Mark Webber was on the receiving of the worst kind of result yesterday when he crashed out of a soggy Grand Prix in South Korea.
Raced in appalling conditions on a track with a surface laid barely 10 days before the race, the field tailed the pace car for what seemed like hours to justify Bernie's deal to race in monsoon season. Fully half the field left the track, spinning and crashing their way out of the event.
Once again Fernando Alonso showed why he is the class of this field. He took the race by the throat and drove with controlled aggression to register his fifth win of the season, and a worthy and convincing win it was. Lewis Hamilton chased hard all the way but could not close the gap and backed off at the end to conserve his car for second place.
I watched an Italian television channel online, from my computer terminal in Australia. Can't speak Italian mind you, try as I might, keeping pace with the pro's was beyond me. But it was fun listening in and matching the commentary to the action.
It did make me think what an incredible age we live in too. In fact, as I write this, I am listening to a lovely song - Crying - by female duo Mad Violet playing on my You tube channel, typing on a blog that is capable of spanning the globe in seconds, having just described watching a Formula One race from Korea - Live - broadcast from Italy. All acheived in HD colour, in micro second synchronicity. Fantastic.
As a youngster growing up in the sixties I never dreamed of such possibilities. Black and white TV, cranky phone systems, transistor radio's just overtaking valves, 45 rpm records, not a cell phone in sight. Yet they are common place now. As an early user of mobile phone technology I was subject to some unusual taunts, but where would we be now without them? Who doesn't have one, or two? and what will the future hold for technological improvements? I can't give away my not so old box tv, everyone has one or more LCD/LED/Plasma giant wall mounted surround sound entertainment systems now. All driven by the world's access to the world wide web via the ubiquitous computer. Haven't we all got one of them now?
I firmly believe I- Commerce will explode as people take advantage of the ease of purchasing everything they need on line and having it delivered to their door. Currently the delay is about a day, or at times, two, but just wait until the demand increases to drive that back to a day, then hours, then an hour. Traditional industries will perish and new entrepreneurs will emerge on the back of the new technologies. Jobs will disolve and I-Commerce will emerge as a major source of income for those quick enough to get in at this early stage.
A friend of mine is busy on a nightly basis chasing women on line, who are just as busy chasing back. You can talk on line for free with Skype and other providers allowing free, instant calling around the world. Musicians are now releasing straight to the web and movies are online in hours, sounding the death knell of the old Video store.
This Internet driven change in our lives see the old technology of Newspapers dying, struggling under the weight of their own infrastructure, in much the same way as some of the major shopping chains and supermarkets are buckling and will undoubtedly similarly decline in the future. The current leaders are blissfully, or scornfully, unaware and unmoved by the I-Commerce revolution that is eroding their very foundations. Sure they all have a web site, but they are only paying lip service to the possibilites.
The Information age is here, Rupert Murdoch has accepted it at last but has been woefully slow to close the gates before the horses have bolted.Bernie Ecclestone, the F1 supremo, spotted the possibilites way back in the 90's but was years ahead of the technology available at the time. He has struggled to claw back the ground lost ever since abandoning the project after a two year trial. The Internet age is still in it's infancy, can you see where this may end up? Wow, are we in for a ride and a half.
If you would like to know about a fantastic, innovative and very lucrative I-Commerce income generating opportunity I recently became involved with, then give me a call. It will be the best thing you do for yourself today.

Inspiration .v. Perspiration
I have been working away at my new income generating project for about three weeks now and have just completed phase 1 of the learning (or Apprenticeship) component.
I have been learning how to work with the business system that is in place for this very exciting opportunity and I have learnt more than I imagined. You must be teachable and want to learn, and be prepared to make changes to your lifestyle for the next 2-5 yr period in order to succeed. It requires a minimal financial input - I defy you to show me any other business you can purchase for between $80.00 and $500.00 with the back up and system that is in place here.
This business has been around longer than most others, 51 years in fact. It has paid out over $32 Billion dollars in bonuses to business owners in that time, and has created more millionaires than any other company except Microsoft.
I can tell you, I intend to make the most of this opportunity. I am absolutely prepared to change my lifestyle, to devote 15 hours per week over and above what I am doing now to acheive my goals. And I will acheive those goals within the 5 year time frame, in fact, my coaches are quite clear that the 2-5 yr timeline is nothing more than a guide. You - I - can reap the benefit of the huge system (absolutely tried and tested) in a far shorter time fram, but it will take more effort - and therefore time. But achieve it I will.
Are you prepared to make a similar commitment? If you are then I want to hear from you. I am looking for a small number of very determined, goal oriented people to join my team - and become business owners in their own right. If you think any of what I have stated above appeals to you, then call me and I will explain further what this system and business opportunity is all about. Take note: I am not offering you a job, this is an income generating opportunity but I will not be your boss as you will be working on and running your own business, with my support and that of the business owners and the corporation that developed the system you will also train with.
A pertinent quote I came across in the superb Robert Kiyosaki book "Cashflow Quadrant" highlights the benefit of this busines system very well when he uses this analogy:
"Can you personally make a better Hamburger than McDonald's?" Of course you can, so can I and nearly every other person drawing breath. BUT, and this is the crux of the matter..."Can you personally build a better business system than McDonald's?". 30,000 plus McDonald's franchise stores world wide tell me that neither you nor I will acheive that without a commitment beyond the years I have left. Whereas, with my opportunity, the system of training, support, and business infrastructure is all there and provided by the corporation at virtually no cost.
Personally, I want more time to pursue my interests - travel, investment, family - than my current lifestyle affords. I need to have a greater level of financial independance to achieve that and I need to learn more. I have attended some fantastic, inspirational meetings with likeminded business owners and read some of the worlds best and most inspirational authors since this kicked off. Mind you I have always had time to read these books, but now I am also surrounded by inspirational, motivated people with similar goals and energy. Inspiration beats perspiration every time in my opinion. This is a huge bonus for me, I have not been exposed to this type of environment before and I love it.
I am hugely excited, I can see the way out of the job/wage/47 year work treadmill with nothing more than a little effort and perseverance on my part. If you want to learn how this can do the same for you, get in touch.
Yours in Success

Training Courses - Security - Investigations - First Aid
I have spent the past few weeks working on various Security training courses from my Training facility and Investigations Office in Maryborough. I have vacancies for courses in early to mid November, then late November and into December. Contact me for details.
Presently, the Federal government are funding - courtesy of you, the long suffering taxpayer - courses for those wishing to gain employment in the Industry. If you wish to gain access to this funding, you must be unemployed, have no Criminal convictions within the past 10 years and be registered with a JSA such as Sarina Russo, Impact, Epic or Mission Australia.
I can then place you on one of my courses, run under the National Registered Training Organisation (RTO) sanctioned Morrissey Training. Morrissey Group work in concert with DRM GROUP to provide training for those wishing to re-train, re-certify or upskill and they have offices throughout the eastern seaboard of Queensland. My office is one of those, with my Investigation business operating alongside the training I provide for Morrissey.
Our area of coverage is the Wide Bay Burnett region, reaching from Gympie in the south, through Tiaro, Maryborough, Hervey Bay and north to Bundaberg.
Courses provided by this office include Security, Investigations, Baton & Handcuff certification, Generic Mine Inductions, Drug & Alcohol screening, Responsible service of Alcohol (RSA), Bodyguard, and the modules required if you wish to move into Dog Handling in the Security arena. I have been working with one of the best, if not the best Dog Handler I have met in my years in this field - so if you are considering this aspect give me a call and I will point you in the right direction.
Security is a major growth industry with opportunities present in a wide range of disciplines for those interested. If finding a job is a priority for you, or a new, interesting career is your primary focus, leave your contact details and I will contact you.

A win is a Win...
Thankfully there was a result in the AFL Grand Final on the weekend, all the crying and whining going on because the teams had the temerity to draw the week before was getting to much to bear. Photos of men and women crying, little boys sobbing, bloody hell what a bunch of pansies. It was a draw, get over it, you got another Grand Final out of the deal and the losers on the second occasion obviously weren't up to it as they were roundly and comprehensively, thrashed! Then I see a photo in the paper of Eddie McGuire bawling his eyes out. Must be something in the water down in Victoria. Pathetic.
My boyhoood local hero's in the NZ national league (Football in it's correct and proper sense - the round ball code) fought out three replays back in the seventies. With each draw attention turned to the game and people stood in amazement, cheering at the closeness of the competition.
Sure, it helped that my team won the day in the end and a huge crowd turned out at the airport to welcome home the victors. Not bad for a Rugby mad country. Not a teary eye to be seen, no grumbles, just amazement at the tough, unforgiving nature of the competition. Fantastic.
Then there was the NRL and the bawling going on all over the paddock after the final whistle had sounded. I thought I must have the wrong channel, but no. and it didn't matter which team you looked at, winners or losers. Must be something in the water down in NSW. Pathetic.
Oh well another squashed ball season over, some magnificent football played throughout by all and sundry, and now for the real footy, the English premier League. Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-0 this morning and increased their lead over new rival Manchester City to 4 points, another point back to cross city Mancunian's United and the rest tagging along. Way too early to tell how it will shape up but Chelsea are on form early and that bodes well for those of us who follow in the footsteps of the best team in the league currently.
I am really holding my breath for Mark Webber too, fighting alone in a title stoush on the other side of the planet, albeit with a large team behind him. Mark stands poised to win the ultimate title in Motorsport, the Formula One Driver's crown, something not acheived by an Aussie since 1980 when Alan Jones won the title driving for Williams. That was a great year, a fantastic achievment and something I hope can be replicated by Mark over the next few weeks. He has driven brilliantly all year, he has shown all nay sayer's that he has the talent and the mental toughness to keep all at bay, and rise to the very top of the rankings. He will be a very deserving champion if he can continue on without his bumptious little German team mate trying to drive him off the road, or stealing updated body parts from his car!
So plenty to keep me interested in the weeks ahead, although the F1 has always taken priority and keeps me on the edge of my seat race after race. By that time the EPL will be well under way as well...yahoo.

The person who says that a thing cannot be done should not be interrupting the person who is doing it.
I am now one week into the learning phase of my new business venture - an MLM - enterprise and I am becoming increasingly excited and motivated at the prospect of success. I am backed by one of the biggest and most succesful MLM operations on the planet and I am working and under the supervision of a hard working and inspirational coach.
I have been watching and listening intently to my coach for the past two weeks now as he slowly goes about the business of teaching me the business. I am self employed but within a large organisation that operates on support and motivation. I have always loved reading personal development and motivational material from masters of the genre like Robert Kioyosaki, Jack Canfield and Bob Proctor, John DeMartini and John Kehoe, try reading some of their many titles and you will too will discover The Secret that will change your life forever.
It is imperative to have a dream, a goal, call it what you will, but without it you are not going to find the motivation to succeed. I will not elucidate my goals here just yet, they will come with progress and I intend to keep you appraised of the progress I, and my team make on this journey together.
I have found, very quickly, the common sense logic of multiple incomes streams, and the manner in which as school children we are inculcated into an educational system that is designed to keep us in menial work - jobs- from which very few, only about 5% of us in fact, attain any great wealth.
95% of us struggle from the time we leave school until the day we die.
As the old saying goes "If you keep doing what you are doing, then you will keep getting what you have got"! Therefore, I have taken the step to move radically out of my comfort zone and do it differently. Hence the MLM approach to a business model. The old business model is not working well, or fast enough, so I have got to stop doing what I am doing and change in order to get what I want. Individuals who succeed will need to be masters of change in the years ahead. Fail to change and you will not succeed.
Albert Einstein said "The significant problems we face in life cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them." And so I need to change...or die. We, you and I need to change our way of thinking. Are you happy with your lot? Would you be prepared to work 10 15 hours a week over and above your present (and temporary) position to acheive a better lifestyle? I am and I will. Are you prepared to work for yourself, are you prepared to overcome the criticism of doomsayers and those that have not done?
One of my favourite quotations is and old chinese proverb: The person who says that a thing cannot be done should not be interrupting the person who is doing it.
It takes the formation of a dream, the application of hard work, the knowledge of those who have done it and the desire to overcome the hurdles you may face. Why not give me a call to discuss my journey and how I think it can help you to the financial freedom you want, the dream you hold or the desire you have that remains unfulfilled.

How Not to Win Friends & Influence People - Zac !
I received a quite amazing phone call yesterday morning from a bloke calling himself Zac and purporting to represent the company - amazingwebmall.com - from whom I had purchased a web site recently.
Now I have been very active in this arena over the past two weeks as I continue my search for income making opportunites and other personal development matters so I asked him to explain which site he was refering to. Zac, being the over worked individual that he is, immediately took a defensive stance and demanded to know how many web sites I had signed up to in the past few days?
Now apart from that being no business of his, and apart from the fact that he is a paid employee with a mission to win sales not ostracise clients with arguement and vitriol, Zac then entered into a heated argument with me over his more important reason for breathing than mine. I hung up on him. I did not solicit the call nor do I ordinarily accept calls from unlisted numbers - this being an exception for reasons I cannot explain.
This pleb had engaged me in an unsavoury argument within 15 seconds of my answering the call. He called me back and began to berate me about my bad form for hanging up on him and so on. I told him I did not wish to speak to him that I was busy and for him to call back later. He then sneeringly informed me that he has thousand's of other people to call and that he needed to confirm a convenient time as he was my Case Manager. Well at least he thought he was.
I did not take to the suggestion that I was only 1 of thousand's that he had to deal with and rang off.
Can you see from my description of the above conversation why I will have nothing to do with Zac or amazingwebmall.com ever again?
He called again this morning and I quickly, politely, informed him that I did not wish to deal with him, at which he told me "I don't want to deal with the likes of you either, so I am deactivating your account". I asked to speak to his supervisor and he demanded to know why, when I told him that I didn't like his attitude he launched into another attack on his "customer". I again asked to speak with his supervisor and he refused, instead hanging up on me.
Isn't that wonderful. Zac, I am working on speaking to your supervisor anyway so it might pay to start looking in the job's vacant columns of the local newspaper, I'm sure someone will read them to you.
So, amazingwebmall.com, thank you for allowing me to see the calibre of your staff and to deactivate my account before something really upsetting got in the way of Zac's day. I will not return to your portal with my money again so that is another unexpected bonus from my time talking with Zac. He also demonstrated the worst sales management technique I can imagine and to be free of any involvement with that I also thank you amazingwebmall.com.
I invite you to post some idea's about your sales techniques. Hopefully they are diametrically oppossed to our overworked, ungrateful hero of this tale, Zac.
I doesn't take much to Think long and Proser, but it is a task beyong my former Case Manager I fear.

My Way 2 Success
My Way? Education, focus, commitment, a goal and desire.And your ability to override all doomsayers that stand in your way.
As the old Chines proverb goes "The person who says that a thing cannot be done should not be interrupting the person doing it".
Be prepared to give up who you are for who you can become!
Change your focus from the also ran, the mundane to the great, the exceptional and witness what happens.
Think Long & Prosper.

Cert IV Trainer and Assessor Courses
In my previous blog I talked about self improvement and challenging yourself to not only increase you income but to acheive a more fulfilling life in general.
One of the easiest way's you could manage this is to train, and qualify, as a Workplace Trainer and Assessor, whereby you pass on your skills and knowledge to younger or less experienced staff in your workplace. I have found it to be a rewarding career change that has little if any downside. In particular I can cite my increased awareness of First Aid issues that benefit everybody in society. It is comforting to know that in any situation requiring First Aid I will be able to act instinctively, without the fear of not knowing what to do, or questioning if what I am doing is correct. In training this discipline I have been so regularly exposed to the lessons that I can recite the required response and treatment with ease. This will stand me in good stead when I need to call on the knowledge for real.
In a Security setting I have maintained close and frequent contact with a diverse range of Industry employers and workers that you might ordinarily not expect to be dealing with. As a result, I can confidently impart the latest developments to my students safe in knowledge that they will benefit from my current awareness. I am far more aware of the local Security scene and it's issues and concerns than most would be just working away at their own job. I would not have this added beneficial knowledge or career without having first completed my Workplace Trainer and Assessor qualification. Admittedly my 30 + years in and around the Industry has allowed me to hit the ground running in a training sense, but then anyone with knowledge and confidence can make a worthwhile contribution to their company with the minimum of effort. Naturally, your income opportunites expand along with your knowledge and that is always a good thing.

One of the easiest way's you could manage this is to train, and qualify, as a Workplace Trainer and Assessor, whereby you pass on your skills and knowledge to younger or less experienced staff in your workplace. I have found it to be a rewarding career change that has little if any downside. In particular I can cite my increased awareness of First Aid issues that benefit everybody in society. It is comforting to know that in any situation requiring First Aid I will be able to act instinctively, without the fear of not knowing what to do, or questioning if what I am doing is correct. In training this discipline I have been so regularly exposed to the lessons that I can recite the required response and treatment with ease. This will stand me in good stead when I need to call on the knowledge for real.
In a Security setting I have maintained close and frequent contact with a diverse range of Industry employers and workers that you might ordinarily not expect to be dealing with. As a result, I can confidently impart the latest developments to my students safe in knowledge that they will benefit from my current awareness. I am far more aware of the local Security scene and it's issues and concerns than most would be just working away at their own job. I would not have this added beneficial knowledge or career without having first completed my Workplace Trainer and Assessor qualification. Admittedly my 30 + years in and around the Industry has allowed me to hit the ground running in a training sense, but then anyone with knowledge and confidence can make a worthwhile contribution to their company with the minimum of effort.

WEBBER Third in Singapore Thriller
Australia's Mark Webber fought back from a difficult qualifying 5th on the grid, an early pit stop which saw him racing on slower 'hard' compound tyres and a coming together with Championship rival Lewi Hamilton which saw the latter retire from the race for the second Grand Prix in succession.
Webber actually increased his lead in the World driver's championship but all his main rivals, Hamilton excepted, also scored valuable points in the race for the Formula One Driver's title with team mate Sebastian Vettel chasing Alonso to the flag to finish on the podium in second place, Red Bull Renault have increased their Constructors championship lead as well and can be pretty happy with the turn of events.
Webber qualified poorly, by his standards this year at least, and was swamped by challengers in the early part of the race. Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso drove from Pole position into the lead at the first corner and showed in his usual flawless drive that he remains a major threat to Webber's title aspirations. Webber was forced to pit early in an attempt to make up ground later in the race, and it was this tactic that allowed him to finish on the podium. His drive was measured and determined and shows yet again that he has matured into a true World Championship contender. He held off a hard charging McLaren driven by reigning World Champion Jensen Button in the latter stages of the race as his tyres went away while Button's tyres were in better shape from a later pit stop strategy.
I think Webber can do it, I have said it for several years. His driving this year has been every inch a World Champion's consistency and pace and he will thoroughly deserve to lift the title. But he has the hounds snapping and snarling at his heels - in the form of Alonso, Vettel, Hamilton and Button, in what is turning into the most exciting and closely fought title chase in decades. I say it every year, and this year is no different, but the F1 championship exceeds expectations every season, year after year, in the quality of the racing, the drama and the talent behind the steering wheel. I can't recall a time - in the 30 plus years I have been following F1 when so many talented driver's stood to win the title. I can't recall when there were so many greats vying with each other, although the Lauda, Prost, Mansell, Senna, Piquet & Rosberg era of the 80's would probably be a worthy challenger for this mantle.
Go Mark, I am cheering you all the way, it seems odd to be holding my breath when my natural and lifelong support for McLaren gives way to relief when you manage to finish ahead of one or either.

Constantly Seeking New Opportunities???
I hope you are. I know I am. I was employed in a full time role that was grinding me down, I'll bet you know the feeling.
While I was working hard for someone else I decided to do something about that and began to explore the opportunities self employment presented, as a Private Investigator, a Commercial Agent and anything else that presented the right, positive attitude to allow me to continue to work for myself. I am a devotee of self improvement in all areas and I get a real charge from expanding my knowledge and opportunities in this area of my life.
For instance, since leaving the drudgery of paid employment, I am now firmly established as the major Security/Private Investigations Trainer in the Wide Bay Burnett Region, working as I do in conjunction with the Premier RTO - Morrissey Group - which in turn has had a flow on effect with business leads and contact with other business owners with whom I can network and build inspirational and positive relationships that benefit both of us.
I have established my Private Investigation business in the region which has become a leading provider of Investigation services from Gympie in the south to Rockhampton in the north and all points west.
Self employment has proven to be hugley educational and uplifting in areas I never thought possible. I am now dealing with people on a professional and social level that before I was subservient to as an employee. I have others asking me for advice that previously would never have considered doing so and it has been very rewarding to be able to help where in previous times it was not even an option.
Yes I am working hard, but I am working for myself and gain far more than a wage from the hours I put in.
I recently explored a new opportunity - well not so new really - but a long established business that has moved with the times and the 21st Century into Internet marketing and On Line sales. This explosive growth area of retailing will see the DRM GROUP establish itself in this area as a leading marketer of top quality products available to you online and delivered to your door overnight. World leading brands that sell themselves and inspire others to get involved in this area of retailing without the overheads, it is an exciting time for DRM GROUP and I am yet again inspired and further charged with adrenalin to succeed. You can do it too you know. You are only limited by your own thoughts, the business I am talking about is available to you for next to no cost, there are no overheads and is entirely homebased with no need to purchase inventory or deliver to your client base. I can only see it as a win win for DRMGROUP.
This huge new opportunity, in concert with other initiatives I will discuss in the coming weeks leave me fully charged and on a knife edge of anticipation to succeed. I have acheived all of this from a standing start, having become sick of the daily grind working for a wage. I made the decision to go out alone and learn what it takes to make a go of it in my own business. I am only too happy to share my new found knowledge if you want to call and ask, feel free to do so, no obligations.
You cannot expect to change unless you make a decision and act on it. If you want to stay where you are now just keep doing what you are doing, I'm more than happy to step in and take the opportunity to continue learning and building my own success. But I am also more than happy to share my knowledge with you if you want to join in and come along for the ride, simply give me a call and I will fill you in on the secret...

Infidelity, Insecurity and Private Investigations
It's a strange old world this one we inhabit. I started out dreading having to conduct infidelity Investigations, you know the sort...husband has been away a lot on business lately and hardly talks anymore, the wife is whispering into the phone and hangs up when you appear suddenly. Late at the office, unexplained spur of the moment absences. Something is going on and you have no idea what. He's up to something, she's hiding something and you don't have a clue where to turn.
That's where I can help. It may not be the result you wanted to hear but it may at least confirm your fears, or as often happens too, confirm that nothing is actually happening.
However, you cannot ignore the tell tale signs, if there's smoke, then usually there is fire.
Lately DRMGROUP Investigators have been contracted to conduct covert surveillance in a number of situations that have rekindled my fascination for the work. I have seen the bad side of people too often, but in recent times a couple of Investigations have confirmed that the partner of our client is not misbehaving, they are not having an extra marital affair, they are in fact doing exactly what they say they are doing.
Now I'm not going to give away any trade secrets and tell you how we confirm such matters, but it has been a wonderful thing to be able to tell a client that their husband has not been seeing another woman, or man, as was the case with one recent Investigation my group completed.
Infidelity has stepped up in the number of jobs we have been asked to handle recently, I have no explanation why this occurs but it does seem to be cyclical in nature. Wives feeling trapped in a loveless marriage, left at home running the house hold and caring for the children who rarely get to see their father because he is always "working late". Well recently, in four of the past 6 cases we have worked on, that has been precisely what has been happening.
We have located missing people with great success, not always the case in this area as people who do not want to be found make life difficult for people on their trail. But again, of late, DRM GROUP has acheived very pleasing results in this aspect of the Investigations world as well.
Hervey Bay and Maryborough, all the way up to Bundaberg and even Rockhampton, if we don't have an employee who can take the case on then we will tap into the network of Investigators who have helped us in the past and helped us acheive such great results for the clients involved.
We recently cracked a missing person's case and an Infidelity matter - unfortunately for the client, this one turned out poorly for her - down on the Sunshine Coast.
Covert surveillance generally garners the best evidence for the matter at hand, the use of covert camera's and good old fashioned leg work, soupled with years of experience is working these issues, has allowed us to acheive results I am proud to put my name to, and for that I have a team of dedicated and hard working agents to put on the cases we have contracted for.
If you have any concerns relating to a possible Infidelity matter, would like some advice about a Security issue at home or the office and would like confirmation one way or the other of yur suspicions, then I can confidently state that DRM GROUP can acheive a result for you.
Call and discuss any issue you may have, I am happy to consult with you free of charge and if I think there is nothing to be concerned about, then I stand up and tell you that, I will not take your money under false pretences. I stand behind each and every one of my team, they must meet the demanding standards I demand of them and they do so with great professionalism and integrity.

Training Available in Maryborough
DRMGROUP in association with Morrissey Training now offer several courses in the Hervey Bay/Maryborough and outlying regions.
Although based around Security work, there is still enough to keep you interested and improving your employability. For instance the short one day RSA (Responsible Service of Alcohol) will set you up for a job in Hospitality.
Drug & Alcohol Screening is more specialised but it is a required function of Security at the mine sites around the country.
Morrissey Training is now able to offer specialised and highly valued Dog Training, either for Security or for general ownership. Utilising the skills of a veteran Dog Handler and trainer we can get you to the required level to take a Dog out on patrol with you if you so desired.
First Aid is of course something we should all be thinking of training in but only about 20% of the population bother. A short course with us will have you primed to help in such circumstances and add's to your employability.
For those already in the Security Industry we offer Baton and Handcuff training in a comprehensive 1 Day format. This allows you to carry either or both while working alone, but not in a Nite club setting.
Those considering employment on Mine sites will need to complete the Generic Mine Induction (Surface) before applying ofr work and the Drug and Alcohol Screening we offer will put you at the front of the queue.
So if you are looking for training to get into the workforce, check the Morrissey Training web site or simply call me to discuss what we can qualify you in.

Back on Track...Investigations and Training...
DRM GROUP is back on track and posting information after a very busy few months dedicated to Security training and more importantly, for this enterprise, Investigations.
There was a deep lull in the Investigation work, you may have picked up on that if you read some of my earlier blogs, but things now seem to have returned to somewhere near normal.
Investigation work has increased markedly in private surveillance but has still to return to the levels of last year in the Insurance sector. Infidelity investigations have figured prominently in my case load of the past three months and is a constant source of amazement to me, but I enjoy the chase and providing what I feel is a superior service to my clients is an added enticement, after all I am in business for myself and I intend to remain that way, there is nothing like it.
DRM GROUP is fully resourced to address your Investigation requirements and we have a team of enthusiastic and dedicated Investigators to handle your enquiries, if you would like further information then
either call me or drop me an e-mail, there is a contact page on this site, look to the header on this page for directions.

McLaren 1-2, Webber third in Turkey
Another great qualifying performance by Aussie driver Mark Webber put him on pole for the Turkish Grand Prix raced last night.In sweltering temperatures the Red Bull driver led into the first corner hotly pursued by his young team mate Sebastian Vettel and the McLaren of Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton had started from second on the grid and displayed a pace the McLaren had been lacking in previous races as the pair hung on to the rear wing of Webber.
The race was run at high speed, causing later fuel consumption concerns for the McLaren team with Webber unable to draw away from his pursuers. However, he dragged them with him and as the field entered lap 41 the trio had been joined by McLaren driver and defending World Champion Jenson Button.
Unfortunately for Webber, this lap was the one the race will be remembered for. Vettel pulled alongside Webber as they headed down hill into a left hander when his car appeared to turn slightly to the right. Ordinarily no problem, only that is where Webber was and the pair collided in spectacular fashion. Vettel spun into retirement with a destroyed right rear tyre while Webber was forced onto the run off area and in the chaos Hamilton and Button both shot through carnage to take the top two positions.
Replays showed Vettel clearly in the wrong and in committing the cardinal sin of crashing into your team mate, he has managed to turn his season into a nightmare. Out qualified by Webber now 4 -3 with Webber also leading the race wins stat's Vettel must be feeling the pressure to have tried such a rash manouvre, although to fair it is racing and he did see an opportunity to take the lead.
The third place for Webber behind the two McLaren's at least leaves him with an increased lead in the overall driver standings. Hamilton drove a beautiful race but he and Button almost repeated the Red Bull situation in dicing side by side through a series of four or five corners where the lead changed twice, breathtaking stuff to watch. After nearly colliding Button suddenly dropped away and didn't challenge again, no doubt team order's telling them to calm down. Post race press conference answers spoke of fuel concerns but that was patently not the issue or the reason for Button's sudden loss of pace.
A fascinating race, extremely fast, exciting yet bloody frustrating to see Mark knocked out of a third straight Grand Prix win by his own team mate, but then that is F1. Love it or hate it, and I love it.
Webber maintains momentum into the next round in Canada, one of my favourite tracks and returns there after a 2 year lay off with a nice, although small, lead in the driver's world title race.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS Part 2...
Portsmouth proved more resolute than Chelsea would have liked but that only added tension that saw me holding my breath and tied up in knots for the last three or four minutes.
That said, Chelsea dominated all over the park and but for the goal post and crossbar would have been 5 0 up at half time.
Once again the goal scoring machine that is Didier Drogba put the enemy to the sword with a beautifully placed free kick hard on the heels of a missed penalty attempt by Portsmouth.Magnificent, Fantastic, I can hardly believe it has come true but it has. Well done lads. I can die a happy man.

Mark Webber wins Monaco Grand Prix
As if his win last weekend in Spain was not enough, Mark Webber demonstrated to his competitor's in the Formula 1 World Championship that his will be a hard man to beat to the title with a simply stunning drive to win at the tight, twist, Monaco street circuit and claim his fourth Grand Prix win.This is the race that every one, driver, team owner, mechanic's and sponsor's want to win. Held in the Money rich tax haven in the South of France, it is the most glamourous race of the year with the rich and richer flooding in to be seen and associated with.
Mark qualified on pole to back up his performance in Spain and did so with absolute command. I have watched this race for 28yrs live on TV and a drive of such authority and superiority has been very rare at this most demanding of circuits. His win now puts him top of the table, equal on points with his team mate who must by now be feeling a little pressure to perform, having been annihilated in all facet's of the past two Grand Prix.
Mark took the lead from the start and simply drove away, but had to endure four safety car periods which, each time, allowed his opposition to close up behind him. Each time he again just drove away from them all with a World Champion's assurance and skill. Stunning stuff.
The race itself was a beauty in all respects, the location was, as ever, stunning and the result was fantastic for Red Bull and Webber personally. After so much bad luck, he seems to have found a level of confidence that is simply umatched by the rest of the field.Vettel followed Mark across the finish line after the field was bunched up behind the safety car following a rather spectacular pile up involving two tail ender's. Michael Schumacher, ever on the look out for an opportunity, shot down the inside of Fernando Alonso's Ferrari as they entered the final corner after being released from the safety car, took line honours in fifth but was then penalised 20 second's dropping him to 12th place and no points for breaching the rules. It was a fine call and move on his part but the rules do not allow overtaking on the final lap in this circumstance.
Alonso had driven magnificently, as he normally does, from the pit lane to work his way through almost the entire field. Admittedly the safety car periods worked in his favour, but it was a fine effort all the same.
A great race, an even better drive by Webber to win it and signal his contention for the title. Look out if if this golden run continues. Well done Mark.http://www.drmgroup.com.au/

Webber on Pole at Monaco
Mark Webber has continued a great run of form as he claimed the pole position for the Monaco Grand Prix to be run tonight.
He outclassed his young team mate again to claim his third pole of the season to equal his team mate and ensure the Red Bull has taken every pole position this year. Rather than the slight edge of 1 tenth of a second over his team mate last weekend, this time around he went a full 4 tenths quicker than Vettel who only managed third on the grid. Renault driver Robert Kubica drove quickly to gain the second front row spot but Webber should have him covered in the run up to the first corner. With the tight twist nature of the Monaco street circuit not favouring overtaking, let's hope Mark then simply pulls away from the field as he did last week in Spain.
Michael Schumacher was pipped by his team mate but by only hundreths of a second and is on the same row of the Grid. Significantly, Fernando Alonso crashed his Ferrari in practice and was unable to run thereby ensuring he starts from the back of the grid. His race is over before it starts and it will dent his championship challenge for a while to come, although he is a class act and can never be ruled out of the picture.
So, a great start to the weekend, Mark Webber on Pole at my outright favourite race of the year and looking to win and take over the lead in the championship, and Chelsea won the FA Cup to take their first ever double - the League title and the Cup in the same season. Truly awesome.

Red Bull Wings over Rio...
Britain took the remaining podium positions with Nigel Lamb second and current series leader, and defending champion, Paul Bonhomme third.
Bonhomme's championship lead was cut to three points with Arch, the 2008 Series champion back a further point. The general consensus from the pilot's seems to be that the officials made the right call but the official Red Bull Air Race site reports the poms Bonhomme and Lamb as being "miffed" at the outcome.
Australia's Matt Hall did manage to score a fourth place out of the situation though so that was great news. That means he is still well in the hunt for the title and seems to be flying really well after his fantastic second in the last leg at Perth. Why not follow him on Facebook. And what about the spectacular photo below, from his facebook site? Go Matt.

Webber Wins in Spain
Following a dominant qualifying session where he was a tenth of a second (that's get out and walk in F1 terms) quicker than his team mate, Australia's Mark Webber went on to take Pole, Fastest lap of the race and his third win in what was a masterful display of race driving.
He made sure his very quick and more fancied team mate did not get down the inside into the first corner, as happened the last time he was on pole two races ago, and from there simply drove away from the rest of the field.
This win was so dominant that it shows he is the complete package. I already knew he was very quick, a string of fastest laps, poles and great drives had convinced me of that, however there was almost a Chris Amon like curse surrounding him. No longer.

I know he was in the hunt for the title right up until the last few races last season but there was always an element of doubt about his luck, skill, racecraft, tyres, engine, gearbox call it what you like.

What a weekend that will be if he can lift the winners trophy at the same time Chelsea lift the FA Cup.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS...1 Down, 1 to go...
We did it. In emphatic fashion, 8-0 to be precise and in front of their home fans at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea have regained the English Premier League title for the first time since 2006 and now face the most historic day in their 105 year old history. The chance to do the double.
By 2:30am on Sunday morning we will know if this champion side has acheived what only two other clubs have achieved in English football by winning the league and the FA Cup in the same season. They face a freshly relegated Portsmouth, wounded and undoubtedly fired up to salvage some pride from the season that saw them almost bankrupted, relegated to the Championship Division and forced to sell off several top players to avoid the first problem mentioned.
Chelsea on the other hand have fought and beaten the best the league has thrown at them, if at times stumbling, nevetheless they rallied and held on, in the process scoring more than a century of goals, something not acheived since the 1960's. Didier Drogba the goal scoring machine secured the Golden boot for the league's top scorer and Coach Carlo Ancellotti must feel justly proud of his first full season in charge.
I have waited for this sort of event for 40 years, since I first adopted the team in Blue as a 10 year old boy - inspired by a grainy black and white photo of striker Peter Osgood diving headlong to score off a sublime Charlie Cooke delivered pass in the 1970 FA Cup Final replay. Since that moment I have held my breath, hoped, waited, held my breath again, been inspired, dejected and proud all in the same game. My team dropped to the second division, struggled back into the top tier and themselves closely avoided bankruptcy. But that is all forgotten now in the lead up to the game tomorrow at Wembley Stadium, scene of several of Chelsea's triumphs in years gone.
Winning the league was a truly magnificent acheivement and one that took true grit and focus. United chased hard and never let up the pressure, we beat them by only one point at season's end, but we beat them in both league games and as you all know you must be able to beat every team if you want to claim the title. United couldn't do it. We could.
Congratulations to the boy's in Blue, what a year, what a result and by Sunday I hope to be savouring the highest acheivement by a Chelsea team, ever.
C'mon Chelsea, C'mon Chelsea...

Duplicitous Politicians, Taxes and the Irony of it all...
Where do I begin fellow sufferers of Political duplicity and ineptitude. Is it not ironical that on the very day we celebrate the worker - May Day (Red Russia calls it that too by the way...) we see the papers plastered with Rudd's intention to take more money from our pockets.
I bought a packet of cigarettes this morning - I know I don't need to hear it - and discovered that rather than Rudd's $2.00 ( no doubt to pay for his next trip overseas as a great leader) the price had gone up $4.00 plus loose change. His next brainwave and stamp of imperial greatness is to remove the colour and branding from the packets. Brilliant! Why didn't I think of that? I'll give up over night if I can't get my cigarettes in a lovely gold packet. What a bunch of *#@% idiot's. As one journo suggested in this morning's paper, why don't they put out alcohol in unbranded bottles if that is their argument. How much is the idiot going to cost us before the Tobacco giants win the legal battle. $50 million? OK doesn't matter it isn't his money and he will be in his second term by then and on his way to a lifelong pension when he loses the following election.
Why do we keep changing our "Leaders" - excuse me but I despise calling these thieves Leaders. Leaders they definitely are not. Read my lips Kevin, Tony, Anna et al. It's because we don't like their lack of integrity, honesty and their corrupt ways so we get rid of them for the next lot of suit wearing career criminals.
So along with the cigarette tax, the egregious, pernicious, disgraceful intention to hit the mining industry with a 40% tax on profits to fund his pipe dreams (there's irony for you!), comes the recommendation that we all pay 35% income tax. Excuse me? Haven't we been going in the other direction to give the taxpayer a break? And you tell me what have they done with the previous increases, taxes, levies, and the like? Where do you think those little tax breaks and incentives to breed come from? Who actually pays for them? Not Kevin 747, he and his bunch of degenrate thugs and thieves don't create a cent for this country, they leave that to us, then take it off us to buy your vote.
I'll bet you have forgotten Rudd's earlier life when he was known as John Howard - it's true...they are all the same, you know it, you've even said it a thousand times - that he spent $45,000 for a weekend stay in a hotel. Think about that for a moment. That's all the time the bastard took to spend more than the average yearly - YEARLY - wage on a jolly for the WEEKEND! Forgot that one didn't you. Or what about the actions of that vomitous WA treasurer Troy Boswell. How long would you last if you were caught sniffing the bosses secretary's chair, or having an affair with her? That the excretia lasted as long as he did amazes me. Hello, Earth to Perth, anyone home out there? Mind you compared to their former premier I suspose it is small doings. Then there is the meltdown that is Mark Latham, or the Tasmanian Lemon selling out to the forestry giants, the cowardly backstabbing in the Opposition as each looks to grab what they can before they self implode and disappear up their own anus horribilis, the woeful Health and education sectors that have been tampered with by these incompetents for so long no one can get a grip on the problem - certainly not Kevin 747. You have probably forgotten why they call him that though.
And now on this anniversary day he is proposing to steal more money from me to buy your vote. That is he is going to steal more money from each and every one of us to buy his own job back. How many times do you have to see this happen before you do something about it?
I heard that down the back... yes I have done something tangible, I joined a Political party whose premise is self destruction through downsizing and less government and I also subscribe to a philosphical movement and school of thought that actually demands you do just that...THINK. Sitting in the cool interior of your house escaping the ravaged society we are leaving this rabble to create and tamper with endlessly, is not a workable long term solution I am afraid.
Define Democracy for me? Now define Communism. Now Fascism. Compare the latter two with the former and what similarities do you see? And I won't take nothing, for an answer, that's what you are all guilty of anyway, kopping out.

Ayrton Senna Remembered
16 years ago on this same weekend the darkest day fell upon the world of Formula One Grand Prix racing.
It was during this weekend at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix that Three time World Champion Ayrton Senna crashed whilst leading, and was killed. Senna has frequently been voted the World's best ever Formula One driver, something that must rankle with Herr M. Schumacher, who has won 7 World titles, holds most records for the sport and until his recent return to F1 had finished on the podium an astonishing 65% of the time. It has not been lost on most however, that he did so without any of the competition facing Senna, and in fact Schumi only won the 1994 title after taking out his main competitor - Damon Hill - in that famous Australian Grand Prix incident.
Senna and I were born mere days apart, as a youngster I saw a photo of a Kart racer that remains in my memory to this day, it was of an equally young Ayrton Senna Da Silva (he later dropped the Da Silva) on the front row of the grid. There was nothing noteworthy of that picture but for reasons I cannot fathom it struck a chord with me and I instantly remembered his name when he began to gain recognition in Britain racing in the British Formula Three championship. From that time I monitored his progress through the pages of various Motor racing journals and it came as no surprise to me when he entered Formula One, albeit in a rather cumbersome and slow Toleman. Still, Senna managed to turn this mobile brick into something that made others shake their heads in disbelief with the result that he quickly moved into a competitive car with Colin Chapman's Lotus (above right) and gained the first of his 41 Grand Prix wins. 
Also, like Schumi, Senna held a ruthless streak and was widely condemned for taking out his former team mate, Alain Prost, in order to ensure he won the title at Suzuka in 1990 by aiming his car at Prost's and forgetting to brake. Although it should be remembered that Prost had driven him off the racetrack in a similar fashion the year before.
The death of Senna forced Formula 1 officials to immediately institute safety measures to increase driver safety. Brazil, his native country declared three days of national mourning, it took me a bit longer to get over it and I recall feeling total emotional depression on the day his death was confirmed. The night before I had watched the race live on TV, frustrated as the cars circulated slowly following an accident to allow clearance of the track. When this happens, tyre pressures drop and the cars take time to get back up to optimum race condition. With the race re-start Senna screamed away with Schumacher and the rest - as usual - in pursuit. From the perspective of Schumacher's car cam mounted on the airbox I saw Senna's Williams turn violently right at such speed many missed it. To casual observer's it was not immediately apparent that he had crashed as the tv coverage remained with the car cam and it appeared Schumacher may have passed Senna down the left hand side as they drove through a sweeping left hand bend in the track. As it happened I said to my friends watching with me that Senna had gone off which was almost immediately followed by a long head on shot of the cars and to the left of the screen you could just make out the debris of Senna's car flying through the air. The producers also saw this and zeroed in to begin recording the death of a legend.
Senna is still a hero that inspires me, he is still my favourite driver - and is the one I use as a benchmark for all the drivers who followed, a champion of millions and remains the most charismatic of champions. It speaks volumes that Schumacher has never attained the level of reverence or loyalty that Senna gathered in his short life.
He would have been 50 this year, but only saw 34 summers. Gone but never forgotten.

McLaren 1-2
McLaren driver and reigning World Champion Jenson Button ,seen here at left, with Team mate Lewis Hamilton, right, won the latest round of the F1 World Championship with another inspired drive at the Chinese Grand Prix.Hamilton, 2008 World Champion and previously more highly fancied 2010 championship contender, drove well to climb through the field and finish second. Hamilton has yet to record a win this season whilst Button, against most pundit's predictions has driven with assurance and the confidence gained from winning the title to overshadow his younger team mate.
Hamilton has displayed incredible speed throughout the previous races, driving through the field at the Malaysian Grand Prix but falling back in the final analysis due to pit stop strategy. Button's smooth style has seen him leaving the opposition in his wake and must be of some concern to Hamilton, who recently split from his Management team - headed by his father, and was the subject of a "hooning" incident in a sponsor supplied high spec Mercedes while in Melbourne for the Australian Grand Prix.
McLaren has not been the front runner of old during qualifying, however the race strategy employed along with the talent of their driver's has seen them emerge at this early stage as the likeliest title challenger to the Red Bull pairing of Sebastien Vettel and Mark Webber. Both Red Bull driver's suffered from race incidents to finish well down the field.Michael Schumacher's much vaunted return to the top echelon of motorsport continues to be frustrating and lacking results. I believe he will re-gather his reputation and show the younger drivers the skill and talent that provided him with 7 World Titles. He has, after all, won more races than his team mate has even started. That team mate, Nico Rosberg, has impressed me with his consistency and pace, and will I believe win a race or two this year. He only 10 points adrift of Button in second place on the drivers points table and it should be remembered that his Father, Keke, won his World title with only one win under his belt. Consistency throughout the season pays off.
Ferrari have struggled, Fernando Alonso (at left leading into the first corner at China) has driven with fire and pace, but events have not gone his way all that often, even though he is still well in contention in fourth place on the ladder. Felipe Massa his team mate is rumoured to be in danger of losing his race seat to the consistent Renault driver Robert Kubica, so will want to prove to his detractors that he is worthy of a place in the sports most famous team. The guy has driven superbly over the years and proven himself time and time again but as Ferrari demonstrated when they "dumped" Schumacher from his race seat, no one is safe in this sport.Another exciting season is taking shape, there are plenty of drivers in the frame to keep us watching and some great races to come. As usual once the season kicks into gear I can't wait for the next race.
Think Long and Prosper
