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!

The mainstream media has said absolutely nothing about this development, continuing its pattern of downplaying news involving Fukushima, radiation or the flawed structure of nuclear power plants. This is hardly surprising, given that many of the largest media outlets (such as NBC and MSNBC) are owned by corporations such as General Electric, the designer of many of the world's nuclear power plants.

 All around Cleveland - in the local golf course, in the corner of the field - screened and painted green, there are sprouting gas wells.  Fracked wells.

And those fracked wells, full of all types of crazy chems - those chems will not migrate into the local water table.  

No. 

No migration. 

I believe that. 

We all can tell that something has gone off the rails in American - and in our entire western culture.  

Capitalism has a flaw.  Or 2.

So last Saturday, when I was listening to some on-the-fly progressive radio station - I heard a podcast lecture given by Richard Grossman.  A lecture describing why corporations were causing havoc - and why corporations under the US Constitution were not "people".  

Take a look at your local chain grocer or your local big box store - you will find pallets stacked with bags of firewood from Eastern Europe.  

Is collecting firewood work Americans will not do?

Bizarre.

This sack (volume 1.36 cubic feet) of white birch sells for $13.99.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has used lies to attack the record of Sherrod Brown according to a recent edition of the Plain Dealer's Politifacts.

Sherrod must be good at what he does by the way he draws vicious attacks centered around lies from the right. These are especially from U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown's nemesis de jour, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, current Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel.

PROPOSED AMENDED BY- LAWS by GUY TEMPLETON BLACK
Please vote for my-your  amended by-laws

1.  New proposal:
At least 7 of the 15 elected board of trustees shall be composed of the general membership that meet the following guidelines:
1)    Low Income Members of TWDC
a)    Members of TWDC that meet minority status.
b)    Disabled/Handicapped members of the TWDC.

From the website:

 Sanitation, extension cords, fire hazards is what all the Mayor's intone. 

But those "reasons" don't ring true.

While in many cultures conflict means killing, with Occupy we have peaceful protest, and yet the "authorities" can't resist shutting that peaceful protest off. 

What a huge mistake. 

Occupy Boston faces sanitation tonight at midnight.   (dark, few onlookers, OT for the Force) 

That's American Sanitation!

Jon Corzine's a smart guy - been a United States senator, been the head of Goldman Sachs, been the Govn'er of New Jersey.....

But now Jon  doesn't know where 1.2 billion dollars is - money that was involved in "betting" on European government debt - could be "operational errors" at MF Global,  the hedge fund Jon piloted,  Jon notes.
