Keeping Kosher
Elementary, My Dear Game Master!

Keeping KosherElementary, My Dear Game Master!by Walt CiechanowskiNov 14,2003 | Keeping KosherBy: Walt Ciechanowski Elementary, My Dear Game Master!For me, there is no more satisfying adventure than a good mystery. Regardless of the genre, I love tantalizing the players with clues that make them hungry for the solution. There is also nothing more rewarding than to sit down for a session and discover that your players are already debating theories and courses of action based on what they learned the last session. It's a great feeling. Fair warning, this is not a column about how to construct a mystery. While that's definitely a worthy subject, this column is about fairness in mysteries. Specifically, who gets to solve them, the player or the character? How should we, as GMs, encourage the players to appreciate their character sheets while not relying on them as a substitute for mystery-solving? Those of you who read my last column might be a bit confused at this point. The last paragraph sounds like a contradiction to my previous advice, where I stressed the importance of sticking to dicing as opposed to player roleplay. Bear with me, and all will be revealed (if not, I'm sure I'll see a string of "hypocrisy" posts!). Purpose of a MysteryFor you players out there, let me let you in on a little GM secret. We want you to solve our mysteries. I have never met a GM who proudly boasted that her mysteries are too tough for her gaming group to solve and that she enjoys frustrating them week after week. The whole point of designing a good mystery is to enjoy watching the players collect clues and try to figure out the solution. We want our players to follow the trail we've set for the climax. What's the point of wasting valuable time designing a mystery only to watch your players throw their hands up in frustration and admit defeat two hours into the first session? It's been my experience, both as a player and a GM, that players enjoy discovering clues and trying to figure out where to go next or make that intuitive leap toward the solution. They derive satisfaction when they realize that they're heading in the right direction and frustration when they realize they were duped into following a red herring (even this can be satisfying, as the player has eliminated a possibility from consideration). There is nothing more satisfying for a player than to be the first to solve the mystery, especially if it seemed like a pretty tough one. A lot of this satisfaction is lost if the players are simply led from scene to scene and dice their way through it. While I do think dice rolls are important for gathering information, I don't think a dice roll should interpret a clue for the players. It's cheating them of the satisfaction of discovering it on their own and should be discouraged, even if it means slowing down the game a bit while the players wrack their brains. Seduction, revisitedOkay, here's the part where I differentiate mystery-solving from social roleplay. The key phrase was in the last paragraph: gathering information. Whenever a player wants to gather information, she should utilize the tools available to her. Those tools are on the character sheet. Whether she wants to search a crime scene or charm an NPC, she's trying to profit from it. Generally speaking, there are only two purposes to ever use a social skill on an NPC. The first purpose is to gain something from her. The NPC may have knowledge that the PCs want or the NPC may be in a position to give them something they otherwise couldn't get (access to a room, a lower price on a valued object, etc). The second purpose is player satisfaction. The player simply wants to see if his character is capable of overcoming the NPC's defenses. In both cases, that's exactly what a skill roll is for, and why the player should roll the dice to determine success. More importantly, in both cases, there was a player (not a character) decision involved. It was the player who decided to engage the NPC, not the character. The dice roll was merely the application of the tools available to determine whether the action was successful. The player is in control of his character's actions, but the character sheet determines the success or failure of those actions (not the player's skill set). Building characterIn my last column, I stressed the importance of utilizing social skills so that the player could feel that her point expenditures in those areas of her character sheet were justified. The same is true for mystery-solving skills. We want our players to feel that if they build a consulting detective, that character should be well-positioned to help the player solve mysteries. They should not be encouraged to neglect those areas of their character sheet confident that those skills can be usurped by player roleplay. This is something of a unique challenge for GMs. We want our players to use their skills, but there is a strong argument that, if the players ask the right questions or perform the right tasks, they are entitled to the information. Otherwise, the game grinds to a screeching halt because a bad dice roll prevented a crucial clue from being gathered. Shouldn't we just give them the information if it's that important to resolving the mystery? Well, no. I'll go into this in greater detail below, but for the purposes of character generation we don't want our players to devalue the importance of mystery-solving skills. We don't want them to think "hmmm, if the clues are really important then the GM will hand them to us, so I'm going to dump all my points in combat skills." We want them to think "hmmm, in order to be successful I'd better pump up this search skill. It'd probably be a good idea to spend points on library research and questioning as well." You get the point. If the player is frustrated that she keeps coming up with good decisions but her character is incompetent at following through, then she might remember that when the time comes to spend experience points. Searching the sceneObviously, when our players arrive at a scene, we're hoping that they collect the clues that we've left for them (whether they're good clues or red herrings). Sometimes, the clues are blatantly obvious. These should be freely given without a dice roll. No one is going to miss the smoking gun lying on the floor next to the victim's body because of a failed search roll. However, a forensics roll would be necessary to determine that, based on the position and size of the victim's wound, there was no way that it was self-inflicted. Remember, when gathering information, it's important to test the character's skill, not the player's. A police detective knows how to search a scene for evidence; his postal worker player probably does not. "I search the room" is enough of a player prompt for the GM to request all of the relevant dice rolls (or make them himself). The player should not have to describe her character's search methods in great detail in order to discover relevant information. Also, what's logical to us as a GM might not be logical to our players. We might think that a typical police investigation would not involve pulling up the carpet or checking behind the pictures on the wall but do the players think that as well? In those cases, it's better to assume that a typical investigation would cover it and offer those clues in the initial search rolls, rather than leave it out unless the players specifically draw attention to it (I can't tell you the number of times I've done exactly this, and then have my players later cry foul because they thought their search roll had covered that). Be aware of knowledge skills. If a player stumbles across a statuette of the goddess Kali, and he has the Hindu Mythology skill, he shouldn't need to ask for a skill roll to identify it. The GM should prompt him. This is a pretty obvious example, but there are times when a player doesn't realize he needs to ask for a roll (you don't want to get into an argument later over the fact that the player assumed it wasn't Kali because you didn't ask for the skill roll). Finally, remember to give modifiers when warranted. An investigator who spends three hours at a crime scene has a much better chance of finding clues than one who spends ten minutes. Many rules systems allow some skills to enhance others (e.g. a character who has seduced an NPC has a much better chance of questioning her). Where do we go next?Once the players have collected clues from a scene it is up to them to determine the quality of those clues and what direction, if any, to continue investigating. This area of the adventure is entirely the province of the players, not the characters. The players make the decisions, and they should not be allowed to dice it. If they do, it robs the players of the satisfaction that they chose the right path. Besides, if they choose the wrong path, it won't belong before they realize that they're chasing a red herring, and they may actually learn something in the process. So what happens when the players get stumped and the frustration level is building? Some rules systems provide a mechanical solution (e.g. intuition or luck advantages, drama points) but this is a dangerous crutch if used lightly (it simply becomes "dicing" wearing different clothes). In the case of stumped players, I've found that the simple solution is to go over the clues with them, and ask them how they think the pieces fit. Oftentimes a player overlooks a connection because someone else wrote the clue down or they're getting too clouded by their own (false) theory. I have one player in particular who has a chronic problem with this. He develops a theory early on and holds to it, disregarding any clues that don't fit. He then finds himself flat-footed when something happens that dissolves his theory. In his case, I would gently remind him of the clues that didn't fit whenever he touted his theory out loud. Also, keep in mind that the players can always go back and try to collect clues they missed the first time around, if feasible. Just because Mr. Jones was unhelpful the first time around doesn't mean he won't talk a second time, especially if the investigator confronts him with new information. If the player missed the bullet hole the first time around, a return to the scene might garner the information. Perhaps an NPC colleague noticed the clue and decided to share. Talking through the clues the players have gathered may prompt them that they missed something the first time around (be as subtle or not as subtle as you want; my players usually refer to my coaxing as "throwing the brick"). As an aside, if a player missed a skill roll the first time around, and floundered on a false theory until he revisited the scene to net it, he'll probably be encouraged to spend his experience enhancing the skill, rather than learn that cool new martial arts maneuver. Keeping KosherWhether it be pursuing the Maltese Falcon or just trying to figure out how to defeat the plaid dragon of Polyester Mountain, it is the players who make the decisions. The characters are merely the tools that help them get there, and the onus is on the player to ensure that his character is well-rounded enough to succeed on the course the player sets. While the GM should always craft his adventures with the character's abilities in mind, he should not hand the players things they didn't earn. The campaign would only suffer in the long term. Good gaming! |

Other than the offensive smoke smell, this hotel was pretty nice. I don't know how they got my smoking preference wrong, but I was too tired to do anything about it.

Perfect Jacket
I bought this jacket for skiing and just everything outdoors in Lake Tahoe. This is a perfect jacket for lightweight warmth and wetness protection. I hate being bundled up so to find a jacket that is warm, waterproof and doesn't weigh a ton... its really great. I think this jacket runs a little small but I am very long waisted. I am 5ft 8in 165pounds and I got the XL. Its perfect in length for my arms and waist and still covers me when I move around and raise my arms. I also love that I can wear all the pieces together or just the shell or just the insert.... its a lot of options in one jacket.
- February 4 2011
This jacket was perfect, i used it in La Cordillera Blanca de Per. When you are hiking the complete jacket is too hot, only the shell is enough; but when you are resting you can add the liner to keep you warm. Im 56 and 132 lb, the size M fits perfectly on me.

Coat showed up as a Christmas present for my wife. She absolutely loves it. She says that, although it has not completely been tested yet, she can foresee having this coat for years to come. She also can not wear it indoors for any lengthy time due to it being so warm. We are in the middle of winter (in VA) here but it's still only about 20 degrees, and she is wearing only a blouse underneath and staying plenty warm. Was first purchase from Altrec, but certainly won't be the last! Thanks again. Hokie_fan

Broadway Nite is a floral fragrance, launched on market in 2003. It is dedicated to Broadway, a large New York avenue with its famous theaters. Broadway, as a very frequent, dynamic place full of events, inspired the creation of this perfume to be in harmony with its spirit. The creator Maurice Roucel offered feminine and seductive notes of a floral bouquet with intoxicating rose, iris, honeysuckle, heliotrope, warm and gentle vanilla and amber. Designers of the fashion house Bond No. 9 are creditable for the bottle design.

As a fan of Maurice Roucel's work, this one doesn't disappoint.
But let me first say that I have 7 or 8 Bond No. 9 perfumes in my collection, and I have come to realize that Bond No. 9 perfumes all share a similar smell palette. It is almost like all perfumers are given a particular selection of ingredients to work with and the end results are very pungent and sharp, particularly floral perfumes.
I would summarize the smell of this perfume with this description: aldehydelic rosewater bread dunk in booze.
This is FAN DI FENDI EXTREME....at a much higher price. I personally like Fan Di Fendi better.
Yes, definitely soft powdery cloud of purple flowers, really enjoy this even not being a floral type person, long lasting with moderate sillage
This scent is a good one, but in the dry down I find it a bit abrasive. It does not melt with my skin well. It radiates like an atom.
I can imagine, this smells like you walks the Broadway Street in the downtown of New York in the last centuries at 4 PM when lot of bread makers there were backing theirs bread. The fragrance has some similarity with the raw sour bread dough, before it will be backed, this slightly yeast cell whiff. But of course, a lot refined and not so bread-obvious. There is some vanilla sweetness too.
I sold 7 of my used fragrances on ebay to buy this one, which is the most expensive fragrance on my have shelf until now. If you are asking me, if it is worth the money, yes, if you try its quality - it lasts two days on clothing, and on the skin until your next shower. If you are onto this sour bread dough whiff or do you love our fresh european bread, directly coming from the oven or before it is completely backed /still half raw/, you will love it, as I do. All in all - a special perfume for special occasions, most for the night after 3 PM, when the City begins to live its next day.
My dog-pug loves it too. She was licking my wrist, when I tested it.
Fantastic! The green violet note at the start is a little sharp for some but within 3 minutes it was over and then the fragrance was just a beautiful blend of wonderfully sumptious notes! And it's incredibly long-lasting! Well done Maurice Roucel!
Update: Wore it to work today and the compliments have not stopped!
It has a very sharp opening that is vaguely reminiscent of No 5 to me...I know there are no aldehydes listed but that is what it smells like to me. After my nose is assaulted with that I can sort of smell lipstick rose, but only if I take a shallow breath in. If I take a deep breath of the scent I am assaulted again by aldehydes. I don't like it at all and I'm not sure that I ever will because even if it gets better later I don't think I can suffer through the stink...not for this price.
I really love it...I mean...it might be overwhelming but definitely it depends on everyone's body chemistry...for me it works delightfully.
The opening of nite is strong heliotrope and honeysuckle, vanilla with a amber. I don't smell Aldehydes, maybe it's the sharp opening in this perfume, that everyone it smelling, but that fades. Broadway Nite is simply gorgeous and long lasting, a gorgeous creamy vanilla and amber drydown with just hints of the floral. a deffinate purchase for me.
Update... I've gotten a few compliments on this perfume and I seldom get compliments so I consider this a great thing. I do love sniffing this
throughout the day, and it almost has a buttery quality about it. It is worth getting a back up bottle of this, so my next purchase is another Broadway Nite!
Lou Lou and Red Door became a couple and gave birth to Broadway Nite. It's hard to describe just how bad this is on me, but I think if I sat near someone while wearing this in a Broadway theatre, I'd be assaulted. Justifiably.
The stickiest, most cloying chemical scent I have encountered in a long time. Hints of soapy-ness come through, but just for a split second, until the crazy chemical bomb goes off yet again. Oh and as a bonus it delivers instant headaches. Nice.
thanks to Broadway Nite, i realized that aldehyde perfumes are DEFNITELY NOT for me...
A very strong fragrance when it is sprayed on. It is a fall/winter night time wear. It last a very long time so you do not need to spray anymore on at all.
An acquired taste...a bit like almond cakes...first attempt was a bit unpleasant but after a few tries, they both grew on me...
The first time I tried it, I was not overtly impressed...however, after a few more tries (while running on the treadmill; best place to try a new scent as your body temperature exudes the scent through your pores in the heat of the moment...) I started to admire the beautiful composition of this very unique violet and rose scent...
Now, I reach for it on cold evenings at home when I want to relax and listen to my equally large vinyl collection...ie George Michael, massive attack...
Fantastic stuff...with incredible longevity and sillage...
Big thumbs up...!!!
Cereza. If I were a moderator, I would give you a prize in the Friday Contest ))) Your review is so original and it has risen up my mood in a very cold gloomy day )
However I will never understand why do the Bonds cost so much. I've got a sample of this one. No worms, thanx God, but nothing special. Just another floral scent. Not too bad.
Oh GOD. At first I though - hmm, this is nice, reminds me a bit of juicy iris that can be found in Miller Harris - Coeur de Fleur, I might even enjoy this, but oh boy how wrong was I. After 1 minute of applying something HAPPENED. And it's vile.
What's so vile about it, you may ask? It's worms, really. It smells like flour gone bad and already taken a colony of those little white, fat worms. It smells exactly like that. I hope you have never encountered that smell in your life, but I have and Broadway nite is pure fat, white worms swimming in bad flour. And a vase of plastic flowers someone sprayed air freshnerer on so they would smell like real ones.
Boy, this is just WRONG.
I knew the day had to come when Mr Roucel left me heartbroken and desolate in a wasteland of devastated expectations and dashed hopes. I just never quite anticipated I would be accompanied by such a grotesque demon perched on my wrist.
Broadway Night is everything I flee from in perfume. It is brash, loud, sickly, syrupy sweet, jarring & discordant, with nothing I can discern as a 'note', more like a cacophany of chemicals howling at the moon.
Broadway Nite has certainly made an impression and it has earned itself a cosy place next to LouLou as the perfume I would most likely adorn to celebrate an ice party in Hell.
To my nose, Bond no 9 BROADWAY NITE is primarily a purple floral fragrance with a definite brass band vibe. I actually thought that there were violets here, but they are not listed among the notes, though iris and heliotrope are.
Although this edp is certainly wearable and has reasonably good longevity, it's not among my favorite Bond florals, so I won't be adding a bottle to my collection. Something about the overall blend seems caricaturesque--as though it wants too badly to smell like someone's idea of PERFUME. For some reason, while wearing BROADWAY NITE, I began to think of Laverne & Shirley going out on a double date with Lenny & Squiggy. Not sure whether or not they lived in NYC...
I'm not a fan of florals or aldehyde-florals so read my evaluation in light of this fact. Broadway Nite is probably a nice scent for those who like such things, but does not fall anywhere within the realm of things that I would want to wear regularly. It starts off with a knock-'em-over blast of aldehydes and a sharp, pointy, synthetic floral note that reminds me of lily of the valley (shudder). Then comes the soap, full blast. After the initial brouhaha dies down, it settles into a sharp-edged floral in which rose is detectable, accompanied by lots of scents that one could imagine belonging to plastic flowers. After a few hours and a run, it evolves into a pleasant spicy scent that eventually dries down to vanilla. However, it's not worth suffering through the first few hours and sweating profusely to experience the nice part.
Maybe the perfumer intended to create an obnoxious, in-your-face synthetic floral, but the image that comes to mind is an old lady who has had lots of plastic surgery, wears tons of jewelry, and carries a little dog around with her in a basket. Not an image that I want to think about, let alone project to others. By the way, the sillage is tremendous.
Broadway Nite is a masterpiece! It is unique, classy, sexy and very strong. Spray two or three times and it will last all day and night.
In the beginning you can smell the aldehydes along with rose, vanilla and amber. In the heart, the floral notes get a little stronger. In the drydown, the vanilla is the dominant note. This perfume is unique. 99% that you have never smelled something like this before!
A bit on the lines of Lipstick Rose, this reminds me of Camay and other French-perfume based soaps, but has the makeup notes of violet and powdered rose. However it ends weird, like scented candle wax. Not bad, but not worth this price to me.

iPhone hangs on in US, Japan, but EVERYONE ELSE bought an Android Smartphone wars: WinPhone got some love in Blighty, but it's bad news for RIM By Anna Leach Get more from this author Posted in Mobile, 22nd January 2013 17:13 GMT A day before Apple's quarterly results land, Tim Cook will also have to deal with the some unwelcome stats on iOS smartphone market share, showing that the iPhone still trails Android in all markets but the US and Japan. The US remains Apple's global heartland, and Christmas sales stats from consumer group Kantar World Panel saw iPhone retain its smartphone crown in the US - but this year it edged up a healthy 6 per cent to take 51.2 per cent of the market. Android mobes lingered at 44.2 per cent of the market share, down a sliver of a percentage point from 44.8 last year. But Android sales were up everywhere else, and the Google operating system holds 72.5 per cent market share in China, the world's second biggest smartphone market after the States. Android was also top in Britain, Spain, Australia and Germany in sales for those three months. Europeans keen on Windows mobes Windows Mobile clocked up an impressive 13.9 per cent of smartphone sales in Italy, and 5.9 percent of sales in Britain for three months before Christmas. Otherwise Microsoft's WinPhone handsets barely made a ripple in Christmas sales. Windows smartphones only scooped 2.6 per cent of sales in the US, though that did put the mobile operating system in third place ahead of BlackBerry. This year's news wasn't great for RIM, which was down to 1.1 per cent of sales in the US, from 6.1 percent for the same period last year. RIM netted exactly 0.0 per cent of sales in China. You were most likely to see a new BlackBerry in the UK, where 6.4 per cent of purchased smartphones were BBs, but it's still a heady fall on the 16 per cent from the same three months in 2011. Older, cheaper iPhones were an important part of iOS sales, says analyst Mary-Ann Parlato, which may make Tim Cook think again about whether to release a cheap iPhone. Apples continual improvement is thanks to both the iPhone 5 and older models attracting various customer groups," said Parlato, "from repeat Apple buyers, first time smartphone buyers and those coming from other smartphone brands. The data is derived from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech research. The data focused on smartphone sales in the 12 weeks to Christmas. ® |

No one can grow indefinately if they don't diversify. Apple right now is pretty much a 2 trick pony, iPhones and iPads being 70% of their revenue. Throw in Macs, and you've got close to 85%.

For me, I'm rooting for them. I think cook is doing a fine job and hopefully the earnings call today will quell some investor fears and let Apple go back to what they're good at. I'm hoping for a great 2013 from them. |

It's a hefty price to pay for a senior prank: Eight students at Pell City High School have been arrested for a prank that cost the school $10,000 to clean up. A week before graduation, eight senior students were caught on tape filling the school's hallways with fire extinguisher fluid, eggs and flour. Police used surveillance video to identify the eight suspects and arrested them Thursday, May 17. The Pell City Police Department has released the names and ages of seven of the suspects, who will be charged as adults: -Samuel Alex McCloud, 18 -Alexander Hopson, 19 -Jonathan Grimes Jr., 18 -Haley White, 18 -Desmond Dawkins, 19 -Jarrod Chapman, 18 -Devon Jones, 18 Another suspect, a 17-year-old male, was arrested but his identity will not be released because he is a juvenile. All of the suspects were males except for Haley White. The seven adult suspects have been charged with third degree burglary and first degree criminal mischief. The 17-year-old is headed to juvenile court.
The prank was discovered by a Pell City police officer who routinely checks the school's doors to make sure they are locked. When the officer checked the school early Thursday morning, he officer found one of the school's doors open. Police have not said how they think the pranksters got inside the school. The mess created such a slip-and-fall type of hazard that students who arrived to the high school Thursday morning had to stay in the performing arts center until the hallways were clean. Cleaning company ServPro was called in to clean up the prank, which will cost the school around $10,000. Pell City principal Helene Bettinger says students are taking final exams this week. She also said school is still in session and students resumed their classes as soon as the mess was cleaned up around lunchtime.

What It's Like to Sit Next to Angelina Jolie (and Kids!) on an Airplane
If any type of gossip magazine is your guilty pleasure, you know that Angelina Jolie and her kids have been hanging out in Australia. The star has traveled to Oz not just to escape the harsh American winter, but because she's directing Unbroken, her new movie, down under.
Despite her busy schedule, she has been finding times to take her brood of six out for little Aussie field trips, feeding the paparazzi with images of fun in the southern summer. While we're not paps, we did happen to sit next to the celeb on a Qantas flight from Sydney to Brisbane this last weekend.
Angie, flying commercial?! Yeah, if we hadn't of seen it with our own eyes, we wouldn't have believed it either. Jolie actually boarded a regular flight and sat with the common people, albeit up in the front. One of these 'commoners' just happened to this Jaunted Contributor.
Here's my account of sitting next to one of the biggest celebrities on the planet:

Kangaroo and Bugs are on the Menu in Australia for Angelina Jolie's Kids
Here's one thing we know is a constant: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will bring their brood to all corners of the earth. We're cool with the idea since it exposes the kids to different cultures, gearing them up to grow into well-seasoned travelers and ambassadors for their country. Still, Angelina's tutelage is strict; she insists that the kids eat local cuisine, going so far to make it a rule when traveling abroad. Her recent trip Down Under was no different.
Jolie packed up her litter and headed to Australia to direct her latest movie, Unbroken. Making the work trip a family vacation (sans Brad), she hopped around Oz with her six little ones, showing them all of the typical tourist spots like the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, and Taronga Zoo. When it comes to lunch and dinner, however, the kids much be in "local" mode and walk the culinary wild side by tasting kangaroo and emu pizza and whichetty grubs.

Brangelina and Brood Head to Ho Chi Minh City for a Vietnam War History Lesson
The Brangelina clan added more stamps to their passports last week as they traveled from Tokyo to Vietnam. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie took their six children to Vietnam, where their son Pax was born, after premiering Brad's latest movie, Moneyball, in Japan.
The couple wanted Pax to visit his home country so he could better understand, and be proud of, his culture. "They are all learning about each other's cultures as well as being proud of their own," Jolie recently said of her three adopted children.

Brad Pitt Moves His Brood to Malta for 'World War Z'
With two busy careers, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt never seem to be in one place for very long. This week the couple, along with their entire brood, moved into a $11 million mansion in Qrendi, Malta where Brad started filming his next movie, World War Z.
On Tuesday night, the couple brought a few of Brad's co-workers out to Trattoria Da Pippo in the nearby capital of Valletta, where they enjoyed a feast of Antipasto of parma ham, salami, Maltese sausage and maltese goat cheese, mussels, pasta with clams, sea urchins, veal with parma ham and sage, plus king prawns and fried calamari.

Angelina Jolie Touches Down at LAX in Aviators and All Black
If anyone can look glamorous after a 13-hour flight, it's Angelina Jolie. Angie landed at LAX last night looking chic in aviator sunglasses and dressed in head-to-toe black after spending a few days with refugees in Tunisia.
Angie took the trek as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador to bring attention to the 440,000 people who have traveled to Tunisia from Libya since violence erupted in that nation. But, it's the actress' new tattoo that has people talking.

Three Guesses for Angelina Jolie's Mystery Christmas Vacation Destination
If you thought your holiday travel plans were hectic, than for once be happy you aren't Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt, as they've not only got a gaggle of children in their posse and paparazzi tailing them around the globe 24/7, but their plans for Christmas aren't event quite solidified yet. The Daily Mail reports that the Jolie-Pitt clan is off to an undisclosed location, but it will be "a random part of the world."
When you're the most recognizable movie star, travel such as this can hardly be random, so we've listed our Top 3 PIcks for a Jolie-Pitt Holiday Destination:
· Hawaii: Hawaii seems to be the (literal) hotspot for Christmas vacation this year, and both Paris Hilton and President Barack Obama and family led the celeb charge to the islands this week, though not together, of course.

Angelina Jolie's Having Trouble Making Herself at Home in Sarajevo
Angelina Jolie may be one of the most beautiful and influential women in the world, but even she had a hard time convincing Bosnian officials to let her film in their country.
Angie recently started shooting her directorial debut, a love story between a Serbian man and a Bosnian woman that is set in Bosnia during the 1992-95 Bosnian War. But she's not actually filming in Bosnia. Instead most of the movie is being made in Budapest, with only a few weeks of filming planned to take place in Sarajevo next month.

Bosnia Bans Angelina Jolie from the Country, Fearing She Could Cause a War
Uh oh, it looks like other countries are finally getting sick and tired of letting US actresses do with them what they will. Japan recently kicked out Paris Hilton due to her pending drug charges back in the States, and now Angelina Jolie has been denied entrance to Bosnia...but because of a matter far more delicate than drug charges.
Where is Angelina Jolie now? She's filming that movie already, just in Budapest, Hungary. It's the film that's got Bosnia worried, as it's about a "Bosnian muslim woman who falls for the Serbian soldier who rapes her during the bitter Balkans war." Women's groups, Muslim groups and war victims groups are all outraged that someone would want to film this in their country while the people who experienced the trauma are still very much around. Plus, to have A-lister Jolie throwing her weight behind such a project? Yea, Bosnia is mad. The Daily Mail even quoted a Bosnian official as saying, "With one film, Angelina Jolie is in danger of restarting the war all over again all by herself."

Angelina Jolie's Daughter Travels Softly, Carries a Big Stick
So last week, Japanese news reported that Apple CEO Steve Jobs wasn't allowed to take ninja stars onboard his private plane, but this week, the news is that Angelina Jolie's daughter Shiloh was allowed to bring her wooden sword toy onboard a commercial flight.
Angelina, with her daughters Shiloh and Zahara, were in Budapest, Hungary scouting locations for Jolie's next movie, reports The Daily Mail. When it came time to fly from Budapest back to Los Angeles (that's one heck of a long flight for two young children), Angelina bought the girls toys. Shiloh got the wooden sword and brought it onboard with her. The only people making a fuss about it are the tabloids.

Brad and Angelina Rented an Entire Venetian Island for Their Easter Egg Hunt
The world's most set-jetting couple and their brood spent Sunday morning searching for Easter eggs and devouring chocolates like the rest of us, but, unlike the rest of us, they were on the beautiful Italian island of San Servolo.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie rented the island in the Venetian lagoon for the day so their kidsMaddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Viviennecould have a very big, very private Easter egg hunt. But don't think mom and dad were up at dawn hiding all those eggs, as apparently that's what bodyguards are for. After they found all of their eggs and opened their baskets, the whole family enjoyed a picnic on one of the island's Great Lawns.

The Jolie-Pitts Bring the Whole Brood to Venice for Filming 'The Tourist'
Our favorite Super World Travelers are at it again! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are slogging around Europe with their whole brood in tow while Jolie films "The Tourist," a drama that gets Johnny Depp (a tourist) wrapped up in the doings of Jolie, who is an Interpol agent tracking an Italian gangster.
Last week they were in Paris, but filming now has then swinging down to the canals of Venice to continue the movie. Jolie and Pitt were spotted with their rarely-seen 19-month-old twins, Vivienne and Knox, as the family hunkered down in a rented lavish palazzo.

Angelina Jolie Films 'The Tourist' In Paris, But She's Hardly a Tourist
It feels like forever since last we tracked down Super World Traveler Angelina Jolie on a movie set, but this month her movements are more up our alley than normal, considering that she's currently in Paris filming her movie with Johnny Depp: The Tourist.
These last few days, she's been spotted filming a cafe/meeting scene in the Palais Royale, looking quite elegant despite the miserable weather in the City of Lights. According to entertainment media, the movie's focus is on Depp, who while traveling through Europe, gets roped into Jolie's drama (as an Interpol agent) tracking a gangster. And of course it will involve a hot love scene between Depp and Jolie, but we're going to bet that that's not something they'll be filming out in a popular tourist location.
Regardless, check out that huge movie camera! Why can't a huge movie camera like that be our cafe date sometime? Oh yes, probably because we aren't a famous actress.

ZiwiPeak Daily-Cat Cuisine Lamb Real Meat Dry Cat Food Customer Reviews
ZiwiPeak Daily-Cat Cuisine Lamb Real Meat Dry Cat Food
High quality dry food
I like to feed Butch Boy raw food, but in a dried form to which water can be added. This one is especially loved by my cat. He gets it once a day in the morning. I feed him other foods later on (twice more) so he gets some variety. He also loves the canned version of ZiwiPeak lamb, which he gets occasionally.
August 14, 2013
Picky eater loves it
Ranmaru gets a mix of FD raw foods and one of his favorites changed lately. He hates the "improved" version. For several weeks he refused to eat unless he was hand-fed UNTIL a friend introduced us to this food. This was apparently the right stuff to add to his mix because NO MORE hand-feeding has been needing since its addition. (Real lifesaver.)
June 16, 2013
Chewys is great!
Fast delivery. Only gave 4 stars for the product because it is a dry food. Cats that don't drink much water, really shouldn't have dry food. I add water to the food to offset my cats lack of drinking. Otherwise, would give the food 5 stars. Chewys always delivers. They deserve 5 stars.
August 20, 2013
Our cat ate it the first time and liked the smell, but progressivley liked it less and less. I think it's not crunchy enough for her, and the aroma does not send her!
March 4, 2014
Cat did not like it.
The ingredients are good, but cat would not eat it. At first she did try it, but then refused to eat it completely. She prefers freeze dried to air dried. Also, it's kind of smelly...
May 30, 2013
I give a qualified recommendation
when I first opened the package my cats went right
for it now they snub it. the product has a very
pronounced soy sauce smell that worries me a bit
I love the idea of pure meat freeze dried, but only
if my cats will eat it...I'll keep trying
December 15, 2012
Great food
I was researching to find an all natural product that contained so many of the organ meats like this does. The best is that my extremely finicky cat loves it. It is too costly to feed alone, so I add about a tablespoon to his regular food daily and I am happy knowing that he is getting something that is so very good for him!

What's New
Talkie is now more walkie-talkie-like than ever! Talkie now connects to other Talkies nearby over bluetooth completely automatically.Just load up Talkie, and you'll be able to hear and speak to others nearby who are on the same channel number.
Talkie 1.1 also introduces an audio meter, and indicators that show whether there are any Talkies within bluetooth range, or whether Talkie is connected to a wireless network.
App Description
The only voice communication app for iPhone with totally automated support for Bluetooth, WiFi, and soon, Internet calls: All this in a delicious you-can-almost-smell-the-plastic package, with 12 separate channels and a squelch control for fine-tuning!Just start it up and press Talk - any other Talkies nearby will hear you!
--- Praise for Talkie ---
==Slamoo==: " Finally, a walkie talkie application worth downloading. After trawling through some that didn't try hard enough I came across an authentic and user friendly attempt. Childhood memories are flooding back. I feel like building a treehouse or watching Ninja Turtles."
==Gee4orce==: " This is a great, fun app. So simple to use - you just select a channel and press talk. No need to pair with other phones or anything. I especially like the way that you can use a free app on your Mac to talk to the iPhone version."
==jaylll==: " Very good app. It's easy to use and it works well."
==Mark Spur==: " Wow! This app is excellent. This is one of those apps that just simply works. Excellent design like us Apple guys love. They also have a Mac desktop version which will only add to it's value. Look at their website for information on version 2! It will be great!"
Lost in a crowd? Be reunited with your pals at the touch of a button, without spending your hard-earned mobile phone credit.
Stay in contact with study-buddies while you roam the campus. Be prepared to take coffee orders while you're out, though.
Talkie brings back the walkie talkies of our childhood: Morse code buttons, static and that satisfying "Krsh" noise when you pressed the talk button.
Talk to others nearby over Bluetooth. Or, tune in to a wireless network automatically and talk to others running Talkie, or the pixel-icious Talkie for Mac, available now at http://atastypixel.com/products/talkie-for-mac, and absolutely, 100% free and unrestricted for use with Talkie for iPhone!

Coming in Talkie 2.0: When connected to a wireless network, set up a push-to-talk call with anyone over the Internet!
Note to iPod Touch users: While Talkie will run on the iPod Touch, the Touch does not have an inbuilt microphone. So, to be able to talk to others, you'll need to plug in a headset. If you start Talkie without a mac plugged in, you will currently receive an audio error.

So Far from Home is the first installment in a space-themed trilogy released by Christian rock band Brave Saint Saturn. This release contains less elements of the trilogy's plot that was developed in the two subsequent albums, opting for a more general feeling of darkness and loneliness. It was released in 2000. Lyricist Reese Roper shows his typical awareness of social issues, albeit with an unusual melancholy. "Under Bridges" samples clips from the Apollo 8 Genesis reading and tackles homelessness, through a contemporary interpretation of the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats."Two-Twenty-Nine" keeps with the space theme, beginning with a clip from the countdown sequence of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, and relays the personal loss of his grandmother.

I had an u/s on Monday and to my surprise/delight, I was actually 8 weeks instead of 7 with an EDD of 7/29. i don't put a ton of stock into the date for birthing purposes, but if it means first trimester is over sooner: i'm for that! I guess my sickness/HCG will probably spike over Christmas, but I am just eager to get through the nausea hell. It lasted a long time with my first, but still: one week closer!
How are y'all feeling about Christmas? I am slightly panicked about my in-laws coming. Our house is cramped under the best circumstances, but unlike usual, I have zero energy for cleaning, cooking (not to mention repulsion by most food)- which I usually do all of, and setting up the guest room and air bed for my SIL. My SIL is very sweet, but she has absolutely no understanding/sympathy for/compassion for my pregnant self or very similar to my FIL is just kind of clueless. I could be collapsed on the floor vomiting and she'd be like- why don't you fix some of your cottage cheese pancakes I like so much?! Ha. Oh...this could get interesting.
How much effort are y'all putting into the holidays?
