Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Rockford Fosgate Punch P200-2 by Buck Pomerantz My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. Rockford Fosgate Punch amps Rockford Fosgate continues to develop progressive sound technologies. Their aim to produce a smaller amplifier, with all the power and clarity you expect from the Punch name. Dynamic Thermal Management The award-winning "Dynamic Thermal Management" 3-stage cooling system uses forced air to dissipate heat evenly across the amp and out through the heatsink. The internal components in these compact amps stay cooler, resulting in higher efficiency and lower distortion. You get more installation options, without sacrificing wattage or audio quality. MEHSA cooling process MEHSA is a Rockford Fosgate proprietary process that increases the heat transfer from the MOSFET devices to the heatsink. This allows the heat to escape more readily from the amplifier, so that the transistors stay cooler. P200-2 Punch performance The P200-2 2-channel amplifier dispenses 50 watts RMS per channel to your speaker system, or you can bridge it to supply 200 watts RMS to a sub. You can tailor the sound with variable-frequency high- and low-pass filters, or use the onboard EQ to add some high- or low-frequency punch to compensate for your car's acoustics. An optional wired remote control lets you tweak the sound from the front seat for quick adjustments while you're on the road.

Features Controls Connections Features Cast Aluminum Heatsink: The cast aluminum heatsink dissipates heat generated by the amplifier's circuitry. The inherent advantage of casting provides a 30% improvement of cooling over conventional extrusion heatsink designs. Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM): DTM evenly distributes excess heat across entire amplifier heatsink. MEHSA³ (Maximum Efficiency Heat Sink Application-Third Generation): MEHSA is a Rockford Fosgate proprietary process that increases the heat transfer from the MOSFET devices to the heatsink. The multi-layer insulated metal MEHSA substrate operates with minimal thermal resistance, spreading heat both downward and outward to quickly dissipate heat from each device across the heatsink. This allows greater power output, enhanced thermal stability, and maximum reliability. Trans-ANA (TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier): Trans-ANA is a circuit that allows the audio signal to pass through the amplifier at low voltage. The signal is directly level-shifted to the fixed high voltage rails via a pair of drive transistors. Signal linearity is assured by an active node formed by the drive transistors at ultrasonic frequencies. The result is crystal clear sound quality. NOMAD (NOn-Multiplying Advanced Decision): NOMAD is an intelligent protection circuit that uses an analog computer to make real time decisions regarding temperature, voltage, current and impedance. The unit is protected without limiting sound output unless needed. TO-247 MOSFET: The Punch 200-2 utilizes ultra high performance MOSFET output devices, giving the amplifier more power handling capability as well as lower thermal impedance for more reliable operation, even under the harshest load conditions. DSM (Discrete Surface Mount): In the manufacturing process high speed robotics are used to place 1% tolerance parts and large board traces. DSM improves the efficiency of the circuit, decreases cross-talk from other discrete components and lowers operating temperature. Power and Protection LEDs: The LEDs are located on top of the amplifier. A blue Power LED illuminates when the amplifier is turned on. A red Thermal LED illuminates if the amplifier overheats. The yellow Protect LED illuminates if a short circuit or too low an impedance is detected at the speaker connections. When any of the protection circuits engage, the amp automatically shuts down until the problem is corrected. Controls Internal Crossover: The amplifier's internal crossover has a 12 dB/octave slope. It's selectable for high-pass, all-pass (full range), or low-pass operation and is variable from 50Hz to 500Hz. Punch EQ: Punch EQ works in conjunction with the crossover switch. When the crossover is set to low-pass, the Punch EQ acts as a variable bass boost; 0-18 dB at 45 Hz. When the crossover is set to high-pass, the Punch EQ acts as variable treble boost, 0-12 dB at 12 kHz. When the crossover is set to all-pass, both the bass and treble boost circuits are active. Connections Power Connections: The power and ground terminals are nickel-plated captive c-clamp wire connectors and will accommodate up to 4-gauge wire. An external 40-amp fuse (not included) must be installed on the power wire. If a wiring kit is used which includes a fuse with a value other than 40-amps, the original should be replaced with a 40-amp fuse. The remote turn-on terminal will accept wire sizes of 12- to 24-gauge. A Phillips-head or slotted screwdriver (not supplied) is required to tighten/loosen the terminals. Differential Input: Differential input circuitry measures the voltage of both the positive (+) and negative (-) portions of the input signal, subtracting the voltage common to both conductors (noise); resulting in a cleaner signal. Reducing the noise on the input then improves the sound quality of the output. Speaker Connections: The 2-channel nickel-plated clamp wire connectors will accept 8-gauge to 18-gauge wire. A Phillips-head or slotted screwdriver (not supplied) is required to tighten/loosen the terminals. Remote Punch EQ (PEQ) Connection: An RJ-45 jack is provided for connecting an optional remote PEQ control (575ROCKPEQ, sold separately). If you use the remote PEQ, the Punch EQ control on the amp is disabled, and replaced by the remote. Note: Previous model Punch Bass and Para-Punch remotes will not work with this amp.

Sounds great. I have this under my passenger seat and powering 2 JL coaxial door speakers. The combination is loud and crisp, is anything they are overly powerful. The build quality was very impressive. I've been listening for a month with no problems. Pros: Very powerful Build quality Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Amazin Amp.. Written By Nismo9132, Rhode Island on Thursday, February 18, 2010 I installed this along with new Rockford Fosgate Punch P1692 6x9 speakers.. I'm amazed at how much more bass I am getting now that I installed this amp which is not powering any subs, just the two 6x9s.. It sounds like I've got 2 subs in the trunk of my 09 Altima though.. Overall just an amazing combo.. Rockford Fosgate is the best.. there's no comparison. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Rockford Fosgate Punch P200-2 Written By Cody, Fort Collins, CO on Thursday, November 06, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome amp. I sure do love Rockford Fosgate. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Mixed feelings on this one Written By Michael, Connecticut on Monday, August 25, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Let me start by saying boy oh boy does RF ever under-rate their amps - I went through 3 of these (more later), and EVERY ONE made over 60% more power that it's rated for at 4ohms. That's right, over 80w on a 50w amp. Awesom! What's no so awesome is the "smart protection" circuit that RF employs, which replaces the on-board fuse. I had an issue with the remote turn on lead from my HU that blew 2 of these amps... Now, I can't say for sure that a traditional fuse would have protected me because I don't know exactly what went wrong, but I sure like to think it may have saved me. Fortunately the Cruthfield reps were kind enough to not only take back the blown amps, but lead me to a solution to keep the replacement from blowing up. Sound quality is what has me scratching my head. This is my first amp, so I really can't compare it to anything other than the HU, but I honestly didn't see a big gain in SQ over the 26w head I was running my Polk / Momo components off before... The lows definitely picked up some power, but I feel like they lost a touch of accuracy. As the previous reviewer mentioned, the highs became very bright, too much so on certain songs. I didn't detect a huge change in the mids, which when coupled with the aforementioned changes now seem slightly lifeless. I've played with all the settings on the amp and the HU and I've gotten it to a good point, but it's really not hugely better than it was $200 ago. 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Good Entry Level Amp Written By Jay, WI, USA on Sunday, June 29, 2008 I used this amp for about a year before submitting this review. It was driven by a high end Alpine HU into a set of very nice co-axial speakers running at full range. I was able to compare this amplifier to an older Alpine amplifier and a reference quality amplifier. All 3 amps have similar power ratings. Rockford's P200-2 amplifier is easily delivering the power that it's rated at and has great headroom. There is a nice, warm sound to the amp at moderate volumes. The warm, smooth bottom end is instantly noticed. However, this amp's main downfall is if you push the amp hard, the amplifier will alter high frequencies to the point of making things sound brittle and harsh. I never pushed the amp to audible clip (distortion) levels, but the change in high frequency tonalities was a big downfall to this amp. Bass response continues to be linear at all volume levels with great control over the drivers I was using. Construction seems to be good, but nothing near the vintage Punch series amps from the late '80's/early 90's. Reliability was excellent, though I don't abuse my gear. Power and speaker connections were good for this price point, though not overly solid. Overall, it's a great amplifier for a great price if you are on a strict budget and don't have a need for pushing the amp hard. If you are searching for high fidelity at higher output levels, move up to a better series of amplifier. 5 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 5 out of 5 NICE AMP!!! Written By Richard, ATL on Wednesday, November 07, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this amp to power the Rockford fosgate PL2-112 Preloaded Subbox and man does this thing hit I have it in a 2004 Acura TL. I got this set up to replace the Infinity Basslink II that I blew becuase I had to max it out to be satified with it. I have this on the factory settings and I am more than happy with the sound. My licene plate rattled at first till I "rigged" it. I used 4 guage speaker wire. I never bothered to review a product I bought untill now!!! 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 The Perfect Amp!! Written By Jonathan, Memphis, TN on Thursday, October 04, 2007 I drive a 2005 Chevy Colorado Crewcab, and, if you've ever been in one of these, you know there is not a great deal of space for a system. The size of this amp is what really drew me in(not to mention the legendary status of the Rockford Fosgate name). I have this amp bridged to 1 channel pushing a Pioneer TS-SW2541 shallow mount 10" in a 0.6 cu ft. box, and it sounds phenomenal. The specs on this site say 200W RMS x 1 @ 4 ohms bridged, but the certificate from RF that came with my amp(all RF amps have this certificate) shows that it put out 273W RMS x 1 @ 4 ohms when bench tested. WOW. I already have my doors covered in Dynamat, but I'm probably going to have to Dynamat the rest of the truck now because of this amp!! This amp is a beast. I HIGHLY recommend it for anyone; not just for those with limited space. 17 out of 19 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Add some sunniness to your toes with the yellow Orthaheel Women's Vionic Olivia, a youthful flat that can be worn anywhere from the workplace to a night out with friends. Simple, classic yet bright, the shoe provides reliable treading that will prevent falls and topnotch orthotic technologies to provide your feet, calves and more with unrelenting comfort.
Traits of the shoe include:
Your feet may take time to adjust to the supportive layout of the shoe. Therefore, only wear Orthaheel footwear for a few hours each day for the first two weeks, and you'll love the fit within no time.
Great arch support in this dressy, but comfortable flat. Dressy enough for work but comfortable enough for jeans.
Wide is more narrow than some Orthaheel Medium wides such as the Orthaheel Myla. In fact I ordered both a wide and a medium and there was precious little difference between the two, if any.
I wasn't impressed with the arch support either. Wasn't as high as other Orthaheel shoes I have, thus doesn't keep my feet from some pronation
Everything else about the shoes was fine.
Love the color. I don't need my orthotics!
These feel just great! I have arch and heel issues and these take care of both without a my custom orthotic. And so cute too! I am going to order other styles!
I love these cute shoes; I have them in the cobalt blue which is a lovely rich color. With an extremely long and horribly painful bout with plantar fasciitis, I mostly hobble around in my Orthaheel Tide flip flops for three seasons. But even in California we need to cover up our feet just a little in our "winter" months. Enter the Orthaheel Vionic Olivia! While certainly nothing I have found beats the Tide, this shoe is the next best thing. Darn good arch support and darling on the feet! One of the worst things to wear when you have PF is ballet flats which happen to be my favorite look in shoes. I am thrilled to be able to wear them again.
On the downside, I have had a very hard time breaking these shoes in. I get nasty blisters on the back of the heel if I wear them for too long. I think it has to do with the deep heel cup coupled with rigid material - it's a blessing and a curse. Great stability but bad rubbing on and around the Achilles area. I can't usually wear closed back shoes because I have narrow heels and they just don't stay on. These do stay on my heel well which is unusual for me. I have found, though, as time goes on I can wear them a little longer each time. Because I have such a limited choice in shoes, I am determined to work with these shoes until I can wear them for a full day. I'm going to try some of those adhesive heel pads and see if that help.
With all that said, I'm back for another pair in black. I would like to see if I cam remove the bow on the black ones for a more streamlined, true ballet flat look.
Darling little shoes, but they were too tight across the base of the toes. Did have great experience on the return, quick refund and no hassle.
My new favorite shoes! I've gotten two colors so far - might have to go back for more! I have plantar fasciitis and never thought I'd be able to wear such cute shoes. I finally have some cute shoes that I can wear all day without my feet hurting! Thank you Orthaheel!! You have a fan for life!

En español | Hoping to ride the wave of boomer nostalgia, carmakers are updating classics like the 1964 Mustang convertible shown here and reviving dormant brands including the Dodge Dart. We rounded up some old favorites and paired them with their contemporary counterparts. Let's drive!
Tom Kelley/Getty Images
Spearheaded by Lee Iacocca, the first so-called pony car was a game-changer on its unveiling at the '64 World's Fair: More than 22,000 models flew out of showrooms the first day. Ford's yearlong 50th-birthday celebration culminates with the release of a 6th-generation Mustang next spring.
1964: FPG/Getty Images. 2013: Ford Motor Company
The original model was a full-size sedan but the Dart is best remembered in its 1967 compact form, often modified for drag-racing. By the time Dodge ended production in 1976, the Dart was known as a granny car. Nobody knocks it now: Today's Dart was inspired by Alfa Romeo's Giulietta.
1960: Bettmann/Corbis. 2013: Dodge Brand Media/AP
Launched as a two-door coupe in 1966, the Charger was a hit with NASCAR drivers and lead-footed consumers. It achieved TV stardom as The General Lee on The Dukes of Hazzard but was out of production by 1978. The muscle car charged back to life in 2006 as a four-door sedan.
1966: Performance Image/Alamy 2012: Transtock/Corbis
What could compete with the Mustang? Chevy's answer: the Camaro. Debuting in 1967, the car peaked in popularity in the 1970s. Sales slowly faded until Chevy retired the model in 2002. It returned in 2010, aiming to "unite customers with fond memories" of past Camaros.
1967: Pat Brollier/Source Interlink Media/Getty Images. 2013: General Motors
The original Mini's tiny-box design made this British import a touchstone of the 1960s. BMW purchased the Mini line in the mid-1990s, then brought out its new version in 2001. Although the car is still manufactured in Britain, the Mini's maximum sales are in the United States.
1960 and 2013: BMW
First produced in 1953, the zippy Corvette took its name, aptly, from a small, fast gunship. Today, "Corvette" is synonymous with "American sports car." The model has never gone out of production. The 2014 version is the first since 1976 to carry the "Stingray" moniker from the '60s and '70s.
1953: Car Culture/Corbis. 2014: Alan Vanderkaay/General Motors
When Cadillac released its Eldorado Convertible in 1953, the carmaker's name was a quintessentially American brand of success. Sales dipped at the end of the 20th century, but Cadillac — 111 years old this year — has rebounded with hits like the CTS sedan (shown here) and luxury SUV Escalade.
1953 and 2014: General Motors
The Italian import's adorable size (it was named for its 500 cubic-centimeter engine) made it countercultural in the late-1950s era of huge cars. Fiat, which is now the majority stakeholder in Chrysler, produced the 500 until 1976, then revived the car for its 50th anniversary in 2007.
c. 1959: Chrysler Group, LLC. 2013: PRNewsFoto/Chrysler Group LLC/AP Images
Eclipsed by the more elegant design of the Mustang and Camaro, the Challenger was produced only from 1970 to 1975. The name briefly reappeared on a late-1970s subcompact, then roared back to life — and to its muscle-car roots — in 2008 with a sleek shape that honors the original.
1970: Tom Wood/Alamy. 2013: PRNewsFoto/Chrysler Group LLC/AP Images
If it ain't broke, don't fix it: The classic American pickup truck was introduced in 1948 and has been in production ever since. Each year brings a few new tweaks, but the country's best-selling truck for more than half a century proves that consistency yields success.
1948 and 2013: Ford Motor Company
After an ignominious start (Hitler commissioned the first models) the VW Beetle became the most famous small car on the planet. Its popularity flagged after its '60s heyday, then exploded after a '90s reboot. A model due next year uses iPhone technology: It's called — what else? — the iBeetle.

CHRISTMAS DECOR AND HOLIDAY ENTERTAINING IN AN APARTMENTMonday, December 12th, 2011
For the very first time since we've moved in together (that's 4 years now!), Allan and I decided to decorate our little apartment with Christmas decorations. And let's face it, when I say "Allan and I", I really mean me, since Allan would much rather be playing video games than doing holiday decorations Plus, I'll be honest — I've been suffering a little bit from wedding withdrawal, and I've been dying for an excuse to do floral arrangements, place settings and entertaining
Over the past two weeks, I've decorated our home space, the common room at work, and my parent's house. I've been elfing it up this year for some reason! Normally we do Christmas completely over at my parent's place as they have space to do the big tree… and while Christmas will most definitely still be over there, we are having my folks over for Christmas breakfast this year and wanted to prep the apartment in advance. I decided to do a silver and champagne Christmas theme with red accents.
We hosted a holiday dinner party this past weekend with Trev & Crista and Mat & Ali and managed to find some space for our pop-up table. Seating 6 around this table in our apartment is difficult, so swapped our normal computer desk for a "rolly" desk that we can roll into a different room when we have people over. Awesome! Then it was time for new place settings! I also did all the floral arrangements with fresh roses and Christmas greens.
Low flower arrangements with large red roses and berries.
I really like the way our place settings turned out and I think they are versatile enough to use all year round. Or do you think it would be too much for normal entertaining?
Here's a silver wreath we used to bring some festivity to our kitchen.
And my favourite… a fresh wreath with peppercorns, pinecones and tons of greens… smells so good!
Our side table was replaced with some silver Christmas trees and mercury glass candle holders…
… a couple other accents here and there with reindeer and more candles.
The aftermath of our dinner party with some holiday decor on our coffee table and a festive throw blanket.
I find cooking for 6 people really hard to do with plated dinners, so we did quite a bit of prep the previous night. I learned how to clarify butter for the first time (awesome for searing scallops at an extremely high temperature). I also toasted the pumpkin seeds, prepped the chocolate decorations and the veggies to give the pasta some colour.
The next day, we put the kobe-style marbled beef short ribs in the oven for four hours and got the butternut squash soup going. Some photos of our prep with making the sage sauce, and the minted pea puree.
Allan did a really nice job with the striped raviolis. We did beet-coloured ravioli for the butternut squash filled ones, and spinach-coloured ravioli for the wild mushroom filled ones.
First course: Butternut Squash Soup with Roasted Pumpkin Seeds and Pumpkin Seed Oil, finished with a Parmesan Crisp … we always seem to make this one when other people come over! (recipe)
Second Course: Seared Scallops in a Minted Pea Puree with Applewood Double-Smoked Bacon
Third Course: Braised Beef Short Rib in a Red Wine Reduction with Cauliflower Puree and duo of Wild Mushroom and Butternut Squash Ravioli in a Brown Butter Sage Sauce (recipe)
Fourth Course: Tiramisu Cheesecake with Chocolate Decoration and Strawberries (recipe)
Overall I think our dinner party went well and our apartment is looking festive! I think we're all set for the holidays…. can't wait for Christmas! Can you believe it's only 2 weeks away now?
What are your holiday plans this year? Are you going to decorate your place?

The Baratza Vario is a commercial grinder that is also perfect for the home. The 54mm ceramic flat burrs keep the coffee cool by limiting the amount of heat transferred from the burrs to the grinds. The Grind-on-Demand feature with Electronic Dosing means you grind only the coffee you require for each shot directly into your espresso portafilter, thus eliminate the risk of stale ground coffee being left behind in the dosing unit. Housed in a sleek contemporary design, the Baratza Vario...

With the Baratza Virtuoso Preciso, micro adjustments let you fine tune the grind for optimal results when brewing espresso. Like its predecessor, the Virtuoso, this model has 40 grind settings. However, with the addition of 11 micro adjustments, you'll be able to tweak fineness levels in between each of the 40 settings to adjust your grind. Alternating between French-press coffee and espresso (and everything in between) has never been easier. The Baratza Virtuoso Preciso is built...

Dean, can you tell me the length of the limb bolts on your jaguar?

Dean, can you tell me the length of the limb bolts on your jaguar?
FYI: http://www.martinarchery.com/mtechfo...ed=1#post15380
I don't have the bow in front of me. but I think the threaded portion is about 1.75" long. I think they are the same bolts that they use on their compounds.
Hope this helps.
Don't get me wrong... I'm a Martin fan. I love my X-200 and just acquired a Mountaineer. I've also got a Damon Howatt Bandito.
My first Jaguar arrived to my door on Monday. It had no string, it had no rest, it had no manual, it had no limb bolts. The limbs appeared to be "unfinished". Ok, to be fair, my eye may have become a little more critical since I'm applying the finish to my first longbow (built from scratch), but, the limbs appeared to have arrived without being finish sanded, and had no "finish" on them. A real concern for me, given that I live in Western Washington, where it's always raining. I spoke with Joel at Martin, and he's promised to make the bow right. I sent it back to him Monday afternoon.
Today... the "second" Jaguar bow I ordered arrived to my door. It's "complete" as far as the "parts" contained within the box. The limbs fit into the bow nicely, and appear to work just fine... however... the "finish" on these limbs is not what I expect from a Martin product. If I'm not "careful"... sliding my hands along the limbs COULD result in getting slivers. That's NOT an issue with my X-200, nor with my Mountaineer. Again... my eye/hands are becoming more critical after making my own longbow, and the Mountaineer appears to've been sanded with 220 grit and a few coats of clear sprayed on it... it's sure not "glassy smooth"... I know, it's a production bow. But, I really don't think seeing "Martin" on the limbs (this second Jaguar)of a bow which will give me splinters (literally) is what buying a "Martin" bow is all about. If it was being marketed as a "finish it yourself bow"... I'd be tickled pink and wouldn't think a thing of it.
I've got the Howatt produced limbs on mine, and I am happy with them. You can see some slight sanding marks on the sides of the limbs if held up into the light just right, but they are smooth if you run your fingers down them. I am not expecting a custom finished product for the price, but am happy with what they are. Definately no chance of catching a sliver as you described with the ones that you recieved.
I'm sure Martin will take care of any issues that you have.
Good luck!
The Martin Tech Forum isn't the only forum buzzing about the Martin Jaguar Recurve. Seems everyone is curious and many others chasing shadows about the Jaguar, i.e. overseas limbs, Howatt limbs, old overstock risers, new risers, etc. Also, you have to balance out the comments made by over optimistic, bias moderators and those that would criticize their own grandmothers. The determining factor for me is the Martin reputation for quality; if it's not right, they'll make it right.
I'm still waiting for mine, ordered March 16th, and I just ordered another this morning. That will total eight bows for me, three Black Widows, one Horne's Archery and four Martins. Yes, I shoot them all.
There is wisdom in your words SandSquid. Where are you from?
Navy I.S.? Did you go to school in Virginia?

June 2005: Phase II of the Anti-War Movement
By Medea Benjamin
The continued violence in Iraq, the daily deaths of US soldiers, and the non-stop drain of financial resources has finally moved the anti-war sentiment from a much-maligned minority position to a mainstream one. A Gallup poll June 6-8 found that 6 in 10 Americans advocated a partial or full withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and for the first time, a majority said they would be upset with the president if he decided to send more troops. An Associated Press poll showed only 41% approved of Bush's handling of Iraq. With such negative perceptions of the war and 2006 midterm elections approaching, an increasing number of elected officials have finally started to listen to the public and push for an exit strategy.
Thursday, June 16 was a snapshot of just how much the ground has shifted. The day started off with a press conference of strange bedfellows announcing the first bi-partisan Congressional resolution calling for an exit strategy. Appearing together before the press were two liberal DemocratsDennis Kucinich from Ohio and Neil Abercrombie from Hawaiiwith Republican libertarian Ron Paul from Texas and even more astonishing, conservative Republican Walter Jones from North Carolinathe very same congressman who pushed the House cafeterias to scrap "French fries" from the menu and serve up "freedom fries."
Their new resolution, with a counterpart in the Senate introduced by Russ Feingold, calls on George Bush to announce a withdrawal timetable by the end of the year and start bringing American troops home by October 1, 2006. It has no end date for full withdrawal, and has a longer timeline for initiating the pull-out than many of us would have liked, but it's as far as the Republicans were willing to go and it's certainly a step in the right direction. Rep. Kucinich called it the beginning of the end of the war in Iraq.
Giving Rep. Kucinich's remark more punch is the fact that on the very same day, Congresswoman Maxine Waters from California announced the formation of a new Congressional Caucus succinctly labeled the Out of Iraq Caucus, with 41 members already signed on. We can no longer keep quiet waiting for our Party to speak out against this war, she said in her press release. "The American people are expecting us to provide leadership to end this war and bring our troops home. The Caucus plans to coordinate Congressional anti-war activities, including legislative strategies, press events, liaison with national peace groups, and support for families and veterans against the war.
Thursday also marked a step forward for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who represents the solidly anti-war district of San Francisco but has refused to take leadership against the war. On Thursday she introduced an amendment to the 2006 defense spending measure that would require Bush to report to Congress within 30 days on his criteria for bringing troops home. While defeated, it got an impressive 200 votes.
But the real hero of the day was Rep. John Conyers Jr., the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, who made history on Thursday by holding a hearing on the scandalous Downing Street memo and then hand-delivering to the White House over 560,000 signatures of American citizens demanding answers to critical questions raised by the memo.
The Republicans forced Rep. Conyers to hold the hearing in a cramped basement room, and much of the mainstream press either ignored or belittled his efforts. But Rep. Conyers has tapped a wellspring of support from an angry public that sees the Downing Street memo as the smoking gun proving that the Bush administration was determined to go to war back in July 2002 and fixed the intelligence to fit the policy.
The witnesses at the hearing included constitutional lawyer John C. Bonifaz, who said that if the documents were proven to be true, the president may have violated a federal law against misleading Congress, and his actions would be grounds for impeachment. Cindy Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in Iraq, said the memo confirmed that the leadership of this country rushed us into an illegal invasion of another sovereign country on prefabricated and cherry-picked intelligence. She chided Congress for handing its responsibility to declare war over to the president, and said that a full investigation into the Downing Street Memo would be a good beginning for Congress to redeem itself for abandoning the Constitution and the American people.
Two dozen Congresspeople showed up at various times during the hearing to show their support. Afterwards, Conyers and seven other representatives hand-delivered two huge stacks of petitions to the White House, and then joined a spirited rally organized by Code Pink and Progressive Democrats of American on behalf of the coalition AfterDowningStreet.com.
Before an enthusiastic crowd of about 800 people, Rep. Conyers and the other representatives vowed to continue to push for the truth, for accountability and for an end to the war.
It was quite a day, and all of us left with a renewed sense of possibilities and responsibilities. The peace movement, demoralized after the unsuccessful efforts to both stop the war and get George Bush out of office, must lift itself out of the doldrums and into the streets and the corridors of power. We must push our representatives to sign on to the new legislation, keep demanding an investigation into the Downing Street Memo, and pressure the media to cover these new developments in a serious, respectful way. We should march in July 4 parades with the Bring the Troops Home message, reinvigorate our local vigils, step up the counter-recruitment efforts that are making it so difficult for the military to get enough new soldiers for this war. And the next big anti-war mobilization scheduled for September 24 in Washington DC, coupled with lobbying on September 26, must be huge.
We've got new momentum. Now let's ride the wave.
Medea Benjamin (firstname.lastname@example.com), cofounder of CODEPINK and Global Exchange, is co-editor of the new book Stop the Next War Now.

The owner of an East Bay private equity firm has assumed control over a Moss Landing desalination project proposed by Monterey Peninsula developer Nader Agha.
At late Wednesday's Pacific Grove City Council meeting, Don Lew of Concord-based JDL Development LLC announced he had taken over the project — formerly known as the People's Moss Landing Desal Project, now named the Regional Desalinization Project at Moss Landing Commercial Park — and that Agha was no longer involved. Sources said Lew told the council he was assembling an expert team to back the proposal, though he didn't offer many specifics.
Lew, who was accompanied by former Pacific Grove mayor and current WaterPlus Executive Director Carmelita Garcia, made the announcement during an update on three local desal projects: the former People's Project; a proposal from California American Water working its way through the Public Utilities Commission; and a proposal from DeepWater Desal.
DeepWater Desal's proposal is also at Moss Landing and recently secured an agreement with the city of Salinas to develop desalinated water and wholesale power for use and sale.
Agha had reached an agreement on a preliminary partnership with Pacific Grove on the People's Project last summer.
In a release issued Thursday, Agha announced Lew was "joining the Moss Landing Commercial Park as Senior Managing Director" to oversee the development of the project, noting Lew's experience as an engineer with Bechtel Power Corp. Lew worked for Bechtel for about six years in the 1970s, building nuclear and coal-fired power plants. His online resume touts investment banking and corporate finance experience with Drexel Burnham Lambert, Merrill Lynch and Credit Suisse, along with private mortgage banking experience.
Neither Lew nor Agha would agree to speak to The Herald, and Lew said he was declining on Agha's advice.
Lew would only say he was "working to make sure everyone's expectations are met." He referred to media coverage as a "source of contention in the community" and said he would "rather be judged by performance rather than what was said or promised."
Lew apparently has acquired a controlling interest in the Moss Landing Commercial Park site, previously owned by Agha. Sources said he has reported discussing his proposal with the state Public Utilities Commission, Cal Am, Dynegy (which owns the power plant on the site), the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District and an unnamed national desal project contractor.
According to sources, Lew has been exploring the possibility of his proposal being studied at the project level in the PUC's environmental review of Cal Am's project, along with a public-private partnership and water purchase agreement with Cal Am. Sources said he is also exploring a potential agreement with the water management district, which is issuing a call for current and potential desal project proposals as a contingency if Cal Am's proposal fails.
The talks with Dynegy apparently involve access to the power plant's energy resources, as well as its intake and outfall capacity.
Cal Am spokeswoman Catherine Bowie confirmed Cal Am officials have met and talked to Lew, starting several months ago, but said there have been no formal discussions and the company remains committed to its current proposal.
Water management district General Manager Dave Stoldt acknowledged talks with Lew going back a few weeks, and said the district's staff is looking into his proposal.
"We're talking, but we're doing our own investigation," Stoldt said.
Pacific Grove City Manager Thomas Frutchey said the City Council would likely consider the future of its agreement with Agha as soon as its next meeting Jan. 2, but is "clearly on the sidelines."
"We're all still trying to figure out the ramifications," Frutchey said, saying talks with Agha had largely stalled.
Councilman Dan Miller said Lew's proposal and its impact were "kind of nebulous right now" and said he believed this was an opportunity for the city to "take a step back" and assess the situation with so many new developments occurring.
Miller said the city initially got involved because no other public agency was. He said the city now has a number of other water-related initiatives on its plate, including a formal role in Cal Am's project proceedings at the PUC and three smaller, supplemental water-supply projects being studied as part of the PUC's environmental review.
"There are a whole lot of questions that need to get answered," Miller said. "It's probably best to just step back and see what happens."
In Thursday's release, Agha said Lew was "looking forward to working with the City of Pacific Grove as the potential public agency."
Miller said Agha has paid more than $60,000 of the city's costs in working on the project agreements, and had agreed to pay up to $650,000 for the city's efforts, including an EIR.

Kids Are Skipping Lunch, But Eating Breakfast
The good news: 13.15 million kids in the U.S. ate breakfast during the 2012-2013 school year — up from 12.81 from 2011-2012. Bad news: Lunch consumption is down, especially among students who have to pay for their own lunch. A new study found that 30.9 million from 2012-2013 ate lunch compared to 31.9 million the year before, writes USA Today.

Homemade Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Truffles
- Posted on
- 59 Comments
My cute neighbor Summer made these for me a couple of months ago and I have been hooked ever since. I have a crazy addiction to all things chocolate and peanut butter and these little balls of goodness hit the spot! The recipe makes A TON, so you can share with your friends and neighbors or throw them in your freezer for when you need a little "pick-me-up".
-1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
-1 lb powdered sugar
-1 cup peanut butter
-10-12 graham cracker sheets (I just used one whole "sleeve" of graham crackers and didn't actually count how many were in there . . . so it is just a guess that there are 10-12 whole crackers)
-dipping chocolate, melted
Put graham crackers in a food processor or plastic Ziploc bag and beat until they are finely crushed. Mix butter, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and graham crackers together in large bowl. Roll into 1" balls. Place rolled balls on large cookie sheet (I lined my cookie sheet with parchment paper) and stick in the freezer for about 20 minutes. In the meantime, melt dipping chocolate. Once the peanut butter balls have set up, dip in chocolate and place back on cookie sheet. Let set up before serving/sharing with neighbors (but you can pop a few in your mouth just to test them and make sure they are safe to eat- it's a chance that I am always willing to take).
Makes 6-7 dozen truffles.
You can also make these look like a Reese's peanut butter cup- purchase mini-cupcake holders or candy paper cups on a large tray. Pour a small spoonful of chocolate in the bottom of each cup, add a flattened peanut butter ball in the middle, then pour a little more chocolate on top to cover it up.

Woah, mama. Sign me up! http://bellesbazaar-heather.blogspot.com
Oh me. I am in love. Thanks for sharing!
Umm… this looks amazingly good!! I'm going to try it with gluten free graham crackers
PS. Love the new header!
Where do you find gluten-free graham crackers?! I've been wishing they existed.
Also, does anyone know how many cups of crumbs these 10-12 graham cracker sheets make? Thanks.
You can make this without the graham cracker and they are to die for! I crush peanuts and drizzle over the dipped chocolates. They also freeze well too.
What a great recipe! Can't wait to try it. Love your posts!
Oh good grief…my jeans will NEVER forgive me!!!!
Oh my, seriously? Yum.
Ooooh my biggest sweet weakness! I have the little Wilton truffle mold, too, and I've been scouring the 'net for things to do with it
I had to catch my breath for this one!! My favorite- these are deadly delicious, you temptresses you!!
I have also been lucky enough to have been on the receiving end of these amazing little treats from Summer. Wow! They are so good. Can't wait to try the recipe.
You had me at Whipperberry! LOL
Anne @ Domesblissity xx
Yummy looking recipe… Donna Hay has something simmilar in a slice. I wonder what I could use instead of graham crackers. We don't have those in Australia.
Digestive biscuits would be pretty similar, do you have those?
P.S. I LOVE your new headder!!! It's awesome. Did you have someone do the graphics for you?
Yum! These look awesome! Linked to you from Friday Favorites!
You kill me with all your yumminess. I haven't even had breakfast yet, but am wanting peanut butter and chocolate:> Thanks for sharing all your yummy treats and linking up:>
LOVE these!
OH, I have to make these! Thanks for sharing.
Am I reading this right … 1 POUND of powdered sugar?
Hi Kassie! Yes, it is a pound of powdered sugar! It makes seriously a TON of truffles (6 to 7 dozen!), so if you wanted to half this recipe, you totally could!
SO super yummy and we made them gluten free! Now i know what my children are gettting when i load them up with sugar!
Please share how you made them GF,
I took these to a tailgate a few months back. They were gone pretty darn quick. All my friends love them and so do i. Oh well so much for that diet!
Graham crackers in my area come in a sheet of two graham crackers. Do you mean a 10-12 whole sheets of two?
Please clarify exactly what "dipping chocolate" is for those of us who are not experienced candy makers. They do look delis!
These are fantastic! Just made them to take to Easter dinner tomorrow. Dipped half in milk chocolate, half in white chocolate. I know they'll be a HIT!!!
I also made these and they were great! I did the half dark cocoa and half white chocolate (Wilton's melts work great!)as teacher's gifts at the end of the school year! I gave my mom a few extra and needless to say, I am making these for our 4th of July party since my mom loved them so much!
These look fantastic! Quick question…if you don't eat the entire batch in one sitting (!!!), do they need to be kept in the refrigerator? Thanks so much for this, and all your amazing recipes!
I didn't keep mine in the fridge and they were still delicious . . . however, they might be really good cold on a hot day!
Saw this on pinterest…this is a similar recipe to what I make every year for Christmas and they are delicious…even better dipped in white chocolate. I always make some of each God Bless!
I just tried these and they are delicious and soooo easy to make. yummmmm
this looks very good.. My family actually does this recipe, but we call it Chocolate Balls and do it during Christmas time. Some put coconut in it (my family altered the recipe for my distaste for coconut).
I've been making these for years. Seriously one of the best recipes ever.
I make something similar but use rice Crispies cereal in place of the gram crackers I call them peanut butter bon bons
thanks for sharing.
I'd like to share this recipe on my blog, with a link back to this post. I'll send you the link when it's up. Can't wait to make these!
Thank you! Just made these…the texture is really close to a Reese's, but I had to add salt (well to be fair I did use unsalted butter to begin) to get it to the right saltiness to combat the super sweetness. I didn't really keep track of how much I used, I added 1/2 tsp at a time until it tasted right to me. I'm a big fan of the salty sweet combo though. I might try using pretzels instead of graham crackers next time to get that extra saltiness in there. Great recipe!
These r the best…I have not found a person out there that didn't like them:)
Can anyone tell me what a lb of powdered sugar is in cups? Also is powdered sugar the same thing as icing sugar? Thanks! Looks yummy!
The very first original recipe of this is used with rice krispies instead of grahm crackers..tastes way better too.
I was wondering how many Rice Krispies to use? My grand daughter is gluten intolerant, and I simply don't have the time to make graham crackers. I do however have GF Rice Krispies.
We have no idea what the conversion from graham crackers to rice krispies would be. Sorry we are not much help in this area. We wish you all the best with this. -The Six Sisters

Just finished making these, so easy and yummy!!! I put them in the freezer!
hi! I Can you please let me know if they can be kept for a few days outside the refrigerator?
They should be fine outside of the refrigerator for a few days! That's what we did with ours.
Sabeeta – I found a similar recipe that calls for 3 cups of crushed rice crispie treats (we going to use the gluten free ones). I'm making it tomorrow night so I'll chime in about the results!
I made these for my husband, for fathers day, and they are so, so good.
but I just noticed while I was reading through your comments, that I only used 1 cup of powdered sugar instead of 1 pound.
they had to stay in the fridge,or they got to soft.I'm just glad my mistake was so good.
Now I will have to try the real recipe.
Delicious! Thanks for posting the recipe. My family were eating these as soon as the chocolate was set enough to touch, good thing the recipe makes so many!
Made these tonight and did not have enough dipping chocolate so I have about 2 dozen naked peanut butter balls left over. Also….making these in the summer is kind of tough. It's hot out. I left them in the freezer for 20 min….pulled them out and they were close to frozen but not. By the time I got the first few dipped the others were getting mushy. The mushier they got the harder they were to dip. They would fall apart in my hands while dipping. (so I ate those ones!) I used a tooth pick to spear and dip them but as they warmed in the heat of the summertime soon the toothpicks were even ripping them in half. They taste good….but they are pretty messy to make and due to them being so sloppy they aren't as attractive to look at as I would want them to be to present at a party or get together. Since I prefer no bake receipies to be easy….and these were so messy they became difficult, I probably wont be making these again.
Any tips on rolling them in the chocolate? While these tasted awesome they didn't look so pretty . Thx
Can anyone Tell me how many cups of powdered sugar…I have found so many answers but don't know what it best
Hi! If I want to make these for Christmas how far in advance can I make them that they'll keep? Thanks!
Got this recipe from a friend's (Pam Fischl) mother . Their recipe uses half chocolate chips and half butterscotch chips for melting. I changed it to a 3:1 ratio (more chocolate) but that butterscotch kick really makes it special.
Has anyone tried this with cinnamon graham crackers?

Theres TZ7's on ebay atm selling for around £190 with a 8GB card, i believe these are the US versions that does not have the recording time limit.

Conflict Minerals
Understanding compliance challenges
Conflict minerals are defined as those minerals and derivatives (as designated from time to time by the U.S. Secretary of State) that fund illegal armed troops in the DRC and adjoining countries. Over 5.4 million people have died within the countries that make up the conflict mineral zone since 1996. The U.S. Congress signed the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act into law on July 21, 2010. Section 1502 of the Act aims at deterring — through increased transparency of companies' sourcing practices — the extreme violence and human rights violations in the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighboring countries, which are funded by the exploitation and trade of certain minerals. Companies should evaluate their own internal capabilities to fully understand the course of action to take in terms of implementing new regulations.
These metals are widely used in several industries, including electronics and communications, aerospace, automotive, jewelry, healthcare devices, and diversified industrial manufacturing, among others.
The conflict mineral zone
The DRC and adjoining countries provide:
- 17% of the global production of tantalum
- 4% of the global production of tin
- 3% of the global production of tungsten
2% of the global production of gold
Source: The EICC-GeSI Extractives Work Group report on Conflict Minerals released May 30, 2011
The SEC rule has a number of areas subject to significant judgment for which additional guidance has not been published.
|"Contract to manufacture"
|"Necessary to the functionality" and "necessary to production"
|This term is undefined, and is generating a number of questions about how to interpret it. For example, if a company is selling canned meat, is the product the meat, the can, or both? What about a company that sells products that require some sort of a protective covering to keep the product fresh. Is the product covering relevant to the discussion or just the product inside the protective covering? These examples illustrate the issue faced by companies in determining "products" in scope.
|Issuers that "contract to manufacture" may be subject to the rule depending on the "degree of influence" over the manufacturing process of a product. It is unclear at what point a company's degree of influence is significant enough to fall within the rule's coverage. The rule does highlight that an issuer is not subject to the rule when it solely:
1. Specifies or negotiates contractual terms with a supplier that do not directly relate to the manufacturing of the product (e.g., training, technical support, price, intellectual property rights)
2. Affixes its brand, marks, logo, or label to a generic product
3. Services, maintains, or repairs a product manufactured by a third party
|According to the rule, "conflict minerals must be intentionally added to or present in the product (not an accidental by-product), necessary for the product's intended purpose or to produce it, and if added to the product for purposes of decoration, the primary purpose of the product must be decorative or ornamental." The rule provides a few examples but no clear definition to assist in the determination of what constitutes something being necessary to a products intended purpose.
|"Reasonable country of origin inquiry"
"Reasonably reliable representations," "reason to believe," "may have originated," "may not have come from"
|"Conflict mineral report and independent private sector audit"
|According to the rule, companies that learn that their products contain conflict minerals must conduct a "reasonable country of origin" inquiry. There is no model provided as to what a reasonable country of origin inquiry may be; only that it must be performed in good faith. The lack of guidance is creating difficulties for companies to understand if their attempts at determining whether their conflict minerals were sourced from a covered country, scrap/recycled sources, or both is "reasonable."
|Within the provisions on the reasonable country of inquiry and due diligence process, key terms and phrases are not clearly defined, thus causing companies to interpret the terms differently.
