Designing for MomentumDecember 4, 2014
Momentum is the term I use for when games flow and have a palpable energy at the table. Some games are better designed to produce this than others, typically a major part of it is how well the game communicates the goals of play and gets everyone on board with it, and how well the mechanics match that.
Notably this is how well a game communicates it's Creative Agenda, the process by which it gets there, and often times, the group's individual ability to understand that, fill in any gaps, and do cohesively as one.
Character motivation is an easy way to get momentum – "What does your character want to do?" gives a direction to players. It also tells the GM what to focus conflicts on. These motivations can be hard set (Inspectres- you are a team of ghost busters), it can be player authored (Drifter's Escape – list things your Drifter wants to do/get before leaving town) or it can be from a pick-list (Poison'd – pick Ambitions) etc.
Two key points must be understood for motivation mechanics to work.
First, they must be relevant to immediate play. If your character has motivations that aren't going to show up for another 2 months of play – they effectively do not exist until that time. It's important that at least some of the motivations apply to your character's situation, here, and now. This is both an issue for players and GMs – the players have to pick things that are going to be immediately addressable, the GM has to also include them into scenes and conflicts.
Second, motivations should lead the player characters together. This could be together as a team or a group working towards a common cause, or it must lead them to conflict. Some games do an excellent job of doing both- which creates an amazing tension of characters gauging whether cooperation or conflict is in their best interests. Although a few games out there recommend potentially doing characters' stories in parallel -without necessarily intersecting, I haven't reliably been able to pull it off and don't think it is as reliable of a thing to design for.
Over the last few years some of the more mainstream games have attempted to try to take in motivation mechanics but failing in these regards have basically added another line you fill in on your character sheet and forget about 97% of the time in play.
Conflict Cueing
How does the game produce conflicts in the fiction? How do you know WHEN to add more conflict? I'm using conflict here to mean overarching or recurring issues – a swordfight isn't important, pissing off the Red Sword Clan is (a source of problems > a given set of problems).
It can be player authored (Primetime Adventures – players set scenes), GM authored (Most RPGs, but especially assisted if given good Flags or targets to base conflict on), a result of resolution mechanics ("But only if…" in Polaris and Thou Art But a Warrior) etc.
One of the biggest killers of momentum is either a lack of conflict – literal – as in no stress is upon the characters to do anything, or communicated, as in, why things should be important or why the players themselves should care, is absent. This is the primary reason a lot of Illusionist/railroaded play falls down – in such play the conflict is often artificially stretched out – so you end up with a lot of information withholding and blocking of options – so players either don't know what to do, or don't care because they realize there just isn't a lot to engage with after all.
Pacing Mechanics are pretty excellent and a great way to do things. Either they require the players to push their characters to cause the pacing to advance, or else they put a time limit so the players have to push their characters to achieve goals before the game ends.
These pacing mechanics might be a hard set of sessions like Primetime Adventures "seasons" or it might be a set of conditions such as My Life With Master's scores for the characters.
Pacing mechanics can also force changes in play or focus – Bliss Stage forces players to use Intermission scenes and focus on character relationships.
Rewards are points – advancement, experience, hero points, bonus dice, whatever. Points or bonuses that you can use to improve your choices or odds in play.
Rewards tie tightly to motivations and conflicts (facing them, overcoming them) and serve as a great tool to push momentum. The key point is about whether the rewards are pushing folks in the right directions – you can see games where there's "Get an XP for good roleplaying" and no real direction on what good roleplaying looks like – and all you end up with is most players spinning out.
Rewards are not the only way, though they are extremely reliable for producing momentum. These can be hard set (The 80's Marvel Superheroes game laid out it's Karma system as the code for heroes), they can be tied to player authored Flags, or they can be completely open to judgment by the group (Primetime Adventure's Fan Mail, Tenra Bansho Zero's Aiki).
Avoiding, removing penalties, or being forced to work with limited options because of penalties can drive a good set of momentum. The key point to a good penalty mechanic is that it forces you to make interesting choices (relative to the Creative Agenda/point of the game, etc.).
Just having a penalty that makes you worse at everything doesn't mean much, unless there's choices that come out of it – options to use other means/methods, options which indebt you to others or otherwise affect your motivaitons and character in a larger sense, options which you spend valuable points or resources, options which basically boil down to "Here is a desperate situation I can run or I can risk myself for it." etc.
It's also important to realize some forms of penalties, such as injuries, may in fact, be more of a pacing mechanic – bringing a foreseeable end to a character, or forcing a personality change upon them (Sorcerer's Humanity 0 rewrite rule, for example).
Primetime Adventures
The meta view of making a TV show helps a lot of players really understand to design the situation and their characters to interact with each other, compared to many tabletop RPGs. The Issues mechanic serves as a great Motivation set up, which is followed through with the scene setting rules that pushes players and the GM to focus on those as Conflict sources. The generation of new conflict also occurs in places with the narration trading mechanics. Fanmail serves as a reward that is passed between the group for engaging with all of the above in interesting ways.
The episode/season rules set up a pacing mechanic for the overall campaign, but also in terms of characters' story arcs – when you have more Spotlight you are able to achieve more and narrate more often, when you have less, you often stack up problems and conflicts for later.

Three-piece upper wing... stronger than Babe the OX.
December 29, 2016
Laying the foundation...
I'm not sure what's up with the upper-wing center section. I keep leaving it for other things to do. May be a good thing... since the CAD's aren't the same as the original drawings done by Curtis.
Well, I didn't do any actual work on the upper-wing center section... what I did do was set up the table in the spare room upstairs and looked over the orginal blue prints along with reading the thread in the biplane forum about it.
I think I'm ready to start laying out the pieces... getting the upper wing tank welded up and finishing up and moving onto the rest of the upper wing.
January 9 - 13, 2016
Wrapping my head around it all...
Wow... WOW ! It all started on Monday. I wanted to start diving into the wing center section... start figuring out what needed to be done. A thread on the biplane forum pointed out the CAD for the 3-piece wing was incorrect (lets say that it was pointed out that the sway wires are being shown on the front of the center section instead of the back like all other aerobatic biplanes).
So... I broke out the plans and tried to wrap my head around them. Kinda makes it tough when you need to shuffle a few different plans together. After looking over the plans for a while I had the urgency to see the CADs for the individual parts and pieces (maybe for a more in-depth look?). Thing was... I couldn't find them... for two days. okay... so I find them, make sure that I had them all, then started comparing the smaller CADs to the larger CADs. Found all that I needed to find... Then, looked through that thread on the fourm to see what was wrong and what was right.
After a few nights of what seems like aimlessly wandering around... I still couldn't figure it out (I'm no aerospace engineer and I'm not going to forge ahead into unknown stress territory). Today, Friday, I just about threw in the towel two or three times. The CADs weren't right, I wasn't wrapping my head around what was said on the forum, my Pitts Model 12 plans didn't help any... None of it was helping. Started writing on the forum two times about my decision to revert back to the original one-piece design of the Skybolt. But... I didn't want to give up on it. There was an answer somewhere in that pile of drawings on my card table... I just wasn't seeing it yet.
I dove back into it deciding that all the CADs were wrong (not that they were) and focused on the original plans that Curtis drew up. Looking at it... drawing some sketches on a blank sheet of paper. A little more looking... a little more sketching. It was starting to make sense. After about a half hour I thought I, make that, I had it figured out. Checked the pieces that I had made and the only thing that I need to do is make (4) -36 SL Wire Lugs and (4) -37 SL Wire Lugs.
The problem all along was trying to make the CADs work with the blue prints... and that my good man, ain't gonna work. Thank you annonomous guy (he doesn't want to be known) on the biplane forum that pointed me, and everyeone else, in the right direction with this.
Thinking back over the past week... something inside me wants to just break-out and start doing something with my hands... anything. I've learned a little restraint with the build. Sometimes you just need to sit back... think it through... and then move on. And believe me, some of those "think it through's" miss the spot and you need to re-think it through. All the while... you're not building a DAMN ! thing, thinking you're not getting it done. Ya just gotta accept moments, sometimes days, weeks or months, like these and push through...
I saw this video on Facebook the other day; a speech by Charlie Day, Creator of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". Kinda sums up this struggle, the build... and of course life. The below quote is not verbatim... kind of condensed. You should listen to the entire video for yourself.
"My lesson is this... you cannot let the fear of failure stop you from doing what is going to make you great. You cannot succeed without the risk of failure. Be willing to fail. Let yourself fail. Fail in the way and place where you would want to fail. Fail, pick yourself up and fail again. Because without this struggle, what is your success anyway?" - Charlie Day
January 14 - 19, 2016
Trials and tribulations...
Wrapping my head around it all.
Been basically waisting my time playing with the idea of figuring out the sway wires and how they'll effect the upper former at station. Went about it half-ass at first (the playing part). Not quite sure why...
A day or two of half-ass and then on the third day I decided that maybe it'd be a better idea to located the actual spar, with the two brackets on it, in place and then string the line to see what hits what. It'll also tell me how far into the front pit the sway wires will come. So... on the forth day I jig the spar in place strike my lines and low and behold... the rear sway wire barely misses the former's outside, vertical support. DAMN ! We'll the fishing string that I used barely misses it. The actual wire would be hitting it. The forward line misses everything by a long shot.
Found out that the sway wires will be front and center 4.5inches inside the front pit... and the further you go up the wire... the further it's in the pit. Not so sure if anyone will be very keen on having sway wires that close to them.
From my mock-up I've learned two things; 1. I'll need to cut off and re-locate the outer upper former supports and 2. I just may be constructing a single-seat biplane?.
Here are a few photos...
Time to move the two outer upper former supports.
April 19, 2016
A few parts...
to keep me busy.
WOW ! I never did get very far with the upper wing center section. I was focused on the formers for supporting the sheet metal skin all this time.
I'm still working on that project but have a break waiting on some material. Decided that I would begin making a few pieces that I need for this section.
After a little looking I found the patterns that I had printed out so long ago... glued them onto the piece of metal and began drilling holes. Did NOTHING but drill holes tonight; 1/4inch, 3/8inch, and 1/2inch. Two hours of drilling holes. Now all I need to do is cut the parts out, grind them to size, file and sand smooth... oh yeah, and ream the holes out to size.
April 20, 2016
A few parts...
to keep me busy.
Another step towards completing the lugs... spent the night rough-cutting all eight out of the .190 metal blank. Ground down two to size.
That's it.
April 21, 2016
A few parts...
still keeping me busy.
Another step towards completing the lugs... spent the night grinding all eight to size. Started filing and sanding three of them... each of those close to being finished. Just a few more scratches to file/sand out.
again... That's it. And, "That's it." took a little over two hours.
In the image below... Three right have been filed and sanded up to 180 grit. Need to file a few more of the scratches out and sand up to 220 or maybe 400. The other five still have the marks from the grinder on them.
July 12 - 15, 2016
Way too many lugs...
nineteen and counting.
Not sure what it is about these lugs... tried reaming out the 1/4inch and 3/8inch holes and I'm not doing it... Locking the lug in the vice and using a hand reamer to do the job. The initial bites into the smaller hole (must be because the hole is too small ???) aren't straight and it ends up making the hole over-sized.
Decided to re-make them drilling the hole with the correct size drill bit. No problem... or so I thought. When rough cutting the lugs (before grinding and sanding them to size) I cut a little too close to the line and when I did a test on filing it smooth... the filing took it well within/past the line, so I decided to re-make that one again. Glued the pattern to the .190 material, picked up the 1/2inch drill bit that I had been using. Double-checked the size... WAIT ! this AIN'T 1/2inch. It's slightly smaller ! DAMN ! Picked up the 1/2inch bit and drilled the hole, along with the 1/4inch hole.
okay... I'll try to re-drill all these other ones to 1/2inch. and... it AIN'T workin' ! okay... I have enough material to make a few more and then I'll need to buy more material. First of the third batch... drilled the 1/2inch and the 1/4inch holes. Cut, then grind and file to size. Second of the third batch... it's taking FOREVER for the 1/2inch bit to drill the hole. It's dull... but being the person I am, I am bound and determined to drill this hole. What should have taken ten minutes probably took a good 45 minutes. The rest of the piece was easy-peasy.
Before making the third one, I went out and purchased a new 1/2inch drill bit. The 1/2inch hole for the third of the third batch of lugs took a total of 12 minutes. Yeah... just what I thought. Both holes and cut, grind/file to size took less than 45 minutes. ThankYouVeryMuch...
July 17 - 22, 2016
I've said more...
than enough.
How much more can I say about making the SL lugs ??? Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh !
All I can state is... I drilled the holes to size. Period.
UPS initially directed the shipment wrong somehow and it took a day longer to get the metal for the newest lugs. $27.00 to ship a piece of 9inch x 9inch x .190 material. Somethings wrong there. I'll need to call Aircraft Spruce about it.
Anyways... I've been drilling, cutting and filing my way through the remaining lugs. All I need to do now is sand them smooooooth.
NOTE: There are nine SL lugs shown below. I only need eight; four large and four small. Had the extra large one already glued on the sheet of metal with the holes cut before I realized I didn't need to make it... figured I'd finish it... just for shits and giggles.
wait wait wait wait... I do have something to say. It's not about the lugs, but it has something to do with the two sets of plans for the upper wing center section.
I spent two hours trying to shuffle the original Curtis plans with the new Steen Aero plans. It wasn't working. I finally decided that I would just go with the orginal Curtis plans.
July 23 - August 2, 2016
It's ready...
but am I ?
How much more can I say about making the upper wing center section ???
More questions than answers...
This shuffling stuff (again) is for the birds... Standard plans ? Radial plans ? They're overall pretty much the same... except the sway wires and landing wires. oh.. the Radial plans have a tube for a compression "rib".
It was stressed to me (and you need to make your own call on this) that the sway wires need to be on the back spar in order to transfer the stresses correctly (or something like that). Over the past few weeks I've been fiddling with all of this.
The table is set up. The fittings on the back spar are locked into postion. All I need to do is rise about my fear of making a mistake when drilling those two 3/4inch holes into the back spar.
Images below: Landing wire connect to the back spar only. Table ready for production... back spar locked in upside down with front spar just laying on table. Last image shows the spars locked in the correct postion and a note reminding me that it is being built upside down.
August 4, 6 and 7, 2016
A rollercoaster...
of emotions.
I'm slowly creeping towards having to drill the first hole. It's inevitable... but it seems like I'm just making excuses not to get around to doing it.
Took one entire work session to re-ream the 1/4inch bolt holes that hole that fittings into place on the rear spar for the UWCS. Didn't see that one coming... but I guess I was happy, since it did push back the inevitable.
Needed to make that jig too. The one that I will use to keep the hole going straight through the spar. Worked better on the test piece. A little off center when doing the first "real" hole. Damn... First started to enlarge the smaller hole with stepping up the drill bits.
My initial plan was to end up drilling the final hole with a 3/4inch bit. It wasn't working out that way... After messing around with trying to use even a 1/2inch bit in the hole (without success). I had to think of a plan "C". Had a large set of adjustable reamers that I got way back when. Figure... what the hell.
The hole was off-center so I first enlarged the hole by filing a larger opening while at the same time making the hole more centered in the match-drilling process. I slowly worked my way up from 3/8 to 3/4inch using three of the adjustable reams... slowly meaning s-l-o-w-l-y. It took me three hours total from initial drilled hole to final "match-drilled" hole. What I at first thought a disaster turned spot on.
Lessoned learned:
Second and final hole... I'll drill up to the smallest I need to begin using those adjustable reamers.
August 8 - 11, 2016
Not good, or...
good ?
Received the 3/4inch reamer and... More work on the 3/4inch holes for the upper wing center section. Not sure how I did it but I'm not happy with either hole.
I will be ordering a few lengths of tubing so that I can make sure that the 3/4inch reamer aligns perfectly with the opposite 3/4inch hole. This is a set-back that I didn't want to see happen.
I'll be plugging both holes with sitka spruce and starting the entire process over again. WOW... didn't see this coming... The learning that we need to go through at times. In a week or two I'll be happy I went through this learning.
August 20, 2016
Same size...
or next larger ?
Made a few plugs for the two holes. Got to thinking after I made them that maybe I'll open them up to 7/8inch, from the 3/4inch, and insert larger tubes with correct size hole for bolt? Or, try and re-do the 3/4inch and if I'm not happy with it go up to the 3/4inch?
The jury is still out on this one...
I'll be plugging both holes with sitka spruce and starting the entire process over again. WOW... didn't see this coming... The learning that we need to go through at times. In a week or two I'll be happy I went through this learning.
April 4, 2020
Figured it out!
It's been years thinking of this through. And I probably had this thought a few times, of which I don't remember...
I'm enlarging the holes (both of the ones on the rear spar) to 7/8inch. I'll purchase a 7/8inch x .065 tube and ream out the I.D. to 3/4inch. I'll insert these as bushing into the back spars. It'll be a little bit stronger than the original of which is was just going through the wood.
Yesterday I enlarged all four holes on the brackets for the back spar and ready to again start making the hole in the rear spar.
More to come...

On Friday evening November 13th 2015, several establishments in the 10th and 11th arrondissements in Paris were attacked by a coordinated series of terrorist attacks.
All SAFEY app users that visit France are automatically notified and informed by the in-app upon arrival, that France is a risk area for attacks of this kind.
Previous attacks such as the Saint-Quentin-Fallavier in June 2015 and Charlie Hebdo in January 2015 resulted in elevated risk levels being communicated to app users. The first local news that emerged of the Paris attacks were picked up by SAFEY information systems, and within minutes all app users in France had received SMS warnings about the attack, and professional advice on what to do. All of this occurred while the attack was still unfolding.

Sat January 17, 2004 - Midwest Edition
DES MOINES, IA (AP) A judge has upheld most of the safety violations but lowered the fine against a Missouri company found responsible for a sewer accident that killed two people and injured five others.
Administrative Law Judge I. John Rossi upheld 18 of the 20 violations against Chesterfield, MO-based Insituform Technologies Inc. Despite the ruling, Rossi reduced the proposed fine of $808,250 by more than $650,000, citing industry norms.
Rossi issued his 42-page opinion the week of Dec. 29.
"The evidence clearly shows that there were serious deficiencies" in Insituform's safety practices during the job, Rossi wrote.
He agreed with state safety inspectors that the city of Des Moines, which hired the company to fix 5 mi. (8 km) of sewer line, shared responsibility for the accident.
The city was fined $2,500 for not making sure Insituform had a rescue plan and for not informing the company of city rescue procedures before crews worked underground.
Daniel Grasshoff, 25, of St. Charles, MO, and Brian Burford, 19, of Lemay, MO, drowned in a sewer trench in July 2002 after they were overcome by sewer gas.
A ladder into the trench wasn't long enough to reach the bottom of the trench, making rescue attempts more difficult, and respirators, gas detectors and fresh-air blowers at the scene went largely unused, inspectors and company employees testified during a hearing last summer.
Thomas Cook, a lawyer for Insituform, said the company would likely appeal Rossi's ruling.
The state also may appeal the judge's decision to lower the fine against the company.

1966 Deigert & Yerkes Design in Manor Woods – $489K
This 1966 mid-century split foyer designed by Deigert & Yerkes is tucked into the trees of the Manor Woods neighborhood in Rockville. It was just listed for $489K. Looks like an open house tomorrow (Sept. 29) from 1 to 4 pm. The 4 bedroom/3 bathroom home has nice walls of glass and expansive deck and patio to enjoy the surrounding nature, which is appropriate since Deigert & Yerkes also designed the National Arboretum Administration Building. Manor Woods was the first of a string of "contemporary" communities developed by Miller & Smith in the 1960s and early '70s. They also built Wessynton, Truro and Drumaldry. Deigert & Yerkes designed Wessynton and Truro as well.

Drywall Repairs - Drywall Finishing - Wallpaper Removal - Kitchen Cabinet Painting
These photos don't seem to feature drywall repair or wallpaper removal at first glance. In fact I was originally called to give an estimate on kitchen cabinet painting. The wallpaper removal was included at a minimal charge because throughout the room there was so very little of it. This wallpaper proved itself exceptional in it's enduring quality. After 4 hours of work on one area the homeowner's agreed that the wallpaper had become a part of the walls surface. This is very rare, however, the main reason why one should choose a painter experienced in drywall repair and finishing when having their wallpaper removed.
The Wallpaper was primed with Kilz Oil Based Primer to completely seal it and create an impenetrable surface that latex wall paint would adhere to. Caulking was applied around the baseboards, trim, windows, and ceiling.
The wallpaper seams were skimmed with a coat of drywall. The heavily damaged areas where the wallpaper removal tore off the top coat of the drywall with it were repaired. Two coats of finish paint were applied.
Most wallpaper will come off by saturating it with water. If any bubbling occurs during this process it can not be painted over without extensive drywall repair to cut the bubbles out and make the surface smooth. To remove wallpaper without drywall damage is nearly impossible even for an experienced professional. In the event that the paper peels right off without water the residual glue has to be removed in most cases and a day of drying time is required before painting.
The Kitchen Cabinets featured in these photos were painted with a 3" inch sash brush and have no visible brush strokes. The cabinet doors remained on, the handles were removed, and the hinges were painted around with an artist brush. Deglosser was applied to break down the existing varnish. The cabinets were coated with Kilz Oil Based Primer. Two coats of McCormick Paints Interlok Interior/Exterior Acrylic Gloss Urethane were then applied for the cabinet finish.

Tiffany Haddish was born in South Central Los Angeles, California in December 1979. Tiffany is of Puerto Rican and African descent. She is the oldest of five children and cared for her younger siblings while her mother worked a night shift at the US Post Office. Tragically, when Tiffany was just 9 years old her mother suffered a terrible car accident that also triggered a schizophrenic episode. When Tiffany was 14, her home life had become so erratic that she and her siblings were temporarily put into foster care until their grandmother eventually took custody. Tiffany was a trouble maker in high school. She actually attended the Laugh Factory Comedy Camp rather than go to psychiatric therapy at the insistence of a social worker. The outlet for her pain ended up being extremely cathartic for Tiffany.
Haddish starred as Tiffany in the television series Real Husbands of Hollywood from 2013 to 2014. From 2014 to 2015 she starred as Jackie in the TV series If Loving You Is Wrong. From 2015 to 2017, Haddish starred as Nekeisha on the NBC series The Carmichael Show. She has starred in the movies The Urban Demographic, Meet the Spartans, Janky Promoters, A Christmas Wedding, 4Play, Patterns of Attraction, Wishes, School Dance, All Between Us, and Keanu. She has also appeared in episodes of the TV series That's So Raven, My Name Is Early, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, New Girl, and It's Not You, It's Men. The role that launched Tiffany to the stratosphere was the 2017 comedy Girls Trip which went on to gross more than $140 million worldwide. After the success of Girls Trip, Tiffany hosted Saturday Night Live, she landed an endorsement deal with Groupon that included a commercial during the Super Bowl, she signed a comedy showcase deal with Showtime, a deal for an animated show on Netflix and a first-look production deal with HBO. In June 2018, she hosted the MTV Movie Awards. Also in 2018 she debuted on the TBS sitcom The Last O.G.. In August 2019 Tiffany helped reboot the Comedy Central series "Crank Yankers".

Mary Frances Madison Jackson was granted her angel wings on March 7, 2019. Mary was born on in 1948 to Clint and Irene Madison in Dallas, Texas. She was the youngest of six siblings.
Although Mary was the youngest, she always found great pleasure coordinating family events and helping her Mother cook. At a young age she excelled in event planning and creative designs. Her imagination and natural flair for turning ordinary things into extraordinary creations warmed many hearts over the years. From her birth until her death, Mary nourished the people around her. Her welcoming, compassionate, and witty personality drew people to her. She would become instant friends with anyone she met and made genuine connections with people from all walks of life. She was a consummate hostess and was dedicated in her contributions to her family, church, and community.
Education, generosity, and character was always important to Mary and she instilled that in her children. Mary graduated from James Madison High School and was crowned Most Beautiful Girl. She also served on the Journalism Club, English Club, Drama Club, Rifle Team, and ROTC. From there she studied Medical Technology at Texas Southern University. True to form, many of Mom's achievements could only be found by way of plaques tucked in a closet.
Mary retired from Dallas Independent School District; where she served 27 years as a culinary supervisor. The children often referred to her as "Momma", because of her mentoring, encouragement and loving heart. She was very passionate about the students eating healthy and being knowledgeable about what they ate. So, it was not unusual to see her dressed as a cow or other characters to get her message across. During her tenure, she was recognized with several Budget and Sanitation Awards, began a free lunch program for underprivileged children, and was acknowledged for Excellence in Food Service by the Senate of Texas.
After retiring from DISD that passion for cooking and decorating was further excelled in the Sunday breakfast ministry at St Mark Missionary Baptist Church with her loving husband and friends Sister Regina and Brother Crowley. Many would point out she was a whiz with a needle and thread; making countless church costumes, center pieces, and formal attire for her family and friends. You could see her various crafts and culinary delights every Sunday morning during Sunday School breakfast and other church events. In addition to serving in the Food Ministry, she also taught Vacation Bible School, Adult and Children Sunday School, and orchestrated a community block party for St Mark.
An important aspect of Mary's life was family: her beloved husband, Bobby Jackson was her sunshine for 28 years, with whom she enjoyed traveling, exploring and gardening. People would often say," Where's Bob and Mary"; oh yeah, they're probably out fishing or exploring. They enjoyed retirement to the fullest and planned several vacations every year.
Mary went above and beyond to help anyone in need and made deep and enduring friendships that she cherished. It is no surprise that people considered her as a second mother, sister, aunt, and best friend. While we are most saddened by her absence, her heart and soul will carry us through this difficult time. Mary leaves to celebrate her life Bobby Jackson husband and their children, Darmetta Jones-Thrower (Cecil), Antonia, Ralph Davis (Sheena), and Hiireen. Mary will also be fondly remembered by her grandchildren, Jazmnye, Jarrett (Deanna), Shaniya, Jaquan, Harold, and King; by her great grandchild Reina; by her half daughters, Bella, Marie, and Denice; by her sisters, Eula Watson and Labarbara Madison; by her brothers Rev. Clinton Madison and Pastor Allen Madison; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and godchildren. She was preceded in death by her oldest brother, Johnnie Earl Madison.
Mary's words of wisdom were, "Trust God, he will do it" and her legacy was feeding the soul with culinary creations.
To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Mary (Madison) Jackson, please visit our floral store.

The Pros and Cons of Working with FamilyPosted: July 24, 2018 Filed under: business, Family business, relationships, Uncategorized | Tags: Family business, pros and cons, working with family, Working with parents Leave a comment
Have you ever considered running a family business? Perhaps you're enticed by the convenience of working with people you already know, or maybe you're seeking to leave a family legacy for your children and theirs. While there are many benefits to working with family, it can also have its downsides. Although many families succeed in business, sometimes the stress of running a business can get in the way of family relationships and vice versa.
I have worked with dozens of family businesses over the years, and through TAB meetings I have noticed several pros and cons family business owners seem to experience. Here are a few pros and cons you may encounter if you decide to work with family:
- Kick-Start Your Succession Plan. Your business may be your pride and joy right now, but if you ever plan on retiring or starting another venture, you may need to consider eventually passing it along to someone else. Partnering with or hiring a family member can be a great way to show them the ropes so they can one day run the business.
- Gain a Valuable Marketing Angle. Consumers prefer purchasing from family businesses. Although this doesn't mean you should partner with any family member for the sake of owing a family business, hiring a qualified sibling or child can improve your business's image.
- Trust Who You're Hiring. Hiring can be a convoluted process, and it can become discouraging if your business experiences a high turnover. By hiring a family member, you likely already have a strong sense of their work ethic and whether they'd be a good fit for your business and team.
- Taking Work Home With You. Many business owners I know are guilty of this, but you may find it difficult to keep business discussions within business hours. For the sake of continued positive family relationships you may not want business to be at the forefront of every family gathering.
- Concerned Employees. Unless your entire staff is family, some of your non-related employees may worry that they won't be treated equally. I encourage you to communicate to your staff that all employees are held to the same standards, and are subject to the same policies and codes of conduct.
- Maintaining Professionalism. Regardless if you're working with relatives, a certain level of professionalism should still be maintained in the workplace. Keep family gossip out of the office and treat each other no differently than you'd treat a normal co-worker.
If you truly believe that one of your family members would be a valuable asset to your team, I encourage you to hire them. If, on the other hand, you are considering working with family solely out of convenience or family pressure, I suggest standing firm on the decisions that are in the best interest of your business. There can be substantial benefits to partnering with or hiring a family member, but it takes a strong, communicative family to make it work.

Don't Let Numbers Paralyze Your BusinessPosted: July 10, 2018 Filed under: business, business advisor, Business Plan, Uncategorized | Tags: business advice, business plan, business strategy Leave a comment
Since profit is essential for longevity and overall success of a business, it can be difficult to not obsess over your business's numbers. As a passionate business owner, you may find yourself spending a lot of time worrying about unmet sales goals, overspent budgets, or unforeseen expenditures. These are all valid concerns, but is fixating on them benefitting your business?
Probably not. Instead, I encourage you to look at your business's big picture. I believe that numbers are better used as a point of reference for the future rather than as an immediate source of panic. To help free you of the burden that numbers place on many business owners, here is what I suggest:
Build a Detailed Plan
You may have annual or quarterly financial goals, but are they included in an in-depth plan that includes steps and strategies to reach those goals? It's generally easier to reach a destination with a map. Consider implementing KPIs into your business plan to help you recognize that a poor financial quarter doesn't necessarily mean your business isn't growing in other relevant areas.
Re-evaluate Your Existing Plan
If you already have a detailed business plan, it can be understandably frustrating if you are not meeting your goals. You have big ambitions for your business, but every business moves at its own pace. Consider that perhaps some goals may be currently out of reach and can be postponed until next year. Aim for greatness, but ensure your goals are realistic for your current means.
Communicate With Staff
Part of re-evaluating your business plan may include confirming that individual staff and departments are aware of the specific part they play in achieving the company's goals. Perhaps your employees are doing their best to play their parts, but their best could be better if offered the right motivation. Budgets are often tight, but there are ways to keep employees motivated without giving pay raises.
Remember, going over budget on one item or for one quarter rarely means that you need to stop everything. Businesses have their ups and downs, but you will remain on the path to success as long as you treat everything as a learning opportunity.
If you would like to discuss how to build an effective business plan, contact me today to join a TAB peer advisory board.

Finance Minister's Sri Mulyani's signature batik blouse goes under the hammer on Wednesday (28/02). (JG Photo/Yudhi Sukma Wijaya)
Indonesian Govt Officials Put Up Prized Personal Items for Fundraising Auction
Jakarta. A wide range of personal items belonging to dozens of top Indonesian government officials including Vice President Jusuf Kalla were put up for auction at the National Gallery in Jakarta on Wednesday (28/02).
More than 50 items – with initial bid prices from Rp 1,000 (7 cents) to Rp 15 million – were auctioned at the Finance Ministry's event to raise money for charity.
A total of 19 state officials took part in the auction, including Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati, Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi, Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi, State-Owned Enterprises Minister Rini Soemarno, Spatial Planning Minister Sofyan Djalil, Industry Minister Airlangga Hartarto and Health Minister Nila Moeloek.
Among the auctioned items were fine batik fabrics, traditional handwoven textiles, a vintage cookie jar, neckties, hats, a bag, prayer mats, jackets, shoes, paintings, a guitar, ping pong badges, a set of golf clubs and bicycles.
The item with the highest initial bid price of Rp 15 million was a Balinese painting of lotus flowers with wooden frames that belonged to Bank Rakyat Indonesia president director Suprajarto.
A pair of black Felix Verguso synthetic rubber shoes belonging to Heru Pambudi, the director general of customs and excise at the Finance Ministry, was the cheapest item on offer at Rp 1,000.
The item that raised the most money, Rp 20 million, was an acoustic guitar that belonged to Transportation Minister Budi, who was prepared to let it go for Rp 500,000.
"That's one of my most treasured possessions. I bought it ten years ago for about Rp 5 million," Budi said at the National Gallery. "But I'm prepared to give away my most prized possession for a good cause."
Budi's name was on the front pages of the local press late last year when he played the guitar in a joke band called "Elek Yo Band" (We're Bad, Who Cares?) with several other ministers, including Retno and Sri Mulyani, at the wedding of State Secretary Pratikno's daughter.
"Now that his guitar has been auctioned, the band has to break up," Sri Mulyani joked at the auction. "Or maybe he's already bought himself a new one."
The Finance Minister herself auctioned a hand-made, long-sleeve batik shirt with flower motifs that she had frequently donned on duties. The item was offered for Rp 5 million and sold for Rp 10 million.
"Indonesians appreciate the history of these items," Sri Mulyani said. "Auction can be an alternative form of transaction, a new culture in Indonesia."
Including Wednesday's event, which also featured e-auction and closed bidding, state officials in Indonesia have been doing fundraising auctions for 110 years.

The cap-strapped Rangers had carried three extra players since opening night, and something had to give. The logjam broke on Tuesday, when veteran tough guy Tanner Glass, with two years remaining on a three-year, $4.35-million contract, was placed on waivers.
If the 31-year-old left wing is not claimed by noon on Wednesday, he likely will be assigned to Hartford, but only $950,000 of his $1.45 million annual salary charge can be buried in the AHL. The Rangers would carry the remaining $500,000 as dead space, unless Glass is claimed. Then the entire contract is off the books.
Glass played 66 games last season, with a goal and six points, and 98 penalty minutes. He played only two of seven games this month, on the fourth line, totaling two shots and four penalty minutes.
The move leaves Emerson Etem, 23, as the 13th and spare forward and Dylan McIlrath, also 23, as the extra defenseman. Had the Rangers waived Etem, who was acquired in the Carl Hagelin trade to Anaheim, or McIlrath, a first-round draft choice in 2010, there was a strong risk that a team would claim them.
Glass was signed as a free agent on July 1, 2014, because the front office needed to restore a fourth line. They did not re-sign Brian Boyle and traded Derek Dorsett to Vancouver and wanted a deterrent and penalty-killer.
Coach Alain Vigneault vouched for Glass, whom he coached from 2009 to 2011, when Glass played 140 games, with seven goals, 14 assists and 187 penalty minutes for Vancouver. His deal with the Rangers was met with criticism at the time by observers around the league, because of the cap hit and term of the contract.
The transaction will leave the Rangers, who did not practice on Tuesday, with 22 players, and some wiggle room: about $1.1 million in cap space.
General manager Jeff Gorton has several options: He can sit tight and consider deals before the Feb. 29 trade deadline or he could call up a player from Hartford, if necessary. Among the candidates who could fit are defensemen Raphael Diaz ($700,000) and Brady Skjei ($925,000) and forwards Brian Gibbons ($750,000) and Jayson Megna ($600,000).
Glass, a Saskatchewan native, also played for the Panthers, who drafted him in 2003, the Jets and Penguins. In 445 regular-season NHL games, he was 19-41-60, with 560 penalty minutes and a minus-47.

In 2003 we invaded Iraq with no real reason being offered. Hundreds of thousands protested.
We're in the process of doing it again, and again, no credible reasons are being offered, but no one is taking to the streets. We are as amiable sheep, heading to slaughter.
Back in 2003, Bush, Cheney and the neocons said it was part of the "war on terror." But there was no link between al Qaeda and Iraq; were no WMDs; and the strategy of "fighten' over there so's we wouldn't have to fight them here" never made a lick of sense. The strategy of invade and occupy is costing us $4.4 trillion, resulting in 6,617 US troop deaths and counting, millions of civilian casualties, and causing an exponential increase in the number of terrorists.
Let's repeat that – our current policies of intervening in civil and religious conflicts in the name of defeating terrorism – has created more terrorists and increased terrorism on a global level.
Meanwhile, we know that conventional intelligence and police work has been extraordinarily effective at preventing terrorist attacks here in the US, and it has done so at a relatively low cost.
Let's do a quick review of the facts:
- the people we're "helping" don't want us there,
- the actions we're taking to reduce terrorism are increasing it,
- the threats we're confronting are grossly overstated,
- the costs of our counterproductive strategy – even if it weren't failing -- are grotesquely out of proportion with the actual threats we face, and
- there's a low cost alternative that does work,
You'd think, given these facts, we'd reexamine our policies.
But of course, you'd be wrong. You'd also think people would be taking to the streets to at least demand a justification for pursuing this idiocy. But again, you'd be wrong.
The question is, why the quiescence?
To understand why, we need to take a look at popular culture. Picture the scene in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, where McMurphy and friends voluntarily line up for their anti-psychotics. It's become iconic – Silver Linings Playbook, Shelter Island, A Beautiful Mind … The point is, the meds are being given as much to make the patients tractable, as to treat them.
Our society uses fear in the same way – with one important difference. In the movies and in real medical applications, meds are given to the mentally ill to help them cope with reality. In our culture, the mentally challenged dispense fear to keep the healthy from seeing reality.
Doubt that? Let's examine the justifications for our psychotic foreign policy.
We're regularly treated to the usual hyperbolic bloviations about ISIS/ISIL posing an "existential threat," to the US. But this doesn't even pass the straight face test. An existential threat is one in which our very existence is at risk. But ISIS is composed of about 20 thousand rag tag troops equipped with scrounged weapons, no aircraft, and no ships, and they are located 7,000 miles away. How these landlocked troops pose any threat to the US has never been explained.
Perhaps they are all really good swimmers.
But the notion of terrorism as an "existential threat" or a threat beyond anything we've seen is widely disseminated by our whole society.
Listen to the news and it's all ISIL/ISIS all the time.
Back in Washington, Congress, Pundits, Academia, and the Think Tanks are all a-flutter about the latest twists and turns of "The War on Terror …" Here again, until very recently, it was all ISIS, all the time.
Interestingly, only the fear inducing threat of an Ebola outbreak here in the US has managed to intrude a bit on the ISIS feeding frenzy in the media.
The message is clear: Be afraid. Very afraid.
But in reality, it turns out, terrorism and terrorists are pretty lame. In a columnin Scientific American, entitled The Five Myths of Terrorism – Including that it Works, Michael Shermer completely destroys the notion that terrorism resembles our vision of it. The article is subtitled, Why Terrorism Doesn't Work.
As Shermer points out, terrorists are mostly a collection of poorly-trained incompetents, not brilliant strategists. The shoebomber couldn't light his shoe; the underwear bomber only managed to burn his genitals; The Times Square bomber succeed only in burning up his SUV; the Boston Marathon bombers had no escape plan and one of them failed at a suicide attempt. Nor are they a purely evil global organization with a monolithic world-view. Their motives are varied and in many cases, they were recruited into terrorism by the very wars of occupation we engaged in to defeat terrorism.
Actual studies of terrorism – as opposed to hysterical fear-mongering for fun and profit – clearly show it hasn't worked very well. This from Shermer's article:
In an analysis of 457 terrorist campaigns since 1968, George Mason University political scientist Audrey Cronin found that not one extremist group conquered a state and that a full 94 percent failed to gain even one of their strategic goals. Her 2009 book is entitled How Terrorism Ends (Princeton University Press). It ends swiftly (groups survive eight years on average) and badly (the death of its leaders).
Moreover, since 911, terrorists have killed just 33 people in America – which, as Shermer notes, is "statistically insignificant."
And the track record shows that conventional law enforcement and intelligence efforts have successfully thwarted terrorist attacks here in the US – and at a very low cost compared to the "invade and occupy" strategy.
So there you have it – currently we spend more on battling terrorism than on any other discretionary budget item, sacrifice long-cherished freedoms, incur hundreds of thousands of casualties and use tactics that actually increase the number of terrorists.
We should, of course, be vigilant. But the kind of fear-induced, society-altering, militaristic response we're buying into? A little crazy, to say the least.
Meanwhile, there is a real existential threat facing us: Climate Change. This unfolding tragedy is already killing 300,000 people a year, and is expected to kill as many as 100 million by 2030. It is also destroying habitats and eliminating as many as half of all species alive today. By mid-century, it may create as many as 200 million refugees, according to UN estimates – and these displaced people will be a giant pool for recruiting terrorists.
But unlike fears conjured up from "out there," responding to climate change doesn't distract – it calls on us to come together and face reality, not run from it.
This means oligarchs and plutocrats can't use it to give us our daily dose of distraction so it is useless to them – actually, it is worse than useless, it calls on us to address the whole stacked economic deck that keeps the uber-rich on top.
And so we take our daily dose of fear and march mindlessly into battle while real threats are swept under the rug.

Some of nature's best superfoods, here are the benefits of eating berries.
Sharper memory
A large-scale study of over 16 000 women showed that consuming berries at least once weekly may slow "age-related memory loss".
WebMD reported that "When researchers compared women who ate the most blueberries and strawberries to those who ate the fewest, they found that those who ate the most had a slower rate of developing memory problems. The difference was equal to about two-and-a-half years of aging."
Based on previous studies done on mice, the results have suggested that berries may protect Alzheimer's patients from memory declines. The superfood contains anthocyanins, a type of antioxidant compound that can stimulate blood flow to the brain, particularly in the areas of the brain that are responsible for memory and learning.
Improved heart health
A study on middle-aged subjects showed that "eating just under a cup of mixed berries daily for eight weeks was associated with increased levels of "good" HDL cholesterol and lowered blood pressure". These are factors that will benefit cardiovascular health.
In addition, a Harvard study on young adult women revealed that consumption of berries improved heart health. The study "showed heart health benefits in participants who consumed at least three servings of blueberries and strawberries per week".
Researchers believe that it is the anthocyanins that are responsible for the benefits.
Prevent disease
In an issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, nutrition scientists ranked berries and beans as the foods with the most antioxidants. With a high antioxidant content, their ability to subdue free radicals makes berries a powerful weapon against a variety of diseases, from allergies to arthritis.
Studies have also shown that they "have anticancer effects by inhibiting tumour growth and decreasing inflammation in the body", suggesting that they might be the natural solution to preventing cancer.
So… start now
From blending them in smoothies, to including them in pies and pastries, it's time to start incorporating berries in your diet for some of these awesome benefits!
