My two weeks in Thailand were sunny, warm, fun, delicious, challenging, eye-opening, and all together, just what I needed. While it's always a little hard to be away from family and friends during the holidays, exploring a new – and awesome – country helped in abating my lonesomeness for home. The trip also came at a good time, when the grey days of Shimokita were slowly but surely wearing me down and the kerosene from my heater had taken up residence in my chest as a nasty cough. (Incidentally, this caused everyone to force masks on me whenever I entered a building. Funny, because it's true.)
Although there were certainly moments I wished that I had a companion to share in the absurdity, admiration, or humor of a situation, I definitely took to traveling alone like a fish to water. I got to do what I wanted, when I wanted, depending on how I felt. It was grand. I also came to realize that traveling, especially alone, in a foreign speaking country really requires one major thing on the part of the traveler: letting go. You have to be okay with not knowing exactly what's happening and why at any given time. This is a hard mental shift for someone like me, but probably a good exercise in character in the smaller scheme of travel and the bigger scheme of life.
Stepping off the plane into the December Bangkok heat felt like an August day in DC. Almost instantly, my whole body relaxed. No longer did I have to shiver myself warm. I found Bangkok to be beautiful, balmy, hectic, pungent, and colorful. My hotel was adequate and clean – in a convenient part of town, with a big open air restaurant for my complimentary breakfasts. I spent my time in Bangkok exploring mostly on foot or by way of the river and canal boat taxis – the Grand Palace, which houses the enormous gold reclining Buddha (I spent more time examining and admiring the minute paintings of the Buddha's life covering the 30 foot walls floor-to-ceiling); Wat Arun, a rather phallic temple on the far side of the river nestled in sparkling mosaic tiles; the Chatuchuk Weekend Market, an incredible maze of shops and stalls, grouped together based on wares (pet supplies, fake flowers, electronics, young designers, Thailand tourist tchotchkes); the midnight Flower Market, heaps and heaps of the most kaleidescopic wholesale floral displays; the ultra-modern and sleek downtown, centered around high-rise consumer-driven shopping malls and a convenient above-ground Sky Train system; China town; a refreshingly ungentrified China town, streets so packed with open-air food vendors and tables that the traffic nearly stops. And the food! Oh, the food!
The street food was by far the best bet no matter where I was in Thailand. Red and green and yellow curries; wide chewy rice noodles; slippery vermicelli noodles; spicy chicken and pork soups that you could pile high with fresh vegetables and herbs (wing beans, cucumbers, bean sprouts, pickled cabbage, dill, basil, mint…) – beware the offal and chicken feet version, though…; papaya salads; mango sticky rice; all manners of protein on sticks; little, sweet coconut milk pancakes topped with corn or chocolate. There were fruit vendors on every corner hawking all sorts of exotic fruits (from delicious mangoes to durian to rambutan and tamarinds). Thailand, it turns out, is a gourmand's heaven. Especially after the relatively spice-less Japanese diet, some heat did my taste buds good.
From Bangkok, I traveled south via Krabi to Ko Phi-Phi, the island famous for hosting Leonardo DiCaprio and his movie "The Beach." Ko Phi-Phi was certainly breathtaking, but was far too touristy and resort-filled for my tastes. While I will admit that I, too, was a tourist in Thailand, there are many different breeds of tourist, and the one I found in Ko Phi-Phi smacked of Spring Break Cancun 2009! In all, not my thing, and though I had a great time meeting up with a couple pals from Japan who were also there at the time, I could've skipped it altogether in favor of the next spot on my trip.
Back on the mainland, I traveled to Ton Sai Beach, a section of Rai Leh peninsula, only accessible by a 10 minute long-tail boat ride from a neighboring town. I found Ton Sai to be everything that Phi-Phi was not. In fact, even arriving at dusk, after a hectic and round-about day of travel with an increasingly heavy pack on my back, I could breathe a sigh of relief. Where Phi-Phi was paved streets, neon tourist shops and sleek Swedish restaurants, Ton Sai was sandy paths from the beach into the mosquito-filled interior, delicious and cheap cart food, and quiet bungalows nestled among the hills. My cabin was up the mountain, with a fan purring on the ceiling, bats cooing under the eaves at night, and little green geckos slurping around the walls. The view from my balcony was that of jungles and cliffs and deep blue sky. Ton Sai was literally dripping with climbers. With more than a hundred set routes all over the peninsula, it's a rock climber's wet dream. Many of the other travelers I met were there for several months, at least, climbing every day, relaxing at night. I found it easy to find people willing to trade belays and meet for some morning beach yoga sessions – both of which satisfied some goals I had for my trip. And, in the end, I'm glad I spent New Year's listening to reggae-ton and oldies at a bar at the beach, watching beautiful paper white lanterns filled with kerosene heat and wishes float off into the ether, rather than being assaulted by electronica and glow sticks at Phi-Phi.
Hesitant to leave, my next stop was Khao Lak, Thailand, a beach town on the north west of Thailand's southern leg. Mostly used as a jump-off point for scuba diving trips into the Surin or Similan National Park Islands (candidates for UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site status), that was exactly what I did, making good use of the PADI license I earned forever ago. I joined a 3-day, 3-night live-aboard trip into the Surins. Unfortunately, I damaged my ear on one of the first dives, and could only do half of the 9 total dives, unable to get down to even 10 to 15 of the 30 meters max we were diving. The dives that I did partake in, though, were breathtaking – all sorts of fishies (the parrot fish are my favorite), nudibranches, shrimps, bulging-eyed stingrays, tons of graceful turtles, jelly-fish, and reef sharks. Every dive was followed by a delicious Thai meal cooked by the Thai staff on the boat, maybe some beach time on one of the pristine islands, or some relaxing boat time, reading and swaying in the waves. Pretty rough life.
I was impressed at my own planning and forethought, too, to realize that the nicest and cushiest accommodation I'd booked during the whole trip (at a whopping 34USD!) was right after my return to shore, after several days of sea-water bathing and a rocking cabin. (Though, the night I slept on the top deck under the stars beat any hotel room I had the entire time!) The comfort was short-lived, however, as I soon found myself on a creaking and cranky 12 hour, 2nd class night bus to Bangkok, 24 hours after arriving on dry land. (One of the most convenient things about being a small and flexible person is the ease with which I can get comfy curled up in even the most uncomfortable scenarios. And the fact that big things, obviously, come in small packages.)
Bangkok Round II was mostly a wrap up of last minute gift shopping and of checking off the list some stuff I ran out of time for the first visit. I ended my Thailand adventure with a delicious dinner at an unassuming, hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant, and a $6 ticket into a stadium-seating, Dolby surround sound, HD Sherlock Holmes movie (the first new movie I've seen since July) on the 1oth floor of some high-rise mall. And, in typical Thai fashion, seamlessly blending the ultra-modern with patriotic history and culture, we stood as the national anthem played over a montage of His Highness, King Bhumibol Adulyadej.

Napoleon Bonaparte maximized his attempts to deceive the Egyptians of his love to the Muslims and the Ottoman Sultan, hiding his arrogant and criminal secularism, Christian at heart with love for Zionism.He tried to pass the scholars with his secular ideas by requesting them to wear the French emblem. But the scholars refused.
Napolean placed one of his palliums on the shoulder of Sheikh Sharqawi and Sheikh threw it on the ground.The translator of Napolean said "Oh scholars, He came to like you.He wish to honour you with his clothes and emblem.If you wear this, the army and people will honour you and you will hold position in their eyes".
They replied," However our status with Allah and fellow Muslims will be lost".
Napolean was enraged by these words.

Milk and cookies.
I think I've perfected my vegan gluten free cookie recipe. I made them for Matt yesterday, he's on his last week of writing his thesis so I thought he needed a treat, and he liked them so much he had me in the kitchen again today. Right where I belong, amiright? Matt's the vegan in the house and I don't drink much milk, but we had some in the house from when Matt's family were visiting on the weekend, so it was the perfect opportunity to indulge in some milk and cookies.
Sugar overload.
As with all my recipes they're vegan and gluten free, but you can substitute in the real stuff if you wish!
Peanut butter and choc chip cookies.
125g margarine.
3/4 cup brown sugar.
1/4 cup raw sugar.
1 3/4 cups gluten free flour (orgran).
1 egg substitute (orgran 'no-egg').
2 tsp baking powder (only one if you're using plain wheat flour).
1/2 tsp baking soda.
Tbsp apple cider vinegar.
1 tsp cinnamon.
pinch of salt.
1/2 cup peanut butter.
100g choc chips.
Splash of soy milk.
Cream the margarine and sugar together, then mix in everything else. Add only just enough soy milk to bring the mix together, you probably won't need it if you use a real egg. Roll into teaspoon sized balls and bake at 190 degrees Celsius for 12-15 minutes. They'll be soft when you take them out of the oven so leave them for a couple of minutes then transfer them to a cooling rack. Try not to eat too many, but make you sure you grab a couple straight out of the oven, so gooey and good!
Now it's time for some more milk and cookies me thinks! Not too many though, Daisy is watching. And judging.

Oh the weather outside is frightful… No seriously, it's frightful out there and I just don't want to go out there. But sadly I have to on a daily basis to get to and from work, and since I don't drive it makes the commute even worse. For those of you who don't know, here in southern Ontario and many parts of Canada and the USA, we were in quite a bit of a cold snap, making todays high of -10 C a nice break from the -29 C. Not only did we get the cold snap, we got a full on polar vortex which in turn launched a viral video war of people tossing freshly boiled kettles of water in the air to watch the water instantly turn into mist. It's pretty awesome and I am quite sad that I didn't try it, but it came and went and came and went again, and when it went it brought in tons, and I mean TONS of snow. Here, have a look at my driveway after a few days of this white fluffy stuff.
It has been a pain in the butt keeping up with it, considering that there are several layers of ice throughout it making it difficult to shovel. After the last dumping we had, I ended up out there shoveling for about an hour and because the plow had come by it made it worse. Thus causing me a lot of pain in my shoulders, which have had multiple injuries to them. Seems I need to invest in a snow blower to make my life easier. But now I am just rambling. The real reason for this post is my lack of inspiration these last few days.
After picking up my needles and yarn and working out this amazing infinity scarf, which by the way is finished! WOOT! (Pictures to follow) I sat and looked around and for once did not have any clue what I wanted to get my hands into next. So not only am I sore but I am sitting idly at home re-watching Breaking Bad. I needed to get back on my resolution to stay organized and to get back to being creative and get things going with my shop again.
So I returned to work, which by the way is a dollar store, and began looking at all the stock in my section. Now here's the thing, I take care of the stationary, frames, artificial flowers and of course, the craft section. This could always be a bad thing. I get first look at all the new stock, and ideas were usually running through my head like no tomorrow. But not today. Today I stood and pondered what I could do and still came up empty. Until I found this…
Sorry the image is sideways, the downside to using my phone to take pictures. (I do need to use my actual camera more often) This book is amazing, and it has spiked some very good inspiration. With sections for the home, seasonal, knitting and crochet and much much more I couldn't go wrong for only $3! So tonight i will sit and flip through this lovely find and figure out where I go from here.
So please, tell me my fellow crafters and shop owners alike, where do you draw your inspiration from? Where do you turn to in times like this when you are at a black in the road? I would love to hear them!
–Now as promised the finished product–
I think I may whip a few of these up for the shop next winter!

Breast milk collection shells for leakage - any tips?(24 Posts)
My DD is five weeks old and while I'm not planning to express or bottle feed expressed breast milk for another three weeks, I would like to start saving some of the copious amounts of milk I'm currently leaking. I've bought the collection shell things you put in your bra and it says to only collect the from one breast when you're feeding from the other. I was planning to collect the proceeds in a single bottle over the course of a day or two and then freeze. Is it ok to top up and mix milk from breasts like this? What happens about fore and hind etc? Any thoughts/tips/advice?
Hi, I tried these shell things but never had much success - what seemed like loads when it was leaking never looked much when I collected it! I would freeze just what you collect on one day - not leave it hanging around in fridge for too long. I used to chill each lot of milk and mix when all cold rather than adding warm to cold IYSWIM. Have you got those bag things? I found them useful - doesn't take much freezer space for a few ozs at a time then!
Maybe it would be worth gently starting expressing a little so you'll get leakage plus some, to start building a stock in freezer and also increasing milk supply slightly. I tended to express from one side whilst feeding from other so there would have been a mix of fore and hind anyway.
I used to do that. I'd keep a bottle in the fridge and add to it through the day, then pop it in the freezer each night. The fore/hind milk thing isn't too much of an issue as I guess he's still feeding pretty frequently so you will have some hindmilk there. I used to put the shell in one side, feed off the other, then swap it over if he wanted both sides. It's an easy way of having a bit of spare in the freezer, just in case.
I also used to wear them in between feeds when I was at home, and emptied them whenever I remembered.
I get as much as 1oz leakage in mine from the side i'm not feeding off. You should only collect it in one bottle for 24hrs at most tho, no longer than that
I freeze small amounts of milk and then add the next lot to the already frozen milk and so on until I have enough in one bottle for a full feed. It tends to look like one of those rocket lollies with layers (but white... My hv said this was fine and my dd is ok!!
I am lucky in the fact that I have lots of milk so was sometimes easier just to put a pyrex jug under the other nipple when feeding. TBH if you are leaking a lot put firm pressure on the nipple to stop the milk leaking from the other side. This was the only way I managed to regulate the milk without flooding everywhere the whole time
Forgot to say you need to sterilize the shells IMO
I get about half an oz at a time - when I don't forget I'm wearing them and bend over gushing everywhere! They do recommend you only store the stuff you get when feeding.
They're really good for relieving engorgement as well, if you get it in the night.
And they look so sexy!!
Wow, thanks for swift responses!
Dilbertina -no, what bags and where do I get (or is it Mothercare or v obvious?) Was advised at breastfeeding workshop not to express for first eight weeks while things get up and running - do you think it would be ok before then? Also DD feeds so incredibly constantly, I'm not sure I've got any spare. She often feeds from both breasts and can go on for hours, e.g. this evening has been feeding with only 15 min breaks since about six o'clock!
Balletmum - hi again - how many days worth of leakage does it take for you to fill a bottle?
You can get bags from Boots iirc they're £7.99
But you do get loads
Now that my dd is fourteen weeks my supply has settled down so I tend to express/leak 1 oz each day and fill up 4 oz bottles. Then I've got some ready when I go out. I find if I express more I then have too much milk leaking again. Good luck!!!
Balletmum - snap, my DS was 14 weeks last Friday! How are you finding it? If you're interested, we have an April postnatal group, or are you in one of the others?
My Hv told me it was ok to put collected milk from different feeds in the same bottle as long as it was either used or frozen within 24 hrs of the first amount being put in. I always fed ds from both breasts and always used the collection shells as I leaked anything from 1 - 3 ozs from the breast I fed from 2nd. There was still milk available in the 2nd breast for ds though. I found this was a very effective way of getting a large stock of frozen milk.
The best cups I found for me were made by Chicco (I bought them in boots) but they were called sheilds I think. They were big so could collect a lot of milk, but had ventilation holes at the top so I had to be careful when emptying them not to let the milk leak out the holes.
I also tried Avent collection cups, but didn't get on with these. They were very small, I seemed to leak milk out from underneath them as they didn't fit the contour of my breast very well, and they were very hard and uncomfortable.
I reccomend collection cups to everyone who asks me about bf because they worked for me and they were so much easier than expressing.
Thanks Katy44, am not on any other groups as quite new to mumsnet. Where do I find it??? Wouldn't know where to start!!
I used a collection cup on one side whilst feeding from the other, from day one. I only used to leak half an ounce or so each feed but then ds2 fed so often that I would have enough each evening for dp to give him a bottle feed of expressed milk while I spent some nice time putting ds1 to bed etc.
The ladies who work for our local BF support group said you can keep a container in the fridge and just keep adding bits of milk to it all day. But only for one day, then you have to use it/freeze it and start a new container.
My 'shells' were just boots own and as only the nipple goes into them they must fit everyone - I found the avent ones useless.
oh dear, I;ve bought avent ones and opened them tho not yet used. those of you that give your lo a bottle, when did you start and do you think it's true that it's best to wait till 8 weeks?and do you recommend particular bottles? again, i've bought avent but not yet o;pened so could potentially change.
I used avent with ds and found them fine. But only bf for three months and formula fed occassionally. With dd I am bf very successfully so not using bottles very often. I have the tommee tippee closer to nature ones which are fab. Really pleased with them and she takes from them no problem and then back to bf etc I used the avent breast shells and found them good so give them a go..!
Balletmum, come and join us on here, if you fancy it
I think I'd get quite a lot if only DD would come off the breast long enough for me to get the steriliser in the microwave... thanks for all your tips
I used to use these shells as I leaked a lot but they can be problematic. If you bend over it all pours out the top, i did they so many times a day it was silly and I was soaking even with expressing at the same time, eventually binned them and just expressed. there is nothing wrong with expressing when ever you feel ready. I expressed from day one practically. You could always freeze your expressed milk now if you want to start. It would be a more efficiant way that by using the shells.
thanks - if i expressed from one breast while she fed from other would i be depriving her as she often feeds from both? (she eats like a horse)
lailasmum - I found that, it's so annoying isn't it, when you feel the wet patch speading I've got myself into a routine now (when I do use them) of having a container ready to pour into after the feed.
You could express what is left. It may be she won't finish the second one.
Just another cup question - if I don't leak enough in one day (or two depending which route I go down) for a single feed, presumably I just defrost two bottles and either combine them or give them both. Sorry, probably stupid question but just want to check I'm doing it right!

Bent Thermoset Printed Circuit Boards

This is a process to construct a printed-circuit board, using a thermoset material such as epoxy-glass, in such a manner that the final laminate has a bend in it to a predetermined shape.
Bent Thermoset Printed Circuit Boards
This is a process to construct a printed-circuit board, using a thermoset material such as epoxy-glass, in such a manner that the final laminate has a bend in it to a predetermined shape.
Preferably a thin-face sheet, consisting of a copper foil with a dielectric less than 0.010'' thick, is fabricated and circuitized. The dielectric should be thin enough to permit bending without cracking.
The circuitized face sheet is then placed in a forming fixture and "B" stage prepreg is added to the dielectric side to achieve the required thickness.
The fixture is placed in a laminating press and formed with heat and pressure. The result is a circuitized bent printed-circuit board. Hole generation and shaping are done on the bent part.
Alternatively, a thick "B" stage/"C" stage face sheet process provides for circuitizing a thick laminate which is more easily processed. A copper clad one- sided thin-face sheet is fabricated. It is then laminated to a number of sheets of long-gel time "B" stage material using a short-heating cycle. The "B" stage material is advanced but still maintains "B" stage properties. The part is circuitized and placed in a forming fixture which bends the part and fully cures the material. Hole generation and milling can be done on the flat part.
Another thick "B" stage face sheet process is similar to the second process but a face sheet is not needed. The "B" stage material is laminated to copper foil using a shor...

Fact vs Fiction: Babylon 5 vs History Channel
Here's an excerpt from a rather good blog written by someone called Scott…
"As I mentioned in my last entry, I've been watching Babylon 5 lately. It's not a perfect show, but it has one big advantage: it's consistent and believable.
Contrast this with Doctor Who. Doctor Who is fun to watch, but if you think about it for more than two seconds you notice it's full of plot holes and contradictions. Things that cause time travel paradoxes that threaten to destroy the universe one episode go without a hitch the next. And the TARDIS, the sonic screwdriver, and the Doctor's biology gain completely different powers no one's ever alluded to depending on the situation. The aliens are hysterically unlikely, often without motives or believable science, the characters will do any old insane thing when it makes the plot slightly more interesting, and everything has either a self-destruct button or an easily findable secret weakness that it takes no efforts to defend against.
But I guess I'm not complaining. If the show was believable, the Doctor would have gotten killed the first time he decided to take on a massive superadvanced alien invasion force by walking right up to them openly with no weapons and no plan. And then they would have had to cancel the show, and then I would lose my chance to look at the pretty actress who plays Amy Pond.
So Doctor Who is not a complete loss. But then there are some shows that go completely beyond the pale of enjoyability, until they become nothing more than overwritten collections of tropes impossible to watch without groaning.
I think the worst offender here is the History Channel and all their programs on the so-called "World War II".
Let's start with the bad guys. Battalions of stormtroopers dressed in all black, check. Secret police, check. Determination to brutally kill everyone who doesn't look like them, check. Leader with a tiny villain mustache and a tendency to go into apopleptic rage when he doesn't get his way, check. All this from a country that was ordinary, believable, and dare I say it sometimes even sympathetic in previous seasons.
I wouldn't even mind the lack of originality if they weren't so heavy-handed about it. Apparently we're supposed to believe that in the middle of the war the Germans attacked their allies the Russians, starting an unwinnable conflict on two fronts, just to show how sneaky and untrustworthy they could be? And that they diverted all their resources to use in making ever bigger and scarier death camps, even in the middle of a huge war? Real people just aren't that evil. And that's not even counting the part where as soon as the plot requires it, they instantly forget about all the racism nonsense and become best buddies with the definitely non-Aryan Japanese."

AMAZING! They did such a great job watching my dog Sparkle. Sparkle does not take very well to other people but she warmed up very quickly. I received daily updates about sparkle and how she was doing along with pictures. I can honestly say these two are great at what they do and I will definitely be booking with them again!
We loved having Justin and Maggie take care of our babies! They were extremely responsive and had pictures for every visit. I could truly tell that my dogs were very comfortable and enjoyed having Justin and Maggie take care of them. We will definitely be using them again!!
These two were awesome! They watched our two fur babies for the weekend doing drop in visits. The pups loved them and so did we! Will definitely use them again!
Justin & Maggie's Canine Clients
About Justin & Maggie
Plenty of room and love to share!
Me and my brother, Justin, are working together to build a great place for pets and their owners to feel safe and have fun! Justin is home full time for walks and play during the day, and we are both home nights and weekends. We love to drop in for playing, feeding, and potty breaks during the day or keep your babies overnight. We both love animals and have spent many years caring for lots ...
What Justin & Maggie would like to know about your dog
I would love to know your pet's gender, shot records, and temperament. We love dogs of all ages and size, but want to know what will make him/her most comfortable in our home!

Lisa Whelan has quit Yelping.
Well, it's not exactly breaking news, but she's got some great insights on the problems that exist with review sites. Lisa left a glowing review for her dentist. It was one of only two reviews for them. Then one day, she got a call from her dentist asking her why she removed her review and if they'd done something wrong. No, they hadn't. She went on a quest to find out why her review had been removed. After a few back and forths with Yelp, they still couldn't tell her, nor could they put it back. Apparently, her review had been spotted by some spam filter for some undisclosed violation and they just took it out.
And therein likes the problem. How do review sites serve up trusted relevant reviews without allowing people to game the system? There was a recent hubub Brideshead Revisited the movie (also at Yelp) when they booted an undisclosed number of users for being in an alleged gaming ring providing glowing reviews to each other within a womens' business network. It led to a class action lawsuit.
So how do you get around the problem of insincere reviews? I see three potential solutions. The first is increasing relevance by providing binary recommendations from people you already know and trust. It's not very "real world" to give something a one to five star review. Think about the last time you called a friend for a recommendation on where to go to eat and they told you to go to Golden Bowl Chinese restaurant and gave it a three star? Never. If you give a restaurant a three star review, would you tell your friends to go there or not? Recommendations from friends are usually binary. Either go here, or don't go here. Review sites need to simplify this process.
The second involves finding people you have something in common with in order to be able to evaluate their recommendations. Most review sites lump everyone together into a big pool of reviews. They try to back into relevancy based on the reviews you make. In effect, their hypothesis is that people who like the same things may be similar to each other and like their other reviews. I think they've got it backwards. My hypothesis is that people will like the same things if they already know that they have something in common.
Imagine if you could join a group of people based on affinity. Maybe you're all parents who need kid friendly restaurants. Maybe you're all executives who work in Palo Alto who take power lunches. Maybe you're all neighbors who frequent the same local places. In any case, if you can find people who you have some key thing in common with and then get opinions from them, your relevancy will increase. And because you've filtered these things based on whatever that affinity is before anyone does any reviewing, you'll have a greater degree of trust.
The third potential solution is context. People typically don't pick a service provider or store or restaurant in a vaccuum. They have a purpose such as "a nice place to take out of town guests," or a "fence contractor who specializes in wrought iron," or "a vet who is good with little dogs." Users need to be able to specify a context for their request in order to get the best recommendations back. By providing the context of their query, they'll be able to get back more specific, and therefore more relevant, results. The best vet in town might only work on Great Danes so he might not be the best choice for your chihuahua.
There will always be people who try to game the system. By addressing a few fundamental things about how recommendations work however, we can provide much more relevant results and reduce the impact of gamed reviews. Eventually, someone will get this right. And when they do, I think it will create huge opportunities for businesses to connect with their best customers in a much more meaningful way.

Catholic Communications, Sydney Archdiocese,
20 Feb 2015
In particular, NATSICC is concerned about Indigenous communities in remote Arnhem Land.
Strengthening to a Category 4 storm system before making landfall, Cyclone Lam crossed the mainland coast between Milingimbi and Elcho Islands at 2 am today, buffeting isolated island Indigenous communities, triggering wide spread power cuts and causing significant damage.
By late morning Cyclone Lam had been downgraded to a Category 2 system as it moves south west across Central Arnhem Land to Bulman, however the danger to residents including those living in the Australian mainland community of Ramingining were urged to remain in shelters until being given an all clear.
With heavy rainfall, violent winds and Cyclone Lam's storm surge creating massive tides along the coast, flood warnings have been issued for all low lying areas and to anyone living near the coastal rivers of Arnhem Land and Carpentaria.
"As many as 5000 people had been directly affected by the Cyclone," NATSICC spokesman Craig Arthur reported.
Meanwhile along the Queensland coast, Cyclone Marcia is creating havoc and weaving a path of destruction as it makes its way south, triggering massive swells, fierce winds with gusts of 285 kph and widespread flooding.
Upgraded to a Category 5 Cyclone Marcia crossed the coast near Shoalwater Bay at around 11 am this morning after destroying homes on Great Keppel Island.
By 2 pm the tropical cyclone had been downgraded to a Category 2 system but was still packing a powerful punch and raising fears that as Cyclone Marcia merges with another low pressure system on its journey south, that Brisbane will experience flooding of the same magnitude of the disastrous floods of 2010-2011 that swamped Queensland's capital city and left many homeless.
Updates of Cyclone Marcia and Cyclone Lam can be found by logging on to http://www.bom.gov.au/cyclone/

IOWA FALLS – An Iowa Falls man who was barred from handling guns because of convictions for attempted murder and attempted robbery has been sentenced to prison in connection with a rifle found hidden in his couch in June.
Judge Linda Reade sentenced Edward Ray Whitney, 39, to three years and five months in prison during a Tuesday hearing in U.S. District Court in Cedar Rapids. He will be on supervised release for three years following his prison time.
Whitney has prior convictions for attempted murder and attempted armed robbery from Louisiana in 1997, and a conviction for accessory to robbery after the fact in Pearl River County, Mississippi, in 2007, according to court records.
In June 2017, Whitney was living on Polk Street in Iowa Falls when police were called to a disturbance at his home. He was arrested for domestic abuse, and officers found a .22-caliber Remington Arm rifle, according to prosecutors.
State domestic abuse and firearms charges were later dropped, and Whitney was indicted on a charge of felon in possession of a firearm in federal court in August. He pleaded guilty in October.

Typical Memorial Day crowd today @ The Ridge. However, good vibe today! Band was on the money as usual. Here are some of the highlights:
- We talked about "Elimination" of a Lasting Legacy as we looked at Eli in 1 Samuel 2-4. Bottom line is if we are going to keep from being eliminated, like Eli, when it comes to a lasting legacy, we must fight for it. We also must be diligent and attentive and intervene in our kids lives when necessary. For more see the Pit Stop for today below.
- Gunnery Sargent Lyndon Smith, USMC Ret. opened the service with a Memorial Day tribute to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our nation's freedom.
- We recognized 5 high school graduates today @ The Ridge. Gave them two separate gifts. The first was a "College/Life Survival Kit" which included Raman Noodles (staple nutrition for all students), Red Bull (necessary to keep you awake & energized), Neosporin (which can cure any injury in life), and a roll of Duct Tape (which as everyone knows can be used to fix anything). The second gift was a little more serious. It included a special Graduate CD/DVD/CD-ROM and a copy of The Impact Leadership Bible. Proud of these kids…especially of my own daughter!
- Our printer printed the wrong worship handout and we didn't notice it until we were handing them out. All the announcments in there were from LAST WEEK. Very frustrating!
- One of our own, Brandon Deaton, is in Burkina Faso with a mission team from WestRidge Church. Pray for him and for his family while he is away. Another team from The Ridge will be going to Burkina in October. There still might be room if you are interested.
- We had our Partnership class today after our worship Gatherings today. Seven new members. Good group!
- I left the school after 3PM and went almost directly to my 7 year old son's end of year baseball party at Stars & Strikes. Left there and went straight to Stevi B's for my 13 year old son's birthday get together. Brought 6 boys back to my house for a campout. I hustled and put up the tent just before the rain started. hopefully it will stop for the rest of the evening. The boys are out playing with "airsoft" guns in the backyard in the dark & rain right now. typical guy stuff.
- Right now, I'm pretty beat! Glad I have tomorrow off…well sort of. I DO have a big list of projects and honey-dos for tomorrow.
- Here's the Pit Top for today:
Pit Stop #3
Read 1 Samuel 1-4
This week's Pit Stop on our topic is adapted from Warren Weirsbe's Expository Outlines On The Old Testament.
When it comes to a Legacy That Lasts…
1. We can never underestimate the power of sin in a family. Eli pampered his sons when they needed discipline instead. This eventually cost the family the priesthood, cost him his life and the lives of his sons. His legacy was elimnated.
- Is there anything of a sin nature that you have failed to pay attention to in your own life or your family? What are the potential long-term consequences?
2. We must never underestimate the power of prayer in a home. Hannah and Elkanah (see 1 Samuel 1) were people of prayer, and God answered their prayers. Because of the dedication and persistent prayers of Hannah, God gave the world Samuel, the last of Israel's judges and the first of the prophets for the nation.
- What was the last thing you prayed for as Hannah did in 1 Samuel? Have you continued to persistently pray or have you given up? Is it possible that God is waiting for you to earnestly, fervently seek Him more? Or is it possible that He has said "no" and you need to pray in a different direction?
3. We must not neglect the training of our children in spiritual things, undderstanding what a great responsibility God has given us. As parents and leaders, we should make it easy for children and young people to hear God's voice and respond in faith, because God does speak to them just as He did to Samuel. Eli did show some wisdom in realizing that God was calling young Samuel.
- What am I doing to facilitate my children hearing God speak to them? What was the last thing I remember God saying to me through His Word? What do I need to be doing to hear God more consistently?

hooked on sonnets.
So, I'm searching around print shops for one sketchy enough to photocopy multiple textboooks from cover to cover without breaking the spine, so I can return and get a refunds on em. Most places are like, "that's illegal! We can't do it, but If YOU would like to do it, go ahead". I'm not having it, so I head to this local print shop.
He says he'll do it no prob, super cheap, in a day. I'm happy it's over and turn around to walk out, and I see this 1970's organ (Lowrey Super Genie) sitting in the middle of this print/fax/computer shop. He goes on to tell me the story of the guy who wanted to ship it, but bailed cause he found out it would cost 4 bills to ship. Heavy shit.
He says, "if you can take it, it's yours". Truck, lift, pain, drive, lift, pain, carry, pain, drag, stubbed toe, pain, push, pain; done. It was worth it. Been tripping out ever since.
Speaking of tripping out, Self Help told me a wicked story about an incident at the Peanuts & Corn, Toolshed, and 'someone else' show in Toronto recently. The story goes: some their homies from London were down for the night and getting hella pissed. So, one friend starts distributing real hard smacks in the face to various friends, but totally out the blue; bamm. hahaha. You know, hurts, but kinda jokes among friends.
So this friend of Derek's, who I think I met once, gets to him and lays it to him....smack. Derek's intuition- he pushes him; totally natural. But, beacause his friend is so wasted he stumbles backwards and goes through the front window of the club. No one was hurt and the club and promoter came to an agreable settlement, so there is a happy ending.
Moral of the story:
You never know how wasted your friends are until you push them through a window and laugh about it after over drinks.
I heard Toolshed members side-project: Sequestrians. I was very impressed; extra nice. Where do I get a copy?

Booby Trap, conclusion
Posted by Charles Gray on June 24, 2011
The Dean's office was quiet, all dark wood from the local forests and subdued lighting. The pot on the desk projected a series of dancing, softly singing stars, the sorcery drawing the eye, and calming the spirit, at least according to those who sold such things.
Carla had heard that Dean William's enjoyed the perks of her office. Given what that office entailed, the teen didn't begrudge her that.
Right now, she was sitting on the couch, in deference to her healed, but still sore side, while there were two chairs, for Janice and Jake, and a place for Sora, the naga's coils nervously twitching. Next to Dean William's, Savastan stood, giving the three a cocked eye gaze that he normally reserved for whatever was on his plate at dinner.
"Well," Dean Williams said. "I have to congratulate you three. Most students simply complain about their assistant Dorm Supervisors. Few actually try to kill them."
"We did-" Jake fell silent as Williams' turned to face him. Her gray hair and old fashioned glasses, coupled with the legends (and true stories) about her deeds in the past gave her a very intimidating mien, even when she wasn't angry.
She's angry, Carla thought. She's very angry.
"Didn't what? Didn't bring an active magical artifact, that was neither examined nor passed by customs, into the school? Didn't activate it, thereby creating a situation that might have led to the deaths of your classmates– would have led to their deaths had not Carla kept her head, and had not Savant Savastan been passing by?" She paused, and Carla noticed that her knuckles were whitening where she was holding on to the side of her desk. "Is that what you were intending to say?"
"No ma'am," Jake said, in a barely audible voice.
"We didn't kno-" Janice said, and this time Savastan cut her off.
"You did not know? Obviously you did not realize what it was you had, that much is true," the Saurian said. Janice started to relax, but Savastan continued on, inexorably. "But you did not know it could be dangerous? I doubt that in the extreme. Every class reminds you that magic can be dangerous, and unlike most technology, spells can have conditions, even sentience, behind them, as can constructs and spirits. The first rule is, if you do not understand, you do not attempt to use. Even I would consult my colleagues before making such an attempt and I am far, far older than you are. There are ten thousand worlds and world like objects we know of personally, many, many more we have never encountered, all of them with their own traditions, own ways of doing things, own forms of magic….and traps. You knew this. You just didn't take it seriously." The Saurian bent down, the great scaled head inches from Janice's bloodless face. "There is a great difference between the two."
"And, you got off very easily." Williams said.
"I know." Jake replied, staring at the carpeted floor.
"I do not think you do." Williams shook her head. "If you think this is bad, imagine sitting in this same room, with Savastan and I…and Carla's parents as you told them how their daughter came to die."
None of the three said anything, but something that sounded suspiciously like a sniffle came from Jake or Janice. Sora was balled up so tightly Carla wondered how she could breath.
"Then of course there's the matter of the fellow you purchased it from. Wilson evidently thought you were going to show it to one of us– when the officers dropped by to pick him up, they ended up having to take him to the hospital."
"A minor attack of Angina," Savastan said. "He is, physically at least, fine, though obviously distraught at what might have happened."
"But yet another example of the consequences of your actions, to say nothing of any possible legal consequences against him, because the book was unlicensed," Williams added. "But now I need to know what to do with you three. I've got the call board going insane with demands you be expelled."
"I-No ma'm, please!" That last brought Sora out of her ball. "I'm the first to go to school and my-I'll do anything."
"An unwise offer," Savastan told her.
Sora looked up at him and wrapped her four arms around her body, "I say it with my name, I say it three times."
"Ah." The saurian looked at her for a moment, then dipped his head. "Wise or Unwise, it has been said, three times. I accept for my part." At that, Sora went right back into her ball, quivering.
"Dean Williams?" Carla finally decided to speak. "Since I'm the one who might have been killed, do I get anything to say?"
"We always get something to say, Ms. Stevens, whether others listen to it is the question."
"Very true, sadly," Savastan said, eyes crinkling with amusement.
"They didn't intend to hurt anyone," Carla said and seeing the beginnings of a retort forming, pressed on, "but they did and they need to be punished." With that, Williams leaned back in her chair and gestured at Carla to continue. "If they get expelled, it won't really be a lesson. If they stay, they can be…" Carla smiled, "an object lesson like my dad would say."
"Now I'm interested," Williams commented. Savastan brought his hands together, networking his clawed fingers, and inclined his head at Carla.
Encouraged, Carla continued, "Even if you get contractors to fix the dorm, it's going to take a lot of work, and there will be lots of garbage and stuff that needs to be removed."
"They have classes."
"I-" Carla paused then forged forward. "Yes, but classes only take part of the day and then there are the rest days. I mean, it'd be hard, but if they want to stay-"
"We do!" three voices chorused.
Carla smiled. "Then I'm certain they could fit it in."
"Ur…" Savastan paused, looking at Sora. "Sora's work in mathematics is lagging. In order for this to work, she would need a tutor….I believe that your marks are quite high in that field, are they not, Ms. Stevens?"
Well, you didn't want them to get kicked out. "Yes sir, they are. I could help her, if she needed it."
"I am not… adverse to this, but of course," Savastan nodded at Williams, "the decision is not mine alone to make."
Williams leaned back and didn't say anything for a moment. Finally, she nodded, and spoke the three in front of her, "I agree…if you three work at this, and that means you work. Carla will give me daily and weekly reports as will the workmen at the site…and for your sakes, those reports had better be good. You're also on complete restriction until the work is finished. I don't want to see you out of your temporary housing when you're not at classes, study halls, or dining times…or working at whatever the clean up crews tell you to do. Do you understand?"
"Yes Ma'am!" three voices chorused.
"Good, now get out of my sight. The secretary will give you your temporary rooms."
"I-thank you!" Jake said as he got up.
"Sora?" Savastan said as the Naga started to uncoil and follow her friends.
"Yes sir?"
"You have said it three times, with your name, and I have accepted. Complete this task, to Carla'a and Dean Williams' satisfaction and I will hold your debt fulfilled."
"I- yes sir," Sora said, bowing her way out of the room.
"Now for you, young lady," Williams said as the door closed behind the three chastened students. "Have you ever heard of just running for help?"
"I didn't have much of a choice," Carla said. "It was heading for Jake."
"Logical. It wasn't a complex spirit construct, and it probably was designed with the assumption that the most skilled individual would be the one opening it," Savastan mused.
"Regardless, you put yourself at grave risk for those students, and so far, we've just thanked you with more work." Dean Williams frowned. "There will probably be some form of award in your future, but we'll also be trying to play this down… I don't want to convince our students that a brave heart will see them through when in most cases it'll get them killed."
"I don't think it was a brave heart," Carla said. "More like a cornered one."
"The two often are very similar," Savastan replied. "I am more impressed at your intelligence. How do you intend to handle your three charges?"
"Well first I convince David not to kill them," Carla said.
"Ah, your consort," Savastan said.
Carla colored. "Err…boyfriend."
"If he kills them he'll answer to me," Williams told the other two. "But it certainly will be an interesting story to tell when he gets back from his field trip. But you haven't answered Savant Savastan's question."
"Well none of them are lazy," Carla said. "Jake will come up with some great idea to get the work done in half the time, and will really take twice as much effort, so I'll have to sit on him, but Janice and Sora won't be a problem."
"I agree with your reading of them," Williams answered. "You've been healed more or less, but would you like to eat in your room? I can have the staff bring it up to you, or would you prefer to bask in the glory of your fame?"
"I…. I'll eat in the cafeteria," Carla said.
"Good. You'd best hurry then." Carla nodded and got up. Just as she opened the door, Williams spoke, "And Carla?"
"Yes Dean?"
"A very good job."
"Ah-thank you," Carla said as she closed the door behind her.
The door closed, leaving the woman and saurian alone.
"So what do you think?" Williams finally said.
"She isn't the most skilled in my class," Savastan said, "not even among the top ten percent, in fact."
"She has common sense," the Saurian answered, "the ability to look at a course of action and decide if it makes sense and the willingness to abandon it if it doesn't, even if she might face embarrassment for doing so."
"We knew that before."
"But now we know how she reacts under real pressure." Savastan looked down onto the quad, crowded with students talking about the days excitement. "A test we never could have applied."
"Of course we couldn't have. It would have been utterly unethical."
"So let us use our good fortune. Three incautious students have been taught a valuable lesson that might save their lives, and one…well one has proven something we couldn't have learned any other way. She keeps her head, as you would say, when things get bad."
"Right. I'll let Hank know. We've got our team captain." Williams smiled and shook her head. "God help her."

Join us for a free book talk with Patrick O'Neill on his book "To Annoy or Destroy the Enemy" at 1:30 p.m.
Two hundred years have passed since the Potomac Squadron fought their way past the White House batteries, eclipsed by the burning of Washington and the bombarding of Fort McHenry. This book will reveal what history has forgotten; about America's first response to the attack on the nation's capital and the events that truly led to the penning of the Star Spangles Banner in what British naval historian William James wrote in 1837: Of the many expeditions up the bays and rivers of the United States during the late war, none equaled in brilliancy of execution that of the Potomac to Alexandria.Attachments

Our latest episode, Making Red Sauce, is up. Italian cook Vinny Pasceri shows us how to slow cook his versatile Sunday Gravy to use with pasta dishes like ziti, lasagna and manicotti. The meatiness of Sunday gravy separates it from other red sauces, like marinara.
Vinny grew up in a Long Island Italian-American family with a passion for cooking. His red sauce is influenced by all of the savory gravies his parents and grandparents simmered up during their family dinners every Sunday. Watching this video, I'm sure the history and passion will inspire you to build your own tradition of great food and family.
Here is a ziti recipe that I used the Sunday Gravy in. Although not normally a fan of the graininess of whole grain pastas, the texture is good in ziti, since it gets cooked twice.
Whole Wheat Baked Ziti
You will need:
- 1 lb whole wheat penne
- 4 cups Building Blocks Show Red Sauce
- 1 lb whole milk mozzarella, cubed
- 1 lb ricotta
- 1/2 cup pecorino romano
- 2 eggs
Put it together:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cook pasta until al dente and drain
- Mix eggs, mozzarella, ricotta, pecorino in a large bowl
- Add pasta and sauce to cheese mixture
- Put in pan(s)
- Optional – Add 1/2 lb sliced mozzarella on top
- Optional – Brown and mix in 1 lb ground Italian sausage
- Cover with foil and bake 50 minutes at 400 degrees F.
- Optional – Take foil off and brown 10 minutes

"I was focused, and goddammit I was angry. The Western world was continuing its head-in-the-sand policy of believing that Muslims could stand for something other than war and death, and once again were shown only war and death.
In my own sick way I want to thank Major Hassan for giving me back the hatred and anger that drives me. He did more for me last year than all the pills and shrinks could ever have accomplished on their own. He reminded me why I - as RightGirl - exist and why I must continue to maintain my blog and my fight."
If the reason you exist hinges on you blogging about how Muslims only stand for war and death, it's probably time to get back to your medication and therapy.

Customers lined up outside Chemical Bank in Rockville Center, New York, on September 2, 1969, to try their luck at the new one-armed bandit that was generously dispensing cash. They quickly realized that this was not a traditional slot machine finally making its way into New York. It was much more dependable at handing out its goodies than the gambling machine that had preceded it by a good 80 years. The new device was called an automated teller machine (ATM) or banking machine or cash machine. (In Britain, they call it a hole in the wall.) This new contraption did have one drawback; it required customers to have money in the bank in order to withdraw it.
A similar device had appeared in London a couple of years earlier, the brainchild of an inventor who, while soaking in the tub imagined a vending machine that dispensed cash instead of chocolate bars.
Today there are well over a million ATMs located in holes in the wall practically everywhere. In some places, they're conveniently right alongside one-armed bandits.
Folks can't carry around money in their pocket. They've got to go to an ATM machine, and they've got to pay a few dollars to get their own dollars out of the machine. Who ever thought you'd pay cash to get cash? That's where we've gotten to. — Bill Janklow
September 2, 1935
"I think the music is so marvelous, I don't believe I wrote it," said George Gershwin as he signed his name to the 700-page completed orchestral score of the opera, Porgy and Bess on September 2, 1935. Critics pretty much agreed, calling it the first and finest American opera.
In February 1934, George and Ira Gershwin along with DuBose and Dorothy Heyward began their collaboration on a libretto, songs, and music for DuBose Heyward's novel, Porgy, about African American life in the fictitious Catfish Row (based on the real-life Cabbage Row) in Charleston, South Carolina, in the early 1920s.
During the summer of 1934, Gershwin spent several weeks at the Heyward's beach cottage on Folly Island off the coast of Charleston, observing local customs and music, and joining in such rituals as "shouting" which involved rhythms created by hands and feet as accompaniment to spirituals.
The play opened at the end of September in Boston and early October in New York . The cast included the Juilliard-trained singers Anne Brown as Bess and Ruby Elzy as Serena; Todd Duncan, a Howard University music professor as Porgy; and vaudevillian John W. Bubbles as Sportin' Life. The music, a brilliant synthesis of jazz, blues, and folk elements, has found a permanent spot in the American folk and popular repertoire – "I've Got Plenty o' Nuttin'," "Bess, You is My Woman Now," "It Ain't Necessarily So," and "Summertime."
The play had a Washington D.C. run, during which Todd Duncan led the cast in a strike to protest the National Theater's segregation policy, saying they would never play in a theater that barred them from purchasing tickets to certain seats because of race. Theater management gave in to this demand and for the first time an integrated audience attended the National Theater.
West Coast engagements proved a financial disaster, and the play folded, languishing in the United States for many years, while remaining popular in Europe and the Soviet Union. A complete production was not mounted on an American stage again until 1976, when the Houston Grand Opera staged a critically acclaimed revival. In 1985, fifty years after its Broadway premier, the "folk opera" was performed by New York's Metropolitan Opera, and has since become a permanent fixture in the American opera repertoire.

Human-Like room segmentation for domestic cleaning robots
Fleer DR (2017)
Robotics 6(4): 35.
robotics-06-00035-v2.fleer.pdf 11.80 MB
Journal Article | Original Article | Published | English
Autonomous mobile robots have recently become a popular solution for automating cleaning tasks. In one application, the robot cleans a floor space by traversing and covering it completely. While fulfilling its task, such a robot may create a map of its surroundings. For domestic indoor environments, these maps often consist of rooms connected by passageways. Segmenting the map into these rooms has several uses, such as hierarchical planning of cleaning runs by the robot, or the definition of cleaning plans by the user. Especially in the latter application, the robot-generated room segmentation should match the human understanding of rooms. Here, we present a novel method that solves this problem for the graph of a topo-metric map: first, a classifier identifies those graph edges that cross a border between rooms. This classifier utilizes data from multiple robot sensors, such as obstacle measurements and camera images. Next, we attempt to segment the map at these room–border edges using graph clustering. By training the classifier on user-annotated data, this produces a human-like room segmentation. We optimize and test our method on numerous realistic maps generated by our cleaning-robot prototype and its simulated version. Overall, we find that our method produces more human-like room segmentations compared to mere graph clustering. However, unusual room borders that differ from the training data remain a challeng

Hiccup with 1st choice faith school(13 Posts)
We have been attending the church in the next village to us for two years. We were/are planning on moving to that village within the next couple of years. Also the church school is very good.
The admission requirement is to show 'regular' attendance at the church- stipulated as fortnightly or 26 times between 1st Sept 2011 and 1st Sept 2012.
When I got the form back from the church it says that we have attended 24 times during this period (you sign in each time).
I rang the school and asked if this meant we will definitely not get in under this criteria as we haven't attended the required 26 times. The lady spike to the Headmistress and rang me back later and said for me to submit a covering letter to the school.
Does anyone have any idea where we stand in terms of getting a place under this admission criteria?
I'm wondering whether it would be better to put my second choice school as first choice now as we have a good chance of getting in due to location.
You can't have been every sunday for 2 years then!!! Preference would go to parents who are more commited church goers... then if space to you. thats only fair! Why didn't you just go weekly?
Unless you have extenuating circumstances then you simply haven't met the criteria as published. Presumably you would be considered in the next category (religion or distance?) so if it is an oversubscribed school then it means you are taking your chance with those who do not attend the local church. Can you find out how many were admitted in that category last year although obviously demographics will vary from one year to next, otherwise impossible to quantify your chances.
Church is only on the first 3 Sundays of the month. Also I had a baby in March so obviously missed a few then.
They take into consideration baptisms as a sign of commitment to the church and our baby was baptised there in August. So I'm just confused as to where we will come on the list really. Why would the school ask me to send in a covering letter?
If it's your favourite school then you have nothing to lose by putting it first. Either you'll get in (great) or you won't, in which case you'll have just as good a chance at your second choice as you would if you'd put it first. No reason to change your order of preferences.
If they state fortnightly/26 times and you haven't met it there is no room for discretion. Presumably dc1 wasn't baptised there and you have had 15 other occasions to attend during the year.
Admissions are under an 'equal preference' system (and have to be, it's the law). You do not need to alter the order of your preferences, as rank on the form has no bearing whatsoever on whether you are offered a place. You will be offered a place at the highest ranked school for which you qualify, and will only get that one offer.
If you put school B as your first preference, and are offered a place there, yo will not be offered a place at school A, even if quirk means they did get into the lower attendance categories this year. If you put school A as first and (as you expect) miss out there, it will make no difference whatsoever to whether you get a school B place.
This is all about what exactly the school admission criteria says. I would argue that fortnightly or 26 times between two dates are not the same thing and especially so if there are only services on three weeks of the months. By my reckoning that means that nobody can meet the requirement to go fortnightly some months if the church only has services for the first three weeks of the month.
The admission criteria needs to be specific and to be met for you to be considered in that category. However it is not unknown for faith schools to take a somewhat more cavalier attitude to the exact meaning of an admission criteria, especially when it is someone that the church / school is aware of. I would definitely put in a letter explaining why you did not quite meet the admission criteria, you have nothing to loose.
Having said that it is all about the exact meaning of the admission criteria and a poorly worded criteria is an open invitation to appeal for a place based on the school having mis-interpreted the admission criteria. If you PM me with the school and LA I will look at the exact wording of the admission criteria and give you an opinion on what I think it means, based on my experience sitting on admission appeal panels.
This does sound awfully as if you are just attending church to get into the school though.
Does anyone know how the governors rank the applicants?
It should be clear form the admissions booklet published by LA /School. It might be 1.Looked After/SEN, 2. Those meeting the specific religious attendance then possibly those of that religion but attending different church or residents of the parish, then distance from school. Siblings might also take priority over those from outside the parish. You need to check the criteria as that is what they have to work by.
If the school is a Voluntary Aided school then the Govering Body is the Admissions Authority and they will (should) rank all applications naming the school in order based on the Admissions Policy criteria. The Governors will not know what choice position (1st etc) applies to any of the applications.
Did you sign in for baptism or xmas service - can imagine easily overlooked on a special day.
Just wondered if you have your own records and any mileage in getting it amended to 26 by the church prior to submission.

Feeling really guilty for not having more patience with my Mom.
Hello if you look at my profile you will learn a little bit of what I an going through but lately I have been very b**chy yes that's the word to describe myself but my Mom nag's a lot she is a born again Christian and goes on she doesn't even watch TV or listen to the radio unless the program is strictly Christian. and calls me just as I go to the washroom or calls for the littlest things that can wait I am exhausted I am also cooking for her husband because he won't cook she has catered to him all her life and his ex-wife did and his mother I even dump the garbage long story short feeling overwhelmed no life neglecting myself feeling guilty for being grumpy with my Mom and partner any advice I am really depressed too. Already on a antidepressant already joined a support group etc.

dont feel guilty when someone is trying to drag you into their misery. get shi**y with em and tell them to grow up.
I also understand how caregiving can etch away at your time. I am fortunate that my mother does like her TV. If she weren't watching it, she would be thinking of all kinds of things I need to do. :) I don't do things for my mother that she can do for herself. It wouldn't be good for her or for me.
Is your mother's husband incapacitated? or does he just like being catered to? I wouldn't do anything for him that he can do for himself. It isn't good for you or for him. It's sad we often are put in a position of being the "bad guy" if we protest. But sometimes we have to protest to keep from being misused. I don't know how you might handle him, but I would try to get him used to seeing after himself. I know it is easier for me to say this than for you to do it. You didn't marry the man, so I don't see any reason that you should be caring for him if he is capable.
