Very yummy! A hit with both my 7 year old and I!
Very easy and delicious! I used chicken sausages and served with spaghetti. We enjoyed it with salad and red wine and made for a very tasty meal.
This is a great recipe. You can add so many twist to this to fit your family's tastes. I put 2 cleaned jalapeno peppers and 1 whole mild green chili and 1/2 a vidalia onion in the blender and pulsed about 4 times. I then added this mixture to the marinara sauce. I also used hot sausage like others suggested.
Like one of the reviewers said, Hot Italian Sausage would really make this pop! A very easy recipe but so good everytime. Those pictures posted by Bergy are great too. Thanks for sharing!
I love sausage & peppers and this recipe didn't let me down. I used Marsala wine that really mellowed out the peppers and added a pinch of chili flakes. I had some cooked noodles that I added right into the pan. Very enjoyable dinner - Thanks for posting
I used hot Italian sausage, and 2 green peppers and 1 large onion in mine. I used spaghetti sauce in place of the marinara sauce. I left out the wine and sugar and used Italian seasoning in place of the oregano. Came out great. We put in sub rolls and ate along with some homemade french fries. Delicious! Thanks for sharing Erin!
This was an excellent dish. It is now burned into my memory of taste. I'll be making this again and again.
Perfect balance of flavor and color. Delicious

These attacks are strong enough to get a 1 gig ram celeron processor with 2-3 sites on its knees!
These attacks are strong enough to get a 1 gig ram celeron processor with 2-3 sites on its knees!
Most automated spam attempts will be stopped dead by Bad Behavior.
Add Spam Karma or Akismet and most spam will be dealt with.
this is when all the comments are turned off. they are just hitting the comment file directly.
i tried renaming the file. deleting it. still the server goes down after a while!
looks like a ddos attack. :(
Use Bad Behavior. It blocks attempts to access that file.
Other than that, it comes down to blocking IP addresses at the firewall or router level, before the attacks can hit the server.
i use mod_security and helps quite a bit - even tracks down requests made through rogue proxy servers. i monitor several hundred WP/G2 sites and that Apache server status page is very useful indeed - in addition to randomly issuing a "tail -f" on log files generated by Apache and/or loaded modules.
track the IP, see what Google or other search engines have to say (very useful too), do a whois then depending on the ISP, country of origin or ip-block/range owner - make a decision to add a firewall ruleset to deny request or just let the spam-plugins do the work. i wish there was a single solution to wp-comments.php flooding, but there isn't, and probably never will be. layered approach for the time being. :)
one question...
can we block direct access to this wp-comments-post.php file through .htaccess. the file is supposed to be accessed by the comment form on the blog post page.
would that lessen the load on the server?
This plugin might be of some interest
well i have comments disabled. so they are just hitting the server with no end results. the accesses leading to connections with mysql is killing the server. :P
that's why i thought abt the htaccess file. maybe that would reduce the load by preventing access to mysql. :|
i am kinda ignorant about the comment posting procedure so this post might sound lame.
So the plugin is now be able to block POST requests only on wp-comments-post.php and keep your weblog a little more spam-free.
this part looks interesting. :P
Take a look at this page in Codex!
Especially the part on blocking no referrer requests with .htaccess.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .wp-comments-post.php*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*yourdomain.com.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule (.*) ^http://%{REMOTE_ADDR}/$ [R=301,L]
about this... how do i set this code for a site where blogs are located in subdomains...
should i put this code in the base folder's htaccess file or should i put it in all the subdomains?
and for a particular subdomain, what value should i put in this statement:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*yourdomain.com.* [OR]
You really want to stop this at the firewall, before it hits Apache. Once it hits Apache, it can really muck things up. Talk to your server admin about the options available to you (APF, etc.).
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .wp-comments-post.php*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*yourdomain.com.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule (.*) ^http://%{REMOTE_ADDR}/$ [R=301,L]
thats originally my invention, btw. I take the credit, thanks.
subdomains are already handled by :
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*yourdomain.com.* [OR]
www. is a subdomain for example.
The easiest way for someone that has directories that are also subdomains that are also blogs is to use the fully qualified URL of the site(s), ie:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} "!^http://sub.domain.org/.*$" [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ".*wp-comments-post.php$"
RewriteRule .* - [F]
And that, those 3 lines, would go inside the same .htaccess that resides in the same directory with your sub-domain'd blogs wp-config.php
the above is much simpler for a cpl reasons.
1. spammers dont send http_get requests to wp-comments.php. They know it requires an http_post. So checking to see if its a post is redundant. By the same token, and http_get sent to wp-comments.php does nothing. Precisely why you wont see it.
2. The example in the codex checks the ua. thats dumb. The ua is unimportant.
3. the 301 is a redirect back to the IP. Ive used that in the past, and I dont not reccommend it but this is worth considering ....
a.)99.999% of the time, that IP is going to be an anonymous proxy. The spamming script will not, therefore, not see that traffic.
b. They see a 301, which is a redirect, not a 403. Since there is no knowing whether or not a particular spammer, using a particular script is checking .. I err on the side that they might -- and honestly, I want them to know they got a 403 from me. A 403 is definitive, a 301 means that their spam might have gone through. A 403 tells them they failed.
c. a and b are a waste of space and time.
I'm a dummy - is this a plug in? Is that where the file is uploaded to?
is "what" a plugin?
what is an .htaccess:
original topic off my blog:
I noticed "the idea" was added to the codex less than 3 weeks later. :O and while credit for some other things on that page was originally given to the people that suggested them, macmanax appers to have not ever mentioned me. hmph.
Ive given examples before:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://([^.]+.)?yourdomain.org/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ".*wp-register.php$"
RewriteRule .* - [F]
Ideally, no-one needs to access your registration page if they're not coming from your domain ... The uses for things like this are endless. :)
lastly, mac made an error,
RewriteRule (.*) ^http://%{REMOTE_ADDR}/$ [R=301,L]
is incorrect and wont redirect correctly.
this is the proper way:
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://%{REMOTE_ADDR}/ [R=301,L]
These maggots are making any real function of the net all but impossible to the point they are themselves going to force government intervention to the point of restricting access. Already, the moment they enter your script without authorization they have committed a felony in all 50 states and federal jurisdiction. More and more local police agencies are working with federal agencies including the FBI Electronic Crimes Division and the FCC Wire Fraud Division and frankly, I fully support somebody stepping in and stopping these LEECHES, POND SCUM from making life miserable for virtually everyone.
I have had my family website hacked dozens of times and I support cutting the fingers off with wire cutters so hackers would have to type with their elbows. It may not stop hacking, but it should slow it down a bit.

The Stroller: Use your brain
Published: Sunday, July 28, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 26, 2013 at 4:44 p.m.
There was a rumble the other day on Zanzibar, an island off the coast of Tanzania in East Africa. It was Marian Hart, a former Spartanburg County resident, reacting to Robert Hansen's criticisms of President Barack Obama's expensive trip to Africa. Ms. Hart, who spends her time between Boiling Springs and Zanzibar, says she later was overjoyed to read in The Stroller column that someone in addition to herself can realize the logic behind the president's visit. "Either put your brain in motion or do your research before you form a conclusion," she tells the critics. "One of President Obama's goals in the trip to Africa is to build partnerships for economic development on the African continent. If he is successful, this will translate into jobs for American citizens. The African continent will be dependent on the expertise of American citizens to complete certain projects. An example is the replacement of the underwater cable that provides electricity from the mainland of Tanzania to the island of Zanzibar, which is located off the coast of Tanzania. One of the main contractors for this project is Pike Electric, a company based out of North Carolina. This is revenue coming back into the U.S. economy."
MEET JASE ROBERTSON: Jimmy Thomas of Roebuck has good news for Jack Rutter and other "Duck Dynasty" fans. Jase Robertson of the A&E channel show is coming to Spartanburg. And his appearance will be for a very worthwhile cause. Mr. Thomas explains: "My beautiful 2-year-old granddaughter, Ivy Thomas, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis shortly after birth and has been fighting this terrible disease every day since. Her parents, Jason and Julie Thomas, as well as many other family members and friends, have dedicated themselves to raising funds for research to find a cure for this life-threatening disease. As a result of tireless efforts, they have convinced Jase to come to the Spartanburg Expo Center on Oct. 27 and speak at a dinner event for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. This is a rare opportunity for a chance to meet Jase, enjoy a great dinner and win some awesome prizes. Information and tickets are available online at huntingacure.com."
ODDS AND ENDS: The Stroller Cookbook Luncheon is returning to the Spartanburg Soup Kitchen on Aug. 25 with dishes prepared from more recipes from the cookbook than ever — just more reasons to get a ticket before they're all gone. Folks attending the event also will have the chance to bid on some nifty items at the silent auction. The cost of a ticket for the buffet meal is $15, and tickets are available at the Herald-Journal, Darie Dreme on Highway 9 in Boiling Springs and the Spartanburg Soup Kitchen at 136 S. Forest St. The luncheon will feature two seatings — 10:45 a.m.-noon and 12:15-1:30 p.m. — so be sure to get the ticket that suits your dining preference. For more information, call 585-0022.

Nappy changing guide
When to change a nappy
In the first couple of months, you may find yourself changing nappies up to 10 times in 24 hours. Nappies should be changed whenever they are wet or soiled. Your baby will often (but not always) let you know.
Here are some common times for changing nappies:
- Right before or right after every feeding
- After every bowel movement
- Before bedtime
- When your baby wakes up
- When you go out with your baby
The art of changing nappies
Pampers nappies are designed to adjust to your baby's shape for a snug, comfortable fit. While changing nappies there's no need to fold the waistband in or out or to adjust the leg cuffs.
- Place tabs parallel to the waistband and centered on the character strip
- Use the characters as guides to ensure the fasteners are evenly spaced
- Keep baby products such as powder away from the fasteners so they maintain their stickiness
Wiping baby bottoms
All Pampers wipes clean gently and return the skin to its natural pH even after a wet change. Have a supply handy while changing nappies to help keep your baby clean and fresh. For baby girls, while changing nappies always wipe from front to back to minimize the amount of stool material that gets near her genitals. Also, be careful to clean all areas, as the folds in the skin around her genitals can hide urine and soil.
Finding the right size
Just like you, babies like to wear things that fit just right. Choose a size that does not sag or gap, even as your baby crawls and plays. This will help prevent leaks. Each product description on this site gives guidelines that represent the average weight for a particular size. And remember, when you move up a size, you gain absorbency.
Safe nappying
You buy the latest toys and babies wind up playing with silly things - like nappies. It's important to keep nappies where they should be, on your baby's bottom. Don't let your baby put the nappy in her mouth. Discard any nappy that has become torn or unsealed, and read the warning label on all bags.
Waste removal
As the Pampers bag recommends, you'll want to dispose of the bowel movements in the toilet. Then just roll the nappy into its backsheet, using the tape or fasteners to keep it closed, and dispose of it in your household rubbish.
Pampers Nappy Sizes Overview
To avoid danger of suffocation and/or strangulation, keep all packaging material away from babies and children.See all Product Description

These are great quality too! My kid needs changed literally half as much with these because they absorb so much!
and you can have these delivered to your door every month, that's just so easy!
She seems to be very comfortable in them, and there have been no leaks. I don't think that they would hold as much as a normal nappy, but that is t really the point of them. They are perfect for our needs which are simply for occasions where we don't want any accidents.

Cranberry Lemon Fruit Dip
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 0 mins
This is a fruit dip recipe that I've had on file for decades [well, several, anyway!].
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt
- 2⁄3 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1⁄2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1⁄4 teaspoon lemon juice
- Mix all the ingredients & chill.
- Serve with apple wedges, banana slices & other fruit.
Most Helpful
Oh so eassy, and most important, A DELIGHTFUL dip we enjoyed with banana slices during the super bowl. Great great flavoring here too. Made for 1-2-3 hits.
Delicious dip! I made half a recipe but used a 6 oz container of vanilla nonfat yogurt. I really liked that this had lemon zest instead of orange like many cranberry recipes do. I could eat the dip by itself. :D Thanks for the great recipe, Syd!
This was pretty good. Tangy and refreshing. Maybe could have used a little sugar, but that is just personal taste so I am still giving this 5 stars because I will be making it again! Thanks Sydney Mike for posting this! Made for Newest Zaar Tag. :)

Caron Butler scored 20 points, Dirk Nowitzki had 17 and the Dallas Mavericks became the latest team to topple the reconstructed Orlando Magic in a 105-99 victory Tuesday night.
Tyson Chandler added 16 points to help the Mavericks pull away
in the fourth quarter for their 16th win in 17 games. A night after
winning at Miami, they shot 50 percent from the floor, including 46
percent from 3-point range.
The Magic again looked like a team that hasn't had time to hold
a practice since newcomers Gilbert Arenas, Jason Richardson and
Hedo Turkoglu were acquired on Saturday. They've lost the first two
games since the pair of blockbuster trades and dropped eight of
their last nine games.

Azamara Quest Cruise Review by RBMPOET: Attention to Detail
Overall Member Rating
Attention to Detail
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
The attention to detail by Azamara Club Cruises began with check in and never waivered throughout our seven day cruise in the Western Mediterranean. The ship sailed from Barcelona and paced its itinerary so we never felt rushed in any port as we stopped in St. Tropez, Monte Carlo, Nice, Elba, and Florence.
The specialty restaurants were exceptional (food and service) but even the main dining room and buffet meals were a significant step above other lines I have cruised, including the ultra-luxury and pricier Sea Dreams. This former Renaissance ship has been nicely modified, with a delightful well-stocked and spacious library. I have never seen such a high level of service at all levels of the staff.
But the best part of the cruise was the ports visited, and the amount of time one gets to spend exploring on the ship's well-conceived shore excursions. The ship integrates the ports of call into the guests' time on board in many ways, allowing ones to enrich ones More understanding of the ports.
Even for passengers willing to pay for quality, this cruise was a surprising bargain, and the oohs and ahhs of exclamation from my fellow cruisers let me know I was not alone in being blown away by this gem of the Royal Caribbean fleet. Less

Fact-checkers are welcome to peruse my post titled Natural-born Citizens if they at any time doubt my previous sentiments concerning the birther issue
I have never relished the notion that a sitting President, duly-elected, would ever be bounced from office because of something beyond his or her control, but that doesnt mean we can ignore facts. Ignoring the facts is exactly what has delivered this nation to the brink of disaster.
Before the release of Obamas alleged long-form birth certificate I was of the opinion that the President was on much firmer ground legally if such a document was never released.
Why? Because, dear comrade, much more germane to the establishment of natural-born bona fides is the citizenship of the parents, not the place of birth. Since Obamas likely father was Barack Sr., it was probable that the long-form birth certificate would actually establish once and for all that Barack Jr., although still probably a U.S. citizen, was ineligible to be President.
(Excerpt) Read more at teapartytribune.com ...
what's your point?
My point is, many of us need to stop pushing Marco and/or Bobby for a VP spot if they are not eligible. I firmly believe that whomever wins Florida in 2012 wins the Presidency and I felt that we needed Marco Rubio on the Ticket in the VP spot to accomplish that. But, if he's not eligible, it's a moot point.
So far the author of the article has not mentioned that that document posted was a crudely made FORGERY!!! ( Yeah! I am shouting.)
Did you read my Post #4? The issue is closed.
Okay...The author does mention that the White House posted document is a forgery.
So far the author of the article has not mentioned that that document posted was a crudely made FORGERY!!!
I've always believed that B. Hussein was NOT eligible to be Prez. I also believe he is a Marxist Muslim. But, the problem is, most people don't give a sh**. It doesn't matter to them anymore than it did that Bill Clinton was a rapist and a lying whoremonger. Unfortunately, the "birther" issue will NEVER get the SOB out of the White House. We're just gonna have to work our a**es off to get him defeated in November of 2012.
I'm sorry, but this post is legal foolishness.
The claim that both one's parents must be US citizens has never been required by the SCOTUS and would not be. Secondly, he says the LFBC is a forgery, and therfore that settles it?
Clearer thinking than this is required here.
Put a conservative with the same type of ancestrey as zerobama on on the ticket and watch the libtard media suddenly become birthers.
Remember the flap over McCain because he was born outside a US state but in the US territory of the Canal Zone, in a military hospital on a military base with both parents being American citizens?
If a real and legitimate birth certificate existed it would be a **simple** matter to scan it and post it in a straight forward manner. Instead Obama created a crude forgery.... Hm?
Obama has LOST this issue in the most important court of all: The court of public opinion. Polls show that. Yes, it is true that it is unlikely that there is even one man of good character with any influence in the entire United States willing to take this on....but...there is NO WAY that Obama can get past this in the 2012 election.
At one timeI thought I and my brother (killed in the battle for Okinawa) could be POTUSA. However, I've taken a different view now that the matter with Obama's eligibility has been explored. Neither my brother nor I could be POTUSA because our parents were immigrants without naturalization at the time of our births. OK with me to be a plain citizen of an exceptional Nation.
Oh, I can't wait. If either of them is nominated for Pres, or VP, the Democrats and (redundantly) the media will be all over screaming "He's NOT a natural-born citizen!"
Thank you.
Obama will lose in 2012 because of what he has done to America, most importantly, the economy. The middle 20%, the people who actually elect the economy will decide that is enough, if and only if we nominate someone who gives them a realistic hope of a better life, free of obsessive government control, free of obsessive taxes, etc, if and only if that candidate comes across as reasonable, not some Christine O'Donnell-like kook.
"When does the shoe drop? When does the New York Times, or even Fox News for that matter, step up to the plate and take one for the team? Thousands of savvy journalists, computer experts, and more than a handful of pundits are now sitting on this bombshell that rivals Watergate in its magnitude."
Okay, I give up...When?
This has never been established in the US Code or by any Court, and it is foolish to keep harping on it.
The idea that a unanimous USSC (and it would have to be unanimous) would order an elected President to vacate his office on this basis is nuts.
Oh, OK, I'm relieved then.
He should be out any day now.
"Clearer thinking than this is required here."
Doesn't appear you will be the one doing it.
Tyranny is coming.
A time is soon coming when a license to practice law will be meaningless. Why? Because the rule of law is been shredded. Law means what ever the chief executive of our nation wants it to mean.
Presidents can thumb their nose at Congress when declaring war. They can perjure themselves. They can rape and group women at abandon. Mysterious murders can surround them. They can arrange to have sensitive documents stolen or make them go missing. The IRS files can They can lie about their past and post crudely made FORGERIES.
If I were a betting person, I would say that there likely will be elections in 2012. BUT....Count on it! A time is soon coming when there will be no elections or they will be a meaningless and any held in the old Soviet Union.
Why? Reason: Obama is merely the stink in the room! The gangrene is the moral rot that has infected every cultural institution in the nation, especial among those in the legal profession.
Obama is very likely a usurper. He posted two crude FORGERIES!!! And,...Not one man or woman with influence in a country of 300 million people has done anything meaningful about it!
Not even one governor or state attorney general, no prosecutors, not one legislator, no judges or any member of the Supreme Court, and the entire electoral college did anything about it! Yet...the majority of these guys and gals are lawyers! Not one LEO or law enforcement agency ( federal or state) made any move to act. Our Marxist and conservative media were silent. Our very highest military, graduates of academies with the very strictest "honor codes" ( what a joke!) are complicit.
Tyranny is soon coming. Bet on it.
"I have never relished the notion that a sitting President, duly-elected, would ever be bounced from office because of something beyond his or her control, but that doesnt mean we can ignore facts."
Strawman!!! this was the second sentence of the article.
Obama was on the ballot due to FRAUD! How can that translate into "duly elected". Unbelievable!
( By the way...Please read my respond to Mind Bender26 in post #21.)
Afterbirthers disgust me.
He should have never been in is the point in case you missed it.
Whites Are Liars Audacity of Racism: Obamas 20-Year Mentor Rev. Wright Tells Church Youth All Whites Are Liars Over and Over in a Long Sound Bite
That is the gangrene that will kill the patient. Obama is merely the stink in the room.
Please read my post #21.
Then, that ELIMINATES Marco Rubio and Bobby Jindal from ever being Prez or VP.
Maybe not. Their parents could have been naturalized citizens at the time of Rubio's and Jindal's birth. I have no idea if they were or not.
Please accept my apology. I misread your post.
Apparently you are not up to speed. Leo Donofrio argues that Minor v Happersett is a supreme court precedent where the court rules that the fact of Minor having two citizen parents and born in the United States makes her a "Natural Born Citizen." He further argues that they did not invoke the 14th amendment to make this ruling (as they did in Wong Kim Ark) and therefore it is based on original law. To sum it up, it proves what the Supreme Courts understanding of original law was, and it conforms to the two citizen parent born on the soil position.

Clearer thinking than this is required here.
Clear thinking is indeed required, but without accurate facts it will still lead you astray. The Minor v. Happersett decision provides some of those accurate facts.
Rogers v. Bellei provides another fact. In that case, the Supreme court ruled that being the child of one American Citizen isn't enough to be a "Natural born citizen." Bellei LOST his citizenship because he didn't reside in the United States long enough. A "Natural born citizen" could NOT lose his citizenship through inaction.
I hate to point this out, but McCain was NOT born in a US Military Hospital, he was born off-base in a Panamanian civilian hospital. This was a much discussed point.
Apparently it HAS been established by the Supreme Court in their ruling on Minor v. Happersett. Read Donofrio's analysis.
Mind Bender26 is very proud of his reasoning abilities.
By the way...Please read my post #21 in response to Mind Bender26's rationalizations. Mind *Bender* was a good choice for a posting name. Do you think? .
And Donofrio's analysis has enjoyed so much success in the courtroom.
Roe v. Wade enjoyed plenty of success in the court room. The ruling of the court is that the Amendment granting citizenship to slaves (14th) means that it's okay for women (Who couldn't even vote in 1868) to kill their unborn children.
Dred Scott v. Sanford enjoyed plenty of success in the court room. (Slaves are property.) So did Plessy v. Ferguson. (Separate but Equal.) I hear the KELO V. NEW LONDON (Theft of Private Property) was also popular with the Supreme court. Miranda v. Arizona (lying rapist get's confession thrown out. Convicted anyway.) was successful in court.
Pardon me if I don't regard success in the court as proof of legitimacy. The courts have become "democracy by other means" rather than an objective interpreter of the truth. Often a majority in the court simply means all the idiots are on the same side.
I think you are right. Obama is the stink in the room that represents the larger stink in our nation. TOO much power is in the hands of those who control the discussion. Lawyers, Professors, News, Media, everyone who has an outsized influence on what the public is told all lean left/liberal. For years I have suggested that Republicans file affirmative action lawsuits against media corps and colleges alleging discrimination against conservatives in hiring. I've also suggested legal action against media corps for providing free political advertising for Liberal politicians in the guise of slanted news and commentary. Every News person should have a [D] under their name when they are on the air so the public would know which party they are getting their news from.
Tip of the stench is right.
Success in the courts confer the status of Law of the Land whether you agree with the ruling or not.
People treat Leo Donofrio as if he is an authority on the subject. He is not. He is a blogger, amateur poker player, sometime musician and an individual who despite somehow passing the bar and possessing a license to practice law, has never succeeded in any legal case. His "analysis" enjoy the support of no one outside of the birther circus, outside of people who want so desperately for there to be something, anything, that will magically and instantly nullify the Obama Presidency.
Donofrio's views are supported by no reputable conservative politician, commentator or conservative legal foundation.
Clearer thinking is indeed called for, how about bringing some to the conversation. Unless you consider the Supreme Court to be the final arbiter of who is King.
Cogent remarks wintertime.
I to fear that we have been had. It is beyond belief that not one person in authority, not one elected official, nor a single judge has found that the people have any standing to even ask the questions that would reveal the travesty.
I am further saddened by the law types on FR, that continually belittle Orley Taiz for her efforts to unveil this conspiracy. Do we really have to have immigrants alone carrying the banner of freedom, that once waved or the land of the free?
Law decided by precedent is no law at all, it is tyranny piled upon tyranny.
OK, let's talk about fraud then. Do you doubt that the White House has released a manufactured document? If you do it can only be because you have done zero homework, or refuse to. And by the way, you're completely wrong about the definition of natural-born citizen too. All that matters is what that phrase meant at the time of the adoption of the Constitution. If you can't grasp that, I don't know what else to tell you.
I have never pushed either, and I would not. It's ridiculous to think that among the pool of eligible "natural-born" candidates we can't find a person sufficiently talented to run the government of this country.
I assume everyone knows by now, or they are in complete denial.
Your post is foolishness. Scotus cannnot change the definition of a phrase, and that's all that matters. What did "natural-born" mean before the Constitution was adopted? Regardless, you ARE MISSING THE POINT. The White House has released a FRAUDULENT DOCUMENT... omg.
Oh, good. He'll be leaving shortly, then?
I suspect soon. In time for Hillary to get a primary campaign up and running. This is Twilight Zone stuff, but to look at the evidence is to know the truth, as unbelievable as it may seem.
Omg... So what would you have me do then? Pretend like this is not happening? I reall am at a loss with the thinking that goes on here. Is the point to only do those things which affect outcomes? Or can we know ALL truth, regardless of its efficacy? I am not arguing that Obama SHOULD be kicked out of the White House, I am giving INFORMATION. Do whatever you want with it.
Please accept my apology. I misread your post.
No problem.
Works for me ... we have 310,000,000 others to pick from.

Chat with Scouts Inc.'s Keith Kidd
Kidd spent 14 years in NFL front offices before joining Scouts Inc., including eight years with the Arizona Cardinals, three as the director of pro personnel for the Cleveland Browns and three as the assistant director of pro scouting for the New England Patriots, where he was a part of two Super Bowl championship teams (2003 and 2004).
Send your questions now and join Keith on Thursday at 1 p.m. ET for all the answers.
Buzzmaster (1:02 PM)
We've got Kidder!
Keith Kidd (1:03 PM)
It's great to be here. There have been a lot of interesting things that have taken place this week. Let's get rolling with your NFL questions!
John (Fort Myers, FL)
Who ya got in this weekend's Giants-Steelers game?
Keith Kidd (1:04 PM)
I like the Giants in this game. I think it will be a very close game because I have concerns about the Steelers' offensive line in handling the Giants pressure packages. But I do think it will be a tight game that goes down to the wire.
Greg (Champaign, IL)
Can't wait for today's insight... Hopefully people are not as hostile as last week!
Paul (Dallas)
Can the Cowboys best the Bucs at home?
Keith Kidd (1:05 PM)
I don't like the Cowboys at all right now. I don't like the chemistry. This team is not playing with a lot of confidence. Wade Phillips is taking over the defense, but hasn't he been wearing the headsets on Sunday? Has he not been involved? Brad Johnson is a stationary target and I'm concerned about the Cowboys ability to make plays on offense.
John (Miami)
True or False Joey Porter leads the league in Sacks at the end of the season.
Keith Kidd (1:06 PM)
I would say false. There are too many great pass rushers in the league right now. Not to take away from the season he's having, because he's having a phenomenal year.
Chris (Cali)
What's wrong with the Cowboys O-line? With all the drama going on in Dallas, the team's troubles blocking is going under the radar! They haven't been able to run the ball, last weeks stats are misleading because the Rams had a big lead. And the pass protection has been horrible against only average pass rushs. What do you think?
Keith Kidd (1:08 PM)
They simply haven't played very well. Outside of Leonard Davis, they haven't played well. How many times the last few weeks has Adams been completely run over? Outside of the one drive against the Rams, this offense has been out of sync. The best remedy for that would be for them to pound, pound, pound the ball with Marion Barber. But it will be hard against that Tampa Bay defense.
Aaron (Memphis, TN)
How long until we see Chad Henne replace Chad Pennington in South Florida? Pennington has done a great job this season but we aren't going anywhere again this year, so at what point do we get to see what Henne is made of?
Keith Kidd (1:09 PM)
Aaron, believe it or not, the Dolphins are still in the thick of things in the AFC East. Until they are not a factor in the race, I would not expect to see him until later in the season.
Nancy (Indy)
Will the Colts still make the playoffs? Is all the blame gonna be put on Peyton if they don't?
Keith Kidd (1:10 PM)
Nancy, that's a great question. To me their whole season is on the line when they play the Titans on Monday night. This team has a lot of experienced players that realize that, which should make this a great game. I'm not going to count them out of the playoffs just yet.
Brian (Denver)
Any chance Sean Payton could be on the hot seat?
Keith Kidd (1:11 PM)
I don't see it. He just recently signed a new contract extension. He's not on the hot seat, nor should he be. This is a huge game in London in a game they should win.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Do you think a team might finish 8-8 and win the NFC North?
Keith Kidd (1:11 PM)
No. I could see 9-7, yes, but not 8-8.
Paulie (Slippery Rock, PA)
When do the Browns make a change at QB? They traded up to get Brady Quinn so why not give him a shot? Other than the Giants game, DA hasn't looked good all season.
Keith Kidd (1:13 PM)
It's getting close. Keep in mind, once they make that change, there's no turning back. Even though there's a lot of frustration with Derek Anderson and the way they've played, this team still has a shot at the AFC North. He still gives them the best shot to win, as crazy as that sounds. But if they lose in Jacksonville, it will be hard to overcome that.
Matt K (The Burg, PA)
Kidder, I really think in a close game Big Ben makes the big play and the steelers win. How much of a facter will Fast Wille Parker coming back play?
Keith Kidd (1:14 PM)
If he's fully healthy, I think he'll make a huge factor in this game because of his explosive speed and ability to strike from anywhere on the field. What a great matchup to watch these two great young QBs. Also, the Giants offense against this Steelers defense. I can't wait for this game.
Mike (Cincy)
Is Marvin Lewis out at the end of the year?
Keith Kidd (1:15 PM)
Possibly. However, I don't see the Brown family firing a coach with time left on his contract. Let's face it, the Bengals have a chance to possibly win three games. Plus, he'll get the Get Out of Jail For Free card because Carson Palmer's been injured this year.
Max (UMD)
Hey your chats are much more interesting than the lecture i'm in right now. What do you think the Giants do with Kiwanuka next year when Osi comes back?
Keith Kidd (1:16 PM)
Thanks. You don't get rid of great football players. He has so much versatility on the field. He'll be out there in some capacity. That's a very good problem for the Giants to have.
Travis James (Milwaukee)
Do you see Favre playing another year in New York after this year?
Keith Kidd (1:17 PM)
I do see him playing again next year. I think he's still playing at a very high level. This offensive line has underachieved. For as much money as they spent, they haven't played as well as you would think. They're playing against a defense this week that can't even dial up a stop right now.
Luis (SB, CA)
This morning on First Take they were talking about the Lions going 0-16. Based on their schedule, which might be the most brutal in the league, do you think it's possible?
Keith Kidd (1:17 PM)
This organization is in terrible shape. The y've been down by 21 points in the first quarter in five the first six games!
Keith, Give me your thoughts on the play of the Bills young QB Trent Edwards right now?
Keith Kidd (1:19 PM)
I like Trent Edwards. I think he's done a great job within the structure of their offense. He's extremely accurate. He's smart. He's a major reason this team is 5-1 and in first place in the AFC East. I am really loooking forward to when this team plays the Patriots.
Tony (St. Louis)
Any chance the rams can come back and make the playoffs?
Keith Kidd (1:20 PM)
Yes, because they'll finish the most difficult part of their schedule when they play the Patriots this week. After that, they have some very winnable games. And they play in a weak division. They have a heckuva shot.
Graham (Owensboro)
Which team from the NFC East do you see not making the playoffs?
Keith Kidd (1:21 PM)
I would say right now, I hate to say it, the Cowboys. But I have a right to change it down the road. I picked this team to make the Super Bowl, but this team is a runaway train right now.
I'm on a Fantasy skid and could use your input. Favre or Rivers? I picked up C.Benson and he is projected better than J.Lewis. Which is a better start?
Keith Kidd (1:22 PM)
Easily, Favre at home against the Chiefs. Benson ran well last week against Pittsburgh and they're playing Houston. But I'd probably take Lewis against the Jaguars.
Ryan (Denver)
AFC west is a mess, who do you think will come out of this division, and will they have anything better than 9-7??
Keith Kidd (1:22 PM)
I still think San Diego will win the Division. I can't even start to explain how bad the Broncos defense is right now.
Jill (Kansas)
Do you think Herm Edwards is gone after this year?
Keith Kidd (1:23 PM)
Possibly. It will be an interesting call to which direction this organization makes in regards to both the GM and coach.
Keith Kidd (1:23 PM)
This is a very, very attractive team. But obviously, the biggest missing ingredient is the QB position. There are some talented players on this team but there is no future QB on the roster right now.
Keith Kidd (1:24 PM)
Get your Matt Millen Award nominees in. We'll be picking the winner in a little bit.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
K-squared: What team currently playing sub-.500 ball can you see turning it around and making the playoffs?
Keith Kidd (1:24 PM)
Jacksonville. They're a team to keep an eye on. Also, I can not and will not give up on the Indianapolis Colts.
Matt K (The Burg, PA)
Kidder, I am so tired of the Cowboys fans crying over injuries, my thought is they are over rated and the coaching staff is not that good, any thoughts?
Keith Kidd (1:26 PM)
This is an extremely talented team that has some great players. But, to me, it's more about a collection of talent than it is about a team. There are too many personalities. The owner consistently overrides the head coach and takes away his authority. It's a clear connection of a group of talented players with no identity or direction. You just hope they can turn it around.
Jeff Toms River NJ
Soldja boy Kellen Winslow for the Millen award
Greg (Champaign, IL)
Kellen Winslow for the Matt Millen Award!
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
With Nolan out and JTO struggling, do you think the 49ers might run some form of the Wildcat making more use of Michael Robinson?
Keith Kidd (1:27 PM)
Great question. Every team has a form of the Wildcat that they've worked on. Whether or not they use it is another thing. If I were Mike Singletary, I would emphasize to Mike Martz that we need to get Frank Gore more involved in the offense.
LJ for Millen award!
Adam (Jersey)
Let's not forget about Larry Johnson for the Matt Millen award!
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I'm nominating bounty-hunter Lee Suggs for the Millen Award this week.
Mike (San Diego)
Kidder...I have to nominate you for the Millen award. KC a very attractive team? How the heck is that even possible? They're not one QB away from a winning season...they're about 18 new starters away from being a .500 team.
Keith Kidd (1:28 PM)
Mike, what I meant was is that it's totally attractive from a fan base and an organizational standpoing. There are some passionate fans. And I disagree with you on this team. They have some good young players, they just got young way too quick. They should have kept some of their veteran players. It's going to take some time and they need to find a QB.
JD (Boston)
Is Jerry Jones becoming Al Davis before our very eyes as it was suggested on local radio here in Boston?
Keith Kidd (1:30 PM)
I wouldn't go that far, but what I would say is that he's a guy that a lot of people would love to work for, becuase he's very passionate. He'll go and get any player if he thinks he'll make them better. But there's a lot more in this business than just collection a lot of great players. You have to become a team.
Steve Atlanta
Your thoughts on the Falcons Eagles game this weekend. Can the Falcons pull out another miricle finish?
Keith Kidd (1:31 PM)
Steve, this is going to be a very tough game for Matt Ryan. The Falcons will see so many different looks in the way that Jim Johnson will attack this young QB. I don't see this being a close game on Sunday. If they can't run it, they could have a very difficult time.
Greg (Champaign, IL)
Green Bay media and Favre have to be in contention for the Matt Millen Award
Russ (New York)
Matt Millen award goes to the Minnesota Vikings Special Teams
Adam (Jersey)
Actually, what am I saying? I don't care if it wasn't technically illegal, I'd like to propose Brett Favre for a Matt Millen award nomination.
Jonathan, N.O.
Do you think the Saints will turn it around, and if so how?
Keith Kidd (1:32 PM)
Right now, I don't see them turning the season around. They're on the road until Thanksgiving weekend.
Mike (San Diego)
Good deal Kidder...I officially un-nominate you for the award...thanks for the clarification!
John (Fort Myers, FL)
It's been a crazy season so far this year. What AFC division winner from last year to do think has the best shot of missing the playoffs (Pgh, NE, Ind, SD)?
Keith Kidd (1:34 PM)
John, I'm not dancing around this question. This season is so out of whack that it's too hard to predict that right now. If Indianapolis loses to Tennessee on Monday night, it'll be Indy. They're all weak divisions, except for the AFC South.
Eric (Chicago)
San Francisco front office for the Matt Millen Award, the way they handled Nolan was classless!
Ryan (cleveland)
Throw me a bone Kidder...do you really think the Browns would get rid of WInslow after the season based on this infection situation?
Keith Kidd (1:35 PM)
Without a doubt, you'll see Kellen Winslow in a new uniform next year.
Dave (Denver)
The entire Broncos team for the Matt Millen award. Talk about not showing up for a game.
Matt (Grand Rapids)
Kidder, I just heard the Lions game will be blacked out locally, they have 5000 tickets left. Will the empty seats make old man Ford make changes?
Keith Kidd (1:36 PM)
Matt, you want to say yes, but how many years was Matt Millen in Detroit? The one thing I've learned about Detroit is expect the unexpected.
Brian (Sanibel Island, FL)
Pick one QB to build your team around and it can't be Tom Brady.
Keith Kidd (1:37 PM)
That's easy, Peyton Manning. Next!
Rick (richmond VA)
The Cowboys simply are not as "talented" as people keep saying. T.O. got old, Flozel is done, Barber is not the beast people thought, the entire secondary even with a healthy Newman is not near as good as per person as the Redskins. T Romo is a fine but turnover prone QB, but to me Davis, Ware, Witten are the only really probowl level players on that team. oh wait McBriar is abeast punter too
Keith Kidd (1:38 PM)
I'm not going to argue that. This team is as talented as any in the NFL, from an offensive skill position standpoint. Defensively, they have an inability to make plays in space on the back end. This team isn't as athletic as you thought they would be.
Michael (Warsaw IN)
What are your thoughts on the game between the Bears and Bye? Do you think the Bears have a chance to pull off the victory?
Keith Kidd (1:39 PM)
Michael, I will say this about the Bears: I love Kyle Orton. He has played better than we all have anticipated. This team needs the bye as bad as anybody from a defensive standpoint to get these guys back on the field healthy.
Will Mike Shanahan ever be held accountable for the mess in Denver?
Keith Kidd (1:40 PM)
Unfortunately not. But the one thing he's got to quit doing is blaming the defensive coordinators - he's fired two in the last three years. It's obvious to me that this team is not very talented for the system they're playing in. You can't take 4-3 players and try to play them in a 3-4. This team was horrible Monday night. Horrible.
Matt K (The Burg, PA)
Matt Millen Award goes to Kellen "the staph infection" Winslow.
I know it's college, but what about the tackling ref for Matt Millen award!
Keith Kidd (1:41 PM)
To me, without a doubt, its Larry Johnson in KC. With Kellen Winslow as a close runner-up.
Jon (Mad-town)
Talented teams often fail because there's a lack of leadership. Look at the Cowboys and Chargers. Those 2 teams might have better talent than anyone in the NFL but never maintain the discipline to utilize it.
Keith Kidd (1:41 PM)
I couldn't have said it better.
Adam (Jersey)
What do you think of Antonio Bryant getting the starting nod at split end? I don't think Galloway can play flanker in that offense, so he becomes a slot guy. Do you like the move?
Keith Kidd (1:43 PM)
I think Antonio Bryant has been a great story in the NFL this season. Gruden rolled the dice on him and it's paid huge dividends. Galloway is getting toward the end of his career, based on his age.
Steve (Jacksonville, FL)
I have Hines Ward, Santana Moss, and Plaxico Burress on my fantasy team and only two starting spots. Who do I start?
Keith Kidd (1:44 PM)
Well, you definitely have to start Moss against Detroit. And how can you not start Plax against his former team?
Greg (Champaign, IL)
Majeed, remember how you were nominated for the Millen award a few weeks ago? Statements like those are why...
James (Florida)
Hey what are your feelings on the whole Winslow suspension? I admit I am not a Winslow fan but I completely disagree with him being suspended.
Keith Kidd (1:46 PM)
I think both the player and organization dropped the ball on this one.
Graham (Tampa)
I'm dating a Bucs cheerleader. She insists we are better off without Cadillac. I think he will help our offense a lot. What part do you think he will play in our offense the rest of the season?
Keith Kidd (1:47 PM)
You're a lucky guy. You're dating a Bucs cheerleader, why mess up a good thing?
Jon (Mad-town)
What do you think about the Bears' Corey Graham? Sports writers in Chicago seem to love him because he makes a lot of tackles, but typically with CBs a high number of tackles means a lot of passes are getting thrown and completed their way.
Keith Kidd (1:48 PM)
I like him. Obviously he's a young guy that's played pretty well in their sub packages. He's been forced to play early because of the injuries. But the only way you can get better at that position is you have to go play a difficult position.
Mike (San Diego)
Kidder...coaching question for you. When you see a Defensive minded coach (ala Fisher in Tenn) they tend to have success because the team is kind of built around some great D players. Marvin Lewis, on the other hand, his team is built around the Offense, which isn't his specialty (I'm thinking that because he's a D guy, the organization thinks you can give him Chicken Crap and expect him to make Chicken salad out of it). You see this success/failure around the league often, but nothing is really done about it. Your thoughts?
Keith Kidd (1:50 PM)
The job Jeff Fisher has done in Tennessee has been amazing. His defensive system has never changed. As for Lewis, he brought a system there to fix the defense, but he's consistently turned over defensive coordinators and put the blame on them and not him. They haven't been able to fix it, because they haven't drafted the right players to help fix it, especially against the run.
Ericht (Bermuda)
Wow...Portis is a beast this year. So happy he is on my FF team.
Greedo (Mos Eisley)
Just me or does Miami have a good chance at upsetting the Bills?
Keith Kidd (1:51 PM)
I think it's you Greedo. I think it's going to be a close game and the weather can be a factor in this game. It will be up to Buffalo to substitute those players to really give them the rest they need. Miami will need to run the football to win this game. But I like the Bills in this game.
Chet (LA)
Keith, Which team showed their 'true colors' last week, the Packers or the Colts??
Keith Kidd (1:53 PM)
You know what, that's a good question. Lambeau Field is a very difficult place to play for any team. The Colts were extremely undisciplined with their penalties. And the Packers did a good job of taking away that vertical element of the Colts passing game. And Aaron Rodgers continues to play at a very high level.
Corey (Reading, Pa)
Eagles are 3-3...think they turn it around or falter?
Keith Kidd (1:54 PM)
It's a critical stretch of games coming up for them. I'm not one to say a team doesn't have a chance when we're not to the mid point of the season.
Greg (Champaign, IL)
What is your upset special this weekend?
Keith Kidd (1:55 PM)
Colts over the Titans on Monday Night.
Greg (Champaign, IL)
Rays or Phillies?
Keith Kidd (1:55 PM)
Bengals & Lions fans
So you're saying we have a chance...
Solomon Cedar Falls Iowa
How long do you think it will take for the Chiefs to rebound and have a championship caliber team. Or even a playoff team.
Keith Kidd (1:56 PM)
They first have to address the QB position. That's going to be the whole key. Until then, it's going to be some time.
Hines Ward
I'm tired of opposing teams complaining about the way I play. I never block illegally but yet, other players say I'm dirty. Am I missing something here?
Keith Kidd (1:57 PM)
Hey Hines, ever since you've entered this league, I've loved watching you play. Keep it up.
Cliff (NYC)
When will people begin to realize what a terrible head coach Norv Turner is? Why does this guy seem to get a free pass in the media?
Keith Kidd (1:58 PM)
I thought he did a great job last year. This team is 3-3 and there is still a tremendous amount of the season to be played. Let's wait until later in the season.
Liam (Houston)
Who do you think is HC of the 49ers next year?
Keith Kidd (1:59 PM)
Based on what I've seen in the last few days, the organization would love for it to be Mike Singletary. Mike Singletary has a great shot of being the HC of the 49ers next year, unless this team just bottoms out and doesn't win a game.
Ryan (Council Bluffs)
What chance do you give the Raiders of winning the AFC west
Keith Kidd (2:00 PM)
Not much. This team is too undisciplined and I don't see an offense that's going to score a lot of points. It could be really ugly for Russell on Sunday against that Ravens pressure defense.
Jon (Mad-town)
Tommie Harris finally got a sack last week, is this a sign that he's finally healthy, or a sign that Gus Frerotte is Gus Frerotte?
Keith Kidd (2:01 PM)
I think Tommie Harris got a wake up call when Lovie Smith suspended him for a game. This guy is too talented of a player to not have a big impact week in and week out. The Bears just need to get some players healthy in their secondary when they come back from the bye.
Big Jake (Baton Rouge)
Does Torry Holt fianlly score another TD this week?
Keith Kidd (2:02 PM)
If I'm Al Saunder in St. Louis, I try to find some way or another to get him matched up on O'Neal. This Rams team is talented, however, it's obvious that they did not want to play for Linehan.
Keith Kidd (2:03 PM)
Hey it's been fast and furious and a lot of fun. Make sure you check out my Monday Night preview show on the PodCenter. It's also on the ESPN.com NFL page on Sundays and Mondays. Give me some feedback. Good luck this week to your favorite NFL team.

Hogs wild: loose pigs shut down Ark. interstate
Published: Monday, June 22, 2009 at 2:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 22, 2009 at 2:05 p.m.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) Hogs on the highway aren't always motorcycles.
Arkansas State Police say a tractor-trailer rig hauling pigs overturned early Monday on a major highway and some of the four-legged hogs got loose.
The wreck and the roaming porkers closed a stretch of Interstate 430 connecting Little Rock to North Little Rock.
State Police spokesman Bill Sadler said morning commuters were detoured around the area as troopers and others tried to corral the escaped hogs.
The swine could weigh as much as 800 pounds each.
Authorities said the truck was carrying about 90 hogs. Some of them remained in the trailer while others made a break for freedom.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - A former court clerk in Catoosa faces up to
five years in prison after pleading guilty to federal drug-related
Federal prosecutors say 55-year-old Phyllis June Matthews
pleaded guilty Monday in federal court in Tulsa to distributing the
prescription painkiller hydrocodone.
Matthews - who has also used the last Addington - admitted
providing the painkiller in October and twice in November. She said
she didn't sell the pills - but gave them to an unspecified person.
Prosecutors say Matthews faces up to five years when sentenced
May 10 although federal sentencing guidelines could allow her to
avoid prison.
Matthews was fired when the federal indictment naming her was
unsealed in January.

Resurrected: KBluetooth
KDE developer Alex Fiestas has taken on the orphaned KDE Bluetooth. The first release under his supervision, Kbluetooth 0.4, has now been released.
According to Fiestas, data transmission and receive now works with every Bluetooth device. Input pairing functions with almost all devices, he says in his blog.
The developer has greatly improved the user interface and more importantly, fixed a huge number of bugs. Application crashes have become a thing of the past, he says, and the program is now compatible with KDE, versions from 4.3.
Kbluetooth is under GPL and has its own page at KDE Apps. Currently only a tarball is available. Alex Fiestas would like users to ask their distros for finished packages.

GEORGETOWN, Ky. (AP) -- A central Kentucky man has been charged with collecting his dead mother's Social Security checks and lying to the government for 29 years.
A federal grand jury indicted Frederick Ray Clark of Scott County last week, saying Clark's mother, Martha Jane Clark, began getting payments from Social Security after her husband died.
Martha Jane Clark died in August 1985, which would have ended her benefits. The grand jury concluded that the Social Security Administration was not informed of her death.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reported that as recently as May, Frederick Ray Clark told police from the agency that his mother had lived with him and his wife for 30 years and still did.
Court records did not list an attorney for Clark or a pending court date.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Senior forward Titus Rubles burst out of the University of Cincinnati locker room, turned to coach Mick Cronin's father, Hep, and proclaimed, "Conference champions, baby! That's what I'm talking about."
The Bearcats were able to say that for the first time since 2004 and the 27th time in the school's history after claiming a hard-fought 70-66 victory Saturday over Rutgers before 6,650 fans at the Rutgers Athletic Center.
As they boarded the bus that would take them to their charter flight back to Cincinnati, they knew they would have to wait until they landed to find out if they would own the American Athletic Conference championship outright or have to share it with Louisville, which had just started its game against Connecticut.
But really, they didn't seem all that concerned about it. Remember, this is a team that was picked by the league's coaches to finish fourth in the preseason.
"In my mind, we won the championship no matter what," Cronin said. "Whether it's shared or not, we're conference champs and we won a conference championship in a really formidable league. We've got five teams right now ranked in the top 20, not the top 25."
Louisville went on to pound Connecticut, 81-48, to ensure a co-championship, but the Bearcats won the coin flip after the game and will be the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament in Memphis. They'll play the winner of Wednesday's game between Central Florida and Temple at 7 p.m. Thursday.
The Bearcats beat both teams twice during the regular season, but struggled at Temple, winning, 80-76, after squandering a 19-point second-half lead.
No. 15 UC (26-5 overall, 15-3 in the league) had to fight off a serious challenge from a Rutgers team that ostensibly had little to play for, but still rallied from a 10-point second-half deficit to take a 64-63 lead over the Bearcats with 3:17 remaining.
From that point, the Bearcats outscored the Scarlet Knights, 7-2, with Sean Kilpatrick, who led UC with 24 points, scoring the clinching points on a driving layup with 16.9 seconds left as the shot clock neared zero.
The only basket for Rutgers (11-20, 5-13) in the final 3:17 came on a goal-tending call against UC center Justin Jackson. Moments earlier, Jackson had made a reverse layup after to put UC ahead, 65-64, after his initial shot was blocked by Kadeem Batts.
"It came right back to my hands," Jackson said, "so I went right back up with it."
"He was not going to be denied," Cronin said.
After J.J. Moore - who led Rutgers with 19 points - missed a 3-point shot, Kilpatrick converted a 3-point play to give UC a 68-64 lead. Following the goal-tending call, UC called timeout with 30.3 seconds left, clinging to a two-point lead.
When the designed play broke down, Kilpatrick ran out to mid-court and demanded the ball from point guard Ge'Lawn Guyn, then put his down and drove to the basket for the layup to make it 70-66.
"I seen the (shot) clock going down," Kilpatrick said. "There was like six seconds left. I thought if I get fouled, I get fouled. If not, Coach ain't going to be mad if I at least get it on the rim because Justin or Titus could wind up tipping it in."
Jackson finished with a double-double of 10 points and 11 rebounds, with freshman Kevin Johnson scoring eight key points off the bench in 11 minutes. Rubles was held to four points after his 24-point outburst on Thursday night, but he seized 11 rebounds.
"Some nights it might call for a different thing," Rubles said. "I'm an artillery player. I do everything."
Cronin said he figured when the season started that the Bearcats would have to win 15 league games to have a shot at the regular-season title and that's exactly what they delivered.
"It's an honor," Kilpatrick said. "I waited four years to really be able to say I helped this program get a conference championship and now that Coach is actually smiling a little bit that's a little monkey off our back. No one would have thought that we would be where we are now. That goes for our seniors as well."

3 Minerals Your Skin is CravingHealthy Pregnancy, Baby & Child, Natural Remedies, Personal Care, Skin Health
By Carla Hernandez NTP of Wise Roots Nutrition
The importance of minerals in skincare has been severely overlooked, especially in comparison to the attention vitamins receive. Minerals are essentially the "spark plugs" of the body, carrying out important bodily functions through enzyme reactions. They facilitate the transfer of nutrients across cell membranes with important assistance from vitamins.
In addition, they maintain PH balance and proper nerve conduction, contract and relax muscles, provide structural support, and regulate tissue growth. As you can see, minerals are a must to maintaining a healthy functioning body, but also to maintain healthy vibrant skin.
We need a variety of minerals, and the best place to get these is through consuming a clean whole foods diet with an array of high quality foods. Having a focus on skin in my practice, many of my clients who initially come to me are deficient in minerals in general, but in particular ones that can be extremely helpful in repair and maintenance of skin. If you're struggling with a skin condition, such as acne, you may want to consider focusing on the minerals discussed below.
Zinc has a variety of important functions, and is also probably the most common deficiency I see in people. Zinc is needed for proper growth, supporting immunity, balancing proper blood sugar and metabolic rate, and plays a large role in promoting prostate health.
It also has incredible benefits in healing and repairing damaged skin, including wound healing, and because it is also an antioxidant, it protects against UV radiation. Just to be clear, I am an advocate of the sun and getting your vitamin D naturally, although there is a difference between sun exposure and abuse.
If you know you are going to be out for hours in the summer particularly, a zinc sunscreen like zinc oxide would not be a bad idea. It is available in it's pure form, which you may recognize from the traditional white patches athletes like surfers use, although this is not the most attractive, nor discrete when out in public.
Zinc oxide is now available in a clear form that doesn't have the chemicals and harmful ingredients that traditional sunscreens contain. It is also important to note that zinc regulates the release of vitamin A from the liver (another important skin nutrient). In regards to acne, zinc is especially helpful working as an anti-inflammatory agent, helping in prevention of breakouts but also decreasing scarring.
Because zinc can help reduce the amount of sebum (natural oil) your skin produces, some research has found that those with acne have a lower intake of zinc in their diet than those without acne.
Both past and recent research have shown that additional zinc intake is a great way to help control acne symptoms:
A 2000 study published in the European Journal of Dermatology found that taking zinc gluconate supplements helped to treat inflammatory acne, according to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Another double-blind clinical trial published in the British Journal of Dermatology in 1977, discovered that zinc supplements were equally effective as oxytetracycline, an oral antibiotic sometimes prescribed for treating acne.
Food sources of zinc are best absorbed from animal sources if a deficiency is present, as animal foods are better absorbed without the phytates that zinc sources from plants have.
Simple Test for Zinc Deficiency
The current percent daily value for zinc is 15 mg, but therapeutic doses may be needed in higher amounts. A good way to test your zinc status is by doing a simple taste test at home.
Take a small amount of liquid zinc (about 1 tablespoon) in your mouth for up to 30 seconds. If you immediately taste something other than water, such as a metallic bitter taste, this can indicate good zinc status. The longer it takes within those 30 seconds to taste something other than water, the more deficient you may be.
Best food sources of Zinc
- Oysters and other shellfish
- Veal Liver
- Roast Beef
- Lamb
- Pumpkin Seeds
Sulfur is the third most abundant mineral in the human body, present in every cell, with its greatest concentration in hair, skin and nails. Like zinc, many people are likely eating a diet deficient in sulfur. That alone can cause initial skin symptoms.
Traditionally, dermatologists recommend topical sulfur ointments for treating acne, dermatitis, rosacea, eczema and even dandruff. Topical uses of sulfur date as far back as Hippocrates and even the Romans. Sulfur preparations and sulfur springs were used to treat skin problems, relieve pain and to prevent aging.
According to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, sulfur appears to assist in shedding excessive skin. Insufficient shedding can be responsible for blocking pores and creating the ideal environment for bacteria to thrive.
Sulfur works great at fighting bacteria, clarifying the skin, minimizing pores, as well as preventing and healing damage caused by blemishes. Hence, it can be very helpful for those who have acne.
Dietary sulfur significantly affects the production of collagen in our skin, which supports its structure and strength, decreasing the onset of wrinkles. For an additional way to support collagen growth, gelatin from pasture raised animals is a great food source to include in any healthy skin diet.
Best food sources of Sulfur
- Grass fed pastured meats, like beef and chicken
- Pastured eggs
- Garlic
- Onions- The more potent and stronger the smell and effect (think eyes watering), the more sulfur they contain!
- Brussel sprouts
- Asparagus
- Kale
- Fermented cruciferous vegetables, such as traditionally prepared sauerkraut
Selenium is a powerful antioxidant, paired with vitamin E (another antioxidant) helps to boost glutathione production in the body, which can potentially help to decrease and control acne.
Like Zinc, people who have acne typically have low levels of selenium as well. The combination of antioxidants can create a great anti-inflammatory effect and fight off free radicals.
It's worth mentioning that copper also helps to enhance the function of antioxidants, protecting skin from overall oxidative damage which can lead to progressive aging, scarring and a dull complexion.
The mineral content in food is heavily dependent on the quality of the soil, another reason to shop organic and local. Even then though, soils in some parts of the world naturally contain more selenium than others. In the United States, Nebraska and North and South Dakota have high levels of selenium in the soil. Russia and China have low selenium levels.
If you eat a whole foods diet you should get enough selenium, however, if you do or have any of the following, this can also lead to selenium deficiencies.
- Smoke cigarettes
- Drink alcohol
- Take birth control pills
- Have a condition that prevents your body from absorbing enough selenium such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or any chronic digestive issue
Best Food Sources of Selenium
- Organ Meats
- Fish, such as sardines and salmon are particularly high
- Pastured Meats- beef, turkey, lamb
- Liver
- Brazil nuts– Just 2-3 nuts will get you to your daily intake value. Make sure you soak and sprout to reduce the phytate content and make the selenium more available.
So now we have covered vitamins, minerals and antioxidants within these that are especially helpful to manage skin problems and maintain healthy skin.
Focus on these food sources for a good month or two and see the improvement!
If you are worried about the quantity of overall minerals in your food or diet (or suspect malabsorption), a great insurance policy I recommend is a liquid mineral supplement. In addition to providing trace minerals in balance with each other, it also helps keep you hydrated and maintain energy.
If this is still not enough, I will soon be covering what other areas you may need to take a deeper look at, beyond just nutrients, that can help in achieving your healthy skin goals!

Just wanted to add my two scents as a natural soapmaker. French green clay is another way to treat your skin to some much needed trace minerals. It has been found that this clay knows what to replace in your system intuitively and what impurities to remove. With your skin absorbing so much, a person could use a bar soap that contains this clay (shameless plug… like my "Body Facial Bar soap") and get similar benefits without having to drink it.
Hi every body,
I used to have big problems with mineral makeup products, but am getting in better shape now. Here's a good site I found that really helped. It gave me great methods and skin care and showed me what I was doing wrong before…there's even lots of free articles on the site…http://deadseaproductstore.com
Pingback: 3 Minerals Your Skin is Craving
Might one obtain sufficient trace minerals from cooking exclusively with Himalayan salt (or even the Utah salt from which region it appears the above product is also sourced)? Seems easier to eat it than add it to a supplement regimen…
For some it may be enough, but for other who really need support and are depleted, a liquid version can be very helpful!

I bought the mineral supplement you suggested to add to the RO water I drink.I was concerned about the lack of minerals in my RO water.What really concerned me about the product, when I went through the website I was not able to find any information about whether the product contains fluoride or not.In fact, all of the information from labs etc….fluoride was not mentioned at all.It seems like the company is avoiding the issue.I do believe it is very likely that the product contains Fluoride.I won't use it.
I will make a nut butter out of pumpkin seeds and brazil nuts and knock out 2 outta 3. It only takes 20 seconds in my Vitamix to make smooth nut butter. I like the soaked, sprouted and dehydrated pumpkin seeds by GoRaw in the one pound bags. Good quality.
Thanks for the feedback Chloe!
Does anyone know any natural cure for folliculitis?
Does anyone know any natural cures for folliculitis on the scalp?
Is it ok to take these minerals as supplements? I am a vegetarian and so can't eat a lot of the foods that supply these nutrients. I have had trouble with my skin since going vegetarian and now I am beginning to wonder why. I started to occasionally eat fish again recently but have not seen any change yet. Thanks for your time.
Yes, the liquid mineral supplement is what I recommend to cover all trace minerals in balance: http://amzn.to/16AMipt
You may also need higher amounts of certain minerals, like the ones in the article to see a therapeutic difference.
I've had issues with acne and breakouts lately and thought it mostly stress-related. But perhaps I should try increased mineral use.
Definitely, it is worth a try! Also view my last post on vitamins: http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/essential-vitamins-for-radiant-skin/
I just wanted let everyone know that the zinc oxide works! I've been eating a WAPF nourishing diet for almost 2 years now, but still seem to get waves of detox symptoms every few months, including really bad acne outbreaks. I never wanted to put anything on in (benzoyl peroxide, etc) because I wanted to attack the underlying issue and know when I was symptomatic, but I'm 27 years old so it was pretty awful. But just last week I read an article linking zinc to acne which mentioned zinc oxide sunscreen as a "cure", so I went for it. I started taking a liquid zinc supplement and applied my son's Badger Balm SPF 30 Zinc Oxide Sunscreen (no nano-particles, no weird ingredients) at night. By the way, the tube was over a year old because I rarely put sunscreen on him! It's been 5 days now and my skin is about 80% healed. Incredible. The blackheads on my nose are gone and my skin is not oily/shiny or dried out. It really feels great. I hope this will help someone else too who is as desperate as I was!!
Thank you for the feedback Addie! So great to hear this worked for you!
Trader Joes, has a Zinc Oxide sunscreen for like $5. Not too sure about the quality, but for our large family that lives a mile from the beach it's much more economical.
Great, just check and make sure there is nothing else in it. Many "Zinc" sunscreens will contain harmful chemicals mixed in which can in turn be dangerous for your skin and health.
I would also consider magnesium an important mineral that is typically deficient in the SAD diet. That said, an excellent non-food source of both magnesium and sulfur (sulfate actually) is a good epsom salt bath.
Any comments on the copper/zinc ratio? I eat liver and kidney a few times a week, in addition to mussels. Is there any worry of getting too much copper or would liver and kidney be considered "balanced" foods in terms of their copper/zinc content?
If you are getting zinc and copper through foods, I wouldn't worry about the ratio as food has a natural correct balance, if supplementing levels may need to be monitored, or at the very least supplement for a short period of time.

My son is highly food-sensitive to garlic. We never cook with it anymore and it's the only allergen for him, out of all his other food sensitivities, that does not reduce with dietary changes. Something about the way the body digests/processes/metabolizes sulfur????
Yes, garlic and onions are common foods that people react to, may or may not be because the sulfur. Food sensitivities can occur because of over consumption/ exposure or typically digestive distress.
Soak and sprout brazil nuts? They get slimy and taste like mold. I have read not to do this. Should we soak/sprout them? Thanks!
I also read not to soak/sprout brazil nuts because of the mold factor and was wondering about this as well. Thank you!
Yes soak them, they do not sprout though. After soaking, place in the oven or dehydrator immediately to "crispy" them back up.

My skin is always craving Zinc, my GP told me that Zinc is also great for overall immunity!!!

BLUE HILL - After several years of declining health, Mary Ann McVety Perkins died Nov. 23, 2012. She was born Aug. 16, 1931, along with her twin brother George, to Joseph and Esther McVety of Corinna.
Mary Ann spent her childhood and teenage years in Corinna and was the captain of her championship basketball team. After high school she followed her mother and her Aunt Dora into the field of nursing. She attended the nursing program at Eastern Maine General Hospital and remained close friends with her classmates, who affectionately knew her as "Taffy." In her last year of nursing school she met the love of her life, Tom Perkins and they married in September 1953. She was his "wifey" for the next 59 years. Being a mother was a treasured role for Mary Ann. Kim-Anne was born in 1955 and Thomas Jr. in 1956. She was "mom" to countless others as she worked at Blue Hill Memorial Hospital, served in the Congregational church, as well as sang in the choir, served on the Four Town Nursing Service board and volunteered in countless ways to help others. She was the friendly, warm face of Partridge Drug Store, while Tom served in the state Legislature. Mary Ann could be relied on to take care of everyone and keep things running. As she and Tom began to spend winters in Florida, she continued to volunteer at Cape Coral Hospital, once again relying on her nursing skills at a blood pressure clinic. As many have said, she was a class act. A compassionate, genuine person, Mary Ann was a good friend to all. In her last few years, an important circle of her longtime friends generously returned to her their caring and love. Tom and Mary Ann have always been blessed with many good people in their lives, the core of whom were in the Blue Hill area. Spending her last winter in Blue Hill was her most important wish.
Mary Ann is survived by her husband, Tom; son, Tom Jr. and his wife, Martha; and daughter, Kim-Anne. She was very proud of her grandchildren, Pamela and her husband, James, and her first great-granddaughter, Lydia, Thomas, Megan and Max. All of Mary Ann's family was precious to her, but none more so than her twin, George McVety; brother, Fred Burrill; and their spouses, Judy McVety and Maureen Burrill. She is also survived by her older brother's wife, Barbara McVety. She will also be sorely missed by Tom's side of the family, Fred and Pat Perkins, Marilyn and Richard Canton, Lois and Ralph Cross. She has been "Aunt Mary" to and is survived by 23 nieces and nephews.
Services will take place Dec. 4 at First Congregational Church with the Rev. Rob McCall officiating. The time of the service will be posted at a later date. Memorial gifts may be sent to Blue Hill Chamber of Commerce or Blue Hill Memorial Hospital.
