Vegan Lentil Meatball Stroganoff {Recipe}
This hearty and satisfying meal is sure to become a family favorite during cold-weather seasons.
Leaves are falling, and temperatures are dropping, which means it's time to treat yourself to a big bowl of something warm. And by "something warm," we mean a delicious stroganoff made with homemade, pan-seared lentil meatballs. This cruelty-free spin on a cool-weather classic is punctuated by a vegan sour-cream-and-mushroom sauce and served over wide fusilli pasta. One bite, and you just might wish fall lasted all year long.
Serves 2
What You Need:
For the meatballs:
½ cup dried green lentils
1⅔ cups water
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
1 cup cremini mushrooms, stems removed
¼ cup shallot, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
⅔ cup bread crumbs
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ cup olive oil
For the sauce:
4 tablespoons vegan butter
1 8-ounce package cremini mushrooms, stems removed, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup vegan beef broth
¼ cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon creamy Dijon mustard
⅓ cup vegan sour cream
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ pound fusilli pasta, cooked according to package directions
½ cup reserved pasta-cooking water
¼ cup Italian flat leaf parsley
What You Do:
1. For the meatballs, into a medium-sized pot, add dried lentils and 1½ cups water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to low heat. Simmer for approximately 25 minutes or until lentils are softened and cooked through.
2. Into a small bowl, add flaxseed and 3 tablespoons water. Set aside to thicken while the lentils are cooking.
3. Into a food processor, add cooked green lentils, flaxseed mixture, cremini mushrooms, shallot, garlic, bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Blend on high speed until all ingredients are well combined. Roll mixture into 2-inch balls. You will have approximately 20 lentil meatballs.
4. Into a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add lentil meatballs, and cook, turning frequently, until browned evenly all around.
5. For the sauce, into a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons vegan butter. When butter is melted, add mushrooms and cook 2 minutes. Add garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
6. To the same skillet over medium-high heat, add remaining 2 tablespoons vegan butter. Once butter is melted, quickly whisk in all-purpose flour. Whisk in vegan beef broth and dry white wine. Bring to a boil for 1 minute, and remove from heat.
7. Stir in Dijon, sour cream, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg. Add mushroom mixture back into the pan and gently stir to combine with sauce.
8. Prepare pasta according to package directions. Before draining, reserve ½ cup of the still-hot water. Gradually stir in reserved pasta water ¼ cup at a time to thin sauce to desired consistency.
9. To serve, toss sauce with prepared pasta and top with lentil meatballs. Garnish with Italian flat leaf parsley and serve warm.

As someone has probably already realized, I have not been updating this lately. There are two reasons why I haven't written: first, I'm taking three graduate class right now which are demanding a lot from me, and second, I'm talking to someone about writing for a magazine with similar themes as those I've been discussing here. Since my inspiration in the last few months has been sucked dry by school, I decided to save those few ideas I do have until I know what will happen with this writing opportunity.
Before school got into full swing I was able to start the following fragment on Hip-Hop and music in general. I decided to post in here, unedited, since I won't be able to write anything new until some time in December. On that note, the Chapter Five that I posted before this is also for the most part unedited.
I have recently been spending some time on that great life-taker the "Internet Forum." In particular I was involved in a lively debate over at ArtsandFaith.com—a great site. The topic got around to what makes good Christian Hip-Hop. I pointed to my previous blogs on the subject wherein I argue that there should be certain difference between secular and Christian music—a difference that must transcend lyrics. It is this idea that I am going to explore a bit more here.
One of the things that have historically held popular music in general from being treated on the same level as other Art is the fact that many musicians do not consider their works as a whole. (A Marxist would disagree with me here, suggesting that the only true separation is along class lines. Elitist members of society create Artistic rules and structures in order to systematically renounce pop music as useless. Oddly enough it is pop music that helps make the rich, richer and to establish materialistic philosophies as the norm in our culture. But that is for another post…) It is not uncommon to here a singer talk about how a lyric expresses or says this or that, but rarely do they attempt to explain what the music expresses or says. This is due, in part, to a belief that music does not have tangible communicative properties. Lyrics can speak, music can only make people "feel." Therefore, many musicians fail to even attempt to communicate through their instruments. Another reason for this is that most popular music is made by people who do not think in artistic terms (a fault of our world's retreat from intelligence and critical thinking). Most rock bands are made up of young teenagers, whose goals are more often than not to let out aggression, be popular, and meet girls.
For most pop music this problem of uniting the themes of the lyrics and the power of the music is very difficult. The ability to have a four piece band all understand and agree (even in a general way) on a theme and work together successfully to express that theme is daunting. The few bands that are able to do this are often headed by diabolical singers or the members communicate exceptionally well: I.E. Radiohead, The Smashing Pumpkins….etc. Making a song with four members of a band, where each member has an instrument, and each instrument has a part, means that there are many opportunities for the theme to be diluted.
Imagine if the theme of the song is love, as it often is. The lead singer writes the lyrics to the song and a basic chord progression on guitar and takes it into the band for them to learn. In his lyrics the focus is upon the difficulty of finding true love. Lets assume that he tells the band that this is the theme (something that in my experience is rarely done---most of the time the singer just plays and sings the song and the band ignores his words and pays attention to the melody and the music…but I'll give our fictional rock star the benefit of the doubt.), and they each begin learning the song. Even if they are conscious of the theme, they will each have their own interpretation of what "true love" means. Thus the process of interpretation has begun before the Artist has finished the work. Sometimes this can be helpful, by "pooling" their visions of a theme together they can make a work that better communicates to the listener. But my point here is that there are several points where the theme can become watered down and diverted. In the case of Hip-Hop this problem can be minimized simply because it does not require so many people in order to produce the song. In reality, all that is necessary is a producer and a rapper, and often times these are one in the same.

A Quick Guide To Bali
The island of Bali has many an almost magical attraction for decades. Even though it is small, the island has become a great destination where you will be amazed by the Hindu culture, the extensive nature, the green rice terraces, lovely beaches and the Balinese people with their great hospitality and open kindness.
On the island you will find an extensive and developed tourist infrastructure where plenty to see and do. You can sleep in simple guesthouses and small hotels in backstreets simple to luxurious resorts on beautiful beaches, where you can find everything to facilities. In recent years, however, a new phenomenon in Bali arise, namely staying in a private villa. Such residence offers maximum privacy and comfort, at a price that is affordable for many. After a week's stay in a villa, you are completely rested, pampered and recovered and can you really say that you have had a holiday! This true paradises found almost anywhere on the island, but most villas are located near Seminyak and Ubud. Roughly they can be divided into 2 categories.
Hotel and Villas
With hotel-villas are the clusters of villas meant, actually be run as a hotel. Usually these oases of tranquility and opulence as between 10 and 20 houses, each individually walled for maximum privacy. They have a large surface often in the garden your private pool and butler to attend to your needs respond. Besides the privacy and comfort of your own villa, these accommodations offer additional facilities such as a large swimming pool, a restaurant with bar and a spa. So you can easily look up the company of other guests, should you need it. Actually you can enjoy a bit of the best of both sides, the facilities of a hotel and the comfort of a villa. The most choice in this type of villa you will find in Seminyak and Ubud.

Post Edited (june17) : 4/16/2009 12:56:02 AM (GMT-6)
June, I understand the fatigue for sure! Those 2-day visits just totally wipe me out...and I go to Mayo which is about 4 miles from where I live! They have me on a 3-4 month checkup. My labs and CT last week were good, so I'm hoping maybe we can go to 6 mos. In my case, they are looking for cancer recurrence.
Next time around, I'd ask the hepatologist to explain to your husband the implications of the fatigue and encephalopathy in language he might understand. Unless you've gone through it, I don't think many people can really understand, but perhaps they can try with your husband.

Complaint Review: Telecheck

- Category: Customer
Telecheck Telecheck contact name Vin Telecheck/Walmart declined my business/personal checks for reasons that they wanted to update me Houston, Texas
*Consumer Comment: V. Wolfe, Maybe the fact that the Federal Reserve recently decided to inject another $600 BILLION into the banking system....
*General Comment: Hopefully the FTC will start sniffing around
*Consumer Comment: What year is this?
I recently (10/28/2010) shopped at my local Wal-mart in Portage WI. I do most of my shopping there for my childcare business. After I finished checking out the cashier had told me that my check had been declined, I proceeded to use a personal check instead of a company check and the same thing happened. I knew both of these accounts had more than enough money in them. Then I used my debit card and that was ok, the transaction from this card comes directly out of my checking account, the same account that my check was declined. Now Im not one who complains a lot but this is the third (3rd) time this has happened in about a year. The cashier gave me a slip with information on it to call telecheck, so I did. Just like the other 2 times the gentleman (Vin) on the phone took various personal information and told me to hold. After about 5 minutes he returned and said that my account was ok to use now, and that they just needed to up date information on me. I was furious about the fact that I was very embarrassed in line at my local Wal-Mart just so could get some info on me! He told me that this would never happen again, and I told him this was the 3rd time this had happened. I ended the call at that point.
I know that when a check has an insufficient fund return it usually ends up in a returned check database. I cant understand what gives them the right to put a stop on your accounts so you will call them and answer questions a your personal back ground. As far as Im concerned this is a form of harassment. Im not one to sick lawyers on people but telecheck really needs to be checked out.

If you have a debit card why did you write a check in the first place? You could get a debit card for your business. If you don't want to be embarrased about a check being declined, then use a debit card like everyone else from this century. Then you won't be using Telecheck.
There is no reason in this day and age for someone to slow down lines and have businesses risk your check bouncing when you could quickly guarantee their payment with a debit card. The day is coming when retail outlets won't accept checks at all.
What do you think a lawyer is going to do? It's fine that you consider this harassment, but I guarantee you the law doesn't. You can always choose not to do business with Wal-Mart and Telecheck if you feel "harassed".

2A magazine has been actively involved in introduction and promotion
of architects and their projects around various parts of Asia.
However, through this event, 2A magazine is aiming to create a
broader forum for Asian architects to interact, share and compete in
a totally friendly but professional manner. Asia which is the
largest continent with ancient, diverse, regionally specific and
unique cultural heritage, can be considered as the richest source
for architectural projects for both traditional and modern styles.
Despite this significance, Asia had not received its deserved
attention that is why 2A, as an Asian International magazine decided
to help to divert the attention of the world architects toward Asia,
and promote Asian architects and their projects.
" 2A Asia Architecture Award " which is intended to act as an
architectural foundation in Asia will present:
Theoretical visions in terms of culture, political views, economy,
history, customs and other social factors, Ideas from various
origins, Conceptualizations, The artistic and aesthetic criteria,
Sustainable architecture, Modern Life and Technology.

Charlotte, North Carolina (PressExposure) February 13, 2012 -- The Remi Group named its 2011 Employees of the Year. This award was given to outstanding employees who exemplify hard work, dedication, initiative, and go above and beyond to serve their clients. In 2011, there were two employees who distinguished themselves and set the standard for the entire organization.
The first is Tommy Beecher, Director of Pricing. After being promoted to this role, Tommy exceeded all expectations and skillfully led his team in meeting and exceeding all departmental objectives. He applied original thinking and challenged established norms to improve the performance of his unit and the overall company. He also represents the company well to producers, prospective clients, current clients, and external business partners.
The second is Liz Barnes, Dispatch Supervisor. After being promoted to Dispatch Supervisor, Liz immediately boosted teamwork and morale. Her leadership of the Dispatch Team delivered high levels of customer satisfaction and strong service vendor relationships. She works tirelessly and constantly strives to improve her unit and the company. She is an outstanding leader and always puts the customer first.
Both Tommy and Liz received a commemorative award for their office and gift card from The Remi Group's Executive Management Team; both were also recognized as Employees of the Year in the Charlotte Business Journal.
Since 1998, The Remi Group has successfully provided comprehensive Equipment Maintenance Management Programs (EMMP) for hospitals and healthcare organizations, research laboratories, large government entities including cities, counties, and entire states, major colleges and universities, large grocery store chains, banks, and credit unions. Our program consolidates existing service contracts under ONE comprehensive program eliminating the inefficiencies of multiple vendor service agreements. We provide a unique alternative to traditional vendor equipment service agreements.
Our program gives organizations the ability to analyze and effectively control electronic equipment assets while realizing significant savings on annual equipment maintenance budgets. Additionally, our program delivers benefits that are not typically available with service agreements. We specialize in providing quality service, technical resources, innovative management systems, and financially secure solutions. The Remi Group does not repair or maintain equipment; we allow our clients to use their preferred service provider. However, we do provide our customers with the tools, management systems, and support necessary to reduce their maintenance budget while improving equipment performance.

Lourensford Wine Estate, Helderberg Wine Route, Western Cape
Lourensford Wine Estate formed part of the Vergelegen farm which was established by Willem Adriaan van der Stel in the 17th century. Lourensford is steeped in history going way back to 1700 when it was separated from Vergelegen. Situated at the foot of the Helderberg Mountains, it is arguably one of the most beautiful wine estates in the world. The excellent soils and varied micro-climates create the perfect conditions for the creation of a diverse range of world-class wines.
The estate was purchased by the renowned South African business magnate, Dr. Christo Wiese, in 1998 and since then 300Ha of vines have been planted and an ultra modern cellar was completed in 2003. No expense has been spared to make Lourensford one of the leading wine estates in South Africa if not in the world. These outstanding wines have made their mark on the international market – the Lourensford 1700, a striking blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz, and the Lourensford Viognier, truly an exceptional and delightful Chardonnay-style wine.
Lourensford's scenic beauty has played host to many local and international film shoots, starring some of Hollywood's top actors. Not only do they host annual sports and cultural events with thousands of participants and spectators, but many a wedding reception and corporate function has been held on the estate. There is a sizeable equestrian establishment on the estate, with stabling as well as one of the only two polo fields in Cape Town.
The Restaurant is open daily from 08h00 until 17h00 and in addition to lunch a selection of delicious breakfasts and freshly baked treats such as chocolate brownies, scones and to die for cheese cake are served. The estate is open for wine tasting at the following times:
Monday – Sunday: 09h30 – 16h30
Public Holidays: 09h00 – 16h00
Cellar tours by appointment only.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I am interested in using your IoC library and have played around with it a bit.
I was wondering if you plan to implement the following feature (C#):
And then we can retrieve the concrete type for the interface as follows:
IFoo f = RootWorkItem.Items[typeof(IFoo)]
Are there any pitfalls that you know of for this particular feature.
I want this behaviour so I can easily change the implementation class for the interface
Without littering my code with factories.
Kind Regards
The problem with this is that the Items collection can contain 0-n items of any particular type, so RootWorkItem.Items[typeof(IFoo)] would have to return an array, not a single item.
If you only need one of the item, the Services collection already does exactly this:
RootWorkItem.Services.AddNew<Foo, IFoo>();
IFoo item = RootWorkItem.Services.Get<IFoo>();
If getting back a collection is OK, then the Items collection already can do it this way (with code I checked in yesterday).
Foo foo = new Foo;

text: Amusementpark.com has an article which addresses Disney's possible forray into pay-per-use full feature attractions. While this earlier concept may have been abandoned by Disney, it's ironic that it took SeawWorld's very bold, and I might add successful, move into this premium space(ala Discovery Cove) to serve as the catalyst to get companies like Disney and Universal to reconsider the whole idea. Just pray that DiscoveryCove continues to pack them in, as they've been doing since last July. Their success will ensure similar type of venues/attractions at our most beloved parks in the not too distant future.

An inflection point in the lighting and location industries is underway. There is an interesting revolution underway in lighting technology, as LED lights will be replacing incandescent and fluorescents around the world within next decade.
LED lights are the longest lasting and most cost effective form of lighting in the market today. LED lights are projected to be 80% of the market by 2020 according to industry estimates. The is an operational efficiency for LED lights as compared to incandescent or fluorescent lights over a ten-year period.
The question is how do marketers choose the right technology that not only scales, but also has the ability to be both cost effective and relevant over the next decade. There is a heightened awareness of the enormous potential of proximity marketing via smartphones today.
There are three companies; Qualcomm, Philips and ByteLight that have developed location technology that is embedded into the LED lighting fixtures. All a business needs to do is to install LED location lighting to enable in-store proximity targeting.
ByteLight provides a fully integrated proximity network over their entire store footprint. This means that every consumer action within stores that use ByteLight can be measured 24/7. This data can be analyzed within a single store, or by a group of stores. This allows companies to receive a real time view of the shopper's in-store experience. It also has the largest patent portfolio for this technology and is actively deploying the technology with both retailers and technology companies.
The LED lighting and location services are now at an inflection point. Brands have a once in a generation opportunity to save money, and to better understand the customer journey for the price of an LED light.
Dan Hodges is CEO of Consumers in Motion.

text: Boudoir photography has become one of my absolute favorite photography specialties. I gives me the chance to be creative in front of the camera and highlight a woman's natural beauty and sexiness through the lens. Laurel's session was very special for both of us as it was my very first boudoir portrait photography session as well as hers. Laurel is a writer and is writing a book on conquering fears (read more about it here), and this was one of her fears, being "exposed" in front of a camera. So with an adventurous heart and many ideas we jumped right in, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. Let me tell you that if she hadn't mentioned it was her first boudoir session, I wouldn't have believed her as she was so natural and sexy in front of the camera. So let's raise our glasses to conquering your fears, and if you are wondering if you should do a boudoir photography session, don't think about it anymore, just do it!

|How does the "lending" a book work on nookColor?
The bad news is you can only lend a book out one time for fourteen days. While the book is "lent" you can't read it. Amazon CEO calls this feature a joke but B&N claims 80% of book authors will allow lending. It's a nice feature to have and opens up the door to electronic lending - a great thing.

Istanbul named the Best city in Europe
- Published by Vedat
Voters from the magazine's 4.8 million readers placed Istanbul ahead of Paris, Venice and London in the European category, while the city finished second in the worldwide category. Turkey welcomed 31.78 million international visitors in 2012, and that number has continued to rise in 2013. This June saw a 4.93% year-on-year increase in the total number of visitors to Turkey. The latest update to Turkey's 2023 Master Plan anticipates that by 2020 nearly 50 million tourists will be visiting the country annually – not including the potential influx of Olympic tourists should Istanbul win the right to host the 2020 Games.
Hasan Arat, Chairman of Istanbul 2020, said, "Istanbul's appeal has never been higher and I am delighted my home city has been voted the No. 1 destination to visit in Europe. There is a reason Hollywood films and best-selling books are regularly set here – audiences all over the world are captivated by the magic of Istanbul. But it is even better in real life, and I can guarantee Istanbul's iconic city-scape will inspire athletes to deliver their own moments of cinematic brilliance and create Games history."
Turkish Airlines, an Istanbul 2020 sponsor, is already feeling the effect of this tourism boom through a 26% increase in passengers carried in the first half of 2013. With Istanbul's enduring appeal as a meeting point of European and Asian cultures, the airline is also planning to almost double its fleet from 228 aircraft to 415 by 2020.

As of this week, two of my videos were attacked by a swarm of manginas and feminists in the last two days. I'm assuming most of the users are American. The comment thread on two of these videos are proof. The only reason these people are attacking me is because they are defending one American girl , known as Krista Heflin (aka The Femitheist Divine) who spoke of castration of men and speaking against MRA's.
The point I made is this woman's past videos and blogs make her look bad. Even some of her current videos makes her look bad. I don't care about the bad ratings nor the negativity I'm receiving on both of these videos. I ended up in a rough fight in my threads last night to keep the trolls off.
I'm only posting this and keeping my videos and comments open for one reason, which is a warning to men who are having trouble dating here. This is proof that there is no change coming in America. Men who don't know and are hurting in the dating world in America need to get their passports and start traveling now! Other than that, I don't have time to argue with manginas and feminists who just can't grow up and want to act like school girls who carry this delusion that they're still in high school. I don't need the drama.

April 1996
By What Authority
Corporations for the Seventh Generation:
Changing the Ground Rules, Part 1
Jane Anne Morris (April, 1996)
(Rachel's Environment & Health Weekly #488 Providing news and resources for environmental justice - April 4, 1996)
The people who founded this nation didn't fight a war so that they could have a couple of "citizen representatives" sitting in on meetings of the British East India Company. They carried out a revolution in order to be free of oppression: corporate, governmental, or otherwise; and to replace it with democratic self-government.
It seems that things have slipped a little. Today, as soon as any group or movement puts together a coherent critique of the role of corporations, tongues start clucking. Politicians, mainstream reformers, degreed experts, and media commentators fall all over each other in an effort to dismiss such clear, practical, focused thinking as mere "conspiracy theories" cooked up by unbalanced "crackpots."
They forget that 17th century political philosopher Thomas Hobbes called corporations "worms in the body politic."2 Adam Smith condemned them for their effect in curtailing "natural liberty."3 And most of the so called "founding fathers" of this nation shared an opinion of corporations that today would earn them the label "lunatic fringe" from the same mainstream tongue cluckers.4
Those who won independence from England hated corporations as much as they hated the King. For it was through state-chartered corporations that the British government carried out some of its most pernicious oppression. Governments extending their power by means of corporations, and corporations themselves taking on the powers of government, are not new problems.
Because they were well aware of the track record of government-chartered corporations, and because they guarded their freedom so jealously, citizens of the newly independent United States of America chartered only a handful of corporations in the several decades after independence.5
On those few occasions when states did charter a corporation, "the powers which the corporation might exercise in carrying out its purposes were sparingly conferred and strictly construed."6
But inevitably, the generation that had fought against injustices perpetrated by corporations like the British East India Company and the Hudson Bay Company was followed by others whose memories of corporate oppression were less vivid. Still, the warnings against corporations continued.
On the eve of his becoming Chief Justice of Wisconsin's Supreme Court, Edward G. Ryan said ominously in 1873, "[There] is looming up a new and dark power... the enterprises of the country are aggregating vast corporate combinations of unexampled capital, boldly marching, not for economical conquests only, but for political power... The question will arise and arise in your day, though perhaps not fully in mine, which shall rule-wealth or man [sic]; which shall lead-money or intellect; who shall fill public stations-educated and patriotic freemen, or the feudal serfs of corporate capital...."7
The feudal serfs of corporate capital made a lot or headway during the next fifteen years. But in 1888 President Grover Cleveland echoed Justice Ryan's sentiments:
"Corporations, which should be the carefully restrained creatures of the law and the servants of the people, are fast becoming the people's masters"8
Well into the twentieth century corporate excesses were acknowledged and condemned by some pretty prominent persons. Louis D. Brandeis, a multimillionaire (from his own law practice and astute investments) by the time he became a Supreme Court Justice in 1916, referred to corporations as "the Frankenstein monster which States have created by their corporation laws."9
Far from being "radical," harsh criticism of corporations has a long, respectable, and mainstream political lineage. Now that you know you're in good company, let's dream a little. Imagine what grassroots environmental activism would be like if corporations were restructured to be responsive to the people and to serve the public interest.
What if..
corporations were required to have a clear purpose, to be fulfilled but not exceeded.10
corporations' licenses to do business were revocable by the state legislature if they exceeded or did not fulfill their chartered purpose(s).11
the state legislature could revoke a corporation's charter for a particular reason, or for no reason at all.12
the act of incorporation did not relieve corporate management or stockholders/owners of responsibility or liability for corporate acts.13
as a matter of course, corporation officers, directors, or agents could be held criminally liable for violating the law.14
state (not federal) courts heard cases where corporations or their agents were accused of breaking the law or harming the public.15
directors of the corporation were required to come from among stockholders.16
corporations had to have their headquarters and meetings in the state where their principal place of business was located.17
corporation charters were granted for a specific period of time, like 20 or 30 years (instead of being granted "in perpetuity," as is now the practice).18
corporations were prohibited from owning stock in other corporations in order to prevent them from extending their power inappropriately.19
corporations' real estate holdings were limited to what was necessary to carry out their specific purpose(s).20
corporations were prohibited from making any political contributions, direct or indirect.21
corporations were prohibited from making charitable or civic donations outside of their specific purposes.22
state legislatures set the rates that corporations could charge for their products or services.23
all corporation records and documents were open to the legislature or the state attorney general.24
All of these provisions were once law in the state of Wisconsin. And similar ones existed in most other states.
There is no reason why grassroots activists cannot insist that we once again impose similar laws to direct corporate actions. But because education and media corporations are silent about the power of the sovereign people literally to dictate terms to corporations, we instead spend our time fighting in regulatory agencies and courts where the odds are against us from the get-go.
Much activism today concerns itself with struggling to induce government agencies to enforce their own laws,or exerting superhuman efforts to close gaping loopholes in existing laws. When we're not doing that, we're perhaps trying to add an obviously toxic chemical to a list of prohibited substances. Or maybe we're trying to coax a corporation that profited greatly from poisoning our air and water to pay for even a small portion of the cleanup costs.
One reason that we the sovereign people don't know our own strength is that too often we think of corporations and business as more or less synonymous. But corporations are not simply big businesses. You don't need a corporate charter to sell apples on the corner, or to operate a widget factory. Individuals, sole proprietorships, partnerships and other business form can do business without obtaining a corporate charter from a state. Corporations are a special case.
A corporate charter granted by a state gives special privileges not possessed by other businesses. And in return, the state retains the power to alter, amend, or repeal said charter. The legislature of a state thus possesses not only the power to grant charters but to revoke them. This power is laid out in what is called the "reserved power clause," and is explicitly spelled out in the laws or constitution of almost every state. Corporations are all set up by states to serve a "public need" and act "in the public interest." This is a long established doctrine.
The corporation, insofar as it is a legal entity. is a creation of the state... It is presumed to be incorporated for the benefit of the public.25
Corporations are instrumentalities of the state, not independent entities. How have we strayed so far from this notion?
Next week, we will outline some of the legal doctrines that were built up as obstacles to the sovereign people's ability to direct corporate actions. Then we will explore the potential of specific provisions-similar to the ones enumerated above-that we can add to state constitutions, corporation laws, or corporate charters themselves, to reclaim our historic right to make corporations serve the public interest.

Corporations for the Seventh Generation:
Changing the Ground Rules, Part 2
Jane Anne Morris (April, 1996)
(originally published in Rachel's Environment & Health Weekly #489 Providing news and resources for environmental justice - ApriI 11, 1996)
[Note: This is second of two articles that explore strategies for going beyond the usual calls for "corporate accountability." (Part 1 appeared in REHW #488.) The author is part of a movement, already taking root in over a dozen states, that advocates retaking the historic right of the sovereign people to determine and direct corporate action.]
In view of the historic provisions that used to govern corporations (see REHW #488), their representatives must be pleased that at least in this country, boycotts and divestment strategies are considered radical, and "dialoguing" is the preferred mode of interaction. The rest of this paper is an exploration of ways to restructure today's corporation so that citizen activist efforts to eliminate corporate wrongs can amount to more than just a few hard-won needles in a corporate haystack.
As we saw last week, corporations are a special form of business entity given a state charter and certain privileges in exchange for being subject to the will of the sovereign people as expressed through state legislatures.
Over the last half a dozen generations, corporation representatives have managed to set up barriers to insulate the corporation from citizen influence. Several trends have made it more difficult to direct the corporation towards serving the public interest it was created to serve. Among them:
Under cover of the U.S. Constitution's "commerce" clause2 as interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court, federal regulatory agencies have usurped many of the powers once exercised regularly by state legislatures. Today's corporations are ideally suited to wage battles on the regulatory front, because it is so difficult for citizens' groups to match their resources.3 (In many ways, the late 19th century ascendance of the "commerce" argument is an eerie foreshadowing of today's NAFTA and GATT controversies.)
Through a series of leveraged expansions of the "diversity clause" of the U.S. Constitution4 (allowing "citizens" from two different states to be heard in federal court instead of the presumably more biased courts of either's home state), the U.S. Supreme Court "deemed corporations "citizens" and thus gave them nearly unrestricted access to federal courts.5 This saved corporations the trouble of defending themselves in the courts of the state where they actually cause the harms.
In 1886 the U.S. Supreme Court decreed that corporations are "persons" under the 14th amendment, thus granting them protection under the Bill of Rights.6 Such guarantees of free speech, due process, and equal protection under the law were long considered to apply to human persons. This ruling gave corporations unprecedented "rights" to question almost any law applied to them, and frustrated the ability of the people to direct corporate action in service of the public good.
Stockholders, who used to really run corporations, have seen their power dramatically reduced. Today the powerful corporate manager class is insulated from stockholder influence by a variety of stock voting tricks and governance structures that they themselves set up. They are protected from most liability by state corporation codes and lax laws and enforcement. And they write their own paychecks.7
In order to have a world that we would not be ashamed to bequeath to the Seventh Generation, we must make two major changes in the governance of the corporation. First, we must remove obstacles to citizen control of the corporation. Second, we must reinstate provisions such as those (enumerated in REHW #488) once governing corporations, and add others that are particularly suited to our times.
"Model" provisions can become part of 1) state constitutions, 2) state corporation codes and/or 3) the actual corporate "charters," which are the documents states give to corporations to formally bring them into existence. A program to institute such changes would include areas such as the following:
People's power over corporations.
We the people can demand that state legislatures, the most direct expression of the people's will, use their "reserved power" to revoke the charters of errant domestic corporations. (A domestic corporation is one chartered in that state.) The people of Delaware and a few other states with "easy" chartering policies would have a more exciting time than the rest of us here, since the overwhelming majority of offending (U.S.) multinational corporations are chartered there.
In other states, citizens can demand that their attorneys general (or whatever agent is specified in their state laws and constitutions) revoke the permission of errant foreign corporations to do business in their state. (A foreign corporation is one chartered in another state in the U.S. Those chartered in other countries are called alien corporations.) Such actions have already been initiated against Weyerhaeuser, WMX (formerly Waste Management, Inc.), and CSX corporations.8 (See REHW #455.)
Annul "rights" given corporations by judge-made law. We can work for state constitutional amendments that underline corporations' status as subservient to the people and the legislatures, and assert that corporations are not legal constitutional "persons" and thus are not protected by the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution.
Re-open corporate affairs to legislative scrutiny. At one time, all corporate records and affairs were open to legislatures or other designated state officials so that state governments, on behalf of the people, could monitor and evaluate corporate actions. We can reinstate such provisions in state corporation codes.
Reinstate stockholder/owner control over corporate management and policy. For decades, concerned stockholders have attempted to curb some of the worst excesses of corporate policies, only to find their efforts thwarted by corporate management. We can modify states' corporation codes to return a modicum of control of corporations to their putative owners, the stockholders. Some basic provisions might include a) a one stockholder, one vote policy, b) prohibitions against issuing non-voting stock, c) removal of obstacles to stockholders' access to information, initiation of policies, and removal of unsatisfactory corporate management.
Give state courts clear authority to hear all corporation cases. State courts, more sensitive to local needs and conditions and more accessible to citizens, once heard most corporation cases. During the last years of the nineteenth century, numerous unsuccessful attempts were made at the federal level to reinstate this practice. Both federal legislation and federal constitutional amendments were proposed. Either one would do the trick.
Reinstate historic limits on corporations. State corporation codes and/or corporate charters amended to include provisions such as the following: a) Require corporations to have a specific purpose, with a penalty of charter revocation if said purpose is either not fulfilled or is exceeded. This would include a prohibition on the kind of "look how ethical we are" advertising that currently dissipates stockholders' dollars and discombobulates public perceptions. b) Require a percentage of stockholders to live within the chartering state. c) Prohibit corporations from owning stock in other corporations. d) Issue corporate charters for only a specific term of existence, perhaps ten or twenty years. e) Limit real estate holdings to that necessary for corporate purposes. f) Prohibit any and all political donations by corporations. g) Prohibit all civic, charitable, or educational donations not specifically provided for in the corporate purpose. h) Impose strict liability for all corporate officers and/or stockholders.
Initiate new limits on corporate activities. We can add provisions (to state codes, charters, and/or constitutions) that:
Forbid corporations from doing business under pseudonyms or alternative names.
Require corporations to use earth-friendly materials in all stages of operations, and to list all ingredients.
Prohibit corporations from buying up patents for the purpose of preventing others from exploiting them.
Require every corporate document to be signed by a human being who thereby takes responsibility for the veracity of statements and the soundness of judgments therein.
Require a corporation to pay for periodic health, safety, and environmental audits by independent experts selected by workers and affected communities.
Require that in the event of bankruptcy, corporate management pay and perks be withheld until all other debts and creditors are paid, starting with workers and small businesses.
Require 95% recycling.
Prohibit corporations from seeking or accepting "incentive" packages from any government entity.
Establish a maximum ratio (like 1:5) between compensation of the lowest-paid worker and the highest-paid executive.
Establish a process similar to "recall" procedures for elected officials, so that citizens can initiate revocation referendums [or corporate charters (in the case of domestic corporations) and for certificates of authority (that allow foreign corporations to do business in one's state).
Require uniformity of health benefits within each corporation for all corporation employees (from CEOs to wage-laborers).
This is just a sampling of some of the options open to us. Priorities might include working to revoke corporate charters, to end The privileges granted corporations under the judicial "corporate personhood" doctrine, and to prohibit political contributions. Most of the obstacles we face are in the arena of judge-made law, but historic legislation and constitutional provisions offer us a solid body of favorable precedents. Much debate lies ahead. But it is high time we shifted the controversy from whether we control corporations to how we do so.
The sky's the limit. What are we waiting for?

Sometimes I wear glasses.
I pretty much love music of all kind- folk, indie, rock, electronic, reggae, etc.
Interested in sustainability; when I grow up I would like to live in an eco-village in the mountains.
I enjoy dancing, dive bars, a good beer or caipirinha.
Existence > essence.
Your life is what you make of it.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfed around the world for the first time 4 years ago and haven't stopped loving the CS world.
I've hosted in Montreal and still surfing around the world.
Had numerous amazing couchsurfing experiences in my gap year before university and met some really special people. Now I'm trying to connect with like-minded travelers (and people in general!).
In short, AMAZING
Getting hopelessly and totally lost in a new city.
Hiking up a mountain for 6 hours then seeing the most glorious sunset.
Walking in Montreal's Plateau area.
Sitting in the sun.

Music, Movies, and Books
Yes, Yes, and Yes please!
folk, indie, rock, pop, world, electronic, reggae...
all and any kind of music.
Independent movies for the most part, zero-budget videos, thrillers featuring Matt Damon, and of course, cheesy romantic comedies
I read A LOT. Seriously.
One Amazing Thing I've Done

Living in a village in rural Cambodia.
