Celebrating Easter with friends and family usually involves that Sunday sporting event many of us know so well: Brunching!
The Bloody Mary, Mimosa, and Bellini all come into play at the table whether it's at a restaurant or at home.
Beyond these staples, many enjoy a nice cocktail as well so I present one of each for your imbibing pleasure: The Bronxville Bloody Mary (a version I enjoyed at an Easter party and consider one of the best) and The Yellow Chickie Martini (a Springtime cocktail that can be used as an aperitif for Brunch or the hot meal served later in the day).
The Bloody Mary has several incarnations and people will always tell you, much like their mother's meatloaf, that their version is the best. This is not my version so I think I'm off the hook there.
This concoction belongs to Bronx Alehouse owner/operator James Langstine. While James is not educating his clientele on the latest microbrew beer to check out, he's making one of the most delicious "bloodies" I've ever tasted. It was introduced at his Easter gathering I attended a few years back and it still reigns supreme (in my mind, at least!) as the best I've experienced. Serve The Bronxville Bloody Mary when guests first arrive and the rest of the day will be smooth sailing!
The Bronxville Bloody Mary
- 2oz Karlsson's Gold Vodka
- 1oz Guinness Pub Draught
- Juice of 1 lime wedge
- 1 tsp Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
- 3-6 dashes Tabasco Sauce
- Pinch of celery salt (you can use a small pinch of celery seed and large pinch of salt)
- Pinch of Fresh Direct Tellicherry Peppercorn, ground
- Campbell's Tomato Juice
Fill a 16oz pint glass or mason jar ¾ full with ice and combine ingredients in order. Add tomato juice last, leaving enough room for garnishes. Shake well. For the "full monty" garnish, skewer lime wedge, lemon wedge, and cocktail onions to float and polish off with a celery stalk and strip of beef jerky.
Our aperitif cocktail sings with a zingy lemon zest appeal that speaks to the Springtime feeling in the air. The Yellow Chickie Martini is a lively combination of Karlsson's Gold Vodka, Capri Natura Limoncello, and Dolin Dry Vermouth. The earthy potato vodka and savory, herbal vermouth elements playfully balance the sweetness of limoncello resulting in a delicious cocktail that can be served up or on the rocks. A Peep floater makes it all the more playful for the Easter holiday!
The Yellow Chickie Martini
- 2oz Karlsson's Gold Vodka
- 2oz Capri Natura Limoncello
- 2oz Dolin Dry Vermouth
- PEEPS Yellow Marshmallow Chicks
Combine equal parts of these ingredients in a cocktails shaker. For a richer/boozier expression, shake and strain into a martini glass. Lighten the strength of ingredients by shaking and straining over ice into a rocks glass. Last, break off a PEEP and float on cocktail for garnish. Happy Easter!

WTF? OMG. Founders rolling in…3.2.1.
Big hat tip to @Racist
If you read yesterday's thread in George Washington, "Oops! My, bad" you might have seen this mentioned by @racist. He bought a copy of the Constitution from Amazon, and upon reviewing his purchase, read a shocking statement from the publisher inside the book. He was kind enough to scan the page for iOTW and it is for real.
Here is the book's page on Amazon.com. If you read the reviews-other folks are surprised/shocked/angered too. Why does Amazon still use A&D Publishing/Wilder Publications if their product is defective and biased? You might want to ask them.
Or, maybe you'd like to write a letter directly to:
A & D Publishing
PO Box 3005
Radford,Va 24143-3005
or contact: Wilder Publications
If you do contact them be respectful. As with the tea party, it takes one nasty comment or sign to paint everyone else with a broad rightwing/racist etc…brush. Show them more respect than they show to our Founding documents.
We're wondering, is this what Obama and company think about the Constitution? Is this the copy that Elena Kagan has been using to determine rulings of cases and teachings in school? Things that make you go, WTF?!?
AND…another hattip to @joeclark77 who found more info about this "Warning Label" over at Cato@Liberty

Wow that "not giving them ammunition" thing is what I was just now posting on the mutilation thing!
I did some research on Wilder and there are other reviews about it and an article on "Noonanfornevada.com"
They published some Fredrick Douglas works too, and they left off everything except the race part. So this is NOT something "boilerplate" that they put on all historic works. This is relatively specific to works they don't agree with apparantly.Noteworthy Comment +68

OMG, WTF and SMHNoteworthy Comment +38
Joe, your point is well-taken, but boilerplate or not, why does a publisher feel the need to put this kind of disclaimer on anything they publish? Are they so lacking in faith of the intelligence of their customers that they believe buyers of their books need to be warned that they may be "offended" by their contents? Or maybe they know their customers too well, and are afraid that a 'tard buying one of their copies of the Constitution might sue Wilder Publications for a hate crime.Noteworthy Comment +100

Boilerplate political disclaimer my ass.
This is NOT a historical "work" … it is one of our Founding Documents. It elaborates the principles upon which the republic is established. Spare me any reflex commentary regarding the Founders' sociocultural milieu, and standard-issue PC mumblings about "diversity of viewpoints"
This is preparing the battlespace for wholesale amendment to the "Living Constitution" which is the Grail for ProgressiveShitheads
I like Scalias' take … he prefers his Constitution "DEAD". It is already amenable to amendment by the states and their citizenry. Other than that, fuck off. Want sharia ? Stay in MuzzieVille. Want radical egalitarianism ? Go live in Eurabia. Or Kalifornia. You only get life, liberty and the chance to pursue happiness. Courtesy of your own merits, sweat and labor.
Fuck PC progressives, whom are totally and irrevocably Commies without the guts to be forthright about their pie-in-the-sky-just-let-us-run-everydamnthing in your life delusions.
Last tidbit for progressives here or anywhere; the Amendments to the Constitution are in proper order … primacy of freedom of speech, assembly, press and worship are guaranteed and secured by instrumentality referenced in the next clause.

Thank you OHIO ! There is no Boilerplate printed on "The Narrative of Fredrick Douglas 1845″,and "The works of Fredrick Douglas " only warns parents to discuss how race issues have changed. Douglas was a Great American, and I'm not saying his works should be scrutinized like the Constitution has been. I'm sayin NEITHER SHOULD BE. But this company felt a need and a right to interject their political views into a piece of American Heritage, and they chose to warrant different "warnings" for each one dependingon how it fit their narrative.

Ohio, my guess is actually that they're going for the "school library" market. My father's a school superintendent, and one of the things I've picked up from his war stories are that school boards and administrators are constantly hearing from parents who want some book or other dropped from the curriculum (i.e. Huckleberry Finn because it uses the n-word). I bet a lot of public schools love to have lawsuit-deflecting disclaimers like this on the older books.Noteworthy Comment +21

Oh yeah, 1984. I remember freshman year of college.

I love the comments by libtards who don't understand the meaning of the 3/5 Compromise.
For the last time: PLEASE LEARN SOME HISTORY. The slave owners WANTED blacks to be counted as whole persons, so they could have the benefit of their population count without allowing them to vote. Had blacks been counted as whole people, the slave states would've had even more electoral power. The 3/5 Compromise WAS A VICTORY FOR BLACKS and antislavery Northerners.
Apparently the disclaimer the Constitution needs should say: Warning: not to be read by liberal morons who have no contextual understanding of ANYTHING more complicated than their welfare checks.Noteworthy Comment +32

Paul: learn history in regard to the 3/5ths. The Founders were not counting blacks as 3/5ths of a person, they reduced the number of blacks the south could claim as property for a representative in congress. So instead of the south being able to count 50,000 blacks as property to get a representative in a slave state, they could only count 30,000 blacks toward the 50,000 needed for a representative.

Since the publisher sees fit to add a disclaimer to this US Law, can we put similar disclaimers on any other US Law (like the healthcare bill) and follow them as we see fit? After all, we are the people and it seems that most amateur constitutional scholars (libertarian-leaning political hobbyists) I know can render a better ruling than ~50% of the current Supreme Court.Noteworthy Comment +10

I think they may be talking about the three-fifths compromise.
"Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons [i.e. slaves]"0
So parents shouldn't talk to their kids about these documents, how many adults have read these documents, better yet how many read the pages before chapter one in a book? I get it. No it is not right but is it really something to get all up in arms about? Not everything is a major issue0

Your sentiment is great, however it was long before 1990 that the progressives started changing textbooks. I went to school in the 60′s and even back then a lot of things were already changed or being changed. This problem goes back a long way and we have a lot of work to do to restore the truth to our educational system and government.+4
The government of the people, by the people, for the people, HAS PERISHED from the earth. Never to return. The collectivists have taken over and we will soon have a new constitution extolling the rights of the state and relegating the individual to nothingness except as a contributor to the "collective good" as determined by our fearless leaders.-1
Disclaimer – Natural Born citizen MAY NEVER BE a Dual Citizen. One may not be one AND the other. We all know who Obama's father was – END OF STORY – Is it any big surprise that they don't want the Constitution to be taken seriously. Wake up useful idiots. The biggest crime in the history of the world is taking place.
The way I see things, this is just another totalitarian probe. Like the healthcare takeover, or the coming immigration amnesty, or the revisionist history taught to our schoolchildren. The totalitarians are just checking to see how far they can go before the American people stand up and quit taking it. The left (toward socialism) and right (toward commercial-industrial-financial-military manufacturing-energy) are in a struggle to gain power and don't give a crap about the American citizen. If either party cared about you, me, or the citizenry at large, the border would have been enforced and illegal aliens expelled long ago. Now that the left has power, and seems to control the schools (and now healthcare), the pandering by commercial interests (and now health insurance companies) will be toward what the left favors-such as a treating the Constitution, the basis, and limit, of the federal government's power, as a "living document". Why a "living document"? So the left can bend, twist, and manipulate it as it "grows". Face it folks: to the left we taxpaying citizens are sources of income to re-distribute the wealth to those who keep them in power; to the right, we are consumers who are needed to purchase cheap foreign made goods to line the pockets of the industrialists. What was a great country, with a limited federal government, is no better than a power/income base for socialists and industrialists, and eventually globalists. A major change must happen to take our country back. When will the American public quit laying down and taking it?+5
Thanks for puting out the word on this reprehensible publisher. I would buy NONE of their products. However, they have every right to print this disclaimer and parents can teach their children as they see fit.

The Constitution is not some "book" or "classic work" – it IS current law. Note the word "law", not "suggestion" or "guideline" or "fairy tale".+2
newenglander is such an idiot. the times in which the constitution was written were no more racist or sexist than they are now, if not less considering the race baiting in the political arena today and the fact that women can whatever they want. The problem with blacks being counted as less than a whole person is a product of bipartisanship. If you want a classic example of why bipartisanship doesn't work, just look at slavery. Georgia and Alabama said "we get our slavery, or we won't sign the constitution and you can go pound sand." So we compromised with them, and shazam: bipartisanship got in the way of progress. The people who were on the right side of the argument lacked the fortitude to press the issue so they punted and ended up with a bloody civil war a few years down the line. The Constitution was never meant to be a "living, breathing" pliable piece of crap. It was made to be intentionally difficult to amend to prevent giant swings of the pendillum by those who are easily persuaded by every wind of doctrine (like the obama generation who voted for him not knowing who he really was.) The rest of your post is tangentially disconnected from the Constitution and has nothing to do with the original intent of the founders. And indeed God is mentioned in the Declaration of Independence which was instrumental in securing our modern state and was signed by many who later participated in the creation of the Constitution. By the way, many of those signers of the Declaration lost everything, their families, fortunes, homes, and even their lives because they signed that document proclaiming liberty from tyrants and freedom to live according to the freedom given to all men by God who gave them life. Its very sad that this portion of history is not taught in school, instead we are taught that these men were selfish, white, bigoted, racist men. I guess it doesn't really matter though, the constitution thing, because Obama doesn't think it limits presidential authority. We'll keep a tally of how many private businesses he raids by the time his term in office is over.Noteworthy Comment +10
These documents should be provided to all citizens, free of charge+2
Maybe they were afraid they would be the ones who's ass Obama wants to kick:
Remember what your leader said about the constitution:
Obama: If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court. I think where it succeeded was to invest formal rights in previously dispossessed people, so that now I would have the right to vote. I would now be able to sit at the lunch counter and order as long as I could pay for it I'd be o.k. But, the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society.
To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as its been interpreted and Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can't do to you. Says what the Federal government can't do to you, but doesn't say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf, and that hasn't shifted and one of the, I think, tragedies of the civil rights movement was, um, because the civil rights movement became so court focused I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change. In some ways we still suffer from that. …
I'm not optimistic about bringing about major redistributive change through the courts. You know, the institution just isn't structured that way.-2

I don't think it's all that bad. After all, the constitution says that slaves don't count as full human beings, but only 3/5′s of a person. I think they should count as full people, so that's a difference between modern political thought and political thought from the 1780′s. That's something I would discuss with my children when trying to educate them about our nations history.-2
Here is the publisher's email address: email@example.com+1
Is anyone supprised, with the direction of the country0
The 3/5 count was negotiated to get the slave owners to agree to the rest of the Constitution, not to 'help' the slaves. What this did was provide the slave owners with 1 + 3/5N votes where N = # slaves. The vote of a slave owner with 10 slaves was worth 1 + 3/5*10 = 7 votes of non-slave owners. The Electoral College was set up to broker this. Since the civil war the Electoral College has been a useless, obsolete appendage that only increases the potential for corruption, as occurred in 1874 when the Chicago Tribune intercepted telegrams showing the Republican party negotiating to buy the EC votes of 4 states in order to steal the presidential election. Oregon & Florida were 2 of the states selling their votes, read The Codebreakers by David Kahn for all the details.
I got my copy from the ACLU and it doesn't have a disclaimer in it. I hope A & D go out of business; America is not for sheople.+1

See the Finnish painting "Attack"0
@John Entner — Is that what you tell your children about SLAVES? That their owners should get full representation for each of them?+2
Okay – all of the women need to stop commenting because they have no vote. And if you are black your comments only count 3/5. Oh. . . and if you rent stop commenting because only white land owners count.
Historical context is silly. We would not want our children to have any discussion of history to go along with our founding documents. They should stand as they are. . . pure.
I had these discussions with my kids when I educated them about our constitution because history is not always pretty. AS a responsible citizen I educated my kids about how society worked then and now and the differences. It isn't liberal it is basic training in critical thought, a key foundation of participating in democracy.0

I will die defending the US Constitution! I took an oath to uphold it as written.
Obama is a disgrace to the Presidency. His administration is corrupt. The stimulus money has gone to foreign banks; he dismisses the American citizen; divides its citizens; tries to ILLEGALLY offer Sestak a Cabinet position to pull out of a congressional race; refuses to seal the Mexican border; refuses to uphold the US Constitution; has an extramarital affair (VERA BAKER); destroys our economy; attacks the job producers; oppresses the poor through Orwellian policy; hoodwinks the minorities into thinking they can't achieve on their own; considers the United States to be greedy and arrogant even though America's compassion has helped every country on earth; continues with Machiavellian tactics to implement Communism.
In November the Democratic Communist party will be voted out of office. Then perhaps we can impeach Barack Hussein (ashamed of his name) Obama for treason, corruption, incompetence, and a lack of moral character. At the very least let's make this Muslim Communist a one-term President. Mr. Obama has disgraced the Presidency of the United States.

1. He destroyed the Clinton Political Machine – Driving a stake thru the heart of Hillary's Presidential aspirations – something that no Republican was ever able to do. Remember when a Hillary Presidency scared the daylights out of you?
2. He killed off the Kennedy Dynasty – No more Kennedy's trolling Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home. American women and Freedom are safer tonight!
3. He is destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes!
Dennis Moore had never lost a race – quit
Evan Bayh had never lost a race – quit
Byron Dorgan had never lost a race – quit
Harry Reid – soon t o be GONE
These are just a handful of the Democrats whose political careers Obama has destroyed! By the end of 2010 dozens more will be gone.
In December of 2008 the Democrats were on the rise. In the last two election cycles they had picked up 14 senate seats and 52 house seats. The press was touting the death of the Conservative Movement and the Republican Party. In just one year, Barack Hussein (ashamed of his name) Obama put a stop to all of this and will probably give the house, if not the senate back to the Republicans.
4. He has completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they are. Every Generation seems to need to relearn the lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge. He is bringing home the lesson very well.
Liberals tax, borrow and spend – check
Liberals won't bring themselves to protect America – check
Liberals want to take over the economy – check
Liberals think they know what is best for everyone – check
Liberals aren't happy till they are running YOUR life – check
5. He has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan. In one year he has rejuvenated the Conservative movement and brought out to the streets millions of Freedom Loving Americans. Name me one other time in your life that you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back America !
6. His amazing leadership has sparked the greatest period of sales of firearms and ammunition this country has seen. Law-abiding citizens have rallied and have provided a "stimulus" to the sporting goods field while other industries have failed, faded or moved off-shore.
7. In all honesty one year ago I was more afraid than I have been in my life. Not of the economy but of the direction our country was going. I thought Americans had forgotten what this country was all about. My neighbors, friends and strangers proved to me that my lack of confidence of the Greatness and Wisdom of the American people was flat wrong.
8. When the American People wake up no smooth-talking-teleprompter reader can fool them!
Barack Hussein (ashamed of his name) Obama woke up these Great Americans! Again I want to say Thank You Barack (Who is Insane) Obama! This is exactly the kind of hope and change we desperately needed.Noteworthy Comment +10

I found on ALL of Wilder Publishings books a similar disclaimer.. on everything from "Communist Manifesto" to Thomas Paine's "Common Sense." I find the difference is in the 2007 vs. the 2008 disclaimers:
The majority of the 2007 disclaimers include "race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and interpersonal relations." The majority of the 2008 disclaimers address "…how views on race have changed." However, that is not uniformly the case – 2007 & 2008 have BOTH disclaimers, just different disclaimers in different books. Haven't been able to determine the rhyme or reason.+2
it is reasons just like this that will cause this socialist experiment we are in now to end VERY BADLY
there are too many of us who will not let this happen+3
The only question one need to ask: WWFD
If the founders were here, alive today, what would they be doing?
I believe the answer is obvious, they'd be raising armies.

Boycott all of trash from these people regardless of the subject matter. purchasing anything from them only empowers them to express more of this PC garbage+1
Seeing that these people do not have the "guts" to stand up for our country and it's ideals, they do not deserve any respect. If they put "disclaimers " on "everything" then they are not willing to stand up for anything. This only deserves contempt and certainly not profit from selling trash.+1
This web site rocks. U all got some talented peeps here.+3
You are right of course, but dont forget to include moderates. They want the same thing just slower.+2
I don't care if it was a Christian publisher or a Muslim publisher. The effect is the same: our Constitution is heading towards being nothing more than a historical document rather than the legal guideline and federal limiting device that it should have been for the past 223 years. It should have been the basis for all laws passed since that time, but our government officials (of all 3 branches) have seen fit to manipulate it for their own good and for the benefit of the power base that has placed them in power, left or right, Democrat or Republican. What was once our foundation (including, but not limited to, the Constitution, the family unit, and religious institutions) has been chipped away, tunneled under, cracked, and splintered… if not wholly discarded. Now we are a nation without a proper foundation. The walls and governmental institutions which we have created and built have risen too high to be supported by whats left of our foundation. They cannot stand the strain of each new layer of government being heaped on top of another only for the purpose of rising ever higher and more self-serving, and neither can the American citizenry. We have created a new Tower of Babel. It is our our all inclusive, all knowing, all powerful, yet completely foundationless, federal government.+3
what is next? a modified Constitution "for children" with insensitive and hateful things such as Freedom of Speech removed and the Marxist Manifest added to "balance" as the FTC czar wants it?+2
…"does not reflect the same values as it would if it were written today"
Thank God for that. American values today are garbage, thanks mostly to the undue influence of socialist public schools, Hollywood, a (mostly) anti-American press, and destructive society-tinkering social programs from a sprawling-out-of-control government.
Thank God our Founding Fathers did have the values they had, values possibly more enlightened and informed than anyone at A&D/Wilder. Yes, unfortunately, our values have changed, however, what has not changed is the one thing the Founders considered most when writing and deliberating on these most precious of pages, human nature.+1

You realize that this is instructing parents to counsel their children by explaining the context of these documents?

He might also be confused as to why it took a change in government to allow him the right to vote. Or, her. Your outrage overlooks that this message is only encouraging sound parenting.0

Regan did it as well.
Thank you Mr. Obama for securing our Mexican borders, NOT!
He's already done more than Regan or Bush I. I live on the border, if you don't understand it you should research the issue. No amount of troops or walls will solve the demand issue. It takes 20 years to legally immigrate here. In the meantime you make $4 per day in Mexico, or you can jump a fence and make $80/day here cleaning dog shit and picking strawberries. You do the math, what would you do if your family was starving and under the gun?
Thank you Mr. Obama for alienating our allies while honoring banana dictators, NOT!
Actually he cut off financial bribes to North Korea that was funded by Bush II. I don't know the specific dictators you speak of. But, he hasn't committed treason by outing CIA agents yet, so that's a good start.

@joeclark77 I'm sorry if I was a little ambiguous earlier. I will certainly tell my children that slavery is wrong. The point that I was trying to make was that considering black people to be less than fully human was morally reprehensible and that our constitution and declaration, while giving us wonderfully forward thinking views about the equality of people, codified that attitude that the color of your skin influenced the level of your humanity.+4
Radiomojo you sir are the one that is actually under informed, and you have no facts to support your arguements. I have listed some reading for you by sources you can handle.
Just because you say Regan did it does not mean squat. What else was he doing on Memorial Day. I bet he was not plaing golf.
Obama has done nothing for imigration, at least Regan tried, but it was not followed through on by other administrations. The legal amount of time is just over 2 years max to get citzenship, and it takes filling out a form to get a green card. http://www.uscitizenship.info/ins-citizenship-process.htm
The bribes as you call them started under Clinton you fool. Remember when Albright went over their and came back then said all was cool. It was actually Bush who put more sanctions on them no Obama, remember axsis of evil. http://www.ustreas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/programs/nkorea/nkorea.pdf
It was not treason to out the CIA official because treason is giving information to our enemies. Obama has given our nuclear secerts out (which other people have been arrested for), http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2010-04-06-us-nuclear-policy_N.htm and he hams it up with Chavez and won't denouce Iran.-2

Well – considering women's suffrage, blacks as property, etc. etc. etc. the original constitution did have some "problems".
It does amaze me however — the abject reverence the founders are accorded. While I think many were geniuses, somehow pointing out the mistakes they made along with modernity's effects on our values is considered heresy.

The right is the only one trying to remove Jefferson from the history books (actually, they literally did just that in Texas. Removed him from their future textbooks as he doesn't fit the far-right board's strong anti-deist agenda).+1
The Constitution only happens to be the most important document in all of human history.

This is stupid and remarks like those from newenglander show a lack of understanding of the constitution and the purpose of the tea party (teabagger really? childish crack that).
The constitution is amended to correct those original faults which is what the founding fathers intended. Franklin had Jefferson change "life, liberty and private property" to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" because they knew to do otherwise would make it much harder to ever eliminate slavery. The 3/5′s was also another effort to keep the south from having too much representation so that slavery could eventually be abolished.
Read your history with an open mind, not blinded by government education.
Without the constitution, with the help of the progressives we would have sunk into total socialism, then what freedoms would you have?+2
I grew up in the Real America. Not the one full of Liberal-Commies where BHO abviously came from. I served 26+ in USAF. Now have a son, 2 nephews and 1 neice in uniform. Now I'm in my 60′s and firmly believe that putting a Warning Label on the US Constitution (the one I swore an Oath to support and defend…) is absolutely, without question, the most despicable, most politically-correctness type of insanity it has even been my displeasure to witness in my entire lifetime!

The real question here is do they put this warning on every item they republish that was originally written 200 or more years ago? If so then they're obviously just trying to cover their butts in some way against our litigious society. If not then they have some explaining to do on why a document (the Constitution) which is on public display in countless places needs this warning.

Otherwise be a part of the lie and do as you always do when you are told to do so by Bill O'Reilly and Bill Mahr suckers! Fight em now with votes or later with your lives!+3
Let's try to keep this in perspective. We're talking about a small-print legal notice that appears on the copyright page, and reminds the reader to consider the document in its historical context.
Not every word of the Constitution reflects a sacred American value. You have the three-fifths compromise, for example, which counts black people as 3/5 of a white person for purposes of taxation and representation. If you were teaching your kid the Constitution, you'd probably want to explain the issue of slavery in the 18th century, the role it played in the framing of our government, and how that has evolved over time…wouldn't you?
As tempting as it may for some people to blow this out of proportion and present it as evidence of an impending communist dictatorship under Obama, really all it means is that some lawyer at a publishing company got overzealous in the CYA department.
I'd be more concerned with the organized political movement to put disclaimers on science text books to suit the religious sentiments of fundamentalist Christians.-1

TO all you detractors, the Constitution of the United States Of America is an IDEAL. It does a very good job of outlining the best way people can live together in freedom. It has been the manipulation of this ideal and these laws by special interests and government that has corrupted this ideal and made law meaningless.
Not the fault of the Constitution that many Americans have been unable to live up to it.+3
Cruise show season is kind of odd – instead of having a proper Fashion Week where all of the collections are presented together, they're released slowly in shows around America and Europe, each with very different backdrops and moods. For example, Chanel, a brand that always shows at Paris Fashion Week, chose to present its Cruise collection this year on a Venice boardwalk.0
Though the majority agreed on the outcome, its members differed about how to get there.
The Second Amendment, like the rest of the Bill of Rights, originally restricted only the power of the federal government. The Supreme Court later ruled that most, but not all, of the protections of the Bill of Rights applied to the power of the states as well, under the due-process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, adopted in the wake of the Civil War.0

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Fewer customers are shopping at American Eagle Outfitters, and the teen retailer expects a big drop in profit in the current quarter as it deals with tough competition.
The company's outlook for its fiscal third quarter, which runs through October, is also well below Wall Street's view. Shares are down 7.5 percent in Wednesday premarket trading.
For the quarter that ended Aug. 3, net income rose 3 percent to $19.6 million, or 10 cents per share. Revenue fell 2 percent to $727.3 million. A key revenue figure that tracks sales in established stores dropped 7 percent
Pittsburgh-based American Eagle Outfitters Inc. is the latest retailer to post disappointing results. Chains including Wal-Mart, Kohl's, Macy's and Saks have cut their outlook for the year, raising worries about consumer spending.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP) -- A newly released Gallup poll taking America's moral temperature finds strong support for fidelity in marriage and increasing respect for unborn life, but in other key areas -- specifically sex outside of marriage and homosexuality -- Americans may have lost their biblical compass. And, unless all people of faith unite in opposition, pornography may be next.
Overall the trend is alarming for most. According to the Gallup organization's annual Values and Beliefs survey, 73 percent of the nation's citizens believe moral values are getting worse (up from 69 percent in 2011). This sense of moral malaise is generalized rather than specific with no one issue reaching even 25 percent as the number one issue. Lack of "compassion" or "caring" etc., reached first at 18 percent, followed by "lack of family structure" and "lack of faith/religion" at 10 percent, with many other individual issues gaining single digits.
When Gallup focused on the specifics however, sexual behavior became the battleground.
Biblically speaking, the best news coming from the values survey is that a majority of Americans still have tremendous respect for marriage. Not only do Americans overwhelmingly reject adulterous behavior in married spouses, they reject polygamy by an 81-7 percent margin.
And "pro-life" Americans should be encouraged from Gallup's findings that 41 percent of Americans identify as "pro-choice," down six percent from last year and one percent lower than Gallup has ever recorded. Similarly, 50 percent identify as "pro-life," one point below the previous record of 51 percent. The "pro-choice" decline is evident in all three major American political groupings -- Republican, Independent and Democrat. Republicans lead the way (72 percent) followed by Independents where "pro-life" (47 percent) now outnumbers "pro-choice" (41 percent). Among Democrats, "pro-choice" has declined (68 percent to 58 percent) in the past year while "pro-life" has increased (27 percent to 34 percent).
Just when champions of traditional biblical values may begin to feel good about the positive movement on the "pro-life" issue, the impact of the sexual revolution of the early 1970s shows another picture 40 years later.
Fifty-four percent of Americans find "having a baby outside marriage" "morally acceptable," compared to 42 percent who find it "morally wrong."
When sex between an unmarried man and woman is "morally acceptable" by a 59 percent to 38 percent margin, but married men and women having an affair is "morally unacceptable" by a whopping 89 percent to seven percent, you have a morally confused culture, but one that still somewhat respects marital vows.
And then there is pornography. Given the tremendous growth of the pornography industry with the rise of the Internet and its negative impact on our mainstream entertainment, the low numbers on approval of pornography are, for the moment, encouraging. As destructive as pornography is to individuals and to relationships, it is comforting to hear that only 31 percent of Americans find viewing pornography "morally acceptable" and twice as many (64 percent) do not. But some would say that it is a sign of moral decline itself when people view "only" 31 percent finding pornography "morally acceptable" as a "good" sign.
It is true that the rampant presence of ever more explicit pornography has severely impacted the nation's morals and led to ever greater acceptance of ever more deviant material (i.e. Fifty Shades of Grey, a sadomasochistic-themed No. 1 best seller.) But, at the most, acceptance of pornography at least lags behind unmarried sex and gay/lesbian relations (59 percent and 54 percent, respectively, calling each "morally acceptable") on the nation's moral compass.
If pornography ever reaches these levels of moral acceptability in American society, then all the other non-traditional behaviors will increase to much higher levels. Hard-core pornography's ability to redefine moral deviance down to an ever-lower new "normal" is truly as dangerous as it is impressive.
Americans who want to see moral reformation or "re-formation" in their culture should do all they can to confront and minimize pornography's impact on the nation's citizens, especially its young people. Pornography is the propaganda for a paganized sexual morality which will submerge our culture in a tidal wave of sexual deviance if uncontested and uncontrolled.
Every church, temple, mosque and synagogue in America should consciously seek to be part of a pornography-free counter culture which attempts to inoculate its membership in age-applicable ways against pornography's seductive blandishments. In so doing, religious Americans of all persuasions can help insure that the 31 percent "morally acceptable" rate on pornography goes down rather than up in the future.

If you're just getting to basketball or want a closer look, here's the resumes built so far in the ACC, and a closer statistical breakdown of the Tigers.
Clemson Tigers – 5-3
Top-50 RPI Wins: 0 (Led at the half or in the second half on top-20 Arizona and Gonzaga, home and neutral site respectively – ended up losing by 10 per game).
Top-100 RPI Wins: 0
101-199 RPI Losses: 0
Top-200+ RPI Losses: 1 (Oddly enough, Purdue, 73-61 at home).
Current RPI/SOS: 134/142.
Key Contributor Notes: Sophomore swing-man K.J. McDaniels has made the biggest leap of a big '11 recruiting class for the Tigers, averaging 12 points, 5 boards and is second only to a 7-footer (Maryland's Alex Len) in blocks per game (2.5) in the ACC. The lone upperclassmen, forwards Devin Booker and Milton Jennings, are also averaging double-figures and at least 5 rebounds per.
Interesting stats: 3-pointers - McDaniels leads the team with 11 3-pointers, making up almost 27 percent of the Tigers' perimeter shots made. He had seven all last season, making up less than five percent of the total. Jennings leads in 3-point percentage, at 52.6, hitting 10-of-19 in six games. Overall, Clemson is 277th in 3's made (41), but also 313th in 3's attempted (117). Steals - Clemson's forwards are leading the way in steals, with Jennings seventh in the ACC in steals per game (1.7) and McDaniels topping the team with 12 total. The Tigers are 214th in steals per game (6.6). Free Throws - Clemson is 10th in the ACC in free throw shooting percentage, with two shooting over 70 percent with a minimum of 10 attempts (Jennings – 73.3; McDaniels – 73.1). Blocks - There aren't many categories where the Tigers are not in triple digits nationally, but thanks to McDaniels and co. in the paint, they are 11th in block percentage (11.8).
Clemson/Florida A&M by the numbers
12/15: Florida A&M at Clemson
|Clemson (5-3)
|Florida A&M (4-6)
|PPG Allowed

The Brown Boi Project - working to build leadership, economic self sufficiency, and health of masculine identified queer and straight people
I was part of the Oct 2011 cohort of the Brown Boi Project leadership retreat, and while I was at the retreat I knew that this was groundbreaking work in gender justice specifically for and within poc communities. But it is in the year after the retreat that I have really seen the ways in which Brown Boi Project has remained an incredible resource, support structure, social circle, and one of the most self-aware and responsible conversations about masculinity in my life. All my gratitude to the BBP family!
Please help me honor and support this movement by donating a few dollars. Every dollar counts! Thanks very much!

At 32 years old, I found my voice. I am now on a quest to live life instead of survive it. The past is in the past, but my story must be told to continue moving forward. I hope this page gives someone else the courage to not only find their voice but share their own story. Life is good and we are worth it!
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I want to leave this little note on my own personal mini blog in dedication to my oldest sibling. This isn't late, it is just well timed. Thank you for absolutely everything you did for me.
Revelation of a strange addiction
Each relationship driven by division
Earmarked by mental derision
Always the victim
Change of course while setting pace
New tomorrows yet have no face
Settling thoughts and summoning moods for a remedy
Intelligent thoughts hold no solution in solidarity
A curse must be broken to reach sanctuary

"You raped her body. You raped her mind. You turned her mind inside out."
"…but she… SHE got YOU!"
Law and Order - Criminal Intent, quote Shared from Google Keep
Telling people that the reason your daughter won't talk to you is that "She claims to have had sexual relations with me" is your best tell yet. Ever watched a good poker game to see what people reveal about themselves …without words?
You stupid son of a bitch. I did know I outranked you in basic mental capability and skills of appropriate social interaction, but this solidifies to a curious people group… the level you will attempt to put your daughter on to prove your own non-existent worth.
This reminds me of when you read my manifesto of courage in email form… and through your pawn of a wife, offered to buy my silence for $280.
I take consolation in the possibility that the god you have conjured up… may indeed be waiting for you in your afterlife. Oh, you are so fucked.
Let me ask you something: Why don't people trust their instincts?
…It's hard to believe that the fear of offending can be stronger than the fear of pain; but do you know what? It is.

Justin Tiehen
Associate Professor of Philosophy
"Subset Realization and the Problem of Property Entailment," forthcoming in Erkenntnis.
I argue that Sydney Shoemaker's response to Brian McLaughlin's objection to the subset account of realization is unsuccessful. I then put forward my own response to McLaughlin's objection.
"The Role Functionalist Theory of Absences," forthcoming in Erkenntnis.
Functionalist theories have been proposed for just about everything: mental states, dispositions, moral properties, truth, causation, and much else. In this work I defend a role functionalist theory of nothing. Or, more accurately, a role functionalist theory of those absences that are causes and effects.
"The Cost of Forfeiting Causal Inheritance," Philosophical Studies, 165.2 (2013), 491-507.
I draw on Jaegwon Kim's causal inheritance principle to argue against Sydney Shoemaker's subset account of realization. In the process, I draw on a debate regarding the extended mind hypothesis defended by Andy Clark and David Chalmers.
"Ectoplasm Earth," Canadian Journal of Philosophy, 42.3/4 (2012), 167-186.
Distinguish the general thesis of physicalism simpliciter from the more restricted thesis of physicalism about the mental. Physicalism about the mental cannot be defined in terms of psychophysical supervenience or any alternative relation that entails such supervenience. Instead, it must be defined in terms of a form of realization that is not supervenience-entailing.
"Psychophysical Reductionism without Type Identities," American Philosophical Quarterly, 49.3 (2012), 223-236.
If you're going to be a psychophysical reductionist, must you be a type identity theorist? No. In this work I set out an alternative reductionist view, type eliminativism, and argue for its superiority to the type identity theory.
"Disproportional Mental Causation," Synthese, 182 (2011), 375-391.
I argue against the proportionality component of Stephen Yablo's account of mental causation and show that alternative nonreductive physicalist accounts of mental causation that do not appeal to proportionality can avoid counterexamples that Yablo's account is susceptible to.
"Emergence and Quantum Mechanics," with Fred Kronz, Philosophy of Science, 69.2 (2002), 324-347.
We develop an account of dynamic emergence, according to which emergent wholes are produced by an essential, ongoing interaction of their parts. We argue that this account has application within quantum mechanics, and in particular that it applies in cases involving nonseparable Hamiltonians.
Work in Progress
Why is the physical realm causal closed? What explains causal closure? I argue that physicalists are committed to one explanation of causal closure to the exclusion of others, and that as a result no physicalist can maintain that dualism is causally problematic.
A brief summary of my dissertation on mental causation.
Dissertation: Normativism and Mental Causation
All 293 pages of it.

Poway is one tough crowd. When a helmeted MC with a microphone asked the Poway Rodeo Grounds audience whether a Roman soldier should finish off a disarmed barbarian, crowd members yelled "No mercy!"
See attached video for the result.
So it went Saturday at the sixth annual Tournament of the Phoenix—a combat and pageantry demonstration from the Middle Ages and ancient Roman times.
The three-day event, ending Sunday, drew about 1,500 people on a warm day—which must have meant more than the usual gladiatorial misery for heavily armored contestants.
Among them were French, English, Canadian entrants — and one from Ramona: Jeffrey Hedgecock, whose role in starting the Poway event was described in 2010.
The Tournament of the Phoenix landed in Poway after Hedgecock, who plays polo at the Poway Valley Riders Association, and his wife, Gwen Nowrick, members of the Association, decided to pitch the idea to the board.
The board emphatically welcomed the opportunity and the only North American tournament of its kind was born in San Diego County.
"Produced by WorldJoust, the Tournament of the Phoenix was born in October 2007," according to U-T San Diego. "But just days before the inaugural tourney, the Witch Creek fire engulfed the rural areas east of Poway, leading to mass evacuations.
"Organizers initially planned to cancel the event, but because competitors and their horses had flown in from all over the world, the event opened as scheduled and hundreds of spectators showed up to watch. As a result, the tournament was renamed the Tournament of the Phoenix, because it had risen phoenixlike from the flames."
A jouster since 2003 who lists a day job as "Armourer, President, Historic Enterprises Inc.," the motto of founder Hedgecock is "Honneur seurlement entre egaux' (Honor only among equals).
"A lifelong passion for all things medieval led Jeffrey Hedgecock to a career as an armourer," said a website biography and an avocation in jousting."
He is said to have shown his armouring techniques in 2005 at the Royal Armouries Museum in London.
"Jeff and crew made the armour for the cult classic Army of Darkness, and more recently Jeff has appeared on TV in programs such as Modern Marvels, Mail Call and The Worst Jobs in History," his biography says.
"Jeffrey has jousted in Canada, England, France, Belgium, Scotland, New Zealand, Holland and at home in California, and also teaches jousting and medieval horsemanship to students all across North America."

The Promotion Director starts each year by fighting for his budget. For weeks, he goes around in circles with the General Manager in a dance that is so complicated it would even stump Mary Murphy and Nigel Lythgoe. After it's all said and done, the General Manager ultimately declares that the Promotions Department will have no budget because times are bad.
The General Manager usually goes out the very next day on a sales call and spends hours trying to convince some guy who sells ferns that without Radio advertising his product is doomed. The General Manager exclaims, "You've got to spend money to make money…," then quickly looks to his left and right to make sure the Promotion Director didn't follow him on the sales call.
The Chance of a Broadcast are Remote
Promotion Directors are miracle workers. They can magically transform 5 T-shirts, 7 CDs, 12 key chains, 1 banner, 1 foldaway card-table, and 1 microphone into "a remote". For our purposes we'll define a "remote" as anything which makes a client think the radio station has spent hundreds of dollars to create a "presence" to help boost the client's business – even if it's only some T-shirts, a card table, and a van.
Radio remotes used to involve actual on-location broadcasting. The radio personality would have a small, portable studio or equipment simulating one along with a special transmitter to "broadcast" back to the radio station. This has all now been replaced by a "cell phone".
Now, when the Promotion Director shows up with his T-shirts and card table, the radio personality – who usually stumbles in 10 minutes late and smelling like the undercarriage of a bus - simply flips open his cell phone and does what is called a "cut in". He calls the station where the guy back in the studio records 60 seconds, then drops it into the computer automation. This is not a radio broadcast – this is a calling plan.
Is the Prize Closet a Modern Day Ark of the Covenant?
The Promotion Director has other responsibilities besides remotes. He has to maintain the "prize closet" which through the years has taken on a mystique all its own. Many have attempted to find the "prize closet" but few have. Some believe it only contains T-shirts, CDs, memorabilia from movie premieres, and other promotional items usually

Today, Oct. 16, Susan Powell would have turned 31 years old.
To honor her memory and help those suffering from domestic violence, musicians and songwriters created Susan's Song: A Dream Away. The ballad memorializes Susan, the Puyallup mother of two who disappeared two years ago from Utah, and her sons, 7-year-old Charlie and 5-year-old Braden, who were murdered by their father, Josh Powell, in a Graham house fire in February.
The song was written by Camilyn Morrison after the deaths of Charlie and Braden. It is performed by Jessie Funk and accompanied by musical director for Hales Center Theatre Kelly DeHaan, both in Utah.
"It is a beautiful song from the perspective of Susan and her boys, written as a message of love and hope that Braden and Charlie are safely back inside their mother's arms," says the YouTube description.
The song is available on Amazon and iTunes. All proceeds go to the Susan Charlie and Braden Memorial fund.
For the lyrics and more information and how to donate to the Susan Cox Powell Foundation, visit susancoxpowellfoundation.net.

I was just wondering if you were related to the ones you have found in the cemetery you are taking pictures of? Thank-you for all you contribute to help others.

Celina Church Stuyverson
I noticed that you created a listing for Celina Stuyverson, at Wattsburg Cemetery, Erie, PA. I'm trying to locate her husband, Christian Stuyverson/Stuyvesant. Was he buried with her? I ask, because the stones are quite elaborate for just one person. Celina is my 3rd Great Grandmother and I'm trying to gather any documents I can so that I can apply to the Mayflower Society, under William Brewster. Celina's mother, Silvia Clark is a descendant of William Brewster.
