How do international money transfers work?
An international money transfer allows you to send money to a recipient overseas. Generally, a transfer involves you providing funds to a bank or an independent transfer provider, which then sends the money to your recipient in another country — in this case, Czech Republic. This can be done in person, over the phone, through a mobile app or online. You can use cash, a credit or debit card, or transfer funds from your bank account, which will then either be deposited into your recipient's bank account or mobile wallet, or made available as cash for them to pick up at a location in their country.

Marek is a second-generation Czech-American. Recently his brother and sister-in-law moved back to the Czech Republic after both accepted positions in a prominent law firm in Prague. Marek has just become an uncle and would like to send cash as a gift for his new niece. He has the choice between two money transfer providers.

How do I compare transfer companies when sending money to the Czech Republic?
When comparing transfer services for getting money to the Czech Republic, it's important to consider the following factors:
- Exchange rates. The aim is to find a service that combines low fees and competitive exchange rates. This may impact on the delivery time, but your choice depends on how urgently the money needs to get to your recipient.
- Pick-up methods. Depending on what best suits the recipient, you can choose to have the money deposited directly into their bank account or have them collect it at the agency.
- Transfer methods. Can transfers be placed online, over the phone, by visiting a branch and/or by using a mobile app?
- Turnaround time. Some services can get the money to its destination within minutes, while others can take up to five business days. Often you incur a higher fee for faster delivery.
- Minimum transfer amounts. Most transfer services specify a higher minimum amount when sending to certain countries.
- Customer service. Is help available when you have a question regarding a transaction? Compare the availability of customer support options and hours.
Foreign exchange rates explained
The exchange rate determines how much one country's currency is worth in another currency. When a country's currency is strong, it will yield more money when exchanging it in a country with a weak currency. The Czech Republic's exchange rates is flexible, which means it can change from moment to moment. Factors that influence the exchange rate include interest rates, economic stability and inflation.

I followed the progress of our PNG team via their page on Facebook. We had competitors in weight lifting, Taekwando, swimming, running, and who knows what else. While I don't think they won any medals, PNG was certainly proud of the athletes and their incredible effots.
Toea Wisil was the PNG flag bearer in the opening ceremonies. She is a runner who competed in the 100m sprint. At 11.6 seconds, she won her first race and was the fastest qualifier from the qualifying rounds. Her second run was a personal best at 11.27 seconds (and I think a regional record for the Pacific). She came in 4th and missed advancing to the semi-final by a fraction of second.
Toea's home place is just down the road from us in Banz! Here are a few pictures of our local hero...
"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever."

Wake Ed
Wake County commissioner explains not backing school budget
Wake County Commissioner John Burns has given a detailed explanation on why he's not backing funding all, or nearly all, of the school board's proposed $48.3 million increase in local funding.
In a lengthy Facebook post Tuesday, Burns writes that providing around $6 million more than the $34.6 million increase recommended by County Manager Jim Hartmann would be a "responsible place." But Burns says fully or substantially closing the $13.7 million gap between Hartmann's recommendation and the school board's request would reduce budget flexibility for things such as getting voter support for passing a transit referendum in 2016.
"Education has been underfunded, and we must work to overcome the hole my predecessors and their ideological soulmates in the General Assembly placed us in," Burns writes. "But I don't think it would be responsible to try to do it all in one year and then pretend we can ignore the additional $100MM in unmet requests on page 14 of the School's proposed budget over the next several years."
Any approved budget must come with an understanding with the School Board that we will sit down and develop a multi-year budget plan that gives predictability and stability both to the schools and the County taxpayer."
Burns also isn't backing a proposal floated by WakeUP Wake County to raise property taxes a cent higher than proposed. Hartmann is proposing a 2.9-cent tax rate increase. A 3.9-cent increase would fund nearly all of the school board's $48.3 million increase.
WakeUP Wake says the additional penny on the tax rate would be $27 more per year on a average homeowner, raising the potential tax increase to $104.
"Were there no people struggling to make a living such that $104 is a significant unplanned expense, I would be happy to ask people like me to pay even more for schools that help get everyone else to the economic status I have been lucky enough to attain," Burns writes. "But we don't live in that world."
Commissioners will vote on the county budget on Monday. But even without Burns' support, his fellow Democrats might back raising taxes 3.9 cents.

Boots 1998: Performance Anxiety
Once you've narrowed down your buying choices to a few comfortable pairs of boots, it's important to make sure they're performance-matched to your anatomy so you can ski with a balanced stance. Because the geometry of every boot is different, your physique determines which boots work best.
From The Ground Up
Well-crafted custom footbeds are the first building block to a balanced stance. They provide a solid platform for foot-to-ski energy transfer, as well as balance and comfort.
The Cuff Is Important Stuff
Studies at our test camps have shown that good cuff fit is a boot's most important performance quality. Skiers have greater stability and ski with increased confidence when their boot cuff fits snugly along the lower leg, without their having to batten down the buckles too tightly. Clamping the buckles too tightly deforms the shell and changes the boot's flex pattern.
Just as important is the angle of the cuff in relation to your skeletal structure (see photos below). More than 75 percent of skiers have bowleg or knock-knee tendencies, which make it nearly impossible to build a balanced stance in boots without a cuff cant-what we consider a "must have" feature.
Cuff height also dramatically affects your stance. Even identically-sized boots can have substantially different cuff heights (see inset photo). Short, bowlegged or knock-kneed skiers may have difficulty balancing in models with taller cuffs and should try boots with a lower cuff design.
What 'Seams' Like Center, Isn't
The foot has an invisible "balance line" that bisects the heel and runs through the center of the second toe. In an ideal stance, there's equal weight on each side of this line. Ski boots have a visible balance line, a mold seam at the toe area that appears to run right down the center of the boot. In reality, though, this line is 1 to 2 degrees inside of center, intentionally placing the foot mass outside of center. This is good for skiers with a neutral stance or knock-knees, but bad for those with bowlegs.
Bowlegged skiers will balance better in boots that can make big cant adjustments-such as Sanmarco's Symflex cuff cant or Dachstein's Servo Curving System heel-or have a small sole angle (1 degree or less). Small sole angle boots include: Alpina's A2s, all Dolomites, Dachstein's DZR, Nordica's Exopowers, Raichle's Carver and F-Ones and Salomon's Performa Prolinks.
Finishing Touches
As with side-to-side balance, fore/aft balance dramatically affects your skiing. Fore/aft balance can be achieved by installing lift wedges under the binding toes. Once you narrow down your choices based on fit, have your stance measured in each boot to identify the one in which you balance best.
It's crucial to work with boot fitters who've been trained in current techniques. For a list of fitters who've completed SKI Magazine Master Fit University training, visit us at www.skimag.com .

Choosing the best coardless phone or Wi-Fi digital coardless telephone needs an appreciation of why there are different technologies……
Digitally Enhanced Cordless Telephony and Wireless Fidelity: they utilise radio frequencies in the GHz bands; the differentiator is that the WiFi units are IP devices (connected to wireless LANS) while the DECT are plugged into analogue extensions of public phone lines or to business PBXs. You'll find that one works better in some spaces than the other, and vice-versa. This is why the domestic household uses D.E.C.T. and not Wi.Fi generally.
In businesses the coardless phone that complements the BEST BUY OfficeServ-7030 and OfficeServ-7400 (ratings by What to Buy for Business magazine) is the DECT5020. coardless.pdf
You'll get coardless phones with and without answer machine functionality. For dual, triple and quad packages of the coardless phone then you will be selecting from Binatone, BT, Brother, Motorola, Panasonic, Siemens and Philips:- to name but a few.Â
Choose carefully – phone 0800 652 8052 for information on what TelephoneSystemsDirect considers to be the most appropriate coardless phone for you. It'll be cheaper than elsewhere!

Empire Earth is the only RTS series that allows players to build and rule an empire from the ancient world to the distant future, battling it out across the globe through the eons in a bid for worldwide control. Unlike other RTS games that take away the spoils of victory, Empire Earth III will offer continuous free-form gameplay that will allow players to keep units from one battle to the next.
I sat down with this one for the long weekend and put it through it's paces. It offered up some nice perks like a physics engine, some nice things to look at, and an odd sense of humor. If you really love the real-time strategy games then this falls into that category. But if you need a challenging environment to micro-manage and plan tactics down to the finest detail, or if your computer is anything on the other side of 'older' then don't bother gonig any further. Seriously, just stop right here.
My Rig:
AMD Athlon MP 2.2GHz
Nvidia 6800GT 256MB
The visuals in the game are really good for the most part. The landscapes are highly detailed and lush. There were some problems with coast lines being a little jagged, but I could easily blame that on my AGP architecture. The jungles and mountains and the global view from space for the campaign look beautiful. However, there is a small price to pay for using the physics model. The parts can go flying in very unrealistic ways (like uphill) if one isn't careful, and it does not appear that anyone was too careful.
The units aren't terrifically detailed, but the camera view doesn't look down that far. The soldiers' walk isn't timed quite right, and there are some weird steps being taken. These are minor issues and are usually caused by them trying to go the extra mile with the Physics engine from Ageia. If you're going to go with detailed environments there must be a lot of attention paid to the details of what can be walked over, or flown over, and what can't. Thus, the problem becomes that we have wound up in very attractive prisons.
The interface is nothing original, but it does look pretty. However, one really annoying feature with the UI was that when you want to place a building, your mouse pointer has very little to say about the matter. Buildings will float near the cursor, but not precisely. The game is trying to help you by guessing where you want it to go and coming up with an approximation that is zoned for building placement. I can manage that on my own, thanks. If I can't place a tower on the spot my cursor is located then a simple red color, or an icon that says no, is fine.
Well, I suppose they tried. Each of the units have a different saying; even per epoch. For example, when the Western builders are in the medieval area they say silly simpleton things like "Me builder. Me build." Then later when you move out of the dark ages and into the colonial times, he is a bit more spohisticated with union required tea breaks. These are often cute, if not suggestive, and represent the different feelings of the times regarding superstitions, bravado, and geekiness. However, some of it is downright vulgar and has no place in the game.
The problem is that they won't shut up. Many of the phrases are more than a few words and everytime you tell that unit to move it is another sililoquy. Since there are only 3 or 4 per epoch, you hear that same thing over and over. You rush to get ahead to the future upgrades, and you get to listen to those guys a lot.
The sounds of battle are completely uninteresting and flat. You're viewing the battle from a good distance up so it isn't like one expects to hear grass crunching under foot, but rifles, cannons and vehicles are just quite non-descript. Combine that with the endless chatter and sound takes a big hit.
Really this is just another Age of Empires clone that brings it forward a couple era. The controls are pretty close to the same. However, there are some annoying omissions. The lack of a map filter makes for a very challenging time in trying to discern buildings from soldiers from workers. You still get the standard options for division of labor with the ctrl+# so a quick tap of the appropriate number on the keyboard selects that particular army or place like many other games. The same goes for waypoints coming out of the training building.
The differentiating features aren't numerous, but a couple were quite helpful. Population management is a snap since buildings come with their own workers. So you don't have to spend all day cranking peons out of the town center. You can have just one or two builders making everything and those buildings are then self-maintaining. He can build a warehouse near a deposit of ore or lumber, and that warehouse comes with 3 works that spend their time harvesting it. You can spend extra money for that building to hire extra workers and increase productivity, but, thankfully, that is a one time expenditure. The other big difference is that one doesn't need to manage several different resources. No matter if the deposit is ore, lumber, or fish it all goes into the same resources pool. Combine that with a wealth pool (built up by commerce in the market place) and managing your army couldn't be easier.
Of course, most of the complaints are along these lines. The RTS has been so dramatically simplified that an NBC writer (presently on strike, thank Goodness) could do it! Well, true I don't have to worry about chopping down trees, mining ore with scores of slaves, or having them all get killed by a bombing run. Yes, it lowers the bar of difficulty, steeply, but that can make the game a bit more accessible.
Yet in lowering that bar a lot more people will be affected by the gameplay, and there are a lot of issues with the game.
The AI is piteous. Armies would often march passed each other on the battlefield to take out a building that is very simply replaced and rarely strategic. They'd take out my marketplace which dampens my wealth, but come on! They'd come at me in droves, but only from a single direction which was very easy to defend even as I was still getting used to the layout. Combine that with the fact that each force is very similar that it feels overpowering. While I can't simply win with a single type of unit, there are no big difficiencies that make me manage a widely varied force. A couple tanks, a few troops and a couple lf air bases and it was over in 90 minutes; even 7 vs 1. That the AI attacks itself helped, but it didn't even do that very well. I watched one PC civilization pummel another one and then conveniently leave its army sitting there in the corner. A pair of flame tanks took them out without a fight and that should never happen.
Pathing in general is pretty poor as vehicles can't get around each other as they try to navigate, and yet the enemy can march right through yours. It's rather pointless to set up roadblocks because all one does is stifle his or her own troops from getting where they are needed. In one case, my helicopters wouldn't fly over a single trooper because he was standing halfway up the hill the enemy was perched upon. Naval battles are hideous as boats take several deadly minutes trying to line up to get the enemy in the firing arc. If there are three or more in a fleet they just bump into each other like blind children, taking fire all the while, until they finally get into range and orientation to fire. As the ships get bigger and more powerful this is actually less of a problem as you need less ship to do equal damage, but still very annoying. These games have been around for a long time, and these oversights are rather rediculous.
Another issue is the huge leap in PC requirements. My machine isn't the newest kid on the block, but the recommended PC has a 3.2GHz CPU, 1GB+ RAM, and an NVIDIa 7000 series video card! That's a lot of power for an RTS and one that doesn't work very hard to be great anyway. I was able to play, but I got warned about my video memory being low several times. I think a little bit more time could have been spent on optimizing this part.
The multiplayer is frought with issues, the single player skirmishes are boring due to a couple game-breaking abilities, and the World Domination mode seems to be a hapless version of Rise of Nations. It is a lot easier to play now that so much minutia has been removed, but it isn't challenging to the verteran types that have been anxiously awaiting another of the EE series. In simplifying the interface, many have been left insulted, and the game goes on to insult one's intelligence regarding historical accuracy.
Furthermore, right out of the box you need a 380+MB download to patch the game and there is lots of room for many many more.

Mine is EV trained in Sp. Attack. It knows:
Sacred Fire: High power, decent accuracy, STAB, 50% chance to burn.
Earth Power: Good power high accuracy, chance to lower Sp. Def, used to deal with Electric and Rock types.
Calm Mind: Used to increase special stats.
Psychic: Good power, high accuracy, chance to lower Sp. Def.
Ho-oh Learnset
Good, rounded attacks. Maybe throw in roost for recovery, or Thunder to take out Kyogre and Lugia.
I think thats an excellent Ho-oh!
Ho-Oh @ Fire Gem
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef
Mild Nature (+SAtk, -Def)
God, I love Ho-oh now. I swept 2 Ubers on PO with him.
Ho-Oh @ Choice Band
Trait: Regenerator
Adamant Nature (+ Atk, - SAtk)
EVs: 252 Atk, 240 HP, 16 SDef
- Flame Charge
- Sacred Fire
- Brave Bird
- Earthquake
Simple set. Flame Charge is used to boost Ho-Oh's twiddling Speed, as well as having huge power. Sacred Fire is used when you really need that burn, like when you are facing Zekrom. Brave Bird is more powerful STAB, and Earthquake gets good coverage. The HP EVs were altered so that he could switch into Stealth Rock twice.
Gen V
Ho-Oh @ Choice Scarf
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
Nature: Bold
Ability: Re-generator/Pressure
Item: Leftovers
EVs: 252 Defense, 252 Hp, and 6 S.def
Calm-mind makes him a special sponge. Flamethrower is for STAB. Recover is awesome healing paired with re generator but it may be worth noting that giving him Pressure and Roost is great for eliminating some of his weaknesses. Toxic is for stalling.
Recover -Recover is used over roost for fear of a smart opponent playing something like an Earthquake when he has lost his flying typing. Restores heatlh and softens up the rest of regenerator when injured by stealth rock. I guess you could use roost if you didn't want to get X4 damage from stone edge, but I think earthquakes are a bigger threat for him if he were to lose his flying typing.
Sacred Fire-STAB fire, breaks through most everything that doesn't resist it, and sets in a bunch of burns on the opponent.
Brave Bird-Deals with Kyogre, Palkia, Reshiram, and all those other annoying guys.
Substitute/ Tailwind/ Whirlwind/Earthquake-Tailwind allows him to get past his base 90 speed issue, which can really screw you over in ubers. Earthquake offers another combat move, and is generally pretty handy, especially against things like Palkia, which double resist him, or Zekrom, who can be OHKO'd on the switch with the help of hazards. Whirlwind can allow for phazing, which is an option to pair with Substitute if you want to sacrifice a second move, and substitute allows Ho-oh to PP stall low moves like water spout on Kyogre. Be wary of thunder though. You could combine it with pressure and run it out pretty quickly, but I think his new ability will be of more use.
Suggested item: Leftovers
Suggested Nature: Adamant
Suggested ability: Regenerator
Ho-oh @ Life Orb
Trait: Regnerator
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
Black and White 2 Ho-oh
Special Sweeper
Item : Life orb
Ability : Regenerator
EVs : 252 Satk , 252 Sdef , 4 Hp
Flamethower for Stab and a chance to burn , Earthquake for coverage ,
Phychic cuz its a good move and Giga drain for the life orb and for Kyorge
EV's: 248 HP/176 Atk/84 SpD
Nature: Adamant
Item: Focus Sash
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Quiet
Safeguard-To protect the team from status problems
Recover-To keep Ho-Oh from fainting
Fire Blast-A good STAB, and good for burning the target
Sacred Fire-A good STAB and for burn. It is a priority move for Ho-Oh to have
This Pokemon's moveset is made specially for defense.
Tailwind Sweeper
Ho-Oh @ Life Orb
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- Sacred Fire
- Tailwind
- Roost/Earthquake
[email protected] Orb
Ev's: 252 Sp.Def/ 252 Attack/ 4 Hp
-Sacred Fire
-Brave Bird
-Iron Head
Support Ho-oh
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Spe, 4 Atk
Sacred Fire
Ho-Oh @ Power Herb/Charcoal/Flame Plate
Trait: pressure
This set has won countless battles for me:
Sacred Fire: Chance of burn, high power, nice STAB.
Roost/Recover: Recovery to keep this beast alive
Sky Attack: High Power, critical hits land easily, may make the target flinch, and if you chose power herb, takes one turn instead of two, a nice 90 accuracy
Earth Power/Thunderbolt: Earth Power has decent power, and gets rid of Electric Andy rock types, while Thunderbolt has the same power and gets rid of water types and flying types.
Ho-oh @ Leftovers
Role: Special Tank
Ability: Regenerator
Nature: Adamant
Ev: 252 HP, 252 SP def
Move set:
Sacred Fire: Obvious reasons. STAB, Power, Burn, Complements his high attack
Brave Bird: STAB, Power, Accuracy, Goes nicely with Regenerator and Leftovers
Earthquake: Power, Accuracy, Coverage
Reflect: Helps the side that he is not as strong on. Rock Moves usually come as physical, so this could save this beasts life.
Ho-oh is a GOD among most ubers in my opinion, burn really dampens down Zekrom who can be a major threat considering his lower defense. I'm not actually sure about the evs on SP def over physical, but as of right now it is ideal. One thing about Ho-oh however: WATCH. OUT. FOR. ROCKS.
Ho-oh Wall moveset
Ho-oh (Oh-No!) @ Leftovers
Shiny: No, As A Shiny Dream World Ho-Oh is Not legal.
Regenerator (Hidden Ability)
Calm Nature (+SpD, -Atk)
Hidden Power Dark
IV's: 31/31/31/31/31/31
EV's: +252 HP, +252 SpD, +4 Def or +4 SpA.
Roost/Recover (Or Both!)
Ancient Power to 10% Raise ALL Stats
Giga Drain to Regain HP

Proenza Schouler Stays The Course
While fashion labels have been trying to figure out what needs to be changed in order to survive this recession, Proenza Schouler says its plan is simple: Stick to the same message.
"We are handling our business in the same manner—being focused and very sure about the message we are communicating," Shirley Cook, chief executive of the label, said via email. "There is something to be said for being true to your brand in times of wealth and times of scarcity. Being too extreme and blowing with the wind can definitely be very dangerous. … Shoppers are more educated than they've ever been and want luxury for luxury prices."
Ms. Cook said the strategy of the label, which is designed by Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, is to "be true to the DNA" of Proenza Schouler, which thus far has been to create clothing that has fashion-forward detailing and silhouettes but isn't inaccessible to the shopper. "These are clothes that you desire and can also wear--nothing is too precious for reality," she said, pointing to a $550 cotton skinny pant and a $1,525 body-skimming shift dress from the line's pre-fall collection as examples of pieces that are designed to be worked into the shopper's existing wardrobe to update it.
The label is doing one thing differently, however – it's changing the venue of its Fall 2009 collection. Proenza, which has shown its collection at the cavernous Park Avenue Armory for the last few seasons of New York fashion week, is in discussions to hold the show at a different venue that will likely be smaller. "We want a venue that allows the show attendee to focus on the collection and not be distracted by the venue," said Ms. Cook, who cited "aesthetic reasons" as the main reason for the locale change. "The clothing and the show should be the only experience."
Ms. Cook did not comment on how much the label is spending on the show but noted that the Proenza team has "always been very careful regarding our show budgets."

Basic Lesotho Information
Lesotho is a democratic, sovereign and independent country which has an unusual distinction of being completely surrounded by another country, the republic of South Africa.
Lesotho offers natural beauty, rugged terrain, and rich local culture and traditions, and a scarcity of civilization's trappings, such as landlords and fences, provides a permit-free playground for the more intrepid adventurers.
Accommodation can be found in all the regions of Lesotho, some calmly situated on river banks, some on mountain sides, and some at the highest altitude in Southern Africa.
A visitor to Lesotho can choose to stay in a bed and breakfast or hotel in a town or the capital, Maseru, or choose to be spoiled by nature and find chalet or self-catering accommodation deep in the highlands of Lesotho, totally surrounded by beautiful mountains and a peaceful environment.
Lesotho offers breathtaking mountain vistas and adventure activities such as skiing, pony trekking, hiking and abseiling for the intrepid traveller. More leisurely pursuits for those seeking a relaxing and revitalising break include birdwatching, boating and fishing.
Lesotho's history can be explored at leisure with visits to San rock art, dinosaur footprints and cultural villages where the rich local culture of the Basotho people can be experienced.

Second Chances by Pat Smith
For so many years, I was imprisoned with shame, regret and disappointment. I realized through my journey it wasn't just the bad decisions I made that put me there, but some things in life just happened to me. And all of this together prepared me for something greater.
Decisions in the past, both good and bad can and will impact your life forever. Every touch point has a purpose. I have used those moments, through all my struggles, to become wiser, stronger and closer with God. You, too, can use your moments to fuel your Second Chance.
Join my journey through this book and read about turning our trials to triumphs, our misery to ministries and turning our passion into purpose. My prayer for every reader is that you can release any anger, hurt, pain or disappointment you carry so that you can receive your second chance. When you do, you'll impact not only your life for good, but other's as well.
With Love,

My Old Convention Home
Louisville to Develop Luxury Hotel in a Bid to Attract Events
Louisville entered an agreement to develop a 600-room luxury hotel with Omni Hotels & Resorts near its convention center downtown, making a big bet on the economic benefits of attracting more events. But the home of the Kentucky Derby is running in an increasingly crowded field.
In the five years through 2013, convention-hotel supply—measured as the number of rooms available multiplied by the number of days in the period—climbed 7.1%, according to hotel-research firm STR Inc. Over the same period, convention-hotel revenue...

Moon Mandala Feature with Jennifer Lawrence (interview)
Jennifer Lawrence, LPC, ATR is an art therapist & licensed counselor who shares the teachings of cycle awareness for divine self-care. Jennifer has been documenting her cycle with daily mandalas on Instagram #100daysofmenstrualmandalas, and she even created a cycle tracking course for women who want to develop sustainable self-care based on lunar, seasonal and menstrual cycles. In this personal and down-to-earth interview Jennifer shares a window into her life and creative process!
April: Where are you right now? Where is the moon and what is she doing?
Jennifer: I think we've finally shifted into spring here in New Jersey. My daughter and I spent an amazing Sunday morning brunching and then playing at the beach. The full moon is approaching which always affects my sleep. Her bright light never fails to wake me in the middle of the night for a little extra contemplation I guess! She definitely likes to be admired… hmmm… maybe an energy I could bring into my own life. As I enter my perimenopause years I am certainly getting plenty of opportunities to shed insecurities and to own my brilliance!
A: Describe your relationship to creating moon mandalas... Where do you begin? What materials do you like to use?
J: I am totally in love with using the moon mandala! It is such a powerful tool for refocusing and recommitting each lunar cycle. I find that I use the mandala to give voice to my intuitive explorations and that drives the materials I use. Most of the time this means more structured and easy to control materials like markers and collage. Sometimes I simply write whatever comes to mind.
A: What is one thing that helps you access your intuition?
J: You recently demonstrated how you use oracle and tarot cards to begin your mandala and I'm hooked. This last new moon I used The Medicine Woman Tarot Deck and I felt like it really helped me access a whole new level of exploration.
A: In what ways does creating a new moon mandala enrich your life?
J: So many ways!!! When I'm feeling overwhelmed looking back at the current cycle's mandala helps me refocus on my Soul's purpose. It reminds me that I'm not just a mama working through the mundane routines of raising a small child; I'm also a person who is connected to something larger. This in turn supports me in finding the sacred in the mundane and to experience life with more intention.
A: How has your creative process evolved over time?
J: I used to have hours and plenty of personal space to create art. Now, not so much. I've had to learn to embrace the creativity of the present moment more than anything else. It might happen for like 10 seconds each day, but at least it's a work in progress! I'm learning to give myself credit for bringing creativity to the challenges of parenting and homemaking, whether that's approaching conflict in a manner that's different from my instinctive response (um, to yell like a maniac!!), or discovering new ways to getting everyone fed without feeling like I need to become a personal chef. Like I said, it happens in brief glimpses but it is a moment to moment practice that is growing each day.
Images from #100daysofmenstrualmandalas pre-ovulation into ovulation.
A: What fuels your creative spark?
J: Nature and everyday life. There are also so many creative folks sharing on the internet. When I do get a few minutes to play with art materials I'll often watch a tutorial and simply practice something. This takes the pressure off my tired mama mind; simply starting something/anything gets the creative juices flowing and shifts my brain from the details of my day into more of a flow state.
A: Would you be willing to give readers some ideas or inspiration for creating their own moon mandala?
J: Don't feel pressured to make it look like anything. I super simple technique for starting a mandala is to simply choose a color that you are drawn to and start in the middle of your mandala. Let whatever wants to be drawn have a voice. You don't have to create a "work of art" to benefit from the practice of centering and setting intentions with a mandala. And don't feel pressured to share it on social media! If that's a barrier to getting started then let it go, please!!! I'm also a fan of using concrete and structured materials - collage, markers, stamps. You can explore a lot of ideas simply by opening up to whatever you are drawn to and then arranging it within a mandala. If all else fails and you've got a little one around, invite him or her to start creating with you and then join the fun!!!
A: Three wishes ... and anything else you'd like to share…
1) That all women can celebrate their bodies as sacred, magical, and powerful. 2) That all mamas can know that they are not alone, that this sacred work we are doing is part of something much larger than any one of us and IT MATTERS. 3) That I could sleep in an extra hour, just one of these days, please!!!

|UK Release Date
|14th May 2015
|George Miller
|Hardy, Theron
|120 minutes
|14th May 2015
Like the cinematic equivalent of free diving for two hours, George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road throws you head first into an off-the-Richter road movie that will leave you, much like it's characters, emotionally wrecked but ultimately elated. Like Burning Man, Shangri La, and day three of the Download festival, Mad Max: Fury Road is a big ol' dusty, dirty bag of rock and roll craziness that will have you firmly gripped for 120 minutes, I even shed a few tears.
Mad Max: Fury Road is Millers' first film since Happy Feet 2 in which Elijah Wood voiced a cute dancing animated penguin. This may explain why when let loose in the world of humans and vehicles powered by electric guitars and mega watt speakers Miller has let himself turn the crazy up to 11. The original Mad Max (Road Warrior) was a cult, low budget Australian movie with its roots firmly in punk and anarchy and it's refreshing that Miller hasn't cleaned up his act for Fury Road. Miler is bowing down to no Hollywood Gods here; Fury Road is not about heroics or appealing to mass markets, it's about the bloody, filthy, dangerous and necessary wheels of a revolution. Hats off to the 70-year-old Miller to making a 'sequel' to a movie over thirty years old and not selling his ethics down the river in order to do so. I doubt kids will be playing with an Imperator Furiosa doll anytime soon - more's the pity.
Our hero (of sorts) the infamous Max Rotansky is living hand to mouth, a scavenger hunted by scavengers and haunted by the past, he has finally been caught by a tribe of War Boys who bow to a cruel despot Immortan Joe. Immortan Joe is the kind of leader that keeps his world up high, away from the water starved masses below whilst he lives in a green lush world where mothers milk is a high commodity and women are kept as breeders in a high domed room far away from grabbing hands. Max becomes a blood bag, a human diffusion machine to keep Nux, a sick War Boy whom like the others believes by serving Immortan Joe he will see an afterlife, in death he will see glory and be free from his illness. Chained to him, hanging upside down like a bat as the life slowly drips out of him, it's not quite the Max we were expecting. All this is about to change though; as Immortan Joe gathers his 'subjects' to wave off Imperator Furiosa, a shorn haired, prosthetic limbed, dead eyed female on a gas and bullet gathering mission things go up a notch as Furiosa has embarked on a mission of salvation and is freeing Immortan Joe's desperate and abused 'Wives' to a better world, to the 'Green Place'. Cue vehicles, chases action and chaos and a thrill ride of a lifetime.
Relentless action sequences in big movies often leave me cold because deep down I feel a bit cheated, that they are 'set pieces', crowd pleasers there to satisfy a modern audiences need for BIG EXPLOSIONS and POINTLESS STUFF. Miller is not playing to this crowd. The action sequences are relentless, there is rarely a moment of downtime but the action is used for a reason. Nothing is pointless and nothing is thrown in and then not followed through. There is action and there is reaction. It is highly imaginative; despite mostly being one vehicle being chased by War Dogs in other aggressive vehicles it is never repetitive or boring. The sheer level of imagination deserves applauding. The scenes are well executed and always with intelligence, originality and humour.
Although the aesthetics of the past Max movies are clear and present in this one, cinematic technology has obviously moved forward since 1980 and Miller has used this in the best possible sense. There is still a lot of pleasure derived from 'in camera' moments. The wild imagination involved in the differing types of vehicles, costumes and characters is something else. John Seale's beautiful cinematography makes full use of the beautiful stark landscapes. Colin Gibson's production design is raw and stunning and funnily enough at one point as they travel across the terrain I did find myself reminded of Priscilla: Queen of The Desert which he also worked on. See if you can see the bit I mean…. The script, by Miller with Brendan McCarthy and Nick Louthairs is lean and mean, there aren't a lot of words being uttered here when a nice piece of action or a wide shot can convey what's needed; but that is not intended as a disparaging comment. Nothing is lacking, it's economic in the best sense. Jenny Beaven's costumes are stunning and the soundtrack is either war-mongering drums or Junkie XL's banging beats. A cacophony of anarchy.
Let's get one thing straight here, Charlize Theron is not badass 'for a woman', Charlize Theron is JUST BADASS. Like Ripley in Alien her sex doesn't come into her portrayal of powerful and emotionally layered Imperator Furiosa. It is a prodigious role Miller has created and Theron has done it justice in every sense. Not once do we question her ability to kick ass in the utmost sense, she owns the role and I relished every single second of it. Miller has created a male centric universe where the females are more than equal. They are the revolution bringers in this tale but they are not trying to do it without men, just with the right people. Who'd have thought that a Mad Max film would be so feminist? The wives are strong but wise, wife Angharad calls the gun the 'anti seed - plant one and watch it destroy'. Imperator Furiosa is not trying to do anything else other than create a better world for the young females in her care than the one she has had to endure. Searching for a nirvana that may not exist anymore, she is pursuing salvation, not glory. Miller has created a world where male and females can be strong and can also be weak, can be both heroes and villains. Shame that is such an unusual feat in mainstream films today. Rosie Huntington Whitely is great as wisest favourite wife Angharad and is ably supported by Zoe Kravtiz, Riley Keough and my favourite Abby Lee. They are all distinctive and strong roles for the young actors and they handle them magnificently. There are even women OVER FIFTY with guns being tough! Shock horror! Hollywood would have us believe these women were either playing mum / grandma or dead. Unless of course you're Meryl Streep then you can play who the fuck you want.
Tom Hardy's Max is a man haunted by those he could not save, ghosts of those left by the wayside thwart him throughout his journey but he is still a heroic anti hero. Hardy's Max isn't quite the beautiful blue-eyed crazy that the young Gibson did so mesmerisingly, there is a little more camp in Hardy's macho but it is still a commanding and memorable performance and Hardy is a presence all right. I'd happily sit through another instalment of Max's journey with Hardy embodying the role.
Hugh Keays Burne is fantastically terrifying as Immortan Joe and lastly an unrecognisable Nicholas Hoult is simply sensational as Nux. It took me a good twenty minutes to realise it was him such is his transformation but he is just fantastic and had me crying more than once. Little tyke.
In Short:
It surprised on so many levels Mad Max: Fury Road. Not only in the enjoyment of the action (which I did enjoy immensely) but in the deep level of humanity Miller has created here where so many Hollywood blockbusters fail and leave a gaping chasm of unreality and cold emotion. It's a frenetic, fast paced, feminist thrill ride with a revolutionist punk heart and its arms wide open for hope. If you're not on your way to the cinema to see it already…then hurry up!

I'm going to start by pointing out that I have a soft spot for Sabriel, the first book in Garth Nix's Old Kingdom series. Clariel, which I just finished, is a prequel to the series and I'll get right to "reviewing" the book after I explain why I have a soft spot.
Many years ago (1997) my first novel came out and I did my first reading at Bastion Books in Nanaimo, British Columbia. When I was finished, Thora, the bookstore owner, said, "I want to give you a book as a thank you." And she handed Sabriel to me (bookstore owners seem to have an ESP when it comes to choosing the right book for the right person). I fell in love with the tone, the magic, and the ability of the author to make a new and interesting fantasy world ring with truth. So that's why I have a soft spot. I, of course, I read the following two books in the series.
Flashforward to now. Clariel, the prequel, was released almost twenty years later. I wondered if Nix could return to that world and capture the same voice. I'm pleased to say that the book rings with the same believability and authenticity as the trilogy (in other words the Old Kingdom still feels real). Clariel is a strong character with stark choices to make in her life. And the story itself does not feel as if it's a retread of the other novels. In fact it's a pleasure to see the Kingdom in its more idyllic days (uh, not that everything is rosy--far from it--there are intrigues within intrigues in the palace and, on top of that, the constant threat of free magic creatures). And it's a pleasure to have Mogget, the cat who is more than a cat, come back to life again (one of my favourite characters in fantasy fiction). All in all, a tale well told.
When I was finished, I began reading Sabriel again. The two books work well together (even though the stories take place hundreds of years apart). So if you haven't read any of this series start with Clariel. Then follow the path from there...

KASTEN ART APPRAISAL is a division of Kim K Art and Design, LLC. When you're ready to work with your art collection, we can assist you.
$100 minimum; $150/hour —Verbal evaluations are offered for a minimum of $100, and offer clients the ability to find out what they have before the larger expenditure of a full written appraisal. Advance notice is given to a client if the artwork in question is valued at less than $100, so no monies are wasted in the process. Verbal evaluations can be conducted over the phone or in person. No information is given in writing.
$150/hour — Written appraisals are offered for a variety of purposes: non-cash charitable donations, insurance coverage, damage claims, estate tax, gift tax, resale, division of property among heirs, etc. The pricing on written appraisals depends upon the number of artworks and the artworks themselves. Estimates of the cost are given in advance when photographs of the artworks and information on size and provenance is provided to the appraiser.
$150/hour — Written consultations are offered as a less detailed and less expensive alternative to a full written appraisal. NOTE: Consultations are NOT appraisals. Consultations are offered not as a substitute for full appraisals, but as an option when a written document is wanted, and a range of value for each object is acceptable to the client. Consultations are based upon 25+ years of art industry experience, and are similar to what an auction house might provide as a pre-sale estimate, although the market for your artworks could reside in a number of different venues and geographic locations.
$150/hour— If you are looking to sell an object and would like assistance not just with determining value, but also with navigating the auction process from start to finish, assistance can be offered either directly or indirectly. If done directly, the entire auction process, from shipping/insurance, client contract, and all communications can be taken care of for you.
$150/hour — Art inventory services can provide you with clear and concise information about your collection: from detailed photographs of each work, to location, size, condition, provenance, notations on the medium, artist, time period, and value. An inventory can be prepared using your choice of software, from Excel to specialized art collector software programs.
The other side of my business is creating unique artworks for clients for a variety of reasons:
--Children's rooms, reproductions of famous artworks, pet portraits, and commissioned works on canvas in both abstract and realistic styles. Artworks are based upon the needs and wants of the client to fit their living space.

A new report just out from Public Agenda is called "The Charitable Impulse." It's subtitle is "Those who give to charities–and those who run them–talk about what's needed to keep the public's trust."
I'll be looking at this more closely in the days ahead. Just a quick glance at the summary reveals one very important issue for nonprofit marketers: the gap in perception between small donors and nonprofit leaders relating to certain fundraising and marketing techniques.
Many of the small donors interviewed for the report pointed to what they considered to be slick, inappropriate, or wasteful practices of nonprofit organizations, including "highly-polished direct mail campaigns, telemarketing, unsolicited premiums, multiple or duplicated appeals in a short period of time."
The report says the small donors also disliked nonprofits acting like "businesses" and "selling" to people.
On the other hand, the Public Agenda report says that very few nonprofit leaders interviewed for the study "focused on the problems raised by small donors and other research among the public, that is, the growth of slick marketing techniques and the possibility that they are alienating donors…"
Wow! That gap is a very pointed and complicated issue. Who among us has not ever seen an example of slick marketing materials from an organization that otherwise presents itself, usually rightly, as in desperate need of the public support?
And who among nonprofit marketers hasn't felt the need and pressure to ensure that their organization's materials look snappy, well-conceived and "professional"? (Not to mention the fact that producing "polished" marketing materials is more affordable than ever.)
I'll have a lot more to say about this soon. In the meantime, here's a link to a short article I wrote in the past called "Six Proven Ways to Strengthen Your Organization's Through Building Your Brand."
Certainly, the perceptions of small donors, as outlined in the Public Agenda report, need to be considered when engaging in brand-building activities for your nonprofit.
Are you Getting Attention?

There's a big benefit to all the rain we had a few weeks back: come summer, we'll have plenty to drink. In fact, we may not have any water shortages at all this year.
That's good news for California's agriculture industry, which relies on water reserves to irrigate crops in the otherwise-barren Central Valley. In past years, meager rainfall caused hardships across the state, with farmers sucking nearby rivers down to dangerously low levels.
But with an excess of water this year, farmers may have so breathing room, and might be able to plant more water-intensive crops, according to the Gate.
It's good news for cities, too, which are expected to get nearly all the water they need this year. In past years, some municipalities have had to ration water due to shortages.
When they checked snow levels last month, officials found levels that are double the average. Melting snow is one of the state's primary sources of water during summer months.
It's impossible to say exactly how healthy California's water supply will be until after February and March. Meteorologists are expecting that precipitation will be particularly unpredictable this year.

Worthington Historical Society Antiques Show: Something For Everyone
Both experienced collectors and antique newbies should mark their calendars for the upcoming Worthington Historical Society Antiques Show, an annual event that is now celebrating 70 years of success. Scheduled to take place on January 31 and February 1, the show boasts a little something for everyone--regardless of style, taste or experience. "The great thing about the show is that the dealers really bring a wide variety of items," said Director Kate LaLonde. "In fact, I have what I consider to be a mid-century, modern/eclectic/contemporary style, and I came home with a painting and a necklace after last year's show."
Age is also not a factor. The 2014 show attracted multiple generations, including a 12-year-old from Riverlea who arrived at the show in search of treasures. He found what he was looking for--a Native American textile, a knife and a needle.
This year the event is being held a few weeks later than usual so as not to interfere with the holidays, and it will feature several new exhibitors and their items, from city, country and painted furniture to stoneware, decoys, antique dolls, redware, quilts, linens, antique writing instruments, estate and costume jewelry, silver and much more. Last year a late 19th century Sheraton ladies secretary from New England attracted many admirers and sold early in the show.
Proceeds from the show, which typically attracts between 600 and 700 shoppers, benefit the preservation of the Worthington Historical Society properties, including the Orange Johnson House Museum, Jeffers Mound and the Old Rectory.
Where: Holiday Inn Worthington, 7007 N. High Street, Worthington

At some point all of us have experienced website errors and have witnessed some error page displayed. On top of that there is no obvious reason as to why they appear
The error pages may be quite frustrating. You are just browsing, blogging, writing, coding and suddenly you are smacked with 404 error page or some other error. Most of the time you have no clue why you have received this error, but it can be actually quite helpful if you understand what is the exact reason for it. Below are some of the most commonly seen errors and an explanation and a few tips how to resolve them.
500: Internal Server Error
An Internal Server Error means that the server attempted to handle your request, but something went wrong in the process. You can easily check what is the exact cause of the error from the web server error log. If you are hosted on a cPanel server you can check the error log from your cpanel -> Logs -> Error Logs. You can check the entries there and if you are interested in particular IP you can search for it by pressing "CTRL + F" on your keyboard. The most common reasons are:
1. Invalid permissions for some file or folder. We work to ensure our customers always operate in the most secure web hosting environment possible. This occasionally means certain files are assigned permissions that don't allow them to be accessed. Generally files should be with 644 permissions and folders should be with 755 permissions (there are exeptions of course). In such case the exact file/folder with wrong permissions can be easily checked from the error log.
2. Invalid characters in your .htaccess files. This is a special file which allows a user to control certain aspects of the Apache web server. While powerful, it must be very precisely constructed. Your Error Log will tell you if there is a problem and on which line it exists.
3. Verify you do not have invalid characters in your index.html, index.php scripts or dependent scripts. As most websites are comprised of many files, we strongly suggest referring to your error logs for the precise location. You can also replace a suspect file with a version known to be working to see if the switch corrected the problem.
403 Forbidden
Status code 403 responses are the result of the web server being configured to deny access, for some reason, to the requested resource by the client. Also the Apache web server may return 403 Forbidden in response to requests for url paths that correspond to filesystem directories, when directory listings have been disabled in the server (this cab ne done via the .htaccess file). If you receive such error you may open a support ticket and our support team shall gladly assist you.
404: Page Not Found
The 404 or Not Found error message is a HTTP standard response code indicating that the client was able to communicate with the server, but the server could not find what was requested.
The web site hosting server will typically generate a "404 Not Found" web page when a user attempts to follow a broken or dead link; hence the 404 error is one of the most recognizable errors users can find on the web.
A 404 error should not be confused with "server not found" or similar errors, in which a connection to the destination server could not be made at all. A 404 error indicates that the requested resource may be available again in the future; however, the fact does not guarantee the same content. The most common reasons are:
1. Make sure the domain name is entered properly, including any necessary subdomains and subfolders.
2. Verify that the files which you are trying to open are in the correct directories. Often files are uploaded in the wrong directory or you are trying to open the wrong directory . You can check this using your cPanel -> File Manager or your preferred FTP program.
3. URL's are case-sensitive. Verify that your URL employs the correct casing, then try again
Those are some of the most commonly seen errors and now you can easily diagnose what is the exact cause in just a few minutes. Of course if you have more questions you can always contact our genius support team 24/7. You can find more info about the other errors here:

Hahaha Davide! U sound exactly like one of the financial advisors. U must be working in the finance industry?
Im sure we will all take note of the statement :P
Due to my recent good long run of correct football predictions starting with Stoke City vs Sunderland, I guess people on football.co.uk forum might want and start to follow my insight with some of their money. So I created this post to clearly state the the rules and conditions to avoid any misunderstandings in near future with regards to financial investment. So please read them carefully and bear in mind before you do anything. Thank you!
Firstly, I do not encourage anyone one other myself to bet on football because I know the negative effects of long term gambling and how hard it is to earn money by the proper channel. But If you do insist on punting, I dont mind you following my recommendations.
Secondly, I do not hold or take any responsibility when you follow my predictions with any amount of your money and the related forecasts of mine did not come true in the end. That means you bet at your own risk.
Thirdly and finally, my predictions, forecasts, analysis and those marked with asterix stars are strictly meant for fun, leisure and reference. Do not invest so much.
Dear Moderators, please take note of my this post to avoid any conflicts in future at your site. Guys, Thank you & have a nice day ahead!
