Pope's sister hospitalized but stable in Argentina
September 17, 2013
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — The pope's sister in Argentina has been hospitalized, but her family says it's nothing serious.
Maria Elena Bergoglio is the only surviving sibling of Pope Francis. Her nephew Pablo Narvaja said Tuesday that she was hospitalized with high blood pressure and glucose levels Monday night, but now she's stable and feeling much better.
Narvaja says his 66-year-old aunt has some chronic health problems, "but there is no cardiorespiratory difficulty; the heart is fine, the lungs as well, and the first signs (of trouble) are receding."
He also says that she is lucid and showing good humor, and they hope she can return home in a few days.

eh, just watched this entire series, and loved it. The Aozora scene was a little overdone, i think.
I guess it's one of those animes that doesn't make you feel sad until you stop to think about it after it ends. Damn, wish there was more.

Actually, I always thought that the 1000th summer, the year that the curse was broken, wasnt actually when Misuzu died with good memories and Yukito in turn flew them to the girl in the sky. I think that this happened a couple of years after the 1000th summer....and that the 1000th summer is the year that the two children were born, the two children we see walking down hand in hand on the beach in the end. I think that these two are Misuzu/Kanna and Yukito/Ryu reincarnated...made possible with all those overlapping timelines in this anime (like Sora being able to suddenly appear all the way back at the beginning).
If i remember correctly, the two children weren't there the first time Yukito and Misuzu met, and only showed in their meeting when Sora was there...

Hello. I'm new here.
Ah yes, Air TV , the ending in itself is left much to the viewer's intepretation as the show itself is filled with symbolism of many sorts. Any ways Air TV was the anime that made me hooked into anime indefinitely. Since many has posted their thoughts on the ending I guess the least I could do is to post a link that helped me answer some of the similar questions I had too after watching the anime.
Sorry if it is very old, and please do remember that this is also one of many ways to interpret the show...^_^

Another newbie, though I've been simply reading the forums for sometime. Forums are deathly scary to me. >.>
This probably isn't so much of an explanation/theory, but I somehow draw a little visual symbolism with the Kids On the Beach with Kanna and Ryuuya's art in the Summer Special ED. Both of them are holding hands. Both of them are in front of the beach. And like in the AIR logo, Ryuuya is just a little offscreen, and we see both of them from their backs.
I know it probably refers to Kanna's 'unspoken wish' to live by the sea, the last 'dream' she had with Ryuuya and Uraha, but the imagery remains interesting. The positioning seems a little coincidental for the usual "ED prettiness"---though of course this could have alluded to like five themes at once...

Interesting. I always thought that the little girl in the ending of AIR TV is a reincarnation of Kanna with a clean-state of memory (she also has blue hair, starkingly similar with Kanna!). The boy is more ambiguous though but I somehow think that he is part-Ryuuya, part-Yukito.
I want to play the game now so I can understand the story deeper.

For those who didn't understand why he turned himself into a crow... re-view episode 1. You will see a crow, maybe that would help. It's incredible how they have all the events of the history created before they finish it.
Also : a curious thing is the name of the sake ; read it : Journeying crow
Another : see 14:38 when he runs the dog, you will see a television with something that looks the samurai history beyond this history.

Ryuuya did say a line back during the last scene with Kanna about bringing her to the Ocean. and he actually said (at least in one of the sub versions) he'd like it to be on the western side of Japan where the water was warmer.
I am uncertain of this part which the general area where the Summer Arc takes place. From Koi's notes, they say it could be Kishuu, or Kii province which is on the eastern side of Japan.
Interestingly enough the modern day setting of the AIR story takes place in a real town called Kami (formerly called Katsumi) which is on western shore of Japan... Numerous scenes and locations are identical to those of the real life town.
Even if the story's setting can't be verified as the town of Kami, the anime itself proves it's on the western side of Japan because they show the sun setting over the ocean in the west, something you can't see on most of the eastern shores.
I don't think viewers were meant to research it this deeply or if it was even done on purpose by Key or the writers. But you have to wonder...

Just a little random thought:
I know Misuzu was just basically Kanna's spirit reincarnated into a whole new body (or something along those lines), but did anyone want to still see Misuzu with full fledged wings like I wanted to? ^^"

Was cruising for a series to watch and picked this up after seeing dropped in some threads. I have to say it was pretty enjoyable, though I was no fan of the end.
I don't know why but after I saw the last 2 episodes I was just kind of sick of it all. Not that I don't have a soft side (I still can't watch CC again and I put the manga in storage since it tore me apart so bad) but I think it got so big that it tore the emotion out of it. I think they just tried entirely to hard to make it so dramatic and sad.
I bet this might be due to the game since things have to be a bit bigger in that format. Though I could be wrong since I never played it. As for now I am blaming it on the game.
I wish I could explain it better, I just wish they made things a little more natural.

the girl/girl's born with the curse like misuzu is simply there to bring back good memories to kanna to "break" the curse, yukito gave up hes body to become sora and gave misuzu more "life time" to get some good memeories with her mom.
atlest thats how i think about it

Yeah, I read that the two children were the reincarnations of Misuzu and Yukito. Also, you do see the to children at some point during the show, Misuzu waves to them one time when they are on the beach (other than at the ending I mean)
I'm not sure which episode it is though, I'll sift through them and tell you later.
EDIT: Found it. The beginning of episode 10 just after the opening

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The MIT women's fencing team kicked off the New Year by defeating all six of its opponents at last Saturday's Northeast Fencing Conference (NFC) meet hosted by Brown University. The Engineers topped Boston College (16-11), Tufts University (16-11), Smith College (23-4), Dartmouth College (24-3), Vassar College (18-9), and the host Bears (14-13). With the wins, the Cardinal and Gray improved to 13-6 overall and 11-1 in the NFC.
Behind a 17-1 outing by Robin Shin, the sabre squad amassed a 42-12 ledger. In addition to overpowering victories against Smith (9-0), BC (8-1), and Dartmouth (7-2), the Engineers went 6-3 to clinch the one-point win over Brown. Lauren Chilton notched a total of 9-1 while Molly Kozminsky finished at 12-6. Elena Tatarchenko rounded out the contingent with a 4-4 record.
A pair of 9-0 decisions versus Smith and Dartmouth helped propel the foil team to a 41-13 ledger. Cordelia Link compiled a mark of 11-2 as Jenna Caldwell turned in a 14-4 outing. Lindley Graham went 11-7 while Julia Hopkins won all five of her bouts.
The epee team finished the day with a mark of 28-26 which featured an 8-1 win over Dartmouth. Stephanie Shin and Kirsten Hessler both posted records of 10-8, followed by Sophie Monahan (6-3), and Breanna Peterman (2-7).

For some reason when they talk about girls it's funny, but when Eric & Jeremy did, it was annoying. I can't figure it out, but I like these two.
I still don't like them.

Steven Sinofsky, the hard-charging former Microsoft Corp executive, has joined the prominent Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz as a part-time "board partner," representing the firm on certain boards of companies it invests in.
The move, announced on Sinofsky's personal blog on Thursday, is slightly surprising given Marc Andreessen, co-founder of the venture capital firm, has long been a critic of Microsoft, since Microsoft effectively crushed his Netscape Communications browser company in the 1990s.
After Microsoft... (Image credit: Microsoft)
Founded in 2009, Andreessen Horowitz is one of Silicon Valley's newest and most prominent venture funds, which has recently backed companies such as photo-sharing business Instagram and accommodation service Airbnb.
Sinofsky left Microsoft unexpectedly in November, just after he led the rollout of Windows 8, after an uncomfortable relationship with CEO Steve Ballmer.
He has kept a low profile since then, teaching a class at Harvard Business School. An agreement with Microsoft prevents him from working with direct rivals such as Amazon.com Inc , Apple Inc or Facebook Inc for a year.
"I'm especially excited to learn by spending more time with entrepreneurs and those creating new technologies and products," said Sinofsky on his blog. "Andreessen Horowitz is a VC firm that believes deeply in helping entrepreneurs and helping change the product and business landscape."

This series covers all areas of research at Perimeter Institute, as well as those outside of PI's scope.
Experiments and observations over the last decade and a half have persuaded cosmologists that (as yet undetected) dark energy is by far the main component of the energy budget of the universe. I review a few simple dark energy models and compare their predictions to observational data, to derive dark energy model-parameter constraints and to test consistency of different data sets. I conclude with a list of open cosmological questions.
After the completion of the Planck satellite, the next most important experiments in cosmology will be about mapping the Large Scale Structures of the Universe. In order to continue to make progress in our understanding of the early universe, it is essential to develop a precise understanding of this system. The Effective Filed Theory of Large Scale Structures provides a novel framework to analytically compute the clustering of the Large Scale Structures in the weakly non-linear regime in a consistent and reliable way.
In describing condensed matter, some well established paradigms have allowed much progress to be made in understanding and using materials. But in the last 15 - 20 years, new materials, such as heavy fermions, high temperature superconductors, and now charge density wave-supporting materials, have been shown to require new paradigms in describing them. While much progress has been achieved in that time, we still do not have a widely accepted theoretical description of the nature of their electronic excitations.
The QCD axion is a curious Dark Matter candidate, having a mass like the neutrino, but behaving as Cold Dark Matter. I will review how this occurs, and discuss the interesting question of whether WIMPs could be distinguished from axions with Large Scale Structure data.
I'll discuss some recent results, motivated by the black-hole firewall paradox and the AdS/CFT correspondence, about the quantum circuit complexity of preparing certain entangled states and implementing certain unitary transformations.
Entropy comes up all over physics and mathematics in many different guises. However, as one tries to understand its conceptual meaning, entropy often evades the question by shifting into a different shape. Here, I will try to capture the beast by surrounding it from all sides. Assistance by the audience will increase the chance of success.
Recent developments reveal a deep connection between entanglement entropy and the emergence of space time and gravity. In anti-de Sitter space gravity appears to be derived from the first law of thermodynamics for entanglement entropy, which in the large radius limit obeys an area law. Based on insights from string theory, we propose a generalisation of these results to flat space and de Sitter space. In the latter case, the vacuum entanglement entropy has an additional contribution that scales like the volume of the bulk space time.
The known basic building blocks of matter, the quarks and leptons, come in three generations or flavors.
The masses and interactions of the different flavors show a very hierarchical structure and the origin of these hierarchies remains an unsolved mystery of particle physics. The same hierarchies lead to a very high sensitivity of flavor changing processes to new undiscovered particles even outside the reach of direct searches at particle colliders.
Most of the matter in the Universe is dark; determining the composition and interactions of this dark matter is among the defining challenges in particle physics today. I will briefly summarize the present status of dark matter searches and the case for exploration beyond the WIMP paradigm, particularly "light dark matter" close to but beneath the weak scale. I will define sharp milestones in sensitivity needed to decisively explore the best-motivated light dark matter scenarios, and describe experimental techniques to reach these milestones over the next several years.
The spatially-indirect exciton condensates (SIXC) is an interesting ordered electronic state in which coherence is spontaneously established between particles localized in separate two-dimensional layers. I will discuss some of the properties SIXCs, commenting on their counterflow superfluidity, their collective excitations, and on similarities and differences relative to superconductors, easy-plane ferromagnets and anti-ferromagnets, and the standard model of particle physics.

Where Are the Worst Commutes in America?
When considering the life of the daily commuter, it's a wonder that more people aren't being sucked into a psychotic cesspool of road rage and suicidal tendencies while locked deep inside the great American traffic jam.
While the majority of the population is likely to agree that being caught in rush hour traffic is about as unpleasant as it gets, some of them, depending on there commute, might go as far as to say that gridlock is the closet gate to hell that they have ever known.
So, what are the most hellish commutes in America?
According to the latest research compiled using information from traffic tracking firm INRIX, which collects data from more than 100 million vehicles across the country, a commute on Los Angeles' Harbor Freeway is the worst in America, followed closely by the Van Wyck Expressway in New York City and the California Delta Highway in San Francisco.
Commutes in the cities of Chicago and Houston also made the top of the list, as did those in Boston and Pittsburgh.
These findings are the product of an analyzed INRIX Traffic Index, and based on the total extra drive time required in passing through a particular corridor of highway during rush hour as well as the total length of the corridor. The outcome, of course, highlights the worst commutes in America.
Therefore, if you are among the unfortunate stretched out along the great American highway chances are you know that you're doomed, and you have likely done all you can in an attempt to give yourself some relief. Yet, if you are among those planning a vacation through Hades, there is still time to change your route and save your soul!
10 worst Commutes
1. Los Angeles: Harbor Freeway/CA-100 Northbound
2. New York City: Van Wyck Expressway/I-678 Northbound
3. San Francisco: California Delta Highway/CA-4 Westbound
4. Chicago: Stevenson Expressway/I-55 Southbound
5. Dallas-Ft. Worth: Loop 820/I-820 Westbound
6. Houston: US-59 Northbound
7. Seattle: I-405 Southbound
8. Washington, DC: Capital Beltway/I-495 Outer Loop
9. Boston: Southeast Expressway/I-93 Southbound
10. Pittsburgh: Penn Lincoln Parkway/I-376 Eastbound

Now a sun-bleached provincial capital, Syracuse was once one of the most prestigious cities in the known world. Founded in the 8th century BC by settlers from Corinth, Syracuse gradually grew in prestige to rival Athens and was considered the western capital of Magna Graecia. In the Greek world dictators, often called tyrants, exercised unlimited power over colonies like Syracuse. Although often unpleasant people, they also often patronized poets and artists and competed to bring intellectuals to their courts. Syracuse was home to Archimedes, Plato and Aeschylus during its height of power and prestige.
Today's visitors come to marvel at the remains of the ancient structures, reminders of the past glory and rich history of the area. The city is superbly situated at the head of a beautiful bay and enjoys a mild climate. The coastline to the south is renowned for its beauty, clear waters and evocative, mythical scenery. There are romantic abandoned coves and wide, sandy beaches not easily matched anywhere else in Italy.

What does it take to make it into an investment bank these days? Impeccable grades, multiple internships, 'executive' positions in university societies, the CFA level I? Maybe, but now that junior bankers are more qualified than ever, will spending tens of thousands of dollars on an Masters in Finance qualification really give you the edge?
Masters in Finance qualifications are far from being de rigueur among front office analysts. Our own analysis of nearly 800 analysts who were hired in top investment banks in 2017 suggests that around 20% possessed these post-graduate degrees. They are typically most common for UK analyst classes and among analysts in sales and trading roles, but more recently Masters in Finance qualifications have sprouted up in Continental Europe and the U.S. and they're gaining traction.
Masters in Finance courses aren't cheap: they typically cost tens of thousands of pounds, euros, or dollars per year. If you're studying a Masters in Finance with the intention of moving into banking, you therefore need to make sure it's the right one. So, which course is most likely to land you the job?
Our analysis of the eFinancialCareers CV database suggests that the MSc Finance course at London School of Economics is now most likely to land you an investment banking job. This is followed by the Masters in Finance course at London Business School. Imperial College London, the University of St Gallen and Warwick Business School, which has risen rapidly up the rankings this year, make up the remainder of the top five.
The league table is based on the proportion of people with finance-focused Masters degrees in our CV database who have gone on to secure a 'front office' investment banking job upon graduation. This means those who have moved into M&A, capital markets, sales and trading or equity research. Since the rankings are simply based upon individuals' moves upon graduation, we've included both pre-experience courses (which make up the majority) as well as the small number that recommend students have industry experience before undertaking them.
We've allocated a greater weighting to those gaining a position in a tier one investment bank (Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Citi, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley), followed by tier two banks (Barclays, Credit Suisse and UBS) and finally tier three institutions (BNP Paribas, HSBC, Nomura, Royal Bank of Scotland and SocGen) and, together with the proportion of people securing a job, have assigned a score to each college.
While it's not easy to get a front office investment banking job anywhere, the U.S. investment banks still attract more applications and hold more prestige. Our weightings have worked in favour of those schools which feed into the U.S. firms, therefore. Some of the French schools, which have very highly-regarded MSc Finance courses, would have ranked higher were it not for the fact that so many graduates go on to work for French banks. The means that the likes of HEC Paris, Edhec Business School and Grenoble School of Business, which tend to feature highly in the FT rankings, are all out of our top ten. At HEC, for example, 43% of people working in banking on our database are at tier three institutions.

Top 20 U.S. Ports: Where's the money?
Creative funding for expansion and infrastructure improvement is critical for the top U.S. ports, especially as shippers are slowly reconfiguring their supply chains to become less dependent on the West Coast.
Oakland was ranked 7th on Zepol's Top 20 list for the first quarter of 2011. Like Los Angeles and Long Beach to the south, the California ports are constantly seeking new ways to maintain existing "connectivity" and build for the future.
Transportation in the NewsU.S. Port Update Part 1: Infrastructure Shortfalls Driving Innovation Emerge names Crawford as president Diesel average is down for 14th consecutive week, reports EIA December truck tonnage finishes a strong year in 2018, reports ATA Despite sluggish December, IANA reports 2018 intermodal volumes post annual gains More Transportation News
If there is one lesson learned by the catastrophic global events recently, it's that "just-in-case" scenarios trump "just-in-time" imperatives. Japan's earthquake, continued political unrest in the Middle East, and wild world currency fluctuations have shippers hedging their bets these days—and that includes domestic seaport selection.
Even on the West Coast, mega-ports in San Pedro, the San Francisco Bay, and the Puget Sound face daunting competition from a foreign gateway to the north. According to Peter Gatti, executive vice president of the National Industrial Transportation League (NITL), British Columbia's Prince Rupert is becoming the favored gateway for many of the League's members sourcing goods from the Far East.
"It is a day's shorter transit time," Gatti notes, "and they don't have the labor problems U.S. ports have." But the real advantage, he adds, is the rail link provided by CN that not only feeds across the continent, but also down into Kansas City. "Canada has clearly been investing in the port's infrastructure."
Infrastructure, or rather the lack thereof, is also a key growth indicator for Richard Thompson, executive vice president of the global supply chain practice for Jones Lang LaSalle. He maintains that "connectivity" will be the watchword for U.S. ports in the future.
"Given the current energy picture, shippers are becoming ever more reliant on rail and intermodal," says Thompson. "That means that the ports will be concentrating on on-dock or near-dock rail service and the DCs to support intermodal transfer. This kind of connectivity softens risk as well."
Thompson's recent research suggests that shippers are slowly reconfiguring their supply chains to become less dependent on West Coast ports. With California's economy in tatters, raising capital to improve infrastructure in that state alone has been daunting.
Three of the nation's top 10 ports—Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Oakland—are constantly seeking new ways to maintain existing "connectivity" and build for the future. But as we're finding, all of our nation's ports are struggling with similar funding challenges.
What does this mean for shippers? Thompson explains: "All the multinationals are trying to get locked into long-term contracts with specific ocean carriers. And if the carriers are calling ports that can't meet all the inland distributions needs, the shipper is out of luck."
Consequently, ports are more intent than ever to keep both carriers and shippers happy—but to do that they need to find the proper investment capital.
In search of funding
Witness last month's biennial Port Administration and Legal Issues Seminar in San Francisco sponsored by the American Association of Port Authorities. The event featured an in-depth discussion on port funding and public finance management. While many paths can be taken toward achieving a financing goal, most speakers advise a "go slow" approach for port administrators.
"It's crucial that one set priorities with all the port stakeholders before moving forward," says Karl Pan, chief financial officer for the Port of Los Angeles. "Before getting started, make sure you understand the risks and whether you're staffed with the administrative skill sets to the get the job done."
There are debt service reserve fees, financial covenants, and unique reporting requirements.
"So when you're trying to sell your plan to a Board," he says, "it's important to avoid financial jargon." Pan also insists that complete transparency be provided in any presentation, as "there is no place to hide." Given the economies of scale that most ports are now under, financial advisors are "a must" says Pan.
Jessica Soltz Rudd, senior director with Frasca & Associates, LLC, concurs, noting that advisors can help ports navigate the intricacies of the financial marketplace.
"Back in the 'go-go '90s' ports were bringing in so much cargo that money for expansion was a given," she says. "The growth multiples were three times or more each year; and given the capital intensive nature of port operations, money was not that hard to raise."
But in the wake of a severe recession, and with consumer confidence now just beginning to gain traction, ports are under pressure to justify investment before trying to raise cash. "Even with a bond rating like the one Los Angeles has it's not an easy thing to do," says Sotlz Rudd. "And once you get the funding, it's important to stay on your guard, and remain proactive. You are only as good as your credit."
Industry analysts say that there's been a direct correlation between capital investment in port infrastructure, and the volume growth at those load centers.
Zepol Corporation—a leading trade data and market intelligence company specializing in ocean cargo data—notes that there's been a shift in share over the past year. "Long Beach and Los Angeles lost a combined 4 percent and 14 percent, respectively," says Zepol's president, Paul Rasmussen. "East Coast ports are picking up this traffic. New York/New Jersey and Houston were the biggest winners on the container front in the past two years."
Meanwhile, Houston increased its throughput by 31 percent over 2010, and other lower volume ports increased their market share, as well. Earlier this year, Houston opened the Cargo Bay Road truck entrance with considerable fanfare. Presently, trucks transport about 75 percent of the port's inbound and outbound cargo.
Houston City Council member James Rodriguez, whose District I includes several Port Authority operational facilities, notes that the new truck entrance will help improve traffic flow with three inbound and two outbound lanes. "It will be open around the clock and staffed by contract security personnel," says Rodriguez.
Investment paying off
Houston is not the only "mid-tier" port investing in its future, says Zepol's president. "Port Everglades, Miami, New Orleans, and Baltimore, all ports that invested recently, all saw significant percentage increases in TEU volumes versus 2010," he says.
Ongoing capital improvements, including widening and deepening of its entrance channel and waterways, ensure that Port Everglades will have the ability to handle future growth in container traffic, say officials there.
"We have been saying for years that cargo ships are getting larger and more efficient," says Port Everglades' executive director Phil Allen. "Our 20-year master plan recognizes that Port Everglades will need to widen and deepen its channels to handle fully loaded ships of the current generation and even larger ships once the Panama Canal expansion is completed in 2014." ??
Meanwhile, Florida's Governor Rick Scott asked the Department of Transportation to allocate $77 million to the Port of Miami to deepen the channel to minus 50 feet so larger ships can gain access to the port.
"This is a solid first step toward enhancing Florida's infrastructure and getting our state ready for a new generation of international trade with South America and beyond," says Scott. "There are a number of worthy infrastructure projects that deserve our attention, and as Floridians, we know best where our resources should be focused."
As LM has reported in the recent past, the Port of New Orleans is also continuing with its expansion—particularly in regard to greater hemispheric trade with Latin America.
In the past 10 years, the port has invested more than $400 million in new facilities. Improved breakbulk and container terminals feature modern, multipurpose cranes, expanded marshalling yards, and a new roadway to handle truck traffic.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has started the engineering and design work for a project to "Raise the Roadway" of the Bayonne Bridge. This unique alternative to dredging is designed to accommodate larger ships after the Panama Canal upgrades are completed.
The authority, which is continuing the development of the Global Container Terminal in Jersey City to accommodate future growth, is also upgrading and expanding the capacity of the cross-harbor rail float barge operation between Brooklyn and Jersey City. Plans are on the books to also develop the Greenville Yards in Jersey City.
However, the limited increase in revenue to the NY/NJ Port Authority generated by the increase in cargo volumes does not cover the costs of the port's annual state of good repair—nor does it cover all of the capital improvements needed to maintain the port's competitive position.
"In this economic environment, the competition for port business is fierce," says Chris Ward the NY/NJ port authority's executive director. "That is why we continue to take steps with our industry partners to improve our position."
Despite the extremely competitive environment among ports on the East Coast, NY/NJ remains the largest ocean cargo gateway there, and the third largest in the United States behind Los Angeles and Long Beach. The port handles approximately 31 percent of all East Coast cargo.
But while much of that cargo is headed to the immediate region, more than 20 percent of the cargo is destined for locations that can be served by other ports. "This discretionary cargo is part of a highly competitive market that every port in the U.S. and Canada seeks," says Ward. "To meet the challenges of future growth, the we will invest $283 million in 2011 to upgrade the port road network, enhance the existing ExpressRail system, and continue its program to deepen the port's channels to 50 feet."

Dearest Anita, so great you have a day of and Thanksgiving-holiday is coming soon! I will take time of with my hubby tuesday till thursday, for a mini-spa-vacation! Am so exited and looking forward to this, after so much stress. YOu have SNOW? OMG, here. it's still fall and today even blue skies. But snow is lovely, especially the first snow. I can see you going to school with a fur-hat! Have a fab day sweet friend! xx
Your comment has brought tears of gratitude to my eyes. I suppose this is the season for gratitude, right?
Being creative is a most wonderous thing but sometimes one can feel a little lonely so generous, sweet comments from busy, creative types as YOURSELF are most welcome.
I do NOT have an online shop but plan to open one during the following year. I have only been blogging since June this year so I would like to establish myself a little out there....
If you have any tips, incidentally, I would love to hear from you.
How are you faring, dear friend? I adore this time of year (birthday, wedding anniversary, CHRISTMAS, etc.,) but find we have to pace ourselves as a family to get through it intact physically.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, your thoughts.
Be happy, dearest Anita.
Id like to wish everyone whose blog that i visit a happy Thanksgiving to you and your family's, and thank you for being a reader to mine. Richard from Amish Stories.
THANK YOU! you cast your magic wand and lift my heart. I adore the room with the painting of the girl.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, dear friend! What a beautiful post. I am focusing on enjoying the "Haves" in my life this Thanksgiving rather than the "Have-nots". It's an exhilarating and liberating thing to do- being thankful.
I hope your Thanksgiving is the best!

Hello and Happy almost Thanksgiving beautiful Anita!!!
This week is already flying by!!! Our weather is cooling off and the warmer autumn days are behind us now as winter is beginning to set in!!!
I have been buying lots of vintage clothing lately; I love vintage pieces and their one of a kind uniqueness!!!
I love that they have history; I always imagine a story attached like Stevie Nicks performed in a Fleetwood Mac concert in a flowy top I bought!!! :-)
Hoping you're having a great day!!!
Sending hugs!!! TTYS!!!
Anita, Your dining room is amazing! It is my favorite of all those pictured! May you have a joyous Thanksgiving!
Anita, I am taken peachless and breathless with the beauty over here, your header speaks to me, your photos so inspiring...But the soul of this post is BEST of all your DINNING ROOM! I am in awww! at the real history you gave it in a very liveable space.
I am truly without words other then it reaches the depths of what I am all about.
There is no other room on this post that is so Authentic with such a lived in history that you my dear can love, a room of your own, a place of thanks giving and all the other days of the year.
Thank you my friend for sharing your best beauty and that is of your home.
Anita, I see the curtain you speack of so openly with me in emails, the one that hides the flat screen TV! Not to worry my dear, after seeing yours I would love to do the same, perhaps I will find a better place and mount mine to the wall for the same effect as you have achieved without a thought, your hubbys demand of a Tv on the wall was a great move for your beautiful effect of creating a French Theatre' right in front where everyone can enjoy once again another curtain call, the crest placed above it is the crowning glory of your theatre'...Bravo my dear and the beauty you magically create in all things French!
Bisous, au revoir pour l'instant
Looking soon to create a production with our theatre's
And a beautiful Thanks Giving to you to.
Happy thanksgiving, a big 'ta' from this Aussie gal (we are too lazy from all the sunshine to bother with even 'thanks' here in Australia!) hugs! X
Oh Anita, you must be an ANGEL........thank you soooooo much, for your sweet and soooooo lovely words!!!!!!!! Hugs and kisses,
Jade & Sheila
PS: And also many kisses to your husband from Sheila ;)))!!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving, Anita!
It was so hard to get back to reality after vacation, so it has taken me a while to get back to blogging! It was a wonderful trip though. I didn't want it to end!
How have you been? I hope you are able to have the most relaxing, wonderful weekend. How is your Etsy shop?
I haven't been able to focus on my own projects since before the trip. Maybe this weekend I can finally focus on art! Today I started to not feel very well, so I hope I don't get worse...especially to be able to taste all that food tomorrow!
Sending a warm hug to you!

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (Dec. 8, 2012) – Without a starting point guard and sporting a roster with just seven scholarship players, the ETSU men's basketball team will face a major challenge Saturday afternoon, as the Buccaneers travel to take on perennial national power and No. 20-ranked North Carolina inside the Dean E. Smith Center.
Tip is set for 7:30 p.m.
Because of circumstance and injury, the Bucs are simply a shell of the team they expected to be at this point of the year. This has left head coach Murry Bartow focusing on the future, as he plays a group of youngsters and junior college transfers, and waits for the return of players such as talented senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) and injured freshman point guard Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.).
For more on Saturday's game, read the game notes below or click on the game notes link above. For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the 2012-13 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.
We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Buc bits
After several years of quality returning players and at least some level of certainty regarding what to expect heading into the winter months, the 2012-13 ETSU men's basketball team will enter the new campaign with several questions and concerns. ... The loss of standout seniors such as Adam Sollazzo (Tampa), Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) and Tommy Hubbard (Boston) will be hard to overcome, considering that group combined for a total of 3,091 points in their careers ... A year ago, the Bucs enjoyed quality wins such as a road victory over Atlantic 10 Conference foe Charlotte, and finished with a respectable 17 victories on the season. The team finished fourth in the Atlantic Sun Conference standings at 10-8, reaching the league tournament semifinals. ... This season, the Bucs' top two returning starters were guards Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) and Marcus Dubose (Hartsville, S.C.), who both combined to score 19.7 points per game a year ago. ... However, both Cooley and Dubose have been dismissed from the team for violation of team rules and policies ... Along with those two, fellow guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) and forward Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) are the only other ETSU seniors to be returning after playing significant minutes last year, but Poderis is now lost for the season with a left foot injury and will be forced to redshirt, while Jones is academically ineligible for the first semester ... With so few returning, experienced players, ETSU will be looking to some unproven returning players, as well as a recruiting class that includes three incoming freshmen and a pair of junior college transfers, to come in and make an immediate impact. Sophomores Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) and John Walton (Memphis), along with redshirt freshman Lester Wilson (Knoxville) are expected to increase their production this year, while true freshmen guards Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.), Mario Stramaglia (Birmingham, Ala.), and Yunio Barrueta (Miami, Fla.) will look to blossom into early contributors. ... On the interior, Walton will need help from junior college transfers Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) and Hunter Harris (Nashville). While they may have plenty of questions entering the season, the Bucs' schedule will not provide much patience for development. The team will face teams such as North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Ole Miss and Georgia in the opening weeks of the season, and will host 2011 Final Four participant VCU (Jan. 2) just days before the start of the Atlantic Sun Conference slate. The team will also enjoy a Christmas holiday trip to the Diamond Head Classic and face Arizona in the first round of that event on Dec. 22.
Last time out
HARRISONBURG, Va. (Dec. 5, 2012) – Without starting point guard Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.), the ETSU men's basketball team had no answers for James Madison's relentless defensive pressure and suffered a 70-45 setback Wednesday evening inside the JMU Convocation Center. ... The Dukes were obviously aware of McClain's injury, as they immediately went to a full court defense from the start of the game and forced the short-handed Buccaneers to beat the press. It didn't happen. ... Ultimately, the Dukes forced ETSU into 18 turnovers and got a team-high 17 points from guard A.J. Davis to cruise to the victory. For the Bucs, Lester Wilson (Knoxville) posted a game-high 21 points, while sophomore guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa, Fla.) netted 12 points in the game. ... The Bucs suffered through a nightmarish start in the first half, as James Madison exploited McClain's absence and pressured ETSU relentlessly. As a result, JMU built a lead of as many as 15 points twice. ... ETSU did manage to get within 10 points of the Dukes on a couple of occasions, but ultimately trailed by 16 at 36-20 when JMU closed the half with a block and a layup by Andre Nation as time expired in the first half. ... The Dukes maintained their end-of-the-half momentum in the second frame, going on a 20-3 run in the first 10 minutes of the half to make it 56-23 with just over 10 minutes left. JMU put the game on auto pilot from there.
The series versus North Carolina
This will be the sixth time the Buccaneers have faced national power North Carolina ... ETSU is 0-5 all-time against UNC in the series, which dates back to 1970 ... The last time the two teams met was in 1987, a 118-65 win for the Tar Heels.
Bartow atop list of second generation coaches
Murry Bartow's coaching lineage is undeniable ... As the son of the late Gene Bartow, he had the fortunate opportunity to grow up learning from one of the most successful basketball coaches in college history ... Setting off on his own career, Bartow has carried on the family tradition of success ... His 61 percent winning percentage at ETSU makes him the winningest Buccaneers' head coach by percentage, and his 180 wins at ETSU ranks second on the Bucs' all-time list ... In addition, Bartow's 283 career victories ranks No. 1 among second generation college coaches, besting the 252 wins by John Thompson III ... Along with his father's 647 career wins, the Bartow men have combined for 931 victories, ranking fourth on the all-time win list for Father/Son coaches.
ESPN names Wilson to nation's Top 25 freshmen list
While circumstances have forced the ETSU men's basketball team to struggle in the early going this season, talented redshirt freshman forward Lester Wilson (Knoxville) has still given the Buccaneers reason for hope. ... Wilson, who is currently the nation's top freshman scorer and is averaging 19.7 points per game, was listed as one of the Top 25 freshmen in college basketball Thursday by ESPN hoops writer John Gasaway. The list – which included players such as UNLV's Anthony Bennett, UCLA's Jordan Adams, Michigan's Nik Stauskas and Duke's Rasheed Sulaimon – had Wilson ranked at No. 25. ... Currently the Atlantic Sun Conference's leading scorer, Wilson has posted four 20-plus point games so far this season. Of those contests, he scored a career high 27 points in the win over Milligan back on Nov. 29, after scoring 26 in the Bucs' previous win over Charleston Southern on Nov. 20.
Bucs get defensive in win at Charleston Southern
In their win against Charleston Southern, the Buccaneers held its opponent to just 28.8 percent shooting from the floor ... It was the first time since Feb. 26, 2009 that the Bucs have kept a team under 30 percent shooting in a game ... In that 2009 contest, ETSU held Kennesaw State to just 26.3 percent shooting from the floor.
Talented Bucs still face obstacle with experience
At no time in the tenure of ETSU head coach Murry Bartow have the Buccaneers had less experience ... Currently, the team has eight players who are eligible and healthy enough to play, of that group there is only four total years of Division I experience ... On average, that's less than a half year of experience per player ... With four freshmen and two junior college transfers that means 66 percent of the team is competing in their first season of Division I basketball.
Bucs not feeling charitable at the line
In a strange statistical anomaly, the Buccaneers have not had a free throw made against them in back-to-back games, and in fact, they did not even allow a team a free throw opportunity in their game against Milligan … Against Georgia, the Bulldogs were 0-for-1 at the charity stripe … Meanwhile, Milligan did not even attempt a free throw against the Bucs on Nov. 29 … Going back to the 1984 season, this was the first time no team has made a free throw against the Bucs, much less in back-to-back games.
Three-point streak for Bucs dates back nearly 20 years
Since Feb. 16, 1987, the Bucs have made at least one 3-pointer in 771 consecutive games. ... In that game back on Feb. 16, 1987, the Bucs were 0-for-8 in a loss to Davidson.
Junior college transfers set to power Bucs' inside game
With the signing of junior college transfers Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) and Hunter Harris (Nashville), the Bucs are hoping to have added some strength -- and beef -- to their inside game this season ... At 6-foot-5, 250 pounds, Gadsden-Gilliard is a rare combination of size and agility, while Harris is a high energy player who can rebound and block shots at a high level ... With the loss of senior post Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) for the season due to a foot injury, the expectations for Harris and KGG have only risen. ... In the win over Charleston Southern, KGG and Harris combined for 18 points and 12 rebounds.
Walton on his way up the depth chart
After playing limited minutes a year ago, forward John Walton (Memphis) has been impressing the ETSU coaching staff during the preseason and through the first five games of the 2012-13 campaign ... After hinting that Walton would demand more playing time this year, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow has started the 6-foot-7 sophomore in the Bucs' first two games this season ... at Virginia Tech, Walton responded with career highs for points (8), rebounds (5) and minutes played (30), and then bested or matched those marks with another eight points and eight rebounds in the win over Charleston Southern ... He set new career marks for points (15), rebounds (9) and minutes (30) in the win over Milligan (11/29).
ETSU picked among nation's best "Prestige" programs
Since the beginning of the modern era for NCAA Division I-A basketball – marked by the expansion of the NCAA Tournament field to 64 teams in 1984-85 – the ETSU men's basketball program ranks in the Top 30 percent of the 300 programs that were eligible for the postseason at that time, this according to ESPN.com's "Prestige" ranking released back in 2008 ... Since that time, the Bucs have only added to their list of prestigious honors … The Buccaneers -- who have enjoyed nine NCAA Tournament trips, one NIT and one CIT berth, 14 20-win seasons, and a slew of conference regular season and tournament championships since 1984-85 -- ranked tied for 82nd out of 300 teams, meaning they were in the Top 27 percent of schools making the list. ETSU was ranked ahead of every current Atlantic Sun Conference team, as well as former Southern Conference rivals Appalachian State, Western Carolina, Georgia Southern and UNC Greensboro. In addition, the Bucs ranked ahead of SEC schools such as Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Georgia, Mississippi and Auburn, as well as programs such as Virginia Tech, Notre Dame, DePaul, Bradley, Clemson, California and Florida State.
Bucs have tradition of postseason appearances, success
The ETSU men's basketball team has enjoyed its share of postseason success and ranks as one of the nation's most prestigious basketball programs ... The Buccaneers have earned berths to the NCAA Tournament nine times (1969, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010) and NIT twice (1983, 2007) ... In 2011, the Bucs made their first ever appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, winning twice and advancing to the semifinals of that event ... It was the program's 12th postseason tournament appearance all-time.
