BMW AG's (Munich, Germany) largest manufacturing site in Europe — in area (2.8 million m2) and volume (360,000 cars in 2015) — is situated in Dingolfing, Germany. More than 17,000 employees — 12,000 in the plant and another 5,000 in surrounding support facilities — turn out 1,600 cars per day. Dingolfing not only produces 15 models, including all variations, of BMW's 5, 6 and 7 Series, but also one model each of the 3 and 4 Series. It also turns out components for BMW's electric vehicles and, as the company's Center of Competence for aluminum, it builds car bodies for Rolls-Royce (Manchester, UK) as well.
"We've learned how to handle complexity," emphasizes Plant Dingolfing managing director Josef Kerscher. "We are the only automotive manufacturing facility worldwide to handle not only this many different models, but also engines from three to 12 cylinders, as well as plug-in hybrids."
The Dingolfing complex began as the Hans Glas GmbH auto factory, which BMW acquired in 1967. Since 1973, BMW has produced almost 10 million vehicles there. Over the past three years, Dingolfing has undergone an upgrade valued at more than a half billion euros for the new 7 Series production alone, including increased automation and aluminum die casting along with a new carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) production hall and a new state-of-the-art facility to produce the first body-in-white (BIW) combining steel, aluminum and CFRP, known as the Carbon Core.
The multi-material BIW is a big reason why the 7 Series is breaking new ground in top-of-the-line vehicle performance and luxury (for more on the latter, see Learn More located under Editor's Picks on the top right). The BMW 7 Series is 130 kg lighter than its predecessor and its principal competitor, the S-class Mercedes. Although only 3% of the BIW parts are CFRP, totaling 13 kg, they account for 40 kg of weight savings. It contributes to what BMW calls Efficient Dynamics, which reduces fuel consumption and emissions while enhancing the driver experience. "I get 100 km from 4.5 liters of gas," says Kerscher. "This is what you would expect from a very small car, not from a luxury sedan. The key to this is lightweight construction."
The BMW 7 Series is now in full production. "The launch was very successful," says 7 Series product manager Christian Metzger, "achieving cost, quality and volume targets." The launch was
the culmination of a three-year program that included not only product development, but also a three-year process in the plant to develop all of the required manufacturing processes. The latter was CW's focus as it toured Dingolfing's 1.6 million-m2 Plant 2.4.
CFRP: 4,000 parts per day
Sixteen CFRP parts make up the Carbon Core, each manufactured using one of four technologies (Fig. 1 and see Table 1 below), with each chosen to meet specific part shape and property requirements, yet minimize weight. Michael Ahlers, BMW head of Process Chain Body-In-White and Exterior, points out the Carbon Core parts on a 7 Series BIW displayed at the entrance to the plant's 11,000m2 CFRP production/logistics area. Noting the B-pillar (Fig. 2), Ahlers explains, "It uses CF prepreg covered with a film of epoxy adhesive. Both are hardened to the formed steel B-pillar in one press step." High-pressure resin transfer molding (HP-RTM) is used in the roof rail, made in the nearby BMW Landshut plant, to meet roof pressure test requirements, while wet compression molding (or wet pressing, see Learn More) enables cost-effective, short-duration cycle times for parts such as the tunnel, sills and selected roof bows (Fig. 3).
When asked about galvanic corrosion, Ahlers explains that for rear cross member/upper trunk cover (Fig. 4), the only CFRP part in touch with aluminum, adhesive is used to isolate the CFRP from the aluminum. There are no through-hole fasteners to act as a corrosion bridge. Also, the aluminum is painted (black) to prevent corrosion from environmental factors. "The key is to have the right materials and to have them support each other," says Ahlers.
The cross member/trunk cover is molded from epoxy sheet molding compound (SMC) reinforced with recycled carbon fiber. The fiber is a lofted material, derived from 7 Series waste as well as waste from cutting dry fabrics for BMW's i3 and i8 moldings. These leavings are carded and formed into nonwoven mat. "In this process, the knowledge is where to put the resin in and how to press it all to avoid dry areas, which happens if you have too much fiber," says Ahlers. "But, if you have too little fiber, you have too much resin and not enough mechanical properties."
The recycled carbon fiber SMC parts are not made by BMW, but instead are delivered from a supplier and use epoxy resin. The type of epoxy used, however, is optimized per process. For example, Hexion's (Columbus, OH, US) quick-curing EP TRAC 0600/EK TRAC 06130 epoxy is used in the 7 Series' HP-RTM roof bows and the wet compression molded tunnel.
BMW continues to work closely with its resin suppliers. "We have developed faster resins since the i3 and i8," Ahlers notes, "and we also did all new testing, starting with coupon testing to feed the simulations and then moving up through components to qualify each material for each part."
At this point, BMW Group Plant Dingolfing's head of Press Shop and CFRP Production Peter Wolferseder takes over the tour. As he leads the way into the open production area, he explains that the CFRP Shop's 100 employees cover three shifts, five days per week. Inside, a bank of 10 automated CNC milling machines supplied by EIMA Maschinenbau (Frickenhausen, Germany) flanks the left side with a line of presses opposite — five for wet compression molding and two for hybrid B-pillar pressing — all supplied by Dieffenbacher (Eppingen, Germany). Many of the tools in the presses, he says, are supplied by FRIMO Inc. (Lotte, Germany). "We have a good relationship with them, and we also build some tools in-house."
Walking past the CNC milling cells, Wolferseder shows how a wet-compression-molded tunnel part is placed into the front of the machine while another is milled at the back, for maximum throughput and efficiency (Fig. 5). "No dust escapes," he points outs. "It is a completely clean environment."
Wet pressing of sills
The sills that run along the lower sides of the BIW are assembled from two CFRP parts, also wet compression molded. A sill manufacturing cell equipped with two Kuka Robotics Corp. (Augsburg, Germany) robotic arms applies epoxy resin simultaneously to two dry textile preforms. The non-crimp fabric (NCF) for the preforms is made at BMW's joint venture plant SGL Automotive Carbon Fibers, 60 minutes away in Wackersdorf, which also supplies the i3 and i8 lines. The resin is mixed and injected via a dual-head system supplied by KraussMaffei (Munich, Germany), with an integrated volume flowmeter that records the quantity applied to each stack. The resin forms a pool in the center of the stacks, leaving about an inch or so around the edges. "If the resin goes to the edges, then the needle grippers we use to pick up the preforms would get covered in resin and no longer work," explains Wolferseder (Figs. 6a and 6b). "The resin application is programmed to fully impregnate to the edges during the pressing."
Why two robots instead of one? "Because both preforms should be the same," Wolferseder responds, "with the resin sitting on them for the same amount of time. If you only had one robot, one preform would have resin sitting for some seconds more than the other. Also, the robots are not very costly, so it is no issue to have two."
Designed with latency, so cure does not begin until the press cycle, the resin sits for some seconds, penetrating through the preforms vertically. The wet preforms are picked up and placed
in the press by the robotically actuated needle grippers. The press then applies pressure according to specified ramp, with the final 10 mm of "daylight" closed very slowly. "Our special recipe to produce these parts is to coordinate the temperature, pressure and resin curve," says Wolferseder.
Two molded stacks are produced with one stroke (Fig. 6c). "We will cut these in half so that we end up with four parts from one cycle," says Wolferseder. "We mostly use tools with four cavities to increase the overall output capacity of our machines."
He points out that this is a completely unattended process and totally reliable. "There are two people at the end to take parts off the line and to do QA checks. If there is a defect, they can address this in the machines," says Wolferseder. "Wet pressing is not unique," he adds. "What is unique is this industrialization."
Hybrid B-pillars
The prepreg used to reinforce the B pillars is delivered from Hexcel Austria (Neumarkt) using epoxy resin from an undisclosed supplier and carbon fiber from SGL Carbon SE (Wiesbaden).
It arrives precut to shape and on trays, which are stacked onto trolleys and rolled into the workcell's feed station. "The solid green layer on top is the epoxy adhesive which will bond the CFRP to the hot-formed steel B-pillar," says Wolferseder, "but also provide isolation against galvanic corrosion."
A robot picks up two of the adhesive-coated prepreg preforms and places them on a light table to enable an automated stack orientation check, which is completed in a few seconds by a Vision Machine Technic (Mannheim, Germany) system. The robot then picks up the preforms again and after returning to the workcell's periphery swivels to the other side of the robot transit aisle and places the prewforms into one of several drawers in a convection oven. Here, the CFRP preforms and the steel B-pillars are preheated before pressing. The preforms are then transferred from the heating drawer to a forming station where they are placed onto and shaped by a set of pins that essentially form an articulated tool. After this is completed, the two shaped preforms are mated to two preheated steel B pillars and then fed into the press. A twin-cavity tool, supplied by Koller Formenbau (Dietfurt, Germany), molds a complete set of left and right B-pillars in one stroke. Wolferseder explains that the presses used here are the same as those employed in wet pressing, but the pre-and post-press equipment is completely different.
After a high-temp, high-pressure cycle, the two finished parts are removed and set on a shelf where they will cool at ambient temperature. "The cooling stage is needed in order for the parts to finish hardening," says Wolferseder, "and also for the two workers at the end of the line to be able to handle them." The robot receives a signal that the temperature of the parts is cool enough and then transfers them to the conveyor belt where the workers will pick them up, perform a visual inspection for quality and will also remove the peel ply/foil on top of the prepreg. "The CFRP allows us to use a thinner, more lightweight steel part," says Wolferseder, "saving 2 kg while providing superior crash performance."
Dingolfing Body Shop
A short drive from the CFRP Shop is the 40,000m2 Body Shop, where CFRP parts and metal parts from the Press Shop are joined into modules, which then are assembled into the 7 Series BIW. CW's tour here is led by Christoph Roth, head of production for the BMW 7 Series Body-in-White. Scanning the floor from an overhead viewing bay, the high degree of automation is obvious — 460 robotic arms are used in the shop's 7 Series section alone, overseen by 130 technicians per shift.
Roth explains that CFRP parts come into this building through an exterior washing area where dust from machining is removed. "All of the parts do this except for the B-pillars because they are not machined and they are also not bonded during BIW production, only welded," Roth explains. "This washing and then drying is necessary because all of these parts will be bonded, so the surfaces must be very clean." The CFRP parts are fed into the Body Shop on a just-in-time (JIT) basis, directed from the overall production control system. After drying, the parts are sent to one of the 20 automated production cells that join the CFRP parts to metal. These cells produce parts for all 7 Series derivatives, including left and right hand drives and extra-length version.
"Figuring out how to join all of these parts and the production cells needed was the challenge," says Roth. "Every joining method already existed somewhere in the automotive industry, but the challenge was how to bring it all together with these new materials and make it all work for our production cycles." The roof frames and lower sill reinforcements are glued and riveted, but the rivets are used only to hold the glued surfaces in contact until the epoxy adhesive cures. "We decide on what fasteners to use depending on where the part is in the car, the material and also the access," he explains. "If you can only access one side, then you use flow-drill-screws, for which we have also developed very innovative new technology." The latter require no pilot hole, feature an undercut beneath the heads and very fast installation, which heats up the surrounding material and, as a result, "welds" the fasteners in to a degree. Roth continues, "We use 150 flow-drill-screws per each 7 Series BIW. If the machine can gain access to top and bottom, then we can use rivets."
Roth describes one area where fasteners have been eliminated:
"The aluminum casted part that is glued to the CF SMC rear support replaces up to 30 separate parts but has now been integrated into a one-piece unit." Walking past multiple rectangular, fenced-in production cells, each with two or three robotic arms moving parts through various preparation and joining operations, he points out a worker who is performing ultrasonic inspection on a completed subassembly.
"Three parts per shift are pulled from each station and tested either nondestructively or with light force to ensure strength."
Tunnel assembly cell
Trolleys with CFRP and metal parts are loaded into the auto- mated production cell. A Kuka robotic arm picks up a CFRP tunnel and rotates it beneath a mix, meter and dispense (MMD) nozzle for application of epoxy adhesive (Fig. 7). The part is then placed under a set of cameras for a quick QA check of adhesive placement vs. a reference. "There must be no interruptions in the length, and it also checks the width of the adhesive bead," explains Roth. "It doesn't worry about the thickness because we apply more adhesive than necessary and also use spacers, which maintain the distance between the parts for uniform bondline thickness."
"We use roughly 150m of glue per 7 Series BIW," says Roth. There are drums of adhesive from Sika AG (Baar, Switzerland) and also MMD machines at each production cell. "We have used SIKA and bonding for metal parts for years," says Roth, "but the adhesive we use for the CFRP stations is a specialty adhesive for CFRP-to-sheet-metal bonding."
The tunnel is then mated to the steel components of this subassembly. Rivets are applied to affix the CFRP and steel pieces together until the epoxy hardens five hours later, when the BIW goes into the paint oven. The tunnel production cell produces 17 units per hour.
When asked about issues encountered while developing the various press cells, Roth responds, "The challenge was how to qualify personnel to repair and maintain these new machines for joining multiple materials. So, we pulled our best maintenance personnel and placed them within the process development group so that they would understand the technology behind these machines and processes." These personnel then became specialists for the new joining equipment. "It is key that they were involved from the beginning," Roth adds.
Building the Carbon Core
Other cells that join CFRP and metal parts include those for sills, B- and C-pillars and roof rail assemblies. Most of the completed subassemblies that contain CFRP are used to form the BIW's mid-section. The C pillar reinforcement and upper trunk cover are on the rear section (Fig. 8). The front section is all metal.
Once a subassembly is completed, it is loaded by elevator onto an overhead conveyor that transports it to the BIW assembly line. Assembly of the BIW begins with key steel and aluminum chassis pieces joined and welded atop a moving sled. The BIW then progresses through subsequent stations where additional subassemblies are lowered, robotically placed, fastened and/or welded until the Carbon Core is complete (Fig. 9).
Final assembly line
Completed BIWs are painted before proceeding through Hall 52, which produces 5, 6 and 7 Series vehicles. An adjacent Hall 50 produces BMW 3,4 and 5 Series cars. A car rolls off the line every 83 seconds in Hall 52, and every 58 seconds in Hall 50. Each hall contains 350-400 stations on three levels: Pre-assembly modules are on the ground floor (level 0) and transported up to level 2, where vehicle assembly is completed and then back down to level 1 for the finishing line.
"All of our cars are built to order, so this presents a challenge," notes CW's guide for Hall 52, head of assembly at BMW Group Plant Dingolfing Robert Küssel. "There is no other auto manufacturing center that has this much complexity." Stopping at one position in the line, an instrument panel is fed up from the ground floor through an elevator. This station's technician walks over and attaches a robot to the completed IP module. He then guides it to a car moving slowly through the line where he places it inside, but the robot does the installation. The whole process is controlled and documented by the equipment. "Parts are sequenced in Logistics in what we call Lineside Supply," says Küssel, "this builds in a lot of flexibility to our assembly lines. We can easily adapt to new parts and new models." He notes the whole building is fed by 200 multi-car material supply train cars per hour.
On the finishing line, cars are tested again for functionality of each subsystem. Transported to the ground floor, they are driven through a short test track to check noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).
A certain number of cars per shift are selected for road testing on a longer test track adjacent to the assembly halls, and a subset of those go out on the highway next to the facility for a longer test. "It's all about quality," says Küssel. "Our customers expect a very high level of quality from us."
CFRP-integrated industrial production
And that is the real story of this plant: Efficiency in manufacturing, yet quality in every detail, despite myriad individually specified components. Carbon parts may be made in their own shop, but they are prepped, joined and painted with all of the other BIW parts into a coherent, well-designed and high-performance platform. CFRP is just another specialty, another complexity, another functionality rolled into what BMW already does so well. It has become standard procedure, but only because the company recognized and addressed challenges early on, in areas as diverse as the carbon fiber supply chain, part processing, isolation from galvanic corrosion, quality control and technician training.
"We use CFRP not just here and there in a visual part to be flashy," says Küssel, "but in a way that adds functionality and performance to the car." Articles in the industry press suggest that BMW will extend CFRP use into new Motorrad motorcycle models and an all-electric i5 crossover SUV expected to be revealed next year and in production by 2019. Upon exiting Plant 2.4, and seeing several camouflaged, pre-production vehicles undergoing tests, CW's question is: "which Dingolfing model will be next?"

Disclaimer: I got this sweet Porn Star sticker and I put it on my laptop. I own that…the sticker not the laptop. Buffy and friends are owned by Joss, Mutant Enemy, 20th Century Fox, The UPN and whoever else has rights to the show.
Summary: Spike's POV is completely fragmented. It's B/S dwelling and B/X in reality.
Distribution: I don't know why anybody would want this, but if somebody does…sure.
Feedback: Definitely!! Tell me if it sucked or if you liked it. Whatever. Just write back!
Authors Note #1: This is a narrative and I wrote it very quickly, which is why there is a lack of complete sentences. Just telling you in case it got confusing. Also you might want to read "Shifting", "Beating", and "Breaking" to get the full affect.
Authors Note #2: Assume that everything, season 1 through 7, is fair game.
Authors Note #3: There have been some requests for a sequel to this "series". This, I hope isn't a let down. I love the Buffy character and despite that I feel that she *would* kiss Spike if she were with Xander. I think that she leads with her heart and it that what it was pulling her towards, she would do it. Hell, she was technically still "with" Spike when Angel came back to town and she kissed him. I also think that Buffy's reaction to her kissing Spike again, right down to her quilt and her decisions on how to deal with it, probably (hopefully) fit the character that ME presented me with. I want people to read this story and to like it, but I understand if that doesn't happen. I think that ME's big theme (despite all the demons) was realism. You don't always like everything about everybody all the time, and even heroes are human. If you feel bad for Xander or any of the characters, good. They were messed up on the show and they're messed up in this story. So love it, hate it, bitch cuz I drop Spike's "h's" cuz it helps get the accent across in a way that I like, whatever :-) But here it is…
This is archived at my group The Unattainable:
Have you ever watched a bloke's heart break?
No…no, not break – that's an understatement. 'ave you ever watched a bloke's heart explode in is chest and shatter? Watched him and pinpointed the exact moment that 'is soul left 'is body?
If not, I highly recommend it. Quite refreshing especially since I've still got that bloody chip in my head I can't physically take a soul. Next best thing though.
Words…just an idle comment that I was fully aware would turn 'is bleedin world on its axis.
"I love you too, Xander."
Two days ago…two soddin days ago that bit…Buffy. Two days ago Buffy told Xander that she loved him. Said it for the first time out loud for me to hear. That's what she wanted – to convince 'erself I would have to be there to hear it. Not real if my acknowledgment doesn't fortify it.
Still, I should have been the second. I was the second. Captain Forehead then me. Riley can sod off because both she and I know that whatever she felt for the tin man was born directly from fear of being alone. Both she and I know that at the end of the day she doesn't want a warm body to cuddle up to. If she did she wouldn't keep coming back. That's why I told 'im – for 'is own good to know.
Sure hearing 'em…listening to Buffy tell 'im that she loved 'im, letting those words accompany 'er actions and get accustomed to exposing it all…all of that…it broke something in me.
That first night the crack formed. Those were *my* words that she just gave to *him*…my heart. I kept my wits, though. Sitting at the top of those stairs for so long listening to the sound of my heart screaming in my mind, that I didn't even hear 'em leave the room. All I remembered was listening carefully for any sounds that might float down from Buffy's room and give away what I knew they were doing.
It was quiet that night, but I could just make out the sound of 'er breathing…and 'is. Panting out in union sometimes, sporadically asymmetrical, others. Found myself outside 'er door. Some devine power forced me up there because I'd claw my own eyes out before I'd go up there on my own.
"I love you." Over and over, chanting to 'im…trying so goddamned hard to give everything of 'erself that one time.
The next day wasn't even hell. My heart didn't break because of what she did. Would never give 'er the satisfaction again. So when I saw 'er that morning I didn't even speak. I stood still and watched 'er move around the, as of yet, empty kitchen.
Usually either she or Xander would get up early to get dibs on breakfast for the two of 'em. I knew it was 'er turn to scavenge before the hoards of 'er mini-me's descended, so I made sure I was waiting.
Didn't even pass me a glance. Just poured 'er juice and buttered 'is toast. I wondered if she felt empty, like me. She was shining in the morning sun while I tried to avoid it, and I wondered if she felt what I did…shame as the night before. For me, shame that I 'ad listened to 'er. For 'er, shame at what brought the night on…that she knew that she needed to tell him that she loved him. Knew that she couldn't hold back like she 'ad done with 'er soldier and cuddle up with the confidence that as long as she kept shagging 'im, everything would be fine. She's lost lovers befire, never friends…anything to not be alone.
Sad really. Living on complete fear like she was, and she couldn't even look up…not at me. She did when Xander clambered down the stairs though. Smiled but didn't let it reach 'er eyes – not in front of me. She wanted to keep me and 'er boy apart, and nither he nor I 'ad a problem with that.
I rolled my eyes at the customary glare, but still said nothing while he said 'is good mornings to 'er. "How are you feeling?" A light brush of the lips. "Are you hungry?" 'is hand on the small of 'er back – shadowning 'er, putting 'imself between 'er and me. If only he knew 'ow close I've been…'ow recently I've been there. I want to tell 'im again while I watch Buffy giggle and shrug away when he kissed 'er neck.
She never giggled for me…
Indifference is my staple…now it hurts because I'm putting up a bloody charade of it. Seething under the smirk. Watching Xander as he shuffled to the fridge scratching 'is bare chest. 'er neck, where he just kissed, I bit. Me. My mouth on 'er, making 'er scream because that's where she wanted it. On 'er first. On 'er forever.
Know that, Xander Harris, while you mention that you want hot chocolate and Buffy sets about playing some sort of twisted Suzie Homemaker and preparing it. Know that everyting that she has ever revealed to you, I 'ad first, can have again, and can have forever…if I so choose.
Buffy's got no choice in the matter because 'er heart gave itself to me silently, and 'er body…much more voraciously. I have it in my power to make it happen again.
"There a problem, Spike?" Xander's voice held no sense of worry at my answer, only a slight bite that was meant to tell me to leave.
"Not at all, mate." I didn't move and matched 'is tone. Watched him watch me cut my eyes over to 'is 'girlfriend' and let them run over 'er body – wearing 'is boxers, obviously, but rolling 'em up to expose 'er thighs on the bottom and 'er waist above.
Buffy felt me…my eyes on 'er, and she tensed with 'er back still to me.
"Just watching our girl."
Xander certainly didn't know what it felt like to feel an intense malaise so blinding that it swallowed your whole existence. He 'ad never *not* felt where Buffy was involved and that was part of being in love…I knew.
That's why Buffy couldn't love 'im. She 'ad felt nothing for him, not like he for 'er…and I…I 'ad 'er innate God given attention. She would always feel for me until she ceased to exist…maybe beyond that.
His eyes snapped, "She's not *our* girl, Spike."
If he was so secure in that fact that much conviction wouldn't be necessary.
"She's *my* girl."
"Sure she is, mate."
He didn't like that either and that made me smile. If he wanted to go toe-to-toe with me over Buffy, I'd tell the boy things about the Slayer that still make me blush. Not out of a heartless evil glee, but because he deserved to know. He shifted to 'is left where Buffy was pretending to be rinsing off silverware, so that I couldn't see 'er.
"Why don't you go fu…"
"Xander." My tarnished savior. She cut 'im off for 'erself more than me because she knew she knew now not to let us square off – knew she was lucky thus far. "Hot cocoa." She held out the mug to 'im with a sickingly sweet pout.
The fact that mortal men fell for that was proof positive as to why they bored 'er out of the relationship so quickly.
"Luv." I smirked at 'er boy and spoke to 'er. "Why don't you make me a cup."
"Why don't *I* so *you* the wonders of getting the morning paper to read with it."
Oh, Xander Harris. The boy will always be an idiot. So sure in the fact that I couldn't hurt 'im. Love can bring back innocence just as surely as hate could destroy it.
"Come now, Harris." I knew that he wanted to punch the smile off of my face, ans Buffy looked almost terrified beside 'im. Wondering what I would say and what he would do. Knowing that she 'ad to intervene for Xander's sake, but knowing that she couldn't for the same reasons. He hated it when she defended me.
"The lil misses doesn't like you mouthing off to me. Hurt my feelings. Tell 'im Buffy."
"Go downstairs Spike."
I smiled because 'er non-answer was plenty affirmative response for me. I stood up and eyed them. Xander was shielding 'er again, and Buffy was letting 'im…she was hiding.
"Should I leave the door open for you, Pet?"
She 'ad controlled me for far too long. It felt good to make 'er sacred again…to know that 'er heart was thundering in 'er chest because of me.
"No." Xander's voice was still very even, a sure sign of annoyance bordering on rage. "Shut it, lock it, put the dryer in front of it…"
"We should talk, Buffy." I cut him off and he looked me dead in the eyes. I dropped my voice to an unnecessary whisper. "…about what happened…"
I caught Xander's questioning glance at my stantement and Buffy's anguished response and I turned to face 'im fully. "Funny thing, mate." I addressed 'im neutrally even though I was celebrating my control again.
Buffy's voice was warning and pleading when she tried to deter me from what she was hoping against hope wasn't coming. I'm beneath 'er…No…she's beneath 'im. She's right on my level. Not good or evil, not darl or light…a mediocre gray.
"Your girl, there, still as a little bit of a thing for the Big Bad."
She sucked in a breath and Xander glared and told me to go to Hell. I told 'im I'd take 'er with me… 'im too when it came down to it. He said that I wasn't going to take 'er anywhere. Funny 'ow he didn't mention 'imself, and the twisted pang of sympathy that I 'ad about what I was doing…but oh, I was going to enjoy it.
He said that if I eever touched 'er again, so help 'im, there wouldn't be enough of me left to fir into a zip-lock.
"What if she touched me?"
Listen to 'is heart stop.
"Spike," Buffy's voice warbled, "Just…"
"Wot?" I'm just letting your Joe Normal know that…" The second she lashed out and hit me…sent me flying back into the refridgerator with a sickening crack, he knew. Xander knew and I heard 'is heart break. I sat up, not in a rage, but quite the opposite.
"Know what?" Xander still wanted to hear it. A sorry glutton for punishment.
"She kissed me." I answered simply. "Isn't that right Slayer?"
'er cheeks were reddening and 'er eyes were wide, close to tears, and I 'ad never felt more alive in 'er pain. "Two days ago, was it? Is this real for you, now, Buffy?"
Xander was looking at 'er and she was crying, but he made no move to consoul.
"Did you love 'im then, pet?" Or do you love 'im now because you knew he'd find out and you thought that would keep 'im. It won't. He's already leaving you. 'is heart exploded and I watched the exact second that it happened…the moment when 'is golden goddess was slain in 'is mind because he knew 'er silence meant that that it was all true – just like when I 'ad told 'in that I 'ad slept with 'er.
I was bathing in their pain and for the first time in months I could really feel again. "Tell your boy, luv. Tell 'im was he knew was coming…that he's not what you want…"
Despite everything that I was saying she reached out to touch 'im through 'er tears.
"I love you…I…"
He pulled away. He fought himself and took a step back from 'er questing finger tips and she jerked away. She could feel 'is disgust as heavily as I could. I was standing beside 'em, watching the carnage I 'ad caused.
My face was throbbing from 'er blow just seconds before, but 'er pain far overshadowed it…made it melt into a sort of pleasure for me.
"…then why?"
The grown man's voice cracked and I *knew* the exact second I took Xander Harris' soul.

Question regarding OHIP coverage In Ontario Canada?
So I'm in need of severe tuberous breasts correction and iknow it's going to be a pricey surgery. I remember looking on someone's post and I came across a Dr. Saying in some cases if you can get a letter from a doctor that OHIP may cover some of the cost. I attached what I read. My question is for any Dr.s in Ontario Canada if they by any chance know if this is true or false ?

Guardian 1.4Mature
Hedron and the older guy, whom I learned was called Molecular left together, talking about patrol while the rest of us headed the same way, Mackenzie guided me to the next building, taking another tunnel to reach it.
We took the elevator up to the second floor, while the others went for the stairs and we arrived in a living room with a huge modular couch, on one side there was an entrance to what looked like a kitchen and the other side held a half dozen doors. Another door on the far side wall of the entrance was marked as 'showers' where Buzzkill disappeared to next to two single bathrooms. The room also held a few computer desks lacking computers and another bit held a pair of lazy boys and filled bookshelves.
"This is our lounge." She declared. "This is where we relax between assignment, do homeworks and stuff."
"Wow." I said, too tired to really give any meaningful thought.
"Why don't you sit down? I'll get something for you to drink and eat."
"Thanks." I was mumbling more than speaking.
She went to the kitchen area and I dragged myself to the couch, sitting or rather crashing down. I closed my eyes for a moment, an arm hanging off the side of the couch. After a moment, I heard a door open and a few seconds later, my hand touched long, silky fur. I absently started petting, the slow repeated movement helped me cool down.
"Oh my god… Paige!" It was Mackenzie.
"Uh?" I said, feeling half awake.
"What are you doing?" She seemed a mix between annoyed and embarrassed, half whispering her words. She nodded toward the end of the couch and I looked. Turns out what I'd been petting for the past minute or two was something that looked like a polar bear that stole a leopard's pelt and then bleached it white, keeping black rings onto it, who also wore black shorts and nothing else. I pulled my hand back.
"I'm sorry B." Mackenzie said, covering her face. "I should have told Paige about you."
"It's okay." B answered in a slow, neutral voice. "I'm used to petting."
"So sorry..." I mumbled a few times. In my chest, my heart was about to explode and my breathing was getting stronger. I wanted to cry, to scream, to do something but instead I clammed up, with everything going on sort of becoming a blur in my mind.
The next thing I knew was that Mackenzie was giving me a hug and B was looking at me looking worried. I wasn't sure how long had passed, but Volley was now here with a tray of food and a pair of cups in his hand.
"Is something going on?" Volley asked.
"I'm pretty sure Paige is having a panic attack." Mackenzie said.
"That happens often?" He asked, looking at me, putting the tray on a table
"Sometimes?" I answered, still dealing with the after effect.
"Do you see a psychiatrist for it?"
"My mom doesn't really believe in that stuff… Plus we couldn't afford it."
As we talked, Kenzie put a warm cup of tea in my hands. I didn't really like tea, but it was warm and nice to hold.
"That's a shame." He noted, shoving a canapé down his mouth. He chewed on it for a moment. "You know, I've been thinking and we really could use someone like you on the team, you have potential. We're missing a good brawler-brick. No offense meant, B."
"None taken." B answered.
"I don't even know what that means, you were shouting those things earlier."
"They're power designation, Brick means you're tougher than normal and brawler means your power makes you dangerous in close combat. We also pegged you as a Schemer; you have some extra sense, enhanced senses or some other cognitive ability. By the look of it, a danger sense, you reacted to Amarok's wolf without being aware of it consciously."
I tried to process all that information. As I did, Buzzkill came out of the shower, his hair still wet and wearing a tee and joggings. I couldn't help but notice that he had somehow gained breasts…
Volley handed him a cup of tea from his tray and Buzzkill seemed happy about it.
"Did you consider joining the guardians program? We have some pull in the system, we could fast track you through the pre-induction training process. It also come with a great medical plan which include in house shrinks."
"My parents probably won't let me." I mumbled. "I asked my mom ages and go and she didn't want to hear any of it."
"That's the one place we can't help, minors under sixteen need parental approval to join the program." Volley said.
"That didn't stop Hedron." Buzzkill answered, taking a long sip of tea.
"You're not supposed to talk about that." Amarok said. I hadn't even noticed her, she was now in one of the lazy boy, sitting indian style on it, a book on her lap. she'd removed her mask, revealing that like Kenzie she was a native Alaskan.
"What happened?" I asked.
"He used his power to blow up a building where mobsters were hiding." Buzzkill said despite his teammate's disapproval. "He got drafted because of it. It's amazing how breaking the law with superpowers throw things like personal and parental rights out the window."
"Do we have to remind you what a gag order means?" Volley asked.
An awkward silence settled in the room for a moment, Volley didn't look too pleased at Buzzkill for spilling information about sensitive topics to me.
"Are you okay?" Mackenzie asked me.
"I think so, just tired. Sorry for making you worry Mackenzie."
"You can call me Kenzie, you know. Everyone does. Are you hungry?" She pointed to a platter with sandwiches she'd brought over earlier.
"Not really, I don't feel like I'd keep any food down." I hadn't eaten since breakfast but I still didn't feel like it.
With the conversation over, everyone sort of dispersed, B was back to being next to the couch laying down in front of an over sized laptop. Amarok was quietly reading a novel, face almost glued to the pages.
Volley and Buzzkill were talking. I took a better look at the latter, if I was to guess, he was from somewhere in southeast asia. I also confirmed that he had in fact had grown breasts.
"You're not wearing a binder." Volley noted, having noticed the same thing I had.
"Who cares? I often don't in the lounge, everyone here knows."
"What about Paige?"
"Touché." Buzzkill said, turning toward me. "Hey Paige?"
"Yeah?" I answered timidly.
"I'm transgender, deal with it." He shouted. "See, that was easy." He then said to Volley, who was covering his face with his palm. Buzzkill seemed like one odd guy...
"Okay…" I mumbled to myself, I didn't really know what someone was supposed to answer to that, it wasn't like I cared. "Your friends are interesting…" I told Kenzie.
"It comes with being superheroes." She said with a grin. "I'm sure you'd fit right in with us."
I wasn't quite sure how to interpret that; she wanted me on her team, but she said I was weird, kind of.
I sat for a moment in silence to recuperate, from both the panic attack and getting my ass kicked by Volley and Amarok.
"Want to go take a walk and get some fresh air?" Kenzie asked me.
It took me a few second to respond. "Sure."
She put her coat on and I followed her down. Rather than take the tunnels, we went into the courtyard, from there I had a better view of the compound. Three buildings stood in a triangular pattern, connected by shallow underground tunnels.
Kenzie probably saw me looking around as she started explaining.
"The front building, the one we came through is the administration, that's where paperwork is handled and stuff, it also has the cafeteria in the basement, Docs on the top floor. The building we just left is the team HQ, the first floor has the armory and the ready room. The second floor is living quarters, Amarok, Bandersnatch, Volley and I stay here, Hedron typically goes home and Buzzkill sometimes stay, sometimes he goes home. Third floor is the briefing room. Finally, the last building is the training room, pool and gymnasium. Oh and there's a lot of classified stuff underground I'm not supposed to talk about."
"This place is pretty cool." I said. "Hey, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Why did you bring me here, like, it could have gotten you in trouble?"
She stopped walking and turned toward me with a smile. "I just wanted to show you a good time." Her expression turned a little more serious. "Last night you told me how lonely you are… I know how that feels. I didn't have a lot of friends growing up, most people didn't see past my disability and the things I couldn't do. Joining the young guardians was the best thing that happened to me, I got to be with people who cared and who like me had always been outsiders. I want you to have that too, even if you can't officially join us."
I wasn't sure if I was happy or sad to listen to her, if I wanted to smile or to cry. I did a little of both and she hugged me so tightly I thought my armor would come out.
"You know, you're the only young guardian I haven't seen in costume. You do have a costume and an ability, right? or are you the token typical friend?"
"My Ingot costume is such a pain to put on, it's really heavy." She said with a smirk. "But it's a small price to maximize my ability. Want to see what I can do? I could tell you, but it's so much less fun."
I nodded and she took out a set of keys from her pocket. She opened her hand they they began floating and spinning.
"I can control metal." She said, her eyes focused on the keys. "Sort of, it's complicated and has a lot of asterix attached. It's a telekinesis based ability, it does not involve magnetism. If it's within my range, that's about eight and a half meters, give or take a few centimeters I can move it as I want. With my suit, I can fly, again sort of. There are other limits, like I can't affect mercury or uranium even if they are metals and I don't know why."
"That's still really cool. Better than what I can do."
"Hey, with a little training you'd be just as amazing."
We hugged again.
"Thanks Kenzie, I mean for everything, I real--" I didn't finish my sentence when my phone rang. I checked who the caller was. "It's my mom, I should probably go home…"
"Alright, let's get you a lift home, we can work on tour divergent history project tomorrow if you want."
"Oh crap, I forgot about that."
"Don't worry, we have plenty of time for it tomorrow."
She fiddled with her before she escorted me to the entrance where the secretary hollered us.
"Molecular asked me to make her sign this." She said, handing me a pad and paper with a pen attached to it.
"What's this?"
"Confidentiality agreement, by signing this you agree not to reveal anything you've learned her including but not limited to; identities or personal information about DDA employees or members of the guardians program, the location, layout or capacity of these facilities and et cetera. You are however allowed to say that you've met the guardians and give opinions but not to share concrete information. Breaking the terms of the agreement will result in criminal sanctions being levied against you." The secretary summed.
I took the pen and signed it.
"What would have happened if I hadn't signed it?" I asked once we walked away.
"If I was to guess; they would have arrested you for trespassing." Kenzie said opening the door to a car that was waiting for me.
They were pretty serious about security.
"See you at school."

Cat's Meow Deceptive On-Line Ordering Website Internet
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Yesterday I went on-line to order 1 Cat's Meow toy for my cat. Their website had an offer to buy one get one free so I selected it. Next it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to the deluxe model for $5 extra, which I did. It asked if I wanted expedited shipping which I declined.
After I entered the order I entered my credit card and shipping details. I clicked the proceed button and expected to be taken to a confirmation page to review the order, just like most reputable companies have. To my surprise it immediately processed the order. What it told me I had purchased were two deluxe Cat Meow's plus two free. Instead of an order costing me $35.89 it billed me $91.78 and I'm being sent 4 toys I don't want.
I strongly advise people not to buy this toy from this website. If a company wants to sell product over the web they should have a review page before you comit to purchasing. Obviously this company has a strategy of tricking customers into buying a lot more toys than the want and hopping they will just accept it.
I can't vouch for the product yet but if you really want to buy one of these buy it from a reputable site like Amazon or Ebay.

Parsley urgently appeals for cash | The Columbus Dispatch
There are 393 comments on the Columbus Dispatch story from Dec 17, 2009, titled Parsley urgently appeals for cash | The Columbus Dispatch. In it, Columbus Dispatch reports that:The Rev. Rod Parsley sat in his cavernous, dark sanctuary and pleaded with his flock via video camera.

#2 Dec 17, 2009
Help save the big empty building? Nope, I don't think so. There's a recession, ya know?
United States
#3 Dec 17, 2009
OMG! This guy is unbelievable and Rod is the the most evil character in OHio. His "flock" are a bunch of turkeys! He lives like a Saudi King! Do the "people" that follow him even have a mind of there own? It is sooooo obvious he is a con-artist crook!
#4 Dec 17, 2009
God will vindicate the righteous. I'm saddened to read such a scathing report from the Columbus Dispatch. Is it a slow news night? Why don't you report about terrorism, or Obama taking us trillions of dollars into debt - the worst debt accumulation of any President to date! Where's the support of our troops at war?
#5 Dec 17, 2009
Yes, direct the spotlight elsewhere while RevRod sells indulgences; something the Catholic Church did a couple hundred years ago to finance their own Glory Palaces. Jane R needs a clue. Maybe Rod will sell her one?
#6 Dec 17, 2009
Pray for Rod before Rod preys on you.
United States
#7 Dec 17, 2009
What the F*ck is wrong with you? DOnt you see how he spends "donations" on himself and lives like a king! Have you seen his "home"? His "clothes, cars and bodyguards? Any respectable "man of god" is not going to be living like a "KING". Think about lady, quit supporting a con-artist...just open your eyes!
#8 Dec 17, 2009
As usual the flock has been FLEECED but there is never enough for the evil fat cat at the top. Just say NO folks and pray directly to a God that needs no earthly interpretation from another scam artist.
#9 Dec 17, 2009
If there be a God, Rod will get his one day... (but from the other guy more than likely)
#10 Dec 17, 2009
Yada, Yada, Yada!
#11 Dec 17, 2009
Hey Parsley, post under your own name, quit trying to hide behind a woman's name.
#12 Dec 17, 2009
Anyone who had built the organization Rod Parsley has built in the secular world would make at least 3x the money in salary and would have equity in the organization as well. You're also showing your ignorance by calling him a con artist. He couldn't be more forthcoming about what he does with the money he raises, whether it be missions, building a television studio or whatever. If you don't like him, say so, but don't just make stuff up.
#13 Dec 17, 2009
Such a wonderful Christian... "send me money, and I'll pray for you." I guess Rod needs fuel for his jet plane, or perhaps the heat got shut off in one of his three houses.
#14 Dec 17, 2009
Perhaps he could sell is million dollar home and his private jet.
#15 Dec 17, 2009
Mr. Parsley is proving himself to be what he really is ... P.T. Barnum incarnate ... nothing more, nothing less. It's just pathetic
#16 Dec 17, 2009
Amazing what the death or Oral Roberts Has stirred up.. This is exactly what he "prayed" for money or his health would be taken by the Lord. At his death he was 91...
#17 Dec 17, 2009
Does this guy have to pay taxes or is he tax exempt? I don't understand how his congregation is ok with the fact that he lives like a king. This world has gone mad.
United States
#18 Dec 17, 2009
His ministry hit upon rocky times in the 1980s. There was controversy over his City of Faith medical center, a $250 million investment that eventually folded, and Roberts' widely ridiculed proclamation that God would "call me home" if he failed to meet a fundraising goal of $8 million. A law school he founded also was shuttered.
United States
#19 Dec 17, 2009
Its called brain washing....
#20 Dec 17, 2009
Quit giving money to the lying fraud, people. Problem solved.
#21 Dec 17, 2009
Yea its kind of like Hank says they want you to send your money to the lord but they give you their address!

Donald clinched the tournament after he won a sudden-death play-off with South Korean Bae Sang-moon and the American pair of Robert Garrigus and Jim Furyk.
The four finished the event locked at 13-under-par, just one stroke clear of another group of four players, on a heavily congested leaderboard.
Donald, who had closed with a bogey-free round of five-under 66, won on the first playoff hole when he drained a birdie putt from less than seven feet after a brilliant approach shot from around 157 yards out of the rough.
The win provided the 34-year-old with his fifth victory on the US PGA Tour and elevated him back to the top of the world rankings.
Donald had been number one until he was passed by McIlroy two weeks ago.
South African Ernie Els led the event for most of the final day before making bogey on each of the last two holes to miss out on the playoff by a shot.

This should paint a good target on this fool. Although, the article comment seem rather welcoming.
This is a discussion on Bloomberg Donating To Terry McAuliffe Campaign within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Michael Bloomberg to buy big for Terry McAuliffe - James Hohmann and Maggie Haberman - POLITICO.com...
This should paint a good target on this fool. Although, the article comment seem rather welcoming.
From article;
The campaign of Republican Ken Cuccinelli, who supports a focus on mental health to reduce gun violence, slammed the ads as out-of-state interference.
McAuliffe and his allies are spending tens of millions of dollars in an attempt to buy Virginia's governor's mansion and impose an idealogical agenda that will severely restrict Virginian's Second Amendment rights, hike energy prices for Virginia families ," said Cuccinelli communications director Richard T. Cullen
Cuccinelli is trailing in the polls, partly because he is getting so massively outspent on television. Groups like Planned Parenthood, the National Education Association and billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer have poured in millions.
"McAuliffe's liberal supporters like Steyer and now Mayor Bloomberg aren't pumping millions into this race for a few laughs," said Cullen. "They're doing so because they expect a return on their investment."
Sounds like Mr. McAuliffe is just another dummy who wasn't paying attention to Colorado the last several months.
You folks in Virginia better be paying attention.
I would rather die with good men than hide with cowards
If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans
Don't ever think that the reason I'm peaceful is because I don't know how to be violent
M&Pc .357SIG, 2340Sigpro .357SIG
I wonder if McAuliffe had to promise to walk around on his knees when meeting with Bloomberg to get his support and money?
You can intepret my remark any way you want, they all work.
"Life is tough but it's really tough if you are stupid"
Maybe the overwhelming support for the Democrat indicated in the polls is more an indication of a rejection of the opposition's rhetoric and dogma than of the amount of money being spent.
"Ideals are peaceful. History is violent."
Don Collier, Fury
Fool and his money is SOON departed,,,, we can hope.
I am heartsick over this. I'll be panic buying.
Carpe Diem
I am a "well regulated" lady!
How anti gun is the Virginia Legislature?
House= 65R, 34D, 1I
Lt. Gov is the tie breaker in the Senate
I am not sure about each R, but I hope the majority are pro-2A and even some Ds.
I really don't think any anti-2A bill would ever reach the gov's desk. If anything, I would just not see any advancement of 2A rights bills because fastTerry would veto them.
Status quo unless we lose the house.
Carpe Diem
I am a "well regulated" lady!
My 2 cents. Should be illegal for a contributor (single or group) to contribute to an election in a state that the organization or contributor does not have a presence in.

... tomorrow so their vacation lasts a few days longer than the rest of us. Zanzibar is supposed to be a beautiful island so I'll just have to make another trip out there. We headed to the airport, and had no issues checking in and getting to the gate. Our journey back to California was going to take more than 24hrs, flying to Dubai to Seattle to SJC.

The highlights of Tanzania were undoubtedly a 4 day excursion to the island of Zanzibar and a pricey but worthwhile visit to Ngorgoro Crater/Serengeti National Park.
Although it was optional, our entire truck participated in the Zanzibar trip. We spent the first day on an informative spice tour in Stone Town where we learned about all the spices that could be acquired from different parts of plants. Then we drove to the site of ...

Product Pricing Based on Exchange Rates
This project received 12 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $250 USD.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project Budget$30 - $250 USD
Total Bids12
Project Description
Our Magento products have two additional attributes:
"Product Base Currency" - the currency which we brought the item in
"Product Base Price" - the cost of the item in the above currency
We need an extension that updates the default "Product Price" field by checking the live conversion rate between store and product base currencies.
There will be two refresh methods: periodically (cron .. every X hours) OR manually (from the admin area). The cron job will check each product and update the product price. Failure reports need to be sent to defined Magento contact.
For example; we import "Gadget X" for $10 USD and perform the following steps on Magento:
We manually configure the following attributes:
"Product Base Currency" = USD
"Product Base Price" = $10
On the product import page we click on a button labelled "Calculate Product Cost". A live conversion is made between "Product Base Currency" and the "Current Store Base Currency". Automatically "Product Price" is updated with the result.
If enabled, a cron task will refresh the "Product Price" every X hours. Product price can also be refreshed manually from admin panel.
The admin panel needs the following options:
- Enabled/disable automatic refresh
- Text box for the number of hours between automatic refresh
- Manual currency refresh button (initiates a manual refresh of all prices)
- Failure report contact (none OR one of the default Magento contacts)
- Success report contact (none OR one of the default Magento contacts)
Special notes:
- Any core changes to Magento extensions must be made on duplicate files in /local/

Amethyst: ^^ Thanks.Mature
I snuck up behind Eveline as she came back into school. She stopped me, and went to her next lesson. "The past hurts, doesn't it...?" I asked her in my mind, knowing she would be in her nexxt lesson, thinking. I looked out with my mind, to see her sat next to Alkali, trying not to glance at him. Her eyes were red and a little puffy.
I sighed, and walked into the library. I plonked myself down on a chair in a corner, and brought my knees up to support my chin. I wanted to help her...so desperatly. I felt a tear slid down my cheek.
"Hey...are you ok?" I looked up, to see a boy I'd never see before. I wiped away my tears, and gave a nod. He shuffled me up, and squeezed into the chair beside e, putting his arm round my shoulder. "You sure you ok? You don't really look to be the sort of girl to cry, if you know what I mean."
"I'm not cryin. I just got something in my eyes." I giggled. He rubbed my shoulder.
"Thing's will get better." he said soothingly.
I smiled softly. "Thanks. I hope they will. And I hope I see you again, my friend!" I said cheerfully. He gave a laugh.
"I trasferred here. I'm most likely in your year, or the year above you."
"Cool! Maybe we'll see a little more of each other."
"I hope so. What's you name?"
"Like this?" he asked, delving into his pocket, pulling out a star shaped amethyst, about the size of a bottle cap. I nodded. He took my hand, placed the amethyst in my palm, and curled my fingers around it.
"Keep it. I always brought me good luck, so I hope it will you." he said, smiling. I edged closer, and gave him a hug. He made a noise of shock, then a tiny laugh, wrapping his arms round me. We let go, a little awkwardly, ad he stood up.
"Well, see you round! I gotta go do some crap P.E." e chortled.
"Wait!" I called standing.
He whipped round. "Yeah?"
"What's your name?"
"Oh! It's Alexander, but everyone calls me Alex or Al."
"Ok, bye!" I said with a cheerful wave. He smiled, and walked out from the library.

KPMG International has announced the formation of KPMG Capital, an investment fund created to accelerate innovation in data and analytics (D&A) that will help clients of member firms unlock tangible value of their big data.
KPMG Capital will support technology partnerships, strategic alliances and the recruitment of top talent to create new D&A solutions. With these capabilities, KPMG member firms will help clients solve critical business challenges in such areas as new revenue streams, risk management and cost optimisation.
The use of D&A has become a critical business priority as companies try to derive value from the vast amounts of data now available to them. A KPMG survey of business leaders found that while 69 per cent see D&A as strategically important to their current growth plans, 96 per cent believe their company is not currently using D&A effectively.
Investment will be made in a number of critical business areas, including enhancing business flexibility; finance; regulation and compliance; improving workforce productivity; and customer and revenue growth. KPMG Capital will work to develop solutions that will focus on growth sectors such as healthcare, financial services, energy and telecommunications.

Welcome to the Ask Alumni network. Ask Alumni allows you to contact current students and graduates of City University London for e-mentoring. For example you can contact alumni who are working in your intended industry or for a company for which you would like to work, allowing you to enhance your professional network and gain top tips for professional success.
Our Ask Alumni graduates are volunteers who have agreed to be available to be contacted by both current students and other City Alumni. This ranges from providing general advice by email and over the telephone to work shadowing, dependent on the availability of the volunteer. Please be aware that the main objective of Ask Alumni is to provide advice and information; not jobs.
To access the Ask Alumni service, you will first need to register. Once you have registered, you can then create your profile and browse our e-mentor database. You can also link your profile with your LinkedIn account to make setting up your profile even quicker.
Once you are logged in, you can browse through the e-mentor database by refining your search related to industry and also the type of guidance each volunteer is willing to offer, such as advice via telephone, work shadowing etc. You can also search using the world map, showing our e-mentors abroad if you happen to be living outside the UK or are thinking of gaining experience in a different country. Then simply message your selected volunteer with your questions and queries.
Once you have established a connection with an e-mentor, you must remember to make the most of them! Identify the key areas of information you require so your volunteer knows exactly how they can help you. Do not ask directly for a job, internship or project and "spamming" e-mentors is not allowed through this service. Be professional and avoid use of abbreviations or txt language.
Do you want to share your career expertise and work experience with a budding young student or fellow alumnus? Volunteering can help individuals to realise their potential and give them a valuable insight in to the world of work. The amount of time and what advice you are willing to volunteer is entirely up to you.

"Steve Earle," he said to the singer/songwriter he had invited to his execution, "I can't believe I had to go through all this just to see you in a suit."
Six months after he watched the man with whom he had corresponded for 12 years die, the Earle is still scarred by the experience. When he plays Cheltenham Town Hall with the Del McCoury Band tonight, "Jonathan's Song" will not be on the set list; the cold cruelty of what Nobles' death certificate described as "Homicide" still overwhelms him.
Earle had been to hell and back before he realised that there were other, worse places to end up in the richest nation on earth. More than two decades of drug addiction had resulted in a 1994 spell in a Tennessee prison, but when film director Tim Robbins sent him a tape of Dead Man Walking, the man responsible for the classic albums, Guitar Town and Copperhead Road, was shaken to the marrow. "Ellis Unit One" was inspired by a scene where a guard says that his role in the death chamber is strapping down the left leg. "They have to compartmentalise it," says Earle, "because the human spirit cannot cope with sole responsible for the taking of human life."
Earle had been a death penalty activist during the Eighties, before drugs took over his life, and that was when he first started writing to Nobles. But after Dead Man Walking he became committed to the cause. He received the letter from Nobles asking if he would witness his execution on 7 October 1998. He agreed, if reluctantly, and on the appointed day found himself watching Jon begin to sing "Silent Night"; the executioner's signal to start the lethal injection.
"When he reached the line `mother and child', all the air went out of his lungs and he gave a shout: `Huh!'" Earle says. "It looked like an invisible cinder block had been dropped on his chest, his head hit his chest so violently that his glasses, a pair of heavy, plastic prison issue glasses, flew off. Five minutes later, he was pronounced dead."
Nobles never pretended to be innocent. He had stabbed two young women to death in their beds and was, in Earle's words, "an escalating serial killer who just happened to get caught first time". But for Earle, the fight for an end to the death penalty is not about guilt or innocence, but about those who have no voice. There are no yuppies on Death Row; 90 per cent of those sentenced to die in the US are literally the poorest of the poor; too destitute to afford expensive legal representation. To spend even a day on the "Journey of Hope" - a two-week tour of Tennessee in the company of relatives of murder victims or Death Row inmates - was, for me, to be convinced beyond doubt that brutality followed by barbarism can never result in healing.
Lois Robison, for example, was refused help for her schizophrenic son because he hadn't shown signs of violence. When he did, he killed five people and is now on Death Row. George White was jailed for life for the murder of his wife, despite the fact that he was shot three times, along with her, in an armed robbery. He was freed after two years and 103 days when an appelate court found his trial to be "a mockery, a sham and a circus."
All "Journey" members have had their lives intrinsically altered by violence, and yet the message behind their campaign last month was one of love and reconciliation. "This death penalty thing is a false promise," White said. "We're promised that, at some point down the road, the taking of another human being's life is going to heal our pain. What a lie."
The most commonly invoked argument is biblical - an eye for an eye - but, campaigners point out, the Old Testament advocates 22 other sins deserving of death, including adultery and working on the Sabbath. In a nation that is big on religion but bigger on denial, 78 innocent people have been sentenced to death since 1977.
On the day that two boys shot 15 of their classmates in Colorado, Earle moved a crowd to tears with "Ellis Unit One". Afterwards, White told them of his own nightmare. "We say that an act of violence should not be followed by an act of vengeance," he said emotionally. "We say, not in our names. Our hearts have bled enough."

The internet, with its sprawling applications, can be confusing – whatever your age. For those in their seventies and eighties it can particularly alienating, as their children and grandchildren increasingly communicate on a medium they may struggle to use.
Sydney-based start-up Tapestry hopes to fix this problem with a primarily tablet-based application that simplifies email, photo sharing and internet browsing. It also has a weather feature.
Tapestry has received $600,000 in seed funding from investment group Sydney Angels and some individual investors, including ResMed founding investor
"Everyone has a grandmother or parents who struggle with technology," Tapestry founder Andrew Dowling says. Tapestry's philosophy is to simplify programs, remove functions that are not in use and make the digital interface more user-friendly, with larger fonts and less cluttered design.
The business began in 2010, based in Dowling's house, and now has a team of five based in a co-working space in Ultimo. Tapestry's software opened to the public last week, following trials with senior users.
Seven senior residents of the Carlingford Wesley Mission, aged 74 to 83, were selected to trial the software for six weeks, finishing in August. "Not a single one of them felt that they were comfortable with technology," Dowling says. After the trial, four of the group went on to buy tablets and subscribe to a monthly Tapestry plan, the costs of which range from $5 to $15 per month.
One of them, Shirley, 83, began the trial saying she had poor internet skills. But she was soon using the program to email her family and receive photos. She even became something of an addict for online games. "She was playing [online] scrabble with her grandkids on a daily basis," Dowling says.
The company is looking to partner with aged-care homes to encourage the roll-out of Tapestry's software. "Our challenge is to get a tablet into people's hands," he says.
