Both Gunnison and white-tailed prairie dogs live in Utah, especially the eastern portions of the state. They have been petitioned for listing on the endangered species list. Sarah Lupis from the Utah State University Extension Service has been working with the areas of Utah where these two types of prairie dogs live.
"We need to be proactive with this project and prove that these two species are not endangered," said Lupis. Threats to these species are plague, land development, oil and gas development, shooting and poisoning. Lupis said there is statewide and rangewide planning taking place now.
"We have partnered with the Division of Wildlife Resources in the planning process to address these threats. We need to provide strategies for management to preclude the need for listing of these species. This plan includes a focus on land owners rights and human health issues," added Lupis.
She said beginning in 2008, rangewide monitoring will be done. The DWR will complete an occupancy model on private and public lands. If those numbers are high enough, there will be proof that listing is not necessary.
A draft of this management plan has be developed and can be read on the Internet at www.utahcbcp.org and then click other projects. Comments are encouraged and input is welcome until Nov. 9.
Following the comment period, necessary revisions will be made to the plan and a final plan will be developed. Gunnison prairie dogs are found in San Juan County and the white-tailed prairie dogs are the ones found in Emery County.

Go figure: We try to get close and stay close in a relationship — but our tactics often put a strain on the very bonds we're trying to strengthen. Why not try breaking new ground? Get close with a partner yoga practice, and see how you can use it to strengthen your connection while having fun together.
A form of Hatha yoga in which partners support each other in modified asana (yoga pose) sequences, partner yoga is an increasingly popular concept that's been interpreted in a variety of ways — from AcroYoga to Couples Yoga to Mom-and-Baby Yoga. Each offers a unique opportunity to relate deeply to another person — whether it's someone with whom you plan (or hope) to share your life, or a new friend you've just met in class.
Working with a partner can also help you move beyond your own self-limiting ideas of what you can and can't do, says yoga teacher and healing artist Mishabae Mahoney from Bainbridge Island, Wash. Mahoney has developed a system of partner yoga called Balance Arts, a flowing vinyasa yoga practice focused on strengthening bonds between couples. Her book Lovers' Knot: The Art of Sensual Partner Yoga guides individual and partnered practices that explore yoga and sex as powerful healing arts.
4 ways to get the right start in partners yoga
1. Don't assume couples yoga is only for couples.
Some partner yoga classes allow you to sign up as a solo participant and seek out a partner in the class itself. If you go this route and you're new to partners yoga, try to pair with a student who's about your height and weight. Mahoney notes that as you get used to the practice, learning to adapt the postures to two different body types is a rewarding challenge.
2. Don't expect miracles.
If you begin a couples yoga class with an existing partner, talk with each other before going to the first class about what you want from this. Try not to let your expectations get overblown in terms of how the class can remedy any specific relationship challenges you're having. Go in with an open mind and heart — not with a sense that this is going to fix something, but a willingness to learn and grow together by sharing and connecting through yoga.
3. Be ready to be giving.
As a supportive partner, your role is to listen as well as share openly, and to treat the person you're practicing with as you'd like to be treated. Sound familiar? By exploring physical give-and-take, you and your partner can dive deeply into the principles that govern successful, supportive friendships and loving relationships.
4. Enjoy the moment.
Be present and focus on each other during your partner yoga class or practice — and try not to take anything too seriously, cautions Mahoney. "Take a deep breath and relax. Laugh together. Partner yoga is full of the hilarious and the divine."
A partners yoga pose sequence to try
Child's Pose is a simple favorite to explore with a partner, Mahoney says. "Everyone loves the deep release that the partnered variations give the sacrum and lower back. Child's pose can also serve as a solid base for other heart openers such as Camel pose."
Start with regular Child's Pose, then add the couple's elements: For a simple but delightful partners yoga massage, Mahoney suggests beginning with one partner resting in child's pose and then moving into the following sequence:
- The active partner stands between the resting partner's outstretched hands, and the resting partner takes firm hold of the active partner's ankles.
- The active partner leans forward and walks hands down the resting partner's back until you come to an Upward Dog-like position with hands resting on the lower lumbar or sacral area of the back.
- From here, the active partner moves his or her weight forward into the hands to give the resting partner a deep low-back release.
- The active partner shifts weight back into his or her heels, releasing the pressure. Repeat several times.

Skip to comments.Majority of Americans Are Upbeat About the Next Four Years [54% vs 65% after '08 election]
Posted on 11/16/2012 6:52:44 PM PST by SoFloFreeper
A majority of Americans believe the country will be better off four years from now, while 41% say it will be worse. But this level of optimism is down considerably from four years ago, following President Barack Obama's first election victory, when 65% said the country would be better off in four years, and prior to his first inauguration, when 72% said the same.
(Excerpt) Read more at gallup.com ...
Insanity really set in and by the town he seized power 2 months later in January of 2009, 72% of Americans thought that four years of his policies would benefit this nation.
I guess I take some solace in the fact that the number is down 11% from four years ago...and I am BETTING that by January of 2013, Americans will have an even lower view of the future...
Which, while sad, would also be more realistic.
We are experience Jimmy Carter's third term.
gallup BS
Democrats are nearly unanimous in their positive feelings that the next four years will be better for the country, with 94% saying so versus 4% who think things will be worse. Republicans are nearly as united but in the opposite direction, with 11% saying the country will be better off and 86% seeing the country souring. Independents are more upbeat than not about the future, 51% to 40%.
WOW 11% have stopped living under rocks
Roughly the same percentage don't know who the Vice President is.
I think too many people are doing too much "medical" happy smoke in this country. That or meth.
I think I've heard of Gallup. They're the ones who said we would have a president-elect Romney right about now.
My God. How deluded can people believe. The economy is a mess. 23 million unemployed and more losing their jobs every day. It makes no sense. People have really gone mad.
So 54% are too stupid to see a freight train coming straight at them.
54% of the country are absolute MORONS! And 65% were absolute MORONS in 2008!!!!!!
Apparently, as long as the MSM keep telling people everything is swell and Obama is terrific people really do buy it. Apparently staring down the barrel of total economic devistation doesn't phase people as long as they have that warm glowing happy talk on the flat screen.
I can somewhat sympathize with the folks who expected better in 2009, because they were brainwashed about blank slate Baraq by the media. Those who have now experienced four years and still expect better really are morons.
Better off four years from now — because BO will finally be out of the White House (we hope)?
Wishful and hopeful thinking?
Must be disappointing for them to see their dear Leader down some though remaining upbeat that a good number of the Jim Jones followers are still on the Obama bus..
"Despite the smiles and the uplifting rhetoric, Romney's message was essentially one of austerity: we'll have to suck it up and tighten the belt before it gets better. And America did not want to hear that message. It burns."
That 54% is nearly identical to the percentage that still blame Bush for the economy. Figures.
Don't worry..........be happy.
54% are optimistic? Makes sense to me. 51% re-elected the Marxist Despot. There is no statistically significant difference between those two numbers.
In 2008 65% of the people thought things would be better because the Food Stamp President would be leaving office in 4 years. In 2012 54% of the people think things will be better because the Food Stamp President will be leaving office, but he will have screwed up the economy so bad that 11% have given up hope.
Delusional imbeciles is more like it.
A majority of Americans are complete morons, cowards, and lazy scum.
If your tag is the real you, I feel sorry for you and your family....
EXACTLY! I sent an educated (former, now, after this week) 30 year friend an article with a bit of a snide comment on my part....she flipped out..saying that was MY Reality.....and she didn't even vote for the "O"....she just doesn't want to see or even think about what's coming. I'm toxic and a ranter to her, just because I send INFORMATION.
President reagan must be spinning in his grave...Along with the Founding Fathers...
We are officially 10-years into the "thousand years"...
"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Who even dreams up this cr@p?
Spiritual blindness is difficult to fathom when your eyes see, and your ears hear.
We are like crazy men in dressed in skins of wild beasts imploring them to hear the Truth.
It will get worse, I fear. I had hoped for a reprieve.
That only means to me we must redouble our efforts. Win, lose or draw in this world matters not.
They never learn.
LOL !!!!! Morons!!!!
Clueless idiots.
It ain't gonna be long now...
I've been compiling a count of people laid off since the election it just broke 90,000.
That's just the ones broadly announced.
90,000 in 10 days.
Yeah. Things are looking soooooo much better.
There is no shortage of useful idiots!
Isn't EVERYTHING Obama touches "unexpectedly" worse?
Except for people who know what this POS really is.
Then things are "expectedly" worse.
Unless Obama pursues some other course, why WOULD the economy get better? The same failed ideas that got us here will suddenly start working?
People believe the continuing Obama campaign, which has not ceased since 2007.
A reality check will happen soon, and these dreamers will awaken, and be very, very angry, when their fridges are no longer full.
Dope springs eternal.
The poor, dumb, people who think they will be better off are going to be the ones hurt the most. They chose what they wanted to trickle down on them, and it is going to get deep.
Yes. December's job numbers data collection stops on Nov. 13.
By that time I expect my list will clear 100,000, and I'm not even looking at anything between Oct 13 and Nov 6. Nor do I see any of the small company layoffs.
I'd guess that for every WARN act reporting threshold layoff there's another laid off coffee shop waitress, Mom'n'Pop store clerk or small company gofer.
Say 300,000 newly unemployed reported 3 weeks before Christmas?
So 54% are too stupid to see a freight train coming straight at them.
That's one way to thin the herd.... B-P
LOL!! At least they'll have their Obama phone to call 911.
the gates are all down
the signals are flashing
the whistle is screaming in vain
if you sit on the tracks
ignoring the facts
you can't blame the wreck on the train
Hank Rearden: "What are you counting on?!"
An old song from my Sunday school days keeps popping into my mind as an ear worm.
This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through, my treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue;
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door and I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
Oh, Lord you know, I have no friend like you, if heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do. The angels beckon me from heaven's open door and I can't feel at home in the world anymore. (at least not in the US)
It ain't the place I was born.
The Flag is different.
The Pledge is different.
And so much more is alien.
They better hope the cell towers are working. B-)
Gallup? Next!
no shortage of stupid people coming out of government operated schools. just think how the dmv and post offcie operate. that tells you something.
This has not hit home we are still living in the capitalist sytem looking over at the offerings ubango has instore for us but not experiencing it yet, wait............when it comes down and people get a taste they will rise up and he will clamp down.
That was exactly how I took it, too.

Muscovski is the man who works in the laundromat in Broker. At least, that is what he is called by Vlad ("Muscovski jerk"). When Niko went to collect Vlad's money, he ran outside the shop but was followed and pulled over by Niko. He said he would give Vlad his money, but was having trouble getting it together. If he gave the money to Vlad before he was killed or kept his money after he was killed, it is unknown.
It should be noted that like a typical pedestrian in GTA IV, Muscovski's appearance will be different in each of his appearances, not just with his outfit, but also his facial features, lacking or featuring of a mustache, and sporting different eyebrows and hair design. In general, Muscovski can be described as a middle-age man with a plump appearance. His name means "Moscow's" in Russian. So it's look like Vlad called him just "jerk from Moscow".

Food and Nutrition Service Helps Southern States Hit Hard by Disasters
A bout of flooding and tornadoes throughout parts of the Southeast have left thousands of people in need. Several USDA agencies have been working for weeks with state and local officials, as well as individuals, businesses, farmers and ranchers, as they begin the process of helping to get people back on their feet. USDA offers a variety of resources for states and individuals affected by the recent disasters. Just last week, USDA Under Secretary for Rural Development Dallas Tonsager and Acting Under Secretary for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services Michael Scuse toured several states and met hundreds of folks affected by recent disasters.
It makes me glad that our programs are helping storm victims get back on their feet. I accompanied Donald Arnette, USDA's Food and Nutrition Service's (FNS) Southeast Regional Administrator, on a recent tour to assure those in need and eligible that they would receive disaster nutrition assistance at any of the following locations: disaster shelters, feeding sites, Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (DSNAP) sites, and food banks. The FNS disaster nutrition assistance available to eligible individuals include: DSNAP; the Special Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC); and USDA Foods distributed through the Commodity Supplemental Food Programs, which also includes The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP).

Love these!
"These are nice looking sandals with a slight heel that are actually comfortable. I am a teacher and am on my feet most of the day. I can wear these all day with no problem. I love them so much that I just bought another pair in black snakeskin. It's nice to have some sandals that look a little dressier that are still comfortable to wear. You will love them!"

RFID – an e-Business Workshop DebatePosted on July 18th, 2009 by admin in RFID
Many manufacturers, retailers and other services have invested in RFID applications, but the return on those investments is still unclear. The business value of RFID is beginning to surface but it is an emerging story. We need effective measurement so we can better understand the business value of embedded ITs like RFID.
There is a need to assess RFID's impacts and to establish what may prevent companies from achieving acceptable returns on this technology investment.
Observation and data collection of notable RFID leaders in retailing, including Wal-Mart and Metro Group, has revealed some information but nothing conclusive, some pilot tests, few provable operational initiatives, and some interesting differences between European and U.S. companies' efforts.
Many factors may be slowing the pace of the implementation of RFID beyond the pallet level, including privacy concerns, slower-than-expected declines in RFID tag prices, debates on setting standards, and problems in developing enhanced business processes.
There are other issues in establishing the parameters of RFID – is it identifiable as a new technology? Could it also be evaluated as just another B2B technology such as EDI? Must we examine this B2B technology in the context of existing theories? They might include issues as innovation diffusion and knowledge transfer, establishing process-based value, issues around incomplete contracts and joint ventures across firm boundaries, or the ownership of information.
A discussion on existing published RFID studies, as well as some of the trade-press reports to provide a report card on the extent of business value attained from RFID is due. Addressing some of the discussions around this seemingly neutral technology for example, is the e-business value is needed. It is unclear where the value lies – at the pallet level, the box level or the item level.
We want to explore which players are ahead of the pack in the RFID race Where are the geographical leaders – are Europeans, Asians or Americans farther along in their exploration of RFID value? Privacy problems need to be addressed and standards designed.
Governance issues, such as those that are Internet based on data and people gives way to what the United Nations and the International Telecommunications Union have called the 'Internet of Things' is likely to have significant impact on this field.

From time to time I lose water pressure throughout the house. So far this has always happened in
the when showering in the morning. The water runs for a while then loses pressure and stops. (I have a private well with a
precharged storage
tank.) When I check the water pressure gauge (when having problems), it drops but the pump doesn't kick on.
There is no pressure for a while, then after 10 to 15 minutes, the pump kicks on and builds pressure back
up and things work well the rest of the day and is ok for a couple of days. Originally I thought it was a bad
pressure switch so I replaced it. Even though there is a new switch I noticed that the contact points
on the pressure switch are closed at the time when there is no water pressure- but the pump doesn't
kick on(or at least doesn't build pressure). I have also noticed that when the pump is working and achieves the set pressure that
contact points don't open up. I can then "kick" it off manually and the pressure stays/holds until there is water use. We have a
water softner with a chorine injection tank tied in- if thats relevant??
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

The fifth iteration of an Apple smartphone, a glorious gathering of athletes, the passing of a superstar, and a bevy of celebrities—including one duchess—also mesmerized online audiences in 2012.

Let me start by stating that I have had an assortment of different IEM's, both dynamic and balance armatures, in the past and as such I have had the pleasure to deal with many different companies in the past few years. Although I have never had any major issues or problems in my past experiences I can also say that I have never experienced that wow factor as a potential buyer/buyer of a product from a customer service stand point.
Recently I have decided to make the jump from universal IEM's to custom IEM's and of course I have had plenty of questions and concerns for the potential manufacturers. Most of which replied within a couple of days, some within a week and there is still one that I haven't seen a response from. Throughout my constant barrage of questions and concerns there has been one company which not only answered my questions (most of the time within minutes) but has gone above and beyond any service that I have ever received even outside of the IEM marketplace.
As the title suggests this company WAS HA and is a newcomer in the IEM marketplace. Doctor John Moulton a.k.a. the Wizard has not just simply exceeded in providing the best customer service I have ever received, because he has exceeded it exponentially. Ultimately after relentlessly emailing The Wizard I have decided to purchase the 4a in dark blue without any customizations. If the special promotion price wasn't enough The Wizard decided to personally create a custom piece of art for me with a floating logo atop of a new carbon fiber that is not even listed on the HA website yet. Here is the kicker he is creating this masterpiece for me at no additional cost. The Wizard is without a doubt the Pinnacle of customer service, words cannot accurately express my gratitude for Dr. John. If Johns IEM's sound as good as they look, or sound as exceptional as their customer service is then we are all in a for a treat; of which I am certain that we are.

Surf Meets Snow - Low Fare Link With Nation's Capital12/07/2001
Virgin Blue Launches Direct Canberra-Brisbane Flight
Australia's true blue low fare carrier, Virgin Blue, today touched down in Canberra for the first time, offering ACT locals a fresh alternative in air travel.
Virgin Blue's bright red 737 aircraft landed at 11.30am, officially launching the airline's daily direct service between Brisbane and Canberra.
The Brisbane-Canberra route is further evidence of Virgin Blue's growth plans in the Australian market, with today's flight marking the start-up of the airline's eighth route since it took to Australian skies almost 12 months ago.
The new service will provide ACT and regional New South Wales residents with the opportunity to head north for some surf and sunshine, while South East Queenslanders will be able to fly to Canberra to explore the nation's historic capital or hit the popular Snowy Mountain ski slopes.
Virgin Blue has enhanced the quality of air travel on the route by being the first to introduce larger, more comfortable jet aircraft services between these two key capitals.
Spokesperson, Amanda Bolger, said, "Launching the Brisbane-Canberra service is all about providing a low fare option to the people of Canberra and Brisbane and growing the traffic between the two cities. It is also evidence of Virgin Blue's commitment to the Australian market and a vital part of our strategic growth plan."
She continued, "Up until now, those flying in and out of Canberra have been forced to pay through the nose because the routes are heavily dominated by Government traffic and airlines have been able to command high yields. Through no fault of its own, the Government has been forced to pay exorbitant fares and in turn these costs have been the burden of taxpayers. As for leisure travellers, many of them have been locked out of affordable air travel altogether."
It's hoped the low fares will especially appeal to commuters who travel between Canberra and Brisbane for work but are tired of having to book weeks in advance to get a good deal, having to pay extra if they don't want to spend their Saturday night away, or being stuck with a ticket they can't use if their plans change.
Virgin Blue's Brisbane-Canberra one-way fares start from $119, while its one-way walk-up (Y fare) is $249 compared to Qantas's lowest one-way fare of $122 and its one-way walk-up (Y fare) of $397.
"We will initially begin with one return service between Canberra and Brisbane and are committed to offering a long term low fare option to the people of Canberra. We will look at increasing both frequency and destination choices as support and demand grows," finished Amanda Bolger.
Virgin Blue operates the most modern, technologically advanced aircraft in Australia today, with an average age of less than 5 years, compared with Ansett's average fleet age of 11.7 years and Qantas with an average fleet age of 10.8 years. (Salomon Smith Barney 2001 Fleet handbook)

Eliminating Batch Windows Using Real-Time Data Integration
By Irem Radzik-Oracle on Feb 10, 2012
When we invest in technology solutions we expect improvement in productivity, agility, performance and more. We don't want to be limited by the technology we select. While data warehouses are designed to give us the freedom to access complete and reliable information, the underlying data integration architecture and the type of solution used can lead to significant constraints on how we manage our critical production systems.
With data warehousing solutions, one of the most common constraints is the time window available for batch extract processing on the source systems. The resource intensive extract process typically has to be done in off-business hours and restricts access to critical source systems.
A low-impact, real-time data integration solution can liberate your systems from batch windows. When the extract component uses a non-intrusive method, such as reading database transaction logs to capture only the changed data, it does not burden source systems. Hence, data extract can happen at any time of the day, and throughout the day, while all users are online.
SunGard is a great example for achieving a major transformation in data warehousing solutions by using log-based real-time data integration. The company removed batch processing timeline related constraint by using Oracle GoldenGate to capture all of the intraday changes that take place on the selected tables. As a result they reduced the nightly extract process from the Oracle E-Business Suite application by 9 hours. In addition, Oracle GoldenGate enables to feed EBusiness Suite data to the Oracle BI Application for Finance throughout the day. Hence, end users have access to up-to-date information on the Oracle Business Intelligence dashboards as changes occur.
To read more about how real-time data integration can free your critical systems from batch window constraints and how SunGard leveraged Oracle GoldenGate in their data warehousing implementation, I invite you to check out the SunGard case study and the article "Freedom from Batch Windows Using Real-Time Data Integration" we wrote for TDWI's What Works in Emerging Technologies publication. As always, you can find more resources on Oracle GoldenGate on our recently redesigned website.

Skip to comments.US Mag Prints List of 'top 10 German Generals'
Posted on 11/21/2012 3:39:46 PM PST by nickcarraway
A US military history magazine has published a controversial list of the "top ten German generals," including three who fought under Adolf Hitler, causing some consternation in Germany.)
"Only an American could ask a question like this," German newspaper Die Welt wrote on Tuesday, in response to a list published in US magazine The Quarterly Journal of Military History. The list was sparked by a reader's question about the greatest German military minds.
It was answered by historian Robert M. Citino, professor for European history at the University of North Texas, and author of the book The German Way of War. Though the list leaves out major Nazi military figures like Erwin Rommel, it does include Heinz Guderian, who is said to have developed modern German tank strategies during World War II, as well as two other Nazi generals.
Such lists are considered highly suspect in Germany. "The actions of a general in the German-Soviet war is today exclusively judged on how many civilians and prisoners of war were killed or starved to death within his remit," military historian Johannes Hürter said in Die Welt. "Against that, hardly anyone asks about their military performance."
Two of Hitler's generals who made it onto Citino's list - Erich von Lewinski, known as Manstein, and Eberhard von Mackensen - were later convicted of war crimes. Manstein was sentenced to 18 years in prison and Mackensen was sentenced to death, though both were eventually pardoned.
The list largely concentrates on Prussian-German military history, and includes two actual Prussian rulers - Frederick the Great himself and Frederick William I, King of Prussia from 1713 to his death in 1740.
The pre-Nazi-era generals on the list include Count Hellmuth von Moltke, Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, Prinz Friedrich Karl of Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm von Seydlitz, and Georg Freiherr von Derfflinger. Except for Guderian, the entire list is made up of members of aristocratic Prussian families.
But the newspaper could not resist a swipe at the academic value of such exercises. "Such debates are limited to hobby historians in Germany," Die Welt wrote. "If you want to reduce war history to lists, you have to go to America."
A list of generals made by a college professor?
Hang on, I'm working on my list of great fashion designers right now.
(Maybe a list made by Norman Schwarzkoph I might take seriously.)
"were later convicted of war crimes"
Which means nothing in itself, except that they were on the losing side.
My 11th grade social studies teacher was a fan of Erwin Rommell.
Now, now...just because a lot of academia is bent, doesn't mean all profs have been corrupted, and there are a handful that do take their jobs seriously. I would wager that one contributing to a military history magazine at least has a case to make.
Would you discount a list of ancient generals compiled by Victor Davis Hanson just because he's a professor? How about a list of 19th Century American Generals by Dr. Jay Luvaas, or British Generals by John Keegan?
Rommel supposedly took part in the conspiracy to kill Hitler in 1944—and was forced to commit suicide as a result. If so, he deserves to be on the list.
"If you want to reduce war history ti lists, you have to go to America"
Nothing wrong with taking a good swipe at pop-history and top ten lusts in general, but come on. No German publication ever ranks historical figures in like fashion? If that's true I'll eat my hat.
By the way, there's nothing wrong with being deductive persay. A good aphorism like "power corrupts..."can tell us what we need to know better than a full multivolume set. When we call something deductive, of course, we mean falsely reductive, as to "rationalize" means to be irrational. Probably this list and the accompanying story are reductive in a bad way. I'm just saying.

I'm just saying.
deductive equals reductive
This seems like another case of Germany becoming filled with "consternation" when anybody tries to analyze it's military history.
Note to Germany : Discussing the greatest German military minds in history is not an endorsement of whatever ideology they served. It's okay to analyze the military brilliance of the Nazis, despite atrocities that were committed, even during warfare.
We can, and should, discuss these matters in an objective way, and without fear.
I saw a filmed interview of a German general years ago. He was in prison at the time for war crimes.
He was asked who were the best allied generals and he simply said "Patton and Montgomery". He didn't mention Zukov or any other allied generals.
I wasn't surprised at Patton but thought to myself that Montgomery must have been a little better than history portrays him.
Yeah, because we're free thinkers. We don't have to conform to the whims of those in power, don't have to hide from the past. There is nothing wrong with recognizing military brilliance - even in an adversary (past, present, or future). To close your mind based on politics invites military defeat.
Though it is hard to take this seriously. As others say, this is made up by a college professor. History buff? Military buff? I don't know, if he doesn't have Rommel on the list it is hard to take him seriously. I'd like to hear his justification for leaving him off the list.
Relatively speaking, Rommel was mediocre.
The Eastern Front Generals did most of the Reich's heavy lifting and lasted, despite Hitler's interference, for a remarkably long time...
I don't know about being a "fan' of him? It's somewhat unfair to cast him as a Nazi, and he later participated in an assassination attempt against Hitler. That doesn't necessarily absolve him of any responsibility for fighting for them.
Ask Hitler what he thought of his generals.
What he should have done was liquidate all the high ranking officers, as Stalin did!
Yeah, Moltke. Too bad they didn't stick to the plan.
Came to see Guderian on the list. Left satisfied.
Whether or not Romnel deserves to be on the list has nothing to do with the plot to kill Hitler, unless you consider gentlemanly opposition to tyranny one of the chief qualities of great generals, which is a possibility. But then he'd be in line behind several other anti-Hitler generals.
By the way, one reason among many that the Nuremberg trials were such a travesty of justice is that here we are, 70 years later, giving the benefit of the doubt to Nazi generals as monsters unless demonstrated otherwise. I might ask what genocide Rommel committed that he needed to be saved by joining the plot? Or why various Nazis were convicted for the exact same acts for which no one slapped British, American, and especially Russian hands? Or why some went to prison despite being demonstrably more restrained than allied generals?
The guilty until Provence innocent standard might be fun and instructive, if not just. But only if applied equally to Sherman, for instance, as men who happened to be German in 1939.
Only after the war began going badly for Germany. .
Rommel was basically a corps commander.
I didn't see v. Nitwitz or v. Efwitz on the list either.
Rommel was a Nazi...? That is COMPLETELY ridiculous.
He was profoundly apolitical and showed great respect to POW's, etc.
In fact you can argue that he was executed BECAUSE he was not a Nazi.
"The Eastern Front Generals did most of the Reich's heavy lifting"
While true, it doesn't speak against Rommel. He couldn't give the British and Americans more weapons and bodies or make Africa more strategically important by his generalship.
"despite Hitler's interference"
Das Fuhrer's incompetence has been exaggerated, partly by the old favorite ploy of generals blaming civilian leadership. But where Hitler made hus biggest mistakes, Stalingrad for instance, Rommel was affected too. You don't think men and supplies got to Africa by magic. Hitler rightly prioritized the east over Africa, but bungling the east left Afrikacorp high and dry.
"Only after..."
Yeah, but he did lose his life for it. I'd hate to trivialize treason because it "only" was done to save your country from ruin, instead of being against tyranny from the beginning and getting chucked in a camp before all but uniquely prescient people knew the stakes. Von Stauffenberg "only" joined after seeing the horrors of the Eastern Front, by the way, which wasn't Rommel's post.
Napoleon III and Marshall Bazaine sure thought so.
Napoleon III and Marshall Bazaine sure thought so. Add Franz Joseph and General Benedek to that list, they found out four years earlier.
Gamal Abdul Nasser found out the hard way about the objective analysis of military history. Not once, but twice the principles of Heinz Guderian was unleashed on him to destroy his army. The opponent who studied the armoured blitzkrieg, the IDF.
A couple years from now, the German magazine will probably publish a list of "Top 10 Gay-American Generals" and be proud of their article.
There is probably not much new in military strategy.
I always felt that Patton learned much from Confederate Guerrilla leader John Mosby who was often a house guest of the Pattons. Patton would ride with Mosby around their ranch and learn lessons of war. George JR. was only a boy at the time but already determined to be a general.
One of Patton's Grandfathers was a Confederate General and the other a Confederate Colonel.
I agree that the High Command liked to blame stuff on Hitler to cover their own mistakes (after all everybody hated him AND he was conveniently dead), but there was still a awful lot of legitimate blame for him.
Hitler might have won in the East if threw the Italians in Greece and Balkans to the wolves and went straight in; he might have STILL pulled it out if he had condemned the attack by the Japanese upon the American Fleet in Pearl Harbor instead of declaring war in support of the Japs.
And there is no telling how much damage Hitler did mucking around in war production (imagine the Germans fielding a T-34 clone instead of the overly-complicated Panther or ME-262s fighters deployed in 1943...). His like of giant weapons wasted a lot of material.
There were better Field Marshals, Manstein comes to mind, on the Eastern Front. Rommel just got good press in the West because we were fighting him!
Listing of military generals should be solely based on their abilities as force multipliers, not whether they fought on good or evil. Every General fights to further his Nations cause. Who was that German who led the Romans into an ambush that wiped out an entire legion?
Soon the only commanders Germans can praise will be the likes of Mohammed, Suleman, Mehmet, etc.
The Germans used to be so army-centric that they named all their naval battlecruisers after Prussian generals, many on this list.
Seems that PC has killed that strain in the current Germany. Good thing we aren't staring at a horde across the Fulda Gap anymore.
Well, the issue of oil dwarfs all else. Without that, the best generals in the world didn't have a chance.
War crimes trials are mostly political rather than just.
I remember that Japanese General Tomoyuki Yamashita was ordered executed despite the fact that he had ordered his troops to not commit the acts of brutality which they did.
I think McArthur said his crime was not keeping control of his men. The odd thing about Japanese soldiers and officers is they often disobeyed their commanders orders, doing things which would never have been allowed in American or German armies.
I have read that they would often choose to commit suicide rather than retreat when ordered to do so.
Rommel commanded Hitler's military bodyguard during the occupations of Austria, the Sudetenland and the balance of Czechoslovakia, and during the Polish Campaign, as well as serving as the Army liaison officer with the Hitler Youth. You didn't get put in charge of keeping Shicklegruber alive if they had any doubt about you loyalty to National Socialism. That was one reason Rommel joining the conspiracy was such a shock -- he had been the guy in charge Hitler's Army Bodyguard. It is also probably a big reason he was allowed to commit suicide. Goebbels had built him up as a National Socialist General, and Rommel turning on Hitler could not be dismissed as the action of some reactionary monarchist, as Goebbels tried to do with the guys with "von" in front of their names.
Georg Freiherr von Derfflinger was an Austrian Protestant who made a naem for himself fighting for Saxony, Sweden and fianlly Brandenberg Thirty Years War. He was not Prussian.
I forgot, Graf von Moltke the elder, was Danish. He served Prussia but was not Prussian. His nephew of the same name was Prussian, but no one would put him on a top 10 list.
You forget, there were some people whose lack of fidelity to Nacism were overlooked by Hitler because of his respect for their abilities. Take Ernst Junger for example. And how do you explain Canaris lasting as long as he did?
Ever heard of Victor Davis Hanson? The childish comments of the German journo are laughable-and typical of someone who thinks war is an unenlightened thing of the past.
What does any of that have to do with his military acumen?
That was Hermann, whom the Romans called Arminius. His victory over the Romans at the Teutoburg Forest in AD 9 convinced them not to push the northern boundary of their empire beyond the Rhine.
Rommel wasn't sullied by service in the East, as well.
I don't forget that all. My point is that Rommel wasn't one of those guys. He was a fan of National Socialism for years, and popular with the Nazis. Geobbels made a propagand movie about his campaign in France.
Rommel, like most military men, liked Hitler, feeling that AH would do very well by the Army and understood their needs. This, however, does not make one a Nazi.

Scarlets won for the first time in eight visits to Musgrave Park as they outmuscled Munster 13-6 in horrendous playing conditions.
Scarlets won for the first time in eight visits to Musgrave Park as they outmuscled Munster 13-6 in horrendous playing conditions.
The visitors earned themselves a first ever win at the ground, and at the same time, ended Munster's proud unbeaten record there since May 2008.
The home side saw six changes to the side which had last played, while Scarlets also made some changes from their win at Edinburgh two weeks ago.
Munster had all of the early pressure, with Scarlets camped in their own 22 for the majority of the opening period of the game.
Scarlets had the first chance to open the scoring though, with Aled Thomas missing his penalty kick on 18 minutes, as the ball was spooned wide, the wind playing its part in keeping the game scoreless.
Ian Keatley opened the scoring for Munster on 23 minutes, kicking from the 22 line, to give the home side something for all of their early pressure. Thomas then made up for his earlier miss on 29 minutes, with an easier kick at goal, bringing the visitors level.
Play was held up for some time with just five minutes of the first half to play, as Munster's Niall Ronan received attention on the pitch before being stretchered off the field. The flanker had been cleared out of a ruck pretty convincingly by Jake Ball.
Munster spent the final two minutes of the half working the ball through several phases close to the Scarlets line, and with one final push, were unable to convince the TMO that they had taken the ball over the whitewash.
A 3-3 half-time scoreline was scant reward for Munster's early pressure, but was well earned by Scarlets' robust defence.
Despite kicking with the wind, Thomas missed a penalty goal attempt just three minutes in to the second half, after Munster had collapsed a scrum on their 22 metre line.
Scoring opportunities were few and far between, and Thomas tried using the wind to drop kick on 55 minutes, but that attempt was also wide of the mark.
Munster lit up the game on the hour, as Felix Jones charged forward, offloading to Keatley, who chose to chip and chase, leading to a scramble for the ball, but the home side couldn't make anything of the resultant penalty scrum.
Thomas kicked Scarlets into the lead on 68 minutes, with a kind bounce off the post helping the ball over the line. With ten minutes left to play, Andy Fenby chased down a long kick, and as fullback Jones fumbled the ball, it was the Scarlets winger who took advantage of the wet conditions, to take the game out of Munster's reach.
Thomas converted to give his side a ten point lead.
Thomas missed two more penalty attempts, hitting the post on both occasions, while JJ Hanrahan closed the scoring with a last minute consolation penalty for Munster.
The scorers:
For Munster:
Pens: Keatley, Hanrahan
For Scarlets:
Try: Fenby
Con: Thomas
Pens: Thomas 2
Munster: 15 Felix Jones, 14 Doug Howlett (c), 13 Casey Laulala, 12 James Downey, 11 Luke O'Dea, 10 Ian Keatley, 9 Duncan Williams, 8 Paddy Butler, 7 Niall Ronan, 6 Dave O'Callaghan, 5 Billy Holland, 4 Ian Nagle, 3 Stephen Archer, 2 Mike Sherry, 1 Wian Du Preez.

A Survivor of the Vilna Ghetto and perhaps the best-known Holocaust survivor painter. Bak paints in the tradition of the great masters and has occasionally had his works described as possessing a "Rene Magritte-like surrealism," although he prefers not to use the surrealist description for what and how he paints. Bak has been recognized internationally. Bak has lived in Israel, Switzerland and now resides in the Boston area. His work has been displayed at major museums and galleries in the United States, Europe, and South America. Many examples of his paintings may be seen at Pucker Gallery, Boston, MA.
Born in Lithuania and a survivor of the Vilna Ghetto, Goldstein lives in New Rochelle, New York and constructs collages and watercolors that attempt to work through some of the pain and trauma of her experience in the Ghetto and Stutthof Concentration Camp. She describes her work as seeing the world as when she was a child, with frightful images around her. Goldstein has taped her experiences for the Spielberg project as well as the Fortunoff Archive at Yale University. She is a member of the Marmaronek Artist Guild and has exhibited at many galleries in the United States.
Born in Sastin, Czechoslovakia and survived the Holocaust hidden by a Christian family. Educated at the City University of New York, her work since the early 1990s has focused more on the memories of her Holocaust experiences, stemming from a visit back to Sastin to meet the with family that helped rescue her own. She has exhibited extensively in the United States, England, Germany, Spain and France.
Born in Amsterdam and deported to Terezin, Vanderpol was a classmate of Anne Frank in 1940. She was a member of a deportation from Terezin exchanged for German prisoners of war in early, 1945, the only such exchange of the war. Her medium is needlepoint and her collected work is entitled "Every Stich a Memory," dedicated to her experiences and memories of the Holocaust. She had a major retrospective at the Institute for Contemporary Art in Boston, 1993.
Rossmer came as a child to the United States from Bamberg, Germany. Educated at the Massachusetts College of Art and known as a sculptor, Rossmer began to become more involved with conceptual spaces in the late 1980s. Her works have been shown in many American museums, through the Goethe Institute in Germany, and in her native city of Bamberg, Germany.
A Chicago-based installation artist whose family escaped from Germany during the late 1930s and settled in Chicago. Altman is known for her complex installation works which are based on the Kabbala, the works of Jewish mysticism. She is interested in the process of healing the world after the Nazi era and has exhibited extensively, including in Germany.
Born in northern Germany and rescued through the Kindertransport to England in 1939. She now lives and works in Chicago. Gerda Meyer Bernstein's powerful installations evoke strong emotions of the political issues in which she in engaged. For her, the Holocaust is the springboard for understanding other forms of oppression. Represented by the Fassbender Gallery in Chicago, she has exhibited extensively across the United States and in her native Germany.
A Holocaust survivor born in Budapest, Hungary who was an inmate in Auschwitz-Birkenau, Guben and Bergen-Belsen camps. She studied in Israel, Sweden, and later at universities in Texas, where she now lives. Known for her abstract works which have in recent years reflected more and more on her experiences in the Holocaust, Cahana has been exhibited extensively in the United States and Israel. She is the subject of a 1995 PBS Baltimore video, "Triumph of the Spirit," and was recognized by President Clinton at the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors in 1995. Her story has also been portrayed in the Steven Spielberg Film, "The Last Days," about the fate of the Jews of Hungary in 1944.

The 1888 Melbourne Cup
1888 was the one hundredth anniversary of British settlement in Australia and, although the various colonies were not yet welded into one federated nation, all the colonies joined in a year of celebrations to mark the first century of the new land.
In Melbourne the climax of the celebrations was the Centennial Fair, held in the Exhibition Building in the spring of 1888. The exhibition was a great success and attracted visitors from all over the world. It was still in progress during Melbourne Cup week and accommodation was so taxed that intercolonial steamers lying in port were converted into temporary hotels.
The Melbourne Cup trophy of that year was known as the Centennial Cup and had been commissioned from England (Elkington & Co. Birmingham). The Centennial Cup features three magnificent horses cast in silver weighing 800 grams surmounted on a large silver plated base. The trophy was particularly large due to the importance of the centenary. The Victoria Racing Club also upped the prize-money by 3,000 gold sovereigns (sovereign = £1), making it the most valuable handicap in the world.
There were 28 runners in the 1888 Cup, however, based on past performances, a number of them should not have been in the race. They were eager to win part of the new £50,000 sweep run by Mr George Adams (the owner of the company that began Tattslotto). As the race was run, jockey Mick O'Brien (wearing the racing colours of black with white sleeves and scarlet cap) always had Mentor in a winning position. With plenty in hand, Mentor ran home a comfortable winner in 3 minutes 30 3/4 seconds from Tradition second and The Yeoman third.
Mentor had been bred at Mr Donald S Wallace's stud 'Ballark' between Ballarat and Geelong. Until 1888 Wallace's most important success had been winning the 1883 Caulfield Cup, and he was quite staggered when his trainer Walter Higginbotham suggested it might be worth the owner's while to have a good bet on Mentor to win the Melbourne Cup. Wallace, a shrewd operator, enlisted the aid of a bookmaker to place £1,000 on Mentor at long odds in case the odds shortened by Cup day — Wallace collected £20,000.
Elkington & Co. The 1888 Melbourne Cup 1887 maker's mark of Frederick Elkington silver, electroplated metal engraved: 'Won by DS Wallace's BC Mentor, ridden by Michael O'Brien, trained by WS Hickenbotham' National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.
O'Brien was very popular with the average racegoer and he and his mount received a fine reception on their way back to the scale. Cheering broke out again as Wallace received the Cup and that evening O'Brien received a gold mounted whip, a tradition that continues for the winning jockey.

Denise Biellman
Who do you consider the best women jumper of all time?
Kristi Yamaguchi... I don't cringe when she goes into a jump, I know she'll land it... they may not be as huge as some of the others, but they're beautiful none the less
She was also very consistent landing a triple lutz-triple toe and two triple lutzes.Originally Posted by Tonichelle
Very few of the contenders today do a triple-triple that difficult as consistently as she did, and some dont even do two triple lutzes. She also did her second one at around the 3:30 mark I believe.
I voted for Midori, who BTW is I believe the only skater to be named after an alcoholic beverage.
This is a GREAT poll Slutefan!
Thank you.Originally Posted by Piel
Well, I put down Midori too. She has ASTRONOMICAL jumps!!!
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do this, but here's a link that shows her GREAT triple axel!
Had to go with Midori Ito, first woman to land the triple axel and the triple triple combination in competition. And the height of her jumps are incredible.
I voted for Midori Ito, but also Tonya Harding was a very good jumper. These two were good at all six triple jumps. Certainly not Tara Lipinski (look at the flutz and her small jumps). In her time Denise Biellmann was ahead of the other skaters in terms of jumps and spins. She did the first triple lutz (with a good outside edge). Irina Slutskaya is also a good jumper, but she hasn't flow at the end of her jumps. Irina was also the first woman to do a triple lutz-triple loop combo. Surya Bonaly has a good triple salchow, she also did one after a backflip.
I would like to remember also Elaine Zayak and Debi Thomas for their triple toes, Manley, Sebestyen, Volchova for the triple lutz, Butyrskaya for the triple loop, Kostner for the triple flip.

It's hard to compare skaters of different generations. I think some consideration has to go to Carol Heiss, the first lady to land a double Axel.
(Trivia question: Which two skaters won both U.S. novice and U.S. junior titles before winning their first world championship at age 16?)
Kimmie Meissner and Michelle Kwan?Originally Posted by Mathman
Kimmie is right, but Michelle isn't. I can't think of who it might be...
Hang on! It's Carol Heiss!
Actually maybe I should have included Heiss, Fratianne, or Zayak for how strong of jumpers they were in their own times. However I feel iffy on Zayak since her great jump difficulty is only based on doing a bunch of triple toes more times than her competition. Once that rule was out so was her jump advantage, and so was she as a major threat to win big titles.
I of course included Biellman and Burka based on how great of jumpers they were for their own times.
Don't forget Sonja Henie, lol! She was the first to land an axel! (not by today's standards, though. Her "axel" looked like a sloppy waltz jump, to me anyway.)
I would also add Tina Noyes to your list, as well as Yoshie Onda.
Yoshie Onda is a great jumper but I dont see anything she has done to make a "best ever" jumper list personaly. She was not the first woman to land any jump, she tried to become the 3rd, later the 5th women to land a triple axel and never managed to do that.Originally Posted by evenstar
I know Tina Noyes was a great jumper in her time but she did not do any jump for the first time either did she? I know she tried triple toes but missed them each time she tried in competition.
You are probably right on Henie, and she was revolutionary in alot of ways.

Professor of Radiation Oncology (Radiation Biology) and of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Our research is aimed at defining the pathways of p53-mediated apoptosis and tumor suppression, using a combination of biochemical, cell biological, and mouse genetic approaches. Our strategy is to start by generating hypotheses about p53 mechanisms of action using primary mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs), and then to test them using gene targeting technology in the mouse.

A late drop-goal from Nick Evans proved to be the difference as Harlequins secured a narrow 22-19 Aviva Premiership win over Worcester.
A late drop-goal from Nick Evans proved to be the difference as Harlequins secured a narrow 22-19 victory over Worcester.
Harlequins were looking to bounce back from a narrow defeat to Bath a week earlier, while Worcester were out to secure consecutive wins following victory over Saracens.
And it was the visitors who made the stronger start to the game, setting up an eight-point lead courtesy of an early unconverted try from David Lemi, created by Chris Pennell's superb offload, and a penalty goal from Alex Goode, whose earlier conversion attempt had hit the post.
Nick Evans' penalty on 19 minutes got Quins off the mark but Goode's instant booted response restored the eight-point barrier.
Then, after Lemi was dispatched to the sin-bin for a breach at the breakdown, the two teams traded further penalties, before the hosts turned the contest on its head.
Matt Hopper steamed over four minutes before the break for Quins' first try, which Evans converted, before he knocked over a third penalty on the stroke of half-time to make it 16-14.
Meanwhile, Worcester's Semisi Taulava became the second player to be sent to the sin-bin after being pinged for collapsing the maul.
Opportunities were few and far between during the opening stages of the second half and it wasn't until the 58th minute that the deadlock was broken by an Evans penalty.
Errie Claassens' try less than ten minutes later brought Worcester level, although crucially the conversion was missed.
The scores remained deadlocked until the 74th minute, when Evans stepped up to hit over a handsome drop goal, and this time there was no way back for Worcester.
The scorers:
For Harlequins:
Try: Hopper
Con: Evans
Pens: Evans 4
Drop: Evans
For Worcester:
Tries: Lemi, Claassens
Pens: Goode 3

Woodland Park High School students have been learning their subjects and earning academic credits in 90-minute blocks since the mid-1990s. Starting next fall, they will be using a system that most of their parents will find familiar, the seven-period day.
WPHS Principal Del Garrick explained the alternating block system having eight 90-minute teaching blocks that alternate, four blocks a day. All eight classes meet on Mondays.
"We're not the only school districts making the switch," he said. "Some schools are still using the alternating block system but a lot of them are returning to 45-minute periods. Cheyenne Mountain and Coronado are seven-period schools."
Garrick pointed out that scientific studies have shown no academic difference between the two systems. The change is being made for purely financial reasons.
"A block system costs more to run," he said. "Before making the switch we looked at its efficiency in a financial sense. We'll be able to staff for seven sections instead of eight, teachers will have 45-minute instead of 90-minute planning periods and students will get about 30 more minutes of instruction time each week."
The change is being called a "transition" but the word doesn't apply to the switch from blocks to periods. That change will start the first day of school next fall. Transition refers to the way students earn credits for graduation. This year's seniors had the opportunity to earn 32 credits and need 28 to graduate. This year's juniors could have already earned 24 credits but will only be able to earn seven more credits next year; they will need 27 credits to graduate. Today's sophomores will need 26 credits and this year's freshmen will need 25.
"Twenty-five credits to graduate puts us right in line with other area high schools, including Academy 20 and Lewis-Palmer D-38," Garrick said. "Manitou Springs students still need 27 credits but Coronado kids only needs 23."
Another form of transition is for teachers who, having spent decades working in 90-minute blocks, now have to learn to plan 45-minute classes.
Letters about the switch have already gone out to parents, Garrick said.

Halloween is coming upon us, so don't be surprised when I upload some holiday related stuff for everyone to enjoy. Up next, I wanted to also give my little sister a lesson that can keep her busy for hours. She really likes decorating the walls, fridge, and windows with her drawings whenever a new holiday arises. She is already starting with the Halloween stuff, and so far she has drawn some pumpkins, a witch, and even her version of a zombie. Today, I'm going to go all out and teach you guys an easy way to "draw Frankenstein for kids", step by step. Frankenstein has always been one of my favorite monsters around Halloween because even though he is a scary or creepy looking figure, you always know that deep down there is a being that just wants to be happy and enjoy the beauty of what the world has to offer. Frankenstein is also a character that many kids and adults dress up as, and walk the streets asking strangers for candy. Isn't it funny, we were taught as children to never accept candy from strangers, but one day out of the whole year we are allowed to knock on strangers doors and ask for candy ourselves with our parents' permission. Anyway, have fun teaching yourself "how to draw Frankenstein for kids", and I will return with some more fun stuff for you guys to do. Peace people and enjoy!

Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
interesting chapter
franky might have to fight buffalo or and baby5. Also the underground seeing the downfall of caesar might earn luffy more of a reputation
Got to love baby 5's character xD
And luffy not caring about capturing ceasar anymore was just so typical xD
Really curious weather monet and vergo survive this, plus it's pretty much a given that the petrified peeps will get cured, seeing how kinemon got screwed over... unless he somehow protected himself with his abbilities (like covering himself with clothing idk.
Franky finally back, deserves some action untill law arrives.
Yes! Franky!
I hope they foil Flamingo's plans!
Wind against Wind, Weapons against Weapons.
It's time for Franky to earn his keep for this arc, too!
Proud (and confused) subscriber of Shonen Jump Alpha.
Like I predicted, the arrival of Baby 5 and Buffalo (though not who I expected...) would coincide with the reappearance of Franky. Add in the whole battle over Caesar deal and we once again have another huge plot point. Hopefully Franky doesn't get his ass beat....nor Caesar recaptured by Doflamingo....or Monet die....
Glad we were shown the underworld brokers reacting to Caesar's defeat. Honestly, between each of their reactions and references to tell higher ups and what not, the hornet's nest Law and Luffy just busted open truly looks to spark chaos for them. Brilliant.
Grizzly Magnum is sick, Usopp debuts another, larger, living slingshot, and Kinemon is petrified, Killer could be wondering about the alliance(s). Nothing to complain about except that next week will probably be the last chapter before the holidays......
*Also, note the Next Crewmember thread for a resurgence in Baby 5 supporters.

This "league" intrigues me. It isn't an underworld faction, but the question remains if it is a World Government/Marines faction, just associated with them or is it independent? But they somehow have the ability to "inform the whole world" about this event. Hmmmm.
You know what's weird? Even though it not the same type of power, Baby 5's power (and choice of weapons) reminds me of Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist.
Also, what is Buffalo hiding under his coat? I wouldn't be surprised if he took it off and he looked like some sort of segmented puppet, except made of wind turbines.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
let the baby 5 for NN begin ^^
though i have to agree, she does have a great character XD
nice grizzly magnum btw

VeganMoFo - Halloweegan Witches' Hats
The dinner ghosts I had intended to make had to wait until next week because we were out of potatoes, so instead I made some little Witches' Hats. The idea came from the Betty Crocker website.
Here's how it all went down. I made my chocolate shortbread cookies as the base for the hats. While they were baking I prepared the pointy tops. Sorry, I'm sure hat parts have fancy names that fancy hat people know, I'm not a fancy hat person so I will be calling them pointy tops.
The pointy tops... or cones! How about cones? Anyway, the pointy cone tops, are basically peanut butter cups sweetened with maple syrup. Recipe:
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
2 tbsp to 1/4 cup maple syrup (depends on your sweet tooth)
2 tbsp soy milk or other non-dairy milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Use an electric mixer on high to mix everything together. Mix for about a minute or until the peanut butter starts to look a little dry and not as creamy.
To make the cones, either use a pastry bag to squeeze them out onto a plate, or shape them into cones with your hands. Dip the cones into some melted chocolate chips (about 1/2 cup) and chill until the chocolate hardens. I decided to spread some melted chocolate on top of each cookie too, which helped keep the cones in place when I placed them on the cookies. The buttons and rim are a simple confectioners sugar icing.
Of course you could take the easy way out and add some cocoa powder to the peanut butter mixture to make it dark, then you wouldn't have to dip the pointy tops in melted chocolate. But then again, where's the fun in that?
