While I still have the tourist map of County Durham, England, at hand (see previous entry), I want to pinpoint a few other places which are significant to my HARTLEY Family Line. On the bottom, right-hand quarter of the map (enlarge by clicking on image), and just to the west (left) of Darlington is a small village called Gainford. It is the namesake of a larger ecclesiastical region known as GAINFORD PARISH. Slightly north-east of Gainford, I drew a small red-colored circle marking an even smaller village named Summerhouse (indicated by "Su"). If you search for Summerhouse, Durham County, England, on Google maps you can zoom-in for a wonderfully detailed view of this small village especially on the so-called Satellite view. While there, look just slightly east (to the right) of Summerhouse, across a major highway and you will see Denton. The Anglican Chapel at Denton of the Gainford Parish is located there and is the place where my 2X great grandfather, WILLIAM HARTLEY, was baptized in April 1821 by Thomas Peacock, Curate. William's parents were William Hartley, Laborer, and Ann Longstaff, residing in Summerhouse.
About 24 years later, in the same chapel of Denton, which is called St. Mary's, William and his wife, ANN ROBINSON, baptised their 3rd-born child who was my great grandmother, ELEANOR HARTLEY. Eleanor was baptised 21 Jun 1845, by John Birkbeck, Curator.
The following description is taken from "Keys to the past":
"Denton, St. Mary's church."
"This small church was built in 1891, replacing an earlier church built in 1836. The church is built of sandstone and has a small porch and side chapel to the south. A stone coffin is used as a drinking trough for animals in the churchyard, and the remains of some medieval gravestones can be seen in the porch."
William Hartley and Ann Robinson baptised two other children in the nearby church of St. John the Baptist, at Low Dinsdale: Jane Elizabeth Hartley, on 23 Mar 1851, and Thomas Hartley, 14 May 1852.
Christening of William Hartley: England, Diocese of Durham, Bishop's Transcripts, ca. 1700-1900 (FamilySearch.Org Pilot), Chapelry of Denton pg 110 of 287. Includes images of Parish Registers. "Pg 15, No. 126 (bottom of page). William, s/o William Hartley, Laborer, and Ann Longstaff, residing in Summerhouse. Baptized 20 Apr 1921, by Thomas Peacock, Curate."
In my Picasa album, I have pinpointed on a map the location of the village of Denton and its Chapel. You can follow the link here. Reminder: I have used Picasa's mapping feature to locate many of the images which appear on this blog.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Douglas F. Gansler denied Tuesday reports that he routinely told his state police drivers to speed and run red lights, calling the head of the unit that protects high-ranking officials a "henchman" of Gov. Martin O'Malley and Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown.
Gansler, who as attorney general is the state's highest-ranking law enforcement official, called a Washington Post article based on Maryland State Police documents "100 percent, completely untrue."
The attorney general's comments about Lt. Charles Ardolini, head of the executive protection unit, brought an unusually blunt response in which a top state police official called the remarks ""unseemly and unacceptable."
Lt. Col. William Pallozzi, chief of the Support Services Bureau, rejected the suggestion that Ardolini was playing politics.
"To accuse someone in the Executive Protection Section of a politically motivated action impugns the integrity not only of that individual, but of every one of the dedicated troopers who works in this difficult and demanding assignment," Pallozzi said in a statement Tuesday.
The police rebuttal came after Gansler went on News Channel 8 in Washington to introduce his new running mate, Prince George's County Del. Jolene Ivey. Gansler was asked about an article Sunday in The Washington Post about unsafe driving in his state-owned SUV.
Gansler said the Post reporter wrote an article though he "knew it was untrue." The attorney general blamed Brown, his chief rival for the 2014 nomination, and O'Malley, who supports Brown, for the release of the documents in which troopers complained about Gansler's demands.
"They're running a campaign about dirty politics, dirty tricks, pulling out some memo that some ... henchman wrote two or three years ago and saying, 'Look, Gansler's misusing troopers somehow,' " Gansler said.
Gansler made it clear he was referring directly to Ardolini when he used the word "henchman."
"His office is actually ... in the governor's mansion," Gansler said.
State police spokesman Greg Shipley said the location of Ardolini's office did not signify any unusual closeness between the lieutenant and O'Malley. Shipley said the heads of executive protection have had a command center in Government House since the early 1970s.
Shipley said Ardolini's memo was based on the written reports of seven officers from Gansler's security detail and the verbal recollections of others. He said submitting a false report would be a violation of policy and a firing offense.
O'Malley released a statement Tuesday in which he defended Ardolini as "one of the finest and most upstanding law enforcement officers you will ever meet." Brown campaign manager Justin Schall declined to comment.
Ardolini was the author of a December 2011 memo to Pallozzi — released as a result of a public records request — reporting a pattern of "disregard for public safety" by Gansler, including "ordering" troopers to use the shoulders of roads to get around backups.
Gansler contended that he never gave orders to police drivers because he has no authority to do so. His recollections conflict with Ardolini's and with those of troopers in the security unit.
The differences are apparent in the accounts of a December 2011 incident in which Gansler's vehicle used the shoulder to get past a traffic backup on Interstate 97 while O'Malley's vehicle waited in the jam.
Gansler said Tuesday that he didn't order his driver to use the shoulder and was reading when that occurred. A state police memo says the driver told Ardolini that Gansler instructed him to drive up the shoulder while using lights and sirens.
Gansler campaign spokesman Bob Wheelock said the trooper's recollection is inaccurate. However, the spokesman backed away from Gansler's use of the term henchman.
"Was it the best choice of words? No," Wheelock said.

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 x64 with ISPConfig 22.214.171.124 and i have some problems sending mails from an external client like Thunderbird. In my mail.log i got these errors : Code: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: authentication failure SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure After hours reading in the forums, i found this thread: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47819&highlight=SASL+PLAIN+authentication+failed Then, checking my config I found that this file is missing : /etc/pam.d/smtp but, this is based in the "Ubuntu 8.04 perfect setup" gide.

The Bodyguard
'The Bodyguard' returns for 2016 with Beverley Knight as Rachel Marron (not performing Mondays or Wednesday matinees).
For anyone who grew up in the late Eighties, Whitney Houston was part of the decade's hedonistic soundscape – the dynamic rhythms of her songs and that extraordinary undulating voice an instant cue to go wild on the dance floor. With a clutch of number ones to her name she was the obvious candidate for a jukebox musical – so how fortunate it was that the producers already had the film of 'The Bodyguard' to base it on. Or was it?
Right from the moment this unashamedly synthetic love story begins, you become aware of the musical as machine – all lights, vibrations, and jangling clichés. Soul singer Beverley Knight has replaced Heather Headley in the role of Rachel Marron, and the pressure is very much on her to prove that the music is going to carry the show.
She brings considerable star power with her – she has performed with Prince and Stevie Wonder among others – but she's notably far more comfortable in the upper registers of her voice than the lower. Her acting also only seems to operate in two gears – petulant and precocious. Is this going to be enough?
Thankfully for her – and the audience – it is. No scientific experiment has been performed to see how many Whitney Houston numbers any individual can hear without feeling their hips and possibly even their heart-rate shifting, but for this critic it was about five.
This despite the woeful two dimensionality of the story – stalker threatens rock star, bodyguard is hired to protect her, they fall in love – a sort of modern variant on Tarzan and Jane. It's also in spite of Tristan Gemmill's performance as the bodyguard, Frank Farmer, which is so plastic it makes Barbie's Ken look like Laurence Olivier.
And yet – to a degree – bodyguards are meant to be plastic. And there are glimmers throughout Thea Sharrock's technically highly proficient production that we are going to get what everyone has come for, which is some of the Houston magic. We hear an element of it in the performance of Debbie Kurup – who plays the star's put-upon sister Nicki – and whose voice swoops effortlessly from velvety low notes to diamond brilliance. And as the action progresses we hear it from Knight, who really starts to relax by the time she performs 'I'm Every Woman'.
When we get to the closing number 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' the entire audience is rocking out. Terrible script, negligible performances, but great atmosphere – this one will run and run.

I loved the bodyguard - the sparkles, the love story, the Whitney - it's a great show and I would whole heartedly recommend it. We got tickets from a Leister Square box office and they were great value! We got tickets in the stalls for £32 each in row Y. We found what we thought were our seats at the back of the theatre, only to be told we were sitting in row YY and our seats were actually far more central with a good view. Perfect. The show itself was great. The story, like all musicals based around a singer or band, is a little predictable. However, the way Beverly Knight belts out Whitney hits - songs you love and had forgotten (if you're like me) were Whitney - in fabulous sparkly outfits is really fun. The show is not just fun and sparkles, there are baddies, death and heart break, a whole plethora of things to grab your interest! I gave the show 4 stars because, while it is wonderful, it would have been good to have some of the songs more integrated in to the plot and to have more of the characters singing to further engage the audience.
I was disappointed that on my visit Beverly Knight wasn't playing the leading role. Her understudy was very good but I booked this show specifically to see the amazing Ms Knight & it wasn't advertised she wouldn't be performing. However this is an excellent show which is surprisingly scary. I saw the production at the Adelphi Theatre & I felt it suited a more intimate theatre than the cavernous Dominion.
Wow! Just wow! Beverley Knight leads an amazing cast in this great production, I had goosebumps, I had tears and I had the urge to sing and dance in the isles. I could not think of anyone better to take on the role in the West End that Beverley Knight, so many Whitney classics were incorporated into the show that bring back so many memories for everyone which made the experience all the more enjoyable. Thank you to the whole team behind this production for such an enjoyable night.xx
I was lucky enough to win tickets for a preview in July 2016 and my friend and I absolutely loved it. We are big fans of the film and the show didn't disappoint Beverley Knight and Rachel John were outstanding vocalists. I would definitely recommend the show
As a big fan of the film I was really looking forward to the theatre production, and deliberately didn't read any reviews before we went. We went on a Tuesday (from the comments below, somewhat luckily) and so saw Beverly Knight in all of her splendor. In the first half there is some really plastic, and/or over the top acting from the actor playing Frank Beverly respectively, and I agree with the lady below about the cringe inducing American accents.
However! I am no expert at all when it comes to acting but the second half seemed to morph into a better directed, more natural, believable performance, and throughout the whole evening the songs were brilliant, with fantastic production. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and was up on my feet dancing with the rest of the stalls by the end. Even my boyfriend who hasn't ever seen the film was swept away and loved it. In fact he was already saying how much he was enjoying it by the interval, maybe not having the film to compare it to was a benefit for him.
All in all I really enjoyed the whole evening and left on a real high. I would recommend to anyone looking for an enjoyable night out :)
I took my mum on Monday night and she absolutely loved it! The music was fab! Would highly recommend.
We went on a Monday night and got to see the understudy for Beverley Knight- but she didn't disappoint at all! Fab voice and gorgeous. My favourite though, was Nikki Marron- wow did she steal the show! I left wanting to hear more from this girl. The songs were all performed to such a high level that at some points I thought we were watching a concert. Some of the acting was a bit off but the songs made up for it. Ben Richards was fun and played Frank brilliantly. The best part of the show was the finale where they got the audience on their feet! We had great seats, bang centre in the stalls! Recommended for a fun girls night out. Plus, use the back exit and you'll find a cute little terrace hotel bar - great for a post theatre drink ;)
just back from seeing the show and i loved it. Alexandra Burke was outstanding, the songs were great. i was really impressed with the set and the slick changes both to that and the costumes. If you get a chance go and see it
I really enjoyed the show.I didn't get to see Beverly Knight on the night I went, but this didn't detract from my enjoyment at all. I did feel there was perhaps something missing but I can't put my finger on it. It may just have been the absence of Whitney Houston herself.
The Bodyguard is definitely worth seeing. Beverly Knight is excellent, the costumes are incredible and the dancing is uplifting. Well worth seeing.
I enjoyed the movie so wasn't sure I would like the show. Really loved it , very well done and the singing was first class, I also thought the set was good. The seats were good and received the tickets with no problems
I'm not a musical fan at all. I had to be dragged along to this. BUT . . .what a pleasant surprise. The plot isn't amazing and is a bit cheesy (I hadn't seen the film), but that's often the case with musicals. The whole thing stands or falls on whether you like the music I suppose - and Whitney's hits come thick and fast. I think it was Joelle Moses playing the lead (Thurs 3rd October - certainly wasn't Beverley Knight) - but I couldn't care less. She sang amazingly well. The 'big' number on the rising podium was spot on. There is a laugh or two along the way - and the set is as good as a set can be (the set at the Academy Award ceremony is simple, yet brilliant), and a very clever use of slient slow-mo in a disco scene. We did have the best seats (centre stalls row F) - which always adds how much a show like this come across. I don't see how anyone could rate this low - unless they hate the music of Whitney Houston fans - and in that case why are they going? A good, easy, uplifting and fun night out. Not for theatre snobs I guess (based on some reviews), but I, for one, left feeling very entertained.
I was really dissapointed about singing and acting. The whole performance was below the expectations.
First half is slow, no belting out of numbers, stage graphics out of sync and dated. Doesn't strutt when on stage, but looks at her shoes? What's that about! You're supposed to be an established star. Only until the last song of the first act does it start to pick up. Note to sound technician - turn her mic up! Second half much better. Seriously lacks tone and warmth though. Not worth the money. Ghost FAR BETTER!
Don't Go Unless heather is playing as rachel marron ! Major Dissapointment. If Your A Heather Fan They stuck in an understudy's understudy from the musical esemble . Costumes didn't fit ,but above all the awful! vocal scraeming almost unbearable and totaly out of tune !!!,Janet Kumar was her name not even listed as an undertsudy never heard of her ever. check an make shore heather is on !!! i was told now its been previewed for first few weeks she only does a few shows and one weekend show ! dissapointing ! false advertising in a way its like there filling seats and giving customers false expectations !!!
The review is spot on! I waited so long to see this and while it was the most amazing set I have seen in a musical (they did have to stop the show 3 times as the set wouldn't move...disaster) the acting was beyond bad. The character of Rachel is extremely unlikeable and Frank is so monotone. I want to like it, I really do....but the money and time seems to have all gone to the set and not into the script. Ohhh and Rachel wears the same jeans in about 6 scenes...that annoyed the crap outta me! No metal dress, just those jeans!!!
What can I say a wonderful musical and at a price that everyone can afford. Do yourself a faver an see this must see musical as soon as possible. FANTASTIC !!!!!!
I couldn't agree more with The Guardian and Time Out's review. I saw during preview period and both my friend and myself were not impressed. The show and performers are very much let down by the book, there isn't the tension that should be there, the iconic outfit featured in the marketing and advertising on the programme cover doesn't even feature in the show. Was very disappointing but fantastic individual performances.
This could be the surprise winner of this years new show openings. I think a star is about to be born in Heather Headley - book! But try to see her

Weird biceps pain
May 01, 2012, 01:32:20 PM »
In certain positions, I feel a searing sensation in my right biceps, inner head, about two inches shy of the insertion point in the elbow.
I can't reproduce the pain accurately. That is, I can move my arm all around, but it doesn't hurt in the same position twice ...
Well, that's not
right: my fat ass is seated in my computer chair. I dropped something on the floor, just beside my right foot. Without bending tons at the waist, if I reach for this
gay porn DVD
(just to get that nonsense out of the way ... I figure this subforum runs with all of the homo jokes, too), I feel the aforesaid pain. It almost feels like my biceps is TEARING. Yeow.
On the other hand, there's no discoloration. I can flex my biceps in various positions and it looks and feels normal. Front double-biceps? BAM. Markus Ruehl would be green with envy ...
hahahaha, yeah, right
Perhaps strangest of all, due to taking care of my insane grandfather, I've consistently missed back and bis day for a couple of weeks now. I realize heavy chest and shoulder presses stress the bicipital tendon, but beyond that ... *shrugs shoulders* I'm an editor and writer, guys. Anatomy isn't my strong point.
Thanks for any reasonable feedback.
P.S. -- FWIW, yes, I've been "on" for a few months. Nothing really too crazy, seriously. Test, EQ, brief run of Dbol at the beginning, now starting third week of tren ace. I have made extensive strength gains but they've been rather conservative on a week-to-week basis; it's not as if I've gone hog-wild and started throwing 20 lbs. on my inclines every week.

Maybe you overextended it and you have a little strain. Give it some time and maybe ice it a bit.

If feeling the pain when the arm/bicep is outstretched, it may be a beginning of a rupture/tear or even nerve damage to the area. Not just the muscle but the tendon/ligament. If hanging from a chinning bar, cable pulls, any type of rows, etc, the feeling/tear should be quite noticeable, because the muscle is being pulled/stretched away from the position of the joint.
If it was a major tear (not the slight beginning of one) there would be the darker skin tone, as with broken blood vessels under the skin. A complete tear, the bicep would be rolled up towards the upper inserts, with the skin looking pretty ugly..
This might sound dumb, but do you get that feeling when doing standard curls, either BB or DB, I wonder. You had not mentioned that response to any arm exercise.
Ice is suggested for holding down swelling to/on an area. While heat is suggest for bring a steady new flow of blood into an injured area. Blood also carries healing elements to the region. Even too much ice or heat may cause more damage than good, in the long run. Even a professional sports massage may help with any muscle/tendon/ligament. All depending on the degree of potential injury.
If not seeking medical treatment, waiting perhaps to see how thing go, than keep the area warm at all times. Even away from the gym, giving the area a chance to begin to heal within. Let common sense rule, and try not doing any extensive pulling movement in workouts (including direct bicep work, which is a pulling movement) , at least for a couple to three weeks at the most. Slight tears have a habit of repairing and healing themselves with a good dose of time and rest.
Just to note: some drugs can affect the muscle inserts, mainly the biceps, triceps, pecs and sometimes the hams. Even in smaller measures. Any drug does not always work the same for everyone. Good Luck.

I appreciate all of the feedback. JPM -- your reputation precedes you
Same said for Chaos. And I appreciate your question, Montague. Visit my area near Charlotte, NC and I owe each of you steak dinners
I can't remember doing anything that caused the pain. As noted, it's been while since I trained biceps and back directly (upwards of two weeks). I've not done any form of deadlift in that time either. I've managed to train pecs/delts/tris hard once weekly and I've made time for break-in sessions for abs and legs here and there but, as noted, a lot of my schedule has to do with how normal/not my paternal grandparents are on a daily basis.
I've not had the opportunity to hang from a chinning bar yet, but I've stretched my right biceps hard, including in a simulated "hang," and felt no pain. A couple of days ago, I also picked up and curled a DB at home; while somewhat heavy, I didn't rush the positive and, after several reps, didn't feel any pain.
I've only felt any kind of pain maybe two or three times today. About the only constant is that, when my biceps does feel like it's tearing (or, at least, it feels very hot, like the area has a local fever!
), it lasts perhaps .5 seconds whilst I lean over and quickly reach out with my right arm.
Strangely enough, if I try to duplicate the pain, I can't :|
I know that's about as articulate as a retarded artichoke. The best way I can describe it is to say that, if I went bowling, my right-handed self would probably feel the burning/tearing sensation at least once or twice before the night was over.
One thing I should emphasize is the intermittent nature of the pain. It hurts, sure enough -- but only for about a half-second at a time and, apart from bending over and reaching for things, it does not register.
Weird, nay?

Maybe what you're experiencing is a shoulder issue and not a bicep one? When you lean and extend your arm like that you are probably rolling your shoulder forward. Any issues overhead pressing? Or bench pressing?
I get a weird twinge in my left trap while doing any kind of heavy overhead pressing, just kinda got used to it.

Weird, but perhaps it may be a pinched nerve. Reason the suggestion was made to have a deep massage to the whole area, including the traps, neck and spine.. Though I'm not sure why the tearing feeling, unless there is a tightness which might be confused with a tear, due to nerve impulse displacement.
Chaos getting that twinge in the trap area may also hint of nerve displacement or interference with the nerve impulses. Most sports minded people get massages treatment fairly often. Chiropractor and acupuncture sessions can also help greatly. The main channel for the CNS is the spine, which most people forget about, until problems develop. The neck and traps become prime area that can block normal nerve function to the upper body. Good Luck.

In certain positions, I feel a searing sensation in my right biceps, inner head, about two inches shy of the insertion point in the elbow.
The location of your pain discourages me from considering the likelihood of a shoulder problem.
(As a side: many trainers mistake bicypital tendonitis for "shoulder pain" due to location of the symptoms.)
Also - and, this is not my area of expertise; perhaps Chaos or JPM would know better - I believe that most biceps ruptures occur in the tendons at the bone attachment site. Both bicypital heads insert
the elbow on the bones of the forearm. If you're feeling pain
the elbow, I don't know how likely it is that you have a torn muscle. Perhaps some type of sprain is more likely.
Finally, I don't consider two weeks to be all that long to have a pain - even from something minor. I've often had simple aches last longer than that. For what it's worth
(and, it's merely my opinion),
I wouldn't get too worried just yet.

Notice: All courts will be closed on Monday, January 21, 2019 in observance of MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY, except Municipal Court's Arraignment Court, Bail Acceptance and the filing of Emergency Protection from Abuse Petitions at the Stout Center for Criminal Justice, 1301 Filbert St.
Notice: As part of our ongoing effort to provide our visitors with the best experience possible, we're preparing to launch the next generation of our website. Please note this site (http://www.philacourts.us) is a Beta version of the new Philadelphia Courts website that is still undergoing final testing before its official release.
For general Court information, contact (215) 686-7000.
The Philadelphia Municipal Court is a court of limited jurisdiction with 27 law-trained Judges, and as such is responsible for trying criminal offenses carrying maximum sentences of incarceration of five years or less, civil cases where the amount in controversy is $12,000 or less for Small Claims; unlimited dollar amounts in Landlord and Tenant cases; and $15,000 in real estate and school tax cases. Municipal Court has initial jurisdiction in processing every adult criminal arrest in Philadelphia, and conducts preliminary hearings for most adult felony cases. Because, by statute, an individual does not have the right to a jury trial in Municipal Court, cases may be appealed to the Court of Common Pleas for a trial de novo. The current appeal rate averages approximately 3% or less. The Philadelphia Municipal Court has experienced many changes since its inception. The Court continues its growth towards its goal of excellence in providing timely and equal justice to all persons who have contact with the Court.
In June 2013, the Pennsylvania General Assembly abolished the Philadelphia Traffic Court and transferred jurisdiction for moving violations of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code to the Municipal Court. Moving violations are now adjudicated in the Municipal Court's Traffic Division, which continues to be overseen by Common Pleas Judge Gary S. Glazer as the Supreme Court's Administrative Judge for reforming the operations of the former Traffic Court.
The Philadelphia Municipal Court is headed by a President Judge. Judge Patrick F. Dugan, was elected as President Judge of the Philadelphia Municipal Court effective January, 2019. Judge Dugan's chambers are located in the The Juanita Kidd Stout Center for Criminal Justice, 1301 Filbert Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107, Room 1313. He and his staff can be reached by phone at (215) 683-7235 or by FAX at (215) is 683-7237.
In addition to the President Judge, Municipal Court has two Supervising Judges. Judge Frank T. Brady has been appointed to supervise the Criminal Division and Judge Bradley K. Moss has been appointed to handle all matters related to the supervision of the Civil Division.
Civil Court Administration is located in Room 1020, 1339 Chestnut Street. The Civil Administration can be reached by phone at (215) 686-2910 and FAX at (215) 569-9254.
Criminal Court Administration is located in the The Juanita Kidd Stout Center for Criminal Justice, 1301 Filbert Street, Suite 208. The Criminal Deputy Court Administrator, Kathleen M. Rapone, can be reached by phone at (215) 683-7290 and FAX at (215) 683-7293.
Traffic Division Administration is located at 800 Spring Garden Street. The Traffic Division Deputy Court Administrator, Joseph L. Hassett, Esquire, can be reached at 215-686-1645 and FAX at 215-686-1641.
Many programs are offered to the community, which enhance the Court's operational efficiency while preserving its accessibility to the people. The court-annexed mediation program was one of the first established in the country, in 1969, for the resolution of landlord & tenant cases and small claims. The tax court program generates revenue for the city of Philadelphia through its collection enforcement efforts. Diversion programs are offered to first-time summary offenders to expedite certain summary offenses. The Court's educational programs for its judges have been recognized on the national level. Its participation in justice training programs has maintained it as one of the most innovative courts in the country.
As a further example of its innovative initiative, the Philadelphia Municipal Court established the Philadelphia Treatment Court, the first of its kind in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In addressing the drug involvement of the criminal justice population it is premised on the notion that courts need to deal with some of the root causes of criminal activity. The Treatment Court is designed as an alternative to and/or supplement to normal case processing to provide treatment to substance abusing defendants. Municipal Court also operates a Veterans Court boasting a substantially low recidivism rate, DUI Treatment Court, The Choice is Yours for more serious felony drug cases as a partnership with a private social service agency; Project Dawn to deal with prostitution cases and the underlying trauma associated with prostitution. These problem solving courts incorporate the dual aim of reducing a defendant's involvement in crime and their return to the criminal caseload and of increasing the chances that they can function more productively as citizens. The treatment models represent a new structure which draws on a network of treatment services to respond to the clinically determined needs of participants and features a new and central role for the presiding Judges. Municipal Court serves as a hub for delivery of treatment and other supportive services to more fully address the range of treatment, health, housing, literacy, educational, and other social service needs presented by drug-involved defendants.

DailyDirt: Automated English Translations Are Fun
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
Automated language translations have made some pretty big advances over the years, but sometimes the results are hilarious because they're so wrong. We don't mean to pick on Google Translate here -- since it's just one of many automated solutions for translating foreign languages -- but automated Engrish can be pretty funny.
- Google has been working on translating languages in YouTube video clips for a few years, offering a very useful feature of video transcripts. It's not exactly a perfect universal translator, but something may be better than nothing. [url]
- Call Me Maybe translated into 14 foreign languages and then back into English... This is madness.. numerous statements of my mobile number... [url]
- The Fresh Prince of Bel Air's theme song was run through 64 translations by cdza. Now this is a story all about how... automated translation doesn't preserve meanings. [url]

Photos taken in Waterloo, Ontario. (Hey, Google maps has updated the satellite photos!).
More photos.
Whoa! The trees are gorgeous. I'm guessing that the roads not so much.
We've had these beautiful snow segments on the trees, too, during the Xmas, except that I haven't seen blue skies for quite some time...
The roads are clear, we haven't had much new snow since the storm two weeks ago. It is actually pretty 'warm' here, above freezing point and most of the snow has melted off.
Except for some hours on Tuesday, it has been mostly cloudy and grey though.
Err, I mean Wednesday. Holidays are always so confusing. Is it really Friday today?
From 8 degrees north of the equator those winter pictures have a certain charm.

With the announcement of the Ark Encounter, we received numerous letters questioning AiG's next major project. Bodie Hodge, AiG–U.S., responds to some objections.
Ark Encounter sails forward in Kentucky.
What is the point of building a full-size ark (or doing any other ministry) if we are nearing the end of the world?
When we engage such compromising Christians, let's not allow them to move the goal posts and let them escape their mistakes.
The Ark provides a picture of salvation, and thus allows us a great opportunity to proclaim salvation through the ultimate Ark of salvation: Jesus Christ.
In an informal TV debate on the Anderson Cooper 360 CNN program a few weeks ago, my opponent was Rev. Barry Lynn—head of Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
The Ark Encounter project certainly created a buzz! And it's a buzz that should remind us of lessons we should have already learned in regard to the spiritual nature of the world we live in today.
To put it mildly, a lot of excitement has been generated by the Ark Encounter. This Q&A should address many of your questions.
What has dismayed me the most about the attacks on the Ark was the response from Christians.
The false idea keeps spreading that Ark Encounter will take tax-payer money and be a drain on Kentucky's state treasury. We have submitted several guest columns to tell the real story.
AiG President Ken Ham comments on his debate last night with Rev. Barry Lynn on the Anderson Cooper 360 CNN program.
The two major newspapers in our state have been quite hostile toward the Ark Encounter and its goal of bringing parts of the Bible to life and presenting these biblical events as true history.
Is the Ark Encounter—the forthcoming Noah's Ark-centered "edutainment" theme park—a "boondoggle" and an "embarrassment"? Apparently so, if one is asking the editors of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and several other newspapers that have recently printed anti-Ark editorials.
As we have had so many adults and young people visit, we asked ourselves: "How can we make an even greater impact? Is there something else God would be leading us to do?"
The media has provided ongoing coverage of Ark Encounter, the new project co-sponsored by Answers in Genesis. And—no surprise—the project is increasingly surrounded by debate.
It's regrettable that some journalists, intentionally or not, have left readers and viewers with a totally wrong impression about the state's involvement with the Ark Encounter.
The Ark Encounter is scheduled to be featured on ABC–TV's newscast sometime soon, possibly tonight.
As God has blessed the Answers in Genesis ministry, we have been encouraged to see a tremendous amount of media coverage highlighting the biblical truths AiG proclaims through various outreaches.
The Ark Encounter will be featured on ABC–TV's newscast sometime soon.
In case you haven't heard, Answers in Genesis is partnering with Ark Encounter LLC to build what might be called the Creation Museum's sibling: a $150 million Noah's Ark-themed experience also to be located in northern Kentucky.
With this article, I'm thrilled to be announcing the start of an incredible project.
Yesterday's announcement by Governor Steve Beshear of Kentucky that Answers in Genesis and the Ark Encounter, LLC will build a full-scale Noah's Ark in northern Kentucky drew wide media attention.
Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear today joined the Ark Encounter LLC to announce the planned construction of a full-scale Noah's Ark tourist attraction in northern Kentucky.
We were deluged with media tips this week about the Wall Street Journal's front-page coverage of a Noah's Ark replica.
No results found in Ark Encounter News.
Answers in Genesis is an apologetics ministry, dedicated to helping Christians defend their faith and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

If I understand your previous posting correctly, Smitch, you are saying that you want to make a distinction between those incidents that happen accidentally and those that happen by design. The former should strictly speaking be called 'misfortunes' while the latter should be called 'crimes', or perhaps 'malicious acts' if they do not break the law as such. It seems you think that while a person could be the unconscious victim of a crime (or malicious act) it makes no sense to describe someone as 'suffering' a misfortune (an accidental outcome) of which they are unaware.
In the case I gave in my precious posting, about the man failing to get the job, it is clear that he was victim of a deliberate act and not an accident. In practice I think people frequently use the term 'misfortune' to cover both accidental and intentional 'bad things' happening to them. It would make perfect sense to say "we had the misfortune of being burgled three times last year" even tho burglaries are not accidental. However, I accept that this is a loose use of the term 'misfortune' and you are right to draw attention to the distinction for, when I think about it, all the cases I have been considering so far involve someone being the victim of someone else's unjust or criminal actions. The challenge, therefore, is to see if we can describe a situation in which an accident, unknown to the subject, can be described as a 'bad thing' for that person even if the subject does not consciously suffer pain or distress.
Consider the following scenario:
Old Mrs Jones has only one living relative, her son Alan, who rarely visits his mother. Luckily Mrs Jones has a really caring neighbour, Mary Smith, who is always popping in to help her. Mrs Jones appreciates Mary's generosity and care and is very sad at how it contrasts with her neglectful son's attitude. Unknown to Mary, Mrs Jones has considerable savings and has decided to leave all of her assets to Mary instead of to her worthless son. She therefore makes a new will which she promptly files away in a drawer and forgets to tell anyone about.
When Mrs Jones dies, her son is called in to clear the house. He finds the will and, realising that he is going to be cut out, he destroys it. As it is the only copy and no one else knows about it, Mrs Jones is declared intestate and, as next of kin, Alan inherits all of old Mrs Jones' assets.
Now, from what you said in your previous response, I think you would agree that a crime has been committed. Alan has certainly broken the law and should he be found out he will undoubtedly be prosecuted. But the reason that destroying a will is made illegal in the first place is because it does a harm to someone: it perpetrates an injustice upon them. Mary has been deprived of something that she would have enjoyed had Alan not acted in the way he did. The fact that Mary was unaware of the injustice and 'feels' nothing is neither here nor there. She may not experience the injustice but that does not alter the fact that an injustice has been committed. I would also want to say that an injustice, a harm, has been done to Mrs Jones -- and there is no way she can experience it as she does not even exist any more!.
Now imagine a second version of this scenario where Alan does not find the will. It just gets lost in the general clearing out. In this scenario Alan may have believed that his mother had written a will and he makes every effort to find it. His aim is to faithfully carry out his mother's intentions but unfortunately the will is never discovered. As in the first scenario, Alan inherits and Mary gets nothing. However, in this case it is not intentional. No crime has been committed. It is just an accident. I would argue that Mary's failing to receive the benefit she would otherwise have received is a 'misfortune'.
If we believe that failure of the will to be carried out was a 'bad thing' in the first scenario then it must surely be a 'bad thing' in the second too, even tho it was unintentional. Can a distinction be made between the two?
In the first scenario, the intentionality of the offence could be said to be bad in itself. It is surely unpleasant to think that you might be the subject of someone's malice but it can hardly be judged as very bad if that person fails in their intention. If Alan had torn up the will but unbeknown to him there was a duplicate with a solicitor, no harm would have been done. If it were later discovered that Alan had destroyed the first copy of the will, he could perhaps be prosecuted for some sort of conspiracy to defraud but his punishment would be nothing like as severe as if he actually succeeded in his plan. We make things illegal on the basis of both the intention and the outcome. In this case the 'bad thing' that happens is that Mary has been deprived of a benefit she would otherwise have enjoyed not merely Alan's conspiracy against her, whether on not it is successful.
If you think that Mary's accidental loss of the benefit of the will cannot be described as a 'bad thing', ie, it doesn't matter, then it is difficult to see why you would be worried about Alan's deliberately defrauding Mary of what is rightfully hers. As long as she doesn't know about it, surely no harm has been done -- for, as you seem to be arguing, a harm must be experienced to amount to a harm. And, as we have already seen, the mere attempt to defraud, does not amount to much of a harm in itself.
I think one of your worries is that I appear to be making a claim to some sort of 'objectivity' regarding the harm done to Mary and you baulk against this. When Alan tears up the will it is obviously an objective fact that he has broken the law. Whether anyone is aware of his action at the time is neither here nor there. It does not become an illegal act simply at the moment it is reported to the police. It was always illegal from the moment of commission. In the case of the accidental loss of the will I am not suggesting that there is an 'omniscient narrator' perspective from which the loss of the will is objectively a 'bad thing'. Rather, I am putting myself in Mary's place and asking what her response would have been had she known about the loss. I imagine asking her, in advance and hypothetically, what she would feel if old Mrs Jones were rich and she had left everything to Mary and then the will was lost. I also imagine what Mary would feel if she finds out years later, perhaps on her deathbed, that she has lost out on inheriting a fortune. The judgement that Mary has suffered misfortune is not made from an objective point of view but from Mary's hypothetical viewpoint.
Of course, you are not necessarily compelled to judge that Mary has suffered a misfortune in this or any other case. Other factors in the scenario may lead you to a different conclusion when you consider them. In each case, however, you are to put yourself in Mary's position and ask what she would have thought and felt had she known the facts. For instance, following old Mrs Jones' death and the accidental loss of the will, Mary marries a very wealthy man such that the money left in the will would be paltry beside her husband's wealth. In this case we imagine Mary, in later life, coming to learn about the lost will and judging that the loss does not matter as she is wealthy in her own right and does not need the money. She may be touched to know that Mrs Jones left her the money, as it shows how much she was appreciated; she may feel sad that Mrs Jones' will was frustrated; she may feel annoyed that the worthless son inherited Mrs Jones' savings, which was against Mrs Jones' intentions; but she will not feel personal loss or a sense of misfortune because she did not need the money as it turned out. A judgement of misfortune is always a hypothetical judgement from the perspective of the subject but may nonetheless be valid even though it is hypothetical.
The other thing that seems to concern you is that if we accept the premise that it is possible to suffer a misfortune without being aware of it, then we will all start ruminating on imagined losses and become very anxious and dissatisfied in our lives. However, I don't think this follows at all. It's one thing to acknowledge the possibility of unexperienced misfortune and quite another to decide how you will deal with such a possibility. I agree with your implied position that it would be absurd to worry about 'bad things' happening to me of which I am, and may always be, unaware, but that does not change the fact that such things can happen.

A CCSVI Conference
A CCSVI Conference
By: Tammy Rollie | Posted: Wednesday, Sep 19, 2012 11:23 am
Dr. David Williams, Okotoks Dentist
More Sharing Services
Comments | Print | A A
Multiple Sclerosis patients who have been told their conditions will only get worse may have renewed hope.
More than a dozen physicians, dentists, chiropractors and optometrists from around the world are meeting in Okotoks at the end of the month to discuss research, education and potential treatments for major neurodegenerative illnesses.
Okotoks dentist Dr. David Williams, who is one of the organizers of the conference, said the panel of international experts will shed some light on the health issues surrounding illnesses like Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
"Its been said you have to be careful not to give the patients false hope," he said. "There is no such thing as false hope. If we can question we can have grounds for new hope for the patients and we are going to find the answers."
Italian researcher Dr. Paolo Zamboni discovered Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI), a condition where the veins in the neck and chest narrow, reducing the amount of blood draining from the brain and restricting oxygen levels in vital brain tissues.
The condition has since been linked to neurological diseases such as MS, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Irritable Bowl Syndrome, dementia, migraines, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and fibromyalgia.
"We've got to find out why the blood vessels are blocking," said Williams, who is researching ways to treat the condition through dentistry due to the vessels' proximately to the jaw. "If we can come out of this with some really powerful questions that can be answered I think we are very close to unraveling MS as well as multiple others."
Medical professionals from across Canada came together two years ago to form the non-profit National CCSVI Society to look into the issue further. They held their first conference in British Columbia a year ago.
"The new discovery of CCSVI itself has been very controversial," Williams said. "What that does is it opens up the conversation about what exactly is going on with neurological illness to more than just the neurological community."
Some headway has been made since the discovery of CCSVI, including an angioplasty procedure that widens the blood vessels, with dramatic results, said Williams.
"Some patients who have had the surgery are completely normal now," he said. "That gives us hope. The fact that a lot of them have gone backwards and are worse off allows us to ask more questions and keep digging deeper."
That's where the Okotoks conference, called Exploring Frontiers in Neurovascular Health, comes in, said Williams.
"I'd like to see more people asking questions, real serious questions about what could be going on," he said. "The more people that ask questions the sooner we will find the answers."
Bringing medical professionals from a variety of fields under the same roof is one way of looking at CCSVI from a variety of perspectives, said Williams.
"Groups within a field don't look over the fence and see what other practitioners or researchers are doing in another field," he said. "That's what we are doing here."
Medical professionals aren't the only ones who could hold the key to advancements in treatment. Williams said they are also inviting community members from the area, including patients suffering from neurodegenerative illnesses, to attend the conference.
"I'm looking for creative synergy," he said. "I'm hoping somebody will be sitting in the conference who sees something we all missed."
Williams said he hopes the conference will clarify the direction medical professionals need to take to address the condition.
"We hope to see some serious advances, some exciting developments with regards to helping these people live a normal life," he said.
People who attend the conference will have an opportunity to discuss treatments and research with experts and try some of the technology on display.
Keynote speaker, Dr. Kenneth Mandato of New York, is the leading researcher for the Saskatchewan government's CCSVI clinical treatment trial, where venous angioplasty is being used to treat patients with major neurodegenerative illnesses.
Exploring Frontiers in Neurovascular Health will take place at the Okotoks Centennial Centre on Sept. 30 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

A Whimsical Treehouse in Whistler
DIYers, take heart: This amazing 200-square-foot treehouse was built over the course of four summers by a non-architect, using only $10,000 worth of castaway items collected from Craigslist.
Designer (and former software engineer) Joel Allen trekked through old-growth forests in Whistler, British Columbia, to find the perfect perch for his rustic retreat: a hemlock tree that stood at the edge of a 20-foot drop.
He said his friends thought he'd gone mad for undertaking such a project. He admitted to refreshing Craigslist every two minutes, waiting for the next new item to pop up so he could swoop in on it before someone else did.
The egg-shaped treehouse was constructed using 18-foot-long ribs that run from top to bottom to form the struts. The cedar siding was salvaged from the interior of an old sauna. Glass from broken cabinets were repurposed into windows. A double pane door turned into a sliding glass door with the addition of Rollerblade wheels on a track.
To create a more efficient space within the tiny footprint, all the built-in shelving and furniture were crafted from free Craigslist finds. Allen used the oft-forgotten space behind the stairs to place a small desk, and built sleeping quarters into the loft.
Since completing this elegant retreat, Allen and his fiancée (who also had a hand in the project) now reside in Salmon Arm, British Columbia, and build small custom homes for lakeside retirement communities.

Wednesday August 17, 2011
The remaining members of the Beatles have backed a campaign to encourage people to appreciate the value of music and discourage illegal downloads.
They have allowed their music to be used as the soundtrack for a new animated film for the Music Matters campaign aimed at showing the importance to everyday lives.
The Fab Four follow acts such as Elbow and Kate Bush who have featured in previous films.
The Beatles have been notoriously protective of their music for many years and not allowing it to be used for ads. They only allowed it to be available to download last year.
Tracks such as Hey Jude, Something and Strawberry Fields Forever are featured in the film which illustrates how the band's music has accompanied milestones in the lives of many people.
It aims to hammer home how listening to music is a shared experience and brings people together.
The video will be on the website for the campaign - backed by artists, major labels and other parts of the music industry - at www.whymusicmatters.org.

Keystone, Copper Mountain open for ski season Fri.
November 2, 2012
KEYSTONE, Colo. (AP) — Skiers and snowboarders are getting a few more options of where to ride this weekend, as ski season picks up.
Copper Mountain and Keystone Resort are opening for the season Friday, with incentives for people who show up early. Keystone plans to have doughnuts, hot cocoa and coffee for early birds, while Copper plans to pass out free drink holders that are good for drink specials.
Until now, only Arapahoe Basin and Loveland had been open.
The Colorado ski industry is hoping to bounce back from a lackluster snow year last season, but forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center are hazy on whether this year will be good for snow in Colorado.

K-On! (First Season) - Overall Series Impressions & Total Series Rating
This thread is to be used for discussing the entire episodes of K-On! ... your thoughts about the show, overall impressions, expectations and hopes about the DVD only footage etc.
A few subjects you might want to ramble on about:
And so on.
The poll represents your total series rating. In other words, how you would rate all the episodes combined (1-10)? If you'd rather rate the whole series by technical/artistic merits, you can do so. An example:
Animation Quality: 1-10
Voice Actors: 1-10
Script: 1-10
Soundtrack: 1-10
Editing: 1-10
Enjoyment: 1-10
Emotional Involvement: 1-10
Average = Total Series Rating
Or a combination of the two. Or your general gut feeling.
Feel free to discuss and more importantly, have fun :)
My rough rating:
Animation Quality: 10
Voice Actors: 9
Script: 8
Soundtrack: 10
Editing: 8
Enjoyment: 10
Emotional Involvement: 7
Average = 8, I guess
all in all its a good anime, with the add up of the conflict between Ritsu and Mio
Animation Quality: 7/10 just because of a few inconsistencies and some of the animation of the final live performance.
Voice Actors: 9/10 I loved them all and thought they were fitting for the personalities.
Script: 8/10 Simply because they re-used a few ideas from before and some gags were hit and miss.
Soundtrack 9/10 They were all pretty nice and I have enjoyment listening to them over and over again. However that might not be the case in the future.
Editing: ?/10 An explanation of what you mean would be appreciated.
Enjoyment: 10/10 Sure there were a number of issues but none that could subtract from the enjoyment this series gave me.
Emotional involvement: 6/10 this is the series weak point for me personally.
Overall though an 8/10
Animation Quality: 7
Voice Actors: 9
Script: 9
Soundtrack: 10
Editing: 7
Enjoyment: 10
Emotional Involvement: 8
Overall: 8.5
Okay let me start off by saying that I know fuck all about music. Just want to make that clear so you can understand my perspective.
Animation Quality:
Has been perfect all the way through but it was somewhat sloppy on the last episode.
Voice Actors:
No complaints here. All the characters were very distinguishable by their voice. You could tell them apart easily. Also it must have taken a lot of effort for Aki Toyosaki to do that rasping voice in Episode 6.
It was kinda meh really. The soundtracks gave it feeling but there isnt really any single piece that I would want to listen to over and over. So it should be 6/10, however I feel it necessary to bump it up one point since Ive had the opening and ending songs stuck my head for quite a while now and I see that as an achievement:
I have to base this solely on how well each of the genres has been done, since there wasnt really much plot and I dont think there was meant to be.
Comedy: 6/10. There werent really any hit and misses but I never genuinely loled once. There were some funny moments like when the gang first imagining what Yuis sister would be like or when someone got a pantsu shot Mio (lucky bastard) or when Nodoka entered in on Sawako molesting Mio , but they just produced short giggles. There arent really any funny moments that I would look up on youtube and play over and over again. In that regards, even Kanon was funnier.
Slice of Life/Music: 7/10. There were some decent bits here and there but there wasnt that much. I think they did well to make it seem as if music was a part of everyones lives (like how Ritsu did some subconscious drumming on the table in Episode 6, and stuff like looking after their instruments). However, they had three drama bits and both were just God awful, cringe-worthy.
Moeness: 10/10 Well really, by now 10/10 ought to be a standard for Kyoani. Cat ears and dresses for the fucking win. =3
So overall I would say 7/10. However, the first half episode 2 felt like filler and they did the beach thing twice! I also feel it necessary to drop it a point since it seems K-Ons biggest strength is moeness and I cant help feel thats just a little bit...shallow...
Yui Hirasawa: At first this one seemed to me to be a typical retarded moe. However, what I didnt expect was this anime character to be by far the most retarded character I have ever come across. I mean my God, this character takes retarded moe to a whole new level. Ive never seen an anime character quite like this one since Osaka in Azumanga Daioh. Im surprised no one in the anime suggested that she might have some sort of mental problem. Unfortunately it seems this is the only original thing about Yui. Otherwise shes pretty much a typical character. I did actually feel a little sorry for Yui at the start since she was feeling the force of social pressures to change what they deemed unsuitable characteristics. So I was actually a little glad that it didnt turn out that way for her. But that was the only bit where I emphasised with her. Otherwise I just really didnt care what happened to her.
Originality 3/10
Empathy - 3/10
Ritsu Tainaka: A typical tomboyish moe. Wasnt really impressed with this one. The only thing she did was piss off Mio a lot. She was pretty much Konata but far less funny. And I didnt understand why she started the club if she was going to procrastinate. Surely the whole point of starting a light music club is because you enjoy it? Why would you procrastinate? Its good for a writer to make a hypocritical character but the whole point of a hypocritical character is that their hypocrisy is shown to be understandable when taking into account their back ground (i.e. Sasuke Uchiha) or revealed not to be hypocrisy after all (i.e. Lelouch Vi Britannia) (Note: This is where I think School Days failed a bit). Ritsu didnt have either. I did however understand why she felt so annoyed at Mio choosing to hang out with someone else. But, again, that was the only bit where I emphasised with her. Otherwise I just really didnt care what happened to her, either.
Originality 2/10
Empathy 3/10.
Tsumugi Kotobuki: Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, what were they thinking when they made this character? All she did was provide food and drinks and play the keyboard, otherwise she had pretty much no relevance to the plot. They also made her the yuri one but they failed to capitalize on that. They made her the obscenely rich one too which had some slight effect on the plot but pretty much seemed like a plot device to me. I felt she was just a compilation of unused typical character traits.
Originality 1/10 (one point because of the eyebrows)
Empathy 0/10 (SHE DID FUCK ALL)
Mio Akiyama: Probably the most unique character, but not by much. For most of the part she was just a less funny version of Kagami but her large variety of extremely specific phobias made her a little interesting. Other than all those phobias of hers, she was the one I empathised with the most, especially with regards to dealing with Ritsu and most especially with regards to hanging out with other people for a change. In that case I sympathised as well. Imo, it couldve been better though...
Originality 5/10
Empathy 7/10
Azusa Nakano: NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Sorry had to be done. She was my second favourite character. I guess someone had to turn out to be the small one and she was it. But unfortunately she was just a smaller version of Mio but without her phobias. I empathised with her frustration with the group for procrastinating so much but I didnt understand why she couldnt just ditch the group. He ended up feeling more attached to them than anyone else despite being the most recent addition to the group. I didnt really care what happened to this one either.
Originality 2/10
Empathy 4/10
Sawako Yamanaka: The typical Teacher with issues. At least they made it relevant to music. And she did play a fairly large role.
Originality 2/10
Nodoka Manabe: The sensible one
Originality 0/10
Ui Hirasawa The sibling. A mature younger sister looking after a retarded older sister. I wonder where Ive seen this one before?
Originality 1/10
Overall Character Originality: 3/10 (Added an extra point because they can all play musical instruments)
Overall Character Empathy: 3/10 (well I suppose you have to take into account that an 18 year old guy is gonna find it difficult to empathise with a group of high school girls)
Overall Score: 6/10
Highlight of the series:
Spoiler for space:
When I saw it was a new Kyoto Animation anime, I just jumped on it, as the good fanboy I am.
Big disappointment, sadly.
KyoAni's strengths are making believable, loveable characters, with strong emotional moments in the story and incredible artistic skills.
The editing and overall artistic skills are still more or less here, but the rest wasn't at all like usual.
The characters don't really feel believable, they feel like "anime characters", with the expected reactions from anime characters in expected situations ; they lack the "natural" that would make them feel like persons and not, well, "anime characters". Additionnaly, they aren't really interesting, and I didn't really care what would happen to them - in fact, Yui and Riccha were quite bothersome and I was enjoying NOT seeing them :-/
Most of the show is VERY predictable, with predictable jokes and predictable reactions and predictable situations, which hampers a lot the fun there could have been and just make it feel "another one".
There is nearly no drama and emotion, and the little there is feel totally forced and weird. Again, a usual strong point that was a weak point in this show.
On the whole, I was quite bored, which is really a first in a KyoAni production. I often interrupted an episode in the middle to do something else, because I didn't care at all what happened. And I found myself somehow relieved when I finished the last episode - while I'm usually somehow sad, thinking "noooh, it's the end !" - the last concert's only effect was make me think "hey, I'd rather watch the one in Haruhi, this one was actually good".
So, in the end, a pretty mediocre show that was a huge disappointment and left me bored.
Still, I didn't gave it a 4 like I planned at first, and gave it "average" rating (6) instead. Because the realization is good, and I am maybe a bit harsh with it because I expected something "excellent" and only got something that was extremely average.
But it certainly is, by FAR, the worse show ever made by KyoAni.
Animation Quality: 7
Not the level I'm used to seeing from KyoAni, but far from being bad.
Voice Actors: 8
For a bunch of rookies they really did quite well once the characters were established enough.
Script: 4
I give the series full credit for sticking pretty well to the source material. The problem is, 4-koma manga usually doesn't give you much to work with and K-ON! has even less than usual. The embellishments they did give it felt largely forced and simply didn't establish any kind of interesting story.
Soundtrack: 9
The music makes this series, period. The OP, ED and insert songs are all fun and catchy.
Editing: 7
Not much to edit, but they did leave out a number of jokes and such from the manga.
Enjoyment: 8
In spite of its faults, the series was mostly fun to watch.
Emotional Involvement: 6
The only character I found I cared about at all was Yui. The rest of the lot were largely forgettable.
Overall: 49 / 70 = 70% = 7 (Grade is a low-end C, though it really deserves a D)
K-ON! is cute and somewhat enjoyable, but it's got all the substance of a marshmallow (which, amusingly enough, they sing about more than once). It's all fluff and very little else. One likable character, some nice music and decent animation do not make up for this series' faults, no matter how much moe you apply to try and distract the audience from them.
Without a lot of micro-analysis, I gave it a "7" (Good). It was reasonably entertaining, sweet, charming. Other than the musical band element, it was a relatively generic "girls come together as a team" story with fairly stock characters. The voice actresses worked very hard to give each character sufficient personality. Mio was relatively unique in that she seemed to be an amalgam of Kagami (L*S) and Motoko (LH).
Probably the funniest part of the series for me was Sensei's backstory ("too far") :)
Following up was Yui and her idiot-love relationship with her guitar.
Points for Mio's channeling of Darth Vader with her grip and Deathstar amplifier.
I've watched each episode twice now ... it does have some rewatchability and my opinion of it improved on the second viewing.
I've decided the profile singing shots of ep 12 are *not* "bad animation". Pull up some live video of female japanese rock singers and look for side profile shots (you'll find very few) -- they tend to jut their lips forward like that (Kotoko immediately comes to mind as I have a collection of her live performances).
I guess my major disappointment is that given this is a KyoAni production about a girl pop band... I'm still expecting more music video performances. Think of the old Monkees tv series (they had a song at the climax of every episode). After all, nothing stopped KyoAni from spending part of every episode in L*S with the anime-only L*Channel.... Still, what we got was fun and I'm planning on picking up the OST.
Animation Quality: 9
It is great for the most part, but there are a few times where it moved SO much, it was creepy... Mainly in the concert in the last episode.
Script: 7/10
Comedy was so-so. There were times it was just boring and times it was fun. Then there was that episode 11(?... or was it 10), where they tried to forcible make everything dramatic.
Characters... Only really got to like Azu-nya... Yui acts like she has problems mentally at times, Ritsu (and Yui) goof off too much (to the point it isn't funny), Mugi... neutral. Almost forgot her name... Mio was rather good, but the anime trying to make her as "moe" as possible had the opposite effect and made her just look pathetic, whimpering all the time... Sawako was fun. Ui... To be honest, boring. Great, you're perfect. (-_-)
Moe: They aimed for it... They really really obviously aimed for it. On the other hand, their aim was so obvious, it didn't work much... It wasn't completely fail in the moe department, but compared to how much they tried to get viewers to go moe, it wasn't that moe...
OP was decent. ED was great.
OP loses points for doing a very half-hearted job... If you are going to make a new OP, at least change it completely. Not make Azu-nya a ghost who only appears in a couple of scenes and gets left out everywhere else.
Overall... 7/10. The popularity of this anime is still baffling to me, but it was fun, in a normal way...
Might want that doujinshi with K-ON characters drawn by QP;flapper though...
I gave it a 9/10.
I usually take series that have OMG levels of hype with a grain of salt, but I'm definitely glad I took this series up. I always loved music, and seeing as how I love rock (what we Westeners would call the Japanese 'light music') and how I'll be taking guitar up in the fall, I gave this series a chance.
more to come in edits. ^-^
I used to play rhythm guitar .... the series did get me antsy to take up bass guitar - something I've wanted to do for decades and "never got around to it".
(caveat: I play bass guitar in Rock Band which, of course, is nothing like the real thing :) )
Well, I won't go into detail, whoever cared to read my other posts or somehow ended up on the blog will know a number of stuff already...
So, how I felt about it... Basically, it's "Good". I consider it above average, with some episodes being particularly enjoyable as to be "very good" while other dropped from the series average, with all the emo drama stuff. But overall, it was enjoyable. It's not a masterpiece, but the word says it all. It was a "good" series for me, and since "Good" here is 7, I'll pick 7. Actually, the fact that it had very little to do with actual music is a plus in my book. Since I'm basically only a listener, the whole music terminology and stuff would have been lost to me, so it's all good from my side.
Quite moe loaded IMO. Needs more risque scenes, Azunyan and Mugivision.
I think the main problem with K-on! was they were trying to make two very different shows.
On the one hand there was the source material and the thing the network had comissioned which was constant jokes and moe.
On the other hand there was the show the studio actually wanted to make, which dealt with the emotional connection betweeen the girls, those were the episodes I enjoyed the most, the over the top moe was too much.
After watching all 13 episodes of K-ON!, it is probably the most enjoyable slice of life/comedy/music anime so far in the spring season. Despite some drawbacks in a few episodes, the content of the series is pretty good and paired up with better animation than Lucky Star, K-ON! Is probably the 2nd best Kyoani comedy/slice of life series behind the Haruhi series.
K-ON! Anime adaptation is adapted from the 4 panel manga which two are published so far up to this date and still continuing. The story involves with a new freshman named Yui and don't know what club to join. Meanwhile Ritsu and Mio wants to join the light music club, but since there is a lack of members, the club was almost about to be cut. Soon, Tsumugi, a high-class girl who owns a music shop joins after changing her mind about joining the chorus club. Then, After Yui saw a poster on the light music club, she decides to join, but not able to play the guitar. After she obtained the guitar, over time she got better at playing. Club activities usually involve having tea and cake after school and cosplaying by Sawako towards the middle of the season. Next year, Azusa joined the club and soon they perform at the 2nd festival and named the band "Afterschool Tea Time" (or something like that)
Although there were a few instances of the beach episode being complete rehashes, the most of the series were different and also enjoyable with good comedy. In some report, the anime series cover 90% of the manga, although some of the content is made up to fill in the missing parts like in Lucky Star, it's still good.
The animation style of K-ON! Is a mix between Haruhi and Lucky Star, but K-ON's animation was a lot more detailed compared to Lucky Star. However, the animation is lacking a bit and not up to the beautifulness of Kyoto Animation's Air, Clannad, and Kanon remake and the awesomeness of Haruhi and FMP.
In K-ON! We have the four main girls, including two others who play a part later of the series and also the irresponsible teacher, Sawako-sensei who rather drink tea and also cosplay with other members.
Many will find who watched Lucky Star that the character designs are very similar with some exceptions. Ui, Yui's younger sister who is a lot more mature than Yui and takes care of her and Azusa-chan, a Tsundere, but not that much… and have a very timid personality.
Lucky Star to K-ON! Character Comparisons (for comparison
Tsukasa -> Yui
Kagami -> Mio
Miyuki -> Tsumugi
Konata -> Ritsu
Although some will find the background music somewhat bland, the performances are the selling point of K-ON! The performance music and the single albums of K-ON! sound outstanding although there are a few instances. Another thing is that the OP and ED sold over 100,000+ copies within a few weeks which means that it's proved as a success.
K-ON! is a great, lighthearted slice of life/comedy series that most people who are a fan of slice of life/comedy series should watch. However, some naysayers continuously said that the series is horrible… which isn't the point. K-ON! may disappoint some because it's not like Beck which have music performances frequently also with some fights, but if you look for what it is and have a open mind, you may end up enjoying it. Although some may be bothered by the moe factor in K-ON, the moe don't bother me nor I have praised it because it have moe. However, if you enjoyed Lucky Star, you will definitely have no problem enjoying K-ON! Like Lucky Star, some people might want another season… but with the fate of FMP so far, not for awhile.
Overall Rating:
8.8/10, B+ (Average of all 13 episode ratings)
Animation Quality: 9
There was a strong attention to detail in the instruments, which I greatly appreciate. The character designs were appropriate for a moe series, and each seemed to fit the character's personalities quite well. You can see the looser style that Kyoto Animation has been employing more and more over the years, but it really seems to work with a series of this nature.
Voice Actors: 9
The voice acting, by and large was very strong. However, I felt that Tsumugi seemed a bit too much like a caricature.
Script: 8
There were many good jokes in the script, and the comedy was usually pretty solid. However, as a musician, I felt that the musical jokes they made were pretty bland. Some people complain that K-On didn't focus enough on music, but I was happy that they didn't because that was usually when things took a turn for the worst.
Soundtrack: 10
What can I say? I love the opening theme. It's cute, it's energetic, and it's catchy. The ending is also very good, and the background music is appropriate. If you enjoy J-Pop and J-Rock you will find something to love in this series.
Enjoyment: 9
I usually had a smile on my face when I watched this series. Everything about the show was very very cute. Thus, I would rate my enjoyment very high.
Emotional Involvement: 6
Emotional involvement is not a big deal in this series, to me. The show is meant primarily for humor. When I want emotional involvement, I'll turn on something that's source material came from Key.
Overall: 8
Animation Quality: 8.
Kyoani slipped a little. Compared to CLANNAD. Still, one up fom Haruhi.
Voice Actors: 7
So-so. But they're rookies. So.
Script/Editing: 4
I'm sorry to say this, but: THERE WAS ONE!? Ok the problem: There was. This isn't Minami-ke so it does have a general plot. But after a few eps, I think it was thrown out in favor of "weekly randomning".
Hey, you know what? Even "fail script" anime like Myself; Yourself at least looked like they had one.
Soundtrack: 8
Compared to Haruhi, this isn't very spectacular. But it's about the standard of Myself; Yourself, Minami-ke and Maria-sama. So it's still good.
Enjoyment: 7
It was a moe-blob, and I came expecting that. So?
Emotional Involvement: 4
I think even Minami-ke had more of it. I mean. I'm not a girl. Although I do play bass. But this is like "hahahahahhahahahahahahhahah all the way."
OH COME ON. I mean, music isn't meant to be this easy! I'll drag in a Nanaka Yatsushiro, a Kotomi Ichinose and a Shinji Ikari to show the pains of music.
Total avg: 6.4-6.5
This is really, the most dismal showing from Kyoani so far. Ok actually it's problem was THE DAMN SAME AS MYSELF; YOURSELF. Not long enough to actually have a real plot. So there.
Ive already made quite an extensive overall review of K-On on my blog so this will be relatively short.
Animation Quality: 9.5
Animation was overall very good. Nothing truly spectacular, but i at least never noticed a major dip.
Voice Actors: 10
This was the most impressive part. With a near total newbie cast, they did a very good job. Yōko Hikasa (Mio) in particular really impressed me.
Script: 5
Defiantly the weakest point of this show. Mio teasing is entertaining for only a while. In short, the plot got stale quick.
Soundtrack: 10
Awesome songs, awesome ED song. Awesome lead singing from Mio. Just awesome overall
Editing: NA
I really dont notice this section too much so i cant really rate it.
Enjoyment: 9
I really enjoyed watching the show and is the only show i followed on schedule this season, Despite its faults.
Emotional Involvement: 5
Never noticed a emotional involvement in this show, but to be honest i didn't feel this show really tried to do that so this catagory is almost a non-factor.
Overall 8/10
Overall, it was an entertaining show, but the plot was a real let down. And to be truly honest, without Mio this show woulod have been a major fail.
