I love this ring. Even though I read the size I was still expecting it to be just a little larger. However, I'm still not dissappointed in the ring. It has so much sparkle. I do wish it had had just some points of white diamonds around the edge or even diamond accent or tiny czs. Not too much or it would not be right for an everyday ring. I consider this an every day ring. It will go with anything and I'm sure to get many compliments on this one. It will surely be one of my favorites because I can wear it with jeans or anything. I'm nearly 59 years old, but I think any age could wear this ring past 18 years old or so just depending on your taste. It's one beautiful ring however you look at it. I love it!!!!Read More
I like that this ring is not too big but still adds some shimer to an everyday outfit. It fits well and is comfortable on my finger.Read More

Vince Hubert purchased this cabin in 2007
There is a pool table in the basement, a dock on the water to fish or swim from. There is a nearby boat ramp 1/2 mile down the road and we also have boat and jet ski rentals available!
Gorgeous! Lots of room! Beds were very comfortable. States there is a boat but wasnt 1. Half of reason we got it was for boat. Floors squeaked bad. Tried to ask bout boat. No answer. Asked why last of money hadnt been takin out since i paid thurs. No answer not til i text him on tues askin again did he finally take it out but didnt even respond to the text.
The pictures of this cabin do not do it justice. An absolutely wonderful cabin, attentive property owners who provided the best customer service possible. The kitchen was fully stocked with any utensils you could need from an electric skillet, blender, crock pot, stock pots and much more. This made prepared meals for a large group rather easy. Finally, the view of the river were breath taking. Very enjoyable stay, will be back!

CLOISTER OF THE MONASTERY OF RIPOLL 1 D O S S I E R T H E BIRTH O F T H E C A T A L A N P E O P L E CATALONIA WAS BORN MORE THAN A THOUSAND YEARS AGO, WHEN SHE BROKE OFF FROM THE CAROLINGIAN TRUNK AND, GROWING OUT OF THE "SPANISH MARCH", SHE SHOOK OFF ALL SUBMISSION BEYOND THE PYRENEES AND SET OUT ON HER OWN PATH THROUGH HISTORY. O ations don't spring up at ran- dorn, like rnushroorns. In the ma- jority of cases, their birth, as in the case of Catalonia, has involved long and painful labour that has lasted for centuries. There are nations that in spite of having been born more or less as such survive in a perpetua1 adoles- cence until they die of exhaustion or are absorbed by another, stronger nation. What do we understand by Catalonia? This is where we have to start frorn. Strictly, or rather, politically speaking, Catalonia today is the north-eastern re- gion of Spain -recognized as a "nation- ality" by the Spanish constitution of 1978 and given substance as an Auto- nornous Community by the Statute of CLIMENT F O R N E R P o E T 1979-, rnade up of four provinces: Bar- celona, Tarragona, Lleida and Girona. It is also known as the Principality of Catalonia. But in a broad sense, true to history, it is more, rnuch more: it corn- prises everything known as the Paisos Catalans, or Catalan Lands, which, to use an emblernatic expression, stretch from Salses to Guardamar and frorn Fraga to Maó. The Paisos Catalans today are distri- buted over three states: Spain, France and Andorra. Although they were not given this name until the end of the nineteenth century, frorn at least the twelfth century they consisted of the group of lands whose language was Catalan, differentiated from Latin for centuries. Later on, in the thirteenth cen- tury, due to the growth of the Catalan population, the Balearic lslands and the País Valencia were incorporated.

Should a guy trim and or shave his penis and balls?
Most Helpful Guy
I think so, at least for now, the fashion trend will change then you can shave them00|00|0
Should a guy trim and or shave his penis and balls?
I think so, at least for now, the fashion trend will change then you can shave them
Have an opinion?
If you expect girls that you sleep with to shave, then yes.
Honestly, I prefer that my lover isn't shaved. While I can appreciate a neatly trimmed pube, I believe that pubic hair is a sign of sexual maturity. As a female, I keep myself trimmed neatly short but still have an indication of the fact that I am a grown woman. Just my choice.
Well trim is better I think^^ Shave...makes you look like a little boy in my opinion:P
I've been trying to get my boyfriend to do it for a while now;)
Well it depends if your girl wants you or not,in my opinion yeah I do like it when my man shave but I really don't mind,
But if you don't feel comfortable with it just shave!
I love it completely shaved and smooth!
don't shave... trim it... it's harder to shave with razors and you run the chance of cutting yourself.. get some clippers and go to work.lol
Definitely a personal preference; however, if this matters, many women prefer to give oral sex to a shaved tool. Sometimes shaving creates raw skin or itchiness; using a quality penis health cream (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) with natural moisturizers can help.
My theory is this. If you expect a woman/girl to shave, Then you better plan on it too.

Beale AFB Gives Identity Theft Speaker Dose of Own Medicine (ouch!)
I spoke about an hour ago to the Airmen (and women) of Beale Air Force Base outside of Sacramento, California. The room was packed with incredibly inquisitive, highly dedicated members of our armed services. There was a General in the audience; obviously the base cares about their personnel and take their data security very seriously. They weren't there just to see an identity theft speaker, they were there because part of protecting our country against aggressors means that they must also protect the flow of information that makes our nation so powerful. With military, corporate and industrial espionage on the rise, they are smart to be focusing on the proactive protection of knowledge assets.
And they gave me a dose of my own medicine.
After the speech, my cab didn't show up on base to take me back to the airport, so, in a bit of a panic, I called another cab company. In a rush, the dispatcher asked me for my credit card number, expiration date, name and security code (from the back of the card). Not wanting to slow the process down, I proceeded to give that information over the phone. When I was off of the call, a woman sitting across the lobby who had seen me speak, said this to me:
Trust Me, you need to hear something Mr. John Sileo, Professional Identity Theft Speaker. Hogwash! Sitting here, I could've written down everything you just said and shopped all day on your credit card. You shouldn't give that information out in public! You are letting it out of your Control with no way to Justify how it is used. And you had several better Options – like walking out the door to a more private place. You should have at least Stopped to think about what you were doing. [Then she busted out laughing at my bright-red face].
Touche'. I am humbled and appreciative that this woman not only internalized what I was talking about during the presentation, but she had the courage to call me on it and do something about it. Bravo. You see, even a purported identity theft expert doesn't always do it right. We are always learning, aren't we?
It is the highest honor for me to be able to serve the United States military, who so valiantly and humbly serve every American. Thank you Beale AFB, and a special thanks to the woman who fed me my own medicine when I needed it.
During my speech, I promised to give you easy-to-complete action steps to protect your identity against theft, as well as that of your loved ones. I'd like to deliver on that promise by directing you to a full page article I've written specifically for you: The Military Identity Theft Protection Kit. If you have additional suggestions for protecting military IDs that I haven't covered in this article, please include your comments at the bottom of the post. With your input, this conversation should contribute to the financial stability of our armed forces – which is vital, because, as you are aware, financial readiness is mission readiness.
For those of you who asked to purchase a copy of my book, Stolen Lives, you can do so at www.ThinkLikeASpy.com. Be sure you choose the Speaking Engagement Shipping option in your shopping cart as it will give you free shipping.
The wonderful people at the Beale Airman and Family Readiness Center have put additional identity theft prevention resources for you online. If you are already a victim, visit their identity theft recovery PDF.
There were several questions that were asked after my speech was over that I wanted to address here:
- Does freezing your credit affect your ability to make charges on your credit card? Absolutely not! It only affects new accounts being set up (car loans, home loans, etc.) using your credit profile. It will not affect any existing accounts that you have. You will still be able to make purchases on your credit or debit card without any additional hassle.
- How do I protect my kids? I recommend that you simply monitor your kid's credit reports, much like you would your own. To learn how to get a free credit report for a child, read this excellent article from creditcards.com.
- To add children to your identity monitoring service (such as CSIdentity) visit the Child Identity Monitoring Section on their website.
5 Responses to Beale AFB Gives Identity Theft Speaker Dose of Own Medicine (ouch!)
Thank you for coming to Beale today Mr Sileo. I was one of many uniformed members in the audience (I asked you protecting my soon-to-be 18 year old son's credit)
I took more away from your speech than any others. As a matter of fact, I just walked in the door at home, and fired up the computer. I was planning to go check our son's credit report (hoping it's empty) and decided to visit your site first to see if your blog is up.
I enjoyed meeting you. And THANK YOU for the link you posted for a child's credit report. You're awesome 🙂
(now if you can just help me get him in college)
Thank you for the eye opening lecture. I learned a lot from your misfortunes and the examples you used throughout your speech. You gave me a healthy dose of skepticism/paranoia…thank you!
Agent 001
John –
I always thought I was extremely careful (sometimes to an abnormal extreme says some friends and coworkers) by shredding anything that has info that can be used for someone else's gain against me. Thank you for teaching me a better way to prevent our identity theft rather than simply shredding. I learned I could save some wear and tear on my shredder by STOPPING some of this inflowing paperwork at the source by preventing the paperwork to be established in the first place (opting out). Great life lesson today! Thank you for what you have done for those in attendence.
John, thanks again for a great speech. I learned alot. Compared to the other speeches, you were very engaging and I was awake the whole time:-) I have been a victim twice of identify theft and I'm still learning things I can do to keep my name and info safe. I'm spreading your word to all that will hear. Thanks for "Hogwash"!!
PS. You look like "The Bachelor" and also Rob Lowe. Just thought I would throw that in there.
I've learned a lot from this site – I hope you continue writing because I love your stuff!

Did you get your dose of the sunshine vitamin today? New research from the Boston University School of Medicine shows that you may be able to get all the vitamin D you need in a synthetic- or veggie-based supplement.
You've probably heard conflicting messages about vitamin D, including what form of D is best: D3 (naturally present in animal products and many supplements) or D2 (the synthetic version of the vitamin in some supplements and fortified foods).
You may unsubscribe at any time.
The new BU study re-ignites the debate: Healthy adults who took a supplement of 2,000 IU of vitamin D2 or a D2-based mushroom powder raised their blood levels of vitamin D just as much as people taking the same amount of a D3 supplement. (The mushrooms were exposed to ultraviolet light, which increases their levels of D.)
That's significant because it goes against some previous studies showing D3 to be more useful to the body. One, published in 2011 in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, found that D3 supplements were 87% more potent in raising vitamin D levels in the blood compared to a D2 supplement of the same dose.
"Whether vitamin D3 is more effective than D2 is still under investigation," says Erin LeBlanc, MD, MPH, a researcher at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research in Portland, Oregon, who has studied vitamin D but was not involved in the mushroom research. "Some studies have found vitamin D3 to be more effective, especially when doses are taken on a less than daily basis, such as every week or every month. However, other studies have found that they are both equally effective," she says.
Until more is known, it's okay to get your vitamin D as D3 or D2, LeBlanc says. The current RDA for vitamin D is 600 IU, but the Institute of Medicine suggests up to 4,000 IU a day is safe. Taking more than these recommendations isn't advised: Research by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine last year linked very high blood levels of vitamin D to increased inflammation that can increase your risk of heart disease, so it's best to check with your doctor about your individual needs.
If you don't eat animal-based foods, you can find D2 in fortified products, like soymilk; many brands pack 30% of your daily value per cup. To be sure it's D2, read the ingredients label and look for its official name "ergocalciferol."

- Gross profit increased $0.5 million, or 49%, to $1.4 million in the 2011 Quarter primarily due to the increase in net sales as well as increases in other components of cost of goods sold, offset in part by higher materials costs.
- Selling expenses of $0.4 million decreased $17 thousand, or 4%, in the 2011 Quarter primarily due to lower personnel costs.
- General and administrative expenses increased $0.3 million, or 38%, to $0.9 million in the 2011 Quarter primarily due to higher personnel costs.
- Other (expense) income declined $13 thousand to $6 thousand of expense in the 2011 Quarter due primarily to lower average interest rates on slightly lower cash balances compared to the 2010 Quarter while foreign currency losses decreased slightly.
- Net income was $17 thousand in the 2011 Quarter compared to a net loss of $0.2 million in the 2010 Quarter. The improvement resulted from higher gross profit on higher sales, offset in part by higher operating expenses and slightly higher other expense.

Ruby's Fruitcake Cookies
Recipe by Vicki G.
This is my aunt Ruby's recipe, which I have been baking every year for the last 13 years. All I can say is, without a doubt, they are definitely worth the full day's effort to make. Plus...these can be baked and stored for months in the freezer.
Top Review by Cookiemom
I tried these cookies or something similar at my husbands great aunts house. I just loved them. I kept asking for her recipe and she just never wanted to share it. So finally I went on line pulled them up and chose this one. It is absolutely wonderful and possibly even better than the ones I had eaten. The do freeze up great and everyone loves them that tries them. They are definitly going to the cookie swap this year. I also found a quick shortcut. You can buy the large container of pre chopped fruit cake fruit that comes with red and green cherries and the little pineapple chunks instead of doing all that chopping yourself and I also purchase the dates that are pre chopped. This speeds the process up incredibly and tastes emmm just as good....

Ana stretched her arms as she sat back in her seat, sighing as she slouched in the tall chair and surveyed the crowded bar. Between the time she had arrived with Callaghan and the time she finished her food, the relaxed chajio, chakula cha jioni crowd had been replaced kwa rowdy evening drinkers.
There were mostly young adults, couples and friend groups. A teenager in a flowered sun dress cuddled up to a young man in a jean koti, jacket and beanie. There was even a band consisting of a violinist, drummer, and guitarist setting up their equipment in the back corner.

Outside the ukuta of floor-to-ceiling windows was a maze of red steepled roof tops. Patches of green disrupted the city scape and, winding aimlessly through it at its own free will, was the wayward Spree. The rain had ceased and rays of sun beamed through the spent clouds to create glittering spotlights on the dark river's surface. Taped to the window's surface just above eye level were polaroid pictures of the city taken from different heights and angles. The river appeared in the montage again and again, populated with boats au bridges au pedestrians.
The darkness was pierced kwa the light shining from the open door. A solitary figure stepped into the room, looking around for the object of their study. There was half a sekunde of fright before they spotted it. A little black ball in the corner. With a soft sigh, he walked closer. The ball moved, weakly lifting it's head as the other approached. It hissed feebly, unable to do more. It had been days, almost a week since she'd been there. And almost a week since she'd had anything but the daily portion of water. She had become too weak to even hold her human form and had reverted to her cat...
The drizzle of rain was cool on her skin. She raised her arms to wonder at the minuscule droplets the same size and shape as the freckles decorating her bare arms and shoulders. Weeks had passed since the events in Venice. This was the first time she had been able to talk her way off the ship since then. The rain drops seemed to wash away the claustrophobia of being trapped on the ship with her traitorous brother and worsening nightmares of her sister. She tipped her head back and the peaceful feeling dissipated.
The sound of an alarm was the only thing that brought the boy to, not the eerie silence of the apartment, au the screeching siren that sounded throughout Gotham's streets. An outstretched arm hit the snooze button before rising, blonde hair hanging over his face. Shane grumbled out and turned the alarm off completely, staring at the blurry clock face. "It's almost noon.." He turned and looked out over the window, dragging himself out of kitanda to push the curtains open. The male then frowned at the gray skies and rain that left downtown Gotham in an overcast. He turned from the window and walked...

Acme Fresh Market is sponsoring a contest for local artists, with the chance for students to win up to $500 for their school's art program! Don Drumm created a black and white line drawing exclusively for Acme Fresh Market, and Acme Fresh Market used the drawing to create a designer, reusable bag on material that can be "made beautiful" using crayons, markers, paint or whatever the artist dreams up!
Artists up through grade 12 are invited to make the bag beautiful, and enter their design into a contest with the opportunity to win up to $500 for their school's art program. To enter, students submit a photo of their completed work to www.acmestores.com/DonDrumm. Winners will be selected by popular vote, and the entire community is invited to view the gallery and vote at www.acmestores.com/DonDrumm. The "Make Me Beautiful" bag is available exclusively at all Acme Fresh Market locations beginning August 21, while supplies last!
Where did Acme Fresh Market come up with the idea for the "Make Me Beautiful" contest? "Acme Fresh Market is a local grocery company – we live in this community and by talking to our customers daily in the stores, we have a great sense of what our customers like and we work very hard to make sure we provide that. One thing our customers love is designer, reusable Don Drumm bags, and we saw the opportunity to delight our customers by giving them a chance to create their own masterpiece, starting from a Don Drumm design." Jim Trout, President of Acme Fresh Market explained.
The idea evolved from there to become a contest to support the local arts. "With school starting just when the bag is released, the "Make Me Beautiful" contest is a great way for Acme Fresh Market to support local arts and local schools by giving back to school art programs." Katie Swartz, Director of Marketing stated.
There will be a total of six prizes awarded directly to the school art program of the winner's choice - first, second and third prize in two age groups. First prize is $500, and second prize and third prize are $250 each – with prize money going directly to the school art program of the winner's choice. Artists may enter in two age groups – 6th grade or lower, or 7th through 12th grade. Entrants must designate the school that the prize money will be awarded to at the time they submit their entry.
To enter or to view the gallery and vote on your favorite bag, visit www.acmestores.com/DonDrumm. Entries will be accepted from August 21 through September 30. Voting begins August 21 and closes at midnight on Friday, October 10. Individuals can vote one time per day per design during the voting period.

TO have lived with H.I.V. for a decade or more is to have died with it many times over.
First came the assumption of imminent death, common to just about everyone who got the diagnosis before the mid-1990's. Wills were hastily written. Credit card debts ran up, and long-term plans were forgotten.
Then came the burying of friends, sometimes dozens, sometimes at a funeral a month. Those who were infected sat in support groups, on buses, at dinners, staring at those who were sicker, frantically trying to recall when the other person took that crucial turn for the worse, wondering how far away it was for them.
There were the near deaths, as medical developments raced to keep up with the progression of their illness. Some were ready to die, sick and exhausted from treatments, strict pill regimens and side effects as well as myriad hospital visits.
But those same people who were infected in the 80's and are alive today have slowly watched death skulk from their doorsteps. They grieve at far fewer funerals. They have walked away from wheelchairs and beds to return to work, attend school, have babies, counsel others, go to church, take vacations and send to college the children they never expected to see grow up.
Lee Chew, who received his diagnosis of H.I.V. in 1987, noticed the transition in 1997, a year after he became paralyzed and was close to death with full-blown AIDS. It dawned on him that he had not been in the hospital for more than a year. ''You started to think the wolf was no longer at the door,'' he said recently. ''He may be down the street now, or maybe he is in the next town. But he isn't coming for me.''Continue reading the main story
People like Mr. Chew are living on the other end of an incredible medical journey that has surprised even the most experienced scientists and health workers. Antiviral drugs -- mainly the protease inhibitors introduced in the mid-90's -- have proved to be more effective than doctors and patients had dared to hope. And while they are expensive, they are also widely available, thanks to clinics and government subsidies.
''We have shifted from a clinic that was largely devoted to preparing patients to die to one that prepares people to live,'' said Dr. John G. Bartlett, the director of AIDS services at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore. ''It is the biggest change in a disease I have witnessed in 30 years of doing infectious diseases.''
Of course, plenty of people are still getting the virus. Doctors are alarmed by the increase in unsafe sex among young gay men who may be lulled into thinking the virus is no longer deadly. Among many groups, however, the principal mode of transmission has shifted from sex to contaminated drug needles.
As the face of AIDS has changed, the need for services for the infected is greater than it was 10 years ago. Dennis Snyder, who volunteers at an AIDS service center in rural Pennsylvania, has watched the center's demographics shift from young, male and white to mostly black and Hispanic since he started volunteering in 1994. Many clients are women, some recently released from prison. (Nationwide, the percentage of women among people with AIDS has more than tripled since the epidemic's beginnings, to 23 percent in 1998 from 7 percent in 1985.) Almost all are poor.
''When AIDS first came around, it was guys who needed a support group, information about vitamins, things like that,'' Mr. Snyder said. ''Now we are dealing with issues of poverty.''
And despite the medical advances, many people still die of complications from AIDS -- mainly those who seek treatment too late, and those who develop resistance to the newest drugs. The virus still devastates many parts of the world, most notably sub-Saharan Africa, where drugs have been unavailable or have been prohibitively expensive, and prevention efforts are stymied. Further, many of the wonder drugs that made researchers hopeful just a few years ago have turned out, for some people, to have perilous and even lethal side effects.
But many people who have had H.I.V. for many years have found their lives twisting unexpectedly toward something other than sure and fast demise. The ride has been more complicated than they ever imagined.
From the Wheelchair to the Gym
Lee Chew, 51, started to have vague notions about the so-called gay cancer in 1982, when he was starting his acting career in traveling shows. ''I didn't smoke, I didn't do drugs, I had never had a sexually transmitted disease,'' was his reasoning at the time. ''I tried to look for ways that I was out of the loop'' of contracting AIDS. Nonetheless, he decided it was time to settle down.
In 1984, touring in the show ''Woman of the Year'' with Barbara Eden, he met Howard Crabtree, a costume designer and a co-author of several Off Broadway musicals, and they fell in love. They moved in together two months later.
In 1985, the two decided to get H.I.V. tests. Mr. Chew was negative. Mr. Crabtree was not. The doctor who informed them of their results did not talk to them about safe sex, and he certainly did not talk about AZT because there was no such thing. ''A lot of people didn't even want the news because there was nothing that could be done,'' Mr. Chew said.
He decided to stick it out with his partner. ''I guess I had a Romeo-and-Juliet sort of fantasy,'' he said. ''We were cursed and we would die together.'' But in 1987, the relationship soured, and that August, Mr. Chew went for another test. This time, the results were positive.
The day he received the diagnosis, he went to a support group, ''just to prove to myself that I hadn't died.'' With no drugs in sight, the formerly apolitical Mr. Chew found himself involved in the protest group Act Up, and was arrested two months after his diagnosis at a protest in Washington. ''I don't think I would have bothered if I had not been H.I.V.-positive,'' he said. ''But I had nothing left to lose.''
For several years, his health remained good, and his career continued to flourish. Off Broadway and traveling productions beckoned. In 1988, he went on AZT. But all around him, the grim certainty of his future was evident. People came to support groups 10 pounds thinner than the week before. Then they did not come back at all. Among those to die were his own doctor, whose death and H.I.V. status Mr. Chew learned from an obituary.
In 1994, Mr. Chew learned that his T-cell count had dipped below 200, heralding the arrival of AIDS. In 1996, he started to get pneumonia and other constant infections. He was in the hospital four times that year. In 1996, he had to leave a production of ''The Front Page'' in Cleveland, marking the end of his career. Then he learned something else: Mr. Crabtree was dead.
At the same time, a series of new drugs he was taking caused nerve damage to most of his body, and he had to get a wheelchair. ''I felt it was unstoppable,'' he said. ''I had no illusions. I started to wrap things up. I thought it was O.K., because I had so many friends in heaven or hell. You get a little attached to dead people.''
He went to Madison, Wis., to be with his sister, and half expected never to leave the hospital there. But somehow he fought off yet another bout of pneumonia and came home to New York.
That May, he started a new drug regime, which slowly turned his life around. With the introduction of Crixivan, he watched his body repair itself. Out of the wheelchair and to a cane. From a cane to a bicycle. And then he was back in the gym. He has not had an AIDS-related infection since late 1996. Two years ago, he began graduate school at New York University, studying social work.
His AIDS activism has fallen away, and he said he goes to far fewer support groups. ''I don't want to obscure the fact that there are people who took Crixivan and threw it up,'' he said. ''That there are people who are dying of AIDS while we sit here.''
But AIDS is taking up a smaller and smaller part of his identity. ''I have given myself permission to pull away,'' he said.
Mr. Chew recently got a tattoo -- a red cross in a circle, signifying his illness -- on his back. ''For 13 years, so much of my life has been focused on H.I.V.,'' he said. ''But this is on my back, because I wanted it to be behind me.''
Between Sadness and Relief
If Thomas K. Duane were in any other profession, his H.I.V. might never have been known to anyone, including his own family. Although it was diagnosed in 1988, and he thinks he was infected long before that, he has never had a single related infection. His medicine chest is not bursting -- he takes pills only to prevent herpes. A big health problem, he concedes, is keeping weight off.
But Mr. Duane, who is a 45-year-old New York state senator, first revealed to the world that he was infected when he was seeking a spot on the New York City Council in 1991. Guided by a politician in Minneapolis who had revealed his H.I.V.-positive status to constituents in a letter, Mr. Duane's campaign team mailed letters to 40,000 households, saying that as a candidate for public office, ''I believe in being candid.''
His campaign manager was horrified, as were several friends, but he won that race. In an odd way, AIDS had been part of Mr. Duane's political life long before he got the diagnosis. He was politically active, both as a rising star in local Democratic circles and among his many friends who had become sick. He, too, joined Act Up.
But he never got sick himself, which has puzzled him and made him take stock of his life -- not because it is about to end, but because it apparently is not.
''I am pulling out of a period of profound sadness,'' Mr. Duane said, recalling the deaths of dozens of friends, three of his closest in recent years. His father died in 1995, two months after a younger brother died suddenly of a brain tumor. ''I always thought I would get sick,'' he said, ''and get to spend time with them because I would no longer be able to work.''
Asked how his life has changed most since his H.I.V. was diagnosed, Mr. Duane squeezed his eyes shut and kept them that way for a minute. ''I think there is still an umbrella of anger about H.I.V. because it has taken so many people away from me,'' he said finally. ''I have so many sad memories. But I am happy I have lived long enough to develop a spiritual life, and I am not sure I would have without H.I.V. I would not have said that two years ago.
''Sometimes, when I am in the Senate chamber, which is this very beautiful place, I think, 'You people have no idea what I have gone through and what my life is like,' and I am so much more fortunate than other people. But I do think H.I.V. makes me feel a little bit separate because the sadness has been so profound and the fear so tremendous.''
Still Sick, but 'Still Here'
The sun was bright and strong, as it often is in Fort Worth, when Ruth Jimenez drove home from the post office that morning in September 1986. Stopped by a train at a railroad crossing, she decided to open the registered letter she had just picked up. Never, ever would she have guessed that it was informing her that she was infected with H.I.V.
''I just lost it,'' remembered Ms. Jimenez, who is 46. ''I could not even to this day tell you how I got home.''
She had had an operation to remove part of her kidney the year before, and in gratitude for the blood she had received, decided to give some back. It was through the blood center that she learned the awful news. A divorced mother of four, she immediately set up a guardianship for her youngest. ''I thought I would be dead inside a couple of months.''
As a licensed vocational nurse, she had seen a smattering of young white men with weeks to live come into the hospital where she worked. She quickly devised a plan, based on her scant understanding of the disease. ''I quit smoking because I knew pneumonia,'' she said. ''I didn't have any more relationships. I was bound and determined I was going to survive to see my youngest graduate from high school. I always had the sense of waiting for the other shoe to drop.''
In 1989, she moved her family to a small town in west Texas, trying to remove the stress of the big city from her life. She remained healthy and working, and told almost no one about her illness. But in 1991, it became unavoidable. Constant battles with the flu weakened her, and she often had to crawl to the bathroom. The nearest AIDS clinic was in Abilene, more than an hour away. She had no help outside her home, and no encouragement to look for any.
''We were living in a little tiny town,'' Ms. Jimenez said. At the Abilene clinic one day, she was asked if her children had shared the news about their mom. When she asked why, workers said, ''Because we have been getting calls from people in your town saying they know someone there has AIDS, and they are going to bomb the place unless we tell them who it is.''
Desperate for support and deeply religious, she decided to turn to her pastor after services that Sunday. But first she sat through the homily. ''During the service, he said that everyone who had AIDS deserved to have it, and he hoped they died soon,'' she said. ''I thought, 'This is the person I was going to put my child's welfare in.' You expect stupidity from people, but not your clergyman.''
Her health worsened. Doctors advised her to return to Fort Worth to take advantage of more resources, and to make the most of her time with her children. By then, she was sick so often she was fired from her job. ''I was pretty well whipped,'' she said. ''I had no hope. I didn't want to fight anymore.''
In Fort Worth, the AIDS clinic where she sought treatment required that she attend a support group for women. ''I thought it was a waste of time,'' she said. There she met women who were in the same boat. One in particular, Katherine, pushed her to speak to school groups and others about her experience, both to help others and to keep her going. ''She said, 'You need to get your back up and fight for your baby.' Her attitude was so different from mine.''
Her drug treatments have not been as successful. ''I have now been on every combination of drugs that they have,'' Ms. Jimenez said. Last November, her doctor explained that she was resistant to almost every therapy. She is not taking any medicines now. And though her T-cell count and viral load are in good shape, most experts say that these levels cannot be sustained without drugs.
''I think it is because I am trying to keep my stress levels down,'' she said. ''My attitude has changed so much since 1994. It has been worth it. I am here. My youngest is graduating, and I am still here.''Continue reading the main story

Broken City had a pretty interesting trailer. The movie I was sold on was a crime thriller with a corrupt mayor taking advantage of a working class guy. What I actually got was about 20 minutes of that and another 80 minutes of bloat.
Broken City is about a former cop who gets caught up in a scandal with the mayor of New York during election season. At least that's what I think it was about. This movie jumped around so much it was difficult to give an accurate description. The main plot involves Mark Wahlberg as Billy Taggart, a former Police Officer who now works as a private investigator. There's a subplot with his girlfriend (Fiance? Wife? It's unclear) that goes nowhere, there's a subplot involving the reason Taggart left the police force that is not as interesting as I hoped it would be, and about three other subplots that are just as convoluted. I feel like I needed a score card to keep track of all the players and their motivations.
Mark Wahlberg is an actor who works for me about half the time. I think he can be funny, charismatic and a fine actor. However, in Broken City he's such a non entity. The character has no real defining traits except that old cliche of a drinking problem. He's an extremely passive character who just keeps having things happen around him. Wahlberg is barely acting in this movie and it shows, I never cared about his character and I checked my watch more than once just hoping the movie was almost over.
If you had told me three months ago that Russell Crowe would be in a crime thriller, a big budget musical, and a Kung Fu movie, I would not have guessed that I would most enjoy him in the Kung Fu movie. He plays the slimy mayor of New York City who will do just about anything to keep his seat. First of all Crowe's New York accent is distractingly terrible. And then there's the fact that I never once believed he was a real person. He's basically playing every corrupt politician you've ever seen in any media ever.
Basically, if you are at all interested in seeing Broken City, just wait until it comes out on DVD. There's absolutely no reason to see it in theaters. It's dull, it's ugly to look at, there are no interesting characters and I just didn't have any fun watching it.

*Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey circus ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson recently called their new show, Out of this World, "the greatest show on earth." If that sounds like a tag line, it is, and they've been using it for decades.
Sometimes, though, there's actual truth in advertising. And the tag line is absolutely apt in this case. The circus' new production completely blew my mind. Ringling Bros has put together an amazing show for kids of ALL ages.
"With this new show," Iverson said by phone, "we still have the world's greatest menagerie — lions and tigers, rescue dogs, horses, donkeys, kangaroos, llamas, pigs…"
Let's talk about those pigs. Having grown up in Detroit, I didn't know pigs were so big. They're "huge dog" big. Hell, they're "small car" big!
And let's talk about the lions and tigers. That part of the show was one of the moments when I was really afraid. I was certain that the cats' trainer, Alexander, was going to get mauled for all to see. One of the felines, Susie, wasn't in the best of moods during the performance and challenged Alexander more than a few times. She was absolutely not feeling Alex. Every time she growled with that mouth full of deadly incisors or raised her immense paw to the trainer's head, I was frozen in my seat.
Speaking of being frozen, only Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey could bring a snowstorm and snowball fight to a hot late summer night in Sacramento, California. During that segment of the show, the visuals are so realistic you'll believe the venue has bumped the AC up. And ONLY Ringling Bros could set the ice on fire — literally!
And let's talk about another petrifying part of the show: those horsemen and women, riding quickly around a tight circle as they rotated over and under the galloping horses! They could have easily been trampled.
The trapeze artists! Yes, there was a net, but they were WAY up there!
Seven motorcyclists, riding their bikes inside a single small sphere! An accident waiting to happen!
OUT OF THIS WORLD is a dizzying, almost disorienting, and yes, death defying array of attractions. I couldn't figure out where to look, because there was something amazing going on everywhere.
And that was all before the intermission.
Just when I was sure Ringling Bros had exhausted their bag of tricks and used every possible platform, two performers walked on the ceiling. Like "Lionel-Richie-walked-on-the-ceiling." Then, they topped that: they moonwalked. Across. The. Ceiling — while playing Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean," no less.
There was a basketball game — with the players on unicycles! People bouncing off of trampolines through hoops — on ice skates! Jaws even showed up! Yes, Jaws the shark, along with the classic John Williams theme!
Out Of This World includes a fun narrative to keep the really little kids entertained. I don't want to give anything away, but there's nothing too scary, there are recurring clowns to help keep things light, and, as in any good family story, it all turns out fine in the end.
Recently, I wistfully said goodbye to the NBC summer program America's Got Talent. I'd come to believe that the ofttimes-thrilling program is the closest we have to circus-type entertainment. Well, let me tell you something: I don't care how big your flat screen is, or how high its definition is, you have NEVER seen anything like Out Of This World.
Iverson was right, as have been the generations of circus folks who have proceeded him: it's THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH. Go, and take your kids. Or your spouse. Or your parents. Or just go by your damn self! Just GO!
Tickets and information for Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey's OUT OF THIS WORLD are available at ringling.com and ticketmaster.com.
Freelancer Michael P Coleman sometimes wishes he'd run away and joined the circus. Connect with him at michaelpcoleman.com or on Twitter: @ColemanMichaelP

POLICE are appealing for the public's help in tracing a man from Tenbury Wells who has been missing for two weeks.
Glyn Morris, aged 57, of Berrington Road, was last seen on Monday, August 19, by his brother, with whom he lives, when Glyn left their home saying he was going to workplace training.
He has not been seen since and his brother reported him as missing yesterday. Checks with the local Job Centre show no training was scheduled and they had not seen him since July.
Inspector Phillip Norbury, who is leading the search, said: "Glyn Morris is a well-known face around Tenbury and many people would recognise him if they see him.
"We are worried about Glyn because his disappearance is very out of character: he doesn't stray far from home other than the local shops in Tenbury and has a set daily routine.
"He lives without many of the acquirements of a modern lifestyle that help us trace missing people. He has no mobile phone, no active bank accounts, no computer, no email and no social media accounts. He has no car and he cycles to get around, but has left his bike at home.
"This means we are relying very much on the public to let us know if they have seen Glyn over the past fortnight, especially in recent days. He may have travelled from Tenbury into nearby towns and cities, such as Ludlow, Leominster, Kidderminster, Worcester and Hereford."
Mr Morris is white, around 5ft 8ins tall, skinny, has grey eyes, collar-length hair and a beard. When last seen he was wearing a black fleece jacket and possibly a green woolly hat.
If anyone has any information on Glyn Morris's whereabouts, they are asked to contact West Mercia Police on number 101, or information can be passed on anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Please quote reference number 0248s 05/09/13.

Notting Hill hasn't always been one of London's most exclusive residential districts - back in the 1980s it was a largely run down area. It underwent somewhat of a renaissance towards the end of the 80s and throughout the 90s. Today, Notting Hill's spacious town houses are the subject of huge demand - it's a highly desirable area for people to live in and as a result property prices have increased exponentially over the last 20-30 years.
During the revival of Notting Hill's property market a lot of the old Victorian houses were renovated - some were kept as large homes whilst others have been split into fashionable apartment blocks. No matter how big or how small you require your property to be, you'll be able to find exactly what you're looking for in Notting Hill, that's for sure!
Notting Hill is famous for its annual carnival - an event that has been held every year since 1965. It's also famous for the Portobello Road market - another London institution. Notting Hill is a melting pot for cultures and ways of life - it's a fantastic place to live and work.
As is the case with all of London's most exclusive districts, Notting Hill is home to lots of fine shops and high-end restaurants and clubs. There's so much to do and so much to see in the area that you'll never tire of living there. If you ever find yourself at a loose end then a short underground or bus journey delivers you directly to the City of London and the attractions on offer there.
Located at 301 Westbourne Grove, W11 2QA. Our office is within easy reach from Notting Hill Gate and Ladbroke Grove underground stations and is on the bus route for the 52, 452 and 23 buses.
Notting Hill's Sales and Lettings Team have been in place for sometime, with over 50 years Estate Agency experience between them.
We cover an expanse of area between Holland Park through to Notting Hill Gate, areas of Paddington and up on through to W10.

Panasonic Toughbook(TM) Brings Configuration Management Solution Nearer to Home
SINGAPORE - Panasonic, an industry leader in rugged, reliable mobile computers since 1996, today announced the launch of its new configuration center. Located in Johor, Malaysia, the Panasonic Toughbook(TM) facility is intended to serve the ASEAN region, focusing on Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Philippines.
With the configuration center having local buffer stock and equipped with implementation support, customers can expect shorter lead times for customized order fulfillment. Within the next few years, the configuration center will also serve as a regional service center; for example, for one-to-one swaps, customers can expect to receive their devices within two working days. End users can also arrange delivery of products that require implementation support, directly to training sites, as well as on specific days.
"The demand of rugged mobile computers - tablets, notebooks and handheld computers - is expected to grow, with strong interest in this region from firms in the defence and retail industries. The launch of the configuration center in Johor serves as a testament to our commitment to the region. Here at Panasonic Toughbook(TM), we are committed to ensuring our processes are optimised and that our customers are able to experience a reduction in the total cost of ownership of their business laptops and handheld devices," said Mr Soh Peng Kiat, General Manager of Toughbook Solutions Team, ASEAN.
Ensuring that customers have the best post-purchase support is important to Panasonic Toughbook(TM). The opening of the facility will ensure that Panasonic Toughbook(TM) maintains an intimate relationship with its customers, understanding their needs and increasing their satisfaction, while enabling further growth opportunities in ASEAN.
This is especially important, considering the growth potential of Southeast Asia. According to VDC Research, the rugged notebook opportunity in Southeast Asia is forecasted to grow to US$48.3 million by 2018, with demand concentrated in emerging markets such as Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Philippines.
Panasonic Toughbook(TM) recognizes that across their various focus verticals - defense, retail, transport and logistics and manufacturing - there is an increasing demand for employees to be able to work on the go, and to be able to access documents in a seamless, fuss-free manner. Panasonic Toughbook(TM) is committed to being an enabler in enterprise mobility, allowing businesses to empower their workforce and to keep their businesses relevant.
Located within an existing manufacturing plant of Panasonic, the facility is a forty-five minute drive away from Panasonic System Solutions Asia Pacific's ASEAN and ANZ headquarters in Singapore.
About Panasonic Toughbook(TM)

Engineered to perform, the Toughbook(TM) series is the tool of choice for highly mobile workers who execute mission-critical tasks which require enhanced security, advanced device management and superior connectivity. Whether it's a government looking to stop illegal logging in a rainforest, or a hospital that needs to improve the accuracy of information being captured at the point of care or even an enterprise where service advisors need access to information in the field, more and more organizations are turning to Panasonic to create a truly mobile enterprise.
