Trubbish is unique in Little Cup as the only Pokemon with access to Clear Smog, Toxic Spikes, and Spikes, making it an excellent support Pokemon. It can stop set-up sweepers in their tracks whilst setting up entry hazards of its own. Additionally, it is one of the bulkiest Poison-types in the metagame, especially with Eviolite, making it an excellent choice for any stall or balanced team. Unfortunately, however, Trubbish lacks recovery outside of Oran Berry, and has a fairly limited movepool.
With access to Toxic Spikes, Trubbish makes an excellent utility Pokemon. In a metagame where bulky, grounded Pokemon are staples, Toxic Spikes is a good addition to any team. Unfortunately, most of the Pokemon who can set them up cannot do much else besides that. Trubbish not only has the ability to set up entry hazards, but can also stop set-up sweepers in their tracks using Clear Smog, which removes all of the opponents stat changes. This makes it an excellent check for Pokemon such as Scraggy and Dratini, who can't do much in return.
Trubbish's moveset is quite straightforward. Clear Smog allows it to bring most sweeps to a standstill, whilst Payback is for coverage, considering that Psychic-types are one of this set's main counters. Trubbish being one of the few Pokemon who can set up Toxic Spikes. Being a grounded Poison-type, Trubbish can also remove Toxic Spikes from its side of the field. Explosion allows Trubbish to deal last-minute damage to dangerous threats and Pokemon which its team would otherwise struggle to beat.
Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
A Curse set consisting of Payback, Gunk Shot, and Return is possible; Trubbish's limited movepool and mediocre offensive stats, however, prevent it from being very effective. It could also make use of Stockpile, increasing its already impressive bulk. Trubbish also has the ability to set up Rain Dance and Sunny Day, being one of the few Poison-types to be able to do so.
Checks and Counters
Due to its poor defensive typing, anything with a strong super effective move, such as Drilbur, can reliably beat Trubbish. Additionally, Pokemon who resist Trubbish's moves, such as Gastly, also set up on it.
Due to Explosion's nerf, Trubbish is completely useless against most Steel-types. Pokemon such as Bronzor and Ferroseed can switch into Trubbish with impunity and proceed to set up entry hazards or, in Bronzor's case, KO Trubbish with STAB Psychic. Perhaps the most dangerous Trubbish counter is Pawniard as it is unaffected by Clear Smog, allowing it to set up with Swords Dance in Trubbish's face. Other Poison-types such as Tentacool limit Trubbish's effectiveness greatly because they absorb Toxic Spikes.

Peek Into the Kitchen of Yvette van Boven Chef & Author of Home Made
Today, we're taking a closer look at Home Made, and giving you a little peek into Yvette's own home kitchen!
Yvette says that she is not a stranger to cookbooks — wrote her first at the age of four! Since then she has gone on to own and run a restaurant, and to illustrate many magazines, newspapers, and books. This multi-pack of talents led her naturally to this cookbook, Home Made, which pulls in yet another of her interests. She says:
My mother and the women in our street made a lot of things with their own hands, out of necessity or by tradition, and my sister and I did the same. We made soda bread, biscuits, shortbread, jelly, and stew for our toy restaurant, which we built in our room or in the garden. We made ice creams, cheeses, yogurt, butterfly cakes, and ginger ale for our dolls or friends.
This home made playtime turned into real-life home made treats in her book, Home Made, which is a delightful and delicious collection of recipes for DIY basics and for ways to use them. It's chock-full of Yvette's own drawings, and her husband's beautiful photographs. Here's a little taste of a recipe from her book — one for homemade tea, made with things local to you.
• Visit Yvette: Yvette van Boven
Look for Yvette's new book soon too! It's called Home Made Winter and it will be out this October from Stewart, Tabori & Chang. (She's working on Home Made Summer as well!)
Find Yvette's book: Home Made (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, September 2011) at your local library, independent bookstore, or Amazon.com

Are those putty knives she has on her knife magnet? Any idea what she uses them for? I'm assuming she uses them like turners or palette knives.
@CHRISTIANDHOLMES, they do look like palette or putty knives, I don't know what she uses them for but I have a few - I use them like bench scrapers and to scrape off smaller chocolate or confectionery molds after I've filled them (I hold the mold and use the scraper to scrape the excess chocolate back into the bowl or tempering machine). They're really handy I'd just make sure ones you get can be thoroughly cleaned and don't have a lot of crevices for harboring bacteria.
LOVE this kitchen! A real working kitchen! Shows how you don't need a giant kitchen with outrageous appliances and overblown islands to produce outstanding meals!
That's crazy I was just at the bookstore today and skimmed thru her book, amazing recipes!

Now that we have the TRU DCUC vs. MOTUC 2-packs, maybe we can see a red Beast Man like that!
Now that we have the TRU DCUC vs. MOTUC 2-packs, maybe we can see a red Beast Man like that!
I'm truly hoping for exactly that, mjharwood!!! I would buy several to make an army for Gygor!
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti

Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.

Those customs look great, & the charcoal colored armor for MAA would be a cool varient, too.
Does Galactus fart?
I wouldn't object to this version. It was the first version of Beastman I ever saw anyway
It's all about being polished when it counts!
Man those customs look feaking cool! I'd buy them if they made them.
People sleep peaceably at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
So im really confuesd, I always thought this was Red Beast, the bear looking guy
not him
but then we have this guy as well
and this appears to be a Red Gygor
Which one is it? And who are the other ones?
These are a bunch of various concepts. Without a video camera in the Mattel offices from 1979-1981, it's probably not an answer we're ever going to get. But in hinsdsight, this is what we're looking at:
1) Red Beast - the bear-like concept art that was one of 3 designs that Mark Taylor brought to the table when He-Man was being created.
2) Red Beastman - The Minicomics interpretation of Beast Man, based off the same art as the toys, but differing in color and detail because the toy sculpting of the era toned down and lost much of the style of the design art.
3) Red Beast sketch - probably an intermediary step between the Mark Taylor sketch and the final Beast Man design, possibly one that intended to use the Big Jim Gorilla toy as a base. Notice Beast Man's medallion "burst" is the same design as the belt on this character.
4) A concept sketch of a He-Man vehicle/beast - probably has no connection to Gy-Gor other than Mattel designers intended to use the Big Jim Gorilla mold for it. It seems like Mattel tried a number of times to utilize that existing tooling in the vintage line, but it never came to production.

My MOTU Classics Wishlist:
Filmation - LIZARD MAN, Kittrina, Vultak, Zilora, Ileena, Masque
Space Mutants - CRITA, Staghorn, Quakke, Butthead, Lizzor, Hoove
MYP - VEENA, Evilseed, Prahvus
Concept - RED BEAST, 4H alien 'Zodaq', Tony Guerrero Prototype
Beast Man is now the only 8-back character to not have a variant, either from matty or TRU.
I really hope they make him. Alcala Skeletor needs his red Beast Man.
By the ancients!!!
Lich Leech feedback thread
I think I'd be fine buying a custom Alcala head.
Wish List: Eldor, Skeleton Warriors, King Argho, Horde Wraiths, Kobolds, Prahvus, Lord Masque, Rock Monster, Gen. Tartaran, Evil Seed, Carnivorous Plant, Lizard-Man, Hawke, Crimson Fury, Melaktha, Spinwit, Ra-Jarr, Kelclar, King Miro, Dare, Missile-Toe, Sh'gora, Vizar, Harpy, ABC Giants, Lodar, Dragoon, Darius, Negator, Masks of Power Demons, Slob-Boar, Bubblor, Three-Beast, Nocturna
i hought red beast that people refrenced was this beastman. but that bear has surpassed this idea so if we got a red beastman rather than the repaint which we could (and have) done ourseles, id rather the bear redbeast. that being said i would also love that "red heroic gygor"
i miss the tru 2 packs most. we should have gotten green trapjaw and red beastman. oh well.
I would be totally for a red Beast Man like that.

Save your eureka moments. These note-taking apps are at your fingertips.
Are you ready for the "bathroom economy"?
That's what CEO Jamey Edwards wants to create with the Flushd app, which is based around about 100,000 bathroom listings from Foursquare. You can review and rate public bathrooms, make use of an "emergency locator button" to find the nearest john, and digest content curated for "in-stall" consumption. Read more>

Rose demonstrates on a raw-looking website featuring a world map. As he clicks around various random locations, Forecast on Demand instantly generates real-time forecasts for that specific geographical point, using the freshest information available from its more than 75,000 data sources. This upends traditional forecasting, which relies on pregenerated predictions.
If it works as intended, the technology could represent a paradigm shift for prediction techniques."

Simple :)
I made this recipe in a grill pan & it turned out great! I used a zesty BBQ sauce & sub'd in smoked provolone cheese as it was what I had on hand. The hint of smoke in the cheese made the chicken taste like it came off the outdoor grill!
easy and quick on a weeknight but I must say I grow weary of the "health" police... if you don't like or approve of a recipe... just keep quiet... the rest of us will enjoy and share our positive thoughts.... just a nice way to step up a meal for our families!
This was delicious. I read the other comments first, so I decided to experiment . I bought some new thin, long metal skewers. I used 1 1/2 slice of cheese for each chicken breast; stuffed it in tight and then "sewed" the opening shut with the skewer. I cooked them on the grill, and only lost a tiny bit of cheese. Give it a try, the skewers came in a pack of 4 at Kroger for $2.99.
Simple and excellent taste.

Police were called to the upscale home of Philadelphia Attorney Charles Peruto Jr. after investigators say a maintenance man found the body of a 26-year-old woman upside down in a bathtub.
The discovery was made around 10 a.m. Saturday at 2000 Delancey Place in the city's Rittenhouse Square section.
A police source identified the victim as Julia Law, a paralegal at Peruto's firm. Police are not considering the death suspicious at this time.
A source tells FOX 29 Peruto told investigators he was down at the shore when the body was discovered. He did meet with investigators earlier in the day.
An autopsy has been scheduled to determine the woman's cause of death. FOX 29 is continuing to follow this developing story, and reporter Dave Kinchen has more details in the video report above.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

HIV Victims and Villains: Who Is Really At Fault?
Picture of Tyler Curry (@iamtylercurry) courtesy of Kevin Chung
There is a common assumption among the sexually active homo population that it is the responsibility of HIV-positive men to disclose their status before engaging in bedroom gymnastics. Based on this assumption, a person who doesn't mention his status before he tries and fails to make a baby with another man silently asserts that he is HIV-negative by default. Even if a person living with HIV is undetectable and protection was used, he would be considered reprehensible, immoral and altogether villainous character if he failed to disclose his scarlet plus sign to his unknowing HIV-negative partner. But when it comes to the laws of responsibility in HIV disclosure, sometimes there is more than one suspect in a crime.
The Scene of the Crime
The following scenario is based on a true story
Parker is a young, successful and single gay man living with HIV. Nathan is of the same homo vein, but he is HIV-negative. The two met while Parker was at a business conference and Nathan was on vacation with several of his friends. A mojito at the hotel pool quickly led to martinis at the closest gay bar. Dinner was served, flirtation escalated and Nathan ended up back in Parker's room for a little more than dessert. The fast and frenzied pace of this out-of-town romance caught Parker by surprise and he failed to find the right moment to disclose his HIV status (and Nathan never asked). His viral load was at an undetectable level and they used protection, but his conscience wasn't satisfied with this threshold of safety.
The Confession
Parker and Nathan parted ways the next morning with plans to meet up for a drink later in the day. By six o'clock, the weight of the guilt over not disclosing had Parker in need of more than just a strong pour on his vodka gimlet. He needed to clear the air.
Parker told Nathan that he was HIV positive. He explained that he was on medication and had an undetectable viral load. He said that since they used a condom, his health was not at risk, but that it was important for Parker to be honest about his status.
Nathan was visibly shaken and admitted that Parker should have disclosed his status before they had sex. He was concerned because there was a lot of kissing and oral play that took place. Parker explained the reality of transmission and that Nathan had nothing to worry about, but the damage was done. Nathan felt victimized and he was sitting across from the smoking gun. Needless to say, the two men didn't order a second round.
For the jury of public opinion, the judgment of who committed the crime and who was the victim receives a unanimous vote. But before the sentence of shame is handed down to Parker for not disclosing his status, let's look at who had the motive to commit the crime.
Parker did want to tell Nathan about his HIV status. As a man who was actively managing his disease with treatment, it was important for him to be up front about being positive, even if there was no health risk involved. However, many people fail to understand that when you become positive, you aren't handed an operator's guide on how to handle your new status. The variables of sexual psychology are limitless when concerning dating and HIV. Although he failed to disclose that he was a positive man, he had taken the steps to protect Nathan and himself—both by using a condom and being steadfast in his treatment regime.
Nathan is a sexually active gay man who, by default, is part of the HIV community. With one out of every five gay males being HIV positive, it is his responsibility to protect his own sexual health. It's true—Parker did not disclose that he is HIV positive. But Nathan didn't disclose that he was HIV negative, nor did he ask to know Parker's status before the clothes started to come off. In this scenario, Nathan has a motive to stay negative. Therefore, he is also guilty of committing a crime of not disclosing his status and not inquiring about the status of his sexual partner.
This is only one out of many criminal scenarios that many of us find ourselves in when it comes to dating, dirty talk and disclosure. When it comes to sex, there are always two (or more) suspects whose motives should be investigated. And when it comes to protecting each other's health, the burden is mutually shared and the responsibility is equally divisible, regardless of status.
I always disclose my HIV-positive status because it is in the best interests of my health, not yours.

hello every body my name is ASHLEY I just want to share my experience with the world on how dr paul help me, I got my love back and saved my marriage… I was married for 3years with 1kid and we lived happily until things started getting ugly and we had fights and arguments almost every time… it got worse at a point that he filed for divorce… I tried my best to make him change his mind & stay with me because I love him so much and don't want to lose him but everything just didn't work out… he moved out of the house because it was a rented apartment and still went ahead to file for divorce… I pleaded and tried everything but still nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful, great spell caster who eventually helped me out… I have never been a fan of things like this but just decided to try reluctantly because I was desperate and left with no choice… He did special prayers and used his power… Within 2 days my husband called me and he said he was sorry for all the emotional pains he had cost me, moved back to the house and we continue to live happily, the kid are happy too and we are expecting our second child… I have introduced him to a lot of couples with problems across the world and they have had good news… Just thought I should share my experience because I strongly believe someone out there need's it… You can email him through his email address;firstname.lastname@example.com THANKS.........

I have to ask a questions to you all ;
- if a man (or woman) is HIV+, how long do they, most often they hide it?
- How often do they expose others without informing them?
- How often do HIV+ individuals, expose others, then say a lie "I didnt know I was pos" (when they did).
I would like to know the real statistics on this but it would likely be impossible.

How often do HIV+ individuals, expose others, then say a lie "I didnt know I was pos" (when they did).
I would like to know the real statistics on this but it would likely be impossible. Getting your opinion is the best information I can get. I ask these questions having "seen it all".
This speaks to a "disagreement" I have had with another poz man I know. It is his contention that he only informs people on a "need to know" basis or to potential sex partners. I am totally transparent and list it in all of my online profiles! I realize he is not ready for this yet but until he is ready, he is impeding my efforts to "normalize" AIDS/HIV.

I have never relied on someone to disclose their HIV status to me unsolicited, even if they were pos. I always ask what someone's status is if I am going to sleep with them AND when their last test was, that is important to ask too. Maybe they got tested negative 10 years ago, contracted HIV since then, but don't know it.
If you are sexually active, get an HIV test every 6 months and always talk about status don't expect the other person to tell you if you don't ask.
Someone's negative test result is valid only up until the first time thereafter that person has high-risk sex. Disclosure and discussion are important (and disclosure by poz guys is legally required in many places), but basing behavior on what someone merely tells you is foolish. Every day in the U.S. alone, thousands of gay men contract HIV by having condomless sex, many of them with men who thought they were negative. This is why it's so important to take the responsibility of protecting yourself, regardless of what someone tells you.
I don't understand.. If he felt compelled to share his HIV Poz status AFTER the sex, why is he absolved from feeling the need BEFORE having sex.. This isn't just about the likelihood of transmission.. if it were there would be little to be concerned about.. But human beings have strong internal emotional lives.. Something like this can cause panic and despair that could last months until they can clear a neg test themselves.. How much of ones life can be effected in that time? The damage to one's personal life as well as professional could be catastrophic. HIV poz men should disclose before sexual activity end of story. If I were POZ I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I were so careless as to wait until after sex to inform my partner.
In a perfect world, HIV Positive men should disclose their status before sex (even with a condom, they do break) and HIV Negative men should ask about their partners status (and assume that their partners may not tell them the truth)... I think the real question is... which is worse... knowing that you have put yourself at risk for infection or been infected... or knowing that you are putting someone else at risk for infection or infecting someone else. Each individual will have to answer that question.
I am negative and in my 50s. I have had an active sex life since 1983 and have lived exclusivelsy in NYC and Los Angeles... I have either disclose my status quickly or if not then I assume that they are positive. In either case... I use condoms when I have sex for sport... the only time I have not used condemns is when I have been in long term relationships... all relationships take communication and I tend to talk (and listen) alot. I think having some common sense, self esteem and learning to tolerate my fear of rejection (HIV positive guys are not the only one rejected when disclosing their status) were more important than condoms in keeping me HIV negative.
Remaining HIV negative is my responsibility...
If I were HIV positive... I am not sure I could live with myself if I infected someone else. I lived through the time when there was no treatment and saw too many of my friends die of AIDS. I also have many friends living with HIV now and know the toll that it takes on their lives. The amount of guilt I would feel condemning someone else to that existence would be high... and I would hope would overcome any fear of rejection I might have in disclosing my status... because condoms break... and I know they break because I have been using them for 30 years...
I very much loved this article...alot of people w o this virus dnt understand the pressures involved w living w it everyday of their lives..the dr appointments the having to take the meds and of course the having to b honest about their status. ive been living w hiv for almost 5 yrs now ive gotten where im quickly upfront about it to others but it still can b difficult choosing the proper time to disclose it. this has me thinking bak to how i got infected. its a messy story..suffice to say I was drugged and made the meat of a party w 2 other guys that I didnt have any intention of having sex w when I went to go hang out w them. they r the villainous type..they dnt care who they give this virus to and what carnage they leave their victims in. im just one of god knows how many theyve both done this 2. so I have to say parker did the right thing..even tho he didnt disclose at first he still took steps to b safe and protect nathan and he still did the right thing and was honest. Ive always said after what happened to me that dear god ik its hard to tell others about this virus when u have it but if u cant tell others then at least just take means to protect your partner. if the 2 that did whatt they did to me w o disclosing at least protected me from this virus I woulda understood in retrospect and been thankful they at least kept me safe. uk this goes deeper and Ik im rambling but it really irks me how the neg community is always so focused on us poz people and they have this huge fear about us giving it to them and freak when we tell them...well what about what they might have? like whens the last time they were tested for anything at all..most ive encountered like that dnt get tested at all. dear god what if they gave us poz guys something else by accident? at least people like parker and I had the courage to get tested and do something responsibly to control this virus and protect others. also when ive been turned down bc of being honest about my status..people will go on to another and just take their word for it that they r clean and thro themselves into unprotected sex and then look down on people like me parker and many others who r honest. so I agree its importantt that yes we do need to take a look at what is really the real criminal activity. thanks aggain for posting this article.
What's with this "villain" language? Unless someone knowingly infects someone, say by lying about their status in the first place, no one is a "villain." Shame on you for perpetuating such stigma.
Great essay - and by the way, people on treatment are not infectious; so what is the problem? Why all the talk of morals in the first place, we are not that dangerous, guys :-)
Disclosure is a personal journey, if we all promote and support safe sex there will be no problem. It's the no condom issue that is the villain.
Bingo, Jeff. While disclosure is fine (and in many places legally required of poz guys), safer sex--that is, the consistent use of condoms for penetrative sex--is ultimately the answer, just as it always has been. Were we to stick with that, villains, blame games, stigma and even HIV itself would all begin to fade away.
A person that is positive and KNOWS it should ALWAYS disclose their status. If they cant handle the potential rejections maybe its time to stop having sex all together. Its tragic, but you have a responsibility NOT to run around purposefully spreading your disease!!! If you do not tell someone your status, you are robbing them of a choice. ANYTHINg could be going on where someone decided to have sex with you without protection. You could be tipsy, high, or just naive. Just because someone is naive or tipsy, does not mean they are deserving of anything that comes their way. And im not even calling anyone a villian. But it is your responsibility to inform others of your disease. It is BS to say "well he didnt ask me, so oh well, here take my sickness".
It is BS to say, "I didn't want to get HIV but I was too lazy, too apathetic, too nervous to ask the status of my partner." If you don't want HIV, take responsibility for your own self and ask every time.
I can certainly understand your ignorance since that precisely what this article was written about, although it's sad that you didn't "get" it (must be that it elicited such an emotional reaction that your were unable to understand the point. Most of the poz guys won't--and don't tell you, although YOU bringing it up should be an important piece. Perhaps YOU should stop having sex if not prepared to protect yourself, although most HIV+ men will not infect you. Sounds like you got infected by someone due to your own denial and ignorance, which is YOUR responsibility. Perhaps it's only a matter of time before you get infected by sometime, but you're no innocent victim. I hear these stories from "victims" all the time.
And even when using condoms ANYTHING can happen.
One should assume that everyone is HIV+ when it comes to casual sex! Protect yourself, honestly you can't expect others to look after you!
I agree, people lie. If you don't assume everyone you have casual sex with is HIV Positive and take the necessary precautions, (especially if you do not bring up the subject first, assuming everyone you have sex with will be completely forthcoming), then you are playing Russian Roulette by your own choice.
My research in 2011 indicated that it is the responsibility of the HIV-negative person to maintain his negative status.
what the fuck is up with all the 'victim', 'crime' & 'villain' bullshit in this article? There are, with very rare exceptions, no victims & villains in hiv transmission. Just human beings making less than stellar decisions.
Parker should have disclosed, yes. But Nathan should have equally played his part in bringing the subject up, as the responsibility is shared. And screw all the 1/5-or-maybe-not-if-you're-white crap. If you want to stay negative, assume that any partner you have is HIV+ and take the necessary precautions (condoms or sticking to non-penetrative sex).
BINGO! If Tyler Curry wants to end stigma, he needs to check his own vocabulary and cut the masturbatory linguistic gymnastics. Generally speaking, Gay and Bi men contract HIV because they take poor decisions based on assumptions about risk that are flawed in many ways, period. No bad guys, just guys seeking connection and letting the little head rule the big one.
Yes, Dan is right on. And of all the important truth he has spoken, nothing is more important than what he states in his final sentence:
"If you want to stay negative, assume that any partner you have is HIV+ and take the necessary precautions (CONDOMS or sticking to non-penetrative sex)."
The caps are mine.
Great article. They were both adults. If you ONLY want to have sex with neg men, it is as much your responsibility to ASK as it is the pos guy's to disclose. "Nathan" is the villain of this story! His after-the-fact judgment was self-righteous crap. If you don't ask if is because you don't WANT to know. Any other view is bulls**t!
There are alot of hiv pos out there having sex and not informing except for maybe a statement about symptoms ie recent rash, constant headache, flu sx undiagnosed (to act as if they had informed someone and say they didnt know they were already pos). being in denial for years, See if you wife gets pos (or any partner) and them blame her for giving hiv to you. This may sound nuts but its a real scenario I witnessed. Pos, early diagnosis, treatment, functional cures, new viral load testing and stem cell transplants curing HIV; Things are changing, whether straight or gay.
Sin duda es mucha responsabilidad y ser valientes al declarar que eres VIH positivo antque en un encuentro sexual o lo que fuera en esa situacion , normalmente las pèrsonas asumen aptitudes psicologicas muy propias , y nunca vamos a conocer las intensiones de la gente algunoas actuan con maldad y perjudican a las personas VIH negativas. Por eso la unica alternativa que tenemos es no ser promiscuos y conversar con nuestras pàrejas cuidarnos .
Good story. Undetectable does not mean nonexistent. Undetectable simply means that current methodologies do not include a test that is able to detect viral load at very low levels. For one to believe this means the virus is absent, or that it means transmission is not possible, is foolish. It might mean decreased risk, but is does not mean risk free. I have and will continue to discuss my status with a potential partner. If it makes a difference to him, yes it hurts, but it ultimately saves us both a lot of time.
As well, it's important to note in this regard that, although the virus may have been suppressed to an undetectable level in one's blood (by which viral load is measured), that doesn't necessarily mean that it's been suppressed to the point of being undetectable in one's semen:
Mister doctor....I want scientific data on a person undetectable for sakefof agreement fifteen years. I've would bet large sums of money that my seamen does not have the virus.
Excuse typo... using tablet. My blood and semen are clearly without the virus. Thus I'm in total disagreement with your statement Keith...doctor or not
Read this article. Unless your semen itself is being measured for its viral load, there's no way you can definitively state that the virus is undetectable in your semen as well as in your blood:
I ALWAYS, ALWAYS, disclose my HIV-positive status to any potential sex partner(s) and have been doing so for the 23-plus years since my diagnosis (at present my viral load is still undetectable and my T-helper-cell count is a fantastic 654, up from a mere 70 in 1995, AMEN for that!). To my mind, it is my responsibility to share this incredibly important information with any man I may want to have sex with. This way they have the option of saying yes or no, and regardless of their reaction, I have been honest with them and my mind can be at peace. It will be 26 years this November since I converted to being positive and frankly, I more than likely wouldn't still be here had I selected to not be open and above board regarding my status. I could not live with myself thinking I may have been responsible for exposing another man to this disease, so a few words right off the go will allow my potential partner(s) to decide for themselves as to whether they want to be intimate with me or not. Once this hurdle has been crossed, it's up to us as to what level of sexual intimacy we want to pursue and engage in, but, whatever we do together will definitely be safe and decidedly honest too. Condoms are my friends and always will be...
My daughter is a nurse and she takes all the precautions needed with every patient she treats as if they were HIV+. I you play around you should do the same.
I would be curious what Jack Mackenroth thinks about it. Dies he tell every sexual encounter....I'm positive now screw me? Doubt it. Trust me there still is huge stigma attached. I had boyfriend dump me simply because of my status. Think how that makes a person feel

Sewing machine help!!!!
Re: Sewing machine help!!!!
Your local high school may have a home economics teacher who has a machine you might use at the school. However, I still think that the thread path might be the problem. The thread might not be properly aligned between the discs in the top thread tensioner. As the sewing proceeds, the top thread binds up and the bottom thread then loops due to insufficient tension. Try passing a sheet of paper through the top tensioning discs and play with the drag adjustment to determine if the rubber can still grip the thread in proportion to the dial settings. Finally, as a desperation measure, consider placing a small Velcro patch " sandwich" in the thread path. Try sewing with this additional friction on the thread. Next, place a single drop of a silicone lubricant for the thread to pass through on the Velcro patch. Try again.

Re: Sewing machine help!!!!
I know it's been awhile but I'll throw in my 2 cents. First, I know first hand how frustraiting it can be when you are fighting the sewing machine every step of the way. As if sewing a kite was not difficult enough.
You mention that you've cleaned the bobbin area. Have you removed the bobbin assembly and cleaned it out? I use a cue-tip and some rubbing alcohol. After that, place a drop or two of sewing oil on the racer parts of the assembly. Getting the hook back into he assembly is probably going to be a little tricky but it just takes some trial and error to find the right placement so that the assembly goes back together. It's my opinion this will almost always solve the problem. You can also take some fine emory cloth to the hook and make sure it's smooth. Just a little buffing will work.
Whenever you place the bobbin in the holder make sure the thread is always going the same way. Starting tension should be set by holding the thread with the bobbin hanging. A _slight_ dip and pull up motion should allow the thread to slide just a few inches. You should also start with the machine thread tension at the 2 setting. Sew for a good 20 inches (it make jam in the mean time but correct and keep sewing ). Move the machine tension up 1/2 numbers to see if things get better. Also try pulling the upper and lower thread to see if they feel close to the same tension.
You can also try changing the needle a couple of times. Go with a different brand as well. Needles are not created equal and in a pack one might not have been formed correctly. Also try a few different size needles. This can make a difference depending on the distance between the hook and the needle. Changing sizes can help compensate for this distance.
I've never done it but I hear that setting the timing is tricky and takes some time. I'd say $100 for this serve is reasonable. However, I'd not spend $100 on a $60 machine. You can buy another machine for $100? If so, I'd say it's a gamble on what condition it's in. Certainly a $60 machine can work very well, it might be worth wild to spend $150 or $200 on a good machine.

Re: Sewing machine help!!!!
You may want to contact Dave Colbert, I think he lives in your area. If you don't have his number, contact your RD for that info, or check the AKA member list for others that live in your area.
All of us are trying to troubleshoot from afar.
would you local dealer loan you a machine, say as a test drive before buying another one?
Good luck!

Rafael continues to successful comeback, Winning Indian Wells title with a victory over J.Martin Del potro
Congratulations to Rafa fans :)
Yes, I agree! Rafa is absolutely king of the caly!
Rafael Nadal believes that Grigor Dimitrov will one day rise into the Top 10 of the Emirates ATP Rankings.
Speaking after he won their Monte Carlo Rolex Masters quarter-final on Friday, Nadal said, "I always had that feeling. [It] always depends on how he stays mentally, how he's able to keep working hard and improving. But, sure, he's a great player and he has all the shots. He has everything to be a really, really good player. So [it] depends on him.
"[At 21] he has time. He has time to have a great career… It's not like golf, [when] you have 20 or 25-year career. Here our sport is more aggressive for the body, so we aren't that lucky. He still has time and he is doing very well. I saw him play very well in Indian Wells and Miami. He did well here."
Nadal recorded his 45th straight win at the Monte Carlo with a 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 win over Dimitrov. Nadal lost a set for just the seventh time in nine years at the Monte-Carlo Country Club.
At 4-4 in the deciding set, the eight-time reigning champion admitted, "I was nervous. I accepted that my opponent was playing well and I tried to find a solution to win. Finally, I was lucky. I found a solution at the right time."
Maria Sharapova was never against Nadal as a tennis player. She has a lot of respect for him as a tennis player.
I think it is not the role of the journalists to ask to Maria this kind of question: would you like to go out with Nadal if he invites you ?
It is an idiot question from a journalist because Nadal himself should have asked Maria this kind of question. If Nadal didn't ask her this question that means he was not interested in Maria Sharapova. So why do people want Maria Sharapova to be interested in Nadal ?
I think that Maria Sharapova's answer is clear. Nadal is not her type.
Woow, what a match it will be!! Nadal vs Federer
Nadal will play against Roger in Rome final match! It will be absoletely a great match, Nadal and Roger's match is always amazing!
Hope to see a good match by both
Congratulations Rafa! He beat Roger in 2 sets and with great scores, 6-1 6-3
He is really unbeatable in clay! In face, Rafa is King of the Clay
Rafa should wear leather gloves if he has blisters on his fingers.
Golf players use thin leather gloves to avoid blisters.
No comment ! ;)
Happy Birthdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Rafa :) Wish you all the best :)
WOW! 8 Roland Garros trophies ! Where do you keep them Rafa? :D Congratulations
Big story started on 2005 and still continues ...
Congratulations King!
Clay court is just for Nadal!
Maybe Rafa has a certain room for them... a room for Roland Garros trophies! :D
