IcerocketAs with about over 50% of the statements I make or the things I believe in all are based on adaptations. Adaptations of information and numbers that I red or heard. Of this information I separate myself in what I find -true- or -not true-.
When I say the glaciers are melting I say that because I heard or red it I never went myself to check it out before I talked about it...
When Aids came in the news in about the mid eighties more and more an image in the media was created that soon it would take pandemic proportions.
Nowadays there is much more silence around Aids and one would have or at least I had expected. Is this because the medication does so well, which is what one hears?!
I have to be clear to tell that didn't loose people close to me on Aids.
At the other hands I know lots of people including me that did Aids tests and would use condoms when before they wouldn't. In that sense me and people around me spend money protect (at least that was what I was thinking) ourselfs to get Aids... I wonder how much money that is on a global scale.
This is a documentary Deconstructing the myth of Aids I find one should definitily see this long documentary even only for the other light it shines on this whole (fear)fenomen.

I took a walk...
— Nov 12, 2009
On October 31st I took a walk with my family, friends and neighbors and remembered all of those who have passed away and those living with HIV. What can one person do? Get together with another and another and another.

On October 31, 2009, over 900 people raised an
estimated $170,000 (and still counting)!
Desert Regional Medical Center returned as the Presenting Sponsor for the second year. Subway Restaurants, California Pizza Kitchen, Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream and Koffi all provided food, drink and other treats that contributed to the success of the day.
Singer/songwriter Ann Hampton Callaway serenaded the assembled crowd with "Over The Rainbow," before introducing Broadway legend Carol Channing. These two leading ladies dazzled the crowd, thanked them for coming out and raising money, and then led the countdown to a rousing step-off of AIDS WALK 2009.
The money raised this year is especially needed in these challenging economic times. State budget cuts have done away with funding for HIV testing kits, education and prevention programs and other vital services provided by Desert AIDS Project. However, due to the generosity of the Coachella Valley through donations and other events like AIDS WALK, D.A.P. will be able to continue most of its services.
