How NOT to use your hard-earned government security clearance April 1, 2015Posted by Jill (@bonnjill) in Business practices, Random musings.

According to this news article, a Japanese translation company under contract with the Nuclear Regulation Authority has apparently leaked an internal, classified document online from the nuclear watchdog. The document does not contain confidential information but is marked "Classified 2," one of three levels of classification by the government. The company sent the document, without password protection, to a job applicant and solicited translators who would double-check its translations via a private-sector online bulletin board.
News flash: anything marked Classified should not be put online. The agency I work with uses a password-protected FTP site for downloading and uploading files. I had to get my security clearance verified before I could even look at the files to see if I would be a good fit for the job.
Companies don't seem to realize that if you are doing any kind of government work you really can't use cloud-based translation tools, cloud storage or any other number of new innovations. Microsoft 365 will never be used by this translator for that very reason! It's just too risky. My security clearance is too valuable to even risk it. My laptop is encrypted. I do not use cloud-based tools. My government-related files are kept on my hard drive and deleted within the prescribed 90 days. And I'm just a lowly translator!
I know we joke about translation agencies sending files to numerous potential translators, but there is a foundation for these jokes. Why would agencies risk their valuable government contracts? Let this be a wake-up call to the industry. Shaking my head this morning.
P.S. Unfortunately this is NOT an April Fools joke. Thanks to Rina Ne'eman of Hebrew Translations for sharing this on Facebook.

I don't normally accept guest posts, but I am making an exception for this one. This needs to be heard and discussed.
Guest post by Terena Bell of In Every Language.
Maybe people really don't care. That's what I thought this morning as I got out of bed and read today's news on my cell phone. Maybe people don't care, maybe they don't want a better world, maybe there are no rewards for the good or punishment for the bad.
I've written in my MultiLingual Magazine column before about how American culture is trending so that people no longer want to spend money at businesses where they find the owner's behavior deplorable. Well, I'm writing this blog to say that I was wrong. Or at least I was wrong about how or when this particular macrotrend would affect our industry.
See, there's this little thing going on right now — maybe you've heard of it — Crain's New York is calling it the TransPerfect Storm. I've got to admit, the title's catchy. For those of you who haven't seen the press, Liz Elting and Philip Shawe, co-owners of translation giant TransPerfect, are going at it in the courts, in the office, in the breakroom — pretty much everywhere these two can find a place to disagree, according to Crain's, they're doing it. And it's not just Crain's reporting the story either. It's The New York Post and The New York Daily News, too. And when The Daily News – which let's face it, is pretty much a fancy tabloid – starts covering the story you know it's salacious.
According to Crain's, the two owners "are suing each other for malfeasance and mismanagement, and each wants the other thrown out of the company. The parties have asked a judge to break the deadlock, and a hearing is scheduled for Nov. 18." The translation industry will be watching today's results with bated breath.
See, here's the thing: Many in the translation industry have thought for years that Elting and Shawe are not what most people would call good people. Multiple media reports of Elting kicking Shawe with her heels and pouring coffee on him during work, all the media reports of the f-you emails back and forth, filing restraining orders against the other, all these reports of what – if true – is clearly unprofessional, childish behavior, well juicy as the news maybe, it's not a surprise to many who work in translation for a living.
In October of 2013, the blog TranslationEthics.com called TransPerfect a "sweatshop" because of the well below standard rates it pays its translators. As far back as 2011, a different blog, TransPerfect Translation Concerns, reported, "It's only a matter of time [before] a hungry investigative reporter will has burst the … TransPerfect PR bubble [sic], and release some less than glowing information." Well, that time is now.
So here's my question, and here's what has me writing a blog entry before breakfast: Do clients even care? Court documents for the case claim Fortune 100 clients have either threatened to pull or have already pulled over $20 million worth of work. But there's a big difference between threatening to yank your business and actually doing it. In the sales meetings I've been in with current TransPerfect customers, the topic hasn't even come up. As a TransPerfect competitor, I haven't had a single client come to me saying, "Oh my, their ethics are horrible, they're just not good people." Have you?
You don't become the kind of person who would assault your ex-fiance at work overnight. Nor do you develop so much hate for someone overnight that you would sue them in open court to the detriment of your own business. No. If the press is revealing who the owners of TransPerfect are, if this scandal is revealing the way they live their lives, then they have been the people they are for quite some time. Any client kickback now is simply because the world finally sees Elting and Shawe for who they apparently are. But where is the kickback really?
Maybe I'm wrong. What do you think? Will TransPerfect actually lose business because of this? Will clients actually leave? Do translation customers really care what kind of people they're buying from?

My impressions of the 2014 ATA Conference November 10, 2014Posted by Jill (@bonnjill) in ATA, Business practices.
8 comments
I got back from the ATA Conference last night. I wanted to jot down my thoughts before I drown in the translations that await me in the next few weeks. I drove this year, so I had six hours to ruminate on the conference when I wasn't talking to people on my phone to stay awake. My eyes started seriously crossing about half an hour from home.
I thoroughly enjoyed the conference. Once again, there were a ton of people I wish I had been able to spend more time with. I made sure I never ate alone and took the time to talk to the people I could. I even closed down the bar on Saturday, which is something I haven't done in probably four years. I simply made catching up with the people I care about my priority this year.
One highlight of the conference for me was skipping out on a morning session and spending an hour in Julius Meinl with two German colleagues – one I knew well and one I had just met. We enjoyed our Melange (one espresso shot served in a large coffee cup topped with steamed milk and milk foam) and chatted about the industry, our work, politics and various other topics. I also got to savor the most authentic Apfelstrudel I have eaten in the U.S. The crust was as paper-thin as the ones I enjoyed in Austria when I lived there. It was worth blowing the diet for!
My panel presentation with Sandra Alboum, Terena Bell and Ted Wozniak, Why Won't You Work For Me, was another highlight for me. I think Terena's idea of getting rid of the table (or as she called it "the barriers") was an excellent idea that set the tone of the entire presentation. Our focus was on making contact at conferences, because Sandra and Terena have both attended the conference looking to hire translators and not been able to make those connections. We wanted to discuss the possible stumbling blocks and offer concrete suggestions to enable agencies and translators to work together. The two main take-aways (I hope) are find a way to make yourself stand out and be memorable and make your interactions a bit more personal. Don't simply just walk up to someone at a booth, hand them your business card and walk away. Talk with them a bit, tell them who you are and what you do and ask for their card as well. And then follow up by sending an email referring to the conversation. You will get a better response with "I saw this article and thought you might be interested in it based on our discussion at the 2014 ATA Conference" than "Attached please find my resume. I look forward to hearing from you." We have had wonderful feedback from everyone in attendance and hope to present this again with a more moderated (and longer) format to get through all of the points we wanted to discuss before opening it up to questions and discussion with the floor.
I attended several sessions that were very good (including ergonomics, HIPAA and one in my language pair on marketing translation); however, my absolutely favorite session was Joe McClinton's Untangling German Legalese: Talkin' Like The Supremes. He not only clearly explained the differences between the various "Supreme Courts" in Germany and shared lots of terminology, but he showed us how he breaks down complicated sentences and citations. It reassured me to find out my terminology is identical to his – even down to the usage of parentheses in citations instead of translating all the Absatz, Paragraph, Satz/Halbsatz stuff that Germans so love to cite.
The Freelance Juggling Act: Tips for Living the Life You Want panel discussion with Eve Bodeaux, Corinne McKay, Marianne Reiner and Andrew Morris was entertaining and was a great way to start the conference. Andrew's idea of a work-life balance of 85% work and 15% life made me feel much better about my choice to favor work over life most of the time. It is still a good idea to ensure you have some free time and down time, because I personally know two excellent translators who have burnt out. So work-life balance is very important. You can find a lot of good background info and Ted talks on the subject at Eve's website.
There were so many excellent sessions on offer that I had to make tough choices and miss some excellent presentations. As a result, I ordered the eConference recordings. I look forward to revisiting Joe's presentation as well as watching lots of others that I really wanted to attend but missed (such as Trisha Kovacic-Young's Translating for the Insurance Industry, Judy Jenner's Quote This, Sanne LeGier's Navigating the International Payment Jungle, and Riccardo Schiffiano's presentation on XBench – just to name a few!).
The hotel was centrally located, and I was able to enjoy wonderful meals with colleagues and friends. From deep dish pizza and stuffed spinach bread at Lou Malnati's while staying Tuesday night with my newbie last year and now good friend Joe, soup and salad at Howells & Hood, the German Language Division dinner at Bar Toma, dinner with eight good friends on Saturday night at Quay to the most amazing ramen at The Slurping Turtle, each meal was enjoyable and memorable. Chicago definitely has lots of culinary things to offer! Not to mention the hotel bar's Old Fashioned Apple Pie Moonshine. I drank many of these with various colleagues. I am going back soon.
There were so many people I wish I had had time to catch up with. I always wish the conference was longer, but each time I am happy it is over when it is because I am exhausted. The conference was – as always – a total rush and a huge motivation. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did.
The only downer was my friend being pickpocketed on Friday night. Her wallet was in the coat pocket over her right breast that she was wearing while we were waiting to go to dinner in the hotel bar. They/he/she were definitely pros. They somehow knew exactly which pocket to pick, and her credit card and debit cards were maxed out within 30 minutes to the tune of almost $8000, leaving her without her cards, but also without her driver's license, insurance cards, or cash. She was understandably upset and left a day early. No one noticed anything untoward and they knew exactly how to wipe out the cards before anyone could do anything. My tweet prompted Starwood Hotel headquarters to get involved, and I am very impressed with how they responded. But the fact remains that when we are at the conference we may feel very insular, but the hotel is a public place that anyone can enter. Attendees must remain vigilant of their belongings at all times. It also made me aware that I shouldn't carry everything together and should only take the bare minimum with me at all times.
Nevertheless, I have a wonderful memory of the conference. My body is sore, my feet ache, and I went to bed early and slept really well last night. I look forward to doing it again next year. I just hope they bring back the massage chairs! See you in Miami in November 2015!
In case you missed it, here are some highlights of the conference (featuring, among other people, my newbie last year Joe, who was a Buddy this year). Derek Platt did a great job recording the conference for posterity and editing it into a coherent and entertaining video. Jost's fish joke alone makes the video worth watching!
Dropbox vs. Spideroak July 19, 2014Posted by Jill (@bonnjill) in Business practices, Tech tips.

I share this with no commentary whatsoever, but it's worth noting. I don't ever keep client files on Dropbox or on a cloud-based server, but I know some people do. Whether you believe Snowden is full of crap or knows what he is talking about, it is still worth some consideration.
A remarkable moment from last night's remarkable Snowden video from the Guardian.
In a discussion (around the 7:40 mark) of zero-knowledge systems whose operators can't spy on you even if they want to, Snowden reminds us that Dropbox is an NSA surveillance target cited in the original Prism leaks, and that the company has since added Condoleeza Rice, "probably the most anti-privacy official we can imagine," to its Board of Directors.
He contrasts Dropbox with its competitor, Spideroak, whose system is structured so that it can't betray you, even if Condi Rice wanted it to.
Guest post – Dear Translator: Please pay your taxes! June 2, 2014Posted by Jill (@bonnjill) in Business practices, Random musings.
4 comments
Hello, all:
I started as a translator and interpreter and now run an agency based in Arlington that serves nonprofits and mission-driven organizations exclusively.
Today I received a rather thick envelope from the IRS. Apparently, a translator who I used fairly frequently between 2005 and 2010 and for whom I submitted 1099-MISCs, had not paid some (or all) of his taxes and the IRS was approaching all those companies who had sent him work in order to levy his earnings.
This translator owed around $40,000 in taxes, but the IRS is not to be messed with: penalties added another $60,000 onto the total and he now needed to pay back over $100,000.
The IRS wanted to know if I had any pending payments for him, and if so, I had to send that money their way, and not to him.
However, here is the most alarming thing: THIS TRANSLATOR PASSED AWAY A YEAR AGO.
His estate probably has no money, and the IRS wants theirs, so they're probably hoping that there are some monies still owed him that they could take. I don't know, and I'm certainly not a tax professional, but that's what I assume is happening.
Moral of the story?
Please, translators, PAY YOUR TAXES. Pay ALL of them. Pay them PROMPTLY. Don't try any funny stuff. The IRS *will* get you (or your heirs), even after you're deceased.
Thanks for listening!

Thought of the day April 18, 2014Posted by Jill (@bonnjill) in Business practices.

I read this on Tumblr and thought it was so fitting to our profession as well. It is originally from the Zibbet forum (Zibbet is kind of like Etsy – it's a site for artists to sell their handmade works) and was written by user Sweet2Spicy (Elsie) on January 20, 2014:
A customer wanted to purchase a beautiful Wire Wrap Bracelet and spotted an artist who did absolutely amazing work, but she charged a good price too. The customer thought that the artist's price was way too high so she approached the artist and in quite a brisk fashion stated "I want to buy a Bracelet from you, but I think you charge too much." The artist was a little taken aback but replied, "Ok, how much do you think I should charge?" The customer replied "I think you should charge "X" much, because the wire will cost this much, and the clasp this much, and the cabochon this much. I even factored in the price of your pliers."
The final price the customer had calculated was a lot cheaper than the artist's original price, but she said "Ok, deal. You will get your goods in a week". The customer was very pleased with herself and can't resist telling all her friends what a fabulous deal she has negotiated and how smart she is, and that in a week she will have her gorgeous bracelet.
A week later her parcel arrives in a lovely packaged box. She opens it and inside is Wire, a Clasp, a Cabochon, and 2 sets of Pliers. Angrily she contacts the artist asking "How could you do this to me? I asked you for a Bracelet and you sent me a box of Wire, a Clasp, a Cabochon and 2 sets of Pliers?!?!" The artist quietly replies "My dear, you got exactly what you paid for, if you think there is something missing, then you will need to pay for it."
Moral of the story, when you buy handmade you are not just buying the materials you are buying the artist's time, effort, love and dedication that goes into making your pieces.
This just in: thebigword pays out big bonus of over £1.5m to one of its directors November 21, 2013Posted by Jill (@bonnjill) in Business practices, Translation.

"With its global headquarters in Leeds, thebigword interprets two million minutes of speech and translates 35 million words every month. With 2,500 clients speaking 234 languages across 77 countries, the family-owned business has more than 8,000 freelance linguists and uses automated technology to co-ordinate its global operation."
This "unnamed highest paid director who took home a total of £1.99m during the year" and is getting an additional "discretionary bonus of £1.68m" should be proud of the work the company has done… oh wait, none of the 8000 translators or interpreters – who do the ACTUAL WORK – are seeing any of that. I wouldn't be surprised if they got another e-mail asking for yet another 15% pay cut. You know, because the company is hurting so much in this economy. You know they certainly won't be RAISING rates since it seems they are now doing so well.
Q&A from Fire Ant & Worker Bee March 21, 2013Posted by Jill (@bonnjill) in Business practices.
3 comments
The latest Accurapid Translation Journal has a very interesting Q&A about Trados pricing in its Fire Ant & Worker Bee column (which is always an enjoyable read). Since I have recently received similar requests from agencies (whatever happened to the good ole 30/60/100 pricing scheme Trados used to suggest?), I was very interested in reading the answer and thought you might be as well.
Dear Fire Ant & Worker Bee,
I have been contacted by three different agencies over the last few weeks proposing the following table for CAT tool discounts, all of whom I have refused while remaining icily polite:
Repetitions @10%
100% Matches @15%
95-99% Matches @20%
85-94% Matches @50%
75-84% and below @66%
50-74% and below @100%
No Match (New Words) @100%
Unedited Text in Graphics @100%
There appears to be some company trying to push this grid along with their CAT tool marketing. It is particularly derisory because low-grade fuzzy matches are in reality practically worthless, often costing more time than they save, especially for those of us who use voice recognition. I often set my CAT software to ignore them.
I am writing in case there is anyone new to the profession who is inclined to believe the sales pitch that this is some kind of "industry standard". It certainly is not. The supplier of a service sets the price, not the buyer. The buyer decides whether or not to buy.
Dear No Grid,
We agree not 50 nor 66 but 100%, sir, and applaud your reminder that this grid is a negotiating tool—some might say weapon—and definitely not an industry standard.
Self-assured claims to the contrary come from vendors applying commodity-based business models. They are understandably desperate to lock in margins at the low end of the market, where prices are very definitely under severe pressure.
As you probably know, many skilled professionals insist that translation technology is above all a quality assurance tool for ensuring consistency. As one observer notes, "real-time savings are achieved consistently only with large blocks of 100% context matches." And in other cases? Well, no one is saying that time might not be saved in some instances, with some texts. But that is not what "industry standard" grids—applied across the board—are.
This may be a good time to point out how much more sense it makes to bill by the hour, which recognizes genuine productivity-driven savings, however achieved.
A top interpreter once told us he developed the concentration he needed to perform at the highest level in the booth through intensive chess competitions. We find ourselves wishing translators would play more poker, to gain practical experience in the skills needed to call a negotiator's bluff.
Being in limbo January 30, 2013Posted by Jill (@bonnjill) in Business practices.

One of the things they don't tell you about when you start freelancing is the art of staying calm while being in limbo. I finished a job last night. It is currently at my proofreader's and is due back to the client later today. In the meantime, I have had three different job queries in the last week or so, and they are all pending approval by the client or still haven't been finalized. So here I sit, trying to fill my time while I have nothing to translate. With my luck they will all be approved (although I have a feeling that one of them won't) and will all be due on Friday or Monday. Or none of them will materialize. You never know as a freelancer. Because it is impossible to evenly distribute workload when you freelance. There is a lot of feast or famine – or waiting in limbo. November and December were extremely slow months for me. It had me questioning my decisions and toying with the idea of getting a 9-to-5 job or even a part-time job. Not having income coming in can make me panic pretty easily. My office was reorganized, my finances were in order, and I had run out of projects. I had decided to start a marketing campaign after the holidays, but luckily things improved. It still frustrates me waiting for work to be approved, but that's the business I guess. I'm hoping the return of work will return my zest for blogging. It's been hard to stay motivated. Anyway, I hope you all had a good holiday season and are busy with work through this new year. May we all stop being in limbo!

[translation mine]:
At 5:27 p.m. [Perfect Agency] sent out a query for a legal translation with over 4,000 words with a deadline of 7 p.m.!! After all, we're magicians!
Oh, Perfect Agency, you have quite the reputation with low rates and tight deadlines, but this one really takes the cake!

Ticonderoga The Ticonderoga Emergency Squad is settling into its new home.
The ambulance service has moved into its new building at 118 Champlain Avenue, located between Champlain Avenue and The Portage.
"It's a great building and has already been a big help to us," said Rick Morse, squad president. "Morale has really picked up. Everybody feels good and is more involved."
The Ticonderoga Emergency Squad had been located in a small garage behind the Community Building since 1963. That building long-ago became too small for a modern ambulance corps. The location also caused concerns about emergency vehicles pulling into traffic.
The new building is 4,100 square feet with access from Champlain Avenue and The Portage.
"We think we have a great location here," Morse said. "We're very pleased with the way things have turned out."
The new building is on the site of the old Ticonderoga Civic Center and was sold to the ambulance squad in 2009 by the town of Ticonderoga.
The building includes two drive through bays, a meeting room, offices, kitchen, lounge and storage areas, Morse said. It also has a state-of-the-art propane heating system that automatically adjusts to weather conditions. It also has a generator so it can remain operational during power outages. The architect was Steve Jung of Schroon Lake.
The building project had a budget of $860,000 — $280,000 raised by the squad and a $600,000 loan. Work was just recently completed and there are still some outstanding bills, but Morse said the project will be under budget.
Still, there is a 30-year mortgage. The Ticonderoga Emergency Squad receives no taxpayer funding from Ticonderoga and operates strictly on donations, insurance billing and donations.
"We'll always be fund raising," Morse said. "That's how we survive. WE have to pay the mortgage on the building, maintain our equipment, meet our financial obligations."

Final Score: Carolina 5, NY Islanders 4
Raleigh, NC (Sports Network) - Chad LaRose scored twice, including the game- winner in the third period, as the Carolina Hurricanes edged the New York Islanders, 5-4, at RBC Center.
Matt Cullen had two goals and an assist while Ray Whitney and Joe Corvo each had three assists for the Hurricanes, who have won two straight on the heels of a three-game losing streak. Cam Ward made 28 saves in the win.
"We'll take the fact that we learned how to stay in an ugly game and battle back and win and we can play better," said Carolina head coach Paul Maurice.
The win moves Carolina into the sixth spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race, one point ahead of the idle Rangers, with nine games to play.
Kyle Okposo and Frans Nielsen each had a goal and an assist for the Islanders, who had won four of six coming into the game. Peter Mannino made 32 saves in the loss.
"They put us on our heels, we played pretty hard in the first period, they got some power plays and it's pretty hard to try anything when they're three power plays against you," said Islanders head coach Scott Gordon.
Trailing by a goal in the third period, Carolina rallied to take the lead with two goals in a span of 2:17.
The game was tied on the power play when a shot at the right point by Rod Brind'Amour was tipped in by Cullen at the 13:22 mark.
The Hurricanes then took the lead on the rush. After a flurry of activity in front of the Carolina net, Whitney skated down the left wing and, once he gained the zone, cut to the top of the right circle. From there he dished it down low for LaRose, who tapped it in for a 5-4 advantage.
New York was unable to mount any offensive pressure over the next several minutes and a pair of minor penalties to the Islanders late in the game kept them from making a stab at tying the game.
Thanks to a lucky bounce, the Hurricanes took an early 1-0 lead. A dump-in from the neutral zone took a bounce off the backboards and Mannino attempted to grab it. However, it got by him and Cullen was there to sweep it into the open net just 44 seconds in.
Carolina took a 2-0 lead into the first intermission as LaRose's wrist shot found the back of the net with 1:08 left in the frame for his 15th goal of the season.
However, the Islanders rallied in the second and scored four times in the frame to take the lead.
Nielsen got things going at the 2:30 mark of the period on a wrister that beat Ward and Richard Park followed 3 1/2 minutes later as his backhander found the back of the net for his 12th goal of the season.
The visitors then took a 3-2 lead at the 14:51 point of the frame. On the rush, Andy Hilbert sent a saucer pass from the right to the left for Bruno Gervais, who left fly with a one-timer that got past Ward.
On the power play, the Islanders took a 4-2 lead with 1:03 left in the second thanks to Okposo's goal.
The Hurricanes got one back just nine seconds later when Tuomo Ruutu beat Mannino with a wrister to make it a 4-3 game heading into the final 20 minutes.

Bug Fixes
(46 stars)
My city
(46 stars)
The app constantly crashes. Since Mayor Cranley took office, the app no longer works! However, if you reinstall the app It works perfectly. The city responds in a timely manner for requests for public works and routine maintenance issues.
(46 stars)
I used to use this app regularly to report missed garbage pickups. Now, it opens, crashes immediately, and dumps me back on the Home screen. It's probably Cranley's fault, as it worked up until the recent election. ;-)
(46 stars)
The recent update fixed the GPS issues I had. The app now works quickly and cleanly and is faster than using the City website. I made a report and had a confirmation email in under a minute, start to finish.
(46 stars)
Can't check status of existing reports. Also folks, this is Android, not iApple. Why use an apple GUI on this app? Terrible cheapness which makes the whole app feel cheap, cheap, cheap. Bad idea.
(46 stars)
1. The app crashes and then restarts upon initial opening. Fix this. 2. The CAGIS map is really laggy; almost to the point of being unusable. Please just use Google Maps next time. 3. Needs to add the ability to post a picture with graffiti reports. Probably would be useful for other report types as well. Spend a little more time testing and polishing this app and it could be a really useful
(46 stars)
This app needs more testing and better UI design. 1) The GPS locator function tends to crash because it doesn't give the GPS service enough time to respond to the request, resulting in a bugcheck error message. Hitting continue usually works, but not always. 2) The GPS "find me" option should be FIRST on the main menu with a "tag location" option. This way if you're in your car and, for examp

Antony & Cleopatra (NT)
Editorial Staff • West End • 2 Nov 1998
The posters around the National Theatre these days are prominently advertising Cleo, Camping, Emmanuelle and Dick, Terry Johnson s new play based on the Carry On films. So when the lights went up on Sean Mathias new production of Shakespeare s famous love story, there was a brief moment when I thought I d gone into the wrong theatre and was being regaled with a version of Carry On Cleo. The well-worn cliches are here: female attendants clad in metallic bras and diaphanous trousers and Roman soldiers who salute each other in that clenched-fist-across-the-chest way beloved of Hollywood directors (there s even a choreographed sequence involving this gesture).
And the noise. Shakespeare paints a picture of an Egypt where music hovers in the air. In this production, the Egyptian guard hears music in the ground: we all certainly did (it was probably heard at Waterloo station), but I m sure the bard s intention was not something sounding like a German industrial rock band. There were a couple of whole scenes where, literally, not a single word could be heard (though, on the way out, one of my fellow theatre-goers bravely insisted, "No, I did hear the words occasionally.").
Into this sorry mess step two bona fide stars with impeccable Shakespeare credentials. Cleopatra is a part that was surely made for Helen Mirren and, indeed, in patches she shows what she is capable of, particularly in the scenes after the death of Antony.
As for Alan Rickman. There are probably thousands of middle-aged Englishmen who dream of being in close proximity to Ms Mirren, but Rickman doesn t appear to be one of them. This play can only work when the two lovers convince; this Antony shows more emotion when he learns that Enobarbus has deserted to the Romans than in any of his scenes with Cleopatra. Far from being the "doting mallard of the play", he is a dead duck long before his demise. The last time the National Theatre staged this play, Judi Dench and Anthony Hopkins gave a superb demonstration of a pair of middle-aged lovers; if only these two could have learned from that.
All is not completely lost though. Finbar Lynch is a wonderful Enobarbus, sly and cynical, an Irish chancer. And the highlight for me was Samuel West s Octavius, a buttoned-up, repressed public schoolboy whose mastery of realpolitik triumphs over the more earthy Antony.
For these saving graces, in a production of Antony and Cleopatra, there s something seriously wrong when Enobarbus and Octavius get a bigger cheer than the two leading characters. A right carry on indeed.

Uruguayans in Argentina
|Total population
|116,592 (2010 Census)[1]
|Regions with significant populations
|Buenos Aires · Rosario · Mar del Plata · Entre Ríos Province
|Rioplatense Spanish · Italian
|Christianity · Judaism · Irreligion
A Uruguayan Argentine is an Argentine citizen of Uruguayan descent or a Uruguay-born person who resides in Argentina. As of 2012, there were over 116,000 Uruguayans living in Argentine territory.[2]
There are lots of Uruguayan-born persons living in Argentina, for a number of reasons. Both countries share the same language, culture and ethnicity and their populations bear striking similarities; the historical origins of both nations is common (part of the Viceroyalty of the River Plate, Spanish Empire); both countries are members of MERCOSUR, there is no need for special migration documents, and circulation is relatively easy. Argentina has a much bigger economy, which has always attracted Uruguayans in search of opportunities; the cultural scene is intense, so many talented Uruguayan actors and entertainers have succeeded in their artistic careers in Argentina. And last, but not least, Uruguayans value and praise Argentina as a nice tourist and holidaying destination; especially a "shopping paradise".[3]
Uruguayan residents in Argentina have their own institutions, for instance, the Consultative Council in Buenos Aires[4] or the Center of Uruguayan Residents in Mar del Plata "José Gervasio Artigas".[5]
The causes of Uruguayan immigration to Argentina are several. Among these, in addition to the 1973 Uruguayan coup d'état are: improved living conditions, job search, fleeing the economic, socio-cultural similarity with Argentina, among others. Most settled throughout the Argentine territory, but mainly in the City of Buenos Aires and the surrounding metropolitan area and the rest of the Buenos Aires Province.

For anyone who plans to play this game, it's probably a good idea to either play with people you actually KNOW, or ones you are sure will actually look at the game periodically.
You have a finite number of "cards" in your inventory. Five of them will be tied up with any game until it's finished. You only start with around 22 cards, so if you're playing four games against people that never look at the app again, you can't play for seven days until those inactive players auto-lose. (There might be a way to "quit" and take the loss yourself, but I don't see one at present.)
When you first begin to play, the game will ask you for a referral code. If you put that code in, you'll get an extra starting card (often Kirk, I think). The person who's code you put in ALSO gets an extra card, as well as a "referral bonus" of extra XP every time that player levels up.
My referral code is FWDQQI if you need one. If other people actually read this forum :), I'd suggest using whatever referral code is the LOWEST on the list to share the benefits.

Tina Maze wins slalom before home fans in Slovenia
Sunday - 1/27/2013, 10:18am EST
MARIBOR, Slovenia (AP) - Overall World Cup leader Tina Maze rebounded from a close loss with an emphatic slalom victory before her home fans Sunday. The Slovenian has now won in four disciplines this season.
Maze, who lost Saturday's giant slalom by 0.08 seconds to Lindsey Vonn, led after the opening run and finished her two runs in 1 minute, 33.68 seconds down the Radvanje course.
"It's so amazing to win here," said Maze, who celebrated with a cartwheel with her ski boots on. "Everybody is cheering for me."
Frida Hansdotter of Sweden finished second, a distant 0.86 seconds behind. Kathrin Zettel of Austria was third, 1.13 back.
American teenager Mikaela Shiffrin moved up from 13th after the opening run to finish sixth and maintained a 13-point lead ahead of Maze in the slalom standings.
The 17-year-old Shiffrin had won the past two slaloms and has three wins overall this season. In the opening run, she was fastest in the top section and second fastest in the last section, but U.S. coach Alex Hoedlmoser said she had three big mistakes in the middle.
Vonn finished 36th in the first run and failed to qualify for the second leg. Both runs were held in clear conditions, with the temperature below freezing.
In the overall standings, Maze has more than twice as many points as her nearest challenger, Maria Hoefl-Riesch, the Olympic slalom champion who went out in the first run.
Maze leads Hoefl-Riesch 1,654-806, and Vonn is third with 740 points.
Vonn won two slaloms four seasons ago, but the event has become her weakest discipline. She hadn't even entered a slalom since last season's World Cup finals.
It was Maze's seventh win of the season and first in slalom. She now needs only a downhill win to hold victories in all five disciplines this season.
Only two women have won in all five disciplines in a season _ Austria's Petra Kronberger in 1990-91 and Croatia's Janica Kostelic in 2005-06. The only man to do it was Marc Girardelli in 1988-89.
Maze's super-G win in St. Anton two weeks ago gave her wins in each discipline over her career.
"Tina is sensational this season," Zettel said. "She has shown her class here once again."
A special city event is scheduled for Moscow on Tuesday, the last race before the Feb. 5-17 world championships in Schladming, Austria.
Only two more traditional slaloms remain this season, although the parallel city event _ a mix between slalom and giant slalom _ also counts toward the slalom standings.

Toronto, ON, Canada Did you know that there's a new infant formula that blocks transmission of HIV from mother to baby? that a mother's Vitamin D status during pregnancy will affect her baby's future dental health? that there's a new topical oral syrup that prevents early-childhood tooth decay?These are but a few of the thousands of pieces of information which will be presented when the International Association for Dental Research (IADR) holds its 86th General Session & Exhibition, July 2-5, 2008, at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto, ON, Canada. It will also be the 32nd Annual Meeting of the Canadian Association for Dental Research.
This year, nearly 3,600 scientific presentations will be made, divided among plenary/oral/poster sessions and symposia/ workshops. Estimates are that more than 5,000 dental scientists, educators, students, and practicing dentists from around the world will convene, representing the latest thinking in dental research.
In addition to the individual presentations, there will be Distinguished Speaker lectures, symposia, and workshops during the four-day meeting, dealing with special-interest symposium topics ranging from knowledge translation, to using motivational interviewing to change human health behavior, to designing dental programs for high-risk children.
Featured during Meeting Week will be the IADR/Unilever Hatton Awards Competition (41 competitors from 18 countries) for student investigators. The presentations, in poster format, will be judged by top-level scientists. Winners will receive cash prizes and plaques.
The Opening Ceremonies and Welcome Reception, from 4:00 to 6:30 pm on Wednesday, July 2, will provide an
exciting kick-off for the week's activities. Many awards and fellowships, including the 2008 IADR Distinguished Scientist
Awards, will be presented. Refreshments at the Welcome Reception are generously sponsored by Wrigley Oral Healthcare

You Can't Stop the Bum Rush
|You Can't Stop the Bum Rush
|Studio album by Len
|May 25, 1999
|Indie pop, hip hop

|Professional ratings
|Review scores

|Robert Christgau
|Rolling Stone
You Can't Stop the Bum Rush is the major label debut of Canadian Pop group Len, released on May 25, 1999 by Work Records. The album consists of a number of songs of different genres.
The album featured the top ten hit "Steal My Sunshine", which was previously featured on the soundtrack to the 1999 comedy thriller Go. It also managed to peak at No. 46 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and go Gold in the U.S. The album had a mostly positive response from critics as well. Unfortunately, the smashup that followed killed the combo's momentum and "Sunshine" became remembered through '90s compilation albums.[citation needed]
The album also featured Buck 65 on the cover of the album, although he reportedly declined an offer to join the band. Despite this, he provides record scratches on the track "Cold Chillin'".

Pro Kennex Graphite Ascent 90?
I recently bought a Pro Kennex Graphite Ascent 90 from local thrift store. I searched online but couldn't find any information about it. It is turquoise in color with a very similar paint job as the Head Graphite Pro (USA version). It is made of graphite/fiberglass and has a silver full cover.
Some measured specs:
8 point head light
beam width probably 17mm
string pattern 16x19
I wonder if anyone ever heard about this racket? Thanks!
I also just picked up one of these sticks, $5 at Goodwill. Seems like it will be right up my alley. It's a bit more teal than the picture lets on.
Wait, so are you saying Head might have made this and slapped a PK paintjob on it?
Probably more the other way around. i have felt that, for example, the redondo mid, is as close as youl get these days to a p600, even in direct competition with the prestige mid. Less power potential for the redondo vs P600 for sure, but with the right string setup in there, and your good to go.
Not that unusual for some companies to share ideas and tecnitians man power regarding the birth of a certain type of racquet (or golf clubs, or paddels, or skiis,, etc..)
Fair enough. Stringing pattern available here, only lists 1 piece job: http://www.sptennis.com/patterns/PatternOther2.html
Ya, that string pattern listed in the last link was not really right. Here is the one that worked for me:
Here's the result, with a new overgrip. I might touch the paint up in the future as well. This teal is a much more accurate color representation.
Hit with it today. Pretty meh. It wasn't as headlight as advertised, so I found myself late on my backhands. If I got the racquet back way early, then I was rewarded. Decent spin potential. Fairly stable, although off-center shots were very unforgiving.
It just didn't have the same feel of old graphite sticks. However, it did have the high-pitched "ping" when hitting the ball. Worth $5? Maybe. Regular player? Unlikely. I'll give it another chance tomorrow.
Nope, no interest. The spin was good on the forehand side, but I just had nothing from the backhand. After I shanked like 6 balls with it, I got my HGE out and started pounding forehands again.
Who knows, maybe someone will want it on craigslist for $10?
kinda like Giant Bicycles used to be.

I have a server that I can ssh into but that's it. Otherwise it is totally closed off from the outside world. I'm trying to deploy some scripts I wrote to it but they have several Perl dependencies (Params::Validate, XML::Simple, etc.) I can't get them via yum since our satellite server doesn't have those packages and the normal CPAN install won't work either since the host is so restricted. Moving the module sources over and compiling is extremely tedious. I've been doing that for over a day, trying to resolve dependencies, with no end in sight. Is there any way around this? Any help is greatly appreciated.
If you can, set up a parallel system as close as possible (as far as architecture, and perl version) to your closed system, and install all your dependencies there into a separate lib directory using local::lib. Then you can simply scp over that directory to your closed system, and again using local::lib (and setting up some environment variables), your code will be able to utilize that directory.
See this, it explains multiple methods that you can use to get CPAN modules into production.
Have you tried cpan minus? If not, here's how to get it.
You can use it with local::lib. :-D
Chromatic has a great post on how to even get a newer(and multiple) version(s) of perl onto a restricted system.
If you can change your hosting provider, this would be a good time to switch ;-) (I personally think Linode rocks!).
Assuming that is not the case, you can try to go with the option of setting a parallel system as @Ether suggested.
On the other hand, if the modules you are using and their dependencies are pure Perl modules, you should be able to use PAR::Packer to package your script and its dependencies and
I use SSH tunneling to tunnel from the remote server back to a local proxy server. That way you can install whatever Modules you need. Just set the http_proxy variable to the local port that is remote forwarded (If that makes sense) from your local machine.
then on the remote server in cpan
