In the 1980s, I and Marian followed baseball, especially the SF Giants. And I quickly found that my pleasure in watching a game was greatly enhanced by keeping score.
I learned that the most detailed and most logical scoring system -- the system that left the most readable historical record of a game -- was the one created by the members of Project Scoresheet, a volunteer organization that collected detailed statistics and made them available to amateur sabremetricians and rotissery-league players. (At the time, the stats accumulated by Major League Baseball were not available to the public. Project Scoresheet had the grand aim of making equal-quality stats available, free, to anyone. The spirit was very much like that of the current Open Source movement.)
Although I enjoyed using the Project Scoresheet system, I, being an obsessive technical writer, naturally thought it could be documented better. So I documented it for myself in a 28-page writeup that covered every common game situation with many examples. So far as I know, this was the only time anyone tried to do a complete job of documenting that scoring system.
And here it is as a set of PDF files. To use the system:
Step 1: Download scoring.pdf and read parts of it on your screen to see if the system suits you. If it does, print that document and read it in detail.
Step 2: Download formhome.pdf and formvisitor.pdf. These are the scoring forms. Print them at your best quality; then take them to a copy-making place (not your employer's copier, surely?) and copy them double-sided, making a single sheet with the home form on one side and the visitor form on the other.
Step 3: Download refcard.pdf, print it, and tape it to the back of your scoring clipboard for reference during a game.
Step 4: go to a game and enjoy yourself!
By the early 90s Project Scoresheet was moribund, but one of the founders, Gary Gillette, had created the Baseball Workshop, a similar volunteer organization. Gary wanted to use my writeup, and under his guidance I made a number of corrections and improvements in it. In the end, we didn't communicate too well, and I'm not sure he actually distributed the writeup in any extensive way. We lost contact. I gather that Gary eventually joined the TotalSports organization, but as of late 2001, TotalSports.com itself seems to be dead, and I don't know what he is doing now.
Anyway, as a result of the great strike of 98, I lost my interest in baseball for some time. Recently, however, I obtained season tickets to the Stanford college team which plays at its pretty little park, Sunken Diamond, on the campus. And so once again I have a reason to score games.
Wanting to refresh my memory of the system, I went looking for info on the internet -- figuring that there would now be lots of web sites that talk about scoring. Not so!
There are almost none; and none whatever that mention Project Scoresheet. Similarly there are almost no books at Amazon.com, and the only ones do not use this excellent system. So I dusted off the old writeup, cleaned up a few details, and since I have the software tools handy, converted it to PDF and here we are.

Walking around Pigneto
Ask a Roman about the city's emerging neighborhood and the answer will probably be Pigneto.
A former working-class area dear to Pier Paolo Pasolini, who shot some scenes of his movie Accattone along its streets, it lies just beyond the walls of the city, at the convergence of Prenestina and Casilina.
Lately, while staying a deeply multiethnic neighborhood, Pigneto has been undergoing a renaissance, becoming crowded with shops and restaurants, and thus attracting students, young couples, artists and film industry people.
Today, the atmosphere is vibrant and stimulating, especially in the evening, when the lights turn on and the night spots get crowded. Here are a few places you can't miss.
Primo al Pigneto
An informal but stylish restaurant where chef Marco Gallotta creates his revisited traditional dishes – unburdened from fats and log cooking times. Pop by also for a quick drink and a snack.
The famous bar where Pierpaolo Pasolini shot a famous scene from Accattone is now one of the most popular restaurants of the neighborhood. British chef (and former artist) Ben Hirst, who also runs cooking courses, offers an eclectic and ever-changing menu. Have yorself a good meal in the garden – but don't forget to reserve.
Qui se magna
An authentic historic hosteria where you can savour Rome's traditional cuisine.
Circolo degli Artisti
Slightly off the center of the neighborbood, this place devoted to independent and experimental art is a much-loved meeting place for young people. The reasons are quite obvious: a nice location, a huge garden and some great live concerts. Saturday is club night and every Sunday you can join the aperitif.
A small workshop and boutique selling hand-made clothes and accessories.

Dan Undersander's grass variety trials show as much as a 4 ton/acre annual yield difference between the top and bottom entries of the same species.
That difference underscores a point the University of Wisconsin Extension forage agronomist makes to growers: Variety selection is more important in grasses than in alfalfa, corn and soybeans because the differences are greater.
"I always tell farmers there's as much difference between grass varieties as there is between an Angus and a Holstein cow," says Undersander.
He urges growers to choose varieties meticulously, whether the grass will be grown as a stand-alone hay or silage crop, mixed with alfalfa or seeded as part of a pasture mix. Usually, picking top performers means buying newer, more expensive varieties instead of older ones, but you'll want to review nearby test data to find out how they have fared under conditions similar to yours. Most newer grass varieties were developed in other countries, and some can't withstand northern winters.
"We've seen this time and again where some of these New Zealand grass varieties come in and they're just not winterhardy enough for us," says Undersander. "So one of the things that's really important is local testing, particularly for winterhardiness."
He heads the most extensive grass variety testing program in the region, with trials at four locations throughout Wisconsin. Results are posted at www.uwex.edu/ces/forage.
"We don't have every variety on our Web site, but we have a slug of them, and we encourage people to look at that," he says.
In addition to winterhardiness, Undersander says to look for later-maturing varieties with high yield potential and good season-long yield distribution.
Late maturity is important because, if the grass will be seeded with alfalfa, you'll want both to head about the same time. Some newer varieties do, but older ones tend to mature earlier. Older orchardgrass varieties, for example, head as much as three weeks earlier than some newer ones.
"That's a big deal," says Undersander. "It's not four or five days; I'm saying two or three weeks."
Maturity is an issue if the grass will be grown with clover in a pasture, too. Again, you want a variety that matches the legume's maturity.
"I would generally recommend a medium to late type everywhere, except if somebody just wants a single hay crop off a field."
Yield distribution can be more important than total yield, but the two traits tend to go together: High-yielding varieties usually produce well over multiple cuttings. Avoid varieties that produce 40% or more of their yield in the first cutting and a lot less in later harvests.
On the Wisconsin Web site, yield distribution is listed as beta, which is the slope of a line connecting the yield, or percentage of total yield, of each cutting. A flat line indicates good yield distribution, and a very negative slope means a high percentage of the yield is in first cutting.
"We're recommending a slope or beta of between -1 and +1, but if it's a -6 or -8, maybe you ought to look elsewhere."
Finally, if you're choosing varieties of orchardgrass, tall fescue or meadow fescue, the species Undersander recommends for the Upper Midwest (see accompanying story), look for rust resistance. Rust is a big problem in much of the region, he says. It causes the orange dust that rubs off on shoes and pants in late summer. It reduces growth and cattle don't like rust-infected grass so will avoid eating it.

3. Principle of Influence: Scarcity
14 July 2007 | 14:02 | Attraction, Leadership, Negotiation, Parenting | 18 Comments"Forbidden things have a secret charm." – Publius Cornelius Tacitus
"One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few and they are more beautiful if they are a few." – Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value." – Jim Rohn
When I came to write about the principle of scarcity, I had a limited idea of how the principle relates to communication, relationships, and success. It is a great principle to use in business and sales, but I had trouble relating it to these areas that we are interested in. Then it hit me. Scarcity is far more abundant (pun intended) in our everyday lives than we realize. This relates back to influence in general which often goes undetected in affecting our decision making.
The principle of scarcity states that we are more easily persuaded when the resource is limited. Scarcity is a fundamental principle in economics within the supply and demand curve. (As I explain scarcity in a business and economics context, I want you to think of how it applies to communication and relationships.) Referring to figure A, you can see that as supply decreases, so does the quantity in demand. However, people are willing to pay more for those fewer resources. On the contrary, when the quantity is large, people will pay less for the resources. My university microeconomics' lecturer would be proud of me after that description.
Organizations and salespeople use scarcity to increase demand. They will bring in the most profit when they calculate the point at which the supply and demand lines intersect. The organization will often not change the number of items available, but communicate the item is scarce. It is a matter of communicating to consumers that a shirt, car, or collector stamp, is only available in a limited quantity. Consumers can have a total "mind-shift" where a once disinterested consumer becomes hungry to devour the product.
When sales are on, you will hear scarcity phrases like "limited time only", "only 50 available", "sale ends tomorrow", and "don't miss your chance". These all get us to go into the respective stores and purchase their products instead of procrastinating about the purchase decision.
If you haven't realized yet, you can adapt these same principles businesses use in everyday conversations for persuading people. Tell the person there is "limited time", "a rare opportunity", or "high demand because it's popular". In the case of getting someone to go out with you and have fun, you could use a sentence along the lines of "Come out because we haven't had the chance since (last time you went out). It's rare we have such an opportunity."
To take similar phrases to the next level, use scarcity picture words. I think the scarcity phrases mentioned above appeal to both the left and right brain functions because they are verbal and mathematical numbers (left brain) but also contextual and focus on the future (right brain). Picture words use the right brain because they get the person to visualize and feel the emotions of those pictures. A few examples of scarcity picture words you can use are:
- "The opportunity is falling through our fingers and we need to grasp it now before it's too late."
- "The hourglass was turned a while ago and has almost run out. We need to act now."
- "This is as rare as your boss buying you a BMW. If you're lucky enough for it to happen, you better take advantage of it because it ain't going to happen again."
Bitterness, conflict, and resentment arises from the use of bland words as it makes people raise their shields. On the other hand, the visual is more concrete than words. What makes scarce imagery very persuasive is its ability to establish unity. There are rarely two-sides to strategic symbols and imagery – just one shared understanding. This makes symbolism a great way to strengthen team cohesion. You can create and distribute items that establish an "us verse them" mentality.
The primary reason scarcity is so effective for influencing people is that generally we are more motivated by loss than gain. Scarcity implies rarity, high quality, and high demand, all influences that increase our demand for the resource. We can become irrational when a resource is scarce and do things we never thought we would do. It is difficult to think clear when scarcity is being intensely used.
Job Interview
To further expand on how the principle of scarcity influences our everyday living (because I think most people do not comprehend it's high frequency), take the example of job interviews. If you have one job interview, then the scarcity of interviews makes you highly value this one interview. This puts extreme pressure on you to get that job and is likely to cause you to perform poorly in the interview. On the other hand, if you have many job interviews, you place less emphasis on each interview as each one is not very scarce. The interviews possess less value which allow you to relax, perform better, and increase the chances of you landing a job.
When a single-person becomes extremely fixated on dating somebody of the opposite sex, the value of this person greatly increases causing the single-person to think about and micromanage any interaction when they are together. All this does is amplify the scarcity principle and make the single-person become stressed, anxious, and desperate. In the dating world for men, guys who become extremely fixated on one girl are diagnosed with "one-itis". It's a very common plague for men and the cure is to go date more women because the men are being deluded with scarcity. They need to see there is an abundance of opportunities out in the world.
Keeping on the dating topic, a woman's attraction for a guy is increased when the guy is scarce. Yes, like resources, people are a commodity. A guy who is surrounded by women is heaps more attractive to other women. In fact, a woman's attraction can become so distorted from such a situation, that she'd do things which would surprise many people including herself.
However, scarcity is often not enough just by itself. If a random stranger talked to you for one minute and left, you aren't going to yearn for their presence. Though their absence creates scarcity, the stranger never made you appreciate him or her in the first place. When you create good feelings in others, have a great conversation, or build attraction – then suddenly cut it short – you essentially become an addictive drug. The person begins to desperately desire your presence. Your value and power dramatically increase due to absence. What gets removed from our grasps becomes wanted as it gets elevated in status from our adoration and honor.
Scarcity creates a gap that the mind fills with its imagination. The mind conceives thoughts based on past experiences. When you have created a presence that another has adored and, only then, make yourself absent, a sense of mystery, unpredictability, and power is instilled in their image of you.
Robert Greene in law 16 (Use absence to increase respect and honor) of his book The 48 Laws of Power, advises the use of absence to increase respect and honor when seducing someone only once you have the person captivated:
"At the start of an affair, you need to heighten your presence in the yes of the other. If you absent yourself too early, you may be forgotten. But once your lover's emotions are engaged, and the feeling of love has crystallized, absence inflames and excites. Giving no reason for your absence excites even more: The other person assumes he or she is at fault. While you are away, the lover's imagination takes flight, and a stimulated imagination cannot help but make love grow stronger."
The scarcity principle states that our demand for a resource increases when it is scarce and even more so when we are in competition for the resource. Whenever you have the chance in persuading people, communicate that there is competition for the opportunity at hand or how other people are desperate in this circumstance to take action. What you are doing is communicating that there is competition and scarcity in the situation. Social proof is another influence in this situation, which you'll learn about in the sixth principle of influencing people.
What makes scarcity very interesting to me is that we actually don't enjoy having the scarce resource more than if it was an abundant resource. The pleasure isn't gained from using the resource. It is gained from merely just having the resource. Knowing we have it provides a sense of pride and security. You're not going to have a better relationship with a person who is highly sought after by others. You'll merely derive an illusion for yourself when the influence comes from scarcity.
Romeo and Juliet Effect
There are many applications of scarcity that would be great to discuss in depth, but I'll only discuss a few more. Expanding on scarcity in relationships, Robert Cialdini in Influence mentions a study that had some astonishing findings about the "Romeo and Julie effect". The study analyzed parental influence on 140 couples in the American state of Colorado. When parents hindered the relationship, each individual in the couple were more critical of the other. The amazing finding was that in spite of this, the couples also experienced more love and romance. So a note to all parents who are against their children's love relationships: the more you intervene in the relationship, the more you will increase the love and romance in relationship.
Availability of Information
An interesting law of happiness is that we are happy to the degree which we are controlled. The more you are out of control in your life, the less happy you will be. An "out of control life" can consist of other people telling you what to do, obligations you must fulfill, and general things against your will. A powerful and frequent message in my communication secrets of making people like you program lays in teaching people to not control others; whether it be through criticism, giving advice, threatening, or sending solutions. All these are negative influences that will destroy a relationship because it causes the person you are communicating with to "lose control of their life".
When governments, parents, managers, and partners, limit the availability of information, the person being controlled will usually want it more. A partner who forbids their loving other of interacting with a certain person, whether it be because of jealousy or pride, actually increases their partner's desire to be with that person. What's amazing with this is the thing which gets banned all of a sudden is wanted more because it becomes more scarce. Stephen Worchel has done several studies on how censorship affects our demand for the resource. When things become censored, banned, or in some way restricted, we have an increased desire to obtain the information. In addition, we gain more pleasure when we possess such information.
Parents can be extremely tempted to remove their children's access to certain things when they disobey a rule. As a parent or manager, remember that if you take away something, you are increasing its scarcity. The most common reaction to this is rebellion and wanting the resource more. A good parent will be consistent in what they offer towards their children. This establishes what areas in the child's life he or she can be expected to be controlled or not controlled in.
By limiting a resource you are increasing the child's desire for the resource more so, then if it were already at that level of availability. When a resource is made less available than if it were already at the reduced level, we are more influenced to want the resource. If you haven't been consistent in your parenting, then the best thing you can do now is to begin being consistent – and that may mean introducing scarcity. It'll be hard to change the behavior in the beginning, but it will change and become easier. The sample holds true for managers changing the behavior of employees and the like.
I feel the dilemma where we don't value the time spent with family is because of scarcity. Spending time with family is an abundant resource for most us which causes it to lose its value. Many people would prefer to hang out with their friends or new loved one. However, if they do that, then the demand and supply curve shifts causing a diminishing value of the "resource". If you constantly hang out with your friends, then you will have less value in the time you spend with them. It won't be as much fun.
In conclusion, scarcity is a common influence in our everyday decision making. We are frequently unaware of how it affects our decisions. Scarcity influences us in how we respond to opportunities, find a partner, procrastinate, and spend time with family to name a few situations. By understanding the principle of scarcity and its many applications, you are able to incorporate yet another powerful principle of persuasion into your communication skills to get people to do what you want.

AUGUSTA, Ga.---It's one of the hottest tickets around...a ticket to the midnight showing of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon."
"New Moon" is the second installment of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Series.
Hordes of starry-eyed teens and moms and even a couple of guys lined up outside the Regal 20 theater Thursday night to be among some of the first to see the vampire flick in Augusta.
"We're really excited to see the New Moon movie. We've been waiting a whole year for it," said Aleena Henadrick.
"We're playing hookey tomorrow and out here to have a good time with our daughters," she added.
"That's right not going to school tomorrow," her daughter said.
Getting tickets for this weekend may be difficult as well. According to Fandango, "New Moon" has sold more advance tickets than any other movie in Fandangos history.

Navy vet's organ donation unites families.
The widow of a San Diego Navy veteran now has a connection to her husband, through a teen who received his donated kidney.
After four years of dialysis and hospital visits, 17-year-old Salma Al-Hinn received a long-awaited transplant kidney.
The successful transplant was first reported by NBC San Diego station KNSD after Al-Hinn celebrated her graduation at Rady's Children's Hospital.
Yvonne Azalea Nosik lost her husband, Kenneth Andrew Nosik, earlier this month.
Yvonne saw the segment about Al-Hinn and knew the teen must have received her husband's donated kidney.
Al-Hinn's mother attended Kenneth's funeral Monday.
She was one of very few mourners in attendance, as Kenneth's family couldn't afford to attend, and his friends were all deployed on the USS Vandergrift.
The struggle to find enough people to honor her husband's life appeared on Craigslist, where she went searching for six Navy men to serve as pallbearers.
"I got desperate and turned to Craigslist," she wrote. "I met my husband on this site. May he rest in peace."
The funeral was held Monday in Chula Vista.
There, Al-Hinn's mother said Yvonne is part of her family now.

spotter in Bendigo who saw the tornado. He was less than 200 metres from the tornado,
which extended from a very low cloud base to the ground. He said it could have been up to
100 metres in width. He said the tornado was very clear as it was so dark with loads of
debris. He also commented that as he watched the storm approach from the northwest that
the cloud structure was such that it looked as if it had 'rotating swirls'. From a meteorological perspective there was certainly enough shear in the lowest 10000ft for storm organisation, yet the CAPE was lower and 'skinny'. In fact it probably has more charactersitics of a 'coldie' than a warm season severe thunderstorm - perhaps a hybrid! I heard Rod Aikman interviewed on ABC

House Republicans look to 'strip' TSA screeners of their 'officer' title
Posted By yihan On December 9, 2011 @ 9:04 am In Featured Stories,Prison Planet,Tile | Comments Disabled

The Hill [1]
Friday, December 9, 2011
More than two dozen House Republicans introduced legislation on Thursday that would prevent the Transportation Security Agency (TSA) from calling airport screeners "officer" unless they have gone through federal law enforcement training or are otherwise eligible for federal law enforcement benefits.
Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), the lead sponsor of the Stop TSA's Reach in Policy (STRIP) Act, said that TSA has essentially allowed its airport screeners to play dress-up by giving them metal badges and police-like uniforms in recent years. But she said many airport screeners have no "officer" qualifications, and should have this title removed.
She also said giving airport screeners police-like uniforms has led to problems. She said in New Jersey, a screener was arrested for impersonating an officer, and a Virginia woman was raped by a screener after he approached her showing his TSA badge.
"It is outrageous that in a post-9/11 world … the American people should have to live in fear of those whose job it is to keep us safe," Blackburn said. "Congress has sat idly by as the TSA strip-searches 85-year-old grandmothers in New York, pats down 3-year-olds in Chattanooga and checks colostomy bags for explosives in Orlando.

It's The Math, Stupid
Roger Boneno permalinkDecember 5, 2012
This is one reason that, having done a lot of forecasting, I'm not a big fan of spreadsheets loaded down with "Macros" and overly complicated formulas. They obscure the "thinking" process that allows you to understand patterns and see those outliers.
Excellent post!

December 5th, 2012 at 8:11 amThanks Roger!
btw. I don't think people pay nearly enough attention to outliers. They are often the most interesting part of the data set!

Great post!
I also love Math and it represents an important part in my profession.
Yet I also think that the capacity of the human brain to deal with complex problems is unrivaled.
So, computers can help us to make fast calculations and iterations, but a mathematical model has to be at the same time simple enough to permit to us "problem solvers" to extract (and to abstract) from the numbers the patterns in order to have a better understanding of the problem to solve.

Excellent article with well articulated points. However, there is something that most of us don't pay enough attention to. If you really do understand how to use the numbers that well thought and well applied research can give you, then you need to pay attention to the outliers as indicators of social change. You might be interested in a blog post I did on the subject: http://www.colemanmgt.com/oddballs-outliers-and-marketing-change/ I'd be interested in your comments.

Yes. I also believe that outliers have been overlooked. As I said in the post, they're the data points that are really interesting.
However, I think what is probably the more important issue is when outliers aren't really outliers at all. Many people (most disastrously the financial community) assume a random, normal distribution when there is no reason to do so and they therefore undercount extreme values.
Since the financial crises, there's been much more attention paid to "fat tailed" models but, as Nassim Taleb points out, even that doesn't fully insulate you.
– Greg
December 6, 2012
Greg, you are right, of course. The financial community has become so hooked on automation and gross numbers that they have lost sight (if they ever had it) of where the numbers come from. For all that they like to believe they are sophisticated and highly talented, most of them are pretty average, at best, and not as numerically astute as they think. Unfortunately, IMHO, the same thing is true for business in general.

I am still reading "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by daniel kahneman. cannot recommend it highly enough, including many points that this alludes to. He and Taleb share are very complementary. but one of his main points is that humans tend to have a much higher risk tolerance when there is a big gain but very low probability of it actually happening. interesting to think about that in this context.

UI Designer
So... I hear this "dominion" thing went live. If you have questions or feedback about the new user interface elements we put in, here's the place to post! Things to talk about (not an exhaustive list): * VP meters at the top middle * Medals and score at the top right * Changes to the announcement system * Personal score display popups * Quests * Capture progress on points * Capture interrupted feedback * Capture point indicators on the minimap Edit: Try to keep this focused on the user interface. The UI designers can't help too much with fixing game design issues. Example: Make the quests easier to understand and notice when they come up = UI/UX design. Changing which points are chosen to be quest points = game design.

Why dont they Welcome us to the Crystal Scar I feel so cold and alone without being Welcomed
it feels like my abilities tend to lock up when i cancel capping my friends have been having this problem too ill be playing ezreal im capping an enemies comes up and i move off the cap then a second later ill try and shift away and i cant and wind up dying

I would very much like it if those three blue exclamation point tip things in the lower right hand corner didn't pop up at the beginning of every match. Can we please have an option to disable them? I thought unchecking show newbie tips would do it, but no such luck.
Game feels too fast paced to care about quests half the time. Scores are pointless and arbitrary. There is no reason to have it to begin with so you are better off dumping it.
-VP meters is fine -Most things that appear top right are kind of out of the way though aren't exactly pronounced to be much of any notice -Could be more of a sign or something when new quests appear. Somehow even with looking at at the minimap a bunch I randomly end up saying "oh... there is a quest". Might be just me not paying attention but could be more of a signal when they pop up.
Junior Member
The new shiny UI is great. The only thing negative I can think of is that the announcements about which flags are being taken/lost is kind of confusing. Giving names to these capture points is giving me a hard time knowing which one is which. Of course the mini map works fine and I can see immediately which is being taken, but if you guys are trying to come up with something new to improve the UI, maybe giving a symbol/picture/indication next to " The windmill is being captured"(I'm thinking of a pentagonal shape with a circle at the intersection representing the capture point). It would be even better if we knew which point to capture for the quest via the mini-map. Maybe I just don't know where to look, the game has a pretty fast pace and I have only played 3-4 games. Other than that the kill notifications are awesome, they show assists, kills, deaths, and all at the same time no matter how many kills and they are instantly updated.

Police have appealed for information after a laser pen was directed at a flight crew landing an aircraft at Inverness Airport.
The crew said the beam was seen in the cockpit as the plane came in to land in the early hours of Friday.
Northern Constabulary said it was believed the laser pen had been used on North Kessock on the Black Isle, near Inverness.
The force described the incident as "extremely reckless and dangerous".

Each episode of The Outer Limits television show (1963 – 1965) began with narration by "the control voice" saying: There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. It was "the outer limits" again the week prior to the Nov. 4, 2008 election when the Conspiracy Nation editor tuned in to his web site, only to find it had been taken over by Cthulhu! In a quandry, the Conspiracy Nation editor did not know what to do! It was then that the Power of Melchizedek intervened: An associate phoned and offered wise counsel. So here it can be seen how, through the Power of Melchizedek, we shall defeat Cthulhu. |
(Melchizedek Communique, MC092511) A new book, Tales of the Holy Lance, is released to the public. The book, in the form of a pdf file, is available free of charge. The file, about 2 megabytes in size, is available for download at http://www.shout.net/~bigred/HolyLance.pdf
Many strange stories are connected with the Spear of Longinus, the lance which pierced the side of Jesus as he hung on the cross. From King Solomon to Adolph Hitler to Haile Selassie, Tales of the Holy Lance provides an overview of many of the legends.
The author, Brian Francis Redman, was a close associate of the late Sherman H. Skolnick. Mr. Redman is the editor of Melchizedek Communique, formerly known as Conspiracy Nation, a controversial Internet site which seeks to penetrate the world of lies. Currently he has launched a new publication, Ersjdamoo's Blog.
(Melchizedek Communique, MC061911) In Descent of Man, Charles Darwin (image shown) wrote, "With savages, the weak in body and mind are soon eliminated and those that survive commonly exhibit a vigorous state of health. We civilized men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination; we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed, and the sick; we institute poor-laws; and our medical men exert their utmost to save the life of every one to the last moment... Thus the weak members of civilized societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man..." [1]
This new scientific thinking was absorbed by Friedrich Nietzsche, "a profound influence on [Adolph] Hitler and Nazi ideology..." In his book, The Anti-Christ, Nietzsche called Christianity "the most fatal, seductive lie that has yet existed." Echoing the new Darwinian scientific thinking, Nietzsche argued that nature favors the ruthless and powerful: "The beast of prey and the jungle prove that evil can be very healthy and develop the body magnificently." [2]
The new scientific thinking was used by the Nazis to justify elimination of "the weak" and "the maimed," which included Jehovah's Witnesses, Gypsies, and Jews. (The Nazis were also quite scientific about how this was implemented.)
Elsewhere, in the United States, science was also on the march. John D. Rockefeller's original charity had been initially directed toward Baptist churches and missions. Rockefeller's University of Chicago had first started out as an idea for a Baptist institution of higher learning. But the Rockefeller Foundation soon joined the march of science. The Rockefeller Foundation channeled funds into human evolution research and developed methods to effectively control human behavior. [3]
A trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation when it began in 1913 (same year as the "Federal" Reserve) was one Frederick T. Gates. It is not known whether he is related to the later Bill Gates, a monopolist as was old John D. Rockefeller. Consequent to his Czardom over the Microsoft Operating System monopoly, Bill Gates branched out into "philanthropy." He established the Bill & Melinda Gates (tax exempt) Foundation. Speaking at an invitation-only conference, Bill Gates complained about population. But, urged Gates, "[I]f we really do a great job on new vaccines" we can lower the population by "perhaps 10 or 15 percent." [4]
Got that? Bill Gates hopes "new vaccines" will lower the population!
And so it is that the "primary focus of his multi-billion dollar Gates Foundation is vaccinations, especially in Africa and other undeveloped countries." Besides dumping vaccines onto the Third World, such as overabundant "swine flu" vaccines, an "Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa" (AGRA) hopes to distribute patented GMO seeds. Reportedly, GMO corn plants produce anti-sperm antibodies. The AGRA board, dominated by people from both the Gates' and Rockefeller foundations, thereby seems to be promoting "a concealed contraceptive embedded in corn meant for human consumption." [4]
Elsewhere, in Nicaragua, Mexico, and the Philippines, massive vaccinations against tetanus introduced hCG to the populace, combined with a tetanus toxoid carrier. This helped render women incapable of maintaining a pregnancy. [4]
This is all a new version of Nazi-Darwinist forced sterilizations: GMO corn plants producing anti-sperm antibodies and hCG combined with a tetanus toxoid carrier hindering pregnancies.
Another Darwinist branch-off from forced sterilizations is the promotion of gay and lesbian lifestyles. After all, gays and lesbians do not breed. And so we find, as of yesterday, June 17, 2011, that the United Nations now backs "gay rights" (alternate sterilization). [5]

(Melchizedek Communique, MC061611) William Morgan, a Freemason, had signed a book contract in which he promised to reveal the inner secrets of Masonry. Before the book could be published, Morgan was mysteriously abducted and disappeared from the face of the earth. "No less an authority than John Quincy Adams, at one time President of the United States, claimed that Morgan had been murdered, and in a gruesome manner." Morgan was said to have suffered the Masonic penalty of having his throat cut from ear to ear, his tongue plucked out by the roots, and burial "in the rough sands of the sea, a cable's length from shore, where the tide ebbs and flows twice in twenty-four hours." (Background: "Gastro-intestinal Tortures of Old Abe", http://www.shout.net/~bigred/mc051811.html)
The Morgan scandal had occurred in western New York State in the 1820s. A consequence of the public uproar was the forming of the Anti-Masonic Party and the entering of young Millard Fillmore (image shown) into politics.
A deathbed confession taken down by one Dr. John L. Emery of Racine County, Wisconsin, in 1848, may solve the mystery of William Morgan. One Henry L. Valance, suffering from a fatal illness, was being treated by Dr. Emery. His confession to Dr. Emery, written down on September 11, 1848, was printed without modification, as "taken down and read to the unfortunate man who made it", by publishers W.J. Shuey of Dayton, Ohio, in 1869.
Abridged Confession of Henry L. Valance
"My last hour is approaching; and as the things of this world fade from my mental sight, I feel the necessity of making, as far as in my power lies, that atonement which every violator of the great law of right owes to his fellow man." Mr. Valance stated he had been involved in the "abduction and murder of the ill-fated WILLIAM MORGAN..."
His name, he states, "is HENRY L. VALANCE" and he is "an Englishman by birth..." In 1822 he lived in Canada. For some years he had been a Freemason, and had risen to the rank of Master Mason.
"In the early part of the summer of 1826, it was rumored among Masons that the order was about to be assailed by one of its members, who, from the mere desire of making money, was taking measures for publishing to the world all that constituted its secrets." Even across the border in Canada, this caused a sensation, especially among Canadian Masons who lived near the American line. Most Masons, states Mr. Valance, favored ignoring the matter and treating it with "silent contempt." But a few of the Freemasons instead proposed "a little violence against the liberty of Morgan would be justified by the nature of the case, though they expressly disclaimed any desire to shed his blood. They thought that he and his papers should be seized, and that while the latter were destroyed, he himself should be placed in confinement until he should agree to refrain from all attempts to injure the order, by exposing its proceedings to the gaze of the uninitiated -- the fraternity, in the meantime, providing for the support of his family."
Mr. Valance confesses himself to have belonged to the sub-set of Masons who had favored "a little violence..." But as a Canadian, he and his fellows believed the American Lodges would handle the situation. Time passed, and it was learned, in Canada, that some American Masons had kidnapped William Morgan. "We were informed that Morgan was to be brought to Canada, and put on board a ship and sent to Europe." Thus, the co-operation of the Canadian Masons became necessary. But as in so many kidnappings, something went wrong. "The captain of the ship in which Morgan was to have sailed for Europe suddenly died, and no other opportunity offered for banishing [Morgan] in the manner proposed. The necessity of sending [Morgan] off in a ship manned by Masons only, must be obvious to every reflecting mind." And so the already kidnapped William Morgan could not immediately be sent off to Europe.
It was at this time, states Mr. Valance, that he himself became connected to the "unhappy business." What should now be done with William Morgan? "We discussed the whole matter, in all its bearings, and the death of the offender was darkly and obscurely hinted at in our nocturnal consultations." But the final actual murder of William Morgan "would have remained unperpetrated, had it not been that we had placed ourselves in a position where a feather's weight was sufficient to turn the scale against the life of the victim of a mistaken view of our Masonic obligations."
William Morgan was confined at Fort Niagara. The keeper of the fort was a Freemason. He could be trusted to keep silent, but his wife was another matter. "This woman came to the knowledge of the fact that some one was confined illegally in the fort, and she demanded to be made acquainted with the whole circumstances of the transaction in which we were engaged." Her husband would not yield to his wife's demand, and she became increasingly agitated. Soon, the wife left, and returned to her father's house. She told her father the cause of the domestic separation, and her father, intrigued by what he heard, decided to visit his son-in-law and demand an explanation.
The father-in-law "probed deeply" into the matter of the mysterious person confined at Fort Niagara. It was admitted by the son-in-law "that some one was illegally confined in the fort, but who he was, or for what purpose imprisoned, he could not ascertain." The man warned his son-in-law that unless the mysterious prisoner was released within 24 hours, he would bring the matter to the attention of the legal authorities.
Something had to be done! Immediately! It was then that the decision was made that William Morgan had to die. Eight pieces of paper were gathered, upon three of which the letter "D" was written. Each of eight men drew from a container one of the tickets. They each then separated, without looking to see if the letter "D" was on their own slip of paper. "So soon as we had arrived at certain distances from the place of rendezvous, the tickets were to be examined..." Those three who had pulled the "D" tickets "were to proceed to the Fort at midnight, and there put Morgan to death, in such manner as should seem to themselves most fitting."
Mr. Valance confesses that he was among the unlucky three who drew out a "D" ticket. The other two soon-to-be murderers were Americans.
Mr. Valance states part of his role was to announce to William Morgan his fate. His two American partners went off to find a boat, in which Morgan would be carried off and "sunk in the Niagara." Morgan, chained and hand-cuffed, appeared "pale and haggard" when Valance entered his cell. Valance pronounced to Morgan his doom: "William Morgan, I come to you on a sad duty -- it is to prepare you for your last hour on earth... It is now past midnight, and before the earliest dawn shall have appeared, you must be no longer on earth. I leave you to prepare for the great change you are to undergo."
A boat meanwhile having been obtained, as well as a number of heavy weights, William Morgan was bound and gagged when his allotted hour of prayer and meditation had passed. The group entered the boat and rowed out into the river. The heavy weights were attached to Morgan, and he was thrown overboard.
Filled with remorse, Mr. Henry L. Valance soon moved away from the area of the crime, to New York State. This was the place where "the antimasonic excitement originated" and where Valance now witnessed the "just indignation of a people stirred to their inmost souls by the occurrence of a mysterious crime, that had baffled the law, and whose perpetrators seemed to be as much above the reach of ordinary human power as were the members of the once terrible Secret Tribunal of Germany."
In his purported Confession, Valance does not mention what is found in a separate source: that, several months after Morgan's abduction in September 1826, a bloated body was dragged from the Niagara River. Unfortunately, by that time, it was not possible to positively identify the remains as those of Morgan. (Source: Scarry, Robert J. Millard Fillmore. Jefferson, NC: McFarland & Co., Inc., 2001)

Empowering Small Farmers in Rural Communities
Media Contact:
Jennifer Martin, (202) 720-8188
By Stacy Kish
July 20, 2009
Operators of small and mid-size farms are suffering from low economic growth. As a result, many of these limited-resource farmers have begun hitting the books in order to compete with the larger, more economically stable farms.
With funding from USDA's Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES), the Small Farmer Agricultural Leadership Training Institute at the Southern University Agricultural Research and Extension Center in Baton Rouge, LA, promotes small and family farm sustainability by enhancing business management skills and leadership development.
Dawn Mellion Patin, agriculture specialist at the Ag Center, developed the Small Farmer Agricultural Leadership Training Institute, which brings its services to minority and socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers. "By developing leaders in local communities, we will enhance the participants' business and farm management skills," Mellion Patin said.
The institute assists minority, socially disadvantaged, and limited-resource agricultural producers from 10 Southern states – Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. Participants are selected through a competitive application process.
The 2-year course consists of training seminars, video lessons, and study tours. Students participate in interactive, experiential learning workshops where they take part in small and large group exercises to broaden and enhance their communications skills.
"The impacts from this initiative have been immediate. Four of the graduates serve on regional or local advisory committees and three have been selected as 'small farmer of the year' in their states," Mellion Patin said. "The skills learned in this course have empowered small farmers to become key decisionmakers in their small, rural communities as well as in the larger agricultural community."
The institute's curriculum covers knowledge of agricultural infrastructure, state and federal government, agricultural economics, and the effect of global agriculture on the U.S. economy. Participants develop the leadership skills they need to improve their ability to manage farm businesses in a competitive global economy. In addition, course materials introduce participants to public policy and help them prepare to participate in this process.
The project builds unity and confidence to a formerly isolated group of agricultural producers – the leadership skills they develop provide confidence and self-esteem and their new business management skills build capacity and improve opportunities needed to grow this agricultural sector. As a result, participants bring increased revenue and prospects to rural communities.
Willonese Tillman-Adams, an educator-turned-farmer, participated in the program after retirement. "The number one problem facing us [with the farm] was record keeping," Tillman-Adams said. "When tax time came, we had no system in place [to handle the] deficiency in records. The Small Farmer Agricultural Leadership Training Institute [provided] all of the risk management training and was the best thing to happen to me since I became a farmer."
CSREES funded this research project through the Outreach and Assistance for Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers program. Through federal funding and leadership for research, education and extension programs, CSREES focuses on investing in science and solving critical issues impacting people's daily lives and the nation's future.

Sunset Silhouette Address Labels Very nice design, color is the same as i saw in internet and they are just beautiful. It arrived on time, i am very happy
Loved my wedding invitations and the ease of making them personal!
Evergreen Christmas Address Labels First, I loved that you had a pre-existing design perfect for my wedding theme (Evergreen/Pine). Then it was so easy to edit and personalize the invitation to fit my needs! So many other places would have charged exorbitant amounts to alter the slightest part of their design, but Magnetstreet made it so easy to request changes! I like how the proofs are delivered and reviewed before the final printing to make sure everything is right. The "JustOne" program is extremely helpful too! Everything I ordered arrived quickly and the once or twice I called with concerns over my order, I was helped quickly and professionally. You can't get better customer service!
Very pleased
Carved in Love - Autumn Address Labels Everything was exactly as shown. The quality was very good and shipping time as promised.

Very recently, Mike and I decided it was time we treated ourselves to a nice new bed. Silly me, I had forgotten that I would have to empty the four drawers hidden beneath the bedcovers before our new bed arrived.��
Being enormously sentimental I find it impossible to part with anything associated with happy memories. I keep and treasure all sorts of nonsense and I love taking and acquiring family photographs. During the 35 years we've been married I have built up a massive collection of photographs, souvenirs and keepsakes. Can you guess where I keep them? Yes, you've got it in one, I keep them in the drawers of our divan bed.��I decided to ditch all the junk and get organised for when our new bed arrives. I was determined to be ruthless and discard all the 'rubbish' I had accumulated. My eldest son and I could just about lift the heavy drawers out of the bed and we laughed as he offered to bet any money that at least 95% of it would all go back again.��Between the top of the drawers and the drawer-frames there is a little gap where I have been happily 'posting' the latest batch of photographs for years without even needing to open the draw. All my treasured memories were posted safely to the darkness of the drawers where they would lay often undisturbed for years.��
However, today I spread myself and my collection across the bed ready to be ruthless but I soon found myself on a trip down memory lane with friends, family and loved ones. Looking back on happy times laughing at the dated styles and hideous fashions one minute only then to be holding back the tears whist reliving a precious memory the next.�
�I sat crossed legged and enjoyed 35 Christmas mornings, and 35 family holidays, numerous birthdays, special occasions, family parties and happy days as the faded old photographs brought vivid memories flooding back to life.��Yes, my son was right, after a bitter sweet afternoon I carefully put all my treasures into nice new box files ready to take their rightful place in the drawers of our new bed when it arrives.��It started me wondering what other people keep in their divan drawers. I bet there are a few stories lurking beneath the divans. Come on let's blog it into the www. I dare you to share the secrets of what you keep in the drawers of your divan.��
My confession:-
I once kept a pair of brass candlesticks in mine for about twenty years. My mother-in-law gave them to me before she died. She loved them and thought I did too but I couldn't stand them.� I buried them in the bottom of the divan for almost twenty years before plucking up the courage to donate them to a charity shop.

there should also be a dishonor option, that negatively effects "dishonorable" people, or say puts them in games with honorable people, so they can learn not to be jerks or whatever. otherwise people will honor each other to get rewards if rewards for honor develop. instead of giving people a reason to roll the system, give people a reason to not get rolled by the system in game. the tribunal can only do so much :P
Lead Social Systems Designer
What are you going to do about famous people getting honour no matter what? e.g. dunkey or TheOddOne? Because "In the future, we plan on experimenting with potential bonuses for the most Honorable summoners." I'm not trying to say they're bad but fans (which there are a lot of them) will give them honour no matter what they do.
Senior Member
Hey lyte, what about the people that are now getting flamed for being nice as "Honor sucker" and other not so nice things? any thoughts on what could become of this?
Slimm Shaney
Hey Lyte, I am generally a very encouraging player and always try to motivate my team mates to win a game... but some times, I get trolls or people that really don't know how to play the champion they picked... I sometimes have fits of rage and say some bad things. How will this affect my honor? Will having a negative attitude outweigh having a positive attitude? If so, why?
Sidney Carton
I'm really glad Riot finally did this. Yesterday there was a group of 4 people on the opposing team in a game that were ganging up on this poor sona that was doing a good job of warding and keeping her team mates alive. (i know she warded cause i was jungling and had oracles). Throughout the whole game they were being huge jerks to her and blaming the loss on her. They were spamming report threats and calling her names. and she just ignored them and kept playing. She even threw out the GG at the end of the game, while everyone else threw out "BG Sona Throws" and "Fail sona, report". I've never seen someone take so much **** from their team and not rage quit. That sona deserved a reward.
the only reason that person is giving an honor is because they just won 42 - 22, bet you the other team didnt honor anybody
Snake XT
I've made a thread but its amazing how new threads pop up and some never see the light of day. So anyway. How does this honor thing work? I would have thought it'd be something like giving a player review of how they do well in game and how they interact with other players. If said player has good reviews people will have a good game. If not can you skip the game you're about to have? Perhaps something like this in future.

The official launch of the the Broadland Food and Drink directory on Heydon village green. Village baker Paul White of Husk Bakery with Broadland District Council chairman Shelagh Gurney and the council's portfolio for economic development Stuart Clancy.Photo: Steve Adams
Alex Hurrell, Reporter
Wednesday, September 26, 2012
A new guide to the best food and drink in Broadland has been launched with tea and cakes on a picture-postcard village green.
Almost 100 growers, farmers' markets, pubs, restaurants and tea shops feature in the Broadland Food and Drink directory, published by Broadland District Council, and councillors joined some of those listed to toast the venture.
The directory aims to showcase the area's skills and hospitality for the benefit of locals and visitors. Among those featured is Heydon baker Paul White who runs his Husk wood-fired bakery in the former blacksmith's shop.
Stuart Clancy, the council's portfolio holder for economic development, said: "Norfolk has a proud farming, food and drink production heritage and by trading locally and buying locally we all help to ensure this tradition continues."
● The directory can be viewed online at: www.broadland.co.uk/food

I notice Taurus are offering .17HMR revolvers as CCWs on their website, but I have to question the logic in this.
I haven't used nor do I own any handgun in .17HMR so my personal experience is nil. I have heard the caliber referred to as the flying hat pin, or worse.
My stance is that part of me really want this to work, it's another option and options are good.
What do you all think on the matter?
Is .17HMR a waste of time and energy?
How does it compare with .22LR stingers?
Or with 5.7x28mm?

Vic Mensa - Suitcase Feat. Chance The Rapper
Suitcase Vic Mensa Feat. Chance The Rapper
Chance The Rapper hops on Vic Mensa's latest trip of a track, "Suitcase".
Vic Mensa taps one of his more frequent collaborators-- the man behind 2013's arguable mixtape of the year, Chance The Rapper. The Chicago duo trade rhymes over a laid back instrumental, before Vic takes us home with a sung coda;
"Every other day is a trip/ another suitcase/ pack my memories in a bag/ inside my suitcase/ take it to the UK"
No news on whether the track is attached to an upcoming project.
Quotable Lyrics
"It's not a suitcase, more of a briefcase
I be on binness, and my new place isn't a duplex
More of an escape, I been gone trippin'
Kiss the kids and kick the dogs, fix the dinner, fix the faucet
Wash the dish and wish for rain and when it pours make sure in the midst of all
You don't forget to call me to come back
Part of me on that, I was too young
You was young too but uh, I was too young"

Gluten Free Dairy Free Honey Bourbon Chicken in the Slow Cooker
Just in case you are a little leery about making a dish with the word "bourbon" in it for your family, not to worry! According to Laura of Real Mom Kitchen where this recipe came from, the recipe is named for Bourbon Street in New Orleans, so there is no bourbon whisky in the dish. :) Gluten Free Dairy Free Honey Bourbon Chicken is a snap to pull together and, because it cooks in the slow cooker, is an easy meal to serve your family. I show it over rice, but the sweet and savory flavors of the chicken would pair equally well with quinoa, mashed sweet potatoes or cauliflower puree. Yum!
Gluten Free Dairy Free Honey Bourbon Chicken
adapted from Laura @ RealMomKitchen.com
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup gluten free soy sauce
- 1/4 cup gluten free ketchup
- 1 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon of water
Put all ingredients into slow cooker and mix. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Remove chicken from slow cooker and cut into strips. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water and add to crock pot with the chicken. Stir. Cook on high for 10 to 20 minutes.
Freezing Directions:
Put all ingredients into a gallon sized freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible, seal, label and freeze.
To serve: Thaw. Cook in slow cooker as directed above.
Servings: 4

Looks great and was so excited to pass along the recipe to my good friend but both our little daughters have soy allergies…any idea for subsisting the soy…maybe tomato sauce or …?
Use coconut aminos. You can buy online or gnc
Thanks Kelly…its worth giving it a try!
Does it make a difference in cooking with crock pot size? I made this today and it just didn't turn out like I'd hoped. The sauce didn't thicken very well. I may try this again in a smaller c.p.
I made this today and my family loved it. I added a bag of frozen broccoli near the end of cooking for color and added nutrition. Everyone asked for seconds, even my picky toddler! This will definitely become part of our regular rotation!
Made this yesterday – it was awesome. Everyone liked it. I paired it with pineapple and some chopped green onion. Very tasty. It is a "do again"!! Thanks!
If not freezing the recipe, is cooking it on low 3-4 hours plus the 10-20 min enough? Or dhould it be for 6-8 hours cooked on lowPlease clarify.
Thanks -
I made this a couple weeks ago and it was really good!! I used chili pepper flakes to give it a little more spice and added broccoli the last 10 minutes. Served over rice. My husband and I loved it! Thank you for the great gfree recipe. =)
I was wondering if the is a subitutions for the pepper flakes there is an allergy to them in my family. thank you for your help and time
If I want to cook this on the stove top, or in a dutch oven (in the oven), what would the temperature / cooking times be? I don't like using the crock pot much.
Hi, I've found for 3-4 hrs on low in the slow cooker the conversion comes out to 45min-1hr on 325 degrees for a dutch oven. Some recipes need a little more liquid but that varies as well. Hope that helps.
Is the cornstarch necessary? If it's just needed as a thickening agent, then I'll substitute almond flour for it. I was just wondering if this is something I could leave out all together.
You could look into adding tapioca starch instead of corn for thickening
Great recipe. I am new to freezer cooking and want to try this one. My question is, can I use Chicken Breast instead of thighs? IF so, how would the cooking time differ?
[…] Honey Bourbon Chicken in the Slow Cooker – At least once a week, I make a meal in the slow cooker, and this meal was easy and delicious! http://onceamonthmeals.com/gluten-free-dairy-free-honey-bourbon-chicken-in-the-slow-cooker/ […]
[…] GFDF Honey Bourbon Chicken in the Slow Cooker […]
Shouldn't the cornstarch be listed in the ingredients? Disappointed that I shopped from the list of ingredients only to find I didn't have them all since corn starch isn't listed, only included in the directions!
I made this last night with about 1.25 pounds of boneless skinless thighs. Cooked it on low for 6 hours. When I got home I found that the chicken was significantly over cooked and the sauce tasted overlooked as well. Maybe it's just my crockpot. I will have to try again and reduce the cooking time by at least an hour.
