A Conversation With Matthew Weiner
The Mad Men creator on the season finale, Joan's big decision, and how Pete Campbell takes a punch.
Elsewhere: Don't miss the Slate TV Club discussing the Mad Men finale.
I talked with Matthew Weiner today about the surprising, grim, and often very funny season of Mad Men that ended last night. I adopted the same strategy I used when I spoke to him before the season began—that is, I avoided questions about the future, knowing that the famously tight-lipped showrunner wasn't likely to tell me much about Peggy's cigarette work—or the results of Roger's second LSD trip. Instead, I asked Weiner to describe what was going through the minds of Don, Peggy, and Joan when they made their life-changing decisions this season. And of course I also asked him what was going through that conductor's mind when he socked it to Pete Campbell.
Slate: One of my colleagues in Slate's TV Club observed a few weeks ago that this season has seemed to suggest there's a trade-off between happiness and success. Don's happiness at home coincides with a period of complacency at work. In the world of Mad Men, do you need to be unhappy to succeed?
Matt Weiner: Freud defined happiness as the ability to work and to love. And of course success in your relationship is a kind of success also. Don is someone who we know always wants to work when things are bad. It's always there for him. He prefers it to everything. But concentrating on this other aspect was definitely to the detriment of his ambition.
Slate: When do you think Don got his ambition back?
Weiner: I think he's living a fantasy of having his work life and love life overlap in a way that he never expected; Megan's this person for him to grab whenever there's a dull moment at work. And when she rejects that it's very hard for him to take. She rejects him in some way—she doesn't like orange sherbet. In Episode 9, he tries to get back to work and we see that there are new horses that run faster than him and that's hard for him and he kind of rigs it. And then in Episode 10, he comes home and Megan throws that plate at the wall and says, "You used to love your work." He kind of gets the fire lit under him, and he goes back and pitches the hell out of Jaguar. But the victory is tainted. And I think he realizes that he's ambitious to the point that accomplishment is never going to be enough.
Slate: That's a point he makes during his Dow pitch, right? It almost seems like he's saying there's emptiness to success—that an ambitious person can never truly be satisfied.
Weiner: Right, happiness is the moment before you need more happiness. That is not a healthy way to think. I know he sold the hell out of it and the audience was distracted by Jon Hamm's incredible delivery and the great directing in that episode. But the words he's saying are strange.
Slate: Speaking of the sacrifices one makes in the name of ambition, perhaps the most controversial moment this season was Joan's decision to accept Jaguar's indecent proposal. Why did she make the choice she did?
Weiner: I have been a little bit surprised by people's questioning whether this was within character for her. I think she's shown an extremely pragmatic side. Both in the negative and the positive. Living with the man who raped her because he's a doctor and that was her dream. Living with his military service. Living with the fact that she's not financially taken care of. All these fantasies that she had are not there and she's pragmatically adapting to all of that. She's a person who solves problems in an unconventional way.
My anecdotal research on human behavior in this world comes from people coming up to me and telling me stories. The amount of stories I heard of this particular dynamic are in the triple digits. The only thing that's false about it is no one got a partnership out of it. They got a car or a fur or an apartment. It's not to be taken lightly, but this is a gigantic step for her in securing her future. I don't think it's outside the possibility that she's slept with a client before for nothing. When Joey was fired, she said to Peggy, "You didn't have to fire him." She said, "I would have taken Mr. Sugarberry to dinner and I could have gotten Joey off the account in a second."

I do low rows, high rows, lat pull downs and tbar rows, as well as(not sure of the name), the one where you put one knee on bench and pullup dumbbell.
I still feel like my workout is lacking tho because I have seen little to no improvement on my back physique, any suggestions to get better results?
I already do deads and squats as well, but not on back days.
Pull Ups!
Chest Supported rows
Fat Man Rows
Straight Arm pullovers
Scapular Shrugs
Prisoner Pulldowns - These take your hands right out of the movement and force all the stress on your lats.
You may want to get a pair of lifting straps so that you can take your biceps out of the movements. Check out the exercise index at Elitefts if you need descriptions of these lifts.
Muscle Pharm Rep
Just stand in front of a lat pulldown, then with your arms fully extended grab the bar. You should stay standing, Next use your lats to pull the bar down towards your hips. You should keep your arms fully extended the whole time.
Muscle Pharm Rep
Deadlifts, rack deadlifts, barbell rows, pullups, close grip pullups, reverse grip pullups, 1 arm t-bar rows, rack chins.
Focus on the exercises you can get heavy progression with.
Mate, never do lat pull downs if you can do chins! Chins are WAY more effective, especially when you move onto weighted ones! Pulldowns the easy way out
how about good exercises that take the lower back out of it? I find that i'd love to do t bar rows, deads and all that bent over stuff (no homo) but after a while my lower back is just too weak to support the weight my back can move
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM-b4qOOWsE"]YouTube - Jason Wojo Rack Chins[/ame]
These are killer
bro...do the basics! once to get some size then those fine tuning movements are fine. Lat pulls, pull ups, barbell rows, tbars, and DEAD LIFTS for christs sakes!
great exercise, try switching it up by using the cable pushdown rope...grab the rope just like you would for cable pushdowns, and rather than standing straight up, bend your knees a bit, bend over a little bit, keep your arms fully extended and pull down towards your hips, on the way up get a good stretch at the end and pull back down slowly...i usually do 3 or 4 sets of 12-15 reps at the end of my back day, one day like this and one day with the bar...
good luck building a monster back!
deads cant beat em.
you can never go wrong with wide grip pullups

01/27/2009 - Barack Obama made his opening move in the greening of America's economy yesterday, using his presidential authority to press for tougher emissions controls on cars and promising global leadership on climate change.In signing a pair of executive orders, Obama delivered his strongest repudiation to date of the policies of George Bush, inviting environmentalists to the White House to announce that America would play a global leadership role on climate change. In a further sign of Obama's commitment to the green agenda, the state department yesterday named Todd Stern, a former Clinton administration official who played a key role in the Kyoto negotiations, as its envoy on climate change...."Amidst the array of challenges facing his administration, President Obama's actions today send a clear signal to America and the world that his administration will play a leadership role on energy and global warming," said Phyllis Cuttino, director of the Pew Environment Group's global warming campaign.Read the complete article Obama Presses for Tougher Controls on US Car Emissions on The Guardian's Web site.

Meerkats: They're Cuter Than SlothsHere, proof that these small relatives of the mongoose have supernatural cheer-up qualities.
By Amy Shearn
Photo: Flickr User rofanator
Cats are cute. Sloths are super cute. But on those really dark days, those bluer-than-blue days, when your boss sends you off with a "Do it over," someone lets the door slam in your face in the exact moment that your paper shopping bag disintegrates and then even your cheer-up hot cocoa explodes in the microwave, you need something more. You need meerkats.
They Wear Eye ShadowThose big dark eyes. That head-furze. The ears. Makes sense that this baby meerkat is taking cuteness seriously—these animals reach maturity at age 1, so they have to maximize their youthful good looks while they can. Flickr user rofanator knows how capture meerkat action.

Opening statement
I'm kind of sorry you had to watch that‐ it was an ugly game. Fortunately both teams were ugly. You can't give Kansas a 20‐point lead on your home court and expect to play perfectly and win the game. The only thing I can say is we didn't throw in the towel. We had some opportunities.
On Khris Middleton's play
He was big for us. We played him at the 4, and it was a mismatch at times. I thought that was key. And defensively we picked up our energy finally when we started to make some shots.
Was the missed three by Kinsley what you wanted on that play near the end of the game?
No, we were trying to drive the ball. We had a small line up in the game and we wanted him to drive the ball or shoot the three, which we think he had an opportunity to make.
On having Dash Harris back
It was good to see Dash back out there. He moved pretty well and played 24 minutes, and down the last stretch. Defensively I thought he did a pretty good job at the top of our defense.
On Elijah Johnson's play
That's the mark of a good team that has talented players. Elijah is a good players. We took a chance to take Robinson away and leave him open‐ but he's a good player ad stepped up and made shots.
On Loubeau fouling out
It was a loss not having him. But I thought Ray Turner defensively did a really good job down the stretch.
What made it tough to play against Kansas' defense?
We just didn't take smart shots, we rushed up, took quick shots that weren't good team looks, and it put us in a hole. We can't play against top‐10 teams or any team playing behind like that.
How do you evaluate your game tonight?
I'm never satisfied with anything. It was just good to be out there tonight with my teammates. I just wanted to wait until I was healthy enough to do some of the things I do best, which is run the floor and play hard defensively. And I think I was able to do some of those things tonight.
On Kansas having big plays, and Tyshawn Taylor's three‐point play late
They had a lot of big plays. That was a big momentum swing for them. It broke our momentum‐ it was a big play. Rebounding the ball, missing free throws, everything is a big play down the stretch.
What were you guys doing during the comeback?
Just playing hard, playing our game and trying to get stops.
What was your role out there tonight?
I was just trying to play my game, get in the zone and play some team basketball and find my teammates. I was just trying to make things happen.
Was this one of those games where you just can't make shots?
You know I don't know. I thought that we had a couple of key players play miserably the first half and kind of got it going a little in the second half. They played better and we played awful down the stretch.
Was it you playing bad or A&M playing well that sparked A&M's comeback?
I think it's a combination. I think that A&M played pretty good down the stretch. They shot 50 percent in the second half. Middleton got on a roll, Dash got a big three. I think we helped them though.
On the team making bad plays but having a decent end to the game
No, we actually did okay tonight he last couple of minutes considering key players didn't play. The last couple of minutes we didn't play great obviously, we didn't make free throws, but I don't think it was us turning us over, but us making bad plays.
On Thomas Robinson's technical foul
Inexcusable. As bad a play as I've seen.
O n Elijah Johnson's play
Elijah was great in the first half. I didn't realize he had 18 until I got to the stat sheet. When your second leading scorer has four, that's obviously not great.
On Tyshawn Taylor's play
He can go get in the paint and get his own shot‐ he needs to start getting more shots for his teammates. But I think he's as good as it gets in the country when it comes to getting your shoulder past people.
On Elijah Johnson's first half…
"He was huge. He got us off to a good start and shot the ball well. We had kind of been waiting for him to get going. It was good for him to get a little bit of confidence going into a big game on Saturday."
Is it frustrating that A&M cut your lead down so much?
"For sure. We were up 21 with 14 minutes left in the game and you've got to be able to put teams away when you're up that much. We made the game interesting. It was good that we pulled that out but we shouldn't have let it get that close after we had such a big lead."
What happened to cause the A&M run?
"They went to a match‐up, and Thomas got in foul trouble, he was sitting on the bench. We just weren't hitting shots all night, besides Elijah, he was the only one making some shots. You have to credit their defense—we know they're a good defensive team, they were p h ysical with our bigs and pressuring the ball and stuff like that. We were getting looks but we just weren't hitting them. Khris Middleton played amazing in that second half. He sparked them a little bit. You've got to be able to withstand runs and make your own, and we didn't. They made a huge run and if we hadn't had a 20‐point lead that game could have gone either way."

Hi all! I'm new on the 3Dstudio.com. I'm Ranez. I'm 15 years (almost 16!) old and I live in The Netherlands. I am doing 3D modelling for a couple of years. I made in that period a lot of 3D models. One time I thought about it to delete them all, because it is a waste of space. Then I heard about selling it on the internet! I immediately made an account on the 3Dstudio. I picked an old bookcase model and I refined it so it was good for selling! I rendered a few images, exported the file and then, finally... I put it on the online!=D My Bookcase! http://www.the3dstudio.com/product_details.aspx?id_product=232384 I am really happy to see my 3Dmodel, as a real product online:)! Now it's time to refine some other old models and make new ones, so I can put more online! I just have to wait that someone buys my bookcase..
PS. Is it possible to accept Custom Requests?
Thanks for reading,

been certified Organic by Quality Assurance
With the news earlier this year that unapproved GM wheat was found in a farmer's field in Oregon, we decided to test our wheat products also for the presence of GMOs. Learn more about our GMO-Tested program here.

Customer Comment:
What a wonderful experience purchasing my grains through Tropical Traditions! My husband surprised me with a family grain mill for my birthday. Unfortunately, he didn't think of the grains : ) I quickly placed my order with you. Not only were the grains priced well and shipped quickly (they arrived 2 days earlier than thought), but they were of superior quality. I can't wait to do business again with Tropical Traditions! Thank you!!! Jacquie - Clermont, FL
With the news earlier this year that unapproved GM wheat was found in a farmer's field in Oregon, we decided to test our wheat products also for the presence of GMOs. Learn more about our GMO-Tested program here. View test report here. ORGANIC SOFT WHITE WINTER WHEAT WHOLE GRAIN Wheat, Soft White Winter is used primarily for cake or "pastry" flour. Its lower protein and gluten content make for a light flour and a tender baked good.
View test report here ORGANIC HARD RED SPRING WHEAT WHOLE GRAIN Wheat, Hard Red Spring, grown in the northern plains, usually western North Dakota. Contains about 14% protein and a stronger gluten content. Great for making breads!
ORGANIC HULLED SPELT WHOLE GRAIN Spelt, hulled "triticum spelta" is the scientific name for this old grain originally grown in southeast Asia and later brought to Europe and latter yet to the U.S. It varies from wheat, "triticum sativum" in a number of ways, but its digestibility is the most important to many who cannot tolerate "sativum." Its very strong hull must be mechanically removed.
ORGANIC HULLED BARLEY WHOLE GRAIN Barley (hulled) is not stripped of its bran layer and so it higher in fiber than pearled barley. Some call it scotch barley or pot barley. It can be cooked as you would rice and used in pilafs, or cooked in soups and stews. Some roast and grind it for a coffee substitute.
ORGANIC HULLED MILLET WHOLE GRAIN - GLUTEN FREE Millet (hulled) is a common food to many people around the world. It has a high protein content and is excellent grain to add for variety. It cooks rapidly as a whole grain and can be used as a cereal as well as a stuffing, a side dish or blended into other dishes. Its mild flavor also makes it applicable to dessert dishes. Gluten free!
ORGANIC RYE WHOLE GRAIN Rye, once a weed in a wheat field, is still a low profile grain but with many uses. Coarsely ground as rye meal for bread or boiled like rice for cereal or other dishes it has a chewy texture. It mills quickly and easily, as it is a soft grain.
Oats provide high quality, well-balanced protein. Thick Rolled Oats and other whole grain oats are a good source of soluble fiber. Tropical Traditions Thick Rolled Oats are most commonly used for oatmeal, and cook in about 15 minutes. Thick Rolled Oats can also be used in granola and of course oatmeal cookies.

More information about You Me At Six tickets
YOU ME AT SIX have confirmed the release of the second single to be taken from their forthcoming album `Cavalier Youth' and a headline tour for next spring. `Fresh Start Fever' is released on 20th January and is the follow up to the band's biggest hit to date - `Lived A Lie' - which entered the charts at No. 11 in September. The band are currently on tour with Thirty Seconds To Mars where they have played to an amazing 250,000 people in Europe and the UK, and these will be their first UK headlining shows since they played a tremendous sold out show at Wembley almost a year ago.

Anybody else get into the My Player mode on 2k11. I enjoyed it in 2k10 so I decided to make one of my favorite college players who didn't make the draft this year, JP Prince form Tennessee.
So I started out as a 6'7'' athletic point guard and so far it has been pretty easy to make an impact. I am usually playing at the top of the key on defense where the other point guard is hanging out. Any time I see a bad shot go up I break for the other end and hope somebody passes me the ball. This works way too well and I score about half my points off these type of breaks.
After a little draft combine play I was picked 23rd overall by the Timberwolves. I made it through the summer circuit and went straight to playing in the NBA. Being 6'7'' the Wolves were constantly playing me at the 2 so I demanded a trade. I ended up with the Jazz again playing the 2 this time next to Deron Williams. I demanded a trade again trying to get shipped off to the Bobcats, but this time I landed with the Lakers.
Not where I was hoping to end up but being on the Lakers has it's perks. P Gasol makes it pretty easy to get assist as the point guard. I am worried that if I demand a trade again I will end up on some crap team like the T-Wolves.

Although we are almost at the end of December, I highly recommend you wannabe mixologists make a cocktail entitled November. Created by Scott Baird, a dear friend, owner of 15 Romolo, and one of San Francisco's foremost bartenders, this concoction won the Nirvino Navan cocktail competition at Swig.
If you've never tried Navan, a natural vanilla liqueur, get your hands on a bottle stat! It's a great mixing liquor that can be used in both sweet and savory applications. This well-balanced, delicious cocktail balances out the Navan with a smoky scotch, while apple juice adds freshness.
To look at the recipe and check out a fabulous exclusive video of the bearded Baird making the cocktail, read more.

THE HUNDRED OF BOUNTISBOROUGH Footnotes
containing the parishes of Godsfield (extra-parochial); Itchen Abbas; Itchen Stoke (with Abbotstone); Swarraton (fn. 1)
In the Domesday Survey Bountisborough is found under the name of 'Mantesberge Hundred.' (fn. 2) At this time it included Itchen Abbas, Itchen Stoke, Abbotstone, Ovington, Wield and 'Stradfelle.' (fn. 3) Swarraton is not mentioned by name in the Domesday Survey, but 3 hides 3 virgates held by Hugh de Port of the Abbot of Hyde in the hundred of Micheldever (fn. 4) were at Swarraton (fn. 5) and continued to be included in the hundred of Micheldever (fn. 6) until comparatively modern times. There is no mention of Godstield in the Domesday Survey. The 'Stradfelle' mentioned is probably Stratfield Mortimer, in Berkshire, but is now difficult to identify. (fn. 7) Before 1316 Ovington and Wield had been included in Fawley Hundred. (fn. 8)
Index Map to the Hundred Bountisborough
At the time of Edward the Confessor the whole hundred of Bountisborough was assessed at 35½ hides, and at the time of the Domesday Survey at 19½ hides. (fn. 9) In 1316 Bountisborough included the parishes of Abbotstone, Itchen Abbas, and Itchen Stoke and part of Swarraton, (fn. 10) and has not greatly changed since except that the extra-parochial district of Godsfield has been included in the hundred. From the 14th century the whole of Bountisborough Hundred was Crown property. (fn. 11) During the Commonwealth the Parliamentary Commissioners took a survey of the hundred as part of the possessions of 'Charles Stuart, late king of England.'
This survey mentions that a court was held twice yearly at the usual place, but the name of this place is not stated. (fn. 12)

Totally agree. I like Sasha Grey, and I liked a couple parts of the movie, but otherwise it did nothing for me. It was kind of boring.
Young Frankenstein is genius. Man, I love Gene Wilder.Also watched Young Frankenstein. Just an awesome collection of jokes, puns, gags, word play, sight gags. Love it. Also Blazing Saddles, great friggin' movie.
You have academic essays on Hitchcock movies??? Or do you take orders for them? I'd like some on North by Northwest, Vertigo, and Psycho please.
Cary Grant was mother****ing sexy in the day!!! I don't care if he was possibly bi or homosexual. The whole time we watched Notorious I kept on saying "Hawt!!" at the tv.
I've seen Rebecca and have read the book. It is one of my favorites.
Yes, Adgy is deficient in his Hitchcock movies but it's a fun process to get him caught up. We watched The Lady Vanishes a few months back, I thought it was pretty funny.
Rope is pretty amazing. I didn't realize it was the 40's, I always assumed it was much later. The movie has only one obvious cut. The rest of the film is made to look like one long tracking shot (though they do cut by moving past a bookshelf or person about every 8 minutes as that is the amount of film a camera could hold back then).
I'm also a fan of the remake of The Man Who Knew to Much.
Just watched F is for Fake. It's a pseudo documentry by Orson Welles. It's about the nature and validity of frauds and fakes in the world. And what makes something fake? It's a mind trip. By the end you truly feel mind ****ed. The acting and the writing are excellent. It's pretty damn good. There is a Criterion release of it. Also netflix streams it.
Anyone seen this film?
Rope is suspenseful as hell and is a great style experiment of essentially making a film-play. It's so smooth and works so well.
The James Stewart/Doris Day version of the Man Who Too Much is definitely much better than the original. But gotta give the original props for being Peter Lorre's first English speaking role.
Prince George: You know, Blackadder, for me socks are like sex. Lots of it about and I never seem to get any.
Well, as a college student, I have access to all these databases, which are like a candy store to me. I often look for sources for my papers, but because I am such a nerd, I procrastinate by looking up for academic essays based on random stuff that I like, including films.
If you want a good source on Psycho, however, you can check out "Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho" by Stephen Rebello.
"The women who knew too much: Hitchcock and Feminist Theory"
by Tania Modleski is also a very interesting look at several Hitch films through a feminist lens.
That's a good start.
I have never heard of Grant having the Gayness. Laurence Olivier yes, but not Grant. Lol! However, I wouldn't be surprised if he was. He was really good in Arsenic and Old Lace too.
I love the film and watch it at least once a year, but have never read the book. I really should. In fact, I think that the only book that served as the basis for a Hitch film that I have read is Psycho. I want to read the book that served as the basis for Strangers on a Train, which I am sure was written by the same woman who wrote the novel that served as the basis for The Talented Mr. Ripley (seen the film, but haven't read that novel either).
The Lady Vanishes IS really funny. I finally got around to watching my first silent Hitch film, The Lodger, which was pretty interesting. Hitch worked alongside Fritz Lang for a while and The Lodger definitely channeled Lang. I think that The Lady Vanishes and The 39 Steps, however, are the first films when Hitch begins to find his voice.

Aortopulmonary window is a rare heart defect in which there is a hole in between the aorta and pulmonary artery. Because of this hole, blood from the aorta rushes into the pulmonary artery and too much blood flows through the lungs. This condition happens during the development of the baby's heart and is present at birth.

Akiha Tohno (遠野 秋葉, Tōno Akiha?) is the younger sister of Shiki and the head of the prestigious Tohno family and a student of the elite Asagami Private Girls Academy.
Born into the prestigious Tohno family, Akiha lived a sheltered childhood under the strict supervision of her father Makihisa Tohno and was seldom allowed to go outside the mansion to play. She was also subconsciously afraid of her brother SHIKI, despite the fact that he never did anything wrong, because she felt that he was different and something was wrong with him. When Shiki Nanaya was adopted into the family, she initially disliked him because he had the same name as her brother. One day while she quietly waited for her tutor to arrive, Shiki took her hand, inviting her to play with him and SHIKI and Hisui, the other children at the mansion. Thanks to Shiki she was able to experience at least some semblance of the joys of childhood. Unfortunately, not soon afterward Shiki was near fatally wounded in an accident and was sent by Makihisa to live with the Arimas, relatives from another branch of the family. Akiha tried to visit Shiki at the Arima house several times early on, but pressure from her father and other relatives, in addition to Shiki's constant visits to the hospital, prevented their meeting. Contact was made all but impossible when Akiha was placed in a boarding school and she was forced to live on the campus. Akiha also states that she sent Shiki many letters, but because he was ordered by Makihisa to never speak to Akiha again, he never replied.
Some time later, Akiha and Hisui learned that Makihisa raped Kohaku daily in order to maintain his demon blood. Akiha decided to free Kohaku from Makihisa and live as a normal maid. Upon the death of Makihisa, Akiha became the head of the Tohno household and, ignoring protests from the remaining relatives, called Shiki back to live at the family mansion with her.
Akiha is very protective of her brother. She is always intent on knowing what he does with his day, and is extremely suspicious of what he does at night. She gets incredibly jealous when he is around other girls. The constant supervision by his little sister sometimes bears hard on Shiki, but she only watches over him because she worries so much about him. Despite her general peevishness, she really is a sweet girl at heart.
Her father remarked in his journal that Akiha's Tohno blood was of the weaker sort and she could live as a normal human if she wished it. But that changed when Shiki's life was threatened in the "accident" from eight years earlier. She was outside playing with Shiki, her adopted brother, and her real brother, also named SHIKI. But the Tohno blood was much stronger in her real brother and he inverted to his non-human form. In this uncontrollable state, he lost control of himself and attempted to attack Akiha. Shiki jumped in the way to protect her and took the full force of the attack. Shiki died protecting Akiha, but Akiha used powers granted to her by her non-human blood to give him half of her life, allowing him to survive. After the incident, her true brother SHIKI was locked away so that he could never again hurt someone and Akiha severed all ties with him and has since said that Shiki, her adopted brother, is the only person she will ever call her brother. Due to this accident, she needs twice the amount of heat of an average person because she is supporting both her own life and Shiki's. To make up for her increased demand, she must absorb heat from others. She can take this heat in through various means, even by simply absorbing their body heat through contact, but the most efficient method is by drinking fresh blood (as seen when she sucks Kohaku's blood in a scene from the game). Because of the strain on her body this causes, she often experiences attacks of intense pain that can last from a few minutes to several hours. But Akiha bears them bravely, knowing that it is all for the sake of her beloved brother.
Though she tries to conceal it, Akiha called her brother back because she truly loves him and wanted to be near him no matter how much it might alienate her from the rest of the family. She is incredibly shy about her feelings, even acting in complete contradiction to them on occasion. But to her, Shiki is the most important person in the world.
She is very self-conscious about her flat chest and it later causes lots of running gags in later sequels like Kagetsu Tohya.
Akiha has long black hair (that turns red in her Crimson Red Vermillion form) decorated with a white hairband. During school she wears the standard Asagami uniform, even when she later transfers to Shiki's school. Her casual clothes consists on a white shirt with a red ribbon on the necktie and a long red skirt.
Arcueid's routeEdit
Because the events of Arcueid (and Ciel) keep Shiki away from the Tohno mansion, Akiha is merely a supporting character. Nearly the end of the route, she reveals to Shiki that he was adopted.
In the anime, based on that route, Akiha has a secondary role and she remains as Shiki's stoic yet caring sister, who wants to keep the awful truths about their past to Shiki. She scolds him over everything, from his manners to coming back home at late hours. However, Kohaku (who is very close to Akiha) reveals to Shiki that despite her stoic demeanor, Akiha is pleased by Shiki's return. Like Arcueid, she dislikes Ciel, realizing that she is not human. After Shiki, who went to the amusement park with Arcueid, Ciel, Satsuki and Akiha; she and Ciel have a discussion after Ciel remarks that Akiha is not human. When Shiki returns home, Akiha collapses shortly after a conversation with him. He later witnesses as Akiha is taking blood from Kohaku's breast. After Arcueid tells Shiki that Roa reincarnates in the bodies of families with inhuman characteristics, Shiki misunderstands it and believes that Akiha might be Roa. Akiha's hair turns red, after that. Despite Akiha's efforts in hiding the truth from Shiki, thanks to intervention from Kohaku and Hisui, Shiki discovers about SHIKI and the truths from his childhood.
In the manga, she has the same protective role towards Shiki than in the anime. However, there is one slight difference in the way Shiki remembers his past: After he recalls how there was another boy in his childhood and how he had killed him, SHIKI appears and attacks him. Shiki is saved by Akiha and Kohaku and the two siblings have a confrontation about Shiki. After Akiha tells him that she does not ackwnowledge him as her brother anymore and that Shiki is her brother now, an enraged SHIKI tries to attack her but she is protected by Ciel. She explains to Akiha that her true brother is Roa's current incarnation, much to Akiha's shock who had no idea about it. After those events, Akiha remains as a supportive character.
Ciel's routeEdit
Similar to Arcueid's route, she plays a supportive route and does not seem to like Ciel.
Akiha's routeEdit
Shiki returns to the Tohno house after years. He fondly remembers the times he spent with his sister Akiha. He also feels guilty because of the strict upbringing she received after he had to left the Tohno house. Unfortunately for Shiki, his reunion with Akiha is not exactly as he had hoped it to be. She is cold and distant to him, immediately demanding that he adopt a lifestyle befitting of the eldest son of the Tohno family. Akiha scolds Shiki over everything, which causes him to believe that she might bear a significant grudge over his absence the last eight years. When Shiki goes to school, he realizes that his classmate Satsuki is gone. Later it is revealed that she was turned into a vampire by SHIKI.
When Shiki, who had just crossed ways with Satsuki, returns home he is scolded by Akiha but she later treats his wounds. The next day, Shiki decides to confront the vampire Satsuki after he promises to Akiha that he would come back home safe. Satsuki tries to turn him into a vampire to be with her forever, and it that moment Shiki realizes his feelings for Akiha and their promise. Motivated by it, he kills Satsuki, although regretfully. When he returns home, he notices that Akiha was waiting for him the whole time and chastises him for returning wounded.
Akiha decides to spend more time with Shiki by joining into the same school at him. Like Arcueid, she does not like Ciel. It is revealed through the route that Akiha often struggles to maintain control over her Tohno blood and resisting her Inversion Impulse, which she has difficulty with due to her also maintaining Shiki's life, to the point she also had to drink Kohaku's blood. When Ciel vanishes, Akiha reveals to Shiki that she always knew that Ciel was different and she was unnafected by her hypnosis. Due to the recent killings in the city recently, Shiki believes that Akiha might be the vampire who did it and goes to the Tohno house. When he arrives, he sees Akiha unconscious and that SHIKI is there. He tells him that he went to take Akiha "back with him" and reveals to Shiki all the truths of their childhood. However, Akiha regains consciousness and protects Shiki. The two have a confrontation about Shiki, only for Akiha to say in his face that Shiki is her brother now and that she does not consider SHIKI as her brother anymore. SHIKI is angered of this revelation and aims to kill him, but Akiha protects Shiki and takes the attack. This causes Shiki to have a homicidal impulse and cut SHIKI's lines.
After that, Akiha and Shiki talk in her room, where she tells him that in fact, Shiki was adopted after SHIKI killed him and due to it, their minds are connected and he took a part of his life (she also tells him that she believes that one of the causes of their connection might be related to the fact Shiki and SHIKI used to be best friends when younger). Then, she starts having spasms and her hair turns red. Akiha confesses to Shiki that she was aware from the begginning that he is not her real brother, but she felt that it was the only way for her to be with him. However, Shiki reassures her that he loves her as a sister and a woman and they kiss and have sex together. After this, SHIKI is filled with jealousy and reveals to Shiki that Akiha has been maintaining his life since he died eight years ago. Akiha is later kidnapped by SHIKI.
Later, when Shiki comes to the abandoned room in order to confront SHIKI and save Akiha, he discovers that SHIKI turned her into a mindless, blood sucking creature. Both fight and Shiki manages to debilitate him. However, at the last moment, Shiki hesitates to kill him so SHIKI uses the last of his energy to return to the abandoned house and see Akiha. Surprisingly, Akiha, now a mindless monster, kills SHIKI by ripping his heart off and runs away. He is left with the choice to kill her and save her from her suffering or to let her live in her current state.
In Akiha's Normal Ending, Shiki decides to allow her to live on as the demon that she currently is (because Shiki cannot bring himself to kill her). This results in Akiha's Normal Ending, where Shiki maintains Akiha at the abandoned room and tries to contain her blood lust by himself, by routinely letting her painfully bite him and suck his blood out of the wound, all the while hoping that someday she will find herself again.
If Shiki decides to kill her to end her suffering (which she requested for him to do if she ever became like this) it gives no special ending and is considered a bad end.
In Akiha's True Ending, he decides to kill himself instead (so that she will regain the life energy she gave Shiki when he died eight years ago, and then will be restored to her full strength so she can more easily resist her Tohno blood impulses and restore her mind). With this, Akiha's True Ending is obtained, in which Akiha regains her sanity and when she wakes up, she realizes what Shiki did. Akiha is able to live a normal life and returns to her old school. One day, she goes to the place where he died and sees Shiki's Nanatsu Yoru knife. Despite the fact that Shiki should be dead, Akiha touches the knife and senses deep inside her that there still seems to be a faint heartbeat that is not her own. She recognizes this as a sign that Shiki is still somehow alive somewhere, and that as long as she feels it, she has hope, and declares that she will faithfully await his return.In Kagetsu Tohya, a 'sequel' scenario to Akiha's True Ending can be unlocked where at the end of the scenario, Akiha receives a letter from Ciel that reveals that Shiki did infact survive.
Hisui's routeEdit
It is revealed that she always knew that Kohaku was planning her revenge on the Tohno family, but felt that since her family has wronged Kohaku to an incredible degree she ought to be at least given a chance.
In Hisui's True Ending, she dies while protecting Kohaku with her body from SHIKI. Despite Kohaku expected for Akiha to sacrifice herself and was rather willing to let it happen just for the sake of her revenge, her death causes a great impact on Kohaku, as she was her close friend. Before commiting suicide, Kohaku realizes she keeps bringing tea to Akiha's room, even after she has died.
In Hisui's Good Ending, she is only injured in her arm by SHIKI and she is later treated and survives.
Kohaku's routeEdit
Akiha successfully tracks down and kills SHIKI before Shiki even starts having dreams visions of him, and is happy that she was able to protect Shiki from having to face all the pains from their past. However, due to SHIKI's ability of immortality and the nature of Akiha's powers, SHIKI is able to give Akiha one final curse before he dies. He transfers the burden of his madness caused by the inversion impulse of his Tohno blood over to her when Akiha absorbs his energy to kill him. After this, Akiha begins to slowly succumb to the Tohno blood, despite her originally being quite capable of controlling it. She synchronizes with Kohaku in an attempt to suppress this, but it is not enough, since she now has SHIKI's bloodlust itself. Even though she does not kill them, she begins hunting for victims on the streets at night in SHIKI's place because she cannot control herself.
This madness also affects her mentality, and she soon becomes single mindedly obsessed with Shiki, to the point where she threatens to take back the life she gave him if he does not declare that he loves her. Shiki admits that he came back to the Tohno Mansion to be with her again, but he also came back to fulfill a promise he made to Kohaku, who is the one he truly is in love with (at least in this route). He only loves her as a sister, and Akiha has deteriorated to the point where she decides if she cannot have him, she will not let anyone else have him.
In Kohaku's True Ending, Shiki synchronizes with Kohaku to gain strength, and engages Akiha in a climatic battle. But just as he is about to kill her, he finds himself unable to, since no matter what, she is still his sister (if he kills her, it is considered a Bad Ending and Kohaku also dies). Shiki's display of love for Akiha, combined with Kohaku saying she forgives the Tohno family, is able to move her enough that she regains control over herself. She recovers and is able to live a normal life, albeit still having to deal with the desire to drink blood, which she quenches by drinking blood packs ordinarily used for transfusions.
Kagetsu TohyaEdit
She remains as a supportive character, but she is the protagonist of the side story A Story for the Evening, which is the continuation of Akiha's True Ending in Tsukihime. Tsukasa Shijyou, a classmate of Akiha, placed a curse on her due to an urban legend, but is afraid she'll find out, and attempts to kill Akiha by knocking her off two stories from the roof. Akiha survives due to her super-human abilities and Tsukasa comes in the night to kill her with a knife, but Akiha yet again survives and knocks out Tsukasa. After resolving the mystery, Akiha receives a letter from Ciel, that informs that she saved Shiki from death and that he would return by the end of the year.
Melty BloodEdit
Carnival PhantasmEdit
Akiha has a number of roles in Carnival Phantasm as one of the heroines of Tsukihime. Her tsundere personality is comically exaggerated and she is very conscious about her flat chest, becoming very violent if someone (Shiki) points it out. If she is angered, she becomes Vermillion Akiha (with Shiki as her usual target). In the Phantasmoon segment, she apears as the main villain, an evil youkai.
The Caging Hair (檻髪, Origami?) is the ability of Akiha; it is a cursed field of plundering that is effective in the range of her field of vision. Being a half-demon, she can "plunder" the heat (lifeforce) from a living creature she can see, but the maximum output relies on time (on how long she keeps plundering heat). At the same time is it a double-edged sword as she can plunder someones entire concept with it as well. The ability of interfering with the outside world is rare, even within the Tohno family. On the other hand is she also able to share her own lifeforce with others and can so animate a dead animal/human or non-living object and use it as a servant.
Akiha can start up the plundering once she has confirmed her target, and people who have a spiritual perception will see it as red strands (her hair's true shade) wrapping around the target and charring. In addition to becoming red, her long hair can extend and become a menacing weapon. She is able to control its movements and use it to absorb heat directly from anything it comes into contact with. The drawing out of the heat produces a powerful burning sensation on the surface of the object, causing some viewers of her abilities to believe that she was simply setting things on fire. It does not actually burn the target, as it doesn't affect the target's clothes and stops burning as soon as Akiha stops plundering lifeforce from the target. At its maximum, the red strands cover the target as well as the entire area the target is in, making it impossible to escape - hence the name, caging hair. The hair, in this form, is incredibly fast and can strike an object as quickly as Akiha can look at it, but Akiha herself cannot see them, as she has no special mystic eyes.
It is an absolute offensive ability against a normal person who doesn't have any spiritual defense, but it won't be any more of a hindrance than a large spider web to someone with a spiritual status on a whole different league such as Arcueid Brunestud, or a Heroic Spirit. Although, with support, she could use it as shackles to restrain beings of that level.
The power of a Crimson Red Vermillion can be seen through the Arc-Drives of Akiha and Kouma Kishima in Melty Blood. Kouma is closer to the state of Crimson Red Vermillion than Akiha, but she is fundamentally superior in terms of functioning in the state of Crimson Red Vermillion.[1] Normal individuals lose their sanity while progressing towards the status of Crimson Red Vermillion, but Akiha has managed to still have enough reserve to hold onto her sanity due to her superior quality as a Half Blood.[2] Absorbing Roa's soul after killing SHIKI in Kohaku's route increases her power and gives her better control over her Tohno blood, allowing her to hide her red hair color. It is initially hard to control, causing her to go on her obsessive rampage over Shiki, but she gains control over it afterward. Its strength weakened upon transferring to her, so she is only made more strong-willed and honest from its influence.
- ↑
Plus Period - Crimson Red Vermilion (Term) Crimson Red Vermilion (Term) A term refers to the moment at which an individual of mixed lineage maximally awakens the non-human blood that is slumbering within him. House Tohno and its branch houses refer to it as Crimson Red Vermilion, other houses refer to it as Reversion. Akiha has a high probability of becoming Crimson Red Vermilion due to her high degree of Oni taint. You can get a glimpse of Crimson Red Vermilion through Tohno Akiha and Kishima Kouma's Arc Drive. At the current stage, Kouma is closer to Crimson Red Vermilion, but fundamentally Akiha is superior as Crimson Red Vermilion.
- ↑ "Normally, individuals lose their sanity while progressing towards Crimson Red Vermillion, but Akiha seems to still have enough reserve to hold onto her sanity. This is probably due to her superior quality as a Half Blood." (本来なら紅赤朱化が進んだ時点で理性を失うのだが、秋葉にはまだ余裕があるらしい。これも高い素質のなせる 事だろう。)

I'm watching Million Dollar Baby and Morgan Freeman's character had a nice quote in there that said "To make a fighter you gotta strip them down to bare wood: you can't just tell 'em to forget everything you know if you gotta make 'em forget even their bones... make 'em so tired they only listen to you, only hear your voice, only do what you say and nothing else... show 'em how to keep their balance and take it away from the other guy... how to generate momentum off their right toe and how to flex your knees when you fire a jab... how to fight backin' up so that the other guy doesn't want to come after you. Then you gotta show 'em all over again. Over and over and over... till they think they're born that way." In fact there are a handful of them in this that I like which gave me the idea to post this.

Didmo: One way to get your small-business apps discovered
With apps all the rage, small businesses want to get in on the action too. But it's anything but easy.
Relatively few small companies have the resources to build and market their own apps. I've written about services that offer the ability to quickly and easily put together a smartphone app. Now one of those companies, Didmo, is offering a way to get the word out on its newly created app.
Last week, Didmo unveiled a partnership with Constant Contact, an email marketing services provider, which could potentially help answer the issue of discoverability.

Analysis of the results shows that Somatoprim demonstrated a dose-dependent effect on lowering excess growth hormone (hGH) on treatment-naïve patients suffering from acromegaly. No serious adverse events were reported and the reported adverse events were mild to moderate and of transient nature.
Carsten Dehning, CEO of Aspireo said: "The result of this clinical study provides proof-of-concept that Somatoprim has the potential to be a safe and effective treatment for acromegaly. An analysis of the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic relationship gives us further valuable insight into the dose dependent effectiveness of Somatoprim in reducing growth hormone secretion."
About Somatoprim
Somatoprim (DG3173) is a novel and proprietary somatostatin analog (SSA) that is based on a novel amino acid composition. Somatoprim has demonstrated a unique receptor binding and pharmacological profile which is significantly differentiated from SSAs that are currently marketed or in clinical development. In particular, Somatoprim has shown an improved side effect profile with reduced adverse effects on the gastrointestinal tract and glucose metabolism. Furthermore, assessment of growth hormone secretion in cultured human somatotroph adenoma tissue treated with Somatoprim indicates that it has the potential to increase the response rate of acromegalic patients to SSA therapy. Somatoprim is currently in phase I/II of clinical development. Somatostatin analogs have been approved for the treatment of acromegaly, carcinoid tumours, and Cushing's disease but have also demonstrated significant potential in diabetic retinopathy. Somatostatin analogs are generating more than USD 1.5 billion in annual sales in a continually growing market.
About Aspireo
Aspireo Pharmaceuticals Ltd is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of a novel somatostatin analog (SSA) for the treatment of diseases resulting from hormone-active tumors, such as acromegaly, neuroendocrine and gastroenteropancreatic tumors, Cushing's Disease and diabetic retinopathy. Aspireo's sole development compound is Somatoprim (DG3173), a novel and proprietary somatostatin analog that is based on a novel amino acid composition and a unique backbone cyclization technology used for stabilization of the peptide. Aspireo is an Israeli company established in 2010 by TVM Capital as a Project Focused Company (PFC). For additional information please visit www.aspireopharma.com.

We have a few drawings where the lineweights between paper space and model space vary on plots.
ie a line on Layer 1 in model space plots heavier/darker than a line on Layer 1 in paper space.
Why is this happening?
I can think of two possible causes:
No overrides.
In the layer properties, everything matches between paper and vp settings. Unless there is another setting somewhere I have not noticed? (please let the answer be this simple)
This has happened in the past on acad and ldd programs so its not limited to C3d. Not all drawings do this, but some. Makes me think it is a drawing setting somewhere.
HI Isimms,
What happens if you change plot scale. Does the lineweight changes? If it does, then check your Plot dialog and the "scale lieweight" toggle setting.
Not that either.
Keep the guesses coming. Sooner or later there will be the right one.
Did you ever figure out what was causing your issue? I have the same thing going on in my drawing.
Sorry, no answer for you.
It may be a plotter setting issue. (?)
Lately I have been plotting to pdf, not a plt file or direct plot. Have not had it happen since.
You can try this, but it didn't help for me. (at the time it was c3d 2008, maybe in later versions this is the answer)
I would be very interested in finding the answer even though I have not had that happen recently.

NewsCreditors reject Catalyst debt plan, company up for sale
Wednesday, May 23, 2012 - 3:30 PM Creditors of Catalyst Paper have rejected a plan of arrangement to restructure the company's finances, President and CEO Kevin Clarke confirmed Wednesday. Clarke explained that the company's three mills on Vancouver Island will operate as usual while Catalyst enters a court-approved process of selling its assets. "It means that the solicitation process goes forward," he said. "I'm really not that concerned about that." The First Lien 2016 bondholders, which have the right to most of the assets, will now enter into a stalking horse bid and endeavour to "buy the company, they want the asset," he explained. That means they'll exchange a minimum of $275 million worth of their debt for ownership of the company and assets they've declared. Others will be allowed to make offers and then the 2016 bondholders can counter those bids. "That basically says the company is not going to be liquidated, it's not going to be broken up, it's not going to disappear." Clarke also confirmed the 2016 bondholders voted almost 100 per cent in favour of the debt restructuring plan May 23, but the unsecured noteholders voted it down by about 36 per cent. Clarke said he would be in meetings all day to explain the situation to customers and employees. "I hope to be in all the mills next week." Catalyst employs some 1,700 people at mills in Port Alberni, Powell River and Crofton. Most Viewed Stories More Local
