Josef Enzinger/dapd A cow named Yvonne has eluded capture since escaping a German farm in May. She's been spotted roaming a forest, but searchers haven't been able to get close to her. Now an animal psychic has been called in. In Germany, a dairy cow named Yvonne's death-defying escape — and continued success in eluding capture — has become an incandescent symbol of freedom and animal dignity. Okay, that may be hyperbolic. But how else to explain scores of visitors to Zangberg, the Bavarian commune Yvonne calls home, or the 10,000-euro reward offered for her safe return? Curious visitors and search parties have been romping through the woods around Zangberg, looking for signs of the cow. Yvonne has been at large since she breached an electric fence on her farm nearly three months ago, on May 24. Since then, she's adopted a lifestyle that might be called Sherwoodian: sticking to forests, eluding police, and bringing acclaim and tourist dollars to her quaint village. Yvonne, 6, escaped just before she was due to be sent to the slaughterhouse. But her life of freedom hasn't been without risks. She narrowly missed being struck by a police car; hunters were given permission to shoot her on sight. Food traps were laid; a beagle hunting dog was enlisted. Companion cows were sent in, to draw her out. But all to no avail. "Yvonne knows exactly what she's doing, and she's tricking us," the manager of an animal rescue farm told a German newspaper. The same paper, the Sueddeutsche Zeitung, says that Yvonne has now become a type of freedom fighter "for the animal-loving republic." Perhaps conceding the battle of wits — and the public-relations war — to the ruminant, officials are now hoping they can reach her through her heart. They're bringing in a male ox named Ernst, who they hope will capture Yvonne's heart, and lure her back to human society. And that's not all. Michael Aufhauser, the founder of a nearby animal sanctuary called Gut Aiderbichl, has asked an animal psychic for help finding Yvonne, and possibly negotiating her surrender. According to The Guardian: Franziska Matti, an animal communication expert from Berne in Switzerland, said she had managed to contact Yvonne using telepathy. "I spoke to her yesterday and she said that she was fine but didn't feel ready to come out of hiding," said Matti. "She said she knew that Ernst had been waiting for her but that she was scared. She said she thought that humans would lock her up and she would no longer be free." Perhaps Matti can relay the latest offer from Gut Aiderbichl. The preserve wants to pay Yvonne's owners 600 euros ($867) and give the cow "a paddock with grass to graze on for the rest of her days," The Guardian reports. That arrangement may not suit Yvonne, which the tabloid Bild calls "the cow who would rather be a deer." Bild is also the magazine behind the 10,000-euro ($14451) reward. The tabloid's reward also hints at one reason why Yvonne's story has become a source of hyperbole: other than flurries of bad news, summer is traditionally a slow time for media. But in this case, Zangberg Mayor Franz Märkl says that both his village — and Yvonne — are profiting from the attention. "It's unbelievable how famous she's become – for sure nobody would dare shoot her now," Märkl told Süddeutsche Zeitung.

darn it, count me out. I'll be out of state

yes

lol

That'd make a nice fort in the woods

sweet. I hope that's legal outside the ring as well.

Ya the new fangled ones I often wonder how they stay together they're so easy to break down.

I think I can make this. Would bring the AR. Sounds fun. Never been into ld shooting. Be cool if someone could go over how to make scope adjustments for long range adjustmens. I get the 100 yard click thing but don't really understand how to use the marks on the crosshairs et cetera.

Adjust your witholdings on your pay stub. U pick how many exemptions u want? You c should be able to ask your employer at any time to adjust how much tax u want to pay. Best is to break even so gubment doesnt have your money interest free for months. U can change it so u get a ton back or u owe money. U can opt to pay them all at the end of the year I believe and have a bigger paycheck but u better put some aside to pay them later They might be qualifying for more breaks based on kids or other credits also.

Maybe a stupid question but what taxes pay for what exactly? Income tax Sales tax Property tax Estate tax Et cetera

I wonder whose the duck and whose the armadillo?

I've been nailed twice by planes heading south on 77 just north of Cambridge.

lol...

http://youtu.be/hQySwo8Tphg The comment about the homeless cracks me up.

Screw raising taxes on the rich. Bastards.Makes no sense to me. They dump more money back into the economy which is irrelevant. it's flat out wrong. They should raise it for those on assistance. Just today I heard a government bankruptcy office scrapping out all their battery backup systems because batteries were old. When questioned why not just replace the batteries they stated this is the government, we don't do that. Ironic.gubment needs to go thru a LEAN process and cut the fat.

Buddy, I think you don't know auctions.
