Some time ago, the Governor of the Bank of Israel, Stanley Fischer, remarked to the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, that future growth could rise to 5 per cent but that, if peace was reached with the Palestinians, it could be 7 per cent. If growth was going to reach 5 per cent, Mr Netanyahu is said to have replied, there was no need for peace.
Even assuming Mr Netanyahu was joking, the story helps to explain why the latest deadlock is less than traumatic for the Israeli leadership. The security threat from the West Bank is – for now – at an historically low level; Mr Netanyahu's success in seeing off the more far-reaching US demands for a settlement freeze has not dented his domestic popularity, as many predicted it would. And for a large body of Israeli opinion it is both Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's fault, and his problem, that he has not so far yielded to concerted US pressure to restart the talks which Mr Netanyahu has repeatedly insisted he is ready for.
That deadlock has now been formalised, so to speak, by President Barack Obama's stark admission to Time magazine that the US had failed to achieve in the Middle East "the kind of breakthrough that we wanted", and that if it had anticipated the "political problems" it "might not have raised expectations as high". While Mr Obama was careful to stress that efforts would continue, the remarks have been widely read in the region as implying that, for now, he has other more pressing matters to attend to.
The best that can be said about this is that, by owning up to the administration's own mishandling of the issue, the President has helped to protect Mr Abbas from taking sole blame. But behind the scenes there has been considerable pressure from the US on its European allies to join the calls on Mr Abbas to get back into talks, as he has – so far – declined to do in his discussions with Mr Obama's envoy George Mitchell. Both Mr Mitchell himself and that veteran of the failed Camp David talks in 2000, Dennis Ross, have been urging friendly diplomats to persuade Mr Abbas that he has nothing to lose by putting Mr Netanyahu to the test.
But most of the major allies have been slow to respond, largely because they felt some sympathy with Mr Abbas's view that he did indeed have a lot to lose. 2009 was a miserable year for the Palestinian President. The US issued an explicit demand for a total settlement freeze. But then it notably failed to back it up with the threat of sanctions with which the first George Bush brought Yitzhak Shamir to the table in 1991. And while Mr Netanyahu did – eventually – agree to temporary "restraint" in the West Bank, the overall result was a victory for the Israeli Prime Minister which left Mr Abbas badly exposed.
Then Washington gravely endangered Mr Abbas's presidency by demanding he block a UN move to endorse the Goldstone report on Israel's military offensive in Gaza. Finally it exercised little to no real pressure on Israel over the increasingly combustible issue of Jewish settlement in Arab East Jerusalem – which Mr Netanyahu has repeatedly refused to halt. Indeed while Mr Obama did refer last week to the divisions both sides face in their constituencies, his diplomats seem to have had a good deal more understanding of Mr Netanyahu's perceived, and arguably lesser, political difficulties than Mr Abbas's.
The formal position was that Mr Netanyahu was agreeing to talks without preconditions, and that Mr Abbas (demanding the total freeze he had thought he had US backing for) was not. But with Hamas waiting to pounce on any further fruitless surrender to the US, Mr Abbas's reluctance to negotiate, without any real earnest of good faith, with a man who showed every sign of meaning it when he said that Jerusalem would remain undivided, who demanded that the Palestinians should not just recognise Israel but recognise it as a "Jewish state", and who said that Israeli troops would control the eastern borders of any future Palestine, was understandable.
The danger now is that Washington will slip into the old comfort zone of "a plague on both sides". Last November, Thomas Friedman, who has played golf with the US President, wrote a New York Times column approvingly quoting James Baker's old, impatient, adage to both sides: "When you're serious, give us a call." There was an echo of this in Hillary Clinton's remark last week that in the end "this has to be between the Israelis and the Palestinians".
Actually, it doesn't. One of the refreshing aspects of the administration's language in those hopeful days last year was its repeated emphasis on the "American interest" in securing a solution in the Middle East. Mr Obama seemed to understand, as many of his predecessors had apparently failed to do, first that the conflict had a direct impact on the US's own security, if only by providing its real enemies with a casus belli; and secondly that Israel, and the Palestinians would not achieve a lasting peace on their own. Yet a year after his inauguration you only have to talk to Israeli activists on what could broadly be called the Zionist left to realise how deep is the disappointment at the failure of the US and the EU to launch the decisive third-party intervention that they are convinced is the only hope.
The greatest delusion would be that events can somehow stand still. Maybe the alternative to real progress is not yet a fresh outbreak of violence. But the facts on the ground speak for themselves; certainly the once unthinkable one that Defence Minister Ehud Barak (who still happens to be leader of the Israeli Labour Party) was last week able to confer national university status on Ariel College, in the heart of a Jewish settlement in the West Bank deemed illegal by the international community. It is a small, but symbolic, example of how entrenched the occupation has become in much of the Israeli political psyche.
Against this bleak background, if the Europeans have a duty, it is to remind – and on this issue it is sadly less credible – Washington that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is still too important to be left to the Israelis and Palestinians to solve.

Gander Mountain, an outdoor retail store, was established in 1960 to cater to the avid outdoorsman. Their slogan is "we live outdoors." If you take a look at their inventory, the slogan surely matches. Gander Mountain carries outdoor apparel, footwear, camping gear, archery and hunting gear, and firearms. They are a multichannel retailer providing products in-store, online, and in catalogs. In addition to their retail business, Gander Mountain has joined forces with several conservation partners to preserve the outdoor experience for future generations. When taking a look at how one could save while shopping at this store, we found two different credit card options they offer. Here we are going to do a review of the card that can be used for out-of-store purchases as well.
Features of the Gander Mountain MasterCard:
- Earn 3 points per $1 on Gander Mountain & Overton purchases
- Earn 2 points per $1 on gas and groceries
- Earn 1 point per $1 on all other purchases
- No annual fee
- Rewards Certificate options
- Earn 2 Bonus points per $1 on Gander Mountain and Overton's purchases each year you spend $10,000
The Good
The Gander Mountain MasterCard may be one of the best rewards credit cards I've ever come across that's associated with a store. They have a somewhat stacked rewards certificate program where you get a $40 Rewards Certificate when you spend $500 on the new card with at least one purchase made outside the store; earn an additional $20 Rewards Certificate when you spend $500 in gas within the first two months; and you can earn another $20 Rewards Certificate after reaching 2,000 points.
Along with their stacked rewards certificates, they also have a great point's earnings system. For all purchases made on Gander Mountain and Overton purchases, both online and offline, card holders earn 3 points per dollar spent. Purchases made towards gas and groceries will earn you 2 points per dollar and everything else will earn you an even 1 point per dollar spent. To top it all off, you can earn 2 additional bonus points for every dollar spent if you exceed $10,000 on Gander Mountain and Overton's purchases per year. Talk about incentives!
The Not-so-Good
The APR is OK, at a variable of 16.99%, 20.99%, or 24.99%, depending on your creditworthiness. They do have an option for 0% interest, either through the "Waive Interest Promotional Credit Plan" or the "Defer Interest Promotional Credit Plan." The terms and conditions for both card options are combined together, making it quite difficult to completely understand things like interest, fees, and charges; makes me wonder if it's actually in-line with the CARD Act. From what I gather, is during the application process, you may be offered promotional credit plans, or not, depending on where you're located and if you're applying online or in-store. Things like deferred interest and finance charges can be applied to these plans. Here's a quick snapshot of what I found covering that information.
The Bottom Line
You've really got to be a Gander Mountain and Overton's fan to get the full potential of these rewards and certificates. If not, the only bonuses that will apply to you would be the 2 points per dollar on gas and groceries and 1 point per dollar spent on everything else, which is actually pretty standard for today's non-store related credit cards. I guess you can possibly be offered a 0% introductory APR plan, but that's likely to come with a catch you don't want to be a part of. If you decided to apply for this card, I would stick with the regular rates –no promo offers- and be sure to pay your bill in full each month.
Here are some similar credit cards for all credit types offering similar rewards:
Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express- With this card, you earn 6% cash back on purchases at US supermarkets –up to $6,000/year- 3% cash back at US gas stations and at select US department stores. Additionally, you'll earn 1% cash back on all other purchases. An added bonus is the 0% intro APR offer for 15 months. You need excellent credit to get approved. Terms and conditions apply*
Barclaycard Rewards MasterCard®- Like the Gander Mountain MasterCard, card holders earn 2X cash back rewards on purchases for gas, groceries and utilities and 1X cash back rewards on all other purchases. You need average-good credit to get approved.
Credit One Bank® - Earn More Credit Fast- For those with not-so-great credit, this card earns you 1% cash back on all gas purchases with no limit to the number of rewards you can earn.

International Needs' London Bridges Walk event is approximately a seven mile walk along the River Thames and across some of London's most famous bridges. We will meet at 10am on Saturday 17 September at London Bridge Station (exact meeting point to be confirmed). The tourist inside you will enjoy seeing some of London's iconic landmarks along the way, such as St Paul's Cathedral, the London Eye and the Houses of Parliament.
Anyone can take part. This event is not just for the super-fit, all you need is some determination and a sense of adventure. Whether you are an individual seeking a fun challenge, organising a company event, a group of friends, or a family looking for a fun day out with a twist, this is for you. A great opportunity to walk with others who share your sense of adventure.
Most of us take for granted that wherever we may live in the UK, there will be safe drinking water piped into our homes and a sewer system kept separate to take waste water away. We don't expect to get sick from drinking the water, or to have to walk many miles every day to fetch enough water for the family to use. But for around 300 million people in sub Saharan Africa, this is the daily challenge. Walk with us to raise awareness and provide funds to build wells and improve sanitation facilities, in Uganda for example, we want to stop 8,000 under 5 year olds dying from waterborne disease each year.
The cost of taking part is just £15. This includes an International Needs t-shirt, route map, a certificate congratulating you on your achievement. Children can join for £5 without a T-shirt, or £15 with.
We don't ask for a minimum fundraising amount we just ask you to raise as much money as you can. Remember that every penny counts and will make a difference. The entry fee is not a donation to the work of International Needs, but covers the cost of the event, meaning that the sponsorship money that you raise can go directly to help those who need it.

If you have any questions, please email or call Sarah with the below details. Hope to see you there!

The anticipated return of horses to the former Melpet Farm property in South Dennis is on hold.
The owner of Rocking Double Bar C Ranch, Cindy Cash of East Dennis planned to put horses in the barn's 18 stalls and offer family-friendly events, equine-facilitated therapy and riding lessons by early July.
The anticipated return of horses to the former Melpet Farm property in South Dennis is on hold.
The owner of Rocking Double Bar C Ranch, Cindy Cash of East Dennis planned to put horses in the barn's 18 stalls and offer family-friendly events, equine-facilitated therapy and riding lessons by early July.
In January, the Dennis Agricultural Commission unanimously approved Cash's proposal to lease the 12.5 acres off Route 134. But the town's attorney drew up a contract that Cash said neither her attorney nor her bank will approve.
Long devoted to equine rescue and rehabilitation, Cash says she used her home as collateral to obtain a $20,000 loan and a $20,000 line of credit for the new business. "The town offered me a three-year lease, and that's just not acceptable," she said. "I asked for 10 years, with the option to renew for another 10. On top of that, they want to be able to revoke the lease without cause with 14 days' notice. Who can move all those horses with 14 days' notice? Where would I put them?"
The proposed contract also places limitations on Cash's presence in the barn. "They want me out by 9 p.m.," she said. "If I have a sick horse, I stay with it throughout the night. I won't put an animal or my lease at risk, so that needs to be changed."
While Cash is happy with her present East Dennis location, the move would be an opportunity for her to rescue more horses and help more people. But equine-related therapy draws people with disabilities, and Cash says the lease does not allow handicapped people in the barn. "They said it's not up to code, yet they put in a handicapped bathroom," she said. "I can't live with that. In winter and inclement weather, I run the therapy program inside."
For more than a month, Cash said, she's received phone calls, emails and Facebook postings asking when she's opening at Melpet. "We're looking forward to it. We're ready to roll. We just need a green light that changes have been made to the lease that we can live with."
Town responds
Town Administrator Rick White said Cash is holding up the lease contract by failing to submit a plan for managing horse manure. "When she does, we will be ready to go," he said. When asked about Cash's issues, White said he understood that she was working them out with the Dennis Agricultural Commission.
Agricultural Commission Chairman John Lowell said Cash's plan to nourish the depleted soil with manure so she could grow grazing grass was rejected. "It would cause problems with nitrogen loading," he said. "Cindy has decided to truck the manure off site. Now her attorney needs to sit down with the town's attorney and get things hashed out. Everybody wants to see this business happen."
Selectwoman Heidi Schadt, who serves as liaison to the commission, said Cash's lawyer needs to discuss his client's concerns with Karen Johnson, director of natural resources. "We are still waiting," Johnson said. "We have had no call from Cindy's attorney nor received any paperwork indicating what the issues are with the draft document."
White said the town has made significant improvements to the property. "If Cindy has practical handicapped issues that are specific to her special use, then she needs to address them with the committee and in context of the whole negotiated agreement," he said. "At this point the matter is still in process and under negotiations. Cindy's ability to be forthright and her commitment to work with the committee is the only avenue for her receiving an award. Otherwise, I will suggest that the selectmen begin a new RFP [request for proposals] process."

Chia Pudding: 17 Easy Chia Seed Recipes
You've read about chia, and you know why you should add this healthy little seed to your diet. But finding ways to eat this seed on a regular basis can get tricky. Sprinkling a bit of chia on a salad is fine, if not a bit boring, and chia frescas are refreshing but not very filling.
That's why chia pudding recipes are best of both words: with a basic formula, you can make an endless variety of treats that help you get some chia seeds into your diet, and also provide a healthy breakfast or snack. As a bonus, many chia pudding are vegan, raw, gluten-free, or paleo friendly — or even all of the above.
The 17 recipes below are all a great way to enjoy chia seeds, but we challenge you to get creative: think about your favourite breakfast or dessert foods, then work on turning those into a chia pudding recipe of your own.
This chia pudding tastes like summer, thanks to the fresh mango cream it's made with. Get the recipe from Blissful Basil here.
With chia pudding, you can use the flavours of your favourite desserts to have a healthy treat. This recipe tastes like apple pie. Get the recipe from The Skinny Fork here.
Fact: You would never guess this chocolately pudding is made with avocados. Get the recipe from The Iron You here.
This pudding is definitely healthier than a red velvet cupcake, and still is a good source of protein.
This chia pudding tastes like a gourmet ice-cream sundae. Get the recipe from Goodness Green here.
You can also make chia puddings with vegetables — like carrots, for example, to give you a boost of vitamin A. Get the recipe from Kiss My Broccoli Blog here.
Chia puddings don't have to be sweet either. This recipe with blended cashews would be a great addition to an Indian-inspired meal. Get the recipe from The Kitchn here.
Having a dinner party? Wow your guests with this dessert made with healthy blood oranges and pomegranate seeds. Get the recipe (and others like it) from Buzzfeed here.
The worst thing about chia pudding is waiting for it to set. The seeds plump up as they absorb liquids, but they need a little time to get the right consistency (it can take up to a 8 hours in the fridge overnight). This clever recipe uses blended chia seeds and almond milk ice cubes to drastically reduce the time needed for setting. Get the recipe for Oh She Glows here.
Breakfast cereals are a yummy way to start the day, but not always a healthy one. Many of them have more sugar than you'd suspect. You can get similar flavours with better nutrition by replacing cereal with chia pudding that has ingredients like raisins. Get the recipes from Tasty Yummies here.
Look at those gorgeous colours! This pudding treat is made with blueberries and green pistachios. You can make this recipe without toasting the coconut, but it really adds a great finishing touch. Get the recipe from Lunch Box Bunch here.
If you like tart flavours, this chia pudding recipe will hit the spot. Get the recipe from Go Go Healthy here.
This cherry chia pudding is great with chocolate chips or cocoa sprinkled on top. Get the recipe from Nutrition Stripped here.
It seems kind of silly to make pumpkin pie in the middle of spring —but if you've got a craving, this chia pudding recipe will make your day. Get the recipe from Krisscarr.com here.
Here's a recipe to save for when strawberries are in season. It tastes like an indulgent strawberry shortcake, but it's actually raw, vegan, and gluten-free. Get the recipe from Fettle Vegan here.
If you ever see exotic tropical fruits in the grocery store and wonder what you can make with them, chia pudding is a great solution. This recipe uses passionfruit, but you could try it with guava, mangosteen, starfruit, or anything else you find. Get the recipe from One Green Planet here.
Who says chia pudding has to be a pudding? We love this healthy take on classic pudding pops. This recipe uses raspberries and coconut milk, but don't be shy to get creative with your own ingredients. Get the recipe from Skinny Taste here.

country suburban heating and ac

There service is so terrible. It took there there service guy mark six times of coming back and forth to fix my air conditioner. Then they charged me close to a thousand dollars for the repair that I think he messed up to begin with when they installed the unit. Then to top it all off the owner Harry gee won't even return any of my phone calls. Beware of this company. They promise unicorns and rainbows before they get your money but once Harry gets that money you won't hear back from him. This place is terrible. Has anyone else had this type of experience?
#3 May 29, 2012
I have no problem paying to get my unit fixed if that's what you are insinuating. But in my eyes the problem should have been fixed in the first two times of being there. Three times tops. Not six. I shouldn't have to pay six times of different parts and lots
Of labor to change said parts. I understand these systems can be tough to work on but come on. Hire someone qualified. His vehicle says the hvac doctor. If it was so difficult to fix he should have pulled his nurse off the job an sent in a surgeon. But he wouldn't even return my call. Just wanted to see if I'm the only disgruntled customer or if there are others with similar situations.
#4 May 29, 2012
country does NOT work that way. so stfu. he stands by his installations. and if it was just installed recently, then what about it being covered under warranty? so again, stfu. you should of went with m &r, it wuld of cost you 2 thousand..lol..
United States
#6 May 29, 2012
Stfu? What is that about. Just cause you had a good experience doesn't mean I didn't have a bad one. I had a warranty but it was up. Like I said it shouldn't take that many times to fix something. If you took your car to the service department and it took them six times to fix something. Each time you took it it was a different part plus labor, you wouldn't think something was up? Come on. And if I was a business owner and I had a customer that was dissatisfied with my companies service I would have returned there phone call at the very least. Just saying mr stfu
#7 May 29, 2012
I must agree with bad service. country suburbAn installed a fireplace unit in my home, it was still under warranty and harry gee wanted to charge me for repairs and a service call.

I can say I have used them several times and, had no bad experiences. They did the job we talked about, and I paid the price he estimated for. Actually one time they gave me a few things to look at. When I did it resolved the problem, I called them back, and they said great you avoided a service call.
My advise to anybody is, know something about things you use. Ask questions and understand what is being done. I actually don't believe your original post, but to each his own.

Thank-you for not tying them up, when we need them. Bet City can't start anything, because they don't want anymore bad publicity. 3391

There is a little more to the story about how he started his business...
It is my understanding that Harry worked at City Suburban for several years. I heard that Harry was a very important part of building the business at City Suburban several years ago. To make a long story short...Harry left the business. Some of the details of the situation are unclear, but I heard from a reliable source that there was some sort of settlement and/or buyout of Harry by City Suburban. Harry then used the large amount of money to start his new business (Country Suburban) and build a very nice showroom in Utica. Each company has their own version of the story, but it seems to be reliable that Harry started his business with the settlement that he received when he left. I am not saying anything good or bad about either company...this stuff happens in business all the time.
When I was gathering quotes for a new system, Harry seemed to be reasonably knowledgeable and definitely a very persistent salesperson. He kept calling me to see if I had made a decision yet. I have to give him credit that he wanted me to come out and see some of the similar jobs that he was working on at the time. He also gave me a professional looking quote with good information outlining the options that we discussed.
I ended up not using Country Suburban (or City Suburban either). While Harry seemed to be knowledgeable and seeemed to have a successful business, something turned me off with his communications skills as a salesperson. I ended up going with a smaller company where the person that was selling me the system was going to be doing the actual installation of the system. Therefore, I was able to ask all of my questions to the salesperson, installer, service technician and the owner because they were all the same person.
My only experiences with City Suburban and Country Suburban were limited to my research and the quotes that I received from each of them. I might(?) consider getting quotes from each of the companies again if I needed work in the future, but I guarantee that I would be meeting with as many companies as possible. Do your own research and ask many questions!!! It is important to be very comfortable with the company that you choose when you sign the contract and give them the deposit.

Thank you for all this information...I need to purchase a new furnace, my old one got damage during the summer flood..I have had a few estimates, one of them from Country Suburban..I called them and Harry was at my house the next day which made me very happy..I hate to wait...Harry seemed very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail which I appreciated since I don't know very much about furnaces. Anyway about 4 days after Harry's visit to my home I received a quote in the mail and it has been about 7 days now and he has not called me to see if I have made a decision yet, so hence I do not find him pushy at all. I have gotten a couple of other quotes and Country Suburban seems to be the better price so far for the same unit and same job..I have not made a decision yet..I appreciate any information or input I can Get..I got a quote from Sears and Home Depot and they are about $2,500 more than Country Suburban.

Inside Toy Fair 2012, Part 2
February 19, 2012 , 5:34 pm | By Bryan Reesman
Cinemania, Comicopia, More Feature Stories, Out & About
As I mentioned previously, someone made a very astute comment to me about Toy Fair last week. Toy Fair is both exciting and depressing for the same reason: you realize how much you're going to spend on toys this year. Check out the following pics, which continue the coverage from part one of this photo gallery, and you'll see why.
A.D.D. will have a few separate Toy Fair pieces coming, and we're starting with this overview of what was on the floor. Drool away, geeks!

There was something different in the way Tyler was acting around me. The shyness and the walls seemed to have come down and though we weren't exactly chatting, the silence was bearable. We travelled alternately in wolf and human form as we wanted and covered some considerable distance before night began to fall. We stopped to eat, sitting with our backs against a broad tree.
I was gazing off into the distance, not really eating and twirling a strand of hair absently around my finger. I was thinking about my brother. We hadn't seen each other in years. I wondered if he was still alive after the attack, whether he was okay, how his life had been, whether he knew I was alive, whether he thought of me at all. I missed the easy way he had with people and how he always knew what to say to bring a smile to someone's face. I missed how we would talk for hours about everything and nothing and never get bored. He had been my best friend as well as my brother and I felt his loss like an almost physical ailment. It would be our birthday soon. I hoped that wherever he was, they celebrated it properly.
Tyler nudged me gently, derailing my thoughts.
"You okay?"
I nodded, giving him a sad smile and focusing on my food instead. After a while, a thought struck me.
"Do you have any siblings, Tyler?" I tried to cover the whistful tone in my voice. "You never mentioned your family"

Farmer found not guilty of manslaughter after rambler died in cattle field
NewsMonday 12 May 2014
A farmer has been cleared of manslaughter after a walker died in a field of cattle.
The prosecution had alleged that a bull, which belonged to Paul Waterfall, had attacked and killed Roger Freeman, 63, as he walked with his wife on a footpath along the farmer's land in November 2010.
Glynis Freeman, Mr Freeman's wife who was 67 at the time of the incident, had told the police that the animal responsible for the attack was a "brown slobbering" bull with 12in horns.
She reported that the animal had charged and tossed her husband in the air.
However, after giving evidence in the four-week trial, Mrs Freeman, who is now 70, said that she could no longer be sure that the animal that attacked her and her husband did have horns.
According to The Telegraph, the Brown Swiss bull in question, which was named Moonriver Zac Pi, had been kept in the field with a number of other breeds of cow.
Prosecutor Andrew McGee had alleged that Mr Waterfall knew the bull posed a "deadly risk" and said that the farmer had a duty of care to protect those people using the public footpath over his land.
However, when arguing his case, Mr Waterfall said that the 19-month-old bull, known as Zac, did not have horns and he also went on to say that if it had shown any aggression, it would have been culled.
Nottingham Crown Court heard that the attack happened as the light was fading at around 4.30pm on the afternoon of the 12th November 2010.
It also heard that both Mr and Mrs Freeman, from Glen Parva in Leicestershire, were experienced ramblers who had been walking the 15 miles from Nottingham to Loughborough when the incident occurred.
The couple saw the cows and the bull in the field and carried on walking along the public footpath across Mr Waterfall's land when the attack took place.
Mrs Freeman attempted to defend her husband from the animal and was also injured in teh incident.
According to The Telegraph Mrs Freeman survived the attack by climbing over a fence and flagging down a passing motorist. She said that the last thing she heard her husband say as he called on her to get help was: "I'm sorry my baby, I can't get us out of this."
Paramedics discovered Mr Freeman's body in the field and a post-mortem examination revealed that he suffered broken ribs, shoulders and upper arms as well as fractures to his vertebrae.
Mrs Freeman also had to undergo surgery for chest and abdominal injuries.
After the incident the bull was destroyed.
The jury took just over two-and-a-half hours to find the farmer not guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence and after the hearing Mr Waterfall declined to comment out of respect for the Freeman family.
Following the verdict, Judge Gregory Dickinson told the court: ''Whatever the verdict, I have no doubt all the jury felt enormous sympathy for Mrs Freeman and for family and friends.
''I express my sympathies and condolences to the family, who have been through a horrible ordeal.''
The judge criticised the time it took to charge Mr Waterfall following the incident. The farmer was charged last year following Mr Freeman's death in 2010.
Judge Dickinson said: ''I struggle to understand how it took so long to come to a decision to charge. The Crown Prosecution Service should look very carefully at the history of this case to find out what lessons can be learned.''
The judge also said the case questioned the importance of leaving health and safety issues to self-regulation.
He said it raised the question of whether Brown Swiss bulls should be added to the list of animals that could not be kept in a field where there is a public right of way.

Sam Belyea to Teach Activating the Chakras at Bella Prana in Tampa
After a packed first workshop Sam Belyea returns to Bella Prana to teach Activating the Chakras. This workshop will cover more pose breakdowns and instruction of popular yoga techniques such as bandhas, lines of energy, and pranayama.
This workshop will be held at Bella Prana from 1:30pm to 3:30pm on Saturday December 8th, the cost is $20 per person to attend. Each attendee will be given handouts and an in depth look at seven essential yoga poses to activate the energy centers of the body.
Activating the Chakras is the sequel workshop to The Chakras in Yoga, which was presented by Belyea in September of this year. That workshop had eighteen attendees which filled one of the two available teaching rooms at Bella Prana.
"I am so excited to return to Bella Prana to teach this second workshop. The first workshop went over so well and everyone really enjoyed the content. After studying the Chakras for six years, Bella Prana made it so easy to share what I've learned. Roni is so great to work with and she has such a beautiful space, I am so thankful to be able to teach there twice now." Belyea states.
On the Bella Prana blog Belyea's guest blog states "The Chakras teach us about how our internal reality manifests our external experiences. In yoga we strive to come into union (yoga = union), so when the external environment of relationships, work, or physical health is out of balance yogis can turn to the Chakras as a road map to understanding the correlation between their internal experience of life with the external symptoms they experience."
Belyea has been a Reiki practitioner for six years and has been studying the Chakras as an extension of his energy work practice. He has been a yoga student at Bella Prana for over two years and is enrolled in Bella Prana's Teacher's Training facilitated by Jennifer Leavy of Pose by Pose Yoga.
In addition to providing Massage, Reiki, and Reflexology sessions at Massage Redefined, Belyea also teaches Reiki at his Wednesday night Reiki Circles and Florida Board of Massage Therapy approved Reiki Trainings where he covers the Chakras.

I had no idea what I was doing and I was scared and confused. When I went to see the magister and was asked, I just said no. Is it too late for me to have one appointed? This happened on Sunday morning, today is now Wednesday, if the time matters.
If you are indigent and can not afford an attorney, you can always request the appointment of an attorney even if you did not request one initially. This is a right guaranteed you by the US constitution under Gideon v. Wainwright.See question
I have been married since 2011 but at the time my husband was in the county jail awaiting a transfer. I have recently been able to see clearly I understand that I do not need to be in this situation anymore. I have had no contact with him since 3 ...
There is no longer a statute of limitations for sexual assault in Texas. You can always report crimes of this nature even if there has been significant time since it occurred. The problem is that the delay and the context of the custody issue can be used to challenge your credibility.See question
I understand wire and mail frauds are federal violations /crimes. Can these be brought in state district courts against the defendant/s? Is there any Texas state specific or equivalent laws/statutes for violations on mail/wire frauds.
It depends on what the nature of the fraud is. There are many Texas statutes that cover charges normally referred to in federal court as wire fraud. Theft securing the execution of a documentation, credit card fraud, to name a few.See question
Got busted no cops called they wrote down my information got a civil demand letter what should i do? I need a lawyer near 78758(austin,tx)
Not necessarily. Sometimes a case will never be filed. It depends on the store, the agency and the actual officer involved. Please call me. I have handled many of these cases.See question
If so how long does it take to get an expunge after completion of the anger management classes? How do you find out if it was dismiss or not?

You will almost certainly be contacted by either a representative of pretrial services or the District Attorney's office if your husband's lawyer believes there is a chance to have a personal bond approved. Give them your honest opinion on whether he will comply with conditions and whether he will pose a risk to you or your family.See question
He has since been arrested for DWI a third time and has been going through the court. He is going to get senteced on Wednesday. However, on last Friday he was arrested for public lewdness for having sex in public which is a class A misdemeanor h...
He probably should go forward with the sentencing if his DWI is a misdemeanor. This is true because the new arrest is so recent, the prosecutors wouldn't know about it. If you postponed the case, they may find out and pull their offer. The new case sounds like one that could be dismissed if handled properly.See question

It is very frightening to be charged with a felony that carries up to 10 years in prison. So, it is understandable someone would panic in this situation. Eventually he will get caught and it can be even worse on him than if he simply turns himself in. If he does not turn himself in and is caught by law enforcement or a bounty hunter he could have additional charges brought against him which brings more jail time.See question
jail and 5mths house arrest. I have gotten my act straight and know i want to proceed on getting a Bachelors degree on Nursing but i'm afraid my criminal record will hurt me big time. Is there a way i can get it removed or do something so it won'...
This depends on what the exact sentence was. If you were placed deferred ajudication you may qualify for a non-disclosure. If you your case was dismissed you may qualify for an expunction. However, if you served jail time as a sentence on this case you may not be able to seal the record.See question

What is the latest guidelines about washing fruits and vegetables before using?
By JoCarmen27 from Pittsburgh, PA
Add your voice! Click below to answer. ThriftyFun is powered by your wisdom!
This is from the ThriftyFun Archives and is timeless wisdom:
-Wash fruits and vegetables only before eating. If you wash the item before storage, it will spoil more quickly.
-The best way to wash the fruit or vegetable thoroughly is by gently rubbing the produce item under clean running tap water.
-If the fruit or vegetable is firm enough (like potatoes and squashes) and the skin will be eaten, then a scrub brush should be used to clean the surface.
-All fruits and vegetables should be washed even when the skin and rind are not eaten, such as oranges and melons.
-You do not need to use detergents or bleaches when washing any fruits or vegetables as they may stay on the surface and might be absorbed into the produce. Detergents and bleaches are not intended for use on foods and consuming them on fruits and vegetables may make you sick.
-Commercial produce sprays or washes are available in some supermarkets. However, governmental agencies do not recommend these sprays or washes. No washing method completely removes or kills all microbes, which may be present on the produce. Washing produce with clean tap water is adequate.
-Take off the outer leaves of leafy vegetables such as lettuce and cabbage before washing. Rinse leaves individually under running tap water and place in a salad spinner to dry.
-Cut out any bruised areas of the produce because bacteria may grow and cause illness if consumed.
-Keep raw meats separate from fresh fruits and vegetables. Use different cutting boards, knives, and utensils when preparing meals.
-Always wash cutting boards, knives, utensils, and your hands after handling raw meats and before handling fresh fruits and vegetables.
-Be sure to keep your refrigerator clean and cold.
-Wrap or cover any fruits or vegetables that you have cut and store them above raw meats.

Tips for washing fruits and vegetables. Post your ideas.
Bicarbonate of soda is a good way to disinfect many of your fresh fruits and veggies (such as tomatoes or apples, etc). Just sprinkle with a little baking soda, cover with cold water, and soak a while. After about 15 minutes, I scrub softly with a brush for vegetables and then rinse the vegetables.
By Shirley (05/09/2005)
By ThriftyFun
May not be a good idea for someone on a low salt diet as with hypertension. The baking soda is the same as salt and can be absorbed into the vegetables especially if they are eaten raw adding additional salt to your diet. (05/10/2005)
By Judy RN
To clean veggies and fruits from store or after harvest, put in a clean basin or sink with 1/4 cup vinegar and tablespoon of salt and it will draw out dirt and bugs. It helps clean off the wax film sprayed on by commercial growers, and helps clean off any pesticides that may be on them. I let it sit for a few minutes and then rinse with clear water.
By Dee (08/01/2005)

Today there are all kinds of fruit and vegetable washes on the market to buy. While in a health food store, not long ago, I asked the store owner what she uses to clean her fresh produce with at home. She replied "liquid dishsoap and water". I no longer purchase the $4.95 bottle of veggie wash, as I used to, when I have dish soap as a staple anyway!
By Terri (08/15/2005)
By ThriftyFun
I am so glad I am not the only one who uses dish soap on my veggies and fruits! My husband and friends think I am crazy for doing this. I don't use a lot, just a drop or two in a bowl and dip the food in and out a few times and rinse. Makes me feel they are clean. (08/15/2005)
I use just a teaspoon of salt, I used to juice and was told by juicer to do this. My doc says the
teaspoon of salt is OK for a large mixing bowl of water. Doctor is just glad I am now eating healthy fruits and veggies instead of fastfood. (08/15/2005)
By meoowmom
We know that eating a variety of fruits and vegetables is an excellent way to get essential vitamins and minerals, fiber, and other substances that are important for good health. But what are the best ways to handle fresh fruits and vegetables before eating them?
Here are some things to remember when preparing fruits and vegetables:

NYC summer bucket list: What to do before it's too late
Remember all those big summer plans you made while hiding from yet another polar vortex inside your dark, frigid house a few months ago?
Well, you may feel like the sun has just begun to shine (we sure do), but believe it or not, June has come and gone.
There's still time to enjoy the season, but let's face it: The pressure is on to get through your NYC summer bucket list. We're here to help you prioritize.
Ride the Thunderbolt(Credit: Jeremy Bales)
We know you've been meaning to get to Coney Island, and if the beach, boardwalk, people-watching, classic summer eats (hot dogs, funnel cakes, Italian ices), Brooklyn Cyclones baseball and the aquarium aren't enough motivation, riding the new Thunderbolt roller coaster is a must.
Conduct an ice cream taste test(Credit: Evan Sung)
There's no shortage of ice cream in NYC, but some shops are truly a scoop above the rest. Whether it's an old-fashioned egg crème in Brooklyn or an exotic lychee-flavored cone in Chinatown that wins your vote, you need to narrow down your go-to spot before the prime frozen treat-eating months are through. Start with some of our favorites.
Get out on the river(Credit: Brooklyn Bridge Park via Twitter)
There are plenty of opportunities to explore New York's waterways on kayaks or paddle boats for free, so there's really no excuse to miss out. Hit up the Downtown Boathouse, the Brooklyn Bridge Park Boathouse, the LIC Community Boathouse, Red Hook Boaters, or Kayak Staten Island. Or, check out our list of sports to do on the water, from horseback riding to pedal boating.
Walk the Brooklyn Bridge at midnight(Credit: Getty Images / Henny Ray Abrams)
Ah, summer romance. Looking for a date that's seriously rom-com worthy? Go for a late-night stroll on the Brooklyn Bridge. You'll beat the heat and crowds of tourists that kill the experience during the day, and you may even find you're not as jaded by city life as you thought as you gaze in awe at the skyline lit up in all its glory. (And yes, there will be enough people around that you'll feel safe doing it.)
Want to really impress? Set the mood with a pre-walk dinner at one of these picturesque restaurants.
Buy something unique at a flea market(Credit: Getty Images / Emmanuel Dunand)
Fifth Avenue stores are glam and SoHo boutiques are trendy, but there's nothing cooler than spending a summer day browsing booths for one-of-a-kind purchases, and just happening to stumble upon the perfect piece of antique jewelry or wacky apartment décor.
From Brooklyn's Fort Greene Flea to the Lower East Side's Hester Street Fair, there are plenty to check out .
And if it's your stomach you prefer to shop for, we all know Smorgasburg can't be beat.
Eat lobster on City Island(Credit: City Island Nautical Museum via Facebook)
A true hidden gem of the Bronx, City Island is only about a mile and a half long. But what this quaint summer spot lacks in size, it makes up for in fresh seafood -- especially lobster. Come hungry, because you'll have your fair share of restaurants to choose from. (Just cruise City Island Avenue, and you'll see what we mean.)
Afterward, walk it off along the waterfront, browse the local shops for antiques or learn more about this intriguing place at the City Island Nautical Museum. There is no better way to escape the city on a summer day without leaving the five boroughs.
Roller skate your heart out(Credit: iStock)
Take a trip down memory lane . . . on wheels. For a dose of nostalgia with your exercise, this retro activity can't be beat. Lakeside at Prospect Park or Pier 2 at Brooklyn Bridge Park are two outdoor skating rinks to check out.
Find your zen outside(Credit: Angelito Jusay)
Outdoor yoga classes will be taking place all over the city this summer, from Bryant Park to Brooklyn Bridge Park. Some are even free. Here's a list of different classes to try.
Take a daycation on Governors Island(Credit: Nina Ruggiero)
Yes, we also hate the word "daycation." But that doesn't mean you shouldn't take one.
One of our favorite in-city destinations is Governors Island. Call in sick, hop on the ferry and find yourself in the newly completed park, featuring mini golf, ball fields, bikes, hammocks, beer, food and a spectacular view.
Check govisland.com for special events and exhibits.
10. Catch World Cup fever(Credit: Ribalta)
Whether you're a soccer fan or not, the chance to jump on the bandwagon and get swept up by the infectious passion that the World Cup brings comes just once every four years.
Find the sport a bore? Meet the fans, enjoy the food and drink specials and soak in the revelry at a participating NYC bar or restaurant, and we bet you'll change your mind.
Here's where to watch, based on borough and team loyalty.
Get drunk (responsibly) on a rooftop(Credit: Loren Wohl)
OK, maybe you've accomplished this one already. In fact, maybe you've done it more than once. (You overachiever, you.) But the truth remains that there are so many amazing rooftops in this city, you could spend every weekend at a different one and still not see them all. Every rooftop's vibe, view and cocktail menu is different, but they all come with that natural high caused by fresh air, city lights and the unbeatable feeling that you're on top of the world. Here are some of our favorites.
Join the Bleacher Creatures(Credit: Getty Images / Nick Laham)
True Yankees fans know that Bleacher Creature status isn't simply bought, it's earned. But even if you can't devote yourself to every game, you can join in on a classic experience. Plus you'll be sure to eat well. Here are our Eats by Seat guides for Yankee Stadium and Citi Field.
Watch a movie outdoors(Credit: Irwin Seow)
Cushy theater seats are sooo overrated. From piers to parks to rooftops, there's nothing like grabbing a blanket and watching a movie under the stars. There are still plenty of free flicks to catch all over town, from "Singin' in the Rain" to "Creed." Check out the lineup here.
Go zip lining(Credit: NYC Parks )
It's not your typical NYC activity, but that's what makes zip lining in Queens even more thrilling. Save yourself a trip to the Poconos and head over to the Alley Pond Park Adventure Course, where you can strap on a harness and soar 100 yards through the sky and over a green, open field. Plus, here are some more outdoorsy adventures to try.
Play a team sport(Credit: Paul Brophy)
OK, you may not have time for an entire season of weekday softball games. That doesn't mean you have to miss out! Zog Sports is hosting softball tournaments on Aug. 20, and if you have more time, there are plenty of leagues you can join.
If you're looking for something even more casual, check meetup.com for like-minded athletes.
Or you can go old school and play some pickup basketball on one of the city's public courts.
Rock out at SummerStage(Credit: Michael Galpert via Flickr (CC BY-SA))
For music lovers across genres, free concerts in Central Park are a summertime tradition. See the schedule here.
If you're looking for more low-key entertainment, there's always Shakespeare in the Park. Read up on the secrets of the free shows before you go.
Go for a historical swim(Credit: Getty Images / Mario Tama)
The Parks Department's 55 outdoor pools are free -- and many are great pieces of NYC history. Eleven Olympic-size pools opened in the 1930s under Commissioner Robert Moses. And many are designated landmarks.
So take an opportunity to cool off while learning a bit about our city's past. Find the pool closest to your hot, stuffy apartment.
19. Go tanning, topless(Credit: Nev Brown via Flickr (CC BY-SA))
What? This is a bucket list ... live a little.
Fort Tilden Beach in Queens, known for its, um, lax environment, finally reopened this summer after superstorm Sandy put it out of commission for the 2013 season, so chances are you could use the vitamin D. Plus, there's no better way to explore your inner hipster this season.

Growing Pains: Russian Democracy and the Elections of 1993
€ 58,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
August 1998
BeschreibungThe Russian Federation on December 12, 1993, held its first national election since the collapse of Soviet Communism. The election, to a new, two-chamber parliament, was accompanied by a constitutional referendum. It followed months of wrangling over political and economic reform and a violent showdown in Moscow between President Boris Yeltsin and his opponents. After a bitter campaign in which the government frequently changed the rules of the game, Russians narrowly endorsed Yeltsin's draft constitution, but turned out in large numbers for nationalistic and socialistic opposition parties, leaving Russia's Choice, the party favored by the president, with a small minority of the seats. The contest, with its deeply contradictory results, was a watershed in the evolution of Russia's fledgling democracy. Growing Pains is a detailed study of the 1993 election and of its implications for Russian development and for the country's relations with the West. Several chapters, relying on comprehensive surveys of the Russian electorate, analyze the election process and how social structure and citizen opinions shaped voter choice. Others examine the campaigns of the major parties, the nature and consequences of electoral rules, and the roles of the mass media. Still others examine the campaign and its outcome at the grassroots in ten regions of Russia, from the western provinces to the Pacific coast, demonstrating the significance of local context and local elites and power structures in Russia's transitional politics.
PortraitTimothy J. Colton is professor of government and Russian studies in the Department of Government and director of the Davis Center for Russian Studies at Harvard University, Massachusetts, USA. His previous books include Moscow: Governing the Socialist Metropolis (Harvard, 1995), named best book in government and political science 1995 by the Association of American Publishers. Jerry F. Hough is professor of political science and public policy at and a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. His books include Democratization and Revolution in the USSR, 1985-1991 (Brookings, 1997) and Russia and the West: Gorbachev and Reform (Simon and Schuster, 1988; rev. 1990).

The Future looks bright
The spring/summer runways were a riot of colour, from tangerine to coral, neon lime to violet. Brights are this season's new obsession, as Isabel Dexter reports
Remember the scene in The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy and Toto are somersaulted into the land of the Munchkins after a surprise cyclone uproots her house? Emerging from the black and white world of Kansas, Dorothy suddenly sees everything in sparkling technicolour. This was how it felt to watch the spring/summer 2011 shows. After a winter shrouded in dependable, hard-working basics in the subtlest shades of toffee, cream, beige, and grey, the burst of neon brights on the runways came as a shock to the system.
What happened to the restrained minimalism we learned to love over the winter months? What happened to the clever, understated pieces that proudly called themselves fashion's dirtiest word: practical?
Designer Phoebe Philo welcomed the shift towards dependable clothes. 'I'm into clothes that are practical,' she says. 'I like comfort and easy. I don't need more complications. There are enough challenges.' Wise words, but those of us who still associate beige with boring had to bite our tongues as friends gushed about their oh-so-sensible investment purchases.
'Grown-up dressing is all well and good, but sometimes a girl is straining at the bit for some drama,' says Lucy Knockton of fashion lifestyle consultancy Concierge de Mode. 'Spring's brights bring back that va-va-voom into your wardrobe that we all need after a long, cold winter. There's only so much camel you can take. Bring on the fuschia!'
Designer Carolina Herrera, whose collection of floral appliqués with a Korean twist was inspired by 18th-century botanical prints, agrees. 'We are coming out from a very long season of grey and black and I think women seek colour,' Herrera says. 'This season is about colour.'
Fuschia, tangerine, coral, and violet are the new beige. Indeed, a riot of colour held forth on the spring/summer catwalks. Christopher Kane showed formal jackets and box pleat skirts in acid green. At Prada, bright orange t-shirt dresses were paired with forest green fox furs. Marc Jacobs's fringed metallic shot dresses and cheongsams for Louis Vuitton swished in vivid lilac, orange, yellow and turquoise. It's certainly a season for sunglasses.
Fashion blogger Bryanboy is already a fan of the carnivalesque attitude to colour. 'Raf Simons' show for Jil Sander is one of my favourites this season,' he says. 'I love the bright colours. I love colourblocking, the volume. What a strong collection!'
The elegant, restrained neutrals could still be seen in New York, where Donna Karan and Alexander Wang used bright white, pale rose, olive, ivory and khaki. However, the neutrals contrasted with look-at-me brights, such as the poppy orange splashing on Narciso Rodriguez's blush, white and black palette.
Paco Underhill, author of What Women Want, believes this smattering of shiny, attention-seeking hues is actually a clever ruse by designers to sell more neutrals. 'That's where the money is,' he says, comparing the bright spots to an old-fashioned car dealership. 'I have a convertible in the front window so I can sell sedans off the back lot.'
Oh, but what a pulse-racing, breathlessness-inducing selection of convertibles! Think of the lone, heart-pounding blood-red dress in the sea of whites and blues at Calvin Klein. If you're not really a sedan person, then a fix of the brightest brights is like a liquid sunshine injection. In the current economy, it's natural that we're all craving a healthy dose of hedonism and to-hell-with-it purchasing.
'It's human nature, after so much financial doom and gloom, to want to break forth with a new tide of optimism,' says Julia Rebaudo, a fashion writer for British Elle. 'The new season's collections are all about bright, playful colours and decadent 70s glamour. I especially loved the Topshop Unique collection – all those swirling abstract and floral prints worn with disco hair.'
It's no coincidence that a sweetly naïve sense of optimism is a common thread running through these collections. At Sonia Rykiel, the girls wore retro sunglasses, huge smiles and fluffed up curls as they bounced down the runway to the sounds of the Stranglers singing Golden Brown. Amidst the tan, yellow, pink and orange striped wool dresses, knitted candy-stripe knickers and cartoonish wide-legged trousers, there was no space for cynicism.
Similarly at Cacharel, designer Cedric Charlier called his orange, pink and yellow racer-back vests and painterly printed tunic dresses a celebration of 'euphoria with colour'. High-energy, wild splashes of neon brights and tangy, juice-bright hues looked as though they were made of pure sunshine. The future looks very bright indeed.
