Tax for quality education
By: Bridget Jones, Journal Staff Writer
Auburn residents unsure about possible measure
A proposed measure on November's gubernatorial ballot could bring in $4 million over five years for Auburn elementary schools through parcel taxes. Measure L is proposed to "preserve reading, math, and science instruction, maintain hands-on science programs, classes and labs, maintain reading and language programs for all students and attract and retain qualified teachers" in the Auburn Union School District, according to election documents. If passed, the measure would add an annual $59 tax on parcels within the school district, paid through property taxes. The tax would exist for five years. Exemptions include seniors and those on small fixed incomes. No money would go to administrators' salaries, according to election documents. An independent oversight committee would monitor how the tax money is spent, and expenditures would also be audited to make sure they fit the language of the measure, according to Douglas Crancer, assistant superintendent of business and facilities for the district. "It's all going into the classroom," Crancer said. "There is going to be account upon account (of what is done with the money), and I think that's important to have that for the community." Residents with multiple parcels would only have to pay the tax for one parcel, Crancer said. Michele Schuetz, superintendent of the Auburn Union School District, said the purpose of the measure is to keep quality programs in all subjects mentioned. The district is also hoping the money will make it possible to keep some teachers who have received layoff notices as well as hire new teachers. Schuetz the money from the tax could make it possible to pay more teachers, and open more classes, keeping student numbers low, giving teachers a better chance to offer each child the attention he or she needs. Crancer said the district is expecting the tax to bring in about $800,000 each year for five years starting in fiscal year 2011/2012. Schuetz said the measure is necessary because of the state's continuing cuts. "The state budget crisis has cut the district's funding by approximately three million dollars, which is equivalent to 16 percent of Auburn's general fund," Schuetz said. "Deep cuts have had to be made. The measure will help to provide locally controlled funding to preserve instructional programs, quality teachers and smaller class sizes." The cuts have already hurt local schools through teacher furloughs, a 14 percent pay cut for managers over two years and the closure of Alta Vista Elementary School, Crancer said. "We've already closed one school and there have been talks of closing another one, but with our enrollment that's not possible right now," Crancer said. "We've just been cut to the bare bone and we are asking for the community's help." Schuetz said although the district has a plan for the money gained through the possible tax, a list of necessary supplies for school programs would be left up to school sites. The district also can't give an approximate number of how many current teachers would be spared from layoffs or how many new teachers would be hired until future enrollment numbers are known. Rob Haswell, an Auburn resident with two children who attend Skyridge Elementary School, said he supports the measure because Auburn will suffer without the kind of education local schools are known for. "Every year the state has been cutting more and more education funds," Haswell said. "It gets to the point where you have to look at, can you cut any more and still have quality public education?" Haswell, who was the president of the parent/teacher cooperative at Skyridge for a couple of years, said he realized during his time in the position that organizations like the cooperative were not going to be able to raise enough funds for everything the district needed. Auburn resident Dan Sokol said he doesn't like the idea of a parcel tax, because each property pays the same tax even though property values might be very different. "I would be opposed both as an individual and a voting member of the League of Placer County Taxpayers," Sokol said. Auburn resident Therese Johnson, who has two grandsons attending Auburn Elementary School, said she wants to be sure the money will actually help the district rather than just being told it will. "I would like to know more than hoping," Johnson said. "I would like some guarantees. It's very pie in the sky, there's nothing concrete there. It's very vague language. I think they should be looking for other resources rather than burdening the taxpayers." Auburn resident Deanna Richardson said she would like to see the result of the funds if the measure does pass. "I just feel generally if we know the money is going to the schools, that's not very much (to pay)," Richardson said. "We pay taxes and we support all the stuff we support with our taxes, but we never see the money getting used." Shannon Breckenridge, the parent representative for Skyridge on the district's budget committee, said she knows firsthand the cuts the district has experienced and hopes this measure can prevent the district's budget from dropping to negative numbers, forcing the state to take over. "If this parcel tax can help us avoid that, I think that alone is an important consideration," Breckenridge said. Schuetz said the district is available to answer questions residents might have about the possible tax. "If community members are unsure, we encourage them to ask questions," she said. "We will have a committee of people to answer questions and clarify any misconceptions." Reach Bridget Jones at firstname.lastname@example.com

I bought a new iPod Nano, and I am needing a way to listen to it in the car. I also would prefer it charge it at the same time because it will remain in my car almost all the time. I found several that connect using the headphone jack, but they don't have a lot of good reviews and most do not charge the iPod. I don't have an a cassette player in my vehicle so that kind is out. My old iPod I bought a Transdock Micro (I think it was actually for the Zune, but it was worked with my old iPod for around 8 years now). I thought about ordering one of those because they are $6.00 on Amazon then I can buy the adapter for the lightening to 30 pin connector.
You will need to contact the car manufacturer to determine if it's compatible with your iPod Nano model. Why won't my iPod play through my iPod speakers or car kit? Connecting iPod to your home or car stereo

Hi northeaster,
Would you mind sharing with us the outcome of your call to the apple care team? I am now concern that my problem might continue with the new replacement that is on its way.
I wonder if by now AppleCare knows if this is a software or a hardware issue.

Hi there,
I picked up my new iPhone 5 (white, 16gb) in Oslo, Norway today, and have the exact problem that you are having.
Connected it to my new ASUS RT-AC66U router with standard settings, which is WPA2/AES.
All my other wireless devices worked like a charm, but the iPhone 5 lost connection after a couple of seconds.
What to do...

I tried the trick with setting a static ip-adress for the iPhone, but it didn't make any difference.
Worked for max a half of a minute, then the network connection fails.
Way to go Apple...

I was having the same problem as you on my iPhone 5. Id be able to connect to my wireless network (wifi n) with a WPA2 AES security setup and internet would work for 5 seconds or so. After that I couldnt load any web pages but the wifi would stay connected. I went to the apple store and they reinstalled the firmware. I went home and it still didnt work. I went to general/reset/reset network settings. Still didnt work. Tried taking off WPA2 (then reset network settings) and internet WORKED! It apparent was having trouble with the WPA2 security. I went to the apple store again and was given a new iPhone 5. Went home, worked no problem.
Bottom line: Get a new iphone 5. If you have the same symptoms as me, you have a hardware issue and you need a replacement phone.
Good luck fellas.

I got my replacement iPhone5 in the middle of this past week. Same specs: 64gb and black. The Genius Bar guy put my old SIM into the new phone, so I have the same phone #.
I actually tested the replacement in the store, and it (as was the case with the previous phone) worked over the store's wi-fi hotspots. (In fact, I d/led s/w from iCloud at fast speeds!)
I then went to a nearby Barnes and Noble to shop for magazines, etc. I turned on the new phone, and it immediately picked up and connected to the store's AT&T hotspot. I even sent a Panorama photo via Twitter from inside the B&N using that hotspot.
I brought the phone home, annnddddd I still have the same exact problem. The wireless security key doesn't log me into my home network. (shrugs)

I actually tried to return my phone earlier at the store where I got my replacement but they couldn't take it back. Wasted more than an hour at the store. They told me to call applecare so I spoke to apple care. They didn't have anything to offer other than try to troubleshoot. I have already tried everything -I am a techie geek. Apple care mentioned I need to return it in a store. So I will return the phone tomorrow at another store. Didn't realize returning apple products was such a hassle.
This seems to be an incident with just some phones and being a few in millions apple is not so bothered about those customers. We have decided to return the phone and cancel.
Original phone - Production week 38. Factory F2
Replaced phone - Production week 36. Factory DN
Droppping my rating from 4 stars to 3 stars and cannot recommend anybody to buy the iphone 5 yet.

I have had my GPS 11 for a few years and finally decided to do some astrophotography. I got a heavy duty wedge and a piggybacked st80 for autoguiding. I have not had the chance to take it out yet due to weather. Is the black heavy duty tripod really that unstable with the wedge? I really don't want to spend money on a new tripod.

The process known as Microsoft Windows Search Filter Host belongs to software Microsoft Windows Operating System or Windows Search or Microsoft Windows Search Filter Host by Microsoft (www.microsoft.com).
Description: SearchFilterHost.exe is an important part of Windows, but often causes problems. SearchFilterHost.exe is located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
Known file sizes on Windows 10/8/7/XP are 87,552 bytes (30% of all occurrences), 86,528 bytes and 11 more variants.
The program has no visible window. The SearchFilterHost.exe file is a trustworthy file from Microsoft. Therefore the technical security rating is 10% dangerous, however you should also read the user reviews.
Recommended: Identify SearchFilterHost.exe related errors
If SearchFilterHost.exe is located in a subfolder of C:\Windows, the security rating is 19% dangerous. The file size is 87,552 bytes (90% of all occurrences) or 113,664 bytes. The program has no visible window. SearchFilterHost.exe is a trustworthy file from Microsoft. The file is not a Windows core file.
Important: Some malware disguises itself as SearchFilterHost.exe, particularly when not located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder. Therefore, you should check the SearchFilterHost.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.

A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with SearchFilterHost. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using cleanmgr and sfc /scannow, uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using msconfig) and enabling Windows' Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or, for Windows 8 and later versions, executing the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.

December 13, 2012 | Vol. 116 -- No. 34
League play for the Medical Lake boys' basketball team begins next Tuesday so ready or not here comes Northeast A play.
"We kind of set up our schedule to mirror who we would play," head coach Arnold Brown said. "It's kind of working out OK," as his Cardinals are 2-2 through games from last week. They played at Colville this past Tuesday in their final tune-up contest before their league debut at Kettle Falls Dec. 18.
The Cardinals split their games last week, beating Reardan 31-18 Tuesday before falling at Deer Park 66-50.
Adam Paulson had a game-high 12 points and was the only player in the contest to hit for double figures. Dominick Harvey-Mitchell had 10 rebounds for the Cardinals who shutout the Indians 12-0 in the first quarter and led 16-11 at the half.
At Deer Park the Cardinals fell behind 34-22 in the first half and could never catch up. "They jumped on us early and they just got rolling," Brown said. "We woke up a little too late."
Austin Garza scored 14 points and Paulson 13 against the Stags. Caleb Guske had a game-high 18 points for the winners. "At Deer Park, we beat 'em at our place and go on the road and don't get it done," Brown said.
Brown said his team has been competitive in every game, except Okanogan, "and obviously Deer Park which was our first road game," he said. "Okanogan is probably one of those playoff-type teams that we're not ready for at this point."

Jules Stewart interviewPosted in SharonSpeak on June 16th, 2015 by Sharon Feinstein
I am aware that Ms Jules Stewart has stated that her interview with me has been used out of context, that she never discussed her daughter or her daughter's relationship. That is simply incorrect.I have reported the story as discussed and memorialized during our lengthly and cordial formal interview, which took place on Thursday 11th June. I am disappointed and saddened by her statements to the contrary This was a very positive story and one told by a loving parent. Any statements to the contrary are simply not supported and not true.
I really liked Jules Stewart even though she doesn't like the interview.Posted in SharonSpeak on June 15th, 2015 by Sharon Feinstein

No films, no commitments, and not even the excitement of his daughter Athiya's film debut - Suniel Shetty has put aside his work and priorities for the sake of his father, who is unwell.
To make sure his father is comfortable, Suniel has even converted an entire flank of his home in South Mumbai into an ICU.
"I haven't had a proper night's sleep for three months now. It's a very mixed kind of feeling for me. On the one hand my daughter Aathiya is getting ready for her film career. On the other hand my father is very unwell," said Suniel.
Athiya has left to shoot for her debut film "Hero" with Suraj Pancholi in Manali.
"The excitement of Aathiya's debut is sadly diminished. At the moment we're all focusing on looking after my father," said Suniel.
His father's frail health is the reason why Suniel was away from the Celebrity Cricket League matches.
Suniel is aghast about the stories that he had an on-field fracas with Aftab Shivdasani.
"How can I 'come to blows' with anyone, least of all a guy as sweet and gentle as Aftab? It is very embarrassing to read such stories, specially at a time when I am going through a personal crisis. Right now nothing is more important to me than my father's health," he said.
Suniel is in fact saying no to movie offers.
"There will be many opportunities for work later. The time spent with my father now is much more vital and valuable," he said.
He is not the least perturbed about his daughter's shooting schedules outside Mumbai.
"I know she's in completely safe hands. Salman Khan's production crew is like family to us. They look after both Aathiya and Sooraj like their own children," he said.

So, I realize that everyone has heard of Mary Sue characters, but the thing that bothers me is that Mary has never really been as clarified as she could be. Girls go around crying Mary Sue at every character with long pink hair, then go and create even worse Mary Sue characters in the false illusion that they're making nonMary Sue characters (or even anti-Sues) when in fact they're doing the opposite. Allow me to explain how this seems to happen.
First of all the term "Mary Sue" desperately needs to be clarified to these people, so this brings us to the very important question: What IS a Mary Sue?
At least everyone can agree on one thing. Mary Sues are characters that are so perfect it's annoying.
But. What do they mean by perfect? Everyone has different ideas of that, naturally. Unfortunately, this is how many fanfiction (and other) writers make their biggest mistakes.
When you hear the name Mary Sue what pops up in your mind? A beautiful princess who gets everything she wants, has magical powers and is loved by all the other characters around them? Is that really perfect to you?
Are you sure that in your heart you wouldn't rather be the mysterious emo that everyone else dislikes and is seriously misunderstood or the tough butt-kicking karate girl with short hair? These kind of characters can just as easily be Mary Sues as the girly girl Mary Sues that writers seem to be under the impression are the only ones.
"But my character has faults!" some might point out. Granted, this may be true, but your idea of perfect might in fact include these faults.
A common example of a Mary Sue fault that isn't really a fault is that they get into trouble because they are too caring or too nice to everyone. Well. . . This is an obviously stupid way to go about giving your character faults, BUT it's definitely not the only stupid way. You see, many people only pretend to give their characters "faults" by giving them something supposedly bad that they actually think of positively. Someone who thinks it's cool and funny to be sarcastic might make their Mary Sue character sarcastic, thus making them even closer to their personal definition of perfect.
Heck, if the author thinks shooting a gun off in an orphanage is a good thing and makes their character do it, then their character is STILL a Mary Sue, so long as it's portrayed as good (whatever "good" means. More on that soon).
Why do we hate Mary? While some of the writers might hate her because they hate girly girls in general (and labor under the impression that only girly girl characters are Mary Sues) true authors find her degrading not just because of her (usually) corny looks, background or history. Oh, no. That's the least of the problems with Mary Sue. We hate her, because she can do no wrong.
Mary Sue cannot do anything wrong. Sure, she can trip over a rock if it's funny and cute or maybe even accidentally press a button that blows up a city if it adds to the plot (naively assuming there is a plot). But she can't do anything that makes her a bad person. She cannot do anything morally wrong. At least, (and this is the most disgusting part) what's morally wrong according to the author.
"Ah, so as long as I make Mary do something unchristian she isn't a Mary Sue?"
No. Remember, this is perfect according to you. Even if you use the words "morally wrong" we all know that you're not thinking of it that way. You're not thinking, "This is the part of the story where Mary Sue makes a mistake that the audience knows is wrong and doesn't want her to do!" Give me a break. You're thinking, "This is the part of the story that makes Mary Sue more deep and mysterious and interesting!"
Also, it doesn't help that a lot of people skate over describing Mary Sue as sweaty, smelly, fat or anything like that even when it would be the realistic thing to do. Still, I'm not saying that just because you did use one of those words you're character isn't a Mary Sue either.
Mary can be your own twisted, lame or just plain pathetic idea of perfect.
Everything she does is your type of perfect. Basically reading about a Mary Sue regardless of what person's type of perfect she is feels like reading "BE LIKE ME, BE LIKE ME, BE LIKE ME," which is both tedious and insulting.
Then there are the "self-insert Mary Sues." There is nothing wrong with inserting yourself into a story. However, when people do this, they tend to make themselves seem (admit it) cooler than they really are. This could be by focusing on or emphasizing the (in some cases exaggerated) most interesting things about themself (which sometimes even leads to them getting big-headed and sometimes even believing they're really this mysterious, great person in real life). No wonder the phrases "self-insert" and "Mary Sue" usually go together.
How can you possibly try to portray yourself this way and not get a Mary Sue?
I guess, what I'm really trying to say, is that "perfect" is a very very very broad word to use as a definition for Mary Sue and if that's the definition you're going to use, don't you dare turn a blind eye to your own Mary Sues just because they don't fall in line with someone else's idea of perfect.
It doesn't matter whether they have long, flowing pink hair, special abilities, or who they fall in love with (it doesn't even matter if the author personally believes they ARE perfect). It doesn't matter if they're a tomboy full of flaws either. A Mary Sue is a character who is plainly, mercilessly and unfairly worshiped by the author (directly or indirectly, usually indirectly or even unintentionally so watch out). It's in the portrayal. What could be a Mary Sue in one author's hands could be a perfectly reasonable character in another's.
Real people could take a so-called "Mary Sue test" and score as a Sue. What then? Is the person unrealistic? Perfect? Not at all! How then do so many "self-inserts" get labeled as Sues? Because of how they are PORTRAYED.
How can stereotypical perfect characters in cartoons be bearable? Because the cartoonist is not worshiping them; they are making fun of them.
Mary Sues are not so much characters who are "so perfect that they are annoying" but characters that authors worship. "Perfect" is merely a differing opinion among everyone in the world. So Mary Sues are types of characters *portrayed* as perfect.
One could even go on to say that "perfect" isn't the only thing characters can be unfairly portrayed as. Instead of perfect, maybe evil, mysterious, deep, interesting, random, tough, or funny. It all comes down to how much the author is forcing their opinion on the audience (by doing so, they are either worshiping their character or a view of their character that we may or may not share, in an obnoxious and unfair way).
(I do have to admit at least, it seems that negative opinions are generally more tolerable than positive ones. Everyone loves to hate, but nobody likes a goody two-shoes, and calling a character out every so often can be good for a story).
One could go even FURTHER to say that not only characters can be unfairly portrayed, but THINGS in your story as well. Emotions, objects, lyrics, perhaps even the plot... The list is quite infinite.
One way to avoid doing this is to show and not tell (not even show AND tell. Worry about showing). Be fair. It's almost as simple as that: keep your opinions out of it.
While super-strong, beautiful, all-holy princesses can be corny and obnoxious that's not always the stuff Sues are made of and certainly not the only.
Many people who claim they hate "Mary Sues" actually just hate girly girls. Most of these people tend to be girls themselves, who are bitter at the stereotype and mistake it for Mary Sue or vice versa.
Others mistakenly believe that Mary Sues are girls who don't fight for themselves or rely on men. Regardless of whether that's stupid or not, it's NOT what Mary Sue means. One of these characters wouldn't be a Sue if the author portrayed them as an idiot. They would be however, if you were supposed to look up to them.
Yes, that's right: stereotype Sues made to make fun of Sues are contradictions, for Sues never make fun of themselves.
Also, Sues are not "characters who are underdeveloped." That is simply a bad character. Underdevelopment and Mary Sue characters, while they tend to go hand in hand, are not the same thing, and the absence of one doesn't necessarily mean the absence of the other.
When all is said and done, perhaps what we need to realize is that Mary Sue isn't a type of character, but a type of attitude.
Oh, and you know all of that goes for Gary Stus too, even though I used Mary Sue as the example instead of the less heard of male-version, right?
Is she Mary Sue? by MakingFunOfStuffWatch
I'd LOVE to hear your feedback on this. Long comments are especially welcome!!
Proud Mary Sue hater forever!
EDIT: Another thing I thought of... It seems like Mary Sues boil down to the problem of narcissism especially since many people think of their Mary Sue characters as themselves (or something they want to be). I saw this stamp [link] and I highly recommend thinking about the point behind it. It falls into the same category as the whole Mary Sue/self-obsessed culture that there seems to so much of today. This is a rather excellent stamp as well [link]
Just for fun I'm gonna make a list of the most common types of Sues:
The "crazy psychopathic murderers"
The "sexy, butt-kicking ones that no one can get the better of" [link]
The "Random, crazy, hyper onez" (99% of the time being "random" really means being cliche).
The "depressed, deep, dark emo/goth/same-difference-always-dresses-in-black type"
The "warm/caring/friendly/a-million other adjectives that no one pays attention to" aka no personality kind.
For further cliches [link]
Fun fact: there is never, I repeat NEVER a need to state a character's breast-size. The end.
(In other words, avoid making things up out of narcissism and/or lust. It's unprofessional and lame).
I made a separate deviation on self inserts for more clarification: [link]
Mary Sues are characters that warp characters/things around them to compliment an unfair image. Just because the image is usually "perfect" doesn't mean having a perfect character is bad in itself. Look at the episode of SpongeBob that he was "normal" (perfect). It was funny instead of unfair, so nobody minded.
Look all pretty men/women in our world, they go missing, raped, killed for their beauty. When when people make oc, using that as a flaw..it can work. I am tossing that out there since that is an over used..claimed to be sue trait.
But if done right that is great flaw.
Most "x reader" fanfics are female x male pairings, with the reader being female.
In order to appeal to the audience and to clumsily paste it all together into what they see as ideal, fanfiction authors will often make the reader a chick version of the male (especially in Levi x reader stories - it bugs me to no end). As I've had to learn, in order to write decent fanfiction, you must first forget all about those fantasies. In real life, chances are you will not fall for a person who's an exact copy of you - otherwise it'd be pretty dull, right? You also have to first take the character's nature into account - would they really be attracted to that? There can be multiple personalities for readers, sure. After all, the character is merely fictional - you've no way of talking to them, let alone get to personally know them. And it varies on the character. But I dunno, I just feel like that's a less-noticed type of Mary Sue.
2.How can I portray Mary Sue as comedy, but not as main character?
Think of the episode of SpongeBob when he turns perfect (normal). He is perfect in a sarcastic way. It feels like the authors are on our side; we are not told to respect him more than others because he is "perfect." Try to avoid setting up a biased tone for respect. I believe if a character has something about them that is worth respecting, it is more powerful if not pointed out. And if it's made fun of, that is yet another thing. However, the one thing that will always make you look like a fool is if you expect your readers to take you overly seriously.
Hope that's helpful.
First, she's already gotten a head start on the souls needed to become a death scythe (fifty out of the 99), and has a stronger wavelength because of her parents (her dad is a death scythe). My friend also made her "perfectly symmetrical" so she could pair her up with Death the Kid.
And out of the blue, she also said that she wanted to make her part shinigami (beyond dangerous mary-sue territory).
It concerns me because she's old enough to know better, but I also didn't want to hurt her feelings.
just think about it : she's not only the prettiest girl in school,but she's a also the best female duelist and the smartest girl in school,every male character has a crush on her,she rarely ever loses,she has an unrealistically perfect body (big breasts,small waist,nice curves - this is the figure the every mary sue has) and all of her duel monsters are pretty cyber females with revealing outfits,humanoid appearance and big breasts (ex : etoile cyber,cyber blader,cyber prima,blade skater,cyber tutu,etc)
Your writing skills are impressive.
One way that "Mary Sue" types always stand out to me is if they steal the spotlight on a constant basis.
Yes, the main character (if there is one) should get more attention than the minors. However, a balance is still needful. Every character should get a little time in the spotlight, even if it's only a short turn.
The spotlight thing is usually what separates readable fan-fiction (you know, the type that actually has a plot and keeps all of the canon characters mostly "in character") from vapid nonsense.
Also, as you mentioned, the "show don't tell" part is crucial. Show the characters to the audience, and let them think what they will.
I saw a forum signature you might also appreciate: "I am willing to suspend my disbelief, but not hang it by the neck until dead."
Haha, that's a great quote.
I really enjoy reading your essays. They're short, simple and make their points well.
I believe that Mary Sue is a character that the *author* thinks is so perfect that the character does not have to do anything but show how perfect they are for the entire story. The character does not need to change--- because she's perfect! She doesn't need to grow--- because she's perfect! The same can apply to characters that are purposefully given so many flaws it's unbelievable, such as the depressed emo. The emo does not have to overcome any of her faults! She's totally awesome being her depressed, lonely self throughout the *whole* story! This Sue-author will beat me over the head with her precious character until I 'get' how perfect she is, even if she isn't perfect but flawed. This author treats her flaws/struggles as endearing qualities and doesn't let me form my own opinion. Thus something that is supposed to be a flaw or challenge the character becomes something the author thinks is (or portrays as) a positive point. Like you said so well here:
"You see, many people only pretend to give their characters "faults" by giving them something supposedly bad that they actually think of positively."
When I see a Mary Sue of course I start to dislike the story. Not because of the Mary Sue. But because of the story itself. The story does nothing for me. It doesn't go anywhere. I'm stuck in a loop of perfection with a character I don't like--- I don't like perfect characters, and I don't like perfection either.
"(naively assuming there is a plot)"
There is rarely, if ever, a plot in a Mary Sue story. The author thinks that once their OC is done, 99% of the work is done. XD Yeah, because coming up with a plot takes only 1% effort....lol, NOT.
There is one point you made I'd disagree with, unless I am totally misunderstanding you, and that is this line:
"One way to avoid doing this is to show and not tell (not even show AND tell. Worry about showing). Be fair. It's almost as simple as that: keep your opinions out of it."
I agree with keeping my opinions out of it, but if I only did showing in my original novel, it would be a million pages long. In order to keep pace while I'm writing my novel, I have to do both showing and telling. I show the things that are important, the things that add to character or plot, and sometimes I even show things like setting when I feel it plays an important role.
But there are many occasions when I find it most appropriate to tell instead of show. Let's say my character needs to run down the street to the house on the end. The running down the street is not all that important, it's what happens when she gets to that house that is important. Now, I could pointlessly describe every step she takes and what she feels while she's running, or I could sum it up in one sentence: "She ran down the street to the house on the corner." (which is telling) and save the showing for more important moments in the story.
A better example would be that I could easily get away with (or even prefer) 'telling' what happened to a character during her day rather than showing it all when it wasn't important (aka summarizing):
"I spent most of the day at school slumped over my journal and doodling. On the way home, I stopped and got a coffee.
When I came to the front door of my apartment, I noticed it was open just a crack. Heart fluttering, I just stood there staring. It was dark inside there, and the first thing that came to mind was not Oh my God! but Did any snow get on the carpet? I don't want any mold!"
Ahem. Maybe not the best sample of my writing ability ;_: but I kind of forced it out just for this comment, lol. As you can see, the first two sentences are 'telling' or 'summarizing' what happened during her boring day, while the next sentences go back to 'showing' or 'being in the moment' because something interesting has come up.
Err...now that I've written that wall of text I'm wondering if I misunderstood you. Maybe you were referring to only doing showing when it comes to portraying to the main character? If that's the case, I agree with you. My main character did not introduce herself by stating her personality. The first chapter shows her personality in what she does and thinks. There's a bit of telling in the second chapter, where she simply mentions that she is diagnosed with a disorder. But it is done as a part of a longer introspection that, with her constant worry and doubt, only proves that she does indeed have this disorder. The small bit of telling was done to make a point.
no no no
ash is just a lucky idiot
RED is the Gary stu
At least, I think that's what you're getting at. Otherwise I'd be questioning my own characters. A case of it's all in the execution, not the concept, I suppose?
The only criticism I can give is that your language gets a bit convoluted at times; I've spent a minute eyeing the sentence "stereotype Sues made to make fun of Sues are contradictions for Sues never make fun of themselves," and
On another note, in your artist's comments, at "there is never, I repeat NEVER a need to state a character's breast-size," I just about died of laughter. So true X'D
First of all, it's a major mistake to consider a Mary Sue to be a type of character. In truth, it's rather a specific situation. That's why so many people get totally side-tracked when trying to define a Sue: they keep looking at the characters themselves. While certain character traits and archetypes do correlate with Mary Sues, the true reason lies with the author and their motivation.
Second thing is, the situation itself. You said it yourself, you just forgot to put a fullstop. A Mary Sue happens whenever an author wishes to impose his/her impression of a character onto the reader. Basically, the individual impressions of the reader don't matter. A Mary Sue is presented in a way the author believes her to be, and leaves no leeway for the reader to judge the character on their own.
That's exactly where things get tricky. A lot of authors do manipulate the image and presentation of various characters, often highlighting or exaggerating various traits. The thin line that separates these characters from genuine Mary Sues is whether the author can leave things just as a presentation, and then wink at the audience: "Well, that's all she wrote. So, what do you think? What's your verdict? Do you buy it?". A Mary Sue writer skips that last step. S/he knows better. S/he knows not only how s/he wants to present the characters, but also how the poor devil is supposed to be percieved. S/he has a list of all the correct adjectives that the reader has to use when describing the character, and s/he won't take a "no" for an answer.
These don't have to be any specific types of traits, the image doesn't have to be positive, and a Mary Sue doesn't have to be a girl. The essence is in making the assessment of the character for the readers, presenting this assessment as a fact and shoving it down the reader's throat. It doesn't apply if the descriptions or narrations are provided from a specific character's point of view, rather than author's own (an opinion of a single person is not a fact, it's an opinion. We're still free to disagree). This makes the line between a Sue and non-Sue so thin and hard to notice, and gets a lot of characters accursed of being Sues just because someone in the story presents them in a very positive light.
At the same time, some authors are able to stretch the line in the opposite direction by creating exaggerated, over-the-top characters that are presented in a detached, impersonal manner. I remember once finding a discussion on whether Alucard from manga Hellsing was a Mary Sue. It ended with someone stating: "Alucard is not a character, he's a plot device". It shows pretty well how much a Mary Sue depends on the presenation core. Even an indestructible and seemingly almighty monster-on-a-rampage of a character can still be loved by the audience- as long as the readers are allowed to discover just how indestructible and seemingly almighty the character is on their own.
Third, it's not the character themself that we find so annoying. It's being robbed of our right to make up our mind about them. It's the feeling that the author tries to force their feelings and beliefs onto us. What we really hate is not the characters, but the situation itself.
Well, that's all I wrote So, what do you think? What's the verdict? Do you buy it?
Even with the examples I already gave, my personal favourite is Roland Deschain of Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series. The man has every single trait of a genuine Mary Sue: almost supernatural skills, unreasonable strength of character, is always- always- right and can get any other character in the story, no matter the gender, to fall in love with him unconditionally (to different ends, true, but still). Yet, all of these make him impressive rather than annoying. The reason? Stephen King himself seems to consider his over-powered character friggin' scary rather than amazing. Because of that, he never tries to convince the audience that Roland is the most amazing guy they ever read about. He just describes him with a healthy, "what-the-Hell-is-this-man?" attitude. The audience is free to buy Roland for themselves.
It all seems to boil down to an old good rule: 'Show, don't tell'. As long as you're presenting the positive traits of your characters instead of claiming s/he's got them, everything will be alright. People love strong, capable characters. It's something that never changed across millenia, even if you look back at Illiad, Oddysey, ancient Asian epics or old Viking tales. The whole trick is to show your audience that the character is strong, about providing believable proofs to that. When an author sounds so desperate to convince us how awesome their character is that they don't want to leave us any choice... It's only natural we start to suspect a hoax.
Frankly speaking, I find Hunger Games pretty bland in general. Most of the characters, Katniss included, feel more like plot devices than genuine people to me: I can't see their feelings, motivations, wishes and thoughts beyond the basic, surface ones that push the story onwards at the moment :/ Katniss definitely got saved from the Mary Sue label, but I feel it happened at quite a big cost. The whole story could use a little more of a human touch. Besides, it's not that it's not okay for the author to like their characters. It only becomes a problem when s/he thinks s/he's got a monopoly on telling people what their character is really like.
As far as the negative opinions go... Did you ever see a villain who is so pointlessly evil it just makes your eyes roll? One that tries to put Darth Vader out of the pedestal of the arch-villain of all times by killing babies, burning whole towns for no reason at all, executing his underlings for being in a bad mood and generally acting like his whole existence is based around proving what a horrible debased person he is?
Yup, that's a Mary Sue too. Actually, I think it's the most common type of a Mary Sue in all fiction together. The basics are the same: The author thinks s/he's got a better idea than you do as to what to think about the character, and shoves it down your throat to the point where you just find it lame.
Portraying the character's views is all about just showing what they think, and why. The only trick is to leave your own mindset aside for a while and to imagine what your character would think in this or that situation. You're not trying to talk to the reader, to convince them of anything. You're not presenting a positive, a negative or a neutral point. You're just showing the truth. "This is what this character thinks. This is what s/he said. And given his/her personality, it makes sense." The author just needs to remember they're not the part of the story. The characters are. The author's job is to give a solid, objective relation on what the characters themselves see, think, feel, say and do. And whether the readers will agree? It's up to them. After all, the characters are merely presenting opinions, not a "one-and-only-truth". Whether they can convince the readers- that's another story. And that's what makes reading fun.
Your messages are a bit mixed, I see that it's not just perfect princesses who are mary-sues, but just annoying characters on the whole, but...? Should no-one acknologe their power? Should they not have friends? Should they always have apperance/personality flaws like being fat, smelly, ugly, annoying, bitchy, mean, vile, cruel, ect...? I mean, if characters are meant to be at least loosely based on real people, I know for a fact at least some of them have these traits, some of them really are quite nice. I'm not trying to be rude or mean or anything of the sort, your tutorial really is top-notch and something that needs to be on DA, but you just seem to be repeating the same message over and over, but basically all you're really saying is "Don't make bad characters," over and over. I understant that you're getting the message across that it's not the perfect princesses and humbly amazing schoolgirls that are Mary Sues, but it turns out more of an preach against Sues rather than anything that actually teaches you what you need to know.
I mean, even if the character is fat, smelly, obnoxious, bitchy, immoral and such, if her behavior still makes the badass canon character behave like a total wuss, then that character is a Sue. If that character surpasses the canon characters in their special fields (for example, manages to tame an animal not even the animal-loving and animal-loved canon character could handle) or steals their script, then that character is a Sue.
Some people tend to think giving flaws to a character is enough to save her from the Mary-Sue land, except it's a trap; the point isn't to give flaws for the sake of it, but to create a realistic character and be careful about how the people around her react. Even in real life there are people who are fairly good and some other who are simply terrible, except even if they're saints, they still do wrong stuff and take bad decisions, make mistakes and have strive in order to improve. They're still insecure and have their fears and their thoughts that make them human.
Damn, this has taken the wind out of my sails as a writer. ):
As someone who creates bios for OCs for fanfictions (almost as much as I write them into stories, I enjoy writing the bios), this fear always scares me to death that I'm somehow writing a character who inevitably will be a Mary-Sue despite my efforts not to have her be one. Then, I find myself overcompensating for writing her into existence by changing a million things in an attempt to "un-sue" them, I end up changing them so much that I no longer write them or enjoy using them anymore. Then I abandon them. It seems the term itself lends a complex of discouragement to writers like me.
I do understand your deviation and I find many of the points to be valid, if not all of them. I do hate characters that lack dimensions or seem to be too perfect with no explanations.
I will say this: I wonder, is it ever truly possible to write characters the author doesn't sympathize with? Or feel is perfect to some degree? For some reason, I don't really feel like that is possible.

I'm gonna be honest. I can't make heads or tails of this thing, so I can't tell what I think of the pic. If someone could point out like one thing for me, that would help.
fhking sexy.
incredible.. and i dont think ive ever said that.
keep it up.
keep it up.
Sick shit, man. Great piece. Really feelin' it.

Excellent atmosphere. Pure forms.

Very moody colours. I love the crispness as well. Great piece.
This is very nice. I'm not sure the technique, but it's quite attractive.
gorgeous form
Was that purely painted, or did you add in stuff from a 3d program as well?
It looks sooooo awesome!!!
It looks sooooo awesome!!!

no one ever likes my "typo", or font choice. i think thats why i'll continue to use it
Oh, and I don't find anything wrong with the font choice. When I mean typo I meant that the overall presentation of that and the area it sits on. I think removing the line below it would tidy things up nicely.
Seems pointlessly defiant. Oh well... if you like it then fair enough.
i total love this.. damn original
Great work, I like the colors and the shapes very much. Excellent typo, too. Keep it up
The aesthetics are fantastic Chris.
That's sweet. It's bleeding, right?? Great abstraction
wonderful, as i told you
Oh wow, that's lovely.

The Hitler Mistakes
- Sean Chick (Formerly Paul O'Sullivan)(gittes)United States
New Orleans
LouisianaWell, I'm afraid it'll have to wait. Whatever it was, I'm sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman round here?
The most easy answer to the question of Nazi defeat is to blame Hitler, since he ran the war and strategic defeats must rest at the commander-in-chief's door. Yet Hitler did have many positive qualities as a commander. He had a strong mastery of the technical aspects of war and like many great generals he was a gambler who did not shy away from innovate tactics or technology. However, as the war dragged on his mind rotted and fell into insanity. Many of the psychological reasons for this rot are evident in his youth. Even when living as a vagrant in Vienna he was arrogant, confident without reason, delusional, and could not admit when he had failed. These qualities feed off each other and by war's end Hitler was incapable of forming a reasonable strategy.
However, to solely blame Hitler would be wrong, for he had a lot of help in defeat. As David Irving noted in his controversial work Hitler's War many generals, in an effort to distance themselves from Nazism and defeat, said Hitler ignored all of their brilliant suggestions and they had no idea of the horrific atrocities being committed. Over the years evidence as come against this rosy and one sided view of German military leadership during the war. Any historian worth his salt will not support the claims of von Manstein, von Runstedt, Guderian, and others who said they were not Nazis and if only Hitler had listened... Well as A War to be Won points out if Germany had done better then the atomic bomb would have been used on the fatherland. This seems to have escaped the attention of the generals who survived. As it is we'll never know what Rommel, Model, von Kluge, and von Bock thought or how they would have defended themselves.
The effort of this list is to open a discussion about Hitler's mistakes. Which were crucial, which were mostly his fault, which are more to be blamed on others, and more importantly to show how he was not alone in his blundering. It is an effort to understand why Nazi Germany lost a war in spite of her own strengths and the amazing victories she gained in the early war period. The list is not a reflection of what I see as Hitler's big mistakes, but rather the ones I have run across in my reading with my commentary added. While I've read many books on the war A War to be Won, June 1944, Russia's War, The War of the World, Inside the Third Reich, The American Way of War, and Hitler's War have particularly affected my thinking on this topic. I also read some of Guderian and Donitz's memoirs and even some personal thinking on the ideas of Clausewitz, Napoleon, and Sun Tzu have helped me form my opinions.
I am knowledgeable about World War II, but no expert and I invite any comments about mistakes I have made. Please notify me via comment if you think I missed one and I'll add it if I agree with you.

Stuckey helps Pistons get best of Warriors in return to lineup
DUANE BURLESON / AP Enlarge
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Rodney Stuckey wasn't thinking about redemption Sunday night.
He might have gotten some anyway.
Stuckey finished a tumultuous five-day stretch with 21 points and nine assists to help the Detroit Pistons beat the Golden State Warriors 102-97.
Stuckey's problems started early in the second half of Wednesday's loss in Atlanta. After he ignored coach John Kuester, he was benched for the rest of the game.
He remained on the sidelines for Friday's win over Charlotte — Detroit's first victory of the season — but was back in the starting lineup against Golden State.
"That doesn't matter now — this was just another game," Stuckey said. "The only thing on my mind tonight was to go out there and do my job."
Kuester agreed that the situation belonged in the past.
"It's done," he said. "We've moved on."
The win gave the Pistons two in a row as they head into a four-game, six-day road trip.
"When you are going to the West Coast, it is always important to have a good performance in your last home game," Kuester said. "I'm not sure this was beautiful basketball tonight, but we got another win, and two in a row feels good when we are heading west."
Golden State, which hasn't lost in four home games, is now 0-2 on the road.
Richard Hamilton, who came off the bench against Charlotte after missing two games with a foot injury, finished with 27 points after moving back into the starting lineup.
"I knew Rip had been struggling a little, but I wasn't worried," Stuckey said. "Rip's a shooter, and he's going to go out there and shoot each and every game. We all knew he was going to get it going."
Charlie Villanueva added 16 points and 10 rebounds off the bench for Detroit.
