No Bar La Grasa, 112 Eatery, Butcher and the Boar, Cafe & Bar Lurcat, HauteDish, or D'Amico and Sons?The Capital Grille is the cock of the walk. Eighth and Hennepin. O'Donavan's is an Irish joint right across the street. Big. Good chow.
McKenzie's is a fine hole in the wall on Hennepin and Ninth. Right next to the Orpheum Theater.
The Loon on 5th and 1st Avenue North has great chili and other things.
Of course, not far away is the holy trio of Murray's Steakhouse, Lyon's Pub, and Ike's. Go to Ike's for morning brunch.
Best yet, of course, go to St. Paul and the Hoggsbreath for brunch there . . . .
These are just a few of your options, but probably some of your best options.

Here is a bar/restaurant that sadly gets overlooked a lot. Nice place with good food and drinks and has been there for a long time. http://elisfoodandcocktails.com/

And then roll over and show their gonads to the NCAA like UND fans did? So you don't respect your fellow UND fans or yourself?The Clown is going to kill the Redhawks. Not even going to be close.
Besides, who can respect a team that didn't have the gonads to stand up to the NCAA and keep their Indian nickname come hell or high water?
Let's just hope that The Clown does not prove to be the feared NCHC's only entry in The Dance.
Time for the boys to take their nuts out of the jar on the shelf and screw them on tight for a run to Philly and The Crown.

That would make a ton of sense. Couple game try out and then a new contract. No matter what it is nice to see him working his way up. A lot of goalies have taken some weird routes to the NHL.They re-signed him on March 8. So, they must have liked what they had seen from his first two debuts. But, he did get released after those first two games. Maybe it was the way his first contract was written that resulted in the cut>re-sign.

Dell is still on their roster. Played 4 games so far.Well his terrible .929 save percentage and 1.39 GAA in two appearances clearly weren't up to par with the Heat.
Sarcasm.

If you and the wife have never seen this enjoy.My wife and I have been together for about 4 and a half yrs and Trupp is her favorite by a land slide. I always tried to explain how amazing that play was but I could never find a replay. He was always working hard to make a play. Great guy too. I've gotten him to sign pucks for my wife and had him tweet her a birthday wish.

Depends on if you have a woman riding with you. A guy by himself can do it in a little over 4 hours or so. With a woman figure at least 5 hours.Is summit tourney some today. How long does it take to get to gf from sf

Seems to me the second period historically has been the worse. Not that it was so much a minus as they have never scored a lot of goals in second.
-
I guess there could be a first for everything.This is not the most talented team we've had by any stretch. If we are to do any damage it will be due to an amazing team effort. Dave needs to channel his inner Herbie for the playoff run.
Western Michigan is not a "junk" team- they have an NHL coach and have been to the dance- they've done well in the second half, and to split isn't the end of the world- in fact, it might be a great wake-up call.
This isn't a world beater Sioux team with oodles of talent like the Parise team or the DOT team or the Pony Express team. We had 3, maybe 4 teams in those years that were elite talent- top 2 in the country on talent alone- but didn't get it done.

I doubt you are alone with that. I do know who the Foo Fighters are though, but not the song. I do know this song.Thanks for making me feel as old as my dad - I'm only familiar with the Def Leppard song, LOL!

Source your argument.You do make some very good points and some others I don't agree with but this isn't the place to really hash those out. But to ignorantly come here and paint with a broad brush that the "poor" pay a higher % of their income in taxes vs. the "rich" in this country is not factual in any way shape or form. One can cherry pick a state or use examples of sales tax, but the bottom line is one can not spin it to make the higher % of income paid in total taxes argument work for this country's population as a whole.

http://www.ballpeoples.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/hctrendsandsolutions1.pdfI'll set the under/over at 3 weeks before your stupid a** is tossed again. You aren't fooling anyone. You are a total JA under any moniker.

Hey Oxbow where was your anger then?
-
That is what makes the B so special.North Star beat Beulah in the last game at the buzzer.
3 of the 4 games decided by 2 points and one went to OT.

Source your argument and I will source mine. You made this a political argument with your first post in this thread.That argument that a higher % of total income is paid out in taxes by lower income households is BS. "Leftie propaganda"...right smokey??
I will say this again...the lower 20% of household incomes in this country pay roughly 16% of their overall income/dollars earned in federal, state and local taxes. This 20% is also in the bucket that pays a NEGATIVE 9% of the total income tax in this country. You understand the negative part??
Common sense for most people would have been to change their rhetoric and ramble when trying to reenter a message/opinion board and website under a different moniker... especially after getting the boot multiple times!! If you want to get tossed again from this site...I'll dance with you.

Bigger picture for you. Do you find it fair someone struggling on 25K a year has to pay 9.5% sales tax on food in Tennessee so that someone making 200K a year does not have to pay any state income tax? Do you find it fair that in almost every red state in the country the lower you go on the income scale the higher percentage of their income goes to taxes than those at the top? Even to the tune of up to five times as much of a percentage? The argument of not paying income tax, such as Oxbow uses, only is to mask the fact that lower income people pay more of their income in taxes than the top. Sadder thing almost is how so many of these people will defend the ones that are giving it to them without a kiss first.This is an issue that irks me every year about this time. It has bothered me less since I've started just discarding the annual student loan interest statement. Just put my head down and keep on paying. It essentially is a way to bump up the rate of taxation on certain higher paid individuals, and that's the part that doesn't feel equitable.
I would propose a system by which student loan interest paid is compared to income earned, to account for what you said: my higher income required higher dollars of student loans.
The deduction starts to get phased out for single people at modified adjusted gross income of $60,000 and goes to zero at $75,000. $125,000 and $155,000 are the numbers for married filing jointly.
So you and your buddy go to get MBA's together. You both get federal loans, because the government feels that you advancing your education is worthy of their investment. You both graduate. You are the one who chooses to work hard and gets promoted, making a handsome salary. You're doing the work your loans and your education gave you the means to do. Your buddy says to hell with it, he wants to go do something else that he finds personally fulfilling, but it also happens to be something that doesn't require an MBA, and his income is below the phase-out threshold. So now the government lets him effectively pay back less of his student loans. Fair?
See what you guys made me do? I was starting to live in blissful neglect of this little thing that pops up every year, and I truly haven't opened my interest statement this year.
Next you'll have me starting my rant on how Medicaid is a form of a tax on people who accept it as payment, because it is government paying about 2/3 of what the going rate is for a service. Can a person go to the grocery store and buy commodities that are a basic need (like healthcare is) and pick up $100 worth of groceries for $65 in food stamps? No? Shocking. I used to be very judgmental towards docs who refused to see any Medicaid patients. Now I realize that they are more comfortable with "medicine as a business" than I am.

Why is that not fair? It puts them on equal footing with the public schools.This is not fair. Lots of kids get some sort of assistance... And now you want to tell their family that "you can come here... But if you can't pay that last grand on your own.... Jimmy can't play sports."
North Dakota private schools recruit a lot less than people think.

Better story than that about Edina. In 1990 during the sectionals Edina was playing Richfield. Maybe 1991 pretty sure `90 though. This was when the Hendrickson brothers and Steege played for Richfield. Richfield was the better team and when the scored the Richfield kids threw tennis balls at the Edina goalie. Why would they throw tennis balls at the goalie? Edina had Jenny Hanley (sp?) playing nets. With Edina winning the girls tennis every year they were saying she was playing the wrong sport.Edina up 4-0 after 1. Stillwater already seems resigned to the if we can't beat you we will beat you up theory. Edina student section with one of the better chants so far this tournament with the "Where's your boys team?" chant to Stillwater.

What happens to guys like Rowe who don't seem to be panning out from what I see here? Does he still come or do they say sorry?
-
From where you found this is there a list of players available? I can remember watching this as a kid.Fort Yates made the A tourney in '69, '70, '71, and '73.
-
So we are all in contention that the B belongs in either Minot or Bismarck.
-
If it had not been for some parents suing it would still be at the Ridder.True 'dat! It's absolutely absurd that the girls are wasting their time in front of 500-2,000 fans in the Xcel Energy Center. Common sense would tell you that that tournament would have more success and be a lot more "alive" in a smaller venue.
But, good old Minnesota..."well if the boys have it there, the girls have to have it there too..."
-
Are you saying they do not? By not allowing tuition/scholarship money it would make the field more level. I also do not think you should be able to transfer to play in public schools unless your family actually moves into the schools boundaries.The private schools recruit excuse. Lame
-
Yzerman made a statement about government spending and I just said what they had done.Hmnnn...now where have I heard "Reagan" and "Bush" references before...?

Not holding it against the industry.That is an unethical, illegal action by a set of individuals. Shouldn't be held against the industry.
