Featured Site "The Savvy Vegetarian"

Every now and then as a publisher we are pleasantly surprised, that happened a few days ago when another web publisher contacted us whom we had not come across before. Her name is Judy Kingsbury and she is the "Savvy Vegetarian"

Judy has an amazing site full to overflowing with resources for newbie vegetarians and experienced veg-heads alike. Her advice column is reminiscent of Anne Landers the

Meet the First ETE Trekkers

The East Coast Greenway Alliance "people trail" from Maine to Key West is a project which over the past 10 years has labored to develop a pedestrian/bike trail through the densely populated urban centers of the Eastern United States. Starting early this September, twelve volunteer cyclists will embark on the first 2600 mile End-To-End tour from Calais, Maine to Key West, Florida arriving in Key

Earthday 2004

Eighteen years ago while I was still teaching and very confident, if somewhat confused about my future the college that tolerated my youthful effusiveness managed in its own starry-eyed enthusiasm to capture a ray of sunlight. On a wonderfully warm and bright blue spring day in May of 1986 a person came to our campus who, for some of us, epitomized the reality of our potential, our possibilities

A Trail Runs Through It

The East Coast Greenway Alliance is ten years old and doing very well thanks to the effort of countless volunteers and a singular vision to create a contiguous pedestrian nature trail from Maine to Key West. With twenty percent of the trail complete and another 50 percent of the right of way secured and ready to begin construction the Greenway Trail is about to become a reality.

The Good, The Bad and the Frugal, an Easter Tale

Recently I came across two stories that while not related have a common thread and, if you think about it, a tale to tell.

The first is this story from Sun City Center, Florida. The parishioners of a new congregation named St. John the Divine Episcopal Church found themselves the benefactors of an unusual fund raising event, a “Big Tent Pork Barbeque.” Now, you may say, what is so unusual about

Manatees in Jeopardy

We were researching a story for todays edition when a feed came through from Denlines. This is an issue for those of us who live in Florida, it's true, but beyond that it surely impacts any of you who have lived near or heard of these gentle giants of the sea. We urge you to write to the folks listed below and voice your dismay at the potential for suffering and loss that this legislation

DULCINEA PIE

This recipe is the result of a late evening and the coincidence that aired a version of Cervante's Don Quixote, "Man of La Mancha," 1972 starring Peter O'Tool and Sophia Loren as "Dulcinea."

USDA Food Pyramid, Reexamined

In 1992 the USDA introduced the "Food Pyramid" a graphic representation of the basic food groups and their relative portioning in the course of a "healthy" human diet. The pyramid is a clear visual representation, easily reproduced and distributed by various media for use in public information campaigns, schools, and libraries. It was a brilliant marketing concept created and precisely executed

It is always nice to be noticed

Elisabeth Donovan, Research Editor for the Miami Herald provides a nifty online running commentary about Blogs and Bloggers notable if you blog or just like to read them. Ms Donovan serves up a full plate of some of the best, most entertaining and informative WeBlogs to be found...and I'm not saying that just because she included "The Green Cutting Board" in her column yesterday.

A Fellow Food Fan Fein

A friend, Shenanchie published her Vegan Recipe Page yesterday and so, I want to acknowledge Deborah's work. There is a moment in each life when writing will transcend art. Her publication Shenanchie's Kitchen embraces both, but why should it not; Shenanchie is Gaelic for "Story Teller" and Deborah means "Bee" or "kind words" in Hebrew, both applicable I assure you.
