MacGregor Signs Loose Lashing Orders for Twelve Container Vessels
MacGregor, part of Cargotec, will supply loose lashings equipment for twelve 19,200 TEU container vessels under construction in South Korea for a European owner. The equipment is planned for delivery during 2016. The order was booked into first quarter 2016 order intake. The ultra-large container ships are being built at two shipyards. Six have been contracted to Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) and the remaining six are under construction at Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI). Both shipyards have experience of MacGregor's expertise and capacity to deliver cargo handling and securing systems to large container ships. In addition to the loose lashing system, MacGregor is also delivering hatch covers and fixed lashing gear to the vessels. "MacGregor is constantly working to increase the cargo system productivity of large container ships," says Tommi Keskilohko, Director, Customer Solutions at MacGregor. "Adding loose lashings from the same supplier ensures that the lashings are designed to fit the rest of the cargo system in an optimised way and will help the vessels to reach their maximum cargo efficiency, flexibility and safety," adds Mr. Keskilohko. "MacGregor has pioneered the development and delivery of lashing system solutions for large container vessels," Mr Keskilohko continues

According to a June 1 report from the Los Angeles Times, the State Lands Commission lashed out at Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's attempt to reverse its rejection of the first new oil drilling in California waters since 1969.

Brain development controlled by epigenetic factor
McGill researchers have discovered, for the first time, the importance of a key epigenetic regulator in the development of the hippocampus, a part of the brain associated with learning, memory and neural stem cells. Epigenetic regulators change the way specific genes function without altering their DNA sequence. By working with mutant mice as models, the research team, led by Prof. Xiang-Jiao Yang, of McGill's Goodman Cancer Center & Department of Medicine, McGill University Health Center, was able to link the importance of a specific epigenetic regulator known as BRPF1 to the healthy development of a region in the hippocampus called the dentate gyrus.
Finding the way to memory
Guidance proteins regulate brain plasticity February 4, 2013 - Our ability to learn and form new memories is fully dependent on the brain's ability to be plastic – that is to change and adapt according to new experiences and environments. A new study from the Montreal Neurological Institute – The Neuro, McGill University, reveals that DCC, the receptor for a crucial protein in the nervous system known as netrin, plays a key role in regulating the plasticity of nerve cell connections in the brain.

Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharistby Scott Hahn Brany Pitre
In recent years, Christians everywhere are rediscovering the Jewish roots of their faith. Every year at Easter time, many believers now celebrate Passover meals (known as Seders) seeking to understand exactly what happened at Jesus' final Passover, the night before he was crucified. Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist shines fresh light on the Last Supper by looking at it through Jewish eyes. Using his in-depth knowledge of the Bible and ancient Judaism, Dr. Brant Pitre answers questions such as: What was the Passover like at the time of Jesus? What were the Jewish hopes for the Messiah? What was Jesus' purpose in instituting the Eucharist during the feast of Passover? And, most important of all, what did Jesus mean when he said, "This is my body... This is my blood"?To answer these questions, Pitre explores ancient Jewish beliefs about the Passover of the Messiah, the miraculous Manna from heaven, and the mysterious Bread of the Presence. As he shows, these three keys--the Passover, the Manna, and the Bread of the Presence--have the power to unlock the original meaning of the Eucharistic words of Jesus. Along the way, Pitre also explains how Jesus united the Last Supper to his death on Good Friday and his Resurrection on Easter Sunday. Inspiring and informative, Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist is a groundbreaking work that is sure to illuminate one of the greatest mysteries of the Christian faith: the mystery of Jesus' presence in "the breaking of the bread."From the Hardcover edition.

Ma, He Sold Me For a Few Cigarettes gets starred review in Publishers Weekly
September 6, 2012
"Bestselling memoirist Long (Ma, I've Got Meself Locked Up in the Mad House) takes readers to 1950s Dublin, where it is nothing short of a miracle that she survived her childhood. Long chronicles her life from ages three to 11, letting the child she once was "tell the story in her own voice:" a dynamic, colorful Irish dialect. Born to a destitute teenage mother, Long endures shocking privation and abuse, particularly at the hands of her mother's lascivious long-term boyfriend, who does indeed sell her for a few cigarettes. Trapped by her circumstances, Long must care for a growing brood of siblings, and though barely educated she finds ingenious ways to provide for her family. A penny candy, a broken roller-skate, a meal from a stranger: small treasures and kindnesses, though rare, give Long the strength she needs to hope for a better future. Her tale can be repetitive, but the repetition aptly mirrors the punishing cycle of poverty.

My Favorite Way to Heat Up Tortillas
• Purchase the best tortillas you can find.
• Find a large, clean tea towel and place it on a surface near your stovetop.
• Turn each burner on the lowest setting you can that still uses the larger, outer ring.
• Place one tortilla on each burner and grab tongs if your fingers are sensitive. (I seldom use one but I'm not that sensitive to heat.)
• After about 45 seconds, check underneath the tortillas. They should be starting to char. When the color seems right, flip them and char the other side. They will usually begin to puff up at this stage.
• Adjust the burners as needed, keeping them as low as possible. The second side will take less time than the first. It's okay to flip the tortillas a few times to reach the desirable color.
• When they are done, move them to the middle of the tea towel, stacking as you go. When the first batch is piled up, flip the corners of the towel over them to cover completely. This will keep them warm and steam them a little, which softens any stiffness they may have taken on from the charring.
• Proceed with the remaining tortillas, adding to the stack as you go. Keep covered until you are done.
• Do not use oil as it will cause too much smoke. The tortillas should easily lift off the burners. I have not tried this with electric burners as I imagine that the tortillas will stick, but please let us know if you have had success with them.

Defense Health Care:
DOD Chiropractor Wage Rates
GAO-13-443R: Published: Mar 14, 2013. Publicly Released: Mar 14, 2013.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3604
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
GAO found that DOD employs 90 chiropractors at 62 military treatment facilities as of January 2013. Further, the mean salary of DOD's federal civilian chiropractors is similar to the mean salary of those serving in comparable DOD federal civilian health care occupations. Specifically, we found that the mean salaries of our selected health care professions ranged from approximately $77,000 to approximately $94,000 with the mean salary for chiropractors approximately 7 percent higher than the lowest mean salary and approximately 12 percent lower than the highest mean salary. Although these health care positions have similar education and training requirements, they have some different responsibilities.
Why GAO Did This Study
In 2000, Congress mandated that the Department of Defense (DOD) develop a plan to provide chiropractic care as a permanent part of the Defense Health Program.
Prior to the establishment of DOD's chiropractic program, Congress directed DOD to conduct demonstration projects to evaluate the feasibility and advisability of expanding DOD's health system to include chiropractic care. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1995 directed the Secretary of Defense to establish a chiropractic demonstration project at a minimum of 10 military treatment facilities for 3 years. Following the demonstration project, DOD reported that providing chiropractic care was feasible, but not fiscally practical.
In 2012, Congress directed GAO to conduct a study on the wage rates of DOD chiropractors compared with the wages of health care professionals with similar training; skill sets; licensure requirements; certification requirements; and health care responsibilities.

Thank You FCP
"Thank you FCP Euro for speedy shipping and great quality products."
Quality products
"Purchased genuine and OEM parts. Great fit and availability. Good savings compared to dealer and local vendors prices. Lifetime warranty and free shipping is a added value. This was my second order and I will continue to purchase from FCP Euro."
Easy breezy returns process!
"I got an email today from FCPeuro re: a recent order. That group of parts arrived quickly and all of the parts have been installed and are working correctly. More importantly is the ease with which I was able to return most of a previous order. FCP was even aware the part had technically been installed before I was informed my mechanic could not find a local shop to balance my driveshaft. Since the part was still basically new they accepted it anyway. Some other places may have said too bad."
Volvo Mud Flap Rivets
"Excellent web trading! Thanks!"
They keep their word!
"I recently returned a starter motor that failed, and bought a new one from FCP Euro. As they promised in their lifetime guarantee, they refunded me the full purchase price plus core charge. I will definitely get my parts here again."
Awesome service
"FCP Euro did an awesome job finding a part that was not available through my local auto parts stores. Shipping was prompt and the packaging protected the part from damage. I will definitely use them again for hard to find parts"
BMW Front turn signal, quickly, and at a reasonable price.
"The retaining tang on my 2002 BMW 330i broke one plastic tang off and had to be held in with tape. I'm still cleaning off the tape residue. The replacement I ordered from FCP Euro arrived quickly, and while the reflective surface has different fluting than the other one, the tang that broke off on the last one has a sheet metal reinforcement and was half the price that the "Bring More Wallet" dealer wanted. It's a 12 year old car and I'm absolutely sure I will look at FCP Euro's offerings when it comes to getting other parts for this good car."
with out a doubt the best
"If every company could be as good as this one life would be a better place.
The videos are good, the customer service is outstanding
They will go above and beyond to help you
Even making custom packages of parts"
Quality parts and quality service
"I recently ordered stainless steel brake hoses. After ordering them I had a change of heart and decided I wanted to return them so I promptly emailed them and got a response within an hour on how to return and get a full refund. Once I had the parts I had totally changed my mind and decided to keep the hoses. Very good quality parts and although I didn't return them the service with FCP Euro is great."
Great company!
"Excellent pricing and quality products. Shipping was fast and the parts were spot on regarding fit and oem specifications. "
Why pay retail?
"I have had nothing but positive experiences with FCP Euro. They have always kept in contact throughout and after the order process to ensure we got exactly what we needed when we needed it. I would feel comfortable recommending them to anyone needing their services."
The best source of parts for my Audi Q5
"very quick delivery to NY, good selection of parts w/ many different options and manufacturers
Great price and service!
"These guys are great found parts much cheaper plus they came in like 3 days! "
Great prices, parts selection, shipping, and service
"I'm real picky about what parts I put on my cars. FCP Euro always has what I'm looking for (I know always is a bit much to say, but so far it's been true). They normally have the best price I can find (sometimes I have to figure in shipping cost to come to the total, some other places charge way too much for shipping, which makes up for their lower advertised price), Their customer service is great. They're my first go-to when I need something."
Reliable, with very big assortment of quality products for my car!
"I can finally find everything I need on one place, with lowest prices and reliable quality. Customer service is also great. Keep up a good work!"

We have a celebrity amongst us! Austin Craig is best known for starring in the Orabrush YouTube videos, which collectively have been viewed more than 30 million times. After 8 years of pounding the pavement the Orabrush inventor decided to look for help at Brigham Young University's Marriott School of Management, and through the grapevine found Austin. Since then the team has grown Orabrush sales from almost nothing to extremely high demand in over 40 countries. Their Facebook group has over 325,000 fans and their iPhone app has been downloaded 400,000 times! The growth of Orabrush is nothing short of extraordinary, and it would not have happened without Austin Craig. And not only has he helped Orabrush, but he's also been involved with MSNBC.com and the social media group at FamilyLink.com.
Austin was nice enough to write two related posts for us. Today's is about the importance of a story for every business. Good stuff ahead…
You're an entrepreneur, or you'd like to be one. You have ideas that you know are solid gold; you just need a little time, money, and a capable team to make it a reality, and paying customers will flock to your store/site/service/product.
That's great. I really mean that. To get anything started, you first have to dream a little about what could be. It could take off. It could be a huge hit. The most successful companies in the world are founded and helmed by people who have faith in themselves and vision for their enterprise. Hang on to that faith and those visions; you'll need them when things get hard. They will.
Let's assume you've already taken care of the first steps. You have lots of ideas, but you chose one that's right for you right now. You validated the idea with real world feedback from potential customers to prove they'd actually pay for it. You've pivoted the idea as necessary. You've focused on the minimum viable product, and you've crunched the numbers to make sure your bottom line is where you need it.
Looks like you've got everything in order, and you're ready for customers to come flooding in.
But here's the thing. Nobody knows about you, and nobody cares about you. If they don't know about you, they won't come. If they don't care about you, they won't come back.
There are all kinds of tricks and tools you've probably heard that could get your name out there, but let's focus on one core principle that will work for you regardless of industry or scale.
Story Time
I work with a company called Orabrush. We have something of an interesting backstory, shown in the video below.
Our company story has been a huge asset. People identify with the story. Who doesn't love a rags to riches underdog tale? It's gotten us major media coverage from radio, televison, newspapers, blogs, and countless mentions in social media. For those who haven't heard of us before, the story is a fantastic introduction to Orabrush. And when they remember the story, they'll remember us.
Stories are the best teaching format imaginable. How often do you remember long sequences of facts and figures? I only do when I'm forced to. But can you quote extensively from your favorite movie? Or sing along to some of your favorite songs?
As a business trying to sell something or as a marketer, a good story can be invaluable to you. Tell stories. Tell your story as a company, and don't think you don't have one. Everybody has a story. Whether it's overnight success (unlikely) or years of struggle (more likely), you have done things or things have happened to you that don't happen to everybody. And if you really don't have any kind of story, make one.
All The Way To Ellen
My sister Katie and her husband Ben started a small baby products company called Puj. For years they worked nights and weekends while Ben maintained a day job and Katie stayed at home to raise their three sons. The work paid off. They got into more stores. Online sales increased. They hired a public relations firm to get their name out there. And an amazing thing happened. They were invited to show off one of their products, a baby boot, on the Ellen Degeneres show. The exposure from a top rated daytime talk show is enormous, especially for a small boutique like Puj.
But they had some obstacles to get over. The shipping time from their manufacturer wouldn't allow them to get their normal product to the filming on time. To make matters more complicated, Ellen understandably wanted the product to be leather free, as she is known for her animal friendly values.
Katie and Ben had to figure out how to make their product without their regular manufacturers' help, from materials they didn't usually use. If they could pull it off, millions would see their product endorsed from an A-list celebrity that the country already knows and loves. If they couldn't figure it out, they got nothing.
With no other option, they set out to make the product locally, with locally sourced materials so they could get it made right and right now. Katie, with an ill son in arm, went to fabric stores across Portland where they live, searching for the right synthetic material to make the boot. It was miss after miss. No stores carried anything close. There was one small shop left on the other side of town. She was about to give up and go home with her woozy toddler, but called the shop instead. A gruff Russian merchant on the other end of the line assured her in a thick accent that they did in fact have the material she needed. Katie was dubious. Maybe he didn't understand what she was asking for? Why would this small shop have it when nobody else did? But she took the chance and drove out there. There was a single small roll of the material left.
I could go on with this story. It involves finding a local shop that would work through the night to manufacture the boots, then an order mixup with only half as many boots made as were needed, a rush run produced to have all the boots done for the show, and a flight to Los Angeles with a suitcase full of tiny baby boots.
Katie showed up just before filming started. Their online shop was immediately slammed with orders as soon as the boot hit the air. Their servers crashed. They sold out months in advance.
Stories Make Us Remember
Heck of a story, huh? I probably got some of the facts wrong, but it doesn't matter. You'll remember the mental image of a mom with her sick little boy traipsing around town trying to find the right material. You can probably hear in your head a gruff Russian accent telling her they have the right fabric. That story is an asset to them. That story tells not only what they do, but who they are. With a good story, people remember who you are.
Tell stories. Tell stories even if they aren't yours. Tell funny stories in your ads. Tell relatable stories. Tell fantastic stories. Just tell stories. You can't ask for a better introduction to new customers. And if you tell the stories well, if it's a story worth hearing, they'll remember you. And they'll want to know you (and your business) better.

Cloud computing isn't just re-inventing technology, it will also drive evolution of the business practices that the technology is used for.
For example CRM: Customer Relationship Management.
This is a science that started as simple contact management apps, like ACT!, through Goldmine then of course Salesforce.com.
After their ASP (Application Service Provider) phase of the Cloud evolution we've since had the social media explosion and so the principle category to add is "social media CRM". After that came Cloud and so we're now at a phase best described as Cloud 2.0.
This is most powerfully demonstrated by the public sector, where CRM is about 'citizen engagement' and where the core expression of the model can be referenced through 'CORE' design, standing for Community Oriented Re-Engineering.
In short this reflects the simple point that online is about communities, and how you re-engineer your business processes to harness this principle is the fundamental nature of this CORE design and therefore how it can be used to implement a Cloud 2.0 strategy.
I have been so excited about the recent Canada Health Infoway publication because they also reference the term Cloud 2.0, this design principle and most importantly, map it to possible action areas for the Canadian eHealth sector:
5.2.4 Support for Social Networking and Consumer Enablement
Cloud-based implementations provide a flexible and readily scalable method for supporting the integration of social networking into e-health service delivery patterns and enabling consumers of health services to become active participants in their care.
This could include participating in communities of people with the same condition, becoming part of their own virtual care team, or simply allowing people to participate in the scheduling of their own appointments or review of results.
Traditional CRM is based on a one to many relationship, how the organization interacts with its many customers.
The Cloud 2.0 model is one of many to many, where the organization is still the central foundation but based upon this an essential part of the value for customers is their interaction with other customers.
Cloud 2.0 is about a shift to Crowdsourcing models, aka 'Peer 2 Peer' amongst others. In short it's about the fact that one of the most useful relationships for a new cancer patient is not only a specialist doctor but also other patients.
Providing tools to enable these communities to form and function, like online social media, videoconferencing et al, is therefore the additional apps that flesh out the new Cloud 2.0 approach.

Fifty billion connected devices and still no winning protocols standards. HTTP, WebSockets, MQTT, and CoAP seem to be leading in the IoT protocol race at the moment but many more protocols are getting introduced on a regular basis. Each protocol has its pros and cons depending on the nature of the communications. Does there really need to be only one protocol to rule them all? Of course not. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Chris Matthieu, co-founder and CTO of Octoblu, walk you through how Oct...

Web Real-Time Communication APIs have quickly revolutionized what browsers are capable of. In addition to video and audio streams, we can now bi-directionally send arbitrary data over WebRTC's PeerConnection Data Channels. With the advent of Progressive Web Apps and new hardware APIs such as WebBluetooh and WebUSB, we can finally enable users to stitch together the Internet of Things directly from their browsers while communicating privately and securely in a decentralized way.

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of (at least) three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the back-end service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target –...

|Reviews for Lonely At the Top
| Bluedog270 chapter 1 . 8/2
I love the thought put into this. You got an idea, you wrote it, and you nailed it. All the thought put into this made it an amazing story. Each explanation on each main ship for the show throughout the years made sense and nothing seemed rushed.
Everything about this story was great and you're a great writer too. :)
| Swordsman4 chapter 1 . 6/8
Darn good one-shot here, Ash being the anime Red is great and one of my favorite genres in the fanfiction community. I really loved the interaction between Ash and Gold, with Ash instructing Gold not to go down the same path as he did. It also truly sums up the life lesson of balancing one's work with their friends/family because ultimately your friends and family are more important. Great job!
| Random Reader Guy chapter 1 . 1/6
Amazing. Just absolutely amazing. One of, or the best Ash fics/oneshots I have ever read, maybe even Pokemon fics/oneshots.
| Barcha chapter 1 . 7/9/2015
Wow its so different form the anime's tone bit at the same time so plausible bravo now excuse me I news to clean my eyes
| aquahaloninja chapter 1 . 6/29/2015
That was amazing. The best story I've read on this site. Probably the best story I've read in a while. Great job.
| StormzD95 chapter 1 . 2/22/2015
Just a thought, would you consider writing any spin-offs about Ash meeting everyone else?
| Ashmn142 chapter 1 . 10/5/2014
Impressive psychology at the end there, couldnt have put it better myself. Its good to try and get into the minds of the producers, it gives you a better understanding on how to write fanfictions. Good job.
| Big chapter 1 . 7/27/2014
| Jukezorz chapter 1 . 7/14/2014
That was a great piece of work.
It was heartbreaking to read, but I'm glad there was something of a happy ending. Hopefully things will go better for Ash after that.
It kind of hit me hard, too, since I'm writing a fanfic on Ash going to myself. Lucky for him, though, he'll end up having someone around to ground him in reality. Still, it's definitely something to consider.
Good job!
| mystery chapter 1 . 6/30/2014
That was sad
| Warrior of the Sea chapter 1 . 6/21/2014
There is only one way to describe this story: Beautiful.
Seriously, there's no other way to describe something as perfect as this. This was extremely faithful to each character, the way everyone reacted after practically losing Ash and Ash's own guilt and despair at having completely isolated himself in a vacuum. While most stories try to play off the 'betrayal' cliché to get Ash on top of Mt. Silver, you showed us how Ash, in the pursuit of protecting his loved ones from himself, would turn himself into a hermit. I remember feeling my eyes sting at some parts, especially the one where the crazy fan broke in and challenged Ash in his old outfits. I dunno what it was, but something really got to me in that part. The parts in which Ash actually went and looked back at the times he tried to reconnect with his companions but left them to not be a burden on them was also beautifully done. There was something about the battle with Gold, too. The way Ash tried to save him from the fate of ending up as an outcast was nicely done. I was slightly surprised that Ash barely won against him, but the fact that Ash's extra experience actually meant something and that he beat Gold was nice. I just hate seeing Ash lose.
Well, good job with this story. I hope you come out with some more good material soon!
Ash the Aura Guardian
| MrJohnJets124 chapter 1 . 6/13/2014
Barry would have worked for Dawn.
But awesome story anyway.
| Ninjago1019 chapter 1 . 6/10/2014
This was amazing! To me it was probably one of the best fanfiction stories ever! It made me rethink a few things in my life! And as you read this in the future, I hope it made you smile a little! :)
| DreamDusk chapter 1 . 1/17/2014
Wow...This feels
| hydro-serpent58 chapter 1 . 1/2/2014
Dude, I never even stopped to THINK about Delia! D: Of course news reporters would hound her! Being the mother of the Pokemon Master, Ash would've never saw this coming. Disrupting the peaceful days with Mr. Mime.
And of course, being a target. Ironically, people tend to forget fame is a double-edged sword. In the anime they make it seem awesome because its all praise and compliments, but in real life the paparazzi kills you. Always in public eye, any misstep and the whole world knows, having the media blow it out of proportion. - This is actually a very PLAUSIBLE idea for leaving Delia. As sad as it is, by staying away from Pallet Town she won't be disturbed as much and Ash could avoid the news media. (Makes you miss the good old days in G/S/C when all you had was the newspaper. No TV.) It would protect both of them. Not to mention, his friends in case the media decides to hound on them for being associates of his, or targeted by criminal organizations for being friends with him.
Criminal organizations. They'd know what to look out for now, wouldn't they? Wouldn't be caught of by a kid now that his face made the news.
And the friends. Whoever said: 'distance makes the heart grow fonder' needs their head checked. Distance is good and all, but it's the INTERACTION. My friend lives in another country, we always talk through IM. We're close. However, take away that connection, and we're strangers. We're not as close as we once were, if not at all. Same thing applies here. (BTW, what about Gary? What did he have to say?) And the Misty/Tracey bit? It would TOTALLY happen with Ash's absence. (Discounting Daisy) Those two have so much chemistry, where Misty would argue with Ash like spitfire Tracy would take it and try to calm her down. Two different personalities, but work well. But depending on how you look at it, one could say Tracey was the better choice for Misty.
And FINALLY cracking down on his lack of romance. It's not his fault, (on contrary, its totally the creators. No person could be that dense after traveling with multiple girls, each with their own separate personality) But still, I can imagine it must be painful looking back and realizing what could have been, especially since it happened MULTIPLE times.
"Maybe I just hope that. Hope that maybe running off like I did brought some good to other people." That made me sad and proud of him at the same time. He brought Misty and Tracey together (THANK GOODNESS IT'S TRACEY AND NOT RUDY), Clian and Iris together, May and Drew together (although in terms of chemistry, Ash would've been the better choice since they meshed well. However, if Drew got his act together then it would totally work out. It was hinted early on he had a thing for May anyway.), Dawn and Paul...that is one ship, I will NEVER understand. If anything, PaulxAsh makes more sense than DawnxPaul. O_O And I love how you nailed it, your reasoning is flawless. Although I'm not a Pearlshipper, this ending made SENSE.)
"A pang of sadness struck Ash, as he realized how much he missed his mother, and how much he wished he had known his father." - Right. In. The. Feels. T_T No one mentions the father, it's rather depressing.
"Free from obsessed challengers." ...Couldn't he just have his pokemon use hypnosis, sing, grass whistle, sleep power, on them? Then again, that's only something Team Snagem would do.
I wonder how the Pokemon feel, secluded up there. With being a Champion comes responsibilities right? If he stays on Mt. Silver, he can't be Champion anymore because Champions have to get involved, and stay in the public's eye. (Could explain why the Elite 4 didn't work as a barrier for preventing obsessive challenges)
"Gold. They call me Gold. What a dumb name." That made me laugh so much. xD Imagine, what the Red from the games must've thought if manga!Gold introduced himself that way. :P I love, how Ash passes on his knowledge to the younger generation. Seeing someone else go through the same thing leaves an impression on people. Both scorn of (i experienced it, let him as well!) and pity(i don't want him to go through the same thing i did)
In all, I love how much thought you put into this. It's sad you have over 70 favorites and only 19 reviews. :( People need to comment more! This is amazing! Especially how you used Ash as the anime version of Red. Gold being Gold(manga) or Ethan(game). I always wondered what Red was doing up there, all alone on Mt. Silver, and Blue's personality interested me as well. He was no longer the "Smell ya later!" kid. He changed.
At any rate, thank you for giving a realistic view on what achieving his dream would lead to. It almost makes it seem, like the creators keep extending the series with new regions so something like this would never happen.

Now that the Conservatives have finished their conference in Blackpool, it is time to look at some of the issues they chose to focus on.
I am not going to talk about tax, immigration or pseudo-ecological policies. They are simply not of interest to me. Nor does the level of immigration bother me, nor my level of income tax or inheritance tax (present or future). I am and always have been interested in family - my family, your family, the whole concept of family and how politicians and commentators use it as some kind of benchmark.
According to much of the right-leaning press and some Conservatives, the family unit is doomed. The permissive society of the 1960s may have led to freedoms and more equality but they think the side effects include a decline in the family and a decline in family values. Is this actually true?
Though each day brings sad news of some family tragedy - missing children, murdered children, or a rise in childhood obesity - surely these things are not the mainstream? Tragedy and bad examples of family life have always been with us. My grandparents and great aunts tell stories of poverty and struggling families and infidelity that dates back to the first world war; the only difference then was the range and speed of media coverage and debate.
I wanted to write this commentary because of my position, which isn't unique but isn't common either. I am a gay man, totally integrated into my family unit, my parents, siblings, nieces and nephews and aunts and uncles. I fit. I may be part of the problem according to some right-wing and religious commentators, but I feel that I am part of the cure or rather, I am part of the reality that works very well.
My social and family sphere includes two married friends (one child, wife stays at home, father works) and two unmarried friends (two children, wife stays at home, father works). My two siblings have one child each, they both work part-time, and both their husbands work full-time. To their kids, I am either a real uncle or the friend-uncle available for both babysitting and a social outlet for them to re-live their younger days when they were child-free and could go out and party. It all works and we all perceive it as normal - in fact, until we read scare stories, we don't think about it at all. It is clear that most people still formi families, even if they aren't the utopian, 2.2 children, home in the suburbs examples from the 1950s that we are expected to imitate.
As for a decline in family values, is that true? I see family-values as fluid, adapting to times and situations that are thrown in their path. Can anyone actually state what a family value is? Can they be listed in a manifesto?
