Craig: Hello, I'm Craig Constantine.
Max: Hi, I'm Max Henry.
Craig: …and this is Parkour, They Said. Max Henry is a native New Yorker. Recently, he's been traveling across America by road, writing his book, "The Parkour Roadmap," and pausing to explore and pick some amazing banjo. Now that his book is done, he's agreed to sit still for just a few minutes.
Max has always been fascinated by movement. He started with baseball, turned left into gymnastics, and continued [00:00:30] on to three years of state and regional competitions. In 2007, five years after moving on from gymnastics, Max discovered Parkour. Initially impressed as much by the philosophy behind the movements, as the movements themselves, by the time he saw his first rail precision, he was hooked. In 2010, Max was invited to join a group of World Free Running and Parkour Federation athletes on a road trip around the wild, wild west, kick-starting his personal progression as a practitioner.
Since 2011, he's been [00:01:00] working as a professional Parkour athlete with a who's-who list of companies including Assex, American Eagle, Hulu, the NBA, Nerf, Red Bull, Smart Car, and he doubled for Jax in the movie Tracers. He's had the opportunity to coach internationally with the WFPF, American Parkour, The Movement Creative, and Parkour Generations Americas. Outside of Parkour, Max majored in mathematics — which might explain how he sticks all those rail precisions — and minored in music at Hofstra University. If you ever manage to catch him resting, [00:01:30] he'll likely be singing, playing an instrument, or tucked away somewhere cozy reading epic fantasy, 20th century American poetry, or books about mountains.
Welcome, Max!
Max: Thank you. That was an excellent, excellent job. Very good.

Follow these basic tips and you'll have a release that works:
- Plan your objectives. Know WHY you are putting out a release. Exactly what do you want? A story? A mention? An interview? A spot on your website? (should be there anyway) A mention in a blog?
- People often say "I want to do a release," when what they really want is free advertising. This leads your release to a short trip to the electronic round file in a newsroom, and hurts your credibility for the next time. Reporters are busy people and resent being on the receiving end of self-serving promotional pitches.
- Make sure it's got potential. Legs. Energy. Interest. Timeliness. ( Last week's news is fish wrap.) Check your budget. If you are planning on putting your release out on a newswire such as CNW http://www.newswire.ca, realize that it costs money. Call for an estimate, identify your targets, geography, and timing. Nice people there will help you.
- Check your availability, or that of your spokesperson. Don't put out a release and then disappear to the cottage for the weekend, or turn off your cell phone. Be available, give all your contact information, and have a back-up person ready to take the media calls if you are unavailable. If one of your objectives is an interview of a noteable person, make sure that person is available and not about to step onto a plane.
- Make it newsworthy and timely. Make sure you have something to say that interests your target audience. Does it have a solid news angle? (Make the angle on the story entertaining, interesting or newsworthy or don't bother sending out a release.)
- Answer these questions as you plan your release: Are prominent people involved? Does your story have a human side to it? Local or industry/cause angle? Can it be tied to a larger issue?
- Target your releases. Find the bloggers in your industry or field. Have a media list ready and make sure you've got the name of the reporter who covers that beat (area of interest). If you don't know, call up and find out. Reporters often rotate through different beats. Don't send a health story to the business section – unless you have a revolutionary new device that will save lives and the company's stock is publicly traded.
- Target the webzines and FB pages that carry news and features in your area/industry.
- Use the proper press release format. Write it properly. Use the inverted pyramid format, with the most important information at the top and your boilerplate at the bottom.
- Read it out loud. Does it flow? Is it jerky? Are your sentences too long? Watch out for repetition.
- Have someone else check it for grammar and spelling. Spelling and grammar mistakes can ensure a quick trip to the round file. The reasoning goes like this: if you can't be bothered to spell it correctly, why on earth should a reporter trust a single thing you have to say?
- Keep the press release concise and clear. Get to the point in the first paragraph. If you have two key points, the second point goes in the second paragraph.
- Always cover Who, When, Where, What and Why and Why should anyone care, right up front.
- Write an excellent headline. The headline is 90 per cent of the release. If the headline can't stand on its own, go back to the beginning and ask yourself if you really have something newsworthy to say.
- SEO keywords – usually a string of words, actually. If you have a good headline, keywords will already be there naturally. If not, first para should contain them. More is made of this than needs to be made of this. A good release will get picked up all over the place, because it's a good release.
- Always have a boilerplate paragraph. Boilerplate means who you or your organization are, what you do/produce, where you are based and how long you've been in business.
- Make sure it's "tweetable." When the coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs was fired, he issued three tweets in a row. Each tweet looked like a separate chunk of a news release. I don't know this for a fact, but as I sat there watching the CBC tweetfeed, it sure looked that way to me. He also laced his remarks with class and grace – a perfect combination of new technology and old-fashioned principles.
Those are the basics, but rigid adherence to a template can produce a snorefest. Avoid boring useless quotes that don't advance your story and won't get used. A killer usually starts with "I am delighted…"
…which brings me to the "don'ts":
- Avoid buzzwords, hyperbole, adjectives, and exaggeration. Do NOT use exclamation marks!!!!
- Avoid trendy words and phrases like "leading edge" or "continuous improvement", or one that I have heard recently, "lens." Another irritant: words that are nouns used as verbs. "Access" is a perfect example, along with "legitimize." That stuff belongs in mission statements or corporate discussions, not in press releases. Avoid industry jargon or academic language unless you are aiming at an academic journal.
- All Upper Case Characters – Never submit a press release in all upper case characters. The headline and body of your press release should be in proper case.
- Grammatical Errors – Even the best writers do make them. Proof read, edit and reproof your release. Obvious errors are easier to catch when composing your release off-line. Never write it during the submission process. Print it off and have a good look at it. If you need editorial assistance, call a professional, like me.
- Spelling mistakes – quick trip to the round file for your release.
- Lack of content – Newspapers reject about 10 to 20 per cent of all press release submissions because they lack content. Answer all the "W" questions – who, what, where, when, why and how, (and why should anyone care?)to ensure a complete press release.
- Press releases that scream BUY ME! Or, AREN'T WE GREAT! – Round file. Do not write your press release like an ad. Journalists don't care about your product/innovation. Your job is to show them why they should. Their job is to relay the news, not to sell anything on your behalf.
Okay, so you've now got the idea, but how to get your release to the media? Attachments? FAXES? Bicycle delivery? (only kidding)
Paste the press release into the body of the email. Do not send attachments. Media don't like it and often won't open them.
Have a good email subject line. This is not the same thing as your headline. Make sure core message is at the front so it doesn't get cut off by mobile devices. First 40 or 50 characters are critical. Blogger Brian Clark of Copy blogger www.copyblogger.com uses this checklist:
· Useful
· Ultra-specific
· Unique
· Urgent (caveat: if every message from you is urgent, none is).
· (One study actually says long subject lines work well, short subject lines work well, but medium ones don't.)
Watch the "from" line. Use your company or org name, not your own (unless you are famous, and/or highly trusted.) I'll dump an email from Susan Smith right into the round file unless I know Susan Smith and what she represents.
Once you've earned trust, then this all reverses. Your target audience will open the email because it's from you, and they have learned that your information always has value.

Giants & Patriots Fans Brawl Outside MetLife Stadium (Video)
by: Darrelle Lincoln On Tuesday, September 6, 2016
The talk during and after the New York Giants & New England Patriots preseason game last week was about QB Tom Brady silently protesting his upcoming suspension by removing the NFL decal from his helmet. That was the only notable thing about the game…until we see what transpired outside MetLife Stadium.
Watch as a few Giants fans pummel the hell out of some outnumbered Patriots fans. And as always, there's a random screaming woman yelling at the top of her lungs:

Business English:
Our Business English course allows students to acquire knowledge of the English language skills necessary to succeed in business through materials designed to present English language usage in a variety of contexts, including describing products and strategies, conducting meetings and negotiations and travel abroad. Classroom exercises, including examining case studies and taking part in business role-plays allow students the opportunity to develop their confidence in an international business English context
IELTS preparation
Students will receive a comprehensive introduction to the four parts of the Cambridge International English Language Testing System (IELTS) for University entrance, in which learners' key skills of Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking are explored using authentic IELTS materials. Students gain confidence in communicating in both oral and written contexts, including extended speaking on course topics and how to engage in discourse, as well as describing factual information and processes. The skills of reading for gist, skimming, scanning and gleaning meaning from context are practised, and listening skills are improved through exposure to authentic material.
Conversational Fluency
Developing confidence to interact with tutors and peers, and to participate fully in seminars and lectures, is the focus of this part of the course. Fluency is developed through 1-1 and group exercises with a strong emphasis on pronunciation. Audio-visual material and lectures from visiting speakers offer exposure to a variety of spoken English. Students are also offered tuition on improving their presentation skills, essential in academic and professional life.
Reading and Writing for Business Studies
This part of the Business English course is designed specifically to help students with their business studies assignments, utilising a variety of reading texts taken from authentic academic and business sources and offering students the business vocabulary necessary to produce successful assignments. Tuition is given on how to structure and produce business essays and reports for a variety of business studies topics.
A part of our international English courses the English Language for Academic Study courses are designed to provide international students with the language and skills needed in order to be successful in a number of Oxford Business College courses as well as for further and higher education courses.
Our Business English courses here at Oxford aim to develop students' level of general English language, while also providing skills such as the planning and writing of academic texts, understanding lectures and note taking and the preparation and presentation of seminars.
The length of time a student should allow for English language preparation depends on their ability and learning capacity.

Best wishes to all of you, and your families for a healthy and prosperous 2011.
Wear sunscreen.
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2011. I booked a couple of rooms at the Four Seasons in Boston for tomorrow night. Looking forward to all the festivities. I haven't done "first night' in thirty years. But then again, it was my girl friends idea. Why do women always come up with the best ideas?
Enjoy the two zillion people and mud/slush.

I have a 5 pound rib roast (prime rib) and 2 Lobster tails for New Years Eve. Saving myself for a big party at my house the next day for The Rose Bowl.
No party for me, I have to work on New year's Day. Always associated New Year's Day with football but not this year. My boss is from Green Bay and went to Wisconsin so he's really miffed ... that's going to be a good bowl game.
What's so important that you have to work on a Sat./Holiday?
We have an Enterprise Release of UPS.com that goes out at the first of the year. Coincides with rate changes and service offerings that go into effect on January 1 of each year.
Also on the second Saturday of July - have to work that Saturday too.
Usually no problem - this year, New Year's Day is on Saturday. Really not that big a deal anyway ... just got to gripe a little.
Can you have a drink or two while your working? If you can I'll step up and have one for you brother.
LOL ... not at UPS. Drink two for me!
Ill be driving to Wisconsin throught the heart of chicago, on NYE, with my dobermans. To see my grandkids I havent seen since Oct. Reubens, NYE, cheese curds, fresh Lake erie perch on Saturday, and lots of sloppy kisses, and kids crawling oall over us. Cya all in a few, cheers.
I have nine pounds of baby-back ribs for nine people! Can you say 'leftovers'?
Hell, I'll have two for you!
Happy New Year to all!!
Ok it's going to be Blue Moon if you haven't had it you better try it. Great beer
Twelve New York strip steaks
Alaska king crab
Humongous shrimp
Two cases of Blue Moon
One case of Straub
One case Stella Artois
How many people?
(I'll be happy to help with the Blue Moon (no fruit)).
I was at my nephews wedding rehearsal dinner this evening and Straub dark was on tap. I am hoping the the reception hall has it on tap too. It sounds like a good way to ring in the New Year.
Eight great people. It is a great beer no fruit needed just great taste.
When I found that beer I felt like I hit the lotto or publishers clearing house. Truly a great beer.

The dreaded rush hour traffic! With Prince George attending school at Thomas's Battersea, it is something William and Kate will be accustomed and resigned to at this stage. The Duchess was photographed at the wheel of a Range Rover on King's Road this afternoon, likely en route to collect George. Kate wore her hair up and was wrapped up in a dark jacket. There are a couple of additional photos available on the Mail Online.
It's shaping up to be Kate's busiest January yet with less than two weeks to go until the Cambridges' four-day tour of Sweden and Norway. Before that, Kensington Palace announced three engagements for Kate's Calendar next week. Kate will unveil the next phase of Heads Together on Tuesday, 23 January when she visits Roe Green Junior School. During a speech, Kate will launch a new mental health project for young children, in the latest initiative from the campaign spearheaded by the royal trio.
Kensington Palace added:
'Building on the success of the Heads Together campaign, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry are each driving forward a series of programmes to ensure people can get access to the right help, at the right place and at the right time.
For the Duchess of Cambridge, supporting young people was always at the heart of Heads Together, and is a key focus of Her Royal Highness's work at The Royal Foundation.
One in five children will experience a mental health difficulty at least once before the age of 11, and many adults with mental health issues can trace their symptoms back to childhood. In many cases, it is known that children can wait up to 10 years before effective diagnosis or treatment.
Coordinated and financed by the Royal Foundation, this project has been developed by the youth-focussed charity partners of Heads Together; the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, Place2Be and Young Minds. NAHT, the school leaders' association, has been engaged in developing the initiative with guidance from Centre for Mental Health.'
I'm looking forward to hearing the full details of the programme on Tuesday and to see the direction Heads Together will take for 2018.
On Wednesday, 24 January Kate has two engagements focused on perinatal services and maternal mental health - a key area of focus for her recently. Kate will visit the Maurice Wohl Clinical Neuroscience Institute to receive a briefing on its work in perinatal research before meeting with senior academics conducting research in perinatal psychiatry.
The Duchess will then visit the Mother and Baby Unit at Bethlem Royal Hospital, part of South London Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. The unit specialises in the treatment of antenatal and postnatal mental health illnesses including postnatal depression and post-partum psychosis. Kate will will have the chance to visit the unit's nursery area and meet with several patients who are currently undergoing treatment. The Duchess will also visit the video therapy room where she will be shown videos of mother-baby interactions used as therapeutic tool in the unit.
Best Evening Dress of 2017
Also tonight, we're asking you to vote for Kate's Best Evening Dress of 2017. There's a wide selection of options in the poll, from a flowing off-the-shoulder number to knee-length fit and flare styles.
First up, it's the shimmering Erdem Rhona Dress Kate wore for the UK-India Year of Culture Reception in February. The midi-length dress features a round neckline, long semi-sheer sleeves, pleated bodice, hidden back zip and is made in the UK. The fabric is a metallic lace in silver.
First up, it's the shimmering Erdem Rhona Dress Kate wore for the UK-India Year of Culture Reception in February. The midi-length dress features a round neckline, long semi-sheer sleeves, pleated bodice, hidden back zip and is made in the UK. The fabric is a metallic lace in silver.
Kate was Paris chic in a bespoke black McQueen dress for a reception at the British Embassy in March.
In April, ahead of Pippa's wedding, William and Kate were photographed arriving at Pippa and James Matthews' Kensington home for dinner with the groom's parents David and Jane Matthews. Kate wore the Somerset by Alice Temperley Peony Off-the-Shoulder dress.
The Duchess attended the opening night of 42nd Street wearing the Marchesa Notte Embellished Tulle Dress. The garment is detailed with tactile lattice and rosette motifs. Partially lined to create a sweetheart neckline, the fit-and-flare design has flexible boning and a defined bead and crystal-embellished waist.
For a visit to the Natural History Museum, Kate chose the lovely Preen by Thornton Bregazzi Everly Dress.
The Duchess donned a decidedly edgy creation by Polish designer Gosia Baczynska for the couple's first evening in Warsaw. The black and white dress features a plunging neckline and leaf embellishment at the waist. It was seen as quite the departure from Kate's usual style; I'll be interested to see how it fares in the poll!
Lady in Red Kate opted for a red McQueen dress for the Queen's Birthday Party in Berlin. Cut from cotton and silk-blend chiffon with a crinkled finish, this vivid red dress is shirred along the off-the-shoulder neckline and waist. The cotton and silk-blend crinkled-chiffon maxi dress was a very fresh choice for Kate.
For a reception in the vintage mirrored hall of Clärchens Ballhaus, Kate selected the 'Wild Sparrow Dress' by German designer Markus Lupfer. Again, a different look for the Duchess which she pulled off with aplomb.
Kate marked World Mental Health Day in the Temperley London Eclipse Lace Collar Dress. The piece is made from corded lace and has black velvet trims and a pleated skirt spliced with cotton-voile panels. The piece is from the Autumn '17 collection; inspired by Elizabethan and Baroque portraits of ladies wearing high necklines and ruffles.
And for the Kensington Palace staff Christmas party and a festive showing of The Nutcracker at the Royal Opera House, the Duchess sported the Petal Print McQueen Dress. The $2,045 garment is described as an "oversized mini dress in 100% silk crepe de chine in an all-over petal print. Featuring soft gathering on shoulder, three-quarter length sleeve with ruffled cuff and an asymmetrical ruffle detail on the hem. Finished with keyhole button fastening at the back of the neck".
The results of all the polls will be revealed in our 'Kate Fashion Awards' post later this month. I'm hoping to hold several more polls before then!
Have a great weekend!

SWCK files nationwide race and gender discrimination class action against Best Buy.
|Call us at (800) 689-0024
or Inquire Online »
Women and Minority Employees Charge Best Buy with Employment Discrimination in Federal Court; Class Action Lawsuit Filed against National Electronics Retailer that Tells Women Employees, �Girls Can't Sell�
San Francisco, CA --- December 8, 2005--In the midst of its heaviest sales season of the year, Best Buy, a multi-billion dollar national electronics chain, is being charged with violating federal and state laws against race and sex discrimination in employment.
Claiming that women and minorities, specifically African Americans and Latinos, are paid less than white males, denied promotions, and assigned to less desirable positions, current and former employees of Best Buy today (December 8, 2005) filed a federal class action civil rights lawsuit, Holloway et al. v. Best Buy Co, Inc., this morning in U. S. District Court in San Francisco. Plaintiffs are represented by attorneys from Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP and Schneider Wallace Cottrell Konecky LLP.
"Best Buy is touting its modern, high-tech products for customers this holiday season. The company's views of women and minority employees, however, remain outdated and obsolete," said attorney Bill Lann Lee of Lieff Cabraser. Lee is the former Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights in the U.S. Department of Justice.
"This company operates through a corporate culture of racial and gender stereotypes," stated Todd Schneider of Schneider Wallace Cottrell Konecky LLP. "Best Buy enforces a nationwide policy that results in the preference of white male employees in hiring and for desirable job assignments. The low number of women and minorities employed by Best Buy sets it apart from other large retailers."
As an example of the corporate culture of stereotyping, the lawsuit describes how Best Buy's policy of "segmentation" requires managers and salespeople to target one of four composite customer types, all white, and only one female. These are: "Barry," a male with a six-figure income who purchases what he wants regardless of cost; "Ray," a male who likes electronic gadgets but may not always be able to afford what he wants; or "Buzz," a young male interested in gaming and playstations who makes small purchases. The only female customer to whom Best Buy markets confirms gender stereotypes: "Jill" is "Barry's" wife -- a stay-at-home soccer mom.
Vallejo resident Jasmen Holloway, 22, worked at the Marin City Best Buy from January 2001 until August 2005. "After I had worked there for more than four years, I was interviewed for a promotion and requested a pay increase. The promotion was given to a white man with less experience than me. I was refused the raise because they said that I had reached the maximum salary cap for my position -- but I later learned that less experienced, white male employees with fewer qualifications were paid more than I was."
"I was angry at the way that I and other minorities in the store were treated," added Holloway, who is African American. "When I complained to the human resources department, they did nothing -- so I filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission."
Cheryl Chappel, 40, currently an Administrative Senior at the Mira Mesa Best Buy, was passed over for promotion in favor of a part-time male employee, despite Chappel's excellent performance reviews and more extensive experience. Best Buy managers told her she was not promoted to operations supervisor because it was "a man thing," and that there were few women on the sales floor because "girls can't sell."
Chappel, who has also worked at the Best Buy in Chico, was consistently paid less than male employees in comparable positions at both sites. When she realized this was a pattern for women employees, she filed a charge against Best Buy with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
Additional plaintiffs include another woman from the Chico store and three African American male employees from the Marin City store who were paid less, denied promotions, assigned fewer scheduled hours and received unequal job assignments and unequal training opportunities than white males. The men were refused sales jobs, even though they had prior experience in cell phone and electronics sales. One African American employee was awarded store MVP, yet nevertheless received lower pay than white employees in comparable jobs.
The lawsuit charges that Best Buy recruits, hires and maintains a disproportionately white and male sales force from which it then promotes a disproportionately white male management force. Nationwide, more than 80% of store managers, the top job in a store, are white men, less than 10% are women, and less than 10% are African-American or Latino. "Qualified women and minority applicants are turned away," charged Lee, "and even when the company does hire them, it generally does not permit them to work on the sales floor -- the pathway to promotion. Rather they are segregated to the stock room, cashier stations, and minor sales positions."
"Our plaintiffs' experiences are not isolated examples of employment practices or individual decisions," added attorney Schneider. "On the contrary, they are representative of Best Buy's systematic discrimination against women, African Americans and Latinos."
The lawsuit charges that Best Buy is violating federal and state civil rights laws prohibiting employment discrimination based on race or gender. The suit is seeking an injunction against Best Buy's discriminatory practices and the institution of company programs to ensure equal employment opportunities for women and people of color. In addition, the suit is seeking back pay for all plaintiffs.
Best Buy Company, Inc., a Minnesota-based corporation specializing in consumer electronics, operates 679 retail stores throughout the United States and has approximately 107,000 employees. Over 10% of its stores are in California. Its revenue in 2005 totaled $27.4 billion

I came across Kishi Bashi's Tiny Desk Concert (warning: you may spend hours watching their videos) while I was feeling tired and cranky. After watching it, I felt instantly better. And suddenly wanted to wear an untied bow tie.
I'd describe Kishi Bashi's music as restorative. My immediate reaction to him is, "Yay! People like this exist in the world!"
It's the music I could imagine played at the end of an epic film, when the heroes return to their village for a celebration (a la the Ewok Village or the Shire).
Listeners might expect an Andrew Bird-like sound from Kishi Bashi (whose name is actually Kaoru Ishibashi)–though Bird makes some glorious layery-violin music, their songs certainly don't sound very similar. Kishi Bashi's seem a bit more nebulous and unstable (in the best way possible)–his sounds stretch and collide and unravel.
Weary listeners, behold (behear?) and rejoice. And then marvel at his music video for "I Am The Antichrist To You," animated by Anthony Scott (read more about the video at Huffington Post).
In these interludes, poet and singer-songwriter Hannah Stephenson invites you to eavesdrop on the music bouncing around her brain. She'd love to hear your thoughts, your inner soundtrack, and what band inspired that shrine in your bedroom.

All about Backstory
We've discussed several elements to creating great characters, everything from the elements to creating believable characters to character arcs. And I suspect that many of you have read through those posts wondering why I haven't yet mentioned backstory. Backstory is often where some of you start when it comes to creating your characters, it's how they become real to you, and that's great, you just need to make sure that all of that great backstory you came up with makes sense with their GMCs and character arcs. This is why I do backstory last, sometimes after the first draft of the book. Oh I'll know a little bit, enough to get by, but mostly I just figure it out as I go along, or rather I make it up as needed.
Five myths you don't have to believe:
MYTH 1: My characters come to me with a full history.
MYTH 2: Once my character has a backstory, it can't change.
MYTH 3: I should know everything about my character before I start writing.
MYTH 4: The best way to learn about my character is to fill out a 16-page character interview.
MYTH 5: A character is what his backstory makes him.
I know I've said it before, but it bears repeating, these people aren't real. I know they often feel that way, and that is a good thing, but you also need to remind yourself that they're fiction because it gives you permission to be more flexible with your story elements. You can change things around to fit your story and to make things stronger and better.
Okay so what is backstory, well, I believe it's the pertinent events from your character's past that cause, create or complicate their goals, motivations and/or conflicts.
So what does this new definition mean? It means that you, the author, and the reader only need to know the events that are relevant to the action of your story. You must change the way you see your characters and be willing to change or create what is necessary for the story you're telling. You must be willing to sacrifice something if it is not needed or does not enhance your book.
When coming up with backstory I always consider five key questions.
QUESTION 1: What incident or incidents in your character's past motivates or explains their external goal?
QUESTION 2: What incident or incidents in your character's past motivates or explains their subconscious need?
QUESTION 3: What incident or incidents in your character's have contributed or created their patterns of behavior?
QUESTION 4: What incident or incidents in your character's past caused their error in thinking?
QUESTION 5: If your characters have a past together, what was it?
And then finally there are three things you need to remember about backstory, it needs to be relevant to the plot, it should be very specific and use the rule of three. This is a litmus test to see if you have enough to fully motivate your characters. You want enough events in your character's past for their error in thinking to be believable. For example, if the hero was betrayed by his mother, that only may not be enough for him to believe all women are evil. He has to have met other women in his life who have reinforced this belief.
Next up you should consider the 3 F's, fears, flaws and foundations. Think about the character you've built using the tools we've already talked about, now decide on a fear for that character. Like the heroine who doesn't trust herself, perhaps a fear for her is that if she makes any big decisions for herself she'll end up hurting someone else or hurting herself or she'll make a fool of herself or maybe she's just afraid to speak in public. Just an added element you can use in a scene or two to make her all the more real for us, afterall we all have fears that we deal with. And we writers I think have a double dose of fear than regular people otherwise we wouldn't be so damn neurotic. Now think of a flaw or two you can give your character, this works really well too if you can make that flaw the counterside of a strength. For example if your hero is loyal, he can be loyal to a fault, that loyalty can get him into trouble when he makes a business deal with his best friend and then his best friend borrows money from the wrong people and now the hero has a bounty on his head by the local mafia. Foundations is simply beliefs and values, things your character stands for. Now again you don't want to just randomly tack things on to them. Think of foundations in terms of clichés if that helps you, beliefs like money doesn't grow on trees, home is where the heart is, your past can never catch up with you, things like that. If you give you heroine a foundation that she believes family is important above all things, but the book takes place in the middle of the ocean where it's just her and the hero and a mysterious villain then that family thing probably isn't going to matter much to the book. Unless she's trying to get back to save her son. So make the foundation matter.

The trees removed from your garden can have a use other than woodchip and firewood.
Often trees are removed because they are dangerous, or because of a dispute with neighbours, not because you want them gone, by turning them into a piece of rustic furniture for your garden not only do you give the tree a purpose, you also gain a piece of furniture that is priced competitively with other garden furniture, and yet more personal to you.
Or if this is out of your budget, or the tree isn't big enough

A Pink Lemonade Tutorial: Step By Step of how to make the Very Vintage Spherical Ornament
Good Morning!!! I am back today to show you the step by step on how I made my Very Vintage Spherical Ornament.
1 – First you will need the stamps you wish to work with(I am using Angelic by Layers Of Color), a good ink pad (I am using Tsukineko's Olympia GreenVersaFine because it really lends to crisp images & dries quickly), and a piece of cardstock that is 6″x12″
2 – Stamp with the largest stamp you are going to use first.
3 – Fill in any bare spots using a smaller image in the set.
4 – Cut the entire stamped panel into 1″x6″ strips
5 – Next you will need an ink sweeper& Brilliance ink in Chocolate
6 – Begin to sponge all edges of the stamped side of each strip.
7 – Flip the strips over and apply a bit of color to the blank side of each strip.
8 – Before putting the ink and ink sweeper away, sponge some ink onto Layers Of Color new Angel Twine to give it a vintage look.
9 – Punch a hole about 1/2″ in from each end.
10 – Thread the altered Angel's Twine through the eye of a large embroidery needle. Tie the crystal to the end of the twine.
11 – Place the needle through the entire stack of strips going from the stamped side to the blank side, this will be the bottom of your ornament.
12 – Place the needle through the entire stack of strips going from the blank side to the stamped side, this will be the top of your ornament.
13 – Pull the strips into a "U" shape and tie a length of wide organdy ribbon through a knot at the top of the ornament.
14 – Tie the twine into a loop at the top of the ornament, making the knot as close as possible to the ribbon knot.
15 – Tie the length of ribbon into a full pretty bow.
16 – Carefully heat the ribbon to create more of the aged vintage feel. WARNING: The heat tool is extremely HOT so becareful not to over heat and melt the ribbon or to catch it on fire. Go in small short applications of heat and pull the tool away as soon as you see the ribbon begin to crumple.
17 – Here you can see the difference in the two ribbon tails. The left has been heated, the right has not.
18 – Finish heating the second ribbon tail as well as the bow EVER SO SLIGHTLY to create the final effect.
19 – Begin to fan out the strips to create the spherical look of this paper strip ornament.
TADA!!! The finished project. I certainly hope you have enjoyed today's tutorial! Leave a comment below to win todays giveaway!!
Stamps: Layers of Color – Angelic
Inks: Tsukineko – Imperial Green VeraFine, Chocolate Brilliance
Embellishments: Chandelier Crystal, Angel Twine (Layers of Color) & 5/8th wide Organdy Ribbon

Culture warriors, pseudo-historians and opportunistic politicians have spent the last several decades peddling the myth that America was founded as a "Christian nation."
The propaganda appears to be working.
A majority of the American people (51 percent) believes that the U.S. Constitution establishes a Christian nation, according to the State of the First Amendment survey released last month by the First Amendment Center.

No Metal Arms Sequel
According to an e-mail from developer Swingin' Apes, a sequel is not planned for the critically-acclaimed Metal Arms: A Glitch In The System. Arguably one of the more overlooked titles from last year's holiday season, poor sales were cited as the primary reason Vivendi-Universal opted to not pursue the franchise any further at this time.

Nigerian Songs Movies - Stepping Up The Top quality Game
They did not consider the culture of the individuals into consideration. The Roman Catholics demanded monogamy from their converts, but they did not display how the unwelcome wives could be resettled. Christianity was portrayed as a European invention. Usry and Keener (1996) provocatively titled their textual content Black man's religion: can Christianity be Afrocentric? It is so titled, not of system to imply that non-Blacks are excluded, but to position out that biblical Christianity is a Black religion as much as a white 1. The problem of slavishly accepting or instead adopting any point from the west need to be treated with caution. The post, Halloween in a cross-cultural point of view, is a passionate account of the vulnerability of young children which the Harry Porter collection is using benefit of. The new repacking of witchcraft in a fictitious novel is attractive to children (and grown ups) given that it is consumer friendly.
Schreiter (1985) presents an excellent and very relevant textual content that evidently teaches how one can comprehend society so that the gospel information takes root. Ownership of the Bible must be presented to a neighborhood of religion in a provided spot. For instance, an Igbo and by extension, an African, will evidently comprehend the humiliation Christ went through considering that the writer obviously expresses that to humiliate someone who is either common or abundant is worse than to eliminate him, a information which the African understands. The cultural sensitivity of Dan Wooding in Blind faith in cross-cultural point of view, Component one, enabled him to reasonably set up intercultural rapport in the men's breakfast meeting at the Pasadena First Church of the Nazarene. In responding to this invitation and willingly supplying generously, an person ultimately acquired five fold just out of his blind religion fairly than a exhibit of supernatural acts like speaking in tongues.
Boer (2003) identifies two main troubles which are affecting the Nigerian church "the 1st is corruption which has penetrated each amount of culture..." (Boer 2003, 31). A single have to however observe that corruption is an problem dealing with each creating and created nations. The church continues to be guilty of many of the types of corruption which characterize the society as a total, an problem that shocked Dr. Eze as he observes in his post Worldview problems on corruption.... He realistically argues nonetheless that "the survey of CPI (Corruption Perceptions Index) on the stages of corruption in international locations they researched is not primarily based on tough empirical information... (but) on the encounter and perceptions of individuals who are most right confronted with the realities of corruption" (Eze 2004, 1).
The 2nd issue experiencing Christian spirituality according to Boer is Islam. The subject matter of his book Nigeria's 10 years of blood, vol.1 is Christian-Muslim relations. "If corruption has demonized Nigeria", Boer argues "Christian-Muslim relations have bedeviled it" (Boer 2003, 1). He steers Christianity and Islam into positive channels for national creating and suspects that there is a fantastic danger that Nigerians will develop fatigued of spiritual riots and either return to a sanitized type of classic religion or to an African variation of secularism. Every Christian should go through his textual content and observe that Christians in western nations are now fighting the extremely secularism they produced by way of their infighting.

I like it too, but I would change the bottom of the /J and y/ probably the /j/ too. I would use the bottom of the /l,e,t/ for those later. Is the left horizontal bar of the /t/ would be to thin or too short? Hard to comment more with this small sample.

'Our aims are to support people who are struggling with life, particularly when this is due to homelessness, a premature bereavement or the challenges of adolescence'
We have updated our aims to include the support of those struggling with the challenges of adolescence.
The Good Grief Project, which began as a project to make a documentary film about the grief of bereaved parents and the continuing bonds they have with their dead child, has now become a charity. Their mission is to support families grieving after the untimely death of a loved one, particularly the death of a child and to promote an understanding of what it means to grieve.
Meanwhile the film now named 'A Love That Never Dies' is due for its first public screening on 16th March.
Read all about the new charity
Ameca - Alex's Medical & Educational Clinic in Africa - has almost completed the building of their new clinic in Chilaweni, near Blantyre in Malawi
It is due to be officially opened on 8th May 2017.

An astounding percentage of folks I've spoken with on the topic of long distance relationships have declared that such relationships are ultimately destined to fail, and fail gloriously at that. Some months ago, I would have agreed with each and every one of them rather emphatically, but at present I believe the long distance relationship, while by no means simple and easy, doesn't have to be a complete, fiery, zeppelin wreck. It can work, it really can, if looked at and treated the correct way.
Some years ago, I was in a very, very serious relationship. Bad luck came our way and we were faced with a year of spatial separation, our cities almost 14 hours apart by train or bus (the plane option was expensive). We vowed to make it work, but as you, gentle reader, know, it went south real fast. The less happy we were, the more we tried to make it work. She cheated; I turned into a dithering wreck, etc. All of it could have been avoided right from the start, but not necessarily by breaking it off completely (although in that situation, it would have been the best idea). There are procedures we could have followed to avoid most of the sitcom-worthy drama.
To me, the vital facet of the long distance relationship is terminology. This sort of relationship shouldn't be treated the same way as one in which space is not an issue. No matter how strong the connection, special care should be taken to define the relationship by its spatial parameters. This is to say, a distance relationship should have some level of openness, or a touch of casualness, because face it, we're all only human and part of our chemical makeup is carnal in nature. I'm not saying have a roster of sex partners on the side, but be willing to forgive each other in the case of a casual encounter on the side. If the emotional connection is strong, then you don't have to be threatened by sex, unless your partner in question is deliberately harboring many other relationships and not being honest about them.
And that's another thing. Always be willing to face the hard truths; you have to be honest with your mate, especially in a distance relationship. A lot of time may be spent worrying about the actions of the other person, and openness and honesty at least mean you know what's going on. Not every event needs to be spoken of, but don't hide tons and tons of information from the nervous imagination of a partner. Be emotionally open to the Skype face on your screen, and try to relax. If things seem to be tense, you have to talk about it, or that tension can build and build and explode.
The most important thing to remember is to be realistic. Without the presence of physical bodies, the distance relationship will always have limitations. And that's okay, as long as you both admit that to one another. There is a point where too much spoken compensation for that can be stressful. Again, try to relax and enjoy your partner's company, knowing that on the other side of that wifi connection is an independent person who is leading their own life. Trust in the emotional chemistry and be realistic about trying to control what's going on outside the relationship. Again, don't go on a mad sexing spree, that's not what my idea of freedom actually means.
Currently, I am in a distance relationship of my own. Before this, I was ardently against getting myself into a situation like this ever again, but circumstances were out of my control this time. The girl I'm dating at present had separate plans to move before we encountered one another, and no matter how logically unintelligent, we decided to become romantically entangled. But as opposed to my catastrophe some years back, this distance relationship is a realistic endeavor. We speak a lot, and are affectionate, but know that until we are physically together, we have to be careful of how we define the relationship. And you'll think I'm being over-romantic about this in particular, but her presence in my mind is extremely satisfying; I think when something is overbearing, it causes one or both parties to retreat in some way, and we both watch for those signs.
If you find yourself in a distance relationship, don't let it get out of hand. Talk to your partner, let him or know that there are limitations and rules have to be set (not, like, impossible mandates, but a relaxed code of conduct that permits independence while also keeping an emotional connection alive and strong). Too much stress can be a killer, so never keep stuff bottled up on one end of the relationship, because there is no physical decompression in sight. It's scary, but you have to be even more open conversationally than in a non-distance relationship.
Ultimately, like any relationship, it's a give and take, an equal exchange, and something to be enjoyed. Even though it's difficult, it's damn well worth it.

It is always an option, of course, especially for those of us who are really concerned about being individuals, and not influenced by others' fashions and trends to stick to their credo and just not care about brands. Imagine what it might do to big business if we started buying products solely on their quality, usefulness to us, or ethical manufacture rather than brand names alone!

On 4 Apr 2015, the HMCS Annapolis officially ended its life on the surface and became BC's latest planned artificial reef! The process wasn't without difficulty though. In addition to the regular process of cleaning the wreck and locating a site to sink it, there was a last minute attempt by residents near where the ship was to go down to stop the operation. Although done on "environmental" grounds, it was a shallowly concealed NIMBY situation.[1] The judge ultimately sided with the ARSBC and Squamish First Nation, and the ship was sunk shortly thereafter. the sinking went according to plan, with the ship coming to rest upright and correct.
video by Patrick Grundle, taken with Ocean Pro Divers
The HMCS Annapolis is the latest in a series of ex-Royal Canadian Navy vessels to be sent to the briny deep by the ARSBC, and has already begun to attract the attention of divers in BC. As it's the end of the good diving season in BC (vis is already going to the dogs), many dive groups and charters are planning to hit the wreck as soon as next weekend! The site has been cleared of banners and checked over by safety divers, and the first open weekend is looking like it's going to be crowded. The site itself is in the Halkett Bay Provincial Park, off of Gambier Island in Howe Sound. [2][3] The bay suffered serious ecological damage owing to its use as a log boom storage location, so the addition of an artificial reef will be key to revitalizing the area. It's sinking was publicly supported by the Squamish First Nation as well, which is a serious step in the right direction for future projects of this sort.
The site has already been depth profiled by Russell Clark at Cool Dives, and a basic image was released via their Facebook page. Based on this profile, Cold Water Diver has put together a depth profile based on information available that is good for both metric divers and imperial divers! It also includes a bit more information about the dive and the HMCS Annapolis itself. Use the image below or download the pdf of the HMCS Annapolis Depth Profile!
The HMCS Annapolis is a penetration friendly wreck, in a reportedly low current area. It's a boat dive, so a charter or private boat is the only way to access it. The ship is at a maximum depth of 33.5 metres (110′), making it accessible by divers with at least their Advanced Open Water certification owing to the depth. The Okanagan Dive Club, headed by Kelowna Divers, will be headed to this new site this year. Fingers crossed I will be on that dive trip! There is also footage ready to go from the site itself, giving us an idea about how diving there will be!

(077) The Gospel of John 22: Worship & Idolatry
The Gospel of John XXII:
Worship & Idolatry
John 12:1-8
June 28, 2009
· 028 (p2), 35 & 38 in Leftovers
· My journal
· Matt 26:6ff, Mark 14:3ff, Luke 7:37ff and 10:38ff
• Mary displayed an extravagant devotion to Jesus by anointing him with perfume worth $50,000 (one year's wages).
• We are worshipers by nature. We will glorify, adore, be devoted to something, either God or else lesser things.
• As God is the source of all that is good and right, we find that we are most happy and fulfilled when we pursue him.
• We become like what we worship.
• Both bad things (like Judas' greed) and good things (like caring for the poor) can become idols.
• Inspire the church to become increasingly more passionate in their pursuit of God above all this world has to offer.
Scripture reading: John 12:1-8
We are back in John – we should never stray too far from Jesus, from this actual words and presence.
John is the most theological of the Gospels, offering not just stories of Jesus life but also rich, philosophical teachings. It is the both the simplest and the most complex. Its purpose:
John 20:31 31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
That's the purpose of our series. Don't think "may have life" means "get saved." That is the starting point, not the finish line. Without the cross, we would be separated from God, but now the Christian life is a journey of finding "abundant life."
· My purpose is that we all find more abundant life.
Rhetorical function vrs. images
There are two ways to look at today's passage:
1. Rhetorical function (it's role in the larger story)
John is setting the stage for Jesus' death, not as a victim, but a willing sacrifice, interpreting everything through his goal. In Matthew and Mark, it sets the stage for Judas' betrayal.
2. A picture of worship and devotion
This story struck a chord in the early church, developing a life of its own and appearing in all the Gospels.
The soul of this story is the beautiful picture Mary's love and devotion to Jesus. At its core it is a contrast Mary's faithfulness and Judas' faithlessness, between her worship and his idolatry.
· Idolatry seems a strange word for it, not theft or greed, but we'll talk about that later.
Worshiping Jesus
It is that picture that we will focus on today. This sermon is a study of worship, but more than a study, it is a call to passionately love Jesus like Mary did, to desire God as more than all the lesser joys we seek.
· We will begin by looking worship and idolatry, then worship as God's gift to us, not our gift to him.
Prayer: Find your life in John, and learn from Mary about worship. Help us confront our own idols.
What is worship? (Indebted to Driscoll's sermon on worship)
Worship is not the songs we sing before and after the sermon. As a person who does not "get into" singing, this offer a little comfort. I am not off the hook – songs inspire worship.
· This isn't a worship service, it's "worship training service."
What is worship? To love and devote ourselves to something we believe to be of surpassing value. It means to center your life around something, making sacrifices for it.
Q Do you see how this is not a "worship service"?
Worship means around the clock, 24/7 devotion and obedience to God, not just 1½ hours once a week. If it doesn't happen the other 166.5 hours, it is not worship, any more that a husband that is faithful 98% of the time is concerned faithful.
· It is not without reason that adultery is a frequent metaphor for idolatry – God wants all of us.
The best we can do is encourage each other to wholehearted devotion God, to remind each other that he is the very best thing, that he is worthy of our full devotion and obedience.
Mary's worship
The first time we hear of Mary, it is of her devotion to Jesus:
Luke 10:38-42 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!" 41 "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."
Her love and devotion to Jesus is clear. But even still, this story represents not only love but also sacrifice.
John 12:3 3 Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
· The feet were dirtiest body part body, lowest servant washed.
· A woman's hair was her glory (1 Cor. 11:15), typically hidden.
But this also represents a significant sacrifice.
· Nard was an extract of this plant, imported from India.
· The perfume cost a year's wages, felt value of $50,000.
That's a lot of money – the only way an ordinary family would have this much was a dowry, without which a woman couldn't get married.
Again, worship is to love and devote ourselves to something we believe to be of surpassing value, to make sacrifices for it, as Mary devoted herself to Jesus.
We are made to worship
The important point is that our choice is not whether or not to worship, but what we will worship. We are made to worship and we will worship something.
· The reason worship is part of our nature is that we are made in God's image and he is full of worship.
Does that seem odd to say? God is Trinity, three parts and within the Trinity there is an outpouring of love, devotion, and honor. We see this in the way Jesus talks about the Father.
· The Shack gives a great representation of this.
Idolatry = Worshiping the wrong things
We will pour ourselves into someone or something, and the only one worthy of receiving our worship is God. And when we worship him we find our highest joy.
But ever since the fall we tend to worship the wrong things, which is idolatry. We think of idolatry as offering sacrifices to little tiki idols, but it simply means to pour yourself into something other than God.
"Bad" idols
Our idols can be something bad, as with Judas:
John 12:4-6 4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, 5 "Why wasn't this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year's wages." 6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.
Money was Judas' idol. In stark contrast to Mary, he worshipped money more than Jesus. He served it and sacrificed to it, sacrificing his integrity, his friends, and his Lord.
· Some think Judas had noble motives, but it was the money.
Idols corrupt us! What depths of depravity must have been in Judas, to be walking with the very image of God's righteousness yet he still so hardened his heart to steal and betray.
"Good" idols
But an idol can also be good things, placed above God.
John 12:7-8 7 "Leave her alone," Jesus replied. "It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. 8 You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me."
Even though he knew Judas' heart, Jesus still contradicted the point about giving to the poor. In essence he is saying that loving him is more important than giving to the poor. This is a bigger point than it seems:
· Many (most?) of our idols are good things out of proportion.
"You take a good thing, make it a god things, and that's a bad thing." (Mark Driscoll).
Looking at my own life, I can see many times I have justified an idol because it was a "good thing," such as shortchanging my time with God for the sake of my family (it would be better to shortchange my personal time).
· CS Lewis: When a good thing becomes a god, it becomes a demon.
When we worship idol, we find that even the best thing becomes corrupted into a perversion. All of the joys of this life come from God and only remain joys so long as they are under him.
Finding our idols
Knowing that idols can be anything that take our devotion away from God, good or bad, let's look at what our idols are:
Q Deep down in my heart who/what do I love, cherish, treasure, long for the most?
Q Who/what do I make sacrifices for?
Q Where do I give the firstfruits of your wealth?
Q Where do I give the firstfruits of your time?
Q Who/what is my Lord, ruling my life and determining how I live?
Q Who/what will I sin for? (When we sin, we worship an idol.)
Q Who/what is my Judge I am living to earn the approval of?
Q Where do I run for comfort (e.g. the fridge, alcohol, the television, a person, a place, a hobby)?
Q Who/what makes me happiest?
Our highest joy
It is that last question that for me is heart of this sermon. Who brings you the most joy in life? It is clear from every story we have of Mary that Jesus brought her the most joy.
· Another way to define worship is that which you take the highest joy in.
· I don't like that definition because it lays my soul bare and strips away the ways I hide my idolatry.
Many of you can perhaps easily say "God," but for me it has not been that easy. God works with us all in his time on various things, and for me the past several months has been finding my highest joy in God, giving him my greatest devotion.
At the conference I went to, the central thing God challenged me on was this question: Is it evident that I love and desire God more passionately than anything else, even the gifts he gives?
The honest answer is "no" and God's current journey for me is focusing my life to where he is my highest joy, the thing I desire more than anything.
· It is not wrong to find joy in other things, but where is my highest joy?
I am starting to refer to these other things as little joys, the beauty of the sunset, my wife, my girls, laughter with friends, shooting Matt in paintball. All of these little joys are reflections of the joy that should send our eyes back to him.
God is the only one worth pouring our lives into, and when we give ourselves to him, we get back all of the little joy, but in their proper place.
· There is nothing wrong with me enjoying a dessert that Marilyn makes, but if I enjoy it more than her, there is a problem.
Our highest duty and greatest joy
We were made and chosen for the purpose of praising God. He is very intent on making an everlasting name for himself.
1 Peter 2:9 9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Is it strange to think of God welcoming, demanding praise? Is he egotistical? Why is he against idolatry? Why can he be jealous?
God will not share his glory with anything else because he's the only things worthy of worship. Anything else falls short, leaves us disappointed, and steals us from the real thing.
· What would we say if our children were to date a complete loser, who used them, and didn't love them?
· "You can do so much better!"
God delights in our worship not because he needs it or it adds to him, but because we need it. We'll worship something, either him who is light, good and joy or idols that are cruel masters.
Our God is a happy God, the source of all joy, and when God calls us to worship him, he is calling us to delight in him, to find that in him our joy.
· Worship is God's gift to us, not ours to him.
Q What is your highest joy?
My hope is that the Holy Spirit will take these feeble words and build in you a passion for God, a desire for him above all else, as he is just beginning to do in me.
· In this I am a "co-journeyer" and surpassed by several of you.
Our mission is to "be a Christian community that strives to glorify God and engage our culture" and it is glorifying God that is of supreme importance.
It is my prayer for all of us that we becomes more captivated by God, more enthralled by him, and when that happens we will show the world that he is desirable above all else.
as we sing...
Evaluate yourself, use this time as "worship training," are you making God your highest joy, the center of your life, and the object of your devotion?
May we become more captivated by you, more enthralled by you, and hence show the world that you are desirable above all else.

- Yield
- 6
- for the no-roll pie crust:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 Tbsp. cold milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or canola or grapeseed oil)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- for the corn-tomato filling:
- 3 ears corn, kernels removed
- 2 large tomatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 Tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
- salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a 9-inch pie plate, whisk together flour, cornmeal and salt. Combine milk and oils, and pour into the dry ingredients. Stir with a fork to combine, then use your fingers to work the mixture together until large clumps form and no loose flour remains. Use your fingers to press the crust into place, beginning with the sides and finishing with the bottom; make sure there are no holes or cracks. Bake the pie shell for 10 minutes; remove from oven and let cool. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees. Scatter 1/3 cup of the grated cheddar in the bottom of the pie shell, lay 1/2 of the tomato slices on top of the cheese, then scatter 1/2 of corn kernels over the tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper and 1/2 of the thyme. Repeat with another layer of cheese and vegetables, ending with cheese on top. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and cream; pour this mixture gently over the vegetables. Transfer the pie to the preheated oven (lay a sheet of aluminum foil on the rack to catch any drips), and bake until the cheese is melted and the filling is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes to set the filling before serving.

Job's A Good'un Big Boris Coming From Heresy Miniatures!
August 5, 2014 by brennon
Heresy Miniatures have had their own, well, mascot essentially for a long time and Big Boris is getting a modern re-imagining this year with Job's A Good'un Big Boris, or Boris III!
As you can see he's had a bit of a tweak but still remains the big bald barbarian he always was! He will be a Kickstarter reward for a future venture and this Half-Ogre Half-Giant Barbarian will no doubt be smashing his way onto tabletops in many incarnations.
What do you make of Boris III?
