I dunno what you guys are talking about, but Tuesday wasn't humid at all. It was actually the least humid day this week.
I've heard so many people saying it was humid... makes me think that people don't understand what humidity actually is.
Idiots.
TCF paid the TARP money back. They didn't even want it in the first place but due to pressure from regulators, they were pretty much forced to take it.
Disclaimer: I'm just ripping them for marching to TCF when they should've marched to other financial institutions.
At meetup.com/saintpaulgamegroup or facebook.com/saintpaulgamegroup. Googling Saint Paul Game Group usually brings up the group as well. :D
A safe (insert north side safe joke here) bet would be here: MAP
At some point, I was totally in the same boat as you. I was broke and bored of the same old same old bar scene. Thankfully, I discovered my favorite app ever that has provided me with endless hours of free, adventurous fun!!! I wish I knew about it before. It's a fun activity to do with one or more friends or with kids if you have them.
The app is called 'GeoCaching' and it is like $10 to download. It's expensive for an app but totally fricken' worth it!
Here's a link to explain what it is exactly and it's awesomeness: http://www.geocaching.com/guide/
I'm totally addicted its kind of pathetic.. :)
The 18th is part of the extended weekend, right? Agora Forte is playing Whiskey Junction and there is no cover! They are a pretty fun prog rock group from the Twin Cities. The lead singer is a long time lurker, so I will do my best to promote on his behalf.
Shuang Hur has them but you could also try this place: MAP
Here's a spreadsheet for pizza around town and link to the op.
I don't remember which helpful redditor created it, but there exists a community-maintained spreadsheet of ALL the pizza in the metro area here. Might help you decide based on your preferences.
Get a burger at the Round-Up in Duluth or the Anchor in Superior.
I've done it myself on crappy cars for cheap.
The first time, I had bought a new hood that needed some paint for protective purposes. I sprayed it with a matte black prior to assembling it w/ the car. It did the job, but I left the car outside in the sun and had some small blistering of the paint...so watch out for that.
The second time, I used this method and had surprisingly good results.
I would suggest you do it yourself, if you're looking to not spend much money. It's really not all that difficult.
I'll be there. Doors at 9:00, anyone actually wanting to get in should show up no later than 8:30. It's become incredibly popular since they moved it to the BLB.
You should be able to find something cheap at quite a few different stores. A quick google search lead me to Best Buy (bleh, sorry), but I'll use them as an example:
I dont have much experience fishing the metro. I have a friend who goes carp fishing at the river (dont know the tackle or bait, Im sure you could easily find info online) But from my understanding you just shove your rod in the sand and wait on a nice sandy beach, beer in hand.
Some nice info in here: http://hubpages.com/hub/MinneapolisSt-Paul-fishing-hot-spots http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/young_naturalists/monsters/index.html
Calhoun and Harriet have some monsters. But I think those are best fished from a boat (easily rentable if youre comfortable fishing from a canoe.) "In 1998, a sturgeon weighing 105 pounds washed up dead on the shores of Lake Harriet in Minneapolis." From the dnr article above. P
One thing you can do is to use songkick They will send you fairly regular emails for venues you ask for and also for artists you decide to track. I use it and I quite like it.
My first bit of advice, as far as housing goes, is to check out padmapper. You can filter to your heart's content and it uses Google Maps. Yay Google! Some of my favorite neighborhoods in Minneapolis include, in no particular order: Longfellow, Seward, Whittier, Northeast and Marcy Holmes. All of those are vibrant and entertainment-rich areas. That is, by no means, a comprehensive list, btw.
Anyway. Here is a super handy cost of living site.
As for your weather question, there is no "overall" answer. Winters are normally harsh and snowy. Last winter (2010/11) we had massive blizzards and periods of intense cold (in the negative numbers) all winter long. This winter ('11/12) it was 50 in January and we had barely any snow at all. An almanac would be a more useful guide for specific weather information - you're better off asking for advice on winter gear and where to cool off when it's wicked hot and humid out in the summers (last July it reached something like 117 - not normal, fyi).
Your questions were pretty vague, so if you have more specific questions (like nightlife, local things to do, parking in the city, traffic, restaurants, etc) just ask.
That's why I use sites like 10 minute mail for things like this --you can monitor if they need you to confirm or anything for those 10 minutes (or extend a bit if you need to), but no worries about it following you. Used it for years when I need to temporarily register for something. Some smarter sites will blacklist the various addresses and not allow their use, but this, unsurprisingly, wasn't one of them.
Well, I basically mean that krav isn't designed for competitions, the way most "martial arts" are. As such, there are no rules. Krav Maga is cheating.
It's only a revolution in healthy eating;Check out r/keto It's actually great, but unfortunately Izzy's is once in a rare occasion type indulgence.
This is the Minneapolis website that they update letting you know what's open: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en_US&hl=en_US&key=0AvJ0gaqmEgNxdEQ2MGYyVnhRb3N1TlYyZDZDVndhNVE&output=html
As for st Paul I believe they have 4 refrigerated outdoor rinks. I tried the one over off of Jefferson and it was being used by a kids league and then people were lining up for when they left. Seemed like a cluster fuck. Had good luck at groveland park last week. Had a general and two hockey rinks open. Ice wasn't great but it worked out
Here is my album on FB...I have it private, but this is the "Share with the Public" link so we'll see if it works... https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150402301416535.408041.511506534&l=e0130e0d4e&type=1
I was amazed and PISSED at the amount of Waldos there were. I really thought we were being clever.
Are you sure you can reach Superior from Cascade Park?
Graffiti graveyard! A lot of the normal/touristy things in Duluth are pretty cool, but if you're looking for something that's a little different and off the beaten path, it's well worth checking out.
BTW, in my experience turnout for these things tends to be much better if you post a reminder thread a day or two in advance with all of the final details and a map. If people haven't heard anything about an event for a while they tend to assume it isn't happening.
You need to recount. Mine has 13,000,000 results vs. your ~9,000,000.
-ian or -an suffix indicates 'of somewhere.' Therefore 'Somalian' is a westernized version. You're not a 'Minnesota', are you? No, you're a 'Minnesotan.' You're not an 'Oregon'; You're an 'Oregonian.'

Next time you try to correct someone, have the common courtesy to tell them what you feel is wrong, instead of posting a snide one-word chime in. You are merely nit-picking over convention, which is different everywhere.
The tournaments are Super Smash Bros. Melee, Starcraft 2, Halo: Reach, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Dance Central, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Super Street Fighter 4, Team Fortress 2, and Mario Kart Wii.
Some of those tourneys are bigger than others, so check the links if you want info about prizes and rules.
Edit: here's a list with rules for each game.
Firkin Friday at Grumpy's Northeast
There used to be one here:
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=69619eef-fa23-4177-918d-fcddaaf6cdde
Though that was a year or more ago. There is no Google street view there, so I can't confirm.
EDIT: Scratch that. Looks like it was removed.
I wasn't aware that they would be separate, which would make sense, but it seems to me that if it is a company viewpoint, it has the potential to color all aspects of the business. I just can't see a business being bigoted about one thing and not have that spill over.
That said, I did some research and found that it is, in fact, legal to discriminate against people based on sexual orientation in North Dakota. Its not the best <strong>source</strong>, but I'm at work and am a little limited to how much time I can devote to this.
If you paid for it, then you're purchasing a product. I have, however, already found that it is still legal to discriminate against gays in ND. If they had the same laws MN does, then yes, it would be illegal, because you can't refuse service based on sexual orientation.
Nope, not slavery. Lets move a little forward from that, to segregation. You couldn't tell someone that they couldn't purchase a DVD player because they're black, right? I could come up with tons of examples, but I don't think its necessary.
I'm saying that the newspaper is selling a product. They can't tell you that they won't sell to gays the same way they can't tell you they won't sell to blacks, or muslims, or whatever. Also, in terms of ND, Fargo is not a small town. For the state it's quite the opposite. It is the single largest city ND has, and that makes The Forum (The main Fargo newspaper) not very "small".
That said, I did my due diligence and apparently it IS legal to refuse service to homosexuals in North Dakota, per this site. However, as soon as ND rules that you can't discriminate based on sexuality, I think The Forum would not be able to enforce this policy.
Here's another good recording studio you could use that's local. Snelling and University. They did "The Japhies'" album and they're one of the top local bands this year.

You park in the parking lot at the Bloomington National Wildlife Reserve right by the river just on the south side of 494. You have to walk down there but on the trail it's literally the first bridge on the walking/biking trail there.
Here is it. https://maps.google.com/?ll=44.85495,-93.208804&spn=0.001785,0.002293&t=h&z=19
Thanks for the information on the other cons, I've put them on the calendar. Minneapolis Comic Con ended having some great cosplay which was perfect for testing out my new mirrorless: Minneapolis Comic Con 2014 on FlickR
Negative, an acquaintance/low-level friend from the dorms, Mike (I commented on her fb post about you). You and I met at Welch Ave once; surely you remember :p
The neighborhood's fine during the day (Sunrise-sunset, though I personally would be okay walking down Lake until 9, 9:30 PM.) If you're a guy, you won't get catcalled.
looks like this might be the spot.

If you show up, show up early — they've been routinely filling the BLB theater to firecode capacity. Admission is free, but tip your servers well.
Here's a Best Buy link.
I believe it's just them and the Twins shops who will be carrying it.
If anyone's interested, I just uploaded a new version of my Android app which can alert you when the Aurora are likely to be seen where you are: Aurora Buddy Pro.
We have a Calendar already.
Not sure why it's no longer linked on the sidebar though.
This is the area we found yesterday.
It has a few picnic tables, no built in grills but we can bring those, right next to a better wading pool - right in the creek, pretty close to parking up the hill, and it's FREE - but 1st come 1st serve - so we'll have to grab the area asap in the morning.
>What kind of libertarian/anarcho-capitalist would I be if I did that?
This kind. Sorry, but it was just too damn easy, and hilarious.
Way cool! When you have some stuff done send me a link.
Basically Im just really into the TC metal scene. I am not in a band, but I do screw around with music in my spare time. I'm currently working, slowly, on an album. School just started back up again, so its put on the backburner until winterbreak again. Here's some of my stuff. http://www.reverbnation.com/ann13m41 or free downloads on soundcloud.
Here's another one that uses white American instead. Worth a try if the Jack recipe doesn't work out. American is made for melting where I've had to use a Bechamel or something like that to get Jack to melt right.
Try throwing it in the oven.
No, I'm serious, my 9800 GTX (Basically the same card as the 250, same chipset and everything) stopped working last month and I did the oven trick, work's 100% now!
