OMG. Palmira is so freaking good. The beef cheek, mac & cheese, and mustard cole slaw must be laced with crack. Can't stop thinking about it.

Just figured this might be interesting to the forum, especially given the timeline. The video makes more sense than the outline there if it peaks your interest.

It's "pique" not peak.

I am sorry for your loss. It's natural to be sad after something like this. Therapy also won't hurt and I can recommend a great one in Natchitoches if you like.

That hell hole would be a con, not a pro from me. Rumor is there’s some dystopian shite going on there as far as them tracking where people at all times when they’re there

That's very concerning... but the bbq is good.

Where, when and how to apply? I don't have a fake email account for the OT, but guess I can make one.

There really isn't' time in the undergrad curriculum to do much excel training. I gave a managerial class a spreadsheet assignment and it nearly broke them, even after we went over all the things they needed to do in class.

However, graduate MSA programs typically have a Data Analytics and/or Advanced AIS courses. When I teach those, I always give cases that require students to use either Tableau or Alteryx.

Christine Cheng at Ole Miss (formerly at LSU) has some fantastic cases published on using these tools in accounting courses.

It is a lot of work to grade a spreadsheet assignment and students cheat, which is frustrating, especially when the smart student puts their name in the footer and the dummy who copied it doesn't remove it. You then have to report both students to the academic integrity board who might let you give both a 0 on the assignment.

Agencies have the option of using the IG's office or an external auditor. EY does a lot of government agency audits and the other Big 3 do some as well.

You are clearly uninformed about the state of the federal government agencies financial reporting systems.

The different agencies use different antiquated systems, which have been cited as specific IT material weaknesses in multiple agencies' audits for years with no remedy. The DOD has failed its annual audit numerous times (not sure they've ever passed).

It is an epic clusterf*ck.

I haven't really seen any news coverage. The water is going down some, so residents are able to find spots with a bar of cell service and videos of the area are coming out on social media.

We have a cabin near the Mt. Mitchell golf course that can't be reached by the neighbor just down the road about 1/4 because electric lines are in the way. He can't go further down the mountain because the road is washed out and water is still up, but was able to see houses along the S. Toe River were severely damaged/destroyed and a mudslide. The people in the mudslide area can't get out because the bridge is destroyed and the road is washed out on the other side. Other neighborhoods around the course have mudslides over the road.

None of my neighbors can get in touch with all the folks across the highway.

Now, multiply that times all the little side roads and campgrounds and rivers and it is overwhelming.

Nobody has potable water or electricity and no help is coming for a while because it is literally impossible to get there. It isn't a small area, either. It is like Katrina and the 2016 floods spawned and had a nightmare weather event across 4 states..

I texted with a friend in Little Switzerland (behind the Inn) yesterday morning and she said trees and powerlines were down. Lots of roads in that area closed for many reasons. Cell service practically nonexistant.
