DO NOT HIRE My Ideal Wedding Scam Awful Stay Away Review Bad Review - Disgusting - Rip OFF Melbourne Victoria
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I recently used the "new" and clearly UNFINISHED SCAM service "My Ideal Wedding" to plan my big event/wedding day. The owner 'Craig Dougherty' also sometimes suspiciously referred to as 'Ronald Craig Dougherty' (if that doesn't set off alarm bells, I don't know what does') was a rude, cheavinistic pig of a man. Upon being charged $3000 on my credit card upon signing up for their "FREE VENUE LISTING" on their website yet their website states that the first month is free and that any credit card details taken are simply for confirming the users/members details and in case you wish to continue adveritising with them in future.
I was charged the $3000 in the first 4 days upon signing up! This is ridiculous! I demanded my money back and after attempting to contact MR RONALD CRAIG DOUGHERTY OF 16 SEAVIEW AVE (Registered business address) I finally got through to someone (apparently Ronald) who stated that he will "sort out the issue, when he can be bothered" which apparently he hasn't been bothered after all of these weeks.
STAY WELL AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. I have contacted the Victorian Police about this credit card fraud and they will be investigating.

What a story!!!!
Ripoff Report sets the record straight! Be a smart consumer and make decisions based on adequate research.
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, November 25, 2015POSTED: Wednesday, November 25, 2015
This report is actually fantastic. It shows how people can be extremely stupid and act like children. The funny part is that the story doesn't even add up!!!
Since the launch of the site we have been on a funny journey where we had to deal with people deleting our Facebook page, posting all sorts of crap and trying to harm us big times. I am the developer of My Ideal Wedding and work closely with Craig Ronald who is an absolutely fantastic person and nothing but a happy, positive, polite, supportive and most importantly ethical person.
Such reports against My Ideal Wedding had been going around and we have been taking them down one by one from various websites such as Google, Facebook, Yelp etc. The funny part is that reputable organisations like Google and Facebook are investigating our claims about those fake reviews and taking the reports down after retry verify that what we are saying is true, however organisations such as ripoff and yelp are refusing to even investigate such claims without minimum payments of $2000 as a start for mediation making them horrible organisations to deal with who are a ripoff themselves. Ripoff and yelp answers to us were along the lines of we are a consumer driven organisation what rely on this consumers to report and we don't investigate the truth behind the submissions as we are not required to do so by American law. Well if you are operating in America why do you allow people to submit reports for companies outside the United States of America?
As a conclusion even such reports exists against many companies not just My Ideal Wedding, I would personally refuse to listen to them if they were on ripoff or yelp as they are not moderated and most probably hate reports.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Ripoff Report strongly believes in the First Amendment, even when it is about us. We understand that people who have complaints written about them are upset and want to place blame somewhere, especially if they feel the content of the Reports are false. We also understand that individuals want to blame our website rather than where it belongs – on the person who wrote the Reports in the first place. Using the same method that we provide FREE OF CHARGE to all of our users, we would like to "set the record straight" as to the comments posted about our website through this Rebuttal. Every user of our website has the opportunity to tell their side of the story, for free, just as we will do here. We certainly encourage users to "set the record straight" and tell their side of the story by using the free methods available to them before they consider other Ripoff Report programs (such as our VIP Arbitration Program or the Corporate Advocacy Program) or alterative avenues (such as filing a lawsuit against the Author of the report) that cost money. After all, all we know is that the author affirms that the information is true when they submit their posting. Ripoff Report is not a judge and jury. This is precisely why we allow Reports, Comments, Rebuttals and Updates, for free, by anyone (including the person/company posted about) who has information to share about the situation. By doing so, all sides of the story are able to be heard so other users of the site can make an educated decision about the situation for themselves.
The Author of this report is incorrect in suggesting that Ripoff Report will remove a Report for $2,000, or for any amount of money for that matter. Ripoff Report has a general policy of NOT REMOVING Reports. Our policy can be viewed on our website by clicking HERE. $2,000 is the cost of Ripoff Report's VIP Arbitration Program - a program that removes only challenged statements of facts in a Report that are found to be to be false after presentation of evidence to an independent arbitrator who is not directly affiliated with any of the parties. Even in that instance, the Report is not removed. Only challenged statements of fact that are found to be false by the arbitrator will be (((REDACTED))). Again, to be clear, Ripoff Report will not remove Reports for money and any information to the contrary is simply not accurate. To understand the full context of our Arbitration Program, we invite you to review all of the applicable information, including the Program Rules, by visiting our arbitration webpage at http://www.ripoffreport.com/Arbitration.aspx.
We thank you for taking the time to read this Rebuttal and allowing us to "set the record straight."

#2 REBUTTAL Owner of company
Bogus claim!
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, November 25, 2015POSTED: Wednesday, November 25, 2015
My Ideal Wedding is a newly established company which launchd in September this year. Kat Muscat is not, and never has been, a 'customer' of our business.
As anyone who has used our site would know - engaged couples using our website NEVER enter their credit card details. If Kat was a user of the site she would know this to be the case. The only revenue raised on the site is from Wedding Suppliers who pay for advertising on the site.
"Kat" seems to be very confused. At first she says that she signed up to 'plan her big event/wedding day. She then says thta in planning her event/big day she then signed up for a FREE VENUE LISTING. WHy would someone planning their wedding want to have a FREE VENUE LISTING?
Unfortunately I have been targeted by someone who wants to damage myself and my business. It would seem a disgruntled 'ex-contractor' is doing whatever they can to harm us. They started by attacking and severly damaging our website. They then attempted to delete our Business Facebook account.
This report is their latest attempt to hurt our business.
Any check with Victorian Police will quickly reveal that no reports have been lodged against us and that this is a fictitious report by a very vendictive individual. It is dissapointing that people can raise such reports using fictitious names and with no evidence.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of all-stars as the global blockbuster franchise built on speed races to its next continent in Fast & Furious 6. Reuniting for their most high-stakes adventure yet, fan favorites Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges and Elsa Pataky are joined by badass series newcomers Luke Evans and Gina Carano.
Since Dom (Diesel) and Brian's (Walker) Rio heist toppled a kingpin's empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete.
Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.
Building on the worldwide blockbuster success of Fast Five and taking the action, stunts and narrative to even greater heights, Fast & Furious 6 sees director Justin Lin back behind the camera for the fourth time. He is supported by longtime producers Neal H. Moritz and Vin Diesel, who welcome producer Clayton Townsend back to the series.

Jake Lodewegen's first job came at the age of 14, so it should come as no surprise that now, the 23-year-old runs two businesses. Ten years ago, while fishing the walleye opener with family near Orr, Lodewegen and the owner of the fishing resort got to talking. When the resort owner found out Lodewegen was 14, he casually extended a job offer to the youngster. "Now that you are 14, you could work here now," the man told the Hastings boy.
By the end of this week, the Hastings cross country team will have raced three times this season. Each one of those races will have been dramatically different than the others. The season's first meet was an extreme race, through streams and up and down river beds. The second race was held on a relatively flat and very fast course in Eagan. The third race, the team's only home meet of the year on Thursday, will be held at St.
The Hastings girls swimming team had no trouble beating Forest Lake on Thursday, getting out to a big lead en route to an 88-77 win. Hastings won every event. The swimmer of the meet for the Raiders was sophomore Kate Reilly. "She had a great first meet," Hastings coach Katie McAlpin said. "Her individual times were right on. She is going to be a great asset to our team this year." Hastings plays host to Cretin-Derham Hall in the first home meet of the season, set for 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Hastings Middle School pool. The team also has a fund-raiser planned for Saturday, Sept. 11.
It hasn't been the start that the new Hastings boys soccer coach has wanted in terms of wins and losses, but first-year-coach Shane Lanning is excited at what he has seen so far this season. First, he took over the team just days before it began practice, and has been busy just getting to know the players and their strengths. "I'm new to the program, and new to these players," he said. "We had to start from ground zero. We have a base, and now we have to start to move on." The base, if you will, was built in part through the first 3.5 games of the season.
No matter the level, there's one thing football coaches from across the country stress: running the football on offense and stopping the run on defense. Hastings had trouble doing both on Friday night, and ended up losing in its season opener, 35-0, to White Bear Lake. Hastings, dealing with all kinds of injuries in the backfield, had 39 yards of rushing offense. White Bear, meanwhile, piled up 280 yards on the ground. "We couldn't run the ball and we couldn't stop the run," coach Dana Strain said. "That was the story of the game. We have to do a better job there.
The Hastings Hawks are still alive at the state amateur baseball tournament, but making it back into the winner's bracket will be no easy feat. Hastings lost to Shakopee on Saturday but held on Sunday afternoon to beat Sauk Rapids. That means the Hawks will have to win three games this weekend to stay alive and get back into the winner's bracket. The first of those three games will come at 3:30 p.m. Saturday against Dundas. If Hastings loses, they are out of the tournament. If they win, they play again at 1 p.m. Sunday and then at 3:30 p.m.
Through two weeks of the Hastings High School girls tennis season, the Raiders have a solid 4-2 record. At Friday's annual Hastings invitational, again a triangular this year, Hastings split its matches, beating Woodbury and then losing in a close match to a strong Rosemount team. Vs Woodbury Hastings cruised to an 8-0 win over Woodbury during the annual Hastings tournament Friday. At first singles, Lindsey Reinisch defeated Louisa Schunemann, 6-1, 6-0. At second singles, Kirsten Peterson defeated Hannah Robbins, 6-3, 6-3. At third singles, Morgan Tjomsland beat Michaela Anderson, 6-1, 6
There's nothing like a 3-mile race through streams and mud to kick off the season. For the Hastings Raiders cross country teams, that's exactly what they faced last week in River Falls at the annual extreme meet held there. The long course and wild conditions showed Hastings coach John Dewall one very important thing: just how fit his athletes are, or aren't. "You can't fake being out-of-shape in a race like that," Dewall said. "It is the toughest race of the year. There is no doubt. You're running through water. You have wet shoes.
When the Hastings girls swim team takes to the pool deck this fall, there will be plenty of room left for the opposing team. Hastings graduated a big senior class and will have 21 swimmers on the team this fall. Stillwater, meanwhile, will have many times that. "You look at Stillwater, they have five times as many kids as we do," Hastings coach Katie McAlpin said. "We just can't beat them. We don't have enough people. But I've never been one of those people who is like, 'We have to win this meet.' I'm always looking at, 'What did we get out of it?
This year's Hastings High School girls tennis team will look a lot like last year's. And that's a good thing. All 10 of Hastings' top players from last fall's very competitive team return this year. "They were good last year, and we have another year of experience," Hastings coach Craig Raway said. "It's going to be fun. Everyone worked really hard this summer to be sure we have a good year. The captains were instrumental in making sure everyone played during the summer." Last year's team advanced in the section tournament before falling to Rochester Mayo in the quarterfinals.

Since the mail server is on the same machine as Spiceworks, I'm not sure where the connection is failing. Can someone help me troubleshoot?

The Effects Of Snake Venom On The Human Body
-Anatomy of a snake's mouth
-Types of Toxins
(The Circulatory System)
Anatomy Of A snakes Mouth
-These toxins in the venom affect the nervous system and cause paralysis of the muscles and limbs. The venoms of many snakes have this effect, which may take several hours to become apparent.
(The Nervous System)
(The Muscle System)
-These toxins break down muscles by digesting them. This means that proteins leak into the kidneys, causing kidney failure, and brown coloured urine. The potassium that is released from the muscle can lead to heart failure.
-Some toxins eat away tissues and blood cells. They can cause blood clots, leading to heart failure or they can prevent the blood from clotting so the patient suffers severe bleeding or haemhorraging at the wound site.
(The Skin)
These toxins cause the death of skin cells and living tissues at the bite site.
This causes severe pain, local inflammation and scarring of the skin
Types of toxins
Antivenom (or antivenin or antivenene) is a biological product used in the treatment of venomous bites. Antivenom is created by milking venom from the desired snake.
The venom is then diluted and injected into an animal.
The subject animal will undergo an immune response to the venom, producing antibodies against the venom's active molecule which can then be harvested from the animal's blood and used to treat envenomation.

Chapter III: Lady Evil, page 1Mature
Chapter III: Lady Evil
A thin snow started to fall, flakes frolicking in the air, as the sunset took a blueish hue, a sign of the cold times to come. To survive a winter in London, one had to be very tough... or British. Rebecca didn't feel the cold. Not only had she lived in London her whole life, she was also wearing a magic suit that kept her protected from the chill winds.
Staring at the sun, keeping herself straight and tensed in the middle of the rooftop she used as a practice ground, she raised her sword slowly, inhaled deeply, and exhaled in a burst as her arm waved gracefully to slash through the falling snowflakes. She turned around, slashed sideways, performed a perfect parry, then turned the blade around her wrist and thrust behind her. She kept fighting against snowflakes, twirling around like a dancer, her stances, her parries, the way she held the sword, everything, each of her movements, was calculated and carefully rehearsed. On moments like this, she would surprise herself thinking back about her fight with Nigel Moorcock, how easily he had defeated her, she who back then was waving her sword around with the grace of a toddler learning to walk. A few weeks had passed, and now she was completely different. Trained. Confident. She had spent hours on that rooftop, learning to tame the armour's power, to control her newfound abilities.
And hours reading books on swordsmanship. That's where she learned that her weapon, a double-edged blade that was about thirty inches long and engraved with ancient motifs that seemed to be in both Celtic and Latin, was a slight variation of a Roman sword called a "spatha", and it was meant to be used with one arm. She got the theory right but the practice had been a little awkward for the first few hours. Eventually, though, she had learned to use her shoulder, elbow and wrist properly in order to manipulate the weapon with grace, while learning to keep her free hand raised in front of her head, ready to deflect any blow with her forearm.
The armour, too, was a wonder that took her some time to get used to. It seemed to be made of some shiny white metal, but she had never seen anything like this, for if it was quite thick and sturdy, while thinner and more flexible at the joints, and there were no plates or gloves or boots, it seemed to be all made of a single piece of metal. Yet it was as flexible as it was solid, and she could move as easily as if she were wearing nothing, the thinner parts on the joints fit her as tightly as spandex. It wasn't a metal of this world. It was magic.
And this was how she had spent most of her spare time since the mayhem at King's College, going straight to the library after school to do her homework and some reading, then climbing to her favourite rooftop, changing into her knight form, doing some training, going home for dinner, and then, if she wasn't tired yet, like tonight, sneaking out and going back on that rooftop to do some more training. This was getting old. The more she trained, she more she felt a fire inside of her, an urge to try her newfound skills in a real fight. She wondered if that spirit she didn't have before came from the Cross. The first time she really connected with it, she had experienced all the memories and knowledge of the previous Bearers through history. And in a flash, it was all gone. But perhaps their skills and spirits, instead of breezing away from her, had moved to a more subconscious level, allowing her to learn to fight so quickly, and burning her soul with a warrior's courage. But what good was a warrior without a war? After Father de Sainte Croix passed away, she had returned to the presbitery where he slept and found some of his notes, but they wouldn't tell her what to do, where to go from here. So she would watch the news with diligence, trying to figure out if there were any paranormal event or something she could investigate on. She was so desperate she would even eavesdrop on conversations at school, but her classmates talked more about their boyfriends/girlfriends, movies and sports, than about being stalked by a vampire or a werewolf, or having seen a ghost. Weeks passed and nothing happened, and the Cross, always sitting snug on her chest, seemed to reflect a mocking light at her questions, as if to say: you figure this out, big girl.

Have You Heard Of Sun Gazing? Find Out What It Is And How To Do It!
The sun gives life to almost all beings on this beautiful planet we call Earth, including ourselves. We wouldn't be here without the sun and we certainly wouldn't survive long without it. The sun is responsible for the process called photosynthesis, which keeps plants alive, and growing, which in turn keeps those animals that eat those plants alive, and the animals that eat them. The sun also provides our bodies

In the final match of the women's doubles quarter-final tie with Japan, the Danish duo lost to Misaki Matsutomo and Ayaka Takahashi 19-21, 21-7, 21-19. That gave Japan a 3-2 victory over Denmark en route to the final, which they then lost to China.
Thygesen did give Denmark their first point in the Japan encounter, teaming with Mads Pieler Kolding to win mixed doubles. Viktor Axelsen and Kjaesfeldt lost in the men's and women's singles, respectively before Kim Astrup and Kolding won at men's doubles to set up the final chance for Kjaesfeldt and Thygesen.
The two women are the only two of the Danish team at the Sudirman Cup in Dongguan, China who will also compete at the Baku 2015 European Games - Kjaesfeldt in women's singles and Thygesen in mixed doubles with Niclas Nøhr.
Denmark failed to make the semi-finals of the biennial Badminton spectacle for just the fourth time in 14 events and for the first time since 2009. The Danes have never won the title though they secured second places in 1999 and in 2011.
The only other European team in the quarters was Germany, who appeared at the Sudirman Cup with no Baku-bound players and lost 3-0 to eventual champions China in the final eight. England and Russia both failed to get out of group play.

Mary's got a very holy bun in the oven, but Joseph's having none of it. Cue the gab...I mean, fabulous Angel Gabriel to clear things up for them. Surely nothing can go off plan when an Angel Of The Lord is present?
"Look, dammit Joseph, I'm not lying!"
Mary had tried to explain to him, she really had. But now it was just a shouting match, and Joseph was having none of her nonsense.
"You were a virgin when you married me! And now...pregnant? Come on! If it were really some sort of miracle, why did only tell me now?"
"I only just found out!"
"What, after your blood hadn't shown up after a few months? Come off it, Mary!"
Mary thought back with a twinge of guilt to her night of passion with that one stable-keep. And that other one...and that other... Anyway, it had been something of a relief when an angel told her she didn't have to worry about it. It was God's problem now. What a miracle that was.
"Seriously, look. He said he'd come help me out if I needed him, so I'll just call him down now, shall I?"
Joseph shot her a withering look. This whole wedding-the-teenage-virgin thing had been a palava from the start. Which idiot ever thought that marrying someone with hormone peaks higher than The Tower Of Babel was a good idea?
"You're just going to call down an angel to sort it out?"
Mary paused a moment.
"...That's the plan, yes."
They stood across from each other, each with arms crossed.
"Well, go on then," Joseph dared.
Mary glared at him, then turned to the sky, feeling a bit awkward. She raised her arms- more for feeling like she ought to than anything.
At that moment, a great light shone from the sky. The dark carpet of the stars seemed to open up and from it emerged a smoke, and a figure.
It was almost like the transformation sequence from Stars In Their Eyes.
"You can put your arms down now, honey, I'm an Angel Of The Lord, not Airport Security. And honestly, is it that hard to remember? It's Gabriel. I know I'm effeminate, but come on."
Mary's cheeks blushed.
"Think nothing of it, love."
(It's worth noting here that in Heaven, time doesn't operate as on Earth. So Angels and God Himself have a knowledge of all of the Divine Timeline of Fate. In short, God can watch an episode of Eastenders whilst killing time between the Dark Ages. And the Angel Gabriel can know of the that Hell exists on Earth in the form of Airport Security.)
He descended to the ground slowly, in a glittering, pink haze of light. He was good looking with flowing golden hair, and you would swear that as he drifted down he carried the faint scent of Tresemme with him.
"So-o-o...," Gabriel clicked his tongue, hand on one hip, as he looked Joseph up and down. "This is the hunk of a guy you married. Joseph, nice to meet you. I'm the Angel Gabriel."
He held out a hand to a more than confused Joseph, who took it, looking rather bewildered as he did. At this point, Gabriel's prying eyes spotted Joseph's footwear. He leapt back with a yip.
"Oh, dear merciful Lord...socks with sandals? Really?"
Joseph looked sheepish.
"Uh, yeah."
"That's basically a sin, hon. I was betting on God forbidding that one in the Ten Commandments. Simply won't do for the step-daddy of God's son".
Gabriel turned on one heel, away from him. When he'd come down to explain the whole thing to Mary, they'd had quite the girly gossip about her husband. But he'd never quite expected that.
"Mary, Mary. Enchante, as ever.," he kissed both Mary's cheeks. She giggled.
Joseph flushed. He was the man around here, he wasn't to be put down by this pansy...Angel.
"Yeah, look, about that. What's this about my wife having your God's son?"
Gabriel turned back to Joseph, raising a perfectly plucked eyebrow. Was that mascara on his lashes, too?
"Your God's son, too, darling. The Holy Spirit came upon her, and the power of the Most High overshadowed her, yada yada. Basically, she's up the duff with God's kid. And you get to play Daddy. So make a good job of it, we're aiming Up There to not raise one with Daddy Issues."
Mary, unnoticed to Joseph, also raised an eyebrow. If God had been the last she'd had in bed, he definitely, uh...overshadowed...Joseph.
The Holy Spirit came upon her alright, thought Joseph.
"I know it's all very hard for you, but hey, think of the royalties! You'll be remembered until the end of days for bringing the Messiah into existence."
"The...'Messiah'?" puzzled Joseph.
"Yes, hon. The King Of The World. Etcetera."
"And...I'm supposed to just...go with it?"
"That's...kind of the plan. Yes."
"What if I'm not ready to be a Dad?," he roared, "What do we even call the...son of God?".
Gabriel pressed a perfectly-manicured palm to his forehead. Mortals were a pain to deal with sometimes.
"Jesus Christ...look, it's all part of the big plan. Can you please just accept that?"
"What kind of name is 'Jesus Christ'?"
Gabriel stumbled. Shit. That wasn't how it was meant to go. That was supposed to be the name of Satan's son, hence why people used it to cuss with.
"Jesus...what a lovely name," breathed Mary.
Dammit. God wasn't going to be best pleased. He'd been rather set on calling him "Brian".
"Yeah, okay. Urm. Look, I have a pre-tty tight schedule. I kind of have to go now." Gabriel started to back away. Maybe God would lend him the Flux Capacitor, he could go back and fix this whole naming mess.
"But, wait! You've only just started to explain!," cried Joseph.
"It's...all you need to know! You know God, always seeing, always knowing, always vague. Ha...ha."
"Gabriel! I must know...why us? What made him choose us?"
The Angel almost rolled his eyes. Mortals, so attention seeking, so set on feeling wanted and chosen. He told God he should've been there to watch them grow up, then maybe they wouldn't all have the abandonment issues that spawned the like of Camus and Satre.
(All the same, he couldn't break their little hopeful hearts and tell them that their place in history had been won by chance. God had had a busy day, so left the Angels to decide on which couple would be the lucky ones. With no better ideas and an excuse to gamble, they settled on a Roulette Wheel with each candidate couple representing a number.)
(Gabriel lost a lot of money that night.)
"...it was, urm. Your strong moral fibre". That wouldn't be enough, he thought. "And your good looks."
Both Mary and Joseph looked quite pleased. There, that ought to satiate them.
"Well, duckies. Time I was off, I think."
Beam me up, thought Gabriel, and so it was that he began floating upwards once more.
Mortals, thought Gabriel as he drifted up, watching Mary and Joseph wave from below. God really does work in mysterious ways. I wouldn't trust them with my children.

The post is continuing to accept unserviceable flags until ceremony time. For more information call Leon Helmke at 629-1252. School Immunizations The Comal County Health Department announces its schedule for immunizing children and adults prior to the beginning of school. Through Aug. 22, all walk-in immunization clinics will be at the Knight's of Columbus Hall across from the main entrance to Landa Park. The clinics will be held each Tuesday and Thursday from 9-11 a.m. and 1-4 p.m. Tuesday clinics will be for all ages. Thursday clinics arc reserved for individuals at least four years of age.

CISD To have an item listed in Slam-mtUch, contact Jamne Green or Stephanie Ferguson at 625-9144 Continued from Page 1 to cover budget items when the tax rate was set too low to fund the budget. The board also approved out-ofdistrict student transfers. These arc students who live outside of the district but want to attend CISD. "At some point we have to ask ourselves 'how much is too much?'," said Trustee Jim Middleton. "In tough budget times we have to make these decisions. My point is that when we're down to telling teachers they can't go to out of district training, and we're cutting the shuttle — everything has to be looked at." "I feel like we're approving transfers that would not be approved by TEA," said Trustee Tom Potter. "This isn't fair to families." Each family receives a letter explaining that if the TEA docs not approve a transfer that the students must return to the school they arc supposed to be attending. Board President Lee Ikels said. "Most of the students we approve live right on the district borderline," Trustee Leroy Goodson said. "Here's a youngster who's been at this school since kindergarten and is now in eleventh grade — it's a special request. Are you going to cut him out now?" Approval of out-of-district transfers passed on a 5-2 vote with Ikels, Goodson, Hays, Craighead and Cantu voting for. Potter and Middleton voted against. After an executive session of over an hour, trustees confirmed the transfer of Ken Rotzler to the position of basketball coach of Canyon High School. After the meeting, trustees toured the new Bill Brown Elementary School which will open next week.

Insured depositors of Executive Council Continued from Pago I tive session 4 The bill prohibits permits to commercial hazardous waste facilities located within one-half mile of an established residence, church, school, day-care center, dedicated park or body of surface water used for public drinking water. Securing a Future Environment (SAFE), opponents of the Lafarge plan, say three residences are located within a half-mile of the cement kiln and would kill the plan under 1099, according to a survey they commissioned. Lafarge Corporation and its subsidiary, Systech Environmental Corporation, have applied for permits from the Texas Water Commission and the Texas Air Control Board to proceed with the altemative-fuels plan at the Balcones Heights plant just outside the city limits. The second resolution, approved by a 5-2 vote, calls for a ban on city purchase of raw cement from any company or manufacturer that bums hazardous waste as a fuel in its manufacturing process. Mayor James Goodbread, Mayor Pro Tem Ramon Chapa and Council Members Rudy Seidel, Bill Arnold and Paul Fraser voted in favor of the measure. Council Members Clinton Brandt and Loraine Kraft voted against, saying they preferred wording giving current and future city councils a choice in such purchases. "I made the point some time ago that 30 years ago we thought that asbestos was the greatest thing in the world, but we've come to find out that it's not," Fraser said. "We may find out down the line that cement produced using hazardous and toxic waste may become a similar dilemma." In its third resolution, the council unanimously asked the Texas Municipal League to support Senate Bill 1099 and to oppose any future amendments in upcoming legislative sessions. Also, the council unanimously approved the first reading of an ordinance extending the city's hotel-motcl occupancy tax on hotel facilities located in the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction. A recent change in state law allows the city to extend the tax, Grohman said. The only two facilities Grohman said he knew of that would be affected are the T Bar M and the John Ncwcombe tennis ranches, which have agreed to be annexed by the end of this year. Banc can automatically continue to conduct business transactions with Victoria Bank. They should, however, visit the institution during the next several weeks to discuss continuation of specific services. In the interim, all check drawn on Executive Banc's accounts will continue to be honored. In June, Victoria assumed control of First Federal Savings of New Braunfels, taking over offices in New Braunfels, Wimberley, San Marcos and Canyon Lake. Executive Banc was founded in 1984 and had 1,400 deposit accounts totaling $11 million. The institution had assets of $ 11.6 million and liabilities of $ 11.1 million, McUsic said. The bank reopened Monday as an office of Victoria Bank. Victoria Bank will pay a premium to the RTO of $1,000 and will buy about $700,000 worth of furniture and equipment in the deal. Victoria Banc was the only institution to place a formal bid, McUsic said. The RTC will advance $10.3 million to the acquirer and retain $10.9 million of the closed institutions assets. The ultimate cost to the RTC for this transaction is estimated to be $4.2 million, McUsic said. With the former Executive Banc office, Victoria now has locations in New Braunfels at 1000 N. Walnut, 199 Main Plaza and 555 W. Interstate 35. Customers of Victoria Bank and Trust can obtain service at any of the bank's locations around the state. The bank operates in smaller cities and has no operations in large metropolitan areas, according to T.L. Walker, president of Victoria Bank and Trust-New Braunfels. Printout Paper White.

The District I representative said he plans to lobby other members of the City Council during an upcoming retreat to place a significant bond issue before the voters. "We have to keep up with some type of improvements, lf not, it could become impossible to do any repairs in the long run because the roads would be so badly out of shape,'' Chapa said. He requests that residents call and if necessary leave a message for him at the Municipal Building, 625-3425, with road-improvement suggestions. Chapa said he has no estimated total for a proposed bond issue at this point and will wait for input from the community and the council, which has not formally agreed to the suggestion. "We're going to have to be very careful because there might be some kind of tax increase generated through this, but I want to keep it to a minimum," he said. Jan'.

Dell prepares to slash San prices

This Article Covers
Dell is to deliver cheaper storage area network systems to attract SMEs that do not want the expense of existing Fibre Channel gear.
"We are working on a program for a sub-entry platform that will continue to drive cost out of entry-level San configurations," said Russ Holt, vice president enterprise engineering in Dell's Product Group. Holt declined to give more details about the future product as it has yet to be announced officially.

Two weeks ago, Dell announced delivery of EMC's three new Clariion arrays and its manufacture of the low-end CX300. Dell will now introduce another product below that, backing up speculative reports of an EMC CX100 which would have a lower capacity than the CX300's maximum 13.4TB but still using ATA drives.
"Dell is developing new next-generation disc storage arrays that employ Serial ATA," said Holt. "Recently, customers have requested Serial ATA storage arrays that employ external array-based Raid - as opposed to host-based Raid.
"Responding to these requests, Dell will introduce a Dell/EMC Serial ATA disc storage array (known as the AX100) with integrated array-based Raid in Q2 of CY2004. We expect other major OEMs to introduce competing offerings roughly at the same time."
Holt added that aligning with the San platform is delivery of a low-cost HBA solution and a low-cost switch solution, giving amuch lower cost-of entry for complete Sans. He said the arrival of Serial ATA discs was a driving factor.
Dell has reduced the cost/GB of San storage by 70% since it started selling products in late 2001. It wants to drive cost out of the San infrastructure and sees viable alternative suppliers for HBAs - such as Emulex and QLogic - and switches (Brocade Communications Systems and McData).

The Vanity of Lovers
He loosened her hair from its topknot so that it cascaded over her shoulders in a torrent of black silk.
"No, don't," she protested halfheartedly, her glowing face wreathed in smiles.
His eyes glided over the sheen and surface of her mane. A fragrance wafted upwards as he ran his hands through her hair. A scent of anonymous blossoms, a scent from a foreign land. He longed to learn its language.
If he had to pin it down, if he had to set a name to the fragrance, he would say that it was a mixture of cinnamon and gardenias. Spices that cried of fire, flowers that whispered love. A glorious marriage of scents. He closed his eyes, inhaling it in. He said her name. He breathed it into her raven locks. Catherine.
"What do you like best about me?" she asked one night as they lay in bed, pulling away so that she could look up into his eyes. The vanity of lovers. Wanting him to put into words the very things she prided in herself. She was young still and her years were not fully ripe on her yet. Not quite woman but not fully child, she faltered on the edge of maturity.
She was in that stage of youth where one is in love with their physicality. Unknowingly infatuated with her body, she had the habit of twining her hair through her fingers, and as she did it now, the lamplight caught the glowing embers that hid in her mane of black. He watched, mesmerized.
"I can only pick one thing?"
"Yes. Tell me what you like most about me."
"Well, if I had to pick one thing..."
"Yes, yes, what would it be?"
"Your hair, of course."
"Because it ... it holds your beauty."
She giggled, suddenly abashed, and lowered her head to hide her face, her curtain of hair falling over scarlet cheeks. He leaned forward and immersed himself in it, sinking into its weight.
It was difficult to put into words what he loved most about her. It was beyond language, beyond all common sentiment. What he loved most about her hair perhaps had more to do with him than her; he loved wrapping it around his wrists, he loved when it got in the way of kisses, he loved how it seemed like an entity all to itself, when she was asleep and he lay awake, watching her. His hands tangled in the endless vines of her hair. It almost seemed to breathe in those moments.
He kept his eyes open that night to watch the tiny fireworks of static electricity dance within her hair. It was past midnight, when lovers are either bending forward in frantic embraces or sliding down with gravity and exhaustion into their beds of goose-down. Still he kept his eyes open, watching the theater of expressions that played over her face during slumber. Her mouth moved to silent words, her eyebrows rose upwards as if in argument. But her hair was what was most alive about her in those moments, more than her features, more than her unconscious limbs. It seemed to move in that half-light, stretching out over the white pillows like a dark tide.
He drowned in it almost every single night so that a month passed and he was pale with lack of sleep. But he kept this hidden from her, and she could not understand why he was sluggish and exhausted during the day, nor the reason for the blue half-moons underneath his bloodshot eyes.
"Did you sleep well, my love?" she would ask, and soon her asking became routine, always followed by the echo of his reply:
"I slept well, my love."
Night after night it was the same. Sometimes they made love, and the shadows stretched along the wall in synch with the pulse and tremor of their bodies. Always at the climax, he would grab her hair, pulling her neck back in the moment of his arousal so that she could not breathe. Always after love, she would sink into sleep, her head at his stomach, and his eyes would remain unclosed, unblinking, watching the seasons of night pass over her hair.
One night during love, he pulled her hair back rather viciously, with more strength than he had intended, and the cry she had ready to let loose died within her throat. She fell backwards, hitting the wall with a dull thud, her neck at an impossible angle. Her blue eyes staring to the side, staring at nothing at all.
"Catherine." He said her name. He breathed it into the night to make it true. But she did not respond.
He raised her head and looked into the face of the woman he loved and saw that she was dead, and he knew he was the reason for it. Already her lips were turning blue.
"Catherine, Catherine!" And then, in a hushed whisper that was almost inaudible, "What have I done..."
He knelt on the floor next to the bed, watching the last ounce of warmth and breath escape her body, willing her to come back. But a final shiver coursed through her, and a sigh like a dark bird flew out from her mouth. Her soul had winged away from him too, and now he was alone with his grief and his guilt.
Mad with his grief and guilt, he got into bed with her, pulling her limp arms around him, forcing her body to respond to his. He held her in a cold embrace and her hair fell forward over his arms. It was warm still! Wonder of wonders, he swore he could hear it breathe, he felt it move. Only her hair was alive now, and it ran on nimble feet into his hands, over his arms. He laughed out in delight as it reached forward to touch his face, stretching out like a paw.
His laughter turned quickly to a gasp of shock as her hair moved up past his arms and closed vise-like around his neck. It tightened its grip until he could no longer breathe. He struggled to free himself but he couldn't, and he felt the strength waning from his body, he felt his eyes grow dim.
With the last breath he had left he said her name: "Catherine." Then he sank down into the bed next to her, into the stillness that comes only after the last filament of life has left one completely, as the first rays of light stretched out like starfish fingers across the sky. They lit up the room, changing the shadows to colors, chasing away the dark, making it seem like her hair had caught on fire.

The graduate's guide to assessment centres
Assessment centres are a regular feature of the recruitment process for graduate schemes. Employers bring together a group of candidates who complete a series of exercises, tests and interviews that are designed to evaluate their suitability for graduate jobs within the organisation. This format makes it much easier for you to showcase a broader range of skills and competences than you would have opportunity to demonstrate in an interview. For this reason they are a much fairer and more effective way to select graduates than traditional interviews.
Typical graduate assessment centre activities
Graduate employers design their own assessment centres to test for skills and aptitudes that are right for their own organisations, but they typically contain similar elements and exercises. As well as interviews you could expect to do a combination of group work exercises, presentations, aptitude and psychometric tests, in-tray/e-tray exercises, or case studies linked to the job function. Employers will also give you the opportunity to find out more about them and to meet with current employees.
What recruiters and assessors look for
Recruiters assess candidates for a number of things including how you demonstrate core graduate skills and competences such as communication, teamwork and problem solving. The group setting also makes it much easier for them to assess how well you work with others, how you influence and persuade, and how others respond to you. The assessors will want to see how you react to different situations, much as you would have to in the job itself.
Assessment centres aren't about survival of the fittest. Always remember that you are being assessed against the employer's criteria and not against the other candidates. You need to find a way to work together with your 'colleagues' to achieve the goals and tasks set.
How you can succeed at graduate assessment centres
Turn up with an open mind and be ready to get involved, but remember that some standard, practical preparation before the day will be your biggest help and confidence booster.
Use your careers service. Most careers services run practice sessions for assessment centres. At the very least you may be able to practise psychometric tests or book sessions to prepare for the individual assessment centre activities, such as group exercises.
Practise psychometric tests online.
Read carefully all the literature the employer sends you. As well as practical information about the date, location and start time it should also tell you how the day will be structured.
Check whether or not you will have to complete any tasks before the day. You may need to work on parts of a case study or put together a presentation. Plan time for this and don't leave it until the last minute.
Revise your employer research. Revisit the research you did for your application and go back to the employer's website to check whether they provide any tips for assessment centre candidates. If you are unsure of what is expected of you, contact the recruiter as soon as possible.
Brush up on your interview technique. Interviews will be included in the format so be ready to shine for the bits where you go solo.
Be self aware. To succeed at assessments you need to be aware, flexible and responsive. Don't attempt to force your personality on the situation. Be yourself, but be aware that ultra-competitive behaviour can easily come across as arrogance. And if you are too shy to speak your qualities won't be assessed.
Don't be late on the day Punctuality is the first part of the test!

Study: Student Attitudes on Studying With Tech
October 18, 2016
College students strongly believe digital learning technology and devices have a positive impact on their educational outcomes, a study by McGraw-Hill Education and Hanover Research found. The 2016 Digital Study Trends Survey, an annual survey of students on their attitudes toward technology in the classroom, also found a steady increase in the number of students who say smartphones and other mobile devices are "extremely important" to studying. The share of respondents giving that answer has this year risen to 22 percent, up from just 13 percent in 2014. Other findings include:
- A majority of students said technology makes studying more accessible (82 percent), helps them earn better grades (81 percent) and improves their focus (62 percent).
- Cost remains a barrier to technology use. Less than two-fifths of students (39 percent) said they would buy technology not required for a course, even if it was recommended.
- The laptop remains the No. 1 device for studying; 90 percent of students said the device is extremely or very helpful, easily beating professors and teaching assistants (72 percent), textbooks (67 percent), and learning management systems (63 percent).
Hanover Research surveyed 3,311 students, ranging from freshmen to Ph.D. students, for the study. The full report is available for download here.
