An Open Letter for Those Who Don't Know About Fashion
To the girls who are always called less feminine just because they don't know about fashion:
You are not alone. I know what you've been going through.
We don't always look bad …
I'm pretty sure we've heard a lot of compliments when we try on our best outfit when we just wake up with this burning desire of taking down our closet just to find the perfect match. However, these compliments usually have to do with the fact that they've never seen us "in something like that before." That's also the moment where people go to you and start giving you more fashion advice, as they see it's not impossible for you to dress as a normal human.
Hearing these phrases that start out really sweet but end up insulting you in any way, type, or shape is just common in our daily life. They start saying how "brave" and "cool" you are for not bothering on dressing better, just because you don't dress as a model every morning for your 8 a.m. class.
Many times we've heard something like an "OMG, I just love that you don't even care what you wear," when, in fact, we were feeling completely comfortable and pretty on the outfit they just insulted. We also know that these people don't mean bad, but it's just a matter of seconds before we start regretting even feeling comfortable to begin with.
We know we shouldn't be explaining to people why we are not a big fan of skirts, or why most of our wardrobe is black and white. However, we end up doing it because sometimes we just feel that we need an excuse for our lack of knowledge in the fashion world.
How many times have we worn a dress just because we didn't know how to combine our wardrobe, or we were just too lazy to do so?
It's not a surprise to anyone when I say I don't know about fashion; however, they still judge me when I accept the fact that I don't know any major clothing brand or even the brand of the jeans I'm wearing. I'm just used to their gaze at me, sighing while they just answer with a small "should've imagined."
I used to get angry at myself for not having a sense of fashion. I will always remember a specific day in sixth grade. It was "casual day" so I got to use whatever I wanted, just not our uniform. I remember not remembering "casual day" until five minutes before the school bus went to pick me up. I took the first two things I saw, lilac sweatpants and a pink t-shirt. I never thought that this outfit was going to stay with me forever.
I remember a group of girls, ready to make a list of the people who knew how to dress and the people who didn't. I couldn't believe that these girls — I remind you, this was in sixth grade, where everybody dressed poorly — were actually judging what kind of clothes you had, and how good your sense of fashion was among the other students. This girl who came to me just mentioned the two colors that I was wearing out loud, laughed, and walked away.
I was a little ashamed, I must say, but something that really got me angry is that the outfit I had didn't represent me at all. It represented a girl who forgot what day it was and took the first thing she saw in her wardrobe. I saw my classmate's outfits and they were beautiful but different.
I'm proud to say that my mindset changed since that day. I wasn't going to study fashion merchandising or be a supermodel, but I was going to find my style. I know there's still people out there that don't really care about their outfit. However, the more I've grown up, the more I've learned about this topic that I used to find useless.
Now that I'm in college, I've realized that having a fashion statement is important to stand out as a person. Unlike what people usually think when I say I don't know anything about fashion, I do think that people should wear anything they want as long as it represents who they are and they feel comfortable with it.
Knowing what to use, when to use it, and how to use it is always handy. Being honest, I didn't even know the difference between business casual and business professional.
The way we present ourselves, in a physical way, says a lot about us: the way you style your hair or if you have ever dyed it, the kind of shoes you prefer, deciding between whether you prefer using makeup just on the important days or every day. They all say a little bit about how you feel about yourself.
I really wish I could put my thoughts into something physical, like my clothing. Now that I'm in college, I've realized that having a fashion statement is important to stand out as a person. Fashion isn't just Passarella, or at least that's how I feel in regards to that word. Knowing what you like, and working on an image is difficult to maintain.
Fashion is in every part of the world. It's not only about what type of hairstyle to use, or what shoes combine with what, but how you want to portray yourself to the world. As long as you feel comfortable with what you're wearing, then just smile at the next compliment and keep looking lit.
And for those who want to inform themselves, but don't know how: Pinterest can be your best friend.

Awesome job!
You need to make flash animations! You'd be really good at it
I might try ONE day but....ehhh that will just seal the deal for my future carpal tunnel. Plus I don't really know any people who'd be good at voice acting.

I am not saying it's the dumbest comic-book movie ever, but it is pretty close.We can start with all the plot holes. I am a comicbook nerd and a big fan of Marvel. But it doesn't mean I always connect the films to the books. It's just a useless comparison. Yet, there are a few very important things that no director, producer or writer should change about a incredibly popular and iconic character.
Here are my reasons this movie must not exist.
Spider-man doesn't have his spidey sense. He just lost it. Even a regular person can sense a human flying on a jet powered craft, flying towards him. But Spidey didn't know what was happening. Meteorites falling from the night sky are also really hard to notice. Specially when they are crashing silently 15 feet away from you.
That's my number 1 reason. This character is one of the greatest villains in Spider-Man's universe and we can easily imagine how he looks like - big, crazy mouth, big teeth, incredibly buffed, fast and with a really evil voice. So the perfect guy for the role is that skinny boy from That 70's show. Brilliant! Not only he is bad for the role, but the CGI department did a lousy job, too. Where was the tongue? Where were the muscles? And how did Venom convinced Sandman to fight with him?
His story is incredibly shallow and impossible. He goes to a facility where they make secret experiments by simply jumping a fence. The incredibly smart scientists see there is a change in the mass, but apparently a human and a pigeon have the same mass, so no need for checking out what's going on in that pit. Then we see Sandman can fly. And the most ridiculous part is when they change the entire backstory of Spider-man. They make Sandman the person, who killed uncle Ben. WHY?! What was the point of all this. But it was all forgiven in the end.
Emo Parker
Peter became a street-dancing emo when he switched costumes. Not only that he started wearing an eye-liner, but he decided to change his haircut, do silly dance moves on the side walk, change his wardrobe and became a real douche. I guess this how evil looks like.
Spider-man crying
It's okay for a person to cry, even if he is a brave superhero. But he cried tree times in the film. Still - it could be okay. But the problem is not the tears, but the lack of jokes. This character is created to be funny, to be amusing, always talking, being wise-guy. If you read the comics you'll do it with a smile, because there always some good puns and jokes. Where were they here?
The many Plot holes
The whole film is one giant plot hole. Nothing makes sense. People change their opinion about everything like they are all bipolar. One second you love Spidery, the other you hate him. One second you want to kill him, the other his your best buddy. And there is incredibly perfect timing the whole time. From all the places the meteorite could fall, why did it fall right next to Peter. And so silently.
I honestly can't express all the hatred I have towards this movie. And I am not the only one. There are many viral videos which have hundreds of reasons why the film sucked. Then there are many negative reviews from users and critics. Yes, you'll find from time-to-time some person who says "It's better than the second one and it had so much action!", but these people probably believe the Teletubbies should win an Oscar for best screenplay of all time.
Probably Spider-Man 3 is the reason why they made a reboot of the series after just 5 years. We needed something better!
If you like the character, these are the only other motion pictures you can find. But don't worry, there are many sequels of the Amazing Spider-Man on their way. One is just a few months from appearing in theatres.
Or you can watch animated series. The 1994 series are pure genius. Many of us have grown with them and are still watching them. And they are not the only ones worth watching. Spectacular Spiderman or the 2003 new animated series are also a must-see.
This character is so big and popular, there are many stories told, but not every is worth the attention. Some of them were made just for the money, others were made to satisfy the viewers. But if you really want to see a real web-slinging adventure, just read a comicbook. You can find them online, on paper or digital.

I'VE always been a little reluctant when it comes to Comic Relief, which is on tomorrow night from 7pm on BBC One.
There seems something more than a little wrong by the fact we have to be entertained first, before we can be convinced to be charitable.
"Here's something funny, now give us some money," really ought to be the motto for Comic Relief.
But, of course, the massive amount of money raised is the main priority, not the public's collective morals.
If it takes a special Doctor Who episode, followed by a brief clip showing Cheryl Cole crying in Kenya, then at least something is being done.
But those behind Comic Relief deserve an awful lot of credit for the two-part series which aired last week... Famous, Rich and In The Slums.
It dispensed with both the comedy and – most importantly – the mawkish interaction between the stars and the impoverished.
There are few more infuriating scenes on television than a fully made-up celeb like Cheryl Cole, crying at the poverty they have been exposed to.
Famous, Rich and In The Slums instead threw four celebrities into the Kibera slum in Kenya and left them to get on with life.
Lenny Henry, Samantha Womack, Reggie Yates and Angela Rippon were all assigned to different families with different jobs to truly experience slum life.
Womack – EastEnders' Ronnie Mitchell – worked in a hospital, Henry helped a man make and sell samosas, Yates emptied rancid lavatories and Rippon followed around a woman who either did the affluent's washing or turned to prostitution.
Thankfully, none of the four celebs ever looked as though the were overly affected by the situations until they were alone.
The perceptive father who worked alongside Henry noticed his man was slightly uncomfortable when looking to buy food so paid him much more than he normally would have.
In a particularly poignant moment, Henry shook the man's hand and slipped back all the wages so as not to embarrass him in front of his family.
In a break from the norm, Womack beat herself up for getting upset after a shift in the hospital where she spoke to a woman who had just gone through a still birth and cleaned up bloody messes on the floor every five minutes.
It was enough to make anyone upset, but Womack felt guilty as everyone around her just went about their lives as if nothing was different.
The thing that struck the stars – and the viewer – so much was the fact that all the situations were normal to the slum dwellers and they just got on with it.
There was no desperation, no depression or self pity.
This lead to the key moment at the end of the first part when guide Abdul saw the slums through the eyes of the outsiders.
He had been very stern throughout the programme but broke down after seeing through his self-imposed barrier.
It's hard to imagine there will be a more heart-breaking scene on television this year, largely because it was so unexpected and harrowingly genuine.
These people are getting on with life without your help but they could use it, if you can afford to give it.

text: Because of the current issue with the CGO3+ on my YTH: The lens in my CGO3+ is misaligned (pics) And I still have my Q500 4k, I decided today out of boredom to throw the CGO3 from the Q500, onto the YTH. Quick summery, it functions just fine. Exactly as it does on the Q500 4k. On the ST16 I just had to connect to the CGO3 wifi, and I was off and running. The only two (one is odd) issues are pretty extreme lag, and some hilarious 80's style video glitching. (see the pics) Otherwise, perfectly functional. I know this isn't exciting news, just throwing it out there in case anyone else was curious. Here are a couple shots OF it on the YTH, and WITH it on the YTH.

The Gado 2 digitization robot. Photo courtesy of Project Gado.
More than 11,000 images from the photo archive of the Afro-American newspaper in Baltimore are now hosted by Getty Images, a product of a partnership with the digitization startup Project Gado.
As Technical.ly Baltimore reported in September 2013, Getty joined forces with the Baltimore-based startup, which has been scanning and digitizing images inside the Afro archives since late 2011. The Gado robot automatically picks up and places photographs on a scanner inside the Afro archives, cutting down drastically on the time it takes to digitize photos by hand.
Right now the husband-wife team behind Project Gado — both of whom are graduates of the Johns Hopkins University — are in San Francisco overseeing the establishment of a Silicon Valley office for the startup.

Potential bidders for what's left of bankrupt Hostess Brands will have until Monday to submit official letters of interest, a spokesman said Tuesday.
The Irving-based maker of Wonder Bread, Twinkies and other snacks has begun selling off its brands and property piece by piece. The move came after a worker strike pushed the cash-strapped company over the edge.
So far, Hostess has received inquiries from 160 parties, including 36 consumer food companies, 45 regional bakers, eight supermarkets and a number of investors, said Lance Ignon. Some companies contacted Hostess on behalf of international firms looking to license production of Hostess' brands overseas, he said.
No one has expressed interest in buying the whole company, he said.
Of the interested parties, 68 have signed confidentiality agreements and have been given access to the company's financials.
No deadline has been announced for bids to be submitted.

- 0.1 1) Cider emulator for Android.
- 0.2 2) iEMU iOS emulator
- 1 Changing Appearance on android to make it like iOS.
This Guide will show you the best iOS emulator for android and how to install them.
Android v/s iOS war is going for nearly a decade but no one is a clear winner. Of course Android devices are more popular and dominate the market share but iPhone on the other hand is still runing in the market and is also called a phone with 'unique class',I mean that if you have an Android phone and your friend has an iPhone then all eyes will be on iPhone(at least in India).
The worst of all is that they both have different OS. So if a game is available on App Store and not available on Play store you will not be able to play it so, you are in a loss.
As the major share is of Android in the smartphone market I have a technique to emulate iOS apps on Android. In this guide I will share with you the best iOS emulator for your Android and PC.
These techniques are verified and tested. The first iOS emulator for android is
1) Cider emulator for Android.
Cider emulator or Cyada is one of the best emulator for runing iOS apps on Android. This is the oldest and the best known method and can be implemented on smartphone or PC.
Why Cider is best iOS emulator for Android and PC?
Firstly, Cyder is a very light app and memory efficient. It isn't like one of your NDS emulator which is runing your pokemon games slow(on android).
There are some disadvantages like it doesn't support(bluetooth,gps) but they can be neglected as after all it is a runing app in the market.
Cyder emulator can be just installed on your Android and you can start directly using free iOS app you have been wishing for. It somehow changes iOS apps to Android version so that it can run on your phone.
How to install Cyder iOS emulator for android?
- Download Cyder iOS emulator for Android using this link.
- Install it on your phone. Its safe and virus free.
- Then Directly run it just like an app.
How to install Cyder iOS emulator on PC?
- You can directly download iPadian iOS emulator for PC but if you want it in a android emulator then your good to go with this one.
- Download Nox Player from this given link. If you don't know what Nox Player is, it is an android emulator for PC just like(Bluestacks 2) it is famous for playing and hacking Pokemon GO.
- The setup of Nox Player is of 328 MB(approx.)
- After the download is complete then its time to install Cyada emulator that will run all the iOS apps on it.
- It's done enjoy using iOS apps on PC and android simultaneously.
The other iOS emulator that you can run on android is
2) iEMU iOS emulator
You can also download iOS apps on your phone and run it using iEMU. It is one of the fastest and efficient way to run iOS apps on android right now.
It changes any iOS app to android app. You can say that it is like a converter!
Features of iOS emulator.
- Play iOS apps and games on android/PC
- It needs android version 2.3 or higher
- The size of this iOS emulator is 62 MB
- Your primary device(on which you are planning to install this) should have above 512 MB RAM
How to download and install this iOS emulator on android/PC?
- Download from this link
- Install the app on your phone just like any other app.
- Now after it is installed you are ready to play iOS apps on your android.
How to install this on PC?
- If you have bluestacks 2 or Nox player app on your PC then you can apply the same procedure and play it on PC. But personally I will recommend going for iPadian iOS 10 if you want to play on PC.
Changing Appearance on android to make it like iOS.
Now you have in a way converted all your iOS apps to run in android. But that's it? you don't you want to transform your android into and iPhone? if yes then download all these apps mentioned below and your android will be just like iPhone.
If you have any questions or suggestion please comment below.

Skinned Deep Trailer (2004)
14 February 2004 Horror, Comedy 97 mins
The horror film Skinned Deep begins when a family suffers a flat tire on a barren stretch of road with only a diner dotting the landscape. They meet Granny, the seemingly nice old woman who runs the establishment, but they soon find that she is the leader of a deranged clan. The family is slain, with the exception of their teenage daughter, Tina whom one of the sons in the family, Brain (a boy with an externalized brain much larger than his head), takes a romantic interest in. Soon a group of bikers show up, forcing the girl to figure out which group of crazies she should throw in with in order to stay alive.

'Insidious: Chapter 2' Looks Even Creepier Than the Original in New Trailer
The trailer for Insidious: Chapter 2 is out, and it looks, if possible, even creepier than the original. The Lambert family is back, but this time it's the father and husband (played by Patrick Wilson) who's haunted.
It's been two years since the family survived their son's haunting, and Chapter 2 finds them happy, whole, and staying at grandma's house. But it all goes wrong when a creepy ghost woman in a white dress (creepy ghost women are always in white dresses) shows up, and the family realizes it's being haunted once again.
The Lamberts seek the help of a medium, visit dark and creepy places that are filled with cobwebs and ghosts, and even resort to pulling out teeth. There's no telling if the Lamberts will survive this haunting. All we know is that this franchise has a thing for ghosts who speak through baby monitors and make rocking horses move on their own.
Insidious: Chapter 2 hits theaters on September 13, which is, of course, a Friday.

JAckson: Karl's illness will influence return
Phil Jackson says seeing Denver Nuggets coach George Karl sidelined last season with throat cancer will influence his decision on whether to return as coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Jackson was the headline speaker Sunday at a meeting of Western governors in Whitefish, Mont.
Jackson told reporters after his speech that he's waiting to hear from doctors on whether he's healthy enough to make it through another 82-game regular season. He says he wouldn't want to leave his team without a coach in the middle of the season, as Karl was forced to do earlier this year.
"My concern to be quite blunt, is I don't want to happen what happened to Denver and George Karl," Jackson said.
The 64-year-old Jackson has two replaced hips, a sore knee requiring a brace under his suit during the season and a previous heart problem.
Wallace Spearmon and Consuella Moore won national titles in the 200 meters at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Des Moines, Iowa.

Moore, who recently returned to the track after an extended absence, won in 22.40, edging out Shalonda Solomon.
David Oliver upset David Payne in the 110 hurdles, breezing to the victory in 12.93. Payne, the silver medalist in the Olympics two years ago, finished fourth.
Shot putter Christian Cantwell won his second straight outdoor title with a heave of 71 feet, 1/2 inch.
Alysia Johnson won the women's 800 in 1:59.87, while Nick Symmonds took his third straight American title in the 800 in 1:45.98.
The United States defeated Australia 9-2 to remain unbeaten at the world softball championship in Caracas, Venezuela.
Olympic champion Japan also remained unbeaten with a 2-1 win against Canada 2-1.
The U.S. and Japan are each 5-0 with two more games to play in the group stage. Quarterfinals are set for Wednesday.
Today, the U.S. plays the Dominican Republic and Japan faces Britain.
Detroit Lions President Tom Lewand apologized after he was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving while at a charity golf tournament in northern Michigan.
Lewand said in a statement Saturday night that he is "deeply sorry" for his actions and takes full responsibility.
A team spokesman confirmed Sunday that Lewand was arrested and released Friday night. Lewand was attending a charity golf event in Houghton Lake, about 150 miles northwest of Detroit.
Iziane Castros Marques scored 21 of her 25 points in the second half and the host Atlanta Dream rallied from a 16-point second-quarter deficit to beat the Los Angeles Sparks 89-81.
The Sparks have lost three straight since losing injured Candace Parker for the season.
Michael Phelps lost his second final in two days at the Paris Open, finishing third in the 200-meter freestyle.
Yannick Agnel of France set a national record of 1 minute, 46.30 seconds. He was followed by Sebastiaan Verschuren of the Netherlands in 1:46.97 and Phelps in 1:47.54.
But later Sunday, Phelps capped the meet by winning the 200-meter medley in 1 minute, 58.95 seconds.
The San Diego SeaLions (4-3-1, 13 pts.) improved their playoff chances with a 3-1 victory over the host Claremont Stars in a Women's Premier Soccer League match Sunday.
The SeaLions scored on their first shot of the game in the second minute when Laura Linehan hit a through-ball to Michelle Spacciapolli, who buried it.
Nine minutes later, the two paired up again for a score when Linehan knocked in a Spacciapolli cross. Alex Webber delivered the SeaLions' third goal in the 89th minute.
Saturday night, Alex Topp scored in the 88th minute to give the SeaLions a 2-1 victory over visiting LAFC Chelsea.
Another son of Michael Jordan appears headed to play for Central Florida.
Jeffrey Jordan posted on his Twitter account that he was off to UCF, his "new school." The school had not made an official announcement.
The 6-foot-1 point guard left Illinois in May after playing two seasons. He would have to sit out the 2010-11 season under NCAA transfer rules. Jeffrey Jordan would join his younger brother, Marcus, who was a freshman for UCF last season.
beach VOLLEYBALL
San Diegans Matt Motter and Mike Placek lost a match early Saturday at the Corona Light Wide Open in Huntington Beach but battled back through the contender's bracket.

fuck gifting is for poor noobs who can't afford to play a free game.
i was wondering how to get NX other for gifting. dam nexon wont give a single info on how to get nx other -.-
fuck gifting is for poor noobs who can't afford to play a free game.
there is no way to gift nx other, and there will never be, trust me... all nx i ever bought was other and i was suppose to gift alot of people, but i couldnt. sucks for the other not me, lol
NX are nor noobs.noobs noskilled who pay to play better.fuck nexon.they said that in the blackmarket wouldn't be any advantage than GP items.now fail again
i really just use NX to test out some weapons or things... best things i have bought is the M416, Ninjato, EXP bonus, Circle crosshair, and i guess thats it, but i still wanna buy the Specialist and some weapons.lol, then i wonder whats the point of nx other? the only nx items tahts worth to buy is artic wolf, mei, and 25% bonus exp xD which i got
Last edited by alfonso951; 06-28-2009 at 06:00 PM.
NX weapon are special items, but now I think it just bring out godlike gear to players who pay for a so called 'free' game.
CA is not label as a free game, sense you only get the best out of it by paying.
It just not free game sense, you only get acutal good things and stuff by buying and using NX.
That is like saying AVG is a free antivirus program, it is free to use and download.
But it not free, to get the full services and full prtection you'll have to buy it.
Well then I shall tell you ^^
Inorder to get nx other you must buy your nx through paypal or flexpay ONLINE.
Inorder to get nx prepaid you have to buy nxgame cards at a store NOT online.
Well there ya go
also to end the argument about free to play
My cousin who only uses gp bought hand guns beat one of my best clan players in a fight and all of his items and i mean ALL of his items were nx but my cousin only used gp and beat him.
Yes i agree nx does give you a bit of an edge over the other players but if yo have true skills you dont even need to pay to be the best you can just train.
I buy a little nx now and then it makes the game just that more enjoyable but remember this is just a game not your life have fun ^^

Owning up to it
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
So as of this writing I haven't even thought about making healthy food choices for a good solid two months. "What is wrong with me?" is what goes through my head most days. Not because I'm not tracking but because of my overeating problem.
I'm finally admitting to myself and to the world that I am a binge eater. I've called it "emotional eating" for many years now but I don't think that really does it justice in my situation. I believe it started as emotional eating but over the 12 yrs that my weight has been an issue it's snowballed.
Long story short: moved away from hometown with hubby and 18 month daughter. Knew absolutely nobody in new town and was a stay a home mom. Pregnant with son, big time postpartum depression diagnosed. Pregnant with son #2 which was a complete surprise, many complications. Again postpartum depression. Still a SAHM but friends down here. Horrible appendicitis, surgery was botched beyond belief almost died. Began the descent into depression.
Through all of this I turned to food to comfort me, keep me company when bored, take away the stress and nurture me. But at this point, and probably for the past 1-2 yrs, I binge. I will eat a healthy breakfast with kids before school. Drop them off, come home and eat leftovers from last nights dinner. Follow that with something sweet for dessert. Now it's lunchtime so I eat more leftovers + more sweet. Next I want something crunchy and of course sweet comes next again. Then before I go get the kids I usually eat one more "snack". After the kids are home they all have a snack (which I always make sure is healthy) so I go ahead and snack with them. Then it's dinner which is homecooked and good for you and I only have one small portion because I'm so stuffed from earlier. Sometimes after dinner we will have a sweet treat or popcorn, again I only have regular size portions if I have any at all.
The whole time I'm eating I'm thinking about how full I feel, how tired it makes me and what I will shove in my mouth next. I make sure and wash dishes up and bury any wrappers down in the garbage so nobody sees my indiscretions.
And all of this realization came about when I picked up a book at the library called "Feeding the Hungry Heart" by Geneen Roth. Originally printed back in 1982 it's a collection of quick essays and short stories written by women who have suffered from compulsive eating. It really struck home with me and I could see myself in a few of the writings. It was a major slap in my face- wake up call that brought tears to my eyes.
Tomorrow I will talk with my hubby (as he's already in bed for the night) and then call my therapist because I know I can't do this alone.

NFMRI recognises the valuable time researchers and reviewers spend preparing and assessing applications for support. To assist in managing this valuable resource, NFMRI asks all applicants to firstly complete and submit an expression of interest form (EOI). Shortlisted expressions of interest will be invited to submit a more detailed application relevant to the portfolio selected in their EOI. Prior to completing the EOI, all applicants should read and understand the information relating to the support provided by the Foundation. Particularly, applicants should review their application's strategic fit with the mission of the Foundation, the three research portfolios and consider how their research advances innovation, noting any nominated areas of priority.
Applicants will find the Foundation's introduction and strategy document helpful and we strongly advise applicants to consider these when preparing an EOI.

Submitting EOI, Application and Acquittal Forms
All documents uploaded should include the surname of the chief investigator in the file name.
Please complete all fields, upload your form and don't forget to press submit. Please note that close to deadlines the volume of researchers submitting their EOIs can lead to slower submission processing.

Disclaimer: J.K. Rowling does not equal me.
Author's note: More Regulus! The inspiration just keeps coming. This actually wasn't even one of the ones I mentioned in the author's note for 'Broken Words,' although those are still coming. This oneshot was just me being distracted. Also, I really love writing young Regulus and Sirius. They're so cute.
"Oh! You got it!" Seven-year-old Regulus squealed with delight.
The Black brothers hunched over the toad clenched in Sirius' hands. They had recently found a book of muggle fairy tales and enjoyed it immensely. As a result, they now believed that all frogs were secretly princesses. They ignored the fact that in the story it was a frog prince the same way they ignored everything else that contradicted their ideas of how the world worked.
"Do you think it's really a princess?" Regulus asked.
"It has to be," Sirius reasoned. "Otherwise it wouldn't have let us catch it."
Regulus nodded in agreement. He didn't quite follow his older brother's logic, but Sirius sounded very sure. Besides, in Regulus' opinion, Sirius knew everything.
Sirius was studying the toad in his hands carefully.
"I dub thee Princess Silverymoon Fairywing Glimmer McSparkles!" he declared.
Regulus giggled.
"Kiss her, Siri!" he said.
Sirius looked up at him.
"Me!" he stuttered. "You're gonna kiss her, Reg!"
Regulus started.
"Why me?" he asked.
"Have you ever kissed a girl?" Sirius asked.
"Well, no," Regulus admitted. "Have you?"
Sirius nodded enthusiastically.
"I kissed Mimi Lovegood at the Christmas party last year," he announced proudly.
Now that he thought about it, Regulus could vaguely remember the incident. If he recalled correctly, Mimi had actually been the one who did the kissing, and it had been on the cheek. Still, it counted.
"But that means you know how to do it," Regulus pointed out. "You should kiss her."
"No, you should do it," Sirius insisted. "I can't hog all the fun."
"You're not afraid to do it, are you?" Sirius asked with an evil grin.
"Of course not!" Regulus insisted.
"Then kiss her," Sirius demanded.
"Fine! I will!" Regulus declared.
He hesitantly took the toad from his brother and pressed his lips to its slimy skin.
Nothing happened.
The brothers looked at each other.
"It didn't work," Regulus remarked.
"Maybe I should try?" Sirius wondered hesitantly.
Regulus held the toad out towards his brother.
Sirius reached out his hands to accept, but as the transfer took place, Princess Silverymoon Fairywing Glimmer McSparkles escaped the boys' hands and hopped away to freedom.
"After her!" Sirius called.
The two boys ran after the escaped toad, but it had already gotten out of their reach. After an hour, they conceded that it was truly gone and went to search for another frog.
"Regulus! Sirius!"
Their father's voice summoned them back to the house. The boys looked at each other nervously. Had he somehow found out about that book? But they didn't dare disobey the call. As they returned to the house Sirius straightened his back and tried to look confident. Regulus kept close to his brother and hunched his shoulders, trying to escape notice. They succeeded only in looking incredibly guilty.
"Regulus, don't slouch," was their father's only comment. "Please come inside, boys."
Relieved that they seemed safe for the moment, Regulus and Sirius allowed themselves to relax slightly. They followed their father indoors, to where a tall, serious-looking man and a girl, several years older than Sirius and dressed in a completely unflattering shade of pink, were waiting.
"Regulus, Sirius, this is Mr. Umbridge and his daughter, Dolores," their father told them. "Mr. Umbridge and I are going to be discussing some business. I'd like you boys to entertain Dolores for a few hours."
"Yes, Father," the brothers chorused.
Secretly, both boys were already plotting millions of evil pranks to play on the girl. A shared glance cemented the deal. Dolores Umbridge would not leave the house unchanged.
After the parents had left the room, Dolores flounced over to the frilliest chair in the room, the one no one ever sat in, and perched on the edge. When she wasn't looking, Sirius made a gagging face. Regulus giggled.
"What are you two up to?" she asked. "Don't giggle, Sirius. It's rude and it makes you sound like a girl."
"It was Regulus!" Sirius protested.
Regulus was glaring daggers at her. He did not sound like a girl.
"I don't care," she replied.
She retrieved a thick book, entitled 'The Rise of the Ministry of Magic,' from her bag and began reading.
"Go get me some tea," she ordered. "Earl Grey, a teaspoon of cream and three tablespoons of sugar."
The boys obediently left the room. However, tea was the last thing on their minds.
"I hate her," Regulus declared.
Sirius nodded.
"We have to do something," he decided.
"We could put something in her tea," Regulus suggested.
Sirius shook his head.
"No, we need something better," he said. "I've got it! We'll put something in her tea!"
Regulus rolled his eyes, but agreed eagerly.
"I bet we can find something in Dad's potions cabinet!" Sirius decided excitedly.
Regulus followed, grinning, as his brother ran towards their father's room. Father was busy with Mr. Umbridge, and Mother was out having tea with Aunt Lucretia, so they were safe from discovery.
The boys snuck into the room and opened the chest by the foot of the bed. They were confronted with row after row of carefully labeled bottles. Sirius pulled out a few bottles and Regulus did the same. He looked at the label of one.
"Veri-, Verita-," he attempted to read the label. "Sirius, what does that say?"
Sirius took the bottle and inspected the label, before casually tossing it back in the chest.
"It says it's a very boring potion that doesn't do anything interesting," Sirius decided.
"You're just making that up cause you can't read it either," Regulus accused.
"Of course not!" Sirius insisted. "That's what it said!"
Regulus didn't believe him, but he decided not to argue the point any further. Sirius was probably right about it being boring.
"Ooh! Let's use this one!" Sirius said.
Regulus looked at the bottle in his brother's hand.
"Polyjuice," he read. "What does it do?"
"I think it makes you look like other people," Sirius recalled.
Regulus' eyes widened.
"You can do that?"
Sirius nodded eagerly.
"Who should we make her look like?" he asked.
Regulus considered this for a second. It had to be someone really ugly. Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him.
"We could make her look like a frog!" he announced. "Then someone will kiss her and get her instead of a princess."
Sirius' face lit up.
"That's brilliant!" he declared.
The brothers brought the potion to the kitchen, leaving the rest of potions strewn haphazardly around their father's room.
Regulus' job was to boil some water for tea as Sirius went out to catch another frog. Regulus found a large pot easily enough, and filled it with water. Of course, he hadn't considered the fact that the pot was now twice as heavy as it had been and quite impossible for him to lift.
"Kreacher!" he called.
The house elf appeared instantaneously.
"What can I do for you, Master Regulus?" he asked.
"Can you put this on the stove and start boiling it?" Regulus requested.
"Yes, Master Regulus," Kreacher agreed happily.
The tiny house elf picked up the huge cauldron and carried it over to the stove as if it weighed nothing.
Regulus, meanwhile, began rooting through the cabinets for some tea. It was then that he made an amazing discovery.
"Kreacher! Go get Sirius!" Regulus yelled as he attempted to get down from the countertop.
Moments later, the house elf reappeared with Sirius.
"I was just about to catch one!" the latter was complaining. "Couldn't you have waited three seconds?"
"Look what I found!" Regulus exclaimed.
He held up the jar of dried frogs' legs.
Sirius' eyes widened.
"Bloody hell!" he gasped.
It was a phrase he'd heard a muggle say once and he was very fond of it.
"You're not supposed to say that," Regulus reminded him. "Mother will get mad."
"Well Mother's not here," Sirius pointed out. "Anyway, you should try disobeying her every once in a while. A little rebellion is good for you."
"Disobey Mother?" Regulus repeated.
He couldn't do that! Mother was, well, Mother. Regulus worshipped and feared her in equal measures.
"Come on," Sirius encouraged him. "Just say 'bloody hell' once. It won't kill you."
Regulus swallowed nervously and fiddled with the locket around his neck.
"Bloody hell," he said finally, in a voice that was little more than a whisper.
Sirius cheered and Regulus grinned. Why did he feel so triumphant?
"Bloody hell," he repeated.
And again, louder this time.
"Bloody hell!"
"Shh!" Sirius warned him. "She might hear you."
Regulus understood immediately. It would be rather awkward if Dolores decided she needed to check on them.
"Master Sirius is being a bad influence on Master Regulus," Kreacher observed from where he was pouring the boiling water into a teapot.
"Please don't tell anyone, Kreacher," Regulus said. "I don't want Sirius to get in trouble."
"Yes, Master Regulus," Kreacher agreed halfheartedly.
"Bring over that teapot and a teacup," Sirius ordered.
"Yes, Master Sirius," Kreacher obeyed reluctantly.
Sirius snatched the tea items and filled the cup half full with tea.
"How much potion do you think we need?" he asked.
Regulus shrugged.
"I suppose we'd better just throw the whole thing in," Sirius decided, dumping the entire contents of the vial into the cup.
The liquid turned a strange shade of orange.
Regulus, following his example, upended the entire bottle of frog's legs into the the cup.
The liquid hissed and turned a nasty, greenish color.
"Some cream and sugar should cover it up," Sirius remarked.
Regulus poured a generous helping of cream into the cup while Sirius piled in the sugar. It didn't look exactly like tea, but it would pass. Regulus carefully carried the cup into the sitting room and handed it to Dolores. She didn't even look at it as she raised it to her lips and took a sip.
For a few seconds, nothing happened. Regulus and Sirius waited with bated breath for… something. Suddenly, Dolores dropped her book and screamed. Her skin began to turn green with brown splotches and wart-covered, her eyes grew bigger and her mouth, wider. Leaves sprouted from her head. Her limbs thickened and changed until there was a half-human, half-amphibian-cow-plant-thing seated on the chair. She croaked mournfully.
"Bloody hell," the Black brothers whispered in awe.
"What is going on here?" an aristocratic voice asked.
The boys whirled around to see their father and Mr. Umbridge standing in the door.
"She wanted some tea, so we asked Kreacher to get it," Sirius lied. "That house elf must have put something in it."
"Kreacher!" their father called.
The house elf appeared immediately.
"Yes, Master?"
"Did you put something in Miss Dolores' tea?"
Kreacher looked at Regulus and back at his master.
"Yes, Master," he said.
Regulus' father frowned.
"Do not lie," he ordered.
"I am not, Master," Kreacher said.
Regulus could see him digging his nails into his hand behind his back, as a punishment for disobeying his master.
"No!" Regulus shouted.
"I did it," he admitted. "I found some potion called Polyjuice and I put it in her tea. I thought it would be funny."
"It was my idea," Sirius insisted. "I made him help me."
Regulus looked at his big brother and smiled slightly. Sirius might not like getting caught for a prank, but he would never let Regulus take the full blame for anything. It was against his principles, he claimed. Regulus wasn't sure what 'principles' were, but he thought Sirius had good ones.
"Daddy!" Dolores croaked desperately.
"I think our deal no longer stands," Mr. Umbridge announced coldly.
"I do apologize for my offspring," Orion Black said. "They're young and they don't know better. I don't think we should cut off the deal just for a bit of childish fooling around."
"Sirius is nearly ten," Mr. Umbridge reminded him. "He, at least, should know better. I find it repulsive that you haven't taught them to behave by now."
"Sirius is a troublesome one," Orion remarked. "His mind is a bit…unstable. He's quite impossible to teach. And little Regulus just doesn't understand."
Regulus glared at his father. He didn't understand exactly what was going on, but he could tell that Father was insulting both him and Sirius. Sirius was just barely keeping his anger in check.
"Don't make excuses!" Mr. Umbridge said. "I need to get my daughter to St. Mungo's. You'd better hope she recovers."
Mr. Umbridge stepped forward and took his sobbing daughter in his arms. Within seconds, he was gone.
Orion Black turned his full attention to his children. Regulus cowered under his fierce glare, but Sirius stared back evenly, daring his father to punish him. Orion lashed out and slapped Sirius. Sirius kept his back straight and his face defiant. Only Regulus could see how much the blow hurt his brother.
"Father! Don't!" he begged.
His father now turned his attention to Regulus. He lashed out a second time, and this time it was Regulus who felt the blow. The pain assaulted him, but he was determined to be brave, like Sirius. He wouldn't cry. Caught up in his own pain, he almost didn't see Sirius, furious at his brother's mistreatment, shooting a burst of pure energy from his palms. Their father might have been sent flying if he hadn't put up a shield in time.
"That's enough foolishness," he warned. "Both of you are grounded until further notice."
He grabbed both of them by the wrist and dragged them upstairs. Sirius was deposited roughly in his room and the door was locked firmly behind him. Regulus received similar treatment.
For a few seconds, Regulus sat dejectedly on the floor, seconds away from crying. Then, he stiffened his resolve and stood up. He peered closely at his reflection in the mirror above his dresser. After a few seconds, his reflection was replaced by another face.
"Siri!" he whispered excitedly.
"Are you okay, Reg?" Sirius asked, looking worried.
Regulus nodded. His cheek still stung, but he didn't want to worry Sirius. It would surely be better soon.
"How long do you think we'll be stuck this time?" Sirius asked casually.
"A really long time," Regulus guessed. "I hope he lets us out before it's time for us to go to Hogwarts."
"If he doesn't, we'll break out," Sirius decided.
"Definitely," Regulus agreed.
Silence prevailed for a few moments.
"Can you read me the story?" Regulus asked quietly.
Sirius nodded. He disappeared for several seconds, then reappeared with a thick, red book. The words "Grimm's Fairy Tales" were embossed on the front and side in gold lettering. He opened the book to a page near the middle and began to read.
"Once upon a time…"
Author's Note02: Just in case anyone cares, Princess Silverymoon Fairywing Glimmer McSparkles went on to create a very large family and eventually became the grandfather(Sirius couldn't tell a boy toad from a girl toad) of a certain toad known as Trevor. And, yes, I took that name from one of the lists of 'Things I'm not allowed to do at Hogwarts.'
