Through the Veil ONLY
an Aisling Chronicles novel by Colleen Halverson
Elizabeth Tanner is no Tinkerbell, and her life is no fairy tale. Broke and drowning in student loans, the one thing she wants more than anything is a scholarship from the Trinity Foundation. But after the ancient Irish text she's studying turns out to be more than just a book, she becomes their prisoner instead. And when Trinity reveals Elizabeth is half-Fae, she finds herself at the center of a plot to save the magical races of Ireland from a brutal civil war.
As Commander of Trinity's elite warriors, Finn O'Connell isn't used to having his authority challenged. He doesn't know whether to punish or protect the infuriating young woman in his custody. When he discovers the Dark Fae want to use Elizabeth's abilities to control the source of all power in the universe, he'll risk everything to help her.
At the mercy of Trinity and enslaved to the Dark Fae, Elizabeth finds herself alone on the wrong side of an Irish myth thousands of years in the making. Refusing to be a pawn in their game, Elizabeth has to fight her way back to the man she loves, but to do so, she must wage her own war against the magic that binds her.

Chapter One
I slammed the last of my contraband vanilla latte and threw it in the bin. Flexing my fingers, I narrowed my eyes like Clint Eastwood, staring hard at the archival box holding The Book of Arranmore inside.
Go ahead master's thesis. Make my day.
Not that shooting at the ancient Irish manuscript would have solved any of my problems. In hindsight, I probably should have doused it in holy water, burned it, and buried its ashes beneath hallowed ground, but, you know, English major. Every book is sacred.
Not this one.
The slide of cardboard broke the silence in the reading room, and I closed my eyes tight for a moment, taking a deep breath before lifting the book from its nest. It sprawled open, thin October light catching the brilliant gold leaf illuminations. Tucking a loose curl behind my ear, I pressed my nose close to the pages.
A Fae woman danced across the vellum and her brown hair rippled over her shoulders, her emerald eyes sparkling.
"She looks a lot like you," my advisor had joked back in September.
I snorted. "I'm no Tinker Bell, Dr. F."
But that was when he still laughed. Before his wife Moiré died. Before everything changed.
Before the book started changing.
At first it was little things: a green tunic turned inky black, the snarling wolf on one page jumped to the next, a Cyclops's eye closed and then opened again.
But then things got grim. The writing started morphing. Little snippets of text would bleed through the pages, describing something like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but with Faeries. Then the creepy little golem creatures started crawling around in the margins, and, well. Yeah.
Burning it would have been a good idea.
Blinking hard, I refocused my eyes on the manuscript and breathed in a sigh of relief. Everything looked the same. Not one hair out of place with Faerie girl, not one misplaced word, no creepy devil people floating to the surface. Just a normal, medieval manuscript. Nothing to see here.
Taking a deep breath, I reached over to the computer and sifted through some tunes I had, perhaps, illegally downloaded. Time to lock the chattering psycho monkeys back into their respective cages. Only one cure for the transcription blues.
Oh, yes, I thought with a click of the mouse.
In seconds, an AC/DC guitar riff blared from the speakers, announcing Angus Young was "Back in Black." Buried far back in the archives of the Institute, not many faculty or students hung around the reading room late on a Friday. I cranked up the volume, drowning out the chorus of worry in my mind. Time to get to work. The clock to graduation was ticking, and I could almost hear the interest compounding on my student loans.
"Ranger up, Lizzie," I said, mimicking my dad's deep baritone.
But Dad, this book might be possessed by demonic entities!
I imagined Dad towering over me, his deep-set eyes glittering black just as they always did when he was about to make military analogies.
Patton was also haunted by demonic entities. They were called Nazis! Focus on the mission, Lizzie!
"Yes, sir!" I gave a fake salute to the air.
I glanced over at my copy of Thurneysen's Grammar of Old Irish and thumbed through the pages, my fingers smoothing over the pastel rainbow of sticky notes. Thurneysen and I had become quite chummy since Moiré passed away. She had been the Irish language professor at the Celtic Studies Institute at St. Brendan's, and the cancer that had taken her shocked us all. She would have listened to me about the changing book, chin in hand, nodding calmly at my crazed ramblings. I didn't dare approach Dr. F about it.
Hey, that book you got in Ireland last summer? I'm having some issues transcribing it because the pictures keep moving around.
Yeah, that would land me a one-way ticket out of my master's program and into the nuthouse. Besides, it wasn't as if the old man was in any condition to worry about me and my mental issues. When he first noticed some discrepancy between my notes and the text, he scolded me about my carelessness and waved me away with a series of corrections sprawled on scratch paper. Since Moiré died, it's enough if he makes it to work before noon. If at all.
With a deep sigh, I reached for my pencil. The space between my fingers and the pencil snapped with a crack of energy. It flew as if on invisible strings and landed smack into my palm.
"Jesus!" Tumbling from the stool, I landed on my ass with a hard thud. I gaped at the pencil as if I expected it to speak to me at any moment, but it was just an ordinary yellow number two, the nub slightly worn from use. Heart pounding, I threw it across the room, and it clattered to the floor.
A chill washed over me, and I blinked, staring down at my hands, a slight tingle like fizzing soda pop pulsing through my lifeline and down into the tips of my fingers. I clenched my fists, and the feeling disappeared.
"Elizabeth?" Candace, our sunny undergraduate intern, tapped my shoulder with her small, manicured finger. The heavy perfumed smell of violets radiated from her. She called to me again over the music.
"Why are you sitting on the floor?"
I swallowed hard. "I…uh…lost my pencil."
More like lost your marbles.
I scrambled up to the desk and turned down the music a click. Taking a deep breath, I turned to Candace. "Sorry, what's up?"
"There's a man up front who's asking a lot of questions, and I…um…"
All the blood drained from my face. "Oh, shit. What's today?"
"The thirteenth."
"Oh, shit." A cold sweat beaded on my forehead.
"What's wrong? What is it?"
"It's the Trinity Foundation. I totally forgot they were coming this afternoon!"
Apparently Dr. Forrester had, too, or else he would have been there to greet them. I scrambled over to my desk seeking out my proposal, papers blowing across the wooden surface in my frantic search.
"Have you seen my proposal? I swear it was just here!"
Candace shook her head, picking up stray note cards scattered on the floor.
I rummaged through my backpack, forgotten Altoids and discarded pennies sticking to my fingers. Pulling out a stack of papers from the bottom, my heart sank as I took in the title "Pagan Influences on Illuminations of Early Monastic Manuscripts of Northern Uí Néill" covered in a dark, splattering Rorschach coffee stain.
Candace peered over my shoulder. "Doesn't Dr. Forrester usually deal with the public? I mean, who cares?"
"Who cares? They're our biggest donors!" I balled up the ruined proposal and chucked it in the corner.
The Trinity Foundation operated out of Chicago, but its roots lay deep in the motherland. Dr. Forrester had mentioned their visit, but I completely flaked, what with all the Harry Potter bullshit going down. "I applied for a grant from them to travel to Ireland next summer and wanted to make a good impression."
Shoulders slumped, I glanced down at the clothes that had barely passed the sniff test this morning. Faded skinny jeans and Dad's vintage Police T-shirt did not scream budding Irish medievalist scholar. I tugged at my yellow thrift-store cardigan, my fingers shaking as I fumbled with the pearly buttons. One of them was cracked, a half-moon dangling from a saffron thread. Classy.
"You look…fine." Candace grimaced. "Well, maybe the hair…"
"Right." I twisted my long mass of curls into a bun and stuck what I prayed was not an enchanted pencil through it.
"Besides," Candace said. "It's not about how you look. Wow him with your extensive knowledge of Irish mythology."
"Yes." I nodded, taking a deep breath. "I know things."
"You know things," Candace repeated, flashing me a reassuring smile.
"I know a lot of things. Irish things." I squared my shoulders. "I can do this."
I can do this.
I poked a few more curls up into my bun. "Yeah?"
"The AC/DC?"
"Oh, right!" I raced to press pause on the desktop.
Candace glanced down at the trash can. "You know, Dr. F would kill you if he knew you brought coffee in here."
"I was done with it, I swear!"
Candace shrugged and shook her head as she trotted back to the lobby.
I took a moment to collect myself. My heart raced, slamming in my chest like someone was using my breastbone as a timpani. I brushed a bit of dust from my cardigan and stepped out into the hallway.
"Dr. Forrester said 4:30 p.m., and it is now nearly five o'clock!" A gruff male voice echoed through the lobby.
Candace's fingers tapped on the keyboard behind the front desk. "I'm-I'm sorry. He had a department meeting. He should be here soon."
I turned the corner and took in the large man towering over Candace's shiny blond head. Tapping his foot and muttering something about being "late for another meeting," he shot her a menacing scowl. He clutched the edge of the desk as if he might overturn it and swallow our intern whole like a mini eggroll.
Candace bit her lip, her big brown manga eyes wide with bubbling anxiety as she fumbled with some files.
I hated a bully. Being an army brat with a new school almost every year, I could spot one a mile away.
"Can I help you?" I threw back my shoulders and tried to make myself appear taller.
The man puffed his linebacker chest. "Finn O'Connell. I'm with the Trinity Foundation. I have an appointment with Dr. Kevin Forrester." He had a crisp Irish accent, his consonants cutting through the shafts of afternoon light spilling into the room.
"I'm sorry, but Dr. Forrester is out."
Where are you, old man?
I stepped forward, pasting a confident smile on my face. "Is there something I could help you with?"
Mr. O'Connell stalked over to me, and I fought the urge to step back. Six foot five and no problems with invading personal space, the man from Trinity emitted waves of heat, and his body hummed like a pulsing engine shrouded in gleaming black chrome.
My heart raced as I tilted my head up and up to meet a pair of intense gray eyes that made me forget my last name. Gritting my teeth, I steeled myself, crossing my arms. Never show fear: rule number one for managing the bullies in your life.
"Dr. Forrester recently acquired a new manuscript—"
"The Book of Arranmore!"
Finn tilted his head, trying to make sense of the jumble of consonants I had just vomited. "Excuse me?"
"Um, yes. The Book of Arranmore. Sorry." I twisted my mouth into some semblance of a smile, but inside my stomach knotted, thinking of the changing pictures, the shifting text. "It's a wonderful new addition to our collection."
Finn glanced down the hallway toward the archives. "Would you mind if I take a look?"
"Um…" I curled my fingers into my palm. "I think it might be best if we wait for Dr. Forrester. If you would like to come back later—"
"No, I would not like to come back later. My time is precious, Miss…?"
I raised my eyebrows, bristling at the Miss. "Tanner. Elizabeth Tanner."
"Miss Tanner," he said. "As a contributing member to this institution, I think I am entitled to a small preview."
Entitled. Only certain kinds of men could throw that word around. Men in Burberry leather trench coats, dry-cleaned, pressed shirts so white they glistened like morning snow. Men with large checkbooks. Men, who, with the flick of a lazy, indecipherable signature could decide the destiny of my academic career.
"Of course, Mr. O'Connell," I said. "We have it in the back here, if you would like to follow me. I was just working on it."
Finn rode my heels, and I hurried to keep some distance between us. Opening the door and crossing the reading room, I darted to my workspace, leaning against the desk to establish my territory. I raised my chin, but inside my stomach fluttered as Finn took in the mountains of scattered notes I had amassed over the past few weeks. A messy desk is the sign of a true genius, right? Judging from the scowl on the Irishman's face, he didn't seem to think so.
I took a deep breath and was about to open my mouth to wax intellectual on The Book of Arranmore when my hand slipped over the computer mouse. AC/DC screeched across the wood-paneled walls, elaborating on the calamitous effects of American thighs.
I let out a squeak, whirling around and fumbling to press pause, my hands shaking violently. The music stopped mid-scream, and then silence.
"Interesting taste in music, Miss Tanner."
His words burned hot against the side of my neck, and I gasped. Finn stood a mere inch behind me. He stared down at the computer screen, the blue light flashing on the teasing smile spread across his face. Heat bloomed in my cheeks, and I clicked on the tiny X to close out the program.
"Oh, that wasn't mine!" I brushed my hair out of my eyes. "These dang undergrads. I mean, who listens to AC/DC, right?"
Finn's smile faded, his dark stare replacing the brief lightness in his features. I chewed on my lip, arrested for a moment by the impossible length of his eyelashes.
"Is this it?" Finn turned and planted his fists on the table, caging the manuscript with his arms.
"Yes." Closing in on Finn, I breathed in the clean, leather smell emanating from his long coat. Warm and intoxicating, he smelled like a mix of fresh laundry and badass. I shook my head, knocking my brain cells back in line. "We've just begun the translation into English, but already we can see some interesting new insights into pre-Celtic mythology."
Finn flashed me a penetrating glance, and I swallowed, averting my eyes back to the manuscript.
"Excuse me?" The Irishman turned to me in alarm.
Ice water raced through my veins. Faerie girl no longer had a smile on her face. Instead, her mouth had widened in an O, her eyes panic-stricken. Two black bracelets circled her wrists. Twisted chains swirled down the edge of the page, and a hideous figure lurked in a corner grasping the ends. He had a long thin nose, small beady black eyes, and his lipless mouth turned up in a sneer beneath the hood of his cloak.
"No." My throat tightened, and I blinked hard, rubbing my eyes. I leaned over Finn's arm, pouring all my attention into the illuminations, staring at the bracelets. Squinting, I could just make out some strange writing etched across them.
"Are you all right?"
I clutched at my scalp, blood pounding in my ears.
"Miss Tanner!"
I jumped. "What?"
Finn's hard stare brought me back to the surface, and I blinked, swallowing the lump in my throat. "I'm sorry, I—uh—I just noticed something new about the illumination."
"Have you been working on this book for some time?"
"Yes, since September…" My voice wavered, and I clutched the back of my chair.
Finn's eyes sought mine, and I averted my gaze, turning toward the window.
Outside, the towering steeple of St. Brendan's Cathedral poked through the sea of concrete modernist architecture. The library's wide windows displayed endless stacks of books haloed beneath the fluorescent lights. I spent most of my time darting between these two spaces, biceps blazing with the stacks of books poking into my stomach as I schlepped them up the stairs.
Caffeinate, read, write, repeat.
That had been my life for a year since the day I came to St. Brendan's. But as Dr. F said, to study Ireland one has to go to Ireland.
"The book? What's in it?" Finn prompted.
I let out a long shuddering breath, gathering my courage. "It's an encyclopedia of sorts by someone who signs his name as Lorcan." I began again. "It documents all the races of the Fae, you know, like Faeries."
He raised an eyebrow. "Faeries?"
"Yeah, um, but not like, you know, the Lucky Charms kind. He goes through all the magical invasions of Ireland, starting with the Fir Bolgs right up to the Tuatha Dé Danann.'' A tremor started in my hands, and I jammed them into the pockets of my jeans.
Finn's eyes rested on the vellum, narrowing on the insignia on the Fae woman's dress. The Tree of Life, with all its curling roots and branches, intertwined on her smooth, ample chest, creating a perfect circle.
I cleared my throat, taking his silence as a cue to continue. "Lorcan goes into great detail about all the different Faerie tribes of the underworld, also known as Tír na nÓg, the land of youth. That's where the Faeries went into exile after the Celtic bard Amergin tricked them into giving up Ireland." I leaned in, trying to make eye contact. "It's a great story. Do you know it? Amergin calls the wind and overcomes the Faeries. Am gáeth i mmuir. ar domni. Am tond trethan i tír. I am wind on sea. I am ocean wave."
Finn's eyes never looked up from the manuscript. "Thank you for the enlightening history, Miss Tanner. There's nothing like being lectured on ancient Irish mythology by an American."
I shrank back, biting my lip. "Um, right."
Finn leaned closer over the massive leather-bound book, and forgetting himself, reached out to touch the design on the woman's dress. It could have been another hallucination, but I thought I saw the symbol on her dress glow beneath his fingertip.
"Please don't touch!" I grabbed his hand, and a shock went through me at the sudden intimacy of our fingers. His muscles tensed, and I pulled my hand away. "Sorry, the manuscript is…sensitive."
He gave me a withering look, and his eyes drifted over to my Thurneysen and my scribbled translations. My heart sank as he frowned at my handwriting.
"Are these your notes?"
"Yes, but they're still a little rough, I—ˮ
"This word." He pointed to the word "aisling." "You're mistranslating it."
I forced a smile up at Finn, my teeth feeling too large for my mouth. "Are you sure? Aisling means 'vision' or 'dream'."
Finn raised his eyebrows.
"It's also a popular Irish name for a girl…" I blew a stray curl away from my face. "Or maybe there's another meaning I'm not aware of…?"
Finn's finger trailed over my sloppy, scrawling handwriting. "Ní mór ceann aisling a fheiceáil Tír na nÓg." Lorcan is not saying you need 'vision' to see into Tir na nÓg. He's saying you need 'a vision,' an aisling. That's what this woman is here." Finn pointed to the woman on the page. "She's a type of Fae."
"Oh, I…I didn't know…" I trailed off, my hands shaking as I placed a stack of notes over my offending translation, hiding it from Finn's gaze. Heat rose in my face at being corrected. I had worked so hard to develop my fluency, first with Moiré and then with Dr. Forrester, checking and double-checking that sentence. Guess I'll be waiting tables again this summer.
With a low sound in the back of his throat, Finn snapped up The Book of Arranmore, placed it under his arm, and headed toward the door.
I gaped at the Irishman. "Hey! What are you doing?" I made a grab for the manuscript. "That book is priceless! Stop!"
Finn brushed me away. I ducked and placed myself between him and the door.
"Mr. O'Connell, this is not a lending library! I don't care who you are. Taking a book from the Institute is theft!"
He glowered and my legs trembled as he leaned in close, shooting one hand against the wall. His warm breath brushed against my cheek, but I refused to avert my gaze.
"Get out of my way."
Finn let out a sound like a half curse and a half growl, and with one muscled arm, scooped me up as if I weighed no more than a bag of feathers and dropped me to the side. I struggled against him, trying in vain to grab onto Arranmore, but he slipped out the door.
Letting loose a string of expletives, I raced down the hall. "Candace! Call the cops! Call the cops now!"
But Candace was nowhere to be seen.
The door to the Institute flew open and Finn stopped dead in his tracks. Dr. Forrester stood there, his leather satchel slipping off his shoulder. He placed his hand on the top of his flyaway white hair, and his light blue eyes behind his wire-framed spectacles opened wide, taking in the scene.
"What is going on here? Finn? What are you doing?"
"He's trying to steal The Book of Arranmore!" I dashed around Finn and stood beside Dr. Forrester in an attempt to make a human shield between the Irishman and the door.
Dr. Forrester sighed and rolled his eyes. The old man may have been an American, but he had no problem scolding Finn in fluent Irish Gaelic. "Go hifreann leat! Tabhair an leabhar ar ais go dtí Elizabeth." To hell with you! Give the book back to Elizabeth!
Finn barked back, gesturing to me. "Tá an leabhar seo tábhachtach, Kevin! Agus a fhágann tú é leis an leathcheann?"
"Did you just call me an idiot? How dare you?" I charged the Irishman, but Dr. F placed a warning hand on my arm, holding me back.
"Now, Finn. Elizabeth is quite capable, I assure you."
Finn flashed me a skeptical glance and shook his head.
"Give it back to her." Dr. Forrester's voice softened to the barest whisper. "Le do thoil." Please.
Finn's shoulder muscles relaxed, a sulky frown contorting his features. He stomped over to me and shoved the book in my hands.
"Hey! Be careful!" I clutched the manuscript protectively against my chest. "This isn't a football!"
He arched an eyebrow at me. "And it isn't an ordinary book, either."
My pulse skipped for a moment, wondering what he knew. "You're right about that," I whispered.
Finn leaned in close, his shoulder grazing mine. "Take care of it for me, Meiriceánach."
"Déanfaidh mé é agus fáilte, Éireanach." The words rolled off my tongue as I threw him a dark stare. With pleasure, Irishman.
"Your accent needs work," Finn said.
"Excuse me?"
Dr. Forrester cleared his throat. "Finn, this is Elizabeth. I told you about her. She was Moiré's student."
Finn's features softened, and he looked at me as if for the first time.
"Elizabeth, meet Finn O'Connell. My nephew."

Ah ok, so after looking at form videos and techniques. I think my problem had to do with using to much of my back and not my legs. So once it got past knees, instead of thrusting forward with my hips I pulled with my back.
Ill get a few videos of form next workout. I'm probably rounding on the way down.
Another thing, when I take in my gulp of air to fill up my belly to protect by back, am I tensing/engaging my abs at the same time?
Once over, I was just engaging my gut, without taking that gulp of air. Then I started taking that gulp of air without tensing the abs. Should I be doing both?
Ah ok, so after looking at form videos and techniques. I think my problem had to do with using to much of my back and not my legs. So once it got past knees, instead of thrusting forward with my hips I pulled with my back.
I am not a bodybuilding/fat loss/strength training "guru" BUT I achieved a lean state with ease after learning the correct way to train and eat and I want to HELP YOU achieve the same.
Getting fit is also about managing your mindset:
Okay, So I squatted 90kg today and the same thing. I had a bit of "spinal soreness" (as best as I can describe) for a few minutes then it went away to a nice lower back pump. As if it got a good workout. I checked my form with one of the trainers who thought nothing seemed wrong with it.
Could it simply be too much weight? I'm always near failure on the last rep on the last set. Where is takes a lot of push to get the weight up and a lot of constipation looking faces.
My stick my arse out, chest up, lower down, bend the knees, I cant figure out what i'm doing wrong.
Everyone says to take a deep breath in and keep it in your belly, while some say just suck your gut into your spine. Which one? I take a breath in my gut and perform the movement, and I simultaneously supposed to be tensing, or engaging my core??
Last edited by Lockstock; 07-08-2013 at 12:17 AM.
On second look, It appear I may but wink just very slightly at the end of the movement with squatting. It seems to be an issue with my hamstring flexibility, which makes sense. I'm on my arse all day then I go to the gym to squat.

According to a recently published report by TechSci Research -- "United States Organic Food Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2018"-- the U.S. organic food market is slated to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 14% from 2013 until 2018. The demand for organic food is increasing, with 81% of American families having shopped for organic food items according to estimates from Organic Trade Association.
It's no surprise that giants like Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT), Kroger (NYSE:KR), Target (NYSE:TGT) and others are stepping up their game in the organic products landscape in order to unseat the undisputed king of natural- and organic-food retail -- Whole Foods Market (NASDAQ:WFM). Let's take a look at the recently reported quarter of Whole Foods and see how it is plans to counter the threats that it is facing.
The disappointment continues
Whole Foods has been through a series of disappointing earnings reports due to competitive pricing pressure from other grocery chains that are moving into the organic and natural foods market. As a result, its shares have dropped 40% from its peak in November last year. Does this drop provide an opportunity to grab more shares? Let's take a look.
Despite the competition, in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, Whole Foods' sales grew approximately $300 million to a record $3.3 billion. Its comparable store sales, or comps, excluding the Easter shift, increased 5% year-over-year, reflecting healthy market share gains. Quarterly earnings came in at $0.38 per share. However, it missed consensus estimates on both revenue and earnings.
Expansion moves
The company opened three new stores during the quarter, taking the store count to 374, spread across 41 states in three countries. It plans to open 36 to 39 stores in fiscal 2014 and 38 to 45 stores in fiscal 2015. Moreover, it expects to end the year with around 400 stores and cross the 500-store mark in 2017. Over the long-term, it projects the need for 1,200 Whole Foods Market stores in the United States alone.
Besides the residential sector consumers, even the restaurants and education sectors have started offering organic food in the U.S. Whole Foods has provided a roadmap through fiscal 2018, and it hinted at attaining $25 billion in sales in the next five years. Given the projected market growth and a strong balance sheet, this does not look like an over-ambitious target. The long-term growth story looks promising.
Moves to counter the threats
Whole Foods has already moderated the average price per item growth from 3.3% to a three-year low of 1.7% last quarter. So, it is already responding proactively to increasing competition. As prices fall, it will attract more consumers. Also, it isn't scared of Wal-Mart. In a CNBC interview, Whole Foods co-CEO Walter Robb said --
"Wal-Mart's been in the organic space for some time so, that being said, they are an excellent competitor. And I will say historically that of all the competitors in the market their customers overlap the least with ours. In the end I think it's an affirmation that this organic food marketplace continues to grow. "
In April, Wal-Mart announced that it will be putting its muscle behind Wild Oats organic products. The new line of organic products will be 25% cheaper than other national brands. However, it remains to be seen how Wal-Mart implements such an aggressive price cut. Todd J. Kluger, vice president of marketing for Lundberg Family Farms, told Rodale News in an interview --
"I think it's a bit dubious, because there are many organic products in the marketplace that only enjoy a 25 percent premium over conventional food. There isn't much you can do to cut the cost of organic ingredients. Just certification and organic farming practices cost you more. That's already a 15 to 20 percent difference from conventional."
Kroger is also trying to make its presence felt in the organic food market. It is reducing prices of organic items on its shelves, and a move such as this will hit its margin. Kroger offers Simple Truth and Simple Truth Organic exclusive brands of natural and organic foods that are "Free From 101" artificial ingredients and preservatives. However, Kroger won't have smooth sailing in the organic and natural products market as it is facing a potential class-action lawsuit that will determine whether the Simple Truth brand lives up to the promises on the label.
The competition in the industry looks serious, and Whole Foods will need to keep prices in check if it to succeed. In addition, the company will have to expand its stores at a good pace in order to keep up with other big-box retailers. This is the reason why investors should wait on the sidelines and wait for Whole Foods' moves to bear fruit before buying the stock on the pullback.

A funny thing happened to Nick Riewoldt - he learned to love the game again
- From: Herald Sun
- May 19, 2013
HIS voice suddenly becomes stronger. Just for those few words there is a distinct change.
It's clearly something he's repeated many times and it's almost like Nick Riewoldt is talking to one of his young players.
"It can change so quickly," he states.
"You see every year someone bobs up, someone falls away. Footy is so unpredictable like that, it can all change so quickly."
The topic of conversation is an article penned last week by Western Bulldogs veteran Bob Murphy about his battle in coming to terms with the fact he will never play in a premiership and his mindset is now to help the next generation.
Riewoldt hasn't read it but he knows all about it.
At 30 he's played in three Grand Finals for no silverware and is captain of a team which is in rebuild mode, 14th on the ladder with a 2-5 record.
"You have to be realistic about where you are at," he says.
"We've had a number of discussions about it, particularly the senior players, with Scott (Watters) just about the responsibility of leading and you talk about legacy and pride.
"All those words get thrown around.
"Certainly the motivation for us as a group is still there.
"For the senior players it is about leading and showing the way for the younger guys.
"For the younger guys it is about establishing themselves, building a career and learning to compete.
"We are creating the next generation but at the same time you want these guys to fast-track as quickly as possible."
He says it again: "It can change so quickly."
Despite the slow start to the season Riewoldt has been buoyed by the team's ability to push top sides Collingwood and reigning premier Sydney before shooting down finals aspirant Carlton last week.
"We're not far away at all," he says. "All the conversations we're having is all about making sure if the door opens, we are ready to walk through it."
Riewoldt's own door was supposed to be closing, if not already closed, given it was only a couple of seasons ago his chronic knee problem was labelled career-ending.
But he's had statistically his best start to a season.
Last week Carlton coach Mick Malthouse was moved to say: "What has happened with Nick is that a lot of people have underestimated the resilience of a champion."
Adelaide coach Brenton Sanderson, who has spent all week trying to think up ways to curb him today, said: "He's in career-best form. He's arguably the best player in the competition at the moment and certainly the most influential."
Teammate Nick Dal Santo says: "I've never seen him play better."
How is this so? Is there a magic wand? Is it married life?
"It is hard to put your finger on it," Riewoldt says.
"I think I've probably had better periods at stages throughout my career.
"I suppose it's more the age attached to it. As soon as you get over 30 in every other walk of life you're still trying to develop a career and you are a young person.
"But in football, you reach 30 you're an old man. It's funny how those perceptions work. I can't put it down to any one thing, it's just the way it has panned out. I'm really enjoying it though."
He does have one theory that the dark and brooding Riewoldt of 2011 who was hobbled by the knee injury and lost his love for the game is an image people can't shake from their minds.
"Everyone goes through (ups and downs) at various stages," he said.
"My best year was 2009 and we all know what happened that year (lost to Geelong in the Grand Final).
"In 2010 I was probably in career-best form and then blew the hammy apart, but still played some OK footy towards the end of the year.
"2011 was just a write-off.
"Then last year my form was really solid, I got injured late and missed the last four games so you sort of get forgotten a little bit.
"This year feels like an extension of last year but it's just that one year (of 2011) which I think at times sticks in people's minds.
"People are talking about Jonathan Brown like that at the moment, but I have no doubt he'll come out, whether it's this week, but at some stage he's going to ... dominate games."
Riewoldt knows his knee isn't going to get better, but he's learnt to deal with it.
One opposition assistant coach noted of Riewoldt in the pre-game warm-up recently that he could hardly walk. Two hours later he was best-on-ground.
A six-day break this week means he will go for a light jog the day before the game and that's the sum of his preparation.
"Every week I am managing it," he says.
"It's not something that is going to improve, it's just the nature of what I've got.
"There are plenty of players like it in the competition.
"Once you sort of have that knee, they deteriorate and they don't go away. You need to manage them."
Last year he had the revolutionary treatment which has rejuvenated Western Bulldog Adam Cooney's career - blood is taken out of the knee, manipulated and then placed back in.
"I had a bit of that done last year and found some pretty good relief. We have got that up our sleeves again this year," Riewoldt says.
"It doesn't alter the biology of the knee or improve the structure, it just gives you a bit of relief."
Football seems fun again for Riewoldt although he's quick to point out it's better when you're winning: "The game's great and it is in great shape. The game is fun when you're winning and you know you are going to win, but the game has probably never been harder to play, it is so competitive."
Saints fans need not worry about the skipper following the lead of his good friend, Brendon Goddard, and exploring free agency.
"The landscape has changed clearly, the new teams coming in and compromised drafts, so the dynamic has really changed. Obviously you don't ever want to see 200-game players leave the club and we've probably had at various stages people come and go," he says.
"I'm certainly not going anywhere and Lenny (Hayes) and Milney, they are St Kilda people for life."
Riewoldt has started exploring options for life after football. He can't see himself coaching and has recently dabbled in some commentary with Channel 7.
Last week he was in the chair for the Geelong-Essendon clash. So what's it like watching Geelong?
Riewoldt knows exactly where the question is coming from. A decade ago it was St Kilda who were widely acclaimed as the superpower on the rise with former coach Grant Thomas predicting multiple premierships.
"I have nothing but admiration for them really," Riewoldt says.
"(Last week) I just couldn't believe the way they played, how bold they are.
"We spoke before the Carlton game about how Geelong had 10 players under 50 games and they managed to get it done. We had the same at the weekend, 10 players under 50 games and I think probably eight of them were under 10 games."
In other words, it can change so quickly.

I am booking a short trip SIN-BKK the weekend of 4th/5th March. I have checked prices on the following carriers:
1. SQ, 6 choices of flight there and back SGD 387
2. JetStarAsia, 3 choices of flight each way, best price (but not the best timings) SGD 162, the timings I need would cost SGD 243
3. TigerAirways, 1 choice of flight each way, SGD 403.21
4. AirAsia, 4 choices of timings each way, cheapeast SGD 171 but rubbish timing, the timing I need would cost SGD 213 SGD
My point is the LCC are not that much cheaper than SQ when SQ offers better service, much more choice, full meal, alcahol, etc, especially Tiger Air.
Are SQ doing a really good job of pricing their ticket or are the LCC not doing enough to get their fares low enough.
Personally I will choose the SQ ticket for the reason that the price is not that much more considering how much more you get for the money (in terms of choice, service & cost).
As a comparison I've flown in europe between BCN and LHR and the easyjet fares were much lower than the BA fares for the same route.
Any thoughts anyone else?

IAE de lyon (corporate finance)
Johnson and Wales University, Providence RI (MBA)
Dear students/parents,
My name is Jamal, I am a full time employee in a local bank in Warwick RI where I started my new position on October first 2012 after I graduated from Johnson & Wales University last spring by successfully getting an MBA in Global Business Leadership with a concentration in Financial Management. Furthermore I got a Master's in Corporate Finance from Institut d Administration des Entreprises Jean Moulin University in Lyon France on June 2008 which enabled me to enhance my technical and leadership skills in accounting, financial reporting and control, portfolio management and definitely develop my communication skills depending on the audience and the specific segment I intend to target.
On a separate note, I am a native French and Arabic speaker, both languages where I had many opportunities to consolidate my writing and speaking abilities through master thesis, speeches, presentations during 17 years of studies within the French and Moroccan educational system. Moreover, I have permanently shown my passion and enthusiasm for tutoring since I was in high school where I developed a natural way to tutor groups of classmates that needed additional support in order to get better grades. My way as a successful tutor actually focuses on making student enthusiastic and excited about the subject I am teaching either French, Arabic, accounting or finance which is the most adequate technique for students to have good grades and naturally pass the class.
I had a very interesting experience as a mentor at Mary E Fogarty Elementary school and also Veazie Street Elementary school where I had to prepare a lesson every trimester focusing on different topics regarding my country of origin. As a tutor, I always start a short discussion with my students to make them overcome any sort of hurdles linked to communication issues. Furthermore, I have always been a tutor at Johnson & Wales University where I was very happy and pleased to help out my fellow classmates or friends constantly improving their level, getting more enthusiastic to significantly increase their performance and consequently getting better grades.
All in all, beyond the fact that I am a perfect French and Arabic speaker, I consider myself a very good listener and have attention into details, which are essential qualities when dealing with younger students or even with college students. I am very confident that my previous experience tutoring classmates, friends and kids in elementary schools over Rhodes Island will help me out to be a great tutor in the 4 subjects I have mentioned.
Together, we are going to build cultural bridges, and show a unique approach to deal with students, by continuously reminding them about time management issues, and the goals we have set up together prior to starting the first lesson. Please don't hesitate to contact me for further information or any kind of inquiry.
Thank you,

If you're interested in online lessons, message Jamal to get started.
So far I found Jamal extremely easy to work with. He is very knowledgeable on the subject he is teaching me (Arabic). He answered all of my questions and I felt very comfortable asking them. I feel like I learned a lot from him in just one tutoring session. Thanks Jamal!
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Prior to getting my MBA in financial management where I mastered in advanced accounting, cost analysis, financial reporting and control among other subjects, I had the great opportunity to get a master's in corporate finance from IAE de Lyon in France where I studied accounting and finance according to IFRS--International Financial Reporting Standards--that helped me to develop a deep critical thinking and sens of analysis in order to efficiently read and analyze financial statement and disclosures according to US GAAP.
I also had great experience tutoring group of classmates and friends who were seeking better understanding of accounting principles and the importance of accounting as a dashboard that indicates financial soundness of a company.
Arabic is one of the most exciting and attractive languages. I am perfectly fluent in writing, speaking, and also teaching Arabic as a professional tutor due to my strong educational background in Arabic that I have learned and mastered during 15 years of my academic curriculum. I had great professors and educators whom have taught me Arabic philosophy, arts and before that, advanced grammar. I also had great opportunities to show my skills and passion in Arabic through teaching my French and other European friends regardless of their knowledge of Arabic or Arab culture. I believe that the most amazing moment is when you see your students reading and learning a language with completely different alphabets and characters that starts from right to left! My enthusiasm, professionalism and passion to teach Arabic will enable students to learn this amazing language thoroughly and efficiently.
Bonjour! French, or Moliere's language, is an artistic language that I had the opportunity to learn and enhance with Arabic since I opened my eyes to this world! I grew up as a student of the French educational system, so naturally all the programs and curriculum were in French. I also graduated from IAE de Lyon Universite de Jean Moulin III where I got a master's in corporate finance and management. My professionalism, dedication and passion are my cornerstone that enable me to teach with enthusiasm and pragmatism. I also had opportunities to tutor friends and classmates while preparing my MBA in financial management at Johnson and Wales University in Providence, RI, and it has been a great experience where I had to show my educational methods and sense of communication.
Bonjour! You have reached Jamal the most passionate professional tutor

Last week I had a class with a group of family therapy students. We talked about different models, concepts and practitioners who set the way for family therapy to evolve into what it is today.
In the middle of a discussion about a particular case study, one student raised his hand and said something along the lines: "Professor is it A or B? According to this model, it looks like it is A, in which case I do not see how it can be beneficial to a client." He asked me a question, listed two options, picked one of the options and told me why this option did not work. And he seemed very determined that this was the only answer.
I invited the student to examine the question he just asked, and unpack the layers of information this question was seeking to uncover. The student repeated the question, in a slower tone; he was determined to provide the information and explain the answer, before getting any feedback from me or his peers.
In everyday life, these situations invite power struggles, which usually result in conflict. In a therapeutic setting, the therapist may invite the client to explore the structure of the question, recognize the method that the client chose to deliver information, and invite him to examine the intentions associated with it. An attentive therapist would have an opportunity to notice and interrupt the exchange patterns between the clients in the room.
At this point, I had a choice — to give a definition of A and B and talk about the theory, or to address the structure of the question and engage a student in a conversation about it. In front of me was an opportunity to bring textbook words to a practical example; the only thing standing between me and this teaching moment was a student.
One of my mentors taught me that, in a session, even the smallest interactions can provide material for therapeutic interventions. Clients being late to session, making repeated negative comments, questioning the decorations in the office or therapist's age — all have potential to be a therapeutic treasure and are worth exploring. It may be uncomfortable, and might bring resistance or anger in our clients, but this is what is called therapy — we bring to light and invite clients to process assumptions, attitudes, and associations that they are not aware of, or may be unwilling to work through. Through our dialogue, we invite and then "hold" the safe environment - not literary, but emotionally — as they process these new ways of thinking and interacting.
When we train students to become therapists, we — as professors — walk a tightrope, a balancing act between the scholarly impartment of knowledge and the development of a unique and individual artistry in our students with respect to applying that knowledge scenarios with real people. When a technician works on a vehicle, he follows a manual with clearly defined instructions. Alas, or fortunately, people do not come with a manual. So after learning the theoretical concepts in class, students start their individual journeys of fine-tuning how they will apply that knowledge, once they start working with the clients.
Sue Johnson calls people's interactional patterns "emotional dances" — people know their emotional dances so well that they participate in them without hearing the music. My student started the "dance" in the middle of our class discussion and we both had to make a choice — to continue the choreography of interaction by focusing on theory (content) or explore the intricacies of the interaction by talking about the structure of the choreography (process).
I was left in a precarious position as a professor — opening a path of dialogue with this student, without knowing where it would lead us. Would the student hear me? Will he understand my point? Or would he continue the pattern of his "dance," without missing a beat. The irony of this situation is that, as in therapy, we may not know where we are headed for a while, or it may be that a clear direction is never arrived at, at all. While I wouldn't suggest that automotive technicians have it easier, in this particular situation, I envied the tangible nature of their work, with clearly numbered parts and corresponding details in the manual for how to replace or fix them. Compared to the emotional dance we engage with our clients, and the challenge to find new ways for translating it into learning material for the students, I experienced a mild case of index-envy!

Valve earned yet more community goodwill when it launched Source Filmmaker last month, allowing anyone to try their hand at video editing and creation using the company's tools. In that short time, YouTube user "LiveCurious95" has learned the ins and outs of the software and used it to recreate one of the more memorable scenes from classic philosophical action film The Matrix. See that and the original scene below.
LiveCurious notes he "still needs to work on character movements; making them realistic is so hard". He's planning on doing future remakes of other Matrix scenes, so expect improvements there. Nonetheless, it's very impressive work as is.
