The Deaths Return to Centralia

Disabled, Elderly Prevented from Voting

The voting site has been moved out of the Lashkowitz High Rise, in downtown Fargo, with a population of almost 300 people. Once again the poor, elderly, disabled and the handicapped have to be forgotten about in order to save a little money. Most of the people at the high rise do not have cars. To move the voting site to the Civic Center is not a long way for most people; however, for the elderly, disabled and handicapped, it could just as well be 100 miles.

Don’t Be An Idiot, See The Hives

Formed by singer Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist and brother Nicholaus Arson, on guitar, The Hives were initially the least talked about of the garage rock revival, but they proved to be the best singles band out of that whole scene. Their second disc, Veni Vidi Vicious, generated the still-great single, Hate to Say I Told You So, as well as Main Offender.
“In the beginning,” said Pelle, “we had to survive all the times of hating each other and beating each other up because there was no one else to play with in our shitty hometown.”

“Redbelt” for Fans of Literate, Elliptical Mystery

Interestingly all four films I watched over the weekend, although drastically different in genres and styles, had the same theme of one character struggling to maintain self-honor by doing what was best for others, instead of thinking only of him or herself.

A Serious Chocolate Fix

OK, I am absolutely one of those people that never makes it to dessert when I eat out--I am always too full. One thing that is always popping up is something with chocolate on it, in it, or completely covered with it. So I thought I should try and find some fun chocolate dessert that I can make and have waiting for me at home after I go out. If you always opt for the chocolate-covered thin mints when your local Girl Scout comes calling, this dessert is for you.

Every Little Thing Is Gonna Be Alright

Q: I’ve gained 10 pounds recently, and it sounds like a joke, but others have said the same thing. I sometimes have trouble sleeping, and have lost my appetite. Do you think I should get checked out by a doctor?

Grand Theft Auto 4: Seventh Installment

Fans of Grand theft Auto may be surprised and amazed at the gameplay changes. GTA4 makes everything relevant, and I mean everything. No more just hopping into parked cars. If the car is locked, you first have to smash out the window and (if need be) hotwire your new ride. This game is awesome. It’s going to be hard to beat for game of the year.
