A good friend of mine played in The Stain, and I attended several of their shows around town back in the mid to late 90s. I ran the video equipment, so plenty of documented evidence exists showing Stainbrook's leadership along with a few other unmentionables related to haning out at places like Frankie's.

Blade photo. Who is the republican meeting attendee, and who is the security person? The gun is throwing me off. I like the pumpkin name tags.

Frigging hilarious. The Lucas County Clown Party should broadcast their meetings over pay-per-view to raise money.

"Get used to this story. I think The Blade will make it into another crusade until the move is made."

Moving Owens CC [Community College] to downtown Toledo is so damn stupid that if the Blade keeps suggesting similar ideas, then it could become the new Carty.

Last September, a friend and I cleaned up a small portion of the bank along Swan Creek by the farmers market because it was littered with trash, and invasive plants crowded the native flowers. We conducted our little operation very early on a Sunday morning, so that nobody would see us. We didn't have permission to do a river bank cleanup.

In early May, I decided to change our garden a bit by switching to a raised-bed, square-foot garden, even though we have little knowledge on the subject. We need to study more about the compatibility of plants, watering, planting times, etc. Based upon what grows this season, we'll make better plans and learn more during the winter.

I realize that the honeybee is a non-native insect to North America, but if this info is true, and if the situation negatively impacts honeybees, will it also hurt our native bee population?

Larry Sykes said a couple days ago: "There’s no story."

Obviously, that's incorrect, but not for the reason that you think, which is explained further down this comment.

May 22, 2014 dust-up pitting technologists versus journalists in a broad sense. I'm not implying that all technologists and all journalists think the same way, regarding this issue. But for the opinions that I've read thus far, the technologists are correct and smarter.

Incredibly, some media people blame Facebook for the types of stories that the media publishes, and these media people want Facebook to resolve their publishing problems.

Facebook has existed for 10 years while some newspapers have existed for more than 100 years.

May 21, 2014 - cjr.org - For the Times’ innovation report to stick, its journalists need to be on board

Doing journalism and keeping up with what is happening within journalism and the wider digital ecosystem at the same time is impossible

?????? What ??????

Since when is this unique only to journalism? Many industries require or encourage employees to study new trends and technologies to stay relevant while, obviously, performing their current job duties.

It was a weekend celebration of birds and beer with fine weather and good people.

Wrong. That's not the definition of a troll. That's the definition of anonymity or using pseudonyms on the Internet. A big difference exists. Equating a troll with someone using a pseudonym is ignorant.

It's an Associated Press story, so I assume the AP created the titles for their feed.
