In Sydney we met the most amazing lady!!! Direct from Sondra Ray
In Sydney we met the most amazing lady!!! Sondra and Jonine in Sydney In Sydney, Australia, we hooked up with one of the most powerful women in
the worldwide breathwork community we have met as yet. Jonine Lee not only
has an active full time breathwork practice in Sydney, but is the president
of the Australian Breathwork Association that is giving breathwork in
Australia an accredited position in the healing arts. Jonine has been
practicing and training others in breathwork for over 20 years, and
graciously accepted the job of organizing events for us in Sydney on our
Pacific Tour, which she carried off with great aplomb and grace. We are so
happy to have made a new friend who is so committed to this wonderful work
of liberating people from their negative and toxic thoughts through the
power of the breath. We stayed with Jonine and her twin flame, Victor, over
the span of a week, and had many opportunities to spread the good news of
breathwork to the people of Sydney. The workshops were well attended, which
speaks of the fruit Jonine has nurtured and cultivated over the years in her
building of the local and national breathwork community. Also, we would like to thank Fiona Bury, the young Irish lady living in
Sydney, whose mother Angela Bury, who we met in Dublin, Ireland, gave to us
as a contact. Fiona was responsible for hooking us up with Jonine, and also
drove many hours to be with us as an assistant at our workshops. Her bright
face and upbeat attitudes about breathwork are doing much to uplift the
people of Sydney, and extend the service of this work to many others. We
were happy to go out together to the famous Sydney Opera House on Monday
night with Jonine and Fiona, joined by Tom Pellegrino from the USA, who had
flown all the way from Atlanta to attend the workshops. Of course, Mark painted during the trainings and came up with this rendition
of "Sophia, Goddess of Wisdom in Sydney", which one of the participants
purchased to hang in her rebirthing room. It was a powerful presence to have
the painting being made right in the front of the room over three days.
People were amazed at how calming an effect the painting had on the overall
atmosphere while the teaching was taking place. It was like having a silent
teaching unfolding visually before their eyes. The different stages of color
being applied showed the creative process in action, which many said
inspired them to "dig into" their own creative projects they had been
putting off until some future date. Having the painting going on stirred in
them the gumption to get going!!! So, now we are in Adelaide for a week, but we feel we "left our hearts in
Sydney", with our wonderful new friends, until we meet again next year to be
with the dynamic Australian Breathwork Community. Accolades go to Jonine
Lee, for keeping the fires burning, and keeping her dedication on the high
road of Liberation for herself and the people of this wonderful cosmopolitan
city of culture and well deserved recognition. THANK YOU to the people of Sydney, those who attended our workshops and
sessions, and to Jonine, Victor, and Fiona for making our stay a little
piece of Heaven. Bole Baba Ki Jai!! Love, SONDRA & MARK

Google starts to advertise after Microsoft/Yahoo deal
We spend alot of our time looking for articles and news from websites all around the world as Australian news sites are pretty crap. We were up at 2.30 am (Aust time) reading the Bing/Yahoo joint venture on www.telegraph.co.uk which we find useful, when we noticed an advert for Google appear on the right hand side.
The Telegraph allow Australian adverts to be shown to surfers from Australia, which really pisses us off. ( It's like going to visit America, watching TV and seeing Australian adverts, when you want the whole experience.) anyway, they put up an ad that took us to a new feature. We were taken to here: http://www.google.com.au/landing/searchtips/
via this page.
What we also found interesting was that the advert only appeared as we were reading this article

Wheels falling off print media model. Poor old Rupert.
News Ltd put boot into Yellow Pages. Google trump both.
We have been watching with interest the stoush between Google and Rupert, owner of News Ltd.
So, in typical Google style, they respond with a free Real Estate search feature to Google Maps.
This is aimed fair and square at www.realestate.com.au which is 60% owned by News Ltd. We noticed a large parcel of shares go through the market in the last week. It turns out the seller was the Ray White group who got in at the bottom and it would appear out at the top. And they should know!
Poor old Rupert! only last week, News Ltd had a pop at Yellow Pages (Australia) through a purpose built web site www.yellowturningblue.com.au and the gloves came off between the two of them. According to replies to various blogs, employees of Yellow Pages have hit back at what News Ltd have produced as research. The research just pointed out the bleeding obvious. Young people just do not use Yellow Pages anymore.
Now about MySpace..............

Twitter and Death
My friend Greg has built up a good following on his account www.twitter.com/woywegian and the other day his wife popped her head around the door and asked him how much life cover would she get if he died.
This got me thinking because she walked off with a big smile. Poor Greg I thought, 3 more weeks of twittering and then he'll be gone. I could see myself coming to his office to find him slumped across his desk, computer on, halfway through a posting "I don't feel very well at the mo..." and gone. No more. End of his twittering. Hours spent building up a loyal following and now what happens. All those tweeps gone forever!
Now, Greg and I are good friends, but I don't know his pass word. He has over 1,300 followers and boy what a waste to lose them. Should I ask him for his password now or maybe I should ask him to kindly leave it to me in his will. Do you tweet a last message " RIP my friend you were such a great guy" or maybe tweet him a picture of some flowers? On his gravestone we could leave twitter details so visitors could tweet their respects. Greg spent so much time gaining followers, that when he downloaded an iPhone app to twitter from, he had to put a plaster on his thumb because of a blister. 20 hours a day 7 days a week. Now that is dedication
So, my questions. are 1). What happens to a twitter account when you die?
2) Can you leave your password to someone ?

Easing of Australian Copyright Laws
In a landmark case, Ice TV have won the right to copy TV Guides and show them in a different format. After 3 years of battling with an Australian Television company, a recent appeal was won on a 6-0 verdict. This now puts doubt on the copyrights that Sensis, the publisher of Australian Yellow Pages, who have spent many millions of dollars defending their position. A case in 2002, brought by Telstra, the parent of Sensis, bankrupted a company that had reversed engineered a CD of White Pages. The case became known as "Desktop Marketing" and it was reported that three of the judges that ruled in favour of Ice TV, want the Desktop Marketing ruling re visited. You can Read more here but before you do you should read below first.
Here is a brief summary of the 2002 case that Telstra won:
Here is a brief summary of the 2002 case that Telstra won:
(a) Desktop Marketing Systems Pty Ltd v Telstra Corporation Ltd [2002] FCAFC 112
In a decision delivered on 15 May 2002, the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia upheld Justice Finkelstein's earlier ruling that information databases such as telephone directories can be the subject of copyright protection.
Desktop Marketing Systems had copied data from the Telstra White Pages and Yellow Pages Telephone Directories without Telstra's permission. Desktop had used the data, and headings similar to those used by Telstra to organise the information, to develop CD-ROM software products that enable users to conduct different searches through the data.
The Full Court unanimously upheld Finkelstein J's decision, finding that 'to deny copyright protection would permit Desktop to appropriate the benefit of Telstra's substantial labour and expense in performing those activities' (Lindgren J at paragraph 170). Justice Lindgren was not persuaded by the contrary decision of the US Supreme Court in Feist Publications Inc v Rural Telephone Services 499 US 340 (1991) (paragraph 217). He examined English and Australian authorities in detail and found that '...the labour and expense of collecting, verifying, recording and assembling (albeit routinely) data to be compiled...' is capable of itself '...establishing origination and therefore originality...', and may give rise to copyright protection (paragraph 160 at point 10).
The decision confirms the lower threshold of originality required for the protection of databases under Australian copyright law. Desktop Marketing Systems has sought leave to appeal to the High Court.
In America, the state of Oregon, want to bring in an "Opt in" Yellow Pages register: Read
So, there is a growing under current to change the way people regard Yellow Pages from two fronts. The Carbon/Green front and the Internet.
