As people everywhere are working away on writing a 50,000 word novel this month, we would like to draw your attention to all of the wonderful writing websites available in Web Resources. Aspiring writers will find several websites geared just for them.

I have discovered another interesting web resource: the Merriam - Webster Unabridged Dictionary.
You can use it as a dictionary, of course, but it also has many other interesting features. There is a style guide that shows how to use punctuation marks, a medical dictionary, Spanish/English and French/English dictionaries, a thesaurus, an encyclopedia, and an atlas.
I am the first to admit, I am thinking about entering a twelve-step program for my Pinterest addiction. In case you don't know, Pinterest is an online pinboard where anyone can find out how to do anything. While I may not be the most prolific crafter at the Riverside Branch, I sure do like to read about crafting. Same goes for cooking.
There are few things better than discussing great books with like-minded friends, but once in a while, half-way through a conversation, I realize that one of my good friends actually hates a book that I like. It's always quite shocking, since I only read the best books. But apparently, we all have different definitions of good. For example, I like to read books with interesting characters that change and develop over time. Apparently, other people read thought-provoking books or books with a fast-paced plot, or even books with a unique setting.
Do you often find yourself wishing there was more literature in your day-to-day social networking? Do you want to interact with other bibliophiles or participate in fun and interesting quizzes about your favorite themes and characters? Maybe, you just want to convert your mosaic of post-it notes of books-to-read into an attractive digital format? If any of these apply, then you definitely need Goodreads!
When we think of looking for a new job, often times what comes to mind first is heading to the nearest convenience store to grab a newspaper for the classifieds. Did you know, however, that the library has a huge selection of online databases and websites designed specifically to help you look for your new job, all of which are free to you as an MCPL cardholder? And here's the best part: You don't even have to leave your house to use them!
So, usually when I get on the Library's website, I head straight for the catalog. Occasionally, though, I do visit the Online Resources page. The Online Resources page gives me access to downloadable eBooks and Research Databases, but I don't really venture any further than that. That is until I discovered Web Resources.
Reading levels vary from student to student, as well as school district to school district. So, how can you find the correct books to engage a young reader but make sure it is not too difficult for them? This is a common issue that I come across both as a parent and while working for the Library. Parents are excited to hear their child is reading above grade level, but somewhat clueless about finding the correct books.
I'll be the first to admit that drawing isn't my forte. Generally speaking, when I draw, it tends to be stick people who need some serious help. However, when I saw Draw Something, a free app for iPhone and Android, I knew it would be fun. All of my non-drawing friends were instantly hooked, and I've never laughed so hard in my life.
Who do you come from? Not where, but who?
I've always believed that if you don't know the past, you are doomed to repeat it. And, you should especially know your own roots. As such, I have been researching my ancestry for years, and I am still amazed at the things I find.

Jeff says that he will go and tally. When he returns, he asks if anyone wants to play the idol. There is very minor suspense before it becomes clear that nobody has it, and nobody is playing it. First vote goes to Lisi. Then Lisi again. Then Rocky. Then Rocky again. And...Rocky! And...Rocky! Ha ha ha! He's gone. And Jeff says that he's "the first member of [their] jury," so we've got that big jury again, and you can kind of tell it's going to be full of ungracious pricks, because that's practically all that's left. Rocky is snuffed, and he walks off, saying goodbye only to the "boys." And why not? Girls are dumb! Don't talk to girls! Jeff tells the group that being blindsided can happen to anyone, so he hopes they're all happy. Nyah!
In his final words, Rocky yells, and he says that he's "extremely pissed off." He says that he's on the jury now, and hopes none of them gets the money. That's right; he's going to refuse to vote at all. That'll show them. I'm glad to know he's taking it like a big man. A big man named Rosey Grier in Free To Be You And Me.
Next week: Lisi is stressed out. Boo tries to dance. Digging for the idol goes on without the person who found the clues. Did I mention Boo dancing?

Tasty roll-ups to go with soup
January is National Soup Month, a time of the year when Americans consume more than 57 million gallons of soup. While the word "soup" stirs visions of a steamy, liquid concoction, I was recently reading a report where one company said that more than 440 million cans of its soup are used each year to make different recipes — an average of more than one million cans a day!

Nestled on a corner lot with a sweeping view of the ocean, village, and surrounding mountains, Casa de Los Amigos offers guests an ideal location to experience the ambiance of Sayulita.

This villa is truly in a great spot to help our guests enjoy their Sayulita vacation to its fullest.
The gentle evening breezes, coupled with the amazing sunsets over the ocean make enjoying the cocktail hour from the upper terrace a truly memorable experience. This patio with its traditional Mexican arches is also a great area for sharing time with family and friends and playing some of the many games available in the casa. The upper level also houses the kitchen/living area, the den with a double futon, television and DVD player, and a bathroom.
The beautiful pool with its unique water feature has a shallow area at one end, perfect for the young guests. Chito, our caretaker, maintains and checks the pool daily.

As ex-mayor of Sayulita, Chito's knowledge of the town is a great source of information for first time guests. Maid service is provided three times weekly.
Two bedrooms, each with a queen bed, private bath, and separate entrance are located on the lower level. The air-conditioned bedrooms open on to the lower patio, adjacent to the pool, very convenient for a late evening swim. One of the bedrooms also has a bunk bed.

Busty Kelly Kay is a short, petite blonde who enjoys posing, fondling her huge fun bags and having long masturbation sessions, despite her claims of being a shy gal. Best of all, you will be able to surf through her well-designed site with ease, download great videos and still have time to clean yourself up afterward.
As a member of BustyKellyKay, you have access to 31 videos that you can download as multiple clips and as full-length scenes. They're available as Windows Media files and MP4s. While you can also stream the flicks in an embedded Flash player if you want, I recommend that you take the time to save them to your computer because they're all pretty hot and offer great-quality playback.
In addition to sizzling movies, you also get to view the site's 35 photo galleries. These are filled with great-looking, high-res images that show the lovely Kelly doing things like posing, stripping and fondling her incredible breasts. You can view the picture sets as slideshows and also download them in handy Zip files.
Seeing as how this is mainly a softcore site, you will find the irresistible Kelly playing with her bouncing boobs, stripping down to her birthday suit, titty fucking a vibrator, sucking a dildo and getting dirty while she takes herself to orgasm. Be careful because you might become fixated on her huge tits. I know I did.
However, there is one annoying thing about some of these movies and it's the fact that these flicks are occasionally accompanied by really cheesy music. It sounds like those Casio keyboards that you used to hear in music back in the '80s. It's pretty distracting while you are trying to get off. If you find that the tunes bother you too much, you can turn down the sound and just enjoy the sights.
Unlike her tits, this site's collection is a little slim when it comes to the updating, they are just rotating the content despite indications on the homepage that there is new material coming. There are bonus sites though, in the form of big boob babes like Busty Ines Cudna and Nicole Peters.
Busty Kelly Kay is very appealing, but her small site doesn't have enough action to get my recommendation.

Tiny labia are no more "normal" than what this labiaplasty surgeons call "hypertrophy". Given what we're fed, it can be difficult to love our genitals. At 24, I finally came to except my own, after contemplating surgery. I couldn't part with them, and I learned some things, too.
Learning to Love my Long Labia
I do not have a long labia, but I have a labia, and it isn't naturally tucked in. I have always loved my labia until recently. A guy I was seeing told me it was gross. A man has never insulted my labia before, but this really shook me. I was always told I had a beautiful vagina. I realize I can't jump to cutting my labia because of what one guy said, but it REALLY disgusted me.
I can't tell you how many gross penises I've seen in my life. Never would I ever say a thing to them, nor would I judge them on it.
It kills me so many women get labia plasties because of fear of what men think of it. It also kills me that we as a society allow such a brutality.
Labias are all different, it has nothing to do with how much sex you've had either! It's all genetic, and depending how much estrogen is in your mothers body when you are born, decides upon the size of your labia. Having a large labia honestly makes you more woman than someone without a large labia. Not saying having a large labia is better, just saying it isn't worse.
I'm lucky my labia is small enough to tuck in, but for those girls who are ashamed of their labia DONT BE. YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL, and the right guy/girl will love you for whatever the fuck your labia looks like.
Ladies and Gentleman, Skylee, my pup.

Best Vegetarian Entrees below 34th St.
- v
- veggieyummy Nov 20, 2010 11:04 AM
I am looking for the best vegetarian entrees in Manhattan - anywhere south of 34th St.
Here are the constraints:
1. The dishes CAN include dairy and eggs but not seafood, etc.
2. The dishes CAN be small plates, but not appetizers.
3. The dishes CANNOT include fake meat.
4. Ideally, dishes are more imaginative than roasted vegetables or just spaghetti and sauce.
Can't wait to try them!
re: BLover33
gobo has gone markedly down hill over the past few years, relying heavily on sweet, cloying sauces over gluten much in the way the prix fixe zen palate did.
you might want to check out hangawi on 32nd street; it's vegan upscale korean. i personally find it bland, but i'm also not vegetarian by any means. i have been there 2x, and the first time enjoyed it, the second time, not so much.
lan cafe is cheap and and does vegan vietnamese; you can avoid the fake meat here but be warned, they do serve things like that.
re: selenster
oh, this is in brooklyn (williamsburg to be exact) but one of the best entrees i've ever had is the beetroot gnocchi (Violette Di Parma red beet and goat cheese gnocchi with cheese sauce and wild arugula). it's not light but you won't want to share with anyone because it's that good.
baci & abbracci
204 Grand St, New York, NY 11211
re: selenster
I second hangawi. Having brought several vegetarians there, its been given nothing but rave reviews by them. I'm no vegetarian but I look forward to going there.
You gotta love vegetables though, they aren't too fond of tofu or meat substitute.
re: BLover33
Second Dirt Candy - they're as imaginative vegetarian dishes as you'll find. Amanda Cohen is becoming the Wylie Dufresne of vegetables.
Pure F&W... meh. Don't care for it. But they're vegan/raw, not vegetarian, so they can only be good "for" vegan/raw food, which inherently is kind of uninteresting and bland...
Lots of vegetarian options at higher-end Italian and Indian restos... check out Devi for the latter, and any Batali place on a Monday night for the former, as he's participating in the whole "Meatless Mondays" thing. Also, Scarpetta added a full vegetarian menu - all week, not just Mondays.
And second (or third or fourth) Hangawi. Fantastic little place.

re: sgordon
" But they're vegan/raw, not vegetarian, so they can only be good "for" vegan/raw food, which inherently is kind of uninteresting and bland"
That is completely untrue. I don't eat raw, but I am a vegan and have had amazingly delicious, creative raw food across the country. If you were suggesting that vegan food also is "inherently uninteresting and bland", well then, I don't even know what to do with you, because I have ten years' experience eating and and cooking fine, creative food as a vegan to prove you wrong.
re: AmethystMarzipan
Perhaps I should have said "uninteresting and bland to those of us who are used to a wider, unrestricted palette of flavors."
Everything in context, after all.
re: sgordon
I am a voracious and enthusiastic omnivore - I love food of all kinds, whether it's meat, vegan, vegetarian, raw, and anything else, so long as it it's well-prepared and tastes great. As such, I speak as someone "used to a wider, unrestricted palette of flavors" and I couldn't disagree with smorgan more. Many of the dishes at PFW taste incredible. I'd go there a lot more if it wasn't so darned expensive. Maybe you should give it another try without thinking of it as offering "restricted" flavors.
BTW, my favorite vegetarian dish in the city the Spaghetti Limone at Supper. Mmm.
re: pork_buns
I completely agree. I am neither vegetarian nor vegan but cannot understand how anyone could visit PF&W and then describe the food as bland and uninteresting. The tricks the kitchen pulls are pretty remarkable. You may prefer a steak or a burger, but that's a different matter.
To the OP - with no dairy restrictions you should look beyond the vegetarian restaurants suggested here. Any vegetarian can eat very well at Otto and Lupa (not to mention Eataly).
re: sgordon
I completely agree with the other responders that this is not true. My boyfriend and I are both vegetarian (not vegan or raw), and we ate at Dirt Candy for a dinner date and Pure Food and Wine for a Valentine's Day date.
Pure Food & Wine was OUT OF THIS WORLD more delicious and imaginative than Dirt Candy (though Dirt Candy wasn't bad, just mildly disappointing after the accolades I'd heard thrown about). I would never have guessed that Pure F&W was raw if I didn't know it from the start. I can't even tell you exactly what it is that my dish consisted of, but every bite of every dish was heavenly.

Dirt Candy

I am a fan of Buddha Bodai, although I only order in and have never eaten at the restaurant. They do use fake meat - and fake seafood - but if you call it wheat gluten or tofu (which is what it is), it sounds less fake-y. I also like Hangawi, for more upscale vegetarian dining.
re: Stuartmc910
it surely is a peaceful meal! the space is soothing as well. (getting the check...well that's hair raising! :)
re: Stuartmc910
I actually prefer Franchia to Hangawi!
12 Park Ave, New York, NY 10016
re: madjoy
I like Chennai Garden, too. And I like their Gujarati dishes, possibly as well as their South Indian ones.
Are you looking for only "finer" sorts of places? First off, I third, or whatever they're up to, Dirt Candy. Just awesome.
I would never recommend Counter in the EV--it is way overpriced for the quality and portion size, and the food is not that good. I often find the staff annoying.
John's of 12th is a regular Italian place that just put out a new entirely vegan menu, and everything I've had so far from it is pretty darn good. I would recommend checking that out; it is a lot of fun to be able to eat the same sorts of Italian dishes as your friends.
Of course, Angelica Kitchen is a vegetarian staple in the city and the food is always so remarkably fresh and usually quite interesting and inventive. It has a relaxed, clean bohemian sort of atmosphere. However, it IS cash only, which is lame because it's a bit pricey, and there's no ac or ice cubes in the summer, which can suck. Menu rotates often, so I can't really suggest anything in particular. Go in and order whatever appeals most to you--you'll like it.
My favorite place for cheaper eats is The Organic Grill, which is mostly vegetarian and has a wide variety of vegan options. It's kind of a hole-in-the wall in the East Village, but it seems pretty clean and the food does what so few things ever successfully do: fills you up, tastes delicious, AND is quite healthy. I highly recommend it--just avoid the waffles and wine smoothies. Everything else is very, very good. They even have mastered the raw dessert--I would have seriously never thought it was possible to be tasty, raw, and dessert before I tried stuff here. Oh, it is possible. Specifically, I really enjoy the vegan omelette with mushrooms, cheese, kale, and onions. It's served with Yukon Gold home fries. The signature salad is also really hearty and delicious and different.
But the best vegetarian entree in NYC imo is in Brooklyn, and you should definitely make the trip--to the biweekly Gracious Gourmand dinner. A guest chef creates a gourmet-prix fixe vegetarian meal and it is always divine. Check it out. http://www.thediscerningbrute.com/gra...

(In decreasing order of perceived special-ness)
1. Japanese shojin restaurants - Kajitsu is lovely.
2. Gramercy Tavern will do a vegetarian tasting menu if requested in advance.
3. Dirt Candy (I agree that Pure Food and Wine and Counter are overpriced, I haven't tried Cafe Blossom in Chelsea)
4. Veggie-friendly loca-vore places like Northern Spy and The Green Table (very solid risotto and vegetable pot pie respectively)
5. Asian / Asian inspired: Gobo, Soy and Sake, Pukk, Souen (multiple locations), Hangawi, Wild Ginger, Buddha Bodai
6. Indian / Indian subcontinent: Vatan, Lots of places on Lex for regional Indian food, Sigiri (Sri Lankan) and the tibetan place on 1st Ave are super casual and affordable.
7. Angelika Kitchen, Quantum Leap (multiple locations), Atlas Cafe and Sacred Chow have very respectable sandwiches.
8. Otto and Paprika have some excellent vegetarian options (best gnocchi ever at Paprika!)

Hi! I'm new here, but I just had to reply to this post. I'm not a vegetarian, but I try to eat vegetarian about 80 percent of the time so....
I'm assuming you're OK with eating at non-vegetarian restaurants? Basically, there are too many to list here. Most restaurants have at least one vegetarian option. And the ones that are good otherwise, tend to make good vegetarian food. I'm making it one of my goals to try as many vegetarian options in the city as humanly possible. And I also prefer to avoid fake meat.
1. Momofuku noodle bar has great ginger scallion noodles (which I consider an entree) and steamed shitake buns.
2.Japanese Yam Sandwich at Num Pang.
3. Masala Macaroni and cheese at 'smac.
4. falafel at Taim. They also make a great sabra sandwich.
5. I also really liked the sweet and sour eggplant entree at Double Crown
6. Il Buco changes their menu on a regular basis, but they always have at least one vegetarian pasta option. And it's usually really good.
7. The crepe place in chelsea market (don't remember their name) has a really good truffled hummus option. If you like truffle oil.
Does Tofu count as fake meat? Because if not, the "sushi" sandwich at 'snice is amazing. It's tofu with seaweed and mayonnaise. And Baohaus has this amazing uncle jesse fried tofu bao that's absolutely incredible. It's tiny though.
As far as vegetarian restaurants, I second the recommendations for dirt candy. I think it's the best in the city. Kajitsu's also amazing, but extremely expensive. Abraco also has great vegetable options at lunch time. (They don't do dinner.) I also really like Pure food and Wine although, not being a raw foodist, it's expensive for what you get.
And don't forget all the pizza!

re: vegivore
What's a sabra sandwich? A Google search was unhelpful. Do you mean the sabich (fried eggplant sandwich)?
re: vegivore
A good list, but I thought the tofu bao at Baohaus was eh. The tofu was like a parody of tofu - almost tasteless. And it's microscopic, you're right about that.
re: small h
I'm not crazy about tofu in general. (Even though I keep on trying it because when I like it, I really like it.) Maybe that's why I liked this one?
re: vegivore
I love tofu in most of its forms, but the Uncle Jesse was a major underachiever in the taste department (although I did like the bao and the sauce). My disgruntlement was compounded by the fact that it was about 800 degrees inside Baohaus - not really the fault of the establishment as it was a hot day. But it's hard to enjoy your food when you can barely breathe from the heat.
re: small h
Well, they could have had air conditioning....But did you try the bao fries? Pure indulgence. But they were really good, IMHO.
So, do you have any restaurant recommendations for tofu? I'm open to pretty much anywhere that I can take a subway too...
re: vegivore
One of my favorites is BCD, which is at 17 West 32nd, a location mysteriously absent from their website, but trust me - it's there. Or at least it was three weeks ago when I walked by.
re: small h
god, my love for BCD tofu house's soondooboo chigae (spicy tofu stew - usually made w/ seafood BUT can be vegetarian) runs deep. i really really need to go there for dinner STAT. and wear elastic waisted pants.
re: selenster
That's one of my favorite dishes in the whole wide world. Get it for lunch. You'll have more of the day to walk it off.
Tons of great risotto options at Risotteria.
270 Bleecker St, New York, NY 10014
Lupa has a wonderful cacio e pepe that's SO much more than "just spaghetti and sauce", and from the website it appears there are a couple other vegetarian pasta options. Lupa's pastas are absolutely worth a visit and the "verdura" are great too. Not an easy reservation to make but the restaurant reserves tables for walk-in dining, and the bar is smallish but lively.
170 Thompson Street, New York, NY 10012
snack dragon quack and cheese is good, low brow but good.
anything at Tiffen walla, or probably any of those veg indian places in that area.
Pakoras and samosas are prob my fav veg junk food, ckickpea saag etc are great also. Im a big fan of Tiffen walla, didnt know how much I would miss it, now that I dont live around there any more.

Edward Elric x Reader p2"Ma'am? Are you alright?" Blondie McShortpants or whoever it was was standing over you. You had to admit to yourself, this guy was pretty cute.
What happened?"
"It was another mood attack, (name)" your mother said sadly.
"Are you guys really the Elrics?" you asked suspiciously.
"Yup!" the blonde one replied.
"I'm guessing Mr. Armor here is Fullmetal."
"Actually no," the metal one said, "I'm Alphonse."
The blonde one obviously got frustrated. "I'm Fullmetal, also known as Edward Elric." He extended his gloved hand to you as you started to get up. You took his offer, almost pulling him down.
"(Name)," your mother tried to tell you something.
"Yes, mother?"
"I think you should ask these young men to take you, and teach you alchemy."
"That would probably be too much for them!" you replied. You giggled a bit. Ed was staring
right at you. He was really starting to rub off on you.
"That wouldn't be a problem. We could just take you back to central and all." Ed suggested.
"I agree. You might
Edward Elric x Reader pt 3You soon reached central a few days later. Wow, this place is huge you wonder. "Here," Ed said, motioning towards the large building in the middle of a courtyard. "This is where us military dogs stay. You'll probably meet some new people, like Havoc, Armstrong, Colonel Mustang--" your ears perked when you heard that name. Mustang You ran in before Ed could finish. You slammed open the doors to find a hugely muscled-man.
"Um, excuse me, do you know where I could find-" you were interrupted by the man.
"HUGE MUSCLES LIKE THESE?" he shouted as he flexed some more.
"Well actually, I was looking for-"
"MUSCLES! Yes, muscles like mine!"
You slap him to get his attention. "Listen here, I'm not here for your stinking muscles, I'm here for Mustang. Now where is he?"
"Third floor, second door on your right," The muscled man replied, not saying anything else about his muscles.
"Thank you." You ran off to find Mustang.

Edward Elric x ReaderYou had just completed the shopping expedition your sick mother had sent you on. You came home on your "Alchemy Board": basically a piece of wood with a transmutation circle on it and some wheels. Your family wasn't that wealthy anyway, so your father taught you how to use alchemy.
Your backstory is a long and sad one. Your parents both knew alchemy, and they did scientific research together. Recently, your father passed away while in Laboratory 5, and your mother never got over it. She then used her alchemy to bring him back to life. His homunculus was still out there, but you could never find it. Your mom had been sick in bed for 8 months now, still without a lung transplant.
Ever since, you had trained with alchemy for all your life, even depriving yourself of sleep to work harder. But, your father wasn't the only influence. News travelled fast where you lived, a few miles west of Dublith, so you knew who the Elric Brothers were. You dreamed for them to teach you, and you despe
Shikamaru x Sneaky!Reader: The Mission
~Sorry in advance is he is a little OOC. Tell me if i need to fix anything!~
You had one mission and one mission alone. If this mission wasn't completed, you would hate yourself for a lifetime. It was your goal.
You jumped through the forest, so light on your toes no one could here you. You were listening in on conversations, and it turned out your old friend Shikamaru was coming back from a mission, and being a good friend of Team 10's, you decided to pull the greatest prank yet: wait until they're sleeping, draw on their faces with permanent paint, then pour maple syrup all over them, so that when they awoke, they would be sticky, painted, and pretty cranky. You were ready for the greatest laugh of your life.
~Tiiiiime skip~
You eventually found the camp, around twilight. Everyone was getting ready for sleep. First, you started coloring their faces. Everyone got a different mustache, different gang sign, and different song lyrics all over their arms and legs that we
Kazekage!Gaara x Reader: The Sky is the Limit
You were the mystery kid. Nobody knew about you, nobody truly cared. When you went to school, it was just another day to get harassed by everybody, and the people you sort of hung out with. Today, your friends were blabbing about how the Kazekage was the hottest being on Earth. You were the abnormal one, after all, not liking what everyone else liked. Sand followed you wherever you went, and your father never knew why.
Today was just the ordinary. Since your father was a trusted advisor and general of the Lord Kazekage, Sabaku no Gaara, you ate alone. Your father never came home until late hours.
~Time Skip: a few hours later~
"Oh, welcome back Father," you said as you bowed to greet him.
"Hello, (name), I have some good news," your father said with a bright smile on his face, "tomorrow, the council and the Lord Kazekage himself have let me bring you in to see what our meetings are like. But be careful; do not speak of this to anyone. You will be ca

For me it happens all the time
Your best friend Deidara had left three short years ago. He had been the one to care for you since both your parents died. He had left because he wanted to get more praise- to be the best. You begged him to not go, because, well, in fact, you had completely fallen in love with him. Deidara made a promise with you -a promise you and him didn't plan on breaking- that he would come back to your home and take care of you forever.

Stein x Reader: Experiment in Romance~
You never liked the holidays. You couldn't accept the fact that people were just happy to be together. In fact, the thought of happy people made you nauseous. You never had that experience, so you never liked it. You never tried anything you didn't like anyways.
The DWMA seemed icy cold during the middle of December. All of the smiles and cries of joy- it was sickening. You walked down the halls to your classes with your warm coffee in your hand, and your (f/c) sweat jacket held it close.
"HEY!" A young voice tried to call you. Not this kid.
He pushed you down, your coffee spilling on the carpeted floor.
"Where's my breakfast, dog?" the kid was now standing over you, his ego making a huge shadow.
"I didn't bring you any. Deal with it." This kid was starting to piss you off.
"Oh, yeah? Tsubaki! Ninja star!" Apparently, this kid wants to fight today. This is about to make a turn for the worse.

Surprise Surprise: Sasori x Reader
Dedicated to my dear friend Karina, since she always got Sasori when taking quizzes lol.
You were a Konoha ninja sent to deliver a message to the Sunagakure. You had been venturing out for about one and a half days and you were tired. It was about three in the afternoon and you were also hungry. You took out an apple and some bread and sat under a tree, enjoying a small lunch.
After a few minutes of eating, you see a tree across the way with what looked like a redhead teenager napping. You took your food and tiptoed across the branches to see who it was.
It didn't look like anyone you knew, though. He had a black coat and a red cloud on it.
You knew immediately it was Akatsuki. You contemplated whether or not to attack him.
"I just don't feel like it's right to attack him like this," one side of you thought.
"But If I do attack him, I'll get rewarded, but it will go against my way of life

Lelouch x Reader: New Girl
First day of school, first class done.
Your name was (F/N) (L/N). You had just moved to Ashford Academy after your parents were assassinated and you were living in a hotel a few blocks away. Your good friend was council president, so you planned to visit her after your first break.
You wandered around the halls, quite lost. After a few minutes, you came across an open door, and peeked in. You saw a boy, maybe a year older than you, with a cat in his lap, talking to a boy with blue hair.
"You gotta pick someone, Lelouch. Can't be single forever."
"No… I just don't want to."
You peeked in suspiciously, looking at the faces, until the black haired boy's face turned to you. You blushed and hid behind the wall, hoping he didn't see you.
Of course, your plan didn't work.
"Hey, do you need something?" the black haired boy said, creeping up on you.
You blushed and sighed. "Uh… uh
Edward X Reader - Change
Edward looked outside the train window, he began to make out the land marking that signaled Resembool was close. Excitement was tingling throughout his body, but with that was also worry. He wasn't sure if [name] would remember him, he hadn't talk to you since his mother died. Every time he had tried to talk to you after that, he'd always change his mind. Not this time. He assured himself. He wasn't sure how much you've changed but he'd still find [name]. Edward felt the train jolt to a stop. He was here. "Brother!" Alphonse pointed to two girls outside. Ed had recognized Winry, but she was with a girl with [h/c] hair. He had to admit, the other girl was beautiful. "Well, we can't keep Winry waiting, she'll kill us if we do." The brothers hurried off the train. "Hey!" Winry greeted them with beaming eyes. "Hey," Ed said "Why are you so happy?" Winry just laughed.
"Hello!" Ed looked over to see that Alphonse had already greeted the girl. "Hi Alphonse!" She greeted him like she's
Edward Elric x Reader - Chapter Four
You and Edward stared at the dark-skinned man slowly approaching. Alphonse took a small step back.
You heart felt like it was going to jump out of your chest. You were very frightened, but knew you had to be courageous to catch the mass murderer slowly approaching you and the Elric brothers.
Edward was shaking slightly in front of you. Scar stopped about five feet in front of Edward.
"So," Scar said, his tone of voice sending shivers down your spine. "You are going to try and catch me again?"
"Damn right!!!" Edward yelled angrily. He dashed at Scar, clapping his hands together. He stopped and bent down in front of Scar, touching his hands to the ground.
Large pillars of rock headed for Scar, but he dodged them all, landing on the ground after the attack.
You nodded to Al. You knew it was your time to fight.
You dashed past Scar who was currently in combat with Edward. You leapt onto the first stone pillar that Edward had transmuted.
"Hey Scar,&

The blonde in the corner looked up as you entered, surprise written across his face.
"Oh h-hey ____!" he yelped as he sat up and grinned sheepishly.
"Don't 'oh hey' me!" you yelled as you stood in front of him, arms folded.
Edward shifted his gaze away from you. He was uncomfortable at how close the two of you were, considering you could blow up at any second depending on what he was about to say.
"What's what's wrong?" he asked quietly, preparing himself for a series of complaints to fly out of your mouth.
You stared down at him in shock. He's seriously asking me this? you thought as you groaned and tried to keep an angry look upon your face.

Ed flinched, he knew what was coming to him. "I guess there is," Ed said sarcastically. You and Al stood there, between the two men who seemed to be having a glaring competition, by the way Mustang seems to be winning this one. Ed sighed in defeat, "I was late cause Winry just finished upgrading my auto-mail." Mustang nodded, taking the excuse, he knew it wasn't a lie since the day before the predicament Ed went into a battle in Hollow Valley (A/N: Made up town xD) with a very strong Alchemist by the name Killer Alchemist. The Killer Alchemist had the power of a fake philosopher stone. Which drove Ed nuts, he couldn't believe how many fakes there are. You smirked, "Hey, shorty, you were defeated by this so-called Killer Alchemist?" Ed twitched with a vain popping up on his forehead, "AT LEAST HE WENT TO JAIL AND IM NOT SHORT!"&

Oct . 3
You sat impatiently on the brown couch in Roy's office. Roy sat at his desk clicking the pen up and down, he was more impatient than you. You raised your eyebrow, looking at him. He kind of looked constipated with his eyebrow twitching; he looked likes he was going to explode with rage.
Soon enough he did... you flinched at the noise of Roy's hands slamming on the wooden desk, "Whats taking Full Metal so long?!" You looked at him with a plain expression and you shrugged as you rested your feet on the tea table in front of you. Full Metal; Edward Elric, was called by Roy about a predicament that happened not to long ago...
Not to long ago~~~****
Oct. 1
It was a board meeting with King Bradley and some other military men, including Roy and Ed. You were there too, standing on the left of Roy while Riza stood on the right. Like always, Ed was late. You always wondered what was in that boys mind. He always seemed so far away from you, like a transmitted wall was between both of you.

You noted the change absentmindedly, staring at the small frozen flakes dropping gently onto the ground around you, nestling in your hair.
He always said you looked beautiful next to the snowy background.

"Stephen. You may enter first with out me."

"Good. And it's not a whatever place, it's an abandoned town. Now give me your report, ________." Roy said, crossing his arms.
"Okay. So, it was dark and creepy as hell everywhere, and there were an awful lot of creepy sounds. So aside from being a prime rape zone, totally unoccupied. Then I went into an alley. Not so fine there." You said.
"And what makes it not so fine?" Roy persisted.
"Ah, just some dumbasses. Rebel alchemists misusing alchemy. I didn't think there would be people that pathetic there, but anything's possible. So they saw me and thought it would be fun to try and kill me. Bad idea. They were psychotic drunks so they missed. Naturally I smashed their faces in with my lovely fist." You said, smacking your fist into your hand for emphasis.
Edward Elric x Reader - Chapter Three
After you changed back into your usual outfit, you went across the hall to the Elric brothers' room.
You knocked on the door. There was a pause before there was a reply.
"Come in!" Al said. "It's open."
You opened the door to the Elric brothers' room. After shutting the door, you examined your surroundings.
The room looked just like yours. Alphonse sat on the floor cross-legged, looking at some papers. Edward was lying on the bed to the left, facing the wall. He seemed to be in his own little world.
You looked at him sympathetically before sitting on the floor across from Al, who was studying the papers. They appeared to be some kind of research notes.
"What are those?" you asked Al. "Are those alchemy notes?"
Al glanced up at you for a second and looked back at the papers. "No," he replied casually. "These are notes on Scar that the military took. More like reports. I'm seeing if they can help us

It was early August, and you were at Edward's 18th birthday party. You, his best friend. Of course, you weren't good with people, so you just hung out on the hammock looking up at the stars, enjoying the pretty view. Soon, Ed found you.
"(Name)!" He called, jumping beside you.
You were startled. "Ed, jeez, you scared me!" you said laughing, scooting over for him so he could lay with you.
"You need to be less alone." He said, smiling.
"Yeah, ha-ha, good lucky with that one." You said, putting your hands behind your head. You noticed he had a margarita, so you stole it and took a drink. "Hey, this isn't that bad."
Edward stuck his tongue out. "Too sour for me, thank you very much." He said, snatching it back from you. "You're still too young to have one."
You stuck your tongue out at him. "So are you!"
"Yeah, but I'm just better than you." He rep

Facebook Overhauls News Feed: Now You Can Deep-Dive Into Friends' Music
Are you one of those people who's really into getting musical suggestions from friends? Well, you're in luck. Facebook is overhauling its News Feed to make it easier to cut through all the updates about food and drooling babies and get to the meat of the matter: What your pals are listening to.
Thursday, Facebook announced its brand-new News Feed, which will differ from the current iteration in three ways:
1). Photos will be larger
2). The Feed will be the same across platforms — mobile and Web
3). You will now have access to multiple feeds (recent stories, photos, music, pages you follow, recent posts, etc).
Check out the photo up above and apply for early access here to get a better sense of what the new News Feed will look like. Pretty soon we'll all be able to filter out content that we really want to see from the rest and do a deep-dive into our friends' activities.
Via the old News Feed, we can check out friends' listening activity via the ticker on the right-hand side of the page (for individual songs, etc) and larger listening stories (when someone is listening to a whole album) via the main News Feed. We can also check out a friend's profile page for their full listening history. However, when the new Feed rolls out to all users in the coming weeks, we'll be able to sort through this info in one aggregated location.
What do you think of the new digs?

A hearing on a plea to jurisdiction that could dismiss the election contest filed by Rey Ortiz, candidate for 92nd District Court, and Marla Cuellar, candidate for County Court-at-Law No. 8, is scheduled for today.
Attorneys for Omar Maldonado, who won the race for County Court-at-Law No. 8, and Luis Singleterry, who came out on top in the 92nd District Court race, filed motions for a plea to jurisdiction asking that the case be dismissed.
"Not a single voter has been identified as casting an improper vote (or that such improper vote was in favor of Contestee)," Maldonado's motion states. "Nothing in the pleadings affirmatively indicate that anything improper occurred in this race."
However, a response submitted by attorneys for both Ortiz and Cuellar stated their theory is that there was widespread electoral fraud or machine malfunctions. The document alleges that thousands of votes could have been affected or manipulated.
"Admittedly, it is hard to imagine a scenario in which this story would not sound more akin to political fiction than to reality," the response states. "However, the novelty and uniquness of these claims in this contest does not render them non justiciable."
Mari Regalado, who lost to Sergio Muñoz in a challenge for State Representative District 36, also filed a contest, stating, "Contestant will prove by clear and convincing evidence that a sufficient number of illegal votes were counted to affect the outcome of the election; that either through malfunction or illegal manipulation, who voted for one candidate had their votes re-cast for other candidates."
Muñoz filed a general denial of the allegations as well as a counterclaim stating that the incident Regalado refers to was a different race on the ballot, and there is no other evidence to indicate the machines malfunctioned or had been manipulated.
"Contestant has brought a fictitious suit and allegation, only for the purposes of harassment, delay and for an improper purpose," Muñoz states in his countersuit requesting attorney's fees.
Three candidates in the race for Justice of the Peace, Pct. 2 Place 2 also filed election contests: Hortencia "Tency" Martinez, Elvia Rios and Paul Vazaldua.

In defense of yes. (or at least "oh alright, I suppose so.")
It's very much in vogue right now to espouse the benefits of "saying no" And, of course, I believe that you shouldn't do things that make you unhappy or work with people who don't add to or feed the work. But I also believe there is great value in sometimes doing the thing you don't want to do, doing someone a favor, even doing something out of obligation. Because sometimes that thing we think we're going to hate turns into the thing we actually love and every once in a while the person we wrote off, ends up being exactly the person we need. And even when that doesn't happen, even when the thing turns out to suck as much as we thought it would, sometimes it's just the right thing to do. The trick is to find the balance between self-actualization and selfishness, right?

So yummy! You can easily double the chard b/c it shrinks down so much, but the pesto is just amazing. I used sun dried tomatoes packed in oil (could not find dried), and just used a some of the packing oil in place of the olive oil and soaking water. Worked beautifully. We also made the full amount of pesto, but only half of the pasta and reserved the extra pesto for sandwiches, etc. Was awesome on a grilled cheese!

This was a delicious dish with a wonderful nutty, rich flavor! I'm adding this to my list of favorites I substituted pine nuts for the almonds but otherwise made as written. I loved the contrast of the chard in flavor, texture, and color.

I want to have deep, intelligent things to say on 9/11, because well, it's 9/11 and we're all supposed to right?
The thing is at the time of the attacks I was still a student at Pace University (roughly 4-5 blocks from the WTC site). I had just become a theater major after two years of doing something else. I felt like my "real life" was just about to begin.
Ever since the fall of 2001 I've been a lighting designer, maybe a novice one or a student one, but an LD none the less. My entire working life has been in a post-9/11 world. I became an adult post 9/11.
That singular day and the years that followed proved that as a nation we weren't invincible. We could be attacked not only by planes aimed at buildings, but by our own fear, ignorance and greed. It's hard for me as a 30 year old to pin down exactly what changed after 9/11 after all, in many ways it's all I've ever known.
I can tell you this though in the years since we've seen the best and worst of our country. We've watched ultimate sacrifice (our soldiers on the battlefield) and ultimate greed (Wall Street engineers). But I don't know if that's a change. I think America has always been a nation of extremes, maybe the difference is in a post 9/11 world extreme is the new normal.
It's the Fourth of July a day to celebrate America.
I know in this day and age of political partisanship we things have never been worse. Let's remember we've overcome a lot more than a fight over how to deliver healthcare.
We've come together before. We'll come together again.
I went ot school at Pace University. The campus in NYC is in lower manhattan right at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge. 2001 was my junior year of college and my first full year as a theater major. I was supposed to be on campus September 11th, but I wasn't - a production meeting for a play I was working on was cancelled the night before, so I was home.
When I woke up, I walked to computer in my room and at the time my AOL Instant messenger window scrolled the news. "plane crashes into world trade center…"
I put on the news and we all know the rest.
What I remember most though is the weeks and months after September 11th. I remember returning to Pace and trying to get moving on shows again. I remember the national guard and humvees. I remember the smell of scorched steel from a fire that didn't die for a long time. I remember looking in on the damage.
But that's not what I remember most.
What I remember most is New Yorkers being neighbors. I remember watching people shop and go to work and waving hello to national guards soldiers. I remember everyone being nervous and confused, but more than anything I remember watching the city pull together. Con Ed workers and construction agents working throughout the day and night to restore electrical service. I remember a sense of us pulling together. I remember watching vans of lunches packed by school children arrive on site.
Out of the worst day came the best in people. We were all scared somewhere deep down, but we were in it together. We lived together we worked together and we survived together.
I was a lucky one. I didn't lose any family or friends. I wasn't there that day. I witnessed the worst on TV with the rest of the nation, but I got to watch the best in person.

Camp Hill police said they have investigated an incident Thursday afternoon at the Eisenhower Elementary School and determined there was nothing suspicious about it.
The incident turned out to be a mistake, and there was no attempted child abduction, police said Friday.
Authorities said the case is now closed.
Police previously reported that a young woman had arrived at the school and stated she was picking up a student for a play date.
The child, who had already left the school, was not supposed to be picked up by anyone and did not have a play date scheduled, police said in the initial report.

by Team Hoyt
MECHANICSBURG, PA – In an unprecedented display of accuracy, Team Hoyt's Jesse Broadwater rocked the recent NFAA Outdoor National, shooting perfect scores of 560 in both the Field and Hunter Rounds - as well as a new record of 27/28 in the Animal Round - to clinch a first-place victory in the Pro Male Freestyle Division. Jesse is the only shooter to ever shoot a 560 in the Field Round. His victory was sweetened by the fact that it sealed NFAA 2009 Shooter of the Year honors for him!
Joining Jesse in the spotlight were fellow Hoyt shooters Reo Wilde and Dave Cousins, who placed second and third, respectively, in the Pro Male Freestyle Division. And in the Pro Female Freestyle Division, Team Hoyt's Jamie Van Natta and Erika Anschutz took first and second place, respectively. Team Hoyt's Dee Wilde took the top spot in the Senior Pro Male Freestyle Division.
Team Hoyt has won every single NFAA event in 2009. No other bow company in the world can claim such a feat. From Vegas to Louisville and Yankton to Redding and all stops in between, Team Hoyt has absolutely crushed the competition! Hoyt would like to congratulate its shooters on their outstanding performances throughout the 2009 NFAA season.

So they are going to make their entire market cap in sales in one week. How is that even possible? And how come the stock does not go up? They are going to be a take-over target with that massive cash pile sitting there to fund the acquisition.
I hear you Spec. It's quite frustrating owning TTWO stock at the moment.
The stock is up roughly 60% YTD…… I'd say that is a nice gain.
All the traders who buy the rumor, sell the news got out this week. My plan was to sell on the release date, but the company's future looks so bright I'm going to hold on.

Would you love to freely spend $2500 worth of merchandise at DWR? Your chances are really high right now for this to happen. All you have to do is enter AT's Smallest Coolest Contest! To be honest, we haven't received many submissions so far, therefore your odds of winning are huge. This entry was from last year, AT:LA reader, Shauna's "More dash than Cash." Unlike last year, we're not showing entries as they come in- but instead, will post the entries after the deadline, Friday, April 6th, 2007! This weekend would be a great time to take some snaps and send them in!
Normally, we would start getting lots of entries after we started posting a few, (after people saw what was going on) but this year, we're making a few changes, and we are asking you to submit your entry earlier. PLEASE SUBMIT EARLY! The deadline again is April 6th. Like the lotto, "You can't win if you don't play!" Click here for all the info you need to know to enter!
Here is a link to 2006 entries, and 2005's.

I plan on entering, but it does take some time to put the submission together. I'm sure my submission will come in early next week.
Awh, I'm currently getting my apartment together with the 8 week cure. I wish the contest was after that... I might have enough confidence to put something together then!
I guess I just have a head start on next year ;)

An interactive map at the Rich Blocks, Poor Blocks website offers a glimpse at median household incomes, by neighborhoods, in the Forest Hills-Regent Square area—or anywhere in the country.
Take, for instance, the Swissvale neighborhood between the South Braddock Avenue business district and Frick Park. The number shows a median household income of $80,781. Yet the neighborhood between McClure Street, the East Busway and Rankin has a median household income of $25,313.
In comparison, the statewide middle-class income range is $44,750 and $54,425. The information for the map is obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2007-2011 American Community Survey.
The neighborhood near the Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf in Edgewood has a median income of $53,750. But the adjacent Wilkinsburg neighborhood bordered by Walnut Street, Coal Street and the East Busway has a median income of $12,218.
The section of Forest Hills between the Wilkinsburg border and Filmore Road has a median income of $64,853, while the rest of the borough has a median income of $50,027.
To see what your neighborhood's median income is, click here for the "Rich Blocks, Poor Blocks" map.

"OK so now what?" is the headline of Yahoo! co-founder Jerry Yang's blog post this morning at Yodel Anecdotal, the official Yahoo! blog. Yahoo must face the future with Microsoft at its doorstep and Google as the dominant search engine.
Yang outlines the furious pace of Q1 when the search engine bought another company, launched new products, added partners, and opened new R&D labs:
* Acquired Maven Networks.
* Launched Yahoo! Buzz, OneSearch 2.0, mobile voice search, Flickr video, Shine.
* Previewed AMP and SearchMonkey.
* Addied Newspaper Consortium members.
* Opened new R&D labs in India and Israel.
All very impressive (along with a solid first quarter) but the blog post doesn't address the number one question on everyone's mind - and the most important one: What will Yahoo! do with search?
Yahoo has some innovative plans for improving search results but no plans for increasing market share.
OK, so now what for Google? Now that Microsoft is on the sidelines, does Google have any incentive to do an outsourcing deal with Yahoo?
The reality? No. Google share of searches continues to grow. Yahoo and Microsoft have been weakened further by the merger distractions.
Everything's not OK in Sunnyvale today.
Without a Google deal in hand, Jerry Yang faces a very black Monday.
The Original Search Marketing Event is Back!
SES Denver (Oct 16) offers an intense day of learning all the critical aspects of search engine optimization (SEO) and paid search advertising (PPC). The mission of SES remains the same as it did from the start - to help you master being found on search engines. Register today!

Why Do I Put Myself In These Situations?0 Reviews
A coffee date for friends.
"He's bad news," Olivia cut in, turning her gorgeous green eyes to look at me. She swung her strawberry blonde hair over her shoulder and sat down next to me, motioning for her friend to do the same. "We went to high school with him, we all used to be best friends, until college rolled around."
"What do you mean?" I more asked her friend, wanting to hear his voice again.
"When we got to college, Frank figured out that girls actually thought he was attractive. After awhile, he ditched us as friends and became friends with all the other assholes on campus who could get some whenever they wanted. Since then, he's had quite the reputation of bedding new girls around here, and his methods are questionable." He shrugged his shoulders. ''But if you dig him, then do whatever you want. Olive and I thought you should know. I'm Mikey by the way." He stuck out his hands and I shook it gingerly, as if touching him would hurt me.
"Izzy, and he's not really my type," I tried to say casually, flicking my eyes towards Mikey, who didn't seem to notice anything. He nodded and then began to rummage in his book bag. Olivia and I began talking, while Mikey took out a book and began to read. I kept my eyes on him as we talked, and he never once looked over in my direction. A part of me deflated. One of the more popular guys on campus insinuated that he wanted to hook up with me, while one of his ex best friends wouldn't even look at me.
I went home that afternoon with plans to meet Olivia and Mikey for coffee the next day before our classes started. We all had different classes, but they started at the same time.
I arrived to an empty house, yet again. I spent the evening cleaning up the apartment, which was still not completely furnished. There were strips of wallpaper on the walls, different patterns and such. I picked out an outfit for the next day, wanting to actually put an effort into what I looked like, and I liked what I had put together. My dad had given me money to buy myself new clothes, considering I had next to nothing because our hasty departure. And I did anything to keep my mind busied so I wouldn't think about the reason we were on the run.
The next morning, I awoke earlier then usual to take a shower, blow dry my hair, and then curl it slightly, so it looked more like waves. I put on my make up, which never consisted of more then mascara, blush, and lipstick, brushed my teeth, and set out for the coffee date.
The coffee shop was located just across the campus, and was already full of students getting their early fill of coffee before the day begun. I looked around for Olivia and Mikey, and spotted Mikey at a table near the back, alone. I approached slowly, my pulse beginning to quicken.
"Hi," I chirped. He looked up from his book and smiled.
"Hey." He set down his book. "Olivia's not here," he said before I could open my mouth. "She called, she's not feeling too well."
"Oh. Well, you didn't have to come then."
He laughed and sat back in his chair. He was wearing a pair of jeans and an anthrax t-shirt, and I made a mental note to buy one of their records. I had heard of them before, but I never heard any of their music. I never actually listened to music that much. Of course I listened to it on the radio from time to time, but I wasn't up to date with any current bands or anything.
"If I didn't come you would have been left here all alone. Besides, I wanted to come. If we're going to be friends, I might as well get to know you." He laughed again, but it was a pleasant, light-hearted laugh. "First, just let me get my drink. What can I get you?"
"Oh, no, I can get my own." I stood up with him, but he quickly replied.
"Please, I insist. Besides, who is going to save our seats?" He wiggled his eyebrows behind his glasses, and when I didn't answer, he asked me again what I wanted.
"Americano, please." I sat back down, and picked up his book. I looked at the title, and smiled to myself. It was the same book that I was reading. I flipped to the page that he had marked off. He was about three chapters behind me, so I found the page where I was at and read while I waited for him to come back. He took a while, because of the long line up infront of him, so by the time that he returned to the table, I had forgotten that he was there because I was so engrossed in the book.
"Enjoying my book?" he teased, as he set down my drink infront of me.
"Sorry," I said, feeling embarrassed. I shut the book and slid it towards him. "I'm reading the same book, I'm just a little ahead of you."
"You like Irving?" He sounded surprised as he began to sip his drink.
"Oh yeah, I love him. Why?"
"It's just, I've never met anyone our age who likes to read him. Actually, none of my friends like to read in general."
"I love to read. Sometimes I feel like reading is the only thing that keeps me company these days."
"Tell me about it. I spend all my free time reading, and I work at a book store so that works out for me."
"Seriously? That's a sweet gig. I've been looking for a job everywhere but I can't get one."
Mikey eyed me for a second, put down his cup, and smiled broadly. "Today's your lucky day!" he exclaimed, throwing his arms out and spreading them widely. "You are looking at the man in charge of hiring at Barnes & Nobles. Pleased to be at your service." And it was then that I knew Mikey and me were meant to be. Exactly what, I wasn't sure, but I knew we were meant to meet each other. Maybe he could help take my mind off of the horrible things I couldn't get out of my head, all the reasons I hated to keep my thoughts unoccupied.

Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - The Marlins snapped a six-game losing streak with a 7-0 win over the Braves on Sunday, scoring all of their runs in the first three innings against red-hot Atlanta starter Alex Wood.
Wood (3-3) was unbeaten with a 2.18 ERA in seven starts for the NL-best Braves since joining the rotation full time at the end of July, but Miami jumped on him for eight hits in three frames.
Jeff Mathis hit a solo homer in the second inning and had a two-run double to cap a five-run third that made it 7-0.
"It's been a while since I got beat that bad," Wood said. "I can't remember the last time. ... Now it's how you bounce back. You just got to get back up on the horse."
The Marlins avoided a three-game sweep and won for just the second time in their last 12 games.
Nathan Eovaldi (3-5) -- 0-5 in his previous eight starts dating to July 20 -- got the run support and the victory, pitching eight innings and giving up just seven hits and two walks while striking out six.
Steve Cishek pitched the ninth to finish off the shutout. Both of Miami's wins during this 12-game stretch have come via shutouts.
Eovaldi has never thrown a shutout and thought Sunday might be his chance.
Marlins manager Mike Redmond had other ideas.
"I wanted it really bad," said Eovaldi. "Red came up to me and said, 'You're done,' and walked away real quick. I was like, 'Come on, Red. You kidding?' He's like, 'I know you hate me for it.'"
Redmond wanted Cishek to get some work.
"Can't really control it. He's got the final say and he's got his mind made up," said Eovaldi, who threw 102 pitches -- 73 for strikes.
The Braves had a six-game winning streak snapped.
Placido Polanco knocked in the first run with a single in the first inning on a 1-1 breaking ball Wood called "stupid." It allowed Polanco to do what he wanted -- slap a ball to the outfield to score a run.
"We got our butt kicked today, but it happens," said Braves catcher Gerald Laird.
The Braves won the series 2-1, and Laird said that's what matters.
"If we win series here on out," he said, "we're gonna be where we want to be and that's the postseason."
The Marlins are traveling to Chicago for three straight against the Cubs starting Monday to end their nine-game road trip.
The Braves are 5-1 on a nine-game homestand that ends with three against the New York Mets starting Monday.
The Marlins reinstated outfielder Chris Coghlan from the 15-day disabled list
on Sunday. They recalled pitcher Chris Hatcher and selected the contract of

Last night (May 29), music stars gathered in Oklahoma City for Healing in the Heartland: Relief Benefit Concert, a benefit to raise money for victims of the tornado in Oklahoma, which killed 24 people earlier this month. The live event was organized and headlined by Oklahoma native Blake Shelton, and included performances from his wife Miranda Lambert, Reba McEntire, Ryan Tedder, Luke Bryan and more.
The concert concluded with a touching duet between Shelton and his Voice co-star Usher, for a performance of Michael Buble's "Home" (which Shelton covered a few years ago). Watch the duet up top.

MIAMI -- Former All-Star third baseman Placido Polanco agreed to a $2.75 million, one-year contract Thursday with the Miami Marlins, plugging the final hole in the team's projected lineup following a payroll purge.
The 37-year-old, who can earn an additional $250,000 in performance bonuses, battled injuries this year and hit .257 with two home runs and 19 RBIs in 90 games with the Philadelphia Phillies. The 15-year veteran is a career .299 hitter with 103 homers.
Other projected starters include Logan Morrison at first base, Donovan Solano at second, Adeiny Hechavarria at shortstop, Jeff Brantly at catcher, Giancarlo Stanton in right field, Justin Ruggiano in centre field and Juan Pierre in left field.
Hanley Ramirez played 90 games at third this year for Miami before being traded in July. That was part of the salary purge by the Marlins, who pared $146.5 million in future payroll when they swung a trade last month that sent former NL batting champion Jose Reyes, former NL ERA leader Josh Johnson and left-hander Mark Buehrle to Toronto.
The Marlins have a projected 2013 payroll of about $45.75 million. Their payroll on opening day this year was $112 million, not including money received in the Carlos Zambrano trade, but the team finished last in the NL East and drew smaller crowds than expected in its new ballpark.
Polanco was chosen to start in the All-Star game for the second time in 2011, but went only 10 for 58 (.172) after June 30 this year. The Phillies declined a $5.5 million option on Polanco after the season, and he received a $1 million buyout.
Polanco was the 2006 AL championship series MVP for Detroit, and he also played for St. Louis. He has 2,044 hits, and he has won two Gold Gloves at second base and one at third.
A native of the Dominican Republic, Polanco has a home in Miami and attended Miami-Dade Community College.
He would earn an additional $125,000 each for playing in 100 and 120 games. The deal was negotiated by agents Sam and Seth Levinson.
