Tried to repair a printer with these guys. They replaced the main electronic board (the easiest thing to do) - it did not help. Then they kept saying they are working on it. Finally turned out they were simply waiting for a similar printer to come around, to play with it and compare. A month and a half passed - nothing happened. They were willing to wait indefinitely rather than acknowledging their incompetence. I took the printer back with exactly the same problem.
Very satisfied with the quality of service. And what a great deal I got!
I highly recommend Eltek. They are very knowledgable and courteous. They gave me an excellant price on a 51" TV and repaired my old TV to use in another room. Thanks :)
The person who answered the phone when I called was extreamly unhelpful and mean.

Arizona Cardinals Drop Fifth Straight. Hey, Derek Anderson, Stop Trying to Kill Your Receivers
The Arizona Cardinals lost their fifth straight game on Sunday, this time in a 31-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. What caused yesterday's loss? Same shit, different day.
The Cards were bad on defense, the Cards were bad on offense -- they dropped passes, got too many penalties, and quarterback Derek Anderson missed his target almost every time he threw the ball. And now his receivers are paying the price.
Anderson's been missing receivers all season, so this is nothing new. But now he's missing high -- as oppose to short, or long -- and receivers are forced to go up in the air to make risky, circus catches. For a receiver, up in the air is where you get crushed -- just ask Early Doucet.
Doucet is showing symptoms of a concussion after leaving the ground to catch a high pass from Anderson. He got crushed by two Kansas City defenders before he even hit the ground.

Doucet wasn't the only Cardinals receiver to jeopardize the rest of their career by going up to get one of Anderson's wild throws, Larry Fitzgerald, and Anderson's go-to-guy, Steve Breaston, also took a beating.
"Once again, this is getting old," Anderson said after the game. "We've just got to find a way, dig deep, continue to keep working the way we have been working."
The way the Cardinals "have been working" clearly isn't the best course of action, so maybe it's time for Anderson to go back to the drawing board.
It wasn't just Anderson's wild throws that lost the game for the Cards -- dropped passes and stupid penalties played an equal role in the loss.
The Cardinals had 11 penalties for 96 yards in the loss, and only converted four of 15 third downs. Many of those failed third down tries were caused by a bad pass or a dropped catch.
The defense was equally unimpressive.
The Cards D held the Chiefs to fewer total yards than the Cardinals (382-352), but they were killed by penalties, and were unable to shut down the Chiefs on all three of their red zone possessions.
"We are not really a confident team right now," Cards coach Ken Whisenhunt said after the game. "One of the things we have always been able to feed on is certain individuals, but I'm not specifying individuals, players making plays. We had our chances to do that. We had more dropped balls today than I can remember with this football team. That is not something that we have ever done before."
The Cardinals host the San Francisco 49ers next week on Monday night. The two teams are tied for last place in the NFC West right now, so get ready for the battle of who could care less. Click here for more info.

|Tribe Time:
|Nick Name
|Grey Eagle
|Hall of Fame (1937)
|Best Season (1923)
|Indians Career
|As Manager
|Best Season (1908)
|Indians Career
The greatest doubles hitter in Major League history, Tris Speaker was inducted into Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame in 1937 as a member of the Cleveland Indians. This was just the second Hall of Fame class in baseball history as he joined seven other greats to be one of the first 13 people enshrined and one of the first eight players along with former Indians Cy Young and Nap Lajoie and his primary rival, Ty Cobb. While he did play with four franchises, the Grey Eagle had his most successful seasons as a member of the Tribe, after garnering over 1,300 hits during his nine years with the Boston Red Sox.
Speaker began his professional baseball career in the Texas League at the age of 18 and after hitting 32 doubles for Houston in 118 games in 1907, a hint of the rest of his career, he was signed by Boston at the age of 19 part way through the season. While he didn't play much in his first two seasons, by 1909 he was a .300 hitter and the Red Sox starting center fielder and by 1912 he was a .380 hitter and the American League MVP. With 53 doubles that seasons he lead the AL, something he would do seven more times (six for the Indians) ultimately heading to his Major League record of 792, 46 more than the second best, Pete Rose.
For seven years, Speaker with the Sox competed with Ty Cobb for the title of best hitter in baseball, but despite a clause that allowed a team to maintain control of a player indefinitely, Speaker was traded to the Indians in 1916 for Sad Sam Jones, Fred Thomas and $55,000. While this wasn't quite the curse of the Bambino, it may have been the second worse trade the Red Sox ever committed and it happened just three years before Babe Ruth was sold to the Yankees.
The Sox had just won two World Series with Speaker (1912 and 1915) and the addition of Speaker would be the real key for the Indians to win their first just a few years later. In his first year with the Tribe, he lead the league in hits (211), doubles (42), average (.386), OBP (.470) and slugging percent (.502). While the MVP award was suspended from 1915 through 1921, there is little question that Speaker would have otherwise won it for his 1916 campaign in Cleveland. While it was early in franchise history, he became just the third Indians hitter to surpass the 40 double mark (along with Lajoie and Shoeless Joe Jackson) and his .386 average was the third most in Indians history (behind two Jackson seasons) and remains the fourth best to this day.
The next season, Speaker only hit .352 (his ninth season in a row with an average of at least .300 in at least 140 games), but hit another 42 doubles and 11 triples. While more known for his prodigious doubles numbers, Speaker had both the speed necessary to play center field, which he did from a very shallow position that allowed him to field short flies with the range to catch the deep ones and leg out a huge number of triples. Ultimately, he would set the Indians career record with 108 (surpassing another Hall of Famer, Elmer Flick), a number since surpassed by only Earl Averill.
Speaking of defense, considering the age he played in, Speaker was arguably the best defensive center fielder in team history. We don't have many numbers beyond fielding percent (which wasn't excellent at .975, but lead the AL four times while with Cleveland) or any video, but we do have his cumulative numbers, all of which are Indians records from total games in center field to balls fielded (4,169), double plays made (74) and outfield assists (221). In fact, no player has ever come anywhere near Speaker's numbers in center not just because of his lengthy career, but because of his incredible range. For his entire career he lead the league in range factor three times (33rd in MLB history), double plays eight times (first in MLB history with 99) and assists five times (first in MLB history with 292 as a center fielder and 449 as an outfielder). While others like Larry Doby and Kenny Lofton may have been more flashy and more well known to the modern crowd, no one in baseball history for any team has put together a defensive career in the outfield comparable to Speaker's.
He played in just 127 and 134 games in 1918 and 1919 (still hitting more than 30 doubles each year), but just when his career looked to be waning, Speaker jumped right back to be one of the top hitters in baseball again. Before this happened, however, Speaker added another line to his Hall of Fame resume as he was named player/manager with 61 games left in the 1919 season. Speaker took over for Lee Fohl, who had been the manager since 1915, going 327-310 overall and ten games over .500 in the 1919 season. Taking quickly to his new job, Speaker's Indians finished out the year 40-21 to come a close second (3.5 games back) to the White Sox who would go on to throw the World Series in what could be the biggest scandal in baseball history.
It was the 1920 season that Speaker is most remembered for and for good reason. In addition to his bat coming back (he hit .388, surpassing his previous career high, lead the league with 50 doubles and knocked in over 100 for the first time), he lead the Indians to their first World Series despite multiple set backs including the death of star short stop Ray Chapman due to an on-the-field incident. As a manager, Speaker had to maintain the ship through this turmoil and he was lucky enough to have another Hall of Famer, Joe Sewell, come up to replace Chapman. Another move that came with risk, but ultimately helped the Indians win the World Series was depending on Duster Mails late in the season and in the Series itself as the rarely used pitcher really stood out.
In the World Series, which the Indians won in seven games (they went 5-2 in the best of nine series against Brooklyn), Speaker played in each game, batted .320 and had four extra base hits out of his eight safeties. The captain on and off the field, Indians fans owe Speaker a debt of gratitude for eternity for pulling the team together and winning the first title in franchise history and the last for another 28 years.
As he went further into his 30's, somehow Speaker became an even better hitter, batting .362 in 1921, .378 in 1922 and .380 in 1923. That 1923 season would arguably be his best ever as he set personal highs in runs scored (133), RBI (130) and doubles, all numbers that remain in the top ten for Indians single season records. His 59 doubles were the most impressive, even for the man who averaged more than 40 per year throughout his career. That number set an Indians record and although it wouldn't last long with George Burns hitting 64 in 1926, it remains the second highest total in Tribe history.
This would be his last incredible how could he maintain that for a full season year, but he still batted .389 as a less regular player in 1925 and hit 52 doubles at the age of 37 in 1926. At the same time, his success as a manager was not as consistent. After winning 98 games in 1920 and 94 the next season, the Indians would barely be a .500 team the next two years and would drop below for the two after that. In the 1926 season there was a bit of a turnaround as Burns won the MVP and Sewell and Speaker had great seasons, but there would also be some negativity off the field that would cause this 88 win season (2nd place) to be Speaker's final with the team.
After the controversy following the 1919 Chicago Black Sox scandal, MLB commissioner Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis was on the hunt to find any players with gambling allegations around the league. One of those players was Speaker, who was alleged to have conspired to throw a game with Cobb years earlier. While nothing was proven (hence both their places in the Hall of Fame), the scandal was enough for the Indians to want Speaker gone and he was released in January of 1927. He played one more full season with the Washington Senators, batting .327 with 43 more doubles, but was released at the end of the season again and played just one more partial season with the Philadelphia Athletics at the age of 40 to round out his Major League career.
Just to prove he still had it, Speaker played two seasons with Newark of the International League and in his final year in organized baseball he batted .419 at the age of 22 against lesser talent. He would never get another managing job outside of Cleveland, but that was plenty. Overall, he won 617 games to 520 losses and his 5-2 (.714) record in the world series is the best winning percent of any Indians manager in the post season. Only two other Indians managers have won as many as 600 games, Mike Hargrove and Lou Boudreau and while they both reached the World Series, Boudreau is the only other Indians manager to win it.
As if one aspect wasn't enough, Speaker was one of the Indians best managers, hitters and defensive players in team history. His career offensive statistics down the line are generally all in the top ten in Tribe history and among center fielders, only Averill has surpassed many. Just as he was very worthy to be a member of the second Hall of Fame class, he was entered into the Indians Hall of Fame with the first class ever in 1951. The Gray Eagle, known that for his early onset of gray hair and his incredible range in center, died at the age of 70 in 1958.

Pokemon Battle Revolution
The hit monster-battling RPG ditches the RPG, adds connectivity.
Not this time, though. Despite its name, the latest entry in the growing poké-family (Pokémon Battle Revolution) sticks to comfortably familiar territory. It's basically Pokémon Stadium with prettier graphics -- and, of course, a fully-updated roster of creatures to send into battle.
|SCREENS: Click the image above to check out all Pokémon Battle Revolution screens.
Why would anyone want to play a Pokémon game that focuses entirely on monster-battling and completely abandons the involving exploration and adventure elements of the portable games? A fair enough question, but one easily answered. Revolution allows players to jump straight into what most people consider the meat of the game, the combat, without being forced to capture and train up an army of creatures. Instead, you can simply rent a group of monsters with advanced skills and head straight to the coliseum.
And then there's the more obvious appeal: Revolution is quite pretty. Obviously the Wii visuals won't be wowing 360 and PS3 owners, but the fully 3D (and fully animated) monsters and effects look a lot more impressive than the DS game's two-frame sprites, and both creature and trainer designs translate nicely into polygons. Running commentary (voiced by the stadium announcer from the anime) adds to the upgrade effect without slowing down the game; after all, the standard Pokémon title describes your every action in exhaustive detail, so this simply gives a little more vigor to the standard fights.
|SCREENS: Click the image above to check out all Pokémon Battle Revolution screens.
Naturally, Revolution features online play; to compete with friends, you'll have to swap codes. But Nintendo seems to be learning, slowly, because Revolution also includes a blind matchmaking service that allows you to compete against complete strangers. Sans voice chat, of course; it wouldn't do to fuel Fox News' child-predation hysterics, after all. But even without voice, the ability to be humbled by a complete stranger should be a welcome new addition to the franchise.
Of course, the ability to link up to the portable games has always been the biggest hook for the console coliseum spin-offs, and this is where Revolution shines. Since Wii and DS are on good speaking terms via Wi-Fi, connecting a copy of Pokémon Diamond or Pearl to Revolution is painless; no clumsy transfer paks are required this time around. Activating the connection feature on Wii causes a new option to appear on the title screen of the DS game; once connected, the DS can be used to control the player's team with the same touch screen interface used for portable battles. The only real drawback is that DS battles (whether single or double) are limited to four team members instead of all six.
Pokémon fanatics -- who clearly remain a significant slice of the population -- have only a few more weeks to wait before Revolution arrives in the U.S. and they can at last see their perfectly-evolved Empoleons stomp ass on the (comparatively) big screen.

so far so goodPosted: Jul 02, 2007 12:00AM PST by Jonathon_Striker
It definitely looks good, plays well, and online battle is great. If any complaints, my main complaint is the crappy music, especially being that it is in no way great battle music.
I totally agree!Posted: Nov 09, 2006 12:00AM PST by Boricua_Bob
If there was anything I missed about the Pokemon console games, it would have to be the multiplayer mini-games. Also the fact that you can have your own Pokemon compete in them. I just hope Battle Revolution isn't as much of a flop as the first two Pokemon Rpg games for the Gamecube. Those were so freakin' horrible. Dark Lugia my ass! And maybe later Game Freak could make a Drill Dozer game for the Wii.
I agree about mini games...Posted: Nov 04, 2006 12:00AM PST by Melody_Hikari
The mini games in Pokemon Stadium 1 were very fun! I never got to play stadium 2, but i read about the games, and I bet those were fun as well. So I say, BRING BACK THE MINI-GAMES!!! *knows the value of her opinion on here* XD
Magikarp Flop!Posted: Nov 04, 2006 12:00AM PST by Brace-4-impact
If the Wii Pokemon battler has Magikarp Flop, a minigame from Pokemon Stadium, then it will be a must buy for me. That game was so much stupid fun, expically with four people foping with idiots, and will be more fun with the Wiimote. Oh, and bring back snatching in the 1-P mode. I know other people didn't like it, but I thought it was great. If only there was a snatching mode in the portable games.

Fulham football club address skills shortfall with cloud database
Fulham football club's IT team moves its database infrastructure to the cloud with a database as a service implementation
Fulham football club's IT team is moving its database infrastructure to the cloud with a database as a service implementation.
Fulham FC uses various databases supporting business applications and, after identifying a shortage of the right skills in-house, it decided to outsource.
Your exclusive guide to CIO trends
A collection of our most popular articles for IT leaders from the first few months of 2016, including: - Corporate giants recruit digitally-minded outsiders to drive transformation - Analytics platforms to drive strategy in 2016 - Next generation: The changing role of IT leaders.

Spencer Haywood, head of IT at Fulham FC, said recruitment, re-skilling and training would have been expensive with no guarantee of success.
"The recruitment process to find the required resource was lengthy to ensure value for money, so we looked to outsource this particular service to avoid the risk and expense of recruiting, re-skilling and training up new employees," he said.
Fulham FC chose a database as a service offering from supplier Carrenza.
The cloud-based service also provides the IT team with visibility through monitoring, as well as the ability to scale up and down in line with seasonal changes in activity.
Carrenza will be looking after Fulham FC's business-critical Microsoft SQL stack of databases, many of which play a critical role in the business activities of the organisation.

The database applications Carrenza will manage include ticketing solutions, stadium access controls and financial systems.
Other smaller databases will be managed to support areas such as player medical databases.

Academic Experience:
It's hard work, but if you can do it, then do it.
Academic Experience:
As a student who is specializing in audio, it is very interesting how my course sequence has been laid out. Just this year, I took a class about writing a synthesizer using code. It was an amazing experience. We get access to some of the best audio technology in a special room filled with music equipment, it's great.
Academic Experience:
Like I said before, it's actually difficult. The classes are enjoyable and the professors are amazing. Everything is pertinent to what I want to do after college.
Academic Experience:
The program is constantly changing, which is both good and bad. As a BDFA, the cirriculum has changed at least 3 times in the course of a single semester. This is because yes, the industry is changing, but it's also extremely difficult to finish the program on track, there are students that have been here an extra 3 semesters trying to finish up the program.
Academic Experience:
In the BFA program you are expected not to even sleep. I took the Recommended course load and that was 21 credits my first semester. Out of the initial estimated 200 art students in this program, usually only around 15 graduate. This isn't because they aren't good artists or good students. It is simply because they are so ran dry and pushed to the point of extreme depression, suicidal thoughts and an extremely stressful life. You wake up, with maybe 3 hours of sleep, you work all day until you go home, where you work until maybe 3 in the morning to get it all done. I ultimately became one of the many to drop out. I promise you that this stress is not worth it. If you want to learn this then look up things online, study hard but don't put yourself through this stress.

Jasper, who led Dunwoody High School to a 5-5 record, still believes he has room to improve as he moves forward to the college game. "Not fully," Jasper noted when asked if he had reached his potential. "There's still room to grow for the next level."
While the potential is there for Jasper to shine at the next level, it remains to be seen which school he will pick to showcase his skills. "Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, East Carolina, and a newcomer is Temple," he said of schools he is eyeing. "I've already visited Kentucky and Georgia Tech. Wake Forest I have the next weekend."
Jasper talked about each of his visits. "Kentucky was my first visit. I got a look at the situation and I really enjoyed their campus, their life, and the players. I actually saw the Kentucky – UNC game and that was a big plus. The coaches were cool and I enjoyed it...I actually learned some stuff about their campus that I didn't know before. Of course their coaches are great."
While Jasper is already familiar with Atlanta, he did continue to build his relationship with the Georgia Tech staff including Coach Gailey when he visited Tech in December. "With Georgia Tech, I like Coach Gailey the most. He's instrumental in this. I talk to him a lot and that was a great trip."
Next up is a visit to Wake Forest this weekend. "Since [Wake Forest] started recruiting me this past year I've been looking forward to it. They've been hyping the[Duke – Wake Forest basketball] game. I've heard great things about the school from my coaches because they go visit at least once a year and they've given me an idea of how I will fit in there."
After his visit to Wake Forest, he may take a visit to East Carolina followed by a potential visit to Temple. Jasper currently holds offers from Kentucky, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, Temple, and ECU along with several D1-AA schools.
Jasper, who is fully qualified by NCAA standards, has no set date on when he will make his college decision. "I was going to say that after the Wake Forest trip I was going to choose Wake Forest or Georgia Tech, but I might hold off until I'm truly comfortable," he noted.

The conservancy grows out of a 40-year effort to support the maintenance and development of Belle Isle, one of metro Detroit's jewels. Prior to joining the Belle Isle Conservancy, Michele served the Troy Chamber as its president,from 2001 to 2013. The Troy Chamber is a dynamic organization comprising nearly 700 of the Troy area's best companies. Its objectives are heavily oriented toward economic development, entrepreneurship, globalization, and leadership. In her final year there she worked successfully to advance the Troy Transit Center.
Michele has held a variety of positions with the Detroit Regional Chamber, including director of technology, senior director of new investment, and director of national investment. She previously served as executive director of the DDA and business development team member for the City of Southfield, where she promoted economic health through the coordination of redevelopment efforts, marketing activities and a citywide business retention/attraction program. Mrs. Hodges also spent several years with the City of Eastpointe, beginning as an intern, concluding as director of economic development, and reporting directly to the city manager. She served as president of the Oakland Chamber Network for four years, and was recognized in 2011 as the Business Woman of the Year by the Troy Rotary.

What do you think are the biggest challenges and/or opportunities facing our region in 2016? What kind of media coverage can effectively communicate the complexity of these issues, and vet possible solutions? These questions are at the heart of our new project with Metromode, Issue Media Group's regional publication for metro Detroit. We believe that …
Hazel Park is a pretty special place, home to smart local government, engaged community, and unexpected innovation. As they experience new investment and attention from this region and beyond, it's important to recognize the hard work that brought them to this point. Read our love letter to the city!
Since 2009, the Millennial Mayors Congress has worked to tackle shared challenges in metro Detroit through regional collaboration, but we were missing a paramount participant—the City of Detroit! This year, Detroit City Council voted unanimously to join the Congress, officially making Detroit our 23rd member city.

A ceremony celebrating the Veterans Wall was held Saturday at the Memorial Park in Clarkston. Several vets and community members joined together in the event to dig up the local monument and load it onto a truck to be moved to a better home. This is a distinguished tribute to some of the area's most appreciated residents.
"It is a honor for the veterans to have a place here in Clarkston that's not just a sign in a small park, but down here in the beautiful port district that is being developed," said retired U.S. Navy Commander Chuck Whitman. "Something that's permanent."
The land at the Port of Clarkston was donated to the group organizers to help celebrate the importance of our veterans. The group on hand included local vets, members of the Clarkston High School Jr. ROTC unit, Clarkston Mayor Kathleen Warren and Lewiston Mayor Pro Tem Brad Cannon, who helped install the sign at the new location. For now, the sign sits in oil drums while the proper permits to dig at the port property are processed.

A Helpful Infographic for Summer Grilling: Where Food Goes on the Grill
This illustration from Spencer Matern for Food Republic is a helpful guide to the best spots to place food on a grill. What? You mean we don't just toss things on when it's hot and take them off when they're charred slightly? Not if you want them to cook perfectly and retain the best texture possible! In short, there is direct and indirect heat. This not only goes for charcoal, but many gas grills as well. Instead of lighting all your burners, turn all but one on and let it be your indirect grilling location. Your food will thank you and so will your tummy. Do you abide by the grilling law illustrated above? Share your thoughts in the comments below. Related: The Secret To Grilling The Perfect Sausage (Image: Food Republic)

TEXAS, SUN DAY MORN ING, APRIL 17, 1938 THIRTY-SIX IN FOUR SECTIONS. PRICE 5 CENTS Insane Parent Slayei Eludes Texas Officers Howard Pierson Unlocks Doors Of Dormitory And Walks To Freedom AUSTIN, April Pierson, 23, who shocked the southwest three yeans ago by killing his parents, Supreme Court Judge and Mrs..William Pierson, eluded a drag- net of officers today after escaping from the state insane hos- pital here, Authorities, groping for clues, concluded he had somehow obtained a key, unlocked the great double doors to his dormi- tory building and walked to freedom, either by scaling a barbed wire fence or through one of two unguarded gates. On April 24, 1935, young Pierson lured Judge and Mrs. William Pierson to the cedar covered hills 15 miles north- west of Austin on the pretext of showing; them some Indian artifacts and there shot them I to death.

He had been a model In- mate until his' escape, detected at a A. M. checkup. Dr. C. H. Standlfer, superintend- ent, expressed an opinion Pierson is still insane. He added another sanity hearing could not be ob- tained until and unless hospital au- thorities were convinced he had recovered his mental balance. Claude Teer, chairman- of the board of control which manages state hospitals, shared the superin- tendent's opinion the youth effect- ed his release with a key, though neither would theorize as to how it was obtained. Pierson was seen at last night when he returned a maga- zine to a ward attendant. His pa- jamas were found tucked into a hedgerow near his dormitory. From his room only his shoeJ were miss- ing. He had arranged his bed cov- ers to simulate the appearance of someone sleeping. GATES UNGUARDED Two gales along the wire fence are not guarded because the more dangerous, lainates.'ijire.

One party scoured the hill try where the slayings were conv mitted, on a theory he might have returned to the scene.' Judge Pierson, 61, at the time of his death, had been a member of the supreme court for 14 years. Many motives have been advanced for the youth's action, including fancied discrimination of the par- ents Li favor of an older brother.

Wage-Hour Bill Draws u.: Rules Corhmittee 'v- Chief And AFL Back legislation WASHINGTON, 'April The Administration's latest effort to put a wage-hour law on the statute books at this session of congress drew support today from the Amer- ican Federation of Labor .and Chairman O'Connor (D-NY) of the house rules committee. There was no apparent break, however, in strong Southern opposi- tion to the legislation. William Green, president of the A. F. of L., said in a statement that the. federation "accepts and favors" the bill recently approved .by the house labor committee. Green ad- ded, however, the federation believ- ed the bill could be improved. He proposed that it require at the outset a minimum wage of 40 cents an frour, a maximum work week of 40 hours instead of starting the standards at 25 cents and 44 hours and stepping them up to the 40-40 level over a three-year period.

Recipe? Who uses those? Haha. A Snickers bar is five layers - chocolate, nougat, nuts, caramel, chocolate.
First layer is melted dark chocolate of your choice. Let it set in the fridge to firm up.
Second layer is nougat, which is essentially butter, sugar and egg whites. You'll have to look up how to make it, but spread it on the set chocolate. Then put it in the fridge to set. I don't use corn syrup so I melted brown sugar and molasses with butter and cream cheese so it was thick, then folded in egg whites and let it set in the freezer for about an hour to get firm.
I toasted some almonds, then topped the nougat layer with them.
Then I made caramel. A few tablespoons of butter, maybe a half cup of dark brown sugar with a little added blackstrap molasses and 1/8 cup whole milk. I add around 1-2 tablespoons of cream cheese as well. Pour that over the almonds and nougat, then back into the fridge for an hour to set.
Then top with more melted chocolate of your darkness choice.
Don't put your trust in anyone on this forum, including me. You are the key to your own success.
CHOCO WHY ARE YOU NO LONGER POSTING ON THIS THREAD??? I went thru all 44 pages, drooling the whole time, & now I'm on page 44 and theres no more food porn....

Skip to comments.Summary of UN gun debate in Kings College, London - NRA's Wayne LaPierre vs IANSA's Rebecca Peters
Posted on 10/12/2004 8:48:40 PM PDT by Dan from Michigan
I just watched the Gun Debate on Pay Per View. For $10, I decided to give it a try. It was on In Demand (channel 201 on my cable) at 9PM Eastern and is on again right now in my part of Michigan. I've heard LaPierre speak before, but never heard Peters speak. I actually got my money's worth, since Peters actually laid out her "Moderate" gun control agenda.
I expected a completely blasting of the NRA and the US there since it was in London, but I thought it was handled very well. The moderator was professional and let them both speak. He was tough to all sides on questions and stuck me as an "old school" academic. The crowd leaned against us, but there were a few die hard pro-2a'ers there even in London. One was an English gunowner who called Peters' plan "Rubbish". He's welcome here anytime. :)
One thing I like about the event being in England. The rhetoric was less disguised on the part of the gun grabbers.
Opening Statements
Rebecca Peters - Blamed guns for worldwide suffering. She said most of the problems were in developed world, but the USA had a lot of gun problems as well. She said that guns disrupt peace keeping missions, hinder tourism and development of countries, causes domestic violence, and child soldiers(since guns are cheap). She said that 2/3 of guns are in private citizens. She said the gun industry is a $7.5 billion business. She said there were more guns than cars on earth. She attacked the USA and Europe for being arms manufacturers. She also blasted countries with lenient gun laws causing violence in countries with stricter laws. Used some African countries as an example, as well as the US(Canada and Mexico).
She said that Australia's "gun murder rate" went down after the 96 ban. Called it a moderate measure. Semi-auto ban and buybacks. She said the UK handgun ban was great except for a loophole.
As for the UN small arms treaty, Peters said that this was pre-Sept 11, and she wondered if it would be opposed this time. Said the US had trouble with claused in it to non state(government) groups.
Wayne LaPierre - He said that all sides want to end oppression. Said that the US is a very generous nation. He then said that Peters said that American Freedoms are the problem. He said the UN proposal would create a global bureaucracy and that IANSA wants to impliment its social engineering on the US. Compared the funding of the NRA ($35 checks)against IANSA's network of big benefactors.
He spoke about American self evident freedoms to defend themselves, families, and country and said that those who want to bargain freedom away for security doesn't have security, but only surrender.
He mentioned concealed carry and dropping crime rates, while the crime rates in UK and Australia increased. He said that good people need to be armed, bad people disarmed.
One question to Peters - Should US be forced to obey the UN treaty
Peters - This is not a UN treaty. It is a group of governments. She then called the treaty MODERATE measures. Treaties are the best way to go. Guns are the only weapon not covered by current treaties. The US is part of the world, and needs to be part of the world.
LaPierre - Treaties do not supercede the constitution. Said this bans civillian firearms ownership. Quotes Peters in 2000 attacking the first amendment for protecting alledged lies as long as it is political.
Peters - Said a global structure is needed, and that the NRA's view was that Americans were more equal than others.
The second Question was something about 'flood of guns into developing countries'
LaPierre - It's a flood of demand, not guns. Free people want constitutional freedoms and good government. In WWII, The US and NRA members send guns to Britain.
Peters - More guns makes no sense. Guns don't help, and stronger institutions are needed. Reform police.
Lapierre - Bad people and bad governments are the problem. Guns don't have legs(The gun didn't get up and shoot someone). Good people need to protect themselves.
Peters doesn't support banning all guns. She supports licensing, registration, bans on some categories of guns - including high powered, rapid fire, and limits on amount of guns owned. Said good people do bad things.
LaPierre - Quotes Peters from CNN supporting a ban on all guns that shoot over 100 meters. That's a football field. Also cites IANSA pamphlets.
Peters later said that all semi-autos and handguns should be banned. No guns should be owned for self-defense reasons. Single shots are good for deer hunting. Hanguns have no SPORTING PURPOSE, nor do semi-auto.
LaPierre later mentioned George Soros and his election manipulations and his support for IANSA. Also attacked Peters for saying gun makers should be sued.
Peters said every gun starts out legal. There isn't a different stack for criminals. Repeatedly at different times said that saying good people are seperated from bad people are is only in the movies. LaPierre repeated called IANSA a socialist fantasy.
Peters thinks the US "gun culture" will go away, that the US is not exempt from the rest of the world. We are all citizens of the world.
LaPierre called IANSA a global nanny. Mentioned Soros and elitists living behind security walls, and away from the real world. Victims deserve a chance to defend themselves.
Peters said the gun lobby was obstructing global progress. Guns aren't needed. Democracy is.
LaPierre brought up Rwanda, Pol Pot and other nations exterminating people, and that the UN did not intervene and was unable to protect them. He also said that IANSA thinks governments are soverign, not individuals.
Peters said that governments are needed and countered with the world moving away from Thomas Hobbes.
In the closing statements Peters mentioned Self Defense as not being a reason to own a firearm, and that anyone who owned a firearm for self defense in Australia was breaking the law. She said that as a positive thing.
LaPierre in his closing statement mentioned freedoms, George Soros and his 527s for manipulating elections and his ties to IANSA, and that IANSA's proposal is giving sweeping police powers against ALL of the US bill of rights, not just the 2nd amendment, and that it would create a global bureaucracy. Said that IANSA did not mention anywhere anything about oppressed people from governments, criminals, due process, self-defense, property rights, and respect for political freedom.
I believe it's around 200 million or so at last count.
One question: What did Ms. Peters look like?
No, just any gun with enough power to kill a tyrant would be banned from civilian ownership by Peters and her band of fools.
My screen name isn't just a name. It is a mindset and a way of life.
Here is a little quote from Henry Waxman:
"If someone is so fearful that, that theyre going to start using their weapons to protect their rights, makes me very nervous that these people have these weapons at all!"
She looked like a stereotypical leftist.
Her hair is shorter than mine, and I haven't even grown my out like I did last year.
Ban anything that shoots over 100 meters? Heck, a Red Ryder would probably do that.
Aren't Red Ryders also outlawed in England?
I hear she has three eyes and the one in her forehead is bovine. ;)
It's too bad the forum didn't allow for asking the sniveling b***h whether it was better that someone who is threatened by a criminal or a rogue Government, should be allowed to defend themself, or whether it's better that in such cases the individual simply be forced to perish "in the public interest".
That's the question that needs to be asked of these Socialist vipers, and asked over and over and over again while they try to sidestep the issue and avoid answering, until they finally crumble on camera.

Savage: Mean-faced clipped-haired
Sounds like a Kelly Reno-ish warthog.
I'd like to pin her down (like an insect on a specimen plate, yeah, sure) and get the skinny on what makes her mind work. It basically confirms that Ms. Peters' "work" won't end with civil disarmament but has everything to do with throwing herself on the side of "government" against the individual in the sovereignty debate.
OK this makes no sense. It is the Hobbesian view that governments are needed to control the savagery of mankind and maintain order. The Peters view of One Ring to Rule Them All is inherently Hobbesian.
No guns should be owned for self defense reasons according to Peters????...Oh...I see...when some whack job busts into your house at 2:00 a.m....just sit down and offer to make coffee and have a chat as to why their bad childhood caused all this...NOT!...The second I realize someone has broken in....their ass is mine.
G-- D--- it!! I am NOT a citizen of the world. If by some chance I missed the fact that I am, I hereby and publicly renounce my citizenship in the world. I am a citizen of the United States of America, at least until John Kerry or his ilk gets elected and sells us out to the UN by treaty.
Peters said that governments are needed and countered with the world moving away from Thomas Hobbes.
To paraphrase the Greek philosopher, "Only the dead have seen the last of Thomas Hobbes". Human nature hasn't changed in the six thousand years of recorded history, and sure as hell isn't going to change any time soon. What a fool.
Perhaps Lapierre was able to convert the English who saw it and remind the men at least, what the hell it is to be free. We need more global debate on this subject and more nations like England and Australia to return freedom to their people or their people to take their freedom back.
Well, well.... Looky here:
Do you think Wayne won the debate?
I know. She used to work for Soros as well. She was part of the "Open Society" institute which had a gun grab division to it. It concentrated on US gun laws.
Wayne did two things very well.
1. He tailored his message to the USA. Peters targetted her message more to England. If this debate wasn't going to be aired on PPV and was confined ONLY to England, that would be good, but England doesn't have to be convinced to sign(or not) this treaty. It's the USA, and Americans, through the senate and president. We're the 'swing vote'.
2. He got Peters and the gun grabbers to come out of hiding and debunk the "No one wants to take away your guns" myth. That's what he did best. The moderator there didn't want just talking points. He wanted speficics from both side, and LaPierre said what he IANSA's plan was. The moderator gave a follow-up question to Peters saying "Where would draw the line."
I'd say in England, Peters won. In the US, LaPierre won.
I certainly hope so. I can't think of where I'd put a dozen or so cars, and the insurance bill would really cripple my guns & ammo budget.
Peters doesn't support banning all guns.
She supports licensing, registration, bans on some categories of guns - including high powered, rapid fire, and limits on amount of guns owned.
Licensing is a way to regulate and tax guns nearly out of existence. Registration is a prelude to confiscation. Peters knows this very well and, in fact, it is part of her and her masters' plans. Molon Labe, Beotch!!!!
Said good people do bad things.
Send the Blue Helmets to collect our guns, beotch, then you'll see plenty of bad things. For a few hours or days, anyway; after that, you'll likely be looking at the inside cover of a casket for quite a while.
Peters later said that all semi-autos and handguns should be banned.
Go ahead, ban them. Then try to enforce the ban - YOU, not some kid that you and that evil bastich Soros hired on the backs of honest taxpayers. FMCDH!
No guns should be owned for self-defense reasons.
I'll bet that she'd change her tune if she was gang-raped while some sicko holds a shank to her throat. Of course, based on some of the descriptions above, not even the sickos are going to rape this fugly beotch, but that's neither here nor there.
Repeatedly at different times said that saying good people are seperated from bad people are is only in the movies.
Yet another dimbulb blissninnie. Why can't these people do something useful, like growing flowers or playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey in the middle of the interstate?
Peters said the gun lobby was obstructing global progress.
If she's for it, I'm against it.
Guns aren't needed.
Then why do the police, armed forces and private security forces of evil communistic billionaires and fat, drunken Senators from Assachusetts have them?
Democracy is.
Phuck Democracy, it's just mob rule (or not, depending on whether evil communistic billionaires are pulling the strings). Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner. Liberty is an armed sheep contesting the vote. I'll take Liberty, thank you very much - and if Peters and her ilk try to take mine, they're in for a very rude awakening (before their very unexpected dirt nap).
Thanks for voting.

how much are you knitting for Christmas this year? Last year I was too ambitious and really burnt out, so this year I'm keeping it to a minimum. A lace scarf for my mom, a pair of felted moccs for my dh, and socks for each of my kids, but I think that's it.
Last year I did felted moccs for 8 people and by the time Christmas came I never wanted to see a moccasin again!
