The Radio Hall of Fame Is a Joke
Howard read a letter from the Radio Hall of Fame in Chicago that said he'd been nominated in the 'Active National' category: "It's so insulting at this point…I'm the most important guy in radio—in the history of radio."
Howard went over the list of his no-name co-nominees: "This is insulting! I can't even tell you how insulting this is…I'm not being pompous or egotistical. I just know I'm the best."
Howard begged the audience: "Please do not vote for me…I do not want to be voted for. I would be embarrassed to win this."

Countries that are monitoring those that travel in and out of their airports, or across their borders by land or sea, often have a system in place. In Canada, it's called the eTA system, whereas in the United States it is the ESTA. These programs were developed for this express purpose of making sure that they knew who was going in and out of their countries. In Europe, there are sections of the European Union that do not require visas at all. This is called the Schengen Area. However, things are changing and it has now been proposed that the European Travel Information and Authorization System will be implemented. Here are the benefits of the ETIAS Europe system that will soon be monitoring people's activities in these European countries.
How The System Works
The ETIAS Europe system is going to require people to get a visa, similar to what the US and Canada have in place right now. They will only be allowed to get one if they originate from a country that is on a good list. Countries that are not on this list will have citizens that cannot come into any of the countries that are part of the EU. By doing this, they can effectively track where people are coming from, where they are going, and thus monitor the movements of individuals whether they are working or if they are a tourist.
Will It Be As Effective As The Other Programs?
How effective this will be will depend upon the execution of the system itself. It needs to be high-tech, similar to the others. It will effectively attach a travel visa to the passport of those that will be going into these countries in the EU Schengen Zone. Although this will not apply to the UK or Ireland because they use their own system, it is still going to be helpful. Once in place, it may help track down people that should not be in these European countries, and keep everyone else safe.

In this day and age where life flickers in 140 characters or less, chances are no one is going to read your blog posts…or mine.
Additionally, many social media mediums – such as Twitter – may not have metrics installed to monitor the effectiveness of a mention. Thus, links to blog posts or websites are helpful. The following are some tips on making effective blog post titles!
1. Content is king – make sure that your content is catered for your target audience. Sometimes I write the content first, then come up with a catchy title afterward, but that's not always suggested.
2. Solve a problem, give advice, provide value – if the post brings relevance to an issue faced by your readers, then it will be many more times compelling. A snappy title of such would start like "How To…"
3. Lists – this blog post title is an example, "8 Ways To Write Effective Blog Post Titles". When there is a list, such as "Top 10 Ways To…" there is structure. No one is in for a surprise.
When readers find it an achievable goal, they can see the light at the end of the tunnel before even trekking down it. My previous blog post regarding "4 Reasons Why The Wedding Industry Is Changing" is another example.
4. Keep it simple and direct – get to the point with adequate information (avoid being flowery, poetic, creative or cryptic). For good examples, visit your local mall and see how stores get your attention in short spurts – "Entire Store 40% Off"
5. Make comparisons – readers always enjoy reading different perspectives on what the writer perceives as "better" or "best." For example, my post on "Blogging vs. Twitter vs. Facebook".
6. Do not oversell – if the content does not reflect the title (even if compelling), then readers are very likely to defect and potentially never to return, unsubscribe from a mailing list, unfollow on Twitter and unsubscribe from Facebook.
7. Personalize it – let your personal flair shine through (i.e.: Jane and Jack are Like Rabbits – Carrot Themed Wedding) rather than using conventional titles (i.e.: Wedding: Jane and Jack).
8. Powerful words (mostly adjectives) – use words such as secrets, free, easy, sexy, handy and etc. are always catchy for readers. Watch some late night infomercials!
Case Studies
I tested a variety of ways to write titles and monitored the percentage of people who open my email blasts. Whenever I use the aforementioned, I am almost certain that my open rate is average 15% higher…that's a lot! In retrospect, I feel bad for some of my "sacrificed" posts that did not receive its due attention.
One that I highly recommend reading is my post on indelible impressions, "Girl in the Green Scarf". If I rewrote it, it could have been titled something like "3 Ways to Make Sure Your Clients Think of You FIRST", right?
Learn From Others
Sometimes, I subscribe to various companies via email – Anthropologie being one of them – because I like to see how they title their email blasts. If they compel me to open it, then they did a good job! I then break it down and try to execute it in my own work.
Another good source is Guy Kawasaki on Twitter. He posts about random news and uses provoking sentences to encourage further reading. Check out some of them below.
I did not give many blog post title examples for photographers. I am a firm believer of proactive thinking because if you can think of it on your own, you will own the knowledge. However, a discussion via comments below is equally affirming. How will you use this knowledge?

P.S. Activia is evil. I ate some because it was featured on "Big Bang Theory" this week and it was such a terrible idea… My stomach is still rumbling as I compose this blog post on my plane to Denver. Do you see my dedication to Tofurious readers? :o)

I am sorry that you think that I'm not working hard enough. Probably, you are right.
Maybe I am not working hard enough. Maybe I am procrastinating more. Maybe I am not up to your standard.
And I'm sorry.
But trust me. I'll try. I'll try again and again and again to be better, to be more efficient, to be more hard working.
But my body has rights. It has rights over me. It has rights over the amount of rest it gets.
Sometimes I am just tired and you can't blame me for that.
But trust me, I'll try.

Ringling Bros. says goodbye
Last Hurrah for the Dazzling Business of the Circus
Ready to pack it in after 146 years, Ringling Bros. brings its Greatest Show on Earth to Barclays Center one more time. What killed the big top?
Brooklyn dwellers dreaming of quitting their jobs and running away to the circus will have to find another escape.
The circus is dead.
In January, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus announced that the current season of their self-proclaimed Greatest Show on Earth would be its last. The reason, of course, was business. Isn't it always? After years of conflict with PETA and other animal rights organizations, the 146-year-old institution removed—some say, set free—the live elephants used in the shows. But one step forward for animal safety is apparently two steps back on the balance sheet. The kids stopped coming.

Yamaha Scooter in Gymkhana madness
I hope you dont get dizzy easily, as this great video shows just what you can do with a lightweight scooter and a little light leaning.
This is a real show for those that know how difficult it is to properly maneuver such a model around in tight spaces. The rider probably doesn't go more than 50 meters from the start line but he certainly travels the distance, dipping and diving around very tight corners in some style. An impressive display that reminds us all that the way to cut through city traffic is to get our hands on one of these.

Violet eyes gazed out the viewport at the bleak industrial world of Chandaar.
Zarah had vanished, and the aunt who had terrorized the both of them, murdered. Rumors suggested that her cousin was responsible for the Queens death, a guilty conscious driving her to self-exile.
Her and Dahlias imprisonment swam before her eyes, Dahlias writhing and suffering, and Zarahs euphoric expression through it. Merciless in the face of weakness, but she would not have acted without the power to secure her own position. The same crave that Airael had for her Fathers throne, was shared in the eyes of her daughter. No...Zarah was not responsible for this, of that she was certain.
Though she could see why others might believe it. Looking over all that had happened before now, her aunt and Zarah had truly been Dragons, hoarding what they believed belonged to them. Coveting their stolen crowns and cutting away anything that made them appear weak.
Chiara often wondered; would she be the same if shed grown up on Chandaar? It was difficult to say. She did not truly remember the world where she was born, it was a foreign land to her. Words and pictures in a book that influenced her little. Sometimes she would imagine the way things might have been, tried to remember the faces of her mother and father before shed been ripped from the parapet when Airaels army reached the city gates. Xander remarked once that she looked like her mother, and others who knew her parents had said she was the kindred spirit of her father. Chiara had no way of knowing if this was true or not. They were dead, and Airael had tried to have all memory of them scrubbed clean from history - even going as far as attempting to have her niece murdered, on more than one occasion.
She had failed, and the daughter of Tarion and Aurelia was returning at long last. The last Viren, the last of the Dragons blood.
Still, Chiara was not naive enough to expect a welcome reception. Someone was responsible for the murder of her aunt and the disappearance of her cousin. Perhaps for the motive of gaining a higher position themselves. Perhaps to make way for another. Either way, she knew she could not walk in and lay claims without expecting any sort of resistance.
But she was not entirely alone, either.
On the soil of her birthplace, he waited for her.

Where does the CMTO fit into the Agency World?
November 7, 2017
If you've been around major league baseball sometime in the last two decades, you've probably known or heard of the legendary Yankees closer, Mariano Rivera. For those who don't know baseball, a closer is a type of pitcher who you need on your team to secure your win at the end of the game. Each time Mariano took to the field, the stadium would roar and the Metallica song, "Enter Sandman" would blast. Mariano was the closer that teams wanted because he was one of, if not the best man for the job.
Enter the Chief Marketing Technology Officer (CMTO), or Chief Marketing Technologist, the Mariano Rivera of marketing teams. This is the position that you've been hearing about for the last few years. The role every Fortune 500 Company has been staffing up for in order to begin the process of "Digital Transformation" for their companies. They're the ones that are a hybrid of the CTO and the CMO, understanding both roles, capable of doing "all the jobs", and completing all the ever evolving marketing initiatives on time, even under immense pressure to understand the already overwhelming martech landscape (5600+ martech products!) which continues to grow at a rapid rate.
Because of this new pressure in the industry to go "digital", budgets are more focused on keeping up with existing and new competitors and "staying relevant," rather than on typical marketing spends. Gone are the days of throwing **** at the wall and seeing if it sticks. Business and marketing decisions are founded on sound evidence and driven by business intelligence tools, marketing analytics suites, and seas of information provided by DMPs, CDPs, and the many new martech tools flooding the space.
Where do CMTOs fit in with a traditional agency model?
For so long agencies have been the ones that have helped drive innovation and push the brand forward through customer engagement. The focus of the CMTO, much like the agency, is the customer, but at a much different vantage point. The customer journey is no longer at a single mobile touchpoint or brand website, but across many different touchpoints in the customer's path: digital and physical, online and offline, desktop and mobile. This omnichannel journey is one that the CMTO understands both from the customer engagement perspective and the marketing technology side, and connecting the dots is the challenge they've come to help marketing and technology teams conquer.
Agencies need to shift their thinking in order to stay relevant and to keep moving forward. Here are some things you should do when navigating this move.
Help ease the pressure on the CMTO
Again, the CMTO is being brought in to help the organization with their digital transformation strategy, or to create that strategy. Help them by learning about the pressure points of the organization and the places where the CMTO will be trying to attack first.
- Does the organization have the proper technology implemented/integrated?
- Are they able to collect and analyze data?
- What systems are they going to need in place to help them transform?
Find a capable technology partner
Having the right technology partner is imperative to the success of the CMTO. Many organizations may have internal IT groups who've been charged with fixing, integrating, and hacking existing systems in order to do what they've needed to get done for years. Some of these systems are so overly complex that there's been a lot of blood, sweat, and tears shed over them, making it difficult to think of other solutions to replace these "precious" pieces of software.
Find a technology partner that will weigh the pros and cons equally, and have an unbiased view. Marketing technology options, according to Scott Brinker the "Chief of MarTech," have grown by over 39 percent over the last year. Sounds overwhelming right? Well… it is. Find a partner that will navigate this sea of technology for you. Finally find a partner who delivers. Nothing is worse than investing a lot of money, time, and energy into solutions that never see the light of day. Find someone who is successful, has proven experience, and will ultimately make you and your agency look like rockstars.
Understand the business as a whole
As agencies/partners, we often get brought into a single business unit and are asked to design and/or build a solution for a small part of a brand with little or no exposure to the many other moving parts. Working in silos is not only ineffective, it can be detrimental as decisions made may impact other areas of the business in negative ways. Taking a step back to see how strategic decisions may impact other areas of the brand's business is our recommendation to prevent issues from arising, and to create a more cohesive brand experience. Ask things like: How can our solutions help various business units within the company? How can they bring cohesion and control to what is typically a chaotic workflow, or martech stack?
Figure out the new role of your agency
To reiterate everything I've said already, the agency landscape has changed and so must your organization if it's going to survive. CMTO organizations don't care about your Cannes, Mashie, or Webby awards. They want and need to interact with their customers on an entirely different playing field. How are you going to do that for them?
GeekHive, founded in 1997, is a leading domestic MarTech Enablement partner. We know what it takes to create a successful digital program from strategy to implementation to ongoing refinement and support and we love nothing more than coming up with technical solutions and strategies to solve the complex MarTech puzzles our clients face. When failure isn't an option, our partners count on us, and we make it our personal mission to exceed their expectations, every time.

It's almost impossible to do this task without modifying your behaviour in some way, however slight. This afternoon I had to get some bits for work. Rather than just pulling up in the Pay & Display car park that I normally use, I took a different route so I could see if there was any free kerbside parking available nearby. I normally only do this if I'm feeling particularly brassic. Today I didn't feel hard pressed, but it seems that writing down every penny that comes out of my purse is making me uber-conscious of where those pennies go. So where did they fly to on 8th August?
£20 to my mum as I owed her for some vintage magazines I'd picked up recently – this was the remains of my birthday money
£10 extra contribution to my friend's baby's collection; I put it in on behalf of someone else, who'll pay me back when they see me next
£3 on some bits and pieces for work, which I'll also get back
'Neither a borrower nor a lender be' was the advice given in Hamlet, but I've managed to be both in the space of an hour or so. I just hope that some tragic Shakespearian fate doesn't now befall me, or my finances.

MUNICH — (MunichNOW Oktoberfest 2017) — Rick Steves shot an entire episode of his well-known travel series at Oktoberfest 2016. He came back this year at the tail end of the Fest for a more recreational visit. He relates his tale here in this just-released video.
"On my last night in Europe this year, I enjoyed the mother of all keggers: Oktoberfest. In this clip, I take a break from my pork knuckle (with fresh horseradish sprinkled on top and sitting on a delicious bed of mashed potatoes and sauerkraut) to stand up and savor the fun all around me.
My crew and I walked home that evening marveling at the joy we had just experienced. I'd been so focused on the ugly and tragic story of fascism in 20th-century Europe (we just filmed a TV special about it), that I actually wished I could have made Adolf Hitler walk with me there, that evening, and seen his reaction to the scene: Bavarian culture high and low (lederhosen pulled up high and dirndl blouses plunging enticingly low) coexisting with a happy racial kaleidoscope of humanity — right there in the city where, just under a hundred years ago, his evil movement first mobilized fear and hatred to hijack Germany's heart.
Under that big, big tent (one of a dozen that each hosted thousands of happy partiers), people from around the world were one — celebrating Germany, celebrating great beer, and (while many of them likely didn't realize it) celebrating peace and freedom too. Prost!"

"Four hundred million more plastic bags were handed out by supermarkets last year, as the campaign to reduce their use went backwards, official figures from the waste reduction body Wrap showed today.
"Shoppers in the UK used 7.96 billion single-use bags in 2011, a rise of 5.4 per cent on the previous year - with each person taking 10 throwaway carriers a month.
"Plastic bag use rose steeply across most of the UK but in Wales, which introduced a 5p charge per bag last October, it fell by 22 per cent."

A Charity Evening for Headway - The Brain Injury Association
When it came to organising this Charity evening I reflected on all the great acts that have played for us at Wokingham Music Club and I thought for our 1st Charity Gig that we should have the band that started it all for us in April 2012. Never The Bride.
They are not only lovely people to work with, but they are in my opinion the best band touring today but don't take my word for it. Here are a few quotes from people who rate Never The Bride as highly as I do
"Nikki Lamborn has the best female rock voice since Janis Joplin." • ROGER DALTREY -
"These women exude their souls in their music and lyrics" • BLUES IN BRITAIN •
"One of the best live bands in Britain." • BOB HARRIS, BBC Radio 2 •
Shirley Bassey is such a huge fan of Never The Bride that she introduced them to her audience at a show she did in 2007. That was no ordinary show. That was the main stage at Glastonbury Festival and the audience was 200,000 strong. Tonight, you will have an opportunity to experience this hugely talented act in the intimate atmosphere of the Whitty Theatre
Support acts Matthew Quilliam Band and Bracknell based singer songwriter Horizon
Venue The Whitty Theatre
Tickets in advance £16.00 from www.ticketsource.co.uk/wokinghammusicclub

Turning this into a harem series now, are we?
So… What happened to making the parents look their age the next time they showed up?
still not good eh, hmm back to the drawing board
I think they look a lot better. GIven some more age worthy features they would be fine.
Adding a bit of facial hair to the guy doesn't make the two of them look older. Literally nothing else has changed.
dude, seriously, quit complaining, just enjoy the damn comic
How about you not get so angry and defensive over a bit of critique that's actually helping Godai want to improve?
you could tell him the change isn't all that noticeable, because I see quite a bit of change actually, the guy's face is longer and he has a bit of chin stubble now, so you can't say "literally nothing has changed"
I pointed out the stubble, I said nothing ELSE has changed besides that. Which is true. He looks no different, the stubble makes him look absolutely no older.
didnt she tell her husband to grow facial hair due he looked to young to be his real age and she was always getting comments that she was rocking the crib when they commented on her age compared to him to her?
he starting to look slightly older
They look literally no different than last time, except for the dad's stubble.
Honestly I rather like the way they look.
It's gonna be bad news when quick tells them he's dating Chrissy.
that is if he is given the chance to do so considering their mind set and attention span
yeah if he's not careful they'll be married before he can speak.
Shit didn't just hit the fan.
A dump-truck of shit was just poured into an industrial sized fan.
big time understatement the way Quick's mom is carrying on
wait what in the world just happend?
Quick n Jazmin just got automatically paired up and they aren't getting a chance to properly explain themselves,
this is not going to end well if their "issues" aren't cleared up
yep.. they did making the entire arc about quick Crissy breaking up seem invalid after all this and what jazmin told crissy about not waiting next time it seems the parents have decide that jazmin and quick are already the couple theyre not.. cant wait for either quick or jazmin to break it to the parents and or wait for crissy to tell them she with quick again.. whatever going to happen its going to be major let down for someone and hurt someone feelings in the process
yes and the problem there is letting the parents know the real issue without #1 insulting the parent and daughter in the process #2 remaining friends and in good terms with both parties (his parents and Jazmin and her Mother) without complicating things and not giving a wrong impression (like why wouldnt Jazmin be his girlfriend n such)
Welp, Quick better start packing his bags. Cause the trip to the great beyond is a long bitch of a ride.
oh god I don't know which mother is more embarrassing XD
Oh parents. . . They are the lulz with their fun and embarrassing ways.
Good luck on the move. I hope it goes smoothy!
I am guessing that Jasmine will go along with the charade for the remainder of the day, then quietly reveal the truth to her mother. What may be a problem, is, how will her mother handle it? Maybe she'll begin a confrontation with Quick later on, asking why her daughter isn't good enough for him.
And Quick will need to sort the facts with his parents. Maybe his mother won't be happy with being told the truth, now that she has her own visions of grandchildren being born. Chrissy may be confronted by his parent's that she isn't good enough for their son. How that will go, we won't know, in part, because we know so little about Chrissy's background.
you bring up some very interesting valid points friend, but in the end more or less everything will work out properly just not as smoothly nor as easy as we think.
I'm not sure 'everything' will work out for the best, considering, for whom? Chrissy's emotional insecurities are well established. Possible she may abandon him again; i don't think Quick will have the wherewithal to endure being separated again. And Jaz was adamant that if Chrissy dropped Quick once more, she'll do her best to be in a functional relationship with him.
What the bloody hell is going on here?
(0_0) WOW they're good at jumping to conclusions. Wonder what they 're reactions will be to finding out they've got it wrong?
wrong you say? to them they won't see it as getting it wrong
to Quick's dad it won't be nor to Mrs Usagi they are looking forward to it in their views
I just noticed that mama Usagi has no right ear. Unless its hidden.
she lost her right ear somehow
All mentioned in Rascals Goyoku eventually since that is a story of their past.
which they will hopefully update soon
good this is a ship I like
Why did you go back to Chrissy Quick? Both your parents are givining you the best reasons to get together.
poor quick he wasn't quick enough to runaway from a loosing batle
(0_0) wow, Quick's mom is a Master of jumping to conclusions. Things are gonna get reeeeeally awkward when they find out they've got it wrong.
she just goes ahead and grabs the ninja's hips after acusing her of sleeping with someone… im suprised jasmin didnt get violent

- Solder I2C resistors (optional)
- Solder LED components (MOSFET and resistors) (optional)
- Solder Pro Micro header pins

Solder Components
The diodes, resistors, MOSFETs, push buttons, TRRS jacks,, and Pro Micro header pins can be soldered in any order.
Solder diodes
All the diodes are oriented with the line towards the bottom. All the resistors are oriented horizontally, direction doesn't matter. The PCB supports both SMD and through-hole diodes and resistors, SMD ones are shown here. For through hole diodes, the black line will be at the bottom, towards the square pad.
Through-hole resistors shown here, note that the black line on the diodes are all facing down at the square pad.
Solder reset push buttons and TRRS jacks
Info about resistors in the kit
The color coded lines on the resistors can be hard to read/decipher, so the paper from the tape reel have been marked with different color lines.
- No Line - 4.7kΩ resistors for I2C (only used on master half)
- Blue Line - 100kΩ resistors for MOSFET (1 for each half)
- Red Line - 100Ω resistors for MOSFET (1 for each half)Some of the PCB kits may have these unlabeled resistors instead of the ones in the previous picture. Here's how to distinguish between them by looking at the bands:
Solder I2C resistors (optional)
The default firmware for the Iris uses serial communication between the two halves using a single pin of the TRRS cable. Serial communication only allow for communication between two parts, which is fine for almost all builds.
However, in the future, there might be additional parts that you can add, like a numpad, OLED screen, etc. To support this, the communication protocol would need to be switched over I2C, which can support multiple devices. To add support for I2C, all you need to do is add the 2 4.7kΩ resistors to one of the halves (other half does not need them). Also, it doesn't hurt to add these resistors if using serial communication.
tl;dr: Adding this is optional, but you might as well do it as it's only 2 more components to solder.
Left half shown here:
Right half, note that the two spot for the 4.7kΩ resistors are left empty:
Solder LED support components (optional)
For each half, add 1 MOSFET, 100Ω resistor, and 100kΩ resistor.
To solder the MOSET on, first add a little bit of solder to one of the pads on the PCB. Then position the MOSFET over the pads and heat up the pad to solder the first leg into place. It helps to use a pair of tweezers to hold the MOSFET and position it while heating up the pad.
Once the first leg of the MOSFET has been positioned properly, solder the other 2 pads.
Next, add all of the resistors for each switch. 470Ω resistors are commonly used, but this value might vary, based on the LEDs you use and the amount of current they draw.
Solder the resistor in the area of the Pro Micro on the other side (top side), so it is out of the way of the Pro Micro when you install it. Alternatively, you can just install all of the resistors on the top side.
Lone resistor soldered on the top side.

[With Great Power] The Vigiles Revisited
November 22, 2005, 10:17:26 AM »
I've owed Michael another actual play post about my With Great Power game for a while now. Here's the
I started after our first session.
Last week we had our seventh session of our game. It was the second issue of the second story arc (our new Struggle is Personal Needs vs. Responsibility).
The first thing I'll note is that With Great Power is a game that really needs to be played over time to be fully appreciated. It makes great one-shots (I've run a few at cons), but the real reward in With Great Power is watching the characters and their aspects evolve over time in response to the Struggle they face.
Rob's character, Monolith, is a perfect example of this. At the end of our first story arc, Rob had devastated four aspects in the fight against the sinister villain Cabal and the alien Mumbral Hive. One of those aspects was his Power: Body of Obsidian. In the scene in which he devastated it, he was struggling to hold up Grand Central Terminal as massive explosions rocked the tunnels underneath and the whole block began to collapse. Now, the Body of Obsidian aspect was only of Municipal Scale. It normally wouldn't be able to handle something like this. But Rob devastated the aspect and narrated Monolith melding with the earth and causing columns of rock to erupt and hold up GCT. This would totally change his character, and lead to some awesome moments of play in the second story arc.
After we finished the story arc, it was time to discuss how the heroes' devastated aspects would be changed. Rob decided that Body of Obsidian would become Avatar of the Earth (National...though it may end up Global!). Cool! And it laid the foundation four our next story arc. After everyone adjusted their devastated aspects on the Scratch Pad, we had another session in which we settled on a new Struggle (Personal Needs vs. Responsibility). New items were added to the Scratch Pad. Among the most fun: Rob added Identity: Leader of the Vigiles and Power: The Tower of Vigilance to Monolith; Dina added Duty: Keep My Friend Monolith Grounded in Humanity to Download; and Phredd added Power: Freddie Prinze the Frog-Dog Demon (a vicious spirit that had been sent after the group by Cabal before Phredd's character tamed it) to Blackwater.
With all sorts of new stuff on the Scratch Pads, it was time to create new character sheets. A new character sheet for each story arc is one of the aspects of With Great Power that I just love. It's a very tactile way of saying "yes, all that stuff on the Scratch Pad is still my character, but these six things are the only things that are really important to this Struggle...cough... premise!... cough."
And dividing the aspects to a side of the character sheet based on which side of the Struggle they're associated with is just perfect. Even when players make choices in the game without reflecting on how that choice aims back at the Struggle, they really can't help but make a thematic statement about it. It's just about hard-coded.
Anyway, the new setup had some powerful juice. I created two new villains to target the heroes. One was Simon Fox, US Attorney for the District of New York, who claims The Vigiles are a danger to the city. It doesn't hurt that he is also Lord Kelvin, the Master of Cold, who wants to get rid of them so they can't disturb his super villainy. One of the aspects that Fox is targeting is Download's Duty: Keep My Friend Monolith Grounded in Humanity. He wants to see Monolith become an inhuman monster without friends so he can destroy The Vigiles. My other villain is Papa Sanglant, a voodoo crime boss based on a favorite villain from Hellblazer. He's noticed a couple of new gods have popped up in New York recently (like a certain Avatar of the Earth), and he wants to enslave them.
My strategy going in was to play up the media scrutiny, a vicious smear campaign run by Fox, and the issue of celebrity, making it difficult for the characters to have normal lives.
This leads me to another interesting find. I think the natural inclination with a game like With Great Power, especially for someone familiar with HeroQuest or The Shadow of Yesterday, is to assume that the Conflict Scenes are the really important ones, and the Enrichment Scenes add color and spice but are simply set up for the Conflict Scenes. In fact, my experience has been that the Stakes in Enrichment Scenes are the Stakes that the players tend to care the MOST about.
The second scene of this story arc had Monolith (Rob) and Lightbringer (Kevin) raiding a Trinitech Lab upstate. Trinitech had been a cover for the Mumbral Hive in our first story arc, and Rob was determined to wipe out the stain. We set the stakes.
Rob decided that if Monolith won, then he would find evidence of future plots of evil things the Mumbral Hive had planned. I played the Scientists working at the lab, and decided that my stakes were that if I won, there was no evidence that this lab had been involved in anything shady and the raid itself was unnecessary. Kevin decided that if Lightbringer won, he would find evidence that OTHER Trinitech labs were involved in nefarious schemes (just not this one, as it was covered by Rob's stakes). I decided that if the Scientists won, there would be no evidence to support any wrongdoing.
I won against Rob, but lost to Kevin. So this particular lab was clean, but there was evidence of wrongdoing elsewhere.
This led directly to my first villain Enrichment Scene, in which Simon Fox tried to denounce the vigilante actions of The Vigiles in a press conference, in which he showed footage their reckless destruction of a scientific laboratory. My stakes were that Simon Fox starts a media frenzy against The Vigiles. If I lost, the talking heads would claim that Fox was on a witch hunt and give no merit to his accusations. I lost that one, and Fox was denounced!
This in turn, led to our first Conflict Scene, in which Fox, as Lord Kelvin, raided the Federal Reserve Bank. In this scene, I managed to win against all the participants. I successfully robbed the bank, humiliated Download on television, and caused massive property damage. Suddenly, the reputation of The Vigiles was in jeopardy.
Now here's where the Enrichment Scenes showed their true colors. Rob decided that Monolith needed to find the stolen gold in order to repair The Vigiles' reputation after its crushing televised defeat. He describes how Monolith uses his connection to the earth to sense the massive quantity of gold. Monolith actually sunk into the ground and extended his consciousness through the earth.
Rob's stakes were that he would sense the location of the gold bars. My stakes were that Monolith would meld a little bit more with the "primal" and lose a bit of his humanity. Tie! Time to raise the stakes. Rob raised the stakes to being able to extend his senses through the gold to perceive the villain. I raised the stakes to Monolith "losing track" of his flesh body, and being unable to revert to it (temporarily of course). Rob was so enamored with this result that he deliberately played low into the conflict in order to lose.
In our most recent session, we revisited that conflict when Rob made returning to his fleshy form the stakes for an Enrichment Scene. My stakes were that not only would he not revert, but he would forget what his human form looked like! Rob actually won that one!
That's not to say you can't have really strong, high stakes in Conflict Scenes too. It's just that Enrichment Scenes tend to be more personal.
My next post will deal with adding another player to a With Great Power group, which can be a bit difficult unless you do it between story arcs. But I came up with a solution that everyone's been happy with...

Dang. I
want to try this game, but there's just no time in my schedule. Thor, I thought the play write-ups on nerdnyc were very entertaining, and if that's a typical result with this game (as opposed to great GM'ing and playing!) then I definitely need to give it a look.
That whole Issue business is so sharp. Looking back on a bunch of other supers games, it seems like that's what's missing--that thematic oomph. It wouldn't even have to be in the rules; it could be written into the advice section. But it's a key part of the genre.

Thanks James! Everyone's been having a blast.
When you say Issues, are you referring to "an issue of a comic," or are you referring to The Struggle (like Personal Needs vs. Responsibility)?
Assuming you meant the former:
The Synopsis Sheets (which I mentioned in the first thread) really focus the Issues like nothing else. My players have taken to rotating who is responsible for filling in the Synopsis Sheets as we play, and then posting them to the boards (as you've read). After using them for a while now, I want to use something similar with every conflict resolution game I play.
The act of verbalizing your Intent/Stakes to the point where someone else can write them down has become hugely important. For one thing, there's no way to enter a conflict without nailing down the stakes. I'm hugely conscious of intent and stakes, but in my Burning Wheel games, I sometimes find that we've embroiled the group in a conflict without nailing down our stakes. Essentially, we get so excited that we just assume that we all know what the stakes are. And then when the dice have been rolled and we're trying to set the consequences, we realize that we failed to set stakes. That NEVER happens in With Great Power because of the Synopsis Sheet.
It also makes the penciling, inking and coloring aspect of the game much easier, because everyone stays fully conversant with everyone else's stakes.
Finally, it creates a wonderful record of the important stuff that happened in a session. And that's really what helps keep the individual issues distinct, and helps it feel like an issue of a comic.

Hi Rafial. You find the thread
. All the synopsis sheets except the last one should be posted there. The thread does tend to ramble a bit though.

After reading this thread, I almost went and bought the game, and refrained from doing so because I'm fearful that if I do I'll stop playing the game I am already playing. But then I realized that the game I am currently playing is, in fact, a superhero game! So, I guess I'm now morally bound to get it. ;)

Ok, so, newcomer to the game. One of my friends, Tim, is one of the organizers for the Gotham Gaming Guild. It's a lot of work. They select the dates, get the GMs to submit games, get everyone registered for a campaign, rent a space at 440 Studios and generally keep everything running. Well, Tim was so busy organizing that when signup day came, he didn't get into a game! d'oh!
I didn't realize this until we'd already had several sessions. When I did, I invited him to join us. And then I realized that doing so is a tricky proposition in With Great Power once a story is underway. If he creates a new hero, then none of my villains' Plans are taking his Strife Aspect into consideration. Also, he hasn't been Suffering like the rest of the characters. The more I looked at it, the less fair it seemed to the other players to let him join as a hero. So I gave him one of my villains!
Tim started playing RuneQuest way back in the day. Unlike many gamers, his first experience with D&D/AD&D was in college. he still plays D&D regularly with his group, but none of them seem particularly excited by D&D anymore and they may be shopping around for a change. Tim's real love when it comes to RPGs is Cyberpunk 2020, and judging by the responses of people that have played in his Cyberpunk one-shots at our Recess game days, he runs a really mean game. Anyway, while Tim had a blast playing in a Burning Wheel campaign Pete (taepoong) ran earlier this year, he hasn't had a tremendous amount of exposure to indie games.
Tim was excited by my villain Simon Fox (aka Lord Kelvin), so the day of the game, I met him for lunch and showed him a copy of Lord Kelvin's character sheet. I also discussed the plan I had developed for Lord Kelvin (sketchily). Tim was very excited by what he saw.
That night, I took three minutes to explain the intricacies of With Great Power cardplay to Tim. Then we jumped into an Enrichment Scene and then a Conflict Scene. I just handed Tim my hand of cards when Lord Kelvin was about and spent my GMing by helping everyone set stakes and develop color. And I also played my other villain, Papa Sanglant.
Tim took like it to a duck to water. Lord Kelvin quickly became the kind of over-the-top villain I could only dream about (the best way I can describe it is to explain that as soon as Tim took over, US Attorney Simon Fox suddenly had a comb-over). He also whupped three of the heroes in a Conflict Scene right off the bat.
Anyway, the really exciting thing for me is that even though Tim is not up on RPG theory, doesn't know anything about stances or creative agenda, or whatnot, he understood comic books. And with only the Struggle, a sheet of character aspects, and stakes, he totally grokked the game and how to play it in a narrativist fashion. It was what he'd always wanted from a super hero game.
The scene that made my jaw drop:
The last session had ended with Lord Kelvin blowing through the wall of the Tower of Vigilance, and catching the heroes off guard as they were discussing something around the table. This was the villain catching the heroes unprepared at their base at its best. In the midst of the conflict scene Dina had Download escalate the conflict by calling in the press (her stakes were to become leader of The Vigiles, and I think Rob had stakes that involved making Monolith look good in the court of public opinion. Tim had set his stakes against Rob as making Monolith look like a monster.).
So Tim, as Lord Kelvin, is facing off against Rob (Monolith) on this particular page. And the press corps has arrived. Without even batting an eye, Tim said, "I kill the media. I freeze them all into statues!" Just like that, they all died. Rob was unable to block Tim's narration, so he escalated and changed suit, smashing Lord Kelvin in the faceplate with his massive stone fist. And Tim played a Wild Card, which gave him the right to block Rob's blow entirely. Instead, he narrated, "Oh I take the blow. But the violence of it shatters the frozen corpses all around us!"
Rob was forced to yield the conflict, and his narration of his loss made it plain that Monolith believes HE killed all the reporters.
It was really exciting to watch. It was really deep communication, facilitated by the exchange of stakes at the beginning of the conflict as cues, and continued through narration during the conflict.

You guys have come up with such great stuff! Monolith's already questioning his own humanity with the power-control issues mentioned before, and now he has to grapple with being a murder! What awesome dramatic irony!

That scene was so much fun. Even better, just before it happened, phredd had his character, Perry Blackwater, demonstrate a new power of his death magic when he shifted into the plane of the dead to escape Lord Kelvin. He was immediately ensnared in a trap laid by the evil bokor, Papa Sanglant. Anyway, phredd's page was next in the sequence after Rob's, so all the dead suddenly appeared around him as he battled with Papa Sanglant.
phredd's stakes for the conflict were that he would find a dead victim of Lord Kelvin's. When phredd won his page of conflict, he managed to recruit all the reporters to the job. We had a follow-up Enrichment Scene in which they wanted to "follow the light" and he convinced them to stay on the earthly plane to help him gather information about the villain.
The Letters Column worked quite well. We used the Pundit's Column, adding up the Suffering of each aspect to determine which side of the Struggle the hero had chosen. It was revealing. Dina's character was the only one that came down on the Independence side of the struggle. The others chose Belonging. That has become an overarching issue for her character, Download, in this story arc. As I've mentioned, the Struggle for this story arc is Personal Needs vs. Responsibility. She's had Download pushing to leave and/or disband The Vigiles as part of the expression of the new Struggle, and it also points back to the resolution of the previous Struggle. That has been very satisfying.

Exhibition Review: Artists and Allies
By Maura Monaghan
Signs and Symbols is a contemporary art space grounded in performance that has been operating nomadically since 2012. Signs and Symbols' first physical space, a minimalistic gallery that beautifully accentuates the pieces on display, has been open at 102 Forsyth Street since April 2018. Co-founders Mitra Khorasheh and Elise Herget have combined their separate areas of expertise to create a gallery that is both a curatorial platform and a "multi-disciplinary incubator" bringing together every medium from performance to photography.
For the month of August, Signs and Symbols is exhibiting a selection of work that previews artists with forthcoming solo exhibitions. Allies of the gallery will also contribute their work, hence the series title Artists and Allies. The series opened on Tuesday, August 7th with an evening reception, which included the first of the rotating pieces on display.
For spectators stepping into the stylish space on Tuesday evening, one exhibit immediately demanded attention. Tony Orrico's composed tribute to Yvonne Rainer's 1966 "Hand Movie" piece is prominently displayed on a small screen, in which Orrico has synced the finger movements in Rainer's video to the sound of delicate piano keys.
Equally as striking is a colorful corner display, loudly contrasted against the gallery's white walls, of pillow art by Rachel Libeskind. On the pillows, Libeskind uses splashy colors and fabric to distort the images of political dictators. One pillow, titled Kim Jong Una, shows the infamous North Korean leader in pink sunglasses, with neon lips and long hair. There is enough risk in these pieces to indicate Libeskind's subversive intent, but the fashion mag-esque results leave just enough room for interpretation.
These pieces and more are currently on display at the Forsyth Street space, and the total number of artists whose work will be exhibited throughout the series exceeds nineteen. Aside from exhibitions, the Artists and Allies series is set to include a screening and/or performance every Thursday at 7pm. Thursday evening content will range from politically themed standup comedy to dance workshops and a sci-fi rap concert.
The photography featured in the first round of summer exhibitions includes a black-and-white piece by Stephen Barker, a New York-based artist who has done notable work with the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP), an advocacy group working to bring about legislation and medical research to benefit those effected by AIDS. As part of his work with ACT UP, Barker managed the Brooklyn Needle Exchange for two years.
The wide-ranging, experimental content in this summer series is an exciting step for the Signs and Symbols gallery, a refreshing new space that continues to give voice and exposure to artists of unconventional mediums. The Artists and Allies series is on until September 7th, and will be showcasing a rotating selection of artwork until then – all of which is worth a good look.

Sheraton Carlsbad Resort Wedding | Lisa + Mike
"Love is a miraculous gift, and a wedding is a celebration of that gift."
Lisa and Mike had one of those weddings that you will remember forever. It is because they were surrounded by nothing but love from their family and friends. Prince Weddings was truly honored to capture your wedding. The bride and groom got ready at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, Ca. There was a gift exchange between the bride and groom which Prince Videographers caught on camera. The reception was held outside on a warm and sunny day at The Crossings at Carlsbad, Ca. The sun casted a beautiful glow on the bride and groom as they said their "I Do's". Prince Productions captured every detail of the wedding reception to add more clips for the wedding video. The toasts from family and friends were filled with heartwarming advice to the newlyweds. Today marks a new beginning as husband and wife. We wish you the best and thank you so much for letting Prince Weddings capture your special day!

This February day was unusually warm and rainy but ice still covered our Lake Luxembourg. The ice cooled the air near the lake surface and the rain that was falling through the cold air formed a visually stunning fog. The view of the lake and trees veiled by the fog was so beautiful that despite the rain I could not force myself to leave the scene. All in all, keeping the camera in one hand and an umbrella in the other I took over 300 shots. Definitely more than I can consume. So here is just a minor part of them. The rest eventually will go to the unused images heaven during the next hard drive cleaning. Well, it's life.
Farewell self-portrait with the lake in the background.

It's been raining for three straight days now.. (it may even be more, but I've successfully lost count) The only good thing about this much rain?? Getting so much use out of my new Hunter boots! It makes the constant rain that much more enjoyable. Hunter has select boots on sale right now, so if you were planning on purchasing some, now is the time! They are really comfortable (especially with thick socks) and their quality is unmatched. They are even warranted by the Duke of Edinburgh, and Queen Elizabeth II. How awesome is that?! Plus, they've been around since 1856, so let's just say they know what they're doing! All that said, in my (professional) opinion, you should invest in a pair! Or two. Or three.
Happy Thursday and Happy Styling!

In a previous post to this site, I wrote about the ways in which active addicts damage important relationships, especially their intimate connection with a spouse or partner. In that blog, I noted that the most significant damage, in the eyes of a long-suffering significant other, likely centers not around what you did in your addiction, but around the loss of relationship trust created by your addiction.
In short, when we're active in our addiction, we lie to ourselves and everyone else in our lives—especially the people closest to us. In addition to outright lies, we keep secrets, we blame, we manipulate, we gaslight, and we abuse relationship trust in a hundred other ways. We do this habitually, often without thinking.
To repair our addition-damaged relationships, the lies, secrets, and manipulation must stop. As far as our partners are concerned, us getting sober is great and they're very happy about that. But they're unlikely to forgive us and to fully love us the way we'd like them to until we start to rebuild relationship trust.
To accomplish that herculean task, we must become rigorously honest. We must tell our significant other about everything, all the time, starting right now. We tell no more lies; we keep no more secrets; we stop blaming our spouse for our own behavior. We tell the truth, and we tell it faster.
As part of this, we need to understand the difference between active and passive truth telling. And yes, there is a huge difference between the two.
Active truth telling means we get honest with our significant other without our partner prompting us. If there is something we think he or she might want to know, we volunteer that information, and we do it sooner rather than later. We voluntarily tell the truth. And yes, our significant other might get angry about whatever it is that we did, but not as angry as he or she would be if we tried to keep it secret. With active truth telling, we become fully transparent about every aspect of our life. Our spouse doesn't have to guess, doesn't have to ask probing questions, doesn't have to play detective, doesn't have to make up stories in his or her mind that explain our behavior, because we are actively disclosing the truth no matter what.
Passive truth telling, on the other hand, forces our significant other to do the work. Even when our partner already knows or suspects that we've done something wrong, we wait to be asked about it. And when our partner does ask, we tell the truth about what was asked, but you don't volunteer other pertinent information. Instead, we withhold this other information, telling ourselves that what he/she doesn't know won't hurt him/her. We might also try to convince ourselves that we're not a liar because we answered our partner's questions truthfully. However, failing to disclose is just another form of lying. This means that passive truth telling will not help us rebuild relationship trust.
When we are working to rebuild trust in an addiction-damaged relationship, even when we've slipped up and done something that will anger our mate, it is best to disclose the truth. If we can't bring ourselves to spit it out today, then we need to share it tomorrow at the latest—also letting our partner know that we waited a day to tell because we knew that he/she would rightfully be upset and we selfishly did not want to experience that.
So it's just that easy, huh?
Well, no. Ongoing rigorous honesty (active truth-telling) is often difficult and painful. We don't enjoy it, and ours significant other don't enjoy it either. However, it is a necessary part of healing.
In my next post on using rigorous honesty to rebuild an addiction-damaged relationship, I will discuss the personal benefits of living an honest, open life.

St. Peter's members mobilized hot coffee, water and snacks at the George Howard Building where credentialing and escorts were able to take residents and business owners to their properties to gather belongings and assess damage. Operations continued at St. Peter's to mobilize and organize donations.
St. Peter's began to connect with local businesses. The Rev. Jim Perra ran into St. Peter's member Kennette Mitchell in the Home Depot in Ellicott City. Home Depot donated work gloves and contractor bags for the clean up effort.
Mother Anjel walked through the West End to do a preliminary assessment of damage. She was able to walk to Ellicott Mills Drive where the road had completely collapsed. When that sinkhole opened, it swept away the historic courthouse.

A man from the Port au Choix area was convicted this week after he fled the scene of an ATV accident, leaving his friend lying bleeding on the ground with a fractured skull.
Marcus Tony Spence was convicted in provincial court in Corner Brook of operating an all-terrain vehicle on a road, operating an all-terrain vehicle without a helmet and leaving the scene of an accident involving an all-terrain vehicle he was driving — all charges under the province's Motorized Snow Vehicles and All-Terrain Vehicles Regulations.
As well, Spence was convicted of a criminal charge of leaving the scene of an accident in which he was involved.
The court heard Spence had attended a shed party the night of June 10, 2017, and had left with group of friends, including a longtime buddy, for a local motel bar.
Another member of the group told the court Spence had been drinking at both locations, and was drunk. She said she and Spence left the bar around 3 a.m. and returned to the location of the shed party, where they picked up his ATV. She said she got on the vehicle behind him and he drove her home. Neither of them were wearing helmets, she said.
The woman said Spence had received a phone call from his longtime friend along the way, and she heard him tell the friend he was going to a party and would pick him up. He then dropped her off at her home.
Another woman testified she had been standing on the step of her friend's house having a cigarette early that morning when she heard what she called a "bike" going down the road, and people laughing. She then heard a "loud bang," she said.
Feeling there had been an accident, she and two friends walked in the direction of the sound, and found Spence's friend lying on the road, bleeding from his ear. The woman said Spence was standing near him, and there was an ATV there as well.
Her friend told the court she had seen two ATVs.
A third witness testified he and a woman had been walking to a party when they came across a man lying bleeding on the road. Spence was at the scene, he said, and so was his ATV, which he said he recognized from seeing Spence drive it previously. He said he told Spence to leave, not wanting him to get in trouble. He said Spence got on the ATV and left.
An RCMP officer told the court he received a report of an injured man shortly before 4 a.m. and went to the scene, where the man was being treated by paramedics. After speaking to witnesses, the officer said, he determined Spence had been there and left, and went with another officer to his house to check on him. A relative told him Spence was asleep on the sofa and seemed OK, so both police officers left.
The injured man was unable to remember much about the night of the accident, saying he recalled attending the shed party and nothing else until he woke up in hospital in Corner Brook the next day.
In her closing submissions, the Crown prosecutor acknowledged the evidence against Spence was circumstantial, but said the only reasonable conclusion that could be drawn was that Spence dropped his female friend home and then picked up his male friend, then got into the accident that caused his friend's injuries.
Spence's defence lawyer argued that two of the witnesses had been drunk at the time, and the possibility that the injured man was also driving an ATV could not be ruled out, since another witness had testified to seeing two vehicles at the accident scene.
Judge Wayne Gorman sided with the Crown, saying based on the totality of the evidence presented at trial, Spence had picked up his male friend on an ATV as planned and was subsequently involved in the accident that injured him.
"I am also satisfied that it would have been obvious to Mr. Spence that (his friend) had been seriously injured and needed assistance," Gorman said.
Spence has yet to be sentenced.
