The theme for March-April 2010:

FUEL

Gluttony is the source of all our infirmities, and the fountain of all our diseases. As a lamp is choked by a superabundance of oil, a fire extinguished by excess of fuel, so is the natural health of the body destroyed by intemperate diet.
(Robert Burton, author and clergyman, 1577–1640)  

Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. . . .It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.
(Andrew Carnegie, industrialist and philanthropist, 1835–1919)  

The more we pour the big machines, the fuel, the pesticides, the herbicides, the fertilizer and chemicals into farming, the more we knock out the mechanism that made it all work in the first place.
(David R. Brower, environmentalist, 1912–2000)  

A creative economy is the fuel of magnificence.
(Ralph Waldo Emerson, poet and author, 1803–1882)

Without inspiration the best powers of the mind remain dormant; there is a fuel in us which needs to be ignited with sparks.
(Johann Gottfried von Herder, philosopher and poet, 1744–1803)

Deadline for the
March-April issue is February 3.
