There are numerous versions of this Charles Dickens Classic: A Christmas Carol. Which is your favorite?
I have two favorites: The Muppet Christmas Carol and the version with George C. Scott playing Ebenezer Scrooge. There is also a musical version that's really great! It has a lively little tune called "Thank you very much!"
LOVE the version with Albert Finney, it is a DARKER version of the movie classic!
Yes ... Albert Finney was in the 1970s version! That is a good one. Reginald Owen was in the 1938 version which I believe is the longest and extremely good as well! George C. Scott was in the 1984 version! All these are great! Michael Caine is in the 1992 Muppet version.
I enjoy many of these renditions, but found the 2004 Musical staring Kelsey Grammer particularly enjoyable. Writing was clever, and the performances were well executed.
I will have to check if I have seen that.
If you do, let me know what you think. Haven't seen it in years, but remember enjoying it. I think I'll find it to watch again this year.
I will check in the am so I don't go to sleep on it.
Oh, George C. Scott, by far is my favorite Christmas Carol. It does make me think about the past year and if I have been as good and kind a person as I should have been.
There are many, but George C. is the one that has the biggest turn-a-round from his
Bah-Hum-Bug attitude.
Merry Christmas to you, Jacqueline!

Can you handle reading novels by Charles Dickens, or do you feel like you might die of boredom?I love "A Christmas Carol" and "A Tale of Two Cities", but I can't handle reading much else by Dickens because he was too verbose and took too long to get to the point. Anyone else?

5 Reasons to Make Pension Contributions Before April

As we approach the end of the tax year, it might be worth considering making contributions toward your pension. There are several good reasons for this which we will cover in this blog, whether some or all these reasons apply to you will depend largely on your current circumstances. 1.

As I said in my previous post, my theme for the next week or so will be Wrath of the Lich King. People are thinking alot about it these days, what with the furor of 2.4 dying down and the realization that there will be nothing new to do until the expansion hits the shelves. Unfortunately, this dead zone is also coinciding with the summer months, when more players tend to drift away to greener pastures (and greener lawns, heh). I hear lots of talk about taking breaks for awhile, so perhaps there's also some burnout setting in.
Honestly, it's been a wild ride for the past 17 months. If you had told me that BC would rejuvenate the game for another 12+ months I would have laughed at that idea, but that's pretty much what happened. Blizzard has done a good job of keeping the game fresh with fairly frequent content updates. They've also broadened it's appeal to a wider variety of people, beefing up PvP for those who prefer that style of play and making high-end PvE accessible to more players through Heroics. Clearly they realize this since they're expanding on the small raid/small dungeon concept by providing a 10-man option for every new raid instance in WotLK.
And as much as we crafters like to bemoan the marketability of our goods, they did improve on crafting as well. Prior to Burning Crusade, there was nothing my leatherworker could make to generate cash. Like many other casual players, I used to farm essences and other high-end crafting ingredients to make money. Tailors were only good for runecloth bags, which weren't exactly lucrative. Blacksmiths had nothing if they weren't also raiders and Engineers had nothing period. Pretty much the only crafters that were making money were Enchanters and Alchemists. Not that this is much different today, but at least every other profession has *something* they can make that no one else provides. Leatherworkers have leg armor, Tailors have spellthread and Engineers can farm primals if nothing else. I think Blacksmiths are still in need of a strong consumable item, from what I can tell they are nothing without an epic recipe of some sort.
Blizzard even gave cooks and fisherfolk some viability with better buff foods that players will actually pay for. Plus they have daily cooking/fishing quests that enable you to make a bit of cash even if you aren't farming goodies for the auction. All in all we've seen some great strides in crafting, but of course there's always room for improvement.
So I want to put the question out to my readers, what would you ask Blizzard to improve if they allowed user suggestions? What goodies would be on your Top 5 list to Greatfather Winter? I'll kick things off with my thoughts:
1. Stronger upgrade path for BoP epics – I think Blizz was on the right track with the Smithing weapons, but this concept should be extended to all gear professions. My specialized leather hasn't helped my druid since the last half of Karazhan. Considering the mats and effort that go into these items, shouldn't they be best in category? It's not like I was able to make myself a full set of armor, just 3 pieces. But why shouldn't I be able to upgrade each item with Tier 5 or Tier 6 instance drops? Just add a Nether Vortex or some Hearts of Darkness and call it good. I know Blizz acknowledges this one, since they had it on their own ToDo list at a major trade show. I want to see this happen because I was very bummed that my Windhawk set didn't even see me through Kara. Considering all the friggin' Primal Airs I had to farm to make it, I wish it wasn't just sitting in my bank collecting dust. You're on notice Blizz, I'm saving it just in case :P
2. Give Blacksmiths some love — please! Most other professions have a crafted consumable they can make, and our sharpening stones do not count. From what I can tell, no one uses them with any frequency. And I don't really consider the epic BoE recipes fair, those are seriously expensive! I suspect you'd be lucky to break even after spending 500+ gold on the recipe and maybe making a handful of the actual item for other players. Other professions got nice sellable recipes from faction vendors, why not us? I'm crying foul here – come up with something new for smiths please.
3. Let enchanters sell some thing on the Auction – something else I know is rattling around the rumor mill. I realize we can sell oils, but that's pretty lame IMO. I kind of like the prevailing notion of limiting which enchants would be available this way, but it would at least give us barker-averse folks a way to profit from our hard work. Right now my enchanter only makes money farming primals… with her Engineering helm. I know, how stupid was I when I got drunk and did that to myself??
4. More consistent itemization – this covers almost all professions. There are a number of gaps in the professions where you have a high level of an item, but not a low level. Or a low level of something, but no beefier version in the upper tiers. Perhaps some of this is intended, I really can't say. It just seems odd to me that there is no Transmute XX to Air, no Fel Iron Arrows, no Flashing or Subtle Blood Garnet, no buff food with +Defense on it … I could go on forever here. These seem like obvious gaps that anyone could spot during alpha testing if they took the time to review recipes lists in such a manner (hint hint… I'm available!).
5. More fun stuff!! Seriously, we all enjoy collecting silly pets and goofy items in the game. How come we can't make shirts and party dresses anymore? Where's the new and improved leather ball or Mechanical Egbert?? Granted, we did get the Winter Veil outfits, but that's about it. I'd like to see more novelty craftables.
6. Ok, I said five but I'm throwing in a bonus one. Give us dyes!! 'Nuff said.
So let's talk people, what's on your list?

Custom Colors
Our waterbased inks take our custom Christian apparel to the next level. Combine top-of-the-line design with industry-leading ink & you've got a Sunday Cool tee.
Custom Colors
Creating custom colors for water based inks
Please read through below for the terms and conditions of our custom colors guidelines.
Our standard for creating custom colored water based inks is to match your requested custom color to the Pantone Solid Uncoated booklet. This is known in the industry as "PMS matching".
Color matching
If you have a specific color you would like us to use for your design, you can submit your custom color request using:
Hex code
RGB code
CMYK code
PMS number; When submitting a PMS C color, a similar PMS U color will be chosen.
Screen shot image
IMPORTANT! Not all colors on a computer monitor or mobile device screen are able to be matched with the Pantone Solid Uncoated booklet; therefore we will match your custom color closest to the color in the booklet
Please note that ink colors on screen may slightly differ from the actual print due to color differences in computer monitors and mobile devices.
90% print accuracy*
Because each shirt model, brand and colorway are made differently, we cannot control how the ink prints on all the different apparel available. Therefore we can only offer up to a 90% accuracy when creating a custom color and using it to print your design.
If your order consists of multiple garments and/or apparel brands, the ink used for the design may look different when it is printed on each garment.
*We cannot match or guarantee the accuracy of a custom color on apparel colors that have a poor discharge rating. Click here for more information on water-based print results
PMS ink matching pricing
A fee will be charged per color with the guidelines below.
Orders below 144 pieces - $25/color
Orders above 144 pieces - Free up to two (2) colors. If there are more than 2 colors that need to be PMS matched, a $25 fee per additional color will be charged.

RUSH Orders below 144 pieces - $50/color
RUSH Orders above 144 pieces - Free up to two (2) colors. If there are more than 2 colors that need to be PMS matched, a $50 fee per additional color will be charged.

Biz Buzz: SLO firm not worried about space cuts
A San Luis Obispo company signed on to work on NASA's new Ares spacecraft is taking a "wait and see" approach to President Barack Obama's intent to cancel the space program.
The president recently said he'd rather private enterprise take over such manned missions to the moon, Mars and beyond.
He called for NASA to focus instead on extending the life of the International Space Station and focusing more on earth science, such as the study of climate change. The space agency apparently agrees, according to its recently released 2011 budget projection.
Next Intent has been developing hardware and systems to control vibrations of the Ares rocket boosters so the astronauts can have a "comfortable ride," Next Intent President Rodney Babcock said.
The company was honored this year as one of 100 companies using outstanding technological innovation for its work on the rocket. It was the second year in a row that Next Intent received the award for progressive manufacturing.
The president and NASA administrator say they want to cancel the Ares program, but it has to be approved by the Senate — and that may not be decided until the summer.
"Fortunately we have our hands in a lot of things," said Babcock, whose company has been working on the project since late 2008.
Babcock had already completed building hardware for some engineering and testing of the vibration isolators, he said.
There's enough time between now and when they were going to build more hardware for the program that the cancellation will probably have little impact on his bottom line.
"We'll find something else to work on," Babcock said.
Other Next Intent projects include: Helping to build the suspension system for the Mars Science Laboratory, to launch in 2011 (which received an award from the NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory in May); and building components for an actuator that will control a laser beam for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory in Livingston, La., and Hanford, Wash.
Next Intent is best known for making some of the nuts and bolts in the wheels of the Mars land rover. The company employs 32 people.
Babcock has recently added two new people, who work as machinists and quality assurance experts, he said.
He declined to say how much revenue the company makes a year.

Lifetime Risk of Maternal Mortality (2015)
What does it mean ?
The Lifetime Risk of Maternal Mortality is the probability that a 15 year- old girl will die eventually from a maternal cause (any cause related to pregnancy, during childbirth, pregnancy or within 42 days of childbirth), assuming that current levels of fertility and mortality do not change during her lifetime. In high fertility societies the risk is higher because on average women go through the risk associated with pregnancy and childbirth many times in their life.
Why does it matter ?
Problems during pregnancy and childbirth are a leading cause of death and disability of women of reproductive age (15-49 years) in low income countries. This indicator acts as a marker of how likely it is to face death related to pregnancy and childbirth and reflects the ability of a country's healthcare system to provide safe care during pregnancy and childbirth.
How is it collected ?
In high income countries the data for Lifetime Risk of Maternal Mortality are from national registers of deaths to women, with maternal death as the cause. Also required in the calculation is the probability of becoming pregnant (fertility rates by age).To calculate LTR, the cumulative probability over a whole life time of becoming pregnant and dying from the pregnancy is there for calculated by summing over all reproductive ages the probabilities of becoming pregnant and dying of maternal causes
Trends in Maternal Mortality: 1990 to 2015 Estimates by WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, World Bank Group and the United Nations Population Division (2015) http://www.who.int/reproductivehealth/publications/monitoring/maternal-mortality-2015/en/
Female Genital Mutilation / Cutting in Africa
What does it mean ?
Female Genital Mutilation / Cutting (FGM / C) refers to all procedures involving partial or total removal of the female external genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. Prevalence of FGM / C is the percentage of all women aged 15-49 years who have undergone FGM.
Why does it matter ?
FGM / C is a violation of the rights of girls and women and is considered a form of gender-based violence. It is associated with serious adverse short and long term health consequences including pain, bleeding, infection and birth complications. Data on the practice is needed to evaluate the impact of policies and legislation and monitor progress toward elimination, which is included as a target for Sustainable Development Goal 5: to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. Target 5.3: by 2030 "eliminate all harmful practices, such as early, forced and child marriage, and female genital mutilation."
How is it collected ?
Most data on FGM / C is self-reported and collected retrospectively from large scale, nationally representative surveys such as Demographic and Health (DHS) or Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS).

Hitman fans have been eagerly waiting for the next installment in the Hitman series. After several months of rumors and weird clues popping up all over the net, Square Enix has now formally announced the fifth game in the Hitman series, 'Hitman Absolution'. A small teaser of the game was released, and it does just that, it teases.
HITMAN ABSOLUTION follows Agent 47™, a cold-blooded assassin, who takes on his most dangerous contract to date. Betrayed by those he once trusted — and now hunted by the police — he suddenly finds himself at the center of a dark conspiracy and must embark on a personal journey through a corrupt and twisted world.
"For the first time we are taking Agent 47 on a personal journey which allows us to explore other parts of the Hitman® fantasy," said Tore Blystad, game director, IO Interactive. "This is both a familiar and yet significantly different experience from other Hitman games; something our silent assassins will relish, as will all those new to the Hitman world."

Letters to the Editor
Thanks to all who volunteer
In honor of National Volunteer Month, we want to publicly thank the more than 397 volunteers whose dedication and selfless commitment enable Hospice of Southern Illinois to fulfill its mission: to enhance the quality of life for individuals and their loved ones touched by a terminal illness. Their acts of compassion, both large and small, allow our patients comfort and companionship that make the difference at a very critical point in their lives.
Hospice of Southern Illinois' volunteers provide thousands of hours of service in a variety of roles, whether at the bedside of a patient in a long-term-care facility, in their home or a home of a family member, in the hospital, or in one of our three Hospice of Southern Illinois' locations, providing invaluable assistance with the countless administrative and fund-raising projects. Volunteers have enthusiastically embraced the many volunteer opportunities of our Hospice Home, Relais Bonne Eau in Edwardsville.
As we prepare activities for our 34th year of service to our 27 counties in wouthern Illinois, let us not forget the volunteerism that began Hospice of Southern Illinois, then Belleville Hospice in our northern service area and Hospice Care Inc. in the southern service area. Our roots are grounded in the dedicated work of our volunteers; in fact, the role of the volunteer is built into Medicare regulations. They require that 5 percent of patient care hours be provided by trained volunteers.
People who are interested in the many Hospice of Southern Illinois volunteer opportunities throughout our 27 counties can call 800-233-1708 or visit our website www.hospice.org for more information and the dates for upcoming volunteer trainings.

Highlights from a recent project:
"Home" - Atlas Premier Realty
by Omeed Nabavi
First off, welcome to the blog! This idea has been stewing around for a while, so when building the latest version of our site we decided to finally implement it. Expect to see posts here semi-regularly from each member of Stereoscope on topics ranging from our experiences working on projects both on and off set to our opinions on the trends we see in the local and global film industries. We're very new to this stuff (like, all of it), so our views are just that- OURS. Feel free to comment/join the discussion should you have something to add! With that said, let's roll:
2018 has been a year of reinvention for our little production company. Since its inception three years ago, we've had a hell of a time figuring out the direction we wanted to grow in. Should we focus on the so-called "easy money" and create simple videos for local organizations/businesses (ie, talking heads) with little-to-no passion? Should we stick with our roots and continue to make silly low budget films for ourselves and perhaps a small YouTube following (Lingering Echoes, anyone?)? Is there a third option here?!
That last question is what we've been attempting to answer for some time, and finally one came to us: let's just film the projects we want to be paid for. It's basically a spin on "dress for the job you want," which sounds simple enough. That is until you're in the thick of running a side business while maintaining a full-time job and some semblance of a social life. The short of it was this: we needed to start making work that pushed ourselves creatively, fed our passion to create compelling work, looked great to our intended audience, and was engaging to watch. Only then could we start marketing ourselves to the types of clients, and more importantly the types of projects, we wanted to be hired to create. So we did just that, and produced a few proof-of-concept pieces that were designed to have that cinematic feel we've been missing.
that cinematic feel
It was around this time that we were approached to create a commercial by Atlas Premier Realty, which was the perfect opportunity for us to put our newfound theory into practice. Their team was itching for a video that was dramatically different from your average real estate video. They wanted something genuine that spoke to their clients on a personal level. They were also looking for something cinematic (often referring to Under Armour commercials in our pre-production meetings). Needless to say, we were pumped to get to work!
The result is truly one of my favorite projects Stereoscope has had the pleasure of producing to date:
Atlas Premier Realty | "HOME"
On the technical end, this project called for a new approach to filmmaking that we had only just begun to explore. Things such as the intentional use of light and motivated camera movement were priorities in my mind and a few new pieces of gear were acquired to help us achieve the image quality we were looking for. Enter our brand new lights (Aperture Lightstorm 300D), Easyrig, (which gave us freedom and mobility to frame shots up the way we liked quickly while adding a slight natural movement), and the Atomos Ninja Inferno (paired well with the Panasonic GH4 + GH5). Adding these to our toolbox allowed us to move quickly and efficiently, without sacrificing quality (except when it did).
The new approach proved to be extremely fruitful, but we learned a lot along the way- namely that the GH4 will not output 4K at 60fps, nor will your files be as robust for color grading if you don't set the Atomos to ProResHQ (for that sweet sweet 10-bit image). These lessons, along with a few other choice production-related issues we ran into for this project, have already greatly improved our current production process which I'm super excited for everyone to witness in the coming months!
All in all, this project is the first one that shows what Stereoscope has the potential to do professionally. It's powerful, emotional, and beautiful- and Atlas could not be more pleased with it. Just this past weekend they invited us to the grand opening celebration of their brand new office in Westminster. Over and over they introduced us to everyone as the team who made "HOME". It helped that the video was playing on loop on literally every monitor they had, but we couldn't help but smile and be proud of the work and the recognition we received. We're just getting started.
we're just getting started

Children were among at least nine civilians killed Tuesday in Russian strikes on Syria's Idlib, a monitor said, as expectations mount of a government offensive in the country's last major rebel stronghold.
Iran and Shia group Hezbollah are strong allies of the Bashar al-Assad regime, whose forces have been fighting opposition groups in a deadly civil war since 2011.
Syrian rebel fighters prepare for an upcoming government forces offensive, in the countryside of the rebel-held northern Idlib province on September 3, 2018.
Khamis, for his part, expressed his gratitude to the Islamic Republic for supporting his country and said with the cooperation of friendly countries, particularly Iran and Russia, Syria will take steps toward the reconstruction.
Speaking in the wake of a message on Twitter from the United States president, Vladimir Putin's spokesman said the army was preparing to solve the issue in what he called a "pocket of terrorism".
Government forces are amassing at the border with Idlib province, while Russian Federation revealed last week it had positioned more than a dozen ships off the Syrian coast, raising fears of a wide-scale offensive that could mark the last major battle in the seven-year civil war. "Don't let that happen!" he added.
Israel considers Iran's military presence in Syria a red line and has struck numerous military sites and advanced weaponry in Syria in recent years.
The province is one of the last areas in Syria held by forces opposed to President Bashar al Assad.
The Iranian diplomatic chief was welcomed by Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad at the airport upon his arrival at Damascus airport.
The Syrian government "has the right to fight against terrorists and purge them entirely from its territory", he said.
The UN's Syria peace envoy called Tuesday on the Russian and Turkish presidents to urgently speak to each other to help avert a "bloodbath" in rebel-held Idlib, as a military offensive appears imminent.
Russian warplanes have been hitting targets at many civilian residential areas and the frontlines of the opposition in Syria's northwestern Idlib province.
Idlib has been a haven for rebels and their families evacuated out of areas won back by the government, but there is no obvious place for them to move to within Syria if they abandon the province now. Representatives from Turkey, Russia and Iran will meet with Staffan de Mistura, the United Nations special envoy on Syria, early next week.
"Idlib is different from other regions because of the large numbers of fighters", Haidar said.

Our global reliance on plastic is destroying the world's oceans and finding its way into our tap water. The belly of the whale is the belly of you. Save the whales, and we save ourselves.
Recently, a young pilot whale washed up in Thailand vomiting seven plastic bags before dying. During his autopsy, 17 pounds of plastic were found inside him, including 80 more toxic plastic bags.
This is a horror story unfolding around the world. In April, a young Sperm whale - the world's largest whale with sonar that would bust your eardrums! - washed up in Spain with 64 pounds of plastic lodged in his stomach.
The belly of the whale is the belly of humanity.
Microplastics, found in products like cleansers and toothpastes, are prevalent in mussels and other filter feeders, in our sushi, our sea salt and in our drinking water.
The World Health Organization launched a global review of our drinking water last month after an analysis found microplastics in popular bottled water brands twice as high as in our tap water - which, in the US, includes 94.4% of our drinking water.
The state of plastics in our waters is not OK for me. Is it OK for U?
OKFORU is a project by Julia Morrison that invites you to fear nothing but complacency. Please join us in calling on Mayor De Blasio to lead on this crisis and ban single use plastic bags, straws, and styrofoam in New York.

A DIY Food Project
A few years ago, while visiting our family for Easter, Dara and I decided to raid our mother's kitchen, and dye hard-boiled eggs with whatever we could find that we thought would give off color. We didn't do a whole lot of research into the technique of this, but I will say, the results were not half bad.
This year, I found my self a little further away from home, and for the first time, not with family. I remembered the dozens of eggs my Noni would make for us each year (a dozen alone with my name attached) and thought back to the dye experiment with Dara. This time, I did a little more research, and came across a better formula, and some ideas for different materials to use.
Some examples:
- Purple cabbage — makes blue on white eggs, green on brown eggs
- Red onion skins — makes lavender or red eggs
- Yellow onion skins — makes orange on white eggs, rusty red on brown eggs
- Shredded beets — makes pink on white eggs, maroon on brown eggs
- Red Zinger tea — makes lavender eggs
I decided to go with cabbage, beets and tea and used a mixture of white and brown eggs. To make the dye, simply combine equal parts of each dye matter (cabbage, beets, etc) and water in a saucepan (with the exception of the tea which should be 1 bag to each cup of water), and bring to a boil. Simmer for 30 minutes, and let cool to room temperature. Most blogs I found with tips for this project felt that 4 cups of dye per dozen eggs would be sufficient. I had three eggs for each color, and made about 1.5 - 2 cups of dye per color.
Once cooled, strain the liquid through a mesh strainer into another bowl and add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to every cup of liquid.
Because some of these dyes are potent in their coloring - especially the beets - I used various glass jars for the dying process, to ease the cleanup. I will say that the tight spaces these jars offered caused some spotting on the eggs, so it is recommended to use a baking dish to allow the eggs to be in one layer. Place the eggs in whichever containers you've chosen, and pour dye over, making sure the eggs are completely submerged.
Place the containers of eggs-in-dye into the refrigerator overnight and gently rinse once desired hue is reached.
I absolutely LOVE the colors that were produced. The cabbage reminds me of indigo dye, and the tea was almost marble looking. The beets, while didn't make very red looking eggs, made the egg whites pink!
And while easter egg dying may be "so last week", you can take these natural dyes and play around with some dipping paper or fabric....a natural dyed spring scarf would be gorgeous!
Here are some guidelines for working with fabric:
Prepare your fabric
Before you start the dyeing process, you'll want to prep your fabric. First, wash the fabric. Don't dry it though – it needs to be wet. Then prepare your fixative or "mordant." This is to help the fabric take up the dye more easily. For berries you'll want to use salt and for any other plant material, you'll want to use vinegar.
- Salt: dissolve ½ cup salt in 8 cups cold water
- Vinegar: blend 1 part white vinegar to 4 parts cold water
Place your damp fabric in the fixative solution for an hour. Rinse with cool water when done. Then, it's time to dye the fabric.
The dyeing process
Before you start, cover the surface of your work area and be sure to wear gloves so you only color the fabric, not your countertops and hands. Then, prepare your dye.
- Place the plant material in a large non-reactive pot (like stainless steel or glass). Remember the dye could stain some pots and spoons, so use these only for dyeing.
- Fill pot with twice as much water as plant material.
- Simmer for an hour or so, until you get a nice dark color.
- Strain out the plant material and return the liquid to the pot.
- Carefully place the fabric in the dye bath and bring to a slow boil. Simmer for an hour or so, stirring once in a while.
- Check your fabric. Remember, it will be lighter when it dries. An hour should produce nice color, but darker hues can be achieved by allowing to sit longer, even overnight. Turn the pot off after an hour and allow fabric to sit in the warm water as long as needed.
- When you get the color you want, take the fabric out and wash in cold water. Expect the color to run some as the excess dye is washed out
- Dry as usual.
Next year, more colors!

In the thread "New Range of SCW Aircraft" (http://www.kampfgruppe144.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2898), I mentioned the possibility of a poll to "test the waters" for aircraft that participated in the Spanish Civil War. Well, I converted my list into an appropriate poll, which you can now access by clicking the link, below:
A number of these aircraft also participated in WW2 and beyond, so if any whet your appetite but you're not a SCW fan, feel free to vote. As with previous polls on this forum and the Kampfgruppe144 blog, you can vote for more than one selection. I have included an "Other" option for those of you who have a fave not on the list. The one requirement is that it MUST have participated in some way during the Spanish Civil War. If you are not sure, visit http://www.zi.ku.dk/personal/drnash/model/spain/index.html, which will give you a pretty good idea if your choice qualifies or not.
I haven't included aircraft like the Bf109E or I-16 Rata as both are currently available as gashapon and/or injection-molded items.

Bedwetting is uncontrolled urination during sleep. Another name for this condition is nocturnal enuresis. It is most commonly seen in children, but adults can also be exposed to this problem. The disease involves inability to hold urine inside the bladder. Children of 3 years old and younger haven't learnt how to self-control, which is considered to be a norm for their age. However, for older kids and teenagers bedwetting can become a serious problem in the social adaptation and communication with other people.
The most common factors that cause bedwetting are psychological. It can be a psychological trauma, stress or strong consternation. Pathologies in the urinary tract may also lead to enuresis. The disease can develop as a complication of an infection or inflammation in the genitals (Sexually Transmitted Diseases). Moreover, unhealthy lifestyle, incorrect nutrition, endocrine system disorders may also end up in bedwetting.
Other factors include:
Bedwetting can develop in women of 45-50 years old as a menopause-related symptom.
To choose a proper treatment, it is important to determine the character of the disease. Bedwetting is divided into primary and secondary forms. Primary bedwetting defines cases of night urination, when the patient does not feel when the bladder is full, and doesn't wake up if urination occurs. The second type involves uncontrolled urination not only at night, but in the daytime as well. As a rule, it develops due to congenial or acquired diseases.
Nowadays, there are a lot of ways how to cope with this problem.

LitRPG News (01:33)
Blaise Corvin, author of Delvers LLC, recently released an early look at the cover art for his upcoming 4th book in that series. It will be titled Golden Handcuffs. Don't expect this one anytime soon. Blaise also stated he is going to release a whole new series called the Nora trilogy, set in the same universe before Delvers book 4.
In a recent Facebook Live, Aleron Kong announced that book 7 would not be ready on Nov. 19th, 2 years from the release of book 1. It turns out editing a 1000 page novel takes longer than a 400 page one. He's now 100% sure that a it will be ready by Dec. 3rd.
If you can't wait to get started, the first six chapters of the next book are on Aleron's Patreon page free for everyone. You just have to look through the posts a little to find them.
This weekend I'll be hosting a LitRPG author's game session. Myself, Charles Dean, James Hunter, Dakota Krout, Blaise Corvin, and Hugo Huesca will be playing some fun games, Live! You as an audience will be able to comment, ask questions, and make fun of us Live on YouTube. There's a link in the shownotes to the event. I hope to see you all there in the chatroom.

New Releases and Reviews
It's a good week in LitRPG, everything I'm reviewing is actually LitRPG. So, no 4s this week. I'll start with the the novels in a series.
(Picture 1)
Powerful necromancers are on the move and Cal is caught in the crossfire. Without his faithful Wisp, Dani, Cal's mind slips and he begins creating traps and monsters that go against his already loose morals. After a direct threat from an unexpected force causes Cal's mind to stabilize, he throws all of his resources into keeping his thoughts clear while he funds searches for his lost companion. When others fail him again and again, Cal decides to take matters into his own hands.
Deadly occurrences remind Dale that no matter how well he does in his small community, he is still considered a weakling in the greater world. Though he continues his physical and mental training, he decides to gain strength by any means necessary… even if these decisions are killing him
My Opinion: 406 pages, $4.99, Available on Kindle Unlimited
The day it released, it already hit #37 in all the Amazon paid books. That's really impressive since it's out of ALL of amazon's listed books. It also hit #1 spot in multiple categories.
The numbers don't lie folks.
There's all the dungeon stuff that you've come to like about the series and the storyline with Dale is just as entertaining if not more than the dungeon stuff.
It's great. I just could not put this thing down. Even at like 3am. Places other novels would just end, this novel uses as a stepping stone to more adventure.
There's a great ending that may have some people tearing up but I can assure you there's still some great dungeon on dungeon action too.
Score: 8 out of 10.
Dungeon Calamity (The Divine Dungeon Book 3)
(Picture 2)
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: A LitRPG Novella (Camelot Book 3)
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is the second and a half book in the Camelot Overthrown LitRPG Series.
Instead of Sir Gorrow as the hero, we have Sir Gawain in this retelling of the tale of honour and loyalty where the knights of King Arthur encounter a powerful supernatural creature who seemingly can cheat death but at the same time end their lives forever.
The mysterious Green Knight steps out of the winter cold, with his green holly branch and his might fey axe. This axe has tremendous powers and can kill most creatures with one shot. The Green Knight says it will belong to whoever is brave enough to cut off his head.
Gawain is that man.
The Camelot series features stories of Sir Gorrow in addition to Arthurian legends of chivalry and knighthood retold as LitRPG stories where the heroes' courage and honor is tested time and again.
My Opinion: 90 pages?, $0.99, Available on Kindle Unlimited
Galen Wolf has never been afraid to try new things in his LitRPG series. This time he's adding RPG elements to a retelling of a classic story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Don't worry if you've never read the poem or heard the story. Galen Wolf does a great job of staying true to the original tale but adding in modern MMO and RPG reasoning. It's just a good short side story.
Score: 8 out of 10
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: A LitRPG Novella (Camelot Book 3)
(Picture 3)
Desert Born (Puatera Online Book 2)
With her charge, Alex, safely delivered, Maddie drowns her pain in a local bar. Leaving later that night only to discover Alex has been beaten and robbed, his own quest failed. Politics and cash aside, she aids him. Once more they cross the desert, this time where Tromoal and enemies are born.
My Opinion: 113 pages, $1.99, Available on Kindle Unlimited
Book 1 in the series got a 6 out of 10. Book 2 gets the same but for different reasons.
The novel starts off well enough. There's some romance as the main character (MC), Maddie, finds Alex hurt in front of her car when she thought he'd left forever. She takes him to get healed and realizes how much she cares for him and he her. Nice.
The MC also has some very clear goals in this novel. Save the Tomoal (dragons). Get them some food to save their soon to hatch eggs. She has to rally the NPC community to get enough food for the entire clan. There are also some interesting revelations about why the MC is special and why she has such an interesting connection with the dragons. Cool stuff. The story was legitimately on it's way to a score of 7 out of 10.
**Spoiler ahead**
Then there's this weird plot twist at the 75% mark that comes out of nowhere and is just such a head scratcher that it derails the story a bit. I mean i know a lot of authors like a plot twist at the 75% mark, but genetically modified man eating cows? Really?
There's more to the twist and it leads to the addition of a cool dragon but It just feels like a way to delay the big resolution of the story to book 3.
Overall, the story is nice but it could have been good.
Score: 6 out of 10.
Desert Born (Puatera Online Book 2)
(Picture 4)
First Login (Chronicle Book 1)
Time in a capsule.
People seek out escapes through countless avenues, but when the product is extra time to live—within an emerging digital world—everyone's a customer. Game capsules transport players to a new world where time is perceived far more slowly. Why study for eight hours in the real world when you could get it all done in a single hour? Why work slowly? Why relax that way? Following this mentality, Chronicle has become more than a game for governments, businesses, and players alike.
When Corbin Landrick, an unlucky but hardworking guy, finally gets his hands on a ChronPod, he jumps headfirst into his second life. While he struggles to plant both feet firmly on the ground in a world of magic and monsters, he finds out that virtual reality is what you make of it.
My Opinion: 341 pages, $3.99, Available on Kindle Unlimited
This one turned out better than I thought it would. The current cover gives the impression that this is a Harry Potter type magic story and it isn't. It's a daily adventure/slice of life story about the adventures of Corbin Landrick or as he's known in the game Dakkin.
You follow the main character (MC) as he explores this strange new VR world where time compression has a 8:1 ratio. There are some places where story struggles, like the info dumps near the beginning, bt overall it's an entertaining adventure story. The game mechanics are solid throughout the entire story and once the MC gets his unique class it's fun to see how he grows in power and uses his new skills.
Score: 7 out of 10.
First Login (Chronicle Book 1)
(Picture 5)
Dawn of the Realms (The Realms of Mordred Book 1)
I remember the first day I picked up Dawn of the Realms. I remember turning to my best friend in the world, Sara, and telling her I was finally getting to play the game of my dreams.
I hadn't previously shown any skills in prophecy, so we'll chalk it down to the world having a sense of humor.
Six weeks later, I went to sleep in my bedroom after a long night of gaming, only to wake up again as my avatar within the game. From that point forward, every night, I woke up as my character within Dawn of the Realms. Except not just in the game - in a real, vibrant fantasy world, populated with real people. And plagued by real monsters.
This is the story of my first week within the Realms. The friends I made, the adventures I had, and the beginnings of a story that would envelop not just the game world, but my own.
My Opinion: 294 pages, $3.99, Available on Kindle Unlimited
I'll be completely honest. The author wrote into the podcast and asked that I review his novel. He said it was ok if the review wasn't good, he's looking for criticism.
So, here it goes. The writing at the beginning of this story is bad. I mean, there are so many issues that it's going to be hard for many people to get past it.
Not only is there constant tense changing, the tenses aren't even used correctly. The past is talked about in the present tense and the present is in the past tense. There are also time-line jumps where the main character is in the present, then he just decides to describe some history element of the game he's been playing. Then he might shift to a future event. Very confusing stuff.
However, the writing does get better, eventually. It's never great but it does become more consistent and understandable. Either that or my brain just began to ignore the issues.
The core story idea in the novel is neat. A college student is having these weird recurring dreams of himself inside the MMO he's been playing on his PC. These dreams are so vivid he just explores the world for the first few night. On the third night, he accepts a quest from a pretty girl to clear the forest of rodents. There he fights the creatures and wins, suffering only minor wounds. However, when he wakes up he's battered and bruised. He even bares a bite mark on his arm, in the exact same place the rat in the dream bite him. The question becomes, Is the main character (MC) connecting to the MMO in his dreams? Or is the MMO connecting to some other parallel world? Or is something else happening? If he's showing injuries from his fight, what happens if he dies in his dream?
A good section of the novel goes on to explore those questions. The MC starts to involve his friends and it turns into a more predictable adventure story. The MC and his group get a rival, go on some quests, and defeat the big bad guy by the end.
Overall, the story is rather predictable but the core story idea has promise. The ending neatly ties things up and has the potential to take the story in interesting directions. The novel's biggest flaw is the bad writing. It's especially bad in the beginning of the novel and even though it gets a bit better as the story goes on, most people won't be able to get past that bad start.
Score: 5 out of 10
Dawn of the Realms (The Realms of Mordred Book 1)
(Picture 6)
Steele Alchemist: A LitRPG Series
When bartender Jake Steele finds a portal in an abandoned building, he does what any bored guy would do – he walks through it.
He finds himself in a game-like world where his life is measured in stats and his violence is rewarded with experience points. Under the tutelage of an animal-butchering, whore-loving master, he learns to become an alchemist.
He used to mix drinks, but from now on he's going to be mixing things that are far deadlier.
My Opinion: 452 pages, $2.99, Available on Kindle Unlimited
Warning: Lots of cursing and penis references. Not particularly funny but more used in everyday language. Also lots of little spelling errors. That may bug you.
From the author of Monster Spawn and Arcane Survivalist.
Jake Steele feels unwanted and unneeded. His parents are dead. His best friend is leaving for college. He doesn't have anyone else who'll miss him if he disappears. After discovering a portal to another world, he waits two weeks to jump in, and discovers a world unlike any he'd imagined.
There's a lot of good backstory and character development in the first 6% but it doesn't really matter since the rest of the story takes place in the game world.
Jake is in this world with RPG mechanics by the 7% mark of the story. The world is pretty vaguely described at the beginning. Like, 'Oh, look mountains to the east, a forest to the north, a road to the west, and a hut to the south.'
I really wanted to like this story. I mean a whole novel about alchemy in a world with RPG mechanics? Yes please. Unfortunately, the alchemy and crafting aren't that great. Potion making comes down to mixing two ingredients together, an herb with magical properties, a base that enhanced magical properties (just another plant ground up), and water. Yes, I know that's three ingredients but in the story the author insists that potion making only has two.
Which brings me to a very common issue with the story. The errors. The novel has lots of tiny errors. Spelling errors. Game mechanic errors. But most striking, the author mistakenly changes a major character's name mid-story. The alchemist that is teaching Jake starts out as Carson. Then his name switches to Cason. Then back to Carson. Then it stays Cason for the rest of the story. He changes names again at the end of the story but that's part of a silly plot twist that made me roll my eyes.
The game mechanics are pretty light. We see them when the main character identifies things (names), crafting, and when he looks at his character sheet. Jake seems to level after almost every fight, regardless of who the opponent is. It's sort of an inconsistency that the reader has to just accept because sometimes levels are given for enemies but mostly it's just a % of experience after the fight is over.
The story itself is decent. It's a coming of age story where Jake decides in a magical world what kind of person he wants to be. He does some crafting, kills some monsters, and saves the day. Not bad, just not amazing either.
Overall, between the many errors in the story and the lackluster crafting, the novel was only ok. It is the weakest of the authors LitRPG stories. A much stronger LitRPG story from him would be Arcane Survivalist.
Score: 5 out of 10
Steele Alchemist: A LitRPG Series
(Picture 7)
Deadly Realm: Fighting for Freedom
Survival is the name of the game.
Thrust into a world he could only imagine, Pax is forced to confront his fears and an altered reality. Once inside the game, the rules become deadly clear and there's only one way out. He thought being a die-hard gamer would give him an advantage, but battling monsters face-to-face leaves him questioning everything he once knew about himself. In a land filled with ogres, beasts, and dragons, survival becomes a desperate struggle. Out-sized, out-maneuvered, and out-powered, Pax must rely on his wits to keep him alive.
My Opinion: 84 pages, $0.99, Available on Kindle Unlimited
This short story starts off decently enough. Paxton Tyler wins opportunity to test out new game that's also supposed to help autistic children like his brother. Even better. He's getting paid to do it.
He's in the game by the 11% mark. Then it gets weird. He's immediately hit by his game guide, a pretty girl that tells him if he dies in the game he'll die in real life. Oh, and that he needs to hurry and complete the game so that she can escape, because she's trapped there. No reason for the rush, just 'because'.
From there it's a mix of bland monster fights and a confused attempt to implement a Total Recall style tension where the main character isn't sure what's real, what's the game, and who's apart of a conspiracy that's never explained.
The only RPG elements are a character sheet with stats. The main character is told repeatedly that he has to level up quickly or die, only there are no levels on that character sheet. The stats gradually increase each time the character sheet is shown, exactly 5 times. Other than that, no RPG elements.
Overall, the tension in the story feels forced and the early part of the game story feels rushed for no reason. Not particularly entertaining.
Score: 5 out of 10

Artist Spotlight: Music Maker Elders
inTheir Musicon November 22, 2017
If there are a matriarch and patriarch of Music Maker, they must be Algia Mae Hinton and Eddie Tigner.
Algia Mae Hinton is a Piedmont blues guitarist and buckdancer who, at 87, is as legendary for the musical community that continues to form around her, like moths to a brilliant flame, as she is for her own career. Eddie Tigner is the keyboardist of Ink Spots fame, who has lived through every twist and turn in the history of R&B and the blues and still, at 91, is one of the smoothest keyboardists in Atlanta. Music Maker has been honored to work with Algia and Eddie for over twenty years.
That's the idea—to be there with each other. It's the thing that makes Music Maker's mission unique. Algia and Eddie are among our oldest friends, and our commitment to them as partner artists is more than a commitment to them as musicians. It's a commitment to them as people.
Make Your Donation TODAY to Support Our Vital Culture!
When the touring stops, or when the hands and feet can't do what they once could, important figures like Algia and Eddie continue to be mainstays of their communities, purveyors of knowledge, and respected elders. Music Maker pays tribute to these matriarchs and patriarchs of southern music by committing to supporting them throughout their lives. People who have worked so hard and created so much for all their lives should be able to sit down and take some well-earned rest.
Algia has been with Music Maker since its very first year, when she was one of the core group of founding partner artists. She says she's danced so much and told so many stories in her 87 years that she wore out her legs, but she promises she'll dance again. As one of the last surviving members of her generation of the old Piedmont blues players, Algia is an important link for artists from across the country who come to her side and her home to be a part of the tradition she nurtures. Algia never made a full career out of music, but her stature as a buckdancer, guitarist, and songwriter is legendary. For followers of the Piedmont tradition, going to Algia's place is like making Hajj. More creative life has sprung from Algia than from most any other person, both from herself and from the kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids she continues to teach. The days of festival stages and album recordings are over, but Algia is surrounded by friends and family. She still makes music for them.
"Algia Mae is a great example of what is called throughout the African diaspora "Original Joe:" an innovative character who survives and creates anew under all circumstances," Taj Mahal once said of her. Tim Duffy says, "She's one of the most strongest and most rock-solid musicians I've ever worked with, period." She grew up working hard for her farming family in Johnston County, NC, then picked cucumbers to raise seven kids alone. But if her family gave her work, they gave her music and dance first. She's lost a lot in life—a husband, a home—but she knows how to make life and medicine out of music. This is the kind of knowledge we turn to our elders for.
Eddie Tigner, still tickling the ivories at 91, knows a similar truth. Things are changing and slowing down for Eddie, but although he no longer tours, he still holds court at the piano stool. Health issues took him away from the road, but he kept up a regular presence around Atlanta playing at Northside Tavern and Fat Matt's Rib Shack. Alzheimers pulled him away from his job working in a school cafeteria, but still nothing has stopped the music. He'll be ringing in 2018 with a New Years Eve concert. How does Eddie stay well in his winter years? His answer is pretty simple: By keeping the faith, and doing right by others so that they will do right by him.
Eddie learned to play the piano in the military, where talent abounded among the enlisted men. In 1947, he was asked to join the Ink Spots, one of the most popular groups of the '40s that produced a number of touring "Ink Spot" bands. He toured the vaudeville circuit with Snake Anthony too, hitting 48 states on the road between Snake and the Ink Spots. When Tim met Eddie, he was the youngest artist to join Music Maker. Now, he's the oldest. Music Maker has supported him staying active in music, recording his solo work, arranging tours, and keeping important needs met. In these later years, Eddie tells us that our sustained support has enabled a good life for him.
We support folks like Eddie and Algia because we honor our elders, and value what they've taught us: Music is medicine. Treat each other well. What you have, give it to your neighbor.
— Zoe Van Buren

If it's a bug fix, or a change in order-of-operations causing slightly different floating point truncations, we are free to make those fixes (even under the current back-compat policy)? Ie, nothing is changing for those cases. But, say we found some improvement to how Lucene does scoring, and by and large it improves relevance so we want to do it. New users should see this benefit. Back-compat users, I think, should be able to set actsAsVersion to get back to the old scoring model. So yeah I think I agree it's not just changes that affect what gets indexed, but also changes that affect how scores are computed, where we need a way to specify a back-compat version on upgrading. I think we can't get away with only policy changes here... I think we need actsAsVersion to preserve back-compat.
