Sometimes we find things on the web that just make us smile and shake our heads. That would include this gem sent to us by a SoulTracker: It's an old Wendy's employee training video that tells us waaaaay more than we'd ever want to know about how to prepare and serve hot drinks. But they do it with an 80s R&B funk beat and instrumentation that makes it all worthwhile. We're laughing just writing this.
Ordering a hot chocolate has never been this fun for us. And it sure beats Mary J. Blige singing about chicken wraps. Check it out below...
PS - We like this much, much more than their accompanying video on cold drinks.

Anyone ever have problems with Puppy eye drainage?
Hey guys, have you ever had a GSD pup that had some eye drainage? My male GSD is 13 weeks old and currently on Blue brand Adult Chix and rice. The treats I use in training is Blue brand treats....Both the kibble and treats are chicken based. The drainage is clear in color. Both his eyes look good. No redness and look normal. I'm guessing it's probably a food allergy....I hope. Seems like it started when I started going heavy on the treats with marker training. He has snuck a couple of those small chew sticks with a center filling in them...We give them to our Shih Tzu at times.,...Not for sure if these are rawhide based or not....Don't have the package anymore...The occasional graham cracker he vacuums up after the our 1.5 year old son drops it....
I'm going to cut everything out, minus the kibble for a few days. Or will I need to do this for a longer period of time to see any results? His eye drainage is accompanied with scratching. I took him to the breeders kennel 2 days ago to get his tattoo and another vaccination....Let him be around the big dogs...He was a little hesitant at first, but he kept pushing forward and ended up doing great. He got to mingle with one of the older GSD mommies (one of the breeders personal protection dogs) ...It was a good experience for him,,,Minus the tattoo... That part was horrible...But he did awesome ...Sorry, I got off track......
She looked over his eyes, cleaned his ears and showed me how she cleans them....She wasn't too concerned with the eye drainage. I'm not either, but I'm determined to find the cause.
How long does it take to see results after cutting the possibilities out? Instant, 2-3 days or weeks? (if one of them happens to be the cause).

I'm not sure in your case. My pup had a nasolacriminal occlusion. Basically, the tear ducts were blocked in both eyes. Your vet can do a dye test (dye is put in eyes and should then show up in the nasal passages. Mine did not). He gave him on antibiotic ointment for his eyes but told me that realistically, that although that is the first treatment normally tried, it doesn't usually work and the dogs always have the issue.
Fortunately for me, it actually DID clear mine up and he's had no more than the normal occasional eye matter since. Before the treatment, I had to constantly wipe his eyes. It didn't bother him, but drove me crazy!

Onyx was a puppy during the frigid cold months...and she had weepy eyes. I thought it was from the cold, but after taking her to the vet(vet suggested giving clear eye's drops) I blamed the issue on her teething. She was about the same age as your puppy when it started, and lasted about a month during the heavy teething stage.
As it was a clear discharge, we knew there was no infection~ conjuctivitis has the goopy consistency and it wasn't conjuctivitis.

What Neko and Blanketback said. I didn't realize it wasn't normal until we put Revy on a novel/limited ingredient food and took away all treats to deal with diarrhoea and skin issues. Suddenly her eye gook went away too. Turned out to be the rawhides and treats we were giving her.

We have been buying Blue brand Chix treats....A few days ago I bought Nukes (sp?) chix....That's all they had at the time,,,,Lastnight I boiled a roast and chopped it into pieces to use for treats.....
I've read numerous conflicts that people have had with Chicken....If it doesn't clear up, I will switch to a new meat source for his kibble. I think Blue makes a salmon based on,,..
The only place to buy quality kibble in my city is from Tractor Supply or Pet Sense...The Zukes treats were pricy....I thi they were $8.99.... Maybe it was $11.99..... Blue brand treats are $4-$6.... Depending on which one.....The cost doesn't bother me much, I want to feed him the best possible diet...Hopefully after he gets older, I can try the raw diet again,,,,I tired for about a week, but I was scared to death that I wasn't giving him the proper nutrients....I honestly believe it's the best choice....I will give it another shot down the road.

To the Editor:
To make the case that Patrick J. Buchanan is anti-Semitic, it is necessary for Joshua Muravchik ["Patrick J. Buchanan and the Jews," January] to clear away the inconvenient underbrush of Buchanan's support for Israel during the 70's and early 80's. He attempts this by exploring Buchanan's columns of that period and extracting fragments critical of Israel.
Mr. Muravchik himself concedes "that in earlier years Buchanan had produced columns friendly to Israel. . . ." That he does not attempt a qualitative and quantitative analysis of pro and con in Buchanan's written work during that period is not worthy of Mr. Muravchik's usual careful journalism.
In fact, Buchanan's overall thrust then was heavily in favor of Israel. Before entering the White House in 1985, his orientation was strongly pro-Zionist both in disputing me on The McLaughlin Group and debating Tom Braden on Crossfire.
By definition, no sympathizer with the Zionist cause can be an anti-Semite. It is ludicrous to state that Buchanan suddenly started hating Jews because he changed his mind on Israeli policy. That fatally undermines the rest of Mr. Muravchik's case.

To the Editor:
. . . It was incredibly tiresome to read Joshua Muravchik's article—an assembly of circumstantial tidbits, patched together with 20-20 hindsight, and meant to show that Patrick J. Buchanan is anti-Semitic in his heart of hearts.
Simply pointing out that a man in the course of two decades is often inconsistent in his opinions, that he changes his mind and his rhetoric, that he has a pugnacious style, only proves that he is like the rest of us who drift and dodge and dance, but also think and feel from the heart as best we can over the years. Buchanan, however, has a cultivated gift of rhetoric and a love for the well-turned phrase. The plain fact is that Buchanan, like most good columnists and speechwriters, has so many words on record that anyone with a little skill and time can selectively extract enough "evidence" to prove consistency or inconsistency on selective issues. . . .
Mr. Muravchik . . . even goes so far as to question Buchanan's motives based on the riveting discovery that Buchanan's mother was German, which is supposed to explain some of the most egregious aspects of his politically incorrect opinions. . . .
I do not believe for a moment that Buchanan is anti-Semitic, and nothing in the article convinced me. To the contrary, Buchanan is a rare personality among the journalistic stuffed shirts in Washington who take themselves so seriously. . . .

To the Editor:
I do not agree with all of the opinions of Patrick J. Buchanan that Joshua Muravchik describes. However, I regard them all as within the domain of reasonable debate. I was therefore quite startled by Mr. Muravchik's last paragraph, wherein he concludes that those opinions are sufficient to establish Buchanan as an anti-Semite, specifically with "an embedded hatred of Jewish people. . . ." It seems to me that this stretches the meaning of "anti-Semite" in much the same way that "racist" and "sexist" have been expanded to apply to anyone opposed to affirmative-action quotas. Such expanded usage dilutes the meaning of the words to the extent that calling someone a "racist," "sexist," or "anti-Semite" has no more meaning than just calling him "nasty." Such heavy-handed polemics should be left to other magazines. The nasty ones.

Who said this?
The daring Israeli raid upon Entebbe airfield in Uganda calls to mind the audacity of Otto Skorzeny's wartime rescue of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, and the United States helicopter raid on the Son Tay prisoner-of-war camp outside Hanoi.
Unlike the latter, however, the Israeli raid was a brilliant success. Unlike the former, it was done in the noblest of causes—the rescue of unarmed civilians from cutthroats and thugs.
And who said this?
At the UN, the British and the French are supporting a resolution to have Israel pay reparations to Iraq for the June 7 [1981] strike on the Osirak reactor by Menachem Begin's Flying Circus of F-15s and F-16s in that all-American air show over Baghdad. . . .
To accept Saddam Hussein of Iraq as an injured party, however, requires some suspension of disbelief. After all, not for nothing has Iraq been called the "North Korea of the Middle East." Not only did that regime fall upon Iran, in violation of its treaty, but its leaders boast of being in a state of war with Israel, the final solution to which is to be liquidation of the "racist Zionist entity." Presumably, people who declare wars against their neighbors should expect the consequences as well as the applause.
And this?
Israel remains a tough, resourceful, energetic nation, an offspring of the West . . . whose current struggle merits sympathy and support. . . .
You would never have guessed from Joshua Muravchik's article that Patrick J. Buchanan had ever uttered such sympathetic statements about Israel. Nor would you have known that even the Anti-Defamation League in its now-famous September 1990 memo on Buchanan did not say he was anti-Israel, only that his "position on Israel has been inconsistent." Is inconsistency now considered "anti-Semitism"? Is Buchanan to be labeled "anti-Semitic" because he now believes peace in the Middle East will not come until the Palestinian problem is resolved and that Israel must do more to resolve it?
"Should American Nazis," Buchanan has written,
be permitted to parade, swastikas flying, through the Chicago suburb of Skokie, home of thousands of Jews and former inmates of Hitler's death camps? The absolutist wing of the American Civil Liberties Union has answered that question in the affirmative. . . . Because it has, membership is declining and financial support is drying up. As it should.
Just two years ago, Buchanan was harshly condemning the atheist Friedrich Nietzsche for being "anti-Semitic" and one of several "beacons to Hitler." Another atheist, Karl Marx, he noted in the same column, "was a vicious anti-Semite" who midwifed Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin.
How do such remarks fit in with Mr. Muravchik's astonishing theory that Buchanan is guilty of his own definition of anti-Semitism, "an embedded hatred of Jewish people, manifest in writing and conduct, . . . a grave sin"?
Surely, if someone were so hostile to Jews, Mr. Muravchik could have dug up somebody to say that Buchanan is a smoldering Jew-hater, a man who reveals intense hostility to someone because he is Jewish. Yet Mr. Muravchik comes up empty-handed. And, of course, there are numerous Jewish friends of Buchanan's—including this one—who vigorously deny the anti-Semitic charge.
Mr. Muravchik's charges just don't stand up. Did Buchanan shift to a dovish stance during the Iraqi invasion because he is anti-Israel? How, then, explain Buchanan's thesis, spelled out in countless articles and publications prior to Saddam Hussein's brutal conquest, that, if the cold war is over, we should begin disentangling ourselves from obligations around the world? . . .
If he is so "pro-German," why has he consistently bashed the Germans for not doing more during the Persian Gulf crisis? If his defense of Karl Linnas and John Demjanjuk is somehow anti-Semitic, tell me, please, why the Washington Post—not precisely the voice of Adolf Hitler—editorially opposed Linnas's deportation and ran Buchanan's defense of Demjanjuk?
I am normally a fan of both Norman Podhoretz and Joshua Muravchik, but, in this case, I believe, they have made a grave error in judgment. Just as Buchanan is quick to assail anyone who challenges the Pope or the Catholic Church—too quick to my mind—so Messrs. Podhoretz and Muravchik are too ready to detect "anti-Semitism" in people because they have an honest quarrel with Israel and/or the Jewish community on substantive issues.
Unfortunately, I don't think such articles lessen anti-Semitism, they promote it.

To the Editor:
Joshua Muravchik's article was interesting and well-researched, but I believe Patrick J. Buchanan's positions would need further scrutiny to justify some of the accusations that have been made.
To begin with, Mr. Muravchik proclaims that Buchanan is inconsistent because he is a dove with respect to the situation in the Persian Gulf but would be the first to beat the drums of war if a Communist dictator were involved. But Buchanan is not being inconsistent here. He believes the cold war was the only justification for U.S. interventionism and with that all but behind us, it is time for "America First" neo-isolationism. . . .
As far as Israel is concerned, Buchanan still favors military aid, and maintains Israel's right to exist. . . . And he has condemned the double standard at the UN which overlooks Marxist and Arab atrocities yet condemns Israel for far less serious infractions of human rights and international law. . . .
With respect to the Demjanjuk case, Buchanan is not defending Nazism but simply questioning some of the motives and grounds that have been used to identify Nazis. Mr. Muravchik implies that Buchanan was the only one writing that Karl Linnas should not be deported, but William F. Buckley, Jr. was also against Linnas's deportation. . . . And Buchanan's courage in this matter has paid off. Many now question the judgment that Demjanjuk was the infamous Ivan the Terrible, and new evidence that has now come to light may reopen the case. If Demjanjuk is eventually cleared, it is hoped that those who castigated Buchanan for defending him will have enough class to admit their mistakes. . . .
Patrick J. Buchanan is not an anti-Semite. He does shoot from the hip sometimes, but it is . . . hard for me to believe he does not like Jews when he has friends like Howard Phillips, Burt Blumert, and Murray Rothbard supporting him for President. If he is so anti-Israel, why did he work for two very pro-Israel administrations? And last but not least, if he is so opposed to Jews, why did he support and have as a hero, to this day, a man who is of Jewish ancestry—Barry Goldwater?

To the Editor:
Joshua Muravchik closes with an attack upon Patrick J. Buchanan's position on the fate of several persons accused of being Nazi war criminals. The attack is quite strong and serves as the basis for Mr. Muravchik's conclusion that Buchanan is, in fact, an anti-Semite. For Mr. Muravchik's conclusion to stand he must establish that Buchanan is wrong about these accused war criminals. . . .
Let us now turn to the facts in the cases cited. John Demjanjuk has been stripped of his U.S. citizenship, deported, and sentenced to death on the basis of two items of evidence. The first are 40-year-old eyewitness accounts of his alleged acts. The second are documents proffered by the USSR.
Eyewitness identification is very tricky even when it is fresh, but to believe that a sixty-year-old man looks the same way he looked when he was twenty is difficult.
As for documents from the USSR, before the advent of the Gorbachev reforms, the USSR was a criminal state which based its every action on advancing what it perceived to be its own interest. For the USSR to have turned over documents to the West, a decision had to be made at a high level that the conviction of the accused was in the interests of the USSR. . . . If actual documents existed they might be turned over, but it is more likely that forged documents would be supplied. . . . In any event, documents which came out of the USSR have no probative value in any real court of law and ought to be ignored. This leaves the entire case against John Demjanjuk based upon eyewitness testimony that is not reliable.
But there is more. Demjanjuk has never behaved like a guilty man. He came to the U.S. and openly lived under his own name. Had he really been the evil monster he is supposed to be, he would have changed his name and moved to Argentina. Similarly, he has continued to profess his innocence. Were he guilty, he would plead for mercy and claim that he had no choice as to what he did.
The trial of Demjanjuk was also a farce. The only question was whether he was the person he was accused of being. The entire trial should have been about whether the Soviet-supplied documents were enough to take a man's life. In fact, the trial was a show trial designed to serve as a history lesson for the youth of Israel. When the USSR staged show trials men of good will protested. When Israel stages show trials those who protest are called anti-Semitic. The hatreds and emotions stirred up at the Demjanjuk trial were so extreme that they resulted in the throwing of acid in the face of one of his lawyers.
In the Linnas case much the same argument can be made. There is, admittedly, more evidence of guilt in this case than in the Demjanjuk case, [but] . . . all the "evidence" against Linnas was in the form of testimony collected in pre-Gorbachev Soviet courts by Soviet lawyers. In all these hearings Linnas was referred to as the "fascist war criminal." It is also interesting to note that the Soviets never executed Linnas. He died of alcoholism in a Soviet prison. The Soviets also permitted his family to see him before he died. It seems that the Soviet Union of Gorbachev is more decent than the U.S. of Elizabeth Holtzman, who devoted so much effort to having Linnas deported. This, of course, is the same Elizabeth Holtzman who, in 1975, attended a Central Park rally to celebrate the fall of South Vietnam to the Communists.
Calling someone an anti-Semite is an act which for all intents and purposes ends discussion of the issues. On campus we cease talking when we are called racist, homophobic, sexist, or whatever neologism the purveyors of politically-correct thought have come up with. If it is wrong for the Left to brand us homophobic because we don't want to pay for the treatment of AIDS, a disease brought on by volitional behavior, we ought to abstain from labeling someone an anti-Semite merely because he argues for a point of view with which we do not agree. . . .
We in the neoconservative movement have fought for years on the campuses against an intellectual creed which replaces arguments based on fact with labeling. Yet now our flagship publication is doing just that to Patrick J. Buchanan. I have followed Buchanan closely for four years now. . . . He has his agenda and I have seen no indication that anti-Semitism is part of that agenda. Arguably, he is insensitive to Jewish concerns, but he is also insensitive to the concerns of all those with whom he disagrees. He seeks to lead a nationalistic American revolution against the forces of the Left which are corrupting and destroying this country. Isn't this exactly what COMMENTARY has been doing for a number of years? . . .

To the Editor:
After trudging through several thousand columns, books, and television appearances by Patrick J. Buchanan, Joshua Muravchik accuses him of "apparently" thinking this and "seemingly" thinking that, "flirting with" this and coming "perilously close" to that. Like the psychiatrists who declared Barry Goldwater all-but-insane (a man who, if elected, would get us into war in Vietnam!), Mr. Muravchik has performed psychoanalysis without meeting the patient. He has found anti-Semitism where Buchanan's friends and colleagues, Gentile and Jew alike, find none.
Mr. Muravchik finds great significance in the fact that "Buchanan is often taken for Irish. He is, however, more German than anything else. . . . His mother's lineage is German on both sides." Oh, of course. He has German blood; that explains everything, including his (obviously anti-Semitic!) support for the reunification of Germany.
But it does not explain why Buchanan blasts the Germans repeatedly and consistently for free loading off Uncle Sam, for failing to provide adequately for their own defense and for the defense of their own oil supplies. The idea that his views on the Persian Gulf crisis are founded in anti-Semitism is flatly contradicted by his support for an "America First" defense policy—one that brings the boys home not just from Saudi Arabia, but from Germany and Japan as well.
Nor does his (tainted?) blood explain why, for many years, he defended Israel from the rhetorical attacks of the American Left. If he's a born anti-Semite, he must be a late bloomer.
Perhaps Buchanan's supposed anti-Semitism stems from his Catholicism. Mr. Muravchik catches him red-handed defending the grass-roots Catholic position in the matter of the Carmelite convent at Auschwitz. He nabs him in the act of stating correctly that the media get away with slurs toward Catholics and Christians of a sort that Jews would never tolerate.
But how do you explain other supposed outrages—Buchanan trying to explain the motivations of Arafat and the PLO, or calling Hitler a skilled orator and political organizer as well as a racist mass-murderer, or suggesting that American standards of justice be applied to the trial of accused Nazis? . . .
How do you explain the Buchanan view (re Bitburg) that Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and the other totalitarians, not the seventeen-year-old conscripts in their armies, are the main enemies of mankind? How do you explain my favorite of Mr. Muravchik's outrages, that Buchanan—"someone who presents himself as an ardent patriot"—questioned the motives of the British empire circa 1914? No real American would do that, right?
I think the problem is that Mr. Muravchik, like many others, fails to understand Buchanan's style. The fact is, you could sift through his columns and commentaries and "prove" that he is anti-German, anti-Japanese, anti-African-American, anti-Southern, even anti-Catholic. (Read some of his writings about Catholic leaders.) He is none of these. He is a polemicist from the take-no-prisoners school. He fires both barrels every time he opens his mouth or takes pen in hand.
And he takes up unpopular causes; he isn't always right, but usually he is. Usually, he is the one person we can depend on to have the courage to offend—or even, as Mr. Muravchik puts it, to tweak.
Mr. Sensitive he ain't, and thank goodness for that! We've got enough editorialists who hem and haw and refuse to put their convictions on the line. If he thinks the evidence against Demjanjuk is, like The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a Russian forgery, he says so.
To those who would impose a mindless orthodoxy on public debate, Buchanan is a dangerous man. That's why someone kept voluminous files on him, mailed copies of selected pieces to the news media, and tried to have his column blacklisted. That's why now, years after he was appointed communications director at the White House, years after his newspaper column and Crossfire, The McLaughlin Group, and The Capital Gang gave him the biggest soapbox in America, suddenly we see this anti-Buchanan campaign. It began the moment he became the leading critic of administration policy in the Persian Gulf.
The important test for Buchanan is in the marketplace of ideas.
A few years ago, after I wrote about Stalin's murder of millions of Ukrainians, a nationally syndicated columnist accused me of trying to "downplay the Holocaust" with my story. I was doing no such thing, of course, and I was later proven right about Stalin's crimes. That's the way the marketplace works.
Buchanan is not some midnight pamphleteer working out of his garage. His every utterance is recorded and analyzed. If he were an anti-Semite, it would be obvious; that is not the sort of thing you can hide when you are on television seven days a week, any more than Dan Rather and Bryant Gumbel can hide their biases. If Buchanan were an anti-Semite, he would have been laughed out of the newspapers and off the tube long ago. The reason no one has found a smoking gun—no "Hymietown," no "gutter religion" remark—is that there isn't one to be found.
Mr. Muravchik charges specifically that Patrick J. Buchanan is filled with "an embedded hatred of Jewish people, manifest in writing and conduct. . . ." If that charge is true, it means that he hates Jews, but cleverly hides that hatred from his readers and viewers and friends and colleagues and everyone who knows him. How fiendish!

To the Editor:
It is a shame that Joshua Muravchik, in his otherwise thorough and insightful examination of Patrick J. Buchanan in light of recent accusations of anti-Semitism, resorts to ethnic stereotyping by revealing that Buchanan is "more German" than Irish in spite of his name. It is as inappropriate to conclude that Buchanan's ethnic lineage predicts his sympathies toward Germany as it is to insinuate that American Jews put Israel's interests first . . .
Patrick J. McNally

To the Editor:
Joshua Muravchik's attack on Patrick J. Buchanan includes half-truths that it would take reams of paper to refute in their entirety. I shall, therefore, limit myself to only a few of his charges. . . .
Why does Mr. Muravchik take offense at Buchanan for quoting Kurt Glaser's judgment that Germans, like Russians, were the "victims of totalitarianism"? Many Germans and Russians were precisely that, and most Germans were not responsible for Hitler's crimes, except insofar as they failed to overthrow a murderous tyranny. Nor does Buchanan's citation from Glaser signify agreement with everything written by the same author. Glaser is foolish to suggest that both sides were equally guilty of inflicting destruction, and Mr. Muravchik may be right in challenging Glaser's motives for making such a statement. Even so, there were undoubtedly war atrocities (does Mr. Muravchik dispute this?) committed by the Allies as well as the Axis. Both sides during World War II engaged in fire-bombing and the indiscriminate killing of civilian populations. Moreover, millions of Germans, including social democrats like Mr. Muravchik, were expelled from their homes by Communist-guided regimes throughout Eastern Europe from 1945 on. The same regimes confiscated their victims' properties and did so on a massive scale in annexing former German territories. To Mr. Muravchik's horror, Buchanan noted that Helmut Kohl would have been justified in raising such issues in his negotiations with the Poles and the Czechs. . . . It seems churlish to scold Buchanan for alluding to atrocities that do not interest Mr. Muravchik because they happened to Germans.
I am also troubled by Mr. Muravchik's almost prurient fascination with Buchanan's German antecedents. Does this trace of German blood help confirm the charge of anti-Semitism? Supposedly it does, as evidenced by the fact that the Buchanan family did not like Woodrow Wilson. My own family, which fled from the Nazis, despised Wilson for making war on the Austro-Hungarian empire. Mr. Muravchik is . . . entitled to think differently about the anti-Semitic Negrophobe who schemed with Robert Lansing to push America into World War I, but I am not sure that disliking Wilson tells anything about one's feeling toward Jews. In any case, Buchanan takes a position on World War I that Mr. Muravchik should endorse. In a column in 1973 he praised German Americans who "killed their own cousins" in fighting the Kaiser's Germany.
Regarding the comparison of a former Nazi scientist to the Sakharovs, Mr. Muravchik and Buchanan are both half-wrong. Arthur Rudolph was more gravely implicated in Nazi crimes than Buchanan leads us to believe. But the Sakharovs were far more reprehensible than cold-war liberals have admitted. Sakharov, who remained a Marxist, had employed slave labor as a Soviet atomic physicist. His wife, Elena Bonner, had been a long-time Stalinist with close KGB connections. While this couple may have come to regret their youthful indiscretions, the same may be said about one-time Nazis. I suspect that Mr. Muravchik himself would be making this point, had he not set out to write a screed exclusively against Buchanan.
It should be conceded that Buchanan has written rashly about suspected Nazi war criminals, albeit usually out of a misguided sense of justice. His remarks about the gas used in extermination camps were both tasteless and intended to rile. He has also changed his opinions about the Middle East too quickly and too totally for us to consider him an entirely disinterested observer. He is, in fact, no more of one than his present accusers. Still, many of Buchanan's peeves are justified. He is correct to observe that those who rush to excuse African terrorists and American underclass killers are less indulgent toward octogenarians with Slavic or German names accused of Nazi atrocities. He has also noticed that A. M. Rosenthal, who calls for stamping out the PLO, supports South African black terrorists. Buchanan rightly complains that almost every discussion of the Holocaust begins or ends by trashing Christians. He wonders how Christianity could be the critical factor for a form of anti-Semitism that was also explicitly anti-Christian. As a historian I have often wondered about the same thing, in view of the absence of evidence linking Christian faith to Nazi membership and the stated repugnance of Nazi leaders for the Bible.
I mention Buchanan's responses to the attitudes of Jewish liberal journalists, for these may help explain why he is not as sympathetic to Jewish concerns as he once was. All the same, Buchanan continues to defend America's role in destroying Nazism and ending the Holocaust. One might have inferred something different from reading Mr. Muravchik's tirade.

As an industrial toxicologist with 35 years' experience, which included many studies of exposures to the exhausts of internal-combustion engines, I would be inclined to question the use of diesel-engine exhaust for mass executions, as Patrick J. Buchanan did in his defense of John Demjanjuk.
If the lethal effect of such exhaust is primarily to diminish the oxygen content of the air, at least 500 cubic feet of exhaust would be needed in a 1,000-cubic-foot chamber, to be fatal within an hour. In that case, the temperature inside the chamber would be horrendous.
On the other hand, if gasoline-engine exhaust were used, with a carbon-monoxide content of 5 percent, only 40 cubic feet would be required and the effects would be much quicker and less cruel. The average person, not a mechanic or engineer, would not know whether a given vehicle was powered by a diesel or gasoline engine. How definite and authoritative is the evidence that diesel rather than gasoline engines were used?
I also fail to see that this particular question has any major bearing on the matter of Patrick J. Buchanan's anti-Semitism.

To the Editor:
Joshua Muravchik's article, "Patrick J. Buchanan and the Jews," is well argued, informative, and powerful. It does, however, contain an error about my writing on Buchanan. While I did write in the New York Post a column lamenting a "dark and medieval . . . rage" behind Buchanan's words, I did so some sixteen months ago, in response to a Buchanan column on the Carmelite convent at Auschwitz, not, as Mr. Muravchik suggests, in the wake of the Buchanan-A. M. Rosenthal controversy, a full year later.
I emphasize the point not only for the sake of accuracy, but because I would probably not have used that phrasing in that context, and because I felt no need to add more when my own views were amply represented by the Post editorial on Buchanan discussed in Mr. Muravchik's article.

. . . Patrick J. Buchanan, if he chooses to respond to Joshua Muravchik, might note a number of points in Mr. Muravchik's accusation that fall short of presenting undeniable proof, even while strongly indicating recognizable traces of lamentable bigotry. . . .
After Mr. Muravchik's revealing article, Buchanan is under serious obligation to answer the carefully catalogued charges and to indicate whether or not they were "taken out of context." Silence on Buchanan's part in this case is not golden. It is rather more like dross—heavy.

To the Editor:
While Joshua Muravchik has not convinced me that Patrick J. Buchanan is an anti-Semite, he has given conservatives much food for thought. What concerns me is Mr. Muravchik's equation of Buchanan's defense of his Catholic faith with anti-Semitism.
Publicly, at least, Jews have been seen exclusively by America's elite as a persecuted minority with progressive, if not radical, tendencies. Orthodox Jews have been treated like a curious tourist attraction for Historyland, invented by a Disney executive. On the other hand, Catholics (the orthodox ones, at least) have always been portrayed as a pernicious and reactionary, if not un-American, force. Too numerous to claim minority status, Catholics are labeled "paranoid" when we complain about discrimination.
By his ambivalence toward the desecration of Holy Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral in the name of free speech, Mr. Muravchik does a disservice to both Catholics and Jews who take their belief in the Creator seriously.

To the Editor:
. . . It is worth noting the silence of the Catholic Church and some of its apologists about Patrick J. Buchanan's ravings. From so acute and interesting a mind as William F. Buckley, Jr.'s one might have expected better than vapid remarks about Buchanan's "insensitivity" and A. M. Rosenthal's "oversensitivity." . . . Will the Catholic Conference of Bishops take time out from making pronouncements on birth control and the Middle East to express episcopal displeasure with Buchanan's anti-Semitism? I doubt it.
But it is not only some Catholics who have granted themselves dispensation from the sin of silence about anti-Semitism in their midst. The majority of journalists have been just as lenient with Buchanan, which is to say with themselves. . . .
While many of his co-religionists and fellow journalists chose to avert their eyes from Buchanan's antics, other deep thinkers were eager to congratulate and support him. On October 15, 1990, the New York Times carried a large ad by "Jews and Christians Against a Mideast War." It praised Buchanan because, unlike his critics, "he puts America first." The America-firsters who signed this crude endorsement represented a remarkable variety of political persuasions: the "conservative" ideologue Paul Gottfried; the Hayek-von Mises epigone Murray Rothbard; the Cato Institute's truculent Israel-basher Leon Hadar; the feminist-socialist (and former left-wing Knesset member) Marsha Friedman; and so on. Truly, the state of Israel is a wonderful thing: it can now do for those in intellectual disarray what it has long done for the Arab nations—unite otherwise warring parties against a common enemy. . . .

. . . There is obviously more than enough evidence of Patrick J. Buchanan's anti-Semitism. But it seems to me that there are different levels of anti-Semitism and that all of the sufferers from this ancient disease should not be included within this all-encompassing term. There are some Jews who are themselves infected, because of personal embarrassment or the need to prove they are American, first and foremost . . .
In any case, my concern is over why it is necessary to pussyfoot around with detailed proof of anti-Semitism. Why must chapter and verse be cited about such despicable people? Why do we even use such a gentle term as anti-Semite? . . .

For years, I have been reading and listening to Patrick J. Buchanan's interminable rantings and I long ago concluded that he was an anti-Semite. . . .

. . . The last time the fascist, Jew-hating Right and the Communist, Jew-hating Left slept in the same bed was following the Hitler-Stalin marriage of convenience, just prior to World War II. Patrick J. Buchanan's resurrection of the fascist-Left alliance is well described in Joshua Muravchik's fine article and should be a warning to those of us who still consider ourselves civilized and to those of us who remember why the lights went out from 1939 to 1945.

To the Editor:
Congratulations to Joshua Muravchik for his excellent analysis of the controversy over Patrick J. Buchanan's anti-Semitism.
The most disturbing element in the row over Buchanan's attacks on American Jews and Israel has been the reluctance of most commentators to deal honestly with the question of anti-Semitism. As in the recent cases of Gore Vidal and Jesse Jackson, the restraints on openly expressing the kind of Jew-hatred that had once been confined to the margins of American society have been seriously eroded. The real news about the Buchanan incident is the overwhelming lack of interest of the American public and the complete absence of a sense of outrage over his Jew-baiting outside of the Jewish community. . . . Whatever else he has accomplished, Buchanan has proved conclusively that anti-Semitism is no longer beyond the pale of respectable discourse in American politics. . . .
Jonathan S. Tobin
Brooklyn, New York
Joshua Muravchik writes:
I thank Evan J. Winer, George I. Bernstein, and Jonathan S. Tobin for their compliments. I thank Robert D. Novak for his, too, but I'm afraid that the difference he discerns between my analysis of Patrick J. Buchanan and that of other public figures whom I have criticized lies only in Mr. Novak's affinity for the former. I read through a great many but not all of Buchanan's columns and therefore kept no scoreboard, but I saw no "thrust . . . in favor of Israel"; at best it was a mixed bag. From Mr. Novak's unique vantage point as Israel's most vociferous and relentless critic in the mainstream American press, this may make Buchanan seem a "sympathizer with the Zionist cause," but measured against other, more relevant, standards it gives a different impression.
The first of these standards is the justice of the case. The underlying issue of the Arab-Israel conflict has always been the unwillingness of most Arab states to accept the existence of Israel. This is compounded by the vast disparity in the degree to which the two sides adhere to humane norms of civic behavior cherished by Americans. In consequence, most Americans are pro-Israel, not ambivalent like Buchanan.
The second standard is the nature of the PLO, the enemy on the cutting edge of the crusade against Israel and the one for which Buchanan has exhibited growing sympathy. The PLO has identified and collaborated with the African National Congress, the Salvadoran guerrillas, the Nicaraguan Sandinistas, and other such "liberation movements," which have been allied with the Soviet Union. Buchanan has been nothing short of ferocious toward all these groups except the PLO. And his ferocity has not been tempered by the shortcomings of their respective adversaries—the governments of South Africa and El Salvador and the contras—all of them, to put it mildly, scarcely less flawed than Israel. That Buchanan should be ambivalent as between Israel and the PLO, rather than uniformly anti-Israel, does not prove, as Mr. Novak would have it, that he is innocent of anti-Semitism. Rather, it suggests that his usual ideological proclivities are counterbalanced by something else—and what can that be but hostility toward Israel?
Were Buchanan's record on Israel more sympathetic, that would still not erase his taunting of Jews, his suggestion that Jews were trying to drag America into war for Israel's sake, his outlandish charges of a Jewish conspiracy against him, his exhortations to Catholic-Jewish conflict, his championing of Nazi war criminals, and his dabbling in Holocaust revisionism. In the event, his mixed views about Israel and its pro-Communist adversaries only reinforce the impression made by these other stands.
Mark R. Masterson finds all of this an "incredibly tiresome . . . assembly of circumstantial tidbits," and Phil Shaw finds it no more evidence of anti-Semitism than opposition to quotas is evidence of racism. To impeach my case, however, they would have to offer an alternative, benign interpretation of the items I cited from Buchanan's record, which they have not done for a single one.
Nor will it suffice to cite occasional columns, as does my friend Allan Ryskind, in which Buchanan supported Israel or criticized someone for anti-Semitism. Buchanan's stock-in-trade is disputation and his targets are legion. In the course of a salvo against Karl Marx or the ACLU or Idi Amin he may well come down on the "pro-Jewish" side, but this does not diminish the import of the numerous occasions and contexts in which he has made the Jews his target.
Mr. Ryskind also makes much of the fact that Buchanan has Jewish friends, a point echoed by Andrew J. Murphy with the bizarre fillip about Barry Goldwater. They do not understand that anti-Semitism comes in a variety of forms. One variant, what we might call country-club prejudice, consists in an aversion to associating with Jews, but may entail no particular political content. On the other side, political anti-Semitism holds "the Jews" culpable of miscreancy, but may entail no dislike for this or that individual Jew. The latter type is infinitely more dangerous.
Messrs. Ryskind and Murphy both argue that Buchanan's opposition to America's involvement in the Persian Gulf is explained by his isolationism, not by an animus toward Israel. Perhaps, although I wonder if he would counsel neutrality in the event of, say, an attack on Taiwan by the People's Republic of China. My main point, however, concerned Buchanan's accusation that men like Richard Perle and Charles Krauthammer advocated resistance to Iraq only out of loyalty to Israel; this, I said, made him guilty of Jew-baiting because in fact their stance on Iraq was entirely consistent with their views on other issues.
Messrs. Ryskind and Murphy both also minimize Buchanan's role as an advocate for Nazi war criminals. They note that others have opposed deporting Karl Linnas and have questioned the evidence against John Demjanjuk. But Buchanan has not merely questioned the evidence against Demjanjuk, he has flatly declared its inauthenticity, in contradiction of U.S. government experts, and he has brazenly impugned the motives of American and Israeli officials who worked on the case. He has gone on to deny that "Ivan the Terrible" ever really existed, and that diesel-engine exhaust with which the Nazis killed many Jews is lethal. He has also taken up the case of Arthur Rudolph, and has flat-out lied by claiming that German prosecutors rejected the Justice Department's case against Rudolph. As his championing of these war criminals has grown more feverish, Buchanan has begun to regurgitate whole chunks of "information" supplied to him by kooks who claim that the Holocaust never happened.
Susan Jordan takes Buchanan's side on the particulars of the Demjanjuk and Linnas cases, but she is all wrong on the facts. The eyewitnesses who identified Demjanjuk did so on the basis of photographs taken soon after the war, not on his appearance today. How trustworthy are 40-year-old recollections? As any trial lawyer will tell you, that depends. You might not remember the face of someone who, say, snatched your purse, but you might have a pretty indelible memory of someone who tortured you and murdered your loved ones, day in and day out, for months or years.
As for the documentary evidence of Demjanjuk's guilt, it is of course true that the KGB perpetrates forgeries. But American, Israeli, and German experts have said that they are aware of no case of Soviet forgery in a Nazi war-crimes trial, which is not so surprising given the lack of political saliency in any of these cases. Moreover, in the Demjanjuk case, the critical documents were examined and scientifically tested by U.S. and Israeli government experts who pronounced them authentic. Nor, contrary to Susan Jordan, were the documents and witnesses the only evidence on which Demjanjuk was convicted: there was also his own testimony. His alibi was that he was being held as a POW by the Germans at Chelm until October 1944, after Treblinka had been closed down, but as the American court noted in its decision against him, Chelm had been retaken by the Red Army in January 1944, and so his alibi was a lie.
Susan Jordan errs even more grievously with regard to Linnas. Most of the testimony against Linnas was gathered in the Soviet Union, but not by Soviet courts: rather, by U.S. Justice Department officials in videotaped depositions. It is true that Soviet officials were present, but far from there being indications that the witnesses were coached or lying, there were suggestions to the contrary. To the consternation of the Soviet officials present, one key witness insisted on identifying himself as a citizen of Estonia rather than of the Soviet Union. There were also concentration-camp documents, authenticated by FBI experts, implicating Linnas, and a member of Linnas's Long Island car-pool testified that in a conversation the morning after the sensational charges against him broke in the American press, Linnas admitted his presence at the Tartu concentration camp.
Richard Viguerie seems incapable of writing an honest sentence. I did not criticize Buchanan for his views on the location of the Carmelite convent but for his appeal for intercommunal warfare over it; not for explaining the motivations of the PLO but for sympathizing with it; not for calling Hitler a skilled orator but for stringing together a litany of Hitler's alleged virtues including such debatable ones as bravery and scholarship; not over the seventeen-year-old soldiers buried at Bitburg but over the SS men buried there; and for blackening not Britain's motives in World War I, but America's.
Moreover, Mr. Viguerie's gratuitous reference to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion echoes Buchanan's penchant for needling Jews. The documentary evidence against Demjanjuk has withstood expert scrutiny. The other evidence consists of the testimony of his victims; even if they erred—and there is no reason to believe they did—this bears no resemblance to the Protocols, a transparent fraud and the instrument of a vicious conspiracy which has cost many Jewish lives.
To top it off, Mr. Viguerie seems to hold the bizarre belief that he is the discoverer of Stalin's crimes against Ukrainians and, further, that this shows something about the "marketplace." If it does, it shows that there is a market for buffoonery.
Patrick J. McNally is right to object to assuming that Buchanan's lineage predicts his philo-Germanism. I did not, however, assume it; I inferred it from Buchanan's autobiography, in which he lays great stress on his loyalty—not only to his family, country, and Church, but even to his class and generation, and in which he dwells with great affection on his lineage.
Of course, as Paul Gottfried suggests, many Germans were victims of Hitler's crimes, but a goodly number were perpetrators, too. Nothing I wrote indicated a lack of sympathy for those victims or for the innocent German victims of Allied excesses; nor did I tax Buchanan for his German blood. I did, however, tax him for flagrantly impugning America's motives in World War I, for denigrating America's behavior in World War II, and for embracing the Nazi apologist Kurt Glaser. I found it ironic that Buchanan was so eager to exonerate Germany that he would calumniate America even while accusing American Jews of putting Israel's interests first.
It was disgusting of Buchanan to liken Arthur Rudolph to Sakharov, but Mr. Gottfried is even more disgusting in slandering the Sakharovs. Sakharov did not "remain" a Marxist, if he had ever been one, nor did he "employ" slave labor. Although slave labor was used, as Sakharov reports, in the nuclear-weapons program in which he worked as a physicist, he, unlike Rudolph, had no part in running the program. Moreover, Sakharov devoted much of his life—indeed, he gave his life—to defending slave laborers, political prisoners, and other victims of the Soviet regime. His wife Elena Bonner was once a Communist-party member, but never a "Stalinist," nor, according to any known evidence, was she associated with the KGB except as a victim. This charge, which, as best I can tell, originates with Mr. Gottfried, and is offered without a scintilla of evidence, is so vile that unless he can back it up he has written himself out of the circle of respectable discourse. I suppose I shouldn't expect much better from a man who says that "almost every discussion of the Holocaust begins or ends by trashing Christians."
As to Hervey B. Elkins's calculations (which seem to take no account of the number of human beings inside the killing chamber), numerous reports concur that diesel engines were used, and he is right that the effect was slow—which is why the Nazis switched where they could to Zyklon-B. The relevance of the issue is Buchanan's implication that Jews were not gassed at Treblinka, a thesis which in fact is argued by the "Holocaust revisionists" from whom Buchanan seems to have borrowed some of the "information" he has used in defense of Nazi war criminals.
I apologize to Scott McConnell for my error, although I plead extenuation in that the photocopy of his column I received from his newspaper had the year obscured, so I assumed it was from 1990 instead of 1989. Had I gotten the year right, it would only have strengthened my case by driving home the import of Buchanan's intervention in the Carmelite convent controversy. I am sorry that my error obscured the credit Mr. McConnell deserves for having pointed to a pathology in Buchanan's attitude toward Jews a year before the "amen corner" remark.
I find Albert L. Weeks's comment interesting, but perhaps it comes one round too late. The indictment against Buchanan was first brought by A.M. Rosenthal (having been adumbrated in part by Scott McConnell). If Buchanan sincerely believed himself innocent and misunderstood, he might have said so in his reply to Rosenthal, notwithstanding the fact that Rosenthal's tone scarcely invited reconciliation. Instead, he accused Rosenthal of being the instrument of an Anti-Defamation League conspiracy against him, and, curiously, he avoided directly denying the charge.
Finally, I am pained that Lawrence P. Biacchi thinks I am ambivalent about the desecration at St. Patrick's, an act which I found outrageous. I did not mean to minimize it by saying that it was up to the police to determine whether it warranted classification as a "hate crime" under the law, or by pointing out that it was sinister of Buchanan to imply that "hate crime" laws are intended to favor Jews over Catholics. Further, I agree with Mr. Biacchi that Catholics, particularly orthodox ones, have been maligned and ridiculed. I decry this, no less so when the perpetrators are Jewish, and no less than I decry Patrick J. Buchanan's venom toward the Jews.

Found this, [5]. It's the prologue chapter to the beginning of the ORAS manga series. Ellis99 VII & VIII 19:47, July 8, 2015 (UTC)
ORAS Chp 007 Edit
Hoopa appears as a silhouette so I've added it to the chapter. Look, [6]. Ellis99 VII & VIII 07:19, July 9, 2015 (UTC)
Removal Edit
I'm removing the brackets from this template, Template:Y, to match Template:RB. Ellis99 VII & VIII 11:44, July 9, 2015 (UTC)
- Done but, I've had to put <br /> next to {{RB}} since anything written next to it always goes below it and displays like you've done <pre>. Ellis99 VII & VIII 11:51, July 9, 2015 (UTC)
- This is on the Stun Spore page too. Try it without </br /> next to {{RB}} to see what I'm talking about. Ellis99 VII & VIII 11:52, July 9, 2015 (UTC)
- Shall I replace Link templates that have <sup> with <small> or the other way round? Ellis99 VII & VIII 11:57, July 9, 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for sorting it. Ellis99 VII & VIII 12:09, July 9, 2015 (UTC)
- I've matched Y with RB too. Ellis99 VII & VIII 12:28, July 9, 2015 (UTC)
Do you think we need it since we have others now? Template:Sup/3. Ellis99 VII & VIII 12:40, July 9, 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. Ellis99 VII & VIII 15:13, July 9, 2015 (UTC)
Can you read the message above please about the changes to the link templates I suggested. Ellis99 VII & VIII 17:05, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
Essentia and Emma Edit
Emma appears as both of them in the manga, should there be pages on each or just Emma's page detailing as Essentia? Ellis99 VII & VIII 19:24, July 9, 2015 (UTC)
- Right. Ellis99 VII & VIII 06:22, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
- I've segregated Emma's Pokemon with Essentia's on the Adventures page. Can you change Emma's Espurr to Mimi without a redirect since that is what it's called. Ellis99 VII & VIII 07:22, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks :) Ellis99 VII & VIII 07:45, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
- Mimi needs changing in this template, Template:Pokémon BW 1 char. Ellis99 VII & VIII 07:52, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks and Mimi (Unova) is now not linked to anything too. Ellis99 VII & VIII 08:22, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
- Also, it needs deleting. Ellis99 VII & VIII 08:30, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. Ellis99 VII & VIII 09:08, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
B&W manga Edit
Did you say to me to create the chapters? (Can't remember) Ellis99 VII & VIII 09:17, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. I forgot :( Ellis99 VII & VIII 09:20, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
- B&W002 is about to be created. Ellis99 VII & VIII 09:38, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
- Would a flashback be considered a debut? Ellis99 VII & VIII 09:53, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
- Uploaded B&W003. Ellis99 VII & VIII 10:02, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks do you want me to still come to you when it comes to deletions? Ellis99 VII & VIII 12:41, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
- Okay then and how do you think I'm doing. Ellis99 VII & VIII 12:52, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
- I've updated the chapters on B&W and B2W2 since they didn't seem right. Also, some of the updated info came from Serebii (Kyurem and Dewott). Ellis99 VII & VIII 07:20, July 11, 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry, I saw Palpitoad. At the time, I didn't. Ellis99 VII & VIII 07:45, July 11, 2015 (UTC)
- Will do. Ellis99 VII & VIII 07:45, July 11, 2015 (UTC)
About to upload B&W002 synopsis and plot. Ellis99 VII & VIII 18:04, July 14, 2015 (UTC)
- I'll try but I won't be able to do it in the next two week s due to internet running out. But, once it comes back in the first few days of next month, I'll do it more often. I've been editorialising at today's one. Ellis99 VII & VIII 18:19, July 14, 2015 (UTC)
- Done, check it out! B&W002: Choices. Ellis99 VII & VIII 18:26, July 14, 2015 (UTC)
- If a Pokemon appears on the cover of something and their figure is blacked out, is that still considered a debut? Ellis99 VII & VIII 09:29, July 15, 2015 (UTC)
- This one. [7]. Ellis99 VII & VIII 09:34, July 15, 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll put it in then. Ellis99 VII & VIII 09:38, July 15, 2015 (UTC)
- I've spaced out a paragraph since they are two different scenes. Ellis99 VII & VIII 13:50, July 15, 2015 (UTC)
- The reason why I wrote it to look like it's spaced out is because I didn't know which to write it since it was going back and forth from the past and present. Ellis99 VII & VIII 15:35, July 15, 2015 (UTC)
B&W004 is officially created! Ellis99 VII & VIII 12:14, July 17, 2015 (UTC)
Do you think I should create chapters then write the synopsis and plot or do you think I should create chapters once I've written the synopsis and plot? Ellis99 VII & VIII 07:15, July 18, 2015 (UTC)
I've decided. I'll upload the chapter once I've finished the writing of the synopsis and plot. I'll be still writing the chapter when I have no internet too so don't worry on not having chapters. Ellis99 VII & VIII 10:35, July 18, 2015 (UTC)
No problem, I thought to make it for you easier if the tables were already added. Alright, I just wanted to complete the tables when the Ruby & Sapphire arc will end. I will work on the other things right now.--Lordranged7 (talk) 12:21, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
Can you delete, Maxie's Groudon and Archie's Kyogre? (I've corrected some links in your archive) Ellis99 VII & VIII 07:42, July 11, 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. Ellis99 VII & VIII 07:47, July 11, 2015 (UTC)
- These two too. Origin Wave and Precipice Blade. Ellis99 VII & VIII 18:31, July 11, 2015 (UTC)
Future contentEdit
I was thinking that maybe we could put in the template about chapters too. How do you feel about that? Ellis99 VII & VIII 07:47, July 11, 2015 (UTC)
- Fair point I must admit. Ellis99 VII & VIII 07:52, July 11, 2015 (UTC)
Template Edit
I've made the words at the top central. Template:MoveBoxTop. Ellis99 VII & VIII 08:39, July 11, 2015 (UTC)
I've also done it to the Template:VillainInfoBox too. Ellis99 VII & VIII 16:31, July 11, 2015 (UTC
- Sorry for not asking first X. I will ask first in future. Ellis99 VII & VIII 18:05, July 11, 2015 (UTC)
I was thinking of also making the title on this central too. Ellis99 VII & VIII 16:46, July 14, 2015 (UTC)
- Will do. Ellis99 VII & VIII 17:01, July 14, 2015 (UTC)
Shadow Triad Edit
Do you think it needs a the characterbox template? Ellis99 VII & VIII 18:12, July 11, 2015 (UTC)
- I'll add it now. Ellis99 VII & VIII 18:15, July 11, 2015 (UTC)
- Also, I've added the Missing Image template too (sorry for the typo above). Ellis99 VII & VIII 18:20, July 11, 2015 (UTC)
Bot request for anime/manga categoriesEdit
OK, I've placed the request. What's next? Icy Flasher (talk) 14:46, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's what I thought. So, what now? Should I list all the pages? Icy Flasher (talk) 15:09, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
Needed Edit
Do you think this is needed? :File:New Pokémon Movie Coming to Cartoon Network - IGN News. I don't think it is. Ellis99 VII & VIII 16:17, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks and also, I was thinking of making the look of the B2W2 on this template look similar to how it looks in this template. What do you think? Ellis99 VII & VIII 16:33, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
- Can I use Template:BW too? Since it would loom better? Ellis99 VII & VIII 16:41, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll do it now. Ellis99 VII & VIII 16:57, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
Origins Edit
If a Trainers Pokemon appears, i.e. Lorelei's Dewgong, where should it go? The main page or the anime page of the trainer? Ellis99 VII & VIII 17:35, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
- Right. Thanks for clarifying that for me. Ellis99 VII & VIII 17:40, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
- I'm going to create Origins pages for the Elite Four by the way. Ellis99 VII & VIII 17:53, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
- Created them all. Ellis99 VII & VIII 18:04, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
- I'll have a look to see which ones haven't been created. Ellis99 VII & VIII 18:08, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
- In the Adventures section, they have each chapter, i.e. Ruby, Blue & Green chapters, I have removed them since the info should be on their Adventures counterpart. Is that okay? Ellis99 VII & VIII 18:18, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
- Here's an example, [8]. Ellis99 VII & VIII 18:21, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
- Okay. Ellis99 VII & VIII 18:31, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
Created them all. Ellis99 VII & VIII 18:53, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
Adventures Edit
Do we keep the header now? Ellis99 VII & VIII 08:45, July 13, 2015 (UTC)
- On some pages, I see that a character is in Adventures on the main page of the character, yet it doesn't have the Adventures header. I'll stick to the chapters from now on. Ellis99 VII & VIII 10:20, July 13, 2015 (UTC)
- Example, Diantha#Manga. No Adventures header. Ellis99 VII & VIII 10:22, July 13, 2015 (UTC)
- Okay. Thanks too. Ellis99 VII & VIII 10:38, July 13, 2015 (UTC)
Block Kurai Norai Edit
Hi EnergyX, you must block User:Kurai Norai because it creates ptcgo.wikia.com. Ask Doodles Wikia to poke it.
Category problemEdit
Icy Flasher is putting unnecessary categories like Bug-type anime Pokémon on different pages? Can you tell her to stop, please? DragonSpore18 (talk) 22:25, July 14, 2015 (UTC)
PokéPower & PokéPower Project Updates Edit
Am I allowed to update all of it? I can't remember. Ellis99 VII & VIII 07:32, July 15, 2015 (UTC)
- I am. I've nearly finished today's one. Ellis99 VII & VIII 09:12, July 15, 2015 (UTC)
- Will do. They take longer to write as there are more pages than the first chapter. Ellis99 VII & VIII 09:20, July 15, 2015 (UTC)
Jimmy rename Edit
Jimmy needs renaming to Jimmy (Johto) since there are two Jimmy's. Ellis99 VII & VIII 13:52, July 15, 2015 (UTC)
- Could you read the message above please. Sorry for sounding a pain. Ellis99 VII & VIII 18:55, July 15, 2015 (UTC)
- Will do. Already started on B&W004. Ellis99 VII & VIII 18:58, July 15, 2015 (UTC)
Question About Linking Pages Edit
I figured I would ask you.
I have to been trying to add links to my own wiki such as Pokemon: Advanced, etc and it keeps linking me to unmade pages on this wiki. Is there a particular reason for this?
For example, whenever I Link "Naruto: Shippuden" It takes me to that page on my wiki.
But If I was to link "Pokemon: Shippuden" as an example, it would link me to this wiki. Is there any reason for this?
It also doesnt matter if I use the world "Pokémon or Pokemon" Both link here and I cant make those pages on my wiki.
Any help would be appriciatied BlackDragon 15:05, July 15, 2015 (UTC)
Alright I made a project page where I wrote what was happening
BlackDragon 18:00, July 15, 2015 (UTC)
You seem to have misunderstood what I was trying to do.
I dont want to link an article to the Pokemon wiki.
I want to create a page on my wiki titled "Pokemon: Best Wishes!" for example
However, everytime I go to create that page on my wiki or put a link to a page "Pokemon:Best Wishes!" it send me to a "Best Wishes!" page on this wiki.
Is there any particular reason behind this. I asked since you are an admin here. Its quite troubling and annoying me honestly. I wanted a page on my wiki titled
- Pokémon: Advanced Generation
- Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl
- Pokémon: Best Wishes!
- Pokémon: XY
etc, however it wont let me without redirecting me here.
BlackDragon 19:08, July 15, 2015 (UTC)
I typed the article in the style that you suggested and it take me back to a this wiki saying to create an article here.
I want to create the article on my wiki. If you dont would you mind trying?
Its quite frustrating me honestly.
BlackDragon 19:13, July 15, 2015 (UTC)
Im sorry, I dont understand what you are trying to tell me. I dont mean to be a bother, but I tried creating a a page titled "Pokemon: Best Wishes!" on my wiki and it wont let me without redirecting here.
Even If I use the create page option
BlackDragon 19:26, July 15, 2015 (UTC)
Im sorry man, all you are doing is linking the pages to this wiki,
Thats the problem I am having. I DONT want them linking to this wiki, I want them linked to my wiki.
Eveytime I clicked on the links yoo did it takes me directly to the pages on this Wiki and not mine.
I guess Ill just ask someone else. I thought you might be able to help. BlackDragon 02:42, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
Im certain I did mention it. Maybe you misunderstood.
I thought I would ask a Pokemon wiki admin because it releates to them
Why does "Pokemon: (Whatever)" Link to the pokemon wiki, but
"Naruto: (Whatever)" links to my page?
What I want is have a page on MY wiki titled "Pokemon: Best Wishes!" But it wont allow me
Why is the Pokemon wiki the only one that does this? If you dont know do you think someone else might?
I appreciate your help though BlackDragon 14:55, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
Alright, thanks man. I took your advice and contacting someone on the staff thing. Hopefully they can help. Thanks BlackDragon 18:52, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
Sure thing. Well, in fact, the ones I did was in the order of most visited pages, according to the Bug-type category. Since the manga ones are not visited much, I didn't get there. But sure, I'll try to give a balance. Icy Flasher (talk) 15:30, July 15, 2015 (UTC)
- Oh, I see now. Yeah, that's a good option. After the poll is decided and it's yes, and we'll do that. Icy Flasher (talk) 02:10, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
Hello Energy X,
In the menu navigation > Pokémon > Gen IV, the button that should link to Giratina shows Girantina for some reason.

Nightfurrystrick Edit
Can you tell this user to upload pics with better names and better images since they are small. Ellis99 VII & VIII 12:38, July 17, 2015 (UTC)
Trevor's CharmanderEdit
Could you revert Trevor's Charmeleon back to charmander? Like the others I think it best till the premier. I think that's what you say. That's what you told me right?--Kyurem147 (talk) 13:41, July 17, 2015 (UTC)
Thanks X. Think it's best we wait till it comes out?--Kyurem147 (talk) 18:28, July 17, 2015 (UTC)
Volume 44 Edit
I was thinking of uploading the table that Lord was doing to the other volumes. Shall I upload one to Volume 44 since that is where the next chapter will be on? Ellis99 VII & VIII 17:32, July 17, 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I had to add it due to internet problems. Ellis99 VII & VIII 17:54, July 17, 2015 (UTC)
- Will do. It's just that I don't want to get myself ahead of where I am when writing the chapters. Ellis99 VII & VIII 18:33, July 17, 2015 (UTC)
Message Send BackEdit
Thank you. I'll do the best I can.--Jokeman20 (talk) 11:32, July 20, 2015 (UTC)
XY anime WikiEdit
Hey there Energy. I recently found out a [pokemonxyanime.wikia.com] wiki focusing on the anime series xy (which is completely empty) through someones favorite wikis. The founder there is inactive, but still edits elsewhere. He promoted me to admin (maybe bcrat too). Should we become friend wikis? There have been several wikis created regarding niche topics from star wars, and have been friend wikis from wookiepedia. Utkar22 16:41, July 27, 2015 (UTC)
- I don't see much point in merger either. I was asking if we become friend wikis, because we are going to (or probably only me) add a link to the main article about that pokemon here. And about plots, it is up to you if you want it similar or different. Anyways we need the images of pokemon from here. Can I get them? Utkar22 11:39, July 28, 2015 (UTC)
- On the pokemon articles, we are focusing on the x and y anime only, and making a link to the main article here.
For now, I am fine with doing the FOB battles, maybe in the future. Alright, I'll keep that in mind for the next battles. Thanks for updating the messages all those times.--Lordranged7 (talk) 21:03, July 27, 2015 (UTC)
What are the standards to being among Ash's strongest Pokemon? Edit
Just wondering, since Staraptor was added, What are the standards to being among Ash's strongest Pokemon? Justin Holland (talk) 21:26, July 27, 2015 (UTC)
Recognition of Creativity Edit
i was wondering if you could add pages about notable Pokémon hacks like Pokémon Light Platinum (a hack of Pokémon Ruby). I realise this wikia only contains official Pokémon information, but games like Pokémon Light Platinum use the Pokémon Universe in a way that makes it feel like an official game.
D3X1K AXYZ (talk) 18:33, July 29, 2015 (UTC)
ok. thanks. I have run into problems where i would create a page and have it taken down. i decided to ask first before i did anything.
D3X1K AXYZ (talk) 18:48, July 29, 2015 (UTC)
Hi there. You see when you click on the little numbers of references and it takes you to the bottom of the page where the reference is? Well, I've seen on some other Wikis that when you click on the little numbers, a little window pops up showing the reference, instead of taking you to the bottom of the page. Is it possible we have that here? I think it would be better because if you just want to keep reading the page, you don't need to return to where you were and just click somewhere else outside to easily disappear the window that appears. Icy Flasher (talk) 00:40, August 1, 2015 (UTC)
- Someone else like who? Someone from this Wiki or someone from Wikia? I don't know many people around here, so I don't know who might know. Icy Flasher (talk) 17:59, August 1, 2015 (UTC)
The anime was a duplicate and I thought the trophy one didn't seem relevant. Sorry--Kyurem147 (talk) 22:47, August 3, 2015 (UTC)
Sent Edit
I've sent an email to him plus I have done a message on my talk page for you to read since you were messaging me on my talk page. Ellis99 VII & VIII 11:42, August 4, 2015 (UTC)
- He has told me that they are in Japanese magazines. Ellis99 VII & VIII 20:29, August 4, 2015 (UTC)
- Right, that's what I've been doing. Ellis99 VII & VIII 20:41, August 4, 2015 (UTC)
- Also, the chapters I've written will all, hopefully, be uploaded tomorrow too. Ellis99 VII & VIII 20:42, August 4, 2015 (UTC)
- I would go for X&Y008, for the time being, until it is released by Viz Media. Once that comes out, rename the chapter to Viz's name. Ellis99 VII & VIII 20:55, August 4, 2015 (UTC)
- Actually, seeing that Viz already named it What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes?, go with that one. Ellis99 VII & VIII 20:57, August 4, 2015 (UTC)
- My opinion is now to go with how Viz handles it. Sorry for changing my decision. Ellis99 VII & VIII 21:00, August 4, 2015 (UTC)
- The chapters don't change, even from mini-volumes to the main volumes they produce since I have the mini-volumes of Black and White Chapter. Ellis99 VII & VIII 21:18, August 4, 2015 (UTC)
- And the names of the chapters in them haven't change. Do what you feels best. Ellis99 VII & VIII 21:18, August 4, 2015 (UTC)

Police log
Asheboro man charged with meth trafficking
DURHAM – Durham police on Wednesday arrested a 32-year-old Asheboro man on methamphetamine trafficking charges.
Rafael Inzunza Lopez faces charges of trafficking and possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver methamphetamine. He was held in the Durham County Jail under $5 million bond.
"The arrest was a result of a long-term investigation," said police spokeswoman Kammie Michael.
Investigators seized about 900 grams of meth, with an estimated value of $30,000, she said.
Suspicious vehicle leads deputy to burglary arrest
DURHAM – On Sunday, a Durham County Sheriff's deputy noticed a suspicious silver 2005 Toyota Camry in the driveway of a home in the 1200 block of Goodwin Road.
After the deputy stopped to investigate, the Camry drove away. Deputies couldn't immediately find the vehicle or its driver, but they did recover a pistol that the suspect allegedly had tossed out through the car window.
That same pistol, deputies said, was reported stolen in a residential break-in earlier in the day.
The Camry was seen again about 1 p.m. on Sunday, near the scene of another break-in, this time in the 1100 block of Infinity Road. Deputies found the address where the vehicle was registered and talked to the owner, a woman who said that she had allowed a man named Joseph Raymond Hanna to borrow the car.
"The deputy who initially spotted the car on Goodwin Road confirmed Hanna was the person driving it at the time," said Deputy Paul Sherwin, spokesman for the sheriff's office.
Hanna, 25, of Omah Street in Durham was arrested at his mother's house on Wednesday on charges of breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering, injury to real property, possession of firearm by a felon, possession of a stolen firearm and several felony probation violations. He was held in the Durham County Jail under $5,070,000 bond.
In other news:
• On Saturday, about 6 p.m., someone vandalized a 2013 Dodge Charger belonging to the Durham Police Department in the 900 block of Holloway Street, causing $1,000 damage.
• On Jan. 15, someone broke into a home in the 3400 block of Glasson Street and stole an Xbox gaming console worth about $300, 30 Xbox games and a 32-inch LCD television worth about $700.
• On Jan. 17, someone broke into a 2006 Honda Accord in the 1900 block of Cornwallis Road and stole $1,500 cash, two pairs of sunglasses worth a total of $525, a suitcase and three checkbooks.
• On Jan. 14, someone broke into a vehicle outside a home in the 4200 block of Garrett Road and took a Dell laptop, three books worth a total of $300, hand tools and a 2-ton floor jack.

Reference documents R&TTE
The European Parliament and Council Directive 1999/5/EC defines the rules for the placing on the market and putting into service of Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment.
A Guide [370 KB] is available to assist with the common application of Directive 1999/5/EC. It has no weight in law but deals with a number of practical issues that will be of interest to manufacturers and other stakeholders.
The easiest route to demonstrate compliance of equipment with the Directive is to have the equipment comply with the related Harmonized Standard. For this Directive Harmonized Standards are developed mostly by ETSI. Some safety and health standards are developed by CENELEC. These standards are developed upon a request from the European Commission and they enter to force when their references are published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU).
Notified Bodies
When the manufacturer did not use Harmonized Standard, or when they do not exist, it must present its technical demonstration to a notified body, which will review it.
Equipment Classes
Equipment classes are defined by Article 4.1 of the Directive. The European Commission has adopted a Decision laying down an initial classification (Commission Decision 2000/299/EC of 6 April 2000 ).
The decision identifies two classes:
- Class 1 equipment is equipment that can be placed on the market and be put into service without restrictions as indicated in Article 1(1) of the Decision. The Commission, in consultation with Member States, publishes an indicative and non exhaustive list of equipment falling within the scope of Class 1:
Subclasses of Class 1 - December 2014
- Class 2 equipment is equipment for which Member States apply restrictions as indicated in Article 1(2) of the Decision, which also assigns the Alert Sign as Equipment Class Identifier for this class.
The following subclasses of Class 2 correspond to radio equipment using harmonised frequency bands for which, in consequence, notification in accordance with Article 6(4) of the Directive is not necessary:

Two charged in deer poachingOctober 10,2012Two charged in deer poaching
ROYALTON Two men were charged for deer poaching in Royalton recently.
Mikel Brady of Randolph and Joshua Hill of Bethel, both 23, shot at a decoy deer on Oct. 5, police said Tuesday. They face charges of taking deer in closed season, taking deer by illegal means and possession of a loaded rifle in a motor vehicle.
According to police, the gun was shot and discarded in the woods before Brady and Hill drove away. Vermont Fish and Wildlife officials tracked down Brady, Hill and a 15-year-old juvenile and searched the truck. No gun was found but Vermont Fish and Wildlife officials said that Brady called his brother to retrieve the firearm. The gun was located nearby along a road a short time later.
Brady and Hill face fines up to $1,000 per charge, 60 days in jail and a three-year suspension of licenses to hunt, fish and trap in Vermont.
