Pennant joins non-league Billericay
Former Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant has joined Billericay Town in the seventh tier of English football.
The 34-year-old, who became the most expensive trainee in history when he joined Arsenal from Notts County for £2million in 1999, has lived a nomadic existence since leaving Anfield in 2009.
Having made 55 Premier League appearances in three years at Liverpool, Pennant has since taken in stints at Real Zaragoza, Stoke City, Wolves, FC Pune City, Wigan Athletic, Tampines Rovers and Bury.
Pennant played in Liverpool's 2007 UEFA Champions League final defeat to AC Milan but will this season line up against the likes of Dorking Wanderers, Folkestone Invicta and the Metropolitan Police in the Isthmian League Premier Division.

Oh, and there was my first, sad attempt at quinoa flour pizza crust.
But my point is, I really hate to waste food. And so I'm always checking the fridge for leftover ingredients I can toss into whatever I'm making. Here's what I learned today:
- Quinoa flour is a terrific addition to meatballs. I guess it does what breadcrumbs would have done, which is to make them more tender.
- Cauliflower, though white, cannot be blenderized into mushroom soup to turn it into "cream" of mushroom soup. Mushroom grits is more like it. (Don't worry, I'll eat it anyway.)

Before we build a new, kickass website for a client, we first emphasize the importance of telling their company's unique story online.
Customers don't always pick the best companies or the most technically advanced products. Instead, they choose what they can understand. And one of the best ways for a person to understand your product is by telling a story.
Here are the eight steps we use to clarify our client's message and improve their online marketability by creating a unique story for their brand.
Your customers are the main character in this story. Fulfilling what they want is more effective than boasting about your products' features. I know, I know. We all love showing off our product's abilities. After all, you worked hard to develop and perfect it. But if you watch one of Apple's commercials, there isn't one mention of megabytes or pixels. In their commercial, people are the main characters, and they use the iPad Air as a tool to bring meaning into their lives. Robert Williams narrates and says, "the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?" It's all about your customer and what they want.
Sending people to a website filled with insider jargon will confuse them. Not to mention, it won't excite them about your brand. Luckily, you don't have to become a master storyteller overnight. At Ugly Duck Marketing, we identify your main character (aka potential customer) and we position your services as the tool(s) they need to succeed in their journey.
Customers come to you or visit your website because they have a problem that needs solving. Our team helps you identify what your customer is feeling as it pertains to their problem. State your character's problem and show empathy towards them.
For example, you run a tutoring service for university students, but you're struggling to get the word out. Your main character is a college student who needs affordable tutoring services. But they have a problem; their grades are poor and hiring a tutor is too much money. Therefore, boasting about your educational accolades won't attract new students. Instead, play directly to them by stating their problem:
"With increasing tuition costs, many college students attend classes and work to afford college. It's tiresome, and grades suffer. We believe every student should feel prepared before they attend class. Get quality tutoring for a fraction of the price."
One of the many benefits of partnering with Ugly Duck is we help you expand your business through a combination of online marketing expertise and storytelling.
Your customers need a mentor. Hint, hint, that's YOU! When you position your business as your customers' mentor, they will listen. Here are two things Ugly Duck uses to help you become recognized as a guide in your customer's eyes.
Think of your business as Mr. Miyagi and your customer is young Daniel Larusso from The Karate Kid. Daniel is the main character, and his problem is he gets picked on by bullies who practice karate. Therefore, Daniel wants to learn karate himself. But he doesn't know where to learn how to fight. Miyagi becomes Daniel's mentor and gives him a clear plan to defeat his schoolyard bullies. Also, Miyagi shows Daniel great empathy because he takes the time to train him to compete against the scary Cobra Kai. Are you catching our drift here?
When you partner with us, we position you as a mentor in your field who has a game plan for your customers.
Your customers want you to give them a game plan that will inspire and teach them how to win during their journey. There are two plans Ugly Duck recommends the step-by-step plan or the commitment plan.
Step-By-Step Plan – Explain the steps your customers need to take to win.
Let's say you run a tech firm, and your customers need help buying an office tool. As a mentor, give them a step-by-step plan like the following:
With a step-by-step plan, your customers know what they need to do to solve their problem, that's why they are on your site in the first place.
The Commitment Plan – A list of commitments you make with customers.
This plan should ease your customers' inner fears. In other words, your company's core message should address customers' biggest worries. Ugly Duck enjoys brainstorming these strategies with you. Together, we improve your website with one of our custom game plans.
If you don't ask people 'directly' to buy from you, they most likely won't. Similarly, characters do not take actions on their own (remember when Mr. Miyagi yells at Danielson to "Get Up" before the epic scene where he wins the fight). Your customers are the same and have to be asked to act. Therefore, improving your marketability is impossible without using direct, multiple calls to action.
Call to Action – An instruction or directive to customers to get them to act. The Ugly Duck team writes, designs, and places your call to action statement inside a custom-built button. Then, we implement these call to action buttons throughout your site. Let us help you nudge customers to choose your business every time. Here are a few calls to action we used in Our Work:
When a customer has a problem, things either end well, or they end badly. Our team helps you express what you're helping your customers avoid. If you ran a transmission shop, inform customers of what might happen if they don't use your service. For example, "If you fail to change your transmission fluid every 50,000 miles you are in serious jeopardy of ruining your transmission, and that will cost you $1,000's to fix." By briefly explaining how things will end badly if your customers don't service their vehicle, it will compel the user to take action and schedule an appointment. Otherwise, they won't feel the need to come to you for guidance.
Good stories are ones that bring success to its main character. After all, we all love a happy ending. Show your customers the success they can achieve by using your brand.
An example of showcasing your customers' potential success on your site is by reminding them that YOU can solve their problem. Let's say you run a gym business. Show customers how things can end well with phrases such as, "Yes, you CAN lose weight with our 5 step program!" Let us help you paint a picture of success for your customers, which will improve your website's marketability going forward.
The Ugly Duck Difference Post Launch
Ta-da! You now have happy customers. We mastered the use of storytelling to clarify your message and enhance your online presence. Choosing to partner with us means that our team will work with you to build a site that turns traffic into clients.
To get started, call us today at 661.327.3825 and let's build something great together!

* Raises 2012 output for the third time
* Acquisition to boost Bakken shale output
* Q4 loss widens on derivatives
* Reliable shares up 15 pct
By Aftab Ahmed
March 15 (Reuters) - Crescent Point Energy said it will buy Reliable Energy for C$79.1 million to further boost output from the oil-rich Bakken shale in southwest Saskatchewan, and raised its 2012 production outlook for the third time this year.
Crescent, Canada's No.5 independent oil producer and a pioneer in the Bakken shale, bought some PetroBakken Energy Ltd assets in February and acquired Wild Stream Exploration for C$770 million in January.
The Reliable Energy deal prompted Crescent to raise its 2012 production outlook to above 86,500 boe/d from its earlier view of 86,000 boe/d.
Crescent raised its year-end exit production forecast by about 1,000 boe/d to about 94,000 boe/d.
Reliable Energy has proved plus probable reserves of 4.1 million barrels of oil equivalent as of Dec. 31, 2011, and the oil explorer has identified 36 net locations for drilling.
Crescent, which already holds 12.8 percent stake in Reliable, will pay Reliable shareholders 0.00794 of its stock for each share. The deal represents a premium of 18 percent to Reliable stock's Wednesday close of 30 Canadian cents.
"This deal was just about one third of their quarterly cash flow, and I wouldn't say this was a sizeable acquisition," said Eric Nuttall, the portfolio manager of Canada's Sprott Energy Funds. He thinks the company could buy more during the year.
Crescent will also assume Reliable's debt of about C$20 million.
Reliable's shares rose about 15 percent to 35 Canadian cents on Thursday on the Toronto Venture Exchange.
Calgary, Alberta-based Crescent's net loss widened to C$86.2 million, or 30 Canadian cents a share, from C$50.9 million, or 19 Canadian cents a share, a year ago. The company recorded an unrealized derivative loss of C$271.4 million in the quarter.
The company's fourth-quarter production rose 16 percent to 81,210 boe/d.

For example, a drug addict will not instantaneously become a spiritual person, because his mental addiction has not been defeated yet. I think this can be applied to any sin, and even though our sins are forgiven, God leaves breaking the habit up to us. This chapter also helped me realize that I am easily distracted whenever I'm at church. For example Screwiest says "provided that his neighbor sings out of tune or has squeaky boots or double chins..
.. I was really surprised as I was reading because I always stare at people's shoes and I am easily distracted by obese people. I think it is very wrong to Judge people based on their appearance so this part of the chapter really made me realize that I should be focusing on what the preacher is saying instead of focusing on the appearance of other people. Furthermore in this particular chapter, Screwiest goes on to talk about the patient's state of mind. He states that the patient can still come to the Devil's side.
This part of the chapter made me realize that no matter how long you have been a Christian, the devil is still going to try to tempt you to come back to Satin's side. Another thing that really caught my attention was the fact that Screwiest refers to God as the enemy. "The Enemy takes this risk because He has a curious fantasy of making all these disgusting little human vermin into what He calls His "free" lovers and servants-"sons" is the word He uses, with His inveterate love of degrading the hole spiritual world by unnatural liaisons with the two-legged animals. In this quote, Screwiest is mad because he resents the fact that God doesn't need to make people fear him in order for them to convert to Christianity. This also reminded me of the fact that God loves us so much and that he is by far more powerful than the devil. Screwiest also states in this chapter that the only thing that his nephew has to do is keep the patient keeps focused on the other Christian's faults and sins.
This part of he chapter made me realize that I have to start focusing more on my relationship with God and stop Judging other Christians so harshly because I have probably made worse mistakes. Overall, this book has truly given me a better understanding on the devil's thoughts about God and Christians. This is the most relatable chapter in the book, it helped me see that I is still a lot of work to do in my relationship with God, and that is why I think this is the strongest chapter in the book.

Do you ever wake up especially early to have more of your morning? To find your inner peace before the day even starts for you or anyone else in the household? I've recently started waking up a bit earlier to have more of my day before I have to go to work. The repetitive lifestyle of waking up, going to work, coming home, eating dinner, relaxing for a bit or doing things around the house, then going to bed is exhausting and it shouldn't be like that every single day. I enjoy waking up and meditating while the house is silent. Nobody disturbs my peace and I have the rest of the day to feel calm and collected. It's easier for me to go into work with a smile on my face and the will to make it through the hectic day.
It's very tough to be around those who are negative and can't find the good in every situation. Here you are, trying to be a good and happy person and you're surrounded by angry people. On the road, at work, people you know, people that you have to be nice to relating to your job — everywhere. You're being tested. If these people are strangers that you'll probably never meet again, let it go. It's not worth it to stoop down to their level and ruin your mood for the day. If it's someone you know, you have two options — help them find the good in every situation or back off (for a while or forever). I believe in the art of helping others turn their mood around.
That's why I started this blog — I want to make a difference in your life and help you be a much happier person without worrying as much as you do.

Wait Entertainment: They had great entertainment: the night I went they had a man doing fire tricks that were very interesting to watch and he held the crowds attention! He was very good at what he did and he performed it to music. They also usually have a live band playing for entertainment for customers waiting in line, unfortunately the night I went they had somewhere else they had to be.
Length of Event: The line wait was not that bad, maybe an hour, but I did arrive at 9 and they opened at 7. So if you're looking to get right in I'd go early. The walk through the haunted house took about 20 minutes.
Actor Performance: When you first walk in the girl you see has a very creepy affect as you walk through the swamp. My friends and I found ourselves jumping and screaming many times. All of the actors were on cue and were very effective. My favorite was a guy who crawled on the ceiling right above us; that was very unique and something I have never seen in a haunted house before. There was a guy in a hallway who had a knife and looked like he'd cut himself - it looked very realistic, the blood look very real! The actor sitting with the dummy - you almost didn't know if they were real because they moved in sync and it was creepy! The lady who looked like a doll sitting in a chair had a childish voice that gave you the chills!
Patron Flow Inside Attraction: They groups were well spaced out! I have been in houses where you always catch up with the group ahead and it ruins it and then you have to wait which takes away the effects. We never ran into anyone else or even heard other groups - so it never gave away what was coming next!
Appropriate Ages: Ten and younger may be too scared. Family-friendly.
Props / Special FX: They had an area in the first room that felt like you were sinking in the floor; it was creepy and felt weird. There was a room decorated from saw that had great props with lots of details: the blood, costumes, and fixtures were perfect for it.
Costumes / Make-up: The makeup and costumes were very realistic, and they were well done up. Some times you didn't know if the people were real or dummies!
Summary: I really enjoyed this haunted house, they had new things I have never seen before and really enjoyed. This haunted house has really expanded since last year and I was very impressed. They had a great show while we waited in line- which i have never seen other haunted houses so. I do think it'd be fun if some slight crawling or slides were added. Maybe even moving walls or 3-D type effects. I would recommend this haunted house to anyone who likes going! Great location, close parking, snacks and drinks for purchase while your waiting, entertainment, and a good scare!
Wait Entertainment: There was a dj there. I think he should have played more haunted house music. I heard a few rap songs...ehhh. Other wise good. There was a fire spinner guy. I was in line for a while so I got to watch him twice....THAT WAS COOL. I have went all over to multiple states and everything and I've never had better entertainment in line. There was also a movie projector going and actors messing with us in line! Oh yeah i almost forgot there was two fires to stay warm by and hot food and drinks too.
Length of Event: I would say it was 20 min. A great 20 minutes though.
Actor Performance: This is where this haunt gets HUGE marks from me. These actors ARE their character. There wasn't a single "rawr" it was all in your face, is this guy really going to cut me acting. The actor to actor interactions were great. I really have nothing but positives here.
Patron Flow Inside Attraction: I did not feel rushed at all. I got to interact with the characters and did not get shoved through. I did not even hear another group in front of or behind us at all. I hate when I pay to get in a haunt and you have to stop and wait for the group in front and they ruin scares for you....so I really appreciate the extra wait in line to have a good time.
Appropriate Ages: I would not take anyone under 13. I question taking some adults =D
Props / Special FX: There were not a lot of fake props. Which I like. It was all actors. The scenes were great, very detailed and well put together.
Costumes / Make-up: Costumes looked very custum. I appreciate the time spent in this category. I've been to places where its a mask and a hoodie or even walmart costumes. Not at Haunted Haven. Every costume seems custom made for that actor, that scene. The make-up is downright amazing. I noticed a few of them had these weird eyes even. Some even had their whole bodies painted or bloody. And I don't know why but there was a guy wrapped in I think seran wrap but I liked it and the girls in the group Freaked out everytime this guy came around. (he was a total weirdo though hahaha)
Summary: Okay, so to sum it all up. I go to A LOT of haunted houses every year, and these guys never seem to let me down. I love the fact that these are real actors in your face and that stay in character. I more or less hate animitronic props so these guys got an A there. There were very few things I would switch up and I even got to chat with the owner and give her my feedback personally at the end. I had a good time in line. I had a GREAT time in the House, I highly recommend this haunt to everyone. Kudos to all the actors, and I really like that the owner talks with the patrons. Oh and don't go with someone that will claw you everytime some jumps out. You will be in shreds.
Wait Entertainment: There were people dressed up that stayed in line. And there was food you could buy and eat while you waited.
Length of Event: Wasn't too long.
Actor Performance: They were awesome! Really creepy. They stayed in character really well.
Patron Flow Inside Attraction: I never saw or heard another group while I was in there and I got to look around each room a little before going into the next.
Appropriate Ages: It had a sign saying 13 or older but I saw some little kids with their parents. I wouldn't take little kids to it though.
Props / Special FX: Didn't see many of those. Lots of blinking lights that made it kinda hard to walk in the hallway.
Costumes / Make-up: Good! Only saw a few masks and everyone else just had make up but it looked really good.
Summary: It was really fun. I even had fun in the line. The people came out of the house a few times and were scaring people. This guy came out of the ceiling and it was so awesome I didn't expect that. The room with all the babies was really creepy. The girl in that room kept screaming at me till I guessed her name. Dollie! lol and omg the clowns were crazy! My friend is really afraid of clowns and he ran so fast. It was so funny. I really liked this place. It was really fun.
Wait Entertainment: They had a DJ playing music and fire juggler that was awesome. Would like to of had some actors scaring out front.
Length of Event: about 10 min depending on how fast you ran thru
Actor Performance: Actors were right on with their scares. Snookie was great, over the top a bit but was all over the house never knew where he was gonna be. Repoman scared me thought he was gonna come thru the fence. I was really freaked out by the hallway with the guy trying to cut his arms and asking for help then actors crawling on walls and ceiling, geesh didn't know where they were coming from. The bodies hanging really got me to was waiting for one to be alive. My neice about tore my arm off with the clowns coming after her.
Patron Flow Inside Attraction: We spaced out real well was able to enjoy the house fully. No one caught up to us.
Appropriate Ages: 10+ not for younger
Props / Special FX: Props were perfect sometimes couldn't find the doors out but it just added to the scare.
Costumes / Make-up: They had few masks but mostly make up that I remember.
Summary: The whole event was great my family couldn't stop talking about it. I think the only think that was missing atmosphere was waiting wish there was more actors out front maybe an occasional skit from the actors. My favorite scene was the guy in the hallway with the knife and the guy on the ceiling and walls. They totally freaked me out. Favorite actor was the guy in the fence I think they called him repoman he was great. I liked the live "dead" dolls too. Dolly won't let leave her room. Well worth the money. Looking forward to next year. This one was even better than last year.
Wait Entertainment: I was impressed. They had a DJ playing Halloween like music. I read the other peoples reviews and i did not see the fire spinner or the Band. They had a projector playing movie clips on the barn while waiting in line. A monkey clown guy dancing to the music. I thought he was more funny then scary but it was still good overall. A very creepy gate keeper girl standing at the entrance before you entered. I didn't get any food but they had food and a fire.
Length of Event: I would say it depends on who you are. Max time 20min felt like 10min. in certain parts they would stop and talk to you like the Dollie girl witch made it this event last longer.
Actor Performance: I thought the actors were great. I was very impressed. My favorite actor would have to be the Dollie girl. Her voice reminds me of the girl off of the movie House of 1000 Corpses. A very child like laugh. Another favorite was the scene with the girl begging us to help her while she was tied to the bed. Overall everyone was in character.
Patron Flow Inside Attraction: Did not run into another group witch was awesome. They spaced it out very well. In certain rooms you could go at your own pace sept for the Dollie room cause you have to guess her name witch i forgot.
Appropriate Ages: this event is not kid friendly. 13+ or unless with an adult.
Props / Special FX: when you first walk in your in a swap seen. as you keep walking through you'll walk over this weird dirt patch that feels freaky. Had lots of strobe light effects and fog machines. I was very impressed with there props. They also had sound effects in areas like the clown room they had hardcore rock music playing to add a horror like feel to it.
Costumes / Make-up: the costumes were all great. I would have to say my favorite was the guy you run into in the long hallway with strobe lights had great makeup. He had blood all over him. Most of the actors were wearing detailed makeup. There were only a few masks. Overall i think Costumes and makeup were very good
Summary: My favorite part about this event was the group i was in. The girls were terrified of the clowns. it was hilarious. I didnt feel that they needed to do anything better just have to be there the right day and time to see the cool stuff while waiting in line. My favorite scene would have to be the guy in the long hallway with strobe lights. i walk up to him and he whispers to me are they in your head while holding a knife on his wrist then he screams while bouncing off the walls. it was freaky and i am the type of guy to not really get freaked out by this stuff, loved it. He was also my favorite actor along with the creepy voiced dolly girl. Just think house of 1000 corpses and you'll know what in talking about. So overall i think they gave you your bang for you buck. :)
Wait Entertainment: get there early cuz they get really busy like packed so get ur ticket and get a good place in line but theres good music a dj a fire dancer and some people in costume messing with people in line alot going on
Length of Event: about 20 mins to walk through its well worth is things ive never seen before

Props / Special FX: the make up and prostetics looked very reall alot of detail and time in this haunt very good
Costumes / Make-up: almost everyone had contacts in there eyes that made them look very scary and protetics and teeth and realalistic makeup
Summary: really if havent been to haunted haven by all means check this place out its a must see well worth the drive and money they even have a commercail on tv with very scary clowns Tweeker and Skitzo and Th13teen and Spazo there was a hallway where a very scary person was crawling upsidedown on the celling creepy messed up doll room very scary slaughter kitchen and a awsome swamp
Wait Entertainment: there was a fire dancer which was really cool. a dj, food and drinks, and actors in line. there was a projection screen showing clips of zombies and stuff.
Length of Event: i think it took about 20 minutes im not really sure though.
Actor Performance: the actors were very loud and in your face. they like to be like RIGHT there when you turn around. they did a good job. the leather face guy kept standing in front of the girl so i didnt get to see her. he seemed a little off, i felt like he wouldnt mind having us for tea but the guy in the closet was EVERYwhere. it was like poof he was there. i also liked how a lot of them had there own names. i forget most of them but that was neat. there was def. a little person there. that was so unexpected. I think they all did a really good job though. the clowns were really weird. im not a fan of clowns. these were beyond the normal weird. and there was a creepy girl that called dolly that was very demanding lol. she made us hop on one foot and stuff but it was fun.
Patron Flow Inside Attraction: didnt see or hear anyone else.
Appropriate Ages: probably not for kids.
Costumes / Make-up: i liked all the makeup. less masks becasue of it. The makeup was well done and the costumes seemed to go perfect with the seens.
Summary: i enjoyed myself a lot here. the wait was kind of long but that's how you know its worth it too. the actors did a good job. i think that a lot of people think haunted houses are for kids but this one is more for adults. which i like. "boo" isnt scary so im glad theres a haunted house for adults to get scared at around here now. i recommend this haunted house to everyone. you had to park in a cornfield a little bit of a walk away becasue there were so many people, the only reason i say is because there were a couple of old people there. I thought that was weird but hey thay want to have a good time too right? haha

So we have ended up on the main square of the town at last with our teepee events. This is as good as it gets I guess. And it feels totally natural to be there. I hope we manage to offer a bit more tomorrow since today most of the planned activities went down the drain due to heavy cold (-25C). Like, for example, the paint froze over and it was rather impossible to remove the mittens even for me, not to mention kids who came to crafts something. We´ll rearrange stuff tomorrow so people can sit close to teh fire and make something, and won´t have to stand behind the table near the outside wall. We shall just plan activities you can do sitting down, in your lap.
But the huskies! My gosh, those dogs are amazing, they draw so much attention and they are so beautyful! I am no dog person, but I do love them. they would like to pull a sleigh, but there is not enough snow yet. I hope there will be in the course of the week.

I have been asked to post some recipes. I am happy to do so because I actually like to cook but I must throw out my disclaimer that the recipes aren't totally mine. I wish I was creative in the kitchen (or anywhere else) but I'm not. But I can cook and do tweak things here and there to suit our taste or to make food safe for everyone in my family. I will endeavor to give credit where credit is due whenever I do post a recipe.
One of the most popular meals in my house is "Breakfast for Dinner." Our favorite is buckwheat pancakes but oven pancakes are a close second.
I love oven pancakes mostly because they're so much faster than the griddle. Just mix it up and plop it in the oven. Done and done.
I found this recipe on Pinterest and I have played with it a bit to make it allergy-friendly for my house. It's from Lynn's Kitchen Adventures (go check her site, it's awesome).
Here we go…Allergy-Free Oven Pancake
1/2 cup applesauce (you could also use egg replacer or flax for 2 eggs)
4 Tbsp butter, melted (I use Earth's Balance for dairy free)
2 cups rice milk + 2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp sugar
3/4 cup superfine brown rice flour
3/4 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup potato starch
1/3 cup tapioca starch
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 tsp cinnamon (opt)
Preheat oven to 375. Grease a jelly roll pan (mine was 10×15).
Whisk together the applesauce, butter (Earth's Balance), and soured milk. Stir in dry ingredients till blended. Batter will still be lumpy. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. Pour and spread batter into prepared pan and bake for 12-15 minutes. Serve with maple or fruit syrup. Yum!
I ran upstairs to get the camera to take a picture of the pancakes on the plate and by the time I came back down, The Big Guy was already on his second helping. So the plate is a bit of a mess. I'll do better next time…I promise!
These are really delicious. You can use any type of milk that works for you – almond, coconut, rice, cow…. I'm also thinking about trying it with melted coconut oil instead of butter/Earth's Balance. If I do, I'll let you know how it turns out. In the meantime, make these! You'll be glad you did.

The first documentation of the existence of Denisova hominins has been revealed in a Tibetan cave. The evidence is a mandible aging 160 decades ago.
Discovery of the Fossil
The existence of the species was in great debate due to lack of proof. A monk found the first lower jaw bone in a cave in Gansu Province and gave the piece to a researcher. They began studying the structure but could not determine the exact human subspecies resembling it.
After three decades, Tibet and Chinese researchers started working together to uncover the Denisovans. Surprisingly, another group in Russia conducted DNA analysis in a finger bone they dug. They reported that the sequence was not from the previously known human species.
All three teams worked together to study each other's sample. They were able to date the bone as far as the Middle Pleistocene era from the chemical crust of the jaw. With limited protein samples present in the molar of the fossil, they were able to predict the DNA sequence of the hominins. The best match they've concluded is the Denisovans. Sadly, they cannot extract the DNA structure from the mandible, but this is the best they can show.
Other Information Known About Hominins
Other scientists working on the subspecies felt excited about this discovery. They seemed surprised that one was found more than 3,000 meters above the sea level. Though considering climate changes for the past 160,000 years, the plateau would be a tough place to live in, and it would be notably cold there.
Most of the studies are from Western countries, but recent studies from Asian researchers are gaining more attention. It is evident that there are at least three different historic group of people known in East Asia.
People have been trying to understand the missing link that makes up of the Pacific Islander's trait of tolerating high altitudes. They were trying to find proof in the Denisova cave with no luck. It seems like a surprise that the fossils will show up in different areas of the world.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8a
Rev. Todd Harris, preaching
Enhancing Your Love
A love map is that part of one's brain where one stores all the relevant information about one's spouse's life, such as their worries, hopes, and goals in life; their history; and the facts and feelings of their world. According to Gottman, happily married couples use their love maps to express not only their understanding of each other, but their fondness and admiration as well.
Nurturing Fondness and Admiration
Nurturing fondness and admiration involves meditating a bit on one's partner and what makes one cherish him or her. Exercises the book suggests for doing this include, among other things, thinking about incidents that illustrate characteristics one appreciates in one's partner; talking about the happy events of the past; and completing a 49-item "Seven-Week Course in Fondness and Admiration."

The #1 ranked Boyden Hull Rock Valley Nighthawks lost to the #5 ranked Spirit Lake Indians in Hull on Friday night 21-17.
Spirit Lake started the game off with a 85 yard touchdown run on the first play of scrimmage when running back Cody Poock ran the ball over the left side. That 16 second 1 play drive put the Indians on top 7-0 with 11:38 left in the first quarter.
The Indians great start continued when on the following Nighthawk's possession, Brandt Van Roekel threw the first of his 4 interceptions to Bryson McCabe. With all the momentum on the Spirit Lake side, the Nighthawks were able to force a field goal attempt by Brett Cochran-Bray. Dallas Rozeboom of the Nighthawks was able to partially block the kick and give the Nighthawks possession with no harm done.
On that following possession the Nighthawks were able to drive down to the 21 yard line before stalling out and getting a 38 yard field goal from David De Bruin. The score with 2:47 left in the first quarter was 7-3 in favor of the Indians.
After trading an interception and a fumble, the Indians took over on the Boyden Hull Rock Valley 47 yard line. Spirit Lake scored 2:21 later on a 20 yard Cody Poock touchdown run. With the extra point, the Indians extended the lead to 14-3 over the Nighthawks with 11:10 left in the first half.
Both defenses stood their ground for the rest of the first half as the score remained 14-3.
The second half started with a long Nighthawks drive that ended on a downs on the 21 yard line of Spirit Lake. Defensively, the Nighthawks stepped up in a big way when Paul Brown threw his 2nd of 4 interceptions to Brandt Van Roekel, Van Roekel returned the ball 26 yards for the score. That score from Van Roekel cut the Spirit Lake lead to 4 with 5:29 left in the 3rd quarter.
The Nighthawks Andrew Van Ginkel intercepted another Brown pass on the next possession which led to a 42 yard touchdown drive which lasted 3:13. Boyden Hull Rock Valley's drive was finished off when Van Roekel found Miguel Alvarado for the 8 yard touchdown pass. With that score and extra point the Nighthawks took the 17-14 lead with :58 left in the 3rd quarter.
The Nighthawks lead would not last though, as the Indians took over with 7:50 left and drove the ball 83 yards in 7:06. Spirit Lake scored on a Paul Brown to Poock 19 yard touchdown pass. The extra point made the score 21-17 and the Nighthawks had just 44 seconds left to score.
Nighthawks season would come to an end after a last ditch hail mary effort by Van Roekel was intercepted by the Indians making the final 21-17.
Boyden Hull Rock Valley (11-1, 6-0 in District) lost for the second straight year in the quarterfinal round. Spirit Lake (11-1, 6-0 in District) will travel to the UNI Dome and face Carroll Kuemper Catholic next week Saturday.

The Catch Is Here
There weren't many down hill stretches but Mark Cavendish took full advantage of this one to get as The fate of almost every break away is to be caught and the earlier it forms, the smaller the group, the surer it is to be reeled back in. Cameron Wurf of Cannondale and Jack Bobridge of Team Blanco put in a valiant effort, but it was to be a day for the sprinters and no break away was going to spoil that. So the peleton sucked them up with 25 kilometers left to race.

In the current world where nothing could be considered without the world wide web, a site is essential for any enterprise.
A site is thought to be a symbol of a company online by acting as the surface of the business online. Get more info about graphic design services in Toronto, through https://www.thoughtmedia.com/process/custom-graphic-design/

Consequently, it turns into a mandate for a company to make a site as professionally as you can.
It's because the further professionally it's created, the better it's for your own site and company.
To boost the efficacy of internet design, an individual can integrate graphic design solutions.
In today's competitive world, branding is an essential action and a company must employ a company which promises to give excellent expert Graphic Design Services.
It's necessary because as without appropriate branding of any item or service, it might go undetected on the current market, as it doesn't exist and the company must suffer significant losses.
While taking out the action of web designing, it has to be considered that specific areas need more effort to earn a picture extremely appealing and attractive.
At precisely the exact same time, an expert graphic designer must ensure the site thus created won't be bombarded with images which can probably reduce its loading rate and produce the expression of the site awkward.
A graphic designer should also remember there are particular areas that are required the participation of successful graphic designing skills.
These regions are navigation bars, logos, and mastheads, backgrounds, etc.

ALLEN, TEXAS. Allen is on U.S. Highway 75 eight miles southwest of McKinney in southwestern Collin County. The town was established in 1870 by a purchasing agent for the Houston and Texas Central Railway and named in 1872 for Ebenezer Allen, former attorney general of Texas and a promoter of the railroad. In 1876 a post office opened there. Four years later Denton outlaw Sam Bass supposedly committed the first train robbery in the state at Allen. By 1884 Allen had a population estimated at 350, three churches, a school, a chair factory, and a flour mill. In 1908 the Texas Traction Company built an electric railway through the town. The population had increased to 550 by 1915. In the mid-1940s the number of residents declined to 400, and in 1948 train service was discontinued. Beginning in the late 1960s, however, Allen's population grew rapidly. Between 1970 and 1980 the number of residents jumped from 1,940 to 8,314. This increase was influenced by the economic growth of Dallas and nearby Plano and the construction of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. In 1990 Allen had a population of 18,309 and was the third largest town in Collin County. In 2000 the town's population grew to 43,554.

A brawl is surely brewing!
Just. One. More. Go. You fail, you're taunted by the boss, and a meter displays how tantalisingly close you were to knocking out your nemesis. It's enough to have you hitting retry immediately. "A brawl is surely brewing!" screams the announcer as the battle commences again. It sure is!
After enjoying success on Microsoft's Xbox One, Cuphead arrives on Nintendo's Switch as one of the first examples of their recent partnership. It's an exceptional conversion of a really excellent game that presents the epitome of addictive gameplay.
Cuphead is a manic, fiendish side-scrolling boss rush. Over three worlds, the titular character (or his brother Mugman if you so choose) must defeat a number of inventive enemies in his quest to appease the Devil. He can shoot bullets from his fingertips, jump, dodge and parry any pink-coloured attacks to build up a devastating special. And that's it. This is tightly constructed gameplay as the ultimate test in skill, timing and – most of all – patience.
There is some variety, with flying levels and platforming challenges mixed in. In the latter, you collect coins that can be spent on charms and weapons, allowing you to mix up your strategies. These can be swapped in the gorgeous map screen that sees your adorable hero marching through each world, tackling the bosses in any order of preference and discovering secrets. Log in with a second controller and you can play two player co-op, too.
It's the presentation that really elevates Cuphead, though. Taking inspiration from 1930s American cartoons like Steamboat Willie, Felix The Cat and Betty Boop, each character and level is hand-drawn to depict a surreal fantasy. Huge eyes, animated expressions and other cartoony effects give a unique character to the game, all underscored by a playful ragtime and big band score that's as fun yet cruelly mocking as the visuals.
The multi-phase bosses are amongst the most inventive in gaming. Anthropomorphic vegetables cry; a flying transforming cuckoo clock fires a storm of feathers; a devilish clown rides a rollercoaster from hell; a pair of boxing frogs morphs into a slot machine. To say any more would spoil the fun of discovery.
Yet it's the little touches that truly make Cuphead. The grainy filter that overlays the visuals and the crackling sound that make you feel like you're literally playing a cartoon from that era. The way the band breaks down when you die. The words of encouragement from the announcer and the trash talk of the bosses.
It may look like a children's game, but Cuphead is anything but. The (almost) pitch-perfect difficulty is sky-high, requiring multiple playthroughs of each boss to merely learn their attack patterns. Rarely do games test your skills as much as this, but no matter how hard it gets the game's charm keeps you hitting that retry button again and again. Not since Dark Souls has beating a game boss felt so exhausting and rewarding. Relief soon turns to excitement at what's to come next, followed by dread, panic and rage.
At times the difficulty becomes intensely frustrating and may leave you hoarse from screaming (or it that just me?). The odds are unfairly stacked against you and the random nature of some boss attacks require you to rely on instinct rather than learned patterns. This sometimes leaves you in impossible situations where death is inevitable and the game merely laughs at you in response.
Thankfully, it runs beautifully on the Switch. The controls favour the face buttons that are somewhat cramped, but can be reconfigured in any way (move dodge to one of the triggers – you'll thank me later). It looks stunning when docked, but is just as smooth and responsive in handheld mode – even if you risk throwing your console across the room in a huff.
But then, eventually, you break through. Cuphead's crazy visuals are endlessly charming and its punishing difficulty ultimately satisfies. So give that boss one more go. Maybe this time you'll score a knockout.

The Parable of the Tenants
Audio Player
Have you ever been a tenant? Have you ever rented a property – maybe for years, maybe for a week or two? If so, what kind of tenant are you? Whether or not you have been a tenant, that is the question for every one of us this morning. We live in a world that belongs to God, who made it. It belongs to him. What kind of tenants are we?
Well we're picking up our series on Luke's Gospel again called the King and the Kingdom, and we've got to the Parable of the Tenants. This is Luke 20.9-18, and it's there on p 879 in the Bibles. Please have that in front of you. And you can also find my outline at the back of the service sheet. You'll see there that I want to talk about: a story Jesus told; a history Jesus knew; a reality Jesus experienced; and a warning and a promise Jesus gave. So:
1. A Story Jesus Told
Nowadays, the papers seem to be littered with stories of terrible tenants. I believe there's even been a TV series called 'tenants from hell', so common is this kind of case. I'll tell you more about one extreme example in a bit.
As we've already heard, Jesus told a story about tenants from hell. That's not his phrase, but perhaps it's even more applicable because the case that Jesus told about was even more extreme – to the point of murder.
This wasn't just a story to fill the pages of the tabloids, of course. This was a parable – a story with a deeper significance that those with eyes to see could see. Although in this case it was really staring everyone in the face. The significance was not obscure. It was dangerously obvious.
So what was the situation when Jesus told this tale? Jesus was teaching and preaching in the temple in Jerusalem. And he was challenged by the religious leaders. This is the first part of Luke 20, and Ken spoke about this a couple of weeks ago. Effectively, they were asking Jesus, 'Who do you think you are to come and preach on our patch and make these outrageous claims? Who gave you the authority?' Well, he stymied them on that one with a counter-challenge – you can read about that for yourself later. And then he told them this story with a sting in the tale. Luke 20.9:
"And [Jesus] began to tell the people this parable: 'A man planted a vineyard and let it out to tenants and went into another country for a long while.'"
Now that immediately flags up that this is indeed not just going to be a story to keep them entertained. Why? Because talk of a vineyard would immediately make them think Jesus is actually going to talk about Israel – the Jewish nation. Why? Because these are Bible teachers and scholars who Jesus is aiming this at. They would have been very well aware that the Old Testament uses a vineyard as a picture of Israel. And planting a vineyard is a picture of God making a people for himself. So, for instance, there's Isaiah 5. This prophecy begins (Isaiah 5.1):
"Let me sing for my beloved my song concerning his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill. He dug it and cleared it of stones and planted it with choice vines; ..."
And it goes on to say that the owner of the vineyard had done everything possible for it. But the crop that it produced was useless. So he says he's going to break down its walls and turn it into a wasteland. And then this, in verse 7 of Isaiah 5:
"For the vineyard of the Lord of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are his pleasant planting; and he looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold, an outcry."
For the planter read the Lord. For the vineyard read Israel. And when the Lord looks at his people he expects to see justice, but instead, he sees bloodshed.
So when those chief priests and scribes and elders heard the opening line of Jesus story, just after their attack on him has been stymied, perhaps they thought, 'We're not going to like this story. This is not going to end well for us. What's coming?' And they would have been right to worry. And, if they'd been listening, so would all the nations of the world be right to worry. Why? Because the Lord of Hosts, the maker and judge of all the earth, is about to give his verdict on how his people have treated him across the centuries. And what applies to Israel also applies with equal force to the whole of humanity.
So Jesus goes on:
"When the time came, [the owner of the vineyard] sent a servant to the tenants, so that they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard."
In other words, it's time to pay the rent – as of course they should. "But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed." Can you imagine that? You would have thought that would be the end of it there and then. But this owner it seems has great patience. "And he sent another servant. But they beat and treated him shamefully,..." so there's an escalation in their abuse "... and sent him away empty-handed. And he sent yet a third. This one also they wounded and cast out." So this one wasn't just sent away, he was thrown out – perhaps too beaten up and injured to walk. "Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do?'" Send in the troops perhaps. But no, his patience is still not exhausted.
"I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him. But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, 'This is the heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.'"
What are those tenants thinking? That is breathtakingly bold and stupid at the same time. How do they think this is going to end? But they don't come to their senses. Instead, Jesus goes on:
"And they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him."
That's the story Jesus told. And it vividly depicts:
2. A History Jesus Knew
Only last week there was a story in the papers about 'tenants from hell'. Or so the paper called them. And I have to say I can see why. The headline was
"British mother, 46, says 'tenants from hell' have destroyed her dream Spanish holiday home and left her £50k in debt".
Apparently these tenants seemed like good, ordinary people, until they took possession of the house. Then everything started to go wrong. They threw furniture out of the windows, broke walls and flooring, racked up unpaid electricity bills, and destroyed the sofas. The kitchen was left destroyed, with holes in the cupboards and pink graffiti and swear words sprayed up the walls and on appliances. Shocking stuff.
In Jesus' parable, who is it that are represented by that sequence of servant-messengers the vineyard owner sent? Above all they are the prophets, who spoke God's word to a world and a nation that didn't want to listen. As Hebrews 1 says:
"Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things ..."
Here are two examples of how the prophets were treated, beyond just being ignored.
When the prophet Elijah was calling Israel back to God, the king was Ahab – a tenant from hell if ever there was one. He blamed Elijah for the spiritually squalid state of the nation he imagined he ruled. So on one occasion, when he met Elijah, Ahab said to him (this is 1 Kings 18.17):
"Is it you, you troubler of Israel?"
There speaks the sinful heart. There is a terrible irony in the fact that it's the one who speaks God's truth and proclaims God's word who gets blamed by the Godless world for all that's wrong with it.
Many years later, the prophet Jeremiah warned that God's longsuffering patience was finally running out and judgement was coming on the nation in the form of destruction at the hands of their enemies. How was he received? Jeremiah 26.11:
"Then the priests and the prophets said to the officials and to all the people, 'This man deserves the sentence of death, because he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your own ears.'"
Never mind that what he said was true, and listening to him was their only hope. By the grace of God, some did listen on that occasion, and Jeremiah was allowed to live to prophesy another day.
That was not the case for Jesus, the Son of God himself, when he came from the Father. Which brings us to:
3. A Reality Jesus Experienced
Back to that Spanish dream holiday home with its tenants from hell. One time, when the owner and landlord visited the property, they said 'we will murder you' and threw a brick from the roof at her. 'They threatened to kill me', she said, 'even leaving a knife wedged in the sofa with a threat on my life. This has been a nightmare. The entire situation has left me heartbroken – the house isn't even habitable at the moment.' What happened next? We'll come back to that.
Let me just remind you of the sequence of response to Jesus as he taught and healed and called people to put their trust in him – and poured out his love on those around him. Here's Luke 4.28-30, early in his public ministry:
"When they heard [what Jesus was saying], all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. And they rose up and drove him out of the town and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff. But passing through their midst, he went away."
His time had not yet come. On to 5.21:
"And the scribes and Pharisees began to question, saying, 'Who is this who speaks blasphemies?'"
"But they were filled with fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus."
19.47 (just before our passage):
"And [Jesus] was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people were seeking to destroy him."
Then here are the words of Pontius Pilate (of all people) in 23.15:
"Look, nothing deserving death has been done by him."
And a few verses later:
"... they crucified him."
When Jesus told his parable, he knew exactly what he was talking about. The vicious hostility towards him was already strong and obvious. He knew how it was going to end. He knew he was going to the cross. That was the reality that Jesus experienced.
But then finally and:
4. A Warning and A Promise Jesus Gave
So what happened in the case of that dream Spanish holiday home that turned into a nightmare and left its owner heartbroken by the vandalism and violence of her tenants from hell? The tenants were taken to court, at the owner's expense. Months of eviction notices were ignored.
But judges and courts will not tolerate being ignored, and will not be thwarted in the end. Eventually, those tenants from hell were evicted by the court authorities, so the owner could take possession of her property again. She has paid a high price, but she and her family and friends are restoring the house to what it should be.
Now back to Jesus and his hearers – and this is where it gets interactive between them. Jesus asks the obvious cliff-hanger question. What's going to happen to next? Or as he says (this is the second part of verse 15):
"What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?"
And he answers his own question:
"He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others."
And this brings a shocked response from his hearers:
"When they heard this, they said, 'Surely not!'"
They seem to be in denial about the inevitable end to this story.
"But [Jesus] looked directly at them …"
as if to say, 'this is you I'm talking about'
"… and said, 'What then is this that is written: "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone"?'"
That's a Bible quote from Psalm 118. And he adds:
"Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him."
'What does that mean?', he asks. What it means is that he, Jesus is the rock on which the world is built. He is the solid foundation of everything. And if, after all his patience, we end up rejecting him, thinking to gain, we will be sorely disappointed. Because if in the end we reject him, he will reject us, and – to use this picture of the great rock falling on us – we will have the life crushed out of us.
That's the warning. But on the other side of that coin there's a promise as well. The promise is that Jesus is on a mission. The day will come when he will eject from his kingdom all that is evil and all who are evil. All who are his enemies on that day will not be able to stand against him. Goodness and righteousness and the love of Christ will prevail. And the kingdom will be given to those who have turned from their sin and rebellion and put their trust in him and in the forgiveness that flows from his blood shed on that cross. They will not deserve a place in his kingdom. But his is a kingdom of grace and mercy. That is the promise.
So there are some clear lessons for us all.
One, see how deep the corruption in humanity goes – and in our own hearts. Only then can we see the full wonder of what Jesus did for us when he died for our sins on the cross. As J.C. Ryle puts it:
"Christ is never fully valued until sin is clearly seen."
Two, be amazed at the longsuffering and patience of God towards us. We try his patience beyond all endurance, and yet he continues to give us and the world new opportunity after new opportunity to turn back to him in repentance and faith.
Three, don't lose sight of the fact that God's patience will one day come to an end. The task of calling the nations of the world to repentance and faith is urgent. We dare not delay. The day of final reckoning is coming. The owner and landlord will clear out the tenants from hell. He will restore his rightful rule. He is the owner and the judge and the ruler of this world of his. He gave his Son to die, and raised him from death, so that he could fully take possession of his Kingdom again. He will complete his mission.
Four – and to spell it out – a person's eternal destiny is determined by his or her attitude to Jesus. If, as it were, anyone throws out his messengers and wishes him dead and gone, then they are joining the tenants from hell and will share their fate. So don't ignore what Jesus said, and don't despise what Jesus did, and don't reject Jesus. Let's make sure we keep on turning to him in repentance and faith. And then let's take every opportunity to persuade others to do the same. Then, by grace, we will belong in the vineyard. We will have a place in his kingdom. We will share in his inheritance – and in all the blessings of eternal life.

Seniors Roam Through Thimphu, Punakha and Gangtey
So where are we my dear? These senior citizens are certainly off the beaten track but on a journey that we will not forget…that's certain. We are over in the "Dragon Kingdom." Did that help at all? No? It's the Kingdom of Bhutan.
We have to land at Delhi,India but after that, it's an uphill adventure. So we now fly over the Himalayas to the green valleys of Bhutan. We'll set down in Paro and then catch a bus to Thimphu that will take us about an hour and a half. Now we are ready to experience an adventure beginning with a short walking tour to Memorial Chorren, a well known religious landmark.
In Thimphu, seniors tour the National Library that has one of the finest collections of Buddhist manuscripts in the world. The Painting School will enthrall us. The Folk Heritage Museum that celebrates the regions rural life catches our eye. And yet another draw is the local Textile Museum and then on to Tashichhoe Dzong, an historic fortress and monastery. So after a good nights rest and some local cuisine, we trace off to Punakha via the Duchula Pass, that's way up there high in the sky (10,000 feet).
Seniors Discover Odysseys Unlimited
Punakha sits at the confluence of the "Mother" river and the "Father" river in the valley. More monasteries to visit today. Close by we visit Chime Lhakhang, a local temple. It dates to 1499 and was built by the "Divine Madman."
So now it's time to head off to Gangtey (also known as Phobjikha) a bowl-shaped alley where a lot of black-necked cranes congregate. You kill a crane here and your sentence is lifetime in prison. So senior friends, we will leave the cranes alone. While we are in the area we will visit the oldest school of Himalayan Buddhism. So we've made the triangle and head back to Paro (I'll fly you in on DrukAir BA146).
Now we'll rest up a bit in historic Paro teeming with sacred sites before heading back home. After reading this, you might be interested in traveling to a distant and devout land, where Buddhism and culture abide; where Gross National Happiness measures the wealth of a nation.
Odysseys Unlimited takes us high in the Himalayas to encounter the peaceful kingdom that has long drawn mystics and seekers – and that rewards modern-day senior visitors with a taste of tradition undisturbed. Odysseys Unlimited specialize in small-group travel.
If you would prefer to explore more programs on Asia and the Far East, read on. If you are ever close to Newton,MA, stop in and visit personally with the travel folks there. Read what others have experienced with Odysseys Unlimited and their tours elsewhere. Have fun making those plans to visit Bhutan. jeb

Spanish Wines & Paella
A very big "Muchas Gracias" to everyone who came along to our Spanish Fiesta last weekend! It was really great fun and the sun shone!! We had a lovely little get-together here in the village. Alvaro, our Rioja maestro, played an absolute blinder with the paellas and the Spanish nibbles and the range of wines on tasting went down very well. In fact two of our wines sold out completely on the day, the El Camino Rioja and the Marieta Albarino, two seriously tasty wines…It was truly fascinating to watch Alvaro step by step as he fashioned the paellas with all the various ingredients… and the aromas emanating from his frying pan had everybody's taste-buds tingling! It was also very interesting in terms of "wine education" to sample the Godello white from Galicia and the Bierzo red (made from the local Mencia grape) a lovely supple fruity red. The wines certainly tasted great with the Spanish ham, cheese and olives. The wines we tasted were: Marieta Albarino 2011 RRP15.99 Alba Martin Albarino 2011 RRP15.99 Martin Codax Albarino 2011 RRP17.99 Mara Martin Godello 2012 RRP15.99 Pizarras de Otero Mencia 2012 RRP15.99 El Camino Rioja 2010 RRP15.99 Thanks again!

Now you all know that I am no crafty mama, but my love for all things red and pink makes me very excited for Valentine's Day! I barely even have to feel bad about taking down my Christmas decorations when I know that another great holiday is right around the corner. If you are searching for some easy activities to do with your little ones, I've got you covered. If this non-crafty mom can do these, so can you!
Make Some Chocolates
One of the easiest (and sweetest) activities is making some chocolates. These little chocolate hearts are super easy and inexpensive to make. I purchased a silicone mold like this one for the chocolates. Grab some candy melts like these in the color (or colors) of your choosing and get started. I typically heat the chocolates in the microwave until they are just melted. Although those plastic squirt bottles are less messy, the chocolate can be pretty warm, so I prefer a spoon and bowl. Simply have your child fill the mold and let cool. Within minutes, you have beautiful and festive candies for Valentine's Day. Thinking about having some friends over as well? Just grab a few more molds and be sure to give everyone their own bowl of melted chocolates and mold. Check out my post on the Easter candies we made with friends here.
Homemade Valentine's Day Cards
Instead of buying a pack of cards, why not have your child make some homemade Valentine's Cards? Now I will confess that there is a little prep work involved in these, but it really isn't too bad. I used red construction paper as the background and cut each sheet into four squares. I took three pieces of white paper and asked my daughter to paint some swirls and hearts all over them. I love these Do A Dot Paints for a mess-free painting experience with the littles!
While she was as school, the paint dried. I cut the painted paper into hearts and she glued them onto the red paper. After that, she added her own special touches using stickers and her name on the back. They really came out so cute and it was definitely more fun than filling out some store bought cards. I'm sure you creative mamas can come up with something even better!
Bake a Festive Dessert
Everyone knows that I am a baking junkie and I especially love to make cakes. If you need advice on making some awesome cakes, check out my Killer Cakes for Dummies post. My daughter isn't quite into baking as much as I am, but she is always willing to lend a hand when it comes to things like crushing Oreo cookies, adding ingredients to the mixing bowl and being my official taste-tester. I always try to make a fun cake for each holiday and Valentine's Day is no exception. I really enjoyed making this red velvet cake from my favorite baker, Add a Pinch. I added my own crazy twist by filling the cake with crushed Oreos and sprinkles.
If you aren't a fan of baking cakes, grab a great sugar cookie recipe, add some food coloring and have your child cut out some heart shaped cookies. Prefer to cook? You can even do a heart shaped pizza! There are so many ways to make a festive treat in the kitchen. The best part about edible treats is that you get to sample the product at the end.
No matter what you do for Valentine's Day, be sure that it is filled with lots of love and time spent with family and friends! I would love to hear about some of your fun and creative crafts.

So, we're closing in on a month since Waking Up Dead went live. It's been an interesting learning curve so far. Most of what I've learned I already knew intellectually from research and discussions with other writers, but like so much of life, there is a huge difference between knowing something and experiencing it!
I'm honestly still surprised at how many people don't actually know I've got a book out. I feel sometimes like I talk about it too much (a feeling I know many other writers have mentioned), yet I still find that a large percentage of folks who personally know me have no idea. It's odd, but it reinforces one of the lessons I'd long heard about: Getting knowledge of your first book out is often just as tricky as getting your first book out.
I also understand I missed a handful of typos in Book One. Not surprising, I suppose, given how many edits I did, but as soon as I get the details of that I'll update those. Those of you with digital versions will get the updates. Those of you with physical editions will have collector's items :)
Once that is done, I plan to put a handful of targeted ads out. My budget's not that large, but I know it takes money to make money, and the more folks who know about Book One, the bigger audience I will have for Book Two. If you run a blog that does book reviews, btw, and are interested in reviewing Waking Up Dead, feel free to contact me for a review copy.
Book Two is slowly but steadily moving along. I've gotten over 45,000 words written in the current draft. Book One finished at just under 80,000 words, so I'm over the halfway point if I stay around the same size. Of course, once I get it written there will be many revisions, I'm sure, before I am willing to let it out into the wild, but know it's coming and I'll try not to make you wait too long for it ;)
Speaking of waiting! Many of you have told me you wanted to attend my previously mentioned book signing. I'm happy to announce the wait for that is not much longer. On Saturday March 8th I'll be in Athens, Tx. at the East Texas Book Exchange, which is located at 408 N. Prairieville St.
Exact time is still TBD, but I'll be there for several hours. If you're in the area, please come by and say hello.
Thanks as always to all of you who have helped support me in this endeavor. Keep spreading the word and leaving reviews, and feel free to contact me with any questions or comments!

#01-58 Seah Im Food Centre
Singapore 099114
10:00am - 08:00pm
The chilli is good.
Everything else just taste as good as other popular braised duck rice i had in Singapore.
I would say yu kee is better.
8 Jan'19, Tue🌥
📍Cai Ji Boneless Duck Rice Porridge 財記起骨鴨飯粥
- 鴨飯🍖
Like the tenderness of the duck meat, not like the usual dry dry cha-cha one (不像一般柴柴的肉質)...
For ppl who's afraid of the duck meat smell, I think the stall-holder did a great job in handling the duck meat, I don't particularly notice that smell, and the herbal sauce is like a best match...
The yam rice, the rice is not lumpy kind (粒粒分明), and quite flavourful, and the chilli is also yum!
The soup is those kind herbal soup style, nice...
For the price, it's a steal! Keep coming back for this each time I'm at the vicinity~
Note: As the shop name suggest, their duck rice is boneless (no extra charge)!!!
Damage: $3
Located at 2 Seah Imm Road, Seah Imm Food Centre unit 01-58, Singapore 09114. .
Duck Breast Meat, $4 + extra $0.50 for Tau Pok. You won't missed this stall as they are the only few stalls with super long snaking q during lunch time! Also, one of the few who still serve both white and yam rice! As Yam rice addicts, of course we had to choose their yam rice! Wow, there's really yam cubes in it!! So surprised to bite into yam cubes as it's very hard to find yam in yam rice nowadays. Yam rice is very fragrant on its own and flavorful. They are also very generous in their servings. Duck meat is tender and tasty. With their drizzle of gravy and chilli, everything on this plate is on point, not too salty for our liking! For those who love yam rice, you should try this stall out! .
#hungryunicornsg #caijibonelessduckriceporridge #duckrice #braisedduckrice
A very generous serving here at Cai Ji. They offer yam rice which felt healthier than just the usual. Didn't drizzle with any starchy kind of sauce so I could really taste the tenderness of the duck. I can understand the long queues during usual office hours
$5.70 for BOTH duck thigh yam rice, with duck neck! Where else can you find such affordable duck rice? Yam rice and the chilli paste were also on point. 😋
The duck is very tender and i love the yam rice
