MIDDLETOWN, Conn. - Freshman Stacey Hochkins (New Boston, Mich.) scored two goals as the Holy Cross women's ice hockey team defeated Wesleyan, 5-2. The Crusaders improve to 10-0-1 (7-0-1 ECAC) while the Cardinals fall to 1-5-1 (0-3-0 NESCAC).
Holy Cross got on the board early, scoring two goals in the first period. Junior Kathryn O'Connor (Brookfield, Conn.) scored the first goal of the evening at the 8:17 mark off an assist from freshman Amy Pfund (Tenafly, N.J.) and junior Katelyn Doherty (Toronto, Ontario). Less than one minute later, at the 8:58 mark, Hochkins gave Holy Cross the 2-0 lead when she scored her eighth goal of the season, assisted by sophomore Jocelyn Kratchmer (Watrous, Saskatchewan) and senior Stephanie Couzin (Chicago, Ill.). Wesleyan's Heather Lindgren scored at the 18:47 mark to bring the score within one, 2-1.
The second period was held scoreless until the 18:07 mark when Wesleyan's Sena Ito scored the power play goal to tie the game, 2-2.
Holy Cross regained its lead at the 8:26 mark in the third period when freshman Nicola Garat (Princeton, N.J.) scored the game winning power play goal off an assist by Hochkins. Sophomore Christina D'Ambrogio (Toronto, Ontario) scored at the 17:48 mark to give Holy Cross the 4-2 lead followed by Hochkin's second goal of the evening at the 18:27 mark to end the game, 5-2.
Freshman Carly Dominick-Sobol (Syracuse, N.Y.) made the start in net for the Crusaders and earned her fifth win of the season. Dominick-Sobol had 26 saves, while Wesleyan goalkeeper Rachel Stemerman had 38. Holy Cross outshot Wesleyan 43-28 and went 1-3 on the man-advantage, while Wesleyan went 1-5.

The Veterans Certification Office can assist students with the processing of VA forms required for educational benefits,
but is primarily concerned with the certification of student enrollment to the VA so that students can receive their benefits.
After admission to the college, students should contact the VA certification coordinator to make an appointment to begin the
process of applying for their benefits. The following documents should be available when making application:
Students who need the College to certify their enrollment to the VA in order to receive benefits must notify the VA
Certification Office each semester after registering for classes.
Students are certified according to VA rules for each term or mini-term enrolled. For example, a student registered for a 1st session
and a full or regular session during a semester would be certified separately for each term. The length of the terms is also defined by
the VA as begining with the first day of class and ending with the last day of exams as published in the school calendar. The length of
the term translates to a number of weeks which is used in conjunction with the number of hours enrolled which equates to the student's
Training Time status (Full time, 3/4 time etc.). For example, the Full Fall 2006 semester at Middle Georgia State University was calculated
per VA requirements at 117 days or rounded to 17 weeks. For full-time training status the student must take 12 or more hours. Shorter terms
require less hours. For example, a Summer Maymester lasting 2 weeks would only require one 3 hour course for a student to be full time for that mini-term.
Students should always consult with the VA Certification Office if they are uncertain about the training status.
Students receiving VA benefits are responsible for paying all College bills. Since the VA is required by law to pay students benefits directly, students should plan accordingly
to fulfill their financial obligations to the College in a timely manner. The Atlanta processing center normally takes 8-10 weeks to process new education claims.
The College does participate in the VA Advance Pay, but such application is required to be submitted to the VA at least 45 days prior to the beginning of the semester.
Important News: Post 9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008.
The VA requires prompt notification whenever a student changes his or her program. Students who change their majors must immediately visit the VA Certification Office to complete a
Form 22-1995 (Request for Change of Program or Place of Training) or Form 22-5495 (Chapter 35) to apply for a change of program. The Certification Office continually audits students' majors
in the Banner Student Information System to ascertain the major program reported to the VA is correct. Students are notified when they are not in compliance and are requested to complete
the required forms for VA approval.
Middle Georgia State University limits academic residency to no more than twenty-five percent of the degree requirements for all undergraduate degrees for
active-duty service members. Academic residency can be completed at any time while active-duty service members are enrolled. Reservists and National
Guardsmen on active-duty are covered in the same manner.

Bovada Casino Review
There used to be on old TV spot that said "double your pleasure, double your fun," and right off the bat, Bovada.lv offers that up with a welcoming Match Bonus feature: Over your first eight (yes 8) deposits, you can receive bonuses equal to 100% of your deposit. In total, this can lead to an incredible $3000 chips in total deposit bonuses! What a great way to kick off your online casino play.
You'll feel like you've entered a real casino (without having to get dressed up) with their prolific offerings of every variety of games you can think of. From all your favorite classic table games (roulette, blackjack, Pai Gow, just to name a few, and several varieties of each game to boot) to more than 50 graphically dazzling slot choices, another 50 or so 3D slot options, specialty games like Bonus Bingo, Keno; a cool ancient Chinese dice game called Sic Bo; and every variety of video poker you can think of, including Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild and Double Bonus, just to name a few.
But wait, there's more! How about a complete sportsbook, featuring all your favorite games like football, baseball, basketball (collegiate and pro), soccer, MMA/UFC, tennis, golf and boxing (and many others); cash game and tournament poker with amazing prize pool guarantees and huge matching sign up bonuses of up to $1,000; and finally, horse-betting action from around the world.
- Well-designed, clear, easy-to-navigate and visually appealing site; you can find whatever you're looking for with very little effort.
- Hundreds of casino offerings of every variety you can think of.
- Generous sign up bonuses, including up to $1,000 matching poker sign up bonus.
- In business since 2007, so strong performance track record.
- Tons of online site information to help new players and seasoned pros alike.
- Might be nice to be able to test a sample game out without having to create an account right off the bat.
- Deposit and cash out options: Perhaps a little on the cumbersome side, and deposit minimums of $100 might discourage some newbies. Some of this, of course, is due to various regulatory and security issues, so it's also somewhat to protect you as far as requiring proof of identity for cashouts, etc. Fees of 4.9% are charged on top of your deposit for credit card deposits. Payouts require either a 5-10 business day wait, or a 10-20% fee deduction for a rapid transfer.
Creating an Account & Getting Into the Action
Getting started on Bovada.lv couldn't be easier: you just click on the site and you're in! Creating an account is similarly a one-minute affair; name, address, date of birth (naturally, they need to verify that you are of age!), and then you create a password. Badda bing badda boom, you're ready to play. Can't get much simpler than that.
Once you've done that, you'll easily navigate over your hundreds of action choices and everything is really made simple, wherever you go. We spent a lot of time exploring the site, and didn't come up against one thing we couldn't easily find the answer to in clear and simple language.
Naturally, you can also enjoy all the action on your mobile device at bovada.lv/mobile.
Get Your Bonus!
We've already mentioned the outstanding bonus structures on this site, and the referral incentives, but just to recap: The general casino sign up bonus for first-time players is 100% matching, up to a $500 deposit. For poker players, it's 100% matching sign up bonus up to $3,000, and for the sportsbook, it's a free 50% bet with your first deposit! That's a lot of free money for you to win even more with.
But the bonuses don't end there; you continue to receive credits for all your play that can be converted into more casino chips, plus you can designate one day a week as your "match" day to receive a deposit matching bonus.
Support & Security
You can be quite confident about Bovada.lv's SSL encryption levels, which protect all your personal information. The site also gives you loads of information on adjusting your device's security levels to keep you safe while being well able to use all of its features.
Customer service is available 24/7 via a toll-free number or email.
That's a Wrap
To recap, Bovada.lv is an easy-to-navigate, graphically rich, bonus-generous casino and sportsbetting site where you can find any game you want, any hour of the day or night. Whether you're new to online gambling, or looking for one place that has everything, this site really delivers.
Kind of like your local pizza joint, without the grease or calories.Claim up to $3000 free when you join Bovada now!

I read Wind Dancer's blog about her Jeep a second ago. Struck me as funny because I drive what she gave up for her Jeep while my hubby has a Jeep. I had to drive it this morning which I usually enjoy, just don't like driving it over 60mph, 'cause it makes me feel like the freakin thing will flip over if I hit a random shoe just right. Talk about white knuckles... However his cd player...
Was looking forward to Smokeout Festival, unfortunately can't go....hope the guys have a great show and hope those of you going have an awesome time! Maybe April will be a different story.
My phone is glitching...earlier this summer my phone "updated" one night, and somehow it assigned "Twist" to play whenever I have a message in my FB inbox. Now I'm getting message notifications even if there's no new message! It keeps going off, I kept waking up through out the night...BALLS!!! I've searched my phone to see where I can turn it off and I can't even find where to change the...
The other day my phone rang and it was my husband. He butt-dialed me, surprising because it's been awhile since he had a phone that made that possible LOL Of course I said "Hello? Hello?!" a couple of times, but he was busy talking to someone so he didn't hear me. Normally when that happens I just hang up. This time I left my phone on, put it on speaker and went back to what I was doing, all...
I need more coffee...(more coffee!) More coffee...(more coffee!) Right noooooow... Yeah, I'm a dork...sue me.
Of all people to point this out to me... While listening to Shoots and Ladders my 7yr old asks me "Is he saying London Bridges? Or London...um, you know...the B-word?" Cracks me up how "delicately" he posed his question...
Downloaded the San Antonio MAAW show last night, sounded like such a good show. We still have our unused tix for it. Still cracks me up that I won ROTD for it RIGHT AFTER we had to change plans and go to Corpus Christi. Can't complain though, Corpus ended up being a great experience!
Heard yesterday that people were stuck on the Texas Giant for 30 minutes before having to CLIMB DOWN 14 STORIES! NYAAAAH...We have season passes and almost went, and I always go on that ride. I like a good roller coaster, but I don't ever want to have to climb down off of one....glad no one was hurt, but I'm sure plenty were traumatized.
Finally downloaded a couple of shows. You know, I thought it was a cool thing to offer but I didn't realize how much I'd enjoy them til last night. Dallas Mayhem show from last summer was recently added and we were listening to it. This show is special to me for a few reasons: a) My hubby's first Korn show and he loved it. He looked so happy afterward. b) My first show back since Sick and...

Publisher's Description
Addressing the widespread and growing interest in the thought of Catholic theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar--whose influence on Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI has been enormous--this collection, by a team of established theologians and intellectuals, reflects on Balthasar's impact. Not a collection of scholarly articles, these are essays on the way in which Balthasar's theology is being taken up into other theological and philosophical projects, as well as contemplations on how Balthasar has influenced the authors personally. Key themes include the importance of beauty, the dramatic nature of truth, the centrality of revelation, the uniqueness and universality of Christ, and the intrinsic relationship between theology and sanctity. This volume is both a first-rate introduction to Balthasar and a window into the way that great theologians understand the driving questions of their work. Contributors include Michael Hanby, Nick Healy, Francesca Murphy, Danielle Nussberger, Cyril O'Regan, Tracey Rowland, and David L. Schindler.

At the UN climate negotiations under way in Poland this week, politicians will be poring over forecasts of climate change. It's an opportune moment for physicist Lenny Smith to challenge the climate modellers who he believes are overselling their results. Human activity really is changing the global climate, he tells Fred Pearce, but we must stop pretending that we know the details of how it will all play out
You work with climate models, but you have issues with them too. Why?
The temptation to interpret model noise as forecast information invades our living rooms every night. TV weather-forecast maps look so realistic it is hard not to over-interpret tiny details - to imagine that the band of rain passing over Oxfordshire at noon next Saturday requires postponing a barbecue. Rain may indeed be likely somewhere in the area sometime on Saturday, but the details we ...

I thought Warframe required a lot of grinding and such if you didn't want to pay anything?
If you just want to play to have fun, aka not worry about unlocking a new warframe or craft a new weapon/whatever - then the grind isn't a problem I'd guess. But if you want to level up your dude, and unlock/craft new warframes etc, then it can be pretty grindy. But I think that's the point of the game, since it is F2P after all

Honey Boo Boo's Uncle Poodle Comes Out as HIV-Positive on Bid to Promote Safe Sex
Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star Lee Thompson (aka Uncle Poodle) revealed in an interview with Fenuxe that he's HIV-positive, all thanks (but no thanks) to a disingenuous ex-boyfriend.
"I knew it had been my boyfriend who infected me," Lee said. "I later learned he had been HIV-positive and was not taking medication and had not bothered to tell me about it. I was advised that I should press charges and, hesitantly, I did. It was the right thing to do."
"I would have been cool with his HIV status if he had been honest. I don't have an issue with the disease," he continued. "I would have known how to protect myself."
By opening up publicly about his personal struggles, Lee is hoping to promote safe sex — as well as contribute to anti-bullying campaigns. "I know what it is like to be bullied. I know what it is like to live with HIV. I can help and I want to."
We admire his courage in speaking out, and we hope his dream of headlining his own reality show — about being gay in the South — comes true. Here Comes Uncle Poodle certainly has a nice ring to it! Are you taking notes, TLC?

Loft Conversion Companies West London
Loft conversions are becoming more and more popular as people find it easier and cheaper to extend rather than move.

American Idol
Amber Holcomb American Idol Top 7 Performance: "What About Love" (VIDEO)
Amber Holcomb continues to confound us on American Idol 2013. While she's yet to make a misstep during any of her performances, she keeps ending up in the bottom three. While she didn't get a lot of camera time during Hollywood Week, she hit the stage during the Las Vegas round for a rendition of "My Funny Valentine" that left the judges in awe. Since then, she's continued to impress them and yet she hasn't gotten the recognition in the world of social media.
Last week, Amber did Stevie Wonder proud with a rendition of "Lately" that had Mariah Carey calling her a "tour de force." Of course, Mimi then insulted us by asking if we understood what that means, but that's beside the point. We certainly hope Amber gains some traction online, as we agree with Jimmy Iovine that she deserves to be in the Top Three. Someone start an "Amber For American Idol" grassroots campaign STAT, as this girl has an old soul that reminds us (and the judges) of Whitney Houston.
Watch Amber Holcomb sing "What About Love" by Heart on the Top 7 American Idol performances show and share your thoughts on why she isn't a front-runner this season!

The Shanshu Prophecy is a prophecy that appears in the fictional universe of the television series Angel. Contained in the Scrolls of Aberjian, the prophecy first appears in the episode "Blind Date" and is more fully revealed in the season finale of the show's first season, "To Shanshu in L.A.". The Shanshu Prophecy foresees the restoration of a vampire with a soul into a mortal human being.
Translated, "shanshu" means both "to live" and "to die." Wesley interprets the text as meaning that the vampire with a soul will, at the end of his numerous trials, live as human once more.
As of issue 12 in the comic continuation, Angel After the Fall, Angel's true role in the Apocalypse is (seemingly) revealed to him through a vision granted by Wesley (which he claims comes from the higher ups at Wolfram and Hart). Angel, already on the verge of death, chooses to resign himself to oblivion rather than see the prophecy come to pass.
Angel's faith in his role wavers in the fifth season. He takes on a more corporate, bureaucratic approach to fighting evil when he takes control of the Los Angeles branch of Wolfram & Hart, and feels disconnected from his mission. Also, his old rival Spike (another vampire with a soul) is resurrected in L.A.; Spike had recently died as a Champion, sacrificing himself to save the world. Two of Angel's enemies, Eve and Lindsey McDonald, take advantage of the situation; Eve convinces Angel and Spike that the existence of two ensouled vampire Champions is interfering with the Shanshu Prophecy and tearing the bonds of reality. She presents them with a falsified translation of the prophecy, leading them to believe that they can only restore the balance of the universe by competing to drink from the Cup of Perpetual Torment; whoever drinks first will be the one to later become human. Before the hoax is revealed, Spike overpowers Angel and claims the prophesized destiny for himself, proving himself a true contender for Shanshu. Whilst arguing over who the prophecy talked about (Angel or Spike), Spike points out that Angel was cursed with his soul & had no choice in the matter whereas he chose to regain his soul, at which point Angel points out that Spike only did it to get into a girl's pants.
Angel later infiltrates the most powerful demon organization in this dimension, the Circle of the Black Thorn, in an attempt to uncover the representatives of the Senior Partners' power in this dimension. They demand a sacrifice from him to prove his loyalty: he is forced to sign away his potential claim to Shanshu, in his own blood, the Circle unable to understand that Angel would do good just for the sake of it rather than for any reward. Angel, Spike, and their remaining allies later assassinate each and every member of the Circle, thereby incurring the wrath of the armies of the Senior Partners.
Earlier, as Angel and Spike watch the others leaving for their coming battles, they discuss the Prophecy:
Spike: "What do you think all this means for that Shanshu boogaboo? If we make it through this, does one of us get to be a real boy?"
Angel: "Who are you kiddin'. We're not gonna make it through."
Spike: "Well as long as it's not you."
The series ends as Spike, Angel, Gunn, and Illyria stand alone against the demons and dragons sent by the Senior Partners; the fulfillment of the prophecy remains unresolved. Although Angel is revealed to have become at least partly human during "Angel: After the Fall", this is revealed to have been due to the Senior Partners attempting to deprive Angel of his strength when he needs it most rather than out of any benevolence on the part of the Powers , however, this could be seen as an indirect act of fate, as the prophecy was technically fulfilled..

TESTERS of cornflakes and potato snacks may soon be superseded by a "crunchmeter" that uses fractal geometry to gauge their crispiness.
Developed by food scientists at the Hebrew University in Rehovot, Israel, the device consists of a chamber in which a sample of food or other material is gradually crushed. Microphones pick up the noise produced and generate a graph plotting decibels against time.
The result is a rugged line, made up of spikes and troughs. A computer expresses the wiggly line as a fractal dimension. In fractal geometry, a straight line has a dimension, or "fractal number" of one and a plane a dimension of two. The more wiggly a line is, the more it fills up the plane in which it liesand the closer its dimension is to two.
The crunchier a potato chip is, explains Amos Nussinovitch, leader of the team that created the crunchmeter, the longer ...

Off-road Touring, Beautiful Balkans
View Single Post
Gnarly Adventurer
Joined: Apr 2010
Location: Serbia
Oddometer: 118
Night before departure looked like this
For start of the real trip I had to transfer myself from Novi Sad, Serbia where I live, to Travnik, Bosnia. 400km of paved roads, last 200 are even enjoyable as the road twist trough hilly region. Easy ride, just to get me into mood.
First day
of actual riding was 80km long circle over
mountain. This was first opportunity to test if my navigation method will work in reality. Short day with no luggage.
That zig-zag line you see on the hill is road I'll be taking
Climb to Vlasic is attractive. There is little traffic, hillside is very steep and the views are getting better and better with every turn.
Time to leave pavement... First brake is at
Devecanske stene
, close to the mountain hut. Cliffs are situated at the top of very steep hillside, valley floor is some 1200m below. That's the place where I had my first (and only) climbing experience.
Next stop is at
, peak of
. Until the '90s this was military communication center with underground bunkers and everything. One of those "better don't get close" places. Skies look threatening but I got lucky with only few spots of rain. Good thing as rain gear was safe at home...
Next stretch of the road is first unknown part to me. Line on satellite images and now line on small GPS screen... Start is beautiful, gentle hills covered with grass, nice dirt road. This is how I imagine Mongolian landscape :)
Road quickly deteriorates and soon it looks more like river bed than actual road. One thing I don't like about my bike is its low clearance. To low... I try riding on grass parallel to the road but it's not much better. Hidden rocks and ditches everywhere :) This doesn't look promising. First day and planned route is in much, much worse than anything I hoped for. Funny thing is that this looked like really good and used road on GE, in following days there are many that looked much worse than this. Oh, yeah, one more thing: I don't know if I'll be able to finish this circle or I'll have to ride the same way back.
Luckily for me this bad stretch proves to be rather short. Soon enough I'm back on normal road. Seeing passenger car brings smile to my face because that means the road is easily passable.
One more break before heading back to the base.
I get on the bike, press starter button and nothing happens. Remember that low clearance I talked about? Well, side stand switch is lowest part of the bike, below skid plate. Few well placed rock hits did the trick. I immediately knew what was the problem so out came bikes tool set. Wires disconnected, others connected and we're back in action.
Ride back to the valley is nice, better than I expected.
Back in civilization I decide to take a shortcut. After few hundred meters pavement ends and I come across narrow wooden bridge. Go across or turn around? Straight forward, off course. I stop in middle of the bridge, nice photo opportunity. Strangely whole world moves from side to side. Moment later logic kicks in, it's not the world that is moving, bridge is so unstable... First gear and gaaaaaas
I get back home and five minutes later rain starts. Perfect timing
Few things were obvious from this test run:
-if road looks good on satellite image that doesn't mean it will be good road in reality.
-It takes much, much more time to cover ground than I thought. Planning stage: "pffff, that's short. It's just few centimeters on computer screen. I'll be there in no time at all." In reality: "damn... It's soooo looooong..." I'm talking about distances of few kilometers, not longer.

Scientists at the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography have made the first observation of a predator avoidance behavior by a species of phytoplankton, a microscopic marine plant. Susanne Menden-Deuer, associate professor of oceanography, and doctoral student Elizabeth Harvey made the unexpected observation while studying the interactions between phytoplankton and zooplankton.
Their discovery will be published in the September 28 issue of the journal PLOS ONE.
"It has been well observed that phytoplankton can control their movements in the water and move toward light and nutrients," Menden-Deuer said. "What hasn't been known is that they respond to predators by swimming away from them. We don't know of any other plants that do this.".

Update: Rita Sweet was found at about 7 p.m. walking out of a wooded area on Route 346, about 200 feet over the state line in New York, by state police.

Great quality shirt! This is the second order of the same shirt and design, just changed up the color from black to blue.
The shirts seem to run a bit small, so if you usually buy a large, XL is probably what you really need.

Last month, I stumbled upon a memo addressed to all elementary school principals, strongly advising them not to retain kids in the same grade for a second year — particularly kindergartners, English learners and special education students (unless that is part of their education plan).
"First off, the research is clear; retention does not work," it says.
The memo gives various alternatives, ranging from "culturally sensitive instructional strategies" to before- and after-school interventions and better communication with families. It also said that "all retentions will have to be personally approved by your NExO (the principal's supervisor) in May of 2008."
It has a 2009 date stamp, so maybe it was just distributed again this year as a reminder. You can read it here.
What do you think? Is "social promotion" the way to go if, in fact, retention doesn't work anyway?

Four-season resort overcomes slow-developing natural disaster
A popular recreation spot in North Dakota battles unprecedented rising waters from Devils Lake; gets help from Bobcat skid-steer loader and attachments
For grounds maintenance and construction projects at Woodland Resort, owner Kyle Blanchfield depends on his Bobcat skid-steer loader and attachments.
A family-owned getaway called Woodland Resort in Devils Lake, N.D., has been in a battle with Mother Nature for nearly 20 years. Water levels in Devils Lake have risen nearly every year, up almost 30 feet since the early 1990s, swallowing homes, resorts and farmland along the popular lakeside. The lake�s surface area has quadrupled since the early 1990s to more than 200,000 acres.
Kyle Blanchfield and his wife Karin own and operate Woodland Resort in Devils Lake (population: 7,141) and have utilized a Bobcat� skid-steer loader and attachments to help protect their prized resort, which caters to visitors throughout the year.
�We�re a hunting, fishing and family vacation destination,� Blanchfield says, �and we cater to four different seasons.�
The property was purchased by Blanchfield�s grandfather in the 1940s and eventually Kyle purchased it from his parents in the mid-1990s. From four cabins when it opened in 1988, the campground has grown to include a restaurant, 29 cabins and 180 camp sites, according to Blanchfield. Additionally, the facility has a 96-slip marina and offers boat rentals.
�We offer guided fishing, guided hunting and fish house rentals, and we have a bait-and-tackle shop and store,� Blanchfield says. �We consider ourselves full-service.�
Family battles rising waterBecause of the rising water, the Blanchfield family has had to make significant adjustments and upgrades to its operation and offerings.
�Devils Lake is a closed-basin lake, which means anything that comes to the basin, rain or snow, stays here,� he explains. �It doesn't have a natural outlet until it gets about another four feet higher than it is now. It just compounded itself, significantly since the early 1990s. It�s wiped resorts off the map. We were lucky, in some respects, that we are on higher ground.
�We�ve had to bring in massive quantities of material, probably about 200,000 cubic yards of clay, to maintain ourselves. We had to redevelop part of our campground, move a lot of cabins and there was a lot of dirt work to do, much of it in tight quarters.�
A Bobcat S650 skid-steer loader with auger at Woodland Resort
The tight quarters are where his Bobcat loader has been instrumental in his success. Before there was a Bobcat dealership in Devils Lake, Blanchfield purchased his first Bobcat skid-steer loader in Grand Forks, N.D., in 2002.
�We had to learn to do more ourselves, because when you've got all of this work going on, you can�t always hire it out,� he explains. �When we got the first loader, I thought it was more elaborate than what we needed, but ever since we bought it, I've said this a million times, �I wouldn't own a resort without a Bobcat skid-steer loader,� because we work it hard. It�s a critical piece of equipment for us.
�My biggest regret is that I didn't have one when I first started. We had old equipment and we did so much work by hand. It took us forever and we didn't understand the value of what Bobcat loaders could accomplish until we had one. We started from scratch, there was nothing here but a forest, and we had to clear and develop the property in an old-fashioned way. I�d never go back to that again.�
Improved visibility, comfortToday, Blanchfield owns an M-Series S650 skid-steer loader that he purchased from Bobcat of Devils Lake.
�The cab-forward design of the new loader has improved the visibility a lot, and the machine is very comfortable to operate,� he says. That�s important when he�s working next to cabins or trees, performing grounds maintenance tasks.
�I like the joystick controls, because if I�m in the machine all day, I can relax and let my hands do the work,� he says. �Also, the air conditioning is fantastic and it�s considerably quieter, too.�

YIELD: Makes 8 (first course) servings
ACTIVE TIME: 1 hr
TOTAL TIME: 2 hr
Squeeze 2 lemon halves into a large bowl of cold water.
Cut off top inch of 1 artichoke and bend back outer leaves until they snap off close to base (keep stem attached). Discard several more layers of leaves in same manner until you reach pale yellow leaves.
Cut off remaining leaves 1/2 inch above top of artichoke base using a sharp knife, then pull out purple leaves and scoop out fuzzy choke with a melon-ball cutter. Trim dark green fibrous parts from base and side of artichoke.
Trim a thin slice from stem end, then trim side of stem down to pale green inner core. Rub cut surfaces with lemon halves, then put artichokes in lemon water.
Trim remaining artichokes in same manner.
Combine lemon juice, water (3 cups), oil, 3 tablespoons mint, garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt in a 4-to 5-quarts heavy pot (wide enough to hold artichokes in 1 layer with stems pointing upward) and bring to a simmer.
Stand artichokes, stem ends up, in liquid and cover with a round of parchment paper. Simmer, covered with parchment and lid, until just tender when artichoke bottom is pierced with a knife, 25 to 30 minutes.
Transfer artichokes with a slotted spoon to a shallow serving dish. Boil cooking liquid until reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes. During last 2 minutes of boiling, whisk liquid until it emulsifies. Pour over artichokes and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons mint.
What to drink:
Yarden Galilee
Cabernet Sauvignon '05
Cooks' note: Artichokes can be braised 1 day ahead and chilled in reduced cooking liquid. Serve at room temperature or reheat over low heat until warm.
