If you knew that an 11 month old baby was brought into the emergency room with a crushed skull and more then two dozen of his bones broken and that he eventually died of his injuries, I think that you would also like to see someone pay for this horrific crime. But as yet no one has been charged.

It's been almost two years since a medical examiner determined the 11-week-old died as a result of homicide. In fact, there is no evidence that a grand jury has even been asked to look at the circumstances surrounding his death.

His parents are the main suspects in the baby's death. They are very wealthy so they were able to hire only the best lawyers before the baby was even pronounced dead.

Apparently what happens behind the closed doors of affluent families remains hidden.

Let's pray that Justice be served for this little baby boy regardless of who did it.

Is it okay to wish everyone Merry Christmas?

I think that Ben Stein answers that question very well.

Ben Stein ("Merry Christmas")

As we reach out to the newly bereaved, energy that has been directed inward begins to flow outward and both are helped to heal. 

We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Held annually the second Sunday in December, this year December 9, The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting unites family and friends around the globe in lighting candles for one hour to honor and remember children who have died at any age from any cause. As candles are lit at 7 p.m. local time, hundreds of thousands of persons commemorate and honor children in a way that transcends all ethnic, cultural, religious, and political boundaries.

The Worldwide Candle Lighting is a gift from The Compassionate Friends to the bereavement community allowing us all to join together in unity to remember and honor the memories of all children so they may never be forgotten.

Believed to be the largest mass candle lighting on the globe, the Worldwide Candle Lighting creates a virtual 24-hour wave of light as it moves from time zone to time zone. Hundreds of formal candle lighting events are held and thousands of informal candle lightings are conducted in homes as families gather in quiet remembrance of special children to always be remembered.

I know that some people hate cell phones but I think that a Judge took it a little to far when a cell phone went off in the courtroom and nobody would confess that it was their phone that rang doing a court hearing, even though there was a sign that said all phones off.

Judge Robert Restaino "snapped" and "engaged in what can only be described as two hours of inexplicable madness" during the March 2005 session, Raoul Felder, chairman of the state Commission on Judicial Conduct, wrote in the decision to remove the judge.

Restaino, who became a full-time judge in 2002 after serving part-time since 1996, was hearing domestic violence cases when a phone rang.

"Everyone is going to jail," the judge said. "Every single person is gong to jail in this courtroom unless I get that instrument now. If anybody believes I'm kidding, ask some of the folks that have been here for a while. You are all going."

When no one came forward, the judge ordered the group into custody and they were taken by police to the city jail, where they were searched and packed into crowded cells. Fourteen people who could not post bail were shackled and bused to the Niagara County Jail in Lockport, a 30-minute drive away.

Later in the afternoon, after being told reporters were calling, the judge ordered the defendants released.

The judge told the state panel he was under stress in his personal life.

He was clearly having a Bad Day.

Do you perfer a real tree or fake tree?

 For many years I enjoyed
going out with my family to buy a fresh tree, there is nothing like the scent of a fresh tree. The only problem I had was the needles dropping from drying out so fast.

Now I have an artificial tree I love it, I still stick a few of the fresh tree sprigs in for the scent.

Fake trees are supposed to be safer then fresh because they are treated with a fire retardant.

 So many houses burn each year from trees drying out so soon.
Do you have a fresh or artificial tree?
