Officer came to door and ask to talk to boyfriend.. I tried waking him at least 4 times returning to the door each time. I had 3 small children inside sleeping and would not let them in without a warrant. Three months later my name was in the news paper under wanted and I turned myself in...

Lawsuit / Dispute Attorney
Hire an attorney. Stay off the internet. Talk only with your lawyer about your defense.
More details are needed to know what defense you might fashion
Criminal Defense Attorney
There must be more to this. At least, I hope so. No one has to let the police in or talk to the police in that situation if they do not have a warrant. Retain an experienced criminal attorney in your area as soon as possible to review your case.
Immigration Attorney
Hire an attorney and do not discuss the facts of your case with anyone except an attorney in private.
This is general information and not legal advise. This communication does not create a lawyer-client relationship.
General Practice Lawyer
There is no duty to let police in without a warrant. No crime here unless boyfriend was on probation or he had a warrant out and the police told you he did.
Car / Auto Accident Lawyer
You certainly could be. Hire a good local attorbey and strategize your case with them.
My answer to you question does not constitute legal advice. Only an in person or telephone consultation will result in an attorney/client relationship. Please do not rely on brief answers without checking with an attorney in a confidential consultation.

Kevin James, Non-Entity in L.A. Mayor's Race, Latches on to Non-Issue, Rape Kits
Gay Republican mayoral candidate Kevin James, who has no shot at becoming the leader of L.A. City Hall, has finally found the issue that could turn things around for his campaign:
That's right, the would-be mayor and conservative radio (870 KRLA AM) talk show host today hanged his star on this non-issue with an online video ad:
Fair enough. It's a valid concern ... last year!

You see, while the backlog for DNA testing on rape kits was an embarrassment for the LAPD for a few years, the department caught up with its testing ... last year!
That fact is even noted it James' own video!
So why, why James?!
Well, to be fair, James wants to take credit for the issue. In a statement he trumpets his ...
... involvement as a radio broadcaster in the elimination of the rape kit backlog in Los Angeles. Despite victims' pleas for assistance from LA City's elected officials, few would pay attention until Kevin James raised the issue nightly on his radio program. Eventually the rape kit backlog was completely eradicated.
Yeah, Kevin, it was your three listeners who really made this happen.
Well, we will give you this, KJ: Latching on to non-issues is a staple of L.A. City Hall politics.
Even if you don't make it in 2013 as you battle the likes of Eric Garcetti, Wendy Greuel and Jan Perry, you will have certainly learned to take your eye off the ball like an L.A. political pro.

LYNWOOD, Calif. -- The 2008 Fullcourt Press Fall Hoops Classic didn't have a plethora of high-major prospects, but it was chock-full of intriguing underclassmen.
The story of the event may have been the coming out party for 6-6, wiry senior Quincy Lawson (Vista, Calif.). Lawson was a virtual unknown prior to this weekend, but after watching him dominate all comers in a variety of ways for three games it would not surprise me if ends up at the mid-major level or higher.
In the gold-medal game The Hood, the name for Dominguez high school's team during the offseason, dominated the runner-up Gamepoint out of San Diego 77-55 to capture the championship.
The Hood was led by their All-American 6-foot-7 Jordan Hamilton (who has yet to find out if he will be eligible this coming season) as well as 6-2 senior Myron Green, 6-5 senior Thurman Woods and 6-4 junior Keala King. The overall depth coach Russell Otis has corralled the past couple of seasons is astounding -- he could have eight Division I prospects on his roster. In other words, whether Hamilton is eligible or not should not deter the Dons from being one of the favorites for the Division 1 state championship.
In the silver division championship game, California Select defeated a youthful Belmont Shore squad 68-54 behind a balanced attack of 5-11 Antonio Biglow (Stoneridge Prep), 5-8 Dominique O'Connor (Los Angeles/ Westchester) and 6-7 junior Dwayne Polee (Los Angeles/ Westchester). Belmont Shore was led by 5-11 sophomore dynamo Cezar Guerrero (City of Industry, Calif./ Workman) with 25 points.
Standout Players
Quincy Lawson (6-6, 185)
Senior, Vista, Calif.
Lawson went from the surprise category to the list of standouts with his outstanding all-around play at this event. Although his brother Kenny plays at Creighton, it's amazing that Quincy wasn't unveiled to the AAU circuit until his senior season. He has an outstanding frame with long arms and is very athletic. He is somewhat of a 'tweener at this stage; he possesses the prototypical wing-type body, but his skills are not yet polished enough to play that position. His perimeter skills need to tighten up, but he can handle the ball in the open court and he is a gifted passer. His jump shot is a work in progress, but he made a number of 3-pointers this weekend. He is very active and quite bouncy around the basket. He utilizes his length to snag rebounds against taller opponents and deflect passes into the post. Lawson is a diamond in the rough with tremendous upside, it will be interesting how his recruitment unfolds in the coming months.
Jordan Hamilton (6-7, 220)
Senior, Compton, Calif./ Dominguez
Hamilton was a man among boys at this event. He is the most gifted scorer on the West Coast and might have the most polished offensive game in the country. He is a menace in the open court and a very underrated passer. He has range on his shot out to 25 feet and he is equally effective in a catch-n-shoot situation and off the bounce. He has good straight-line speed, but he doesn't possess great lateral quickness. He has a variety of ways to score at his disposal and he also possesses that killer instinct, especially on the offensive end. There have been many times in the past where Hamilton has lost his composure and he has a tendency to hunt for his own shot far too often, but at this event he played under control and kept his emotions in check.
Chris Manresa (6-9, 230)
Senior, Las Flores, Calif./ Tesoro
Manresa—think a poor man's Kevin Love—displayed his skill and overall savvy throughout the weekend. He has a mature frame that is Division 1 ready with long arms and has some of the best hands I've seen on a big as well. His fundamentals and overall feel for the game are high-level. He possesses quite the arsenal on the offensive end. Whether it's a strong drop-step move where he uses his huge frame to ward off potential shot-blockers or his soft shooting touch out to the stripe, he is quite polished on the offensive end. He uses the rim well for his reverse finishes and he is equally effective with either hand. Furthermore, despite not having great quickness or bounce, he can face up and take his defender off the dribble utilizing his outstanding footwork. In addition to his scoring prowess he has an innate ability to pass the basketball. He has a terrific feel for the game and is one of the best passing bigs I've seen this season. Despite all his skills, Manresa could play with more intensity at both ends, especially in transition.
Myron Green (6-2, 190)
Senior, Compton, Calif./ Dominguez
Green is one of the more underrated prospects on the West Coast. He is a good 2-guard with a strong frame and solid athleticism. He isn't overly quick and/or bouncy, but Green has a great feel for the game and he is always on balance. His game has progressed nicely since his sophomore season, and he should now be considered a Division I recruit. His outside shot is smooth and his release is textbook. He is much more effective in a catch-n-shoot situation than off the dribble, but overall his shot is effective. He is getting better off the bounce and does a nice job using his strong frame to convert inside. Despite his size, he is an excellent rebounder and isn't afraid to mix it up in the paint area. In addition to his toughness, his demeanor is outstanding. He rarely gets rattled during the game and handles adversity very well.
Dwayne Polee (6-7, 190)
Junior, Los Angeles/ Westchester
Polee may be the most explosive athlete in the West, regardless of class. He is one of the few prospects around the country who is equally bouncy off one foot in transition or two feet in the paint. His most effective move other than a dunk is his ability to come to a jump stop off the drive and weave his way to the basket. However, despite his surreal leaping ability, the rest of his game is far from polished. His ballhandling is shaky, especially in the half-court set, and he is rarely on balance when he is pulling up for his jump shot. In addition, he doesn't have a very good feel for the game -- Polee's shot selection and decision-making are troublesome -- and he plays every possession like it's a pick-up game. On the other hand, there is still a significant amount of upside to his game. Whether or not Polee's perimeter skills and savvy develop, he still can be an effective player at the next level. Due to his extraordinary athleticism, he could be a terrific rebounder and shot-blocker. He attacks the offensive glass with a vengeance; he gets a bevy of put-backs and follow dunks. On the defensive end, he has excellent timing and plays hard on every possession.
Norvel Pelle (6-8, 180)
Sophomore, Compton, Calif./ Dominguez
No one at the event had as much upside as Pelle. Although his skills and fundamentals are in their infantile stages, his athleticism and upside are off the charts. He is extremely quick off his feet and his timing at both ends is outstanding. Pelle played for two teams, and while he is strictly an interior player for his high school team, he unveiled his perimeter skills while playing for his AAU team. He can handle the ball effectively in the open court and his outside stroke is smooth out to the 3-point stripe. Overall, his game is rough around the edges, but his future is certainly bright. He needs to continue to develop his post game and footwork, but with his frame it wouldn't surprise me if he ends up a face-up 4-man for the next level. He has a very quick first step to the basket and he is a deceptively efficient passer in the post as well as out on the perimeter. Defensively, he is one of the better shot-blockers on the West Coast, due to his length and bouncy nature. He also possesses solid lateral quickness.
Surprise Players
Frankie Edwards Jr. (6-7, 180)
Junior, Los Angeles/ Cathedral
Edwards was merely a project a year ago; however, he has added a couple of inches to his wiry frame and his skills have improved immensely since the regular season. He is yet another lefty who has recently been unveiled here on the West Coast. He has a feathery shooting stroke out to the stripe and he understands how to square up for his shot and remain on balance. His release is tight and overall his shot is smooth. He has developed a face-up game in recent months and he has the ability to take defenders off the bounce. He struggles converting inside due to a lack of strength, but the skills are there. He needs to polish up his handle; defenders who get into him tend to make him struggle and become turnover-prone. Overall, he has the upside to be an intriguing face-up 4-man for the next level.
Xavier Johnson (6-5, 180)
Freshman, Temecula, Calif./ Chaparral
Johnson projects as one of the top prospects in the Class of 2012 on the West Coast. This gangly lefty is far from a finished product, but his length is impressive and his feet are enormous. He can play multiple positions despite his youth. He doesn't have exceptional quickness yet -- Johnson's still growing into his body -- but he changes speeds very well and can get to the rim off the bounce utilizing his long arms. In addition to being able to slash to the basket, he is also a solid rebounder. He is pretty quick off the floor and his length allows him to snag rebounds amongst the bigs. His jump shot, which is more like a set shot, is a tad unorthodox (he has a high release), but he can nail the midrange pull-up and his shot has a soft landing. Overall, Johnson has a bright future and with his blossoming athleticism and developing skills.
Kevin Panzer (6-8, 180)
Junior, San Juan Capistrano, Calif./ Capistrano Valley
Panzer had an up-and-down summer, but at this event he displayed all the skills and upside that make him such an intriguing prospect for the next level. At his size there may not be another 4-man around the country who can shoot like he can. His release is textbook and he has range out to 23 feet. He is very good at spotting up for his shot and he is far from selfish. In addition to his prolific shooting stroke, he is quite bouncy around the rim; he had a number of outstanding finishes around the basket. He still needs to get stronger and much tougher around the basket, but he still has two years left before he reaches the next level. He is an excellent passer, especially in the half-court set, but his ballhandling is shaky when defenders get into him. Panzer should be an excellent fit in a motion style offense in which he could come off of screens and shoot or be lethal in a pick-n-pop situation.
Fullcourt Press notes
• Keala King, a 6-4 combo-guard out of Compton, Calif./ Dominguez, continued to demonstrate why he will be one of the most recruited prospects a year from now. He is a unique talent that is extremely skilled and smooth and has innate ability to find open teammates.
• He needs to considerably tougher and play with more urgency, but 6-9 junior Dennis Kramer (La Costa Canyon, Calif.) has a lengthy frame, very good hands, and an excellent touch around the basket.
• In addition to Quincy Lawson, Gamepoint (based out of San Diego) had two of the most prolific shooters of the event in 5-11 junior Joe Hudson (Escondido, Calif.) and 5-10 sophomore Johnny Dee (Rancho Buena Vista, Calif.). Each has a textbook release and can get it off quick as well.
• Although he was terrific in the silver division championship game, 5-11 sophomore Cezar Guerrero (City of Industry, Calif./ Workman) needs to develop more pace to his game (plays way too fast) as well as learn better shot selection. At this stage, he is an undersized scoring guard masquerading as a point guard.
• He doesn't have a true position yet, but 6-1 sophomore Bruce English (La Verne, Calif./ Lutheran) plays hard at both ends of the floor and is very explosive around the basket.
• Todd Lewis, a 6-3 freshman out of Etiwanda, Calif., has a very bright future. He has a prototypical frame for the 2, with long arms and overall great length. His jump shot looked solid out to the stripe and he possesses very good lateral quickness.
• Dominguez picked up another good looking prospect in 5-10 sophomore Chris Brown. He is a true point guard with solid length as well as savvy. The jury is still out on whether he has that second gear to blow by defenders, but his passing was high-level.

A cloud of elaborate eyes shoots down from the bustling cosmos and wisps delicately into a fine tornado-like point that makes contact with the dark, churning ocean of bobbing eyes. This drawing is incredibly detailed; you can see close-ups below. This piece is a fusion of my intensely-detailed black ink drawings and my equally-detailed colorful abstract work. The two come together in a rich marriage of style and energy. My abstract artwork is very process-oriented and carries a spiritual meaning related to the mystery of existence and a reverence for the unfolding process of life. The designs in this drawing arose spontaneously in a stream-of-consciousness manner. While working on drawings that are this detailed, I become so immersed in the work that drawing the images becomes a meditative process through which I strive to achieve balance amidst chaos (similar to the concept of mushin). The colors and designs arise spontaneously and reflect my interest in tribal and aboriginal art, specifically in the act of storytelling through nonrepresentational means. My abstract art is also heavily inspired by my world travels, particularly my visits to remote tribal villages in the Kutch region of India, as well as my visits to temples and roadside shrines in Sri Lanka, India, and Nepal.
(This image is a detail side shot of the artwork. A full-sized version of the piece may also be seen in my photostream!)

Tour de force,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention (Paperback)
This is everything that a political and historical biography should be.
Malcolm is portrayed 'warts and all', Marable paints a picture of a fully rounded human being. This is no hagiography. More than this though, Marable puts Malcolm into context and shows him as a man who was made by his times and influences and, in turn, changed his times in both profound and subtle ways.
This is a great book.

Kinect Sports UK launch day cake (probably unwise) just as we venture online to play against the public...
This is how Rare staff mark the launch of Kinect Sports: with tomfoolery and champagne.
What remained of the top-quality #KinectSportsDay cake (with leftover Mars bar cakes) before the cleaners removed it a few days later. Mmm... crusty.
Cheers to @NWR_Karlie for hand-delivering these at #KinectSportsDay, which I'm now getting flak for taking home and not sharing.
@rainboweagle No thank you, you gave us the picture of the day
And we're done. Cheers to our tournament winners, to everyone who visited us today and to Rapid Robot for his cake-delivering guest appearance.
It's all go at our #KinectSportsDay event. Check out some of this morning's shenanigans...
#KinectSportsDay tomorrow, crazy organisational day today. Just working through the checklist. Stuff to give out: check.
Rare graffiti spotted while walking the dog. Expected better from the nobility, to be honest. Can only assume 'Duffos' and 'Nostrels' are lost Elemental Warriors.
Despite how annoying they are, we've been trying to humanely coax these flies out of the office window. Didn't go so well for the last one though.
Today's workplace cake has been provided by Mike, endorsed by Rare and only grudgingly eaten by Ben because he's a mental.
More wild Piñata sightings as Fudgehog and Goobaa flee Drayton Manor's livelier attractions...
Right then. Celebratory contest kickoff! 10,000 followers, 10 money-can't-buy (some of them) prizes: check out the swag.
Would you settle for a saucy close-up pic? RT @Monodi The Rareware logo pin is absolutely beautiful. I demand it.
Random Rare Sightings #23: Some old merch I dug up at home last night. DK64 pocket watch, nice. Cheap mass-produced JFG bug in slime, nicer.
Random Oxford Street shot from Rare web/community jaunt down to London. At least it actually shows some of London, unlike the other pictures of pants and a burger.
We think @OXM's Kinect feature looks much better without the terrible photos of Ben jumping about. Read it all in the August Issue.

Tyler Bryant and his incredible band The Shakedown have been busy spreading their brand of updated, blues-heavy rock and roll in the couple of years since they appeared as the OurStage spotlight band on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! Now they're back with a new release that marks a kind of shift in creative direction. Produced by Vance Powell (Jack White, Seasick Steve), the six-song EP The Wayside finds the band expanding further out from traditional blues rock (though fans of Bryant's and 2nd guitarist Graham Whitford's dazzling guitar work should not be disappointed here) into what sounds a lot more like the kind of stoner rock purveyed by Queens Of The Stone Age, et al., while remaining rooted to the '70s southern rock giants that are clearly close to their hearts. Atmospherics and texture are a primary focus here, and the band is clearly thoughtful about their approach to each song. Every track here has a different vibe, from instrumentation to production style to Bryant's vocal technique. The singer has found the sweet spot that does not require him to reach for barrel-chested soul belting – he just doesn't have that kind of voice. Instead, the songs here allow him to explore more subtle turns of phrase and melodic intricacies that will keep your ears glued to this release. When the band delivers their take on the classic "Mojo Workin," this is most apparent. On a song that could easily, and surely pleasantly enough, be a vehicle for some slick guitar work and big yelping (as it has for a generation of early rock artists), Bryant instead eases back into the music to create a solid and more subtle slab of fuzz rock. Can't wait to see these guys live again.
The Wayside is now streaming on Spotify: http://republicrec.co/TheWaysideEPSP
Broken Bells recently made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote their latest release, After The Disco. Breaking into their hit, "Holding On For Life," before continuing on to the title track, the duo looked perfectly at home as they put on a surprisingly relaxed performance amidst the blue and red laser show taking place behind them. Check out the videos below, and grab After the Disco when it drops this Tuesday. (more…)
It's not every day a band's album is nominated for a Grammy Award. But when it is, you can expect to see that artist…a lot. Since the success of last year's Modern Vampires of the City, Vampire Weekend have been making the rounds in tours and TV circuits, promoting the album that has since earned them the nomination. Last night, they took to Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform two of their hits, "Unbelievers" and "Hannah Hunt," before getting back on the road again this spring. Check out the performances below.
In 2013, Xolie Morra & the Strange Kind were selected from thousands of OurStage artists to appear as the musical guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! They taped the show later in the year and then, this Tuesday night, it all came together, as the band performed their song "Over My Head" on national television. The show will air again this Friday night. Here's the band's performance.
Go behind the scenes with the band as they travel to Hollywood, rehearse, visit the Gibson guitars showroom, and hang out backstage at Jimmy Kimmel Live! Watch below.
We are thrilled to say that Xolie Morra & the Strange Kind will appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live! tomorrow night, Tuesday, January 7th. The band won this opportunity in our JKL competition last year. They taped their performance in 2013, and it is finally set to air.
We'll have the performance and some behind-the-scenes footage for you soon. In the meantime, check out this video of Xolie and co. learning of their win.

Eclectic Approach Behind The Scenes at Jimmy Kimmel Live! (Video)
It's no secret that we here at OurStage are longtime fans of Xolie Morra and her band The Strange Kind. We've been following her career and her growth as an artist ever since she used OurStage to win the opportunity to play Lilith back in 2010. In the years in between, she's been all over OurStage, winning many channel and finals competitions, and consistently bringing engaging and boundary-pushing new material to the table.
That's why we were so excited when the good folks at Jimmy Kimmel Live! came to us with Xolie and the band as their pick as the winner of "The OurStage Panel: Jimmy Kimmel Live!" competition. As winners, they will appear as the musical guest on an upcoming episode of the hugely popular late night talk show. This hardworking band truly deserves this opportunity and we have no doubt they will shine. Here's what happened when they got the news – be sure to stay tuned til the end for Grandma Johnson, the world's oldest Jimmy fan:
We will announce the air date for Xolie Morra and the Strange Kind's appearance as soon as we have it!

Pop songstress Demi Lovato took her new single to the stage of Jimmy Kimmel Live last night and proved to everyone she has Top 40 staying power.
Comparing love to a "Heart Attack," the latest from Demi Lovato is pure confectionary pop music with just a dash of alternative rock sprinkled on top for edge. People who dislike the music on the radio probably won't find much to love here, but anyone that can appreciate a great hook from a strong vocalist will definitely find themselves nodding along throughout this performance. You can view the clip below.
So why feature a megastar like Demi Lovato on a blog dedicated to helping artists on the rise? It's simple, we love Jimmy Kimmel Live. In fact, we're currently planning the next round of our JKL competition, which will put one lucky OS member on the late night stage before millions of viewers. Stay tuned for details in the coming weeks! (more…)
Kendrick Lamar has been on an unstoppable rise since early 2012, and last night he took his continually moving promotional train to the stage of Jimmy Kimmel Live for a performance of his new single, "Poetic Justice."
Appearing sans Drake, who is responsible 1/3 of the verses on the track, Lamar appeared on Kimmel's recently redesigned outdoor stage accompanied by a full band (including a kickass saxophonist). It's always a little hard to gauge the strength of a live performance while sipping coffee at your desk the morning after it happens, but the reaction from the crowd makes it clear no one left disappointed. You can view the performance below.
Rumor has it Lamar's 2012 effort, good kid, mAAd city, is nearing platinum certification. If you enjoy "Poetic Justice," click here and give the full album a chance. (more…)
Atlanta king T.I. took his energetic live performance to the set of Jimmy Kimmel Live last night and this morning OurStage has footage for those of you too busy (or tired) to catch the show.
Hitting Jimmy's new Sony-sponsored stage last night, T.I. performed his Trouble Man single "Hello," as well as the energetic cut "Ball." Both performances were as energetic and exciting as televised sets from people not playing instruments can be, and T.I. never missed a line. You can view videos of both songs below. (more…)
In the past six months, OurStage, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and the OurStage community of fans have given three talented, unsigned artists the incredible, career-changing chance to show what they've got by featuring them as the musical guest on Kimmel's hit late-night show. Now go backstage with the artists in these exclusive clips, as they tell their stories and prepare for their moment in the national television spotlight.

Dark Souls patched to 1.05
A new patch for From Software's hardcore initiation Dark Souls tweaks the effects of humanity, lessens the horror of a couple of nasty spells, and nerfs a few of your cheap tactics.
Eurogamer reports the patch is available on both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in the US, and at least on the Xbox 360 in the UK. Other territories are expected to receive the patch shortly.
A Pastebin user has translated From Software's patch notes from Japanese along with a number of observations from Japanese gamers.
Of greatest note, resonance signs are now visible – meaning one aspect of the game's multiplayer largely invisible since launch is up and running.

Drivers heading in and out of work on Monday should be aware this is Bike to Work Day all across the Greater Toronto Area.With hot, sunny weather in the forecast, many people might be tempted to jump on their two-wheeler to get to the office.That'll mean paying closer attention to the space you leave bicycles to move up the right side of the curb lane -- and the ones who ignore all the rules of the road; swerving in and out, blowing through reds and stop-signs.Incidentally, Bike to Work Day is also the launch of Bike to Work month in the GTA.

This book, written by a physical therapist for physical therapists in Great Britain, has had seven editions since 1932. Its well merited success is due to a broad and conservative presentation of the subject matter, which has grown to impressive proportions in successive editions. Each of the twenty-three chapters includes an adequate discussion of pathology, symptomatology and general medical treatment, followed by a full presentation of all forms of physical treatment. This is quite different from the run-of-the mill books on massage. Almost two hundred illustrations and a full index add to the usefulness of the volume, which has been serving as chief guide for the examinations of the Chartered Society of Masseurs and Medical Gymnasts. Physical therapists trained on the level of this book should become invaluable technical assistants indeed to the medical profession.

This week we have Pi Day and St. Patrick's Day! I'm trying the whole cook-festively thing, even though I work odd hours this week and I once again was probably a tad ambitious with my recipes. I almost wrote 'overly' ambitious, but I think I can handle it. I think you can handle it, too.
vegan shepherd's 'pi' for pi day! With some chicken on the side for Liam.
prep ahead: I think I'm going to try to make this whole thing ahead of time, possibly even on Sunday; if my schedule weren't so weird, I would probably try to assemble the casserole and simply bake it before serving.
greeny chickpea salad, though probably with whatever veggies look good when I go shopping. I might add some kind of burger or seared salmon for Liam.
prep ahead: I'm going to roast the chickpeas and make the dressing a day or two before so that all I really need to do is assemble everything when I get home that night, and possibly cook up some chicken/turkey/salmon/etc. for Liam.
green edamame burgers on Irish soda bread buns! I haven't made this recipe since I posted that recipe back in 2011 (what?!) so I think it's time to dust it off and see if it's still blog-worthy. I'll probably throw an easy salad together on the side, though sometimes when I'm feeling particularly lazy, I go for some chopped, raw carrots. If you're feeling more adventurous, try this homemade sauerkraut!
wednesday. friday. saturday. sunday.
leftovers, take-out/restaurants, or Liam will be cooking – but if you need some more ideas, check these out:
vegetarian pot pies with feta-scallion biscuits, which I've made and loved but find the recipe to make more biscuits than filling.
early spring asparagus spaghetti squash casserole with roasted carrot + avocado salad
crispy baked tofu fingers with homemade ketchup, cauliflower tater tots, and steamed or roasted green beans.
vegan blt with optional fried egg and recommended side of kale chips

The Supreme Court by a 4-4 tie let stand lower courts' decisions saying President Obama lacked the authority to grant legal status to the parents of so-called "Dreamers," who were brought to the United States as children.
Obama's order could have given status to as many as five million people who came here illegally. Turns out Obama was also acting illegally. It was an obvious attempt to create legislation by fiat, though remarkably, four members of the Supreme Court don't seem to get it.
From the Associated Press:
A tie vote by the Supreme Court is blocking President Barack Obama's immigration plan that sought to shield millions living in the U.S. illegally from deportation.
The justices' one-sentence opinion on Thursday effectively kills the plan for the duration of Obama's presidency.
A tie vote sets no national precedent but leaves in place the ruling by the lower court. In this case, the federal appeals court in New Orleans said the Obama administration lacked the authority to shield up to 4 million immigrants from deportation and make them eligible for work permits without approval from Congress.
Texas led 26 Republican-dominated states in challenging the program Obama announced in November 2014. Congressional Republicans also backed the states' lawsuit.
"Today, Article I of the Constitution was vindicated," House Speaker Paul Ryan said in a statement. "The Supreme Court's ruling makes the president's executive action on immigration null and void. The Constitution is clear: The president is not permitted to write laws—only Congress is. This is another major victory in our fight to restore the separation of powers."
But Hillary wasn't happy.
"Today's deadlocked decision from the Supreme Court is unacceptable, and show us all just how high the stakes are in this election," she said. "Today's decision by the Supreme Court is purely procedural and casts no doubt on the fact that DAPA and DACA are entirely within the President's legal authority."
Well, President Obama can still try to enact amnesty's unilaterally, but at least the new Speaker won't be assisting him.
House Speaker Ryan said Sunday that he would not push immigration reform while President Obama is still in office, reassuring conservatives concerned with the willingness of both Ryan and Obama to enact amnesty.
"It would be a ridiculous notion to try and work on an issue like this with a president we simply cannot trust on this issue," Ryan said. "He tried to go it alone, circumventing the legislative process with his executive orders, so that is not in the cards."
Ryan confirmed news made on "The Laura Ingraham Show" Friday, when House Freedom Caucus leader Rep. Jim Jordan said Ryan had promised conservatives not to take up immigration until Obama is gone.
Ryan Sunday performed what is known as "the full Ginsburg," reintroducing himself to the nation as Speaker by appearing on all five major Sunday news shows.
He used the platform to further placate conservatives by asserting, "I was not elected dictator of the House," assuring that he would not impose his will as the GOP leadership has in the past.
And, in what seemed an effort to rebut charges that he will be a part-time Speaker, he suggested that instead of working 24-7 he would at least be working 24-5, saying he wakes up very early and toils until 11:30 pm, even if he will spend weekend back in Wisconsin.
Pope Francis injected the papacy directly into U.S. politics on Thursday, cautioning Americans against being "fearful" of foreigners and implicitly questioning the values of those who want to limit immigration.
Since Donald Trump entered the Republican presidential race in June vowing to build a wall between the United States and Mexico, the immigration issue has roiled the campaign. It has divided the GOP between those who would accommodate the influx and others, like Trump, who support stopping it in its tracks and sending illegal immigrants home. And it has provided Democrats with a cudgel with which to whack Republicans as intolerant and even racist.
Francis, who appeared before a joint meeting of Congress, cast immigration and many of the other issues on which he sided with moderates and the Left in moral terms, giving conservative opponents — whether Democrats or some Republicans running for president — a heightened platform from which to condemn the policies of the right.
"Grateful for the inspiring words of @pontifex," tweeted GOP candidate former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. "People of good will must work together to advance the common good."
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called the pontiff's remarks "extraordinary," saying Thursday was a "Day of profound joy."
Socialist Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont tweeted out his joy: "He forces us to address some of the major issues facing humanity such as war, income and wealth inequality, poverty, unemployment and greed."
Francis held nothing back on immigration, associating those who hope to limit immigration with the ignoble actions of earlier generations who have inflicted violence and other "sins" against the newly arrived.
"Tragically, the rights of those who were here long before us were not always respected," he said. "Those first contacts were often turbulent and violent, but it is difficult to judge the past by the criteria of the present. Nonetheless, when the stranger in our midst appeals to us, we must not repeat the sins and the errors of the past. We must resolve now to live as nobly and as justly as possible, as we educate new generations not to turn their back on our neighbors and everything around us."
The opposition to massive immigration, he suggested was based on "fear," and we need not concern ourselves with the hordes that are entering.
"We, the people of this continent, are not fearful of foreigners, because most of us were once foreigners," he said. "We must not be taken aback by their numbers, but rather view them as persons, seeing their faces and listening to their stories, trying to respond as best we can to their situation."
As expected, the pope warmed Democrats' hearts by pressing U.S. action on global warming, adding a moral imperative to the plea by linking it to care for the poor.
"In Laudato Si', I call for a courageous and responsible effort to redirect our steps and to avert the most serious effects of the environmental deterioration caused by human activity," Francis said. "Now is the time for courageous actions and strategies, aimed at implementing a culture of care and an integrated approach to combating poverty, restoring dignity to the excluded, and at the same time protecting nature."
The pope mostly kept away from the hot-button issue of abortion. Conservatives on Capitol Hill are on the cusp of initiating a government shutdown over government funding for Planned Parenthood.
Francis used the sanctity of life argument instead to make a much more explicit case rapping the United States for allowing the death penalty, which he, like many Democrats, wants abolished.
"The Golden Rule also reminds us of our responsibility to protect and defend human life at every stage of its development," the pope said in a partial allusion to abortion. But he then made the reference apply explicitly to abolishing death penalty.
"This conviction has led me, from the beginning of my ministry, to advocate at different levels for the global abolition of the death penalty," he said. "I am convinced that this way is the best, since every life is sacred, every human person is endowed with an inalienable dignity, and society can only benefit from the rehabilitation of those convicted of crimes."
GOP presidential hopeful Texas Sen. Ted Cruz rebutted the pontiff.
"I believe the death penalty is a recognition of the preciousness of human life, that for the most egregious crimes, the ultimate punishment should apply," he said.
While the pope's remarks generally tilted left — sometimes emphatically so — when he turned toward his concern for the traditional family, it was Democrats, and not Republicans, who could be seen sitting on their hands.
"How essential the family has been to the building of this country!" he said. "And how worthy it remains of our support and encouragement! Yet I cannot hide my concern for the family, which is threatened, perhaps as never before, from within and without."
And he put in a word for business, even while warning that politics must not be a "slave" to finance.
"Business is a noble vocation, directed to producing wealth and improving the world," he said. "It can be a fruitful source of prosperity for the area in which it operates, especially if it sees the creation of jobs as an essential part of its service to the common good."
A version of this story first appeared in PoliZette, which I also edit.
Jeb Bush arrived on Monday at the Mexican border hoping to reclaim the immigration issue — and the campaign narrative — after two months of domination by fellow GOP presidential contender Donald Trump.
The former Florida governor reminded people of his "comprehensive" immigration strategy and showed off his fluency in Spanish. But even as he sought to shine the spotlight on himself, it was obvious that Trump had followed him to McAllen, Texas.
Bush was dogged by continued questions over his use of the term "anchor babies," which some consider pejorative but which has been employed unabashedly by Trump. And Bush dropped race into the mix by noting that "Asian people" were more often guilty of the practice.
Bush grew impatient when asked about his use of "anchor babies."
"My background, my life, the fact that I'm immersed in the immigrant experience — this is ludicrous for the Clinton campaign and others to suggest that somehow I'm using a derogatory term," the former Florida governor said. His wife, Columba, was born in León, Guanajuato, Mexico.
Bush said he used the phrase to refer not to immigrants, but to specific instances "of fraud" in the form of "organized efforts" to take advantage of birthright citizenship.
"Frankly, it's more related to Asian people," he said.
Bush then added what appeared to be a prepared remark, an apparent effort to associate himself with Trump's rebellion against political correctness. "And by the way, I think we need to take a step back and chill out a little bit as it relates to the political correctness — that somehow you have to be scolded every time you say something," he said.
Even as he derided political correctness, Bush took a page out of the PC playbook, making most of his remarks in Spanish.
Bush continued his recently launched line of attack against Trump, asserting that the businessman's immigration strategy was neither practical nor conservative.
"Mr. Trump's plans are not grounded in conservative principles," Bush said. "His proposal is unrealistic. It would cost hundreds of billions of dollars. It will violate people's civil liberties."
Trump responded on Monday by assailing Bush for his 2014 comment that illegal immigration was an "act of love," a stand from which Bush has declined to back away.
"Well, I think it's great that he's going to the border, because I think he'll now find out that it is not an act of love," the real estate mogul said during an appearance on Fox News. "I was down on the border. It's rough, tough stuff. This is not love, this is other things going on. And I think he'll probably be able to figure that out, maybe."
A version of this piece first appeared in LifeZette Tuesday morning.
A panel of a federal appeals court Tuesday declined to reverse a district court judge's ruling that blocked President Obama's plan to grant temporary amnesty for some 5 million illegal immigrants, saying that overriding the ruling could force states to take irreversible actions that would become illegal if the challenge to Obama's action prevails.
According to the 2-1 ruling:
A stay would enable DAPA beneficiaries to apply for driver's licenses and other benefits, and it would be difficult for the states to retract those benefits or recoup their costs even if they won on the merits. That is particularly true in light of the district court's findings regarding the large number of potential beneficiaries, including at least 500,000 in Texas alone.
Obama's amnesty is seen by opponents as a rank end-around of Congress, granting legal status and benefits to millions of illegal immigrants by simply making them a low priority for prosecution. How a decision to defer prosecuting an illegal immigrant gives them legal rights is something I have never understood.
Now, it appears, the courts may be having trouble with it too.
The administration will no doubt appeal, but it's unclear whether it will go directly to the Supreme Court.
Obama's two most significant policies – this and Obamacare – hang by legal threads. It's indicative of the divisive, imperious nature of this presidency that Obama governs by such questionably legal means.
What? The Obama administration lie? I'm sorry – misstate the truth?
Judge Andrew Hanen, who blocked President Obama executive amnesty order, waited until mid-February to do so because he was assured by Justice Department attorneys that they wouldn't be doing any amnesties until then.
According to National Review:
Early this month the government's attorneys admitted that they misled Judge Hanen. Between November 20, when President Obama issued his fiat, and February 16, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) granted approximately 100,000 applications for deferred action under the expansion of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program created in DAPA.
Did the government's lawyers lie? Or did they make a months-long mistake? That was the question posed to the DOJ's legal team by a visibly angry Judge Hanen in a hearing in Brownsville, Texas, last Thursday.
Deputy Assistant Attorney General Kathleen Hartnett could not explain why multiple DOJ lawyers — herself included — told the court multiple times over two and a half months that DHS would not be accepting requests for deferred action under the challenged order until mid February . . .
It seems clear what Hanen thinks happened: "When I asked you what would happen and you said nothing, I took it to heart. I was made to look like an idiot," Hanen told Hartnett. "I believed your word that nothing would happen. . . . Like an idiot, I believed that."
Let me help poor judge Hanen out. From the works of Saul Alinsky:
The man of action views the issue of means and ends in pragmatic and strategic terms. He has no other problem; he thinks only of his actual resources and the possibilities of various choices of action. He asks of ends only whether they are achievable and worth the cost; of means, only whether they will work. To say that corrupt means corrupt the ends is to believe in the immaculate conception of ends and principles.
Yes, judge, you were made into an idiot. A useful idiot.
For today, at least, we return to being a nation of laws. A federal judge in Texas Monday issued an injunction that would temporarily block President Obama's unilateral immigration amnesty. U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen in Brownsville indicated that Obama had acted unconstitutionally by circumventing Congress, saying that no law permits illegal immigrants to stay. Actually,… Continue Reading
In the first court opinion on the issue, a federal judge in Pennsylvania ruled that President Obama's immigration actions are an unconstitutional abuse of presidential power. U.S. District Court Judge Arthur Schwab, a George W. Bush appointee, wrote the opinion in relation to a criminal case he was reviewing. It appears to me he was looking… Continue Reading
Radio talk show host Mark Levin went on an epic tear last night, searing a verbal gash into the deserving folks who lead the Republican Party. You can listen to Levin's criticism here. It comes at the beginning of the December 15th show. Levin says he is "an inch away" from leaving the Republicans. I don't think… Continue Reading
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, put Republican leaders on notice Friday that he intends to hold them to their word that they will seek to scuttle President Obama's executive amnesty next year, forcing the Senate into an unwelcome Saturday workday and a symbolic vote related to the amnesty. Senators thought they had a deal to finish… Continue Reading
By not making a stand against President Obama's amnesty fiat now, Republicans have made a critical tactical mistake that could ruin their chance to seriously oppose the greatest un-Constitutional presidential power grab in memory. Unless, of course, House Speaker Boehner and Senate Minority Leader McConnell are fully aware of the consequences of their decision and aren't making… Continue Reading

Arduino quadruped robot
Hi all,
I've been working on my first real robot last week-end and wanted to share it. It's a simple quadruped arduino robot controlled by serial (via USB). Videos can be viewed on my blog : http://blog.joomun.org/2012/09/09/arduino-quadruped-robot/
