Organic Turkey Breast
All of the flavour, none of the fuss!
For fans of white meat – as well as fans of hassle-free cooking – Coombe Farm Organic turkey breast is just the ticket. Choose from 2kg, 3kg or 4kg joints, perfect for feeding between 4 and 8 hungry guests. Our butchers have carefully removed the breast from the turkey carcass leaving no bones behind. That makes cooking straightforward and carving a doddle. We've left the skin on to keep the joint moist as it cooks and give you the lovely contrasting texture of crispy skin and tender, juicy meat.
- Delivered frozen
This product currently has limited availablity. Call us on 01460 279509 for more info.
Coombe Farm Organic turkeys are all Kelly Bronze birds, reared in an organic, free-range farming system. We've chosen the traditional Bronze for it's distinctive flavour and even distribution of meat across the carcass. To get really flavoursome turkey with great texture and character, our birds are grown slowly to 24 weeks. They eat a natural diet and their active lifestyle means they have strong muscles and robust skeletons. Once slaughtered, we hang the carcasses for at least 10 days. This allows the meat to mature and flavours to intensify.

The cut off period to get your order the next day is 12pm any order placed after that time will be delivered after 2 days.

Our products are sent to our customers frozen because when we started the business we looked into convenience for our customers. We found that sending the produce frozen meant that they could order for instance a month's worth of produce and could go into their freezer until they are ready to use it. It also meant that there was less risk to the meat whilst been delivered as fresh meat can be delicate and risky.
All of our meat is butchered in house. In December 2018 our in-house butcher was built which means that we have full control of what is cut and also means that we can accommodate more requests from our customers.
You will find all the ingredients on the relevant product pages.
We have a dedicated page which explains all the different cuts and where they come from. Find out more here www.coombefarmorganic.co.uk
Can't Find the Answer?
If you cannot find the answer to your question and would like to speak to someone contact us and we will be happy to help.
Cooking your organic turkey breast is really straightforward, but make sure you remember it'll take far less time than a whole bird. Being careful with your timing will ensure you get a really succulent piece of meat. We reckon on about 30 minutes per kilo, plus an extra 20 minutes, in an oven heated to 190°C. Of course, all oven vary and the temperature of a full oven may not be so reliable. So check the breast is cooked by piercing the thickest part and checking the juices run clear. If you've got a thermometer, aim to remove the joint when it reaches an internal temperature of about 70°C. Once out of the oven, wrap the breast in foil and cover with a tea towel, giving it a rest for about half an hour. During this time it will continue to cook in the residual heat and the juices will distribute evenly. This means it'll be easy to carve and delicious to eat.

I had a doctor's appointment last night, and my heart was so happy when I left. Thanks be to God, I have reached that "full term" marker, and although two weeks remain until my official due date, we are all very aware that Baby 3 could be joining us any second now. My suitcase is partially packed, a new carseat has been purchased, a freshly laundered stack of soft pastel-colored baby pajamas and dresses is tucked safely away in the closet, and I have pre-registered at the hospital. All that remains is to go through and organize that last tub of randomness that I collected from the four corners of our home as I waged war on every last piece of clutter we own – I adore the nesting phase of pregnancy and use its power to conquer every possible area of my little world. Mr. Gore and I have accomplished more in the past three weeks than I think we have since we moved into our house on the hill, and I have loved every second.
Anyway, I hid that tub in our master closet last week, and its final demise is scheduled for tonight. Once we have sparred and I am left victor, my duties will be complete and I will be free to indulge in one last wish…
Snuggle the living daylights out of my first- and second-born.
All of these preparations for our soon-to-be addition have caused me to go into that introspective mode that I am sure my husband adores. He looked at me last night in the car and said "Why the sad face?" Sad face? I didn't realize I was making a sad face. I pulled down the visor mirror – yep. Ugly sad face. My thoughts had carried me far away to the place where my memory entraps me and causes me to stick my bottom lip out…something I never realize I'm doing until Chris says something like "why the sad face?"
But I wasn't sad. I was doing something else that makes my bottom lip stick out, for whatever reason. I was just…musing. Concentrating. Remembering….
If you just ignore the science and the hormones and the chemicals for a second and look objectively at what happens when you deliver a babe into the world, there is something downright magical about it; that moment when your body finally decides the time has come is one that freezes time…everything slows down a bit and there you are in a darkened room, laboring, working, toiling to bring forth life…
Thus when a Mother Hen like myself looks back on those monumental occasions, the memory is as intact as any memory could be. Like the Ghost of Christmas Present, I can return to them and watch, transfixed, heart stilled, breath caught in my throat, as I revisit the nights that my greatest treasures made their way from my womb to my oh-so-ready arms.
And so, as we drove through the streets of Tulsa, Chris like a normal person, watching the traffic with his lip not stuck out, I was somewhere else, communing with my past, bottom lip on display, sentimentality threatening to pour from my eyes in the form of salty tears.
Over the next few days (unless I go into labor tonight!), when I am not smothering Gideon and Rebekah with kisses, I will be sharing those memories bit by bit, drawing not only from my mental diary but from the yearly newsletter I send out to my closest friends and family members. You'll be hearing more about that newsletter, The Harry Herald, in the near…or distant (What?…I'm my own editor!)…future, as it has been my main source of chronicling our moments and our days for the past six years. Every noteworthy detail of my pregnancies and deliveries has been recorded on its pages. I'm excited to share these stories with you not because I experienced something unique that others have not (except for the tick on my back and the postpartum carpel tunnel syndrome), but because life….is beautiful. It is so precious. And I love to talk about it.
Some of these memories are hilarious, some are disgusting, and some are so sweet they make my heart ache…
Can't wait to see them again.

May 19th Meetup – 7:30 PM – Charles Lowell
As the saying goes, "April showers bring May showers." They also bring you another JavaScript meetup! Local markup slinger Charles Lowell will be giving a talk titled "
on('input'): dealing with data from your user in real-time… as in like forms, actually."
Dealing with forms in a stateful UI can be a nightmare. While most of the major frameworks focus on their hot new rendering hotness, they uniformly pass the buck when it comes to handling user input. More often than not, you're on your own, armed with nothing but callbacks when it comes to the complexities of wrangling networks of textfields, checkboxes and other custom components into robust, valid data structures that the rest of your app can use. In this talk, we'll explore how to bring just a little more sanity to our forms by looking for help in an unlikely place: those same advances in rendering that have pushed the state of the art so far forward these past few years.
Charles has been delivering bullet-proof software for over 18 years. An avid contributor to open source, he founded the Frontside in 2005 to help businesses deliver game-changing user interfaces to their customers. Also, he really, really, really, really likes to code. Really.
Big thanks to uShip for the food and drinks this month.
As always, thank you Frog for graciously hosting. You folks are great.
- When: Tuesday, May 19th, 2015 from 7:30-9:00 PM.
- Where: Frog Design – 101 West 6th Street – 2nd Floor
- How: Parking is on the street, or you can bus, bike, rollerblade, segway, jet ski, or walk yourself down there and just not worry about it.
- Drinks and pizza will be provided.
- Code of Conduct
Afterwards, the discussion carries on a few blocks away at The Gingerman, where they have over 70 beers on tap.
If you've got any questions or suggestions, feel free to contact Aaron (@aaronj1335) or Lon (@lawnsea). Also, be sure to follow us on Twitter: @AustinJS

My legs beg me to stop but we must keep running. Sharp winds cut and pierce my skin. The snow makes this difficult.
"Keep running! Save yourself!"
An entire pack approaches: thundering hooves, glimmering eyes. His grip loosens. Menacing eyes and white breath envelop me.
I know what comes next.

The prosecution in north Lebanon issued a decision Friday to expand their investigation into the death of Roula Yaacoub, who was found beaten and comatose last year after reportedly being attacked by her husband.
The prosecution also called on a number of witnesses to testify in court Monday. Yaacoub, 31, died upon arrival at the hospital after she was allegedly severely beaten in her home in Halba, Akkar.
According to her relatives and neighbors, her husband Karam al-Bazzi beat his wife and their five daughters on a regular basis, but a report issued earlier this year concluded that she did not die as a result of beating, and Bazzi was released shortly afterward.
The decision was met with protest by her family and women's rights organizations who said the report was tampered with.

Ward, J.R. Lover Avenged. (New York: Penguin, 2009). ISBN – 9780451225856.
Main Characters: Rehvenge and Ehlena
Related Works: This is part of J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Other books in the series include the following:
- Dark Lover – Wrath and Beth Randall's story
- Lover Eternal – the story of Rhage and Mary Luce
- Lover Awakened – Zsadist and Bella's story
- Lover Revealed – Butch O'Neal and Marissa's story
- Lover Unbound – the story of Vishous and Dr. Jane Whitcomb
- Lover Enshrined – the story of Phury and Cormia
- Lover Avenged – the story of Rehvenge and Ehlena
Description from book:
Caldwell, New York, has long been the battleground for the vampires and their enemies, the Lessening Society. It's also where Rehvenge has staked out his turf as a drug lord and owner of a notorious nightclub that caters to the rich and heavily armed. His shadowy reputation is exactly why he's approached to kill Wrath, the Blind King and leader of the Brotherhood.
Rehvenge has always kept his distance from the Brotherhood, even though his sister is married to a member. Because he's a sympath, his identity is a deadly secret – the revelation of which could result in his banishment to a colony for sociopaths. As plots within and outside the Brotherhood take their toll on Rehvenge, he turns to the only source of list in his darkening world – Ehlena, a vampire untouched by the corruption that has its hold on him – and the only thing standing between him and eternal destruction.
My Thoughts:
Rehvenge has been a rather shady, but fascinating, figure in the world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. He is the local drug lord in Caldwell, New York. He works out of the club he owns called ZeroSum which is the place to find drugs, alcohol, and sex. He is a rather fearsome character – although we do see how much he cares for his sister in previous books. He is addicted to drugs that he must use to control his sympath tendencies. He isn't a member of the Brotherhood, but he definitely works closely with them. He has an equally fascinating group of people surrounding him – Xhex, Tres and iAm. Beyond the surface of his rather degenerate-seeming lifestyle, we find out about that he is being blackmailed. He must pay a hefty cost to his half-sister each month to keep his secrets safe. He is certainly a tortured soul, an I have definitely been looking forward to his story for quite some time.
I am very addicted to this series. I love the overall story arc, the members of the Brotherhood, Rehvenge and most of the individual titles. I thoroughly enjoyed Lover Avenged. I thought it was a fitting story for Rehvenge – and that it did justice to the continuing battle between the vampires and the lessers. I really liked the glimpse into the life and mind of Rehvenge. While I did get a bit tired of his sable coat, I did fall further in love with him as I got further into the story. I was ok with Ehlena as his mate. But as with most of Ward's books, I felt that the female heroine was a bit less developed. Part of this could be because Ward has been developing Rehvenge's character for several books – and Ehlena made her first appearance in this book.
My one complaint about this book is that the time given to the love story of Rehvenge and Ehlena seemed quite small. In addition to their story, there is a lot of other stuff going on – Wrath's return to fighting/trouble dealing with his role as king, Xhex and John's developing relationship, Lash's plot to take over Caldwell's drug trade, the glymera's plot to assassinate Wrath, and Tohrment's return to the Brotherhood. I had the same reaction to the last book, Lover Enshrined – the primary romance between the hero and the heroine didn't seem to to the primary focus of the book. Fortunately, I enjoyed Lover Avenged much more than Lover Enshrined.
I am bummed that we have to wait to find out about Lash's abduction of Xhex and about Xhex's and John's growing relationship. I suppose it is a testament of how much I love this series that I get sad when I finish a book because there are so many unanswered questions!

Product Key...
Hi folks!
Have not been here for a while. Been having some 'extraterrestrial' medical experiences, but, made it through them.
Sure could use some help with an install issue.
Have some friends (husband and wife) that want me to do a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit version (OS currently on their PC).
Their son installed the current system, and lost their Product Key. The computer previously had XP on it, and that is on the COA sticker. Have been looking for a Product Key, but some of these look rather dubious. This morning I called Microsoft, and they no longer sell anything for W7. What a surprise!
Anyone have any idea of where a legal retail Product Key for W7 Ultimate 32bit could be purchased?
Thanks much for the help!! :)

Glad to see your back.
First off; you can't just buy a legal COA key by itself. Legal keys are sold with the DVD use to install with.
If the computer has Windows 7 already installed and has one of these you can use that key.
Another option would be to use a free program called Belarc. It will show the COA key that was used to install and activate the installed Windows 7. If that COA key is proper you can use it for a Clean Install.

Thank you ALL, for the replies! :)
Used them all, and confirmed and re-confirmed the Product Key.
However, there is a new twist in the situation. The son cannot find the CD/DVD. He installed the OS while he was in college, and got the OS as a free promotion from Microsoft. Has no idea of whether he had a CD/DVD or whether it was a download.

The links are good for a limited time. After you download the ISO, is there a limited time in which one needs to use it? Or, can you keep it for future use?
Too late right now, but, will go to my friends home tomorrow and give this a whirl, since the Product Key is now available.

text: For Easter I wanted to find images that just spoke of everything beautiful, everything good, everything positive and resurrection-filled. I thought of this stunning picture taken at the flower market in Aix-en-Provence on our pilgrimage last September, and I thought of this happy picture of my nephew Gareth and his wife of eight months Sara. I know the pictures don't show Jesus, at least not explicitly. But St Paul says that in the Resurrection we have a new creation. Well, if the flowers of the old one are this beautiful, what must you and I, the new creation really be like? And surely the happiness of committed love is a direct reflection and expression of Easter joy.A very Happy Easter to everyone - and thanks for the pictures, Paul and Gareth and Sara.

Back in the 1987/88 season both Huddersfield Town and Manchester City were playing one another in the old Division 2, but it took two FA Cup replays and a few goals for one to venture into the next round.
There won't be two replays this year but I wonder if the final result on Saturday will see anything similar?
Season 1987/88
Huddersfield Town's 1987/88 campaign is statistically Town's worst ever season in their league history. Town won only 6 league games all season, had their heaviest ever defeat in their history, (Man City 10-1 Huddersfield) conceded 100 league goals in the season and finished 19 points adrift of safety and even 14 points behind 2nd-bottom team Reading. Both of the two managers during the season, Steve Smith and Malcolm Macdonald both failed miserably and Macdonald is regarded as one of the worst managers in Town's history (taken from Wiki).
Manchester City 1987/88 campaign saw the club finish a disappointing ninth while Millwall finished the season as champions. Aston Villa and Middlesbrough followed closely behind.
MCFC found themselves in Round 6 of the FA Cup however, Liverpool humiliated City 4-0 at Maine Road.
In the Wembley final the Merseyside lot came unstuck when unfancied Wimbledon won 1-0. Ah, those were the days.
January 25th 1988

Key match stats (supplied by Opta)
Huddersfield and City have been paired together twice before in the FA Cup – City were victorious in both ties (Round 4 in 1925/26 and Round 3 in 1987/88, though they needed two replays).
The Terriers have failed to score in three of their previous four FA Cup games with Manchester City.
This is the first game between the two clubs in any competition since February 2000, when they played out a 1-1 draw in the second tier. Clyde Wijnhard opened the scoring before Shaun Goater equalised for City.
Town haven't gone beyond the fifth round of the FA Cup since 1971/72.
Come on CITY!

The first test of the Cairo agreement is the return of the crossings to PA control & resolving the humanitarian crisis in #Gaza
This afternoon I met with Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah and Deputy Prime Minister Ziad Abu Amr to discuss the implementation of the intra-Palestinian agreement that was signed in Cairo on 12 October.
The agreement provides for the return of the crossings of Gaza to the Palestinian Authority by 1 November. The timely and effective implementation of this provision and concrete steps to alleviate the humanitarian crisis will be critical for effectively empowering the Palestinian Government in Gaza.
The United Nations will continue working with the Palestinian leadership, Egypt and the region in support of this process, which is critical for reaching a negotiated two-state solution and sustainable peace.
Third report on the implementation of #UN Security Council Resolution #2334
Today I delivered the third report under UNSCR 2334 to the Security Council. In it I focused on developments on the ground in accordance with the provisions of the resolution, including on regional and international efforts to advance the peace process.
During the reporting period, Israel did not "cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and fully respect all of its legal obligations in this regard," as called for by the resolution. Since 20 June, Israel's illegal settlement activities have continued at a high rate, a consistent pattern over the course of this year.
Activity during this period settlement activity was concentrated primarily in occupied East Jerusalem, where plans were advanced for over 2,300 housing units in July, 30 per cent more than for the whole of 2016. This includes plans for some 1,600 units expanding a ring of settlements north of East Jerusalem as well as in the Palestinian neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, adjacent to the Old City. While no plans were advanced in Area C during the reporting period, in early September construction resumed on the new settlement of Amihai, in the heart of the West Bank.
The reporting period witnessed the eviction of a Palestinian family in Sheikh Jarrah, residents for over fifty years, after a protracted legal battle. The building is located in a section of the neighborhood in which several settlement plans were among those promoted in July. Eviction proceedings are under way for some 180 Palestinian families in East Jerusalem, over 60 of whom reside in Sheikh Jarrah.
Meanwhile, according to OCHA, the destruction of Palestinian-owned property across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, continued, albeit at a significantly lower rate. Overall since the beginning of 2017, 344 structures have been demolished, a third of them in East Jerusalem, displacing some 500 people.
In Area C of the occupied West Bank in August, three educational facilities, serving 175 children, were demolished or confiscated, citing the lack of building permits, which are virtually impossible for Palestinians to obtain.
On 25 July, in the city of Hebron, 15 Israeli families illegally occupied the Abu Rajab/Machpelah House despite ongoing legal proceedings over its ownership. On 27 August, the Israeli Government notified the High Court of Justice that it would evict the settlers within one week, however this process has been put on hold by a temporary injunction issued by the Court.
In other related developments, on 26 July an amendment to the "Basic Law: Jerusalem the Capital of Israel" passed a first reading in the Knesset. If approved, this law would further cement Israeli control over East Jerusalem.
On 17 August, the High Court of Justice issued a temporary injunction formally postponing application of the so-called "Regularisation law".
Later this month, on 31 August, a military order was issued establishing a "civil services administration" that upgrades the status of settlements in the H2 area of Hebron, further consolidating Israeli presence there and reinforcing the existing separation and division of this highly volatile area, where some 500 Israelis live among some 40,000 Palestinians.
The United Nations considers all settlement activities to be illegal under international law and an impediment topeace. Resolution 2334 states that the international community will not recognize any changes to the 4 June 1967 lines, including with regard to Jerusalem, other than those agreed to by the parties themselves through negotiations.
Moving on to the issue of violence, I noted that it persists as one of the main obstacles to resolving the conflict. Resolution 2334 calls on all sides to prevent such acts and to strengthen efforts to combat terrorism, including through existing security coordination.
Although the reporting period was characterized by relatively low levels of fatalities, a number of incidents occurred, particularly related to the unrest following the fatal 14 July attack against two Israeli policemen in Jerusalem's Old City. During the reporting period, 19 Palestinians, five of whom were in Area A of the West Bank, were killed in attacks, clashes and Israeli military operations. Eight Israelis were killed in clashes and attacks, including the three Israeli-Arab perpetrators of the 14 July attack, who were killed by the security forces. Of the 19 Palestinian fatalities, five were killed during protests and subsequent clashes related to the unrest in Jerusalem. On 21 July, a Palestinian brutally murdered three members of an Israeli family in a terrorist attack in the West Bank settlement of Halamish.
In a reaction to the events at the Holy Esplanade, on 21 July, Palestinian President Abbas declared a freeze of all contacts with Israel on all levels, including security coordination.
After three months of quiet, on 26 June, 23 July and 8 August – Palestinian militants fired rockets towards Israel with no injuries reported. In response, Israeli Defence Forces conducted five airstrikes in Gaza, resulting in three Palestinians being injured. On 17 August, one Palestinian was killed by a suicide bomber, who was also killed, close to the Egyptian border in Gaza. This appears to be the first suicide bombing affecting Hamas forces in Gaza.
During the reporting period settler related violence also continued. Some twenty-five incidents were documented, the majority involving the vandalization of Palestinian agricultural property around Nablus, and assaults against Palestinians in or around Hebron. Meanwhile, at least 21 Palestinian attacks also took place against Israeli settlers resulting in casualties or property damage.
Punitive demolitions also continued during the reporting period with Israeli authorities demolishing five homes belonging to families of Palestinian perpetrators of attacks.
The reporting period also witnessed a shrinking space for civil society and freedom of expression.
On 24 June, the Palestinian President issued, by decree, the Cybercrime Law. Since then at least six journalists, one human rights activist in Hebron and a number of others have reportedly been arrested. While most have been subsequently released, these arrests raise strong concerns that the law is being used to curtail freedom of expression.
In Gaza, a social media activist was arrested by Hamas on 3 July and detained for almost two weeks on charges of incitement against the de facto authorities, while a journalist was detained for more than two months on unclear allegations of "collaboration" with the authorities in Ramallah.
Security Council resolution 2334 called upon both parties to refrain from acts of provocation, incitement, and inflammatory rhetoric, and to condemn all acts of terrorism. At the height of the July crisis around the holy sites of Jerusalem, officials and representatives on all sides employed provocative rhetoric.
In the midst of what were largely peaceful protests, Hamas and senior Palestinian Authority officials called for an escalation and a "day of rage" across the occupied Palestinian territory. Hamas and others continued to openly glorify attacks, describing the murder of three Israelis at their home in Halamish as "heroic."
Meanwhile, President Abbas explicitly condemned the 14 July attack, and, in an attempt to calm tensions at the holy sites, some Palestinian leaders and religious authorities on both sides called on protestors to avoid violence and provocation.
With regard to settlements, Israeli officials continued to use provocative rhetoric in support of expansion. On 3 August, the Israeli Prime Minister delivered an inaugural speech at the launch of construction for 1,000 new housing units in the Beitar Ilit settlement in which he praised the achievements of his Government in promoting settlement construction. On the 28th of August, he said that "there will be no more uprooting of settlements in the land of Israel (…) we will deepen our roots, build, strengthen and settle". Other senior Israeli politicians also made repeated calls for annexation of the West Bank, with one Member of Knesset expressing his desire to "destroy" hopes for Palestinian statehood, and stated that "there is room to define and realize the national aspirations of one people only — the Jewish people."
Resolution 2334 also reiterated the call by the Middle East Quartet for both parties to take steps to "reverse negative trends on the ground that are imperiling the two-state solution."
On 10 July, an interim power purchasing agreement was signed between the Palestinian and the Israeli Electricity companies, energizing the first Palestinian-owned and operated substation in Jenin and allowing for an increase in electricity supply in the northern West Bank.
On 13 July, the United States facilitated an agreement between the Palestinian Authority and Israel allowing for an increase in water supply for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, as part of the 2013 Red Sea-Dead Sea Water Conveyance Project.
Moving on to Gaza, I noted that the situation there remains extremely fragile. The chronic energy deficit has been substantially worsened by the decision of the Palestinian Authority to reduce electricity supply to the Strip. While Egyptian fuel has enabled the Gaza Power Plant to resume operations, electricity supply is still down to about four hours per day.
Basic services in some 190 health, water and sanitation facilities, continue to rely on back-up generators powered by United Nations-provided fuel. As part of the Gaza Emergency Appeal issued in July, an additional USD 4 million from the United Nations Central Emergency response fund has been released to support critical services. The appeal is now 51 per cent funded.
To end the standoff, the Palestinian Authority has remained firm in its demands for Hamas to dissolve the Administrative Committee it established in March 2017, and allow the Government of National Consensus to take up its responsibilities in Gaza. On 17 September, Hamas officially accepted these conditions. It now remains to be seen whether the agreement will be implemented and electricity supply will be restored to Gaza.
I informed the Council that I had just returned from a trip to Gaza and would like to report on developments there during closed consultations.
During the reporting period there have been no developments related to Member States' distinguishing, in their relevant dealings, between the territory of the State of Israel and the territories it occupied in 1967.
Meanwhile, the international community has continued its efforts to advance the goal of peace as well as the deteriorating situation in Gaza.
The Envoys of the Middle East Quartet continue to meet to discuss current efforts to advance peace as well as the deteriorating situation in Gaza. In August, a US delegation travelled to the Middle East and met with regional interlocutors, with a focus on reviving the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. All parties agreed to continue working toward a sustainable peace and to promote security and stability across the region.
Shortly thereafter, on August 27th, the Secretary-General arrived in the region for his first official visit to Israel and Palestine. He strongly reaffirmed the United Nations position that there is no alternative to the two-state solution and suggested a three-track approach to end the occupation and advance the prospects for peace: firstly, a serious political process with a clear end goal — two states living side-by-side in peace and mutual recognition; secondly, a simultaneous effort to improve the socio-economic conditions of Palestinians; and thirdly, active engagement with regional partners. He conveyed his personal commitment to help the parties return to meaningful negotiations, based on relevant United Nations resolutions, international law and prior agreements.
In September, Egypt hosted delegations from Hamas and Fatah in an effort to advance Palestinian unity, which led to the breakthrough decision by the de facto-Gaza leadership to dissolve the Administrative Committee and invite the Government to return to the Strip.
On 18 September, Norway convened the Ad-Hoc Liaison Committee in New York with Palestinian Deputy Prime Minister Ziad Abu Amr, PA Minister of Finance and Planning Shukri Bishara and Israeli Minister of Regional Cooperation Tzahi Hanegbi, in attendance. The meeting agreed that additional concerted action was needed to make progress on fiscal sustainability, economic development and Gaza reconstruction and recovery. It was also noted that socioeconomic conditions cannot be adequately addressed without progress in the peace process.
In closing, I shared some broad observations on the reporting period.
- Continuing settlement expansion, most notably during this period in occupied East Jerusalem, is making the two-state solution increasingly unattainable and undermining Palestinian belief in the international peace efforts. In addition to illegal settlements, the practice of demolishing Palestinian structures in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and displacing Palestinians undermines the prospects of peace.
- Continued violence against civilians and incitement perpetuate mutual fear and suspicion, while impeding any efforts to bridge the gaps between the two sides. I once again urge both parties to demonstrate their commitment to rejecting violence, inflammatory rhetoric and provocative actions.
- The Jenin agreement was an important first step towards a comprehensive Israeli-Palestinian power purchasing agreement that would lead to greater Palestinian energy autonomy. I encourage Israelis and Palestinians to fully implement the Red Sea-Dead Sea agreement to enable delivery of much-needed water to the West Bank and Gaza.
- While all initiatives to improve the Palestinian economy are welcome, much more needs to be done, as part of a political process aimed at establishing a Palestinian state. Economic development, critical as it is, is no substitute for sovereignty and statehood. As the Secretary-General has called for, efforts aimed at achieving both must proceed in parallel.
- Intra-Palestinian reconciliation remains critical to preventing the continuing militant buildup and restoring hope for the future. In this respect, I welcome the recent statement by Hamas announcing the dissolution of the Administrative Committee in Gaza and agreement to allow the Government of National Consensus to assume its responsibilities in the strip.
- I commended the Egyptian authorities for their tireless efforts in creating this positive momentum. All parties must seize this opportunity to restore unity and open a new page for the Palestinian people. This should facilitate the removal of Israeli closures on Gaza, in line with Security Council Resolution 1860. The United Nations, as always, stands ready to assist all efforts in this process.
- It is critical that the grave humanitarian situation in Gaza, most notably the crippling electricity crisis, be addressed as a priority as well.
In closing I said that collective and determined action by the parties, the region and the international community is needed to initiate a serious political process, drawing upon all relevant UN resolutions, that will realize a two-state solution, ending the occupation and resolving all final status issues.
As the Secretary-General said on his recent visit, "the international community cannot simply turn away and allow the situation to deteriorate. We have a role and a responsibility to support the parties in resolving this conflict." With that responsibility comes an obligation, an obligation to do what is necessary to establish a peaceful, prosperous and secure future – for Palestinians, for Israelis and for the entire region.
#Gaza faces dire power crisis, health services deteriorate, untreated sewage pouring into the sea
On May 26th I briefed the UN Security Council on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question. This is a regular monthly briefing, which updates the Security Council on what has been happening on the ground in the past month. Last month it was focused on a broader overview of developments in the region. This month most of it was focused on the situation in Gaza, where we are walking into another crisis with our eyes wide open. I warned the Security Council that unless urgent measures are taken to de-escalate, the crisis risks spiraling out of control with devastating consequences for Palestinians and Israelis alike.
Since Hamas established an Administrative Committee in March, a parallel institution to run governmental affairs in Gaza,
the intra-Palestinian political tug-of-war has led to a significant deterioration in relations between Fatah and Hamas.
The result is a significant worsening of the humanitarian crisis which risks exploding into another conflict that can only begin to be resolved by compromise, by the implementation of intra-Palestinian agreements and an ending of the closures.
In April, the Palestinian Government upheld its decision to reduce salary allowances to nearly 60,000 public sector employees in Gaza. While the Government needs to ensure its fiscal sustainability under increasingly difficult economic conditions, it is important that reforms or decisions to reduce expenditures are fairly distributed and made with consideration to the harsh conditions in Gaza.
Gaza is also in the midst of an unprecedented energy crisis. The power plant, that supplies 30 per cent of Gaza's electricity, stopped functioning on 16 April, due to a dispute between the Palestinian Authority and Hamas over taxation on fuel.
The lines supplying power from Egypt into Gaza are often down for technical reasons. This leaves Israeli power lines, which provide some 60 per cent of Gaza's electricity, as the only reliable energy source. Meanwhile the Palestinian Government has decided to cap its purchase of electricity from Israel for Gaza. If implemented, this decision will further reduce electricity supply to Gaza by some 30per cent, plunging its population into a spiral of a humanitarian catastrophe.
Since April, the majority of Palestinians in Gaza are receiving about four hours of electricity per day. How long do you think they can survive if this is further reduced to two hours of electricity per day? Who will pay the price of the ensuing violence and escalation? It will certainly not be those who live a life of exemptions and privilege.
The price will be paid by poor Palestinians, by women and children, by people already traumatized by conflict, who have been held hostage for a decade now. They are the ones who will not have access to electricity, to water, to health services and sanitation.
No one has interest in another conflict in Gaza.
And everyone has a responsibility to avoid it. For months, the UN has warned that without addressing the structural problems of Gaza's electricity supply we would face a humanitarian crisis. Those warnings are now a reality. I illustrated what that reality looks like.
Hospitals are now forced to postpone elective surgeries and have already reduced 80 per cent of cleaning, catering and sterilization services. Had it not been for the timely UN humanitarian intervention on April 27 to provide emergency fuel for generators some 51 surgical and obstetric operation theaters, five hemodialysis centers and a number of emergency departments would have had to close.
Since mid-April desalination plants are functioning at 15% of their capacity and drinking water is supplied for a few hours every 2-4 days.
100,000 cubic meters of raw sewage are discharged into the Mediterranean Sea on a daily basis. This is the equivalent of 40 Olympic-size swimming pools of sewage. Untreated. Daily. An environmental disaster for Israel, for Egypt and Gaza is in the making.
Food prices are soaring as the price of water for irrigation has gone up by 65per cent. The manufacturing sector is grinding to a halt and over half of private industry workers have been suspended.
The UN is working determinedly to mitigate the humanitarian impact of this crisis.
A UN-managed emergency fuel operation is delivering fuel to essential services for water, health and sanitation – but our reserves will run-out in the coming weeks. It can only temporarily alleviate the suffering of the most vulnerable, but is no substitute for a sustainable solution. Defusing the current energy crisis will require compromise on all sides, including tax concessions on fuel for the power plant and a profound reform of how energy is supplied in Gaza.
The Palestinian Authority, Hamas – which has controlled Gaza for a decade – and Israel, all have obligations for the welfare of Gaza's residents and must live up to their responsibilities to address the crisis and overcome political impasse.
Over the past weeks, I have engaged with the parties and our international partners to find both a solution to the immediate electricity challenges, but also to address the broader political challenge of returning Gaza to the control of the legitimate Palestinian authorities.
In another troubling development, allow me to join the High Commissioner for Human Rights in condemning yesterday's executions of three men in Gaza in contravention of international law. These executions bring to 28 the number of death sentences carried out since the Hamas takeover in 2007, with nine just in the last year.
Turning to the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict, I noted that in recent weeks we have seen more tragic examples of the human toll that this conflict inflicting, with 6 Palestinians killed in various acts of violence.
I expressed my concern at the ongoing hunger strike by Palestinian detainees protesting against their conditions in Israeli jails, which, on the eve of the Ramadan, has now entered its 40th day. According to reports, the Israel Prison Service has evacuated at least 60 hunger-striking prisoners to hospitals because their medical condition had worsened, while another close to 600 prisoners have been moved to infirmaries set up in the prisons.
Reports of punitive measures against the hunger strikers, including restricted access to lawyers and the denial of family visits, are alarming. The right of detainees to access a lawyer is a right that should never be curtailed.
I am glad that a day after my briefing to the Security Council,
it was confirmed by the ICRC that the hunger strike has ended.
On 4 May the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee met in Brussels to discuss the key socio-economic challenges faced by the Palestinian Authority. Regrettably, a number of key issues remained unresolved between the parties on access and movement, energy, water and fiscal sustainability. While many of the solutions are technical, ultimately, the decisions to implement them are political.
I encouraged that in recent weeks the Israeli and Palestinian Ministers of Finance have come together in an effort to move these issues forward. Their fruitful consultations, the first meeting of the Joint Water Committee in seven years and the progress in the implementation of last year's landmark Electricity Agreement are positive steps that need to be encouraged and supported.
I also took note of recently announced Israeli measures designed to help the Palestinian economy in the West Bank. These steps reportedly include the proposed zoning of land in Area C adjacent to several Palestinian cities, for their residential, industrial and agricultural use; development of industrial zones in Tarkumiya and Hebron; as well as expanding the hours of operation of the Allenby Bridge Crossing. These are positive steps that also need to be substantially expanded if they are to achieve the desired effect.
Before closing, I turned very briefly to Lebanon and the Golan. Regrettably,
the Lebanese Parliament has not yet reconvened
following its one-month adjournment of 12 April. Agreement on an electoral law remains elusive, less than a month before Parliament's tenure ends on 20 June. Hopefully negotiations can be finalized in time to avoid institutional instability and to allow for the holding of elections in accordance with the Constitution.
In the Golan, the ceasefire between Israel and the Syrian Arab Republic has been maintained, albeit in a volatile environment attributable to the ongoing conflict in Syria and against the backdrop of continued military activity across the ceasefire line. This has included incidents of spillover and retaliatory fire as well as Israeli air strikes in Syria targeting Hizbullah.
Both Israel and the Syrian Arab Republic have stated their continued commitment to the Disengagement of Forces Agreement and support for the full return of UNDOF to the area of separation, conditions permitting.
In closing, I said a few words on efforts to advance the prospects for peace. As the conflict has ebbed and flowed, the key messages to both sides from the United Nations, including through its role in the Quartet, and the broader international community, have remained clear, consistent and firm.
Above all, Israel's almost 50-year occupation and settlement enterprise are untenable and must end through meaningful negotiations that address all final status issues. Their perpetuation is sending an unmistakable message to another generation of Palestinians that their dream of statehood is destined to remain just that, a dream, and to Israelis that their desire for peace, security and regional recognition also remains unattainable.
Still, much can and must be done. Israel can undertake transformative steps to improve the daily lives of Palestinians, to empower the Palestinian leadership, and to move meaningfully towards a negotiated resolution of the conflict, in accordance with international law and Security Council resolutions.
Palestinians, too, should heed the repeated calls to combat violence and incitement. Internally, they must also rise to the challenge of forging a genuine reconciliation – critical to advancing peace and fulfilling their national aspirations.
This summer will mark ten years since the 2007 Hamas violent take-over of the Gaza Strip. The past decade has seenGaza's infrastructure, its basic services and private sector gradually debilitated, its economy weakened with real GDP per capita and employment decreasing, and the gender gap continuing to grow. Gaza faces a downward spiral of de-development. The widening socio-economic gap between Gaza and the West Bank further highlights the need to end the drivers of this inhumane and volatile situation. Deteriorating conditions only fuel anger and instability, strengthen extremists and undermine chances for a serious political process.
If Israelis and Palestinians hope to extract themselves from the immeasurable burden this conflict has wrought, they must be willing to take the painful steps that will ultimately lead to peace. Neither side can afford another missed opportunity.

Fiscal Sustainability, #Palestinian Development and #Gaza Energy Crisis at Centre of AHLC Discussions in Brussels
On 4 May Norway and the EU hosted a meeting of the Ad Hoc Liason Committee (AHLC) in Brussels. The Committee meets twice a year to coordinate international efforts in support of Palestnian development. In a day of bilater meetings, including with Israel and the Palestnian Authority, participants review what has been achieved and what is pending. It was also an opportunity to welcome newly appointed US Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt.
In my remarks I started by looking at the context in which our discussions took place. The impasse of the Middle East Peace Process has pushed both Israelis and Palestinians to take unilateral steps that drive them further away from each other and reduce the prospects for peace. Settlement expansion, violence, and the absence of visionary leadership continue to define the conflict on a daily basis.
I noted that In this context political initiatives are important. In a Middle East that is the midst of a perfect storm of sectarian violence, terror and failing states developments in the Arab-Israeli conflict continue to resonate across the region. The question of Palestine remains a potent symbol and rallying cry that is easily misappropriated and exploited by extremist groups.
The first step in restoring hope is to recognize that both Palestinians and Israelis have legitimate national and historic aspirations that can only be met if they separate in two states that live in peace, security and mutual recognition. That is why now is not the time to give up on the two-state solution.
The second step is to work on the ground to build trust. Steps that reverse the negative trends, including settlement expansion, violence and incitement and address the illicit arms buildup and militant activity in Gaza. But also steps that are in line with existing agreements. Progress in the areas of housing, water, energy, and other sectors, along with significantly easing Palestinian movement restrictions, can be made while respecting Israel's legitimate security needs. There has been much discussion of these steps in the AHLC format.
It is worth highlighting today the significant efforts of the Palestinian leadership to reduce its budget deficit as the PA faces an 800 million dollar financing gap in the coming year. We in the international community must support the Palestinian Authority's state-building efforts, or risk losing the very foundations of the future Palestinian state. So must Israel, as it is in her security and national interest to see stability and prosperity in the neighbourhood.
In our discussions in the last two days we agreed on the need for increased Palestinian and Israeli economic cooperation and an easing of restrictions on access and movement. While the goodwill and understanding is there — and important water and electricity agreements have been reached, their implementation is still severely lacking. The questions of fiscal leakages, energy, water and access have to be urgently addressed. We must support the parties in reviving their efforts to find solutions to these key economic challenges, as we work to restore a political perspective.
The third step is a return to negotiations. Today it is not just the Israeli and Palestinian leaderships that recognize the risks posed by the Middle East's turmoil. The region — Egypt, Jordan and beyond agree that cooperation — rather than confrontation, is now needed more than ever. This creates a unique opportunity that must be used. The Arab Peace Initiative is still on the table, the Middle East Quartet is engaging on the issues at hand and the new US administration has quickly taken these challenges to task. It is important that we do not miss the opportunity to help the parties find their way back to negotiations.
I also focused on the situation in Gaza as I believe that we are walking into another crisis with our eyes wide open. For the last ten years two million people have been held hostage by disagreements, divisions and closures. It is time for this situation to end. That is why in its report to the AHLC this year UNSCO focused on the effects of the ten years of Hamas control of the Gaza strip, the ensuing military confrontations and closures.
The current electricity crisis is a manifestation of the broader political crisis. Since the shutdown of the Gaza Power Plant, hospitals are operating on minimum capacity putting patient lives at risk. The population is supplied portable water only once every four to five days. More than 100,000 cubic meters of raw sewage is being discharged daily into the Mediterranean Sea. These developments increase health risks for both Palestinians and Israelis along the coast.
I urged all parties to refrain from taking actions that would further exacerbate the situation and to seek a political solution to the standoff. This situation can only be resolved through a compromise, based on the implementation of intra-Palestinian agreements that would end the division and return Gaza to the control of the legitimate Palestinian authorities.
Until then and under the current circumstances the United Nations can only work to mitigate the impact of the crisis on the most vulnerable. The Palestinian Authority, Israel and indeed Hamas — who have controlled Gaza for a decade now – have obligations as duty-bearers for the welfare of Gaza's residents and must live up to their responsibilities.
In closing I stated that we cannot continue business as usual. We do not have the luxury to manage the conflict, we must resolve it. We must work in parallel on all tracks — on the political track, to restore hope; on the trust building track, to encourage the parties to refrain from unilateral steps and improve the lives of people; on the negotiations track, to help both sides find their way back to the negotiating table to address the final status issues; on the international track, to support through the Middle East Quartet framework and the region a just and lasting two-state solution; on the security front, to prevent terror and fight incitement; and last but not least on addressing the grave situation and the risks emanating from Gaza.
Knesset should reconsider bill that protects settlements on #WestBank private Palestinian land
Today, the Knesset is scheduled to vote on the so called "Regularisation" or "Legaliasation" Bill.
It would enable the continued use of privately-owned Palestinian land for Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and protect outposts built on private land. Some have pronounced it to be a step towards the annexation of the West Bank. The Attorney General of Israel has declared it to be anti-constitutional and it is in contravention of international law.
I am concerned that if adopted into law, this bill will have far reaching legal consequences for Israel and greatly diminish the prospects for Arab-Israeli peace. That is why I reiterate my call to legislators to reconsider this move.
Settlement activities are illegal under international law and run counter to the Middle East Quartet position that settlements are one of the main obstacles to peace. All core issues should be resolved between the parties through direct negotiations on the basis of relevant Security Council resolutions and mutual agreements.
#Democracy & the um al jamaheer for all #Palestinians
I condemn today's #terror attack in #Jerusalem. Deplorable that #Hamas glorify such acts
I condemn this morning's terror attack by a Palestinian perpetrator in occupied East Jerusalem which killed two Israelis and injured six others. Nothing can justify such attacks.
My thoughts are with the families and friends of all victims and I hope for a full and speedy recovery of the wounded.
It is deplorable and unacceptable that Hamas and others choose to glorify such acts which undermine the possibility of a peaceful future for both Palestinians and Israelis

Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events," the brainchild of author Daniel Handler, started as a popular 13-book series from 1999-2006, the first three novels were adapted into a film in 2004 starring Jim Carrey, Meryl Streep and Jude Law, and now is hitting the small screen with a new Netflix series featuring Neil Patrick Harris and Patrick Warburton.
That's considerable lasting power, especially since Handler himself says he "never thought anyone would be interested in these books."
"I've always been astonished by what has happened with them and I continue to be astonished," he says.
The eight-episode first season adapts the first four books, which follow three orphaned siblings who undergo a, yes, series of unfortunate events when their parents die and they're sent to live with a distant and incredibly creepy relative, Count Olaf (Harris).
amNewYork spoke with Handler about the series, which he also wrote.
How does this meet your vision of the books?
Gosh, I don't know. I think it meets perfectly, or as perfect as one could expect, what we're all trying to do together. I thought [director/producer] Barry Sonnenfeld would bring a really interesting directorial style and I thought Neil Patrick Harris would bring a really interesting element to Count Olaf, and things like that. I always think my uncompromised vision got to happen in the books, so I'm just interested always in how adaptations work, what happens to them and things like that, which is a lot more fun than sitting around and saying, "This has got to look exactly how it looks in my head."
What was your process for adapting the books? Any tough decisions?
The whole adaptation is kind of one big tough decision, which is balancing between the expectations of the story and also the expectations of wanting to do something different. Our decision was to keep it as loyal to the story as possible, but to add a lot more things. And so, there are aspects to the story that are barely hinted at in the books or not even to be found in the books. The core story remains unchanged. So that was kind of our formula, and all the other decisions went out from there.
How did you land on Neil for Count Olaf?
I got the idea for him as Count Olaf when I saw him perform a big opening song at the Tonys that made fun of musical theater while being super enthusiastic about musical theater. The idea that you can be kidding and not kidding at the same time was a quality that we were talking about in terms of performances and aesthetics of the show. So I think his Count Olaf manages to be funny sometimes, but it's not campy. He's still scary, so he seems not dismissible. He seems really creepy. Then what was pleasing about working with him is his commitment is really to the story, to figuring out ways that help the story get told in the best ways possible as opposed to looking for as much screen time as possible or having a funny bit that we have to try and shoehorn into some part of the story. So that was really refreshing.
Patrick Warburton is so great in this. I could just watch him walking and talking for two hours.
That's exactly how I feel [laughs]. I'd probably put about 20 times more of him in the series. I think that would maybe be where there was some disagreement between the creators — not that anybody had disrespect for his performance. But I think I was ready for unlimited Warburton. Gosh, he's been in so many terrific things. He's in this really tiny film called "The Woman Chaser" that I happened to see — I'm one of the few people to ever see it in a movie theater I think. And there were a couple of clips of it on YouTube, and I'm glad there were because when we first thought of him, I said he's best in this movie that no one had seen, and then I showed a couple of clips on YouTube and one of them was practically Lemony Snicket personified. It was great. I felt like I was his agent for about 5 minutes, so that was really fun. Also, I'm not an actor at all, so I can't really speak to the skill set, but he would just memorize these long, long passages of description, sometimes with last-minute changes, and then we would say, "You have to step out of this building and walk down here and then do this, all while monologuing, and we just changed four things so they make more sense," and he would say, "OK," which was astonishing.
What are the advantages of having the longer run time of a TV show over a movie?
Well, I mean, I would say that's the advantage. It will feel like a series of unfortunate events rather than condensing them into a movie. Netflix approached me about doing this and that was kind of the strength of their pitch. They said, "We don't have to worry about condensing everything. In fact, the challenge will be stretching it out and making it last for a long time as a show."
This has a pretty dark tone — do you think it's still good for kids?
Yes, I would say it is. I mean, I don't think it's a dark tone that's inappropriate for children. I always felt the line between people who appreciate "Snicket" and don't is more about the line of irony which some people acquire at a very early age and some people never acquire. And so to me, to understand that there's something a little bit funny about horrifying things and a little bit horrifying about funny things, that's really the personality that we're looking for. Some babies understand that.

Gift and RE Gift alike?
Deny it all you want - you've re-gifted at least ONCE in your life.
<Sean Patrick - WOC> "I am slightly ashamed to admit that I've taken part in re- gifting."
<Robin Skinner> "There's no shame in regifting."
<Sean Patrick - WOC> "No?"
<Robin Skinner> "It's ok."
<Sean Patrick - WOC> "Really? Ok."
<Robin Skinner> "Yes. Re-gift without fear. Without shame. You can do it. It's ok."
That was Re-Gifting Etiquette Expert Robin Skinner - speaking Sean Patrick at WOC in Davenport, IA.
<Robin Skinner> "Re-gifting can be funny, but also can be done in a way that it's ok. And it shouldn't bring that shame along with it. You know - as long as you're gifting in the right spirit. You know - in the giving spirit - then it is ok."
<Sean Patrick - WOC> "And what we're talking about is essentially you get a gift that's not really your taste - or you don't have any use for - or maybe you already have one - and you give it to somebody else who might be able to make use of it."
<Robin Skinner> "Really."
So... with that said - will you consider giving the gift of "RE-GIFT" this year? ...I just may.

The START Nuclear Arms Reduction Treaty - with Russia - faces its final hurdle with the US Senate - today.
Are you in favor of the START treaty? That question asked of DAVID SHORR -- Program Officer at the Stanley Foundation, longtime observer of diplomatic efforts, national security and foreign policy by Scott Vorhees at KFAB in Omaha this morning.
His answer?
"It's very much a step by step process. But this is certainly one that we can take now and will help us as we try and keep the heat on countries like Iran and North Korea -- which is the real concern."
The Treaty - commits the World's 2 largest nuclear powers - the US and Russia - to reach parity on the number of nuclear warheads - the US would have to cut our numbers significantly.
I'm Jessica Curtis, and that's your talk radio buzz, from Fox News Radio.
