Chapter Forty Four - The Fort2 Reviews
He leaned in a little, but he wasn't sure if it was a smart move. Regardless, he pressed his gentle lips to hers.
Chapter Forty Four - The Fort
The smell of blood filled her nostrils and the air around her, their screams still ringing in her ears.
Two dead bodies lay infront of her, one belonged to a woman in her late twenties, the other to a girl who was tweleve years old. She was pleased that she'd managed to dispose of them as quickly as she had, but her only regret was that one of them had managed to escape.
"Alexandria?" Dr. Isoda said as she called her.
"Yes, Dr. Isoda, it's me. I just thought I'd tell you that Louise and Lisa Revenea have been killed, just as you asked, however Louise's partner and Lisa's father, Oliver, managed to escape."
"Do not worry, it was only Louise who had the information we needed. There is no need for us to panic over the fact that he escaped."
"Very well. Do you wish for me to find him and kill him?"
"No, do not trouble yourself with what is not neccesary. I wish for you to come back to Battery City so I can explain your next mission."
"Very well, Dr. Isoda."
Acid woke up in a cold sweat after dreaming about the death of Louise and Lisa Revenea. Oliver was the man who'd recognized her the other day and she'd killed his wife and daughter.
She got up off the couch and walked into the kitchen to get some water. It'd been a week since they picked up her car and ran into Oliver. Ever since then, she'd started to become a little more depressed. It made it more real that her past had really happened and that it wasn't just an extremely bad dream.
She had to admit, things with Poison were a tad easier. He'd become a little worried about her ever since she cried into his chest a week ago. He just wanted her to be okay, the last thing he wanted her to be was depressed. He knew how it felt and he didn't wish that on any body.
Acid and Static had been talking a lot more. Static tried to take her mind off things and it seemed to work. Acid hadn't realized how much she'd actually missed Static. Acid had also been talking to Ghoul and Jet a lot more recently. She understood why her sister was close friends with Ghoul, he managed to see a bright side to everything not to mention the fact that it was easy to be around them both since they always managed to squeeze a laugh or two out of her.
However, Bandit saw the change in her mother. She didn't bring it up, she just tried to cheer her up a lot of the time.
She took a sip of water, feeling it run down her throat and into her stomach. It was around five in the morning, the sun was barely beginning to rise, it was still dim outside.
She was about to return to the couch, but the front door was unlocked.
She ducked down and grabbed her gun, ready to shoot if they turned out to be a threat to her and her family at the diner.
"Jesus, Violet, I swear to God if you stand on my foot one more time."
"Jeez, sorry Storm. It's fucking dark here."
"Will you guys just shut the fuck up? We'll wake someone up and they'll think we're intruders."
"Sorry." Both of the voices, Acid assumed were called Storm and Violet, said in unision.
Acid managed to remain unseen, she got close enough to one of them and pressed her gun to their side.
"Who are you and what the fuck are you doing here?" She demanded to know.
The voice laughed. She knew who the laugh belonged to straight away. It made her heart feel warm and fuzzy,
"Ace, it's me. It's Curse."
Violet found a light and turned it on, Acid was able to see Curse. She noticed her gun was still pressed to his side. She removed it straight away and wrapped her arms around him.
"Jesus, you have no idea how much I've missed you. How long has been? Ten, twenty years?" She joked.
He grinned, letting out a small chuckle. "Actually, it's been three weeks, but it's nice to know I've been missed."
"You have no idea."
"Believe me, I do. I've missed you a fucking lot."
She pulled away and noticed that there were other people with them now. Aside from Blondie and Sunny, there were four other girls there. All of them looked around twenty, one of them had black hair that faded into a vibrant blue, one had bright blue curly hair with a purple streak in it and the other two had a similar brown-ish blond-ish colour.
"Acid, these are my friends Violet," he pointed to the blue haired girl, who was smiling kindly at Acid. "Storm," the half black half blue haired girl waved, not smiling. "Light and Bel. We were staying with them, but we thought we'd pay a visit."
"Nice to meet you all. Did you find the girl you were looking for?"
"No, it turned out to be a false lead."
She nodded. "Well, the guest room's still free if you all wanna crash in there."
"Sure, thanks Acid." Violet said.
All of them, except Curse, left to go to their room.
"By the way, did we wake you up?"
"No, I'd literally just gotten up for some water after yet another nightmare."
"You're still having nightmares?"
She nodded. "Yup. Some nights I don't have them, others I do."
He sighed. "I'm sorry, Ace. They're all about what happened before you came here again, right?"
She nodded.
"You wanna talk about it?"
She smiled sadly.
"I just feel like I'm seven years old again. I had a really bad nightmare once. My mom and dad fell asleep in front of the tv one night, so I got the remote and I accidentally put on a horror movie. They woke up since there was a lot of screaming and they put me to bed. I had creepy dreams about the clown in the horror movie, so I woke up my dad. I was convinced that the clown was under my bed, so I refused to go back in there. My dad got out of bed with me and we went into the living room. I don't know why, but I wanted to make a fort. I told him that I'd feel safe in a fort so we made one and I told him all about the nightmare. I eventually fell asleep in the fort and so did my dad. Death heard us talking and came in with us, she was only two." A smile crept up on her face at the distant memories.
He had an idea. "Let's do that."
"Do what?"
"Make a fort."
She arched an eye brow. "Are you serious?"
"Totally, it sounds like fun. You've got blankets on the couch, we can make it out of that!" He started to get excited at the thought of making a fort.
She laughed a little. "You really wanna make a fort, don't you?"
"Hells yeah!"
She rolled her eyes playfully. "Okay, fine. We'll make a fort."
Acid didn't really do much work, it was mainly Curse who made their magical fortress since he insisted she was 'making it all wrong', as he put it in a joking way. After it was complete, they got in and sat opposite eachother.
"So, tell me about this nightmare of yours, if you still wanna talk about it."
She explained what happened the other day with Kobra and Oliver and how she'd killed his wife and child.
"Holy shit . . . Ace . . . I can't say how fucking sorry I am."
"'S not your fault, Curse, it's mine. I mean I was the one who did it. And please don't say that I wasn't me when I did it 'cause that's what everyone's been saying lately."
"They've been saying it for a reason. You're a great person."
"I'm not. Good people don't kill innocent people for no fucking good reason. That's what bad people do."
"Look at me." She looked into his eyes. "You're a good person, Ace. You're an amazing mother, you're selfless, you're funny, you're intelligent, you're loyal, you're trustworthy and you're fucking georgous inside and out."
If she wasn't so upset, she would've blushed. Instead, her eyes filled with tears for the millionth time that week. "I don't feel like any of those things, Curse. I feel the fucking opposite and I'm fucking crying yet again."
"Hey sshh, it's okay."
"No it's not. It's never gonna be okay again after what I've done. I can't just forget something like that."
"I don't expect you to. I just want you to know that you're important to me and a lot of people here."
"I'm important to you?"
"Ace, you're all I've thought about for three weeks straight, of course you're important to me."
She paused. "I just . . . sometimes, I wake up and I can handle it. I can put on a brave face and be a decent mom, but others . . . I just think about what I've done and it's fucking hard to stop thinking about it. I just think sometimes that I don't deserve to be here, I don't even fucking deserve to be called a Killjoy."
"Of fucking course you have the right to be called a Killjoy! You've done so many good things, Ace, and you mean a lot to everyone here. Like I said before, you mean a lot to me. I probably care about you more than I should and you're one of the main reasons I convinced everyone to come back here with me so I could see you again." The last part slipped out before he even realized he'd said it.
She slowly remembered something. Her sister had mentioned the fact that everyone thought Curse had a crush on her . . . was her sister telling the truth or was Acid just taking everything he was saying about her the wrong way?
"Can we just stop talking about this for now? I've been feeling shitty and this isn't really making me feel any better by talking about how I feel about myself."
He nodded. "Okay."
"I've been feeling shitty and I need a hug."
He smiled sadly, wrapping his arms around her body. He held her close as if she were the last person on earth. He didn't want to let go of her, nor did she want to let go of him. They were happy hugging like there was no tomorrow.
Eventually, she pulled away, but stayed close to him. He kissed her forehead, rubbing her shoulder lightly with his hand.
She looked up at him, looking into his eyes. He looked into hers, he loved the pale green of her eyes. He'd loved them since they day he met her.
He leaned in a little, but he wasn't sure if it was a smart move. Regardless, he pressed his gentle lips to hers.
Acid wasn't sure of what to think. Did she kiss back? Did she pull away and scream? She didn't want to do the last option, that was for sure, so she gentley kissed back.
The kiss was sweet, innocent. He smiled in the kiss since she was kissing him back. He'd wanted to feel her lips on his for what seemed like years now and she wasn't freaking out at all. If anything, it seemed like she was enjoying the kiss.
He rested his hand on her cheek, pulling her slightly towards him.
She continued to plant soft kisses on his lips, but eventually, she stopped and so did he.
She looked at him and smiled softly. "G'night, Curse."
He returned the smile. "G'night, Ace."
She rested her head on his shoulder, then drifted off into a deep, dreamless sleep under their fort.

While his wife island hops off the coast of North Carolina without him, Jon Gosselin returned to their Pennsylvania home on Thursday.
The 32-year-old father of eight may not have a chunk-striped, bi-level reverse mullet weave, but he does have a hideous douchey hoodie to call his own.
In case you all didn't read that thoroughly, he was "returning to their Pennyslvania home". Meaning, he had been gone and was returning. Either way, even if he were to move out, it wouldn't be our business one bit -- they will let us know as much or as little as they want to.
He can pack his bags and come to me any day, though.;) And by the way, I like the hoodie. No joke, TMZ, find someone else to pick on because your insults about them are tired.
Jon Gosselin...yumm...
Jon & Kate will be yesterday's news and gravy train paycheck almost over too, FINALLY!!!!
I now find myself looking at asian guys differently. I never thought they were hot until Jon.
He is darling...and hot!
such a sad pic of him retrieving his stuff while the rest of the family is away. i honestly hope they get back together and take a break from the camaras
Jon & Kate Plus 8 viewers are suckers, living in a dream world, or brainless.
You can 't pretend yourself out of this kind of misery. You can't hope that the idiot parents Jon & Kate can make a logical choice for their kids. They CAN make money decisions for THEMSELVES.
TLC is an idiot network as well. Ratings dropping like a failed rocket will be their wake-up call.
he kind of looks like a retard
Can someone please explain how a article of clothing can be douchey, from what I see taking pot shots at clothing makes the person who is doing it seem like a douche..just saying.
To people who feel sorry for Kate because Jon missed her Bday. Hey, it's very obvious they are ALREADY SEPARATED during that time. Even Kate's brother Kevin recently gave an interview for Radar Online saying that Jon told them that they have SEPARATED SIX MONTHS AGO.
Now on the new isssue of IN TOUCH magazine a close friend of Jon's brother have confirmed that about six months ago Jon confronted Kate about her ongoing AFFAIR WITH HER BODYGUARD. Obviously, this resulted in agreeing for a separation.
The following is a quoute from In Touch:
"He explained it to us at the bar,â Cruz told the tabloid. âHe said he was completely miserable and the marriage was pretty much done.â
While Jon has received a lot of criticism for visiting bars and flirting with women, he told Todd that it was Kate's alleged affair with Steve Neild that ended the union.
âJon said then that he confronted Kate six months ago about her relationship with the bodyguard,â the source said.
this guy is such a pimp banging all them hoes and still getting paid.
look at him rocking the ed hardy ill bet he gets a couple more bitches with that jacket
Before kate gets back what jon should do is change all of the locks at the house and then see what kate thinks about that
um he looks like a DOUCHE
TMZ you guys are f**king stupid! It's funny how on your show Mark or whatever your boss' name is has had his own "douchey" Ed Hardy shirt. Yes Ed Hardy is a hoosier brand, you guys still sport it.
So is every other word on this site "douche"? Don't these morons have any brain cells left to use another word? Do they think they are cool? I think they are just stupid, ignorant and plain dumb.
Just the kind of viewers Kate and Jon and TLC want. Congratulations, Morons, you have found a purpose for the money grubbing corporate TLC and money whores, Kate and Jon. Too bad that's your only purpose in this life.
Well, I think Jon is very unsupportive - he has been acting like a child since the beginning watch all the episodes. A married man with 8 kids has no business hitting the nightlife without his wife!! He cannot handle the success - I dont believe Kate is the big blame. It is a known fact that man usually dont start maturing until they older 40+. when the show is all said and gone - this kids will have nothing but a big legal fight over child support and more. At last Kate has been trying to earn the money for the future - who cares if the 8 kids are the stars. You know it costs over $300,000 to support a child i.e food, clothing, schooling, entertaining until they are 18 years AND they always need help after that - i.e. college, cars, insurance. Sure most of the population is poor but if you have the opportunity to make money legally,happily and more doit. Not all people with money are mean, nasty and/or unhappy.
Kate, stop saying you wrote the books....more KateCrap...who really wrote the books?
So tired of you feeding crap to your loser viewers who eat this sh-t up.

A lot of families have a no-shoes rule for their homes. It just makes sense, especially for those of us who do the cleaning up after our kids stomp around in mud, playground gravel, and goodness knows what else. And wearing slippers or socks indoors makes everyone feel more cozy at home. I feel like taking my shoes off as soon as I get home helps me transition into a totally different (more relaxed!) mindset. It's the way I was raised, and wearing shoes inside just feels weird.
But I take this healthy habit a step further. I make all our visitors take off their shoes, too. Whether it's kids on a play date or adults coming over for dinner, I'll politely ask you to remove your shoes. In fact, I'm totally shameless about asking everyone.
I know some people think it's rude to ask visitors to remove their shoes. And I still remember that Sex and the City episode where Carrie's Manolos got stolen when a host forced her to remove them. Not everyone comes over prepared to go shoeless, I know -- and I'm not sure hanging out barefoot in my home is much better.
But ... I just can't abide shoes indoors. In New York City, we're always walking over urine, garbage juice, dried vomit, and all kinds of toxic waste. I don't want that tracked into my home! Plus, I don't want to torment my downstairs neighbors with the sound of noisy shoes clunking around overhead. That sound carries like crazy in my building, even with rugs on the floor.
The only people who are exempt are workers. If you're here to fix the sink, install cable, or paint the walls, by all means: Keep your shoes on. Asking fix-it guys to take off their shoes just feels like going too far.
You know what, though? Asking our guests to remove their shoes in my home is never a problem. Maybe it's just that in the city, it's sort of a given that most people take off their shoes when they get home. Usually, my adult visitors kick off their shoes automatically out of habit (on the other hand, most kids will just run in). I don't even say anything.
And by the way, shoes are safe in my hallway. I've known my neighbors for 14 years. They are not shoe-stealers. And none of my friends wear Manolos. For the record, no one covets their dusty brown Merrell mocs, their dingy gray New Balance sneakers, their scuffed clogs. No one. And for those who are worried, I have no problem with people leaving their shoes just inside next to the door.
Ideally, though, I would have a lovely basket filled with soft guest slippers in all sizes. I've known other families who do this and I've just never gotten organized enough to do it myself. I know it would make asking a lot more gracious if I could also hand over the perfect pair of slippers. Make yourself more comfortable! (And help me keep my home clean ...)
Do you ask visitors to remove their shoes in your home?
Image via Ingermaaike2/Flickr
I think that is rude and nasty... Stinky ass feet all over my house... Yuk
I try to encourage shoes off without directly asking. Most people do but i'm not going to insist. I like the idea of guest slippers, If i can find space near my door i might try that.
I wish people would take their shoes off in my house at least when their shoes aren't very clean. I don't ask though because I know people will think I'm rude. I agree though - where have those shoes been? Walking through mud, the bathroom floor at a gas station, or through something else gross that I don't want my little kids crawling through once it's been tracked in to my house? I think it's rude to let your kids step all over my couches with dirty shoes. Who wants to curl up on a couch with dirt all over it? I would never wear muddy shoes or let my kids wear muddy shoes in to someone else's house. I used to think it was tacky when my brother and his wife wanted people to take off their shoes at the door, but now I understand. As gross as stinky feet may be, they aren't as gross as shoes with gosh knows what stuck to the bottom all over the house.
I don't think you should ask people to take their shoes off unless you have slippers or something similar to offer them. I have been to some places where it is common courtesy to remove shoes prior to entering house, but there was usually something simple and soft to put on instead. I definitely wouldn't leave my shoes in a hallway outside a residence.
No. I live in NYC as well and I don't have people take off their shoes. I know a lot of people are not comfortable with the notion for personal reasons (disfigured feet, bad foot odor, etc) and I respect that. If they want to remove them of their own free will, then so be it. I even have extra slippers and what not if they want it, but I don't ask people. I mean it's not that hard to run a broom or mop behind them after they leave if you feel it's necessary. I think asking is rude.
I prefer no one wears them in

new Oakland Whole foods..shocking ..rant [Moved from Not About Food]
- jason carey Sep 26, 2007 05:31 PM
I dropped by the new Oakland Whole Foods today.. here is my depressing report..
First,on the positive side. as usual the store is very sexy and slick.
Here is the sad part. First, I had forgotten how over priced the place is (had been to other ones and forgot why I boycott the place) .. much higher than Berkeley bowl (for produce anyways). You would think that with all their massive buying power they would charge decent prices, but they over charge on everything. I don't know why this store is so successful.
Some observations..
Crappy non local produce, at higher than farmer's market prices. For example icky over waxed apples from South america, when Great local stuff is flying off the trees right now.
Fish was not particularly fresh looking, even though it was opening day.. Cloudy eyed fish on display. dried out looking squid, silmy fish fillets.
Wine prices are very high, 10-20 % higher than wine stores, even small ones.
Some wines I have seen for 14 dollars are 18 dollars there. some 10 dollar wines are 12 dollars.. dosent sound like much??? well I think 20% is a lot more .. just add up the cost over a year.. and their "sale" prices on like 10 wines are only a dollar lower (or the same) than the regular everyday prices at many stores.. for Example Ridge Geyserville "on sale" for 28.49 or something like that ,, when it can be had everday at other places for 30 dollars..what a bargain.
that is a pricey example but you get the picture...
How do they get away with this .. with ALL THEIR BUYING CLOUT AND POWER, they shoud pass some SAVINGS on to the customer.. I guess even though I live less than 5 minutes away, I will continue to avoid Whole Foods. (even though I am sure I will still shop there in emergency last minute times, YES I am a hypocrite) You would think in a relatively poorer area, they would cut us a break. But I guess its just a place for "aspirational " types who like to see and be seen in the proper mileu and don't care about being ripped off.
I guess the emperor truly has no clothes,, people just convince themselves how great this place is when its alot of flash and not much substance.
By the way there is not enough bicycle parking.. all the slots were full..
Dude, it's "Whole Foods" ... meaning you're getting the chance to pay a premium to avoid all those nasty "partial foods" at the markets 99.9% of the population shops at (careful, they're dying like flies ... LOOK OUT! You almost bought something with white sugar in it!)
Shop where they act like they want you, relax and enjoy life a lot more (those "organic only" treehuggers are dying in equal numbers, they just don't admit it).
re: wayne keyser
Funny stuff, wayne.
jason, I made a couple of visits to the Whole Foods here in Westchester, NY, where by the way they comp for parking but you take your life in your hands trying to battle the yuppies for a space.
Other than finding an amazing Greek yogurt (which even my good ole' standby Stop and Shop has now), I was neither impressed enough with their goods to continue to risk life and limb in the lot, nor was I willing to pay their outrageous prices.
It's a gimmick, and good-o on them that they've found an audience willing to pay those prices. Keeps the economy going, I guess. All flash and no substance seems to be the mantra these days in more than supermarkets. Good post.
mr. carey, consumers in the Bay Area are extremely fortunate--abundancy of neighborhood farmer markets when many of our local farms were paved over and subdivided, one of our blessings-- and WF considers its market niche sufficiently established that competitive/consumer friendly pricing isn't what I expect there. To me it's a 'super-sized' convenience store (no lottery tickets though--it's geared more for bourgeois bohemian) with some inclinations(organic/sustainable foods usw.) compatible with mine. There's a definite economic caste system in supermarket chains, and N.Cal is top heavy with Mollie Stone's, Andronico's, WF, plus locals like Piedmont Grocery in Oaktown. Locally/family-owned Berkeley Bowl is a one-of with a very different ethos, obviously. And you know that some of those items that the big chains say they're "passing savings to the consumer" are micro-margin "loss leaders." cheers
Well said Jason and Im not surprised. Ive become more and more disgruntled with WF here in NJ but I, aslo being a hypocrite, often go there for the salad bars which usually have a good find for lunch.
I have completely transferred all my buying to Trader Joe's which is everything that WF isnt. They treat you great, have great products, and believe it or not at great prices.
I often feel as though I'm the only one who likes Whole Foods. I never do all of my grocery shopping there, but there are quite a few items that I can't find anywhere else.
Their turkey & swiss paninis on pretzel bread are amazing. I love their salmon burgers. They also tend to have higher quality pre-cut fruit than others, at shockingly competitive prices. They're also the only place around here that I've found grind-it-yourself honey-roasted peanut butter.
re: koggit
Ill have to give it to you on the peanut butter and the almond butter that is freshly grinded. Really cant get anything else like that in other places. Their salad bar selection does keep me coming even though I do complain.
To be honest, that turkey/pretzel sandwich you talk about sounds great.
re: koggit
I haven't found the grind-it-yourself station in the new Oakland store, where is it ?
Also , notice there is no bulk section. It is supposed to appear "sometime" I was told.
Then another employee said it would be a "limited selection" of bulk items due to "child safety".
Purchased a "fresh" rock cod filet last night, but should have asked to smell it first. When I got home it smelled too fishy and unusable.
I did get a nice filet mignon from the meat section the night before and the price seemed fine for the quality.
Organic squash was much better tasting than what I purchased from Lucky where it was very cheap.
Shopping Whole foods requires discipline......Many people aren't as fortunate to live in areas with so many options and alternatives......I've found that if you shop for the staples and purchase their 365 store brand you can't go wrong ( ie pasta's, sauces, tuna,.......) . Unfotunately you have to travel elsewhere to complete your shopping list.........We've recently had a Trader Joe's open in the area and have been pleasantly suprised.....although ,once again , discipline is required.....
WF closed the store I would go to now and then for specific items I couldn't get elsewhere at the time. Also , I liked the 365 brand Debbieeq2210 describes, decent quality for pretty cheap. Parking lot was scary though. Remember Gladys from the "over the hedge" movie? I've seen her shopping there.
Despite the aura of entitlement radiating from a lot of the customers, they were the go to place for hard to find items. The second closest one is not all that far, but it's dinky and the produce is rough looking, So, I just don't go anymore, Wegman's is 10 times what WF is.
Although I am fortunate to live in an area that has Whole Foods, Wegmans, and a couple of good independent markets, I do the bulk of my shopping at the farmers market when they are available. I do not live in a part of the country that has year round farmers markets like California. I shop at the farmers market for several reasons: cost, sustainability, and to support the farmers who work so hard to keep us fed. In the end, it is less expensive, I eat seasonally, and I get the opportunity to try new things at the peak of the season. It also gives me a sense of community with my neighbors and the farmers. Whole Foods is a good filler in the winter and of course, I still buy non-produce items (except for organic chickens which I get from a local farm) at the supermarket.
I haven't been to the new Oakland Store yet and since I've moved from SF to the East Bay, haven't shopped at any Whole Foods for a while because there are so many stores that are equal to or better.
That being said, I shopped pretty regularily when I was in SF mainly because of fewer options in that category. In their favor
- good deli. Not everything was successful, but much better than any other supermarket deli and a lot of regular delis.
- good meat counter. The butchers knew what they were doing and I could always count on them to have most of the premium meats. It was my go-to place for my Diestel Thanksgiving turkey
- I like the soups
- SOME ok bakery items ... as long as I was in the store
- good return policy
That being said, it wasn't my regular market. Not so much because of price but because I couldn't get everything there. Sometimes I want regular brands. My breaking point was cat sand. I couldn't get normal cat sand ... or the food my cat liked. Or the cleaning supplies I liked ... or ...
I don't know how many times I walked out ranting I just wanted a NORMAL brand. I wasn't going to stand in long lines, fight for a parking place and then have to go to another market.
As far as my SF store, I rarely bought wine because of the prices you mentioned. The cheese counter had a good selection, but they didn't take good care of it so often that prime cheese wasn't in the best condition.
As far as that Oakland location, I hope you try the Grocery Outlet nearby. It is a similar experience at the other end of the price spectrum ... the way other end. You can't do all your grocery shopping there, but what you buy is at least 50 percent less expensive than a regular market ... and quite frankly there's quite a selection of organic food.

When I first started shopping at WF... it was a completely different experience... it had a cult following, huge bulk section, good produce deals with hard to get stuff, inexpenisve relatively healthy processed foods like cereals, fair trade coffees etc., & prices were lower than the traditional super market chains. It was a place you could really feel good about.
The current CEO completely transformed the business... he realized there is a big group of wannabe foodies who are willing to pay a huge premium for inflating that foodie ego... and he sold out the original WF mission. Now THEY are evil empire... the guy has gone so low as to post anonymous messages on investment sites about Wild Oats... just to hurt their stock price & encourage a takeover (I am not making this up... he is being investigated by the SEC).
Oh... and yes I do shop at WF about 1 a month.
re: Eat_Nopal
The FTC lawsuit is pending as of 5 Audust. I believe.....
When Bread & Circus opened in Cambridge MA it was a wonderful store with everything we wanted in an organic market. When WF bought them out we hung around for a few months, watched the store become high-priced and ordinary then switched our shopping to Trader Joe's as soon as they arrived in our neck of the woods. TJ's, along with local farm stands get our business now....all year long.
re: Gio
I would avoid WF altogether... but my locally owned equivalent (Oliver's) is even more expensive than WF. Oliver should be executed in a public square!
We have a new "gourmet" market in the area... its tiny and I can't do all my shopping there but they definitely seem to be focusing on locally grown stuff, cheaper than the Farmer's Market (most of which is bought in S.F. at wholesale anyway).
Ok, I just went to the Oakland store ... and I strongly disagree with you because this has nothing to do with ANY other Whole Foods ... it is its own unique creation.
It may be one of the most fabulous markets in the Bay Area.
It is not really a market ... more of an indoor village ... for heaven's sake ... there's three restaurants in it ... real restaurants, a candy shop, geleteria and a massage room.
And the thing is ... unlike any mega market ... it didn't exhaust me ... it is like wandering around a little village checking out the specialty shops ... tasting some cheese ... a little this and that ... a stop by the sunny bistro with outdoor tables for coffee.
It is very ... human-oriented ... sort of ... but then again this was just my first impression. There are one or two points I agree with ... and maybe ... just maybe ... the police force in the market might bother me ... to keep the riff raff out?
I was on my way to the Mexican section in Oakland and had my, uh, casual (read street-lady) clothes on. One cop sort of trailed behind me occasionally till they decided I was harmless and unlikely to make off with the $4 pears.
I'll have to see if that Stepford / Disney quality to it puts me off eventually.
But you know ... I just had a street person go baslistic on me at the Berkeley Farmers Market and sometimes you just want to shop and not deal with the real world.
Yes, one of the better local artisan geleterias is there next to the wood-fired pizza oven with leaping flames ... but ... well ... but ... not as un real as Disney but ... not ... quite ... the same as real life ... though if they attached condos to the place, I might be tempted to move in.
One block to Lake Merrit ... five blocks from where St Anthonys distributes free groceries to the long lines that snake around the block ... I'm going to hell for enjoying this place ... let them eat free government cheese ... while I snack on Tsar Nicoli caviar and cheese from remote French villages ... yep ... going to hell ... never should have reflected on this.
Personally, I love the fresh bread and delicious cheese counters!
I'm adoring the fabulous fresh bread available at the new Reno Whole Foods! What a treat it was to taste what interested me first, before deciding on the multigrain. And have the ingredients posted right in front of me!
This bread tastes amazing to me ... dense, packed with seeds and grains ... the perfect complement to the wonderful cheeses I then found at the cheese counter.
The woman helping me at the cheese counter was great when I told her what I was looking for and made several great suggestions for a mild breakfast pairing with the bread: Brillat Savarin Triple Cream Delin and the Le Chevrot Sevre et Belle goat cheese. Both were divinely delicious!
I'm looking forward to visiting again when I'm in Reno tomorrow! To find fresh, quality, well-cared-for products locally is a treasure.

text: Three people were inside of a Robstown home on Winchester Lane when it caught fire Tuesday morning.The Annaville Fire Department responded to the call just before 6 a.m. Firefighters said they had difficulty locating the fire and getting to it.According to the fire chief, there was a fire below the house that had spread through the walls and up into the roof. Firefighters had to cut through three different layers of floor to make sure all the hot spots were out and the fire could not rekindle."My uncle's wife, she says she couldn't sleep, so she was just walking around and she says she started smelling something, and she couldn't figure it out," said Ruby White, a relative of people who live in the home. "So she said the laundry room started getting smoked up. She called my uncle, and they got everybody out."The fire department said they are probably going to rule that the cause of the fire was electrical. The American Red Cross is assisting the family.

MONDAY, Aug. 9 (HealthDay News) -- People who put on even a
little weight around their middle hinder the function of cells that
line their blood vessels, increasing the risk for high blood
pressure and other problems, a new study finds.
These cells, called endothelial cells, are vital for proper
functioning of blood vessels. They control the ability of the
vessel to contract and dilate, which in turn controls blood flow.
Damage to the endothelium can lead to the vessel not functioning
properly and eventually high blood pressure and blood vessel
disease, the researchers noted.
And "when people put on a modest amount of weight, if the fat is
in the belly, those people tended to have a greater impairment of
endothelial function," said lead researcher Dr. Virend K. Somers, a
professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic School of Medicine.
"Endothelial function is a marker of health of the blood
"There is something about fat deposited in the belly that makes it potentially hazardous to health, because impaired endothelial function has been linked to increased risk of high blood pressure and blood vessel disease," Somers said.
The report is published in the Aug. 17 issue of the
Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
For the study, Somers' team randomly assigned 43 normal-weight
adults to either gain about nine pounds or keep their current
The researchers measured endothelial function in the brachial
artery, which is located in the arm. Specifically, they looked for
the ability of the artery to dilate.
Measurements were taken before the study started, after eight
weeks of weight gain and again after 16 weeks of weight loss.
People who gained weight showed a decrease in the ability of the
artery to dilate, the researchers found.
However, when they shed the weight again, the ability of the
brachial artery to dilate properly snapped back to normal.
People tend to ignore minor weight gain, such as the few pounds
they can put on over the holidays, Somers said. "It's only 10
pounds, and that's not much, but even this modest amount of weight
gain has potentially harmful effects for blood vessels," he
Dr. Gregg C. Fonarow, director of the Ahmanson-UCLA
Cardiomyopathy Center at the University of California, said that
"increased body fat has been linked to both premature
cardiovascular disease and endothelial dysfunction."
This study nicely demonstrates that weight gain and increases in
abdominal fat are directly contributing to endothelial dysfunction,
he said. "Further, this endothelial dysfunction is entirely
reversible after the excess weight and abdominal fat is lost
through diet. This is yet another reason to maintain a healthy
weight and avoid excess belly fat," Fonarow said.

READ! It's a short chapter compaired to my others but still... read =P
** Recap: " Don't worry, in less than 24 hours you'll be my wife." I looked up at him wide eyed. ' I was out for a little more than a day… fuck! Well there still no sign of Gerard thank god. 'Gerard…' I sighed at the thought of him. He's coming and I can't do anything to stop him…
* End Recap*
For over two hours all I could do was close my eyes and listen to Anthony's sick sadistic thoughts of what he's going to do to me once we're married. Then someone knocked on the door. He murmured some angry words under his breath before he opened it to find a large beast standing at the doorway.
" You better have a pretty good fuckin reason for standing here pounding your fists on my door," Anthony said to the creature. It uttered words I could not here to him which he mumbled something in return before closing the door as the abomination walked off. With an amused look on his face, he strode slowly over to me. I knew from the look on his face that something happened and he was going to enjoy telling me. Instead, he stood in front of me keeping the same expression.
" What the fuck's your problem or are you just retarded? Wait… I don't think I'll have to ask that last question. I already know you are," I spat at him. That sure as hell wiped the look off his face.
" You shouldn't be talking to me like that love. For you see, Umbrel just informed me that he caught three wanderers in the woods. Seems it was a haroquel leading two vampires to the castle."
" Gerard," I whispered as tears ran down my face. He picked up my chin to glance at my face.
" Now, if you don't cooperate like I asked you to earlier, with the flick of my wrist," he stated before moving to whisper in my ear, " I'll kill him."
A/N: Sorry it's short but I don't have much time to write and I've been having some writer's block heheh =P Now that school's starting (for me, tomorrow), I'm going to be even slower since my mother has a computer password and is not letting me on the internet from home so when I can I'll be at the library… sucks thumbs down* But eh, whatever! I hope you all enjoyed it and thanks! --Christiexox


text: A nice mansion in a bit off center location. Not too crowded and probably not very well advertised either. Next door to our hotel, so dropped in due to it's vicinity. Took about 10 mins to see the rather interesting rooms. Free entrance made it worthwhile to visit. Would not cover great distances to visit.

Central Wildcat fans are still reeling from the news their popular head football coach has been fired.
Central Washington University announced the release of head football coach Blaine Bennett from his contract. Long-time CWU assistant coach John Picha, a 1993 Central graduate, will replace Bennett and serve as interim head coach.
To the top Cats, Central Washington University's highest honor.
College coaches are the top-paid state employees in Washington, according to a list recently released by the state Office of Financial Management.
Marv Harshman, who spent 40 years coaching college basketball in the state of Washington and was enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1985, died Friday at 95.
Cleanthony Early and Ron Baker scored 16 points apiece and Wichita State hit a season-high 14 3-pointers, including seven straight late, to knock the top-ranked and No. 1 seeded Bulldogs out of the NCAA tournament 76-70 on Saturday.
Still don't think Gonzaga deserved that No. 1 seed? There might be a few more doubters now.
Gonzaga students are deciding whether then can skip a few days of school and fly or drive to Salt Lake City to cheer the Bulldogs in the NCAA basketball tournament.
Thanks to a second-half surge Saturday night in the semifinals of the West Coast conference tournament, Gonzaga will step on the floor Monday night in the championship game of the event as the nation's No. 1 team for a second straight week.
Brock Motum scored 31 points and Royce Woolridge added 25 as Washington State closed out the regular season by crushing USC 76-51 on Saturday.
Scott Suggs hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 4 minutes remaining and finished with 23 points, and Washington beat rival Washington State 72-68 on Sunday, handing the Cougars their ninth straight loss.
The raucous student section at No. 2 Gonzaga's arena had no doubt where the Zags should be ranked when The Associated Press' Top 25 comes out on Monday.

Photographic Chore Chart
Smile And Wave
Do you assign your children chores to do around the house? For the littlest ones in the house who can't read just yet, use a photographic chore chart to motivate and keep track of things.
Rachel of Smile and Wave came up with the idea of turning this vintage time card holder into a chore chart. She needed to make a visual chore chart so she took photos (using Instax wide film) of each chore in addition to writing it out. The system works and looks great. For details on how Rachel set this up and what happens when her kids complete all their chores, see her blog Smile and Wave.

This is a great idea. A friend of mine was a pre-k teacher and she said they used to do something similar so the children could learn the daily routine for the class.
Neat! And I'm just as interested in where that dollhouse is from!
I think it may be this dollhouse from Plan Toys. http://www.amazon.com/Plan-Toy-My-First-Dollhouse/dp/B0001VV534/ref=cm_lmf_tit_1_rsrsrs0

"That's not really an issue before the Justice Department," MacKay said Thursday after a funding announcement in Halifax.
"There hasn't been an action. There hasn't been preventative steps taken to prevent contact ... We can't stop a person from communicating through letters and emails unless there is something that is seen as harassing or criminal in its intent."
MacKay said that whenever he hears Bernardo's name, his thoughts turn to the victims "who will not be able to have relationships, who will not be able to enjoy many of the things that (Bernardo) will enjoy in his life.
"My thoughts are first and foremost about the victims that he left behind."
The QMI news agency is reporting that an unnamed 30-year-old woman from London, Ont., has admitted to writing letters to Bernardo since last fall.
The news agency says the woman's parents are insisting she has changed her mind about marrying Bernardo, and the agency quotes the woman as saying she is "rethinking" her plan.
In the early 1990s, Bernardo and his then-wife Karla Homolka were convicted of crimes related to the rape and murder of two teenaged schoolgirls, Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy.
Bernardo was declared a dangerous offender and sentenced to life in prison. Homolka served 12 years for manslaughter, having struck a deal with prosecutors in 1993.

JordanCYeah you pretty much hit the nail on the head lol. The one thing that has me come back here every once in a while is the competitions. I think they help to spark a creative idea in me. That is about as far as this site goes though, for me anyways. But more than just getting views on my stuff, I want critic because I know there is a lot of room for improvement in my writing (Especially when dealing with tenses). So in that respect, I will take you up on absolutewriter.com. I will check that out. Thanks for that :) I have tried wattpadd but idk I just didn't like it all that much haha. As for the others I will check them out. Well thanks for the response. It is very much appreciated even though that's hard to tell through words on a screen. :P

N. SLol, glad I could help! :). Yeah, the competitions are pretty good on here. And well, there are quite a few people on here that would gladly critique you work to shreds :p. Try the forums. My advice would be that you shouldn't quit this site altogether, leave your stories up whilst you post on other sites too :). Absolutewrite is a good site, but I forgot my password to my account - need to change it haha. I signed up because of the extensive amount of info they have on literary agents etc. All of the helpful stuff like critique groups etc. are in the forums on there. Well, once again I'm glad I could help dude. Lol, it's quite hard to tell what others are feeling or what vibe they're giving off merely by the words they write but I guess that's the 'magic' of the internet XD. Gosh, I sound old :/.

Daniel JohnsonThere's a site called Figment that I use. Also, Spinebreakers.co.uk. Figment is more for already-published authors to put up full books and get publishing deals. I like movellas a lot better (despite the One Direction Infection). It's a lot more relaxed and trained for chapter-by-chapter updates. However, if you know of any, let me know.

Free Tools For Professional Writers ☆
Even professional writers need tools to help out with their writing and proofreading. There are apps and software that can be used and they are available for free. If you can't find an editing service that can match your requirements, then you would have to proofread on your own.
Although there is a lot of software out there for writing, it rarely gets used by writers. This is because some of them are too expensive or some might be too complicated to handle. Free software on the other hand, such as those that come with the MS Word, are greatly used by professional writers as well as students.
This article will tell you about some of the available writing and proofreading tools online. These help the writers have a better quality of work and you don't have to worry about the budget because these tools are free. May these tools help you to create better articles, stories, novels, thesis, dissertations, essays or any other form of literature.
• SpellCheckPlus
With this software, you would have to create your writing inside the provided textbox or you can copy the draft of your work into it. It will check your work for misspelled words as well as grammatical errors. The software is great in looking for missed commas. Although it has a free version, there is a limited number of texts that you can enter and whenever you use the free edition, you will see the pro-version advertisement pop up in your screen.
• After the Deadline is another tool that you can use. It helps check your spelling and grammar. The power of this tool is said to be the same as the spell and grammar checker in MS Word but it would be nice to use this and double check if MS Word had missed anything.
• Ginger is a tool that you have to download and install. Although it is a handy tool that can help enhance your writing, the risk of downloading a virus with it into your computer is present. You should always be careful about your downloads because there might already be a bug with whatever you just installed in your computer.
• Paper Rater is a tool that, in a way, rates your paper or written work. You have to paste your written work on the text box and identify what it is. There is a dropdown menu for you to search on and it also asks your level of education. It asks question so that it can learn more from who you are so that it can rate the paper properly according to your degree.
• Aside from the tools, you can also find a website or a source where common misused words are listed. This will help you to use the right words in context to your sentence. There are lots of sources online and it would be easier for you to use them if you just bookmark the page that is best.

"I would love to see Ethan again. I would love to see Dustin Milligan from the first season, who's a great friend still. That was the most shocking, the most abrupt ending. His character was so important to us that we all, as a cast, tried to convince the writers to figure out a way to bring him back. That would be my choice."

December 26, 2007
Terrell County -- A group of local bikers came together on Sunday for a charity motorcycle run to collect donations for the family of a Shellman woman who was killed two weeks ago at an Albany fast food restaurant.
The Heaven's Saints Motorcycle Ministries, along with several local motorcycle ministries in the area, collected toys and donations for the family and children of Roseanne Eubanks and her twin sister Rebecca Todd.
The bikers began their run in Albany and continued on to Terrell Christian Academy, where they delivered some Christmas cheer to a family who experienced tragedy so close to the holidays.
"When you bring something like this together, all you gotta do is get the word out to these guys and they just show up from all over the place," said Ray Segrest with the Heaven's Saints Motorcycle Ministries.
Prayer minister Robert Tripps said, "We've been reaching out to some families in need and when we heard about that this family here, it was an opportunity for us show up and show the love of Jesus Christ."
About a dozen bikers participated in Sunday's charity run.
Each year Heaven's Saints sponsors a family in need at Christmas time.

Architecture and decor Location Price Plenty of storage space
Lack of electric sockets Limited internet access Taciturn staff, thoughts gentleman on our last morning was friendly
Location is excellent.
A bit hard to find the hostel.
The location is amazing. Right in the old town. The building is nice with a bit of character. The room was clean with a small bathroom .
The Hotel was hard to find the first time. The breakfast wasn't great . I'm a veggie, so it was just bread and cheese for me!
The location
The location. In the labrynth of tiny streets, impossible to find and impossible to drive on. Parking is hell! Other than that.....Great!
Staff very helpful and kind. Great value for an air-conditioned room , well located.Had genuine atmosphere.
Found it difficult to locate as street name not recognised by many locals .
1. The friendly and helpful staff 2. The exellent location in the center of the city. 3. The envirement of small streets and lots of cheap and good restaurants. 4. the own autoparking of the hotel. 5 the charming - but old - decor of the hotel. 6. It was our third visit to the hotel and certainly not our last.
1. The hotel needs a little bit renovation but has to keep her charm, for tha's her sellingpoint.
The room was very comfortable, plenty of space, private bathroom, everything was clean, quiet at night, location was good and easy to walk to everything
Wireless was only in the common areas, not in rooms Staff didn't speak English and were not overly friendly or helpful (this didn't particularly bother me) The breakfast was basic, coffee a bit strange Decor a bit old fashioned (feels like a grandmother's house)
Location .. location .. location.. and the traditional feel of the premises!
some confusion with the bill and our booking -- which we hope got sorted!
We had a small basic room but suited our needs. There was plenty of room on the first floor outside of the bed room with comfortable seating. We also had a small balcony . Friendly staff and a great central location, minutes from the Cathedral. Plenty hot water in the bathroom and air-conditioning was welcome as it was turning hot
Not easy to find. Hidden in the winding warren of streets near the cathedral. Do ensure you have a map before you arrive. No fridge.
Location, plentiful breakfast, friendly staff, parking across the street, beautiful house (but the rooms...)
Rooms with very spartan interior, top cover sheet of one bed stained/not properly washed.
Great location and very affordable. Loved Granny, she was a treasure.
Decor dated and tired, lobby area smelled musty and of the dogs.
Good location, friendly and helpful staff, breakfast fine and excellent value.
Very attentive and friendly staff.Excellent location and very good value. Breakfast served until 11am.
Location. A bit hard to find but worth it. Staff was very sweet and helpful.
Wonderful place and location, friendly staff, best value for the money.
The location was great but utterly impossible to find.
The room was stark and for the jacked up price during the festival totally not worth the price.
Very good location, excellent neighbourhood, beautiful patio in the centre of the building, very kind and helpful staff.
I stayed on the ground floor, the room did not have any natural light (just a window looking at the nice covered patio of the building), for the convenient price this was something acceptable, the only problem was that there is basically no sound isolation between the room and the patio. Whatever was happening there I could hear it. Not an issue for a low-budget, few-day visit, but don't forget your earplugs:)
great location inside city center, but that made it also hard to find the hostal by car... Friendly staff, even parking on side was possible, with a small car it is more comfortable to drive up to the hostal
nice old-style interior!
small room without window
Great location, wonderful building, needing few repairs already.
This is my third stay here. Inside room, on the entrance patio, noisy, no windows, poor beds, bathroom ok; room itself was used for different purposes and last minute adapted for bedroom with the minimum, however price was the same; when we checked-in cost already charged in credit-card, that's not the usual policy.
Location and sitting area and wi fi and value
Hard to find had to get a taxi grom bus station
Very good position close to cathedral and other attractions but in a quiet area
Nothing really
Location was great once you found the place.
Difficult to find. No parking was available. Challenging to navigate narrow streets. Beds very poor. Did not get what we paid for ie double bed with air con room. No air con and 2 uncomfortable single beds.
The 1st and 2nd floors of this hotel might be OK but the 3rd is a nightmare. More than 60 stairs to climb (no elevator) to small, cheaply converted rooms and absurdly cramped bathrooms. No plug in the sink, no mirror, insufficient towels, no TV, no wi-fi, dirty and grossly overpriced. This is one to avoid.
Located reasonably centrally
No windows. Too expensive for what it was, even taking into allowance it was holy week

Six Packers lead NFC Pro Bowl fan voting at their positionsPosted by on December 20, 2012 – 10:29 am
Led by QB Aaron Rodgers, who earned the fifth-most votes overall in the recently concluded fan voting for the Pro Bowl, six Packers pulled in the most votes at their respective positions.
The other position leaders in the NFC are FB John Kuhn, C Jeff Saturday, KR Randall Cobb, OLB Clay Matthews and SS Charles Woodson.
Voting by the players and coaches has not yet been tabulated. Fan voting counts one-third in the selection process for the Pro Bowl rosters, which will be announced next Wednesday.
As the top NFC QB, Rodgers finished fifth overall in the fan voting with 777,827 votes. Leading the way was Broncos QB Peyton Manning (993,045), followed by Patriots QB Tom Brady (980,099), Texans RB Arian Foster (829,591) and Vikings RB Adrian Peterson (828,255).

Fans shouldn't be allowed to vote at all. For the most part, they are not influenced by what they see on the field, and more by what they read.
Most can't be objective enough to give kudos to a rival team's players, either.

wood is one of my favorite players in the league, but c'mon man he hasn't played but 3 games this year lol

Tarlam and david, you guys are spot on.
By Colin on Dec 20, 2012 | Reply
The reason fans get a vote is so there will be interest in a game that doesn't have any interest after the voting is concluded.

Hey we got 6 great players accounted for. But our leader Mr. Woodson has only played a limited role. Raji has played large role. Cobb, and even ol' Hawk have played upper class..Pickett has played with all he has. I really like Woodson, but dont think he should be there just on reputation alone.
By WI TO OH on Dec 20, 2012 | Reply
I respect our rival (Bears) enough to vote for Tillman. And I agree about Wood, he hasn't played enough so all those votes are just because he's our guy. Like the team, I love him to death but haven't seen enough to garner a vote.

What a difference Clay Matthews makes. Thank God he's back. In my opinion, could easily have been defensive player of the year if he played every game. Please stay healthy for the playoffs Clay!
By KB on Dec 20, 2012 | Reply
I only voted for the players I felt deserved to go from the Packers. Rodgers, Sitton, Cobb, Matthews,Burnett, Ginger wolverine, and I would of voted for Hayward if I could of.
No other player really deserves to go. I mean I wouldn't think it would be insane if players like Williams, and maybe Raji went but if Kuhn wins again I will just be annoyed. Any1 that has seen him run block this year knows he shouldn't go. He isn't much of a threat out of the backfield and his only real strength is pass blocking.
Raji I would of said know way if you asked me the first half of the year but recently has been much better. He made it last year which was insane. He had a really down year and started this year the same way.

Yea Charles Woodson is a problem for all offenses, when he's playing. But C'mon Man. I voted for Rodgers, Cobb, Jones, and Mathstay about 8 times, because those 4 deserve to be in the Pro bowl

Remember… like baseball this is an all STAR game…not an all best player game… it seems to me that this game traditionally has been played only for the fans, and I suppose an excuse to spend a week in Hawaii…

How about Mason Crosby? Just kidding. Hope he gets over his slump soon. Masthay is having one heck of a year though, he should be considered.
