36 year old man | Norcross, GA, USA | Seeking women 25-35 within 50 miles
525,600 minutes....How do you measure the life of a woman or a man? ...subscription expiring 7/8/11
True love is not the helpless desire to possess the cherished object of one's fervent affection; true love is the disciplined generosity we require of ourselves for the sake of another when we would rather be selfish. -Stephen Carter I'm looking for a woman who loves life and is seeking to find a man with whom she can share her life. I'm interested in exploring my life and adding to yours. I can be a romantic, but I can also be your typical male, lol. When we're together I will give you my attention and we can talk about anything. And when we're apart, I want us both to anticipate being together once more. I want to hold your hand and open doors for you. I want to make you feel special, but I'll need your help in learning all the ways you enjoy being pampered. I may not be the wealthiest man, but I will spoil you with my attention, love, understanding and humor if you allow me to. I believe in having personal time apart, because I am comfortable with myself, but it also allows us to continue sharing our experiences together...because we're not always having them together, lol. I want a partner who is as beautiful inside as out, because I want to admire her when she walks in the room and know that her heart is as big as her....well, anyway, LOL. I want to fantasize about her when she's not there and I want to admire her personality and strength. She needs to be open with herself and about herself, and I will do the same. She must be comfortable or wish to be comfortable with her sexuality because I feel that it is not something to keep hidden from one another. We must enjoy sharing all that matters to us. Just like all those great qualities of honesty, integrity, loyalty, compassion, courage, ambition are important to a relationship, so I also feel sexual compatibility is as essential as the chemistry that makes you anticipate the former. DO NOT misconstrue these statements to believe that I would pursue sexuality with a singular purpose. I seek a woman to share all of myself with and I am comfortable knowing that I am a sexual being as well as spiritual one. I simply believe that discussions on all things are important and apart of our common conversation. I am a Christian man and being as we will take our time in getting to know one another, I do expect that we will attempt to learn about all aspects of one another. That being said, here is a sampling of something I've written: WHAT I CAN'T SAY I want to call you beautiful! But that word is just a word without power, It is a song without voice, For though the truth is spoken, The tone, the range, the pitch are lacking And all that lends that inner meaning is missing. For the word is far too simplistic It doesn't have the complexity that I see in you, Would it be that I name thee stunning, But despite the dazzling imagery that comes to mind It is the musing of a man both dumb and blind. One who cannot recognize that pure radiance That I see in the depths of your being. The strength that I find in the pools of your eyes The brilliance that emanates outward from your smile. It cannot encapsulate the sensual fire That burns on the creamy expanse that is your skin. This flame carries both promise and danger. For to have you is to risk losing you, And to lose you risks despair. There is no fear in my heart or worry on my mind Because I can only grow stronger and shine. I can see you in my thoughts And racing through my mind, Intermingled with my desires And overflowing in my soul. I wish only to compliment your spirit, And become one part of a whole. I wish to share my knowledge of all things with a woman and hope that she will do the same and we'll each learn more together than apart. If you want to know more, then I look forward to hearing from you. I am a genuine man and will make a genuine friend. Nothing is lost when facing life with an open mind.

Utley reminded us just how special he is with his recent contract extension, a hometown discount if I ever there was. Utley could have tested free agency and would have received more money - that is a fact. Why would a player do that? Take less money on a team with aspirations for 90 losses? It might be because he doesn't want to move his family. It could be that his wife told him to stay. It could be that he loves the city of Philadelphia. Or it could be as simple as being too lazy to move. But I believe he signed this contract for us. The fans.

Halliehurst/ Stephen Benton Elkins - Randolph Co
Located on the campus of Davis & Elkins College in Elkins.
In 1889, Senator Stephen Benton Elkins chose the site for what was to become one of West Virginia's grandest homes. Set atop a steep hill, the site overlooked the newly-founded town that bore Elkins' name; the mansion itself was to be called Halliehurst in honor of Elkins' wife, Hallie Davis Elkins.
From the beginning, the 56-room, 23,000 square foot mansion was hailed as a showplace. It was patterned after a castle on the Rhine River that Mrs. Elkins admired while visiting Germany. New York architect Charles T. Mott created a sprawling three-story plan which featured exterior walls of lapped siding and cut shingles, a steep hipped roof, large towers and turrets, numerous dormers, and tall stone chimneys. Later, rambling porches were added to the front and north facades.
Interior features included rich oak paneling, and beaded trim work, and massive fireplaces framed in marble with hand-carved wooden mantelpieces. It became the setting for elaborate social occasions, political caucuses, and business gatherings which attracted the elite from the region, including President Harrison, Andrew Carnegie and James Cardinal Gibbons.
After her husband�s death, Hallie Elkins and her family continued to spend their summers at Halliehurst. In 1923, however, she offered to deed the entire Halliehurst estate over to another of the family's endeavors, Davis & Elkins College. Halliehurst then became the focal point of the new campus, and found new life as the college president's home. Later uses included a woman's dormitory, dining hall, music and arts classes, and finally a counseling center.
Today, the venerable mansion is completely restored to the style and spirit of its original decor, and houses the office of the president and other administrative offices. (Notes from

NEW HORIZONS: The French Lick Springs Resort & Casino, set to open Friday, is targeting customers within a 100-mile radius, as demonstrated by billboard and television ads in Indianapolis. But it plans to expand its marketing to cities such as Chicago, St. Louis and Nashville, Tenn.
- Filed Under
Ed and Jan Ryan are betting that the new French Lick Springs Resort & Casino will make their business a big winner.
The Bloomington couple spent six months and tens of thousands of dollars to buy and renovate a bungalow a few blocks from the casino. They opened it earlier this month as the Serendipity on Summit Guest House, offering it for rent at $200 a night.
"This is a truly new adventure for us. We own no other rental properties of any kind," said Jan Ryan, an artist. "We're just trying to catch another little niche of people visiting the area." ...

The November 2011 expiration of Pfizer's patent on the cholesterol drug Lipitor and Ranbaxy Labs' release of the generic version received significant play in the media, particularly due to the theretofore status of Lipitor (atorvastatin calcium) as the drug with the highest sales in the country, $7.7 billion in the United States, according to healthcare analytics firm IMS Health.
There is as much as $10 billion in branded pharmaceutical sales that could make the switch from prescription-only to over-the counter in the next five years, suggested Joseph Papa, Perrigo chairman, CEO and president, to analysts on Tuesday.
Pfizer is attempting to stem the rise of counterfeit medicines by selling one of its most popular drugs — and one of the most popular targets for counterfeiters — online.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved a drug for HIV in infants and toddlers.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new drug made by Merck for treating high cholesterol, the drug maker said.
Pregnant women should not use migraine-prevention medications containing valproate sodium due to a higher risk of decreased IQ scores in children, the Food and Drug Administration warned.
Kinney Drugs, with its almost-100 locations located primarily in upstate New York, is the latest pharmacy to capitalize on the robust offerings available through in-store health kiosks. Because it isn't only about taking that random blood pressure check anymore.
No, the in-store health kiosks going into stores today are designed to augment outcomes-based health care. For example, through the use of "smart cards," PharmaSmart helps track historical health metrics across its trademarked Blood Pressure Tracker web portal.
Harnessing the power of the diamond is the new 31° Diamond Skincare Collection by Rene, a new cosmetics maker.
A recently released reported that analyzed and measured the level of metals in 32 lip products does not provide any "new meaningful information" and the traces of metals found were not "unexpected given their natural presence in air, soil and water," according to a statement issued Thursday by the Personal Care Products Council.
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries has launched a generic inhaler used to treat bronchospasm, the company said.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved two generic drugs made by Aurobindo Pharma, the drug maker said.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new treatment for a genetic disorder that affects about 500 people in the United States and 3,000 worldwide, the agency said Tuesday.
The Food and Drug Administration declined to approve two drugs for HIV made by Gilead Sciences for which the company was seeking approval for use as part of treatment regimens.
Consumer Reports recently corrected a story to run in its May issue, titled "Vitamin D: How 32 supplements really measure up," that erroneously identified nine vitamin D/calcium supplement products that the publication claimed exceeded the California Proposition 65 Lead Limit for Reproductive Risk.
The National Advertising Division last week recommended that Interhealth Nutraceuticals discontinue certain claims for the company's Zychrome dietary supplements, products that are promoted for the management of insulin levels.
Generic drug maker Actavis is settling a patent-infringement suit with Purdue Pharma concerning the opioid painkiller OxyContin, Actavis said, saying it expected to make more than $100 million in the deal between 2014 and 2015.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new drug for constipation related to use of opioid painkillers made by Sucampo Pharmaceuticals and Takeda Pharmaceuticals, the drug makers said.
Diamonds are a girl's best friend — in hair care appliances? Revlon thinks so and has launched a set of styling tools for the retail market dubbed Nano Diamond.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved a second product in BD's new line of injectable drugs, the company said Tuesday.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved a drug made by Alcon, the drug maker said.
This month Walgreens announced that it would begin to offer chronic care services at its Take Care Clinics. Its biggest competitor, MinuteClinic, made a similar announcement about a year ago. With full implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the people paying the bills are going to get a good look at what retail clinics can do to lower costs and improve outcomes.
UrgentRx's fast powder OTC treatments are beginning to show up at the check-stand. As a brand offering, it represents a unique delivery format with unique merchandising opportunities. DSN sought out founder and president Jordan Eisenberg for the details.
The Food and Drug Administration has given tentative approval to two generic diabetes drugs made by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, the Indian drug maker said.
A federal court ruling has allowed Actavis to relaunch a generic contraceptive drug, the company said.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved a modification to a program added to the labeling of an obesity drug to ensure patient safety.

I am so mad. My sister in law just found out she's pregnant. While this isn't a planned pregnancy she has decided to keep the baby and raise it. She has also decided to go to the bar tonight and get piss drunk. I want so badly to call the bar and tell them she's pregnant but I won't. I have no words for how terrible this makes me feel. She told her boyfriend that it doesn't matter if she gets drunk the first couple of months because they don't matter. Obviously this is completly incorrect. I understand people drinking before they find out they are pregnant, but after? What the hell? Sometimes I wish I controlled the world.
My SIL is an idiot
Proud Mommy to Miss Danika Jane born 5-24-12! I love my (big) little girl!
I don't know that the bar can really do anything unless they have the right to refuse any patron for any reason. unfortunately, money will probably win out and and they would her pay than kick her out and risk the stab to their reputation
I agree, she's an idiot. But unfortunately, theres not much we can do. Just be prepared to help her if she causes permanent damage to the baby.
Pardon the typo's-Theres a baby in my lap!
Love my happy family of seven!
I'd call the bar. When I read the part that she doesn't think it matters the first few months, it made me think of Snooki. But in Snooki's defense, she didn't know she was pregnant. And yes, everything was ok with her LO, but that's not always the case.
My half-brother is a case were drinking did cause damage. He lives in a group home with other mentally disabled adults. It's definitely not something to be taken lightly...
Sweet Wild Child (5.28.12 NUCB)
& Mr. Happy (4.15.14 NUCB)
I called the bar and they said unless she says anything or is showing they can't do anything. RAWR. I am so worried for this baby. I know people drink and their babies are fine but I know so many who aren't. Why take the chance.
Proud Mommy to Miss Danika Jane born 5-24-12! I love my (big) little girl!
I don't understand why there are no laws to protect unborn babies from this. There should be legal ramifications for any mom who uses drugs or drinks and is fully aware she's expecting.
When I see or hear about babies being born with FAS or addicted to drugs it pains me. No newborn should have to suffer this. I seriously want to beat the crap out the mom when she's crying bc her baby is having withdrawals.
I'm not forgetful- I have Inappropiate Recall Timing. I never forget, I remember it at the wrong time.
I am so mad I am shaking. If I wasn't home alone with my daughter I would go down to the bar myself and yell at her. She's being SO irresponsible not to mention she could be do SO much harm to her child. Even if her baby turns out fine, which I am hoping for obviously, all this drinking isn't helping her at all. She's piss drunk right now. I did email her a huge amount of stuff on FAS and the like. I hope it helps her.
Proud Mommy to Miss Danika Jane born 5-24-12! I love my (big) little girl!

Sony Reveals Two Secret Games
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Video Games
Two exciting PlayStation 2 games were revealed by Sony of Japan last week. The first was what a lot of Sony fans have been waiting for: a semi-direct sequel to ICO. While previous news stories had christened the game NICO, the actual name of the game will be Wanda and the Colossus. At this point not much has been revealed about the title, besides the fact that the same development team behind ICO is making the game and it will share much of the same style as a result. You can go to the website devoted to the game here. (caution: the site is in Japanese)
The second game is titled Genji, which is being developed by the former Capcom developer of Street Fighter 2 fame, Yoshiki Okamoto. He left Capcom to create a separate company (named Game Republic) and this game is the result. Set in an alternative Japanese history in the year 1159, very little has been revealed as far as gameplay. You can go the website devoted to this game here.
Hopefully in the near future (the Tokyo Game Show, perhaps?), more will be revealed about these Sony-published games.

Full Screen Thumboard for Palm Tungsten T3
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Handhelds
There's a new shareware application that will display a full-screen thumboard in lieu of the standard system keyboard on your T3. Considering how the T3 screen is expandable, this should be a pretty comfortable option. Thumboard is compatible with all Palm OS applications which use a standard text field. It also provides visual and audio feedback for every key press, along with automatic repetition and "hold" for the keys that use it most frequently (such as backspace, delete, directional pad). The keyboard can be accessed or hidden with just a hardware button press. You can download Thumboard here. The shareware application costs $14.95 USD to register and includes free updates for a year.

Burnout 3 Game Review
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Product Reviews, Video Games
This has been a pretty exciting week for me. First I was able to snag a hard-to-find Rio Carbon unit. Then I managed to pick up EA's latest racer, Burnout 3 for the Playstation 2 on its release date. After getting tired of waiting for the next Gran Turismo, I decided to give this racer a try. My library really needed a solid traditional racer, and boy does this thing deliver. We know that all of our readers love to play games as well, so click below to read Gear Live's first of what we hope will be many game reviews to come.

RIM Launches New BlackBerry
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Cell Phones
The new BlackBerry 7100t (a.k.a. "Charm") looks more like a traditional phone than its older model, with a new 20-character keyboard: a combination of a telephone keypad and the traditional QWERTY keyboard layout. It will be available for $199.99 exclusively through T-Mobile USA. The design shows that most of the keys have more than one letter. To compensate for this, the device includes predictive software to guess which words the user is typing. RIM hopes to draw in a new market with this newly designed model, but insists that it's still a "BlackBerry."

Penne Wrapped In Phytto
|18 Tablespoon (1 Cup Plus 2 Tablespoons)
|Finely chopped shallots
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|1 Cup (16 tbs), cooked al dente
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Grated fontina cheese
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Freshly grated parmesan cheese
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|2 , lightly beaten
|Finely chopped italian parsley/1 teaspoon dried
|1 Tablespoon (Use Fresh)
|Freshly ground nutmeg
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Fresh italian parsley/1 teaspoon dried
|1 Tablespoon
|To Taste
|Freshly ground black pepper
|To Taste
|Fresh asparagus
|Phyllo pastry sheets
|15 (Preferably Fresh)
1. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, add the shallots, and saute briefly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
2. In a bowl, add the penne, shallots, ricotta, fontina, parme-san, eggs, parsley, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. Combine well.
3. Melt remaining butter over very low heat. Keep warm. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
4. On a large work surface, place 1 phyllo sheet and brush with the melted butter. Repeat until 5 sheets in all are buttered and stacked. Work fast; there is no need to cover the rest of the phyllo with a damp cloth if it is fresh. Spoon one third of the pasta mixture along the short end of the layered phyllo closest to you; leave a 1/2 inch border on all sides. Top with 5 or 6 asparagus,depending on size, and very carefully roll the phyllo. Fold in each edge, lengthwise, and continue to roll jellyroll fashion. As you are rolling, brush with a little more melted butter. The pasta roll will be about 10 inches long and about 3 inches wide.
5. Repeat the procedure with the remaining phyllo and filling and place the 3 phyllo rolls, seam-side down, on a large buttered baking tray. With a sharp knife or razor blade, make light indentation marks, on the diagonal, into each roll (as you would to bread). Be sure not to cut too deep or you will have the mixture coming out and it will not look very pretty. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until very golden. Let sit 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

Posted November 08, 2012 on AP on Fox
Trying to stop Baltimore running back Ray Rice was already a monumental task facing the Oakland Raiders this week. Doing it without seven-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Richard Seymour will make the challenge even more daunting. Seymour missed his second straight practice Thursday due to a lingering hamstring injury and is questionable to play in Baltimore on Sunday. The 12th-year veteran was already on a light practice schedule as a result of his troublesome knees. Neither Seymour nor Raiders coach Dennis Allen sounded too optimistic about the prospects of the 33-year-old defender playing against the Ravens. ''I don't know, I'm not sure,'' Seymour said. ''Hammies are tough. I've had them throughout my career. The only thing you can do is work hard. When it's ready I'll be back.'' Allen has had a tendency to take an overly cautious approach at times with some of his injured players but the rookie head coach made it clear that's not the case with Seymour. ''He couldn't practice...

From what I have been researching, it looks like to be legal you would have to do a trailer or truck and ride. Meaning go up to the bike with a truck or a can with a trailer and bring the bike home that way. I don't know.
I am looking for a BMW R1150GSA or R1200GSA, I am kind of set on the adventure model, becuase I am 6'4" so I think that bike would fit me better. Do any of the locals have any experiece or thoughts about the seat height difference between the GS and the GSA?
It seems like there are some ok deals right now for R12GS's and GSA's.
Basically if I buy it from out of state, get that title notarized at all costs...
. And get a recepit for ~$250 no matter how much it cost!
I was "that guy" who back in 2009 bought a 1986 Honda XL6R with no title, and after about 4 months was able to get a title for that sucker. I had to file a "petition" with the Court of Common Pleas in Cuyahoga County and everything, go before a magistrate, got a parking ticket. The magistrate person wanted my evidence that the PO lost the title and that it was not stolen, I told him that I wrote him multiple times and got no response. He agreed and sent me the paperwork to get it inspected to make sure that it was not stolen. Got the bike inspected at the state highway partol, once it "passed" took those papers to the title bureau over at like 480 at Broadway...I think, to get a title for it. The next weekend went and got the plates. I don't think that you can do that anymore, but I may be wrong. I had to do a total frame off restoration so I had the time to wait for the title non-sense to go through. Quite a process though.
I'm also 6'4" and ride a 2007 GSA. The bike will fit you well, but make no bones about it... it's a heavy beast.
The height of a GSA vs GS can vary since the seats have adjustable height settings. This post will give you a good idea of the seat height differences:
I've owned a Sargent and a Russell Day Long saddle, and also tried out a Corbin. The Russell really adds some height and is very comfortable, but even as a tall person it gets a bit tedious in heavy traffic situations. Honestly, the stock seat is pretty good depending on your weight and inseam. Other ergonomic changes can make it very comfortable to ride, I've got 2" Rox Risers and Fastway F5 pegs in the low position which gives about an inch of lowering to relax the knee bend angle a bit.
I'm considering selling mine, so if you'd rather buy one in-state and are interested, shoot me a PM and we'll see where it goes.

The more youtube videos I watch the more I like it.
Take mine out for a spin. And let's get together so I can get that 17" Trakmaster to you that's been in my garage forever

Grand Canyon, AZ South Rim
If you ever come to the grand canyon, be sure to fill up your gas tank at least 100 miles before the park. I waited and as I got closer gas got more and more expensive. I hit reserve in the park, and had to fill up for 3.40 a gallon... it was only 2.60 a gallon in flagstaff the day before.
We hike down the South Kaibob trail. The plan was to turn around at skeleton point, but we werent all that clear on where skeleton point was, there arent really any signs out there. It was 3 miles and 2000 feet down.
See that big rock sticking up in the pic. When we got down to that section we decided to climb around on it for a little bit. Pretty cool spot.
This is sitting on the rock, you can see the trail go down, and then we had to climb up the rock face to get to where we are now.
Not a bad looking place
That's the trail we were taking.
all the steep parts are covered in mule crap. I wonder if the steep parts scare it out of them
On the way back up we saw a Big Horn Sheep, but it was too far away to get a good photo.
Back at camp there were some deer that came right up behind our tents.
We got some beer and firewood and hotdogs from the grocery store and that was dinner.

KPMG's International Case Competition (KICC) is a chance for students to challenge yourself to solve a real business issue and an opportunity to meet new people across the globe.
Overview When I joined KPMG in South Africa 20 years ago, I had three immediate objectives: I wanted to go in to Computer Audit, (even though I didn't quite know what it meant but I did know that is what I wanted to do), I wanted to go on an international secondment and I wanted to become a partner.
In the 20 years a whole lot more has happened, which has been massively rewarding and really exciting; it has taken commitment and it has taken some personal sacrifice on the way but nothing comes for free and it has really been a very exciting time. I started off on the Audit side of the South African firm, to qualify as a chartered accountant, working directly with clients in a total fee-earning role, being out of the office from day one with clients. Today I find myself in the office almost all day, every day, with no fee-earning responsibilities directly, but direct client responsibilities. I now look after Sales and Marketing for KPMG in South Africa.
In between all that a whole lot has happened, I have done various secondments. For instance: I have been on a long-term secondment to the U.K. firm based in London to what was referred to as Computer Audit, now Information Risk Management. That was a phenomenal life experience, my first time out of South Africa, and really exposing me to different people, different cultures, different worlds and all this with the stability and sense of security that I was still very much with KPMG.
I have also undertaken short-term secondments: I have worked in Montvale, just outside New York, I have spent two stints in Brussels and another short-term secondment to London. All of those exposed me to the different sides of myself, of what I was capable of and to meeting different people and doing different things.
I have also worked in other member firms' offices, primarily for clients (for instance in Australia or in the U.K.). A visit to Canada took me to one of the most remote places in the world — in the north of Quebec, and in mid-winter, to visit a mine there, so really exciting and very varied times.
I certainly haven't been office-bound, even now I find that I am in the office pretty much all day every day because of my role, but the world that I work in takes me out of the office through the interactions that I have with other people and the need to stay totally connected to the KPMG network. Not just in my office here but in my country and certainly in the KPMG world.
Key milestones
1987 — Passing the final qualifying examinationPassing at my first attempt meant I could complete my training contract with the confidence that I was now very nearly a Chartered Accountant. I felt like 'the sky was the limit'.
1998 — Transfer to Information Risk ManagementThis was one of my specific objectives and wishes upon joining KPMG. I was pleased to be able to do so at the earliest possible time in my career development.
1990-91 — Secondment to KPMG in the U.K. (Information Risk Management)Another of my other clearly stated objectives was to go on an international secondment which was made possible through KPMG. This was my first 'away from home' experience and a huge part of my personal development.
1991-94 — Establishing National Information Risk Management in South AfricaI thoroughly enjoyed the experience of working with the chairman of our global Computer Audit Advisory Committee to establish this department. It brought me into direct and active contact with KPMG internationally and the South African firms' leading thinkers.
1993-94 — KPMG Audit Service Manual (KASM) international training task forceI joined the KASM International Training Taskforce, working with a global team based in London, Brussels and Montvale (U.S.), later training in other parts of the world. The rich tapestry of life experiences, career development and personal friendships that grew out of this is something I will always treasure.
1996 — Admitted to the South African firm partnershipThis was a hugely important milestone in my career and a moment of intense personal pride. KPMG is an outstanding organization and it felt wonderful (still does) to be recognized as a partner. I have never looked back.
1997 — Transfer to Energy & Natural ResourcesAnother career defining moment. Through this, I went on to lead high profile and undeniably challenging projects. The work required significant personal sacrifice but the rewards, particularly in life experience and career development, more than made up for this.
2000 — Transfer to Sales & MarketingOver time, this role has grown in a number of different ways and is my passion. The opportunity to positively influence and so shape the perceptions and direction of the South African firm is hugely rewarding and challenging.
2005 — Launch of the KPMG's MAD Fund and swimming pool restoration projectWith overwhelming support from the senior leadership, the launch of the KPMG Make A Difference (MAD) Fund and successful completion of the restoration of the swimming pool at a Children's Home in Johannesburg was a life-changing experience for me.
Key themes
Career mobilityMy career progression to date has been varied and exciting. I have moved across Audit/Computer Audit/Consulting and Advisory/Sales & Marketing. I have also moved across industries — at first with a particular focus on Financial Services, then specializing in Energy & Natural Resources, specifically mining. I've also moved across international borders. Every move brings new challenges which naturally lead to professional and career development. And each move, of course, adds to life's experiences, personal development and personal friendships.
International secondmentsThe international side of KPMG is very important to me, as is the solid local member firm. I was seconded to the U.K. firm in London, with further short-term secondments to Brussels and Montvale, U.S., and work experience in KPMG firms in Australia, Canada, Kenya, Singapore, Swaziland and other countries. I've taken up a number of opportunities along the way — typically requiring significant personal commitment and sacrifice but the benefits and especially the life experience have been amazing.
Community involvementThe most significant project I've undertaken with KPMG so far was to lead the restoration of the swimming pool at the Abraham Kriel Children's Home with the launch of KPMG's Make A Difference Fund. I also led the production of our 'Giving Back' brochure and a host of related initiatives along the way. What does one gain? An enormous sense of pride in KPMG, a 'can do' attitude and a hugely positive feeling about yourself and your work. You know you are making a difference even if only in a small way. We've seen this emerge as an incredibly important part of our business and something that is very attractive to our people, clients and recruits.

You've repeated yourself.
| Wraithlord42 chapter 1 . 7/10/2005
This is a weird, twisted world, and I'm wondering just how you got to this kind of conclusion. I'm also a little annoyed that you equate this "breakdown in sexual morals" with a complete collapse of society. This is one of the tools people use to keep gay marriage illegal, and we can just see how everything has fallen apart in the Netherlands and Belgium. So I can see how the non-marriage and the accepted homosexuality could come about (as it actually has in this world) but not the paedophilia. "Loose" sexual morals are accepted in this world because they don't inflict any harm on anyone. Paedophilia and sadism are psychologically damaging and /would/ lead to a complete collapse. But how on earth a society devolved from liberal views on sexuality to an utterly flesh-crazed culture I leave it to you to explain. All I can say is: it hasn't happened yet.
| Anne chapter 1 . 11/14/2004
This was interesting-while it gives an image of a world where sex is viewed completely differently, I think somehow the piece could've worked better if it was-well, less extreme. this story actually kinda made me wonder, "why is meaningless sex wrong?" In a world like this, it's obviously taken too far, like with the case of using the children. But say the children thing is taken out, because they actually do consider the children human. Then wouldn't all this sex be between consenting adults? If they don't care, then what IS wrong with it? Or like, deviant sex-when you aren't manipulating people who can't give their consent, like children, what exactly is wrong with it? I'm assuming there's an absence of god in this world/society/culture, and in that sense, doesn't that sort of mean that people are free to make their own decisions about sex? While this gives an interesting perspective of a world where sexual desires are indulged in as much as the people want, it doesn't really give me much immoral or anti-sex feeling, just because it doesn't seem to really-touch on reasons, I guess? If that was your intention. It's very interesting, though, and well written.
| Stormer chapter 1 . 9/21/2004
This is a really interesting story. I feel for the caged kids. But then again, you have just illustrated a very different culture. With very different opinions of sex. Intriguing. I'm not really sure what to think of the subject matter overall, but I think your writing is some of the most interesting at . Keep going, please! We need writers who dare to be different!
| twilek chapter 1 . 8/11/2004
wow! kinda sick, but i liked it. it was good! good job! its like 1984 too, but more sex. just kidding. good job!
| Solve chapter 1 . 7/6/2004
In the sentance "Once the children grew up, they were adults, and they were given to the masochists to do what they wished with them, although a good majority of the masochists preferred children anyway." It seems like "sadists" would fit better than "masochists". A masochist is one who enjoys having pain inflicted on them, a sadist is one who enjoys inflicting pain on others (sometimes children, if they're pedophiles as well).
| Cool Guy chapter 1 . 7/2/2004
Were you mad at your friends after you heard them talk about sex in such a way? Even though I don't know you, I get this "Vibe".
| hey chapter 1 . 6/28/2004
EEP! Sorry I'm so late in reviewing. But then again, seeing as I read them before you update them, why should I even review? Do you know why?
It's 'cause I'm NICE, oh bossy one.
Be grateful.

3.0 out of 5 stars Tedium
For the most part I found Barney's Version tedious. Very few of the characters captivated me and the self indulgence of the protagonist was boring. However, I am glad I persevered to the end, because the conclusion was, indeed, unique, surprising and gratifying.
There is one definite redeeming feature of the book, and that is the portrayal of a very...

Written in the form of a memoir of Barney Panofsky, a grumpy old bastard who wanted to be a writer and settled for being rich. Having led a fairly controversial life, and with his arch-rival publishing his memoirs, Barney decides to tell his side of the story. From his disastrous first marriage to a poet who becomes an icon after she commits suicide, alleged murder of his best friend and ultimate devotion to his third wife and soul mate (Miriam, Miriam) who left him after years of neglect, Barney unapologetically sneers his way through the decades with impressive wit and faulty memory (which are corrected with footnotes by his oldest son). As the book progresses his memory erodes further and the disjointed narrative becomes a poignant inside look at Alzheimer's and dementia. Despite this, Barney's Version is not melodramatic or overly tragic. Instead, it is a sharp, funny and incisive look at a hero in his own epic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Few books haunt my memory, but this one shall, it's great!,
email@example.com (Omaha, Nebraska (on purpose!)) - See all my reviews
I have been reviewing books for 25 years and I must admit that I can count on both hands the number of books I would recommend as "must reads."
But "Barney's Version", by Mordecai Richler, is definitely one of them.As a reader the same age as Barney, I laughed and cried over this wonderful character, and will love him till the day I die.
Barney is a 68 year old Jewish gentleman who has been married three times, widowed once, divorced twice, though still in love with "Miriam, my heart's desire." He had a gay (in the old meaning) youth gallivanting around Europe, then settled in America where he somehow gets charged with and tried for murder. I am a mystery buff, these chapters alone rate those five stars.
This novel is Barney's version of the dastardly deeds he has commited throughout his lifetime, and he will keep you laughing and crying and loving through the pages and through the years.
A bonus in the book is the contribution of Barney's son, Michael, who finds it necessary to footnote the book, correcting Barney here and there, as Barney's memory isn't as good as it used to be. He can never remember such important issues as the last two of the seven dwarfs, the name of that thing you drain spaghetti in, which of the big bands played "In the Mood" and who was that gorgeous brunette in Lil Abner? (You don't remember? Read the book!)
Just recalling the book tempts me to re-read it. I strongly advise you to buy a copy; don't borrow one, for you will never be able to bring yourself to part with it. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Think I Went To High School With This Guy,
By A Customer
First off, if you don't want the murder revealed to you, do not read the review after this one, especially since the reader didn't get it quite right.
I didn't know what to expect from this book and I couldn't put it down. Barney is such a great character as he embodies both the good and evil in all of us. His contant struggle with his own self worth, along with his methods for dealing with it, made me like him or at least understand him even in his worst moments. I finished reading this about three weeks ago and still recall parts of it almost everyday. A great character development that is very funny and sad at the same time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-deserving of praise,
�`The portrayal of Barney, pen overflowing with years of accumulated weaknesses, shortcomings and flaws, is weighted by the man�fs sincere fondness for what was, was lost, and still remains in his world. His words are often offensive, but his actions and failures are so very human that it�fs hard to begrudge an old man crippled by actions he cannot undo.
Barney's politics are less threatening than is the fleeting sense of self that slips from the pages as Barney unsuccessfully clings to his�` memories. His gruff, critical voice in the present is contrasted by the delicate manner with which he describes events that occurred in the past, making apparent their fragile existence and his urgency to record them on paper.
This book came highly recommended but took me a while to get into because I tried to read it in short intervals over a long period of time, a method the format of the book doesn't lend itself to at all. There are a multitude of characters and events that take place�` over a broad span of time, and it's best (like with most novels) to get a good feel for the characters before putting the book down after that first reading.
It was quite frustrating to pick it up again after some time had passed and immediately feel lost in the many distinct, though interrelated stories, being told nearly simultaneously. Yet even that mood was appropriate for the work�fs subject material. After all, Barney�fs Version was written as a memoir written by a man in the�`�` process of losing his very memories.
Richler creates an incredibly complete world: endearing despite malcontented and despondent overtones. It�fs full of regret coupled with hope and a deep sense of attachment to everything that has ever made itself a part of Barney�fs life. Barney�fs Version is funny, sad, and beautifully written. I wish I had read it sooner and plan to read it again.�`

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the most lovable anti-heroes in literature!,
By A Customer
A carefully constructed, exquisitely detailed character study delivered in the first person, this novel is nearly perfect in every regard. At various parts it will have the reader both laughing and crying (especially at its conclusion!), and not infrequently scrambling to look up faintly recognized literary or film references. The glue of this masterpiece is its central character, Barney Panofsky: an aging, insecure, cynical, and vulgar producer of mediocre television shows and movies whose life has become focused on two obsessions-- his undying love for his ex-wife Mariom, and his equally passionate contempt for his contemporary Terry McIver. There is too much to say that is good about this novel. Despite Barney's often despicable character traits, you will grow to love him (indeed , you will love him BECAUSE OF these faults!). The story is richly detailed and thoroughly entertaining, and the ending is not only heart-breakingly sad, but is also delivered with a very satisfying (and unforseen) twist. There are several previous reviewers who described Barney's frequent tirades as "tiring" and that the subjects of his diatribes were "unworthy" of such scorn. On these points I completely disagree. I found Barney's character to be entirely compelling and ingeniosly composed; someone you will laugh at (repeatedly), puzzle over, identify with, and ultimately grow to love. You will not be disappointed should you choose to read this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A story well worth the struggle,
Amelia Depp (ON, Canada) - See all my reviews
I found that while Barneys Version was at times difficult to get through, it is well worth the time and effort. It starts off a little slow with the introduction of too many characters and too many stories but soon develops into a great story about not so great mans life. It is not easy to like Barney at first, but as you see more and more of him, you begin to accept him and possibly even like him. This book was exceptionally funny filled with blunt truths and witty remarks. However if your looking for an easy, lighthearted read, then dont look here. Barneys Version is humourous but dark and requires concentration and thought to be able to fully appreciate the complex character that is Barney.

5.0 out of 5 stars criminally underrated,
This book should be read. It is so rich, so full of zest, so involving. You'll laugh aloud at the same that you clench your fists. Barney's Version should have won the Booker Prize. If you have not read it you really ought to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relate to Barney, it's simple.,
By A Customer
Downright crude in it's humour, Barney's Version takes a man obsessed with rejuvinating his ex-wife's love for him. Bordering alcoholism, and landing stright in clumsiness, Barney puts his life story on paper in this fictional memoir to discredit accusations made in an old-friend-presently-enemy's own memoir soon to be released. Barney rushes to his own defence, denying such allegations as jealousy, cowardice, conceit, and even murder. It's hard to believe isn't real!

4.0 out of 5 stars A witty novel full of real-life characters.,
By A Customer
Mordecai Richler at his best. Witty, cynic, funny. This reminds me of The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz and Joshua Now and Then. For me, a novel that makes you wish evening was here, so you can get back reading it...is always a winner, and this is the case. A very lively description of life in Montréal and Paris in the 50's and 60's. A novel that is not only entertaining but from which you learn a lot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you Mr. Mordecai Richler,
Eric Pierni (Montreal, Quebec (?)Canada;) - See all my reviews
I strongly disagree with Heather Spearman from Ottawa ON Canada who wrote in a review just above that 'nobody would like the character of Barney after reading this novel.' Quite the contrary; Barney was as real a character as I have ever read...and very enjoyable. I have done or have at least felt inclined to act in many of the same ridiculous ways Barney does.
What makes this book so sad is that Mr. Mordecai Richler is no longer here to write a couple more words. Barney's Version is a classic.

An active lifestyle may be key to slowing brain's aging
By Rob Stein / Washington Post
Like many Americans sliding into middle age, Kimberly McClain started worrying that her memory was beginning to slip.
"It was little things. I couldn't remember what I had for dinner the night before. I had to check to make sure I'd paid the insurance that month. I'd walk into a room and realize I had no idea why I was there," says the Los Angeles marriage counselor, 44.
So McClain started a program designed to help -- a detailed regimen that includes daily memory exercises.
"I'm much clearer now," McClain says. "I have no problem finding my keys. I can tell you what I had for dinner last night. I'm not walking into a room thinking, 'Why did I come in here?' "
McClain is among the increasing number of Americans who are performing mental calisthenics, taking Italian classes, deciphering crossword puzzles and hunting for other ways to try to keep their minds from fading.
A large body of evidence indicates that people who are mentally active throughout their lives are significantly less likely to suffer senility, and a handful of studies have found that mental exercises can boost brain function. Elderly people who go through training to sharpen their wits, for example, score much better on thinking tests for years afterward. The minds of younger people who drill their memories seem to work more efficiently.
But it remains far from clear exactly which of the myriad use-it-or-lose-it methods promoted by researchers, self-help books and health groups protect the brain in the long-term, and actually reduce the risk for dementia. So scientists, increasingly employing high-tech brain scans, have launched an incipient wave of research to determine what works and why.
"We're right at the cusp of understanding this," says Sherry Willis of Pennsylvania State University. "Because brain imaging work has become so much more technologically sophisticated, we're now at the point where we literally look inside people's brains to try to understand what's going on."
With the population aging, and the number of cases of Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia rising rapidly, experts say preventing mental deterioration from occurring in the first place will be crucial to minimizing the mounting suffering and costs.
"It's really critical that we find ways to prevent, or at least delay the onset of, cognitive decline," says Neil Buckholtz of the National Institute on Aging. "Once the pathology is established in the brain, it's very difficult to treat. We need better ways to prevent the disease in the first place, which could make a huge difference for the future."
Several large studies are examining antioxidants such as selenium, vitamins C and E and folate, as well as the popular herbal remedy ginkgo biloba. Researchers also remain hopeful that anti-inflammatory painkillers such as Celebrex and the hormone estrogen may prove useful, despite safety concerns. Other researchers are exploring whether cholesterol drugs might protect the brain as well as the heart. It has become increasingly clear that the same strategies that cut the risk for heart attacks and strokes -- eating well, lowering cholesterol and blood pressure, avoiding obesity and diabetes, and exercising regularly -- protect the brain, too.
"We don't have to wait until tomorrow when we have some kind of wonder drug," says Arthur Kramer of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who has found that sedentary elderly people who start exercising regularly are sharper and experience growth in crucial brain areas. "Many things that we can do today can engender cognitive vitality and successful aging, and one of them is exercise."
Among the most tantalizing evidence are studies that have given rise to the use-it-or-lose-it theory. Several large projects have found that people who are more educated have more intellectually challenging jobs and engage in more mentally stimulating activities, such as attending lectures and plays, reading and other hobbies, are much less likely to develop Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.
Scientists suspect that a lifetime of thinking a lot may create a "cognitive reserve" -- a reservoir of brain power that people can draw upon even if they suffer damaging silent strokes or protein deposits that are the hallmarks of Alzheimer's.
"Some people might have brain networks that are more efficient and so have a greater capacity to compensate for disease," says Yaakov Stern of Columbia University, who is using brain scans to try to zero in on the circuits that matter most. "So when they are challenged by disease, those networks continue to operate longer."
In one of the first major attempts to test whether mental training works, a federally funded study involving more than 2,800 elderly people found that those who received 10 brain-training lessons scored much better on thinking tests, and the effect lasted for at least three years. The training taught strategies aimed at improving reasoning skills, the processing of new information, and memory, such as mnemonic devices for remembering names.
Many researchers suspect, however, that people may benefit most from engaging in a rich diversity of stimulating activities. New experiences may be far more important than repeating the same task over and over. Moreover, it may be key to combine mental stimulation with social interaction, which studies have found also appears highly beneficial. Experts say the task should be enjoyable, because stress and other negative emotions appear harmful.
So scientists have launched a series of pilot studies examining more real-life approaches. In Indiana, one team of researchers is testing whether elderly people who take quilting classes fare better, while another is following groups of elderly people as they participate in an adult version of the Odyssey of the Mind competition originally developed for schoolchildren. Outside Chicago, a husband-and-wife team of researchers is experimenting with acting classes. In Baltimore, Johns Hopkins aging experts are studying whether volunteering as tutors and librarians helps. All report promising, though preliminary, findings.
Other researchers say that although the evidence may remain inconclusive, it is promising enough for people to start doing the things that look as though they may help.
The prescription combines a healthful diet with daily exercise, relaxation techniques and memory exercises, such as making a mental note of one piece of a family member's wardrobe each morning. Small tested the approach in a pilot study that included McClain. Not only did those on the prescription score better on memory tests, but brain scans lit up in ways that indicated key areas of their gray matter appeared to be working more efficiently, he says.

BUFFALO, NY - NOVEMBER 06: James Van Riemsdyk #21 of the Philadelphia Flyers skates during the game against the Buffalo Sabres at HSBC Arena on November 6, 2009 in Buffalo, New York. (Photo by Rick Stewart/Getty Images)
James Van Riemsdyk scored his fifth and sixth goals of the season Tuesday night, while Korbinian Holzer scored on just the fourth shot of his NHL career, leading the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 3-2 victory over the slumping Washington Capitals. Ben Scrivens made 24 saves for the Maple Leafs, who broke a two-game losing streak and maintained their road-ice advantage in the early part of the season. Toronto is 4-1 on the road - and only 1-4 at home. Marcus Johansson and Mike Ribeiro scored power-play goals for the Capitals, who have lost eight of 10 to start the season and sit at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. Two-time league MVP Alex Ovechkin was held to one assist and has only two goals and three assists on the season. Michal Neuvirth made 18 saves for Washington, but he allowed Holzer to go five-hole with a slap shot from near the blue line midway through the second period, giving the Maple Leafs a 3-1 lead and the German defenseman his first NHL goal in his fifth ...

SANDUSKY, Ohio (AP) — Police say a man shot his girlfriend and then killed himself on a Lake Erie beach Friday after an officer tried to question the couple.
Sandusky police say the officer approached the couple sitting near the shoreline about 10:30 p.m. because they were in Lions Park after it had closed.
As the officer tried to talk to the couple, Larry Barnett Jr., 25, turned and shot his girlfriend, Rachelle Baskey, 24, in the head, then shot himself, according to Sandusky police.
Police say the couple was apparently homeless and recently unemployed. After the shooting, medical personnel took the two to Firelands Regional Medical Center in Sandusky. The hospital would not comment.

School Notes:
- Blue Oak School is committed to providing children with an optimal learning environment where they are encouraged to examine their interests, expand their understanding and engage their imaginations.
- Small class sizes allow for individual attention and a collaborative mix of teachers who are creative, passionate about the lessons they teach, and most importantly, deeply committed to the children they serve. The result is a vibrant community where learning is an active, joyful process of discovery.
- Children "learn by doing." At Blue Oak School students experience what they study. They do not just read about science, they explore and make hypotheses and then test them. They devise mathematical models and use them in practical applications; they read children\'s literature and create their own stories. They learn music and compose and perform their own.
- Curriculum is child-centered and developmentally appropriate. Learning takes place in a meaningful context and is tied to children\'s needs and interests.
- The curriculum builds from a foundation. It draws on what students already know and extends their established base of knowledge. Students connect to new learning and retain the known.
- Understanding, rather than memorization, is stressed. Students transfer learning to new situations, teach other students and create using what they have understood.
- The process of learning is emphasized. When process is central, there is no need to cheat, no need for parents to do homework, no need to avoid risks. Risk-taking and experiencing an occasional failure are encouraged.
- The curriculum is integrated. Blue Oak School faculty blend disciplines to stimulate understanding from different viewpoints. Teaching is extended through literature, music, art, science and mathematics.
- Inquiry is at the heart of the curriculum. Important questions are asked and addressed.
