Welcome to the first Friday of the month. Usually I share a delicious
recipe with you, but this month I decided to do something a bit different.
We've talked about the many reasons to eat meatless meals and we've
explored some wonderful dishes from people all over the world. But once
we've made the decision to incorporate more vegan foods into our lives, how
do we get started? I'm glad you asked!
Here are some proven ways to easily add meatless meals to your table:

Why I will not be speaking at Southeast TESOL next week
I will not be speaking at the Southeast TESOL Association Meeting to be

with strategies for working with common core and all of the states in

I therefore changed my topic to "The case against the common core." This

Al Qaeda Terrorists Pass US Special Forces, CIA Agents on Way to Syria
*November 1, 2013* (Tony Cartalucci) - A recent Daily Telegraph article

NATO is the chief executor of the so-called "War on Terror," started in
2001 after Al Qaeda terrorists allegedly flew four passenger planes into

and the Pentagon. Nearly 3,000 people died in a single day. The invasion of

Here's a suggestion to Adam Ozimek of *Forbes*: When trying to make
your case, never quote a much better article by a much better columnist.
Case in point: Ozzie's article entitled, "The Liberal War on Food
Stamps." Obviously, this is a title that is designed to be provocative by
going for the most ironic sentence and one wrenched 180 degrees from its
polar opposite (that would be the truth). This pro-corporate fuckstick
immediately goes for the jugular by writing,
I can’t remember a more misguided attempt at attacking corporations than
the move to frame food stamps as co... more »
Scary Stuff
If you're afraid of snakes, Science has found a visceral cause. There
exists in our primate brains something called a pulvinar -- clusters of
neurons specifically designed to make us fear the slithering legless
reptiles.
So I ask myself: do our brains also contain special neuronal pockets making
us fear spiders, bears and sabre-tooth tigers? And before Homo sapiens goes
entirely extinct, will evolution go into speed-dial emergency survival mode
and gift us with a special place in our cerebral cortices which enable us
to spot a slimy politician from a mile away?

This is what happens when the two parties ruling Washington lose touch with
America and pander to their crazy-extreme bases: President Obama's
competency and personality ratings are nose-diving, according to a new
NBC/Wall Street Journal poll; barely a sliver of the public thinks highly
of the Republican Party; and two-thirds of Americans want to replace their
own member of Congress.

two parties are mirror images of each other: he manages to miss what may be

What has Ford ever accomplished? He sat on council a job that one could

It is the fatal deficit of all powermongers. The Harper government’s

Most of us eat fermented foods without even knowing it. Condiments you use

greater number of $10 bills: the effect is pretty much non-existent.
