Forget unhealthy, fried potato chips and dive into awesome raw (rawesome) kale chips from SnackLets!
SnackLets was founded by friends who believe that when it's time to eat, it should be time to eat something good. Really good. Like eat the whole bag good. They have been mixing and crafting their own healthy snacks for years and now they would love to share them with the rest of the world.
I love kale and I was thrilled when SnackLets sent me their raw kale chips to try.
"Giddy up! BBQ"
Wow! This flavor rocks! It starts of sweet (due to the dates and sun dried tomatoes) and then it gets hot and smokey, with a hint of cheese. This is a perfectly balanced combination of sweet, spicy and smokey flavors. The the right amount of heat and sweetness with a lovely smokey, cheesy touch.
I ate most of these chips straight out of the bag and sprinkled some on a baked potato and over a salad. Yummy!
"Spicy Chili-lata"
I was absolutely blown away by the aroma and flavor of the "Spicy Chili-lata" ! The heat from dried habanero chili pepper was mellowed down by the amazing creaminess of cashew nuts and brewer's yeast. It was very cheesy, I would compare the taste to a parmesan cheese or cream cheese in a way. I ate all the larger pieces and sprinkled the leftover crumbs over my brown rice pasta for a vegan parmesan experience and extra nutrients. I could not get enough of this flavor and I will be buying it soon.
"Double O Cheesy"
This is a lovely cheesy flavor. It is mild and a little smokey without being spicy so I can see this as a great choice for kids and people who don't like spicy foods. Miso and tahini contribute to the delectable flavor of these kale chips. I ate these alone and then sprinkled some over a salad.
SnackLets is dedicated to creating healthy, whole snacks that, simply put, taste good. There's nothing artificial, nothing fake and nothing you can't pronounce into their treats. They put only the highest quality of ingredients in their snacks (with a whole lot of TLC) to give you the tastiest snacking moment of your day.

Apple emailed a reminder to OS X developers to get a "Developer ID" to comply with Gatekeeper, its iOS-like anti-malware feature for the upcoming OS X Mountain Lion release.
Gatekeeper's debut on the desktop partially applies Apple's highly-successful 'walled garden' strategy to keep malware off iOS devices by tightly controlling how apps make it to the App Store.
Apple won't prevent Mac users from downloading software from the web but it is marketing Gatekeeper and the Mac App Store as the single and safest place to download software and updates.
The ID under the Mac Developer Program allows developers to cryptographically sign applications placed on Apple's desktop market place. If the app is not from an accredited ID, Gatekeeper warns the user.
The email published by 9to5 Mac, notes that "a Developer ID certificate lets Gatekeeper verify that they are not known malware and have not been tampered with."
Renowned white-hat Apple hacker at Accuvant Lab Charlie Miller -- who was earlier this year banned for one year from Apple's iOS developer program after discovering a firmware flaw that let him circumvent Apple's signing process -- praised Apple's efforts to extend the iOS security model to OS X.
"It's smart because it takes the decisions of security away from the users," Apple security researcher Dr Charlie Miller told CSO.com.au.
"Users just want to install some game or software, so people with more expertise at Apple or Microsoft or whatever have a chance to look at those [apps], because you get into trouble when you end up in some far corner of the internet where you're the first guy that's been there and you're downloading a file you don't even know you've downloaded."
The perfect example that case was the recent Flashback outbreak, which marked the first time Mac users were hit by a "drive-by download" trojan, more commonly associated with Windows attacks.
While consumers may benefit from tighter security, Gizmodo raised concerns in February that popular multi instant-messaging system, Adium, might get nudged off OS X in favour of Apple's currently in-beta "Messages" app, which replaces iChat and unifies messaging across iOS and OSX devices. Like Adium, it supports AIM, Yahoo!, Google Talk and Jabber, however Adium still supports a wider choice of IM platforms.
However, it appears Adium did this March get an Apple Developer ID account, according to mailing list message purportedly by key Adium developer Evan Schoenberg.

Thomas Emil Gunther
Thomas is one of my maternal Great Grandfathers. Growing up hearing the stories about him my Nana only called him Emil,. I did not find out until much later that his name was Thomas Emil. I found this from my cousin who also had his birth date of 3 September 1861. I always knew that he had come from Germany. that he had come alone as a young man. I know that he married Catherine McCarron and had three daughters, Helen, 5 June 1895, 25 April 1899 and Theresa, 31 May 1905. All born in Philadelphia, PA. Then a few years ago a friend of my mother's made a comment that Helen was my grandmother's half sister. I know nothing of this. So I requested Aunt Helen's death certificate. She lived in New York so I had a new learning experience in getting this information. I needed to know exactly were she died in order to get this. Thank goodness my family has kept prayer cards from just about everyone's death. On Aunt Helen's I found the name and address of the funeral home and went from there. After a few letters back and forth I received the death certificate for Helen (Gunther) Natale. With her husband, Louis, as informant, it listed her mother's maiden name as Catherine Gunther and her father as Emil Carrigan and her birthplace as U.S.A. New York. So another lesson in information from Death Certificates, Uncle Louie had reversed the last names. But who is Catherine Carrigan? Just some more mystery added to Emil Gunther. I hope to have more information soon. I will keep you posted!

The popular image of American motorcycling is dominated by huge, noisy Harley Davidsons. The sleek, silent design of the Mission Motors chopper unveiled at the Technology, Entertainment and Design conference in Long Beach today could change that.
While basically a giant lithium-ion battery with two wheels, the curvy Mission One prototype is expected to run for 150 miles on a two hour charge, with a top speed of 150 miles per hour -- a speed which blows away existing electric motorcycle standards and is competitive with world class sportbikes that run on gasoline.
Probably because the founders built their first working all-electric bike by stripping the engine from a Ducati at a garage in San Francisco's Mission district.
Mission Motors plans to compete in the TTXGP, an all-electric motorcycle race on England's Isle of Man help in June.
Filling up your bike with juice will cost around $2 in California, according to the company's estimate. However, you'll have to do a lot of riding to make up for the cost of the bike itself -- the first fifty may sell for $68,995 each, with delivery promised in 2010.
Assuming they do deliver. Founder Forrest North formerly worked at Tesla Motors, which is having trouble filling orders and cancelled plans for a factory near San Jose.
Freelance writer Jackson West can't wait to see this chopper in a chase scene.

* Renault and Caterham to build niche sports cars
* Renault to revive Alpine sports-car brand
* First Alpine Caterham cars due within four years
By Laurence Frost
PARIS, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Renault, hoping to harness its Formula One prowess to boost the flagging core brand, unveiled plans to develop a high-performance car in a deal with British specialist sports car maker Caterham.
The French automaker, which has flopped with recent attempts at larger or sportier models like the Laguna car, Vel Satis limousine and Wind roadster, also plans to revive its defunct Alpine brand for the new model, to go on sale by 2016.
The road-legal Alpine and an equivalent Caterham model will put racecar engineering within reach of more customers than rival Formula One-derived road offerings, Caterham Chairman Tony Fernandes and Renault Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn said at a joint news conference.
"If you look at Formula One, there's only Ferrari and McLaren, which are extremely expensive," Fernandes said. "We'll produce a car that many more people can afford with F1 technology."
Renault sold its Formula One team in 2009-10 but continues to supply engines to Caterham Formula One, as well as the Williams, Lotus and Red Bull teams.
The companies declined to give details of pricing, sales targets or their financial transaction - which sees Caterham acquire a 50 percent stake in Automobiles Alpine Renault, a subsidiary of the French automaker.
"We're talking about several thousand vehicles a year," Ghosn said.
According to a French media report, the cars will be priced from 35,000-40,000 euros ($44,700-$51,100), a far cry from McLaren's £800,000 ($1.3 million) P1 supercar or the entry-level Ferrari California at 185,000 euros.
Existing Caterham models are priced between £14,500 and £45,000.
Alpine, a legendary marque among older French racing fans, was founded in the 1950s by French garage mechanic Jean Redele, whose souped-up Renault 4CV cars scored a number of racing victories.
Their success continued throughout the next two decades with the addition of the more powerful A110, and Renault acquired the brand before eventually killing it off in 1994 amid dwindling sales.
"Sometimes people hold really warm feelings towards brands even if they haven't been around for a while," said Manfred Abraham, head of strategy at branding consultancy Interbrand.
While potential sales volumes are often limited, performance offerings can have a "halo effect" on mainstream models, Abraham said, citing a shift up-market by Volkswagen's Audi brand helped by its TT and R8 models.
The last decade has seen several mass carmakers dust off discontinued names to roll out retro-styled compact cars commanding higher prices.
Fiat introduced a modern version of its iconic 500 in 2007, six years after BMW revived Mini. PSA Peugeot Citroen followed suit in 2009 with a range of upscale cars named after the Citroen DS, first sold in 1955.
Ghosn's No.2 executive, Carlos Tavares, had indicated earlier this year that Renault was planning an Alpine sports car along with pricier mainstream vehicles under a new sub-brand, Initial Paris.
The Alpine and Caterham models will be built at Renault's plant in Dieppe, northwestern France, which employs around 300 workers assembling zippier Renault Sport versions of the company's production models.

Robert I Baratheon
Robert I Baratheon is the Lord of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and the head of House Baratheon of King's Landing. Robert was crowned king after King Aerys II Targaryen, his first cousin once removed, was killed during Robert's Rebellion. Following the war, Robert married Cersei Lannister to ensure political stability. With her, Robert has three children: Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen. In the television adaptation Game of Thrones he is played by Mark Addy.
Appearance and Character
Robert has the classical Baratheon look: black hair and bright blue eyes.[5] His heavy black hair is thick on his chest, and coarse around his sex.[6] He is a very tall man;[5] Eddard Stark estimates his height to be six and a half feet.[7] As a young adult, Robert was a handsome,[5] clean shaven man,[7] with rough and hard hands.[8] He was strong and powerful, and muscled "like a maiden's fantasy". However, after he won the throne, Robert's appearance changed. Due to excessive feasting and drinking, Robert gained a significant amount of weight. In the nine years since Greyjoy's Rebellion, he gained at least eight stone in weight.[7] Now, he is often red-faced from drink,[9] with dark circles underneath his eyes,[7] and walks as if he is half in his cups, while sweating through his silks.[9] In the final years of his life, Robert grew a beard, which people described as a wild, thick and fierce thing,[10] and which served to hide his double chin.[7]
Robert is brave, but headstrong, rash, and impatient.[11][12][7][13][14] He is proud,[15] and will not likely back down on words spoken in a drunken bravado.[15] As king, Robert is no longer used to someone disagreeing with him,[16] and a good way of ensuring that he'd do something, is telling him that he could not, should not, of must not do something (especially in public).[15] Tyrion Lannister considers Robert to be a great blustering oaf,[17] while Varys describes him as a fool.[15] Cersei Lannister considers Robert to be an ignorant,[18] dumb,[19][6] slow-witted,[20] drunken brute of a man,[6] who does not have the ruthless streak she believes a king requires.[6] Although several people consider Robert to be brave,[11][21] Cersei believes him to be a coward.[18] According to Petyr Baelish, Robert is simply very practiced at closing his eyes to things he would rather not see.[22]
Robert is as strong as a bull and fearless in battle.[23] He loves the song of swords[24] and considers poison to be a coward's weapon.[16] As long they are honest and brave, Robert can be merciful towards his enemies.[16][25] The only exception are the Targaryens;[16] His hatred for them is a madness within him.[citation needed] A peerless warrior in his youth,[9] Robert fought with a spiked iron warhammer, crafted by Donal Noye.[26] In battle, he wore a great antlered helmet, which made him look like a horned god.[5] He prefers melees, in which he can hit people with his hammer, over jousts.[20] Despite the numerous weapons in the royal armory, the only blade Robert uses is a hunting knife he received as a boy from Lord Jon Arryn, his foster father.[27] Although his condition has deteriorated due to his weight gain and frequent drinking,[7] Robert remains a strong man; Jaime Lannister believes that Robert is stronger than him.[28] Robert possesses a powerful battlefield voice.[15]
Robert is a man of huge appetites, who knows how to take his pleasures.[7] He is quite promiscuous,[29] and has fathered multiple bastard children. His lusts are the subject of ribald drinking songs throughout the realm,[30] As king, Robert is not loath to impose upon the hospitality of his subjects, no matter whether it is voluntarily or forced.[31] At the same time, however, Robert possesses a great, but rather careless, generosity.[32] He is an avid hunter.[33][34] Some of Robert's favorite songs are "A Cask of Ale", "Fifty-Four Tuns", and "The Bear and the Maiden Fair".[24]
Early life
Born in 262 AC,[2] Robert was the first born child of Cassana Estermont and Steffon Baratheon, Lord of Storm's End, Lord Paramount of the Stormlands, and head of House Baratheon. He was a scant year older than his brother, Stannis, who was born in 264 AC.[35] When Robert was already in his teens, his youngest brother, Renly, was born.[36]
According to Stannis, when Robert was five or six years old, the two brother were brought to court by their father, Steffon, where they witnessed the Hand of the King, Lord Tywin Lannister, sitting on the Iron Throne and holding court.[37]
From an early age onwards, Robert had been fostered by Lord Jon Arryn in the Eyrie, together with Eddard Stark of Winterfell. The two boys became fast friends, and Jon Arryn, who had no children of his own, became like a second father to them.[33][3] During the period in which he was fostered, Robert visited Storm's End on multiple occasions.[3] At some point, Robert was knighted.[1] During a tourney at Storm's End, Robert was defeated by Ser Barristan Selmy.[38]
In 278 AC, Robert's father was sent on a mission by King Aerys II Targaryen, to travel to Volantis to find a bride for Robert's cousin, Crown Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. The mission failed, and Steffon, accompanied by his wife, returned home.[2] Robert and Stannis were present at Storm's End when their parents were expected to arrive, and when the ship came into sight of Storm's End, the boys witnessed how a storm in Shipbreaker Bay sank the ship their parents were on.[10] With his father's death, Robert became the Lord of Storm's End.
Lyanna Stark
Robert fell in love with Lyanna Stark, Eddard Stark's younger sister.[7] In time, Lyanna's father, Lord Rickard Stark, agreed to betroth her to Robert.[29] At the time of their betrothal, Robert already had a bastard daughter, Mya Stone, in the Vale of Arryn, which led to Lyanna commenting that Robert would never keep to one bed, despite his love for her.[29] Eddard would later state that Robert saw only Lyanna's beauty, and never recognized her boldness and strength of will.[15]
In 281 AC, Robert was present at the tourney at Harrenhal, where he took part in the melee.[5] He held a drinking contest with Richard Lonmouth, and swore to unmask the mystery knight known as the Knight of the Laughing Tree, although he failed to do so.[39] It was Robert's cousin, Crown Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, who won the final joust of the tourney. The prince crowned Lyanna—by then long betrothed to Robert—the queen of love and beauty, instead of his wife, Elia Martell. There are some who say that Robert had laughed, stating that Rhaegar had only paid Lyanna her due, though according to men who knew Robert better, he felt it had been an insult, on which he brooded long, causing him to harden against Prince Rhaegar.[40]
The next year, Prince Rhaegar kidnapped Lyanna,[7][40] which set in motion a chain of events that led to the war known as Robert's Rebellion.
Robert's Rebellion
News of the kidnapping led Lyanna Stark's eldest brother, Brandon, and later her father, Lord Rickard, to King's Landing demanding justice. Both were executed by order of King Aerys II Targaryen, who demanded that Lord Jon Arryn turn over Robert and Eddard to him. Jon refused, and rose up in rebellion instead, with Eddard (now Lord of Winterfell following the deaths of his father and older brother) and Robert rallying the north and the stormlands respectively.[33] Not all of Arryn's bannermen supported the rebellion, however. Robert fought at Gulltown, where Marq Grafton and other loyalists from the Vale blocked the port. Robert slew Grafton[41] and sailed back home to Storm's End to call his banners.[13][1]
However, some of his own remained loyal to the throne. When Robert learned that Lords Grandison, Cafferen, and Fell had gathered their hosts and planned to join forces at Summerhall in order to march on Storm's End, he rode ahead with his knights to Summerhall. He fought each of the lords in turn, defeating them all.[37] Robert returned to Storm's End with his captives, and there won the loyalty of Lords Cafferen and Grandison, as well as the loyalty of the deceased Lord Fell's son, Silveraxe.[37][42]
Free to march north so he could join forces with Jon Arryn and the northmen,[1] Robert marched out again, leaving his younger brother Stannis in charge of Storm's End. At Ashford, Lord Randyll Tarly fell upon Robert with his van, and defeated Robert's forces at the battle of Ashford, before Lord Mace Tyrell could arrive with the main force from the Reach.[43] Robert escaped capture with the bulk of his forces,[3] and continued his journey north. Aerys wanted someone young and vigorous to match Robert, and so named Jon Connington as his Hand of the King.[44][45] Connington personally led a mighty army into the field, giving chase to Robert. Robert's march became a grueling one.[3] He became wounded and separated from his men.[46][47] At the Stoney Sept, Robert took refuge.[46] When Connington and his army arrived at the town and began searching the houses, the residents actively aided Robert, keeping him hidden from the king's men. In the end, they even hid him in a brothel.[47] When Lords Eddard Stark, Hoster Tully, and Jon Arryn arrived with a rebel army and the battle of the Bells began Robert came out of the brothel in which he had been hiding and fought with Connington, almost killing him.[47] One of Robert's bastard children, Bella, fathered upon a whore in the whorehouse he had been hiding in, was named after the battle.[46]
King Aerys began to realize that Robert was the greatest threat to the Targaryen dynasty since Daemon I Blackfyre, and exiled Connington, naming Lord Qarlton Chelsted as his Hand of the King in Connington's stead.[48] To secure the aid of House Tully, Jon Arryn and Eddard Stark married Lord Hoster's daughters, Lysa and Catelyn.[7] Robert attended the wedding.[3]
Robert led the rebel forces during the battle of the Trident, the decisive battle at war's end. Around this time, Robert proclaimed his intention to claim the Iron Throne.[49] Out of all three leaders of the rebellion, Robert had the better claim,[15] due to the fact that his grandmother had been princess Rhaelle Targaryen, the youngest daughter of King Aegon V Targaryen.[50] To justify Robert's claim, the maesters would later use his bloodties to House Targaryen,[51] though it was conquest which won him the throne.
In 283 AC[N 1] the rebel forces and loyalist forces fought at a place that became known as the ruby ford, located on the northern bank of the Trident.[52] Robert and Prince Rhaegar Targaryen met in single combat, with the battle raging on all around them.[7] Rhaegar wounded Robert[13] before Robert killed Rhaegar with a blow to the chest from his warhammer.[7] Eventually, the Targaryen host broke and ran.[13] When Lord Roose Bolton advised Robert to execute Ser Barristan Selmy, a knight of Aerys' Kingsguard who had been severely wounded and taken captive, Robert refused, and instead had his own maester treat Selmy's wounds.[16]
Wounded and unable to chase the loyalists,[13][1] Robert gave the pursuit of the remnants of the Targaryen army to Eddard Stark. Leading the van, Eddard followed the loyalists back to King's Landing.[13][48] However, Lord Tywin Lannister had arrived earlier, with an army, and had begun to sack King's Landing. Aerys, his two grandchildren, and his daughter-in-law died in the battle.[13] After Robert arrived in King's Landing, Tywin presented him with the mutilated bodies of Elia Martell, Rhaegar's wife, and their two young children, Aegon and Rhaenys. While Robert was pleased they were dead, Eddard Stark was outraged and disgusted by the act, calling it murder, and saying the young prince and princess were no more than babes. Robert's response was, "I see no babes, only dragonspawn."[13] The argument led to Eddard leaving King's Landing the next day, to fight the final battles alone. It took the death of Lyanna and their shared grief to reunite the pair in friendship.[13] Robert was thereafter haunted by Lyanna's memory and the desire for further vengeance against the slain Rhaegar.[7]
Rebellion's aftermath
In late 283 AC, Robert was crowned king. He pardoned many of his former enemies. Robert appointed Ser Barristan Selmy as the Lord Commander of his Kingsguard. Despite Eddard Stark urging Robert to strip Ser Jaime Lannister of his white cloak, Robert listened to Jon Arryn's advice, and pardoned Jaime together with master of whisperers Varys and Grand Maester Pycelle,[53] and continued to serve in the Kingsguard along with Ser Barristan Selmy.[17] At his coronation feast, Robert joked to Jaime about the fact that Jaime was already being called "kingslayer".[48]
Robert tasked his brother Stannis with building a new fleet and capturing Dragonstone, the last Targaryen-loyalist stronghold, where the pregnant Dowager Queen Rhaella Targaryen and her son Viserys remained. Dragonstone was assaulted some nine months[N 2] after the battle of the Trident by Stannis, but Viserys and the newly-born Daenerys Targaryen had been smuggled from the island shortly before. Robert blamed Stannis for letting the Targaryen children escape, even though the two children had been spirited to safety by Targaryen loyalists shortly before Stannis had even set sail.[10][54][55]
Although peace returned to the Seven Kingdoms, not all supported Robert as king. By those, he was referred to as Usurper. Dorne never forgot or forgave the fact that Robert condoned the cold-blooded murders of Elia Martell and her two young children, Rhaenys and Aegon. The year after Robert took the throne, when Elia's younger brother Oberyn began plotting a rebellion in the name of Viserys, Lord Jon Arryn, Robert's new Hand of the King, travelled to Dorne, sat down with Doran Martell, the Prince of Dorne, and ended all talk of rebellion. Regardless, Robert never visited Dorne.[56]
As he now resided at his seat in King's Landing, Robert granted the ancestral Baratheon seat of Storm's End to his youngest brother, Renly, while naming his brother Stannis as Lord of Dragonstone. Both Stannis and Cersei Lannister believe that Robert intended this as a slight against Stannis,[10][55] but according to George R. R. Martin Robert had not necessarily meant it as such.[32] Dragonstone had traditionally been the seat of the heir to the Iron Throne, the Prince of Dragonstone, during most of the Targaryen Dynasty, so the then-childless Robert was granting it to his heir at that time, Stannis.[32] Now the Lord of Dragonstone, Stannis became the head of House Baratheon of Dragonstone.
Though he had no wish to marry after Lyanna's death, the realm needed an heir, and Jon Arryn suggested that Robert marry Cersei Lannister, the only daughter of Lord Tywin Lannister, to ensure political stability and Tywin's support should Viserys ever attempt to win back his throne.[15] Robert and Cersei were married in 284 AC[57] in the Great Sept of Baelor.[citation needed] A tourney was held to celebrate the wedding.[38] However, during their wedding night, a drunken Robert accidentally whispered, "Lyanna" into Cersei's ear whilst consummateing the marriage, an act that would set the tone for their marriage.[25] That night was the only night sex between Robert and Cersei was consentual.[6]
While Robert "claimed his rights" frequently during the early years of their marriage, his drinking led to him hurting Cersei during those encounters. When she confronted him once during their first year of marriage, Robert claimed it was because of the drink, and he was not to blame. According to Robert, he did not remember anything of those nights, but according to Cersei, Robert did recall what he did to her, but felt that pretending to have forgotten was easier than facing the truth. Over time, Robert came to Cersei's bed less frequently, not even once a year.[6] Cersei began to loath her husband,[17] and her cold attitude towards him created a distance between them.[15] Meanwhile, Robert remained in love with Lyanna Stark for years after her death,[58] further placing a strain upon the marriage. Robert preferred to drink, feast, and whore, Robert sired several bastards during his marriage to Cersei, though kept them out of sight. Robert once suggested bringing a bastard daughter of his to court after his son Joffrey assaulted a pregnant cat. When his wife threatened the girl's life, Robert hit her, but refrained from for bringing her to court.[59] During the wedding of his younger brother Stannis to Lady Selyse of House Florent, Robert deflowered Delena Florent, a cousin of Selyse, on the wedding bed. According to Robert, he was too drunk to know which bed it was. This coupling led to the birth of Edric Storm, the only officially acknowledged bastard of the king.[29]
Cersei had had an incestuous relationship with her twin brother Jaime for years, and they continued their illicit relationship after Cersei's marriage to Robert. Although Robert was forever imploring Cersei to join him on his hunts in the early years of their marriage, Cersei consistently refused, although she urged him to go, as she could be with her brother in his absence.[60] Two of Robert's uncles had spent half a year at court following his wedding, and Robert insisted on repaying the visit. They remained on Greenstone for a fortnight. There, Robert slept with his cousin, and upon learning this fact, Cersei had sex with Jaime whilst in the castle.[20]
Cersei gave birth to three children: Joffrey, born in 286 AC, Myrcella, born in 289 AC, and Tommen, born in 290 AC.[61] Though everyone, including Robert, believed them to be Robert's children, Jaime is the biological father of all three.[25] Robert did not attend any of the births; Whenever Cersei's time was due, he left for a hunt, returning only after the birth.[62] Cersei became pregnant by Robert only once. Refusing to give birth to Robert's child, she had Jaime find a woman to cleanse her.[25]
Six years after taking the crown, Robert joined forces with his Warden of the North, Eddard Stark, and his Warden of the West, Tywin Lannister, to crush Greyjoy's Rebellion. The rebellion lasted less than a year, and ended in Robert's victory. When Balon Greyjoy was brought before him in chains, the ironman told Robert that, since he had never sworn any vow to any Baratheon, he could not be named a traitor. Robert had Greyjoy swear his allegiance, and was allowed to remain Lord of Pyke.[63] To celebrate his victory, Robert ordained that a tourney should be held outside Lannisport.[64]
Robert did not like his kingship;[16] According to Donal Noye, Robert changed by becoming king, and not for the better.[65] Business concerning coin, crop, or justice bored him.[22] He barely attended the small council sessions,[22][30][17] preferring to hunt and hawk instead, [20][17] and when he did attend, he usually dozed through them.[20] He left the task of ruling to his small council,[22] mostly to Jon Arryn, his Hand, and Stannis Baratheon, his brother.[20][10] He loathed "counting copers" tedious,[22][13] but loved to organize tournaments and feasts, and so beggared the realm.[22] Despite the fact that Aerys II had left treasure vaults overflowing with gold, Robert's spending eventually left the crown in debt of over six million golden dragons (borrowing heavily from the Lannisters, the Tyrells, the Faith, and the Iron Bank of Braavos).[22]
Though Robert loved him,[15] he did not have a close bond with his heir Joffrey.[34] Robert disliked the fact that Joffrey always cried when he picked him up as a babe, as his bastard children gurgled at him happily.[62] Nor Robert was not fond of Joffrey's nature;[15] Once, Joffrey had cut open a pregnant cat to see if there truly were kittens inside its belly; When the boy had gone to Robert to show him what he'd done, Robert hit him so hard, he knocked out two of the boy's teeth.[66][67] Robert claims he has dreamed of giving up his crown, but that the thought of Joffrey on the throne with Cersei whispering in his ear has stopped him.[15]
Due to his frequent whoring, Robert also sired several bastards. According to a prophecy by Maggy the Frog, Robert has fathered sixteen children.[68] However, Robert has acknowledged only one of them,[15] and Varys knows only of the existence of eight.[69] The eldest, Mya Stone, was born to him while he was still in the Vale.[15] Bella was conceived during Robert's Rebellion,[46] and Gendry shortly after the rebellion had ended, to a worker in an alehouse in King's Landing. According to Petyr Baelish, Robert also fathered twins on a serving woman at Casterly Rock who were killed on the orders of Queen Cersei.[29] Edric Storm, born to Delena Florent, is Robert's only acknowledged bastard,[29] The youngest of Robert's baseborn children is Barra, a babe born to a prostitute in King's Landing.[29] Ser Justin Massey squired for Robert, and developed his lustiness during this time;[70] The king's current squires are Lancel and Tyrek Lannister, cousins of Queen Cersei.[15]
Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
When his Hand of the King, Lord Jon Arryn, dies suddenly, Robert travels to Winterfell to offer the position to his old childhood friend, Lord Eddard Stark, and offers a betrothal between his own son Joffrey and Eddard's eldest daughter, Sansa. Eddard is shocked how much Robert has changed since he last saw him, at the end of the Greyjoy Rebellion.[7] Eddard accepts the position of Hand and moves to King's Landing.[71] On their way to King's Landing, Robert confesses to Eddard that he dreams about giving up his crown and journeying to the Free Cities as a sellsword to spend his life warring and whoring, believing that is what he was made for; Only the thought of his heir, Joffrey, on the Iron Throne with his mother, Cersei, whispering in his ear keeps Robert from indulging his fantasy.[13] In the Barrowlands, Robert discusses the marriage of Princess Daenerys Targaryen to the Dothraki Khal Drogo, and is uncertain about Eddard's opinion that the marriage does not represent a danger.[13] At Castle Darry, after his son Joffrey has been attacked by Arya Stark's direwolf, Nymeria, he is willing to call the incident simply an argument between two children. As the direwolf has disappeared, the beast cannot be executed. When Queen Cersei Lannister suggests Sansa Stark's direwolf, Lady, is executed instead, Robert does nothing to stop it, despite loathing the suggestion.[72]
Robert does not wish to face Eddard and spends the remaining fortnight of the journey drunk in Queen Cersei's wheelhouse.[22] He decides to host a tourney for Eddard's appointment as Hand of the King,[22] in which he plans to fight himself, loudly shouting at Cersei when she openly attempts to forbid him.[73] Eddard and Ser Barristan Selmy convince him that the fight would be unfair, as every contestant would let their king win, which angers Robert, as it touches on his pride. He eventually does not participate in the melee.[15] Lord Varys later tells Eddard that Cersei had planned to have Robert killed during the melee.[15]
When Robert calls a meeting to demand the death of the pregnant Daenerys Targaryen, who is in exile, Eddard refuses to be a part of it and resigns his position in protest.[16] After Eddard is injured in an ambush led by Ser Jaime Lannister,[29] Cersei's twin brother, Robert visits his friend and gives him back his badge of office, stating that if Eddard refuses to take it, Robert will pin it on Jaime.[12] While Robert is gone hunting, Eddard comes to the realization that Robert's children are actually Cersei's bastards born of incest with her brother, Jaime.[25] Knowing that Robert will kill Cersei and the children in his wroth, Eddard confronts her, offering her the ability to flee.[25] Cersei rejects.
Cersei had given Robert's squire Lancel Lannister a fortified strongwine, three times as potent as normal, to give to Robert.[17] While hunting a monstrous large boar, Robert drinks the strongwine and becomes very drunk. He insists on facing the boar alone when they find it, but is mortally gored in the process.[14] Robert is brought back to King's Landing, where he has Eddard write him his will. Robert names him Lord Regent and Protector of the Realm, to serve until Joffrey comes of age. Eddard, unable to tell Robert about Cersei's infidelity, changes the wording in Robert's will, replacing "my son Joffrey" with "my heir".[14] Robert dies the next day.[74] The bells of the Great Sept of Baelor toll in the city to announce his death.[75]
According to Lord Varys, if it had not been the boar which killed Robert, it would have been a fall from a horse or an arrow gone astray, as Cersei needed Robert to die during the hunt.[5] When King Joffrey I Baratheon wishes to punish someone for his father's death, Varys suggests that Ser Barristan Selmy, the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, be blamed.[17] Joffrey forces Barristan into retirement, replacing him with Jaime as Lord Commander and allowing Sandor Clegane to be added to the Kingsguard.[76]

At Qarth, Daenerys Targaryen learns of Robert's death and the subsequent chaos nearly half a year after the fact.[77]

Quotes about Robert
The king was a great disappointment to Jon. His father had talked of him often: the peerless Robert Baratheon, demon of the Trident, the fiercest warrior of the realm, a giant among princes. Jon saw only a fat man, red-faced under his beard, sweating through his silks. He walked like a man half in his cups.[9]
– thoughts of Jon Snow
Robert was never the same after he put on that crown. Some men are like swords, made for fighting. Hang them up and they go to rust.[65]
– Donal Noye to Jon Snow
They said Robert Baratheon was strong as a bull and fearless in battle, a man who loved nothing better than war.[23]
– thoughts of Daenerys Targaryen
– Cersei Lannister to Sansa Stark
Robert ... He is in my dreams as well. Laughing. Drinking. Boasting. Those were the things he was best at. Those, and fighting. I never bested him at anything.[42]
– Stannis Baratheon suggesting to Melisandre that Robert should have been the champion of R'hllor
It's not Aerys I rue, it's Robert ... Why is it no one names Robert oathbreaker? He tore the realm apart, yet I am the one with shit for honor.[48]
– Jaime Lannister to Brienne of Tarth
Arys: Robert was no monster.
Arianne: He climbed onto his throne over the corpses of children, though I will grant you he was no Joffrey.[79]
– Arys Oakheart and Arianne Martell
We all know what my brother would do. Robert would gallop up to the gates of Winterfell alone, break them with his warhammer, and ride through the rubble to slay Roose Bolton with his left hand and the Bastard with his right. I am not Robert. But we will march, and we will free Winterfell … or die in the attempt.[80]

John Muir Health Pilots Early Warning System For Heart Attack Patients
Clinical trial will evaluate implantable device's safety and effectiveness in reducing delays in seeking care and improving heart attack survival rates in high-risk patients
Walnut Creek, CA (February 26, 2013) - Reducing the time it takes heart attack patients to receive treatment significantly increases their chances of survival and minimizes long-term damage to the heart and brain.
John Muir Health's Clinical Research Center recently began a clinical trial to test the effectiveness and safety of an implantable cardiac monitor and alert system that acts as an early warning system. The device is designed to reduce the time it takes patients to get to the emergency room during an impending heart attack.
John Muir Health is one of the first medical facilities in the country to participate in the ALERTS US trial for the AngelMed Guardian implantable cardiac monitor and alert system (Guardian System). Patients potentially eligible for the study include those who have been diagnosed with unstable angina or who, within the past six months, have had a heart attack, undergone coronary artery bypass surgery or are scheduled for that surgery within the next six months.
"The Guardian System is designed to track significant changes in the heart's electrical signal," said Ayman Hosny, M.D., a cardiologist at John Muir Health and principal investigator for the ALERTS trial. "When someone has a heart attack, it is typically the result of a blood clot closing one of the three major coronary arteries. When this happens, there is a shift in the heart's electrical signal. Notification of that shift can be the difference between a debilitating, even fatal, heart attack and life-saving treatment."
According to David Fischell, Ph.D., CEO, AngelMed, the objective of the ALERTS trial is to test the Guardian System's ability to detect this electrical shift and provide an early warning system to patients.
The AngelMed Guardian System is comprised of an internal implantable device, a standard pacemaker lead and an external telemetry device. The device monitors the heart's electrical signal 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week looking for changes that may indicate the heart is not getting enough oxygen, which may lead to a heart attack. When the implanted monitor detects a potential heart attack, it vibrates, alerting the person to take action. In addition to the vibration, it communicates with a pager-sized device that both beeps and flashes, letting the person know that they need to either call their doctor or 911.
Once the person is at the hospital, their doctor can retrieve information collected by the implanted device to a computer. This information can help the doctor determine the best course of action in providing treatment and care.
According to the American Heart Association, one out of every six deaths in the United States is attributable to coronary heart disease. Each year, an estimated 785,000 Americans will have a new coronary attack, and 470,000 will have a recurrent attack. Approximately every 34 seconds, an American will have a heart attack. It is also estimated that an additional 195,000 people annually will have a silent heart attack with few, if any, symptoms.
"If the Guardian system proves to be effective in early detection and warning of potentially life-threatening heart conditions, we may be able to shift the model of care for high-risk patients to focus on early intervention at the onset of a heart attack," said Dr. Hosny.
For more information on the AngelMed Guardian System or participation in the ALERTS study, contact the John Muir Health Clinical Research Center at (925) 674-2580.

A Business Internship in China will give you a unique insight into the fusion of Western-style Capitalism and Eastern-style Communism.
As one of the world's most rapidly growing economies and with increasing foreign investments, China has an ever-expanding portfolio when it comes to world trade. Its massive revenue is generated from core industries and exports that include machinery, plastics, iron, a vast array of consumer products, shipping and even commercial space launch vehicles!
The Chinese language is also gaining prominence around the world as more and more people recognise the use in being able to speak it. China is a major force to be reckoned with, both now and in the future.
There are many opportunities for those who wish to study or work within one of the key sectors that China currently trades in. For students who are on a gap-year and looking to be accepted onto a business course at university, or for those looking for employment in a particular sector of the business world, a Business Internship in China offers access to the work experience that will make you stand out from the crowd.
All Business interns live and work in the vibrant, modern cities of Chengdu and Shanghai.
Business work-experience opportunities with Projects Abroad in China
We organise work experience programmes in a number of business sectors. These include areas such as marketing, PR, accountancy, finance, fashion, hospitality management, IT, real estate, environmental energy, architecture and consultancy. Developing placements in other business areas is often possible - just ask!
The city of Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan Province in south western China. Home to over 14 million people, Chengdu is one of China's most important economic and communication centres. The city is home to many new investors and up-and coming businesses, and offers a wide variety of opportunities to any business student, with businesses developing at a rapid pace.
Shanghai is one of the world's largest city based economies, a 21st-century metropolis where all the world's major businesses can be found. Shanghai's famous finance and enterprise zone, Pudong, has expanded massively in the last few years. A huge amount of foreign investment has changed this area into a packed skyline, home to some of the world's richest companies.
Volunteering on a Business Internship Placement in China
As an intern in Chengdu or Shanghai on one of our Business Internship Placements, you can provide effective and constructive help working on a variety of projects. Offices are often located in ultra-modern high-rise buildings.
During the placement, interns are expected to be punctual, professional and hard-working. You will be required to work an average of 35 hours per week, usually Monday-Friday. When you arrive at work on your first day, you will be assigned a supervisor who will be able to advise and support you during your placement, and of course our Projects Abroad staff are always available to support you throughout your placement.
The work you do will depend on the placement but be prepared to be challenged! You will get involved with the day-to-day activities of the office whether it be contacting different clients, working with business support teams, researching for current or future projects, putting together portfolios, attending meetings or working on set briefs.
The working day is split in two by a lunch break during which time everyone in the office will usually head out to eat together. It is at these times when you can really get to know your colleagues and gain an insight into their culture. In turn your colleagues will be interested to learn about you and your culture. They will also be keen to practice their spoken English on you, so you might find yourself teaching a few informal English lessons at times.
No matter where you are placed in the Chinese business world, your input will be greatly encouraged and appreciated, especially if you prove to be adaptable and willing.

Chess Match: Game 54
Breaking down a key moment in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Rays…
The situation: The Blue Jays are holding a 5-4 lead in the bottom of the ninth with two outs and the bases loaded. Closer Kevin Gregg has already walked four batters, forcing in one run. Sean Rodriguez is at the plate for the Rays.
The decision: Manager Cito Gaston sticks with Gregg.
The outcome: Gregg gives up a bases-clearing double to Rodriguez to hand the Rays a 7-5 lead. The right-hander then issues a fifth walk in the inning, convincing Gaston to pull Gregg from the game. On his way to the clubhouse, Gregg argues with home-plate ump Angel Hernandez and is ejected from the game. Toronto loses, 7-6. Gregg's final line: two-thirds of an inning, one hit, four runs, five walks, one error, one wild pitch, two strikeouts, 40 pitches, 14 strikes.
The analysis: This was hardly Gregg's first rough showing of the season. Entering the game, the veteran righty had actually allowed seven runs on 13 hits with eight walks over his past 9 1/3 innings, stretching over his last 10 appearances. Gregg had six saves and two blown saves over that stretch.
One problem was that Jays starter Brian Tallet was on a pitch count of around 85 for this game — his first off the disabled list. After 82 pitches, Tallet was pulled. Before Gaston even got to Gregg, he had burned through Casey Janssen, Jason Frasor, Shawn Camp and Scott Downs. That left David Purcey and Rommie Lewis as the only alternatives.
Gaston had Lewis warming up in the bullpen, but the manager will always stick with his veteran guys over bringing in a rookie in a tight situation. Gregg is Toronto's closer and that means Gaston will lean toward a show of faith rather than managing in a reactionary fashion. Gregg had one out to get and a force at every base.
The comments:
"You know what, he's the guy. You have to go with him. You've got two kids in the bullpen out there left — Lewis and Purcey. You're going to stick with your veteran there. The situation didn't really come up. He got the left-hander out. Sometimes you have to go with your guy until you either win it or lose it. That was the case tonight." — Gaston
My verdict: It is easy to second guess a manager after a player has an awful showing like Gregg had tonight. Gaston could have stuck with Downs, but that shows a lack of faith in the guy dubbed "the closer." Gaston could've pulled Gregg earlier, but what message does it send by turning to one of the young pitchers? There are still four months left and it is as much about managing players as it is managing games.
Gregg had performed better in his past three appearances, too. Were they perfect? No. But he had shown improvement. Gaston said Gregg will likely get a few days off — Wednesday for sure, followed by a team off-day on Thursday and maybe he'll have Friday off as well — so maybe that can give him time to work through some of his issues of late.

Throw strikes, Kevin, please, just throw strikes. Our great defense can't help if you walk people. Make them hit.
This is what got Cito fired before, he's always had a reputation for leaving guys in too long and it shows tonight, Cito thinks players are supermen or something, hard to win games when you have Cito who only cares about veterans.
Not sure if any of you know about this site but I thought some of you might be interested
The word "rested" is not suppose to be attached on the end so lets try this again :
or just go to the site is interesting
Kudos to Tallet , he pitched a good game . He got into a few problems but managed to pitch his way out of them . The umpiring this year hasn't improved . A-Gon's "HR" in Boston was just that a HR …not a double and that pitch to Ortiz was outside but maybe it was a gift after the umps stole the HR call . Last night Gregg didn't have his best stuff but home plate ump Hernandez didn't do him any favours either . Maddon, even after being tossed, continued to rant and rave to both Hernandez and West and I am sure any focus Gregg may have had, was totally lost while he waited for that to be over . I was surprised to see Gregg even come in after throwing around 40 pitches the night before . Part of this debacle has to be placed on Gaston's shoulders . He continually uses the same relievers over and over again . Janssen looked lost out there but then when was the last time he was used in a game . One thing you can say , the Jays never give up. Lets hope last night's devastating loss doesn't squash that attitude . It should be a good pitchers duel (as long as the umps do they their job properly ) ….GO JAYS
One major point everyone seems to be missing is the fact the Jays played two games against the best team in baseball..We had arguably our 5th and 6th starters out there against their top two and so far we've split the series…I expect 99.9% of all fans never expected the Jays to win 1 of the first two games of this series, hanging all their hopes on Marcum's start today to come out 1-3 in the series…..
TB has had the Jays number for 3-4 years, and yes last nights loss wasn't pretty. All closers blow up, and the Jays should know that better than anyone since they've been on the exploding end this year much more than the explosion..In the end placing the blame doesn't matter, we lost as a team….
Personally I think the team took a lot of positives from this game last night, when they sit back and think about it in the cool light of the day…They know know they can hang with the best team in baseball, they haven't been able to do that for years.
Congratulations to Brad Emaus on his promotion to AAA Vegas yesterday, and hitting his first home run in his very first game…….
AAA has done a great job restructuring the minor league system . Hopefully he continues to do so in the draft but even though none of us like to admit it , you have to give some credit to Riccardi for most of the players we have in the minor leagues now and for some of the talent we have on the field . Jays are looking good
Jays are a team perfectly suited to go cloer-by-committee. They don't have a Mo Rivera type of shutdown closer, so they need to optimize their efficiency in the late innings by playing the matchups with a combination of Gregg and Downs. If it means bringing in Gregg to pitch a tough 8th, then do it. Too many teams are all caught up in having a "closer". They need to play to win, check the egos.
Go Jays!
I wouldn't get all that carried away about JP, Indigo..lol, what has made a huge difference in the minors, imo, is the different player development group AA has put into place, I particularly like Sal Fasano the Lansing manager and look forward to him managing up here some day in he future. Anyone with that kind of mustache has got to be a good guy, lol.
In addition, the different coaches, etc. have done a great job in turning some failing prospects around…I also like that the same hitting and pitching philosophy embraced here is also embraced right down to the lowest minor league level..
Now a good draft and some high ceiling international signings and we will finally have some real prospects at every level…The future is bright-no question.

Obama climate call may buy EPA time
President Barack Obama's speech Tuesday night further raised hopes that he is prepared to take action on climate change — but probably not right away.
Instead, the president put most of the onus on an all-but-paralyzed Congress, with the threat that if lawmakers don't act, Obama will order agencies across his administration to come up with ways to address global warming "for the sake of our children and our future."
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: Scenes from Obama State of the Union 2013)
Obama offered no details on those potential actions and didn't even mention the EPA, whose regulations on power plants and other greenhouse gas sources will almost surely be at the forefront of his climate agenda.
Still, it was a strong enough call to action to appease most climate advocates, even those who had said in the days leading up to the speech that they wanted Obama to lay out a detailed plan of attack.
"It's not that explicit. But it almost is," said Daniel J. Weiss, a senior fellow at the liberal Center for American Progress. He predicted that when Obama asks his Cabinet agencies for a climate strategy, "what EPA is going to say back is you can implement the Clean Air Act to reduce carbon pollution from power plants and other major industrial sources. And that's basically what the environmental community has been asking for."
Other greens were disappointed not to hear more, however — for example, on whether Obama plans to approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline, a Canada-to-Texas project that has drawn laser fire from climate activists.
"While we are excited to hear the president connect the dots between climate change and increasingly severe weather, accurately explaining the problem is not nearly enough," said the climate activist group Forecast the Facts. "Tonight, President Obama set the lowest possible bar for action. … In fact, he pledged no specific actions at all."
EPA is already preparing to act, however — even if Obama didn't mention it Tuesday night. The agency has proposed regulations that would restrict greenhouse gas pollution from new power plants, and is widely expected to follow with rules on existing plants. Both steps, especially the second one, would have a big impact on the future of coal-fired power in the U.S.
Rich Gold, a former aide to Clinton EPA Administrator Carol Browner, said Obama is smart to give deference to lawmakers in the short term, knowing that the rulemaking process will take a while.
"It's a parallel track," said Gold, now a partner at the law firm Holland & Knight. "All of this stuff is going to take time to move it. And so you're basically saying, 'Congress, go ahead and have at it as you've done in a bipartisan way in the past.'"
Some of Obama's supporters in Congress lauded his approach in the hours before the speech, saying he doesn't need any further permission from the Hill to take on the issue. They point out that under a series of court rulings, the EPA has huge power to clamp down on greenhouse gases.
"All we need is for the EPA to continue to do what they must do to contain carbon emissions under the Clean Air Act," Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), chairwoman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, told reporters Tuesday afternoon. Boxer added, "If he carries out the law, we're going to do what we have to do."
She said it would be fine if Obama didn't give a specific shout-out to EPA in his big speech.
"Actions speak louder than words," Boxer said.

I grew up Catholic, left off practice of my faith, then wandered around several churches before coming back. It just seemed like the preaching I was hearing treated the Bible like Ann Landers, and people wanted to be soothed rather than challenged. There would be preaching and singing but no Eucharist. It's like foreplay without consummation.
The one time I was handed a tray of cut up Wonder Bread and shot glasses of grape juice, I asked the person sitting next to me, "What is this?" They answered, "Bread and grape juice." I passed the tray without taking any.
At that time, I didn't even really explicitly, consciously know the doctrine of the Real Presence but I knew it in my bones, and I knew that was a pale imitation. I thought, I don't care if there is a world-class university professor organist here, a shot glass of grape juice just shattered my illusions. These people can't even share a communion cup, what can they teach me about loving my neighbor?
My Dad had taught me years ago about shadow and substance. I felt like I was in the land of shadows–pale imitations. Only Catholicism and Orthodoxy have substance–the Real thing.
If it's not the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of God's dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, then…to hell with it. (paraphrasing Flannery O'Connor)

Pokémon is practically a cultural institution. Every true child of the '90s knows every word to the theme song, lost a lot of their parents' money on the trading card game, and spent many dozens of hours testing playground rumors in the videogames.
Black 2 and White 2 are the latest handheld entries in the main series. Being the first direct sequels already represents a pretty significant break from the norm in a franchise that is notoriously resistant to change.
After 15 years, many of the mechanics are starting to show their age, despite the constant refinement. With almost 650 Pokémon now, the time investment is beyond reasonable for the average player. Still, Game Freak has done its best to keep things fresh, deep, and approachable -- a balancing act few can maneuver successfully. The developer falls short a bit too often, but manages another worthy, if at times frustrating, entry.
Pokémon Black and White 2 (Nintendo DS)
Developer: Game Freak
Publisher: Nintendo
Release: October 7, 2012
Playing a new Pokémon game for many people tends to be a war with their own nostalgia. Every time a new title in the core series of games is released, fans of the originals become rabid children and flock to the new game in a desperate attempt to "Catch 'em all" -- a task which gets exponentially more difficult with each generation. It's a roller coaster of sentimentality that messed with my head a bit. For the first few hours, I went back and forth between belting the Pokémon show theme song and practically yelling at the DS for not telling me what to do and where to go.
BW2 needs some kind of recap feature or journal or something. NPCs will often mention to go find certain things, but it never explicitly tells me where they are. There are so many random buildings and people wandering around everywhere that it's impossible to know at first glance what is and isn't important.
Important names are only in the last lines of the dialogue with NPCs and never mentioned again. I have no way to look it up, no way to find a hint, no way to get some kind of reminder, even. Every now and then, people just walk up to me and hand me items without any explanation or context. No one tells me what I need to get through which area or how, or even the general direction I should be going. Black and White had a fairly linear path. This sequel, on the other hand, seems to just send you off with all of your options apparently available, but not really showing you where you can and cannot go until you try.
I've also noticed that it's harder to use only one Pokémon in this game. It's the first time I've ever had problems with that strategy. I'm being forced to pick up other Pokémon and use them because I simply don't have the ability to learn any decent moves.
While initially frustrating, this actually makes me glad in a way. For years I've been playing this game in a really cheap, easy, shortcut-y way and this is the first time I've seen some real effort to balance the trainer and wild Pokémon distribution in such a way that my old, rather boring strategy is totally unusable. Kudos, Game Freak. You did something right. Conniving bastards. Sucking me in again...
Despite these extensive, nagging complaints, I'm really surprised at how well the core Pokémon formula continues to hold up. With minor tweaks, the basic game becomes exponentially more complex over time while simultaneously being simple enough that children can get into it and appreciate the basics.
The entire game is centered around the core theme of growth and gradual maturity as well, reinforcing the appeal to younger audiences. Most people started playing Pokémon when they were young and had little agency in the world, but by tapping the dream of growing up and being more and more important within a relatively small time frame is a powerful appeal to kids.
It seems then, as the Pokémon generation ages, the nostalgia is reinforced by this longing to fulfill those same childhood dreams that were planted in our minds back in the '90s. Wow. This has to be some really sick, decade-long marketing scheme ... it's genius. Maybe Nintendo and Game Freak are actually Team Rocket.
If so, they've managed to create another compelling installment in the long-running franchise. Pokémon embodies the maxim "easy to learn, hard to master." Even after 15 years, I still only know a small portion of what I potentially could. While I don't have the time or the patience to dedicate to that endeavor, it's comforting to know that even in what is, ostensibly, a children's game, that if I chose to take that leap, I would have something substantive on which to land. Unfortunately, that same level of refinement and care cannot be found in the narrative.
Black and White attempted to tackle several legitimate moral issues with their plot -- and they were, more or less, the first games in the series to do so. They posed a question which any legitimately moral individual inhabiting the world of Pokémon would eventually have to ask themselves: is it okay to capture small animals and force them to fight one another for sport?
For most, the answer is a resounding "no." However, Black and White backed away from the implications of the very question they raised, and I'm sad to say that their sequels are no different in that regard.
Normally, I could forgive Pokémon for so poorly handling a fairly legitimate moral issue, but the plot has been so deeply integrated, and spans such a large portion of the game that I really can't let it go. It feels like I have been tantalized with a potentially subversive, thought-provoking game that never appears. In that sense, Black and White 2 are clearly the products of Nintendo. The paired titles hint at so much more than they are, that when the whole journey is over, I'm left wanting what could have been.
Most people won't care, though, and for those folks, Black and White 2 represent a perfectly adequate, even addictive sequel that falls a bit short short of its full potential. Then again, at some point, a giant, flying, solar-powered pirate ship shows up and freezes whole cities with an ice laser. So... take the good with the bad.

No matter how you look at it, paying off California's $340 billion of debt wouldn't be easy. You'd have to spend the state's entire general fund budget for three and a half years. Or you'd need 75 years of the current projected state budget surplus. Or, you'd have to charge every Californian $8,500.
"It can sound like a very wonky accounting sort of thing," says Ryan Miller of the non-partisan Legislative Analyst's Office, with the understatement of the week. His report says Governor Jerry Brown and state lawmakers should quit procrastinating now that the economy has improved – and start paying that money back.
"These liabilities have a real effect on the amount of funds that are available for other programs in the budget, like Medi-Cal and like other health and human services programs. So it's in the state's interest to begin paying these down in a cost-effective manner," Miller says - starting with the California State Teachers Retirement System, which could cost an extra $5 billion a year.

The Raiders signed former Green Bay Packers linebacker Vic So'oto Tuesday and waived Carl Iheanacho, the club announced.
So'oto, 6-foot-2, 255 pounds, played in seven games with the Packers last season after being an undrafted free agent out of Brigham Young. He was placed on injured reserve Aug. 31 with an ankle injury and released Sept. 10 following an injury settlement.
A second cousin of Junior Seau, So'oto had seven tackles and one sack for Green Bay last season, playing on special teams and defense.
Ihenacho, out of San Jose State, a defensive end by trade, moved to linebacker this season and played sparingly through three games.
The Raiders also released defensive tackle Vaughn Meatoga from their practice squad.
Wide receiver Tori Gurley sent out a Tweet saying that he signed with the Raiders. A team spokesperson said no announcement was forthcoming Tuesday.

Back by popular demand…first posted this back on July 1, 2010.
DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY, As Trustee of Ameriquest Mortgage Securities, Inc., Asset-Backed Pass Through Certificates, Series 2004-X3, Under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement Dated as of September 1, 2004, Without Recourse, Plaintiff-Appellant,
DAVID J. GAUPP, ALEXANDRA C. GAUPP, NATHAN PARTON and SPOUSE OF NATHAN PARTON, REBEKAH J. BARTON and SPOUSE OF REBEKAH J. BARTON, WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., and PARTIES IN POSSESSION,, Defendants-Appellees.
No. 0-272/09-0700.
Court of Appeals of Iowa.
Filed June 30, 2010.
On October 21, 2008, the Partons and Wells Fargo filed a motion for summary judgment asserting that (1) the mortgage held by Deutsche Bank was invalid; and (2) the mortgage held by Deutsche Bank could not be foreclosed because the Partons were bona fide purchasers for value. On February 12, 2009, the district court issued its ruling finding that the Gaupps and Granger conveyed their interest in the property to G & G Properties on July 3, 2002, and when G & G Properties recorded the deed on September 24, 2002, it became the record titleholder. Gaupp did not have any interest in the property when he executed the mortgage in favor of Ameriquest/Deutsche Bank and after the mortgage was executed, Gaupp never obtained title to the property. G & G Properties did not convey the property to anyone prior to May 19, 2006, when the Partons purchased the property. As a result, the mortgage held by Deutsche Bank was "null and void." The district court granted the Partons and Wells Fargo's motion for summary judgment and dismissed the petition for foreclosure. Deutsche Bank appeals.
Deutsche Bank asserts that the district court erred in granting the defendants' motion for summary judgment. The parties do not dispute that at the time Gaupp executed the promissory note and mortgage, he did not hold title to the property and that G & G Properties was the record titleholder. Deutsche Bank cannot avoid the fundamental principal that a party that has no interest in a particular piece of real property cannot validly mortgage that property. See, e.g., Lee v. Lee, 207 Iowa 882, 885, 223 N.W. 888, 890 (Iowa 1929) (holding a mortgage invalid because the mortgagor had no interest in the property at the time the mortgage was given); 59 C.J.S. Mortgages § 111, at 102-03 (2009) (discussing that "[o]ne who has no ownership interest in property has no right to mortgage it" and if one does so, the mortgage creates no interest in the property). At the time Gaupp obtained the loan from Ameriquest, he did not have any interest in the property and therefore, the mortgage instrument attempting to secure the promissory note was invalid.
Deutsche Bank argues that Gaupp acquired title to the property on December 31, 2003, when the Gaupps and Granger executed the "Corrected Warranty Deed," which Deutsche Bank further argues resulted in the mortgage becoming valid.[ 3 ] However, this argument fails because Gaupp did not acquire an interest in the property when the "Corrected Warranty Deed" was executed on December 31, 2003. On July 3, 2002, the Gaupps and Granger conveyed the property to G & G Properties. After this conveyance, Gaupp had no interest in the property and could not convey the property to anyone. See Iowa Code § 557.3 (2007) ("Every conveyance of real estate passes all the interest of the grantor therein, unless a contrary intent can be reasonably inferred from the terms used."). After the July 3, 2002 conveyance, only G & G Properties was able to convey title to the property. Any such attempt by Gaupp to do so would be and was invalid as he was no longer the titleholder. Therefore, the attempts by the Gaupps and Granger to convey the property on December 31, 2003, and February 2, 2005, were not valid conveyances.[ 4 ] Additionally, because the invalid conveyances were outside the chain of title, they were stray deeds when recorded. See William Stoebuck and Dale Whitman, The Law of Property § 11.11 (3rd ed. 2000) ("The term `chain of title' is a shorthand way of describing the collection of documents which one can find by the use of the ordinary techniques of title search."); 1 C.J.S. Abstracts of Title § 15, at 320 n.8 (2009) ("Instrument executed by owner [that] is recorded before acquisition or after relinquishment of title by owner is outside chain of title . . . .").[ 5 ] Title remained with G & G Properties from July 3, 2002 until May 5, 2006, when G & G Properties conveyed its solely held interest in the property to the Partons. Therefore the chain of title went from G & G Properties to the Partons. Gaupp did not have title to the property when he executed the mortgage instrument now held by Deutsche Bank nor did he subsequently obtain title. We affirm the district court's findings and ruling.
