The housing market is heating up, and who knows? Maybe that fabled Baltimore renaissance is right behind. As such, I'd like to take a moment to point out how I single-handedly started this housing trend, having purchased a house in the city with my boyfriend - a full month before the turnaround. You're welcome, Baltimore. Before you rain on my parade, yes, I've heard the theories behind the uptick in sales. Increased home foreclosures are fueling the low prices, driving the market; greedy developers are outbidding buyers looking for a new home; flippers are just biding their time till prices stablize, along with interest in the market.

Last year was the first Valentine's Day for me and my boyfriend. Never one to fuss over the holiday - it's purely a commercial holiday, in my mind - I casually mentioned to him that I didn't want a big deal made over Valentine's. He agreed, and not another word was said of it. But my casual attitude turned out to be easier said than kept. Since I was covering Valentine's Day for Baltamour, the Baltimore Sun's dating and relationships blog, it was all Cupid, all the time. As I crafted gift guides and picked out card suggestions for those who chose to celebrate the holiday, I fell under its spell.

Dawn Shipley and her boyfriend waited until midnight Friday and then left their West Baltimore house. The couple was eager, her family said, to withdraw money from an ATM because Shipley's boyfriend's welfare check had just cleared. He took out the money, and she went to a bar and bought some cigarettes and maybe some beer, according to family members. About an hour later, about 1 a.m. Saturday, somebody shot and killed Shipley. She fell to the ground, bleeding on the sidewalk of the 500 block of Brunswick St. It is just blocks away from her home.

Familiarity breeds contempt. And that is no truer than in a romantic relationship. Even if you're true-blue-to-the-sky in love with your sweetie, there are still going to be things that rub you the wrong way. Like, say, the way he smacks his lips when he eats ice cream. Or the ways she interrupts your conversations. But do you address these annoyances or swallow them? And if you do say something, what's the best way to do it? An ex-boyfriend of Maya Ganapathy, 23, had an annoying habit of leaving bones on the table when he ate chicken.

Less than a year ago, Shenera Norris told a Baltimore judge that she did not want prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against her boyfriend - a man accused of battering her and threatening to kill her with a butcher knife. She had even written a letter to the court: "Please let a loving father and a caring man free. He's all I have." The prosecutor had no other evidence, and the alleged victim wasn't going to cooperate. So last May, the cases against Dale Rodney Jones were suspended.
