OK ... let's try this ...
Unfortunately, my trailer doesn't have the nicely located clips for the tie does anywhere along the back edge. So I'll have to weld something on there to keep the straps from slipping sideways. I'll also need to locate different location points on the car as well.
I suppose the other option is to screw a couple stops to the deck at the outside edge of the rear tires.

Dewey, I have almost the exact same trailer as you, I bought some of those recessed "D" ring tie downs and installed them in the deck, making sure that I positioned them so that 2 of the mounting bolts went through the steel substructure under the wooden bed.
I also added a tie down rail alongside, I welded a length of 3/4 rebar across the stake pockets, just below the tops. ( I didn't want anything higher than the deck of the trailer...trip hazard you know)
The rebar works good because it has ridges to keep some traction on strap hooks and rope.
I have a 3500 pound winch permenantly mounted to the front, I added a battery box on the tongue to hang a battery from to run the winch when I need it. ( I'm too lazy to run a proper wire to hook to my tow vehicle, and it makes the trailer self contained inasfar as the winch is concerned.)
I bring my block pulley when ever I go to pick up a car, just in case I ever need to double the pulling power of the winch. I think I needed it once. That was to drag my 37 out of the field where it had sat for 13 years.

my signature lines...not really directed at anyone in particular..
BE different....ACT normal.
No one is completely useless..They can always be used as a bad example
I don't use anything smaller than a strap like this - I've never had a problem (I also have chain and binders if I ever feel the strapping isn't good enough)
I wrap these around the rear axle and crank it down and I can see the tires start to compress - I don't think it would ever go anywhere - unless you got a flat - which would be a problem whether you crossed the straps or not.
I got the same tiedowns and they work good. I'd have to go look at the rating but it is pretty high since I use them with the truck too. My front one is my recovery strap and it's 30k working strength so wrapping around the front crossmember and hooked to the corners the car isn't going anywhere.
Here is a neat little tip for working on the trailer...like adjusting the brakes or monkeying with the wiring etc. Unloaded trailer. Lower the jack way down, if you can get a 4x4 under it do so, then put 2 jack stands (appropriate load rating) under the rear corners of the trailer then crank the jack back up to about as high as it will go. Now put 2 more jack stands under the front corners and lower the jack so most of the weight is on the jack stands. The wheels should be off the ground and you can crawl underneath to do your work. I have a hard rubber mat just under 4ft wide and 6 ft long that I use so I can use a creeper.
You guys can get those wide straps at a truck stop pretty inexpensively too.
A well equipped travel center will have both the ratcheting and pull to tighten straps.
Be careful you don't get the straps designed for the slots in the semi trailers, those kind clip on and have no hooks.
Northen tool has them too and much less expensive. The wire hooks are ok and there is a clip style too.
By the way the hook or clip is not the load carrying part, wrap the strap thru the stake pocket and use the hook just to secure the end. I wrap a piece of duct tape around it too so it can't come loose.
There are some of those heavy duty straps that have a short piece of chain on each end instead of the hooks..Some of you may like those as well..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..
I have found out that you should by the better quality ones because if you go to put alot of pressure on the handle it can fold up on you & then its worthless.
I use Chains & Binders for any trip over 30 miles.

With you having the brake controller I would leave the car back like that. If you get it any further forward you are going to hate your drive. The one small bump will create a bouncing motion that will not stop for miles. You almost never want to have a trailer going downhill. You want it level or just slightly uphill. I know it may be all you have, but if you plan to do this often, I would reconsider doing it with the ranger. Your car may be light, but your truck should not squat that much when you center your rear axle over the trailer axles.
The straps should be rated at 20k+. Also if you are going to have them go over any corners in the steel (like your two rear straps) I would get some plastic corner protectors or card board to put between the steel and the straps. The steel may not be sharp to the touch but when you have that much tension and the straps are constantly moving it will begin to fray and cut. I don't know how many straps I have seen get ruined because of this. All it takes is a little piece of cardboard to act as a buffer between the strap and steel.
I could go on and on, I have been around trailers all of my life, literally. My family owns and operates a trailer (horse, livestock, cargo, flatbed, utility, dump) sales business. I know I am only 23 but it is safe to say because I frequently pickup trailers new from the factory I have driven more miles with a trailer (or trailers) behind me than some have driven without trailers behind them.
Here is a load of 5 trailers I just brought back last weekend:
I know I am a little late, but if you look for another trailer or have friends looking for trailers in your area. Check out ABU Trailers (abutrailers.com). They have like 5 dealers in WI. They aren't a huge manufacture, but we have sold hundreds (probably even in the thousands) of these trailers with very few problems. They are extremely well built (in SE North Dakota). They are a little more expensive than the Load Trail, but they are in my opinion superior to them in quality and durability (paint, flooring, structure, axles, etc.)
Also, if you ever buy a different Electronic Brake controller don't buy anything else other than a Tekonsha product (my favorite is the Prodigy because of the technology and the fact it has saved my butt from stupid drivers a few times already).
tyman...thanks for the input. Some of us that pull a lot take things for granted so it is good to point out the straps. I tend to go to the high side for straps as I lost a race car in a crash and ensuing fire. Trailer rolled completely over and was laying on it's side with the dragster still strapped down. Someone else driving with my car and trailer.
I just saw a post on an rv forum where a guy has a 3/4 ton truck pulling a 34 foot tag and he also ran into the "bouncing" going down the highway. He is considerably overloaded even with load levelers however but this is what can happen if the trailer is not level. At least it evens it out some.
I've been pulling trailers since the early 70's with a dually and they just can't be beat. Either goose neck or 5th wheel or hitch. I've even pulled some big stuff like your tandem dually trailer and they are great.
Cool tow truck.
I figure I have been pulling about 10 years now. I am no stranger to loads like the one in the photo. I am like you, I prefer to use chains and binders, but they sometimes just don't work because you can't get a binder in without damaging the paint. I don't want to look in my rear view mirror and see a trailer (or whatever I am hauling) go flying off right in front of other traffic. I am also anal about checking my straps. I check it every time I fuel up and sometimes I will pull of at an exit to check after I have gone over some nasty bumps or I have had to rail on the brakes. Sometimes the slightest shift can loosen up the tightest chain.
As far as the RV goes, I personally prefer not to pull anything much longer than 20-22' on my bumper with or without load equalizers, unless it is a heavy duty truck. 34' is just ridiculous, he needs to take it in to a good welding/fabrication shop chop off the A frame for the bumper hitch and have them build a gooseneck. Problem solved! We have done that to a few units already, it really does make a difference.
Dually's are great towing rigs. They just suck for traction. Our tow rig is a dually, but we use it for plowing snow as well and it just sucks for traction. Thanks for the compliment on the rig. It tows like a dream, it is the 8100 Chevy with the 6spd Allison transmission. I am not a Chevy guy, but this rig is convincing me otherwise. We got the HD suspension and we added Air-Rite overload air bags so it sure can handle a heavy load. I had no problems driving 70-75 safely with that load. It handled well, stopped very well, and it barely noticed the hills. That 8100/Allison 6spd combo is amazing.
I like the Duramax too even though I'm died in the wool Dodge Cummins owner. Here is what I do in the winter...I have a queen water bed that I lay in the bed about the 1st of Nov and fill it up with water, 1200 pounds at least. I have another single just in case and it's 600 #. Once frozen it stays that way all winter. BTW I strap this thing in good and tight. I also have dually chains and I go anywhere I want even though I only drive the rear 4 wheels. 36" wet snow last winter. No 4wd made it out of the parking lot before me. I use good winter tires and common sense most of the time. haha

Does That gooseneck have a hitch on the rear or a Temporay pull point?
Do you run Brakes to the 2nd trailer?

Not to be missed
Doi means mountain in the northern Thai dialect, so Doi Suthep of course means Suthep Mountain. Doi Suthep's most famous feature is its temple, Wat Doi Suthep, and is part of Doi Suthep-Pui National Park. Finally, Suthep is the name of the western district of Chiang Mai city abutting said mountain and home to CMU, Chiang Mai Zoo and the fashionable Nimmanhemin Road area.
We'll come to Suthep district in our Chiang Mai area by area posts, and the national park is a wide subject, so for this post we'll stick to the mountain itself. At around 1,600m in height, and being within walking distance of downtown, Suthep certainly towers over the city.
Also usually clearly visible — even at night as it's lit up — is the temple just below the summit: Wat Doi Suthep or to give it its full name, Wat Phra Boromathat Doi Suthep Worawihan. Now if you hear people repeating the local saying that, "You haven't visited Chiang Mai unless you've visited Doi Suthep," they really mean unless you've gone up the mountain and had your photo taken in the temple with a view of the city in the background.
The temple is thought to date from the 14th century and is considered one of the most sacred sites in the region. It's certainly both an elaborate affair and spectacularly situated, as well as being hugely popular with local tourists.
From Chiang Mai Zoo at the foot of the mountain and at the end of Huay Kaew Road, a good road winds its way up Doi Suthep for 15 kilometres before reaching the car park and cafe area at the temple entrance. From here there's either 309 steps or a 30 baht tram fare to negotiate before you reach the temple proper. The road gets very steep so if you're going up there on a motorbike please take care!
On the way up Doi Suthep the road passes through dry dipterocarp, mixed deciduous and montane forest, emerging into pine once you reach Doi Pui, so it covers a wide range of flora and fauna and is particularly reputed for bird-life. There are also numerous viewpoints and several waterfalls, some more spectacular than others and all more picturesque during the rainy season. We've already posted a couple of waterfall hikes on Doi Suthep which you can find here.
Note if you enter the national park headquarters or visit any of the more popular falls you will have to pay the 200 baht park entry fee — if you just go to the temple you won't. The national park HQ buildings, botanical gardens and royal palace are all located above Wat Doi Suthep as the road continues to wind its way up to Doi Pui. It's all very scenic but again, take care here if you're on a motorbike — the road gets even steeper and even experienced riders may have problems. Most guesthouses and travel agents can organise inexpensive tours to Doi Suthep and Doi Pui.
How to get there
Doi Suthep can be reached by motorbike (it's a steep climb so do take care) or hired songthaew from Chiang Mai. A private songthaew will be pricey but shared songthaews depart from in front of Chiang Mai University on Nimmanhemin Road and cost 300 baht per person, dropping passengers for an hour each at Wat Doi Suthep, Phuping Palace and Doi Pui before taking them back to CMU. Alternatively, any guesthouse can organise group tours with English-speaking guides, but be prepared to pay significantly more for these.

Complete Memoirs of Casanova HTML version
London To Berlin
Bottarelli--A Letter from Pauline--The Avenging Parrot--Pocchini--Guerra, the Venetian-
-I Meet Sara Again; My Idea of Marrying Her and Settling in Switzerland--The
Thus ended the first act of the comedy; the second began the next morning. I was just
getting up, when I heard a noise at the street door, and on putting my head out of the
window I saw Pocchini, the scoundrel who had robbed me at Stuttgart trying to get into
my house. I cried out wrathfully that I would have nothing to do with him, and slammed
down my window.
A little later Goudar put in an appearance. He had got a copy of the St. James's Chronicle,
containing a brief report of my arrest, and of my being set a liberty under a bail of eighty
guineas. My name and the lady's were disguised, but Rostaing and Bottarelli were set
down plainly, and the editor praised their conduct. I felt as if I should like to know
Bottarelli, and begged Goudar to take me to him, and Martinelli, happening to call just
then, said he would come with us.
We entered a wretched room on the third floor of a wretched house, and there we beheld
a picture of the greatest misery. A woman and five children clothed in rags formed the
foreground, and in the background was Bottarelli, in an old dressing-gown, writing at a
table worthy of Philemon and Baucis. He rose as we came in, and the sight of him moved
me to compassion. I said,--
"Do you know me, sir?"
"No, sir, I do not."
"I am Casanova, against whom you bore false witness; whom you tried to cast into
"I am very sorry, but look around you and say what choice have I? I have no bread to
give my children. I will do as much in your favour another time for nothing."
"Are you not afraid of the gallows?"
"No, for perjury is not punished with death; besides it is very difficult to prove."
"I have heard you are a poet."
"Yes. I have lengthened the Didone and abridged the Demetrio."

Some clarifications.
When I said that you shouldn't lock your opponent, because you lock yourself I meant this. When you grab a good hold of your opponent from the bottom, then simultaneously you lock your own position. When you are in the bottom you don't want to stay there, you want to get out. You want to create space, get in a knee, get away. If you just hold on tightly then you give the guy on the top what he wants, control. You have to get his weight off, you have to get yourself in a better position for leverage. This is not done if you hold him, in any way. You should be pushing away from him, until you are in a spot where you once again can attack him and get control of him instead, that's the time to start locking him and holding him, when you are free to get control.
"It actually looks eerily similar to the arm-bar attempts that I was mentioning. Does this give you his back?"
Establish a good position. One good position is placing one of your forearms against his throat and the other forearm against his hip. Now you have something to push away from and something to spin against. You should try to get one of your knees under your opponent, play around with the space and be sure to bother his throat when you push out. Be careful with your arms and keep your elbows tucked in to your body most of the time. This is so your arms dont get caught and so you have good leverage and position. If you successfully put a knee under his body, then you should know use this leg and knee to spin around even more, you can now with your throat-hand push on his shoulder or head, and you should try to spin so that you can hook your other leg inside his thigh. Then you pull out your first knee and bring it around the guy.
This sounds like an interesting approach. I haven't thought of it, but I'l try it out the next time I get on the mat. It actually looks eerily similar to the arm-bar attempts that I was mentioning. Does this give you his back?"
No this does not give you his back, this pulls your opponent into your guard. In the starting position he is chest on your chest. You are trying to rotate underneath him, and getting him in between your legs, by first getting one knee under his body, then you continue rotating till you have both your legs around him, still lying on your back, and that is the guard.
Going for the back is not much you can hope for if you are having trouble escaping, especially since using the above forearm on his throat, you don't have the underhook needed to circle to his back. You could switch midway, go for the halfguard, and then the underhook and go for the back, but there are many details to that move that I wont cover now.
"While I don't usually try to do anything that can get my face crushed, like bridging without first controlling my opponents arms, I am not big on BJJ competition, so I don't really know."
Well I can't talk for much more than pure gi-BJJ. With punches you have a more complex game. But considering it being a side control, getting just one knee in should make plenty of distance to avoid punches enough. And an opponent will have a hard time landing punches and even elbows if he is very flat on your chest, so when he goes for the punishment, you will have space and you might accept perhaps a 50%-blow somewhere on your head, until you get half or full-guard and either lock one or both of his arms, or being in a fullguard you have greater control of the distance between you and you can hit him better than he can you, if you keep his weight off you.
"This is an interesting bit of gi grappling and I like the idea of controlling the arm. The idea of pushing his arm away might be difficult being on the bottom unless you are stronger then your opponent, which you cannot always count on."
It's actually not as much depending on strength as it is on the right moment to do it, once you have his elbow and he is facing away from you, you have very very good leverage on him, and you might even get the back from this. But the leverage here is him being very low on your chest, facing away and not having your arm trapped. The counter against this escape-technique is of course getting very high on your opponents chest, locking his arms behind your back, and virtually without anything interesting to do with his arms. Then you play for the mount.
"Yeah, give him your back. I may not be a master at BJJ, but even I can tell you that's not a good idea. I guess that's why it's a last resort, though."
The point of this idea is to explore all your options, sometimes you are able to instead of getting one knee inside of his body, you move your body very far away from him by circling and you might be able to go to your side and then roll over to your back, by switching your hip in a scissorlike manner, and then immidiately get on your knees. From the knees, even if he is on top of you, you have very good movement freedom and power. It's a more powerful position than most people realise, but since your head might be looking against the floor you need good sensitivity and awareness of what's going on with your opponent. There are plenty of takedowns you can do from here and you can for example pull guard, go for an omo plata, go for the back and lots of other things, depending on what your opponent does. What you are looking for most basically from this turtle position is to keep him in front of you, dont let him circle around your body, so grab what you can.
"Yeah, the layngay strategy is both boring and gets point deductions in BJJ competition. If he was talking about competing, which I doubt he was with being new to BJJ, then I apologize. I'm not a BJJ competitor."
Well I thougth that even though he is not talking about competition now, eventually he will compete in BJJ as I think most people that are serious want to. And even in his training at the club, BJJ rules apply and if someone is just lying and holding, it doesn't give any of them that very much, so either the two people sparring or the instructor should decide to switch positions. But then again who am I to say from which positions you learn alot, if you are lying down extremely controlled by your opponent you at least learn that you can be controlled if you get here, and it might be an incentive to be wary of the position and rolling up to all fours before your opponent has you in total control. Eg, roll up when you feel that he is passing your guard.
you guys are making me read WAY too much...

Young Legionnaire live in session. Yeah we did.
We exclusively debuted a live video from the new Young Legionnaire EP, Wreckonomics back in November and in celebration of the EP being released this week, we're unveiling a second video from the session! Oh yes, we saved one specially. The track is Killdozer, a brutal four minute assault.
The five track EP, recorded up and down the UK and mixed by the legendary Alex Newport (At The Drive In, Death Cab For Cutie, The Melvins) is out now on Wichita Records.
This comes after a blistering year that saw Young Legionnaire release their acclaimed debut album Crisis Works and play alongside the likes of Death From Above 1979, Les Savy Fav and Pulled Apart by Horses. Oh, and for the uninitiated, Young Legionnaire is the brain child of Gordon Moakes (Bloc Party) and Paul Mullen (yourcodenameis:milo) and is completed by full time drummer Dean Pearson. We spoke to Paul and Gordon about the upcoming EP, the session and the potential re-awakening of MILO.
On the day of the session we recorded two brand new tracks from your next release - Wreckonomics. Was an EP always the plan after your album launch back in May?
Not at all really. In fact it came about as an idea from the record label which we just ran with. We did have a couple of ideas we hadn't had time to flesh out before we started making the record, so we knew there was material there, and on top of that we went into a rehearsal space and worked up some brand new stuff too. In the end these songs all came together really quickly and pretty naturally - it just felt like an extension of the touring band we'd been for a while, and creatively I think we felt were just hitting our stride when these songs came together.
Do you find that EPs are replacing single releases now - or was it simply that you had new tracks you wanted to get out that didn't quite fit somewhere like Crisis Works?
We'd talked about doing one new track, or maybe two, but when it came to it, it seemed quite ambitious to try five or six. We were up for the challenge. I think there's a different pressure these days on bands to deliver 'unique content' all the time and there's nothing more unique than new songs! But at least that's asking a band to do what it does best, rather than saying, can you create more unique content on your Tumblr page, or whatever.
Speaking of the album, I remember catching you guys with Pulled Apart By Horses earlier in the year, were you anxious to get out on your own headline tour? And how did you find it?
Yeah, I think we wanted to try and build a reputation on our own terms, but you also have to be careful than you don't run before you can walk. It is harder to establish yourself as a live band than I think it was when Paul and I first started out in bands eight or so years ago. Back then, you got one journalist at your gig and news would travel fast. With the internet, the focus on bands is a little more disparate and a band like us can still be under some people's radar. But ultimately as band, you have to go out and play.
I think the shows on this tour we enjoyed most were London and Newcastle -our hometown shows, effectively. Glasgow was fun too. Festival-wise, I think we'd have liked to have done some more, but Sonisphere and Reading were both good fun.
I picked up a copy of the 7inch single you had out on Holy Roar Records - with Iron Dream and Colossus - from the outside it looks like quite a big move from Holy Roar to Wichita - can you tell us a bit about how that came about?
Well, in a way that was a little more 'retro-active' than the big jump from label to label that it looks like. I've had a long relationship with Wichita, and Mark Bowen, and it was always the plan to put a full-length out on Wichita as long as it was good enough. The link with Holy Roar came from William, our first drummer, who plays in a band called Brontide on Holy Roar. I think Mark thought kicking off our release schedule on a little label like Holy Roar was a perfect way to get things moving, so it was always part of the 'bigger picture'. It was a good fit.
There are an awful lot of artists on our site who ask how important it is to 'get signed' or find 'a deal' - after being involved for so long yourselves, is there any advice you would offer those just starting out?
I have mixed feelings about this and I think it depends on your band, bottom line. I think if you're Slow Club and the sound you make is just two of you in a room playing guitars and a tom drum you don't necessarily need a record deal any more. If you're good, it will build from there and long-term you can turn it into something that has a life of its own and may well generate money for you and a label.
For a band like us, I think we felt there was an injection of cash that would make a difference to the gear we could record on, and give the album some sonic strength that you can't just get for free. But I've learnt a lot doing this too, and how some of the way it was being in a band that got signed are starting to be old hat. You've got to learn to adapt to different expectations. But ultimately you need to hone yourself as a live band, any label will tell you that. From that. all things will flow.
Are any of you involved in any new musical side-projects we should be looking out for? Heard a rumour that things might be happening with yourcodenameis:milo...
I have mentioned in the past that Milo isn't dead. Just resting. He's got some unfinished business. When will he wake? I don't know. Once in a while Milo meets with his old friends in The Cluny and has a big fuck off burger. Maybe when the burgers run out.
I have also joined Losers with Eddy Temple-Morris, Tom Bellamy (Ex Coopers) and Mark Heron (ex Oceansize). We're putting the finishing touches to Album 2. Should be out early 2012.
Lastly, are there any bands you've seen, or played with, that have had a particular impact on you?
There's a band called Grass Is Green from Boston MA. They had a song called Uhm Tsk from Yeddo. Best thing I've heard in a long time. And So I Watch You From Afar are the best thing I've seen live this year.

But seems to me that if you did the 50' move and shake and put the hive entrance down to the smallest entrance using a reducer any fighting would take place out side the hive. If they let the other foragers in the small entrance wouldn't that be a sign of acceptance?

The All Blacks weathered England's early forward dominance and then scored 34 points in only 21 minutes either side of the interval, rendering Topsy Ojo's double on debut mere consolation.
Tindall cut a frustrated figure at the manner in which the All Blacks exploited glaring defensive errors - but he insists England can perform a remarkable turnaround in the space of seven days.
Tindall said: "We have to believe that or what is the point in being here? If I didn't believe we were good enough to compete on this level why would I be playing?
"New Zealand made it hard but I don't think they are invincible. That is for us to try and prove next week.
"The worst thing is you don't feel like they earned it. They just walked though our defensive line.
"It is more frustrating than anything. We made a lot of errors and they are the most clinical team in world rugby.
"I believe we didn't present all we have. We saw glimpses of it in the first 20 minutes when we should have scored but after that we were pretty average.
"We didn't really have a go until the last 15 minutes. We have great forwards who can carry the ball and we didn't get them into the game.
"We need to find ways to get runners into the game. We have got a team built for fast ball. The All Blacks make it hard but we need to get it."
The post-match debrief will have been painful for a number of players, not least Charlie Hodgson, whose defensive deficiencies were shown up by Ma'a Nonu before he was replaced after only 50 minutes.
But he was not alone. England conceded three of the four tries directly from set-pieces, which left defence coach Mike Ford "embarrassed".
Tindall, the oldest member of England's new-look starting XV at 29, stated it was unacceptable at Test level.
"It wasn't a lack of composure. That doesn't come into it when you can't defend set-pieces. That is just accuracy," he said.
"You work on defence all week and then it doesn't stack up on the field. It is frustrating because it wasn't even anything spectacular (from New Zealand).
"This was the first outing of a new squad and it didn't go very well.
"Steve and I will have to take a look at the game, sit down with the coaches, work out what we will do next week and come up with a gameplan.
"A lot of the problems were based around mistakes and set-piece defence. We did not build on that first 20 minutes and we need to find a way to change that.
"It is about hard work and about being wise."

Social Security
Ask Social Security Questions and Get Answers ASAP
Hello and thank you for your question.
I'm not certain what you mean by "pay your Social Security tax until your birthday"
Can you please elaborate?
I guess I mean continue to pay into it even if I am not working.
If you are required to pay into the Social Security system because you are a wage earner or you are self employed, you must always pay into the system
This is true even AFTER you retire.
Ifyou are 83 and working for Wal-Mart as their employee, you sill pay into the Social Security system
You will be, in effect, funding part of your own retirement.
However, your benefit is re-evaluated annually. If you work enough such that it represents one of the highest 35 YEARS of income, then your benefit may nudge up slightly. It will never go back down.
If you retire in January, then you will not be working in Feb-Apr, so there is nothing to pay in.

VBOA news

The Virginia Board of Accountancy has contracted with the Virginia Society of CPAs as the sole provider of the Virginia-Specific Ethics Course content and material for the 2017 course.
Sponsors who are interested in providing the Virginia-Specific Ethics Course must meet the following requirements:
The VBOA has also approved that all instructors of the Virginia-Specific Ethics Course must hold an active, in good standing, Virginia CPA license.
Potential sponsors will complete the 2017 Virginia-Specific Ethics Course Sponsor/Provider application certifying the ethics material will be obtained from the VSCPA, provide a list of course instructors and submit it to the VBOA for approval. Once approved, the sponsor will appear on the VBOA website as an approved provider of the Virginia-Specific Ethics Course.
The VBOA will not accept any Virginia-Specific Ethics
Course completed from a non-approved sponsor and the licensee
will be penalized for not completing the approved course.
Please contact the VBOA Director of Operations, Mary Charity, by phone at (804) 367-0495 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions.
Read the winter 2017 VBOA newsletterJanuary 2017
Accrued Interest, the Virginia Board of Accountancy's winter 2017 newsletter, is ready for the Virginia CPA and exam candidate community. Filled with news and updates from the last few months, this biannual newsletter remains one of the VBOA's central sources of communicating to the licensees and exam candidates.
This winter issue includes more information about the release of the new CPA exam on April 1, 2017, CPE reminders for CPAs to remain compliant, VBOA news, Board Disciplinary Actions and much more.
Feel free to contact Kelli Anderson, VBOA Communications Manager, at firstname.lastname@example.com or at (804) 367-1586 with any comments and suggestions.
Also, please don't forget to take a look back at the VBOA's previous newsletters.
VBOA holds Board meeting on campusNovember 2016
The idea was simple but profound. What better way to educate future Virginia CPAs on the responsibilities of the Virginia Board of Accountancy than to hold actual board meetings on a college campus? Wade Jewell, VBOA Executive Director, realized the outreach potential of such an idea to accounting faculty and students and took the show on the road.
One board meeting a year is held at a Virginia college or university campus.
Since October 2010, board meetings have been held at Virginia Commonwealth University, Old Dominion University, Virginia State University, University of Richmond, Longwood University, William & Mary, James Madison University and most recently Christopher Newport University in November 2016.
If you are a faculty member of a Virginia college or university and would like your students to get an on-campus look at the inner workings of the VBOA, contact the Communications Manager at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Virginia Governor names VBOA board member appointmentsJuly 2016
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe announced new appointments to his administration on Friday, June 24, including reappointing two current board members to a second term and naming one new member to the Virginia Board of Accountancy.
Both Stephanie S. Saunders, CPA, of Virginia Beach, and Matthew P. Bosher, of Richmond, have been reappointed for a second term. Saunders served as the 2015-16 board chair.
Laurie A. Warwick, CPA, of Ashburn, is the newest member to join the seven member board.
Warwick has been with Ernst & Young for more than 20 years. Currently she is the Assurance Executive Director and executes multiple external audit engagements within the Greater Washington D.C. offices.
Warwick begins her four-year term on July 1, 2016, and succeeds previous board member and 2015-16 board vice chair Marc B. Moyers, CPA.
CPA exam changes in 2017May 2016
On April 1, 2017, the AICPA will launch the next version of the Uniform CPA Examination, a four-section (AUD, BEC, FAR and REG), 16-hour assessment (four hours per section) that places a greater emphasis on testing a candidate's higher-order cognitive skills such as critical thinking and analytical ability. Through multiple-choice questions and an increased use of task-based simulations in all sections of the exam, as well as written responses in BEC, candidates will be presented with questions that test the knowledge and skills that a newly licensed CPA must possess.
To learn more about the CPA exam changes and frequently asked questions as candidates prepare to take the exam, visit the AICPA's website for all the details.
Active - CPE Exempt status now availableJuly 2014
The Virginia Board of Accountancy is pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for our new status, Active - CPE Exempt.
CPAs who qualify for this status will be allowed to renew their licenses annually by paying the renewal fee and continue to use the CPA title but will not need to fulfill CPE requirements.
A change in status requires approval by VBOA through an application process, including submission of a company bio/resume and job description, if currently employed when applying for the status change.
Please complete the Change of License Status Request Form on our website and return it to the VBOA office for review and approval. We encourage you to contact us with any questions or concerns regarding this new status at (804) 367-8505 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
CPAverify: Online Search Tool for the Public to Verify CPAs and CPA FirmsMarch 2012
CPAverify.org provides an online search for employers, professionals and the general public allowing anyone who may need to verify the status of an individual CPA and/or public accounting firm. Licensing information is provided by participating state boards of accountancy, including the VBOA. This online central repository of information on licensed CPAs and CPA firms is maintained by the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) to make available a single-search resource covering participating jurisdictions where an individual or firm has been licensed.
With the wide spread mobility legislation, the need for the public to determine if an individual or firm is licensed and in good standing is more important than ever.
CPAverify minimizes the need for consumers to check individually with each state board of accountancy to determine a CPA's license status. With the support of participating state boards, this tool allows the public an opportunity to check the status of multiple licenses a CPA holds at one website with a single search.
CPAmobility: Online Search Tool for CPAs who Practice Across State BordersMarch 2012
A joint project of the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) and the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), CPAmobility.org is an online tool to help CPAs navigate the practice privilege requirements that allow CPAs to more easily work across jurisdictional borders. This tool is especially helpful to northern Virginia CPAs whose practice includes clients in Maryland and Washington D.C.
The site works by posing three questions to the CPA:
After processing, the site displays requirements on licensing and registration of relevant jurisdictions allowing CPAs to spend valuable time on business opportunities rather than regulatory compliancy. Contact information for state boards of accountancy is also available on the CPAmobility search engine. NASBA and the AICPA hope you will find CPAmobility to be a resourceful tool with the potential to educate CPAs on mobility requirements and regulations.

So, we entered Peru, winding down from the Andean highs into the arid desert that is the Peruvian coast we were really happy to be headed to sea level after so long up high. After a quick stop in Piura it was through the land of sand to Mancora, at the northern tip of Peru for some sea and sun! Mancora reminded me (Alex) of the south east Asian beach resorts- pretty but tacky. We had plenty of fun, running in the desert, swimming in the sea and eating some good food. Our lovely hostel was (luckily) situated high above the boardwalk part of the town, so we were abel to mostly avoid the grating club music that the bars played even when empty. After rejuvenating on the sun and sand, on we went.
Our next stop, further down the coast was the pleasant town of Chiclayo which is famous for the Sipan ruins, a recent discovery which is still being excavated and one of the oldest known civilisations
We headed down the coast (there's a theme here, from tip to tip we hugged the coast) to Huanchaco, just outside Trujillo to see some more ruins (this is Peru after all). The Chan Chan ruins are essentially reconstructed clay temples (which again outdate the likes of Machu Pichu) which were quite interesting but we had started growing slightly weary if Peru. We noticed really big differences between our travels in Colombia and Ecuador and missed friendly locals, who loved showing us things, talking, and sharing. We also missed small towns, and the little things (food!!)
We headed down to Lima unsure what to find and where pleased to find a lively metropolitan city (and Lawrence) with great coastal views, parks, churches, cafes etc. The Catacombs, pictured, where really interesting, 25,000 people buried under a church is no joke!
So, the three of us, headed down the cost to Pisco, home of the Pisco sour! (Anna liked it Alex didn't). The purpose in Pisco was to see the Isles Ballestas, their nickname, the poor mans Galapagos, says it all! (we missed these out due to cost in Ecuador!). It was great fun, Penguins, Sea lions, birds by the million very impressive! Pelicans cruising alongside the speed boat like fighter jets where really cool.
On the trip South to Lake Titacaca we stopped briefly in Chala (amazing scenery but not much else), Arequipa, further inland set within striking scenery of volcanoes and a huge monastery that remained cut off from the outside world until recently (some nice pics below).
Lake Titicaca, at 3,800metres (12,500 feet) is the worlds highest fresh water lake and famous for it�s floating islands, Urus islands. We did the obligutary trip over on the toutist boat to see how people live on these islands, but unfortunately encountered a world of carefuly crafted tourist activities and stalls selling things from the mainland! This did kind of sum up our trip to Peru really...
Something was missing which we can't quite put our fingers on, is it the tourists? Everyone trying to sell you a tour somewhere? Locals obviuosly long ago lost interest in talking to tourists? Either way we were slightly underwhelmed and are really looking forward to Bolivia, which promises to be slightly rawer and maybe even the chance to interact with local cultures again! Good thing our Spanish is improving then!
A bit of a disappointment for us both really…
P.S. We are now well into Bolivia now and are loving it- an update will follow shortly…
