Clarion Brazil Nut Fail?
Nick Mamatas links to a blog-post from the Clarion West writers workshop in the US. Stereotypical Behavior is a post from a Clarion attendee who has written a story that, during a critique session, met with some opposition.
While we focus on international SF, the on-going discussion on race in the US context is important to follow, and this episode should be of general interest to our readers:
Before heading to Seattle, I promised I would challenge myself by trying new subjects, playing with different styles, things like that. Having never successfully written a military science fiction story before, I threw my hat into the ring and pounded one out. Crack military strike unit, tough, capable, fighting in a near future scenario where the tech and political situation were close enough to where we are now that we could see the story from here. I fully expected it to be a rough, crunchy draft. I'm not a military expert, I don't know squat about weapons or tech, but I had a few informed aces up my sleeve and I managed to crank out a piece that was a challenge to write, gritty and, I hoped, realistic. More than anything else, I wanted to learn from the experience.
One of the characters was a large black man. Who carried a big gun. He had a hyena thunder laugh. And liked to eat brazil nuts. His nickname was slang for brazil nuts. And I used said nickname in the second sentence.
You see where this is going, don't you? I didn't. My writer's vision was fuzzy, and I failed to realize that to some people, a cigar is more than just a cigar. – read the rest of the post.
If you're not familiar with the American slang for brazil nuts, just click on the link.
So what do you think? Comments welcome, as always.

At first, I wasn't sure how slang for Brazil nuts could be offensive then I clicked the explanatory link and all was revealed. How sheltered is this author that they didn't realize that the phrase they chose was offensive as hell?

Yikes. Saw it. Still didn't believe my eyes.
Oh good lord…
Comment by Joyce | July 11, 2010
Yes. Not sure how anyone could not have worked out for herself that the term is highly offensive (and to echo Nick Mamatas, in this case, undoubtedly unearned.)
BTW, since the blogger is in Seattle, she is attending Clarion West, not Clarion (happening concurrently in San Diego).
Comment by John Chu | July 11, 2010
A bad writer. The funniest bit is that she just had to blog about it too. The Internet sucks sometimes.
Comment by rreugen | July 12, 2010
My whole family's been Army, and if you guys think this is insanely wrong, you're just unfamiliar with how real men in the Army talk. They deal in a world of high stress, fatigue, blood, bone, tears and sweat. They're conditioned to kill other human beings and obscenities and slang is ALWAYS used. You guys are a bunch of niggling wilted violets if you think "Nigger" has never been used in the Army.
So, have any of you actually been in the Service?
Comment by Sgt. Lee | July 14, 2010
I've got no trouble believing that real soldiers talk like this. If the writer was relaying a non-fiction story about a real guy called Nigger Toes by his buddies, I wouldn't have an issue with her use of the term. I'd wonder about a bunch of guys calling someone they consider a friend by such a name but hey, the real world is a strange place that doesn't have to make sense.
But for a writer to name a character Nigger Toes and take that story to a critique session and then claim that they didn't realize the name would be offensive? I call bullshit on that hot mess.
Comment by dunmurderin | July 15, 2010
I have a family that's been in the military too. Like the above, I can absolutely believe stuff like that happens. I've read novels, and watched movies and plays, where such words were used in an appropriate context that made them feel both organic to the story and true to life. I can still hate the word and not hate every book/movie/play where it's used.
The issue lies with the authors claim to be "unable to understand racism" and therefore have no idea that anyone in the audience would be offended! It's either incredibly disingenuous, or strikingly clueless. She has in this, and other posts, displayed a shockingly low level of understanding context, which suggests to me the word was not properly framed (that she included cliche/stereotype descriptors for the same character probably did not help). It all implies poor writing, *at best*. You cannot use a loaded word and not expect a reaction from it. Worse, though, is that when the reaction came, she describes the people in such hysterics as to paint her as some victim. A victim for reactions a reasonable person would have anticipated. And *that* is why people have a hard time feeling sympathetic for this woman.
Comment by Lynn | July 20, 2010
Of course you are right, Sgt. Lee. Nobody says that soldiers (or fishermen, or garbage cleaners, or maids, or pheasant hunters, or landowners, etc etc etc) do not curse. Sure they do, just like every person shits and pisses, for example.
So, there is a lot of shit, piss, AND obscene behavior in the world.
An artist is required to create Enlightenment and Catharsis, not MORE shit, piss and obscenity.
And it is possible to do it even using slang, or specific language, but you need talent and craft for it. Some have it, some don't. This is all, and it is a discussion about writers and their failings, not about soldiers and their manner of behaving.

JSC KazMunaiGas Exploration Production held its regular Board of Directors ("the Board") meeting. Among the major decisions the Board approved the 2014 budgetand business plan for the period of 2014-2018.
In the first eleven months of 2013 production at Ozenmunaigas (OMG) increased by 5% compared with the corresponding period of 2012. However, having considered all factors, the Board approved a new production plan at OMG for 2014 at 5.35 million tonnes (108kbopd). Embamunaigas (EMG) production plan for 2014 was kept at 2.8 million tonnes (57kbopd). The revision of production profile at OMG reflects the lower production levels during the preceding three years, including 2011 when production was hit by labour strikes at Ozenmunaigas.
By 2018 KMG EP anticipates increasing production at OMG and EMG by 3%, including an increase by 5% to 5.57 million tonnes at OMG.

Family, I love living with other people. Even when they infringe on my space, or hog the washer and dryer, or take the last cookie in the jar, or forget to let the dogs out, or leave without emptying the dishwasher, take too long a shower, leave their lunch on the counter for me to run it to school for them, or take my cotton balls and eye liner without asking or telling me it was the last one..
Thinking that I should have some cookies made for the kids when they come home, I got out the Tupperware container that holds the chocolate chips, confectioner's sugar, and other cookie baking additions. There was a sale on peanut butter chips the yesterday, so I picked up a bag, got home and put it where it belonged...in the Tupperware container up in the cupboard.

The Spanish Empire is the collective territories, colonies, and Viceroyalties of the Kingdom of Spain spread across the Globe. It emerged in the Age of Discovery and became the Foremost Global power as well as one of the first, under the rule of the Spanish Habsburgs.
Following a period known as the Reconquista in which the various Hispanic kingdoms retook the peninsula from the Muslims, The main kingdoms manages to centralize power to a degree allowing for the eventual unification of the kingdoms into a single contiguous entity.
Following this and the voyages of Christopher Columbus to the Americas, Spain had officially pushed the point of unification to reality and began a period of heavy exploration which ended in the colonization of the Caribbean and various landing all throughout the nearby mainland.
Contact with the Aztecs
The Spanish under Hernan Cortez first dealt with the Aztecs in 1518 coming over from Cuba on an expedition. By 1519 following some setbacks and other advances he had managed to secure the Immediate Veracruz areas and some other territories.
However the Aztecs with better tactics and some minor technological advancements from the Vinns almost 15 years earlier prevented the full conquest of the Aztecs as territory further north proved to be death traps for Spanish troops and this developed into a Sort of Cold war.
More to come, just currently a sort of placeholder to get stuff down.

An arithmetic average is the sum of a series of numbers divided by the count of that series of numbers.
If you were asked to find the class (arithmetic) average of test scores, you would simply add up all the test scores of the students, and then divide that sum by the number of students. For example, if five students took an exam and their scores were 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100%, the arithmetic class average would be 80%.
This would be calculated as: (60% + 70% + 80% + 90% + 100%) ÷ 5 = 80%.
The reason you use an arithmetic average for test scores is that each test score is an independent event. If one student happens to perform poorly on the exam, the next student's chances of doing poor (or well) on the exam isn't affected. In other words, each student's score is independent of the other students' scores. However, there are some instances, particularly in the world of finance, where an arithmetic mean is not an appropriate method for calculating an average.
Consider your investment returns, for example. Suppose you have invested your savings in the stock market for five years. If your portfolio returns each year were 90%, 10%, 20%, 30% and -90%, what would your average return be during this period? Well, taking the simple arithmetic average, you would get an answer of 12%. Not too shabby, you might think.
However, when it comes to annual investment returns, the numbers are not independent of each other. If you lose a ton of money one year, you have that much less capital to generate returns during the following years, and vice versa. Because of this reality, we need to calculate the geometric average of your investment returns in order to get an accurate measurement of what your actual average annual return over the five-year period is.
To do this, we simply add one to each number (to avoid any problems with negative percentages). Then, multiply all the numbers together, and raise their product to the power of one divided by the count of the numbers in the series. And you're finished - just don't forget to subtract one from the result!
That's quite a mouthful, but on paper it's actually not that complex. Returning to our example, let's calculate the geometric average: Our returns were 90%, 10%, 20%, 30% and -90%, so we plug them into the formula as:
This equals a geometric average annual return of -20.08%. That's a heck of a lot worse than the 12% arithmetic average we calculated earlier, and unfortunately it's also the number that represents reality in this case.
It may seem confusing as to why geometric average returns are more accurate than arithmetic average returns, but look at it this way: if you lose 100% of your capital in one year, you don't have any hope of making a return on it during the next year. In other words, investment returns are not independent of each other, so they require a geometric average to represent their mean.

The Empire of Japan is the Worlds oldest continuously existing nation tracing its routes back to 660bc. It has existed in its current form since the 1890's and the reign of Emperor Meji who established the supremacy of the Emperor and the Diet over the Shogun. Japan was isolated for nearly six hundred years prior to the 1850's but since the end of its isolationism quickly established itself as being equal to the western powers, Indeed even to this day Japan is the only Permanent member of the League of Nations high council that's ethnic group is not primarily made up of Europeans. It is the closest ally of the Anglo-Dutch Union and has been a member of the North Seas Alliance since its foundation.
Japan's alliance with the Union helped spark the most devastating conflicts of the century, In 1905 during the Russo-Japanese war Russian warships fired on British trawlers. The Union Parliament which had been relucant to act previously now seized the war with both hands and sparked WWI, a conflict that saw Japanese control of Korea ensured by force of Arms and the United States agree to the demands over the control of the Philippines. Japan was also involved in the second world war where it faced a hostile China and Russia across the Korean border. A series of successful attacks saw Japan emerge as the undisputed master of the western pacific, especially now that the Union had committed itself to no further activity's east of Singapore. Conflict with the Isolationist USA threatened to drag the world to the brink of Nuclear destruction but both sides avoided full blown conflict, the issue only being resolved by Japan siding with Beatrix against the USA in the Civil War.

77 - 86 Final
Jefferson helps Jazz beat BlazersFeb 2, 2013 - 6:37 AM
Paul Millsap contributed 15 points, Randy Foye 14 and DeMarre Carroll 13 for Utah, which raced out to a big first-half lead and won for the seventh time in its last nine contests.
These team will meet again Saturday in Portland.
"We know they're going to come out with a lot of energy and they're going to play hard to try and get a win on their home court," Jazz forward Derrick Favors said about Saturday's game. "We have got to come out with the same mentality."
Rookie Damian Lillard, who played college ball at Weber State, scored 26 for Portland. LaMarcus Aldridge ended with 16 points and 10 rebounds.
Trail Blazers guard Wesley Matthews was helped off the court in the third quarter with a severely sprained right ankle. Matthews isn't expected to play in the rematch Saturday night in Portland.
Matthews was driving to the basket when he slipped and turned his ankle before tumbling to the court with 4:13 left in the period. He immediately grabbed for his ankle and was later assisted off the court by teammates J.J. Hickson and Jared Jeffries.
Matthews was later taken to the Utah locker room via wheelchair for x-rays, which turned up negative.
Foye's 1-of-2 performance at the foul line capped 11 straight points for the Jazz to take them to a 25-17 lead with under a minute left in the first quarter.
Utah dominated the second quarter from the aspect of its shooting. The Jazz went 12-of-17 from the floor in the period and surged to a 51-36 halftime lead.
Carroll's layup moved the hosts to a 38-23 cushion midway through the period, and the lead reached as high as 17.
The double-digit margin remained throughout the third quarter with a 73-61 difference going to the fourth.
Aldridge's successful bank shot finished a 9-0 run to cut the margin to 78-72 with 5:28 left, and then Lillard buried a 3-pointer for an 80-75 contest with 3:57 to go.
Lillard had a chance to bring the Blazers closer, but another 3-point try was off the mark. Utah scored the next six points to seal the outcome. The Jazz held the Blazers without a point from the 3:57 mark until Will Barton's bucket with 16 seconds left.
"We fought so hard to get back I think we ran out of gas," said Lillard. "It was more of us putting ourselves in that position, so we have to do a better job of playing four quarters."
Game Notes
Blazers guard Ronnie Price turned his right ankle late in the fourth quarter after being bumped into by Foye ... Utah guard Earl Watson departed midway through the fourth quarter with right leg soreness ... The Jazz, who are 17-5 at home this season, swept all four games with Portland last season.

Beyond the Milky Way
Historically, galaxies have been categorized according to their
apparent shape (usually referred to as their visual morphology). A
common form is the elliptical galaxy, which has an ellipse-shaped light profile. Spiral galaxies are disk-shaped assemblages with dusty, curving arms. Galaxies with irregular or unusual shapes are known as irregular galaxies,
and typically result from disruption by the gravitational pull of
neighboring galaxies. Such interactions between nearby galaxies, which
may ultimately result in galaxies merging, may induce episodes of
significantly increased star formation, producing what is called a starburst galaxy. Small galaxies that lack a coherent structure could also be referred to as irregular galaxies.

This is so pretty! It looks like the water is reflecting the starry night sky above, whilst haruka is just lying there with his dolphin amigos, totally casual. Haha lovely work ^^
Aww, thanks so much! I'm glad that you liked it!!
This is fun, refreshing and adorable (those dolphins~)! Nicely done!
Aww thank you! I wanted to try to draw something that captures a mood. Which is something that I find a little hard, you know, trying to make work that doesn't look generic. That's why this work is my favorite I've done so far! <3<3

text: I'm finally back after a good 11 week break. I cannot believe that I spent nearly 3 months away from my baby (Deep Fried Brain), whom you could not separate from me for more than 3 hours. Did you think that I dropped my baby and walked away? Well if you did, you couldn't be blamed because I neglected my beloved baby so badly. Neither did I feed it nor did I tuck it into the blanket and kiss it good night everyday, like I used to do earlier. I haven't published a new blog post since Sep 3. On top of that, I wasn't keeping up with the comments and emails. So why such apathy toward something I'm so passionate about?

Gerald, or Geraldine, is a tranvestite who gets thrown out of his marital home after his wife finds his women's clothes and suspects him of having an affair. His kink is embraced by new landlady and lover Monica, who also, becomes embroiled in the world of cross dressing.
When the wife of pallid American stockbroker Gerald (Pasdar) unexpectedly arrives back home in London from the States to find their flat littered with an assortment of stockings and suspenders, she naturally assumes he's been having an affair. "Whoever she is, she's got terrible taste," she whines, before kicking him out.
Taking a room as lodger to newly divorced Monica (Walters), Gerald then strikes up a friendship with his landlady, eventually revealing himself to be a transvestite masquerading under the wildly inventive moniker Geraldine. Initially Monica doesn't understand the concept - "Is it hormones? Are you gay" - but after a period of moderately amusing adjustment in which she tries to cure her lodger-lover with hypnotism, the pair are soon swapping wardrobes and visiting transvestite haunts as she actively encourages him to step out during the day.
A ridiculous sub-plot regarding Gerald's boss' xenophobic response to a Japanese investment firm serves only as a tedious diversion while the sub-sitcom level humour - pancakes sticking to the ceiling, a fellow lodger's accounts of his exploits finding short cuts around the M25 - undermines even the reasonably humorous notion of putting Pasdar in a dress.
While cross-dressing in the movies has a fine pedigree - Tootsie, Some Like It Hot - this misguided attempt to explore transvestism is an embarrassing non-starter. Neither camp enough to entertain nor straight enough to educate, this adaptation of Monica Jay's autobiographical tale is, much like dear Gerald, confused and uneasy about its identity.

The "no-diet diet" lingo may sound trendy, but the idea has been around for decades.
So I picked up a lot of the lingo from sitting and listening to them.
To use the lingo he used, it would be a medical "procedural."
The men had all sorts of lingo and acronyms that they used to review the services of the women they procured erotic services from.
She may be disappointed about the false appropriation of such Twilight lingo.
It is not often that one finds a rough-rider and ex-cowboy who is able to tackle a don in his own lingo.
There is no end of 'paddies' along this river, and I'm sure they cannot understand your lingo.
In the lingo of the street, he knows "where he is at," and the measure of security afforded him.
You don't know anything about his lingo; but what odds is that?
Elsewhere the constant presence either of semi-poetic phraseology or of some kind of "lingo" was almost fatal.
"foreign speech," 1650s, possibly a corrupt form of lingua franca (q.v.), or from Provençal lingo "language, tongue," from Old Provençal lenga, from Latin lingua "tongue" (see lingual).

Just what is the world coming to?
First, coastal lawsuit mastermind John Barry teamed up with my proudly conservative colleague Quin Hillyer, a harsh critic of Barry's attempt to force oil and gas companies to compensate his former agency, the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority- East, for environmental damage caused by their operations. The two recently penned a joint op-ed piece on this very page proposing a levy on oil and gas processed in and transported through the region's endangered marshlands.
Then Thursday, a pair of letters to the editor scrambled the usual alliances once more.
First, former state Department of Health and Hospitals Secretary David Hood openly endorsed one of Gov. Bobby Jindal's favorite rhetorical targets, President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act. The law has become an all-purpose scapegoat for rising premium rates, Hood wrote, but rates had risen annually, often by double-digit percentages, before the ACA took effect. The ACA now regulates increases and mandates that 80 percent of premium dollars be spent on health care, not overhead, he pointed out.
"Consumers are better off because of those provisions, though some states like Louisiana have not allowed the law's full benefits to be implemented," he wrote.
Hood, of course, isn't just any former DHH secretary. He was Jindal's deputy when the governor held the post under Mike Foster and then replaced him in the top job. His public support for the ACA isn't new, but in the past, he's focused much of his attention on lobbying the Legislature and the Jindal administration to accept the law's Medicaid expansion, which would insure about 240,000 mostly working poor Louisianans.
His letter went further. Hood called for a complete re-examination of the law. Yes, some premiums have risen because of the ACA, he wrote, but that's because it "sets standards for the new exchanges aimed at protecting consumers and covering basic care, rather than being merely profit-driven." (The Obama administration did a poor job explaining this in the first place and, instead, acted on the clearly faulty assumption that everyone wanted and understood the new standards.)
Hood also pointed to a troubling side effect of all the vitriol.
"In Louisiana, as across the country, greater numbers of people enrolled in the health insurance exchange than had been expected. But many of the uninsured did not, no doubt because of negative media coverage and the lack of support by state officials," Hood wrote. "Given that Louisiana has the third-highest rate of uninsured people in the nation, and that we rate 49th in poor health outcomes, we should support 'Obamacare,' not fight it."
If Hood's an unlikely adversary for the governor, Jindal can take comfort in having found an equally unexpected, albeit situational, ally. Hood's letter was accompanied by another submission lauding the governor for standing up for free speech for teachers. It came from none other than Marjorie Esman, executive director of the ACLU, an organization that has sharply criticized Jindal for supporting policies limiting access to abortion and even sued him for signing a bill prohibiting sex offenders from using social media sites.
But the ACLU is all for Jindal's endorsement of the right to criticize the Common Core state education standards, an issue that arose after teachers at a school in Rapides Parish were reportedly told not to voice their concerns on social media.
"The right to engage in public comment on matters of public concern is fundamental to a free democracy," Esman wrote. "Facebook and other forms of social media are simply modern vehicles for expressing opinions. They are, in a sense, the contemporary version of billboards and leaflets."
The person who's remained entirely predictable through all this, of course, is Jindal. Like his over-the-top efforts to stop the oil and gas lawsuit — including his refusal to reappoint Barry to the flood authority — the governor's rejection of the Medicaid expansion plays right to what he sees as his political base. So does his newfound hatred of Common Core, a program he once supported.
In fact, Jindal's executive order supporting anti-Common Core teachers comes off as just one part of his ongoing crusade to publicize opposition, not part of some grand constitutional crusade. Because, let's face it — when Jindal invokes the First Amendment, it's generally in the service of some other political agenda, like when he defended the right of "Duck Dynasty" patriarch Phil Robertson to make hateful remarks about gay people.
The fact is that there's nothing like an opinion from a surprising source to make you rethink your ideas. It would actually be nice if Jindal surprised us every now and then.

Adjust vertical spacing between radio button fieldsAsked by SpiceVillage on May 23, 2014 at 03:39 AM
I have various radio button input fields. Some fields have only a few options while others are pretty long. I need to have a way of arranging them nicely. Pls refer to attached screenshot to see what I need to get done.

Hope this helps.
Do get back to us if you have any questions.
Thank you!
Thanks. Will try it out. My forms all have 2 columns. So I'll need some kind of code that I can apply to all my forms so that each radio or checkbox field has equal vertical spacing between each other. I don't want them aligned with the field next to it, because then, I'll always end up with unequal gaps above & below. It seems the problem is always with the left column. But I may be wrong.
Pls take a look at this form: formID=41422438320444. I cannot possibly adjust the individual vertical spacings for every form. I've got dozens to do.
This took a little bit of finagling to figure out. The key here is to use a CSS " !Important " property which overrides the initial CSS values to allow you to seat the field blocks where you need them.

(go ahead and clone it back into your account if you want)
Example CSS Code:
#id_79{margin-top: -150px !important;
Hi KadeJM, sorry, but both your links aren't working. :(
