Have you ever received poor service
from someone you expected should be helping you as part of that person's
job? The answer is almost certainly "yes."
And, if you're like most people, you
have probably also experienced the frustration of working with someone
who made your own job more difficult.
In both cases you may have wondered
"Why don't they just fire this person?"
Firing someone may seem easy in theory,
but it is often a last resort for an employer. A bad employee's supervisor
may know that the employee isn't performing up to snuff, but that supervisor
-- or the company -- may have what they consider to be a good reason for
not firing the employee.
Whenever you encounter someone who
you think deserves to be fired -- either in your own workplace or elsewhere
-- consider if any of the following might be the reason the bad employee
is still on the job:
1. The employee has
a relationship with someone higher up
A relationship doesn't necessarily
have to be romantic or family, although either is a possibility. In many
cases, the relationship that keeps someone from getting fired is friendship.
The bad employee may not perform well on the job, but may be a good golf
or drinking buddy for your boss, or may simply be someone that senior
management enjoys having around the office.
2. The boss relies
on the employee
According to Terence R. Mitchell, Ph.D.,
author of the business text People in Organizations: Understanding Their
Behavior, when a supervisor depends on an employee, the supervisor
is less likely to attribute poor performance to the employee's ability
or attitude, and more likely to attribute the poor performance to forces
beyond the employee's control.
3. The employee brings
more value to the company than he or she costs
Maybe the employee who jokes around
and wastes other employees' time at meetings is also a brilliant worker
whose productivity has resulted in significant revenue for the company.
4. The boss thinks it could
be worse
Even if everyone knows the employee
is not pulling their weight, management may fear that a replacement might
do an even worse job. This fear is compounded if the company has previously
had other people perform more poorly in the position.
5. The boss is afraid of
the employee
If there are concerns that an employee
might sue the company or possibly become violent if fired, it may take
longer to let that employee go. If there's a threat, the company needs
to consult with legal or security experts and put appropriate measures
in place before letting a bad employee go.
6. The boss feels sorry
for the employee
In such cases, a boss is sympathetic
to the employee, and not to those who the employee's actions may be hurting.
The boss may worry that the employee won't be able to find another job
if fired. If the employee needs the money to support a family, has health
problems, or has recently experienced another life challenge, the boss
may feel it's best to let the employee keep the job.
7. The boss doesn't want
to go through the hiring process
It takes time to review applications,
conduct interviews, check references, and train a new person. Your boss
may believe it's easier to deal with the consequences when the bad employee
messes up rather than deal with hiring a replacement.
8. The employee knows
The employee might know something embarrassing
about the boss, but it's more likely the employee simply knows historical
information that the company needs today. For example, if that employee
is the only one who knows how to operate an ancient piece of equipment
that the company still uses, your employer may need to keep him or her
9. The employee has everybody
In their book Snakes in Suits,
Paul Babiak, Ph.D. and Robert D. Hare, Ph.D., explain that a surprising
number of workplaces employ psychopaths. While psychopaths make up 1% of
the general population, Babiak and Hare found that 3.5% of the executives
they worked with "fit the profile of the psychopath."
Psychopathic employees are pathological
liars who get away with doing little or no work. They charm senior management
with their "leadership potential," con co-workers into covering for them,
and successfully blame others for their mistakes. If you're the only one
who sees what they're up to, you're in a tough spot. Sometimes it's the
whistle-blower who gets fired, not the snake.
10. He or she is not really
a bad employee
So what if a co-worker sometimes works
from home, takes long lunches, or does something else you don't think is
fair - as long as they get the work done. If you're not the employee's
supervisor, you're not personally affected, and the employee is not hurting
anyone such as customers or co-workers, stop stressing over what they do
and focus instead on your own work.

The National Right to Life Committee has endorsed Republican U.S. Chuck Fleischmann as the Chattanooga lawmaker seeks a third term, according to a Fleischmann news release.
The group thanked the congressman for his 100 percent pro-life voting record, opposing taxpayer funding of abortions,and co-sponsoring the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.
"All voters who are concerned with the right to life and with the protection of the most vulnerable members of the human family should vote to return you to Congress," the campaign quoted the NRLC's letter saying.
The NRLC endorsed Fleischmann in his 2012 race as well. The congressman said he is honored by their support.
"There is nothing more important than giving a voice to the voiceless, and standing up for the sanctity of human life. I have stood for the value of life from day one and will continue to do so," Fleischmann said in the release.

Zhang, De-Yuan and Ono, Takahito and Esashi, Masayoshi (2005) Piezoactuator-integrated monolithic microstage with six degrees of freedom. Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 122 (2). 301 - 306.

In comparison with miniature XY-stages in term of driving methods: electrostatic, electromagnetic and piezoelectric actuators, the piezoelectric actuators have high area efficiency but no machinability by conventional microfabrication techniques. In this paper we have proposed the novel fabrication method of a double-layered piezo-stack actuator made from a monolithic PZT plate based on a planar fabrication method, and integrated the actuators into an XYZ-stage with six degrees of freedom, i.e., X, Y, Z, θx, θy and θz directions. The stacked piezoactuators were formed on both sides of the PZT plate. The double stacked-piezoactuators, which are arranged around the stage, can stretch in plane or bend to Z-direction. The fabrication method includes dicing, electroplating, and laser machining. After making grooves by dicing, metal electroplating was performed and buried Ni into the grooves, which was done on both sides of the PZT plate. After polishing the surface, metal electrodes were formed on an insulating photosensitive polyimide layer. Finally, the complete structure was defined by laser machining. The test results show that the X-direction displacement of the actuation arms was about 2 μm when 40 V was applied to both of double-layered piezo-stacked actuators. The Z-direction displacement of the actuation beam was about 2 μm when 40 V was only applied to one stacked actuator. These results show the possibility of the microstage with six degrees of freedom.

I have done something similar on quite a few occasions. Easiest would be a 580ex on a tall flash bracket. I agree about cords and stands not being that teenager friendly.

My standard configuration for situations like that is a 580ex on bracket and another off camera. When I can't put the OCF flash in front of the subject and control it's angle and pattern relative to the noses I just roll it around back and park it in a corner. If it worked for a room full of five-year-olds it will probably work for you too...
As you can see the rim lighting adds separation and an illusion of 3D space that is lacking in single flash shots with front > back fall off or the bland even light of bounced flash. The light from the back also meets the light from the front in the middle, which eliminated the "shot in a cave" look of single flash shots.
Technically its a no brainer with ETTL. Note how the OCF flash is visible in the first shot. A feature of the default evaluative flash metering will ignore flashes or their reflections in the shot when computing the flash exposure.

Bears Lyrics - Tom Goss
Some people think they got it right
They tell me just what I will like
A tight waste, a smooth face, their leaks 48
But they don't know me.
Let's dance with the best of me
said bears were my fantasy
Said bears in what I like,
You were all night, all right
Bears don't discriminate
I think I can .. and navigate
steal my heart and let it ..
All night, all right.
I won't explain why it's what I like
And know you can't take me, I want you tonight
It takes some attitude rock this bed
sponsored linksAnd you ain't got none.
What I'm searching for is deeper
Share my way the .. see it all
And see it all
I lay my head down, lay at night
Those .. surround me tight
My long project is where is at
Now going in your ..

'Absolute madness!' - Villeneuve on Schumacher
19 February 2010 – Jacques Villeneuve is highly excited by the fact that he could be racing Michael Schumacher in Formula 1 again this year after it seemed that the careers of both drivers were over three years ago. The French-Canadian hopes for a place on this year's grid with the Serbian Stefan GP team.
With Villeneuve having left BMW midway through the 2006 campaign with Schumacher then retiring from Ferrari as that year's championship runner-up, Villeneuve is sure that experience should not be written off following a decade which introduced a new generation of young drivers to the sport.
"A year ago, everyone thought that Barrichello was an old driver," Villeneuve said to Auto Motor und Sport of the 2009 race winner. "Rubens is only half a year younger than me. De la Rosa is my age and Michael is three years older.
"In recent years, many young drivers have been in Formula 1. Some, such as Alonso or Vettel, are good. Others have disappeared into oblivion because they arrived in Formula 1 too early. Meanwhile, most teams have suddenly realised that having only young drivers is not a solution, you need a good mix; the ideal mix is a young and an experienced driver - that way, the younger one has a benchmark, otherwise he doesn't know where he stands."
A return for Villeneuve would mean that five World Champions would line-up on this year's grid, matching an all-time record and rekindling several old rivalries. "That would be absolute madness!" he continued of himself and German Schumacher. "Even if we didn't always agree, his performances are beyond doubt. He was, for all of the drivers, always the ultimate challenge - everyone wants to go up against the man who's won the most races and titles. He has the bite, he knows what he wants.
"Michael has spent his whole life driving racing cars and knows how to win championships. Even if a car might not have been the best from the beginning, he would find a way to make it faster. To me, he seems to be just as hungry as when he started in Formula 1 and I imagine the break has made him even better."

The TinCaps and Burlington just kept playing and playing Wednesday afternoon.
The Bees defeated the TinCaps 7-5 in the 18th inning long after the school children returned to their class rooms and the teams turned to position players to finish the game at Parkview Field. The game lasted five hours and 45 minutes.
First baseman Ryan Dalton pitched the final inning for the Bees to get the save after center fielder Mark Shannon pitched three innings to get the win.
The TinCaps had to use right fielder Ronnie Richardson to pitch the 18th inning.
The TinCaps (4-8) were coming off a 13-3 win Tuesday and were seeking their first back-to-back wins of the season. Burlington (7-5) opened the series with a 4-2 snow-shortened win Monday.
Burlington right fielder Ranyelmy Mendoza opened the scoring on the first pitch of the second inning as he sent it over the left-field wall.
The Bees kept the lead until they got sloppy in the sixth inning.
TinCaps center fielder Mallex Smith walked to lead off the bottom of the sixth and moved to third base when starter Ryan Etsell's pickoff throw was off target. Smith then came home when catcher Stephen McGee's pickoff attempt was also off target.
Ronnie Richardson then drew a walk, and Fernando Perez hit a double to center field to bring in Richardson to give the TinCaps a 2-1 lead.
The Bees took the lead right back in the seventh inning as Angel Rosa drove in two runs with a single to left field with the bases loaded and two outs.
TinCaps third baseman Dustin Peterson tied the game at 3 in the eighth inning with an RBI single to left with no outs, but Peterson was left on first and the teams entered the ninth tied.
Burlington and Fort Wayne traded runs in the 16th inning with Shannon, who moved from center field to pitcher in the 15th for the Bees, bringing in a run with a single.
Peterson tied the game for a second time in the bottom of the 16th when his high flyball to right field was lost in the sun and dropped for a double to bring home Ronnie Richardson. But Josh VanMeter flew out to center field on the next at bat to send the game to the 17th.
Burlington's Kody Eaves drove in Ryan Dalton with a single to center field to go up 5-4, but the TinCaps responded with a run in the bottom of the inning with Franchy Cordero tying the game with a sacrifice fly to right field.
Burlington took the lead again in the 18th as Mendoza drove in a run with a sacrifice fly to right field and Ryan Dalton added another with a single to center.
For more on this game, read Thursday's Journal Gazette or return to "Full Count" later today.

Our dearly departed (...to Seattle, that is) former Music Editor, Dave Segal, once wrote this about local band the Growlers: "The Growlers play party music that's shot through with an undertone of melancholy. It's as if their sepia-tinted rock songs come equipped with both the drunken cheeriness and the nauseating hangover." Damn. Now if that's not a compliment, we don't know what is.

To finish your thesis, you're going to have to spend a lot of days sitting writing in front of a computer screen.
But spending more hours at the desk per day doesn't necessarily mean you'll finish any faster. You have to make sure that the time you spend there is spent well.
The 80:20 Principle
If you spend 10 hours at the desk, you might find that 80% of your productivity occurs in 2 hours, while the other 20% takes place in the remaining 8. It's the 80:20 principle in action.
Strangely, the last 2 hours of the day can often be the most productive, even though you would think that's when you'd be the most tired and least productive.
Circadian rhythms
Your general level of alertness naturally varies throughout the day, and for most people the pattern repeats on a daily basis- so for example you might be sleepy in the morning and most alert between 3 and 5 pm, every day.
Short term stress can override the rhythm (like if you have an important deadline), but you'll tend to revert to what your body is used to.
But your alertness will also depend on what your body is physically doing. Sitting behind a desk all day, your body's core temperature will drop, your heart rate will slow and you will gradually become less alert and less capable of writing.
So it's vital to get up and get your body working to keep your mind alert.
What to do
You need to know what your natural rhythm is. When are you most alert during the day? And when do you just feel like sleeping?
Once you know what that rhythm is, you can start working with it, rather than against it.
- Try to do the most mentally demanding work when you are at your peak, and do easier things when you're not. If you peak between 6 and 8 in the evening, it makes no sense to try to be at the desk at 9am. Start later, finish later.
- Also, try to build momentum towards your peak working time. So if it takes you time to build momentum at the start of the day, start the day with something really easy.
- This is much easier if at the end of the day you leave yourself something easy to start the next one with.
- Don't rush to turn the computer on in the morning. You'll just be on email and Facebook anyway. Take your time to prepare, have breakfast, do any miscellaneous chores and give your body time to physically wake up.
- Only check email after you've achieved something for the day (no matter how small an achievement).
- When you feel tired and feel like checking email, get away from the desk instead.
Reading email is not a break
Sitting in front of your email doesn't count as relaxing. Physically you are doing exactly what you are when working, so there is no contrast.
Get up and stretch your legs instead. Better still, do 20 push ups and 20 sit ups. The boost will be better than a shot of espresso!

How do I submit my Certification Maintenance Compliance Form?
You have two options to submit your Certification Maintenance Compliance Form to ASHA:
I am a member of the ASHA CE Registry; do I still need to submit a Compliance Form?
Yes. All certificate holders must have a Compliance Form submitted because it verifies all aspects of the certification maintenance requirements, not only the requirement to participate in professional development, but also adherence to the ASHA Code of Ethics and payment of annual dues.
If you are a current member of the CE Registry and have accumulated 30 CMHs, the CE Registry will automatically submit your compliance form on your behalf. However, if you do not have a total of 30 CMHs recorded, you will have to submit your Compliance Form either online or through the mail.
How and when do I submit my Record Keeping Form and documentation of my professional development activities?
Only individuals who are chosen for the maintenance audit need to submit their Record Keeping Form [PDF] and documentation of professional development activities. The Record Keeping Form and documentation must be submitted within 60 days of being notified.

I've got a Desire HD and Transparent Proxy didn't work :(
@sted: where are you getting the info that Samsung will release an update in the next month? If it's actually Samsung releasing it, you can add at least another month to that while your network provider adds their crud to it, if they release it at all...
I've had G'bread on my GT540 for about 6-8 weeks.....Best thing I've done to it.
Also, the chances of actually "bricking" your phone are pretty slim. You may get a boot loop, or some other such problem, but completely bricking it is very difficult!
(That's only MY opinion, and I do not wish to be held responsible for someone trying a ROM AND bricking their phone!!!)
I've made my phone even faster today by using SD Increase!
well i got bored and flashed it to 2.3 earlier and apart from it not wanting to install angry birds(fixed) and after redoing looking at address book and assuming names had numbers not just e-mail but after a few mins exporting from oytlook im back up and running and it does seem faster now. All i need is to remember where i put my backdrop lol gps is still about as much use as a chocolate teapot though lol
AFAIK there's problems with the main Gingerbread update code from google causing GPS issues. I'm finding if I run up GPS Status app, wait till aqquires 5 sats and then close it and open up my own GPS speed app it them works OK. But sometimes I need to open/close GPS status itself a few times :)Quote:
ps is still about as much use as a chocolate teapot though lol
If you want reliable, then 2.2 ROMs are still the way to go (or maybe older Gingerbread versions that didn't seem to have the problem)
A .1 in android is important :lol:
Starting again
Are you saying your GPS didn't work well with original ROM outdoors?Quote:
gps is still about as much use as a chocolate teapot
As up until recent Gingerbread updates, GPS reliability has never been an issue on 'droids so you probably have a physically duff phone :(
[edit]try out GPS Status app and see what it gives you[/edit]
ah damn it wont send/receive texts now just crashes the app
I've just updated my Desire HD to Gingerbread and I've got an integrated proxy tool. Works fine too, well on the browser at least.

Craven County road closed due to sewer repair
Published On: Dec 24 2013 01:48:14 AM CST
Updated On: Aug 12 2013 09:20:07 AM CDT
Updated On: Aug 12 2013 09:20:07 AM CDT
A section of a Havelock road has been closed for sewer repair, officials said.
McCotter Boulevard was closed between Tarheel Drive and Forest Hill Drive Monday morning, according to officials. The repair work was scheduled to start after the morning rush.
The repairs are expected to be completed within one week, weather permitting. The goal is to have it done before the start of school, officials said. Additional work may be required, however, once excavation is complete.

Well, it was fun while it lasted Caf Select tells us that after some incidents involving chuckleheads who didnt know how to handle a good thing, it stopped allowing patrons to enter its back room through the super-spooky utility tunnel. You can still walk through the kitchen to get to one of the citys most distinctive drink dens, but descending through the sidewalk delivery doors was just that much better for impressing out-of-towners. Then again, if they had continued to keep those sidewalk doors open, some weekend warrior probably wouldve fallen in and cracked their skull. Wouldnt want that, considering the problems the restaurants neighbor 218 is having over noise complaints. Anyway, in happier news, Select is now delivering from Canal Street up to Bleecker Street.

Resin Lifespan Studies
Resin lifespan studies may be more appropriately carried out concurrently, provided the analytical methods are demonstrated
to be sufficiently sensitive and appropriate.10 Virus clearance by aged resins has been a topic of discussion for several years. Surrogate measurements that replace the
need to evaluate virus clearance after repeated use have been proposed for some types of chromatographic steps (i.e., affinity
and flow-through mode anion exchange chromatography used in MAb production).11,12
Conformance Batches and Beyond
Better process understanding may lead to changes to improve process control, increase productivity or reduce costs. Often,
implementing such changes is delayed due to concerns about validating changes and submitting regulatory filings. The concept
of design space, defined by process development, DoE, empirical studies, and experience, and approval of that space may now
enable changes to be made within that space without incurring regulatory delays (see ICH Q8).
Validation Strategy and Activities for A Cation Exchange Step
To validate this step, it is necessary to know why it was designed into the process. Most monoclonal antibodies bind to cation
exchangers. This step is used to capture the MAb and remove process impurities such as host cell proteins (HCP), DNA, leached
Protein A, other process impurities from cell culture and clarification steps, and product-related impurities. This cation
exchange step is also used to enhance overall virus clearance.
Process-related Impurities
Product-related Assays
Antibody titer and purity by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are commonly used methods for assessing product
quality. Impurities, such as aggregates and other product modifications, may also be detected by the HPLC assay. Other modes
of HPLC may be used to detect glycoforms, and isoelectric focusing (IEF) might also be a useful assay.
Viral clearance
Viral clearance studies will be performed in a scaled down model, validated to represent manufacturing scale. Adherence to
the ICH guideline for virus validation will be confirmed, which means prospective cation exchanger lifespan studies must be
performed.13 In the future, it is possible that the surrogate determinations (i.e., removal of a specific impurity, height equivalent
to a theoretical plate (HETP), and backpressure) might be acceptable for assessing column performance for a cation exchanger.

Western New York's Medal of Honor Recipients
World War II
Lt. Col. Matt "The Ghost" Urban
On Saturday, June 14, 2008, a monument honoring America's most decorated combat soldier was unveiled in a ceremony at the Erie County Rath Building for Lt. Col. Matt "The Ghost" Urban. He was born in Buffalo on August 7, 1919 of Polish immigrant parents, raised at 1153 Broadway. He attended Buffalo Public School # 57.
This World War II hero had already earned every military award available - many more than once. (29 medals for bravery and The Purple Heart seven times) It took 35 years for him to be recognized for the Medal of Honor. The award nomination his battalion commander wrote, prior to being killed in action, never reached headquarters of the 9th Infantry Division in Europe. In 1978, a review of Matt Urban's records revealed a copy of this proposed letter. Officials discovered they had mistakenly overlooked awarding him the Medal of Honor. On July 19, 1980, then President Jimmy Carter presented him his long awaited Medal of Honor.
He was nicknamed "The Ghost" because of his sophisticated combat exploits. He led his troops through six campaigns in North Africa, Sicily, Belgium, France and Germany. Lt. Col. Matt Urban was wounded six times and six times he went back to the front lines. The seventh time he was wounded, he was shot in the throat and the bullet tore out a vocal cord. Army doctors gave him no hope for survival. He actually recovered two years later with damaged vocal cords which left him raspy-voiced to the end of his days. He died on March 20, 1995 as a result of complications from a collapsed lung brought on by one of his seven war wounds. Lt. Colonel Matt Urban was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery in March 1995.

Hat tip to Market Research Deathwatch for highlighting a new type of MROC – lockerz.
MROC Variant 1 is what we think of as a traditional MROC built exclusively (usually by Communispace, Passenger, etc.) for a client with the members coming exclusively from the client's current customer base (raving fans typically).
MROC Variant 2 is (will be) MROCs built around particular affinity groups and consumer types and accessed like an omnibus product by many different marketers. In this case the MROC or panel company will "rent" access to the group to many buyers.
MROC Variant 3 is (will be) like lockerz or expotv .
It will be a much larger type of MROC which we might label as something else entirely – possibly a OECLS (Open Ended Customer Listening Service) or a "megapanel."
Several things will distinguish variant 3:
1. Size. These online communities could be huge.
2. Ownership. They may not be owned by traditional MR players.
3. Multiple Interests. They are likely to include members with many different interests.
4. Fun. They will be more fun than a traditional MROC and will force Variant 1 to build in games and other attractions.
Where does Variant 3 end up? One possible future is a global "cool" community operating by member invitation only that enables trendspotters to identify the most bleeding edge trends in fashion, entertainment and consumption in real time. Members would post videos of their newest purchases and offer dreamscapes on what they want to do with friends or family in the summer. Who knows, they might even discover the catchy tunes of LatinoArabia music.

Tunisian Parliament Adopts New Constitution
Tunisia's constituent assembly overwhelmingly passed a new constitution Sunday night after two years of bargaining between the country's Islamists and secularists. Last week, the assembly voted on each article of the draft ahead of Sunday's vote on the full document. Out of the 216-member constituent assembly, 200 people voted in favor of the charter. Its completion has come three years after the overthrow of Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali. After the vote, assembly speaker Mustapha Ben Jaafar said, "This constitution, without being perfect, is one of consensus." He continued, "We had today a new rendezvous with history to build a democracy founded on rights and equality." U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said Tunisia "reached another historic milestone" and said the constitution is a model to be followed by other countries aiming to reform. Prior to the vote, Prime Minister Mehdi Jomaa appointed a caretaker cabinet composed mainly of independents and technocrats. The move came as part of a deal to end a political crisis between Tunisia's Islamists and secularists, and the body is expected to govern until elections likely to be held later this year.
Syrian peace talks have resumed Monday in Geneva, with the contentious issue of a power transfer set for discussion. The opposition has demanded that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad resign while the government delegation has maintained Assad's role is not up for debate. There is no indication the government's position has changed. Over the weekend, U.N. envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, managed to get the two parties into the same room for negotiations for the first time. The talks to this point have focused on humanitarian issues, and made progress with the Syrian government agreeing to allow women and children to leave a barricaded area of the city of Homs. However, the deal fell short in what international mediators were seeking, hoping for humanitarian access for U.N. aid convoys. The United States is pushing for Syria to allow the convoys into the Old City of Homs, where it said "people are starving," and called for all civilians to be allowed to leave the besieged area. According to Syrian State TV, a Syrian official and a U.N. representative are meeting in Homs Monday to discuss how to conduct the evacuation of women and children from Homs. Meanwhile, the United States has resumed nonlethal aid to the Syrian opposition, after cutting off deliveries of communications equipment and other items when al Qaeda linked militants overtook warehouses near the Turkish border over a month ago.
- Egypt has announced that presidential elections will precede parliamentary elections, meanwhile interim President Adly Mansour promoted General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to field marshal.
- A Libyan militia commander was freed in Egypt after five Egyptian diplomats abducted in Tripoli were released, though officials say there was no deal.
- Bahraini police and protesters clashed Sunday in a village west of Manama after a funeral for Fadhel Abbas, who died in custody.
- Ansar Beit al-Madqis has claimed responsibility for downing an Egyptian helicopter, killing five soldiers, while at least 49 people were killed in clashes at protests in Egypt over the weekend against the military-backed government.
- Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man and injured another in the northern Gaza Strip after several Palestinians threw stones and rolled burning tires, according to the Israeli military.
Arguments and Analysis
'Letting Go of Revolutionary Purity' (Hesham Sellam, Jadaliyya)
"Immediately following Morsi's ouster, observers and activists debated the question of whether 30 June 2013 signified a second wave of the January 25 Revolution or simply a ruthless coup that killed Egypt's 'young democracy.' Let us set aside the sheer simplicity of this debate. It is clear today that reducing these complex events to 'just a coup' will not redeem the Morsi government's exclusionary policies or negate popular opposition to his rule. In contrast, calling it a 'revolution,' as pro-military commentators continue to do, can never magically impart democratic legitimacy to Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's military regime. Nor will it mask the fact that the current regime's abuses have surpassed anything Egypt witnessed during the Morsi administration. In fact, the narrative of a June Revolution serves the current regime's efforts to negate the memory of the January 25 Revolution, and the basic demands for bread, freedom, and social justice around which Egyptians rallied three years ago. That same narrative also attempts to mask the growing list of crimes that army leaders and their allies in the domestic security apparatus have committed before and after 30 June. In this context, it is an act of resistance just to remember January 25, since to do so forces one to consider the chasm between the ideals of January 25 and the oppressive political order that rules the present.
Yet this recovery of a 'revolutionary purity' is for many a near impossible task. It is true that many activists continue to confront the military regime's abuses. Yet over the course of the past year the mood has clearly shifted in the way observers throughout the world perceive the quest for revolutionary change in Egypt. The faces and voices that international media used to associate with the idealism of this revolution are either in prison, in exile, silent, marginalized, or have tacitly or actively supported the military. To many outside (as well as inside) observers disappointed at the events of the past year terms like 'revolutionaries,' 'youth activists,' and 'January 25 youth' no longer evoke the courage, conviction, and principle they did three years ago. After witnessing many, though certainly not all, of these same actors condone the downfall of a democratically elected president last year and their subsequent silence on the military's abuses, for some observers these terms have come to denote naiveté, impulsiveness, and hypocrisy."
'Egypt's Revolution on the Margins' (H.A. Hellyer, CNN)
"On the third anniversary of the revolutionary uprising, that leaves one group left to account for -- the group that sparked it in the first place, and continued to fight for it without regard for partisan political interest.
Those original 'Jan25 revolutionaries,' made up of rights campaigners, civil society activists and others, had no plan during that 18 day uprising -- except to persist and persevere. They were joined by many others -- and no-one can now claim the uprising was theirs alone. The crowds that swept into the different squares of Egypt over those days were representative of Egyptian society in general -- not simply one sector of it.
But that portion of society that sparked the protests, those who continued to agitate for fundamental change, and to criticise, irrespective of who sat in the presidential palace -- they've already realised that just as they were on the margins on January 25 2011, they're still on them in 2014.
Three years later, many of them have been arrested for dissent against the current government. Many had gone into political parties, but they never reached critical mass. What they did have -- what they do have -- is this strange perseverance to continue speaking truth to power.
On January 25 2014, some may go out to remember the uprising where so many Egyptians decided to join them. Mostly, however, they'll probably take a deep breath as they see most Egyptians fall prey to an ultra-nationalism on the one hand, and a sectarian partisanship on the other. Back to the margins they may have gone -- but into oblivion, they refuse to go."

6. Set against the vibrant backdrop of revolution, Randy Pitts attempts to woo Bolshevik beauty Natasha by growing a truly epic mustache.
Original Version
Dear Literary Agent,
I am seeking representation for my novel, Crimson Courtship. It is a historical romance set in Regency London, and is complete at 92,000 words. Also enclosed is a short synopsis and sample chapter.
I have always loved historical romances, especially if there are multiple books connected by common characters. However, I have been frustrated that it always seems to be a group of brothers, or male cousins or friends. [This will be a fascinating topic of conversation at your next Romance Writers of America chapter meeting. In the meantime, let's skip to the part where you tell your prospective agent specifically what it is you've written, so she can skip to the part where she guesses whether it will put any money specifically in her wallet.] In Crimson Courtship and the three books that will follow, the story of each of the women from Hillgate Manor is told.
For a young lady in 1815, being presented to London society is the most exciting time of her life. However, with the sudden death of Patricia's father, [They need a last name. I recommend Vandermere.] everything changes. She is left penniless and alone, forced to take up residence with an aunt she has never met. There she takes up the post of gardener, and says goodbye to the dream of a season of her own. [Are her three sisters penniless as well? Or are they already married, in which case Patricia could live with one of them instead of with a complete stranger. Just asking.]
Fate is working in her favor, when by chance she meets and falls in love with Gordon Bray, Earl of Hawksworth. There's just one problem… he doesn't know that she is merely a gardener, and not the lady she has been pretending to be. [I get that when a lady's father died, all his property went to his son(s).

Revised Version
Note to author: use only the red-colored phrase that applies correctly to your novel, and ignore the others. Evil Editor wasn't sure which section of the book the obsessed serial killer was in.
Dear Literary Agent,
I am seeking representation for my novel, Crimson Courtship, a historical romance set in Regency London.
For a young lady in 1815, being presented to "the ton" is the most exciting time of her life. But not for Patricia Vandermere. With the sudden death of her father at the hands of a serial killer obsessed with wiping out his entire family, Patricia is left penniless and alone, forced to take up residence with an aunt she has never met, an aunt who proves to be an obsessed serial killer. There she accepts the post of gardener, and says goodbye to the dream of a season of her own.
Fate is working in her favor, when by chance she meets and falls in love with Gordon Bray, Earl of Hawksworth. There's just one problem… He's an obsessed serial killer. Also, he doesn't know that she is merely a gardener, and not the lady she has been pretending to be. When Gordon discovers the truth, tempers flare and cruel words fly. Will the two of them reconcile and live happily ever after? Or will the obsessed serial killer have the final say?
Crimson Courtship is complete at 92,000 words. It is the first in a series of novels, but unlike most romance series, which seem to focus on groups of men, be they brothers or cousins or obsessed serial killers, this series will tell the stories of the four women of Highgate Manor, and of the obsessed serial killer who stalks them all.
Thank you for your time and consideration. A short synopsis and sample chapter are enclosed; I will be happy to provide additional material upon request.
As you are telling the stories of the women of Highgate Manor, you might mention who the other women of Highgate Manor are, in relation to Patricia. Do any women of Highgate Manor actually live in Highgate Manor now that father is dead?
Has Patricia really said goodbye to the dream of a season of her own? If she has, why is she pretending to be a lady?
Evil Editor hopes there's a serial killer, as without one, there doesn't seem to be much to distinguish this from what Evil Editor imagines other regency romances would be like, if he actually read them.
If you Google "regency romance sisters" you'll find that men do not have exclusivity in regency series.
Selected Comments
Anonymous said...HEE. This was very funny, and also very useful commentary. One side note: how on earth does the woman get a job as a gardener in Regency times? Housemaid, governess, lady's maid, dresser, hatmaker...sure. Gardener? I don't think so. Unless it's just in an 'unpaid drudge' capacity?
BuffySquirrel said...What struck me, reading this query, is that being a lady isn't a matter of MONEY, it's a matter of BIRTH. So even though Patricia is penniless, she's still either a lady or she isn't.
Anonymous said...Of course there is really a serial killer, however, he isn't any of the people mentioned, so I just don't know how to work it in. Is there somewhere in there I can mention the bodies of the young girls that are found without throwing everything else off? You have given me some great ideas and direction. Thanks Evil Editor. (Although I don't really think you're evil.)
Dayna_Hart said...A common theme, EE, is that you are not as truly evil as you would have us believe. That being said, I must agree that "Warmfuzzy Editor" lacks all the zing of "Evil Editor", plus it loses out on the whole alliteration thing. I guess, as one of your ragtag group of Evillettes? Evilles? In any case, I suppose you're going to have to resign yourself to being the "Not So Evil Editor" to us...
Termagant 2 said...Let's see, we can't call you semi-Evil, or partly-Evil (is that like Mostly Harmless?). How about Mid-Evil? Maybe you are channeling a scribe from around the time of the Black Death, living at Syon Priory...
Evil Editor said...If they will refrain from broadcasting it incessantly, Evil Editor will tolerate his original followers finding him only mildly evil.
Carolyn said...Evil Editor, this is the funniest thing I have read in so long. I have gone through most of these letters, though I am saving some to read tomorrow. And perhaps you will have more new ones! I feel I have entered a different and strange universe. I don't know why the people are sending you these particular queries, yet they are, and you respond so funnily, and then it happens again.
Tawny Taylor said...Speaking for everyone (I have such an ego, LOL), we keep posting letters because we can look past EE's his snarky comments about our heroines named Abby and Veronica and our sex-crazed-man-beasts (or whatever it was). EE's giving some fabulous critiques and his revised versions are tight and compelling. How often do writers get this kind of feedback?
Dayna_Hart said...Hey, I like Mostly Harmless. That one works in a big way...
As for why send in query letters?
1) the feedback given is brilliant. (not to inflate your head, EE)
2) the feedback is amusing to read
3) Why not?
4) shredders are expensive.Writerious said...I haven't laughed so hard over good writing advice since the Deluxe Transitive Vampire. I may have to pluck up the courage to send something in, if only for a good laugh. And Lord knows I can use a good laugh these days.

I only ever read Regency romances by Marion Chesney, because she respects research and strives for historical accuracy, and because she tells instead of showing, which gets the whole ordeal over with much more quickly.
(That's an important feature in a genre which pretty much doesn't allow plot twists.)
Her serieses are all about a group of women, never about a group of men. Just sayin'.

How to Turn Preview Thumbnails On or Off in Windows Explorer in Vista
How to Turn Preview Thumbnails On or Off in Windows Explorer in Vista
Last edited by Brink; 22 Apr 2009 at 07:14 AM.
Thanks for the quick response, Shawn. Might I ask why this ability has been removed when it was there in XP? I can see no reason for it and the increase in work times that this causes is horrendous. I have thousands of saved Web pages. The example I posted is a review of a Nikon camera and it goes to 35 pages. This particular review was better than most in that each page of the review had a defining name, but I have many hundreds of saved pages of Computer hardware reviews that are simply named "page 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, etc, etc". I now have to wait whilst each page loads to see which part of the review it refers to, whereas under XP I simply open the folder and immediately have, in the case of the Nikon review, 35 thumbnails. Very large ones too on a 24" monitor.
I really appreciate your response, Shawn, as I have been trawling the Net for weeks over this. There must be thousands of us out here with this problem and there is no respose whatsoever from Microsoft. If it's a security problem, why doesn't MS say so and tell us the reason ? If it is we should surely be given the option of switching it on or off, as we can with UAC.
As a workaround I reboot into XP, open up the relative folder, take a screenshot of the large thumbnails and retain in the same folder. When I am back with Vista I can open the JPG and see what each page is. However, each time I do that I ask myself why the hell do I have to do this? It's crazy.
I guess if you can't come up with a fix, Shawn, nobody can, but it can't be that hard surely ? Maybe Bill can have a go at it for something to do during his retirement !
Thanks again, Shawn.
LOL, I agree Fred.
I have found a program out there that will allow this in Vista, but it will only work with the 32 bit Vista.
Ave's Vista Apps: HTML Thumbnails in Explorer
Thanks, Shawn, but I wasn't joking when I said I've been at this for weeks. I found that site very early on and managed to get that fix into the registry after a bit of trouble, but it didn't work. If it's only for Vista 32, that might explain why, but not really. I had thought that it might be a problem only with Vista 64, so I've already tried on a 32 bit setup. Not Ave's fix but a test to see if the thumbs were there in 32 bit. I also tried it on a Vista business install and a Vista Ultimate. Still no go.
I might add that "preview" in Windows Explorer doesn't work either with web pages. It's Ok with other file types, jpg etc.
You obviously have a lot more contacts than I, so maybe somebody can at least tell me why we have this major omission in Vista.
I appreciate your attempts to help, Shawn and in particular the fact that I get sent an email when there is a response. I've joined so many Forums over the last few weeks that I've lost track of who is who. I've saved all the Web pages I've visited but that only rubs this problem in as when I open the folder where I saved them I have a load of pretty meaningless URL pages each with a generic Icon ( unless I boot into XP again !)
Thanks again, Shawn.
Yep, I can confirm it. All thumbnails views for the .htm, .html, .mht, and .mhtml file types have been removed in Vista for security purposes. The only way to see previews of them is with using the Preview Pane in Vista, and maybe with that program for the 32 bit Vista.
thanks to you for good exposition of the subject matter.
Your welcome Cmanmohan.
I like to keep the suspense up until ending it with a solution.
Thanks for that, Shawn, but like I said, "preview" doesn't work either with Web pages.
I was the first amongst a whole bunch of people here to switch to Vista and that was mainly 'cos I had to have it to run MS FSX Flight Sim. In fact it was the only reason really, plus building a new high end setup. I am already very peeved at not being able to use either of my two Scanners, one being an HP flatbed and the other a very expensive slide and negative scanner. Neither HP or MS would come to the party with drivers for them. That was the only reason that I kept XP up to date.
I shall now go back to XP as my main Operating system and relegate Vista to the backup and use it only for Flight Sim work. I shall also tell all of my friends to stay with XP. I am really, really upset by this, Shawn. No reflection on your goodself intended of course, but I can't be satisfied by a "security" excuse from MS unless I get chapter and verse on this. It has taken me weeks of effort to arrive at this negative outcome. I have just this week watched "Pirates of Silicon Valley."
"Pirates of Seattle" could just be their Epitaph in years to come.
Thanks for the info, Shawn.
Sorry, I misundertood that part. You should be able to see the .htm, .html, .mht, and .mhtml file types in the Preview Pane. I see them fine in mine when I highlight one of these file types.
Double check that you have the Preview Pane set properly. This tutorial will help show you the settings to check.
Preview Pane in Vista Windows Explorer
Next, make sure that Internet Explorer is set as the default program with all of it's associations set to it. This tutorial will show you how to if needed.
Default Programs - Program Default Associations
Hope this helps,
Sorry, Shawn but Web bpages do not show up as previews in Vista explorer ! Here are two Screenies. As you can see, the JPG shows but the ".MHT" does not. I had already followed the instrutions in your excellent tutorial and all of my settings are as instructed. I found your site early in the piece and had already tried everything listed.
My last idea is to install "Firefox" and see if that is an answer. It's nearly 2:00AM here so I'm off to bed . Any other ideas to get previews in explorer would be appreciated. How about posting a Screenie showing this Web page as a preview in Explorer in your setup ? If I see that I'll keep trying but I don't believe it's possible.
Night, night, Shawn.
Sorry Fred,
I think you may have misunderstood what I meant with previews. There are no thumbnail previews of the .htm, .html, .mht, and .mhtml file types in Vista, but you can see a preview of these files in the Preview Pane instead. I attached a screenshot of this webpage saved as a .mht file being viewed in the Preview Pane.

THERMO, Texas (AP) - Six workers at an idle coal mine in East Texas have suffered burns from falling debris amid preparations to resume operations this fall.
Owner Luminant says five employees were in stable condition Thursday at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas.
The sixth worker injured in Wednesday's accident in Thermo, 80 miles northeast of Dallas, was treated and released from a hospital in Sulphur Springs.
Hopkins County Fire Department Chief Kevin Yates says hot ash and burning embers fell on the workers.
Luminant says the unit has been inactive for months. The employees were near an out-of-service lignite storage silo where they unexpectedly came in contact with "hot debris." The workers sustained hand and leg burns.
The accident has been reported to federal safety officials.

Planning to start a business? Do you love Perth bathrooms and love to create your own Perth bathroom design?If you are, then consider running a company that offers bathroom renovation services. In Perth, several customers are looking for trustworthy service providers that can help remodel their bathrooms.
You can have establishments and homeowners as your target market. But how can guarantee a quality service? Let's figure out!
- Hire competent workers. Employees, competent ones to be specific, mean a lot to every company. Without them, your business will go bust. Hence, it only makes sense that you give time in hiring workers that will represent your services. Conduct a job fair and prepare questions for interviews that would identify whether an applicant is a fit to your business or not.
- Training is important. As a start-up company, you and your employees should attend trainings that would develop skills on bathroom design Perth and help your company grow. If this is too expensive for you, conduct a training session within the group. You can always get some tips and strategies online that would help the training to be successful.
- Define your culture. As a company, you should follow a certain culture that your team will live by. Define what you believe in to becoming successful as a group and instill it to your employees. Everyone in your team should have a clear picture about the business and what you are offering to the market.
Getting into any kind of business can be very daunting especially in the field of bathroom renovations where the competition is very high. But if you want to beat anyone in the same industry, you should offer nothing but quality service at a reasonable rate.

Judge: Texas school finance is unconstitutional
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) A district court judge has ruled that the tax system Texas uses to finance public schools is unconstitutional.
Judge John Dietz ruled in favor of more than 600 school districts responsible for educating three-quarters of the state's 5 million-plus public school students.
After a trial that took more than three months, Dietz determined the Legislature has not adequately funded schools as required under the Texas Constitution. In 2011, the Legislature cut $5.4 billion in funding by rewriting the formula used to distribute state money.
Dietz ruled from the bench and is expected to provide a detailed opinion later. The attorney general's office is expected to appeal the case to the Texas Supreme Court.
Scout families deliver petition on no-gay policy
IRVING, Texas (AP) Scouts and their families have delivered a petition to the Boy Scouts of America headquarters urging an end to a policy banning gay scouts and leaders from the organization.
They say the petition delivered Monday in Irving, Texas, includes 1.4 million signatures. Scouting leaders are expected to consider ending the ban during a three-day meeting this week.
Jennifer Tyrrell was among the dozen people who delivered the petition. Tyrrell says she was forced out as leader of her son's Cub Scout pack because she's gay, and she doesn't want to see any other parents treated in the same way.
She says the policy is "archaic" and needs to change.
The families were waiting for a representative of Boy Scouts of America to come and accept their petition.
Records: Iraq War vet had been in mental hospital
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) The Iraq War veteran charged with killing a former Navy SEAL sniper and his friend on a Texas shooting range had been taken to a mental hospital twice in the past four months.
Lancaster police records show 25-year-old Eddie Ray Routh was taken to a mental hospital in September after threatening to kill his family and then commit suicide. Routh told authorities then that he was a Marine veteran who was suffering from PTSD.
The Dallas Morning News reports that police records show Routh was taken back to the same mental hospital in mid-January after a woman called police and said she feared for Routh's safety.
Routh is charged with one count of capital murder and two counts of murder in Saturday's shooting deaths of Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield.
North Texas man found guilty in mutilation attack
(Information in the following story is from: The Dallas Morning News, http://www.dallasnews.com)
DALLAS (AP) A Dallas-area man has been found guilty in a 2011 mutilation attack that left his former girlfriend needing more than 500 stitches.
The Dallas Morning News reports Jose Arreola faces up to life in prison. A district court jury began deliberating his punishment Monday, shortly after convicting him of aggravated sexual assault.
The woman had testified that Arreola first attacked her in 2009. He was free on bail when he raped and sexually mutilated her in March 2011.
Arreola had argued that the woman was the aggressor in earlier fights. He testified she drank heavily and had repeatedly attacked him with knives.
Dallas County Assistant District Attorney Brandie Wade called Arreola's claims "fantastical" during closing arguments Monday morning.
Fort Bliss credits training for drop in suicides
EL PASO, Texas (AP) The commander of Fort Bliss says the suicide rate at the West Texas base has dropped at a time it has risen dramatically throughout the Army.
Maj. Gen. Dana Pittard says the number of suicides dropped from seven in 2011 to five last year.
The national rate rose by 13 percent over the same period. There were 247 confirmed suicides with another 78 under investigation.
Pittard says a broad training initiative has prompted a culture change at the base. He says soldiers no longer see a request for help as weakness or an impediment to their career.
Pittard says Fort Bliss leads military installations in training soldiers to intervene when detecting suicidal thoughts in their peers. He says 30 percent of soldiers at Fort Bliss have undergone the training.
Perry airs radio ads to attract Calif businesses
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) Texas Gov. Rick Perry is airing radio ads in California to convince companies there to relocate to the Lone Star state.
A public-private marketing partnership called TexasOne is paying for the 30-second advertisement that touts the state's low taxes and industry-friendly regulations along with strict limits on lawsuits.
In the ad, Perry says that he hears "building a business in California is next to impossible." He calls on California businesses to "come check out Texas."
The ads will air in the San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Inland Empire and San Diego media markets for a week.
Perry regularly travels to California to convince companies to move their operations to Texas. The governor likes to brag that Texas has the fastest growing job market in the nation.

The botanical garden is located in the very heart of Belgrade, within the territory of the Stari grad municipality, between the Despot Stefan Boulevard and the Takovska, Dalmatinska, Palmotićeva and Vojvode Dobrnjca streets.
It covers an area of 5 hectares and is part of the Faculty of Biology of the University of Belgrade. The open environment contains approximately 300 trees and bushes of local, European and exotic varieties. The garden is a category II natural treasure and is protected as a cultural monument.
This beautiful green ambient is also home to a greenhouse, as well as the Library of the Institute of Botany, the Herbarium, lecture halls and laboratories. The greenhouse was built in 1892 (approximately 500 m²) and it was one of the largest and most beautiful in this part of Europe at the time. Nearly 1,000 tropical and subtropical plant species are being raised there. Due to its architectural value the glasshouse is protected by law. The botanical garden is open to visitors between 9 AM and 7 PM. The address is Takovska 43.
