Collins, Jimmy
James Joseph Collins
Born: January 16, 1870, Buffalo, New York
Died: March 6, 1943, Buffalo, New York
Played For:
Louisville Colonels (1895), Boston Beaneaters (1895-1900), Boston Red Sox (1901-1907), Philadelphia A's (1907-1908)
Elected to the Hall of Fame by Veterans Committee: 1945
Jimmy Collins was a magician with the glove and a terror with the bat. A feared clutch hitter for the Boston ball clubs, he batted .346 in 1897 and in the following season, led the National League in home runs with 15. Collins hit .300 or better five times, was Boston's player-manager for its first six seasons in the upstart American League, and led his club to the World Championship in 1903. His defensive wizardry at the hot corner neutralized the opposition's bunting tactics.

Did You Know:
that on April 20, 1895, in just his second big league game, Jimmy Collins teamed with fellow Boston Beaneaters Hugh Duffy and Tommy McCarthy in an outfield of future Hall of Famers?
With a swoop like that of a chicken hawk, Collins would gather up the bunt and throw it accurately to whoever should receive it. The beauty about him was that he could throw from any angle, any position on the ground or in the air.

Enchanting already sucks. What do we get for ourselves? +4 all stats to a ring at best for crazy mats... GG. For how fricken expensive it is to lvl enchanting (non-enchanters dont even understand...) and the fact that we have to sit there and spam trade channels... would have been nice to get SOMETHING positive.

Big Warm-Up Coming!

Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse more stories.
Things are certainly starting to look up...and we're talking some serious increase in temperatures as we move into the second half of your weekend. How warm? Well I'm going to say that the early morning low temps for Monday-Wednesday will likely be at or warmer than our highs have been the last few days!
A warm front will lift north of our area tonight into the morning tomorrow, allowing for things to totally dry out later today. I think if you've got any dinner plans, you should have no travel issues later today. For tomorrow, we'll start off dry with a weak high pressure in control, but a cold front will pass over us late Sunday night, giving us some rain, but it won't cool us down much at all! Highs are still expected to be close to 10 degrees above normal for tomorrow through Tuesday.
After that, we have another cold front that will move through on Wednesday, giving us some more rain, and cooler temps on the back side of that front. Expect highs to drop down quite a bit as we finish off the next work-week! Below is a look at the temperature trend inland:

"An opportunity like this never would have come available to me if I had not taken the program in the Sault College/LSSU International Division," Hornblower said. "My employer was very impressed with the fact that I not only had a degree in computer networking, but the hands-on knowledge, as well. This is the main reason that I was hired."

This shot, in particular, riffs off the logo from the original show. If the women played along with some of these scenes, I still wouldn't want to get on anyone's bad side.

Natalie Groff is passionate about her calling as mother to toddler Wesley and baby Lydia. But she also follows a call to use her gifts as a marriage and family therapist. This year, God provided a perfect fit for her: working part time with River of Hope, a therapy ministry in Lebanon begun by fellow alumnus Dave Musser.
"Seeing God provide the perfect fit of a part-time job for my passions and life calling as a mom," she says, is a highlight of her post-Evangelical life. And working in an environment where she can pray with clients and talk about spiritual issues is a blessing.
"Evangelical gave me the tools I needed to be an effective therapist and the confidence I needed to pursue the passions God had laid on my heart," she says. "The training I received prepared me with the skills, experience, and spiritual formation necessary to be an effective therapist. Evangelical's integration of theory and theology was integral in preparing me for the work I do every week at River of Hope. I am very grateful God led me to Evangelical."

MAKITA - quality you can depend on...
Comment:well designed, well built, lightweight quality tool. Just like my seven other Makita tools. Only buy this tool if quality matters & you want it to last. My oldest Makita is a 9.6V 3/8 drill, I think its 24 years old, still works as well as the day I bought it. Although I prefer my new Lithium Ion drill.Jill of all trades, master of none.

Lindsay Lohan and her left nipple did a little shopping yesterday, hitting up the jewelry store XIV Carats in Beverly Hills.
Clearly she knows all about the Four Cs of diamonds ... and then some.
She's completely on her way to screwing up after her formal probation is up. She's back at the Chateau already, barely finished her CS in time this time around, living with her pimp, crashes parties lookin like the Pillsbury doughboy with all that blow up her nose, and is abusing booze and prescription meds. Explain the bloat if she isn't. Yeah she'll keep her nose clean until 2014.
I had a suction cup dart gun as a kid. Her lips caused me to reminisce.
As far a nips goes hers has been reconstructed so many time now from the different agmentations shes had whats the count (4 ) now that there ain't nothing left but a small numb nub..bet those suckers havn't got in feelings left in them ...deader the doornails....LOL
Gloday maybe you need a business lesson hef does not own playboy when the magazine started to go bankrupt he had no choice but to offer public shares of the company to simplify it for you it is a publicly traded company with hundred of thousands of shares that are not bought and paid for. Hugh Heffner has to answer to a board of directors and stock holders, and for your information lindsay's issue did not make money it sold the same amount as the 11 magazines in 2011 which hasn't been a good year so who is the Dumb A$$ now.
just freaking eeeww...lips by vikram
hey should have searched the trunk..I am sure LNORs body is there..
I use to love fried eggs..not anymore..i will never look at them the same..
The shirt was not see through until the photog took a pic of her with his flash. It's a trick some pervs use to see through cloths. Look it up on Youtube. Remember in the 70's when everyone was going bra-less.
You know you're a goddess when an entire story is written on your nipple being briefly seen through your clothing.
The H8rs have built a huge library of data that consists of "Lilo's Inventory", when they should be worried about taking their own inventories, because there are a sh*t load of parts missing aka brain cells!!!
Out of curiosity where does she get all of this money to shop from? Her "career" has been dead for years and I figured any money she made as a kid would have been stolen and used up by those two train wreck "parents" of hers.
Shouldn't she be paying her tax bill and not buying jewelry?
lips should not look like cornflakes on steroids.
more chins then a chinese telephone book..
lindsay go steal some pigmant..and lee press on hair..the mr. clean look is not "trending"
she is starting to look like boy george
Lindsay wears a black top, waistcoat and jacket, the paps use their flash cameras and BINGO we have a 'nips' story. So lame, I guess TMZ are suffering from lack of 'hits' syndrome. All of you, including TMZ have missed the REAL story here and I ain't telling.

The Asian Growth Miracle: Factor Accumulation, The Demographic Transition And R&D-Driven Growth
AbstractThe spectacular growth rates in the Asian miracle economies (AMEs) are often attributed to factor accumulation whilst ignoring the forces that have been responsible for it. Using data for six AMEs over the period from 1953 to 2009, this paper extends the conventional growth accounting exercise by allowing for the population growth drag and endogeneity of capital deepening, savings, labor force participation and schooling. It is shown that growth has been predominantly a result of the demographic transition and productivity growth, where the latter has been driven by R&D, knowledge spillovers through imports and R&D absorptive capacity.

We're in for a long hot summer, which should come as no surprise as we are always in for a long hot summer. But why not embrace the light and the heat and take a walk on the wild side.
Let the English cottage-style hedges and flowers grow where they belong. As we speak, you could be filling your garden with Baby Blue Eyes, Blazing Stars and Monkeyflowers.
California native plants have some pretty dour, boring publicists. Their booster literature is either sanctimonious or scolding. Arguments for natives rarely mention their beauty; mostly it's all about our personal responsibility and environmental ethics.
Water-wise, ecological duty, and yada, yada, yada. As if a California native garden were an austerity measure rather than a pleasure; something only undertaken by those versed in self-denial – ultra marathon runners, for example, and drinkers of wheat grass.
Another reason some may be slow to go native is that many Cal native gardens aren't particularly well designed. Given the rangy, unstructured look of most of the plants, the garden requires not only disciplined layout and design, but enough hardscape to give the eye direction, and resting places -- fences, river rock, walkways -- a frame and context to their wild ways.
The Holy Grail for California native plant enthusiasts is the Theodore Payne Foundation for Wildflowers and Native Plants. Payne moved from England to California at the turn of the last century, and became a vocal, almost evangelical advocate for preserving and landscaping in California native fauna. Imagine that, a Brit who found more beauty in the golden poppy than the rose.
According to the Payne Foundation, our state has a greater diversity in native fauna than all the other states combined. Surely there's a handful within the 6,000 species and sub species to catch anyone's interest.
But their colors are really the trump card. You know, brilliant colors suit the lush verdant greens of the tropical rainforest, but they look a little garish, even harsh, over here. We're better suited to the soft pastels -- both logically and aesthetically.
So this summer, as you remove victims of past hopes and environmental denial, leave room for some original inhabitants. Plants with beauty and brains. And great personalities.

On the 27th we finally got the call. I'd been very impatiently waiting for. I've reminding myself that it was all about timing and the right fit. We'd had a few calls but the kids were out of our demographics so we had to say no.
When we finally got the right call I was so excited. A little boy, 3 years old, - our first foster kid.
But immediately my excitement was conflicted with sadness. I realized that a family had been torn apart that day.
I prayed for his Biological mother, the sibling, his little heart. I couldn't even imagine what that experience would be like.
I would soon find out.
Little JT came to us that evening and we began the process of settling in- which I realize is anything but settling. It's a mad flurry or introductions, immediate boundaries with a smile, trips to Meijer for everything the child did not come with, calls to the Foster Closet to find out when we can visit to get resources etc.
Saturday morning we did some errands and were driving home with JT in the back. We were on a main street, and the traffic suddenly got a bit congested. There were cars slowing and some switching lanes.
Garage Sale.
"Oh that's weird, even a cop is at that garage sale." Jon laughed.
Indeed there was. I leaned forward in my seat to get a better glance at what they were selling that had so many people's attention. What I saw broke my heart.
A grandmother in the front yard fell to her knees. She grabbed her grandchild in her arms, as the little girl sobbed hysterically.
She had a large bruise around her eye.
A police man stood behind them with his hand on her shoulder as he gently tried to free her from grandma's last goodbye.
I knew what I was witnessing.
"That little is being removed." I said.
The deep sadness settled into my heart again. Everyday this is happening around us, but rarely does it touch our lives. Families are being torn apart every day.
And while I love everything about our little JT, part of me wishes it could be different for him. I wish he could be in his family, happy and whole. I wish things could be good for them, and they could be united. I wish he'd never had to experience the fear and sadness of being separated from his mother.
But I know for now that is not possible. So for now I will try my best to give him those things in our Patchwork family.

arthas is buried in sw theres a guarded tomb with the symbol of lordaeron on it
I wouldn't be surprised in the least, if we find one day that Sylvanaas has Arthas' body and has reanimated him, just for $#!t$ and giggles...
If we ever dispatch her in game, he'll be some macabre puppet propped up against the wall in her throne room. If there's any NPC in game that can make Arthas a sympathetic figure, its her.
That's likely a memorial for King Terenas, or the lost lands of Lordaeron in general - Lordaeron took in tons of refugees after Stormwind - the city and kingdom - were razed by the Orcs. Many many humans must've been heartbroken upon hearing what happened to the once glorious and kind Kingdom.
I hadn't considered that possibility, but I definitely hope it's the case. (I personally disagree with Arthas seeming "sympathetic" after being left with Sylvanas ~ in contrast, if there's any one NPC in WoW who deserves that fate, it's Arthas.) Perhaps his body is the "bargaining chip" that Sylvanas is using with the val'kyr.

He's a 3rd string TE. Are you serious.

PLAYERS: Zach Potter, Todd Sauerbrun, Blaine Gabbert, Chad Henne

TEAMS: Jacksonville Jaguars
Those following the NFL Draft on Friday probably had to do a double take when they saw the Jaguars selected Cal punter Bryan Anger with the seventh pick in the third round. It was a pick for which the Jags came under fire — these days taking a punter that early is rarely seen. Even the team's own players were critical of the selection. Here's what tight end Zach Potter had to say: Potter has since removed that tweet. That was probably when he finally realized he was actually going to be teammates with Anger. In the Super Bowl era, only 19 punters have been drafted in the first three rounds. Todd Sauerbrun, the last punter selected higher than Anger, went to the Bears at the 24th pick of the second round in 1995. Ray Guy, of course, was a first-round pick by the Raiders in 1973, but then again, that's the Raiders for you. Anger certainly has some impressive credentials. He was an All-Pac-10/12 selection for the past three years. He also nailed 90 kicks inside opponents' 20-yard line...

A judge will soon make a ruling about dropping charges against the executive mansion chef accused of embezzlement, which comes just as the governor cut a check to the state.
Governor Bob McDonnell has reimbursed the state nearly $2,400 for food and supplies taken by his children from the Virginia executive mansion kitchen. Most of the items were given to three McDonnell children when they returned to college after weekend or holiday visits.
"Every family sends their children back with some food to tide them over," said Anthony Troy, McDonnell's attorney. "When you're talking about $25 or so in food to tide you over as you go back – I think every family treats their children like that. I think the first family is entitled to treat their children like that."
In a memo accompanying the check, McDonnell says his lawyer has advised him the practice is not prohibited by state guidelines and may have been customary for governors with college-age children.
In Richmond Monday, former executive mansion Chef Todd Schneider asked a judge to dismiss his four-count embezzlement indictment. He's accused of taking food from the mansion for use in his catering business.
Schneider claims he was told by mansion staff to take the food in lieu of payment for various events that went beyond his official duties.
The judge said she will rule by the end of the week.
On the campaign trail in Norfolk, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli defended the way his office handled the embezzlement case. "Every decision made by our office when we had that case was absolutely appropriate," he said.
Also in court, the judge denied a motion by the defense to lift a gag order on the case.
Statement from Governor Bob McDonnell's Director of Communications:
As is typical with children returning to college after spending time at home with their parents, the McDonnell children returned to school after holidays and breaks with basic food and supplies. Recently there have been news reports alleging that some of the supplies and items with which they returned were not reimbursed, or should not have been brought back to school. Upon hearing of those reports, the governor immediately tasked Chief of Staff Martin Kent and outside counsel Tony Troy with researching this matter and presenting him with a list of any items that it could be argued should be reimbursed by the First Family.
Mr. Troy presented the governor with his report last week. Mr. Troy also informed the governor that there is no state prohibition regarding college-age children returning to college with food/supplies from the Executive Mansion, their home. This was the first time the governor had seen this set of expenses and the first time they were ever presented to him for the consideration of reimbursement. In an abundance of caution, the governor immediately reimbursed the full amount, and you will find copies of those checks in the enclosed documents. Governor McDonnell has reimbursed the state for all of the listed items.
The McDonnell boys each brought back an average of $62 worth of items per trip per boy over a three-year period. The McDonnell's daughter returned to school each time with an average of $26 per trip over a two-year period.
The governor has always paid all reimbursements presented to him in a prompt manner. There is a longstanding, regular reimbursement process at the Executive Mansion. It is the exact same reimbursement process that has been in place at the Executive Mansion for multiple administrations. First Families are presented, on a regular schedule, with a list of items that need to be reimbursed for at that time, and those payments are made. This administration has adhered to that exact same process. When the governor receives a request for reimbursement he pays it. In this instance, the governor reimbursed for these items despite the advice of counsel which stated that reimbursement was not required.

Presidential Polls 2012: Skewed Polling and Biased Media Coverage Give Obama False Advantage Over Romney
One factor that the Dems cannot control is the number of anti-Obama books that have been on the New York Times best seller lists for months now. There are usually two, some weeks there have been three. The popularity of the movie 2016 shows that people want to know what the media is hiding. People are shutting off the TV and reading or going to a movie to get what the mainstream liberal media refuses to air.
Presidential Polls 2012: Skewed Polling and Biased Media Coverage Give Obama False Advantage Over Romney
Editor's Note:This piece originally appeared at PolicyMic.
From its double standard on how the mainstream media has covered both campaigns, to the 2008-Democrat heavy polling models they use, to the lack of investigative reporting on the scandals associated with this administration, it has become blatantly evident that the mainstream media harbors a liberal bias, commits endless hypocrisies and will not hold this president up to the same standards it has for previous presidents.
Campaign Coverage
I find the messaging from both campaigns to be remarkably stunning. Despite both candidates being Harvard...

Transgender rights make quiet advances in US
The Reverend Cameron Partridge (R), an Episcopal chaplain, poses for a photograph at the Washington National Cathedral on June 22, 2014, after the religious service in Washington, DC - by Ivan Couronne
The venerated church, where the funerals of 21 US presidents have been held, invited Reverend Cameron Partridge onto the pulpit in a service Sunday during LGBT Pride Month, which celebrates the victories and contributions of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities.
"It's pretty overwhelming, to be honest, and it's pretty inspiring," Partridge, 40, told AFP after the service, when he was congratulated by dozens of worshippers.
Partridge marked his transgender "coming out" 13 years ago, deciding to quit his biological female identity and live as a man.
Today he is married to a woman, is father to two children and serves as a chaplain at Boston University -- one of the few openly trans priests of the Episcopal Church, a Protestant denomination.
Partridge's journey from young lesbian to an established male priest illustrates the increasingly common decision by transgender Americans to live openly in society.
They stand emboldened by legislative successes in about 20 states which have passed laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of gender identity at work, school, in health care or housing.
"The last two years have seen an accumulation and the outcome of years and years of work," said staff attorney Matt Wood of the Transgender Law Center located in California, where trans rights are among the most advanced in the nation. "It's not just that these things suddenly happened out of nowhere."
- 'Patchwork' of 50 states -
Eighteen of the 50 US states have adopted laws banning workplace discrimination against transgender people. Eighteen states also bar "gender identity" bullying at school.
In 29 states, it is possible to obtain a new birth certificate reflecting one's new gender, without being buried in medical and legal bureaucracy.
And five states require that insurance companies cover gender transition treatments, on medical advice, including hormone therapy and sex-reassignment surgery.
For many, that is just a beginning.
"We still have a long, long way to go, even in securing formal, legal equality, let alone addressing the disparities in health and economic opportunities and other areas of life," said Harper Jean Tobin, policy director for the National Center for Transgender Equality.
"We have a patchwork in the US," Tobin added. "Even within each state they may have a different policy for driver licenses versus birth certificates."
Many conservative and faith-based voices have denounced what they see as encroaching LGBT propaganda, and challenge the idea that a person can identify as a gender other than their biological one.
"That means Americans will no longer be allowed to express dissent, moral or otherwise, about the choice to discard the oppressive 'gender binary' and be whichever blend of genders you choose," conservative columnist Brent Bozell wrote on Townhall.com.
"Disagree, and you 'stigmatize' and 'dehumanize' people," he added. "Freedom of speech in America is dying."
Eight southern and western states have passed laws essentially muzzling the issue: schools there cannot mention gender identity in anti-bullying rules. And in 29 states, an employer can still legally sack workers because they are gay or transgender.
The movement has a crucial ally in Obama. The president has signed several executive orders, applauded by rights groups, including those that enshrine trans rights for federal employees. But such authority is limited.
Faced with the patchwork of state-by-state legislation, Tobin hopes Congress or the Supreme Court could step in and bolster trans rights. A 2013 example, in which the high court gave a boost to gay marriage rights that have now been expanded to 19 states and Washington, serves as inspiration for trans activists.
The movement also relies on transgender people taking the reins in changing American attitudes. The image of actress Laverne Cox, heroine of popular television series "Orange is the New Black," adorned a Time magazine cover last month, alongside the title: "The transgender tipping point."

Albany- Albany Police break up a shoplifting ring at a popular outlet store. Managers at Beall's Outlet Store on North Slappey called police after surveillance video caught four clerks stealing merchandise.
Investigators say, Supervisor Willie Harris helped Tamika Johnson, Juana Jones, and Darra Goldsmith steal clothing and other items.
"He would allow co-workers to come through his register and get items and merchandise without paying, totally wouldn't pay or sometimes he would ring up a lower price for a higher priced item," said Sgt. Gregory Elder, Albany Police Department.
Police recovered about a thousand dollars in merchandise from suspects homes Thursday. They say much of the clothing will be hard to recover but believe the thefts amounted to more than two thousand dollars. Three of the suspects face felony theft charges.

Microcredit and Women's Empowerment: Through the Lens of Time Use Data from Rural India
AbstractThis study examines the impact of microcredit on male and female time use and draws on this analysis to explore the linkages between credit and women's empowerment. A study of time use can help understand these linkages because credit targeted at women with the intent of influencing their livelihoods must also influence the way they allocate their work time. Its other advantages are that it does not suffer from much time lag and can be objectively measured. We use survey data from rural India. Our findings show that while microcredit has little impact on women's time use, it helps their husbands shift away from wage-work, which is associated with bad pay and low status, to self-employment. We find that this is because women's loans are typically used to enhance male ownership of household's productive assets. Further, we find that only women who use loans in self-managed enterprises are able to allocate more time to self-employment. We conclude that if credit is to increase the value of women's work time then it is not access to loan but use of loan that matters. Specifically, women's control over loan created assets is critical.

Frozen beef in the slow cooker?
Hi all,
We just bought two pounds of sirloin tip steak from a stand at the farmer's market and would like to cook it in the slow cooker. Can I put it in the slow cooker frozen, or should it be thawed overnight in the fridge? I have no idea what I want to do with it yet, or what style/dish/flavors we want with it. Don't know if that makes a difference...
re: King of Northern Blvd
I have put about a 3-4 pound pork butt in there at around 6 am, and let let it cook all day, and it turned out fine. you will need to adjust your seasonings. I've never done a sirloin frozen in there, but the pork was fine. Using a whole big roast like that you can make all the recipe ingredients and step away.
A few suggetions are:
Stout Hearted Beef with garlic mashed potatoes
Chili Colorado
Swiss Pot Roast or Beef with Cider served with Noodles.
I love my slow cooker, and I use it often, especially when I wnat dinner to be ready for us when we've been gone all day. It's a nice "Welcome Home!
re: chef chicklet
When you say beef with cider - do you mean apple cider, hard cider? Sounds good. I have very little experience with meat in general, and with slow cookers especially. Does it have to be a certain cut to be called a pot roast? If I'm looking for recipes for the slow cooker, does it really matter what cut of beef it is? Thanks!
re: ScarletB
Sorry to respond so late, the cider is apple cider. I think that the best pot roast is a chuck roast, cheap cut of meat with more fat. But the recipe for the Beef with Cider calls for apple juice or cider either one, using an Eye of Round, less fat on this cut. comes rolled and tied, you will know it when you see it. This is a really tasty October recipe, making the gravy with 2 whole onions, and then fresh pasta or even spaetzle if you can. We love this one, ultimate comfort meal. I can post entire recipe, let me know.
to answer your question, I think for some recipes like the one above yes you should use the recommended cut. Don't forget about short ribs of beef, which can be done in a red sauce with cider vinegar too and brown sugar, or Thick cuts of sirloin with mushrooms and wine served with creamy garlic mashed potatoes. Nothing new here, just good homestyle food that you can feed a large amout of people with a few dollars.
I use the heck out of my slow cooker, and another thing, starting the beef frozen, sometimes is good it doesn't break down into shredded mush.
Have a good time and experiment with all types of meals and meats. When you are working outside the home or even inside for that matter, it makes life a little easier.
You can put it in frozen. Just remember that there's a little extra water in the meat, so adjust your liquids accordingly.
A slow thaw preserves the texture of the meat better than a quick one, and the crock doesn't really like having frozen on one side of it and heat on the other. If you can protect the crock from the ice by putting vegetables or a sauce around it, that would work but it would also slow down the thawing/cooking part dramatically (which, as KONB points out, might be what you want.) It does depend a lot on your recipe but I would thaw first, all things considered.
re: pepper_mil
Slowing down the thawing part seems like a recipe for food poisoning to me.
I would DEFINITELY thaw it overnight! If this is a large piece of meat (i.e. not cut into bite sized pieces) there is no way it will cook uniformly --
There is just way too big a chance that a sirloin tip is going to thaw unevenly and potentially lead to some very bacteria-friendly conditions.
re: renov8r
My cooker works way too well for that to happen, if it did, I wouldn't use it for frozen meat times. I will never say never but my cooker is on high for frozen meat and the steam takes care of the other side.
I've thrown frozen roasts in the crockpot before and they always come out nicely. Just remember that slow cooked meat has a totally different texture and flavour; sirloin tip is one of those cuts that's right on the border between tender and tough, so you either need to not cook it past medium (and hence NOT in the slow cooker), or braise it in liquid for 8-10 hours (in the slow cooker) to get tasty results.
re: Romanmk
I must have a newer version, mine gets pretty hot. Howver,at garage sales, you'll see those ones that were popular back (bright orange) in the 80s and the things still work! Maybe thats' when the food poisoning problem should be considered. Make sure your temp is high enough not to allow for that icky food P problem. Your point is well taken, thanks!
Alot of mixed recommendations here - hmmm....
The rancher said that he uses this sirloin tip steak in the slow cooker often, so I'm not worried about it drying out too much. We'll definitely use liquid and do the long and slow method. I guess I should put it in the refrigerator overnight to thaw some, and then start the cooker in the morning.
I really can't decide in what style I want this. Leftovers for tacos would be fun, but the first night...?
Thanks everyone!

Welcome to Fine & Country Cheam
Estate Agent in Cheam
The Vision for the office was to create a space not seen before in estate agency. This space was to be luxurious and high tech but still very user friendly, private and comfortable. The result? We have two reception areas where clients can discuss their property needs over coffee, whilst uniquely at the back of the office our large communal desk allows staff to work closely heightening the customer care and allowing better communication all round. In the office you can pick up a copy of the Sutton and Ewell Guardian, Surrey Downs magazine and Fine and Country 's own magazine. Reassuringly we have won the prestigious office of the year Fine and Country awards 2008 and 2009.
We are located in the heart of Cheam Village, there is on road bay parking available in most of the surrounding roads and opposite the office. We would love to hear from you either by phone, email or in person so if you are passing and would like to see our office please feel free to visit at any time.

hi Cepae..
you can update the module manually, by extracting the module's contents to you hard drive, and then upload the files via ftp to SIH's directory in: (siteroot/modules/mod_sih) replacing the old files..
this should keep your existing copies of the module.
thanks for the review and top rating :)
You can try and use CSS auto option - current template (Find it in Server side COnfiguration under Config) - BlastChat tries to pick your CSS definitions automatically from your current template used, not always to perfect result. Or you can always adjust your current template CSS file or download existing CSS from our website and adjust those.

The Galiano Slim, like it's chubby brother the Galiano, was inspired by materials native to our west coast home. Galiano Slim's bio-degradable light shade is made from reclaimed Douglas Fir. The twig, which serves as the light's pull switch, is a section of a wind-downed Arbutus branch collected from beautiful Galiano Island, BC.
