Best Regards,
http://www.lilmissbianca.blogspot.com/ - As to the top 3 color choices for Fall 2014, I would prefer to make a few little steps in upgrading the color palette from Spring for women. For instance, turning pastel pink to vivacious pink, neon green to emerald, violet tulip to acai.
While color palette for women is designed by intensifying some selected hues, I prefer to stay in neutral color palette for men. My top 3 choices are pearl gray, royal blue, buckskin brown color.
I'm looking forward to this project. Best luck!
Best Regards,
Bianca Castro
www.creativestyles.org - Okay, so my top three color choices for women of Fall 2014 would be
1. Cypress, a neutral green
2. Royal Blue, a dark color
3. Aluminum, light to dark neutral
1.Magenta Purple, dark color
2.Celosia Orange, pop of color
3.Sand, Neutral
These are the colors ranging from bold to neutral that I expect and would believe to be the alternative colors for Fall 2014
Matthew Mayfield
http://www.saharknowsbest.com/ - I would love to contribute and give you my answer:
For women my top 3 colors for Fall 2015 are camel, purple and light blue. For man my top picks are mustard, forest green and white.
Thank you,
http://tobebright.com/ - Thank you for reaching out. In terms of top 3 alternative colors for Fall 2014, here's what I suggest:
For women: Mustard, Burnt Orange and Plum
For men: Hunter Green, Navy and Charcoal
Of course, I think all six colors are interchangeable for both genders.
All the best,
http://www.le-happy.com/ - Thanks for your email! I might be loving burgundy, olive green and gold accents for fall.
Luanna Perez-Garreaud
http://www.alannamartine.com/ - Thanks so much for reaching out! Iron Fist Clothing is a radical brand and I love the alternative style. My top three alternative color choices for Fall 2014 would most certainly be pale blue, deep forest green, and a deep slate for men, and I'd love to see some burnt reds, pastel pinks, and antique whites for women.
Alanna Martine
http://www.streetfem.com/ - I love the clothes on Iron Fist Clothing, rad. My top three color choices for fall 2014 for men would be black, maroon, and navy.
My top three color choices for 2014 for women would be red, grey, and black.
Waters Riley
http://www.thelovelylook.com - I would have to say that my top 3 alternative color choices for women would have to be: dark orange, black, army green! I have been seeing a lot of fall pieces with orange and yellow pieces but the color is toned down a bit. I love this (being a big fan of color) because it is a great way to implement color into the darker days of Fall! As for men: dark gray, navy blue, and forest green! These colors create a great color palette for the men who seek to look great for Fall!
Karina Casillas
http://livinlikelarz.com/ - This fall I am all about the mauves, deep purples, & dash of goldy yellows. They are the perfect transition from the crazy bright hues of summer to the toned down colors of fall.
Fashion & Lifestyle Blogger
www.malintoashes.com -I would have to say that my top three colour choices for fall would be black, burgundy and plum, for both men and women. Or just a completely monochromatic look.
Malin Z
http://www.liketheyogurt.com/- My top 3 alternative colors for Fall would have to be white, royal blue and dusty pink/nude :)
Thanks Alan!
Like The Yogurt
http://www.dresslikejess.us/ - My top 3 color choices for Fall 2014, which aren't really colorful at all, would have to be black, white, and gray. Those are probably my go-to colors all year round, but especially in the colder seasons. I just think you can never go wrong with these colors, whether you wear them apart or together. They work for both men and women and, if done correctly, can be flattering on everyone!
Hope this helps!
- Jess
http://closetvisionnaire.blogspot.com/ Being a fashion blogger and someone who is obsessed with fall, I've looked heavily into what the hottest upcoming trends are. I've even already decided what my go-to colors will be. I'm really looking forward to the blacks, burgundies and sangria shades this Fall fashion season has to offer.
I think those colors are perfect because all three look good on a high variation of different skin tones. As most of us know, black works with almost everything while the burgundy and sangria colors give off that warm and cozy vibe. This will be perfect for the temperature transition from hot to brisk. The three would look amazing combined together in an outfit as well.
If you're looking for something in particular from Ironfistclothing.com I would suggest making the Misfit Denim Vest in Black a staple piece in your closet this fall.
Best Wishes
Olivia Dunn
http://shellystuckman.com/ My top 3 alternative color choices for Fall 2014 are burgundy, white, and black for women. For men, my top 3 color choices are navy, burgundy, and black.
Thanks again. Please let me know if this is sufficient or if you would like me to elaborate. For me, black and white are always staples.
http://www.stylebizarre.com/ My top choice for Winter will always be black as the first choice, both for women and men. As far as other colours are concerned, I think that prints and patterns will be huge this season. They already have in the past couple of years, but we will see much less solid colours in the next months. For men I think that minimal will still be all the rage, so black, grey and white. Women will go for black and warm colours. Not pastels, but not bright or neon colours. Warm yellow, burgundy, warm grey and patterns patterns patterns!
http://downtostars.blogspot.com/ Thanks so much for reaching out! The site looks really cool :) Here's my top 3 alternative color choices for both men and women.
3. Ochre - it's a deep, rich natural pigment golden shade. For Fall, I love earthy jewel tones (among many other colors) but instead of the average oxblood, forest greens and black you can stand out with this fun color.
2. Opalescent- this is a MUST for us vaporwave/seapunk folks who want that otherworldly look to our outfits. Opalescent fabrics are everywhere and it's really the fun color bending sheen that drew my eye to this shade a while ago.
1. Colored Metallics - Much like opalescence I can't seem to get enough of shiny fabrics. Metallics have been big in the fashion world. We're seeing it more and more in different patterns, designs and products. I'm excited to see some bright vivid colored metallics on shirts, shorts and shoes. Here's hoping rainbow metallics start getting more attention.
mesmemosphotoblog.com For women, I think my top 3 alternative color choices for Fall '14 would definitely be black, brown and navy blue. For men, I think I'd pick grey, black and dark brown.
Nora Aradi
http://www.vonvogue.com/ The top 3 alternative color choice for Fall 2014 is Samba (red), Navy Blue and Caramel (brown) for women Dark Gray , Navy Blue and Carlet (dark red) for men.
Claire Liu
http://www.ftbh.blogspot.com/ From my perspective, the most alternative color choices for 2014 are ones that aren't usually associated with "alternative" aesthetics. Colors like fluorescent pink and highlighter green (this pair of sneakers is perfect: http://ironfistclothing.com/aloha-bitches-sneaker-pink.html), muted pastels like peach and lavender, and completely neutral shades like beige and charcoal inspire me in particular. I think most people associate alternative fashion with dark reds, rich blues, black, and yellow leopard. But paving the way for the future means countering those expectations and juxtaposing a hardcore lifestyle brand with nursery hues for ultimate shock appeal and contrast. And I'd kill to see a punk in head to toe beige instead the usual black and tattoo print!
Bebe Zeva
http://lazyobsession.blogspot.com/ For Women: For Fall 2014, we saw designers breaking away from traditional autumn colours. I would definitely opt for exotic reds, deep burgundy and bright blues. Play around with them! For Men: Non-traditional colours also goes for the men. I find the season reminiscent of adventuring so think steely greys, royal blues and don't forget the deep wines.
Kind Regards,
http://www.aisaipac.com/ My favorites are tangerine, grey, bright cobalt :)
Aisa Ipac
http://canyoupasstheglitter.blogspot.com/ My top 3 alternative color choices for Fall for women would be burgundy, dark purple, and orange (more of a toned down warm orange). Top 3 colors for men would be dark blue, white, and grey.
Amelia Jin
http://www.bangbangblond.com/ Here is my color's choice for Fall 2014. Women : Yellow (Mustard), Purple, Dark Blue Men : Khaki, Dark Blue, Camel
Best regards,
http://www.themoptop.com/ I'm loving navy, burgundy, and brown for fall!
Tonya Smith
http://www.sanctuaryoffreedom.blogspot.com/ My 3 alternative color choices for Fall 2014 for women would be Radiant orchid, a rich royal blue and a new take on the classic burgundy.
For men, I would love to see mixes of camel, olive green and cobalt.
Thank you so much!

Your Pop Alternative Source
The first song I heard from Laura Marling was ''My Manic and I'' I really did enjoy the song but the music at the time I was listening to was so different I just never really took any interest after that one encounter.
Recently I have re-discovered her and I am very, very impressed! She's a beautiful singer with a such a delicate voice and what I like most is how diverse her songs are. You have ''Blackberry Stone'' from I Speak Because I Can which has a very, I suppose,…

Members of artinsight-sarasota discuss fifth show, 'Y Not Women'
Date: September 28, 2011
by: Heidi Kurpiela | A&E Editor
There's a lot going on in Janet Mishner's Lakewood Ranch home.
There are women mingling, a little white dog yipping, a plate of raisin cookies circulating and an assortment of painted canvases accumulating.
It's the kind of friendly commotion and camaraderie you don't get often when you step into an artist's world.
The vibe is neither solitary nor tortured. There's coffee brewing, and photos of Mishner's new grandson line the kitchen counter.
It's exactly what Mishner, Bettina Sego, Gail Rubinfeld and Susan von Gries had in mind when they formed their contemporary artist group, artinsight-sarasota, one year ago.
"In all my years of painting, I never had girlfriends who were artists," von Gries says. "I can't tell you how nice it is to be surrounded by women who share my passion."
The other women nod their heads in unison.
"Creating art can be a very lonely experience," Rubinfeld says. "When you get together as a group, it becomes more — "
"Of an exchange," Sego interrupts.
"Because when you're alone, you're alone," Rubinfeld says, finishing the sentiment.
The artists met several years ago in artist Joseph Melancon's class at Art Center Sarasota. Established painters, each with a rich resumé and decades of experience behind the easel, they were an obvious foursome.
"We came together out of common ground," Mishner says.
Soon the women were meeting for lunch, meeting to paint and then meeting to discuss the obvious: forming a group.
"As an individual, when you approach a gallery and ask, 'May I have a show here?' 2,000 other artists have as well," Sego says. "From a marketing perspective, you're in a better position if you're in a group."
They founded artinsight last fall to coincide with Festival sARTée, the two-week arts event that runs concurrently with the Ringling International Arts Festival.
In just one year they've held four exhibitions, proving that in a struggling economy there's strength in numbers.
"So many galleries have closed in the last couple of years," Rubinfeld says. "I think art groups are the wave of the future."
The group's fifth show, "Y Not Women?" which will run Oct. 7 through Oct. 26, at The Studio at Gulf and Pine on Anna Maria Island, is its biggest exhibition.
An homage to American female artists, the show will include a lecture by Ringling College of Art and Design instructor Kevin Costello and music by an Irish harpist.
To prepare for the event, the women brushed up on the biographies of dozens of 20th-century female artists, including Lee Krasner, an abstract expressionist whose marriage to Jackson Pollock often overshadowed her career.
"Women have been painting all along," Sego says. "But they don't have their place in history as they should. Ask people to name a female artist, and you'll get 'Georgia O'Keeffe' and that's about it."
Despite the focus of this upcoming exhibition and the obvious fact that the group lacks a male presence, the women of artinsight do not consider themselves feminists.
Rather than labeling the group as "women artists," Rubinfeld says she'd rather artinsight be referred to as "artists who happen to be women."
"In the New York art world, if you're a woman artist over the age of 50, forget it," Rubinfeld says. "It's the kiss of death."
But this is the Sarasota art world, and middle-aged female artists are in good company, which is why "Y Not Women?" poses much more than a rhetorical question.
Given the area's demographics, artinsight is almost a better fit for Sarasota than the other (younger) contemporary arts groups making headlines — for instance,
s/ART/q, which was founded in late 2008 by a cast of 30- and 40-something artists.
This is not to say that artinsight lacks edge. The women's paintings, as well as their bios, are colorful and diverse.
Rubinfeld, a Connecticut native who owns the Turtle Beach Resort and Inn on Siesta Key, didn't start painting until the late 1990s, when she was bequeathed a box of art supplies from her twin sister, an artist who died of cancer 13 years ago.
The German-born Sego worked in marketing for luxury fragrance lines before moving in 2000 to Florida, where she carved out a reputation for painting abstract landscapes using textured acrylics, mixed media and collage.
Mishner, a former elementary school art teacher from Baltimore, was so drawn to abstract figures inspired by psychological metaphors and storytelling that she began bringing her work to psychoanalysis sessions.
And, then, there's von Gries, who spent 20 years living as an expatriate in El Salvador, Brazil, Venezuela, Belgium, and the Netherlands, where she worked in sculpture before settling down seven years ago in Sarasota.
All of the women have studied art, held solo exhibitions and sold work to private collectors and businesses.
"We each make our own marks," von Gries says of their four distinct styles.
Von Gries' marks are bold and spontaneous, the product of whatever music she happens to be listening to at the time. Mishner's marks are more purposeful, although lately she says she's begun to embrace an impulsive style.
Rubinfeld loves to render figures and faces, often in multiples, a touching nod to her twin sister. And Sego's canvases are heavy with metallic layers, semi-abstract icons and symbols that conjure up nature in an elemental and prehistoric way.
"What we all had in common was that external observation was a moot point," Mishner says. "Our work is the product of interpretation."
She looks to the other women for approval. They concur.
"And, of course," she adds, "almost everything we do is personal."
"Y Not Women" runs Oct. 7 through Oct. 26, at the Studio at Gulf and Pine, 10101 Gulf Drive, Anna Maria Island. artinsight-sarasota will host an opening reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Oct. 15 during the Ringling International Arts Festival's Festival sARTée. For more information, visit artinsight-sarasota.com.

Burglars break into Manhattan mausoleum
Published on -4/9/2013, 2:33 PM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) -- Manhattan police are trying to determine why someone broke into the mausoleum of a prominent Manhattan family.
The burglars caused about $10,000 damage during the weekend break-in at the Wareham family mausoleum at Sunset Cemetery but they apparently did not steal anything.
The burglars pried off the marble facing William Wareham's crypt and damaged the copper casing around his casket. Police spokesman Matt Droge says it appeared the burglars tried to open the copper casket but they were unsuccessful.
Burglars also broke into the mausoleum in April 2012 but didn't take anything.
The Manhattan Mercury reports (http://bit.ly/12EfJZw ) William Wareham was the brother of H.P. Wareham, generally regarded as the greatest entrepreneur in the city's history. H.P. is also buried in the mausoleum.

Recent Hiking/Backpacking Sock Reviews
FITS Sock Medium Hiker Crew
Try a pair of Fits socks and never look back. Andrew F has a great review of these socks. The owner of the outdoor sports store I frequent says, "Paula, I've got the sock for you." They are the sock for any hiker in my opinion. They are a bit pricey to buy but worth the cost. I've since been back to buy another pair. The design of the sock is the key to the comfort. You look at them and think I'm not so sure about the deep hill pocket on the sock. But it works, keeps the sock in place. They don't… Full review
Darn Tough Merino Boot Sock Full Cushion
I've worked through many socks in my time, but nothing compares to Darn Tough. These socks do everything you would want from one of your most abused pieces of equipment. Incredibly durable, comfortable, don't fall down, resist odor, stay warm when wet, plus they're made in the USA! Darn Tough puts all other brands in the higher-end outdoor sock to shame. Full review

Socks that are comfortable, durable, and odor resistant. 'Guaranteed For Life' is quite a statement from a sock manufacturer. No strings. No conditions. For life. I have been wearing brand name socks for years, and this product is the only one in its category that has not become thinner, thread-bare, or developed holes. It should be noted that I never put my socks in the dryer, and either hand wash in the field (without soap), or use the gentle cycle in the washing machine, inside out as directed. Full review
DeFeet Blaze
Don't let the name put you off, these socks can be worn all year round, but especially stand out in the colder months. An all around great sock. I've used this sock in a variety of outdoor pursuits in a variety of weather conditions with a variety of shoes/boots and the one constant in each situation was the quality and high-performance of this sock. Overview and Conditions: I came across these socks late last year at my local bike shop. Why they were carrying a trail sock was a bit surprising… Full review
Darn Tough Merino Micro Crew Sock Cushion
The difference between fresh caught shrimp from the ocean and popcorn shrimp at a fast food joint. I recently got turned on to Darn Tough socks and I have zero hesitation in saying I will never buy another brand again. Putting these on for the first time was as if the master sock artist, Leonardo DaSockio, had painted them on my feet. Not only was there absolutely zero bunching on the trail, but my feet stayed dry (very unusual for me), they provided the perfect amount of cushion and I didn't need… Full review
Injinji Trail 2.0 Midweight Mini-Crew
These socks are great for hiking! I love these socks! They fit perfectly and really do help prevent blisters. I got some terrible blisters on my toes and the balls of my feet on a 20-mile backpacking trip early this summer and subsequently bought these socks. I did the same hike last weekend and I did not re-blister my feet even though I was carrying even more weight this time! The socks are comfortable, moisture-wicking, and stretchy. They have a tighter, stretchy area in the middle that really… Full review
SmartWool Men's Hiking Ultra Light Mini
After dismissing this sock as sub-par, I have a new found appreciation of them. They are not a great hiking sock, but they are pretty decent for running and cycling. I have own this sock for more than a year. On my first backpacking trip with it, I wrote it off as a bad purchase. The reason for this was the low cut did not work well with a light hiker (like my Merrell Moab Ventilator pictured here). Shortly into a hike, especially in wet conditions, the top of the sock is below the back of the shoe,… Full review
SmartWool Men's Hiking Ultra Light Mini
Not worth the money. I picked up two pairs of these for cheap, and if it didn't cost more than they are worth to send them back, I probably would. First, I'll have to admit I didn't plan on using them for hiking. I want taller socks for hiking anyways. These were just to be casual wool socks. I LOVE SmartWool PhD running and outdoor socks (light mini and light micro are amazing), but these are thick, hot, and not tightly woven like the PhD. Much much hotter, cause my feet to sweat, even in the cold,… Full review
Injinji Performance Crew Sock
Used as a liner sock with a pair of mid-weight merino wool hikers, I found the Injinji Performance Crew to be exactly what I need for blister free hiking/backpacking. While not the most durable socks, I am pleased enough with them to have purchased a second pair. Conditions of Testing: My Injinji Performance Crew Socks were used as liner socks with a pair of SmartWool PhD Run Medium Mini Socks on an 6-day, 85-mile hike along the River-to-River Trail in Shawnee National Forest in early April 2014.

Silly, kid-friendly ways to have fun with your family this April 1st.
Got (Blue) Milk?
Put a few drops of food coloring in a pitcher of milk (choose your kid's fave shade). Make sure she's watching when you nonchalantly fix her morning bowl of cereal!
Breakfast Bait and Switch
Swap out sugar for salt and watch Dad put it in his morning cup of coffee. (Have a second, non-salted cup ready to go though).
For more morning fun, take out cereal bags and put them in mismatching boxes. See how long it takes for everyone to find their favorite cereal.
Bedtime Switcheroo
Moms, wait until your kids are asleep, and then switch them in their beds. Or, quietly swap around their dresser drawers. Make sure you're there when they wake up in the morning to take in their surprised expressions.
Really, Really Cold Cereal
Put water in a cereal bowl, and freeze overnight. The next morning, offer to fix Dad or your kids a bowl of cereal. Pour the cereal on top of the ice, completely covering it, and watch them try to dig in.
Mouse Malfunction
This one's good for the kid who checks his e-mail first thing every morning: Put part of a post-it note over the tracking ball on a computer mouse—it won't work! (Make sure to write "April Fools!" on the note).
Backwards Dinner
Serve up a topsy-turvy dinner to throw your kids for a loop: bake meatloaf in a 12-cup muffin tin and frost with mashed potatoes for a "cupcakes" dinner—bonus if you add food coloring to the spuds. Then toast strips of pound cake for a dessert of "French fries." Don't forget red-tinted frosting for ketchup!
Or try our yummy tricky tacos recipe!
If the Shoe Fits
Bunch up TP and stuff it in the toe of the victim's shoes. They'll wonder why their shoes suddenly don't fit.
Drink Up Mix-Up
Add a squirt of lemon juice to a glass of water when your kid's not looking, then wait for his sour face. Or, color water to mimic fruit punch or juice, and switch out the real drink for the dyed H2O.
Disciplinary Action
For an older kid who can handle it: When your kid comes home from school, tell her a teacher or the principal called to discuss your kid's bad behavior. Let them know the gag's up when you see them start sweating.
Drip, Drip, Drip
Use a pin to make a few small holes in a plastic disposable cup, and make sure to put it back on the top of the stack. Watch as Dad gets a drink and it ends up all over his shirt.
P.S.: Make sure it's a drink that doesn't stain, or the joke's really on whoever has to do the laundry!
Picture This
Take a screenshot of the desktop of Dad's computer, and leave the image open. Sit back and let him freak out for a few minutes, believing the computer is frozen.
Hands On
Tell the kids you are banning all utensils—hide them the night before, too. Then watch as everyone has fun eating with their hands. Little kids especially will love a break from being told they must use their fork.
Chain Reaction
Sneak into Daddy's underwear drawer and safety pin all of his undies together side by side. When he pulls out one pair, they all come out!
Backwards Day
Your kids know: tags go in back—but not today! For April Fools', let them have a backwards day, with tops, pants and dresses all worn reverse-style.
DIY Daylight Saving Time
Set all the clocks in the house an hour or two early—then ease the blow of an early wake-up by taking the kiddos out for breakfast.

Piece: Hanging Screen
General Concept:
Water lily, National Flower of Bangladesh
Concept Explanation:
The water lily is an aquatic plant that roots in the deep soil of freshwater bodies covering the surface with its green leaves and blossoming a beautiful star-shaped flower that floats on among them. It is in this way that our analogy emerges. The water lily represents the hope of Bangladesh; a country that constantly fights for its development and that is invariably trying to spring up and surface every time a flood comes.
Applied Conceptualization:
In the product, the one different color piece is a representation of the water lily and the adjacent ones embody the green leaves floating around it. This is how, through my design, I look forward to expressing the concept of Hope to everyone and anyone who lays eyes on the modular folding screen.
Creativity: The creative touch in this design resides in its shape. Inspired in the petals of the Nenuphar flower, this modular product can be used in various and sophisticated ways achieving a greater interaction with the user allowing him freedom and encouraging him to create his own structures based on the needs each specific environment may require. The pieces don't only turn into a hanging screen but can also be linked to form a panel to help personalize walls in all kinds of rooms. It is a flexible and modern design that depends on the user's creativity to become a real piece of art.
Practicality: The creation of modules basically consists of two pieces of check pattern cloth sewn together and stuffed with compacted recycled plastic bags and some snap buttons equally sewn onto the corners of both sides of the piece. It is a very simple process of dressmaking that results in a clean, modern design.
Ecology: It is recommended to use compacted recycled plastic bags in the making of the stuffing material for the modules. By using this material we're helping the environment recycling and reusing materials creating a new and very attractive product.

January 21, 2014 | What would real "Immigration Reform" look like? | 32 comments |
It seems that even in Obama's hometown for community organizing, Americans are starting to be pointedly vocal on his betrayals concerning immigration and equal protection.
Below is a video and report of a few of these quite observant citizens asking – without any flowers – why our own poor and oppressed are not the center of Dear Leader's focus.
A note of suggestion to the Republicans who continually wring their hands on how to enlarge their tent: Try hard to understand that people will eventually "get it" if you make it clear that you stand for equal opportunity and protection under the law for all Americans. And that we as a nation should promise and work for equal opportunity, not an equal outcome.
And that enforcing immigration and employment laws is the base of the "protect American workers" plan.
Catering to the business lobby that is in bed with the ACLU and La Raza et al on immigration enforcement isn't fooling anyone. Well, except maybe some Georgia state legislators, but no one else…
Compare the cries of the Americans in Chicago to a song sung by a group of illegal aliens who regard themselves as victims of borders ("Illegal Aliens Chant in Spanish: 'Illegal are your laws and that's why I'm not leaving" )
"No me digas illegal"/Don't call me illegal ""Porque eso no lo soy"/Because I am not ""llegal son sus leyes"/Illegal are your laws ""Y por eso no me voy"/And that's why I'm not leaving…""
VIDEO: Another border crisis - What you may not know about "the children" and what to expect in Georgia
Readers who have heard about Obama's request for tax dollars to deal with the stampede of "the children" at the southern border on "the news" may want to see these two videos of what Obama's goal for life in the entire country looks like.
For my Republican friends, keep telling yourselves that if we just grant another amnesty and double legal immigration, the problem will go away - and that these people, once made "legal" will bloom into small government, low-tax, conservative GOP voters.
Bonus x 2: Congressman Dr. Tom price (GA 6) has released a public statement on Obama's request for mo'money to throw at the invasion he arranged.
And here is a copy of the letter Congressman Dr. Phil Gingrey (GA 11) sent to the director of the Atlanta-based Center for Disease Control.

Georgia Congressional District 11 Republican candidates respond to three questions on immigration
D.A. King
president of the Cobb-based Dustin Inman Society
The Dustin Inman Society GA11 GOP candidate issue questionnaire.
(Un-edited version)
Bob Barr
Barry Loudermilk
Sent to the candidates campaigns on June 17, 2014 at 12:39 PM
Response from Loudermilk campaign received on June 19, 2014 at 4:17 PM Response from Barr Campaign received on June 20, 2014 at 6:24 PM
1) Driven mostly by illegal employment, illegal immigration is costing Georgia taxpayers and the state budget about $2.4 billion dollars a year according to Gov. Deal in 2011. Georgia contains more illegal aliens than Arizona, according to DHS.
In 1996, congress created what is now known as the federal E-Verify employment verification system. Free to use, internet-based and mostly a voluntary program today, the system was originally proposed as a nationwide, mandatory-use program for all employers. Use of E-Verify uses Social Security numbers and other data already available to the federal government to offer employers guidance on the employment eligibility of already-hired new employees.
Rather like the concept that no one would break into Disney World if they know they can't ride the rides, most experts on both sides of the debate agree that mandating use of E-Verify would go a long way in reducing illegal immigration and protecting American jobs. E-Verify is already required for many federal contractors. Georgia has had E-Verify use law on the books since 2006.
*Q – Given that it is a federal offense to knowingly hire and employ illegal labor, as a member of congress, would you work to pass federal legislation that mandated use of E-Verify for all employers, nationwide? *Note: this is a "YES" or "NO" question.
Barry Loudermilk: "YES"
Bob Barr: "YES"
2) Traditional levels of immigration is around 250,00-300,00 annually. The U.S. currently takes in more than one million legal immigrants each year, more than any other nation in the world. The Pew Center, the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies and other authorities report that most immigrants tend to vote big-government Democrat. A coalition of activists on the left who are in search of new voters and business interests looking for higher profits dominate the immigration debate in Washington and are pushing hard for not only another legalization program, but a doubling or tripling of legal immigration and huge expansion of the various existing guest worker programs. The general proposal is to add about 33 million permanent job seekers through legalization and immigration increases over the next decade. Thirty three million is almost the equivalent of California. This does not count the proposed doubling of guest workers that some in Congress are calling for.
Using the logic of natural laws of supply and demand, many voters make the observation that, importing even more foreign labor, legal or not, would surely result in lower wages and more desperation from American workers in the search for jobs.
*Q - Are there any circumstances under which you would vote to increase legal immigration and guest worker levels as the people's Rep from the 11th District of Georgia? *Note: This is a "YES" or "NO" question.
Barry Loudermilk: "NO"
Bob Barr: "NO"
3) In the U.S., there are correctly severe penalties for parents leaving their children alone in a parked car. These penalties are enforced.
Estimates are that by the end of the fiscal year ending October 1, about 90,000 children between the ages of 17-4 will have been brought to and dropped off at the southern border of the USA. because People have been told by news outlets in Central America that congress will soon pass another amnesty or that President Obama will unilaterally grant them and the parents who bring them parents free passage into the country and supply them with benefits and schooling. These illegal aliens are searching for and confidently turning themselves in to American Border Patrol Agents. Many of the illegal crossers are pregnant. President Obama has awarded taxpayer funded legal assistance to these illegal aliens, although there is no requirement that Americans pay for this legal assistance. Reports from Texas alone show that about 1000 illegal aliens are coming over each day.
*Q - As a member of congress, what action would you push for regarding these children dropped of at our borders and the people who bring them in to the USA illegally? *NOTE: Please limit your responses to 100 words.
Barry Loudermilk: "The root of the illegal immigration crisis in the United States is twofold. First, the Southern Border is not secure and the Federal Government has not taken steps to secure our nation from illegal entry. Our Border Patrol is underfunded, undermanned and has not been given the technological tools they need to ensure the safety and security of residents who live along the border. Secondly, our legal immigration system and work visa program is broken. Furthermore, the Federal government is not forcing the immigration laws we have on the books. Before we can have any relief from the influx of illegal aliens entering into the United State we must secure the borders, enforce our current immigration laws and reform our legal immigration system.
The current influx of children into the United States is placing a tremendous burden on Border States. My heart goes out to these children and families who are being brought across the border, but the Federal government and especially the current administration have not only avoided preventing this travesty, but are encouraging it by providing legal services for these families, at taxpayers' expense.
While these families are here and under the authority and care of our immigration and naturalization service, we should provide for their immediate medical and basic needs, but only until they are returned to the authorities of the nation from which they originated to be reunited with their families."strong>
Bob Barr: "The mass border crossings by "children" reflects a deliberate policy by this Administration to encourage people to enter the U.S. illegally. The Congress must take action immediately – through its oversight responsibility and the power of the purse – to stop this Administration from spending taxpayer dollars dispersing these children around the country.
It is one thing to provide sustenance to the children in the immediate area of the border; beyond that, they should be placed on buses and sent back to Mexico. We must demand Mexico take action to stop this illegal migration, instead of condoning if not encouraging it."
BLUE CARD AMNESTY for illegal alien farm workers: Georgia Agriculture lobbyist Bryan Tolar invents his own "facts" on amnesty legislation – all systems normal
A fixture in the Georgia state Capitol, most Georgians have never heard of Bryan Tolar, but they should pay attention to him and his willingness to hide the truth on the current push for another amnesty for illegal aliens.
Tolar, (for Twitter users, @BTolar) is not just another integrity-challenged lobbyist. He is also president of the Georgia Agribusiness Council which is the immensely powerful advocate for the growers in the state . At the Dustin Inman Society, we have been following his antics for years.
Here is a 2011 Tolar guest column in the Atlanta newspapers desperately pleading with Georgia state legislators to kill the 2011 E-Verify section of Georgia's illegal immigration law that year. In it he tells us that pay and benefits totaling $14.00 and hour is too much for the Ag masters to pay farm workers.
At least he put a number on it.
Last week, Tolar was able to get a plea for readers to contact their congressmen ("Farm labor shortage costly to state") urging passage of "immigration reform" in the June 18 edition of the AJC in which he offered the usual goop about the shortage of farm labor, the concept that when it comes to workers wages, "money is not the issue" and the need for legalization – again - of illegal alien farm workers.
In his guest column, Tolar is selling the 2013 U.S. Senate amnesty bill and the component in it written by the Ag lobby to create a "guest worker" program for the illegal farm workers his industry hires and employs. The scheme is called a "Blue Card" program.
Tolar didn't disappoint those of us who have watched him work for the last several years. But we have to give him credit. He did mention that there already exists a federal visa – H2A - for the Ag industry to bring in legal farm workers. He overlooked telling readers that the H2A visa has no limit to the number of workers who can be imported. Or that agriculture is the only industry in the nation with its own visa process for foreign workers.
Or that according to CNBC net cash farm income rose from the record high in 2010 of $99.4 billion to a then record high of $134.7 billion. Only 35.5 percent profit growth! Not bad for a struggling industry, eh? (Taken from "Phony Farm Labor Shortage: We Need To Talk About It" CNBC CNBC, September 2012.)
But what he did write on the Blue Card was worth noting so that you can decide if anything this character says in the future is worthy of acceptance.
From Tolar's column:
"Recent federal legislative proposals would have met the labor needs of farmers through a "blue card" proposal. The program would not allow for amnesty; it would only allow foreign farm workers to apply for the card if they pay a fine, undergo background checks and prove they have farm work experience. A blue card would certainly not grant citizenship. It would only allow the applicant to legally remain in the country to do farm work for a limited time."
Pro-enforcement Americans who haven't read the Blue Card proposal in the senate bill should have access to some facts on this sales pitch. And should remember the old Latin warning: "Caveat Emptor."
· "Amnesty" is any process that allows any illegal alien to shed that illegal status and/or remain in these United States. The Blue Card scam is amnesty.
· The fine for illegal aliens prescribed in the senate amnesty bill? It's $400.00.
· "A blue card would certainly not grant citizenship." Um, no, a blue card grants "Lawful Permanent Residence" – known as a green card. It is the green card status that allows the lucky former illegal alien to then obtain U.S. citizenship. Odd that Ag lobbyist Bryan Tolar didn't make that clear, huh?
· Tolar then gets deep in the weeds on the blue card with "It would only allow the applicant to legally remain in the country to do farm work for a limited time." Complete, indefensible nonsense. Having obtained a blue card, the formerly illegal alien recipient is now on his way to a green card (lawful permanent status) and then to the jackpot: U.S. citizenship. And the ability to vote. "Limited time" indeed.
See what we mean about Bryan Tolar? The section of the 2013 Senate amnesty bill (s744) that deals with what becomes of blue card holder is section # 2212. The first sentence explains that the holder can access permanent legal residence. The first sentence! That section reproduced HERE.
Oh, Bryan…

D.A. King shares his irate reaction to Jeb Bush's "act of love" - from Fox News Latino
Last Sunday, former Florida Governor and possible GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush offered some thoughts on the crime of illegal immigration and enforcement.
On Monday, a very nice editor at Fox News Latino contacted me asking for my own pro-enforcement opinion on Jeb's statement. That commentary went up on the Fox News Latino website Tuesday. In the interest of local education, I post part of it here, with a link to the entire irate column. Bush's original remarks can be seen on video here.
Interestingly, I have not heard a peep out of anybody in the Georgia delegation in Washington D.C., any elected Georgia Republicans or from any of the candidates for federal office in Georgia about this revealing insight into the mind of someone who is likely going to run to replace Barack Obama. Or maybe Mitt Romney. Either this newshound is missing the Georgia politicians reaction and intent to reaffirm their own position on amnesty vs enforcement, or they are silent. Put your money on the latter possibility.
Personal note: Jeb Bush's remarks and the cone of silence from most Republicans is another reason this working-class conservative will never be a member of any political party.
On Jeb's 'Act Of Love': Republicans Should Keep Looking For A Presidential Candidate
By D.A. King
Published April 08, 2014
Fox News Latino Opinion
Call it the Jeb Bush, establishment-Republican variation on "they are just looking for a better life" cliché. And let's just call him "Jeb."
In what should be the last words of a viable presidential campaign probe, Jeb defends the victims of borders who illegally enter the remnants of the Republic and take American jobs with the unforgettable words "yes, they broke the law, but it's not a felony. It's an act of love, it's an act of commitment to your family."
Apparently American families – of all descriptions – are not a priority for Jeb when it comes to the politics of dutifully providing the business bosses with "cheap" labor.
- D.A. King
Is Jeb saying that anyone in the world with a commitment to their family should be allowed to live and work in the U.S. as long as they don't plan on felonious activity? If so, it could get very crowded. We already take in more than a million legal job-seekers every year.
Not many Americans should have much trouble closing their eyes and imagining Jeb's mindless, pandering proclamations coming out of the mouth of any screaming SEIU street protestor carrying a "not one more deportation" placard.
If not a careful explanation of why Marco Rubio took a painful – and likely permanent – nosedive in the presidential polls, somebody may want to forward the current unemployment numbers to the Bush compound. And maybe send along the United States Code regarding identity fraud and theft of Social Security numbers. Or the fact that coming back to the USA after deportation is a felony.
Jeb floated his "so be it" ramblings while at least 20 million Americans who are committed to their families are out of work or underemployed. The day after Jeb's remarks, the Democrat-controlled Senate passed a bill to again extend unemployment payments for Americans who have been out of work for at least six months.
Apparently American families – of all descriptions – are not a priority for Jeb when it comes to the politics of dutifully providing the business bosses with "cheap" labor… Please see here for the entire column.

A "YEA" vote on the amendment was in favor of illegal aliens losing the ability to access a Georgia drivers license. A "NAY" vote on the amendment was a vote to continue to allow illegal aliens to have a Georgia drivers license.

*Note # 1: The Senate has the option of considering any or all individuals on the governor'slist separately.
*Note # 2: After originally voting "NAY" on the Governor's list of appointments, Senator Judson Hill (R-Marietta) sent a letter to the Secretary of the Senate changing his vote record to "YEA."
"While referring to illegally present aliens as "immigrants" and immigration enforcement as "anti-business," Deal's newly appointed corrections board member Del Milagro Woody has publicly spoken-out against the federal 287(g) program, Attrition Through Enforcement, and complained that immigration law in Arizona "has encouraged Georgia politicians to claim that illegal immigration is costing jobs and threatening the economy."

House legislation designed to make life easier for illegal aliens to access public benefits in Georgia defeated in the state Senate
Perhaps one of the most deceptive bills of the season, House Bill 1051 (Tom Dickson, R, Dalton) flew through the Georgia House early in the 2014 General Assembly, but was killed in the Senate after some basic educational work and political pressure was applied. The ACCG/GMA/ACLU anti-enforcement coalition has remained publicly silent in their failure to slip this one through the system.
Pro-enforcement Americans gain a small, likely temporary, victory in Nathan Deal's Republican-ruled Georgia. You can see how your own state Rep and state Senator voted on the bottom.
It should be noted that DACA illegal aliens ("Deferred action does not provide an individual with lawful status") are accessing most taxpayer-funded Georgia public benefits, including state issued ID cards and drivers licenses and also

Last week the Republican-controlled Georgia Senate confirmed Republican Governor Nathan Deal's appointment of GALEO's anti-enforcement leftist Ms. Rocio Del Milagro Woody to the state's Board of Corrections.
While referring to illegally present aliens as "immigrants" and immigration enforcement as "anti-business," Deal's newly appointed corrections board member Del Milagro Woody has publicly spoken-out against immigration enforcement, the federal 287(g) program, the proven effective attrition through enforcement concept and complained that immigration law in Arizona "has encouraged Georgia politicians to claim that illegal immigration is costing jobs and threatening the economy."
The vote for confirmation of the list of the Governor's appointments was 39 "YEA" - *13 "NAY" and 4 not voting. You can see how your own state Senator voted on the official Senate vote record, which is HERE.
*NOTE: Senator Judson Hill originally voted "NAY" but has since asked the Secretary of the Senate to change the record to reflect a "YEA" vote to confirm Rocio Del Milagro Woody to a five-year term on the corrections board.
It is important to know that the Senate had the ability to consider Woody's name separately from the other names on Deal's list of appointees.
The Republican Majority Leader moved to dispense with the reading of the list of appointments. There were no objections to the motion or the inclusion of Rocio Del Milagro Woody's appointment and the motion passed.
VIDEO: If you want to watch the short Senate video archive of this vote, it is HERE . Debate at 211:30 . Vote at 218:00.
Last week the same Republican-controlled Georgia Senate voted down an amendment to legislation that would have ended the issuance of drivers licenses to illegal aliens. You can see how your own state Senator voted on that disgraceful issue HERE.
A Senate Resolution that would have allowed Georgia voters to answer a November ballot question on amending the state constitution making English the official language of government and ending the current practice of offering the written drivers license test in 11 language other than English was not allowed to escape from Senate Rules committee. The same resolution passed in Oklahoma in 2010 by 76%.
All of this is due to the orders from the Chamber of Commerce and big business.
Welcome to Republican-ruled Georgiafornia.!
Upon educated constituent's complaints to some Republican Georgia state Senators, we are hearing that the Senators are telling constituents that they had no choice on voting on the confirmation of Rocio Del Milagro Woody, because the Governor's List of Appointments was "presented in a bundle." This is not true. As you can see on the video, the Senators waived the individual reading of the names on the list.
They knowingly voted to create a "bundle" after having been educated on Gov. Nathan Deal's appointment of this leftist Democrat.
Also, some Senators are claiming to have known nothing about Rocio Del Milagro Woody or that her name was on the list of appointees. This would be alarming if it were true, because it means that they blindly voted on confirmation to an important state position.
But, they did have an education on Woody: I personally stood at the door of the Republican Senate Caucus meeting the week before they voted an handed out a printed copy of the above Breitbart News article linked above.
VIDEO Keeping score at Georgia's Republican-controlled state Senate:
Who voted to continue to allow illegal aliens to obtain and keep Georgia drivers licenses?
Ever ask yourself what really goes on under the Gold Dome? Here's something. There is a link to official video at the bottom. See if you recognize anyone.
With a Republican-super majority, on March 3, 2014 -"Cross-over Day" - the Georgia state Senate voted on an amendment to legislation related to drivers licenses. Republican state Senator Bill Heath, unable to move his own bill out of the Senate Rules Committee, attempted to attach the same language to SB 392.
The amendment's addition would have stopped the issuance of drivers licenses to illegal aliens who have benefitted from Obama's illegal delayed action on deportation DACA amnesty. It is important to know that the DACA illegal aliens are still illegal aliens.
The Heath Amendment, with co-signers Senators Mike Crane, John Albers, Josh McKoon, William Ligon and Judson Hill, failed by a vote of 27-8. There are 56 state Senators. 38 Republicans, 18 Democrats. For the Obama-voters, this vote shows that 21 members of the Senate did not vote.
NOTE: This vote was not tallied on the public Senate vote machine and was done by a "stand and be counted" hand vote that was not officially recorded. Handy, ehh?
A "YEA" vote was in favor of illegal aliens losing the ability to access a Georgia drivers license. A "NAY" vote on the amendment was a vote to continue to allow illegal aliens to have a Georgia drivers license.

I'll add two points:
1) The nationally suicidal extension of birthright citizenship to children born to illegal aliens should be challenged and overturned. 2) And adopting English as the official language of these United States would go a long way towards uniting the most diverse nation in the world. Si?
This ought to keep the anti-enforcement nuts babbling for a few days. Have fun!

Principled Immigration Reform Puts Americans First
PR Newswire
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15, 2014
House GOP Leaders Must Rule Out Amnesty and Increased Immigration, Says FAIR
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Under the leadership of Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), House Republicans are drafting a set of immigration reform principles to guide them as they debate immigration in 2014. They plan to release these principles in time for their January 29th GOP retreat.
At the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), we hope these principles will finally place the interests of Americans first – an idea that is conspicuously absent from the reforms being proposed by the leaders of either party.
FAIR's core principles for immigration reform are:
No more amnesties. We can create clever euphemisms, but the only people we will be fooling are ourselves. Any policy that legalizes illegal aliens is amnesty and will lead to even more illegal immigration. This includes any "pathways to citizenship" or legalization programs that grant green cards or work visas.
Secure our borders. The last time our government measured border security, only 13 percent of our borders are under "operational control." That is simply unacceptable. To get the job done, we must use all the tools at our disposal. We must put more boots on the ground, add infrastructure (such as fencing) and implement proven technology to reduce the flow of illegal aliens across the border.
End visa overstays. Approximately 30-40 percent of illegal aliens are aliens who entered the U.S. legally, but overstayed their visas. To end this practice, we must add Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and finally implement a biometric entry-exit system at all ports of entry—a system already required by law.
Stop the hiring of illegal workers. Unless we remove the incentives to enter the U.S. illegally, we will not stop illegal immigration. We must eliminate the jobs magnet by requiring all employers use E-Verify and demand rigorous worksite enforcement that holds both employers and illegal workers accountable.
Robustly and uniformly enforce our immigration laws. Policies that direct law enforcement to ignore violations of our laws undermine the rule of law and are inherently unjust to law-abiding legal immigrants. We must enforce our existing immigration laws, eliminate fraud throughout the system, and prohibit the adoption of policies by state/local governments that encourage illegal immigration or provide benefits to illegal aliens. Enforcement doesn't require mass deportation. If we enforce our laws and remove the incentives to remain here, many illegal aliens will go home on their own.
Implement a merit-based immigration system. Our immigration system should choose immigrants based on an objective assessment of who is most likely to benefit the economic and social interests of our nation.
End family chain migration. Family-based immigration must be limited to spouses and unmarried minor children. Entitlements for extended family migration lead to an immigration system that is not based on merit, runs on autopilot and fosters exponential growth in immigration.
Support the American worker. American workers are the best and most productive in the world. They are eager to work. What they need is the opportunity to compete for jobs at fair wages, not unfair competition created by massive guest worker programs. In addition, just because we could benefit from some skilled immigration doesn't mean we should rubber stamp visas for every applicant with certain skills. We should develop and encourage our own STEM professionals, not discourage them by flooding the labor market.
Limit overall immigration. We are a nation of over 315 million people. We need to consider how much we want to grow and how that growth will affect jobs, our environment, resources and quality of life in America.
About FAIR
Founded in 1979, FAIR is the country's largest immigration reform group. With over 250,000 members nationwide, FAIR fights for immigration policies that serve national interests, not special interests. FAIR believes that immigration reform must enhance national security, improve the economy, protect jobs, preserve our environment, and establish a rule of law that is recognized and enforced.

While most people will never be confronted by a violent intruder in their home, and fewer will ever have a Watts-style riot try to burn their home down, that's precisely what allowing those high-capacity magazines are for. Because it's a guarantee that the police won't be able to get there in time, assuming they show up at all. Right to keep and bear arms

Striped Pebble Persimmon Chindi
great rugs
these are perfect match with the curtains i bought from W.M.
January 25, 2013
I do NOT recommend this rug.
We bought this rug and loved it in the store. When we got home we noticed that it had a very bad musty smell. We decided to wash it to get rid of the smell. We followed the directions on the tag (cold water, delicate, etc.) and the rug still smelled very bad afterward and the red color bled all over as we were trying to air dry it. We ended up just throwing it away and not even taking it in for a refund ...the red dye in our house was a nightmare and the risk of it turning our carpet, etc red was not worth the refund to take it back. I am not sure if this is an exception as the other reviews of this rug are good. We have many other things from World Market that are wonderful so I was very surprised at the poor quality of this rug. I would not recommend!

Congratulations, you've just taken another step up the American-dream ladder and are a homeowner. Along with the joy of painting, plumbing and yardwork, you now have some new tax considerations.
The good news is you can deduct many home-related expenses. These tax breaks are available for any abode -- mobile home, single-family residence, town house, condominium or cooperative apartment.
The bad news is, to take full tax advantage of your home, your taxes will likely get more complicated. In most cases, homeowners itemize. That means you're not living on "EZ" Street anymore; you've moved to the 1040 long form and Schedule A, where you'll have to detail your deductible expenses.
For many homeowners, the effort of itemizing is well worth it at tax time. Some, however, might find that claiming the standard deduction remains their best move. How do you decide? First, find your standard deduction amount, based on your filing status: $5,450 for taxpayers who are single or married but filing separately; $8,000 for heads of households; and $10,900 for married couples who file joint returns. Then compare it to the total expenses you can itemize and file using the method that gives you the larger deduction.
To help you figure your possible Schedule A tax breaks, here's a look at homeowner expenses you can deduct, ones you can't and some tips to get the most tax advantages out of your new property owning status.
Mortgage interest Your biggest tax break is reflected in the house payment you make each month since, for most homeowners, the bulk of that check goes toward interest. And all that interest is deductible, unless your loan is more than $1 million. If you're the proud owner of a multimillion-dollar mortgaged mansion, the Internal Revenue Service will limit your deductible interest.
Interest tax breaks don't end with your home's first mortgage. Did you pull out extra cash through refinancing? Or did you decide instead to get a home equity loan or line of credit? Either way, that interest also is deductible, again within IRS guidelines.
Generally, equity debts of $100,000 or less are fully deductible. But even then, the remaining amount of your first mortgage could restrict your tax break. This could be a concern if you excessively leverage your house.
When a homeowner takes out an equity loan that, when combined with his first mortgage amount, increases the debt on the house to an amount more than the property's actual value, the homeowner faces additional deductibility limits. In these cases, the IRS says you can deduct the smaller of interest on a $100,000 loan or your home's value less the amount of your existing mortgage.
For example, say you bought your home three years ago with a minimal down payment. Your mortgage balance is $95,000 and the house is now worth $110,000. Your bank says you qualify for a 125 percent loan-to-value equity line, or $42,500 ($110,000 x 125 percent = $137,000 - $95,000 left on your first mortgage). To pay for your daughter's college tuition and buy her a car to get to school, you take the bank up on the offer, thinking the interest deduction on the loan would be icing on the tax-break cake.
