Part 2: As a marathon runner, Pierce McManus prides himself on his toughness — but then he begins coughing up blood.
Pierce McManus relocated to Washington, DC from New York in 1992 to pursue a career in international diplomacy. When his budding ambassadorial ambitions fell through, he opted for a different route -- running marathons, fronting a sleazy rock band, and diving headfirst into a career in digital communications. Pierce is a fixture of DC's venerated storytelling scene and the co-host of the popular Perfect Liars Club. You can learn more about him at the curiously titled piercemcmanus.com.
Episode Transcript
Part 1: Gail Thomas
So it's August 2009. It's a bright, sunny day in Brooklyn and I have a doctor's appointment. Normally, I would ride my bike but I can barely walk so I catch a cab.
It's a week after my hysterectomy. Hysterectomy. I never thought I'd say that. My sex organs are gone. We didn't really get to say goodbye. I didn't plan to have kids but I thought, well, maybe, I don't know if the ovaries balanced something else out. I don't know.
But I'm not worried. It's my post-op appointment and this is when my young, good-looking doctor is going to shake my hand and tell me, "Congratulations, we got all the cancer."
I get to his office, he brings me in. He's wearing sort of this khaki slacks and a button-down shirt. He looks more like a teacher's assistant than an oncology doctor. He motions for me to sit. He closes his office door, no handshake, and he goes and starts pacing back and forth behind his desk.
He's not as cute as I remember. I feel like I'm a graduate student that had just failed an exam or something. And then he starts speaking.
"Mrs. Thomas, it's serious. The cancer has spread from your uterus to your ovaries. I'm not sure if we got it all. I don't want to give you false hope."
False hope? I'll take false hope. I'll take any hope you've got. Just bring on the hope. That's good. I don't say that and he continues.
"Mrs. Thomas, it's Stage 3A metastasis. You have a fifty-fifty chance of being alive in five years if you don't do exactly what I say."
Mrs. Thomas? I'm not married. My mom's not there. And this guy just took my uterus, my Fallopian tubes, and my ovaries out of my vagina. I think we can be on a first-name basis.
And he keeps talking. He starts talking about treatment. He says six weeks of radiation daily followed by six months of chemotherapy. He says other things, more statistics, but all I hear is, "six weeks of radiation followed by six months of chemotherapy starting immediately". He calls it protocol. Standard treatment. It sounds like a threat.
I finally speak and I say, "Well, I'd like a second opinion."
He says, "Okay. As long as you start treatment first." I don't think that's how second opinions work. I think you're supposed to get the opinions and then decide.
Plus, research says that you should heal from surgery before you start treatment. Now, I don't have a medical degree but I do have a law degree, and I'm not good at confrontation but I'm really good at research.
And research also says that what's standard treatment one year can be over-treatment the next year. It also says that every patient is different.
I have other reasons to be concerned about this surgeon. I have a fever that is so high that I'm not sleeping at night, and when I tell him this, he won't give me antibiotics. He says, "Oh, it's just menopause."
I have so much drainage coming out of my body that I'm wearing adult-size diapers and I can't walk the dog half a block without dripping.
And I don't tell him this. I woke up during surgery, just long enough, to hear him say, "She's not that bloated. She shouldn't look like that." I fell back.
And he won't even talk about side effects. Doesn't he know that there's more to my life than just living? What about my bike? Can I ride my bike after chemo? And what about my other organs? How would the bladder feel about this? What about the heart? How does it affect the heart?
I walk out of there in a daze and I'm thinking about my friend D who had gone through aggressive cancer treatment, and I don't know if I would want to live like that. I walk through his waiting room and I notice that the chairs are dingy and the tables are kind of… it looks like a garage sale. Is this young surgeon my only hope? Did I just choose him because he's good looking? I've made that mistake before.
I don't have time to cry. I get home. I'm CEO of Gail's biggest decision ever and I've got to make the right one. I hit Google.
Doctor Google is equally scary. Side effects include nausea, fatigue, dizziness, more cancer, more nausea, uncontrollable flipping eye movements that's from the nausea medication. And sex? Apparently, and the doctor didn't tell me this, apparently radiation sort of tightens everything down there, and not in a good way. I may be older than my surgeon but I'm not ready to give it up. I still got to boogie. I'm single but I'm scared.
So I'm a frantic Googler by night and I'm a good patient by day. So I agree to go to meet the radiation oncologist. He's got droopy eyebrows and a little gray in his beard. He comes into the room and he's holding my chart. He looks at me and he looks at my chart, and he looks at me and he looks at my chart as if he's trying to decide between the two of us.
Then he sits across from me, I don't know, about four feet across from me but it feels like he's holding my hand. And he says, "You know, there's a chance that you don't need any treatment. There's a chance that you actually have. Your lymph nodes were completely clear. Twenty-six clear lymph nodes."
He said, "There's a chance that what you have is two early-stage primary cancers, one that was on the surface of the ovaries and one that's on the surface of the uterus, which means Stage 1 and no treatment necessary."
Huh. Two cancers is good news. I guess that's why you need a medical degree. But this is hope. This is real hope. I'm more confused but I am now really officially hopeful.
So I go home and now research is exhilarating. It's a life-or-death matter. I'm Super Google Gail. I'm on, I'm up late 3:00 a.m. every night and I get more opinions. I go to my yoga teacher. He says eat a raw onion every day. You won't have any friends but you won't get cancer.
My Dominican handyman stops by with an aloe vera plant. And my brother is like Rambo. He's like, "Do it all. Do it all. Just do it all." He's an MBA so he knows.
But I'm scared. What if the doctor is right?
So I agree to radiation but first I have to go to what they call simulation appointment. I get there and it's a large room once more with the same garage-sale furniture only there's boxes, so it's also a storage closet. They lay me down on this… they've got those silver, tin, steel tables. I lay on that thing and the nurses put this mold around me because they have to get the same size as my hips right so that the radiation goes into the same place thirty times.
Then they pull out this little tattoo device and they go zit, zit, zit. It's like triangular little tattoos around my pelvis to make sure that the radiation goes to the same place thirty times. It feels wrong, but I tell myself, well, this is the price of living.
The morning of my first radiation appointment it still feels wrong, so I call and I say I'm not going to come in today.
And I do more research. Now, I'm going to get more pathology reports. I get four total and the third out of the four ones from a very prestigious hospital agrees with the last doctor. It says, "Two early-stage cancers. No treatment necessary. The lymph nodes were clear. It didn't spread."
I'm so happy. This is the one. I'm thinking I'm going to go with this one.
So I call my surgeon, my young surgeon and I tell him the good news and he won't listen. He says, "Six months of chemotherapy followed by…" he switched the order now, "followed by six weeks of radiation starting immediately."
And then he goes on vacation and I meet more doctors. Then I break up with him. I send an email because I don't like confrontation, but I get out of there.
By now I have found Dr. C. Dr. C is tall, thin. He has almost shaved, just a light bit of gray hair and he has kind eyes. He makes eye contact and he calls me Gail. And he nods and he has this little twinkle in his eye when he speaks and he listens to me talk about my fears and my concerns.
He tells me, "It's your decision. You have time. It's up to you."
And he doesn't laugh when I say, "What's the least amount of treatment I can do without seeming suicidal?"
Then he talks to the radiation board at the hospital on my behalf. They talk about me. They talk about my individual case. Not a statistic. Not everyone. Just me. And then they decide that I don't need to do radiation.
And then he tells me that he's heard of a study in Italy where you only need three rounds of chemotherapy, three months, half of what the original bully surgeon wanted me to do.
We compromise. I didn't do any radiation. I did some chemotherapy. That was ten years ago. I'm cancer free. I didn't have any nausea, no side effects, and I don't even think about it much anymore, except when I'm getting dressed and I see those little tattoos because they're permanent, those little tattoos.
But when I do I don't think about that garage-sale treatment room or my condescending surgeon. I remember that I actually stood up for myself and then I found allies that I could trust in a partnership.
So I see Dr. C now every year just to say hi. That's it. One of my recent visits I actually told him that I was starting to share this story and, as he was leaving, he turned to me and he said, "I don't usually tell my patients this but I'm a cancer survivor too. And if I hadn't gotten a second opinion, I wouldn't be alive today."
I guess he learned to stand up for himself too. thank you.
Part 2: Pierce McManus
When I was a child, my parents bestowed upon me a rather unfortunate nickname. They called me Boo-Boo Boy. Say it one more time, Boo-Boo Boy. Because every nick, cut, scratch, cold, illness, malady, real or imagined, would send me into complete hysterics quickly followed with a desperate search for some sort of parental consolation.
My father was a grizzled New York city police officer. My mother was an old-school devout Catholic. Basically what I'm trying to say is parental consolation in any form was in very short supply in the McManus household.
"Here comes Boo-Boo Boy," my father would say whenever he saw me approach with tears in my eyes.
In retrospect, I know that nickname Boo-Boo Boy was a thinly veiled attempt on the part of my parents to toughen me up. Quite frankly, I don't blame them. I was a pudgy, bookish lad with more imaginary friends than real friends, a propensity to burst into tears at the drop of a hat, and all the athletic skill of a wet sponge.
I loathed being called Boo-Boo Boy and I made it my goal over the years to put as much time and space as I possibly could between him and me.
By the time I hit my forties, I was pretty sure I had completely shaken the stigma of Boo-Boo Boy. I was living in Washington DC. I had a successful career in advertising. I had this swinging Mad Men bachelor lifestyle that accompanied a career in advertising, and I had finally discovered a sport that I was actually good at. Distance running. Marathons.
I went from being a kid who would cry at the first sign of pain to pursuing a hobby that required a high pain threshold. Yeah, take that, mom and dad. And when I say I was into running, I mean I was really into running. I was really good at it too, like Boston-Marathon good. And in the fall of 2010 at the Philadelphia Marathon, I qualified for my sixth Boston Marathon.
Life was good. The world was my oyster. I had a great job. I loved my swinging bachelor ways, and I loved the counterbalance and the mental discipline that running offered. I would say I felt invincible.
If we've learned anything from the Old Testament, Shakespearean tragedies and mid-1990s Nicholas Cage films is that the minute you begin to feel invincible, is the exact moment you should begin to watch your back for the unfathomable comeuppance that is waiting for you right around the corner.
I ran smack dab into my comeuppance four months after that marathon when I woke up one morning, made my way to the bathroom, hopped in the shower and proceeded to cough up blood everywhere. I do mean everywhere. My bathroom looked like the murder scene from Psycho.
Naturally, anyone in their right mind would exit the shower, dry off and call a medical professional. I did not. I was ridiculously hung over. I had spent the previous night at the annual advertising bacchanalia known as the ADDY Awards and I had raised all sorts of Cain into the early morning hours.
Truthfully, as I surveyed the crime scene that was my bathroom, I could hear the voice of my mother. "See all that? God is punishing you for your poor choices." So I told no one.
Six months would pass before I found myself in a doctor's office. I'd gone downtown for my annual physical. "Everything looks good," my doctor told me, "but is there anything else you need to tell me?"
The truth was my life had begun a complete tailspin since that first coughing-up-blood episode. I was tired. I was lonely. But most of all, I was scared I couldn't keep it a secret anymore.
"I've been coughing up blood," I told her. Things really took off from there.
A week later, I made my way downtown for a CT scan to identify the source of all that blood. "We're going to inject you with some dye," the nurse told me. "That helps us read the scan better. But there's only one small side effect. It makes you feel like you're wetting your pants."
As I lay in this giant metal tube for what seemed like forever, I was just completely terrorized not at the notion of what the doctors might find but out of fear that I had actually wet my pants. When the scan was complete, I was very relieved to discover that that was not the case.
But what I did discover shortly thereafter was six missed phone calls from my doctor and one very urgent voicemail. "Pierce, you need to call me right away." It's never a good sign, guys.
The scan had revealed a large mass in my right lung.
"I've made you an appointment with a pulmonologist this afternoon," my doctor informed me.
Three hours later, I found myself in another examination room in downtown DC. The doors swung open, a doctor entered and, without introducing himself, he raised his finger to his chin, he looked me up and down and said, "Hmm, you don't strike me as the cancer type."
Two weeks later I am diagnosed with cancer. Leiomyoscarcoma. It's a soft muscle tissue cancer with a 50% life expectancy, depending on which medical journal you read. But here's the thing. It's typically found in the uterine lining of older women, not in the lungs of healthy marathon runners.
"You're one in a million," my doctor tells me. I smile at the notion of winning Cancer Powerball.
I make the long walk home to my house that morning and I'm in complete shock at the news. And as much as it pains me, as much as I don't want to return to my Boo-Boo Boy ways, I call my parents. It goes right to voicemail.
I make my way finally into the lobby of my condo building and, just out of sheer habit, I check my mail. I reach into the mailbox and I pull out a large postcard.
"Congratulations! You're accepted to the 2012 Boston Marathon."
The race is six months away. I wonder if I'm even going to be alive in six months' time. My grandfather went from cancer diagnosis to death bed in the span of three months.
Then, in that moment, I am overcome with something I am not accustomed to. Sheer, unmitigated anger. Fuck that! I am running this race. I am going to be in Boston for the 2012 Boston Marathon. I'm not going to let cancer and I'm not going to let anything stop me. I just needed to get my doctors on board with this plan.
Things did not get off to a good start when I met my surgeon. "You will lose part of your lung, that is for certain. There is a good chance you will lose all of your lung."
Things only went downhill from there when I met my oncologist. He described a series of radiation treatments that would happen after the surgery.
"But I've got the Boston Marathon," I told him.
"Oh, Pierce. There will be other marathons. You need to focus 2012 on getting cancer free." Clearly, this plan was not working. I needed a Plan B.
Plan B meant a second opinion, so I gathered all my materials and slides and I sent them off to Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. Due to the unique nature of my diagnosis, they completely expedited my case and in a week's time I was sitting right across from one of Sloan Kettering's top thoracic surgeons.
"I hear you run marathons," he said. "My daughter runs marathons too." I knew immediately that I was in great hands.
A year to the day of my Boston Marathon qualifying run in Philadelphia, I had surgery at Sloan Kettering. The doctor described it to me as having a lung transplant with my own lung. The challenge was being able to remove the tumor without having to remove any parts of my lung.
I woke hours later and was miraculously informed that both my lungs were still intact. That's where things got really weird. Because further analysis of the tumor would indicate that I had been completely misdiagnosed. I did not have leiomyosarcoma. I had the equally rare and kind of bizarre glomus tumor, which is a benign tumor typically found underneath fingernails.
"Don't worry, Pierce," my doctor told me, "you're still one in a million."
I was in the hospital for four days and I was released on Thanksgiving Day 2011. I wound up spending the next two months recuperating under the watchful eye of my mom and dad in my childhood home.
"We were worried about you, Boo-Boo Boy," my parents told me. "We're happy to have you home."
A few weeks later at a follow-up appointment with my surgeon, I said, "You know, doc, I've got the marathon coming up. When can I start running?"
He says, "Running? We didn't operate on your legs. You can start running whenever you want."
So I started running. In four months' time I made my way to the start of the Boston Marathon. I savored every minute of that race and I still savor every minute.

BREAKING NEWS: Engineering Student Predicted TB Joshua Church Building Collapse In 2012
Engineering Student Efe Adelugba accurately predicts the September 12th Synagogue Church Building crash by utilizing scientific, mathematical, practical and logical building construction principles.
It all came to light when copies of Efe's 2012 Civil Engineering thesis titled"Things Fall Apart: A Detailed Look At Why Buildings Collapse" was leaked to the press yesterday night. Although the SCOAN building was not named explicitly in the thesis, experts are still claiming that it is an accurate prediction of the September 12th event as several key factors align…
In the thesis, it is
prophesized said that a foundation when loaded beyond its ultimate strength will ultimately crack under pressure causing the building to collapse. And this was exactly the case with the SCOAN building. As it collapsed when construction work was going on to raise the building to a five storey building … even though the foundation was designed for only 2-storeys!
Efe further
prophesized stated that situations were such building collapse occurs could lead to deaths of dozens of people and injuries to hundreds. Again this was in line with the actual building crash collapse data where the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) stated that the death toll from the collapse is now at 40 with over 120 people injured. As more and more experts are reading Efe's thesis they are coming to realize that it could be (when edited slightly) used to predict several other building collapses in Lagos between 2012 and 2014 and those that have not even happened!
When our ofilispeaks.com correspondents reached Efe Adelugba… he was at his parents home where he has been for the past 2 years looking for a job. But with the viral popularity of his thesis, he is now considering dropping the search for an Engineering job and becoming a Church Entrepreneur where he will be paid millions of
Naira dollars to prophesize disasters across Nigeria. When asked why he wanted to switch, Efe replied
"If T.B.Joshua can predict the obvious and get paid, why can't I!"
Sounds logical. We even asked Efe to share other predictions with us and and he told us this …
"In December there will be many accidents on the roads of Nigeria, more than other months in the year. This is obviously because more people on holidays will be travelling on the roads and because most of our roads are bad, but as a prophet I will just blame that on the Devil."
With the money prophets are making in Nigeria, Efe's decision to switch is financially promising and he is being encouraged by his Parents who believe that if Efe can work on his healing skills he could be on to something. Before we left, Efe gave us another
prophetic piece of advise:
"If the T.B Joshua read my thesis, he would have known that his church needed to seek approval from the Lagos state government to get sound feedback. Such action would have likely averted this disaster."
When we asked the T.B.Joshua camp about Efe's final statement on approval, we were told that T.B.Joshua did not need the state governments approval, because he already had the anointed approval of God. This makes sense, after all if Jesus says yes, nobody can say no. Absolutely NOBODY and this includes the Lagos state government, engineering students and Sir Isaac Newton … I mean who are they to challenge God with engineering principles.
After numerous phone calls, we were finally able to catch up with T.B. Joshua himself. And he told us that God had actually revealed to him in a dream that the building would collapse after a black aeroplane flies over it 4 times. However, he did not want to publicize the prophecy because the black aeroplane did not crash. Per T.B. Joshua "God has ordained me to predict plane crashes and not building collapses."
All attempts to reach "God" to verify T.B Joshua's claim proved futile … because sadly none of the ofilispeaks.com staff are anointed enough to communicate with God. So we are just left with T.B. Joshua claims and the thesis of a civil engineering student.

Catalan President Carles Puigdemont is moving forward with a referendum vote on independence on Oct. 1. It's a controversial move, considering he's trying to rush it through parliament with a simple-majority vote and the law mandates that if those in favor win, Catalan will be independent within 48 hours of the vote, per The Economist.
Not so fast: Spain's prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, has vowed to veto the vote and even says it's illegal.
Why: Spain's constitution of 1978 (which is supported by more than 90% of Catalans) bans secession; the official language refers to "the indissoluble unity of the Spanish nation." Any referendum has to completely comply with the constitution, and Puigdemont's does not.

Primary descriptor: Stoic/Berserk
Pyutz ("mutt" in Russian and Polish) is a magical construct -- a thinking, breathing creature animated by sorcery from dead flesh.
He is 6'6'' and close to 300 lbs. He is heavily scarred over his entire body, particularly at the joints, and favors clothing which conceals this fact. His skin is swarthy and his hair black and straight; his bangs conceal a particularly gnarled set of scars on his forehead. He moves awkwardly, sometimes to the point of being ponderous, but there is no mistaking the power behind those movements.
SCALE: (Below average/average/good/extraordinary)
River Boatsman (Extraordinary - effortless); Forestry (average); Farming (avg); Beekeeping (avg); Stoneworking (avg); Carpentry (blw avg); Shipwright (blw avg); Brewing (avg); Deep sea sailor (avg); Hunting (blw avg); Soldier (avg); Fisherman, deep sea (avg); Trader (avg).
Woodlands Survival (Avg - subsistence); Horseman (blw avg - no empathy).
Area knowledges: Russian and Ukrainian River systems (Extraordinary); Byzantium and Persia (average); Scandinavia (below avg).
Languages: Fluent: Slavic Languages of Ukraine and Russia, Old Norse, Bulgarian and Khazar (both Romani dialects, I think), Persian (Farsi?), Arabic. Minimal: Polish, Latin (or whatever's spoken in Byzantium at that time), Old German.
Combat skills: Axe (Good - powerful swing); Spear (Avg); Staff (blw avg); Bow (blw avg)
Pyutz's high strength and endurance are part of his design; he was intended to perform heavy labor for days at a time. He can go for extended periods without sleep, food or water, and subsist on foods which normal humans find impalatable. His senses are somewhat dimmer than average, but this acts to make him less sensitive to pain and a blow must be truly crippling to slow him down. He is vulnerable to fire, however, burning somewhat more easily than normal flesh and feeling the pain more keenly. When injured, he heals at only the same rate as a normal human, though more completely.
He is unsure what a truly mortal blow to him would be. He once took a swordblow directly to the head which cracked his skull, though he does not know how severely damaged his brain was and whether he could have recovered from serious brain damage.
His footspeed is roughly that of an average human, though his awkward stride makes him slow to get up to speed. He is a slow swimmer, both due to mass and awkwardness.%-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- \subsection{HISTORY}
Pyutz ("mutt" in Russian and Polish) was constructed in approximately 700 AD in a remote village in the Carpathians. His creator was a powerful sorceror who had earlier made a contract with the people of the village to protect them from the Avar invasions in return for pledges of tribute and service. Pyutz was created to perform tasks the sorceror had previously ordered the men of the village to perform; as such, he was created strong enough to drag logs from the forest to the fireplace, pull carts of supplies along mountain roads, and to work all day without fatigue or pain. The sorceror, believing himself to be immortal, gave Pyutz the toughness to endure forever so that he would never have to distract himself with the creation of another servant.
The earliest years of Pyutz's life were spent only half-aware; he was trained like an animal, shown a task and then made to repeat it without understanding its import. Gradually he began to achieve true awareness, however, and when his master was proven mortal Pyutz left the village. He has always seemed reluctant to speak of this stage of his life.
After leaving the Carpathians, Pyutz travelled northeast until he reached the Dnieper river. There a trader took him on as an oarsman on his boat, and Pyutz began a career as a boatman which lasted for several centuries. His great strength and endurance served him well in his new occupation, and over time he came to know the rivers of Russia and Eastern Europe with almost preternatural skill. He could not remain on one route for too long a time, or people began to wonder about his age, but he found that by switching his route every few decades he could avoid serious inquiry. He further avoided inquiry by hiring himself out most often to foreigners, which gave him less contact with the locals and fewer permanent ties. Occasionally he would disappear inland for several decades at a time, usually working as a farmhand or a woodcutter. Later, he became employed in more diverse (though still menial) occupations, such as carpenter's assistant, stoneworker, and shipwright.
As the years went on, Pyutz began to take an interest in the world beyond the Russian frontier. The trade routes ran as far as Constantinople, and the boatman spent considerable time in the Byzantine Empire and the Middle East; his longest such sojourn was a 25-year stretch as a stoneworker in Persia. He has also travelled the silk road as a caravan guard, but found China unfathomable and unfriendly to foreigners, so never chose to stay there in his early life. He has also spent some time in Germany, Poland, and Scandanavia, and found them much like his homeland.
His first experience in the military was his service in the army of Prince Oleg in 972 to sieze Kiev and to drive off the Pechenegs, and the subsequent assault on Constantinople. Here he learned the use of the ``Danish Axe'' from one of Oleg's Danes, and would favor the weapon in later conflicts. His service was not particularly unpleasant, as he was used to perpetual travel, but he had never liked the rages that overcame him in combat and he abandoned the profession as soon as it was allowed. In the chaotic centuries which followed, Pyutz served in the levees of a dozen princes, fighting in their petty wars and fending off barbarian raids on the steppes.
By the beginning of the thirteenth century, Pyutz was becoming increasingly unsatisfied with his life. He had spent countless lifetimes in menial work and travel, and no longer found any pleasure in them. A Norwegian trader told him of the joy to be had in wars of conquest, and that his own king seemed to be planning such an expedition. The man, too old to fight himself, offered to vouch for Pyutz to lethim enter the service of the king. Against his better judgment, Pyutz accepted the offer and departed from Norway on a longship bound for the Orkney Islands in 1263.
The raid was an unmitigated disaster. The British forces were waiting for them at Brunanburh, and crushed the invaders with almost contemptible ease. Pyutz found himself aboard a half-burned boat carrying a handful of survivors, none of whom knew the art of deep-water navigation. After three days of almost random drifting, the boat went down in a squall and his crewmates drowned. Pyutz struck out, swimming a day and a night before finally making landfall on an English beach.
There he lay exhausted, half-drowned, half-starved, and delirious with thirst. He has told his friends this story often, of how he was found and taken in by a group of monks. And how, after regaining his strength he chose to stay with them, working for his keep while learning the language. One of the men, a Brother Christopher, took an interest in the stranger and began teaching him the Roman Catholic faith. Pyutz, who had had little interest in Christianity since his baptism under Vladmir, was at first lukewarm to the idea, but accepted Christopher's lessons in Latin as useful to a traveller in these regions. Then Christopher taught Pyutz to read and gave him access to the monastery's library; Pyutz, long since bored with menial work, suddenly found an entire world opened up to him. He remained at the monastery for forty years, studying all the texts that were available to him and exchanging letters with scholars abroad.
The golem explained his nature to Brother Christopher, and at the brother's urging confessed it to Father William (the village priest) as well. The two of them agreed that he should keep his nature secret to avoid frightening the people of the village, and on his deathbed the father urged Pyutz to go abroad, but to continue to seek knowledge and remain a good Christian. Since then Pyutz has remained a Christian, though his sect and the extent of his devotion have varied with the times.
Part of Pyutz's philosophical nature is his relatively dim senses, particularly touch and taste. They are simply not as keen as a normal man's, and he tries to enjoy a richer ``life of the mind'' to compensate.
Despite having lived in such turbulent times, Pyutz is as gentle and kind a creature as only a 300-pound nigh-invulnerable giant can be. He is altruistic enough to intervene where he believes he can help the oppressed, but a long life have taught him the futility of trying to ``fight the good fight'' against a bigotted majority.
Pyutz is disliked by most animals, and has never become much of a horseman because his mounts are always skittish. Aside from basic farming skills and a knowledge of beekeeping, Pyutz has avoided working with animals on a regular basis.
Pyutz prefers colder climates to warm, though has been known to visit the tropics when necessary.

Ten.Three Hundred & Thirty-Three
1. A haloed moon.
2. I sub in cake flour for the muffins and the batter looks even lighter than usual.
3. Still alone here in the kitchen. I can't stop looking at the peonies. I'll keep up the 9pm bed time if it means I get to do all of this so quietly, alone.
4. Coffee and pages in the alcove.
5. I think of the way the house sends at the top of the cup-de-sac and how the long stretch of street in front of it reaches out to the farmer on the other side of the road. I often fantasize about taking self-portraits under the big tree by his pond.
6. I sometimes get this nervous energy and I talk really fast and fumble over my words. It's like the opposite of what happens when I do a podcast.
7. Thirty-three days until 33. On the 333rd post
8. I don't know what to do with this hair yet.
9. I know that I need to make risotto and so I start soon enough to give myself plenty of time to stir slowly.
10. Rethinking family culture.

Development of Molecular Biomarkers to Measure Environmentally Induced Immune ResponsesEPA Grant Number: R832947
Title: Development of Molecular Biomarkers to Measure Environmentally Induced Immune Responses
Investigators: Miller, Lisa A. , Abel, Kristina , Gern, James , Gilliland, Frank D. , Joad, Jesse , Margolis, Helene
Institution: California National Primate Research Center at UC Davis
EPA Project Officer: Callan, Richard
Project Period: June 15, 2006 through June 14, 2009 (Extended to December 14, 2011)
Project Amount: $712,423
RFA: Early Indicators of Environmentally Induced Disease (2004) RFA Text | Recipients Lists
Research Category: Health Effects , Health
There is a strong correlation between air pollutant exposure, persistent respiratory symptoms, and asthma in children. The mechanisms for this phenomenon are unknown because of a limited ability to evaluate immune responses in very young children. The primary objective of this project is to establish a panel of immune biomarkers that will be used to detect environmentally induced disease in humans, focusing on parameters of allergy and asthma. The overall hypothesis of this project is that molecular biology techniques can accurately provide quantitative measurements of immune cell phenotype and function in small biological samples.
In this proposal, we will develop a panel of oligonucleotide primers and probes for real-time quantitative PCR analysis of immune cell phenotype and function. The significance of each immune biomarker in the context of environmentally induced allergic airways disease will subsequently be determined by evaluating peripheral blood and airway cells obtained from an infant rhesus monkey model of environmentally induced asthma.
Expected Results:
This study will generate a panel of sensitive molecular biomarkers to measure environmentally induced changes in systemic and local immune responses within small biological samples. Once tested and characterized, these reagents can be immediately incorporated as a part of the National Children's Study to investigate how environmental exposure to air pollutants can modulate the immune system during early childhood development.

Great Ocean Road
If you only do one road trip in your life, this should be it. Running 243 km along Australia's stunning south-eastern coast, the Great Ocean Road is one of the world's most scenic coastal drives. Here, road trippers are rewarded with mile after mile of epic surf breaks, jungle-fringed beaches and quaint seaside towns. Spend your days spotting sleepy koalas up high in the lush emerald canopy, sampling the fantastic fresh produce from local farms and wineries, peering down sheer limestone cliffs, and hunting down the 12 Apostles — 12, 150ft pillars rising ethereally out of the shimmering turquoise water. When you're done exploring by land, take to the crystal-clear waters for world-class surfing, diving, and swimming.
Getting There
The closest airport to the start of the Great Ocean Road is Avalon Airport, one of the busiest airports in the Melbourne region. This airport receives flights from Sydney, Hobart, Adelaide, Brisban, Newcastle, Dubbo, and the Gold Coast so a connecting international flight into a separate airport is a necessity before making it to Avalon. Once there, the arrivals lounge offers a huge variety of car hire options, private shuttles and public transportation to Geelong and Torquay.

The Rise of the Superbug
By M.J. Louis, RN
(Chapter 11 of "Go In Peace--When Letting Go Is The Greatest Act Of Love")
By M.J. Louis, RN
(Chapter 11 of "Go In Peace--When Letting Go Is The Greatest Act Of Love")
What is a Superbug?
The term "Superbug" is currently being used to describe microbe[1] pathogens[2] that modern medicine struggles to combat. Superbugs earned their dubious name due to their resistance to most antibiotics[3], antivirals[4], and antifungals[5]. These medications are commonly referred to as Antimicrobials. Superbugs are simply created by the inappropriate and overuse of antimicrobials on an infected human or animal host.
Most people don't consider microbe pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi as having intelligence. I would beg to differ. A definition for intelligence is; to have the ability to gather, process, and use information to ones advantage. As a critical care nurse, it is common place for me to administer up to five different powerful antimicrobials at one time to an infected patient only to witness their white blood cell[6] count (WBCs) rise exponentially. An increase in the WBCs signifies an increase in the pathogen(s).
They say the superhero gives rise to the supervillain. Never has this analogy held so true as it does in describing the relationship between antimicrobials and Superbugs. To understand why these microbes are considered to be the supervillains' in modern medicine, you must first understand what their superpower is and how they became endowed with such a power. The foremost superpower of the Superbug is DRUG RESISTANCE[7]. A drug resistant pathogen can simply laugh in the face of an antimicrobial that is meant to kill it.
Antibiotics and similar drugs used to fight infection have been in widespread use since the 1940's. Microbes have been around for over three billion years. That's quite a head start. Unlike human beings, they are very simple organisms; therefore possess the ability to adapt very easily and quickly through evolution.
Let's follow the age old battle between the old school antibacterial hero, Penicillin verses the dreaded pathogen villain MRSA; aka Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, aka Staph Infection. In the 1940's Penicillin came on the scene and save the lives of millions suffering from bacterial infections. It seemed like no bacteria stood a chance against the mighty Penicillin. People believed in the superpowers of Penicillin so much they called upon it even when they didn't need it. The overuse of Penicillin was causing the immune systems of its consumers to become lazy. Unbeknownst to the medical community, Bacteria's instinct to survive kicked in causing it to mutate into the Superbug MRSA.
The new superbug MRSA passed on its new Penicillin resistant gene into other bacteria in similar fashion to the cloning abilities of MR. Smith of Matrix fame (see image below). By the 1950's MRSA was raking havoc in hospitals and the first generation of Penicillin was rendered helpless against this new super villain that it helped create.
University of California Museum of Paleontology's Understanding Evolution (http://evolution.berkeley.edu)
Center for Disease Control Antibiotic/Antimicrobial Resistance
Drug-resistant Superbugs are a global threat. According to the 2014 World Health Organization (WHO) report, Antimicrobial resistance: global report on surveillance; only 34 out of the 133 countries surveyed on their preparedness to handle an outbreak had a prepared comprehensive plan. The report identifies countries not having the proper infrastructure to properly survey drug resistance diseases and the widespread sale of antibiotics without prescriptions to be major contributing factors. The WHO states, without a worldwide coordinated effort we are headed to a post-antibiotic error.
The WHO 2014 report focuses on the seven bacteria which are responsible for common, serious diseases such as bloodstream infections (sepsis), diarrhea, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and gonorrhea. Each of the seven has developed Superbug strains that are resistant even to "last resort" antibiotics.
[1] Microbes are tiny single cell organisms that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
[2] Pathogens are infection or illness causing microbes.
[3] An Antibiotic is a medication used to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria.
[4] An Antiviral is a medication used to kill or inhibit the growth of a virus.
[5] An Antifungal is a medication used to kill or inhibit the growth of fungus.
[6] White blood cells are cells in the body that help fight infection and are part of the immune system.
[7] Drug Resistance occurs when a drug used to kill a particular pathogen is ineffective in doing so due to the pathogen's tolerance to that drug.

2 poems
by Milly timm
Marshall School
paper hawk
My aunt dances across this kitchen,
then forest. She holds clippings
of faces and flowers,
magazines and tree branches.
When she hums with the radio,
garbled MPR turns to birdsong.
It's warm here. Wrapped in the scent
of bread and pine sap, I sleep
on scattered leaves and tiles,
My aunt sees me, and laughs.
It's like bells…
the copper sound of their ringing.
Her eyes roll gently over me, and
a breeze kisses my cheek.
I look up, half dreaming.
A paper hawk,
sometimes feathered, sometimes not,
looks back. She hangs quietly
behind my aunt, and the two watch closely
as I sleep.
Restless, we drove
into the plains of South Dakota.
Motion held in the tips of our fingers
with deep electricity.
With that hum running through us,
we followed the barren
red line where sky touches earth
for the road to reveal itself.
as darkness soaked full into the sky,
night swallowed us.
thick undertow,
blue unto black,
silent, and
From my seat
I felt myself break away,
leaving my body behind.
I watched as thousands of buffalo
ran wild toward the road,
crushing my body with it.
Growing hooves and a hide,
I ran with them,
painting my own blood
into the iron earth.
I am running with them still,
toward the fire of the horizon,
where I will meet myself again
in the plains of South Dakota.
"Paper Hawk" was noted as a finalist for our 2017 Stephen Bonga Award for High School Students.

Home Chef vs Hello Fresh
In my meal delivery adventures, I decided to give Home Chef a shot as my second one. Again, I got it at a discounted rate, but then, don't all of them seem to offer half off for the first week? I got Home Chef deliveries for two weeks this time instead of three. In some ways, it was better than Hello Fresh, but in other ways, it was worse.
First, for the better
My ingredients didn't seem to rot in the fridge while they waited for me to cook them. That was really one of the best parts. It all came in resealable plastic bags instead of brown paper bags. I could see through them and see that my ingredients were fresh. They're also recyclable like plastic grocery bags. The plastic didn't seem to encourage ripening of the produce like the brown paper bags had done from Hello Fresh.
Home Chef sent—in my very first box—an awesome three-ring binder to organize my recipes. All of the cards came three-hole-punched and they're printed so that when you flip the page in the binder, the recipe is facing the correct way. I absolutely loved this. In comparison, Hello Fresh wanted people to purchase a binder, their cards did not come three-hole-punched, and there's no way to hole-punch their cards without ruining some of the writing. Hello Fresh's cards are also all printed in the same direction so that when you flip the page, you now have to turn the whole binder upside down in order to read it. What. A. Pain. In. My. Ass. So, as far as the actual recipe cards themselves, Home Chef is the clear winner here.
Home Chef had a much wider variety of meals to choose from each week than Hello Fresh. I had no trouble picking meals that didn't contain pork or that weren't spicy without being forced to upgrade to more expensive meals. In fact, it didn't look like they even had upgraded meals every week. They did have smoothies and fruit that were available as an add-on each week. The fruit was pretty pricey—$10 for five pieces of organic fruit. The smoothies were also $10 for two servings.
Home Chef also gave me the option to choose multiple dietary preferences. I could exclude certain allergens or even annoyances like bone-in meat or chicken that still had the skin on it. Again, very much unlike Hello Fresh, which only let me choose one of three dietary preferences—no pork, no spicy, or no gluten.
Now, for the worse
I was massively disappointed in my first Home Chef delivery when I eventually figured out it had arrived with the single, tiny ice pack halfway melted, sliced open, and smeared all over the contents. Hello Fresh had always arrived with two huge ice packs—one on top of and one underneath the meats. Home Chef only puts in one small ice pack, adjacent to the meats, so they didn't arrive as fresh as they could have been. I also couldn't save the padding/insulation from the box because it was covered in the ice pack goo. That was disappointing since I'd always saved those from my Hello Fresh boxes to use as furniture padding for when we'll move in August.
The food itself
You know how when you peel garlic, there's that thin membrane between the stiff peel you remove and the clove? Yeah…the membrane was still there and had to be removed so that I could properly chop the garlic. Tiny in comparison to needing to replace ingredients, but worth mentioning since it happened with every meal that had garlic.
In my first box, I also had tomato issues. But seriously, when do I not have tomato issues? People suck at growing and selling tomatoes. Only tomatoes that have been JUST PICKED are worth a flying fuck. But, I do expect my red tomatoes to actually be red. My Roma tomato that came with my Home Chef meal was pink, yellow, and green. It was so fucking ugly. Just for the hell of it, I cut it open and touched the interior. Grainy, gritty, nastiness. Gross. So fucking gross. I noped right the fuck out and threw it in the trash where it belonged. I used my own tomatoes for that salad because I don't eat that hothouse garbage that's been "forced" red.
My second tomato issue with the first box was the moldy grape tomatoes. Again, I just used my own. It's kind of whatever. I don't expect to get decent tomatoes in the mail, anyway.
Let's find some balance
The variety of the meals from Home Chef was really great. I didn't feel like I was getting different versions of the same things meal after meal. Like how one week, Hello Fresh sent me mashed potatoes for every meal. Another week, they tried to send me rice for every meal. Like, shit! Give me some fucking change! The only thing I got twice from Home Chef was sirloin steaks, and that was entirely by choice.
My meals from Home Chef were: Sirloin steaks with a Sherry wine demi-glace, mashed potatoes, and balsamic Brussels sprouts; New England style fishcakes with romaine and tomato salad; chicken in oregano-tomato cream sauce with blistered tomatoes and green beans; Sicilian shrimp risotto with tomatoes; sirloin steak with loaded potato wedges and smoky mushrooms; and a strawberry cheesecake smoothie. I really enjoyed each meal. I'll definitely be utilizing aspects of these recipes into the food I make in the future.
As far as value, variety, and quality, I can't really decide on a clear winner between these two recipe delivery services. If I had to choose, though, I'd lean more toward Home Chef. They both seemed to have their advantages and their drawbacks. I guess I'll just have to keep trying other companies, too!
Have you ever tried one of these companies? Which one? Did you like it? Comment below!

Overcoming the weight management struggle is a challenge for men and women of all ages. Our experienced team of healthcare providers at New Directions Health and Wellness work close with our patients to help ensure proper diet and physical activity for optimal results. We offer a variety of options for weight loss including medically supervised VLCD, LCD, personalized diet recommendations as well as medically prescribed appetite suppressants.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT, Low T)
Is just not for women. There is a common misconception many men have about hormone replacement therapy: that it is strictly for women. In fact, men benefit from testosterone replacement therapy to combat common health issues men experience every day. Unfortunately, many men dismiss these issues as inevitable signs of aging. Hormone replacement therapy can help men live more youthful, energetic lives and slow down those inevitable signs of aging. In recent men's health research, men reported several common physical and emotional symptoms often attributed to aging and low testosterone (low T). Some common symptoms of male menopause are as follows:
Beware: Some Low Testosterone Medications Offer Limited Relief
As more men are learning about the benefits of hormone replacement therapy, more and more hormonal supplements are turning up in the marketplace. Too often however, these supplements are the mass-produced, one size-fits-all variety that do not take into consideration the man's individual, unique biological needs. This is why more men are turning to A New You Medical Wellness Solutions for their customized approach of addressing male hormonal deficiencies.
BHRT – Personalized Care for Men
We specialize in a variety of custom BHRT supplements & wellness solutions for our male patients. Working directly with accredited compounding pharmacist, we will help to determine the exact formulation to best fit your needs. BHRT formulations offered by New Directions Health and Wellness:

- Hormone Pellet Therapy
Custom BHRT
We work with accredited compounding pharmacists to formulate the best treatment for your individual needs. We work with you, monitor your treatment and the help you reach your goals.
Bio-Identical Hormone Pellet Therapy for Men
Men begin losing testosterone at the rate of 1-3% per year beginning at age 30. Current medical research now defines a male equivalent to menopause as Andropause. Because the testosterone used is totally natural, it is ideal for men wanting the benefits of a bio-identical hormone, without the drawbacks of a synthetic. Symptoms of testosterone deficiency in men include fatigue, lack of mental acuity, loss of libido, and difficulty achieving, or sustaining erection. Men find themselves lacking in sexual desire, gaining weight, losing muscle mass and feeling sluggish, depressed and irritable. Yet, they believe they must endure these body and hormonal changes as part of aging. Why Bio-identical Hormone pellet therapy for men? Hormonal needs for men have received national attention, but with marginal treatment options available. Hormonal treatments for men can be expensive, require daily consumption, and in many cases, need to be carefully timed with their partner's needs for normal sexual activities and pleasure. Bio-identical hormone pellet therapy is the only method of testosterone therapy that gives sustained and consistent testosterone levels throughout the day, for 4 to 6 months, without any "roller coaster" blood levels of testosterone, which can result in mood and energy fluctuations for the patient.
At New Directions Health and Wellness, we have partnered with BioTE Medical which has had excellent results treating men with Bio-identical Hormone pellet therapy. There have been only a few reported side effects.
