A Southern Colorado community is being hit hard by a rash of armed robberies. And they've all happened since the start of the new year.
Pueblo police say they've had 12 armed robberies in just the first 10 days of 2013, including two that happened Thursday night.
Now police are asking for your help identifying the suspects.
They've posted surveillance pictures of the suspects on their Facebook page, in hopes that someone will recognize one of the suspects: Click here to see.
The suspects' heights in the photos range from 5-foot-10 to 6 feet, weight between 150-170 pounds. The suspect leaves the scene on foot.
It is a rise in crime that is rattling members of the community.
"It worries me to really go anywhere anymore," said Catherine Martinez, who was born and raised in Pueblo.
11 News talked to one of the victims of an armed robbery, who says she is still shaken up.
"I see him, with the gun," said Elaine Mascarenas.
It's been over a week, but Mascarenas is still haunted by the memories of a terrifying experience at her job.
"When I talk about it, it hurts," she said.
Mascarenas was robbed at gunpoint at the Smoker Friendly off Pueblo Boulevard on January 2.
"He held the gun and said 'Hurry up, hurry, I want the money.' I said 'Okay.' I walked to the register and gave him the money," said Mascarenas. "When he walked out, he says, 'If you come by the door, I'm gonna shoot you.'"
Pueblo police are now asking for all of our help, because this was just one of 12 armed robberies they've had in Pueblo since the ringing in of the New Year.
Four were personal robberies, the rest businesses.
Detectives believe the same suspect that robbed the Smoker Friendly is connected to at least three of the robberies, including: Pueblo Records and Tapes back on December 30 and Adolfo's Mexican Restaurant January 1. The Smoker Friendly was hit the next day.
In one case he used a machete to get cash from the clerk. He also fired a shot inside the Mexican restaurant before he took off with the entire cash register.
If you know anything about these robberies call Pueblo Crime Stoppers at 542-STOP(7867) or visit: www.pueblocrimestoppers.com

text: Henrik Freischlader (born November 3, 1982) is a German blues guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer, and autodidactic multi-instrumentalist from Wuppertal, Germany. During his teenage years, he started his career as a blues guitarist and singer in bands such as Lash and Bluescream. In 2004, he formed the Henrik Freischlader Band and released his first album "The Blues" in 2006. The follow-up album "Get Closer" was released a year later in 2007. A live album then followed in 2008 entitled "Henrik Freischlader Band Live". Henrik Freischlader's style of music cannot only be considered blues. He often blends in musical styles such as rock, jazz, soul, and funk, even though blues is the basis of all of his songs. His guitar-playing is influenced by Gary Moore, Stevie Ray Vaughan, B.B. King, Peter Green, Albert Collins, and Albert King. Growing up, Freischlader taught himself how to play the drums, the bass guitar, the guitar, and various other instruments. On his studio album "Recorded by Martin Meinsch├ñfer" (2009) he plays all instruments - guitars, bass guitar, drums, percussion, and hammond organ. In addition to this, he composed the songs, wrote the lyrics, produced the record, and released it on his own record label Cable Car Records. A second live album - "Tour 2010 Live" - was published in late 2010 after an extensive tour through Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Henrik Freischlader has played with his band throughout Europe. Current band members are Theofilos Fotiadis (bass guitar, backing vocals), Bj├Ârn Kr├╝ger (drums, backing vocals), and Moritz "Mr. Mo" Fuhrhop (hammond organ). They are currently on tour with Freischlader's latest studio album "Still Frame Replay" (2011), on which he, again, plays most of the instruments. Moritz Fuhrhop (hammond organ) and Max Klaas (percussion) joined him in the studio for "Still Frame Replay". As special guest, his friend Joe Bonamassa plays the solo guitar on the title track.

Vulcan mind meld
this wiki
(covers information from several alternate timelines)
"Vulcan mind melds: utter foolishness. Anybody with an ounce of sense wouldn't share his brain with someone else; would you? I certainly wouldn't."
The Vulcan mind meld was a telepathic link between two individuals, allowing for the exchange of thoughts, thus in essence allowing the participants to become one mind. (TNG: "Sarek") It was a psionic technique for "synaptic pattern displacement". Normally it was employed only by Vulcans. It was a deeply personal thing, part of the private life, and generally not used on aliens, although cases were known where the mind meld was initiated between a Vulcan and a non-Vulcan. (VOY: "Meld", TNG: "Sarek") Those in a meld shared consciousness in a kind of gestalt. (DS9: "The Passenger")
Physical contact was required. The initiator placed the tips of his fingers at key locations on the head of the other participant. This allowed him to place pressure on key nerves and blood vessels to facilitate the link.
The fact that most Vulcans who performed the meld touch the other participant in different manners, reciting varying formulas, implies that it was only ritual behavior, helping to concentrate on the task, leaving mere physical contact being the ultimate prerequisite to initiate the meld. If successful, the link resulted in a merging of both minds, essentially creating a single consciousness in two bodies.
It is noteworthy that the meld could also be used by its initiator to probe another person's mind, while the melder him/herself shielded his/her mind from being read by the other participant, resulting in a rather one-sided psionic contact. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) Only the subject in physical contact with the initiator participated in the meld; others in the vicinity are not affected.
Some species are immune to Vulcan mind meld and can resist it, shielding their mind from the attempted probing, including Cardassians, who can achieve this thanks to their intense mental training since childhood. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part II")
A mind meld could even be used to transfer the entire personality or "soul" (known to Vulcans as the katra) of an individual into another body. A special, appropriately prepared receptacle, such as a katric ark could also be used. Though Vulcans (and Trill, through the zhian'tara ritual) did this psionically, a number of people and races were able to duplicate this feat with technology, such as the people of Sargon's planet, Janice Lester, Dr. Ira Graves, Rao Vantika, and Tieran. (TOS: "Return to Tomorrow", "Turnabout Intruder"; Star Trek III: The Search for Spock; TNG: "The Schizoid Man"; VOY: "Warlord"; DS9: "The Passenger", "Facets")
Melding carried some risk. It could be physically debilitating for both parties. The pressure changes could potentially aggravate existing conditions. The melding resulted in some loss of identity, and could be difficult to break, especially when the subject's mind was powerful or dynamic. Aftereffects could be treated with the drug lexorin. (TOS: "Dagger of the Mind", "The Devil in the Dark"; VOY: "Ex Post Facto", "Meld", "Flashback"; Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
At the conclusion of the meld, each mind retained some knowledge of the other.
It was possible to force a mind meld on an unwilling subject, but most Vulcans would be loath to do so, unless under the most dire circumstances. An exception may be the Vulcans of the mirror universe, whose ethical constraints, shaped by the savagery of their environment, were far different. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country; ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly")
During the 22nd century, mind melding was believed to be an ability only a minority of Vulcans were born to. Because of the apparent intimacy of melding, Vulcans during this era considered it a deviant practice defiant to the ancestral teachings of their society. As a result, other Vulcans considered those who were natural "melders" to be outcasts. (ENT: "Stigma")
An improperly trained melder who initiated a mind meld can cause a degenerative neurological disorder known as Pa'nar Syndrome to develop in the meld recipient. If left untreated, the disorder is fatal. Vulcan medicine of the mid-22nd century believed that there was no cure; however, the disorder was known in Surak's time, as was its cure: a corrective meld performed by an experienced melder. It is likely that the ignorance of this cure was due to the widespread prejudice against melders, a prejudice that was not shared by the Syrrannite group. (ENT: "Fusion", "Stigma", "Kir'Shara")
Another side-effect is the transfer of emotion. When Spock Prime melded with the James Kirk of the alternate reality, both seemed emotionaly affected by the experience and Spock Prime apologized, explaining that emotional transference is a side-effect of the melding process. (Star Trek)
Notable uses
In 2151, the v'tosh ka'tur Tolaris initiated a mind meld with Subcommander T'Pol against her will. Since Tolaris had not been properly trained in the use of his mental abilities, this meld caused T'Pol to develop Pa'nar Syndrome. (ENT: "Fusion", "Stigma")
In 2154, Vulcan Ambassador Soval, defying the taboo of his day, melded with a comatose Corporal Askwith to learn who bombed the United Earth Embassy on Vulcan, deciding it was worth the risk upon discovering that the evidence implicating the Syrranites was fabricated. For this offense, Administrator V'Las (who was actually behind the bombing) relieved Soval of his post. (ENT: "The Forge")
Shortly afterward, T'Pol's Pa'nar Syndrome was cured by the Syrrannite T'Pau. (ENT: "Kir'Shara")
In November of 2154, T'Pol initiated her first mind meld on the starship Enterprise NX-01. In an attempt to ultimately discover the location of Doctor Phlox, T'Pol melded with Ensign Hoshi Sato. (ENT: "Affliction")
In January of 2155 of the mirror universe, T'Pol, via a mind meld, implanted a telepathic "suggestion" into the mind of Commander Charles Tucker. Under this influence, Tucker sabotaged the power grid of the ISS Enterprise in order to disable a Suliban cloaking device. After doing this, T'Pol melded with Tucker again, erasing his memories of his actions. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly")
In an alternate reality, future Spock melded with young Kirk in 2258 to explain how he and Nero came from the future. Furthermore, Spock mind-melded with a Romulan to find out where Captain Pike was being held. (Star Trek)
In the alternate reality, Spock melded with Christopher Pike in 2259 during his death, caused by Khan. Later that year, Spock also melded with Khan during a fight, in an attempt to stop him. (Star Trek Into Darkness)
In 2266, on stardate 2715, Spock melded with Simon Van Gelder, then suffering from generalized synaptic damage, to learn whether Van Gelder's allegations about Tristan Adams were true, or delusions. Spock warned Van Gelder that the pressure changes could be dangerous. (TOS: "Dagger of the Mind")
In 2267, Spock unsuccessfully tried to reach McCoy's mind when he was under the control of the computer Landru on planet Beta III. (TOS: "The Return of the Archons")
The same year, on stardate 3192, Spock used what might have been a variation on a mind meld to convince a guard on Eminiar VII to open the door to the room where the landing party was imprisoned, facilitating their escape. (TOS: "A Taste of Armageddon")
On stardate 3196, Spock not only melded with a silicon-based lifeform, the mother Horta, but managed to do so without even touching it at first. (TOS: "The Devil in the Dark")
In that same year, Spock melded with Nomad to learn its origin. (TOS: "The Changeling")
Also in 2267, McCoy became the victim of an unwilling mind meld, when the mirror universe Spock forced information from him about the nature of the transporter accident that brought four USS Enterprise officers to the mirror universe. (TOS: "Mirror, Mirror")
On stardate 4657.5, Spock attempted a meld with Kelinda, a Kelvan, through a few feet of solid rock. Although the attempt was thwarted by Kelinda with prejudice, Spock was able to get an impression of the Kelvan's true non-humanoid form. (TOS: "By Any Other Name")
In 2268, on stardate 4385.3, Spock melded with Kirk, McCoy and Scott to ensure they believed the bullets fired at them from Virgil Earp, Morgan Earp, Wyatt Earp, and Doc Holliday (at the OK Corral) were unreal and, therefore, unable to harm them. (TOS: "Spectre of the Gun")
The same year, Spock melded with Kirk, who was suffering from retrograde amnesia, consequential to the misuse of a Preserver artifact. Although Spock had some difficulty emerging from this meld, he was able to successfully restore Kirk's memory. (TOS: "The Paradise Syndrome")
Later in 2268, Spock was driven mad by the sight of Ambassador Kollos. Miranda Jones, a Human telepath trained on Vulcan, used a meld to restore his sanity by making him forget what he'd seen. (TOS: "Is There in Truth No Beauty?")
In 2269, Spock melded with a sleeping Kirk, whispering a single word, "forget", to help Kirk forget his love for the female android Rayna Kapec. (TOS: "Requiem for Methuselah")
Also in 2269, Spock utilized a mind meld to verify the claim that Kirk's consciousness was trapped in the body of Janice Lester. (TOS: "Turnabout Intruder")
In 2273, when the Enterprise was inside V'Ger, Commander Spock entered a section of V'Ger where it stored 3D images of objects that it encountered through its travels. He entered this area via thruster suit and subsequently encountered a large representation of Lieutenant Ilia with a pulsing sensor on her neck. Believing it to have some special meaning, he used a mind meld on it. Spock was overwhelmed by the information from the mind meld, and was flung back unconscious towards the Enterprise. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)
In 2285, Spock used a mind meld to transfer his katra to McCoy before sacrificing himself to restore warp power during the Battle of the Mutara Nebula. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) Upon the Enterprise's return to Earth, Sarek mind-melded with Kirk to discover the fate of Spock's katra. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
After time-traveling to 1986, Spock mind melded with the humpback whales George and Gracie to inform them of the crew's plan to bring the whales back with them to the year 2286 to answer a mysterious probe that threatened Earth, reasoning that they had to confirm that the whales were willing to help them or they would be no better than those who made the whales extinct in the first place. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
In 2293, Spock used a mind meld to force information about the Khitomer conspiracy from Lieutenant Valeris. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
In 2366, in order to assuage his nascent Bendii Syndrome, Sarek entered into a mind meld with Captain Jean-Luc Picard at the behest of Dr. Beverly Crusher. (TNG: "Sarek")
In 2368, Spock entered into a mind meld with Captain Picard to touch the thoughts that Sarek had left before he died, Sarek and Spock having never melded. (TNG: "Unification II")
In 2370, Sakonna, a Vulcan member of the Maquis, attempted a mind meld on Gul Dukat in an attempt to learn the location of illegal Cardassian weapons in the Demilitarized Zone. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part II")
In 2371, Tuvok melded with crewmate Lieutenant Tom Paris after Paris was accused of the murder of Banean scientist Doctor Tolen Ren. The meld allowed him to prove that Paris had been framed in an elaborate plot to provide the Banean's enemies, the Numiri, with critical information, when his analysis of the implanted memory revealed crucial anomalies that proved Paris couldn't have committed the murder. (VOY: "Ex Post Facto")
In 2372, Tuvok melded with the sociopath Betazoid Lon Suder in an attempt to gain a better understanding of Suder's violent impulses. While the meld provided Suder with a measure of emotional control, it also temporarily released Tuvok's more violent and primal urges. (VOY: "Meld")
In 2373, Tuvok melded with his close friend Kathryn Janeway to discover the root of a supposed memory he had of a girl falling to her death from a precipice. It was later discovered that Tuvok had a memory virus in his brain unwittingly transmitted to him in 2293 by Dmitri Valtane. The virus was destroyed with thoron radiation. (VOY: "Flashback")
In 2374, Tuvok attempted to perform a mind meld with Kes in order to give her stability when her mental powers began to grow out of control. (VOY: "The Gift")
Later that year, he melded with an alien named Guill in an investigation to prove B'Elanna Torres' innocence. Guill was from a society where violent thoughts were illegal. Guill was a collector and trader of such thoughts. Tuvok proceeded with the meld under the pretense that only images would be exchanged, but he also grabbed and choked Guill in the meld to get him to submit. (VOY: "Random Thoughts")
In 2375, Tuvok melded with Seven of Nine and, indirectly, with a Borg vinculum, to free her from a multiple personality disorder induced by the vinculum. (VOY: "Infinite Regress")
In 2377, Tuvok performed an extended technique of the mind meld, the "Bridging of Minds", on Captain Janeway and Seven of Nine, forming a bond between the two individuals, who were otherwise unable to telepathically link. (VOY: "Unimatrix Zero")
Although not a mind meld as such, in 2379, the Reman Viceroy enabled Praetor Shinzon to telepathically "rape" counselor Deanna Troi. (Star Trek Nemesis)
In the novelization of The Undiscovered Country featured a slightly different take on the forced mindmeld between Spock and Valeris. As Spock probed her mind, he stopped just short of breaking her will and gave her the choice to willingly help him. The choked sobs by Valeris was her gratitude and grief at being given the choice.
In the novel Memory Prime, the mind meld was used as a form of combat between Spock and a Romulan assassin.
In the William Shatner novel The Return, Spock performed a meld with Picard and Kirk in an attempt to free Kirk from the brainwashing program that had been implanted in him by the Borg/Romulan Alliance; at the time, Spock said that such a thing had never been done, but it is possible that the Bridging wasn't well-known among Vulcans.

Chama Cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (Chadema) has cautioned President Jakaya Kikwete to avoid simply reshuffling the cabinet but rather appoint fresh ministers.
Chadema Publicity Director John Mnyika made the remarks in Dar es Salaam yesterday when briefing reporters on the 16 resolutions reached by the party during its central committee meeting held over the weekend.
He said in 2008 when President Kikwete dissolved the cabinet after the resignation of Prime Minister Edward Lowassa, he ended up forming a cabinet with the old faces.
"We want him to appoint fresh ministers who will work to meet the expectations of Tanzanians. So, we don't expect the president to make only a reshuffle," he noted.
Mnyika, who is also Ubungo constituency legislator, urged the president to fire the ministers implicated in dubious deals and take legal measures against them. He noted that the cabinet would never end current corruption problems since its root causes were Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM).
He explained that, Chadema had also called on private and independent investigative organisations to investigate into ongoing killings of Chadema cadres in different parts of the country.
"We want independent investigations because there are some incidences, where state organs are involved. The police can never investigate themselves," he argued.
Elaborating further, Mnyika said Chadema cadres had been frequently assaulted and killed in separated incidences including sad incidents in Mwanza, Mbeya, Mtwara (Tandahimba), Ruvuma and recently in Arusha.
He said they also agreed on the election timetable within the party expected to start in June this year to October next year.
He said they had prepared a strategy that would prevent corruption practices during party elections.
Chadema also blamed the ruling party for failing to solve social conflicts especially widespread land disputes.

Dr. Hal R. Ramer, founding president of the College, remembered
Submitted on February 15, 2010 at 3:20 PM
Hal R. Ramer, founding president of Volunteer State Community College, died this weekend at the age of 86. Dr. Ramer served the College for 32 years, from his appointment as president on July 1, 1970, until his retirement on January 31, 2003. He is remembered as an innovative leader in higher education, an energetic and involved member of the community, and a friend to many.
"Dr. Ramer was always a devoted advocate for Vol State and our students, and was a personal friend and confidant to me," said Vol State President Dr. Warren Nichols. "Even after his retirement from the College, Dr. Ramer invested his time, energy, and resources to ensure that the college he loved continued to serve the needs of our students and our community."
"Hal Ramer had been with the Tennessee Board of Regents since our very beginning and was the longest-serving president in the history of the system," said Tennessee Board of Regents Chancellor Charles Manning. "After his retirement, he remained a willing and wise advisor. His lifelong commitment to education served the people of Tennessee well, and all those who have attended a TBR community college owe him a debt of gratitude."
Dr. Ramer, as assistant state commissioner for higher education, was closely involved in plans to build a new community college in Gallatin. The promotion of the idea was the cooperative work of many civic leaders and citizens of Sumner County, as well as state officials. The first classes began in October of 1971 in churches, secondary schools and a National Guard Armory. The administration of the college was initially operated out of buildings in downtown Gallatin, including a dusty, old hotel.
From those humble beginnings Dr. Ramer led Vol State to become a full-service higher education institution offering 70 programs with an enrollment of more than 8,000 students a semester. The main campus now comprises 16 buildings, and the Vol State at Livingston campus has added a new building and classrooms. From its 1971 inception more than 100,000 persons have attended the College.
Dr. Ramer continued his dedicated service to Vol State after retirement, through close work with the College Foundation. The Hal R. Ramer Society honors the generous donors who make student scholarships and college advancement possible. Dr. Ramer continued to stay in touch with the life of the college, attending events and visiting friends. The Ramer Oratorical Contest is held each year to showcase students who excel in speech and communication.
Dr. Ramer was a native of Kenton, Tennessee, born on June 8, 1923. He was a graduate of George Peabody College (B.S., 1947) and the University of Tennessee (M.S.S.W., 1952). He received his Ph.D. degree in 1963 in higher education administration from The Ohio State University. He served there for ten years, 1953-1963, in the positions of staff assistant to the president, assistant dean of men, and director of the George Wells Knight International Center. He helped organize and was active in The Ohio State University Alumni Club of Middle Tennessee.

The Old School Hall is a building in Chinatown, Portland Island, Liberty City, next to the entrance to Callahan Bridge. It is one of the destinations for Taxi Driver side missions. During the mission The Fuzz Ball, a police ball is held there, and Claude is instructed by Luigi Goterelli to deliver his prostitutes to the ball.
Original School
The Old School Hall was originally supposed to be a real school in the game, complete with children and School Buses around the area. However, these were all removed from the game; this is believed to be due to the concern of killing children in the game.
The Beta images show that it had bright walls and plants around it; similar to an elementary school or pre-school. Since the beta it was changed to a ballroom.

The coolest part of comic books is the fact that they always have such interesting villains, like The Joker. Heath Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight is what took that movie to the next level. If you think you can do a good impression, then the Adult The Joker Grand Heritage Costume is perfect for you. This costume features a long purple jacket, a gray shirt, a green vest, as brown tie with yellow diamond design on it, purple pinstripe pants, purple gloves, and a wig and makeup kit. The Joker's makeup is an important part of his character, so make sure you get this part right so you can really look the part. This is the perfect costume for die hard Batman fans, as it is the most authentic Joker costume out there.

Small Council
this wiki
- Varys: "His Grace has many cares: he entrusts some small matters to us, that we might lighten the load."
- Petyr Baelish: "We are the lords of small matters here."
- — Varys and Petyr Baelish to Eddard Stark[src]
The small council is a body which advises the King of the Seven Kingdoms and institutes policy at his command. It is the inner (thus "small") council of the King, effectively forming the government cabinet of the Seven Kingdoms. Members are appointed to their position by the King; theoretically they can be dismissed at will by the King, however in practice this might lead to undesirable political fallout.
The king serves as the head of the council and takes note of its recommendations, but only the king can make the council's decisions into law. The Hand of the King is the leading advisor on the council and serves as the king's proxy when he is not present, in which case the Hand chairs the meeting. If the king is a minor, then by default the appointed Regent will act in place of the king on the council.[1]
The Small Council meets at the capital city of King's Landing in the Red Keep, in the same building as the Iron Throne courtroom.
Members of the Small Council are appointed and dismissed by the King, in theory as the King wills. In practice, of course, appointments or dismissals may have undesired political consequences which the King must consider.
The Small Council usually consists of seven non-hereditary positions (possibly to reflect the traditions of the Faith of the Seven). Long vacancies sometimes occur for one of these positions, i.e. during time of war, though this is considered undesirable.
- Hand of the King: chairs the Small Council, serves as the King's proxy during his absences.
- Master of Coin: the realm's chief treasurer and bookkeeper.
- Master of Whisperers: the realm's chief intelligence advisor and spymaster, supervising covert activities and information gathering, both at home and abroad.
- Master of Laws: the realm's chief legal advisor, who also manages the Red Keep's dungeons, and supervises law enforcement.
- Master of Ships: the realm's chief naval officer, supervising the Royal Fleet and coordinating the realm's maritime defenses.
- Lord Commander of the Kingsguard: the realm's chief military advisor, particularly in regards to land-based warfare. While the King personally appoints knights to the Kingsguard at his whim, once chosen they are lifetime appointments, which cannot legally be removed. In theory, however, a King may demote the Lord Commander back to being a regular member, and elevate one of the other six Kingsguard to Lord Commander (though it is unknown if this has ever happened).
- Grand Maester: the maester assigned to the Red Keep, and thus to the realm. Like all maester assignments, the Grand Maester is appointed by the Conclave of Archmaesters at the Citadel, not the King. While controversial, the King and the Hand of the King have the authority to exclude the Grand Maester from the Small Council, and even imprison him, but cannot replace him as Grand Maester. This makes the Grand Maester unique as the only member of the council not specifically chosen by the King.
If the Regent of an underage King does not already possess one of these positions, then they are included in the Small Council as the King's proxy.
The Commander of the City Watch is not, strictly speaking, a position in the Small Council, however the Commander frequently attends Small Council meetings to report on conditions in the capital city. Janos Slynt is given an official seat on the council as one of his rewards for the role he played in the betrayal and arrest of Eddard Stark, though he was subsequently removed by acting Hand Tyrion Lannister.
The council may on occasion extend invitations to other lords to occupy a seat on the council, despite there being no actual "office" for them to fill (serving as advisors who function as ministers without portfolio).
Under Aerys II Targaryen
The positions and members of the King's small council under Aerys II Targaryen, the Mad King, included:
- The Hand of the King: Lord Tywin Lannister served as Aerys's Hand for twenty years, during which he held the realm together during Aerys's spiral into insanity. Tywin resigned in protest some years before the end of Aerys's reign.
- Grand Maester: Pycelle
- Master of Whisperers: Varys
The identities of all the members of Aerys's small council have not been revealed. Apart from Tywin, Varys was appointed Master of Whisperers during Aerys Targaryen's reign. Grand Maester Pycelle held his position even before Aerys ascended to the throne. Wisdom Rossart, a pyromancer, was made Hand of the King, during the final weeks of Robert's Rebellion. Varys and Pycelle would retain their positions after Robert Baratheon ascended to the Iron Throne. However, the men who were Aerys's Masters of Coin, Law, and Ships did not retain their positions under Robert.
Under Robert Baratheon
The positions and members of the King's small council under Robert I are:
- The Hand of the King:
- Lord Jon Arryn, Lord of the Eyrie, Lord Paramount of the Vale, and Warden of the East. Appointed to the position when Robert ascended to the throne, and retained it for most of Robert's subsequent seventeen year reign.
- Lord Eddard Stark, Lord of Winterfell, Lord Paramount and Warden of the North. Chosen to replace Jon Arryn after the former's sudden death, serving during the last few months of King Robert's reign.
- Grand Maester: Pycelle.
- Master of Coin: Lord Petyr Baelish, known as "Littlefinger".
- Master of Whisperers: Varys, known as "the Spider".
- Master of Laws: Lord Renly Baratheon, Lord of Storm's End.
- Master of Ships: Lord Stannis Baratheon, Lord of Dragonstone.
Traditionally, as Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, Ser Barristan Selmy would have had a seat on the small council. However, because Barristan had been a Kingsguard for Aerys Targaryen, Robert didn't like to include him in discussions of strategy, so he usually held small council meetings without him. Barristan didn't mind being left out, because he didn't enjoy politics.[2]
Under Joffrey Baratheon
The positions and members of the King's small council under Joffrey I are:
- Queen Regent Cersei Lannister, King Joffrey's mother.
- The Hand of the King: Lord Tyrion Lannister, serving as acting Hand in stead of his father Tywin Lannister.
- Grand Maester: Pycelle. Removed by Tyrion and imprisoned in the dungeons of the Red Keep. However, Tyrion did not have the authority to replace him as Grand Maester. The position was functionally vacant for several months.
- Master of Coin: Lord Petyr Baelish.
- Master of Whisperers: Varys.
- Master of Laws: (Vacant)
- Master of Ships: (Vacant)
- Lord Commander of the Kingsguard: Jaime Lannister (in absentia).
Joffrey himself barely came to meetings of his own Small Council, unless it was insisted upon. His mother Cersei, as Queen Regent, typically took his place.
With the departure of Renly and Stannis Baratheon, who declared themselves rival claimants to the Iron Throne, the offices of Master of Laws and Master of Ships were left vacant. Cersei and Joffrey either could not find suitable candidates or simply didn't bother to appoint replacements.
Cersei and Joffrey's first edicts were to name Tywin Lannister as Hand of the King, to unlawfully dismiss Ser Barristan Selmy from the Kingsguard, and to name Cersei's brother Jaime his replacement as Lord Commander. Tywin, however, did not assume the office for a full year because he was busy personally directing the war in the Riverlands. Because he could not go to the capital in person, Tywin sent Tyrion in his stead as acting Hand to try to rein in the royal court. Jaime did not arrive in the capital either, but was instead captured during the Battle of the Whispering Wood, after which he spent over a year as a prisoner of the Starks, and another year slowly making his way back to King's Landing through the devastated Riverlands. Jaime was technically Lord Commander during this time period but the position was functionally vacant. Moreover, Tyrion removed Pycelle from the council and imprisoned him in the dungeons of the Red Keep, after discovering that he was spying on him (albeit for Queen Regent Cersei, his own sister). Tyrion did not have the authority to appoint a new Grand Maester, so the position was also vacant for several months. Also, while the Commander of the City Guard is not a full member he usually sits at council meetings, but in disgust, Tyrion exiled Janos Slynt to the Wall. As Varys pointed out, for a time the "Small Council" was growing smaller by the day: four out of the seven main offices were vacant, the regent but not the king sat at most meetings, and the Hand was technically only an acting Hand.
After the Battle of the Blackwater, Tywin Lannister re-assumed his duties as the Hand of the King, and sought to restore order to the council. Petyr Baelish was rewarded by being named Lord of Harrenhal, and departed for the Vale of Arryn to woo Lady Lysa Arryn into a marriage-alliance and secure the Vale's loyalty to the Iron Throne. Tyrion Lannister, who had been relieved of his position as acting Hand, was then promoted back to Master of Coin to fill Baelish's absence. Cersei secured Pycelle's release from the dungeons before the battle, and afterwards Tywin reinstated him to the council. Tywin also ended the brief stint of the lowly sellsword Bronn as Commander of the City Watch (though Bronn was also well-rewarded with a knighthood). As a display of his dominance, Tywin decided to start holding council meetings in the Tower of the Hand, adjacent to his own chambers.The composition of Joffrey's small council after the Battle of the Blackwater includes:
- The Hand of the King: Lord Tywin Lannister, Lord Paramount of the Westerlands, Lord of Casterly Rock, and Warden of the West, King Joffrey's grandfather.
- Queen Regent Cersei Lannister, King Joffrey's mother.
- Grand Maester: Pycelle. Reinstated by Tywin Lannister after the Battle of the Blackwater.
- Master of Coin: Lord Tyrion Lannister.
- Master of Whisperers: Varys.
- Master of Laws: (Vacant)
- Master of Ships: (Vacant)
- Lord Commander of the Kingsguard: Jaime Lannister (in absentia)
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the small council was the creation of King Aegon I, assembled to advise him and carry out policy. The small council is similar to a privy council in real-life medieval monarchies.
In the novels the council has an additional member: the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, who advises the King on various matters, particularly military ones. In the TV series, Barristan Selmy is never shown to be a member, the reason is explained in the Season 3 episode "Kissed by Fire". The reason for this was apparently due to the decision to have Barristan openly reveal his identity to Daenerys Targaryen as soon as he meets her. In the books, he initially hid his true identity, and told her his name was "Arstan Whitebeard". Because Barristan did attend Small Council meetings in the first novel, he knew that Jorah Mormont had been spying on Daenerys for Varys and King Robert. Because he was hiding his identity, however, he did not reveal this information as soon as he met Daenerys. In the TV version, Barristan does reveal his identity to Daenerys as soon as he meets her, probably because it is easy to make such a narrative deception in a book but this doesn't translate well into the visual medium of television. This of course means that if Barristan knew of Jorah's spying from attending Small Council meetings (in Season 1), there would be no reason for him not to reveal Jorah's spying to Daenerys when he first meets her at the beginning of Season 3. The simple answer the writers apparently settled on is to say that in the TV continuity, Barristan rarely attended Small Council meetings, because King Robert didn't like having a Targaryen loyalist around when he was discussing the realm's strategies (specifically, to send assassins to kill the Targaryen exiles - in the books, Barristan objected to this along with Ned Stark).
The Commander of the City Guard is not technically a member of the council but often sits in on its meetings to report on conditions in the capital city. Janos Slynt was rewarded with an official seat on the council for his betrayal of Ned Stark. However, Tywin Lannister considers this preposterous when he hears of it due to Janos' common-born status, indicating that the Commander of the City Guard is still not quite considered to be a full council member. Indeed, one of Tywin's specific instructions to Tyrion when he sent him to King's Landing as acting Hand was to remove Janos from the council. In the TV series, it is implied that Tyrion's disgust at Janos' involvement in the purge of Robert's bastard children was the sole reason that he removed Janos, and no specific mention is made of Tywin's instructions. In the books, Tyrion was also disgusted at Janos' actions, but this just gave him greater impetus to carry out his father's instructions (either way, Tyrion removes Janos in the TV series soon after he arrives in King's Landing; in the books as well, he didn't kick him out immediately simply because he had other matters to attend to first).
After Tywin Lannister resumes his post as Hand of the King after the Battle of the Blackwater, his dismisses his daughter Cersei from the Small Council. Technically as Queen Regent she still has some right to be there, and in practice Tywin does have her physically sit at several important council meetings when he is explaining his plans. However, Tywin makes it clear that he will not let Cersei wield power under him, and when she is present at the council it is just so she can hear Tywin's plans so she can quietly obey them: he doesn't let her take a leading role in the council's discussions. Similarly, in the TV series, Cersei is still shown physically sitting at Small Council meetings, but for the most part she sits silently as her father leads the discussion.
When Tywin resumes his position as Hand of the King, he also sets about reordering the rest of the Small Council, in particular, that Cersei and Joffrey embarrassingly left the positions of Master of Laws and Master of Ships vacant for over a year. He appoints his brother Kevan Lannister as the new Master of Laws, and Mace Tyrell as the new Master of Ships (as a reward for allying with House Lannister). This might have happened off-screen in Season 3, but awaits confirmation in Season 4.

Evans, R. (2012). African Journal of AIDS Research (AJAR), 11, 177-189. doi: 10.2989/16085906.2012.734977
Published Abstract
This article explores the resilience of orphaned young people in safeguarding physical assets (land and property) inherited from their parents and sustaining their households without a co-resident adult relative. Drawing on the concept of resilience and the sustainable livelihoods framework, the article analyses the findings of an exploratory study conducted in 2008–2009 in Tanzania and Uganda with 15 orphaned young people heading households, 18 of their siblings, and 39 NGO workers and community members. The findings suggest that inherited land and property were key determining factors in the formation and viability of the child- and youth-headed households in both rural and urban areas. Despite experiences of stigma and marginalisation in the community, social networks were crucial in enabling the young people to protect themselves and their property, providing access to material and emotional resources, and enhancing their skills and capabilities to develop sustainable livelihoods. Support for child- and youth-headed households needs to recognise young people's agency and should adopt a holistic approach to their lives by analysing the physical assets, material resources, and human and social capital available to the household, as well as giving consideration to individual young people's wellbeing, outlook and aspirations. Alongside cash transfers and material support, youth-led collective mobilisation that is sustained over time may also help build resilience and foster supportive social environments in order to challenge property-grabbing and the stigmatisation of child- and youth-headed households.

Comment and Implications for Policy and Practice
The author begins with the assertion that three decades of the HIV epidemic have led to changes in patterns of care and inheritance in East and Southern Africa. Customary law has long privileged men and excluded women and children from asset ownership and inheritance. Under traditional jurisdiction, the land and property of a deceased man are divided among male heirs with the expectation that they take responsibility for the widow and her children. Enforcement of this responsibility has weakened and stigma associated with HIV and AIDS has led to asset stripping by malevolent relatives, further hampering children's access to their parents' land and property. Evans used mixed methods, combining interviews with focus groups with young caregivers, their siblings, NGO workers and community members, allowing for feedback of findings and participation in the formulation of key messages through posters and video-recorded drama and singing performances. The core data comes from 15 young caregivers identified by 5 NGOs providing HIV-related support, an approach that the author concedes could have led to an atypical sample of young people – young people who, in the formulation of Skovdal and Daniel in the introductory piece, could be well-schooled in international aid and NGO 'speak'. The author found that almost all the young people had retained their parents' land and property despite customary practice, and that these assets were crucial to the viability of the households they headed. The determination among young people to retain assets – despite the fact that they had not yet attained adulthood status – emanated from their fear that unscrupulous relatives might appropriate their parent's assets as well as a desire among siblings to remain together and to be independent. This independence, if against the wishes of family and kin, was achieved with the material and social assistance of NGOs who reported believing that it was better for the young people and their sib household. It is noteworthy that the researcher did not interrogate potential unintended adverse effects of this particular NGO intervention – such as alienation from family and community – by interviewing extended family members and traditional authorities to ascertain their perspective. This demonstrates a frequently observed tendency by NGOs to assume that they have to 'replace' children's families on the assumption that these families are inadequate, cruel, ill-meaning and the like, without collecting evidence to support an assessment of pre-existing family relationships and the ramifications of one or other intervention. It is noteworthy that young people themselves reported relying on traditional authorities to protect their land and property rights. The author questions the sustainability of NGO intervention yet, in the framing of the issues confines the resources available to young people responsible for households to their sib families and to NGOs, as if few other resources exist in the dense social environments of extended families, kin and clan, and urban and rural communities living in poverty. I found it disappointing in a special issue on the social determinants of resilience to encounter neglect of family and community resources potentially available to young people other than NGOs.

Basic vampire abilities
Peter is a nomadic vampire roaming North America with his mate Charlotte. He befriended Jasper Whitlock while they were in the Mexican coven and have been close as brothers ever since, therefore creating a loyalty with Jasper's mate Alice Cullen.
Early life
Peter was originally created during the Southern Wars as part of Maria's army. Against long odds, he survived his first three years. His job was to care for the newborns, full-time. He was later befriended by Jasper, and fell in love with the newborn Charlotte. Jasper described him as a civilized vampire who didn't like to fight, even though he was good at it.
One day Jasper was ordered by Maria to kill all the 'pawns'; newborns past their first year. Jasper requested Peter's help. Peter tried to persuade Jasper that some had potential, but Jasper disagreed. After a long night of killing, Jasper could see it was taking a toll on Peter. When Jasper called out the next name on the list, Peter was suddenly furious. When Charlotte appeared, Peter changed; his feelings gave him away. He shouted for her to run, bolting after her. Both escaped successfully.
Five years later, Peter returned for Jasper, who had also left. By this time, Peter and Charlotte had found a more peaceful lifestyle up North. While traveling with Jasper, Peter noticed his depression was always worse after they hunted. Jasper left after a few years traveling with the couple, since he couldn't handle the overwhelming emotions of his prey. Peter and Charlotte didn't feel the same way; they only wanted release from fighting. After Jasper settled with the Cullens, Peter and Charlotte visited regularly.
In Midnight Sun, Alice sees Peter and Charlotte coming to visit and Edward has issues concerning Bella, mentioning that Peter isn't known for his self-control.
Midnight Sun
- Main article: Midnight Sun
Peter and his mate, Charlotte, pay a visit to the Cullens in Midnight Sun. When Edward sees their arrival, he immediately goes paranoid for Bella's safety and tries to protect her in secret. However, Charlotte and Peter do not hunt in town, and they leave very soon. When Peter notices Edward's uneasiness, he assumes that their diet on animal blood that has begun to drive him mad.
- Main article: Eclipse
Peter and Charlotte are mentioned by Jasper when he explains to Bella about his experiences with newborns and how it connects to the newborn army terrorizing Seattle.
Breaking Dawn
- Main article: Breaking Dawn
When the Volturi threaten the Cullens' entire existence due to a mistaken report about the vampire hybrid Renesmee being an immortal child, Jasper suggests they find Peter and Charlotte to testify against their accusations.
Later, Alice and Jasper find Peter and Charlotte, and send them to Forks where their family explained the situation. Unlike the Denali coven's initial reaction to Renesmee, they show less wariness, since they had never seen an immortal child before. After the situation was resolved in an almost completely peaceful way, Peter and Charlotte share a conversation with Jasper before departing.
Physical appearance
Peter is described as being 6'3" tall, almost as tall as Jasper, with long, white blond hair and a lean body. As a human-feeding vampire, he has red eyes that darken the longer he keeps from feeding.
Peter is not known for his restraint, as he was raised by Maria, who just wanted her troops strong. Peter's emotions shine through quite clearly about the way he feels for Charlotte.
He has a strong sense of loyalty to Jasper and thinks of him as a brother of sorts.
Powers and abilities
Peter is known to be a very strong vampire. His combat skills allowed him to stay alive as well as become a permanent member of the Mexican coven before he left with Charlotte.
- Main article: Peter and Charlotte
Charlotte is Peter's mate. They first met in the Mexican Coven when Charlotte was brought into the coven as a newborn.
Unlike the rest of the newborns he knew, he found Charlotte's company quite entertaining, and it did not take long before they fell in love. Peter became anxious as her newborn year reached its end, and tried to console in Jasper and Maria to keep her to no success.
Knowing that she was to be executed, Peter fled from the coven with Charlotte up North, where they established a more peaceful existence.
Peter and Charlotte currently live their lives freely as nomads up in North America, and they occasionally visit the Cullens for social call or assistance.
Jasper Hale
Jasper Hale is Peter's companion, whom he befriended during his time with the Mexican Coven. They first met when Peter was brought into the coven. Jasper and Peter enjoyed each other's company so much that they became fast friends and companions.
Jasper was the one who convinced Maria to keep Peter due to his useful skills. Peter knew that Jasper had saved his life, and he felt indebted; he would do anything Jasper asked.
After he fled with Charlotte, he snuck back for Jasper to tell him about life up north and convinced him to leave with him. He was surprised, though, when Jasper agreed. After Jasper found Alice and adapted to vegetarianism, Peter was happy for him, though he could never grasp the benefits of not hunting humans.
After Alice and Jasper joined the Cullen family, Peter and Charlotte would occasionally visit them for social calls or assistance.

A school board in western Colorado has decided to allow the district superintendent and a principal to carry firearms onto school grounds.
The Cortez Journal reports the seven-member board that oversees schools in Dolores County voted unanimously Wednesday to allow the principal at Dove Creek High School and the superintendent to double as security officers, provided they complete a concealed carry course and receive a permit from the county sheriff's office.
Superintendent Bruce Hankins and Principal Ty Gray will receive an additional $1 salary for the extra duties.
Lance Clem with the Colorado School Safety Resource Center says state law allows peace officers to carry firearms on school grounds, but it doesn't address security officers.
Hankins says security talks were under way before the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.

It was supposed to a night full of family fun and Disney songs but it turned out to be a night that left one family in shock.
Shirae Hines, her kids and her best friend say they were settling in to watch a movie when a bullet ripped through the ceiling of her home and became lodged in the flat screen TV.
Stunned and confused, Hines said that they all looked up and saw two holes: one in the ceiling and one in the TV. Hines' friend Kamika Raby called 911.
Police say the handgun was accidentally discharged by a person who was in the apartment above Hines' apartment. Police say they ticketed 25-year-old Amy Walter.
It was by the grace of God that no one was injured, Hines told 11 News.
Just minutes before the bullet went into her home, Hines' two daughters were up moving around and had actually walked past the bullet's entry point.

This page is intended to collect information about permanent (persisting after CHDK is removed) camera failures which are either suspected or proven to be caused by the use of CHDK. If a camera damaging bug does appear in CHDK, it is likely that it will take multiple occurrences to confirm that it is a caused by CHDK and not a coincidental malfunction. This is especially true if the problem involves reducing the life of a component rather than an instant failure. Having a central location should help identify any pattern that exists, and help users identify similar failures as part of a possible pattern.
The developers of CHDK believe that CHDK is unlikely to cause permanent damage to cameras. However, CHDK comes with absolutely no warranty, and users must accept that destruction of their camera is a possible result of using CHDK. See the FAQ for more information.
Actual reports should be made on the forum, preferably in the development thread for the specific camera. These reports should contain as much detail as possible, including the model, canon firmware version, CHDK build, and the details of the malfunction and when it occurred. A link to the thread with a brief summary should be added to this page.
This page should not be used for discussion. Use the forum, or if for some reason that is impossible, the discussion page.
Confirmed reports
There are currently no confirmed instances of CHDK causing permanent damage.
Unconfirmed reports
- After I started using CHDK some messages like LENS ERROR start appearing... =(
- developer note: User did not provide any specifics. As described above, the specific circumstances of the error should be described in a forum post. Without any details, the report is useless.
- http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=4284.msg75118#msg75118 lens error with lens extended after update from 0.9.9 to 1.1.0. camera non-functional.
- http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=5691.msg62825#msg62825 camera non-functional with "lens error" after camera crashes with lens extended.
- Another possible case http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=5691.msg68658#msg68658 -

Disproven reports
- Talk:A2000IS#My_camera_broke_down_last_night
Lens failure after using subject distance override.User found mechanical cause of the failure.
A mechanism by which CHDK causes damage has been positively identified, or other evidence has established beyond reasonable doubt that CHDK causes some specific error.
A reported of a camera malfunction in association with CHDK, without other obvious causes.
Readers should be aware that
- Humans tend to assume there is a causal relationship when events happen close together, even if there is none.
- If a camera damaging bug exists, it will most likely affect many users of the camera, so a single occurrence on a widely used port is likely to be coincidental.
- A failure that reduced the service life of some component would be very difficult to confirm.
A reported failure for which other causes were conclusively found, e.g. a hardware failure. Collecting these may help others who experience the same problem.

Human beings have been dancing since the beginning of time. Rhythmic movement of the body to musical beats is a natural, sensual form of expression and entertainment. Across decades, people have enjoyed various rhythms and styles of dance on the stage, at parties, and in clubs and discos. Just as music and footwork are crucial to the art of dance, so too is attire. The perfect ensemble helps bring out the essence of the performance, and whether you need a spicy cha cha dress or disco diva jumpsuit to groove in, we have the perfect dancer costume for you.
The roaring twenties were a time when young women rebelled, wearing iconic short skirts and dancing the night away to soulful jazz. Fast forward to the 70's, a time when disco dancers every where partied in psychedelic mini skirts and platform boots. In the 80s, Flashdance Alex Owens killed it in casually cute leotard with sweatshirt.
Statement makers of each era used the music and fashion of the time to dance their hearts out! Around the world, flashy showgirls and risque burlesque performers dress in attention grabbing costumes that reveal a lot of skin. Typically high shine, this glamorous garb will turn heads at your next Halloween party.
Whether you're doing the Irish Jig or kicking up a Can Can storm, we have great ideas for your next party or performance. Exotic belly dancing two-pieces and ruffled Latin dresses will help you shake things up on the dance floor. Just be prepared to show off your moves!

About Me
- About Sheridan
- Occupation
- Freelance writer and editor in the RPG industry
- Biography
- In my sophomore year of high school I was introduced to the Red (Basic) and Blue (Expert) boxed sets that made up some game called Dungeons & Dragons. Even after losing all my weapons to the first creature I encountered (a rust monster), I knew I was hooked. Every other boxed RPG from TSRs heyday (Star Frontiers, Gamma World, Conan, Indiana Jones, Gangbusters, Boot Hill, etc., etc.) soon followed.
My original foray into writing for the RPG industry was significantly less than successful. My first big break was an article I wrote for the Indiana Jones game by TSR which ended up being slated for Dragon magazine. Unfortunately, TSR lost the Indiana Jones license before my article could be published (creating what would become the Diana Jones award in the process, but thats another story ). The then editor of Dragon magazine, Roger Moore, sent me a slew of IJ modules as a consolation prize (which I would have bought with the proceeds from the article anyway), so I was thrilled. Thanks, Roger!
When college came, I didnt have the time to do any recreational writing, so fast forward ten years, past three degrees, two jobs, a marriage, and a kid. I started writing as a hobby again while my wife was pregnant with our second child mostly entering small contests and the like. I won several writing contests through d20Zine, an electronic periodical published by Steve Creech of Bastion Press to whom I have immense gratitude for all the nifty gaming prizes he sent me during the (second) early phase of my writing efforts.
One of the goals I had set for myself was to write and get published an expansion for one of my favorite campaign settings. Among the many settings I use in my campaign, I thought Fast Forward Entertainments Dungeon World was quite innovative. After reading the original hardcover books on the setting, I wrote an expansion that added information on languages, magic, new races, new organizations, and several other aspects I thought would make a good fit for the setting. Fast Forward liked it and it became my first magazine article, published in print, in Games Unplugged #26.
Since that time, I've been fortunate enough to work for Sword & Sorcery Studios, Expeditious Retreat Press, Adamant Entertainment, Ronin Arts, Louis Porter Jr. Design, Zeitgeist Games, Seraphim Guard, Bards And Sages, Dark Quest Games, and E.N. Publishing, among others. The rest of the story is still evolving

To the editor:
I keep seeing letters to the editor about the animal rescue facility and I feel that many are missing the point.
The point isn't that Oldham County doesn't want an animal rescue in the County, but that if you move out to a well-developed neighborhood with deed restrictions and expectations of the use of the land, then don't then build something that is more akin to a farm.
If you planned to do so, why didn't you buy a farm or expanse of land designed for that?

Pallet Town
this wiki
Many famous people come from Pallet Town, such as Ash Ketchum, Gary Oak, Red, Blue, Leaf, and Samuel Oak. There are only two routes linking Pallet town to other places, which means that it doesn't have much commerce. One of the routes (Route 21 south) is a water route so they get almost nothing coming in from there and the other is the only place where they actually travel on, Route 1 (North). The main trading city is Viridian City, where they get their supplies as there is no Pokémart or Pokemon Center in the town (though in the game, your mom heals you). This is where all Pokémon trainers start out, as it is where professor Oak gives out the Starter Pokémon.
Notable Places
Player's House
This house is where you begin your journey, it has two floors. In your room (the upper floor), there is a PC, which the player can store and deposit items on and a NES. When the player first starts the game, there is a Potion which can he/she can withdraw. After he/she obtains the Pokédex and his/her Starter Pokémon from Professor Oak, the player's mom starts to heal the player's Pokémon.
Rival's House
Your Rival's house, has only one floor. Once, Professor Oak has given you the Pokédex, Daisy (your rival's sister) will give you the Town Map and also grooms one of your Pokémon
Professor Oak's Lab
Professor Oak lives and studies Pokémon in his lab. This is where Professor Oak, will give you your first Pokémon - Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle.

Trainer Tips
3rd Generation
|"Press START to open the MENU."
- If the player presses A on the TV in the player's house in the living room, the message log will say "Four boys are walking on a railroad track." This is a reference to the movie Stand By Me, based off the book by Stephen King.

What makes it morally wrong?
If you are an RFL member club and denied your place in it even when finishing the Champions of the league below then morally it is wrong.
And how come your morals change (you know, through refusing to watch SL) if your club manages to get into SL?
I don't mind people's opinions or stances, but if they're going to be so vociferous about them without being able to back them up with logic and facts then it's nothing more than negative moaning stubborn whingy attention seekers sticking their tongues out with their fingers in their ears singing lalalala because they haven't got what they want. Basically, something bratty little children do, not mature and rational adults.
If you can't back it up, don't shout about it.

AG096: Training Wrecks!
this wiki
The gang reached the Muscle Island. They will take the last boat to the Mossdeep Island. Brock tells them they will come to the City tomorrow when they wake up in the boat. As they walk near a rock-slide, they hear some people. Team Rocket's submarine has been washed on coast, so they quickly go out of it. When they realize nothing happened, a wave takes the submarine into the sea's depths. As they argue whose fault it is, they hear some people training. The gang appears, seeing the people training as well. The coach, named Rocky, introduces himself to the gang. He leads the (unofficial) Gym on Muscle Island.
Rocky tells them that there is nothing else on the island, besides the Gym and the ferry - not even a store. Rocky will share some of their food to the gang, so in return they want to hear the stories from them. The gang introduces themselves to Rocky. Since a new boat won't turn up until afternoon, Rocky thinks they should exercise for a while. Everyone (except May) want to train. Team Rocket spy, so Meowth thinks they should exercise - becoming stronger will make the boss employ them as bodyguards, relaxing him. Jessie thinks it is a terrible idea, but James thinks they might be out of shape, being blasted off all the time. A trainer comes, inviting them to train.
Max tries to lift a metal Poké Ball, but with no success - a trainer tells him it weighs 30 pounds. May is exercising on a static bike, cycling it. A female trainer tells her that she will become a better trainer with that. Ash and Pikachu climbed up a rope, so Rocky turns the machine, spinning them. Ash and Pikachu need to grab the rope at the same time, but fail. The gang sees Team Rocket running on a track, confusing them. They tell Rocky they are up to no good, but Rocky tells them they have not done anything bad - yet. Rocky wonder why Ash is going to Mossdeep, and when he tells him he goes for the 7th badge, Rocky proposes a battle before the fight. Ash accepts the challenge. Brock, May and Max go to support Ash, but Rocky tells them no fans allowed.
Meowth hears them and tells James and Jessie to get Pikachu while it is exhausted, but they are in their own thoughts, not listening to him. At the battlefield, Rocky tells Ash it would be better to have a Double Battle, so Ash accepts. Rocky sends Quagsire and Walrein, while Ash sends Pikachu and Grovyle. Pikachu starts with Thunderbolt on Walrein, but Quagsire comes and negates the attack, since it is a Ground type, too. Max, May, Brock and Team Rocket begin to be exhausted, although James has not lost his enthusiasm. Walrein attacks using Ice Ball, but Pikachu and Grovyle evade with Quick Attack. Pikachu attacks with Iron Tail and Grovyle with Leaf Blade, but both fail when Quagsire and Walrein switched sides.
Walrein uses Ice Ball. Pikachu tries to attack him with Thunderbolt, but Quagsire comes, negating it. Walrein continues the attack, hurting both of Ash's Pokémon. Rocky thought that on land, trainers would be more of a challenge, but seems to think it isn't. Ash decides to prove him wrong. May, Max and Brock train more (even if they have aches in every part of the body), while Team Rocket run more on the track. Meowth and Jessie make distraction, saying they saw an UFO, but James still continues to run, so their plan fails. Grovyle uses Bullet Seed, although both Pokémon hide behind the stones. Walrein launches an Ice Ball. Pikachu uses Iron Tail and Grovyle Leaf Blade to stop, but fail - the ball is bigger than before.
Max, Brock and May convince the trainers they left something on their boats, so they go grab it. Team Rocket do the same thing (even if James told them their submarine sank). Walrein launches another ball, but Pikachu and Grovyle evade. Ash notices the bigger the ball is, the more time it needs to be launched. Walrein goes to make one last Ice Ball. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but Quagsire defends Walrein. Grovyle follows with Leaf Blade, so Quagsire falls, leaving Pikachu to defeat Walrein with Thunder. Rocky returns his Pokémon and praises Ash for the battle. Ash promises to battle Rocky. May, Max and Brock come to Ash, so Ash tells him he won. At the afternoon, the gang is seen on a ship to Mossdeep Island. Ash and Pikachu are determined to fight the Mossdeep City's Gym leader. James and Jessie (disguised) come to them, saying Pokémon are not allowed to get aboard. As they go to pull Pikachu, they fail, so undisguised themselves. Jessie takes Pikachu, but the gang pulls the net. Pikachu electrocutes everyone (making Team Rocket blast off), but in so doing, the gang flies off in another direction.
