Three Things Thursday – Veggies, iCloud & Speed
|October 20, 2011

Three Things Thursday
1. Random final veggie garden harvest: look how huge these cucumbers are. I think we kind of forgot about them, they don't all look well grown, we'll see if they taste good. Cucumbers and onions were a success this season. The watermelons and the corn didn't grow very well. We have nothing planted at the moment – bad gardeners. There are some herbs. Maybe this is a project for this weekend.
2. I was about to rave about the cool new iCloud feature of the iPhone. It will automatically sync your calendar, contacts, pictures and documents between your devices. The cool thing is that if I take a picture on my iPhone, it'll automatically be on my computer. I used to have to email each one to myself in order to get it up on my blog. I say "I was about to rave" because that cucumber picture above – - well, it didn't show up on my photo stream. Weird. So, iCloud has the potential to be cool for my blogging, if only I could figure out how to push the sync. I took the picture last night – not sure what happened. (edited to say: I figured out the problem – I had turned Wi-Fi off – it must be on to sync iCloud – so now I'll give iCloud an official 2 thumbs up).
3. On the training plan today is a speed workout. I haven't done a speed workout in seemingly forever. I think all my aches and pains are healthy enough to push things a little. The plan calls for 2 one mile repeats at about 30 seconds faster than race pace with 1/2 mile recovery in between – with a 4 mile total distance. I'm contemplating getting the run in outside (I usually do speed on a treadmill so I can maintain my pace) – mainly because today is the Great California Shakeout (a statewide earthquake drill) and it's supposed to happen right when I'm at the gym and I don't want it to mess me up.
Anyone else participating in the Great California Shakeout? Both my kids' schools and MMT's schools have drills going.
What's your favorite speed workout? Repeats? Tempo runs?

My kiddos schools are participating. I'm not sure how I feel about the iCloud yet, it merged my phone and hubs and that's just a bit weird! I need to do speedwork today too… I don't have a favorite, I'll probably do repeats.

I haven't figured out iCloud yet. I decided to wait until I get my new phone.
Do you have the WordPress App? I use that to grab a picture from my phone for a post. I still use the desktop version to write the full post – and often delete the photo to re-load it from the gallery in a different size – but it's still easier than the email drill.

Microsoft trades TV dreams for priorities with Comcast share dump
Microsoft decision to kill its flagship $1bn investment in US cable-TV giant Comcast is a sign of strategic prioritization and financial necessity. The company's latest Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing has revealed that Microsoft no longer holds any of the 150-million-plus shares of common Comcast stock it …

A naked man caused a lot of trouble in Goodlettsville last week.
Police chased Christian Gregory down Moncrief Avenue before finally stopping him by blocking the street with police vehicles.
Police said Gregory jumped on one of the vehicles and stomped on the car, causing about $3,000 in damages to the vehicle.
Gregory was charged with indecent exposure, public intoxication, evading arrest, resisting arrest and vandalism. He will appear in court on Sept. 24.

I can tell you what the problem with Ponder is...
HE'S NOT THAT GOOD! Everyone expects him to perform like a first round pick, the problem is he never was first round material. HE WAS A REACH! Backup material at best...Hell, I pulled this off the Internet and it is spot on!
Scout.com quotes: Isnt overly aware of pass rushers and will take the kind of shots that are turnovers in the NFL Took almost every snap out of the shotgun and will need a lot of refinement Too often had just one read and locked on him constantly Will look awful at times when consistently pressured
PROJECTION: Ponder is a player who could go in the second round or drop well into Day 3...Lack of throwing velocity he has on deep balls and a history of throwing arm problems are all red flags

"But there's coming a day very soon when we'll play a team that will make us pay for making those errors."
On the way to its AAA-I state championship a year ago, Jackson Academy had but one blemish on its record, a 22-21 loss to Madison-Ridgeland Academy.
The definition of a trend is the general direction of how something moves.
The benefit of three early goals for the Starkville Academy soccer team on Tuesday was an easy win and even more important, a good rest for some players who desperately needed a breather.
Oak Hill Academy did all they could do to spoil Bailey Wofford's day on Tuesday.
Fortunately for Wofford, her Starkville Academy teammates wouldn't let it happen.
COLUMBUS – Starkville High opened up district play in dominating fashion on Tuesday in Columbus.
The Lady Yellowjackets cruised to a straight-sets win over the Lady Falcons 25-16, 25-3, and 25-13.
Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen reaffirmed his confidence Monday that junior tight end Marcus Green would play Saturday night against Louisiana State.
CLARKSDALE – Starkville Academy used a three-run rally in the eighth to edge Clarksdale-Lee 8-6 on the road in extra innings on Monday.
An impressive streak nearly came to an end during the final game of the Jacket Jam softball tournament hosted by Starkville High on Saturday.
It was a tale of two completely different games for the Starkville High School softball team to start the Jacket Jam Saturday.

REI wrote this warning and I am wondering what it prevents: Warning: Bent-gate carabiners should only be used on the end of the quickdraw or runner which the rope clips into. Never clip them directly to the protection. Any thoughts?
It's easier for the hanger to open a bent gate as it rotates around
Both bd & petzl show the potential for it to fatigue due to how constricted it becomes in the sling. So it's more the sling & constrictor band (or whatever you use) meant for better clipping rope-side which won't allow for the biner to move with the energy. Essentially, it's somewhat similar to crossloading a biner.
What if the string or gasket is off? Its really that much more likely to open?
The bent gate carabiner is designed for ease of clipping the rope, and the constricted end of the draw allows that carabiner to stay in place for clipping the rope. Also, the constricted end of the draw prevents the carabiner from cross loading as rope drag moves the draw around. The straight gate end of the draw for attaching to the anchor is loosely connected to the carabiner which allows the draw to move with the rope drag, thus preventing twisting and cross loading. With a bit of sport chuffing, the anchor end of the draw will get little nicks and burrs on the carabiner. This is no big deal in itself, but potentially dangerous to run the rope through the roughed up carabiner. I am not sure if the bent gate is easier to unclip from a hanger or not, but they have the same strength rating as a corresponding straight gate. Sorry if that was a bit long winded, but I hope it helps.
I also like this part from the original REI page : " But if not used properly, bent-gate carabiners can unclip from your rope. " right, unlike other carabiners? Does anyone have any solid information about bentgate carabiners being more likely to unclip due to back clipping or being more susceptible to unclipping from a hanger? Controlled comparisons of otherwise identical, straight vs bent gate only, please. Anecdotes need not reply.
Petzl's tech pdf on their draw shows the fatigue issue, page 4 diagram (they even drew a double-sided arrow to show the crossload). That's the reason for the safety notice. I tried to see if I could just cut & paste the diagram, but I can't. They have the other issues diagrammed as well.
their website is a friggin pita. try this (as an example): www.petzl.com/us/outdoor/non-locking-carabiners-0/ange-fines>>> click on the tech notice link for the pdf.
Linky no work!
Now it does.
I have bent gate positrons for the protection side and hot wires for rope side with petzl dog bones inbetween. Am I gonna die? If I understand what Petzl is saying correctly, it has nothing to do with the biner, it has to do with the anchor-end of the dog bone, it "must be mobile (no STRING)". "STRING" meaning the captured end. WTF is rei sayin? It doesn't make sense to me that a bent gate should "Never clip them directly to the protection".
In certain respects, fatigue is typically discussed in a high number of low stress cycles. I don't disagree with the two posts offered about the high frequency, that is typical situation when loading equipment as intended. However, fatigue is more abstract and need only to have cycles of stress which will have a cumulative effect to the point of failure. The failure will be influenced the shape, design, and where stress is placed -- a localized concentration of stress. So I would offer that thinking in terms of #000,000 cycles may be short-sighted. In this case, there is a clear indication of higher stress by design & shape that places a fatigue problem concentrating where Petzl has indicated. I also appreciate the nicking and otherwise scuffing of the bent gate biner, which will lend a problem to the rope in the friction coef, and as well, will also promote a place for fatigue.
this is why I gave up using my sport biners for trad... no matter how many times I tell my partners to use the bent gates for the rope end they never pay attn and when I'm seconding half of the time the rope is clipped through the bolt end. I finally just ponied up for wiregates specifically for my alpine draws now. You don't fall that much on bolts on trad so your biners don't get as nicked/damaged as your sport draws. Also, now I know why manufacturers don't fix the draw on the bolt end. Learn something new every day.

The Simple Life
The best gift I ever received was my dog Cooper at the age of 13. My dad picked him out specially for me, surprising me with a little fox terrier puppy that fit in my cupped hands - he was so tiny.
The reason he is the greatest gift I have ever received is because he is a constant reminder that the world is good. Amongst all the bad things that happen, just sitting with him for 5 minutes reminds me of unconditional love. Sometimes it takes just simple life and love to calm me down.
He is still here, 12 years later, sitting next to me all snuggled up as if nothing else in the world matters but having me close by. This, my friends, is what life is really about.

I'm not sure why this beer has a lot fewer reviews than its Strawberry and Apricot brothers; it seems to me they'd all be equally available. Cherry is my favorite flavor of those three, so I'm expecting to like this version best of all.
Melbourn Bros. Cherry looks like good old-fashioned red pop. The beer is dark cherry red and the head is a girlie light pink, soft and frothy. The head is on the small side and persists for a respectable amount of time. Two interconnected rings of lace sit perched above the beer's surface for the life of the bottle.
The nose is of sweet cherries mixed with Chardonnay. It doesn't really smell like beer, but that's okay. People who drink these Melbourn Bros. beers more than once should know what they're in for. Personally, I like 'em.
The flavor, to state the glaringly obvious, is the cherry version of the Melbourn line. That is to say, bright and fruity, sweet-and-sour cherries. At least the cherry flavor doesn't taste artificial, as it does in many cherry fruit beers brewed by those with less talent than the brothers Melbourn.
Good balance between sweet and tart; the relative proportions of each are just about how I'd have drawn them up. The total amount of sugar present and the somewhat thick, syrupy mouthfeel do tend to limit drinkability for me however. More than one bottle at a time is simply unthinkable and I tend to slow down quite a bit near the end.
In the final reckoning, I guess that I like all three of this brewery's fruit beers about the same (I might give the nod to this one if I was forced to choose). They aren't all that beer-like and I can't drink them often, but once in a while these sweet-tart treats hit the spot.

Appearance: Pours a cloudy cherry soda color with a pinkish head that hangs around for the duration and leaves some lacing
Smell: Cherry cough syrup...enough said
Taste: Starts out very sweet like a cherry soda and then the tartness hits mid-palate but never really does the job of balancing the sweetness
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with good carbonation
Drinkability: I generally like fruit beers but this one is just too sweet for my palate; I cannot even finish the bottle

Similar to the appricot and strawberry beers, only with cherries this time. There are a lot of one-dimensional fruit flavors, and little beer character. Rich, bold cherrys jump out at the nose, taking on deep, ripe (perhaps over-ripe), tart, and lightly soured aromas. A firm hint of woodiness and must intermingles with the fruits and sweetness. The beer looks very deeply maroon (cherry colored) with shards of black yeast sediments in suspension. Basically no head retention and very light on the carbonation. The flavors are all about the cherries, with litttle-to-no barley malt noticed in taste or body. The wood / must qualities pronounce more heavily in the taste than in flavors. The cherry flavors hinge on artificial flavors at times. The feel is moderate, because of the fruit dosage and little because of malt or dextrins. Finishes thin, slightly tart, with a cherry soda-pop resisual sweetness. Tasty, but I prefer more beer in my beer.

The beer pours a deep dark purple color with a thick frothy reddish purple head that fades to lacing. The aroma is great. It has a very fruity and tart cherry scent that is quite pleasant to the nose. The taste is great as well. It has an intense cherry flavor that goes down easy like candy. It has quite a tart finish which is very refreshing. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a medium bodied beer with good carbonaton. This is a damn good brew. I could drink about a gallon of this stuff.

Pours into my 25cl tulip glass with a pale pink colored head. The beer is dark cherry color that shows an almost clear, bright red color when held up to the light. This is clearly a cherry beer as the aroma of candied cherries jumps out of my glass without me even trying to smell the beer. A deeper inspection of the aroma yield nothing else but cherry, though perhaps there is a touch of something like play-doh.
The taste is not quite as sweet as the aroma would suggest, but it is definitely sweet. Cherry flavors are clearly the most prominent note here and that very faint play-doh note continues to be just noticeable in the flavor too. I am really having a hard time tasting anything but cherry flavors, this is very one dimensional. Because it is sweet, it definitely has a fuller body to it and there is a tannic character to it (sort of like cherry skins) that seems to boost the mouthfeel as well.
More like a cherry soda than anything, you would never be able to guess that there is a spontaneously fermented beer under here, and that is quite a shame. Not bad, just not really beer.

Pours a light pink, two finger head, fades slowly and leaves a good lace. Light carbonation and light bodied. Cloudy red color. Nose is a strong cherry. Like drinking a cherry soda, no detectable hops, finishes on the tart side. Good beer for someone who doesn't like beer. Expensive - $6.99 for a 12oz bottle from Tully's Beer & Wine Wells, Me.

The beer dispenses from the 355ml brown bottle a deep cherry color with a modest cherry colored frothy head and the residual lace a thin but concealing sheet. Nose is sweet cherry, fresh and crisp, and very appetizing with the start tart cherry sweet and a fair to middling profile, top is light to moderate in its feel to the palate. Finish is biting in its acidity and the cherry sweetness lingers on in the aftertaste, quite dry and a delightful change of pace.

Pours a dark cherry red in color with a pinkish head. The aroma is full of sweet and tart cherries. Taste is very similar to the nose in that it is all about the tart cherries that finishes dry. Overall, I think this is a pretty solid fruit beer that is worth having again. One of the major drawbacks is that it is extremely pricey.

Another sweet, but very drinkable brew from the brothers Melbourn. Dark ruby red with light red highlights and a head of pink-tinged foam. Aromas are pure cherry juice, cherry puree, and all things cherry. Not much of an ale base here. This is fruit juice beer all the way. Taste follows through with some soft ale-ish malt flavors and a burst of fresh, not artificial tasting cherries and sugar. There is also some spiciness to be found, but this stuff just gets a little too cloying over time. Mouthfeel is medium-light and drinkability is good, but the sweetness cuts it down a bit. Still a nice cherry beer for sure. All cherry lovers should buy this by the case.

This is pretty similiar to the Strawberry version by the Melbourn Bros. A reddish/copper color w/ little head that dies quickly and no lacings. The smell is not overtly cherry, unlike the immense strawberry smell in that brew, but it is noticeable with a sharp tartness. The cherry taste isn't quite up to snuff and the brew comes across a little like a cherry soda with a rough edge, but it is still a smooth drink. Not much reaason to drink this, especially at $7 a pop and the fact that the Strawberry is a much better option in my opinion.

Picked this one up for the wife and ended up drinking it myself.
A: Pours a nice deep red color kind of red wine looking. It has a small fizzy light pink head that is very lively. There are also some floaters which I really look forward to.
S: Nice tart cherries with sugar added. Kind of reminds me of a cherry tart which happens to be one of my favorite desserts.
T: Very nice. There is a nice cherry tartness with a very sweet backbone. It is a really nice tasting beer that could serve as a dessert.
M: Light and bubbly like an old time cherry soda.
D: It's a single bottle beer, but a nice sweet treat.
Overall: I have recently gotten to like these types of beers and this is a good example. If you don't mind a sweet brew, almost soda like this would be a good one for you. The alcohol is low and the taste is big. Give it a shot, move away from the traditional brews and give this one a go. I am going to try their other two versions Strawberry and Apricot and you should too.

This brew is a carbonic, clear, very red liquid. The head is a cotton-candy pink color. The aroma is all about cherries. Full, intense, and slightly tart, the smell is like a mashed up basket of cherries. The taste is similar, lots of cherries, with a little yeast and spice. Theres a little wild sourness that creeps in as well, and the whole brew works pretty well. Its not sweet, but not really dry either (semi-dry?), and is very refreshing. Im generally not a big fan of fruit brews, but this one is worth having again.

The beer poured into the chalice clear ruby with a light pink head which rose quickly and fell just as rapidly to lace the glass.
The aroma was cherries. Nuttin' but cherries. Like sniffing a bowlful of cherry lifesavers. To be fair there was just a hint of acidity in the aroma, but mainly it was a candy aroma of cherries.
The flavor was sweet on the palate as first contact is made and then the flavor dries slightly. The cherries in the aroma aren't there just for show, they really take a stand in the flavor. The acidity assists with drying out the flavor and the cherries taste more authentic than they smell.
The finish was dry with a linering cherry presence and a lingering acidity that was quite nice. The body was medium light. The cherries in the aroma seem artificial while the flavor seems more authentic.
12 ounce bottle, no freshness dating. Not a bad beer, but no real complexity exists.

The beer is just pretty. It pours a deep red color with a nice rose-colored head. When they say cherry, they mean cherry. The nose is strictly fresh crushed cherries. Beautiful. Initially drawing the beer into my mouth, I have a nice, sweet cherry flavor, but upon swallowing the beer, there is a nice tart, sour that almost causes me to pucker my lips, but balances out the sweet cherry flavor nicely. This is just a nice beer. This one is moderate in mouthfeel, with enough carbonation to keep it dancing. As far as things go, this is a nice easy drinking beer. I've enjoyed the other two offerings I have had from this brewery, but this is my favorite so far.

3.4/5 rDev -9.3%
Appearance: Dark, muddy reddish-brown color, with a layer of wafer-thin light-pink foam on top.
Aroma: Strong sweet red-apple aroma (yes, I smell apples, not cherry).
Flavor: Fairly sweet fruit flavor hits up front, with only the slightest bit of balancing sourness at the end. Wild-yeast lambic character is minimal.
Body: Light bodied, as expected.
Least interesting of the Melbourn beers, by far (my bias against sweetness may be to blame; I can't stand most sweet foods). The strawberry has excellent aroma, and the apricot has a complex taste. This lacks anything distinguishing.

Dark red color. Medium pinkish head. Aroma is very intense cherry. A medium bodied lambic. Cheery flavor is very pronounced but it has a nice sour/tartness that balances well with the fruit sweetness. Despite all the fruit sweetness, it still has a very solid malt backbone. Lots of flavor for a low alcohol beer. Light and refreshing and very, very sweet. It could be considered medicinal and cough medicine-ish by many. Not for everyone, but a nice fruit lambic. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet, yet there is a touch of bitterness.

Pours out a deep garnet hue, with a fizzy pink head like cream soda.
Aroma is a cross between preserved cherries, and cherry Nibs licorice--all in all comforting in a curious way.
Yup, more cherry in the flavour, and still riding the fence between real and faux varieties. A hint of pale malt can be discerned holding up this big red facade of flavour.
Mouthfeel is mostly carbonation, which lends to the perception of drinking pop.
You know, it'd make an okay dessert beer, or something to phase in once at some point on a hot day on the patio or barbecuing. Just one though, no more, no less.

RICHMOND, Va. -- Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, once viewed as a rising star in the GOP, and his wife were indicted Tuesday on federal corruption charges in a 14-count indictment accusing the couple of accepting tens of thousands of dollars in loans, shopping sprees, money for their daughter's wedding from the owner of a company that makes health supplements.
McDonnell and his wife both have firmly denied wrongdoing. Limited to a single term by state law, McDonnell left office this month .
Twelve of the counts are punishable by up to 20 years in prison each.Two are punishable up to 30 years. Fines can range from $250,000 to $1 million.
The 43-page indictment portrays a cozy relationship between the McDonnells and Williams that began even before he took office, with many of their interactions initiated by Maureen McDonnell. In 2009, just before the governor's inauguration, first lady Maureen McDonnell wrote to a senior staffer for her husband: "I need answers and Bob is screaming about the thousands I'm charging up in credit card debt. We are broke, have an unconscionable amount in credit card debt already, and this inaugural is killing us!"
Even before they took up residence in the governor's mansion, Williams was offering the family money. He was known as a donor who allowed the McDonnells use of his private jet on the campaign trail. In December, he was willing to pay for an Oscar de la Renta dress that the cash-strapped first lady could wear to the inauguration. Although she was the one who asked for the dress, she later refused the offer at the staffer's urging. But the partnership between Williams and the McDonnells was already underway.
However, the indictment says Maureen McDonnell cut a deal with Williams about two years later: if he bought her dresses and accessories for her daughter's wedding and the couple's anniversary, she would make sure he had a prime seat next to her husband at a political event in New York City.
Williams paid her nearly $20,000 tab at stores like Oscar de la Renta and Louis Vuitton, the indictment says. As promised, Williams was seated next to the governor at the event on April 13, 2011.
The indictment also details a $50,000 loan Williams made to the McDonnells in May 2011, along with $15,000 for their daughter's wedding. The money was later used to pay for catering costs for the wedding, as well as payments totaling nearly $20,000 for the family's credit cards.
Then, in June, Star Scientific began jockeying for grant money that could be used for researching the potential health benefits of one of its products, Anatabloc. The grants could not be given to for-profit entities; but Star Scientific was financially strapped, so company officials began reaching out to state research universities, asking them to apply for the grants to conduct the research. And the company held up two of the state's most visible figures in asking the universities to do its bidding: the governor and his wife, who supported researching the company's products.
The next month, the McDonnells enjoyed a lavish vacation at Williams' multimillion-dollar home on Smith Mountain Lake, which included free reign over Williams' personal Ferrari and a boat rented just for the occasion. Williams arranged for a staffer to deliver the luxury sports car from his Richmond home to the vacation estate 160 miles away, and Maureen McDonnell snapped a photo of her husband driving the car and emailed it to Williams on July 31.
The very next day, Williams was in a meeting with the McDonnells and a senior adviser in the state health department, pitching Star Scientific products and even suggesting that government employees could serve as a control group for research studies.
That same day, Maureen McDonnell asks Williams to buy her husband a Rolex watch. Even Williams is hesitant at first, asking if a senior government official would actually wear such a thing. But Williams acquiesced, buying a Rolex with "71st Governor of Virginia" engraved on the back that McDonnell later received as a Christmas gift.
Later that month, Star Scientific made an important announcement in a press release: The company was launching its signature product at a reception at the governor's mansion, with university research scientists in attendance.
For months afterward, Maureen McDonnell frequently appeared at events held by Star Scientific and discussed the company's virtues. Later that year, however, she sold more than 6,500 shares of stock she owned in the company, wanting to avoid having to report it on public disclosure forms.
Then, in February 2012, the McDonnells discussed transferring 50,000 shares of Star Scientific stock that they could use as collateral for a loan for their failing real estate business, MoBo. However, to avoid having to disclose the stock on public forms, Williams instead loaned the McDonnells $50,000. To avoid raising suspicion that Williams was loaning them the money, he told his assistant to void a check that listed Maureen McDonnell in the memo line and to write a new check.
As the gifts piled up, the governor's endorsements appear to have become more blunt. In March 2012, the governor pulled a bottle of Anatabloc from his pocket during a meeting with the secretary of administration during a discussion of reducing health care costs. He told her that he personally took the supplement, and that it worked.
By February 2013, the scheme began to unravel. The indictment says Maureen McDonnell lied about being longtime friends with Williams, even though he was only an acquaintance even as late as 2009. She and Bob McDonnell then tried to cover up the $50,000 loan. Maureen McDonnell also returned the clothes Williams had bought for her, suggesting his daughter could use them or that he donate them to charity.

One of the most talked about trades leading into the draft may not happen, and if it does it likely won't happen the way we thought it would. Ever since they brought him back, the Kansas City Chiefs were believed to have been shopping left tackle Branden Albert. They found a willing trade partner in the Miami Dolphins, but they aren't hearing everything they want to be hearing.
According to a report from Palm Beach Post writer Ben Volin, the Dolphins are willing to pay Albert the $9 million per year salary he wants, they just won't give up either of their second round draft picks to get him.
Heard from one source this morning that #Dolphins agree with @rosstuckernfl, that a 2nd rounder isn't worth it for Albert. We'll see…
— Ben Volin (@BenVolinPBP) April 25, 2013
So while it was looking like the Chiefs and Dolphins looked to be on the verge of a deal, things have changed and this may not be a trade that gets announced until the second day. It's worth noting that the Dolphins could have re-signed Jake Long for less than they're willing to pay Albert and they wouldn't have had to given up any picks to get him either.
But this is Jeff Ireland we're taking about, it's not like things are screwed on tight in Miami.

Absolutely fantastic!
The pictures don't do this property justice, the cabin and property are amazing! The property owners were excellent to deal with, incredibly helpful and pleasant! my family had an amazing vacation, we couldn't be happier with the entire experience, THANKS!!
A spectacular experience
The only negative thing I can talk about is how long it took me to write this review. I came with a few of my friends for the Memorial Day weekend and we had such a fantastic time. The house was perfect, clean, and beautiful. Whenever I had a question Dave was always available and even stopped by to bring us firewood and to see how we were doing. The area is wonderful and the neighbors were incredibly nice as well. I will definitely be back again in the future. Thank you Dave for a wonderful time.
Awesome weekend!!
We we were looking for a place close to Elk Mountain so we could ski and then have a nice place to come back to hang out with family. We had 8 adults and the Lake House accommodated us all with room to spare. It is purely as advertised in all of the other reviews. You really just need to bring food and clothes because Lori and Clay have provided everything else. The kitchen was my favorite room, and not because I cook. It was just sooo cool with the high table and chairs, the thick rustic wooden beams, and the neat assortment of hanging baskets. We ate at the table, I worked from the table and at night we played games at the table. And from the table you had a great view of the lake from two different windows. I could see the summer toys they have in the garage, the kayaks, the sailboat, canoes, and rowboats, and read about the fabulous fishing and would love to bring the family back for some summer fun as well. Oh yeah, and they welcomed our dog to come. BONUS!! Great job Lori and Clay. Thanks so much!!

Export Orientation of Service Companies on the Increase
AbstractIn the course of increasing internationalisation of the German economy, growth in export can also be expected for the German service sector. However, there has only been limited information about the export behaviour of German service companies so far. This gap can be closed to some extent by statistics existing since 2000. This study confirms that export orientation increased between 2000 and 2005. The proportion of exporting companies has augmented as well as the share of exports in turnover. There are differences according to industrial sectors. Small companies are generally less export-oriented than larger ones. The export potential is assessed as being favourable. One reason is that modern communication technologies ease the international exchange of information. The other reason is that in the international market-both in the European Union and in other countries-demand for services will also grow with investment by German companies abroad.

Ventnor Library hosted a World Book Night and as ever, an enjoyable evening. I picked Confessions of a GP, a light-hearted volume of short observations of the ways of the world (well patients) by Dr Benjamin Daniels.
We did some reading and swopping. I read from Stoner – a Vintage Classic – by John Williams, a piece from fairly early in the story when Stoner is asked to voice an opinion on a Shakespeare sonnet, and he's physically so overwhelmed he can hardly speak. Seemed fitting since 23rd April is taken as Shakespeare's birthday I'm told.
Someone read from Roger Deakin's Waterlog and I have that now on my list to acquire or quite possibly borrow from Ventnor library. It's fantastic to be read too and to discover another novelist that I've not come across before.
I've also been given The Help by Kathryn Stockett to read.
So all in all a superb evening.

Long-time Culbertson School District trustee and board chair Paul Finnicum was recently appointed to fill the post of president-elect of the Montana School Boards Association board.
Finnicum will succeed current MTSBA president Sabrina Steketee at the Montana Conference of Education Leadership in October. Finnicum will serve as MTSBA president through the 2015 Legislature and the Montana Conference of Education Leadership in October 2015.
Finnicum will fill a vacancy that occurred when Wayne Todd, of Denton, no longer served on his local board as of May.
"Paul's experience as a trustee has served MTSBA well in the past and we look forward to Paul's continued leadership both as President-Elect and President," said MTSBA Executive Director Lance Melton. "In making the appointment, I believe the board recognized Paul's tremendous experience not only in board leadership, but in understanding local control and the legislative process."
"The MTSBA Board recognized that Paul (Finnicum) has many endearing qualities like a sense of humor and a love and knowledge of music, but with this appointment, we see the tremendous commitment he has to K-12 public education not only in Culbertson, but for all Montana students," Steketee said.
"Paul and his family have a great history of public service not only on the school board – where Paul is a third-generation board chairman – but with local government and civic organizations as well," she said.
"We really look forward to the leadership qualities Paul brings; he will serve MTSBA well," Steketee said.

A longtime fixture in the Roosevelt County Courthouse, Pat Stennes is retiring after more than 41 years working for the county, 23 of which as clerk of the District Court.
Stennes started working for Roosevelt County in the Clerk and Recorder's Office in January 1973. She had returned home to Wolf Point after working in Billings following college. She later worked as a deputy under the Clerk of the District Court and was appointed clerk in 1991.
She was formally appointed Roosevelt County Superintendent of Schools in 2000. The position had been in her title earlier than 2000, but a past justice of the peace served as superintendent prior to 2000.
The changing of the guard for both of Stennes' positions will be Thursday, July 31, with 16-year county employee Jeri Toavs as the likely designee to replace Stennes. The county commissioners must formally appoint her.
"[Toavs] started in the clerk and recorder's office, also." Stennes said.
After working for the clerk and recorder for about one year, Toavs began working under Stennes as a deputy district court clerk in October 1999.
Laurie Evans recently began working with Stennes and Toavs and will be the new deputy clerk. She previously worked in the county treasurer's office.
Stennes was born in Wolf Point and graduated from Wolf Point High School. She spent time in the courthouse as a child. Her mother, Marge Stennes, is a former county employee. She continues to live in Wolf Point.
"When I was born, my mother was working in the clerk and recorder's office," Stennes said.
"I've always been here — it feels like. The lady who was my mother's boss was still here when I started," she said.
Stennes has seen a lot of changes come to the Roose-velt County Courthouse.
"Oh, man, the changes are unreal," she said.
"Judge [James] Sorte was the judge when I came," Stennes said.
The late Judge Sorte served on the bench in the 15th District from 1969 until 1994.
Judge David Cybulski took the reins of the 15th District in 1995 and remains as district judge.
"We didn't have computers when I started here," Stennes said.
She said everything was done manually in 1991. Today, the state provides software that is in use in the courthouse.
"The changes are the biggest thing and the changes in the crime. When I started here — criminal cases — maybe eight a year," Stennes said.
The number of felony cases — mostly drug-related — that are currently filed in the 15th District are at least eight each month. Six people appeared in court in Wolf Point for arraignments on felony drug cases, Wednesday, June 25.
Despite the sharp increase in criminal cases, Stennes said she will miss her job.
"You see the bad, but you see the good. The adoptions; they're the special cases," Stennes said.
Stennes said she plans to continue to live in Wolf Point for at least a few more years, but she wants to spend more time with her daughter and grandchildren in California.

A Wolf Point man told the Roosevelt County Board of County Commissioners, Tuesday, July 2, that they didn't honor a promise to repair Rodeo Road before the end of spring.
Bill Juve referred to the minutes of the Oct. 31, 2013, commission meeting where he said the board had promised to repair holes on Rodeo Road, just east of the city of Wolf Point.
"Spring is come. Spring is gone," Juve said.
"We've been down this road and back for four or five years now," he said.
Juve said potholes are causing wear and tear to vehicles.
Commission chairman Duane Nygaard said asphalt and a provider for oil are available.
"We are projecting that after Stampede, we will get that patched," he said.
Juve responded with a question of which year's Stampede.
"Before freeze up," Nygaard said.
In other business, the commissioners approved a purchase of two computers for the Sheriff's office for dispatch services for a little over $3,000.
The commissioners are required to pre-approve purchases exceeding $500, which had not been done. A representative of the Sheriff's Office told the commissioners the 911 board approved the purchase. Commissioner Gary Macdonald told him the commissioners ultimately have the power to make decisions.
The commissioners discussed hiring one-fourth of a human resources employee to share with Valley, Daniels and Sheridan counties. A meeting with commissioners of the other counties will be held at a later date.
