Billy Joel’s ‘We Didn’t Start The Fire': A Historical Journey Through Cultural References
I've been going through a Billy Joel phase, and subjecting my family to many of his greatest hits. While I seem to still be the only person who enjoys "I Go to Extremes," my daughter was taken by "We Didn't Start the Fire." She is a bit of a history nerd, like her dad, and she loves lists, like her dad. So that song is right up her alley.
Bismarck Peeping Tom’s Judgment Day
Last year Bismarck was jolted by a vivid, real Facebook post. I remember like it was yesterday when I first saw a post from a shocked and frightened young woman here in Bismarck last year. An incident happened at a local fitness center, inside a private tanning room - a woman found a recording device inside a speaker. That same afternoon a suspect was fired from his job after admitting what he did through a text message to his boss. 46-year-old Layton Kessler was charged with four counts of surreptitious intrusion - misdemeanors. His bail was set at $3,000.

In ND – Is It Illegal To Throw Away These 10 Items? ( GALLERY )
First of all, I'm not talking about the city dump here, YOUR apartment trash or household trash cans. I have to admit while going through this list of illegal items to throw away in the trash, most of them made sense. However, I think most of us are used to seeing a couple of car tires bopping at the top of a huge trash dumpster. According to komando.com these items that are mentioned are explained as to WHY they are deemed illegal, and in some States, they are not. I'm also quite sure that people will continue to throw away things right and left without knowing OR caring if it could be dangerous to others and the environment. See for yourself if you are guilty of tossing any of these into the trash.
