Good to hear you are do-ING well. I actually thought I had sent you an email several months ago with a question or too but I have a new system that has yet to have the old stuff loaded?? I am not sure if I am going to make it out your way soon but hopefully some time. Who knows though if Marie decides to get her jet within the next year, actually it is now within the next 9 months, well then it could be sooner than I thought. It is just a matter of space and time.

Right now I am in the process of writing up a storm and who knows it might reach your way before I get there, i.e. Microsoftyword travels fast. Keep the engine warmed up though because some of the stuff I have to say may not go down all that well with sum but I wouldn't worry too much since they are really only my thoughts and equations DNA everyone is entitled to disagree but it all comes at a price. I am assuming you have been following my other emails, and what EmanANDdog is backwards as in right to left? So what do you think of Professor Klein and my interaction the other day.

Now I assume you have been checking in from time to time with Nextraterrestrial.com?

I think you and I would probably only disagree on the role of "audirtors" [sic] who try to have it both ways. The system, in my opinion, was flawed from the "ghet-g-to" [sic]. If management cant be trusted to keep a straight set of books and today we have programs like quicken that automatically put debits on the left credits on the right and with one push of a button one has all the financial reports, how can auditors be blamed when their other half, the consultants need to make ends meet; in other words why have auditors and not simply cops with eyes in every office just like they have in their speedsters, recording everything that goes on in meetings, each time someone opens their mouth, each time their is a nod and a wink which are then backed up into a secure "independent" location, easily retrievable at another push of the "butt-em" [sic] if and when there is a need to call someone to task?

Can you imagine if we had cameras at Carmel College in each classroom and hall, library etc and when someone like Gunter Lazarus came strutting in telling us what and what not to do, always promoting the text of the Nazi Government, "If there wasn't a Black problem in this country there would be a Jewish problem" telling us as we went about our daily rituals, prayers and all, in so many words:

Listen up dodo heads do as I say or the high-way...you didn't know that the Dodos are one of the largest shoe people in the country and that we Non Ferrous Metals, commonly known as N-FM are at the tail end of the line to kick your butts you bunch of well-heeled wimps and of course we will provide stereo music as we point you all in the direction of a fall; you all know of course we are responsible for the Blue Train and for that matter the new coaches that you all travel on when touring other schools around the country that we have lookouts everywhere making certain you get the best and safest coaches; and yes of course we will hire "joyim" [sic] to whip you into shape if you don't behave, if your impish parents are not man and women all built into one, yes take a look at my tits and belly to boot; of course there are times we direct the old coaches to our furnaces and yes sometimes we also say "hi-jack" as we stick it to one of the kaffirs trying to get a free ride below the platforms in between the wheels; it is grueling stuff but if you stay in shape, play squash you can handle anything in the heat of the night and by the time we are finished with our all metal dirty deeds those of us in good shape will have already returned to base and when the question is asked, 'What train?' we are reading a "lu-lie-by" to the kids; butt then we pay back the government in kind along with our buddy Phillip Frame who finances them on weekends while we provide the brown paper bag lunches during the week days with cash to boot...You didn't get all that, whats your problem, are you doing dagga; what sort of Gip-sy are you, were you raised in a pigsty; it "seams" [sic] I will need to have a little chat with your parents who should by now know how to stick to their knitting, they will get the full brunt of my frontal attack, this physic is not all show; I may not look great on a ramp but I sure know how to give it on the rump; by now my edict should have been clearly understood and your parents should know better than to use you children to challenge me and my Nationalist politics; don't just sit there get moving; if you want a job when you get out of here, if you want cash in your pocket if all hell were to break loose when the kaffirs come looking for you lilly white skin, who do you think would be there for you, the folks from SAIC?... Don't play funnybuggers with me I said exactly what I mean, if I meant those wimps from South African Clothing Industries I would have said SACI but I was talking about the American defense contractor known as Science Applications International Corporation, so get with the program and yes this is boot camp... okay you got the message and you now just have a headache, then go ahead take two aspirin and call me or one of my liberal-berated-heralded lawyers in the morning if you still have a hangover. Now lets bench the rest for later, La Chaim La Chaim to life, God Almighty free at last free at last thank you Lord free at last, Heil Hitler."

Jeff, could you explain to me why a publicly traded company should be valued any more than a private company?

Hi there, and nice to get an email from you.

I am a client service partner in the audit division in financial services.
I have 2 major clients where I spend most of my time and then two others
where I spend a bit less. The major ones are AMP (which is the largest
local financial services company in AUssie) and which you may not have
heard of , and ING which Im sure you have heard of. In addition I do some
work for Westfields which you may recognise in the USA context as theyve
been buying shopping malls all over the USA. The last client I work with
is 6 Continents which is a big hotel chain having intercontinental, holday
inns, crown plaza etc.

My role has changed somewhat as for around 4 years I was the business unit
leader for financial services (ie responsible for the results and a very
admin intensive role), and I was then promoted or demoted to a pure client
services role which is where Im am at. We are busy integrating Andersons
here in Aussie and trying to deal with all the negative sentiment against
auditors, audit failures etc. Its easy to feel that we do not get paid
enough for this shit but there are many who would argue that we get paid
too much I guess.

Weve been building a house for around 9 months and hope it will be ready in
around 2 months time. it is exactly nex t door to the previous house we
owned but in a better position as its on the cliffs of Dover Heights
looking out to the Pacific. Are you ever going to get on a plane and come
visit in AUstralia? You would trully love the place given your love of
water, outdoors etc. You should make the trip one day if you have the
time and inclination.

The kids are growing up fast Talia is writing matric in 2 months and Orin
is 14 and getting ready to go to a bush school camp for 6 months. It is
compulsory at his school and they reckon it makes men of the boys, lots of
outdoor actifvities, abseiling, hiking, canoing,riding etc plus schooling
etc all designed to teach independence, confidence, teamwork, and
individuality. In addition they guarantee the boyswill keep their room
clean for a year afterwards so if that is true then it will be money well
spent.

I dont know whether you keep up with rugby at all or get to see any, but I
go whenever I can anc have seen most of the big games played in Suydney
over the last 10 years. I am a split voter as I love the wallabies but am
still a springbok supporter!

What else can I tell you - oh yes Ive had my mid life crisis and have
bought a sports car after so many years with a sedan. I still remember in
San Diego going in your fiat sports in winter freezing cold with the roof
down and the heater on!! ANyway Ive bought a 3litre BMWZ3 - I think its
called the shark in the USA? ANyway its great fun to drive and goes like a
rocket.

thats it for now, would like to catch up again as soon as you return the
email. cheers
