Irish Eyes were smiling across downtown Cleveland for a beautiful St. Patrick's Day parade 2009... 67 in the shade! Please enjoy my favorite photos below, and from the annual St. Patrick's Day St. Baldrick's head shaving here...

The Cleveland Public Library (CPL) Collinwood Branch will be holding a two part lecture series focusing on small business ownership. The purpose of the Small Business Lecture Series is to introduce the public to small business resources.

The Series will draw attention to three sources of information that are freely available to city residents: CPL reference and circulating materials, SCORE services, and the experiential knowledge of local business owners. SCORE Cleveland is part of SCORE "Counselors to America's Small Business," a national nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth, and success of the nation's small businesses.

By Mark Danner

43 pp., February 2007

I wrote this post on my blog - on a series of strategies that are all connected together.

If you're into it - go check it out. Its pretty nerdy stuff for this REALNEO crowd and it includes lots of insider issues, politics and dogma.

But hey!  You may enjoy it.

I am posting my link {below} on this forum
instead of just the text because I have added
music and pictures to enhance and be part
of the message, and to give the message
some eye appeal.The link is called,
" The Great Shift " .
I hope you enjoy it - John ...

 It’s good that Tom Haley lived a long life. He expressed the fear that he would not.

From Jim Nichols' article in the Pee Dee this morning. I put the language into pictures, so we could get a real understanding of the scope of the inflated numbers under the Med Con.

You can't hang out at A.J. Rocco's Cafe before St. Patrick's Day without feeling an incling to shave your head. I stopped by, today. I'm shaving my head tomorrow.

Is It Time to Retrain B-Schools?

By KELLEY HOLLAND

My friend Robert Scoble announced a new kind of blog channel this weekend st SXSW - a geek and music conference in Austin, TX.  It's called Bldg 43.

Once a year, during the brief run of the Cleveland International Film Festival, Cleveland feels like one of the great cities of the world. For a little more than a week the grand space of Tower City is filled with life; diverse crowds of art lovers flow in and out, steadily buzzing with excitement for what they are experiencing. Because it only happens once a year, it is easy to overlook The Cleveland International Film Festival as one of Cleveland's greatest assets.
