Frightening isn’t it? Do they continue working in porn movies?
The newly released data bring the number of HIV cases in porn performers in the last five years to 22, including the case disclosed this week.
The report — and what state and county health officials perceive as stonewalling by the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation, which tests porn performers for sexually transmitted diseases — is bringing renewed scrutiny to the estimated $12-billion-a-year industry’s long history of resisting regulation and condom use.
“AIM Healthcare has never been cooperative with us and our investigations,” said Dean Fryer, a spokesman for the state Division of Occupational Safety and Health. So far, the San Fernando Valley-based clinic has declined to tell county or state officials the name of the performer or her employer.
“You’d think they’d want to be a full partner in trying to prevent the spread of this disease,” said Dr. Jonathan Fielding, health officer for Los Angeles County.
The performer first tested positive June 4, said Dr. Colin Hamblin, AIM’s medical director. She worked the following day — June 5 — for reasons Hamblin said are still being investigated. A second positive result came back June 6. And the clinic is awaiting results of a third and final confirmatory test, he said.
Porn stars defend industry amid HIV controversy
“I don’t think there’s a problem right now,” said actor, producer and director Jules Jordan. “It’s like people who do stunts in Hollywood. There’s a risk in anything you do.”
Jordan said he does not use condoms in filming because “it takes away the whole fantasy.”
Muahahahaha!
The weather in Singapore has been extremely hot and humid recently. Some time I just cannot tahan the heat. It is very very very HOT. There are a few things that I do to “cool” myself:
1. Head over to the neighbourhood library. This is my 1st choice. It is free (maybe you need to pay for transport to get there of cause if you don’t stay nearby the library), the toilets there are free, the seats there are free (you don’t have to buy a cup of drink in order to sit/rest there), the power supply there is also free. But, the competition nowadays is very fierce. Most of the time when I reached there in the afternoon, there is no more seat next to power plug available. If I am luck I may get one. But never mind, I can survive with my netbook/laptop battery. The only thing I am not comfortable with is that I alwasy don’t feel safe to go toilet or makan alone, leaving my netbook/laptop on the seat. I will suggest going with a friend together, so that you have someone to take care of your stuffs when you are away, and vice versa.
2. Swimming pool. This is not free if you are staying in HDB like me. I start to envy my colleague who stay in condo. He literally walks to his “backyard and jump into the pool” everyday…….
3. Office. the hot weather is making me to love my office more and more. I seriously don’t like to go out out for lunch under this hot and bitter sun. I would have called for food delivery every working day if not for the fact that it is too expensive. And I am willing to stay late in office to clear my work which I will normally do in the next day, just to enjoy the aircon a little longer.
4. Go shopping. If you have the money to burn, go shopping in any shopping mall. You can enjoy all the cold air there. Some more, now is GSS!
5. Cafes, bistro, foodcourts, fastfood restaurants, ect. Most of these places are air-conditioned. As long as you buy a cup of drink, or some food there, you can enjoy your time there. But I will try to avoid those that are very crowded. I don’t feel comfortable, and don’t want to disturb their business as well. I find the Kopitiam at Century Square not bad. It is normally not crowded.
6. Ikea Tampines maybe a good choice for those who stay in the east. The parking is free, there are shuttle bus from Bedok, Tampines and Sengkang MRT station. If you are a Ikea Member with the OCBC Ikea card, you are entitled for 2 free drinks some more!
7. Travel. A trip to Hokaido maybe? I think even a short trip to Genting Highland, Cameron Highland will be refreshing.
8. Maybe, it is time to have an aircon in your room now……
Tell me what do you do to cool yourself!
It has been reported in Straits Times that Singapore Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Education Minister Ng Eng Hen, Acting Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts Lui Tuck Yew, and Senior Parliamentary Secretary Masagos Zulkifli, who are accompanying MM Lee Kuan Yew for a week-long visit in Malaysia now, have been brought to a Nasi Kandar stall in Ipoh by Menteri Besar of Perak, Zambry Abdul Kadir.
It got me curious, which Nasi Kandar stall is that? So delicious, and famous? Based on the report on Sinchew Daily, the Indian Muslim stall is in a Chinese run coffeeshop called Yong Suan Coffee Shop (永泉茶室), located Jalan Yang Kalsom. A Google search on “Yong Suan, nasi kandar” gave me very positive response. Seems like this is a very old, yet famous shop in Ipoh. The Nasi Kandar there is kind of a “must-eat” for people who visit Ipoh.
Yong Suan Coffee Shop address: 2, Jalan Yang Kalsom, 30250 Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia.
Some reviews on this Nasi Kandar that I found online:
Nasi Kandar Yong Suan @ Jln Yong Kalsom, Ipoh
Nasi Kandar Ayam Merah Ipoh
Food, glorious food in Ipoh
Nasi Ganja – Addictive as Marijuana

I chanced upon this thread, [SERIOUS] Charity Donations for Charmaine. Bravo to the folks at EDMW, shows that it is not just talk cock sing song plus one only over there.
It is about a little girl called Charmaine who is diagnosed to be suffering from a rare cancer. For more details, you can read the article run by The New Paper, ‘Yes mum, I’ll fight monster’.
Our Feisty Princess is a site created by friends of Cynthia, Charmaine’s mother, to appeal for helps. They have suggested a few way to help little Charmaine to raise fund. Do have a look over there if you would like to help.
Feisty Princess Charmaine is little Charmaine’s blog.
You can also leave your name and amount of donation that you wish in the above mentioned EDMW thread. The thread will last for a week, then the thread starter will contact each individual to seek out ways of collecting the amount.
Our just to spread the news to help, have the following on your side bar:
WTH! Is this for real?
Can he claim insurance? Considered “Accident’? Or “Act of God”?
The odds of it happening are astronomical, but not impossible, as one schoolboy found out when he was struck by a passing meteorite.
The rock flew down from space at speeds of 30,000mph, and grazed past 14-year-old Gerrit Blank as he made his way to school.
The meteorite continued on before ending its billion-year intergalactic journey on the pavement, leaving a smoking, foot-wide crater.
Gerrit was left with a scar on his hand, making him one of only a handful of people to have been struck directly by a meteorite.
The student, from Essen, Germany, said: ‘At first I just saw a large ball of light, and then I suddenly felt a pain in my hand.
‘Then a split second after that there was an enormous bang like a crash of thunder.’
The rock would originally have been a lot larger, but would have burned up in the atmosphere as it fell to Earth. Most ‘shooting stars’ burn up completely before they hit the ground.

Does it look unusual to you? Not at all right?
What if I tell you that it is actually the unique username of a Facebook user?
Facebook started allowing users to register their unique username today, and many have done so. However, I think the folks at Facebook could never expect someone would be so creative to register her unique username as “default.aspx”. Isn’t it funny? Facebook, you have been pwned!
