PTD: What's next? First Gym, Level Cap, about me, feedback, 11,000 downloads!
Hey everyone! I must say that it has been a crazy last couple of days for me, I did not expect the game to grow as much as it did so quickly but I welcome the growth with open arms. My goal for this game was to reach 10,000 downloads. That was my goal, I didn't know when it would happen maybe months, or a year, but here we are 3 days later and we are at over 11,000 downloads. That is all because of you guys! I can't say how much I appreciate it.
Your feedback has been amazing, a lot of changes in the game have been made due to this feedback, I read every post and reply to every email sent to me. I value what you guys think, even if you just say this game is awesome, especially if you say things like that it really help drive me even more.
The number one thing that people want is more levels, higher level cap, just more more more. I want to give you what you want! I'm trying really hard to deliver, and I'm not trying to make excuses but I do want you guys to know my situation so that we can understand each other better. First, I'm the only person working on this game. I have a full time job, I go to college at night, I like to hang out with my girlfriend, friends and family. Making games full time is a dream that I hope to accomplish, but I'm not there yet. That said I want to get this game done for you guys! Like I said before I just want to let you guys know my situation and why stuff is not done already :D
Another thing I wanted to talk about was the level cap, the level cap will raise to 20 when level 6 comes out. The reason there is a level cap is that I haven't made all the attack animations, and assets for all the pokemon and attacks. I spend a good amount of time on each attack making sure that it's just right. Some attacks don't even fit the tower defense model, for example sand attack, and these take a little bit longer to figure out a good alternative for them.
Finally, the next update will include: Releasing your pokemon, the first gym match, and an improved party select screen. I want to make the first gym match feel epic, but I have been thinking that it would be a little too easy if you have squirtle or bulbasaur. I'm going to have to do something about that :)
The new update should be out less than a week from today!
That's all I have for now. Thank for reading, and let me know what you think!

Thanks for sharing. I can respect that you need time and I don't want to impede your life. I would like to say that this game is really awesome and very impressive. Its also inspiring how receptive you are to feedback. I am sure everyone would be willing to donate or allow advertisements on the main screen. But truly this game is beautiful and I just wanted to say thanks for such a fun game
ReplyDelete Thank you for your update sam, I hear you with full time job and girlfriend, I myself am employed and getting married in 13 weeks, plus 5 kids between us, so I know how precious time Is :)
Take your time and make each update the best you can :) Trust me, your game is well worth the wait :) I'm so amazed at how integrated you have made the world of pokemon with the classic gamplay of tower defence... truly amazing :)This game is awesome excellent work man. I,know what you mean by the school and full time job I was there not to long ago, and I was not trying to make an awesome game at the same time. I wqs lucky to find this game to but I'm so addicted already. I just keep replaying the levels I have like 5k. O yeah is there ever gonna be a poke store or sumthing, game doesn't need it. But just curious

Just to let you know, Droid Gamers did an article on your game yesterday. It's the only reason I even heard about it.

cant wait for the update man! take your time! this game is so well thought and all the animations are prefect and the storyline is hilarious, so i know why you want to make it perfect. Keep up the incredible work! Pokemon tower defense fan forever! woo!~ :D
ReplyDelete Amazing job I found this in my app market place under new top downloads and thought this was incredible I sent this to all my friends so now 8 of us play it lol. Just one question about trading pokemon, I have the HTC evo and most of my friends have the Droid x will i be able to trade with them or how does that work? Other than that amazing game thank you and can't wait for updates. =D
ReplyDelete- SouthernSonMarch 24, 2011 at 7:20 PM
The game is great and a shock that it is free you could make some good money think a dollor times 11000 and counting
ReplyDelete When is the next update due sam and when is the gym going to come into it im eager to see the structure and way you play the gyms will therr be the weaker trainers pokemon in the gym before the leader then the leaders 3-4 pokemon will come on as joys pidgey on route one and a pokemart sound great asset too ;)

I just want to say your game is truly amazing!
When I first saw the pikachu I was interested in catching it but then I somehow remembered that it needs a thunder rock to evolve so I wanted to share the idea of maybe having a store where you buy rocks and stuff to evolve pokemon.
Please do keep on working on this game. I'm a big fan of pokemon, the last generation seems little weird. That's pretty much it but once again truly amazing! - SouthernSonMarch 24, 2011 at 11:56 PM
I think I might be playing to much I have 5 pikachus 6 butterfrees 6 beedrills and 13000 dollors
ReplyDelete Good thing you told me that about the electric gym, i'll have to use pikachu as support. Yea nicknaming pokemon would be a nice touch that I thought about a while back, and would be especially nice in multiplayer. I want a shiny form of my charmander so bad XD I think maybe in the future when there is a greater number of levels you should condense the level select screen
ReplyDeleteHey sam like the game really good...plz dont make the game short make a lot of levels like that i can never stop playing..awesome only one thing though u should make some challenging levels and chances to win strong pokemon like lugia, garidos,etc. That will be awesome cant wait for update...
ReplyDelete@ luigi well this is a gen 1 based game solely so lugia is out of the question. But the three legendary birds might be possible and mayyybe mewtwo but he's almost too strong. Mew would be awesome too he's my favorite too cute.
Item drop idea sounds complicated.. how might one use one in-game without scrolling through a list of items? This would be even stranger in multiplayer. If items are dropped im thinking the least complicated to integrate would be evolution stones. However the egg idea might be pretty cool, evolving it by bringing it with you into battle. How would you sort anf organize eggs in your box though? Would what is in the egg be a random surprise? Im thinking money should be possible to use for things other than evolution, because I have like eight thousand yen or whatever.. Unless money from killed pokemon starts going up to normalize it I'm going to have an insane amount of spare cash.Just adding, if legendary pokemon are considered then they should be toward the very end and maybe have a one legendary only rule put on your team. Also, I wanted to add that if the amount of cash earned for kills doesn't increase as the game goes on then there will be no incentive to kill pokemon in higher levels to earn cash as opposed to "farming" viridian forrest. This being said evolution cost increase increments would have to be raised as well to accommodate the higher income.

You should consider in-app items :) I heard its coming next week to be able to purchase in-app stuff in a Android
ReplyDelete I love your game it was mentioned in an article on pocketgamer.co.uk
Please dont have in app purchases id rather just pay for the game and then it will be a level playing field when you bring things like multiplayer.
Also maybe we could have to buy pokeballs in future in order to catch pokemon so that we have to start to choose between levelling up our team but also catching new pokemon. Especially when you get to more powerful pokemon.
Keep up the great work definitely one of the best games ive played recently@Vincent - Thanks! How's France?
@Richard - I'm happy to hear that what others might see as a nightmare, is something that you treasure :)
@Luigi - Challenging levels, sounds good, Legendary pokemon will be in the game definitely.
@Joshua - the way I'm visualizing items right now, is that you use them outside the level but not during the levels. Also yes higher level pokemon will give out more money then lower level ones, also the amount of exp giving will increase also.
@Anonymous - Sadly I won't be able to use that feature in any of my games since I develop in Flash, and not Java.
@Sam - If, and I mean IF, I were to have in-app purchases or micro transactions, they would be purely cosmetic, or something that would save you time. For example, something purely cosmetic would be shiny pokemon, they aren't any better they just have a different color scheme. Also something that would save you time, lets say it takes a long time to level from 99 to 100, well you might be able to buy a rare candy to speed that up. Again I'm not saying this is going to happen, but if it did I would not put anything that would give anybody an edge in multiplayer.- AnonymousMarch 25, 2011 at 9:46 AM
Great game love it! Not only do l play every day but I also check out your posts and all the comments daily. Cant wait for more!
ReplyDelete - SouthernSonMarch 25, 2011 at 12:11 PM
Will we be able to catch the other starters at so point that is one thing that sucked about the other game
ReplyDelete @Vincent - What I mean to say is how are things in France.
@Agraceful23 - The last 3 pikachu are "bosses" so you can't catch them, be on the look out for other pikachu that might show up in the level.
As for a way to gain the candies back, there might be a pokemon move that will allow that.- SouthernSonMarch 25, 2011 at 7:02 PM
Which game has juto and the first region it has been so long and this game makes me want to play it agin
ReplyDelete @ southernson you are thinking of gold and silver, and more recently heart gold and soul silver
I think it would be really cool to add a small chance that a pokemon is shiny and maybe make it catchable at half health or something so we don't kill it off lowering its health.
I was also saying that if you try to profit from the game you might be accused of copyright infringement, so maybe just try not to profit? Idk.- BrandonMarch 26, 2011 at 12:39 AM
Just curious. Im sure u hear this alot. But giving a ball park answer. When do you think the updates will be complete? So I stop checking every ten minutes. Lol.
ReplyDelete Ok I've got quite a lot of inquiries..
1. Since level cap is determined by beating gyms I think there should be something on the game to prevent people from receiving too highly leveled pokemon through trade.
2. I think shiny pokemon randomly encountered should be made detachable as soon as they appear to prevent killing them trying to lower their health.
3. Will growl only have an effect in multiplayer as well? Because in game pokemon don't "attack" the candy
4. How will we be able to obtain pokemon like porygon, eevee, mr. mime, etc. will there be a side game to earn coins for them?
5. Will there be any multiplayer type gameplay where our own pokemon must reclaim rare candies from team rocket or something?- AnonymousMarch 26, 2011 at 10:37 AM
Great game! But I think for the first gym you should not put something in to make it hard for squirtle/bulbasaur because in the actual game it starts out easy for them but gets harder towards the end while it starts out hard for charmander and gets easier and usually you start the game with that understanding. Also, maybe after a certain level pokemon can't gain xp from a pokemon of a lower level. Maybe a five level difference. For example a level 10 can't gain xp from a level 5 to help prevent farming
ReplyDelete @Matt - I'm changing quick play into challenge mode, it will have levels like something that you mentioned. Also I don't charge for the games because I want as many people as possible to play and enjoy it.
@Joshua - 1. Good thinking, it might be like the game where if you don't have a gym badge the pokemon won't listen to you.
2. Good suggestion I will take it into consideration, the chances might be even lower than 1/81996 in this game, maybe. I want shinnies to be something you can earn or buy rather than be lucky at.
3. Growl has an effect right now, which is like a 10% chance to turn the enemy around, that is what I decided the attack stat is going to mean when you are defending.
4. There will be a way to obtain those, haven't decided exactly how.
5. There will be multiplayer that you get to attack, haven't done all the details.
@Anonymous - The first gym will end up being of equal challenge regardless of who you started with, in black/white but they give you the piece you need, I'm taking away the piece hehe.
Your second suggestion is really good, it reminds me a lot of World of Warcraft and how they have grey mobs that don't give exp. That might be something that I will do.
Thanks for the feedback everyone!- AnonymousMarch 26, 2011 at 11:17 AM
Hey Sam can you tell me what are the exact in detailed features of the next update in point form?thanks
ReplyDelete - hamdaanMarch 26, 2011 at 11:20 AM
Hey after you finish the whole version for this game,will you be making a pokemon tower defence off a different version?like crystal version?
ReplyDelete @Anonymous - As of right now:
- Able to release your pokemon.
- Level 5, The first Gym
- New party select screen (it uses dragging now, instead of tapping)
-Bug fixes for:
Pokemon learning moves twice.
Pokemon being put into random spots on the screen.
Moving the level select back button.
What it doesn't have is:
No new level cap, no new pokemon to catch :(- AnonymousMarch 26, 2011 at 12:26 PM
I just want to say I love this game and you have my support as well as all my friends
ReplyDelete When we finally get more pokemon and higher levels, I'm really hoping for some variety in moves.
Some could have an 'area of effect' damage (earthquake, blizzard, surf, etc.), while others could have a longer range (rock throw, swift, water gun, etc.)
Just out of curiosity, how do you plan on handling moves like hi jump kick, double-edge, and explosion (since defenders currently don't take damage)?By FAR the best Android game I have ever played. 5 stars. (: I speak for all of us when I say I appreciate the time and effort you've put into this masterpiece.
Obviously the level cap would need to go up eventually (Since I got all 6 Pokemon at level 10 in under an hour :b), but except for that, this game is amazing.@Dillon - Thanks for the feedback, I will def make moves like earthquake and blizzard, have a different feel, and cover more ground ect, while still keeping them balanced so that you aren't just spamming those.
For moves like explosion, that harm you, those either will have a longer cooldown, or will disable you for a bit, this upcoming gym match will feature something that will disable your pokemon for a bit, don't want to give too much away. But once you see it, you might be able to imagine what using explosion might do to your pokemon.
@Mikey - I really appreciate it, you and everybody coming to the site and posting. The level cap will go up, I might make leveling take a little longer so that people don't reach it so fast, but honestly I don't mind people reaching it as fast.- AnonymousMarch 26, 2011 at 4:30 PM
Will we be allowed to catch legendary pokemon later on?
ReplyDelete - AnonymousMarch 26, 2011 at 4:55 PM
I love your game for starters, but i was wondering if in the multiplayer there would be any co-op levels or 2v2 modes. Also how are we going to get trade pokemon like golem?

I can't capture new pokemon on my htc desire. When I try to drop the pokeball on one, nothing happens. Am I doing it wrong?
ReplyDelete - AnonymousMarch 31, 2011 at 5:10 PM
i have a bug -
i got to the gym leader( starting with charmendar and RED), i have three other pokemons - pikachu pidgey and ratata, and when i put charmendar in my list and start the level, he disappears.
even if he is the only one there, he is not an option for me to put on the screen once the level start.
and i can't beat the level like that=[[[[[[[[[[
please fix it!

Title: | Proliferation Resistance and Physical Protection Robustness Characteristics of Innovative and Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems |
Authors: | SEVINI FILIPPO; COJAZZI GIACOMO; RENDA GUIDO |
Citation: | The 29th ESARDA Annual Meeting p. 1-16 |
Publisher: | Office for Official Publications of the European Commission |

Type: | Articles in periodicals and books |
Abstract: | Since the early seventies, a lot of effort has been put in trying to define/evaluate the proliferation resistance of nuclear energy systems and their associated nuclear fuel cycles. Past studies put in evidence how it wasn't possible to conceive a proliferation-free nuclear fuel cycle (hence the need of a suitable safeguard system), but also stressed that not all the available options are equivalent. The topic has become of renewed interest in the context of the innovative reactor and nuclear energy systems design concepts, presently under development. New reactors will have to exhibit and demonstrate enhanced features with respect to the existing ones. It is common practice to classify Proliferation Resistance (PR) and Physical Protection (PP) characteristics of a system in intrinsic, i.e. belonging to the system, and extrinsic, such as those related to the application of international safeguards. This paper will summarise in a critical way some of the Proliferation Resistance & Physical Protection (PR&PP) intrinsic features as emerged so far in a number of studies and reports available in this field and can contribute to provide a first input to designers to brainstorm on a number of possible requirements. This survey is part of JRC activity in contribution to Generation IV International Forum (GIF). |

Simon Cowell has been bombarded with sickening messages on Twitter.com over a donation he made to a fund for Israeli soldiers.
The X Factor boss handed $150,000 to the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces at a fundraising gala in Beverly Hills, California last year.
However, the conflict in the Middle East erupted again this month and several protesters on Twitter have since sent the music mogul hate-filled messages and gruesome photographs of victims of the fighting.
One user told Cowell, "You have blood on ur (your) hands" and another posted a photo of a father holding his dead baby, alongside the message, "U (you) donated money to Israel to do this. Now imagine this was ur (your) child."
FIDF was founded by Holocaust survivors in 1981 and provides support for Israeli soldiers.

The Saarland is basin, in the geologic sense a syncline, the downbent part of a huge wave-like deformation of the crust. The whole area was in a continuous downlift during a certain period of time called the variszian orogeny. The synclinale and the bordering ridges run in northeast-southwest direction. The northern ridge is the geologic structure of Rhenoherzynikum, the landscape is called Hunsrück. The southern border is the Saxothuringikum which is formed by the Pfälzer Wald.
This basin and ridge structure is crossing the whole central Europe. It starts in the east with Harz-Thüringer Becken-Thüringer Wald and ends in the west with Ardennes-Paris Basin-Vosges. The basin ends in the area of Paris.
The central basin was sedimentation area during the Middle and Upper Devon, whenn shallow water limestone was deposited. This limestones cover the basin in mighty layers. But as this is a basin, ther is no drainage and thus no baseflow and no karstification. Only at the northen rim, where the Hunsrück ridge forces the limestone layers up, they are a little karstified.
The basin was formed mainly during Upper Devon and Lower Carbon. At this time the basin was continually downlifted, but also the northern and southern ridges where uplifted. The uplifted ridges were erodes, the material transported to the basin and so the deposited rocks of this time sandstones, conglomerates and silt. In the Carbon the area was covered by abundand forests, growing in warm climate and most of the time forming a huge swamp, where the wood did not rot, but formed huge layers of peat. This peat was covered by sandstone or conglomerates and the next forest grew. In this periodic process during the Upper Carbon numerous layers of biogene material were deposited, which were transformed into coal by pressure and heat.
The Upper Carbon coal formation in the basin is approximately 4,500m thick and contains 150 coal leads with more than 60cm size, which means about 190m of mineable coal. This coal contains more ash and more gases than the coal from the Ruhr area nearby. It is used to produce coalite in a special coalite process.

Small towns all across America have seen an influx in golf carts on the roadways. With a top speed of 15 miles per hour, you don't typically think of them being involved in serious accidents with injuries. However, according to the Consumer Products Safety Commission, there are approximately 15,000 golf cart related injuries requiring emergency room treatments in the U.S. each year. What happens if you are involved in an accident? Will you be covered?
Homeowners Policies
Most Homeowners Insurance Policies either have special terms that are specifically tailored to golf cart use or allude to golf carts as "recreational vehicles."
Coverage for the homeowner typically depends on where the accident occurs. Most Homeowners Insurance Policies do not cover golf cart accidents unless (a) the accident occurs on a golf course; or (b) the accident occurs at the homeowner's home.
This means an accident that occurs when the insured is driving to a neighbor's house, through a park, or to the neighborhood pool would probably not be covered by a Homeowners Insurance Policy. On the other hand, if, for example, the homeowner accidentally runs over his boss during his company's annual golf outing, the homeowner would probably be covered.
If the homeowner's child, parent, brother, sister, friend, etc. is responsible for the accident, they will usually be covered by the homeowner's policy if (a) the accident occurs on a golf course or at the homeowner's home; (b) the homeowner owns the golf cart; and (c) the child, parent, brother, sister, friend, etc. is using the golf cart with the homeowner's permission.
Automobile Policies
Automobile insurers often claim that their policies do not provide coverage for golf carts. Generally, the policies limit coverage to vehicles that are designed to be used on public streets and highways. Most manufacturers of golf carts specifically instruct owners not to use the golf cart on a public road.
The Gap
Because the average Homeowner's Insurance Policy limits coverage to accidents that occur at the homeowner's home and the average Automobile Insurance Policy excludes coverage for golf carts, golf cart accidents can pose a serious risk of personal loss if an accident occurs at a park, on a neighborhood street, or elsewhere.
In some instances, an automobile insurer may offer an addendum that provides coverage for golf carts. Insureds should be encouraged to speak to their insurance companies to determine if they have coverage and, if not, how they can get coverage.
Common Injuries
Golf cart standards require accessible handholds and restraints that prevent the passengers from sliding to the outside of the vehicle. Most golf carts have semicircle bars that rise up from each side of the bench seat and are designed to serve as handholds and restraints from sliding out of the cart. These bars don't provide enough restraint during a roll-over and wouldn't eliminate the possibility of being ejected during certain situations.
Children represent a large portion of all ejection accident victims. Consumer Products Safety Commission statistics indicate that approximately 40% of all golf cart accidents involve children and 50% of these involve a fall from a moving cart. The easiest way to reduce this number is to require seatbelts for golf carts that are used on the roadways.
Seemingly harmless behavior could result in an accident. The Consumer Products Safety Commission statistics tell us that golf cart accidents can result in serious injuries—including death. If you own and operate a golf cart, we urge you use caution on the roadways and be responsible when behind the wheel. When the cart is stopped, make sure the brake is in the locked position. If kids are operating the cart, make sure they're aware of the dangers.
Our personal injury attorneys have handled several cases involving injuries due to golf cart accidents. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured due to a golf cart accident, contact one of our personal injury attorneys to discuss your situation and evaluate your legal options.

Factbox: What Tepco Aims To Achieve At Its Crippled Nuclear Plant
A worker at Japan's tsunami-crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant died on Saturday, plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co said, bringing the death toll at the complex to three since a massive earthquake and tsunami in March. The cause of the death was unknown. The man, in his 60s, was employed by one of Tokyo Electric's contractors and started working at the plant on Friday. He was exposed to 0.17 millisieverts of radiation on Saturday, Tokyo Electric said.
The Japanese government's maximum level of exposure for male workers at the plant is 250 millisieverts for the duration of the effort to bring it under control. The worker fell ill 50 minutes after starting work at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday (2100 GMT on Friday) and brought to the plant's medical room unconscious. He was later moved to a nearby hospital and confirmed dead, a Tokyo Electric spokesman said.
Working conditions at the plant are harsh. Goshi Hosono, a special adviser to Prime Minister Naoto Kan and a ruling Democratic Party lawmaker, voiced concerns about the working environment at the Fukushima complex on Wednesday. "I would like to spend my energy to improve working conditions. Many people told us working environment (at the plant) is way too bad," Hosono told a news conference. The magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami on March 11 triggered cooling system malfunctions at the plant, and caused radiation to leak into the atmosphere and the ocean.
Engineers are still struggling to bring the plant under control. Two Tokyo Electric employees went missing while patrolling the plant soon after the quake and were later found dead.

I finished two good books this week (which I can talk about, there's also a novel that I critiqued for my friend Sue Moorcroft, which I can't talk about yet), so I thought I'd let you know about them.
The first was "Fortunately, The Milk", by Neil Gaiman - it's designated as a children's book and I read it with Dude over a couple of nights but it works a treat for adults too.
Dad (looking remarkably like Gaiman himself) is left to look after the house and kids when Mum goes to a business conference, though he's given a long list of things to do. His priority is not to forget the milk - which he does - and so the next morning he has to go and get some from the corner shop. The story is his explanation, to the kids, about why it took him so long.
I had a lot of fun with this book, which I read to Dude (who's 8) over two nights and his response, when we'd finished, was "That was awesome!" And he's absolutely right, it's a terrifically funny and inventive tale, of a Dad making up an ever more unlikely story that his kids - even though they don't really believe him - thoroughly enjoy (and that struck a chord with me too). From green globby aliens (lots of snot) to Priscilla, Queen of the Pirates, Professor Steg and his wonderful Floaty-Ball-Person-Carrier to Splod (a god), brightly coloured ponies and wumpires (vampires who talk with a pronounced accent that is amusing to try and read aloud) and police dinosaurs on space bikes, the pace never lets up. Taking in time-travel (and peculiar breaks in the time space continuum), two pints of milk that can't touch and the perils of eating dry cereal, this is great fun from start to finish.
Lavishly illustrated by Chris Riddell (whose style Dude recognised, as he'd drawn the characters for the Creepy House Reading challenge last summer), this is a great read that both of us really enjoyed and I highly recommend it.
The second was a graphic novel called "Cemetery Girl", by Charlaine Harris & Christopher Golden, illustrated by Don Kramer
The book opens in dramatic fashion, with a young girl being attacked, drugged and left for dead in Dunhill Cemetery. Realising that someone has tried to kill her, but with no other memory of the past, she decides to hide out in the cemetery itself, living in a crypt and stealing food and items from local houses (and also from the caretaker). She calls herself Calexa Rose Dunhill - names she finds around her - and watching a funeral, sees a spirit escape from a tarpaulin covered grave. One night, she witnesses a group of teenagers carrying out an occult ritual, which doesn't work. Later, at another funeral, she recognises the fleeing spirit as part of that group (he was killed by a drunk driver) and when they come back for another go, she watches in horror as they murder Marla, the sister of their dead friend. But Marla doesn't ascend, instead transferring to Calexa, taking up the empty space and making her a "haunted house". As Marla settles in, her memories and visions overwhelm Calexa and she has a decision to make - to continue to hide to protect herslef or trying to bring justice to the sad spirit who needs her help.
I don't often read comics or graphic novels but this has such a great pedigree - and JF Books produce a great product - that I decided to give it a go and I'm glad I did. It's well written, immediate and smart, violent and poignant and although there are some small areas of repetition, it has a quick pace. The characters, especially Calexa, Marla and Lucinda Cameron, an old woman who spots her stealing and takes an interest in her (whilst bestowing her with the name 'cemetery girl') are clear and defined and the cemetery makes a great location. The artwork, by Don Kramer who has worked with both Marvel and DC, is very detailed and captures the mood of the cemetery well (I like my art clear and defined so I thought his work complimented the words perfectly, though a graphic novel aficionado might disagree with me).
Firing on all cylinders, well presented and a beautiful object in itself (I read the hardback edition with glossy pages), I enjoyed the story and the artwork and would very much recommend it.

As we already mentioned, the Universal a capella comedy Pitch Perfect was one of our biggest surprises of the year. Successfully taking a Bring It On approach while mixing in an energetic tone amongst its up-and-coming cast, the film was a hit with audiences as well, taking in nearly $80 million off a budget less than $20 million.
While this news usually lands around the time of initial release, with the home video bow now occurring, we've got news a sequel is in the works. Speaking with Movieweb, star Skylar Astin said that Universal is already talking to their stars about a follow-up, with Rebel Wilson having a meeting last week and Astin's meeting coming up next week. While nothing is signed, he said, "It's definitely a talking point."
The star also opened up about where he'd like to see the new film go, in terms of musical choices."I think that I am willing to do anything. I like to collaborate. If my voice will be heard, than I will do some research and think about it. There are definitely times where I am listening to the radio, and I think, "That would be awesome. I would love to sing that," Astin exclaimed. He added, "It's this weird karaoke fantasy that I might someday get to live out on the big screen. Then again, I know there are so many politics in that decision-making. Also relevance. If we film this next year, and it doesn't come out for another year and a half, will that song still be popular? Will it be over played?"
He did agree that this first film hit at just about the ideal time, saying, "I think they did such a perfect job. The music landed so perfectly when it came out the first time, I can't imagine, if the same people are involved, that lightening won't strike twice. I will sing whatever they want me to sing." If that means Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow, Wilson, Adam DeVine, Elizabeth Banks and more all also back, we'd be down as well. As we've seen with other films in this genre (like the aforementioned Bring It On), sequels haven't been as successful, so hopefully this team can replicate the same magic on a second go-around.
Were you surprised by Pitch Perfect? Are you looking forward to a sequel?

11 June 2016, New York — Hedge funds and other big speculators cut their net-long, or bullish, position in U.S. crude this week for the first time in a month, trade data showed on Friday, indicating concern the oil market may not be sustained at $50 a barrel.
Managed money's combined net longs in U.S. crude futures and options in both New York and London fell by 11,478 contracts to 244,055 contracts during the week to June 7, data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) showed.
In three previous weeks tracked by the CFTC, the managed net long position rose nearly 40,000 contracts, or 40 million barrels, in all.
Long-only positions grew again in the latest week covered by the CFTC, but short positions, representing bearish bets, exceeded those.
Investors in oil have turned bearish since U.S. crude's West Texas Intermediate (WTI) benchmark hit an eight-month high of $50.53 a barrel on June 7.
On Friday, WTI settled on Friday at $49.07, down 3 percent for its largest one-day slide since early April.
"A lot of the supply disruptions that drove the market to $50 are being resolved. There are also signs that at these prices, U.S. oil production is likely to climb," said John Kilduff, a partner at New York energy hedge fund Again Capital.
Both WTI and futures of global oil benchmark Brent have risen some 90 percent from 13-year lows hit during the winter, helped by supply disruptions in Nigeria, Canada, Libya and Venezuela.
Prior to that, worries about a global crude glut drove prices down between mid-2014 and the first quarter of 2016 to below $30 from above $100 a barrel.
The U.S. oil rig count rose this week for a second week in a row, with drillers adding three rigs after last week's nine, data showed. [RIG/U]
Before that, oil rigs had fallen on average by 10 per week this year. Last year, they slumped by an average of 18 a week as low crude prices made it uneconomical to drill.
"This looks like the beginning of a trend that will translate to the slowing down of U.S. crude production declines," said Tariq Zahir, a trader and energy portfolio manager at Tyche Capital Advisors in New York.
The oil rally of the past few months has triggered a wave of hedging among U.S. producers, looking to lock in future output.
Producer short positions in U.S. crude futures and options fell during the week to June 7, but still hovering near highs hit early in May, the CFTC data showed.

Jose2017-01-15T00:00:00ZGreat stay once again, thank you.
Suzanne2016-11-25T00:00:00ZBest airbnb, I stayed one night and wished I could stay longer. The place is beautiful, quite and is much better than the pictures. It is spacious and very clean. They were the best hosts and Sue was very nice and helpful. Thank you!
Alejandra2017-02-07T00:00:00ZSue and Graham are lovely hosts. They made us feel very welcome and gave us tips on where to eat in the evening. We were able to make breakfast for ourselves using the plentiful supplies Sue had very thoughtfully provided. We would thoroughly recommend staying here. Very comfy bed!
Roger2017-03-06T00:00:00ZSue and Graham's home was beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay. The views were amazing and the location was wonderfully peaceful. Breakfast was perfect for our needs and they have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We couldn't have wished for better from our first Airbnb stay!
Andrew2017-01-31T00:00:00ZWe absolutely loved staying at Sue and Graham's place. The area was peaceful and beautiful, and the room was very comfortable. Sue and Graham were very friendly and incredibly willing to give ideas and tips on what to do and what to see. We would love to stay here again in the future.
Taryn2017-01-19T00:00:00ZYou must visit this place. It gives every busy couple the ability to dream. If you want to picture lifestyle yet a rural way to live then this is a go to place. From the second you enter Sue and Graham's place you will feel welcomed. You will feel like just relaxing and having the ability to dream big.
Zuricka2016-12-24T00:00:00ZFantastic stay! This is by far the best airbnb experience we had on our trip. The house is beautiful and surrounded by their avocado orchard. After a nice morning walk through the orchards, we had a lovely talk with Graham. Sue & Graham are amazing and I can recommend their palce 100%. The room is super tidy, beautiful interior & a very comfy bed.

Tout était vraiment parfait.On s'y sentait comme à la maison. L'aménagement était très confortable . Tout était prévu pour le petit déjeuner ,meme beaucoup plus . Notre hôte à été parfaite . Je recommande vivement ce logement ,très calme dans la verdure très spacieux et vraiment très agréable.
axelle2016-12-22T00:00:00ZAwesome house! Big! Cosy! With Christmas spirit! Felt like home! Highly recommend!
Ivan2016-12-18T00:00:00ZHeather's place was well appointed, clean and spacious for 2 couples travelling together. Generous breakfast supplies were provided. Thank you.
Lyn2017-01-24T00:00:00ZTo anybody browsing through properties and tossing up where to go.. Stop your search now. This is where you want to be. It's a awesome value for money. The photos really don't do the place justice, it's absolutely beautiful in person, especially when the sun is shining. It is nice and Cozy, and has a very "home" feeling that you just can't get from a motel. There are plenty of facilities to fit all your needs, and the beds are very comfy. The icing on the cake is the Host. Heather will defiantly take care of you, above and beyond what's expected. She is very lovely, and will supply you with everything you need, she even did a trip out early hours of the morning when we locked ourselves out! Location is nice and quiet, and back section soaks up the sun very nicely. Supermarket is only 5 min away, and Tauranga is only a short drive. Overall awesome value, comfortable home, and a great host. 10/10
Jesse2017-02-06T00:00:00ZDon't even hesitate, if you looking for a place to stay not fussed about scenery and beach front etc it's perfect much better than I even thought. We just needed somewhere to rest our heads in between visiting locations in the area and this was perfect
Marc2017-01-28T00:00:00ZThe host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
KatharinaThe area is really nice and quiet, there is a big meadow outside the house and a field planted kiwi fruits and avocados.The breakfast including fruits Heather prepared for us was really good! The rooms have large space and two big bathrooms. It will be good for family.There is a nice hot spring near the house. You will enjoy the time staying there!Hope to come again!
舒2017-02-26T00:00:00ZHeather was very helpful and her place was fantastic. A home from home that had all you need and all the comfort you would want. I can highly recommend her place and we'll definitely be staying there again. Thanks Heather!

We stayed 1 night at the little cottage. We booked at short notice and Anne was very accommodating. The location was peaceful and the views from our porch were lovely. The house was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Anne was very helpful and we had everything we could need including breakfast, a fridge and access to laundry facilities.
Katelyn2017-03-11T00:00:00ZAn absolute gem and what a find! A beautiful and tranquil place to escape with delighful, caring and very interesting hosts. The cottage has been curated so tastefully and the setting and views are magic...a perfect escape yet an easy drive to Tauranga or Waihi for beaches and sightseeing. Anne and Geoffrey made us feel so welcome...highly recommend booking in before they are discovered!
Leigh & Alan2017-03-06T00:00:00ZThe Little Cottage hosted by Anne was a delight. A beautifully decorated space, where the attention to detail and dramatic surrounding country side, all combined to make for a pleasurable and relaxing place to stay. It's close to Tauranga and the beautiful beach at The Mount, and Anne and Geoffery were the best hosts, friendly and informative about the area when we asked them. It was wonderful to be able to sit on our own private deck and enjoy a drink watching the setting sun after a busy day taking in all the attractions that the region has to offer. Can not recommend highly enough!
Katikati, Bay of Plenty 3181, นิวซีแลนด์
A cool and unique place to stay. Great experience.
Sam2017-01-20T00:00:00ZWe enjoyed our stay at the Arc very much and highly recommend Kirsten's attention to detail. We had a great weekend. Many thanks.
Gary2017-01-30T00:00:00ZWe had a very pleasant stay at the Ark at Tui Ridge. Everything was clean, and we really enjoyed the quite surroundings a lot! Thank you very much, Kirsten!
Claus2016-01-23T00:00:00ZKirsten and Mike are lovely people and generous hosts who made us feel very welcome. The Ark was all prepared and is so cosy and nice. The other facilities were very clean and tidy and were all that we needed for our stay. We loved the dog and cat. Meg the dog is very well trained. The grounds are beautifully kept and park like. The views are fabulous. We loved our stay and felt relaxed when we left. Thank you
Jules2016-10-04T00:00:00ZWir haben uns bei Kirsten sehr wohlgefühlt und sie hat uns bei der Jobsuche geholfen. Die Hütte ist gemütlich und das Grundstück sehr schön. Bad und Aufenthaltsraum mit Küche ist ein paar Schritte von der Schlafhütte entfernt. Es wird zwar etwas kalt im Winter, trotzdem ist es schön sein eigenes Reich zu haben. Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt Kirsten!
Bianca2016-05-06T00:00:00ZThe ark was adorable! It just perfect for one or two people but the wifi doesn't reach the cabin and the toilet is separate so if it's rainy as it was when I visited, it's a bit inconvenient. The propriety is beautiful though and it was so nice to stay off the beaten path.
Hannah2016-09-24T00:00:00ZSo perfect! We loved it. Thank you Kristen and Mike!! :)
Noelia2016-12-07T00:00:00ZI loved staying in The Arc. Very comfortable bed, and a view out of the skylights of the stars. A private and secluded getaway with great scenic surroundings. Great for R&R. Facilities were clean and tidy. Mike welcomed me and let me know the information I needed RE the AirBnB, and Kirsten checked in every so often to make sure things were going ok. I liked the upscale 'glamping' feel of this AirBnB, but with more privacy and access to the guest facilities (i.e. not having to share it with a number of people). Fantastic experience.
Katikati, Bay of Plenty 3181, นิวซีแลนด์
Best stay we have had in New Zealand! ... We will definitely be back again for another visit :)
Anthone2016-08-29T00:00:00ZSuperb! Bath tubs were fantastic, house was spotless and the views are unbelievable. Host had heat on, farm fresh eggs, wine and fresh avocados for us. Perfect last night in new zealand. HIGHLY recommended
Steve2016-11-20T00:00:00ZThis location was the best stay in New Zealand. Joanne and her husband were the perfect host. We could not ask for more, we felt like home topped with a few surprises. If you see this post just book it, you will not be sorry.
Radu2016-04-03T00:00:00ZWe were made to feel beyond welcome in this amazing place! The last few km uphill gave a clue that lovely views were possible, but to pull up behind Joanne's flat, you wouldn't know what you were in for. Joanne was there to meet us and was so so welcoming! Then she led us around the corner to the small cottage they have built on the hilltop... The place is stunning. What strikes you immediately is the view, all the way down KatiKati and the bay of plenty and out to the islands beyond. The photos cannot do the views justice at all, yet neither can my prose. Suffice to say it was one of the may times on during our New Zealand honeymoon that we have both said "wow". But the charm of the place does not stop with the view. The whole building has been designed around it so you can see it from huge windows, wherever you are. The wooden decking and beams add to the natural feel of the place, whilst inside, the living areas are spacious and very well kitted out. The kitchen has everything you could want, dishwasher included, and most appliances play you a tune they are so happy to be used! Jo had kindly given us 2 bottles of wine, some chocolates, fresh eggs and avocados (!) from their farm, and lots of bubble bath and products for the baths (I'll come to those soon). What we really liked was how Jo provided more than we needed. There was coffee and tea in individual bags on display, just like a hotel. But then there were dozens more backups in the cupboard in case you ran out. The same was true of the shower products. Finally, when we left, Jo gave us more of their amazing eggs (the best I've had for years) and more avocados than we could eat in a year! If all of the above doesn't convince you to go, then take a brief look at the photo of the bathtubs before reading this bit.... We've never been anywhere with a feature like this. For a honeymoon couple, it was probably one of the most romantic times we have had. Once with the sunset, once under the stars. Truly magical and, indeed, the icing on a very well baked cake!
Lucy and Daniel2016-11-01T00:00:00ZBetter than any 5 star hotel or holiday accommodation we've ever stayed at! On top of the beautiful 180 degrees rural and sea views, Joanne's modern cottage was so tastefully fitted outside and in. Equipped with quality comforts as well as added luxury... it was very easy for us to sit back, relax and enjoy this beautiful home with our family. So much love and care had gone into making our stay perfectly wonderful... from decadent Belgian chocolates on our beds, organic tea, fresh eggs and avocados from their farms, romantic outdoor bath tubs to the most comfortable beds and fluffiest blankets/pillows ever! Thank you so much, we will definitely recommend to everyone we know :)
Nina2016-04-25T00:00:00ZA beautiful view and a confortable place to stay few days here.
Olivier2017-01-18T00:00:00ZAbsolutely LOVED staying here!! The baths are amazing! I got ready for my wedding and stayed a few days after was perfect place for it.
Vivian2016-11-27T00:00:00ZJoanne's place was amazing. The attention to detail and view combined make a fantastic getaway. We throughly enjoyed having a bath with a view. We will definitely stay again if in the area.

Mike and Jizzy's place is magical and cosy, and we loved staying with them. They were very helpful and welcoming, and the cabin was so nice and cosy. Great place to stay.
Marie2017-02-16T00:00:00ZThanks Mike and Jizzy we had a fabulous time staying with you. We hope to see you again soon.
Suzanne2016-08-22T00:00:00ZWe would highly recommend Mike and Jizzy's cottage. It is adorable!!. We were warmly welcomed and there was everything we needed plus more!. We greatly appreciated the delicious homemade muesli and stewed fruits for breakfast. The wee gifts of fruit, chocolates, flowers and a variety of teas helped to make our stay truly memorable. Being able to sit and enjoy the gorgeous garden was an added bonus. Thank you for providing such a lovely place for us to explore the area!
Gillian2016-01-06T00:00:00ZAmazing place! Half way between Waihi and Tauranga. Unbelievable garden. Exceptionally hospitable and friendly hosts. Highly recommended!
Poh Lin2016-01-02T00:00:00ZWe were looking to unwind for the weekend and Mike & Jizzy's place was the perfect getaway! The moment we arrived, they welcomed us with their warm and pleasant personality. It felt like we stepped into a spa resort. The cabin was rustic yet modern, clean, spacious and luxurious for the both of us. We were surprised when they said that the toilet and bathroom were private for our use only. Both were clean and the shower was excellent. We enjoyed relaxing outside with the peace and tranquility of the surrounding greens. Breakfast was delicious home made muesli, yogurt and our personal favorite is their stewed pear. Mike and Jizzy made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable and recommended highlights around the area. They even gave us homemade marmalade and fruits from their garden for our journey home! We could tell that they take pride in getting every detail perfect and we hope to stay again at this hidden gem in Katikati! Highly recommended :)
Edmund & Stephanie2016-03-02T00:00:00ZIt was my first Air BnB experience and I really loved it! Jizzy and Mike are a wonderful and very friendly couple who gave me a warm welcome and made it quiet easy for me to fell at home. I had everything I needed, even a bathroom for my own use and the garden and the hut are lovely. Probably the most wonderful start of a journey ever. :)
Savannah2016-01-29T00:00:00ZJizzy and Mike are very lovely people and made as a heart warming welcome. The accomadation was very cosy, super clean and decorated with flowers. Thank you guys for the home made muesli, self grown lemons and all the other goodies!!! I would highly recomend staying at GreeNZ Peace to everyone.
Hannah2016-01-02T00:00:00ZHad a very pleasant stay with Mike and Jizzy. We were in Katikati for a family wedding and just needed a bed, but their garden chalet was a lovely little 'home' for four days, and a peaceful respite from all the drama involved in a family wedding. Everything we could have needed, lovely cereal, fruit and home-made preserves for breakfast. Chalet, shared bathroom and toilet spotless. Morning visits and cuddles from Shanti the cat. Ideal if you want some restful peace and quiet, and still be a short walk from the village shops. Thanks Jizzy and Mike.

Paul and Penny are very good and warm host, they help us alots throughout our staying period. Paul is very skillful, he creates and builds almost everything on his own, and he is good on fixing too! They have a lovely house, with almost everything you need, just exactly like they wrote in Airbnb facilities, and very big garden too! The neighborhood is tidy, clean and spacious. Penny has prepares us bath towels and helps us to wash the bath towels every few days! Their cats are adorable, but just too shy to strangers. If you are looking for some place with quiet and peace of mind, this is definitely suitable for you. Besides, the songs they played are pretty cool and relaxing. Definitely and strongly recommend to anyone of you!
Joyen2016-09-20T00:00:00ZNice place and Penny is friendly. Quiet place and my family like it.
Ah2017-02-08T00:00:00ZThe studio was cosy, clean and quiet. Penny & Paul were nice, helpful and good communication.
Hoang2017-03-02T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful night's stay at Paul's place. The place is really beautiful and the skies were blanketed by stars at night. Paul and Penny were also really friendly and welcoming. Overall a really great experience, recommend!
Wan Qing 2016-12-28T00:00:00ZPaul and Penny are friendly and welcoming hosts. Very knowledgeable about the area. Set in a beautiful peaceful & quiet location which is perfect for down time. Even got to try yummy grapes from their orchard. Will go back again in the future.
Anna2017-02-15T00:00:00ZPaul & Penny's place is just an amazing place to stay. The room is very neat and tidy, cozy and spacious and you have a lot of privacy. If you're lucky you will hear them sing and play their songs. They have great tips for local walks, waterfalls and other things to do, but even just chilling around the house for some peace and quiet would be an awesome way to spend your day. We would definitely recommend booking in for a few nights more than you are actually planning to because you just don't want to leave! From this location it's only a short drive to other beautiful sites, so book in and relax!
Corry2017-02-13T00:00:00ZPaul and Penny were incredibly welcoming and were always willing to help us in any way they could! We all felt very humbled by the generosity of their time, knowledge and friendliness. We had a wonderful stay there in beautiful surroundings of flowers and greenery! We would all stay here again without second of a doubt and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of staying in the area!
Hazelanne2017-01-04T00:00:00ZThis is a country retreat. We had fresh figs given to us when we arrived from the fig tree in the garden. They were delicious and so were the avocados. It was good for us as we were looking at lifestyle properties in the area.
Katikati, Bay of Plenty 3181, นิวซีแลนด์
Perfect little getaway. A lovely, relaxing, peaceful place to spend a few days. Marianna was a wonderful host and communication was very easy. The location is absolutely stunning with gorgeous views and lots of tracks and trails to hike. Lovely to come back from a walk and chill by the pool. The unit itself has all you need. We would definitely recommend Marianna's place if you want to recharge and relax. Amazing!
Lottie2017-02-04T00:00:00ZWhat a lovely farm stay! Marianna made sure we had basic groceries in the fridge and took great care of us on our stay. The views are amazing and it is close to a lot of things in the Bay of Plenty. Would definitely recommend!

Avocado cottage was great, spacious and clean. It was everything it advertised. Close to town, peaceful with a lovely view.
Marcia and Robin2017-01-08T00:00:00ZGreat cottage, private, clean, everything provided. And beautiful Avos of course. Thank you !
Ruben2016-12-09T00:00:00ZSpacious, private and well equiped cottage nestled next to large avocado trees.
Brandon2017-01-06T00:00:00ZThe hosts made us feel very welcome on our arrival. The home was private as it was surrounded by trees. The porta-cot was really good and It was one of our first trips away with our 5 month old son. He slept very well. They made sure that we had everything that needed. We really enjoyed our stay at Avocado and would definitely recommend. It was relaxing and quiet.
Alexsandra2016-12-09T00:00:00ZAvocado cottage is a lovely, spacious, modern, well equipped cottage in a scenic and tranquil setting. You would need a car to get to nearby shops, restaurants and attractions. The grounds are very attractive and well maintained. The hosts are gracious and helpful and respected our privacy. It was an excellent value for our dollar and very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend it and would stay again given the opportunity.
Gail2017-03-07T00:00:00ZHad an absolutely wonderful stay. Great and well equipped little cottage, gorgeous surroundings, beautiful view, and fantastic hosts. Also a short drive away from great hiking tracks and other attractions. Would definitely stay here again.
Eivind Andreas2017-02-07T00:00:00ZAwesome place, Awesome and Friendly people. would be back hopefully soon. Thank you so much.
Katikati, Bay of Plenty 3178, นิวซีแลนด์
Convenient spot to explore the walking tracks of the Kaiamais and the inlets and beaches from Te Puna to Waihi. We loved the rural setting and appreciated Robert's advice about places to cycle. Comfy bed and all the kitchen appliances we needed.
Jeanne2017-01-02T00:00:00ZBob is so welcoming, accomodating and easygoing. House was clean, comfortable and warm for a family with 2 toddlers. Probably would be a bit tight for four adults being a small 2bed cottage. But has ever thing you need. Even got some laundry done:) We'll definitely be back. Thanks so much.
Debbie2016-08-06T00:00:00ZExcellent. Highly recommend.
peter2016-08-13T00:00:00ZGreat location. Warm cute cottage. Lovely fresh eggs and tangy lime marmalade a welcome bonus!
Victoria2016-08-28T00:00:00ZCompact but comfortable, in a lovely rural setting.
Sharlene2016-10-10T00:00:00ZAwesome quiet place . very nice people . thank you .
Adam2017-02-13T00:00:00ZRobert was a great Hostess. My mom was sick and he helped us to sort everything out with the local medical center. The place is nice and so peaceful. The egg for breakfast was a bonus! We really enjoy our stay there! I definitely recommend this place :)
Noelia2016-10-12T00:00:00ZGreat stay - comfortable, well appointed scenic. Extra greens and herbs appreciated. Recommended!!

If you are coming up or down the Coromandel do not hesitate to stay at Paul & Shirley's place. Elisa and I had a wonderful time at their beautiful house. The house is very spacious and tidy, the bed is extremely comfortable. We felt as if we were at home with friends and family. Thank you Paul & Shirely !
Daniel2017-03-11T00:00:00ZPaul & Shirley are amazing hosts - the place is a great location close by to the shops in a quiet neighbourhood. Highly recommended!
Charles2017-01-23T00:00:00ZWonderful hosts and accommodations. I recommend highly.

NigelGreat place! Very quiet and relaxing.
Brittany2016-12-29T00:00:00ZBeautiful location /setting, perfect for a relaxing time away. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating.
Colin2016-11-27T00:00:00ZLovely and relaxing quiet and peaceful great place to stay . Helene and Graeme are the perfect hosts .
Caroline and William2017-01-07T00:00:00ZExquisite little cottage and garden. Wonderful hosts. Thank you so much Helene and Graeme.
Nikki2016-11-18T00:00:00ZMon Desir is simply a fabulous countryside retreat. Graeme and Helene are awesome hosts who made us feel at home. The cabin we stayed was very impressive and cosy. It is also quite nicely situated so we could make day trips to Tauranga and Rotorua. We live in the city and cannot have pets so the fact that Graeme and Helene have lots of animals was a fantastic bonus for us. We loved playing with their pet dogs, Sammy and Charlie. We even fed eels in the stream on their property. I would definitely recommend Mon Desir to anyone who wants to escape from the city. See you again soon Graeme And Helene.
Ravi2016-03-29T00:00:00ZWe enjoyed the peaceful neighbourhood and the lovely grounds a mon desir. The animals were friendly as were the hosts. It was a lovely spot to stop and rest ourselves up for the rest of our journey.
Bethany2016-10-23T00:00:00ZThis place was absolutely fantastic !! From the property to the animals. We loved every second there.
Katikati, Bay of Plenty, นิวซีแลนด์
Lovely welcome and a very nice self contained cottage. There was a good selection of things for breakfast . We would stay again :)
Andrew2016-04-23T00:00:00ZMaureen has a lovely little cottage situated in a beautiful bush garden. The cottage is small, but has everything you need. Breakfast was just awesome. We could sit outside next to the cottage and enjoy the views with fresh fruit and home made jam and cookies. Maureen is very friendly, thus a highly recommended place!
Emile2016-02-01T00:00:00ZEinfache aber mit Liebe eingerichtete kleine Unterkunft welche von einem wunderbaren Garten umgeben ist. Wir empfehlen sie wärmstens.
Ruth & Patrick2017-01-30T00:00:00ZLogement au calme et serein, très reposant :)
Amélie2016-12-17T00:00:00ZWe had a great relaxing stay at Kingfisher Cottage. Maureen was very welcoming and it was a very comfortable and private little cottage. The location was secluded and private but also a short drive to Katikati town. I would highly recommend staying here.
Leith2016-03-29T00:00:00ZCute little cabin perfect for one or two nights. Maureen and her husband were lovely.
Sophie2016-04-14T00:00:00ZEverything as described. Everything fine.
dan2016-11-07T00:00:00ZWe have a relaxed stay at Kingfisher Cottage. We were hosted by Maureen and her lovely husband. We have a great time staying in this private cottage.

Maureen, you are blessed to have this wonderful house with great nature and beautiful sky at night.

ColinAmazing views, great hospitality. Lovely escape! Thank you
Fahria2016-11-21T00:00:00ZWhat a terrific B&B! It was just what we where looking for during our week in Katikati while visiting family. A gem to come "home" to and relax after busy days. Thanks for taking such good care of us with a wonderful breakfast, fresh strawberries and other fruits and your lovely cake! We woke up to the spectaular views, all the way to Mt. Manganui and in the evenings the stars were so clear, something we don't often see in Holland.

My wife and I just had the pleasure of staying with Suyin during our visit to beautiful New Zealand. The accommodations were flawless, the feeling of security was total, and the hospitality is something we will never forget. The house was amazing! The bedroom was spacious and comfortable, there were many places in the home we were invited to share that provided every comfort from TV to WiFi. Most remarkable was the kitchen, far surpassing any design back home in the States. The yard and garden was peaceful and beautiful. Thank you so much for the memorable stay and we look forward to seeing you again! Marc & May

Great place to stay, lovely generous hosts and a quiet restful night.
Margot2017-02-12T00:00:00ZElaine and Graham's place was superb, a real find. If it is available do not hesitate to book. Really clean and comfortable they have gone more than that extra mile to ensure guests have everything they need and are as comfortable as possible. The only regret we have is that we had only one night there. It is on a lovely location and so spacious; the bread, fruit and biscuits are a lovely touch. Many thanks for the short time we spent with you.
Glynn2016-09-18T00:00:00ZElaine and Graham made us feel very welcome , There were lots of thoughtfull little touches included with our accomadation . Tui on Tanners is in a very beautifull part of NZ .

Jas 2016-04-30T00:00:00ZGreat location and great people. Accomdation was had everything you need, and the breakfast plentiful and tasty. Loved the touch of fresh basil in the kitchen. If you are looking for a place with good facilities, privacy, and more character than a motel then don't hesitate to book this place.
Christopher 2016-03-14T00:00:00ZHelen and Graham are located in a lovely spot near Katikati and were wonderful hosts for my short stay. The accomodation was excellent and the resident tuis were delightful. Thanks for your wram welcome and friendship. Roger N
Roger2015-11-17T00:00:00ZWhat a lovely place. Very peaceful and we were made very welcome. We were treated to fresh bread and a range of other goodies. Great space and lovely to hear lots of birdsong.
Bill2016-06-06T00:00:00ZOur 1st Air B&B and it lived up to our expectations. Warm and friendly couple. Self contained omfortable accommodation with great attention to detail. Delicious breakfast

Hi Im Ezza Im also the original Rebel Queen
I love Rock music and my fav band is the Runaways.
I like puting my music in my Book and you may find it odd that a girl that loves rock music and is in a band also loves reading books and writing books.
I guess it's a strange world
hope you like my book
and read my friends books
sapphire rose
Ezza and Leeon together for ever

As we all know, the weather is cold, with a capital C, so I was pondering warm beverages and thinking what would warm me up the best. Chai? Coffee? WAIT!!! Inspiration hit!!! What about a combination of the two? I figured I am a genius and was the first person to ever devise such a wicked, naughty concoction. But nope, it exists. It is called a dirty chai and it has rocked my world. And The Mister's world. He has declared when we are retired on some tropical island, away from polar vortexes, this is the only beverage we will consume. So there you go. Make this. Love this. Change your warm beverage choice forever.
Dirty Chai
Coffee (in official dirty chai, they would use a shot of espresso, I used what I had)
Sweetened Chai tea concentrate
Brew your coffee.
Combine half chai and half milk in a saucepan and heat over medium until hot. Just make an educated guess on how much you need. I would say I used approximately 3/4 C chai and 3/4 C milk for two servings.
Once the chai was hot, I very carefully used my immersion blender and whipped up a nice foam. Don't burn yourself. You can also use a blender but it doesn't get as frothy as in my picture.
Fill your coffee cup half way with coffee and then the other half with your chai using a spoon to hold back the foam. Then, because I am a terrible human being, I add a splash of cream. It's just a tiny amount, but it adds so much to the overall experience, a touch of luxury and a silky mouth feel. YUM!
Now, spoon on some of your foam, and you have one heck of a warm drink.
Put your coziest slippers on, sit in a nice big chair and prepare to get your insides all toasty and take a mental break from words like: ice melt and wind chill.

Can't get to Paris for the holidays? Don't want to fly to New York or drive to the City? Fine. You can experience a little bit of elegance right here at home. Just spend a morning at Pâtisserie Angelica. Go for the ambience, go for the holiday decorations, go for the dessert…just be sure and go.
I'm a regular at Patisserie Angelica. My friends and I meet there for our non-fat lattes and a dreamy dessert on a regular basis. We've probably sampled everything in their beautiful display case.
The scones are better than the ones in Scotland and are a staple in our freezer. The Basque cake is now our traditional Christmas morning breakfast. My husband keeps a constant supply of the cookies and loves the very upgraded peanutbutter/chocolate bar- Peanut Envy. My holiday season favorite is the White Chocolate Ginger mousse and Pumpkin cheesecake.
A Skull & Crossbones Halloween cake was a real hit at a friends birthday. It stopped the dinner party! After all the photos were taken we cut into it and, as with all of Condra's desserts, it was sublime.
Pâtisserie Angelica is a treasure. I am so glad it lives in Sebastopol. -

What next, a cake that looks like a cake! I mean for Jimminie Sakes–alright, you can make desert look like something totally irrelevant to food. Fine–now can you go back to FOOD! I'm still trying to figure out the whole "foam" thing! How about a cake that looks like a steak? Or perhaps a cake/pastry which resembles blood sausage! Yeah, that's the ticket!

Well, to quote my all time favorite baking instructor Cathy Burgett: "You can always make it look good. The hard part is making it taste good."

I'm not a huge fondant fan, so I wouldn't have a very objective viewpoint. But really, when it's that cute does it matter what it tastes like? (Rhetorical)

Beautiful! But, how does it taste?

Mmmmm, Patisserie Angelica. The only fondant I will ever eat.
