- Very good food, amazing service.OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/19/2014Great food, the place has quite a diffrent decor but it works, the place was quiet which made it great to chat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Last time I go!CriticDined on 9/16/2014Food came all at once despite request via server to have Chef stagger and serve as s/he saw best. So, 10 appetizers came all at once to Table for 2 and request made to at least keep food warm under heat light or use another one of the empty tables nearby. Server looks very upset, inconvienced and blamed us for ordering all at once. Foie gras pate was actually chicken liver pate. Food quality was mediocre; no creativity. At least server took off foie gras dish after noted. But great front door service by gentleman!Special Features:
- Food Was Very Good - Service Slowdarth2dineDined on 9/13/2014I reserved this restaurant because I thought it looked like a special place to take my wife for our 16th wedding anniversary. We were seated right away, but waited about 15 minutes to get our drink order in. The server apologized, and said that they seated late reservations. The bread basket came just before our meal. Our meal came to the table and we were finished our plates before our server even asked how our meal was. We noted a few tables around us that were getting great service by the same server. They were having birthdays. The food was amazing, if not for that, I am not sure if we would go back again. It is a pricey restaurant for sub standard service.Special Features:
- Fabulous!!!KristinDined on 9/13/2014Really an amazing restaurant. Great ambiance, friendly staff, amazing food! I can't wait to come back. Just love the owners!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Impressive First VisitAmplePortionsDined on 9/13/2014I tried to book this restaurant for a work related gathering earlier in the week but they were already full. Took my wife for our anniversary dinner on Saturday. What a great choice. Casual cozy dining area with fire place. The staff are very friendly and the service was fast. My wife had the duck and I had the wild boar rack. Both were prepared to perfection. Wine list is extensive and we enjoyed a French Merlot for $32.Finished off the meal with desserts that were excellent. Homemade ice cream on mine. The art work on display is tasteful and has a definite western theme. Most pieces are available for sale. If I have one negative comment, there is no need for the TV in the dining room.Special Features:
- Always a PleasureMJZ111Dined on 9/13/2014We have been to Open Range several times over the last few years. Each time, it has been a great meal out. It's not a fast food joint, so don't expect to be in and out in a half hour. Each time we go, the food is amazing. The tenderloin is melt-in-your-mouth delightfulness. The staff there take pride in their work and have added that personal touch each time I've been. I also appreciate that they take allergies seriously. Portions are filling and the food manages to be high quality and well presented without losing a home-cooked meal feel. The only reason I would hesitate to recommend it is purely selfish, in that the more people who experience this place, the harder it may become to get reservations ;)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unique placeWildAccountantDined on 9/12/2014Lots of local product including quality beef, chicken and pork, but also elk, bison and wild boar. The wild boar is spectacular. They just happened to run out of the elk special or I would have tried that. Menu goes from the common to very unique high quality game with really good preparation and taste. Found this through Open Table, and what a find! No chain restaurant here.Special Features:
- New favoriteDineomiteDined on 9/12/2014We discovered this restaurant on Open Table. The food and presentation are excellent and the price reasonable. Service was just right, attentive but not over bearing. We never felt rushed and were able to enjoy a relaxing meal. The only slight problem is parking. With only about a fozen spots behind to cover 2 restaurants you may have to look at street parking but be careful as some is by permit only. Love this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous as always!CBarDined on 9/10/2014Love, love, love the Porterhouse. It is a great deal if you share. The scallop potatoes are the best. Even bought extra to take home. Next time we really need to open the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic spotGriffinDined on 9/9/2014Being a regular at Open Range it's a go to recommendation for me in the NE. The service is always top notch and I have never had a bad meal. Try the porterhouse for two and you'll have an amazing evening with that special someone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place for BeefethelVIPDined on 9/6/2014This restaurant is local to us. We take oversea guests who want to experience the Alberta Beef and they are never disappointed. I had Alberta lamb shank this time and it was superb. There are alternatives to beef if people are not beef eaters, in fact, the fish dishes looked quite tempting. Our server was very attentive without being overbearing. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation, we have always eaten well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unbelievable!LovetoeatDined on 9/5/2014Coming from northern California's, we are a bit too snobby about food for our own good. This restuarant blew our minds! Never have I enjoyed a meal more. I think the chef is a genius!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a favouriteOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/5/2014Particularly good service - was able to fit a group of 6 in on a Friday night. Cocktail feature was really interesting and the Porterhouse project was a big hit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Family dinnerGinnDined on 8/31/2014As always the meal was fantastic and so was the service. Knowledgable staff and a relaxed environment made for a fantastic eveningSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always greatfoodloveDined on 8/24/2014We have been to open range several times, and it is always a pleasure. The food is excellent (especially the boar), and the service is always great. Would highly recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Open Range ReviewfoodhunterDined on 8/23/2014Great food and awesome service, first time being there and the waitress was very informative on food favorites and recommendations for wine. We had the bison flank and beef tenderloin, along with the ribs and sourdough cheese stuffed bread as apps. Reasonably priced (cheaper compared to Vintage, Ceasers, Catch) and portions were perfect - food was filling and tasted real ( organic beets and potatoes alongside locally sourced products). The atmosphere was rustic with comfortable seating and a positive ambience which allowed good conversation. Would highly recommend Open Range for the best steakhouse in Calgary. Next time will be trying the elk and sturgeon steak!Special Features:
- Open rangeMacsDined on 8/23/2014Marrow bones are awesome, they stay true to butchers with Porter house steaks, wild boar chops and elk, to name but a few. Arctic char and sturgeon available. Not just a steak house. Sauces and glazes are delicious. Servers knowledgeable about wine pairings. Excellent date night spot for my wife and I.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very nice, meat friendly placeEatsgoodmeatsDined on 8/22/2014Definitely a pleasent experience. Nice for LOCALly raised meat so also good for entertaining out of towners and business meetingaSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great placePoutineDestroyerDined on 8/21/2014I wanted to find a great steakhouse and I found it. Had the Porterhouse, tomato bisque, scalloped potatoes (awesome), and chocolate torte for dessert, all were some of the best I've ever had. Ambiance was...odd, old western music and hard to describe decor, but I really liked it and it worked. Servers were great and even went out of their way to spend time with some overly chatty customers. I would be back more often but it's pretty pricey (for us), but it's worth it depending on the occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Goatcheese cheesecakeDevonDined on 8/20/2014Im still thinking about it 48 hours later. My favorite restaurant in Calgary for years now. Never dissapointed.Special Features:
- outstandinglrb30Dined on 8/15/2014What a cool and different restaurant. We all enjoyed every bite of our meals at open range and since we all shared we tried quite a few things on the menu. The steak porterhouse was amazing! I Highly recommend a visit to this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedGrahamcrackerDined on 8/15/2014Elk steak was tough, no vegtables with the lamb and prices were very high for the quality of the food

- My favourite restaurantluvtoeatgoodfoodDined on 7/28/2014Everything is amazing at this restaurant. It really is my favorite restaurant in Calgary. The food is exceptional. Recommend this to everyone.Special Features:
- Date Nightmpg1958Dined on 7/26/2014We dine out very infrequently but Open Range was recently recommended to us. We were impressed by the nice selection of wines and beers available (although I ended up choosing a martini). The meals were wonderful - I seldom eat beef .... so when a craving for filet comes along .... it's critical that it be cooked to perfection .... as it was ! We always try to support a local establishment (as opposed to chain type restaurants). The ambience of Open Range was very enjoyable = quiet and intimate - just ideal for a date night !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- All around gem!OpenTable Diner Since 2013VIPDined on 7/26/2014We took our parents here after a play and thoroughly enjoyed the local artists' displays, and the "local" menu's variety - the ribs starter and pecan pie are a must-try. Great wine list, great food - we will be back. Parking is limited so plan to park a block or 2 away.Special Features:
- Great place for lunch or dinnerfivefingers68VIPDined on 7/25/2014We come to this place regularly, there are two sides of it, and we love both of them - big fish and open range. Great menu, friendly staff and wonderful environment!!!Special Features:
- Surprising little find!RuthieDined on 7/20/2014We had been given a gift certificate to "Open Range" and had no idea what to expect. What a fun surprise! Loved the decor and the service was awesome! A little on the pricey side but everyone's meal was excellent. Would recommend for a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- amazing service, good portionskideatzDined on 7/19/2014I found the food to be pretty good and the server was very knowledgeable in all the foods we had questions about.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First TimerFirstTimerDined on 7/19/2014Would definitely come again. Food was very good. Goat cheesecake is a definite must.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The best from the pastureJimcrescentheightsVIPDined on 7/14/2014Open Range is always great. The food is pretty heavy for summer, but it's so delicious you won't mind at all. The service is friendly and attentive without being annoying. The variety of meats served is outstanding, and the appetizers never fail to please.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/13/2014Lovely local ingredients prepared wonderfully. Fantastic service and a few interesting cocktails.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Open RangeTheMouthDined on 7/13/2014We had great service to start, our waiter was very knowledgeable. The casual country themed decor was great with beautiful furniture, and great paintings hanging all around, a very nice atmosphere to enjoy food with friends/family. My prime rib arrived perfectly prepared at medium rare with a side of fresh horseradish which was fantastic, and the fresh veggies they use are just amazing. I also had the goat cheese cheesecake, which was a nice treat. Next time, I'm gonna bring some wine drinkers because their wine list is very extensive and well thought out. Some people may have an issue with the price, but I checked Open Range against The Keg, and you would pay almost exactly the same there but not get near the quality of food or service.Special Features:
- Awesome RestaurantThisDudeLikesFoodDined on 7/8/2014I ate here the other day. We ordered the prime rib from the Stampede menu. There is a lot of flavour going on with this dish. I do it no justice in trying to describe it, but I can say that it was interesting/unique, and I mean that in the best possible way. I reserve 5 star ratings for places that truly excite/surprise me, and very very few places manage that (I can't even think of one in Calgary). The four stars I give could easily be someone else's five. Really, this is a very good restaurant. It's quaint, well staffed, and there are some nice paintings on the walls to look at. Would be an awesome date spot for a romantic night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OverpricedRockyDined on 7/7/2014My guests were very happy with their dinners but I was less so. My lamb shank was dark brown and it tasted burned. My mashed potatoes were purple, made with purple potatoes...perhaps not a good choice. On the other hand, one of my guests chose the porterhouse steak and he said it was cooked perfectly. The one who chose the New York steak said it was very tender and cooked the way he had asked. Also, I don't think we should have to pay for bread and it should be brought to the table automatically, not ordered.
- Great food amazing serviceslaner69Dined on 6/28/2014Shannon was our server and made our experience amazing! The food and drinks were worth every penny. My wife had the Duck and it was so delicious. I had the Porterhouse project so delicious. I recommend Open Range to anyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedTrevDined on 6/28/2014Have had many meals here - all great. Hope last time (June 28th) was just a blip on the radar. Beef tenderloins X 2 arrived with a burnt and bitter crust and were cooked medium to medium well but were ordered medium rare. On both plates the mushroom ragout held very few mushrooms and what was presented was inedible - too tough to cut through. One steak was sent back but after 10 minutes the new one arrived well done. Elk medallions were tasty but one had too much sinew to eat. One dish (the bison burger) was, as usual , great but yam fries were too soggy to eat. Although our server was apologetic and adjusted the bill there's no excusing the kitchen for this poor quality. We plan to return as previous meals were consistent and delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cowboy up!butterloverDined on 6/27/2014Service, food quality and variety, and fabulous drinks makes this place one of our favourites, especially when we are entertaining out-of-towners. We consistently leave full and happy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I'm having a bit of a problem with Lightroom 3 tonight, and I wonder if it's not due to my recent switch from Lion to Mountain Lion.
I can plug a memory card into the SD slot on my iMac. Lightroom recognizes it and shows me all the pictures on it. When I go to copy the files over and import them, though, I get this error message:
Anyone else have this problem? The solution might be to upgrade to LR4, but I'd rather not spend that nearly $100 right now…

Join 500,000+ Artists
Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
Hello all,
I'd really appreciate it if you folks could give me some input into improving the content of my website.
I've been a Senior Concept Artist for the past three years and due to the nature of the franchise, the artwork has been very 'niche'.
I'm hoping to eventually go into film concepts as well working on other styles of game, particularly fantasy.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks, Dan.

Hi Dan,
I looked around at your site and it's overall pretty good. You have a nice, userfriendly layout and a lot of different styles of work to show.
My one suggestion would be you go through your different portfolios and weed out all the weaker pieces. Some of your work really stands out from others, so let those rise and shine instead of blending in with your less strong pieces.
Also you say you'd like to work for the fantasy genre but I don't see many fantasy focused pieces, also something to add in if that's the path you want to take.
Hope that helps you. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your comments Hellcow, it's much appreciated! I better get more Fantasy pieces in there for sure. I'll definitely focus on thinning it out too.
Well I like the site. I like the way the name appears at the top. Are you using lightbox? Its working well.
A few things:
The light bug flying over the city at night in your comic section is HUGE.
Some of the images should probably be in different sections. Illustration is a very wide genre but, I dunno..I expected it to be more finished-looking images. Things which you might see on a book cover. The first image stickerbomb should definitely be in concept section.
Yeah definitely thin it out--you only need 10-12. Some might even say 8-12 good images.
Good site overall. I'm not really a fan of your art style, but the site is good. And man I know its hard getting a site to be right! lol I am trying to do the same. Good luck

Tom Hanks: Reincarnation is a 'bunch of baloney'
Tom Hanks thinks the idea of reincarnation is a ''bunch of baloney'' and he doesn't believe people have past lives, despite his new film 'Cloud Atlas' exploring the idea.
Tom Hanks thinks the idea of reincarnation is a ''bunch of baloney''.
The 56-year-old actor explores reincarnation in his new film 'Cloud Atlas' - which also stars Halle Berry and Ben Whishaw - and although he strives to live for the present, Tom doesn't believe in past lives affecting the a person's future.
He told the Metro newspaper: ''I think [past lives] is a bunch of baloney and malarkey. I'm known to be cranky in that way.
''Look, I believe in the importance of the right now and although I'm perfectly willing to envelop myself in the mystery of it all.
''As a layman who reads history, I can see that the human condition does not evolve until someone does the right thing, which is a version of saying, 'It's important the karma you put our right now because it's going to affect eternity.' ''
Tom - who has children Colin and Elizabeth with ex-wife Samantha Lewis, and sons Chester and Truman with current spouse Rita Wilson - is ''proud'' of his determination to get where he is today, which all began when he upped sticks from California and drove to New York to begin his career in 1979.
He said: ''Individual jobs come and go but the fact that I had the courage to do that is the thing I am most proud of.
''Most people would have been afraid to do that. I was about to have a kid, which I found out halfway across the country. But rather than listen to all the reasons why I shouldn't do it, I adhered to the one reason why I should; it's going to be fun.''

nifedipine (cont.)
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking nifedipine?
You should not use nifedipine if you are allergic to it.
If you have any of these other conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests:
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether nifedipine will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication..
Nifedipine can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How should I take nifedipine?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results.
Take the Adalat CC tablet on an empty stomach.
Do not crush, chew, or break an extended-release tablet. Swallow it whole. Breaking the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.
Some tablet forms of nifedipine are made with a shell that is not absorbed or melted in the body. Part of the tablet shell may appear in your stool. This is a normal side effect of nifedipine and will not make the medication less effective.
Call your doctor if you have ongoing vomiting or diarrhea, or if you are sweating more than usual. These conditions can lead to severely low blood pressure.
If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using nifedipine. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.
Do not stop taking nifedipine without first talking to your doctor, even if you feel fine. Stopping suddenly may make your condition worse. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.
Your blood pressure will need to be checked often and you may need other blood tests at your doctor's office. Visit your doctor regularly.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
Next Page:
(Page 2 of 3)
Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit the FDA MedWatch website or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

the orphans
They are scared. They are jealous.
We are pathetic. We are stars.
We are either sad and sickly or we are glamorous and new. We walk in and the choices race through my head. Sad and sickly? Or glamorous and new? Sad/sickly or glamorous/new? Sad/sickly? Glamorous/new?
We are unusual and tragic and alive.
We walk into the throng of parents and children.
We are disadvantaged but young and virile. We walk the halls and the playground, and we are taller, we radiate. We are orphans.

Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
Quiet waves of trepidation have rippled through the Linux community since Apple's very interesting announcement that they will move OS X to the Intel chip. Of course, not everyone is running scared. Many of the Linux faithful are brashly confident
that Linux will weather anything. But occasional voices are calling out in blogs, zines, and letters that we should be paying attention to this latest bite from Apple. When the story broke, some commentators speculated that Apple's move may not be as big as it sounded. Perhaps they would continue on in their tightly controlled hardware universe, with some form of specialized PPC-like processor made under license by Intel. If so, the situation would not be so different from what it is now.

Good Samaritans Pull Boy From Pond
News4jax: A man credited with reviving a child pulled from a car in a Westside pond Tuesday morning said the boy and his mother were breathing when they were taken to area hospitals.
Police said Shelell Freeman, 39, and an 8-year-old boy, whose name was not released, were in a Chevrolet Malibu that went into a retention pond next to a First Guarantee Bank on Youngerman Circle at Argyle Forest Boulevard about 8:40 a.m.
The woman was taken to Orange Park Medical Center and the boy to Shands-Jacksonville Medical Center. At mid-afternoon, both remained in critical condition.
Police told Channel 4's Jason Law was told that Freeman was in the drive-through ATM lane at the bank when she dropped something outside the car, opened her door and got out to retrieve it. When the car began moving forward, she jumped in to try and stop it, but hit the accelerator rather than the brake, officers said.
"Our drive-through teller saw the car go into the water," said Lynn Boston of First Guarantee Bank.
A witness told Channel 4's Jason Law that the driver was already out of the car when he got to the pond, but the child was under water for five to 10 minutes before he was found.
A witness stopped Thomas Southworth and asked if he could swim because there was a boy drowning in a pond.
"They said they were looking for the boy, so I jumped in right away." Southworth said.
Orvan Johns said he saw the car go into the water and ran to help. He said he also jumped into the water and opened the car door, but the child was not was inside, so he felt around with his hands and feet until he found the boy.
"We pulled him up on the bank and I gave him the CPR -- the mouth-to-mouth -- and he started spitting up a little water. And then we felt a little heartbeat and so I kept on and then he started spitting up more and he started breathing," Johns said. "I was just thankful the Lord gave me the the ability to do something like that."
A second witness said both the woman and child were alive when paramedics arrived.
"The pulses were faint, but they were breathing," Damien Pittmon said. "I was just praying to God he saved their life."
"I really didn't think he was going to make it, to be honest. But, luckily, once he started doing CPR, he came back," Southworth said. "All the things that go through your head -- you don't know the horrors that could have happened."
The police dive team searched the pond in case there were other victims, but officers said all the children in the family were accounted for.
Traffic homicide detectives were called to the scene since the injuries were life-threatening. While the investigation is in its preliminary stage, an officer said it did not appear the child was restrained by either a child safety seat or seat belt.

WOONSOCKET — Will the third bout in Reynaldo Rodriguez's comeback be the charm?
It's been more than seven years since Rodriguez experienced the thrill of victory, but the Woonsocket super middleweight will try to end that dry spell on Friday, July 29, when he appears on the undercard of Classic Entertainment & Sports, Inc.'s "Heat Wave" show at the Mohegan Sun Arena.
Rodriguez (5-2, 2 KOs) will contest Keith Kozlin (6-2, 4 KOs) of West Warwick in a six-round showdown that's sure to grab the attention of the Rhode Island fight fans that will make the short trek to the casino.
While most kids his age were down at the beach soaking up some rays the past two days, Jamison Randall was at Potowomut Country Club playing with some of the top amateur golfers in Rhode Island.
And, after a shaky opening start, the recent Cumberland High grad and individual state champion has manufactured a pair of solid rounds at the 106th annual R.I. Amateur Championship.
LINCOLN — On their way to posting undefeated records in pool play of the District IV Little League All Star Tournament, Cumberland American and Lincoln combined to outscore their opponents by an 87-12 margin.
After their respective semifinal games on Tuesday night at Hien Field, the two powerhouse teams kept their records unblemished.
But it wasn't quite that easy.
If you're not a baseball fan, stop here. It's time to talk baseball.
The All-Star break isn't just a respite for players. The short vacation gives baseball fans a few days off to think about the second half of the pennant race. That's what we fans do. Can't play so we sit around mulling schedules and statistics while the grass turns brown in our front yard.
In New England, when you mention pennant race, that can only mean one thing – Red Sox vs. the Yankees, with a little dose of the Tampa Bay Rays thrown in.
PAWTUCKET – Know those acceptance speeches an Oscar recipient gives upon being presented a solid gold statuette? The ones that begin with "I'd like to thank …"
Some speeches turn out sappy bordering on cringeworthy. Those falling in the melodramatic category tend to feature the winner crying to point where you can barely make out what's being said. Bottom line? It's about extolling credit where credit is due.
Some thoughts designed to close the books on the first half of the 2011 season for the Pawtucket Red Sox …
For the past several seasons the PawSox have sworn by a platoon situation at catcher.
"We run a 2-2 split," manager Arnie Beyeler explained. "They get their work, so that's what's important."
PAWTUCKET – The PawSox players and staff couldn't vacate the McCoy Stadium grounds fast enough Sunday evening.
After holding on for a 4-3 win against Buffalo, the PawSox put the unofficial first half (91 of 143 games) behind them and will use the next three days to regroup mentally. Baseball, a staple for all involved parties since the start of spring training in mid-February, plans take a back seat to vacation getaways and family reunions.
PAWTUCKET – The type of season Ryan Lavarnway is enjoying tends to open the door to possibilities down the road, one being a September call-up.
Right now Lavarnway prefers to let his bat do the talking. The power-hitting catching prospect went 3-for-4 with two home runs Sunday as the Pawtucket Red Sox ended the unofficial first half of the season with a 4-3 win against Buffalo.
BURRILLVILLE - Rick Finlayson, for 13 years the golf professional and general manager of the Country View Golf Club in Burrillville, offers a simple reason why throngs of players gravitate to his course.
"It's affordable, we have a friendly staff and it's a challenge for all types of players - beginners, intermediate and advanced players," he said.
Country View G.C., located on 49 Club Lane off Route 7, about a 25-minute drive from Providence, is a moderately-challenging Par 70 course that measures 6,067 yards from the back tees and 5,060 yards from the ladies' tees.
PROVIDENCE – A couple of family members, a cousin and even his coach graduated or are still attending Brown University.
Despite all those connections, David Kahn had never been to Providence until this weekend.
But the 27-year-old Long Island triathlete, a recent dental school graduate from the University of Pennsylvania, sure made his first visit to the capital city worthwhile on Sunday with a wire-to-wire victory at the fourth annual Amica Ironman 70.3 triathlon. Kahn finished the race – a 1.2-mile swim, a 56-mile bike and 13.1-mile run – with a time of 4 hours, 52 seconds.

The Problem with Games
Where are the young writers? Where are the young game developers?
According to some, Games are "the medium" of the 21st century. While I'm not even sure this could be close to being true even though I do love making predictions after two years of relative success. Staying power and longevity tend to be determined by the ability of a medium (and a community) to not only produce beautiful content, but to have a legion of young authors and producers challenging, reinterpreting and claiming the medium as a space where they can speak to issues they find important.
So where are the young writers? Where are the young game developers?
That's right, they're in the middle of nowhere, somewhere inside of a game company. It's ironic that an industry whose main goal was works of artistic merit would put their brightest talent in positions that basically restricted them from as much.
It is possible to be beautiful without being meaningful and to be meaningful without being beautiful. Some of the games released recently have been beautiful, truly. But to argue that games are meaningful is a tougher claim. They don't really do that much. They are fascinating explorations of the relationship between narrative and interactivity, which is fine, I suppose. But we often forget that understanding narrative isn't actually its own end, any more than masturbating is its own end. We understand narrative (as fun as it might be) so that we might make games to do such things to communicate something important.
Two games that are often held up as the hallmarks of excellent game design are The Last of Us and Bioshock: Infinite. Examples that games can in fact be redeemed.
As one author posts…
"Of course we know: Why save the species that killed your daughter? Why give up when there's a chance to play make-believe with a surrogate of the person you lost? The world can burn, the species can end, but at least you are redeemed – even if you have doomed everyone else."
But just like the actual game is that there is no real question, no actual pondering over what the meaning of it all is. Even the suffering becomes yet another element to merely be experienced, rather than interpreted.
You might ask, what does this have to do with youth? With young writers?
All of this goes as a way of saying that there is no counterpost to the overwhelmingly profit-based narrative of the game industry. Youth has its advantages that it does not have to cowtow to such desires, because it does not have the responsibilities and politics that come with age. Instead of developing tools that more easily help lone-individuals and tiny teams develop interactive narrative we are asking students to increasingly specialize, to increasingly only be useful within a narrowing set of specialties. (Twine is a notable exception)
If I had to argue for a medium of the 21st century, it would be the internet, as increasingly privatized as it is becoming, because it has further increased the level of sharing and challenging that can be done across cultures, across boundaries, by amateurs. Amateur musicians, writers, scholars, and directors can at the very least share their work, hoping for recognition, if not massive changes.
But in the game industry, we are still obsessed with platforms, still desperate to eke out the last dollar for the most profitable place. If games are tool dependent, then they aren't actually a creative medium. No writer would ever tell anyone that they only write for Amazon. They would say they write, and then release wherever they could (depending on whether or not they were aiming for profit, impact, personal choice, etc.).
Games are still an immature field, I suppose, the argument is that that is a somehow extenuating circumstance. But, at the very least, it feels telling that when talking about video games, the first thing people say, "I want to make millions!" and then perhaps some parting comment about "teaching" something. Games, at least within our current culture, are more prized for their ability to make money than for their ability to express, to communicate, or to feel. But perhaps that's more of a statement about our culture than it is about the medium.

Interesting Quote from the PBS Documentary on President Bill Clinton
While watching the second half of PBS's documentary on the Clinton years, this line popped a bit. Seems relevant to just about anyone in politics:
"You can never blame your enemies for doing what your enemies will predictably do.
You can only blame yourself for what you've given your enemies.
If you have given them absolutely nothing, guess what they're going to be able to do?
-Lawrence O'Donnell, from the American Experience documentary on Bill Clinton

Bulls' Rose limps off, to have MRI on right knee
Portland, OR (SportsNetwork.com) - Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose showed glimpses of his former MVP self on Friday against the Trail Blazers.
Unfortunately for Bulls fans, he also showed he's still not 100-percent healthy.
Late in the third quarter, Rose went backdoor looking for a bounce pass from Joakim Noah. The pass was picked off by Nicolas Batum and Rose stepped awkwardly trying to recover on defense, his right knee slightly hyperextending.
He appeared in pain as he limped to the sideline and was checked by team trainers on the bench for several minutes before being helped to the locker room.
Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau said after Chicago's 98-95 loss that he was concerned about Rose's health and said he would undergo an MRI on Saturday.
"He has pain and it felt like he couldn't push off his right knee," said Thibodeau, who balked at speculating any further on the extent of the injury.
Before exiting, Rose had tied his season-high with 20 points and added five rebounds and three assists.
Of course, Rose is trying to work his way back to form after missing all of last season following surgery on a torn ACL in his left knee. He was averaging 15.4 points and 4.4 assists per game coming in but was shooting just 36 percent from the floor.

About Us
Ah yes, the dreaded bio: do I really have to talk about myself in the third person?
RUSSELL BROWN, L.Ac., MTOM
After graduating from the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in journalism, I maintained a successful career in feature film development, working on such near-Academy Award-nominated films as The Fast and the Furious franchise, Not Another Teen Movie, and Cruel Intentions. (There were several lesser films, as well, that should be considered nothing less than crimes against humanity.)
I was really enjoying working in the film industry when one day at breakfast, I intentionally and shamelessly eavesdropped on the conversation at the table next to me where a woman was talking about acupuncture. Having never experienced it myself or even really thought about it, something in me sparked.
A door opened, and I knew I was being prompted to re-prioritize my life and dedicate myself to the betterment of others. If I had time to think about it, or do a pros and cons list, I never would have made the jump, but as it is, I enrolled at Emperor's College of Traditional Chinese Medicine the next day and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Master's Degree in TCM four years later, and certified by the California State Board of Acupuncture shortly thereafter.
I have a fairly different attitude about this medicine than a lot of my peers. I'm not a hippie and never was. I'm a regular guy who was born and raised here in L.A. I have crow tattoos because I'm a "hipster cliche," NOT because I'm a "pseudo-spiritualist." I don't own billowy yoga pants or lavender crystals and I've never heard a Caucasian person use the words "Namaste" or "Love and Light" in a way that doesn't sound completely deranged. That said, I think this medicine is absolutely amazing, and is grounded in a lot more science than the woo-woo hippie-ness, faux-asian zen-ness, or strip-mall sketchiness that would personally make me uncomfortable as a patient.
I believe pain and disease are not simply an inconvenience but rather information: our body's only way of telling our brain that we're doing something it doesn't like. Your discomfort is your body calling for help, and just taking a pill or injection to silence that call does not necessarily service you. I spent years eating lunch at my desk while working and having dinner after 9pm on-the-go, wondering why my stomach was a mess and my bowels were totally erratic.
Now I know that health and wellness are about education, slowing down our busy lives to pay attention to what's happening, having compassion for ourselves -instead of the constant rut of beating ourselves up- and a bit of sense of humor about the whole thing, and not just sentencing our lives to pharmaceutical addictions and kowtowing to what insurance companies think is best.
I'm generally a little cynical and have a pretty grounded world-view, but I've seen acupuncture work, time and time again, and I love to be able to bring that miracle to people like myself.
Acupuncturists don't typically "specialize" in schooling like western doctors but the areas I've had the most experience and enjoy treating are pain conditions, sports injury, stress-related conditions and emotional disorders.

Keep Smiling With This Company's Strong Growth Prospects
Lee is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Sirona Dental Systems (NASDAQ: SIRO) delivered another set of results that got investors smiling. I'm a fan of this company and its long term prospects and am somewhat puzzled as to why it doesn't get more media attention. Its long term growth drivers are an attractive mix of favorable demographics (more old people plus more teeth per person means more restorations) and secular growth from proprietary technological change with is CEREC CAD/CAM system which ensures same day restorations. Plenty more growth to come here.
Sirona's Q4 Results
Investors can be forgiven for thinking that management is too cautious with guidance. Going into the start of its reporting year it had mentioned that it saw some weakness in its end markets. This caused constant currency revenue guidance to be indicated at 6-8% for the full year. This was then indicated towards the upper end of that range and then, as I wrote in an article in August, it was then raised to 8-10%. In the end it came in at 12.6%, so it seems things got progressively better as the year went on.
I have three observations to make on the surprise growth in Q4.
First, Q4 benefitted from the extension of its exclusive distributor relationship with Patterson Companies (NASDAQ: PDCO) in the US. I've discussed Patterson in an article linked here amidst noting how bullish it was about prospects for selling Sirona's hardware. Patterson gives earnings soon and they will be worth looking out for to see if it has managed to increase sales in its higher margin products. My point is that it looks like there could have been some pull forward in revenues as non-Patterson clients might have accelerated orders in the quarter.
Incidentally, while Patterson handles the US, Henry Schein (NASDAQ: HSIC) is its main European distributor. The latter caused some concerns when it gave less than stellar results in its dental business recently but Sirona doesn't seem to have been affected.
Second, none of this growth includes significant contributions from the new Omnicam or the intraoral sensor Schick 33. Hopefully the interest shown in the products will result in strong adoption and sales in the coming quarters. I get the sense that this could provide some upside to guidance.
Third, there is an interesting dichotomy here. Sales in the CAD/CAM segment for the year (up 13.9% in constant currency) were described as strong globally but particularly good in the US while the strongest growth for the year was reported in Treatment Centers (up 15.1% in constant currency) driven by non-European international markets and Germany. Imaging Systems growth was less strong at 11.5% in constant currency but this is largely due to tough comparisons against strong growth in Germany the previous year.
Growth Prospects?
I want to develop some points from my third observation above. I think the CEREC CAD/CAM system will see its strongest growth in developed markets and investors shouldn't expect too much too soon internationally. The basis of the argument for a dentist to buy a CEREC is that -although the ticket price is $100-120k for a system- it should generate good return on investment provided X amount of restorations at a price of Y are made. However the 'X' and 'Y' numbers are highly likely to be much higher in the US/Germany than they are in other parts of the world. Investors shouldn't assume equal rates of adoption.
However growth will surely come from an increase in penetration rates in the US where Patterson argued that the CEREC system only has 10% penetration in the US and this figure will be in low single digits worldwide for Sirona. In other words multi-year growth looks likely. I would have appreciated some more color in the commentary of growth via CEREC connect (a system that allows less active practices to tap into the system for a lower initial cost) because I think this will be a key driver in non-developed markets.
Imaging systems too look set for good growth. Sirona's model involves selling an imaging system into a practice and then in time expanding sales of other sensors into the installed customer base. This year saw some tough comparisons with product launches (the XG-3D product) last year but going forward Sirona expects good growth.
As for Treatment Centers, investors should understand that revenues here are largely immune from reimbursement issues and tend to be tailored towards the high end patient. In other words, they are less economically and politically sensitive than most other parts of healthcare.
Putting these points together makes an interesting comparison with another company in the sector such as Align Technology (NASDAQ: ALGN) whose Invisalign braces are seen as largely offering a cosmetic benefit. Sirona's benefits are tangible from a cost perspective and also involve a clear technological edge. Therefore I think its solutions offer the safest and most secular growth prospects in the industry. Its revenues are likely to be much less exposed to cyclical movements in discretionary spending than Align's would.
Where Next For Sirona?
For 2013 Sirona is guiding towards 9-11% revenue growth in constant currency and 10-13% growth in non-GAAP adjusted EPS. All of which is fine but does leave the evaluation looking a bit stretched on a current EV/EBITDA of 14.2x. I'm a great believer that article writers should disclose positions and performance and I won't hesitate to say that Sirona hit my price target before these results came out.
On that basis it is hard for me to argue that the stock looks cheap. I think it will have to carry on beating estimates to see a significant re-rating. Nevertheless it is a great company and investors will be well advised to keep it on the monitor list and watch developments closely. I know I will.

Soul x Maka - FanFic - TeaTea"It's so hot. I'm sweating like a pig." Complained Soul as he made a measly attempt to fan himself.He heaved a weary sigh to himself before wondering to the kitchen in search of a soothing beverage."Being hot and bothered is so uncool." He mumbled while scouring the fridge.Sadly, all he could find was Peach Juice."This stuff is disgusting!" He groaned, "How could Maka possibly like this?"He carelessly flung it back within the cold abyss of the fridge in annoyance."Well, Maka is always telling me that hot drinks cool you down better than cold drinks." He said, shrugging as he spoke, "She said it was something to do with

I forgot."Soul never remembered much of what Maka said. She spoke in such an intelligent manner. Too intelligent for Soul. He only ever really remembers her admitting her love for him. Soul smiled a toothy smile at the sweet memories.He shuffled lazily over to the kettle and clicked the button that boils the water."Maybe I shou
SoulxMaka FanFic - Swept AwaySwept AwayThe fragrant smell of bacon and eggs wafted throughout the small apartment. Maka was, as usual, up and about much earlier than the second tenant that thrived alongside her within the household. She shifted the bacon around the pan as it sizzled furiously. She recoiled as some of the bacon grease spat at her, as if it was annoyed at the fact that it was being cooked. Maka pouted and her blonde, wispy hair flew around her head in a snake-like manner."If you weren't already a dead piece of meat, I would have throttled you by now!" She huffed.Her apple green eyes grew wide with fear and she briskly flung round to scan her surroundings.A few books that she had previously been browsing through formed a small pile upon the red, leather sofa. Some towels had been lazily flung by the bathroom door; no doubt it was the work of Blair after her daily shower. The kitchen was cluttered with utensils that Maka had been using to make breakfast on that bright morning, and the table was ne
Soul x Maka - FanFic - PoetryPoetry"Eh? What's this?" Asked Soul, picking up a piece of paper that had been left on the cluttered kitchen counter."D-Don't read that!" Yelped Maka.She made a desperate attempt to snatch the paper out of Soul's grasp. Soul used his height as an advantage and lifted the paper out of Maka's reach."C'mon, Soul! This isn't cool!" Whimpered Maka."What's not cool is not sharing this with your partner." Replied Soul, Smirking, "Sharing is caring.""Well maybe I don't care!" Huffed Maka."Ouch! You hurt me right here." Laughed Soul, playfully clutching his chest as if in agony."Don't mock me!" Maka growled, stomping her foot in annoyance.No matter how mature Maka acted, she always had her childish moments."Alright, I won't mock you." Chuckled Soul, "Instead, I'll read this."Soul did his best to hold in his laughter, but failed miserably."What's so FUNNY?" Asked Maka in a threatening tone."T-This is!" Soul replied while in the midst of laughter."It's a heartfelt poem." Explained M
Soul x Maka - FanFic - PockyPockyAll was quiet within the small apartment. The only sound interrupting the silence was the content purring of Blair as she dreamt sweet dreams in the midst of her slumber. Soul was asleep on this glorious afternoon as well. It was a peaceful scene. That is, until the front door banged open."I can't STAND that repulsive man!" Roared Maka.Her blonde hair streaked behind her, as if it was trying to keep up with her angry strides. Maka violently slammed the door, almost knocking it off of its hinges. Blair stirred in her sleep."Maka, is that you?" She yawned, getting up and stretching her feline body."Yeah. I'm home, Blair." Sighed Maka, a hint of agitation in her breath."Did your day out with your papa go well?"Maka pulled the same face that you would pull after meeting Excalibur."Um
not so well then?" Chuckled Blair, awkwardly."He spent the whole day being a womaniser." Groaned Maka, "Trying to draw in new prey by pretending that he was a lonely, single parent that was
Soul x Maka - FanFic - Feed MeFeed MeThe cicadas buzzed endlessly within the heat of summer. A boy with snowy white hair and teeth that resembled that of a sharks stood by the shade of the local convenience store; his hands behind his head and his legs crossed. His crimson eyes gazed lazily at the people passing by. He had the sort of stare that made one unsure of whether he was really interested in what he was viewing. He was as motionless as an undisturbed pool of water. That is, until a pretty young girl came briskly bounding out of the glass convenience store doors.The girls' wispy, blonde hair whipped her back as she bounded, as if it was a jockey urging on the majestic horse. Her skin was rather pale, but that further illuminated her apple green eyes that gleamed brilliantly and shimmered as they reflected against the blasting sunlight. She had what seemed to be an impossibly wide smile playing about her slim face. The smile grew unbelievably wider as she sighted the boy. He grinned in reply, kicking himsel
Soul x Maka FanFic - The EndThe EndAs usual, the aromatic scent of Bacon and Eggs was wafting throughout the small apartment in which Soul and Maka dwelled. Maka was up early and making breakfast like she always did."All right, breakfast is done." Maka sighed in relief as she slid the contents of the frying pan onto the empty plates. Plates now filled, Maka chucked the frying pan into the washing up bowl and proceeded to Soul's room to wake him.Maka opened the door silently, trying her best not to wake Soul just yet. She always enjoyed seeing his sleeping face since it made him look so peaceful and carefree. His sleeping face was not constantly making an effort to look cool, nor was it back mouthing her in a way that was not at all charming. No, this face portrayed a solemn face with hidden intelligence and understanding beyond thought. Of course Maka loved Soul's face no matter how it looked, but she did enjoy seeing both sides of his face. Sadly, this is not what Maka saw when she opened the door that mornin
Soul x Maka FanFic - EpilogueEpilogue"I'm an idiot." Maka sighed, curling up tighter and tighter into a ball with every passing minute."Oh, Maka," Tsubaki chuckled lightly, trying to lighten the atmosphere, "You're not an idiot! You're just
just, uh
""Yes I am." Maka insisted, looking up at Tsubaki from her curled ball position of safety, "Idiot: Noun. Informal. An utterly foolish or senseless person." She huddled back up after stating the evidence of her "utter foolishness" and "senselessness".Tsubaki exhaled as she gathered the plates from the table, "Well, somebody swallowed a dictionary." Tsubaki went to join Maka in the corner of the room after gathering the plates, straightening out the creases in her skirt as she stooped down to sit beside the depressed teenager on the floor, "Listen, we all make mistakes; it's just a part of human behaviour. At least now you realise your mistake, and you can just-""No!" Yelled Maka, "I can't "just" anything!" she took a moment to wipe the rising tears from h
Soul Eater FanFic - Going OutGoing OutSoul fanned himself with a measly piece of paper whilst waiting for Maka to finish getting ready. It was summer, the season that irritated Soul due to the fact that it was hot, and also, if he so much as glanced at another girl that was wearing a crop top and a flashy short skirt, then Maka would kill him."Why do girls have to take so damn long?" He groaned, "MAKA! YOU DONE YET?!""DON'T RUSH ME! I STRUGGLE UNDER PRESSURE!" Maka yelped in reply.Soul let out a frustrated sigh before getting up and walking to the window. He put his hands in his jean pockets and looked out across Death City and the pure gloominess of it all. Despite the fact that it was summer, it was still incredibly dark out there. One tall, dark building overshadowed another, which overshadowed a building smaller than itself, which overshadowed a building that was even smaller than that one."The designers did not consider this consequence. Sure, we can ensure a high population, but a low amount of sunlight
BSxT FanFic - EmbarrassmentEmbarrassment"First rule of the assassin." Breathed the young boy, "Be covered in shadow and stay your breath
lie in wait for your target to let down its guard."He crept further down the dark corridor, sticking close to the wooden walls. He did his best to disguise his rushed breath as he crept closer and closer to the bathroom."Second rule of the assassin. Be in sync with your target
anticipate its thoughts and actions."He was very close to the bathroom now. He reached his hand out to touch the doorframe. Just to reassure himself that he was nearly there."Third rule of the assassin. Defeat your target before it becomes aware of your presence."He peered around the doorframe, his eyes swivelling around insanely as he did so, searching. His eyes stopped swivelling suddenly as they locked onto his target. His pupils grew wide and he could feel a nosebleed occurring."YO-HOOOOO!" He screamed, staring at the young girl in the bath all the while."If you want to be a pervert,
Soul Maka: FluffHe never knew she could be so cute.He never would have though that serious, strict, abusive angry Maka could have such a soft, sweet side.Pfft, I'll never think that again, Soul thought as he wrapped his arms a little tighter around his meister, blushing a bit when he heard the tiniest of squeaks come from her throat.Damnit! Why is she being so girly? This was not cool. But at the same time he really didn't care.He was currently under his meister, wedged in between her and their trusty sofa. She was in her signature yellow vest and plaid red skirt, her combat boots layed beside the sofa on the floor, having been already kicked off.It started out with her head on his shoulder as they watched some old rerun of a sitcom from the 90's. It was right after school and the afternoon heat was getting to them, making them drowsier and drowsier by the moment.When he had layed down on his back, head laying on the arm rest, he had not expected Maka to lean down with him. He coul
Soul x Maka Fanfic7 Minutes of Heaven"OMIGOSH! YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE SUPER FUNTASTIC?!?" Patty giggled excitedly as everyone turned to look at her. "A SLEEPOVER!!! HAHAHA!"Oh boy
"Hey, that's a great idea, Patty!" Liz told her."It could be fun

"Another great idea!" Liz exclaimed."Good idea," Tsubaki added.Maka huffed."What's the matter, Maka? Scared of playing Truth or Dare?" Liz asked as she nudged her as Patty giggled even louder."NO! I'm not scared of a little game!" Maka said, frustrated."Alright then. How does Friday night sound?" Liz asked."Sounds AMAZINGGGG!" Patty giggled."Sure!" Tsubaki said.Maka huffed again."Oh, but wait! "Where are we gonna have it at?" Tsubaki asked."Hmmm

Maka thought, remembering her previous mission from that day. She and Soul had been fighting an enemy and just before they killed it it put some kind of binding spell on them, almost like handcuffs, though you could only see it when Soul and Maka tried to walk away from each other. The handcuffs wouldn't allow their hands more than 5 inches apart.Maka tried pulling her hand away again, making a white string that was attached to both of their wrist visible for as long as she pulled, which wasn't long since she knew it was useless. Maka turned to Soul then who seemed to be in deep though. When Soul caught her eye he smiled."Come on Maka, this isn't so bad. It's kinda cool," he told her, making her heart start to beat so much she feared it might stop. Sh
4.Soul and Maka, Not ThatSoul and Maka. The young meister sat, curled on the red loveseat, a thick, hard bound book in her lap. Her green eyes skimmed over the words half-heartedly. She wasn't paying much attention to which character did what, her mind was focused elsewhere.Soul Eater sat, not far, on the arm of the second couch, his crimson eyes glued to the television. He thumb clicked repeatedly on the remote buttons, switching channels faster than he could blink. Maka smirked, he could never make up his mind.Soul's gaze flickered to her. He felt a small grin tug at his own lips, "That book must be hilarious," He commented.Her smile faded, "Hmm, what?" She asked, bluffing obliviousness. She looked up at Soul, turning to the next page.Soul looked as he always did; his hair perfectly tousled, sporting an oddly colored hair band. His half lidded, scarlet eyes glittered, well, coolly. He slouched atop the couch arm, a wide, shark like grin now plastered on his face. His Soul radiated a calm, coolness, that
SoMa Fanfic - Nothing To Do"Everyone's gone, Maka.""Huh?""Yeah. We'll be all alone.""A-Alone?""Yeah. Alone."Maka glared at Soul with a surprised, scared, and a slightly nervous look. He had just walked into the room and took his seat next to her on the couch."Who's gone?""Tsubaki, BlackStar, Kid, Liz, Patty, and even Blaire. They all left," he said coolly, not looking into her eyes but down at his feet."What?
And where?" Maka asked, her nerves creeping up as she began to take it all in."All left on missions. And Blaire went to some hot spring. I don't know where or for how long. Only that we're alone," he said, as if it was an everyday occurrence. Maka made herself not look at him; she, too, stared down at her feet as she clenched her hands, making her nails dig into her palms.Alone?
What is he implying?
Or is he implying anything at all?
Or is he?
Would Soul really?

Maka called.It wasn't unusual for Soul to get up late, but today seemed to be stretching it a bit.Maka waited a bit for a response, when she got none she groaned and quickly finished her orange juice. She tossed her dishes in the sink and went to Soul's door and knocked."Soul? Helllooooo?" Maka called and when she got no response she knocked louder. Maka sighed and said, "Soul, I'm coming in," and brushed some hair out of her face before opening the door. "Soul?" she asked quietly as she peeked into the room. She stepped in and the first thing that caught her attention were the items scattered all over the ground; his clothes. She shook her head slightly.Doesn't he ever pick up his room?She walked over to his bed then, quietly and nervously watching and Soul tossed and turned in his bed- making strange noises ever now end then. Maka raised an eyebrow."Soul

"I heard you talking to someone.""No, just myself..." I sighed and leaned back into my chair. "Dammit..."The olive-eyed girl sauntered over, curiosity filling her heart. "What's up? You having trouble with homework?"Before she could take a peek at it, I tore it away from her view. "It's nothing. You can go now. Poking around isn't cool."She grunted and glared at me. "Fine then." Her finger formed into a shape which released a flick upon my earlobe. "I was just trying to help
Sick DaysSoul drowsily opened his eyes and looked at the clock. It was early afternoon. Sunlight shone through his window angled straight at his bed. He groaned and tried to block it out.His head was killing him and he felt dizzy and tired. He had no idea where Maka was, but vaguely recalled her telling him she was going shopping with Tsubaki.He shook his head. He would never understand girls and shopping. Soul was the only one who saw her real clothes. He didn't understand why she bought so much of something no one ever saw.Groaning, he rolled out of bed and clutched a chair while he waited for the world to stop spinning. It didn't. He stumbled through the hallway and into the kitchen and poured a glass of water. Remembering Maka's advice from last time he was sick, he sipped the water a little at a time. His throat still felt dry.He leaned on the counter for a moment and realized he had nothing to do. He didn't feel like going anywhere, he didn't want to talk to anyone, and he certainly d

Stubbornly, he crossed his arms and let a deep, angry sigh drone out. Crona and Blair were gone. You see, Crona was still wearing a dress and Blair wanted to help him find some more "manly" clothes.Soul slightly smirked at the thought. He had constantly offered Crona some of his own clothes, but he denied them each time, saying he wouldn't know how to deal
SoulxMaka FF - Valentines DayValentines DaySoul peered through the crack in Maka's bedroom door. There was no sign of movement and the only sound emitting from Maka was her breathing. Soul grinned widely."Alright. Now I can start my plan."Soul tiptoed towards the kitchen slowly. Every time a floorboard creaked under his feet he would stiffen up and hold his agitated breath. He would listen intently for any signs of conscious life; his eyes swivelling insanely around the room. Only when he heard Maka mumbling something about Pocky in her dreams would he finally allow himself to exhale and loosen his rigid muscles. Then he would begin prowling towards the kitchen once more. As he approached his destination, Soul hoped there would be a sufficient amount of ingredients.
