Show notes: In this 69th episode, I took a trip up the street to the new Bricks & Minifigs shop in my neck of the woods- Hernando, MS. Long time Mid-South Cartoonists Association member Dr. Kevin Thorn and his wife Tammy Blackman Thorn are the owners of not only a new franchised LEGO themed shop, but what looks to be one of the coolest shops in the mid-south area! I talked to the couple about the genesis of going into business with each other on this new Bricks & Minifigs franchise opportunity in their home town, their plans for the future of the local shop (parties, workshops, art gallery, and more!), and their love of LEGO. The Bricks & Minifigs Hernando shop will be officially opening in January 2025 (hopefully Jan. 11th), but fingers crossed they plan a soft opening on Black Friday- or as they call it, "Block Friday" and the Christmas shopping season. They were doing a "Buy Day" buying event when I stopped by to visit, and many folks were stopping buy to trade in their LEGO sets and loose bricks for cash. One cool thing about the used bricks is that the Hernando Bricks & Minifigs shop will not only be washing all the bricks they take in, they will also regularly be disinfecting all the ones in their loose bins, too! You will be able to buy new and used LEGO sets, mini-figs, and loose bricks to create your own plastic creations. This brand new Bricks & Minifigs store is located at 210 E. Commerce Street, Suite #7 in Hernando, MS. From Memphis head south on I-55 to exit 280 (Hernando/Commerce Street), turn right on Commerce Street, stay in the left lane, go past the McDonalds, and turn right after the R/R tracks. The shop is in the shopping center next to Bazar's Bakery & Restaurant, and just up the street from the DeSoto County Museum and Area 51 Ice Cream. Oh, and there's a new mural inside the shop by MSCA member Greg Cravens! I also share some info on MSCA and other local events such as our recent "The Funny Pages" art show reception at Germantown Community Theatre over the weekend, and our upcoming MSCA monthly dinner meet-up and holiday art swap at Garibaldi's Pizza on December 3rd, from 6-8pm.

Kevin Thorn is an Associate Certified Entomologist and the President of Thorn Pest Solutions.

Kevin is also the author of Here to Help: Pest Management Solutions for Commercial Properties, which gives commercial managers and owners the knowledge and resources they need to choose the best pest control provider, prevent a pest control crisis, and protect their businesses. In this episode… As the pest control industry changes, so do employees' and customers' needs. So, what can you do to accommodate these needs while maintaining company profitability and growth? Kevin Thorn narrows it down to two key principles: price and technology. It can be difficult to convince customers to pay a higher price, but it's necessary if you want to retain employees and keep them happy. Low bids just don't work anymore. On the technology side, it's important to stay up-to-date and adopt new technologies that will benefit your business. Technology advancements often help you save time, gain more clients, and focus your energy on what matters most. In this episode of the Multiply You Podcast, Austin Clark talks with Kevin Thorn, President of Thorn Pest Solutions, about the best practices for growing your business in a changing world. Kevin discusses the challenges of hiring and retaining talent, the benefit of raising your prices, and why everyone in the industry should adopt new technologies.

Communicating clearly is probably the most difficult thing anyone can do in business.  Our job as Instructional Designers is often to make better communication happen under the guise of "we need everyone to be better trained on _______". It doesn't matter what level you are at within your training team or the overall organization.  Everyone from the new intern to the experienced CLO needs to improve their ability to communicate complex ideas and concepts in order to influence others into action.  This is where Visual Language Theory comes into play. Kevin Thorn joins us to explore concepts on how to better communicate ideas and transform those ideas into a visual language. One of the most important aspects of this process (and coincidentally in our ID work) is extracting you and your stakeholders' ideas and converting them into a universal visual language that your target audience will clearly understand.  We'll discuss the entire process using old school "pen & paper" so that it's accessible to everyone including those professionals not interested in mastering new design tools.Join us for this session and find out how you can also get more in-depth instruction and training on these processes from Kevin at other events like DevLearn and StepAway.Desgin.Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

And then magic happens... poof... instructional objectives are written.While that may be how your stakeholders see it, we all know the invisible magic is often a struggle in organizing data and working through business processes that often don't make sense.  Most often these processes are trapped inside a SME's head and it's your job to get it out.  Understand it.  Document it. And then ask if that looks about right?You might already use a spreadsheet and outline the process, or maybe a flow charting app.  But have you ever just wanted to sketch it out and get the first draft visual done quickly in order to get their feedback?Kevin Thorn joins us and offers an opportunity for you to practice your sketchnoting skills this summer.

Instructional Designers and eLearning developers play an important role in DEI programs.  When stock characters are required it's often difficult to find the right image that reflects your requirements.  And when you do find something that works it's often quite boring and unfitting of the style you had designed.

Listen and subscribe at www.JustProWrestlingNews.com I'm Matt Carlins and this is JUST Pro Wrestling News for Monday, January 17, 2022. This update is brought to you by IndyWrestling.us. (STINGER: WWE) Mustafa Ali wants out. He revealed over the weekend that he has asked for his release from WWE. He posted a video message on his social media that read Ali “has a dream that is much bigger than his pro wrestling dreams.” We do not know yet if WWE will grant Ali's request. Roman Reigns became the longest-reigning Universal Champion in WWE history over the weekend, eclipsing Brock Lesnar's 503-day reign. The Viking Raiders are the #1 contenders for the SmackDown Tag Titles. They earned that by winning a 4-way on Friday's SmackDown. Also, Aliyah got a roll-up win over Natalya. WWE said the match time of 3.17 seconds is a new record for the fastest women's match in company history. As of Sunday night, there are no matches announced for tonight's RAW. Jon Moxley is returning to the ring. GCW announced he will defend the GCW Title against Homicide at GCW's big show at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom on January 23rd. Moxley stepped away from the ring last November to enter an inpatient alcohol treatment program. There's been no announcement on when Mox will return to AEW. Also announced for GCW's Hammerstein show…The Briscoes will hold an open challenge for their GCW Tag Titles. At GCW's show in Detroit on Friday night, Matt Cardona won the ECW TV Title from Rhino. At GCW's show in Chicago Saturday night, AJ Gray ended PCO's 1,226-day reign as the GCW Extreme Champion. Also on the show, Jonathan Gresham retained his Ring Of Honor World Champion against 2 Cold Scorpio. But the “other” ROH Champ Bandido lost a non-title match to Blake Christian. BOTH versions of the ROH World Title were defended on Sunday, at the debut of the Terminus promotion.. Bandido successfully defended his ROH World Championship against Baron Black. And Jonathan Gresham retained the “original” ROH World Title when his match against Josh Alexander ended in a double pin. Gresham and Bandido came face to face after the main event…but they were interrupted by AEW's Santana. He challenged Gresham and they'll meet for the “original” ROH World Title at the next Terminus show on February 24th. (STINGER: AEW) At least seven matches are being promoted for tonight's Dark: Elevation…including Ruby Soho vs. Kenzie Paige. Plus, PRETTY Peter Avalon is promising an announcement on his career status. Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus are still the AEW Tag Team Champions. They beat John Silver & Alex Reynolds on Friday night's Rampage. Also, Adam Cole got a tainted win over Trent Beretta. (STINGER: New Japan) On Saturday's episode of New Japan Strong, Jonah beat David Finlay. Plus, Karl Fredericks and Kevin Knight beat Bateman & Misterioso. In Pro-Wrestling NOAH, Katsuhiko Nakajima is still the GHC Heavyweight Champion. He retained the gold with a win over Masa Kitamiya on Sunday. TEN NOAH wrestlers were pulled from the show due to coronavirus protocols. Kevin Fertig - the former Kevin Thorn in WWE - says he suffered a torn bicep during Ohio Valley Wrestling's Nightmare Rumble show over the weekend. On his Facebook, Fertig wrote he's set for surgery this week and indicated that this could be the end of his in-ring career. That's JUST Pro Wrestling News for Monday, January 17.

Storyboarding is a basic skillset often overlooked by instructional designers and project managers.  For many developers the storyboarding process is bypassed in favor of building an eLearning "proof of concept".  This is great for developers given the storyboarding task, and for one-person ID teams to optimize their project processes. However, storyboarding is a valuable skill for everyone to learn. Storyboarding can be used to communicate ideas and concepts in more powerful ways with stakeholders and clients to increase understanding and overall chances of project success.  Sketching interaction ideas/concepts can also improve communications between designers and developers.  In this episode, Kevin Thorn joins us for our recurring IDIODC Drink'n'Draw show where Kevin teaches instructional designers different aspects of drawing applied to the work of instructional designers and eLearning developers.Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

We do a lot of drawing with Kevin.  In this episode we're looking at taking those drawing skills and adding them to instructional videos. There are a lot of methods for adding graphical elements to videos and we'll talk about a few techniques and concepts that can be very useful for instructional videos. Kevin will be sharing some advanced video methods like converting your videos to animated gifs and rotoscoping.  Gifs may not be viewed as possible instructional media, but we'll help you see them in a different way.  We'll also be discussing why an instructional designer needs to understand video production terms like rotoscoping and others.Advanced video concepts will level up your instructional videos by adding that element of pizazz that so many internal stakeholders and clients request. Summer is the perfect time to level up your production skills. We'll introduce these concepts and show you some examples. Then we'll give you a challenge to learn one of these skills and create an example during the month of August while IDIODC is on a break.  The next time Kevin joins us in the new season we'll be anxious to see what you've created.Kevin is an award-winning eLearning designer & developer, consultant, and owner of NuggetHead Studioz, LLC., a boutique custom design and development studio specializing in online learning experiences.After retiring from the US Army, Kevin pursued a career in corporate IT and Training & Development.

Searching for new ways to create engaging media elements in training projects is an ongoing challenge for most designers. Animation beyond the standard effects require deeper thought in design and often involves additional skills in a variety of tools.

Welcome to another edition of IDIODC Drink'n'Draw-ing with Kevin Thorn, we'll be talking about the usage and importance of icons as graphic elements in your instructional designs. (Not sure what Drink'n'Draw is? Catch up on our last Drink'n'Draw episode with Kevin Thorn here on Youtube: https://youtu.be/2AO-ov8QESY ) With a favourite returning guest Kevin Thorn in the house, he'll be showing us how to start with a sketch and build your own icon sets. We'll be looking to your, the chat room audience, for inspiration. You will all vote on an idea. Kevin will show us how to sketch it, snap a photo of it, import it into Illustrator and convert it to an icon. But even if you're not a graphic designer, you can still benefit from understanding this design process. You may not become the world's greatest icon creator, but in a pinch you could be the person that saves a project from doom because you had this little skill. And there is a psychology to icons as well that we will discuss along with the importance of understanding cultural norms and Accessibility guidelines. So even if you don't do the art work, you'll need to have a solid understanding of the nuance of icons and the instructional power they wield. Welcome to our second episode of the new year!

Some of the greatest ideas, inventions, and innovations started as sketches. And the biggest mistake we often make is jumping into our software to start developing. But for more successful outcomes, we should all be starting with paper and pen. And if you’re one of those people that thinks “…but I can’t draw”, then this IDIODC is perfect for you.

He’ll be doing some live sketching on his iPad and walking us through the basics and how it applies to designing all kinds of learning experiences. Kevin’s latest project is helping professionals increase their creativity and innovation by combining the creative process of illustration and game thinking. You don’t need to be a professional artist to practice and successfully sketch your ideas. And game thinking isn’t just about creating fun card games and board games.

Shelly Leonor Martinez (born February 9, 1980) is an American model, actress, retired professional wrestler and valet. She is known for her work with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) on its ECW brand under the ring name Ariel and for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) under the ring name Salinas as valet to The Latin American Xchange (LAX).Martinez entered professional wrestling in December 2000. She worked mainly on the independent circuit in Southern California, using the name Desire, competing for promotions including Revolution Pro Wrestling, Ultimate Pro Wrestling and the Empire Wrestling Federation (EWF). In April 2005, she signed a contract with WWE, and was assigned to their developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). She moved to the ECW brand in mid-2006, and using a gimmick of a tarot reader, managed Kevin Thorn, while known as Ariel. In 2007, she was released from her WWE contract, and signed with TNA. Known as Salinas, she was associated with LAX, and managed both members of the team, Homicide and Hernandez. She left TNA in September 2008, and appeared for several independent promotions until her retirement in 2017.Martinez is also known for her acting and modeling work.

He is an author, professional speaker, and professional athlete, all of which play a key role in his unique approach to working alongside youth, parents, educators, community members and business leaders in order to provide long term and sustainable results within our schools and businesses in our communities. He travels around the world leading school assemblies, workshops, training seminars and keynote speaking presentations that focus on providing people with the tools and resources needed to be effective mentors. Daniel’s focus and love is being the Founder & CEO of his 501(c)3 Non-Profit that he founded in 2010, My Life My Power World Inc. (MLMP), which provides an evidence-based curriculum and training program to PreKindergarten to 12th grade Schools and Universities who have a desire to impact and transform their student’s lives through mentoring.

While growing up, he was bullied and harassed almost daily by his peers because he was overweight and labeled with learning disabilities. Over a decade later, and after much success, he decided to use his celebrity title in a way that could truly make a difference for children and teenagers who themselves are facing challenges - not just bullying.

This is a special Xmas in July,  Balls Out, episode not for those with sensitive ears.   The “Explicit” light went on early in this one. . . and never went out.   What happens when WWE’s Kevin Thorn stops by to have a few brews with the Pigs at Alley’s Alehouse?  Lots of fun and chaos!   The show got so out of hand, it took over 11 months to edit and release with an NC17 rating, but it was too good and the boys had too much fun on this one to not let it out.   Joining us for the evening(although he may wished he was not there) was the tenderloin, Chris Clark.  No way to break this one down.  Although he’s known to most the world as Kevin Thorn or Mordecai, we are privileged to know the man behind the tights, our friend, Kevin Fertig.  And Kevin goes deep and tells all in this one.  From his love of spandex, wrestling woes(and where fingers sometimes go), to an odd one on one in politics with Dougy Fresh.  But we also get the softer side to this friendly giant as we learn his number one focus in life, family.  (Which is about the only sweet thing to happen in this episode.) They get a bit personal and divulge what they are all wearing underneath, Jordan once again claims his love of the Dickel, and then they explore things they never thought they would . . . or should.  But through all the weirdness, they do talk beer and whiskey as they enjoy some Romantic Chemistry from Dogfish Head Brewery, Tiberius from Scarlet Lane, and a shot of Few Bourbon. An all adult show for certain, but an all around entertaining night they can’t wait to do again. . . next time in the privacy of Kevin’s private bar where they can really cut loose.   Cheers! Shout outs in this episode include:  Eddy’s Sports Pub, Douglas Sheets, PBR, Duluth Trading Company, and George Dickel

Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling

This Sunday in Hanahan, South Carolina OSCW (Old School Championship Wrestling-www.oscwonline.com) presents the first ever “Battle of The Vampires” as Kevin Thorn faces today’s guest on The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling, “The Vampire Warrior” Gangrel. A true innovator of the vampire persona, Gangrel remains one of the most sought after talents touring the country nearly 16 years removed from being the leader of the WWE’s Brood faction which helped launch the careers of both WWE Hall of Famer, Edge and his tag team partner Christian. John and Chad also take a walk on the dark side as they travel with Gangrel back to his days in Stampede, Puerto Rico, All Japan Pro Wrestling and all the stops in between that led him to WWE in 1998. His entire run as the sinister blood spitter is recapped as well as the subsequent returns following his original departure. There is also a quite poignant moment in the show as Gangrel speaks on the place his late wife, Luna Vachon SHOULD have on the wrestling business and how today’s “diva” couldn’t hold a candle to the performer Luna was in ring and her love of professional wrestling.

When it comes to playing a super-natural character Kevin Fertig is in a class by himself. Today the superstar formerly known as Kevin Thorn and the mysterious Mordecai takes The Two Man Power Trip on a bone chilling stroll into the genesis and conception of two of the most unique characters the WWE has created in the last fifth-teen years. John, Chad and Kevin dive into the story behind the fascinating Mordecai character that clearly was built to be made for a massive feud with The Undertaker in 2004 and how WWE's start and stop booking caused Fertig to grow frustrated with the politics of management. We also get an insightful look into the re-launch of ECW on SyFy and where Kevin Thron was headed before being repackaged and consequently dropped.
