  8. Dog Owners: Xylitol Found in Certain Peanut and Nut Butters Xylitol can be found in many products, including gum, breath mints, candy, jams, and children’s vitamins. And of special concern to dog lovers, xylitol can even be found in certain brands of peanut butter, a popular human food for dogs. (Xylitol can kill your dog or cause permanent liver damage) So far, mainstream peanut butter brands haven’t started using xylitol—only these specialty brands include it in their formulations: Nuts ‘N More, Hank’s Protein Plus Peanut Butter, P28, Krush Nutrition, and Go Nuts, Co. The subtle presence of xylitol in these butters definitely highlights the importance of reading ingredient labels on products you bring into your home. (compiled from various websites)

American Minute with Bill Federer "Sea to Shining Sea" - God in 50 State Constitutions Almost chosen as the National Anthem in 1926, "America the Beautiful" was written by Katherine Lee Bates, born AUGUST 12, 1859. Her poem was printed in The Congregationalist for Independence Day, July 4, 1895: O Beautiful for Spacious Skies, For Amber Waves of Grain, For Purple Mountain Majesties Above the Fruited Plain! America! America! God Shed His Grace on Thee And Crowned Thy Good With Brotherhood From Sea to Shining Sea! O Beautiful for Pilgrims Feet, Whose Stern Impassioned Stress A Thoroughfare for Freedom Beat Across the Wilderness! America! America!

  10. There is a proper way to educate young people, and today's education system has moved away from those methods. In this free digital version of his popular book Liberty and Learning, Larry P.

  12. Found this on a friend's FaceBook feed today. ================== Spring also brings flowers. And pollen. And if you suffer at all from allergies, you’ll want to know about switchel. Also known as Harvest Drink, Harvest Beer, Swanky, Haymakers Punch, and a host of other aliases, switchel is a refreshing beverage that has been fortifying the American immune system since at least the founding of this nation. This is a remarkably refreshing beverage that I would easily make any time of the year. The vinegar and the ginger give it a nice bite, while the molasses keeps it from being overpowering. I can see the centuries-old appeal of switchel. You don’t need to heat anything. You’re using ingredients that don’t need to be prepared. It comes together quickly and can be stored for a decent amount of time. The variations on switchel can be plentiful. Let your imagination guide you and once you’ve tried it on its own, play with it. Remember that each household made it to their own tastes. Harvest Drink. Mix with five gallons of good water, half a gallon of molasses, one quart of vinegar, and two ounces of powdered ginger. This will make not only a very pleasant beverage, but one highly invigorating and healthful. Reduced Adaptation: 5 cups of cold water ½ cup of blackstrap molasses ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar (preferably raw, unfiltered) 3 tablespoons ground ginger Mix ingredients thoroughly. Store in jars, jugs or bottles. Shake before serving. Serve cold. From Practical American Cookery and Domestic Economy, Elizabeth Hall (Miller, Orton & Co: New York, 1853) [Link to 1860 edition] Full article here: http://www.americantable.org/2014/05/recipe-switchel-1853/

  14. I see NO reason for making changes--period. It is only being done for "political correctness." Previews of the bill show that the only change is in the image on the bill: there are no additional safety measured, anti-counterfeit measures, etc. It is just another way for the POTUS to cause more racial, ethnic, and gender tension within the US. (It may also be a way to find out who has been "hoarding" cash as they may decide to 'update' their paper money supply.)
  15. You have to have a Kindle UNLIMITED acct to get the free download. O.o
