Getting Toxicated
... the water next to our hostel it wouldn't've been a question of IF I'd gotten infected, but WHAT I would get infected with. Travel luck really seems to be on my side so far. With that in mind I settled for a purified water shower, and made sure all my meals were non-fish based. The only toxins I want are alcohol based. Speaking of which, I had 5 liters of tequila from Tequila I needed to break into.

With a baroque styling it was full of detailed work that is pretty much unfathomable in today's world.

The pier was getting crowded with people getting ready to go out in a ceremony on the ocean consisting of several boats adorned with flowers, balloons, and candles or various lights, proceeding in line to honor the dead. I had been invited to go out with some friends to take part in this beautiful ceremony, and as darkness had fallen and the rain slowed down to a mere drizzle, we headed out onto the dark ocean.

to get some stuff to finish a few carpentry projects around the house.
I saw this stuffed back in a corner with a $250 tag on it...
I can fit 4 buckets, or doin the math up to 12 cornies. I was so stoked to get this puppy home.
This really is an insane hobby.
I think the 1/2 barrel swill-erater (PBR) just blew.
I've got to start keeping one eye out for a replacement...on the bright side, I've already got a cheezer for ferment/storage.
Yeah, I was expecting a huge chest freezer.
24x32x64 hmmmmm.........
Nope it works! one shelf halfway and L connections on top. Good Find!
I got one of these, bought it from my schools surplus sale for $10 I can fit 6 corneys in it and 4 cases of bottles. I only got four taps on it, but its a challenge to keep them full
I wish I could have 12 cornies + taps on my fridge, I'd have more styles of beer on tap than any bar in town!

Young Money - Every Girl
Artist: Young Money
Featuring: Lil Wayne, Drake, Jae Millz, Mack Maine
Producer: Tha Bizness
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 163 votes )
In this past decade, many of the biggest names in hip-hop have elected to showcase their crew with an all-star compilation album. (Jay-Z, Ja Rule & Irv Gotti, 50 Cent, Ludacris, The Neptunes, and T.I. have been prime examples). As the top name in the rap game today, Lil Wayne has finally gotten to work on a comp album for his Young Money Entertainment. While neither a title nor a release date has been announced, the Booth proudly presents the first record from that album. Showing their desire for Every Girl in the world are Weezy, Drake, Jae Millz, Squad Up frontman Gudda Gudda, and Mack Maine. With the proper radio editing, Every Girl could be the single that gets all of the collaborators their time in the spotlight (and believe me, some of them have been waiting a VERY long time).

Leafs Lose To 5-2 To Detroit
Jeff Veillette (Jeffler)
September 27 2013 11:13PM
The Leafs played game nine of their ten game preseason tonight. As such, we saw a close to full roster - one that was missing Phil Kessel to suspension, and Fraser McLaren to injury, but was essentially what we'll see on opening night. The final game will feature a duller roster, to say the least; a final look at players who's fates are unknown, and ability to rest. In the meantime, this was maybe the first real look at the 2013/14 Toronto Maple Leafs.
...but it wasn't a particularly good one. Chalk it up to jitters, lack of chemistry, small sample sizes, whatever you want, but the Detroit Red Wings walked away with a convincing 5-2 victory.
Cody Franson Signs 1-Year Deal
Jeff Veillette (Jeffler)
September 26 2013 07:01AM
The Toronto Maple Leafs may have started the offseason's cap management in a way that makes one want to pull their hair out, but appear to have come through in the eleventh hour, signing Cody Franson to a 1 Year, 2 Million dollar contract.
Odds are, if you agree with this site even occasionally, you're doing cartwheels at your desk right now, but let's break this down a bit anyway.
Tyler Biggs Scores Awesome Goal In Marlies Practice
Jeff Veillette (Jeffler)
September 24 2013 05:51PM
Another day, another practice at Toronto Marlies training camp. The roster is now at 17 skaters, and drills have become more team-based instead of individual as they near a pair of preseason games against Hamilton (what an original opponent!). Particularly interesting, personally, was the spin around faceoff drills, but I'll talk about that and include lots of pics in another post.
What you need to see, though? This goal from Tyler Biggs, scored as a few players goofed around after the scheduled end of practice:
Phil Kessel Suspended 3 Games
Jeff Veillette (Jeffler)
September 24 2013 04:50PM
As we all know, Phil "Trill" Kessel took his beloved "hackey" a little too literally on Sunday, going full Lumberjack/Jedi on John Scott's completely oblivious ankles. We noticed it, the Sabres noticed it, and NHL Player Safety certainly did, suspending Kessel for the rest of the preseason.
20/20 Hindsight - The Brawl
Jeff Veillette (Jeffler)
September 23 2013 04:14PM
Did you know that the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Buffalo Sabres played a hockey game last night? That Phil Kessel scored two goals? That Jake Gardiner and James Van Riemsdyk both had successful efforts that made their opponents look like ragdolls? The Leafs almost blew a 4-1 lead (sorry), but ultimately won in front of the home town fans. However, nobody cares about that. The focus? A highly controversial line brawl.
At first glance, it was extremely entertaining, even if you aren't huge on the idea of fighting in hockey. I hate staged fighers and goons, but even I checked that to the door and was scared of blinking and missing even a millisecond as everything unfolded. As the dust settles, there's been a lot of controversy over a bunch of the small moments, and I try to break it all down, from both perspectives.

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals' Paul Fanaika on RG competition: 'I definitely have that attitude that it's mine to lose'
At age 28, Paul Fanaika admits he's a simple man.
"Work, family and football," said Fanaika when asked Saturday what he enjoys doing.
Last season must have been a very fulfilling one for the former ASU standout then, as he started all 16 games at right guard for the Arizona Cardinals after spending parts of three seasons on the practice squads of the Cleveland Browns, Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks and Washington Redskins.
It's a role he hopes to play again with Arizona in 2014.
Although the San Mateo, Calif. native is not the most boisterous of characters, he was candid in regards to the fact that he takes his right guard competition with second-year pro Earl Watford very seriously.
"I take a lot of pride in that," said Fanaika. "It's my job. I want to keep it. I want to be the best at my job. I definitely have that attitude that it's mine to lose."
In his eyes, his experience battling in the trenches during the Cardinals' 10-6 campaign can't hurt his case, either.
"It definitely feels good to have a year of experience in the system," said Fanaika. "You start to understand it better. You see things develop a lot faster. It allows you to play faster and smarter."

The microbial population in the air of the New York City subway system is nearly identical to that of ambient air on the city streets. This research, published ahead of print in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology, establishes an important baseline, should it become necessary to monitor the subway's air for dispersal of potentially dangerous microbes. Also, the combination of new methodologies in the study, including fast collection of aerosols and rapid sequencing technology, provide an efficient means for monitoring which was not previously available.
The results "are strong testimony for the efficiency of the train pumping system for ventilation," says principal investigator Norman R. Pace of the University of Colorado, Boulder. The wind one feels while walking across a subway grate as the subway clatters beneath also demonstrates just how effective that system is, he says. The only obvious differences in the subway's microbial population are the somewhat higher proportion of skin microbiota, and the doubled density of the fungal population, which Pace suggests may be due to rotting wood. "I was impressed by the similarity of [subway] and outdoor air," he says.
The researchers used a high tech mechanism to collect air at around 300 liters per minute (L/min), a big jump on the previous state of the art, which swallowed 12 L/min. That enabled collecting sufficient volume of air—a couple of cubic meters—to take the bacterial census within 20 minutes, instead of after "hours," says Pace. And analysis by sequencing is far faster and more thorough then using culture.
Pace notes that until now, the microbial content of subway air was unknown, and that the microbiology of indoor air is an emerging field of scientific inquiry. His research was funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, through its Microbiology of the Built Environment program, which has made 64 grants totaling $28 million to date.
"While it is difficult to predict what will be discovered on the frontier of scientific inquiry, the opportunity exists to better understand these complex microbial ecosystems and how they affect health and the environment. We expect that someday this knowledge will influence design and construction practices and other industrial processes," says Paula Olsiewski, program director, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

Out-of-this-world comfort and response.
It'll be love at first step when you slip your foot the Nike Men's LunarENDOR Snowboard Boot and swoon over its responsive, yet supremely-comfy feel. It also has a customizable flex which means it can handle everything from the steep powder runs to steep handrails.
Inserts with two different levels of flexibility allow you to fine-tune the flex to exactly how you want it. Put in the stiff inserts when you're going huge in the park or charging steeps, go for the medium ones when you're planning on doing a little bit of everything, or rock it without inserts for a soft flex when you feel like jibbing. Inspired by Nike's Free sole on its top-of-the-line running shoes, the sole is very stiff from toe-to-heel for lightning-quick response, yet flexible from side-to-side for superior board feel. Neoprene flex zones allow you to tweak grabs and lay into turns without sacrificing support. The liner is heat-moldable for a custom fit, and internal liner lacing keeps your heel locked in to reduce fatigue.
Space blanket technology under the footbed reflects heat back to your foot to help it stay warmer for longer. A Zoom Air heel cushion absorbs harsh impacts to protect your feet from big drops and overshot landings. Traditional lacing with Lace Lock allows you to independently adjust the tightness of the upper and lower zones of the boot so you can dial it in just how you like it.
- Customizable flex
- Traditional lacing with Flywire

Venezuela court decisions shake up 2 small parties
CARACAS, Venezuela Venezuela's Supreme Court has issued decisions shaking up the leadership of two small political parties, potentially preventing them from backing opposition presidential candidate Henrique Capriles.
The court's decisions, which call for immediate changes to the leadership of the parties Podemos and PPT, drew a sharp rebuke on Friday from one prominent party leader as well as criticism by the opposition.
Ismael Garcia, who was pushed aside as leader of Podemos, blamed President Hugo Chavez for the court's actions.
"The government isn't going to expropriate us," Garcia said in a televised speech as supporters cheered, saying party members still back Capriles regardless of the court's ruling.
Capriles condemned the legal decisions, saying that Chavez's government is resorting to desperate tactics to keep the two parties from supporting his candidacy. Both used to be pro-Chavez but have moved to the opposition.
Chavez's critics have repeatedly accused the president of wielding undue influence over the judiciary and using it to go after his adversaries. Chavez has denied those accusations.
"They're judicial tricks, the use of power to politically favor one option," Capriles said Friday in an interview with the TV channel Venevision. "Why does the court have to be deciding on organizations and political parties?"
In the case of Podemos, Capriles said, "in the end the decision is to prohibit them from nominating Capriles as candidate for president. That was the only objective of that decision."
Capriles had said Thursday on Twitter that most members of the two parties will remain with him regardless of the decisions.
The Supreme Court said in a statement on its website Thursday that it had decided to recognize former pro-Chavez state governor Didalco Bolivar as the leader of Podemos, rather than established leader Garcia, a vocal government critic.
A similar ruling in the case of PPT was announced by the court on Wednesday. It voided the party's most recent internal elections, which were carried out in October, and ordered it to hold new elections within 90 days.
The decisions could prevent the parties from backing Capriles before a Monday deadline for parties to specify the presidential candidate they will support.
Podemos broke with Chavez's government in 2007. PPT, which in Spanish stands for Fatherland For All, similarly has irked Chavez's government by defecting from its camp.
On the ballot in Venezuela, candidates' photos typically appear along with the symbols of parties that back them.
"We're the face of Podemos, and if you all put the faces of your political hit men and yours there... that will only be rejected by the people," Garcia said. "We represent it and you're not going to be able to change that."
The court's decisions drew criticism from others as well. Gustavo Hernandez Acevedo, a blogger writing on the website Caracas Chronicles, said the ruling "showcases just how far Hugo Chavez is willing to go to punish those he sees as traitors."
In the case of Podemos, the Supreme Court said in a statement that it had decided to review an earlier decision by its Electoral Chamber, which in March had denied a challenge by Bolivar to an agreement by party leaders to postpone internal elections.

Invisible Money Clip, It Really Does Work (video)
When we received the "invisible money clip" email last night we couldn't help but naw at our lips with skepticism. However, it would seem as though they have a viable and worthwhile product.
Now, if you're like us you're wondering how this amazing piece of gear could possibly work effectively. Does it use magnets? How does it stay attached? Here in lies the rub: you have to sacrifice a bill, as in a dollar bill. The device sticks, with adhesive, to a bill and thus turning it into the money clip itself. Pretty ingenious actually. The product video is a bit annoying, though the mustache girl is pretty darn cute and charasmatic considering.
You can grab one for $10.

DULUTH | Mark Richt said he thinks his football team will be good this fall.
The problem, he admits, is that everyone else in the SEC will be good, too.
"I think we are going to be very good," the 14-year coach said Tuesday night. "The problem in our league is that everyone is going to be very good."
Richt's Bulldogs and South Carolina are considered the two favorites to win the SEC East this fall, which means one of the two could be in a winner-take-all game in the SEC Championship to advance to the new College Football Playoff, which starts this season.
Richt said in order to get to the SEC Championship Game Georgia will have to play well in close games.
'ÄúYou have to win the close games,'Äù Richt said. 'ÄúWe have won a few close ones and lost a few – we'Äôve had too many close ones quite frankly.'Äù
Eight of Georgia's games last season were decided on the last drive of the game. Two of those eight games came when new starting quarterback Hutson Mason took over for an injured Aaron Murray at the end of the 2013 season. Mason is one of the few question marks for the Bulldogs coming into the season.
"I think we are in a situation with the skill that's around Hutson, I think he doesn't have to carry us," Richt said. "I think he has to be wise throwing the football."
The biggest question mark for Georgia this fall, however, is the defense. New defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt inherits a defense that is strong up front, but is dealing with transition in the secondary. Richt said he'Äôs comfortable with the skill of the secondary – just not the experience of that group.
"I think that we will have enough of a talent base. The experience level is the thing you have to be a little bit concerned about. If we are wise enough to call more defenses than they are capable of doing then we will be OK," Richt said. "If you put scheme ahead of execution you are going to get beat. The goal is to be able to execute."
Georgia's execution failed them in the secondary in 2013. The prime example was Auburn's game-winning Hail Mary in the Tigers' 43-38 win. Georgia also struggled on third down — ending the season ranked 66th nationally in that critical statistic.
In other news basketball coach Mark Fox said that he was "as disappointed as I have ever been" in dismissing starter Brandon Morris from the program on Monday. Morris was arrested on a felony charge of marijuana possession with intent to distribute Sunday morning.
"It was heartbreaking," Fox added. "It really was a tough, tough deal."
Although Morris has proclaimed his innocence, Fox said that Morris would not return to the Bulldogs.
"Whatever he said publically — I pray that he can work things out in his life — but he's not on our team. That's not in the plans," Fox said.

Two-Year-Old Boy Ridiculed With Gay Slur For Wearing Pink Headband at Walmartby Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
Katie Vyktoriah recently took her son, Dexter, to Walmart wearing her pink headband. Being two years old, Dexter does things like this at times. Cute and harmless, right?
You would think, but what resulted from this was nothing short of disturbing.
Recalling this surprising, sad ordeal on Facebook - an account later shared with the Huffington Post - she said Dexter is just like any other little boy.
He likes Batman and Superman and pretending he can fly, and occasionally wearing his mom's headbands, because he's two and why the heck not?
Because he was happy - and because she was also wrangling a five-month-old - Katie let Dexter wear her pink headband. He was enjoying it, after all.
"He rocked that headband," said Katie, unwilling to rock the boat after getting her two kids into a shopping cart with no issues - a feat in and of itself.
Then the unthinkable happened:
"'As we passed through the produce section, two teenage girls began giggling and one of them asked, 'Is that a boy or a girl?' I smiled and said, 'He's a boy.'"
"I looked on at him adoringly as they continued to giggle. Out of nowhere a big booming voice rang out. 'THAT'S a BOY?!'"
"The man was overly large with a bushy beard and a camouflage shirt with the arms cut off. He had tattered shorts and lace-up work boots with no laces."
"I could smell the fug of cigarette smoke surrounding him, and there was a definite pong of beer on him. 'Yes,' I said simply, still smiling."
"With no notice, the man stepped forward, grabbed the headband off of Dexter's head and threw it to the bottom of our shopping cart."
"He then cuffed Dexter around the side of his head (not hard, but that is not the point) and said with a big laugh, 'You'll thank me later, little man!'"
"At the same time as I stepped forward, Dexter grabbed his head where the man had smacked him and threw his other hand forward, stomping his foot and shouting, 'NO!'"
"I got between my son and this man and said very firmly, 'If you touch my son again, I will cut your damn hands off.'"
"The guy snarled, looked at Dexter with disgust and said, "Your son is a f*cking fa***t." He then sauntered out, but not before he threw over his shoulder, 'He'll get shot for it one day.'"
Unbelievable and nauseating, right? For the aftermath of the encounter, and the mother's commentary, follow the link for Katie Vyktoriah's full story.

I could not have held my composure. I would've picked something up and knocked him in the fucking head and then called the cops on his ass.
Not his child, not his business. I would have had him arrested for assaulting my 2 year old. If a female wears striped shirts or flannels does that automatically make her a lesbian??? Gimme a break!
This story is fake. It's a hoax. Mommy blogger Katie Vyktoriah made this up for blog traffic. She did it to make money.
I don't understand how major media outlets can post this story as truth. A quick Google search reveals her history of online lying and gross behavior. Huffington Post must know by now that this is a scam, and yet they keep deleting all comments that are skeptical of the story. Not only are they failing to report the news accurately, HuffPo is suppressing the truth entirely. Maybe they don't want to look stupid for falling for it?
WHat's wrong with these people! I wore pink when I was wrestling...
Bret...dude, I could be wrong but a lot of wrestlers (over the years) have worn pink (wrestling attire or whatever)...I think. Anyway, Bret...take care, bro. Peace.
This story is total BS! Katie Vyktoriah is an attention-starved pathological liar. Watch "mundanematt" youtube video, and google her name for more of her fabricated stories - like how she supposedly witnessed a murder, and she was supposedly kidnapped, and a bunch of other baloney!
After reading the description of the guy, it all makes sense. Drunk, ignorant, inconsiderate white trash.
this REALLY showcases the ignorance of some people...sad.
Too funny--I hear that a lot wear pajamas and a lot of crazies shop there, so they can make fun of a little child? lol I won't shop there because of their "slave" tactics. Peace.
Well... Can't have everything! Should of just gone to Target! xD Surprised she use Google+ to brag about her story... Come on right? I bet she also has an HTC phone, I mean she could of just started recording right there and now :)

John Roberts's White House Memos Offer Opinions on Supreme Court
For those seeking clues to the judicial philosophy of John G. Roberts, documents from his years as a lawyer in the White House counsel's office during the Reagan administration provide revealing evidence. in 1983, Mr. Roberts addressed a proposed constitutional amendment setting a 10-year term of office for federal judges. The Justice Department opposed the measure on the ground that life tenure was critical to judicial independence. Mr. Roberts did not disagree, but noted that the framers had adopted life tenure at a time when life expectancy was significantly shorter. He then made an argument in favor of limited terms. "Setting a term of, say, 15 years would ensure that federal judges would not lose all touch with reality through decades of ivory tower existence," Mr. Roberts wrote. "It would also provide a more regular and greater degree of turnover among the judges."

Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) power, in either pure fusion or fission-fusion hybrid reactors, is a possible solution for future world's energy demands. Formation of uniform layers of a condensed hydrogen fuel in ICF targets has been a long standing materials physics challenge. Here, we review the progress in this field. After a brief discussion of the major ICF target designs and the basic properties of condensed hydrogens, we review both liquid and solid layering methods, physical mechanisms causing layer nonuniformity, growth of hydrogen single crystals, attempts to prepare amorphous and nanostructured hydrogens, and mechanical deformation behavior. Emphasis is given to current challenges defining future research areas in the field of condensed hydrogens for fusion energy applications.

Illustration by Virpi Oinonen.
This is a guest post from Russel Cooke who works as a journalist and content creation expert in Los Angeles.
As any freelance content creator will tell you, a brand guideline handbook is an indispensable part of any well-organized creation process. Writers need a glossary of terms, designers need color schemes and font guidelines, and photographers need leadership on tone and mood. But there's one subset that always seems to be forgotten in these books: illustrators.
So what's is an illustrator to do? Many brands don't ever consider the creation of illustrations when drawing up their brand guidelines, maybe because they don't anticipate the need, maybe because they don't anticipate that illustrators will need them. But they do. So how do you manage illustrations when they don't appear in the brand guidelines? We've assembled some key questions to ask when dealing with this difficult topic.
When is an illustration necessary?
Since people began publishing content, there has naturally been the drive to find out which content appeals most effectively to the masses. When deciding if an illustration is the right kind of visual accompaniment to a piece, it's important to consider the topic. Is an illustration appropriate? Some brands deal with serious and sensitive issues like health, disease, or politics. In this case, it's best to exercise caution. It's possible that an illustration might not be the best way to explain something. Due to illustration's association with comic books and children's cartoons, using an illustration on a serious topic might appear flippant or even disrespectful.
However, when attempting to explain a complicated topic, an illustration can make the difference between comprehension and utter bafflement. When dealing with a topic that requires a lot of abstract concepts, an illustration can save the day. A comic's ability to represent abstract, confusing ideas visually can be exactly what's necessary to help the audience understand.
Is an illustration right for the brand?
This can be a tricky one. Because it's likely that the brand guidelines will not include guidelines on illustration, many less open-minded managers might be hesitant to break the mold. In cases like these, go back and look at the brand values from a wider, more comprehensive perspective. What is the brand philosophy? What are they trying to teach the audience?
Then look at your illustration: does it fit the answers to the question? You have one trick in the arsenal, which is that the visual guidelines are meant to ensure that everything that is produced serves the brand, not vice versa. If you can show that your illustration serves the brand, you're in good shape.
A final tactic will be to see who else you can involve in the decision. Many times, overly cautious brand managers may nix or veto ideas they deem too risky or attention-grabbing. This is self-defeating. In cases like these, it can be beneficial to discuss the issue with a higher-up, because they tend to have more confidence in their instincts and feelings, and might feel inclined to say yes where the conservative brand manager didn't.
How to commission an artist
Commissioning an artist to create an illustration is a lot like commissioning any other type of freelancer. However, where most writers can adjust their voice and tone to fit the mood and theme of what they're writing for, illustrators often have a harder time adjusting their style. Where an open call for writers will usually be sufficient for finding a skilled writer, looking for an artist is different.
There are services available on the internet for businesses and employers looking to commission an illustration. Oftentimes, these services allow you to browse through portfolios. If you already have an idea of the style you want, simply browse through portfolios until you find some artists that fit your requirements. After that, the process resembles any other freelance hiring situation pretty closely, though again, the allowance for changing the style is a bit smaller than it is when dealing with writers.
Visual brand guidelines are an indispensable part of brand management. They allow brands to stay strong and true to themselves through multiple design teams, marketing managers, and brand specialists. It's no wonder that people can be hesitant to manipulate or change their interpretation of the sacred documents.
However, for an illustrator, Visual Brand Guidelines often don't even specifically account for illustration. In this case, it's best to build a case for how an illustration fits the brand, make sure you're serving the spirit of the guidelines, if not the explicit rules, and forge ahead.

Foundations may be the starting point, but what fun is getting dressed without the fashion? Jenny will tell you where to shop, what to wear with your body shape, how to accessorize and how to be beautiful.
There's a new trend in fashion and intimates, and it's called the "athleisure" trend. It's a hybrid between athletic wear and leisure clothes, and it's just brilliant. Lululemon may have been the first to make leggings look like actual pants (that you can wear when you aren't working out), but now I'm seeing this comfort trend everywhere. From sweatpants and sweatshirts to sporty bras and cute socks, it's time to jump on board.

All the really fun summer activities that made me feel like I wasn't missing out on my summer. Being given challenging work that kept me interested.
Research was my least favorite part of the internship although I understand that in the field of accountancy research is required in order to keep up with new rules and be able to solve all the different issues you are confronted with on a daily basis.
Learn as much as you can, stay organized, work hard, and don't be afraid to ask questions.
So what made you want to work for Elliott Davis?Why do you think Elliott Davis would be a good place to work for you?What will you bring to the company?What opportunities can the company provide for you?
Management of the company could not have treated me better this summer.
I found this review helpful (0 others have found this review helpful)
Report abuse
Getting to know everyone and seeing so many things that I learned in school be put into practice.
That it didn't last longer.
The people and culture at Elliott Davis are great. The work experience is fun, but also challenging, which creates the perfect combination.
My interview consisted of getting to know several of the employers at Elliott Davis. In conversation, they asked questions, such as: "What are your plans for the future, over the next year, 5 years, 10 years." "What type of organizations are you involved in and what do you do within those organizations."
My experience was great.
Getting quality hands-on experience with real clients while working around friendly people. The activities planned for interns that included social events and community service events were terrific.
One thing that would strengthen the internship program is to have more formal feedback throughout. For example, having each intern meet with someone to learn how they are doing as a whole would be good.
Absorb as much as you can. Be friendly and introduce yourself to people around the office.
Getting to know the shareholders and fellow employees while getting real life experience in tax accounting.
It was a smaller number of office people than I was expecting.
If you want one on one time with fellow employees and a laid back work environment, then this is the company for you.
Having more training with the programs and computer systems would help!
The best aspects were the interactions with the interns and the trips.I enjoyed getting to know everyone who worked at the firm. This internship had a great balance of social and work life. Afterward I felt like I really got to know what the firm was truly about.
I did not like that sometimes there was nothing to do. I understood that it was just not too much to do during the summer.
Take the time to get to know the upper level management and not just the staff
We actually worked on client work !
I had no complaints!
I felt like I was important to the firm.
I participated in a recruitment event and did not have to go through a formal interview.
I would say that my exposure to Elliott Davis's company culture and their employees were the best aspects of the internship. An employee told me during the internship that public accounting is basically the same wherever you go, so you really have to enjoy the company culture and the people you work with. I really believe this to be true and Elliott Davis really proved to me that their company culture fits well with my personality and I enjoyed everybody I got the chance to work with.
There was nothing that I would change about the internship experience. I am sure that if I did have an issue, management would have quickly taken my suggestion and changed anything that I did not like.
I would tell a prospective candidate to be prepared to work hard, but also be prepared to enjoy their time at Elliott Davis. Through countless socials, lake days, beach trips, and kayaking trips, there is always something fun to look forward to. Even though I was working, I had a blast because I enjoyed the work I was doing and everyone that I was working with. Elliott Davis really values their employees and it shows in everything that they do.
The work environment, the people, the experience, the activities and bonding, the learning.
The only con to my internship was that it didn't last longer.
Elliott Davis is an excellent firm to intern for. Don't worry, they don't expect you to know how to do everything already, but are very willing to help you learn.
The culture
I loved it all.
Definitely pursue a internship with Elliott Davis because the company is green and the truly care about their employees. Also, the internship program includes much more than just doing client work. An intern gets to meet with all the positions in the company through lunches and happy hours. There is also a beach trip at the end to hang out with inters from other offices which is a blast.
Everything was done perfectly.
The people, culture, and work environment were great.
The hour long commute through traffic.
Do not let this opportunity pass you by. I had a great experience with this company.
