Input: [When] 5 days ago [Comment] Oh I nerly forgot the ghost lanes this is were people regularly drive or stop on one of sides [or middle] of a marked single lane that is actally wide enough for three busses to pass each other on. Its something to do with freedom to stop while not over regimenting the road space's use. Sometimes 5 or six ghost lanes run without even a middle line a buses stop two abrest on both sides and the cars, taxis and cycles weave though gaps! [Post]

Input: [When] 5 days ago [Comment] Thank you escada. There's a lot to consider for laneing since just numbered them in a old "routing"-way. I thought about the josm plugin but I don't have a computer compatible with the latest josm accept one I borrow from work when I have a spare moment, this will all need to be more manual for me. I've been tending a lot toward the area mapping camp, mainly because I started mapping narrow fottpaths that link very wide roadsmeaning linking to the centre way created a lot of confusing distotion in the map because of the fictious extensions required. Though area:highway mapping has been under appriciated (locally to where I map with other contributers) till recently and much more diffuicult than some people think due to the increase in node accuracy and problems of using picture backgrounds with lots of over hanging trees. though I see a logic for lane definition as the next step in adding practical detail especially for routing devices that handle this level like ,ordern sat-navs on major highways (at the moment - till we start feeding new stuff from the new tagging in OSM ;) ). My major dificultiy is that the roads I'm mapping have a lot of complex laneing and ghost laneing features, that work differently with diferent types of road-users. Forr example on approach to a roundabout a cycle lane (in-carrageway) widens the splits with one part crossing diaganly across another vehical type's lane before sometimmes settleing between two others futher along. This enables road users to pridict each others paths easier and in theory improve things. Onther complex arangement is at rounderbouts that have been given lane markings painted as sometimes (espcially at part also retro-fitted (or now pre fitted) with traffic-lights) when there are several sets of lanes that are superimposed into the same place (ie 4 lanes continueing around but also 5 lanes leaving and then 4 lanes pulling off through the middle to a half flyover - now these lanes aren't alongside each other but painted over the topand though each other the th=raffic light phases orhcastrat sainty in the flows by traffic taking turns to use the differnt alignments though sometimes its up to the divers to weve though each other in there lanes by speed adjustment. All this is cool till you try to adapt lane designation tags to it! I'm thinking that the routing way (routing being its main function when areaisation uses a lot of area:highway's) is also like to be overburdened when I have to split it for the rapidly varying multi-clausal parking rules (I counted about 50 on one local residential streat alone (they asked each terrace house what they wanted right outside the house because it getting so contentious!) This might not sound very positive but it just the sort of real-world "fun&games" type problems that keep thing intreasting and making it less mundane. I think in the end I'll wind be let to add area:highway=lanes across each other in a superimposing sence and just leave it to the consumer to figure out how to present it all. though the use of accesstype and placement tags (giving forking lane gidance could see it wind up makeing logical sence at least to a routing algorithum). But fist I've got to wade though the [tree-]crowns to get the sidewalks linded up right. Then onto happy lane mapping. Thanks again for your very useful links. -Govanus [Post]

Input: [When] about 1 month ago [Comment] the main way is to suck in all the data for series of bounding boxes that cover the site in question then use sort process (often linked to renderstyling files like Mapcss and ealy xml stylesheets. these rejct everything you don't tell them to map in the render (mapcss can in advanceced use not only drill down but do both computation on varibles stored in tags and plot multiple line and area features {see the road lane stylesheet add-on option of a multilane highway to see it rendered with dashed line between each lane on a route widenend to meet the number of lanes}. MapCSS can in most systems if study yhte advance guides work with nested relations withen boolean equations of different tags). So it shouldn't be too hard with some systems to avoid roads and airports if that is a bit unhelpful complex and reliant on others work you could try a data appoch and treat the xml datafile in a spreadsheet or text editior to sort thourgh using find and replace. If you you have too much to do I not the odd course now and then and need something quicker for baulk work then try reasuching the likes of gawk/awk, grep, perl and other text pocessing systems oftern originating on unix machines but are now availble from some place for a lot of the other popular platforms like MS-Windows, Risc-OS and different types of the Mac-OS's (pre & post X) etc. Ihope this might be useful.

Input: [When] about 2 months ago [Comment] I'm not arogant just after spending overtime on the issue a little bit driven or determined ;) I think the grammer reflected the weriness. Convince me and I'll be convinced :) Having read anything pertaining by subject header from 2007 about A-roads and checked the same on the local Cotswolds section that didn't begin before 2009 by focusing on the last year and this. I seems that it was actually agreed that all A roads would either be green Trunks or red primaries with all B-roads coming as Secondaries. Only two people in the cotsowld group seemed to show concern for the high street reming tertairy or below. The only other option I could deduce was that in Dec 2007 when you met in the Jerrico Arms pub you may have discussed it and then not put any minites up on the list... You also seem to have difficulty keeping the opion that it should remain so lowly rated that you felt that the council would need to change it to meet your point of view. So it looks like the community of officials and some of the locals are struggling to agree with your stated position. {thats just a judgement of what been presented to me to detmine a judgement on - in the sence of being pusuaded otherwise}. As nobody wanted to take up the question of tagging of areas that if not messed up by others can work with older systems by making the new ares look distigusable. I think some thought that the logic of useing the same taging for points, ways, areas and relations would be the most logical - but its been shown that two meny things take ways and areas (both held in data the same way as ways cept some additional tagging or tag inferance of area like landuse, ment that wasn't going to fly with roads like it was solved for rivers land use and buildings etc) messy but thats dealing with legacy for you. I do agree that boycotting for the demotion of a major road just because it works in two halves during the day is a bit too political. I've to leave for closeing now but I'll look some more in a few sdays at your grooups . [Post]

Input: [When] about 2 months ago [Comment] Thinks for the messages coming in from so many paths that I'm largely out of sync and in lag to many... I don't read my email as often as some may think so if I map before reading changeset comments might take 2 to 4 days to get noticed! they do get there in the end but they might be out of date by then. ok so lets try and answer some the flurry of points and counterpoints before we need to erect another memorial to martyrs south of the covered market [this for those not familiar to Oxford under discussion relates to the two memorials marking where Catholics were burned and killed during the civil-war in Christendom some centuries ago]. first I have been walking though these roads for a long time and all through the recent edit phase,(add have been out surveying again today) and have a good feel of the weight of traffic by length as well as number for most parts of the day and night (I usually walk though the site anytime upto about 1-3am in the morning as well as throughout the day and evenings). So unlike other areas I might map more lightly for less in depth info this is a spot I do no and from today have the ref's for every sign in the middle of the road and a proportion of the lamps and signals too, plus I could map fairly easily every manhole cover etc... So why did I change it from tertiary to Primary? Well several factors coalesced to get it done the week. One I had previously challenged the removal of Ref tags on these roads. As I had seen them in use and felt that that removal had been judgemental and incorrect kind of how people felt about me bumping up the priority of the High street. Incidentally it was the out of date ref:note tag that I referred to as out of date. As it clearly was - stating that the refs where not present when they now were again. Two the reasoning given in the note didn't really reflect what I saw on the ground which was a busy road dispite the restriction that people try to use when it was justified. I looked a lot at that confusion issue some have been mentioning about it being a through route and then not and I specificly added the first basic bus_gate barrier tags to help resolve the problem. ..but they didn't make it to many renderings and so people still became confused. thats when I invested 7 hours to mark the barrier in the area:highway system [that's been in the wiki-tagging "manual" in different forms for near 4 years at least. I had a lot of need for these when mapping the relations between narrow footways and wide roads and before sidewalks became known to me as separatable as I need to make so meny fictious ways to join stuff up even if the side walk made them less than a meter apart the centre of the road could be 5 or 10meters in places so the result was just horrible to look at and dificult to relate to the real landscape at the end. I did my homework on the wiki and tried adopt the tagging being asposed for us to use for this purpose. ..but again not everyone was reading from the same "hymn-sheet" and the discord was driving me nuts with people chngeing my contributions into tag sets that broke renders and routers alike. eventually I looked up what were the latest wiki options and posed it as a question on this diary system http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Govanus/diary/24021 and then, upon advice from an reader of the entry, to the help questions system https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/38079/latest-fashions-in-area-highways-and-the-plan-for-wash-common-coming-soon (it does vary between the two versions a bit as I tried to refine it etc). Which promptly failed to get any answers because it was closed prematurly for being a copy and paste of the diary entry. So so much for community help and consensus. So I pick a wiki type and blunderbust it into areas for others tidy or squabble over. So thirdly with having thought the confusion problem was solved. I looked at the anomaly of such a highly prioritised road that apparently wasn't because you couldn't drive a car through it all day. So I began importing the latest version of the Millennial Transport strategy - lorry part that should how planners wanted lorry and other access 24 hours a day. The road is used as a branching spine for lorry routes approching from opersite side of the barrier. (this process is not yet compleated for the whole city yet but about half might be complete (not such if it needs new tags etc..)) Fourthly all those previously stated reasons came into my head. Now I understand that by vehicles alone it might look less but what if those figures are weighted statistically by size, weight, road-wear, number of occupants in each vehicle and traffic jams of 12-9 buses with some vans thrown in is a bit more substantial than 12-9 cars in a row. Incidentally when I came into the library to write all this and do other stuff I clocked that that the traffic on Longwall backs up from the southern lights by the high street as far back as the Marston Cycleway at the corner by the parks.... So I wasn't impressed that it had been still redemoted for being "confusing" and an anomaly. There's less traffic at the top end of the A4158 (Iffley Road) especially after the junction with the B4495. I also don't believe that so much traffic from the A420 goes straight down the A4158 for instance - a Good chunk finds its way onto the A4165 and the A4144. Really if its such a massive contention why net let the highways authority sort it out - and yes they picked to make and keep it as a primary now if British B-roads (originally 25% non-local traffic) are tertiary so that the Supped Expressways like the E05/A34 are primary and the other minorised A roads (original 50% or more nationally funded for a lot of non-local traffic) then make some secondary but I loby for the B480 to go to a secondary A-road then. The B480 has so much built around it since the 1930's began. but then it local to non-local traffic not busyness that determined that after all there B road dual carriageways about the land and on the side of southpark in Oxford there is the remains of a white unclassified dual-carriageway Warnford Lane(to many students park in it to work properly now). So when local people find the tertiary setting an anomaly and very confusing to use the because of it. I might just crack under the evidence and start taking action. I'm happy to debate it, but I would like to remind renderers that make road maps that they should add barriered streets for the benefit of there users as this is how the whole Transport control system is designed to work around in Oxford at least. The adage is you can drive virtually anywhere but just not through anywhere. The other big point I reserlution on is an agreead area mapping standard that we all agree on implement or doge and so things and just be mapped in peace and the OSM mapping system improved. [Post]

It seems that just becuse a few buses cycles and pedestrians use it some how dosn't count to be rated highly. The vey high volume of remaining traffic as mentioned above and the factthat the councils are looking to build a tunnel to take just the buses alone shows that it isn't a good enough reason to demote the route.

Input: [When] 6 months ago [Comment] Having looked at jackfifield's picture it feels more like a private site as the signs used by the operater are not correct to the highway code.

In fairness as its private land the operator could invent there own signage (like at some highway service stations and shopping parking roads, though comprehension is usally best served by a degree of conformity. In the south of Oxford, UK there is a business estate that had a roundabout at the end of a front drive. As the front drive was laid as an all-purpose dual-carageway (4 lanes in all) the sidewalk that ran around the roundabout went though a very short paved path at the end of a bush (growing down the central reservation) as the plants grew up tall the site operater erected a sign faceing the oncoming traffic approching the roundabout (from the outside the park), that I guess was suppose to warn people about pedestians. Unfortunatly the sign chosen was a UK version of No Pedestians! So as it faced away from pedestians going to cross it was ignored by them and sent the inverse message to any drivers who could be justified to expect no pedestians crossing beyond that point. Needless to say it was just ignored. The site is at the rounderbout here (drive comes in from the north):- [Post]

Input: [When] 9 months ago [Comment] I have thought alot about sidwalk inclusion and find it more useful for the thisgs I do and map wich relate to pedestrian facilities and class seperated roads with borders seperated and mixed cycleways and diversions into footpaths. I find adding to much to a way is going to be a problem going forward as to implement the current parking scheme I already will need to chop some short residential streets about 30-50 times for each offical change in parking allowances along its length If start choping it for other small features its going to become very unweildly and considrably less useful to routing that has to wade though more routeing ways when one cleaner one would have been faster to use. I think relationships connected feature in the areas descibed in the article would help glue all of it back into a logical data entity. Thinking carefully about backwards compatibleity I concluded that if a system wasn't expecting something new then it wouldn't hurt too much to put a new thing where the old system wasn't expecting it to be on the basis that a system adapting to find the new thing could as happily look for it in the new place when it was in a form an old system could understand its format ie only taged ways nodes and relatiions still.

I also found little things about needing to get the latest java to run on a generaly not upgradeing machine a niggle to me too. I've been meaning to write a vector graphic editor for a while so it was good reason to develop a new interface for working in 3D OSM a lot of the time.and also worked simply with cached versions wms tiles I'm not to sure but I had some difficulties with using the sorting seach in JOSM but I'm now about 700 versions behind as JOSM changes so fast. In general I think you are right that a new plugin or interface extension to JOSM would solve it for most people. and maybe I'm wrong for tring to foce it to work offline (with no available internet). I use library and work machine to transfer to the OSM system. Good luck with your mappings, With kind regards, Govanus [Post]

Output: indoor and street gazettering


Input: [When] about 1 year ago [Comment] I've been using the indoor: system to Gazetteer flats in blocks either by outline separated with their corresponding layer/level data or just by entrance nodes were outlines are not clear to me yet. In basic rendering the view is generally ignored unless you have a renderer that knows how to make a building plan in various possible styles from flat to isometric. big map renderers generally gloss over and ignore these but take the data into a spreadsheet or database and it gives a good postal listing like those that Kelley's used to make. As a data user this is more useful for me than say a number range especially when I try to add office or owner data into the Gazetteer which due to it being in osm allows it to be automatically to custom maps. It also helps navigation when the dwellings aren't sequentially numbered which is actually quite common (from both alterations and odd/even splitting schemes as well as say something that tries to combine floor and unit numbers from to separate ranges. The Gazetteer form just cuts though all of this and makes it straightforward and easy to work with automatically Josm hasn't been so easy to work with for this needing a layer approach workflow to work and the online editors are very difficult to use with stacked features (think of a 40-story block of flats or halls of residence - the baseplan for most floors in the middle are likely to be very similar with most principle doors and loadbearing walls being in the same horizontal place on each one, with just layer/level/ele/height data to split them up). I have been thinking about writing a new editor to make things easier but I've had so much going on recently that I've surveyed a lot more than I've had time to add to osm lately, especially when I have to work in complex way without online editors, to get the data clear and without unwanted clashes of wrongly joined nodes. Customised units and dwellings with variant layout features are also easy to handle like this. -- In general Gazetteering is more useful for data users than large-scale mapmakers though interactive maps could highlight the important sub parts or jump into a building layer mode. I read that is increasing use of osm to work in 3D on the wiki and the like. Describing where the dentist is on the 4th floor on the northern wing corridor, with these is easy this way. = In general I am adhering to the principles elsewhere expounded in OSM that: -the information provide and stored should not restricted or specially overly tailored to a specific purpose like a certain rendering engine or flight-sim such that it less useful for other users purposes. -If you don't like the rendering, change the render settings not the data per say, -if the render can't understand the difference between things add more differentiating information to OSM and not just remove things or worse deliberately remove detail such as for ways so they "store better on system x because no one renders under [arbitrary] zoom level y"! It can be tough but it helps to make a general-purpose data set that can be used by so many people in different ways. [Post]

Output: Earned by becoming lifeguards at Phineas and Ferb's beach party. Though not seen, the title of the patch could mean that they were practicing Aquatic Safety, or it could just be they went to the beach and none of them were injured and all swam safely. Earned by the whole troop.


Input: [Episode] "Run Away Runway" [Patches] Sewing Patch [Notes]

Output: Earned by helping the boys with their fashion designs. While Isabella helped the boys with her designs, we also saw her troop standing nearby with various equipment for designing clothes.


Input: [Episode] "The Magnificent Few" [Patches] Milking Patch [Notes]

Output: Earned by Isabella after successfully learning how to milk a cow. Isabella stated that it was one of her easiest patches, saying that all you had to do was 'squeeze and pull' over and over. Since Isabella was the only Fireside Girl present, most likely she was the only girl to earn this patch.


Input: [Episode] "I Scream, You Scream" [Patches] Tonsillectomy Patch [Notes]

Output: Earned by Isabella after getting her tonsils removed. In real life, there are many Girl Scout patches they relate to just going through a brave act or tough obstacle (there is a patch for braving a house fire, for example), which is most likely where this patch's idea came from. Since Isabella is the only known Fireside Girl to have her tonsils removed, and she is the only one shown earning it, she is the only girl so far known to have gotten it.


Input: [Episode] "Get That Bigfoot Outa My Face!" [Patches] Tent Pitching Patch, Marshmallow Patch [Notes]

Output: Earned while she and her troop were at Camp Phineas and Ferb. As the names imply, the Tent Pitching Patch is earned if the whole troop is able to put up their tents successfully, and the Marshmallow Patch is earned when the girls roast marshmallows and the camp director (in this case Phineas) approves of them. Since all the girls were at Camp Phineas and Ferb, everyone in the troop earned both these patches.


Input: [Episode] "De Plane! De Plane!" [Patches] Aeronautic Patch [Notes]

Output: Earned by helping the boys build the Paper Pelican. The girls also flew in the plane and helped with catering, which is probably parts to the patch as well. All the girls earned this since all were present at the time of building and all flew in the plane.


Input: [Episode] "Let's Take a Quiz" [Patches] Broadcasting Patch [Notes]

Output: Earned by helping Phineas and Ferb produce their game show. Isabella was taught how to fix and work the camera and helped get the game show in order. Isabella is most likely the only one who earned this patch, though we see Gretchen applying makeup and Holly and Ginger Hirano were working the cameras.


Input: [Episode] "That Sinking Feeling" [Patches] Shrimp Net Repair Patch [Notes]

Output: Earned by repairing shrimp nets at the harbor, but this is never seen in the episode. Isabella mentions this to Phineas while he is on the boat at the harbor, and is with her whole troop, so all the girls earned it.


Input: [Episode] "Isabella and the Temple of Sap" [Patches] Saying A Word No One Else In The Room Knows Patch, Help Thy Neighbor Patch, Sap Collecting Patch, and I Just Saw A Cute Boy Patch [Notes]

Output: Gretchen earns the first patch by saying the word 'Sesquipedalian' in front of the other girls. Since no one else knew what it meant, she earned the patch. The Help Thy Neighbour patch is usually used as an excuse for Isabella to help Phineas with his projects, though the other girls say that they have earned the patch 50 or more times. The Sap Collecting patch was earned when Holly and Katie got the sap out of a tree. Although the 2 aforementioned girls actually got the sap, Isabella said they all earned it. The I Just Saw a Cute Boy patch is earned for just that, seeing a cute boy. However, it can be taken away if no one else agrees. This happens to Ginger Hirano a couple of times throughout the episode, where she puts on the patch whenever she sees or thinks about Baljeet. Isabella also appears to have one visible at the top of her sash during the Fireside Girl song. This is most likely referring to Phineas.


Input: [Episode] "Cheer Up Candace" [Patches] Expert Makeover Patch [Notes]

Output: Isabella has stated that she has already earned this patch, but it is unknown if the other girls have or not. Despite the fact that Isabella is a very avid cosmetologist for earning this patch, Phineas and Ferb do not enlist her help when they give Candace a make-over.


Input: [Episode] "Fireside Girl Jamboree" [Patches] Honesty Patch, Enthusiasm Patch, Senior Service Patch, Totem Pole Carving Patch, Ice Cream Juggling Patch, Mountain Climbing Patch, Running With The Bulls Patch, Running With The Bullies Patch, Discovering Something That Doesn't Exist Patch, Wrestling An Alligator In A Sewer Patch, Bug Collecting Patch, Motion Sickness Patch, Cupcake Delivery Patch, All Time Record Patch and finally 37 unknown patches [Notes]

Output: All of these patches and more were earned by Candace in order to join the Fireside Girls.


Input: [Episode] "Phineas and Ferb video game" [Patches] Tire Changing Patch [Notes]

Output: Gretchen mentioned this in the Phineas and Ferb video game, so it can be assumed that this is a real patch, despite never being mentioned on the show. If such was true, most Fireside Girls must have earned this patch, in The Fast and the Phineas.


Input: [Episode] "Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation!" [Patches] Santa's Helper Patch [Notes]

Output: Isabella had this as a gift from Santa.


Input: [Episode] "Phineas and Ferb-Busters!" [Patches] Mountain Moving Patch [Notes]

Output: Isabella tells Candace that the impossible is possible, and she and the Fireside Girls were able to do it with their teamwork.


Input: [Episode] "Robot Rodeo' [Patches] Rodeo Clown Patch [Notes]

Output: Phineas specifically asks Isabella what patches the girls still need, and Isabella goes through a list of patches. However, Isabella participates in the rodeo as a rider, not a rodeo clown.


Input: [Episode] "The Beak" [Patches] Intrepid Reporter Patch [Notes]

Output: Isabella kept asking Phineas to get an exclusive interview, but Phineas kept rejecting her because he and Ferb were too busy with their super hero double life.


Input: [Episode] "We Call it Maze" [Patches] Zookeeping Patch, Cooking Patch, Astronomy Patch, High Wire Patch [Notes]

Input: [RANK] 1 [SHOW] Treme [PREVIOUS] 3 [TREND] ↑ [COMMENT]

Output: Every vacuum must be filled when it comes to quality. And that's one of the things I love most about The Power Rankings! that gurgled up in whatever flawed stew I dreamt it up in and created for it years ago: the ability for a truly great series to sit in the third or fourth or fifth slot, waiting to rise up. There are rarely huge qualitative gaps between any of the shows in the Top 5, so moving up Treme was an easy decision (well, relatively easy). As a critic, what I like about Treme deep into its second season (the finale is this Sunday) is that I'm still thinking about it. More to the point, I'm thinking about what I actually think of it from week to week. Here's a show that has, I think, one of the least definable set of strengths that can be weighed against one another at any time. It's not like the story is great every week -- sometimes it's the music, sometimes it's the direction or the acting. Sometimes it's just -- and I'm already hating the fact that I continue to use this word about Treme -- the vibe. Eric Overmyer and David Simon clearly know what they're doing. But I think in the end, it's the fact that they can do whatever they want -- not sticking to any rules, precedent or expectation and then see what comes of it. That creates interesting, sometimes difficult television. In this episode, with its overwhelming sadness, I watched Lucia Micarelli as Annie continue her incredibly impressive voyage as an emerging actress. And I especially watched Khandi Alexander -- again -- and wondered (out loud this time) when the hell she's going to get her long-overdue Emmy. And then it pissed me off, and I watched a comedy (after finishing the episode, of course). All hail the new No. 1.

Input: [RANK] 2 [SHOW] Men of a Certain Age [PREVIOUS] 2 [TREND] ↔ [COMMENT]

Output: Sometimes I get so hung up in wondering whether Men of a Certain Age will get canceled, I forget to enjoy it. Or don't focus on that enjoyment -- which seems very MOACA of me. Now I'm wondering whether the series is looking to find that perfectly bittersweet ending to it all. (See, here we go again -- but hang in there, a point is about to emerge). Mike Royce and Ray Romano know the business well, and they are too smart to let this vastly underappreciated but excellent series wither out in some manner that's not in their control. I think they made this series because they could, because they wanted to -- not to re-create the success of Everybody Loves Raymond but to take the kind of value that goes beyond its success (you know, like the money) and use the power and freedom it gave them to create something special. Sooooo, did they dream up an ending that works as both a season and series closer -- in case of a worst-case scenario? I think so. Which makes me excited to watch the remaining episodes! See what I did there? But moving forward, I'm just embracing the goodness and hoping TNT does the right thing.

Input: [RANK] 3 [SHOW] Friday Night Lights [PREVIOUS] 4 [TREND] ↑ [COMMENT]

Output: If you were shouting "Don't go!" at the screen and not intending the emotion solely for Coach, I feel your pain at the impending loss. Pick an episode in this emotional final season (OK, maybe not the first three), and you'll realize why it has a special place. You know, up in the No. 1 slot, I was talking (or at least trying to explain) the difficulty of all the beauty in Treme and what the over-riding purpose and descriptive element might be. Not so tough with FNL. This is a show about moments. Always has been. Creating drama to set up a defining moment. And then shooting and acting the hell out of it. That's what made the episode special, and that's what made the series great. A real knack for the moment.

Input: [RANK] 4 [SHOW] Wilfred [PREVIOUS] N/A [TREND] ↔ [COMMENT]

Output: They cannot make episodes fast enough for me to devour my new favorite series. They just can't. That there's so, so much more meat on the bone here than just a guy in a crappy dog suit is, as a critic, really reassuring. But more on that in future episodes. Right now, it's the main hook -- a troubled guy sees a man in a dog suit while everyone around him sees a dog, period -- that is so deeply set inside me. I can't get enough of the simple stuff, like Wilfred circling around a few times before sitting on the couch. Or the asides about dog breath. Or Wilfred's foul mouth. So, make more. Lots more. And hurry, FX.

Input: [RANK] 5 [SHOW] Falling Skies [PREVIOUS] 5 [TREND] ↔ [COMMENT]

Output: I watched this so long ago (in my short-attention-span world) that it's easy to forget. Except that I believe the show does take steps in revealing a bigger picture while never straying from the in-the-dark-about-what's-going-on element and the characters just trying to stay alive. Mechs, skitters, cameo appearances -- hell yes. I'm all in. Not only is Falling Skies pure entertainment, but it continues to surprise on many levels. You had me at post-apocalyptic, but still. I appreciate you stretching. Now, let's blow something up.

Output: Louie isn't for everyone but should be. I came up with that and will allow FX to use it as it pleases. Because it's true, even if you have to hold people down and force them to watch while wallowing in their uncomfortableness. Oh, and it's funny. That I love Wilfred more doesn't mean I don't love you as well, just differently. Wink.

Output: When a show like this can count Nick Offerman as a recurring guest and then -- and then! -- add Thomas Lennon like it's no big deal, well you've got perhaps the best playground ever for comic actors. Lennon pretty much steals and/or improves anything he's in, so he's welcome anywhere if you ask me. And you didn't, but you should have.

Input: [RANK] 8 [SHOW] The InBetweeners [PREVIOUS] 7 [TREND] ↓ [COMMENT]

Output: Well, let's be clear and fair here. The downward arrow -- the one ranking drop -- in no way has anything to do with the episode or quality. We just went from The Magnificent Seven to The Great Eight. So deal with it, because I'm tired of talking about love. And feelings. And being all nice. Then again, I suppose that's actually the nature of these rankings. I spread my anger and bile on shows that have no possible chance of getting here, then show my sweet side here. Um, InBetweeners is a lot of things -- great, even -- but I'm not sure sweet is one of its main traits. Familiar, yes. Cross cultural in its ability to express the outrageousness, wonder and stupidity of coming of age, yes. But not so much sweet. Let's keep it that way, yeah? (I wanted to end with a sentence that was both declarative and asked a question, which I find one of the oddest tics of our fine cousins across the pond.)

Output: I'm a single mother of 2 and living in government housing. My live in fiance left me recently. We had had an agreement that we would put our money together to pay bills. I stupidly had allowed him control over the finances. Since he's left. I've discovered that instead of paying the bills, he was blowing our money, including all that I had given him for bills, on the woman he left me for. I've been struggling since then to get the bills paid back up but have now been put out of work. I'm in desperate need right now. I'm still 2 months behind on my electric bill. And if it's cut off, I will loose my government housing. If anyone can please give me assistance in this, it would be greatly appreciated. Or direct me to where I can find assistance. I've contacted every agency I know of in this area and all are out of funds at this time.

Output: I'm a single mother of a 9 and 4 yr old. I Lost my job in 2005 to Mexico. Granted they pay for me to go to school but I'm still struggling to pay the bills. On Friday my electricity will be shut off if I don't pay the bill. My bills have never been behind like they are now. About 4 months ago the kids father quit his job and stopped paying child support. Without that extra money we were getting to pay the bills I'm been trying to make $225 stretch each week. Haven't been able to buy the kids clothes or shoes like they need or been able to put enough food on the table some months I go without so my kids won't. If there is anyway anyone can help me I would be grateful not sure what else I can do. My family has no means to help me.

Output: I am a 37 year old single mother in great need of a reliable vehicle, as well as, a babysitter and job. I had moved to be near my father and step-mother as they insisted that I would make better money in MA. When I moved in with my parents, they realized how difficult it is to be a single mother and a manager of a residential agency; caring for individuals with mental/physical disabilities. As a result, my parents became frustrated and "kicked" me and my two boys (ages 14 and 1 1/2) out of their home. Due to being homeless, me and my two boys stayed in my car while I continued to work as a residential manager (having to take my two boys to work with me). Recently, my car broke down and will cost $1,800.00 to repair. Because I have struggled with finding a babysitter that I can afford as most babysitters on the South Shore charge over $200.00 weekly, I lost my job as I must be with my young son until I can find a sitter for him. Now, I have nothing. I have excellent skills. However, due to the fact that I am a single mother, I do not have any friends to rely on, and my single mother chaos chased my family away. Is there anyone out there that can assist me with affordable housing, a babysitter, and a car in MA?

Output: My name is Amy Martinez and I am a single mother of 2 girls and unemployed. Hard at looking for work. I just finished school with my BS which I am VERY proud of but we live in Elkin NC which is a very small town with not a lot of opportunity as far as good jobs. I will have no choice but to travel at least an hour to nearest bigger town like Winston Salem. I have 2 girls, one is 6 years old and I also have a 14 year old disabled daughter. She gets SSI and has severe developmental, mental, speech, learning, and some psychological disabilities, emotional behavioral issues that she suffers. It is extremely hard on me being alone with no help other than Medicaid and few food stamps. My daughter gets 563.00per month and I have rent, light, phone etc and we never have enough stamps to have food to the end of the month so as you can see, we struggle. We struggle a lot. My finishing school is a milestone that I know that God had planned for me and I finished FINALLY. It was very hard as I too suffer severe depression, and am under tremendous stress constantly from month to month worrying about tomorrow. My car is a V-8so i worry very much about even the cost of gas since obviously I will have such a commute if and when I do find work. Right now we are behind on my rent and we are very destitute and I am so very depressed don't know what to do. I have been unable to find any help especially here is such a small area. All the places I have been to or referred to only tell me that they have limited funds and this and that. I have not found one place to help us. We are very close to getting evicted and the amount that we need is 460.00 just to get caught up on the trailer/lot rent and I am so very down and frustrated. I only have internet because it was necessary for my school (most of my classes were done online) and now that I am finished with school I also am about to loose it too. I am slap broke, I mean slap broke and I cant afford to buy my daughter clothes not even from a goodwill or salvation army and you should know how cheap they are. In the name of Jesus, can you please help me? Perhaps with my rent and food? I know I am asking a lot and you do not know me but I am not being dishonest. I pray a lot that will find the right job that will provide my family with just our basic needs. I have no support as far as husband or family and I am at the end of my rope. Most days I can not even get out of bed. I am desperate and hitting one wall after another. God knows my situation and I know that someone out there can and will help. Could your organization possibly help us? Please may God touch your heart and that you may help us. This is not as cam I promise you. I can give you any information you want or need. I get a little food stamps and medicaid but I am so in need of financial help too. PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU TO HELP US. Thanks so much and may God bless you.

I never thought I would have to ask strangers for anything like this but have know other place to turn. I go to Buttonwillow Dental if you need verification. Any help would be appreciated. Some where down the line I hope I will be able to someone who needs it. Thank You
