Looks beautiful in our nursery
The chandelier is beautiful. My only complaint is that on of the bases a light is crooked. I was able to bend it a little, but it is still noticable to me.Read More
Perfect for the Bedroom
I bought this chandelier to replace a ceiling fan over the bed. I'm quite pleased. It was shipped quickly, with no breakage. My only complaint is that the chain links are were difficult to open. I had to use two sets of pliers, one to push and the other to pull. By the time I got the links open, the pink paint was scratched off in spots. Luckily, I had recently painted my bathroom the same color as the light fixture and was able to use that paint to do a touch-up job. I guess another option would be to get a chain cover.Read More

Best Chandeliers for Your Home
Whether you like antique or contemporary styles, chandeliers can dress up many different rooms. It's easy to update your bedroom with a striking pendant chandelier, or add a crystal chandelier to the dining room for extra sparkle. You may have a few questions about choosing chandelier lighting that works with your style, however. Read on for tips on finding the best chandeliers for your home.
Best Light Fixtures for Making a Statement
Light fixtures can produce big design statements in a room. If something feels incomplete, even after you've decorated, chances are your lighting situation is to blame. Replacing a standard frosted glass pendant light or a boring brass chandelier with something unique and tailored for your style will pull together all the elements of a room and highlight the architecture of a home.
FAQs about Chandeliers and Pendants
Chandeliers and pendants have always been popular lighting options because they can highlight spaces and bring some pizzazz and sparkle to a room. The popularity of chandeliers and pendants has made Overstock.com's wide selection even wider and has probably left you with several questions about how to choose, hang and care for the right chandeliers and pendants. Read on to find the answers to these frequently asked questions.
Top 5 Chandelier Styles
Whether you are building your dream house or just sprucing up your current home, a chandelier is a great way to add ambiance and decoration to a room. Chandeliers and pendants aren't just for formal dining rooms. The right chandelier can look great in any room. Although chandeliers come in a wide variety of styles, let's start with the top five.
How to Select Kitchen Lighting
If your kitchen looks tired, why not update it with brand-new kitchen lighting? New kitchen pendant lights or a unique chandelier could be just what your space needs for a fresh makeover. In fact, the right kitchen light fixtures add that extra touch that makes a kitchen shine. Whether you want to install recessed kitchen lighting in your home or just want to update a few existing light fixtures, the following tips can help you find lighting that will last for years and keep your kitchen looking great. Read on to learn about selecting kitchen lighting for your home.
How to Clean a Chandelier
Chandeliers can be the stunning focal point of your room, but these dramatic light fixtures are also great at collecting dust and cobwebs. You can keep your chandelier sparkling by dusting it regularly and cleaning it thoroughly twice a year. To learn how to clean your chandelier using both the wet and dry methods, keep reading.
4 Things to Consider When Buying Chandelier Earrings
You're wearing your favorite 1960s-inspired dress and a pair of cute wedge sandals, but something is missing. Add just the right amount of color and shine with a shimmery new pair of chandelier earrings. Chandelier earrings get their name from their design, which mimics elaborate chandelier light fixtures. They may have tiers of sparkling, swinging gemstones or they may have layers of hammered gold medallions. Each chandelier earring style is unique and offers a bold splash of style. They go great with dresses but can also be worn with jeans and suits. To choose the perfect pair of chandelier earrings, consider these important features.
Chandelier Trends
Looking for a way to simultaneously brighten and dress up your home? Chandeliers are the perfect solution. Chandeliers are available with many arms, multiple tiers, and shades as well as with more simple designs and streamlined structures. Look for a chandelier light with a large presence for a big room and one with a smaller profile to use in a diminutive room; the size of your chandelier doesn't matter, only its size in comparison to the rest of your home decor.
Top 5 Ways to Wear Citrine Chandelier Earrings
If you love to dress in dark, neutral colors year-round, then add some citrine chandelier earrings to your wardrobe. Citrine earrings will add bright, glowing light to any simple outfit without diluting the edginess you desire in your look. Like the sparkling yellow eyes of a beautiful owl in the night, citrine jewelry accents an outfit with rich yellow hues. Keep several pairs of lovely chandelier earrings handy, and it will be easy to accessorize jeans, dresses and skirts with this extravagant gemstone jewelry.
How to Choose a Chandelier
Chandeliers are more than just a way to illuminate a room. They add style and become part of the home decor. Like any decorative piece, the right chandelier can make a big difference in the look and feel of a room. A large or ornate chandelier will overwhelm a small living space, and a small, simple one will not look right in a formal dining room. Here's how to choose the best lighting for your home.
Buying Chandelier Lighting for Your Dining Room
Chandeliers are the ultimate statement piece in a house. From giant crystal chandeliers that hang from high ceilings to simple styles that reside over a family dining table, lighting fixtures have the ability to make a room glow. A chandelier that is not right for your space can seem weighed down and heavy. The wrong chandelier can also lack drama that helps make a room fabulous. If your chandelier is looking old and outdated, it might be time to update with a new style.
Best Places to Hang Mini Chandeliers
A glistening chandelier can add that little extra something to your home decor, but you don't need to go big to make a huge style statement. Mini chandeliers, sometimes called chandelettes, work well in a variety of settings and are a popular alternative to large, traditional chandeliers. Think of a mini chandelier as piece of jewelry for your home -- a little can go a long way. If you're not sure where you would use one, try hanging a mini chandelier in one of these places.
Why You Need Chandelier Earrings
If you adore fancy decor, then you will love chandelier earrings. When you enter a fancy ballroom, the first thing you see is the stunning chandelier glistening above your head. Chandelier earrings have the same effect on a smaller scale. Your eyes will automatically be drawn to the sparkling, dancing gems and shiny metal. If you're looking to expand your jewelry collection, consider earrings that look like miniature chandeliers. Many styles are available to bring color and shine to your earring assortment.
Best Styles in Drop Earrings
Classic and versatile, drop earrings may be paired with any wardrobe option to complete a look and add sparkle and shine. Drop earrings include a variety of style categories, including teardrop earrings, chandelier earrings and dangling earrings. Earrings with dangling gemstones, teardrops, charms and chandeliers go well with other jewelry selections and make great jewelry gifts. Choose teardrop earrings, dangling earrings, chandelier earrings and other drop earrings for your collection with our list of the best styles.
A History of Electric Light
On September 4, 1882, one square mile of lower Manhattan was aglow with light as the first commercial power station went into operation. Thanks to Thomas Edison's brilliance, for about 24 cents per kilowatt hour, 59 customers were provided with lights and electricity at night. By the late 1880s, the demand for that service had grown so much that small power stations could be found in many U.S. and European cities. We're still amazed by all the practical and aesthetic possibilities offered by lighting.
Tips on Buying Light Fixtures for Your Kitchen
Make your kitchen a warm, comfortable room with the right lighting and ceiling fans. Since you spend a lot of time in your kitchen preparing and eating meals together with your family, you'll want this type of home lighting to be bright enough to see ingredients but cozy enough to make this room a fun gathering place. Whether you want kitchen ceiling lights to save space or kitchen pendant lights that add a bit of color and style to the room, the following tips will help you to find kitchen lighting that works well in your home. Read on for tips on buying light fixtures for your kitchen.
Earring Glossary

Changes I made
Yesterday, I tried to fix my stay at a guest ranch in the Texas Hill Country. However, the ranch of my choice is closed for a week due to a family wedding. I have checked for alternatives, but I either do not like the ranch or it is way too expensive. Therefore, I will jump on a horse in New Mexico or Arizona. Naturewise I will like those states better anyways.
So, this forenoon I will hop in a bus to San Antonio. Jan 29th in the evening, I will fly to El Paso.

Oh my goodness! What a night! 8 girls in 1 room coming and going at any time of the night.

Anne Sexton
And One For My Dame
A born salesman,
my father made all his dough
by selling wool to Fieldcrest, Woolrich and Faribo.
A born talker,
he could sell one hundred wet-down bales
of that white stuff. He could clock the miles and the sales
and make it pay.
At home each sentence he would utter
had first pleased the buyer who'd paid him off in butter.
Each word
had been tried over and over, at any rate,
on the man who was sold by the man who filled my plate.
My father hovered
over the Yorkshire pudding and the beef:
a peddler, a hawker, a merchant and an Indian chief.
Roosevelt! Willkie! and war!
How suddenly gauche I was
with my old-maid heart and my funny teenage applause.
Each night at home
my father was in love with maps
while the radio fought its battles with Nazis and Japs.
Except when he hid
in his bedroom on a three-day drunk,
he typed out complex itineraries, packed his trunk,
his matched luggage
and pocketed a confirmed reservation,
his heart already pushing over the red routes of the nation.
I sit at my desk
each night with no place to go,
opening thee wrinkled maps of Milwaukee and Buffalo,
the whole U.S.,
its cemeteries, its arbitrary time zones,
through routes like small veins, capitals like small stones.
He died on the road,
his heart pushed from neck to back,
his white hanky signaling from the window of the Cadillac.
My husband,
as blue-eyed as a picture book, sells wool:
boxes of card waste, laps and rovings he can pull
to the thread
and say Leicester, Rambouillet, Merino,
a half-blood, it's greasy and thick, yellow as old snow.
And when you drive off, my darling,
Yes, sir! Yes, sir! It's one for my dame,
your sample cases branded with my father's name,
your itinerary open,
its tolls ticking and greedy,
its highways built up like new loves, raw and speedy.

Category Archives: Republicanism post-1900
Maire Drumm oration at Liam Mellows commemoration
Below is the text of the oration delivered by Maire Drumm on Saturday, December 13, at the annual éirígi Liam Mellows commemoration. The event took place at Mellows' grave in County Wexford. Wreaths were laid at the event by the Independent Workers Union and éirígi.
Mellows is one of the giants of Irish left-republicanism. As a teenager he was a member and leader of the first republican military organisation of the twentieth century, the Fianna Eireann movement founded by Constance Markievicz. Later he was a founder-member of the Irish Volunteers and led the 1916 Rising in Galway. Following the defeat of the Rising and imprisonment, he played a vital role in rebuilding the republican movement, in particular the newly-republican Sinn Fein and the Irish Republican Army. He was part of the Sinn Fein landslide in Ireland in the 1918 British general elections. The republicans won 73 of the 105 Irish seats at Westminster on an absententionist and independence basis, duly establishing a parliament of their own in Dublin (Dail Eireann) and declaring independence.
When the British government refused to recognise the will of the Irish people and moved to use violence to suppress their will, Mellows was to the forefront of the resistance. A war for independence took place from 1919-1921 when the more bourgeoisified elements of Dail Eireann supported a treaty with Britain which gave the British state continuing control of six north-eastern counties of Ireland while also creating a 26-county neocolonial state in the south and west (the Free State). Mellows opposed the Treaty and was part of the central leadership of the republican side in the 1922-23 civil war until his execution on December 13 1922 by Free State forces while a prisoner in Mountjoy Jail in Dublin. – Phil
Maire Drumm Oration:
It is an honour to be invited to speak at this commemoration to pay tribute to Liam Mellows and his three young comrades – Joe McKelvey, Richard Barrett and Rory O'Connor – on the ninety second anniversary of their execution by Free State forces. We also remember all those died in the struggle for national freedom.
Liam Mellows and his comrades were executed on December 8th 1922 without any trial and without any charge being laid against them.
In the eyes of the counter-revolutionary Free State government, the only crime was the four men's adherence to the political objectives which had been succinctly set out in the 1916 Proclamation and expanded upon in the Democratic Programme of the Republic of 1919.
Those documents laid out a political agenda based upon national self-determination, social and economic justice and democracy; of cherishing all the children of the nation equally, of claiming the wealth of Ireland for the people of Ireland; of securing the greatest measures of political, social and economic freedom for the mass of the population.
Those revolutionary objectives were later ditched by an anti-Republican political elite in favour of a Treaty that saw the creation of two partitionist states within the British empire whereby control of the means of production and wealth generation would still remain in the hands of a small, but very wealthy, minority.
The men we honour today recognised that fact. They completely opposed the Treaty with its two state political solution to reinforce an all-Ireland economic status quo.
Those who led resistance against the Treaty and partition were well aware that the forms of government proposed would in no way be Read the rest of this entry

Nora Connolly – a brief note on her life
The following piece appeared on éirígí's facebook page. Now being unemployed, and living a quiet life in a place near the end of the world, I hope to have more time to write, especially as I only want to work part-time for the rest of my life. Near the top of what I want to write is an appreciation of Nora Connolly. As I've indicated before, too often in discussions re Republican Congress it is Peadar O'Donnell who is primarily remembered. In my view, in the political fight that led to the effective break-up of Republican Congress, Nora Connolly was right in arguing for the transformation of the Congress into a revolutionary (socialist-republican) party and O'Donnell and his supporters (who wanted it to be a coalition of republicans, including attempts to involve elements of Fianna Fail) were wrong. The pressing need at the time was for a revolutionary party; such a party might then help coalesce and lead a wider alliance, but the party was key.
Nora, in my opinion, has never been given her full due, probably because she made the subsequent mistake of going off into the Labour Party and, later, serving as a De Valera-appointed member of the Seanad. Those mistakes, however, don't wipe out her impressive credentials from before the Easter Rising, through the Rising and war for independence, through the civil war (at one point in time she was acting paymaster-general for the IRA), the 1920s and the organising of Republican Congress. It was only after the defeat of her arguments there that she ended up feeling she had nowhere to go and the fact that Labour had begun talking again about the 'workers republic' idea that led her into Labour. To her credit, she didn't stay and become an apologist for Labour, the way her brother Roddy did. The formation of the IRSP and the apparent leftward development of the Provisionals brought her back into activity in her late 70s and early 80s, especially around the hunger strikes of 1980-81.
From éirígí on facebook, June 17:
The veteran Irish socialist republican, and daughter of the great James Connolly, Nora Connolly O'Brien passed away on June 17, 1981.
Nora lived her life in absolute dedication to the cause of Irish National Liberation and Socialism.
Nora was a veteran of the 1916 Rising, the Tan War and the war in defence of the Republic which followed. Like her father, Nora believed that the class struggle and the national struggle in Ireland were the same fight, and during the 1930s Nora was a key organiser in the left wing Republican Congress.
In the 1970s Nora described Seamus Costello as Read the rest of this entry

DENR actions on coal ash raise questions
Something does not seem right about how the Department of Environment and Natural Resources has handled the threat posed by coal ash stored in ponds around the state. And the more DENR officials try to justify their approach, the more suspicions grow.
The coal ash controversy arose this month when a pipe ruptured under a coal ash pond at a retired Duke Energy plant near Eden. The break sent 27 million gallons of wastewater and up to 39,000 tons of coal ash laced with toxic metals into the Dan River along the North Carolina-Virginia border.
Coal ash ponds – unlined pits where ash from coal-burning power plants is dumped and mixed with water – are a particularly primitive way of disposing of hazardous material. Seepage from ponds has polluted ground water. Environmental groups have been pushing for years to have the ponds emptied and the ash stored in dry, lined landfills.
One group that has made progress is the Southern Environmental Law Center. It filed three lawsuits against two utilities in South Carolina that resulted in settlements in which the utilities agreed to empty the ponds and safely store the ash or recycle it. The changes were made without any rate increase to customers.
When the SELC tried to get the same result in North Carolina, it found its efforts obstructed by DENR. In each of three cases in which the environmental group gave 60-day notice of intention to sue Duke Energy under the federal Clean Water Act, DENR used its authority under the act to preempt citizens' suits by filing its own. As a result, it was DENR – not the more demanding SELC – that controlled how the suits would be resolved.
In the first two lawsuits involving a coal ash pond in Asheville and another near Charlotte, DENR and Duke Energy entered into a proposed consent agreement. The terms were far more favorable for Duke Energy than what SELC lawyers negotiated with utilities in South Carolina. Duke Energy agreed to pay a $99,000 fine, but it was not required to drain the ponds and move the ash to safer storage. It was a flimsy penalty for a utility that reported a $2.7 billion profit last year. After the Dan River spill, DENR asked that the consent agreement be suspended for further review.
Jim Beasley, a spokesman for South Carolina's Department of Health and Environmental Control, said his agency decided not to preempt the SELC lawsuits in its state. Asked why, he responded with a one-sentence statement: "Our decisions are made with the goal of securing the best protection for the environment."
DENR Secretary John Skvarla said at a news conference last week that his agency preempted the SELC lawsuits to protect the environment, not Duke Energy. "Any allegation that DENR and Duke got together and made some smoky back-room deal with a nominal fine is just absolutely not true," he said.
The results say otherwise. The SELC got elbowed out, and Duke Energy got a wrist slap.
Skvarla said DENR doesn't want to cut off environmental groups. "Somehow or another, the perception has been created that we are adversaries to the citizens groups when, in fact, we are all on the same side of the table. We are partners," he said.
"Somehow or another" that perception might have been created by Skvarla. He wrote in a December op-ed article related to SELC's opposition to building a new bridge next to the aging Bonner Bridge on the Outer Banks: "I realize that suing is what the SELC does. I suppose its leaders feel they must keep going at this point because at the federal level, if they win they can stick the taxpayers with all their legal fees. So even if the chance is remote, the risk is worth it financially. Also, the prolonged publicity allows them to continue to stimulate donations."
Some partner.
North Carolina needs more than Skvarla's assurance that Duke Energy didn't get special treatment.
It's reassuring to see that U.S. Attorney Thomas Walker has questions about how DENR has handled the coal ash issue. DENR and Duke Energy employees have been called to appear before a federal grand jury next month.
Let's hope the next thing that spills will be the truth.

Looking forward to seeing your progress! This is on my to-do list as well. Unfortunately, my list is getting really long. ;-)
edit: One thought on your design. Instead of controlling the pump with the bcs, couldn't you just get a pressure activated diaphragm pump and then just use the bcs to control the solenoid valves for the glycol going to each conical? This way the pump will turn on automatically as needed. My apologies if this is your plan and I misunderstand your description.

Edmonds woman competing in Iditarod
Edmonds' Jan Steves competing this week in Super Bowl of sled dog races
photo by Trish Feaster
Jan Steves (40), with a rider on her sled just for the ceremonial start of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, guides her dog team through the streets of Anchorage on Saturday. This is the Edmonds woman's first time entering the roughly 1,000-mile race from Willow to Nome, Alaska.
Jan Steves
The Edmonds woman was one of 66 mushers who left Willow, Alaska, Sunday to compete in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
A first-timer in the legendary competition, the 55-year-old Steves talked about her dream a year ago while preparing for the Norman Vaughan '25 Serum Run. That 768-mile Alaska expedition was a qualifying event and a warm-up for the Iditarod. It's a goal Steves has held in her heart since trying dog racing about five years ago near Wenatchee.
Now, she runs with the big dogs.
Wearing No. 40, Steves and her team of 14 dogs were in 63rd place out of 66 racers Tuesday afternoon. Just being on the trail is her own victory. She has spent months in Alaska over the past two winters preparing to race with veteran Iditarod mushers.
When I talked with her in January 2011, she did her best to explain why: "The first time I drove a dog team, it was almost spiritual," Steves said. "To look at the movement of the dogs, they were just fluid. And the silence of it -- I was hooked."
There's no chance this week to interview Steves, whose adventures are being chronicled in a blog. A link to that blog can be found at the website of Rick Steves' Europe Through the Back Door, an Edmonds-based travel business operated by her brother.
The blog shows pictures of Jan Steves guiding her dogsled through Anchorage streets Saturday during the Iditarod's ceremonial start. Photographer Trish Feaster was "guest blogging" for Steves as the race began, but isn't able to follow along. The roughly 1,000-mile Iditarod trail, from Willow to Nome, follows an old gold rush and mail route.
"We're doing our best to share her story through our website," Rick Steves said Tuesday. "I've encouraged her to just telephone in and report on her progress."
He, too, is traveling, although in the comfort of an SUV. He was in Utah on Tuesday on a 20-city road trip and speaking tour that will end in Florida. His travels prevented him from being in Alaska to see his younger sister off.
"It's going to take her 10 or 12 days to do this race. It's kind of like she's on the dark side of the moon," he said.
Steves said his sister has always loved adventure, the outdoors and animals. He recalled that as a teenage driver, she crashed their mother's car into a telephone pole in Edmonds rather than hit a dog that had run into the street. "What a big heart she had for dogs," he said.
She has also been involved with the Everett Mountaineers and taught skiing with Fiorini Ski School at Snoqualmie Summit.
Karen Fry of Edmonds has been a friend of Jan Steves since they went to junior high school together. Fry said Monday that her friend was in Edmonds over the summer and had shoulder surgery, but has been in Alaska training since September. Jan Steves' training partner, Bob Chlupach, was listed just one place behind her on the Iditarod website Tuesday.
"It's such an immense undertaking," said Fry, who is closely following the race.
In a piece he wrote for the Huffington Post, Rick Steves recalled that he was the first to travel to Europe as a boy with his parents. When Jan's turn came to make that trip, she chose music camp instead and he again got to go to Europe.
"I never realized just how adventurous Jan is until a couple of years ago, when we discovered that she was, on the sly (thinking no one would take her seriously), setting her sights on actually competing in one of the world's ultimate races," he wrote in the article published Feb. 29.
"She has always loved the mountains and the snow," Steves said Tuesday. "When I hear my sister talk about the magic of being out on the trail, the rhythm of the dogs and the sounds of frosted trees, for me that's an inspiration," he said.
Running a dog team through the wilds of Alaska, often at night, his sister will face dangers.
"They go over ice bridges. You can get lost animals up there. All sorts of things can go wrong," Steves said. "She's strong and talented and focused. Still, she's a relative rookie compared to a lot of those lifelong mushers.
"She's really doing what she wants to do. I just admire it," Steves said.

Ahh, Ergo Proxy. You stole my heart like a thief in the night and promised such visions of grandeur that I could hardly wait to see what came next. Why, oh why, must you have disappointed me so?
There are so many things wrong with Ergo Proxy that it's hard to begin. First, the parallels between it and Ghost in the Shell: Innocence are eerily uncanny; both have an empty and vacuous excuse of a story, combined with stunning visuals to distract you from the blatant stench. The problem is that while GITS2 was terrible from the get-go, Ergo Proxy begins with a drool-inducing bang that ends up being nothing but incredibly false advertising. It's boring, it's slow, and like the chalked-up goth teenager who won't shut up about his pain and suffering, Ergo Proxy tries desperately to sound intelligent and mature but rather comes off as pretentious, obnoxious, and is the root of much eye rolling.
For clarification, consider the following: Ergo Proxy's first episode is gorgeous, badass, and promising beyond belief. Reminiscent of a hybrid between Hellsing, Ghost in the Shell and Witch Hunter Robin, one can't help but be drawn into its world, fiending for more. However, then the rest of the "story" kicks in, complete with both a lack of movement, and a lack of enough caffeine pills in existence to keep any sane person awake and functional. There are way WAY too many episodes dedicated to a single character performing an inner dialogue with himself over and over and over, discussing the fact that he doesn't know who he is. Imagine Evangelion episodes 25 and 26, but only a single person, and then repeat it throughout at least 6 episodes of the series. OK guys, we saw it once - why must we see it a billion more times?
Gee, what else? The creators tried so very hard to make the dialogue sound "intelligent" that it fails miserably. Also, any semblance of "plot", with the exception of the last few episodes of the series, is revealed only during one-off episodes which have nothing to do with the story (such as a random game show episode). But wait, don't get excited! The cluster fuck of an ending does nothing except raise even more questions, and ultimately does nothing for you.
So, in summary, the story is a complete let down on basically every level, period. Do yourself a favor: don't assume that just because you saw and liked episode 1, that you either know what the series is about or will like it for sure.
What Ergo Proxy is lacking in story, it makes up with the gorgeous visual imagery. Fans of cyberpunk will appreciate the detailed computer consoles, dark appearance and attention to detail. In the cyberpunk and gothic regard, Ergo Proxy is PERFECT. Everything is sleek, sexy, and stunning.
That being said, I have some major problems with the character designs. First of all, Re-l is too much of a Michael Jackson impersonator for my tastes - meaning, her facial design changes so much from episode to episode that it's mind boggling. In some episodes, she looks gorgeous. In other episodes, her facial features appear to have been scribbled on by a three-year-old child. It also doesn't help that the majority of the secondary male characters look exactly the same, as that makes the "story" all the more confusing. The Proxies' designs are great, though... as are the backgrounds. More detail definitely could have gone into the character designs and outside-the-city backgrounds and environments, however.
Industrial music is my roots; thus, Ergo Proxy's unusual industrial and dark electronica soundtrack suits my tastes perfectly. If you've listened to any older Delerium albums, that's the kind of music you can expect. I lowered the score by a point because of the travesty that is the OSTs: there are two and they are long and amazing; so why is it that only three to four songs total are repeated over and over throughout the entire series? Where are the rest of the songs? Not only does this not showcase the music director's genius, but it also makes the few songs you hear repetitive and semi-annoying after awhile.
MONORAL's "Kiri" as the opening is amazing and enthralling. Not since Stellvia of the Universe have I chosen to listen to an intro song each time an episode starts.
Like the story, Ergo Proxy tries really, really hard to be deep and meaningful with the character development, and fails. There are a few relationships being explored: Vincent and his relationship with his inner psyche and memories, Vincent and Re-l, and the education of the young and infected autoreiv known as Pino.
As previously mentioned, Vincent's incessant inner dialogues are tedious and tiring. Re-l and Vincent's relationship seems forced and awkward, and Pino, though the only form of comic relief to be found, still manages to be obnoxious with her endless third-person speak.
Ultimately, the trainwreck that is Ergo Proxy's "intelligent" plot managed to destroy any possibility of good or believable character development - especially with the rushed and forced ending.
Ergo Proxy is easily one of the greatest let-downs I've had, out of the 600 or so anime I've seen up to the point. Had the first episode been structured like the rest of the series, I wouldn't have given it the time of day. A poor story, weak character development and inconsistent animation make Ergo Proxy an almost worthless viewing in every way. The soundtrack is amazing and the cyberpunk elements are fantastic, but there just isn't enough to warrant a good recommendation. Though people either seem to love or hate Ergo Proxy, I'm convinced that people who can see through fluffy pseudo-intellectual babble would agree with the latter folks. Unless you are completely set on watching this anime, stay away.
Ergo Proxy's storyline is a disaster. A hopeless, irredeemable disaster.
No one will deny the incredible ambition of this series. The production values, for one, are on par with the best that modern anime studios have to offer. The storyline is epic, sweeping, and complex. Moreover, multitudes of challenging and varied themes are woven into the science-fiction narrative. At arm's length, Ergo Proxy looks, feels and smells like it could be a defining classic of this decade.
Instead, Ergo Proxy is a tragic disappointment, an almost comically inept failure. The show will bore and confuse the watchers who are unwilling to turn their Saturday afternoon into an English Lit. assignment, and insult the few who are. For all its high and lofty intentions, watching Ergo Proxy is, in the series' own pompous rhetoric, a zero-sum game.
The identity of self. The nature of reality. Society's addiction to technology. Life as a zero-sum game. The afterlife. Artificial intelligence. The existence of a soul. The existence of God. The raison d'êtres of individuals and societies. The unreliability of the senses. The bestial nature of humanity. Society's Fear of the Other. The callousness of evolution. The inhumanity of intellectualism. Human fallibility. Genetic engineering. Machiavellianism. Existential ANGST!
Most brainy sci-fi shows have the good sense to pick one or two of the above themes and then explore them in detail. Ergo Proxy, on the other hand, touches on every single one without ever seriously delving into any of them. The result is clumsy, unorganized and shallow. In the end, the show plays more like a greatest hits compilation of better sci-fi titles before it than a legitimately standalone work of art. Those trying to cast the show in a good light might call Ergo Proxy "eclectic" – personally, I prefer "bloated."
Also, like Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, Ergo Proxy feels the inexplicable need to bludgeon its viewers with countless literary references – references that are often largely irrelevant to the actual storyline and add little to the overarching narrative. The resulting allusion profusion makes the show seem more like a classroom assignment than a work of entertainment.
Perhaps because of the endless plethora of themes and allusions, Ergo Proxy's pacing is turgid and inept. Only a handful of plot details are revealed in a given episode, and even those are slowly squeezed out, like turds through a tightly puckered sphincter. The rest of an episode's time is taken up in leaden dialogue (or even worse, monologue) that goes absolutely nowhere.
The visuals are competent, if not spectacular. The series adheres to its dark, nearly monochromatic palette almost religiously, deviating only in rare and effective moments. This gothic style, more than anything else, is probably the animation's biggest strength.
Unfortunately, other parts are decidedly lacking. The character designs definitely leave something to be desired; in particular, Real Mayer's eye-shadowed face is ugly and unappealing. Also, the action scenes are often underwhelming and unimpressive, albeit never actively bad.
Frankly, Ergo Proxy has a much better soundtrack than it deserves. Both the OP and ED are fantastic rock tracks, and the background music is wonderfully moody ambient that works extremely well with the show.
Voice acting is fairly monotone due to the nature of the show, but is fine regardless.
Like other experimental science fiction shows, Ergo Proxy just has too much weighty storyline to really spend time on creating interesting, fully fleshed out characters. However, unlike other shows, the plot isn't good enough to make up for the shallow, one-dimensional characterization. Rather, the weakness of the storyline only serves to bring out how terribly uninteresting each character actually is. Real Mayer is one of the most vapid, underdeveloped protagonists that I've seen in recent memory, and the rest are only marginally better.
Granted, several isolated episodes are creative and interesting, and there are few series out there as ambitious as this one. As a whole, however, one gets the impression that rather than the creators setting out to make an anime that meant something, they were content to make the series just look as intelligent as possible. When all is said and done, Ergo Proxy doesn't know what to say, so it ends up saying little at all.
Full list of the review series can be found on this page, 3rd post from bottom:
Ah, now that's more like it. Who ever said that you can't make something good out of something ordinary? It's mostly the execution that does the trick, followed by presentation, good visuals, something worthy in it to chat about and build a mythos and then… well I guess it's about how the fandom will perceive the whole thing. Ergo Proxy is a dark adventure, a journey of self-discovery, a look into what is real and what is an illusion, something to occasionally make you think outside the box. And I like it just for that; as bolder as anime may be next to cartoons, most of them still follow tired formulas without much innovation, experimentation, distinction, or in the grand scheme of things something worthy to remember about. Looks like Ergo Proxy (EP) covered all that to the most part.
The first thing that impressed me in this show is its roots. It's not a strictly Japanese production as its aesthetics cover notions from all over the world. The characters are not drawn too anime-like, the main themes have English lyrics, and the philosophy it usually deals with has its roots in Europe. Heck, watching a dub would be enough to fool most to consider this a western production. At the same time it is not a conventional western-type production with simplistic characters, superficial plot and characters full of ironic one-liners. It has depth to it in its themes, it follows an idea mostly encountered in high budget sci-fi movies rather than series. It literally seems to take the best parts of both edges of the spectrum to create something really neat.
Of course even the most awesome concept can fall apart without good execution and presentation and EP did a fine job in this department. First of all it has very good production values, something not expected at first from a hit-or-miss in quality studio such as Manglobe. Although I love what they did with Samurai Champloo, and I respect the artsy style of House of Five Leaves (but not its plot) all the rest of their works are nothing but high caliber fan catering BS (Michiko to Hatchin, The Sacred Blacksmith, Broken Blade, The World God Only Knows, Deadman Wonderland, Mashiroiro Symphony). So there is no way to know what to expect from these guys as their quality varies conciderably and thus I was highly suprised and pleased to see the good work they did here. It focuses a lot on making the world look scary and grim, makes sure to present the characters as dynamic, and to the most part does not confuse you with what is going on with the plot. I mean, sure, there is a lot of mystery going on and even in the finale some things are left open to interpretation but I could easily fill in the blanks with the hints they offered here and there. I could even tell what followed the conclusion of the show even if it was not shown or explained. I know many other anime which are being too cryptic to the point you have no clue what is going on and others who just throw everything at your face with long explanatory monologues. EP takes the middle road and it's being explanatory without ever revealing everything at once. Meaning that the mystery is never kept in the dark or under a spotlight; it's half-hidden from the setting sun behind it and it's blinding you when you stare at it.
Another thing is how the style of narration changes throughout the show without ever losing the atmosphere that defines it. The first part feels like a mystery/detective story in a futuristic setting, then it swifts to a journey in the barren wilderness outside of the city, and in the end, as if making a full circle, it ends back in the city where everything becomes a psychedelic showdown of wills and philosophies. Many will probably dislike the middle part as it feels too episodic, without actual on-going plot and with a hint of monster (or better say Proxy) -of-the-week feeling to it. In reality, it helps to better understand the motives of the so-called Gods in the series. If it was just about the main two Proxies, the clash and struggle they perform would feel a lot less important. Yet by looking at the motives of several others of the same kind you get to understand a lot better their vain attempts at maintaining a dead worldview. Plus, it helps the show to not feel too bent on Dualism of good vs evil; an element which I don't favor at all.
And in all this mess you really get to see the characters developing, as they slowly open up to one another and reveal parts of themselves that make them feel more like real people. No wonder the lead woman is named Real; it's all part of the core theme! What makes it even greater is how the characters don't mature in a shonen way. They are not spineless weak boys that need to grow stronger and yell out all their teenage frustration. They are not neurotic girls that express their feeling by hitting boys and yelling over peanuts. The lead duo is already adults and is quite beyond that crap. They are just too untrustworthy and hide things from one another; a thing completely understood under the circumstances of the show.
What I loved as well is how they never tried to oversexualize Real, the main female. She is clearly nice looking with a great body but you barely get to see anything naked throughout the series. That shows respect to the character and I give thumb ups to the animators for not going for sleazy entertainment where the characters are defined by the color of their underwear or the size of their breasts. And not only that; the lead duo is still easily identifiable and stands out in the crowd of anime casts. Real's, make-up in the eyes and the clown-like looks of Ergo both make them easy to tell apart from other shows. Heck, it is just a few lines of paintjob and yet it does wonders. How many others managed to do that with such simple means?
Even the AI robots that accompany them end up having their own sub-plots, as they both have the need to feel important to their human masters and act as if their reason for existence is lost when they are neglected. And this is the core theme by the way. The "raison d'etre" as they prefer to call it in French; the reason each one of us has to keep living and the "ergo" we go through in order to achieve it. It is harder than it sounds; especially when you are living in an organized and fully automated society and suddenly you are thrown out, practically no longer of need by it. It makes sense that you will grow mad and kill yourself or look for answers and a different thing to live for. Hence the second part of the series; one of the very few times I actually got to enjoy for its episodic nature. Other series are completely episodic and a waste of time but here you just see the importance of it all. The finale is not something that could have happened in exactly the same way if you simply skipped all the middle episodes. It would feel hollow and forced. Here it is used as the end process of a long line of events that change you and make you a different person with different goals. Meaning, all that fuss is there for a reason, all part of the core theme. It leads to something in the finale; it is not completely pointless dribbling like in other shows.
There is something I would like to address at this point regarding the characters' appeal. I know many people who didn't like the show because they found the characters to be too apathetic and blunt. That has mostly to do with the fact this is a serious setting and not some shitty shounen aimed at young teenagers. They also didn't like how they were mostly talking or traveling around the world without doing much. That is because all the change was happening inside their minds and we weren't presented everything with a stupid explanatory monologue. So don't pay too much attention to all the accusations, unless you prefer your anime characters to be screaming and showing bae skin all the time.
If there is one thing not even I didn't like, that would the action part. There are several battles in this show and they all feel one-sided from the beginning, as Ergo Proxy seems impossible to be killed. That kind of takes away the feeling of anxiety in case they fail or something. Another minor glitch is how besides the main crew everybody else in the show seems to be left at a minor support role. Both are minor issues before all the rest; the message still gets across just fine. It's just that you shouldn't watch this for the action.
And now for some excused scorings.
General Artwork 2/2 (great production values)
Character Figures 2/2 (their make up is making them stand out)
Backgrounds 2/2 (detailed and spooky)
Animation 1/2 (sporadically the characters lose facial consistency and the battle choreography seems pointless since Ergo is unbeatable)
Visual Effects 2/2 (great use of shadows and darkness)
Voice Acting 3/3 (serious and philosophical dialogues without becoming too tiresome during monologues)
Music Themes 4/4 (great soundtrack and BGM)
Sound Effects 2/3 (great but not awesome)
Premise 2/2 (really deep stuff)
Pacing 1/2 (drops a lot in the middle and speeds up a lot in the end)
Complexity 1/2 (too much focus on the main characters only)
Plausibility 2/2 (no obvious plot holes and the philosophy of the show is explained just fine)
Conclusion 2/2 (rather vague but its solid)
Presence 2/2 (imposing)
Personality 2/2 (detailed)
Backdrop 2/2 (excused)
Development 2/2 (high)
Catharsis 2/2 (definitely)
Historical Value 3/3 (modern classic from the get go for all I care)
Rewatchability 2/3 (high if you dig the premise, with some parts skipped for their low importance)
Memorability 4/4 (stands out in the crowd)
It made me think, it looked great, it had good songs, it had memorable characters, it didn't end openly, and I could fill in the blanks easily. Some parts in the middle felt a bit dull but it was a great ride.
Anime: Casshern Sins, DT Eightron
Western movies: Logan's Run, THX 1138, Nineteen Eighty-Four, Blade Runner, Stalker
It had a bit of potential as a very short anime, but It just completely stabs itself. It feels like it's needlessly dragged on and on, with such a slow pace, and then it has an episode where you can barely keep up with what's going on. It hardly explains anything at all, and most key components of the anime are just not explained at all, or developed. The anime only has 23 episodes, yet most of them are fillers. And even the fillers aren't really interesting because they're just random things happening, that hardly have any sort of essence, and lead up to absolutely nothing at all (at least most of them). Characters hardly get any development. And the characters are very few to begin with. It started bad, because it didn't really introduce the audience into anything, and it ended on the same note. All this time, it constantly feels like a try-hard wanna-be anime. It feels like the creator of this story was some sort of hipster with too much money, who wanted to appear so deep, and make a story which made people think, but the anime makes you think about absolutely nothing at all, because it has no essence whatsoever. It's interesting... how can you talk so much, and yet, leave the audience so confused and bored? And the whole anime just circles the same loop 1000 times. If you want watch an anime and learn how an anime should ***NOT*** be, I definitely recomend you to watch this. If you are someone who wants to appear smart, this is the anime for you. If you are smart, this is not for you. I suggest watching the movie "shutter island". I also suggest comparing this anime to "one piece", and be amazed at how such a short anime can mess up the storyline and be so boring, compared to another one which is so long and captivate the audience. It's like they are polar opposites. The animation for "Ergo proxy" is good tho, and there's hardly anything that would really iritate me, but it was kinda sad and pathetic while watching episode 22 because I could even feel the animators getting bored and starting to draw the characters worse. As for sound... nothing annoying, but nothing that would get stuck in your mind. In fact, I can't remember a single song in this anime except the intro/outro. And there's only one of each, too. As a last note, this is just my opinion, and I'm fairly confident that this is a bad anime, but I suggest you form your own opinion, and try to figure out if it's true that there's overall two groups of people after watching this anime... the dumb hipsters who want to appear smart and say "ergo proxy" is amazing, and the 2nd group who actually seen what a good anime looks like. I suggest debating by bringing up valid points, and just drop the conversation if they bring up something like "I liked how it looked and felt and my faith is that it was nice"
Ergo Proxy. Ahhhh...
The show everyone seems to love to hate. So here's your contrasting opinion. I really liked it, and if you dare please continue reading on and find out why!
Positives: So Ergo Proxy for all its faults oozes ambiance and style. When I first found out about it I was on a Ghost in the Shell/Cyberpunk kick and was eating anything of that sort up without much thought and with Ergo Proxy I got exactly what I was expecting. The art and overall style are just fun to watch. I really enjoyed the whole cold, dark, and dreary air to the show and in my opinion Real/Re-L (meh, watch and you'll understand why I still don't know what to call her) was well designed and just works within her role.
The story is a bit all over the place, but at its core there's a solid set of themes. This is one of the biggest complaints you'll find, and I'll get into it shortly in the Negatives section, but if you just don't dig into it too deeply there's actually a pretty decent story that gives you lots of room for thought and opens up enough of an avenue to enjoy watching the characters unfold both the plot and their personal development.
You'll also find that the production values of Ergo Proxy are stellar. There are few things in the show that don't look fantastic. Honestly, there aren't a lot of shows that I have enjoyed "watching" so much as this one. It's just oozes style.
Last point: at no time during Ergo Proxy did I ever feel like dropping the show even amidst all the little flaws. The two main characters and the overall feel were strong enough to push the story along and skirt any of my minor complaints.
Negatives: So there's a whole lot of these out there and at times I think people really get a kick out of being critical and hating things because it somehow gives them a feeling of empowerment. But in my opinion it's far too easy to get caught up in a lynching and lose sight of what was really important. Did you have fun. Anyhow...I have my own gripes as well...
So yes, Ergo Proxy does try to be a lot deeper than it really is in the end. There's a great host of references and concepts that you are faced with that can at first seem daunting until you realize that the writers really weren't as deep as they'd intended to be. I had to wonder at times if the translation was just so difficult that things which may have made more sense and worked better in the original just didn't quite make it across the translation barrier in the same shape as they'd been planned.
That's really the core concern you're going to see in the other reviews out there, and while it is in its own world legitimate I would suggest another line of thinking that might very well be familiar to a few of you.
Style over substance. =)
With Ergo Proxy you'll get lots of the first and not a whole lot of the second. Just ignore the junk and enjoy it for the good bits. There's enough of the good stuff to counter the rubbish that was left lingering around the edges so just sit back, stuff your mouth with some popcorn, and enjoy watching.
If you liked or , you'd like the other because...

Sony tapped Ignited for a Facebook app with a real-world contest element.
Sony VAIO aims to boost trust in Internet transactions among Latin Americans, and hopes a campaign driving them from Facebook to stores and back to Facebook will help. The company tapped marketing agency Ignited to create a Facebook app with a contest element.
The promotion, "Go Around The World With The S Series,"is for Sony VAIO's S Series laptops. According to Ignited, the idea is to drive consumers through a banner campaign and Facebook engagement ads to the app and to reinforce the contest's prizes - a trip around the world and S Series laptops - while increasing overall brand awareness and generating sales.
Citing research, Ignited said the campaign is specifically focused on consumers in Latin America because they are less likely to purchase online due to factors like taxes, theft and lack of trust. Sony faced a challenge when shifting from traditional to digital advertising because of this aversion in the region.
Even though Ignited Account Director Bree Bandy said she expects the majority of consumers to buy in-store, the goal of the campaign is to initially engage Latin American consumers online in a compelling way, encourage them to go to stores, and then come back online to enter the contest.
"The idea was to make sure consumers got into the store to see, feel, and touch the products and therefore help push them towards purchase online - which is a new experience for most of these consumers," noted Ignited rep Claire Eisenberg in an email.
Focus in the region is broad, targeting Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico and Venezuela. It's also focused on a younger demographic - men and women aged 18 to 24.
In order to enter the contest, consumers must go to a participating store and get one of 200,000 VAIO passports. The passport contains product information as well as a unique code. Then, they must go back to the Facebook page to enter the code and fill out an entry form, and submit photos of three things they would take with them on a trip around the world. They also must describe what characteristic of the S Series would serve them best during the trip - in 226 characters or less.
Bandy said judges will choose the top 20 submissions based on originality of photos and creativity of the submission entry. The top 20 will be featured on VAIO's Facebook page in a gallery. The one entry with the most likes will win the grand prize trip around the world with a friend. Four runner-ups will win an S series notebook. As of Wednesday, Sony VAIO had 593,000 fans.
The app also contains an explanatory video and a store finder feature.
"We are already seeing active participation, however it is very early and we have several more weeks in the submission period," said Bandy.
The campaign launched July 29. According to Bandy, submissions will be accepted until September 5, voting will take place between September 6 and 30, and winners will be announced October 7.
Campaign promotion also includes in-store elements in Sony Style stores and in select local country retailers, as well as an online display campaign.

Nancy really welcomed me as soon as I got there, she made me feel at home straight away. Nancy was so helpful on places to go and see and also helped with travel arrangements! We had some laughs and giggles and looking forward to visiting again! Thank you! X
I had a really nice time staying with Nancy and her family. They were all very generous and welcoming. I felt comfortable in their house straight away. Great location and people.
This was a wonderful first experience with AirBnB. Nancy, Joe and Oliver made me feel very welcome and 'at-home' in their wonderful house; it was an absolute pleasure to stay there. It was also very nice to return 'home' after a busy day and relax in the garden or on the front balcony. The house is also in a perfect location very close to the CBD. Many thanks to Nancy, Joe and Oliver. Their home is highly recommended.
I stayed 4 weeks with Nancy and her family and it was a really nice experience. The house is nice and the room is comfortable to sleep. The location is perfect as you can take a little walk to the CBD, shops and cafes. It was a really nice experience. Thanks Nancy!
Nancy did a great job providing a warm, welcoming and peaceful place for me to stay. It's in a great location too. Thanks Nancy!
Nancy, Joe and Oliver were wonderful hosts who made me feel at home in the lovely house. Eager to offer advice and hear about your daily adventures. I had some great breakfasts provided! Room and bathroom/toilet was clean :)
I would be honored to stay with this family again in the future!
A great 6 days in Brisbane staying so close to the city and shared with a hospitable, interesting family. Nancy and Joe were fun to be with and very helpful, from collecting me when I arrived to insisting on doing some washing. Always keen to share how we had each spent our days and to offer advice.
I had a pleasure of staying with Nancy family for 5 days. Unlike many travellers, my purpose was work! I wanted a place close to CBD and this accommodation was perfect.
I loved the house - "Queenslander" is a very unique design. It was close to my workplace and the outdoor area was very nice.
The room was slightly smaller than I expected. The bathrooms were very clean. Internet access was a minor issue in that particular room. You could come out to the lounge or use a dongle.
Of course, the main "tick" of the stay is the hospitality offered by Nancy, Joe and Oliver. They were very friendly and helpful. Nancy ensured that I had access to morning breakfast before heading off at 6:15 Am.
I recommend this accommodation if you are looking for a place close to Brisbane CBD.
This should be kept a secret really....so hospitable, home from home. Even been back already! Fantastic location for city, very comfy bed and like I said amazing hospitality, nothing too much trouble.
We couldn't have found a better place for our last week in Australia. Nancy and her family are perfect hosts; we had so much fun spending time with them. The house is in a great location - very quiet, but only minutes away from CBD. Our room was very comfortable and clean. And every morning we enjoyed Nancy's perfect breakfast on the sunny balcony. Thank you very much, Nancy, Joe and Oliver, we would love to stay with you again!
Joe was a lovley guy, Gill met him briefly and he left the room clean and tidy. Many thanks Joe, D&G
Nancy's friend was a great guest! He was clean, friendly and easy-going.
Joe, Nancy's husband, is a cool dude and a great guest. I would gladly host Joe any time.
