█ Dear whomever it may concern,
High school is indeed a difficult time for youth. It's a time to prepare for your journey into the
real world. It is a time of great frustrations and changes but we know that for you there are
more changes happening than what your peers might face. Changes that no human could ever
We hope that you come to enjoy your stay at Teras academy. The entire faculty understands the
hardships that one must face at your age on a normal basis. And when you add supernatural
abilities… it can get rather rough. Which is exactly why the staff does everything they can to
make this experience, this transition, a good one. Now, we do ask that you arrive a day before
the start of classes and get situated. Some of you have requested keys sent to you prior to your
departure for Teras, but for those who did not, we ask that you head to the main office and ask
the secretary for your dorm key and assignments.
████████████████████████████████████████████████ Sincerely,
████████████████████████████████████████████████ Headmistress

█ While Teras Academy is meant to be a high school for supernatural beings something isn't
quite right. Most schools fill students' heads with knowledge before sending them off to the real
world but that's not the only thing that seems to go on at this academy. The teachers pass on
what they know to their students during classes but when the bell rings and the rest of the day
is in the students' hands? Well, things seem to go amiss. Why, one day the students woke up as
the opposite gender! And less than a month after that the found themselves behaving
differently than they normally would. Just what is it with this academy? Is there a mysterious
springs far below the surface, leaking it's twisted magic into the school? Or are the teachers not
as innocent as they look?
Only time will tell...

l i t e r a c y
█ this is a lazy literate roleplay
█ posting minimum is 250 words
█ use proper grammar & no one liners
My hopes for this roleplay is to keep it simple. I don't want to spend hours writing posts nor do I want to spend hours reading them. While I wish for relaxed posts I don't want quality to be sacrificed as well. Please only join if you can create interesting characters, develop them, and further the plot. Things should be interesting and fun ; without stress from a high minimum word count. Being able to use proper grammar is also important so that others can read and understand your post but I'm not going to be a huge stickler for it. English isn't everyone's first language. I will be strict about anyone who posts one liners. You cannot further a plot and develop your character (or their relationships) in a single line.
p o s t i n g
█ required posts a week? one
█ if you're going to be gone let everyone know by posting in the ooc
█ pretty posts required? just an image, name, and race.
█ no page stretching images, no blinding font colors, and no icon images
█ post in third person past and avoid large font sizes
█ ooc to be kept in the ooc thread or at the end of your post if needed
█ cursing is allowed, but not every other word ; limit it
Being a college student myself I understand that life can get stressful, especially this time of year, and I understand that being required to post an excessive amount of times a week is stressful. I am a serious believer that roleplaying should be fun and without stress, thus I only want a post a week. But I am not going to be a stickler about that either. I'm not your babysitter. You are responsible for yourself and your posts. Of course, if I don't hear from you in, say 2 weeks, I will quote you in the ooc or send you a PM and make sure you are still interested. Please do not hesitate to say no; I'd rather the roleplay be filled with those who have time for it than those who feel horrible that they don't. As for posts themselves? I enjoy simplicity so I only demand a picture of your character (no page stretching and no icons), their name, and their race. Anything else you add is your choice. Though, please make sure that the amount of text in your format doesn't outweigh your post. I don't enjoy hunting for the only section I am interested in. It should go without saying, but I will say it anyhow, please no blinding font colors. Speaking text should be "bolded" and in your choice of color. Thinking text should be "italicized". Colors optional.
c h a r a c t e r s
█ no mary sues or gary stus ; make your characters flawed
█ anime pictures only ; no semi-realism
█ this roleplay takes place in america
█ keep things diverse ; I don't want 100+ a*****e characters and 1 nerd… okay?
I am tired of school based roleplays that get overrun by one type of character. There are so many types of people in the world and I'd like for that to be shown in this roleplay. Not everyone has had a difficult past, not everyone has an overly optimistic outlook on life, and not everyone is stronger than everyone else. Which is the reason for the powers & weaknesses section of the profile. What is listed there are the only powers that should be used in the roleplay. This is to try and place limits on all characters and allow for more even fighting. At least that is my hope. I am going to be a stickler on the images as well too. I know it seems a little a*****e-ish but I'm tired of seeing the same 10 or so images used in barton town. Find interesting character designs, interesting images, ones that aren't usual. Perhaps an image will spark an interesting idea.
p r o f i l e s
█ no reserves… just send the profile please.
█ if you are denied ; act like an adult and move on
█ fill out the profile completely, correctly, or go away
█ I am the only one to post the profiles in the profile thread
█ maximum number of characters per person ; n/a
█ at least one of them must be male
█ match your character's picture to their personality
█ title your profile PM ; "Teras Academy Cadet" or it'll be ignored
Typically I demand reserves first to see if a character is one that could add to the roleplay before making the roleplayer go through the extensive profile but since the profile is short I will not be doing that this time. I am also putting trust into those who apply. If you know you aren't at a competent level, or you can't get away from massively clichéd characters, it is on you not to apply. I will still be checking samples, of course, but I can only check grammar, spelling, and literacy from samples. Essentially what I am saying is that I trust you to only apply if you know you are capable of handling what I have listed in this post or not applying if you know you cannot. I will allow an unlimited number of characters per person but please only take on a high number if you can handle them all. Again, I am not a babysitter. It has been written above but I want to say it again, please oh please, fill the profile out complete and correctly! I will not tell you if the coding has been messed up, you missed something, etc. It is on you to do that. Rushing a profile is never a good thing. In fact, there shouldn't be a reason for you to rush. I will add more characters if needed. So please take your time.
c o n d u c t
█ follow gaia's terms of service
█ no cybering so use time skips ; PG-14
█ make fights fair ; if you need help deciding who wins? roll dice in the ooc
█ keep the drama in the ic ; keep it the hell out of my ooc
Gaia's T.o.s should be followed as well. Cybering is not allowed in the roleplay, so use time skips or fade to black, and it is not allowed in the private message system. If you need to read those sorts of scenes go to fanfiction.com or fictionpress.net. There are other ways of developing character relations; use them. Also, I do not want to have people getting into actual arguments in the ooc over who wins a fight. If you cannot come to an agreement roll dice. And if, by some stupid logic, that doesn't work I'll do it for you. Now, if you don't think you can play fair in terms of fights then I kindly ask that you don't join. Better to avoid an argument than to have one happen that ruins the fun, yes?
b a s i c s
█ no insta - romance ; it's not realistic at all
█ remember, this is a school! teachers do roam around at random
█ there is no such thing as claiming characters
█ just because you talk to someone first does not make them yours
█ please add drama ; any minor plot twists are allowed
█ major ones need to be approved by me
█ PM me if you are unsure about your idea
Anyone who's roleplayed with me long enough knows exactly how much I hate insta-romance. It is not realistic, it is not fun, it doesn't allow for any sort of character development, and it gets on my nerves. So don't do it. Relationships don't just happen. They evolve! No one falls in love with someone without knowing anything about them. Animes don't count. I will also not tolerate claiming characters. Just because you spoke to someone first doesn't mean that person is destined to be yours. Nor do they have to. As such I am going to be a little pissed if an excessive amount of plotting happens. You are free to form friendships and pasts between characters and future events, on occasion, but I will not tolerate a s**t load of plotting. It can ruin roleplays, I've seen it happen. As such please feel free to come up with plot twists. You are only required to get my approval if it will affect the entire roleplay/everyone else.
c l a r i f i c a t i o n
█ I, f r o y o__ DEUX, am in charge
█ respect everyone in the roleplay ; new and old
█ PM me if you have any questions or post a comment in the ooc
█ I have the right to add or change rules as I see fit
I will not tolerate fighting or drama in the ooc. If you disagree with someone leave it at that. Agree to disagree. Don't argue, don't belittle someone else, and don't start arguments for any reason. Roleplays are like family. There will be people that get on your nerves, people who you adore, and people who have different opinions than yourself. But just like a family (nondysfunctional) you are to accept it and let it be. I doubt that you'd tell your grandmother to go ******** herself or to suck your d**k. So don't do that here.

█ president; taken
█ vice president; taken
█ secretary; open
█ orchestrator; taken
█ freshman representative; taken
█ sophomore representative; taken
█ junior representative; taken
█ enforcer; taken
█ nurse's aid; taken & taken
█ president; (18 or 19) the head of the student body council. They alone hold the most power over the rest of the student body. They are popular and respected by many students. They were the ones who placed him in power after all.
xxxxx ➤ amaya emori
█ vice president; (17+) the second in command. They aren't as popular as the President, but they are damn close. When the President is absent they take over; though only for as long as the President is absent. They have high authority over everything just as the President does.
xxxxx ➤ scott white
█ secretary; (14+) the one who is responsible for all the data. They keep track of the school's funds for events, help plan such events, keep track of holidays/vacations, and are the ones to go to when you're looking for something in particular. They are also extremely social.
xxxxx ➤ open
█ orchestrator; (14+) the one in charge of all school events; fundraisers, carnivals, you name it, they control it. Although the council plans everything as a whole, the person who puts those plans into action is this guy. They make the flyers, get the catering, entertainment, and decorations, and turn it into the production it was planned to be. They're usually the most creative out of all the council members.
xxxxx ➤ sophie white
█ freshman representative; (14 or 15) exactly what their title means. They are the one who bring the issues facing the Freshman grade to the attention of the President, Vice President, and the rest of the council. They don't have much power, simply due to their spot on the grade food chain. But that doesn't stop them from speaking up in meetings.
xxxxx ➤ misora hihoo
█ sophomore representative; (15 or 16) the single voice speaking for the entire Sophomore grade. They bring the troubles of the Sophomore students to the lime-light during council meetings. They hold more power than the Freshman Rep. but they're still fairly low on the grade food chain. Not that that stops them from raising their voice to be heard.
xxxxx ➤ choi, jun hong
█ junior representative; (16 or 17) the hero of the Junior grade. They alert the council to the horrible issues plaguing the Junior class. Unlike the Freshman and Sophomore Representatives, they have little issue being heard. But they still face their share of problems when settling problems pertaining to the Junior students.
xxxxx ➤ kevin hwang
█ enforcer; (16+) the order keeper, or peace keeper. They are the ones who are feared by a majority of all the students at the school. They enforce the rules, laws, laid down by the Student Council. They are the ones who do the council's "dirty work". They aren't very social, considering they've busted almost every person at the school at some time or another.
xxxxx ➤ maurice bishop
█ nurse's aid; (14+) what school doesn't have an over worked nurse? The nurse's aid is the student who takes pity on the woman and chooses to help her out. They get to skip one period in their day and hang out in the nurse's office looking after students. Of course, they also have to help with inventory and other small tasks the nurse is supposed to take care of.
xxxxx ➤ kamra aitheria
xxxxx ➤ misora hihoo

█ sex ed day
█ homecoming dance
█ gender bender day
█ personality switch
█ family day
█ school fair
█ cultural festival
█ no uniform day
█ new year
█ valentine's day
█ masquerade ball
█ sleepover
█ chained together
█ cupid day
█ truth or dare
█ battle of the sexes
█ camping trip
█ sex ed day; uh oh. It seems as though the teachers have gotten it into their heads that students never received 'the talk' from their parents. They've scheduled a mass assembly for the day and are determined to fill students in. On every. Single. Detail. Oh, and the assembly is mandatory. Guess students should start preparing themselves for the uncomfortable tension that'll undoubtably come when they're all stuck inches apart in the auditorium.
█ homecoming dance; what's a school without a dance! The headmistress has been preparing this since the end of the previous year. In fact the ballroom has been decorated from top to bottom; streamers, balloons, punch… what's this? It seems as though some of the students have been suspiciously loitering around the punch bowl. Should the others be worried? Probably...
█ gender bender day; an explosion in the science department has caused a large purple fog to settle on the school grounds. Hey! What's this? Seems the students have fainted. Guess the nurse is over due for a little overtime- wait. It seems that the students… have suddenly switched genders? Oh this can't end well.
█ personality switch; another explosion from the science department? Not this time. It seems one of the teachers has gotten a little bored with the way the school's been acting. A little magic and suddenly the students are acting far from normal! They've all gone nuts. Quiet types are swearing and getting into trouble, jocks are cowering in fear from bunnies… Where's the headmistress when you need her?
█ family day; wasn't school supposed to be the place to get away from your family? Guess not. Apparently the headmistress has secretly invited parents, siblings, cousins, etc. to the school! Oh man, how are the students supposed to keep their dignity with great aunt sheila pinching their cheeks! Time to find those golden hiding places and put them to use.
█ school fair; there's a basketball team? When did we get a mathlete's team? And why did it take the school fair for them to be noticed? Seems like the headmistress thought a little publicity for the clubs at the school never hurt. Time to sign up for that one club you never knew about… what's the name? Chess club? Who knows. But it seems like it might be useful… maybe?
█ cultural festival; with students from all over the world what sort of a school could resist the cultural festival? Speeches from students explaining the political and economical factors to their countries, graphs with the number of immigrants- as if! It's time for a festival all about the culture of other countries. Food, games, and music selected by the students themselves to showcase where they come from. No reports in sight.
█ no uniform day; it's nothing fancy but who doesn't like a day free from that boring uniform? No mandatory skirts, no boring colors, no pants… Wait a minute. Hey! You don't have to wear your uniform today but you still have to wear clothes! Time to start writing kids up for streaking...
█ new year; looks like everyone made it through the first half of school. Time to celebrate with a day off. Along with a new years dance. But what is this? Seems the headmistress is up to something… Is that mistletoe? That can't be right. This isn't the holiday for that. What on earth are the teachers up to now?
█ valentine's day; also known as singles awareness day. Uh oh. What's this card taped to my door? A date? Set up by the staff? There's no way this can end well... Wasn't this supposed to be a normal school?
█ masquerade ball; another card on the dorm doors. Can't the staff give the students a break? Apparently not. Seems like students have been assigned a color and are to find their partner, another student with said color, at the dance. Of course there's a catch! No one's allowed to give their names and everyone is to wear masks. You'd think the students would be used to this by now….
█ sleepover; sports? Ha! Looks like the staff has a better use for the gym. A mass sleepover with all the students packed into the same room. But wait… if the staff planned this, where did they go? And why can't anyone open the door? Don't tell me- looks like everyone's been locked in! Better hope you don't have to pee...
█ chained together; there really is something wrong with this school. A mandatory assembly by the headmistress has informed everyone that the school's in need of a trust exercise. So everyone's being chained to a partner for a certain amount of time. Oh, and you don't get to choose your partner. That's the staff's job. Isn't this illegal?
█ cupid day; can't the students get a break? Just why do the staff keep planning these events? Not this time. Seems the science department had another accident. One that involves flying arrows and mismatched students. The jock fell in love with the nurse. The cheerleader fell in love with the geek. How on earth are we supposed to fix this one!
█ truth or dare; seems normal enough. Except that the staff planned the event. Just what sort of dares are written on those little pieces of paper? And why haven't students dropped out yet? Everyone's stuck in the gym once again for a giant game of truth or dare. With one exception. Anyone who picks dare gets to draw theirs out of the cauldron sitting in the center of the room… So, who wants to go first?
█ battle of the sexes; the staff got into an argument… and apparently the students have to help. Who's the better sex? Men or women? Well, it's up to the students to figure it out. A battle royal is about to go down on campus with a giant game of tug-o-war, treasure hunt, and… wrestling? Just what sort of a competition is this?
█ camping trip; what does the staff have planned now? Students are expected to pack their things and be ready to spend the weekend… on a mountain? Is this some sick game? Please tell me that the staff is staying around this time… Does anyone have a sleeping bag I can borrow? Time to hope we all survive.

Texans: Report Suspicious Activities Through State Website
POSTED: Saturday, May 25, 2013 - 12:00am
UPDATED: Thursday, June 6, 2013 - 2:09pm
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) encourages residents to report suspicious behaviors that might indicate criminal or terrorist activity to the department's iWATCH website at www.iwatchtx.org. Created as a partnership between communities and law enforcement, iWATCH is a DPS website where citizen-sourced information is collected in an effort to help thwart illegal and terroristic endeavors.
"DPS works with federal, state and local law enforcement entities every day to combat crime and terrorism within Texas and beyond. With the help of the public, we can be even more successful in this pursuit," said DPS Director Steven McCraw. "Residents can join our crime-fighting efforts – and possibly save lives – by remaining vigilant and promptly reporting to iWATCH any suspicious or criminal activities they might witness."
Concerned citizens can visit the website to fill out a report, which includes contact information and specifics about a particular incident. A report usually takes fewer than five minutes to complete, and once submitted, each report is reviewed by law enforcement analysts.
Here are some examples of behaviors and activities to report:
- Strangers asking questions about building security features and procedures.
- Briefcase, suitcase, backpack or package is left behind.
- Cars or trucks are left in no-parking zones at important buildings.
- Chemical smells or fumes that are unusual for the location.
- People requesting sensitive information, such as blueprints, security plans or VIP travel schedules, without a need to know.
- Purchasing supplies that could be used to make bombs or weapons, or purchasing uniforms without having the proper credentials.
- Taking photographs or videos of security features, such as cameras or check points.
DPS urges residents who see something unusual to simply speak up. Preparations for terrorist attacks are often seen, but rarely reported. When in doubt, report the suspicious activity through iWATCH. For more information on the iWATCH program or to submit a report, visit www.iwatchtx.org.

In a five-year effort, the Health Industry Manufacturers Association (HIMA) tried to influence government health policy in Japan. In 1993, HIMA mobilized in response to fears the Japanese government was planning to target the U.S. medical devices industry. The case describes how HIMA leveraged outside pressure from the U.S. government to secure exemptions from new regulations, to push for improvements in the Japanese product-approvals process, and to avoid deep cuts in reimbursement prices for medical devices in Japan in 1994 and 1996. HIMA confronts new price-cutting pressures and realizes that its external pressure strategy was proving to be increasingly inadequate. A rewritten version of an earlier case.
learning objective:
To explore the approaches a business can use to influence government policymaking.
subjects covered:
Business & government relations; Corporate strategy; Government policy; Health care policy; International business; International trade; Media relations; Negotiation; Policy making

Shrimp and Chive Dumplings (韭菜虾饺)
When it comes to cooking or eating, I am very spontaneous. It's about what comes to mind at the very moment when I am hungry–a recipe from a cookbook, a mouthwatering picture online, or a sudden craving. These shrimp and chive dumplings were a result of browsing two sinfully delicious posts: Use Real Butter's chive dumplings and Andrea Nguyen's Asian Dumplings Cookbook teaser. Those succulent chive and shrimp dumplings had me at first sight.
I was going to make har gow or the ever-popular Cantonese shrimp dumplings but the thought of folding the delicate morsels discouraged me. I decided to make shrimp and chive dumplings (韭菜虾饺), but had no patience making the wheat starch skin from scratch. I wanted my shrimp dumplings and I wanted them pronto; I thought of a way to cheat, which I have seen at a few dim sum restaurants. The answer is wrapping the shrimp dumplings with regular dumpling/potsticker wrappers or wonton skin. I settled on wonton skin.
(Now, what is the technique to make shrimps Chinese-restaurant crunchy–the springy texture and mouth feel as if the shrimps "bounce" in your mouth and "crunch" when you bite into them? A secret that no Chinese chefs would teach you, but I will. Click here to learn all about it.)
Anyway, here is my shrimp and chive dumplings recipe–a popular pan-fried dumpling on dim sum menu. These shrimp and chive dumplings perked me up as soon as I had the first bite, and yes, those shrimps did "crunch" and "bounce" in my mouth and as delicious as the ones served at dim sum restaurants (I am serious!). Click on the image in the gallery above to view complete photoset and also step-by-step picture guide on how to make shrimp and chive dumplings.

Har gow are my absolute favorite dim sum, but like you I don't usually make them at home because I don't have the patience to make the rice wrappers. Using gyoza skins or wonton skins is a shortcut I often take, and now I'll try this shrimp and chive filling the next time I get a craving!
So pretty! I want some!
I don't know how you do it… great post. I would definitely but a cookbook from you if you ever had one.
They look so mouth-watering!! I can hear some drumming sounds coming from my stomach. Looking forward to your next post. ;)
The dark brown background goes so well with the beautifully cooked dumplings.
Oh man, I've always wanted to make the har gao wrapper here but I can't seem to find wheat starch anywhere! Anyway, it is my absolute favorite dumpling of all time (and there are a LOT of contenders!)! Good job you've done here!
My favourite dim sum! I normally have it steamed though. Your pan fried ones look so much better!
I just ate and your presentation is just bowling me over. Not the first time your pics have driven me straight to the stove. Very beautiful presentation of one of many favorite dumplings.
Oh my lord I love these! Sadly, I had never even considered using wonton wrappers, but now that you've enlightened me I'm making these dumplings all the time…
This is one of my favorite dumplings, in fact I'm on a dumpling kick. I am looking forward to Andrea Nguyen's Asian dumpling cookbook!
These look lovely and delicious…so perfect! I have to manage making my own dim sum one day! Looking forward to your crunchy shrimp techniques!
I haven't been able to find "white" wonton skins, the asian shops usually sell the yellow ones which just isn't the same. Sigh, I must keep searching in order to try out your simple yet yummy recipe. Wish me luck!
Sheeesh, I can't make these at home. No time-not even with the store bought wrappers…..now you have me craving har gao. I will HAVE to go out this week for my dim sum fix. My favourite chinese restaurant thanks you:-)
So tantalizing! Lovely!
That sounds wonderful!!
I have that same green little plate, it's been featured many times on my blog as well. =)
Thank you for sharing all your lovely recipes and wonderful photos! I think I might just make the dumplings this weekend :)) Just a question, can I subsitute the tapioca starch?
This looks yummy!! but too difficult for me to make. You are very talented :)
Pingback:Twitted by jayfallon
These look fantastic! The golden brown bottom surfaces are perfect.
Bee – How much oil do we use to pan fry these cute, yummy ones ? Half covered ?
I will surely try when I lay my hands on chives.
Pingback:Twitted by xppinkx
Whoa! Shrimp and Chive Dumplings (韭菜虾饺)!! I guess I shouldn't be surprised by what's being served at rasamalaysia anymore. My result of being spontaneous is Maggi instant noodles, with egg. Maybe 2 eggs. But this dumplings, will take me plenty of deliberation. Very nice!
Another lovely creation! And the green plate is gorgeous. Where is it from?
When I was in the Washington/EUA, my aunt took me to have lanch at a restaurant that serves dim sum…I was completaly fall in love…this dumpling is very tasteful, wonderful…I bought some ingredient to try made this recipe…here we go :)
I don't know how I could have possibly missed this post… When I saw the pictures I instantly drooled and thought, "I need to make or get me some of those…"
Looks great, and I hope I get a chance to try it soon. Thanks for sharing this recipe =)
p.s. My search for maltose continues.
Why you wouldn;t recomend those yellowish wonton wrap. I made wonton with them once and think they are delicious… any reason not to use for this recipe?
This dish is looking very sweet and tasty thanks to share with us this delicious recipe.
That looks so good – I'll probably try it this weekend.
In the meanwhile, I'm going to be excited about that crunchy shrimp secret.=)
I like your blog very much, and sometimes I do cook some of the recipes you tell us about. Those dumplings become a post on my blog, describing the process of making and eating them (the last was the best part). Thanks for the recipes and the wonderful photos
Hi Bee, thanks for the recipe. My husband and I used your recipe to make dumplings together last weekend, and we loved them! By the way, great job on the Nonya blog – my mum is a Nonya from Malacca and it's great to be able to acquaint myself with the gorgeous cuisine through your site from Tokyo :)
Your photographs are to die for…..I am so glad I found your website. Easy recipes to follow and the pictures are worth a thousand words.
I wanted to try your shrimp and chive dumplings. But 12oz for peeled and deveined shrimps & 1 oz chives – how much gramms is that?
Bee! This recipe was a hit w/ my family, will make it again tonight.
Hi! I have a question! :)
after you make shrimp crunchy and marinate over night, do you wash them again before you make this recipe?
Thank you for your recipe. This is my version: bit(dot)ly/kvVNCw
Just happened upon this delicious looking recipe. I've never made dumplings before, but will try this one. Can this be prepared a day ahead of pan frying, or even better, can the dumplings be frozen after assembling? Thanks!
Such a fabulous recipe! Since I discovered it I have always had some in the freezer. I like this recipe so much I have posted it on my blog. Thank you so much for sharing!

We're your average work-out-of-your-garage kind of people… well except we don't have garages.
Andrew Paradies and Dan Preston came together in 2005 with a vision to help people with a better way to share and make money from their digital images. Two years later, and a couple of ulcers (just kidding!), we have created a photo sharing site that we think can do just that.
We are working and changing things in the beta version DAILY to try to make Photrade the best photo sharing and selling site on the web. If you are a blogger, photographer, or just plain old digital photo taker, we want you to have everything you need from prints to ads at Photrade.
We hope you love our site, and if you do please tell us… and if you don't, we'd like to hear why. We're committed to making this the best experience for our users. Yes, we are in beta and, yes, you can get on a list for an invite. Check out Photrade for more details.
So leave us a comment, send us an email, and stop back to this blog often for updates on the beta and, as always, amazing photos from our users!
I'm extremely excited to report that it's one week until we launch the new service. The new site will continue to be invitation only for the time being as we'll be working hard to implement photraders' feedback before opening it to the public.
It's been a really tough period for the Photrade team as everyone has been cranking to get the new user interface out the door. Our engineers have literally been doing 15-17 hour days for longer than I'd like to remember (although I'm sure they also would rather not think about it!). They've done a killer job of working through a phenomenal amount of code… who knew our site had so many lines! As you can probably tell, I'm really grateful to their efforts to making Photrade what it has become and what I'm so excited to share with you on June 1.
So with all of that said, I'm happy to report we're going to be releasing an entirely new interface. In addition, we're releasing tons of bug fixes and updates to existing functionality. We've heard your voices telling us what needs to change and by golly we're making it happen. For example, in this upcoming release we've greatly improved photo management and custom watermarking.
In general, I think you'll find the site has new life and I hope your experience with it is as positive as mine has been with testing it out pre-release. As always, we will love to hear your feedback as we work hard to improve Photrade for everyone. If you'd like to contact me personally with any of your thoughts.
Photos of dogs
Many people are like to have photos of dogs breed. Dog or a child, because they look cute. A few of them, or want to take pictures of them while they are in deystvii.Schenok ideal pet for me. Just because his innocent, and his love of movement with your own personality. So often we try to capture a dog breed photos. Just as we love to have an Alsatian dog, because of its shape, and attitude. Although this dog, used for many other purposes such, as safety or protection. As a dog, or puppy lover, and you want to capture a pitchers of dogs. Then the only thing you need is just a digital camera. If you are wanting, for a quality picture of a dog, then you need a expert camera, with a few various types of lenses.

Senator in TN is sending letters to water plants in his state requesting they stop putting fluoride in public water. He is against fluoride in water for many reasons but notably, because it is medicating people without their consent. It is always refreshing to see someone take issue with that aspect. The ADA is now telling parents NOT to make baby formula using fluoridated water. Just incredible that we are supposed to blindly trust the whims of government and their regulations.Read »

There are many things about a movie that will get people at Sundance talking: a celebrity doing something risque, a script so bad it makes people laugh, or a performance that's so revelatory that prognosticators are already putting it down for the 2014 Oscar short list. But there is one thing that will make people talk like nothing else: money. Coming of age story (yes, real original for Sundance) The Way, Way Back got on everyone's lips only after it was bought for $10 million by Fox Searchlight (extraneous comma and everything) after only one screening.
But did they overpay? In my opinion, possibly. The movie is getting a lot of comparisons to former Sundance darling Little Miss Sunshine, which was also acquired at the festival for $10 million seven years ago (God, we're getting old). That film went on to make $60 million at the box office and earn two Oscars and four nominations. But just because both movies are indies about quirky kids in bad family situations, and costar Toni Collette and Steve Carell, does not make them the same. in fact, Sunshine is not only more interesting and original, but also better.
That's not to say The Way, Way Back is bad. It's fine. It's a good little movie, but one that you've seen before. It's like Adventureland with waterslides and better actresses than Kristen Stewart. Broody teen Duncan (Liam James) is forced to leave Albany to spend a summer at the shore with his mother (Collette) when her new boyfriend (Carell) invites them to his beach house for a few months. Sick of life at the house, Duncan ends up skulking around a water park until the wisecracking charismatic owner (or maybe manager, it's never made clear) Owen (Sam Rockwell) gives him a job. Of course he comes out of his shell, and his life changes dramatically, and he finds who he is as a person, and blah blah blah.
The cast is quite good. Carell does an amazing job in full-on dick mode; you will absolutely loathe his character. Unlike the way you absolutely loathe Shia LaBeouf... you're supposed to hate Carell's character, so I mean that as a compliment to his performance. The supporting cast is comedy gold, including Allison Janney, Amanda Peet, Maya Rudolph, Rob Corddry, and Jim Rash, who wrote and directed along with his fellow Descendants Oscar winner Nat Faxon. This crew is worth $10 million alone.
But the problem is Liam James. And considering he's in nearly every scene in the movie, that's quite a problem. Well, I don't know if it's James or how his character of Duncan is written, but he doesn't come off so much brooding as he does developmentally disabled. I don't know if that's James' portrayal or because the character is written as such a blank slate. But the flat delivery of the character keeps you from being able to enjoy an afternoon with this kid, not to mention a whole summer.
The jokes all come from Rockwell, an underused talent, for sure, but one who was funnier in his recent dud Seven Psychopaths than he is here. There are plenty of funny moments and charm, but the movie hews closely to a formula and doesn't do much to add anything new or exciting to that formula. For a good, funny coming of age story from Sundance, you should check out Toy's House instead, which was not only more original but also, laugh for laugh, more worthwhile.
But with the right marketing campaign and all the festival buzz The Way, Way Back could be a good investment after all. Who wants to see something new and pretty and wonderful when you can see a similar movie to one you already love. That's what has been driving Hollywood for decades. Yes, Fox Searchlight's $10 million might be money well spent, but for the discerning moviegoer, they might want to save their $13 at the Cineplex for something else.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band -- the iconic and profoundly influential group often cited as the catalysts for an entire movement in country and roots music -- have finished work on their first studio album in five years, 'Speed of Life.' Out September 22 on NGDB Records, distributed by Sugar Hill, the new album finds the band at their laid back, ramshackle best, eschewing the large collaboration approach here for a set of songs anchored by the remarkably deft musicianship, and diverse songwriting and vocal styles of the core band of Jeff Hanna, Jimmie Fadden, Bob Carpenter, and John McEuen.
Recorded in Nashville's Blackbird Studio and produced by legendary recording guru George Massenburg and GRAMMY award winning singer/songwriter Jon Randall Stewart, 'Speed of Life' kicks off with Jimmie Fadden's blistering harmonica on the opening track "Tulsa Sounds Like Trouble to Me," setting the tone for an album that spans the gamut from the wistful and flawless vocal harmony of "Resurrection" to "Lost In The Pines," John McEuen's evocative banjo showpiece. 'Speed of Life' features 13 tracks, including new tunes penned by the band (with help from a handful of friends) and two covers: the Woodstock classic "Going Up The Country" and "Stuck In The Middle." Not to mention a blazing two-step throwback nod to bluegrass progenitor Jimmy Martin, on the aptly named "Jimmy Martin."
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's place among the most innovative artists in American roots music is secure. One of the first to join the disparate scenes of classic old-time and country music with the then nascent California folk-rock movement, the band's early recordings and collaborations are perhaps the origin of the genre now known as Americana. 'Will the Circle Be Unbroken,' their 1972 landmark featuring an all-star array of country icons, is rightly considered one of the defining moments in Nashville's – and America's - music history, and is now preserved by the Library of Congress in the National Recording Registry. With the second installment of 'Circle' in 1989, the group extended their list of prestigious collaborators and garnered three GRAMMY Awards and the Country Music Association Album of the Year. NGDB are also the recipients of the International Bluegrass Music Association Recorded Event of the Year award and a 2005 Grammy for Country Instrumental Performance (with Earl Scruggs, Randy Scruggs, Jerry Douglas and the late Vassar Clements).

Happy New Year from Middleton
Thursday, January 3, 2013
MIDDLETON — Happy New Year everybody! That might be a tall order, considering the cold weather, the news tragedies, and the economic state of affairs. Still, there are things to be thankful for. Here we have places where you can get warm, either in your home or in shelters. Not every country in the world has the facilities to take care of its needy. And yes, lots of Americans have suffered recent tragedies. Unfortunately, no one is immune from problems, but hopefully all have had family, friends and resources to make it easier to endure.
Locally, we are still struggling with the school situation. The SAU 61 website is improving, though as someone who fights regularly with my own computer, I confess I can't always find what I want on their site. On that subject though, I would like to recommend a resource to students and parents. Check out the Bureau of Labor Statistics at http://www.bls.gov/socand at the top of the page select "A to Z Index." In that index you will find "Career Information for Students." It's no substitute for What Color is Your Parachute by Richard Bolles, but I think it is worth your consideration.
Although it was posted, many people could not make a meeting of the Middleton School Board last week due to the snow storm. At the meeting, they decided to schedule a special District Meeting for the public to weigh in on whether or not to have a feasibility study conducted regarding the options available for educating our school students. The date for the meeting is yet to be selected. Another topic on the agenda will be the selection of a Deputy School Treasurer.
Middleton residents can now pay their taxes by bank withdrawal or credit card at www.nhtaxkiosk.com. The credit fees are stiff (2.95 percent) but only $ 0.40 for ACH. Thanks, Debbie!
Dec. 14 — Police information; Pine Road.

Let Verizon-powered smartphones keep you connected to friends and family, entertained with music and videos, and updated with what's happening on social media. Stay connected to what matters to you, in more places, because you have America's largest and most reliable 4G LTE network....read more
Smartphones are powerful, pocket-sized computers that connect you to the people, places and things you find important. Looking for the best place for dinner while on vacation? Find the perfect restaurant with OpenTable and make a reservation from your phone. Need directions? Google Maps™ will get you there step by step. Want to share your dining experience? Use the smartphone's camera to take a photo or video and upload it to Instagram from the table.
Your smartphone and the Verizon 4G LTE network allow you to stream a movie when you're bored, store your favorite music playlists and even remind you to get milk on the way home. You can keep current with today's news and tomorrow's weather—or find the best hotel prices. With a smartphone, nearly everyone and everything is within reach.
A smartphone can be an important part of your day-to-day life—its potential uses are seemingly limitless. It's important to look at what matters most to you before investing in a phone. Here are a few key points to keep in mind when looking for your perfect smartphone.
Operating System (OS): The OS is what you interact with when you use a smartphone. Each OS helps you connect to what's important, but the different operating systems have different approaches to getting you there. Android™, for example, lets you use widgets to view important information, such as today's weather, right on your Home screen. Each OS also offers its own store to get apps, music, movies and other content.
Screen Size: Movies and photos come to life on a big HD display, but a smaller screen means a more compact phone that easily fits in your pocket. Which screen size is best for you depends on your personal preference.
Battery Life: If you're constantly on the go, a long-lasting battery keeps you productive, entertained and in touch—the higher the mAh number, the longer you can use your phone after a full charge.
Camera: If your smartphone is your only camera, a feature like fast autofocus helps you take blur-free action shots. Also look for exposure controls and other advanced settings, which help you capture the perfect photo at sunrise.
Verizon offers the best coverage for your smartphone and the widest selection of devices, keeping you connected to America's largest and most reliable 4G LTE network:

Game 146: Nats at Braves
Sep 16, 2012, 8:42 PM EDT
Photo by Mark Zuckerman / NATS INSIDER
Gio Gonzalez seeks win No. 20 tonight at Turner Field.
ATLANTA — It's Sunday night, and the Nationals and Braves have the entire national stage to themselves. Well, aside from whatever NFL game is being played in primetime, which I'm sure we'll find out tomorrow drew 4,862 times more viewers than this pennant race ballgame. But I digress…
ESPN gets a good one tonight, with the Braves trying to sweep the series and pull within 5 1/2 games of the NL East lead. The Nationals, of course, came to town knowing they just needed to win once to keep the lead at a comfortable 7 1/2 games, so now the pressure's on them to salvage tonight's finale.
Davey Johnson will send his de facto ace to the mound in Gio Gonzalez, seeking to become the first 20-game winner in the majors this season and boost his increasing Cy Young Award hopes. He'll be opposed by fellow left-hander Mike Minor, who owns a 4.42 ERA for the season but hasn't given up a run in his last 12 2/3 innings.
Plenty of updates to come live from Turner Field…

God darnit — I hate to be right!!Burnett allowed three runs to score.Nats management froze: no one up — allowing Burnett to face the righty, Uggla.That camera shot of the Nats 'brain trust' was classic: three grown men in a state of Hyper Panic. Great. Trickle down panic.
- SCNatsFan - Sep 17, 2012 at 2:51 AM
NatsFanJim, I don't think so. Espi has never hit for average, never had a strikeout percentage less then 20% (at ANY level) qhile his power numbers stay flat; if anything, his numbers are getting worse. Shows me he isn't learning a thing. Unless its his vision there isn't an easy fix. Perhaps have him abandon the left side and see what happens; either that or we accept him just like he is. For me that isn't good enough.Nats getting what they deserve tonight. You give a good team free baserunners and they eat your lunch. Hopefully the team is paying attention.And since his return from the rest Burnett isn't fooling anyone.
- Gonat - Sep 17, 2012 at 2:52 AM
Just too much negativity. Good night NIs. See you during the Dodgers series.
- NatsFanJim - Sep 17, 2012 at 2:53 AM
I cannot believe the bullpen was idle while Burnett was in there.I cant believe Derosa is still in the big leagues.I cant believe Davey and his staff froze or forgot to look ahead when Uggla came up.If I'm Rizzo, I'm down in Davey's office yelling at him again — Davey is getting too damn old.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Sep 17, 2012 at 2:56 AM
Last 11 appearnce for Burnett 24 runners. Time to shut him down
- NatsFanJim - Sep 17, 2012 at 2:56 AM
SC I agree with you. Thats why I put Espi very high on my Dumbest Nats List.He is not making enough progress for my liking. I think he's stupid and can't learn.But he has skills and a good teacher might get through to him. But accept for that, I agree with you totally. How can't I? His stats prove it out.

Nats Fan Jim:Have you noticed that pretty much every other regular commenter is gone for the night? It take a special combination of insipid and obnoxious to clear a room. You, sir, have a rare talent. Just one tip for you, to help you overcome this social disorder: Save up the comments you want to make over 15-20 minutes. Put them all into one comment, then edit it down so we can all skip over it more quickly. Watching sport is a source of fun. Based on teh anger you show here, I fear for your own health and the safety of those close to you.
- mick - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:02 AM
I am not too happy after these last 3 games and I see some red flags. Friday night, fine, Ian had a bad throw, I accept that. Yesterday, an arrogant umpire who is so unprofessional, he did not ask the HP umpire for an appeal, Hudson is a jerk period and hope he gets razzed by fans at other ball parks. Tonight, once again Espi is showing me that he may not be a long term term player for the Nats, his bat going silent at a critical part of the season tells me a lot. Two veteran players on each corner lost this game tonight, Zim and LaRoche were very disappointing. Burnett just can not be on the playoff roster period, he has no confidence and he looks afraid. Zim's demeanor is bothering me as well. I hope this is not a pattern going down the stretch. Stammen was brilliant and all Zim and LaRoche had to do to keep this a 2-1 game was to play like veterans

This is unreal. Storen comes in in a 5-1 mop up role? But Davey brought Burnett in in a critical situation??? What the frig is going on here?Storen has been light out lately — and never gets to pitch!! Unreal. If Im Rizzo I am spitting bullets — right at Im Too Old to Manage Johnson.

Series recap 1 run in games 1 and 3. Harper responsible for both runs. He is the youngster. Anyone else want to help?Errors in all 3 games resulted in5 unearned runs.TNo matter how good pitching you win few games that way.I came into game figuring Gio ciuld help erase the stupidity of Josh Morgan, but all his 3 ball counts assured me that wasn't going to happen.lets score 4 it is not to late.
- NatsFanJim - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:07 AM
troll alert: Nats Lady is a troll — and she is also 89e5. Well done, Nats Lady. Another Forum Nazi who wants to filter our posts.
- SCNatsFan - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:08 AM
I look at it this way; Used correctly Davey can use this series to remind this team, which is just learning how to win, that you have to compete every night, every at bat or you are going to lose to a good team. Maybe the team had too much prosperity too early; maybe this is just a blip; maybe, like right before the St L series when the bats went dormant that this is just the silence before the storm. Any way you look at it we weren't the better team in any game this weekend and got what we deserved. Here is hoping we learn and take the lessons learned into the post season.I am concerned about Burnett's arm; without him our lefty will be Gonzo and I don't trust him at all.
- Joe Seamhead - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:09 AM
Why did I look in here, I ask myself.All of this bull from you guys is pretty bad. You do realize that the Nats still lead by 5 1/2 games, have the best record in baseball, but according to you bozos, Davey Johnson is too old to manage. Go back under your rocks. This team has brought more joy to baseball fans in this town than any team in generations. They lose a couple of games and you all pretty much bail on them. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
- NatsFanJim - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:09 AM
To Natslady who is still watching. Posting as one person who has curiously never posted before, and then you post to agree with them while you attack a poster is kinda sick.maybe you should go watch women's tennis. Baseball seems a little out of your league.
- Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_For_Me - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:13 AM
OK, OK, everybody back away from the ledge. Put down the sharp instruments. Everything broke the Barves' way this weekend — Medlin on Friday, that crap call Saturday and tonight's assortment of "Duh-Uggla" moments — and we're still five and a-half up on these Dixie Doormats.I think these three will serve as motivation should we have to play them when it really counts in October.Good September win, Fredi. See you in October, chump.

Not NatsLady. And nobody is censoring you, they're just bored by you. That's why we leave. You add nothing.

Joe, Don't join the Forum Police: Swift and Natslady. Dont insult people and be such a jerk.Good fans here are just telling it the way it is and not insulting other posters.You, Natslady and Swift are insulting people who hurl invectives a little too much.

I think there is a vast difference in critiquing players and just being downright negative.I have never been won over by Espi. It's a full season we have to look at players not just a great month of July.I wrote my analysis of Espi. Just more poor ABs tonight.

Section 3 is also a Forum Nazi. If he doesnt like what you say, you are isolated, attacked, and insulted.Go find a ladies forum, fella. They might lie the way you like it over there.

Lets see 2 fast balls over heart taken so you have to swing at a change up. Batting approach questionable.Espi might as well bat if Lombo is going to K.I expect a lot better exscution on Tuesday. I hate losing first or last game of a series. I dislike losing second.My real trouble will start in about 10 minutes. I sleep terrible after a loss. Though one like this is easier to sleep than the previous 2.

Ghost… good point and I agree with you 100% on Espi…. I hope this young man can become consistent, but I suspect he will always be a great defensive player and an inconsistent hitter
- NatsFanJim - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:19 AM
I think Natslady is also Section 3: they write the same, think the same, insult the same, and police 'their forum' the same.You add Zero to this forum. Your'e Pollyanna view of things is embarassing for you.Do us all a favor: either behave or don't post here. And stop insulting and harassing Nats fans, and being so nasty.

Baseball is a funny game. One night you can look like the 27 Yankees, the next like the 62 Mets. We have won enough series this year to let this one go, lets just not be friendly hosts to the Dodgers and get this train back on the right track.
- NatsFanJim - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:23 AM
To all Forum Nazis who appeared briefly tonight with hit and run invective and insults.Go to the Red Porch and get a beer. Everyone will agree with you there — and they know about as much about baseball as you do.And perhaps there is only one Forum Nazi posing as other people — they seem to pop up curiosly together and at the same time. Right, Natslady?? lol You are a trip.
- SCNatsFan - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:24 AM
Ghost I don't think being negative about Espi is being negative about the Nats; I think it is looking at the team and seeing where its weak spots are. I love the Nats and will love them if they win or lose 100; would just be so much more fun if they won 100…
- Joe Seamhead - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:25 AM
Nats Fan Jim, you are an immature, misogynistic clown that brings nothing of value to the table. NatsLady knows more about baseball in general, and the Nats in particular, then you ever will. Do us all a favor and go back under the rock that you crawled out from.
- NatsFanJim - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:26 AM
SC what worries me is that the Nats weaknesses are compounding and are costing them games — against opponents they are likely to see again.In pressure baseball, weaknesses are always glaring — and we have more than a few.Not hard to see why Rizzo expected the Nats to be good NEXT year, and not this year. He KNows how weak we really are.

Thanks Mick. He's a good kid but this is about the team first and his ego isn't a priority. Like I said in April he needed a tuneup in AAA. This swinging for the fences every at-bat has regressed him. He is 2 for his last 35 now.
- NatsFanJim - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:27 AM
Joe: I wont even dignify your rather unhinged remarks.
- NatsFanJim - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:30 AM
Where did all the little Forum Nazis come from? The Nats being swept by the Braves has caused what I will callThe Great Unhinging. haha Right Joe?
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:31 AM
SCNatsfan, I'm not referring to you. We had a good discussion this morning on Espi.I'm talking about attacking Espi's IQ. Talk about his swing, his lack of contact, his pitch recognition, not his baseball IQ.
- NatsFanJim - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:34 AM
Check out my list of Smart and Stupid Nats. I think you'll enjoy it.Espi is a stupid person who has learning problems.
- mick - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:34 AM
I wonder if the best thing for Espi would be to only bat right handed and still play him verse right handed pitchers? It could be as simple as that
- mick - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:35 AM

- NatsFanJim - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:37 AM
Will Davey be back in 2013?I wonder what odds Vegas would give you? Might be worth a c-note.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:37 AM
Mick, something has to change. That's the best idea to try.
- NatsFanJim - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:43 AM
Mick: Actually, you may very well be right. I'm concerned that Espi cannot or will not learn to correct the loop and the holes in his lefty swing. It's the same thing every game: he is making no progress. I'm sure he's trying but not smart enough to succeed.2 for his last 35? This is a problem. Does his approach change? Nope. He must be stupid.
- NatsFanJim - Sep 17, 2012 at 3:47 AM
Davey Johnson committed the Manager's Mortal Sin tonight: he froze at the switch.Davey brings in an ineffective Burnett who implodes again. Does he warm anyone up? Nope.Storen sits but Burnett pitches? Does that make sense? Up comes Uggla: and we know Davey is obsessed with Righty Lefty matchups. Is a righty warm in the bullpen? Nope. In fact, no one is up in the bullpen.Davey froze. He is too old to manage. Davey should be retired after this year.

It's time to fry, so here's a tip from Cook's Illustrated: Getting the initial oil temperature to 375 degrees is key to the success of this recipe. An instant-read thermometer with a high upper range is perfect for checking the temperature; a clip-on candy/deep-fry thermometer is also fine. If your Dutch oven measures 11 inches across, you will need to fry the steaks in two batches.
NOTE: *I used part 1% milk and part half 'n half, because I didn't have whole milk. It still works!
NOTE: *I used some chicken stock, in place of additional milk. I think it gives the gravy more depth of flavor. The total cooking process should take 5–10 minutes. Generously season the gravy with kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper, tasting it as you go along. According to the Pioneer Woman, under seasoned gravy is one of life's great sacrileges.
Now, about those mashed potatoes... I recently discovered a new way to make mashed potatoes that is super easy and clever. I won't tell you where, or what other tasty version I made-- it's going to be posted very soon, I promise. I've just been relaxing on vacation! But, here's how I made garlic mashed potatoes:
I lightly season the potatoes with kosher salt and pepper-- I'll be adding more seasoning later on. Cook the potatoes, covered, on medium heat, until fork tender. Now, this is important... remove some of the cooking liquid and set it aside.
VERDICT: I think Cook's Illustrated's addition of the baking soda and powder really helped to make this crust become crunchy and perfect. I used peanut oil, but vegetable oil would work fine. Flavor-wise, my husband loved this dinner, and I definitely made his stomach and heart feel very loved and happy. I'm not big on gravy, but I have to say that this was very flavorful. I think the chicken stock was a good addition. While my husband doesn't burn off a lot of calories by working cattle on a ranch, he gets enough of a workout pushing the lawn mower up our very steep and grassy hill! This is definitely a man-pleasing dinner and I highly recommend it. I give kudos to The Pioneer Woman's gravy, -- and little bit of my own improvs on adding chicken stock to the gravy and potatoes.
Enjoy (in moderation),
