Golden Rules of Game Mastering
On Thursday, Brandan posted five ways to make your DM's life easier. As a Dungeon Master, however, it's incumbent upon you to repay your players' efforts. Here are two guidelines for all Dungeon Masters.
Golden Rule 1: The game must be fun.
The Dungeon Master must ensure that the players enjoy the game. They must not become bored or unhappy.
Your role as Dungeon Master is to keep your players entertained. All else is secondary: rules, plot, and even game balance are only tools toward that goal. Throw any of these under the train if you think it'll provide a better game experience.
Don't be afraid to examine your dungeon mastering style for faults. For example, in my last session we took a full hour to get to the adventure proper, because as DM I wanted to avoid sacrificing the planned story to hurry things along. Although the story kept going, it meant that the players were bored for an hour.
Golden Rule 2: The DM is always right.
The Dungeon Master is the authority on the game. If the rules disagree, they are wrong.
Yax at Dungeon Mastering calls this his Golden Rule. As DM, you have authority to change, counter or ignore a rule to favour the game. The game rules are your tool and not the other way around. It's also called "Rule 0": a hypothetical rule pencilled in on the inside cover of the DM's rulebook.
Here's the catch: You need to know the rules first, so that you'll know how to break them. Moreover, the DM's only right because he's responsible for the game. In other words, the first rule overrides the second. If your game is poorly received, you're probably doing something wrong.
Anything else?
Feel free to drop a comment: What other "golden rules" of dungeon mastering are missing from this list?
Comments (3)
#2 conflicts with #1 for a significant number of peoples.
Fun is a shared responsibility. Your rule implies it is the duty/responsibility of the DM. Fun is not possible unless everyone is trying to have it.
The DM is not always right. Your byline is a far superior and accurate statement. "The Dungeon Master is the authority on the game. If the rules disagree, they are wrong."
The one and only rule is "Treat your players (and your gamemaster) as you would like to be treated if the roles were reversed."
Funny you should say that…
Two things that play off of the first rule that's helped keep the groups that I've played with going well have been:
Firstly, run the game that you want to run. If you're running a horror game because your players wanted you to, but you hate horror games, even the best GM is going to falter and probably not run up to his potential.
Also on that same point, be honest with your players about what you want to run and what you want out of the game. The same thing applies - if the DM ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
Granted, these may not be 'golden' rules, but they've certainly helped foster some excellent game times.

If you want to keep readers coming back to your website, you should produce fresh blog posts to keep their interest. Look to the biggest sites, what they all have in common is that they constantly produce content that is new and fresh. This is also what the webmasters of the blog will say is the most difficult thing. Producing content that is fresh and frequent is a challenge that, once overcome, will take your blog to a new level.
There are a number of things that can help you in producing content that is fresh. The first is to make sure that your posts are kept brief. Trying to consistently put out 500 word posts will quickly burn you out, with the time that is taken. Many good blogs have many posts that are short. The average attention span of the internet reader is about a minute and a half. Short blog posts will be refreshing for the readers who may not have the time to read very long blog posts.
Another thing that is good for keeping content fresh is to prepare a backup stash of articles, or a working queue. This sort of action is especially good for those who may find themselves suffering from writers block. The premise is to write articles before you need them. You may have a stash of articles for when you are blocked, or you may have a stack of articles that you add to, and pull content from, following a schedule planned in advance.
Some blogs will invite their readers to be guest bloggers. This will not only introduce ideas from your readers, which can act as a muse for your posts, but it will also encourage participation from your blog readers. Interaction is a surefire way to create a sense of community with your readers. Reader interaction is also good because some great blog posts stem from conversations in the comments section. Let us not forget the biggest benefit to guest bloggers, one less blog post for you to write.
Guest bloggers do not have to readers. Rather, you can find a blogger who is within the same genre or niche. Inviting these bloggers to contribute can enable you to form professional relationships with other bloggers. These relationships can encourage the growth of ideas through conversations. Many times, guest bloggers from other blogs will also allow you to write for their blog. This gives you and them access to each others readers, bolstering the traffic to both blogs.
Sometimes the best way to ensure fresh content is to blog in teams. A team of bloggers may run a single blog or many. The idea is that the bloggers will share in blogging duties, so that if one can not contribute for a period of time, the others can take up the slack and ensure that fresh content is produced. Such an agreement between bloggers will require less work for the bloggers, and give a number of different views within the content.
Producing content that is fresh is how you will ensure that your blog flourishes.

This was taken at the picnic of the Birmingham Zine Festival 2010. It was such a glorious day considering it was September!
I had a great time! I missed the actual festival the day before and the majority of the celebrations but was grateful for the chance to meet some lovely people at the park. I had fun making and exchanging business cards, too!
The lovely gentleman pictured is Matthew Murray. You can view his blog, 365 Zines a Year by following the link. I've had a couple of my zines featured in his blog and it was off those reviews which landed me the opportunity to have my work put on sale in The Sticky Institute in Australia.

TL;DR: Parade raining on, etc.
I debated saying something about this for a while now, probably because I hate the 'stop being so happy there are bad things going on in the world' card. It's not that I'm trying to bring anyone down, in fact, there's nothing I want more than to see people happy. Let's be honest here, life is pretty depressing for everyone, and we all need a cup of cheer every now and then.
But there's a line that really needs to be drawn. Not because of social issues, or because you need to be a Better Person, but because it's reality, and even at our happiest we need to at least have a little perspective on things.
Homestuck fandom, good job. Sincerely, I mean that. It's fantastic that you have a community that is so willing to come together and support the same goal— and its creator, which is something most fandoms only feign at till it comes time to pay up. Raising 700k in so little time is a feat that is, bottom line, insane. You did something most kickstarters won't ever do, and that's something you deserve to be happy about.
But, on the other side of things, there are kickstarters out there for matters that are imminent and dire, like the attempt to save Pe'sla, like charity drives for people who are dying, or without water, and they need that support so much more. This isn't a guilt trip, it's a fact, and it's something you can promote and cheer on just as much. Hussie met his goal, these drives? They're not. Pe'sla's been out and about getting tons of signal boosting, and in nearly a month they've only made about 300k.
So if you see someone waving around that they're going to spend more money on a cause that's already been fulfilled, maybe try to change their mind and point them to another kickstarter that's in need. Ask about the possibility of the funds already raised beyond the goal being donated to specific charities, and put this totally awesome community to work getting some serious ass kicked in terms of bettering things out there for people in need, because you know you can better than most anyone else out there!

I can't decide what to do. I want to give up. And then I don't want to give up.
I'm afraid that it will always be like this. I don't know how to control how I feel.
Dear heart and mind, get yourself together.
I can't decide what to do. I want to give up. And then I don't want to give up.
I'm afraid that it will always be like this. I don't know how to control how I feel.
Dear heart and mind, get yourself together.
For a period in my life could I just please forget about you.
I think it would be way easier than feeling like this constantly.
And today made me realize it.
What you're doing.
What makes you laugh.
Who's your best friend.
Why it's you God chose.
I wonder if you exist.
Soon you'll all know…but now's not the time.
You're going to go on w/ your life, as I lie here sad, wondering what she had that I didn't. Because at the end of the day, even if this was all your fault, I'm the one who lost.
Sometimes I wonder what things would be like now if I had moved to Washington sooner. Perhaps maybe if we had known each other back then, everything would be different. Maybe I would be over you by now. Or maybe we could have been together. Or maybe we wouldn't even be friends right now. I don't know. There are so many possibilities. But that isn't what happened. I must have met you at that time for a reason. And I am still scrambling my brain to try and find out why. Why did we meet at that time?
Am I supposed to keep holding on? Or do I just give up now? Do I even possess the capability of giving up? I am the type of person to hold onto something and always fight for it.
It's just… I am so tired
I wonder if you think of me as much as I think of you. You're always on my mind even when I don't want you to be. It's as if everything I think about revolves around you and I just want it to stop. It's as if you just went on with your life like nothing ever happened and I'm the only one heartbroken. I wish I knew what you were thinking. And I wish we could get back to how the way things were but only time will tell. Sigh.
— -Kristin
(Source: ourboiiiiiis)
frustrated. confused. upset. offended. angry. hurt. i had so many things that i wanted to tell you and explain to you and ask you. i was going to play your game and make you regret disappearing on me.
but now, i'm just sad. i don't have anything to say to you, because my heart feels worn out. and i'm too tired to make you feel what i'm feeling.
so if this is the part of the story where we go our separate ways, then i guess there's nothing i can do about it
(Source: ourboiiiiiis)
sad how i know that hahah.

Amazon is a F Joke. Don't be left holding your thing when the Analysts pull the rug from under you next week. The company is built on sand.
With such a fragile economic environment and overall weak growth in the developing countries huge risks remain in the financial markets. Clearly second half earnings forecasts will be revised downward which poses a problem for investors should they continue to play the game banking on continued Fed easy money policies or take their chips off the table now before the inevitable meaningful correction takes place.
Who cares!?!?
Just select any three or four letters, see if it's a stock symbol and BUY!
Didn't you see the miracle today? It's like, you know, free cash and all that.
Peter- You sound like a frustrated short-seller. How big is your short position? And were you using puts?

After undergoing development for three years, Alien: Isolation has manifested itself as a gameplay love letter to fans of the 1979 classic Alien just in time for the film's 35th anniversary.
We at Geek had the pleasure of getting our palms and ps4 controllers sweaty with an Alien: Isolation demo experience. The game opens up 15 years after the events that took place on the Nostromo, following Amanda Ripley's investigative search for her mother, Ellen. Upon first look, the landscape takes you back to the eerie atmosphere of the first film. Though it's 2137 in the game, it's the future executed in a 70′s aesthetic. Consoles are oversized and bulky, while screens are displayed in old school analog black and green, together playing their respective parts in an overall psychologically thrilling experience.
You (Amanda Ripley) have in fact volunteered for this mission and this being the space-horror that it is, things go awry, quite fast. You've been transferred to the space station Sevastopol to find the flight recorder of the Nostromo, and as fate would have it, a xenomorph has already infested the station. In a jarring and semi-crypitc how-to video you're given tips on how to avoid the singular xenomorph on the station, but there's a catch here: you can't kill it.
While gamers (ourselves included) are used to a flight or fight like gaming experience, Alien: Isolation requires a basket of patience, quick wit and a cool calm collective (none of these I had at the inception of my gameplay) differentiating itself from the shooter-style gaming predecessors. You're equipped with a motion tracker and a flashlight. The tracker updates your objectives' point of location as well as keeping a third eye out for the xenomorph. It even lets you know when you're being hunted, mimicking a sonar ping, which obviously keeps you calm, right?
Instead of weaponry, Isolation focuses on stealth tactics while highlighting survival as the final goal. Developer and creative lead Alistair Hope did clue us in on some customary objects that can change the dynamic of the game, given the proper situation, but not to attack the Xenomorph. You've seen the Alien franchise (we'd be really disappointed if you haven't), so you know our resident predators are sensory creatures and rely on this during the game play. If they can't see or hear you, you're in the clear. Running is discouraged, as it creates more noise and attention. We learned this the hard way (Not saying that I died multiple times in the game or anything.)
So what happens, once you're back in the game? You can try the same route, right? If that's what helped you to prior victories? Hate to break it to you, but that's a no-go in Alien: Isolation. The lone Xenomorph has an AI of its own, allowing it to hunt and stalk it's prey differently every single play, throwing even the best gamers off course. In some cases it even learns from your patterns, making the experience all the more realistic and terrifying. But fear not! In your favor, the landscape is non-linear allowing you to hide and crouch under and behind multiple objects.
The demo was an incredible experience, occasionally filling the room with random gasps, shudders and possibly a curse at the seven gods too. The horror tactics in Isolation are very effective, leaving you skulking corners and turning on every light in your wake. Check out the official Alien: Isolation trailer below.
Alien: Isolation hits shelves October 7, 2014 on PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One and PS4.

A few years ago it was commonplace in the mortgage industry for lenders to make home loans on the basis of the borrower's stated income. You might wonder why a lender would underwrite such a risky loan. It seems like these types of loans were ripe for fraud on the part of the borrower by inflating their income and assets. At the time most lenders thought that there would never be any problem because they were certain that home values would continue to increase and therefore even if they had to foreclose on the property, they would be able to recover most if not all of the remaining amount left on the note. Of course, we all know that the gamble of these lenders turned out to constitute unbelievable pour insight into the workings of home values. Sure, as long as foreclosure rates stayed relatively low, home values could continue to increase even with a foreclosure here and there. But as home prices soared in certain parts of the country, each new loan involved higher and higher payments and therefore higher likelihood of default and foreclosure. As more and more people began to default because they either could not afford the loan from the beginning or their interest rate adjusted upward under an ARM product, the comparable home values in the area were adversely affected. Because foreclosure sales almost never return the full value of the property, each foreclosure caused the values of the homes in the surrounding area to drop. As a double whammy, banks and state legislatures began to realize that these loans were just too risky and fewer people were able to qualify for a home loan. As a result, we had an economic client that was perfectly ripe to see home values fall by significant levels.
With hundreds of thousands of homeowners facing foreclosure and banks facing the reality that they were going to take massive losses on many of these loans, the state legislatures of many states saw an immediate need to step in. One of the most common things the state legislatures are imposing on lenders is a requirement that they verify the borrower's ability to repay. You might say, why would we need such a law? Don't lenders always verify the borrower's ability to repay the loan they are making? It seems like bad business to neglect to verify the ability to repay. As mentioned earlier, a number of lenders thought it was a solid business practice because they did not consider that home prices would not continue to appreciate indefinitely or that home prices could and in many areas would decline. Most of the states that require the ability to repay now specifically require that lender's verify the borrower's stated income and assets through past tax returns or pay stubs or through other reasonably reliable methods. As I outlined above, requiring the ability to repay is necessary to avoid the housing bubble and subsequent burst that we have experienced in the past decade. However, there are certain circumstances where verifying the borrower's ability to repay should not necessarily involve verification of income and assets through the normal methods. Specifically, the VA and FHA streamline finances should not require the normal ability to repay.
The VA streamline is a unique product in the mortgage industry. The VA created this product to allow veterans who are already in a VA home loan to take advantage of a significant drop in interest rates with little effort or expense. The VA has done this by requiring little or no documentation on these types of loans. However, in order to qualify as a streamline refinance, the borrower's overall payment must actually decrease. This means that streamline refinances do not present the potential for fraud and foreclosure that other low documentation or stated income loans present. This is due to the fact that the original loan was underwritten under the normal stringent VA guidelines. The borrower has a payment history on the original loan and cannot have a late payment in the last twelve months, and as mentioned before but it cannot be overstated, the borrowers overall payment must go down. In fact, these types of loans should help to reduce foreclosure rates by allowing borrowers to take advantage of lower interest rates and lower payments. The problem is that when state legislatures consider passing an ability to pay requirement, they do not know anything about the VA and FHA streamline products. Therefore, the state ends up passing an ability to pay statute but does not create an explicit exception for VA and FHA streamlines. The state of Illinois recently passed such a statute. The statute was drafted with exceptionally broad language. The Illinois statute says that the lender must verify the borrower's ability to repay through traditional method or through other acceptable means. Clearly in the government streamline the lender could easily say that they have verified the borrower's ability to repay through reasonable means. Even though the Illinois law has this flexibility, due to the conservative lending climate we are currently experiencing, many lenders are unwilling to do the government streamline loans without a specific statutory or regulatory exception for government streamlines in the Illinois law. There are other states such as Minnesota with similar ability to repay statutes that have provided a specific exemption for government streamlines. I would argue that the state of Illinois should enact such a specific exemption for government streamlines, and even further they are doing a disservice to their constituents if they do not enact such an exemption in the near future. For any states that may be considering adding an ability to repay statute in the future, they should ensure that their statute includes an exemption for government streamline refinance products.

Earlier this week reports popped up that Eva Longoria was tuning to the world of Spanish tele-novelas to jump-start her acting career. The Latin Times reported that the 39-year-old would appear in three tele-novelas on the Televisa network – and in one of them she was going to play the mother of William Levy – the hottie from DWTS. P.S. – he is only 6 years younger. Anyway – Eva says its not true. She tweeted – "how can people make up stories like this and print it. Not one word of this is true! Even has fake quotes from me." Side note – she is dating the president of Televisa – but she is not going to be acting in any of his shows.
Drama with Tori Spelling and her man Dean McDermott. Its been in the tabloids that he cheated on her. She has been seen wthout her ring a few times but on her blog and social media she is trying to keep a united front. Pics of the family lovingly cuddling. Interesting sidenote – Tori failed to ink a pre-nup with her hubby 7 years ago. Dean offered to sign one, but Tori refused. A family insider says "She truly believed Dean was her soul mate and there was zero need for a pre-nup." So how much is she worth? Lots of debate on that number – they say the 40-year-old is worth as much as $300 million and other reports say its as low as $1.5 million.
She has officially filed for divorce and season 9 of KUWTK kicks of in a 2 weeks. Sounds like a perfect time for Khloe Kardashian to drag Lamar Odom's name thru the reality show mud. The show has has already teased that Lamars cheating and drug use will be part of the storyline. A source close to Odom told RadarOnline.com: "The last thing Lamar needs in his life is to be portrayed as a schmuck. Khloe has assured him that it won't be bad, but how can it not be? He is trying to make a career comeback and he thinks this is going to hinder and hurt those efforts. He feels he's going to be used to get ratings for the Kardashians." (Duh.) Meanwhile – they are friendly, talk daily, she makes sure he goes to DUI meetings and NBA training but there is no chance for a reconciliation.
Excited superfans have been shelling out a crazy 25-hundred dollars for a VIP Meet-And-Greet with Britney Spears in Las Vegas, but many are left disappointed after their quick "3-second" photo-op with the Toxic singer. Radaronline.com says for the crazy price of 25-hundred dollars you geta front-row seat to Spears' Piece of Me show in Sin City, a boatload of Britney merchandise and a meet & greet plus a photo op with Britney. So fans were told they could not hug or touch Britney without her permission and were not allowed to bring her any gifts. And once they finally got to meet her it was like smile, take a photo and goodbye. Each person got like 3 second with her. Fans were really unhappy – especially for the money they paid. They say it was just awkward and uncomfortable. She barely spoke, smiled and nodded and said thank you a lot.

Gardens, Galleries and Grapes event to showcase Shenandoah spring
By Josette Keelor
This Sunday, the Shenandoah County Tourism office will present Gardens, Galleries and Grapes, an all-day countywide event that will stretch from Strasburg south to New Market.
It will include wine tastings, garden tours, musical performances and activities for children, said Natalie Wills, director of tourism and marketing for the county.
"We wanted to do something to celebrate spring, and it's been a long winter," she said. "We wanted to celebrate those things that are unique about Shenandoah County."
One unique aspect she said is the county's name itself, which easily leant itself to the naming of the long-anticipated O Shenandoah County Artisan Trail. Wills said the county will launch the trail in early September.
"We're really using [Shenandoah] in our branding and marketing," she said. "We're doing it on our own and so far we have about 50 participants signed up."
Sunday's event will include area businesses, non-profits and even private residences in a preview of what the artisan trail will include.
For Sunday, Wills said, participants are teaming up to offer more than what they normally would.
"It's more than your average event," she said.
"We just wanted to celebrate all the things that are in the title," Wills said. "It's gardening time, and people can learn gardening tips."
Live music, hay rides under apple blossoms and basket weaving are other options, she said.
With a lot going on around the county, Wills encourages those interested to plan ahead. The participating sites are as follows:
Woodbine Farm Market, 5199 John Marshall Highway, Strasburg
Phoenix Fitness and Aquatics, 35 Brandi Court, Strasburg
Shenandoah Valley Art Works, 234 W. King St., Strasburg

About the project:
GPMD worked alongside Wonga to develop a Magento integration for their new PayLater service, which can now be used by Magento merchants.
Paylater allows customers to spread the cost of their purchase over a 3 month period with no risk to merchants. Paylater, a point of sale financing solution offering instant online decisions, is perfect for merchants looking to offer an alternative payment method to drive incremental sales.
Quote from the client:
Ian Snead, Project Lead
"After short listing 3 Magento agencies we partnered with GPMD for our Magento related projects.
We felt confident that GPMD fulfilled these 3 key criteria: planning & process, integrity, and aptitude.
In the end GPMD delivered our product on time and on budget and we felt very much part of the entire process of which we were always kept informed (even when things did go slightly off course)."
Quote from GPMD:
Carlo Tasca, Senior Developer (Magento Certified)
"We really enjoyed working with Wonga on their PayLater module and are all really pleased with how smoothly the project went.
We worked alongside their in-house team to develop a robust Magento integration, which enables Magento retailers to allow their customers to pay over three months."

There used to be a great calculator the Army put out– you enter your years of service, total points and the multiplier and it gave you a projected pay per month for your Reserve retirement. This should be on your site– the Army has taken it down…Help the lazy folk!
"Lazy"? I appreciate you pointing this out– in the submarine force we used to call this "forceful backup". The Reserve and National Guard retirement system is complex, and figuring out your retirement pay can be even more difficult. A calculator helps you make sure that you understand your military retirement, and it can keep you from making a hasty career decision. In fact, you'd think that every service would have their own Reserve retirement calculator prominently displayed on their personnel websites.
Well, some of the services make it easy to find, some hide it behind a login, and I'm still looking for one.
You bloggers may have noticed that I used a plethora of keyword phrases in that "lazy" paragraph, because three-quarters of this blog's traffic comes from search engines. "Reserve retirement" has been a top search phrase here for over six months, so let me make this a "pillar post" that's easier for humans (and Google) to find what they're looking for. I'll break it down by keyword service and tell you what I know of their latest status. I'll also include the links to the other posts on this blog which explain a few details that the calculators leave out. Please correct me if you have more information, and especially if you have a common access card.

Broken Bones are a Hardcore punk band with a distinct sound that is heavily influenced by other UKHC punk bands such as Discharge, and in later cases, crossover thrash.
Broken Bones are from England and were formed by guitarist Tony "Bones" Roberts in 1983 after he left Discharge. The original lineup was Tony's brother Tezz (also a former member of Discharge) on bass, Nobby as the vocalist and drummer Bazz. Their first single release was the January 1984 "Decapitated". The follow-up single "Crucifix" was released in May 1984. Tezz left the band to join U.K.Subs and friend and roadie Hoddy took over on bass. This new line-up recorded the band's first album "Dem Bones", and toured Europe & USA.
Hoddy then left to join Conflict, and Tezz resumed bass playing duties, and the F.O.A.D. album was released.
The band then had several line-up changes with Nobby leaving to live in America and Tezz once more departing. Hoddy returned to play bass and sing. The band released the "Seeing Thru My Eyes" ep with this 3-piece line-up. Eventually the band ground to a halt.
later the band reformed once more with the original line up to record 'trader in death' a record the band cites as their best recording.
Bones reformed the band with a new line up of Cliff on drums, Quiv on vocals and Darren "Thrasher" Harris (of Exit Condition) on bass. This is where the band took a more metal turn with their music, releasing "Losing Control". Two more albums were to follow with the 12 inch release "Religion is Responsible" and another album "Stitched Up". After these albums' release, the band's touring and recording fell into remission.
In 1996 Broken Bones reformed. Bones as on guitar, Quiv on vocal, Hoddy on bass and Dave on drums. They released their first studio album in 8 years, "Without Conscience" in 2001 and in 2004, they released "Time For Anger, Not Justice". Both albums bring the band back to their roots as they play the brand of hardcore they're most well known for. They still gig and tour regularly. They were the last band to play before 2006's ill-fated British Invasion concert in San Bernardino was shut down. They played their last show with this line up supporting the UK Subs in 2010.
In 2012 Broken Bones were to reform again, this time with original member Tezz Roberts back on bass, Bones on lead guitar and also returning to the group is Karl "Egghead" Morris of The Exploited, who played on the F.O.A.D. album. New to this line-up is Jeff "JJ" Janiak on vocals from fellow Stoke-on-Trent band "Wasted Life", and Andy Dawson of "Billyclub" on drums. The band has a world tour in the works followed by a new album. The rest is yet to come........ .
Broken Bones has been cited as an influence by some of today's most prominent punk, metal and hardcore acts such as Metallica, Anthrax, Hatebreed and many more. They have also been key in the development of thrash metal (and its offshoot, crossover thrash) as bands such as Slayer have cited them as being a key influence.

The Aprilia Dorsoduro is priced competitively cheaper than Ducati's Hypermotard and KTM 990 supermoto, and still turns heads, is laden with quality parts and has clearly been designed and not just thrown together. The Aprilia Dorsoduro may not be as radical as the competition or Aprilia's marketing department would let us believe, however this does make it easy to ride, not intimidating, making the Dorsa a fun, real world, big capacity supermoto.
Watch the grouptest of the Aprilia Dorsoduro against the KTM 990SM and Ducati's Hypermotard
Watch the road test of the Aprilia Dorsoduro
The Aprilia Dorsoduro 749cc V-Twin engine has been stolen directly from Aprilia's Shiver and remains virtually unchanged apart from different fuelling and obviously the exhaust. It's down on power compared to the competition as it's only a 750, however its not half bad. Power is smooth and progressive and it sounds lovely out of those two under seat exhausts.
The Aprilia Dorsoduro's high speed stability is excellent considering the bike's dimensions. At low speed it also excels, you can really throw the bike around, it's relatively light and the supermoto riding position enables you to carve up city traffic. However the Aprilia Dorsoduro slightly on the soft side for track use, especially when compared to the competition.
There's a mode switch on the Aprilia Dorsoduro's left bar, as like their own Pegaso, which enables you to scroll through the informative screen. As well as the usual information there an additional lap timer, max speed, along with all the usual information. The Aprilia Dorsoduro also boasts an engine management switch which lets you choose between Sports, Touring or Rain mode. Compare and buy parts for the Aprilia Dorsoduro in the MCN Shop.
On face value the Aprilia Dorsoduro appears to be a quality bike, with quality components and even with a critical eye it's hard to see where Aprilia has saved costs. The engine is all new, stolen from the Shiver so as yet unproven however going on Aprilia's V-Twin history I've no reason to question its reliability.
As mentioned earlier the Aprilia Dorsoduro is cheaper than the competition and at £6649 it's reasonably priced for an exotic Italian supermoto. Its also hard to see where Aprilia have saved costs, as the Aprilia Dorsoduro still boasts quality components like huge radial Brembo brakes, side-mounted adjustable shock and a fly by wire throttle.

Okay. It was quite troublesome to get an account at the forum but I felt like I was responsible for the prospective owners of this bike.
I got an Dorsoduro 750 abs here in Taiwan about 2 weeks ago. And due to the tax law and fees here, I had to pay around 17000 USD to get this bike. Guess what happened. The bike broke at the day I bought it. The dash board keeps showing urgent service and the throttle had no reaction. Plus the oil meter was never correct. (It showed half tank at max and randomly shows from 1~3 blocks, I thought it's coz it's new so it will take some time to be correct) The bike's fuel injection system just pump some gas periodically while the throttle was dead. I've checked other forums and people said it's like the safe mode for this bike.
WTF, it happened at the first day I own it?!?!
then after a while, I restarted the bike and it's back to normal then I thought it might be fine now. The same situation just happened the next day. then the frequency of this problem just got more often until it's in the "safe mode" which is not ridable and kept showing the "urgent service" at the third day I owned it.
unfortunately, there was a long vacation here and I couldn't use my bike anymore for like 10 days. I finally managed to send it back to the dealer 2 days ago after that long vacation. The dealer told me that they can't detect any problem with the bike using Aprilla's computer, which means they can't find a way to solve it.
I spent 17000 USD on a machine that I couldn't even ride and even having a mortgage for it. On top of that, it might not even be fixed although it's a completely new bike. This is totally ridiculous.
Even if it's fixable someday in the future, I will be worrying about it's reliability like what simonpeyto said on the forum here. I don't want it to break down like that when I am riding at a high speed or in the middle of nowhere.
It is a quite powerful machine though, although I could only ride it for about 40 miles before it broke down.

I bought this bike, with 4200 miles on the clock, just out of warranty. The bike handles lovely, really one of the best bikes ive ever owned. However, i have been plagued by electrical problems, it has been in a aprilia garage for over a month now, for over a month ive been listening to excuses after excuses, and to top it off aprilia just went on holiday so no more parts for three weeks. terrible terrible terrible, wouldnt recomend one to my worst enemy. Do yourself a favour, if you want an enduro, buy a KTM 690.
17 August 2012
I have a 2010 Dorsoduro, bought from new to commute to work on, under 12k miles and still under warranty. In the time I have owned it it has broken down 6 times! Faulty air pressure sensors, faulty exhaust and an intermittent electrical problem. It has been off the road for well over 3 months due to unscheduled maintenance. Aprilia seem unable to find a permanent fix. I have escalated the complaint to Piaggio UK and they don't seem interested. Unfortunately, my experience of this bike has been absolutely horrendous and arguably very dangerous when I consider the unfortunate places it has stopped on me without warning. Sadly, I'm now at a point where I am instructing solicitors to attempt to recover a refund as I simply cannot trust this bike anymore and the inconvenience and additional expense is just to much to accept.

I love it!
The Dorso is brilliant! Sounds meaty and look ultra modern. I had one of the people i work with say it looks like something out of IRobot! I love it to bits and cant wait for its 1st service so i can rely open the taps and get the full amount of horsepower. It makes me smile every time i get on it... the only thing that makes me frown is when i look down and the fuel warning light is on AGAIN!! but hell i didn't buy it to be sensible!
Love it, love it, love it!

Love it to bits
Michael Snelling
Took the recomendation of one of the previous owners ratings and just went out and bought it in September last year. Managed to get it run in by the end of October and had great fun doing so. plenty of useable power and great fun on the local twisty A&B roads of Mid / North Wales. Would probably now wait for the 1000 before buying a new one but hope it doesn't put on too much weight.
I'm now just looking forward to a change in tyhe weather when I can get out and have some more fun.

Excellent all round bike
I have been riding the Dorso every day for the last 6 months on a daily commute. The suspension setup was crap when I first got it, I had it properly setup by H&M and it is now superb (best £200 ever spent). Brakes are awesome and really give you loads of confidence to have fun on the bike. The engine is creamy smooth and lovely to ride, dont bother with sport or rain mode, they dont do the bike justice. Quality has been superb, one minor issue with hazards coming on randomly (Italian electrics)was sorted by a replacement throttle housing under warranty. The bike turns heads, everyone loves the look and the sound, people are always aking what it is. As you can guess I love this bike, and considering the nearest rival is the Ducati HyperM at several grand more expensive, it is a steal.

Picked up my bike from Taz of Peterborough. Needed to switch the ignition mapping back from sport mode to touring for a couple of hundred miles as it was like a drag bike. My thigh muscles are now getting a work out hanging on as I'm now back to sports mode! Going out in search of the twisty roads as it's an axhilerating ride. Reccommend to anyone who loves adrenalin nut doesn't want the aching wrists & back of the super sports. Fantastick on town/b roads. Could sing it's praises more.... but I think I've made my point!? :o)

Considering a Dorsoduro?
Then buy a larger skid lid to fit the massive soppy grin inside that comes included with the Dorso. Just parted with a CBR which I loved, but the Aprillia..... wow. Tons of gutsy low torque - safe overtakes and lanes switches do not need advance notice nor changedowns, she just goes. Sit quite high - I'm 6'1" and just about have feet flat on the floor. Comfy position for those of us tired of squeezing behind a supersport screen. Nice n narrow like an off roader and unbelievably nimble, but stable. Crazy cornering.... Loves the B roads as much as the A Roads and cruising on M'ways is okay, but it isn't a journey bike as the poor fuel range limits you (100 miles or so). Great spec, beefy brakes, decent headlight. Not great for passengers but Supermotos aren't. Find myself going out for mid-week rides still like I did when I got my first ped! Treated myself to rubber pegs to kill some vibration and will treat myself to the gel saddle as the padding is a bit skimpy. Try one and I bet you buy one!

Draconian Censorship Push In South Australia

Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough, if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this is done on the Internet.
The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into cyber-aero-space for awhile.
Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always welcome, as well.
You'll want to tell your non-pilot friends about this one as well. An interactive map tied to an FAA database that gives you information about flight delays at most of the major airports around the country, and why those delays are occuring. A service provided by the FAA that it's very likely most of the flying public doesn't know about.

ESPN is making their way through the Madden 12 player rankings and recently highlighted the game's top five wide receivers. Not surprisingly, Calvin Johnson made the cut. His 93 overall rating puts him in a tie for fifth best with Greg Jennings.
Jon Robinson includes the following note:
If there's a young player out there who gamers can look to in order to replace Randy Moss as that freakish receiver in "Madden," it's Calvin Johnson. The kid's numbers are just sick: 95 speed, 94 acceleration, 96 agility, 99 jumping, 97 spectacular catch, 89 catch in traffic, 86 route running, 87 spin, 90 juke. Man, the Lions are going to be fun to play as this year.
The only receivers in Madden 12 to rate higher than Calvin are Reggie Wayne (95), Roddy White (96), Larry Fitzgerald (96) and Andre Johnson (97). Ratings are subject to change through various roster updates that EA Sports provides during the season so it will be interesting to see where CJ finishes.

With one of the more important presidential elections of a lifetime a mere six weeks away, the lines of demarcation between liberals and conservatives seems wider and deeper than ever. Perhaps it is because the lion's share of my daily reading is of material and from authors supportive of conservative principles that I just don't objectively understand how the liberal mind works. With what little liberal copy I do read, I hear that those of us on the conservative side of the line are filled with hatred, not just for the Obama regime but for the American people and our nation. We are labeled as intolerant, old fashioned, inflexible, misogynistic zealots driven solely by profits and wealth while using religious and moral hypocrisy to justify our objectives. The truth about the foundation of our core beliefs is never mentioned. We are likened to fascists and heartless, profit-seeking opportunists.

A former business partner, long ago deceased, told me, then a young lawyer, that if something was logical or made sense, he could understand it. I did not realize at the time that there was much greater depth to that observation than I thought upon first hearing it. Over the course of practicing law and mediating disagreements for some 23 years, I negotiated countless settlements of all kinds of disputes and lawsuits. One of the guiding principles I discovered in order for something to be acceptable to either side was that there has to be objective evidence of its existence. That is known as objective fairness. There has to be some basis in law, fact, or nature for something to be believable and acceptable.
A claim for loss of income for example must be supported by some form of evidence that substantiates one's inability to perform a certain type of work for a defined period of time. A mere claim that someone was injured and could not work, without documentation, is worthless. Substantiation might come from historical evidence. How much was this person earning before the injury? And what do others similarly employed earn and gain over time? Once cannot hope to earn a certain amount and demonstrate a compensable award; nor can the claimant offer an experiment in supporting such a demand.
This is the manner in which conservative political analysis proceeds. The statistics and facts regarding unemployment, deficit spending, and even our nation's credit rating bear out the failure of the current administration. Natural law guides us to understand that certain human behavior and choices are unacceptable and non-negotiable.
For liberals, everything is negotiable, from one's choice of gender to determining the beginning or end of a life. It is inconceivable to think how one could operate a business or maintain a loving and functional family where some individuals believe everything is negotiable and subject to change, expansion, and unlimited progression. But liberals have no issue with unpredictability and increased governmental intrusions because they long for a political nanny state.

Natural change may be an unavoidable fact of life, but not for politics and government. I use the adjective "natural" to distinguish events in our lives that are beyond our control, like the death of a loved one or an unpreventable medical illness. Granted, progressive ideas have given women and other formerly excluded minorities the right to vote and more, much more. Medicare and Social Security are likewise rooted in progressive thinking. Progress has its place in science, medicine, and projects at large, but not in government. Government should progress in providing what is essentially mandated by our Constitution and not by expanding in size and scope in our daily lives. The more the government provides, the more beholden we are to it instead of the other way around, which is as it should be.
