A big congratulations to Trevor Immelman of South Africa on his win at the US Masters at Augusta, 2008.














A big thank you to HDTV broadcasting the event - the coverage was excellent and the picture, as usual, was perfect. Now all I need is a TiVo/HD recorder so I don't need to get up every morning at 4 or 5am to watch it!

Immelman is the second South African to win the Masters. The last South African to win the Masters was the legendary Gary Player in 1978.

















Player was a great inspiration to Immelman and was said to have left a message on Immelman's voice mail during the tournament saying "I know you're going to win." He was right.

Gary Player compared Trevor Immelman's swing to that of the great Ben Hogan.


And yes, I was going for Tiger.

Firstly, why do they think I can understand French? I listened to two of the French Pod Classes and I can talk in a rudimentary way about the weather and what day it is. However no matter how little French I have actually learned, ain't no way I'm "Cliquezing icire" (sic).


A rough translation comes out like this:

It seems that French spammers spell just as badly as the English ones.

Also, I received this on the 9th of April 2008. Why give me a deadline of March 17? I mean, I'm not trying to help them here, I just thought a bit more work went into these messages.

Perhaps they need to work on their comprhention.

The Sedona method is a tool that shows people how to master the law of attraction, as discussed in "The Secret", while letting go of ego in the process. The Sedona Method is said to be a bridge of sorts, where A New Earth meets The Secret. The Sedona method brings a practical application to the work of Eckhart Tolle in his work on "A New Earth: Awakening To Your Life's Purpose". The section on bridging the gap between A New Earth and The Secret explains how the Sedona Method works to practically and immediately let go of what is termed "ego" or "the pain body", which causes suffering to individuals and the others surrounding them. The section on "A New Earth of Presence Awareness" discusses how the Sedona Method takes you through the four basic ways of letting go and the fifth way of releasing. You can also find a section on "The Secret Behind the Secret". Many people are aware of the "Law of Attraction", however this section touches on the lesser known "Law of Surrender" and "The Law of Letting Go". The Sedona Method is holding retreats which have been running for some years. You can listen to excerpts of the 2005, 2006 and 2007 retreats on the site. The site is also giving away a free CD and DVD and a bonus mp3 download, which can be found on the free signup page.
