I have been a life long Liberal supporter. I was photographed with Malcolm Fraser when he was Prime Minister at the Dandenong town hall way back in 1970....something.
However the last few years of the Liberal Government, and particularly now with the loss of John Howard, I feel the party has lost it's way. It's embrace of nonsensical left wing causes instead of the outright rejection of them was beginning to bug me. Howard's promise to recognize that some Australians are more Australian than others left me pretty unimpressed. (For those overseas people, John Howard wanted to put an acknowledgment in the opening of our constitution recognizing that the Aboriginal people were here first....just which tribe of them was not clearly explained).
I too was not convinced by his conversion to the very noisy and very pointless climate change screamers, but that didn't bother me. What bothered me was that he was embracing another left wing ideal. Of course we need to take good care

Managing director Patima Jeerapaet said that the Port Authority of Thailand was looking for a consultant to draft a plan to develop 2,000 rai of Klong Toey Port land which is the size of a mini-city. This idea first surfaced around four years ago and his real estate agency is following up on the lead. ''It would definitely be mixed use _ housing, retail, hotels and offices _ 2,000 rai is huge.''

The fastest production motorcycle in the world at one point of time, the Hayabusa had since been overtaken by Kawasaki's ZX-14. The 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa appears all set to reclaim that position, with an increase of 41 cubic centimetres in engine capacity and an additional 20 horses, in terms of power. Incidentally, this is the first major revision of the bike, since its launch in 1999.
From page 114 of Hislop’s book (old. Ed.) and 125 (new ed.)In the early 1970s, Dr. John Hislop interviewed Sai Baba at length. These interviews were recorded and published in his book ‘Conversations with Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba’ (Sai Publications Trust), which became the authoritative popular source book for many about Sai Baba and his various teachings. It is packed with ‘incredible’ stories and bizarre statements by Sai Baba.
According to Indian scriptural beliefs in reincarnation, ‘merging’ (with the Infinite) is a process which never leads to rebirth. Also, rebirth of former human beings as animals is either rejected as impossible or considered a punishment for horrendous deeds in life. Two so blessed as to be close friends of an avatar could not have such a fate. Hislop makes clear: “Those childhood companions, they must have been quite special. Was their further destiny unusual also?”, to which Sai Baba replies “they merged in me&rd

If we are ready to experience bliss, it will be possible to win it here & now, and of course forever. When we are willing, know that for sure, it will be ours filled to our heart’s content. But then who would not want it? Certainly not me, and I know you too longed and waited for it too.It is said that there is no shortcut to the most sought after thing called success. Throughout our lives, we struggle and compete ceaselessly to procure slice of the cake. However, it seems that we never ever reach anywhere near to it. Every time, either we are short of it or by the quirk of fate, it even keeps on slipping out of our grip. The fact is, by our craving for more and more of it, we unknowingly chisel the monsters of insatiable wants in us and become its prisoner. Though, we mistake them for h
Remember this post? Well, for those of you who were asking, here is the update.
We eventually decided to call Grandpa up and beg him to take the plant back. When we got there, he was shocked at how fast the poor thing withered up. Did we keep it out of direct sunlight? Yes. Did we water every day? Yes. Not too much water, right? Nope.
He said he would take care of it but he wasn’t making any promises.
This was about a week ago. Last night we went to their house for dinner and of course the first thing Girlie Girl asked when we walked into the house was, “How’s my plant?”
Here it is. Looks like it’s getting a second chance at life. Thank you Grandpa!

In Latin, Renovatio means a renewal or renovation. This is an apt term to describe what I am attempting to do here at J David macor.com. In many ways, this site has lost its focus. In part, because I have had a lot on my plate recently (including an internship and moving apartments, both of which are still on going), but also, I feel, because of the layout of the site. The previous design that I had did not focus on the actual content. I wanted a theme that featured all of the content I could deliver; to that end, I chose the Lounge 2 Theme by Devlounge. Welcome to J David Macor.com Version 5.1!

That's right, yesterday I was reinstated as a Registered Investment Adviser, as was the firm. I decided to give it another go after a number of people asked if I could manage an account for them. I am pretty excited about it.This year will be different then last though. No subscription service (the blog will still be free, and hosted by blogger.com), no hourly advice rates, no fixed fees. Just plain old asset management. If you would like me to manage your account please email me at stockinsight1@yahoo.com. There is a minimum of $50,000, and you must have a Scottrade account. It's too difficult for me to deal with the other brokerages. If and when I am "worthy" of Ameritrade, I may use them too. To be "worthy" you need to have about $2 million under management. I am definitely not there yet.With this new development, there will be some small changes to what you see on the blog, and how I run my personal account. I think the changes will be more beneficial for the readers.1. I will b
Rome Reborn 1.0, Institute for advanced technology in the Humanities at the University of Virginia collaborated on a project to create a digital model of ancient Rome as it appears in late antiquity. The notional date of the mode is June 21, 310 AD.
The project is called “ Rome Reborn” in homage to the founding text of the field of Roman topography, De Roma instaurata of Flavio Biondo (1444-46).
The picture above shows the back steps of the Rostra in the Roman Forum with columns capped by statues of famous leaders. The Basilica Aemilia is in the background on the left. Back right the Basilica Julia, first built by Julius Caeser, which house law courts. Check it out.

Me: I'm going upstairs to have an athbay are you going to be okay on your own?Al: Yup.Me: You can give them some ilkmay or uicejay whichever.Al: Okay.Two relatively intelligent adults have resorted to speaking yes you guessed it Igpay Atinlay otherwise known as Pig Latin.Now we both speak French well enough that we could have a simple conversation but speaking Pig Latin enables us to still communicate in our Mother tongue and the little monsters cannot understand. The wrong word spoken in plain English could result in a temper tantrum of monstrous proportions.It's a wonderful language and works very well on kids and dogs. For example if I were to say "I'm going outside for a walk". This would cause the following:One small child jumping up and down saying "I coming, I coming, I coming!" and one rather large dog jumping up and down saying "Snort, snort, snort, sneeze!" Then I would say, "No Mommy is going out on her own, sorry sweetie" and to the dog "Go lay down, you're not coming".
I took a few days off work at the end of last week to do a bit of sea fishing but the weather once again had different ideas. A little wind we want but 45 mph gust onto the shore is a bit much by anyones standards. Fell walking was out of the question so where to go?As Martin Mere is only a few miles from our front door we decided to pay another visit to this fantastic bird reserve owned by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust.I've mentioned in previous posts that sometimes the birds are just too far away to see or photograph. Well on Friday we finally did it - we purchased a fieldscope (small telescope) from the very helpful Andy at the In Focus shop, it really does make a huge difference being able to set up many 'scopes' onto the same subject at the same time so that you can compare them. We ended up with an Opticron GS665 with a 20 - 40x magnification eyepiece, a tripod and a clamp for using it within a hide. After using it until the light failed we are both very pleased so far with
