Crispin Freeman coming to Tucson, Arizona! Nov. 12th, 2009 @ 03:17 am
[info]misaoshinomori, posting in [info]theslayers
Hello everyone, I hope this post is ok, otherwise, feel free to delete it.

There is going to be an anime convention in Tucson, Arizona on March 26-28, 2010 and one of our guests is Crispin Freeman himself!

If you happen to live in the state, or can travel, you get the chance to meet him on Saturday! It helps that this is a smaller con than the usual AX, SakuraCon, AWA, etcetera, so the chance to meet him is pretty high.

I'm the General Art Manager as well as the Artists' Alley Manager for this con. I'm planning on making a picture of Zelgadis for him (although I'll take a different approach than the usual illustration. I'll make sure to post it here once I finish it.

Anyhow, hopefully I'll see some of you there!

Coastal Maine food? Nov. 11th, 2009 @ 09:53 pm
[info]tahinaz, posting in [info]little_details
What sort of food might a roach coach/food stall in coastal Maine sell? Here in Arizona, they often sell Mexican food. Do they sell fish on the coast? During a scene where my character is walking along the beach or a wharf (haven't decided yet,) she comes across one and orders a quick meal; preferably something regional. I need to know what that might be.

Any thoughts?

Saint Peter's Basilica Nov. 11th, 2009 @ 06:58 pm
[info]sand3, posting in [info]little_details
So say you went to the Basilica at the Vatican on an ordinary weekday; there's no event, nothing special is happening, it's just some Tuesday or something. What level of clergyman would be attending the church, being there for pilgrims to go talk to, kinda being the priest-on-duty?

End of semester in first year of med school Nov. 11th, 2009 @ 01:34 pm
[info]gallo_de_pelea, posting in [info]little_details
Searched: Wikipedia pages on medical schools (US), "semester schedule medical school", "first year medical school", essay Clinical Experiences in Pre-Clinical Years, SWU's med school curriculum site (actual class material password-protected)

Setting: United States, present-day (well, 2008.)

One of my characters is in his first year of medical school. The story takes place in late spring, as the semester is drawing to a close. Due to some tl;dr circumstances, he has to leave town for a few days. After checking the time one morning, he remarks on what he'd be doing in class at that particular moment, were he still at school.

I've found summaries of first-year classes, and basic course schedules, but no real info on what particular tasks med students face during this time. (e.g., are the classes primarily lectures or do they involve dissection, are there small group projects or is it all individual work, etc.)
If it makes a difference, my character plans to go into cardiothoracic surgery.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

English to Japanese (romaji) translation needed: "Red Moon" Nov. 10th, 2009 @ 09:54 pm
[info]matrixrefugee, posting in [info]little_details
Babelfish just gave me the kanji (which is interesting, but not quite what I was looking for) and I'm only coming up with online dictionaries when I try to work my Google-fu.

I'm mapping out a cracked Twilight/Yami no Matsuei (Descendants of Darkness) fic and I decided, in a moment of evil whimsy to entitle it "Red Moon" (per the way the moon seems to turn red whenever Muraki is out and about and doing his thing; yes, the fic features Edwierd -- er, Edward crossing paths with the not-so-good doctor), but part of me decided to have the title in Japanese as well as English. Can anyone help me out here?

Symptoms of radiation exposure Nov. 10th, 2009 @ 10:18 pm
[info]pisica, posting in [info]little_details
This needs a tag of 'post-nuclear symptoms made to order'. :)

I'm working on an SF story in which there was a nuclear detonation in a universe next door. Basically, a few people are able to teleport in this universe by slipping in and out of the blast zone in the other one.

I can get lists of physical effects of radiation exposure, of course. (For instance.) What I need to know is how those symptoms would manifest in the specific scenario I've set up: these people are exposed to severe radiation in extremely short bursts, a few weeks to a few months apart, over an extended period of time. I'm particularly interested in the timescales of visible/obvious symptoms - teeth falling out, skin lesions, etc.

I'm guessing there would be some immediate effects after each teleportation, as well as greater problems established by the repeated trips, but I don't know how the overlap of those exposures would work in practice.

(I remember reading about people who deliberately race around the Chernobyl site but haven't been able to track that down. Any leads welcomed.)

Ideally I want them to be killing themselves slowly - in general, able to keep this up for a few years before they're too physically worn out to continue - but if some people die right away (or others hang on for a longer time) then that's fine as long as it's within normal limits of the effects of this pattern of exposure.

The scenario I've set out is what I'm currently working with, but if necessary, I could manipulate a) the length of time they're exposed, b) the length of time between exposures, and c) the intensity of the exposure (they might be able to shield themselves from the worst of it or be on the edge of the blast zone).

Thanks!

Name for an Indian genderswapped character Nov. 10th, 2009 @ 02:18 pm
[info]sailorptah, posting in [info]little_details
Fiddly little name question here.

I want to do something with the genderswapped version of a male character of Indian descent (present day), which means finding a female name that makes sense as an equivalent for "Aasif."

I've poked around sites like babynamer.com to find names with similar sounds, but they don't give me much of a feel for whether the names have completely different connotations, and I don't want to inadvertently pick a wallbanger. (Like how "Ethel" feels very old-fashioned, so it wouldn't be a good substitute for a modern-day character named Ethan.)

Any suggestions?

spikeolo should be a meme Nov. 11th, 2009 @ 10:13 pm
[info]a_white_rain
I've been wasting my time at Know Your Meme.

And I'm wondering, all the while laughing, what the hell created such a generation that would become the mighty force that is 4chan and eat up things like LOLcats. I mean, one could blame the rap music, but I think that leaves out the horrors that reality TV have inflicted on us. I'm not sure. I just hope a hundred years from now, history teachers will lecture their students on LOLcats.

In more important news, happy birthday to [info]ninamazing!
