Falls on a Sunday this year! Masses are the regular Sunday schedule (Saturday at 5 PM; Sunday at 7:30, 9, and 11:15 AM). Brass and singers are off. I will be leading the singing from the console this weekend.
Side note: I was reading in a thread on one of the Facebook pages I frequent that some church (Catholic) used Angels we have heard on high in place of the Gloria. Let me emphasize this: Angels we have heard on high is NOT the Gloria. It is simply a Christmas carol with the line Gloria in excelsis Deo incorporated within. It is perfectly appropriate as a hymn, but never in place of the Gloria or any Mass Ordinary. Here endeth the rant.

Poverty has Declined in the United States, and Work Requirements in Welfare Programs are Not a Punishment
share-this-page-on-facebook

Aiming to transition more non-disabled working-age Americans into the workforce, President Trump signed an Executive Order in April 2018 instructing agencies to reform their welfare programs by reducing dependence and encouraging work, in part by strengthening and expanding work requirements (to the extent that current law allows). The President's Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) on July 12 released a report recommending that current work requirements be expanded in non-cash welfare programs including food stamps (formally the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), Medicaid, and Federal housing assistance programs.
Expecting non-disabled working-age adults to work shouldn't be controversial. Nonetheless, some are critical of the idea that welfare programs should require work, and others have attacked CEA's reporting of evidence from the scientific literature on poverty. Below we summarize the principal findings of our report and respond to its critics.
What the CEA report says
The CEA report finds that while the substantial growth in non-cash welfare programs has played an important role in reducing material hardship at the bottom of the income distribution in the United States, it has come at the expense of a reduction in self-sufficiency.
As evidence of our success in reducing material hardship since the War on Poverty was declared in 1964, we cite the findings of scientific (and bipartisan) research on poverty trends, displayed in Figure 1 below. While the official poverty measure shows little reduction in poverty since 1969, this measure has serious conceptual flaws that make it an inaccurate indicator of material hardship. For example, it does not count non-cash welfare benefits or tax credits that benefit low-income households. In contrast, a consumption-based poverty measure that overcomes these flaws shows a 77 percent drop in the poverty rate since 1980 and a 90 percent drop since 1961.
We argue that this dramatic reduction in material hardship, in combination with increased government dependency, supports a renewed emphasis on work requirements in non-cash welfare programs to help increase self-sufficiency, especially in the current hot economy. The majority of adult recipients on noncash welfare programs are non-disabled and of working age (18-64). Furthermore, the majority of these recipients either don't work at all or work less than 20 hours per week. The bipartisan welfare reforms of the 1990s show that imposing work requirements on some segments of this expected-to-work population would increase self-sufficiency and work effort. Doing so in coordination with other pro-work activities like job training or provision of childcare would increase their work effort even further and mitigate the risk of leaving some people worse off.
Unfortunately, too many of the responses to our report reflexively dismiss these scientific findings on poverty trends and otherwise mischaracterize the CEA report.
Rejecting the science on poverty trends
Some critics seem to believe Figure 1 is a CEA invention. In fact, the numbers are based on a decades-long research agenda by two highly distinguished economists: Bruce Meyer, an economics professor at the University of Chicago, and James Sullivan, an economics professor at the University of Notre Dame.
While Meyer and Sullivan published the data underlying Figure 1 in 2017 in the conservative-leaning American Enterprise Institute's report series, they published an earlier version in 2012 in the liberal-leaning Brookings Institution's journal under the title of "Winning the War: Poverty from the Great Society to the Great Recession." Their consumption-based poverty measures have also been published in top academic journals in the economics literature like the American Economic Review, the Journal of Public Economics, and the Journal of Economic Perspectives.
The authors set the record straight in a column yesterday for the Wall Street Journal:
In fact, poverty has declined significantly over the past 50 years, but neither side has recognized the major progress that has been made. So it is heartening to see that the White House, through the CEA, has taken the step of recognizing that progress—and recommending that the existing safety net be adapted and improved in light of it.
Unfortunately, ignoring the academic literature on poverty is not unique to critics of the CEA report. Earlier this year, the United Nations Human Rights Council released a misleading report on poverty in the United States. It makes the claim that 18.5 million Americans live in "extreme poverty," and it continually relies on the flawed official poverty measure to cast aspersions on U.S. social policies enacted under both Democrat and Republican Administrations. For example, it states that "[f]or almost five decades the overall policy response has been neglectful at best," and the report speaks of the "squalor and deprivation in which vast numbers of Americans exist."
In reality, the United States spent over $730 billion on major assistance programs for low-income Americans in 2016 (including food stamps, Medicaid, housing assistance programs and the Earned Income Tax Credit), none of which is included when calculating the official poverty rate. For context, if all of these funds instead had been given to the 40.6 million people falling below the official poverty line in 2016 that would have increased their income by approximately $18,000 per person. Meanwhile, over 99.8 percent of Americans are housed on a given night, and according to the latest data, 98.7 percent of households had adequate access to hot water, heat and electricity in 2015.
Mischaracterizing the CEA report
While some have rejected the science on poverty measurement, others mischaracterize the CEA report by suggesting it claims that poverty is over. That is a gross misrepresentation of what we actually write:
"Based on historical standards and the terms of engagement, our War on Poverty is largely over and a success."
The "War on Poverty," as we make clear in the report, refers to a commitment in 1964 by Lyndon B. Johnson to reduce poverty. A straightforward way to evaluate the success of this initiative is to take living standards from that time and determine the share of the population that falls below that standard today—conceptually that is what the Official Poverty Measure was intended (but fails) to do. As seen in the figure above, Meyer and Sullivan more systematically take this approach and show that consumption-based poverty has fallen dramatically, by 90 percent since 1961 (consumption surveys were conducted only intermittently at this time, and so they lacked data for 1964). In what world is a 90 percent reduction in poverty not a success?
Of course, poverty thresholds are arbitrary and one could argue that an increase in the original 1960s poverty thresholds is warranted. Therefore, the number of people defined as poor in that sense is also arbitrary. We make this clear in our report.
But the key point is that material hardship has fallen dramatically since the War on Poverty was declared. As we state in the report, "[n]one of these statistics is intended to deny the ways in which millions of Americans sometimes struggle to make ends meet." What is undeniable is that people in the bottom of the distribution are materially much better off today than 50 years ago.
Why declining hardship motivates a renewed focus on self-sufficiency
While material hardship has fallen dramatically, it did not happen because people worked themselves out of poverty as President Johnson envisioned. As a whole, our poverty programs have not focused enough on transitioning their recipients out of poverty via pro-work incentives, and our policies are failing to strengthen self-sufficiency. In that regard, the War on Poverty has not been a success. A larger portion of non-disabled working-age adults receive welfare benefits each year, and growth in work has been stunted for this group, especially among men. This suggests we should renew our focus on self-sufficiency in welfare programs via expanding work requirements.
Are work requirements simply a means to "punish the poor" as some suggest? No. It is universally accepted among economists that welfare programs that provide material benefits to low-income households create a perverse incentive to not work. That's because as you increase your earnings from work, you lose a portion of your benefits. For example, if you earn $100 more at your job but lose $50 worth of welfare benefits, that's a 50 percent tax on earnings that can discourage people from working. There is a debate among economists about how much these welfare programs discourage work, although a number of well-designed studies find significant reductions in work caused by receipt of welfare benefits.
Work requirements can help overcome the work disincentive problem because assistance is conditioned on working or preparing to work. That's one reason to support work requirements. But as we note in the report, even if welfare programs only modestly discourage work, a greater focus on work requirements is still warranted. If as a society we care about both material wellbeing and self-sufficiency, then we should view the large gains in material wellbeing but weakening in self-sufficiency in past decades as an opportunity to focus on self-sufficiency.
While there is a risk that some people who fail to comply with work requirements could be made materially worse off, on the whole people are likely to be made better off. That's because work requirements can induce more people into the workforce, potentially increasing income or exposing children to better environments. Welfare reforms in the 1990s that imposed work requirements and rewarded work via the Earned Income Tax Credit increased employment, reduced welfare dependency and reduced poverty. And even the poorest people affected by reforms were made better off in terms of consumption levels (or at least not worse off).
Of course, whether work requirements have net benefits depends on how well they are designed. We note the importance of providing work supports when necessary and exempting some non-disabled working-age recipients for various reasons. But to claim that well-designed work requirements "punish the poor" is not supported by the evidence.
Ultimately, people living in poverty and taxpayers funding welfare programs deserve a policy response rooted in truth, not punditry. Out-of-hand dismissals of widely accepted academic literature impairs our ability to do so.

Euro 2016 soccer helps slow Macau gaming: Nomura
Jun 22, 2016 Newsdesk Latest News, Macau, Top of the deck
The Euro 2016 soccer tournament in France is contributing to a slowing in Macau casino gross gaming revenue (GGR) during June, said a note on Monday from Japanese brokerage Nomura.
A number of investment analysts have in the past suggested there is potential for a negative correlation between the calendar for major international soccer events – mainly the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA Euro championships, which generally last for around a month – and Macau GGR.
They have argued that this is because a portion of the Macau casino clientele – mostly drawn from mainland China – like to put some of their gambling budget into soccer betting rather than spending it on Macau's tables and slot machines.
China's sports lottery – an officially licensed lottery system on the mainland – showed a spike in sales revenue during World Cup 2014, held in Brazil. But some soccer betting by Chinese consumers during such international tournaments is said to have been on unlicensed gambling products.
Xinhua, an official news agency, reported following World Cup 2014 – quoting China's Ministry of Public Security – that more than RMB18 billion (US$2.7 billion) had changed hands in cases of illegal football gambling detected by the authorities during that tournament.
Nomura analysts Richard Huang and Stella Xing said in their Monday note regarding Macau casinos' June performance to date: "With a lower-than-expected VIP win rate of 2.70 percent (versus theoretic average of 2.85 percent) and the impact from the commencement of the EuroCup [Euro 2016] (from 11 June onwards), average daily gaming revenue (GGR), excluding slots, was down 22 percent week-on-week to HKD432 million [US$55.7 million]."
"June 2016 thus far has been much weaker than our original expectation, with gaming revenues tracking at a 7-11 percent year-on-year decline (versus our original forecast of flat year-on-year)," said the Nomura team.
"We continue to expect a slow-grind recovery in GGR, but the fact that June 2016 GGR is heading to a five-year low (the last time GGR dipped below HKD16.0 billion was in September 2010) highlights the potential risk of demand disappointment," they added.

African Free Trade Deal Takes Effect
FILE - A man, center, carries a map with the African continent on it at a local market in the city of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, Nov. 4, 2014. The African continental free trade agreement, aiming to facilitate the movement of goods across the continent, went into effect Thursday.
NAIROBI —
The African continental free trade agreement went into effect Thursday, with 24 of 54 countries ratifying it.
The plan was signed at the African Union summit in Kigali in 2016, after four years of negotiations, with Burkina Faso being the latest country to join.
The agreement aims to facilitate the free movement of goods and people across the continent.
Charles Kahuthu, head of the East African Chamber of Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture, says African countries trading among themselves will benefit the continent.
FILE - The African Heads of States and Governments pose during the African Union Summit for the agreement to establish the African Continental Free Trade Area in Kigali, Rwanda, March 21, 2018.
"Africa continental free trade area, if we use that framework to increase or boost intra-Africa trade, would mean value addition for our raw materials," he said. "Those natural resources we have an abundance of instead of exporting them in raw form, we shall use the demand in the continent to be able to process them in a manner that our own consumers within Africa can use."
With imported goods flooding the African market from Asia, some African countries are implementing mechanisms and laws to protect their farmers and industries.
"Our infrastructure is outward looking," said Fred Muhunza, who teaches economics at the University of Makerere in Kampala. "We do not have transport byways of roads, airport and air travel that link Africa with Africa for purposes of trade. A lot of trade is looking beyond Africa, outside Africa."
Also, African countries have been looking at measures to block other goods, he added.
"We have a number of local laws that are coming against foreign free trade which is going to be detailed. We also have standards, much of African countries don't have a common standard. So a country decides to use non-tariff measures may have to decide and say your standard is not good, so that is not going to go through," Muhunza said.
Thirty African countries have yet to sign the continent's trade agreement. Signatories have until July to find ways to make the deal work.

How Will Politics Impact Super Bowl LI?
Monday, February 13, 2017, By Ellen Mbuqe
facultyFalk College of Sport and Human DynamicsSuper Bowl
The vast amount of attention paid to the Super Bowl has helped to put politics front and center, even if the NFL would rather keep people's eyes on the field.
Dennis Deninger, professor of practice at the Falk School and teaches a class on the Super Bowl and told ABC News that the NFL has gone to great lengths to try and depoliticize the league, and that Sunday's game will test its ability to control it.
"They're going to do their best to keep politics off the field but how are you going to prevent Lady Gaga from making a political statement, if she wants to do it?" Deninger said, referring to the game's half-time performer, who is an outspoken advocate for LGBT issues and supported Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election.

It's no secret I am still in wedding mode. I prepped for so long and we worked so hard at making it the best day ever and it was! Planning a wedding or preparing for any big event can be very stressful. Generally, when I am very stressed it shows in my skin. I usually break out, have bags under my eyes and my skin looks dull and dehydrated. I was sooo nervous this would happen for my wedding. Plus, we had to travel on top of it and that is never easy on skin. Luckily I found the secret to keeping my skin clear and glowing for my big day.
1. Regular facials - If you aren't someone who gets facials regularly, I recommend starting to! They make the world of a difference. Shani Darden has taken my skin to a whole new level. With monthly facials and the right products my skin has been consistently good and that is rare for me. Start doing this regularly at least 3 months before your event. If you don't want to go for facials, at least use a Clarisonic daily, it will absolutely change your skin. (Use it in addition to monthly facials as well!) I highly recommend Shani's Retinol Reform and Dr. Dennis Gross Peel Pads, no joke these things have changed my life!!!
2. A gallon of water a day. Yes. A gallon. I swear to you it makes your skin glow! There are so many health benefits to doing this as well. It also speeds up your metabolism and can give you more energy. I am addicted to it at this point. It seemed like a lot at first and it is. But you get used to it and don't feel the same on days you drink less.
5. Ice Ice baby. Regular icing of your face (sounds yummy but not that kind of icing!) keeps inflammation down. On the day of my wedding I woke up with bags because I cried the night before (Darin and I slept in separate rooms and it was very emotional for me!!) The ice took the puffiness down better than any eye pads or eye creams. It seriously works the best and is free! You cant beat that!!
6. EXFOLIATE! Dont forget about your body! Chances are you are wearing a dress or something that will show off skin. You want your body to glow as much as your face. Get this Hammam exfoliating mit for the best exfoliation of your body ever!! Just use it with your soap, scrub away and reveal gorgeous glowing skin!
What are some of your tricks for clear glowing skin? Share them with me in the comment section below!!

Success in reversing dementia in mice sets the stage for human clinical trials
29-Jun-2021 2:10 PM EDT, by Tohoku University
Newswise — Researchers have identified a new treatment candidate that appears to not only halt neurodegenerative symptoms in mouse models of dementia and Alzheimer's disease, but also reverse the effects of the disorders.
The team, based at Tohoku University, published their results on June 8 in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. The treatment candidate has been declared safe by Japan's governing board, and the researchers plan to begin clinical trials in humans in the next year.
"There are currently no disease-modifying therapeutics for neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, Huntington disease and frontotemporal dementia in the world," said paper author Kohji Fukunaga, professor emeritus in Tohoku University's Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences. "We discovered the novel, disease-modifying therapeutic candidate SAK3, which, in our studies, rescued neurons in most protein-misfolding, neurodegenerative diseases."
In a previous study, the team found that the SAK3 molecule - the base structure of which is found in the enhancement of T-type Ca2+ channel activity - appeared to help improve memory and learning in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.
According to previous studies, SAK3 enhances the function of a cell membrane channel thereby promoting neuronal activity in the brain. Typically, SAK3 promotes neurotransmitter releases of acetylcholine and dopamine that are significantly reduced in Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body dementia. The Ca2+ channel enhancement is thought to trigger a change from resting to active in neuronal activity. When the Ca2+ channel is dysregulated in the brain, the acetylcholine and dopamine releases are reduced. The result is a dysregulated system that a person experiences as cognitive confusion and uncoordinated motor function.
SAK3 directly binds to the subunit of this channel, resulting in the enhancement of neurotransmission thereby improving cognitive deficits. The researchers found that the same process also appeared to work in a mouse model of Lewy body dementia, which is characterized by a build-up of proteins known as Lewy bodies.
"Even after the onset of cognitive impairment, SAK3 administration significantly prevented the progression of neurodegenerative behaviors in both motor dysfunction and cognition," Fukunaga said.
In comparison, Aduhelm, the Alzheimer's drug recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, reduces the number of amyloid plaques in the brain, but it is not yet known if the amyloid reduction actually prevents further cognitive or motor decline in patients. According to Fukunaga, SAK3 helps destroy amyloid plaque - at least in mice.
SAK3 also helps manage the destruction of misfolded alpha-synuclein. Normal alpha-synuclein helps regulate neurotransmitter transmission in the brain. The protein can misfold and aggregate, contributing to what researchers suspect may be an underlying cause of neurodegenerative symptoms. This aggregation can also lead to the loss of dopamine neurons, which help with learning and memory.
"We found that chronic administration of SAK3 significantly inhibited the accumulation of alpha-synuclein in the mice," Fukunaga said, noting that the mice received a daily oral dose of SAK3.
According to Fukunaga, SAK3 enhances the activity of the system that identifies and destroys misfolded proteins. In neurodegenerative diseases, this system is often dysfunctional, leaving misfolded proteins to muck up the cell's machinery.
"SAK3 is the first compound targeting this regulatory activity in neurodegenerative disorders," Fukunaga said. "SAK3 administration promotes the destruction of misfolded proteins, meaning the therapeutic has the potential to solve the problems of diverse protein misfolding diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia and Huntington disease, in addition to Alzheimer's disease."

Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank names Alberto Contador's team for Vuelta a España
Categories: Pro Cycling, Vuelta a España
Danish team all for Spanish rider after his return from suspension
Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank has named the team of riders that will support Alberto Contador in his quest to win a second Vuelta a España, which starts on Saturday, August 18th. The Spanish rider, who recently returned from the ban imposed for his positive test for Clenbuterol at the 2010 Tour de France, won the race in his only previous appearance, in 2008, and is hoping to bounce back from his suspension in style.
Contador's ban ended on August 4th, and he returned to racing at the Eneco Tour, in Belgium and the Netherlands, where he currently sits in tenth overall.
"We are entering this year's Vuelta a España with one overall goal, and that is to win the race with Alberto Contador," explained team owner Bjarne Riis. "Alberto has made a solid comeback in Eneco Tour gaining some important race experience, he looked strong and seems ready and well prepared for the last Grand Tour of the season.
"The selection of our roster for the Vuelta of course reflects this clear goal. We have tried to put together a group of riders that can support Alberto throughout the race, both on the flat stages and in the mountains. Rafal [Majka], Sergio [Paulinho], Bruno [Pires], Jesus [Hernandez] and Dani [Navarro] will be our guys for the mountains, and Benjamin, Nicki and Matteo will help protect Alberto on the windy and flat stages. At the same time we have a very experienced group with numerous Grand Tours done. I think it is a very strong lineup, we can field."
Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank had been built around Contador's race-winning potential in the last two years, but his retrospective suspension saw the Danish team lose virtually all of its WorldTour points from 2011. The team has struggled to take points in the Spaniard's absence and, subject to a possible appeal launched by Riis, any that Contador earns in the next two years will also not count.
Nevertheless, the Danish team is putting its resources behind Contador's bid for a second Vuelta title, although Riis knows that the competition will be fierce.

Pledging Your Moral Stand for Immigrants Rights
Cross posted from Faultline USA
In the coming weeks and months your church may ask you to sign a pledge that you will take "a public, moral stand for immigrant's rights." If you oppose illegal immigration, are you ready for this faith challenge? Isn't it possible to stand for human rights for immigrants while at the same time insisting that illegal immigration must end? Not so if your church has gone over to the left!
While the left is pulling out all the stops and mounting its biggest push to get congress to pass the Dream Act, we conservatives are overlooking a vital resource – American Christian church goers. Leftist infiltration of all Christian denominations, to some extent, is pervasive. Soon many Christians of all denominations will be asked to sign a Sanctuary pledge for immigrant rights. And on October 8th Christians of all denominations will be asked by the National Council of Churches to pray and fast to end "an unnecessary, morally abhorrent, and disastrous" war in Iraq!
No matter what your religion or even if you don't have a religion, it is vital to get the word out to those practicing Christians who have been increasingly subjected to leftist indoctrination.
You can check out your own denomination by following the provided links.

Aztlan Website Celebrates Al Qaeda And Recent Oil Bombings In Mexico, from Digger's Realm:
Stating that "Al Qaeda's goal to collapse the US economy seems on track" on the front page of Aztlan.net, Ernesto Cienfuegos of La Voz de Aztlan brings us "Mexican insurgents cause record $80 per barrel crude oil price". In the article (which I will not link), Cienfuegos states that:
In addition, the Strategic Forecasting, Inc. (Stratfor), through the US State Department, is now offering its services to President Felipe Calderon. Stratfor is supposedly a private intelligence agency founded in 1996 in Austin, Texas but insiders know the outfit as "The Shadow CIA". Stratfor analysts say that the EPR has "evolved greatly". They believe that the recent sophisticated operations by the EPR can not be the work of simple "campesinos". Stratfor says that they believe the recent bombings were led by very experienced bomb makers. They note that the recent operations against PEMEX have evolved greatly from what is usual for the group. The range of the attacks are much more widespread and are coming much more frequent. They are also worried about the much more sophisticated and much more powerful Improvised Explosives Devices (IED's) the EPR has been using.
This basically tells us that the EPR, or Popular Revolutionary Army, are working with a more advanced terrorist group. This group is not only teaching them exactly how to carry out attacks, but also how to make those attacks more successful and devastating. (more)

Pro-America Companies
Do you want to patronize only businesses that strictly abide by federal immigration laws and hire ONLY legal individuals? Here's your answer: Pro-America Companies, You can find legal workers, legal businesses, search for companies that do NOT carry Chinese-made toys (list here), join a discussion forum, read the presidential candidates views of illegal immigration, link to Made in the USA, and many other options:
Pro-America Companies is … an Internet-based outfit still waiting to be approved by the state as a nonprofit organization. It acts as a clearinghouse for people across the nation to find companies that have pledged to hire only legal workers.Since setting up his Web site three months ago, David Marlett said more than 400 companies in 43 states have signed up for the free listing. As an added incentive, he offers to act as a middleman between participants and the government in a program that checks potential hires' immigration status.
Known for a decade as the Basic Pilot Program and now called "E-Verify," the program allows employers to confirm workers' Social Security numbers with those listed by the government. The free service has existed for a decade and so far 22,000 have signed up. Marlett already has an agreement with the Homeland Security Department to act as a go-between to run checks for companies, he said. While other such "designated agents" — around 200 nationwide, typically outsourced human resources services — charge for such help, Marlett currently does it for free. He said he eventually plans to charge for the service.

An example of a union's concern for workers, just not American workers!

September 14th, 2007 by Sam Pierce
Meatpackers Union Sues Over Plant Raids from APnews.myway.com
This is what American workers pay union dues for. The union that represents American workers suing I.C.E. for violating the rights of the illegal aliens that are displacing them. How does this protect the workers that pay the dues? How does a union have any credibility with its membership when it actively assists in the transfer of their jobs to illegals?
If I were a union member and my union was suing the department responsible for detaining and deporting the largest threat to my employment, I believe I might start to doubt the level of the union's commitment to me. I might begin to believe that the purpose the union is serving might be something other than looking out for its members. Who knows, I might even be inclined to vote for the candidate I think would be the best president and ignore the campaign recommendation of my union.

Hispanic businesses feel the squeeze Crackdown on illegal immigration partly blamed for sudden halt in sales By AIXA M. PASCUAL The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Published on: 09/14/07 Customers at Valeria Espinosa's variety store just browse the CD racks and the T-shirts on the wall.

Her sales are down by about 40 percent for the past two months.
"They don't splurge on themselves," Espinosa, who emigrated from Argentina six years ago, says in Spanish.
Espinosa's shop on Powder Springs Road in Marietta is not the only one hurting. Many businesses that cater to Hispanics are seeing a slowdown in sales. The crackdown on illegal immigrants, Espinosa says, "also hurts those of us who have papers."
And the fallout has spread far beyond car dealers, which immediately felt the impact from a law that went into effect on July 1 requiring a Georgia driver's license or ID card to get a car tag. It's affecting bakeries, insurance peddlers, banks, food manufacturers, supermarkets, restaurants and other businesses.

Another Example of why the U.S. Needs to Redefine Citizenship
Cross posted from The Virtuous Republic
The following story exemplifies why the U.S. needs to redefine citizenship. Citizenship should not simply be granted to anyone who is simply born on American soil.
Right now, due to the interpretation of the 14th amendment, based on this clause, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside", means that children of illegal aliens born in the U.S. are automatically American citizens.
It is doubtful, that this post-civil war civil rights amendment, meant to aid the newly freed slaves was meant to give citizenship to every person born on American soil. Whether excluding children of illegal aliens or even foreign tourists can be accomplished by simple legislation or if it would require a constitution amendment is of course a question left to constitutional scholars.
The only thing certain is that it is simply insane to grant citizenship to children born to parents who are in the U.S. illegally.
An illegal immigrant allowed to stay in the U.S., apparently because of a routine delay in paperwork, while her four children face deportation could now be forced to go back to Mexico, a government lawyer told an immigration court Wednesday.
The case against 32-year-old Rocio Godinez's children was postponed at a status hearing so immigration officials can decided whether to include her in the proceedings.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement will decide whether to order Godinez to immigration court, said agency lawyer Carmen Leal. The proceedings against her children, ages 10 to 18, have been going on for the past two years.
"They're going after Rocio now," said family attorney Jonathan Ryan. He said he believes the government decided to move on Godinez after media reports on the case.
"We knew this was a chance we were taking with going public," Ryan said.
ICE said it would have no comment Wednesday.
The family's next hearing will take place in early December, when they will again make the more than three-hour trip from their home in San Angelo to San Antonio.
Godinez and her four children came to the U.S. in the late 1990s on tourist visas, which later expired.
In 2001, Godinez's father, a legal U.S. resident, filed a petition for them to stay in the country. But the paperwork is years away from being processed because excessive demand for a limited number of visas has created a federal backlog.
In May 2005, Godinez was pulled over for speeding and was referred to Border Patrol. Deportation proceedings for her children began after that.
Godinez, who also has a 7-year-old American-born child, said the situation puts her in a difficult situation because her family may be torn between two countries. Read more here.

More Proof that Open Borders Invites Criminals into Our Midst
If you ever need an argument against open borders and illegal immigration, simply start pointing out all of the criminals who enter our national illegally.
ICE recently issued a press release in which they noted that they had deported 839 illegal aliens. Of those 839 illegal aliens, 170 were criminals. Nice ratio, wouldn't you say?
839 illegal aliens deported from Florida in August
170 criminal aliens among those deported
MIAMI– A 35-year-old national of El Salvador wanted by Interpol for homicide was among the 839 illegal aliens deported in August from Florida by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation officers.
Armando Quijada was escorted back to El Salvador on Aug. 14 and turned over to Salvadoran authorities without incident.
Also wanted by Interpol and deported were Orlando Galdamez-Salguero and Ryszard Kowalski. Galdamez-Salguero, 44, was escorted to his native country of Mexico and turned over to Mexican authorities. He too was wanted for homicide. Kowalski, 40, of Poland was wanted by his government for dealing in stolen property.
All of those deported were ordered removed by a federal immigration judge after being found ineligible for any form of immigration relief.
"Those who think that they can commit crimes in their home countries and hide in the United States are mistaken," said Michael Rozos, field office director for the Office of Detention and Removal in Florida. "The law enforcement community is united globally to ensure that those who have broken the law are brought to justice."

ID Cards for Illegals
La Raza Harasses 73 Year Old
ID cards for illegals… the new San Francisco Treat!
Cross posted from The Conservative Common Man
September 7th, 2007 by Sam Pierce
From the San Francisco Chronicle: (found at The Drudge Report)
"San Francisco Supervisor Tom Ammiano is drafting legislation to create a city identification card for immigrants unable to get traditional ID cards, a move likely to anger advocates of tougher immigration enforcement."
Later in the article we find:
"Ammiano said the impetus for the city cards came from the immigrant community, which asked for his help. Illegal immigrants who are victims or witnesses of crime often do not report the incident because they have no identification and fear deportation. Identification also is needed for many services, such as city health care.
San Francisco already has a sanctuary policy for immigrants, which means no city agency, including the police, will assist the federal government to deport people. So-called sanctuary cities have become a major issue among Republican presidential candidates."
Apparently San Fransicko officials believe the transgendered people have trouble with identification so they too would benefit from these cards. I am not sure where the difficulty for these people stems from… it isn't as if driver's license applications ask what the applicant chooses to wear. I suggest that this is to give the impression that these cards are not just about illegal aliens.
I suggest San Fran would be a great first step in withdrawing federal funds from sanctuary cities. That is unless their plan is to entice illegals to come and get the cards so they can fall into the trap and subsequent deportation that might be waiting for them. Wouldn't it be great if these cities cared for the law and expected the people within its city limits to be there legally?

In events that are largely being ignored by the national media, Kansas City representatives of the racist group the National Council of La Raza (The Race for our English speaking friends) have been threatening to boycott Kansas City and pull their national convention from the city if the current mayor, Mark Funkhouser, does not remove 73 year old Francis Semler from the Kansas City Parks Board. Why the outrage over an elderly female member of a parks board? She happens to be a member of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corp, a neo-neighborhood watch group that seeks to end illegal immigration by watching our southern and northern borders and reporting illegal immigration to the border patrol.
Mayor Funkhouser has vowed to stand behind Ms Semler as long as her personal beliefs on immigration policy do not affect her service to the parks board.
Growing frustrated with the Mayor's refusal to bend to their blackmail La Raza spokesperson and organizer of Sons and Daughters of Immigrants of Greater Kansas City, Jessica Ayala joined 5 other pro-illegal immigration activists and appeared on the doorstep of 73 year old Ms Semler on the morning of September 5th. Startled by the pounding on her door and seeing the large group outside, she did what any elderly woman would do, she called police.
When questioned, the group claimed they were only there to hand deliver a note demanding she resign from her position on the parks board. Police have stated they will increase patrols to the neighborhood.
Their note follows:
Dear Mrs. Semler,
We are writing on behalf of the congregations, community organizations and concerned citizens listed below to respectfully ask you to immediately resign your position as member of the Kansas City Missouri Parks and Recreation Board. As a member of the Minutemen it is clear that you do not embrace or welcome the cultural diversity of all Kansas City residents. The KC metropolitan area should be allowed the opportunity to heal from the difficulties this appointment has caused and your resignation permits this healing process to begin.
Please contact us by August 31st to let us know that you have the best interests of all metropolitan area citizens in mind and that you will immediately resign from the parks board.

World-wide immigration and "the attempted alleviation of 'racism' through affirmative action" increases resentment on all sides. Here's Canada's situation:
Indeed, this situation does exist and it is an indictment against Canada. It is an indictment not of our failure to offer 'suitable employment', but of immigration authorities who fail to assess credentials properly at the point of entry.Canadian immigration under the Liberals has involved preferential treatment to those groups who tend to vote Liberal en masse, as opposed to those who are most suited for employment here. Corruption within the ranks of Immigration Canada is an established fact: in 2004, Diane Serre, a senior manager, and four others were charged for accepting bribes from Arab immigrants.
Canada, like Britain, imports people with dubious qualifications as 'skilled immigrants', who then demand employment that they are not qualified for. (more at Canada Free Press)

Revoke Citizenship of Convicted Terrorists?
What a concept, revoking the citizenship of convicted terrorists? What's the downside? Canada is thinking along these lines, what about doing this in the United States?
Jamal Akkal, a naturalized Canadian citizen of Palestinian origin has been released from an Israeli prison, where he served a four-year sentence after pleading guilty to charges of terrorism. This in itself isn't particularly noteworthy. What is noteworthy though is that Akkal has now returned to Windsor where he plans to take up residence.
According to Israeli intelligence sources, Akkal took up weapons training in 2003 in anticipation of returning to Canada to take action against Jews and visiting Israeli diplomats.
While in opposition, Conservative public safety critic Peter McKay urged the Liberal government of Paul Martin to revoke the citizenship of Fateh Kamel, an Algeria-born Canadian citizen who served time in a French prison, following his conviction of terrorism. Given that the circumstances of Mr. Akkal's case are similar to that of Mr. Kamel, should the Conservative government take action to revoke Akkal's citizenship? After all, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. [snip]
Be that as it may, terrorism is a particularly heinous crime and those convicted of participating or conspiring to participate in terrorist acts should have their citizenship yanked at warp speed. After all, the government of Canada has no problem revoking the citizenship of old German or Ukrainian men who are accused of committing war crimes during World War II, sometimes on the flimsiest evidence. (Canada Free Press)
Also on immigration and illegal aliens: Them's Fighting Words, Blue Collar Muse:
After the furor over the Illegal Alien Amnesty bill died down, I was content to move on to other issues and conversations. I was aware the issue still simmered out there and that flashpoints such as the recent deportation of Elvira Arellano existed, but none seemed serious enough to trigger additional response from me.
The nice folks over at The Virtuous Republic were kind enough to post their response to this report from NewsMax.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon's comments proved a fuel source rich enough to rekindle the flame of outrage in me. Evidently, proponents of illegal immigration are convinced this is a fight they can win. They seem determined to prod the sleeping dog until it gets up and tears their feral cat to pieces once and for all.
Calderon's comment "Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico!" by itself is no more offensive than "You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy!". When you add his statement, "Mexico does not end at its borders!" the meaning of his first statement becomes ominous. Is he suggesting Mexicans are a fifth column here in the US waiting to be activated by Mexico City? Is he saying Mexico's official position is to make her northern borders irrelevant and that he intends to behave as if they do not exist? If he is concerned he is being misunderstood, he is free to issue clarifying statements. Absent corrections, he is either acknowledging we understand him perfectly or he does not care how we take his words. Either option is unacceptable (More)

Calderon protests
… the unilateral measures taken by the U.S. Congress and government that have only persecuted and exacerbated the mistreatment of Mexican undocumented workers
The insensitivity toward those who support the U.S. economy and society has only served as an impetus to reinforce the battle … for their rights.
It is interesting Calderon classifies US actions as "unilateral" since actions necessary for a bi-lateral participation would need to come from Mexico! It is difficult to dismiss the conclusion Mexico has no intention of working with the US to address our concerns with the assault on our sovereignty.
Additionally, the alleged mistreatment of "Mexican undocumented workers" would cease this afternoon if said workers would simply return to Mexico. No Mexicans are being held here against their will. Where is the responsibility of illegal aliens for their plight being factored into the equation? Nowhere as far as I can tell.
The appeal to "the battle … for [the] rights" of illegal aliens is, perhaps the speech's most inflammatory statement. Given the comment is from Mexico's annual State of the Nation address, it is impossible to take it as anything other than representative of Mexican policy and intent. They are going to prosecute the war focusing on the "rights" of their people to do what they want and ignore the "right" of my nation to enforce her laws. This, too, is unacceptable.
I find Calderon's statements fascinating in light of other information he presents. Mexico has produced 618,000 jobs since January and is continuing to fight the drug lords who, practically speaking, rule portions of the country. If Calderon intended to speak to nationalistic pride and activism in the hearts of his countrymen, where was the call to Mexicans living abroad to return and participate in building and freeing their own country? If he believes the presence of Mexican workers in the US serves to "support the US economy and society" why does he not desire those supports from his countrymen for their own country and society?
It seems difficult to escape the conclusion that Calderon and Mexico are not interested in any other solution to the problem of illegal immigration other than permitting unfettered access to the US by any Mexican with the desire and ability to get here. So says Mexican President Calderon. That some here are inclined to object doesn't seem to matter much. And them's fightin' words.
Thinking solutions other than unilateral ones take the opinions of all parties involved into account …

Mexico Does Not End at its Border
President Felipe Calderon, president of a corrupt, third world, poverty ridden Mexico (and yes, I meant to say corrupt, third world, poverty ridden) gave a speech on Sunday that should be reprinted in every paper across the United States. America has more than a problem of illegal immigration on its hands, it has an invasion to deal with that is supported by Mexico City.
If this doesn't make your red American blood boil, then you are truly a liberal, uncaring about the future of our republic. Calderon had this to say:
• "Mexico does not end at its border."
Yes it does, that is why we are building a fence. Or does Mexico have territorial ambitions in the southwest?
• "We strongly protest the unilateral measures taken by the U.S. Congress and government that have only persecuted and exacerbated the mistreatment of Mexican undocumented workers."
Last time I checked, the U.S. was a sovereign nation. Unlike your third world nation, whose laws stem from an authoritarian Spanish code, the U.S. has something called the rule of law. Your people have broken our laws. Applying our laws uniformly to your citizens, who have entered our nation illegally is neither persecution or mistreatment. By the way, is there any apology forthcoming for the fact that your citizens fill our jails and burden our social safety net?
• "The insensitivity toward those who support the U.S. economy and society has only served as an impetus to reinforce the battle… for their rights."
Please don't meddle in our internal affairs. Your citizens, here illegally, actually undermine our laws and our economy. Our corporations break our laws because your citizens exchange their labor for third world wages. Your citizens, here illegally, undermine our culture by setting up separate enclaves that refuse to assimlate. Your citizens, here illegally, undermine our society by overwhelming our schools and hospitals. Your citizens, here illegally, commit a large percentage of our nation's crimes and are filling are jails at an increasing rate.
•"Where there is a Mexican, there is a Mexico."
I can only interpret that statement one way. The migration of your citizens into the U.S. is a purposeful undertaking meant to reestablish Mexican sovereignty in the American Southwest.
To me, this speech by Calderon, is nothing more than declaration that Mexico is challenging American sovereignty in the border region. I have never been a "conspiracy theory" type person and I am not going off the deep end here. But if you read his speech, Calderon is challenging our sovereignty over our own territory.
After reading highlights from his speech, it is imperative that the United States reestablish control over the border. The border must be defined. It must be defended. Illegal aliens from Mexico must no longer find employment in the United States and as many illegal aliens as possible must be urged to return back home to Mexico. Otherwise, someday, we might wake up to actually find out that Mexico really doesn't end at its borders.
Finally, shouldn't the President, or at least the Secretary of State give a formal response to this Mexican assault on our national sovereignty? And if there is no response, shouldn't the American people demand that our leaders make such a response? Maybe it is time to contact our leaders again and ask them if they agree that "Mexico doesn't stop at its borders." Click on the image for contact numbers.
This speech really got underneath my skin. So, please, pass on what Calderon said. Maybe it will actually make some Americans mad. Mad enough to do something about it.
Federal Judge Blocks Use of Social Numbers to Weed Out Illegal Aliens
Hopefully today's ruling by liberal judge Maxine Chesney will be overturned rather quickly. And if there is any doubt about this judge's political leanings, she was appointed by the slickster himself in 1995.
A federal judge in San Francisco on Friday temporarily blocked the U.S. government from starting its planned crackdown against employers who hired undocumented immigrant workers.
U.S. District Judge Maxine M. Chesney issued a temporary restraining order preventing the Social Security Administration from sending so-called no-match letters to companies whose employees' names do not match the Social Security numbers they used when they applied for their jobs.
It also prohibits the Department of Homeland Security from fining companies that don't act on those letters.
"This is a critical and important first step," said Lucas Guttentag, director of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project and one of the lawyers for the plaintiffs. "It means that workers will not be threatened as a result of an improper rule or inaccurate notices that were about to be sent out."
But Homeland Security spokeswoman Laura Keehner said she believed the government strategy would ultimately be implemented .
"We are disappointed by the delay and expect to prevail once the court has the benefit of full briefings and arguments," she said.
The letters were scheduled to be sent Tuesday to about 140,000 employers with at least 10 workers whose names and Social Security numbers don't match. Under the Homeland Security rule, the affected companies would have to resolve any discrepancies within 90 days or face sanctions.
The judge's ruling came two days after a coalition of labor and immigrant rights groups sued Social Security and the Department of Homeland Security.
In its lawsuit, the coalition argued that the new rule would lead to discrimination against documented and U.S. citizen workers and result in unfair firings.
The coalition, which included the AFL-CIO and the American Civil Liberties Union, also argued in the suit that the Social Security database was full of errors. Read the rest of the story.

Mexican Truckers Invade
Another Sexual Assault by an Illegal
Mexican smugglers owe President Bush a big thank you!
From Newsmax:
http://www.newsmax.com/us/mexican_trucks/2007/08/31/29100.html
SAN FRANCISCO — The Bush administration can go ahead with a pilot program to allow as many as 100 Mexican trucking companies to freely haul their cargo anywhere within the U.S. for the next year, a federal appeals court ruled Friday.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied a request made by the Teamsters union, the Sierra Club and the nonprofit Public Citizen to halt the program.
The appeals court ruled the groups have not satisfied the legal requirements to immediately stop what the government is calling a "demonstration project," but can continue to argue their case.
The trucking program is scheduled to begin Thursday.
Canadian trucks are one thing, but allowing 100 Mexican trucking companies free access to America's highways seems like a really bad idea. Potential problems could include:
-How can our government that can't process a a passport for its own citizens going to ensure illegal aliens, weapons, and drugs aren't on these trucks?
-Language barrier
-If a Mexican trucker causes an accident, who pays for it?
-Tickets could easily go unpaid
-What if a trucker doesn't return to Mexico?
-How can our government that can't process a a passport for its own citizens going to ensure illegal aliens, weapons, and drugs aren't on these trucks? (repetition intentional)
-How can any thinking human being be expected to believe that the safety standards and training will be adhered to?
Why does El Presidente Bush think truck driving s a job Americans won't do? I suppose Chertoff is going to ask for more tools if his to be expected to keep track of these trucks. I suppose it is completely out of the question that there might be some hidden areas on these trucks!
The government we elected is not taking our security seriously! We should all use our heads the next time we vote. We should all think about what the candidates stand for. We should NOT cast our votes based on who the media and the elites tell us can win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe we should vote for Duncan Hunter, but I implore you all to know who you are voting for!
For Deportation To Work, It Needs Border Enforcement at The Virtuous Republic
News From I.C.E: Immigration Raids at The Virtuous Republic

For Deportation to Work, it Needs Border Enforcement
My guess is that the Reuter reporter's intention in her article, Deportees use "revolving door" to return to U.S., is to positively portray the pluckiness and determination of the deported illegals who return back to the United States. Of course, I could be wrong. But the one thing that should be taken away from this article is that deportation is nearly meaningless if we don't guard our borders.
When a heavy knock came on the door of her Phoenix home, Mari knew that the immigration police had finally caught up with her. Arrested and held for a month in a U.S. jail, she was sent back to Guatemala on a prison flight.
But four weeks later, after raising a $5,000 smuggling fee, she was back with her family in Arizona.
As U.S. authorities step up deportations of illegal immigrants, a growing number of them, like Mari, are simply turning round and heading back stateside to rejoin families and resume their lives.
"Guatemala is no longer my home. All my roots are here in the country I have lived in since I was 15 years old … I felt I had no option but to try to come back," said Mari, which is not her real name.
The little reported phenomenon of the repeat lawbreakers was highlighted by the high-profile case of Elvira Arellano, the Mexican illegal immigrant deported earlier this month for slipping back into the United States despite a previous removal in 1997.
"I know a lot of people in the same position as Elvira … their whole life is here," said Mari's husband, Samuel, who is also an undocumented immigrant.
"If they throw them out of the country, sooner or later they will be back." Read more….

Right Truth
Cross posted from Bear Creek Ledger
Did you hear about the deaf mute illegal alien? No, this is no joke. A deaf mute illegal alien by the name of Oswaldo Martinez of El Salvador who is charged with raping and killing 16 year old Brittany Binger was found incompetent due to his inability to communicate. So, what did the courts do? Why they sent him to a sign language hospital for the last TWO YEARS!!
Deaf and mute murder suspect prepares for defense
On Monday, Circuit Judge Samuel Powell ordered Martinez transferred to Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail so that he can have more contact with his attorneys, Timothy Clancy and Edward Webb. Powell also appointed a sign-language interpreter to work with Martinez and his attorneys."Western State was tasked with teaching him sign language — they have done that," Williamsburg-James City County Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Nate Green said. "They have given him communication skills. Anybody that knows sign language can communicate with Mr. Martinez."
Martinez is charged with rape, murder, sodomy and robbery in connection with Binger's death. Investigators believe the teen was jumped from behind near the entrance to a mobile home park on Jan. 2, 2005, then raped and killed.
Binger's body was found near an abandoned shed where Martinez had lived. Martinez' DNA was found under the teenager's fingernails, police have said.
If convicted, Martinez could face the death penalty.
Now, don't you feel better knowing this scumbag was able to suck up 2 years worth of sign language training just to go to trial so we can kill him? I wonder how many American citizens were denied this service so this illegal alien rapist murderer could learn sign language?

I am so very glad that "Don't ask, don't tell" has been repealed, and that U.S. soldiers and sailors who happen to be gay no longer have to hide their true selves.
It's a step in the right direction. I expect to see marriage equality in my lifetime - I'd prefer it to be sooner than later!
i'm right there with you, kelly!
It's about time - I can't believe the bigotry that still exists in our country, though - some of the blowback has been horrifying!
As long as you don't find two many adamant opponents - there are some hateful, horrible things online from that sort just now.
Yay! I'm so glad about this. I was just horrified by some of the debate against it. Like you, I am all for marriage equality too, and I hope this is another step in that direction.


A recent study discovered that on a daily basis, many people in Connecticut become distracted while operating a vehicle.
In Connecticut, according to Distraction.gov, drivers are not allowed to use a handheld device as they operate a vehicle and they are also not allowed to text while their vehicle is in motion. Despite these laws and the stiff penalties associated with violating one of these provisions, many drivers in the state continue to become distracted by texting while driving or engaging in other activities behind the wheel.
How prevalent is distracted driving in Connecticut?
In a recent study, commissioned by the Connecticut Department of Transportation, researchers observed drivers in seven Connecticut towns at 35 different locations. As a result, the researchers discovered that at on any given day, 11.1 million instances of distracted driving occur on local roads in the state. This means that approximately 10 percent of all drivers on local roads in Connecticut become distracted while operating a vehicle daily.
Since drivers in Connecticut continue to become distracted by their cellphone or when they perform another activity behind the wheel, many drivers, passengers and pedestrians are injured or killed every day. On a daily basis in the U.S., more than nine people die and more than 1,153 people are injured in collisions involving driver distraction, states the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Additionally, distracted driving activities can be divided into three separate categories. The CDC states that the three primary forms of distracted driving that exist include manual, cognitive and visual distraction.
Those who are involved in a Connecticut car accident caused by a distracted driver may suffer from injuries that require significant medical and rehabilitative care. If you were recently injured in a car accident, turn to an attorney to determine what you can do to protect your legal and financial interests at this time.

Hello Everyone Joni here, sharing this flower card I made using the recent released Sugar Rush with past released Winter Woodland stamp set. I am using both this stamp set a little different than what it's intended to be.
To begin my card, I first stamped the cupcake wrapper image from Sugar Rush stamp set on a fuchsia cardstock with red ink pad. Next, I stamped the wood slice image from Winter Woodland stamp set in dark yellow ink. Then smooshed the green ink pad on the side of the white cardstock, this where I will cut the stem and leaf for the flower card.
Here's just another look of the assembly stage of the card. In this image I cut the leaf and stem. I also cut fussy cut the wood slice for the center of the flower and the cupcake wrapper for the petals.
To assemble the card I die-cut the vellum for the bottom panel, this is larger than the two top panels using the large dotted rectangle die from the Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die set. The other two top panels Kraft and watercolor paper were cut from the smaller dotted rectangle die from the Essentials: Katharine Cutaways. I then, adhered the flower I created added some sequins from Pretty Pink Posh in Watermelon and Sparkling Clear to finish off the card.
The sentiment I used on the middle of the card is from the all-time favorite of mine A Tree for All Seasons stamp set. Here's another look of the card.
I hope you guys enjoyed and have inspired you to look at your stamp sets a different way.
Sweet card and yes, definitely a new way to stretch stamps! That big bloom is simply marvelous!

Jet Washing Case Studies - Four different surface types! Our system works its magic across all four.
Our versatile cleaning system can be easily adapted and adjusted to suit whatever surface needs to be cleaned.
On the timber clad areas, we used SteamPLUS on a very gentle setting to ensure that we did not damage the surface. We have used the system to clean wooden surfaces many times before so knew exactly what settings would work to get the best results. You simply could not achieve the same outcome using high pressure cold water washing because the pressure required to achieve an acceptable level of cleaning would have completely shredded the surface.
On the coping stones, which are made of solid cast cement, we used a powerful hot wash. The cement can easily withstand the heat and pressure and it achieves really excellent results.
A large percentage of the façade has been treated with K Rend, a high quality external coloured silicone render used by builders and developers to create a durable weather-proof building façade. K Rend incorporates silicone water repellents as part of its cement based system, which repels water while still allowing the substrate to breathe. This helps to preserve the look of the render by slowing down algae growth. None the less, over time algae will develop, creating ugly black stains typically under the eaves of the roof and beneath window ledges.
SteamPLUS is ideal for cleaning render. It allows us to finely adjust pressure in order to achieve a gentle but effective clean. We also use a special render wash to enhance the cleaning process and it delivers outstanding results.
