They were arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary and taken to MetroHealth Medical Center and were treated for their injuries.Police said the homeowner was inside when he heard his burglar alarm go off. The man retrieved his handgun and began to check around his property.

There is no question that Christmas is rooted in ancient pagan traditions and Jesus Christ was not born on December 25th. Historically, Christmas was not observed until the 5th century when the Western church ordered the feast to be celebrated on the day of the Mithraic rites of the birth of the sun and at the close of the Saturnalia. There was no actual definitive day known to the church, when Jesus Christ was born.

In Cleveland, Ohio, there are blocks of apartments (like the one in the image above) which don't have any lights on inside at 8:00pm.   I wonder what the 2010 census could tell us....

Are the tenants just all behind in their Cleveland Illuminating bills? or are these apartment blocks just empty?

Possitively Cleveland!

I was staying with friends when I heard about this tragedy, and I immediately got a splitting migrane.   

I couldn't imagine the intensity of grief the parents and family were enduring. 

At at time like this you would want to crawl into a hole and drown in your depression...

So the Jewish culture over centuries has developed an antidote - about as good as it can be - sitting Shiva.

I had never heard about this industrial re-use project until a relative gave me a heads up and gave me a slide show (image above credit CEB)

The rail road right of way is on a viaduct - built decades ago - above street level and in numerous places went through the commercial warehouses and industrial buildings which the rail line served.  

Mortgage Fraud--two of the largest players were indicted yesterday and the story was relegated to a back page and players get a slap on the wrist:

"The magnitude of this crime is hard to fathom," Mason said. "A total of 453 homes, 358 of which fell into disclosure, were part of a master scheme to bilk the banking and real estate industries out of funds."

Ward 14 is victimized again...According to Channel 19 news..."It happened Tuesday just before 6:30 p.m. Police were called to respond to the Caribe Bake Shop on Fulton Road for a robbery in progress. When they arrived they found the female victim with a gunshot wound to the head." Read the full story at the link below. 

 

The above process of stopping hemorrhage and dressing a wound will also work for traumatic injuries such as knife wounds and gunshot wounds.

So many times, I have opened this window to attempt to write a hearty blog recently and never gotten past the first thought....My heart seems so heavy and at a loss for words. Tragedy has hit below the belt this time and I simply cannot pretend that it's all okay. It's not. I see the headlines, but they don't process. I try to read some of the news, but it just drains me. I try to find the heart to fight the battles, but cannot find the gump. I try to find the motivation to react to the list of things to do...but find myself depleted before I begin.

It's halfway through the school year, and despite major setbacks, Valerie Salstrom is again grooming the young people in our neighborhood into sophisticated adults.

Growing up, of movies that stuck in my conscience, besides Planet of the Apes and Omega Man, Logan's Run stood out.  Lately, I am revisiting the message of that sci-fi movie as I see worthy and intelligent "senior" members of our community...discarded by the workforce. 

Why do we insist on decommissioning the most experienced and valuable members of our society? 

Recently I lent a hand at removing some dead limbs from a white ash tree.   The trunk on the tree is in the 48 inch diameter range - and when I counted growth rings in the 20 inch diameter limb which was removed - the limb had been up in the sky defying gravity for 125+ years!   

Pretty amazing. 

Ever felt like this?  Just too much going on?   

Sam, the cat, is 15 and rarely takes a break - but I caught him on camera at a slow moment between meetings!
