WASHINGTON (March 21, 2005)—The U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops today launched a Catholic Campaign to End the Use of the Death Penalty. Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, Archbishop of Washington, declared, "We cannot teach that killing is wrong by killing. We cannot defend life by taking life." Speaking at the National Press Club on behalf of the U.S. bishops' conference, Cardinal McCarrick said, "The Catholic campaign will work to change the debate and decisions on the use of the death penalty: building a constituency for life, not death; calling on our lawmakers to lead, not follow; to defend life, not take it away. . . . This cause is not new. Our bishops' conference has opposed the death penalty for 25 years. But this campaign is new. It brings greater urgency and unity, increased energy and advocacy, and a renewed call to our people and to our leaders to end the use of the death penalty in our nation."
At the press conference, noted pollster John Zogby reported on an unprecedented survey of Catholic attitudes on the death penalty: "We found that support for the use of the death penalty among American Catholics has plunged in the past few years. The intensity of support has declined as well. In past surveys, Catholic support for the death penalty was as high as 68%. In our November survey, we found that less than half of the Catholic adults in our poll (48%) now support the use of the death penalty, while 47% oppose it. The percentage of Catholics who are intensely supportive of the death penalty has been halved, from a high of 40% to 20% in this survey." Zogby also reported that:
* The more often Catholics attend Mass, the less likely they are to support the use of the death penalty.
* The younger Catholics are, the less likely they are to support the death penalty.
* A third of Catholics who once supported the use of the death penalty now oppose it.
Among the major reasons Catholics gave for opposing the use of the death penalty was "respect for life." Two of three (63%) Catholics are deeply concerned about what the use of the death penalty "does to us as a people and a country," according to the surveys. (The charts used in the presentation are attached to this press release.)
Cardinal McCarrick emphasized the Church's commitment to victims of violence and their families as a central part of the campaign. Bud Welch, whose daughter Julie Marie was killed in the Oklahoma City bombing, made an impassioned plea: "My conviction is simple: More violence is not what Julie would have wanted. More violence will not bring Julie back. More violence only makes our society more violent. The Catholic Campaign to End the Use of the Death Penalty is another way for the Church to say no to more violence and no to our culture of death."
Cardinal McCarrick said the campaign is about "justice. . . . The death penalty in our land is deeply flawed." Demonstrating this reality, Kirk Bloodsworth told his story of coming into the Catholic faith on death row: "I spent eight years, 11 months and 19 days behind bars before DNA testing proved my innocence. Since 1973, more than 100 people have been exonerated from death row after being cleared of their charges. . . . Every bit of my story exemplifies the problems in the death penalty system. The same systemic flaws that led to my wrongful conviction . . . plague the cases of innocent people in prison and on death row." Cardinal McCarrick said, "the use of the death penalty cannot really be mended, it must be ended."
The Catholic Campaign, according to the Cardinal will "educate — in our parishes and schools, universities and seminaries. We need to share Catholic teaching with courage and clarity, reaching out to those who teach our children, write our textbooks, form our priests, and preach in our pulpits. This is a work of formation and persuasion, not simply proclamation. … The Catholic campaign will act — with continued advocacy in the Congress and state legislatures, in our legal briefs and before the courts. . . . This is just a beginning."
The Catholic campaign has a new website www.ccedp.org, which includes a basic brochure, clear explanation of the Church's teaching, and resources for education and action. It includes the many statements of bishops around the country (e.g., powerful statements just in the past week by Archbishop Chaput of Denver and Bishop Wuerl of Pittsburgh ). It will include lesson plans for Catholic schools and religious education, action alerts, and tools for advocacy.
Cardinal McCarrick pointed out this campaign brings the Church together. Gail Quinn, Executive Director of the Secretariat for Pro Life Activities, welcomed the Catholic Campaign to End the Use of the Death Penalty. Ms. Quinn said, "This cause unites our pro life and social justice convictions in defense of human life and dignity. We are called to respect human life in all stages, and in all circumstances. I hope that Catholics will increasingly speak to their belief that the use of the death penalty in this nation must cease. We pledge to be an integral part of carrying out this campaign"
Cardinal McCarrick, once a supporter of the death penalty, concluded his statement by saying, "I'm not a young man. But as a pastor, teacher, and citizen, I hope I will see the day when the nation I love no longer relies on violence to confront violence. I pray I will see the day when we have given up the illusion that we can teach that killing is wrong by killing."

I am fortunate enough to live in a very family-centered community, which constantly provides our neighborhood with opportunities for support and connecting with other families. Playgroups, outings, interactive storytime directed towards infants, and regular speakers having to do with family life are constantly provided to us. So I was excited about our speaker of the month, Kim West, aka "The Sleep Lady."
The timing was perfect. Milo still awakens like clockwork every 2 hours demanding to nurse, and I'm starting to believe there is no end in sight! Oftentimes he ends up in bed between Andrew and me (with Proudie also stuffed in there) in the early morning, and I have no recollection of having brought him there! I know it happens sometime after the 4th awakening, when I am so tired I am not making rational decisions… but I wasn't planning to co-sleep (except for maybe the occasional nap during the day), so I don't want to make a habit of this. I love sleeping with Milo, but I don't want a real problem on my hands when we have an 8-year-old still sleeping with us (no, seriously, La Leche League actually supports this!).
So I'm trying out what Kim West calls "the shuffle." I first need to stop feeding Milo every time he wakes up (last night we skipped one feeding, but during the four hours he was not nursing, I was up 3 times, basically awake from 12am until 2am and again at 3am), then I will progress to "supporting" him while he teaches himself how to fall asleep. This technique is based on simple behavior modification without letting baby cry it out, but also without picking him up (unless he is hysterical). So I sat in a chair beside his crib half-asleep, patting, shushing, and humming until he put himself back to sleep. I hope this works, because man am I tired!
In the spirit of things, this picture is the aftermath of a long guitar-playing session with Andrew standing over Milo. Milo was so engaged and entertained, he did not fuss or show signs of sleepiness until he was just dead to the world. He loves a good tune!
Let's hope for more of this bliss tonight!


text: and do you have any proof that they are pirated? you know that "pirated" connotes a negative impression. i think that they are not pirated at all. being pirated is one thing, staying ang growing with the choir is another thing. thanks for pointing out that some are thomasians. it reall makes us proud that they preferred to be with the ACGC.

The Broadway Green Alliance's 2013 TEXTILE DRIVE Will Be Held Wednesday, March 27th from 11am - 1pm in Duffy Square
March 13, 2013
Theater fans and pros help keep clothing, accessories, and household items out of landfills
The Broadway Green Alliance (BGA) is sponsoring a textile drive for the theater industry and its fans on Wednesday, March 27th from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm in Duffy Square at 46th Street and Broadway. The collection drive is open to all shows, theaters, industry members and fans.
Collection drive efforts in the fall of 2012 garnered 1750 pounds of materials. Textiles were donated from the casts and crews of 20 shows, many costume shops and theatre-related businesses, plus theater patrons on their way to Wednesday matinees.
Goods will be collected by Wearable Collections, who will make sure that 96% of everything collected gets re-purposed or recycled. They accept all used clean clothing, including shoes, handbags, belts, and hats, and household & backstage items: curtains, linens, and towels (carpeting is not accepted).
Wearable Collections will donate a portion of the proceeds to the Broadway Green Alliance to aid in the BGA's efforts to make Broadway greener. Although the BGA will not be distributing receipts for tax deductions, the IRS allows donators to claim up to $500 worth of clothing donations without a receipt.
"At BGA we want to give members of the theatre community the opportunity to keep tons of used costumes, towels, sheets and other textiles out of landfills," says BGA coordinator Rebekah Sale. "This year we have partnered again with Wearable Collections, a company that in 2012 diverted 2 million pounds of textiles. With their help, we are continuing to keep Broadway green."
Industry members unable to attend the event are welcome to drop off their textiles at one of three locations: TWU Local 764 at 545 West 45th Street, Actors' Equity Association at 165 West 46th Street (14th Floor), or Local 802 AFM at 322 West 48th Street (during regular business hours).
THE BROADWAY GREEN ALLIANCE (BGA) educates, motivates and inspires the entire theater community and its patrons to implement environmentally friendlier practices. The BGA (formerly Broadway Goes Green) was launched in 2008 as an ad hoc committee of The Broadway League and has become a program of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids. The BGA brings together all segments of the theater community, including producers, theaters in New York and around the country, theatrical unions and their members, and related businesses. Working closely with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the BGA identifies and disseminates better practices for theater professionals and reaches out to theater fans throughout the country. For more information, visit www.broadwaygreen.com.
WEARABLE COLLECTIONS is a socially responsible clothing recycling company that makes it as easy for New Yorkers to recycle their clothing, as it is to recycle cans, bottles and newspapers. Wearable Collections provides a no cost solution to textile recycling within residential buildings in New York City. Through this process they not only divert textiles from landfills, but also are able to raise money for charitable organizations. www.wearablecollections.com
THE BROADWAY LEAGUE , founded in 1930, is the national trade association for the Broadway industry. The League's 700-plus members include theatre owners and operators, producers, presenters, and general managers who present in nearly 200 markets in North America, as well as suppliers of goods and services to the theatre industry. Each year, League members bring Broadway to nearly 30 million people in New York and on tour across the U.S. and Canada.

Quick (dumb) question; where are save states now stored? I'm not on a Windows box so I can't easily browse the internal memory and I don't see them in the rom dir or the exe dir when using the OS browser on the device. I've some save states from version 1.2 (and I can see those in the OS browser) I want to copy/move so that v2 can load them.
in this version (as opposed to 1.2) is impossible to choose rom from micro sd card. is it possible to add sd card support to rom browser? It seems, there is no "app" emulator which it can, unfortunately.
may be better to make in the form of SIM with Rom Browser support ? we will get support of sd card and zip files (zip - only from local memory)

2012 Fryeburg Fair
FRYEBURG — Fryeburg Fair, established in 1851, will host its 162nd annual eight-day fair September 30-October 7 in Fryeburg. As always, Fryeburg Fair, considered to be one of the best agricultural fairs in the U.S., offers non-stop livestock, agriculture and farming exhibitions with over 3,000 head of cattle, horses, sheep, goats, hogs, poultry, rabbits, oxen and more.
This year's Fair debuts its new and innovative Specialty Foods Pavilion, a 6,800-square-foot building with farmer's porches on the ends and 34 vendor spaces. Superintendent Jean Andrews says, "We are very excited about the opening of our new endeavor! We are hoping to promote local agriculture and our local economy."
Traditional Fair events include Woodsmen's Field Day, horse and ox pulling, draft horse tandem hitches up to eight, pig scrambles, calf scrambles, cooking contests, flower shows, exhibition halls of crafts, handiwork, photos, art, forest and wood products; a full museum of old farm equipment and memorabilia with live demonstrations; the "Little Red Schoolhouse" built in 1835; the milking parlor, firemen's musters, sheepdog trials, tractor pulling, 4WD pulls and pari-mutuel harness racing on the Fair's half-mile track.
Don't miss the Fair's Fiber Center which this year only features the very unique "Maine Coral Reef Project," a beautiful, internationally inspired exhibit of crocheting and knitting depicting a real coral reef.
Entertainment is everywhere with singers, musicians, bands, and performers in the Fair's park areas. This year's Night Show headliners are The Jonathan Sarty Band, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Asleep at the Wheel, Jo Dee Messina, Craig Campbell and Lexi James.
The Fair is known for the best French fries made with the finest local Maine potatoes, along with an incredible variety of choices for everyone. The annual Fireworks show on Friday night at 9 p.m. (right after the Night Show ends) is always fantastic and Saturday's 10 a.m. Grand Parade is two hours of Fryeburg Fair's best on display.
General Admission is $10 daily and includes 8 p.m. Night Shows. Children under 12 always free. Tuesday is Senior Citizens' Day (65 and over are admitted free). Gates open at 7 a.m. Harness Racing is at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. For further information on Fryeburg Fair, go to www.fryeburgfair.org or call the Fair Office at 935-3268.

Yeah, you should probably all just quit your jobs. Freebird, bitch!
And a cautionary tale about self-inflicted teenage stoner brain damage.
body lotion
After my showers back in college, my big, nasty frat house bathroom would smell like a giant candy cane, which all the idiots I lived with seemed to love, and so did I.
seasonal affective disorder
I want to crawl into a hole for the winter and emerge looking pretty just in time for spring.
When my beautiful, all-natural-without-being-granola aunt (who is only seven years my senior) suggested that my hair could be cleansed with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and conditioned with vinegar (acetic acid), I was super skeptical.
It's fun and cheap! Also, peep this pic of me in the shower.
I love anything in the beauty world that is customizable to ME.
Shampoo + Sea Salt = Miss California Hair?
color care
The fantastic products I've been using to keep my dead and damaged hair looking lively.
body wash
My life has been so boring lately that today I'm literally writing about what I've been using in the shower, and you just have to deal.
bath products
I couldn't survive without my bathtub, and all of the wonderful products inside of it.

Welcome to your complete resource for all the happenings and developments for the Columbia Waterfront project taking place along the north shore of the Columbia River in Vancouver, Washington. Newest updates will be at the top of the list. Feel free to scan down and check them all out. Thanks for stopping by.
Columbia Waterfront Development Moving Forward
Today Gramor Development will be making application to the City of Vancouver to officially begin the $1 billion dollar conversion of the old Boise Cascade site. This project will completely transform the southernmost portion of downtown Vancouver along the Columbia River. The 32 acre Boise site has sat vacant for years and has offered no river presence or river life for the residents of Vancouver. That is all about to change.
If you look at the above photo, the Columbia Waterfront development will begin along the west side of the Red Lion Inn at the Quay and extend to the west almost to the far left edge of the photo. This project will include 3,300 residential units, 250,000 square feet of retail space and approximately 1.000,000 square feet of commercial space.
Changing the face of Vancouver, WA
This growth will completely change the face of Vancouver, WA. It will bring a life and vitality to our downtown core that has been slowly waking up over the last 10 years. It will connect all the new growth around beautiful Esther Short Park to the Columbia River. It will draw us in and invite us to live, work and play along the river. Be able to truly enjoy this amazing piece of land we've been blessed with.
We likely won't see any completion until 2012 but this will begin the process to make it a reality. The entire development will likely build out over 10 to 15 years depending upon how the market continues to heal.
Development Along The Columbia River Getting Attention
Columbia Waterfront development is making progress. I recently attended a meeting at the City of Vancouver all about this $1 billion dollar project. Below is the video flyover built by the architect that shows what this could look like.
However it ends up, it will completely change the face of Vancouver, WA for the better (and I love this place already).

Oh, and yet another prejudiced comment coming from the prophet cjensen. He knows how easy it is to get .36 caliber bullets for this weapon on any street corner (sarcasm), and operate this weapon with ease. Unreal. I'm pretty sure this one is decommissioned and is a musum artifact. It won't kill people. Don't worry about it. You have millions upon millions of other guns and exponentially more ammo out there to worry with.

The rapid river. Don't go until they limit numbers. Spoke to staff they said they have had loads of complaints and told managers but not listened to.

The responsible Sophie led a relatively normal life, safe within the walls of the hat shop in which she works; for outside, it is rumored, the evil wizard Howl roams the land in his mobile black castle. After a chance and mystical encounter, poor Sophie finds herself transformed by a spell which makes her appear to be an old woman, and thus embarks on an adventure to find Howl's castle and put an end to her curse. A mystical world of talking flames, sentient scarecrows and magic aplenty awaits those who seek the legendary Howl...
Chihiro and her family are on their way to their new home, when they discover an abandoned amusement park. After Chihiro's family mysteriously turn into pigs, she is thrown into a surreal world of magic and fantasy. Join her as she struggles to survive in the bathhouse of the gods, ruled by an evil witch who has stolen not only her name, but her way back to the real world.
Both anime are produced by Miyazaki, and both have that mythical fantasy feel to them. While Spirited Away is more for kids, Howl's Moving Castle can be enjoyed by children and young adults alike.
Regardless of the fact that these are both made by Studio Ghibli, both Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle have a similar fantasy feel that many other Ghibli movies do not share. Each is filled with cute creatures, magic, and mayhem that will delight you. I liked Spirited Away a lot more, but Howl's is also good (if not a bit vacant in story).
It's actually a bit of a too obvious of a connection between Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away; both stories deal with a young girl who gets catapulted into a series of supernatural events against her own wishes. And in both movies they have to learn to become responsible (although Sophie already seems to have learned that) and discover what their lives are about.
Both learn that through hard work, dedication and love they can find their true path in life. Basically both stories have many similarities in trying to showcase the learning and growing up process of the main female character.
Both movies being Studio Ghibli also means the atmosphere and animation style is very closely related. The mystical creatures, the magic, the odd ball characters and the feel-good fairytale atmosphere are exceptionally identical in both.
Both Spirited Away and Howl's take place in a fantasy world and are about a heroine who tries to overcome obstacles to help the ones she loves. Both movies demonstrate a feeling of one's own independence and ability to do what you have to do to succeed.
Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle are visually stunning experiences with a strong surreal underpinning behind coming of age narratives. In both movies a magical world unfolds before bewildered young heroines who must claim a new position within apparent chaos. Spirited Away is more hectic and upbeat while Howl's focus on darker themes such as war and violence. Yet both invoke the same spirit of beautiful natural scenes rendered sublime by Miyazaki's unique style.
It is to Studio Ghibli's credit that I find it hard to search out other anime that aren't in Miyazaki's sphere to recommend here. Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle are very different yet share great strengths, whether it is in fantasy story-telling, beautiful animation, or very involving characters.
Both of these films focus on a strong heroine, and a complex male counterpart, giving study to themes of struggle, love, and relationships in intricate and fantastically-developed settings and plots. Both are of the highest quality anime filmmaking out there, and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending both of them to even the non-anime film fans that I know.
They are a joy to watch with the whole family.
The animation is the same in Howl's and Spirited Away; I believe it was done by the same artist.
Well anyways, if you liked one you will like the other because the story line is basically the same.
A magical world with unseen creatures, spells, dragons, and wizards - that's what "Spirited Away" and "Howl's Castle" are all about. They are drawn in an amazing style with beautiful backgrounds, and are very fun.
These beautifully animated films are a magical display of Hayao Miyazaki's fine ability as a director; both are fantasy-based tales of courage, love and personal journeys - if you're a fan of one, then it is without a doubt that you will love the other.
Both Howl's and Spirited Away share the same style, animation and character design, as both are works of Hayao Miyazaki. They are entertaining and keep you in suspense from beginning until end. Each is a story about a simple girl who enters the world of magic, a cute young wizard, evil witches and mysterious characters that come and help along the way.
Both Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle take you on a journey into a magical and surprising world full of love, challenge and surprise! Both movies are beautiful, imaginative and are filled with unique characters who will steal your heart.
Both Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away were made by Studio Ghibli, and their amazing art and storylines never seem to fade. These movies are both are fantasy-based and have a variety of strange creatures. They each follow the story of a young girl who must deal with a sudden and very large change in her life that she has to overcome with the help of anyone and everyone she comes across. If you liked one, you'll like the other.
Both Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle offer tales of young girls getting caught up in the world of magic, working for mystical beings, and still managing to find love among it all. To top it off, both were produced by the same studio, and both offer the same beautiful animation styles.
Both of these "fish-out-of-water" movies center around average and everyday girls who wind up in fantastic magical worlds, in which everything seems out of their control. Both girls find adventure, tragedy, love, and a happy ending.
In both movies, Miyazaki Hayao does a great job in creating a magical and fantastic universe where dreams and reality intermingle. Plus the heroes are cute. =)
In both Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle, the lead character is a young girl who must find her way in unfamiliar surroundings, and rise against the odds to triumph over the curse that has been placed on them or their familiy. For Chihiro in Spirited Away that means finding her way home and finding a way to help her parents, and for Sophie in Howl it means finding out how to reverse the curse that has been put on her.
These Studio Ghibli films have a dark side to them too - some of the characters are indeed very menacing (the universe is filled with wonderful, weird and charming creatures in both films) and the story itself in both cases is well thought through and deep - there is much more to tell here than just a couple of simple fairy tales.
A girl sets footsteps in a world full of magic and mystery!she has to face her deepest fears and become who she realy is and only then she can protect her loved ones and find her way through the chaos!both masterpieces done by miyazaki sensei portraiting the damage of wars and humans destructive powers to the nature in a bueatiful fantasy world reminding us to take a better care of the world we are leaving in!
Like to get whisked away into a world where anything goes, where magic rules the land and the fight against right and wrong, good and evil is present? well either of these anime are a great choice for you.
The age-old theme of being transported into an exciting and different world where the protagonist is the centre of attention is very present in many of Miyazakis' films, including these two. Both share the same overwhelming sensation of pure uncontrolled imagination being unleashed on the viewer.
Howl's Moving Castle feels like it's cut from the same inspiration that created Spirited Away. They both have a gentle approach to villains, little cute companions there for token purposes, an imaginative and whimsical setting, but most importantly, a show stealing female lead. If what you loved about either of these movies is the triumph of a heroine taken completely out of her natural element or the sugary sweet romance that's so typical of Ghibli, then the other will deliver your fix.
Both of these Anime share the story of a young girl on a grand adventure to discover something about themselves. Along the way they make friends and enemies, and sometimes even turn their enemies into friends!
Both movies are about relatively normal girls who get caught up in the world of the extraordinary/supernatural and have to rely on a mysterious magical stranger for help and guidance.
If you liked this because of unusual view of life, you would like the other. Both are created by Miayzaki and studio Ghibli and so the animation is also similar. Both contain magic. Both start with curse and end with love.
These two movies both start with the concept of a normal girl being warped into a different universe they never knew.
Both these movies are my favourite anime movies and I think the reason is because they both have such interesting plot lines that never take away from the main story line. The endings are realistic and the even though the story has no real theme or certain idea, the ride is well worth it.
The character developement is also very evident in each film. You can see how each of the females grow because of their companionship.
Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle both follow a female protagonist struggling to reverse a metamorphosis. Both films are magical pieces that are amazingly imaginative featuring dragons, witches and animated objects. And both are very enjoyable. Spirited Away is a bit more of an adventure story while Howl's Moving Castle is a bit more romantic but if you like one you'll probably like the other.
Both movies are by the same director, the animation style is the same, and both are a lot of fun. If you like one your probibly going to like the other. Although the story lines are very diffrent the both revolve around a young girls trying to make thier way agenst huge odds.
Both Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle depart from Studio Ghibli and Miyazaki's normal focus on nature. Though both follow a yound girl as the main character as she moves through a new, enchanting world, viewers may find the reactions Castle's Sophie to be more bearable, as her older age makes her more mature and resourceful.
Both anime tell a story about young girls who were forced to the other world. Both main characters are in love in "boy" that helped them and turned out to be a dragon/mage. There are many similarities about these anime. They are great anime to watch with whole family and enjoy it. Good for all ages.
Both Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away have the magic and fantasy feel. They involved girls who are trying to get rid of a curse which are placed on them or on the ones they love.
They are both Hayao Miyazaki films and are created by the same studio, Studio Ghibli, which promises the same art style in both.
I loved both these movies. I am a new fan of studio Ghilbi movies. Both movies have a hint of romance but it in no way shadows the overall story. Both are about finding the strengths and qualities within yourself which is apparent to others around you. They both have the fantasy and magical appeal. If you like animes with a great plot and slight but not overwhelming romance then you will love both these movies.
Miyazaki, as writer and director of many of his own movies, always takes you on an adventure, but, in these two movies, you will find that you are swept away to a completely new world, filled with magic, and new things to explore.
These two movies, both by Miyazaki, are amazing. The art is stunning and morals are learned while the audience still has a lot of fun. The storyline is also consuming, so you're never left wondering "how much longer till this is over?".
"Spirited Away" and "Howl's Moving Castle" feature shy and insecure "every girl" female protagonists who find inner strength and moxie after being thrust into extraordinary magical situations/lands. Stunning animation and complicated, endearing characters drive both of these classic Ghibli tales of growing up, growing old, and friendship.
Both of these films belong to the Studio Ghibli collection and this alone should make you enjoy the films. However, what makes these two films ideal for watching it the brilliance in the storytelling and the searching to find a way to remove the curse that is in place. The sheer brilliance of the films artistic nature and stunning soundtrack will make you enjoy both of them thoroughly.
I think that the best reason for recommending is that both of these animes come from the same studio: Ghibi and tha same director who's been praised with the academy award. Both are touching stories that you can watch even with small kids. What is more both are great to cheer you up on a clody day. I racommend you this with all my heart:)
The two films have a very similar feeling and animations. Both are very surreal and they have a "feel good" style.
Both animes have a fusion of humor and magic. The main characters walk into a door/portal and the have figure out how to free their loved ones.
Both Howl's Moving Caslte and Spirited Away have a heavy sense of magical escapism about them. Both share a slightly more light-hearted feeling to them whilst managing to mix in a good amount of drama. Both also have romantic overtones, moreso in Howl. If you liked the tone of one then definitely check out the other.
First of all they are both anime movies from studio ghibli, meaning they both have that sort of magical, fantasy kind of movie, also have both have quite a good plot and are both anime movies that i would denfinitely recomend watching.
because both are from magic worlds. The bad guys are in both cases sort of cute and minor characters are so sophisticated in both character and animation ways.
For starters, both movies are by Studio Ghibli and share the same fantastic art style, using flowing characters and meticulously detailed backgrounds, as well as great musical scores. They are both simply a joy to watch come alive.
Each casts the lead role as a girl who goes on a journey of self-discovery through some supernatural conflicts. Chihiro, the protagonist in Spirited Away, is much more selfish and irresponsible initially, while Sophie is quite responsible but lacking in personality and self-confidence, but both are forced to face these shortcomings and grow as a result.
They also have male leads that, while relatively powerful, are tied down by events which prevent them from having true freedom in life. The movies show how they attempt to overcome this situation.
Both anime have their more frightening portions but are completely family friendly. They are also both excellent quality movies in general. If you loved one you will like the other.
These two movies are very similar. The ideas are almost like a copy of each other! One week after I had seen Spirited Away, I saw Howl's Moving Castle, and yet I was amazed by it! They made me realize what love truly means!
Both the main characters seek help or get help from the other main character in order to get a curse lifted from either them or someone in their family. The main difference is that in Spirited Away, Haku knew Chihiro, but in Howl's Moving Castle they are just meeting each other (unless you count the time when Sophie goes back in time and sees Howl).
Both Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle are directed and written by Hayao Miyazaki. Both anime have the same art style and similar story about a girl who goes on a journey full of fantasy and magic. If you enjoyed one of the movies, you'll like the other.
Magical movies that take you to another place...! It's breath taking and dramatic! Both have good actors/actresses and both have a good plot. The animation is great! So, you better watch!
If you like Spirited away you'll like Howl and vice versa.
Both of them are made by magical movie artist hayao miyazaki and both of them are masterpieces and one of a kind stories.
No questions about that.
Each show, being done by Ghibli, have many similarities ranging from the artwork to the music to the mood of the series. Each being steeped in fantasy and magic, a girl comes to find love without realizing it and making a lot of friends along the way. Beyond this, many other similarities exist, but it would be more effective to just say if you liked one, you'll love the other.
Howl's Moving Castle is pretty much a grown-up version of Spirited Away; even though it's not. They're both pretty much have about the same likeness (even though some people say that Howl's Moving Castle is better than Spirited Away) and they're both by the same director, Hayou Miyazaki. They both have dream-like qualities of young girls expeirencing strange things, and coming of age and learning the life of growing up of nature. They're both great movies and pretty much have about the same genre(s): Supernatural, Drama, Adventure, Fantasy, Romance. But Howl's Moving Castle has Comedy, Action while Spirited Away mostly has Mystery. Spirited Away seems to have no action at all, and Howl's Moving Castle will show a little bit of Mystery every once in a while.
All of Myiazaki's movies are great, but 'Spirited Away' and 'Howl's Moving Castle' have most in common considering their warmth, and the way they (unlike most of his films) have no signs of environmentalism, but simply have beautiful stories.
Both have gorgeous art and they both dwell in fantasy and the supernatural. They also have the same producers so they have similar art styles. What's more, they both have fascinating plots and lovable characters.
Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away are both written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. They both have a somewhat fantasy like feel to them and have that special something that's hard to describe but makes watching them a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Many have made this recommendation and rightfully so. Both movies are from the magnificent Studio Ghibli and feature beautiful animation, creative characters and fascinating storylines. Love one, love the other.
Drawn in the same style they both are really animated animes, there are many little movements and details that make the anime looks just sooo REAL! And they both come from the same anime-maker.
Miyazaki movie....enough said.
If you haven't watched this yet and have seen Howl's Moving Castle, you are in for yet another great movie whose theme is wrapped up in wonderfully written and animated adventure that truely solidifies the theme. You can't help but fall in love with the characters, the story, and the superby animated lands.
Besides the stellar Studio Ghibli quaity, these anime share elements of magic, fantasy, and anthropomorphism.
Any Studio Ghibli movie is amazing, but these two are are at the top of the list. They are both phenomenal!
Both are Ghibli masterpieces that turn what looks like a boring everyday occurance into something that go beyond your dreams. I cannot praise either of these highly enough. If you enjoyed one, then it is very likely you will feel the same about the other.
The heroine is taken to a fantastical- Fantasy world where magic affects them or those around them, creating a reason to go on a journey to turn things back to normal. The journey changes them and the changes resonate to those around them, changing lives and creating events that challenge them to become better and stronger. And aside from being family friendly and by the same studio, both are absolutely gorgeous and must watches!
Both keep you stunned and in awe throughout the movie. Miyazaki. Just Miyazaki man! The animation the music the story everything that he put into this leaves you sweet essence of magic in the air.And for the more mature topics it leaves you with deep but simple thoughts about human relationships/hardships and interaction with beautiful nature.
Both are Miyazaki/Ghibli movies that are primarily fantasy-based, for all ages, and visually amazing.
Legends tell of a floating island in the sky known as Laputa, upon which is rumoured to be treasure beyond a person's wildest dreams. Sheeta is an orphan girl who is being hunted down because of her necklace, a rare Levistone, which legend says will lead the way to Laputa. One day she is saved by Pazu, a miner apprentice and also an orphan, and together they set out to escape from her would-be captors. Unfortunately, their friendship must go through endless trials in their quest to hide Laputa's location. What is Sheeta's mysterious legacy, and what hidden motives do Sheeta's enemies have in regards to finding Laputa?
It has the same elements such as the obvious traveling castle, baddies becoming helpful, and whimsical-like characters. Laputa and Howl's Moving Castle are from the same director and studio and they definitely give the same feel, the ending was incredibly fulfilling as well. Laputa has an easier-to-follow storyline with bounds of adventure; very enjoyable.
They both have moving castles! But aside from that both anime share a very distinct similar feeling and setting. Both are set in fantasy worlds that mix retro technology elements with fantastic elements unseen in our world. Both also focused on airships. Due to the similar atmosphere and feel-good storytelling, both are fantastic fantasy rides; and if you enjoyed one, the chances that you'll enjoy the other are very high!
Both Laputa and Howl's are made by the same man, Hayao Miyazaki. Both contain elaborate scenes and stories with amazing gadgets and machines. The characters are well made. In both stories there is a sense of adventure, romance, and action that anyone can enjoy.
As Howl's and Laputa are from the same creator, some of the scenery likeness is obvious. Both are a heartfelt story of a young female protagonist who must work through her unfortunate circumstances with few allies. The castles in both are also imaginative technical creations. You shouldn't be disappointed if you liked one and have yet to see the other.
Both of these Miyazaki films feature castles as part of the plot, a European-like fantasy setting, and a story driven by the bond between two characters. If you've seen one and haven't seen the other yet, I definitely recommend you check it out!
Castle in the Sky seems to be directed more towards a younger audience than Howl's Moving Castle, which has a more direct relationship between the main characters. Both deal with magic and moving islands, and have a very entertaining quality that is shared in the action and adventure the main characters partake in.
Both Laputa and Howl's are by the same author and have the name 'castle'. Except, one of them was in the sky, and the other walks. I don't remember everything about Moving Castle, but it was a lot like 'Castle in the Sky'.
Both Laputa: Castle in the Sky and Howl's Moving Castle are similar in their theme and story telling... And yes, also in the fact that they both have Castles. However there is so much more to both of them. But the similarities lie in the telling of the story. Each has a story about a girl destined for great things. And it's not surprising as it is a common theme in movies directed by the great Hayao Miyazaki.The artwork and beauty of these movies is easily appreciated when you see the world around the characters. These type of movies are almost spiritual and always leaves the view in a state of ease.
Laputa and Howl's are very similar. Plot of both movies take place in "steampunk" world, gives you heartwarming feeling and revolve around relationship between main charakters and mystery past of one of them. If you liked one movie, you'll love the other one.
in the first place: Laputa and Howl's castle are almost the same visually, and they both hold tremendous power. Both main characters and both castles are wanted by the government for their power, and the protagonists are both set to protect their respective castles.
If you liked this because of unusual view of life, you would like the other. Both are created by Miayzaki and studio Ghibli and so the animation is also similar. Both contain love, kindness and magic.
These two movies are set in other than ours words. What's more, they share the same atmosphere and quite similar characters, but more importantly, there are many flying vehicles in both of them.
Both Laputa and Howl are about finding a castle. They are both hard to find and the main characters needs help finding the castle. Also, when the characters get there, the castle needs their help (Howl needs Sophie and Laputa needs to be protected from the invaders).
Howl's Moving Castle is very related to Castle in the Sky. They have romance, action, drama, comedy, and of course friendship. But Castle in the Sky's different, the main characters are little kids while the characters in Howl's Moving Castle are mainly young adults. So yeah, Howl's Moving Castle has a totally different romance.
Each of these series, being made by the same company, have a lot ion common, ranging from artwork, to the feel and tone of the story, to the characters in the story. If you like one movie, the other one should be right up your alley.
They both involve powerful war officials using magic or super powers to aid them in completing their evil scheme. Also, they are both made by the same studio.
With the rise of the Iron Age in feudal Japan, man and nature grow increasingly at odds. As mankind infringes more and more into the kingdom of the beasts, many of the elder animal gods begin to succumb to their rage, cursing themselves as they lash out at rural and urban settlements alike. When a young Ashitaka, hero of his village, is imparted with one of these curses after slaying a crazed god, he forces himself into exile to prevent further harm to his village. As he ventures out into the world, however, he discovers just how dire the straights have become - with man and beast ready to break into all out war, his curse becomes the least of his problems. As both sides teeter dangerously on the side of outright slaughter of one another, Ashitaka sets his own problems aside and, using his charisma and honor, seeks to quell the hatred before it gets beyond repair - but will he be in time or is he simply delaying the inevitable?
If you liked Howl's Moving Castle you'd also like Princess Mononoke because it also has great animation and the love story is subtle but sweet.
To start off, both of these movies were directed by the animation genius Hayao Miyazaki. I would say that would be enough, but it probably isn't so I'll continue.
Both of these shows have a male and female protagonist that are bonded by love. Not only that, but they are both packed with adventure and drama, which is a favorite of Miyazaki. So I'll say this; you'll have to see one if you've seen the other. I recommend that you watch Princess Mononoke first because of the time difference between creating the two, and Miyazaki's style slightly changed as the time progressed.
Both Howl's and Princess Mononoke have a sense of hidden passion and mystery mixed in them. The hero and heroine try to battle the forces of evil together, and overcome the powers threatening them. Both movies are filled with magic and strange forces controlling the world in which the main characters live.
These beautifully animated films are a magical display of Hayao Miyazaki's fine ability as a director; both are fantasy-based tales of courage, love and personal journeys - if you're a fan of one, then it is without a doubt that you will love the other.
Both of these movies are thrilling, imaginative and beautiful. They are fantastic adventures with strange and unique creatures, wonderful characters, and a touching story, with undertones of love. With amazing animation, to boot, if you liked one, you should surely check out the other.
Hayao Miyazaki's Mononoke Hime and Howl's Moving Castle both play with the magic and elements of nature. In each, the protagonist is cursed or under the influence of a spell, and he/she must fight to liberate themselves and possibly find love. Like most Miyazaki films, these anime have a hidden message and are very beautiful; the music and animation is very good, too. If you liked one, you'd surely like the other.
Hanyo Miyazaki has worked wonders on the screen in both of these movies. I have heard frequently from friends and anime colleagues that they enjoyed watching both of these movies.
Place faith in my judgment and my friends. I would EASILY recommend watching these two together. If you liked one, you WILL like the other.
another magical masterpiece done by miyazaki sensei portraiting the damage of human wars to the nature and spirits of the earth and showing the fact that one person not only can change her/his own fate but can save all those dear to him and including the planet which has given birth to him.
Princess mononoke is like Howl's moving castle both in style of animation, and the use of classic folklore. They both have Hayao Miyazaki's "feeling" to them, great music, great eye candy, and great plots.
With a main character who's cursed and a journey that ultimately leads to not only a cure but discovery, both of these Studio Ghibli films portray a world of new encounters and moving away from the past. As such, together with a fantastic soundtrack and animation, in liking just one will mean that the other is simply unmissable.
The main character is cursed someway or the other and has to go through a whole lot to get it lifted. For Sophie she meets a wizard who could use her help as much as she needs his. Ashitaka gets into the middle of a fight between the wolves and a group of villagers and eventually gets help from San the wolf princess who is human.
One afternoon on her way home from school, Haru saves a cat from getting run over by a truck and promptly gets the shock of her life when it stands on its hind legs to thank her. That night, she is greeted by a parade of felines who inform Haru that her earlier heroics saved the prince of the Cat Kingdom. Haru suddenly finds herself inundated with gifts of mice and catnip as means of thanks, culminating in the announcement that she will be taken to their kingdom to marry the prince. With no desire to marry Prince Lune, Haru turns to The Baron and Muta from the Cat Bureau for help, but unable to stop them, Haru is swept away by a horde of cats. Can Haru prevent this marriage of inconvenience and return home before she becomes a cat herself?
If you loved one of these movies you would love the other movie too! They are both from studio Ghibli and they have the same magic feeling to them. Both girls in the movies are strong characters and at the same time are very sensitive. And they both have stories that are unpredictable.
Although produced by two different people, I personally recommend watching Howl's Moving Castle and Cat Returns.
The magic of Miyazaki's worlds has not been lost, as Studio Ghibli produced The Cat Returns. I really enjoyed watching both of these movies, and would recommend these to fans of other Miyazaki movies.
Both Moving Castle and Cat Returns are masterpieces of art and anime, and the stories is very alike. There is a young heroine, who is cursed by the "bad guy". She meets a young and attractive "hero", and soon love is in the air. Both animes have a colourful and cheerful style, and I think anyone would like them both.
These movies are both done by the famous Studio Ghibli. They have excellent music, certain parts that will make you tear up, and beautiful animation. I am certain if you liked one you will love the other.
Children will certainly love these movies.
they both are lighthearted Studio Ghibli production full of adventures, comic characters, magic and love/friendship.
Kagome is a normal high school girl who falls into a well, transporting her back in time to the feudal era. Upon her arrival to this world, she mercifully unleashes Inuyasha, a half demon. As if this isn't enough, she also discovers that she is the bearer of the Shikon no Tama, a jewel of great spiritual power, a jewel which has just shattered into a million shards. Now, along with Miroku the priest, Sango the demon hunter, and Shippou the mischievious fox-demon, they must set out to find the Shikon shards and defeat the evils of the demon Naraku.
Both Howl's Moving Castle and InuYasha are about a young and fairly normal girl who finds herself suddenly caught up in the unbelievable world of magic, curses, demons, and other strange creatures. Both stories focus on the magic and demons, the girl's struggles to cope, and the love that inevitably blooms from it all.
Howl's Moving Castle and InuYasha are both about a young girl that gets caught up in a magical world of fantasy with cursed demons. There are encounters with strange creatures and demons along the way. Both series are more on the innocent side while the main characters try and cope while trying to find love.
Love, Adventure, Magic, Comedy, and Action all share similar roles in these two animes that follow a young girl's dream for a more exciting life. Though not a perfect match many may find these two complement each other well and find content in Howl's more conclusive ending.

Cagliari striker Victor IbarboCagliari striker Victor Ibarbo was at his clinical best as he tops our European Team of the Week.
The Colombian target man, 22, hit a hat-trick in the 3-1 win over Samdoria, using his pace and size to great effect as he single-handedly dismantled the Genoese club.
Renowned for his searing speed, his first was a tap in after Albin Ekdal's finish was spilled by the Samp keeper.
Preferring to run inside from the flanks, Ibarbo continued to torment the visitors – almost swinging a cross-shot in before half-time – before adding a second with a rasping finish at a corner.
Standing at 6'3", Ibarbo completed the hat-trick with a trademark booming far-post header, which meant he scored with all three of his efforts on target.
Ibarbo is joined by another Italian-based target man as Parma veteran Amauri also bagged a treble in the 4-1 victory over Torino.
Otherwise there are three Barcelona defenders in our XI following the 2-0 win over Deportivo la Coruna, while Premier League players are largely absent after a weekend dominated by the FA Cup.
And just to prove we don't solely include players from Europe's so-called 'big four' leagues, Kuban Krasnodar's Turkish-born, Dutch-raised Armenia winger Aras Ozbiliz gets a nod after his goal and assist helped the Russian Premier League side beat Volga 2-0 away.
