Allen West Called a "Bought Mother F*cker"
Posted by: Javier Manjarres on July 4, 2012
By Javier Manjarres
After finishing his recitation of the Declaration of Independence during the city of Delray Beach's Independence Day festivities, Congressman Allen West was verbally accosted in front of a small group of constituents and media. West was just about to speak with a local TV station when he was interrupted by the lone detractor that seemed to have had one too many Miller Lites.
The individual flipped West the bird, and told him that he was a "bought Mother F*cker." We stopped the guy and asked him why he had to use foul language in front of women and children.
He then proceeding to try to say that conservatism was the root cause of slavery and women's suffrage. Towards the end of the impromptu interview, we discovered that he is a 'Bible Man', citing the Bible and accusing yours truly of not reading the Bible, all while flipping me the bird. This video is priceless!
Conservatism has its basis in going against women's suffrage it took the liberals to push that, it took the Liberals to push the anti-slavery…"-Angry Man with the Miller Lite

Javier, I was listening to the Steve Kane show on 1470 AM and Brian was talking about you reporting on this. I cannot believe how stupid this guy was towards Congressman West and you in front of children! But it's great how you exposed how the LEFT really is. Great job!
Look who's talking!!
What does that mean? Are you defending this moron?
@ Rich Allen West is a hero and a great congressman. But most importantly he is a wonderful human being. A quality, among many I'm sure, Rich, that you lack.
Allen West is a patriot, this man is a pitiful shame, please send him to San Francisco .

thank you for posting this — it shows you are unbiased by showing both sides. I am a friend of Allen West and this man and his language and his ideas are way beyond what is polite for public consumption!
Allen had the integrity not to answer him!

Just another example of liberals spewing hatred and showing their ignorance. I would suggest this man learn his history – and some manners.
I feel sorry for this poor soul, he is so ignorant! I'd gladly trade places (geographically speaking) with him just to get the chance to cast my vote for Lt. Col. Allen West!

What a man to flip off and use that kind of language in front of children.
Poor guy. He was drunk and unable to express his frustrations in a politically correct manner. He is a great example of the average Joe. Someone who is upset with politicians who vote based on the preferences of the biggest money contributors. Allen West is not corrupt, however his vote is influenced by money and his desire to stay in Congress. Allen West is able to get major contributions to his campaign for many reasons, but the big three are the following; he is able speak well, he is for rich people getting richer, and lastly he is black. There are not many black conservatives, so he is highly regarded as a unique treasure.
The guy may be drunk, but he can get sober…..you're stupid and there's no cure for that
I'm always fascinated by people who look at economic freedom and portray it as a desire solely for "rich to get richer."
Freedom-loving people should be happy when other people do well. But the economic liberty we used to enjoy in America wasn't just designed to help the "rich" get richer.There has never..NEVER…been a country in the history of man where so many poor and middle class citizens have been able to raise themselves through their own labor and sacrifice, out of poverty, and into a higher economic status. In most other countries on earth that's almost impossible. In America, it happens every day.
We see liberals decry the fact that the rich sometimes get richer, at the same time they support political candidates who are among those rich, and many of whom spend most of their available time with "the rich." I don't see Obama spending his vacations on the beaches of Southern Alabama, or along the Chicago lakeshore, with middle class Americans. Obama, for all that supposed "disgust" of the rich, seems to manage to spend most of his free time, weather vacationing or fundraising for his near continuous political campaign…surrounded by some of the richest people on earth.
As we watch liberals attempt to portray themselves as supposedly caring about "average Americans," who might best be categorized as "middle class," it's interesting to note that throughout history the socialist movement which is obviously what Obama and the Left are trying to force on America, has always…without fail…destroyed the middle class of every country that has adopted that repeatedly failed ideology.
It is the rich and upper middle class of America who create the vast majority of private sector jobs. In doing so they are giving millions of Americans the opportunity to gain skills, learn business lessons, enhance their resumes, and become more valuable to future employers. It is the upper middle class and rich who turn good ideas into businesses and inventions that enhance the standard of living for Americans, and in many cases for people all over the world.
Your regurgitation of "the American Dream" may have rang true decades ago but not today. The banks and corporations have been unleashed upon the poor and middle class leaving very little opportunity for an average Joe to move up. The good paying respectable "middle class" jobs have been shipped overseas. Yes there still is opportunity here in America, but it is few and far between. As the "bought" politicians continue to represent the military/industrial banking establishment and not the people, our debt continues to rise to levels that cannot ever be repaid. I supported Mr. West wholeheartedly and believed his tough guy/Constitutional conservative rhetoric. Sadly, his voting record has been straight line establishment. This protester has more guts than most Americans. He may not have articulated well but he is angry at the political class for not representing him/the people. In bolder times, Mr. West and most other Pols would have been tarred and feathered at minimum.
His episode was about booze, not bravery. It was about impulse, not protest. No need to put words in his mouth.
People don't just have an "episode" for no reason. He is expressing the sentiment of most of the country. Have you checked the approval ratings for Congress lately? There is a great amount of anger and frustration for the elected class and with good reason. Maybe it took an extra beer or two for this guy to allow this guy to say what he wanted to say but if you feel like you are being represented and your interests are being protected, God bless you. Not me.
Nobody shipps American jobs overseas unless the government makes it so costly to keep those jobs that companies move the jobs just to keep afloat. Employers would much rather be able to have employees near the center of economic activity. But since liberalism has made America so unfriendly to job creation employers are forced to move jobs overseas in order to compete with countries where it's easier and cheaper to maintain a job.
Since the second year of the Obama Administration America has had the highest taxes on business of any nation on earth. And the Democrats continue to make it more expensive and more difficult to employ Americans.
The comping implementation of ObamaCare will push a massive tax on employers who will be forced to either spend more to provide an "acceptable" level of healthcare coverage for employees, or shoulder the tax penalty of not doing so. That cost starts at $2,000 per employee in the first year, and gets more expensive over time.
To implement that regulation the government has already written more than 13,000 pages of new regulations for business. Businesses have to hire experts to read and interpret these new regulations. That costs money…money we can't spend to hire and train new employees.
The Democrats have argued for years that we should do away with the "Bush Tax Cuts." Now, they have their way. Those tax cuts expire on Dec 31 of this year. As a result those business owners will face a far higher income tax rate as of Jan 1, 2013. This leaves employers with less money to continue employing American workers, or to create new jobs in America. AND, those poor employees at the lower end of the middle class wage scale will get with the biggest percentage tax increase of any American group. This will drastically lower the take-home pay for most lower middle class Americans, and force them to either demand higher pay that employers are less able to afford to pay, or do with a lower after-tax income.
This administration is deliberatly and knowingly killing American jobs and destroying the middle class. More than 6.5Million American families have fallen out of the middle class and into poverty since Obama's "stimulus" plan was passed into law, and more black families have been pushed out of the middle class and into poverty in the past four years than in any previous 50-year period in US history.
The more liberalism and liberal ideals are accepted in America the worse our situation will get.
Raven you rock
http://[email protected] Paul
So are you suggesting that Obama admin is doing it right? In one of your responses to RocketRyder you imply that congress is to blame for everything that is wrong or at least thats what I take from it. Correct me if I'm wrong. Not looking to argue about who has screwed our country because I already know the answer to that….The millions of people that re-elected Obama
Mr. Raven, you have obviously missed out on economics.
Rich/wealthy Americans ARE NOT the "job creators".
The job creators are you and I. Yes, when we spend money, WE create jobs by creating a greater demand for goods and services.
Businesses respond to this greater demand by expanding, either hiring more people or procuring more products which are created by people.
You all have fallen for this myth that the wealthiest Americans just sit around and decide that conditions are now favorable, so we'll create some jobs. Economics 101 teaches you otherwise. Wages for hard working middle class Americans have been stagnant for years which has diminished to pool of disposable income. This is why the economy is slow.
The wealthy, through their propaganda outlets, Faux News, Rush and the others, have you all convinced that to put more Americans back to work, YOU have to work to help THEM become wealthier so they'll kindly create jobs for you!!
It doesn't work that way and NEVER will.-
Rich, Please tell me the poor person you work for. What a dolt!They are job creators because they make a product. Going by your logic, workers make the product out of coconuts like the professor. It takes large capital to start a large company that hires large amounts of people. Why don't you start a company? It sounds real easy!
Leslie, Leslie, Leslie, where were you in economics?
You must have missed a lot. Most businesses start out small, in garages, basements, even at the kitchen table.
What you apparently have no ability to grasp is that no matter what, if you and I and the rest of the consumers don't have a good income, we, you and I, don't buy so the businesses don't add employees.
When middle class, hard working American salaries begin to rise again, we will create more demand for goods and services and businesses will respond by hiring more employees.
Do you have this tea party dream that these wealthy Americans just sit around and wait for some kind of favorable situation to hire help? Wrong, when there exists and opportunity to make more money, they will seize it by hiring more employees to keep up with demand.
This is so simple and you guys don't get it.
Also, a basic tenet of business is to use someone else's money to start a business. That is what Willard did. He was a venture capitalist in that if he and his partners believed a business was worthy, they raised and lent capital to that business.
This is not to be confused with when his firm engaged in leveraged buyouts which are entirely different in that the sole purpose of these is to make money for the purchasing firm and its' investors at any and all costs including the screwing of employees.
Do you get the picture?
Rich get a life
I have a fine one, how about you?
What's wrong?
Can't you grasp the simple concept I put forth in my post?
It's really simple and I know it doesn't jive with what the wealthy Americans want you to believe, but it is true.
Yes, to all of the above, and they also are major contributors to charities, hospitals, parks, etc. that all of us not so rich enjoy. But the entitlement crowd has no idea where so much of that comes from. When they go in the hospital through the emergency room having never acquired insurance through employment or sacrifice they never look up and see the rooms and wings of hospital services donated for their and everyone else's behalf. I personally have always made a sacrifice to have health insurance instead of illegal drugs, alcohol abuse,cigarette smoking and other unhealthy lifestyle choices. Now I have Medicare which I EARNED by paying into the system, and I must assume it will be available to me as needed, but there's no longer a guarantee, is there? The Gimme Society are not only ruining it for people like me, they are also too stupid to realize it might run out for them too.
Mr. Double C, the wealthy donate to various causes because their accountants tell them to for the tax write off. They don't do it out of the goodness of their hearts. This is how they shelter money and get the free advertising of having their name on a hospital wing, school library, park or whatever.
I simply cannot believe how people that I assume are hard working, middle class Americans are so willing to take up the causes of the wealthiest among us who have already bought up most of the government and are now trying to buy the rest.
Don't you get it?-
That would be Ms. DoubleC to you, Rich. Obviously you bought Kool-Aid with your Food Stamps and drank it. Unions and 60's Liberal Hippies re-distributing the wealth is what's ruined this country. I hope you never need one of those tax write-offs for yourself or your family. Hospital wings and parks are not given just for name recognition. I hope you don't really believe that passing out more welfare generates jobs, yes I read between the lines. Give it up…

Actually, the Republican Party proposed ending slavery, ending women's suffrage, and ending racial inequality.
Unfortunately, Miller Lite is getting aligned with someone who can only spout talking points, not read history.
Women's suffrage link: http://www.nfrw.org/republicans/women/suffrage.htm
Another PRODUCT of Progressive Teachers and Professors …aka, an Educated Illiterate. We really need to turn their hatred and wrath on to the evil educators who instilled their revisionist history and downright out stupidity.
American literacy tests are at an all time LOW – English, Math, Science, Reading, Writing. WHY? Unions and Progressive Educators.
Of course, blame unionized workers because you're jealous of their healthcare and retirement benefits.
Literacy is at an all time low because too much education money is wasted on programs for non-English speakers.
Parents must also take the blame, some of them at least, for not creating an environment in the home that stresses the importance of education.-
Why shouldn't people be pissed at public employee unionized educators when:
1) They are paying for that public employee retirement and healthcare, way above and beyond what they themselves can reasonably obtain from their own employers.
2) They are subject to a non-stop propaganda campaign in which they are told that teachers can never be paid enough, that they need to suck it up and pay more taxes every year to keep the system going, when in truth the money is just going to bloated bureaucracy, palatial central office buildings and exorbitant pay/perks for school administrators who never set foot in a classroom.
3) The teachers themselves are forced to be part of the union, forced to pay union dues and forced to live by the standard of the lowest common denominator with no consideration to merit or teaching ability.
Furthermore, any time that the citizenry pushes back when more is demanded, the teachers become political hostages and drastic cuts are threatened while none of the overpaid non-teaching bureaucrats ever face the prospect of layoffs, pay cuts or anything else that the people who pay for their existences have to contend with.
That's why you're foolishly wrong, and it isn't "jealousy". It's righteous anger at being treated like chattel and serfs by a bunch of self-entitled neo-feudalists who have convinced themselves that reality should cease to exist at the entrance to the district office building.
Typical hit and run wussy liberal.
And, of course, typical ignorant, misinformed teabagger.

Pitiful–or–absorbed–or both. Not an intellectual. Not qualified to participate in debate–but he already knew that.
Evidently Mr. West knew it too because he gets a lot of this thrown his way–Mr. West gets a lot of practice at deflecting criticism–because Mr. West has chosen to be a lightning rod, for better or worse, and that takes character and commitment.

@ Jeff: THANX. The "Shark Tank" is such a joke. Javier Manjarres is a minnow, an Andrew Breitbart/Drudge wannabe, who loves engaging and challenging ordinary folks who might have a sincere, different opinion. Javier has his snarky, inflamatory talking points down pat, knows when to shovel more dung on the flames. He knows better, but also knows that West's followers slobber over his blog/videos, and he makes his living with lies, pandering to the FOX lemmings and right wing talking heads. BTW, where was Allen West's goon squad? at age 75, I was thrown out of a public Allen West Town Hall meeting, never uttered a word. Oh yes, an honorable man, that Allen West. Although a military tribunal found Col. West guilty of three counts of aggravated assault and thought that his actions merited a court martial, his admission of guilt and his long record in the Army allowed him to return home to retire with a mere $5,000 fine. HA… the emperor has no clothes, Javier. And thinking people know it.
I'm certain you were removed without uttering a word! They just didn't like the way your hair was combed. Please, let's be honest.

Interesting comments considering that it was the Republicans who not only ended slavery, but they did it using the conservative Christian philosphy that all men are created equal in the eyes of God, which was the foundation for Lincoln's anti-slavery argument in the Lincol/Douglas debates. I wonder where those slaves would be today if today's liberal dogma about "separation of Church and state" had been the order of the day in the early 1800s.
Also, should any of the visitors to this web site happen to know this young "man," you might want to remind him it was the Democrats who…
-Fought to save slavery
-Created segreation
-Created the Jim Crow laws
-Created "separte but equal"
-Created and manned the Ku Klux Klan
-Voted to elected the only sitting member of Congress to take office as an active member of the Klan (Byrd)
-Attempted to keep blacks out of state colleges
-Fought to prevent the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
-Sent paid staffers to travel to a debate where they threw Oreos at Michael Steele (a black Republican)
-Beat up Kenneth Gladney for daring to express a political opinion not provided to him by the Democrats
-Portrayed Secretary Condi Rice as a "monkey" in published cartoons
-Intentionally released Allen West's personal financial records to the public in an effort to intimidate himWhat do all these events have in common? One word…INTIMIDATION!
In the "Democrat mind," blacks have never been enough of a "free man" to be allowed to enjoy liberty to the point of being able to express their own opinion. In America, blacks quickly learn that they parrot what the Democrat "massa" tells them to say, of they will be attacked personally and racially, and if possible, destroyed.
The Democrats have been using the tactic of intimidation to frighten blacks away from being exercising their hard-won liberties for centuries. Only the Democrats' techniques have changed.

At least this guy had the Miller Lite defense. To my knowledge Allen West was not drinking when he declared those like me, but elected to office "Communists"
Kudos to Col. West, then. If the shoe fits….
Do you believe that you are naturally entitled to the fruits of other people's labor, and actively push for a government that brings the state into every aspect of someone's life? Do you believe that a centrally planned, government controlled economy is the only way to make things "fair"? Maybe you aren't a Communist by the commonly understood textbook definitions, but you are a Statist and that's the common thread that runs across Communism, Marxism, Socialism, Maoism and the rest of the rotten barrel. If so, the "Communist" label is really just splitting hairs.

#1: Someone should have had him immediately arrested for public consumption of alchohol. It's on tape. The nonsense has to stop, the debt has to be paid for one's actions.
#2: You C-A-N fix stupid… as a matter of fact, if we don't put our entire heart and soul into fixing "stupid", this constant 'war' among those who live life under the umbrella of freedom which has been gifted to us time and time again (by people willing to lay down their lives), will in fact vanish. It is our mandate to fix "stupid"; and that can only be done by being very intelligent and committing to talking to "stupid" people all the time. Think of them as your wayward children. If in the end, they are not 'fixable' then they are mentally ill. We only need maintain this gift Columbia; but at this time we are failing horribly… we are not a nation of Americans any longer (we've been going downhill since about 1962), we are a country of disjointed people, rushing to and fro in trying to stop the myriad of leaks in the dam.
#3: Martin Luther King, Jr. was indeed a Republican; and Ronald Reagan started off as a Democrat (but he grew to be a full-fledged man).
#4: I am sick to death of this fake 'race card' play. First of all, there are almost no actual racists (this implies you hate a person dependant on their GENETIC CODE; something you can't even see, taste, touch, or smell). It is one's ETHNICITY (large groups of people according to their acts or traits) that causes clashes, not the color of their skin. It is the very 'ethnicity' of our children being soured by outside influences that must change. Tend to your families; instruct them, mold them, bind them against the path of iniquity that is 50% of our society today. The true strength of any nation on Earth can be instantly judged; not by its military might or personal wealth, but rather the strength of the family unit, as that is the building block of all to come.
#5: Make judgements, judge others, and judge yourselves… openly and in pure truth. If you don't, you will always sit on the fence in indecision and sloth; others will strip you of your freedom and run your life. Intellect and morality must be bound together for the greatest strength, a position that will stand the test, a cause that makes the effort worthwhile. Man will never fully relish in the bounty of his table (and find happiness) unless he experiences the blisters of the field (in knowing the effort of his labor).
#6 We can verbally excoriate the bastards, but if we don't alter the picture through actions and deeds, then we have no one to blame but ourselves.
GO WEST! FIGHT! EXPOSE! CONQUER! REJOICE! Live the life that was meant to be!
Its really disconcerting to see the way Americans speak in front of children like that, if he'd been in the UK and said "go F yourself" he'd be lying in hospital. Well done reporter for keeping his cool.

The guy's thoughts are so scattered, he had no point to make except to be confrontational. I'll bet he was hoping Rep. West would have smacked him down, then he could sue for injuries.
I think he was looking for attention. If he keeps this up, he's going to get attention, the kind that'll require hospitalization. An action begets a reaction.
Why I Vote Democrat…..
I vote Democrat because I believe in enforcing the laws of the US, unless I am running for re-election and need the votes of gays, illegal immigrants, and Eric Holder.
I vote Democrat because of my heroes like Bill Clinton who, while setting a great example for the children of this country, enabled President Bush to be able to go after Osama Bin Laden so Noblame-a could claim credit for it.
I vote Democrat because I think it's better to pay billions of dollars to people who hate us rather than drill our own oil (until we develop ALGAE as a fuel source), because it might upset some endangered beetle or gopher.
I vote Democrat because, even though we had as much to do with the killing of Bin Laden as we did Hitler's suicide and Saddam Hussein's hanging, we'll gladly take credit for all.
I vote Democrat because I believe it is okay if liberal judges rewrite the Constitution to suit some fringe kooks, who would otherwise never get their agenda past the voters.
I vote Democrat because I believe that corporate America should not be allowed to make profits for themselves or their shareholders. They should lose money and give it to the federal government for redistribution to the GSA.
I vote Democrat because I'm not concerned about the rights of millions of babies being aborted each year so long as we make it easy for irresponsible couples to have sex, keep all of the people who WANT to die from dying, protect gays from haircuts and staying single, and stop dogs from riding on cars, but eat them instead. My solution to abortion and birth control is Gay Marriage.
I vote Democrat because I believe people who can't tell us if it will rain on Friday, can tell us the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don't start driving a Chevy Volt (I can't drive a Cruze because Government Motors recalled them all for Union deficiencies).
I vote Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know my local unproductive, unreactive union police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.
I vote Democrat because Freedom of Speech is not as important as preventing people from being offended. I'm only for "Free Speech" when I'm making uninformed comments, but as soon as I'm confronted with the facts, or asked to produce some, I deny that same freedom to others, and run the other way.
I love, love, love your list of why you vote Democrat, I'm sure it's incomplete and you can continue adding to it. I just wish I could copy it and keep it handy for future reference.
This is the intellectual capability of the typical Obama supporter. Probably thinks healthcare is going to be better and free.

He was WRONG about the SLAVES….. Geesss… what the histroy teacher will not tell you….
July 1862, the Republican-controlled 37th Congress enacted, despite unanimous Democrat opposition, the second Confiscation Act.
This law, written by Senator Lyman Trumbull (R-IL), declared that all slaves held by Confederate rebels "shall be forever free."
President Abraham Lincoln (R-IL) would cite this law in the provisional Emancipation Proclamation two months later.
Who here is stupid enough to believe that ANY politician, of either party, is going to deem your opinions and values more important than those of the corporate donors/bribers who fill their campaign coffers with the thousands of dollars necessary to keep their cushy jobs with health and retirement benefits far better than those you would like to take away from teachers, law enforcement and public safety professionals.

It's really amazing how National Socialists have turned history completely upside down and inside out. Not to mention all the other things they've turned upside down. The very meaning of Liberty and Freedom has been lost.

I don't believe you.
YOU should have been smart enough to join a union so you too could enjoy high quality health care and a safe, secure pension.None of you will address why there is absolutely NO anger towards the politicians who have an even BETTER pension and health care package.
How much do you want to bet the your little pet, Rep. West will joyfully double dip both his military and congressional retirements when he retires that YOU AND I will pay for.
Let's hear some righteous anger about this or is that not part of the teabag agenda? -

Excuse me there, Trail Boss, but the "National Socialists" was the Nazi Party and something tells me that no one in their right mind could ever consider Adolph Hitler to be either progressive or liberal.
I love how libs portray themselves as such a tolerant bunch!! But the minute they disagree with something or someone, they resort to this sort of thing. I think it's a mental disorder, I really do.

I've been a gluing maniac the past few days. put together my first plate flowers and my first totem. I plan on hanging my plate flowers on my trees - so need to figure out how I'm going to do that. Someone posted about using a piece of chain. The flowers aren't crooked like they look in the photos - it's that I didn't take the photos straight on! |

Love love the totem, especially the blue balls inside! Be careful if you leave it outside in freezing weather because water can collect in the plate. Too lovely to have them break! |
Beautiful! I love the contrast with the peach colored plate with black & white otherwise. Makes it pop! Your totem is fabulous, love those balls & the blue with clear glass. Needs protected area on covered porch in summer so plates don't collect water from rain or sprinklers. TFS Jan |

Lovely totem! :) I prefer the plates where you've used the black and white plates as they 'pop' more than the others, in my opinion. Great work! :) |

Nice job, I too will warn that putting your plates right side up on the totem will catch water and can be a problem. If there's a tiny spot in the caulk that didn't seal well and the plate catches water it can cause water vapor and droplets to form in the globe that sets in that plate, in your totem that would be the globe above the blue decorated plate. Want to guess how I know this? lol Yes indeed I have one that happened to. You can always scrape out the silicone caulk and redo it. All mistakes are pretty easily fixable and are definitely a learning experience. From that spot of leaky caulk I learned to use plenty of caulk then wet my finger and run it along the seal edge to smooth out the caulk and assure it is well sealed, also wipes away the extra caulk easily. I keep a little cup of water on my table and a roll on paper towels just for that. I actually learned the wet finger trick watching the Holmes on homes show, he does that when he does caulking. |

You've been busy! Lots of nice plate flowers...I especially like the black and white checked ones. Nice totem too! |
Thanks for the nice complements. I also love the black and white ones. I'll go so far as to admit that the biggest motivation for me to buy new dishes was the ability to use these black and white dishes for plate flowers. Well, also the fact that the biggest plates don't fit in my dishwasher. I made 4 with the orange middle plates. I'm on the look out for more yellow or orange or red that size so I can use up the rest of my service. Thanks for the input on the totem. Ravencajun - thanks for the detailed info about sealing the glass (maybe I should have asked for advice before I glued it together?). I have a metal outdoor candle holder that I'm going to cement into the ground, and I have a clear glass jar that will be attached to the bottom of the totem that slides perfectly into the candle holder. So the totem will be out in the whimsy garden, elevated about 2-3 feet. I will add a second layer of glue to the top and middle layer to make sure they are fully sealed. |

Wow! Very nice for your 1st plates & totem ...I also love the idea of the blue balls added to the crystal totem! You chose some very pretty dishes for your plate flowers & they will sure add color to your gardens ... as far as hanging in a tree, I don't know how that is done ...but lots of folks on here use 'spoons' glued to the back of the plates as hangers. TFS! Jeanne S. |
They are all very pretty. |

what is the best glue for the totems? Very pretty |
Love that totem, pixie_lou!! Where ever did you find those precious little balls on the inside?? Great idea!! Good job on your plates too!! Cool! I hope you continue to create and have fun!! Thanks for sharing!! |

The menu for tomorrow's party:
cold fried chicken
veggie kabobs with some sort of veggie protein (tofu or seitan or tempeh)
pulled pork and homemade rolls for sandwiches
corn on the cob
potato salad
macaroni salad
iced tea (sweet and un)
peach cobbler
homemade ice cream
I'm planning to make the chicken, salads, lemonade, and ice cream today
(to be frozen tomorrow). Here are the ice creams I plan to make:
Plain vanilla;
Green tea (just a plain vanilla recipe with some matcha powder thrown
in, but not as much matcha as last time; that stuff was STRONG);
and then these two:

Peach Ice Cream, adapted from Cuisine at Home (thanks Lisa for my
birthday present!)
Makes 5 cups
2 cups fresh peaches, skinned, pitted and diced
1/4 sugar
1 tsp. lemon juice
4 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, split in half or 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Macerate the peaches with the lemon juice in a saucepan with the lemon
juice and sugar for about 10 minutes or until syrupy. Simmer over medium
heat until the peaches are soft for about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until thick and pale. In the
meantime, heat the milk, cream and vanilla bean until steam rises.
Gradually add the hot cream to the egg yolks, whisking constantly to
prevent them from scrambling. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan
and cook over medium heat until the cream coats the back of a spoon, 5
to 8 minutes.
Strain the cream and let cool completely. Stir in the peaches. At that
point I used an hand-held mixer to puree some of the peaches and leave
chunks into the base. Churn the mixture in an ice cream maer according
to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a container and freeze until
From http://www.joyofbaking.com/ChocolateIceCream.html
Chocolate ice cream
2 cups (480 ml) half-and-half
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons (50 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 vanilla bean or 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 ounces (55 grams) semisweet chocolate, chopped
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated white sugar
Note: Half and Half cream is a mixture of cream and whole milk and
contains 10 ½ - 12% butterfat.
In a small saucepan gradually whisk together the half and half and the
cocoa powder until it is a smooth paste. Place over medium-high heat
and bring the half-and-half cocoa mixture and the vanilla bean (if
using) to the scalding point (the milk begins to foam up). Remove from
heat, take out the vanilla bean and scrape the seeds from the bean with
the back of a knife, and mix the seeds back into the half-and-half. Add
the chopped chocolate and stir until the chocolate has completely melted
and is smooth.
Meanwhile in a stainless steel bowl beat the egg yolks and sugar until
light and fluffy (about two minutes). You can do this with a wire whisk
or I like to use a hand mixer. Gradually pour the scalding half-and-half
mixture into the whipped egg yolk mixture, making sure you keep whisking
constantly so the eggs don't curdle. If any lumps do form, strain the
mixture first before heating.
Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and, stirring
constantly with a wooden spoon, cook until the custard thickens enough
that it coats the back of a spoon (170 degrees F) (77 degrees C). The
term 'coat a spoon' is a technique used mainly as a way to test when an
egg-based custard or sauce is done. A spoon, usually wooden, is placed
in the custard and, when the spoon is raised, the film of custard on the
back of the spoon will stay in place even when you draw a line with your
finger through the middle of the custard.
Immediately remove the custard from the heat and continue to stir the
custard for a few minutes so it does not overcook. At this point stir in
the vanilla extract, if using. Cover and let cool to room temperature
and then refrigerate the custard until it is completely cold (several
hours but preferably overnight).
Transfer the cold custard to the container of your ice cream machine and
process according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once made,
transfer the ice cream to a chilled container and store in the freezer.
If the ice cream becomes too hard place in the refrigerator for about 30
minutes before serving so it can soften.

The Federal Government introduced into Parliament on 22 June 2006 the Independent Contractors Bill 2006 (IC Bill), together with consequential amendments to the Workplace Relations Act in the Workplace Relations Legislation Amendment (Independent Contractors) Bill 2006 (WRA Bill).
The proposed legislation is a further step towards establishing a single national workplace relations system and has significant implications for the use of independent contractor arrangements. The key changes are the:
- introduction of a single national scheme for the review of independent contractor arrangements on grounds of "unfairness" which will provide a forum for contractors to challenge the terms of their engagement, including termination entitlements
- removal of protections for certain independent contractors who are deemed employees under State legislation, and
- penalties for parties who enter into "sham" independent contractor arrangements ie, engaging a person as a contractor when legally they should be characterised as an employee.
Significantly, the proposed legislation does not affect liabilities and obligations which may arise under superannuation, payroll tax and workers compensation legislation which impose employment related liabilities and obligations for some independent contractors.
Purpose of the legislation
The stated purpose of IC Bill is to recognise and protect the unique position of independent contractors in the Australian labour market.
The principal objects of the IC Bill are:
- to protect the freedom of independent contractors to enter into services contracts
- to recognise independent contracting as a legitimate form of work arrangement that is primarily commercial, and
- to prevent interference with the terms of genuine independent contracting arrangements.
The Government's policy rationale is that genuine independent contactor arrangements should be governed by principles of commercial and contract law, not by industrial and employment law. The IC Bill seeks to achieve this outcome by overriding various State employment and industrial laws that currently impact upon independent contractor arrangements.
Who the IC Bill applies to
The IC Bill applies to "services contracts". A services contract is a contract for services to which an independent contractor is a party and relates to the performance of work by the independent contractor.
The IC Bill does not provide a definition of independent contractor. Accordingly, the term has its normal common law meaning. The common law test to distinguish between employees and independent contractors has proved difficult to apply in practice to many work arrangements. The IC Bill does not change this so the difficulties encountered when attempting to apply this test will continue.
The IC Bill does not apply to all independent contractors due to constitutional limitations. A services contract is only subject to the Bill if it has a "requisite constitutional connection". This requires:
- at least one party of the services contract to be either a:
i) constitutional corporation ii) commonwealth authority, or iii) body corporate incorporated in a Territory, or |
- the services contract to have a sufficient connection to a Territory which requires one of the following conditions to be satisfied:
i) the work under the services contract is wholly or principally to be performed in a Territory in Australia ii) the services contract was entered into in a Territory in Australia, or iii) at least one party to the services contract is a natural person who is resident in, or body corporate that has its principal place of business in, a Territory in Australia. |
What the IC Bill does
The key implications of the IC Bill are:
- the abolition of State industrial legislation which deems independent contractors to be employees in certain circumstances or provide employee related entitlements to independent contactors. This is subject to:
i) a three year transitional period which retains the protection of State legislation for existing contractors, and ii) the preservation of existing protections for outworkers and owner drivers, |
- implementing a single national system for the review of independent contractor arrangements on grounds of unfairness and abolishing the existing State unfair contract jurisdictions (such as those that exist in New South Wales and Queensland), and
- providing specific protection for outworkers in the textile, clothing and footwear (TCF) manufacturing industry.
The IC Bill is supplemented by the WRA Bill which imposes penalties for certain conduct including, most significantly, employers entering into "sham" independent contractor arrangements.
Exclusion of State laws
The IC Bill overrides State industrial and employment laws that provide employment related entitlements to independent contractors. The IC Bill overrides any State laws that:
- deem a party to a services contract to be an employer or employee. Legislative deeming provisions exist in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania. These provisions typically operate to deem certain types of "vulnerable" contractors performing particular types of work to be employees. For instance, in New South Wales, individuals performing work as cleaners, bread and milk vendors, carpenters, joiners or bricklayers (among others) are deemed to be employees for the purposes of employment and industrial entitlements
- confer or impose rights, entitlements, obligations or liabilities on a party to a services contract in relation to "workplace relations matters" - these include matters such as remuneration, allowances, leave entitlements, hours of work, termination of contracts, disputes or industrial action, and
- provide a court with an ability to vary or avoid a services contract on the grounds of "unfairness" (ie, State unfair contracts provisions).
The situation is complicated by transitional arrangements which provide the relevant State laws (other than unfair contract laws) are not overridden immediately upon commencement of the IC Bill. The State laws continue to apply to existing contracts (including a new contract which is a "continuation of an existing contract" within the meaning of the IC Bill) for a period of 3 years after commencement of the Bill. In the meantime, parties are provided with an ability to enter into a "reform opt-in agreement" which will result in the State laws ceasing to apply immediately from the date on which such an agreement takes effect.
The cessation of these deeming provisions either due to expiration of the 3 year transitional period or through the operation of an opt-in agreement will have significant implications for businesses who currently engage independent contractors deemed to be employees under the State legislation and for the terms of engagement of these workers. For instance, accrued leave entitlements of these "deemed employees" will become payable upon them ceasing to be a deemed employee.
The IC Bill also expressly preserves the operation of State laws protecting:
- outworkers, and
- owner drivers and contract carriers or any instruments (for instance, collective contract of carriage determinations) made under these laws namely:
i) the provisions of the NSW Industrial Relations Act that apply to drivers of public vehicles and contract carriers, and ii) the Owner Drivers and Forestry Contractors Act 2005 in Victoria. |
The preservation of these laws relating to owner drivers is a sensitive political issue. The Government has indicated that it is preserving these provisions for the moment given the "special circumstances of owner drivers". However, the Minister has stated that it is not the Government's intention to replicate these State provisions over time and we expect to see further change in this area. The Transport Workers Union can be expected to strongly oppose changes in this area.
Significantly, the IC Bill does not override other legislation extending the common law meaning of employee to apply to certain independent contractors. This includes superannuation legislation and State payroll tax and workers' compensation legislation. Accordingly, the difficulties encountered in applying this legislation to independent contractors and determining whether superannuation, pay-roll tax and workers' compensation premiums need to be paid will continue to be a compliance issue for business.
A National unfair contracts regime
The Bill overrides State unfair contract provisions and introduces a new national unfair contracts regime. It also repeals the existing unfair contract provisions in the Workplace Relations Act which have had limited operation in practice.
The proposed national contract review provisions enable a party to a services contract to apply to the Federal Magistrates Court or the Federal Court for a review of their services contract on the ground that the contract is "unfair" or "harsh" and provide a remedy for this.
The Government has made it clear that these independent contractor provisions should not be seen as providing a remedy for "the big end of town" or for commercial arrangements (the New South Wales unfair contract provisions have been used in this way in the past). An incorporated independent contractor may only apply for review of a contract where the work the contract relates to is wholly or mainly performed by a director of the company or a family member of the director. The IC Bill also allows a financial cap to be imposed on unfair contract claims by regulation, if a need for this is demonstrated.
The Government has stated that the Federal unfair contracts regime is intended to have a narrower operation than the current systems in New South Wales and Queensland. This is reflected in the IC Bill which specifies the criteria that the courts will take into account when determining unfairness which include:
- the relative bargaining strength of the party to the contract
- whether unfair tactics or undue influence/pressure was applied
- whether total remuneration is less than that provided to an employee performing similar work (although a court must have regard to independent contractor rates in a particular industry), and
- other matters relevant to deciding harshness or unfairness.
If a court is of the opinion that the contract is unfair it may set aside or vary part or all of the contract. The orders made should be limited to returning the parties to as close as possible to the position that would have existed had the unfairness identified by the court not existed. The court also has the power to make interim orders so as to preserve the position of a party to a services contract and also grant injunctive relief.
Costs will only be awarded in limited circumstances, namely, where proceedings are vexatious or unreasonable or where a party unreasonably causes another party to incur loss.
Contract outworkers in the textile clothing and footwear industry
In recognition of the vulnerability of outworkers in the TCF industry, the IC Bill provides for a default minimum rate of pay for contractor TCF outworkers which would operate where an outworker is not guaranteed a minimum rate of pay under State and Territory law.
Records must be kept in respect of TCF outworkers. Workplace inspectors are provided with right of entry powers to inspect compliance.
Prohibitions on certain conduct in relation to independent contractors
The WRA Bill introduces various prohibitions on certain conduct relating to contractors into the Workplace Relations Act.
The amendments make it an offence to:
- misrepresent a person to be an independent contractor when they are an employee at common law (ie, entering into a sham arrangement). The offence is not committed where the employer reasonably believes the person to be independent contractor
- dismiss an individual so the employer can engage the individual as an independent contractor. This offence has a reverse onus of proof which requires an employer to show the dismissal was not for this reason, and
- make a false statement to persuade a person to become an independent contractor.
The maximum penalties that apply to these offences are $6,000 for an individual and $33,000 for a body corporate.
Timing of the legislation
The Government has referred the IC Bill to a fast track Senate inquiry that will report on 25 August 2006. With the Government holding the balance of power in both houses, the legislation is expected to be passed shortly after this date.
We will keep readers informed of developments in this regard.

Keeping kids safe
Local efforts keep missing child totals low, even as state numbers climb
Imagine the unimaginable: Your child, expected home hours ago has not yet arrived. No phone call, no text message, no word from friends – absolutely nothing. Panic starts to flood over as you realize your child could be in danger or missing. Although this is an issue a lot of parents may not think about, it hits close to home in Virginia, which reports more cases of missing children annually than every state but one (despite being the 12th most populous state in the country). More than 340 children were reported missing just last year in Virginia. During the past two years in Henrico, 24 children have been reported as missing, with the majority of them between the ages of 14-17. Many of these children may be deemed runaways because parents or guardians may lack the physical evidence that would suggest something else. In the recent Henrico cases, most of the missing children did run away, according to Henrico Police Detective Joe Mitchell. "They're out with a friend, running late, they're not coming home, etc., and then the police get called," Mitchell said. "Often times the child comes home an hour after the officer leaves, though there are some chronic cases. But it's highly unusual to get a child that is gone under suspicious circumstances." A child is considered missing when, from the caretaker's perspective, the child experienced a qualifying episode in which his or her whereabouts were unknown to the primary caretaker, according to Virginia state law. The caretaker must have been alarmed for at least an hour and must have tried to locate the child. After a child is reported missing, the officer enters his or her name into a clearinghouse for missing children that can be accessed by police and other agencies throughout the country. Locally, if the child attends Henrico County Public Schools, the case also is assigned to that school's resource officer. If a child reported as missing is still missing at the age of 18, he or she will be held in the system as a missing person until found, especially if there are suspicious circumstances. "If they're missing under suspicious circumstances we have to always at least be looking for them to make sure no harm is done to them," said Mitchell. "If they get found, they're just removed from the system. Sometimes we have a child, maybe 16 or 17 years old, that runs away and goes to live with a different parent in a different state, and we know they're alive. Those children are not going to remain in the system." A proactive approach Lacking specific physical evidence that a missing child younger than 18 was taken against his or her will, the assumption often becomes that the child has run away. Often times, there is no such physical evidence. That's one reason why Robert Smith, a minister and executive affiliate of ChildShield USA in Henrico, pushes for preventative measures. ChildShield's primary goal is to prevent and reduce the numbers of lost, abducted and runaway children in America. The company offers victims' parents and law enforcement agencies a "one stop, one call source" for immediate assistance in distributing information that is vital to the recovery effort, according to Smith. Enrollment costs $15 a month for all children in the family and is valid until the children turn 24. The company provides education and awareness to parents and children alike as a proactive way to defend against safety issues. It also creates a package with videotapes and personal data for each child, which is updated every two years. If an enrolled child is missing, the company assigns a private investigator to the case, sends photo flyers to police and other agencies across the country and puts up a $50,000 reward. Every missing child enrolled in the program has been recovered safely, Smith said. It's important to be aware that times have changed, Smith said, and people are more technologically savvy and educated. Young people often put themselves out into an online world of potential danger, and older methods of finding missing children, such as ID fingerprint cards, aren't going to prevent a child from going anywhere, he said. "We're required to have car insurance, we have health insurance, home insurance, etc., so why not insure your child?" he said. "You can't replace the child, but you can replace a car or house or other aesthetically valued thing." Why is Virginia ranked so high on the missing-children list? A lack of awareness, according to Smith. "I come and speak to the kids about being safe through Henrico schools," said Smith. "This month and next month the library has me speaking to people about the problem and being safe. Most people are just unaware there is a problem, and the biggest part of what I do is education to both parents and children." The Henrico Police have school PEAK (Police, Educators and Kids) officers read books to younger children about safety and programs in which they discuss stranger danger, date rape, peer pressure and running away to inform the youngsters about potential problems. Smith understands that there is a problem and there also is a solution – but not one that will resonate with people who continually tell themselves, "This isn't going to happen to my child." He knows this all too well from a personal experience. His youngest son, Marcus Smith, was missing after a tornado hit Tuscaloosa, Ala., on April 27, 2011, leaving his family frantic. He was later found deceased. "If your child goes missing, you will give up everything you have to get your child back," said Smith, on the verge of tears. "My son's body went missing and we didn't find him until five days later. When we got to his apartment it didn't look real; it looked like a movie scene. When we found him, he was buried beneath trees and shrubs, and I had to go back and identify him. "From that experience take my word, $15 a month is nothing because you will give up everything you have to find your child. It's about making sure people are educated and having them realize that it does happen and can happen." A network of support A nationwide network of missing-child clearinghouses work closely together with the National Center For Missing And Exploited Children (NCMEC) and various agencies to provide a comprehensive approach to child protection. The focus points of the clearinghouses are networking, information dissemination, training development and delivery, data collection and provision of technical assistance in cases of missing and sexually exploited children. The Clearinghouse of Virginia was formed in 1983 and operates as Virginia's center for missing children administered through the Virginia Department of State Police. It is linked to all Virginia law enforcement agencies, the FBI, all U.S. police agencies through the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and all children's clearinghouses. NCMEC handles the most serious cases in which the child is at greatest risk. Henrico police officers work closely with NCMEC, receiving notification any time a missing child case involves the county and serving as an additional resource if a child is missing. NCMEC officials assist local police by printing out flyers with a missing child's information and pictures, which are posted in high volume areas, such as local Walmart or Target stores. One of the most recognized services for missing children is the Amber Alert Program, which is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement and transportation agencies and media to send out urgent bulletins in serious child-abduction cases. Law enforcement officials notify the NCMEC when an Amber Alert is released for a specific geographical area. Once NCMEC validates the Amber Alert, it is entered into a secure system and transmitted to authorized secondary distributors. In most cases an Emergency Alert System is used to air a description of the child on radio and TV in hopes of making the community aware right away and helping in the recovery of the child. Such an alert is only issued when law enforcement agencies believe an abduction has occurred; the child is 17 years or younger and is in imminent danger; and there is enough descriptive information about the victim available. Less than one percent of the lost, missing or runaway child cases in America actually qualify to use the system. Despite police efforts in Virginia, last year one of every five children reported as missing was not found. In the 12th most populous state in the nation, that's a number that provides plenty of incentive for officials and others, such as Smith, who are seeking to lower it. |

UN Country Team discussion paper on rising food prices |
Introduction The UN Country Team in Cambodia supports a cohesive national response to the challenge of rising food prices in collaboration with development partners, and aligned to priorities of government. In line with global efforts the UN is taking action to respond to the immediate, medium and longer term challenges of the crisis. This discussion paper provides a snapshot of the present situation in Cambodia and outlines a framework for action linked to national priorities with consideration for the sustainability and potential consequences of any interventions made in the short term . The paper aims to generate further discussion at the technical and policy level, with input from all partners. 1. Overview The rising price of food and its economic and social impact is a serious and complex issue for Cambodia. The impact on vulnerable communities and all sectors is increasingly clear. UN agencies and their partners are concerned that high food price increase will obstruct the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals and significantly threaten the food security and socio-economic well-being of Cambodia's poorest. With current trends predicted to continue, a coordinated response that allows for immediate action, is necessary in order to meet critical needs such as food aid and acute malnutrition (in the < 5 age category). Detailed and consistent data management and analysis, ongoing policy dialogue with government, the development of macroeconomic instruments and evidence based agricultural strategies will help Cambodia to respond to the current situation and build resilience. With appropriate support measures, higher prices may benefit Cambodia's farmers and strengthen the agricultural sector and may create opportunities midway through the NSDP 2006-2010 term. The UN Country Team thus proposes a response which prioritizes: robust data management and analysis; reduced vulnerability including food security and social safety nets; development of macroeconomic instruments; and advances in agricultural productivity. 2. Food price increase in Cambodia The surge in global food prices has been driven by various factors including rapid increases in demand, low global stocks and high oil prices. Cambodia is a net importing country and record food and oil prices together with a depreciated US dollar have driven inflation to a 9 year high of 10.8 percent, at a time when the domestic economy is already showing some signs of slow down. GDP grew by 9.6 percent in 2007 led by garment exports, tourism and construction. FDI reached $600 million which was slightly more than Cambodia received in official development assistance (ODA). Internally, the banking sector has expanded rapidly leading to the sudden proliferation of credit, and increased cost of construction materials and some wages. The higher oil and commodity prices have driven inflation and the depreciated dollar may hurt sectors that are vulnerable to price competition. Economic risks have increased including the slowing down of garment exports (impact of US sub-prime mortgage crisis and increased competition from Vietnam), but the mix of growth in services (tourism and housing construction) means that the economic outlook for 2008/2008 is generally considered good. Price of oil Since 2003, the price of crude oil has risen from $22 to $126 per barrel in May 2008 and is forecast to rise to $200 by 2010 . Cambodia imports 100 percent of its oil and only 25 percent of the total population is connected to the electrical grid. Cambodian farmers are largely dependent on diesel generators for household operated water pumps and/or irrigation. The current price of oil in Phnom Penh is around 5,450 riel/$1.36 per litre. Domestically, the rising cost of fuel has pushed up the cost of local and industrial transport and agricultural inputs such as fertilizer, which has increased in cost by 2-3 times in the past year. Weakened US dollar The Cambodian riel (KHR) is artificially pegged to the US$ (at about 4,000 riels). As well as dealing with eroded purchasing power, Cambodia is importing inflation on imports from neighbouring countries whose currencies have appreciated against the dollar. Dollarization presents a further challenge for policy makers devising sustainable policies to address the current food crisis. Price of rice Rice is the staple food item in Cambodia and constitutes 50 percent of the total food consumption of poor families. From March 2007 to March 2008 rice prices in Cambodia have doubled. Such fluctuations in the price of rice will impact poverty reduction efforts and the World Bank predicts that a 10 percent increase of the rice price would increase the national poverty rate by 0.5 percent (in both rural and urban areas) . In addition to critically low levels of global food stocks and higher production and transport costs, the global rice price has been compounded by export restrictions from large exporting countries and significant rice purchases from importing countries at higher prices. To stabilize the rice price, the Royal Government of Cambodia's short-term interventions in March 2008 included a 2-month ban on rice exports (excluding three provinces) and the release of subsidized rice to selected Phnom Penh markets. According to the Royal Government of Cambodia, Cambodia was a net exporter of rice in 2007. The rice surplus is calculated from an estimate of the total rice production minus total food requirement. For 2007 the estimated rice surplus was 1,640,000 metric tonnes . Although these figures suggest that Cambodia is a rice exporting country, undeveloped domestic processing means that farmers often sell their paddy to neighboring countries immediately after the harvest. Paddy is sold at low price (often to repay debts) and milled rice is bought back at greater cost. Some pockets of the country remain rice deficient due to distribution and infrastructure constraints. Whilst future trends are difficult to forecast in the short-term because of the direct link between world food markets and energy markets, FAO/OECD predicts that higher cereal prices will continue for the medium term 2007-2016. The Royal Government of Cambodia does not anticipate a rice shortage in 2008/09. As in the past, however, availability alone does not ensure equal access for the poor to purchase/consume rice. Most vulnerable In 2004, the total food poverty line was US$0.42 per day (the poverty line in rural areas was $0.34 per day) and 2.6 million Cambodians were food poor . Poorer households spend a larger percentage of their household consumption on food and have few assets or savings. The poorest of the poor spend 83 percent of their total consumption on food. Consumption inequality among rich and poor, urban and rural has grown considerably. In the absence of formal social safety nets, Cambodian households face a variety of risks. Illness or death of a family member can push even relatively wealthy households into poverty and poor households into destitution, As high food prices continue, vulnerable groups are being forced to reduce their food intake or to consume cheaper and less nutritious food products, which reduces general health and well-being, exposing families to illness and rendering them less productive and more economically vulnerable. The present food crisis threatens to drive a greater number of families below the food poverty line. Those most at risk are the net food consumers namely; the urban poor, economic migrants and their families, fixed salary workers, the landless or land poor, poor rural families and families affected by HIV/AIDS. With the strain of rising consumption costs, it is likely that existing coping mechanisms will be burdened further. This may trigger sales of household or farming assets, taking out high interest loans (exacerbating the debt trap), a spike in orphanage admissions (as one of the only available safety net for families), decreased school attendance, a rise in child labour, internal migration pressures, and severe stress to people affected by HIV/AIDS, TB and other chronic illnesses. 3. Agricultural Sector If Cambodia continues to produce a rice surplus, higher prices could benefit farmers, encourage increased production and create an opportunity to promote agricultural development. However, the increased cost of inputs, most notably fertilizer and energy/transport costs, are limiting factors to agricultural growth. In April 2008 the fertilizer price peaked at three times higher than 2007 and according to the Cambodian Center for Study and Development in Agriculture approximately 50 percent of Cambodia's estimated 2 million farmers have been adversely affected by the price rise .Farm (own) produced food accounts for only 25 percent of consumption in rural areas, so like the rest of Cambodia, most farmers are also paying higher food prices for the majority of their consumption . Agricultural growth is currently constrained by lack of irrigation, post harvest management constraints, roads, markets, access to loans, lack of diversification and capacity of farmers. The Government has invested in agricultural particularly in infrastructure, however it is not clear whether the 2006/2007 rice surplus is the result of more stable production or good rainfall. There was also significant demand from Viet Nam in 2007/2008 due to lower domestic yields and natural disasters. For the time being, rising food prices are not benefitting a significant number of farmers. 4. Government response Actioned May 2008 -- Immediate short-term intervention measures:
Proposed medium-term measures:
Long-term response -- priority areas
Government focal point The Committee on Economic and Financial Policies has agreed to establish a Price Monitoring Working Group to continuously monitor inflation and provide technical recommendations to government. The working Group will consist of Ministry of Economics and Finance, National Bank of Cambodia, Ministry of Planning, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and the Supreme National Economic Council. To ensure alignment with national priorities and to establish dialogue on priority need confirmation of the government focal point is needed. In the absence of this focal point, the UN Country Team will consult with the newly created Price Monitoring Working Group and the Supreme National Economic Council as first points of contact. Government has so far not released inflation data and may be prohibited from formulating an action plan in the short-term due to current election priorities. The post-election period, may provide the opportunity for discussion regarding social safety nets and the development of a comprehensive national response plan. 5. Civil Society priorities The NGO Forum on inflation and poverty that was held on 6 May 2008 included presentations and discussion by Government, development partners and civil society and established the following recommendations:
6. UN Response In the medium to long term, focusing on macroeconomic policy and technical assistance to advance agricultural productivity and invigorate private sector investment in rural development. Overall the UN sees a priority for robust surveillance and access to data analysis; a focus on vulnerability to economic shocks including issues of social safety nets, nutrition and illness, school attendance and child labour; agriculture with a focus on immediate agricultural inputs to the poorest farmers, productivity and post harvest potential. The UN's response views high food prices as a motivator for sustainable social investments to mitigate future risks and a potential catalyst for economic growth and poverty reduction. To establish this plan the UN and development partners will support the Royal Government of Cambodia with action on an immediate, short-, medium- and long term basis. 7.

Indulge My Effusive Overflow for a Dead Friend
I read Jonathan Edwards' sermon, "Christ's Agony." Stunning. I could not stop till I was done. So penetrating. So full of wine from the crushing and wringing of these grape-texts. So many questions posed. Such answers!
It is simply amazing to me that almost all of Edwards' published works are available online, or in multiple Kindle editions (for $.99 or $1.99, the one I have).
May God touch you as deeply as he has me—and more—as you linger in the kind of preaching and writing that makes every minute worth it.

CLARITY is getting a new cover when it releases in paperback February 1, 2012!
I adore the original cover, but--as many of you have pointed out--we have a different model on the cover of PERCEPTION. So now...they match!
I loved the original model's defiant look on her face, but the new model actually matches the Clare who lives in my head much better.
I'd love to know what you think!

On the 30th of March Novokuibishevsk city had a very special friendly match meeting between the teams of the Russian national team and the national team of Ukraine.
The initiator and organizer of this meeting was their representative on the Samara Region Governor Vyacheslav Suslin.
The meeting was planned a year ago, and we waited with great anticipation for its arrival. Due to the political situation in Ukraine, some people expressed their doubts about the status of the meeting or if it would ever happen. We had no such doubts, moreover, we were particularly pleased to see our Ukrainian brothers on our common ground and to demonstrate that we have always been and always will be together.
The whole point of sport to bring people together. So everyone should remember the history of sports when in antiquity for the Olympic Games stopped all wars, declared a truce to all athletes to move freely and to come to the territory of the competition. The very idea of Olympism is the idea of peace, goodness and light, where everyone can claim the title of the winner thanks to his perseverance, dedication and hard work, not social status, financial or geopolitical features.
Secondly, the philosophy Taekwon-Do, as we were taught by the founder General Choi Hong Hi is to unite people regardless of nationality, race, religion, or social status.
And third, the most important thing. We fraternal peoples with a common past, common history, we always remain united and no political interests can undermine our centuries-old friendship.
All costs of transport, accommodation, meals and reward athletes we undertaken by the organisers with thanks to the sponsorship of chain stores SOYUZNY.
We thank all participants and spectators of this momentous event. The fights were colorful, rich and interesting. Considering the overall situation will not be on our website to disclose the results, us all of our guys are winners.
