Warm and accessible staff, beautiful location, charming atmosphere.
The proprietor was wonderful. The breakfast was our best in Ireland, lots of delicious homemade breads. The Wolfhound 'puppy' was memorable!
I might say the furnishings needed a little updating, but on the other hand, they leant some nice character. Everything was nice and clean and comfortable, so that's most important.
Location is fabulous.
Room was a bit small for a triple. Breakfast was not included in room rate.
Nice cozy feel, big rooms, clean. Right on the Ring of Kerry
Wifi didn't work, but we didn't need it.
Yes. It was very enjoyable and relaxing and the staff were very friendly and polite. The rooms were cozy and relaxing.
Location is excellent
Hotel really needs a revamp. Very old decor and stale smell in the room from the carpet.No lift very awkward fro buggies
Very clean, bright and comfortable. Accommodating hosts who went out of their way to ensure we had what we needed as my husband was ill when we arrived and they gave us extra bedding and assistance to ensure his comfort was forefront. Much appreciated!!
Great room, amazing views, close to restaurant/pub, wonderful breakfast, perfect hosts
The owner was so friendly and welcoming even though we arrived quite late. He insisted on making us tea and got us delicious treats to go with it. Fresh eggs from his own chickens for breakfast! Very clean and relaxing place to stay!
It was a little difficult to find. Our GPS didn't have the roads all the way out there. It was worth it, once we found it!
Hotel Employee was so helpful! The food was terrific, the bed comfortable, everything clean.

My attempt to scrub the bathroom wall above the bathtub didn't go quite as planned. What could go wrong when you are standing on a step stool straddling the tub and attempting to reach that annoying dirt in the corner of the ceiling? Well, when the step stool thingie you are standing on collapses because it's older than your married son, then you have a problem.
Luckily I didn't seriously hurt anything more than my pride. But the real loss was that step stool. My late aunt and uncle gave it to me and it had been a fixture in the kitchen for many years. It was one of those step stools with two steps and the bottom one pulled out to stabilize it. The top had a seat just right for sitting at the stove while constantly stirring a cheese sauce for the cauliflower. The seat flipped up so you could, if you were foolish enough, stand on the top step.
It had shiny chrome legs and a padded blue seat. It was the makeshift kiddie chair I scooted up to the table when our son was small and wanted to color at the kitchen table or when a little niece or nephew visited and needed a place to sit and help me make pepperoni rolls.
When it was time to take down the curtains or put up the Christmas lights, we reached for that step stool. And it took plenty of abuse, being knocked to the floor by accident, a few times too many. It's where I plopped a heavy bag of groceries when I stumbled into the kitchen and where I sometimes stacked cookbooks as I searched for a recipe I had torn out of the newspaper and stashed inside one of those books.
My attempt to replace this favored kitchen accessory has been met with frustration. Can't find one anywhere that even comes close to what I had. Don't get me wrong, I really don't have a great need or desire for "things" in my life. But when something you actually use on a daily basis works well, you hate to lose it.
This search only emphasized to me that despite our free trade policies in this country, I really believe that our choices for many quality products are fewer today than they were 30 or 40 years ago when the U.S. was the king of worldwide manufacturing.
My step stool has gone the way of the Wheeling Steel garbage cans that used to line the alleys of local neighborhoods. Even plain old ice tea glasses are either made in China or are outrageously expensive and much too fancy for my Fiesta ware. Don't even attempt to take my 38-year-old ironing board from me. Sure, it's lost its rubber coverings off two of the four legs and it's heavier than any ironing board made today, but it works and serves me well.
It's the same for clothing. The socks my husband wore for years that we bought at Sears are no longer available. I guess they went the way of the big dryer in the sky that eats socks for selfish reasons.
For now I am content with the "things" in my life because, for the most part, they may be aging but still useful. It's much like more than half of our population these days. As for step stools, I'll keep looking.

I am using Zimbra with a Windows Moble device (Motorola Q) and am generally happy with the set-up.
But I am encountering an error in the ActiveSync set-up that I need help resolving.
In the ActiveSync "Schedule" options, I have selected "As Items Arrive" for my syncing frequency so that emails arrive on my mobile device immediately. But when I check the "Status" option in ActiveSync, I see the following error:
"ActiveSync failed to configure your account to sync as new items arrive. Contact your Exchange Server administrator."
Any ideas on how to resolve this? Does Zimbra support the "As new items arrive" option for syncing?
When I change the syncing schedule to "every 5 minutes" this error message goes away. Of course, I would rather have my items sync as they arrive if this is possible.
Thanks in advance for the help.

An Innovation in the transport of the flameFor the Athens to Ottawa stage of the torch relay the Olympic flame travelled by air, but not by plane. Instead, a sensor used to detect ionized particles of the Flame turned them into coded impulses. The impulses were transmitted by satellite to Ottawa where they activated a laser beam which recreated the Olympic flame in its original shape. The African BoycottDespite there being no African athletes present (they participated in a boycott organised by Tanzania, in which 22 countries came together to protest against a tour of South Africa by the New Zealand national rugby team), the standard of the competitions at the 1976 Olympic Games was very high.The Medal for the least populated countryWith its 53,500 inhabitants, Bermuda became the most sparsely-populated country to win a medal at the Summer Games, thanks to Clarence Hill who won the bronze medal in boxing in the heavyweight category.An Artificial pitchHockey was played on an artificial pitch for the first time.

It is made up of the Olympic rings mounted on an Olympic podium, which is also the graphic interpretation of the letter M, the initial of Montreal.

Coffee Presses
French Press Coffee Makers
Often referred to as a "French Press," coffee presses combine ease of use with slow-brew quality, without the eco-terror of disposable filters. Using your press is simple: Start with freshly ground beans and grind them coarsely just before each brew. Add good quality, filtered water that's been heated to between 198 and 204 degrees Fahrenheit. The right temperature is essential to extract essential oils and to develop the fullest flavor from the coffee beans. Stir, then let the grounds steep in the the hot water for four minutes before pressing the plunger down to filter out the grounds. Pour and enjoy!
La Cafetiere Lexi Cafetiere - 8 cupsLa Cafetiere Lexi Bone China Cafetiere is an elegant and sleek 8-cup French press exclusively designed by Alison Appleton. Cafetiere is synonymous with French press in Europe. This French press brings good looks and special features to the table. The silicone lined lid and rim filter eliminate messy sediment and leave great taste. The gorgeous tall slender bone china carafe is lighter weight than its stainless steel counterparts and a seal in the lid keeps the brewed coffee hotter than a glass press pot. Learn More$59.99

How many chain links included?
only 1?
One set of links is included in the package. Let me know if you have any other questions. firstname.lastname@example.com
Can I use the link on a Dura-Ace CN-9000...
Can I use the link on a Dura-Ace CN-9000 chain?
how many times can you remove and reinstall...
how many times can you remove and reinstall this link?
These links are multi use. I am not aware of a specific number of times that you would want to reuse the link specifically. I have used one in the past on 2 or 3 chains with good results. I don't think i would recommend multiple use beyond that.
There is no limit. I work at a bike shop and we always encourage our customers to purchase these with new chains (usually during a custom build). We also use them on all of our personal bikes. I'm a bit of a clean freak so I'll take mine off once a month or so for a deep chain clean. 12 months in and I haven't had any issues.
I think the answer above is about how many chains you can use, not how many times you can remove and reattach (some brands are single use).
Very easy to use
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The Connex master link works very well (when installed in the proper orientation). This link can be easily disconnected without tools but will not disconnect in normal use. It is an clever design. This allows easy removal of the chain for a thorough cleaning which will increase the life of the chain, cogs and rings. I have used this link with a Connex 10S1 and with a Dura Ace CN-7901.
Tip: if the chain seems to jump out of smallest cog, then the link misoriented. If the link is on the run of chain above the chain stay, the mounting holes will resemble a "V" or look like a heart; also the mounting holes of the outer link plate will be the leading portion of the link as the pedals are turned in the forward direction. This orientation will insure that the "bump" side of the link is not the side that contancts the rings/cogs. If this bump is on the side that contacts the cogs, then the chain will tend to jump in the 11 tooth cog. Here is view of the link correctly installed:
Great links........
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I use to run Wipperman chains and their master link is much easier to get off by. hand than other brands. Works great and easy to follow instructions for installation.

Emblica Fruit (Phyllanthus emblica L.) is commonly known as Amla, Emblika, Aonla, Mirobalano, Emblic, Emblic mirobalan, or Indian gooseberry. Originating in the tropical areas of parts of India and Southeast Asia, the Emblica tree is relatively small to moderate in size, growing delicate looking leaves that appear almost lacy in texture. It produces a fruit that is bitter to the taste and contains high levels of vitamin C. The tree trunk of the Emblica fruit is usually crooked, while featuring a profusion of spreading branches. Blossoms are yellowish-green in coloring and the fruit itself is pale yellow in color. The fruit contains lupeol, emblicanin A and B, gibberellins, punigluconin, pedunculaginn, and glucoside, and offers a bitter taste, but it has been said that drinking water afterward creates a sweet taste in the mouth.
In Sanskrit, Emblica fruit is known as Amalaki. This word translates to the phrase, "the fruit where the goddess of prosperity presides." In India, the tree has been worshiped for its nourishing nature since ancient times. It has been said to symbolize "Earth Mother" and to nourish mankind.
Emblica Fruit has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries for the purposes of promoting a disease-free, healthy lifestyle. Ayurveda is the traditional health care system in place for India. Emblica fruit is included as a rejuvenating component of chyavanprash (an Ayurvedic jam) and triphala (an herbal blend). Due to the fact that it is sour and astringent in taste, it has been used frequently to minimize the presence of excessive salivation and relieve symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and lightheadedness. In traditional Chinese medicinal therapies, Emblica fruit has been used to heal inflammation of the throat and similar maladies.
Every part of the Emblica plant, including its seeds, leaves, fruit, and bark is utilized in medicinal formulations designed to treat flatulence, colic, peptic ulcers, leprosy, asthma, insomnia, anemia, diabetes, intermittent fevers, bronchitis, cardiac disorders, emaciation, hemorrhages, skin disorders, hyperactivity, anorexia, and inflammation. Part of the fruit has been used to treat inflammatory eye conditions, including conjunctivitis. In particular, fermented fruit of the Emblica tree has been used medicinally to treat dyspepsia, coughs, and jaundice. It can also be ingested as a laxative to relieve constipation.
Emblica fruit has been used to make poultices for the purpose of treating vertigo and headache as well as burning sensations experienced by the body. The roots are noted for emetic capabilities, and the bark of the roots has been used to alleviate the symptoms of ulcerative stomatitis, jaundice, and diarrhea. The leaves have been turned into a concoction that is designed to reduce fevers and inflammation, as well as alleviating the symptoms of dysentery, diarrhea, and dyspepsia.
Emblica fruit extract offers potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capabilities. The fruit of this perennial tree contains amino acids, minerals, and high levels of vitamin C. This plant contains tannins, rutin, phenolic compounds, phyllembelic acid, and emblicol. The tannins have been credited with aiding in preventing damage due to oxidation.
Traditionally, Emblica fruit has been used for a variety of anti-diabetic, antibacterial, hypolipidemic, antioxidant, anti-ulcerogenic, diuretic, gastro-protective, cemo-preventive, and hepato-protective purposes and used in a wide-ranging span of capabilities, including as a laxative, emetic, aperient, carminative, stomachic, astringent, cardioprotectant, and hypoglycemic agent. Traditional medicine also made use of Emblica fruit in formulations designed to stimulate hair growth. While some studies exist, more are needed to determine whether or not the results are truly definitive of this particular source of botanical ingredients.
Emblica features chelating and enzyme-inhibiting properties, and as such, it is considered a powerful antioxidant. It offers stable antioxidant protection over long periods of time. Having been noted for its these capabilities, it is used in products designed to minimize the appearance of expression lines, wrinkles, freckles, dry skin, and discoloration such as age spots, Emblica fruit has found its way into the world of skincare and cosmetics.
Having been patented for use in cosmetic products, Emblica is commercially available and included in products aimed at skin protection. As a natural antioxidant, Emblica protects against free-radical damage and offers skin cells protection against damaging UV radiation. Emblica fruit is touted as an anti-aging ingredient with multi-functional capability. Supplements made from Emblica fruit which promote good stomach health and relieve dryness of the mouth and sore throat are typically found in pill or powder form.

(Sioux City) -- A Pocahontas county farmer has been sentenced to three years probation after he had converted property that he had pledged as collateral for USDA government loans. Andrew Frerk, age 34, of rural Havelock received the prison term after entering a guilty plea to one count of converting to his own use nearly $60,000 worth of property, which were mortgaged or pledged to, or held by the Commodity Credit Corporation through the Farm Service Agency and the U-S Department of Agriculture. Frerk made false statements to secure FSA loans, used the proceeds from the sale of FSA mortgaged property for his own use, and concealed his acts of conversation from loan managers. Frerk was sentenced in Sioux City by U-S District Court Judge Mark Bennett. Frerk paid $58,339 in restitution costs.
(LeMars) -- The LeMars Chamber of Commerce has named a second person as "Employee of the Month". Today, the honor is awarded to Noelle Kneip. When Noelle graduated from Iowa State University a few years ago, her first priority was to relocate back to her hometown of LeMars. In addition, to being in love with her future husband, Troy, and having great family support, she needed a job and was looking for a career in banking. Upon expressing her interest in First National Bank, she accepted the bank's employment offer as a customer service representative. Soon after, she was promoted to a personal banker, spent some time in one of the bank's Sioux City locations and today is a very successful mortgage lender, located at the South Bank location in LeMars. Now married, and mother of two sons, Noelle Kneip continues to be a tremendous asset to First Naional Bank. She is an outstanding employee who makes great impressions each and every day with her co-workers and with her many valued, repeat customers. With her professional and ever-caring service, customers know they are in good hands when it comes to their mortgage needs, consumer loans, or any deposit services. In addition to being a very knowledgeable personal banker, Noelle demonstrates a high degree of honesty and dedication in everything she does. She is especially good at finding satisfying solutions and putting her customer's needs first. Congratulations to Noelle Kneip for being the recognized as the Chamber's Employee of the Month.

MOLINE, Ill. (AP) - Deere & Co. spent $374,000 to lobby Congress and federal regulators during the third quarter to protect the signal for GPS systems and express concerns about farming
The Moline, Ill., company is the world's largest maker of agricultural equipment. The amount Deere spent on lobbying is more than the $350,000 it spent in last year's third quarter and more than the $340,000 it spent in this year's second quarter.
Deere said in a report filed Oct. 20 that it lobbied Congress and the Federal Communications Commission about the use of spectrum rights for communication because it is worried that LightSquared's proposed new nationwide Internet network could threaten the GPS signals many Deere tractors use.
Deere also said it lobbied on financial reforms, crop insurance and efficient water use standards.

Is the NFL in Roberts' future?
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- NFL scouts sometimes make calls to University of Charleston coach Pat Kirkland and even pay an occasional visit to UC practices.
In their no-stones-unturned search for talent, they see the Golden Eagles' Jordan Roberts as an all-around athlete who's worth a look, his Division II status notwithstanding.
In light of Roberts' play in UC's season-ending 62-0 victory over West Virginia State at UC Stadium on Saturday, the scouts may ratchet up their interest a bit.
Roberts, a 5-foot-11, 218-pound senior from Madison, rushed 28 times for 301 yards and five touchdowns and set an NCAA Division II record by rushing for 273 before halftime, breaking the Division II first-half rushing mark of 229 set by Kentucky State's Alvon Brown in 2000.
Running through tackles like so many highway cones, he scored on runs of 19, 66, 9 and 24 yards in helping UC (9-2) to a 48-0 halftime lead and added an 8-yard scoring run in his only series of the second half.
NFL possibilities, said Kirkland, are realistic.
"The big reason the scouts like him is not only is he a good tailback,'' said the UC coach, "but he plays on all of our special teams. And sometimes that's where a lot of those guys get their niche and get their foot in the door.''
The former Kennedy Award winner has stirred up considerable interest, Kirkland added.
"Most of the NFL teams have contacted us,'' he said. "A number of those teams have been on campus looking at Jordan and a couple other guys, but obviously Jordan's the main one. He's got the speed, talent, work ethic. He's a very coachable young man. There's a number of Division II players in the NFL, and there's a number that get drafted each year. I would anticipate a lot going on for Jordan this spring.''
Roberts admits he holds NFL aspirations but, for the moment, hopes the Golden Eagles will be selected to play in the six-team Division II regional, which is part of the 24-team national championship playoff. The pairings will be announced later today.
"I think we put ourselves in a position to hopefully make the playoffs,'' Roberts said. "If we don't, it's going to hurt. I've got big dreams for this team and hopefully we can make the playoffs for the first time. And I have big dreams for myself. I'm proud of our coaches, our players, everybody that got me here. It would be a shame to end our season right now. I think we can compete with anybody.''
His 301 rushing yards easily surpassed the school's single-game record of 229, a mark set by Julian Lambert in 2003 and equaled by Roberts last year.
"I would say this game or the [UNC] Pembroke game was my best game in college,'' he said, "but I would say my best game ever was in high school when I scored eight touchdowns in the second round of the playoffs.''
Roberts also set a UC single-season rushing record, finishing with 1,622 yards on 238 carries, to break the mark of 1,430 he set last year. UC's records date back to 2003, the year the school revived football after a 47-yard absence.
Roberts entered the game averaging 127.1 rushing yards to rank 15th in Division II, and his 183.8 all-purpose yards were seventh. He leads the West Virginia Conference in both categories.
UC, which has won 16 of its last 19 games, loses 11 seniors, who, said Kirkland, have been essential to the team's progress.
"I can't say enough about the group of seniors,'' he said. "This season has been a direct reflection of them, their work ethic and their dedication to this football program. Our seniors got the boat in the right direction.''
The Yellow Jackets (2-9) ended the season with six straight losses and, if all goes well, might see an increase in scholarships next year. State coach Earl Monroe estimates the school now offers only "12 or 13,'' which is far below the NCAA maximum of 36.
"We're trying to increase the scholarships,'' said Monroe. "I know they're working on that, but to say how many and when, I say we'll probably know in the near future.''
In the meantime, Monroe was not pleased with his team's play on Saturday, especially in its attempts to tackle Roberts.
"We were just arm tackling,'' he said, "and he was running through us. I was hoping it would be a spark for a linebacker or defensive end, knowing you're playing against one of the top guys in the country. I was hoping it would motivate them to have a good game. But [the Golden Eagles] were just more physical than we were today. We have to get more physical guys who play with a little more attitude.''
State totaled just 150 yards of offense and never advanced past the UC 32 in the first half.

Baltimore County News
Dave Goldman, Chief
Bureau of Behavioral Health
Baltimore County Department of Health
On St. Patrick's Day, it is customary to wear green clothing and honor Irish traditions. On the college scene, wearing green is optional, but drinking green beer – now that's another story. The Urban Dictionary calls St. Patrick's Day the most important "alcoholiday" of the year. The trend to use March 17th as an excuse to drink excessively has gained popularity over the years and for some, has become an accepted norm.
The availability of drinking games, inexpensive drink specials, and failure to check IDs on St. Patrick's Day promotes underage and high-risk drinking among patrons of all ages. Local bars, taverns and restaurants, however, can be a part of the solution to this phenomenon - not just on St. Patrick's Day, but all year long by exhibiting responsible practices in their sales and service of alcohol. Our County Liquor Board works actively with bar and liquor store owners to offer training and ensure compliance with all applicable laws.
The list of potential problems caused by underage and high-risk drinking should be the impetus for communities to work together to curb underage and high-risk alcohol consumption. It is well known that alcohol diminishes inhibitions and affects judgment, which can lead to a variety of poor choices, including unplanned sexual activity, aggressive behavior, academic problems, etc.
So please don't let this St. Patrick's Day be another time you "look the other way" when you see festively dressed minors congregating outside of a bar. Do our County a favor and support the efforts of the Baltimore County Combating Underage Drinking Coalition. The Coalition is working to reduce youth access to alcohol, increase community recognition of the associated problems, and pursue policy change regarding underage and high-risk drinking. The Coalition meets monthly and community members are welcome. For more information about the Coalition, call the Baltimore County Department of Health at 410-887-3828.

Can I know whether does Zimbra system allow for external logging in via a URL containing the login information? It means I got a intranet site (after the user have logged in to it) and there is a link that when clicked will directly go into the Zimbra system. Something like a single-logon.
If it is possible, how can it be done?
thanks for any input.

By Jesse Nankin
Twenty-five New England journalists filed into a small auditorium on an unseasonably warm November afternoon. We came from all corners of New England—some dewy-eyed, others more seasoned, but all eager to learn more about how to harness the full potential of online resources and public records laws to help sustain today's public service journalism.
Robert Rosenthal, executive director of the Center for Investigative Reporting, stepped up to the podium. Here stood a man who has worked in some of the most competitive newsrooms in the country and has been awarded the industry's most prestigious honors. From an assistant to the Pentagon Papers reporting team at The New York Times in 1971 to heading up his own investigative reporting center, Rosenthal has been witness to journalism's zenith and to its current identity crisis. His message to us: with some ingenuity, a willingness to collaborate with other media organizations and a strong grasp of the resources available, we can help breathe new life into investigative and watchdog journalism.
Rosenthal's energy set the tone for three days of intensive workshops that touched on our rights under federal and state freedom of access laws; discussed new models of investigative reporting; and delved into the seemingly rapidly expanding world of online reporting databases and tools.
Along with Rosenthal were more than 30 skilled reporters and legal experts who served as faculty for the three days, including three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Walt Bogdanich of the New York Times, Doug Clifton, former executive editor of The Miami Herald and Cleveland Plain Dealer and Jennifer LaFleur, of ProPublica. For the complete line up, click here.
The conference, sponsored by the New England First Amendment Coalition and cosponsored by The Initiative for Investigative Reporting at Northeastern University, was the first annual New England First Amendment Institute. It was held from Nov. 13- Nov. 15, 2011. The idea: To inspire and inform and to pump fresh energy into journalism's tireless fight for transparency and access to information.
Below are some of the takeaways.
Freedom of Information –Arming Yourself with the Law, the Parlance and a little Swagger
When it comes to requesting information, said Boston Globe reporter Sean Murphy, start with the assumption that you can have it and remember the following:
- Be professional
- Document everything and stay highly organized
- Be open to compromise
- Be persistent, be patient
Finally, Murphy tells us to be confident, walk with a swagger and reminds us to 'get off the phone and hang out where the records are kept.'
So just what documents exist out there, and what is public? ProPublica's Jennifer LaFleur suggests that reporters request document retention schedules from government agencies. And do your homework, she says! Know the language the agency uses and precisely how to describe the documents you are requesting.
As for those pricey fees that too often come attached to an agency's response to a request: Ask the agency to itemize, and don't be afraid to push back.
Mike Donoghue, Vermont's resident FOI expert and a veteran reporter at the Burlington Free Press, had this to add:
- Know the nuances of the law
- Depersonalize, and say, 'we've both got jobs to do and I am just doing mine.'
- Go up the line at the first refusal
- Use refusals as fodder for editorials
- Pay attention to where your public officials stand on open access, and write about it
Tips from the Legal Team
Not every media outlet—especially in today's economic environment—has the luxury of having a legal team to give advice or to fight FOI battles. So several of New England's FOI attorneys spent the morning at the Institute to educate on the federal and state laws, and to then answer our questions. Freedom of access laws vary by state, and a report that may be public in one state may be protected information in another. You can learn more about the laws in your states by visiting the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press or the New England First Amendment Center.
Their tips included:
- Think about how your FOI requests look to the other person—be specific and focused and keep your request narrow
- Be willing to cajole and negotiate: For example, if an agency refuses because the document contains private information, remind the agency that they can always redact the identifiable information and still provide the document
- Make contacts and get to know the people from whom you are requesting documents
- Always follow up—do not be afraid to challenge a refusal and get the denial in writing
- The first contact when requesting information should be by phone so that when you put it in writing, you get it right the first time.
Computer-Assisted Reporting and Working the Web to Your Advantage
Think you know every corner of the Internet—every database, every resource available to you? Think again! CAR experts Todd Wallack, from The Boston Globe, and Mark Horvit, the executive director of Investigative Reporters and Editors, shared their favorite sites and experiences squeezing information from the World Wide Web.
Wallack had this fun fact for us: Check out pet license databases. Aside from learning the most popular pet name in a particular year, it can be a way to obtain contact information for individuals. Pet owners want to make sure Fido finds his way home so even cell phones may be available.
Google tools you may not know about: Google's word frequency counter and Google advance, which among its many features, allows you to search by file type (e.g. .xls).
Filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission are online and can be a wealth of data on a company or on individuals associated with a company. You can search for the business connections and interests of an individual running for town council, for example.
Also worth noting: "Form D" is filed before the initial public offering or IPO, and can tip a reporter off to a new hot start-up; annual reports (10-K) include everything from the income table, the balance sheet, some current litigations, properties owned, biographies on the major players, including key shareholders, and compensation; investor forms will disclose holdings and reveal insider transactions.
But don't be intimidated or fooled by the language in these forms; use the glossaries to your advantage, Wallack suggests. For example, the "non-equity incentive plan compensation" on a summary compensation table is just a bonus (!!) in sheep's clothing.
IRE's Horvit recommends fishing with a focus and using as many as three separate search engines when researching a person or entity. Get a second and third opinion, he says. When you search Google, you are not searching the entire Internet, only the Google servers.
Horvit also directed us to several databases listed here and under the appropriate categories on Watchdog New England's website:
Good for background research and finding publicly available records online:
Complete Planet (A compilation of more than 70,000 searchable databases and specialty search engines)
IPL2 –the Internet Public Library
BRB Publications –A portal to finding public records
Maplight.org –U.S. Congress Campaign Contributions and Voting Database
People, Addresses and Social Media Search Tools
Zabasearch.com –Address search
Pipl.com -People search
SocialMention.com –Real time social media search and analysis
Whostalkin.com –Social medial search tool
Samepoint Search –"Reputation Management Social Media Search"
IceRocket.com –Search blogs, Twitter and Facebook, among other media sites
PeekYou.com –People Search
LinkedIn –Use to find former employees at a company of interest, among other information
Domain Searches (find out who owns a domain name)
Quarkbase –Website information, analysis and research tool
Searching the "dead" Web
The "Wayback Machine" is an Internet archive. It can, for example, help a reporter catch political retractions, wavers or changes in stance.
MINERVA –Library of Congress Web Archives
CyberCemetery– Archives of former federal websites
Uncovering the Story
The conference was not all legalese and techie talk. The fellows were also regaled with "war stories" from some of journalism's best and brightest. Within these stories lay hidden, timeless gems of strategy when pursuing a story.
Within this group was three-time Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Steve Kurkjian, senior fellow at The Initiative for Investigative Reporting.
Here are some Kurkjian tidbits:
- Understand your source's motivations
- Reach out to people who used to work at a place you are investigating but are no longer there; you can find them by searching old directories or culling through newspaper clips
- Use sources as beacons for where the documents exist
- Know the vernacular of the people you are probing for information
- Know the risks—legal or otherwise
- Establish a rapport with your sources—be empathetic and be a good listener.
Bulletproofing the Story
Our conference wrapped up with advice from IRE's Horvit on making sure a story will stand up. First and foremost, Horvit suggests attacking your own hypotheses. Work as hard to disprove as you do to prove, he says, and be in tune with your own biases and those of the public. Secondly, background all of your key sources and seek out independent confirmation of facts (even for a feature/human interest story) to avoid unexpected embarrassment down the road.
Do not be afraid to use experts to help you understand documents and data.
Do not go alone to key interviews.
The baloney detection: Never write around what you don't know; admit what you are unable to confirm.
Be fair: Let sources see your data, obey the "no surprise" rule and keep opinions to yourself. Knock out the adjectives and characterizations from your story.
The New England First Amendment Coalition currently has funding for two more years of the Institute, with hopes of securing more funds to continue hosting this excellent opportunity for the region's journalists. Check back on their website or ours for information on how you can apply.

Video: Man Dead, Toddler Injured In Prince George's County Shooting
SEAT PLEASANT, Md. (WUSA) -- A father and his child, whom he was carrying in his arms, were shot in a stairwell in the 6800 block of Seat Pleasant Drive on Wednesday morning. The toddler's father was pronounced dead at the scene, say authorities.
The Prince George's County State's Attorney confirms that the victim Nichoh Mayhew, 25, was slated to testify in a murder trial in February. Law enforcement sources tell 9News that investigators are trying to determine if he was murdered for cooperating with police.
Mayhew's mother, Cynthia Dinkins-Mayhew, says she doesn't need investigators to give her an official motive for her son's slaying. Late Wednesday night she told 9News' Ken Molestina that she believed her 25-year old son was killed because he was set to be a key witness in a murder case scheduled for February.
Dinkins-Mayhew is blaming the Prince George's County States Attorney's office for her son's death, saying , "Ya'll can go home and hug your kids every night and I can't...I can't."
She said the office didn't do enough to protect her son. She added,"They should have done a better job, but their main focus was to try and lock people up...but my child is gone."
A spokesman for The Prince George's County States Attorney's office said they were going to wait for the police investigation to officially determine a motive for Nicoh Mayhew's shooting death before they make any comment on this case.
The toddlerm a 2-year-old boy, is expected to survive, reports WUSA 9 reporter Bruce Leshan.
Officials say they responded to the scene at approximately 10:15 a.m. Wednesday. Officials believe the father was targeted.
A police spokesperson says two people were seen fleeing in a black BMW sedan with tinted windows and unknown Maryland tags.
If you have any information about this case call Crime Solvers at 1-866-411 TIPS (8477), or text "PGPD plus your message" to CRIMES (274637) on your cell phone. You can also go to http://www.princegeorgescountymd.gov/police/. You may remain anonymous.

OS: CentOS 4.2
My machine boots up and I see all of the services launching fine. When it gets to Zimbra, it hangs, so all I see is:
Starting Zimbra:
(Normally I would expect to see Starting Zimbra: [OK])
This hang is infinite. But then I notice in /var/log/messages that there is an unusual message...
"Nov 12 20:20:01 zebrax-cent zimbra: Do you want to choose a different one? [n]"
So it seems that the Zimbra startup process is blocking waiting for me to hit 'y' or 'n'. And sure enough, hitting 'n' at my primary console (which shows the boot up) unblocks Zimbra. But I have to do this at every bootup.
If I disable Zimbra from startup and try running /etc/init.d/zimbra start manually as root, it starts up fine.
Anyone have any idea?

Scatter shot. DISH has owned Sling for years and now Fox notices? DISH even had Sling built in to a receiver in the past (not a add on) and Fox didn't notice?
Anyone else notice that the Fox complaint also takes aim at the Sling adapter?
This reminds me of the suit a few years ago when Fox News complained that they were not in DISH's lowest package (AT120). Their agreement with DISH placed the channel in DISH's most popular package (AT200). Fox does not seem to be able to pay attention to their contracts.

Celebrating Lucky Sevens at The K
Lately, it's lucky sevens for Caleb Todd.
The young Blue Springs, Mo., resident got an early birthday present when he came out to Kauffman Stadium Wednesday, July 4, to see the Royals face Seattle. The reason behind the trip – besides, of course, catching his favorite team in action – rested all on a persistent Grandpa and the extra-special birthday Caleb is celebrating this Saturday.
That's when Caleb turns 7…on July 7, 2007…the seventh day of the seventh month…7-7-07. No matter which way you say it, it's pretty cool – especially if it means an invitation to chill in the Royals home dugout.
Thanks to a one-man PR effort and some good word of mouth by Caleb's Grandpa Billy Barnes, Caleb, his Grandpa, his Grandma, Janet Barnes, and his parents, Justin and Nicky Todd, came out to The K a little early on the Fourth of July as one of many small celebrations of Caleb's big day. On Saturday, Caleb will join other 7-year-olds in the state to receive a special proclamation from Governor Matt Blunt and he will be mentioned in a special national story on "Lucky 7's" across the country.
Unfortunately, his visit to Kauffman on July 4, wasn't as lucky for the fans (or the team) as the local Lucky-Seven kid would hope. Batting practice on the field was cancelled due to rain, the Royals missed on completing the sweep with a 4-0 loss and the Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular was cancelled. But, that didn't stop Caleb, who was sporting an orange 7-7-7-7 shirt, from showing off a toothy-grin and proudly proclaiming to every baseball player and coach he met: "I'll be 7 on 7-7-7!"

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Drop Handlebars in stock than that.View Similar Products
PRO PLT Handlebar $0.00
Pros need handlebar choices. Take a look at the bike stable of any professional cycling team and you'll see a proliferation of bends to accommodate a number of riders with different positions and preferences. PRO uses the PLT line to offer up a handlebar for nearly any situation.
They start with double-butted AL-2014 tubes. They have an expanded 31.8mm center section but quickly taper down to the traditional bar diameter. The PLT Compact II is extra shallow and extra short -- 125mm of drop and 78mm of reach. It splits the difference between round and anatomic, with a curve that starts at a 50mm radius, and gradually becomes a 110mm radius at the bottom of the drops. It's easy to get your hand into a natural position in the drops, and the brake levers are never too far from reach. And perhaps the greatest benefit of the shallow drop, is that you will actually ride there because they're not too far away or too low to use comfortably.
The PRO PLT Handlebars have a 31.8mm clamp diameter. They're matte black anodized and come in four widths -- 38, 40, 42, and 44cm measured center-to-center. The bars are grooved for hidden cable routing, and they can be used with any 31.8mm stem without voiding the warranty. There is no rider weight limit, and Shimano says they can be used with clip-on aerobars.

Gravity (2013)
Gravity SynopsisAcademy Award® winners Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side) and George Clooney (Syriana) star in Gravity, a heart-pounding thriller that pulls you into the infinite and unforgiving realm of deep space. The film was directed by Oscar® nominee Alfonso Cuarón (Children of Men).
Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (Clooney). But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalski completely alonetethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness.
The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left.
But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.

Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity Was More Expensive Than India's Mars Probe Program
While Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity wasn't the most expensive movie that was made and released last year, it did still cost a pretty penny. According to Warner Bros., the sci-fi spectacle cost $100 million to make -a great deal of which likely went towards doing all of the visual effects and paying the contracts held by Sandra Bullock and George Clooney.

This is How Gravity Should Have Ended
It was meant as an April Fools joke, selling unsuspecting viewers on an alternate opening sequence to Alfonso Cuarons Oscar-winning masterpiece, Gravity. But the editing on the clip is so seamless, and the concept so amusing, we had to continue to share it.

Alfonso Cuaron Is The Best Director Oscar Winner For Gravity
Gravity traveled through two administrations at Warner Bros., struggling to earn a greenlight as Cuaron pitched a $100 million thrill ride primarily through the eyes of one superstar. Originally that would be Angelina Jolie, with Robert Downey Jr. providing the support, but none of the parties involved expected a daunting technical process that basically involved the invention of entirely new technology.

For Your Consideration: Technically Speaking, Gravity Is The Year's Best Picture
Gravity, to me, is a masterful ride a harrowing but gloriously rewarding film that has deeper layers resting beneath its popcorn-thriller exterior. This, at heart, is the story of a damaged and unsure woman fighting to find a reason to live again in the wake of a terrible loss. It is an emotional survival story, tucked inside of a physical survival story.

After all, the material demands the screen size, and in the future IMAX screenings will be much less available. Take the opportunity when it presents itself.

VALDOSTA, Ga. (AP) -- Authorities say a south Georgia high school student apparently climbed atop an upright roll of wrestling mats, fell into a center opening and died after he became trapped inside.
Lowndes County sheriff's officials said Monday that 17-year-old Lowndes High School student Kendrick Johnson became lodged inside the roll of mats, upside down. His body was found Friday in the high school's old gym.
Authorities say no foul play is suspected. Lowndes County Sheriff Chris Prine tells The Valdosta Times that an autopsy, his investigators and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation found no signs of a struggle.
Although investigators do not believe foul play was involved, the sheriff said he and his investigators will continue interviewing students and friends who have additional information.

I'm starting to hear people around the DC Metro saying that familiar refrain again... "we need the rain". It seems like we're always in need of Mother Nature's watering can, doesn't it? Last year, we were especially parched, but 2013 has done a decent job of making up for it so far. The summer of 2013 was unusually wet; while not exactly soggy, we did record above-average rainfall through the period defined as meteorological summer (the months of June, July and August). Rainfall was slightly above average in July (0.7" above), but the surplus can be owed almost entirely to June. We got 9.97" of rain, which is about 164% of our average precipitation for that month.
While August was much drier than average, with 1.59" less rain than in a typical August, it was a month with frequent unsettled weather. We recorded at least a trace of precipitation at Reagan National on 14 days in August, which means that it rained on almost half the days of the month. In July, it rained on 17 of the month's 31 days.
Now here we are in late September, with our year-to-date (YTD) precipitation of 28.67". By Friday, we will once again be lagging behind in precipitation for the year. After such a wet summer, how is this possible?
The summer season was playing catch-up after a prolonged dry period. In the first five months of 2013, DCA recorded below-average precipitation. From January through May, the precip deficit cumulatively added up to 3.38". We made up for this deficit during the soggy month of June and then some, ending the month almost three inches above average. As I mentioned earlier, July was also a bit wetter than average, but certainly not as soggy as June.
The past 2 months have been dry again, bringing us to our current situation. I would argue that, if there was a time of year you would want dry weather, this has to be it! First of all, the crops have pretty much stopped growing. It's getting close to harvest time, and in fact, some farmers are already clearing their fields. At least they're not having to deal with rain dampening their crops, and they're not sweltering in the heat and humidity, either! Which brings me to my other point... these temperatures are ideal for getting outside! Our average high is in the upper 70s, and it would be a shame to waste those nice temperatures on a rainy day. Finally, dry and sunny fall days can really help the colors pop in our local deciduous trees, and it's hard to enjoy the fall foliage when it's raining! So, while I agree that we need the rain to stay on pace for the yearly total, I'm going to enjoy this sunny autumn break, and hope for wetter weather later this year.

In terms of forums, we're not really a very strict forum, and we advise you to have some flexibility. We don't believe too many rules are necessary. However, Team Workshop last time around was nutraped, and I wanna make sure that doesn't happen again. I'm not gonna add gay Serebii restrictions like, "4 Emoticons per post" (does it really fucking matter) but I'm gonna restrict the things that I feel are really necessary to restrict. This isn't many things, but this is the Revelation of your Bible. Remember that.
1 - Only experienced people can rate teams
Last time people were saying, "oh hhey you should replace dragon claw with waterfall and then it will be an elite pokemonz!". Not gonna happen again. This time around, I'm not going to update a list, but I am going to ask you to PM me first asking if you can be allowed to rate teams. I'll then have a quick look through your posts, if they're worthy, and then I'll give the big tick. If you don't do this and you randomly start rating teams with nub advice then I do have the power to kick you from this board, believe it or not. You can also ask Fullmetal, but NOONE else.
2 - Format
I'm not going to go overboard and say that you should follow some really specific guidelines, I am just saying that there is a huge difference between this foo and this foo:
Yes I did go a bit sarcastic on the presentation, but we seriously did get bollucks like this last time around. This is impossible to rate, if it's like this then I'll be locking your topic and telling you to correct the format. If you keep doing it then I'll be adding warnings, but it's not a huge offence.
What I mean by ideal format is this:
Salamence @ Choice Band
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Aerial Ace
There was alot of confusion about this last time, however, so you DON'T HAVE to use this format. Just make it so it's readable and easily fixed in quotes. That way we may consider actually rating it.
3 - Complaining afterhand
Now last time I've seen shit like, "I don't have the TM" or "Where is the tutor?". Really and seriously, use a reference place if you wanna find this out, or ask us beforehand or tell us you don't have the said TMs. It's annoying as Kayfabe; we're rating teams, not checking sites which have no relevance to what you're actually doing
Edit: We by the way have nothing to offer that http://www.smogon.com, a community of mathematical folk interested in Pokémon battling to an obsessive extent, don't. I can always answer your questions but I never claimed to be amazing, just able to answer your questions.

Concepts for changes along US 441/Pine Avenue corridor
Published: Monday, January 21, 2013 at 4:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 21, 2013 at 4:53 p.m.
Like many a well-intentioned New Year's resolution, the road "diet" to reduce U.S. 441/Pine Avenue from six lanes and a center turning lane to four lanes seems to have waned.
If you go
What: Public meetings to view FDOT concepts for the U.S. 441/Pine Avenue corridor
When: 3 and 5:30 p.m. Wednesday
Where: Ocala Police Department Community Room, 402 S. Pine Ave., Ocala
The Florida Department of Transportation, which has been working on a corridor study of Pine Avenue between County Road 475, near the Pizza Hut, and Northwest Second Street at the base of the overpass, will display some concepts that resulted from the study at two meetings this week in hopes of getting public input. But do not look for a road diet. It is not there.
The city of Ocala had hoped the unattractive, under-utilized roadway could be reconfigured to create an attractive, pedestrian-friendly crossing that would link west Ocala with downtown, adding credence to the city's 2035 visioning plan to reunite the two communities that have been divided since the roadway was expanded to six lanes.
FDOT has focused, instead, on making changes to the corridor's three major intersections, CR 464, more commonly known as 17th Street; State Road 200; and State Road 40, also called Silver Springs Boulevard.
For instance, instead of having one turning lane, one proposal is for two turning lanes from Pine Avenue's northbound lane turning west onto 17th Street, which appears to be more vehicle friendly than pedestrian friendly. Pedestrians on the west side of Pine, who are crossing 17th Street, would have to contend with two lanes of turning traffic instead of one.
When the idea for a road diet was proposed at a public meeting in July, there were people who objected to the change.
"They didn't seem to be particularly interested in the road diet," said Greg Slay, director of the Ocala/Marion County Transportation Planning Organization.
He said there was about a 60/40 split of those who attended.
The public will get to look at FDOT's concepts for the roadway by going to one of the two public meetings Wednesday, one at 3 p.m. and the other at 5:30 p.m. at the Ocala Police Department Community Room, 402 S. Pine Ave.
"We are just showing what some of the concepts are," Slay said.
Slay said there are some allowances for medians.
"These are areas we have identified problems with traffic crashes," he said.
Presumably, pedestrians could use the medians as small islands of refuge as they cross six lanes of traffic to or from downtown.
Asked if there would be any improvements to the road's appearance, Slay said, "There are things for landscaping and things like that, nothing extensive as a road diet. I don't think there is support for something like that at this point."
Slay said he included the road diet in the corridor study because it was part of the city's 2035 vision to connect east and west Ocala.
He said the median at Broadway, which, when installed, was seen as a barrier by city officials who are trying to attract more people downtown, was installed by the state as a result of serious crashes at that site. He said there were 17 serious crashes and one fatality at Broadway and Pine in a 12-month period.
Slay said there would be more emphasis on crossing at Broadway south of SR 40 and also on Northwest Second Street north of SR 40. He said when one considers where people live, those two crossings are better "gateways" and are better connected to the neighborhoods.
"Most folks are not going to walk over the bridge (on SR 40) to walk downtown," Slay said.
The next step in the process is to get pieces of the project on the state's priority list for funding for design, Slay said.

10 Painted Kitchen Backsplashes
Kitchen Inspiration
Elaborate polygon and mosaic glass tile backsplashes are lovely, but there's something to be said for a simple painted backsplash — no messy installation required. Just a paint brush and a little color, and you've got a whole new look.
A painted backsplash is a fine solution for the color-shy cook dying to break away from white. You're not committing to the whole room, so you can experiment a little! Think you're bold enough for black? Ready for red?
Have you painted your backsplash? What color did you choose?

One thing I was a bit dissapointed with on GTA4 was the lack of easter eggs and things to find. I understand R* wanting to make the game as realistic as possible but c'mon guys.
I think that in GTA4 and Red Dead R* missed out some great opportunities to add some great little features that would have been awesome...
Like in GTA4 on the helitours the pilot tells Niko that there are lots of sharks in the ocean but actually there isnt any, might sound a bit cheesy but as being a shark fan i would love to have a few scattered around the ocean areas to make things interesting.
I would also love to have a few more creepier areas in the game where the player actually feels a bit on edge as to what might be around. For example in GTA SA on Mt Chilliad there was the serial killer rumour and the big foot rumour. How cool would it be to have a mad man on the loose in certain areas.
These are just a couple of my ideas and i would love to hear yours, happy hunting!
