Hmmmmm Reading the whole topic made me a litte confused on the Hanekawa character, so many different interpretations.
Spoiler for Bakemonogatari, Episode 15:
Quite confusing ><
Still I'm feeling sad she would not stay with him in the end (or at least seem so).
Sry for the bad english, long time I dont write something this long ><

I do feel some sympathy for Tsubasa considering how it all went down. There seemed to be a lot of time for things to work out with Koyomi. Instead Hitagi arrived on the scene fast and went for it. Unfortunately that kind of thing happens (minus the oddities...). I'm sure she'll be fine in the end. Hope things go well for her since it's been a rough streak with that home life and then romance troubles.

At least I gave her that she is cool and awesome. And I can agree with the me who made that post nearly two years ago that girls that keep to themselves wouldn't succeed in love (or most anything) in life. But holy damn I can't believe how cruel I sound.
Anyway, with the passage of time and reading up more etc., Hanekawa Tsubasa has definitely won my heart. At least a heck lot more than the "main girl".
I really hope she gets over Koyomi somehow. I don't see Koyomi dropping his relationship with Hitagi for her, even if he does love her (more). I don't know how else to resolve her situation but time heals everything and if she does indeed go on a tour of the world, she might just find the freedom she desperately longs for.

It's been noted several times in the series that Tsubasa is a better match for Koyomi than Hitagi is. If she was a little more honest with herself, she would be dating him before Hitagi ever came into the picture.

sadly, to me, it looked like she was trying to drag/push koyomi on her level to don't make him feel inferior/inadequate for her, but that would take so much time..
he's that kind of inferiority complex toward hanekawa, which got in the way of their relationship limiting it to only friendly admiration on koyomi's part
it would be good just seeing it paying off in some way..

Ah, Hane-chan~, so much to say but too few words to actually get the entire meaning across. :P So if I end a particular aspect/section too early, it's because I wanted to get to the next point before I forget what I wanted to say about it.
On the surface, she was the living embodiment of the "too good to be true" statement. Everyone it seems has nothing but good to say about her - and really, just glancing at the outward, one would be hard-pressed to dislike Hanekawa for anything. In fact, she could be called a saint. But of course, she had a 'perfect' fascade. Turns out she was inherently flawed in that she even thought to put out such a fascade as a coping mechanisim in the first place. While it is admirable that she would act like a 'perfect daughter' and that they would accept her if she did that, she shouldn't have had to do it. Even if she acted like a b*tch even a part of the time, that would be the most normal reaction most teenagers would give, especially to those so-called 'parents' of hers. Just thinking about them makes me want to bash their heads in front of her.
She didn't let herself be who she really was in front of Araragi. With Senjougahara, she knew herself that she was flawed, she told Araragi flat out that she was flawed and that she really had no clue as to what she's doing, but she still took a chance, despite being flawed and having it known. Going over some of the material, I didn't get that with Hanekawa at all. It's as if she only dropped hints now and again to Araragi that things weren't perfect with her, but her fascade was so convincing that Araragi didn't pick up on it at all, nor did anyone else for that matter.
Hnn, I gotta quit here since my niece is trying to mess me up as I type in a bid for attention.... ><....

The later novel material made it clear that Hanekawa lost multiple friendships when she revealed part of her real lifestyle, one after another. So she deliberately hides her troubles in the present day because she had repeated experience of former friends running away from her really fast as soon as they heard the truth.
It just made sense to lie after that. It doesn't make it right, but it made sense.

"You don't have a room?"
"That's creepy..."
"We don't hang out with creepy girls."
The things that kids can do sometimes... Hanekawa's situation is such a failure on multiple levels, including friendship and community. Nosy people are disliked, yeah but apathetic people are worse, at least in my book. This probably falls back onto differences in cultural mindset since it's very looked down upon to be nosy in this individualistic day and age. While it is true, what someone does is their own business, once their choices start affecting others, it is no longer just 'their business'.
In America, Child Services would have a GOLDEN WEEK of their own with this case... Hell, from the way they acted, Hanekawa could have moved in with someone else entirely and they would have not cared for the first week or so.

But obviously when it gets to the stage when she wishes people physical harm, things go bad. People who need help, rarely ask. But if they don't ask, they rarely get any help.

"Hey, Hanekawa. Can we come over today?"
"But I don't have a room..."
Then there is this awkward atmosphere, and then it becomes increasing uncomfortable to talk to her everyday until you no longer talk to her at all. This is high school. Friendships can be shallow.
Hanekawa does not see her parents as a problem. Remember when she defended her parents for hitting her in front of Araragi?

Holy Spirit, Batman! Superhero Story on Vatican Website Not a Hack
Mar 22, 2013 8:37 AM PT
No, this isn't the Catholic Church's way of appealing to comic book fans.
On Thursday, the website of the Vatican communications office and Vatican Twitter account ran stories on Batman. While some initially suspected hacking, Vatican officials are instead saying that there was an "internal system failure" caused by a non-native English speaker -- and apparent Batman enthusiast -- who posted the story.
Running under the headline, "Holy Switcheroo! Batman has grown bitter, more vengeful with the years," the article was from the Catholic News Service and chronicled the history of the Batman franchise.
This is particularly offbeat for the Vatican's website, whose other Thursday stories included an explanation on how Pope Francis chose his name, and information about registering for a congress on the media's role in promoting peace.
A Vatican spokesman said that the social communications office regularly plucks stories from the Catholic News Service, which is the news agency of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. When a story is posted, it generates an automatic tweet, which is why both the Twitter account and website were pushing a story about Batman. At first, the spokesman thought it was hacking-related.

BBC Twitter Account Hacked by "Syrian Electric Army"
A group calling itself the Syrian Electric Army hacked a handful of BBC Twitter accounts on Thursday.
The BBC's weather and Arabic accounts were among the many that were hacked and then filled with drivel, including fake weather conditions in the Middle East and tweets such as, "Saudi weather station down due to head-on collision with camel," and, "Chaotic weather forecast for Lebanon as the government decides to distance itself from the Milky Way."
The BBC has since regained control of the accounts and deleted the bunk tweets.
The hacks coincided with a phishing email that was sent to some BBC staff, although it's not known if the email was the wormhole into the Twitter accounts.
The BBC hack was the latest in an ongoing string of high-profile Twitter hijacks, which include breaches of the Burger King and Chrysler accounts, among others.

Amazon Takes (More) Flak Over UK Taxes
Having already been thoroughly and repeatedly grilled by UK lawmakers for tax avoidance, Amazon is now dealing with a petition nearing 100,000 signatures.
The petition, which sprouted at change.org, was launched by independent booksellers and is imploring Amazon to "pay their fair share" of UK taxes.
The booksellers, Frances and Keith Smith, reportedly plan to present their petition to the government accompanied by supporters.
Amazon has not been found guilty of breaking any laws -- just of clever accounting. Last October, for instance, there was an uproar over the fact that Amazon charged British publishers a 20 percent value added tax on e-book sales. However, Amazon's European headquarters is in tax-friendly Luxembourg, which has a VAT of just 3 percent. Ergo, Amazon collects far more VAT than it pays.

Hong Kong Takes Data Underground
To alleviate its space crunch, Hong Kong is considering building data centers in underground caves.
A "rock cavern development" is something the government is discussing, a spokesperson said Thursday, but added that it is difficult for a variety of reasons, including the possible necessity of lowering water tables and removing toxic materials.
Five large areas have reportedly already been selected as possible "strategic cavern areas."
Norway has an underground data center, as does Kansas City.

Banter, toasted sandwiches keep spirits high among Flight 370 searchers
PERTH, Australia – After more than four hours flying over the vast, featureless Indian Ocean, the quick-fire banter of a New Zealand crew searching for signs of Flight 370 turns philosophical.
"One of my biggest phobias," says one of the crew over the headset communication system, "is treading water in the middle of the ocean."
There's a pause after that, then a lively discussion about how long it's possible to survive at sea.
The air force crew, who fly a P-3 Orion turboprop, have been searching for over a week now as part of an international effort to unravel the mystery of the Malaysia Airlines plane that vanished four weeks ago. Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott on Thursday described it as the most difficult search operation ever.
The 12 New Zealanders have the discipline and teamwork that comes with military life, not to mention a slogan: "ready, resilient, respected." But they also have a kind of folksiness borne of being a small squadron in a tiny air force.
They've developed a reputation around Pearce, the base near Perth where the search planes fly from, as being fun, relaxed and responsible for serving up terrific inflight food. That includes freshly roasted meat and sandwiches they toast in two frying pans.
The Orion is nearly 50 years old, although it has been updated many times. Still, it's nothing like a passenger plane and is filled with rattles and a constant noise that make the headsets necessary.
Their mission can be frustrating at times. The crew doesn't know exactly what they are looking for, or where they might find it. Most days they've spotted objects out in the blue expanse, but so far they've turned out to be nothing more than tangled fishing nets or other ocean junk.
"This is the reality of search and rescue and we are used to it," Flight Lt. Stephen Graham, the tactical coordinator, said Friday. "You just search and search and search. The only way to do it is to start at the most likely place and go from there."
While there are high-tech cameras on board, it's the crew's eyes that are most useful in scanning the horizon. Peering out the windows of the plane, they flick their eyes from whitecap to whitecap and regularly change positions to keep alert. They also continue the headset banter:
"What do you call eye muscles?" asks one.
"Ocular," comes the response.
"My ocular muscles are getting a real workout."
"It's a matter of resilience," someone else chimes in, echoing their slogan.
"I'll keep looking till my eyes fall out," comes the response.
The banter evaporates when one of the crew spots a green object floating just below the surface. It's similar in size to a surfboard. Others spot more green objects, perhaps a half dozen in all. But as the plane doubles back again and again, circling for 40 minutes, the objects prove maddeningly elusive.
Finally, Sgt. Sean Donaldson is able to get a photo of one of the objects out of a window that's specially designed to produce undistorted images. Then he fires from the plane a canister that belches smoke.
As the plane takes another pass, tracking the smoke, two crew members latch themselves to the interior of the plane. They pull open the port door and throw a marker buoy overboard, shutting the door tight again in a well-rehearsed maneuver. The idea is that a ship can later use the buoy to locate and identify the object.
The crew look at the photos on a monitor. Probably nothing more than a fishing net, says Donaldson, though it will be up to the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, which is coordinating the search, to determine that for sure.
"I guess it's getting a little frustrating, although we are getting regular updates of information from AMSA," said Flight Lt. Pete Jackson. "And I suppose that gives me renewed confidence there's something in this new area to find."
The intense mood lightens as the plane begins its three-hour return trip to Pearce, the search over for another day. There are hot meals, stretching, more banter. It's a long day — anywhere from 14 to 18 hours after the preflight and post flight rituals are complete.
"You think about a lot of things when you're on a five-hour visual search," says Wing Cmdr. Rob Shearer, the captain. "Inevitably, your mind does go back to how what you are doing affects the families. It's moved from the imperative of saving lives initially to now the imperative of finding something so that we can solve the mystery and provide closure to these families and the rest of the people who are interested in this mystery."
After Shearer lands the plane, he taxis through something similar to a giant car wash. They call it the birdbath. Jets of water blast the underside, cleansing it of the salty spray of the Indian Ocean.

Given the embarrassment of some early Christian traditions that Jesus accepted baptism from one of lower status than himself, it is now inconceivable that early Christians made up the story of John baptizing Jesus (E. Sanders 1985:11; 1993:94; Meier 1994:100-105; pace Bultmann 1968:251).
Although Jesus alone did not need John's baptism-he was the giver of the true baptism (3:11)-he submitted to it to fulfill God's plan (3:14-15). In a traditional Mediterranean culture where society stressed honor and shame (Malina 1993), Jesus relinquishes his rightful honor to embrace others' shame. After Jesus' public act of humility, God publicly honors Jesus as his own Son (3:16-17; compare 2:15)-that is, as the mightier One whose coming to bestow the Spirit John had prophesied (3:11-12).
John Recognizes Jesus as the Ultimate Baptizer (3:14)
Why would the fire-baptizer seek baptism like an ordinary mortal? Whereas John recognizes Jesus' superiority, Jesus humbly identifies himself with John's mission: It is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness (Meier 1980:26-27). Although John undoubtedly recognized the Spirit's empowerment in his own ministry (Lk 1:15-17), he recognized that Jesus had come to bestow the Spirit in fuller measure than even he as a prophet had received, and he desired this baptism (Mt 3:11; compare 11:11-13).
Various schools of thought today dispute exactly what the New Testament writers meant by Spirit baptism; some think the term refers to conversion only, and others only to a subsequent experience. It may be that John applied the expression to the entire sphere of the Spirit's work in our lives, including both conversion and subsequent experiences of empowerment (see Keener 1996:17-78), in which case both main schools of thought would be correct. But regardless of our view about the specific meaning of his language, most of us fail to grasp the power God has provided us. If Jesus has bestowed on us even more spiritual power than he bestowed on John and the Old Testament prophets, today's church should be trusting God for a much deeper empowerment in our life and witness than most of us currently experience.
Jesus "Fulfills All Righteousness" by Identifying with His People (3:15)
As noted above, on behalf of others Jesus voluntarily accepted a lower status than he deserved. Since "fulfilling righteousness" elsewhere in Matthew may pertain to obeying the principles of the law (5:17, 20; compare, for example, Sib. Or. 3.246), Jesus presumably here expresses his obedience to God's plan revealed in the Scriptures. But Jesus sometimes also fulfilled the prophetic Scriptures by identifying with Israel's history and completing its mission (Mt 2:15, 18). This baptism hence probably represents Jesus' ultimate identification with Israel at the climactic stage in its history: confessing its sins to prepare for the kingdom (3:2, 6).
If this suggestion is correct, then Jesus' baptism, like his impending death (compare Mk 10:38-39 with Mk 14:23-24, 36), is vicarious, embraced on behalf of others with whom the Father has called him to identify (Lampe 1951:39). This text declares the marvelous love of God for an undeserving world-especially for us who by undeserved grace have become his disciples. Jesus' example also calls us to offer ourselves sacrificially for an undeserving world as he offered himself for us. In a world that regards moral boundaries as impractical, where nothing higher than selfish passion guides many lives around us, Jesus reminds us of a higher mission and purpose for our lives. By submitting to baptism by one of lower rank who was nevertheless fulfilling his calling, Jesus also models humility for us.
God Declares His Approval of Jesus (3:16-17)
After Jesus submits humbly to others in God's plan, God publicly acknowledges Jesus' own rank. First, heaven was opened, reflecting biblical language for God's revelation or future deliverance (Is 64:1 [LXX 63:19]; Ezek 1:1; Kingsbury 1983:64; Schweizer 1970:37; compare Joseph and Asenath 14:2/3).
Second, Jesus saw the Spirit descending like a dove and lighting on him. The background for this sign of God's approval may require further comment. Scholars have often suspected that the dove has symbolic value and have proposed a variety of possible backgrounds for it. Jewish use of the dove to symbolize God's Spirit (Abrahams 1917:48-49; Barrett 1966:38) is both rare and late, as is the rabbinic comparison of the brooding Spirit in Genesis 1 with a dove (Taylor 1952:160-61). More frequently the dove represents Israel (as in Ps-Philo 39:5; b. Sabbat 49a; 130a); but while Jesus identifies with Israel in the context (as in Mt 2:11), this passage portrays the Spirit, not Jesus, as a dove. Genesis 8:8-12 probably provides the most suitable background (see also 4 Baruch 7:8): here the dove appears as the harbinger of the new world after the flood, which other early Christian literature employs as a prototype of the coming age (Mt 24:38; 1 Pet 3:20-21; 2 Pet 3:6-7). Jesus is the inaugurator of the kingdom era that John has been proclaiming.
Third, God shows his approval of Jesus by a voice from heaven, a concept with which Matthew's Jewish audience was undoubtedly familiar. Many Jewish teachers considered this bat qol the primary source of revelation apart from Scripture exposition while the Spirit of prophecy was quenched. The Gospels show that three voices-Scripture, a prophetic voice in the wilderness and the heavenly voice-all attest Jesus' identity. The heavenly voice alone would have been inadequate, but here it confirms the witness of Scripture and a prophet. Jesus is not a mere prophet but the subject of other prophets' messages.
The fact of the voice is important, but what the voice says is most important, for this is what officially declares Jesus' identity to Matthew's biblically informed implied audience. The voice rehearses ancient biblical language, probably adapting Psalm 2:7 ("You are my Son") into an announcement to the bystanders (This is my Son). Psalm 2, originally an enthronement psalm, is here used to announce in advance Jesus' messianic enthronement. The second proposed biblical allusion here, Isaiah 42:1, is more controversial, despite its many proponents. But whether or not Mark saw Isaiah's servant as background here, Matthew surely did, for he reads the wording of this voice's recognition oracle into his own translation of Isaiah (Mt 12:18). Jesus' mission includes suffering opposition as well as reigning, and so does the mission of his followers (5:11-12; 10:22; 16:24-27; 19:27-29; 24:9-13).
The Father's acclamation of the Son may suggest various principles to Matthew's readers. First, it reveals how central Jesus is to the Father's heart and plan; no one can reject Jesus and simultaneously please the Father. Jesus is not one prophet among many, but God's ultimate revelation; that he is God's "beloved" Son underlines the magnitude of God's sacrifice (compare Jn 3:16). Though in many contemporary circles worship properly exhorts and encourages the people of God (Col 3:16), we also need the kind of worship that tells Jesus how great he is, praising him for what he has done and for who he is (Ps 150:2).
Second, the Father's acclamation reveals that the meek Jesus is also the ultimate ruler who will usher in justice and peace. The beginning of his story tells his persecuted followers the end of the story in advance, providing us firm hope for the future.
Finally, the voice reveals Jesus as the Son obedient to the point of death, who willingly divests himself of his proper honor by identifying with us in baptism and death. We who often trifle with obedience in the smallest matters-for instance, the discipline of our thoughts or words for God's honor-are shamed by our Lord's obedience. May we worship him so intensely that his desires become our own and we, like our Lord, become obedient servants with whom the Father is well pleased.

A decade ago, when my wife and I were honeymooning on Italy's Amalfi Coast, we'd talked — maybe even vowed — to return there for our 10th wedding anniversary if we still liked each other. After all, it would be 10 years. That's a pretty big number for a married couple in Los Angeles. The equivalent of 90 anywhere else.
But last May, when the date approached and it was clear that checking into our old $650 sea-view suite at Il Positano di San Pietro would have to be pushed deeper into the milestone wedding anniversary rotation (maybe they'll hold it for our 50th), we found ourselves scrambling for a more doable but still aluminum anniversary-worthy contingency plan.
Italy aside, where could we mark our 10th in good form?
While cooking fish sticks and pooling air miles, we batted around some half-baked ideas that included a Cabo "Romance Package" and maybe just trying to get into Mozza at a reasonable hour.
Willows Historic Palm Springs Inn, 412 W. Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs; (800) 966-9597, http://www.thewillowspalmsprings.com.Rooms from $275-$525 weekdays, $325-$595 weekends. The inn is closed in July and August.
Then we dropped off the kids at my brother-in-law's for a couple nights, drove to Palm Springs and checked into the Willows.
If you don't know about this time-warpish, eight-bedroom, Mediterranean villa-style splurge hiding behind a wall of bougainvillea, locked iron gates and mile-high palm trees just a few blocks (but otherwise a world and about 80 years apart) from the crowds of downtown Palm Springs, it's probably because you're not really supposed to know about it. Not unless you're a guest.
But if you're a guest at the Willows, it's a bit like crashing at the private desert digs of someone's super-rich great-grandparents who aren't around anymore but have kindly left at your disposal a 24-hour innkeeper, a gourmet breakfast chef, a Spanish-tiled pool and a selection of old Bob Hope movies on DVD.
When we arrived on a warm Friday afternoon, the inn (sequestered at the foot of a sepia-brown mountainside behind the Palm Springs Art Museum) was discreet-looking enough to make us wonder whether we were at the right place. Finally, I pulled out my cellphone and called them. Uh, we're here. I think.
"Welcome to the Willows. I'll be right down to open the gate for you," confirmed our innkeeper, who promptly ushered us up a winding set of stone stairs laced with trumpet flowers, daylilies, hovering orange dragonflies and the faint sound of a waterfall; past a frescoed verandah with Spanish-tiled hors d'oeuvres tables and lovely desert views; through a grand living room gushing with inlaid mahogany, a giant fireplace, a grand piano, wrought-iron candelabras and Billie Holiday piping softly through the walls; and into our private chamber — called Einstein's Garden Room — furnished with various Art Deco-ish creature comforts of Jazz Age-era Palm Springs, including a claw-foot slipper tub in a chandeliered bathroom and French doors beside an antique king bed that opened onto a private garden patio —where the waterfall appeared, tumbling down a floral cliff.
Yeah. Never mind Italy. This would work for a 10th anniversary weekend.
"Did Einstein actually sleep in here?" I had to ask, like every prior guest who had checked into this room.
"Well, he was good friends with the original owner and slept in this house many times — but to be honest, I can't say for sure that he stayed in this very room," our host replied, almost apologetically. "But people do sometimes say that they wake up here feeling smarter," she added, before moving on to more important matters. Would we prefer to be served our three-course breakfast at a waterfall-side table in the main alfresco dining area or alone in our private garden, where Einstein perhaps ate eggs?
Other famous guests who've crashed at this former private residence (originally the winter estate of a 1920s Manhattan power lawyer before its revival as a historic inn) include Clark Gable and Carole Lombard during their honeymoon, Joan Crawford, Shirley Temple and Jimmy Walker (the 1920s New York mayor, not Jimmie "J.J." Walker from "Good Times"). There's also a Marion Davies Room that comes by the name honestly.
Is there a more current A-list ensemble that has checked in here? Probably. But name-dropping at the Willows is as comfortingly Old World as the inn's help-yourself DVD collection. Nothing much more recent than "The Big Sleep" or "Road to Singapore" in the pile.
We breakfasted in our private garden the next morning, lounging over coffee, fresh orange juice, granola parfait and stuffed French toast before the Palm Springs sun played its hand and we noticed our otherwise flawless secret garden's one glitch. No umbrella.
"Unfortunately, it's broken," a perky morning shift attendant reported, before assuring us that the heat would be manageable that day ("Mid- to high 90s. Just where we like it.") and then vanishing like a friendly ghost.
Retreating from the noonday sun, we skulked through the mansion's empty rooms and hallways like lazy time travelers, checking out the frescoes and other nostalgia-inducing refinements before falling into a mercifully brief discussion about crown molding (Warning: This place inspires 10-year married couples to do this).
A short, eight-minute hike up a hillside garden path wound past chirping birds, scooting lizards and secluded lookout nooks to the estate's loftier historic property, the O'Donnell House, where a sweeping terrace perched high above Tahquitz Canyon is often populated with wedding groups.
But thankfully, not this weekend. We had the whole place to ourselves — or at least it appeared so for the most part. Even for an intimate eight-bedroom inn with a clear emphasis on privacy, it felt private. Heading down to the lower pool deck one afternoon, we briefly encountered the only other guests we would see or hear at the Willows that weekend — a giggly couple who seemed to be celebrating something like their 10th wedding anniversary as well. Just without their respective spouses present.
Between breakfast and evening wine and hors d'oeuvres (included and prepared in-house), the inn's fancy French-Cal restaurant neighbor, Le Vallauris, will whisk over an $18 smoked salmon club or an $85 caviar teaser with a room-service call.
Or you can walk five minutes into town, eat some CPK and line up for Ben & Jerry's with the Palm Springs hoi polloi before retreating to another time and place, cracking a bottle of midnight Champagne in Einstein's Garden and marking 10 years in good form.
We did the latter and still felt pretty smart.

Sara Sugarman & Zak Profera Collaborate on Carpets
When Sara Sugarman and Zak Profera met in the seventh grade, they probably didn't expect to be collaborating on a high-end rug collection years later. As high-schoolers, they snuck into bars together, but as grown-ups, they've found a different kind of bond — one based on a shared appreciation for design and craftsmanship. Over the past year, they've worked together on a new collection for Sara's family business, Decorative Carpets.
The pair grew up in Los Angeles, but Zak now lives and works in New York. "Sara and I have been friends since childhood and have always been a part of each others' lives," Zak says. "When we were in high school, I'd actually park my car in Decorative's parking lot late at night when I was sneaking into The Abbey up the street on Robertson. I was always dragging Sara with me, of course. It's really funny to see this come full circle, especially since I live in New York now."
"He was always 'the creative one,'" she says. "There has always been a bit of a playful element in all of his work and you can definitely see that in the Mar a Mar collection. In our adult lives we really bonded over our shared interest in interior design; I think it was a natural progression."
"The name Mar a Mar means "Sea to Sea" and is a bit of a wink to the fact that Zak and I worked together from both coasts, LA and NY," Sara says. " I would fly to NY and we would stay up late pouring over color poms. He would fly to LA and we would look at quality and construction together. I think the color story and aesthetic of the line stemmed from what we thought would appeal to audiences on both coasts."
"We both agreed that we wanted something wildly fun and modern but definitely wanted to keep it rooted in tradition," Zak adds. "We looked at head-spinning, insane, endless amounts of Indian embroidery and Moroccan tile work and tried to reinterpret these very common motifs in a new light. I designed Layla to throw a tribal-influenced rug into the mix but wasn't sure how it would translate once woven since it is the most organic of all the designs. These things take on a completely new life when they are woven and tangible in your hands. Without a doubt, it's my absolute favorite."
"I named everything after the designs were complete," he says. "I don't like when a name feels totally distant from a design, so everything has a direct meaning to the actual composition. 'Ziz' is named after a river in Morocco — I thought of the design as a river weaving through a landscape. 'Martil' is named after the seaside town in Tangier. I basically dreamt about running away to a sleepy surfing village on the coast of North Africa and took that idea as inspiration for all of the names."
While Zak's background is in fine art and design, Sara's is in business. Decorative Carpets was founded in 1955 by her grandfather, Lou Sugarman, and it's been a family company ever since. "My grandfather moved to Los Angeles from Chicago after the war and got a job running the carpet department in a furniture store," Sara says. "He recognized a need for carpets and rugs tailored specifically to the design trade and understood that designers wanted more artistic expression in that medium."
"I officially joined the family business two-and-a-half years ago, but really I've been working at Decorative my whole life. When I was a kid, I would sit in the art department and paint my own rug designs. As I got older, I was always at the showroom during summers answering the phones, filing, organizing color poms. My grandfather and father never pushed me to come into the family business, but I think they wanted me to continue the legacy they created."
When Sara joined the company, she brought a fresh perspective on designer collaborations and marketing, having worked in publishing before re-joining Decorative. "My passion was in publishing and editorial," she explains, "and I moved to New York and got a job working for Gayle King at O, The Oprah Magazine. I joined Decorative with a strong marketing perspective and commitment I would have never had if I had gone straight from college into the family business."
Zak adds, "Decorative has always been a thriving business but it has taken on a whole new direction since Sara has jumped aboard. She's brought a new life to the showroom and to the brand and has a crystal-clear vision of what she wants it to be. It's family-run and very much still feels that way; the entire team is truly part of the family. (I'm not just saying that.)"
Sara says she spends every day working with her dad, "which I realize some people might not see as an advantage. I'm lucky that my dad has the faith and confidence in me to allow me to make some changes. Naturally I have the challenge of preserving what was created here before — I have big shoes to fill — at the same time, I'm able to strategize and guide the business in a new direction."
"The biggest challenge is really making a 56-year-old company current," she says, "and elevating what already is a great brand. We are very selective about the designers we work with and don't want to become a company with tons of designer lines. We select designers we like and who we think offer something new and different to the mix."
"This spring we launched a collection with Commune Design, an extremely talented design firm in Los Angeles. For their first rug collection, they created a beautiful line of hand-knotted rugs in textural, organic patterns."
"We have a precise talent when it comes to custom rugs," Sara says, "We can translate a designer's vision into a one-of-a-kind floor covering and we're known for our hand-tufted carpeting. Fifty-plus years of experience has primed us to be experts in construction and fibers and we're able to push the limits of what could traditionally be achieved. We own our factory in Thailand, which is a rarity, and have a smart design staff and impeccable quality control measures. We visit our factory regularly and treat all of our employees fairly."
Zak appreciates the sense of mission and focus that Sara and Decorative Carpets have brought to his work. "Working with Sara has been fantastic because she is someone who can reel me in." he says. "I'm the creative type that gets inspired if I see something shiny out of the corner of my eye so I have to produce and produce (and overproduce) and then edit down from there. I probably put together over 25 designs for this season's Mar a Mar collection and then cut that down to ten designs in varying colors."
The two plan to continue their collaboration on an upcoming line. "I just wrapped up a modern tribal collection for Decorative which will be totally hand-knotted in gorgeous combinations of hemp, silk and wool," Zak says, "and Sara and I are finalizing the last details of the next Mar a Mar collection for 2012. I was in Spain a while back and wanted to bring some Moorish elements into the mix for this next batch. We're going to introduce an entirely new color palette too, something a bit more tame (but never boring)."
"I'm also working on my own textile line right now called zak + fox (www.zakandfox.com) and am planning to launch it at the end of this year. It's a totally different aesthetic than Mar a Mar, definitely more personal, quieter. It will have its big moments too, though. I'm trying to refrain from using the word 'global' to describe the line since it's used so often so I'll refer to it as 'zen-eclectic' until I figure out a better phrase! But really, it's fairly 'globally' influenced. I can't help it."
Thanks, Zak and Sara!

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed veteran safety Chris Harris and waived cornerback Kevin Rutland.
Harris was a sixth-round draft pick by Chicago in 2005 who has played for the Bears, Panthers and Lions, starting at least seven games in each of his first seven seasons. He played in 11 games in 2011, seven with the Bears and four with the Lions, with eight starts.
His most productive year was in 2010, when he started all 16 games with Chicago and finished with a career-high five interceptions. Harris was not with a team this season until the Jaguars signed him Monday.
Jacksonville lost starting safety Dwight Lowery to an ankle injury against Chicago on Oct. 7. Lowery is expected to miss two to three weeks.

Proceeds Intended to Accelerate Capital Return Strategy for Proposed Royalty Management Company
Proceeds Intended to Accelerate Capital Return Strategy for Proposed Royalty Management Company
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 21, 2014) - Theravance, Inc. (NASDAQ: THRX) (the "Company") today announced that a subsidiary of the Company secured a $450 million private placement of 9% non-recourse PhaRMA(SM) notes. The net proceeds from this transaction are currently planned to support the initiation of a capital return strategy to the stockholders of Theravance, Inc. in conjunction with the previously announced spin-off of Theravance Biopharma, Inc., for payment of remaining approval and launch milestones to GlaxoSmithKline plc (GSK), and funding of the operations of Theravance, Inc. following the spin-off.
"This non-dilutive financing allows us to accelerate the execution of our strategy to begin providing capital returns to stockholders of Theravance, Inc. related to RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO™ ELLIPTA™," said Michael W. Aguiar, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Theravance, Inc. "We remain on track to complete the spin-off in the second quarter of 2014 and look forward to providing more definitive guidance on the key operating metrics for both companies prior to the separation."
About the Strategic Separation
To unlock the Company's value and facilitate a return of capital to stockholders, Theravance announced in April 2013 that it would separate late-stage partnered respiratory assets from its biopharmaceutical research and development (R&D) operations and create two companies, Theravance, Inc. (the royalty management company) and Theravance Biopharma (the R&D company). This strategic separation is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2014 subject to various legal and regulatory conditions, including the approval of the Form 10 Registration Statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and final approval of the transaction by Theravance's Board of Directors.
Theravance, Inc., A Royalty Management Company, will focus on managing all development and commercial responsibilities under its respiratory partnership agreements with GSK and associated royalty revenues, including royalties from RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO™ ELLIPTA™ with the intention of providing capital returns to stockholders. The R&D company, Theravance Biopharma, Inc., will be a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing small molecule product candidates in the respiratory, central nervous system/pain, gastrointestinal disorders and infectious disease therapeutic areas. The result will be two independent, publicly traded companies, with different business models, enabling investors to align their investment philosophies with the strategic opportunities and financial objectives of the two independent companies.
About the Financing
LABA Royalty Sub LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Theravance, Inc., issued $450 million in aggregate principal amount of PhaRMA(SM) 9% Notes due on or before May 15, 2029. The notes are secured by a security interest in a segregated bank account established to receive 40% of royalties from global net sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® (fluticasone furoate/vilanterol "FF/VI"), ANORO™ ELLIPTA™ (umeclidinium bromide/vilanterol, UMEC/VI) and, if developed, approved and commercialized, VI monotherapy, all of which are partnered with GSK, beginning with sales occurring on or after April 1, 2014 and ending upon the earlier of full repayment of principal or May 15, 2029. The notes are not convertible into Theravance equity and have no security interest in nor rights under any Theravance agreement with GSK. The notes may be redeemed at any time prior to maturity, in whole or in part, at the option of Theravance at specified redemption premiums. The notes bear an annual interest rate of 9%, with interest and principal paid quarterly beginning November 15, 2014. Prior to May 15, 2016, in the event that the specified portion of royalties received in a quarter is less than the interest accrued for the quarter, the principal amount of the notes will increase by the interest shortfall amount for the period. Since the principal and interest payments on the notes are based on royalties from product sales, which will vary from quarter to quarter, the notes may be repaid prior to the final maturity date in 2029.
Net proceeds of the offering are expected to be approximately $434.3 million which includes a reserve account of $32 million established to fund a portion of the potential approval and launch milestones payable to GSK. As the financing is related to assets that will reside in the royalty management company, the net proceeds from the transaction will remain at Theravance, Inc. following the separation of Theravance Biopharma and are currently planned to support the initiation of a capital return strategy to the stockholders of Theravance, Inc. in conjunction with the previously announced spin-off of Theravance Biopharma, Inc., for payment of remaining approval and launch milestones to GSK, and funding of the operations of Theravance, Inc. following the spin-off. The notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security.
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC acted as sole placement agent for the notes.
PhaRMA(SM) is a service mark of Morgan Stanley.

As one who is lurking on this thread, I have truly enjoyed the discussion. I feel that I am poorly equipped to jump in a lot of the time. However, I really enjoy the discussion while you both work to prove your sides and discuss the middle grounds. Before the "Great Crash" I was a serial lurker on the TUPGM thread (or what ever the initials are).

Montoya Wins ROLEX 24 at Daytona
After 23 hours, the 51st Rolex 24 at Daytona came down to the final few minutes, and it was NASCAR's own Juan Pablo Montoya who delivered on the 3.56-mile Daytona International Speedway road course Sunday, collecting his third Rolex win and assuring his Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Scott Pruett a record-tying fifth.
It was the second straight year a NASCAR driver was not only on the winning team, but was the driver who brought the car to one of racing's most prestigious checkered flags.
And as it turned out, Montoya's biggest threat in the end came from last year's winner and fellow Sprint Cup Driver AJ Allmendinger, who co-drove with NASCAR's road racing superstar Marcos Ambrose.
In the final hour, Montoya and Allmendinger raced through the tricky infield portion of the course as if they were tangling on a NASCAR short track.
"I knew he was going to get by, I was just going to make him work for it, I wasn't going to make it easy on him,'' explained a smiling Allmendinger, who ended up third.
"Obviously, with his background in racing in general, it's fun to compete against him,'' Allmendinger added. "But I don't look at it just as NASCAR and NASCAR. Obviously, we both have diverse backgrounds, so it's just fun to compete with somebody like that for the win.''
Montoya said he was trying to be patient and ultimately it came down to a fuel mileage situation anyway.
"With the speed we had on the car, it felt like we didn't have to take any risk,'' Montoya said. "I think we've both been doing NASCAR for a while and you learn the give and take and you learn to share the race track, and that's something here other people don't do.''
While Montoya, Allmendinger and Ambrose represented NASCAR on the podium, their fellow stock car competitors left the track exhausted, but also mostly satisfied.
Last season's Camping World Truck Series' "Most Popular Driver" Nelson Piquet Jr. finished eighth overall, tweeting afterward what a great time he had in the race and that he will "soon be announcing my NASCAR plans."
Two-time Daytona 500 winner Michael Waltrip and his co-driver, 2012 Sprint Cup championship runner-up Clint Bowyer, looked as if they could race another few hours.
They finished 16th overall in a Ferrari 458 -- eighth in the production-based GT class -- and for a fair portion of the event kept themselves in contention for a podium finish.
"I love being a part of this (race). Just being at Daytona and of course, what this place means to me. It's all good when you're driving a Ferrari on a Sunday afternoon in Daytona.''
Bowyer, who was making his Rolex debut, seemed as happy as he could be without taking home any winning hardware. He had stints driving in the sunset, in the middle of the night, in the morning as fog brought out a caution period and then finally in the race's closing hours.
"It took me 'til daylight to have a little fun,'' Bowyer said with a smile. "That stint was probably my best and I enjoyed it the best. The fog was kinda boring. But we got back on the lead lap. … And that's what's neat, just seeing the rejuvenation in everyone's faces. But it's no different than what we do every week in NASCAR.''
And, he added, "I'm not tired at all.''
It was an early day for Montoya's Ganassi teammate, 2010 Daytona 500 winner Jamie McMurray. He co-drove on Ganassi's second car, which retired from the race because of mechanical problems with three hours remaining.
That wasn't to say McMurray didn't have an eventful event first, however.
His car hit an air hose exiting the pits Saturday night and after serving a penalty, McMurray went back on track and turned some of the fastest laps of the race, putting the car out front for a good portion of the early going.
Early Sunday morning, a problem with the speed limiter on the dashboard distracted McMurray as he was leaving the pits and he glanced off the wall.
"This is different than crashing in a regular event,'' McMurray said. "When it's just you it's not the same as having three other teammates and the amount of people we've had down here for testing. It is very embarrassing, very humbling, just heartbreaking to be the guy that does that. ... I'm normally overly cautious. It really is frustrating because I feel like I don't do that too often.''
Standing alongside team owner Chip Ganassi as they watched Montoya complete the final lap, McMurray broke into a wide grin and celebrated the bigger picture.
"Even though it's two separate teams, you want to see your teammates win."

Consensus Report
Future Needs in Deep Submergence Science: Occupied and Unoccupied Vehicles in Basic Ocean Research (2004)Ocean Studies Board
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
Deep-diving manned submersibles, such as Alvin, which gained worldwide fame when researchers used it to reach the wreck of Titanic, have helped advance scientific understanding of the deep ocean. Many scholars in this field, however, have noted that the number and capabilities of today's underwater vehicles no longer meet current and expected scientific demand. At the same time, the relative value of manned and unmanned vehicles is often disputed. This report finds that new submersibles--both manned and unmanned--that are more capable than those in the current fleet are needed and would be of great value to the advancement of ocean research.
Key Messages
- Despite rapid and impressive growth in the capabilities of unoccupied vehicles (both remotely operated and autonomous), scientific demand for HOV access can be expected to remain high.
- Existing assets are simply too limited in their capabilities and capacity, especially at depths greater than 3,000m, to support the growing demand to conduct research over the necessary geographic and depth range.
- Experiments and observatory work that require longer time at already well-characterized sites on the seafloor are best conducted with ROVs.
- High demand for existing deep-diving assets within the NDSF pool has forced asset managers to place a heavy premium on maximizing operational days while minimizing days in transit.
- Part of this problem can be traced to the inadequacy of the number and capabilities of existing assets to perform the type of scientific effort associated with deep submergence science funded through NSF and NOAA.
- Surveys of the seafloor are best achieved using tethered vehicles and AUVs.
- The best approach to deep submergence science is the use of a combination of tools, at different scales.
- The management of the nation's deep submergence assets should be clarified and revised to ensure the optimal use of both existing and potential assets in future scientific research.
- The pressure that this geographic restriction has led to can only be expected to increase as ongoing efforts to address a more scientifically diverse set of problems increase the demand for deep-diving vehicles to work in diverse settings
- The scientific demand for deep diving vehicles (both human-occupied vehicles and remotely operated or autonomous vehicles) is, at present, not being adequately met.
- Work at depths greater than 6,500m will definitely require unoccupied vehicles, as long as the expense and risk of constructing and operating HOVs capable of work at these great depths discourage their use.

How To Build a One-of-a-Kind Frame Mood Board
If you're a procrastinator like me, then you know you can't possibly tackle your design to do list without first creating a mood board. And not a digital version, no, we need our inspiration to physically stay in our faces and not get lost behind 10 other apps. This easy DIY mood board is upcycled from an old picture frame and a broken lamp, won't put any holes in your wall, and will get you in the mood to kick off all your fabulous projects for the new year.
Wood picture frame
Base from an old lamp
2-3 inch piece of wood dowel (about 5/8" diameter)
2 screws
1 washer
Screw eyes
Spray paint
1. Remove glass and any nails, staples, and paper from frame.
2. Unscrew base from lamp. Snip cord to release all the lamp sections.
3. Drill a small hole into each end of dowel.
4. From the bottom of the lamp base, insert washer and screw up through hole and screw dowel onto lamp base.
5. Drill a small hole through the picture frame.
6. Insert screw into hole in picture frame and screw frame onto dowel.
7. Add screw eyes and wires across the back of the picture frame.
8. Spray paint the whole thing.
9. Clip on fabric swatches, paint chips, and inspiring photos.

1990 Mercury Cougar LS 3.8L V6 from North America
The best car a guy could ask for
Two ditches and an idiot that burned out her tranny in a mud hole, and she's still running strong.
The only problems I've had was her fuel pump at about 96,000 km, and her hinge pins and outside D/S handle.
General Comments:
This car is tough as nails. She's taken me through thick and thicker, starts in minus 30, and always comes back for more.
She isn't the fastest (the lack of a supercharger with the LS model), but she's a smooth ride. Her plush seats are an added plus, too.
The stock stereo system might leave you wanting if you're a bass head, but she suits my needs just fine, although the radio is getting old and kind of faulty with age.
The backseat has a lot of room for doing the no pants dance, too. ;)
It's hard to not fall in love with the Cougar. They're tough, reliable, and they have this *allure* that you can't deny. Even if you think they're ugly in the beginning, like I did, they win your heart.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

American Diabetes Association Announces Heather Berg as the 2013 National Youth Advocate
By: Marketwired .
Jan. 8, 2013 12:51 PM
ALEXANDRIA, VA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/08/13 -- The American Diabetes Association (Association) is pleased to announce Heather Berg, 18, as the Association's 2013 National Youth Advocate. Heather, of Kent, WA, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was 10 years old. Heather's younger brother was diagnosed a year and a half earlier, marking the beginning of Heather and her family's personal mission to Stop Diabetes®.
Since 2008, Heather has been actively involved with her local American Diabetes Association office. As a participant in the Association's local teen advocacy program, Heather has annually attended Diabetes Day at the Washington State Capitol, visiting with state senators and representatives, and volunteered at American Diabetes Association EXPO and the Family Link program, Family Retreat. In addition, Heather has taken on a number of city council speaking engagements stressing the importance of diabetes awareness and has secured proclamations declaring November as American Diabetes Month in the cities of Renton and Kent, WA. In her role as the National Youth Advocate, Heather will continue her advocacy efforts by traveling the country to speak about the Association's Safe at School campaign, helping to ensure that all children with diabetes are medically safe at school and that they have the same educational opportunities as their classmates.
"Heather Berg's commitment to the fight to Stop Diabetes is evident through her active participation in diabetes advocacy efforts in her local community. The Association is pleased to welcome Heather as our 2013 National Youth Advocate," said Karen Talmadge, PhD, Chair of the Board, American Diabetes Association. "In the coming year, Heather's efforts as the National Youth Advocate will provide inspiration to millions of Americans living with diabetes. Her leadership will be essential in advancing our national advocacy priorities, including increasing federal funding for diabetes research and prevention programs, expanding access to quality health care and preventing discrimination against people with diabetes."
Heather, a senior at Kennedy Catholic High School, has also been active in her school with diabetes fundraising and awareness efforts for years. Most recently, Heather organized and hosted a Stop Diabetes fundraiser to support her local Association office. In addition, she is active in her school's Healthy Living club, cheerleading team and Spanish Honors Society.
"There are so many people who have touched my life, especially through my involvement with the diabetes community and my local American Diabetes Association office," said Heather Berg. "I am very excited to further my work with the Association as the 2013 National Youth Advocate and look forward to making a difference in the nationwide effort to Stop Diabetes."
In the U.S., nearly 26 million adults and children are living with diabetes. In addition, 79 million have prediabetes, placing them at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is the leading cause of heart attack, stroke, blindness, kidney disease and amputations in adults. Recent estimates project that as many as one in three American adults will have diabetes by 2050, unless we take the steps to Stop Diabetes.
To learn more about Heather Berg and the Association's advocacy efforts, please visit www.diabetes.org/nya.
The American Diabetes Association is leading the fight to Stop Diabetes and its deadly consequences and fighting for those affected by diabetes. The Association funds research to prevent, cure and manage diabetes; delivers services to hundreds of communities; provides objective and credible information; and gives voice to those denied their rights because of diabetes. Founded in 1940, our mission is to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. For more information please call the American Diabetes Association at 1-800-DIABETES (1-800-342-2383) or visit www.diabetes.org.

IF SCOTLAND votes Yes that's the end of the British state. If they vote No, they could end up with devolution-max, with only defence and foreign affairs reserved here to Westminster.
Are you seriously saying that the people of Wales are going to be content with a settlement that doesn't even take us up to where Scotland is now?

The Committee
The first Heritage Committee, formed in 1979, was asked "to recover and preserve an accurate record of the roots from which this institution and its various divisions have grown," according to an early pamphlet published through its efforts.
Then-President Thomas A. Fulham appointed the committee of longtime University employees and editors in anticipation of the 75th Anniversary Jubilee in 1981.
The committee set to work to retrieve the University's history from primary sources, which entailed archival research, questionnaires, and the collection of oral histories.
The Heritage Project committee's ultimate product appeared in 1982: the bound volume, "Opportunity's Open Door."
The committee also selected noteworthy members of the University community to be honored with Heritage Medallions commemorating their service to the University.
The Heritage Committee took on renewed significance leading up to the University's Centennial in 2006, and its Heritage Medallion Awards Ceremony has become an annual September event.
Heritage Medallion Recipients
The University's Heritage Committee has taken the lead in identifying major participants in the University's history and honoring them with Heritage Medallions.
