Will they gawk at your backpack?
Did you know there are several great nets every portable operator can check into on Saturday afternoon at the Dayton Hamvention? Ever worked a bunch of ancient 80meter AM phone HTs? How about classic mil FM 6meter packsets? Enjoy the fun, with the rest of the HFpack group while walking around the flea market on Saturday... Mark KI0PF gives you the inside scoop, in this next article.
Operating the Hamvention Saturday Afternoon
Pedestrian & Portable Nets
an article by
Mark Francis KI0PF
HFpack Net Control
and author of the book:
12:00 Noon is the AM Net on 3885kc AM.
.. Any radio is okay, as long as the mode is good olde
Amplitude Modulation
. Vintage military gear (any country of origin) is especially appreciated.
Joe WA4VAG will be Net Control
, operating from his space (usually 3415). After the QSO, gather at his space for pix and ratchet-jawing. Those of you who are /PM (pedestrian mobile) during any of these nets,
please try not to converge on the net control gathering spot until after the net check-ins are done
[spread out... try walking around the flea market during the net] Mass de-sensing is not the object here :)
At 1:15PM of course, the HFpack Net is on 18157.5kc USB
Net Out-Of-Control
yours truly for this one! If we happen to get hammered by QRM (you never know -- the bands are getting better), we'll use the alternate of 18117.5 USB.
At 2:30PM the Cold War Net is on 51.0Mc/s FM
. Wideband or narrowband, we'll figure it out.
Net control will be John K9WT
. This net is primarily for military FM sets (any country of origin) from the Cold War period. Any radio that can hit 51.000MHz on 6 meters with an understandable sig is welcome [such as FT-817, IC-703, or HTs], and the older FM mil stuff is always appreciated.
Meet back at Joe's spot (around 3415) afterwards for yet more pix and swapping of lies if yer batteries (camera, radio, and tall-tale) haven't gone kaput by this time.

HFpack Welcomes All New HF Operators
We are now witnessing one of the largest increases in HF portable operators in ham radio history in the past 50 years.
The number of hams trying out portable HF is growing rapidly.
This is t
he start of a huge boost to a new generation of HF amateur radio operators...
breathing new life into amateur radio for 2012!
Many operators and new hams have expressed their joy in finally being able to join the ranks of HFpack on HF, and are planning to take the tests for higher licenses.
In the longstanding Amateur Radio and HFpack tradition, experienced HF ops will help and encourage our new wave of HF operators. Let's all show a wholehearted
HFpack welcome... on the HF bands, on QRS CW, and with Elmer help on the group forums. Let's make 2009 a great year of growth for HFpack and ham radio!
HFpack Antenna Shootouts
HF Portable Antennas
are a big part of the HFpack scene. The HFpack HF Portable
Antenna Shootouts
compare a variety of HF antennas for maximum gain and performance in the typical HF Portable Antenna environment, applicable to QRP and QRO power levels. The HFpack Antenna Shootouts have become a standard benchmark for HF portable and QRP operators. HFpack
is dedicated to furthering the state of the art for portable HF antennas and communications. For the QRP antenna ham operator, it is important to get the maximum signal radiated. Also, for QRO emergency portable operations, the antenna efficiency for a small antenna that can be set up on site is crucial to dependable HF and NVIS (Near Vertical Incidence Skywave) regional communications. A pedestrian antenna is an antenna that may be carried easily and set up quickly by the operator. The HFpack
Pedestrian Shootouts measured pedestrian HF antenna systems to a fraction of a decibel, and the reports are presented as a service to radio operators around the world.

Ancient Psychic Propagation Predictions came true in 2010-2014!
Back in 2009, what was predicted for our future? Read on...
by Bonnie Crystal KQ6XA
My prediction visionary credentials are humble; as an oracle, I carry the burden of The Transmission Of The Esoteric High Frequency Dharma, having been passed down to me in secret ceremonies through the unbroken lineage of Great HF Oracles, witnessed by The Ancient Order Of The High Frequency Nuns, in the innermost faraday anechoic chambers of the exalted stone observatory overlooking the ionosphere.
For Year 2010 I henceforth predict...
Good News for Solar Cycle 24
In our great and long HF journey of lifetimes... having passed our darkest hour in March 2009; having dwelt in the deepest chasm of the second valley of the bottom of Olde Sol 23; from this point into future years of four; we shall venture upward on the Slope of Flux!
Joy and Relief in March-May 2010
We shall climb the steep steps of the Mountain Of New Sol 24 together, with ever greater momentum and strength. By the moon of April 2010 we shall reach the average Solar Flux heights of 80 or more! The Fast Tiger of the east shall rise and pounce gracefully upon the waves of 18MHz, yielding a time of spring health among the Strong Portables and Quick Mobiles; The Pedestrians shall play in the meadow again. With each sunset and sunrise, The Pack shall rejoice in the DX of Higher Frequencies, taking leaps and bounds on the trail of double hop. The Guardians of The Towers shall open The High Gates of Ten Metres; The Pedestrians shall tread softly on the sand of the beach in the realm of The Giants of Twenty.
Uncertainty in June-August 2010
By July 2010, the Feeble Bear of the summer west shall obscure the gains of the previous moons; The Portables shall quest for more DX; yet few sweet drops of the Elixir of Great Propagation shall satiate their thirst. Driven from the Highest Bands, The Portables shall again wander the land, seeking nourishment from 14MHz short hops, and taking flight with The Fleeting Bird of trans-equatorial 21MHz multi-hops. In the midst of despair, The Great Clouds Of The Sporadic-E shall unexpectedly appear over the fields, irrigating the planet with ions; strong and powerful voices shall grow, with even the Weakest Of Watts being rewarded on 21MHz and higher!
Greatness in September-December 2010
The eager Fast Tiger shall devour the tired Weak Bear. By November 2010, the Warriors and Sages who fought so triumphantly in the Battle of the Plateau shall find victorious comfort in the multi-hop DX gardens of 14 to 24MHz. Having climbed past the Solar Flux of 90, The Pack shall bask in the light of propagation contentment, feasting daily on the green flora of 18MHz. Mobiles and Portables shall roam the hills, exploring even the peaks of 28MHz. Guardians Of The Towers shall breathe easier, having found solace running barefoot through the wide open 5MHz and 7MHz bands; they shall turn their beams on 21MHz; they shall chase the beast of Spectrum Maximus and slaughter whole bands with Split Rare DX Pileups. The Morsepounders and the Digirati shall seek freedom and fortitude in 10MHz throughout the night, and dream yea verily into the dawn of early morning! The Emcomms shall drink ALE from The Chalice Of The High Frequency.
Fullness Then Bleakness in Years 2011-2020
Year 2011 shall bring more health to The HF Dwellers. The Pack shall climb to reach the Sol 24 Mountain Peak and summit it in 2014; then light shall shine on all who venture forth into HF Wilderness. The mountain peak shall not overlook the summits of past quests. By 2019 the Sojourners of HF shall descend down the path, and shall wallow in the depths of a deep canyon once again. Only the strong and brave shall remain.
Incantation Quatrain of the HF Oracle
Solaris Minimus, Mega Hertzus;
Solaris Maximus, Radiati Potentius!
Longitudis Latitudus, Saltus Aqua Ampliphius;
Altus Frequencius, Ionospheri Reflectus!
...and so it was written, by her hand, on 17 December 2009.

At home, 8,000 miles away
Students from India spend four weeks studying at CSB/SJU
November 19, 2012
By Adam Tucker '14
The College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University offers students the chance to find a "home away from home." For some exchange students that second home just happened to be almost 8,000 miles away from their original home.
For Snehal Kanodia, George Augustine and 10 other students from India who studied on the CSB/SJU campuses for the past month as part of an exchange program with St. Xavier's College in Kolkata, India, the distance has only made their experience better.
"It's been an amazing experience. Classes have been wonderful and the people are so friendly," Augustine said. "It's very different from being home in India, but in a very good way."
The 12 students were hosted by the Center for Global Education as part of a four-week Global Institute Program that is a portion of CSB/SJU's partnership with St. Xavier's College - the location in India where CSB/SJU students in the Office of Education Abroad's India program study.
Despite the cold months of a Minnesota autumn, the St. Xavier's College students kept both warm and busy, many of whom had packed schedules, credit-filled classes and the difficulties of navigating new college campuses for several weeks.
"For me, the best thing to adjust to here is that it's a liberal arts college, because our school back home is not," Kanodia said. "Classes have been interesting, the campus is beautiful, and everything has been very well-planned."
The students in the Global Institute Program are given a compressed form of the CSB/SJU experience - a core colloquium class on American culture and the opportunity to participate in regular CSB/SJU classes, whether or not they are part of that student's intended major.
"The most rewarding part of this for me has been watching them connect with American students and culture," Center for Global Education Program Manager Paula Ramaley said. "But what the St. Xavier's students bring to us and this campus is just as important as what they take away."
For Ramaley, and for the dozens of students who have interacted with the Indian students inside and outside of the classroom for the past few weeks, the experiences have been fruitful.
"They have a different worldview than students here do," Ramaley said. "It has been a great part of internationalizing the campus, and it's been a great experience for everyone."
And for the St. Xavier's students, that liberal arts freedom has been the best part of the entire experience. For some, it's the element they took away from CSB and SJU.
"I like that people here can study biology and art at the same time if they want to," Kanodia said. "The liberal arts experience here is very strong, and taking classes outside my major has been very rewarding and fun."
But for George and a few of the other St. Xavier's students, most of the fun, as well as learning, came from outside of the classroom.
"My favorite part of the trip was the homestay," Augustine said, smiling. "I went deer hunting with the student I stayed with, and we got a nine-pointer. It was amazing."
This type of international experience is not unique to St. Xavier's or even this one program, as CSB and SJU currently boasts five Global Institute programs, a nationally-recognized number of study abroad programs and was awarded the Senator Paul Simon Award for Global Internationalization Nov. 13 in Washington, D.C.
"The global experience is really a critical part of what we do at CSB/SJU," Ramaley said. "Internationalization and globalization in education is essential, and this is just one step in that process."
The students, who departed for Kolkata on Nov. 17, came to call CSB/SJU another home, one they will miss and remember.
"It's ending almost before I had a chance to get accustomed to things, we were just getting into a routine," said Kanodia several days before his departure. "I'll miss all the people we have met, as well as the experiences with students and staff."
Because of the program's desire to give the St. Xavier's students both a cultural and liberal arts experience, some of the students describe interactions with professor and staff as lasting memories.
"There was a class that didn't fit into my schedule, but they made it work for me to take it," Kanodia said. "I can't praise the global education here enough, it's been amazing."
But for others, the friends-and food-they discovered during their time on campus will be the lasting memories they ponder back in India.
What food?
"Bacon," said Augustine with a grin. "I'm really going to miss the bacon here."

Información sobre medicamentos proporcionada por: IBM Micromedex
Etidronate is used to treat Paget's disease of the bone. It may also be used to treat or prevent a certain type of bone problem (heterotopic ossification) after hip replacement surgery or spinal injury.
Etidronate is also used to treat hypercalcemia (too much calcium in the blood) that may occur with some types of cancer.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of etidronate in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of etidronate in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related kidney, liver, or heart problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving etidronate.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
Take this medicine only as directed. Do not take more of it, do not take it more often, and do not take it for a longer time than your doctor ordered. To do so may increase the chance of side effects.
Make sure your doctor knows if your diet includes large amounts of calcium, such as milk or other dairy products, or if you are on any special diet, such as a low-sodium or low-sugar diet. Calcium in the diet may prevent the absorption of oral etidronate.
Take etidronate with a full glass (6 to 8 ounces) of water on an empty stomach at least 2 hours before or after food (mid-morning is best) or at bedtime. Food may decrease the amount of etidronate absorbed by your body.
Do not lie down for at least 30 minutes after taking this medicine, and do not lie down until after you have eaten some food.
In some patients, etidronate takes up to 3 months to work. If you feel that the medicine is not working, do not stop taking it on your own. Instead, check with your doctor.
It is important that you eat a well-balanced diet with an adequate amount of calcium and vitamin D (found in milk or other dairy products). Too much or too little of either may increase the chance of side effects while you are taking etidronate. Your doctor can help you choose the meal plan that is best for you. However, do not take any food, especially milk, milk formulas, or other dairy products, or antacids, mineral supplements, or other medicines that are high in calcium or iron (high amounts of these minerals may also be in some vitamin preparations), magnesium, or aluminum within 2 hours of taking etidronate. To do so may keep this medicine from working properly.
If this medicine upsets your stomach, ask your doctor if you can take two smaller doses instead of one larger dose. Do not change without talking to your doctor.
For treating Paget's disease, you may need to take this medicine for up to 6 months. Then after 90 days of not taking the medicine, your doctor may want you to start another course of treatment.
If you have Paget's disease, this medicine may work slowly, so you may not feel better until you have been using it for awhile. Do not stop taking it without talking to your doctor first. Your body may continue to respond to this medicine for several months after you stop using it.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.
It is important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits even if you are between treatments and are not taking this medicine. If your condition has improved and your doctor has told you to stop taking etidronate, your progress must still be checked. The results of laboratory tests or the occurrence of certain symptoms will tell your doctor if more medicine must be taken. Your doctor may want you to begin another course of treatment after you have been off the medicine for at least 3 months.
This medicine can irritate your esophagus. If you think this medicine has started to damage your esophagus, stop taking this medicine and call your doctor. Some symptoms of damage to the esophagus are heartburn (either new or worse than usual), pain when swallowing, pain in the center of your chest, trouble swallowing, or feeling that food gets stuck on the way to your stomach.
It is important that you tell all of your health care providers that you are taking etidronate. If you are having dental procedures done while taking etidronate you may have an increased chance of getting a severe problem of your jaw.
Make sure you tell your doctor about any new medical problems, especially with your teeth or jaws. Tell your doctor if you have severe bone, joint, or muscle pain while using this medicine.
If this medicine causes you to have nausea or diarrhea and it continues, check with your doctor. The dose may need to be changed.
This medicine may increase your risk of developing fractures. This may be more common if you use it for a long time. Check with your doctor right away if you have dull or aching pain in the arms, legs, or thighs.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
Get emergency help immediately if any of the following symptoms of overdose occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Meet the Designer - Bruce B Tolar
"We believe that the idea of "home" implies more than what is bordered by room dimensions and lot lines. So while we are committed to individual house designs that achieve the highest levels of safety, livability and curb appeal, we want them to perform as building blocks for community, as well."
Architect Bruce B. Tolar, P.A. is an architectural, planning and development firm headquartered on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. From our vantage point at the epicenter of coastal growth during the boom years of the 1980s and 1990s and of disaster recovery in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, we have learned the lessons of quality design from the individual parcel to the neighborhood to the broader community.
Many of our techniques were refined during the go-go years of community development on the upper Gulf Coast from Northwest Florida to Louisiana. We learned how to integrate state-of-the-art custom home techniques with state-of-the-art planning for compact, walkable new towns. Those skills were, in turn, applied to the recovery and rebuilding process after Katrina.
As partners on the team commissioned by the Mississippi Governor's Commission on recovery planning, we helped shape the Katrina Cottage movement, which proposed alternatives to FEMA trailers that could transition to permanent, storm-worthy homes in new or existing neighborhoods. We took on the role of developers for a model neighborhood of Katrina Cottage designs. That Ocean Springs, Mississippi neighborhood "Cottage Square" exhibits 14 units in a two-acre cluster, mixing residential and commercial uses and seven design variations ranging from a 200-square-foot studio to a 1,300-square-foot, two story structure we currently use as our office.
A winner of innovation awards from both the Congress for the New Urbanism and Cottage Living Magazine, Cottage Square is inspiring an expanding list of new cottage neighborhoods that utilize our designs and site plans, often in combination with design and development partners.

Important Information
All sales on house plans and customization/modifications are final. No refunds or exchanges can be given once your order has started the fulfillment process.
All house plans from Houseplans are designed to conform to the local codes when and where the original house was constructed.
In addition to the house plans you order, you may also need a site plan that shows where the house is going to be located on the property. You might also need beams sized to accommodate roof loads specific to your region. Your home builder can usually help you with this. You may also need a septic design unless your lot is served by a sanitary sewer system. Many areas now have area-specific energy codes that also have to be followed. This normally involves filling out a simple form providing documentation that your house plans are in compliance.
In some regions, there is a second step you will need to take to insure your house plans are in compliance with local codes. Some areas of North America have very strict engineering requirements. Examples of this would be, but not limited to, earthquake-prone areas of California and the Pacific Coast, hurricane risk areas of the Florida, Gulf & Carolina Coasts. New York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois require review by a local professional as well. If you are building in these areas, it is most likely you will need to hire a state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings and calculations required by your building department. If you aren't sure, building departments typically have a handout they will give you listing all of the items they require to submit for and obtain a building permit.
Additionally, stock plans do not have a professional stamp attached. If your building department requires one, they will only accept a stamp from a professional licensed in the state where you plan to build. In this case, you will need to take your house plans to a local engineer or architect for review and stamping. In addition, plans which are used to construct homes in Nevada are required to be drawn by a licensed Nevada architect.

Working conditions at the Chinese factories operated by Foxconn, where vast amounts of the gadgets used around the world are made, including Apple's iPhone and iPad, are improving. Granted, that's going from truly terrible to slightly less bad, but it's movement and momentum in a direction decidedly better for the people who make the stuff that we use. That according to Keith Bradsher and Charles Duhigg, writing as part of the New York Times' iEconomy series.
When [Apple senior vice president of operations, Jeff Williams], returned from that March meeting to California, changes began. Among them, say people with firsthand knowledge, was the hiring of roughly 30 professionals into Apple's social responsibility unit in the last year, which tripled the size of that division and brought high-profile corporate activists into the company. Two widely respected former Apple executives — Jacky Haynes and Bob Bainbridge — were recruited back to help lead the unit, reporting ultimately to Mr. Williams and the chief executive, Timothy D. Cook.
The iEconomy series itself seems to have changed as well. Apple isn't in the title of this article. Cynically, it's possible that an article about improvements doesn't benefit as much from the added sensationalism. Optimistically, it's possible that the NYT realized their focus on Apple was undermining the seriousness of the very real problems they're covering. (Though Apple enjoys the positive effects of the massive amount of attention they're given, and being singled out for criticism is the equal and opposite edge of that sword.)
Yet working conditions remain arduous, and problems multifaceted.
But last summer, fed up with the 25-hour train trip to see his family, Mr. Zhang moved to Chongqing and joined Quanta. He enjoys the better facilities and dorms. He frequently visits his parents' home. But his take-home pay has fallen by nearly a third and the thought that his brother may have to drop out of school so he can help the family gnaws at Mr. Zhang. Instead of working in the factory each night, he spends hours playing an online game, Dungeon Fighter. "I'd like to work 80 hours a week," he said.
It's a complex social and economic issue, and one that will take massive global, perhaps generational, changes to solve. Hopefully the improvements continue, and the effects ripple.

Brooke prepares the cabin for Bill and Katie's romantic evening. When they arrive she tells them to focus on each other and leaves. Katie tells Bill they could have done this at home. He says it wouldn't be the same and moves in close. Katie goes to the kitchen and Bill downs a drink. Katie returns, kisses him, and confronts him. Bill protests he had just one drink. Katie walks out.
She Left.
Bill's drinking causes problems, Taylor puts Brooke on notice, and Liam spends time with Hope.
At the Malibu house, Liam tells Hope he spoke to Steffy, who thinks they deserve this time together. Hope tells Liam there's nothing tying him to Steffy anymore. Liam cautions that he doesn't know where they're going with this. Hope just wants him to be there with her. They kiss.
Taylor arrives at Brooke's place and they get into it about Brooke's interference in Katie and Bill's relationship. Taylor then says she's actually there about Hope, who thinks it's time to move in on Liam because Steffy's away. Taylor tells Brooke things are different between Liam and Steffy now. She warns Brooke she won't allow Hope to destroy Steffy's relationship.
Marcus and Dayzee discuss Rosie at the cafe. Marcus watches Dayzee work and marvels at how great she is with people. Dayzee mentions Stephanie and how she never imagined having the resources to do all of this. Marcus says she's keeping Stephanie's legacy alive. Later, a young woman enters and confronts Dayzee. "Where's my baby?"
In Paris, Steffy searches how much tea is safe to drink while pregnant. Taylor appears on video call and asks if she's told Ridge or Liam about the pregnancy. Steffy says no. She adds that she doesn't want Liam to stay with her out of guilt. Steffy asks Taylor if she ever wondered if Dad would have gone to Brooke sooner if it hadn't been for her and Thomas. She says she's demanding more from her life - she doesn't want Liam to stay with her out of duty. Taylor protests. Steffy hangs up.
Brooke comes to the cabin after seeing Katie in her car. Bill says, "She left." He complains he had one small drink and rants. Brooke says if he doesn't have a problem it should be easy to lay off alcohol for a while. Bill asks what's next - he drives too fast and has to get rid of the Ferrari? Brooke says Katie wants him to be the best he can be. Bill points out that Katie walked out on them. He wonders why they can't just relax and be a family. "Like it was when we were..." Bill moves in close and touches Brooke's hair.
Spoilers for Tomorrow on The Bold and the Beautiful:
Brooke is unhappy with Bill.
Taylor's arrival curtails Liam and Hope's evening together.
Taylor informs Brooke that she won't let Hope bully Steffy.

Now, who does AVN think they're kidding? Really, not one Treasure Island title in the top 100 sellers of some recent month (they don't state for what month, but this is from the January 2010 issue)? And we're supposed to believe that Jason Adonis Unseen sold more copies than either of Lucas' Israel crap?
I counted fewer than 4 pages of content, including one full page of reviews. The book was 300 pages this issue, due mostly to it being a show issue. Of course, only two gay companies are bothering to exhibit at the AVN show. Wow, we've gone from being pissed about being shoved off into the corner to not even meriting a mention in the index.
And they wonder why nobody buys ads.
