We are really thrilled with our "RandR" kitchen. The design and installation were both first class. Attention to detail was superb at all times and nothing was ever too much trouble. Ricky's care and imagination in design using state of the art technology was impressive and he translated our wishes into reality. This pride in the product was matched by Rick's careful and exact fitting.
Mr & Mrs Mays, Glossop
Thank you very much for an excellent bedroom. We are very happy with the bespoke matching walk-in wardrobe. Your installation guys worked hard, were professional and always on time. We would recommend you to friends and family.
Jane Davey, Denton
These lads did a sterling job on our kitchen from design to installation which is featured in their photo albums. Can't recommend highly enough.
Mark Brumwell, Romiley
Would like to say what an amazing job Richard & Richard's have done in my kitchen!! We love it love it love it... I would highly recommend these guys to all :~). Massive thanks to Rick the fitter you turned my kitchen around in such a short space of time. What a star man!!! Many Thanks
Liza & Ian, Romiley
We've just had our bedroom kitted out with new fitted wardrobes, dressing table and bedside cupboards designed and installed by Richard & Richard's. The design work and craftsmanship has truly been world class. We have been so impressed that we then decided to get a brand new kitchen from them. I found Richard & Richard's very customer focused, which is a rare thing these days, but is a true credit to them both. Thanks Ricky and Rick for making our home, a home.
Stephen Beswick, Gee Cross
We are so delighted with our new kitchen. We would like to thank Ricky for his design skills, which enabled us to fit a quart into a pint pot and Rick for his hard work in the most appalling weather conditions. All the other tradesmen were efficient and pleasant. Everybody pulled together to make the experience as painless as possible. Nothing was too much trouble. We would have no hesitation in recommending R & R to anyone who asks.
Mr & Mrs Lince, Romiley
After having concerns about the workmanship by another bathroom fitter I called Ricky. Rick came out the same morning to assess the work and confirmed that it was below standard. Ricky then re-organised his schedule so Rick could start work on my bathroom immediately, ensuring it would be fully functional in no time. I can't thank Richard & Richard's enough for the excellent job they did of fitting my bathroom. Ricky's quest for customer satisfaction and Rick's eye for detail allows me to refer Richard and Richard's to anyone with absolute confidence.
Luke & Liz, Heaton Mersey, Stockport
Hi Ricky and Rick, Just a great big thank you for our lovely new bathroom, from start to finish you have worked professionally, with nothing being to much trouble, redesigning, requoting & everything explained. The attention to detail on installation was superb,and nothing was to much trouble, always finishing the day by cleaning up. A professional job and we will certainly recommend you. Already past your number to a friend at work who wants a kitchen

i also considered "akira is really anal retentive" for the title but i figured that would be inappropriate
He's five years old! how. how. Deaged back to his Eggs-Cradle years. gosh
also my computer blew up with my other app on it so i redrew it in like three hours i guess that's okay it was kind of pos anyways
...I'm a pos
it's been so long since i've drawn a thing everything i do is pos please forgive my awful shading
please forgive my mistakes gosh it's almost 6 I should be in bed
>Name: Kamishiro Akira (神白明)
>Nickname: the only one that calls him aki-chan or akichii is hazuki and anyone else that calls him anything this remotely feminine will probably get an eraser thrown politely at their face
>Age: 14
>Gender: Male
>Birthday: September 27th
>Height/Weight: 169cm (5'6")/61kg (134lbs). He's tall for his age, but.. not tall enough.
>Year: 1st year
>Nationality: Japanese
>Roommate/Housemate: probably a vacuum cleaner
>Club: Art, cooking. More on the first than the latter, although he's fond of both.
>Personality: Responsible and blunt, Akira approaches situations with contained composure: but although he attempts to be civil and polite in the majority of his interactions with his peers, he has moments of surprising disparity (See: every time he sees Akifuji Hazuki). Although this composure may intimidate others, it can sometimes also make him more easily approachable--after all, amongst politeness, one can always expect a (somewhat) kind, albeit terse response--at the least, he's always reasonable, and at the best, he's eerily gentle. He's got a bit of a cold demeanor, but he means well.
He has yet to learn a way with words: in a formal setting, he can be a fluid speaker--but in the social scene, with words unrehearsed, he has a tendency to stumble here and there, when uncertain. When with those he's comfortable with, he has a sharp tongue, however--probably one that's a bit too unkind. He's generally mild-mannered, but as mentioned before, if you push his buttons ("I swear to god, if you touch my tie ONE MORE TIME I WILL SHOVE YOUR FILTHY FINGERS UP YOUR OVERLARGE NOSTRILS")---
He has a small streak of OCD: perfection is as desirable as it is necessary. Visibly, he has a strict eye for detail, making him as talented in being a tightwad as he is an artist. He has a knack for reaching over and straightening clothing and anything, really, that he finds out of place. When he dislikes someone, he has a tendency to outlet his spite with a smiling face. When he likes someone, it tends to be expressed in a frown. He does have a bit of a temper, but one that's quite difficult to access--that is, unless you're a slob.
+ He's fond of sweets. Definitely not something he'll mention to anyone, ever.
+ Clean things, neatness--he has a tendency to be a little obsessive over cleanliness.
+ Right angles. It's as true as it is embarrassing.
+ Surprisingly appreciative of artwork and music.
> although be it reminded that he has the singing voice of a slowly tortured walrus
+ his vacuum cleaner
- A subversion of his likes, perhaps--dirt is his worst enemy.
- He's actually a tad misogynistic once in a while, and dislikes being likened to a girl--because the truth is that he does look like a girl (thank god for the boy's uniform) thanks to his softer facial features. He'll make a point of trying to come off so masculine that it seems like a caricature once in a while.
- Animals, mostly because they're unsanitary--but you know, maybe he has a soft spot for small soft things-- maybe. If they're sterilized. he'd probably be better off with a terrycloth stuffed doll
- Imperfections--and as he's come to realize, there are a lot, regardless of where he turns: both in other people, the world around him, and himself especially.
- Failure. He studies hard, so his grades should match those efforts--right? He thinks so, at least.
>Biography: Akira currently has a single father, as his mother died during childbirth. He's also the single child of his family, and although his father tries as hard as possible to accommodate his son, he's still unable to accept the boy that "killed his wife". It's not really a conversation that's ever popped up between the two of them: after all, his father never wants Akira to feel guilty for a crime he hasn't committed. It's a discussion that has yet to be spoken, but the words are understood, even if unsaid. To cope with this, his father avoids the house by outsourcing himself on business trips--after all, Akira's of age, and therefore perfectly self-sufficient: or so goes the theory. They try to connect on an emotional level once in a while, but it's difficult. Their relationship is a little bit plastic and strained, but as genuine as the two of them can manage. It's not really a sore topic with Akira has yet to know this obviously major detail of his mother's death--and he probably won't for a while. He thinks it's weird once in a while, though. Dad's probably hiding something--he'll let it slide for now.
He currently lives alone, although his father visits over the weekends, and his aunt lives down the block from the apartment: as far as he's concerned, having the place to himself is pretty rad. It means that there's nobody but himself to make anything messy, and so long as that's intact, he figures everything's dandy. He works hard on his grades, keeping them as top-notch as humanly possible. As you might imagine, though, that means his social life amounts to a furtive romance with his feather duster.
>Quote: "Your shirt's crooked"; "Please fix your tie"; "Your buttons are crooked", anything of the like.
Akifuji Hazuki: A "friend" from middle school years. He wants absolutely nothing to do with her because she has chip crumbs tumbling from her chin every time he looks at her and it makes him want to cry. Once, she stuffed his bag full of tampons in middle school and he had a hell of time trying to reaffirm both his gender and sexuality to the rest of the class. About 20% of the class have yet to be convinced.
> Voice: Maaya Sakamoto. i'm so sorry that it hurts.
0:13 - 0:28
>Extra: He's a clean freak. This much is pretty much obvious hahahaha oh god
Nothing yet!
He is so cute and cool :3

The two sides looked set for their second goalless draw in the group until Xherdan Shaqiri slipped a pass through the Cyprus defence and Seferovic nipped in to lift the ball over goalkeeper Antonis Georgallides.
The Swiss, attempting to qualify for their third successive World Cup, went four points clear of Albania in Group E, regarded as the easiest of the nine European groups.
With coach Ottmar Hitzfeld serving the second game of a two-match touchline ban and the Stade de Geneve barely two-thirds full, Switzerland predictably dominated the game but struggled to break down the massed Cypriot defence.
Josip Drmic had a shot cleared off the line by Angelis Charalampous and Mario Gavranovic headed against the post in the opening minutes in a promising start.
Valentin Stocker curled a shot wide from 25 metres, Drmic fired into the side-netting after cleverly beating his man and Shaqiri twice had shots blocked in further Swiss attacks.
The pressure continued after the break as Georgallides made a one-handed save from Gavranovic's shot on the turn, pushed over another raking drive from Stocker and tipped away a Seferovic header.
The keeper made another save four minutes from time, blocking Shaqiri's shot with his legs after a well-worked move, but was powerless as Seferovic dinked the ball over him in the last minute.
Switzerland, unbeaten after six games, have 14 points, with Albania on 10 and Iceland nine. Cyprus are bottom with four.

Just ok
I don't guess I knew what to expect with this book but for me it was just OK. The characters were sort of likable and the story was sort a clever but it did not draw me in like some other books. As a mom I wouldn't let my young teens read it due to the anti marriage sentiment.
"Oh this is dreadful. Whatever shall I do?" This was the line that ended the book for me. Flat characters and robotic dialogue weren't enough to sustain me for another 300 pages. I thoroughly enjoyed the concept, but not the execution. The book has gotten high marks on here, so I'm fully aware that it's just an issue of my own preference toward the book.
Yesterday I finished reading Graceling by Kristen Cashore and lets just say I absolutely loved it! At first I was a bit weary because as I have told you before fantasy and paranormal books are not my favourite I sometimes find them a bit childish sometimes. Graceling however, was fantastic!
This book really does show how fierce a woman can be and that no man should ever need to protect you. I love how strong willed Katsa is and how fiercely she can love without even knowing she is doing it.
I will definitely recommend this book to all of my friends and suggest my school library to get a copy. Everyone need to read this book. I give this book a 4.5/5.
full review on https://bloomingbookreviews.blogspot.ca
Graceling has everything a great fantasy novel should have: magic, intrigue, a quest, bad guys, etc. Though this novel appears large, it is fast-paced and enjoyable to read. Chapters are usually short which makes it easy to read just one more for the next four or five chapters.
The characters are phenomenal. Katsa spends as much time fighting as she does learning about herself. Po and his family bring many surprises to the table. I highly recommend this book. I am also looking forward to reading the sequel, because this first one seemed to end too quickly.
In the world of the seven kingdoms, gifted children known as Gracelings are prized--and feared. Marked by mismatched eyes, each Graceling has a specific and almost superhuman skill--excellence at baking, at swimming underwater, at dancing or fighting. At age 8, Graceling Katsa killed a man. Ever since, her uncle, King Randa, has used her as his enforcer and assassin. Despite her reputation as a mindless killer whose bloodlust is only held in check by her uncle, Katsa is growing increasingly uncomfortable with her missions. Randa and the other kings are so focused on power that they neglect their citizens. With her two fellow enforcers and the king's son Raffin, she creates the Council. Through small, grassroots oriented actions, the Council helps the citizens of all seven kingdoms learn how to keep themselves safe.
All this is background--the true plot begins when Katsa encounters the Leinid prince Po. He is a Graceling as well, and for the first time Katsa can let loose while fighting someone. From training together, they develop a close friendship. Together, they must discover the true plot behind the kidnapping of Po's grandfather.
This is not a perfect book. The writing is a bit clunky, particularly at first, and I don't think the Council was as rounded out as it could have been. Princess Bitterblue was unbelievably thoughtful and articulate for a 10 year old. The ending was a little rushed.
This was a really exciting, enthralling story. I found myself reading as quickly as possible, just to find out what happened next. I literally shouted out loud when Katsa *runs for days over mountains* with Bitterblue on her back, fighting mountain lions all the way. Although she seems like a cliche in the first few chapters, Katsa is far from it. She loves having superhuman physical powers, even though she is aware of how it sets her apart from an ordinary life. She refuses to be tied down--even after she falls in love, she maintains her stance against marriage and children (take THAT, Tamora Pierce!). The characters aren't stupid, either. I realized who the villain of the story was only a few pages before the characters themselves, and there is an actual, plot-related reason it took them those extra pages.
This is not the most well-written fantasy novel, but it is one of the most exciting, least problematic books I have read in some time. Given that this is the author's first novel, I can't wait to see what she does next.
In a world of gossip girls, it is perhaps refreshing to have a teenage heroine who cuts off all her hair because it gets in her way; and Kristin Cashore's eccentric and absorbing first novel, "Graceling," has such a heroine. Katsa is tough, awkward, beautiful and consumed by pressing moral issues

Wikipedia in English (2)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0547258305, Paperback)If you had the power to kill with your bare hands, what would you do with it?
Graceling takes readers inside the world of Katsa, a warrior-girl in her late teens with one blue eye and one green eye. This gives her haunting beauty, but also marks her as a Graceling. Gracelings are beings with special talents—swimming, storytelling, dancing. Katsa's Grace is considered more useful: her ability to fight (and kill, if she wanted to) is unequaled in the seven kingdoms. Forced to act as a henchman for a manipulative king, Katsa channels her guilt by forming a secret council of like-minded citizens who carry out secret missions to promote justice over cruelty and abuses of power.
Combining elements of fantasy and romance, Cashore skillfully portrays the confusion, discovery, and angst that smart, strong-willed girls experience as they creep toward adulthood. Katsa wrestles with questions of freedom, truth, and knowing when to rely on a friend for help. This is no small task for an angry girl who had eschewed friendships (with the exception of one cousin that she trusts) for her more ready skills of self-reliance, hunting, and fighting. Katsa also comes to know the real power of her Grace and the nature of Graces in general: they are not always what they appear to be.
Graceling is the first book in a series, and Kristin Cashore's first work of fiction. It sets up a vivid world with engaging characters that readers will certainly look forward to following beyond the last chapter of this book. (Ages 14 and up) --Heidi Broadhead
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:06:50 -0400)
In a world where some people are born with extreme and often-feared skills called Graces, Katsa struggles for redemption from her own horrifying Grace, the Grace of killing, and teams up with another young fighter to save their land from a corrupt king.… (more)

Despite Complaints, Do or Dine's Foie Gras Doughnuts Aren't Going Anywhere
The Bed-Stuy eatery says the doughnuts stay in the picture.
Even though some people are outraged — outraged, we say! — that a chef would have the audacity to make foie gras doughnuts, the owners of Do or Dine tell Bed-Stuy Patch that they have no plans to take their foie doughnuts off the menu anytime soon. "We're not married to having the item on the menu, but we're definitely married to doing what we want to do," says co-owner Luke Jackson. He adds: "This petition was started by a young woman in Main [sic]. She has no idea what our business is; she knows nothing about this community nor what we're trying to do." Good for him! Now then, who's going to step up and bring these awesome-looking foie gras ice-cream sandwiches to NYC? [Bed-Stuy Patch]

To supply the carburetor and the Sportsman Fogger System in carbureted applications, use a fuel pump designed to operate between 5 and 10 psi with a flow rate of 0.1 gallons per hour per horsepower at 6 psi. Fuel injected applications will require a fuel pump that flows at least 0.1 gallons per hour at system pressure. For example at 42 psi flowing, a motor that makes 450 hp while the nitrous system is activated will require at least 45 g.p.h. at 42 psi flowing, and going down the track. Due to high power levels and cylinder pressures produced by Sportsman Fogger Systems it is highly recommended that you use high quality forged pistons and rods as well as high quality racing ignition system with timing control. If horsepower gain in more than 40% of original, forged pistons are recommended.

The Law of Reapportionment: Party-Poor Theories of Representation
We now turn to the final element of the Court's constitutional theory of representation, its treatment of party subsystems of representation. To this point, we have noted three aspects to the Court's theory. The first was a dominant individualistic perception of politics reflected in one-person, one-vote and mathematical equality of the vote. The second was a growing awareness of the role of group politics in achieving representation, and the gradual incorporation of group considerations in the law of reapportionment. The third was a neopluralist experiment in formal group representation in campaign financing, as the Court sought to equalize the influence of groups by monitoring and controlling their financial input.
Each of these aspects reflected a deficiency in representational theory. The dominant individualism slighted the functional representative significance of collectives. The subsequent inclusion of groups in the equation occurred without a structural tool that would uniformly and consistently recognize the representative capacity of all groups. The neopluralist approach in campaign financing, while well-intended, falls prey to the insurmountable theoretical and pragmatic challenges of formal group representation.
The preceding discussion of party systems indicates that each of these imbalances could be rectified by giving greater credence to party structures of representation. We now turn to several areas

I made it to NaPoWriMo's halfway checkpoint! It's crazy how fast this month is flying by so fast. All I can do is keep the momentum going!
This is my first time writing a pantun. It's a Malay poetic form that follows the a-b-a-b rhyming scheme and each line is between 8 – 12 syllables. Love is the main theme for these poems, so I decided to write about love since I rarely do. These were really fun to write, so I wrote two!
60 Degrees Fahrenheit
Spring has gotten over its cold
and greeted me with sunshine and a gentle breeze.
If love feels like this, then I'm sold.
Oh, my heart is wide open like the Seven Seas.
Your secrets are safe, tucked inside
the creases of my ears, darling.
Bottled messages wade with tide,
won't be revealed. Waves are hurling.

With this powder mixed in water and then applied to mildew on grout between tile. Allowed it to work for 30 minutes, then used a scrub brush lightly, then rinsed. Mildew was reduced by 80% after one application. I was too lazy to apply a second time. :-(

fresher and brighter clothes and bedding than with ordinary oxy clean. much more effective than salt and baking soda, which i was going through boxes on a weekly basis. i find i use 2 oz. per load, instead of 1 oz., as they suggest.
Works great!

Helps to remove stains, may need more number of times of soaking for stubborn stains.
Leaves clothes a bit brighter and whiter

This bleach powder seems to work without damaging your clothes. The whites become whiter and colors brighter.

Khronos Group helping SPECviewperf 10 to come for Linux, Mac OS X
With a major overhaul of how the future of OpenGL is shaped and Khronos Group taking over the development of the API, development of SPECviewperf was switched from being developed inside the SPEC OpenGL Performance Characterization group to the SPEC Graphics Performance Characterization Project Group. The future of this benchmark is going multi-platform, since the development group is pushing to release binaries for Linux and Mac OS X. If the people manage to pull this one off, there is no reason why SPECviewperf will not continue to dominate the professional graphics benchmark space for many years to come.

Didn't miss it, but i have to agree with you guys about the method you obtain it.
I remember the old games that the ball was given to you as one of the final prizes. When i played the third generation and found myself in that room, searching for items, and found myself with a Master Ball, i asked myself why. It could of been possible that the team Aqua wanted to use it ti capture Kyogre, but you could have obtained it after beating the grunt before the submarine, or else when you get out, they seal the place, and give it to you as a reward.

RIP, Andy Richardson, member of "a bazillion" Twin Cities bands
Via Facebook
UPDATE: A memorial auction has been set up to help benefit Andrew Richardson's family, including memorabilia and signed items from musicians like Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, the Black Keys, and Spoon. The auction will run until October 12, 2014.
Twin Cities musician, sound engineer, and devoted family man Andrew Richardson has died. He was 36.
The longtime ZVEX Effects employee was reported missing by his wife Marisa "Moe" Richardson, and his body was found the next day.
Born February 24, 1978, Richardson grew up in Minnetonka, and moved to Minneapolis right out of high school. His talents as a guitarist, vocalist, and bassist were spread all over the local scene. "He played in a bazillion bands," says Moe. Included were the Crush, described by City Pages' David Hansen as "pop punk with a heart, a rapier wit with searing chord work, a forceful jangle that owes as much to broken strings as to impassioned strumming." His other projects included the Book of Dead Names, the Dirty Hits, Infinity Dive, Start:Destruct, and many more.
The Crush saw success in the early '00s with their debut studio album, Tonight Will Ruin Tomorrow, and their sophomore album, Here Is Where I Cross My Fingers, was released on Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong's Adeline Records in 2002.
The frequently sarcastic Richardson attended IPR in his late 20s, and worked at many restaurants in the Twin Cities, the last one being the Bryant-Lake Bowl. He worked at ZVEX Effects for nearly a decade. He was a driving force behind the Lyn-Lake DIY venue the Sociopath House, and booked and performed there regularly.

But aside from his many accolades and friendships in the music scene, Richardson will be remembered as a man who loved to go fishing on Little Pine Lake, and as a loving husband to his wife of seven years and their three-year-old son Bronson. "He's my soul mate, my true love, he was the one," says Moe. "He put his all into his family."
"I want people to honor my husband," she continues. "I want people to tell stories. I want his spirit to live on through our stories. We need to save these stories. I'm filling a box of pictures for my son. I want people to reach out to each other. I want to think of him in happy ways."
Services will be held at Evans-Nordby in Osseo on Saturday, September 13. Doors are at 12 p.m., and a celebration of life ceremony is at 2 p.m. Moe requests that attendees bring a story on a piece of paper, and pictures of Andrew to put in a box for their son. A YouCaring site has been set up to support the Richardson family here.

If you're looking for anime similar to K-On!, you might like these titles. All recommendations are made by Anime-Planet users like you!
Spring in the first year of high school. Kumiko, a member of the brass band in junior high school, visits the high school brass band club with classmates Hazuki and Sapphire. There, she comes across Reina, her former classmate from junior high. Hazuki and Sapphire decide to join the club, but Kumiko can't make up her mind. She recollects her experience with Reina at a competition in junior high school.

I agree
KyoAni visuals, and music based too. Though K-On focuses more on the characters and looking more cute, Sound! Euphonium is a nice Music focused series with the visual appeal as K-On.
Both KyoAni highschool music club shows, K-on has more moe cuteness to it, but both sport enough similarities regarding visuals and themes for an enthusiast to be likely to enjoy the other.
Very similar~~~
A band made up of high school girls, that play music.
Characters look awefully similar aswell.
Ryuuji Takasu has an eventful life: his classmates think he's a delinquent due to his 'killer' eyes; his crush Minori seems ever out of reach; and he's just had an unfortunate encounter with 'palm-sized Taiga' – a feisty and dainty wench in his class. With different cleaning habits and tempers, the two clash like night and day; that is, except for the fact that Taiga and Ryuuji have crushes on the other's good friend! With school rumors abounding, the duo must now work together to play matchmaker for each other. Who will end up with their true love?
While K-On doesn't show much romantic promise like Toradora! did, I think anyone who liked Toradora will like K-On.
The comedy is similar, as well as the pace. Some characters are alike, aswell.
Although Toradora! is obviously more romantic, both of the series take place in a school with similar comedy and a similar pace. Both of these shows had good animation and sound tracks (although K-On! has the better soundtrack, seeing as it is based on a music club).
Tenma Tsukamoto is young, bright, and smitten with the school hottie Oji Karasuma. She's desperate for his attention, which is unfortunate considering he barely gives her the time of day! Throw Kenji Harima, the school delinquent with a crush on Tenma into the mix and you've got one twisted love triangle of unrequited proportions! Can love find the trio happiness before their attention-grabbing stunts end up hurting more than their egos?
2 votes
I agree
Both are comedy anime and are about school life. At both Anime I LOLed. Both anime take place on school for the most part and in both Anime there is a vacation (or was the vacation/trip in School Rumble 2??)
K-ON! and School Rumble are two similar High School based anime. Both anime have casts that are in high school and are fairly crazy. The lead girl in each anime has the "airhead" complex and a sister to keep them heading in the right direction. Even though school rumble is a little more crazy than K-ON!, i believe that people who watch the one will enjoy the other. The comedy of both anime is not notch!
Winning a game of Mahjong is hard; getting the same score every time is practically impossible. So imagine the surprise of the school Mahjong club when Saki Miyanaga walks in and does just that. Despite her dislike for the game, her talent is obvious and it's up to the club members - the top-heavy Nodoka, the energetic Yuuki, the cunning Mako and the permanently in control club president Hisa - to persuade her to join the club and help them reach the Nationals. But even then, will their combined skills be enough to overturn some of the toughest high school players the country has to offer?
Both Saki and K-On! are typical examples of succesful "cute girls being cute" anime. They both are moe-series about the members of a high-school club having fun together. Saki is more focussed on competition than K-On!, but in essence both shows are trying to do exactly the same: keeping you entertained with light-hearted fun and cuteness.
Ahhhh K-on, and Saki. Two excellent anime that feature cute girls doing cute things. Both go a little deeper than that, but especially Saki. Both of these are about high school girls and their clubs. K-on is light music, Saki is Mahjong. Both are stuffed to the brim with moe.
From there the similarities diverge quite a bit. K-on! in general is more light in tone and feel, and there is a lot more emphasis on the "Cute girls doing cute things" aspect. Saki focuses much more heavily on the primary plot, that is to say, Mahjong. And boy what Mahjong it is. Exciting toIf you like one of these, chances are that you will like the other.
Tomoya Okazaki is a third-year high school student who is generally bored with life and doesn't take his studies, future, or anything else seriously. One day, however, he meets a lonely-looking girl in the school courtyard, Nagisa Furukawa. She explains to him the source of her loneliness: she had missed a lot of the previous school year and thus is repeating her third year; everybody that she knew has already graduated, and she is lonely. Tomoya is rather indifferent at first, but decides that he has nothing better to do and spends increasingly more time helping Nagisa restore the school drama club. As his relationship with Nagisa grows, Tomoya begins to open up to various other people around the school as well...
Although K-On! stays away from love stories, both of these series are slow moving, school based stories that have forming a club as a strong motivator in the series (at least for some of each of them).
Although the story and plotline is rather different the humour in both of these have a simular after taste. Both of them can be watched several times without getting bored.

Katelynn Cusanelli, who some may remember from MTV's "The Real World: Brooklyn" as the first (and only) openly transgender person in the show's twenty year history, and as an activist and lecturer in the LGBTQ community who has worked to raise awareness regarding HIV & AIDS, participated in an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit, a user-driven content aggregation site, yesterday afternoon.
Cusanelli responded to questions from Redditors on topics such as her opinions on the LGBT community, her favorite video games (she is a self-proclaimed "esteemed geek") and her experiences during and after appearing on the "Real World." Save a few negative commenters, many Redditors seemed appreciative of her taking the time to discuss personal issues so candidly. As one Redditor put it, "This has been very informative for a straight dude with no transgendered friends."
We have collected some highlights from the AMA below. Some have been shortened, mainly because we're not sure how many readers are as well-versed about Dungeons & Dragons and role playing video games as Cusanelli is. You can see the entire delightfully nerdtastic AMA here.
How do you feel your experience on the "Real World" has affected your life? Has it changed any of your views or habits? What do you think is the biggest thing you've taken from it (literally or otherwise)?...
Response: ...The "Real World" affected my life in mostly positive ways, though it has made it very difficult to get a job (try explaining to your employer why you drunkenly slid down a support column in Gettysburg) and it has all but ruined my love life, heh....
"And it has all but ruined my love life..." How come?
Response: I like to think I am "passable" (I loathe that term, and I believe the younger Transwomen call it "trapping" but I'm no fan of that phrase either, as it is entirely pejorative while being flattering at the same time, heh), and when I date I like to let the person get to know me before I come out as transgender.
However, in this day and age you'd be a complete fool not to at least do a cursory Google search of someone you're dating, and thus my dates tend to trudge up very intimate and personal details about me with no context or frame of reference. It just adds additional degrees of entropy which make an already frustrating and difficult process that much more so.
And then there are those who react violently...
Question: If you were / are not a fan, what was the inspiration to audition for the show?
I personally hate reality TV and would never dream of going on to a show like that save for some sneaky, covert, bring-it-down-from-the-inside type job. Was that your real plan?
Response: It wasn't about me or my desires, it was about representing a community that has been heretofore woefully misrepresented if not underrepresented in the media. I did it to show not all of us look like linebackers in a dress (a la Jerry Springer), and not all of us are completely fucked up and damaged. We're real people. =)
Question: I am always intrigued by trans people and how they invent an identity that corresponds with who they feel they really are. As a female, how did you come to identify/choose the name Katelynn? What name were you given at birth? And, PS... you really do look like a "Katelynn"!
Response: Aww, thank you! I don't really give away my birth name, not because it's a sensitive issue for me, just that I don't want to set any precedence that it's something trans people are willing to disclose. I'm not suggesting you specifically are doing this but some people do use the birth name as a way of overlaying a gender identity that we don't agree with, almost as if to say, "I know what you really are."
As for how I decided upon the name Katelynn, it was rather methodical and geeky, heh. I went through my elementary and middle school yearbooks and a found a name that was somewhat common for my class/birth year... and then spelled it completely and totally fucked up. lol
Question: ...How did your parents feel about the whole transgender process and assuming pre-op your sexuality? Were they aware?...
Response: ...I was born and raised in a traditional Roman Catholic Sicilian household within a Military family. Initially, the family didn't respond too well. I left home when I was 17 and thankfully over the years have repaired the relationship with my family. It took them a long time to realize there are worse things in this world their child could be other than transgender...
Question: As an activist in the LGBTQ community, how do you feel about trans-discrimination from gay/lesbian people? Do you still do TKD [Taekwondo]?
Reponse: I feel as though there is far too much in-fighting within the QUILTBAG (thank you shobble for giving me a new term!) community and as long as we're too busy fighting over kicking people out of the little boat we're all in, we're gonna miss an opportunity to gain a better standard of living as a whole.
I have not trained in TKD since 2003. I haven't formally trained in any martial art since 2008.

On County Route 3, about three miles outside the Village of Clayton, discover Coyote Moon Vineyards. The vineyard is nestled between the gentle rolling hills that cradle the St. Lawrence River. As you approach Coyote Moon, let your eyes wander over the lush green grape vines and picturesque landscape. Prepare to lose yourself in the Excitement, Romance & Award-Winning Wine that is Coyote Moon Vineyards.
When you arrive at Coyote Moon, pull open the front door and enter the tasting room. You will be greeted with howls and smiles from an ever-welcoming staff member. As you make your way to the tasting bar, you will notice Mary Randazzo's artwork drawing you in, take time to study her work and walk through her vision. Investigate the cork cages shaped like purses, stoppers, jams, salsa, pasta, sauce, and a variety of wine-related sundries that catch your attention.
Once you are at the tasting bar, you will be greeted again by a friendly Coyote Moon staff member and given a tasting menu. Listen as he or she explains the menu and prepares you for your journey into delicious adventure. Then all you need to do is kick back and taste. Coyote Moon embraces the idea that your wine tasting should be fun! The Coyote Moon staff will teach you wine rhymes to make you giggle, host howling competitions between the guests to keep things lively and help you pick your favorites. The staff will also give you tips and creative ideas on how to drink the wine, which is by the bottle of course. (But please remember to always drink responsibly!)
Whether you are a wine connoisseur or new to the wine world, you can trust in the fact that you will be encouraged to test your taste buds in a comfortable, friendly environment… the Coyote Moon staff member will probably even cheer for you! You will be taken on a delectable, taste bud tantalizing tour from dry to sweet and everything in between. You will hear the family stories, the reasons behind the labels, and you may even learn to dance the tarantella! (Or at least the staff's interpretation of the tarantella.)
If you want to take a behind-the-scenes tour of the vineyards…simply ask. An enthusiastic staff member will take you on a guided tour of the tank room, barrel room, crush pad and more! If you want a glass of wine and a picturesque view, walk out to the patio and pull up a chair.
Groups of all sizes are welcome, but if you want the experience to be a little more personalized, just call ahead and Coyote Moon will be happy to arrange your tasting and tour with you! One thing for sure is that Coyote Moon strives to create a uniquely fun-filled experience.
We look forward to seeing you!
