Perfect WeddingReviewed on 4/30/2014 c k
We had our wedding here last weekend and I cannot imagine a more perfect place to have held it. The food was incredible, the venue was beautiful and the staff was amazing. They were so accommodating and helpful all through the process. Kimberly Ann, the events coordinator,... Read More made helpful suggestions and gave so much attention to detail. And Gus, our Maitre'd, made sure that everything went exactly according to plan! When we went for our tasting, to select the final menu, it was both romantic and delicious...and the food was just as good at the reception! The wines they selected were a perfect accompaniment. If you're getting married in Westchester County, NY, this is the place to go! I will definitely use them again, next time I have a party to cater!
Fantastic Venue and ServiceReviewed on 3/01/2014 Anny V
Planning a wedding is supposed to be stressful right? However working with Kimberly and Gustavo made planning my wedding a complete breeze!. They were available whenever I needed them, giving me suggestions and just making the whole process simple and fun. Kimberly was always... Read More available to answer any question even if I had already asked it before! When the day finally came everything went smoothly, they were present without being intrusive. On our special day we were able to enjoy our time with our family and friends and not have to worry about anything because Kimberly and Gustavo had already taken care of it. The food was fantastic all our guests enjoyed everything from the cocktail hour to dessert. We had an outdoor wedding in October. The setting was beautiful. Both my husband and I highly recommend this venue for any and every special occasion!

From our first visit to the Kittle House, we were so happy with the service we received. Everyone worked so hard to make the day perfect. Kimberly Ann and Gustavo were both so sweet.

My husband and I were married at the Kittle House on November 7, 2015, and couldn't be happier about our decision. We booked the day we saw the place for the first time, and it was the only venue we checked out. We were trying to avoid a "wedding factory" kind of feel, and the... Read More Kittle House delivered. The setting is tranquil and classy with a slight rustic feel. Tiffany was our planner, and she was with us every step of the way, day and night. She had creative ideas, which our guests loved, but also listened to our requests, and delivered on everything we wanted from spiked hot cider for our guests during the ceremony, to grilled cheese and tomato soup shooters at the cocktail hour! The maitre d', Michael, was the most accommodating person I have ever worked with. Our ceremony was supposed to be inside since it was November; but, the weather was so unseasonably warm, that Michael worked to move it outside, which is exactly what we had hoped for. Everything went according to plan without a hiccup. It actually went better than expected because we were able to have our dog walk down the aisle. The inn is pet friendly! Oh...and it's a inn, so we were able to stay the night before, get ready there, and have pictures taken without having to worry about limousines and traveling from one location to another. I can't leave out Leo, the sommelier, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and everyone was taken care of. Book this place. Do it! You won't regret it.
Amazing evening! We enjoyed our daughter's wedding so much, we would do it again! Tiffany was a calm and reassuring presence during all of the planning stages.
Tiffany, Chef Jay, Michael and the rest of the team at Kittle House made our wedding a huge success! Everything ran smoothly and there were no surprises on the day of.

Perfect place for a perfect weddingReviewed on 7/28/2015 Stefanie T
I cannot even begin to say enough about Kittle House and the staff there. This is a truly magical place to have a wedding. From the atmosphere to the food, drinks and event coordinators our wedding was absolutely perfect. Barbara and the rest of the staff not only answered every... Read More single one of my 400 questions quickly, but they also gave wonderful suggestions, were accommodating at every turn and really made us feel like family through the entire planning process and during the weekend of our wedding. The gardens outside create the backdrop for a stunning ceremony and the atrium room is gorgeous lit up at night! Plus, being able to take photos in the wine cellar are amazing! And Sunday brunch is incredible for the morning after a wedding!!!!! Every single bride and groom deserve an experience like the one Kittle House is able to provide.
A Perfect Wedding DayReviewed on 6/26/2015 Lauren N
After viewing many wedding venues in Westchester County, we decided to look at Crabtree's Kittle House - and we are so glad we did! Tiffany (our eventual event planner) was very prompt in responding to my initial inquiry and was so kind over the phone. When we first arrived,... Read More Tiffany had booklets of past weddings for us to view, she took time to answer all of our questions and give us a tour of the site. The main atrium room with the adjacent garden was so intimate and was one of the main reasons we fell in love with this venue. We waited less than 2 weeks to sign a contract. Throughout the entire process, Tiffany was available via phone and email anytime. She always responded promptly and would answer numerous questions graciously. She constantly had additional suggestions, but never pushed me to change what my vision was. She was always polite, kind, professional and trustworthy. She thought of everything we needed and executed it perfectly. I wasn't nervous about the reception because I knew things were going to be perfect because Tiffany was at the helm. Our wedding was a success because of Tiffany, I have no idea what I would have done without having her every step of the way. The food was incredible and our guests could not stop talking about the variety and quantity of food available throughout our reception. The entire staff was polite and accommodating with whatever we needed for any guests (allergies, gluten free, etc). The staff was efficient and prompt through the entire evening but were never obtrusive. I remember saying to my husband "I wish we could get married here everyday" because of how perfect everything was during the reception. There was not a single thing I would change about the day. Having our wedding at Crabtree's Kittle House was the best decision we made and would recommend them to anyone having a wedding in the area. Thank you Tiffany and the rest of Crabtree's Kittle House staff for our perfect wedding day.
A gorgeous setting for a wedding!Reviewed on 6/24/2015 Kallie V
I cannot say enough positive things about the Kittle House. I discovered the Kittle House about a year and a half before my wedding date, and knew from the second I walked in that I wanted to get married there. The venue is charming, historic, unique, and beautiful. Also, the... Read More food is amazing. We had dinner at their restaurant multiple times to taste test the food before our wedding. Working with Kimberly while planning the wedding was such a breeze - she responded to every single email I sent her (even when I was starting to get a little crazy and was sending 10 a day!), she always had great suggestions, always was willing to help, and always made me feel calm during all of that planning stress. The night of the reception went so smoothly - I cannot think of a single thing that went wrong. That was all due to Kimberly and the Maitre'd Leo. They were both phenomenal! We received so much positive feedback from guests about how they were blown away by the venue, food, and the service. My husband and I highly recommend the Kittle House!
Everything about the KittleHouse is perfection! The ambiance, food, customer service, attention to detail etc. Kimberly the event coordinator made everything so much less anxiety inducing. She is a pro and really takes the time to make sure your day is extra special! I could not... Read More recommend it more!
My husband and I are so glad we had our wedding at the Kittle House. It's a beautiful location (it photographs really well), the food is delicious and the staff is incredible. Kimberly Ann, the event coordinator, was so helpful throughout the entire planning process by offering... Read More guidance and suggestions, answering all of our questions, and being accommodating to all of our ideas and requests.

On the day of, Kimberly and our Maitre'D, Leo, were there making sure everything ran smoothly and all of our guests had a wonderful time. We would definitely recommend the Kittle House for your wedding or event.
Surpassed all expectations!Reviewed on 11/08/2014
I did not grow up dreaming of my wedding. I didn't have a clear vision in mind. Even after my now husband and I got engaged in August 2013, I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted my wedding to be. But we started to look around and quickly determined that we didn't want a cookie... Read More cutter wedding experience at a catering hall. We were looking for a warm and intimate space outside of Manhattan but still convenient for our city-based guests. We wanted a unique feel with a mix of class and country, where it would feel like "us" without being overdone. I don't like to use the word "perfect" because it's not a goal buzz word for what I strive for in my own life. But I know my husband and I would say and have said that we had a perfect wedding at Crabtree's Kittle House. We were blessed with a gorgeous and brisk fall Sunday in October for our afternoon affair. Kimberly had partnered closely, patiently, and delightfully with us since the winter, answering all our questions and tending to all our needs. On the day of the wedding the entire Kittle House staff - including Kimberly and Gustavo - ensured that we wanted for nothing. We were happy and worry-free guests at our own wedding. When I think of us standing under the chuppah together in that serene garden surrounded by our loved ones I want to relive the day again and again. It was the most incredible experience which surpassed our expectations. It was even more special that we spent two nights at the inn right after the wedding so we could hold onto the wedding energy for days after. Plus we already booked a weekend at the inn for our one year anniversary. We look forward to years ahead of joyous memories shared at the Kittle House. Getting married at the Kittle House was the wedding I never knew I wanted and now cannot imagine not having had. Kimberly, thank you again and again.
Kittle House is a great place for a weddingReviewed on 10/30/2014
I got married here almost two months ago and could not of been happier with my wedding. The staff at the Kittle House is top notch and takes care of every detail imaginable. Kimberly Ann and Gustavo are great at what they do and will make you feel at ease that everything is... Read More always under control .They work very hard and are obviously pros. The scenery outside is also great for a wedding and the food is very good as well. I couldn't recommend it more. Thanks for all you do!
My Dream Wedding Came TrueReviewed on 10/23/2014 Michelle A
My wedding on September 5th at the Kittle House was a dream come true it was lovely, elegant and beautiful thanks in large part to the efforts of Kimberly, Gustavo, and her entire staff. Everything went smoothly and perfectly and I can not think of anything that I wish had gone... Read More differently. When it came time to leave, I was very impressed with the way Kimberly had organized and packaged everything for us, not to mention all the work they put in to setting up for the wedding, they ROCK!!! The food was delicious, the setting just lovely and the atmosphere warm and friendly. Just perfect for a wonderful wedding experience.
Exceptional Staff and ServiceReviewed on 10/22/2014
I simply cannot say enough to praise the staff for their exceptional attention to detail and their indefatigable spirit! The experience we had at Crabtree's Kittle House for our son's wedding was flawless. Kimberly and Gustavo were not only creative and helpful with... Read More suggestions, but their performance level on the wedding day was beyond compare. Their professional expertise was evident in all aspects of the wedding weekend. The food and wine selections received so many compliments from the guests; we had anticipated as much because we had been impressed with the many exquisite options we had tasted at the "tasting" arranged a month or two before the wedding. Kimberly's grace and generosity of spirit made the wedding one of pure pleasure and relaxation for us! We highly recommend this venue and the staff for any event, be it business or family.
Crabtree Kittle House wedding wow!Reviewed on 10/22/2014
September 20, 2014. A perfect wedding! Our son and his beautiful bride were married at the Crabtree's Kittle House and then the party began! Everything from start to finish was perfect. From organization to attention to every detail. From the amazing grounds to the wonderful... Read More ballroom to the food and wine(that we are still getting such fabulous compliments on). Kimberly Ann and Gustavo are the most dedicated professionals who work seamlessly with their team. Everyone works tirelessly to ensure a beautiful and flawless celebration. Can't say enough about Kimberly. She goes so far beyond her title of wedding coordinator. She's always available and organized. She speaks softly and soothingly and is quick with a smile. Yet no detail escapes her. She truly loves what she does and this is demonstrated in all that she does. Gustavo is a maitre d' extraordinaire - always present and in charge. Always on top and ahead of any situation which may need his attention. He was truly hiding in plain sight -a master of multi tasking. Gustavo is another individual at the top of his game and loving what he does. The grounds are fantastic and the food was incredibly delicious. Our friends and family can't stop talking about it. Not only was it tasty but also paired remarkably with the perfect wines. The food was plentiful and the desserts were the perfect sweet ending to a fairy tale event! Thank you to everyone at Crabtree 's Kittle House!!!
Exceptional venue with stellar staffReviewed on 10/21/2014
Crabtree's Kittle House proved to be the perfect venue for our wedding, and we recommend it to other couples wholeheartedly! The setting itself is beautiful, replete with historical charm and stunning vistas. The thoughtfulness of the owners/management is evident at every turn,... Read More from the tasteful decor to the carefully curated menus. What truly sets it apart -- if we were forced to pick just one thing -- was the superlative level of service.

Wonderfully professional, responsive, accommodating, warm, and ever ready to suggest superb ideas, the Crabtree team exemplifies hospitality at its highest level. Every guest made it a point to praise the food, the gracious staff, and the seamless way with which the event was handled. The Kittle House has a special place in our hearts after hosting a perfect wedding, and we hope to celebrate many anniversaries there!
A Perfect WeddingReviewed on 10/21/2014
The Kittle House is the perfect venue for a garden wedding! We were thrilled with every aspect of the event & the attentive staff was most accommodating to every detail. The food & wine were exceptional - & we were very pleased to see that local purveyors were used whenever... Read More possible. Kimberly & the staff were very helpful in guiding us whenever they could in the planning process - which gave the event a very personalized feel (as opposed to the "cookie cutter" feel we've experienced at many wedding receptions). It was a beautiful & memorable event - & I highly recommend the Kittle House for weddings or any event you would need to plan!

Everything about the wedding was perfect. Kimberly and Gustavo anticipated and filled every need. During the planning process they were always available and patient.

Everyone said it was the best wedding they had ever attended. The ceremony was outside in a beautiful spot with a great view. The reception was inside and spilled outside as well. The venue is very special and unique. You won't see other brides around like you do at some places. It's a private experience. Oh, and we stayed at the inn that night. Also highly recommended.

September 20, 2014 - A perfect wedding! Our son and his beautiful bride were married at Crabtree's Kittle House.

Kimberly Ann and Gustavo are the most dedicated professionals who work seamlessly with their team. Everyone's tireless efforts ensured a beautiful and celebration. Kimberly - cant say enough. She goes so far beyond her title of wedding coordinator. She was always available and able to listen, suggest, and organize. She spoke softly and soothingly, was quick with a smile, calmed nerves and no detail escaped her. It is easy to see that Kimberly loves what she does. She works very hard and makes it all seem effortless. Kimberly's presence doesn't end with the night of the wedding. She helped pack up and store items and still keeps in touch. Gustavo is a maitre d' extraordinaire. He was always present and in charge. There was norequest that he couldn't handle.

Dream wedding at the Kittle House!Reviewed on 10/18/2014 Jessica F
My husband and I were married at the Crabtree Kittlehouse in August of 2014. When we first drove up the winding driveway and saw the Kittlehouse for the first time we fell a little bit in love with it. Once we started seeing the gardens and outdoor areas we had an idea that this... Read More would be the place for us. Our number one concern was food for our guests. We hated the idea of a factory wedding in a large catering hall with mediocre food. We wanted good food and we wanted to know every single person that came and sat down to celebrate with us. And Kittle House made that happen. There food was so good and they were very accommodating. We needed to have some gluten free and vegetarian options and there was no problem. They even created a gelato bar for us and even set up their fire pit so we could do our s'mores favors. Kimberly Ann is the wedding coordinator and she was with us every step of the way. She answered every email we ever sent (and there were HUNDREDS over a 2 year period) and she would even send us little ideas here and there that she thought we would like. Gustavo is the maitre d' and he was there to help us during the night of the wedding. Separate, these two are amazing but together they are a powerhouse team. They know exactly what they are doing and they make it so that on your wedding day you don't have to worry about anything. Even hours before our wedding, it started pouring and of course I was worried. I had my heart set on an outdoor wedding so Gustavo waited until 15 minutes before the wedding to move everything inside. And the ceremony turned out amazing anyway. With the rain coming down the side of the glass windows, it looked magical. And the rain cleared up in time to have guests wander outside and have our fire pit. My husband and I could not be happier that we had our wedding at the kittle house. They really are a wonderful place that makes each event special. The whole place is a dream and we are so happy that we went with our gut and had our wedding there. Thank you Kimberly Ann and Gustavo! AKA the dream team!
Great Wedding VenueReviewed on 10/17/2014
Crabtree's Kittle House was an excellent choice for our daughter's wedding. The facility is beautiful. The food, wonderful. Kimberly Ann graciously helped guide us through all the arrangements and the event went flawlessly. She was a pleasure to work with and made us feel... Read More like family. John Crabtree went above and beyond to make certain we were all happy. Gustavo was on top of everything that day, orchestrating a wonderful day for all of us. Everyone enjoyed themselves. I would certainly recommend the Crabtree's Kittle House to anyone looking for terrific venue for their wedding day in the Hudson Valley.
Spectacular Experience!Reviewed on 10/17/2014 Michelle B
Our experience at the Kittle House was absolutely wonderful! On top of being an undeniably unique and beautiful location, the food was delicious, and the overall experience we had working with Kimberly was just fantastic. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and enthusiastic from... Read More day one, and made what can be a very stressful process feel calm and relaxed. On the day of the wedding, she even sat on the floor with my mother to figure out the ridiculously complex bustle of my dress!! People always say you can't have a perfect wedding... In our case they were wrong! This is so much because of the amazing Kittle House staff. The night of the wedding, in addition to having Kimberly on deck, we also had the unbelievably diligent maitre d', Gustavo. If you want a truly special venue where you know you'll be 100% taken care of, the Kittle House is your best option by far.
Wonderful Experience at Kittle HouseReviewed on 10/17/2014 Anya M
We had a gorgeous wedding at the Kittle House over labor day weekend. Kimberly, the events manager, was truly the kindest, most thoughtful, most helpful hostess we could ever imagine. She suggested excellent local vendors, and set up several private tastings for us to experience... Read More the incredibly delicate, delicious menu. The food at our wedding was spectacular, the outdoor garden couldn't have been more beautiful for our ceremony, and the glass-enclosed reception hall was a magical place to dance the night away. We were extremely happy that we chose this venue--THANK YOU KITTLE HOUSE!!!

V.I.N.CENT., Type 2
V.I.N.CENT., the little robot hero from Disney's 1979 science fantasy film, The Black Hole, voiced by the brilliant Roddy McDowall is another robot influence from my youth. I thought I would sit down today and just doodle my own version of him. I didn't mean for it to turn into a full render, but sometimes you just can't stop your brian from issuing slave-drone commands to your hands. It's true. I read it in Brave New World.
So, above is my version of the classic character design created by Imagineer George McGinnis. My version of course is not as elegant as Mr. McGinnis', but then he is amazing:
I've heard people argue that V.I.N.CENT., who's name means "Vital Information Necessary CENTralized," is a terrible design, but I'm convinced that their hatred is centered entirely around the cartoonish eyes. People, especially guys, who like to pretend they're tough, often flail and foam when the are confronted by the cute. But I've seen my wife make a Marine cry just by mentioning the Pokémon Squirtle, so I take no stock in aggressive posturing. Everyone's a softie deep down, and I know that if given the choice, people would rather spend time in the company of a non threatening robot than say, the Terminator. So let me state without hesitation that V.I.N.CENT. is an excellent design. His silhouette is well established, the focus on round over angular shapes is attractive, the ball-like anti-htavity pods for legs is a brilliant use of the overall utilitarian scheme, and while the eyes maybe too much for some people, I won't be convinced they aren't anything but splendid. With that said, my take on the classic design pulls the eyes into a holographic monitor for the sake of greater expressiveness (something that couldn't have been accomplished in 1979 — although, according to an interview with George McGinnis in the Cinefantastique Double Issue Vol9 No 3/Vol9 No 4, published in 1980, the 1979 version of V.I.N.CENT.'s eyes were originally supposed to be constructed from Ferranti-Packard disks, but complications on the set prevented the crew from using them). I imagine these digital eyes changing with with his emotional state, much like they Ferranti-Packard disks were supposed to, and this way they can remain cartoonish and friendly, but more expressive when the need arises.

The hidden eyes of the forest
Just five days after the camera trap installed at the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve captured the first photograph of a snow leopard, the forest officers in this eco-sensitive alpine zone in Uttarakhand were in for more surprise. One of the cameras set up in the Valley of Flowers, within the Reserve, threw up pictures of poachers. "Five Nepali poachers were arrested on April 15, a day after a camera trap clicked their picture, " says BK Gangte, director of Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve.
The surprises haven't stopped. "The other day, a Tibetan wolf was caught on camera. Though there has been speculation about this predator inhabiting these mountains, we had never sighted it here, " says SR Prajapati, the district forest officer of Nanda Devi National Park. Fifteen cameras have been in use in the Reserve since last November. The initial results weren't encouraging. But after the Reserve's staff was trained by experts from Wildlife Institute of India on how to choose the right spots, these devices are turning out be invaluable source of information.
Many rare species have since shown up on camera: Red fox, musk deer, blue sheep (bharal) and tahr, to name a few. These records will eventually improve the population estimates of these species, which in the past have been pretty inaccurate.

Kwame Brown: Hit John Ensign Where It Hurts
Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) clearly has little respect for home rule and the unique local situation of the District of Columbia—that would be why he chose to gut D.C.'s gun laws through a amendment to the D.C. House Voting Rights Act. So why should Congress respect his home state's unique local institutions?
Like legalized prostitution.
That would be the thinking of At-Large Councilmember Kwame Brown, who has penned a letter asking Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton and House majority leader Steny Hoyer to introduce something called the "Roses" amendment.
"The 'Roses Amendment,'" Brown writes, "would revise the Mann Act by prohibiting US citizens from crossing state borders to solicit sex in states where prostitution is legal. The amendment would further prohibit these states from using the Internet as a portal to advertise or solicit prostitution. Furthermore, the amendment would make it illegal to complete financial transactions where electronic data or information is shared with any entity located outside of the state for which prostitution is legalized."
Talk about hitting him where it hurts.
Brown explains his reasoning thusly: "If elected officials from states, namely Nevada, can introduce legislation that alters the local laws of the District, I believe the District should offer an amendment that imposes our moral values on such states where prostitution is legal."
As for the name of the bill? "I believe we should fight guns with roses," he writes.
Wow. Wonder what Axl would do?

Generals visit their Forces
October 20, 2011
By Sgt. Charlie Helmholt, 139th MPAD, ILARNG
KITA-FUJI TRAINING AREA, JAPAN --Soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, 141st Infantry Regiment and the 1st Division, Eastern Army, Ground Self-Defense Force continued their bilateral training during Orient Shield 11, as a special visit by two commanders joined the exercise in order to get a better understanding of what was being conducted at Kita-Fuji, in Lake Yamanaka Village, in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, Oct. 18.
General Eiji Kimizuka, the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force Chief of Staff at the ground staff office in Ichigaya, Tokyo, Japan joined Maj. Gen. Michael T. Harrison, Sr., a Surry, Va., native, and the commander of the United States Army Japan, I Corpse (Forward), out of Camp Zama, Zama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, joined in watching a slideshow of what the two forces have conducted during Orient Shield and then went to multiple tents in to visit with the commanders of the forces.
"As commander of the United States Army Japan I corps (forward), it is important to come out with my staff to observe training being conducted by any Soldier from the U.S. Army as well as the work that we are doing with the Japanese ground self defense force, said Harrison.
Harrison said any opportunity the Soldiers can train with the members of an allied nation enhances the two forces capabilities to work together and prepare them to respond to the contingencies that they are required to respond to.
The training has to be successful because any mission that happens in this particular area will have help from an allied nation, he said.
"In this particular instance, the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force is our partners," said Harrison. "The more training we conduct together the better we will be to achieve the objectives given to us by our respected nations."
Prior to the arrival of the two forces neither of them had met and they have now forged a strong bond that has led to friendship, he said. The Soldiers and the JGSDF members have a great deal of respect for each others' capabilities and they continue to share what they have learned from each other, said Harrison.
"I am very impressed with the high quality of training being done by our Army Soldiers from the Texas National Guard, but more importantly, I am impressed with how they are working with the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force counterparts," said Harrison.

Egypt official says Sinai bombing kills 3 police, wounds 8
CAIRO (AP) -- Egypt's state news agency says three policemen have been killed in a roadside bombing in the turbulent north of the Sinai Peninsula.
MENA quoted an unidentified security official saying that the Wednesday explosion targeted an armored personnel carrier in the city of el-Arish, wounding another 8 policemen.
The official says the wounded were taken to the military hospital in el-Arish.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the latest attack. A local affiliate of the Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for a series of attacks on security forces in Sinai since 2014.
Egypt has for years been fighting a Sinai-based Islamic insurgency. The attacks have grown more frequent and deadlier since 2013, when President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, then the defense minister, led the ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.

Topic: Kongregate Multiplayer Games / [Heroes of Gaia] Recent pricing errors and bans - official Kongregate statement
Every single one of you trying to claim the moral high ground in this are absolutely disgusting. Especially that twit bart, who despite having quit the game ~2 years ago necessitates ad hominem fallacies against him every time he posts.
Look at some of the names on the list. Some players who hadn't exploited a bug or glitch in their years playing the game are on that list – Nanett the friendly grandmother for example – You know what that tells me? That of everyone who could abuse something like this, there's maybe three players in the entirety of the history of Gaia who wouldn't.
Lol @ the idea of a lawsuit against snail, compared to all the crap they've pulled over the years this – that isn't even their fault – is relatively minor in damage to but a few players who had ample reason to quit before hand. Lest we forget going on 4 years of absolutely horrendous customer service, terrible decisions, and neglect. Not only that, but they're a company based in China. I'm really doubting they care about any supposed infractions of US law.

We used Ingrid to help us initially rent our home and then sell our home when we were ready. Being first time rentors and sellers we were clueless as to how to proceed. Ingrid guided us every step of the way. She was always available to meet with us, answer our questions, and support us through the "waiting for the right offer/renter" phases. Ingrid was professional, experienced and always focused on our best interests. She was a pleasure to work with. We were lucky to have her to work with.

Thought that the specific recommendations from the CEASA paper "An Evaluation of the Current State and Future of XBRL and Interactive Data for Investors and Analysts" might be useful:
"We believe there are several conditions for XBRL to be widely used:
1. The entire XBRL community must find a way to reduce significantly the error rate and unnecessary extensions (company-specific data tags). Some approaches that might achieve this are: providing greater regulatory oversight, potentially requiring an audit of the data, or requiring filers to resolve the error and quality checks communicated to them by XBRL US.
2. Filers should spend the effort they are investing in attempting to destroy the SEC's XBRL regulation on improving the quality of their own data, as well as on making their own data more useful and accessible to users.
3. XBRL technology development needs to be taken over and run by technologists, rather than accountants and regulators. An alternate and challenging approach to improving the underlying technology would possibly be to partner with the major business information system vendors (like IBM, Oracle and SAP), the key web-based financial information suppliers (like Google and Yahoo) and possibly even the major data aggregators (Bloomberg, CapitalIQ, FactSet and Thomson Reuters) not only to ensure the necessary mapping to the regulatory use of XBRL is as seamless as possible, but, more importantly, to get them to help improve the XBRL technology overall."
The entire CEASA's paper "An Evaluation of the Current State and Future of XBRL and Interactive Data for Investors and Analysts" is now available here: http://www8.gsb.columbia.edu/ceasa/newsn/2252
While I think Mike's recommendations above based on the CEASA paper appear insightful and potentially helpful, as a member of the financial reporting practice and after having been heavily involved in the XBRL process for multiple companies, large (Fortune 500) and small, I can say with much confidence that the items above are not capturing the full story. The reason for "unnecessary extensions" is due in large part to the vagueness of the XBRL rules set forth by the SEC as to what needs to be tagged and at what level a definition or other attribute is considered "material", such that usage of an extended tag over a standard tag is warranted. In more than a few instances, the use of an extension was warranted merely due to the fact that the standard tag was set up incorrectly (calling a liability an asset, wrong data type, wrong period type, etc). As each iteration of the standard taxonomy has been published, financial reporting personnel from each industry has issued comment letters and held meetings with the SEC to add standard tags for their industry or correct erroneous tags. To point 2, while there will always been some members who believe XBRL is a waste of time and will spend time trying to prove this point, I believe the majority of those in industry do spend a tremendous amount of time and take the mandate for XBRL very seriously. The investment by each company has been huge in terms of cash flow and human capital because nobody wants to show up on XBRLcloud.com with a bad filing, especially given the amount of time each company takes to ensure its financial reports on their own are correct. I do think plenty of members complain about the burden of it, but their time is still spent complying with, not fighting against the mandate. Lastly, as for XBRL technology development being taken over by technologists, I believe a partnership may be helpful, but I believe XBRL fro financial reporting should remain in the hands of accountants. Each time we have a new filing and rely on our providers to take a first pass at tagging, without fail there are numerous mistakes simply because the IT personnel doing the tagging do not understand the data and information being tagged. Due to the complexity of US GAAP, it takes much more than a basic understanding, especially for detail tagging, to cover the 500 to 1,000+ tags required in a filing and to be sure that they are correct.
One other point to bring up regarding auditing the tags - yes, this could be helpful, but with the cost of compliance with XBRL already being so high, adding further cost could sink the project altogether. I have seen many more articles about the huge cost of compliance with very little perceived benefit and further adding to the cost without equally adding to the benefit could drive more companies past the point of tolerance for the mandate. It is clear to the business community that the SEC does not consider XBRL to be a priority. Furthermore, there are already tools in place to analyze the data and personnel are already working significant amounts of overtime just to get the earnings release and quarterly and annual reports out on time (both internal and on the audit side). Given that financial statements are growing in size, not shrinking, and disclosures are becoming more in depth and more complicated, adding additional layers of compliance with no benefit is not the way to go. The other areas of quality will suffer and, if you require the auditors to get involved, that means less time for them to catch the real accounting issues, rather than chasing areas that most auditors are not readily qualified to audit (given that the majority, especially staff and senior level, have never been exposed to XBRL, much less required to audit XBRL).
XBRL should be put in context of a transformational shift in making physical documents computer readable. There is no alternative. As an example the CDO squared product required someone who had a fiduciary duty to examine the prospectuses to read through one (1) billion pages! Get real, get moving, get it right with accounting statements and then move on to prospectuses, offering memorandum, et al.
As someone who has been a change agent for nearly five decades in the financial services industry, I can attest to the fact that transformations around technology take nearly a generation to take hold and to work out the kinks.
Be patient – XBRL works. Taken together with another transformational effort, the Global Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) system now set for approval by 60 countries under the sponsorship of the Financial Stability Board, we are on our way.
The financial parts of our global economy have to catch up with the commercial and retail trade supply chain. They have had the benefit of transformational technology in the form of the bar code and the unique identification system embedded in it for nearly four decades. The efficiency of Walmart, the rise of Federal Express, the success of Amazon would not be possible without data standards and computer readable documents.
A lot of the issues mentioned in the article and discussed in comments will be resolved when the major accounting software programs that accounting firms use start outputting the data in XBRL format. As it is now, accountants deliver financials in standard format to the issuer, who then takes it to a filing agent (most often), who then creates a version in XBRL. This is probably where most errors creep in, as the filing agents are often left to come up with the modified tags. But they do not have the same understanding of the financials that the accountant/auditor does. Even though the modified tags may be sent back to the accountant for review, the accountant often has little knowledge of XBRL which still increases the chance of mistakes being made.
In terms of auditing the XBRL, I'm not sure who would even be able to do this, at least not cost effectively. It couldn't be done by an accountant alone because they do not understand the XBRL, and it couldn't be done by a techie because they don't have the in depth understanding of the accounting behind the financials.
In order for XBRL to take hold, there has to be value beyond public filings. The day when a small business using Quickbooks or Simply Accounting can export their data in XBRL and submit it to a bank for a loan (as an example), XBRL will really take off. In this example, the amount of time the bank could potentially save processing a company's loan application could be significant.
Perhaps more emphasis should be placed on the primary XML file which holds the meat of a company's financial data. A lot of fundamental company information is contained in this one file. As it is, there are 4 linkbase files relating to presentation, calculation, definition and labels. There isn't one single file (unless they are zipped) that investors can link to. Instead there are 6 individual files which can be a bit daunting to look at for anyone without an understanding of XBRL or at least XML.
Ironically, XBRL probably stands to benefit small issuers more than large cap companies. The biggest filers already have hundreds of analysts combing through their financials as soon as they are released, but most smaller issuers do not. XBRL can provide a way for investors to analyze an issuers performance even if they don't have a strong knowledge of reading financials. Good third party software is of course key to this.
The submission process for XBRL on EDGAR could possibly be improved too. There are different categories of errors. These only check for technical errors in the XBRL, but even then it is not always clear whether the error is just a warning or a fundamental error that will cause the submission to be rejected.
I think it would be very helpful if the SEC showcased examples of companies successfully using XBRL outside of filings as a way to exchange data with business partners, apply for a commercial loan or insurance policy, review the data internally to improve inefficiencies, etc. Outside of pubco filings, I've been working with microfinance practitioners for ways to use XBRL to exchange information on MFIs in a standardized format. There are XBRL taxonomies being used for SRI reporting. Around world there are innovative uses of XBRL. Once businesses see cost inefficiencies improved and, hopefully, profits increased through the use of XBRL, its value will become more apparent.
I come at these issues from a different perspective. As the co- founder and thirteen year CEO of EDGAR Online, we played an important role in the development of XBRL and the company continues to do so now that it owned by RR Donnelley.
Our perspective from the outset was that the purpose of supporting and developing XBRL was to democratize access to financial information for consumers of that information. Based on the underlying fact that a large percentage of the financial data that was being published and relied upon was flawed, we embraced XBRL as the solution to accuracy and timeliness and, on our own, created a taxonomy years before the SEC mandate, in order to assure that our data was the best in the marketplace.
We all know the history of XBRL from 1998 to today. I have views on how and why it does or doesn't meet expectations. I do not want to go down that path in this comment.
After leaving EDGAR Online, my partner and I undertook to extend our original vision by leveraging XBRL for the further democratization of the underlying data for a vast underserved audience whose needs are unmet by current offerings. The result of that effort is 9W Search, http://www.9wsearch.com .
9W Search's goal is to deliver the one right answer to a financial question in a format that is intuitive. It is aimed at today's audience of business users who need answers without plowing through the labyrinth of standard financial reports and without knowing what goes on behind the curtain or under the hood. It is also intended for mobile use which, of course, is the next generation delivery standard.
I note that some of the comments surrounding the white paper from the Center for Excellence in Accounting and Security Analysis at Columbia Business School focus on the option of leaving XBRL in the hands of the large financial information vendors. I would like to point out that 9W Search, an early stage company that is already viewed as a thought leader in this space has created a platform that will be evolving and growing from here forward.
I would welcome the opportunity to speak with all of the parties in the supply chain about 9W and invite you to sign up for our new release at http://www.9wsearch.com . With your support and cooperation we will be even better positioned to deal with the opportunities that XBRL offers to millions of information consumers.
It took barcodes a long time to be accepted and implemented, but now their use is commonplace. XBRL is more powerful than barcodes because XBRL not only defines the tagged business and financial reporting data, but also creates relationships in that data. The creation of relationships and the ability to use formulas upon those relationships provides the potential for real-time data validation and identification of outliers that need attention (which is one way the SEC is identifying who to target for investigation).
Where are the technology innovators? Where are the large retailers, manufacturers and the like who are willing to implement pilot programs? It would behoove those that must comply with the SEC mandate to cease from fighting it and look for ways to benefit from it.
The specific recommendations from the CEASA paper "An Evaluation of the Current State and Future of XBRL and Interactive Data for Investors and Analysts" are:
"We believe there are several conditions for XBRL to be widely used:
1. The entire XBRL community must find a way to reduce significantly the error rate and unnecessary extensions (company-specific data tags).

The common report quality errors outlined in the SEC Staff Observations are very basic accounting / reporting issues including:
-amounts are backwards (e.g. debits reflected as credits and vice-versa);
-company specific extensions are inappropriate;
-disclosures are not tagged;
-totals do not add up;
-context is either missing or wrong (e.g. I am six gallons tall);
-and other subjective or judgmental items.
The error issue is subjective items that cannot be automatically detected and thereby are very commonly found in company reports. Using appropriate analytical tools that enable more effective identification of these types of subjective error types is really a great step in efficiently identifying them and thereby resolving them. Such tools range from open source (free) to $2,500 and include: Arelle, Corefiling Magnify, Fujitsu XWand, XBRLCloud and XBRL US Consistency Suite to name a few.
One simple remedy exists to putting XBRL in the hands of investors - while XBRL is all about standardized tagging, companies often modify them with unnecessary company specific extensions in ways that they'll argue "better represents their business" but in the process these companies are effectively distorting comparisons for investors, and as we all know, there's money in mystery. Its simple...eliminate the extensions and you increase the comparability. I personally know of several XBRL based tools available on the market that are very useful for analyzing and reporting against individual company financial data or data aggregated in a time series across sectors or multiple company groupings etc. try http://www.sqlpower.ca/xbrlpower/page/xbrl-analytics-appliance
