Lust, monkeys and the science of human desire
The Washington Post:
Her unruly red-blond hair tufting atop her head, Deidrah sat beside Oppenheim. She lipped his ear. She mouthed his chest. She kissed his belly over and over, lips lingering with each kiss. After a while, he pulled himself up and strolled away from her attentions, glancing back over his shoulder to see if she was following. She was.
Deidrah, probably the most reserved female monkey in the compound, started in again on his white-haired torso as they sat together on a concrete curb. The habitat, a 120-foot square, was filled with ladders and ropes and assorted apparatus donated by a fire department and by McDonald's; an environment of trees and vines would have been too expensive to create and maintain. A trio of monkey children sprinted toward a tube, disappeared inside it, burst from the other end and raced around for another run-through, berserk with joy.
From a platform on a steel tower, Kim Wallen, an Emory University psychologist and neuroendocrinologist who has been working for decades at the university's Yerkes Primate Research Center outside Atlanta, gazed down at the habitat's 75 rhesus monkeys. This is the species that was sent into orbit in the '50s and '60s as stand-ins for humans to see if we would survive trips to the moon.

Well, it's the start of a brand New Year, and Michael Maynard is back with yet another interesting and entertaining perspective, this time about the relevance of an old TV show and the current political fanfare.
One of the guilty pleasures of the holiday season is to watch episodes of the original "The Twilight Zone." It has been 50 years since the TV show was first broadcast (1959 - 1964). The shows were in black and white -- I find the black and white makes the episodes more scary and ominous. The backdrops and acting are frequently over the top and cheesy, but they just add to the overall suspense. Writer and Producer Rod Serling's introductions were intense, melodramatic and pithy. I was five-years-old at the time -- I was allowed to stay up late on Friday nights to watch the scarefest. I became so scared that I couldn't sleep, but my fears weren't so consuming to prevent me from watching the Friday Night Fights and Make That Spare professional bowling show.
There were recurring fear-creating themes in the 156 episodes that were indicative of the time: explosion of the atomic bomb, unknowns of outer space and replacement of humans by machines. An astrophysicist and a priest have discovered a long-dead world that has been emitting a signal for centuries, the town that agreed to a "cultural exchange" program with space aliens, and the girl who trades in her parents for new, mechanical ones. Some of the shows involved timeless themes, such as the horrors of war, during the time of the United States' increasing involvement in the Vietnam War. One episode involved a National Guard tank crew seeing strange things while on war game maneuvers near the Little Bighorn battleground.
But there were more subtle continuing themes, such as the continued erosion of civilized culture. A bibliophile bank teller has all the time he wants to read the classics in the post atom bomb world; a man's old radio plays programs from the past that only he can hear; a mediocre saxophone player becomes the best musician ever but can only play to an audience of one, himself. Serling tried to show that the losses of culture to time, disinterest or machines causes the citizens of the world to be continually pulled farther apart, with little hope to be together again.
The similarities between the youthful, mediagenic President and First Family of that time to the President-in-Waiting and his family have been reported many times. There are lessons to be learned from the tragically short life and time in office of John Fitzgerald Kennedy as President that Barack Obama, or any newly appointed leader, should consider:
What's the mood? Kennedy intuitively understood that the Russian successful launch of Sputnik had made the populace fearful about the future. The US allies were concerned about America's losing political and military standing throughout the world. What was needed were new and different programs that would restore the national and international confidence. The race to the moon and the creation of the Peace Corps were bold, decisive and needed re-engagement programs.
Use the power of symbolism - The symbolism of the New Frontier made the Peace Corp and moon exploration programs seem possible, even though both were untested to the scale of previous similar efforts. The United States was going to lead the world towards the New Frontiers of space and peaceful internationalism.
Admit your mistakes and cut your losses - Being talked into undertaking the Bay of Pigs by the urging of the rich, politically supportive Cuban expatriates was dumb, undertaking the Bay of Pigs without the needed planning was dumber. While it was personally and politically difficult to pull out, it was the right decision. Other than major military escalation, there was no possible win scenarios and the downside of this approach was potential nuclear war.
Don't flinch under pressure - The television drama, "The Guns of August," showed the pressures on the young and inexperienced president. One wrong signal or misstep could potentially lead to the destruction of the world, a potential scenario that even the previous Presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry Truman did not face. Not only did Kennedy not flinch, but he also understood the USSR leader, Nikita Khruschev, faced similar personal and political demise as he did. That apparently small realization was integral to the Guns of August resolution. Not only did Kennedy not flinch, but his actions were correctly interpreted by Khruschev as allowing both of them joint political face saving scenarios. What Kennedy did and did not do was extraordinary for any leader, not just an inexperienced one.
Who do you trust? John Kennedy had his team of the "best and brightest" Dean Rusk, Robert McNamara, McGeorge Bundy, and others, but his relationship with them was problematic due their being out of the loop in the decision to undertake the Bay of Pigs. The options that were presented by these advisors were the traditional ones: use diplomacy, challenge the Soviet armada, find a Soviet proxy similar in importance as Cuba was to the US. Kennedy turned to the person who knew him best, his brother Bobby, who would both emotionally support and mentally challenge him as the best advisors do during crisis. It was unlikely that Rusk, McNamara, et al, would have come up with the naval blockade idea, but gaining their support of the blockade so that they would do their jobs accordingly was imperative.
Think outside the box - After obtaining the spy satellite pictures showing the Soviets building Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles silos in Cuba, all of the traditional responses to the threat may have led to an atomic war. One conventional option, do nothing, would amount to appeasement and signal tacit acknowledgement to the Kremlin that the new, young United States leader could be bullied into submission. Another conventional option, take out the missile silos by air was problematic because of the defensive anti-ballistic missiles used by the Kremlin to shoot down the planes would demonstrate the potential technological military power of the USSR to the world. The third conventional option, invasion of Cuba, would likely lead to World War III. The unconventional option, use a naval blockade around Cuba, took the Russian leadership by surprise, and made them reconsider their estimate of the young President.

How to remove Paradiskus "virus"
Here's a guide about a malicious software, AKA Paradiskus. We'll represent to you its pros and cons, and the methods to delete it forever. Here you'll see safe and effective techniques to delete Paradiskus from the laptop as well as from all modern browsers: Opera, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, IE and Google Chrome.
Paradiskus may be named the very dangerous and infamous adware of the last few weeks, and if you have experienced it lately – we can help you. First and foremost, you have to realize that this sort of infection has nothing to do with the real malware, as it isn't a virus, in fact. It's a utility, made for one goal: to show ads. Actually, the Paradiskus's aim is more complicated: it needs to show you links and makes it so aggressively that you will try to remove them and click on them. Our guide will clarify for you how exactly fraudsters receive their profit from advertising program, how it infests the computer and how you can get rid of virus.
What is Paradiskus. Removal reasons and methods
Scammers, or whoever are the guys who own Paradiskus, wanted to make it as irritating as possible, to make you click on banners. By doing this you let more and more viruses into the system. This manner is too easy. Paradiskus just shows lots of banners, links, pop-ups and ads, and as they crop up in the center of user's monitor, he wishes to get rid of them. Needless to notice that these links are not for hiding. There is no "fold" service for them, so any click starts another tab or a separate window with a viral site. It also may start a download of a viral file, so if the PC has adware and the browser settings are broken – the file will be downloaded. Through this plain way you receive more and more adware until Paradiskus functions in the system.
To understand how the device runs overwhelmed with undesired programs user has to learn how adware infects the device. The reason for it is the bundled installation. It surely is the easiest technique to infect the one's computer. Swindlers usually put their viral file on several portals and sit tight, until new victim installs it. As soon as the virus gets installed, swindlers rely on pure chance, so hackers might only hope that the operator will not read the EULA and will not try to understand what he's actually installing. For those who wish to cheat the penetration trough bundled download – these tips might help:
- Don't use programs, which hide their targets;
- Always read the EULA;
- You should refrain from using pirated programs;
- In any case, do not shut off your antivirus, especially if a suspicious pop-up offers you to;
Now, when you're familiar with the essential rules of computer safety, let's explain how Paradiskus works, for you to understand the ways to delete it.
When the defense is beaten, Paradiskus has a few things to do, which consists of creating new registry strings, scheduling tasks, altering the browser settings and altering the capabilities of browser shortcuts. We don't declare that the procedure is always the same, still the browser options are a top priority for Paradiskus, to ensure that your PC is assailable. In most cases, suspicious tool modifies the homepage and the pre-set search settings so that instead of the accustomed Google search you see the hackers' page. When you're using it for web-browsing – you expose the machine to the hazard of another infection. Strong advertising utilities can schedule system tasks for recovery after elimination. This function makes it really problematic to get rid of them totally. You can attempt time after time, clearing viral files and folders, but when you restart the PC Paradiskus will be alive and kicking. If you don't like this scenario you should execute a closer scanning or use a powerful anti-viral program.
Paradiskus removal tool
To eliminate this virus you have to choose one of two basic ways: by-hand and automatic. They both have certain advantages and drawbacks, and one of them may seem much better for your purposes than another one. The highly substantial advantage of hand removal is that you can execute it on your own, and there's no necessity to buy any additional utilities. The cons are that you can't remove the serious viruses are too hard to delete in manual mode. Except that, you should know a lot about the system to properly execute this method. Another approach requires you to purchase an antivirus, and since that moment your adware problems will be over. If you like the software variant – we'd like to introduce Spyhunter: the convenient, actual, efficient and swift tool, able to cope with whichever undesired software in brief term. If our suggestion interests you – press the button below.

Our Beliefs
They are the foundation for everything else.
Our beliefs are are the core of who we are. Rooted in Scripture and centuries of Christian thinking, our beliefs profoundly influence everything about us: how we interact, worship, teach, and encourage each other as part of a community. While we recognize that there are non-essential matters about which Christians may disagree, we believe the following matters of biblical doctrine are of "first importance" and essential for Christians:
The Trinity: God, Three in One
God who is infinitely perfect, infinitely great, and infinitely good. God exists eternally in three different and distinct persons—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—who share the same divine nature, power and authority.
The Father: God Is Love
We believe in a good God of perfect love and grace. God is all knowing, ever present, unchanging, and completely worthy of our trust and love. We believe in God's sovereignty in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the world.
Jesus, the Son: Fully God, Fully Man
Jesus is the incarnation of God's eternal Son—simultaneously divine and human, but without sin. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born to Mary, a young virgin girl. He lived a sinless life and died a gruesome death. He is God's only plan for our salvation, and in Him we can have eternal life.
The Spirit: Active in the World Today
We believe in the power and the ministry of the Holy Spirit today. The Spirit is eternally God, with the Father and Son from the beginning. The Spirit reveals sin in our lives, assures us of our relationship with Christ, empowers us with spiritual gifts, and guides us in our walk to be more like Jesus.
Salvation: God's Plan for Us
Through His death and resurrection, Jesus Christ provided the only way for us to be reconciled to God. By dying, Jesus paid the price for our sin. By rising , He made a way for us to have eternal life. Salvation is God's gift and cannot be earned.
The Bible: God's Inspiration
The Bible is God's Word to all people and the final point of authority for Christians. Human authors wrote the Bible under the divine inspiration of the Holy Spirit. God speaks to us through Bible, even today. The Bible is completely relevant to our lives.
The Church: God's Family
The global Church is a community of believers, not a location. The Holy Spirit empowers the Church so we can worship God, proclaim the gospel, and share God's love and redemption with a broken world. We remain committed to the Great Commission and being God's agents of reconciliation.
Eternity: The Next Chapter
We believe that Jesus will return to this world again as a final act to complete His work of redemption. Just as Jesus was resurrected from the dead, we believe that those who have faith in him also will be raised to eternal life with God. The choices we make today impact our eternal destiny.
Engaging with God
Believing in God is wonderful. Meeting Him is better!
Our beliefs drive us, but they're just the beginning. We believe that church can be about encountering God and letting Him transform us from the inside out. We hope that when you visit us you'll leave changed by an experience with God, not with an action list of things to make you a better Christian. We hope you'll experience God in the worship, the talks, and through prayer ministry. Everything we do is aimed at helping us grow in relationship with God.
Impacting Others
Things get real when our beliefs become action.
Our beliefs ring hollow when we do not back them up with action. We believe that the Bible outlines clear principles and values for living as individuals and as a community. We commit to modeling our lives on those biblical values and encouraging others to do the same. We don't pretend to have everything figured out, and so we embrace a little bit of messiness. But we also take seriously our calling to encourage one another towards growth in relationship with God.

QED Makes VIASENSOR Gas Analyzer Repair Fast-N-Easy
We are excited to announce our Fast-N-Easy Inspection and Repair Program for our VIASENSOR gas analyzers. We are doing away with our previous procedure and moving to a more streamlined and efficient program. This new and improved program will simplify the inspection and repair process for you, improve turnaround times on inspections and repairs, and in many cases, save you money!
As with any change, we recognize that there will be some questions. Below, you will find a list of frequently asked questions and answers that should help clarify things. If you have any additional questions, please contact us.
Why is QED making this change?
The main reason for this change is our desire to make the process easier for you, our customer and improve your overall experience with QED. When speaking with our customers, we heard some concern over the length of time that we were taking to complete repair on gas analyzers. We listened, investigated the situation and found ways to improve many facets of the repair experience. This simplified process will allow us to complete repairs in a more timely and efficient manner and even reduce cost in many instances.
What changes are you making?
To explain where we are going, we have to first discuss where we've been. This gets a little lengthy, so hang in there. Under our previous process, if your analyzer was in need of repair or calibration, you would contact QED and we would issue a Return Authorization, (RA), number. You would then ship the unit to us. We would receive the analyzer, inspect it and prepare a quote for all necessary repairs, (this would include an inspection fee and calibration fee). Your analyzer would then be cataloged and placed in our holding area while we waited for approval of the quote. Those approvals could often take as long as two weeks to receive. Once quote approval was received, we would complete all repairs, test the unit and ship back to you. We would then invoice you for all repair costs and return freight charges.
With our new Fast-N-Easy program, you will be quoted a flat rate repair fee, (based on your analyzer model); at the time you contact us to request a Return Authorization. You will then issue a purchase order, (or provide payment via credit card), for that flat rate fee and send your analyzer to us. We will receive the unit, inspect it, repair it, calibrate it, test it and ship it back to you via 2nd Day Air. All parts, labor and return shipping charges, (2nd Day Air only), are included in the flat rate fee. So, there will be no additional charges and no delays due to quoting the repairs!
Are all potential repairs included in the flat rate fee?
No. We looked at our repair history and identified the most common and frequent repairs and included them as part of the Flat Rate fee. We estimate that this will cover approximately 90% of all of the repairs that we perform. There are some repairs that we felt were outside of the norm, (replacement of processor boards, cases, etc.). Those repairs will still be quoted as an additional expense and will require customer approval before we proceed.
So, what do I get as part of the Fast-N-Easy program that I'm not getting now?
We're glad you asked. Not only did we include a number of common repair parts as part of the flat rate fee, we also included a replacement shipping box, (if needed), and return freight, (2nd Day Air only). The chart below provides a quick overview:
The free Return Shipping is great. But what if I want it shipped Next-Day-Air, instead of 2nd Day?
Any premium freight upgrade, (Next-Day-Air, etc.), will be your responsibility and will be invoiced as a separate line item.
When does the Fast-N-Easy program go into effect?
January 31, 2017.
How much will this cost?
Flat rates vary, depending on the model and features of the unit. Please contact QED to request Fast-N-Easy pricing for your specific device.
As a customer, how do I benefit from these changes?
A simplified procedure
Improved completion times for repairs and calibrations

Raven-Symone Debuts Rainbow-Colored Hair [PHOTOS]
Raven-Symone is a big fan of switching up her hair, but she took to Instagram last night (June 9) to debut a color that would make Demi Lovato proud.
The former 'That's So Raven' star shared her dramatic new look via the photo sharing app, posting three pictures of her new, rainbow-colored locks.
"A few tracks don't hurt, ain't to many tho! Loving my washy purp and grey! Here I come San Fran!" Raven captioned the above selfie. She may call out the "washy purp and grey" colors, but there are also strands of platinum blonde and hot pink in there. We love it!
The actress, who is apparently headed up to school in San Francisco, wanted a new look for her fresh start.
"My last Friday in la before I start my life as an #oncampus student!" she captioned another shot. "New hair for a new life! #hellyea."
We couldn't be happier for Raven, who came out as gay in a heartfelt tweet last summer. We think her hair looks amazing, and we're super proud of her for loving school so much! Work it, girl!
Check out more photos of Raven-Symone's new rainbow-colored hair below!

The Gallery---- Tomorrow
After a week's blogholiday I am actually really pleased to be back in blogging action! I'm also excited about taking part in The Gallery this week as I missed last week's altogether.
The theme for The Gallery this week was a tricky one. Tomorrow. How do you interpret that? I took my entry on Saturday evening, whilst we were still on holiday in Devon. The following day we were planning a drive across the border into Cornwall to my favourite place in the whole world, St Ives.
I love maps. Does that make me sound like a complete geek? Not just beautiful old antique ones either- I'm more than happy pouring over the AA 2011 Road Atlas of the British Isles (you know- the one you get from petrol stations for £2.99 with any fuel purchase). I adore looking at all the village names and checking them off in my head as we pass them in the car. I've not got sat nav and I don't want it either.
I've also added one of my favourite songs to this post so you can listen to it whilst you're looking at all the other entries to The Gallery. Beth Orton's 'Thinking About Tomorrow'.
I'm off to see everyone else's interpretations now. Enjoy x

Most people know that coronary artery disease (CAD), like all chronic disease, takes 20 plus years to develop and is due to several root-causes or risk factors. The American Heart Association (AHA) 2020 Impact Goals recognizes 7 key risk factors: – not smoking, physical activity, normal body weight, optimal cholesterol, blood pressure and fasting blood sugar. In a study of these seven simple habits of 17,820 adults (aged 45- 98) only 2 met all seven criteria!
With the exemption of smoking all other risk factors are connected to "insulin resistance" the primary cause of 'diabesity', CAD and most other chronic disease.
As William Davis MD writes: –
"Millions of people have undergone CT heart scans that provide a heart scan or coronary calcium score. Unfortunately, people are then advised by doctors to take a statin drug, aspirin, a beta blocker or other combination of drugs that do NOT stop the 25-30% year-over-year rise in score. This eventually leads to heart attack or needing heart procedures like bypass surgery, angioplasty, or stent implantation, even death.
Doctors say that there is nothing you can do to stop this rise in heart scan score. What they are really saying is that there are no DRUGS or PROCEDURES that they can provide beyond the useless ones they prescribed. They did NOT tell you that there are a number of crucial non- drug and non-procedural ways to reduce your heart scan score and reduce, even eliminate, risk."
The Program
As with all our programs they are done in 3 simple steps: –
Step 1 Measure
we see where you are on the Wellness-Illness continuum and calculate your Cardio-Metabolic Risk Score.
Step 2 Mentor
Eternity Medicine, our partner, believes that 100% of people with CAD have "insulin resistance." Most cardiologists believe that 75% of the people they see for heart disease have diabetes or pre-diabetes (We believe the other 25% are just not properly diagnosed).
We are experts in reversing insulin resistance, often within one week. There are two master metabolic switches in the body AMPK and mTOR and we focus on those lifestyle factors that influence these switches to reverse your heart disease (and hypertension).
Step 3 Monitor
Each client receives a free APP so they can track how your risk factors are improving with support from our physician and lifestyle coaches.
How to get started

Full QuestionIf a priest can't drink wine, will any other liquid he drinks at Mass become the true Blood of Jesus?
Scripture tells us that Jesus used bread and wine. The Church's canon law tells us, "The wine must be natural from the fruit of the grape and not corrupt" (can. 94, para. 3). There are some Christians who believe that it is a sin to drink wine, and so they use grape juice. But it was only in the last century that men learned how to keep grape juice from fermenting. Jesus used only wine. The Church does not have the authority to change what Jesus instituted.By Fr. Vincent Serpa O.P.

Training in better agricultural practices is core to helping farmers improve their income. Typically this is done in field schools, which are literally held in cocoa fields and are hands-on and practical based ways to learn how to farm better. However after a few years they can get repetitive and so to re-energise the learning process we've introduced video training.
Villages have limited electricity and few homes have televisions, so the videos have the advantage of being entertaining as well as educational. Battery run projectors are now relatively low cost making this technology accessible. The person in charge of the training - the lead farmer – narrates and explain what is happening by pausing the video at key moments.
We are trying this in various regions, with one supplier in particular having run eight sessions with good feedback from the farmers. On average 40 people participated in each session, but in some villages as many as 100 attended, and of these participants, 20% were women.
The cooperatives also took the opportunity to show other videos produced by UNICEF on topics such as violence against women and the importance of good hand hygiene.

Minneapolis, MN (February 24, 2019) – Welterweight contender Bryant "Goodfella" Perrella improved to 16-2 with 13 knockouts after impressively defeating Breidis Prescott via unanimous decision.
The eight round fight aired on FS2 as part of a Premier Boxing Champions card from the Minneapolis Armory in Minneapolis, MN.
Fighting for the first time since a gutsy majority decision defeat against Luis Collazo the 29-year-old spent time in Las Vegas training alongside some of the world's top fighters. During a sparring session, He caught the eye of boxing legend Jesse Reid, who then joined Team Perrella.
The Fort Myers, FL native found an early home for jabs, straight left hands and crisp body shots. Perrella displayed excellent ring generalship throughout the fight while confidently showing Prescott it wouldn't be his night. Prescott did land a few solid shots and knew he'd need a knockout to win in the later rounds but Perrella didn't falter.
Scores were 79-73 twice and 78-74.
"Mindset is everything in boxing," Perrella said of his victory. "I've got the right team around me and they're helping me realize who I am as a fighter and what I'm able to do. The fighter you saw in there is the real me. The confidence, ring generalship, the swagger; that's who Bryant Perrella truly is."
With Reid joining head trainer Michael Nowling, Perrella's plan is to return to the gym after a short rest and continue to sharpen his skills before the next fight.
"I'm always looking for tough challenges and am down to face anybody in the welterweight division. What you saw against Prescott is just a preview of who Bryant Perrella really is."

Slow cookers, or crock pots, are a fantastic addition to your kitchen. They help save time and money, and make it simple to get a delicious dinner on the table after a busy day.
Want to learn more? Click here to find out the many Benefits of a Slow Cooker.
I've recently been trying out this 5.7 litre slow cooker from Crock Pot*. Did you know that Crock Pot made the original electric slow cooker back in 1970? Since then, they've kept up to date with the latest styles and tastes in slow cooking, and their range of products reflects this. They have a range of slow cookers to suit every size of family, and they all deliver great tasting food without you needing to spend hours in the kitchen.
This particular model is a generous 5.7 litre slow cooker, which will easily feed six hungry people. There are three settings – low, high and a warm setting for keeping food warm when it's finished cooking. And it has a hinged lid, which solves that annoying problem of where to put the lid down while you're adding ingredients later on in the cooking process.
The lid can be removed for easy cleaning – you'll be glad to hear that both the lid and stoneware are dishwasher safe. And the stoneware pot can even be used in the oven as well. This Crock-Pot is a high quality piece of kitchen equipment from a company who know more about slow cooking than pretty much anyone!
But there's definitely a right way and a wrong way to using a slow cooker. Yes, you can just chuck everything in and turn it on, but a few little tricks will help you to get the most out of your slow cooker. So I've pulled together a list of over 20 tricks, hints and tips to make slow cooking really simple:
Choosing your Slow Cooker
Make sure you get the right size of slow cooker to suit your needs. Slow cookers come in a range of sizes so you need to be sure that you're using the right one for the recipe you're cooking. A 3.5 litre slow cooker will generally fit 4-6 portions. A 5.7 litre slow cooker will feed at least six, which is great if you want to batch cook for the freezer or regularly feed a crowd.
Check out the features on the slow cooker you're planning to buy. The Crock-Pot that I've been testing has a handy hinged lid, and others have digital timers or a switch that will switch setting when the food has finished cooking.
Care for your slow cooker. The ceramic or stoneware pot may crack if it's exposed to sudden changes in temperature. So let it come to room temperature before you turn it on, and don't place a hot stoneware directly onto a cold kitchen top.
Choosing your Ingredients
Don't use frozen food. It may be tempting to pre-freeze ingredients for slow cooker meals and just add them to the slow cooker straight from the freezer. But this is a definite no-no as it can lead to food poisoning. Make sure that your food is all fully thawed before you turn the slow cooker on.
Choose the right cuts of meat. There's no point cooking expensive lean cuts of meat as they tend to dry out. Tougher joints like pork shoulder, lamb shanks and short ribs are ideal for the low slow heat of a Crock-Pot. But on the other hand, slow cooking is great for venison and brisket, and really helps to tenderise them.
You can use less meat in a slow cooker. The slow cooking process helps to bring out the flavour of the meat, so you can get away with using less. Bulk up stews and pot roasts with vegetables instead.
Preparing the Ingredients
Trim away excess fat. You need to remove any excess fat from meat to avoid ending up with a greasy, oily sauce. If you are cooking chicken joints, it's a good idea to remove the skin from the chicken as well.
Brown your meat to add flavour. If you're short of time, then feel free to skip this step – you'll still end up with a delicious meal. But if you take a few minutes to brown meat and quickly saute your vegetables, the flavour will definitely be improved.
Don't leave any flavour behind. All those caramelized bits on the bottom of the frying pan are packed with rich flavour. Deglaze your frying pan with a little wine, stock or even water, and add them to your slow cooker for even more tastiness.
Watch how much wine you add into the slow cooker. The alcohol won't evaporate away as it would when you're cooking on the hob or in the oven. This means you can add less for the same boost in flavour.
Getting Organised
It's great to get dinner cooking in the morning before you go out, but you need to do a little planning first:
Get ready the evening before. cut meat and vegetables into even sized pieces, and trim any excess fat from the meat. Measure out any other ingredients and liquids. Store each component in separate containers in the fridge.
Finish it off in the morning. Add the ingredients to your slow cooker, browning them first if you want to (and have time). If your slow cooker doesn't have an automatic switch, make sure that you'll be home fairly close to the end of the cooking time.
A tip for when you're really short on time. Prepare all of the meat, veg and dry ingredients and add to the slow cooker insert. Cover and store in the fridge overnight, then you just need to add liquids in the morning. Make sure that you will have time to bring the stoneware up to room temperature before switching the cooker on!
Adding Ingredients to the Slow Cooker
Add ingredients in the right order. Make sure you cut your ingredients into even-sized pieces so that they all cook at the same rate. Harder vegetables like potatoes and carrots should go at the base of the stoneware, closer to the heat sauce, and they need to be covered by liquid.
Avoid overcrowding your slow cooker. Generally you want to avoid filling your slow cooker above two-thirds full, check your manual for specific instructions. You also need to be sure that the lid fits snugly on top. So if you know that you will want to cook big roasting joints, make sure you go for a larger slow cooker.
Don't add too much liquid. The liquid won't evaporate like it does when you cook on the hob or in the oven. So make sure that you don't add too much liquid to your slow cooker. The liquid should just cover the meat and vegetables. If you overfill it, the liquid will overflow out of the top and your food won't cook as well.
Tips for thickening your sauces. The liquid in a slow cooker doesn't thicken, so you need to use a couple of tricks for a rich, thick sauce. You can roll your meat in a small amount of seasoned flour, before adding it to the slow cooker. This works particularly well if you are browning your meat first. If you aren't browning the meat, then mix a couple of teaspoons of flour with a little cold water to form a slurry. Stir this into the slow cooker about 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time and replace the lid.
Using the Right Settings
Choose the right heat level. Generally a recipe will take twice as long to cook on high as it will take to cook on low. So make sure you pick the right heat setting for your requirements.
Use Low heat if possible. Unless you need a recipe to be cooked in a shorter length of time, try to use the Low setting wherever possible. Most dishes will benefit from the slower, more gentle cooking. It also means that you can leave your dinner to cook all day, which can be really convenient.
Cooking Times
It's possible to convert standard recipes for use in a slow cooker or Crock-Pot. You will need to reduce the amount of liquid, and alter the cooking times.
- If a dish usually takes 15-30 mins: Cook for 1-2 hours on High or 4-6 hours on Low
- If a dish usually takes 30-60 mins: Cook for 2-3 hours on High or 5-7 hours on Low
- If a dish usually takes 1-2 hours: Cook for 3-4 hours on High or 6-8 hours on Low
- If a dish usually takes 2-4 hours: Cook for 4-6 hours on High or 8-12 hours on Low
Don't lift the lid! Every time you open the lid of the slow cooker, you will add around 15-20 minutes to the cooking time. This is because it takes that long for the contents to go back to the cooking temperatures.
And don't stir it either! It's not usually necessary and just cools the food down even further. Only open the slow cooker around 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, to check if it's done.
Final Touches
Add dairy at the end. Dairy products like sour cream, milk and yogurt can tend to break down in the slow cooking process. So only add them in for the last 15 minutes of the cooking time.
Finish with a fresh touch. Add chopped herbs, a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of grated cheese to brighten the appearance and flavour of your dish. It will also help to cut through the richness of slow cooked sauces.
One final safety note. If you find that you've left your filled slow cooker unplugged for hours, or have accidentally selected 'warm' instead of one of the cooking temperatures, I'm afraid your food is unusable. To avoid the risk of food poisoning, throw it away and start again.

Many things have changed since November when we kicked off the 2010 fantasy baseball sleeper posts. For one, the date. For two, some of these guys are no longer that sleepery. For three, hut-hut-hike! As long as you don't reach too far, sleepers can make all the difference on your team. You're not grabbing a sleeper in the first round. You're not like, "Hey, Drunky Cabrera, you walk that line, I'm going with Garrett Jones." You should have a solid foundation in the first eight to ten rounds, then mix some sleepers in after that. If you click on the names for these players, there's entire posts about them with their 2010 projections. Anyway, here's some sleepers for 2010 fantasy baseball:
Alcides Escobar – Forty steals from Alcides wouldn't be surprising. He's especially nice if Web Gems is a category in your league.
Colby Rasmus – In front of Pujols and Holliday might hinder Rasmus' running game, but he should still be good for 15-20 homers and 10 to 15 steals.
Ian Stewart – Who is this Ian Stewart you talk of? I have never heard of him. Okay, no fooling, but the other night I had a dream that Ian Stewart had a complete collapse and was benched for Mora. Granted, the girl from Seymore Butts and Thomas Jefferson were also in the dream and I was smoking opium… Nevertheless! Stewart's really not far away from sleeper sell material if you need to draft him in the top 100. 12th round or higher? Much better. (Side note, I was at a sushi restaurant the other day — Grey loves sushi as much as he loves referring to himself in third person. Was sitting at the sushi bar when a smoking hot girl sits down next me. It was the girl from Seymore Butts. I didn't recognize her. You can giggle and say I'm lying. You'd be surprised how unrecognizable a porn star is in clothes. It's like putting glasses on Clark Kent. So we start talking and she reveals who she is and asks me if I'd like a few free DVDs. She has them in her car, which is parked in the back. I agree; you would've too. Don't judge. She gives me 5 DVDs. For those who aren't hip to porn DVDs. Their covers are graphic. As we said goodbye, I realized I was parked in the front of the restaurant at a meter. Yes, I had to walk back through the restaurant to get to my car. I could've stuck the DVDs under my shirt, but I manned up, and walked very quickly. Still, everyone saw what I was carrying. The sushi chefs' smiles were priceless. A group of women dining there looked at me like I was everything wrong with men. Finally, I get outside. Only to find a female meter maid giving me a ticket. I put the DVDs behind my back and rush up to her. Please, I tell her, I'm leaving right now. It's already started. Buh-buh-but! Just then, a group of teenagers approach from behind me and start screaming, "Check out his videos! He's a pervert!" Yeah, I took the parking ticket.)
Brandon Wood – The time appears now, unless Scioscia thinks the time is not now and he goes with The Figgy Duets (Maicer and Aybar). If Wood penetrates the lineup (sticking with today's post theme), he could be Ian Stewart 10 rounds later.
Jay Bruce – If Bruce does what he's capable of, he will be overrated in 2011.
Dexter Fowler – Sorry, even sometimes I admire my own work and the post title under Fowler's name is classic. And I don't even get Showtime! Fowler is in the unenviable position of a crowded outfield. If he stumbles out of the gate, I could see his time being reduced.
Carlos Gonzalez – I've been meaning to write an entire post on this, but Spring Training's falling through the hourglass, so this post will have to do. CarGo has to deal with a crowded outfield too. Somehow CarGo's risen way up draft sheets while Fowler's stayed pretty reasonable. A 10/30 season from Fowler seems as likely as a 20/20 season from CarGo. No reason CarGo should be priced that much higher. I have CarGo about 20 places higher in my rankings. Yet, I hear people returning from a draft where Fowler isn't drafted at all and CarGo is going in the first 100 picks. Huh?
Chris Davis – I'm a sucker for low average, high power, some speed guys. It's the new three outcome player.
Julio Borbon – Yeah, the Rockies and the Rangers have some upside candidates.
Nolan Reimold – Heal, Achilles' heel. Please.
Garrett Jones – Everyone seems to think Garrett Jones can't build on his 2009. And I'm kinda in that group. But still, the Pirates will play him and he's not exactly being drafted that high.
David Price – I gotta be honest, I've seen Price in drafts and I've had a hard time pulling the trigger. I just picture myself curled up in a ball crying while watching him pitch against the Yankees or Red Sox.
Jonathan Sanchez – I've had no problem drafting this doode.
Carlos Quentin – If he can stay healthy, he'll be overrated next year. *fingers crossed*
Denard Span – Yeah, he's pretty yawnstipating, but there's a place for that on some teams. (Damn, that was the worst sales pitch since David Price's blurb.)
Geovany Soto – When he showed up camp forty pounds lighter, Soto said, "I used to be a little sluggish — like 'I want to take a nap.' Now I feel great and I just want to put myself in the best position to help the club." Sounds like a line from an afterschool special about how marijuana is a gateway drug.
Elvis Andrus – I've almost convinced myself that Andrus is going to be as valuable this year as Jose Reyes circa 2008. Almost. Like in a game of horseshoes. A game of horseshoes!

LAS VEGAS -- On Friday, bantamweight Nonito Donaire and WBO/WBC king, Fernando Montiel (44-2-2, 34 KOs, each successfully weighed in at the division limit of 118-pounds for Saturday night's HBO televised clash at the Mandalay Bay Hotel.
But, there was some drama.
Donaire (25-1, 17 knockouts) arrived to the weigh-in about five minutes prior to the announced starting time of 3PM. Donaire then stripped to his waist, stepped onto the scale, and quickly stepped off before hastily leaving the stage and appearing to be hustled out of the restaurant in the center of several camp members and a bodyguard.
In the wake of Donaire's exit, members of Montiel (44-2-2, 34 KOs) were noticeably upset, with at least one of them gesturing upward with a pointed index finger and mouthing that the Filipino boxer was "over the weight limit by about a pound." Top Rank Promotions CEO, Bob Arum, grabbed a microphone and announced that the weigh-in would begin at 4 p.m., an appearance of pushing the event back an hour.
At about 3:20 p.m., Donaire returned, stepped on the scale, and was announced to have weighed 118, as did Montiel soon after.
"We came from Nonito's room and his scale, and he was at 117 pounds. So I told him, 'You know what?' No. I don't think that you're that light. So I said, 'Let's go and do it on the official scale,'" said Robert Garcia.
"So that's the only reason that we came and checked his weight on the official scale. We came down here and checked him with his pants on, and he was 118 and a half. So I said, 'You know what? You're right on weight.' That's a half a pound, and that's it. And I was right. But let people believe that. That would be good, expecially if Montiel believes that. But we didn't do anything today. He actually drank a little bit of liquids before the weigh in. It was easy, and he's right on weight."

Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation says it has filed a lawsuit alleging that HyperBranch's Adherus Autospray Dural Sealant, Adherus Dural Sealant, and Adherus Spinal Sealant infringe patents that Integra licenses from Incept LLC.
First CE marked in 2009, with various indications and preparations subsequently cleared, Adherus is another one of those polymerising hydrogel sealants seen in surgical use these days. For its part, Integra acquired Duraseal, the most established neurosurgical hydrogel sealant, from Covidien a couple of years ago, and it is this product, originally developed by Incept LLC, that the patent hoo haa relates to.
The lawsuit, brought against Hyperbranch Medical Technology, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, contends that a number of U.S. Patents relating variously to hydrogel polymers used in its sealants are infringed by HyperBranch's Adherus products.
Not only does the lawsuit ask the court to enjoin HyperBranch from continuing to make, sell, and offer to sell the Adherus products, it also asks for treble damages to be granted on the basis that Hyperbranch has wilfully infringed the intellectual property protection in question.
