Hello, and welcome back to the craft box. My name is Brent and today we are doing some Beast moon hunting and actually doing the beast moon hunt today because I thought we should probably do that So yeah, welcome to the beast moon hunt. We are in blue team blue. We can't change our badge unfortunately So we're gonna use the same badge as yesterday. Oh well.  What are they going? They've got one who's not around Okay, not too bad. Not too bad. I don't know which is the one that you can't use I'm assuming from what it was like. I think it might be the Crocker mummy possibly Yes, that is right. It is the Crocker mummy this time. This is for this month's October obviously Beast moon hunt. So yeah, just so you know, Crocker mummy cannot be used. You have to upgrade it Let's go I should also turn off caps. So basically what I always do I always go left And take this one over here real fast First off just to get some points. You should always always try and get as many points If people come definitely come and help them as well Someone's taking up the moon as well, which is always a good idea. Always a good idea then I just basically go straight through and Not get in battle here, but try and get the next one I also don't need to know where the red and blue team bases are which is Sun We're gonna have a battle here. No doubts. So You know, we might just chill a bit We might find some pip wisps because pips are cool Really really important to have pips. Otherwise, you're kind of screwed There's a dude just chilling here. Don't get into fights. Really a good idea Just never get into fights where you hear who's that that is That is I is currently contested. So we could go over here Yo, help I I'm gonna quickly catch up stuff because I can I see that I see him. I see if he's like hello the myth guy Myth guy and he's like, I do you want to fight me? He wants to fight me Should I should I do it? Yeah, I might do it. I might do it. I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it. I do it. I do it Let's do this. So what I'm gonna do is we're gonna obviously zero pip. He's got max pips So not the best idea. We probably screwed here, but hey, what can you do? Do we have full team? We do have full team and they also have full team, which is good. Hey, don't when people leave I really do so frustrating so so frustrating. Also, I didn't buy any battle cards I usually buy battle cards. I didn't this time. So if I die, I'll go buy some battle cards absorb 50 That ain't cool that really ain't cool Gotta get that. I mean we could I mean we could just save up for for the mogasa thingy That will go through it anyway because it's a Healy boy. So yeah, that's fine. Okay, this doesn't do too much. It's fine. We have be a decent bit of health Yeah Moongloom Wraith can we do it? Yeah, I think we can I think we should we do it It should take off at least a lot of his health I would say at least a lot that is a great description of it goes right through the absorb because that's how absorbers work If you didn't know drain spells don't react with absorbs Is everybody seriously everybody in combat you can see up in the map where everybody is Obviously, we're in the blue team. So we can only see the blue team unless they're in combat How's it in doing? Yeah, how is it in doing? Wow, of course you admin in you really would wouldn't you we could do this into something I don't know if I want to though. I Mean we could do this into this I think it might be a good idea. We could die here. We could very well die So we'll see this isn't actually doing too much which is 250 not the not ideal We'll see I'm not too Good at playing this. I'm not the best at battles. I know kind of what to do I'm just not really good at battles, but just fine. Um that minion is freakin painful and I don't like it at all What we will do is we'll do pale maiden. It should hopefully take us over the amount of damage that we need to destroy We just need one more One more pip he also needs one more pip unfortunately. He goes first next, which is not good This probably will not kill me cannot do it did do 200 oof Oof rip. That's not good. That is not good at all. That is really not good Let's buy some battle cards probably a good idea I usually go for one escape and we can actually have three which is good. I might go for a Um Stench bug because the zero pips always useful and a What else do I want? What do I want? I? Guess one of these could be useful. Yeah, we'll get that 20 not too bad We have a lot farming the beast moon seeds give you them. So yeah Yeah, we just need to wait for like forever I really don't like the length of time it takes to wait, but I think we can go now They must have shortened that actually because it used to be forever and now it is not forever So I like that a lot. I might go. How many do they have a life? They have One active so we might go and start flipping. We got a pip which is good. Pip is always good All was good. We will start flipping because we are not doing it too.  We're just gonna be here for a while Yeah, once you've already caught one you it takes a while to capture the next one But hey, that's just how it goes. That is how it goes. You know what? I'd really like them to do I would love if they would like change up the battlefield like have different sort of like areas That would be cool because obviously this one is technically the mirage one You can hear from the music I think it would be really really cool. Let's get this pip wasp and then we'll go over to star real fast Pip pip me up. Thank you Thank you for pipping me up and we will get a basement chest No, we don't need a basement chest They give battle cards. So if you don't want to buy them or you have no battle coins you can get the chest They also give battle coins as well So yeah, that's fun, that's fun Just don't flee we'll lose points. That is true That is true Don't flee if you if you're in a fight and you've got other people don't flee Because you do lose points instantly So the only the only reason I say you should flee is if you like guaranteed to kill like your team is guaranteed to kill If you can do that, then you can definitely flee, but otherwise Not a not a not a good idea not a good idea at all. I think someone might be coming over our way because Moon has been flipped again, which is not cool not ideal. Do not like it. Do not like it at all Oh, there's blue guy. Hi blue guy. Hi Cole No, I'm saying don't flee. Yeah, don't flee. Don't do it at all. Never do it never flee never do the flee Not a good idea not zero out of 10. Um, also the more people you have in a circle the faster it goes This is like a really basic Video just to explain how I guess I don't know Yeah, there we go. We got the eye nice work Nice work. Let's go. Well, we didn't get the eye. We got the moon. They got the eye We need to take the eye So we'll do that get that pip. Yeah, good job Good job. Oh, the stars been flipped basically at the moment. This is just a game of flipping And it does get that sometimes so, you know, if it does just deal with it just flip Always a good idea, especially just to get points just keep flipping them Especially if you have more people active really really good to just keep flipping Um Battles are good, but also Also not at the same time, you know Also not just because there's more chance that you lose points Okay, we got a red boy. Hi wolf. You want to fight me? Do I got a moon? Do don't do don't let's get this fight on what we're gonna do all that could be spicy 200 over four rounds. Um, actually, we'll just do this because we we can save up pips with this So we should be okay. Okay. Everybody's fighting which is not bad. Um, these mantles so frustrating. Luckily we powered which is really good Um Generally everything is a hundred percent chance Um, unless you get a mantle and then obviously it's not a hundred percent chance anymore Okay, we're just gonna keep spamming this because why not? Why not if we have it might as well Might as well keep spamming it. Yes, please Yes, please um Oh Resurrect nice or resuscitate. Sorry not resurrect resuscitate. Good job. Good job. Always really good if you're the um The healer to put up a resuscitate or resurrect or whatever you want to call it guardian angel Um, as soon as you can really good idea um 11 hour 10 would recommend So we've got five pips now which is good. We can do big boy aoe. Hopefully we can actually get A drain because I think he might do something kind of okay kind of okay, but um, we don't so what we will do um I mean, I don't think anybody's gonna help Um, how many do they have? I don't know. We're gonna look later. We're gonna do this just because we can Um, they have everybody in combat. So no one's going to go for spiral if we can do this We will definitely um go to spiral real fast um Yeah Is someone like is someone in our team alive? No one two three four five six one two three four five six Yeah, everyone's in combat. Yeah Um Yeah You can always check just press tab to bring up this list by the way if you didn't know if you didn't know And you can also see the red team all of them are in combat as well. Obviously Um, there's three there two there one there. Um, let's go for um We'll get two. I will move three Um Only this um I'll go I need to turn off caps. I really do. I'll um go spiral Okay, hopefully this can kill this shouldn't be too bad. Yep. This should definitely kill easy peasy Um Gigi boys, we did it. Nice work. He's dead. We get points. We captured the thing easy clap boys Um, definitely Okay, let's get the pip wisps Just in case Definitely got to get that spiral.  So I will stay here. That's how it goes. Um Yeah, I'll stay Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom. Okay, basically good teamwork is good. Um, we've closed up the gap as well Which is really really good. I have max pips which is dope. Um, we are capturing. Um, what is what is that one star? I think yep star. Oh, hello. Hello. Um How a spiral Fight me billy fight me. Yeah, that's right. That's right.  Um, what is this 150? Let's just do this on her. Um, the death minion so annoying. So really really annoying death stuff is frustrating Don't like them at all.  How many people is free? They've got two free. We've got two free as well. Okay, that's fine. That's fine Tis fine. Um, we should be all okay. Hopefully He's not full health, which is not good really not good. Don't come into a fight. Not full health.  Um, I might try and save up for a hit all I am going to do this on him because obviously the minus 45 is really really useful Um, we might actually even take him out, which is dope Taking him out first try first round even better hit dragon first. Yeah Um, some people hit the healers first some teams don't Um, it's just how how some teams work and others don't it's you know, some people suggest you take out the The storm guy first the wolf, but others want you to take out the healer The death one's always good to leave the last because they're just especially the dark sprite is just gonna stay there forever for absolutely forever So, um, you know, just leave that alone and get get these guys out would be a good idea Always a good idea to do that Um healer can be frustrating So yeah, unfortunately, we don't have our healer in this fight So, um, I do need to kind of step up a bit. Hopefully Hopefully I can do that. Hopefully I can do that Um, can I go for this? I can this should um, hopefully kill This should kill him. Okay. Okay. Um, I'll let the storm guy I'll I'll do this. I'll do this. Um, someone else do something else. This should kill I yeah, yeah, we'll do two. Um, we'll do that.  He's passing. Nice. Okay. Always good when the wolf passes always good because he does have a five pip I think it's five pip aoe It is painful. Don't agree. Don't do that. Not cool Not cool at all. Um, I don't think we in the end hit the dragon because the guy the wolf was like Let me hurt him.  That's fine. It's not healing which is kind of good It's actually very good that it's not healing. Um I can probably I can't actually do much next round. I think I've only got one pip Next round possibly. I'm not sure though. I'm not sure. Okay. The dark sprite is dead. Always a good thing Always a good thing. Unfortunately the dragon is is gonna heal Um, which is not the best, but hey, that's fine. Um We're gonna get some pips. Why did he flee? Why did he flee? No, not good enough. Um Too late really too late too late too late um, okay Haley fled as well. Um, what would be unfortunately that does mean um Yeah, I'll do an aoe at three pips. That is three pips for an aoe for the storm Um, I'm just gonna try and get a bit more damage through the absorb as possible Um, always a good idea always a good idea to get that damage on Um, he's resurrecting which is not the best not the best Um, so essentially if we kill him, he's gonna come back which yeah. Yeah. Yeah, not the best Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to do more work gonna have to do more work Um, I'm surprised they're not really hitting me which is I'm really surprised about that Um, I personally would hit me if I was them, but hey, that's fine Um, I'm gonna get out wolf a bit Because we need to because we need to Um, try to put another dot on the storm guy, but yeah. Hey, it's it's not the best I thought you said you wanted me This is all I can do. I don't have many many hits This is all I can do I can only spam almost zero pip hits. This is legitimately all I can do All I can do I apologize I did it. Yes. Look at me go Look at me go Unfortunately gets 200 health back, but that's fine. It's fine. We we tried. He's gonna probably hit me. I would say Um, I mean, okay. This is good. This is good. I can kill Um What is this this is 125? Yeah, we we should be fine. Should be fine.  This is probably gonna hit the Yeah, hit him. Don't worry. Don't worry though. I killed the dragon, which is dope Um, I also did this just in case they hit me as well. So if they did hit me Um, I would have obviously got my health back, which is really really useful Um, it didn't quite kill. He's got like 25 left. So, um Um, we're going to lose. That's not the attitude, mate. That is not the attitude I can clutch this trust me. I am the master deficit. I can clutch the most The most of all, um, this is not good. This is a blade as well, which is not nice. Not nice. Hopefully Um, I'm also out of pips, which is not good because they basically made me hit Um, and then not hit and then you know frustrate. He's gonna do a big hit I don't know what because the only he can't do much. He actually can't do much Um, okay, we're just gonna pass. I can't do anything at the moment Okay, I'm dead. I mean they're trying to they're using life because um Actually, I don't know why they're using life because it doesn't boost against me. So, um, if they had a myth It would have been better. Um, up in the top right corner, you can see, um, what boosts what? Um, so yeah, obviously death boosts life Um, I'm going to discard this. I kind of want to save up for the aoe But also at the same time, I kind of don't So, um, I I might I'm gonna just pass. I'm gonna pass. I'm gonna pass. I've got a couple more hits up my sleeve I think he might kill me actually, but I there's nothing I can do to get my health back So it's just how it has to be just how it has to be really Um, which is fine, which is fine. Okay. That's not a good heel Not a good heel. Um, don't like that because it gives a blade as well. Not nice not nice Okay, we're getting so many of these. Um, I kind of just want to if I'm going to do that I would kind of want the aoe version. Um, just because you know, that's probably been a Um, I'm gonna wait two rounds two rounds Two rounds. I I'm probably dead, but hey, that's just how it goes. That is just how it goes really What is this? I've never seen this spell before never I clutched. I'm good gk. I'm dead. It's fine um It's fine. It is fine. That is just how it goes if if he the wolf wasn't so, um, bossy and aggressive Um, right at the start would have been far better, but hey, that's how it goes Um, let's get some more of this. Let's get another stench bug and a, um We'll get that as well just because I know they have a life wizard now Um, I could have known before but hey, that's just how it goes 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 We're still winning somehow, which is kind of crazy Go go go. Yeah, let's do this Okay, let's get this perp wasp always good to get perp wasps as always just just definitely get them just definitely do it Um, we're gonna go center You are not pulling me today. Mr. Wolfie boy. You are not pulling me at all Um, is there anybody at spiral? No, there's not. Okay. Okay. Here we go. Let's try spiral again Let's try spiral again. Hopefully if we can just keep taking Um, another really good way is just to keep taking the the things just all over the place Especially if they've got a lot of people in battle. Um Really really useful Really really really useful Yeah, that's right. Mr. Scarlet. It's not a mister, but that's fine. It's right scarlet. You don't want to catch these hands Um If scarlet came in that would be so good. We could absolutely obliterate her absolutely obliterate. I'm not gonna leave Um, I'm too smart for that too smart way too smart for that. How many do we have active? We have three one of them's up there and there's two here. Obviously Um, I mean I could probably take out the I can probably okay Engage help spiral Gotta help that spiral Let's go I'm just gonna try and take out the Scarlet the scarlet the scarlet it is the scarlet. Um, actually I'm gonna pass I'm gonna pass this run. I'll see if I can save up for a I might actually even trap for Um, is this a zero put? Is that a zero put or one put? Um, I have a trap for you Um, yes, hopefully Hopefully we should be fine. We've got three now, which is really good Um, so that was a two-pip. Geez. Why would you waste two pips on that? Like seriously?  Okay Hit key we can do this. Let's go boys. Ciao Well, let's put that dot on because that's all I'm good for dots. Ha ha ha ha ha Um, what I will do next however is um I will put a trap on next because it's probably a good idea. I only have anything supposed left Emily, that's the hella. That is the hella the hella girl. Um, who is he gonna hit? Okay, he's gonna hit key. Um, how much does that do 200? That should be fine. That should be fine. Um I'm just gonna pass Even if he has. Yeah I mean, he won't be healing anytime soon Uh, yeah, probably Um, probably the dragon would be good to get out next. Okay. This should definitely kill like easy clap. Don't even need. Yeah. Nice Nice gotta give that team some Good good positive vibes Oh, he got healed. I'm lucky. I'm lucky. Um, definitely the dragon so ball. Yep Um, don't worry though.  We need a couple more. Um, I'm stunning stone. Nice. Okay. It's not actually hitting hitting her, but that's fine Okay, this should do a decent amount. This should do 200 ish Oh one seven five. Sorry. I can't remember what the boost is. I never never do never do remember what the boost is Um, I think everybody's busy. Everybody and every team is busy, which is really good um Um, so I mean hopefully we can just stall it out long enough to not be too big of an Issue. I don't know why you did that. Um, this this um dark sprite is saving up for something big I completely forgot about her um Really not a good idea to do that because um, the dark sprite is actually very dangerous Um, especially when it gets a lot of pips all the death ones are just really dangerous with a lot of pips Um, okay. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. This is a hill on the on the storm, but that's fine That is fine. The storm can be killed as much as it wants. I don't really care um Because it's easy to get out once the life is out. So yeah, basically you've got to do that. You've got to go fast Um, that's on the gem. How much does that do 50? Okay 150. Here we go. Um, easy clap life out Easy clap the life out This is an aoe for sure. I can't remember which one it is. What it is. It's the banshee Does this do anything? It doesn't do damage. This is not good. This is really not good. Um, hopefully I can clutch I'm really hoping I can clutch Um, really really hoping I can clutch this It does have a blade the storm I'm worried about. Oh, it's just hitting him. Okay interesting Interesting. I thought he would go for the aoe apparently not apparently not Gigi nice work. We did it. Nice. And that's how you win boys. That is how you win Wow, would this kill would this have killed? I think it would have, right? We can't see the damage. I think it killed. Yeah, must have killed. It did kill gg. Okay Um, continue. Look how many did we have? We had um, we knocked out one person, which is good We captured um, seven by time one by combat. We defeat we got defeated twice, but that's fine Who did the most? Um scarlet did like nine player kills. Whoo impressive Um, some people are really good. We got a beast moon seat. We got hunter's moonstone eldritch thread Balanced thread lunari, um and hasty harvests. Nice. Well, that is all we have for today Thank you for watching. Hope you enjoyed. If you want to see me do some more beast moon hunt Let me know down in the book down in the comments below. I love this game mode. I really really do It's probably the best um, the best thing and wins at the moment In my opinion. So yeah, we will be getting some more of the beast moon completionist series done as well. Um, I think Let's have a quick check of our badges. I haven't actually done any for a while So, um, yeah, we're up to winning 14 of 25, which we're kind of on our way to I don't think there's another Um, complete or Participate one. So we just need to get up to a whole bunch more. Um, winning which is not too bad We're not too far away from that But anyway, thank you for watching room to like and subscribe if you're a subscribe press the little bell So you know exactly when I post another video and remember to craft outside the box


Hey mum, I found my ball. Hi dad. Yeah, I've decided we are just going to leave early. I'm heading off now. Hey mum, I found my ball. Hi dad. Nah, it's too early. I think we'll stay for now. It'll be okay baby. It's gonna be okay.


What do you think, if a man owns a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the 99 on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the 99 that did not wander. Are you the sheep that's gone astray?  The Holy Spirit is more patient than you are stubborn, more loving than you are flawed. You haven't gone too far. Your mess isn't too big. Like the shepherd who goes after the one, the Holy Spirit is pursuing you.


I want to ask you about something that I seen and I didn't even know it all the times you have been on here. I knew that you knew Smoothie, but I didn't know that y'all had a song that y'all had done together and what tripped me out was when I seen it, you were holding your own on it, man. I just want you to give me a rundown on the process of that song and kind of just tell me how it all transpired. I don't laugh, but that was my doll. You know what I'm saying? We came up together. You know what I'm saying? So yeah, you know what I'm saying? At that time, me and him was coming up with the songs from our different point of views and perspectives at the time. You know what I'm saying? We was trying to make something happen. He did a little song called Mix and Emotions for me and I did What Them Dollars Is for him. You know what I'm saying? So yeah. You know what I'm saying? It came to be how it is. I think we got like 31,000 on that mold. It's climbing too, you know what I'm saying? What was the whole process? Just run me down through there on just the song. What was your hook? You sung a hook on that. What was it?   I have to pay you for you later when he fuckin' with me. Niggas know me.  He know me. So yeah. Like I said, when I seen you on that video, man, I was like, that's a dope video and I know he brings the pain. I love Smoothie. Yeah. Smoothie is a native from Boss Talk 101. I always call him up and chop it up with him, man. And when we interview him, I always just always be happy to get with him in the 50s. How'd you feel about him signing to 1501? Man, I think that was a great move for him. I been new. He already told me beforehand. I ain't fuckin' with your best friend, L-R-E-E.  You know what I'm saying? He got to this platform. We already knew that he was gonna be who he is today, so you know what I'm saying? But I'm still doing what you're doing. I'm still supporting my dog. Correct. But which y'all ever worked together again? Hell yeah. Yeah. When he comes to this camp, you know what I'm saying? I just, like I said, moving up to the Austin.  We out here with Smoothie. Happy. Y'all linked up in Austin? Yeah, we linked up. So you made it. You talked with it? I was good. 1501 event. I met C.C.P. Man, that's my boy too. This is the first place C.C.P. ever interviewed, man. Oh yeah? Yeah, this was your second interview, wasn't it? He cool. This was your second interview? This is my third. I'm talking about when you first came on here, you had an interview before somewhere else, hadn't you? Yeah, well he did, I see. But you was nervous about this one? Yeah. But you handled it? I handled it, man. I do these things. So C.C.P., you ran into him down there as well, man.  Yeah. I promise. Yeah. They done got on here and said that you was one of the hardest artists coming out of, because of your versatility. Yeah. That you're versatile, you can do so many different things. And I think that's dope that they would even recognize you on that level. Man, I ain't never put myself in no box. I always thought whatever I can imagine what I can do. And I try to apply to it. Even if I don't know it, if I do know it, if I make a mistake, I know what to do better next time. But I always have my mind made on what I want and I go get it. I don't think about it, I don't come to play if I say, OK, this is what I want to do. And this is what I'm going to do. I put my actions to work. When I pray, I put action towards it. That's how I come true, you feel me? But everything, like when I say prayer is real, and what I imagine in my mind, I know it's real. That's my testimony to show somebody is like whatever you say, all about the thought process and your words, what you speak out, you know what I'm saying? Spell, spelling, you know what I'm saying? Don't put a spell on yourself saying negative things. Speak positive yourself, you know what I'm saying?


80 plus the 82.52 plus the 865.94. And that's the 202846. If I go back here, we could see that we have the January liability 202848. So it's a couple pennies off. So that's the general idea. So we had the payroll go up in January. We're paying it off in February. What is left in February then as a liability are the accrued of the liability for the February paychecks, which was just one because we're paying monthly in our case. So if we ran the payroll reports, then we should be able to tie in basically the liability as of the end of the period. Now, there's something I just want to note here that if you had like a third party process the payroll, you'll note that this liability, this payroll liability is just a timing difference. So in other words, if I go to my payroll taxes over here, we can see that everything's going to run through the income statement at some point. There's only a difference on the timing difference, meaning when we process the payroll, we recorded an expense of this amount, but then we withheld the taxes. Now, if you were on a cash-based system and you worked with a CPA firm to do an adjustment at the end of the period, you could simply wait until it clears the bank, use the bank feeds to record the net check instead of the full check here. And then when you paid off the payroll, as we saw here, that will also clear the bank. And when it clears the bank, you could just simply record it as again, payroll expense using the bank feeds because you have someone else, a third party, an ADP or a paycheck, for example, processing the payroll. And so then you would see it's just a timing difference. So, and then at the end of the year, possibly, you can get the payroll reports from the payroll provider and possibly have your CPA firm or tax preparer do the adjustment at the end of the year. And if they do the adjustment at the end of the year, they can then break out the wages versus the taxes, the payroll taxes versus the wages, as well as any accrual that needs to be in place, meaning withholdings in your portion of the payroll taxes for the last pay period, which has not yet been paid so that you can create the financial statements as of the cutoff date, the end of the year for taxes or possibly for external reporting as well. So in other words, if I went to the tab to the right, right click on this and duplicate this tab and we go into, let's say, our payroll reports, let's go into our reports down below, close this out and we're gonna go down all the way down to the bottom. We've got our payroll reports. Now we saw that you have the reports that you can export to Excel that we saw before. That's a nice tool. Let's just take a look at the payroll summary report here. And I'm gonna make this go from 010124 to 022924 and then apply. And so now basically we have our summary. So we've got the checks that went out, each of the checks that went out for the two pay periods that have happened. We have the employee taxes that were withheld, the net pay, the employee error taxes. So that's a pretty summarized report. Let's go back on over and open up another one.  No, what did I want? What was the one I like here? I think it's the payroll summary by employee. I'm gonna right click it on this time, open in a new tab. And so this one gives you, yeah, I think this is the one I was looking for. So this one gives you, I'm gonna close the hamburger, each individual for what they've earned up until this point in time, I believe. And let's actually run it for the whole period, 010124 to 022924 and then run it. So now we've got the pay for the two periods. Now note at the end of the year, if someone else was doing your payroll, then they might provide you with a report such as this that you can then use to kind of summarize and make sure that your financial statements tie out to this report, which should also match that the year in financial reports or tax return reports that you're gonna get to the government, the quarterly 941s, the 940, the W2 and the W3. So you can think of this as the two individuals having their gross pay totaling up to 1396666, right? If I go to my profit and loss and was to look on my wages, 1396666, that should tie out to what you give the government in terms of the 941s and the 940 and so on. And then you've got your employee taxes and deductions. So this is the employee taxes that were taken out each individual and in total. Note that that number is not on your balance sheet on your income statement over here because this tax number is just the employer portion. Those were the employee taxes that we had to take from the employees and pay on their behalf, but it's really part of their pay. There's the net paycheck. Then this is our taxes that we had to pay over and above per each employee for a total of the employer taxes 154045. So if I go to my profit and loss, we can see 154045, then we made this adjustment to it, but that's the problem with adjusting things outside of the system, right? Because this is the number that's gonna be tying out to the reporting forms that we're gonna be creating. So that's gonna be our taxes. And then you could do a similar report for basically your liability reports. So that's the general idea. So let's see where we stand right now. Here's our balance sheet. We're balancing it, balancing the sheet like a basketball on one finger. And then we've got the profit and loss, spinning it round, spinning it round like crazy. I could balance it and spin it. And then we're gonna go into the trial bounce. So if your number's tied to these numbers, great. If not, try changing the date, see if it's a date range issue. Remembering this is just simply the balance sheet on top of the income statement, starting with the assets, going from the checking account down to the machinery and equipment, basically debits. That's what the company has measured in dollars, not in units. And then who has claimed to those assets, the flip side of the coin, liabilities and equity, starting with liabilities, which start at accounts payable, credit balances, going down all the way to the unearned revenue. And then we have a claim to those assets as the owner, as we can see if we were to transfer the accounting equation to assets minus liabilities equals equity, the book value of the company. We have got the owner investment, kind of like the common stock, if it was a corporation, us putting money into the business, and the owner's equity similar to retained earnings if it was a corporation. And then the income statement, which is part of owner's equity or retained earnings, but broken out for one year's activities where we have income credits minus the expenses, debits, giving us a net credit on the income statement, which will roll into the owner's equity equivalent to the retained earnings. If a corporation, QuickBooks doing that on a yearly basis, so if we change the date, 0101.25 to 0101.25, we see that QuickBooks will close out those temporary accounts into the permanent account of owner's equity.


Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. I want to take a look at day one of Summer Stars and how it was juiced. EA did the business with this team that is in packs, basically some of the performances that they did give for these national teams that are playing in the Euros or Copa America and they actually went out and they juiced these cards. I want to talk about that. The first ever non-icon 99 rated cards in FIFA as well. It only took them until July to release 99 rated Ronaldo and Messi usually during team of the year. We get those. So definitely later this year, which does not make sense, but it is what it is. We'll talk about the Shaqiri SBC, talk about the Goosens objective and how these cards and how the market reacted to some of this stuff today. It really went down exactly how we thought it was going to happen. Now this is the Summer Stars team. So we were right with that loaded screen. It was Ray Charleston, De Bruyne, and Dumfries based off those hints that they gave us. But again, we had two 99 rated cards included today with Ronaldo and Messi. So that puts to bed any of the thoughts that Pele had a deal with EA Sports to be the only 99 rated card in this game, unless that deal had like an end date or something. I don't know. But we finally got a 99 Ronaldo and a 99 Messi, both with pretty big stat upgrades. Now I think a couple of these cards, and this is where the hype is today, is just the amount of stat boost that they put on some of these cards. Remember how we were talking about, we were hoping De Bruyne would have high 80s pace. Maybe if EA was nice, give him 90 pace. They gave him plus 11 pace from his team in the season, 94 pace for a KDB card. Now they changed this position to right forward, which is a little bit less than desired. Especially because you had the Ed and Hazard, which is no longer live, we'll talk about that. But the Ed and Hazard card is a Belgian that is a right wing, right forward, of course, too. So two cards in the same position, I think makes this KDB maybe a little bit cheaper as we go on throughout the week. But Maudridge, big time card they put in today, Locatelli in there, Spinozola as well. Also prayers to him with the Achilles injury. That was tough to watch yesterday, but what a great player he has been for Italy in this Euro competition. Calvin Phillips got the card for the English nationality playing today, trying to secure their spot in the semifinals. I think we were hoping for sterling or something along those lines, but also there could be a team too coming. So we'll talk about that, and there could be more cards coming. Laporte with the nation change, pretty hyped up card in the team. Spanish nationality, 90 pace. That card's a dub. Rich Arleson's card looks pretty good as well. He's always a FIFA fan favorite. Esok getting an upgrade above his team of the season, which is a W, of course, Dumfries. Bravo is the goalkeeper. And then Christensen with a Premier League center back. Pretty cheap card, not bad. Chelsea Lynx, so Chelsea fans are happy about that one. But overall, the juice that they did on these cards today was fantastic.  You take a look at how they boosted him up from his 92 rated full birthday. They gave him plus 10 pace, plus nine defense, plus 10 physical, and plus seven shooting. Huge boost. Now they didn't do any skill mover week foot upgrades, which I think they could have done, but they didn't. Overall, I think people are very, very happy with the team that is in packs today, and the prices aren't too terrible, right? I think if we're all being honest, a lot of this team is pretty affordable for where we think they should be at, right? Messi's new card is 2.6 million coins at the moment. So of course you have the Messi card that is expensive. You've got Ronaldo that is expensive and De Bruyne. But then other than that, those are the only cards over a million coins. I don't think De Bruyne's gonna stay over a million for long. Now I was a little bit, I guess, disappointed to see how the pack weight on these cards was lower than expected. Now the pack weight on these cards for 50K lighting grounds, we were hoping yesterday, we said that maybe it was gonna be around the 5% range. It was actually 2.5%, I think 2.5 to 2.9% was the actual pack percentage out of 50K packs, which was low, and I think we were a bit disappointed by that with these cards today. But of course they still got plenty of supply with the preview packs, and with all of the saved up packs that were out there, there were definitely opportunities to get involved with some of these items. In the first hour, if you guys were around during the content shop, Laporte's brand new item went down to 300K flat, and then exploded to 400,000 coins with the hype. And then of course later on went back down under 300K and is now back above 330,000, 340,000 coins. Messi was down to like 2.4. A lot of these prices got really cheap during the Belgium-Italy game. So kind of during that third to fourth hour after the promo started, it was just people were watching the games, they weren't getting involved with these cards, and that's kind of what happened. Now I bought myself some items as well. You can see my coin total is down. I bought three Retrolysons at 900K, and I got a lucky snipe on one at 845,000 coins. Now he was just a mill. He's very rare, this item is very, very rare. I think I'll be able to get high 900s. I got one out at 990, and I had the rest listed there, but his price has kind of been undercut since then. So that was a really nice trade. If I can execute these last two in the high 900s, that'd be a lot of coins right there. And I picked Retrolysons because he's just always rare.  Nation of course is they're playing Chile, which right now it's halftime, it is nil nil. So that's definitely something that a lot of people have their eyes on in FIFA at the moment. But a lot of these cards are just hype, right? Again, the Esau card, everybody knows how they get destroyed by the objective ESOC, team of the season card that was released during LaLiga Tots, and this guy's fantastic. I don't even wanna think about how good this 95 rated ESOC is at Striker. So that's a W. In terms of the content of cards that were in packs, just tremendous Ws. Now, talking a little bit into today on Saturday, how are these guys' prices gonna react? I think they're gonna keep going down. I honestly think they do with more lighting rounds. Almost guaranteed to come today since Saturdays bring lighting rounds as well. You're 50, 100, and 125K lighting rounds. I expect these guys to get supplied more and to drop a little bit more as well, kind of maybe getting low again during the late game today, which is England against Ukraine, the second game of the day today on Saturday, of course, if it's coming home you guys are watching and you're involved there. So definitely keep an eye on those cards, dropping a little bit into the content drop as people expect supply, but then also with preview packs and with lighting rounds, those cards are gonna get supplied a decent amount more on the market. Now, we'll talk more about today as well in just a second, but focusing back on yesterday just again, the Goosens card is our FOF nation player for Germany and he is an objective. It is not a summer stars item. It is just a nation player. So this Goosens card requires 10 separate squad battles or rivals, so not a bad grind for a card for a player that has performed very, very well. Decent card, nothing crazy. And then SBC wise was pretty much like we expected as well. We had a Jerdin Shakiri, which this card almost had a ton of hype because this game went to pens yesterday between Switzerland and Spain.  And yeah, I think there would be a lot more hype for this SBC if Switzerland would have won that because this would have been like the face player in FIFA of that country just going on a crazy run. But unfortunately they were not able to convert and instead, that was a bad voice crack, but instead we have our upgrades to our Spanish live cards. Now the upgrades, they did not do a double upgrade. Llorente has not been upgraded tonight. Neither has Morata. So I think we're expecting next Friday is when we would think that Marcus Llorente and Morata would get upgraded with the next set of upgrades, but of course, as we have seen EAB inconsistent this past week and update cards on a random Wednesday night, that is possible that could happen again this week. So Llorente is gonna go to 196 and I think Morata is gonna go to 195 plus two for the Spain lads because they got their third win as a part of the Euro 2020. So that was the content yesterday, right? I think Shaqiri is a decent SBC and his price started off pretty expensive, but as we expected yesterday with SBC fodder as well, a lot of the fodder went absolutely crazily downwards because again, all of that supply and a lot of the SBCs going away, a lot of the stuff went down. Now I think 84 isn't 85s. Those were kind of my, you know, just like base to see where the market was going. These went pretty low, man. 84s were down at like five and a half K. Now they're back up a little bit. Most of them are 6,000 coins apiece. 85s are 9K, 10K, 86s are 16 to 17,000 coins. These could go a little bit lower today depending on what the content is. Again, more supply and when we had these card prices get low in the past few weeks, usually it was like Saturday and Sunday were the lower times on the market. You see these fluctuations here, right? You see Saturdays and Sundays being the lowest point kind of in the dips before they would go up into the week.  So I would seriously today and tomorrow be looking to get involved with a club stock on fodder because I do think that they're gonna keep the content rolling this week. I expect more of those upgrade packs. I mean, shoot, they might release some sort of like summer stars guaranteed or like a summer stars or PTG or team of the season, player pick type thing. I expect those types of packs to be coming this week as well as maybe more 83 times 10, 82 plus times eight, maybe an 87 plus or like an 84 plus player pick and stuff like that. I could see all sorts of those packs coming this week too which would bring more demand to that SBC market. Now of course there's gonna be more SBC demand regardless because since these prices are a lot cheaper, let's take a look at the Ramos SBC. How much is he to do right now? Ramos is 870,000 coins which is almost spot on when we called it. I knew that this Hamas Rodriguez is gonna drop a lot too. He's now only 130K and the US nation players which was once 400K to do is now only 271,000 coins. So if you waited until the weekend like we were talking about SBC fodder dropped off a bunch and I think it's a way better time to SBCs. Now of course we should get upgrade packs that will be tomorrow most likely on Sunday. And if you really wanted to wait to craft you could wait until then. If you wanted to try to do upgrade packs, I mean I'm expecting that we get some sort of upgrade packs on the weekend and then you could even craft better with that but SBC cards are very cheap so if you wanted to go out and do an SBC by all means feel free, it's July. A lot of people were coming to me right now and said, hey, when should I buy this card? When should I do this? When should I do this SBC? Just do it man, it's July. This is the last, we're on the home stretch of the game. Just do it, have fun, buy the cards you wanna buy, use the players you wanna use. You've worked hard all year trading and playing this game to hold yourself out too much longer so that's kind of my thoughts on the situation if that's you or if you're having any of those questions in your mind. But again, we had some big time PTG movements yesterday because of Belgium losing in their game against Italy. This Eden Hazard card was down to 600,000 coins flat post game, rebounded to 700K and is now back down like the 660, 650 range but big drop off on this card, it makes sense, right? Cause he is no longer alive. Same thing with Oregon Hazard, big drop off on that card as well. You'll probably see some more drop offs today. I mean, of course you've got the Denmark Czech Republic game today. There's not as many cards on the line if you will today on Saturday with the games but of course if England were for some reason and I'm not trying to speak this into existence, if for some reason they were not able to win against Ukraine today, then you would see Foden and Chilwell of course drop off a bunch. That'd be a huge, huge upset. So of course, keep an eye out for any of those cards if and when they do potentially have a loss. Again, you know those drop offs are coming and it's all kind of risk based, right? So, but again, you probably will see this Hazard bounce back cause he has a lot of hype. Still a very, very, very good card. He's not gonna get the five star, five star or the 99 rated but still a very, very good card in this game. Now again, let's focus on Saturday today. Just a little bit. What sort of content could we be seeing today? I would just expect it to be kind of a quieter day. Of course, there's like a pro event that is going on right now on the weekend. Like the EA sports channel is live like all day. So usually when that stuff is going on too on the weekends, they keep it a little bit more low key. And I would describe yesterday on Friday as like a normal Friday slash low key Friday with just one SBC, with just one objective. Probably another player SBC of some sorts today on Saturday it'd be something that I expect. Whether it's a summer stars player, some sort of moments or a flashback, something along those lines I could expect to see today on this Saturday. And maybe, of course, you know, your usual future festival of football challenge, you know, one of those types of SBCs as well. But I wouldn't expect a lot of content today. And then Sunday is when we would maybe expect a decent amount of stuff to happen on this game and on this market. So again, what everybody's gonna be looking at is just these brand new cards, trying them out. And again, I don't think people are confused and think that these are live cards because, you know, unless this Calvin Phillips rises up a crazy amount, I really don't feel like people are gonna buy into this because they know that these cards are not live. It's not like the Spanish, or sorry, not Spanish, the, well yeah, the Spanish card, La Porte didn't have a huge crazy rise post game today, like it was a live card that people are expecting to upgrade and the Italian cards didn't have a huge drop-off like people were expecting them to upgrade and they're not going to. So I don't think people are confused about these people, no, it's just a one-time permanent upgrade on these items. So again, also from the loading screen and from the little text they're using, these cards are in packs until July 9th, which is next Friday, the 9th. And Summer Stars is officially over on the 16th. So that makes us believe there's gonna be a Team Two and of course, when they say Team One's in packs, then usually that means a Team Two is coming. So a Team Two should be in packs next Friday, which of course, a lot of people were hoping for a Neymar, you know, maybe a Lukaku to get another special card, some players, Benzema as well, that we thought could have got into this, that after we see how much they're kind of juicing up all this content for Summer Stars, we definitely could see a pretty juice to Team Number Two. So hopefully Neymar would be a part of that. Hopefully Benzema could be a part of that and some other big names depending on what players and what nationalities continue to do well over the next week of these competitions. So I think overall, people are just pretty pleased. They're very happy with the content that was released yesterday, the players in packs, R.I.W., the stat boost, R.I.W. And yeah, I think that's just kind of the aura of how people are feeling in this game right now. They're just very pleased with the content that was released and it was worth waiting for, I think you would say. So hopefully the SBC content continues this week in a very, I guess, good value manner and we would love to see that heading throughout this week. Some pack SBCs, maybe a guaranteed Summer Stars pack. That'd be very nice.  So that's the video for today, boys. If you did enjoy it, hit a thumbs up on it. And of course, if you are a fan of this promo, let me know why down in the comments and if you're new to the channel, make sure to hit that subscribe button. It's been Nate, The Photo Count. I will catch you guys later. Peace, out.


Okay, we are ready for our final session for the day. Big talk from Small Libraries 2017. I'm Christa Porter, your host for today from the Nebraska Library Commission here in still snowy Lincoln. It has been snowing all day here. I can't wait to try and get home. On the line with us today, we have right now is Jane Somerville from Stanley, Idaho. Did you have any of the storm come through where you are? I've been asking everybody about the weather today. We did not actually have snow today, but you will see from my slides that we have had more than our fair share of the storm. I do know other librarians in the state and I've seen the reports of it, yes. So Jane has a presentation for us today, Gold Nuggets, mining your community for new and exciting programs. She's got a whole bunch of great ideas here for doing partnerships in your community to just get some more interesting events happening in your library. So I'm just going to hand it over to you, Jane, to take it away and tell us all about your ideas. All right, thanks for having me. Little bit about our community. This is our fancy new library that we opened in January of 2013. Just a little aside that we did build this library on with grants and donations and did not raise taxes, so we're quite proud of that. Stanley is located in the heart of Idaho, about an hour north of Sun Valley, if that helps you with your geography. We were founded in the 1860s, Captain John Stanley, a Civil War veteran, led a party of prospectors to the Stanley Basin, and so our history is mining and our community still reflects that heritage. Our population is 63, but that's very misleading because we are a resort area and in the summer we have up to 2 million visitors pass through our community as we're in the middle of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. As you can see from the photos, we do have our fair share of snow this year. This is our library in the top right and that is a full-size door on the right side and our community center and just a nice little picture of our neighborhood. That's the kind of pictures I saw earlier this winter. We normally have a lot of snow, but this year is like a 50-year, at least, winter. Our three major highways in and out of our community have been closed several times this year, so no one could go in and no one could go out. Do you have, that you mentioned tourism, are your visitors all year round or is it just seasonal then? We do have winter activities. Snowmobiling obviously is huge and cross-country skiing. We do not have downhill skiing, but the majority of our visitors come in the summer and the fall. So partnerships are integral to excellent programming and we partner with our little two-room school – oh, I'm sorry, I keep doing that – our little two-room school. Gracious sakes. This is touchy. That's really a horrible picture up in the right-hand corner there. Restaurants, our clinic, our Chamber of Commerce, the Forest Service, Fishing Game, clinics, service clubs, the fire department – anybody we can, we'll grab them to help us with programming. But the most important partners are the people in your community. We all have people in our communities with exceptional talents. We have collectors, just people who are knowledgeable about certain areas. So those are your most important partners. A big thing that I need to say is don't try and do this alone. We did have in the past programming parties – you can see the poster for this – but the same people kept showing up. So now I don't really advertise it in the community anymore, but we have a core group that meets twice or three times a year to set up programs. And we're always on the lookout for something unique. We all keep an eye on our local newspapers, of course, the Internet, and we keep a file of ideas and I'll give you a good example of how those can come in handy later on in the presentation. Now we'll actually get into some of the programs that we do in our little tiny town at 63. One thing that you could start doing is jazzing up an existing program. For years and years, our library participated in our state, let's talk about it, program. But we pretty much read through everything they had. We did ours a little differently than most people in the state. We first called ours bowls and books, and we would have potluck. Two people would bring soup, two people would bring bread, and two people would bring dessert. The scholars were always really happy to get a home-cooked meal, but the same people ended up cooking all the time. And after we went out on our own and chose our own books, we now call it books, burgers, and brews. And we go to a different restaurant. Each month to do our book club, we do not meet in the summer because everyone here gets extremely busy in the summer, and we do not meet in December. So during our off-seasons and shoulder seasons, we're supporting our local restaurants. We just met last night. We had 12 people discussing Freakonomics, which wasn't the most popular book, but we still had 12 people, so we're pleased with that. Read and Feed, this is the only kids program I'm going to talk about. This year we only have nine kids in our K through 8 school. Read and Feed, I came across the book by Katherine Kloster, Karen Sypes, and Vicki Thomas years and years ago, and that's how I started doing my programs. I used books in this book. All the kids read the same book. They come to the library, and we eat food that's mentioned in the book and do activities related to the story. The ones that are pictured is Homer Price. The kids had a great time with this one. I could honestly talk about Read and Feed for the whole hour. If you have any questions later on or afterwards and want to email me, I'd be happy to answer about Read and Feed. It's tons of fun. The kids absolutely love this program. The book is still in print, so if you wanted to purchase that and do your programs, it's still available. Armchair Traveler Series. We've done this for a long time, but I actually got the new title for this from listening to a big talk last year or the year before. A lot of people in our community travel, and it's a little bit like come and see the slides from my vacation, but people are always interested in other parts of the world. We try and do about three a year. The ones pictured, Margaret went to Tibet. She was actually a doctor on an expedition to Mount Everest. She was a doctor in base camp, and Europe 65-16 was tons of fun. Julie is a former board member, and she and her mother reenacted the trip that Margie took. In 1965 with her best friend, that was a ton of fun. We've had kayakers, just all kinds of travel programs. Cooking, we're lucky enough to have a full kitchen in our library. If you don't, there are places available in most small towns where you could hold a cooking program. I know a lot of churches have kitchens and community centers. When we built our library, we were very adamant in wanting a full kitchen. We've done bread and pie, sea salt, caramels, another kind of, we did peanut brittle. These programs, we sometimes do have to charge a fee to cover the price of ingredients, but you get to take home either a loaf of bread to bake, or a pie to bake, or take home candy, and everyone in your community, I mean every community has cooks, good bakers. In all arrangements, we do not have a floral shop in Stanley, but one of our summer residents owned a floral shop on the other side of the hill on the Sun Valley Ketchum side of the pass, and she volunteered to bring up all the goodies we needed to make flower arrangements, and once again there was a fee for the materials, but you got to take home a beautiful flower arrangement. Laugh Lines is a fairly recent addition to our programs. This is dramatic readings of obviously comical sketches, short little plays. There is no memorization involved. You can see that the participants have their scripts in front of them. We do have auditions. The audition you show up and tell a joke, and then you get a part in the play. This is a ton of fun. The community loves this. We partner with a local restaurant. It's actually right in the same town square as the library is, and folks come in and order dinner, and then we entertain them. We get good turnouts for this, and it's a lot of fun. Author Luncheon, we partner with Redfish Lake Lodge for this. Redfish Lake Lodge is quite a famous resort on Redfish Lake. It's a beautiful, beautiful venue, and they allow us to use their restaurant at lunchtime, and there is a ticket for this event. This was originally a fundraiser, and it no longer is a fundraiser, but we still do have to charge admission because you order lunch. We're really lucky that we have some excellent local authors at the top left. It's Ridley Pearson signing for the kids. He actually did a program for the kids and for the adults. The guy in the striped shirt is Anthony Doar, who wrote All the Light We Cannot See when the poet surprised for that. He lives in Boise and was willing to travel to Stanley. Our other partner for this is Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch, which is kind of an exclusive dude ranch, and they offer the author and guest a night at the ranch, which is, I honestly don't know how much it's worth, but it's worth quite a lot. Our bottom author there is Chris Crutcher. These happen to be all Idaho authors. You're fortunate that people are willing to travel to Stanley to participate in this, and it does help to have that incentive of the night at Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch. Also if they're more than, well Boise is about three hours away, if they're more than three hours away the author, we will pay their gas money to get here. We've never purchased an airline ticket. We've never had to do that, but this is one of our signature events that always draws a good crowd. Lectures, this is a good example of tapping into your local fishing game, forest service, your state parks, or just someone in your community who is an expert in some field. Obviously, not everyone's going to have a Wolverine study in their backyard, but we did and we had a packed house for three different biologists, came in and talked about this ongoing Wolverine study that started in the early 90s and continues to this day. We had a local expert on Bay Horse Mining Community, which is downriver about 60 miles and then up to the top of the mountain, I'm not sure how far that is, but it's not one of the more well-known historical sites in our neighborhood, and he actually got a grant from the Idaho Humanities Council to study and compile history on this area, and he actually came to us and said, I have to give a program, can I do it at your library? Once you start doing innovative programming like this, programs do seem to fall from the sky, like this guy from the Humanities Council needed a venue to give his lecture. Also, Orville Hansen is a former U.S. Senator, and he's given several lectures. The one I'm showing here is ratification debate in the states and the making of a nation, which doesn't sound really thrilling, but once again we had a packed house for that. Just local people who are experts, we have a guy that likes to do lectures. He just comes up with these ideas. I'd like to talk about DNA and genetics next week or in two weeks and people show up. These are a great place to tap into. Everyone who collects is so proud of their collections, and some of them can be really eclectic. One of our local town councilmen collects Navajo rugs, and he had never done a presentation before, and we approached him and he said, well, I'll do it, but I don't think I have very much to say. He brought in all his books and he brought in a huge collection of rugs. This is in our old library and we had rugs upstairs and downstairs, and once Lem got going about his rugs and his passion for collecting them, he totally lost his nervousness and really got into it. Our program ended up being twice as long as we thought it would be. Like that gal who did the lightning round program on checking out the books as presents, one of our most well-attended programs is our annual Christmas reading. We do call it a Christmas reading. Lois Stanley is mostly either Christian or agnostic or non-religious, I guess you would say, and for this venue we partner with Beckwith's Lodge in Lois Stanley, which is a huge log lodge that is rented out. As soon as January 1st rolls around, we call up and we try and do this the first weekend in December so that it's like a kickoff for the holiday season. We have people bring hors d'oeuvres and Christmas spirits. We do have wine and beer there. Some years we read one book, a smaller book, some of our favorites, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is a huge hit, The House Without a Christmas Tree. We did Skipping Christmas by John Grisham. We did have to edit that one down a little bit. We have read the illustrated classic version of A Christmas Carol because it was a little bit shorter. We try to keep the reading to about an hour. We gather at around six o'clock and we just mingle until about seven and eat and drink and then we do our stories. When we do an entire book, each person reads a chapter and then other years volunteers just choose a short reading poem, a short short story, something generally less than five minutes. It's by far one of our better attended programs. For all ages, although in Stanley we don't have a lot of kids, so it generally ends up being mostly adults. Adult coloring and Zentangles. If you're not doing adult coloring, I don't know why, it's the cheapest, easiest program and it's just so much fun and so relaxing. This could also be a passive program and the cost of course is minimal. This year we have added Zentangling, excuse me. We have a young gal in our community who is quite a fantastic artist and she's been showing us the art of Zentangling. She's not a certified Zentangle teacher, but we do have this book available for checkout as well. Talk to our music. During the summer season in Stanley, there is live music at one venue every day of the week, but it's usually, it's bluegrass country. The late night shows are rock and roll. We actually have a music festival one weekend. We try and get alternative music, something that they're not going to hear on a regular, at one of these other regular venues. The top left is two members of the San Diego Chamber Music Society. They have family in Stanley, so they come up, they bring their French horn and their marimba and this was one of those programs too that dropped out of the sky. They're like, oh the New Town Square, could we bring our instruments and play music there? And we're like, well of course. After they started doing this, one of the gals from the Wood River Orchestra, which is the Wood River is on the other side of Galena Pass in the Haley Ketchum Bellevue Sun Valley area, that's the Wood River Valley. She's like, well I can't get the whole orchestra, but I could get some of us to come up and play, so they're the ones in the lower right corner. Fortunately, we do have a venue in the library large enough that if weather did not cooperate they could. The orchestra might be a little crowded, but we do have a backup for that. None of these, I think we pay $250 for the Chamber Music and the Wood River Orchestra didn't charge us anything. Even your high school band could be a part of this and I know that almost every community has their local musicians that might be willing to play at your library, indoors or out. Therapy dogs, unfortunately the woman who did our therapy dog program is only a summer resident, so we don't have a therapy dog in the school, but Wendy did this program with her dog, Powder, and explained to us how to become a therapy dog, all the steps that they need to take, and Powder did come to the library for that. If she lived here a year round we would definitely have our kids reading to the therapy dogs. This is the second year we did home brewing. My assistant actually that helps me at the library on weekends has been home brewing for years and we did this program last year. We had eight participants last year and we did it again this year and we only had two as you can see, but we still considered this a huge success because these two young men are not library users, so whenever we can get someone into our library that normally doesn't use the library we consider that a win. The best part about the home brewing program is they actually do brew beer and then in six months or whenever I'm not even sure how long it takes they get together and sample their brew. All right, campfire stories for grown-ups. We do this in the town square, if you remember that first photo of the library and the partnership, we're in this town square with the Gerheim Gallery and this loose restaurant and a yoga studio and a mountain climbing guide shop, but in the square we bring in a portable fire pit and this one we try to keep just for grown-ups so that you know you can bring wine and beer and we tell stories around the campfire. We actually were rained out this year so we didn't have a chance to do that so I don't have a great picture of that, but we had such a blast with this. We left so hard and I wish I had the pictures from our inaugural event because everyone, everyone is just cracking up, but unfortunately they were on an old digital camera that they were on the camera's memory and the cord for that camera is long gone so basket-making or really you could do any handcraft, knitting, crochet, quilting, we just happen to have in our neighborhood a woman who makes willow baskets. This also is, people come back to do this each time we have had the program, we have had return participants just to help improve their craft or just because they enjoyed it so much. This one makes a mess, this in the floral arranging. You'll be finding bits for days, sometimes weeks. There's more pine needles. We're also very fortunate that we have a retired professor from College of Idaho who is a writing teacher and also a published author and he volunteers his time every winter. We've had essay writing, science writing, a memoir and current events writing. John volunteers his time. He does ask that participants make a donation to the library so the only thing we're really out there is just the time in our meeting room which is nothing. I realize that not every community has a retired writing professor and published author but there's probably a retired English teacher and honestly I don't think you would really need a teacher or a writing professional to do these. There are all kinds of prompts that you could meet at your library like once a month and just write from a prompt or share what you've written from a prompt. Photography, everyone in your every community has somebody who is an expert in digital photography, maybe printed photography. You saw in the town square we have the Gerheim gallery. Well this is Mr. Thad Gerheim who does large format photography which is quite a different process than 35 millimeter or digital and he has given us excellent demonstrations on how the camera works and he and his partner hike into the wilderness and so he actually brought in his their backpacks and showed us how they packed everything to get to where they could take these photographs. So and people these days are very interested in photography and even if you have a digital or especially if you have a digital professional you will you'll get people there. Deepsea Illustrator now this one I know very few people are going to have a Deepsea Illustrator in their community but this isn't a good example that I have of cutting out articles from from newspapers that seem interesting. This was in the Wood River paper and one of the people on the the programming committee said this is just so amazing let's let's call her and ask her and she she actually does live in the Wood River Valley when she's not out at sea in a submersible drawing Deepsea creatures but every community does have some person who's done something really unique. Make a Valentine this is such a simple program Karen in the upper left hand corner is is an artist by trade mostly she works with stained glass and oil painting but she said sure I'll I'll do a class I'm making a Valentine and we made really fancy Valentine's that year but this has now evolved into a passive program and so every year about a week before Valentine's Day we just get out all the materials and leave them in the community room and people can come and go and as they please to make their Valentine's and I have a couple of gentlemen that they rely on this for you have to do Valentine's and it's such a simple and low-cost program. Wildflower and birding walks these are fairly new for our library we like I said we are pretty fortunate that we live in an amazing natural area with plentiful wildflowers and and birds but this could also be local garden tours also related master gardeners are required to hold to do some kind of teaching experience to maintain their their status as a master gardener so you could I'm sorry I'm getting a little tired today you could you could make this program fit to your community there are often in every community someone with a fabulous vegetable and or flower garden and that these and there's also someone who knows a lot about birds I can guarantee you that this was a new program for us this fall apple tasting I actually missed this one because I was at the air a cell conference in Fargo it was a great fall program I just heard of a fabulous program at a library in North Liberty Iowa where their local brewery came in and did beer and food pairings so I know that some libraries frown on alcohol in the building possibly you could hold that kind of a program at a maybe at a local pub or even in someone's home this one if we ever did this one again I would not limit it to women I would just have basic car maintenance for anyone but I have these two guys one who actually had just joined my board offered to do this program and that's what they came up with so yeah I said sure you guys can do this and it was it was very successful they they learned really basic things like how to check your tire pressure how to fill your windshield wiper reservoir how to check your oil it's been a while since we did this I don't think they actually did do an oil change but and this one was held at the firehouse they emptied and we do have a volunteer fire department and they emptied two of the bays and brought in their personal cars and did some car maintenance one thing that we're really looking forward to this year is programming for the eclipse it's pretty exciting experience and we do happen to be like right there on the total on the path of totality so fortunately there are many astronomers coming to our our town for this event and have graciously agreed to partner with us for a lecture on eclipses and we have an astronomer coming to show people how to use a telescope and then we'll also do a program on safe viewing and probably have actually a library event the day of this eclipse and many of your libraries will be on this path to totality and even if you're not I'm sure there will be many live streaming events going on NASA and star net libraries star net libraries are offering all kinds of webinars and offers for free viewing glasses so check out star net libraries and see what they have to offer you I've lost my cursor here we go and one thing that I highly recommend doing anyone who presents for a program at your library please send them a handwritten thank you note it's a small thing to do but it's also a very big thing to do people are very appreciative to get an actual handwritten note I make ours note every note cards and so they're they're inexpensive and when you do that you'll find that people are willing to come back and do a program again this is my little handout that I usually give when I do this in in person this will be of course archived and recorded if you would like me to email one I would be happy to do that as well and here's my email address and fireworks to end this program with a bang thanks everybody for attending you know it's been a long day so yes thank you for those fireworks great thank you very much Jane those were some great ideas I like the fact that a lot of them are things specific to people that is specific to people you have in your community or that you know about and I think the general idea is just look to your community see who's out there doing something interesting you know somebody a board member knows somebody a volunteer knows somebody or is somebody who has just got some interesting some special interest or something they know about and that that can be a presentation there's there's the ideas you know are endless it's true in every community has those unique individuals and with usually very little it doesn't take them it doesn't take much to talk them into sharing their expertise and particularly impressed he said you have live music somewhere in town every day during the summer oh yes it is actually yeah but it's a big draw and when you have a lot of people coming to your community you need to keep them entertained all right we do have a couple of questions that have come in if anybody does have any questions please do type them into the questions section of your go-to-webinar interface the campfire stories for adults that you had does the question is does anybody who's there just tell stories or do you have people and stories lined up ahead of time usually I try to make sure that we have some people showing up that have a story to share I think it's best that you have at least a few but generally everyone who shows up has some kind of anecdote that they will end up sharing okay someone how about these sessions that you hold held elsewhere mm-hmm not at the library are those then promoted as sponsored by the library how do you connect that back to being something a library program yes they are all Stanley community library presents okay yeah yeah so the car maintenance at the firehouse that people would understand well this is this was happened because of the library yeah I think on the poster there yeah it shows oh yep there's your logo down the bottom yeah yeah we try and put the logo on on every poster and we also do an article in our local paper our county paper that is actually the other question I had was how do you publicize all of these different events okay well and Stanley it's a lot of times word of mouth we do we we place posters at the library the post office the clinic we have two small little grocery stores we post there year-round and during the summer there's a lot of other shops and restaurants open and whoever will put our flyer up we will put it up there we do have a Facebook page and we also have a local events email list that we send reminders of programs coming up okay so a lot of the traditional ones but then look for things like that that are specific to your area that you have all right that was last question we had anybody have any last minute questions I just really want to ask of Jane right now if you don't there is her email address there you can ask her for tips about any of the events that they've done at their library and if anyone has a really great program that they've done that they would like to share with me I would I would love to hear it yes definitely always everyone is looking for for new ideas I'm sure I mean you did a whole presentation on them but that yeah anything else new I'm sure you're looking for other ones to do well we had at our book discussion last night actually we had a young mother telling about her her eight-year-old son who is totally into these junior ranger programs and he and his family have been traveling to national parks and monuments for him to complete all of these programs and we're gonna ask Grady eight-year-old Grady if he would give a presentation about his trips to fulfill his junior ranger badge great turn out for it for that yeah does he know how brave he is to do that we do have one last question we'll ask of you oh here oh someone given it has an idea for one you're asking for ideas great slow cooking in the fast lane is the program they do people make a crock pot dish and bring it and then there and the written recipe to share and then the library then they make photocopies of all the recipes for people to take home and then it's like a potluck event dinner but then everybody shares their recipes as well oh that's a great idea that's a good one food is always a good a good attraction oh it yeah yep I like to show you the recipes so many times I've been to events or that we have here parties and you always say you know though that's a great one I wish I could have that recipe and having a nice organized thing to do that and share the actual recipe afterwards that's a good idea all right we have one last question I'll throw out there that someone did ask what do you like best about your your small library your small rural library oh man I would have to say look at well I would have to say that I really know my patrons I love doing readers advisory even more than I love programming and getting it I I pretty much know everyone in town and I'm also very lucky that during the summer I get to meet so many interesting people passing through it's a pretty unique situation okay well thank you very much I think it's a perfect wrap up for today well thank you for asking me yeah thank you so much for your ideas and that is our final session for big talk from small libraries 2017
