ANIME v.s. TWILIGHT
In lieu to Alyssameep's article, "Twilight: The Final Statement" (courtesy of Alyssameep) i can now conclude now what twilight actually is.
Alyssameep has drawn significant points to twilight. In courtesy with her points, I have extracted notable information from her article and made a support to which evidences from anime can be well-observed.
1. Bella's clumsy, obsessing over Edward, cooking for Charlie, obsessing over Edward, breaking Jacob's heart, and I don't believe I've mentioned obsessing over Edward. (ext. from Alyssameep)
-Tenma Tsukamoto of the
anime 'School Rumble' is Obsessed just the same way over a
character named Karasuma.
-Yayoi Asuka, too, of the anime 'koikoi seven' is obsessed the
same way towards Tetsuro.
-any ECCHI (ecchi means PERVERTISH) genre anime has the same
pattern as Bella. a weak idiotic girl who can't take her mind off
the male character.
2. NONE OF THE VAMPIRES CARE THAT THEY BREAK THE LAW. Alice steals the Porsche, Edward speeds, and Carlisle uses his position at the hospital to get blood for Bella in Breaking Dawn. (ext. from Alyssameep)
-Inu Yasha mostly does anything
for Kagome.
-Recca Hanabishi, of the anime 'Flame of Recca', promised to
Yanagi Sakoshita that he'll protect her against any form of evil
creatures and whatnot.
-i think, NO male anime character was able to do what Syaoran has
done for Sakura in the anime, Tsubasa Chronicles. Syaoran went
searching for Sakura's memories (since memories contained their
love feelings) in DIFFERENT WORLDS, every struggle there was
EPIC. yet,
Syaoran is aware of the consequences, especially that the said
consuquence is an exchange of his existence from Sakura's past.
hence, Sakura CANNOT remember him from her past!
ha! imagine THAT,
-though driven out of his clumsiness, Yamato is ready to do
anything for Suzuka juz to impress her. from the anime,
EVIDENCE, the anime implies that the men WILL DO ANYTHING for the
women they love. MEYER FAILED to point that particular positive
outlook, so instead of doing anything, she placed it as Edward is
ready to commit a crime for Bella.
in this evidence too, ANIME made a clear positive notion against
twilight, to which Twilight pointed out the negative
3. the note that Bella is weak then she went strong in the fourth book, Breaking Dawn was the perfect EPIC FAIL. (lack of creative imagination on Meyer's part)
-gundam seed and gundam-X (in case if your mind wonders why
it's called Gundam-X, the gundams here are
called via numbers, such as Gundam Rx78 and Gundam Mk113; thus,
Gundam-X, from algebra's x-number, which states that this
Gundam-X is a highly and more advanced mecha than its
predescessors. the other more powerful gundam than the X-Gundam
is the Gundam-XX [double-X]) and ; the main characters were
weak at first (to the point of they are crying), but has found
the reason to fight throughout the series, and that made them
strong along with their 'mobile suits' called the Gundams.
(imagine if your world was torn in war, and with the
woman you love got tangled in it as much as yourself and the rest
of the humanity---that's EPIC).
-Final Fantasy installments have this similar way of going from
weak to strong. that's epic, and they have believable reasons to
get strong. FF btw, rule the word 'epic', so twitards, don't try
infringing this word for the lame book, twilight.
-try watching the anime 'Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann'; that anime
owned what EPIC should be!
-Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles is VERY epic!
4. the part of the plot of twilight of immediately falling in love, can be seen in any anime.
THAT's FINE, and this is
ROMANTIC actually;
but only if there are worthy reasons behind,
mainly reasons of falling in love immediately needs to be
supported with CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, in which
-Yamato, from 'Suzuka', had a love-at-first-sight for Suzuka
Asahina. NOTE: yamato's character development is reasonable (see
the anime). Yamato's character is a fifteen year old guy
who,mostly covers what teenagers in adolescent are experiencing
as a part of their puberty. so,
unless you'll reason out that Edward Cullen, being a 108 year old
virgin is still experiencing PUBERTY, then his
part is excusable.
-Nagi Sanzenin, from the anime 'Hayate no Gotoku', fell in love
with Hayate Ayasaki right to Ep.01 DUE TO the misunderstanding of
what he said to her: 'I'll take you away from here!' How the
51-episode anime unravels its plot made the whole notion
believable (the plot of Hayate no Gotoku is actually a romantic
-Tomoya fell in love at first sight with Nagisa because she's
beautiful; and with their further INTERACTION (note:character devt.), it
was understandable as to why his feelings have grown deeper to
her--as understandable if you find yourself crying over this
anime, 'Clannad'.
the final note is
that, with the CORRECT character development, it is possible to
fall in love at first sight, provided it is REASONABLE. unlike
James has no reason to chase Bella.
(ext. from
-most action anime genre has this notion, example, 'Knight
Hunters' and 'Gensoumaden Saiyuki'. Yet, they are action genre,
and Twilight is not labelled as action and with fighting sences
and all.
-Ultraman, Masked Rider, Power Rangers and the like has their
alien foes having no reason to wreck havoc in Earth. they
just--whoosh---appear! and these guys in costumes and
robots made out of hard plastic to be worn by stuntmen made the
plot and fighting somehow okay.
IF edward or James
become ultraman or Masked Rider, the Twiilght plot may
be seen having reduced damage. or if James' surname is 'Bond',
then it's okay. lol.
5. Twilight's pedophile-ish characters.
-watch 'Sky Girls'; there are a
bit of pedophilic attempts seen throughout its 25-episode;
however, this anime CANNOT topple the age difference of 90 years
in which was applied in Twilght.
TWILIGHT owned
this part, since it IS very pedophilic.
6. Bella's unexplained power.
(really??) (ext. from Alyssameep)
THOUGH anime gives REASONS as to any weird power there may be,
here are some points we can compare:
-Lacus Clyne and
Cagalli Yula Attha of the anime 'Gundam Seed' were dubbed to have
'Seeds'; a form of latent extraordinary ability, though it was
only hinted.
-the girls from 'Koikoi Seven' has different forms of power that
were unexplained, BUT due to the genre of Koikoi7 being a
romantic comedy, it can be said as an excuse.
-the characters of 'DC Da Capo' anime has unique abilities.
-Yakumo Tsukamoto of 'school rumble' can read minds with no given
explanation as to why, yet, her sister, Tenma also have odd
talents such as she may be clumsy and bad at cooking, but very
excellent when skiing.
-even Walt Disney movies DON'T and DIDN'T explained powers in
the bottomline of this
part, is that anime mostly inserts unexplainable proportions of
powers BECAUSE, and only BECAUSE for
Parody or Comic Relief
purposes. those powers that were not explained, BUT, they
ARE NOT USED TO COVER PLOTHOLES. the unexplained
powers are only there, for the essence of comedy, parody, and
comic-relief mischief. On the other hand, Twilight used the
notion that Bella has the power so that Meyer can cover her own
-in the anime 'Happiness', powers are explained to be forms of witchcraft (this anime has slight resemblance to HP, but their magical accessories turned to be their 'familiars' and this anime is in a normal high school setting)
-in the anime 'Claymore', the Claymores have different abilities and special kinds of powers, as explained that they were merged with different monsters' blood and possible DNA's, and these types of different monsters have their own abilities. The point of Claymore is that, they are using monsters (termed as 'Yokai' in Japanese) as the source of the CLaymores' powers. (In twilight, as explained by ALyssameep, Bella is only a HUMAN, a human, not a freak--hence, placing an explanation that she has powers proves she's a freak).
Twilight is fashioned similar to
Anime in a lot of sense; but ANIME is not as shallow as Twiilght;
hence, Anime is BETTER than twilight.
ANIME is a very vital
industry in which, as i'm 90% right, these twilight fans have
never heard of. in this case, they thought TWILIGHT REALLY IS ALL
but NO, it's not.
ANIME had done much of the fine romance years ago---just that Meyer is a fat troll who introduced Anime-essence in live sparkling action doesn't mean she's all that good---she never will be.
her pathetic attempts to bring the ultimate romance were done years ago by Japanese writers. and believe me, ANIME can take care of twilight on any day and any year.
Few Recommendable Romantic anime titles:
1. FUSHIGI YUGI (alternate title: The mysterious play) (year 1996)
Miaka, a high school girl got sucked
inside a book, and is destined to gather the seven
celestial warriors for summoning the four gods for three wishes
to be used in that world. ultimately, she fell in love with
Tamahome, one of the celestial warriors;
to which Tamahome loved her back.
BUT, a wish to which Tamahome would become a real person is a
wish that the four gods cannot grant---and it ends up with
Tamahome unabling to be with Miaka in the end.
simply, Tamahome isn't a person, he's a celestial warrior, and
gods cannot change as to who he is BECAUSE he's essential for
their summon because yes, that's right---
he's a celestial warrior which Miaka needs to gather, and that is
a very reasonable plot (not a plothole).
Celestial Warriors do feel love and other emotions, and Tamahome
cares for Miaka.
Tamahome goes to protect Miaka not just she is destined to call
the gods, but he sees her as a person and someone worth
2. THE VISION OF ESCAFLOWNE (year 1996)
Hitomi Kanzaki, she is transported
to the world of Gaea due to her mysterious latent fortune-telling
or psychic powers.
Gaea is a mysterious planet where she can see Earth and its moon
in the sky.
Hitomi's latent psychic powers, which was later revealed to be
the cause of her summoning,
are enhanced on Gaea and she quickly becomes embroiled in the
conflicts between the Zaibach Empire and the several peaceful
countries that surround it.
Van, king of the fallen kingdom of Fanelia (he looks young,
still.^^ he's a prince as it should but the war claimed the
king's life a little too early), struggles to stop Zaibach using
his mystical mecha called 'Escaflowne'.
Hitomi, whose fortune telling powers blossom in Gaea, discovers
she is the key to awakening 'Escaflowne' and to stopping
Zaibach's plans.
while Hitomi and Van are constantly pitted in an EPIC BATTLE of
surviving the battles and odds, they developed the mutual FEELING
of LOVE,
and what it means to care for someone important to you in the
middle of a battle.
3. SUZUKA (year 2005)
Yamato Akitsuki, a young man from
the rural Hiroshima Prefecture moving to the big city of Tokyo.
and his new next-door neighbor, Suzuka Asahina, a skilled high
Yamoto falls in love (at first sight) with Suzuka and with the
motivation of pursuing a relationship with her;
he joins the track and field team hoping to impressing her.
After joining, Yamoto discovers that he has the potential to
become a top hundred-meter sprinter.
Suzuka's character-driven plot
predominantly makes use of dramatic structure to facilitate
character development. Characterization is further achieved
through the use of character back-story (one important element
which Twilight DOESN'T have).
The story in general employs a realistic tone, but will
occasionally use surreal humour (Again, nothing found in
THIS IS ALSO AN ANIME to which,
girls would hope to see how YOUNG ADOLESCENT GUYS would act, like
hesitating to admit feelings,
denying and sugar-coating their feelings in hopes not to get
embarassed or sometimes hurt when confessing love to someone they
as well as NORMAL TEEN RELATIONSHIP ACTIVITIES found, like school
matters and culture festivals, as well as maintaining homeworks
and someone to advice you in the middle of your love-epic battle
for owning someone's heart.
"A Twilight fan IS likely to say:
it's normal so it's boring.
REPLY: be CREATIVE, and that's what the plot of suzuka is: creativity to its apex of maintaining romantic-comedy and romance (without teen pregnancy and raging hormones BUT maintains to be highly amusing)."
GET THIS: Suzuka was likely to refuse Yamato because he reminds
her of her past BF.
(again, this is in reference to the 'character-driven plot
predominantly makes use of dramatic structure to facilitate
character development')
Kagome Higurashi got sucked into the distant past of Japan when
by chance, a centipede-looking monster came out of a well from
the shinto shrine where she was.
The Japan here btw, is in a fictional setting, one that was said
to have been inhabited with monsters.
she was rescued by Inu-Yasha, a half-demon who aimed for the
'Jewel of Four Souls', the said jewel to make any monsters to be
the most powerful one living once its power is acquired.
around 50years before, Kikyu, a shrine maiden vowed to protect
this jewel against any monsters.
Inuyasha, when he found out the jewel's power, wanted it power
but cannot acquire it since Kikyu was protecting the said
Kikyu somehow felt Inuyasha's loneliness at one time they were
talking in a meadow, and confessed that she herself IS JUST LIKE
A half-demon---she may be a human,
but her task of guarding the jewel made her dangerous to other
humans. hence, she feels more like a half-demon, half of her
emotions remains human while half made her numb.
this led to Kikyu and Inuyasha's love to blossom.
soon after, an event where the main villain, Naraku deceived both
Inuyasha and Kikyu--to which Kikyu shot an arrow at Inuyasha when
he acquired the jewel since it was already in danger as the whole
shrine where the jewel is kept was burned and attacked, he hopes
that Kikyu will protect it close to her.
but like i said, the two of them were deceived.
Kikyu died from a fatal wound, while Inuyasha was sealed in time
with the arrow (it contained powerful prayers and spells whenever
Kikyu shot them).
Kagome arrived, but was soon discovered that she was the
reincarnation of Kikyu---
but Kikyu was reincarnated as well.
Who will Inuyasha choose then, Kagome or
(but that's not the only question, so much
events happened to its 167episode)
this anime remained as one of the TOTAL EPIC and that summary is only its faint light.
Inu-Yasha = WIN
Twilight = FAIL
5. VAMPIRE KNIGHT (2005 on manga, 2008 on anime)
****the year it was published lines the same as twilight, but
vampire knight is still way better than twilight.;p and if you do
noticed, a manga needs to be drawn so
needless to say a manga would take longer points to finish---it
needs the storyline and the drawing, so for any thought like the
vampire knight
copied twilight, no---anime doesn't need to copy some puny
plotless novel.****
Yuki Cross's earliest memory is of a snowy night in winter, when she was attacked by one vampire and was saved by another, Kaname Kuran. Yuki is the adopted daughter of the Headmaster of Cross Academy, Kaien Cross, who is an ex-vampire hunter that now wishes for vampires and humans to live alongside peacefully. She has grown up and become a prefect for the school with one main purpose: for vampires to coexist peacefully with humans. Her fellow guardian, Zero Kiryu, a childhood companion whose parents were killed by a pure-blood vampire, is now determined to kill them all and refuses to trust them. Zero himself is now manifesting vampire traits, having been turned into vampire after he was bitten by a pure-blood vampire, Shizuka Hio, four years before.
Yuki tries to help him fight his bloodlust while also seeking to recover the memories she lost. As the series progresses, Zero's thirst for blood leads to his drinking from Yuki, by her consent, to avoid becoming a level E vampire. To stop this, Kaname gives Zero his own blood, making him a normal vampire which will prevent Zero from going insane and from needing to feed from Yuki. Eventually, it is revealed that Yuki is a pureblood vampire herself, the sister and fiancee of Kaname. To save Yuki from being killed by Rido Kuran, Kaname's uncle, her mother had sealed her memories shortly before her own death. After Yuki reawakens to her vampire nature, Rido again tries to kill her. As Kaname kills the vampire senate, Yuki fights Rido. During a fierce battle, Zero aids her in killing him, but later on tells her he will have to kill her one day.
Twilight = fail
the hana yori dango's storyline is so famous it's translated in different alternate versions over Asian countries, such as 'meteor garden' in Taiwan, and 'Boys over Flowers' in South Korea.
The story revolves on Tsukushi Makino, a high schooler on Eitoku
Academy, a very famous school in Japan (fictional) to which she
was kind of 'forced' by her parents to go to that school.
one thing though, Tsukushi is not rich as that school caters rich
students, they may be sons and daughters from big companies,
large stocks and firms, like that kind of rich. hence, Tsukushi
was forced by her parents so that she can seduce some rich men
and take her and her parents out of poverty.
Here, the 'Flower four' or F4, composed of the four sons of
wealthiest family in japan comes into play. they are highly
respected and mostly admired by the high school students because
they are 'cute, handsome, and theyare actually the men to sparkle
(they are humans and this anime doesn't have eccentric beings
like half-cooked vamps, it's actually a high school real-based
anime) for being very handsome.)
however, the leader of the F4, doumnyouji, seems very arrogant
and OCCASIONALLY bullies students. no, not the typical bullying
like taking things and making the bullied person kneel, they have
unique ways of sticking 'red tag' on the person's locker,
declaring a war and all---
which means the one they bullied can fight back. the reason they
bully is if someone insults their 'high throne' then that someone
gets his/her red tag.
the red tag kind was like, since the F4 is so famous in school
that once the person gets a red tag from them, the entire high
school students will follow the F4's footsteps, making more of
that person's life miserable.
Imagine if you alone against the entire high school students,
that even classmates would turn against you, make you feel
invisible, or not important, you get the drift.
Tsukushi doesn't hold back, and proves herself that she can par
up with Doumnyouji (she actually hit him, enough for Doumnyouji
to take her special notice, the entire high school took notice
seeing a common girl punching a rich guy, and were shock and awed
and all). soon enough with more plots unfolding, Doumnyouji
became attracted to Tsukushi for the reason of:
1. tsukushi doesn't hold back
2. tsukushi have a lot of high esteem that she's not appeased
with arrogant and rich people, you know, people who prides money
over reasons.
3. the plot comes unfolding for more reasons.
Hana Yori Dango = WIN
Twilight = fail
7. Cheeky Angel (2001)
a very funny romantic comedy anime---Megumi Amatsuka is beautiful, pretty, but she has a secret!
when Megumi was nine years old, she was actually a GUY, and
during that age, being a typical boy-rampant, loud and wild, he
bullies and beats other kids and other bullies for his notion
that he wants to be a physically-strong guy.
an old lady gave him a book which is magical and it turned him
into a GIRL.
Only Megumi and the girl who was along with her during that time, Miki Hanakain, knows that she was a guy. all facts about Megumi, like her parents knowing her as a girl and the rest of the people who knows her sees and really says she's a girl, no one remembered that she was once a guy except Miki.
of course, she still harbors that thought being a guy along with MIki but, there are also high school guys around and, yes the plot becomes fully lively.;)
This is something Twilight can never hope to do.
Cheeky Angel = WIN
Twilight = fail
8. Spice and Wolf (2008)
Spice and Wolf's story revolves around Kraft Lawrence, a
traveling merchant who peddles various goods from town to town to
make a living in a stylized historical setting with European
influences. His main goal in life is to gather enough money to
start his own shop, and he already has been traveling for seven
years while gaining experience in the trade. One night when
stopped at the town of Pasroe, he finds in his wagon a pagan
wolf-deity girl named Holo. She appears to be an average girl,
except for a wolf's tail and ears. She introduces herself as the
town's goddess of harvest, who has kept it blessed with good
harvests of wheat for many years. Despite having the
responsibility to watch over the town, she wants to go back to
her homeland in the north called Yoitsu; she believes the people
have already forsaken her and that she has kept her promise to
maintain the good harvests. Holo wants also to travel to see how
the world has changed while she has remained in one place for
She manages to bargain her way out of the village by making a
deal with Lawrence to take her with him. As they travel, her
wisdom helps increase his profits, but at the same time, her true
nature draws unwanted attention from the church.
Throughout the story, the two slowly
fall in love.
Spice and WOlf = WIN
Twilight = FAIL
9. Seto No Hanayome (Alternate Title: My Bride is A Mermaid) (2007)
The story revolves around a young teenage boy named Nagasumi Michishio. One day during his summer vacation, Nagasumi was saved from drowning by a mermaid, Sun Seto, in the Seto Inland Sea. However, under mermaid law, if a mermaid's identity as a mermaid has been revealed, either the mermaid who was involved or the human who saw the mermaid are to be killed. In an attempt to save both Nagasumi and Sun's lives, Sun's family, which is apparently the head of its own mob, reluctantly decides that the two are to be married.
Gozaburu, Sun's father, however, is enraged about his daughter
running off and getting married, especially to a human whom he
deems inferior. Between Gozaburu's attempts on his life and the
madcap antics of a whole slew of antagonists - including the
daughter of a rival mobster and a rich male transfer student with
an attraction for Sun - Nagasumi is not enjoying a very smooth
transition into his new lifestyle.
HENCE, the way this whole romantic comedy unfolded with its
entire chaos and mayhem mixed in notion of Sun and Nagasumi's
pre-arranged marriage, comes the notion of how they really value
each other...and that is the essence
of LOVE.
Seto No Hanayome = WIN
Twilight = FAIL
10. Karin (alternate title: Chibi Vampire) (2006)
Karin Maaka is the middle child in a family of vampires who immigrated to Japan two centuries earlier. Unlike the rest of her family, Karin does not feed on blood, she produces it. As a result, she is forced to bite others to expel the extra blood, lest she suffer exaggerated nose-bleeds. She also exhibits no normal vampire traits, and instead lives her life just as an ordinary teenage girl would. She can go outside during the day, attends high school, and follows the sleep pattern of normal humans. However, the general peacefulness of her life is disrupted with the arrival of a new transfer student, Kenta Usui.
Any time she goes near him her blood increases. At first she tries to avoid him but they are in the same class and work in the same restaurant. Kenta begins to think that there is something fishy about Karin and eventually he learns her secret. Karin's elder brother Ren tries to erase his memory but Anju, Karin's younger sister, stops him from doing so.
Karin and Kenta become friends, and as they spend more time with on another, fall in love, though they are slow to admit their feelings to one another.
Karin = WIN
Twlight = FAIL
11. Lovely Complex (2007)
a love story between a boy and a girl. The girl, Risa Koizumi, is 172 centimetres (5 ft 8 in) tall-much taller than the average Japanese girl. The boy, Atsushi Otani, is 156 cm (5 ft 1 in)-way below the height of the average Japanese boy. Because of this, they are called the "All Hanshin Kyojin" after a popular comedy duo that has a similar height difference.
During summer school, a very tall student named Ryouji Suzuki (from another class) shows up and Risa immediately falls for him, as she has had bad luck with boys in the past because she is tall. There is a girl that Atsushi likes as well, so Risa and Atsushi decide to put aside their differences and help each other get their love interests. But as they get to know each other better, Risa's feelings for Atsushi begin to blossom, and her love life gets complicated from there.
Lovely Complex = WIN
Twilight = FAIL
12. Fruits Basket (2001)
The story follows the life of high-school student Tohru Honda, who was recently orphaned when her mother, Kyoko Honda, died in a car accident. After that, Tohru lived with her grandfather, but when his house needs remodeling, Tohru resorts to living in a tent in a forest and holds down a job to support herself. Despite suffering many hardships, Tohru remains optimistic.
One day, Tohru comes upon a house in the forest that is the home of her classmate Yuki Sohma and his cousin Shigure Sohma. When the Sohmas discover that Tohru is living in a tent, they are quite surprised by her inner strength. The entire area is Sohma property, and Tohru asks to be allowed to stay in her tent, but then collapses because of a fever brought on by working too hard. A landslide buries her tent, including her mother's picture and school clothes, and she moves into Shigure's house for the night. Desperate for a break from the filth of the house and takeaway meals, she is asked to become a permanent guest in the house, if she cooks and cleans. She accepts, and is being shown her room by Yuki when Kyo Sohma bursts in (through the roof) to challenge Yuki. Tohru, not knowing Yuki's strength, tries to stop Kyo by grabbing him, and as a result he transforms into a cat. She is then hit on the head with a plank of wood, and collapses into Shigure and Yuki, turning them into a dog and rat respectively.
Tohru discovers the Sohma family's secret, and the reason why Yuki is so private and secretive at school: thirteen members of the family are possessed by the 12 animal spirits of the Chinese Zodiac plus the spirit of the cat who was, according to legend, left out of the Zodiac. They transform into animals when hugged by the opposite sex or when put under a great deal of emotional or physical stress (such as being sick). When she promises to keep their secret, the Sohmas allow Tohru to keep her memories rather than hypnotically erasing them, a fate that had previously befallen anyone not "Inside" the Sohma family who had discovered the secret.
The story follows the lives of Tohru and the Sohma family, as they deal with each other and a society where neither quite fits in, as well as the feared Akito Sohma, head of the Sohma family. Soon, after living with the Sohma family she began to like, then love, all of the Sohmas, and sets out to break the zodiac curse; and at the same time, a complex of love proportions goes haywire.
Fruits Basket = WIN
Twilight = FAIL
Hence, the final statement here is that, in any year, and in any day, Twilight is NOTHING compared to any anime titles, as seen with some anime examples I've given that were made starting from 1996. STILL, anime began even in the 1970's, with more than 8,000 anime titles streaming around from the past to the present and of course, the future.

Many visual and acoustic impressions. Landscape atmosphere captured. Close observation. "Silhouette" (1913) IN: Gerson & Davies, 310; Daymond & Monkman, I, 358-359. "The Song My Paddle Sings" (1892) IN: Colombo (1978), 72-74; Gerson & Davies, 301-303. Comment: See GARVIN, 150-152. Praise of the river. JONES, DouglasGordon (b. 1929): "Northern Water Thrush" (1957/1961) IN: Daymond & Monkman, II, 467-468. Comment: Close observation of bird. "The River: North of Guelph" (1961) IN: Atwood, 279-281. Comment: Private existence projected onto, and reflected in, the river. The river as a moral emblem: "Quiet river, brief/ image of my boredom,/ you reflect the flatness of my soul". At the end of the poem there is the image of a crow diving into the water. Further impression: Waste produces an aesthetic effect: "A tin/ funnel,/ pitched into the middle of the stream, catches the light and sends it back." "For Spring" (1967) IN: Atwood, 282-283. Comment: A kind of imagistic poem. Minimal phrasing is charged with plenty of meaning. "These Trees Are No Forest Mourners" (1961) IN: Atwood, 278-279. Comment: Somebody's son died in the forest. Evocation of the comforting presence and continuity of trees. JONES, Shelley: "God's Winter Playground" IN: Canadian Chamber of Contemporary Poetry, 349. Comment: Speaker is thrilled by the winter beauty of the landscape. Awareness of "the rare magnificence of God's winter playground", on the one hand, and the damage produced by modern technology and civilization, on the other. |

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. » A NASA spacecraft has confirmed there's ice at Mercury's north pole.
Scientists announced today that the orbiting probe, Messenger, has found evidence of frozen water, even though Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. The ice is located in the permanently shadowed region of Mercury's north pole. It's thought to be at least one-and-a-half feet deep — and possibly as much as 65 feet deep.
Scientists say it's likely Mercury's south pole also has ice, though there are no data to support it. Messenger orbits much closer to the north pole than the south.
Radar measurements, for years, have suggested the presence of ice. Now scientists know for a fact.
Messenger is the first spacecraft to orbit Mercury. It was launched in 2004.

text: Officers beefed up security on Sunday in an upscale neighborhood in the subdistrict of Pluit, North Jakarta, following a theft at a convenience store in the area.North Jakarta Police chief Sr. Comr. Muhammad Iqbal said the police had arrested five people who had allegedly stole items from a 7-Eleven convenience store earlier on Sunday."We will conduct security patrols for 24 hours to avoid another incident," he told The Jakarta Post.Iqbal said police and army officers as well as residents had been working together to secure the neighborhood and help evacuate residents who were trapped in their houses by the flood."We've applied a one-gate system to patrol the area, so we can identify people who come and go," he said.Pluit is one of the four subdistricts in Penjaringan, North Jakarta, badly hit by floods since Friday evening. As many as 102 out of 267 subdistricts in Jakarta were affected by the floods on Saturday, with the number continuing to decline the following day, according to the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB).Of the total 270,000 Pluit residents, more than 7,000 have evacuated to 15 shelters.The BNPB said the flood in Pluit occurred as the Pluit Dam could not hold the water it had received from the Cideng River, in addition to damaged pumps in the river itself."The Cideng River received a bigger water flow due to the collapsed section of the West Flood Canal, and the pumps didn't work well either," BNPB spokesperson Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said. "The flood then worsened as the sea level also rose."Sutopo said that although the floods in some areas had started to recede, he asked people living in North Jakarta to keep alert as the sea level might be high, with the peak estimated to occur next Thursday and Saturday. The tides could trigger floods in some areas in North Jakarta.Jakarta Governor Joko "Jokowi" Widodo has ordered officials to prepare for possible high tides, just as the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) has predicted, while ensuring the safety of those affected by the floods."I want all mayors and district heads to ensure all basic needs for flood victims at all shelters are sufficient," he said at City Hall.Flooding in North Jakarta has also inundated the Muara Karang power plant.State power company PT PLN spokesman Bambang Dwijayanto said the inundation would result in temporary blackouts in several parts of the city on Monday, as the power plant supplies electricity to substations in Budi Kemuliaan and Kebon Sirih, both in Central Jakarta.In some areas, floods have started to recede, but the BNPB recorded a significant increase in the total number of evacuees, from around 18,000 to 40,425 people throughout the capital as of Sunday.The death toll in Greater Jakarta also increased to 27 as of Sunday.Sunday also saw repair work almost completed on the collapsed section of the West Flood Canal near Jl. Latuharhary in Central Jakarta.The canal's section, which collapsed on Thursday, had cut off the rail track between Manggarai station in South Jakarta and Sudirman station in Central Jakarta."If all heavy machines are moved from the line on Sunday, we can start the trial of the track and resume services on Monday," state railway operator PT KAI spokesman Mateta Rizalulhaq said.All Transjakarta corridors resumed operations on Sunday although some buses could not reach the last stop as lanes were still flooded. The government held a meeting on Sunday to further discuss plans to prevent more flooding, including the opening of a new waterway that could channel the Ciliwung River into the East Flood Canal.

Window.DialogResult Property
Gets or sets the dialog result value, which is the value that is returned from the ShowDialog method.
Namespace: System.Windows
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
[TypeConverterAttribute(typeof(DialogResultConverter))] public Nullable<bool> DialogResult { get; set; }
Property Value
Type: System.Nullable<Boolean>A Nullable<T> value of type Boolean. The default is false.
Exception | Condition |
InvalidOperationException | DialogResult is set before a window is opened by calling ShowDialog. -or- DialogResult is set on a window that is opened by calling Show. |
DialogResult can be used from the code that showed a dialog box to determine whether a user accepted (true) or canceled (false) the dialog box. If a dialog box was accepted, this signifies to the code that opened the dialog box to retrieve the data that was collected by the user and process it. If a dialog box was canceled, however, this signifies that calling code should stop any further processing.
By default, a dialog box is canceled when a user does one of the following:
Clicks the Close button.
Selects Close from the System menu.
In all of these cases, DialogResult is false by default.
A dialog box typically provides a special button to cancel a dialog, which is the button whose IsCancel property is set to true. A button configured this way will automatically close a window when either it is pressed, or when the ESC key is pressed. In either of these cases, DialogResult remains false.
A dialog box also typically provides an accept button, which is the button whose IsDefault property is set to true. A button configured this way will raise its Click event when either it or the ENTER key is pressed. However, it won't automatically close the dialog box, nor will it set DialogResult to true. You need to manually write this code, usually from the Click event handler for the default button.
DialogResult is null when the dialog box is shown but neither accepted nor canceled.
After a dialog box closes, you can get the dialog result from the value returned by ShowDialog method, or by inspecting the DialogResult property.
DialogResult can only be set when a Window is opened by calling its ShowDialog method.
Note |
You cannot set or get this property when a window is hosted in a browser. |
The following example shows how to configure an OK button and a Cancel button to return the appropriate DialogResult.
<Button IsDefault="True" Click="acceptButton_Click">OK (IsDefault=True)</Button> <Button IsCancel="True">Cancel (IsCancel=True)</Button>
using System; using System.Windows; using System.Windows.Controls; namespace CSharp { public partial class DialogBox : Window { public DialogBox() { InitializeComponent(); } // The accept button is a button whose IsDefault property is set to true. // This event is raised whenever this button is clicked, or the ENTER key // is pressed. void acceptButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { // Accept the dialog and return the dialog result this.DialogResult = true; } } }

November 3, 2010 Modern Orthodoxy and Rabbinic Authority – Rabbi Barry Gelman |
Rabbi Benny Lau has written an impassioned plea for education towards independent thought within the Religious Zionist / Modern Orthodox community. He criticizes blind obedience to Torah sages. Such obedience e, Rabbi Lau argues, leads to a "culture of dependency and submission." This, in turn, represses independent thought and personal freedom. I agree with Rabbi Lau's overall contentions. I offer three points in response. There is no denying that Orthodox Judaism does call for a degree of surrendering personal autonomy. We mustn't leave our children with the impression that "anything goes" as long as they arrive at their conclusions with clear thinking. |

I am looking at getting a high end gaming machine and would like to get the AMD 6990M.
But i am not sure if it supports switchable graphics when paried with an i7, if it does not then the battery when used for office tasks is going to last all of 5 seconds. In which case the Nvida 580M looks much better as it does support switchable graphics (although it is more expensive and not as fast)

I know this is a long shot.
I heard this song for about a min.
I do not know the song title, or the band, or writer.
The song had a wicked bass the entire time I was listening. As if the bass was playing lead. Heard it last month.
Have not heard it since.
It had a rock beat. Not soul or rap.
I would imagine its a pretty new song.
I've tried a search in all variables listening for this lick.
If this rigs a bell to someone I would like to find it.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The University of Nevada men's tennis team was eliminated from the Mountain West tournament on Thursday, falling to rival No. 62 UNLV by a score of 6-1.
The No. 6 seed Wolf Pack (9-12) couldn't get past the No. 3 seed Rebels (17-6) in the quarterfinal matchup, and was eliminated from postseason contention. The win also gave UNLV three points in the Governors Series Presented by NV Energy. Nevada recorded only two victories, one in both singles and doubles. Despite the tough finish, head coach Erik Burton is looking forward to next season.
"It's always tough to go out in the conference tourney, no matter when it is," he said. "That's what you play all season for. But we will come out next year with a vengeance and storm through the tournament."
Co-captain Quentin Mege seized the Pack's only singles victory, as he defeated Bernard Schoeman in straight sets 6-3, 6-2. Victor Ouvrard and Robert Allan were the victorious doubles pair, as they powered past Carlos Di Laura and Gilad Berman by a score of 8-5.
The Mountain West announced its Men's Tennis All-Mountain West today, and three Nevada players have earned a spot for the first time in their respective careers. Victor Ouvrard snatched a singles honor, as he was 9-9 in dual matches this season, with six victories from position one. The doubles pair of Fernando Sunago and Andrew Poustie were also recognized among the best in the conference, as they posted a 9-4 record, with a 6-1 mark from position two.

Beachwalker Park – Charleston, South Carolina
South Carolina | SC Picture Project | Charleston County Photos | Beachwalker Park
Beachwalker County Park is the only public beach access on Kiawah Island. There are 11 miles of pristine, open beach at the park, and lifeguards are on duty seasonally to watch over swimmers. The park is a great place to spend the day with friends and family, offering unmatched ocean and river views. There are also restrooms, picnic areas with grills, outdoor showers, a seasonal snack bar, and boardwalk trails.
This photograph of Beachwalker Park, submitted by Melanie Thomas of Johns Island, won our SC Swimming Holes" photo contest in July 2009.
Melanie says "one of my favorite activities, and main form of exercise, is to bicycle to Charleston's Beachwalker County Park and bike on the beach. It is great exercise, wonderfully relaxing, and offers a chance to observe the ever-changing and beautiful coastline. On this particular evening I had rushed home after working at the Hollings Cancer Center, and hurried to the beach to catch the last minutes of daylight. The tides were extremely high this week due to the new moon. This beautiful view of the Kiawah River from Beachwalker Park forced me to slow down, focus on the moment, and appreciate my good fortune to be living in the SC Lowcountry."
Learn more about the Beachwalker County Park here.
Beachwalker Park Add Info and More Photos
The purpose of the South Carolina Picture Project is to celebrate the beauty of the Palmetto State and create a permanent digital repository for our cultural landmarks and natural landscapes. We invite you to add additional pictures (paintings, photos, etc) of Beachwalker Park, and we also invite you to add info, history, stories, and travel tips.

Against all odds, South Eastern Europe's electricity grid was able to withstand soaring consumption during the January gas crisis between Russia and Ukraine. Collapse in any of the countries would have triggered a long-lasting regional blackout, experts told EurActiv.
A blackout of a much larger magnitude than the November 2006 power failure in Germany, which plunged millions of people into darkness in several European countries, was narrowly avoided in January 2009 in South Eastern Europe, various experts told EurActiv.
Fortunately, electricity systems managed to cope with the situation, said a European Commission expert, who preferred not to be named. He said the risk was greatest during two very cold days at the beginning of the crisis, before district heating systems in some of the affected countries had been switched from gas to petrol.
Although electricity consumption was very high, the systems were able to withstand the pressure.
"It was a very nice surprise that in all countries of the region, electricity systems working at the limit of their capacities managed to cope, and the electricity grid remained stable. The possibility of a cascading crisis, if a minor incident had happened, was a genuine risk with very dramatic consequences," including "a blackout for the entire region," the expert explained.
Grids 'benefited' from the economic slowdown
Gabriela Cretu of the Energy Community Treaty - the legal framework that extends the EU energy market to the Western Balkans - told EurActiv that a number of factors helped the grids to deal with the difficult situation.
"The difficult situation with the grids at that moment in fact benefited from the economic slowdown, due to the global crisis. Consumption was therefore not so high as to threaten the stability of the interconnected systems in Europe. Moreover, the gas crisis took place during a period of winter holidays, with less activity in the economy and production," Cretu explained.
She mentioned another lucky coincidence in that "hydrology was good" at the time of the crisis.
The regional blackout risk would be much larger in the event of an accident in a big system, like Romania, Bulgaria or Serbia's, Cretu added.
The expert also explained that the UCTE (Union for the Coordination of Transmission of Electricity) to a certain extent provides a cushion, without being a panacea.
"UCTE operating standards require, on the one hand, the system to cover the foreseeable demand, and on the other hand, provide for interoperability of systems in case of failure. Depending on the system affected, it is helped by the overall system, but only to a certain extent," Cretu said.
Alfred Schuch from the Energy Community Treaty secretariat in Vienna told EurActiv that one of the advantages for the countries of the Western Balkan region of being part of this organisation is being invited, as equal partners, to the Gas Coordination Group, which twice met in Brussels during the crisis to exchange data. He also highlighted the recent establishment of a regional Security of Supplies Coordination Group, which will deal with both electricity and gas.
In an anecdotal aside, Schuch also recalled that many experts were on leave for the Orthodox Christmas celebrations at the time of the crisis. But they all provided the necessary information, working from their home computers or by going to the office, he explained. "This is proof that the Energy Community Treaty works," he said.
How the different countries reacted
Experts said the damage of the gas crisis is probably impossible to measure. Bulgaria was singled out as the country most affected. It has only one gas storage facility, which allowed the country to cover just a third of its normal consumption over the crisis. The country's industry was most affected, with factories having to shut down. District heating systems had to switch to oil.
But a Commission expert said stopping industrial activity at a time of economic crisis is "sometimes good".
In Macedonia, gas is only used in some industries, which had to stop their activities. Romania, on the other hand, was not significantly affected and was able to guarantee adequate supplies during the crisis.
As for Serbia, it is totally dependent on Russian gas imports. A storage facility in Banatski Dvor is almost ready, but is not yet complete. 60% of the gas in Serbia is used for industry, with the rest going on district heating, for example. Serbia received additional gas from Hungary during the crisis, covering about half of normal consumption.
Bosnia and Herzegovina uses gas for district heating, and there were several days of lengthy heating disruption in Sarajevo. But the country was also able to switch some of this to oil, and it also received gas from Serbia. In view of past conflicts, this has been highlighted by observers as a very important political gesture.
Croatia produces gas, but it still had to reduce its consumption and harness the potential of its storage facility. Croatia cooperates with Italy for offshore gas production, and thus the two countries were able to decrease output to Italy and increase the flow to Croatia.
"The consequences were not as dramatic as they could have been. Also, with the fact that oil prices were down, switching to oil did not prove expensive," the expert concluded.
Other energy experts said the countries in the region are not considering legal recourse with Gazprom, "because the relationship is more important than the possibility" of success. Bosnia and Herzegovina, for example, is one country with a "huge debt to Gazprom" and so "its hands are tied," the source said.
"Gazprom is a very important investor in the region, not only with gas," he added.

PANDORA, AN AMERICAN IN PRAGUE ZOE MYONAS ISBN: 0615477623, 978-0615477626 April 2011 Blackbear Books www.amazon.com Paperback / E-Book $9.99 / $3.99 202 Pages Romantic Erotica Rating: 4 Cups
Living in Prague has been a dream come true for Pandora Krizova and her husband Ty. She loves the look and feel of the city, and is more than happy with the way her shop, Pandora's Box, has prospered.
Being Czech himself, Ty was not worried about coming back to Prague, but after being in America for so many years, he is no longer considered a local. Ty must contend with the old way of doing business in Prague, and if he is not careful, he could lose everything.
With her lingerie shop doing so well, Pandora finally realizes she needs to let loose a little and really enjoy her life, and especially her husband. They have always had an amazing sex life, but there is always room for improvement. Ty and Pandora decide to explore their fantasies, and see where it takes them, but it seems their sex life may be the least of their concerns. Ty must rely on government officials to complete his contracts, and Pandora is not against fighting dirty when one crooked bureaucrat sets him up for a fall.
Openness and honesty are the basis for any good marriage, but Ty and Pandora clearly show how adventure and creativity are equally as important. Pandora takes Ty's fantasies and explores them thoroughly, and not only Ty but you, the reader, get to enjoy the full fruits of her labors. It is Pandora's fantasies I find to be a little more suspect, and I think she does not give Ty the full disclosure he deserves. This story, however, is incredibly erotic, and whether the scenes involve f/f, f/m, or f/m/m etc. you always feel right there in the moment.

On the contrary 2-4GB should be just fine for typical live buffering use. If you want an hour worth of HDTV buffering you're probably better off setting timers to record the shows you want but regardless you can just add more ram to support more buffering time. Btw, I have several hour-long HDTV recordings and none of them go over 3GB.

Trot Poles I have been reading on here that a great way to help with balance, footing, and help building muscle is trotting over poles (correct me if I am wrong). I set 3 poles up in the arena to lunge Thunder over today. I set them up so they were in 3 equal positions around the circle. We have never really done this exercise, so I had him walk over them first and then we did some walk/trot/whoa/ reverse. Several times he either kicked the poles or stepped on them, or tripped lol. There were times though when I noticed it was helping him "spring" up a bit more with lifting his feet. Question is.. am I doing this exercise correctly? Also, is it normal for a young/green horse to stumble over them at first and will he get better at it? |
I usually set them up all in a line, about 6 people steps apart instead of one placed a 1/3 of the way around a cirlce in your case. You can vary the length in between depending on your horse's stride. It is pretty normal for them to tick them and trip over them at first, just allow him to have his head and give him time to figure it out. |
Trot poles are seriously my best friend at time! I have a horse in training that litterally drags his left hind every step. I place the trot poles usually two strides apart, and use only two or three. It really helps them concentrate, lift and bring not only their feet up but their belly. It can really help with horses that have bad backs. Its really normal for him to stumble on them at first, and after a couple times of doing it ur horse should really improve, especially after that muscle is built to help the horse lift its feet farther off the ground. Sounds like ur doing everything right and like it was a good idea to try this since ur horse is hitting them he doesn't know how to pick those feet up yet. |
Thanks so much guys!! Ya im really excited about it, he seemed to really be concentrating (he was getting bored with regular routine). And he is particular about dragging his feet as well, so it was nice seeing them lifting off the ground lol. Thanks again! and Ill try the straight line as well :) |
The poles should be heavy enough that they don't roll when he's clumsy over them. I would try a straight line first to help him get the hang of it. Normal trot distance is 4'6" between poles, but find the spacing that helps him figure it out best to start with. Poles are great for getting them to pick up their feet and be more careful where they place them. |
Great thread, been wanting to know some things about this as well for my 3 year old! Thanks! |
Ya there's some really helpful info here! im excited to try it again later this week. |
haha good luck! Some of the horses I have in training have trouble just walking over them when ground driving them. It makes such a big difference on the horse. |
Instead of using jumping poles, invest in some cavaletti or simply nail Xs to the end of your poles. This way you can first of all vary the height and second of all they will not roll, which can end up in an accident. Then i would suggest that instead of putting them one at a time, start to put them down so that for two steps in a row he is trotting over them, then three, then four. This will be gradual but to get maximum benefit from trotting poles the horse needs to go through them in a row sequence. Once he is used to trotting through the poles in a normal stride, you can slightly lengthen and shorten the distances between them to increase his range of motion as well. Good luck! |
oh thats a good idea thanks! i can't really do anything with the poles (logs really) because they belong to the barn and they are moved often. thanks again for the tip~ |

Metropolis(1927)A futuristic look at the schism created in mankind as industrialization and technological advancement serves to alienate the humans from one another. People are divided into two groups: the thinkers--who make plans, yet don't know how to operate machinery, and the workers--who forward production without having any overview vision. Completely separate, neither group is complete; however, together they make a whole. When one man, a "thinker," dares to journey to the underground, where the workers 'slave away,' he's surprised at what he sees. For more about Metropolis and the Metropolis Blu-ray release, see Metropolis Blu-ray Review published by Casey Broadwater on November 12, 2010 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.5 out of 5. Director: Fritz Lang Writers: Fritz Lang, Thea von Harbou Starring: Alfred Abel, Gustav Fröhlich, Rudolf Klein-Rogge, Brigitte Helm, Theodor Loos, Erwin Biswanger » See full cast & crew Metropolis Blu-ray, Video QualityThe restoration of Metropolisa collaborative effort by the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau Foundation, the Deutsche Kinemathek, and the Museo del Cinehas yielded a version of the film that is not only narratively complete, but also visually stunning. KINO's 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer is a beauty to behold. Let's get the obvious out of the way first: the 25-minutes of restored footage, taken from a 16mm reduction dupe of an extremely damaged 35mm print, isn't of the highest fidelity. The image is soft and streaked with vertical scratches, so much so that, at times, it almost looks like the picture is being projected onto a waterfall. (You'll understand when you see it in motion.) This material is windowboxed on three sides to preserve visual, proportional continuity, as the 16mm dupe slightly cropped the original aspect ratio. It's an elegant solution to a tricky problem, and while the switch between sources is jarring at first, you quickly get used to it. The bulk of the film, taken from an original 35mm negative and early prints, looks wonderful. The picture has been given a frame-by-frame clean-up, removing nearly all of the specks and scratches that have eaten away at the nitrate negative in the intervening decades. Just as impressive, there's little evidence of the digital makeover. The image has natural-looking film grain, and there are few compression artifacts or other quirks. Clarity varies, as you might expect, but most of the film is quite sharp, and I found my figurative jaw dropping frequently over the amount of detail that can be seen in Joh's herringbone coat and the plating of the Machine-Man. Black levels are strong as well, and the monochromatic gradation is satisfying, with tightbut never overblowncontrast. Overall, I'm more than pleased. There were moments when I honestly couldn't get over how good the film looks now. Metropolis Blu-ray, Audio QualityJust as the 16mm dupe provided a blueprint for how to restructure the film, the recent acquisition of the folio of composer Gottfried Huppert's 1927 score gave the restoration team numerous clues about the pacing of the film and the timing of the editing. This orchestral scorea bombastic affair that borrows from Wagner and Strausshas been newly recorded and presented here in two formats: a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track, and a LPCM 2.0 stereo fold-down. Both options sound rich and dynamically full. I have no complaints whatsoeverthis is the original score, reproduced wonderfullybut some folks might understandably be miffed that KINO hasn't also included the fan-favorite score by The Alloy Orchestra. No subtitle options are offeredor requiredas the original German intertitles have been replaced with all-new English ones. Purists may growl, but the restoration team at least used a classy, period-accurate font. Metropolis: Other Editions

Getting Your Master's May Be Easier Than You Think
So, you're thinking about a master's degree? For many a master's can be just the edge they need to advance in their fields, earn raises, or make the leap into another career. So what are the benefits of a master's degree and what's it going to take to earn one?
A master's degree is an opportunity to develop expertise in your field, or a new area you've always been interested in exploring. In the fast-paced, competitive job market of today, a master's degree can help you stand out from the crowd and get you the job you've always dreamed of. Moreover, statistics show that people with master's or Professional degrees typically make anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000 more than people with just a bachelor's.
How long does it take to earn a Master's Degree?
Most master's programs can be completed in two years after a bachelor's degree. However, with a wide range of master's offerings LCU can cater a program to fit you exactly where you are. Some programs, such as our Master's of Leadership are conducted through Flex Courses which offer a combination of online and weekend class sessions for working adults, while other programs may be completed through night classes, short courses, or standard on-campus offerings.
What types of Master's Degrees does LCU offer?
The most common master's degrees are the Master of Arts (MA) and the Master of Science (MS). Which degree you earn will depend on the program you choose to enter. LCU offers master's degrees in a variety of fields, from ministry to education. Moreover, not all LCU master's degrees require a master's thesis, providing new alternative solutions for busy adults.
Check out our master's offerings on the left for more information about a specific program.
We also offer some master's degrees online.
