Allergies and Use of Homeopathy
Modern medicine is rapidly evolving in many areas, however, more and more people are deciding for the use of homeopathy to fight against allergies. Homeopathy uses medicines that are adapted to the individual and tries to capture an overall health status of a person, not just the symptoms. Homeopath must consider the complexity of the sick person's symptoms and compare them with similar symptoms, which could be caused by an individual substance in larger quantities.
Although many believe that allergies are mostly a problem of modern time, mankind has already faced them in the old civilizations like Egyptian. There are numerous historical records that talk about allergy to pollen, specific food and animal products. Some studies argue that the number of allergies is increasing due to environmental pollution, too stressful life and poorer quality of food and air. 40 percent of the population has the possibility of an allergic reaction to a substance that is otherwise harmless. Antihistamines and corticosteroids are effective drugs, but especially in the long-term use they have unpleasant side effects. The advantage of treating allergies with homeopathic medicines is the absence of side effects, which is particularly important for most vulnerable groups (children, elderly, pregnant women, athletes, nursing mothers). Homeopathic treatment of allergies is already recommended in the preventive phase; otherwise the use of powerful pharmaceutical drugs may be necessary. If there is no other option, homeopathy can also be used in the phase of simultaneous treatment with prescription. Homeopathic medicines are based on the assumption that the only effective medicine is the one that causes symptoms similar to the disease that should be treated.
Hay fever, caused by pollen is the most common health problem of people with tendencies to allergy. Typical symptoms of pollen allergy are red and watery eyes (conjunctivitis), sneezing, swollen mucous and nasal discharge. For the prevention or mitigation of hay fever, homeopaths recommend medicine which is a special blend of homeopathic allergens that cause allergy to pollen. This medicine is also appropriate when the first symptoms of hay fever occur. An important supplement to treat allergies is also a preparation of black currant, which has anti-inflammatory activity and stimulates the immune system. Herbal preparation is made from the tip of black currant. The young shoots of this plant contain a lot of embryonic tissue which has an effect on the adrenal gland and stimulates the secretion of cortisone. Cortisone is beneficial in reducing inflammatory processes in the body, which includes allergic reactions such as hay fever, conjunctivitis, allergic asthma, hives and eczema.
Homeopathy has a long history of successful allergies treatment and homeopaths have made important contributions to today's understanding of allergies. Treatment with homeopathy can be used for many different types of allergies. It can also be used in milder and severe disease conditions, but it cannot be used for diseases which already led to irreversible damage. Official medicine does not recognize homeopathy as a useful and effective method of the disease treatment, but more and more individuals are choosing this type of treatment.
By Janette Verdnik
***Homeopathy has been proven by four meta analyses to be no more effective than a placebo. Always check with your personal physician before taking any alternative remedy as such remedies are unregulated and can contain dangerous ingredients. Homeopathy is not accepted by the mainstream medical community and should be used at your own risk.

Homeopathy works so well, it really is the alternative medicine of the 21st century. Pharmaceuticals are so dangerous, their studies are such shams, it's difficult to believe anything they report. So many medications have been recalled, why would you trust them? Of course, I would go to an ER if I had a life threatening problem, but since it's been over 20 years since I've seen a doctor, I guess I'm a great case for using alternatives!
So, why aren't studies of homeopathic products shams as well?
It's a great alternative to pharmaceuticals, since the stuff they put out there is so shoddily tested and dangerous. At least homeopathy has provings, with no monetary gain involved. Shameful all the recalls and deaths pharmaceuticals cause. Of course, I would go to the ER should I need to, but since I haven't needed a doctor in over 20 years, I guess my alternative medicine is working just fine. Homeopathy is the medicine of the 21st century!
U R welcome. TX for opportunity to post this (Advertising Standards Authority Ltd Investigation as Non-Govt. Regulator of Advertising) showing that over 1,500 people don't think it's so funny, or 'hilariously wrong'. You may want to share with your friends and family. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/58269
The Society of Homeopaths is not a product manufacturer. It's already been established that the ASA has no legal authority and that it's staffed by pharma cronies. It's this kind of distorted spin that makes pseudoskeptic opinions so dismissable.
Clinical and other trials have shown significant success in the Homeopathic treatment of not only allergies but allergic rhinitis. I have had allergies to pollens, horses, dogs, cats, etc. since I was a child. Although this was not the reason I sought Homeopathic treatment in the first place, those allergies disappeared along with my main complaint, so it is absolutely true that Homeopathy treats the patient and not the "named" diagnosis or complaint as it does not simply oppose or suppress "symptoms".
This type of result from Homeopathic treatment is not uncommon at all. It's more the rule than the exception.
Laurie Willberg said:
Clinical and other trials have shown significant success in the Homeopathic treatment of not only allergies but allergic rhinitis.
Please provide links to those clinical trials and please say whether your believe those trials are robust, independent and demonstrate specific and clinically significant results beyond placebo for homeopathy.
It is not my job to do your homework, especially since you are not a health care practitioner and not responsible for patient outcomes, or even interested in treating your own health problems. Your dubious involvement with pseudoskeptics clinches the fact that you are only interested in argument and are arrogant enough to think that you are going to arbitrate the validity of information.
You will have to find someone else naïve enough to play with you in your narrow sandbox.
You made the claim; you provide the evidence to back it up.
Utterly misleading and irresponsible article.
Alan Henness, you seem pretty angry about homeopathy, why? There must be a reason you spend so much time and energy knocking it.
Thanks for your diagnosis. There is a very good reason I – and others – do what I do. I hate to see people conned and misled by homeopaths and others making claims not backed by good evidence. But maybe that's not something they can understand.
helps4hardtimes said:
The recent article cited below (April 7, 2014) states that 20% of doctors in Scotland now have basic homeopathy training compared to only 1% fifteen years ago.
I believe that figure originated in the same newspaper in an article in August 2000 and it is not clear exactly what the figure represents, but could simply mean that some junior doctors spent a short period of time at the Glasgow Homeopathic Hospital.
Do you have anything newer and more reliable than a 15-year-old newspaper article?
Anyway, whether that figure is correct or not, does not change the lack of any good evidence for homeopathy, does it?
Indeed. Why wasn't the Society of Homeopaths able to provide any good evidence for those conditions?
Pseudoskeptics like Mr. Henness frequently make false statements about "lack of evidence". Millions of patients and Homeopathic practitioners, including Homeopath/MDs and Naturopaths, daily disprove this unsubstantiated opinion.
"Believing" where an article originated is not the same as substantiating it.
Indeed. Believing that homeopathy works isn't the same as it actually working.
But instead of the ad hominems and accusations, why not try to answer the question? Do you have a reliable source for up-to-date figures for Scottish GPs receiving training in homeopathy?
You speculated about the information without providing any concrete refutation. You accused a poster of providing incorrect information, so it's up to you to prove your case. You are simply doubt peddling. Fail.
Laurie said:
"You speculated about the information without providing any concrete refutation."
Correct. I questioned the information, saying quite clearly I believed it was a repeat of information that was now 15 years old. Now, do you have a reliable source that would settle the matter?
"You accused a poster of providing incorrect information, so it's up to you to prove your case."
No. As I said, I questioned the information. I hope you are able to understand the difference.
"You are simply doubt peddling."
Well, if you don't think any questions should ever be asked, Laurie…
Er… no.
Now, about this good evidence for homeopathy?
And the next time you reply, please try to be civil.
Someone linked to an ASA/advertising ruling on a product. What's more telling is that the ASA is being critically scrutinized as a mouthpiece for pharma companies. Most people don't realize that it's not a government body and has no legal standing to enforce anything. It's also telling that you set up the so-called Nightingale Collaboration to flog frivolous "complaints" about Homeopathic products as just another propaganda tool.
Claiming that the Society of Homeopaths wasn't "able to provide good evidence" shouldn't fool anyone that you're doing anything but trying to manufacture doubt.
Feel free to provide the good evidence that the Society of Homeopaths were unable or unwilling to do.
Michael MacKay said:
"Feel free to provide the good evidence that the Society of Homeopaths were unable or unwilling to do."
An interesting point. I never said they were unwilling to, though, but what we do know what they were able to provide wasn't up to the ASA's required standards and that they don't appear to have contested the adjudication.
A little something more about the ASA: ASA the Truth Alyssa Burns-Hill, PhD Spills
Thanks for posting that – it's hilariously wrong, isn't it?
Great movie! It is sad how they misrepresented themselves. The ASA seems more like obstructionist.
"This situation (ASA) should not be allowed to continue". The ASA is a sham obviously being manipulated to serve 3rd party interests and definitely not the public's.
Henness is merely defending his role in this kangaroo process.
I see you're still clueless about the ASA.
There isn't a single published study on anything that doesn't call for more research. Your attempt to armchair quarterback research fails.
Well, that's not entirely correct, of course, but that is the way science works after all: all conclusions are provisional.
I may be wrong, but Nancy seemed to be suggesting all these studies provided good evidence for homeopathy (she is a homeopath, after all). The first one certainly doesn't. Perhaps you'd like to give the conclusions of the others she cites? That can easily be done whether in an armchair or not.
However, perhaps you can say what research is currently being undertaken by homeopaths to rectify that situation?
Nancy, people I'm sure are capable of reading the whole paper for themselves, rather than your selected quotes. I could have done that as well:
"The weight of the presented evidence will probably not be sufficient for most people to decide definitely one way or the other."
However, do you agree with their conclusion or not – where they say:
"not sufficient to draw definitive conclusions"
…for the reasons they gave?
Let's now look at the conclusion of the authors of the second paper in your list:
"The results of our meta-analysis are not compatible with the hypothesis that the clinical effects of homeopathy are completely due to placebo. However, we found insufficient evidence from these studies that homeopathy is clearly efficacious for any single clinical condition. Further research on homeopathy is warranted provided it is rigorous and systematic."[1]
Note the second sentence. Do you agree with the Linde et al. conclusion?
1 Linde, K, N Clausius, G Ramirez, D Melchart, F Eitel, L V Hedges, and W B Jonas. "Are the Clinical Effects of Homeopathy Placebo Effects? A Meta-Analysis of Placebo-Controlled Trials." Lancet 350, no. 9081 (September 20, 1997): 834–43.
Yes, Nancy, I quoted the conclusion in full, rather than cherry-picking as you've just done.
Now, do you agree with *all* of their conclusion – not just your cherry-picked sentence?
If you believe the ASA is a 'kangaroo organization' [sic] then you'll need to tell us your reasoning and evidence: you made the claim; you back it up. Simple, really.
"Alyssa Spills All" video posted does it better than I ever could LOL
Simple and accurate, really.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Victor Oladipo (oh-lah-DEE'-poh) hit the go-ahead putback in the final minute before adding a dunk and a pair of free throws as top-ranked Indiana knocked off No. 4 Michigan State 72-68. Oladipo finished with 19 points, nine rebounds and five steals, one game after spraining his left ankle.

5.) Au Revoir Andrew Mason
Shares of daily deal site Groupon (GRPN) spiked 12% on the news of CEO Andrew Mason's expulsion last Friday. They added another 6% on Monday this week and 5% on Tuesday for good measure. Based on the stock's reaction, the market clearly sees Mason's departure as a step in the right direction.
Unfortunately, we here at the Dumbest Lab take the opposite view of Mason's ouster. His shareholders may be psyched to see him go after seeing Groupon's stock drop over 70% since the company's November 2011 IPO. Nevertheless, we remain saddened by his termination, even if it was widely anticipated.
Let's face it. He was totally crappy for them, but great copy for us.We'll miss Mason's infantile management approach, like the time last year when he was caught addressing his troops under the influence of alcohol. At one juncture in the town-hall style meeting, Mason was forced to stop and apologize, saying, "Sorry, too much beer." Actually, if we remember correctly, Andy's beer-swilling shenanigan was the final straw which led Starbucks (SBUX) CEO Howard Schultz to bolt Groupon's board. Boy, he must be glad he woke up and smelled the coffee before it was too late! We also recall fondly Mason's other miscues, like his idiotic Super Bowl commercial that poked fun at the Free Tibet movement, the ridiculous poetry on his blog, the multiple accounting restatements and the silly stir he caused at the Securities and Exchange Commission which endangered the company's IPO. Perhaps above all, we'll never forget -- as much as we'd like to -- that weird YouTube video he posted of himself doing yoga in his underwear. Well, maybe that yoga self-exploitation wasn't his biggest screw-up. Ask a Groupon shareholder right now and he or she will probably tell you Mason's decision to spurn Google's (GOOG) $6 billion offer for the company was his most memorable goof. At last check Groupon's market cap was just over half of that sum, and most analysts predict a whole lot of retrenchment ahead for the company featuring across the board firings, especially overseas. "After four and a half intense and wonderful years as CEO of Groupon, I've decided that I'd like to spend more time with my family. Just kidding -- I was fired today," wrote Mason in his farewell letter to his troops. Ah, what a trooper! Tongue in cheek 'til the bitter end. Of course, unlike many Groupon employees waiting on their pink slips and meager severance packages, Mason can afford to be cheeky. He owns roughly 46 million shares, or 7% of the company, at last check. In other words, Mason's firing has been substantially profitable for him. Even if it is a major loss for us.

SBSUN Excelsior Article
- 0Jan 14, '04 by featherzRN, BSN, RNDon't know if this has been posted, but just saw it this morning. I don't think this is entirely accurate, as I am an excelsior graduate and started working for Kaiser just last year /shrug.
San Bernardino Sun
- 0Interesting article.
As far as Kaiser, the board minutes do show they testified in support of the board decision and they don't fund Excelsior students through their scholarship program.
On the hiring issue, my understanding is that they don't hire new Excelsior grads, but it could be different for Excelsior grads who are already working, experienced RNs. Of course, I could be wrong.
Interesting story about the MA at the end of the article. My understanding is that MA's with little clinical experience were some of the biggest problem cases and that's at least part of what got the board's attention in the first place.
I don't think they'll win the lawsuit. The board minutes show so many violations of state regulations I don't see how any court will go for it. But I could be wrong on that as well.
:spin:Last edit by Sheri257 on Jan 14, '04
- 0This was a very interesting and contradictory story but entertaining. I live in Los Angeles I have friends that work at Kaiser and Cedars that went through the EC Program.These hospitals hired them without missing a beat. My friends have written a letter to the BON informing them who they are employed by . When my friends were hired it was not asked what school did you graduate from. Alot of my friends our lead nurses. EC has a higher pass rate! Wow now thats interesting also but the board can only give an example of an incident but have stressed its decision had nothing to do with the safety of the program. I wonder what decision will they make when the news won't stop reporting layoffs, hospitals continue to close down and the 2-3 year waiting list to get in these wonderful traditional schools continue to get longer. I will continue to take my chances.
- 0Kaiser is a big organization. Maybe one division does one thing, and another does the opposite.
Here are the board minutes which show Kaiser's support of revoking Excelsior's accreditation back in February of last year:
The patient safety quote came from Excelsior, not the board. And the one incident cited was a quote from the CNA, again, not the board. There's probably a lot more than that. But, if you think about it, nobody's going to put that information in the newspaper because of the potential liability issues involved.

Interesting LIZZ but what I am a little baffled by is why would Charles Frye not be in support of EC...he writes study systems called Professional Development Systems (at least I think so). Maybe you have heard why. Just a little curious. Thanks for the link!
:spin:Last edit by Sheri257 on Jan 14, '04
- 0Well like I said I live in Los Angeles. I have attended Dr. Fryes class in the past. It was always issues because EC did not appreciate him supplying EC students with material to assist them in their studies. Yes, I know Kaiser is a big cooperation I use to work for them for 3years doing home health for their wound care patients and the flu clinic. So I know alot of nurses there and managers. Its funny how people are quick to believe the hype. I will again point out it will come back to bite them sooner or later. It does not matter what school you go to you'll still get the incident reports, patient deaths, nurses getting their licenses revoked, narcotic drawers coming up short, nurses not using universal precaution blah blah blah so does this mean that the school they went to contribute to this behavior. What it boils down to is that the local community colleges and UC schools are in trouble. People are not applying anymore for nursing so this will be a way to attract more people to go back to the schools to obtain their degrees.Which will increase the schools money and keep their accrediation. How can you expect a nurse to wait on a list for 3 years when its told to you 300-400 applicants apply, its only room for 40 students. In Los Angeles County the colleges do not give love to LVNS to bridge over. So then you wait for the lottery, you take the pharmocology test, then you wait. Now they are taking the students with the highest grades in their science classes then you wait. It now gets crazy, they are now asking for your grades from your vocational nursing program then you wait.... drum roll your not selected that is BS!
- 0http://becomeanrn.com
funny how they have Dr. Frye's name listed as being opposed to EC involvement with future RN graduates, he still promotes his courses. He was the one assisting the EMT and paramedics obtain their licenses. I know this for a fact not rumored because I use to be a student. I think this must be a misprint or a different Dr. Frye LOL. I received pamphlets from him a least once a week up until Dec. 03. Basically how I read this is, the board was okay for 20 years then the hospitals complained .....oops ... oh **** we have not looked into this program for 15 years LOL. Wow .....

As you (and the article) mentioned, there are waiting lists. And the reason there are waiting lists is because the schools are jammed with TONS of students trying to get into nursing schools. The schools aren't hurting for students. The schools are overwhelmed with students, and can't take any more even if they wanted to.
And one of the major reasons isn't tuition or even state budget dollars (where most of the money comes from, not tuition) although I'm sure the schools could always use more money.
But the real problem is that the hospitals will only take so many students for clinicals at a time (or so I've been told.)
So it really makes no difference to the schools if EC is around or not, because they've got more students than they can handle anyway.Last edit by Sheri257 on Jan 15, '04

Using dialysis to separate complex mixtures of biomacromolecules was established in the 1950s. Many of the dialysis theories established at that time are the cornerstones for contemporary dialysis products. There are, however, two major differences between the dialysis tools of yesterday and today: preparation time and sample loss (i.e., recovery). Early laboratory dialysis methods involved dedicating a significant amount of time to membrane preparation. The Thermo Scientific Pierce Dialysis Products described on this page are essentially ready to use and resist sample leakage.

SnakeSkin Dialysis Tubing was developed to simplify large volume sample dialysis and does not require require presoaking or boiling the membrane prior to use. SnakeSkin Dialysis Tubing is regenerated cellulose dialysis tubing that is pleated (compressed) into a hollow stick and can be used for wide range of sample volumes. The hydrated tubing will hold ~3.7mL of sample per centimeter of length.
The pleated format of SnakeSkin Dialysis Tubing makes it easy to open and ready to use; simply pull out the required length of tubing, cut it off and apply a closure. The recommended closures, SnakeSkin Dialysis Tubing Clips, are sold separately. Alternatively, SnakeSkin Dialysis Tubing can also be closed with knots after prewetting the tubing in water or buffer.
SnakeSkin Dialysis Tubing is available in three molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) specifications: 3.5K, 7K and 10K.
Slide-A-Lyzer Dialysis Flasks are for sample volumes from 150 to 250mL. These devices accomplish typical buffer exchange in 8 to 24 hours and are available in four molecular-weight cutoff (MWCO) varieties: 2K, 3.5K, 10K and 20K.
The flask-style dialysis devices are very easy to use. Add and remove sample using a serological pipette or by directly pouring the sample through a wide screw-cap opening at the top of the flask. No knots or clips are needed to seal the units.
Slide-A-Lyzer Dialysis Flasks are manufactured using clean room conditions and have low-protein binding regenerated cellulose membranes to ensure maximum sample recovery and sample purity.
Slide-A-Lyzer Dialysis Cassettes (original and G2 models) facilitate rapid and trouble-free dialysis for sample volumes from 100µL to 70mL. The cassette design maximizes surface-area per sample-volume ratio and allows excellent sample recoveries. Unlike standard flat tubing, these innovative cassettes do not require knots or clips that can lead to leaking and sample loss. Instead, Slide-A-Lyzer Dialysis Cassettes are constructed of dialysis membranes separated by an inert gasket and sandwiched between two halves of a translucent plastic case that is sonically welded together.
Both models of Slide-A-Lyzer Dialysis Cassettes are available in five molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) specifications (2K, 3.5K, 7K, 10K and 20K) for four or five different volume ranges. Selected sizes of 10K MWCO Slide-A-Lyzer Cassettes of each model are also available in packages that have been gamma-irradiated to make them effectively sterile.
Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Devices are disposable polypropylene cups with integrated, low-binding membranes for convenient, high-performance dialysis of 10µL to 2mL samples. The MINI devices are designed to allow easy sample addition and removal using a standard laboratory pipette. They are effective and convenient for accomplishing typical sample desalting or buffer exchange in 4 to 8 hours. Unlike other small sample separation devices, there is no equipment to assemble, no need for syringe adapters and no laborious steps necessary to manipulate the small volume sample. The regenerated cellulose membrane is compatible with a number of common chemicals and buffers.
Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Devices are available in three sizes (0.1, 0.5 and 2mL capacities) with five molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) specifications: 2K, 3.5K, 7K, 10K and 20K.
Pierce 96-well Microdialysis Plates are automation-compatible, microplate dialysis devices (3.5K or 10K MWCO) for rapidly processing 1 to 96 samples with volumes 10 to 100µL.
Each sample processed with the Pierce 96-well Microdialysis Dialysis Plate is dialyzed inside a single, removable dialysis device created by two regenerated cellulose membranes separated by ~2mm. The short diffusion distance and large surface area facilitates rapid dialysis with the removal of salts and small molecules often completed in 2 to 4 hours. Sample recovery is performed using standard laboratory micropipettes. Individual microdialysis devices can also be used with 2mL microcentrifuge tubes for processing single samples. The available plate seals are made of high-quality polypropylene and help protect samples from contamination and evaporation, especially during long-term storage.
The RED Device for rapid equilibrium dialysis was developed in association with the pharmaceutical industry to accelerate lead optimization and reduce attrition rate. The RED System consists of disposable tube inserts for use with either a reusable PTFE or disposable high-density polypropylene base plates. The unique design of the base plates provides compatibility with automated liquid handling systems while the large dialysis surface area of the tube inserts accelerates equilibrium establishment.
Like the RED Device, the Competition Rapid Equilibrium Dialysis System was developed with accelerated lead optimization as a priority. The Competition RED Device (C-RED) consists of two-chambered disposable tube inserts and a reusable PTFE base plate. Competition equilibrium dialysis is performed within enlarged wells on the base plate that can accommodate 2, 3, 4, or 8 dual chamber inserts providing a defined space for up to 15 samples and 1 open chamber to access the dialysate. The Competition Rapid Equilibrium Dialysis System is also compatible with automated liquid handling systems and has the same high performance as the RED Device.

What's not to love about fireworks? Bright bursts of color, awe-inspiring flashes of light… asthma??!!! More and more people have been voicing their concerns about the health risks (from particle-filled smoke and lung-clogging antimony to heart-toxic Barium and body-contaminating perchlorates) associated with our favorite nighttime spectacles, especially since we'll be experiencing a ton of them tomorrow for 4th of July. Are there such things as eco-friendly fireworks? Scientists are busy working on them right now, but at the moment, they are too cost-prohibitive to make an appearance in displays this year.
Since we can't purport to be green fireworks experts, here are the articles that we've found to be the most informative on the subject:

I can see that fireworks give off certain toxic gases, but never really gave much thought to the fact that the gases could be that harmful to ourselves.
It is only a couple of times a year we see fireworks and many of us only let off a few in the garden or go to large displays where the fireworks are quite a distance from spectators.
So is it really worth the expenditure required to create greener fireworks?

O'Farrell renews NSW mining licencesPUBLISHED: 16 Sep 2011 12:41:00 | UPDATED: 16 Sep 2011 12:43:02PRINT EDITION: 16 Sep 2011
NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell has vowed to protect agricultural lands and listen to farmers' concerns following the renewal of coal exploration licences in the state's north-west.
Resources Minister Chris Hartcher says tough conditions will apply to licences for the Shenhua Watermark Coal and BHP Billiton Caroona coal exploration projects near Gunnedah.
The Greens have accused the government of selling farmers out by renewing the exploration licences.
But Mr O'Farrell says under the coalition's strategic lands policy, farmers will have a greater say on how agricultural land is used.
"For the first time in NSW, [it] will give all parties a say in the future use of land like that," he told reporters on Friday.
Earlier, Mr Hartcher had announced new conditions for the Shenhua Watermark exploration project and said controls at BHP Billiton Caroona would continue.
"The licence of Shenua Watermark Coal will be subject to tougher conditions and those of Caroona will be maintained to ensure our valuable agricultural and water resources have much greater protection," he said in a statement.
The proposed Shenhua mine, planned for the Liverpool plains farmland, would have new controls to prevent the groundwater resource from being damaged, he said.
But NSW Greens mining spokesman Jeremy Buckingham said the government had sold out farmers by renewing the mining exploration licences.
"The renewal of coal exploration licences on the Liverpool Plains means our precious water resources and prime agricultural areas are a step closer to disaster," he said in a statement.
"It's taken barely six months and the O'Farrell government has already caved into the mining industry."

New York, New Yo...
We <3 Kaffe Fassett for Liberty Art Fabrics here at BurdaStyle, so we are excited to be using their fabric for this pattern remake! We looked to our Ellinor blouse pattern for this design, and the changes, while looking quite different from the original, we really quite simple.
Here's what we did: We eliminated the sleeves so you can easily layer a cardigan over this dress, and trimmed the armhole with self-made bias binding for a finished look (see tutorial below). We lengthened the skirt by continuing the side seams to about mid-thigh. We dropped the neckline 1/4" so the neckline would sit at the collarbone. The original pattern calls for trim at the neckline, so we used a contrasting Liberty print in blue for that and added a cute little button to keep the top closed.
3 yards cotton (self), 1/2 yard cotton (trim), 1 yard elastic (waist)

Nice fabric! The Ellinor pattern is very versatile. I never really looked at it (and noticed the daring transparency!) before this post.
Feb 3, 2011, 01.19 AMby sewinl0ve
Very cute! I just found the most adorable vintage print fabric which would be the perfect candidate for a simple design such as this.
Jan 31, 2011, 09.51 PMby sarsaparilla
It looks wonderful! I've wanted to try the Ellinor pattern for ages, but I couldn't decide how to alter it. This has given me some new ideas!
Jan 31, 2011, 10.14 PMby alisondahl
A design can change so much just by changing the fabric right? The original blouse was made from chiffon so it looked quite fancy— the cotton really makes this look more casual but still fun ;)
Feb 1, 2011, 10.23 AMby sarsaparilla
Definitely! I love how casual the cotton looks – I have several metres of drapey green cotton in my stash, and I think it's destined to become an Ellinor blouse :)

My name is Ash and I am a slave. As far as I can tell, the year is 1300 A.D and I'm being dragged to my death. It wasn't always like this, I had a normal life, once. Hardware aisle twelve, shop smart, shop S-Mart! I had a wonderful girlfriend; Linda. Together we drove to a small cabin in the mountains. It seems an archaeologist had come to this remote place to translate and study his latest find: Necronomicon ex Mortis, the Book of the Dead. Bound in human flesh and inked in blood, this ancient Sumarrian text contained bizarre burial rites, funerary incantations and demon resurrection passages. It was never meant for the world of the living. The book awoke something dark in the woods. It took Linda, and then it came, for me. It got into my hand and it went bad, so I lopped it off at the wrist. But that didn't stop it. It came back. Big time. For God's sake! How do you stop it?!Ash
Give me some sugar, baby.Ash
Good... bad... I'm the guy with the gun.Ash
Alright... who wants some?Ash
Yo! She-bitch! Let's go.Ash
First you wanna kill me, now you wanna kiss me. Blow.Ash
Don't touch that please. Your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and... things with molecular structures and the-Ash
Keep your damn filthy bones outta my mouth.Ash
Alright, you primitive screw-heads, listen up! See this? This... is my boomstick! - It's a twelve-gauge, double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt-blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right... shop smart. Shop S-Mart... You got that?!!Ash
Now I swear the next one of you primates even touches me...Ash
KLAATU... VERATA... N--... necktie... nectar... nickel... it's an n-word, definitely an n-word... It's definitely an n-word.Ash
Shut the door! Were you raised in a barn?! ... probably was raised in a barn with all the other primitives...Ash
It's a trick. Get an axe.Ash
Maybe. Just maybe my boys can protect the book. Yeah, and maybe I'm a Chinese jet pilot.Ash
Now whoa whoa whoa right there spinach chin!Ash
That's it, go ahead and run! Run home and cry to mama!Ash
Say hello to the twenty-first century!Ash
Oh you little bastards! All right, I'll crush each and every last one of ya! I'll squash you so hard you'll have to look down to look up!Ash
Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king. Hail to the king, baby.Ash
Buckle up, bonehead, 'cause you're goin' for a ride.Ash

Michel Bourez is a French-speaking Tahitian with the most powerful frontside gouge on tour. Known as The Spartan because of his supreme physique, thanks to the fresh fish, coconut juice and hours surfing he enjoys in Tahiti, Michel qualified for the world tour in 2008.
Michel recently made it to the semi-finals of the 2013 Quiksilver Pro, Gold Coast, earning a best-ever third place at that event. And he came in hot. "Spartan's been the top surfer of the whole event for me," said Joel Parkinson at the time. "He looks like an animal at the moment. A new surfer, a new competitor, really focused. I love that passion he has on a wave."
Kelly Slater agreed: "You put him on a right with an open face and power to the wave, and he's gonna match it better than anyone. There's not many guys on tour who are as strong as him. When he sets his shoulders and pushes with his legs, it's pretty much a thing of beauty."Read more

Just 8 per cent of Toronto kids are black, but 41 per cent of kids in care...
MILTON - A candlelight vigil was held in Milton Friday, following the...
At age 96, Irene Huller is proud of her independent lifestyle.
She shops for her own groceries, goes to doctors' appointments and takes the Greyhound bus to Brantford to visit her daughter.
Huller, a longtime Burlington resident, needs a cane to get around, but this hasn't slowed her down.
The red section on the bottom of her white cane reveals the energetic senior has a vision problem.
Huller is legally blind and has been since age 69.
Since she isn't able to drive, she proudly states she gets around taking Burlington Transit.
"I go everywhere, I don't let it (vision problems) stop me," said the grandmother. "You feel like you are taking care of yourself."
Huller is completely reliant on public transit not just to local destinations, but also to places like Toronto and Brantford.
There is joy in her voice when she shares a recent trip to Hamilton.
"About two months ago, I had an appointment with a periodontist in Hamilton on MacNab Street South and it was my first time there, so, I took the Aldershot bus to downtown Hamilton and transferred onto one of their buses, which I took for free with my CNIB pass," she said. "The people at the office were asking who brought me, and I told them I brought myself, and they couldn't believe it."
Huller said she had a lifelong love of driving. She fondly recalls driving a commercial vehicle as a young woman in Hamilton.
"During the war, women replaced men that went overseas and I drove a commercial vehicle during the war for a living when I was just in my early 20s," she said. "Driving was so enjoyable."
Huller was diagnosed in her late 60s with a macular hole in her right eye. A year later, a macular hole was located in her left eye, resulting in her being diagnosed as legally blind.
Since then, she has developed cataracts and was diagnosed two years ago with macular degeneration, which has worsened her eyesight.
Huller has difficulty seeing far distances and also struggles with depth perception.
"When you see a row of houses, you can see the numbers, but I can't," she said. "I have to go right up to the door. It is a different world for me."
The deterioration of her eyesight caused her to initially become depressed.
"I was so devastated when I lost my central vision and I couldn't drive," she said.
Upon the referral of her doctor, she talked to the CNIB, who gave her a special card identifying her as someone who was visually impaired.
This card allowed her to ride free on local transit and opened people's hearts to helping her find her way if she got turned around.
"When I showed my card, it was amazing how people went out of their way to show me where I was supposed to be," she said.
Her husband, who passed away several years ago, suggested he could drive her around town after her diagnosis, but she refused.
"My husband would offer to drive me to get my hair done, but I wanted to use the bus pass," she said. "I wanted my independence back."
Burlington city council approved earlier this fall the elimination of free fares for CNIB cardholders and reduced fares for Community Living Burlington employees and Halton District School Board special learning participants.
The recommendation was part of the city transit department's interpretation of the fare parity legislation under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).
The fare parity legislation creates one fare system for users of conventional buses and Handi-Van. Currently, Handi-Van tickets cost 0.25 cents more per ride than conventional bus tickets.
A recent campaign by Brent MacMurray, a legally blind Burlington resident who takes city buses daily, to reconsider the elimination of the free fare for visually impaired riders was successful.
Council voted unanimously Monday night to implement fare parity, as planned, on Jan. 1, but keep the free fares for CNIB cardholders and the reduced fares for the two groups until the city's legal department can review the issue.
A report is expected to come back for consideration at a Community Services Committee meeting in February.
Burlington and Hamilton were the only municipalities in Ontario who initially approved the elimination of specialized and free fares for riders with certain disabilities as the result of the fare parity legislation.
Hamilton city councillors voted this week to delay the implementation of fare parity and keep the existing free fares for visually impaired riders for 90 days until it can work out what the legislation means.
Huller said if Burlington wants to get rid of the free fare for CNIB cardholders, a good compromise would be a reduced rate.
"Let people keep their dignity," she said. "If they want to start charging, well fine, but make it affordable."

Great cultural changes begin in affectation and end in routine.Jacques Barzun
One of the best temporary cures for pride and affectation is seasickness; a man who wants to vomit never puts on airsJosh Billings
Affectation is to be always distinguished from hypocrisy as being the art of counterfeiting those qualities, which we might with innocence and safety, be known to want. Hypocrisy is the necessary burden of villainy; affectation part of the chosen trappings of follySamuel Johnson
Paltry affectation, strained allusions, and disgusting finery are easily attained by those who choose to wear them; they are but too frequently the badges of ignorance or of stupidity, whenever it would endeavor to pleaseOliver Goldsmith
Affectation proceeds from one of these two causes,--vanity or hypocrisy; for as vanity puts us on affecting false characters, in order to purchase applause; so hypocrisy sets us on an endeavor to avoid censure, by concealing our vices under an appearance of their opposite virtuesHenry Fielding
All affectation is the vain and ridiculous attempt of poverty to appear richJohann Kaspar Lavater
A gentleman has ease without familiarity, is respectful without meanness; genteel without affectation, insinuating without seeming art.Philip Dormer Stanhope
Affectation lights a candle to our defects, and though it may gratify ourselves, it disgusts all othersJohann Kaspar Lavater
Among the numerous stratagems by which pride endeavors to recommend folly to regard, scarcely one meets with less success than affectation, which is a perpetual disguise of the real character by false appearancesJohnson
It is remarkable that great affectation and great absence of it (unconsciousness) are at first sight very similar; they are both apt to produce singularityArchbishop Richard Whately
Affectation discovers sooner what one is than it makes known what one would fain appear to beLeszczynski Stanislaus
There Affectation, with a sickly mien, Shows in her cheek the roses of eighteenAlexander Pope
Among the numerous stratagems by which pride endeavors to recommend folly to regard, there is scarcely one that meets with less success than affectation, or a perpetual disguise of the real character by fictitious appearancesSamuel Johnson
Affectation naturally counterfeits those excellences which are placed at the greatest distance from possibility of attainment, because, knowing our own defects, we eagerly endeavor to supply them with artificial excellenceSamuel Johnson
Great vices are the proper objects of our detestation, smaller faults of our pity, but affectation appears to be the only true source of the ridiculousHenry Fielding
All affectation; 'tis my perfect scorn; Object of my implacable disgustWilliam Cowper
I must confess I am a fop in my heart; ill customs influence my very senses, and I have been so used to affectation that without the help of the air of the court what is natural cannot touch me.Sir George Etherege
Affectation is certain deformity; by forming themselves on fantastic models, the young begin with being ridiculous, and often end in being viciousRobert Blair
The thing is plain. All that men really understand, is confined to a very small compass; to their daily affairs and experience; to what they have an opportunity to know, and motives to study or practice. The rest is affectation and impostureWilliam Hazlitt
It is indeed not easy to distinguish affectation from habit; he that has once studiously developed a style, rarely writes afterwards with complete easeSamuel Johnson
Great cultural changes begin in affectation and end in routineJacques Barzun
The man of affectation may, perhaps, be reclaimed, by finding how little he is likely to gain by perpetual constraint and incessant vigilance, and how much more securely he might make his way to esteem, by cultivating real, than by displaying counterSamuel Johnson
Affectation hides three times as many virtues as charity does sinsHorace Mann
Affectation is a very good word when someone does not wish to confess to what he would none the less like to believe of himselfGeorg C. Lichtenberg

Grilled Butter Chicken Pizza
- Course Main Dishes
- Prep. Time 30 mins
- Cooking Time 30 - 40 mins
- Yields 8 to 10 servings
Want to have Indian and Italian on the same night? This fun recipe combines two classic dishes into one simple and delicious meal. Grilling the prepared pizza dough gives the crust a great, crisp texture that provides a perfect balance with the creamy sauce.
Did you know?
Real cream is what naturally separates from and floats on top of the milk layer of freshly gathered milk.This recipe is brought to you by:
In a large non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often for about 10 minutes or until golden. Add garlic, tomato paste, garam masala, ginger, cinnamon and cayenne and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in diced tomatoes, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan; cook, stirring often for 5 to 10 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed and sauce is thick. Whisk in cream until smooth and well combined; simmer for about 3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in chicken. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat barbecue grill to medium heat.
On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll dough to roughly 16- x 12-inch (40 x 30 cm) rectangle. Place on a baking sheet or cutting board. Brush top with olive oil. Flip dough, oiled side down onto preheated grill. Grill, covered, for 3 to 6 minutes or until bubbles form on top and grill marked underneath without charring. Flip over; grill, covered, for about 1 minute, just until surface is cooked but not browned. Remove from grill, sliding onto baking sheet with the oiled side down; reduce heat to medium-low.
Spread butter chicken evenly all over pizza. Sprinkle with cheese and green onions. Slide back onto grill, cover and grill for 3 to 8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and underside is browned. Sprinkle with cilantro before serving.

JaJuan Johnson's shooting impresses Boston Celtics teammate Rajon Rondo
Every once in a (long) while, the bleak world inhabited by the NBA lockout cracks open with a ray of sunshine, a quote that actually pertains to basketball, the greatest sport on earth. Tuesday, thanks to Mark Murphy and the Boston Herald, Rajon Rondo commented on JaJuan Johnson, the young, agile, 6-foot, ten-inch shooter from Purdue.
Rondo, who has been taking classes at the University of Kentucky, also organized a workout session in conjunction with another former Wildcat, Nazr Mohammed.
Many of Mohammed's Oklahoma City teammates attended the sessions, though Rondo's old friend Kendrick Perkins didn't make the trip.
Rondo, in turn, invited former teammate Marquis Daniels and soon-to-be Celtics rookie JaJuan Johnson.
Johnson, like Rondo, is represented by agent Bill Duffy, and made an immediate impression with his shooting range.
"He's a better shooter than I thought," Rondo said. "He has KG range, which is saying something. He was very aggressive with the ball."
The Celtics' rookie power forward has KG range. At this point, I'm salivating for the season like I just caught a whiff of boneless buffalo wings. Too bad this goddamn lockout might never end.
3 Responses to "JaJuan Johnson's shooting impresses Boston Celtics teammate Rajon Rondo"
I get it that he has a bit of KG in him, and that's good, very good, but what we need is a center that can operate near the basket and likes to do it. We all saw what happened when you put a Rondo with a Shaq. We've got to see more of that. Somehow, some way, we need a Big Man who likes the paint.
Like or Dislike: 0 0
I'm just not counting on Jermaine. I love the way he came through last year, but as a first option at center, he's a disaster. I think Danny should scour the D League and everyone else he can think of, looking for a big guy with a nose for offense in the paint. Somebody like that might be a project, but possibly the right project for this team? And I know it's repetition for me to say this, but I'd bring in Cowens, or at least someone, to work with Baby on his paint moves. Baby, bless his heart, does seem to get it into his head to post up sometimes, and while he's not the most effective in the world, he does have some moves that maybe could be developed….

New Zealand's Transport Accident Investigation Commission (TAIC) published its final report into the grounding of containership Rena in October 2011. The TAIC's
Port operator APM Terminals, a unit of Denmark's A.P. Moller-Maersk, said on Friday Costa Rica's environment agency had approved the construction of its Moin Container Terminal project.

The last time i raced in Glocester, RI it was wet. Really wet. Flooded. And under all that water were head-sized rocks, usually in places you very much needed to ride through. I spent a great deal of time sitting in this water, often on one of those very rocks, wondering on what side of the trail I should start looking for my bike.
This year it was mercifully dry. And by mercifully dry I mean "not flooded". I am nearly certain that these trails do not dry out entirely regardless of rainfall. I drove down with the rmm and Caitlin (who generously donated time she could have spent studying invertebrates to handing out water bottles to two mikes and a colin), arriving early to assess the state of the trails. Once a year, the owner of the land (a motocross racer, if I am not mistaken) allows a few hundred goofy mountain bikers to race in his backyard. For this we are eternally grateful. Because wet, dry or otherwise, this is a course that separates trail riders from mere xc racers.
The route was technical, though the stated distance was a bit misleading: bikereg said 18 miles, and we were told 3 laps at the (very informal) start, but when i was coming up on the middle of lap 2 my 705 (oh yeah, Im THAT guy) said 12 miles. That was a shock because I was pushing pretty hard after a few hangups and a nice hard crash and didnt really believe I had another 6 miles in me. but im getting ahead of myself.
As I said, the start was informal: there was no whistle, just a dude that said "go" after telling us that we would be off soon. Not a complaint - I kind of liked how the race was run: Grassroots racing at its finest. My one nit to be picked is how they did not honor my USAC license. I feel like the EFTA races I did last year never required me to buy a "one day" local license to supplement the national one I already purchased. Not that I am sweating the 4 dollars or wouldnt want them to be able to sustain their events, but the "license" thing is kind of horseshit. I have a racing license. I have to buy a national road, mtb and cross license, in addition to a UCI license (if I am to get mercilessly lapped at UCI events this fall). I feel like this needlessly nickel and dimes the racers: if your organization needs to raise fees to sustain itself, just putting the 4 dollars toward registration would be fine. Buying ANOTHER license is kind of infuriating. But like I said, just a nit to be picked. I personally like the EFTA series, and combined with rt 66 (and independent events) we have something like 40 race weekends over the course of a season.
Now that I have lost almost all of my readers, the race itself went pretty well. Other than some jackass that cut across the course right in front of our holeshot and clipped my shoulder pretty good, there was way less carnage than I expected. I went in third wheel behind a bikebarn guy and a dude with a goatee (somehow still a phenomenon in mountain biking). Bikebarn snuck around the guy with the Alice in Chains facial hair and floored it. This did not really ring any alarm bells yet, though in retrospect it probably should have. He got a gap, and when I finally made it around Eddie Vedder I could barely see my quarry. I then got myself stuck behind a single speeder that was having some kind of drivetrain issue (!) and managed to crash myself out on a wide open section of trail. Good work.
All this time, I was redlining: bouncing off trees, mashing the pedals, not looking far enough ahead. Settle down, old man. After I went down, I took a few deep breaths. I started my actual race about 2 miles after I got into the woods. After my preride lap, RMM and I decided to use our well-honed cross skills instead of trying to ride the treacherous rock gardens. Not that they werent ride-able. They were just not race-able. I did the slippery cleat dance over mud, roots, piles of wet rocks and a few bushes (when I had to avoid the victims of the former). One thing I will say: passed riders definitely did their best to yield the trail - often with a word of encouragement, and that is much appreciated.
I rolled through my second lap in good shape, or, I was managing my bodies inevitable collapse very well. No crashes, a flawless bottle exchange, strong runs: if I could do entire races like that I could quite possibly get good at this whole racing thing. Sadly, that came to a crashing (pun intended) end somewhere at the beginning of lap 3. See, I felt like I was closing on Bikebarn. Then I looked at my computer, which led me to believe that I had another lap after this one. Shit. They said three laps, but they also said 18 miles. Looking back, I am doubly an idiot: first for strapping a 500 dollar piece of hardware to my handlebars at a brutally technical race, and second for believing anything it said. Its a mountain bike race, dummy. Just go fast.
I came through the feed zone before the finish and asked how many laps I had left. I heard the magic word "done" and promptly almost crashed into the tape, unclipping my left foot and executing the least graceful turn onto a finishing stretch in a long history of inglorious finishes. I got 2nd in my category and 3rd overall for cat 1s, experts, senior 2 men or whatever category I race in now. I talked with the guy that won the singlespeed class: he was great, though bikebarn was nowhere to be found. Apparently he put about a minute and thirty seconds into me - my foibles on the racecourse may not have mattered much after all - and was already washed up and playing with his kids by the time I finished.
money lol
I got interviewed by Colt from cyclingdirt afterwards. He threatened to be at the transylvania epic and will likely capture footage of the relentless abuse I will receive there.

Red Sox in World Series has UNH on alert
Police sent a letter to landlords last week asking them to have discussions with their renters reminding them of their lease obligations, including occupancy limitations, noise restrictions and beer keg regulations.
"This isn't our first encounter with this, and although we are absolutely excited for the Red Sox and want to see them win, it does bring with it public safety concerns and we have some history to show that," Dean said. "Crowds form and people want to celebrate."
Students were also reminded that off-campus arrests can result in on-campus consequences, including revocation of scholarships and suspension.

It's not about being a "foodie," it's about the fact that this is has been the way people have been making cheese for fucking centuries and this is absolutely ridiculous. Much like the recent law in CA about sushi chefs being forced to use gloves now.

Something's going on here but I'm not so sure it's what you think it is.
Dozens are articles are springing up right now but they're all quoting each other. The only thing somewhat authoritative any of them is mention of this statement by "FDA representative Monica Metz", but googling her just brings up the articles again, nothing from an actual press release. The articles only suggest that this COULD potentially fall under the Food Safety Modernization Act but it doesn't explicitly say this isn't allowed, it's being interpreted by Monica, who's done nothing but (allegedly) made some statement.
Nothing's necessarily banned yet.
The right-wing anti-Obama's are loving this so much and pouncing on it so quickly that it makes it all seem a bit suspicious.
I can't quite nail the "There's something rotten in the..." joke that is so obvious here.

The update to this article includes important clarifications
The FDA does not have a new policy banning the use of wooden shelves in cheese-making, nor is there any FSMA requirement in effect that addresses this issue. Moreover, the FDA has not taken any enforcement action based solely on the use of wooden shelves.
In the interest of public health, the FDAs current regulations state that utensils and other surfaces that contact food must be "adequately cleanable" and properly maintained. Historically, the FDA has expressed concern about whether wood meets this requirement and has noted these concerns in inspectional findings. FDA is always open to evidence that shows that wood can be safely used for specific purposes, such as aging cheese.
The FDA will engage with the artisanal cheese-making community to determine whether certain types of cheeses can safely be made by aging them on wooden shelving.
Which is not to say we need to stop with the cheese puns. I'm provolone cheese puns!
What if the cheese spreads bad bacteria? See this sort of unrelated article:
Amy you're being parmasenanoid.

Gilboa Dam in Eastern NY at risk of breach
GILBOA, N.Y. (AP) - Residents of Schoharie County downstream of the Blenheim-Gilboa Dam are being advised to move to higher ground because of the potential for flooding along the Schoharie Creek.
The New York City Department of Environmental Protection, which owns the dam as part of its upstate water supply, says warning sirens were triggered Sunday afternoon by rising water due to higher-than-predicted rainfall and the loss of electronic monitoring devices at the dam.
The agency said it didn't believe the dam was in danger of imminent failure, but additional personnel were sent to the site to evaluate the situation.
Shelters have been opened at high schools and other locations in Schoharie County.

5 Travel Tips for Packing Luggage
February 6th, 2008
- Packing small accessories such as belts and scarves can help you limit the number of outfits you pack by giving you more options for mixing and matching.
- No matter how short of a trip or vacation you are going on you should pack enough socks and underwear for at least four days.
- If you are going on a long trip and the space you are staying in is limited, make a list of the contents of each piece of luggage and tape it to the inside of the lid to avoid having to dig through the entire contents of your suitcase to find one item.
- Check the weather forecast for your trip or vacation destination to ensure that you are packing clothes that will keep you warm or cool depending on where you are going. Remember, even if your hotel is in a valley the nearby mountain areas might be much cooler than where you are staying. Be sure to pack appropriate clothes just incase.
- For a final tip, if you can, leave enough space for a folding umbrella, you never know if you will need one.

Theater of public discourse on display at gay marriage hearing
WASHINGTON — They mostly kept their distance, these supporters and opponents of gay marriage, as they massed Tuesday in front of the Supreme Court to proclaim with signs and slogans their conflicting views about the cutting-edge question before the justices.
People who favor legalizing same-sex marriage carried pictures of gay weddings and families and held signs that read "marriage is a constitutional right." They waved American and rainbow flags, and one man in devil horns danced in pink heels and a rainbow tutu.
