text: http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/king_of_thorn_cover.jpeg[[caption-width:215:The first manga cover.]]''King of Thorn'' is a short, [[AfterTheEnd post-apocalyptic]] SurvivalHorror manga. The story begins when the main character, [[ShrinkingViolet Kasumi]], and 159 other people are [[LotteryOfDoom chosen]] to go into [[HumanPopsicle cold sleep]] until a cure is found for their mysterious disease, [[ThePlague the Medusa virus]]. The Medusa virus is a disease which, six weeks after infection, causes the victim to have seizures; within five hours, all of the victim's cells have [[TakenForGranite solidified into a clay-like substance]].When some of the sleepers wake up, the world has drastically changed; there is a veritable [[GardenOfEvil jungle]] running around and through the facility. Massive monsters roam through the facility, and there are no signs of any other human beings.A [[TheMovie movie adaptation]] was released in May 2010, whose trailer you can view [[http://www.kingofthorn.net/ here]]. The movie deviated heavily from the canon, watering down many of the characters' back-stories and omitting the BigBad from the manga. It was, however, nominated for the 4th Asia Pacific Screen Award for Best Animated Feature Film.----!!''King of Thorn'' contains examples of:* AGodAmI: [[spoiler:Zeus]], who manipulated the Medusa in [[spoiler:Shizuku]], and gave himself some nifty abilities in the process. [[spoiler: He also orchestrated a lot of things in the plot]], and is [[GigglingVillain a giggling asshat]].* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:Katherine. She was an alcoholic who beat her child to the point where social services had to step in and remove him.]]* ActionDressRip: In Volume 5 Kasumi finds a dress that somehow fits her and wears it for the rest of the series. First chapter of Volume 6, she rips off the skirt because it's hard to walk in it, and wraps her hands and feet with the scraps for protection from the thorns.* ActionMom: Katherine. [[spoiler:A [[MamaBear Mama Gryphon]], too]].** A little more on that subject: [[spoiler: Katherine turned herself into a giant eagle with female breasts, believing that is how a real mother should be presented. Yeah, it's [[RuleOfSymbolism symbolic]] ]].* ActionSurvivor: ''Everyone'' who survives.* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Marco gets this in TheMovie. * AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler:Alice]] is the BigBad in TheMovie, in the form of a [[AIIsACrapshoot computer]]. Yeah...* AirVentPassageway: Marco sends Tim into an air vent so he can get to the other side of a locked door and let the rest of the group through. [[spoiler:At least, that was the plan...]]* AliceAllusion: Alice, The MysteriousWaif, creates her protector as a giant white rabbit. He wears a top hat with a playing card stuck to it, too.* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Kasumi develops a crush on Marco. The rest of the group takes notice of this, but since Marco is so hard to read it's tough to tell what he thinks of her for most of the story.** Ron even discusses this with Kasumi in Chapter 27:-->'''Ron''': "[[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim I don't know what you women see in that type of guy]]. Tell me. These types of guys only cause women headaches."-->'''Kasumi''': "He already has. And despite that, I am still..."* AllThereInTheManual: The [[http://www.kingofthorn.net/ Japanese website]] for TheMovie provides full names, ages, occupations and nationalities for most of the characters, and even gives names to some of the monsters.* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Kasumi and Shizuku.* AndIMustScream* AngstySurvivingTwin: Kasumi. [[spoiler:It's a bit more complicated than that, though.]]* AnimeAccentAbsence: With the exception of the Japanese characters, averted in the English dub of the movie.* AntiHero: Kasumi is a ClassicalAntiHero, while Marco is mostly a ByronicHero.* ArcWords: In TheMovie, "Miracles don't happen without wishes."* ArtisticLicenseBiology: "Well... I think it probably evolved from some animal, or [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment maybe suddenly mutated."]]** Possibly justified, as "evolved" implies "mutated over a long period of time", as opposed to "suddenly mutated".* AssholeVictim: Alessandro, the {{Jerkass}} GrumpyOldMan, is the first member of the group to get killed.* AwfulTruth: Marco knows more about what's really going on than the rest of the group does, and keeps a lot of awful truths from them.* BackFromTheDead: With ''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome sheer willpower]]'', and a little help from [[HeroicSacrifice Alice]].* {{Badass}}: Marco. Let's be serious. He accomplishes what it would have taken a team-up of [[Franchise/MetalGear Solid Snake]] and a few [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Space Marines]] backing him up.** BadassNormal: Applied to pretty much ''everyone'', but especially Marco. [[TookALevelInBadAss But]] [[EmpoweredBadassNormal eventually...]].** GeniusBruiser: Marco.* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: [[spoiler:Marco]]* BigFancyCastle[=/=]BuildingOfAdventure: Pretty much the whole story takes place within the isolated, thorn-covered, monster-infested castle.* BigNo: A full-page BigNo in the final volume.* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Averted. He survives all the way to the end of the story!** Played more straight in the movie. [[spoiler: He�s the third member of the group to die.]]* BlandNameProduct: There's a 'Mindows' operating system, and 'Bell' computers.* BodyHorror: Copious examples. Infection by Medusa causes the body to slowly [[TakenForGranite petrify]] and eventually shatter. If you're lucky, you might instead get a very nasty LovecraftianSuperpower. And then there's Alice, [[spoiler:who has been reduced to a head, heart, one lung, and one arm, and kept alive inside a life support chamber for ''[[AndIMustScream eight years]]'']].* BondVillainStupidity: Played with. [[spoiler:Zeus]] is DangerouslyGenreSavvy enough to know that letting his archenemy live after he's discovered his master plan is a bad idea, and after some EvilGloating, disposes of him rather quickly. Not only does he have one of his minions beat [[spoiler:Marco]] to a pulp and then stab him, he has him dropped from a ledge. However, [[spoiler:Zeus]] fails to consider the possibility of [[spoiler:Marco ''coming back to life.'' And then, he makes the ''very'' stupid mistake of letting Marco ''hack into his data'' and erase him from existence.]]* BoxedCrook: The government recruits Marco this way. The fact Marco wants to take revenge on the infiltrated facility's system administrator (Zeus) certainly helps.** [[spoiler: Averted in the movie, where Marco is actually a British special forces agent who has assumed the identity of a lottery-chosen crook to try and bring down Vega, who is believed to have created & dispersed Medusa.]]* BrainUploading: One of the first things super-hacker [[spoiler:Zeus]] does as part of his AGodAmI is download his mind into a new Medusa form. "That shell could never contain my potential..."* BreakTheCutie: Kasumi goes through ''a lot'' of this. Amazingly enough, she manages to get through it pretty well. Shizuku, on the other hand, [[HeroicBSOD doesn't fare quite as well]].** Alice went through ''eight years'' of breaking, leading her to eventually become a BrokenBird.* BreakingSpeech: "[[AFateWorseThanDeath Shizuku's fate]]... is '''your''' fault."* CameBackStrong: [[spoiler: Marco Owen]] is killed by [[spoiler:Zeus]]. However, [[spoiler: Alice]] sacrifices her life to bring him back, and the new Medusa-enhanced body she gives him has useful new abilities such as a resistance to Zeus's electrical attacks.* CanonForeigner: In the movie, Marco's sister Laura Owen.* [[CatGirl Cat Boy]]: Laloo [[spoiler: Also the [[PettingZooPeople Zeus Breed]]; and Tim becomes [[PartialTransformation half of one]].]]* CassandraTruth: After watching the security tape with [[spoiler:Kasumi]] on it, Tim says to [[spoiler:Kasumi]] "That's you, isn't it?" She denies this, believing the person on the tape to be [[spoiler:Shizuku]]. By the end of the story, it turns out that Tim was right.** Justified; At the time, Tim couldn't have known the truth about [[spoiler:Kasumi and Shizuku]], and [[spoiler:Kasumi]] didn't remember what had really happened on "that day".* ChainedByFashion: Alice's giant rabbit protector is adorned with chains, which it can also manipulate as weapons.* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Zeus]] makes his first, unnamed appearance during a flashback in volume 2 of the manga. Did ''you'' think the goofy security administrator in the Hawaiian shirt would turn out to be the BigBad?* ClearMyName: Marco's motivation in the manga.* CloningBlues: This comes up towards the end of the manga, since by that point both [[spoiler: Marco and Kasumi]] have died and been resurrected as Medusa constructs; essentially, they are just copies of their original selves. [[spoiler:Marco]], not being one prone to angst, simply recommends they live on as normal.-->[[spoiler: '''Marco''']]: Your worth hasn't changed. And it never will.* CloseCallHaircut: Not long after Marco gives Kasumi a gun, she fires it accidentally and parts his hair.* ClothingDamage: A monster rips Kasumi's shirt badly enough that she has to find new clothes when she eventually gets to safety.* CompressedAdaptation: The film adaptation, at only 109 minutes, adapts all 6 volumes. While it does follow the same basic story, there are several changes throughout.* ConspicuousCG: The film adaptation's creatures are primarily made of CGI. The characters are also CGI'd when fighting these creatures. Some creatures are better animated than others, but the characters look pretty bad. It's forgivable for the first half hour but it eventually gets in the way of the drawn animation as the film drags on.* CoolGuns: Oh, yes. Lots and lots of them.* CowardlyLion: Kasumi. She believes she is [[HeroicSelfDeprecation weak and useless]], having depended on her braver twin Shizuku for most of her life. Later she depends on Marco for protection and often needs him to rescue her. However, she's still able to put her fears aside long enough to save someone else's life. She even saves ''Marco'' a few times, and earns his respect for it.* {{Cult}}: The [[HumanPopsicle Cold Sleep]] project was sponsored by a cult called Venus Gate. They planned to harness the power of [[TheVirus Medusa]] to remake the world, only to discover too late that EvilIsNotAToy.* DamselOutOfDistress: Kasumi. See CowardlyLion.* DarkSkinnedRedhead: Ron, the [[BlackDudeDiesFirst Black guy who didn't die first]], [[spoiler:gets pink hair as a consequence of his transformation sequence being interrupted]].* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:Kasumi]] died before the manga began. The one who appears in the story is a ReplacementGoldfish who was created using a LovecraftianSuperpower, and doesn't realize it until TheReveal in the final volume.* DeadlyUpgrade: See HeroicSacrifice.* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Ron, Marco, and harpy!Katherine]] survive in the manga, but not the movie.** Also, Kasumi and Shizuku's parents. They were shown alive in the manga and were there with Shizuku to drop Kasumi off at the castle. In the movie they died from Medusa, leaving the girls living together as orphans.* DeathsHourglass: The bracelets on the survivors� wrists. When the bar on them turns completely black, they are in the final stage of Medusa Virus and will petrify very soon.* DemotedToExtra[=/=]DeletedRole: Zeus is conspicuously absent from the movie, though he does make a brief appearance in a photo at the beginning. His real name is written as Steve Austin.* DefiantStoneThrow: How Kasumi saves Marco from a dinosaur in the first book; she chucks rocks at it so it's too distracted to eat him. Marco uses this chance to break the bridge the dinosaur is standing on.* DoomedDefeatist: Ron decides to split from the rest of the survivors because he figures that it's no use going on now that they've seen the condition the rest of the world is in. [[spoiler:He later changes his mind and, surprisingly, lives to tell the tale.]]* DreamWithinADream: This starts happening near the end of the TheMovie. See MindScrew.* DrivenToSuicide: How [[spoiler:Vincent Coral Vega]] [[AteHisGun dies]].* DroolHello: The "Demonsaurus" monsters in the movie are fond of this trope.* TheDulcineaEffect: It's revealed later that all the survivors had [[spoiler: "keys" implanted in their minds, one being to "protect a weak Japanese woman with your life." Meaning that all of them were under TheDulcineaEffect towards Kasumi, irrationally protecting her despite never knowing or meeting her previously]].* EatMe: Marco and Kasumi have to let the mother monster swallow them to stop Zeus and save Shizuku.* EnemyWithout: Alice, who (as a result of abuse from her family) [[SplitPersonality developed an alternate personality called Laloo]] to take the abuse for her. When Alice became infected with Medusa, it manifested from her back in the form of Laloo. How did Alice respond? [[spoiler:By locking him in a room and ''[[KillItWithFire burning the house down]]'']].* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs* EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods* EvilutionaryBiologist: Zeus.* ExtremelyShortTimespan: Everything seems to take place over about the course of a day or a day and a half, excluding numerous flashbacks.* FairyTaleMotifs: TheMovie likes to reference "Literature/SleepingBeauty" whenever possible. See RuleOfSymbolism.* FauxlosophicNarration: TheMovie has Katherine telling the story of "Literature/SleepingBeauty" at various times as if it relates to the plot somehow.* FertileFeet: In a dark version of the trope, the ubiquitous thorny vines follow Kasumi, growing wherever she goes.* FinalGirl: [[spoiler:Kasumi and [[InfantImmortality Tim]]]]are the only survivors left at the end of the movie.* FireForgedFriends: Everyone who survives really, ''really'' wouldn't have even been aware of each other's world had it not been for TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.* FourIsDeath: Level 4 is Venus Gate's main lab where a cure for Medusa was supposedly being sought. In reality, [[spoiler:it's a bunker where they experimented on Medusa to turn fantasy into reality by separating Medusa from its host, and all the people they gathered there were going to be used as test subjects. They were also infecting people with Medusa at will]].* FreakOut / HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Kasumi's death sends Shizuku right over the DespairEventHorizon. It's so bad that it awakens her Medusa powers and plunges the entire ''world'' into total chaos.]]* FrogsAndToads: They spit hallucinogenic acid, and can combine to form a frog large enough to swallow a human.* FuroScene: In Kasumi's flashbacks. Played for horror rather than {{Fanservice}}, since [[spoiler:it was the site of Kasumi's InterruptedSuicide]].* GardenOfEvil: The entire setting is one of these--a monster-filled jungle of rapidly growing thorny vines.* GenkiGirl: Shizuku.* GigglingVillain: [[spoiler:Zeus]], and comes across as FauxAffablyEvil.* TheGrimReaper: Meets [[spoiler:Marco]] after he dies and offers to ferry him over the afterlife.* GoOutWithASmile: In TheMovie. See DeathByAdaptation.* GrumpyOldMan: Alessandro.* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:Tim]] is half-absorbed by the Medusa. He takes it [[AngstWhatAngst really, really well]].* TheHedgeOfThorns: There's thorns growing on practically every surface, making escapes from monsters more difficult.* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Katherine]] kills herself to gain power to protect Tim, and [[spoiler:Alice, ''of all people'' who gave up her life resuscitating Owen, and [[TookALevelInBadAss giving him some of nifty power,]] including an insulated body.]]** In the movie, [[spoiler:Peter]] does this to save Kasumi and [[spoiler:Ron]] do this to save Marco.* HollywoodActionHero: Marco.* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Marco is a GeniusBruiser who towers over Kasumi.* HumanPopsicle: The 160 Medusa victims in cold sleep. [[spoiler:But for much less time than they think.]]* TheImmune: [[spoiler:Marco]] is immune to Medusa. [[spoiler:Zeus]] eventually explains why: [[spoiler:{{Determinator}}s such as Marco or himself don't have any wounds in their psyche for Medusa to exploit.]]* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: The "cyclops" monster which was partially blinded by Marco ends up dying after having its head impaled on a statue of the crucifixion. WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic?* InfantImmortality: [[spoiler:Tim is still alive by the end of both the manga and the movie. However, an aversion also occurs as there are a few other children briefly seen among the Medusa infectees who are killed/eaten within moments of awakening.]]* IntertwinedFingers: Kasumi and Shizuku, in the first FuroScene flashback.* InterruptedSuicide: Happens a few times with Kasumi:** First, she tried to commit a BathSuicide when she realized [[spoiler:that [[SurvivorGuilt she will be saved]], while Shizuku will not be]]. Shizuku [[GetAholdOfYourselfMan slaps her for it]] [[InterruptedSuicide right in time]], though.** ''Then'', [[spoiler: after finding out [[BodyHorror what Shizuku has become]], Kasumi tried to throw herself off a high place [[SuicideForOthersHappiness thinking that it'll help Shizuku]], and [[TogetherInDeath in order to be with Marco]], but is stopped by Zeus.]]* JerkassHasAPoint: After Alessandro (the old guy) reveals he ''paid'' to become a HumanPopsicle rather than just hope he was randomly selected, some of the others react with outrage. However, he calmly points out that anyone would have done the same thing if they had the means.** He is also the first to recognize who the leader of their group really is; Marco Owen, a master computer hacker and a criminal. He also correctly assumes that Marco has a hidden agenda [[spoiler:though it turns out to be a less sinister agenda than he thinks]].* KillItWithFire: Used effectively against the octopus-monsters and Laloo.* KubrickStare: Marco's default facial expression, complete with CreepyShadowedUndereyes and occasionally a SlasherSmile.* LikeABadassOutOfHell: [[spoiler:Marco Owen]]* LastKiss: In TheMovie, [[spoiler:Kasumi kisses Marco after he dies]].* LockAndLoadMontage: Kathryn, Ron and Marco find the armory and Ron and Kathryn suit up in combat webbing and helmets.* LogicalWeakness[=/=]WeaksauceWeakness: [[spoiler:Zeus]] dies when Marco uses his hacker skills to delete him.* LotteryOfDoom: 160 people were randomly selected by Venus Gate for the cold sleep experiment. They were all told they were being preserved until a cure for Medusa was found. That was a lie. [[spoiler:Venus Gate planned to use these people as Medusa experiments rather than find a cure them. And then Zeus decided to have a little fun...]]* LovecraftianSuperpower: Infection by [[TheVirus Medusa]] can grant this to those with [[HeroicWillpower sufficient willpower]]. [[spoiler:The good news: you can make all your dreams into reality! The bad news: by having them explode out of your body like a ChestBurster.]] BodyHorror doesn't begin to cover it.* MagicMeteor: A meteorite is the source of [[spoiler:[[TheCorruption The Medusa Plague]]]].* TheManBehindTheMan: For the first part of the manga, Ivan Coral Vega is built up as the BigBad, but as it turns out the ''real'' BigBad is [[spoiler:Zeus]], one of his employees.* TheManBehindTheMonsters: [[spoiler:Zeus]]* {{Meganekko}}: Kasumi* MercyKill: Ron nearly does this to Tim, but Katherine stops him.* MindScrew: TheMovie. You know an anime is a mind screw when the latter parts of it completely invalidate what we were shown in the earlier part.* MixAndMatchCritters: Lots and lots of them.* MrFanservice: Marco* MultinationalTeam: People were summoned for the cold sleep experiment from all over the world, and the survivors are all from different countries. Somehow they all [[CommonTongue speak the same language]].* MysteriousWaif: Alice.* MysticalPlague: "Medusa" is a disease that came from [[spoiler:a meteorite; spreading across the globe and turning most humans into statues. (and others into monsters). It's revealed to have a psychic vector; rather than a viral or bacterial one]].* NextSundayAD: The manga begins in the year 2008. The movie bumps this forward to 2015.* NoNameGiven: We never do find out anything about the Senator except that he's, uh, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a senator]], [[JerkAss but he's a jerk so who cares]]. The rest of the cast do ''eventually'' get names, even if it takes two-thirds of the series for them to get mentioned.** TheMovie, however, actually calls him Alessandro Peccino. Which is correct--for more alert viewers will have noticed him introducing himself (as not "the old guy") in the first quiet moment they have after all hell breaks loose.* OminousMusicBoxTune: This gets used quite a bit in TheMovie soundtrack.* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:Alice]] stopped physically aging after she was infected with Medusa. Thus, she's been trapped in the body of a child for eight years.* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Zeus's real name is Steve.* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Kasumi and Shizuku. TheMovie says they're 15 years old, while the [[BonusMaterial manga]] implies they might be 17.* OurGryphonsAreDifferent: One of these is the result of [[spoiler:Katherine]]'s HeroicSacrifice.* PlayfulHacker and TheCracker: Marco and Zeus, respectively.* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Female survivors wear pink while the males wear blue. Averted in TheMovie, where both genders wear white.* PinkySwear: Between Kasumi and Shizuku.* PowerTattoo: Marco Owen is a TattooedCrook to begin with, but one in particular marks his upgrade from BadassNormal to EmpoweredBadassNormal: [[spoiler:when Alice alters his body so that he'll stand a chance against Zeus, he gains a large tattoo on his chest resembling the anarchy symbol]].* PrisonsAreGymnasiums: A couple years in jail did wonders for Marco.* PsychoElectro: Zeus.* PsychopathicManchild: [[spoiler:Zeus]]. His master plan is heavily influenced by ideas he got from movies and video games.* RagnarokProofing: Ultimately averted[[spoiler:--the fact that things still work makes the survivors realize they aren't far in the future after all.]]* RapidFireTyping: Marco hasn't forgotten how to do this.* RuleOfSymbolism: The manga makes frequent references to Myth/ClassicalMythology (Medusa, Venus, Zeus), Literature/TheBible ([[TheArk Noah's Ark]], the Crucifixion), and Literature/AliceInWonderland ([[AliceAllusion Alice]]). TheMovie also throws in FairyTaleMotifs.** FreezeFrameBonus: In the first scene of the movie, a sign on the side of a bus in New York City shows part of the following scripture; "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." --Romans 6:23. It also happens to be Christmas time.** PietaPlagiarism: The scene of [[spoiler:Shizuku]] holding the dead body of [[spoiler:Kasumi]], both in the manga and the movie.* SaveThisPersonSaveTheWorld: Done subversively and surreptitiously in the manga--where everyone rallies to protect Kasumi, [[spoiler: (who is in fact, Medusa) throughout the entire manga series. Their actions are mainly due to a directive imprinted in their minds by the BigBad: ''"protect the small Japanese girl with your life"''.]] Most of them weren't even aware they were doing it. Of course, the bad guy wanted to reshape the entire world, not save it, so...* UsefulNotes/{{Scotland}}: The country where the old castle is, and the main setting of the story.* SheCleansUpNicely: Kasumi really looks good in a dress.* ShoutOut: "What is this, Film/JurassicPark?!"** TheMovie shows a [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d3/Medusa_by_Carvaggio.jpg painting by Caravaggio]] of {{Medusa}} during the prologue.* [[spoiler: ShowWithinAShow: If you take the manga as an action movie inside a manga]]* ShrinkingViolet: Kasumi.* SlidingScaleOfAnimeObscurity: Level 5.* SocialDarwinist: Zeus.* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Or perhaps a case of {{Engrish}}; in the movie, Medusa is spelt as "Medousa".* SplitPersonality: Laloo was originally a split personality of Alice before being given life by Medusa. (Alice had DID, not schizophrenia. Ivan Coral Vega [[YouFailYourMedicalBoardsForever fails psychiatry forever]].)* SurvivorGuilt: Kasumi has a massive case of this, since she was selected to be saved from a deadly disease by being put into [[HumanPopsicle cold sleep]] while her twin sister Shizuku was not. [[spoiler:She even tries to commit suicide so that Shizuku can take her place]].* TakeMyHand* TakenForGranite: They don't call the virus "Medusa" for nothing.* TattooedCrook: Marco, despite being the [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold gold-hearted]] [[DesignatedHero protagonist]].* ThemeTwinNaming: Kasumi and Shizuku's names both have meanings related to water; "mist" and "raindrop".* TheXOfY: The title.* TitleDrop: Early on, Marco sneers at the senator, saying "If you're a senator, then I'm a king!"* TokenRomance: Okay, it's sort of understandable why Kasumi would fall for Marco, but it's hard to see how or when Marco starts to care about Kasumi enough to [[spoiler:''come back from the dead for her sake'']].** TheDulcineaEffect is still, well, in effect.** She does save him and the others on a regular basis too you know, she is not completely helpless. * TogetherInDeath: Given a very dark and tragic twist with the final meeting between [[spoiler:Kasumi and Shizuku]]. [[spoiler:One of the two has a chance at living, but wants them both to die together so they can be TogetherInDeath. The second wants the first to take the opportunity to go on living. They argue over it. Tragedy, FreakOut, and TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt ensue.]]* TookALevelInBadass: Take a look at the pictures of Marco before prison and after. Good ''lord''.* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:"Kasumi" is ''part of'' Shizuku, a Medusa projection of what Shizuku believed Kasumi to be. Given that they're twins, she's a rather accurate one.]]* TomboyAndGirlyGirl and PolarOppositeTwins[=/=]TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Kasumi and Shizuku.* TwentyThree: September 23, 2008 is the date when the cold sleep project began. This is important later.* TwoGirlsToATeam: Kasumi and Katherine.* VideoWills: Vincent Coral Vega, the leader of the Venus Gate cult, makes an ApocalypticLog explaining what [[TheCorruption Medusa]] is and how it caused TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. [[spoiler:He says that he hopes it will be found by some other survivor who can fix things, but he himself does not have the will to fight on, then commits suicide]].* VillainousBreakdown: After [[spoiler:Marco]]'s unexpected return, [[spoiler:Zeus]] [[OneWingedAngel falls apart really hard, really fast]].* VirtualGhost: Alice.* TheVirus: Medusa.

And then is never seen again after that. What happened to him? Was he destroyed in [[spoiler:Shizuku]]'s impact? Was he unable to sustain himself for long, due to [[spoiler:Alice being dead]]? [[HesJustHiding Is he hiding?]] Who knows!* WhereIWasBornAndRazed: [[spoiler:Alice]] burnt her house down when she was a child after her family had died of the Medusa virus, along with the creature that the virus had spawned from her in the process.* TheWormThatWalks: [[spoiler:Peter Stevens]]'s Medusa manifestation.* YourMindMakesItReal: [[spoiler:Medusa can act like this with a host who has a ''really'' high imagination. In other words, those who want to escape from reality the most have the greatest ability to make their fantasies become real.]]** [[spoiler: This is, in fact, the reason the Medusa monsters were able to take over the world so quickly: everybody thought they were unstoppable monsters, and so they were.]]----

Texas Eased Rules For Housing Immigrant Children
McALLEN, Texas (AP) – When it was overwhelmed by thousands of unaccompanied immigrant children, Texas relaxed its standards for the shelters that house them.
The changes reduced the number of square feet required for each child and allowed more children to be housed per available toilet, sink and shower.
Some shelters proposed having additional kids sleep on cots — an idea that was approved. A suggestion to give them air mattresses was denied. That's according to shelter documents obtained by The Associated Press through an open-records request.
In some ways, the response resembled the reaction to a hurricane, with federally contracted shelters asking the state licensing agency to temporarily bend some regulations to accommodate a large population.
More than 57,000 children entered the U.S. illegally between October and June without a parent or guardian.

Abu Dhabi looks to artificial aquifer for water security; UAE currently has up to four days of water in emergency; Analysts see possible attacks on water supply in Gulf.
December 21, 2010 1:13 by Reuters
In the Gulf, only water can be more precious than oil, and Arab leaders are taking steps to protect their supply from possible sabotage by al Qaeda militants or attacks by another potential foe.
Abu Dhabi, in particular, is taking no chances.
In October, the wealthiest emirate of the United Arab Emirates federation launched a pilot for the world's largest underground reservoir, with 26 million cubic metres of desalinated water. Officials say they aim to protect from oil spills or plant breakdowns, but others cite security fears.
Diminishing natural groundwater is a fundamental threat to Gulf Arab states. Today, Abu Dhabi and its fellow emirates have only four days of water if desalination plants were damaged.
"A desalination plant is a large factory sitting on the coast, something that you could easily blow up with a bomb or a missile. You could bring the country to its knees," said Hady Amr of the Brookings Doha Centre.
Abu Dhabi's massive aquifer project is buried beneath the scorching sands of the Empty Quarter, a desert stretching from the UAE to Saudi Arabia. The completed reservoir will store 90 days of rationed water for its citizens.
Now Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Oman are interested in making aquifers too, the project's developers and analysts said.
"Iran and Iraq have rivers. We (other Gulf states) don't. So in the future, they have the upper hand," said Sami al-Faraj, of the Kuwait Centre for Strategic Studies.
The UAE risks depleting groundwater within 50 years at current consumption rates. Desalination capacity, which Abu Dhabi has quadrupled in the last ten years, is at risk from natural disasters and oil spills in the Strait of Hormuz, where 40 percent of the world's seaborne oil passes.
"We need strategic storage against any type of emergency. We have no specific crisis in mind," said Mohammed Dawoud, head of Water Resources at Abu Dhabi's Environment Agency.
But two sources close to the long-discussed project, to be built by the Arabian Construction and POSCO Engineering and Construction companies, said the project was also spurred on by growing fear of attack.
"They are concerned about unfriendly acts. It takes only a little effort to shut (a plant) down," one source said.

TORRANCE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/29/13 -- Dr. Christine A. Petti, a board-certified plastic surgeon and featured contributor on "The Doctors," is dedicated to helping her Los Angeles plastic surgery patients achieve their cosmetic goals while minimizing risk and maximizing results. The liposuction alternative known as SmartLipo Triplex allows her to achieve those goals by specifically targeting localized areas of fat resistant to traditional weight loss methods.
SmartLipo Triplex is an all-in-one laser system that allows surgeons to provide:
- More efficient laser lipolysis
- Targeted heating for faster recovery
- Tissue tightening for areas of skin laxity
- Treatments for small, isolated areas of the body
- Treatments for axillary sweat glands associated with hyperhidrosis
According to Dr. Petti, the ideal SmartLipo Triplex candidate is a patient who has "localized areas of excess fat, or what is commonly termed 'pockets of fat,' in a 'problem' area of the body that is resistant to weight loss, muscle toning, and exercise." Coined by Dr. Petti as "sticky fat," these areas of excess weight cannot be controlled through traditional means. They may be genetic, therefore more difficult to eliminate.
The Los Angeles plastic surgeon highlights that one unique characteristic of SmartLipo Triplex is the technique's ability to utilize specific wavelengths of light that can melt fat to permit more precise body contouring. In addition, the procedure simultaneously tightens the skin and can be used in areas of mild to moderate skin laxity, preventing the need for excess skin removal along with the resultant scars, longer recovery, and higher risks for the entire operative procedure.
SmartLipo Triplex can be used to refine the results of liposuction in difficult areas of the body such as:
- Neck
- Abdomen
- Inner thighs
- Back
- Arms/shoulders
In certain instances, Dr. Petti says the results from SmartLipo Triplex are improved over those of traditional liposuction because she is able to use a small fiber that allows her to access areas of the body the large and inflexible cannulas of traditional liposuction cannot reach. This added maneuverability permits her to execute more tailored body contouring, yielding an overall smoother, more natural shape.
About Christine A. Petti, MD, FACS
Dr. Christine Petti is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Los Angeles. She is a graduate of St. Mary's College of Notre Dame University and earned her medical degree at the Medical College of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia where she was named "Best Surgical Resident." In addition to serving on the surgical staff of both Torrance Memorial Medical Center and Little Company of Mary Hospital, Dr. Petti is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Plastic Surgery at the University of Southern California. She is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Patient's Guide to Body Contouring and has authored many scientific articles in plastic surgery.
Dr. Petti is available for interview upon request.

By Liz McMillan Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys. May. 6, 2015 09:45 AM EDT Reads: 6,065 |

Romantic house in the Old Town, on the beautiful coast of Istria. One bedroom with a double bed, a living room with pull out double sofa of the highest quality, fully equipped kitchen, a dining area for 4 people, a bathroom with a view of the rooftops of Rovinj with a large shower with a mosaic floor, and a separate toilet. The house was completely renovated recently and is equipped with high quality furniture for their own use as a second home for the owners. Here you will find everything you need for a relaxing holiday with family or friends: washing machine, dishwasher, satellite TV, DVD, stereo, free wifi, library, 2 laundry lines just outside the windows (enough to hang your bathing suit a whole family out to dry ), towels, beach towels. Even soap, dishwashing detergent, kitchen sponge, salt, pepper, olive oil, etc. is available, so you immediately feel right at home
You will also find an in-house brochure with ideas for activities in and around Rovinj, as well as explanations for house and restaurant and Barvorschlägen. The house will be handed over sparkling clean, and if you stay more than 1 week, a weekly cleaning and change of towels and linseed included in the price. We can help with park proposals, you should arrive with your car, and provide you with additional transport from the parking lot to the vicinity of the house for a surcharge, you should not want to go with your luggage through the old town. Please ask for!
My husband and I stayed at Karin's meticulously kept and well appointed apartment for three weeks in September, 2014, Karin is a wonderful host; she responds to questions immediately, and she has thought of everything a guest might need. We loved the location as well. Because we were in Rovinj for three weeks we were able to explore the nearby restaurants and shops, and take several day trips to nearby Istrian towns. Norbert and Natasha were always available to answer questions and make us feel welcome. Staying at Villa Montalbano helped make our trip one filled with memories that we will cherish.
Wir waren eine Woche im August in diesem schönen Appartment und es verdient die volle Punktzahl! Die Villa Montalbano unterscheidet sich von anderen Ferienwohnungen durch eine geschmackvolle Einrichtung, alle Geräte sind modern und man fühlt sich wirklich wie Zuhause dort. Und nicht nur das: Norbert hat uns vor Ort abgeholt und zum Appartment gebracht, eine freundliche Kontaktperson vor Ort, der auch einmal ein Bügeleisen vorbeibringt oder andere Wünsche erfüllt. Auch die Buchung über Frau Pramberg und die Abwicklung ging schnell und professionell vonstatten. Es tut mir fast leid, dieses schöne Haus zu empfehlen, da nun sicher sehr viele Interessenten buchen und wir uns sputen müssen, wenn wir es auch reservieren wollen :-). Wir werden wiederkommen.
Villa Montalbano is located in the heart of the old town of Rovinj, in the pedestrian zone, 5 minutes walk from the romantic St. Euphemia Basilica. Stroll along the winding alleys, you enter the galleries and enjoy a drink on a shady terrace of one of the many cafes of the old town. The town beach is about 5 minutes of the house and is ideal for an early morning swim. With the Wheel of Nature Zlatni Rt park can be reached in about 15 minutes, where you drive the shade of the pine trees along the coast for hours and stop at any time and can make a leap into the blue sea. After a day on which you were able to enjoy the Mediterranean at its best, visit one of the many and varied restaurants in the old town, and let your taste buds with Croatian natural products of land and water, spoil. Then you can start the day with a glass of wine or a cocktail, round off the edge of sea with candlelight, and walk the few steps back home to the Villa Montalbano back.

Okay, I've found out how to deal with some of my contact issues (not displaying contacts which don't have phone numbers is a good start for some of them), but I'm still a little stuck. There are a couple of email only contacts which I need to have, so I've added phauxn numbers to those contacts (555-1212). However, one of the contacts has a non-standard email address: (post.urlnamehere.com) and when I try to save the edited contact, the phone says: Invalid email ID. Please check! and won't let me save it. WTF?
To the best of my knowledge there is no way to have an email address without an @ in it. Nothing available for use on any computer system will accept an email add valid without one. It is like trying to use a TV without a power cord, not gonna happen in any currently existing home. An email address by standard is username@domain
I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. The full address is email@example.com I assumed the problem the phone was having was with the double dots in the url portion of the address.
that does not seem to be an issue on my phone. I have a single contact that has 3 email addresses saved under it with no fake phone number. One of which is my mobile upload for my photobucket which is email@example.com. The other 2 are name@domain that are commonly used to send pictures to for work.

BUS fanatic Alan Gurr has achieved his dream of travelling across England for nothing using his bus pass.
The 67-year-old granddad's first attempt to traverse the country by bus failed last year because he missed a connection.
But now the divorced Didcot dad-of-two has completed his mission thanks to the national scheme, which gives free travel in England after 9.30am. And he has raised £350 for East Oxford's Helen & Douglas House hospice in the process.
After a train up, he set off from the most northerly bus stop in England, at Berwick-upon-Tweed in Northumberland, on Monday, July 14.
The following Tuesday, eight days and 32 buses later, he arrived at the country's most southerly bus stop at Land's End and took the train home.
Mr Gurr, who works on the factory floor at TNT packaging warehouse at Milton Park, said: "A lot of people spend all year saving up to go on holiday to a sunny beach in the south of France.
"That would drive me crackers. I'd just get bored and sunburnt – it does not appeal.
"I really enjoy England, I like my holidays at home, I like B&Bs and I like travelling. I decided to do it by bus just to see if I could, and I could."
Mr Gurr said: "We all had very hot weather that week except for me in the Lake District.
"With all the rain and steamed-up bus windows, I couldn't see the beautiful scenery.
"Apart from that, it was a very enjoyable week for me, helped by the knowledge that I was raising some funds for a very worthy cause.
"All of my pre-booked B&Bs were good – some of the beers I tasted weren't."
He said the best evening meal he had was at Harry Ramsden's fish and chip restaurant in Blackpool.
Last July he travelled south-to-north but missed a crucial connection and had to take a train.
He added: "It was a personal challenge. One missed bus connection meant I had to complete that day's journey by train.
"I decided there and then to do it again, properly, with no mistakes on my part. Now I have done it, albeit in the opposite direction."

They feel bad, so they found you these other deals to make up for it.
Select Local Merchants
Trinity MedSpaRead MoreTrinity Med Spa's team of professionals specializes in all types of treatments that improve the appearance of skin. Their focus, like that of the laser they work with, is hair-removal. The laser can be trained most anywhere on the body, including the back, legs, underarms, and other areas exposed during swimsuit season and moments of panic when you forget where your bellybutton is. In addition to laser hair-removal, the spa also promotes beauty with an arsenal of chemical peels, facial elixirs, and skin-tightening agents.226 Maple Avenue WestVienna, VA US
Jenny's Esthetic ClinicRead MoreOwner Jenny anchors her beauty services in more than two decades of experience. She specializes in permanent makeup, dabbing eternal color onto lips or around eyes to shave minutes off of morning or post-waterslide beauty routines. Jenny also unearths fresh faces with skincare treatments that range from traditional European facials to microdermabrasion, a mechanical method of quickly buffing away lines, age spots, acne, and other blemishes. Jenny gussies up exteriors for weddings or special events by swiftly affixing eyelash extensions or vanquishes moles and dark marks with the wave of a laser beam3461 Washington Blvd.Arlington, VA US
Red Rose Beauty CenterRead MoreRed Rose Beauty Center's clients can rest easy knowing that they're in the hands of a doctor who has treated patients for more than 30 years, including time spent in the high-stress arenas of internal and emergency medicine. He started off at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, and in 1993, he moved to the Washington DC area, where he eventually started working in the medical aesthetics field. "This field offers [a] more relaxed and different approach to patient care," he says. "These are 100% optional/elective procedures." At his med spa, he injects Botox and Juv?derm into faces to help smooth wrinkles and plump up fine lines. He also uses Latisse to help patients have fuller, darker eyelashes without coating them in mud.462 Herndon ParkwayHerndon, VA US
Hulya's Aesthetic and Wellness - BethesdaRead MoreThe friendly staff of River Soul Wellness, which includes a medical director, internationally trained aesthetician, and registered nurse, works to rejuvenate exteriors with a range of holistic treatments. Chemical peels, exfoliating microdermabrasion session, and Isolaz acne treatments form a line of defense against face and body acne as impermeable as a jar of pickles sealed by the Hulk. IPL hair removal treatments also help banish unwanted hair and sun damage. Hulya's menu of services is also etched with ear candling, far-infrared-sauna sessions, dermal fillers, tattoo removal, and therapeutic massages.8120 Woodmont AveBethesda, MD US
M3 MassageRead MoreMassage for the masses. That's the mission for the team at M3 Massage, who perform massages that work for a variety of skeletomuscular issues. They use deep-tissue techniques for chronic tension, Swedish massage for general relaxation, and prenatal massage for pregnant clients in need of a soothing session. And their efforts have certainly paid off: in 2013, readers of Washington City Paper named M3 Massage Best Spa. In private treatment rooms, aestheticians can also wax clients from head to toe or administer medspa treatments such as Lipomassage, which targets fat deposits and promotes lymphatic circulation. Even the decor puts visitors at ease. Stepping into the M3 Massage lobby is like entering the living room of a friend, the one who decided to install a reception desk. Comfy couches, a coffee table stacked with ample reading materials, and a few other well-placed decor items set an easy and casual tone.3070 M St. NWWashington, DC US
Release The Blow Dry BarRead MoreThe blowouts at Release The Blowdry Bar are named after goddesses?specifically, the goddesses clients resemble when they leave the salon. The Aphrodite, for instance, is all body and spiraling curls, whereas The Venus leaves locks stick straight. Regardless of the deity they're inspired by, all the blowouts start with a luxurious shampoo, a scalp massage, and optional extras, ranging from a custom cut to one of five nourishing ReTreat hair treatments. Release further glamorizes patrons with makeup applied by published, award-winning makeup artists and lash extensions applied by experts over at the chic lash bar. On Friday nights, Release becomes part club, where guests can get a blowout while sipping signature cocktails and listening to the latest tunes spun by a female DJ.1017 H St. NEWashington, DC US

Checking the rearview ...
Jay Lovinger's spent a full year playing poker. And although he's not done just yet, it's already been quite a journey.
Updated: May 3, 2005, 12:46 PM ET
Jay Lovinger | Page 2
It's the first anniversary of when I hit the road for my poker-playing journey. So, theoretically, the odyssey, which was billed as "yearlong," should be over.
Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your perspective this particular poker year, officially measured from the 2004 World Series of Poker through this year's WSOP, is 14 months, plus a smidgeon.
So instead of the customary What I Learned wrap-up, here's my first annual How My Hopes and Dreams Have Shifted ...

moral of the story: I'm going to stab everyone
You know you're hung over when your pose in art class is lying face down on the platform
Just found out my mom tried to sue the birth control company when she got pregnant with me...love you too mom.
What's the protocol when you drive the girl's head into the wall during sex and she starts to cry?
You found me in the back room alone eating someone else's whole birthday cake with my hands then asked me if you could join.
I just took my birth control with a water bottle I found in my purse with vodka in it in Spanish class. 10am is still too early for me.
I hate it when fuck holes buy me drinks at the bar. You don't know my order. You don't know me. You don't know where I've been. You don't know my life.
First memory of my senior year: Going into registration still drunk from last night.
Hey, remember when Hot Stuff played in the back of the ambulance? Or no, cause of your concussion...
Not after That Night. No. I hate tequila. And it hates me. Very mutual hateship going on.
someday i'll meet a woman who will love me for my marvelous breasts and ignore my many character faults.
Jenn from HR called him the new office boy toy. I think I need to bathe in bleach.
I'm pathetic. I'm eating cream puffs in the bath and crying a little.
That's true because who the fuck doesn't love Harry Potter and beer

Terrific product. Well manufactured. Great fit. Helped compliment the tubular control arms!
Current Mods:
too many to list
The stock tunnel brace on my Camaro was a joke. Was just a thin piece of stamped steel you can actually bend with your hand. The Spohn tunnel brace really stiffened up the chassis by itself and stopped the majority of "wiggles" associated with convertibles (before I installed the sub-frame connectors which ended all "wiggles"). I recommend this product.
Current Mods:
UMI 3-point sub-frame connector (convertible), Spohn tunnel brace, Spohn strut tower bar
This torque arm is far better then the stock arm. I had to replace the stock because it cracked and bent. When getting this spohn arm you can clearly tell why it's so much better then the stock one. Even if your car is stock its far to dangerous to run with the factory torque arm. In fact I'd say its life threatening. Oh! and I did notice an improvement in cornering.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Scholarship carries a legacy of kindness
To those who knew him, Justin Daniel Lysack was a man of firsts.
He was the first to cover a friend's Sunday shift even though it was his day off, the first to wake and pick up a pal from the bar at 4 a.m., and the first to call you out for making fun of the people he knew.
To those who will come to know her, Shayna Pierce will be much the same: the first to tend to a broken bone, the first to slap mortar on brick to build a school, and the first to walk two hours in the searing sun to the nearest well for a bucket of water.
On June 24, Pierce was surprised at her convocation with the JD Lysack Memorial Scholarship, a $12,000 award that will help the Garden City Collegiate grad attend the University of Manitoba this fall as she works towards a career working abroad for Doctors Without Borders.
"When they were presenting the award, they were talking about athletics," said Pierce, 17.
"I only played on one sports team, my thing was more music. So, when they said that, I wrote it off and told my friends, 'Wow, someone is going to be really happy today.'
"I felt extremely proud and honoured."
For those in the Gopher hole, indeed for athletes across the city, Lysack was a popular name: a lacrosse phenom who represented Manitoba six times at national championships, and would eventually help coach the program at Garden City when it debuted shortly after he graduated in 2009.
Lysack died suddenly on May 31, 2012, during a game in a Red River Lacrosse Association match at the Richmond Kings Community Centre in Fort Richmond. He was 20.
As Lysack's father, Darrin, performed CPR until paramedics arrived, news of the tragedy quickly spread across those involved in the school. That included Tracy Ball, a lunch program co-ordinator at Inkster School and the Garden City Collegiate parent council co-chair responsible for bringing in grief counsellors following the death.
Ball knew of JD through working with his father, an educational assistant and respite worker at Inkster, for five years, though both admit they didn't know each other too well.
However, in the year since, Ball says the two have become "kindred spirits," helping each other cope with their daily struggles — Ball lost her husband David, a severe weather meteorologist, to brain cancer in January 2011 after a five year battle.
"One of the biggest things I remember him saying to me was 'I don't want to be forgotten when I'm gone,'" said Ball, noting David spent the last two years of his life teaching meteorology across Europe and China.
Earlier this year, Ball handed Garden City principal Steve Medwick a $12,000 cheque for the scholarship, to support a student in financial need and who would combine their post-secondary education with community involvement. Ball named it in JD's memory.
"There are a lot of athletic scholarships," said Ball, adding it was also meant to replace the school's Tallman Scholarship, which had been scaled back this year.
"JD was athletic, but there was that other side to him. This is going to somebody . . . involved in the community and who gives back, which was a big part of what JD was."
Darrin Lysack said he's still speechless since Ball broke the news just before Mother's Day. It's a fitting tribute to his son, he said.
"He cared for everybody. The smaller you were, the more he cared for you," said Lysack.
"If he was given (the scholarship), he would give it to somebody else."
JD was a hard-working man, one of actions instead of words, Darrin said. He was also a lifelong athlete who preferred coaching over schooling after he graduated, Darrin added.
"As a family, we're just speechless at the kindness of Tracy," he said.
"Justin would be so thankful and happy that somebody he'd possibly known, coached or played with would get that assist, that little kick in the butt to do better in school and life."
Though Pierce never knew JD, she understands the meaning of the award.
Pierce was inspired to go into health care after taking a trip to Kenya with classmates in March 2012. Over two weeks, she helped build a school in Salabwek, conducted water research for the village, entertained children and helped women collect water for their village.
"I wanted to be somewhere where I could make a difference," she said, adding she wouldn't be able to afford school without the scholarship.
Pierce has been active in community work around the city, including serving as president of the Kildonan Youth Activity Centre's youth council in her Grade 7 and 8 years. There, she rubbed shoulders with Seven Oaks School Division trustees and sat in on board meetings.
She also volunteers with the Winnipeg North Rotary Club, organizing fundraisers and community cleanups and helping to paint murals in the city's West End. And, when the season is jolly, she also sings Christmas carols with a group of friends at the Seven Oaks Hospital.
"I'm happiest when I'm helping other people," said Pierce.
"(The scholarship) is a crazy opportunity and inspires me to continue doing what I'm doing."
