The Australian Government paid over $3 million to bring Oprah down-under as part of an effort to generate more tourism. The Aussies certainly got value for money in terms of exposure to the US market, but how many in the US realised they were watching one big advertisement, I wonder.

Good luck with the tooth.

Actually, I had to go piecemeal from YouTube clip to YouTube clip to catch up on this happening that I missed. Credit for being sponsored was on the bottom of the screen in huge letters throughout the televised episode. On lots of cuts to commerical break Oprah shouted at the audience, camera , or whatever__ Thankyou Tourism Australia!!! :happydance::happydance::happydance:

Well, for $3mil I would imagine she would be getting the red carpet treatment and would say that everything is great! Why wouldn't it be? It's not like she's an ordinary tourist. I'm not saying Australia isn't a great place to go visit, I'm just saying that nobody else is going to get the same kind of visit that she's getting.

I've also tried to email Oprah many times re Scientology and I never ever get any kind of response.....but then I'm not TC or JT.

And of course, Mother Nature, who was probably pissed at Oprah for achieving Goddess status via media-blitz, managed to undo all that good PR stuff in the blink of an eye; Floods! Cyclones!! Bushfires!!! I blame Oprah.

I just think the priority is in getting the students auditing post haste. Then let them fill in the blanks and satisfy their curiosity as it arises. "Read it, drill it, do it" also works -- in a safe environment, safe where students are allowed the learning experience and not slammed for making a mistake or being less than perfect.

Hi y'all:

Do you feel like coming to Los Altos this Sunday for brunch at 11?:yes:

You're welcomed to attend my event from 3 - 6 which is $10 each, called BLAST FROM THE PAST: the second workshop called MY FAVORITE AXIOM by Candy Swanson.:whistling:

It'll be fun and interactive; for everyone.
......
Then we'll eat after or not, and have fun at a party we create somewhere in that area.

It's a holiday next day = EVERYONE'S INVITED.:happydance:

PM please:coolwink:

We'll be driving through the raindrops to get up north, right through the storm system:omg: headed this way, LA.:clap:

Oh, Saturday is a graduation ceremony [discretion is required so no intrusion] followed by pot luck and party Saturday night.:party::bow::goodluck::buzzin::dancer::dance3::thewave::welcome2::gathering::bighug:

Since it's raining this weekend, this dry run will be quite wet! We'll be doing the for real road trip the weekend of March 4 & 5th. Saturday will be the workshop Los Gatos area:D...
aloha!

This morning I've got an appointment at USC Dental Center at 8:30 am. I am finally going to have a tooth made to fill a gap in my mouth caused by a tooth breaking off while I was eating some licorice in late 2008.

Since I will be in L.A., I am going to stay up there and head to Candy's house, in preparation for our trip to Northern California.

It is good to see Carmelo's latest article concerning creating a standard course for auditors and to also read Leon's helpful reply. The need for what Carmelo is starting is enormous.

Really, if someone wants to train up as an auditor today, where does he or she go? C or S is not a viable alternative so the person can enter into the Independent Field but what they find there can be as confusing as C of S.

Freezone tech seems to have a strong element of CBR (Captain Bill Robertson) tech in it. There is supposed to be an element of the Freezone which teaches and practices pure Hubbard but will not admit any materials into itself past a certain cut off date, ranging from 1973 to the very early 80's depending on who you talk to.

You have a few old timers still auditing such as Candy, who learned her basics on the Flagship Apollo in the 60's and early 70's. She has also studied social work at the U of Hawaii, receiving a Masters Degree from them and incorporates those teachings into her work. You have other old timers who practice some of what Candy practices but have added other rundowns such as the L's and NOTs. Some field auditors have been trained using "Golden Age", some do not want to get involved with G.A.

Then there are newer types of tech besides CBR's offshoots. Alan Walter's tech is one such popular tech, Idenics is another, and recently we received reports about PEAT and there are many others. Carmelo espouses a certain way of auditing which is results driven.

Unifying all this information into a new whole is an ambitious undertaking but one that is sorely needed!

Thanks to Hats for posting the Oprah video. That is certainly a positive endeavor which Oprah is putting her vast resources behind!

Well, probably no more posting from me until I get back on Monday, Feb 21. At that time I will have a report and pictures from the Blast From the Past seminar which Candy is going to put on in Northern California.

Probably they were brought in - same as in South Africa - in the 1920's and 30's for transport in the dry areas. This was before Land Rovers were invented. Horses were good too but not for long trips lasting a week or more. I don't know if there are any feral ones in South Africa. I think the nature conservation guys would have gotten rid of them all so that indigenous species of desert animal don't get sidelined by the camels.

How did all these feral camels end up in Australia? Are they indigenous?

Yes, they were introduced in the early days as pack animals. They are not native. Some escaped, and later when motor cars and a train line was put in in the area, the camels became "redundant" (as the Brits would say) and old-time camel train runners simply let the animals go.

Now Oz has more wild camels than anywhere else . . . . like rabbits:angry:

Are they any good for food? Do people ever eat them?

Yes, camels have traditionally been used for food. Although I don't know if that is also true in australia. Personally I doubt it. If they do it's likely to be 'rare'. :whistling:

I just looked this up on line and there are some postings that say that Australians are being urged to eat camel meat to help control the camel population.

And in Dubai....the latest fad is camel burgers. :eyeroll:
