We have been trying to participate more in 'Meatless Mondays' recently. What are Meatless Mondays? Essentially that – no meat of any kind on Mondays, and instead you eat meals filled with plant-based ingredients. Sometimes my cravings for steak or chicken take over my control to only eat vegetarian on Mondays, but other times I'm totally able to convert to vegetarian for one day. I was looking to create a dish with what I had on hand in my pantry, and these flavorful tostadas were born (yay, I remembered to write down the recipe)!
These sweet potato and black bean enchiladas are delicious. They whip up in no time, and you can eat them a variety of ways. Chris prefers tacos over tostadas so he used taco shells for his dinner. I have to be honest, I think this recipe tastes even better the next day, especially when paired with a poached egg and some sriracha on top! Boom.
Tex-Mex Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tostadas
Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced into tiny cubes
- 2 cans black beans, drained
- 1/2 softball size white or yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- extra virgin olive oil, ~ 1 tablespoon
- 1/2 vegetable broth or stock (might need more depending on size of sweet potato)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp ground thyme
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- pinch oregano
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground chili powder
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 cups chunky salsa
- Tostadas or Taco Shells – I used El Milagro brand
- Toppings: sliced avocado, cilantro, Italian parsley
Peel the sweet potato and dice. Also, dice the onion and mince the garlic. In a large skillet, heat to medium/medium-high and add olive oil, sweet potato and onion, sauté for 5 minutes. Add vegetable stock, salt and pepper and simmer until liquid reduces down and sweet potatoes are fork tender. Add garlic and tomato paste and combine ingredients. Let simmer for a couple minutes to cook garlic and tomato paste, then add remaining ingredients – black beans, spices and salsa. Let it cook on low for about at least 30 minutes – with keeping watch of the liquid. Optional: You might want to keep adding splashes of stock occasionally and reduce it down so the skillet does not burn the base of the dish.

Walt Mossberg Says iPhone Beats BlackJack and Treo 750
Wall Street Journal columnist, Walt "Uncle Walty" Mossberg says iPhone beats out the BlackJack and Palm's new Treo 750. High praise indeed coming from such an
Apple shill unbiased product reviewer.
"...But if you're in the market for a smart phone and can afford $499, you might want to wait until June for the Apple iPhone. The Apple entry is so full of promise that anyone buying a smart phone in 2007 should at least wait for the full reviews and a chance to try it out."

Walt Mossberg Says iPhone Beats BlackJack and Treo 750
Beware of companies that have to constantly change names in order to try to keep their market share. Even if the Iphone wasn't saddled with a lame, nagging, incompatible interface like Itunes, having to deal with the horrendous customer service that Cingular or AT&T (or whatever name they are trying to hide behind) will make the device the biggest waste of money since the Fat Mac. Yes, I have $3800 worth of empty, orphaned, promise holding a door open at my house. I also have box with two useless phones that I bought from Cingular last year. I had to give up and get a real phone company when I couldn't even find a complaint department, let alone anyone who could do anything but ask me to deposit more money.
i have a blackjack and everytime i try to get flash player it says cant be viewed on this device is there any way to get it on my phone without having to pay for it,all wanna do is watch videos on youtube so can someone help me out lemmie know
Много ненужного как мне кажется, но в вобще думаю так и есть.

Local standouts take part in classic Lobster Bowl
They call it the Maine Shrine Lobster Bowl Classic and Saturday's 20th version of the mid-summer football showdown more than lived up to the "classic" moniker.
The West team couldn't hold an early 10-0 advantage, nor a late 16-10 lead and dropped an agonizing 17-16 decision when Edward Little's Sean Daigle caught a contested pass from Edward Little quarterback Cody Goddard in the final minute.
The West, which boasted Cape Elizabeth linebacker Matt Weiss, Cheverus defensive back Anthony DiPhillipo, Deering linebacker Ernesto Salamone, Falmouth running back Sam Dunwoody, Greely tight end Chris Higgins, Scarborough defensive lineman William Gorman and offensive lineman Brian Woodbury and South Portland defensive lineman Matt Hebert, jumped out to an early lead thanks to a 71-yard TD run from Bonny Eagle's Nate Doehler, the reigning Fitzpatrick Trophy winner, and a 32-yard field goal from Doehler (who was named the game's Most Valuable Player), to make it 10-0 at the half.
The East, whose roster included Morse offensive lineman Carl Nygaard and Mt. Ararat defensive back Michael Rinaldi, rallied on a Goddard-to-Billy Clark of Skowhegan 26-yard TD pass and a 30-yard field goal from Winslow's Scott Sivinski to draw even.
After the West went back on top 16-10 on a Doehler 5-yard run (he missed the ensuing point-after), the East responded and drove for the game-winner.
The West leads the all-time series, 15-5.
The first day of practice for the 2009 high school football season is Aug. 17. The first countable game kicks off Friday, Sept. 4.

Sketch of the Day: Guy with Sword
Today's sketch of the day (#1… I may add another one in a few minutes here) is brought to you courtesy of Buddy Scalera, who has been putting out, as far as I know, the only comic book photo references, and performed by Loukas Papas. I changed the light source, and replaced Lou's head with a more Asian look, because, you know, racism. (Actually, it's because I just watched Warrior's Way, and wanted something along the lines of something out of that movie, but just got really lazy with the "costume" and hair.)

The Green Wave shutout the two-time defending Class AA state champion for two quarters Friday.
Summerville looked strong as it earned a 17-0 victory over Bishop England during a two-quarter scrimmage that was part of the annual Sertoma Football Classic held at Johnson Hagood Stadium.
Sophomore quarterback Sawyer Bridges spread passes around to six different receivers, completing approximately a dozen including two touchdown strikes. Bridges connected with junior David Coccoli for a 28-yard touchdown play that featured some explosive running after the catch. In the closing seconds of the scrimmage, Bridges threw a deep ball to senior William Luck, who made a leaping catch and then dashed into the end zone with only four seconds remaining.
Seniors Sean Smith and Johnston McCurry also had multiple receptions during the scrimmage.
Senior kicker David Kennedy put points on the board for Summerville with a 25-yard field goal and two PAT kicks.
Summerville also had some luck moving the ball on the ground. Junior Darrell Ford did most of the running, but players like Bridges and Darrin Smalls also had carries.

Why don't you guys start your own "Let's fling sh*t at each other thread"? That way you could have one convenient place to vent instead of turning every other thread into a pissing match. :argue:
I could care less if you and Slim, Johnny, or Larry want to lob crap at each other. All I ask is that you ALL have some respect. Keep the sh*t stirring and stink to yourselves and keep it out of other people's threads.
If you have something to share with us that is relevant to the topic then by all means, have at it. Otherwise what you are doing is akin to hit and run vandalism and just as pointless.
And lastly, there is a thing called the ignore list, it works wonders. I have just added you to it along with all the other usual suspects.
One of these days you're going to look around and your only friend is going to be the Buddha. Try not to piss him off.As predicted, larry's latest post on AZ. " Hondo and SF are at each other throats, both arguing that the other isn't sufficiently barking at the Moon mad enough." He and sev are having a field day over the fact that you are indignant over the fact that I am acting as goofy as you. It is kinda funny considering the way you have cussed and ranted at these guys and even got tossed off AZ for getting personal. At least this forum is un-moderated, huh? You've joined Q on your high horse. I'm sure you see how that's working for him. Pathetic! Friggin hypocrites!
Still think we're the same person, genius?
Why do you continue disturbing others?
Why do you send people pm's for sex?
You don't have any friends hondo.Look around in your life you are pathetic.
Now.Again,Why do you send pm's to people for sex?
Why did you have an affair with your house maid?
Do you pay child support for your "love child"?
Our prayers continue for you to calm down.
Seems like no matter what forum site you are on you spread lies.
Are you still getting loaded?You,a supposed school teacher!You know your fellow teachers couldn't wait till you retired a few short years ago.The students thought that you were a bigot and racist.They are very glad you are gone.
Well hondo continue to stuff yourself with fattening foods as that is one thing that you are very good at doing.
You are in our prayers to calm down and to conquor your obesity.

I was reading the book of Revelation and became a little bothered by it. Bothered when I think of it as being literal. That God is actually going to torture the inhabitants of the Earth. The loving God that I believe in wouldn't do that. Is possible that the book is just some Roman Catholic garbage which was added to the bible, or that it is a corrupted text? Or maybe none of it is literal?
http://www.askelm.com/restoring/index.aspPretty much everything else I've read (and I did a major study of canonization a few years ago) reads something to the effect: we don't really know how canonization was finished. Sometime around the nicene council is the first we have of a canon, many things were disputed, but the general consensus, was the 66 we have now were accepted by the early church fathers so thats what we've got.
Quote from: micah7:9 on August 20, 2011, 05:33:46 AMTorture???? I here ya. I shouldn't have used that word. Torture comes from a sadistic heart. And obviously God's purposes for allowing evil or causing evil to befall people is never sadistic. I know that God is doing the refiner's fire thing on people with good intentions.
Thanks for the responses. I apologize for the way I came across with the opening post here, I was a bit frustrated at that time. Its just that when you read about those seals being opened and then the terrible consequences of that, its just hard to understand what it all means.
"when" these things were unfolding in that Jesus is the Lamb and seeing him just being slain indicates that the things unfolding in the vision were things that were beginning to takiplace immediately after Jesus death and resurrection as he was the Lamb that had just been slain. It all has to do with Israel and her relationship with God, the fact she was embracing the old religious system whereas Jesus was established a New Covenant . . .the old had to be removed and that's what all the symbolism is referring to, the uprooting of that old system which took place back in A.D. 70.

Pretty Little Liars
Would You Watch Pretty Little Liars Without the Original Liars?
Pretty Little Liars is a huge hit, which is great. However, if its success continues, the show will be faced with the same dilemma all successful high school shows eventually run into: What do you do when the girls graduate?
The classic solution is to have all of the characters wind up at the same college, so we wouldn't be shocked to see the Liars at Hollis (though getting Spencer [Troian Bellisario] there would require some impressive manipulations). However, sometimes shows go a different route, and recently executive producer Oliver Goldstick revealed that the PLL Powers That Be have toyed with the idea of introducing four totally new Liars when the current crop graduates.
While we trust the PLL creators, the idea of moving on with four new characters seems awfully hard to us. The Liars are the heart of the show! On the other hand, we've adjusted to big cast changes on shows like Glee and the UK version of Skins, so maybe we'd warm up to newbies on PLL, too.
Of course, this is all very theoretical, since Oliver said the girls probably wouldn't graduate until Season 5 anyway. But we want to know: Would you potentially watch the show without them?
Find more Pretty Little Liars spoilers here.
Catch the next episode of Pretty Little Liars on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

The engineering is long gone in most PC companies. In the consumer electronics companies, they don't understand the software parts of it. And so you really can't make the products that you can make at Apple anywhere else right now. Apple's the only company that has everything under one roof.
Steve Jobs.
Like this Quote very much.

Comments about Nancy Bs Science Club Microscope and Activity Journal:
I was given as a review item. All views are my own.When I was little I was not a girly girly girl. I didn't play with dolls. I played with cars and building blocks. Girl toys didn't interest me. My room was wall to wall shelves with dolls I never even played with. Stuffed critters covered my bed but never were played with.Then one year for xmas my dad got me a microscope and computer. It would change my life later on. I loved them. I would sit for hours playing with my microscope. I want my kids to get that same feeling.Nancy B Microscope has been a great way I have been able to teach and connect with Rowan. I was so tickled to get to review this product.

Comes with a Journal to write down what they see and discover. Has three different miginfing settings. A cover for eye lens to keep it clean. both upper and lower lights for better viewing. Has three pre-made slides to get you started.This has Rowan loving looking at things in a different way. He really loves learning about what things look up close. It is a well make educational toy. Will last for years. Can be use with your homeschool curriculum. As a great way to get your child into Science. Even if you don't homeschool it makes a great gift for any child. Make it a gift that could change their life for the better.Here is more on Nancy B Microscope :Zoom in on the fun with our microscope!

Great Learning Toy!
By Julia
from Caldwell, ID
About Me Parent
Both of my girls (4 and 10) enjoyed this Microscope.works well enough to get kids interested in science and microbiology.It really does function quite well, especially for its purpose, which is to introduce children to science. It does the trick very nicely, and is sturdy enough to hold up to rough handling.My older daughter is all into science so this was perfect for her. she can spend hours makings slides and looking into them.It would be nice if it came with a pouch or box to keep all the slides and vials together.
Christmas surprise look!
By Marcia
from Belvidere nj
My granddaughter was uncertain what she had received until we put the first prepared slide nto the field. She loved the experience and thought of many other things she wished to view. I had looked at other microscopes that were more powerful but believe the design is perfect for a 7 year old
Love this microscope!
By Mom of 2 girls
from Shenandoah Valley, VA
We gave this to our 8 year old daughter for Christmas. She absolutely loves it. It's small and lightweight so it travels easily for her to grandmas house and I'm certain it will be headed to the beach with us on vacation this year. Definitely worth every penny. I was skeptical because of the size and all of the plastic, but it has quickly proven that it is a capable little microscope. I'm sure we'll be getting a bigger, heavy duty microscope in years to come for our little science lover, but this is perfect right now.

A fatal car crash claimed the life of a 20-year-old Lewisville woman on Sept. 30.
According to a press release, Desiree Clarese Jones was driving through downtown Boonville in the 200 block of Main Street near Boonville Elementary School when her 2003 Chevrolet Trail Blazer SUV left the road at a high rate of speed and collided with a tree. It is believed that Jones was killed on impact.
"It appears she lost control in a curve just pass Galaxy Grocery," said Boonville Police Chief G.L. Gibson. "She then slid around and lost control while over correcting."
Gibson said that officers estimate that Jones was traveling at about 80 miles per hour and was going 70 miles per hour at time of impact with the tree. It took rescue workers three hours to free Jones from the wreckage.
Gibson said the Boonville Police Department did not have reason to believe that alcohol was involved in the wreck. Gibson said that no alcohol containers were found in the vehicle and there was not a smell of alcohol within the car.
Gibson said that in wrecks like this it is a general rule for the department to request a toxicology report if an autopsy is performed. Gibson said that an autopsy will be performed and he's not sure when the toxicology results will come back.
It is unclear what Jones was doing in the Boonville area. According to Gibson her family does not know why she would be in the area and she has no connections to anyone in the area as far as authorities can tell.
The tree that Jones' vehicle collided with was on the property of a Boonville resident.
"There's a little bit of landscaping damage," Gibson said. "A passerby saw the wreckage and ran up to the resident's door to ask them to call 911. It was less than one minute before an officer arrived."
Gibson said that Boonville Fire Department, Yadkin County Rescue Services, Yadkin County Sheriff's Office, Boonville Police Department and Doc's Towing in Yadkinville were all integral parts in the efforts to save Jones and clean up the wreckage.

Q:How often should this mask be used?Asked on 4/24/2015 by Emily Freya from Shoreline, WA
1 answer
A:How often you use the face masks depends on your skin, and the results that you are trying to achieve, but we recommend using them 2-3 times weekly. Masks are designed to be very deep cleansing, pulling dirt and oil from your pores, so using them more often than that might be too intense for your skin.Answered on 4/25/2015 by Emily from LUSH Direct

Q:Hi, I've asked my parents to bring me some LUSH goodies from Italy this weekend since we don't have it here in Greece. Say they're buying Catastrophe Cosmetic on Monday, refrigerate it till Tuesday and then fly back home on a two hour flight (plus the extra time waiting at both airports)...will it survive these few hours out of the fridge and the flight in general? Thank you in advance!Asked on 11/14/2014 by replicant from Athens, Greece
1 answer
A:If you're travelling with one of our Fresh Face Masks, we recommend packing it with an ice pack just to ensure it stays in top condition.Answered on 11/19/2014 by Serena from LUSH Direct
Q:I was given this mask as a gift, but the giver didn't realize it needed to be refrigerated. It was kept out of the fridge, unopened, for 2 days. Is it still okay to use?Asked on 3/31/2014 by Mindy from Vernal, UT

Q:I've used this mask twice and it's made my breakouts worse. Is this normal?Asked on 1/30/2014 by Jasmine
1 answer
A:The first few times you use this mask you may notice break-outs. Our masks reach very deep into your pores to pull out all the dirt and debris located there, so until your face gets used to this, you might have some breakouts. However, after a few uses, your face should adjust, and the benefits of the mask will be much more apparent.Answered on 3/21/2014 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct
Q:My mask has passed the expiration date but I have kept it in my fridge the entire time and not yet opened it. Is it still ok to use since it has not been opened it or does it expire right on the expiration date regardless of if it has been opened?Asked on 10/19/2013 by Nicole
3 answers
A:With all our fresh face masks, we do not add any preservatives to them, so it's recommended that you use it before it's expiration date, even if it hasn't been opened. You should also be keeping this item refrigerated at all times.Answered on 11/28/2013 by Anonymous
A:The Catastrophe Cosmetic Fresh Face Mask does not contain any preservative ingredients, so we do not recommend that you use it after the "Use By" date, even if it is unopened.Answered on 11/28/2013 by Anonymous
A:No might cause a skin reaction a day or two might be OK to useAnswered on 11/18/2013 by yaya from Oakland , Ca
Q:Unlike other face masks I've tried, Catastrophe Cosmetic seems to be a thick, creamy texture than a liquidy texture. Is it supposed to be like that?Asked on 3/24/2013 by Moondancer from San Antonio, TX
2 answers
A:Our fresh masks do vary in texture as they are made with different ingredients,so some may be thicker than others.Catastrophe Cosmetic is indeed one of our thicker face masks as it's made with fresh blueberries among the other ingredients.Answered on 9/20/2013 by Anonymous

Q:If I use this product but not all of it, can I put it back in the fridge and save it for later?Asked on 3/24/2013 by Gracie
2 answers
A:All of our fresh face masks have a three week shelf life on them, and both the "made on" and "use by" dates are marked on the face stickers on the bottom of the pot. Each pot should give you about three or four uses, and is fine to use until its expiration date!Answered on 8/20/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Yes! You should get a few uses out of each container, I usually use my masks about 4 times. Just make sure that you use it all up before the expiration date.Answered on 4/5/2013 by k80h from New York

Summer is a time when many people spend a lot of time outdoors. It's also a time when people are more likely to see snakes.
The creatures are common in Aiken County, so don't be surprised if you spot one of the reptiles while on a picnic, working in your yard or fishing in a creek or lake.
The S.C. Department of Natural Resources recently issued a press release saying, "It's summertime and the snakes are crawling."
Some of the types of snakes that local residents might encounter are corn snakes, Eastern kingsnakes and rat snakes
"There certainly are more nonvenomous snakes than there are venomous snakes in Aiken County," said Deborah McMurtrie, director of student programs at USC Aiken's Ruth Patrick Science Education Center.
Part of McMurtrie's job is teaching schoolchildren who visit the Center about snakes and other animals.
"Sometimes the kids who come here think any snake is a bad snake," McMurtrie said. "They are afraid of snakes, and they think you should kill them if you see them. But that is not the case, and it's something we want to educate people about.
"Snakes fulfill an important function," McMurtrie continued. "One thing many of them do is eat rodents. If you have a snake in your yard and you kill it, you might find that you have a rodent problem because the food source will be there and the snake will not, so the rodents will multiply. For pest control, snakes are very helpful."
Some children who visit the Ruth Patrick Center are worried that snakes will chase them, but that's not true, according to McMurtrie.
"Snakes would prefer to be as far away from you as possible," she said. "Snakes don't have anything to gain by chasing a person. They're not looking at the person as food, and they're not hateful creatures in any way. We try to educate children and their parents that when they see a snake in the yard, more than likely it's not going to be aggressive. If they leave it alone, it will leave them alone."
McMurtrie advises the children she teaches not to pick up snakes in the wild.
"For someone one who handles snakes and knows what they're doing, it's a little bit different," McMurtrie said. "But as far as the children are concerned, I recommend that they not pick up snakes. I also tell them not to try to hurt them, but to just leave them alone. Respect them and enjoy observing them from a distance."
According to the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory, there are 42 species of snakes in South Carolina and Georgia and only six of them are venomous. The venomous snakes are the copperhead, water moccasin (also known as the cottonmouth), Eastern diamondback rattlesnake, canebreak or timber rattlesnake, pigmy rattlesnake and coral snake. The Laboratory's information about snakes can be found online at http://srelherp.uga.edu/snakes/index.htm.
The Department of Natural Resources provides information about snakes online at www.dnr.sc.gov/wildlife/snakes/index.html.

Monkey businessWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | email@example.com
Toledo is not the hub of industry it once was, but if The Blade continues to manufacture stories like its recent Brian Wilson series, the Glass City's production will rival Pittsburgh's during the steel boom.
Wilson, the program director, news director and afternoon host for 1370 WSPD, is an unrelenting critic of The Blade. He mocks its publisher, its unsigned editorials and a number of its reporters by name, including Blade politics writer Tom Troy. Because of this adversarial relationship, Troy should never report news involving Wilson; how could Troy's work be objective when he is writing about a man who publicly derides him?
And yet on Jan. 8, The Blade published a story attributed to Troy, "WSPD host compares TPS students, monkeys; Wilson denies racism." What unfolded during the next few days was a striking example of journalistic malice and recklessness.
Troy's article began, "A radio talk show host's reference to 'little monkeys' while talking about students at Toledo Public Schools on Friday generated outrage that the language was insensitive to African-American students, and all students."
Let's break that down.
- "A radio talk show host's reference to 'little monkeys' while talking about students at Toledo Public Schools." That sure sounds definitive, doesn't it? No qualifiers such as "alleged" or "interpreted" or anything that makes the reader doubt the equal sign between "little monkeys" and "students at Toledo Public Schools."
- "generated outrage" That makes it sound as if a mob, pitchforks in hand, took it upon itself to break down the studio doors at WSPD. That was not the case. The station reported it did not log a single complaint after Wilson's Jan. 7 monologue. Where did the outrage originate? Apparently, from Troy and his editors.
- "insensitive to African-American students, and all students" The first web version of the story I read did not include the qualifier, "and all students." Troy's original version equated Wilson's supposed offense to just African-American students. The written quote attributed to Wilson, "certainly, teaching little monkeys to peel bananas and so on and them learning to do it correctly on cue does not mean that they've learned everything except a funny parlor trick," does not reference TPS students, or African-American students. But Troy's opening paragraph linked the two, and that is all the evidence The Blade offered. A 14-second audio clip of that phrase was embedded in the story online.
Troy, in the first of two references, writes that Wilson was "broadcasting the show from Virginia where he now lives." That must be important to the narrative for Troy to include it twice in one story.
Troy then reports comments from three sources; two of them Black, one Hispanic. Did it not occur to him that any Caucasian people would be offended? Troy quotes Rev. Kevin Bedford, president of the NAACP; Larry Sykes, whom Troy describes as an "African-American member" of the TPS Board of Education; and Bob Vasquez, the president of the TPS Board of Education. Why did Troy feel compelled to describe Sykes as an "African-American?" Journalism 101 teaches the importance of not labeling sources by race or other traits unless is it important to the story. You would never read in The Blade, "Mike Bell, the African-American Mayor." Was identifying Sykes' skin color important to illustrating his "outrage?"
All three men excoriated Wilson; of course they did. They were given a 14-second quote and most likely told by the reporter that the quote was directly referring to TPS students. More prudent men might have asked for a larger context or asked to speak with Wilson before they condemned him.
Here is another quote from the story that reeks of bias: "Contacted later by phone at his home near Lynchburg, Va., Mr. Wilson sloughed off the criticism of those who read racism into his diatribe about public education."
There's that second Virginia reference. And check out these loaded words: "sloughed off," which implies arrogance and insensitivity ("disputed" would carry more neutrality) and "diatribe," which implies senseless ranting ("monologue" or "comments" would be more objective).
Troy goes on to drag in a Wilson use of the phrase "plantation mentality," and then adds this detail: "During the interview he used another animal metaphor, saying that American education follows a model established in Germany to train 'young minds to be good little government lemmings'." That would seem to show Wilson has a habit of using animal analogies, which would take some steam out of the notion he used "monkeys" to specifically degrade TPS students; I wonder if Troy took the time to Google "lemmings," hoping that animal could be negatively equated to some human racial group.
Stirring the outrage
On Jan. 9, "Wilson's remarks stir more outrage" appeared, attributed to Mark Zaborney. Zaborney's lead: "Remarks by a radio talk show host that were considered insensitive to African-American students in the Toledo Public Schools reverberated throughout the community Saturday."
Notice that we are back to Wilson only offending African-American students; Zaborney must have missed Troy's revisions. Note also the dramatic "reverberated throughout the community," as if every segment of Toledo's population was preoccupied with this nonsense. Zaborney does remember to remind readers that Wilson's broadcast "originated from his home in Virginia," so he got that part of The Blade's mission.
Zaborney's story centers on a protest meeting: "The Parent Congress has called a news conference … at the Thurgood Marshall Building on Manhattan Boulevard — the Toledo Public Schools headquarters."
It was certainly friendly of TPS to open its headquarters for such a news conference on a Sunday, wasn't it?
In addition to recycling comments from Troy's sources, Zaborney adds that Toledo Mayor Mike Bell called for Wilson to apologize. Zaborney adds his opinion to the news story with this sentence:
"Mr. Wilson doesn't limit incendiary remarks to the airwaves. Atop his Web site is a picture of a microphone aflame."
What does that have to do with anything? Well, it gives Zaborney an opportunity to quote Wilson making some "incendiary" blog comments about NW Ohio residents.
Hitting the brakes
During the first two days of Blade coverage, no one quoted had heard anything except the 14-second audio file helpfully shopped around by The Blade. That segment of the Jan. 7 show was not available on the WSPD website. So unless you heard the comment live (which apparently none of the quoted leaders did), or caught it overnight during the Web streaming repeat of the broadcast, your only source for the content was The Blade's race-baiting reporting.
On Jan. 8 and 9, I talked to Wilson (from his home in Virginia!) two or three times, hoping to get the file of the full segment so I could hear the context for myself before I decided if Toledo Free Press would report anything on the controversy. I tried to get Wilson to talk about The Blade's story and provide the audio clip, but he told me he was not talking to the press and did not provide the file.
Toledo Free Press and WSPD have a hot-and-cold history. The radio station is an ally, and I have guest-hosted shows a dozen or so times, but a few philosophical breaks have kept us from being full-fledged, in-step partners. I still wanted to hear Wilson's comments in full, so I pursued a few back channel contacts and eventually obtained the five-and-a-half minute audio clip. I played it on my BlackBerry. Then replayed it. Then played it again.
While the audio clip on The Blade's website contained the supposedly offending reference to monkeys, it did not include the setup, in which Wilson criticized the concept of teaching through repetition without teaching independent thinking, nor did it include this crucial next sentence: "Similarly with children, just because you can teach them the answers to what are the capitals of the 50 States in America, that's a fun exercise but it doesn't teach them how to think, doesn't teach them how to be objective, doesn't teach them to be entrepreneurs and individuals and things along that order."
There was no way an intelligent, discerning person could interpret Wilson's "monkey" comment as anything resembling a direct reference to humans, much less TPS students.
I sent the clip to Toledo Free Press contributor Lisa Renee Ward and asked her to send it to sources included in The Blade's coverage to seek comment. Toledo Free Press provided the transcript of the segment to those who had made statements calling for Wilson to apologize and/or asked Clear Channel Communications to discipline him, including TPS Superintendent Jerome Pecko, who had appeared at the Jan. 9 news conference; Bell; TPS Board Vice President Lisa Sobecki; President and CEO of the Greater Urban League John C. Jones; the NAACP's Bedford; and Chris Varwig, past president of TPS Parent Congress.
Despite clear evidence that Wilson had not called TPS students "little monkeys," Sobecki and Varwig stuck by their statements.
The first crack in The Blade's mission to sink Wilson came from Bell, when Jennifer Sorgenfrei, public information officer for the City of Toledo, said, "[The mayor's] statement was in direct response to the portion of audio he was provided by The Blade," the first public indicator that this mess originated with the daily paper of record.
For the next 24 hours, the only public place to hear the full context of Wilson's comments was on the Toledo Free Press website.
I am not a monkey
The Jan. 10 Blade story, its third front-page story in a row, "TPS parents: WSPD's Wilson must apologize," was authored by Jennifer Feehan.
Notably, The Blade coverage begins to soften here, but not much. Wilson's comments are merely "decried" and Feehan writes "some took" them as a "blatant racial slur." No need to write like a political pamphleteer when you have everyone stirred up, right? Feehan does make sure she notes that Wilson "lives in Virginia," but that might have been written by Troy, who contributed to Feehan's story.
For the first time in three reports, The Blade quotes someone who actually thinks before he reacts: "Denny Schaffer, a former Toledo radio talk-show host who was contacted by The Blade Sunday night, said he would have to hear more of Mr. Wilson's show Friday to comment on whether his words crossed a line."
Good call, Denny.
In the printed version of The Blade, the Wilson story jumps from Page 1 to a page filled with coverage of just the Tucson shootings tragedy, linking the two stories in a way that shows The Blade was ahead of the curve in linking conservative talk radio to the massacre. In a separate Jan. 10 story on Rep. Marcy Kaptur's reaction to the Tucson shootings, Troy quoted Kaptur condemning Wilson's comments and, startlingly, calling for a listener boycott of WSPD.
It is interesting to note that one of the photos published with Feehan's story shows a Rogers High School student holding a sign that reads, "I am NOT a monkey!" After publication of that photo, the boy's mother posted a Facebook message to abc13 reporter Kristian Brown that read, "did you see the front page of the Blade today and that little monkey? LOL."
Pecko's persistence
On Jan. 10, the Urban League's Jones called into Wilson's show, and while he stopped short of agreeing with Wilson that The Blade had "duped" him, honorably made it clear that he no longer believed Wilson's comments were directed at TPS students. During his broadcast, Wilson said he was sorry if anyone was offended by his remarks — which isn't the same thing as being sorry for making the remarks.
On Jan. 11, a fourth reporter was stained by this epic libel (and it's fair to ask — had any of these journalists bothered to listen to the full Wilson segment, or were they relying solely on Troy's reporting?). "TPS' Pecko says Wilson's apology over comment is insufficient," attributed to Christopher D. Kirkpatrick, gives the TPS chief something to talk about besides a $38 million deficit. Now that the full audio had been available on the Toledo Free Press website since Jan. 9 and on WSPD's website since Jan. 10, there seemed to be far fewer people willing to go on the record condemning Wilson.
Here is Kirkpatrick's lead sentence: "Public Schools Superintendent Jerome Pecko said he doesn't buy an apology Monday from WSPD-AM, 1370 radio personality Brian Wilson, who on Friday compared the district's instructional methods to the same type of rote instruction that succeeds in teaching little monkeys to peel bananas."
In four stories, The Blade evolved from Troy's opinion-laden reporting to Kirkpatrick's more fact-based description, which is notable for not placing quotation marks around its "little monkeys" reference.
Pecko told Kirkpatrick late Jan. 10, "he had not heard the entire Friday broadcast," even though Toledo Free Press had provided it to his office mid-Sunday afternoon. Even after he listened to it and commented to Toledo Free Press on Jan. 11, Pecko insisted that Wilson's comments were racial in nature and aimed at TPS students; he renewed his nonsensical and censorship-leaning call for the FCC to review WSPD. He was joined in his racial context belief by Blade Managing Editor Dave Murray, who told 13abc that "the paper stands behind the story and felt it was put in proper context."
The reversal
I wonder how Pecko, Murray and others who continued to stand by The Blade's libelous series felt when they read the opening sentence in The Blade's Jan. 12 editorial, "Free, responsible speech": "No, Brian Wilson did not call Toledo Public Schools students 'little monkeys'." Mea culpa!
Here is the next line from the editorial: "But the talk-radio host and his defenders ought not complain that this newspaper yanked his recent observations about public education out of context, and at the same time try to ignore or deny the broader context of local leaders' criticism of his remarks."
But when the "broader context of local leaders' criticism" comes from a slanted, 14-second clip, why shouldn't that context be ignored and discounted? None of the myriad people hoodwinked by The Blade on this story are going to publicly admit to being played for fools, but they were. Twice. First when they knee-jerk commented in their rush to criticize Wilson, and again when The Blade left them standing all alone after it changed its mind.
The unsigned editorial also includes this puzzler: "Comparing humans with lesser primates is, of course, a standard racial insult."
Really? Think about the stunning implications of that statement. There's no outrage in it, just a ho-hum admission that "That's just the way it is."
Maybe that is the way they think in The Blade newsroom. Someone mentions monkeys, and the people there think of race. If I say Toledo Free Press threw a monkey wrench in The Blade's scheme to harm Wilson, will Blade editors think we hired an African-American mechanic?
The editorial then admits, "there is no evidence that that was Mr. Wilson's intent."
Tom Troy and his editors sure thought there was, for four consecutive days of front page stories.
The hardest word
They have no real governing authority, but perhaps the Associated Press, Ohio Chapter of Society of Professional Journalists and the Toledo Press Club should closely examine their membership guidelines and compare them to The Blade's conduct in this case.
And, hey, city leaders, the next time The Blade calls, shopping around an inflammatory quote, how about doing some research before you open your mouths and condemn someone? If you jump anyway and then discover you were wrong, how about being a man and apologizing as loudly as you criticized?
This is the second time The Blade has taken a major swing at its nemesis Wilson, following a number of stories on the host living in Virginia, and it is the second time Wilson has walked away. In this case, that 800-pound gorilla at 541 N. Superior St. looks a lot less like King Kong and a lot more like Captain Huggy Face.
