(02-07) 10:13 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- A federal appeals court declared California's ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional today, saying a state can't revoke gay rights solely because a majority of its voters disapprove of homosexuality.
In a 2-1 ruling, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said Proposition 8's limitations on access to marriage took rights away from a vulnerable minority without benefiting parents, children or the marital institution.
"Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples," said Judge Stephen Reinhardt in the majority opinion.
"The Constitution simply does not allow for laws of this sort."
Prop. 8, passed in November 2008, declared marriage to be the union of a man and a woman. It repealed a May 2008 state Supreme Court ruling that had legalized same-sex marriage in California.
The ban remains in effect while the case proceeds toward the U.S. Supreme Court....
History of the case from the 9th Circuit website. The site is very overloaded at the moment, so you might want to wait a bit.
It's going to be really fascinating to see what happens from here. Project Marriage has already said that they'll appeal this directly to the US Supreme Court and skip appealing to the full 9th Circuit (this case was decided by a randomly selected three judge panel). And since the 9th maintained the stay in place, they don't need to make a separate request for that.
I'm really curious to see what the Supreme Court does with this case. Given the choice, I suspect they'd decide that the issue of standing was incorrectly decided and punt this on those grounds (technically, reverse and remand, but doing so on that issue effectively kicks the case out of court) -- their own decisions on that issue are generally pretty clear and in direct opposition to what the 9th decided -- but that's probably not going to be an issue that they get presented with, and I don't believe the issue on standing was separately appealed when it was decided.
The 9th decided this case on such specifically narrow grounds that if the Supreme Court declines this case, the decision will apply only to California, and not to the other states in the Circuit. I suspect that dramatically increases the chances of this case never getting granted Supreme Court review. That said, you only need four votes to grant review, and I think it probably has that. And it may well be that the current members of the Court want to be DONE with this issue ... though to do so, they'd have to considerably broaden the scope of the decision, which the two-justice majority went to some strenuous efforts to restrict in a way that only applies to California.
Given the current configuration of the Supreme Court, it would likely fall out either 5-4 or 6-3 in favor of allowing gay marriage, given current membership and the Court's previous decision in Lawrence v. Texas. Of the dissenting justices in that case, Scalia and Thomas remain, with Rehnquist more or less ideologically replaced by Roberts. The interesting thing is that of the majority, three justices are now gone: O'Connor, Souter and Stevens, replaced by Kagan, Sotomayor and Alito. Alito would almost certainly align with Scalia, Thomas and Roberts, making a reasonably certain four-judge dissent. (That said, Scalia might well vote for allowing gay marriage, on the grounds that he warned the Court that they would wind up having to make this decision after having decided Lawrence the way they did, and you cannot consistently decide that the Constitution allows gays the right to live their lives unprosecuted and then decide that just because you are willing to allow them to have sex without being arrested for it, you're not willing to allow them to be married. He does like being a gadfly, occasionally, and he is allegedly very fond of stare decisis, when it falls out his way--though this one doesn't. But I digress.)
Anyway. Assume you have a known four justice block of Roberts, Scalia, Thomas and Alito against broadening the decision to allow gay marriage throughout the land. The remaining justices are Kennedy, Kagan, Sotomayor, Ginsburg and Breyer. The decision is assumed to rest on what Kennedy decides to do. (I think it's probably safe to assume that Kagan, Ginsburg and Breyer would vote to strike down Prop. 8 on broader grounds and to allow gay marriage throughout the land. The few decisions that Sotomayor has had to make in this area prior to her Court experience lead one to think that she would probably support this decision, but also support the way in which it has been restricted so that it only applies to California.) It's difficult to imagine the author of Lawrence v. Texas voting to decide that marriage is so different in kind from everything else involved in that decision that he could sustain voting to refuse to allow marriage. It is beyond logically inconsistent, as Scalia went to some pain to point out in his furious dissent in that case.
Thing is, though, if the Court decides that they're not ready for this issue, but that they have no objection to striking down Prop. 8 in a way that's consistent both with Romer v. Evans and with Lawrence v. Texas, all they have to do is decline the case. Frankly, that really does seem the most likely result to me. If they take up the case, it strikes me as a signal that they're likely to overturn the decision. I'm not sure how they can, consistent with past cases, without explicitly overruling both Romer and Lawrence -- and I don't think they have the votes for that. (If they agree with the decision and its result, they could also accept the case, then turn around and issue a relatively quick per curiam unsigned decision confirming the judgement and explicitly limiting its effect to California. That said, they tend to issue per curiam decisions in cases only when the underlying issues have been clearly decided, which is not the case here.)
What I think is really going to be interesting, though, is what happens in Washington state after this. It seems likely that the Washington state legislature and governor are going to sign laws into existence that allow gays to marry in that state in the extremely near future. The Washington state branch of Project Marriage has already said that they plan to get the signatures to put the issue on the next ballot, and barring major disaster, they shouldn't have problems getting enough people to sign. And if it gets onto the ballot, it will pass, probably by a broader majority than Prop 8 passed. (I know, I know, there are all sorts of people out there saying that Washington is too liberal, too broad-minded a place for that. Those people ignore the fact that a really substantial chunk of Washington state is politically a bit more like neighboring Idaho than it is like crunchy-granola Seattle. Those people ignore the fact that marriage remains the one and only religious sacrament granted official recognition by the state, and if you believe for religious reasons that gays AREN'T people, too, you don't want the one part of your religion that the state acknowledges contaminated by the state saying, "No, really, gay people ARE people and they have the same rights as you, so shut the hell up already." The fascinating thing is going to be that Washington state will be on a parallel track with California, and assuming the Court either declines the case or upholds the decision, that puts Washington in exactly the same situation. They've already recognized all sorts of nondiscrimation rights in employment, housing and other areas, so they have no legal constitutional grounds for rejecting gay marriage except as an official way of saying, "You are icky and we don't like you!" Which is not allowable.
But we shall see what we shall see. We continue to live in interesting times, we do.Posted by iain at February 07, 2012 01:37 PM

Marshall J. Brown, reporter and Second Amendment advocate
Feb. 28, 1936 – Oct. 10, 2014
Marshall J. Brown, a former Buffalo Courier-Express reporter and advocate of the right to bear arms, died Friday at his 63-acre "gentleman's farm" in Colden after an extended battle with multiple system atrophy, a neurological disease. He was 78.
The native of the Bronx came from a newspaper family, with his father, Max, and two uncles, all editors at United Press International.
"Marsh was a feisty, hard-nosed old-time newsman, like one of the characters you'd see in an old movie like 'The Front Page,' " said Buffalo News reporter Dan Herbeck, who worked with Mr. Brown at Buffalo Police Headquarters in the late 1970s and early 1980s. "He carried a gun when he was on the job, sometimes beat the police to crime scenes. On more than one occasion, he conducted his own investigations and helped the police solve crimes."
Herbeck said he will never forget the time he and Mr. Brown in 1982 – both police reporters for Buffalo's two competing newspapers – decided to go out and have lunch together. They were walking toward a small diner when a waitress came running outside, spattered with blood and screaming, "Help, he killed Ellie!"
"Marsh grabbed his gun out of the holster and we went running inside. This poor waitress was on the floor, bleeding to death," Herbeck recalled. "A mental patient who had recently been released from a psychiatric center had jumped over the counter, grabbed a knife and began stabbing this poor woman. Then he ran out of the place. Marsh and I ran outside, looking for the guy, but he was long gone. The police came and we told them what happened."
Mr. Brown's first newspaper job was at age 17 as a copyboy at the New York Herald Tribune. After earning a journalism degree at New York University, he joined the Lockport Union-Sun & Journal where he worked as a reporter, photographer and darkroom technician.
An avid outdoorsman, he also wrote a column called "Bait n Bullets" in Lockport.
In 1961 he joined the staff of the Courier-Express and covered a number of sensational cases, including the .22 caliber killer case and many organized crime murders. Mr. Brown won a number of awards from the Associated Press, but was most proud of his James Madison Award from the Second Amendment Foundation.
When the Courier folded in 1982, he went to South Africa for a month where he hunted big game. He also hunted in Mexico, Greece, Denmark and Canada. He held an Open Water Scuba Diver rating and dove in the Caribbean and the Red Sea. He was an ardent sailor and fisherman.,
Mr. Brown was a life member of the National Rifle Association and the Shooters Committee on Political Education, where he was a longtime vice president. He also was a member of the Second Amendment Foundation, Gun Owners of America, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Bear Arms and the Holland Rod and Gun Club.
Mr. Brown wrote letters and treatises on the constitutional right to keep and bear arms and appeared on radio and TV shows as a gun rights advocate. A certified NRA firearms instructor, he trained more than 1,000 students.
An expert marksman and longtime reserve deputy with the Erie County Sheriff's Office. , he won three New York State pistol championships in marksman and sharpshooter categories.
He is survived by his long-time companion, Deborah Williams; and two sons, Kal and Steven.
A memorial service will be held later at Temple Beth Zion. – Lou Michel

Journal 20081005 Japan
The Japanese breakfast was as impressive as last night's dinner, with an assortment of many small dishes of raw and cooked meat served with rice.After breakfast, we successfully made a Skype video call to Cress and Nikki. I was surprised how well it worked, with hardly any transmission delay over the 13,000 miles. We had fun showing them our
room, via the laptop built in camera. Funniest of all was hearing Broc parrot off "konichiwa" to us. We made this a familiar Sunday day of rest, with Madame Oui studying hiragana and I catching up with our travel notes. After a little while, we went down for our first onsen bathing experience. We saw the notes about bathing ettiquette, so we were partly prepared. Fortunately, we were the only ones in each of our gender segregated baths, allowing us to get used to the procedure in our own good time. Basically, you leave your clothes in a basket in an anteroom, then go into the onsen room where you first use the shower (of tap water, or bucket to scoop up some onsen water) to bathe yourself with soap and shampoo (if desired). Thoroughly rinse yourself, then ease yourself, naked, into the hot onsen. In my case, I found the water to be very hot. I put my left foot in, and it soon was throbbing numb. But I stayed calm and the sensation came back, then put my other foot in. The height of the bath was just deep enough for me to sit on the floor, with my head sticking above the water. I relaxed and let the goodness of the onsen do its work. When I finally got out, I thought I had only been in for 10-15 minutes, but an hour had elapsed. I felt invigorated.
Having such a large evening meal last night, and a hearty breakfast this morning, Madame Oui and I hardly felt like eating a full lunch. So we packed some snacks, brought from home, and headed towards nearby Shoutoku Park. It was a small park, but we enjoyed looking at some of the trees whose leaves had already changed to their autumnal hues. We found a bench and enjoyed our little meal. A small group of retirees opened a little shack and set up a series of putting posts on a flat dirt section of the park. We watched them take their exercise.I looked at our local maps and we decided we'd head for one of the waterfalls. We set out on our way, but soon realised that this journey would be longer than expected, and we weren't even certain that we were heading in the right direction. Out of nowhere came a kind man who stopped his car and opened his window for us (so apparent was our desperate situation!). He invited us in. He brought us back to where we had come from, which was a little confusing. He left us, and Madame Oui and I argued whether I could read the map properly. He then returned and apologised, i.e. thus confirming that I had read the map right. Incredibly, he offered to take us to the top of Mt Shirane.
This new friend, Eiji Anzai, speedily drove up the mountain roads, the distance longer than I expected. The weather had already deteriorated, with many cars making their way down. By the time we got to the top, we were in a thick cloud. It wasn't raining, and we walked up the path to the very top. There was no chance we were going to see the main attraction, which was the acid lake (1.2 ph), but we got some photos of us, including with Eiji, standing next to a marker.He dutifully drove us back down the mountain and kindly left us at our ryokan. We gave him a postcard and fridge magnet from home, and I tried to explain to him that I would email him a copy of the photo from the mountain top. He was very grateful for our gifts, and we tried to express our gratitude for his kindness. Back inside our ryokan, we had been told that our dinner would be in a private side room. Madame Oui and I joked that perhaps we had insulted another guest the previous day. But we knew that we were being treated well, when tonight the again exceptional meal was interrupted with two small bottles of hot sake. We appreciated the lovely server's attempt to converse with us and explain parts of the meal. We learnt that she has family living in London, for example. Japanese appear to eat their evening meals early, about 6/7 pm. The advantage of this is having more of the evening to yourself, and thus we went out for a final stroll around the Yubatake lake. We went into a local cafe, where we enjoyed some coffees and ice cream, with a great heightened overview of the scene. It was a fine way to end our time here.

Stress-Free Fertility Tracking
Many couples have trouble getting pregnant simply because they don't have intercourse during roughly 7 day window each month when conception can occur.
Yet tracking ovulation can be time-consuming, confusing, and stressful. The exact opposite of the ideal pre-conception atmosphere!
With the help of Cyclotest fertility monitors, understanding your ovulation is completely effortless. Just take your temperature each morning before getting out of bed. Your Cyclotest instantly analyzes your temperature data to automatically track your ovulation. You only need to look at the monitor home screen to see if you are fertile or infertile.
Know Your Fertile Days In Advance
Conception can only occur if you time sex prior to or during ovulation, but many ovulation tracking methods only inform you of one or two days a month that you are fertile. But not taking advantage of the rest of your fertile days can actually decrease your chances of getting pregnant.
Cyclotest myWay is different. Your upcoming fertile window is clearly displayed on a color-coded ovulation calendar. PINK days indicate you are fertile and intercourse could result in pregnancy. DARK PINK days indicate you are at the peak of your fertility. Sex on DARK PINK days give you the highest chances of getting pregnancy of the month.
This information becomes even more critical if your cycles are longer or shorter than average, or if your husband has a low sperm count. In these situations, timing intercourse correctly can mean the difference between successful conception and months, or even years, of waiting.
Holistic Health Information
Your pre-conception health plays a vital role in optimum fertility. Cyclotest myWay is way more than an ovulation prediction app or simple test strip monitor.
Layers of advanced features will make Cyclotest your best friend and trustworthy aid while you are trying to achieve pregnancy.
Healthy hormone production is obviously key for healthy fertility, and Cyclotest myWay gives you remarkable insight into your hormonal health.
Track your BMI directly from your device to make sure you are in the ideal range. And receive a warning if your monitor detects irregular ovulation patterns that could lead to difficulty conceiving.

Investment in the U.S. production market is a high priority for Hyundai. Reports gleaned from a South Korean news agency indicated that in order to keep up with the healthy demand for Hyundai's lineup of small SUVs and crossovers, a plan would soon be announced to build a new plant in the southern United States. Today's lower gas prices have slowed the sale of cars while driving-up a high demand for trucks and SUVs.
"We need more truck capacity," Dave Zuchowski, CEO of Hyundai North America remarked. "The volumes we're talking about, a new plant would make more sense than U.S. expansion," of an existing plant.
That might rule out expanding use of Hyundai's Montgomery Alabama Plant where the Elantra and Sonata are already built, but an entirely new Hyundai plant, built next to the existing one, could be completed in about two years. "We're positioned well to get into more crossovers and do more with existing ones," says Zuchowski.
You can check out the entire 2015 lineup of sleek and stylish Hyundai SUVs and sedans at SouthTowne Hyundai. With more expansion and selection just around the corner, it's a great time to be behind the wheel of a Hyundai.

My time at the Union Chapel was fruitful for this blog, as I not only speculated about the kind of man on stage, but was also reminded of the power of a certain type of woman in the audience. I like to call her the Crushed Velvet.
You know this woman. She dresses like Stevie Nicks in skirts made of scarves. Or she might have macramé pants. She's usually skinny and pretty tall (and because of that, tends to slump a bit). Her hair is long but slightly unkempt. She has a pretty voice and she probably plays acoustic guitar. At night, she lights candles, burns incense and writes songs or poetry. The lyrics are prone to be a bit shit.
This may not be the prettiest of pictures (nor is it the ugliest) but hear me now, ladies. This woman — the Crushed Velvet — is cleaning up out there. No one can bag a man like she can.
I've always gathered that it's her vulnerability, or that men get a sniff of her emotional instability and assume she'll be a wildcat in the sack. Whatever the reason, this woman is pined after by the sensitive singer/songwriter type described in my previous post (if not invited on stage to duet with him).
Since I was at the Union Chapel with a thoughtful man, I asked him about the siren song of the Crushed Velvet. He explained something to me in simple terms that frankly frightened and enlightened me in equal measure. Using an analogy from nature, he said that men are typical predators. When they see an alpha female in a pack, they assume she is either already spoken for or will require too much effort to take down. So they look for the weak ones on the perimeter. The ones caught up in their own long limbs.
Despite the analogy, it occurred to me that it's not easy to be a man. As women, we take for granted that it must be hard to muster the courage — and the basic energy — to approach the object of your desire. You can understand them going for easy wins.
That said, I'd rather we wore a welcoming smile and had an open — but straight — posture that attracted men with confidence and charisma rather than questionable frocks and fragility.
I also like to go against nature. If we charm them into our circle and surround them with our strength, who's the predator now?

Something is up on Society6.
Some of you have already noticed, while others have simply felt an unexplainable ripple in their day. That drop in cabin pressure is obviously the discontinuation of Kids and Baby Clothing on Society6.
This is a first for us and something we're pretty keen on.
After a year of producing children's apparel, we've made the call to discontinue the category in an effort to focus our mutual time, attention and resources on the products we feel are most aligned with our long-term goals.
You don't need to take any action for this to take affect. The options have been automatically removed from your shop and any purchases that were placed prior to discontinuation will still be fulfilled and earnings paid after the standard clearing cycle.
For us the loss of children's apparel represents a huge gain.
We've reinforced in ourselves that Society6 is not a mass-production factory interested in pushing your work on every possible product (hair scrunchies, anyone?).
We're a deliberate marketplace where the most talented artists and designers in the world make their work available on products for like-minded individuals looking for unique gear as an extension of their own creative expression.
And we're grateful for the honesty and support of our community in keeping that front and center.
There are new products on deck that we're very excited to share with you soon. Products very much aligned with our collective personal tastes that no other marketplace is offering.
Stay tuned for more updates and your feedback is of course always welcome in the comments below!

The public meeting will be held October 29, from 4 to 8 p.m., at the Moffat County Fairgrounds' Pavilion Building, 640 E. Victory Way, Craig, Colorado 81625.
