The AICPA is committed to helping members maintain and enhance audit quality. The newly launched Enhancing Audit Quality initiative seeks to improve the consistency of quality across the profession by focusing firms and peer reviewers on new industries, industries with new or rising risks, audit areas of increased risk or areas that have shown to have increased inspection matters in the past. An AICPA-wide approach of enhanced materials, targeted training and robust peer reviews is planned to enhance audit quality.
Further details regarding this initiative are included in the Enhancing Audit Quality initiative overview page. While the formal program will not be finalized until the responses to the discussion paper can be evaluated, the AICPA Peer Review Board has approved a partial implementation of the Emerging Industries and Risk Areas Initiative.
The initial proposed emerging industries and risk areas follow.
Practitioners must be independent and comply with the requirements of Interpretation 101-3 when providing nonattest services to their attest clients1. Interpretation 101-3 provides specific guidance to CPAs on the types of nonattest services that impair independence as well as specific safeguards that may be implemented to reduce threats to an acceptable level. Notable changes for engagements beginning on or after December 15, 2014 are that preparing financial statements, among other commonly performed functions, will constitute nonattest services and that multiple nonattest services provided to a client can increase the significance of threats.
One of the key safeguards to reduce the threat of management participation is that the client must designate an individual with suitable skill, knowledge, and/or experience ("SKE") to assume the management responsibilities, oversee the nonattest service, evaluate the adequacy/results of the services performed, and accept responsibility for the results of the services. CPAs are expected to use their professional judgment and experience to determine whether the individual designated by the client can fulfill these responsibilities.
Find associated EAQ products and resources at the AICPA Store.
Peer reviews as well as regulator inspections continue to note matters and issues in the area of sufficiency of audit evidence. These are most commonly noted among internal controls and risk assessment, where the documentation requirements are very specific yet involve professional judgment. Ultimately, however, the documentation should enable an experienced auditor, having no previous connection with the audit, to understand the nature, timing, extent, and results of procedures, including significant findings or issues.
In addition, sufficiency of audit evidence relates to the quality and quantity of audit evidence where an auditor uses sampling or other audit approaches that do not include testing of all transactions in an account balance or class. The documentation thereof should enable an experienced auditor, having no previous connection with the audit, to understand the nature, timing, extent, and results of procedures, including significant findings or issues.
Find associated EAQ products and resources at the AICPA Store. In addition, you can access a free archive of the November 17 webinar on this topic. You have to register to view the archive.
Regulatory and legislative developments have made it clear that there is a significant public interest in, and a higher risk associated with, audits of employee benefit plans. In addition, recent standards promulgated by GASB related to financial accounting and reporting of pensions both at the governmental plan and participating employer levels are extremely complex and will present challenges for auditors.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has brought numerous charges related to municipal securities issuers misleading investors and defrauding investors in the bond market. Many of the charges are based on materially misleading statements or improper accounting and/or disclosure for transactions in the financial statements that are included in offering documents. Accordingly, peer reviewers will be focusing on the financial statement audits of municipal issuers (such as states, local governments, and certain not-for-profit and for-profit conduit borrowers) to determine if the financial statements properly reflect GAAP and that the auditors followed professional standards.
1 This material focuses on the independence requirements of CPAs when providing nonattest services to clients under AICPA professional standards. Some regulatory bodies, such as the SEC, PCAOB and GAO, have established independence requirements that may be more restrictive with regard to the provision of nonattest services for an audit client.

frequently almost Every week Sarah Lincoln Abe's Sister worked for me: She was a good, kind, amiable girl, resembling Abe. The Lincoln family were good people good neighbors : they were honest & hospitable and very very sociable. We moved to Indiana in 1824 Came from Ky. I Knew as a matter of Course Sarah & Sally Lincoln very well. and I say to you that she was a gentle, Kind, smart shrewd social, intelligent woman She was quick & strong minded: She had no Education, Except what She gathered up herself. I Speak more of what she was by nature than by culture. I never was a politician in all my life, but when such men ran as Abe Lincoln as in 1860 I as it were took the Stump: he was the noblest specimen of man I Ever saw. Gentryville lies 4 m from here NW. Abe worked for us at various times at 25c per day worked hard & faithful and when he missed time would not charge for it. I took some of the rails which Abe cut and Split for us and had Canes made from them. They were white oak cut from this Stump here some one got into my house and Stole my cane. Can't say what books Abe read, but I have a book called "The Kentucky Preceptor" [4], which we brought from Ky and in which & from which Abe learned his school orations, Speeches & pieces to recite. School Exhibitions used to be the order of the day not as now however. Abe attended them Spoke & acted his part always well free from rant & swell: he was a modest and Sensitive lad never coming where he was not wanted: he was gentle, tender and Kind. Abe was a moral & a model boy, and while other boys were out hooking water melons & trifling away their time, he was studying his books thinking and reflecting. Abe used to visit the sick boys & girls of his acquaintance. When he worked for us he read all our books would sit up late in the night kindle up the fire read by it cipher by it. We had a broad wooden shovel on which Abe would work out his sums wipe off and repeat till it got too black for more: then he would scrape and wash off. and repeat again and again rose Early. went to work Come to Dinner Sit down and read joke tell Stories &c. &c Here is my husbands likeness you need not look at mine. My husband was a substantial Man (and I say a cruel hard husband, Judging from his looks ). Sarah Lincoln was a strong healthy woman [5] was Cool not Excitable truthful do to tie to Shy Shrinking. Thomas Lincoln was blind in one Eye and the other was weak so he felt his way in the work much of the time: his sense of touch was Keen Abe did wear buck Skin pants Coon Skin opossum skin Caps. Abe ciphered with a coal or with red Keel [6] got from the branches: he smoothed and planed boards wrote on them ciphered on them. I have seen this over and over again. Abe was Sometimes Sad not often he was reflective was witty & humorous. Abe Lincoln was one day bothering the girls his sister & others playing yonder and his Sister Scolded him Saying Abe you ought to be ashamed of

After reviewing the pilot of ARATA THE LEGEND, I decided to catch up on the show's first six episodes to find out what happened to the body-swapping boys with the same name...
To recap: we've met Arata #1, a bullied teen in Tokyo, and our unlikely hero. As Arata laments a friend's betrayal and wishes himself somewhere else, an Arata in another world wishes the exact same thing. The two are Freaky Friday'ed into each others' lives and bodies - - their switch setting off a chain of events and sparking an age-old prophecy to boot!
Arata #2 is a warrior in Amawakuni, an alternate universe of sorts where gods live among humans in the form of powerful swords known as 'Hayagami.' Only a chosen few known as the Sho can wield the Hayagami, and these Sho, known as the 'Twelve Shinso,' rule over the individual twelve kingdoms of Amawakuni. But above the Twelve Shinso resides Princess Kikuri, who rules over all of Amawakuni. When one of the Shinso tries to assassinate the Princess, he frames Arata #2 for the crime.
As Arata runs into the mystical Kando forest to escape, he is lifted out of his body and catapulted into the "real world" - - and Arata #1 (referred to from here on out as "Hinohara," for clarity's sake) ends up in Amawakuni with a huge mess on his hands.
You got that straight?
At the end of the pilot, Hinohara discovers that he is, in fact, a Sho. Thus, he can call on the power of Kamui. He also learns that the Princess has used all her power to keep herself alive, but only just barely. She's trapped somewhere between life and death, and... I'm sure you can put the rest together. The princess appears to Hinohara and tells him he is destined to take back the power of the Sho from the corrupt Shinso, and restore balance to the Force! (I mean... Amawakuni).
Hinohara is accompanied by Kotoha, a young healer friend of Arata's. As the two are captured by Akachi, the raven-haired evil Shinso, they begin a journey to fulfill the Princess' final wish - - to unite all the Hayagami and keep her kingdom out of war. From a public trial to the penal colony of Gatoya, Hinohara and Kotoha discover more and more about the power of the Hayagami, and Hinohara's destiny. Though the Hayagami come in the form of swords, they can be housed in the body of a Sho (by way of a golden, shimmering light, natch). A Sho can also submit his Hayagami to another Sho - -thereby giving him the power of multiple gods.
You still keeping up here?
Throughout their adventures, the two meet a collection of friends and foes, from the scrappy prison boys Kanate-San & Ginchi-San, to the terrifying Warden Tsutsuga of Gatoya. As they try to find their way back to the capital to save the Princess and unify the Hayagami, Hinohara learns more about the strange world he's suddenly fighting for.
There's no omniscient narrator here, so the audience follows along the show's multifaceted history alongside Hinohara. The Amawakuni universe is well thought-out and incredibly detailed, but not so much that you're ever confused. Each episode offers another glimpse into the Hayagami mythology, peeling away pieces of the mystery at a satisfying pace.
Though Hinohara takes himself very seriously as a bitter young man who's been betrayed by all of his friends back home, THE LEGEND OF ARATA does not. Side characters maintain just the right dose of humor throughout the bloodshed and drama - - enough to keep it light without ruining the gravity of the situation. Whenever the show flashes back to Arata, in Hinohara's body back home, he's often portrayed as someone who's gone a little insane. He rambles on and on about hunting, doesn't recognize his family or friends, and spends his time up in the trees.
So far, Arata been less of a focal point in the narrative, but it seems likely that he and Hinohara will join forces down the line… or, at the very least, meet again.
Amidst the Shinso politics and Hayagami adventures, THE LEGEND OF ARATA has an underlying message about trust. Hinohara's pain from a friend's betrayal colors all his interactions in Amawakuni : from accepting his burden to saving those who trust him to understanding the Shinso who've lost their way due to their own experiences with deceit.
In fact, the difference between Hinohara and Akatchi lies in the way they each receive other Shinso's Hayagami. Where Akatchi steals their godly power, Hinohara is entrusted with them. It's all about trust, baby... and everyone is hopping on the "trust Hinohara" train.
By the end of episode six, Hinohara is solidified as a worthy hero, Akatchi has performed some villainous atrocities, and the mission to unite the Hayagami is crystal clear. There's still more to be learned about the Shinso's agenda, and the power of the Hayagami... but so far, THE LEGEND OF ARATA has proven itself to be a smart, engaging new show this spring.

Regional food and drug retailer Pathmark has begun accepting Medicare Part B coverage at select stores.
Retail News Breaks Archives
MONTVALE, N.J. – Regional food and drug retailer Pathmark has begun accepting Medicare Part B coverage at select stores.
The A&P-owned supermarket chain is accepting Part B at 53 of its 117 pharmacy locations. Overall, Pathmark — A&P's largest chain — has 128 stores in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware.
In a direct-mail flyer about the new Medicare coverage, Pathmark noted that Part B covers all diabetic supplies, including test strips and lancets, as well as most home health care products and many asthma and chemotherapy medications.
"Our caring and courteous pharmacists are standing by ready to answer any questions you may have about Medicare Part B or any other insurance plan," the Pathmark flyer stated. "We are dedicated to bringing you the best medication management in the neighborhood."
In addition, Pathmark and sister food and drug chains Waldbaum's, A&P and Super Fresh are offering a lower price for their discount generic prescription drug program.

BATON ROUGE- It smelled like grandma's house inside the Baton Rouge River Center's ballroom.
Holiday Helpers held its annual Thanksgiving dinner. Thursday, hundreds of people got a great dinner because of the program.
This is the 26th year the organization has hosted the dinner and about 300 volunteers helped make the event possible.
"My daughter and I are giving back. We've had so many blessings over this year that in a small way we like to give back," Beckie Armoney said.
The menu was filled with all traditional Thanksgiving items.
Many of the people at the dinner said they couldn't imagine spending their Thanksgiving elsewhere, especially since they're not in the kitchen.
"I worked in a lunch room for 31 years, so I think its time I eat somebody's else cooking," Lucille Elwood said.
According to organizers, the event grows each year.

Q&A with Jota Dazza from Radioboxer, Playing Titanic Friday
It's been about a year since the buzz began and Radioboxer continues on strong, writing new music, and giving fans abundant opportunities to take in this local favorite where they rock their best, in a live setting. New Times recently got bassist, and apparent lover of chick flicks, Jota Dazza on the horn for a couple of quick questions about their free, WVUM-sponsored party this Friday at Titanic Brewery, called I'll Never Let You Go, Jack, their assent to Radioboxerdom, and the role of Mad Max in the band's future.
And to thank fans for their support, Radioboxer has decided to give away their entire debut record for free. Head here to download it. And below check out a nifty vid they put together to help promote the show.
New Times: First of all, who the hell is this Jack, and why won't you let him go?
Jota: Jack is the young Leonardo DiCaprio. And we did let him go, when we grew old and ugly [laughs]. It's the movie man! You never saw Titanic? You remember the quote from the movie?
You're not going to believe this, but I never saw the movie.
You're kidding! So you never got laid during that time?
I was against watching it. I took a stand. I did succumb to Great Expectations instead.
Oh wow. I wish more men could've taken a stand like you. I got dragged twice.
Well, I figured I knew how it ended. So how'd a nice clean band like Radioboxer get mixed up with the sordid underbelly of university radio?
We kind of got in contact during the Miami Music Festival, when we played at Transit and the music director was there, and she liked the band and told us to get in touch. So for this show, we've never played in Titanic before, so we wanted to have one of these quote-unquote big shows we do, so I called and asked if they'd like to be a part. And they were really helpful, actually.
The lineup also includes Rebels and the Morning Flesh Project...which just sounds dirty.
[Laughs] They are! They're a bunch of perverts. They're just a bunch of rapists who got together to play music.
No, no. Rebel became friends of ours playing around town and they have good lyrics, good songs, good stage presence. I really enjoy their music. It has a British pop vibe, only harder. And the Morning Flesh Project actually uses the same studio we do, The Shack North, so they're part of the Shack North Family in Hialeah, and they're really cool people. So we invited them over. They're more like an experimental fusion band, so it should make for a nice mix overall for the show.
You guys have really blown up locally over the past year. How does that feel?
It feels good. It feels like we're accomplishing something. I mean, we're still not where we want to be, obviously. But, you know, it does feel like we're getting somewhere. You see the progress on Facebook, and you see more and more people showing up at concerts that we don't know and they're like, "hey! You're Radioboxer," which is always surprising. It's like, "holy shit, how do you know me?" And that's happening more and more and we feel good about it. The hard work we've put into the band is paying off.
What have you guys been working on lately? There's new music on the way, right?
Well, we're changing the image, and the feeling. Before we were into the whole organic feeling, and extremely retro, like 1900s retro. But now we're moving toward a more futuristic vibe. Kind of like how they viewed the future in the '80s, with the post apocalyptic theme? That's the vibe. Very aggressive in the sense that it's got almost militaristic, fascist vibe, but the message is really we all have to love each other and help each other out. That feeling where you feel communion with the person standing on either side of you. And that's the main reason we really do anything at all, and the main message. So the idea is a musical militia.
And we're also experimenting more with electronic music. More upbeat. I almost doubt the choice of words, but I guess more commercial on one sense. It just feels like even more fun to play. The new songs are going to kick ass. The new stuff sounds amazing. It's kinda like bipolar power pop.

Bakuman Book 18
Posted in Manga Reviews on March 5, 2013 by Johannastory by Tsugumi Ohba; art by Takeshi Obata; adapted by Julie Lutz
published by Viz; $9.99 US
My goodness, that cast lineup on the opening pages just gets larger and larger!
I suppose it shouldn't surprise me that, just a few volumes from the series end, the young manga creators have finally come up with something resembling Death Note. After all, Bakuman is done by the same creative team, so who better to describe a battle manga cult hit with a dark story.
They're once again going up against their top rival, Nizuma, with both having new one-shots debuting in a short period of time. The problem with this system of manga creation is that success only leads to more work. If the new samples do well, then they should continue into a series — but both creators have already-running series. Can they add more and keep up the quality? Of course, they're determined and enthusiastic, but sheer desire doesn't make accomplishment possible.
This volume circles back around to a lot of the basics of Bakuman, from the direct competition with Nizuma to the suspense over how the question of the new series will play out. Many of the other artists in the supporting cast are only checked in with briefly, while we see more of the editors and their debates. I found it all thrilling. Plus, we're reminded again of what drives Mashiro — his need for success so he can marry.
The lessons about making manga this time through focus on crafting villains in a battle manga and the exhaustion that can result from having to meet impossible deadlines. The artist's plan starts with 30 pages needing to be created in a week, which requires four assistants. That particular chapter is mind-numbing in portraying how hard everyone works just for a weekly manga installment. It's my favorite in the book. There's also a debate about quality vs. longevity, about whether a writer should try for a lengthy run of years or avoid padding and just make every chapter run at top speed.
We do get one side story near the end, following up with the crazy and lazy creator of "Otter No. 11″, Hiramaru, and his crush on the writer Miss Aoki. They're around at this point just to provide exaggerated emotion and humor, both of which they succeed at. I do hope the final page, which promises the next volume in May 2014, is a typo — I can't wait that long! (Amazon says 2013, so I hope it is.)

Letter: Chattanooga, Tennessee to Charles Henry Douglass, Macon, Georgia, 1925 Mar. 10author: Reevin, Sam E. extent: [1] p. date: March 10, 1925 summary: Partial letter from an agent, probably manager Sam E. Reevin, of the Theatre Owners Booking Association (T.O.B.A.), a Tennessee-based booking agency from 1920 to the 1930s for African American vaudeville acts, to Charles Henry Douglass, African American entrepreneur and owner of the Douglass Theatre, dated March 10, 1925, regarding the disputed quality of stage shows booked at the Douglass Theatre. The letter responds to criticism of two acts, the Johnny Lee Long Company, and Bennie Sparrow. In order to show that Theatre Owners Booking Association (T.O.B.A.) is not discriminating against Douglass by intentionally sending him poor quality acts, the agent informs Douglass that the Johnny Lee Long Company and Bennie Sparrow were booked into Chattanooga, Tennessee, possibly at the Liberty Theatre, to follow their appearance in Macon, Georgia. He adds that the Johnny Lee Long Company did well in Chattanooga and says he is enclosing a report from a Wilmington, North Carolina theater, possibly the Lafayette Theatre, (not included with this document) where Bennie Sparrow played before he arrived in Macon. The agent admits that he has cancelled the Bennie Sparrow show in Chattanooga due to the unfavorable report from Douglass. He argues that it is physically impossible for an agent to know every show, but assures Douglass that he does not book every show that applies for work and that he tries to investigate as much as possible. Recalling the report card that is sent to the theater managers every week, the agent notes that they contain diverse reviews. He asserts once more that he does not book acts just because they write to him. The letter appears to be incomplete, lacking a signature. Long, a well-known comedian, starred in Shu-Shin-Shi in 1925. repository: Middle Georgia Archives collection: Charles Henry Douglass business records box: 21 folder: 210 item: 12 subjects: Macon (Ga.) Page: [1] [view image] [Note: This document contains typewritten and printed text.] [printed text:
[typewritten text: March 10th, 1925. Mr. C. H. Douglass, Douglass Theatre, Macon, Ga. [Georgia], Dear Mr. Douglass: Just received yours of the 9th instant, and noticed your complaint about the last two shows that played for you, and the fact that both of these shows were booked into Chattanooga to follow Macon proves that I am not intentionally discriminating against you -- The Johnny Lee Long Company did very well in Chattanooga and I am enclosing herewith report from Wilmington, N/C [North Carolina] where Bennie Sparrow played before arriving in Macon, but as your report is very unfavorable, I immediately wired Sparrow cancelling [canceling] the show -- Relative to the statement in your letter that you wish there was a way for me to find out about the shows before booking them, and wish to say that it is a physical impossibility for any Agent to know every show in the business -- I personally don't book every show that applies for work, whether good or bad -- I try to investigate as much as I can, and I invite the co-operation [cooperation] of the Managers, for you know yourself that every week a report card is sent to the Managers, and you would be surprised to see the difference in the reports -- the shows that some Managers report as -- being the best this season -- play in some houses and the Managers report -- the worst this season -- etc. [et cetera], and visa [vice] versa I don't pick up Companies just because they write for work --] |

Chanaging a game category: What to watch for?
Hello guys,
My first app Space Command (combine asteroids and missile defense game play) is in the: Game - Arcade category (no secondary category) I came to find out (newbie here!) that arcade is really competitive (duh!) and was wondering if changing it Game - Adventure maybe not be a smart move since I think it is little less crowded than arcade (probably not much but...) What do guys think? Any bad experience about changing categories mid-way? What do i need to watch for? Would lose anything in term of ranking (not sure that is big problem since the app is so new...) Any suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated! Mo @LairdGames ps: If you want to check the game while it is free (for few more days) just check my signature for the link. If you check it out, thanks in advance for any ratings/reviews! (see my signature if you like to check it |
Not sure if I'm missing something but I carnt get past level one on your game.. I hit very asteroid and the planet is still 100%. The time runs out and it's say I did a fantastic job but then takes me back to the games home screen and if I click play again its still level one?
Also your more games button opens up candy Crush in the appstore? Yes you should but at least two categories, think you could put arcade and action. It's not really adventure and apple may remove that at approval stage. Last edited by ThreeCubes; 01-21-2013 at 07:57 PM.. |
Thanks ThreeCubes. I think you right, I probably should stick with what i have (game -aracade) if there is a chance that Apple would deny the game...
In term of Space Command, I am sorry you having issues. Yes you need play couple games before going to level 2. The goal is to increase your survival time (so it gets harder and harder) and then you reach I think about 1 minute of survival time(after player 6-8 games not sure) you will reach level 2 where you will have 2 planets to worry about. After that it will take much longer to reach level 3 (the goal again is to make your survive longer and longer) So you will need to use your gold very carefully in level 1 and 2 because level 3 is much harder with 3 planets! For the button "more games", it is just experiment to allow to check out free game of the day (using Revmob ad network) So the game offered will change every day. You do not have to press that button. the game do not have any ads. I hope this help. And you thank you for checking Space Command and for your nice info about the categories. I appreciate that.

The supply of sustainable energy is arguably the most important scientific and technological challenge in the 21st century. Meeting this challenge will require not only increased energy efficiency but also new energy storage platforms to displace existing carbon-based fuels with carbon-neutral energy such as solar energy. Electrochemical devices such as Li batteries, and fuel cells that operate on hydrogen produced from solar energy, are promising technologies to buffer the supply and demand of energy, particularly for portable power and hybrid propulsion in transportation. Meeting the demands of these applications requires new ideas to design materials with tailored reactivity toward Li for Li batteries, and catalysts with markedly higher activity towards oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) in fuel cells.
The objective of this IRG is on the one hand to use electrochemistry to accurately determine how thermodynamics, phase stability, and kinetics are modified at the nanoscale, and on the other hand to apply that knowledge to engineer materials with high-energy, high-power Li storage capabilities, and to design nanocatalysts with superior ORR activity and reduced noble metal content.
Carbon nanotubes dramatically increase lithium battery capacity
High-energy batteries using genetically-engineered viruses
Battery material could lead to ultra-fast recharging of many devices
A step toward developing better fuel cells for electric cars and more

Flash Back Fridays
1977 A story by David Boulding
The barn was built for the same reason the Haig Brown and the outdoor centre were built. Jim wanted a maintenance shop. His plans for a shop on the far northern side of the property were changed by the fire in May 1973 and the Haig Brown building soon after construction began morphed in an accommodation building.
The barn was going to be different.
It began as a residence for Adrian Koeleman the mechanic. Originally there were to be eight-foot foundation walls as the building's basement was to be Adrian's residence, but when Jim found out the cost of cement it was decided they would be much shorter.
The government had a program called NEEDS which was designed to give employment to those workers had had no more UIC (Unemployment Insurance, now referred to as EI) eligibility. Local Campbell River businesses could apply for various NEED grants, and get work at UIC rates and the weeks on the program were counted as "insurable weeks" for purposes of claiming more UIC. Jim applied for a grant and employed over 75 people through this program, a few of which were Vietnamese fishermen.
Jim had a vague plan to create his own hydro power. He wanted to take the water from Baikie 's swamp up beside Percy Dewar's land and run it over the hill down 900 feet to the lake and install a pelton wheel and make his own electricity.
There were two swamps. The south swamp (Baikie's) drained towards the lodge; the north swamp drained into Cedar Lake. The two swamps were separated by a rise in land of about 5 feet in elevation. The plan was to clean out a path about 20 feet wide between the swamps and later bring in an excavator to dig a channel so we could re-direct the all water in the swamps and the water in Billy Baikie Lake towards the lodge.
The Vietnamese were meticulous. The boss of the "trail building" project was Percy Dewar. Percy marked the trees that needed to be cut, and I knocked them down and bucked them into carry size logs, because these fisher- men were prohibited from using chain saws. This rule was dreamed up by the government lackey in Campbell River who seemed to take sadistic pleasure in making the project difficult for Jim.
Jim eventually put me in charge of the project, and this bean-counter/ administrator became my problem. Sometimes the fellow would call me on the radiophone and specifically prohibit me from buying something in town or stop me from having a carpenter do a specific task because it was not in the original application. When I described these calls to Jim, Jim walked away in silence.
Life went on, and eventually Percy and the hard-working Vietnamese finished the swamp project, leaving a path about 25 feet wide from one swamp to another. Sadly, we never did finish this electrical hydro generation project. The later hastily planned hydro project was based out of Cedar Lake, and required purchasing land, building a powerhouse four miles away, and setting up four miles of hydro poles; not in Jim's original plan.
The real action of the NEEDS Project was building the barn. In addi- tion to the Vietnamese workers, there were a number of unemployed log builders from Quadra Island and some talented out-of-work carpenters from Campbell River.
John Gregg, a former Lodgie, was contracted to build a new stone genny shed just below the barn. The building had church like windows which John had to fill with rocks when the budget said "no windows!
Jim and I did the log salvage work. I have great pleasure listening to peo ple talk about log salvage because while we never stole any logs off a passing logging truck, it was only because they did not slow down enough for Jim and I to get close enough.
To her credit, the lovely Myrna never asked too many questions about the original location or ownership of these logs. There was much Jim did not tell Myrna, and Myrna did not ask too many penetrating questions because she knew Jim had larceny in his soul. Wallace Baikie, on the other hand, was often apoplectic at Jim "borrowing" logs. Once he dug up a road we were using by hand with a shovel. This 74 year old logger armed with a garden spade dug a trench big enough to prohibit the Fargo from going down the road behind the bog. It took Jim Nelson and me about two hours of shoveling to fill in the trench so we could keep on driving behind the bog.
Perhaps the greatest story of the Canadian military helping the lodge was that summer during the NEEDS project. I had some logs in the boat basin I could not move. (These logs were over six feet in diametre at the butt. I have pictures of me standing beside one butt and the log peaks over my head!) That spring the army was doing some mountain transport training behind the Lodge towards Percy's house. The instructors would take the big six wheel drive transport trucks and get them stuck deep in the mud off the side of a logging road, and then they would stand back with stop watches while their troops got them back on the road. The men were staying in the government campsite near the bridge, but came to the Highbracer lounge for the odd beer or four.
The major in charge struck up a warm friendship with Jim. His sergeant major was a 25 year veteran of army transport, and one day he offered to show me his driving skills in an army jeep. After that demonstration of insanity, I mentioned I had some big logs in the water which I could not move. My truck was not big enough to get deep enough into the water to get them.
Promptly he said, "Ask the Major."
Jim went out onto the balcony with the Major– now called Major Mike by all of us, and after some discussion Major Mike stood up on the balcony and yelled, "Sergeant Major….. Move that man's logs!" These monster logs formed the raw stock for the beams of the barn and we used an old school bus with a huge rack on top to move lumber around. The carpenters always said: "you cannot buy lumber like this in town!"
We often had trouble with those leaving taking Lodge belongings with them. I learned to check the vehicles every day around quitting time, and eventually we used the bus to transport people ourselves. We lost three chain saws, an anvil, the new snow chains for the CASE backhoe as well as other various tools. Sadly one thief nearly lost his life. I hired a young man with thalidomide damaged arms, thinking he would be grateful for the job. I planned to have him pick up trash around the project. That task required only one arm and having a designated picker upper would let others work more efficiently. Things started to disappear, but I was a slow learner. It never crossed my naïve mind that a one-armed man would steal.
A pub owner from town called Jim and said that a one-armed fellow was selling a Mercury outboard in his pub and the barkeep was sure he worked for Strathcona. I raced to his house. There, plain as day, was our outboard motor. Clearly he could not lift the motor himself.
His last day of work was almost his last day alive. Jim Hagel (the cat operator) had sold a bush blade to another logger and had 1800 dollars in cash in the glove box of his truck. The one armed man took the cash. Hagel and I had a brief chat when Hagel reported the missing money. The 40 year old logger raced over to where the crew was getting ready to drive home asked the kid for the money back. The kid foolishly denied it. Jim, having been in logging camps for 20 years, quickly impressed on the little rat that he was moments from death. The Catskinner picked up the 90 pounds of black tee shirt and shook loose his 1800 dollars.
The whole episode was over in one minute and the cretin was on the ground struggling to breathe. His employment was terminated with cause and this time there was no argument from the government man. I noted after that demonstration of logger justice that the theft problem abated to almost nothing.
The barn has fine points that many miss. The wooden pegs that hold together the fancy joints and support braces are made from yew wood. I found a yew tree near Cedar Lake, and some of the young women I hired for were given pieces of yew wood one foot long and knives with the instructions to whittle the square bits into round pegs. The log builders then inserted these hard wooden pegs into the joints to ensure that they would never move.
Another wonderful thing is that the beams cut by Clark Monroe
were done so well, and so cleanly, that they still look good today.

A warm front will push eastward this evening and continue to bring rain to the region. Moderate to heavy at times rain is expected along the Coastline, while light rain will fall in the Valley and to the East of the Cascades. Snow levels are currently around 5,000′ and will rise to about 6,000′ by the morning, as the warmer air mass moves in place. For this reason, this system will be a mainly rain event.
Sunny skies will follow this storm as Friday is shaping up very nicely for much of Southern Oregon and Northern California. Temperatures will warm into the upper 60's in the Valleys, but by Saturday the next system moves in. The first half of the day we'll see increasing clouds before the rain begins along the Coast and further inland overnight. By Sunday all areas will see rain and or showers through much of the day. High pressure builds in for Monday, and then some more wet weather follows Tuesday and Wednesday.
Thanks for logging on! For weather updates follow me on Facebook!

Sweet Summer Night (15.00-20.30)
Sweet Summer Night II continues in the 'narrative thread' of the first evening. Nico Dijkshoorn gives a live recital from his successful audio tour, which resulted from his previous performance at the Sweet Summer Nights. Never before will you have seen a medieval still life or a work by Van Gogh in this way! Knol d'amour also found inspiration: in Van Gogh's Potato eaters. In their modest 'expo' you can learn all about our (still) favourite supper. Artist in residence Gadjo Joe is joining us again (see details 14 July) with a new story tour, this time led by Mexican multi-instrumentalist Luiz Marques. Music (and film) are also the main ingredients for 'There Must Be Some Way Out Of Here', a breathtaking multimedia project by Hanneke de Jong and Jonas de Witte, with live accompaniment by four young musicians. There is more music by American singer-songwriter Otis Gibbs, with his highly personal songs, and by Eefje de Visser. Before breaking through to a large(r) public, she had already been a guest at the Sweet Summer Nights, this time she provides the musical finale to the evening with her exceptionally beautiful, poetic songs. The Flamish singer-songwriter Renée performs her songs on our woodland stage.
The Instamatic Atelier by Rob Sweere also returns again (see 14 July), and the students from ArtEZ. This time the (animation) films will be shown by TV Wartburg, in combination with old-fashioned computer games (Pong!) and a delicious bag of popcorn. If you want to make your own animation film, that too is possible this evening. The Meganimator will ride through the sculpture garden and provide all the possibilities for a creative account of the evening. Finally, Delinus with its new, environment-friendly addition Suzie will provide transport between the locations. This sexy maxi taxi (inspired by the sculpture garden!) will bring you to the dance performance by Komma4 or the events area, where actors Jasper Boeke and Helge Slikker present a wonderful musical tale about two men with a mission. Thus, an eclectic evening, hopefully also full of inspiration!
Download the programme
Catering is again available on these evenings, but you can, of course, also bring your own picnic. The Sweet Summer Nights and the Children's Afternoon are free to everyone with a valid ticket for the park and museum. Entrance fee: combined ticket for park and museum: € 16.40 for adults, € 8.20 for children from 6 to 12 years of age (children under 6 free). Part of the programme will be in Dutch language only.

Examine your Expectations
Many people have very explicit mental images when it comes to a soulmate. They must look like YYY, have X hair, Y eyes, a Z smile. These mental images probably came from someone seen on TV or a movie, or a mental image formed from someone in your life. I´ve seen many people date a person because they looked a lot like another person in their life - often without realizing it. Really examine your perfect mate´s image. Is it because they will always remind you of someone else? Is that fair, to constantly compare this real life person with someone else, perhaps someone that they can never meet? Instead, focus on the *qualities* of your ideal partner, and work towards that. Looks change, but qualities of personality are more permanent.

He sits silently and hopes you don't see him.
Something about this really reminds me of those illuminated typefaces you get in fairy tales. Beautiful work.
Catherine, thanks for the comment! I was so surprised and excited to see him there. I took a screen shot!!
Thanks, Noel! We had a bunny nest in our yard last summer, and the babies were so still you could creep right up to them and they'd watch you, but never move. I didn't try to touch one though!

bravo with this Bianca. The illustration and colors are great, but being on that texture really makes it.
I love this!! I ordered the largest print you offer - I live in Rhode Island, where an anchor IS the true symbol of "HOME". Just beautiful!
It makes me happy to know you like this and will have this in your home soon. Thank you for your comment Amy!

text: TRIJICON has large-scale contracts with the U.S. military for its amazing ACOG riflescopes, and now there is a compact, battle-tested version for crossbow hunters. The ACOG Crossbow scope is dual-illuminated (fiber optics and tritium make it battery-free), rugged, waterproof and calibrated for the drop of crossbow bolts. The Adjustable RMR is a lightweight red-dot sight that adjusts for windage and elevation. It's perfect for ARs, slug guns, muzzleloaders and hunting handguns. VORTEX OPTICS adds first-focal-plane reticle models to its popular Viper HS LR scope line. The first focal plane allows better use of mil-dot and other ranging systems that will not change subtensions in relation to the target as magnification is altered. For the budget-minded hunter, Diamondback 20X-60X-60mm and 20X-60X-80mm spotting scopes offer tremendous value. Crossfire II binoculars build on the features of the original with fully multi-coated lenses in 8- and 10x42 waterproof units for less than $200. WEAVER unveils a premium line of optics with its Super Slam binoculars. The 8.5x45 and 10x45 models feature fully multi-coated glass and Bak 4 prisms for stellar resolution, a dual-hinge bridge design for ergonomics and an innovative dial that locks interpupillary distance. Grand Slam waterproof riflescopes range from 2X-8X-32mm to 4X-16X-44mm. All offer multiple reticle options, fully multi-coated lenses and feature an updated Micro-Trac erector system. A 1X-4X-24mm scope in the KASPA line is ideal for muzzleloaders and shotguns. ZEISS enhances its Conquest American-style riflescopes with its HD5 line that has a 5X zoom ratio. Models include 2X-10X-42mm, 3X-15X-42mm and 5X-25X-50mm, and offer the noted Rapid-Z 800 reticle options. Terra ED binoculars and scopes are equipped with most of the features of German-made optics—most notably incredible crispness—at a fraction of the cost, making Zeiss affordable to the average American hunter. Scopes include a 2X-7X-32mm, 3X-9X-42mm and a 4X-12X-42mm with Rapid Z6 or RZ8 reticles.
