How to keep Berries Fresh.  The key to preventing moldy berries...
Berries are delicious, but they're also kind of delicate.  Raspberries in
particular seem like they can mold before you even get them home from
the market. 
There's nothing more tragic than paying $4+ for a pint of local
raspberries, blackberries, or peaches, (or strawberries!) only to
look in the fridge the next day and find that fuzzy mold growing
on their insides and outsides!
Well, with fresh berries just starting to hit farmers markets, we can
tell you how to keep them fresh!  Here's a tip I'm sharing on how to
prevent them from getting there in the first place:  Wash them with
vinegar!
When you get your berries home, prepare a mixture of one part vinegar (white
probably works best, but apple works too) and ten parts water.  Dump the
berries into the mixture and swirl around.  Drain, rinse if you want (though
the mixture is so diluted you can't taste the vinegar), put in a ziplock bag, and
pop in the fridge.  The vinegar kills any mold spores and other bacteria that
might be on the surface of the fruit, and voila!  Raspberries will last a week or
more, and strawberries go almost two weeks without getting moldy and soft.
 
So go forth and stock up on those pricey little gems, knowing they'll stay fresh
as long as it takes you to eat them.
Happy berry eating!

Thus spake the prophet Archie Bunker

Few knew at the time that Archie was speaking the truth.
Now you hear the same words from the mouth of our president.

Suppressed hunting rifle ok in Texas

Texas: Use of Lawfully-Owned Suppressors While Hunting Legalized in the Lone
Star State
Thank You to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission and NRA
Members!
Today, after hearing your support for this NRA-backed common sense hunting reform, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission voted unanimously to legalize suppressor use while hunting.
The benefits associated with suppressor use include increased accuracy due to reduced recoil and muzzle blast, protection from hearing damage and reduced noise pollution.
Prior to the adoption of this rule, lawfully-possessed suppressors were permitted for all other shooting activities besides hunting game animals, including the taking of nuisance species. The
adoption of this common sense proposal by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department helps in other states where the NRA is involved with similar pro-hunting measures. Legislatures in Oklahoma and Georgia are currently considering similar measures and Arizona has recently passed one which would enhance hunting opportunities because of the many benefits that
suppressors provide.
The NRA strongly supported this regulation change to allow for the use of lawfully-owned suppressors for hunting in Texas.
There is an incredible amount of misinformation on what suppressors do and how they may be acquired. Suppressors are not "silencers," as depicted in typical Hollywood action films. While suppressors do not eliminate the sound of a firearm, they do reduce the muzzle report in a manner similar to the way that a muffler reduces exhaust noise from a vehicle.
Noise complaints are being used more frequently as an excuse to close shooting ranges, informal shooting areas, and hunting lands throughout the country. Increased use of suppressors
will help to eliminate many of these complaints and protect hunting and shooting areas well into the future.

Bill to impeach Obama gets scant coverage

March 13 2012
Calling it the most important story he’s covered in 17 years, talk show host Alex Jones is furious over the mainstream media’s skimpy coverage of a bill to impeach President Obama.“You’d think that would be news, wouldn’t you?” Jones said during a video report. “No, there’s a blackout on it.”Rep. Walter B. Jones Jr., (R-N.C.), introduced a resolution that declares it is an “impeachable high crime and misdemeanor” for the president to leverage offensive wars without permission from Congress, as provided under Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution.Continue reading on Examiner.com Bill calls for impeachment of Obama - National Alex Jones Examiner.com http://www.examiner.com/alex-jones-in-national/bill-calls-for-impeachment-of-obama#ixzz1qC9S2AeQ
