A man grabbed French President Nicolas Sarkozy and yanked him off balance before being wrestled to the ground by bodyguards on Thursday, television pictures showed. The unidentified man seized Sarkozy by the jacket as he was greeting people gathered behind a barrier in the town of Brax, southwestern France, and tugged the president forward. Sarkozy staggered, straightened up and looked briefly ruffled but then went on glad-handing the public as the man was restrained by security staff.
Pandora Bracelets Pictures broadcast on television showed them wrestling the man to the ground. Police said later that a man was in custody in nearby Agen. An official in Sarkozy's office said the presidency "does not wish to take action" against him. Asked about the possibility by the iTele channel, Sarkozy replied simply, "no, no problem, no problem." The man was named as Hermann Fuster, 32, employed as a caretaker and receptionist at the music and dance conservatory in Agen, who had no record of offending. The attack, though brief, was captured on film and the images were swiftly shown on French news channels. Cheap Pandora Jewelry
According to a source close to the enquiry, he had wanted to challenge the president on France's intervention in Libya. Brax mayor Michel Bernines told AFP Sarkozy was shaking hands "when suddenly a person in the second or third row ... threw himself at (the president), grabbed him by the shoulder and seemed to be going to punch him." Bernines said the incident was "very quick, very sudden and unpredictable. Pandora Jewelry
" Sarkozy has been involved in several altercations in public with hecklers and boisterous crowds, but it was the first time a member of the public had breached his security bubble to lay hands on him. The most notorious incident was in 2008 at the Paris agricultural show where Sarkozy thundered "Get lost, you damned idiot!" at a man who insulted him.
Pandora CharmsThe quote has become a popular catchphrase for summing up Sarkozy's abrupt style. Thursday's scuffle occurred as Sarkozy came out of a meeting in Brax with local mayors. His approval ratings are stuck at around 30 percent, amid high unemployment, 10 months ahead of presidential polls in which he is expected to seek re-election. In 2002 a gunman shot at, and missed, Sarkozy's predecessor Jacques Chirac before being wrestled to the ground and arrested. Chirac's assailant, linked to far-right groups, was jailed for 10 years.

tiffany ukWith summer come so many of life's great pleasures: the warm sun on your back; scantily clad babes on the sidewalk; and perhaps best of all, the ability to woo your girl in fun and creative ways -- without breaking the bank. The possibilities are endless, but to help get you started, we give you our top six picks for summer lovin' on a shoestring budget. Date No. 1: Park It Here Whether it's your first date or your 50th, your local park is ground zero for easy and inexpensive outings. "On the first date, play Frisbee and go grab an ice cream. tiffany necklace white gold
That's enough time to figure out if you want to have a second date," says Arthur Malov, senior dating coach at NewYorkDatingCoach.com. Other options include taking a stroll in the park at sunset or renting paddleboats by day if your park has a lake or pond. Throw some bread in your pack for the ducks and score bonus points with your girl for being kind to animals. Date No. 2: Get Your Groove On Free concerts are a summer mainstay in most every American city and town. tiffany mens necklace
This is your chance to check out new sounds -- without the download fee. If it's a small show and the venue allows, bring a blanket and pack a picnic. If you're going to see a major artist for free (or a pittance), expect big crowds and forego the picnic. But do bring water for both of you to stay hydrated; she'll appreciate your thoughtfulness, and you'll appreciate her not passing out.
Date No. 3: Raise the Roof When the warm weather hits, restaurants with an outdoor roof deck are a brilliant way to wow your girl. A view equals romance in the minds of most women, even if the chow on offer is burgers and Buffalo wings. Skip the weekend crowds and go on a Tuesday: You and your sweetie will have the place to yourself. No roof restaurants in your hood? Check out patios overlooking a marina or a garden -- there's gotta be something worth looking at in your town! Date No. 4: Fairs and Fests Summer fairs and festivals are the ultimate date venue because there's so much to see and do, mostly for little or no money.

Ride the Ferris wheel and kiss her when you're stuck at the top. You get the idea. Date No. 5: Set the Stage Nothing says you're a classy dude like Shakespeare, and almost all cities (and many towns) offer some kind of free or inexpensive theatre during the summer.

Check Wikipedia, and then impress her with insight into the play. Hate the theater? Usually the venue is outside, so pick a cloudy night -- if the show is cut short by rain, you get the culture points without the pain! Date No. 6: Life's a Beach Whether by bus, train, car or a bicycle-built-for-two, get yourself to a beach. It's the date with the best dollar-to-eye-candy ratio. Bring a blanket, Frisbee, chips and beverages. Offer to help put sunscreen on her back. The rest we'll leave up to you. tiffany charms
