Find a Financial Advisor in your area.
Search over 9,000 Advisors
Use the search facility above or navigate by the financial topic you need advice on. Advisors are also listed by County and Town at the bottom of this page. Here you will find a comprehensive list of Financial Advisors across the UK who are registered with the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) and authorised to give personal financial advice. Once you have found a local Financial Advisor, you can contact them by simply completing the enquiry form found on their profile page.
Why use a Financial Advisor or a Mortgage Advisor?
Regulated by the FCA, (Financial Conduct Authority), Financial Advisors are required to have comprehensive knowledge and understanding of your financial circumstances BEFORE they offer any advice regarding services or products. Are you aware that there are some financial products available only through the Advisor network and not through, say, High Street Banks? IFAs and Tied-Agents have extensive contacts with all the major insurance companies, pension providers and mortgage lenders enabling them to offer you the range of products most suited to your needs. Liaising with a local professional could be a sensible option as opposed to dealing with a remote call centre possibly thousands of miles away.

text: AnonymousSolution 4 Floyd vs. Pacman to fight. The judge should keep Floyd in jail 4 couple of years to teach him a lesson. And the only way he can get out of jail early is to fight the Pacman manny paquiao. Instead of running around from Pacman manny paquiao this is the only way for Floyd to deside either out or stay. Posted December 7, 2012 7:16 amAnonymousTrout proved be no joke. Why not Trout fight Canelo? Thurman fight the Ghost? Pac Man if he wins his up comming fight the winner of all these fight, call out Mayweather. I am Mayweather fan, but I'm a boxing fan first, and in any sport the best go up against the best. I feel cheated that the so called best don't fight the best. I'm just saying, Marvin Hagler fought everybody, Thomas Hearns, Ray Leonard, Donald Curry, the list could go on. Point I'm making is that I'm sure money has a big part of it, but if your the best and you'he been in this sport all your life. Why wouldn't you want to see who could be better than you in this sweet science. Or is it really all bout the money and being the true best come second, and all us true boxing fans are just out of luck to see the true best in this era. Posted December 4, 2012 2:05 amTARKMerchant is no matchmaker… The absolute dumbest thing Floyd could do after his tough fight with Cotto at age 35 is to fight Canelo, Martinez, or Trout at 154 — at age 36… Is Floyd dumb? … Not about business or selecting opponents. Robert Guerrero is the perfect opponent for Floyd right now, and they both want the fight. Posted December 2, 2012 5:28 pmfrankI think the score hasnt been settled between marquez and pacman and dont see any problem with fight 4 pacman beat bradley already but he really hasnt beat marquez yet . and why not give gueeero a fight against floyd a intresting foul fest Posted December 1, 2012 10:38 pmBigBadBradPacman shoud fight Bradley or Canelo or even Broner or the Ghost all in there late twentys but he chooses Marquez at allmost 40 what id Mayweather has a rematch with Marquez what would the fans think what a joke LOL Posted November 28, 2012 3:14 pmAnonymousFloyd should fight Canelo i dont want a rematch between Floyd and Marquez its a easy fight against a man allmost 40 past his prime Canelo is in his prime. Posted November 28, 2012 3:07 pmdrakeMayweather continues to avoid Pacman. Why does a man nicknamed "Money" continue to duck a $100 million payday against Pacman? Well, there can be only one reason – and we all know what that is! If people stop buying Floyd's fights – he has to fight Pac, or retire. Posted November 28, 2012 12:31 amAnonymousThe only fight for Mayweather that matters is against Pacquiao. Mayweather continues worldno one belongs in the ring with mayweather..he is way above everyone else. Posted November 27, 2012 11:16 pmBoxingKnow-it-allB-list fighters? Marquez was ranked #2 in the world. Cotto was the top dog at 154 who had just beat Margacheato. Mosley had knocked out Margacheato and was the #1 contender at WW. Ortiz was the WBC WW champ and a part of the fight of the year vs Berto. Everyone he fought were coming off of high profile wins and swimming in confidence. And they called him out. Just like Guerrero. who will also end up like the ones mentioned above if Floyd fights him. Posted November 27, 2012 10:08 pmMNboxingFAN – SeanAmen Merchant! Those are the only two fights I'd like to see Floyd in myself. I can't blame Floyd for taking easy money… that is unless he's going to continue to call himself the best fighter who ever lived. If that's the case than Floyd needs to step up. Posted November 27, 2012 4:13 pmterror timWho cares about Floyd or Pac anymore. I say forget both of them. They will both end up broke before it is said and done. Posted November 27, 2012 12:43 pmDashHow can you say he should of fought Thurman? Does that mean Thurman is ready for Floyd? Is Thurman better than Berto? If so did you know before Saturday? Berto is a bigger name for a start so it was the right decision. Posted November 27, 2012 12:23 pmVINMANlol, You got to love Larry! first, I don't think Floyd would take any advise from Merchant. Second, It would be a cold day in hell before Floyd would take either one of those fights! lol, just ask Fifty Cent he won't even "hang" with Floyd, says he is tired "running from Pacquiao" lol, ooooh, where can Floyd hide now? Maybe he will employ the "brittle hands tactics" and take a break/mini retirement like he did the last time things got a lil uncomfortable for him. Posted November 27, 2012 12:18 pmJoeKiddWho poses a bigger risk to Floyd's career? Guerrero or Pacquiao? There's no technical defence for what Guerrero brings to the ring. Floyd's the smartest cat out there. Guerrero does not belong in a boxing ring. Maybe with dogs! Floyd would never enter a ring with Guerrero! Pacquiao might…because he's not so smart! Posted November 27, 2012 12:13 pmAnonymousFloyd Jr fight either Canelo or Manny Pacquiao? No way, Floyd is a smart coward. These fights will never happen. Floyd make suckers out of you. Hehehehe.

I need help...Im at my wits end with this.
First off, I need to be in the fastboot menu on the phone right?? I hold both volume controls and power button to bring up the boot mode menus. I volume down to AP fastboot and volume up to select that. Screen says "battery ok, ok to program, tranfer mode: usb connected." I have terminal open. I have the bionicfastboot folder on my desktop. I am in that directory on the terminal. I drag the one click fastboot restore and root file to the terminal. It says "make sure you are in the ap fastboot menu yada yada", already am. It was saying "enter password" which didnt seem to work. After you said "do it anyway and hit enter" I did.
Now getting this again:

./fastboot: ./fastboot: cannot execute binary file
* Wiping data
./fastboot: ./fastboot: cannot execute binary file
* Rebooting your phone now, factory restore complete

With postage rates about to rise significantly and urban home delivery being scrapped in favour of community mailboxes, Canada Post doesn't need some lazy and unscrupulous jerk it employs to add to the bad optics.
Real-estate agent Mike Robinson is a pretty good Canada Post customer, spending a tidy sum every year to have desktop calendars and flyers that advertise his services delivered to potential clients. The post office delivers about 12,000 calendars and another 20,000 flyers for Robinson, who has been in the home-selling business for 23 years. The charge is about 11 cents a pop for unaddressed ad mail, on top of the 78 cents he pays the printing companies for each calendar and the 15 cents or so per flyer. He sends another 1,300 calendars to specific addresses and pays the full postal rate for those.
So imagine his dismay when he found out this week that several hundred of his unaddressed calendars destined for Stittsville ended up in the garbage. Whoever was supposed make the deliveries — Robinson suspects a Canada Post subcontractor, rather than one of its mail carriers, because the latter "has too much to lose" — left them in a cardboard-recycling bin beside the LCBO store in Carp. "Obviously, (the individual) didn't didn't feel like distributing the items (I) paid to have delivered."
Robinson received a call Tuesday afternoon from an LCBO employee who found the calendars while he was placing cardboard in the Dumpster. Robinson says the LCBO employee told him he figured "my calendars cost a lot of money to produce and mail, and that people would be happy to receive them."
Understandably, Robinson can't help but worry if this has happened to his ad mail before.
"The $600 to $700 (calendars and mailings) cost is upsetting, but the thing that is upsetting as well is (the) lost opportunity. There are 600 or 700 homes that don't have my calendars now (and some homeowners) may have called me to sell their homes. That could be tens of thousands of dollars. That's the most upsetting thing about it."
Robinson drove to the LCBO on Donald B. Munro Drive as soon as he was finished with a client. With temperatures hovering around — 25 C, he climbed into the trash bin in his suit and tie. He says he retrieved between 600 and 700 calendars.
"I don't know how many I didn't get because the Dumpster was full (of material)," he says.
Robinson believes the calendars he collected were from a batch of 8,600 destined for Stittsville residents. He also had Canada Post deliver another 3,400 in Bells Corners this month.
As he rummaged through the Dumpster, he also discovered bundled flyers for ReMax real-estate agent Eileen Pinder, Gabriel's Pizza, and Reliance Holmes Heating. He was able to get a hold of Pinder, but by the time a relative arrived to retrieve her flyers, the Dumpster's contents had already been taken away in a truck.
Meanwhile, Reliance Holmes Heating expressed dismay when informed Thursday that Robinson also found its flyers in the Dumpster. Spokeswoman Erin Senn says Reliance Holmes Heating has been using Canada Post because it was the best way to ensure delivery.
"Most restaurants use kids or employees to do the drop and then they find (their flyers) in a sewer. We pay a premium to Canada Post to prevent that from happening. We do it for that very reason."
Senn says the company will be calling the post office for an explanation.
Robinson was in contact with Canada Post Wednesday. He says he was assured an investigation would take place. He first spoke to the manager of the Stittsville depot, where he dropped off the 12,000 calendars last week. He "was mortified," says Robinson. Head office called later in the day and was "very apologetic."
Robinson was asked to get an exact count of the calendars he salvaged from the Dumpster so he would at least get a refund on the postage.
Robinson thinks it will be difficult to find the culprit. Robinson delivered the calendars to the post office depot in boxes, which held about 200 each. Every box contained a bar code, identifying the area in Stittsville where the contents were to be distributed. Those areas would have been assigned to the individuals making the deliveries. But he didn't find any boxes in the Dumpster in the hope of retrieving a bar code. He says it got too "bloody cold" after about 30 minutes rummaging about.
In an email, post office spokeswoman Anick Losier confirmed that postal inspectors were investigating the matter. "These occurrences are rare, but we take them very seriously," she wrote. "Once the investigation is completed, we will take proper action accordingly.
Losier did not say whether Canada Post had used mail carriers or subcontractors to deliver the ad mail.

Welcome back! Be sure you have read and understand the Forum Rules.
** Attack: ranged touch attack that never provokes an attack of opportunity. This counts as both a natural and a manufactured weapon (specifically a bow actually...) for purposes of how many attacks they get per round. This means a skunk-folk monk can do his full flurry with sprays, and Rapid Shot and Many-Shot are all usable with spray. They can store up to 6 'shots' and when under this number remaining recharge one 'shot' every 20 minutes. range increment 10' (max range 30'){1}, threats on an 18 to 20 (gets in eyes, note that feats, spells, and effects that expand the critical range of a weapon never apply to this). All those within 15 feet of target sprayed within the last 3d6 minutes (INCLUDING Mepholk) must succeed a fortitude save DC 10 + 1/2 HD + Constitution Modifier or be wracked with nausea, suffering a -3 circumstance to all attacks, saves, and skill checks for 2d4+6 minutes, the creature actually struck has this penalty without save and must save (Fortitude) each round against the same DC to take any action, if they make it they can take a partial action, if they make it by 5 they make take their full action). If miss then 15' stench radius is from location determined by splash weapon scatter method. Struck target (character and/or specific items struck) smell bad for days (See Lingering smell below). Critical hit: I critical hit means the spray has gotten in the eyes. This results in:An additional -4 circumstance to all attacks, saves, and skill checks from burning pain and partial blindness Casting spells etc. Requires concentration checks with a DC equal to the original DC for 3d6 rounds Fortitude save DC equal to the original DC +5 to avoid being completely blinded for that duration. {1}Note also that Far Shot DOES increase the range increment of these to 15' and the maximum range to 45'.
**Lingering stench: -5 to interpersonal interactions if struck or carrying such item, reduced by 1 per four days and also by 1 for each 4 hours spent washing with soap, apply triple this penalty as a bonus to tracking the victim by scent. Time items made completely from metal, crystal, and/or stone etc. can be washed off in only 1 minute per size class above Tiny but the smell gets on the hands or washrag used for the washing.
* Mundaziers also have the Lawful and Native subtypes.

Institution's General Supportiveness for IDR from 0 (hostile) to 10 (supportive) |
Environment for IDR |
Convocation Survey (n=91) |
Individual Survey (n=423) |
Provost Survey (n=57) |
Current institution |
7.74 +/– 2.07 |
7.25 +/– 2.31 |
7.24 +/– 1.70 |
Previous institution(s) |
5.95 +/– 2.17 |
6.35 +/– 2.57 |
5.67 +/– 2.04 |
and number of faculty. Respondents ranked their IDR experiences more favorably at institutions with budgets and faculty members at either end of the spectrum. This echoes findings by Epton et al.1
A vision of interdisciplinarity may begin with simple steps and behaviors that nourish the practice of collaboration. That might be done, for example, by creating more opportunities for faculty to work with students and postdoctoral fellows in different disciplines and departments. It might also be done by allocating seed money for space where a promising interdepartmental partnership can begin. One study notes that "interdisciplinary centers need not only to be well-funded but to have an independent physical location and intellectual direction apart from traditional university departments."2
Over half of the institutions represented in the committee's survey provided "venture capital" for interdisciplinary work. Amounts provided ranged from $1,000 to $1 million, but centered at $10,000-50,000 (Figure 5-2). Grant duration varied, but most tended to be 1- to 2-year awards.
A vision of interdisciplinarity might include a strategy to help young centers while they seek long-term support. For example, a university might give IDR high priority in its fund-raising and help to make the case with foundations to support an interdisciplinary strategy.
Or a vision might include a plan to broaden institutional participation wherein leaders can make the case for IDR through campus-wide meetings

Create and configure forms quick and easy while you gain full controller over the forms markup.
With Sapphire in your hands it is very easy to build forms, customize their actions and validation. As the forms markup is created automatically you do have only little influence on it.

This multi-coloured and complex African metropolis is the biggest city in South Africa and probably the living example of its much debated history. Johannesburg is not the capital of the country, but it represents its main economic hub, and is also the seat of the Constitutional Court.
Popularly known as Jo'burg, the city is constantly under renovation in all areas, allowing it to slowly but decidedly overcome its 'Apartheid' legacy. The Central Business District (CBD) alternates historic buildings with skyscrapers and a lively nightlife. Suburbs like Melville, Newtown or Rosebank have a bohemian atmosphere. With some of the best Johannesburg hotels, Sandton City and Hyde Park are modern residential and shopping areas.
Get to know South Africa's history at Constitution Hill, the Apartheid Museum, and the Hector Pieterson Museum. Natural areas like the UNESCO World Heritage Site 'Cradle of Humankind', the Lion Park Nature Reserve, or the Krugersdorp Nature Reserve are located outside the city.
OR Tambo International Airport is the largest airport in Africa, while the smaller Lanseria Airport offers connections to mainly domestic destinations. Hotels near Johannesburg's airport are a popular choice to avoid the last-minute rush. Check out the wide range of Johannesburg accommodation deals available on Booking.com.

Why the Economy Languishes
June 21, 2012, 4:02PM
"June 21 (Bloomberg) -- Mitt Romney's presidential campaign asked Florida Governor Rick Scott to tone down his statements heralding improvements in the state's economy because they clash with the presumptive Republican nominee's message that the nation is suffering under President Barack Obama, according to two people familiar with the matter. Megan Hughes reports on Bloomberg Television's "Street Smart." (Source: Bloomberg)...

Fed by a growing disenchantment with the way the economy is going — something is afoot. And it bothers us. The overt social appeal to "redistribute the wealth" sounds great to the poor and those who have a tough time making ends meet. For many these are tough times.

Then they compromise to a middle ground that is a further slide to the right. Take the federal deficit. Instead of shouting "Tax the rich," they cozy up to Republicans wanting...

I think I need others opinions on this. Am I out of line or does sbx have a valid point?
We seem to have reached an agreement on most of the major items but it's small things that we are not in agreement about. Sbx and I both had iphones for a couple of years. the contract was in his name only. The contract is now over and I am keeping my iphone as all the apps still work, I just can't make calls on it. Sbx keeps mentioning to me and our children how he wants the phone back so he can sell it, and how it is his. Now about 6 months ago when we were still using it as a phone he reported my phone as stolen (twice) and the judge blasted him for doing so.
is the phone his or mine? Do I give it to him or just tell him to stop playing games.
For some reason this seems to be the battle he wants to fight. I wouldn't be concerned apart from he keeps talking about it to our children, who go away and think about it and end up worrying about it.
Am I just being stuborn? i am worried about all my info on the phone should I give it to him, and the kids still use it a lot as it has all their game apps on it. AHHHHHHH

Excellent Work w/ Reasonable Pricing
I had newer RG6 cable wired throughout my two-story townhome to replace old RG59 cable for the use of DirecTV. DirecTV installers would'nt touch the wiring as it had to be fished from the attic to three locations throughout the home. Ron, the owner, came and gave a free estimate and offered to complete the job at what I found (when shopping around) to be a very reasonable and fair price. Service was completed in a very timely manner and the work was completed in hours. Holes were created in the drywall to allow wiring (as one wall that had to be fished was 24' tall and horizontal studs were present), however they arranged drywall repair through another local worker who was prepared to fix the drywall just after completion of running the cable...great scheduling! Steve, the electrician who completed the work was great. Extremely friendly, professional and quick! I would definitely recommend this company to others and will seek their expertise in the future when needed!
Best Service Ever!
I really liked the work that the Electrical Solutions Group did. I needed to have a ceiling fan replaced in my bedroom in my apartment. I really had no idea where to start. They came in and completely fixed it. They took the fan out and replaced it with the new one. The workers were really friendly and it didn't take them a long time for the repair. I am really happy with the work they did and I will most definitely call them again for more home repairs.
Replaced Patio fan/light, replaced bath fans in 2 rooms, replaced an outdoor motion light fixture, added a new wall plug (+wiring). Steve was wonderful to work with and did an excellent job. I'm thrilled with the company and will definitely call them for all my electrical needs.
We had a recent kitchen remodel and a wall was taken out. The wall had the volume control for our outdoor speakers. We forgot to tell the contractor so the wires were cut and stuffed in the wall. We wanted to avoid cutting the brand new wall and re-connect. That meant the wires would need to be fixed in the attic. Electrical Solutions went in the attic and re-connected the wires. However, the remote control for controlling the volume wasn't working on the speakers. Ron, the owner , was puzzled and worked for another 45 minutes on trouble-shooting. He provided the fix and we think the system is working as good or better than before we callled.
I really like Electrical Solutions Group's owner. The owner was fantastic; he did what he said he was going to do and I really liked his employee, Steve, he was very knowledgeable.

The Site
How many extra embarrassment points to I get for misspelling the word "embarrassment" in the title of a post?
The usual story, I throw some text in the title as a placeholder, write the post, hit publish, and realize some minutes later that I didn't actually look at the title. While I fixed the title here right away, the error was immortalized in the URL and on G+ and Twitter. Go me.
WordPress.com broke a few less things than usual this month and provided me with the 2013 version of their blog annual report:
I have flagged the report as public, so you can go and read it here if you want. There isn't much to it really, just a few basic Top 5 lists. Interestingly, a couple posts that never bubble up to the top 12 I post monthly still get enough traffic over time that they end up on the top 5 for the year. Of course, they produced this report more than a day early, so if as few as 5,000 people suddenly decide to view one of my posts, it could be rendered incorrect. That doesn't seem likely, but it could happen in theory. If you are really into this report, you can compare it with the reports from 2012 or 2011.
And I mentioned quite a while back that there was a huge surge in Brazilian email list and SEO spam coming in. That seems to have subsided. The new thing this month appears to be online casino spam in Swedish. Vive l'esprit international!
One Year Ago
I wrote a post looking at 50 years of James Bond. It included ranked lists for people to argue about.
There was my standard Highs & Lows post for the year gone by, and I reviewed my questions for 2012.
Turbine announced that they were bringing back Asheron's Call 2. I am not sure what became of that.
I was deep into my World of Tanks binge. I was up to the KV-2 on the Soviet heavy line, choosing that path after the three way split at the KV-1. (And the T-28.) I was also still working on the German tank destroyer line.
We were having a bit of fun in Need for Speed: World. I even made a holiday video.
In Rift we were having some trouble getting a full group together, so we were doing some lower level instances as a group of four. I was also struggling with the whole dimension thing.
Gaff and I took a quick peek into EverQuest II. Nostalgia didn't last long. I also took a one-time shot at Wizardy Online. It just wasn't a game for me, but not every game has to be.
I was looking back on a year in null sec in EVE Online. The Retribution expansion went live. And I hit 90 million skill points.
I crammed together all the ads I could find from the EVE Online splash screen. The launcher killed off those ads.
Five Years Ago
December seemed to be all about the micropayments and the like. Sony Online Entertainment surprised some by putting Station Cash driven stores into EverQuest and EverQuest II. The selection wasn't great and the pricing seemed a bit off, but I was more interested to know what other SOE products would get the Station Cash treatment.
And then EA announced that Star Wars: The Old Republic would be microtransaction financed. Or maybe they didn't.
In EverQuest II I ran Reynaldo Fabulous from creation to level 50 in an very short (to me) stretch of time. And then I stopped.
In Azeroth we were still coming to grips with the Northrend instances. In Utgarde Keep we managed to kill off Prince Keleseth, but couldn't hold it together to finish the instance. Outside, we were running around doing quests.
Meanwhile, somebody was working on a WoW code, akin to the old geek code that used to clutter many a .sig file back when Usenet was cool and we knew the spammers by name.
I actually found some time to play Lord of the Rings Online.
And on the MUD nostalgia front I was reminding people what quests used to be like and sharing some really bad limericks.

EVE Online
I passed the two year mark in null sec this month. Despite being in something of a lull for the last couple of months due to the lack of a really intense deployment, I still keep my hand in with a fleet now and again. I still enjoy a big fleet fight and sovereignty wars in general.
World of Warcraft
The Azeroth binge continues. I think I have said this before, but everybody in the regular group is playing at about their maximum rate. I know I have been playing WoW more than anything else by quite a margin. It is a combination of Blizzard smoothness, familiarity, and each of us discovering in turn that Mists of Pandaria is actually a pretty meaty expansion… and that there was still quite a bit left uncovered in past expansions. I keep going back to bits of The Burning Crusade with various characters. I feel like I haven't done very much in that expansion to this day.
The Steam Winter sale has almost run its course. I did manage to find a couple of titles I wanted on deep sale. Company of Heroes 2 is the one I have actually spent some time playing. It isn't bad, though it isn't quite Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin in depth. The other game I bought was Endless Space, which I have heard both good and bad about, but which dropped to a price point that I just bought it. Now to find time to actually play it.
Coming Up
It will be the new year, which means tomorrow I will have a post with some ridiculous predictions and such as well as a somewhat delayed yet probably very predictable 2014 MMO and like games outlook. Things I do every year so at least you can plot my insanity/inanity over time.
My daughter also got a Nintendo 3DS XL for Christmas, and immediately used some gift cards she got to go buy Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Pokemon X. She has played quite a bit of both since then. I will have to give the unit a closer look. It seems very nice and the big screen means I can read the text without my glasses. Anyway, there will no doubt be a post on that at some point in the not too distant future. Is the 3DS XL worth it, or would a DSi XL and a pile of older games be a better choice?
Then there is the ongoing adventures of the instance group, which I have been slacking on the last two weeks and all the things that go along with that.
And, finally, I have a Mystery Code from the EVE Online Second Decade Collector's Edition to give away. There will be a contest. I expect it will involve screen shots. I can't help it, I can sit and look at EVE Online screen shots all day.
Quote of the Day – No, You Gotta CATCH Them All! October 23, 2013
Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, Nintendo, Pokemon.5 comments
"When it comes to business, the one thing I've always said 'no!' to is 'the act of buying Pokémon with money,'" says Sugimori. "That is something that has been said since the days [Satoshi] Tajiri was completely involved in everything."
-Ken Sugimori, Art Director for Pokemon, on Pokemon DLC
In a world where we have things like Skylanders, it is interesting to hear from a company that has a line they won't cross.
Granted, it isn't like Nintendo doesn't exploit the Pokemon franchise. There are the original GameBoy role playing games, the hooked-in add-on games like Pokemon Ranch and Pokemon Battle Revolution, the decent spin-off games such as the Rogue inspired Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, the dubious (in my opinion) spin-offs like Pokemon Snap or Pokemon Ranger, there is the collectible trading card game with its various sponsored tournaments, the guest appearances by Pikachu and others in games like Super Smash Bros., and then the whole television series which is now past the 800 episode mark, with 16 full length movies along with some short subjects in there as well.
Nintendo clearly grasped Miltank by the udders and commenced to make the cash flow with as much vigor as they could manage.
But there is a limit. Selling you a Pokemon directly would potentially "ruin the world view" set in the game. You can catch them in game or pick them up by participating in special events, but going for outright Pokemon sales might damage the brand.
And given how lucrative the Pokemon franchise is, protecting the brand certainly has to be a high priority. The latest versions of the game, Pokemon X and Y, look to be on track for best seller status, like so many versions before them.
Then again, the amount of 100 Yen (about one dollar) came up a few times during the interview. Would you buy a Pokemon for a buck?
What if it was the last one you needed to complete the National Pokedex?
A Farewell to Pokemon October 15, 2013
Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in DS, entertainment, Nintendo, Pokemon.Tags: Nintendo 2DS, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo DS Lite, Pokemon X & Y

We were out shopping on Sunday. For some reason my wife asked me to come along and for equally inexplicable reasons I said yes. I do not like wandering around the mall "shopping" and begin to behave like an 8 year old in making up games and distractions to pass the time. This, in turn, annoys the crap out of my long-suffering wife, so clearly neither of us was thinking straight on this call.
But as we made our way through the electronics section of Target, my daughter went over to the Nintendo section and spotted the new Pokemon X and Y games.
She actually seemed both surprised and excited to see a new Pokemon game out. I knew it had shipped. I still get email updates from Nintendo and was aware that the new games were releasing world wide this past Saturday. I just hadn't said (or written) anything about it. (Keen and Graev have some posts about the new games.) But I have to admit I have been interested in the game.
Pokemon used to be one of our things.
My daughter was attracted to the game a long ways back, when we saw a Nintendo DS on display at a store with Pokemon loaded up. It was colorful, the basic functions were immediately comprehensible to her, and the idea of capturing little pets and making them battle held an attraction for her. She was into bugs and dinosaurs and animals when she was that age. (Now, however, she screams bloody murder if there is a moth in the shower with her.)
Of course to play Pokemon you had to buy the hardware, a Nintendo DS. That was the stopping point, until we were about to go on a trip and my wife gave me the mandate to go buy one to keep our daughter entertained on the plane for five hours. So I went out and bought a pink Nintendo DS Lite along with LEGO Star Wars, Mario Party DS, and Pokemon Diamond.
I could have skipped the first two. We spent the whole trip playing Pokemon. My daughter was in kindergarten at the time and needed help reading some of the text in the game… this was before she had been trained by World of Warcraft to skip all quest text… so I spent a chunk of that time reading the game text aloud to her. That was a bit of a chore for me, but got her motivated to read.
The game was such a success that a couple of months later my wife bought me a cobalt blue Nintendo DS Lite and my own copy of Pokemon Diamond and we were off.
We played through that together, went on to Pokemon Platinum, and really hit our peak during Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver. We were wearing out Pokewalkers everywhere (and cheating a bit using physics and LEGO). There were mishaps and tragedies and meddling cats, but we were into it. We went to the Pokemon regional championships, played with Pokemon Ranch, and in went to the Pokemon Black and White tour when it showed up at a local mall. I even caught 'em all, nabbing all 493 Pokemon that were available in the series up to that point.
But then Pokemon Black and White came along and we were not quite as interested. In part that was because we had played so much Pokemon up to that point. We might have been a bit burned out having burned through all the predecessors on the DS, plus a couple of the GameBoy Advance versions, which also ran on the DS Lite.
Then there is also the fact that all Pokemon games are very much alike at some basic level. You start out in the world as a youth, you meet some Pokemon expert, you get your first Pokemon, and you head out into the world to catch Pokemon, battle gym leaders, and eventually take on the regional champions, all while battling a rival and some oddly dressed organization bent on evil. And all of it takes place in a world completely obsessed with Pokemon and where all conflict is resolved by Pokemon battles.
After a few runs through that, you might get a little tired of it.
And then there are the special features each game brings to the table. My daughter and I used to enjoy playing together in the underground in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. It was a shared environment you could link up in on WiFi. We were also fond of the Pokewalker and the way your lead Pokemon would walk around with you in HeartGold and SoulSilver. In Black and White the key features were the graphics, which were improved, 150 new Pokemon (groan), and a lot of online WiFi connectivity (like Global Link) that did not really click with us. Neither of us finished Black or White and we never bothered with Black 2 and White 2. (Which I still think were dumb names.)
Finally, there were just other distractions. Other games to play, other things to do. My daughter was growing up and little things like Pokemon were no longer quite so important. So we have not been playing Pokemon for quite a while. I would say that we are at least two years past the last time either of us played with any read drive.
But the memory of those times, of playing together, of figuring out where to go next, of catching and trading Pokemon, that all remains. And I think some of that came rushing back to her when we were standing there at the counter looking at the new Pokemon. She was gushing a bit when she asked, "Can we get it?"
I had to tell her we could not.
While Pokemon X and Y have the usual range of features and even a slick way to transfer your old Pokemon over to the new games via the internet (assuming you have them all in Pokemon Black or White) using a feature called Pokemon Bank, there was a problem.
Pokemon X and Y are the first versions of the main line of Pokemon games that are exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS generation of handheld gaming devices. Our Nintendo DS Lites are now pretty much obsolete. When Nintendo stops shipping Pokemon on a platform, it is done.
There certainly seems to be some hunger for a version of Pokemon on the 3DS platform. It is on track to be a big seller, moving 4 million units on its first two days. The top Pokemon games of all time are Pokemon Diamond and Pearl which together move nearly 18 million units.
My daughter had an immediate solution to this problem, which was to buy new hardware!
I have clearly failed to instill any sort of sense as to the value of money in my daughter.
I had to tell her that wasn't going to happen either. At least not right then. Something like a Nintendo 3DS is a Christmas/Birthday present (or maybe a going on long trip present) and not something we just buy on a whim while at the store on a Sunday afternoon. Even the more moderately priced Nintendo 2DS, about which I am a bit dubious given what I have read (turns out it has just one big LED panel for both screens), falls outside of the impulse buy price range in my opinion.
My daughter's response was in the "Oh well" range of emotions. She didn't seem all that put out by it and I somehow doubt that a Nintendo 3DS is going to make it to her Christmas list. And if it did, I think she is more interested in Animal Crossing: New Leaf than Pokemon.
So I suspect that we have had our time with Pokemon.
Quote of the Day – PokéVille November 6, 2012

A couple of years ago I was addicted to Farmville and I've always had a soft spot for Pokémon. As much as I hate to say, it the Mists of Pandaria is coming over all Pokéville 2. Everyone is battling minipets or farming, which all feels a bit twee but I can't deny it's also extremely enjoyable… except when I see my baby polar bear bashed to death by someone's mini robot.
Mists of Pandaria review over at The Register
Pet battles was supposed to be one of the draws for my daughter when it came to Mists of Pandaria. But Pokemon has fallen out of favor at our house. Pokemon Black & White 2 shipped about a month ago and I didn't even mention it here. My daughter has discovered Minecraft and that has driven out all other games… except the ones she cannot play on her iMac. She watches me play Rift and wants to know why it is Windows only.
I suspect that is a case of wanting something just because she cannot have it.
Anyway, while I am not sure about the FarmVille aspect of Pandaria… hasn't FarmVille been shut down or something… it is nice to see that the pet battles seem to be working out, though it isn't like Blizzard didn't have a pretty solid franchise to copy on that one.
And to wrap it all up, I see there is an addon now that will redo your pet battles UI so that it actually looks like Pokemon.
I might have to try that out with my daughter's idle WoW account.
Or maybe not.
There is always too much to do and not enough time.
Pokemon Video Game 2012 Regional Championships – April 15 April 8, 2012

Pokemon.com has the information up for the Spring 2012 Pokemon Regional Championships.
Unlike last year, where the regional matches were part of a big Pokemon road show and occurred on consecutive weekends throughout Spring, this year the matches are being run by regional partners and are all taking place on the same day, April 15.
In California, the nearest regional event is still close by my home, just across the bay in Pleasanton.
The Pleasanton event is being run by Second City Gym, which has details about the event on their own web site. You can also pre-register for the event there to secure yourself a spot.
Links to information about other regional matches are available at Pokemon.com.
The US National Championships will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana on June 30th – July 1st, 2012, and the World Championships will happen in Waikaloa, just up the road from Kona, on the big island of Hawaii on August 10th-12th, 2012.
Reshiram and Zekrom Download Event for Pokemon Black and White March 13, 2012
Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in DS, entertainment, Nintendo, Pokemon.Tags: Pokemon Black, Pokemon White, Reshiram, Zekrom
8 comments
Pokemon.com has announced that Nintendo is offering a chance for owners of Pokemon Black and White to get the legendary Pokemon that is not available on each given game as part of the regular adventure.
The text of the announcement reads:
Add the Legendary Pokémon Reshiram or Zekrom to your game with a special distribution event beginning on March 10th and ending April 8th via the Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection service*! The Pokémon that you'll receive into your copy of Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version will be the Pokémon that is not available in that version during normal gameplay. So, you'll receive Reshiram into your Pokémon White Version game and Zekrom into your Pokémon Black Version game.
These Legendary Pokémon are Level 100, and have moves that make them extremely powerful in battle. Plus, you'll know they are special Pokémon because they come in a Cherish Ball and are adorned with a Wish Ribbon.
The opportunity to get these Legendary Pokémon won't be around long, so don't miss your chance to get Reshiram or Zekrom for your game!
*Wireless broadband access required for online features. For more info, go to support.nintendo.com.
What is boils down to is that for a limited time, if you have Pokemon Black, you can download the legendary Zekrom.
And if you have Pokemon White, you will be able to download the legendary Reshiram.
The downloads are available now. I have downloaded Reshiram to my copy of Pokemon White already.
The event is slated to last from March 10th through April 8th, though as we saw with the Mewtwo download event, Nintendo some times changes their mind, so download yours sooner rather than later.
These special Reshiram and Zekrom also unlock a special in the Pokemon Dream World.
This is not an in-store event. This download is only available via Nintendo WiFi. Instructions are available here at Pokemon.com.
Pokemon Black and White Version 2 – Nintendo's Least Creative Names? March 5, 2012
Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in DS, entertainment, Nintendo, Pokemon.Tags: Pokemon Black, Pokemon Black Version 2, Pokemon White, Pokemon White Version 2
10 comments
Nintendo has announced the next versions of the ever popular Pokemon franchise on their handheld game system. They are to be, giving them their official names, Pokemon Black Version 2 and Pokemon White Version 2. These two titles will be out in Japan by the summer and in Europe and North America some time in the fall.
This sort of breaks the pattern of Pokemon game releases that have gone before it.
Over the years, a pattern has evolved that Nintedo will release a pair of games, like Diamond and Pearl, each of which has some Pokemon not available on the other. This is to encourage, depending on your level of cynicism, playing and trading with friends, buying both damn versions of the game, or boosting the sales of those cheat add-ons which some no doubt believe Nintendo secretly funds.
Then, in a year or so, Nintendo will launch a single, slightly revised version of the the two games, Pokemon Platinum in this example, which has all of the Pokemon from both Diamond and Pearl, so you can feel like a schnook for playing through both of the original games AND the new one. Pokemon Emerald and Crystal were also examples of this sort of update.
And then Nintendo goes back to remake an older version of the game. HeartGold and SoulSilver were remakes of Gold and Silver. Remakes always get that modifier in the name it seems. FireRed and LeafGreen were further examples of that.
Then, finally, Nintendo gets around to knocking out a new version of the game, which is where new Pokemon get introduced (and I have to think this is the tough part, putting together a batch of 150 new Pokemon that are balanced and useful and don't seriously offend any cultures that buy a lot of these games) in a new land.
So really, while there have been about 20 Pokemon games (not the spin-offs, the classic Pokemon role playing games), there are only really five settings in which they take place and, honestly, one damn story played out over and over again, a young boy/girl sets out to defeat some oddly dressed bad guys and become the reigning champion in a world obsessed by Pokemon.
And while I sound cynical, the system has worked. I have the games on the shelf to prove it, and the sales numbers do not lie. Any year a classic Pokemon RPG title gets released, it is on the top 20 list for game sales that year, and often the next year as well.
So it is always a bit surprising when a company like Nintendo, which has been living off Mario for 30 years and Pokemon for the last 15, deviates from their traditional path, especially when such deviations often fail. (Compare Mario Party 8 sales to Wii Party… Mario Party with Miis versus Mario… and well, they are not that far apart actually, but Nintendo is still going back to tradition and Mario Party 9 will be the next version.)
I was expecting that single wrap up title to come out, to combine all of the Pokemon in Black and White with a name like… well, Gray isn't a great plan I guess… maybe Pokemon Checkerboard?
Instead, we are getting two rework games with the continuation of exclusivity of Pokemon between the two and what have to be the worst name choices ever in the main Pokemon game line. Version 2? Really?
And even the main Pokemon in the game, the legendaries that you play through the whole game to catch, are on the lame name bandwagon. Rather that two distinct yet unpronounceable names, we have Black Kyurem and White Kyurem. And they appear to be basically the same Pokemon with just a different color scheme and a slightly different accessory kit.
There is not much out there… at least not in English… about the Black and White Version 2 story or new features that might get introduced, but at a high level it feels like the Pokemon team is running out of ideas.
I know, complaining that the latest two games feel repetitive when the whole series is, quite frankly, the same game retold nearly 20 times is silly, but it is like they aren't even giving us the fig leaf so that we can pretend that this is something new.
In the end Nintendo will have to do more than merely crank up the repetitive dial another notch in order to keep this from being a best seller. There are a lot of people out there who are mad for Pokemon.
And a new release will mean launch events and special downloads and all sorts of thing that I will no doubt participate in over the spring and summer.
And when fall comes, I am sure we will buy a copy of each game. Because that is the way it works.
Mewtwo Available for Download from Nintendo February 12, 2012

As mentioned previously, Mewtwo is now available for download from Nintendo via Nintendo WiFi, and will remain so through March 6, 2012. I downloaded mine already.
While the event is really just to bring attention to updates to the Pokemon Trading Card Game, those of us who only play the video game benefit.
The full instructions for the event are available at Pokemon.com, along with this information:
You'll have a new opportunity to get the Legendary Mewtwo once again! Between February 12th and March 6th, you can receive Mewtwo in your Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version game. Don't miss this limited-time distribution event to get this amazing Pokémon via the Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection service (wireless broadband Internet access required. For more info, go to support.nintendo.com).
When you take this Level 70 Mewtwo into battle, know that you have one of the strongest Pokémon ever. Its moves are powerful and well suited to take advantage of Mewtwo's strengths and cover its weaknesses. Psystrike is a new signature move for Mewtwo that does damage depending on its opponent's Defense. Ordinarily Mewtwo doesn't learn Psystrike until Level 100, but this Mewtwo already has the powerful attack! Mewtwo also has Shadow Ball, a Ghost-type move that is super effective against the Ghost-type Pokémon that can cause problems for Psychic types. Mewtwo is also weak against Dark-type Pokémon, so its third attack, the Fighting-type move Aura Sphere, is a good counter to their attacks. Lastly, this special Mewtwo knows Electro Ball, a stunning Electric-type move that Mewtwo cannot normally learn!
When you get Mewtwo, it will be holding a King's Rock, an item which occasionally makes its opponent flinch in battle. You can also give it to certain Pokémon and then trade them to make them evolve. Plus, Mewtwo comes with a Premier Ribbon, a special Ribbon that you can't get through normal game play!
Mewtwo will be available via a Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection distribution event that runs from February 12th through March 6th.
A reminded, this is not an in-store event, but a download available over your local wireless internet connection to Pokemon Black or White only. For instructions on setting up that connection, go to the US Nintendo support site.
Mewtwo for Me and You – Pokemon Download Coming Soon January 29, 2012

add a comment
Pokemon.com has been teasing visitors for over a week now with an upcoming download event for Pokemon Black and White players. The Pokemon being dangled before us is the rare Mewtwo.
Pokemon who get their own entry in Wikipedia are pretty rare, there being 646 Pokemon available at this point, so Mewtwo is pretty important in the Pokemon mythos. Nintendo says about the impending Mewtwo event:
The legend of the Genetic Pokémon Mewtwo has grown ever since it debuted in the Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version games. The Psychic-type Pokémon has always been considered one of the most powerful Pokémon available, and also very tough to catch.
You'll have a new opportunity to get the Legendary Mewtwo once again! Starting on February 12th, you can receive Mewtwo for your Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version game. Take part in a limited-time distribution event to get this amazing Pokémon. This Mewtwo is incredibly strong and fast, and it even has an exclusive move that Mewtwo cannot normally learn!
However, while Nintendo is being coy, Siliconera is reporting that they have already done this same download event in Japan and they are unlikely to change things up for the distribution in North America.
So if you have Pokemon Black or White, be ready come February 12th for this Nintendo WiFi special offer. I suspect the instructions will be similar to the Victini event they had at the end of December.
Victini Available for Download Again Through Dec. 31 December 3, 2011

In celebration of the release of the Pokemon movie… erm… movies… you see there is Pokémon the Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram and Pokémon the Movie: White—Victini and Zekrom… because that is the sort of forward thinking that got Nintendo where it is today… now where was I?
Oh, yes.
Because of… the movie thing… Nintendo is making Victini available for download via Nintendo WiFi again.
This Victini download is different from the previous one. This Victini is higher level, has a special ability, and is the star of the 14th Pokemon movie (and only the second or third not to go straight to video). This Victini also goes straight into your party. There is no need to get the Liberty pass and go catch him.
The instructions on how to download Victini are available at the Pokemon Black & White web site.
Remember that this is NOT an in-store event, but a download you can do from any WiFi internet access point.
Meanwhile, there is still no official work from Nintedo on the next Pokemon game.

You make some excellent points. I just visited Eataly last week while on business in NYC and posted a piece about it at http://davidstable.com. I actually enjoyed shopping for imported pastas and oils. It was the dining experience that turned me off. Also, I was there as a tourist. I don't know that I would use it as regular market if I lived there. I did wonder how long it will all last. Once the initial shine wears off with the fooderati, will there be enough interest to keep it profitable? The charter of the original store sounds far more sustainable.
One things for certain: After reading your piece, I'm longing to see the original.

My first Mani-Pedi! I went to a local spa called "Salon Nails by Chana" for my first experience a few weeks ago, and I loved it! I had no idea how amazing a pedicure in particular is. Chana was incredibly professional and did an amazing job. I would highly recommend her if you're in the Raleigh area. I also got nail polish on my toes, which was fun. The brand was Evolution Man, and it stil hasn't chipped! As you can see, they're a basic black, but it keeps being a fun surprise when I take my socks off. :)

The prospect of making your debut for one's country can be thrilling enough, but what could possibly add more excitement to it? Definitely, a helping hand from a legend of the game. Pakistan's rookie batsman Umar Amin is looking forward to making a successful debut for his country in the upcoming Asia Cup and he plans to do it by playing with a bat that belonged to none other than Sachin Tendulkar.
The bat was gifted to Amin, who plays for Rawalpindi, by Shoaib Akhtar after Amin played well in a domestic game last year. "I got the bat for scoring a match-winning innings in a domestic game and I still have it with me," said Amin. "It is a treasured possession for me. I intend to make my debut for Pakistan with that bat." The 20-year old Amin has been a prolific scorer for Pakistan at the domestic level and has also enjoyed success with the Pakistan U-19 and A teams.

2 new indictments in cancer-data-to-China plot
Thursday - 4/11/2013, 1:49pm  ET
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A researcher accused of stealing a possible cancer-fighting compound from the Medical College of Wisconsin has been indicted on two counts.
Online court records say 42-year-old Hua Jun Zhao was indicted Tuesday on charges of computer fraud and lying to a federal agent. A previous charge of economic espionage was superseded by the indictment, meaning it no longer applies unless he's indicted on that charge as well.
Zhao is accused of stealing three vials of the compound along with academic research that he is accused of planning to pass off as his own. Prosecutors say also he tried to delete research from the school's servers.
He'll be arraigned Thursday afternoon in Milwaukee. Public defender Juval Scott says she'll enter not-guilty pleas on his behalf to the fraud and lying charges.
