Cleveland Cavaliers

There is something powerful in the common struggle of believers, that in the face of being neglected and getting so close just to fail, time and again, there is an unbreakable bond of shared history. That the more Cleveland is dismissed, the stronger our commitment gets, the more Cleveland gear we buy, the more games we go to, and the surer we become that this is the year. There grows this ridiculous, unfounded confidence in a team that has little history of success. Hope against all odds.…

The Museum of Contemporary Art is a contemporary art museum in Cleveland Ohio on Euclid Avenue. It was founded in 1968 by Nina Castelli Sundell and Marjorie Talalay, who started the small for-profit gallery in a former dry-cleaning store on Euclid Ave. The gallery has moved several times since then, before finally finding its way back to a location near its original one on Euclid Ave in 2012. The new building is a thirty four thousand square foot, four story tall building made of black stainless…

John D. Rockefeller is the poster child for the American dream. He worked himself from the bottom of the monetary food chain to the top. Rockefeller believed in hard and honest work and hated when anything went to waste. This is why when he saw oil being drilled and wasted through inefficiency, he saw an opportunity. Rockefeller then started his own company and the rest is history. He became one of the first multimillionaires in the United States of America through his business and talent.…

The Cleveland Browns have been searching for a quarterback for what seems like forever. The Browns have won double-digit games just once since returning to the NFL in 1999, as Derek Anderson went 10-5 as Cleveland’s starter in 2007. To fix their issues behind center, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that the Browns will try to trade for New England Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, depending on how their draft evaluations go over the next several weeks. But before we get into whether the…

As a lifelong resident of the Napa Valley I have always admired Clinic OLE'S dedication to the community. For many of us in the community "La Clinica Ole" was the only medical resource available, not only for its affordability, but also from a cultural/language comfort aspect. The doctors and staff were the only ones that offered the community a safe place where they could be cared for. It has been wonderful to witness how Clinic Ole has developed over the years, from a small traveling…

Baseball during this time period was a newer addition to the American culture. It became called “America’s Pastime,” the game itself was played by everyone, young and old. It was a shock to the American society to find that eight of the 1919 Black Sox players were suspects of accepting money from gamblers to throw the World Series away. It is considered today as one of the biggest scandals in Major League Baseball history, along with the Pete Rose cheating scandal. As for the trial, some parts…

October 14th, 2016 was an exciting day for baseball fans in Toronto, Ontario. The Toronto Blue Jays prepared to face off against Cleveland in the American League Championship Series. Catch anything out of sorts about that last sentence (specifically relating to the teams)? Read it one more time. The full name of the team the Cleveland Indians was purposefully left out. The Toronto Blue Jays play-by-play announcer, Jerry Howarth, also uses selective vocabulary like this. Howarth’s protest efforts…

Perfection For about a week I have tried to find the write words to explain to people what it is like to be a perfectionist. How would you describe it? Someone who strives to be perfect. Someone who everyone wants to be. A person who dose not stop until everything in there life is perfect. I only wish that was what perfection is like. You see “At its root, perfectionism isn’t really about a deep love of being meticulous. It’s about fear. Fear of making a mistake. Fear of disappointing others.…
