Don't get caught up by brands; just add milk to a cheap brand salad dressing, mix it to white sauce consistency, then add lots of black pepper. I like white pepper as well (a long time ago someone that worked there said they also added white pepper), but some more recent workers said just black pepper. You'll get close enough it won't make a difference. The hardest to find match is the buns, apparently sold at times in Hugo's, but I haven't found similar buns anywhere away from GF.

Wasn't expecting the Finns to look that good after two losses. They were really good in that game, and could beat Sweden as well.

Yep, I think Petterson is out for the championship for sure. Not sure what Russian might be out but I don't think Mironav (who Petterson punched in the nose) should be. The Russian that looked like he threw a nasty cfb hit as the Swede went to the boards with the puck in the last 5 seconds should get one as well, as he started the melee.

Maybe he should just change his shorts.

Appears the boys didn't let a hockey game interfere with a nice vacation to BC.

That may have been me bringing good luck, however

You actually want to join "bad luck" mafia in cheering for the US, or are you going to cheer for Russia/Canada, so that they will automatically lose?

There are natural and safe levels of all elements I listed on the surface. Shale, however, has dangerously high concentrations of these elements present in the drilling "mud" cuttings in reserve pits. What is being done with the pit mud should be of concern to everyone. Your "high" is much different than my "high" from the shale. I'm tired of the state burying the results of their testings and making them disappear. What was begun as a multiple year testing of ground an surface waters, expanding each year, was done for just one winter. When the dangerous levels were found, testing was promptly terminated and the results have been buried, or possibly deleted. Why do you think the state in the last year added to regulations eliminating reserve pits from drilling operations. Especially if these wonderful high level contaminants are so good for us. I don't think that a "some is good, more is better" argument can be made for selenium.

Lucia and his players will get a bit more rest before the second half of the college season. I couldn't help but think how, when those blatant cfb's were not called on Russia, how Lucia teams are used to getting away with stuff while opponents are paraded to the penalty box. He may now know how it feels.

Never in the medal round, did beat them on Christmas day at theralph (ovechkin and malkin both on that team), but lost to them in the medal round.

That sucked; no more wjc for the US, makes it much less interesting.

That was posted tongue in cheek, dude. I have no idea to what extent contaminated soil and water might make its way into crops and food. The rest of it is fact, and accurate. If you don't mind taking the chance of living with that contamination, good luck. You realize your posts are on the "internet" as well.

Don't believe the state has made this information disappear, but tests near Lignite show elevated levels of oil contaminants in both the ground and surface waters. These contaminants come specifically from shale cuttings, which end up as the "mud" in reserve pits. The contaminants are elements normally present in just trace amount on the surface and in ground water, but alarmingly high in reserve pit mud. Those include selenium, cadmium, barium, beryllium, and arsenic. The tests were done in an area with lots of earlier oil exploration in the Madison shale, have not seen anything done with the Bakken shale, but the change in going away from pits to closed loop drilling is probably indicative that the state knows the contamination the exploration has/was creating. When reserve pits were recently "reclaimed", the "mud" was hauled form the pits up slope to the high points and buried near the surface. What a perfect place to continue contaminating the area. Since this is a top durum producing area, I'd suggest staying away from pasta produced from crops here. I won't even get into salt contamination that has occurred over large areas from the oil development out here, as bad as it is, it's minor compared to the "unknown" poisons/carcinogen contamination. As far as pipelines are concerned, a huge network of pipelines were put in place in the 60's and 70', flow lines from wells to treaters, saltwater lines from treaters to injection wells, gas lines to gas plants, and oil lines to major oil pipelines. It took nearly 50 years for those lines to start leaking as so many have recently, yet new pipelines have been breaking and leaking within 5 years of construction. We just refuse to slow down and do things safely when there is so much money to be made.

Viewing options for Sioux hockey games this season

The quality of road game webcast is only as good as what the home venue sends. Often not HD and usually poor quality thus far. -
Viewing options for Sioux hockey games this season
sprig replied to fightingsiouxfan86's topic in Men's Hockey
I believe the UNDInsider webcast will be up for renewal next year. I've placed my vote to dump neulion and go to america one. Stream works better, the flash player on america one functions better, and no more putting up with third party neulion support, who never answer a question correctly. None of this has anything to do with the exhibition streams. -
No byes this year, different format.

10:30AM Central in the Dish guide.

It was actually a bit more direct than that. Before his first WJC, it was said by the Canadian hierarchy, if you choose college over major junior, you may not be making the Canadian team. They tried to use it as leverage to get him to major junior. Appears they were not crazy enough to go through with the threat when he chose the Sioux.

Need to have an FCS playoff for second place. No one can touch the Bison (although I haven't seen Towson, or have any idea what the do well).

Fading Memory...or North Dakota Media Guide Incorrect?
sprig replied to MafiaMan's topic in Men's Hockey
I did not, knew Jim Cruise, Steve Gasparini, Al Hangsleben, Rick Clubbe, Earl Anderson, Dennis Johnson and Roger Lameroux from the dorm (Walsh). Not many others. AF parkas hiding the booze in the old barn, brutally cold in there, I guess, but we weren't feeling much pain, Got drenched with beer some girls in front of us through up into the air when the Sioux won. It was a cold walk back to Walsh. Was gone from UND when Gino was hired as head coach (living in south Texas, had no idea what was going on with Sioux hockey). Didn't know the locals wanted someone else hired as HC. -

Bjorkman and Sacred Heart two posts apart. Time for Wilbur to get things straightened out. -

Jim Cahoon. I helped move broadcast equipment into the arena just before it opened, with a friend who was in broadcasting. Did not remember Gino being an assistant to Bjorkman. Guess it's not always a bad idea to replace a coach with an assistant. -
Absolutely deserves top 5, known to those of us at UND at the time as "Magic", lit up the Gophers in Minneapolis, although the Sioux lost 40+ to 30+. The Gophers were better then than now. The most requested song by the Johnny Holmes band at Frenchy's, "Do You Believe in Magic"

This system of hiring sounds very much like federal govt hiring, and there is no common sense to the process. Everyone who can make the best qualified list must get interviewed. Those who apply for federal jobs have learned to game the system. so that they make that list. They must respond to a series of questions related to knowledge, skills, and abilities specific to the job. If you don't check "expert" for each one of those questions, you don't make the list. Doesn't matter if you know nothing about the skill, the selector must sort that out by looking at the applications and doing the interview to eliminate those they believe lied in the application. It is a ridiculous, time consuming selection process. But that is how the "point system" gets used by HR, they are merely a go between.
