Best toe forward
Triumph has mingled with controversy at yet another world class sporting tournament.
Allegations of gamesmanship marred some bouts at the ninth annual World Toe-Wrestling Championships.
The arena for the competition was Ye Olde Royal Oak Inn, at Wetton, Staffordshire, which has hosted the tournament since the 1970s.
Organisers admit the competition was created in a desperate bid to find a sport which England could win.
George Burgess, president of the World Toe-Wrestling Organisation, said: "It was dreamed up in the pub in the early 1970s by a group of walkers.
"They were lamenting the fact that England didn't win anything, so they wanted to come up with a sport that nobody else played."
Players must force their fellow competitor's foot to the side, in a fashion similar to arm wrestling.
Crown regained
But they must remain seated while keeping their non-playing leg off the ground.
The atmosphere became heated when players were seen to be pulling their toes away seconds before the crucial toe-down moment.
Alan 'Nasty' Nash came through a hotly contested final to claim the men's title for the fifth time.
Mr Nash, from Stoke-on-Trent, said: "I came here to regain my crown.
"I knew I was going to win and I was not going to settle for second place."
Both he and women's champion Karen 'Kamikaze' Davies, from Sheffield, won shields and a year's supply of Ben and Jerry's ice cream.

Medical Editor: John P. Cunha, DO, FACOEP
Emsam (selegiline transdermal system) is an antidepressant used to treat major depressive disorder in adults. Common side effects of Emsam include dizziness, drowsiness, application site reactions (redness, irritation, or itching), tiredness, weakness, problems sleeping (insomnia), constipation, diarrhea, upset stomach, dry mouth, headache, muscle pain, bruising, itching or rash, cough, sore throat, sinus pain, or stuffy nose. You may have thoughts about suicide when you first start using an antidepressant such as Emsam, especially if you are younger than 24 years old. Tell your doctor immediately if this occurs.
The recommended starting dose and target dose for Emsam is 6 mg/24 hours. The patch should be applied to dry, intact skin on the upper torso (below the neck and above the waist), upper thigh or the outer surface of the upper arm once every 24 hours. Many other medicines can interact with Emsam, causing serious medical problems. Tell your doctor all other prescription and over-the-counter medications and supplements you use. Emsam should be used only when prescribed during pregnancy. It is unknown if this medication passes into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breastfeeding.
Our Emsam (selegiline transdermal system) Side Effects Drug Center provides a comprehensive view of available drug information on the potential side effects when taking this medication.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Report any new or worsening symptoms to your doctor, such as: mood or behavior changes, anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, or if you feel impulsive, irritable, agitated, hostile, aggressive, restless, hyperactive (mentally or physically), more depressed, or have thoughts about suicide or hurting yourself.
Remove the skin patch and get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of dangerously high blood pressure:
- sudden and severe headache, blurred vision, buzzing in your ears, anxiety, confusion;
- sweating, nausea, neck stiffness, chest pain, feeling short of breath; or
- fast or pounding heartbeats, fluttering in your chest.
Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- pain or burning when you urinate;
- swelling in your hands or feet; or
- problems with speech or balance, seizure (convulsions), sudden numbness or weakness (especially on one side of the body).
Less serious side effects may include:
- redness or itching where the patch is worn;
- mild headache, muscle pain;
- diarrhea, constipation, upset stomach, dry mouth;
- sleep problems (insomnia);
- mild bruising, itching or rash; or
- cough, sore throat, sinus pain or stuffy nose.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Read the entire detailed patient monograph for Emsam (Selegiline Transdermal System)
The premarketing development program for EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) included selegiline exposures in patients and/or normal subjects from two different groups of studies:702 healthy subjects in clinical pharmacology/pharmacokinetics studies and 2036 exposures from patients in controlled and uncontrolled major depressive disorder clinical trials. The conditions and duration of treatment with EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) varied and included double-blind, open-label, fixed-dose, and dose titration studies of short-term and longer-term exposures. Safety was assessed by monitoring adverse events,physical examinations, vital signs,body weights, laboratory analyses,and ECGs.
Adverse events during exposure were obtained primarily by general inquiry and recorded by clinical investigators. In the tables and tabulations that follow, standard COSTART terminology has been used to classify reported adverse events. The stated frequencies of adverse events represent the proportion of individuals who experienced,at least once,a treatment-emergent adverse event of the type listed.An event was considered treatment-emergent if it occurred for the first time or worsened while receiving therapy following baseline evaluation.
Adverse Findings Observed in Short-Term Placebo-Controlled Trials
Adverse Events Associated with Discontinuation of Treatment
Among 817 depressed patients who received EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) at doses of either 3 mg/24 hours (151 patients), 6 mg/24 hours (550 patients) or 6 mg/24 hours,9 mg/24 hours,and 12 mg/24 hours (116 patients) in placebo-controlled trials of up to 8 weeks in duration, 7.1% discontinued treatment due to an adverse event as compared with 3.6% of 668 patients receiving placebo. The only adverse event associated with discontinuation, in at least 1% of EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) -treated patients at a rate at least twice that of placebo,was application site reaction (2% EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) vs.0% placebo).
Adverse Events Occurring at an Incidence of 2% or More Among EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) -Treated Patients
Table 2 enumerates adverse events that occurred at an incidence of 2% or more (rounded to the nearest percent) among 817 depressed patients who received EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) in doses ranging from 3 to 12 mg/24 hours in placebo-controlled trials of up to 8 weeks in duration. Events included are those occurring in 2% or more of patients treated with EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) and for which the incidence in patients treated with EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) was greater than the incidence in placebo-treated patients.
Only one adverse event was associated with a reporting of at least 5% in the EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) group, and a rate at least twice that in the placebo group,in the pool of short-term,placebo-controlled studies: application site reactions (see Application Site Reactions, below). In one such study which utilized higher mean doses of EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) than that in the entire study pool, the following events met these criteria: application site reactions,insomnia,diarrhea,and pharyngitis.
These figures cannot be used to predict the incidence of adverse events in the course of usual medical practice where patient characteristics and other factors differ from those that prevailed in the clinical trials. Similarly, the cited frequencies cannot be compared with figures obtained from other clinical investigations involving different treatments, uses, and investigators.The cited figures, however, do provide the prescribing physicians with some basis for estimating the relative contribution of drug and non-drug factors to the adverse event incidence rate in the population studied.
Table 2. Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events: Incidence in
Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trials for Major Depressive Disorder With EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system)
|Body System/ Preferred Term
|(% of Patients Reporting Event)
|Body as a Whole
|Dry Mouth
|Application Site Reaction
|1Events reported by at least 2% of patients treated with EMSAM are included,except the following events,which had an incidence on placebo treatment ≥ EMSAM: infection, nausea, dizziness, pain, abdominal pain, nervousness, back pain, asthenia, anxiety, flu syndrome, accidental injury, somnolence, rhinitis, and palpitations.
Application Site Reactions
In the pool of short-term, placebo-controlled major depressive disorder studies, application site reactions (ASRs) were reported in 24% of EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) -treated patients and 12% of placebo-treated patients.Most ASRs were mild or moderate in severity. None were considered serious. ASRs led to dropout in 2% of EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) -treated patients and no placebo-treated patients.
In one such study which utilized higher mean doses of EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) ,ASRs were reported in 40% of EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) -treated patients and 20% of placebo-treated patients.Most of the ASRs in this study were described as erythema and most resolved spontaneously, requiring no treatment. When treatment was administered, it most commonly consisted of dermatological preparations of corticosteroids.
Male and Female Sexual Dysfunction with MAO Inhibitors
Although changes in sexual desire,sexual performance,and sexual satisfaction often occur as manifestations of a psychiatric disorder,they may also be a consequence of pharmacologic treatment.
Reliable estimates of the incidence and severity of untoward experiences involving sexual desire, performance, and satisfaction are difficult to obtain, in part because patients and physicians may be reluctant to discuss them.Accordingly,estimates of the incidence of untoward sexual experience and performance cited in product labeling are likely to underestimate their actual incidence.Table 3 shows that the incidence rates of sexual side effects in patients with major depressive disorder are comparable to the placebo rates in placebo-controlled trials.
Table 3. Incidence of Sexual Side Effects in Placebo-Controlled
Clinical Trials With EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system)
|Adverse Event
|Abnormal Ejaculation
|Decreased Libido
|Decreased Libido
|There are no adequately designed studies examining sexual dysfunction with EMSAM treatment.
Vital Sign Changes
EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) and placebo groups were compared with respect to (1) mean change from baseline in vital signs (pulse, systolic blood pressure,and diastolic blood pressure),and (2) the incidence of patients meeting criteria for potentially clinically significant changes from baseline in these variables.In the pool of short-term,placebo-controlled major depressive disorder studies, 3.0% of EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) -treated patients and 1.5% of placebo-treated patients experienced a low systolic blood pressure,defined as a reading less than or equal to 90 mmHg with a change from baseline of at least 20 mmHg.In one study which utilized higher mean doses of EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) ,6.2% of EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) -treated patients and no placebo-treated patients experienced a low standing systolic blood pressure by these criteria.
In the pool of short-term major depressive disorder trials,9.8% of EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) -treated patients and 6.7% of placebo-treated patients experienced a notable orthostatic change in blood pressure,defined as a decrease of at least 10 mmHg in mean blood pressure with postural change.
Weight Changes
In placebo-controlled studies (6-8 weeks), the incidence of patients who experienced ≥ 5% weight gain or weight loss is shown in Table 4.
Table 4. Incidence of Weight Gain and Weight Loss in Placebo-Controlled
Trials With EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system)
|Weight Change
|Gained ≥ 5%
|Lost ≥ 5%
In these trials, the mean change in body weight among EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) -treated patients was -1.2 lbs compared to +0.3 lbs in placebo-treated patients.
Laboratory Changes
EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) and placebo groups were compared with respect to (1) mean change from baseline in various serum chemistry,hematology,and urinalysis variables,and (2) the incidence of patients meeting criteria for potentially clinically significant changes from baseline in these variables.These analyses revealed no clinically important changes in laboratory test parameters associated with EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) .
ECG Changes
Electrocardiograms (ECGs) from EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) (N=817) and placebo (N=668) groups in controlled studies were compared with respect to (1) mean change from baseline in various ECG parameters,and (2) the incidence of patients meeting criteria for clinically significant changes from baseline in these variables.
No clinically meaningful changes in ECG parameters from baseline to final visit were observed for patients in controlled studies.
Other Events Observed During the Premarketing Evaluation of EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system)
During the premarketing assessment in major depressive disorder, EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) was administered to 2036 patients in Phase III studies.The conditions and duration of exposure to EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) varied and included double-blind and open-label studies.
In the tabulations that follow,reported adverse events were classified using a standard COSTART-based dictionary terminology.All reported adverse events are included except those already listed in Table 2 or elsewhere in labeling, and those events occurring in only one patient.It is important to emphasize that although the events occurred during treatment with EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) ,they were not necessarily caused by it.
Events are further categorized by body system and listed in order of decreasing frequency according to the following definitions: frequent adverse events are those occurring on one or more occasions in at least 1/100 patients; infrequent adverse events are those occurring in less than 1/100 patients but at least 1/1000 patients; rare events are those occurring in fewer than 1/1000 patients.

Drug Abuse And Dependence
Controlled Substance Class
EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) is not a controlled substance.
Physical and Psychological Dependence
Several animal studies have assessed potential for abuse and/or dependence with chronic selegiline administration.None of these studies demonstrated a potential for selegiline abuse or dependence.
EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) has not been systematically studied in humans for its potential for abuse, tolerance, or physical dependence.While the clinical trials did not reveal any tendency for any drug-seeking behavior,these observations were not systematic and it is not possible to predict on the basis of this limited experience the extent to which a CNS active drug will be misused, diverted, and/or abused once marketed. Consequently, patients should be evaluated carefully for a history of drug abuse,and such patients should be observed closely for signs of EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) misuse or abuse (e.g.,development of tolerance,increases in dose,or drug-seeking behavior).

Spain rail crash probe
Investigations are under way into what caused a train to derail in south-eastern Spain on Saturday evening, killing two people.
Twenty-four people were injured, four of them critically, when the train left the tracks near the town of Tobarra, in the Albacete area at about 1900 (1800 GMT).
Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar and Infrastructure Minister Francisco Alvarez Cascos are due to visit the site of the crash later on Sunday.
Some reports said passengers heard a loud bang and then felt carriages bouncing.
The engine, a freight wagon and the first carriage left the rails.
About 30 people were travelling in the passenger carriage that overturned, a spokesman for Renfe said.
Some of the injured had to be freed from the wreckage by emergency workers.
Passengers who were not harmed in the incident were taken to their destination by bus.

UP FIRST: Pines Beach in Fire Island
26 Comments
On Fire Island, not in! Do you have any editors there?
ok so where is the list?? am i missing something? link keeps going back to this page with one pic…
ummmm… the link doesn't go to the list.. FAIL….
uh yeah i don't see the list, brings me back here.
Stupid website! No list!
The list is fixed people!
Very (too) US-centric. Have you checked out Super Paradise beach on Mykonos? The name itself is the gayest name EVER!
How can you possibly list LITTLE TINY beaches like "a section of Rehobeth" etc. and leave out Herring Cove Beach, Race Point, Provincetown Inn and dozens of other smaller beaches in Provincetown, Massachuettes??? You then you have the nerve, or ignorance, to leave Provincetown completely off you list of Featured Gay Cities??? Provincetown and it's beaches is the only 100% gay-dominated city in the world per capita bigger than Wilton Manors. As the Fun Map describes it as "every hotel is gay, every restaurant is gay, every bar is gay, every beach is gay…." NO other city can boast such. Mile for Mile (and that is several miles by several miles) it is the most, biggest, most tourist-drawn gayest city in the world (it is straight-friendly instead of the other way around) especially when place in geographic size next to the "gay sections" of cities you listed: San Deigo, Wilton Manors, Castro District, West Hollywood, etc. do not compare. Give me a break….. your list is shit, you must have been paid off or are completely ignorant! (I don't live in the Northeast but along with many others travel cross-country every year, not just a one shot vacation to some far-flung place in the world, to spend as much time there as possibly, and I have been around the world too but this, as many of us feel, the best spot to spend a gay/gay beach vacation.
ummm, dunno quite how to say this, but although the area at North Bondi is great and very gay and Bondi is a spot that rocks: real groovy etc, the North Bondi Surf Club and the exercise area nearby are hardly our own gay spots. Hot guys of course, and kinda gay-friendly, but for most of the year (ie, non-MardiGras times) it's pretty hetero/metro rather than gay…..
1. How about West Beach in Laguna, CA?
2. A minor quibble, but in general, Brazilian men, straight and gay do not wear "tiny speedos" or speedos/bikini bottoms at all. We wear a boxy cut swim trunk called "sungas". We find them much sexier than the more revealing speedos. Just check out the guys in pix number 2 and 3 – Sungas. Not speedos.
like if queerty even notices the difference
Believe it or not, Peru is becoming a hot gay spot. There is a beach in Northern Peru with miles and miles of virgin white beach. It is in Colan, Peru. Beautiful Exotic Latin Gay Guys. Puerto Vallarta 25 years ago. 🙂
There should be Manuel Antonio beach, Costa Rica.
and Playa del Inglés, Gran Canaria ?
I love how there is not a single black guy in any of the pictures of US beaches, but all the other countries have multiple blacks (except Aussie-ville). Something about the WASPs decedents, you guys sure hate the Afros.
Its just a typical american list! Its just stupid, and its mostly white guys on this pics, and they have also Hilton beach in Tel aviv there, why? its a very tiny smal beach, its hundreds of better beaches in Europe, asia
Wow…you have apparently offended a lot of bitter queens out there. Lighten up bitches. Everyone has their own opinion. You want to list your favorite beaches? Then do it. You don't like this newsletter? Don't read it. My personal favorite gay beach is Little Beach in Maui, HI. It's a mildly strenuous walk through the woods, down Big Beach, and then over an old lava flow, but my husband and I went to only one other beach while on our honeymoon (and left after a couple minutes to go to Little Beach).
very cool that Clifton Third Beach, Cape Town made it onto the list, but there should have been mention of the more cruisy, and nudist, Sandy Bay just three km down the road too !
Provincetown is so 1999 – you need to expand your horizons a bit! Also, NOT every restuarant, hotel and bar is gay in Provincetown – believe it or not there are straight-owned businesses in Provincetown – and they are very tolerant 'cause they will certainly take your money, Honey! And your statement about "100% gay-dominated city" – in what century? The place is fucking boring after 3 days and wicked expensive for what you get! That's why it was probably passed over! Too Bad, So Sad – P'town Passe!!!
So, where the hell do regular looking guys go? Sure didn't see any in those photos.
In addition to there not being few men of color in the US, where are the old farts?
Go ahead. Get your melanoma.
Strictly for the physical beauty of the men, the water, and the setting, West St. beach in Laguna, CA could be on this list. You won't find bars or restaurants here but the variety of men is also awesome.
I think there should be Paradise Beach and Super Paradise Beach en Mykonos, Greece.
That is to bad,Afro men arebthevhottest!!!!!!
ya think? I do not think outside of a few french beaches, and one in Malta, I have ever seen a black man at the beach. I know I dont hate africans, but I also have never had any physical reaction to africans. I suspect we are only attracted to those we liked at the begining..like when you first know you are gay…
north Bondi is the only place I have ever found human excrement on the beach….not my favorite beach at all…
There are a lot of fantastic gay beaches in Europe and Asia 🙂 Enjoy the sun and the beaches where ever you are!

- How to Read a Study Record
Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children, with an annual incidence of 10.5 per million children less than 15 years of age. NB accounts for 15% of childhood cancer deaths. High risk (HR) patients carry a poor prognosis despite treatment with intensive chemotherapy, surgery and/or radiation, autologous bone marrow transplant, and treatment with cis-retinoic acid. New therapies are desperately needed for such patients. Recently, it has been demonstrated that HR NB patients benefit from anti-GD2 antibody therapy which directs the immune system against NB cells. To further explore means of harnessing the immune system to attack NB, the investigators are studying the combination of zoledronic acid (ZOL) and interleukin-2 (IL-2). ZOL has been demonstrated to have direct anti-neuroblastoma effects in laboratory studies. ZOL also augments the production of tumor killing white blood cells called gamma-delta T cells. When used in combination with IL-2, ZOL is capable of eliciting potent anti-cancer effects in patients, in part, via the expansion of gamma-delta T cells. In this present trial the investigators aim to study the tolerability of the combination of ZOL and IL-2 in pediatric NB patients. Patients will also be monitored radiologically for tumor response to therapy. Correlative biological studies will study the ability of this drug combination to elicit the production of NB killing gamma-delta T cells in children.

Further study details as provided by University of Alabama at Birmingham:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Evaluate the safety and toxicity of zoledronic acid and aldesleukin [ Time Frame: 1.5 years ]The NCI Common Terminology Criteria for AEs will be used for reporting & identification of dose limiting toxicities. DLTs will include any grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity not included here: Gr 3 nausea & vomiting & diarrhea, Gr 3 fever, Gr 3 skin toxicity that remains stable & tolerable, or improves with treatment within 24 hrs, Gr 3 neurotoxicity with subjective findings, Gr 4 hematologic toxicity, which improves to at least Gr 2 or baseline pre-therapy values within one week of completing IL2 infusion, Gr 3 performance that returns to 50 or higher before the start of the next therapy cycle.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Evaluate the biologic function of autologous expanded/activated gamma delta T cells in neuroblastoma patients receiving therapy with zoledronic acid and aldesleukin [ Time Frame: 3 years ]The ability of gamma-delta T cells derived from patients' peripheral blood to kill NB cells in vitro will be quantified by standard tumor cytotoxicity assays.
- Evaluate immune phenotype of in vivo expanded/activated autologous gamma delta T cells [ Time Frame: 3 years ]Peripheral blood mononuclear cells will be immunophenotyped by standard conjugation of fluorescent monoclonal antibodies in order to quantify and phenotype patient lymphocytes using flow cytometry.
- To document tumor response in patients with measurable disease. [ Time Frame: 3 years ]Tumor response and progression will be assessed and documented utilizing the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1.
- Determine the ability of in vivo expanded/activated gamma delta T cells to infiltrate neuroblastoma tissue using immunohistochemical techniques when post-therapy specimens are available. [ Time Frame: 3 years ]Patients with known or suspected bone marrow metastasis will undergo bilateral bone marrow biopsies at the beginning and end of the first course of therapy. This tissue will be fixed and processed per protocol (Appendix I) and infiltrating lymphocytes per hpf will be documented under standard microscopy.

A few weeks ago now, I spoke about the star print hoodies that I've seen a few places: Rykiel Homme, Energie and my fave, Pharmacy Industry. Well here's another from Brandish favourite, ASOS.
A star print works brilliantly under jackets and coats and is just the right combination of sophistication and street.
ASOS are also carrying this version in white and grey for a very affordable £25. Their website also tantalisingly shows a black version which must be out of stock. However, I like the white/ ecru version best. It's noice, it's unusual, it's different.

Beaverton residents say they are hurt by a delay in Oregon's domestic partnership law
Several Beaverton gay couples and their supporters were among those who packed The Q Center in downtown Portland during a candlelight vigil the evening of Jan. 2 to lament the delayed domestic partnership law that would have gone into effect that day.
U.S. District Court Judge Michael Mosman reasoned in his court decision Dec. 28 that the risk to the constitutional rights of signers of a petition to refer the law to voters outweighed the possible harm to gay couples by delaying the law until Feb. 1, when another hearing is scheduled.
The Q Center and gay-rights group Basic Rights Oregon organized the vigil, which joined several others across the state, to raise awareness about those they say would be harmed during the delay and any further delays.
'The court got it completely wrong to say that this delay doesn't hurt real people,' said BRO Executive Director Jeana Frazzini.
Kate Dilworth, a special education teacher in Beaverton and Hillsboro, was one of those who stood to speak in front of the approximately 350 supporters, politicians and journalists gathered at the event.
Dilworth is 8-months pregnant and due Jan. 23. Her partner of five years, Maria Webster, said that instead of being able to sign up for a legally-recognized union, she will now have to undergo an expensive adoption process in order to be named a parent to the unborn child.
'Domestic partnerships would have given both of us legal parenthood,' Dilworth said. 'This delay in domestic partnerships deprives our family of this security.'
Webster said the couple planned to have a baby and thought they were lucky that it was going to be due right after the new law was supposed to have taken effect.
'It's a let-down,' Webster said. 'It's very frustrating.'
Real estate broker Randall Smith, also from Beaverton, said he and his partner were also planning on getting a civil union when they became available.
'I think it's only fair that we share that same status as other couples who are life-long committed,' Smith said.
Smith added that he disagrees with opponents of the new law who contend that domestic partnerships - which are only for same-sex couples - are a discriminatory way to give special rights to a small minority.
'I don't look at the basic foundation of having two people wanting to share a life together as a special interest group,' he said.
The event included opportunities for people to share how they were affected by the delay at a table urging attendees to tell their stories.
At the table was Beaverton resident Dawn Holt, who is president of PFLAG Portland (Parents, Friends and Family of Lesbians and Gays).
'I think it's important to put a face on what this law means (by) not going into effect, and how this is going to affect children and families,' Holt said.
She added that her efforts are partly motivated by her 20-year-old son, who is gay.
'When he's at a point that he's in a loving, committed relationship, I want him to have all the rights that my husband and I have,' she said. 'It doesn't make sense to me that he wouldn't.'

Mother's Day Idea...
Are you still wondering what to get Mom for Mother�s Day, but just don�t think flowers alone are going to cut it?
Why not have one of her favorite celebrities send her a video e-card?
The Web site Menforwomennow.com and the Noreen Fraser Foundation are sponsoring free video e-cards featuring some of Hollywood�s biggest male celebrities that take just a few seconds to send.
Featured celebrities include Jack Black, Gavin DeGraw, Jason Segel, Neil Patrick Harris, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Josh Radnor.
But the cards are more than just a way to say �I love you� to mom, they also encourage women to get a mammogram and pap smear, important screenings that can help in the prevention of cancers.

Episode: Smoky
Claire Robinson - Tea Smoked Oysters
One of the best lobster ceviche ever!!Absolutely amazing!!
The space was last occupied by the Bourgeois Pig, which is now just down the street.
If it's a fill-up you're looking for, stop in at Porchetta or Caracas Arepas Bar before your date here, as these are just nibbles, not the main affair.
Forget about parking. You'll never find a spot, and there are no garages.
The ceviche is prepared right before you by the chef. Also worth trying are the oysters--served straight up, or as shooters.
Tuna ceviche (which is really more like tuna tar-tar) is awesome. Skip The salmon/mango ceviche & the Gravity Bong Oysters are gimmicky. But I'll be back to work my way thru ceviche menu.
$1 oysters on Sundays and Mondays. yum.
Awesome wine! Great ceviche!!! Loves it :)
the two tuna dishes are fantastic, and sufficiently different to offer two distinct courses. split them and a bottle of wine with a friend.
Order a dozen oysters at $1 a piece. Finish with a glass of their Pinot Noir. And don't forget the popcorn seasoned with truffle oil.
Lobster ceviche and $1 oysters. AMAZING
Awesome ceviche, great wine, and the coconut rice is out of control
The tuna ceviche has a splendid kick to it. The salmon ceviche was a good mix of sweet and savory. I recommend both with their Sauvignon Blanc.
Specials are consistently the freshest fish availanle in the season, beautifully handled, delicately seasoned, and fucking delicious.
Intimate setting with candle lights and a long bar which provides the only seating. Sunday and Monday features $1 oysters while free truffle popcorn is served all week. Excellent ceviche and wine list

By Patrick Welsh
Three weeks ago, the school system in Alexandria, Va., announced that 80% of the students who were about to graduate from T.C. Williams High School would be going on to college. That's an impressive statistic for a school that is 79% minority, with more than half its kids on a free or reduced-cost lunch program. But when one looks at just what "going on to college" means nowadays — and what it will mean a couple of years from now — we might do well to restrain our applause.
I had great students in my senior English classes this year — kids accepted to Yale, Columbia, the University of Virginia, Wesleyan and other highly competitive colleges and universities. But I also had other seniors whom I still feel guilty about passing, and they, too, are among the 80% whom we boast about going to college.
In fact, it seemed to me that many of our staff beat the bushes to send as many warm bodies as they could on to higher education regardless of whether the students had the skills or motivation to do rudimentary high school work. T.C. Williams is not alone in this drive to move everyone on to college. A new study from the Pew Research Center reports that "freshman enrollment at the nation's 6,100 post-secondary institutions surged by 144,000 students from the fall of 2007 to the fall of 2008. This 6% increase was the largest in 40 years, and almost three-quarters of it came from minority freshman."
Paying customers
The trend is certainly a boon to the education establishment. High schools like mine, always eager for good press, can boast that they have prepared an ever greater percentage of their charges to move on to the halls of academe. And though colleges blame us in the high schools for sending them kids who are woefully unprepared, they blithely pocket the tuition from such students lest they have to downsize and lay off professors and administrators.
But how much students with low skills, little motivation and lousy study habits are going to profit from going to college is not so clear. Over the past five years, I have seen students who didn't have the skills one would expect of a ninth-grader going off to four-year colleges where fewer than 30% of entering freshman graduate.
That means that 70% of the freshman class is likely to end up not with a diploma but a pile of debt. In these days of tight budgets at every level of government, it's also hard to ignore that these schools are heavily subsidized by the federal government.
While T.C. Williams boasts about the 80% going on to college, it makes no effort to track what happens to these kids. Nor does it ask another important question — which is not how many make it through to a traditional college diploma, but how many need to? In a paper about to be released by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Arnold Packer, co-director of the landmark study "Workforce 2000: Work and Workers for the 21st Century," points out that in 2018 — as is the case today — two of three jobs in America will not require either a bachelor's degree from a four-year college or an associate degree from a community college.
Vocational training
Jobs in health care and social assistance, leisure and hospitality, retail trade and so-called middle-skill jobs such as plumbers, electricians, legal assistants and police officers will require job specific licenses or certificates from community colleges or technical institutes, and/or on the job training. In fact, many graduates of four-year colleges are now enrolled in community colleges to get the specific training and licensure for jobs for which college did not prepare them.
And yet we educators — and most parents — keep giving all kids the impression that without a college degree, they will be on a slippery slope to oblivion and poverty. In fact, for the majority of jobs, what will be needed even more than the subject matter we teachers think is so essential will be what Packer calls soft skills. The report "Are They Really Ready to Work," put out by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills and the Society for Human Resource Management, found that the four skills most prized by employers were a work ethic, an ability to collaborate with others, facility in oral communication and social responsibility. "Other than writing and reading English, no academic courses (including mathematics) make the top 10," says Packer.
As an English major with seven years of Latin and four of Greek, I am the last to say that the liberal arts or learning for the sake of learning are a waste of time and money. But given the nature of the market that is developing, for many kids, the liberal arts, in fact the very idea of a four-year college degree, will be taking a back seat to training geared to the jobs that are coming out of this economy.
And that's good news for those thousands of students who graduated from high schools across America this month and are honestly wondering to themselves whether — the encouragement of their teachers notwithstanding — the pursuit of a traditional college degree is the right next move toward a satisfying future.

24th Regiment, Ohio Infantry
United States U.S. Military Ohio Ohio Military Ohio in the Civil War 24th Regiment, Ohio Infantry
Brief History
The 24th Regiment, Ohio Infantry mustered in May 29, to June 17, 1861 at Camps Chase and Jackson. They were mustered out June 17-24, 1864, at Chattanooga, Tennessee. [1]
Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin
Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded. However if you are unsure which company your ancestor was in, try the company recruited in his county first.
Companies by County:
Company A - Many men from Huron and Pickaway Counties.
Company B - Many men from Muskingum County.
Company C - Many men from Columbiana, Erie and Sandusky Counties.
Company D - Many men from Adams County.
Company E - Also known as "Buckeye Guards". Many men from Dayton, Montgomery County.
Company F - Many men fromTrumbull County.
Company G - Many men from Huron County.
Company H - Many men from Cuyahoga County.
Company I - Many men from Hillsboro, Highland County.
Company K - Also known as "Givens Rangers". Many men from Coshocton County.
County listing from Steve Ward's Buckeyes All, Part II Revised, as given on Larry Stevens' web page, 24th Ohio Infantry. (accessed on April 4, 2011)

Vintage Prom Dresses
In the United States, the prom (short for promenade) has been a high-school ritual since the beginning of the 20th century, but it wasn't until the 1950s that proms became more than just an end-of-the-year dance. A combination of postwar prosperity and the increased mobility of teens driving their own cars made the prom a rite of passage, as well as a last chance to leave a favorable impression on one's classmates before everyone went their separate ways to enter the workforce, sign up for the armed services, or attend college.
For 1950s girls attending high-school proms, white cocktail or party dresses were widely embraced, but so were billowy gowns in a range of colors, from pastel pinks to lipstick reds. Regardless of the color, a woven mesh called tulle, usually made from silk, rayon, or nylon and almost always starched, was the prom-dress fabric of choice.
Many prom dresses from this period through the present day have been strapless, held aloft by fitted bodices, some of which were lined and boned. Sometimes a pastel tulle dress would be trimmed with white lace, other times taffeta in a contrasting or complimentary color would be wrapped around tulle at the waist and below the bust to create a form-fitting bustle.
For those not daring enough to go strapless but who wanted the look, prom dresses with thin spaghetti straps were a good alternative. Underneath the skirts of these dresses, young women would often wear petticoats or crinoline. In some cases, cruffled crinoline would be built into the skirt itself to give the garment dimension and body. When worn with ruffled chiffon, the look was a prom classic.
Just about every department store sold prom dresses; you could even pick one up at Sears. Some of the 1950s and 1960s labels that were best known for excelling at the form included Emma Domb, Christian Dior, Mainbocher, and Will Steinman.
Prom dress styles have not changed radically since their heyday in the '50s, but the colors of the dresses have gotten brassier and brighter since the 1980s, as the social stakes associated with proms have increased.
One reason, no doubt, for the increased attention on this single evening in the social calendar has been the attention Hollywood has paid to the event. Prom setting or proms as plot points have found their way into everything from horror films ("Carrie," 1976; "Prom Night," 1980) to sex comedies ("American Pie," 1999). Still, despite all the manufactured pressure, a lot of kids still manage to have a terrific time.

What would you like to do?
Which obeys the octet rule PF5 Cs2 BBr3 CO3 2-?
I know for sure BBr# & PF5 do not obey the octet rule, but i can't remember the rule of isotopes so I can't say for sure whether or not CO3 -2 obeys it or not.
Was this answer useful?
Thanks for the feedback!
Which obeys the octet rule PF5 Cs2 BBr3 CO3 2?
Cs2 and Co3 2 obey the octet rule. the others don't
Is PF5 an exception to the Lewis octet rule?
Yes it is. It has 10 electrons (five valence electrons from phosphorus and five from five fluorine).
Does XeF4 obey the octet rule?
no it does not follow octet rule
Does SiCl4 obey the octet rule?
Yes, it does.
Does BeF2 obey the octet rule?
No, Beryllium is an exception to the octet rule.
Does Bf3 obey the octet rule?
No it is not fully obeying the octet rule. Boron has only 6 electrons (3 own + 3 from each F atom), lacking two for the octet. Fluorine is 3x satisfied, each with 8 electr…ons (each has 7 own plus 1 from boron).
Why BH3 obey the octet rule?
BH3 does not obey octet rule. it has a total of six electrons only. boron has three electrons in the valence shell and it accepts one electron from each hydrogen BH3 is a… planar molecule and is found only in the gaseous state. BH3 dimerises to form B2H6 with 4 terminal hydrogens attached by normal covalent bonds and 2 hydrogen bridges , 3 centre 2 electron bonds. Once again in the dimer it does not obey the octet rule.
Does O3 obey the octet rule?
Yes. One of the "canonical" forms is O=O+-O- Just found a picture that will help see wikipedia article for ozone
Does SeF6 obey the octet Rule?
No. It obeys the octet rule for the fluorine atoms but not for Se (which has 12 electrons in its valence shell.)
Does CO2 obey the octet rule?
Yes both of carbon and oxygen obey the octet rule in CO 2
Does BeCl2 obey the octet rule?
Does C6H12O6 obey the octet rule?
Yes, it obeys the octet rule. (Of coarse not an octet for the H atoms: they are saturated with a duplet (=2)). To show you HOW this is done, you will need the structural f…ormula: If it is a monosaccharide there are already 32 different isomeres. And even one of these and the most common one: alpha-D-gluco-pyranose (which is glucose) is too difficult to draw it in this simple 'html-text editor' layout. Just as example some explaining calculation about electron bonding pairs and free pairs. Valence electrons counting: 6 C = 6x4 = 24 e 12 H = 12x2 = 24 e 6 O = 6x6 = 36 e Total of 84 electrons are available for free or covalent (= bonding) electron pairs (total 84/2 = 42 pairs can be formed) Needed for octets and H-duplets 6 C = 6x8 = 48 e 6 O = 6x8 = 48 e 12 H = 12x2 = 24 e Total needed for octets/duplets = 120. These are 60 'needed to see' pairs C has no free pairs, all 4 are covalent pairs (= 1 octet): 6x4 = 24 covalent bondsO has 2 free and 2 covalent pairs (= 1 octet): 6x2 = 12 covalent bondsH has no free pairs and 1 covalent pair (= 1 duplet): 12x1 = 12 covalent bonds Total of 24 double counted bonding pairs (48 pairs 'seen' from one atom AND 'seen' from the other atom bound to it, called covalent*) electron pairs) One possible structure (which is not glucose) fitting the above calculation (1, 2, 3) is described here: 6 C atoms in a regular (bee hive) ring: 6 covalent pairs 6 H atoms directly to each C: 6 cov. pairs 6 O atom bonded at one side to each C atom: 6 cov. pairs 6 H atoms bonded to the other side of those 6 O atoms: 6 cov. pairs Total of 24 double counted bonding pairs*) between all atoms. This leaves 6x2 = 12 free electron pairs, two per O atom to fulfill their 'octet need' And now you can conclude: 24 double counted = 48 'seen' electron pairs which are covalent*) 12 free electron pairs (2 on each O atom) Total of 60 'structural drawn' pairs, Thus this, being the same as the 'needed to see' pairs (60, see above), means that ALL atoms are obeying the octet (+ duplet) rule. *) covalent means: 'seen by two' atoms which are bound together. (The name of this formula would be 1,2,3,4,5,6-cyclo-hexane-hexa-ol, it isn't even a monosaccharide)
How does oxygen obey the octet rule?
Does SiH4 obey the octet rule?
Yes, SiH4 obeys the octet rule
Does SO4 2- obey the octet rule?
Yes, SO4 2- can be drawn without violating the octet rule. It is also a resonance structure. Here's an illustration below (ignore the dots, it was the only way it posted corre…ctly!): .......O .......| O -- S -- O .......|| .......O Hope this helped!

Laying 18x18" tile. Tips/advice?
Getting ready to lay 18x18 porcelain tile Saturday, have never laid anything bigger than 12x12. Any advice/tips that might differ from 12x12?
Going over concrete in walk-out basement with 3/8" spacers.
Got the $88.00 HD 7" tile saw to work with.
Will about 1/4 stand on the thinset do the trick? How about grouting? Normally I have no reservation about smearing over the whole tile when grouting, is this wasteful on an 18x18?
As always, group help is very much appreciated.
OK, tips for 18" tiles.....
The floor had better be very flat.
You should use a medium-bed thinset mortar, NOT regular thinset. Something like Marble & Granite thinset from HD. :thumbsup:
OH.....and the floor had better be very flat!:thumbsup:
YIKES one of those $88 saws for 18" porcelain no less? :censored:
The trowel should probably be about 1/2x1/2" or thereabouts?
Did I mention the floor had better be very flat? :thumbup:
I already paid for the $5.00/ bag thinset, what exactly is the issue with that? We worked our you-know-whats off with a vinyl stripper and razor scrapers, flat as can be. 1/2" notched trowel is something i would have overlooked, thanks for the advice. Is 3/8" spacer the norm for 18"'s?
Was also under the impression from reviews that the saw woud do a decent job, just not super fast.
One wall of my walk-out is brick, can I just grout right along it, or do you guys reccomend leaving a space and adding trim?Was hoping not to have to put trim on my brick wall.
There is NO $5 thinset that is suitable for porcelain tile, you've got the wrong stuff. Tell me what brand and type it is.
Removing the old floor covering is not what I'm referring to. I'm talking about the slab. It should be as flat as possible, hopefully within 1/8" in 10 ft. of plane.
Three eights gap is kinda wide for me, but maybe if the tile has a rustic motif? The saw might workout for you, especially for a one-time job? A side grinder might also help? I'm used to a pro saw and so I can't imagine using that little thing for 18" porcelain, see how it works.
This is the thinset I have ordered to be delivered, you think I may need to call and get a different kind? This is the stuff I used to lay my last 12x12 ceramic job, seemed to work fine, do you look for something different for porcelain?
CustomBlend Standard Thin-Set Mortar is an unmodified thin-set mortar that offers economy with good bond strengths for basic tile projects and is recommended for floor installations. Good for setting Saltillo and other similar clay pavers. Mix with Acrylic Mortar Admix for best results or when setting dense tile and over EGP plywood, existing flooring and for exterior applications. Meets ANSI A118.1 without additives. Meets ANSI A118.4, A118.11 when mixed with Acrylic Mortar Admix.
I'm guessing this is more along the lines of what I need? How exactly do they differ?
Marble and Granite Fortified Premium Mortar is formulated for installing gauged or ungauged natural stone, tile 12" x 12" or larger, clay pavers, or a medium bed mortar installation. Apply up to 3/4 In. thick on horizontal applications or use as a thin-set mortar as thin as 1/8 In.. Excellent sag and slip resistance. White formulation improves installation of light colored marble. Exceeds ANSI A118.4, A118.11. Polymer-modified for strength, just add water and mix. Eligible for lifetime warranty.
Thanks Bud, upon everyone's advice I called and got my order changed to include a modified thinset fro HD. Please tell me I do not need to add anything to this stuff.
VersaBond Fortified Thin-Set Mortar is a polymer-modified mortar offering strong bonds of a wide variety of tile and stone to floors, walls and countertops. Favored by professionals for its reliability and ease of use. an apply over concrete, cement backerboards, drywall, exterior grade plywood, existing ceramic tile, vinyl flooring and plastic laminates. Suitable for interior or exterior use. Meets ANSI A118.4, A118.11 specifications. Polymer-modified for strength, just add water and mix.
Versabond is a good product, you wouldn't add anything to it. Using additives with already modified thinsets is usually counterproductive.:)
Pssheww!:clap: This project started with a flooded basement, and my pockets are wearing out from reaching in to get my wallet:eek: !
Glad to hear some good news, Thanks Bud:thumbup:
what is your opinion on doing this job with a 7" HD tile saw Bud?
Any tips/difference from 12" tile when it comes to grouting?
It's better and cheaper to spend a little more than the minimum, than it is to spend less than you should and get cheap or the wrong stuff. In other words, there is nothing more expensive than a "cheap job'! Anyway it's your own house and you're saving 50-60% by doing the work yourself.
With the thinset, you had no choice, you would have been removing all those tiles within a short time. But it would have stuck to the slab good enough....lots of wasted $$$ and work.
In addition to this saw do you have a tile cutter? You'll need it for all of your straight cuts and you might want to also buy a side-grinder and a porcelain blade for it too. If the wet saw doesn't work out for you, install all except the L and U cuts, then rent a better saw for a day.
Thanks Jaz, I'm with you on the "spend a little to save alot" theory, I had just never done anything other than a few ceamic jobs over durock and the basic thinset worked perfectly fine. I needed some schooling in the ways of the porcelain. I do have a good quality straight scorer, I can assume you're saying that these work ok on porcelain?
Do I have any concerns about the grout discoloring the porcelain?
Is it safe to assume you can pretty much grout just like ceramic?
Thanks for all of the help from the group, this is a fabulous resource of very helpful folk.
FWIW: That $88 saw is crap for what you are wanting to do, I doubt it will cut 18" porcelain for very long. You would be netter off to spend twice as much at the very least. You can always sell the saw when you are done.
Grouting in the same process basically no worries there. Porcelains have been known to stain from the grout bvut if you'll smear the entire surface you won't notice any staining.:)
Thanks for the opinion Bud, plan on doing most of my straights with a scorer, (am going to test the saw on straights to see how it will do) just didn't want to hassle with renting a saw or running all of them back up to HD to have the notched cuts done.
What is your opinion on grouting right up to brick? 1 out of my 4 walls in a walk-out is brick, was hoping to go right up to it so I would not have to put down trim.
Have ripped up the underlay and vinyl in laundry , and kitchen; and have just removed 8x8 ceramic and underlay from entrance and small bath.
This is first tiling project.
I have the 13x13 tile.
HD rep suggested
Flexbond Fortified Thin Set Mortar with 1/4 x3/8 trowel. We are planning on 3/16 spacers.
Not sure where this fits with B Parker's 18x18 question, but felt it was similar and that's why it's here.
Any advice is welcome.

Mercedes-Benz has taken the wraps off the 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series, which brings even more power to the SLS AMG range.
Under the hood the SLS AMG Black Series is powered by a 6.2L V8 that packs 622 horsepower compared to the 583 horsepower in the SLS AMG GT. Mercedes-Benz was able to squeeze out more power from the V8 thanks to new camshafts and air intakes that give the engine better breathing and improved oil and water cooling. Even though the V8 packs more horsepower, its torque is down to 468 lb-ft.
The SLS AMG Black Series is also 154 pounds lighter than the SLS AMG GT. Combined with the more powerful V8, the SLS AMG Black Series reaches 0-62 mph in 3.6 seconds and has a top speed of 196 mph. The SLS AMG Black Series also gets wider front and rear tracks and rides on 20-inch alloy wheels.
Inside the SLS AMG Black Series Mercedes-Benz has removed the COMAND multimedia system to save weight, which is replaced by a lighter carbon fiber dash.
Sales of the 2014 SLS AMG Black Series will kick off next summer, but it will have its world debut at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show later this month.

New Delhi, Nov 12 (UNI) The sealing issue dominated the ninth session of the Delhi Legislative Assembly, which concluded here on Friday.
The issue dominated proceedings of the House whether in the form of the Opposition-sponsored No Confidence Motion against the Sheila Dikshit Government or the Resolution brought by the state Government urging the Centre to stop the sealing drive immediately till the finalisation of the Master Plan 2021.
Further, the questions, special mention and other matters raised in the House were related to sealing.
The issue held centrestage right from the opening day of the session on October 30 when Leader of the Opposition in the House Jagdish Mukhi gave a notice for No Confidence Motion against the state Government.
The discussion on the Motion started on October 30, immediately after obituary references to renowned Shehnai Vadak Ustad Bismillah Khan, former Lt Governor P K Dave and ex-MLA Jagdish Anand, and concluded on November 1 with the defeat of the Motion.
It is the first time in the history of the State Legislative Assembly that such a long debate was held on any No Confidence Motion. About 30 members participated in the discussion.
On November 1, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit moved a resolution in the House urging the Union Government to stop the sealing drive in Delhi till the finalisation of the Master Plan 2021. The resolution also requested the Urban Development Ministry to finalise the Master Plan at the earliest and to move the Supreme Court to suspend operation of its orders till the notification of the Master Plan 2021.
However, subsequent to the introduction of the resolution, the Supreme Court passed an order saying that the sealing will not stop.
In light of the order, the Government resolution further pleaded that a scheme for rehabilitation of traders whose shops were being sealed should be announced by the DDA and the MCD.
''More market areas, including space for hawkers and vendors, should be made available, more parking areas should be made available and for negative traders, special areas should be made available at the earliest,''the Government resolution said.
The resolution was accepted by the House on November 7.
