sedlaceks.


Fargo has the 'Taco Shop', since 1961, with two locations in Fargo. It had a speedy drive through or you can dine in. I am now 150 miles from there and when ever we are planning a trip to Fargo my first stop, when I get there, is the Taco Shop drive through for 3 breakfast burritos (1 for spouse, 2 for me, extra salsa please) regardless of the time of day.


Valley City has the Pizza Corner, you can get pizza fresh there or their pizza is sold frozen in bars and stores in areas of North Dakota I have been.


Thanks for asking!

You will for sure have to try the nifla soup!!  (Germans from Russia make it)Wonderful stuff, just hope I spelled it right, maybe it is knifla soup.  Do not go near the Lutefisk that the Norweigans eat, a lot like it but I am not big on raw fish soaked in lye!  Good luck with your paper! Reply...

Mike - Forget Jack A who is a Littl RushNut in training. Apart from the medicine show that we will be having in the Dome this Friday, I do have a small issue to comment on. Downtown Fargo is becoming a place for pedestrians and bikers to shop and spend time. For a food or retail business it definitely has potential. Downtown Broadway has a problem with dog owners who are not picking up their dog's feces on the sidewalk. This AM a pile of it was walked on and spread on up the walk. There are just too many people downtown on the weekdays for this to occur.   Reply...

Anyone remember this thread?

http://www.nodakoutdoors.com/forums/view...hp?t=40541

I ended up having to fight the HSUS in publications all over the country b/c they claimed I was wrong on what their stance on hunting was. Gotta love exposed hypocrisy. And I ended up getting bombarded with hatemail over the whole ordeal for being wrong.  Sorry, this one feels good to see as a press release.

Letter Exposes Animal Rights Agenda of HSUS to Feds

(Columbus, OH) - The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) has demanded that a USDA
website correctly identify the world’s largest anti-hunting organization as an
animal rights lobbying organization.

The USSA sent a letter to the USDA explaining that the Humane Society of the United
States’ “primary purpose is to advocate for sensible public policies” and not
provide direct services to shelter, rescue or provide any direct services for
animals in need. The USDA website inaccurately portrays it as a “shelter, rescue
and welfare organization”.

HSUS supports an active lobbying campaign and actively lobbies against hunting.
According to the Senate Office of Public Records, HSUS has spent up to $80,000 in a
6-month period on lobbying activities.

Despite its name, it is not in business to operate animal shelters or rescue
facilities.

The USDA listings under “Shelters, Rescue and Welfare Organizations” are designed to
be a resource for pet owners.

According to the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance, any reference to the Humane Society of
the United States (HSUS) as an animal welfare group, as opposed to correctly
designating it an animal rights lobbying organization, gives undeserved credibility
to the organization.

“We sent this letter to the department because it is well past the time for the
public to be made aware of what the HSUS is all about and that isn’t going to happen
if it keeps getting credit it doesn’t deserve,” said Rick Story, senior vice
president of the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA). “The letter succinctly points
out that the HSUS falls under the heading of animal rights lobbying group and why it
should be referred to as such. The HSUS has a full animal rights agenda and wants
to end all ownership and use of animals, no matter how responsible.”

This letter is a first step in the campaign announced last week by the USSA that
will educate the media, elected officials, the public, sportsmen and the many others
targeted by the animal rights group on the hidden, non-mainstream agendas of the
HSUS.

As part of this campaign, the USSA has initiated the Sportsmen Against HSUS fund,
which will be used in the continuing battle against the HSUS and its animal rights
campaign. In addition to educating people on the group’s hidden agendas, it will
fund campaigns combating the public policy threats initiated and supported by the
HSUS.

Sportsmen immediately began showing their support for this campaign to expose the
HSUS upon hearing of the fund’s launch.

Some recent legislative attacks on sportsmen’s rights by the HSUS include:
- the launching of a campaign to address “puppy mills,” abusive, large-scale,
commercial dog breeding operations. However, the deceptive language of the
HSUS-backed measures also devastates small hobby breeders, dog show kennels and
sporting dog enthusiasts.
- a mandatory spay and neuter bill in California. The measure requires all dogs to
be spayed or neutered by the age of six months, making it nearly impossible for
sportsmen with mixed-breed sporting dogs to remain in the field.
- opposition to bills from across the country that are intended to lessen barriers
for youth and newcomers to take part in hunting.

“It is more important than ever that all sportsmen unite to combat the principal
enemy of American conservation and the outdoor sports that make conservation
possible,” Story said. End of Quote

Hello again Jack,


Ethanol does produce more energy than it usess to produce unless you add in the energy cost for making the tractors and all equipment associated with agriculture, and delivering that equipment.   Again the current production of ethanol is helping to extend our non-renewable oil sources and helping to avoid even more dependence on foreign oil where 60% is currently imported.


When you consider the total cost for oil, perhaps we should include all the costs for the US to protect the oil supply in the Middle East and other parts of the world that do not have our best interest at heart?   This is General Chuck Walds concern as well as former CIA Chief James Woolsey. 


I agree with the legislators that want to encourage another refinery in ND to help avoid the high costs of shipping crude out of ND then shipping gas and diesel back in again after it's refined in other states.  We'll need to conserve and make the best use of all our energy resources, non renewable and renewable. 


Merging non renewable energy with more clean, home grown, terror free, renewable energy extends those non-renewables, it helps make our fossil energy more marketable as our energy customers in other states want a higher mix of renewables, it also helps them burn cleaner, and it's good for national security by reducing our dependence on foreign oil. 


Our ND utilities understand this, that's why they're investing millions in wind and biomass energy projects.  Making better use of our resources,  and diversifying our energy sources and products is good for business and good for North Dakota.


Here's a segment of an article from Great River Energy on the subject:  http://www.connexusenergy.com/GRERenewables%20position%20statement.pdf



Our Commitment to Environmental Leadership



Great River Energy values its reputation as an environmental leader among utilities. We


have made a strategic commitment to environmental stewardship. We are determined to


act on the evidence that climate change is real by pursuing initiatives that support a


sustainable environment. This commitment is based on our core operating principle to


make the right environmental choices within our technological and financial capabilities.



Our Position on Renewable Energy



Great River Energy is convinced that pursuing renewable energy is the right thing to do,


so we have committed ourselves to deriving 25 percent of our electric energy from


renewable sources by the year 2025. By making use of renewable energy tax credits, we


can reduce environmental emissions and still keep our energy product competitively


priced and affordable for our customers. In addition to our renewable initiatives, we will


continue existing programs to prevent pollution, recycle and minimize waste, and


employ new, environmentally sound technologies.



Our Wind Energy Initiatives



About 4 percent of Great River Energy’s total energy production comes from renewable


wind energy. We are on course to meet the state’s proposed 25 percent renewable


energy standard by 2025. Here are some of the specific wind energy initiatives we’re


pursuing:



􀂃 The Trimont Area Wind Farm produces up to 100 megawatts of clean, renewable

energy. Great River Energy partnered with 43 landowners in the area and PPM


Energy, a Portland-based company, to develop the wind farm, which consists of 67


wind turbines producing enough electricity to serve the annual energy needs of


nearly 29,000 Minnesota homes.

You know, Mike, the push for ethanol started long before the rise in oil prices.  Why?  It had nothing to do with anticipated high prices, anticipated shortages, or giving us "choices".  What was that reason?  It WAS all about giving the farmers another market for their products. 


What sense does it make to "grow " a fuel when it takes essentially as much petroleum energy to grow and produce as energy derived from the end product?  Oh, I forgot, it puts money in your pocket instead of the Saudis (has to be the definition of "home grown fuel").

Mike, there you go with your propaganda again.  You keep saying we need "choices".  The consumer does not have a "choice"  because you, your cronies, and liberal Republicans like your idol Pawlenty ( one of your top ethanol mafia enforcers) MANDATE we use it.  It's great the media is uncovering this biofuel scam.


How many tens of thousands of acres did you help cut down today, Mike?  Just so you can make a buck on this scam.


Read what a scandal this ethanol is:

Good to hear from you again Jack! 


Now gas is averaging $3.73 across the nation and oil hit an all time high of $126 a barrel where 60% of it comes from foreign countries.  The oil cartels and multinational corporations don't seem to be "competing" too well, but it's keeping the shieks happy.  


With more development and improvements in technology, people will have more fuel choices to use more home grown, terror free, alternative fuels.  


Here's an article from MSN NBC today:  Many analysts have predicted prices will surge much higher, and may breach the psychologically important $4 level on a national basis within the next couple of months. Prices are already that high in many parts of the country.


Some analysts are beginning to question whether gas prices will follow their typical pattern of peaking around Memorial Day, then declining through the summer.


“Retail prices aren’t going to decline as long as any part of the energy complex is heading higher,” Ritterbusch said.


Retail diesel prices rose 2.9 cents Tuesday to a national average of $4.39 a gallon, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. The high price of diesel has helped drive up costs for goods and services throughout the economy.
