There's a lot in the Wendy Davis story besides Davis and her constructed and false "narrative." Here is one of Davis' most recent official statements on the matter, a little masterpiece of accusing the accusers:
We're not surprised by Greg Abbott's [her Texas governorship opponent] campaign attacks on the personal story of my life as a single mother who worked hard to get ahead. But they won't work, because my story is the story of millions of Texas women who know the strength it takes when you're young, alone and a mother. I've always been open about my life not because my story is unique, but because it isn't.
The truth is that at age 19, I was a teenage mother living alone with my daughter in a trailer and struggling to keep us afloat on my way to a divorce. And I knew then that I was going to have to work my way up and out of that life if I was going to give my daughter a better life and a better future and that's what I've done. I am proud of where I came from and I am proud of what I've been able to achieve through hard work and perseverance. And I guarantee you that anyone who tries to say otherwise hasn't walked a day in my shoes."
Poor dear, being attacked by that big bad man who doesn't understand the travails of single women everywhere! Like all Republicans.
That's the ticket, as Annie's List Executive Director Grace Garcia writes [Annie's List is a group "dedicated to changing the face of power in Texas politics – and thereby combating the assault on issues of most importance to women and their families – by recruiting, training and supporting women candidates across the state"]:
We're not surprised Republicans have attempted to undermine Wendy Davis' campaign by calling her past into question – we have seen similar attacks launched against women candidates before. The recent personal attacks on Wendy Davis and her family are blatant attempts to thwart her campaign and undermine her success…Greg Abbott is running scared and for good reason. Senator Davis' personal story is a compelling narrative of perseverance and hard work that millions of Texans have responded to. It is appalling that Republicans would attack the details of that story rather than focus on the issues affecting Texas families.
Disputing the details of Wendy Davis' life is especially offensive to the many Texas women who can relate to her story. In trying to tear down Senator Davis' campaign and her personal story, Republicans are also tearing down all Texans who have overcome difficult circumstances. It's clear Greg Abbott doesn't understand Wendy Davis' struggles and the struggles of millions of Texans, nor does he want to.
"Appalling" to question her story. She must not be questioned! To question her is to question the story of all downtrodden women. And Greg Abbott, Man (Republican Man, that is), does not understand or want to understand anything about the struggles of women. The irony that this is supposedly a feminist approach that will empower women only points out the blatant hypocrisy of Davis and her supporters, and way too much of feminism as well.
When I first wrote a draft of this post, the title was shorter, and it ended with the paragraph right above this. But before publishing, I decided to take a look at the history of Greg Abbott, about whom I knew practically nothing except that he was a man, a Republican, and white. I wondered whether there was any "narrative" of strife overcome that could be compared to Davis's, of struggle against odds or difficulties, or if he'd had smooth sailing.
I didn't expect to find much trouble in his background; perhaps a bit of financial difficulty while growing up, at the most. I was therefore surprised to discover the following:
Greg Abbott was elected attorney general in 2002. But his political trek began decades earlier – in agony.
At age 26, Abbott was partially paralyzed in a freak accident and bedridden for a month. His dream to practice law withered. But he tilled new ambitions, reading about politics during his recovery and internalizing a credo from his mother: Never say I can't.
"That is one of the more guiding principals that got me through," said Abbott, now 52. "Just because this happened doesn't mean I can't do whatever it is I wanted to do. It picked me up off of the hospital bed and got me going."
The accident – an oak tree fell and struck his back as he jogged by – kept him hospitalized and in rehabilitation for more than three months. The recovery was often excruciating. He has used a wheelchair ever since.
It also hardened his resolve and propelled him on a path toward politics. He passed the bar exam a year after the accident, excelled as a Houston lawyer and eventually was elected a judge. Abbott, a Republican, has won two terms as attorney general and is running again against retired Houston lawyer Barbara Ann Radnofsky, a Democrat.
He has used his tenure to combat child predators and human trafficking and to chime in on highly charged topics from climate change to health care.
Please read the whole thing.
This is the guy, remember, about whom Davis says:
I am proud of where I came from and I am proud of what I've been able to achieve through hard work and perseverance. And I guarantee you that anyone who tries to say otherwise hasn't walked a day in my shoes."
Since Abbott doesn't walk at all, it's a rather infelicitous figure of speech, don't you think?
And then there's Davis's parrot Garcia, who writes:
In trying to tear down Senator Davis' campaign and her personal story, Republicans are also tearing down all Texans who have overcome difficult circumstances. It's clear Greg Abbott doesn't understand Wendy Davis' struggles and the struggles of millions of Texans, nor does he want to.
It turns out that "hypocrites" is way too mild a word to describe Davis and Garcia.

The wingback settee in the second image is gorgeous - I've never seen anything like it!
Many favorite dining rooms here, which one to choose? The one from Nuevo Estilo, the one from Tim Street Porter, or the one with giant floor-to-ceiling painting or.... I could go on and on~
I love your first picture of a dining room with pink chairs and benches. Such a neat idea.
Thanks for sharing
How fabulous and comfortable do the sofas look in picture 2 (blue wingback) and the last booth? Over sized proportions really work in the right settings.
Desire to Inspire is really satisfying our chair fetish recently....good job.
Emma {My Bespoke Chair}
I really love this post, and it was actually quite helpful to me. It solidified in my mind that I really prefer the dining table and chairs not to be matchy matchy, and in fact to be different materials and/or colors. After waffling for ages, I finally ordered a dining non-set yesterday!

A kick out of reading
Collingwood's Nathan Brown enjoys Roald Dahl books most.
Photo: Simon Schluter
Sixteen AFL players destroy a sporting stereotype and tell
Penfold what ranks highest on their literary ladders.
I read books about war. My favourite author is Peter Fitzsimons who wrote Tobruk and Kokoda, they are really well written books. Fitzsimons' characters are almost all blokes and typically Australian, which gives the books a lighter side. It gives you an understanding about war and our country. I guess that I tend to prefer books that engage you in the first few chapters.
Sometimes I find it difficult to find time to read with university [Slattery studies agricultural science at Melbourne University] and football, but I read as much as possible during the day, otherwise just a few chapters at night. I like to read on planes - that is probably the best time to read.
When I am on holidays I read a lot, it is like having a holiday girlfriend. As a child I was a terrible reader. On the rare occasion that I did pick up a book, it was always something factual that I could learn something from. I still do this - I recently finished How to Legally Reduce Your Tax.
I made a new year's resolution to read more, however, at times I have found it difficult to fit it in between football training, university and music practice. An extra hour in the day would be great to just spend reading.
One of my favourite books is Miles Davis' autobiography. It touches on racism in America throughout the early 1900s and Davis' life, which was full of drug addiction, violence, music and coping with the role of being a successful black man during this era. It is a great book. As well as this, I always like to remember where I finish a novel - I wait until I am at a good place until I read the last page.
I have frequently been reading Spot the Dog lately. My five-month old son Louis loves it. At first I thought that reading to a child at such a young age was a bit of a joke, but after attending a reading expo and speaking with the experts, I realised how important it is to promote reading to kids. It can really influence their brain development. I read to Louis often, even though he spends most of the time trying to eat the book.
As for me, I read Goosebumps as a teenager, they were a favourite of mine. I still love books about crime and mystery like Underbelly and The Green River Killer. At the moment, I find it difficult to fit in time to read for myself between football and family. I would like to read more about infamous murders in South Australia.
I have always enjoyed reading. I am interested in many genres but I guess I prefer books that tell true stories like autobiographies and recounts of historical events. Band of Brothers by Stephen Ambrose is my favourite book of all time - a true story about the Easy Company infantry regiment in World War II.
I am very interested and inspired by the actions of these men and to hear their stories was both compelling and impassioning. My favourite quote from Band of Brothers is: ''There is no limit to the good a man can do provided he does not care who gets the credit.'' I enjoyed this book and its stories so much I am now reading Beyond Band of Brothers: The War Memories of Major Dick Winters.
The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay had a huge influence on me. I like how Peekay, the main character, has a goal and follows it despite facing huge obstacles along the way.
Peekay learnt that although he was involved in a competitive sport, he did not necessarily have to hate other people. Reading is a great way to relax. This is important especially when on the road or having time away from the club. My favourite author of all time is Roald Dahl.
Understanding Power, a collection of talks by Noam Chomsky, is the book that had the biggest influence on me. It allowed me to develop a critical view of global issues.
I like it because it gives an alternative view to historical events - it is always good to hear two sides of a story. I did not really start reading extensively until I was in my 20s, but now I enjoy it for relaxation. I mostly read on holidays or of an evening after the kids have gone to bed. In the future, I am really interested in reading Dreams From My Father by Barack Obama.
I love my reading. I got very involved in Dana Canedy's Journal for Jordan - it's the journal American Sergeant Charles King wrote for his baby son before being killed on duty in Iraq in 2006. I handed the book around to a few of the boys, they all had quite an emotional response. I am also currently a huge fan of Jeffrey Archer - I am currently reading Kane and Abel.
I know I sound like an old fart but reading before bed helps me to sleep. It is a habit I got into and my lifestyle has encouraged it. I find it helps me to relax and concentrate, it is not unusual for me to sit down and read the day of a big game. Not all footballers enjoy reading and that is fine, it is just something that I choose to do in my spare time.
When I am travelling interstate for games, I can normally get stuck into a good book on the aeroplane. I go through phases of reading books, however, I always read magazines and daily papers. I tend to read autobiographies.
I found the story of Lance Armstrong's autobiography very inspiring. Against the odds, Armstrong survived cancer, made a comeback to elite cycling and went on to win seven Tour de France titles. On my ''to read list'' is Busting Vegas by Ben Mezrich. It is the story of Semyon Dukach ''the darling of Vegas''.
Mum and Dad were always on my back as a kid to read more. It has only been in the last five years that I have really enjoyed the relaxation aspect of it and the escape from football it gives me.
Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code was the first book that made me realise the enjoyment of reading and how a story can take you to another place and captivate you. At the moment my favourite author is Ken Follett. I am reading his The Pillars of the Earth, which is a historical novel about the building of a 12th century cathedral in Kingsbridge in England. Playing for West Coast, I am flying across the country every two weeks for games. This provides me with a few hours quality reading time.
I am currently reading The Wolf of Wall Street - the memoir of conman Jordan Belfort. It is an interesting book - I plan to read Catching the Wolf of Wall Street once I get through it.
Growing up, I was not really a big reader, but over the past few years I have definitely become more involved in it. Like a lot of men, I tend to steer towards true crime books or any novel that has mystery behind it.
I have four children four years and under - my wife and I have read to them since they were in the womb. Developing a love of reading starts in the early years, but it is never too late. At high school I only read the required text books. Now I read frequently. My favourite place to read is while soaking in the bath.
A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle had a huge influence on me. The book's message was life-affirming. It made me more aware of living in the moment. I learnt from this book not to get caught up in your thoughts and not to be controlled by your ego. It is hard work but like football and most things in life it takes practice. The next book that I cannot wait to read is my wife's first novel - the manuscript is sitting on my bedside table.
I am currently reading The Best Of Roald Dahl - he is my favourite author. My favourite story in it is The Visitor - it has an intriguing storyline and a great twist at the end. Steve Moneghetti's biography was also a great read - he went to the same school as I did and I found his upbringing and determination to succeed in elite sport easy to relate to.
I went to a bookstore the other day and sat down for two hours to read Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. It is about a man who is struggling to come to terms with having a terminal illness. It was such an insightful book, I couldn't get my eyes off it.
What I love about books is that I can imagine the characters' appearance and the storyline in my mind - it is not all given to you like in a movie. I am quite spontaneous in how I pick books. I do not think you can judge a book by its cover and this analogy goes for footballers not being readers as well - just because we are big and muscly on the outside does not mean that we are not deep and meaningful beings.
I am currently reading three books - I am a bit of a book hopper. I guess my love for reading all started with the Goosebumps series when I was younger. They definitely created an initial spark that continued on throughout my life. I guess that my reading habits were also something that I picked up at school, it was a personal decision. Nowadays, I still read regularly.
A lot of my teammates do not read, however, there are clearly ones that do. We are a football club, not a book club, after all. In the future I would like to read The Eiger Obsession: Facing the Mountain that Killed My Father by John Harlin - it is an adventure story about a man who goes back and climbs the Swiss mountain where his father perished attempting to make the climb.
Beaten by a Blow: A Shearer's Story by Dennis McIntosh had a big influence on me. It is a brutally honest book that destroys any romantic ideas we might have about the shearer. The central character lives in a world that is often tedious, physically testing and full of sacrifice - something footballers can relate to.
I love playing football and would not swap it for anything, but sometimes the romantic stereotype of being a football player is quite different from the reality. I've started reading a lot more in the last couple of years. It is a great way to relax after training or to help get my mind off football. I sometimes read to my housemate and Carlton teammate Shaun Grigg.
He thoroughly enjoyed Spot Goes to the Beach and last week we almost got through The Hungry Caterpillar in one sitting. I am not a huge horse racing fan but I am keen to read Winners of the Melbourne Cup by Costa Rolfe as it explores a Melburnian tradition.
I studied English literature in high school but in the past I have not read as much as I would have liked to. A teammate of mine, Byron Schammer, introduced me to A New Earth by Ekhart Tolle.
It was the first spiritual book I read. It changed the way I viewed myself and the world as a whole. Since A New Earth I have read similar books but I relate the most to this one. In the future I would love to read Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman.
I was challenged by my housemates a few years ago to read a book a month over the period of half a year. With house penalties at stake, I found the time to read and have enjoyed sitting down with a book ever since. I usually read during the evening on the couch, in between my favourite television shows.
I do not have a favourite author, however the book Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart by Dr Gordon Livingston had a significant influence on me. It contains one of my favourite quotes: ''Three things required to find happiness - someone to love, something to do and something to look forward to.''
Focus on Footy is an exhibition of portraits of people who have contributed in some way to the game. It is on display in Crown's West End precinct until October 5.

An article very much worth reading, if you can spare a handful of minutes:
NY Times: A Part-Time Life, as Hours Shrink and Shift
A snippet:
At its store here, just east of San Diego, Shannon Hardin oversees seven self-checkout stations, usually by herself. Typically working shifts of five or six hours, she hops between stations — bagging groceries, approving alcohol purchases, explaining the checkout system to shoppers and urging customers to join the retailer's loyalty program, all while watching for shoplifters.
"I like it. I'm a people person," said Ms. Hardin, 50, who used to work as an office assistant at a construction company until times went bad.
But after nearly five years at Fresh & Easy, she remains a part-time worker despite her desire to work full-time. In fact, all 22 employees at her store are part-time except for the five managers.
She earns $10.90 an hour, and with workweeks averaging 28 hours, her yearly pay equals $16,500. "I can't live on this," said Ms. Hardin, who is single. "It's almost impossible."
Ouch. As a guy who hasn't worked a part-time gig since my college days, I can freely admit that I have a difficult time comprehending the worklife situations of the story's interviewees.
But if you're the sort who wants a sounding board for "Damn all these greedy corporations!" then you'll have a delightful time perusing the NY Times' article's comments section. Reading through that will require a significantly larger investment of time than the article itself!

Years have passed with no significant changes made to the podcast functionality built into the iTunes (now Music) app. As a daily consumer of podcasts, I had high hopes for Apple's newly released (June 26, 2012) 'Podcasts' app.
While some improvements were made – namely the ability to directly subscribe to podcasts from within the app – for several reasons, I will remain loyal to Downcast:
- Direct Updates, But No Wi-Fi-Only Updates: The most important new feature of Apple's new 'Podcasts' app is its ability to directly subscribe to podcasts from within the app without the need to physically connect the iPhone/iPod to a computer. Inexplicably, Apple provides no setting to limit such updates when connected to Wi-Fi only. Without this feature, Podcasts users will quickly see their monthly bandwidth allotments eaten up by podcasts downloads. This is a major fail!
- 30 Second Skip & Instant Replay, But No Ear-bud Control: Finally Apple built-in the ability to skip forward 30 seconds. Instant replay has been built-in for years. But, surprisingly, you cannot trigger this functionality with the ear-bud controls. I listen to hours of podcasts every day through my ear-buds. While walking dogs, carrying a baby or out in the winter, I do not want to have to reach into my pockets every few minutes to skip forward or rewind a podcast. And there is no Siri control of podcast playback either. Grrr!

NBA Logo Redesigns: Washington Wizards
When I posted my last NBA team logo, the team almost switched cities on me. This time I pick a team that comes out with a new logo and new uniforms while I'm working on it. My timing is impeccable.
The Team
I don't have much to say about the Wiz. I think they went from the best team name in the NBA to possibly the worst, which makes it easy to forget about their long history as the Bullets.
They always seem to have some interesting young players, but haven't been able to do much in the playoffs. They could be dangerous in a few years if John Wall turns into an All-Star and stays with the team. This year they finished 23–59, but on a brighter note, center Javale McGee recently dunked 2 basketballs at once in the dunk contest. Good times.
I had to post this picture on the right because I was absolutely baffled by it. What this gray-haired old man is doing stepping foot on an NBA court with Bird is beyond me.
Past/Current Logos
In 1963 the Chicago Zephyrs (formerly the Packers) moved to Baltimore, Maryland, and became the Baltimore Bullets. There are certainly some things I would change about this logo, but it's pretty awesome. After watching 5 seasons of The Wire, this logo seems fitting for Baltimore.
In the 1969/70 season, the Bullets adopted a new logo, and eventually moved to Washington D.C. in 73′. I can see why the team might not want actual bullets in their logo. I used to like this logo more but looking at it now, the s is pretty messed up. In 1978, the Bullets finished 44–38, and somehow went on a crazy playoff run to win their only championship, led by Elvin Hayes and Wes Unseld.
In 1995, the team announced that it would be changing it's name. Owner Abe Pollin claimed that the high homicide and crime rate in D.C. in the 90's made him uncomfortable with the name. The team held a contest to find a new name, eventually settling on Wizards. This name ended up being equally controversial because apparently Wizard is a rank in the Ku Klux Klan. Bad times all around. The team colors changed to match the Washington Capitals, and NHL team owned by Pollin. I've never really liked this name, or logo, or colors. Something about that W made by the wizard's beard just pisses me off.
Here is the new logo the team released last week. It looks like they are trying to get closer to the old Bullets branding with the colors and typography. The wizard looks a little better, but I think they would have been better off starting with something new.
It isn't easy to make a wizard look cool. My idea from the get-go was to use the negative space from the overlapping Ws to create the shape of the wizard. I soon realized that a big white wizard with a pointy hat was not gonna be acceptable, so I had to work around that. The blue and red, and the simplified typography are athrowback to the old Bullets logo that I liked so much.

Hey guys,
We've been working hard on the album and we're pumped about how it's sounding. Our initial release date was Feb but it's taking longer and we wanted to let you know why. This is our first new record in 5 years and it's important to us that we nail it.
We just finished re-doing the bass (we weren't happy with the first sound we pulled) and it sounds killer now. This week we borrowed a bunch of vintage guitar amps from friends and Bob has been laying down more guitar parts. After that comes percussion and experimenting with other sounds, then vocals. All up there's about another 10 weeks of recording to do.
It took a while to find the right artist and concept for the vinyl / CD covers and t-shirts. We've got the perfect person on it now and it's looking awesome- we'll post pictures when they're done. There's a lot of other stuff going on behind the scenes too, like planning the album tour. We're independent and organising these things takes time.
After we've finished recording we'll need around 8 weeks to mix and master the record and manufacture everything. We've also got the opportunity to tour Canada between April and June, beginning with some meetings at Canadian Music Week. It's an amazing chance for us to grow the band and set up something big for the album release so we're jumping on it.
Which means we'll be shipping the album to you guys in September. To say thank you for your patience, all our crowdfunding backers are getting a download of our "Live From The Basement" album this week so keep an eye on your email.
We'll be running our crowdfunding right up until we start pressing the vinyls and CDs so you've got a few more months to contribute if you'd like to help: pledge.thesunpilots.com. Thank you to everyone who's contributed so far. It's going really well but we need to raise more to cover mixing and mastering and we're hoping to avoid borrowing money if we can.
That's where things are at right now. More updates to come!
-Raj, Bob, Kay and Stefan
PS. We're releasing another new song preview next month so stay tuned...

Nice to see another Aborted fan.
Archaic Abbatoir is the only album I have heard from these guys, and it was cool. I might look more into the rest of their discography
Album Rating: 4.5Yeah this is their best album good review.
Album Rating: 3.5one of the best death metal albums .................i need more from them
Why did I forget about this band? They're pretty damn good.
Album Rating: 4.0This album seems to party like its 1990-Excessively tight guitar work, beastly blastbeats and some very well interwoven dialogue from some of the world's most renowned horror films, including the scientifically disturbing 'Re-animator'. The vocals here aren't quite to my taste, but they certainly do have the same level of ferocity as the music itself.
Digging: Erdve - Vaitojimas
Album Rating: 3.5oh indeed another crazy album of Aborted
Engineering the fucking Dead
the title track has the sound clip of Re-animation
which is sick horror
mad album good review simple summary
the movie samples are hilarious, but damn this slays

WOW! What a nice car
By bsmith7859 on
Vehicle2011 Hyundai Elantra GLS 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 6A)
ReviewI have had it for 2 weeks now and 1000 miles. The car got 37mpg on the highway from the dealership and I'm averaging 32.5 on country roads. The mpg should pick up more as the car gets broke-in. Fun to drive on twisty roads, and from a start it actually takes off well. It is a lite car and on rough roads you get moderate road noise and the bumps are noticable, hey its not a 5000lb caddy, your going to have that. The seats are so comfortable and I love the bluetooth and all the other goodies. Had some snow on the roads and gave me a chance to play with the traction and stabilty control, I would purposely put the car in a slide and the car would quickly straighting itself. I love this car.
Best FeaturesXM radio, bluetooth, soft and comfortable seats, traction and stabiltty control, heated mirrors. Most windshieds are curved on the sides, and the passenger side wipper never seems to sit flush on the windshield and in the witer ice builds up on the tip of the wipper blade. The elantra has a very large windshield that is nearly flat all the way across, no annoying ice build up. Excellant warrenty. Got a great deal $16999 for a GLS with the perferred option package, it had a msrp of 18480. almost forgot, love the desert bronze color and how the body lines look in different lighting.
Worst FeaturesCan't think of any right now. Maybe hyudai can buy out GM. Go to bigflats, NY. good deals.

Thanks for the comments about driving in the snow because I was wondering how the Elantra would handle in bad weather. It sounds as if Traction Control really works.Report it

Since Hugh Jackman started playing Wolverine, we've had 3 different Spider-men, 2 Batmen, Chris Evans went from being a cocky Human Torch to being Captain America, and people are questioning if there are too many comic book movies being released on a yearly basis. When X-Men debuted in 2000, we were a few years removed from the debacle that was Batman & Robin. There were no cinematic universes. It was a different environment 17 years ago.
I do not remember there being much fanfare surrounding the release of X-Men. I remember going to see it on a whim, even though that whim did happen to be on opening day. But there was no reason to think then that we would still be talking about those actors playing those characters. And while some have been replaced by younger versions since they went backwards in the timeline, there has been one constant. Hugh Jackman has been Wolverine throughout. That all comes to an end with Logan. Logan is expected to be the final time Hugh Jackman portrays Wolverine on film. I say "expected" because you should really never say never.
I say all of this, because I believe Logan works better when viewed as the swan song for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, rather than as the next movie in a long line of X-Men movies. It is easier to think of the movies in two distinct timelines. You have the original timeline, which includes X-Men, X-Men 2, X-Men: The Last Stand, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and The Wolverine. Then there is the First Class timeline, which includes X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of Future Past, and X-Men: Apocalypse. Days of Future Past links the original cast with the First Class cast, but I think it is simpler to put it in the new timeline, since it retcons events in previous movies anyways. Now, the question is where does Logan fit in. The answer to that is a giant shrug. They do not attempt to fit it in anywhere, and that is fine. (more…)

Immigrant without green card wins law license
Updated 6:25 pm, Thursday, January 2, 2014
With an assist from California lawmakers and a judicial seal of approval, a man who was brought to the United States as a toddler, put himself through law school and has waited nearly two decades for legal residency was granted a license to practice law Thursday.
The state Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Sergio Garcia's undocumented status does not disqualify him from becoming a lawyer, and that the final obstacle was removed when the Legislature passed a law allowing otherwise-qualified applicants to join the bar regardless of their immigration status.
"There is no state law or state public policy that would justify precluding undocumented immigrants, as a class, from obtaining a law license," Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye said in the ruling.

Federal law would still prohibit Garcia from working for a law firm or any other paying employer. But state officials say he could represent clients as an independent contractor, and Garcia plans to do so despite arguments by Obama administration officials that he would be working illegally. The court addressed that dispute but did not resolve it.
"Sergio in his entire adult life has attempted to find ways to make a living while staying within the law," said his attorney, Jerome Fishkin. "There's nothing in state law that would prevent him from representing a client. ... He's here to work, not here to take unfair advantage of the American system."
No other state has authorized immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally to practice law. The ruling will affect at least one other immigrant whose application is before the California court.
Garcia, 36, lives in Chico, where he has a paralegal business and also works as a motivational speaker.
His parents brought him to California from Mexico when he was 17 months old. When he was 9, the family returned to Mexico. It was there, Garcia said in a recent interview, that he first thought of becoming a lawyer at age 10 when he saw poor people being held in jail because they couldn't afford to bribe the police.
The family returned to the United States when Garcia was 17, and his father, now a legal U.S. resident, applied for legal status and a green card for his son. The government found him eligible and put him on a waiting list of applicants. Garcia is still waiting.
After attending college and law school, he passed the bar exam on his first try in 2009. But the state's high court, which oversees lawyer licensing, withheld approval while it considered Garcia's immigration status and opposition from the Obama administration.
The U.S. Justice Department argued that Garcia's application was barred by a 1996 federal law prohibiting state and local agencies from granting any "public benefit," including professional licenses, to immigrants who lack legal status.
But that law exempts states that specifically allow immigrants lacking documentation to become attorneys. With barely a week left in this year's session, both legislative houses overwhelmingly passed such a law, and Gov. Jerry Brown signed it.
The administration then withdrew its objections. Some individual attorneys asked the court to reject Garcia, arguing that he could not comply with an attorney's oath to obey the Constitution. The justices disagreed, noting that illegal immigration is not a crime.
In investigating whether Garcia was "morally fit" to be a lawyer after he passed the bar, the court noted, the State Bar found that Garcia was "a well-respected, hard-working, taxpaying individual who has assisted many others and whose application is supported by many members of the community."

As everyone knows, 2000 was the year when people got very excited and then bored with dotcoms. The bubble grew, then burst, and all those cynics said "I told you so". It's now much more fun counting the dotcom failures than guessing how large a sum they will get upon flotation.
But as 2001 gets underway, and the dotcom frenzy fades into memory, the question has to be asked – just what are all those IT lawyers doing now?
For the likes of Linklaters & Alliance, burst bubbles are not really an issue. While it rode a high-profile wave, when the tide turned it had no problems adapting. After all, an international magic circle member has the resources to shrug off such things and return to the sort of work that got it to the top in the first place. And for those heavy hitters still doing e-initial public offerings, people only care these days about the behemoth deals – Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Orange, enough said.
But what about the smaller firms, the mid-tier players who have boosted their technology departments on the back of fledgling internet companies?
The technical side of IT work obviously continues unabated. But what is going to fill the corporate IT void left by the dotcom deflation? One contender is the glamorous, fast-moving and funky sector of IT outsourcing. Okay, so I lied about the glamorous, fast-moving and funky bit, but when your IT practice is still rip-roaringly busy and the fees, which are notably higher than initial public offering rates, are still coming in, who cares about sex appeal?
Clients hire outsourcers for one of two reasons. Either they know nothing at all about IT and get a company in which does, or it is a way of saving costs. Outsourcers are associated with the infrastructure of IT, not the dotcoms. The very fact that it is not glamorous, fast-moving and funky means the area is less vulnerable to the ever-changing preferences of investor and market fads.
The deals are also closer to traditional commercial and corporate transactions. Often a transfer of assets is involved, meaning the IT/corporate partner must be backed up by lawyers from the tax, property and employment departments. As well as higher fees, contracts tend to be meaty – tens of millions of pounds as opposed to hundreds of thousands – and often last as long as 10 years, changing as IT needs alter and technical breakthroughs occur. And more often than not the external firm will be called upon.
A range of firms already have a strong presence in this area. The big five will often work for clients who are outsourcing and while firms such as Allen & Overy, Shaw Pittman, Field Fisher Waterhouse and Masons regularly advise players such as EDS, Accenture (formerly Andersen Consulting) and ICL.
Masons has a long-term relationship with ICL, often working on deals valued at around £1bn. As The Lawyer revealed last week (15 January), ICL widened its informal panel to include Barlow Lyde & Gilbert as one of its core advisers, after Barlow Lyde advised on a £10.5m 10-year contract – not huge by outsourcing standards but a foot in the door.
Barlow Lyde has three major outsourcing clients: ICL, Pricewaterhouse-Coopers and Gap Gemini – only three but what a group of clients to have. While the firm only occasionally cashed in on the dotcom boom, it did not get its fingers burnt when the collapse came.
But what is the real joy of this sort of work? It is recession-proof. True, those companies which outsource because they would rather have someone else get their hands dirty with all that technology nonsense will no doubt drag it back in-house as soon as a whiff of a bumpy landing appears. But for those businesses that do it to bolster the balance sheet, outsourcing will continue to save them money in a recession, when every penny counts. And that will continue to keep the lawyers' coffers full too. Which makes just about everyone happy, regardless of sex appeal.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Driving a camouflaged minivan with "missiles" and "machine guns" may make a statement about America's prisoners of war. But the message can get muddled when the missile van breaks down next to Nashville International Airport.
Jeffery Smith painted his van in camouflage colors and erected wooden missiles and machine guns as part of his tribute to service men and women who are missing in action or were prisoners of war, in support of the veterans group Rolling Thunder. He said he likes to show it off to children and exhibit it in parades to raise awareness.
But on Monday evening, the 170,000 miles on his van caught up to him.
"Of all the places to break down, I had to break down in front of the airport," Smith laughed.
Nashville and airport police rushed to the scene. There they found what looked like a well-armed military vehicle.
Police brought in an explosives-sniffing dog, but all the weapons turned out to be made of either plywood or PVC pipe. Smith was allowed to go about his business with no charges pressed against him. His missile van was towed away for repairs.
Smith said he has no hard feelings. In fact, he said he would have been disturbed if nobody called police on his broken-down van.
"I can understand," he said. "You see a van sitting at the end of the runway, four Stinger missiles on top and two .50-cal machine guns."
Smith said he's repaired the van and plans to keep driving it.
"It's not the intent to scare people. It's a military tribute vehicle for our servicemen and women who have served our country," he said. "Hopefully, if someone sees it, they'll remember someone in the military."
Airport officials suggested maybe he take another route next time.
"It's not the best idea to go somewhere near an airport with something like that," said airport spokeswoman Shannon Sumrall. "Even if it's just for show."

A distinctive spectacle exists within the music realm that recently graced the Rialto Theater stage here in Tucson. It is one that is unmatched in its ability to unify the youthful and the aged alike, bringing the Rialto's varied occupants together by the collective power of rhythm, lyric, syncopation, and harmony. This artistic force has captivated listeners across generations and created an intersecting line between adolescents and geriatrics. It is a force that goes by the whimsical name of Yo La Tengo.
Formed in 1984, Yo La Tengo consists of husband and wife duo Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley, along with close friend James McNew. The New Jersey natives quickly made a splash in the fledgling genre of shoegaze, an effects pedal and distortion driven form of music that originated in England during the 1980's. Persistence, energetic live performances, and an ability to write diverse song structures quickly granted the trio a sense of notoriety within the music culture.
Nearly three decades of musical evolution have made Yo La Tengo what they are today: a 13 album veteran of a band that has become a favorite of the true music connoisseur. Though the group has never broken into the mainstream, many popular musical acts that thrive today were more than likely, at some point, finding inspiration from one of hundreds of Yo La Tengo songs. They are Indie Rock Godfathers, the OG's of American shoegaze, and trailblazers of underground music culture.
It is with this vast repertoire of experiences that Yo La Tengo took to the Rialto stage as a true monument to song. The band, all in their 50's, began the evening with soft compositions of ballads from their latest album, Fade. The stage lights were dimmed, and wooden cutouts of trees were brought to the forefront in order to fashion a sort of makeshift organic setting. From the onset of the first note, the hush of the audience made it clear that Yo La Tengo had already begun to win the adoration of each and every one of the hundreds in attendance. Each of the bands members had separate opportunities to steal the show with their own vocals, yet what truly struck a chord with the glowing faces at the foot of the stage was when all three members harmonized with one another. It was a beautiful display of musical mastery that gave off a Simon and Garfunkel meets Death Cab for Cutie vibe.
After a brief intermission, Yo La Tengo discarded the organic setting and replaced it with brilliant lights and large amplifier stacks that informed the crowd it was time to take the evening up a notch. From here they began a more rock and roll oriented set that displayed their ability to shift and mold various genres of music. If any members of the audience were beginning to feel fatigued with the coming of the ten o'clock hour, this put an end to it. It was nearly impossible for a body to be present within that building without dancing to the beat, singing along with the infectious lyrics, or cheering on 56-year-old Ira Kaplan as his fingers produced whaling guitar solos while lifting his instrument over his head.
The day that Yo La Tengo finally calls it quits will be an emotional one. It will leave a gapping hole within the music world that has taken 30 years to fill. But they will not go unremembered, or uncelebrated. Music enthusiasts will always have their memories of nights like May 6th, 2013, at the Rialto Theater. Their memories of the luminous lights, the possessive sounds of song, and the encompassing feeling of rock and roll in its purest form, will endure. That is, was, and will always be what Yo La Tengo is all about.

Clyde and I are waking up this morning to a much different scene than we did just one short week ago. I have to admit we are still trying to wrap our minds around what happened last Friday, but I can tell you one thing: without all of you out there, we would be curled up in a ball in bed, crying over our woes. Now the tears we have are those of gratitude for everyone's kindness and concern that has been shown to us over the past week.
So many of you have asked about what happened and what our plans are, that I wanted to update you with as much as we know. Plus, if you haven't seen the ruins of the winery on facebook, I'll share a few of those shots below. (If you just want to remember Peaceful Bend as it was, I'll give you a warning later before we get into the pics.)
Many of you know already that Clyde and I have been living and taking care of his Mom in the cottage on our property for most of this year. Last Friday, I woke up early – somewhere around 3am – and couldn't get back to sleep, so I decided to just get up and head to the winery to get a jump start on the day. When I stepped out onto the porch of the cottage, I could see the winery completely engulfed in flames. I ran inside, woke up Clyde and called 911 at that time.
By the time the fire crews arrived, the building was basically gone and fire had spread into the woods uphill from the winery. They were able to quickly contain the forest portion and also limped our tractor out of the way of the burning building. By around 5 or 6 that morning the firemen had put out the worst of the hot spots and left saying that what was still there would continue to smolder for several days. It was too hot and still dark, so there was little the fire marshal could do to investigate at that point.
We ended up going inside and sitting, numb to what had just gone on, for at least an hour or two. My parents were staying over at Murphy's Place, so eventually I went over to tell them what happened, and to use my neighbor's computer to let you all know too.
That day and throughout the week, you all flooded in messages of support, love, encouragement, and condolences. Our facebook page and our email was filled to the brim, and neighbors began stopping by to offer us anything they could. I don't know what we would have done without each and every one of you that reached out in any manner.
You're messages were the lifeline out of our despair. Because of your support, I can say that we will rebuild. I don't know how or when yet, but we will rebuild.
The insurance fire investigation began on Tuesday and is still open, so there isn't anything we can do for clean up yet. We've spent the week getting things like bank cards, driver's licenses, instructions for what to do next, etc underway. We do have a phone hooked back up to the winery number. It goes directly to voicemail for now, but will try to return calls as quickly as we can.
So many are wanting to know what you can do, so I am sharing two fundraisers that are going on. If you are ok with giving money and you live nearby, our friend Lee Watson is hosting an evening of music, food, and a silent auction at his barn in Cuba, MO on December 17 starting at 3pm. For more information about that, please click on over to his facebook event page here. For those who aren't nearby, another friend named Lea Baker has set up a GoFundMe page to collect donations here.
For those of you who can't give money for any reason, but still want to do something for us, I do have a huge favor to ask. I can't tell you how much it's picked up our spirits and propelled us forward to hear from you all during this dark week, and I'm guessing that we'll still have some hard days ahead. Could you choose a day in the coming weeks/months ahead and send us a note, email, fb message, phone call or stop by if you're in the area? If you don't know what to say, you can share a memory, you could encourage us, drop a line saying 'just checking on you', let us know what you're up to, relate your favorite bad pun, or tell us to get off our butts and get more wine ready for you dangnabbit!
Thank you in advance.
Ok. I'm about to share photos. For those of you who want to remember the winery as it was, don't scroll down.
The view from the driveway.
What's left at the top where the front porch, tasting room entrance, and crush pad used to be.
Looking down into the main wine cellar from above.
Looking at the section of the building that faced the lower wine garden. Friday we had a recycle bin, but by Saturday that had burned away along with the bottom of the steps.
A wider look from the lower wine garden. As you can see, Maggie and Pepe have not let the fire dampen their spirits!
Our new tractor. UGH! Clyde loved this thing. The fire crews were able to start it and move it out of the way, so we have hopes this can be repaired.
What's left of the 2016 vintage.
Two pieces of pottery that my mom gave me years ago somehow survived falling through the storage room floor into the wine cellar. Plus this melted piece of ??aluminum?? looked like modern art, so we might save it. Call it our Phoenix.
As tragic as all this feels, the sunlight is still golden in the wine garden, and the pavillion is intact (plenty of chairs even!). Friends and family are even more precious to us now.
Pepe's bed is still intact, but he's definitely been missing his dose of treats this week!
And my sense of irony is still intact. I found this in the hay field above the winery a day or so after the fire.
I think that's all I've got for now. We meet with the fire marshal this morning and after that, I'll try to get an email out to our newsletter subscribers. Again, I can't thank you all enough for everything – we are truly blessed to have you in our lives and are looking forward to toasting you with a glass of our wine again.

Police hunt man after tile shop shooting
A man who fired seven shots into a tile showroom at Broadview in Adelaide this morning is still being hunted by police.
The gunman opened fire on Sunbeam Tiles shortly after 10.30am ACDT.
In total, seven shots were fired through the window of the Regency Road showroom.
Moments later the offender dumped his late model utility in the busy Greenacres Shopping Centre.
He then escaped down a laneway, possibly still armed with a gun.
Police collected from inside the car bullet casings, gloves and tape that was used to cover the vehicle's numberplate.
It is unclear what the motive was for the attack. No one was injured.
The offender is described as aged in his mid-30s, with short, light brown hair and wearing tracksuit pants and a T-shirt.

Nina Garcia isn't the only Latino viewers are tuning in to see on season eight of Project Runway. Two Latino contestants—freelance designer Mondo Guerra, 32, and fashion designer Casanova, 33—help stir up the drama and keep us (and the clothes they create) in stiches.
While Guerra is rather calm, cool and collected, Casanova is anything but. From episode one, the Puerto Rican designer nearly broke down after his spanking new, $1,070 Dolce & Gabbana pants became Valerie's newly designed dress in the first challenge. Although he's been on the chopping block on more than one occasion, Casanova is last week's challenge winner (giving him immunity for next week's elimination). On the other hand, Mondo got an early start, winning the episode 2 challenge.
You can catch Project Runway on Thursdays at 9 p.m. EST on Lifetime.
So what do you think...

nvestigators said they are comparing several other cases where vehicles evidently stolen in the United States that wound up in Syria, Texas Plumber's Ford F-250 Truck Shows Up in Syria Mounted With Islamic State (IS) Terrorists' Guns I have Told You So Since 2004 About These Vehicles, This is not the first time a US based vehicle has shown up in Syria or Iraq used by Islamic terrorists.
A Texas plumber has been receiving threats after a photo emerged of Islamic extremists in Syria firing a high-powered gun from the bed of his old pickup, which still bears his company's logo on the door. An extremist group, Ansar al-Deen Front, posted the photo of its fighters aboard the Ford F-250 sometime on Monday. That prompted a flood of calls to Mark Oberholtzer, who owns Mark-1 Plumbing in Texas City, and has nothing to do with Syria's bloody civil war. "How it ended up in Syria, I'll never know," Oberholtzer told The Galveston Daily News. Oberholtzer told the paper that he traded in the truck three years ago. The Houston dealership he turned it over to, AutoNation, told KHOU.com that the truck was auctioned at wholesale and sent to Turkey.
This is not the first time a US based vehicle has shown up in Syria or Iraq used by Islamic terrorists. A Texas SUV loaded with exposives was found in Falluja Nov. 18 2004 and was one of al-Masri's truck bombs, the vehicle came from Houston TX via Dubai UAE to iraq, the used car company that sent the vehicle is based in Houston and Tampa Fl. Investigators said they are comparing several other cases where vehicles evidently stolen in the United States that wound up in Syria or other Middle East countries and ultimately into the hands of Iraqi insurgent groups — including Islamic State (IS) and Al Qaeda in Iraq, see http://www.billwarnerpi.com/2008_04_27_archive.html
Inspector John E. Lewis, deputy assistant director of the FBI for counterterrorism said the origins of the vehicles in question were unearthed by tracing the vehicle identification numbers, or VINs. Some of the automobiles can be easily identified, specialists said, while others have had their VINs ground down or have been fitted with fake ones. Investigators believe the cars were stolen by local car thieves in US cities, then smuggled to waiting ships at ports in Los Angeles, Seattle, and Houston, among other cities (Tampa), see http://www.billwarnerpi.com/2008_04_27_archive.html
