Pro Wrestling EVE SHE 1 Series 2018 – Live Thoughts
Posted by Ian Hamilton | November 13, 2018 | Europe, Pro Wrestling: EVE, Reviews | 0
Four shows, two days… and a lot of upheaval. EVE's second annual SHE-1 series is in the books, and it was quite a weekend.
We'll look to have more in-depth coverage of some of these matches after they've dropped on EVE on Demand (which you really ought to subscribe to for these shows, and the rest of their library); our Flickr and Instagram feeds have dozens of photos from the weekend, but really, there's no substitute for video. Especially when EVE on Demand has a free trial!
In the meantime though, here's a few thoughts on most of the 23 matches that the Resistance Gallery played witness to (with apologies to the matches we've skipped, as the notes I'd taken on my phone disappeared into the ether…)
Show One
SHE 1 Block A: Millie McKenzie vs. Viper
We shot out of the gates with this one – the newly-crowned EVE International champion starting her campaign with a win, over a Millie McKenzie whom in recent shows has been adopting a "Young Lion" role it seems, picking up loss after loss after loss since she qualified for the tournament. A game outing that ended with Millie trapping Viper in a Cobra Clutch, dragging the champion down to the mat, only to get pinned as she lost track of where her shoulders were. A "too focused on one thing to notice something else" loss, which may not be your cup of tea, but looked to be playing into a longer-term change in attitude here.
SHE 1 Block A: Jamie Hayter vs. Madison Eagles
Maybe our favourite match of the entire weekend, this one looked to be a blow-out win for the debuting Eagles, but Jamie managed to get back into the match and ended up taking the win. There was a weird spot where there was a submission hold with both Hayter and Eagles in the ropes for the entire time – but the referee, despite looking at it throughout, didn't call it until "it was time". Look, if that's a planned thing and you're out of position, break it, do something in-between and go back to it, rather than have the referee look like a fool – unless it's part of his act. Slight negativity aside, this was the first time we'd seen Madison wrestle live, and she left a huge impression. Hopefully this isn't a one-and-done for Eagles in the UK, as she impressed across all four shows… and if the VOD lives up to our memory, this is making that nice long list of matches we've got to bookmark for the year. In fact, this outing alone instantly shot Madison up towards the top of our photographer Jen's list of favourite wrestlers… which is saying a LOT!
SHE 1 Block B: Rhia O'Reilly vs. Kris Wolf
Perhaps memorable for all the wrong reasons – the underlying story going into this year's SHE 1 was that Rhia O'Reilly was competing in her first tournament, having had to watch last year's from the sidelines having broken her ankle. Unbeknownst to most of us, Rhia had tweaked her knee wrestling for Courage Wrestling in Ireland a few weeks ago, and was looking to gut through the tournament. Problem was, part-way during her match with Kris Wolf, her knee buckled, and all plans were thrown out of the window. A win for Kris in rather unfortunate circumstances… and rather than focus on the bad news coming out of this, perhaps we can grab a new euphemism out of Kris Wolf, when she noted that referee Chris Hatch "smelled like hard work". You can take that how-e-ver you want!
SHE 1 Block C: Jetta vs. Command Bolshoi
Aside from a quick watch of a WRESTLE-1 show the day before, this was the first time I'd ever seen Command Bolshoi. I'm not in the same group as those who "weren't blown away", since you have to temper your expectations when someone's in the twilight of their career, Command more than played her part across the whole weekend. Here though, she provided a base for Jetta to remind us that she's so much more than a comedy worker (indy or otherwise!), and despite coming up short, there's plenty in the Jetta playbook.
Show Two
SHE 1 Block A: Viper vs. Madison Eagles
In the EVE pyramid, Viper is up in the so-called "God tier" of performers, picking up wins against the majority of the roster. Up against a fly-in like Eagles, this was an interesting bout, and one that had Eagles on a par with Viper for most of the match. Eagles' submission game more than grounded Viper, but in the end it was the newly-crowned International champion who took home the win and set up a tantalising finale with Jamie Hayter.
SHE 1 Block C: Kasey vs. Command Bolshoi
Telling a crowd you've a fear of clowns perhaps isn't the best thing to do when you've got a mob that loves to antagonise you. Sorry Kasey! Still, it didn't overshadow the entire match – although the fear didn't help Kasey as she fell to another loss… which set up two matches for show three: a battle of those with 100% and 0% records looking to avoid varying failures.
SHE 1 Block C: Jetta vs. Toni Storm
All the comedy here, with Jetta coming out dressed as Toni Storm… and the shenanigans continued as Toni mirrored her foe. It nearly worked, as Jetta convinced Toni to do her "signature pose" (which was "lay down and cover your eyes")… except referee Chris Hatch refused to help Jetta to an easy win, as he'd not started the match. As for the rest… well, watch it yourself!
SHE 1 Block B: Erin Angel vs. Charlie Morgan
This was not a match that anyone expected this weekend, with Angel having been a late replacement for Jinny, while Charlie Morgan was a fill-in replacement for the injured Rhia O'Reilly. Always bring your gear, folks! Despite the lack of advance warning, these two looked comfortable against each other, even if the match didn't seem to go too long. That being said, when you look at their places in the EVE roster, there was only ever going to be one winner…
SHE 1 Block B: Charli Evans vs. Kris Wolf
…or perhaps this ought to be Charli vs. Kris & Tito, I'm guessing since Charli thought she'd have better luck against the wolf's head. She almost did… but then had to turn to use Kris' tail against her. Continued animal cruelty against Kris and the wolf proved to be Evans' undoing, as an angry wolf took the win.
SHE 1 Block A: Millie McKenzie vs. Jamie Hayter
As her fifth match in two days (having gone all the way to the finals of Southside's Queen of the Ring tournament the prior night), this was perhaps where the wheels really began to fall off of Millie's campaign. Having already lost to Viper after being overly-focused, she was caught off guard here by Jamie Hayter using weapons. Yeah, I don't know why that was allowed – having watched Command Attention without commentary, there may be a reason… but not knowing that, it really took you out of the match for a while. Despite Millie trying to put her through a board in the corner, your winner via making the most of her unfair advantage… Jamie Hayter, whose unbeaten singles run in EVE rolls on!
Show Three
SHE 1 Block A: Millie McKenzie vs. Madison Eagles
At this point, Millie was about 10% KT tape, and with Madison Eagles looking for a win, this was pretty much a gimme as the Aussie's submissions game helped her get the win in barely two minutes.
SHE 1 Block A: Viper vs. Jamie Hayter
… and we had a similarly quick win here. With Hayter attacking Viper with a chair on the stairway, we had a pre-match brawl in the crowd, but the use of weapons kept Hayter ahead before the bell. Once the bell did ring, Jamie made quick work of the International champion, putting Viper away with a curb stomp onto a chair in under a minute. Statement. Made.
SHE 1 Block C: Kasey vs. Jetta
Both women came into this with the Eurovision nul point, and in reality this was a dead rubber. As a testament to how well EVE have built characters, this match which could have had no real meaningful outcome was perhaps the hottest match on the card, as the crowd fully rallied behind Jetta. Kasey targeted Jetta's arm throughout, going after it in a bid to force a submission, while Jetta's big hope came from the back cracker and Japanese stranglehold combo, but in the end, Jetta had to really cling on and ride out the time limit… while begrudgingly getting the respect of her Northern Irish opponent. Yeah, Dann's overly loud time checks on commentary may have tipped off the finish, but that didn't kill any of the drama, especially after last year had a similar tease that didn't pay off.
SHE 1 Block B: Erin Angel vs. Kris Wolf
Coming into show three having already qualified, the onus here was for Kris Wolf to get through the match unscathed… against an Erin Angel who was pretty much playing for pride. We had a bit more of the comedy here, as Kris got a little too hound-like, finding Jamie Hayter's stick that had been left from under the ring earlier. Erin made her play fetch, before offering a treat… cooked chicken. Fortunately for Kris, the meat didn't provide too much of a distraction and she was able to complete her campaign with a 100% record.
SHE 1 Block C: Toni Storm vs. Command Bolshoi
This was the last "big match" to finish off the SHE 1 finals, with Wolf and Hayter having already qualified. Perhaps here was where Storm's youth paid off, as she was able to stay a step ahead of the veteran. My overthinking mind perhaps looked a little too deep into this, especially as we knew that Jamie Hayter and Kris Wolf were the other finalists – which meant that whomever won here was a moot point, since EVE had already built up something between the other block winners. Toni took the win with a Strong Zero piledriver, and that wrapped up a 100% successful block for the Mae Young Classic winner.
Show Four
Charli Evans vs. Madison Eagles
Our first non-tournament match was one that Charli Evans had apparently as a dream match – and on paper, it was executed really well. With Madison's only win in the block being the injury-curtailed victory over Millie, this was her chance to shine, and shine she did. Go out of your way to catch this on EVE On Demand, as you'll not be disappointed – Eagles' ground based, submissions offence edged her ahead, and made sure it was the "visiting" Aussie who left, while the UK-based Aussie was left licking her wounds, having to pick herself up for whatever's next for her in EVE.
Speaking of Madison… can one of the many bookers of intergender wrestling put her in with Chris Brookes? Maybe that's one for Game Changer Wrestling's Bloodsport no-ropes show… since the pair of them would easily get rope breaks…
Erin Angel & Jetta vs. Millie McKenzie & Command Bolshoi
Another fun match, originally sparking when Millie McKenzie – from Coventry – helped stake a claim that she was one of Coventry's best wrestlers. Running through the rest of Jetta's nicknames led us to wonder "she can't be the Princess Diana of British wrestling, then what can she be… Jetta gave us an answer. Sarah Ferguson. I'm pretty sure Millie might have had to Google the reference… as for the match, well, we saw another glimmer of "evil Millie", who again found herself taking the fall – and she might well have been inspired by Command Bolshoi's gleeful responses when Millie was on top. A win for the reunited WrestleFriends – and more seeds sewn for the months ahead for all three regulars.
Kasey vs. Laura di Matteo
With Kasey still getting taunted about clowns, this was a perfect match for Laura di Matteo to come in and stake her claim for a regular spot, having been on and off the cards since failing to qualify for SHE 1. This was a pretty solid match, with both Laura and Kasey looking good, but in the end we came down to a new-ish storyline as Kasey claimed she was forced to "represent Ireland alone" because of injuries to Rhia O'Reilly, and her sister Leah as well. It backfired, as Laura di Matteo got the win – leaving Kasey fuming and win-less all weekend.
SHE 1 Final: Jamie Hayter vs. Toni Storm vs. Kris Wolf
The obvious stories in this match, first and foremost – Jamie Hayter's unbeaten run in singles matches… the lone bad guy against two good guys, but also, Kris Wolf unusually straying from a pack mentality and wanting to win the match for herself meant that we had a three-way with only flashes of double-teaming. Hayter went even deeper into her bag of plunder, tying Wolf's hands to the gantry to keep her out of the picture for a while. Eventually, Kris got free and fought back, almost getting the win as she looked to powerbomb Toni Storm through a table… but in the end Toni escaped and hit a Strong Zero piledriver through the (real) table, only for Hayter to throw her out and steal the win. I'm sure there'll be some comeback from that, but in the end Jamie leaves the Resistance Gallery with the statue of an eaten apple, and becomes the new Ace of Eve…
Pro Wrestling EVE Championship: Kay Lee Ray vs. Charlie Morgan (c) vs. Nina Samuels
…which, coincidentally, was one of the titles Charlie Morgan held coming into this weekend. We started with a game of "can you top this?" between Morgan and Ray, who looked to out-daredevil each other as they went for their finishers and dives early. In the end, Charlie's attempt at being fearless ended up being her undoing, as she went up to the gantry for a senton bomb on Kay Lee Ray… only for the Scotswoman to miss… and then…
Coming in through the (only) door, was the returning Nina Samuels, complete with her Wildcard Contract taped to a chair. While this wasn't a quick win, we went a little longer, with Nina throwing her chair at Kay Lee Ray, before notably pinning Morgan with a Go To Sleep to complete the shock and wrap up the weekend with an unexpected title win.
Some have already brought up the Christian Jakobi saying that "it can't be Christmas every day", and while some may say that the Charlie Morgan reign was perhaps starting to run out of steam, it will be interesting to see where we head with Nina Samuels as champion. Much like WWE were want to do with their Money in the Bank holders, Samuels ate losses for fun before she "left", so Nina's got some ready made challengers… oh, and Jamie Hayter, assuming she's still champion by the time we hit WrestleQueendom.
Across these shows, it was notable that in spite of the injuries and withdrawals, none of this felt like we were watching a show that was rewritten or rushed to make up for injuries. Outside of EVE, the sphere of women's wrestling is one that's seemingly being hijacked for the sake of public relations… but aside from that, it was utterly refreshing being able to see fully-fleshed characters in their element. Be it good guys, bad guys, everything inbetween… without having to rely on the crutch of "the heels can only ever call their opponents the B-word" that seems to be the template used pretty much elsewhere. Who knew that characters could be so nuanced? Or shows be so fun without it feeling forced?
You can check out our photo galleries of these four shows at our Flickr page, while all four shows will appear to stream via EVE's on-demand service – which at time of writing has a seven day free trial. We'll be cherry picking some of our favourite matches in the weeks ahead for those who care about star ratings!

Last week, Zero Escape series creator Kotaro Uchikoshi detailed that an announcement was on the way for a "collaborative project" that he had in the works with Spike Chunsoft. While naturally this might have led to some speculation that a new game might be on the horizon (among other things) from the famed writer/director, the actual announcement seems like it might be quite the surprise instead, and quite a catchy one.
According to Spike Chunsoft, A-set is "a cheerful 18-year-old girl from Tokyo, Japan," with the company highlighting that she loves video games, singing, dancing, and making her own Let's Play videos in her free time. Given the singing talent that she displays in the music video, it's hard to deny that she has plenty of talent.

Der Weg zum Glück – Höchst interessante Begebenheiten aus dem Leben und Wirken des Königs Ludwig II. von Baiern ist der letzte der fünf großen Fortsetzungsromane, die Karl May für den Verlag H. G. Münchmeyer schrieb.

Auf 2.616 Seiten in 108 Lieferungen bot er seinen Lesern von Juli 1886 bis August 1888 Spannung und amüsante Unterhaltung.

Inhalt
Die Helden dieses Romans sind der bayerische König Ludwig II., dem Karl May hier ein großes und schönes Denkmal setzt, und ein schrulliges bayerisches Original, genannt Wurz'nsepp. Beide greifen in das Schicksal mehrerer Protagonisten des Romans ein und sorgen dafür, dass diese glücklich werden können.

So wird die arme Sennerin Magdalena, das Patenkind des Wurz'nsepp, die von dem Wilderer Krikelanton ihrer neuen Laufbahn wegen sitzengelassen wird, eine gefeierte Opernsängerin und Gräfin von Senftenberg. Ihr erstes Konzert gehört zu den ergreifendsten Szenen, die Karl May geschrieben hat.

Mehrere unabhängig voneinander eingeführte Handlungsstränge verbinden sich im Laufe des Romans, der zum allergrößten Teil in einem geografisch recht knapp gefassten Gebiet zwischen Bayern, Österreich und Böhmen spielt.

Einen Großteil des Romans nehmen der Kampf gegen die Machenschaften der beiden Bösewichte "Peitschenmüller" und "Silberbauer" ein, die vor langer Zeit in der Walachei ein Fürstenpaar ermordet und ihr Kind entführt haben.

Karl May bemüht sich in diesem Roman mit einem selbstgebastelten und äußerst fehlerhaften bayerischen "Dialekt" erfolgreich um Lokalkolorit. Die Geschichte endet mit dem Tod des bayerischen Märchenkönigs, während gleichzeitig auch der treue Wurz'nsepp an gebrochenem Herzen stirbt.

 Handlung um den Keryhof → ausführlicher Inhalt
 Handlung um den "Samiel" → ausführlicher Inhalt

Die einzelnen Episoden sind an sich unabhängig voneinander, werden aber durch hin und her wechselndes Personal und andere "Gastauftritte" miteinander verbunden, insbesondere der Fex als Opfer mit den beiden Müllern als gemeinsamen Tätern, Max mit Hohenwald sowie mit Eichenfeld und Steinegg, und der König wie auch der Wurzelsepp sind überall involviert.

Musikroman
Der Weg zum Glück ist im Wesentlichen die Doppelbiographie zweier Sänger-Karrieren: die der Magdalena Berghuber und die des Anton Warschauer, welche beide am Anfang des Romans als einfältige Naturkinder im bayerisch-tirolerischen Grenzgebiet unter den Namen Muhrenleni und Krikelanton bekannt sind, wo sie zahme Kühe hüten und wilde Gamsen schießen – und die, wie man so sagt, einander gut sind. Beide besitzen außergewöhnliche Naturstimmen, die entdeckt und gefördert werden. Leni wird protegiert vom guten König Ludwig und Anton von einem Wiener Musikprofessor Weinhold. Zum Lebensweg der beiden Sänger gesellt sich noch der des "Wasserfex":

 "Der ist ebenfalls ein Naturbursche, ohne Eltern, welcher vom Talmüller wie ein Sklave gehalten wird und dennoch heimlich an verstecktem Ort sich autodidaktisch das Geigenspiel beibringt. Es kommt später noch der Lehrer Max Walther dazu, der sich ins Dorf hat versetzen lassen (die Lehrerstelle dort gilt als Strafstelle). Er kann Orgel spielen und hat in Regensburg einen Gesangverein dirigiert. Vor allem aber kann er aus dem Stegreif dichten. Es wirken ferner mit ein Architekt und ein Maler. Und all diese Künstler vereinigen sich am Schluss des Romans zu einem Musik-Festival moderner Art, lange bevor man an Salzburg, Grenoble, Edinburgh oder Schleswig-Holstein dachte. Das alles geschieht natürlich im eigenen Festspielhaus – Bayreuth lässt grüßen! Dort wird eine Oper auf einen Text nach der germanischen Mythologie gegeben, komponiert und dirigiert vom Wasserfex, gedichtet vom Lehrer Walther, und mit der Muhrenleni und dem Krikelanron als Hauptdarsteller. In diesem Roman treten sogar Richard Wagner und Franz Liszt auf, neben König Ludwig II. von Bayern. Der Text wurde ab 1886 geschrieben, unmittelbar nach dem Tod des Märchenkönigs und Franz Liszts."

Textgeschichte
Für das neunte Kapitel ("Der Samiel") verarbeitete Karl May seine 1878 erstmals veröffentlichte Erzählung Der "Samiel", die dabei stark an Umfang und Inhalt zunahm. Im Gegensatz zu den anderen Handlungssträngen, die von Anfang an alle mehr oder minder miteinander verwoben sind, bleibt diese Handlung völlig isoliert; die einzigen Verbindungen zum Rest des Romans sind die geographische Einbindung von Kapellendorf als Filialgemeinde, die von Oberdorf und Eichenfeld aus bedient wird, ein kurzer Besuch von Ludwig Held und die Personen Wurzelsepp, Medizinalrat und König sowie die Anwesenheit der Protagonisten beim finalen Ball.

Der Text wurde durch einen editorischen Bericht über Herkunft und Entstehung ergänzt, der zu Prinzipien der Textgestaltung Auskunft gibt sowie ein Verzeichnis der Korrekturen enthält. Dieser Bericht findet sich im letzten Band.

Sonstiges
Der pseudo-bayerische Dialekt ist frei erfunden und "a echt boarische Ohrwaschern" könnte wohl tödlich beleidigt sein, wenn ihr dieser "Dialekt" als bayerisch zugemutet werden würde. Und doch gelingt es Karl May, mit nur wenigen Mitteln tatsächlich Lokalkolorit zu erreichen – wenn man einmal von den üblen Wortmissbildungen absieht.

Dramatisierungen
Es gibt eine Bühnenfassung von Johannes Reitmeier mit dem Titel Keryhof. Ein Bauerntheater nach Karl May (in echter oberbayerischer Mundart), die 1992 und 1993 auf Burg Leuchtenberg und 2004 noch einmal auf der Naturbühne Neuhaus gespielt wurde.

2012 gab es nochmals zwei Inszenierungen: zum einen auf Burg Lichtenegg, zum andern auf dem Jexhof.

Recently, I have been trying to figure out how to keep the laptops in our office from grabbing an ip address on the wireless connection when they are plugged into the local lan, thus grabbing two ip addresses, not to mention the security implications. Now, one would think this would've been something that would have been thought of early on and included in the operating system, or, at the very least, something you could do with group policy on a domain controller. Nope, at least, as far as I have been able to tell. I'm still a little hopeful that I might be able to figure out some registry keys to change, once I find a better registry monitor than the one I have, maybe I will figure it out.
It is very easy on most laptops to turn off the wireless connection, such as hitting the function key and F2 on Dell laptop, but who wants to rely on users pressing a key or key combinations every time they login to our network, so, an it has to automatically happen when you dock your laptop or plug in an Ethernet cable. Below I am outlining what I did to make it happen on several different laptops, the ones we actually use in the office. Good thing wireless networks don't get too finicky and work with most Telephone Systems International. Click on the image to see the larger size.
Dell laptops with a Dell wireless adapter in them are very easy to disable when connected to a wired network, on the adapter there is a setting called "Disable Upon Wired Connect", all you have to do is go into device manager, find the network adapter and double click it and go to the advanced tab. Enable this setting and it will turn off the wireless card when connected to your lan.

Thai central bank to deliver third straight 25bps hike on Nov. 30: Reuters poll
Posted on November 28, 2022 Author TNR Staff Comment(1)
By Reuters and published by CNA
THE Bank of Thailand will raise interest rates by a modest quarter-point on Wednesday for a third straight meeting amid fragile tourism-reliant growth and signs inflation has started to ease, a Reuters poll of economists found.
The widely-expected move, which would take the benchmark rate to only 1.25 per cent, constitutes one of the tamest central bank tightening campaigns in the world, underscoring ongoing worries about growth in Southeast Asia's second-largest economy.
Thailand's economy has lagged its regional peers and was not expected to return to pre-pandemic levels until early next year as its vital tourism sector, which makes up about 12 percent of output, has only just started to rebound.
With the slowest pace of inflation in six months in October, helped by government measures to ease the cost of living, BOT Governor Sethaput Suthiwartnarueput has said it is not necessary to aggressively increase rates to manage inflation like in other countries.
All but two of the 19 economists in the Reuters Nov. 21-25 poll expect the BOT to raise its benchmark one-day repurchase rate by 25 basis points to 1.25 per cent at its Wednesday meeting. The remaining two predicted rates will remain unchanged.
"We expect a relatively more modest recovery of the Thai economy and hence a less aggressive BOT compared to the rest of major and regional central banks on the back of easing inflation which may result in rather persistent weakness in the Thai baht," said Enrico Tanuwidjaja, an economist at UOB.
"Negative real interest rates will continue to favour the Thai economic recovery as it diverges away from an ultra-tight monetary policy elsewhere in the world, most notably in the US and Europe."
The US Federal Reserve has increased rates by 375 basis points so far in this cycle, with 75 basis point moves at the last four meetings and another 50 due in December.
Despite the wide interest rate gap, the baht has been one of the top performers in emerging market currencies, depreciating only about 7 per cent so far this year.
"External pressure on the BOT to be more assertive with rate hikes has also eased after the recent retreat in the dollar," said Krystal Tan, economist at ANZ.
"Capital inflows have returned to its domestic bond and equity markets in the month-to-date, and the decline in foreign exchange reserves has started to reverse."
A weak currency is generally considered positive for the tourism-dependent Thailand economy.
In the year before the pandemic, 40 million tourists visited the country, which has a population of 70 million. The government wants tourism next year to reach 80 per cent of its pre-pandemic levels, even as global growth is likely to slow.
"We expect Thai international tourism arrivals to be resilient to the global economic slowdown, with arrivals showing low sensitivity to global economic activity fluctuations historically," said Chua Han Teng, economist at DBS.

There are a lot of different approaches, techniques and tools to use when denailing reclaimed wood. 99% of the time I find myself using a claw hammer and dropping the nails in a bucket. I actually have this great old kitchen island with a sink basin set in (see pic) that is perhaps the best way to quickly collect your discarded nails.
Watch the video to see this technique in action.
When doing a lot of repetitive work, a good, ergonomic setup is key. Take the time to get cozy and get everything where you need it to be a one-person assembly line.
Step 2: Put Your Magnet Right Next to Your Hammerin' Hand!
Duh! Instead of pushing the magnet "out of my way" in my "ergonomic" (OCD) setup, I left it right next to my hammerin' hand, so when i pull the nail and it is in the claw, instead of reaching for a bucket or having them float loosely around, I simply bang the nail loose next to the magnet and the magnet does the rest to corral it up for me. Like I said, Duh!
Now I can simply scrape the nails into my bucket when the magnet gets full. Some people wrap their magnets in a plastic bag so they can pull the bag off the magnet and collect the nails in it. Also a good tip, I just don't like having the plastic bag around. It annoys me.
Put a plastic bag over the magnet and cleaning it will be easier.
Nice one mate A very good Instructable...Well done You got my Vote Tim ..
Great idea... I built a playhouse almost entirely out of reclaimed lumber. I used pallets for the exterior and interior finishes. I used a saws all to remove the slats and left the nail heads in for an aesthetic appeal.
weigh them in and get some money or straighten them out and use them again!
I do also use them quite often. thanks man!
Even the shingles, studs, and plywood were reclaimed from the discard piles at a couple of construction sites and a roofing supply company.


Problem Statuses should represent the stages that your typical customer query will journey through. For example your first status may be 'Acknowledgement Sent' & the next would be 'In Hand', then finally having either 'Confirmed Successful' or 'Unable to Progress' as your closing status within a Problem Pipeline. To add your Problem Status to a Problem Pipeline you must first configure these.
To configure your Problem Statuses you will require Prospect 365 Administrator rights, if you require these then please speak to your key CRM user or our Customer Services Team.
To edit your Problem Status, click on the settings icon in the bottom left-hand corner.
Once within the Settings Centre, navigate to the Service section & scroll down until you reach the Problem Status configure option.
By clicking on the 'Click to Configure' link, the Configure Problem Status window will open. To add in a new Problem Status click on the + icon along the top of the screen.
You will then be asked to give the new Problem Status a description. Please make sure this is relevant to the customer service stage that this status will be used for. Click create.
Now you have created the Problem Status, you will need to choose some additional preferences for this Status by clicking the Pencil Icon next to the newly added Status.
By clicking the Pencil Icon the below side panel will appear with some additional drop downs for you to configure.
Recall Required: In the CRM you can ensure users take ownership of a record by setting them a recall or otherwise none as a task. As a result you can determine if a recall is required or not when a problem is in this particular status.
Closed State: If this status is going to be a closed status such as confirmed successful or Unable to Progress then ensure this is selected.
Status Outcome: For reporting purposes you can choose whether the status is a positive, neutral or negative outcome. For example a Unable to Progress status may be a negative outcome whereas a Closed Successful status may be a positive outcome.
Allowing Editing: You can choose whether the Problem once in this particular status can be edited, read only or only admin users can edit.
Obsolete: If you no longer need a status anymore you can choose to obsolete it. By obsoleting a status users will no longer be able to choose this from the drop down.
Status Detail: Status detail can be helpful when further clarifying the current status. For example a status of Unable to Progress doesn't really explain why, so you may have a status detail for 'No Spare Part' & 'Customer went to Competitor'.
Once happy with your amendments click out of the side panel & your changes will be saved.
To add your Problem Status to your Problem pipeline please take a look at the Admin User - Configure Problem Pipelines article.

Basehor officer unscathed after suspect fires shots
By Ann Margret Montemayor
A Basehor police officer was shot at while assisting in the apprehension of four armed suspects Sunday night when a car chase that began in Kansas City, Kan., crossed into Leavenworth County.
Basehor Police Chief Lloyd Martley said the incident began at State Avenue and North 69th Street, near Turner Diagonal Highway, at 6 p.m. when four male suspects stole a person's vehicle and wallet at gunpoint. Kansas City officers pursued the suspects through the city and into Leavenworth County via Leavenworth Road.
As the chase entered Leavenworth County, Martley said, Basehor Police Officer Justin Self began following the suspects along with a Kansas City officer. The suspects eventually crashed their vehicle in a field at 185th Street and Leavenworth Road and fled on foot.
Self and the other officer apprehended one suspect immediately and began to chase the other three. During that chase, one suspect shot at Self, Martley said, and Self returned fire. Upon hearing the gunshots, a second suspect surrendered.
The remaining two suspects were found within 30 minutes, Martley said. One was trying to gain entrance to a residence when the homeowner called the police, leading to his capture. The fourth suspect was found hiding in a bush.
Neither Self nor the other officer was injured during the incident. Basehor Sgt. Frank Pflumm and officer Robert Holland also assisted at the scene.
Martley said Self did an outstanding job in the face of danger and deserves credit for his courage.
"For a young officer, he displayed exceptional professionalism and did an outstanding job of assisting in the apprehension of four dangerous felons that came into our county," he said.

Good job, glad the officers are OK! In all seriousness it makes a big difference when the officers are taken care of and have the proper equipment like shotguns and good training. We are glad the city is putting money into training and purchasing new equipment! Nice work Guys! Stay safe.
johninbasehor 6 years, 7 months ago
We all sleep better at night knowing that our Basehor police officers are some of the best and bravest. It is a comfort knowing that our police are just a phone call away when their help is needed. Good job and well done!
MzR 6 years, 7 months ago
Wow! Scenes of times to come, maybe, as the economy keeps dropping. Good job to ALL officers involved, because it's hard to believe KC and Basehor had only one officer each in pursuit of 4 criminals.
"...exceptional professionalism...outstanding job..." Sounds more like a PR piece for upcoming DUI officer's court hearing in June...which begs the question of how DUI Officer Self, who's not been allowed to drive, was able to assist the KC officer in the original chase because that's two cars and Officer Self has been the passenger officer with other driver officers....which means he got his driving privileges back at the May 14 hearing that merely asked for a continuance in June(which would go against the usual DUI rules if he did, right?), OR we're only mentioning Officer Self and leaving the name of his driver out of the story, OR Officer Self left his driver and jumped into the KC officer's car, OR....?? Facts, please, not a PR piece.
After not knowing that identity theft is a crime, and not knowing the REAL laws for DUI cases, at least now maybe the Basehor Chief/Administrator can see that this real-life example is a prime reason WHY the officers need to be prepared at all times, with vehicles repaired with something besides glue, having loaded guns, etc. Interesting that DUI Officer Self is designated as "exceptional professionalism...outstanding job...," but Chief/Administrator fired the former officer who exemplified the same behaviors...admitting it's just because he "didn't like the former Chief hiring" the officer!
Speaking of firing the former officer, yeah, whatever happened to THAT "loose end," Basehor City Council? Didn't see the August 2012 federal lawsuit listed in your last PR piece, I mean, city council agenda, where there was plenty of bragging about closing all the final "loose ends" of the "past." Scheez, what a bunch of losers.
Good going to ALL officers and homeowner in taking down these 4 criminals!
1st, it sounds like officer Self did a fine job!!! FYI, I was pointing out shotguns as standard equipment and the need for good training, But Good Point!! Per MzR.. ( "Now maybe the Basehor Chief/Administrator can see that this real-life example is a prime reason WHY the officers need to be prepared at all times, with vehicles repaired with something besides glue, having loaded guns, etc." ) Glue! WTH.......Yes, very one sided. So blatantly obvious once you actually pay attention...... Glad to see this positive story made the Sentinel's Facebook page.
amontemayor 6 years, 7 months ago
MzR, while this is a forum to express your point of view, it is not a place for speculative and false information. Self was driving his own police vehicle. It was Self and the KCK officer who pursued the suspects in vehicles. When the foot chase began, many other law enforcement agencies came to the scene. While you may have your own opinions on Self's DUI case, that's for the courts to decide and any accusations of mishandling are purely speculative on your part.

Great job all police involved! No reported injuries and all bad guys caught! I don't care how self got there but I am glad he was.
Mzr..... I have had a DUI. I lost driving privliges for 30 days. This is an article about a great effort from all police involved and you turned it against the chief and officer? Clearly a personal vendetta against the city for some reason.
LR 6 years, 7 months ago
Aw, gee, don't start with the victim thing again. MzR is obviously pointing out the facts, that it was an ALL-out effort of involvement, not just about 2 people, and you obviously agreed because you pointed it out twice in your own post, so give it a rest, will ya!
Way to go to ALL those who were involved and did their job!
listentoreason 6 years, 7 months ago
Self acted admirally, I too have served as a LEO and been shot at. But MzR is correct, police officers CANNOT have a DUI conviction. PERIOD. Self's conviction is a mere formality, as I am sure the police of Olathe? did their duty and the DUI process is airtight. If Self is not terminated soon, DUI really doesn't matter to the Basehor PD. There cannot be a double standard!
Self has not been convicted of a DUI. And police departments in different cities handle DUIs differently. It's comparing apples to oranges. -Annie Montemayor, Basehor Sentinel
"...speculative and false information...accusations of mishandling are purely speculative...apples and oranges..." Wow!
Makes one wonder if all the "investigative" journalists' real employer down at the Sentinel is the local newspaper or the local City Hall, based on the paper's on-going bias and complacency towards cover-ups, double-standards, and very controlled City Hall "news" around here!
Guess bringing up a few facts, as well as a "loose end" on an ignored lawsuit obviously trying to get justice for all the many real victims, hit a few nerves!
"...When the foot chase began, many other law enforcement agencies came to the scene..." Thank you for that additional fact that we all knew had to be there! Probably more likely to be "many other agencies began pursuit as soon as the dispatcher came on," but we can accept this much for now.
Nothing personal against Officer Self, somebody was on duty and it just happened to be him, and nothing personal against even Chief Martley - just disgusted with their lack of ethical and moral behaviors being allowed to continue by the City Council, who are still ignoring justice for the many real victims out there over the years, but expecting us to buy into the above PR piece of just how great only these 2 are!
Mzr... You act like u are trying do a great service to the community, when clearly you and LR are more concerned with a terminated former officer and his law suite. So please stop trying take credit from a young officer and the rest of the officers who did a great job, by bringing up your personal issues with the city. Self made a mistake that thousands If Americans make every night. He got caught. That has nothing to do with this article. And neither does a lawsuit! It is sad that you cant be happy for others because u two are so miserable.
I have not read anything that isn't supportive of officer Self or could be construed as inappropriate. People have every right to express their frustrations over: ignoring problems, overlooking corruption, a lack of reporting, lack of follow up, or the lack of actions to correct problems within the city government. Everyone has congratulated and thanked officer Self. I haven't seen any wild statements or false information on here. I have seen some questions and some things that are fact, even the glue comment. ( You have to do your own research )
I fail to see how stating this is an Example of why a city needs to be prepared, relating to not dealing with whatever problems need to be addressed, talking about concerns regarding the Chief of Police / administrator, asking for clarification regarding the amount of officers and Being Supportive of officer Self is somehow inappropriate. If these comments are NOT appropriate then this is truly a public relations article. I've lived in this town a long time and I've realized one thing. The city has a bigger shovel than any of us and they only use it when it suits them.
It is a good and well written article. I also got the feeling I was reading a public relations statement because of the quotes not because of the writing. I was also wondering why only two officers chased and were able to apprehend 3 suspects when the chase started in Kansas City, Kansas. I talked with a sheriff's deputy today from Jackson County, he also had the same questions as some of us. The sentinel and the City Council need to realize that people are frustrated. If you speak out in the City Council you're labeled, if you speak out on this website, you're insulted. At one point some were even threatened regarding IP addresses. But if you're the Mayor, former administrator, Martley or the city council, it's change the subject, move on, and it's not even worth talking about or writing about!!!!!!
I don't always agree with mzr, but at least she doesn't make excuses without rhyme or reason and protect vehemently people who do inappropriate or corrupt things.
"If you're not doing anything wrong, openness and ethics is never ever a problem". Former Captain
Hello armystrong, Yes, you do have the right to express your concerns, however you are also commenting anonymously. If you actually have concerns you'd like addressed, as I have said before, I am more than happy to speak with you. While you may know something for a fact, we can't act on the anonymous accusations. We only report what we can get on the record. So again, if anyone can actually put their name on their opinions, I am more than happy to listen to concerns. - Annie Montemayor, Basehor Sentinel
Don't at all disagree with you! I've seen some pretty wild comments on these blogs over the past good many years that haven't received this kind of attention. I am very supportive of you stepping up and moderating. The past year or so I have changed my thinking after reading some of these posts and frustration and doing my own research. Because of this I No longer have faith in our current City Council. I believe everyone here has shown support for this article and officer Self. Some are sharing their opinion about certain leaders and actions as they relate to this article. I don't see anything wrong with that or with you responding. You seem to always ask for information this is a great place to get it. Keep up the good work and again glad to see everyone was okay!


You have obviously come to this website in order to find out all about castles. You may be contemplating the possibility of actually visiting one or two. This could prove to be a somewhat dangerous business, so here are some words of advice, arranged in the form of a series of questions and answers.
Q1 Can I take my dog?
A1 Dogs are not necessarily a hazard to other castle visitors, but what they leave behind could be. Some sites say they welcome dogs, others ban them. I would say if you can avoid bringing Fido with you, great.
Q2 Should I take my children?
A2 Children can certainly be a serious hazard to the aged castle fanatic, on the other hand they are going to be the next generation of said fanatics, so they should be actively encouraged. And you can always send them ahead to check the safety of a particular route.
Q3 What special clothing should I wear when visiting a castle?
A3 There are no hard and fast rules on this one, but there are certain sites where full Himalayan climbing kit could prove useful. (Especially the ropes and crampons.) High-heeled court shoes are a definite no-no.
Q4 Can I take granny in her wheel-chair?
A4 By all means, but remember that castles were not designed for this sort of access, so she may not be able to visit all of the site, particularly the upper floors. Phone before you visit to check on any special facilities / help that may be available.
Q5 What is the best way to negotiate a spiral staircase?
A5 Go up on the inside of the stairs, hanging on to the newel for support, come down on the outside of the stairs, hanging on to the handrail or rope. At all times keep a sharp ear open for the sound of other people's children approaching (usually at Mach 4).
Q6 When do I buy a guide book?
A6 When you buy your entrance ticket.
Q7 When do I read the guide book?
A7 When you get home. That way you discover all the interesting things that you didn't see, and thus have an excuse to go there again.
Q8 In view of your earlier answers, are castles actually safe places to visit?
A8 They are perfectly safe. Just remember that stone steps wear with the passing of time, floors can become very uneven, and that there are usually a fair number of slopes about. If you walk sensibly and look where you are going, you should have no problems.
Q9 Should I take my camera with me?
A9 Yes. This is a most essential piece of equipment. If you have pictures of more than one castle on a single film, you will have hours of pleasure trying to work out which castle that particular shot belongs to. The one problem with photographing castles is waiting for all the other people with cameras to get out of the way of your shot.
Q10 If I find a particular feature that interests me, is there anyone I can ask for more information?

Q: Is N-layer and N-tier architecture same? Can anybody tell me what is the difference between N-Layer and N-Tier architecture.I know 3-layer architecture has 3 layers: UI, Business Logic Layer(BLL) and Data Logic Layer(Dll)
But now, my question is what is N-Tier and N-Layer and what is the difference between these.
Also how do these interact with one layer to another in respect to C#?

A: It is not the same.
Layer is concept of software architech - how you oganize your code.
Tier is concept of hardware architech - what machine run a part of your code.

A: Layer defines logical separation. If you have 3 layers, this means you have 3 separate parts of the system where each is responsible for separate thing.
Tier defines physical separation between layers. It does not mean this must reside in separate machines, but it means that the parts are separate and can be installed and used on their own.

A: It's about abstraction.
Read wikipedia's article on multitier architecture and it will tell you that indeed layer vs tier is about software vs hardware.  But that's not followed rigorously as a peek at the OSI 7 layer model will show you (it's not all software but they call em all layers anyway). And really, that isn't the point.  Abstraction is the point.
Be it layer or tier the point is, each level focuses on one clear responsibility and connects to the neighboring layers as little and as simply as possible.  Keeping the connections few and simple (loose coupling) allows alternative implementations of a level to be swapped out without disturbing the others.  That trick works the same in hardware as it does in software.
So, how to interact with one layer to another in C#?  This really depends on what your doing.  All your C# code could be the logic tier coordinating the interactions between an html presentation layer with an SQL database layer.  Or it could be you have many layers in a game with a model view controller design.  In that case all the layers are in C#.  Or it could simply be three classes that do three different things.  But only if they are connected correctly.  What makes them "tiers" or "layers" is that level 1 has to go through level 2 to get to level 3.  1 doesn't talk to 3 and 3 doesn't talk to 1.
But the thing that really makes it work is abstraction.  A good database layer makes updating and querying the database easier by hiding unneeded details from the logic layer.  Removing those details makes the logic code easier to write and read.
It's the same reason we put hoods on cars.  You could take off the hood, sit on the engine block, jam a rod in the rack & pinion assembly, grab the throttle cable, and drive the car.  Since the hood's no longer in the way you can now do amazing things like change the oil at 60 miles an hour.  Still, I think you'll find you're more comfortable driving with the hood on and behind the wheel with all those engine details abstracted away.

Leiston boss Richard Wilkins admits the Blues' play-off chances are all but over, but has called on his players to play for pride and league positions in their remaining four Ryman Premier games.
The Victory Road side are on course for their best-ever season by surpassing the 67-point mark they have achieved in each of the last two seasons.
Currently sat on that total, they are, however, eighth in the table with just four games left and four points adrift of Dulwich Hamlet, who occupy the final play-off spot with a game in hand.
Crucially though, Kingstonian, who sit a place above the Blues, have three games in hand on the men from Suffolk and with Leiston still having to play top-five teams, Dulwich and Bognor Regis, the odds look stacked against them.
Today, the Blues, who have a Suffolk Premier Cup final against Lowestoft Town to look forward to, are on the road at 16th-placed Staines.
Leiston won the corresponding fixture 3-1 in January,.
"You are always in with a chance when it's still mathematically possible, but I felt sorry for the lads over the Easter holidays," explained Wilkins.
"We got two draws at Burgess Hill and at home to Billericay and I thought we should have won both games.
"We had all the chances against Billericay, while we dominated at Burgess Hill in difficult conditions.
Billy Clark scored in the draw at Burgess Hill, while Joe Jefford was on target against Billericay. Both players are likely to be involved again today, in a squad that has a clear message to heed from their manager.
"I have had a chat with the players and we will not be thinking about beaches and summer holidays," added Wilkins.
"Our aim is to try and pick up as many points as possible and, with Dulwich and Bognor still to play, and tough games against Staines and Met Police, it promises to be an exciting end to the season.
"It would be great to finish in the mid-seventies points-wise and it's important, as a squad, to finish on a good note.
Leiston go into the game with just one defeat in their last seven games, but a couple of sticky patches have cost them dear this season.
"We had a difficult patch at the back end of November and into December when we didn't win in five, then we lost five from seven in February.
"We have made strides in certain areas but I have also been a bit frustrated with some of our offensive attributes.
Despite being on the verge of recording their best-ever season, Wilkins knows that work will need to be done in the close season.
"There will be areas that need to be improved upon and there will be probably three or four players coming in and three or four going out," admitted Wilkins.


Seeing Mayon Volcano is probably one of the highlights for tourists visiting Albay, it would be a lie to say that we did not put this on our top agenda for this trip. All throughout Grade School, we've been told that Mayon is one of the country's most beautiful landscapes, known for its "perfect cone", so we wanted to see it with our own eyes. Unfortunately, some things just don't go as planned.
"Mayon, where na u? Dito na us!"
Our two-day itinerary in Albay mostly consisted of places where we can get a good views of this majestic volcano. Mayon can be seen almost anywhere in Albay, since it is actually shared by eight cities and towns in this province. Even locals from neighboring places such as Sorsogon and Camarines Sur attest to having a glimpse of the Mayon especially during sunny days. Even though all weather forecasters are in agreement that we might be experience heavy rain the following day, we still prayed and hoped that we will see the volcano in its full grandeur even just for a day.
Our first destination was Our Lady of the Gate Parish, also locally known as Daraga Church. Built in 1773, it is said that the Parish of Daraga was transferred to this church after Mayon's eruption in 1814. This church also underwent renovations after it received its own share of "war wounds" during the American occupation in 1945. But despite that, it still gained its National Cultural Treasure status in 2007 for its baroque architectural design and preserved religious relics.
The first thing I noticed about the church's façade was its white painting. It somehow left a weird impression to me since I prefer historical structures to be preserved with its original look still intact, but that's just me. The detailed carvings were really impressive and even though we weren't able to see its interiors, it was satisfying looking at it even from afar. The downside was, even though it didn't even rain a single drop that day, it was very very very cloudy! It was so humid and yet the clouds decided to stay close to Mayon, blocking its glorious form from us. We were told that you can get the best view of Mayon during early morning and late afternoon, but even though we woke up around at around six in the morning, Mayon still shied away from us and decided not to show herself that morning. We opted to take a detour to Hoyop Hoyopan Cave to kill time, hoping that come afternoon, we will be lucky enough and see something awesome.
However, Mayon was still a no-show, she really must be a "cloud favorite" (me and my bad puns.) When we passed by Daraga hoping to see the Ruins with Mayon on the background, lady luck was still not on our side. So we decided to take a nap, which turned into a 3-hour sleep. When we woke up, we went to try some recommended eats in the city, most of them may not be cheap, but at least they were yummy.
Afterwards, it was Ligñon Hill for us and our quest to reach the top before 9 pm. I think we decided to hike up Ligñon Hill during the evening because it would be cooler and we hoped to see Albay city lights, but I have to admit I was in a bad shape then and had no more energy to finish the trail, so I just took this very blurry picture with my shaking legs and while catching my breath as a remembrance that we at least went to Ligñon Hill for the experience. LOL This is another wake up call.
In my case, I would recommend going to Ligñon Hill on a morning, since you could rent a habal-habal anyway to save time and effort in case you don't want to do any exhausting physical activity. And there are lots of things to do there; there's a zipline, paintball, exploration of Japanese Tunnels, and you can get a better view of Mayon during the day of course! We ended the day praying that tomorrow, we will be given the chance to at least have one decent picture of Mayon before we leave for Naga.
It was an early start again for us and Mayon was still in her beauty rest, pampered by the clouds. We still decided to push through with our plans and go to Cagsawa Ruins for that postcard view of the volcano, hoping that the weather will clear up as we reach the area. Unfortunately, even after breakfast and waiting there for almost three hours, more clouds loomed in and decided to hang around the volcano's vicinity. Even though it was not what we hoped for, we still took some pictures and paid respects for those who have lost their lives during the 1814 tragic eruption of Mayon. We decided to try our luck again later in the afternoon, on the meantime, we hoped on to a Ligao-bound jeep and took a breather at Kawa-Kawa Hill.
Being a popular area for tourists in Albay, the area is also jam-packed with stores selling souvenirs and whatnot. We were also offered to try an ATV tour, 1,500 pesos for three hours but we didn't have the extra moolah so it was a no for us. We've also heard some stories of foreign tourists who tried hiking up the volcano, this is an exciting way to see Mayon, but be sure to hire a guide and get the latest weather and PHIVOLCS updates.
By the time we passed by Daraga on our way back to Legazpi, Mayon was still shrouded with thick dark clouds, so we opted not to go back to the ruins and just spend some time at Peñaranda Park, a place that we always passed by during our first day but never really got to explore. This area is home to some of the province's most important buildings: Albay Provincial Capitol and Legazpi Cathedral.
Embarcadero was our last stop for the day. The building looked stylish and had a unique design but it was almost deserted and there were not much to do there aside from eating and zipline, which we didn't try because funds were running out. I took what was probably the best shot I could take from Daragang Mayon given that she was still covered in a veil of white clouds.
This just goes to say that not everything that you hoped and planned for will happen. Maybe this is not the right time for me to see the beauty of Mayon Volcano. :( However, I did not feel disappointed since I see this as an opportunity to visit Albay once again in the future.
Almost all jeepneys in Albay that I've seen pass by Daraga so it wouldn't be hard to hail one. Ask the driver to take you to Daraga Church, your landmark is a basketball court/recreational park. From there, look for a stairway that will take you to Daraga Church.
What we did was take a tricycle from Peñaranda Park since we got confused looking for the right jeepney to take. However, I believe the "Loop 2" jeepneys pass by the area, do confirm with the locals though since we were told that there is a time schedule for this route (when we were there, we were told that this jeep are only available until before 7PM).
Take a jeep headed for Daraga and ask to be alighted at Cagsawa Ruins, note that you can ride jeeps that have Legazpi-Camalig, Legazpi-Guinobatan, etc as these will also pass by the same highway. From there, you may take a tricycle to the entrance or walk. Walking may take around 10-20 minutes and entrance fee is 10 pesos.
If you are in Legazpi, most jeepneys headed for Daraga, Camalig, Ligao, Guinobatan, etc will pass by this park.
We were told that the "Daraga-Tahao Rd" jeepneys pass by Embarcadero, what we usually do is take a tricycle since fare is usually around 10 pesos only, especially if it's a "punuan" type of trike.


My husband loves mangoes in any form. One fine day while browsing through the grocery aisle, he found a Can of Alphonso Mango Pulp and couldn't resist the urge to buy it. After relishing almost half can of Mango Pulp, I decided to try out some Mango Pancakes with the remaining pulp. These Pancakes looked and tasted great. So here's an easy recipe for Mango Pancakes which all mango lovers should try.
Combine wheat flour, all purpose flour, sugar, cardamom/cinnamon powder and baking powder in a bowl.
Pour milk and mango pulp and mix well to form a smooth batter without lumps. Do not over mix the batter. Keep the batter aside for 10 minutes.
Heat a non stick griddle, skillet or flat pan and smear butter if required.
Pour around 1/2 cup of batter on to the griddle. Do not spread.
Cook on medium low heat for around 3-4 minutes until one side is done. You will see small bubbles appearing on top of the pancake when the first side is done. Flip over and cook the other side for another minute or two.
You can have these golden brown mango pancakes without any syrup as they are sweet. But you may go ahead and top it with Maple Syrup, Chocolate Syrup or any Syrup of your choice.
You can increase the quantity of Mango Pulp and decrease Milk for a stronger Mango flavor.
I tried these out at home n my husband liked it. However i used whole n ripe mangoes and smashed them up to form a pulp.The cooking time for each pancake is relatively longer compared to other pancakes.But it was defenately worth the time. Do post other pancake or crepe recipes as these are healthy snack options too.

Bollinger, Kate
Band: Kate Bollinger
EP: A Word Becomes A Sound
Label/Vertrieb: House Arrest / Fat Possum / Membran
Website: https://katebollinger.com
Kate Bollinger is an architect of chill vibes. Her soulful whisper recalls Feist, Maggie Rogers or maybe just a lo-fi Norah Jones." -The New York Times
"Kate Bollinger writes smart, melodic indie pop music. It makes for easy listening, but there's real insight in her lyrics. Dig deeper and you'll discover a thoughtful songwriter coming into her own." - NPR Music
"Pillowy and alluring" - Stereogum
For Kate Bollinger, knowing how to articulate exactly what she means would take a seemingly unattainable level of communicational prowess. Because of this, her nuanced songwriting gives listeners a framework within which they can project their own experiences. "It is rare that my words represent my thoughts accurately and even in the instances where I feel that they do, I know that I can't be responsible for the hearing of those words or for the interpretation of them," she explains. "Sometimes I write in a very specific way, but sometimes it is better to write only the skeleton."
From a young age, Bollinger turned to songwriting as a way of testing out ideas and stringing together words, perfecting them until they matched her intentions. Memories of her childhood in Charlottesville evoke melodies emanating from the stereo and experimental sounds leaking out of the basement, where her two older brothers recorded with their bands. Bollinger's mother, a music therapist, released a handful of children's albums, and she welcomed her daughter into the accompanying choir. Being a small part of an ensemble was freeing, and Bollinger went on to perform in local opera productions when she was still in elementary school. "I was shy when I was little and didn't want a speaking role, I just wanted to sing and be on stage," she recalls, laughing. "I still feel that way."
In adolescence, Bollinger absorbed a spectrum of genres that came to influence her future songwriting. On the family's CD rack it may have been possible to find pop icons of the early aughts stacked up against classics of her parents' generations. Feist soundtracked drives with dad, and Bollinger marvelled at the dexterity of those albums, the way they would move from a dance track to R&B to something spare and wholly unexpected. Taking inspiration from her siblings' musical projects, Bollinger began writing songs, and at 14, her brother Will helped her record one at home for the very first time.
From there, Bollinger started gigging around Charlottesville and eventually won free studio time in a local songwriting competition, but put off studio recording until years later when she had a backing band in place. Bollinger met her primary collaborator, John Trainum, while working on her cinematography degree at UVA. Once Bollinger had a collection she felt especially confident in, she booked her free day of recording and knocked out the songs that made up her EP, I Don't Wanna Lose, in a single day. The self-released collection presented Bollinger with new opportunities, like opening for Soccer Mommy in Richmond and hitting the road with Wild Nothing while she was still finishing her degree.
On August 21st, Bollinger will release her second EP A word becomes a sound. "I'm really happy with the way that I Don't Wanna Lose turned out, but everything was so new to me, so I didn't take things where they could have gone. Every song you hear is a live take and I was so excited to record the songs as I had written them, so there wasn't much in the way of production after the fact," Bollinger says. "When we recorded A word becomes a sound, I really pushed myself to actualize what I heard in my head." Recording the EP was hard-fought; the COVID-19 crisis hit before the band was able to finish, so Bollinger and Trainum were forced to complete the project under unprecedented circumstances. The resulting collection comprises five songs, all of which flit between sonic sensibilities, never once settling on a single sustained mood. Taking inspiration from pop, folk, jazz, and beat-driven experimentation, A word becomes a sound grounds itself in Bollinger's nimble voice, which fits a torrent of emotion inside of it. "My music has a really soft center and when I write I am finding a balance between something delicate and the darker feelings surrounding it," Bollinger says. "Many of my songs are about childhood, because I am lucky to have had a pretty idyllic one."
But what happens when childhood ends and the anxieties of adulthood come to dominate a once-carefree mind? "My songs, and the sadness in them, comes from reflecting on an easier time." You can hear that sentiment especially well on lead single "A Couple Things," which is the oldest song on the EP and has been a part of Bollinger's live repertoire since 2018. It finds Bollinger steeped in shifting familial and interpersonal dynamics over a bed of breezy instrumentation. "You always took care of all my baggage/ It's hard now it's somethin' I gotta do," she sings. Bollinger describes "Feel Like Doing Nothing" as a dream pop song, one that was written in close collaboration with Trainum and is unlike anything she's recorded before. Its lyrics yearn for a respite from the weight of responsibility, coalescing with the moody, R&B imbued "Grey Skies," a song that provokes a sense of ease though it contemplates the inevitability of oncoming sorrow.
"I try to write in a way that leaves each song open to interpretation because I want people to hear their own relationships reflected back at them when they listen to my music," Bollinger says. She has described it as a collaborative coloring book, a series of outlines waiting to be filled in by a listener's experiences. To that end, the EP's title track, "A word becomes a sound" produces a lens to read the collection through. It was inspired by Vladimir Nabokov's short story "Terror," in which a man slowly begins to disassociate from his surroundings. Eventually, words lose their meaning entirely. A house is no longer a "house." A tree is no longer a "tree." The "self" becomes something spectral and impossible to define, deferential to the porous boundaries of the world. On A word becomes a sound, Bollinger harnesses that sensation of terrifying and enlivening free-fall.

Finger Lakes Donor Recovery Network > Organ Donation and Organ Transplant Stories > How Ali Received a New Liver — and How Her Grandmother Christine Would Be a Liver Donor and Honored at the Rose Parade
How Ali Received a New Liver — and How Her Grandmother Christine Would Be a Liver Donor and Honored at the Rose Parade
Molly deRoos's daughter Ali received a liver transplant at age 11. Six years later, the family would be presented with the option of giving back: Christine Springer, Molly's mother and Ali's grandmother, became a liver donor. Subsequently, Christine was honored at the 2014 Rose Parade.
Liver transplant recipient Ali Brown, left, with her mother Molly deRoos
After getting a liver transplant at age 11, Ali Brown wanted to know one thing from her mother Molly deRoos of Ithaca.
"Is this what it feels like to not itch?"
Molly said that Ali, who had been born with a liver defect called Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis, itched from the day she was born until the day of her transplant. Itching is just one of the awful symptoms of liver disease that both children and adults suffer. But Ali was also severely jaundiced and the disease prevented her body from absorbing fat, so she failed to thrive and grow.
"Because of the itching, she never slept through the night until her transplant. Despite that, she was always a very happy girl. She'd get up every morning and go to school with a smile on her face, " says Molly.
When I woke I remember immediately noticing that my skin and eyes were no longer jaundiced or yellow and I didn't itch at all. It was amazing. — Ali Brown
It wasn't until she was age nine that she was actually diagnosed and the prognosis was clear – Ali's disease would get progressively worse and she would die without a liver transplant. Ali was eventually listed for a transplant through the Cincinnati Children's Hospital and Medical Center. After a six-month wait and one false alarm, they got the call. A 13-year-old from the Midwest had died and the liver was a match for Ali. The transplant was a success and the changes almost instantaneous.
"When I woke I remember immediately noticing that my skin and eyes were no longer jaundiced or yellow and I didn't itch at all. It was amazing, " says Ali.
Today, Ali is 20, healthy and a junior at the University of New York in Oneata where she is double majoring in art and geography.
But the story didn't end with Ali's transplant.
The Decision to Give Back
Six years after the transplant her grandmother Christine Springer – Molly's mother – suffered a stroke and was declared brain dead.
Liver donor Christine Springer, who was honored at the 2014 Rose Parade.
A resident of the Village of Trumansburg, NY, Christine had served for many years as a judge in the town of Ulysses and was a pillar of the community. She mentored many young people, conducted marriages, as well as sent people to jail. The latter she did by the law but often with the admonishment of a caring mom trying to guide the convicted on a straighter path, according to Molly.
At Cayuga Medical Center where Christine, age 71, had been rushed after her stroke, there was no question in the minds of Molly or the rest of her family when the brain death prognosis was presented and the subject of organ donation broached. Molly and her sisters Robin Springer and Kate Springer made the decision to donate their mother's organs.
"Because of the gift Ali received and our transplant experience, it was understood. My mom had also said 'If the time comes, tell them to take whatever they can use,' " says Molly.
Christine was able to donate her liver and save the life of a 61-year-old New York man. About a year after Christine's death, Molly received a thank you card from the liver transplant recipient.
"He expressed how grateful he was, that he had been waiting and waiting and knew that his time was short," says Molly. "It gave me goose bumps to read those words, because it was all the same things that we had experienced and felt with Ali's transplant."
Christine Honored at 2014 Rose Parade
Of the donors who were honored on January 1, 2014 at the Rose Parade featuring the Donate Life Float, Christine Springer was the the oldest. Christine was 71 when she became a liver donor after a lifetime filled with family and memories.
Molly and her daughter Ali Brown remembered and honored Christine with one of the memorial floragraphs at the parade.
Finger Lakes Donor Recovery Network was pleased to sponsor the tribute to Christine.

WASHINGTON – The U.S Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration is extending the public comment period for an additional 47 days on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Occupational Exposure to Crystalline Silica.
In response to requests for an extension, the deadline to submit written comments and testimony is being extended from Dec. 11, 2013, to Jan. 27, 2014, to allow stakeholders additional time to comment on the proposed rule and supporting analyses.
OSHA is also extending the deadline to submit notices of intention to appear at its informal public hearings by an additional 30 days, from Nov. 12, 2013, to Dec. 12, 2013. Public hearings are scheduled to begin on March 18, 2014. The duration of the hearings will be determined by the number of parties who request to appear. The hearings are expected to continue for several weeks.
The notice of proposed rulemaking was published in the Federal Register on Sept. 12, 2013. The proposed rule was made available to the public on OSHA's website Aug. 23, 2013.
"We strongly encourage the public to assist in the process of developing a final rule by submitting written comments and participating in public hearings," said Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health Dr. David Michaels. "We especially hope to hear from employers, workers and public health professionals who have experience in successfully protecting workers from silica-related diseases. We are extending the comment period to ensure we hear from all stakeholders who wish to participate."
The extended comment period and public hearings will be followed with a post-hearing comment period. Members of the public who filed a timely written notice of intention to appear will be able to submit post-hearing comments to the docket.
Additional information on the proposed rule, including five fact sheets and procedures for submitting written comments and participating in public hearings, is available at http://www.osha.gov/silica/. Members of the public may comment on the proposal by visiting http://www.regulations.gov.
Silica exposure an increased risk for lung cancer?
A newly published study of a large population of Chinese tin and pottery workers has found that exposure to airborne silica dust is associated with a significant increase in the risk of developing lung cancer. The study, printed in the American Journal of Epidemiology, measured cumulative silica exposure in a group of more than 30,000 workers over a 44-year period. These findings, which confirm that silica is a human carcinogen, are consistent with the preliminary risk assessment in OSHA's new proposed rule to protect workers from occupational exposure to crystalline silica, and have important implications for public health. Read more about the AJOE study here.
OSHA invites and strongly encourages the public to participate in the process of developing a final silica rule through written comments and participation in public hearings. You may read the notice of proposed rulemaking, by visiting https://federalregister.gov/a/2013-20997.
Would the use of high visibility warning stripes placed on the decking during construction and subsequent use of permanent pavement markings in conjunction with training and enforcement meet the requirements for protection of workers having to walk and/or travel along decks between the offset markings when the edges are protected with a finished 32 inch high barrier wall?
No. Using a 32" high concrete barrier to serve as a guardrail to protect employees doesn't comply with minimum top edge requirement of the guardrail system to be 42 inches high plus or minus 3 inches.
The fabricated plywood saddle system described in your letter is one of many systems that can be used. On May 10, 2013, we briefly discussed alternatives such as c-clamp guardrail systems that are easily transportable and available for rent. We also discussed OSHA's alternative uses of warning line systems meeting the requirements defined in 29 CFR 1926.502(f)(2) providing it's use maintains a "no entry" 15 foot setback from an edge or hole 6 feet or more above a lower level. You indicated that your employees would need to work within the 15 foot restriction and thus a warning line system would be infeasible. See the attached Letter of Interpretation. This letter can also be found on OSHA's website at the following link: http://www.oshainterpretations.com/1926_Safety_and_Health_Regulations_for_Construction/?url=/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=INTERPRETATIONS~p_id=24802&n=Fall%20protection%20non-conforming%20guardrail%20criteria%20for%20application%20of%20a%20de%20minimis%20policy.
Thank you for your interest on occupational safety and health. We hope you find this information helpful. OSHA requirements are set by statute, standards, and regulations. Our interpretation letters explain these requirements and how they apply to particular circumstances, but they cannot create additional employer obligations. This letter constitutes OSHA's interpretation of the requirements discussed. Note that our enforcement guidance may be affected by changes to OSHA rules. Also, from time to time we update our guidance in response to new information. To keep apprised of such development, you can consult OSHA's website at www.osha.gov. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact the Directorate of Construction at 202 693-2020.
Falls account for one third of all work-related deaths in the construction industry. In 2010, there were 264 fall fatalities (255 falls to lower level) out of 774 total fatalities in construction. Of those deaths from falls, 90 were from roofs, 68 from ladders and 37 from scaffolds.
PLAN ahead to get the job done safely - When working at height, employers must plan projects to ensure the job is done safely. Begin by doing a risk assessment. This involves taking a close look at the jobsite, potential hazards and how they relate to the work being done. It's important to decide how the job will be done, what tasks will be involved, and whatsafety equipment will be needed to complete each task.
When estimating the cost of a job, employers should include safety equipment, and plan to have all the necessary equipment and tools available at the construction site. Think about all of the different fall hazards, and then plan and select fall protection suitable to that work, such as personal fall arrest systems (PFAS).
PROVIDE the right equipment - Workers who are six feet or more above lower levels are at risk for serious injury or death if they should fall. To protect them, employers must provide fall protection and the right equipment for the job whether it's powered lifts, or scaffolds or ladders.
If workers use personal fall arrest systems (PFAS), provide a harness for each worker who needs to tie off to the anchor. Make sure the PFAS fits, and regularly inspect all fall protection equipment to ensure it's still in good condition and safe to use.
TRAIN everyone to use the equipment safely - Falls can be prevented when workers understand proper set-up and safe use of equipment, so they need training on the specific equipment they will use to complete the job. Employers must train workers in hazard recognition and in the care and safe use of lift equipment and fall protection systems.
OSHA offers numerous materials and resources that employers can use during toolbox talks to train workers on safe practices to avoid falls in construction. Falls can be prevented and lives can be saved through three simple steps: Plan, Provide and Train.
At this year's National Safety Council Congress and Expo in Chicago, OSHA released its Top 10 OSHA Violations for fiscal year 2013 (October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013).

The Two-Way Special Relationship Between the UK and Missouri
Earlier this week, British Consul General Stephen Bridges visited Missouri to further strengthen the economic and political connections between the United Kingdom and Missouri. Speaking on the floor of the Missouri House of Representatives at the invitation of Speaker Richardson, the Consul General spoke of the 300-year history between Missouri and the UK, built on three pillars—business, politics and working together against common foes. He did also make mention of the rare occasions in the late 1700s and early 1800s when we didn't get along quite as well as we do today.
"The biggest foreign investor in the United States has been, is, and will continue to be the United Kingdom," Consul General Bridges told the assembled legislators.
In totality, the UK and the US have a multi-billion dollar trade and investment relationship with the UK listed by CBI as the top investor in the US economy. And every morning a million people in the UK get up and go to work for US companies, and a million people in the US get up, a few hours later, and go to work for UK companies.
In 2016, Missouri sent $302 million in goods to the UK. And the UK sent $340 million in goods back our way. In the services industry the relationship is even stronger. Missouri's services exports to the UK in 2015 totaled $818 million. This trade supports 8,300 jobs. Missouri is also home to about 150 companies that have British ownership, with more than 23,000 Missourians working for them every day. All in, there's a $1.12 billion annual investment by the UK in Missouri, making the UK Missouri's 4th largest export market in 2015.
CG Bridges and Governor Greitens
Missouri exports to the UK include computer equipment, pharmaceuticals and medicines, chemicals, metals and more. A small category, but an important one for me personally is wooden barrels used extensively in the production of Scotch. Coming the other way, beverages, machinery, chemicals, and electronics top the list of British exports to Missouri.
On the service side of the trade relationship, the $818 million in exports to the UK include travel, financial services, insurance and data services.
And in case you were wondering, some of the British companies that have set up shop in Missouri are AB Mauri (Associated British Foods), Bull Moose Tube (Caparo Industries), Thomson Reuters, The Weir Group, Amdocs, BP, Bunzl, GKN, Unilever and GlaxoSmithKline. And Missouri companies investing in the UK include Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Build-A-Bear, Cerner, Emerson, Energizer, H&R Block, Hallmark Cards, Reinsurance Group of America, and Stifel Financial.
The Missouri and UK economies partner to create a great trade and investment relationship that creates and supports jobs on both sides of the Pond. It truly is, as Sir Winston Churchill first claimed during his 1946 "Sinews of Peace" speech in Fulton, Missouri, a special relationship.
