How to keep one foot in the USA and the other in NZ
If you're a Kiwi living in the US we'd like you to take part in the USA beta launch of our great little internet telephony service called 2talk. We've been operating in NZ now for a few years and are ready to take on the world. First stop is the USA and we'd like your help and feedback in getting our service established.
As a beta launch tester you'll get an account with both an NZ and a California number, meaning you can give out your NZ number down under so Kiwis can call you at NZ rates and your California number to US contacts so they can call you at US rates. You'll also be able to make local calls in NZ too, all from the comfort of your home in the US. It's an easy way to maintain a presence in both countries and we think you'll love it once you try it.
Sign up before the end of Jan and you'll get access to our beta launch pack which includes:
- A NZ local number - so your friends, family and colleagues in NZ can call you at local rates
- A California number - you can forward your current number to this number if you would like so you only have one phone to pick up
- $50 credit - this means you get about two free months if you sign up for the unlimited package or about 3 free months with the 500 min plan - 1 x Telephone Adapter
Once your $50 credit runs out you'll have the choice of converting to one of our low cost monthly plans and keeping your NZ number for good. You can also keep your same california number (from your old carrier) and port it to us if you decide you are happy with our service and want to stay on as a customer.
To sign up or find out more email or call us today
rayabbott@2talk.com
310 634 1790
(the fine print: service initially available to CA residents only, credit unused will expire at end of trial and anything else we need to put for legal reasons in the USA. New Zealand numbers are everywhere except: Whakatane, Wanganui, Warkworth & Levin. Ausi numbers are Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane only at this stage.)

NORTH AMERICAN TOURISM TO NZ
Kia ora tatou; nau mai haere mai … greetings and welcome.
By the time you see this you will be among the first in the world to see a new era of Tourism New Zealand’s 100% Pure New Zealand campaign. It has been a year in the making and has been a major project for Tourism New Zealand, and we’re delighted with the result, and we hope you will be too.
When Tourism New Zealand launched it's100% Pure New Zealand campaign in 1999, it was ground breaking. We were among the first to have a single country brand, and it has served New Zealand well.
New Zealand now welcomes over 900,000 more visitors than it did when the 100% Pure New Zealand campaign launched in 1999. And North America remains New Zealand’s 3rd largest market, producing over 270,000 visitors each year. Today, tourism is New Zealand’s biggest foreign exchange earner and largest employer.
New Zealand is the youngest country on earth – the last habitable landmass in the world to be settled by humankind. Once you know that, so much of what New Zealand has to offer falls into place. All that youth and vibrancy, the openness of our people, is something we wanted to distil into our new campaign.
So, here it is … our new creative campaign that will launch in California around the Emmy’s Awards on Sept 17. You will also notice we have worked closely with Weta Studios, the digital geniuses behind the Lord of the Rings visuals, to bring our story to life. Attached is a web link to our new campaign creative.

 TV chef, author and singer Peta Mathias – has launched a cooking school in the south of France.
Mathias, who ran her own restaurant in Paris for more than 10 years, has established the Fête Accomplie Cooking School in a 17th century country house near the medieval market town of Uzès. Her first two courses were full and places are filling fast for the third, to be run in September. In 2007 – to tie in with the Rugby World Cup in France and the America's Cup in Spain – she will run at least six schools.
Mathias, who calls herself a ñgastro-nomadî, has written eight gastronomic travel books about North Africa, France, New Zealand, Ireland and Vietnam and presented prime-time TV shows Taste New Zealand and Taste Takes Off for the past 10 years.
ñFor the Fête Accomplie Cooking School, I comb the region for its best, most evocative recipes reflecting tradition, respect for the land and honest, seasonal produce. Naturally, I throw in lots of rosé and pernod to prevent dehydration too!î
Each week-long Fête Accomplie course has a maximum of 10 students and is run at Mas Bonnafoux, a 400-year-old farmhouse set on a two-hectare site. Owned by sculptors and artists, Celia and David Horsman, the luxury accommodation includes a wide colonnaded terrace and large swimming pool.
The course costs 2,500 Euros, which includes all tuition, six nights' luxury accommodation, food, wine, transport, excursions and several restaurant meals. For more information, visit www.petamathias.com

School On Wheels is a nonprofit organization which provides educational assistance to homeless children who live in shelters, motels, cars and on the street. It receives no State or Federal money, but is able to survive through the tax deductible donations of people or organizations.
The organization was founded in 1993 by Agnes Stevens, a retired teacher. She had noticed homeless children in Santa Monica who were not enrolled in school and began teaching them in a park, while encouraging them to keep up with their grades and school activities.
Today, hundreds of volunteers from all walks of life tutor the children: In 2004, more than 300 tutors donated about 30.000 hours. SOW distributed 5.000 backpacks with school supplies and helped hundreds of families enroll their children in school. SOW works in five major regions in Southern California, including LA, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties and has chapters in Indiana and Massachusetts.
