Due to the number of people requesting criminal record checks, we are unable to process your application while you wait.
Vulnerable Sector Verification is used to determine the possible existence of a criminal record and/or a sexual offence conviction for which an individual has received a pardon. With recent changes made by the RCMP in this search, it will result in more individuals having to submit fingerprints to the RCMP National Repository of Criminal Records to complete the verification.
For a complete list of recent enhancements the RCMP have put into effect please see their web site at www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

To make a request for the Winnipeg Police Service to perform a Criminal Record Check for Employment or Volunteer purposes, you have two options:
For payment amount, please see Fee Schedule.
For a list of Mandatory Identification see Notice of Mandatory Identification Requirements.
We do not process your application while you wait. We do not provide timelines regarding specific applications. More complex Record Checks or those that require further research may be delayed. The completed Criminal Record Check will be mailed to your address.
The Winnipeg Police Service will provide the results of a completed police criminal Record Check only to you, the applicant. This information will note convictions and outstanding charges. It is your decision to discuss the results of a Police Record Check with the agency where you want to work or volunteer.
Vulnerable Sector Screening
Important: Please give careful consideration to completing the optional Part (Consent For a Criminal Record Check and Disclosure For a Sexual Offence For Which a pardon Has Been Granted or Issued) when applying in person or online. This may be required for working or volunteering in an area where you are in contact with vulnerable people -defined as a person under 18 years of age and who, because of their age, disability, or other circumstances, whether temporary or permanent are:
1. In a position of dependence on others, or
A vulnerable sector check is conducted as part of a criminal record check. It is a search of record suspended (formerly a pardon) sexual offences. The vulnerable sector check is national RCMP policy and requires applicants who have a combination of name and/or gender and/or date of birth as a pardoned/suspended sex offender to undergo fingerprinting to verify their identity. The vast majority of those fingerprinted will not have a pardoned/suspended sexual offence; however fingerprinting remains a necessity as it eliminates the possibility of an offender changing their name to circumvent a criminal record. This is not an accusation of criminal activity or guilt; fingerprints are used to confirm your identity only.
The Winnipeg Police Service can only complete a Vulnerable Sector Screening for residents of the City of Winnipeg. You must have ID that shows Winnipeg as your permanent address. If you are a non-resident of the City of Winnipeg, you must make this application to the police service that is responsible for policing in your jurisdiction.
When receiving a Criminal Record Search Certificate, ensure you see an original form with a colored validation sticker adhered to the top right-hand corner, before photocopies are taken.
The Winnipeg Police Service is not responsible for the authenticity of a Criminal Record Search Certificate not bearing a colored validation sticker displaying the Winnipeg Police Service's crest, title and a serial number.
The accuracy of the criminal record search is dependent on the information the applicant supplied (ie. all names an applicant uses)
Pre-paid validation stickers may be purchased through the Winnipeg Police Service Finance Unit during regular business hours (Monday to Friday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm).
Stickers are available in strips of 10, thereby allowing an agency to purchase a minimum of 10 and up to the maximum of 100. Bring the prepaid stickers to one of the listed Services Centres, where it will be affixed to the application form provided at the Service Centres. You will complete the application and the certificate will be mailed.
If you have any questions the Winnipeg Police Service Records Office can be contacted by email or by telephone at 204-986-6074. You can also go to the Public Safety Building at 151 Princess Street at William Avenue, to speak with one of our Police Records Staff. Our public hours are Monday to Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

After I run
rails generate scaffold User
The generated controller function in Rails 3.2.11 for updating a user looks like this:
def update
@user = User.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
if @user.update_attributes(params[:user])
format.html { redirect_to @user, notice: 'User was successfully updated.' }
format.json { head :no_content }
format.html { render action: "edit" }
format.json { render json: @user.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
The line I'm curious about is returning
head :no_content for a successful JSON update request. I've done some googling, as I was guessing that this is some sort of RESTful property, to not return the updated object, but I couldn't find anything that claimed that was the case.
Why is this the default, versus returning the JSON representation of the User object post-update?

Why Read This ReportOutsourcers like Accenture, Genpact, Infosys, and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) are making another run at the BPO market. This new line of attack is based on a standard software "platform" underpinning the BPO offering. No longer will these and other suppliers take over the hodge-podge of client systems in order to run the process. They now offer a full "integrated platform" that includes a standard software offering, not just the people and the process expertise. Forrester believes that including a standard software foundation will cut costs for clients by an additional 20% to 30% on top of the 15% to 20% savings of a traditional BPO solution.

shamrock shake
I know what you're thinking: "A St. Patrick's Day-themed outfit post? Really?" I know. I know. But fate played a hand in this one. I actually found this gorgeous lace coat (?) last week and just about died and went to heaven. I suspect it originally had a dress that went with it, but we can't win 'em all, can we?
This is my grandmother's sorority bracelet. Nothing beats a super-delicate bracelet in my book. My jewelry box is filled with stuff like this.
These shoes are really old. They've been looking awfully lonely on my shoe rack the last few years, but I couldn't seem to bring myself to get rid of them. Good thing I didn't or they might not have been able to fulfill their destiny to be part of this outfit. (Please ignore the purple toes. It was a whim.)

vintage lace dress
vintage necklace

The details and color of the this lace jacket are incredible. I can only imagine what this must look like in person!ReplyDelete
Breathtaking! Everything looks so dainty and elegant and just...beautiful. <3ReplyDelete
Ooh I bet the lace coat would look awesome with more rugged pieces, too.
First thing that came into my mind...those shoes are kick-ass!!!!ReplyDelete
All the pieces sport such intricate, textural details. I love that sort of thing. Gives a piece real weight, literally and figuratively.ReplyDelete
Those shoes are seriously Steve Madden? But lord, girl, that coat is a delicate masterpiece! I ADORE it; it looks so sumptuously southern and gothic and GREEN and my GOD, you must take that with you the next time you go to New Orleans. It kind of looks like it belongs there....ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness I love this soooo much!!ReplyDelete
The jacket is amazing...I'm thinking I need to make one just like it!! (Since we know the chances of finding one that fabulous in a store is quite slim)
Natasha ~ Required2BeInspired
OMG!!! i am totally taken by this spring mint color ... and the shoes!!! gosh, i wish i have it!!1ReplyDelete

The details of the shoes are amazing!

Wow, the mixture of lace is really beautiful. My local pub is offering pints of Guinness for £1.50 (cheap) today - it's a scary pub on normal days so I'll be walking a different route home to avoid being vomitted on by a regular.ReplyDelete
The green lace jacket is perfect! I love it. And the lace dress is gorgeous as well.ReplyDelete

Ha, I wasn't going to wear green today either but wound up giving in. Why not? This is such an amazing coat!!! I would wear that every single day. To the grocery store. And Steve Madden made those shoes? They look way more expensive.ReplyDelete
What a darling little number that green jacket is. A great find. Love the delicate nature of your outfit!ReplyDelete

Lace and lace and lace and I LOVE IT!!ReplyDelete
This outfit also screams spring, which I'm so impatient for.
Your grandma isn't a kappa kappa gamma, is she? Snaps if she is! ;)
I was just driving to work this morning thinking, wow, I am probably a bad blogger for not doing a St. Patrick's themed post, but it's so hard to associate fashion with a holiday for which I spent the majority of my college career wearing themed t-shirts and attending kegs and eggs parties. So I applaud you! Well done. Every piece of this outfit is so intricate and beautiful. Those shoes are to die for. And is your grandma a KKG? Because that is the sorority I belonged to and one of our symbols was a key!ReplyDelete
I adore that lace coat, it's beautiful and it looks amazing with the cream coloured dress.ReplyDelete
wow, the lace is so beautiful. But, I REALLY love your grandma's sorority bracelet. That's such an awesome piece of family history to work into your wardrobe.ReplyDelete
Oooh, I am jealous for Ur bracelet! So adorable!ReplyDelete
Um, absolutely LOVE THIS!!!!!!ReplyDelete
wow that lace jacket is incredible. and I love it with that lace dress... definitely st. Patrick's day green done right!ReplyDelete
haha i am dweebishly dressed up for the holiday as well! and my outfit was also by chance- a bracelet i got in the mail recently. and at least your outfit is not over the top festive. the shade of green in that jacket is absolutely gorgeous, and i love the 2 different lace pieces mixed together.ReplyDelete
The lace jacket is so pretty! You look fantastic, and very feminine.ReplyDelete
I love this outfit. It's a pure, beutiful lace overdose! love the withe and green, the necklace is so cute... xReplyDelete
I am so glad you did this Patrick's DAy post. That vintage lace coat is just amazing!!! Beautiful outfit. :)SArahDReplyDelete

Happy Weekend.
What a gorgeous and elegant outfit. I am adoring your shoes!ReplyDelete
I am always on the hunt for a vintage lace coat--this one is gorgeous.ReplyDelete
Oh my, this coat is so delicate. Love how you put all this lace and fine things together.ReplyDelete
E, part of the reason I enjoy your blog is that your taste in clothing and your sense of style are so different from mine. You always give me something to think about. Like with this outfit... I love those colors, and I love lace, but would I ever end up with an outfit like this? Nope. :PReplyDelete
Long story short, I adore the vintage lace coat (is it very delicate?) and the dress AND the purple polish.
geez, that coat is stunning and the color is so beautiful on you. Your nails are the perfect modern touch to your vintage outfit!ReplyDelete
I am in utter love with this outfit! that lace jacket is so beautiful! I wonder if it went with a matching dress?ReplyDelete
Those shoes are gorgeous and there's no shame in a purple pedi!ReplyDelete
I can't believe those shoes are Steve Madden- so cute. I love that you did a non-cheesy st. patty's day post- you look gorgeous!ReplyDelete
That jacket and that dress are beyond awesome. And that you paired them together like that is genius. I am looking for a lace jacket next when I thrift...:)ReplyDelete
Awww I love how you incorporated green into your look on St. Patty's! I was boring and just wore a green top, but I wish I had been more creative like you here! That lace coat is gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Amazing outfit!ReplyDelete
Great pics!
Gorgeous lace coat, its an amazing color.ReplyDelete
that shade of blue is absolutely lovely. Perfectly romantic and sweet.ReplyDelete
Your style is so captivating and flawless, I absolutely love it.ReplyDelete
I adore this whole look, St. Patty's day or not. This dress is amazing and I love the color and detail on this coat. A perfect look.ReplyDelete
My jaw dropped when I saw this outfit - truly a masterpiece. You are a genius. That it's all vintage (save the amazing shoes) and that the bracelet belonged to your grandmother --- oh yes, THIS is the way to dress! - PatriceReplyDelete
Lovely look ! Kiss xxxReplyDelete

Take These Steps to be an Effective SDR
In June 2014, when Jack McNeilly joined the Take the Interview sales team he became the second person in a young, but growing team. Founded in 2012, the company's sales organization–much like any startup's sales organization–was a bootstrapped team. At the time, the Take the Interview sales team was a purely an outbound Sales Development prospecting team with 95% of their leads coming from the outbound channel.
Recruiting is a massive undertaking. Take the Interview employs digital interviewing to improve recruiting processes and outcomes. Before a company invests the time needed for an in-person session, with Take the Interview, the company has the opportunity to ask the candidate three to five questions–and get this–a candidate responds via video.
Jack knew he was going to be part of something big.
Back then, even though Take the Interview's SDR team was a two-person operation, the daily output produced by Jack and his SDR colleague established the company's pipeline and has seen it grown to a very healthy set of future partners.
Take the Interview had a great product, now they needed a strong sales force behind them to take it to the next level. For the company, the next level meant building a formal sales organization with a laser focused Ideal Customer Profile and a solid set of SDRs.
In the startup world, eight months ago can feel like four years–and that's meant to be taken in the very best way. For Jack, he was an early moving part not only in the company, but in the processes and shaping of the future sales organization.
"In those early days, we were still figuring out our ICP. We set a wide net for our ideal customer and tested the waters across different industries, geographies and titles," said Jack.
In evaluating and determining an ICP, the sales organization at Take the Interview deliberately sifted out only candidates that would have a keen interest in digitizing their interviewing process. For Jack and the Sales Development team, having an ICP made prospecting tangible and ensured that they had the same understanding on which types of specific prospects would find value in their product.
Armed with a bulletproof ICP, Jack was able to engage in the battle of reaching out to hundreds of prospects. With his list of leads, Jack took to LinkedIn and researched each prospect and skimmed for experiences, skills and interests. Then he took a bold leap and requested a connection.
Part two of Jack's outbound prospecting strategy called for a 5×5 Campaign:
Email Message:
"I saw your experience on LinkedIn and wanted to reach out. I thought you'd be a great person to discuss your company's interview process.
My company, Take the Interview, works with high-growth clients like Dropbox and Zappos to hire better talent faster using digital interviewing. I noticed your company has been growing quickly, so I thought a system to identify great talent and hire them ASAP might be a priority.
Would you be free next Thursday at 4 PM EST to chat?"
Jack found that if prospects are interested–they'll respond right away. For the 150 recipients of the above email, Jack took a step back from the educational-advisor role and took a targeted approach. His brief and confident email paid off in his metrics:
Response Rate: 50%
Demo Rate: Over 10%
Sometimes you have to make eye-catching moves in order to connect with a prospect and get ahead of the game. For Jack, this worked.
Eight months later and hundreds of campaigns later, Jack continues to fine-tune Take the Interview's prospect pool and is beginning to build the infrastructure for a larger SDR team. In the upcoming weeks, he envisions having a focus on high-level SDR strategy and training new reps.
Interested in following Jack's lead? Jack offers up this piece of advice to new SDRs, "pick your own journey."
Congrats to Jack for his nomination as a ToutApp SDR Hero!

Welcome to my author page!
I am a teacher, musician, reader, and avid Harry Potter fan. I am originally from the Midwest and now live a bit farther south. I am thrilled to be a proud member of RAVENCLAW House and enjoyed being a site moderator for a time as well.
I hope you enjoy the many stories and poems I have written. I am proud of them all and appreciate any feedback you might care to leave (in other words, reviews are love!) I've listed them below with a short description since I know trolling through summaries can be tedious. Thanks for reading!
EDIT: Someday I will categorize my stories by genre. Today is not that day. ;)
I Am Alive by the opaleye
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 11]
Summary: After his conversation with Dumbledore at King's Cross, Harry wakes and reflects on life and what it means.
2009 Quicksilver Quill Award Winner for Best Poetry!
Fantastic poem! Congrats on winning the QSQ! I love how you've written something so affirming interspersed with something rather dark from the book. Great connection and interplay. Love your word choice, all perfect for what Harry must have felt then. Great job! ~Gina :)
Author's Response: Oh Gina thank you! I forgot to reply to this review. Sorry! I still grin like a mad woman every time I think about the QSQ. It was such a lovely surprise! Thanks for reading and reviewing.
The Waiting Game by Equinox Chick
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 21]
Summary: The waiting room at St Mungo's is a dreary place. Ginny knows it better than many people, for she spends her days there waiting -- and hoping.
This is Equinox Chick from Hufflepuff writing for the extra credit One Floo over the Fwoopers Nest category in the Bookbasilisk Summer Challenge.
I would like to thank Apurva (DracoGurlFurever) for beta'ing this for me and making some great suggestions.
I am not JK Rowling - I doubt that shocks you.
Well done! It's so sad, and yet so beautiful, with such a bittersweet ending. You are a very talented writer- good luck in the challenge! ~Gina :)
Author's Response: Thanks Gina. It was tough and personal to write so I'm pleased it didn't come across as mawkish. Carole xxx
Drowning, not Waving by Equinox Chick
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 26]
Summary: Everyone knows Oliver Wood. He's the seventh year Gryffindor obsessed with Quidditch. But why is he so focused? What drives him on? And how will he cope when the Dementors get too close to his Seeker, and Diggory catches the Snitch?
Shutting himself in the changing room showers, Oliver cannot bring himself to visit Harry in the hospital wing, for the Dementors have released long repressed horrors in his own life. Will he finally face the reality of his life and obsession?
This is Equinox Chick submitting her final for the Characterisation class on the MNFF beta boards.
I would like to thank Emma (Amortentia X) for her invaluable help in beta'ing this tale. She not only corrected my horrible punctuation but helped a great deal with characterisation. I would also like to thank fgweasley, inspirations, eternalangel, Electronic Quillster and luinrina for their suggestions in class. Last but most definitely not least - thank you, Prof Haylee for allocating me Oliver Wood!
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling, but I doubt you're surprised by that.

Also nominated for a 2010 QSQ award in the Best same Sex Pairing category. Thank you!
I can't believe I haven't read this before. It's gorgeous, and I'm not just saying that because it's your birthday! I absolutely loved it. You are brilliant at these SSP stories. *hugs Monochrome* You know I prefer short stories, haha, but I wanted more of this, so I'm thrilled to know you're working on it! Yes!
I thought you did an amazing job with Oliver's character. I could feel his sadness--from his father's abuse to his closeted sexuality. It was heartbreaking. The saddest part was the end, when he told Cedric he was afraid - but for him. Hearing what happened to Danny and Oliver was awful. You really gave Oliver a sad past and a horrible father; I just glad you also gave him a loving mother, a lovely girlfriend, and Cedric. :)
You also really nailed Cedric. We totally get those glimpses of him wanting to be more for Hufflepuff in GoF, and you brought that out here wonderfully. And he was so confident but caring - damn, how could Oliver deny himself for so long! I wanted him too! LOL!
The way you worked the events of PoA into the whole story was great. Having read it, we didn't need to know everything that was going on with Harry and Co., but it grounded the story in something familiar without repeating anything we already knew. Lovely balance.
And the end! Guh! So, so heartbreaking (again) - and yet, also hopeful. Well, except for knowing what happens to Cedric. *sigh* I understand many of your status updates now. It must be hard, wanting to bring them together but damn Peter Pettigrew for interfering! Bloody rat!
Happy Birthday, Carole! This was a beautiful, well-crafted, well-written story, and I really look forward to the next one!
~Gina :)
Author's Response: Thank you so very much, Gina. This was my first SSP and came about because I had this image of Oliver 'drowning himaelf in the showers' ... Somehow this nakedness - ha ha - affected me and I was thinking who I could pair him with, someone equally hot and totally unexpected. A handsome man enters, and we all know who he is - hee hee.
I think you know that I'm struggling a little with the sequel. It's far longer than 9k for one thing and I'm wondering how I managed to pare this down to one shot size when I'm struggling so much with Riptide (that's the title of the sequel). Ho hum, it will be finished, I think I'm on the home straight with it, just don't want to write sad things :( (Bloody rat!)
Thanks again for the lovely review. I really do appreciate it, especially for this story which is one of my favourites. ~Carole~
The Difference You Made by Padfoot Patronus
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 8]
Summary: All accomplished men like Dad share something in common – they are looked down, degraded, criticised for everything they say or do, right or wrong, and they take all of that in, patiently, uncharacteristically. Somewhere in those decades, the same society gives up on them, awards them with a pedestal of hero-ship and an immunity from all things used to roughen them up in a past life. People like Dad never again stand on the common ground like the rest of us.
Albus Potter reflects over past and present upon his father's death. My impression of Harry Potter in later years – a hero of sort and so much more.
Hi! I think you've done a great job with this story, I'm glad I read it! It is very poignant, starting with Harry's death. You've taken his character in a really interesting direction with his addiction to smoking; it could be awkward (Harry Potter smoke? Never!) except you set it up and flesh it out a bit and make it believable in the context of your story. I only wonder why he started after Lily left - empty nest syndrome? :)
There is so much packed into this, but it is clear and adds a depth to the story that makes the reader want to know more about your version of these characters and their experiences. You do a really good job of introducing your original character without just saying "And Lisa, James' wife, came in." The only rather confusing bit - and pardon me if I missed something or am forgetting a bit of canon you are referencing - was something Hermione says to Ron:
And she still blames me for it… Doesn't she? She thinks it was my fault.
I wasn't sure what that was about but it was one small thing.
I really liked reading your character of Albus Potter, he was a good choice for the POV and you did well with that. I especially liked meeting Lily. You did a good job with everyone, really. The row with Percy showed he hasn't changed much, has he?
The last line, "Dad was too good, too right, to be a hero." is fascinating! It sort of makes me want to tip that statement on it's head. ;) It was a good ending, the funeral and Albus's final statement. The paragraph about the reporters was especially good and seemed true.
Overall, I think you did a wonderful with this story. It was original and very touching. Good luck with your next one! :)
~Gina :)
Author's Response:
It wasn't awkward?! Thank goodness. This was meant to be my comeback fiction and I thought at one point I'd taken a long shot what with something so debatable like an addicted Harry Potter. I still think I could have done with a little more at the explanation but then that would have threatened to take the focus away. I also tend to find it hard to stop when I get going, so it was just better to stick with what I'd already written. Hmm. Why did he start after Lily left for Hogwarts? Perhaps he was smoking even before she left but did it secretly given the hazards. So he cared enough to wait in a way, but the temptation and the pressure which he was probably was under as part of his job and position made it hard for him. I didn't think about this too much, but it could be one of the above.
I'm glad the story was slow enough to come across as clearly expressed. I often find that although I have all of my story in my head, I forget the distinction between that and what my reader does and does not know. You surely know this too well ;) Thankfully, here I didn't struggle with that much. About that thing Hermione says, well like I said to Ari, I wanted something to suggest that not all was good between these families all the time. The very defensive and rude stance that James takes with Percy hints at previous confrontations too. Ginny's comment about 'getting the obvious wrong' suggests that the two may have ended up on the wrong side of each other before now. So that's something in the background, something that is still a raw memory for Ginny and Hermione and that which involves Harry. Perhaps it is regarding work. I'm not sure. Maybe this wasn't THE best way to try about this intent, but ah well.
Regarding Percy, you must read my response to Ari. He hasn't changed much on the surface so to say - but I tried to show that there's more to him than that. While James' views his father on a more personal level, Percy takes an outsider's view. It's just our perspective sometimes, it is not always bad.
Thank you for your words of encouragment, Gina! They mean a lot. Thank you for the lovely review.
To Win his Heart by mudbloodproud
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 9]
Summary: What happened between Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks after they left Bill's bedside after he was attacked by Greyback? What made Remus see the light in his relationship with Tonks?
They went down by the lake and Tonks wouldn't take no for an answer. This is their conversation.
I am mudbloodproud of Hufflepuff writing for the Gift of Gab competition on the beta forums.
That was lovely! I enjoyed that very much. It's amazing how well you can convey character through dialogue alone, and you did a great job with Remus and Tonks. I loved the humor too - good luck in the challenge! ~Gina :)
The Slow Burn of Betrayal by Equinox Chick
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 6]
Summary: At school Peter Pettigrew was somebody. He was a Gryffindor, a Marauder and an Animagus. Peter Pettigrew was special. He would have died for his friends ... at school.
But what happens when he leaves the haven of Hogwarts? Peter is no longer one of four, but a man alone working at the Ministry. And with his friends caught up in life or death situations, is it any wonder that Wormtail gets overlooked.
This is the untold story of Peter's treachery.
This is Equinox Chick of Hufflepuff writing for The Untold Story Challenge in the Great Hall on the Beta Forums
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling, and whilst I would very much like to own Sirius and Remus (although she can keep Peter), I don't.
Thank you to Lexi (Harry Rulz) for beta'ing this fic for me. It really is appreciated.
Ooh, neat story! To think that Peter was seduced to the dark side by his lonliness and a pretty girl is a nice take on his betrayal. Great title and introduction. Very good buildup - I was really hoping she wasn't a Death Eater, but once she "slithered down the wall beside him" it was kind of over, wasn't it? I think this scenario is very plausible because it's so subtle. I think he must have been very lonely indeed, which is a sad commentary on his supposed friends. So what do you suppose happens next? Is he blackmailed into joining or does he join more willingly for Eleanor? Nice job - good luck with the challenge! ~Gina :)
Author's Response: Thank you, Gina. Although, I knew in my mind that she was always on the 'dark side', it's nice to know that you thought she might be innocent ... I agree about his friends. It's always been my contention that leaving Hogwarts was what changed them (plus Lily effectively changing the whole Marauder dynamic). Not totally sure what happens next ... we'll see ... I think he just gets in too far and there's no going back. Thanks again ~Carole~
A True Weasley by ahattab33
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 5]
All summer, Percy has been anxiously awaiting that moment he knows with change his life: the day he arrives at Hogwarts. But with all his expectations, will he be prepared for what the Sorting Hat has to tell him?I am ahattab33 of Hufflepuff, and this is my entry for the Hufflepuff Back to School Challenge.
Aw, that was sweet! It's so nice to read a bit more about Percy, since he's always sort of picked on by his brothers. You did a lovely job fleshing him out a bit and making him a far more likable character than he was in some of the books. It's nice to think he started out this way, just any other kid nervous about his first day at school. The conversation with the Sorting Hat was fantastic! You really nailed his characteristics down well. Such a nice story, it really deserves more reviews! ~Gina :)
Author's Response:
EEK! Someone reviewed this little story! My poor little Percy story is kind of shifted to the back behind my canon romance ones. I still feel like the only person who ever read it was Natalie, who beta'd it, so I was quite shocked to get your review, and quite pleased that you liked it.
When the challenge came out last year in Hufflepuff, I immediately thought of Percy, as I've always had those moments in the series why I wondered why he wasn't sorted in Slytherin, and decided that it while it would be cliche to say it was simply because he was a Weasley, but then I realized that at the heart of it, that actually was the case- because he WAS a Weasley, and in the end has some of those defining characteristics that the rest of his family had that made us all love them so. I think that's some of the writing I'm most proud of, the conversation with the Sorting Hat, in anything I've ever written, because not only does it convey something I really wanted to specifically convey, but I was nervous about getting his style of speaking down.
Your review made me beam. :) Sorry for the long reply!
Muggles, Magic and Misconceptions by Equinox Chick
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 10]
Summary: Relishing a moment's peace at the end of the day, Andromeda Tonks sits and talks to her family. They may only be photographs, but still she chats and shares her life with them. But how can they help when Teddy runs home in an uncharacteristic rage after playing with Muggle friends in the park?
This is Equinox Chick of Hufflepuff writing for the Halloween Challenge, Halloween Explained prompt in the Great Hall Challenge.
Thank you to Emma (Amortentia x) for beta'ing this story.
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling, but I doubt that surprises you.
Claimer: I am, like Ted Tonks, a fan of Tottenham Hotspur.
Sorry, I actually said that out loud when Teddy got to the werewolf part. This was really sweet. You have such a simple, genuine way of capturing these characters and writing a very heartfelt scene with them. I love your writing style and your pacing here was really good. What a perfect idea for the challenge! Good luck! ~Gina :)
Author's Response: Thank you, Gina. I'm pleased you liked the story as I don't write much Next Gen at all, but Teddy kinda draws me in. ~Carole~
Company by HollynPhoenix
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 4]
Summary: Minerva knew it was time to leave. She was ready. So why was it so hard to walk out that door? A one-shot moment of transition in one character's life after the war. Why are life's major transitions so challenging, and what is it we really need from each other?
That was very sweet! I thought Minerva was beautifully in character and enjoyed her reflections upon leaving. I also really liked her interaction with Harry and Neville. Their gift was very touching. Well-researched and well-done! ~Gina :)
Cauchemar by the opaleye
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 9]
Nominated for the 2010 QSQ Awards for Best Poetry!
Very cool! I can totally imagine that Harry went through something like this. This was very well done, so easily readable, and the concluding couplet was perfect. Great job! ~Gina :)
Author's Response: Thanks Gina! Yes, I can't imagine that Harry WOULDN'T have gone through something like this. After everything he went through finding the Horcruxes and to the Final Battle where so many loved characters died... it's hard to imagine a happy!Harry afterwards. But thanks for the read and review! Glad you liked it!
The Colour of Distance by the opaleye
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 15]
She stares out across the great expanse of water.
He watches her longing gaze.
Finally alone.
My final task for the 'Watching the Mirror' class on the beta boards.
Nominated in the 2010 Quicksilver Quill Awards for Best Non-Canon Romance.
That was great! You really paced this well, building and building to the (dare I say it?) climax when they finally admitted they wanted and needed each other. I'm a canon shipper myself, but between you and Jess (and the movies, which definitely seem biased toward Harry/Hermione at times) I could absolutely see this! Your writing is very descriptive and emotional and really conveys this desperate need they have to fulfill. Wonderful job, I enjoyed reading this story! ~Gina :)
Author's Response: Well I'm glad that you enjoyed this as a canon shipper. I really wanted it to flow like the song I quote from, slow and lilting until the final few climactic paragraphs. Thank you so much for the review!
Portrait by Magical Maeve
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 2]
Summary: A wizard gallery is a noisy place, but it's the quiet ones that will get you.
That was very touching. I like how it leaves so much to the reader's imagination. :) ~Gina
Author's Response: Thank you, Gina. This was a nice one to write because its such a joyful snapshot.
Ron Weasley is staying at Shell Cottage during the Christmas of 1997. These are the thoughts and feelings that occupy him.This is ahattab33 of Hufflepuff, and this is for the "Watching the Mirror" class on the MNFF Beta Boards.
That was heartbreaking! And perfect, as well. I mean, it must be exactly what happened from Ron's point of view. I think you totally nailed it. I loved it.
You wove events and quotes from DH in efffortlessly. And yet, this was still your own fic. You really gave Ron an emotional depth that was so wonderful to read. We just don't get it with the books being from Harry's POV. I loved reading Ron's inner turmoil, sad as it was.
Bill and Fleur's appearance was understated and well-done. The Deluminator was brilliant. Ron tells us about it in DH, but reading it happening to him was much, much better.
I'm curious if you ever thought about continuing this a bit? You write Ron very well. Maybe someday you can continue up to the point where he finds Harry struggling with the sword. :)
Wonderful fic, Amanda! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
~Gina :)
Author's Response: *beams* I just...LOVE LOVE LOVE. You just made me melt into a million pieces again reading this...months later because I'm lame and am just now responding. But seriously, I do love this story, but I never thought everyone else would, too. And isn't it weird how much we love reading about Ron's agony? LOL poor Ron, we love you. Thank you so much....I have honestly never thought about continuing it because this part was always so clearly defined in my mind, but I've never thought about what happens next! I have really defined areas of head canon about certain things, lol. Again, thank you! Sorry for the late reply! <3 ~Amanda
Matthew Seven by DeadManSeven
Rated: Professors [Reviews - 7]
Summary: If asked, Yvonne would have admitted that she was caught in-between two worlds. She was a witch - a Healer working at St. Mungo's, in fact - who used Muggle methods to help her patients. She had no connection to the Department of Mysteries, and could not have thought she was trapped between the present and the past, reality and nightmare, truth and lie, the living and the dead...
Not yet, anyway.
I was totally not expecting the bit about God. Absolutely fascinating. So few fanfics go into religion, this is a perfect way to address it. And an amazing cliffhanger as well! I can't wait to finish and leave a bit longer review. ~Gina :)
Author's Response: I was always disappointed that religion is such an untouched subject, since faith is left relatively unexplored in the canon. How does knowing magic exists affect people's faith? How do people raised with religious upbringings react to the magical world? How does magic affect views on miracles, ghosts on the afterlife? For that matter, are there athiests in a world with Horcruxes? The (very small) parts about God in my story are just the tip of the iceberg, I think.
This was a really fascinating story. Really well-written, engaging, and thought-provoking. I loved the characters as well the the well-paced progression of the plot. The horror aspects were well written and the cliff-hangers were great!
The ending was unexpected, at least the bit with Moss and what Yvonne did to him. Once we learned Yvonne's memory, I knew who the girl in the ward was. I had a feeling that patient would come back!
I only wanted a bit more at the end. Namely, how did Yvonne recover? But I sense that just wasn't a part of this story, that her final scene with Mary at the end was sort of where you were always planning on taking it. It was well-done, even if I wanted more details. :)
A great story and I'm glad to have read it for the review circle! ~Gina :)
Author's Response: I wanted for this story to be unpredictable right up to the end, which then puts the actions of the main character through the story in a different light. It's a technique that crops up in a lot of anime, and is how practically every character on 'Lost' was established, and I find it fascinating. If you're given all of a character's backstory up front, you can probably figure out what situation they'll ultimately be put in in the climax of the story before the story gets there, and that's... well, usually boring, if the character or the plot are anything less than excellent, but having the layers of characters peeled away as the plot moves forward automatically gives the whole story a very different dynamic. The character is on a journey to further understand their world, and you're with them for that, but at the same time you yourself are also on a journey to further understand the character. It was a fun technique to use to plan.
Glad you liked it so much; I think it's got a lot for people to discover, if they're got the stomach to stick through it.
What a great start! You've quickly established a terrifically engaging character in Yvonne. I already feel like I know her, perhaps because she seems so Muggle-ish and yet works at St. Mungo's. Your attention to detail fleshes things out but doesn't get trapped in boorish repetition; everything contributes to the in depth sense of character and setting you've outlined her. You've also set up (I think, anyway) an interesting mystery/plotline about the emergency at the hospital. I'm already wondering how things tie to the summary.
Your writing is very good and I look forward to reading more! ~Gina :)
Author's Response: One of the things I realy wanted to do with Yvonne was anchor her in the Muggle world. She has an apartment with a toaster and a TV, she rides the bus to work and listen to an iPod, she's one of us. Yet she's a part of the magical world too, and I guess we as HP fans can relate to that, too. It always bothered me that there were no characters in the series that ever really remained strongly connected to any Muggle roots they had - not even Hermione, who I was sure was going to start a Muggle rights campaign base on her house elf activism - so I made one, and made sure to make as many Muggle references as I could. When else am I going to get the chance to, after all?
Wow, more and more mysteries! Great set-up, wonderful job building and layering things. This is fascinating, and just fantastic writing, as well. So descriptive here at the end in particular! Great job! ~Gina :)
Author's Response: The image at the end of this chapter - of someone getting closer and closer to their reflection and then climbing inside their own eye - was the thing that sparked this story off, and I did a lot of thinking about who this person was and what exactly they were doing and how they got to this point. I hate anything to do with eyes - people touching them, talking about their contact lenses, things like that - so I paid very close attention to getting across the feeling of utter wrongness that went with that image, but also the sheer unreality of it. Like, where can the story go, after this? Guess you'll just have to read on...
Oh my, that was really, really scary! Amazing writing! I don't like horror movies, but reading one is not as bad as actually seeing something like this actually happen on screen (eek!), and I really have to know what happened to Yvonne and if she is okay! Great job! ~Gina :)
Author's Response: It's funny, because I think I'm the opposite - I don't have much trouble forgetting images in films, but sometimes descriptions of things will just stick like fishhooks in my mind. The girl on the bus was such a thing. I wanted to go a bit horror with this story, so I was trying to think of a concept that was particularly hard to get out of my head, rather than just an image of something grotesque. I think anyone can write about monsters and madmen, describe them in meticulous detail, but it's not going to have the right impact unless there's something underneath the monster, like.
Welcome Home by ToBeOrNotToBeAGryffindor
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 4]
The wizarding mothers of England have banded together after the fall of Voldemort to support one another with a common purpose: to mourn the loss of their children in the war. These grieving mothers formed a group, Hospice for the Orphaned Mothers of England (H.O.M.E.), for just that cause.
Molly Weasley stood before the assembly of H.O.M.E. and shared the story of her son, Fred. Join Molly as she imparts her personal loss and heartbreak so that the orphaned mothers know that they are, indeed, not alone.
This is ToBeOrNotToBeAGryffindor of Ravenclaw House, and this is an entry for the Winter Snows 09 H.O.M.E. Challenge.
Aw, that was very sweet! Poor Molly. You captured her spirit well - I could almost see her rolling her eyes at the twins' exploits as she spoke, as well as beaming with pride over their accomplishments. They way she spoke about Fred's death was heartbreaking. Good luck in the challenge! ~Gina :)
Author's Response:
I tried to make it real without making it sappy and gross, and I hope I've done that. Lately, I've been writing a lot of 'dead people' fics, where characters die and the mourning angst over the loss...I guess that makes me morbid, lol.
So glad you liked it, and I hope to win in at least one of the Winter Snows categories (and so far, I'm the only one that did the Lockhart one, so I think I'm good there. :)
It Was the Worst of Times by ToBeOrNotToBeAGryffindor
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 5]
In times of peace, tales of strife and angst tend to fall out of favor with the masses, but stories of happy endings and the concept of everything turning out all right don't often make for good reading. There are rare occasions, though, when both can be met with equal accord and form a bond in the written word.
The first sentence in the Charles Dickens classic, A Tale of Two Cities, simply states that 'It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.' An anonymous writer sent in a letter to Roxanne Weasley's weekly featurette in the Daily Prophet, telling the story of his father's murder and his journey to recovery, which seemed to be the incarnation of that very line. Sometimes, it takes a loss for one to truly appreciate what one has in life and even in death.
This story has been podcasted by the MNFF Mermuggles. Its reading starts at 16:26. Thanks to Olivia/Apollonious for reading it so wonderfully.
That was very good! I like how the author remained anonymous, it was fun to read the clues about who it might be. I think I know, although I'm not sure who his wife and her uncle are. :) The first person voice was a good choice, as it was very personal and moving. The only thing I might suggest is a concluding paragraph at the end by the reporter wrapping it up. Good luck in this challenge as well! ~Gina :)
Author's Response:
Thank you for the review, GIna, and I'm glad to see you lurking in my work. Ra-Ra-Ravenclaw! :D
I'll definitely have to consider changing the end to include a last paragraph, but I'd have to do it soon, considering it was nominated for an audiofic.
Well, I'm glad you liked it, and I shall see you around Mugglenet in various places. Cheers!

Alton Hauntings Tours
Based on the book Haunted Alton by Troy Taylor, Alton Hauntings Tours offers an entertaining and spine-tingling trip into the unknown, taking visitors to the most authentic haunted places in Alton. Uncover the eerie folklore, ghostly tales and documented haunted spots on a three-hour walking tour of the city's most haunted sites. Visitors will see sites that have become nationally known, like the old Alton penitentiary, First Unitarian Church, Enos Sanitarium and many others. The tours have been proven to be popular with ghost enthusiasts and history buffs alike, and nowhere else can you learn as much about the real, haunted history of Alton. Walking tours and bus tours are offered during two touring seasons – Spring & Summer and the Haunted Fall Season. Private tours are also available for groups of 20 or more. Reservations must be made in advance for all tours.
Eagle Watching at Starved Rock State Park
You don't have to travel north to see these majestic birds of prey. Thousands of eagles migrate south from Canada during the winter and Illinois is one of the homes of the greatest population of wintering bald eagles. The Starved Rock Lodge in Utica offers a "Bald Eagle Trolley Tour" in January and February on Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Viewing birds from the Veranda at the Starved Rock Lodge is good as well. Dress warmly though. This great viewing spot is right outside the doors of the Great Room. If you'd like some exercise, take a hike on one of the trails at the Starved Rock State Park. One trail begins right at the Veranda. For a birds eye view, hike to the top of the Rock. Another popular event is "Eagle Watch Weekend" with activites both at the Starved Rock Lodge and the Illinois Waterway Visitors Center.
Underground Railroad Shuttle Tours
Learn about local Underground Railroad sites on a shuttle tour with J.E. Robinson Tours and the Alton Regional CVB. These two-hour guided shuttle tours will stop at some of the sites that were part of the Underground Railroad system including the Old Rock House, Rocky Fork Church and more. Alton's riverfront location along the Mighty Mississippi played a vital role in helping slaves make connections to the freedom of the northern states. Buried beneath the streets of Alton and Godfrey, remnants of this period in history still exist.
Eagle Watching in Alton
Illinois boasts the largest concentration of wintering American bald eagles in the continental U.S., and the Alton area is a great place to see them. Mingle with a live eagle at the National Great Rivers Museum. Get a bird's-eye view from eight stories high as majestic eagles soar along the Mississippi River at the adjacent Melvin Price Locks & Dam. Or drive along on an exciting eagle-watching expedition with a nature expert at Pere Marquette State Park during Bald Eagle Days, held from late December through mid-February.
Bald Eagle Trolley Tours
Be mesmerized by the beautiful bald eagles at Starved Rock. Ride the trolley to the Illinois Waterway Visitor Center for eagle viewing and an educational program.

The Cache River Wetlands offers great opportunities for eagle watching, as well as spotting other birds.

They will provide maps and directions to the viewing station for the nest just off Illinois Route 37 off Perks road and south of the visitor's center.

Employee Engagement is all the rage. What is crazy is that I never thought is was that complex. For most of my career, if I got a "good job" or an occasional gift card for a coffee place, I was chill.
I have to share one company in particular that, as a diversity thought leader, I think everyone needs to meet.Their name? RoundPegg.
I have been writing for years about diversity and business culture. A continuous theme that creeps up is that some companies just do not have an environment that is ready for a diversity or culture change. Maybe they just don't know where to start. RoundPegg has figured this culture stuff out.
I met Tim Wolters, CEO of RoundPegg, albeit briefly, at lunch during HR Tech. Not only is he easy on the eyes, Wolters is the Founder of RoundPegg, a platform that allows companies to quantify their business culture and utilize that in hiring, developing, and engaging employees. – BooYa – it is all there.
Why is he relevant to sourcing you may ask. He is relevant because all happy employees are ambassadors for their companies. On RoundPeggs's website they state, "…today's leaders are excused for failing to manage culture because it has always seemed too big to do anything meaningful about and tracking progress does not fit neatly into a spreadsheet." *Snap*
What they believe
- There is no one right culture.
- Every employee contributes to the culture.
- Culture must be measured bottom up, rather than dictated top down.
- Employees want to do well and will when given a chance. They are rarely 'bad.' There are only bad situations for certain employees.
- Individual success is a function of being able to be yourself and put your best foot forward within a company in a way that gets rewarded.
- Successful companies are ones that have figured out what they believe and have aligned their workforce around it rather than subscribing to the latest business culture bestseller in the airport bookstore.
I cannot agree more. Before implementing a new business culture, especially the culture of diversity, there is some work to do. After you implement MY diversity audit, check out RoundPegg. Diversity and embracing company culture is not a cute thing to put in a mission statement – there is research and science behind it. When you know better, you will do better. Do your due diligence and together we can build a "High Performance Workforce."

Review by:
Mike Dominic
on April 28, 2011 :
The strength of "Fraterfamilias" is its cast of characters, a gathering of personalities about whom the reader almost instantly wants to know more. They're well-constructed, complex and largely sympathetic. The authors capture their individual voices very well. It was anticipation of their several fates that, largely, kept me reading to the end.
Unfortunately, the weakness of "Fraterfamilias" also lies in the characters. More specifically, it lies in their failure to really DO anything for most of the span of the novel.
The action of the story opens with a very strong scene in which a leading character is killed. Much credit goes to Doloughan and Stiles for finding a way to kill off their protagonist in the introduction and still have him be the pivot of the rest of the novel without resorting to one long flashback.
However, after that very promising opening, the rest of the characters seem to run themselves a merry caucus race for the rest of the book, circling around each other with motivations and goals that are never quite clear to the reader, and possibly even to themselves. The main plot is just barely strong enough to tie all the leading roles together, and very often the subplots were more interesting...up to the point where it was realized that they were either never going to be resolved, or resolved in a vague, hurried fashion.
The villain of the piece, as much as he can be considered a villain, remains shrouded in mystery for the bulk of the story, but then is largely left hanging in his final scene, with no indication of a dénouement or even a proper comeuppance. Not that he does much in the span of the novel to deserve one, other than setting loose his despicable henchman, whose final treatment is much milder than it should have been.
As a whole, the novel feels like the authors came up with an interesting cast of characters (about whom I'm sure there's an interesting backstory tucked away somewhere), but couldn't think of the right paces to put them through. The result is that the story is just scene after scene of "talking heads", who never really live up to the potential they promise.
It's not a bad novel, really...if you enjoy internal dialogue, and characters working through their feelings, then this may be your book. However, that's not the type of novel the cover and the writeup, or even the introduction, promise. What they do promise is something that's never truly realized.
Personally, I'd like to see the bulk of this story edited down to novella length, then have that serve as the introduction to a longer work, in which we learn more about the characters, and get more of their backstory in the context of a more action-driven (not necessarily violence, but for heavens' sake, have them do something!) plot.
I suppose its some praise for the novel that I was able to finish it, when I have abandoned works by more well-known authors, and also that I still would like to know more about the characters involved. I do appreciate its better points, but I doubt that I will be recommending it to anyone else.
