The Angelic Message: Hang in There!
William Murchison, The American Spectator
I do not know the repertory of the heavenly host beyond what St. Luke reports: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." But I submit there had to have been more, possibly snipped by an editor's scissors to get rid of excess type. There must have been an anthem anticipating the skitterings and flitterings of the human audience for which the Christmas Event came to pass: an anthem like "Hang in there. Stay with us. This won't be easy. But look Who's in charge."
Christmas 2018: Not the Worst of Times
Patrick J. Buchanan, Townhall
America has endured, in the lifetime of its older generations, far worse Christmases than this. An unacknowledged cause of establishment frustration and rage at Trump's pullout from Syria and Afghanistan is the growing realization that the post-Cold War new world order it has sought and still seeks to create is likely never to be. Indeed, it is now visibly slipping away. The American people refuse to subscribe to its global agenda. They will not pay the price in blood, treasure and distraction from our own troubles here at home. Trump's victory was America's way of saying, "Goodbye to all that!"
Our Christmas Blessing and the Real Religion of Peace

The Islamic Terrorists Wage Real War on Christmas
L. Brent Bozell III and Tim Graham, CNS News
Secularists have no moral right to be indifferent on the religious assault on Christians, much less treat Islam as the persecuted religion. Christians are deemed sinful if they don't love their fellow man without qualifiers; radical Muslims are deemed holy if they kill you if you're anything but one of them. How many more must be slaughtered for secularists to realize they are fighting the wrong religion?
The death throes of political correctness
Poltical correctness
Editors, Washington Examiner
As Trump repeatedly did and said things that would have ended anyone else's political career, he won rather than lost admiration. Why? Because by example, not just by precept, he rejected, day in and day out, every convention and custom demanded by an overbearing, supercilious and detested cultural elite. He became the champion of the common man because he made himself the enemy of their enemy.
Christmas with the Presidents, from Washington to Reagan
Lee Edwards, CNS News
Christmas is a time to remember the ancient proverb, "It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness." And this year, it is a prime opportunity to give thanks for a "tree of candles"—the White House Christmas tree—and what it has meant to Americans through the years.
Washington Irving's Christmas: The way it should be
Rich Lowry, National Review
Washington Irving, the literary genius who gave us "Rip van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," helped define it. Not only did Irving write about a pipe-smoking, wagon-riding, gift-dispensing St. Nicholas, he delineated a Christmas celebration of irresistible charm and enduring appeal.
Washington's Christmas Poem: 'Assist Me to Sing the Morn, On Which the Savior of Mankind Was Born'
Ali Meyer, CNS News
The book, "George Washington the Christian," by William J. Johnson highlights Washington's religious foundation, his prayers, his religious habits, and his actions taken as a Christian soldier. One of the stories that Johnson recounts of a 13-year-old Washington includes some verses that he copied on Christmas Day.
At Christmas 2015, causes for conservative joy
Timothy P. Carney, Washington Examiner
It's easy for a conservative to despair at the state of things today. But Christmas is a season of hope, and if one looks back at 2015, it's not hard to find glimmers of cheer for conservatives.
Christmas Challenge To Leftists: Stop Appropriating Christian Culture
Emily Jashinsky, Daily Caller
I'm issuing a challenge to my liberal friends—if you don't believe Jesus Christ is your Savior, don't skip work on December 25. Don't put up a Christmas tree. Don't listen to Christmas music. Don't watch It's A Wonderful Life.
Christ birth
CHQ Staff | 12/24/2015
The Christian message and the story of Christ's journey on Earth begin and end with the word "peace." In these troubled times when Christians are being tested and when part of that test is parsing the truth from the multitude of lies about the moral equivalence between Christ's message of peace and the violence and depravity of another "religion of peace," we urge you take to heart the certainty of the message of peace Christ bestowed upon us.
You Can't Say "Christmas" In Shakespeare's English
Folger Consort
Holiday concert
George Rasley, CHQ Editor | 11/30/2015
Eliminating the word "Christmas" from the marketing of a concert of Christian festive or sacred music is an absurdity which annoys and insults Christians, whose music after all is being appropriated without regard for its sacred message. Next year, at this "hallowed" and "gracious" time, we urge our friends at the Folger not to banish the Savior from the music that celebrates his birth.
The Most Important Gift You Can Give This Christmas Is You

The gift God asks of us at Christmas is to make a sacrifice of ourselves and to turn away from sin and give ourselves to Jesus Christ.

The Gift of Christmas is Fulfilled at Easter
By CHQ Staff | 12/25/13
Now is the time to open your heart to the gift of God's only begotten Son – follow the star that shines over Bethlehem and leads to a humble manger and, if you believe in him, to a Cross, the Resurrection, forgiveness of your sins and life everlasting.

Congress Eyes Christmas Tree Tax
new taxes
Cheryl K. Chumley, The Washington Times
"A 15-cent tax may not seem like much," said Daren Bakst of the Heritage Foundation. "However, taxes are a death by a thousand cuts. One of those cuts shouldn't come from the Christmas tree. One way to actually hurt the image of the Christmas tree is to make it a symbol of taxation during the holiday season."
Movie Review: Max Lucado's "The Christmas Candle"
The Christmas Candle
By Renee V. Coffman | 12/02/13
If you're looking for a cozy, thought-provoking Christmas movie to remind you that there is more to the holiday season than the intense consumerism pushed on us by merchants, then it would be worth your time to see Max Lucado's, "The Christmas Candle."

I'm considering the next upgrade to my system. I currently use a PWD Mk II with Bridge —> BAT 51 SE preamp —> Pass Labs 30.8 —> Tekton Double Impact Speakers.
The system has a very nice sound, but I am always looking for ways to improve. I currently live on the edge of town in a new subdivision, and I run all of my audio components off of a 20Amp dedicated circuit.
I've read on the forums that even in a "relatively clean" power environment, the P12 can have a significant improvement on sound.
Similarly, the DirectStream DAC notably improves on the sound of the PWD Mk II, and is well-documented on these forums.
With that in mind, which of these two components would have the greater impact on my system?
I start with the least expensive/bang for the buck upgrade. If you're happy with your power and signal cables, then I'd go for the regenerator. My first one was a P5 and the improvement was impressive.
Gosh that's a tough call. Both are going to be a big improvement.
Generally I like to start with perfect power - a power plant sets the foundation for the rest of your system and will elevate everything else you're running.
Now on the flip side, I asked 2 other folks on our team here what they would upgrade in your shoes and they both said they'd go for the DirectStream before they did the P12. Go figure.
I guess the take away is you can't go wrong either way.
I have both a P5 (P12 predecessor) and a Directstream Dac. I'd go for the Directstream dac. A P12 isn't powerful enough for a Pass Amp. I only use mine for the source components and BHK preamp.
IMHO it all starts from the wall outlet. I have relatively clean power. I just replaced my PPP with the P15 and there's a very noticeable improvement. Voltage in and out were measured the same between the PPP and the P15 but yet there was an improvement.
I can only see the P12 doing the same for you.
As great the improvement that a power plant will bring to your system the difference in your DAC and the Direcstream will be many orders of magnitude greater! And as wonderful as it sound with Snowmass it will get even better with Ted's next release! The gift that keeps on giving!
@RonP Thanks! It's a good little amp; arguably bass shy, but still pretty good.
@Schroedster I think you might be right! I guess the fact that people are just as conflicted on this question as I am means you are probably spot-on.
@watchdog507 I figured if anything, the Pass would be an easier load for the P12 since it is a constant wattage. It's always pulling just under 400 watts, unless I really crank it up. Then maybe a little more. Do you think the constant draw of the 30.8 is better or worse for the P12?
@audiophilehi I definitely think there would be an improvement to the system. I can always hear differences throughout the day. My wife makes fun of me because I think I can hear differences in the sound of the system when she has the washer and dryer turned on. I think the sound gets a little washed out when all of the household appliances are running. She thinks I am crazy!
@sixpack1 In all honesty, I find the PWD Mk II a little forward, and strident; but also extremely dynamic when directly coupled directly to the Pass. I purchased the BAT with the hopes of taming the brightness of the PWD, and it worked. Mids and highs sound great, a little loss of detail, but absolutely non-fatiguing. Problem is, the BAT rolls of the bass a little bit, so I bought a monster subwoofer. Turns out the combined impedance of the subwoofer and the Pass is 18K ohms; the bass is even worse when driven by the BAT.
So maybe the solution is the DirectStream direct coupled to the Pass. No preamp, and no subwoofer.
Thanks for the input everyone! Looks like the consensus is… they're both great products.
I have the same amp and similar consideration.
I will upgrade my DAC. I recently did a shop demo, the DS was ahead of the TT2+Msacler, and on par with Dave (not same sound, Dave wider, maybe more resolution, but thinner)…the DS was on Redcloud.
Anyway, with what I read on the threads, I am thinking that I should be waiting on the TSS to see price and quality.
But I am also thinking that as I liked the DS, maybe my system might benefit more from DS+PP than TSS (or any other high priced DAC.
I hope to ask my dealer not only for a DAC demo at home, but to also bring a PP. (He already offered to do a DS vs Dave at home for a few hours, but I did not take him up on the offer, wanting to wait for TSS).
In theory (my head tells me), you should improve your power plant first if you have the $$. Having said that, I have to tell you – speaking from the heart (and ears) – the PSA DirectStream Sr. DAC is one of the top three, most significant upgrades I have ever made to my system in 20 plus years. The others were the addition of my Anthony Gallo Acoustics Reference 3.1 speakers and Anthem Room Correction via Anthem Pre-Pros. To my (and others') ears, the DSD Sr. is a trans-formative piece of kit. This is a truly high-end product and if you have decent speakers, I expect you to be really impressed with it. Having said all that, the PW MK II was no slouch so your tunes probably sound pretty good already. Given the rest of your kit, you could just flip a coin, pick one, and then toss the coin into a jar and start saving for the other!
Is your home's electrical system relatively modern and in good shape? Are your appliances relatively new? Do you share the utility transformer with older homes/appliances? Do you share your substation with old/heavy industries? Have you noticed the sound clearing up after 11pm and/or on weekends? If you don't have any of the above worries I would definitely go with a new DAC.
John Darko has compared the DS Sr vs the DAVE and he had the same opinion as you, interestingly enough.
If harshness and digital glare are your problems, I can't think of a better fit than the DS (at least until the TSS comes out).
If it helps with your decision making process, we will be offering a generous trade-up program for current PS DAC owners who wish to upgrade to the TSS when it's available.
Regarding the Pass on the P12, I'd be comfortable running it. As you said, 400 watts continuous is well within the P12's operational range.
I'm still of the opinion that the DS Dac is the route to go. Just because the 400 watt draw is within the spec of the P12, doesn't mean that it will sound its best. Years ago I had a Krell KSA 250 through TICE Power Conditioners that were as heavy as the KSA 250. It should have been fine, but it wasn't. The sound lost it's dynamics. Even Paul told me that running 2 BHK 300's out of a P10 at the time wasn't really recommended. Let your ears be the judge in the end. I run my BHK 300's right out of a dedicated circuit.
The BHK 300 spec show a power consumption of up to 1600W for 300W into 4 ohm, much higher than the constant 400W used by the class A 30 W Pass amp. So lack of power for the BHK does not mean lack of power for the Pass;…at least that is my theory.
Hallelujah, and thank you, PS Audio!


Product Managers are inevitably fallible, and features you once thought would be something your customers would embrance, end up being 'dead-wood'. That feature is not given nearly attention you have envisiged, and you decide to put it out to greener pastures. It happens, every company does it, big and small, like we just saw this week, when Facebook shut down it's Parse services, but how does one go about sunsetting a product feature?
Through your analytics tool, and feature metric-tracking, you should be able to assert how many users (as a percentage) use that feature, compared to the rest. If its a specific plan tier (i.e free tier), a specific function (i.e follow a user), note down the %.
The percentage of course needs to be based over-time, rather than indefinitely, so set a baseline for what you determine to be frequently (i.e once a day, once a week, once a fortnight). The importance is you are looking for retentative usage metrics, not acquisition usage metrics.
In addition to percentage of users, assert how lucrative that feature is as a percentage as well, over a specific period of time, such as a quarter or year. This will then allow you to determine firstly how insignificant the revenue is, and secondly, that the revenue is indeed falling over time.
You need to ask yourself, and more importantly, ask your customers why they weren't using it. Send a Mailchimp survey, or within the app, ask your users a quick one or two question survey, which will help assess whether it's due to function or awareness. This will also help answer whether you have done all you can to make the feature aware, or the feature in fact addresses a tangible customer need.
If after those steps you determine that the feature should be deprecated, it should be done delicately, with minimal disruption, and maximum forewarning. You start off by not allowing new users (those who have just signed up or haven't used the feature) access to the feature.
For existing users, you then send out an email explaining that you are removing the feature, and why you are removing it, giving them ample time to backup or transition. Facebook with it's Parse deprecation is giving its users up to one year to transition out. Ideally, you should provide them with a utility and guidance on how they can migrate out data from that feature, if applicable (i.e a calendar). You can also give those users some suggestions on alternative tools available that can solve that need, which in the case of Parse, Facebook recommended Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure.
Determining to sunset a product feature properly, with due diligence, and then managing existing user expectations properly, with clear and concise communication is key to deprecating a feature. If you fail to do it properly, you raise the prospect of users becoming disgruntled, unsettled and concerned that other features they rely on may fall unexpectedly as well.
Loose the feature without loosing your customers, that is the key lesson!


A frequent question by our physician clients at the contracting stage is, "Is this enforceable." In most instances, both parties should avoid as much as possible any scenario where that question would need to be answered because the only way to answer it is through litigation and a decision by a judge hearing the case. Such litigation, unlike most litigation, will involve an employer's request, by a motion typically filed with the lawsuit, for temporary and preliminary injunctive relief, seeking to bar the former employee from continuing in some employment or other undertaking that allegedly violates one or more restrictive covenants in the employment agreement. This type of action often accelerates the litigation significantly, resulting in considerable expense and risks to both sides. For the employer, the business risks include an adverse decision that may call into question the validity of many other similar contractual provisions contained in agreements with employed physicians. For the physician, the risks include losing a new employment opportunity, either because of an adverse court decision or the angst of the new employer about being embroiled in a dispute. Given these realities, most of the time, a dispute over a restrictive covenant in a physician employment agreement will not make it to court and, even if it does, rarely will the litigation be resolved by a decision on the merits (as opposed to a negotiated settlement).
Nevertheless, whether a restrictive covenant is "enforceable" is far from immaterial. To give "enforceability" proper consideration, each party should consider having its/his/her lawyer review the restrictive covenant(s) to determine if the contractual provisions and underlying factual details, taken as a whole, support the conclusion that the restraints on the physician's ability to work are truly reasonable. To evaluate reasonableness of the restraint on trade, Georgia law's traditional factors are the duration of the restrictions, total geographical reach of the restrictions, breadth of proscribed activity and whether public policy would be served or disserved by enforcement of the provision. The type of contract in which the restrictive covenant exists is often considered by the Court.
The Court's discretion is the paramount factor. Also, as a practical matter, which judge the parties draw when suit is filed and how he or she views the presentation of evidence and counsel's arguments will, obviously, factor heavily into the outcome. Moreover, in Georgia and other "blue pencil" states (where the judge is authorized to essentially modify the contract to conform to what the judge determines is a reasonable restraint on trade), the Court's view of what is reasonable and what is not may actually result in changes to the contract that conform to the Court's view.

M'TOWN: THEFT, SHOPLIFTING, BURGLARY
By DUSTIN RACIOPPI
Shoplifting, car break-ins and credit card theft are among the crimes that have kept Middletown police busy as of late.
The department made six arrests for the various crimes in the last 11 days.
Details after the jump.
Three township men are accused of conducting a credit card fraud that resulted in $1,556.45 in unauthorized transactions.
James Guadagno, 36, of Navesink River Road, Christopher Newrock, 22, of Evergreen Terrace, and Edward Malek, 23, of Clinton Avenue, were arrested and charged with conspiracy and fraudulent use of a credit card after a joint investigation between the police and United States Secret Service.
Police said Malek knew the unnamed victim and stole their credit card. He, Guadagno and Newrock then set up a fake Paypal account to access the card and receive cash from fraudulent transactions made from the account, Detective Lieutenant Steve Dollinger said.
Malek was in possession of the credit card when he was arrested and was also charged with theft after police connected him to jewelry stolen from the victims, Dollinger said.
He was held on $22,500 bail, while Guadagno and Newrock were released on a summons pending a court appearance.
On March 12, police arrested a 32-year-old man for attempting to swipe a pair of sunglasses at Sears on Route 35, Dollinger said.
Todd Gunderson, of Grove Street, was arrested at about 5p Saturday and charged with shoplifting after store security saw him attempting to take the pair of glasses from the store, Dollinger said.
He was processed and released on a summons pending a court appearance.
Two young men were arrested earlier this month for allegedly breaking into cars and stealing various items from them, Dolliner said.
Eighteen-year-old Joshua Lindner, of Kimberly Drive, and Joseph Wyckoff, 19, of Nautilus Drive, were arrested March 3 and charged with burglary, theft, receiving stolen property and conspiracy for breaking into and stealing from cars in the area of Joycee Court, police said.
The two broke into at least five vehicles and stole various items, Dollinger said.
Wyckoff received an additional charge of possession of less than 50 milligrams of marijuana when police found the marijuana in his car during the course of the investigation.
Both were released from jail on summonses pending a court appearance.

Maria R Djordjic, 19, August 14, 1993, Addison, DuPage County, Illinois
(Statement: I'm saddened for Maria and her family that there are no public pictures I have been able to find for Maria Djordjic's. Her tragic death should not be forgotten.)
Maria moved out of an apartment she shared with a girlfriend and made plans to move back in with her father in the fall of 1992. She was starting college near her father, and asked a couple to move in with them for a few weeks before moving back in with her father. Floyd and Susan Graf converted their den of their one bedroom condominium into a bedroom, and Maria paid $60 a week to stay there. The Graf's gave notice to the current tenant, Geno Macri to move out, because he did not pay the rent or cover his own expenses.
On Saturday, August 14, 1993, Floyd left the residence at 7:30 a.m. for work, and Susan left about noon with her three-year-old daughter, Marcie for a family birthday party. Maria was sleeping on the sofa bed. When Susan and Marcie returned that afternoon, they found Maria murdered, naked from the waist down, with her head covered with a pillow. There was no one else in the residence. Maria's purse, VCR and car were missing.
On June 10, 1994, Geno Macri was arrested for Maria's murder in New York City. During his interview, he admitted to killing Maria in a taped confession. On the day of Maria's murder, he was alone in the residence with Maria and found her sleeping on the sofa bed. She got up, took a shower, and dressed in green shorts and a top. Macri asked Maria if she wanted 'to fool around', which of course she declined. That made him upset, Macri went in to his bedroom and got a crowbar, went back to Maria where he found her sitting on the corner of the sofa bed, where he hit her over the head with the crowbar. She fell back on the bed and started bleeding. He jumped on top of her and repeatedly hit her in the head with the crowbar, as she tried to defend herself by lifting her hands and kicking at him. Eventually she stopped fighting, and stopped moving. He tried cleaning up the crime scene and did his laundry. While he was doing his laundry, he put a pillow over Maria's head, took off her shorts and raped her. He then took her car and other items including the VCR and some of his own items. He pawned the VCR in the near neighborhood, went back to the residence, took his laundry, packed his things, and drove Maria's car to New York City. Before leaving, he went to Maria's body, and raped her again.
Macri admitted to purchasing the crowbar for other assaults, to take women's purses or hitting a woman over the head. He planned to commit those attacks along the Illinois Prairie Path. He admitted to stealing Ohio plates to replace with Maria's plates. He admitted to attempting to sell her vehicle at six different car dealerships in New Jersey, but failed as he had no title. He instead sold parts of her vehicle. He attempted to use her ATM card, which also failed.
On August 19th, 1993, Maria's vehicle was located by the New York City Police, with the stolen Ohio plates. That vehicle was in a video footage with Macri driving it at the ATM using Maria's card.
In court, Macri's friend William Madalinski testified that he and another friend, Ernie Silvesteri went to that apartment to ask him if he wanted to play basketball. Between 12:20 p.m. and 12:45 p.m., they got to the residence, beeped the corn in the parking lot where Macri went to the window, and said he didn't want to go with them. Minutes later, he came to them outside and repeated he didn't want to go. In court, the Village Pawn & Jewelry in El Grove Village, IL employee testified that Macri pawned that VCR on the same day at 1:40 p.m., the day of Maria's murder. Another witness, a neighbor of the Graf's testified that about 2:00 p.m. the same day, she saw Macri drive Maria's car in to the lot. Another friend of Macri's, Tom Richardson testified that October 31, 1992, he visited Macri at the residence, where he told Richardson he was going to hit Mara over the head with a crowbar, rape her, and take off to New York City in her car. He even reported that Richardson that he would attack Maria when she exited the bathroom of the apartment, and showed Richardson the crowbar from where he kept it at his dresser, with one end of it wrapped in black electrical tape. Richardson admitted to not reporting this threat to Maria or the police believing that Macri was only joking.
Macri was found guilty and sentenced to death, as back in this era, Illinois had the Death Penalty. He lost his appeals. Illinois has since stopped the Death Penalty. He currently resides at the HILL CORRECTIONAL CENTER since 11/02/1995 and is ineligible for parole.

High triglycerides (hypertriglyceridemia) is a condition of having too many triglycerides in the blood. Triglycerides are fats made up of three fatty acids (oleic, palmitic, or stearic) and glycerol. (The more correct name for triglycerides is triacylglycerols, which is more descriptive.) Factors that can elevate blood triglycerides include a refined carbohydrate diet, alcohol, obesity, untreated diabetes or hypothyroidism, chronic renal disease, and liver disease. Elevated triglyceride levels increase the risk for coronary heart disease. Triglyceride levels should be kept below 150 mg/dl.
Niacin: A B-complex family member, niacin is also known as vitamin B3 and nicotinic acid. Niacin lowers elevated cholesterol levels, as well as triglycerides.
L-Carnitine: This vitamin-like molecule is derived from two amino acids, and thus is often called an amino acid. It helps in burning fat, especially long-chain fatty acids, which the heart uses as an energy source.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (fish oil, flaxseeds): Fish oil, often recommended for elevated cholesterol levels, is actually better for lowering triglycerides. Make sure the supplement you use is purified (molecularly distilled).
Less Helpful: conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), gamma oryzanol, guar gum, inositol hexaphosphate (IP6), omega-6 fatty acid (GLA), policosanol.
Artichoke: This herb protects the liver, and aids in bile flow, thus helping in fat digestion.
Garlic: What can be said about garlic? It has an amazing range of beneficial properties, including lowering elevated triglycerides and cholesterol.
Red Yeast Rice: This extract is actually a natural statin drug, and is effective in smaller amounts than its prescription counterparts: lovastatin (Mevacor), pravastatin (Pravachol), simvastatin (Zocor). It should be taken with coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), since it also reduces the body's production of this important coenzyme.
Less Helpful: fenugreek, glucomannan, green tea, psyllium.
Steps to reduce elevated triglycerides include reducing intakes of sweets (including very sweet and dried fruit), other refined carbohydrates (white bread, etc.), fat, and alcohol, weight reduction (if overweight), and increasing activity levels. Blood tests can be influenced by what was recently eaten (also by alcohol and exercise), so you may not want to rely on the results of only one test.


A word of encouragement goes a long way.
That's something I've said before, and will continue to say because it's always true. In times of trouble, or in times of joy, encouragement from others uplifts the spirit.
I had this impression on my heart to make this week meaningful and special. So, I challenged myself to encourage several people every day this week.
Then I started thinking, how awesome would it be for my P&W family to join in on the challenge. Do you know how many people are struggling, hurting, doubtful, stressed, confused, depressed, and need someone — like you — to uplift them?
And there are countless ways you can encourage someone. Try writing them a letter and "snail mail" it. Send them a card, a thank you note. In this digital era, it's easier than ever to Facebook, Tweet, or email someone an uplifting message. With cell phones abound also, you can always text or if you're really creative, send a visual message to uplift them.
I decided to choose 2-3 people daily, but I'm only challenging you to choose one person a day.

← Muscle Loss : How to even up!?
I just had my followup two days ago with my surgeon. He doesn't ever say much when I go to my follow ups with him. He takes a quick look at the scar and says everything looks fine. He doesn't even really touch it to see. I told him about one of the sutures that poked through the skin. He didn't really seem to care. But said if it happened again to come see him. There are pretty ugly bunches and knots along the scar. I'm guessing that's either scar tissue or it's the suture bunching up under the surface. Either way, he didnt seem to care much about that either. Sigh. Why do I go to these followups again?
Anyways, no thanks to my surgeon, I have this new thing called Mepiform that my physiotherapist gave to me because she even thought my scar was pretty nasty looking. It's a silicon dressing you put on the scar and leave on 24/7 pretty much. One strip lasts 4-7 days which is pretty awesome. Apparently it's going to help with the bulging and redness of the scar. I'll have to wait and see.
I'm having trouble uploading photos on here from my phone so I can't show you but next post, ill be sure to post some pics! Hopefully with some improvement on the scar!!
Skim, in Australia our Occupational Therapists deal with scar management. I wonder if they also do in America. You could ask your local hospital or community health service who does this?
Hope you find some answers soon!
Purple, I'm no doctor. Not a professional health-science researcher, either. Just a science-trained guy on the Internet who's interested, reads, understands, spends way too much time around here, and tries to explain what he thinks he knows.
My relationship to MDs is complicated. Mine are mostly great, though I've occasionally locked horns a bit with one or two of them. (At 68, I've collected a few of them!) But it's mostly other people's doctors, especially people here, who frustrate the #@$%^& out of me. And patients who follow their health professionals like a lapdog follows its master, also get me worked up.

Meet six local couples who are happily wedded to their work.
By C. Dimiti | Photo Credit: Adam Detour | Oct. 14, 2016
If The Shoe Fits
Sure, Ron Davis has gotten down on bended knee before thousands of women—but he's only ever proposed to one. As co-owners of Natick's Shoes to Dye For, he and his wife Lisa have helped outfit countless brides and bridesmaids with comfortable yet chic footwear and accessories, although it's often him suggesting fingertip- or cathedral-length veils and kitten heels while Lisa takes the lead on the paperwork side of things.
"People have all different types of relationships—it's really just what works for you," Ron says about what he's learned working with couples over the years, including unconventional brides who bring in their grooms for a sneak peek.
The couple's own Cinderella moment came 27 years ago, when they met at an anniversary party. They soon discovered that each other's family histories in the shoe industry went back three generations, and they even went shoe shopping during their first date. Ron jokes that he knew Lisa was The One when he found out she was a sample size 6.
Today, with their 17-year-old daughter Mandy helping out at the store, there's another generation involved, though her twin brother Josh "only stops by when he wants a free lunch," Ron jokes. Customers are more likely to meet the Davises' 6-year-old Havanese named Fenway, who, Ron says, "has his own fan club." And although the industry has changed over the years, he still loves the art of matching just the right shade of champagne to a gown—and carrying on a tradition. "Bridal shoes used to be part of every family shoe business, but it's really become a competitive, niche market now, and there are fewer and fewer stores like this," Ron says. "We're a dying breed, pun intended!"

It's here…our BBC Radio 4 Appeal
We've talked about it for months, we're sure you've been waiting for it and now it's finally here…our BBC Radio 4 Appeal.
This Sunday you'll be able to listen in to Victoria Hislop, our ambassador, as she explains how leprosy can severely change a person's life on the BBC Radio 4 Appeals programme. This is a weekly slot on the station which highlights the work of a UK charity each week.
We've been lucky enough to have Victoria present our appeal and you'll be able to hear her explain just what it is we do to help those affected by leprosy and how you can join us in transforming lives. More specifically she'll be telling the story of a young girl called Kajal. She was diagnosed with leprosy at 13 years old and although we have been able to help her, her life has been forever changed.
Read Kajal's story
For early risers you can catch the appeal on Sunday, that's the 15th of January, at 7:55am but for those who love a weekend lie in, we'll be on again at 9:25pm and then on Thursday 19th of January at 3:25pm. If you happen to miss all three time slots then just click here to go through to the BBC Radio 4 Appeals page and listen online.
Don't forget to tell your family, friends and co-workers and, after you've had a listen, get in touch and let us know what you thought!

Canada: Open for Business but New Rules for SOEs
December 10, 2012 (updated March 25, 2013)
Omar Wakil Dany H. Assaf
Canadian government approves CNOOC/Nexen and Petronas/Progress Energy acquisitions and announces new guidelines for SOE investments
Late last week the Canadian government approved the closely observed acquisitions by CNOOC of Nexen and by Petronas of Progress Energy Resources. The announcement was accompanied by new guidelines on investments in Canada by state-owned enterprises (SOEs).
Although the investments by state-owned CNOOC and Petronas were approved, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced that, in the future, proposed SOE investments to acquire control of an oil sands business would only be approved on an exceptional basis. That may restrict SOE oil sands acquisitions to situations where there is financial distress and no alternative investors. Non-controlling investments in the oil sands (including joint ventures) will continue to be welcomed and prior practice will remain unchanged for those non-controlling investments.
For SOE acquisitions of control, the government has now imposed three important requirements. While strongly worded, these requirements are unlikely to materially affect the vast majority of SOE investments.
First, although the government reiterated existing plans to increase the investment review threshold to $1 billion in enterprise value, it will retain the current $344 million asset value threshold for SOE acquisitions. As most oil sands and other significant SOE acquisitions are likely to be well above these thresholds, this change is not expected to result in many more SOE investments being reviewed than before.
Second, Ottawa will consider the extent to which the foreign government is likely to exercise influence over the SOE or the Canadian business. Although this sentiment was reflected in the prior SOE guidelines under the assessment of the commercial orientation and governance of SOEs, this announcement reflects a renewed and more direct consideration of this issue. Freedom from political influence will be an important factor in the assessment of net benefit, but is one of many factors that will be considered in the decision whether to approve an SOE acquisition.
Third, before approving further investments in a particular industry, the government will consider the degree of control or influence that SOEs (foreign governments) would likely exert on a particular Canadian industry. It appears that the government may now deny acquisitions that could lead to a high concentration of "foreign government" ownership in an industry to protect its private sector orientation. However, there are few industries in Canada in which there is any obvious risk of such concentration.
Outside the oil sands industry, the practical substance of the new guidelines contains little change compared with the previous SOE guidelines, although the tone of the government's attitude toward SOE acquisitions has become sharper. Even a strict application of the new approach is highly unlikely to prevent SOE acquisitions in most sectors.
However, there is a risk that the new approach will inadvertently have a chilling effect on SOE investments in Canada due to the perception that the government will not welcome any SOE control investments. We believe that transactions, including those involving SOEs, will continue to be approved under the Investment Canada Act. As before, investors will need to take appropriate steps to secure approval, such as offering strong net benefit packages of proposed undertakings early in the review process and managing the support of government and other stakeholders. For the small number of high-profile politically sensitive transactions that occur every year, investors should be prepared to make a public case for the approval of their transaction. This applies for non-SOE investors as well as SOE investors.
Not to be lost in the details of the announcement is that both the CNOOC and Petronas deals were ultimately approved, and that the prime minister has emphasized that "the Government continues to strongly encourage inward investment in Canada."

Remembering a WWII Veteran
I got an email from my dad this afternoon telling me his Uncle Bob passed away today. He was 95. My Great Uncle Bob was a WWII veteran, serving in the Army Air Corps on Okinawa at the end of the war.
In the email, my dad mentioned that when he was born, the whole Widmer clan lived in the same house in Herkimer, NY. By the time my father was a toddler, he'd identified Bob as his favorite uncle. Bob would take my dad to the playground and kept a watchful eye on him as he grew older. All the time Uncle Bob was in the Army, he would send my dad a dollar each month to put in a bank he had given him. When he returned from overseas, Uncle Bob took my dad and the money, bought my dad's first bicycle, which he taught him to ride.
Uncle Bob was not drafted until July of 1945, and Japan surrendered in August of 1945. Hence, the war was over before he arrived at Kadena Air Base on Okinawa, where he served as an aircraft mechanic. As I understand it, he worked on B-29s and P-47s, which continued to fly air defense and other missions during the occupation. Bob received a commendation signed by President Harry Truman for his service.
I still remember going to my Great Uncle Bob's house as a very young boy and playing with his two girls, Ellen and Ruth. We would also see them at Raquette Lake in upstate New York and at family reunions. I guess Ellen and Ruth would be second cousins. Uncle Bob and Aunt Lillian were wonderful people, and these are such great memories. American has lost another one of its heroes.
He was truly a wonderful man.

Revolution 2016: Take Back America
This "entertaining" read is based on a satirical plot where Democrats win control of the House and Senate in 2014 and pass sweeping gun control and greenhouse gas legislation. Unintended consequences soon follow.
Events are similar to what is occurring in 2019. Anarchists step out of the shadows. Constitutionalists and gun owners rally to defend their Second and Fourth Amendment rights. States begin to defy the federal government and clashes occur. The military must choose between obeying their Commander in Chief's illegal orders or supporting their oath to defend the Constitution against domestic and foreign enemies. Resistance begins in various locations and then spreads across the nation. Patriots rally to take back America.
Could this happen in post 2020?
My thoughts …
First, let me again point out that this is a satirical work, and as Lee Boyland states himself, it is clearly over the top. It is also a great read!
The author spins current events into a prophetic tale that can't help but make you say, "hmmmmm." This book has it all … political correctness run amok, destroying the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendments, and crooked Teflon-coated "deep state" politicians that put their agenda over the welfare of the country.
The narrative reads well, and I finished it in a couple of days. I did not want to put it down, but as you know, life sometimes gets in the way. I had to take a few breaks from reading.
The story does have a potentially happy ending but takes the reader through a scenario that I hope America will not have to endure. Sometimes I do wonder, as I look at the devolution of our society today if our America will continue to exist for future generations or will we simply devolve into another failed nanny state.
Many American's will enjoy this excellent read. I also found it a bit reassuring to see that others view the current political situation in this country like I sometimes do. I give this book 5 Stars.

New Book Review Page
I have done a significant number of book reviews over the years, and it dawned on me that they become too easily lost among the other blog post in a typical blog feed.
Therefore, I created a new book review page called DC's Book Reviews and will display images of the books I have reviewed on the page. Each image will contain a link to that book review in my blog. I have been working on this for several days, and it is now ready to go live.
Voilà! A lot less searching.
I guess I've done about 40 or so book reviews. However, 16 have been added to date. I will keep working at this until all of them are on the book review page.
I do enjoy good books and reviewing them for other readers. However, lately, whenever possible. I have turned to audiobooks. I guess my eyes are getting a bit older, and too many years of working at the computer have taken its toll. Audiobooks are a great way to enjoy books, even with tired eyes!
While I only review books I have an interest in reading, anyone interested in having an honest book review done by me can contact me through my contact form. I will reply as quickly as I can.
Click here to view my new book review page. It is also a menu option a the top of the page.
Also, please check out Serpents Underfoot and Adirondack Bear Tales available on Amazon.com. Montagnard is now in the hands of my editor and will be released later this summer.

WWII Documentaries Available On-Line for Free
It might be fun to learn a little WWII history while staying at home and helping control the spread if Covid-19! John Purvis provides some great links to documentaries on the subject that are free to view.
John's Notes
I saw a tweet from @WWIIFoundation a short time ago that I thought was worth sharing. It said:
If you or your students, kids, adults are looking for things to do to stay occupied, please know ALL our World War II films are available to watch for free on your computer, tablet or smartphone.
If you visit their website (https://wwiifoundation.org/) you will find nearly 30 documentary videos covering WWII. This website offers something to fill some of the time while we are confined at home and to learn more about WWII.
If you are interested in the WWII era of history, you may find these three pages of interest.
The "World War II Sources" page is a constantly growing collection of more than 360 links to museums, memorials, websites, Facebook pages, Twitter feeds and other sources with information on the World War II-era in history.

Leora's Letters
The Story of Love and Loss For An Iowa Family During WW II
by Joy Neal Kidney … with Robin Grunder
The day the second atomic bomb was dropped, Clabe and Leora Wilson's postman brought a telegram to their acreage near Perry, Iowa. One son was already in the U.S. Navy before Pearl Harbor had been attacked. Four more sons worked with their father, tenant farmers near Minburn until, one by one, all five sons were serving their country in the military. The oldest son re-enlisted in the Navy. The younger three became U.S. Army Air Force pilots. As the family optimist, Leora wrote hundreds of letters, among all her regular chores, dispensing news and keeping up the morale of the whole family, which included the brothers' two sisters. Her fondest wishes were to have a home of her own and family nearby. Leora's Letters is the compelling true account of a woman whose most tender hopes were disrupted by great losses. Yet she lived out four more decades with hope and resilience.
"Joy lets us see her grandmother's personal family correspondence through letters. It is heart-tugging. Be ready to be moved by this true story." –Van Harden, WHO-Radio Personality
Joy Neal Kidney, the oldest granddaughter of the book's heroine, is the keeper of family stories, letters, photos, combat records, casualty reports, and telegrams. Active on her own website, she is also a writer and local historian. Married to a Vietnam Air Force veteran, Joy lives in central Iowa. Her nonfiction has been published in The Des Moines Register, other media, and broadcast over "Our American Stories." She's a graduate of the University of Northern Iowa, and her essays have been collected by the Iowa Women's Archives at the University of Iowa.
In Leora's Letters, Joy Neal Kidney provides her readers with a genuine and heartfelt glimpse into the life of an American family during one of our nation's most trying times. Five Wilson brothers leave their family farm in Iowa to serve their country during WW II, two in the Navy, and three in the Army Air Corps.
Through a well-crafted combination of letters, photographs, and narratives, Joy Neal Kidney draws you in and makes you feel like a member of the family. I found myself caught up in the daily experiences of all five young men and hoping each of them made it home safely. Unfortunately, war is never that kind.
Leora's Letters is more than a story about one family's sacrifice. It is a story about America and the kind of people who helped to forge this great nation. Our nation owes Clabe and Leora Wilson and their family a debt it can never repay. However, in reading this incredible story, perhaps we can regain a sense of what kind of people Americans were, and hopefully again, will be.
Do yourself a favor and read this book!

Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend
by Susan Orlean
A Little Rin Tin Tin History
On Sept. 15, 1918, an American soldier named Lee Duncan discovered a litter of German Shepherd puppies in the wreckage of a recently shelled German WW I encampment. He kept two of the young puppies, naming them Rin Tin Tin and Nanette, and managed to get them onboard when he shipped back to the United States from France at the end of the War.
I felt there was something about their lives that reminded me of my own life," Duncan later wrote of the puppies. "They had crept right into a lonesome place in my life and had become a part of me.
Lee Duncan
The lonesomeness in Lee Duncan developed because he'd spent part of his young life in an orphanage in Oakland when his father abandoned his mother and his young mother simply could not feed or support Lee and his sister.
Lee loved his dogs and seemed to have quite a knack for training them. The thought entered his mind that perhaps, his dogs could become canine movie stars. He always thought Nanette was the smarter of the two, but there was something about Rin Tin Tin.
After the war, Duncan pursued his dream, taking Rin Tin Tin to California, where the dog got a big Hollywood break when one of his spectacular 12 foot jumps was caught on film at a dog show. Rin Tin Tin's first part was a small one in a 1922 sled-dog picture. Then in 1923, "Where the North Begins," based on a story written by Lee Duncan, gained the dog national attention.
And as they say, the rest is history! I can still remember those Rin Tin Tin TV shows! Much better than Lassie …
Now, about the book …
I must admit, however, I was a little disappointed in Orlean's book, Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend. Her book actually has very little about the dog, Rin Tin TIn, or the training techniques that produced the original Rin Tin Tin's amazing skills and feats.
On a side note, as a German Shepherd owner myself, I was not that surprised to learn that the heroic German shepherd who could leap 12 feet, crashing through plate-glass windows was buried with his squeaky doll! That fits the German Shepherd perfectly!
But Rin Tin Tin is strangely absent from most of his story. Orlean tracks down loyal fans who now own descendants of the original Rin Tin Tin. She talks to many of Lee Duncan's family members like ex-wives and or his daughter. She writes about business associates and Rin Tin Tin's co-stars.
Susan Orlean's story seems to be more about how family members profited by selling off everything related to Lee Duncan's dream and his dog. She writes about people looking for some way to capture past glory, or perhaps the means to create new value from an old piece of intellectual property.
Susan Orlean also writes about the many tangled legal disputes such as the one between Daphne Hereford and Bert Leonard, the producer of "The Adventures of Rin-Tin-Tin," and the confusing story of Lee Aaker, a child actor who played the dog's TV sidekick, and who might or might not have become a special-needs ski instructor in the Eastern Sierras, but who was once definitely sued for impersonating himself.
You also learn that, since the death of the original Rin Tin Tin, this American canine hero has been played by no less than 20 other dogs.
What became clear to me from reading this book, is that the leap from heroic canine fame to mundane triviality is much shorter than 12 feet.
On the whole it is not a bad book, that is … if you want to read about everything surrounding Lee Duncan and his efforts to make a good living with the German Shepherd he trained to do really amazing feats, and how tough that actually was.
Maybe it was naive of me, but I wanted to read about the dog, Rin Tin Tin!
I wanted to read about his movies and his TV shows, and how he was trained, and to have the author paint a picture in my mind of this heroic German Shepherd leaping 12 feat and crashing through a plate-glass window to save the day.
On that, score, I was badly disappointed. And for that reason, I gave this book three stars …
I did love the cover …

The World War II Heroics of a Very Special Ship
Luck Lady: A very special ship
What makes the USS Santa Fe such a special ship? On March 19, 1945, a Japanese bomber dropped two 500-pound bombs through the deck of the USS Franklin, killing hundreds of officers and enlisted men, and thrusting the lives of nearly 3,000 other American seamen and aviators into mortal danger. As the Franklin listed dangerously near capsizing, the light cruiser USS Santa Fe, nicknamed the Lucky Lady, bellied up alongside her flaming hull and attempted the most daring rescue in U.S. naval history.
Lucky Lady tells the tale of the legendary World War II careers of the USS Franklin (the most decorated naval vessel of the war) and the Santa Fe (unparalleled record of wartime service while avoiding casualties) through the eyes of the men on board. This tale is told from the perspective of the highest levels of rank and flying altitude to deep within the ships engine room. Through the bloody years of the Pacific War (from Pearl Harbor to the surrender of Japan) the crew members of these ships experienced first-hand all the horrors of war.
A friend of mine, whose father served on the USS Santa Fe, loaned me this book. And I must say, I greatly enjoyed the read.
Sailors believed the Santa Fe to be an unlucky ship. Christened with a bottle of water rather than Champagne, such as is the usual case. The bottle of water came from the Santa Fe River … blessed by a Catholic priest. This, of course, caused a good deal of muttering among superstitious sailors. But as it turned out, the Santa Fe led a charmed life. This ship and crew's heroic efforts to rescue the sailors of the USS Franklin is the stuff of legends.
This is first and foremost a history, It goes into great character detail and development. You get to know the officers and the sailors assigned to this ship. From the Aleutians to Pearl Harbor and the war in the Pacific, this book tells their tale. It's pages are full of WW II Naval action. However, if you are strictly an action junkie, it might be a bit of a slow read. On the other hand, if you love history, well-developed characters, and detailed, historic accuracy … this is a book for you. I highly recommend this book and give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

Voices from the Second World War
Voices from the past for today's children
Voices from the past … from World War III … telling tales for today's children.
It looks like John Purvis over at John's Notes came up with another little gem on his blog! I certainly would have enjoyed something like this when I was in school. I like the fact that this work of non-fiction shares stories from soldiers and civilians from both sides … Allies and Axis.
John gave it a 3.8 out of 5! I think this was mostly because, according to his review, some of the stories began to get repetitive toward the end. I bet a great many of the stories are very moving. The cover is vintage WWII recruitment poster-type artwork. I have a feeling I will be checking this book out … maybe on Audible.

Salesforce.com Q1 Earnings Preview (NYSE: CRM) - 24/7 Wall St.
Salesforce.com Inc. (NYSE: CRM) will report its fiscal first-quarter financial results after the markets closed on Tuesday. Thomson Reuters consensus estimates call for $0.46 in earnings per share (EPS) on $2.94 billion in revenue. The same period of last year reportedly had EPS of $0.28 and $2.39 billion in revenue.
The company completed the biggest acquisition in its history earlier this month. Salesforce agreed to pay $6.5 billion in a cash and stock deal for business software company MuleSoft. MuleSoft went public in March 2017 and spent the year increasing sales while trying to manage its growing losses. In the company's fourth quarter, it brought in $88.7 million in sales, which was a 60% bump from the previous year during the same period.
CRM is a long-term market share winner, with inflecting margins, benefiting from the structural shift to Cloud.
