Original Lavender Town The History of Lavender Town By: Donovan Snook

Short Little Preview Pokémon has gone through changes since the very first Pokémon game was released. But, there were changes that have been made on the English version that started out on the Japanese version. They have censored some of the things that were in the games. There have been a lot of stories in the games that have been nothing but lies. Maybe haunted game cartridges that start to haunt people. Those kinds of stories will be put to the side for now. This is the story of Lavender Town.

The Story of Lavender Town

This is about a Lavender Town in the original Pokémon games that were produced in Japan.

There are stories of kids that have only faint, it is really weird that actually committed suicide after you would have a Pokémon die. hearing the Lavender Town You face Gary later on and find theme. It was only kids that wore out his raticate is no longer in his headphones that experienced the party so it must be true. high pitch tones of the theme. Let’s face the fact that it is pretty dark and gruesome for a kids game. Lastly, it is the most important thing about Lavender Town. Buried Alive. Buried Alive is a Pokémon that is In Lavender Town a half of a corpse and is the most there are numerous stories as challenging thing you will face. As well. Like the mysterious white if it was bad enough there is hand, the Pokémon Buried Alive, more. They thought that was bad or even you killing Gary’s enough to switch it out with the Raticate.

White hand is a Pokémon in the game and it’s only moves are “Fist” and “Brutal”. You first hear about the White Hand when you are outside of Lavender Tower. You talk to a trainer and Buried Alive is he tries to explain to you that at the top of the Lavender Tower and there is a white hand on your shoulder. You forget about the when you go to encounter him all fact there is a hand on your you hear is, “You’re here…. I’m shoulder because it seems far trapped…. And I’m lonely…..

Fallout Trilogy (Austin McIsaac) Then there’s the G.O.A.T, which you take to show what u do in the vault, the One of my favorite trilogy of games are last event is when your father leaves the Fallout series, they are great games and vault and goes out into the wasteland, are very enjoyable and are entertaining. and which you follow him. What I like The fallout series is about your character very much about the game is you get that lives in a wasteland and is given skills that help you with many things in quests to do many jobs, good and bad, the game, like lock pick, medicine, which can give various rewards, from science and more, companions to help weapons to cash. There are four games you get along in the game, but the best in the trilogy, the first and second were thing about this game I like is it is up to made by a different group then the you how you play, you can chose what fourth and fifth are made by a different you say to certain people and there is group. I have no played the first and karma so there is a good and bad in the second Fallout games, but I have beaten game. The fourth game is your character the third and fourth. The games revolve is a courier and is shot in the head over a around being in the USA after a nuclear casino chip, but a robot digs you up and war between china, but before all that a saves you were you are patched up by a company had build massive vaults that doctor there, instead of being in could protect people who spent a lot of Washington you are in the Mojave money to live in them, they made many Desert, Nevada. The game is pretty all around USA and some in Canada, as much the same thing as the third, but a result many of the cities were there are factions and a few new skills, destroyed or has a lot of unstable perks, guns, food items and new nuclear hotspots. companions. I think that trilogy is a great games and that everyone should at least experience them.

The third game starts off as you being born in Washington; the great thing about this is you can choose your race, and other features like hair and other cosmetic stuff. Then the game has other events like your birth day, which you get a pip-boy 3000, it’s a machine that fits on your arm and does many things. 11/8/2012

Food, Faith & Furthermore Date: [November, 2012]

Carley Ross Volume # 1| Issue #1

The relationship between religion and food is a theory that has been thought about for centuries. There are sacred animals and there are times where members of the church are forbidden to eat some things, or not eat altogether. Religion is closely joined with food and eating habits.

Christianity

In the faith Christianity, people fast during Lent. This means they don’t eat, or eat very little. People in this religion also don’t eat meat during the holiday of Good Friday. A religious food that you probably don’t even think about is the use of blessed bread and wine for communion.

Judaism

In Judaism, people must cook and prepare their food correctly of Kosher. For instance, the animals must be cut and butchered in the right manner. There are also certain regulations that must be followed for eating different foods. Dairy products must not be mixed or eaten with meat. Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is day of fasting; much like Lent for Christians Islam

The religion of Islam also uses food in their religion. Their eating habits are very controlled. Most foods are allowed, but some that could be harmful are not. These foods are called Haram. These Haram foods include: pork, alcohol, caffeinated beverages, any foods containing animal fats, especially butter, and products of bread with yeast. The Ramadan period of the year also constitutes necessary fasting for every person under the Islam religion.

Hinduism

Hinduism is a vegetarian religion. It is not mandatory, but most committed Hindus refuse meat. They also believe in not eating meat that may have possibly hurt animals in the process of manufacturing. In this religion, cows are thought to be sacred. People of this religion will not eat beef or beef products due to this belief.

Buddhism

Most Buddhists are vegetarians as well. They believe that since Buddha had taken many forms, including animals, it would be wrong to eat them. This practice also believes in refusing to eat cows. Some Buddhists will not eat any kind of dairy products, while others just don't eat beef.

HEAD 2 HEAD Old vs New

We got two sleds and old 95 phaser 600 and a vmax 600 triple cylinder. I was able to drive these amazing machines. The vmax was incredible and fast while the phaser wasn’t as fast but was fast enough. The phaser was light while the vmax was heavy which made it hard to maneuver. It would be a wicked machine for drag racing. The phaser was super light I could maneuver it through a forest if wanted to but sadly the suspension was super stiff. It is like riding a bull it’s always trying to buck you off. The suspension on the vmax was smooth you hit a big bump u barley even fell it. There was a lot of response coming from the skis you can feel the vibration if you were to cross ice or something. They both have great fuel consumption rates so you can go for longer drives without even stopping. The vmax has great compression so if you battery is dead or the started isn't hooked up you just better hope you are super strong.if not you probably end up taking you arm off. The phaser on the other is super easy to pull of I can do it with on hand if I wanted to. In conclusion i got to say the vmax has got to

win it is reliable easy on gas and very fast. Although it might have a few minor

problems I say the vmax take first in this head to head compition.

What you may want to see soon. The Road goes ever on Many of you have probably heard of the new movie in The Lord of and on the Rings series. If you haven’t heard about it yet well, you’ve heard it Down from the door here first. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will premiere in theatres where it began. Decembe r the fourteenth 2012. I, as with many others will be attending Now far ahead the the midnight showing in costume. Road has gone,

Just a little bit of Background Info. And I must follow, if I can.

Pursuing it I have always been a fan of the main series; The Fellowship of the with eager feet, Ring, the Two Towers, and The Return of the King. I can not simply Until it joins choose a favorite Lord of the Rings film. If you have already seen the some larger Lord of the Rings saga you will already know some of the storyline. If you way haven’t seen them don’t watch them till you have seen the hobbit. I know Where many this may seem like a problem because they are being released as three paths and films. The last of these three is not being released until 2014. errands meet. The first three films in the series have made 2,917,506,956$ And whither worldwide and with only a cost of that’s a profit of 2.636 billion dollars. then? I cannot It was nominated for 455 academy awards and has won the award for say. 249 of them. This movie like its predecessors will make more than the most The all recent film. The reason for this is that the fan base grew and now over time people’s excitement has been growing more and more until when important One they can see what Peter Jackson will do with this film. Ring. This film has a reported budget of just over 500 million. This shows that Peter Jackson really is putting a lot of time and money into this so he must be this will pay of like in the case of Avatar.

Just to wrap it up.

Many of people’s favorite characters will somehow show up such as Frodo or Legolas. The new trilogy will be much like the old one. It will start at Bag End (The Shire) progress underground, the hero will find out some important, There will be a battle between good and evil (a few), and then the main character will go home and live happily ever after; until his one hundred and eleventh birthday. So if you are a good fan of books in general you might have already read the book but I advise you to see the movie because you never know what twist they will put into it. Hopefully Peter Jackson will have put enough time into it and it will be just like all the rest.

In the Beginning… How Did Volleyball Change Throughout the years? Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan. The game was originally called “mintonette”, but The number of players on each then they renamed the sport side of the court has changed, from “volleyball” because, a spectator being to as many people as you could fit commented that there was a lot of onto a 50-by 25-foot court, to being six “volleying”. William designed the people on to the court at a time. sport to be a combination of Rotating positions have stayed the same basketball, baseball, tennis, and since the beginning. The number of handball. times a team could hit the ball before it went over the net was changed, from being to unlimited hits to then cut down to three hits. The volleyball, ball also has changed; back then they used the rubber bladder from inside a basketball. The nets were high to make the game more challenging. Today the men’s net height is just less than 8 feet tall and the women’s net height is just over 7 feet Who Played It? tall. In 1917 the rule was, the first team to get 15 points would win the game but Volleyball was originally today you need 25 points to win! introduced to middle-aged men. Then colleges and high schools adopted the sport for both men and women. The first US national championships for women were played in 1949, and 52 years later women could compete in the real games. Now today, it seems volleyball is a girls sport even though there are still a lot of boys who play.
