The Legend of the Killilng of Alexander Lacey
Some family myths grew up around the killing of Alexander Lacey. One was that his uncle, Asa Phelps Lacey, did the killing, because of remarks made by Alexander about Asa's wife, Roseanna. In fact, Dorothy Lacey Landoll reported this as a possibility in her book. Other family members also told Elton Lacey that it was Asa Phelps, or "Ace". This does not seem likely since Asa was 26 years older and Rosanna was 27 years older than Alexander, while Asa's younger brother, Thomas Monroe Lacey, who actually did the killing, was only 8 years older and his wife, Mary Jane, was only 4 years older. Hubert Wesley Lacey did not find the San Antonio Express article describing the killing, the only source of the actual facts, and did not know what had happened, except that as he stated in his manuscript, "Mrs. Cora Chesser of Brady, Texas has informed the writer that he was murdered". So, except for the facts of the killing, and the information in the article that it was over remarks made about Mary Ann by Alexander, the mystery remains. Elton found this article while researching in the Barker Library at the University of Texas at Austin. It appears below.
Alexander Lacey was shown on the 1870 census of Gillespie County, Texas,
at the age of 14, living away from his parents, in the household of Adam
Keller and his wife Catherine, both born in Nassau. There were several
other individuals in this household, including their children, Otto,
Maria, Carl, Joseph, and Gregon, Elizabeth Lang, age 66, who may have been
Catherine's mother, and Henri Bustner, age 25, a teacher. Exactly why he
was in this household and not the one of his parents, Is unknown. Perhaps
he was apprenticed to Mr. Keller, a common practice of the time. It may
also be that he was some how estranged, a "wild boy". The reason
for this speculation is given in the article below.
San Antonio Express, Saturday, September 14, 1874.
"A Murder occurred 10 mile north of San Antonio, in the Lacey
neighborhood, on Tuesday morning last. The murdered man's name was
Alexander Lacey, aged 18 years, and was killed by T. M. Lacey, his uncle.
An old grudge, jealousy, existed of twelve months standing on the part of
T. M. Lacey against young Alexander Lacey, and a year ago T. M. Lacey had
young Lacey thrashed for remarks about his wife. Young Lacey threatened to
kill T. M. Lacey, and remarked two minutes before the killing that T. M.
Lacey would not leave the country alive. As soon as he said it, T. M.
Lacey standing 20 feet off picked up a Minnie rifle and shot him through
the body without another word on the part of either party, the ball
ranging from one side to the other near the region of the heart, he dying
immediately without saying a word. T. M. Lacey had just ten minutes before
borrowed young Lacey's spurs and seemed on friendly terms with him. T. M.
Lacey, immediately after the killing, put the gun down, got on his horse
and rode away and is now at large. T. M. Lacey, who did the killing, has a
wife and two children. The killing was witnessed by two youths, age 14 and
16, Frank Scott and Levi McDonald, McDonald being a nephew of the parties.
Coroner Cugger held an inquest, and the jury rendered a verdict in harmony
with the facts."
T. M. Lacey is Thomas Monroe Lacey, youngest brother of Mahala Lacey. His
wife was Mary Jane Chesser. Despite repeated efforts, we have not been
able to learn anything of the fate of either Thomas Monroe or Mary Jane,
or anything about the children. In the process of searching we learned a
great deal about the Chesser family, a large family which also resided in
Gillespie County at the time.
Finally, it should be noted that Alexander's father, John Hardin Lacey,
had passed away a year earlier. The Lacey neighborhood mentioned in the
article is undoubtedly in the Locke Hill Community area. The family was
still residing in the area. It is possible that Alexander is also buried
in the Locke Hill Cemetery, but there is no record that points to it.
Despite lots of McDonald information, we have also not been able to
pin-point exactly what family Levi McDonald was in. Since it was mentioned
in the article that he was a nephew, he was either in the Asa Phelps Lacey
line or the Emily E. Lacey line.
Elton asked David to draw a cartooon story of this event. It can be viewed by clicking on the links below.

With London's 2012 Olympic Summer Games officially beginning today, what better Lyric of the Week than a line from the official Olympic song? The song, called "Survival" by Muse, is an epic rock-opera-style anthem about the strength of character it takes to be a winner. It serves as a great pump-up song for the athletes who are about to compete in the Games — we know we'd feel pretty revved up if we heard these lyrics right before a match (or meet, or race, etc.):
"I'll light the fuse / And I'll never lose / And I choose to survive / Whatever it takes"

Tips for optimizing Apache, Postfix, Oracle, MySQL, and Samba
Your homepage was just linked by Slashdot, a new email campaign goes out tonight, and you need the database to deliver survey results. We'll show you how to help your servers survive the strain.
Server optimization is a question of survival: a server's efficiency drops when the load increases. And if incoming requests push the load too high, the system could crash. To avoid bringing down critical services, you need to be proactive. Faster hardware might not be an option, but a better configuration and some simple optimization steps might help. In this article, five experts provide an inside look at how to maximize throughput on your web, mail, database, and file servers.

Three times in the last couple months people leaving a restaurant, seeing me alone with the kids, have given me a coupon for that restaurant that they couldn't use for one reason or another.

Democratic lawmakers introduced a bill Thursday that would prohibit credit discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) said their bill was necessary because currently there is no federal law that consistently protects LGBT individuals from credit discrimination.
"Obtaining credit is a critical step for many looking to buy a home, go to college, or start a small business," Murray said. "And since equal protection under the law is a fundamental right in our country, no one should suffer discrimination when trying to secure a roof over their head or a high quality education."
The Senate passed a resolution Thursday calling for "fair and free" elections in Iran.
The Senate agreed to the resolution through a unanimous consent agreement, the day before Iran is scheduled to hold its elections.
The senators want Obama to establish a no-fly zone and "take out" Assad's air capabilities by "cratering" runways with missiles.
Connecticut Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D) and Chris Murphy (D) marked the six months since the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Both senators called for Congress to take action and pass gun control legislation.
"Our challenge, right here on this floor, is to make sure that we learn from it and act on it," Blumenthal said Thursday. "Out of that grief and pain, we can make American stronger. We can make America better. That is the potential legacy of these lost lives … and if we achieve it, they will not have died in vain."
Senate Democrats objected on Thursday to considering President Obama's proposal to address the rising student loan interest rates.
Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) proposed that the Senate consider a plan from Obama that would set student loan interest rates based on U.S. Treasury notes, something similar to what Republicans have introduced. But Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) objected.
Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) announced Thursday that he would file a budget point of order against the comprehensive immigration bill at some point next week.
"It would spend $8.3 billion and it calls all of that spending emergency spending," Vitter said on the Senate floor. "That is just a slight of hand to try to avoid the caps we put in place to try to address spending and the debt."
The Senate confirmed two of President Obama's judicial nominees Thursday.
Jeffrey Schmehl was confirmed on a 100-0 vote to be U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
"Next weekend we will be working on this bill," Reid told senators on the floor.
Sen. Chuck Grassley blasted Democrats for burying his proposal and said the vote proves the amendment process "is a farce."
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said Wednesday that he was "throwing down the gauntlet" by demanding that his four amendments to the immigration reform bill be included in order for him to vote for final passage.
"I want to support this legislation, but I'm not going to unless we have common-sense measures like these," Hatch said on the Senate floor. "I'm throwing down the gauntlet."

A Little Better Than Average Flat
By Marjorie
from Edmonton
I find few ballerina flats to be really comfortable to spend much walking time in them, including these. For me, the biggest pet peeves of such flats are how low they often cut the front part of the shoe so that the slits of ones toes peek out. And whether the edging on the cut is so stiff for support that every step you take, the edging digs across the front of your foot. Fortunately these Baxton flats do not come quite that low, so no toes peeking out. A plus there. No digging. There is also above average padding on the bottom of these which make them more comfortable. The patent front on the black gives a nice two-tone effect. A little dressier looking. These are not highly elasticized around, so at times I find the backs of my feet slipping up, but as the feet swell during the day it stops. Cute with leggings and capris. Can't recommend because I find ballet flats too hard to fit.

text: I want to make public one small project on CodePlex. Everybody knows that you can work with CodePlex like with TFS client and with SVN client as well. But really I can't work with it from SVN client. When I tried to add some binary file (it was dll) I got the error "Server sent unexpected return value (200 OK) in response to PUT request for …". How to solve this problem I don't know, I found thread at CodePlex's discussions Can't commit binary files using TortoiseSVN, but last message was at past year. Ok, I'm working with TFS at work, so for me it will be not a problem connect to CodePlex with TFS. But there are some distressing case, Visual Studio always ask credentials at every new connection to project. And I didn't find a checkbox "Save credentials". But I found the method.

This week our feature is singer-songwriter Mathew Santos. A classically trained, musical chameleon, with a voice that will thrill the spots from your leopard skin boots. Mathew first appeared in Fairfield at the behest of American Idolist, Caleb Hawley. Since then he's come back for two smokin solo gigs with an amazing keyboard player, named Matt. We'll feature a cross-section of his songs both young and old; rockers and ballads, in advance of his appearance this week at Cafe Paradiso. Plus new music by James Cotton ( the blues legend), Aoife O'Donovan, Arthur Lee Land (local fav), Dawes (folk rock), Trampled By Turtles (mountain music), Great Divide (Chicago soul) and the Vespers (folkabilly) not to mention the usual hidden gems by your Roots Rock Roadhouse favs.
I could not be happier about the Gin Palace Jesters (with yours truly on plink plink acoustic guitar and songwriting) coming to Fairfest on June 22.
My band mates (who are from Chicago and Pittsburgh and parts unknown) are looking forward to seeing the town that hatched me and the people who raised me.
We hope to give you the very best in traditional and original country and western music on our dances (to quote Mr. Ray Price). I look forward to seeing you before and after the show.
Obvious World Sunday Nights 11e/10c/9m/8p
"Acid jazz" is a genre that has been used to describe a large variety of different artists and sounds over the years, but I feel it can be divided neatly into two categories. On one side we have experimental jazz bands (usually featuring a Hammond organ) that dabble in soul, funk and R&B, (sometimes incorporating synthesizers, turntables or other electronic sounds into the groove). And on the other side we've got DJ's and electronic music producers that combine jazz, funk and soul samples with hip-hop and house beats.
On this Saturday night's edition of the After Hours we'll be listening to some of my favorite examples of that first category. I'll be playing some Shimmy: an album released last year as the result of a collaboration between Billy Martin (from Medeski Martin and Wood) on drums and Wil Blades on the Hammond B3 organ. I've been really digging this album and think it's amazing the grooves these guys can pump out as just an organ/drum duo. On top of that we'll be hearing from The Greyboy Allstars, Heavy Shift, The RH Factor, Ronny Jordan, James Taylor Quartet, John Scofield, Marc Johnson's Bass Desires and many more. If you can get down with some experimental jazz-funk-soul fusion then don't miss it (streamed live 10pm-12am CTZ right here on KRUU). Also, if you want to ckeck out the flipside of acid jazz (DJs that spin jazz, funk, hip-hop and house together) then look out for my show next week (05/25) when we'll be listening to Amon Tobin, St. Germain, Parov Stelar, Mr. Scruff, Blockhead, Skalpel and Herbaliser among others. Enjoy ;)
Nothing happens in the past, this is our time, so leave us enjoy it in a bigtime way. Here is the bird's-eye lowdown on this caper, whatever that means: Neil Young dominates this show with the song 'Driftin'Back', an opus of 27:37 from his latest release Psychedelic Pill. However, that is not the best song in this segment, that honor goes to The Wallets from their 1983 release 'Catch A Falling Star', with a song called I Want To. Check out the front cover on your favorite search engine. We will actually go all the way back to 1968 for a song by the band Q 65, '80% O'. What does it mean? Also The Moody Blues, The Velvet Underground, and The White Stripes will bring it like there's no tomorrow. And they would be right, so listen in while you can, you can sleep when you're dead..... Cool Breeze
3pm, I'll be interviewing Napoleon Gomez, the exiled leader of Mexico's powerful mining and metalworkers union Los Mineros. His book Collapse of Dignity is just out and it's a helluva read. One of my favorite interviews I've ever done. You will not think about unions the same way after hearing what this man and his family has been through standing up for workers' rights and safety.
4pm we go "Inside the Headlines" with Newsvandal JP Sottile who's written two incredible articles this week on on Big Oil's War on the Sun for Counterpunch and another on Glenn Greenwald challenge to Bill Mahr's skewed anti-Muslim views. He's hard on all religions, it's true, but his special venom for Islam is confronted.

Tune in to Writer's Voices for our post-Mothers' Day interviews with two of Leafwood Publishers fine authors. First up, at 1 pm, we have trial lawyer Susan Dimickele on air to discuss her new book "Working Women of the Bible: Timeless Mentors for Modern Women." Susan is also the author of "Chasing Superwoman: A Working Mom's Adventures in Life and Faith." This is a very timely subject, given all of the controversy that has been ignited by Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg's recent book about working women, "Lean In." With chapters like "Ruth: Embracing Plan C" and "Jezebel: The Ultimate Power Trip," Dimickele show that strong working women have been around a very long time. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the often-overlooked women of the Bible who defied cultural norms and held positions of power and influence.
At 1:30 we will turn to "The Baby Companion: A Faith-Filled Guide for Your Journey through Baby's First Year." Co-author Jessica Wolstenhom will be our guest. "The Baby Companion" is Jessica's follow-up to her 2011 book "The Pregnancy Companion: A Faith Filled Guide for Your Journey to Motherhood." This book takes us month by month through baby's first year, with information about infant development, baby care, and mommy care too! Jessica's two coauthors are Dr. Andrea Johnston, pediatrician, and Dr. Heather Rupe, OB/GYN.

snoop dogg says he was led by spirit to immerse himself in the spiritual culture of jamaica, and he was reincarnated as snoop lion. the result: a creative, melodic, reggae cd; with nary an r-rated word. i feature several songs from the cd--released last week--and they are wonderful. you'll espcially love "fruit juice," "rebel way," and the surprisingly sweet: "the good good." miley cyrus joins snoop on "ashtrays and heartbreaks." but beware: snoop's not some born-again milk toast; he still has an edge, but he's added lots of love.
also released last week was the soundtrack to "the great gatsby," featuring artists like will.i.am, beyonce, andre 3000, and the xx.
i'll also play 2 tracks from the new cd by vampire weekend: "step" and "diane young" (ie, dying young).
here's a list of all the songs you'll hear.

Mother's Day – the Hallmark-inspired combination of flowers, cards, brunch, presents, family time, and whatever else all you Mothers out there desire for the one day a year that is (supposedly) all yours. Even if we should be celebrating mothers every week, it is nice to fully appreciate the oft-overlooked continuous work they do to keep their families from becoming completely dysfunctional. This year, Mother's Day gave me a chance to thank my wife for being Supermom to Josie and Tommy over the last nine months. It also got me to thinking about my Mom, and the generations of Mothers that have shaped my life, including one I never met yet is right next to me during my battle with melanoma.
See, my paternal grandmother, Francis Sharpe, died of breast cancer 43 years ago. Obviously, there is no way of knowing if her cancer had any hereditary impact on my current condition; it's unlikely, but fill out the "Family Medical History" section on enough medical forms and the doubt creeps in. It's also worth noting that both maternal grandparents had their own bouts with the big C, so my ancestors aren't doing me any favors here.
My grandfather remarried a year after I was born, and I am lucky to have grown up knowing his second wife as "Mom Mom," and one of my four grandparents – never as "my step-grandmom." My cousins and I never lacked in the grandmother department, as she treated each of the Sharpe grandkids the same as the ones she already had.

With the beginning of summer looming and its increase in outdoor activities, May has become the self-proclaimed Melanoma Awareness Month among the different groups and societies that support melanoma patients and survivors. Monday, May 6th, is the day you will see black ribbons, Facebook pictures with black sashes, and the like (you'll also see orange; apparently there's a melanoma color debate going on. As a Flyers fan, I'm fine with either, or both). So, while I've written a ton about dealing with melanoma, let's go over what skin cancer and melanoma are – and why you need to know how to prevent them.
Skin cancer is the general term for any cancer originating in the epidermis. Besides melanoma, that includes are Basal Cell and Squamous Cell cancers, named for the layers of skin they originate from. While "skin cancer" does not crack the top 20 cancers in terms of mortality rate, it is widely cited as the most common form of cancer diagnosed in the United States, with an estimated one million new diagnosed cases.
Melanoma, while a small (5%) subset of overall skin cancers, are by far the most deadly. There will be an estimated 9,500 melanoma deaths in this country in 2013 – that's a little more than one per HOUR. Melanoma has a great five-year survival rate (98%) if detected early, before any spreading occurs. That number falls drastically to 15% when the disease metastasizes – i.e. spreads to different organs, the fun I am dealing with right now. So:

Thursday, May 2, 1996. Rumors Bar and Grill, owned by my friend and lab partner Eric's parents. A bunch of Carnegie Mellon Betas crowded around the bar, celebrating my 21st birthday the night before the last day of classes. Shots all around – starting with Sambuca after dinner and ending with unlabeled Scotch (thanks, guys) in the early morning hours. Needless to say, I didn't make my last day of classes that Friday – and my roommate nearly had to drop physics as a result of our prior night's carousing.
Thursday, May 2, 2013. Holy Cross Hospital, owned by the Sisters of Mercy, the Miami archdiocese, and by Jesus (I guess). Jen and I and some medical professionals crowded around an IV pole, celebrating my 38th birthday before PD-1 dose #2, or as Brodie Bruce and I refer to it, the Second Shot, even if it's an IV. If only they had black licorice-flavored immunotherapy… (Cuz is working on it)
Birthdays have evolved quite a bit in the 6,210 days since college, eh? Besides the literal "getting older" reminder, the focus shifted from "fun times" to "hey, I get one day this year for me!" Today, we don't even really have that – with the Second Shot being the morning of my birthday, it was family breakfast before and some Primo Hoagies afterwards for lunch. (They just opened one here in Fort Lauderdale; this would be way more exciting if 95% of the menu wasn't cold cuts and cheese, and a complete no-no on the cancer diet. Ah well, a birthday treat of tuna hoagie somehow wiggles its way onto the diet.)

Let's get this out of the way now - if you get a little queasy from hearing bodily functions in detail, you might want to think twice about proceeding. If toilet humor makes you sick instead of making you laugh, this might be the time to read the Phillies' High Cheese blog instead. If you have trouble changing diapers or cleaning the bathroom, well, thanks for checking us out, I will have something more palatable for you Thursday, enjoy your day.
However, if you have no qualms about something that isn't fun or easy to discuss over morning coffee and happy hour beers, then learning how to live with a colostomy is today's topic for you. I know, not exact the… uh… 'stuff' you sit around chitchatting about every day (and FYI, this is going to read like a George Carlin skit - the seven words you can never blog about on Philly.com; I'll let you fill in the double entendre here, but this should be a layup… colostomy, 'stuff', you get it, right??)
Anyways, before the editor sends this back with a big "We can't publish this 'stuff' T.J.!!" (see?!?!), away we go. A colostomy is, in very basic terms, an opening where your colon gets rerouted out to another part of your body; in my case, my lower left abdominal wall. (For a little more detail on what an "ostomy" is – there are several kinds – and how I ended up with mine, click here). I couldn't get a good number on how many people in the U.S. currently have colostomies, but it is estimated there are up to 100,000 ostomy surgeries every year. So you might not know someone who has or had one, but chances are someone in your phone's contacts list does. Plus, now you know me.
T.J. Sharpe
So what exactly is an "ostomy", and how did I get one? Many of you have probably heard of a colostomy, or a colostomy bag, but, much like me, had no idea what it meant or what happens to those who get one.
An "ostomy" is an opening created somewhere on the body to remove 'stuff' from your body, i.e. waste. In my case, we're talking about a colostomy, the most well-known ostomy, where the colon is detached and routed out of the body to a "stoma", where the 'stuff' exits. Your colon sort of circumnavigates around your entire abdominal cavity, starting near your right pelvic bone and going in a big, upside-down U shape up your right side (roughly along your oblique) , across the abdomen about halfway between your belly button and chest, and then back down the left oblique side before being routed out the back.
The colon functions as the final gathering place for waste that needs to be removed from your body. When something damages the colon – often colon cancer, but there are quite a few other reasons the procedure is performed – the damaged parts are surgically removed, the end towards the rectum stapled shut, and the healthy end routed out of the body to an opening called the stoma.

I wrote last week about being your own advocate with your doctors and health care, but what about advocating externally? Many of us hold strong beliefs, yet keep them internalized or among those who share the same opinions. Politics, religion, sports – you hear ad nauseam debate on these from every talk show host, amateur blogger (hey, that's me!), drunken bar patron, and annoying relative at holiday dinners. Yet, when it comes to stuff that affects our daily health – like, say, skin care and melanoma awareness – the pockets of voices shouting are often drowned out by the silence of indifference.
I've spent the last 12 years leading by example – my closet filled with long sleeve shirts, a hat always tossed on top of the beach bag, suitcase, or Jeep stick shift. Sunscreen is everywhere. I have not been very evangelical about it, though – plenty of friends and family still sit in the sun for way too long with way too little protection. While I quite often give my disapproving looks (inherited from Mom) or make a comment or two – have I really done much to raise their awareness of the risks? (Well, other than get melanoma again – the sacrifices I make…) Most anyone knows getting sunburn is a bad idea, that you should wear sunscreen, etc… and yet so many still end up exposing themselves to the damage the sun can cause.
I was humbled and honored to be presented with the Melanoma International Foundations's Patient Advocate of the Year award on Sunday. It reminded me that just typing my experiences about this battle isn't enough. To truly reach people, advocacy requires depth of knowledge, the willingness to share that knowledge, and an ability to communicate so the intended audience, or at least part of it, comprehends the message and how it impacts their lives. Ideally, an advocate can help show a better way without coming across condescending (another inherited family trait that I haven't seemed to fully shake). The last thing anyone wants to read is someone nagging about harmful UV rays, sun-protective clothes, and zinc oxide.
T.J. Sharpe
So now that we are underway with Plan B, it would probably be a good idea to give some more details on what exactly Plan B is and how it's going to help me overcome this pesky melanoma nuisance. As the last blog post read, we started last Friday with the Merck PD-1 trial at Holy Cross Hospital here in Fort Lauderdale.
What is PD-1? PD-1 stands for Programmed Death-1 – nice, fellas, we couldn't have picked something a little softer, just in case it was ever critical in treating cancer? Although commonly referred to as "PD-1", the syntactically correct description of the infusion I am receiving is a "PD-1 antibody" or "anti-PD-1". PD-1 is a protein found on the surface of T-cells (immune system cells) in our bodies; this protein binds with protein PD-L1 that is expressed in cancer cells, and together they protect the cancer cell from attack by our own immune system. Basically, we have an intruder in the midst and a turncoat in our army of immune cells that enables him to remain hidden.
Anti-PD-1 is an immunotherapy drug that targets breaking that PD-1/PD-L1 shield so the loyal soldiers can get in there and give these tumor cells a good old-fashioned beating – kind of like the whupping those responsible for the Boston Marathon tragedy yesterday are going to get. The antibody primarily prevents the binding of the PD-1 and PD-L1 proteins; I can't fully articulate the biology behind it, but generally speaking, it keeps that connection from happening and thus enables the T cells to do their job and unleash hell on the cancer cells. Turncoat thwarted, enemy defeated.
T.J. Sharpe
For those of you who like to cut right to the chase, here is the short and sweet update. We are on to Plan B, starting Friday, and I have been randomized into the treatment group – that's the one that gets the trial drug, in this case, Merck's PD-1 antibody. The entire family exhaled; we will stay in Fort Lauderdale, be able to continue diet and nutrition adjustments, and get our preferred treatment.
This comes just in the nick of time, literally. I ended up in the hospital for two days with stomach pain and vomiting. The doctors couldn't seem to find an obvious alternate clause, so the assumption is that the liver and spleen tumors are putting pressure on the intestine. I still think a combination of things helped put me there – overexertion, not staying hydrated, and some bean soup – but the CT scan I had showed the tumors are still growing and no other obvious signs of blockage.
The last few days had its share of emotions; finding out we got the PD-1 was the final hill of the roller coaster, but certainly not the only up and down moment. I thought the week would start with us finishing the trial enrollment process, instead of it ending that way. Rather, it began with potentially avoidable delays (including one I was responsible for by not getting the scans from Moffitt on Good Friday when I should have) and led to my cleaning out the garage with my buddy Jax.
T.J. Sharpe
So, when battling a deadly disease, you would hope there is some clear-cut, scientific, easily understood information regarding tangentially taking care of your heath, outside said disease. Sadly, you wouldn't just be wrong, you'd be WAY wrong.
You are about to hear just a fraction of why making choices for health outside the boundaries of clinical trials and FDA-approved treatments can make your head feel dizzy. And, why some of these controversial opinions and oft-cited facts have many believing that the "cure" for cancer and other diseases lies not within the labs and halls of medicine, but on the farm and in the grocery aisle.
I touched on the "cancer diet" in a previous post, but for posterity and those too busy to go read about vegetables, it breaks down like this – with the help of a nutritionist friend, I am on a pretty strict diet that features raw (and some cooked) veggies, limited fruit, some fish, lots of beans, a little egg, some nuts, and oh yea, more veggies. Gone from the pantry – animal meat, all dairy (giving up yogurt was tough), almost all processed foods, and sugar. Not just refined sugar, but really anything that spikes your blood sugar – hence the limited fruits. Her words to me were: "sugar feeds cancer."
T.J. Sharpe
It has been a whirlwind week; Blue Cross FL has to be shaking their heads as they see authorization after authorization come in. First, a dermatologist visit last Wednesday, which I found almost comical. It had nothing to do with the doctor, though – the irony of getting checked for potentially cancerous skin legions two days before they are going to scan my entire upper body for anything cancerous was just too much for my smart-aleck sense of humor.
Upon taking off a mole (and found the biopsy negative), my response: "Hey, well at least I don't have melanoma… right THERE!!"
Talking to the doctor about any new spots: "Well, the good thing is that the surgical scars seem to be pretty clear, so I have actually gotten LESS spots in the last half-year…"

Etape 2009
Etape du Tour 2011
I, along with some friends, am eager to participate in the 2011 Etape but I not sure how viable this ambition is. I'm not talking ability to finish (I can worry about that if I get the chance to go), more getting a place and organising travel and accommodation logistics.
Does anyone have any tips/recommendations/warnings about tour companies and their associated prices - I've had a search online and while I can find lots of details regarding the packages that were available this year, they no longer have the associated prices listed.
Any information would be most welcome.

SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers dc ballistic testing for the determination of basic magnetic properties of materials in the form of ring, toroidal, link, double-lapped Epstein cores, or other standard shapes which may be cut, stamped, machined, or ground from cast, compacted, sintered, forged, or rolled materials. It includes tests for normal induction and hysteresis taken under conditions of steep wavefront reversals of the direct-current magnetic field strength.
1.2 This test method shall be used in conjunction with Practice A 34/A 34M.
1.3 This test method is suitable for a testing range from very low magnetic field strength up to 200 or more Oe [15.9 or more kA/m]. The lower limit is determined by integrator sensitivity and the upper limit by heat generation in the magnetizing winding. Special techniques and short duration testing may extend the upper limit of magnetic field strength.
1.4 Testing under this test method is inherently more accurate than other methods. When specified dimensional or shape requirements are observed, the measurements are a good approximation to absolute properties. Test accuracy available is primarily limited by the accuracy of instrumentation.
1.5 This test method permits a choice of test specimen to permit measurement of properties in any desired direction relative to the direction of crystallographic orientation without interference from external yoke systems.
1.6 The symbols and abbreviated definitions used in this test method appear in Fig. 1 and Sections 5, 6, 9, and 10. For the official definitions see Terminology A 340. Note that the term flux density used in this document is synonymous with the term magnetic induction.
1.7 Warning—Mercury has been designated by EPA and many state agencies as a hazardous material that can cause central nervous system, kidney, and liver damage. Mercury, or its vapor, may be hazardous to health and corrosive to materials. Caution should be taken when handling mercury and mercury-containing products. See the applicable product Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for details and EPA's website (http://www.epa.gov/mercury/faq.htm) for additional information. Users should be aware that selling mercury or mercury-containing products, or both, in your state may be prohibited by state law.
1.8 The values stated in either customary (cgs-emu and inch-pound) units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within this test method, the SI units are shown in brackets except for the sections concerning calculations where there are separate sections for the respective unit systems. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with this method.
1.9 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
Note— A1—Multirange ammeter, main-magnetizing current circuit A2—Multirange ammeter, hysteresis-current circuit N1—Magnetizing (primary) winding N 2—Flux-sensing (secondary) winding F—Electronic integrator R1—Main current control rheostat R2—Hysteresis current control rheostat S1—Reversing switch S2—Shunting switch for hysteresis current control rheostat

Just the dullness. And to heck with this 'resisting' idea, that makes it seem that liking it is somehow a natural or correct approach. Garbage. I don't resist Mr. WK, I just don't find the results worth a damn and worth the consideration.
I quite liked the "YOU.........YOU WORK ALL DAY" part of Party Hard but that's about it. It was oddly compelling.

Your explanation vis-a-vis unrelenting noise that achieves transcendence in repetition certainly makes sense when it comes to the comparison with Lightning Bolt, say. I like that thought, I may take it as my own. ;-) But I like Lightning Bolt and think WK is go-nowhere codswallop. So they may have similar intents, but terribly different results.
(I think Andrew WK is funny, though I could only tolerate about 10 seconds of his SNL performance.)

The $64,000 question. ;-) Mostly it's because of the semi-assumption above I vigorously protest, namely that it is instantly catchy dumb pop/rock. WRONG, at least in my ears. His sin is not attempting his approach, his sin lies in doing so and failing miserably.

It seems that not to like WK is apparently a sign of being anti-pop, being anti-dumb fun, being a snob, being humorless, being too serious, being a poor sport, etc. I find all these assumptions wanting.

You, Ned, don't like Andrew WK because he's unmemorable - this tells me nothing about you except your ears work in v.different ways from mine (which I knew anyway) and that you make a lot of fuss about a property (unmemorableness) that doesn't bother me. In fact it's you who's applying an assumed framework to WK - he is pop therefore he must be catchy. I happen to think he is catchy and pop but more than that I love him for the noises and textures: WK tracks make me think of cross-section pictures of the earth's crust, this vast layer of magma and rock (the guitars) with this tiny pretty layer of trees and grass perfectly balanced on top (the keyboards).

It's basically a heavy sugary Devo, with a wrestler's voice. And maybe a little Elton John/John Tesh on the piano bits. The whole metal image seems to be a non-clever rue to make Mr. WK to be some sort of rock god, where in fact, I enjoy the music for all the reasons BUT.

*scratches chin* Now this makes me wonder...can it be possible to create something intentionally uncatchy but aimed at a pop audience? Nothing to do with Andrew WK now, more thinking about what pop 'should' be.

Then maybe the answer is WK is the new Vanilla Ice.
AWK was on Jarvis's show this week. I didn't find the music selection to be hugely inspiring and don't think Jarv is particularly good as a radio presenter but it's a pretty good interview with Andrew, if a little laid back. Starts at about 1:00.

(take your pick), and the "Illuminati" (if they exist) are decentralized, they don't have an HQ or whatever and if they did it would probably be in Europe.
Also, clearly AWK isn't a robot or mind-slave or whatever, he is a clone of Jesus Christ (one of two, the other being Steeve Mike), and Dick Clark is Melchizedek. This is all just so obvious...

ned, have you changed your mind on Mr. WK from the second post on the thread (where you said, quote, "garg")?

still a completely bewildering cultural phenomenon to me (mr wk). what kind of weight do people give the steev mike thing? elaborate hoax? was wk a noise artist hired to be a manufactured artist by the studios or what? i still don't fucking get it. I think about this more than anyone cares to know.

(above post was meant to say: my kid watches DBD every chance HE gets. sorry I have had no sleep)
There's a theory that the "original" AWK is not the same guy that it is now, but I'm not sure if I believe it. There was a site that detailed all this that had some very convincing evidence, but it also had some weird ties into the Illuminati and junk like that, so I think a lot of it is your standard conspiracy stuff.
I'm guessing there's something weird going on with it all since it's effected things like the US release of Close Calls (4 years late) but I do thing AWK is purposely making things ambiguous and vague

I was at an Andrew WK gig last month and it was really quite disappointing. That Alisteir X guy really needs to get off the stage. And the audience needed to be allowed ON the stage. Oh well, never mind. I was lucky enough to be in this video and my pals and I all had a great time. It's a new thing that Andrew did with the Evaporators.

I saw him twice last January (one full-band, one solo @ keyboard and playing classic radio jams for audience members to karaoke to) and both were great; the audience were all over the stage. One 120kg-looking hairy sweatball got upset when the crowd started moving out of the way the FOURTH time he tried to stagedive.

Previous experiences with him have been wondrous but this one was at a shitty venue with terrible sound, too big and too high of a stage which created this distance between him and the audience that I have never experienced before. And Aleister X was onstage with him the whole time, mugging like a maniac and generally dragging things down. I must say that the crowd were as enthusiastic as ever but I just wasn't feeling it.

Has this been posted? I assume its AWK on keys and uh ---- he's not a bad jazz pianist IMO!
(that said this album is kind of boring to me mainly because its alot of guitar noodling)

Amazing tonight in Glasgow on the 'I Get Wet' anniversary tour.
It was a fantastically fun show; ceaseless energy and a phenomenally positive vibe to everything, right through both AWK's music and the sold-out, ecstatic, fist-pumping, pogo-ing, crowd-surfing, good-natured audience.

was there too. pretty decent. ive more or less abandoned watching live music as a thing but it was very enjoyable and im glad i went, tho i wasnt partying partic hard and i left before the end, when he played a new song.

unfortunate! though his bit of soloing on his pizza slice guitar early in the evening was less than virtuoso i must say.

The London gig was hilarious and glorious, it was probably the most up-for-it crowd I've ever seen at a gig. Like there were more people up on the stage by the end than there were in the audience. One of the first people to invade the stage was in a banana suit and Andrew WK was hitting him on the head with an inflatable banana in time with the drums.

He shouldn't have upgraded the venue in London. Upstairs at the Forum was very sparsely populated indeed, though it didn't feel like a dead gig because of the energy from downstairs.

I was there too! I briefly appear in the video on the bottom right about 10 seconds in grinning like an idiot. Hilarious and glorious sums up the experience, can't remember a rock gig when I've seen so many people just smiling.

Does he straight-up run through I Get Wet in a Don't Look Back fashion, or does he play other material?

Put on "Close Calls" and "Mother of Mankind" again. Those are both killer. At his best he's got this awesome Sparks/Cardiacs vibe, but a little heavier. I observed the same thing that someone upthread did about "Kicks and Bricks" - when placed next to everything else, it does really sound like a different person. Of course, maybe he's the same but he just decided to stop singing like that to preserve his voice...?
I admit to being really baffled by the guy. For someone who writes 800-word responses to simple questions in interviews it's crazy how little actual information we have on him. All the stuff contenderizer and co. posted on CCWBW were totally OTM - there's something very sinister about this record, and it doesn't feel contrived or put on or anything, just really bizarre. I wonder if he'll do another one like it.
To answer etc's question, in Milwaukee he played all of I Get Wet, with some interludes of him banging on a piano, then a few from the Wolf, and only one tune from Close Calls ("You Will Remember Tonight"). "Head Bang" from the new EP was played and it's as awesome live as you'd expect.

repping for multinational junk food IS pretty sinister, even if he's being ironic/over-the-top:"Andrew W.K. - I eat all the best food! Taco Bell, always! And lots of candy, obviously. And I eat tons of Pringles chips, and cheese crackers like Cheese Nips, and I eat lots and lots of microwave meals, like frozen burritos, Hungry Man XL dinners, and Stouffer's meals. And I also love Chunky soups - just all the best tasting food. It's my joy! I eat this food at home too, not just on the road. My goal is always to just eat as much good food as possible, all the time. When we stop at gas stations and truck stops, it's like an amusement park for me! I'll buy three of every single candy bar they have, and then lay them all out on the table in our bus so you can really appreciate the spread and their awesome wrappers. You can have any of them that you want! It's like our own personal candy store. I also get lots and lots of pizza and cheese burgers, french fries, fried chicken. And like I said before, I eat at Taco Bell whenever I see one, even if I'm not that hungry. Sometimes I'll eat at Taco Bell three times in one day. It's all part of my heavenly life. It's just pure happiness. "

In the days since the cancellation, I've received inside tips that there was a passionate debate in the State Dept. about my going at the last second. It's possible that someone outside of the State Dept. who wasn't aware of the trip initially became incensed that they weren't informed before. Apparently some of these unknown higher-up officials were on my side and others were deeply offended by the idea of me going.

Thu, May 03, 2007
In response to last year's midair collision over Brazil involving a private Embraer Legacy 600 business jet, and a Gol Airlines 737, on Wednesday the National Transportation Safety Board issued three safety recommendations geared at solving what the Board calls a "critical safety issue" when traffic collision avoidance systems (TCAS) fail, without the flight crew's knowledge.
As Aero-News reported, Gol Airlines flight 1907 plunged into a thickly-jungled region September 30, about 18 miles from Peixoto de Azevedo, Brazil. All 154 persons onboard the 737-800 were killed; the pilots of the Embraer were able to make an emergency landing following the collision.
The NTSB noted the bizjet's transponder was not being received by ATC radar prior to the collision... and such a failure could have compromised safety alerts in the cockpits of both aircraft.
"The investigation of this accident is ongoing," the NTSB states in its report, "however, preliminary findings suggest that a critical safety issue exists regarding the loss of functionality of an aircraft's collision avoidance system (comprising a transponder and a traffic alert and collision avoidance system [TCAS] and resulting cockpit warnings to flight crews. Flight data recorder (FDR) and cockpit voice recorder (CVR) information from both airplanes revealed no indication of any TCAS alert on board either airplane (both airplanes were equipped with mode S transponders and TCAS II computer units), no evidence of pre-collision visual acquisition by either flight crew, and no evidence of evasive action by either crew."
To address the possibility a failed or inoperable transponder may compromise TCAS warnings, the NTSB issued the following recommendations:
Airborne 05.17.13: X-47B Carrier Launch, New Base For CAF, Space Oddity... For Real!
Aero-TV: The Orbis Flying Eye Hospital -- Thirty Years of Saving Sight
Airborne 05.14.13: Towers Stay, EAA Makes Membership MTG Changes, Maverick Down

If you use time.steady(strict=True) for timeout, it means that you cannot use select, threads, etc. if your platform doesn't provide monotonic clock, whereas it works "well" (except the issue of adjusted time) with Python < 3.3.
