Esquire IMAX Theatre
1219 K Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Esquire Theatre was operated by Blumenfeld Theatre in 1941. Taken over by the Pussycat Theatres chain from 1974 to the early-1980's. It was twinned in the early-1980's and then turned into offices.
The theatre is now once again showing movies, with the IMAX format, and includes first run 3D features in its programming.

Phantasm and Every Which Way But Loose. That's one interesting double feature.
Re: Posting above by Bob Koch…If you are still around, let me know. I met you years ago when I was a young 'pup' just getting started in 'theatre management', (1950) in Sacramento. You seemed to 'pop' up 'servicing' in every area I went to work. Started at the 'California' and 'Studio' in Sacto. Later in Chico; Modesto; Alameda. Hope to hear from you for 'shop talk'. J.

Cellar/Tasting Notes Owned and managed since the 1920s by the Borie family of Ducru Beaucaillou, Haut-Batailley is often overlooked in the midst of its more famous neighbors. The wines are made with the same care as other Borie properties (Grand-Puy Lacoste and Ducru, e.g.). Typically medium-bodied, Haut-Batailley is..
Cellar/Tasting Notes This blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot is an up-front, seductively styled Pauillac (one of the more forward and evolved wines from this appellation in 2010). Deep purple, with exceptionally subtle texture and oodles of cassis fruit as well as hints of mocha and white chocolate, it is..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Enticing aromas of toffee, cream, dried apricot and caramel, Full-bodied, very sweet and thick, with honey and caramel flavors. Long and rich, oozing with sweet ripe fruit, this s like liquid candy."
Cellar/Tasting Notes A sexy blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, the robust 2007 Monbousquet displays lots of toasty oak intermixed with sweet kirsch, blacker fruits, and spice box. Plush, medium to full-bodied, and supple textured, it is ideal for drinking over the next 7-8 years.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Beautifully elegant, noble, racy. A blend of 77% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Very tight green flavors, herbaceous, with lively fresh fruits, but restrained into a taut, mineral jacket."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Light to medium gold with a greenish hue, this wine exhibits wonderfully pure notes of wood spice such as vanillin, honeyed citrus, a hint of under-ripe peach, and touches of creme brulee and marmalade. With great acidity and finesse, this is a medium-bodied, impressively endowed, but generally..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Very polished tannins that caress the palate. Full body. It's fruity, pretty and refined. The mineral and berry character comes through in a subtle way. Second wine of Pichon Lalande
Cellar/Tasting Notes "An outstanding effort, Branaire's 2007 exhibits floral-infused black raspberry, boysenberry, and mulberry notes as well as a decidedly blue fruit character. Attractive, elegant, and medium to full-bodied with beautiful fruit, density, and texture, it should drink well for 10-12 years."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The Sigalas-Rabaud has a well defined nose: grapefruit, nectarine, honey and lime, much more primal than some of the other 2009s. The palate is very well balanced with excellent acidity: apricot, honeysuckle, a touch of orange zest and then vibrant white peach bursting across the finish with lime..


text: ON THE COVER: In the early 1900s, geneticists believed that gene mutations contributed to evolution and diversity, but it was unclear how such mutation occurred; the rarity of spontaneous mutations made studying the underlying mechanism difficult. In 1927, H.J. Muller reported work that conclusively established that the treatment of Drosophila germ cells with X-rays induced mutations that were inherited through subsequent generations (Science 66, 84–87). This led to future work focusing on the structural changes involved in mutations as well as to studies of dominance and selection. One of the phenotypes that Muller studied was that of eye color. On the cover is a compilation of images that show four different Drosophila eye colors. The eye color of a fly bearing the wild-type allele of the white gene is shown in the upper left panel, and the phenotype of a complete loss-of-function allele of white is in the lower right panel. The upper right panel displays the phenotype of a hypomorphic white allele, known as white apricot. The lower left panel shows the phenotype of another white allele known as white mottled-4. Special thanks to Jennifer Griffiths and R. Scott Hawley of the Stowers Institute for Medical Research for providing these images and the accompanying text.

Europa / Abeni / Elan appreciation societyRe: Europa / Abeni / Elan appreciation societyI'd rather it stayed together, which it's new owner has promised to do. When I packed it up, the Laprade seatpost wasn't even stuck. Amazing for something that has pretty clearly been out in the weather for a while.
So we get the leaders we deserve and we elect, we get the companies and the products that we ask for, right? And we have to ask for different things. – Paul Gilding
but really, that's rubbish. We get none of it because the choices are illusory.
Re: Europa / Abeni / Elan appreciation societyhi, all i found an Europa at the second hand markets near my work, and its owner found $80 in my wallet. ive been after one for a while but now not sure if i can be bothered, to much other stuff going on. i was curious to know what brand and when i used a bit of acetone to get rid of the awesome fresh paint job that covered the sticker and surface rust i was quite taken back. ive never seen an Europa moto-bmx. As far as i can see its mostly complete save for the rear wheel, seat, grips, brakes, and yes......the spokey dokeys. ( will sell the spokey dokeys on ebay for about $500 min, because they are original and a must have for all vintage pushies ) i uploaded some pics on flikr but cant figure out how to put the images on, as ive not done it for a while.
steel is the real deal.

Re: Europa / Abeni / Elan appreciation societyI have recently gotten an Elan bicycle that i'm about to get road worthy again. I don't really know much about it. I'm not sure of the year or what the frame is made out of. I'm guessing it maybe about 1990?? The groupset is 400ex shimano. It feels reasonably light. I'm not sure where it would stand in the range of Elan bikes. The chain ring is biopace. It has UKAI 700c wheels.
Its missing the front brake caliper and the brake handle for the front appears to be a little damaged as well. So the brakes are the only thing that need to be sorted before I can ride it. The headset looks straight to me as far as I can see. I'd never heard of Elan before. But I found this at a garage sale and it looked like it was worth saving. As far as I can tell the drive train seems to work well with out any slipping on the few test rides i've done. I'm looking forward to getting this thing going . I'll try to post links to photos below. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i275/ ... bc3067.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i275/ ... 473316.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i275/ ... 3dc7af.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i275/ ... 5a34ee.jpg

This is a delicious meze (appetizer) made with yellow split peas (or lentils). Santorini is the island that is known to grow the best yellow peas in Greece - and this recipe derives from there. It is very delicious and healthy - use it as a dip or slather it on good-quality, crusty bread and enjoy with a glass of white wine! Although this looks like a long time to make a recipe - it is mostly passive cooking time of the peas - the recipe itself is a breeze!

The academy had a rule that artists were ineligible for Best New Artist if they had ever received a Grammy nomination in any category. That may seem reasonable at first glance, but the rule kept two prime candidates, Jennifer Hudson and Lady Gaga, from competing for Best New Artist in the past two years.
Hudson had been nominated in 2007 for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album For Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media for Dreamgirls, in which she appeared with Beyonce Knowles and Anika Noni Rose, among others. Gaga and Colby O'Donis had been nominated in 2008 for Best Dance Recording for her breakthrough smash, "Just Dance."These early recordings preceded the release of their debut albums, Jennifer Hudson and The Fame, respectively.
Hudson and Gaga were caught in a classic Catch-22. Grammy rules dictated that artists could be considered for Best New Artist only when they released a full album. But when those artists finally did release their debut albums, they weren't eligible for Best New Artist because they had previously received Grammy nominations in other categories! They literally couldn't win. To its credit, the Recording Academy saw the problem and fixed it this year.
The correction came too late for Lady Gaga, who would almost certainly have won Best New Artist in January if she'd been eligible. She was nominated for all three of the leading awards, Album, Record and Song of the Year, which is highly unusual for a new artist. (The Best New Artist winner, country favorites the Zac Brown Band, wasn't nominated in any of those marquee categories.) Hudson, too, might have won Best New Artist in February 2009 if she'd been eligible. She certainly would have been nominated. Her Jennifer Hudson album won for Best R&B Album, beating Al Green's Lay It Down. (Green is a long-time Grammy favorite, with 11 awards to his name.) Adele, a blue-eyed soul singer from England, took home the award as Best New Artist. For awhile, it looked as though Drake and Kid Cudi would suffer the same fate that befell Gaga and Hudson. Both artists were nominated for multiple awards at the 52nd annual Grammy Awards on Jan. 31. Drake was a contender for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Solo Performance, both for "Best I Ever Had." Kid Cudi was nominated in both of those same categories for "Day 'N Night" and also for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for "Make Her Say," a collabo with Kanye West and Common. This would have put the artists of luck, even though their debut albums were released in the current eligibility year, which began on Sept. 1, 2009. Drake's EP So Far Gone and Kid Cudi's Man On The Moon: The End Of Day were both released on Sept. 15. Drake's first full-length album, Thank Me Later, was released three weeks ago. It is already #10 in sales for the year-to-date. Now that he's eligible, Drake has an excellent chance of winning the award. His main competition will include Susan Boyle, Ke$ha, Kid Cudi, Justin Bieber and B.o.B. Drake would be the first rap artist to win as Best New Artist since Arrested Development took home the prize way back in February 1993. Even with the rule change, if an artist actually wins a Grammy in any category, they are still precluded from competing for Best New Artist when their debut album is released. So if Hudson or Lady Gaga had won on any those early nominations, they would still have been knocked out of the Best New Artist race.Here are the current Best New Artist eligibility requirements: "The artist must have released, as a featured performing artist, at least one album but not more than three; and the artist must not have been entered for Best New Artist more than three times, including as a performing member of an established group. Any previous Grammy nomination for the artist as performer precludes eligibility in the Best New Artist category (including a nomination as an established performing member of a nominated group)."
These rules remain in effect with the following exception. "If an artist/group is nominated (but does not win) for the release of a single or as a featured artist or collaborator on a compilation or other artist's album before the artist/group has released an entire album (and becomes eligible in this category for the first time), the artist/group may enter this category in the eligibility year during which his/her/their first album is released."
That is written in Grammy-ese, which is only slightly easier to understand than Mandarin. But here's the bottom line: Drake will be a Best New Artist nominee, and quite possibly the winner when the 53rd annual Grammy Awards are telecast on Feb. 13.

This is a follow to to my previous message. I have a Nikon D300 camera. Would like to purchase a camera lens to take close ups of flowers, etc. Could you recommend a good choice lens to start with?? Was thinking about the 105mm/F2.8 micro-nikkor lens?? please give me your input.
Depending on the working distance you need, Nikon has three (actually four) great macro lenses. 60mm, 105mm and 200mm. For a DX focal length conversion, add 50% to each lens, so the 60 becomes a 90, the 105 becomes a 152 and the 200 becomes a 300. Nikon also has an 85mm macro PC lens but it's a specialty lens and cost about $1300.
If you can get away with a 60mm, also look into the 55mm macro AIS lens which can be picked up for about $200 on ebay. The only problem with the 55 is you have to manually meter and there is no autofocus. But it's a very sharp lens,
If you can get away with a 60mm, also look into the 55mm macro AIS lens which can be picked up for about $200 on ebay. The only problem with the 55 is you have to manually meter and there is no autofocus. But it's a very sharp lens,
I shoot with my D200 and the 55mm MicroNikkor with stunning results. There is a menu item "Non-CPU Lens Data" where you enter the 55mm focal length and the f-2.8 maximum aperture, which it remembers. Next time you mount the lens, you only have to tell the camera that you have the 55mm.
Once this is done, you have full colour matrix metering, lacking only 3D data, due to lack of CPU. My macro exposures have all been perfect. I do not miss autofocus with the MicroNikkor at all, macro is actually easier by setting the distance on the lens and moving the camera to focus.
All my AI-S lenses except the old shift PC-Nikkor work like charms (the newer PC lenses do work fine). I have a 600mm mirror lens that uses a T-mount, that I thought might cause a problem, but get fine exposures with it, as well as with an ancient T-mount 100mm Spiratone Portragon soft-focus lens with a fixed aperture of f-4.0. It must have set me back at least $20 back then, and works delightfully well on the D200. A single glass element. :-)
I use the 105mm. The 60mm doesn't give a good working distance for live creatures (butterflies etc).
I bought the Sigma 150mm and I really like it. You can get a good distance away from insects. I really like the idea of portraits with this lens also but you have to have quite a distance for that also, which sometimes doesn't work well. It doesn't have VR but it hasn't really been an issue for me.

Professor of Law
Brigham Young University Law School
April 13, 2005
United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary
Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Property Rights
"Less Faith in Judicial Credit:
Are Federal and State Marriage Protection Initiatives Vulnerable to Judicial Activism?"
April 13, 2005
Written Testimony of Lynn D. Wardle
Professor of Law
Brigham Young University Law School
I am honored to have been invited to testify before this important Subcommittee of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee this morning about a subject of great importance. My name is Lynn D. Wardle; I am a professor of law and for nearly 27 years I have taught Family Law and other courses including Conflict of Laws and the Origins of the Constitution. Both the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and the proposed Federal Marriage Amendment concern all of those fields. Thus, I have been asked to give my professional analysis regarding the sufficiency of federal and state DOMAs, and need for a federal marriage amendment. Of course, the opinions I express are my own professional views; I do not speak for any of the institutions or organizations with which I am associated.
In the summer of 1996, I was privileged to testify before a subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives in favor of the proposed Defense of Marriage Act. I entitled my remarks "Protecting Federalism in Family Law," because one of my major concerns with the effort to legalize same-sex marriage then was that it threatened a serious erosion of federalism in family law, as well as substantive flaws. Later that summer, I also was privileged to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee in support of the proposed DOMA. I entitled my statement "A More Perfect Union - Federalism in American Marriage Law," again emphasizing the threat to structural federalism. I explained that if any state legalized same-sex marriage (as state courts in Hawaii were then threatening to do), gay and lesbian activists, and other supporters of same-sex marriage, would try to force other states to import and accept same-sex marriage under federal full faith and credit doctrines. I urged Congress to pass the Defense of Marriage Act to clarify and establish as a matter of congressional authority under the "Effects Clause" of the constitutional provision regarding Full Faith and Credit that each state could determine for itself whether or not to treat same-sex unions as marriages. Congress saw the need, and passed the Defense of Marriage Act by overwhelming, bipartisan votes of 85-14 in the Senate, and by 342-67 in the House of Representatives, and DOMA was signed by President Clinton on September 22, 1996. Congress was wise to anticipate the developments that have driven more that forty states to pass state DOMAs either by legislation, by constitutional amendment, or both (including 14 of 14 proposed state marriage amendments approved overwhelmingly by voters in the past year alone).
I remain a firm believer in the value and validity of the Defense of Marriage Act. It is a critical piece of legislation. As we approach the end of the first decade of DOMA, however, it appears that DOMA alone will no longer be sufficient to prevent the judicial federalization and coerced imposition of same-sex unions on the states. That is why a Federal Marriage Amendment (FMA) is necessary. A Federal Marriage Amendment is necessary (1) to constitutionally protect and preserve DOMA, (2) prevent the broad federalization of family law, (3) to prevent judges from constitutionally mandating same-sex marriage or marriage-equivalent civil unions (herein called collectively "same-sex marriage"), and (4) to protect the substructure of the Constitution.
DOMA Is In Danger
DOMA is primarily a structural federalism law. DOMA prevents federal full faith and credit principles (constitutional, statutory or judicial) from being used to force states to recognize and accept same-sex marriages created or recognized in other states. It also prevents courts and others from mis-interpreting or stretching federal statutes or common law so as to import same-sex marriage into federal law. Thus, it preserves the policy power of the states and of Congress to decide this issue for themselves as against full faith and credit and statutory or common law interpretation claims. That was and is very important.
DOMA was intended to preserves the right of Congress and of each state to determine for itself whether same-sex marriage should be recognized, and to what extent. Section 2 of DOMA was enacted in response to the open strategy of many gay and lesbian activists asserting that if any one state allowed same-sex marriage, they would invoke federal full faith and credit principles to force all other states to accept and recognize them. It resolves that potentially serious controversy concerning federal Full Faith and Credit marriage recognition rules by clarifying that if a state chooses to legalize same-sex marriage, it may not force that radical redefinition of marriage upon the other states. It preserves the right of each state to choose for itself whether to recognize same-sex marriage. Section 3 eliminates a potentially serious ambiguity in federal statutes, regulations, and programs regarding the meaning of "marriage" in federal law, preventing the back-door importation of same-sex marriage into federal law without the approval of Congress. Both sections leave undisturbed the power of each state to define marriage for itself, and to control the incidents of marriage provided by state law.
However, DOMA is only a statute, and "[m]any commentators argue that the second section of DOMA violates multiple provisions of the U.S. Constitution, including the Full Faith and Credit Clause, the equal protection component of the Due Process Clause, the Equal Protection Clause, the Bill of Attainder Clause, and the Privileges and Immunities Clause." Appendix 1 to this statement lists 30 articles, comments and notes asserting that DOMA is unconstitutional which I found from reviewing a sample of 20% of 269 "hits" of law review and journal pieces. Law professors and legal commentators are not the only ones making this assertion. Court decisions in New York and Iowa have recently called into question DOMA's constitutionality. Moreover, in decisions that have serious implications for the federal Defense of Marriage Act, two state courts in Washington have ruled that a state DOMA is unconstitutional state constitutional doctrines, and a federal court in Nebraska has ruled that that state's DOMA violates the prohibition against bills of attainder in the U.S. Constitution. DOMA is clearly constitutional, but the motivation to promote and establish same-sex marriage has become so strong in certain segments of our society, including apparently in some courts, that the fair, honest, and consistent interpretation and application of precedents and doctrines can no longer be taken for granted.
Efforts to Legalize Same-Sex Marriage Seriously Threaten Federalism in Family Law
Second, power centers have shifted, requiring federalists to adjust to the new threat to the principle of federalism in family law from judges who have gone further and quicker toward compelling legalization of same-sex marriage than anticipated. Less than two years ago, at an academic conference at the University of Oregon Law School in June, 2003, I presented a paper in which I criticized the proposed Federal Marriage Amendment because I wanted to protect and preserve the important principle of federalism in family law. However, since then, many state and federal courts made radical rulings using various constitutional doctrines to force states to legalize same-sex marriages or unions. The lawyers seeking to legalize same-sex unions cited at least eight broad constitutional doctrines to support their claims, and those courts relied upon elastic interpretation of at least six expansive constitutional doctrines in ruling in favor of same-sex unions. The use of such wide constitutional premises to define marriage as a matter of judicial interpretation of constitutional doctrine and to impose same-sex unions on the states makes a mockery of federalism in family law and would effectively destroy what is left of that important principle of federalism. Courts in eight states already have ruled in favor of same-sex marriage (though some have been overturned or are not final), and cases are currently pending in eight states challenging marriage laws disallowing same-sex marriage.
The threat to federalism of a narrow, focused federal marriage amendment is small indeed compared to the threat to federalism from the growing practice of judges giving expansive interpretation to already broad constitutional doctrines (such as equal protection, due process, privileges and immunities, and even such historically narrow ones as full faith and credit and bill of attainder) as a pretext for imposing their personal political preferences (such as for same-sex unions) upon the people. That is why I have changed my own view about a proposed Federal Marriage Amendment in the past two years, from opposition to strong support. I still advocate federalism in family law, but it is now clear that the best (perhaps only) way to preserve and protect the heart and core of federalism in family law is to pass a Federal Marriage Amendment.
From a federalism perspective, it might be preferred if the issue of same-sex marriage were not constitutionalized at all. Regrettably, however, the same-sex marriage issue has already been constitutionalized by these court decisions under a variety of constitutional doctrines, and the pace and tempo of political judges ordering same-sex unions is increasing. It is too late to say that the issue should not be constitutionalized - it already has been constitutionalized by nearly a dozen court decisions.
While many of the state courts have acted under the state constitutions, the state constitutional doctrines they have applied have close federal counterparts, the tissue separating the state and federal versions of the constitutional doctrine is very thin and porous. Thus, the use of state constitutional doctrines to mandate legalization of same-sex unions is only the first step of a simple two-step process leading to the interpretation of comparable federal constitutional doctrines to mandate legalization of same-sex marriage or unions.
Accordingly, it is now absolutely clear that the issue whether to legalize same-sex marriage or equivalent status and benefits is well on its way to being constitutionalized and federalized. The only questions are (1) who will decide what the constitutional rule will be - the courts, acting through constitutional interpretation, or the people, acting through constitutional amendments, and (2) what the controlling constitutional rule will be - preservation of the historic and unique legal status, rights, and benefits of the institution of conjugal marriage, or extension of all or most or some of the rights, status and benefits of marriage to same-sex relationships. In these circumstances, advocates of federalism in family law must ask which method of deciding what the matter will be will best preserve and revitalize the principle of federalism in family law - if federal courts extend broad constitutional doctrines to mandate the legal creation of same-sex marriage, or if a narrow constitutional amendment addressing the specific issue of same-sex marriage is proposed, passed, and ratified. The judicial extension of broad constitutional doctrines (such as those noted above) to mandate legalization of same-sex unions would open the door to judicial determination of many other (virtually all) family law issues because the federal constitutional doctrines involved are broad and general. By comparison, the adoption of a narrow constitutional amendment establishing a definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman would have relatively minimal spillover effect on other family law issues. Just as the Loving v. Virginia decision imposing a constitutional standard on the definition of marriage did not undermine federalism in family law, so also adoption of a Federal Marriage Amendment to reject an extraneous definition of marriage that promotes "gay rights" will not undermine federalism in family law. Thus, from the perspective of protecting federalism in family law, the enactment of a federal marriage amendment is necessary and crucial.
Judicial Rulings Attempt to Cram-Down Same-Sex Marriage By Creative Interpretation of Substantive Constitutional Provisions
Since DOMA it only a statute, it does not address or redress claims that substantive constitutional provisions or doctrines - such as equal protection, due process, privileges and immunities, freedom of religion, establishment clause, or the bill of attainder clause - trump DOMA because they are constitutional doctrines and DOMA is merely a statute. In 1996 it was believed that a mere structural statute would be sufficient to preserve the issue of same-sex marriage for the people to decide. It seemed unlikely that courts would stretch and distort substantive constitutional doctrines so far as to force the American jurisdictions to legalize same-sex marriage. Sadly, in recent years, the situation has changed dramatically.
A mere structural statute is no longer sufficient. In less than a decade, the movement to legalize same-sex marriage has succeeded in constitutionalizing the substantive issue, and activist judges have turned a political position into a substantive constitutional requirement - by irresponsibly radical misconstruction of equal protection, substantive due process, privileges and immunities, and other doctrines. With arrogance and intellectual gymnastics not seen in decades, some courts today are ruling against the civil rights embodied in the institution of conjugal marriage, holding that laws restricting marriage to union man-woman are "irrational" and dumping loads of ad hominem pejorative rhetoric on the unique and millenia-old social institution of conjugal marriage.
The reason for this push to constitutionally mandate same-sex marriage is obvious. Marriage is the great prize. It is the primary mediating structure through which values are transmitted to society in general and to the rising generation, in particular. It is such a powerful social institution that political movements seek to capture marriage in order to mainstream and spread their political agendas. Marriage has always been an appealing target for social reform movements because the institution of marriage is so crucial to the organization of society and the transmission of social values. The effort to legalize same-sex marriage is just the latest political movement seeking to remake society by capturing (redefining) marriage. At least twice before extraneous ideological movements have succeeded in capturing marriage for the purpose promoting their ideologies, and those stains on our nations marriage laws were only finally repudiated in 1967 in Loving. Just as the Constitution was used to protect the institution of marriage then, it is appropriate for the Constitution to protect the institution of marriage now from the latest campaign to "capture" marriage.
Since the values and legal policy preferences of the people about such fundamental social institutions as marriage are not irrelevant in a democracy, it is important to emphasize that whenever the people of this country have been given the opportunity to express their position about legalizing same-sex marriage, they have unequivocally rejected it. The voters in Hawaii and Alaska in November, 1978 rejected same-sex marriage by 70%, and the voters in Kansas last week (April 5, 2005) also rejected same-sex marriage by 70%. In every state in which the people have been allowed to vote on a constitutional amendment to the state constitution to prohibit and reject same-sex marriage, they have ratified such amendments by overwhelming majorities, ranging from 57% in Oregon to 86% in Mississippi. Not a single one of the eighteen proposed state marriage amendments that have been taken to the people for a vote has failed to be ratified. State constitutional amendments protecting the institution of conjugal marriage are scheduled for popular vote in three additional states this year or next, and similar amendments are pending in the political process in thirteen (13) other states. Additionally, 26 other states have some statutory protections for the institution of conjugal marriage; only six states lack any state constitutional or statutory protection for the institution of conjugal marriage. Clearly, the people strongly favor constitutional protection for the institution of conjugal marriage as a matter of their civil rights.
Protecting the Substructure of the Constitution
Finally, the radical redefinition of marriage poses tremendous risks for not only the institution of conjugal marriage, which is the basic unit of society, but also for our constitutional system of protection for basic rights and liberties. A wise commentator nearly 170 years ago observed about the new American republic:
I consider the domestic virtue of the Americans as the principal source of all their other qualities. . . . No government could be established on the same principle as that of the United States with a different code of morals. The American Constitution is remarkable for its simplicity; but it can only suffice a people habitually correct in their actions, and would be utterly inadequate to the wants of a different nation. Change the domestic habits of the Americans, their religious devotion, and their high respect for morality, and it will not be necessary to change a single letter in the Constitution in order to vary the whole form of their government.
Thus, enactment of a Federal Marriage Amendment is a prudent and necessary remedy to the dangers that threaten both the institution of conjugal marriage and the principle of federalism in family law. Marriage is the primary mediating structure through which values are transmitted to society in general and to the rising generation, in particular. As Grund perceived nearly 170 years ago, it is critical to protect that basic social unit in order to preserve our Constitutional system.
For these reasons, I urge the Senate Judiciary Committee to report to the Senate that there is a critical need for Congress to prudently consider and promptly propose a carefully-drafted federal marriage amendment. Appendix 1: A Partial Listing of Some of the Law Review Publications
Asserting that DOMA Is Unconstitutional
(A Westlaw search of the law journals and reviews database on April 5, 2005, identified 269 separate articles, essays, comments, notes, etc., published in American law reviews that use the term "unconstitutional" within 50 words of "DOMA" or "Defense of Marriage Act." The sample of 30 pieces here listed, found by reviewing the most recent 55 hits, supports the inference that a large portion of those 269 pieces assert that DOMA is or should be declared unconstitutional.)

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Of all of the musicians to emerge from the burgeoning alt-country scene of the '90s, few have been as deeply rooted, consistent, and successful as The Bottle Rockets' Brian Henneman. It's somewhat fitting, then, that Henneman's band has dubbed itself "the best band in the world." While the tagline might come across to those unfamiliar with the band as pompous, if you ask Henneman himself, it's more of a matter of self-deprecation mixed with self-efficacy.
"Well, I might as well say it, 'cause there ain't nobody else that's going to say it," Henneman said jokingly. "You've got to get a rumor started somewhere."
And Henneman has never been short on giving fans a chance to start rumors over the past 20 years, first appearing on Mountain Stage as an additional guitarist with alt-country forerunners Uncle Tupelo. It's a performance that serves as a somewhat of a landmark for the vocalist and multi-instrumentalist.
"My last show with them was their first show with Ken Coomer on drums, which was at Mountain Stage," Henneman said. "It would have been January of 1993, right before The Bottle Rockets started."
Despite leaving the internally tumultuous Uncle Tupelo to focus on his own band, Henneman's ties to Jeff Tweedy led to a spot as a session guitarist on Wilco's debut record, "A.M."
"It really felt exactly like Uncle Tupelo at that time. There was no sense it could become huge," said Henneman of his short stint in Wilco.
With The Bottle Rockets gaining momentum of its own, Henneman passed on the chance to join Wilco full time. The way he tells the story, there's plenty of room for rumor and speculation.
"I vaguely remember Jeff asking if I wanted to join and I declined because we had just done (The Bottle Rockets') second album," he said. "I would have been fired quickly into the proceedings with them, I'm sure."
"At that time I probably felt we had more going on at that time than they did," added Henneman with a laugh.
With eight studio albums and two live recordings under their belt, Henneman and company have clearly done something right. Carrying on with Henneman's ability to navigate the busy alt-country scene, The Bottle Rockets have employed a similarly adaptive ethic.

SWEENEY, MAYOR December, 1967 PROPOSE NEW SYSTEM OF SANITATION CHARGES The Village Board has proposed a change in the method of charging for sanitation pick-ups, due to the Nassau County Supreme Court decision in May on a suit filed by Julius Gerzof. The change will affect, primarily, owners of business and apartment prop-erties, who would be required to contract individually with the village for refuse pick-up ser-vice. A public hearing on the new law, originally scheduled for Decem-ber 11, was postponed to allow rewriting of parts of the ordin-ance for clarification. The law would provide for taking sanita-tion costs completely out of the general tax levy, for both resi-dential and commercial taxpayers. Owners of one and two family homes would receive a separate charge for garbage pick-ups, in-stead of having it included in their general village tax. Com-mercial property owners would no longer be taxed for sanita-tion but any who wish to utilize the village service would enter into a contract at rates based upon the volume produced by each establishment. The problem arose when the Vil-lage Board attempted to enact a more equitable system of charges to cover the cost of sharply in-creased volume from commercial enterprises. Commercial volume had doubled in two years while residential volume rose only 10#. Home-owners pay about 70% of the total tax load, and commercial properties 30#. A schedule of charges was estab-lished for commercial pick-ups, but this method was held invalid by the court. The court ruled, in effect, that the ordinance was void because it did not relate the sanitation charges to the a-mount of tax paid by each prop-erty owner, while the revenue for all other sanitation services was included in the general tax levy. Therefore the Village Board had to provide a different basis for charges, to obtain the addition-al .revenue necessary for the op-eration of the sanitation and incinerator departments. This was estimated at $55,000 for the current fiscal year. Trustees: Henry M. Altengarten, Frank W. Somers, George H. Fairberg, Thomas J. Lovefidge Village Clerk: John J.

That's how the finances of the Freeport Diamond Jubilee cele-bration stood on Thanksgiving Day, as reported by Clinton E. Metz, president of the non-profit corporation and Village Historian. "A large number of our citizens gave assistance in one way or an-other, Mr. Metz said,"and we are grateful to all of them. The newspapers, Village News and ra-dio stations also deserve our thanks for informing Freeporters about the celebration activities and conveying a favorable image of our community. "We feel that our village's 75tn anniversary celebration, achieved the purposes of: greater civic awareness, knowledge of the com-munity's heritage, an economic 'lift through favorable publicity, stimulating desire for a better tomorrow, and two by-products, new friendships among Freeporters and Jubilee fun for residents of all ages." In thanking all who helped make a success of the big celebration Mr. Metz said space would not allow the publication of the names of all who served on the many committees. Hundreds of persons gave of their time. "Bad weather plagued the cele-bration on many occasions," Mr. Metz said. "Several events that were expected to raise funds lost money instead. This could have drowned the Jubilee in red ink if there had not been a hard core of officers, co-ord-inators, committee heads and other workers so loyal that they refused to be discouraged. "Often plans had to be changed, new workers brought in, the help of other organizations enlisted, benefit programs added, or bud-gets trimmed. This required close teamwork. I think it is only fair to cite the special services of Vice-president Robert J. Raynor, who devoted so much time and effort over a period of nearly two years." Before the celebration began, the Village Board provided $1500 which was used to help the cor-poration get organized and pay preliminary expenses until it became self-supporting. A GIFT SUGGESTION Have you a problem finding the right gift for relatives and friends? The answer could be a Diamond Jubilee Commemorative Book, featuring historical infor-mation, articles and photos of your community, at a cost of only $1.00. You might add one of the "$75 Bills" souvenir certificates which also sell for $1.00. You may order by mail, sending check or money order to Freeport Diamond Jubilee, 46 North Ocean Avenue. The Diamond Jubilee items may also be obtained at the Vil-lage Hall cashier windows, the Municipal Power Plant on Sunrise Highway, the Memorial Library on Merrick Road, or from Jubilee vice-president Robert Raynor at 64 South Grove St. (Steinmetz). The Commemorative Book - illus-trated with photos of Freeport past and present - contains ar-ticles that would be enjoyed by present residents of the village or those who have moved. It would surely help revive old memories for someone who spent childhood days in Freeport. Besides an over-all history of Freeport, there is a listing of most important dates, articles on various aspects of village life - churches, recreation, volunteer firemen, police, schools, and other informative material - even poetry by local bards. An added dividend will be the knowledge that you are contribu-ting towards the expenses in-curred in providing the year-long celebration. Art Carney would have been a natural for the show, but the village couldn't get him for the closed-circuit TV inspection of the sewer lines, a special pro-gram designed to find out if drainage water is seeping into sewer pipes and causing an un-wanted increase in volume at the sewer plant. Expansion of the sewer plant to handle increased volume is being planned, but the costs could be lessened if part of the increase is found to be caused by seepage into pipes.
