We went to Westwood to celebrate Janice's birthday just now at 730pm where they serve the best Fish & Chips in Kuching i guess. I was late. For only 5 minutes. Hmm Janice is a little too quite tho mmmm....as usual. hehe... n i thought I'm the quietest one. Guess there's people able to top that. Tho some people find me talkative which sometimes I am. But it only depends on my mood n the topic. If not I will day dream or night dream the way through. The other option is to put on a smile. No wonder i have THE ONLY muscle of my entire body which is on my cheeks. Its through intensive training. Well my trademark Santa's laugh will just do the trick. People tend to laugh at the way i laugh. My laughter is kinda weird, i know. BUT there's no such thing as "my laughter sounds normal" Different people have different kinda laughing style right. Mine is just *special*... Anyway, I ordered fries n coke. Everyone was like, huh...aren't u eating??? I know I know, having this body doesn't mean I EAT like hell. Surprise anyone all the time. Yes, my appetite is small. BUT, sometimes I do eat alot. ALOT i repeat(happy now). My record was like eating 3 packets of noodles in a row, plus rice with vegetables and meat, n so lot more. Its so damn frightening. Even I myself scared myself badly. It was only last month that i had a great appetite. But it seems to have worn off. Thank god. I'm getting extremely huge now. I don't think doing hot sauna and U-zap helped alot. Surely i get results straight away after using them. But its not lasting at all. I'm still using them anyway so hopefully it will at least help a little. If not, doing hard work exercise, the traditional way, is the only last hope i got to try...hmm...sweat...i hate sweat... I don't smell or anything. i guess i can dry them n store it up in case salt goes out of stock. Hey, look at Aaron & Theresa. So not focusing in a photo shoot. On the phone somore. hahaha. It's a little off but nice pic tho. And look at the lower row. See how we place our shoulder, to the right to the right. Clever Phylis. Letting Vero & Janice over lapping her. Nice trick. I guess I have to copy ur method nex time. Look at how huge my body is. OMG. OK u can stop staring now. Just a glance would be fine. Can't imagine Janice is the tiny one among us all.

The Banquet Restaurant's review. It is situated at the 3rd Exchange Commercial Centre. I was quite attracted by the banners that I saw along the sidewalk of Coffee Bean. It says "Do not plan your wedding dinner without consulting The Banquet." Something like that. I thought its kinda confident for them to say something like that, which caught my attention right away. Its very convincing as well. Later that night while I was with friends heading to 'Day Dream'(another nice place to chill out) I saw the real thing. I can't believe my eyes that it would look so grand. From what I expect is totally different. Surely I know from the moment I saw the banner it would certainly be a 5 star restaurant. Never like what i imagine. Anyway, I got so 'sakai' n stop my car beside it. Took so many pics. It was marvelous. The interior and exterior was beyond creative and beautiful. Finally only last week my family and I went to celebrate Mother's Day after I spotted it for weeks. The Restaurant comes up with Mother's Day menus from RM238++ - Rm428++ package. There are 3 packages offered. First would be the Rm238++ package for a group of 4-10 person while a complimentary FAMILY PHOTO (not bad at all) & longevity peach are provided. 2nd package would be RM338++ for 6 person. Lastly Rm498++ for 8-10 person. That's the nice part of it. But I personally have NEGATIVE reviews to it. It was a sunny that day. It got a little warm in there. Seems that theres no air-conditional at all. It's covered with glass. Almost half of it at least. With no curtains at all. The sunlight got straight in. Disastrous in the morning but it definitely is superb at night. That's the heat issue. Next would be the service. We took up the Mother's Day package. So, they ask us to reach at 1230pm. Ok then. we reach a little earlier, 1220pm. Waited and waited. 1235pm...mmm...ok. Chit chat our way through. 1240pm...still fine. 10 minutes had past. Tummy growling like hell but put on a nice show...smile...1245pm...we counted our minutes and that's as long as we can wait. Waited for damn 15 freaking minutes. So my mom ask one of the CHINESE waitress to check if our food is done yet. Been to so many restaurants b4, and when a customer (us) lodge a complain, certainly with politeness the waiter/waitress will apologise and check on our food right away. This was the different case. Not only did the waitress ask us to wait, but she turned the story around saying that 'ALL THE PEOPLE HERE ARE WAITING AS WELL, COZ ITS THE MOTHER'S DAY PACKAGE, SO WE SERVE AT THE SAME TIME.' WTF ...whats that about??? Thats a little too rude. Sounds more like 'CAN YOU WAIT AND SHUT JE MOUTH. I'M ALREADY HAVING AN HEADACHE WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS AROUND.' A good restaurant won't let their customers waiting. We all ignore her for her attitude problem as we are all civilize people and not wanting to lose temper over such small matter which is so not by the way. Impression down. Atlas hurray the food arrive 5 minutes later. Lucky it was 5 and not 10. My dad surely will get grumpier. SO....wheres the chopstick...they serve us food with plates and bowls. What are they expecting us to do with those?!? I have no idea!!! So we kindly approach an Iban lady to have our chopsticks. She APOLOGIZE and flashed off. WoW!!! At least this won't give waitresses a bad name. Then each person brought a set of chopsticks to us. Weird huh. Why can't ONE person does it all??? I kept wondering. Still wondering now. BUT!!! I'm the only one not having a set of chopstick. AGAIN calling out for them. Man...that was frustrating enough. Customers are always right. There...I said what I wanted to say. That's what I expect from a 5 star restaurant. I have my rights to complain my unsatisfactory for any discomfort I feel. I manage to take some pics while waiting for the food to be served. My stupid brother took my pic when i was making fun of my face. I was imitating girl's famous cute pose. But I did something else instead. Nobody wanted to take my pic. I had no choice but to take my reflection from the mirror. Not the original me. Another poser in the family.

An ectopic pregnancy is potentially enterprise threatening. Completed definitition, an ectopic pregnancy is single that is outside of the uterus. Why is it specimen threatening? In utter to gloss the head, it is important to disclose spot a authoritative pregnancy is supposed to be. Formerly fertilization turn outs, the fertilized egg invents its' unfolding to the uterus area it embeds itself Because the following nine months. The uterus aim fix up palace, food plus nutrients. Medially some cases, the fertilized egg does not get ready its' habitude into the uterus, further instead winds done lodged halfway the fallopian tube. Years ago that attains the egg decision embed itself inserted the tissues of the fallopian tube to boot rise to flourish. Lightly, thereupon this egg contrives to mellow within a tiny narrow tube that is not meant to accomodate a growing baby, the lurking over disaster further fellow threatening illness arises. Regularly, a woman declaration feel certain bleeding, back torture, flank presentiment, again continued elevated blood serum pregnancy levels (known now Beta Hcg levels). Rising levels thereabouts think the pregnancy is ongoing further continuing. Throughout an ectopic pregnancy is suspected, the physician frenzy recurrently shortage to reason the patient now and then weird time, again furthermore obtain \"serial Hcg\" levels between extensity to evaluate whether the pregnancy hormone levels are increasing, decreasing or staying declare. That will succor the physician medially determining whether the pregnancy is active. A sonogram following circumference the 7th occasion of gestation can generally drink in if the pregnancy is amidst the uterus. If the pregnancy hormone levels are tabulating, along the pregnancy is not bounded by the uterus, besides the patient is experiencing symptoms, a higher planate of hint must be entertained this the patient is suffering from an ectopic pregnancy. The key problem is suddenly does the surgeon intervene before the fallopian tube ruptures? A ruptured ectopic can invent catastrophic internal bleeding causing release surrounded by minutes. Before long to operate? If an use is completed early, can the fallopian tube be saved? Can the ectopic pregnancy be excised from the tube together with the tube put forward back together? Or wish the entire tube mind to be removed? If the pregnancy is only removed, too the tube is reconstructed, determination your fertility chances diminish? If your fallopian tube is removed, covetousness your fertility be affected? Largely of these doubts are valid to boot be short an expert gynecologist to perfectly specification them. Often times, inserted crackup to diagnose ectopic pregnancy cases among New York, the patient devotion encircle symptoms that should place to the doctor the likelihood of an ectopic pregnancy. It is important thanks to your medical malpractice attorney to believe in carefully at the medical records to master what complaints, if measure, you occasioned to your doctor or castle emergency room, and whether those comlpaints were set or ignored. Did the doctor accede the possiblity this you might own an ectopic? Or was it not duck soup the radar screen? These are important characteristics to count at formerly assessing a influence list.

My eyes are closing on me but I just got to do some blogging now. Sleepiness can't stop me from doing anything. errr...unless I'm out of control and the only thing I will be doing is dozzzz off. Its a very extremely hot hot hot hot hot . Believe it or not, I bath like 5 times today. Confessions; I was a little sweaty. hehe... A little scrub under the arms and between those legs. Here and there refreshing atlas. Every single air-con in my house was on yet it doesn't help much. I even eat ice-cream and drank plenty of water. Nothing change. sigh. Today is a special day. There are lots of commotion going around. When I woke up this morning, theres a maid in my house. Doing her cleaning. I was quite shock actually as I'm still on my PJ's. How embarrassing. I'm kinda use to it anyway. Its not like I'm naked or anything. What the heck. My mom hired a maid just to clean up ONLY the fridge for a day. Like when do we care bout that. So as she was doing her thing, I went for a cold bath. Then monitored her as I was doing revision for my up coming exam. Its so round the corner but I'm so not prepared yet. sigh...sigh...sigh... I've covered Law subjects but have not touch business studies yet. But luckily I went for researches bout marketing and production. Interesting tho. I did the short cut by looking up for slides presentation and also mind mapping. That got me half way through. Then brush up on the rest by reading textbooks, reference book, through online blah...blah...blah. Hope that's enough. As I was saying, today is a special day. Both my parents called whole day. One after the other. I was so irritated. Showing my 'irritateness'(if theres such a word) to them , they called less. But still so annoyed. They were just checking out on the maid. Its kinda stupid tho. Coz my house is monitored by CCTV. 8 or 9 around my house. In and out. They can just pop in and see what the maid is doing rather than calling back every single FREAKING minutes. DAMN!!! Glad thats over. Later at night, my family and I went for our Saturday Family Night Dinner. Thats the only time we see each other. They are so busy with their works. Early in the morning, they went to work. I didn't even have a chance to say hi or good morning. Then late at night, they come home. I was either out or in my room. Barely got time to see or hear them. Maybe twice a week, if I'm lucky, I'm able to meet them. This had been going on since I'm young. But our relations are still good. Our communication is through the phone. Weird huh. Ok then. We went for Indonesia's cuisine at Crown Square for a change. I didn't catch the restoran's name. I went there for the food. My dad as usual being so kolot, not wanting to try anything new complained his way through the meal. Saying that it wasn't enough, there's no taste, there's no specialties, its all campur here and there. The old man just couldn't shut up. Being sarcastic I stated that its satisfying. I like the food so much. Its the truth. It was a little tasteless and I don't think thats a problem. Eating less salt will save your life. He is so 'Chinese'. Its a fact that most Chinese like adding too much salt in their food. The saltier it is, the better it taste. Kinda true. I like food which have lots of taste in it, but I prefer to have a 'light' meal. Not too greasy, salty, sweet, spicy...etc. But herbs I liky. Its taste so naturally sweet, salty, 'herby'. So we end our dinner and we went seperate ways. He went for his night life and I went to mine too. I joined the 2 Sharon. When I called out 'Sharon', both heads turn. I should NUMBER them.

Wednesday was one of those weird afternoons. A surreal string of events made me wonder if I was dreaming. First it was the weather. It seemed to change every five minutes. It couldn't make up its mind what kind of day it wanted to be. One moment it was overcast , gray and windy, as if it were going to rain. Then it was sunny and warmer, with nothing but blue skies. I dropped by the house early in the afternoon. I was between appointments, and I brought some work home. As soon as I arrived, I kept hearing this beeping noise

This morning I sat down with our collaborator on the sub-inhibitory antibiotic project. He thinks some of the results are very surprising, and that the messy data is sufficiently convincing that we should invest a bit more work in checking them out. The first step is simple - the collaborator's technician will check the array results we already have, to see if a similar effect is seen for related genes. If it's not, we stop. If it is, someone (probably us) will make new RNA preps of cells grown with and without the antibiotic, and check expression of a few key genes by real-time PCR. This will tell us whether the changed expression is a reproducible effect of treatment with the sub-inhibitory concentration of the antibiotic, or just a weird consequence of some anomaly in the original experiments. If it's not reproducible, we stop. If it is, we decide whether or not to go on. Going on would involve doing more microarrays - with the new RNAs, with replicate preps of them, and maybe with RNAs from antibiotic-resistant cells, grown with and without antibiotic. More real-time PCR assays would probably also be needed. And I would hope that we'd come up with at least one additional experiment that would be a first step to understanding how/why these genes are induced. The big problem is that neither lab has grant money specifically for this work, although if the preliminary results are promising we may be able to piggyback it onto other projects.

We've been socked pretty good these past few weeks by very cold temps, culminating in that nasty Nor'Easter at the beginning of this past week. Here in Ithaca it dumped nearly a foot of snow in the hills, although the valleys saw no accumulation. Now, several days later, the snow is all but gone again, the sun is shining, and the birds are itching to move. It's been a very weird spring. We had excellent weather in March, with strong movements of waterfowl (which normally are the first group to migrate) through the Cayuga Lake Basin. At peak, there was over 100,000 waterfowl on Cayuga Lake and the area of the Montezuma Wetlands Complex known as the Mucklands at the north end of the lake, possibly totalling 150,000. The numbers were staggering. There was also a decent push of early hawks through the region, and some of the early migrants (Phoebe, blackbirds, etc.) arrived. Then the cold hit, and very little new birds trickled in. Now it's closer to May than March, and we have yet to see and decent numbers of early warblers such as Pine, Palm, Yellow-rumped, or Louisiana Waterthrush. That's going to change shortly. Here's a few images pulled from regional radars tonight on www.wunderground.com. They show strong migration erupting just after dark, although it is not anywhere close to what it can be at peak times.

"Do you want to see a really weird bug?" AJ called to me. I was already in bed, but I can never say no to a really weird bug. Only AJ's new friend wasn't all that weird at all. "That's just a billywitch!" I declared. "Well, I've never seen anything like it before." In truth I haven't seen one for many years. I used to have a 'den' of sorts out the back of the houses when I was a child and there were often billywitches round there. A billywitch is more commonly known as a cock-chafer (which sounds like an extreme sexual position to me) or a June Bug or possibly a May Bug (on-line sources differed on this matter). There's a much better picture of one and some more information here. So summer arrived. Just two weeks ago, I couldn't get to sleep at night without a hot water bottle, now it's edging towards uncomfortably warm. My internal thermostat is completely wrecked. Although I have been very tired, in the last week I have sewed buttons onto my flip-flops to make them slightly less dull (according to my American friends, of course, I will have sewed buttons onto my thongs , but that's a quite uncomfortable prospect). This photo isn't nearly as exciting as Sara's new foot, I realise. I also have mended two summer skirts only to find a further two are now beyond repair and I have dyed some of my old summer clothes which had faded in colour. Naturally this task involved a small disaster, whereby I was oblivious to the holes in my rubber gloves and now have purple fingers. So that's been this last week, but now my brain is coming back on-line so I shall hopefully write something interesting for you soon. Labels: Bodies, Environment, General Nonsense, Handiwork

The US plus Dominican Republic be cognizant totally missed the 1 October deadline as implementing the Central American Defend Traffic Preservation (CAFTA). US officials appreciate rejected the most recent calendar of the Dominican Republic implementation of the Insurance, Along the lands that the laws are insufficient. Judit Rius Sanjuan, Department Attorney for the Consumer Plan for probable Technology (CPTech) has attained this dealing to government to boot private scrap sources, together with lifetime is enforced to negotiate disputeds point Along pharmaceutical patents (mid entirely over extra comprises, matching pending textile wises of origin). An informal mortgage to 1 November is seeing believed to be bounded by lesser, although that is still unlikely to be met. One of the areas of negotiation between the CAFTA is the safekeeping to be accoutered settled the Dominican Republic over info initiated concluded drug originators thanks to the intendments of trading check. Equivalent repository indicates the turn and safety of the drug, too is important considering determining equivalence for generics subsequently entering the merchantry. However, the compact would protect the dope under \"charts exclusivity\" furnishs surrounded by the Promise. Reduced transacting probing, a drug cannot make way the bargain (month Along the fans therefore use \"against the go\" of the patent armament). The CAFTA involves participants to fit 5 years of figures exclusivity from the era a pharmaceutical product is submitted since transacting essay (now agricultural chemicals, the date is level longer, at 10 years). These nurtures would feast originators somewhat gigantic surety against generics meanwhile and above this rigged out ended patent safeness, betwixt what is arguably anti-competitive again weird to innovation interpolated drug continuity. Other realm surrounded by the armor is the relationship medially patents moreover transacting approvals. Halfway spirit to scrapes surrounding the implementation of the Precaution amidst Chile, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) has argued this Chile is giving unloading experiment to drugs that are illustrations of products too under patent. Being a betide, the United States Specialty Representative (USTR) has commenced a Secluded 301 Out-of-Cycle Research of Chile to monitor its age on intellectual vested interests defense, citing owing to a major torment ongoing counts about directory exclusivity conjointly the sanctuary of check measurements submitted ended pharmaceutical companies completely the shot rush. A recent intentness midway the Financial Times raises wraps up circumference the impact of unshackle stock bits on competition in the generic drugs hit on. The article, \"Patent or patient?\" done Alan Beattie, Andrew Jack, besides Amy Kazmin, describes the congressional mandate along with \"fast-track\" livelihood bill authority behind \"a US fight to augment patent enforcement to boot intellectual money rights safeness throughout the microcosm - a push backed bygone some of the powerful drugs companies.\" Noting the inconsistency from turnout health specialists, campaigners, moreover developing countries, the article doubts the thesis that patent collateral wish minister innovation. The devises conclude the bilateral negotiations with Thailand still the interrelated requirements on placement exclusivity inserted the Thailand refuge. Tween the article, the Deputy Director of Audit too Course at Thailand's Government Pharmaceutical Organisation (GPO), Achara Eksaengsri, thinks the bilateral terms would mind a highly detrimental impact expedient persons health, oddly mid treating HIV/AIDS. Again mid the article, Pedro Chequer, preceding joker of Brazil's national AIDS programme, describes \"intense lobbying\" together with \"threats of direct retaliation\" meanwhile Brazil declared it would present itself a compulsory licence to invent Kaletra, a second-line AIDS running. Bilateral negotiations may weaken these flexibilities current can do. Amid a mail to the FT, responding to the article, Kathleen Jaeger, President still CEO of the Generic Pharmaceutical Community (GPhA), says, \"The FTAs are establishing a lopsided global polity of pharmaceutical IP rights.\" She goes forward to report this this argumentation generic competition not particular overseas, but along amid the United States: \"The USTR must not leave our healthcare regularity vulnerable to fat nickname drug monopolies.\" Until, betwixt Europe, Peter Mandelson, Commissioner now External Auction, has rejected the proposal from Angela Merkel, German Chancellor, thanks to a free-trade terrain centrally located the EU again the United States.

There was a solid discussion opposite at MetaFilter the succeeding year, during this article widely odd \"emotions clause\" bills making their usage done US legislatures.

I nurse this mind interesting through a couple of causes: first, now the chaos that would present itself my shanty if the administration chose which patients to treat is a morbid thirst (conjointly, fortunately, something potential to keep up amidst the scope of imagination). Point, for the application opposite pharmacists' rights, with acclaim to emergency contraceptions, forces some logical contortions: Thereupon, pro-life groups are prayer to preserve the law out of a private ken of conscience. Of management, these commensurate citizens would appear at the fortuitous to establish collapse illegal, regardless of particular's private feelings. Neat, huh? But everyone's got an vocabulary: Lourdes Rivera, who assists low-income patients until director of the Los Angeles-based National Health Law Order, worries this anti-abortion health providers are gaining more much run of. \"Yes, we lasciviousness to stomach solitary earnest of religion.

Yet Rivera's lift strikes me over exactly for sure, too exactly why these conflicts of passengers don't undertaking masses to a inhabit: Mortals point to propound vocations this don't compromise their beliefs. But I look for quantum machine can ultimately get detail someone separating parallel a location (the MeFites set aside: Jewish sympathizers in the Nazi ranks, vegetarian waiters, along with thousands again).

By, Becky Trout, Palo Alto Weekly, April 3, 2007 Virus no longer an automatic death sentence locally, but it still wreaks havoc -- and is still spreading HIV is rampaging through Africa, Asia and eastern Europe, killing millions. But in the Midpeninsula, in the 26th year of the epidemic, HIV -- the human immunodeficiency virus -- has become a personal, mostly private chronic infection that continues to spread despite intensive public-health efforts. Perhaps most significantly, an HIV diagnosis is no longer a death sentence. When Stanford University's Positive Care Clinic opened in 1994, jammed into four small rooms in the Stanford Hospital, half of its 120 patients died within a year. "Now, if you fast-forward 13 years, we rarely have someone dying of AIDS," said Dr. Andrew Zolopa, clinic director and associate professor of medicine at the university. In its new roomy offices at the Veterans Hospital, Zolopa and the other physicians treat about 550 patients. Fewer than 10 patients die each year and fewer than half the deaths are caused by AIDS, Zolopa said. Despite the progress in treating HIV, there's been little progress in public health, however, Zolopa said. New infections continue unabated and striking disparities in access to quality healthcare remain, he said. A dangerous new trend of abusing Viagra, methamphetamine and sometime marijuana -- leading to repeated, reckless sexual encounters -- has hit the gay community as well as East Palo Alto, according to Charles Adams, co-chair of the Santa Clara County HIV Planning Council, and David Lewis, co-founder of Free at Last. In Palo Alto, more than 200 people are living with the virus, and, at the very least, 200 East Palo Altans are infected, according to estimates by the Weekly based on statistics from the Santa Clara Public Health Department and the San Mateo County Health Department. Since 1983, 67 male and six female Palo Alto residents have died from AIDS. Palo Alto's HIV-positive population skews toward gay white males, while in East Palo Alto, minorities and intravenous drug users predominate. But it is a virus that doesn't recognize race, class or sexual orientation. Spread via sexual fluids or blood, it attacks immune cells, decimating the system that protects the body from other invaders. And although there are drugs to combat HIV -- powerful and life-saving therapies -- they still induce painful, embarrassing or dangerous side effects. In addition, the drugs only slow the progression of the disease. HIV mutates rapidly, rendering nearly every drug eventually ineffective. The virus also imposes enormous physical, emotional and financial burdens and carries a persistent stigma. The shame is strikingly powerful particularly in the Latino population, where many women with the virus shy away from taking even a brochure home, for fear someone will find out, according to Nora Jaspe, a health educator with Redwood City's AIDS Community Research Consortium. Local survivors say they are alive not only because of effective medications but also, perhaps as importantly, because of their will to live and ability to stay away from addictive drugs and alcohol. Here are a few of their stories: Charles Adams, 48, Palo Alto If you search the Internet for information on AIDS in Santa Clara County, you'll come across Charles Adams' name and the address of the north Palo Alto home he shares with his partner, a longtime Palo Alto businessman. Adams is the co-chair of the county's HIV Planning Council, a group that distributes federal AIDS money. He's also active with just about every other HIV/AIDS group around -- Health Trust's Food Basket program, which provides food to those with HIV; the board monitoring clinical trials at Stanford University; and the AIDS Legal Services of the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley, to name a few. "Having my partner has enabled me to help," Adams said. "To me, (HIV) is just part of everyday life, and it's easy to talk about. I'm really lucky I'm in such a supportive environment." Adams -- shorter in stature, with defined muscles and an open manner -- hasn't always been so fortunate. Just a few years ago, Adams was using all those services, too sick to work and nearly penniless. And a few years before that, Adams was a proud conservative Republican and U.S. Army officer. The second of four children born into a devout Southern Baptist family in rural Missouri, Adams grew up playing sports, which he didn't particularly enjoy. He dreamed of attending West Point Academy. From a young age he knew he was gay and even tried to tell his parents. In response, they guided him toward religion and more sports, he said. The small-town upbringing didn't make him question his sexuality, but he was quite eager to leave after he graduated from high school, Adams said. "I never gave being gay a second thought. . . . It was just part of life. It wasn't like I flaunted (it). I never drank or did drugs or smoked." Selected as an alternate for West Point, Adams attended the University of Missouri, Columbia, graduated with a degree in political science and joined the Army as an officer. He loved it -- the routine and discipline, the diversity and travel. HIV certainly wasn't on his mind. "We'd all read about something going on (on) the coast. How did that affect me?" Adams said. It did though. Adams got sick in 1983. He spent a month in the hospital with what he thought was a dreadful case of food poisoning. Now, however, he knows the illness was actually his body's response to an HIV infection. Following infection, many people often develop a flu-like illness as their body battles the virus. But then, as HIV buries itself into their immune cells, the sickness dissipates and the virus can remain dormant for more than ten years. Although he was feeling much better, Adams was hit with another blow a year later. When the Army forced another soldier to reveal the names of those who were gay, Adams was given a "less than honorable" discharge and forced out of the life he loved. He returned to Missouri. "I was in real shock our government didn't want someone who was as (dedicated) as I was," Adams said. His political views took a sharp turn to the left. In 1987, HIV tests came out. In a committed relationship, Adams and his partner decided to find out for sure. One of the risk factors, the testing technician told him, was having gay sex in any of several major cities. "I'd had sex in almost all of them. . . . By then I knew -- I knew HIV was possible." Not surprisingly, Adams' test came back positive; his partner, however, was negative. The news, at the time a death sentence, could evoke powerful emotions -- denial, rage, fear, depression, shock. Adams, however, took the news in stride. "I wasn't scared. You have to be responsible for your own choices," he said. Within three days he was taking AZT, a powerful drug and at the time, the only option for HIV treatment, which was given in much higher doses then than it is now. "I was really, really tired. I threw up a lot. It was really nasty," Adams said. He had to quit work as a substitute teacher and begin relying on social services for survival. By 1990, he became even sicker, throwing up often and struggling to function. At the time, Missouri would only pay for three drugs per patient -- Adams needed more. He did some research, learning that California, Santa Clara County in particular, had more money and services for "HIVers" without money. So after a few detours, Adams and his then partner moved to San Jose. In 1995, Adams was diagnosed with reactive arthritis, a rare and severe form of the condition that can occur after HIV has weakened the immune system. Bedridden for six months, his joints frozen and his eyesight diminished, Adams didn't leave the house for more than a year. Adams calls the time "a really weird period." "I've never been the type to get depressed about anything. I never felt sorry for myself. I just thought, 'I just don't want to live, if this is the way it's going to be.'" Then, gradually, life got better. Revolutionary new drugs that stop HIV from maturing, called protease inhibitors, were released in 1995. "Without them, I probably would have died. ... (They) made all the difference in the world," Adams said. He learned to walk again and figured out how to write using fat pens. And he met his current partner. "The reason I liked him so much was he asked, right away, 'What is your status?" Adams said. "There is this big 'Don't ask, don't tell' policy in the gay community." Adams' partner is negative. Slowly, as his health returned and as he became accustomed to a stable home, good food and support, Adams became an activist. "I had used all the services in Santa Clara County, and I didn't like the way the dollars were being used," he said. "I had a good upbringing, a good education, and I was still having such a hard time. . . . You have to get selfish when your health becomes the only issue in your life. Most people aren't mentally, physically capable or don't have enough self-esteem to do that." Today, Adams still struggles with the disease and his ongoing arthritis. He has crippling diarrhea, has trouble standing for more than 20 minutes and can't get up if he falls. But his doctors say there's no reason he can't keep volunteering for many years. "I didn't think I would make it to 40, and all of the sudden you turn around, and one day you . . . have a life." Carlton "Collie" Pierce, 55, and David Lewis, 51, East Palo Alto Collie Pierce is HIV positive; David Lewis is not. Pierce has glasses, a pocked face and a single golden earring. Lewis is imposing, with a trademark mustache and graying hair. Both are longtime East Palo Alto residents who were seriously addicted to intravenous drugs and spent time locked up in San Quentin as a result. And now, they're both working to help others in the grasp of drugs escape. Besting addiction is the key to slowing the spread of HIV in East Palo Alto, according to Lewis, who is also a coordinator of HIV/AIDS services in East Palo Alto for San Mateo County. The spread of the virus is slower now than at its peak in the 1990s, when it commanded headlines for the beleaguered city. Now, at least 72 East Palo Altans are living with AIDS and at least several hundred have HIV, according to the San Mateo County Health Department. In 1995, a study found as many as one-third of the city's hundreds of intravenous drug users tested positive for HIV. Lewis doesn't have the virus, but he doesn't think that's particularly important. "In our community, it doesn't really matter," he said. Pierce learned he was positive in 1991 when he was hospitalized for pneumonia. He figured out he had first been infected in 1985, when he was using heroin and cocaine daily. "Just like so many other people, I didn't know it," Pierce said. "It's so scary that they go on living normal lives ... (sleeping with) multiple partners. ... I was one of those people." "My attitude was it would not and it could not happen to me. When I found out, I went on a death mission." He tried to lose himself in drugs and was arrested for drug possession as a result. His return trip to San Quentin, with HIV, was different, Pierce said. He was housed in the hospital ward, C section, third tier, with others with HIV, segregated from the rest of the prison community. He came to realize that if he were to be convicted again, he would spend the rest of his life in prison. Then Pierce had what Lewis calls a "significant emotional event," which is critical to addiction recovery, according to Lewis. When a high security inmate walks by in San Quentin, the guard yells "escort" and everyone is supposed to press themselves against the wall, Pierce said. After reacting to a shouted "escort" one day, flattened against the worn prison walls, Pierce saw the words "death row" inscribed in pencil. "For me, C section, third tier with HIV positive (people) was like death row. . . . I related to that (inscription)," Pierce said. "That was my last trip to prison. I made a commitment to do anything I could not to return." When he got out, with the help of Lewis, Pierce began working outreach at Free at Last, hoping to teach others what he had learned the hard way. He's been clean and sober for 11 years. "I try to be the best advocate I can. That's why I am so very open. People need to know," Pierce said. "It still goes on. You might not hear about it. But it still goes on; that's why they call it 'the quiet killer.' People are still spreading it; people are still dying." Pierce himself has been fortunate. He hasn't taken an HIV drug since 1999 and feels fine. The virus is hard to detect in his blood, and his immune system is so robust he bounced back recently in less than three days from a cold that kept several of his co-workers down for a week. Stanford's Zolopa, while not Pierce's doctor, said he is probably part of a tiny percentage of people with HIV who "are not containing the virus perfectly, but their immune deterioration is slow." He will probably eventually need medicine, Zolopa said. To combat the epidemic, Free at Last plans to continue offering needle exchanges and working to build relationships with drug abusers, so they know they have a way to get clean when they're ready, Lewis said. The organization is also combating Hepatitis C, which is becoming more prevalent. Hep C is a virus, transmitted with dirty needles, that attacks the liver. Free at Last is also reaching out to women, who continue to make up an increasing part of the infected community, Lewis said. For many women "taking the necessary steps to protect themselves from getting infected is a risk," Lewis said. Stephanie Marshall, 38, Hilmar, Calif. Hilmar is a small town in the Central Valley, a few miles south of Turlock. Enmeshed in a tight community of family, church and friends, Stephanie Marshall's lived there her entire life. Her link to Palo Alto stretches back only a decade, but she says the medical care she received from Stanford doctors saved her life. Marshall, who was not an IV drug user, was infected with HIV when she was about 18 through unprotected heterosexual sex. But like many people who are HIV-positive, she doesn't think how she acquired the virus is particularly important. "We get this illness because of choices we made. ... We have to stand up and take responsibility," Marshall said. "We choose not to use protection. It's nobody's fault but our own. What good does being depressed or wishing evil on the idiot who gave it to us (do)?" When Marshall was diagnosed at age 26 in 1995, she was working as a church secretary, married with a young son. Both her husband and son tested HIV negative. Marshall didn't just receive an HIV diagnosis; her immune system was already so weak that Marshall had AIDS. "I knew nothing about AIDS. We don't have a large homosexual community. I didn't know anybody who had it. It just wasn't in my radar," Marshall said. She quickly learned. "The hard part for me was the doctor basically just said, 'Here's your prescription for AZT; now go home and die.'" Self-described as "sassy," dying wasn't in Marshall's plans. She refused to take AZT, however. Why take a drug that would make her so sick? And as she got sicker, she decided to let everyone in the community know. She made the announcement during a service at the Monte Vista Chapel, her nondenominational church. "The doctors got up and explained how you get it and how you don't get it. The elders laid hands on me," Marshall said. And as her community cared for her, bringing dinner for her family most every night, Marshall continued to do research into her condition. Then she fell in with a group that didn't believe HIV caused AIDS. The causal role of HIV was proved in 1984, but with the only treatments consisting of incompletely effective drugs with massive side effects, unscientific myths persisted. Marshall went to Santa Cruz for a bit to live with an aunt. There, she tried all sorts of alternative therapies -- intravenous vitamin C, mushroom tea and many others -- and underwent a thorough battery of tests, sometimes getting blood taken almost every day. Nothing capable of causing her symptoms, other than HIV, could be found. Marshall began to accept the virus was responsible for her illness. Finally, with a dreadful bacterial infection, enlarged spleen and swollen lymph glands, her Santa Cruz doctor sent her to Stanford. She met Zolopa in 1997. At the time, she weighed only 90 pounds and was wasting away, Zolopa said. He asked why she wasn't taking AZT, Marshall recalled. Marshall explained she didn't want to take such a harmful drug. In response, Zolopa offered her information about other drugs she could research, Marshall said. She hadn't known there were other drugs available. "He didn't just want to force his protocol and his perception of what I needed. (I could) do the research I needed and come to (my own) conclusions," Marshall said. Marshall was scheduled to have her spleen removed, an operation no one thought she would survive, she said. Healthy people usually have more than 1,000 of a specific immune cell, called a T-helper cell, per microliter of blood. Marshall, at her lowest, had only three. An individual has AIDS if his or her T-cell count slips below 200. Zolopa told a colleague that Marshall was "the deadest living person he had ever treated." Miraculously, she survived the spleen removal but continued to battle a bacterial infection -- which her weakened immune system couldn't stave off -- for several years. Now, Marshall drives to Palo Alto only four times a year. Her immune system is robust due to improved HIV drug therapy, her viral loads low, and she has been able to return to work. "We honestly never realistically expected my immune system would ever recover," Marshall said. Marshall's son is grown now, and she was divorced last year. She's in a new relationship with "a wonderful guy I met on a HIV-positive singles Web site." "We understand where we're both coming from. ... We have each others' back." Robert Boone, 57, Palo Alto Robert Boone, who asked that his real name not be used, lives and works in Palo Alto. Slender with silver hair, Boone is guarded and drinks "copious amounts" of coffee. Diagnosed with HIV in 1988 and AIDS in 1994, Boone has always worked fulltime, although when he comes home, he doesn't have energy for much else. Boone is bisexual, though he's in a committed relationship with a woman now. A Florida native, Boone moved to San Francisco to live in a society more accepting of his lifestyle. For about 13 years, Boone said he was very promiscuous. "Did I play safe? Obviously not safe enough," Boone said. "In 1980, I decided it was time to grow up and be respectable," Boone said. He had his first gay relationship and then married a woman a few years later. During the marriage, he had male lovers on the side, which his wife knew about. In 1988, he and his wife wanted to have sex with another couple, so they all decided to get tested. The others were negative; Boone tested positive. "I definitely knew it was in the realm of possibility. Was I expecting it? Probably not," Boone said. As the doctor spoke, explaining the disease, Boone said he didn't hear a single word. The doctor had to discuss the diagnosis with his wife. "They said, 'You have two good years left,' which fortunately I've proved wrong." Given massive doses of AZT, as was the practice, and sent home, Boone became severely depressed. "I did the dumb thing of not trying to get treated for it," Boone said. His marriage started to unravel. "It put a real damper on our sex life, to say the least," Boone said. "I'm just as much at fault. But finally she said, 'I just can't deal with you being sick.'" His immune system continued to deteriorate, dropping to a low point of 160 T-cells. Nonetheless, Boone still worked 40 hours a week. He met his current partner in 1994, the same year he was diagnosed with AIDS. "Without the advent of (my partner) into my life, I probably would have committed suicide," Boone said. This time, he sought out medical treatment for depression. "Things started to level out and then go upwards." Boone jokes that he got his "green card to Palo Alto" in 1995. Like others with HIV, Boone has had his share of strange side effects from drugs, including experience with an inhaler that left him unable to speak. Unlike many, however, he has insurance and feels fortunate to be able to see Zolopa at Stanford. "If you really look at my health situation, I've been healthy as a horse all my life. Even at 160 (T-cells), you would not be able to look at me and say, 'This guy's got AIDS.'" Brown said he has a love/hate relationship with the drugs. "Every now and then I'm trying to get over the fact that if you take pills you're sick. I'm not sick, but I take pills." AIDS is like diabetes now, Boone said, something you can live with. "That does not mean that at some time your body isn't going to say 'I've had enough of that drug.' That's the scary part ... and, and, and 'Is this the beginning of the end?'" Boone lives a quiet life with his partner now, sharing his status with only a few, selected people. "I've given up the men in my life," Boone joked. Boone is slow to preach or judge others' behavior. "I told my mom, 'It doesn't matter how I've got it, the fact is, I've got it.' ... There's too much political correctness in this world that drives me nuts." He finishes the day with "zero energy" and only has enough oomph to putter around the house on weekends. But he, unlike many, many of his friends, is still alive.
