Participle question

[dudeapathy.livejournal.com]

I'm in my fourth year and still trying to understand how participles work...

Is it possible to have participles strung together in a sentence? For example, could one say:
"Проходя мимо кафе я замечаю то, что книгу читаемую мальчиком сидящий в углу, одна из моих любимых", which uses both active and passive participles? Would a sentence like that make sense?

Please note that "well Russian" can be roughly translated as "колодезный русский" (and not as "good Russian" which you probably attempted to put in it.)
I prefer anything to колодезный русский, you know :)

As of my personal experience, I can assure you it is exactly in Russian, as I am a writing editor by profession (and also a writer who has four published books.) Please do not misguide people in an educational community with weird concepts.

Just FYI:
1. "well" here = is healthy and not not ill.
2. a professional who study a language called linguist, not an editor. Good educated linguist should never confuse that different things.

Again, please stop a. pointless flame and b. misinterprete obvious things. Copy editing, media editing, media writing, and other kinds of applicable linguistics all include a very good deal of language study, especially at Moscow State; the Russian Stylistics dept. (Dr. Rosenthal's) - кафедра стилистики русского языка - is regarded as the core element of education at Moscow State's School of Journalism. Sorry you obviously didn't know such basic things. It would be really nice if you distract from the meaningless stuff you write here for the sake of a good book about Russian stylistics. I especially recommend the following two, Д.Э.Розенталь "Практическая стилистика русского языка" (М., 1997) and И.Б.Голуб "Стилистика русского языка" (same year and location) -- the classic textbooks on the subject. Both easy to get through University bookstores or Akademkniga throughout the city.

Sorry, but Philological Faculty and Faculty of Journalism are different faculties at Moscow State, so forcing your education in journalism as an authority in linguistic dispute is so ridiculous. You should started with citation from linguists.

I should have started with quotations from the most advanced scholar on the subject, who happened to teach not at the Philology School, but at the School of Journalism -- where the Russian Stylistics department was, back in the 1980s when I studied there, the foremost school in this exact field. Philology at that time had strong Romance-Germanic and Slavic Studies departments, but Russian as Foreign and expecially Modern Russian departments were relatively weak there. It's like physics: if you wanted to be in the topmost school, you would never enter Moscow State's Physics School, but PhisTech or Physics Engineering (MIFI) instead.
