Post subject: A few observations for the How could they trade Moss crow
A few observations for the How could they trade Moss crowd:
1. Viking record last 4 seasons with Moss: under .500
2. Of all sports, football is by far the most team sport, where unity and cohesion matters. Moss had become a disruption in the locker room and by requiring special rules because of his superstar status, undermined Tices ability to enforce overall team discipline.
3. Superbowls are not won with superstar receivers, but with, at minimum, a good defense. (If in doubt, name the Patriots superstar receiver or recall the Eagles without TO spanking the Vikings with Moss)
4. A receiving corps. ie. 3 starters more than good enough to win a Superbowl, can be paid with Mosss $9 Mill a year, leaving more for defense.
5. The necessity to throw deep a number of times in each game, significantly detracted from developing the diverse offensive game that the Vikings have the personnel for.
Dont confuse great film high lights of spectacular catches with playing winning football, especiall playoff football.
If, granted a big if considering the Vikings past blunders, they execute the draft and free agency in a competent manner, this will be a far better team next year.
It would go something like this: Pick defense with both first round picks, not a receiver. Far better quality/value/choice in WR in free agency. Trade Bennett (preferably) or Smith for starter at corner or safety, depending on the draft choices. Pick up one more defensive starter in FA and they are still well under the cap this year and in even better shape beyond.
2005 Vikings outlook: Small reduction in points scored, but longer time of possession, resulting in fewer opponent possessions. With fewer wasted downs, improved running game.
With 5 new starters (incl Harris) and much better backups, defense becomes respectable to good. Aside from coaching, they will be as good as the Eagles and better than the Falcons. Still couldnt beat the Pats or Steelers, but the best Viking team since the late 90s.

Exactly. 85% of the people here are so damn negative about it, but it's like...
they sign a wide reciever in free agency, then draft a defensive starter. How is this not going to work out... ?
Yes, Harris was stupid (a linebacker... and one that is not really an experienced veteran nor a definitive starter.) I hope he has another 100 tackle season though. He had one in his 2nd year, and probably woulda had one this year if he had been healthy the whole time. So I guess even that's not as bad as a lot of people are making it seem.
This all depends on who we sign in free agency though. It IS nice to get a problem gone either way.

i dont really see why all of the other vikings fans are running around like the damn sky is falling....look...yes he is the best in the game, yes maybe we didnt get quite enough for him, and yes, i will miss him and his antics, circus catches, and his great one liners...he will always be one of my favorite vikings of all time....however....he was a problem in the locker room for the vikings....i dont think anyone outside of the team realized how big of a problem it really was....when you get your quarterback, your best friend on the team, to say "...maybe enough is enough..." you know there was a whole lot more there than the team was willing to let on when he was in minnesota...now, its not to say that he will go to the raiders and be a distraction, he could be a team leader and have outstanding rapport with his teammates; in fact i would not be suprised if he puts up similar numbers (that is if the raiders can get a running back)....but he needed to leave minnesota....when your franchise player has lost youre two emotional leaders' (culpepper and birk) support, and the head coach cant control him, its time to part ways
plus, now the vikes can use the 7th pick for more defensive help, which we really need (johnson? rolle? pac man? cody? merriman?) and add a rookie receiver (clayton? williamson?) to go along with burleson and robinson with the 18th pick
vikes fans, its not the end of the world, just remember this: smart quarterbacks, good ground games, and defense wins championships....weve got 2 out of 3, and working on the 3rd.....

scenario 1: you have harris at olb, the seventh pick, the 18th pick, 34 mil. in cap space, and no moss...
team needs....dt, cb, wr, fs, k, lb still need a vet, g.
scenario 2: you have moss, the 18th pick, and 30mil. in cap space.
team needs....dt, cb, lb we still need a vet, fs, k, g.
someone please enlighten me...when you trade a player in the off-season aren't you supposed to adress team needs not create more holes to fill. for all those who say the trade was great cause no we have so much cap space...what the hell we already had the most cap space in the league. yes we can make this trade work but no matter what yall say we seriously got jewed on this deal...harris is no better than claibourne and we were going to let him go cause the team felt they needed to improve at that position...so like i said the trade straight up value wise is bs...just red mcombs last attempt to screw us over.....

Look what Nate burleson did when Moss was hurt..... He will do just fine without Moss and we have 34 million to go sign a FA wr.( I am hoping for Plaxico). I think we need to get rid of one or two of our RB because we have 4 capable starters (If you count Moore) and I think Bennet is a bum and we should get rid of him for whatever we can get.
We SHOULD take DJ or Rolle with the 7th overall pick because they are both playmakers and will be VERY good in the NFL. 18th pick we should get a DT to take over for Hovan. 2nd pick we need a saftey or Nugent the kicker from Ohio, cause the senior citizen we have now not even being able to kick the ball 40 yards is not cutting it.

I agree. I don't see why people are so mad. We got decent value in the 7th pick, which we can use to get a reciever that doesn't think he is the second coming of God, or a defensive stud. Most of the good defensive free agents got franchised, so we had to do something. We can also go to a free agent such as Plaxico Burress to replace him. This trade will work out for the best. Vikings = SB in 05'

| Health Advice & Tips
Many bewildered parents of teenagers ask this question when they feel at a loss understanding and dealing with their child's mood swings and behavioral fluctuations. For most teens, this is a normal phase that centers on healthy emotional separation from parents and the development of individual identity — culminating in well-adjusted young adults.
According to Freud, the years leading up to adolescence are referred to as the latency stage, during which time mental and physiological processes remain dormant and will become activated during puberty. From the early adolescent years, for some children as young as 10 (depending upon individual development), many intense changes begin to take place and to have a profound effect upon behavior. Rapid physical growth and the developing reproductive system result in hormonal fluctuations that can affect everything from mood to skin blemishes. When added to social and peer pressures, academic demands, athletics, and the myriad of enrichment activities offered to youngsters, many parents report that their once agreeable, pleasant children are suddenly displaying mood swings, irritability, low frustration tolerance, and contempt for their family members. Is it possible that my child is bipolar? is a commonly asked question of parents of teenagers because they are unprepared for the changes brought by this normal developmental stage. Similar to the toddler years, beginning with the favored word no at approximately age 2, adolescence is a powerful time in which the child's individual sense of self, identity and autonomy take root in what culminates in the loud statement to parents: I'm not you. In being themselves, it is almost a requirement for adolescents to like different music, clothes, movies, and to reject many things that their parents represent. How does a parent distinguish between the normal difficulties inherent in this stage with actual bipolar disorder, given the similar appearance. Bipolar disorder is a serious mental illness characterized by uncontrollable mood swings, the degree dependent on the severity of the illness. There are typically periods of profound depression; and at the other end of the spectrum, mania, which can be displayed in euphoric expansiveness or aggressive and irritable behavior. As with many emotional problems, the degree of disturbance is the key factor.What parents should look for:—Is your child functioning well academically, socially, and in extracurricular activities? Serious depression would impede these functions.—Does your child look forward to normal activities or suddenly avoid them? Depression causes loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities and a general loss of the experience of pleasure.—Are there suicidal thoughts or gestures, preoccupation with death, is death glorified? These are signs of dangerous depression.—Are emotional outbursts irrational or are they exaggerated responses to perceived slights or upsets? With emotions running high in adolescence, when one looks closely enough, the stressor can often be located. —Is there highly impulsive, reckless or potentially dangerous behavior present? The connection between actions and consequences should be firmly entrenched by the teenage years. Self-harm is never a normal response to stress or disappointment.—Is there undue pressure on youngsters to succeed, possibly beyond their personal capabilities? All youngsters are aware of their parents' disappointments. This adds another layer in addition to the pressures they put on themselves to succeed. Excessive parental pressure may contribute to depression and feelings of worthlessness rather than to high achievement. —Are there significant changes in eating, sleeping and other personal habits? The normal teenage body needs more sleep and more calories, and most youngsters are concerned about personal appearance. When they sleep through important activities or commitments, show sudden weight fluctuations, or allow personal hygiene to deteriorate, this may be a sign of more serious problems. In the end, most parents survive this inherently difficult stage and go on to delight in their children's accomplishments. Parental tolerance and acceptance will promote a smoother process.KAREN KAUFMAN, Ph.D., L.C.S.W., works in private practice in New Rochelle and on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. She is on the faculty of Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service in Tarrytown. How to Identify Childhood Depression While most adults can identify the signs and symptoms of depression, in children and adolescents it may appear as the following:—Increased somatic complaints — aches, pains, feeling a vague sense of illness—Irritability—Social withdrawal—Changes in sleep patterns —Changes in appetite and eating patterns — failure to meet expected weight gain, or excessive weight gain—Distractible behavior and poor concentration that may appear similar to ADHD—Decreased energy and motor retardation

Many couples who have just gotten married may see their matrimony as a lifelong partnership and the beginning of a new family. What they may not consider is what happens when the inevitable happens.
As parents, we can sometimes feel hopeless when it comes to stopping bullying at school. Here's what you can do if your child is the bully, or if your child is being bullied at school or online.

Country Fans Just Say No to Jessica Simpson
Jessica Simpson debuted her new "I'm country, y'all!" genre switch at the Country Thunder USA festival in Randall, Wisconsin, on Saturday. The audience wasn't feeling it completely, according to Kenosha News online.
Dressed in her Daisy Dukes, she performed new songs off her upcoming country album, including her hit "Come On Over." Hit it may be, but several members of the audience had an issue with Jessica's prescence.
"I just don't hear the country in her. She's not good enough to be here," said an audience member.
"It's crap," said another country fan.
"I don't know what your perception is of Jessica Simpson or what tabloid you buy," Simpson said, "but I just want you to know that I'm just a girl from Texas; I'm just like you. I'm doing what I love and dating a boy."
This is good, because country fans don't really identify with single lesbians stuck in dead-end jobs.

An online petition has been started in Prince Edward Island to remove the relegation round from Canadian curling championships.
Connor MacPhee dreams of one day representing Prince Edward Island at the Tim Hortons Brier.
He now knows it may be little harder with a change to the format being instituted next season by the Canadian Curling Association.
Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Yukon and Nunavut will play in a tournament with the winner qualifying for the 2015 Brier. The other three teams will not compete at nationals.
"I was disheartened to be honest," MacPhee said of his initial response to the change. "It's tough to grow/sustain curling levels, especially at a competitive level, if you're counting people out."
MacPhee started an online petition on Monday to show numerical evidence of the amount of people against the change. The petition will be presented to the association later this year and he hopes the association takes another look at the change.
"It's lacking unity as a Canadian championship if all your provinces are not being represented," MacPhee said.
Al Cameron, the association's director of communication and media relations, said members from across the country passed the motion leading to the change. It was done to create equitable opportunity to access national championships.
"Not every curler in Canada was eligible to compete," Cameron told The Guardian.
"We had to rectify that situation."
Under the former system, Nunavut couldn't enter the playdowns for the Brier and Scotties, Northern Ontario could not enter the Scotties while the Yukon and Northwest Territories had to come as a combined representative.
Cameron said the new system is not a relegation round, where teams are not able to compete in the tournament the following season.
"It's a performance-based championship and the teams that perform will access the championship," Cameron said. "Nobody is being left out of the mix."
The teams competing in the play-in tournament are based on the provinces' records at the event during the preceding three years. The system is already in place for the mixed and senior nationals.
"It's not just P.E.I. and Nova Scotia, so it has a Canadian impact," said MacPhee, 22, who has curled for 12 years and competed at national competitions at the junior and university level.
Eddie MacKenzie skipped P.E.I.'s men's team at this month's Brier in Kamloops, B.C.
"I think it would be nicer to have all the provinces there and the round-robin changed to accommodate it," he said.
MacKenzie said P.E.I. voted against the motion to change the format. While it will not impact his decision to try to qualify for the nationals, it may for some.
Equitable opportunity to access Canadian championships
What it means – There will be four-team play-in tournaments before next year's Brier and Scotties. The winner receives the last of 12 spots in the Canadian curling championships.
Why – The previous system did not provide equal access to all provinces/territories that were members of the Canadian Curling Association.
2015 play-in teams for the Brier – Nunavut, Yukon, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
2015 play-in teams for the Scotties – Northern Ontario, Nunavut, Northwest Territories and Yukon.
Online – There is a Twitter account (NoToRelegation) and an online petition against the change

You're completely wrong. FreeBSD's dummynet queues use weighted fair queueing,
and the weights only apply when the queues are full. Any service can use

DORSET'S fire service could be recruiting apprentices to tackle the problem of an ageing workforce.
Of the 798 people employed by Dorset Fire and Rescue Service (DFRS), only 91 are under the age of 29.
Those at the top have called the situation a 'major concern', with worries that unless the problem is addressed, the service is 'heading for suicide'.
Members of the Dorset Fire Authority's Audit and Scrutiny Committee have said they are fully behind the possibility of an apprenticeship scheme.
They heard from members of Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service which has set up a similar, successful initiative.
Tim Wareham, training manager at Staffordshire, said that hiring apprentices had had a 'profound effect' on the workforce.
The estimated cost for recruting an apprentice would be around £30,000 for three years.
In comparison, the estimated cost for recruiting a trainee firefighter would be around £75,000 for three years.
Dorset Fire and Rescue Service does not have any wholetime firefighters under 25 and only one manager in the service is aged under 40.
Chief fire officer Darran Gunter said although it is concerning, he was pleased the authority was taking steps to address the problem as quickly as possible.
He said: "We turned this around.
"We had the report in February and here we are in March listening to one possible solution."
As reported in the Echo, a decision over Dorset combining with Wiltshire will be made in September.
But members of the audit and scrutiny committee raised concers as to whether the implementation of an apprenticeship scheme could scupper merger talks.
Chairman Trevor Jones said: "We need to talk to Wiltshire because part of our decision about combination is about the need to do things more effectivelty, so we are going to have to shed some staff.
"At a time when we are shedding staff we need to be sensible about bringing in other people.
"Especially if it looks as though we are bringing in cheaper labour to replace costly labour.
"But we have not got a plethora of alternatives to this."
He added:"We are in favour in principle of this and we ought to work to continue on this but we mustn't make the mistake of doing it in too much of a rush.
"We must take our time properly over it, liaise with appropriate colleges and see what we can make of it.
"We have got to keep our feet on the pedal and not allow ourselves to get distracted with other issues."
The committee ordered another report so it can look more closely at the financial implications of starting an apprenticeship scheme.

The religion literature in Sociology remains largely disconnected from the ethnicity and immigration literature despite enduring connections between religion and ethnicity. This review helps to close this gap. It shows how the dominant theories in each discipline follow a similar trajectory and examines how exploring the theoretical connections between religion and ethnicity can advance our understanding of each social phenomenon. In particular, it can illuminate why America remains so religious as well as why America's religious congregations continue to be so divided along ethnic and racial lines.
One of the primary concerns of immigrants is establishing a transplanted version of their old religious organization in the new country [
This review shows how the dominant theories in each discipline follow a similar trajectory. They can be divided into theories that predict the decline of ethnicity and religion as well as those that account for the very opposite, the continuing significance of ethnicity and religion. Assimilation theories predict the decline of ethnicity and secularization theories predict the decline of religion. Besides these two dominant theories, there are a variety of other theories that account for the contrary. This review examines how exploring the theoretical connections between ethnicity and religion can advance our understanding of each social phenomenon. It can also help answer two perennial questions in the study of American religion—why America remains so religious as well as why America's religious congregations continue to be markedly divided along ethnic and racial lines, why Sunday mornings remain the most segregated hours of America.
Assimilation theories, which can be traced to the Chicago School of the early 20th century, deal specifically with immigrants' incorporation into American society. Secularization theories, which can be traced to sociology's very beginning, consider the broader effects of modernization on society in general and religion in particular. These two major theories in immigration and religion, respectively, are surprisingly similar. They both expect ethnicity and religion to decline if not disappear over time.
The classic assimilation model assumes that ethnic and racial distinctions have no place in a rational modern society. Forces of modernity—industrialization, bureaucratization, urbanization, and democracy—that emphasize status by achievement, rationality, and impersonality will eliminate the need for ascriptive racial and ethnic categories. Selection based on racial and ethnic criteria is a vestige of a pre-modern society. Focusing on a relatively homogeneous group of turn of the 20th century European immigrants, the process of assimilation is expected to be largely inevitable and irreversible, following a smooth, straight, and singular line [
Defining assimilation as a process of fusion and interpenetration, Park [
The secularization model also presents a social evolutionary perspective. Religion is expected to eventually yield to the forces of modernity. In the face of increasing urbanization, rationalization, and dominance of science characteristic of modernity, the decline and eventual disappearance of traditional religious belief systems was considered inevitable and irreversible. Religion was considered to be part of the "childhood" of the human race, "merely a survival from man's primitive past" that was destined to "disappear in the era of science and general enlightenment" (p. 587) [
Bryan Wilson makes one of the strongest cases for secularization. Defining secularization as the "process whereby religious thinking, practice, and institutions lose social significance" (p. xiv) [
Unlike Wilson who views religion as essentially a dependent variable, Peter Berger [
Both assimilation and secularization theories underestimate the resilience of ethnicity and religion. Ethnic and racial group identities and affiliations may have changed, but they certainly remain [
Assimilation and secularization theories are also limited because they are Anglo-centric. Classic assimilation theory prescribes a single path of incorporation—assimilation into a presumably homogenous white Protestant middle class [
Secularization theory is also Anglo-centric in that it has overwhelmingly focused on western societies, which are traditionally Anglo. Most of the contributors of the secularization model focus on institutionalized western, namely Judeo-Christian religions. Little attention is given to religions more popular in non-western nations like Buddhism and Islam. If classic secularization theorist had a more expansive view of religion and included non-Christian religions, they might have arrived at different conclusions.
Over 90 percent of the earlier waves of immigrants in the nineteenth and early 20th centuries were of European origin. Contemporary post-1965 immigrants, however, hail mostly from Latin America, Asia, and the Caribbean. The Hart-Cellar Act in 1965, which abolished the racially biased national origin quota system and sought to reunite families and meet market demand for skilled labor, brought more racially and economically diverse immigrants. Immigrants from Latin America are primarily low-skilled and uneducated, while immigrants from Asia include highly educated professionals and entrepreneurs on one end as well as destitute refugees and uneducated peasants on the other [
Persistent racial discrimination and institutional barriers to mobility lead some scholars to doubt that today's children of "people of color" immigrants will assimilate like the descendants of European immigrants. Ethnic/racial consciousness may emerge or reemerge in the face of these obstacles. Besides racism, greater opportunities to maintain ethnic identities made available through advancements in telecommunications, easy travel to homelands, and the ideology of multiculturalism lead others to render assimilation into the presumably white mainstream obsolete [
Responding to these changes, Herbert Gans argues that assimilation is a "bumpy-line" rather than a "straight-line" process [
In contrast to contemporary assimilation scholars who maintain a singular assimilation vision, Alejandro Portes and Min Zhou argue that there are divergent paths [
Other popular assimilation theorists maintain a general assimilationist future by reformulating the concept of assimilation. For example, Richard Alba and Victor Nee redefine assimilation as "the decline, and at its endpoint the disappearance, of an ethnic/racial distinction and the cultural and social differences that express it" (p. 863) [
In recent years, secularization has been revised to mean the declining "impact" of religion in society versus the decline of religion in it of itself. For example, Mark Chaves redirects secularization theory by arguing that secularization is best understood "not as the decline of religion, but as the declining scope of religious authority" (p. 750) [
Neo-secularists have also moved away from the linear prescriptive that religion will inexorably disappear. José Casanova argues that secularization theory should not begin with the premise that there will be a fundamental conflict between religion and secularization and that religion will become increasingly privatized and disappear [
Neo-secularists have further revised secularization theory by arguing that secularization does not mean the decline or disappearance of religion, but its change. David Yamane argues that post-secularists have misrepresented and unjustly criticized secularization theory to mean the evolutionary decline or disappearance of religion and argues that "mature," more recent formulations of secularization theorize the "transformation"
Following advances in secularization theory, assimilation theory should focus on how ethnicity "changes" in the process of assimilation instead of expecting ethnic and cultural distinctions to decline or disappear. Looking at recent works on ethnicity that challenge classic assimilation theory suggests that focusing on ethnic change instead of ethnic dissolution could be more useful. For example, while Gans is a strong proponent of the assimilation model, he finds that ethnicity can continue onto the third and fourth descendants of immigrants in an altered "symbolic" form [
Why is America so religious? A highly pluralistic modern country like America should be the least, not the most religious among the Western industrialized democracies. The visible presence of multiple religious worldviews and practices should undermine individuals' faith in a single religion, particularly one that is mono-theistic, absolutist, and claims to be "the" true faith. In view of this, critics of secularization theory are quick to point out that secularization theory is wrong—rising levels of pluralism does not lead to the decline of religion. Instead, increasing pluralism and competition among religions can provide more choices for individuals to choose the religion that best suits them and thereby increase church attendance [
Uprooting, migration, and resettlement can be a "theologizing experience" that can make religion all the more salient in the new country [
Immigrants were expected to shed their old language or nationality, but they were not particularly discouraged from retaining their own separate religions. Although it is clear to the immigrants that some religions are more valued by the mainstream than others, "becoming American" did not mean that they had to abandon their old religion in favor of "some native American substitute" (p. 1060) [
Post-1965 immigrants and their children are enlivening religion in America. According to the Pew Forum's 2007 Religious Landscape Survey, 84 percent of Latinos report that their religious affiliation is Christian compared to 78 percent of whites. According to the 2006 Faith Matters Survey, over a third (35%) of all Catholics in the United States report their ethnicity as Latin American [
The older cohorts of Protestants in the United States are predominately white, but the younger cohorts of Protestants are more diverse. Nearly four in ten (39%) of Protestants under age 30 are non- white (p. 45) [
Asian Americans, the majority of whom are foreign-born, are less likely than whites, blacks, or Latinos to affiliate as Christian [
While the majority of people in East Asia are not Christian, the majority (57%) of immigrants from East Asia in the United States are Christian (29% identify as members of Protestant churches and 27% identify as Catholic) (p. 49) [
Whereas less than 6 percent of the population in the Philippines report that they are Protestant, over 18 percent of Filipino Americans claim to be Protestant [
Besides enlivening Christian religions, today's immigrants are bringing and expanding other religions like Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and Islam [
Available data on today's immigrants' religiosity, although limited, provide tentative support for the thesis that immigrants revitalize America's religiosity. The American Catholic church would enervate without the constant flow of immigrant Catholics from parts of Latin America. Many Protestant congregations in the United States are finding increasing numbers of immigrants in their churches and large numbers of African, Chinese, and Korean congregations are joining major Protestant denominations [
The fields of immigration and religion have theories that predict the decline of ethnicity and religion, but they each also have theories that explain the very opposite. There are theories that respectively explain the resilience of ethnicity and religion. In this section, I compare and connect some of these theories. I show how combining our understandings of ethnicity and religion can help us to address another enduring question—why America's religious congregations continue to be so divided along ethnic and racial lines.
Religion is particularly good at providing individuals a sense of meaning, identity, and belonging. Classic works from Emile Durkheim's
As previously discussed, the ethnic church is where immigrants find a sense of belonging, value, and shelter in the new land. It is in many ways their über community. In his study of Southern Italian immigrants at the turn of the 20th century, Rudolph Vecoli found that religion is one of the important "tried and true ways of coping with the great Unknown" and helping immigrants to deal with the various challenges that they confront in the new country (p. 33) [
Ethnicity too provides a significant foundation for identity, meaning, and community. According to the primordial theory of ethnicity, racial and ethnic distinctions have been salient and have commonly demarcated the lines of inter-group conflict throughout history because racial and ethnic distinctions are the basic group identity of humans. They are deeply engrained in the very nature of human sociality [
The notion that ethnicity is primordial in nature is disputed, but there is consensus that ethnicity provides people with meaning, identity, and community [
Putting the similar functions of ethnicity and religion together, groups that are both ethnic and religious can have a stronger basis for meaning-construction and cohesion. The social glue is stronger. Ethnic religious organizations enable individuals to find community and construct a religious as well as an ethnic identity. Separate ethnic congregations may thus be popular in part because ethnicity and religion perform similar desirable functions and provide a more significant source for meaning and group solidarity.
Ethnic religious congregations for immigrants also offer a variety of social services and assistance and provide significant sources of social capital. Ethnic congregations are well-known for offering a host of services that facilitate immigrants' adaptation and settlement like assistance in finding child-care, schooling, and jobs [
Social scientists have used the general theory of rational choice, which argues that individuals act rationally to maximize benefits and minimize costs, to explain both the salience of ethnicity and religion. According to the rational choice theory of ethnicity, ethnic groups are essentially rational interest groups that struggle to gain benefits in an unequal competitive society through organizing around ethnicity [
Following this logic, an organization that is both ethnic and religious can have an easier time mobilizing and competing for members. Since religion tends to be more institutionalized and organized in American society, a group that is both religious and ethnic can attract more members and offer religious consumers ethnic as well as religious goods. Congregations that appeal to individualized ethnic
According to the National Congregations Survey and the Survey of Multiracial Congregations, about 90 percent of American religious congregations are racially homogenous [
Religions in America have strong ethnic foundations [
Stronger ethnic identities also correlate with stronger religious affiliation. According to the Faith Matters 2006 Survey, those with a stronger ethnic identity are less likely to leave the religion of their parents; are more likely to marry with someone in his/her childhood religion; and report that it is important that their children marry someone of the family's religion (p. 287) [
Systematic survey data on the religious participation of today's immigrant second generation is scarce. A rare example is Pyong Gap Min and Dae Young Kim's survey of 1.5- and 2nd-generation Korean American adults and Korean English-language congregations in the New York-New Jersey metropolitan area. Results of their survey show that about two-thirds of the adults who attended a Protestant church as children take part in a Protestant church regularly. And over two-thirds of the 1.5- and 2nd-generation Koreans that attend a Protestant church attend a Korean congregation [
Various case studies also show that today's second generation are turning to ethnic congregations. These ethnic congregations not only provide shelter from racial marginalization and opportunities for "birds of a feather to flock together," they offer a consistent social space where the later-generation can construct their own ethnic religious identities [
The continuing symbiosis between ethnicity and religion can thus contribute to the prevalence of separate ethnic congregations, particularly in a country that has an open religious market and enduring racial tensions.
Increasing globalization, ethnic religious conflict, and continuing and changing patterns of immigration have heightened scholarly interest in ethnic religious communities. Immigration and ethnicity scholars are no longer placing religion on the back burner. Most studies on ethnicity and or religion, however, speak to either ethnicity or religion theories and fail to see the interconnected nature of the two social forces. In response, this paper examined the ways in which the two groups of theories are connected and how exploring their linkages can illuminate our understanding of each social phenomenon. Following reformulations of secularization theories, assimilation theories should focus on ethnic "change" versus dissolution. Ethnicity will transform, but it will live on.
Looking at the developments in immigration theories, religion scholars should also seriously consider how immigration shapes the American religious landscape. Doing so can help explain why America is so religious compared to other Western industrialized democracies. Immigrants revitalize Christianity and bring and expand new faiths.
Examining the linkages between ethnicity and religion also help us to understand why America's religious congregations are so segregated. Ethnic and religious organizations have a stronger basis for meaning-construction and group solidarity. An organization that is both ethnic and religious can provide ethnic and religious rewards and have an easier time mobilizing and drawing members in the religious marketplace, particularly in a society where individual comfort is held at a premium and discomforting ethnic/racial divisions persist.
This leads to the final conclusion of the review that America's religious exceptionalism and America's ethnic/racial segregation are intimately related. Part of the reason why America is so religious, however seriously, may be because its religious institutions are so segregated. Allowing religious customers to relish in their ethnic/racial comfort zones and construct their own specialized unique identity and culture through religion and its institutions can heighten Americans' religious consumption. Religious leaders know that their religious consumers would be far less interested in what they have to offer if they forced their members to cross ethnic/racial boundaries. This underscores the point that American religiosity can't be understood outside of ethnicity and immigration and recalls the old saying that ethnicity is really the skeleton of American religion [

Generally, the incidence and severity of acute side effects are related to dose and frequency of administration. The most frequently reported adverse reactions include ulcerative stomatitis, leukopenia, nausea, abdominal distress, malaise, undue fatigue, chills and fever, dizziness, and decreased resistance to infection.[Ref]
Uncommon (0.1% to 1%): Dysuria
Rare (0.01% to 0.1%): Oliguria, anuria, azotemia
Very rare (less than 0.01%): Proteinuria
Frequency not reported: Cystitis, hematuria[Ref]
Common (1% to 10%): Leukocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia
Uncommon (0.1% to 1%): Pancytopenia, agranulocytosis, hematopoietic disorders
Rare (0.01% to 0.1%): Megaloblastic anemia
Very rare (less than 0.01%): Severe bone marrow depression, aplastic anemia, lymphadenopathy, lymphoproliferative disorders (partly reversible), eosinophilia, neutropenia
Frequency not reported: Hemorrhage, hematoma, myelosuppression[Ref]
Preexisting myelosuppression or low hematologic cell counts are contraindications to the use of this drug, particularly in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis. Close monitoring of the CBC is mandatory. Profound count nadirs may require therapy discontinuation, at least temporarily. Folate therapy and/or leucovorin rescue may be preventive or palliative. Treated patients who become febrile should be assumed to have neutropenia until proven otherwise.
Cytopenia occurs in 5% to 25% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who receive long-term therapy. Risk factors include renal dysfunction, preexisting folate deficiency, increased mean corpuscular volume value, advanced age, concomitant use of other anti-folate medications (such as trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole), and possibly hypoalbuminemia, concomitant infection, history of bone marrow injury, surgery, and concurrent use of NSAIDs or probenecid. Pancytopenia is rarely observed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Bone marrow recovery typically occurs within two weeks after the withdrawal of MTX.[Ref]
Very common (10% or more): Increase in liver related enzymes (ALAT, ASAT, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin, and LDH levels) is commonly reported but usually resolves within one month after cessation of therapy
Uncommon (0.1% to 1%): Development of liver fattening, fibrosis and cirrhosis (occurs frequently despite regularly monitored, normal values of liver enzymes), drop of serum albumin
Rare (0.01% to 0.1%): Acute hepatitis, hepatotoxicity
Very rare (less than 0.01%): Reactivation of chronic hepatitis, acute liver degeneration, liver insufficiency, liver failure, liver atrophy, necrosis[Ref]
Methotrexate can cause acute elevations of liver function tests (elevated serum transaminases in 15% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on low-dose therapy) or chronic hepatotoxicity (fibrosis and cirrhosis). The incidence of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis in patients with RA (low doses) averages 3% to 7% and 0.1%, respectively. Meta-analysis has revealed the incidence of progression of liver disease (worsening of 1 grade on the histologic classification of Roenigk) in patients with RA or psoriatic arthritis averages 27%, or 7% per gram of MTX (total dose) given. Chronic hepatotoxicity typically develops only after chronic use of higher doses (2 years or more of total doses of 1.5 grams or more), is more likely in patients who ingest ethanol, who are aged, who are obese, who have chronic renal insufficiency, or who have diabetes.
In general, the following serve as guidelines for patients with non-oncologic conditions:
1) Screen all patients to be treated with complete liver blood tests (transaminases, albumin, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin), hepatitis B and C serologic studies (some experts recommend viral serology's only in patients with abnormal liver function tests), baseline serum creatinine and complete blood count (CBC);
2) Baseline liver biopsy if the patient has preexisting liver disease, persistently abnormal baseline AST (aspartate aminotransferase), history of excessive alcohol consumption (greater than 3 drinks/day), or chronic hepatitis B or C infection;
3) Monitor hepatic enzymes every 4 to 8 weeks (with the understanding that they are not necessarily predictive of fibrosis/cirrhosis), discontinuing MTX if serum transaminase levels meet or exceed 2 to 3x baseline (some guidelines recommend withholding MTX for 1 to 2 weeks if significant abnormalities persist);
4) Liver biopsy should be considered if significant hepatic enzyme abnormalities persist for 2 to 3 months. Liver biopsy should be performed if 6 of 12 monthly AST levels are above the upper limit of normal or serum albumin levels are less than normal in the setting of well controlled disease;
5) If liver biopsy shows Roenigk grade I, II, or IIIA (mild fibrosis), MTX may be resumed with monitoring as described above; if liver biopsy show Roenigk grade IIIB (moderate fibrosis) or IV (cirrhosis), MTX should be discontinued;
6) MTX should be discontinued in patients with significant liver abnormalities, as described above, who refuse liver biopsy;
7) It is still debated whether post-therapy biopsy should be performed every 2 to 3 years or after each 1.5 to 2.0 grams cumulative dose given, regardless of liver chemistries.
*Pre-biopsy coagulation studies and withholding of aspirin and other NSAIDs are recommended.[Ref]
Uncommon (0.1% to 1%): Allergic vasculitis, severe allergic reactions progressing to anaphylactic shock[Ref]
Common (1% to 10%): Disseminated herpes zoster, pneumocystis carinii pneumonia
Very rare (less than 0.01%): Immunosuppression, hypogammaglobulinemia, sepsis, opportunistic infections (may be fatal in some cases), infections caused by the cytomegalic virus, acute paronychia
Frequency not reported: Nocardiosis, cryptococcus mycosis, disseminated herpes simplex, listeria meningitis, mycobacterium avium, intracellular pneumonia, systemic fungal infections (e.g., cryptococcosis, nocardiosis, aspergillosis, histoplasmosis), sepsis, decreased resistance to infection, pneumocystis jiroveci, pneumonia (most common infection), respiratory tract infection, cutaneous bacterial infections, pneumonia, reactivation of hepatitis B infection, worsening of hepatitis C infection[Ref]
New and/or opportunistic infection can arise during or after therapy with methotrexate due to drug-induced immune suppression. Infections during MTX therapy may occur in up to 58% of patients during low-dose therapy (as in RA). Patients are at great risk after high-dose therapy.
MTX should be held prior to and during elective surgery to minimize the risk of infectious complications.
Limited data have shown that the use of low-dose MTX for patients with rheumatoid arthritis is associated with decreased CD8 and naive CD4 T lymphocytes after only 8 weeks of therapy.
Methotrexate is usually contraindicated in patients with overt or laboratory evidence of immunodeficiency syndromes. Immunization may be ineffective when given during methotrexate therapy. Immunization with live virus vaccines is generally not recommended. There have been reports of disseminated vaccinia infections after smallpox immunization in patients receiving methotrexate therapy.[Ref]
Uncommon (0.1% to 1%): Osteoporosis, arthralgia, myalgia
Rare (0.01% to 0.1%): Stress fracture, nodulosis
Very rare (less than 0.01%): Pain, muscular asthenia or paresthesia of the extremities
Frequency not reported: Osteoporosis, osteonecrosis (aseptic necrosis of the femoral head), soft tissue necrosis, abnormal tissue cell changes, arthralgia/myalgia, back pain[Ref]
Nervous system
Common (1% to 10%): Headache, fatigue, drowsiness
Uncommon (0.1% to 1%): Vertigo, confusion, seizures, convulsion, encephalopathy
Very rare (less than 0.01%): Paresis, effect on speech including dysarthria and aphasia, myelopathy, changes in sense of taste (metallic taste), meningism, acute aseptic meningitis[Ref]
Rare (0.01% to 0.1%): Severely impaired vision, visual disturbances, blurred vision
Very rare (less than 0.01%): Conjunctivitis, retinopathy, transient blindness/loss of vision, periorbital edema, blepharitis, epiphora, photophobia, eye discomfort[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Lymphomas and leukemias have been associated with this drug[Ref]

Al can see in the log, there isn't any re-authentication.
Am I making something on the wrong way? Are there any other options that
could disable the re-authentication every minute?

Government has blood on its hands over driveway deaths
Government has blood on its hands over driveway deaths, says campaigner
Another child is dead because the government has failed to take effective action over driveway deaths, says the car review website dogandlemon.com.
Editor Clive Matthew-Wilson, who is an active road safety campaigner, says:
"New Zealand has the worst track record for driveway deaths in the developed world. The government's policies have quite clearly failed, yet the government still sticks to the same failed policies, ignoring proven solutions."
According to credible studies, reversing cameras are the most effective way of eliminating the blindspots that often lead to driveway tragedies.
The US government has just made reversing cameras compulsory.
Matthew-Wilson says the New Zealand government is mainly trying to stop driveway deaths by telling people to drive safely.
"30 years of international studies have shown that telling people to drive safely simply doesn't work."
"The facts speak for themselves. New Zealand's toll of driveway deaths is the worst in the developed world, yet the New Zealand government either does nothing or repeats the failed policies of the past."
An average of five children a year die on driveways in New Zealand and a child is seriously injured about every two weeks.
"A small child may be invisible to the driver of a reversing vehicle, even if the driver looks in all three mirrors. The safest solution is a reversing camera, which shows the driver what's behind his vehicle."
"No one claims reversing cameras are foolproof. They're simply the best, most cost effective way of preventing reversing accidents. You can fit one to your car today and be safer tomorrow."
"The government is currently investing $30 million on childproofing state house driveways. For $30 million you could fit reversing cameras to more than 150,000 cars in poor areas."
"Not only is the government's policy very expensive, it will be limited in its effects and will take years to make any difference."
"A reversing camera provides far better protection than a driveway fence. Remember also, a reversing camera protects children wherever the vehicle is driven, not just in the driveway at home."

CBS Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer seems to have fallen for the liberal lie that women get paid 77 percent of what their male counterparts earn as was evident during an interview with Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).
Blackburn appeared with Schieffer on Sunday April 13 and was accused of being against equal pay: "Are Republicans against equal pay for women and is that going to be a good political issue in these coming midterm elections?" [See video below.]
For her part, Blackburn shot back and mocked Schieffer's condescending question:
I find this war on women rhetoric just almost silly. It is Republicans that have led the fight for women's equality. Go back through history and look at who was the first woman to ever vote, elected to office, go to Congress.
The CBS host seemed shocked that Senate Republicans blocked a bill that did nothing to prevent pay discrimination, which is already illegal, and asked Blackburn "Why did the Senate Republicans then block blocked this?"
Unfortunately, Schieffer did not challenge his Democratic guest on the issue of equal pay the way he did with Ms. Blackburn. The CBS host asked Congressman Elijah Cummings (D-MD) "Marsha Blackburn says Republicans are actually for equal pay for women. But yet, it was blocked in the Senate by Republicans…What is going on here?"
If Schieffer were an objective host, he would have challenged Cummings when he falsely claimed that "White women are making 77 cents for every dollar a man makes, African-American women and Hispanic women, 64 cents .54 respectfully. There is something absolutely wrong with that picture." Instead of being an actual journalist, Schieffer eagerly accepted to liberal

Face the Nation
April 13, 2014
10:39 p.m. Eastern&
BOB SCHEIFFER: Let me ask you about this debate over equal pay for women.
MARSHA BLACKBURN: Sure.
SCHIEFFER: There was a lot of debate on that last week, finally Republicans blocked it in the Senate. Are Republicans against equal pay for women and is that going to be a good political issue in these coming midterm elections?
BLACKBURN: You know, I find this war on women rhetoric just almost silly. It is Republicans that have led the fight for women's equality. Go back through history and look at who was the first woman to ever vote, elected to office, go to Congress.
SCHIEFFER: But why did the Senate Republicans then block blocked this?
BLACKBURN: Well, because the legislation was something that was going to be helpful for trial lawyers and what we would like to see happen is equal opportunity and clearing up some of the problems that exist that are not fair to women. We are all for equal pay. I would love for women to be focused on maximum wage and I have fought to be recognized with equality for a long time. A lot of us get tired of guys being condescending to us. But you know I got to tell you, one of the things that we need to do is look at access to capital. Small business owners that are female, that is their number one problem, is access to capital. We need to also look at regulations. How that is affecting them, ObamaCare has been very unfair to women. We hear a good bit about this. Women are the primary healthcare consumers in the country. 80 percent of all healthcare decisions are made by women. Whether they are for their family or elderly relatives they are caring for, so I think -- and by the way, the White House paying women 88 cents for every dollar that a guy earns in comparable positions and, you know, they need to go clean up their own act first.
SCHIEFFER: Alright we have to stop there. There's so much news this morning congresswoman. We'll get the other side of this from the Democrats, but thank you.
BLACKBURN: Thank you.
SCHIEFFER: And joining us now Democratic congressman Elijah Cummings who has come down from his district in Baltimore this morning. Congressman thank you for being here.
ELIJAH CUMMINGS: Good to be with you, Bob.
SCHIEFFER: What about this, Marsha Blackburn says Republicans are actually for equal pay for women. But yet, it was blocked in the Senate by Republicans.
CUMMINGS: Yes.
SCHIEFFER: What is going on here?
CUMMINGS: I respectfully disagree with my colleague. Keep in mind, Bob, that white women are making 77 cents for every dollar a man makes, African-American women and Hispanic women, 64 cents .54 respectfully. There is something absolutely wrong with that picture. I have not seen them leading, as a matter of fact they seem to be very much against it. And I for the life of me I can't understand why
SCHIEFFER: Let me go back to Kathleen Sebelius and her resignation. You heard Marsha Blackburn say and she was at this conference of this group of Republicans many of whom are thinking about running for president. She says it is not going to change anything. Do you think -- what was the impact of her resignation?
CUMMINGS: Well, I think first of all, I am glad that Secretary Sebelius was able to accomplish all the things that she set out to do. Keep in mind she was with the president from the very beginning of doing what no president has been able to do in over 50 years. That is bring healthcare to people who do not have it. She's accomplished what she needed to accomplish. She set a goal of 7 million people signing up for healthcare. She got 7.5 million, 3 million others, expanded Medicaid. She's accomplished a lot with regards to disparities, healthcare disparities, women's health and she brought us, Bob, closer to an HIV/AIDS free generation than anyone. She has accomplished a lot. And now she sends the baton off to a wonderful public servant, Sylvia Burwell of OMB.
SCHIEFFER: Do do you think that ObamaCare is going to be an anchor, a rock around the neck of Democrats running this fall? It is by every poll still very unpopular.
CUMMINGS: Yeah, I think that we have to go out there and argue the moral issues, Bob, and I have said that. I've never ran away from ObamaCare, because I see in my district and I have a very diverse district of people who have been helped by it. And the idea that we now have gotten rid of preexisting conditions, which was affecting millions upon millions of Americans stopping them from getting insurance I think that is very significant. We have got to look at the good things, and we have got to go out there and make it clear it is something good for America.
SCHIEFFER: Is your sense of it that the problems with this system, not disastrous rollout, I mean that is over. But the problems with the system itself is it your sense that those have more or less been smoothed out or will there be more problems ahead?
CUMMINGS: I think that they have been smoothed the out. When it comes to the web site, the web site was a significant problem and that goes back to Sebelius. She was able to even with all of that and with opposition from the Republicans, she was still able to achieve the 7.5 million goal. And again, Bob, I think that it is going to be fine, and I think a as far as the web site situation it will be a footnote in history.

Reviews for Contest-Winning Chicken Cacciatore
Average Rating
"We've fixed this many times and the flavors really come together here!!"
"Found this recipe bland with a watery sauce. Will not use it again"
"We did use Rotel tomatoes with chilies and added sliced carrots too."
"Being that I never plan early in the morning for me to use a crock pot, I decided to make this recipe this afternoon anyway. I browned boneless chicken breast in my braiser. Added the onions and garlic till soften. Then added all the rest of the ingredients. Simmered the whole thing for about an hour. Removed the chicken and tossed in cooked angel hair pasta and tossed it all together. Put the chicken back on top and took the whole pan to the table. You would of thought I was chef Mario. Raves from everyone. They just loved it. THANK YOU FOR A GREAT RECIPE. They are already asking for it again. Hope you all enjoy it as much as we did."
"Super easy and delicious!"
"Glad I read the reviews and added more spices to give it more flavor. It was OK, probably won't make it again."
"I tweaked the recepie a little. I used boneless, skinless chicken breast that I seasoned and browned first in some evoo. I also added green pepper and few more spices to give it more flavor. Diced tomatoes with chili peppers gave it a little kick. It was a little soupy. Next time I'll mix in a little corn starch to thicken the sauce. My family enjoyed it."
"Really good. Used boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut back cooking time to 4 hours, added garlic."
"I wasn't very happy with this recipe. I have an old recipe that I compared it to and the older one was much better. It could have been my fault, because I used boneless chicken breasts instead of the breasts with the bone in. I am a firm believer that the bone definitely adds flavor. Also, my old recipe called for 1/4 C RED wine and green pepper. I did add the green pepper, but very sparingly because my husband is allergic to green pepper. Also, my old recipe called for a whole fryer cut up and browned. That could have made a big difference too."
"My family really enjoyed this meal! I had all the ingredients, which are pretty basic; even had sliced mushrooms in the freezer that I used. Simple ingredients, one-step prep, and a delicious result - perfect!"
"Delicious! Excellent recipe, very tasteful and enjoyable. I live on a little island belonging to France off of the province of NL and had a little trouble finding some ingredients at the shop, but I substituted a few things as pointed out in a previous review and it turned out perfect. Even some picky islanders here tried and it and enjoyed it. I'd go into further discussion on those substitutions but I might get accused of changing the recipe and not properly reviewing it. Rhijulbec needs to calm down and actually rate recipes rather than critique other reviewers. Real mature."
"I don't ever write reviews but I just had to for this meal. It was exceptionally good and my family loved it. I used Foodaddict617s helpful suggestions for the flavored tomatoes, and Italian seasoning because that is all I had in my pantry. And I also used the oven rather than a slow cooker. I made enough extra sauce to freeze for lasagna on a later night and my kids are actually excited for it!!! I had them help and dice some onions and green pepper to throw in the mix before freezing. This meal was truly delicious, thanks Taste of Home, and thanks for the helpful reviews. Also, I don't think substituting one seasoning for another and using flavored diced tomatoes counts as changing the entire recipe. It's all a matter of taste and a recipe that can successfully be changed according to what you have on hand is a very special recipe indeed!"
"I found Foodaddict617's review very helpful. I think 'rhijulbec' needs to grow up. I was happy to know that I could use any tomato sauce I had on hand and that I could successfully use Italian Seasoning because I don't have basil and oregano on hand. I was also especially happy to know that the recipe is still bright if I use water rather than wine, because my family doesn't use alcohol. And since I don't use a slowcooker I was happy to see that this recipe works fine in the oven, but I'm pretty used to making that substitution anyways. Thanks Foodaddict617 for your helpful information, and for trying the few substitutions you made for the rest if us who are afraid to try.Ps this recipe is really nice. It's fancy enough for company and quick and easy enough for a family meal."
"FoodAddict617- it seems you pretty much changed the whole recipe! I mean you practically wrote an entirely different recipe here! How is that reviewing THIS recipe.And to those of you who review recipes BEFORE you make it?? How can you do that? A review is supposed to be done AFTER trying something...hence the "re"in front of view...to review...look back at something. You are doing a preview which in food is pretty much impossible. Plus you bring what may be a good recipe's rating when you give it 4 stars! Cripes that's annoying!!!"
"Slow cookers don't produce as good a flavor as the oven, in my opinion. Also, the meat is tender but rather dry, as all the liquid is pulled out of the meat. Will not make again."
"Oh my goodness this was AMAZING!!!! I loved it, and it freezes perfectly!! I didn't use a slow cooker and I used chicken breast rather than a whole chicken. I baked it in the oven on 350 for a few hours and it came out perfectly. Some substitutions I made according to what I had in my pantry were: I only had ClubHouse itialian herb blend and used that instead of the oregano and basil alone. I didn't add any salt according to my salt reduced diet. But I did have the bayleaf, and I think that made the dish that much more delicious. I used a 398 ml (10 oz) can of catelli pasta sauce and a 14OZ can of alymer diced tomatoes (herb and garlic i think) because that's all I had on hand. And lastly I used water rather than wine and it was still yummy for those who may be wondering.. To make it easier I put all of the ingredients (except the sliced onions, they stayed on the bottom of the dish under the chicken) in a big measuring bowl and mixed it all together before pouring over the chicken. Even after changing up the recipe a little it turned out unbelievable! Next time I am going to dice the onoion rather than slice it, and I am going to make enough sauce to freeze for pasta sauce on spaghetti night, it was just that good!"
"Eh. Pretty ordinary, not extraordinary recipe."
"you must be kidding, it should be a crime to make this kind of food. just to good to be true. loved it and I WILL make it again. doylescott57@ yahoo.com."
"I made this yesterday and it was very good. I did not cook it in a slow cooker as my chicken was frozen and I've read not to cook frozen meats in the slow cooker. I put every thing together in a large pot and cooked it on low heat most of the day. Even my picky eater liked it. I served it over spaghetti but a grandson said it would be good over rice; will try that next time."
"Gloria, you can omit and/or substitute anything in any recipe, if it is not to your taste. You can just omit the mushrooms or try chopped green peppers, or onions, or olives, or celery. Experiment with the flavours that you like. That's what makes any recipe YOUR recipe."
"I am highly allergic to mushrooms. Would it change the taste a lot if I left them out and what could I use in place of the mushrooms."
"My famiy likes it. I used skinless & boneless thighs & drumsticks instead"
"This recipe was delicious. I added half a green pepper and a small can of sliced black olives to it. I think I will make it with chicken breasts next time but very yummy!"
"This was excellent .... clearly marked my recipe to make it one of my favorite recipes."
"could I just use a slow cooker?"
