Q: Place the venison roast in your slow cooker. Pour 2 cups (500 ml) of beef broth over it evenly. If you do not have beef broth, you could use venison stock, beef stock, chicken stock, or vegetable broth. In a pinch, you could even use water. Cut the butter into small chunks and distribute it evenly over the surface of the roast. If the butter has been softened, smear it over the top and sides of the meat. If the butter is still hard, however, simply distribute the chunks of butter over the surface as evenly as possible to distribute the flavor. Combine the garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and rosemary in a small bowl. Sprinkle this blend of spices and herbs evenly over the top and sides of the roast. If you want the seasonings to penetrate the meat even further, consider using your hands to rub the seasoning blend into the meat. This works best if you are also using softened butter since you can spread both the butter and the seasonings over the surface at the same time. Spread the diced onion over the top of the roast. Layer the cubed potatoes and chopped carrots on top, as well.  Even if you choose not to prepare the roast with vegetables, you should still add the onion. Many people claim that the pungent onion flavor masks the "gamey" taste of a deer roast. If you prefer crisp, firm vegetables, you can wait until the final 2 hours of cooking time before adding the cubed potatoes and chopped carrots. The onion should always be added at this time, however. Cover the slow cooker and switch it to low. A thawed roast should take about 8 hours, but a frozen or partially frozen roast will need a full 10 hours. Alternatively, you could switch the slow cooker on high and leave it for 6 hours. Once the roast has finished cooking, remove it from the slow cooker and carve it into portion-sized chunks. Serve the potatoes and carrots on the side.
A: Place the roast and broth in the slow cooker. Cover the roast with butter. Add the seasonings. Add the vegetables. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. Serve warm.

Q: Different photographs are needed for different reasons, such as a show or a shoot for an album insert, magazine, or press kit. Find out the requirements for the shoot, so you know if the photograph needs to be a certain shape or size, or if the band or public relations team has any special requests. Photo passes for concerts often have limits. Many do not allow you to have flash and only allow photos for the first 3 songs. Find out any rules and restrictions ahead of time so you can be prepared and get the best possible shots. Knowing what to expect before the concert can help you determine the best location to take your photographs. Learn the band's music as well as what actions they take on stage. Some bands are very active during a performance and dance around or get into the crowd. Others may have a more mellow style and simply sit or stand while singing. Many concerts take place late at night, so you may be working until the wee hours of the morning. If you are touring with a band, you’ll have to follow the call times and curfews as well. Be prepared to work long hours at a show in addition to spending time editing your photographs. When taking photos for press kits or publications, you’ll be able to choose the location. You must know the band and their music well in order to find a place that is suitable. For example, urban locations might be great for a punk band, while rural locations could be better suited for a country artist. You don’t just want generic shots of band members or performances. It’s essential that you capture the mood of the music and the personality of the band. Wait for that moment when a band member’s personality shines through in their performance to take your shot.  If you’re doing a photo shoot, don’t be afraid to ask the band members to move or position themselves differently. Make sure you take into consideration the differences between members, as some may be more outgoing than others.
A: Determine what the shoot is for. Learn the rules. Find out what kind of performance the band will give. Expect crazy hours. Choose fitting locations. Capture the band’s personality.

Q: Each denomination has its own guidelines governing the way that oil is blessed for anointing purposes, as well as the way that anointing oil is used.  The most common restriction regards who may bless or anoint the oil. In some denominations, such as in Catholicism, only a priest or similar clergyman can bless the oil. Some denominations even limit which clergymen are authorized to consecrate oil.  It is also important to note that some denominations, such as the Latter Day Saints, also have guidelines and laws concerning what oil should be consecrated and how it can be used afterward. You can use any type of olive oil that is available. However, it should be olive oil instead of another type of oil since it has greater traditional and biblical significance because it is mentioned in religious texts.  Unless you are told otherwise by a religious authority, it is not necessary to buy special oil for anointing.  Extra-virgin cold-pressed olive oil is the purest variety available, so many people prefer to use that when shopping for an anointing oil. You can find this oil in the vast majority of grocery stores. If desired, you can buy scented olive oil from a religious or secular store. Oil that has been perfumed with frankincense and myrrh is both popular and spiritually significant because they are referenced in the bible. Find a small vial, bottle, or other container that you like the look of or that has special meaning for you. It needs to have a lid that closes tightly and does not leak. Make sure it is clean and the pour the olive oil straight into this container. This oil will become the anointing oil.  You can buy a special oil stock at a religious bookstore or online, or you could use any small bottle. The most common vial is a short metal container with a screw-on lid, with a sponge placed inside to help hold the oil in. However, less expensive plastic oil stocks are also available. Even a brown glass bottle with a dropper or a roller cap could be used. While you can anoint plain olive oil, some people add essential oils that have religious significance. Anointing the body with perfumed oil was once used to refresh the body. If done to someone else, the act was considered one of hospitality. The oils used can vary but consider adding one drop of each of these, as they are mentioned in religious texts, such as the bible:  Myrrh Cinnamon Cassia Calamus As long as your denomination does not prohibit it, you can usually pray a blessing over the oil on your own without the help of a religious authority figure. The prayer should be firm and one made in good faith.  The prayer you use must ask God to bless and cleanse the oil, so that it can be used for the sake of God's glory. For instance, the prayer might be something like, "God, I pray that you anoint this oil in Your heavenly name. I pray that You cleanse it of any defilement in it or upon it, and that You make it holy for the work of Your glory. May this be done in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen." The best way to keep the oil fresh is to store it at room temperature. Put the container in a dark area when you are not using it, such as a cupboard. Refrigeration is not recommended. If you refrigerate the oil, it will start to look cloudy. This is not harmful, though, and the oil can still be used even if it has gotten cloudy.
A:
Check with your judicatory or a religious authority for specifics. Purchase olive oil at your local grocery store or online retailer. Fill up a small, special container with oil. Add essential oils to the olive oil, if you like. Pray a blessing over the oil. Store the oil at room temperature.
