Freelance Writing Tips: Residual Income Sites
by aunice1
The thing about up-front pay writing, is that typically after you are paid that ONE time, that's it. That is all you are going to make on that particular piece of work.
Residual income sites are those which allow people to write on any topic they want and keep getting paid from it according to the traffic articles get, affiliate products they sell and ads clicked on. But if you're like most writers, you tend to focus more on your up-front paying work, that which comes upon delivery of goods. It is however, a very good idea to be certain to make residual paying work a top priority. You might be leaving a nice chunk of income on the table.
Why You Should Write for Sites Offering Residuals
You've got other writing assignments to keep you busy, no doubt, not to mention your own writing projects for which you are guaranteed payment, if done per client instructions. The thing about up-front writing though, is that typically after you are paid that ONE time, that's it. That is all you are going to make on that piece of work. And most of the time, the client buys total rights to the content. They use it as if they wrote the article and you no longer maintain control of it. But, for work that is paid via residual modes: affiliates, your own products, referring new writers, adsense and the like, there's more ways to earn from it and even while you sleep. So what if its only a few cents per day, that adds up, particularly when you multiply that several times. While your writing for other up-front paying clients, your articles are still making you money.
Not All Residual Sites are Worth Writing For
When choosing a residual site to set your articles on, do so wisely. Sites do come, go and change like the wind. Choose solid companies that have been around for awhile and aren't constantly transforming their earning policy. Pay close attention to how sites split the revenues with writers, especially affiliate income. For instance, sometimes sites allow writers to keep all income made from Amazon product sells, but then later decide to keep it all for themselves. It is important to keep abreast of changes that occur as it may be beneficial for you to actually move your work elsewhere. It just depends on what works best for you.
Testing the Waters; Protect Your Content
Test out new residual earning sites by limiting the amount of work you place there. You could test out a number of articles and monitor the results. Those sites that seem to perform better for you, concentrate your efforts there, paying close attention to what you are doing so you know what works.
It is also essential to protect your work. Know what rights you are giving the site by placing your content there. Do they expect to have full rights to your content? For how long? Writers frequently place content on a site only to abandon it. Sites go out of business all of the time and you don't want to loose all your content in the process. Check on the progress of your articles and if they don't seem to be earning, consider moving them elsewhere.

Nuclear industry pundits, propagandists, and astroturfers would like you to believe that the health and environmental effects of catastrophes such as Chernobyl are insignificant. Reality is that the health effects are much larger than the industry and its supporters will admit.
The New York Academy of Sciences published a study by renowned scientists that compiles thousands of studies completed mainly in Slavic that the UN's groups ignored due to politics and a lack of independence from nuclear industry influence. It's a landmark work that I recommend everyone interested read.
The authors show that to date more than one million deaths have occurred due to the Chernobyl nuclear radiation catastrophe. This is far more than the tiny numbers claimed by the nuclear industry. Further, the other health effects are enormous. Childhood disease, birth defects, and numerous other health effects have devastated vast areas in the Ukraine and Belarus.
The health effects of Chernobyl and, unfortunately, Fukushima will haunt the world for generations to come.
Here is the PDF of the book for your convenience:
Professor Karl Grossman interviewed the consulting editor, Janette D. Sherman-Nevinger regarding the study on his excellent television program. If you are not up to reading the entire study, I do recommend you watch this video:

"Allison tells everyone about her wish and about how special she felt"
Only a few hours after Allison was born, her parents discovered that she could not tolerate formula. Weeks later, doctors reported that she was suffering from severe reflux, necessitating an NG tube and diagnosed her with failure to thrive. At that point, she had already had four sets of tubes put in her ears, but the reflux was still eating away at her eardrum. Her doctors decided to perform a surgical procedure on the young girl to treat gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernia surgery to tie off the upper portion of her stomach at the lower end of her esophagus.
When Allison was older, she had to have the same surgeries repeated when her doctors found that she had herniated since the last time they operated, causing her to experience agonizing pain and to lose a significant amount of weight. After continued stomach issues and countless tests, Allison was finally diagnosed with Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome, a digestive condition that occurs when the first part of the small intestine is compressed between two arteries (the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery). Allison is a brave and determined girl who adores reading, baking, and spending time with her big brother. Unfortunately, due to the nature of her lifelong illness, Allison has often had to forgo the activities she enjoys most. Her favorite pastimes include swimming in the ocean and collecting shells on the beach.
Kids Wish Network wanted to give Allison her dream and send her to the Florida Keys so she could swim in the breathtaking clear blue waters of the islands and do all sorts of amazing activities that are only found in that part of the world. Many generous donors and sponsors worked with Kids Wish Network to make Allison's dream a reality.
During her wish, Allison and her family stayed at the beautiful and accommodating Ocean Reef Club. The Ocean Reef Club was so kind as to provide a few different aspects to Allison's wish, including fun and sun at the Ocean Reef Club's Buccaneer Island, delicious meals at the Ocean Reef Restaurant and the Ocean Reef Club's Palm Court Restaurant, and even some time of pampering courtesy of The Spa at Ocean Reef.
Allison was also treated to several fun-filled activities including exploring the beauty at the Key West Butterfly & Nature Conservatory, snorkeling in the beautiful underwater world while on the Fury Water Adventure, watching the impressive sea lion show at the Theater of the Sea, and exploring the odd and unusual at the Ripley's Believe It Or Not Odditorium. The family was also provided wonderful meals courtesy of the charming Kermit's Key West Key Lime Shoppe, the stunning Sundowners, and the innovative Atlantic Edge Restaurant.
Allison and her family felt so grateful for the wish and felt blessed about how much of a positive experience it was for their whole family. Allison's mother, Kathleen stated, "We would never have been able to do this trip without Kids Wish Network's help. Our family bond was made stronger by being able to not worry for five days."

Yep, exactly what I did with this one too.Shame that RBR gave away that win. Very disappointed for Ricciardo. I usually leave these races on my DVR until the next race, but I just deleted it right after it was over.

"Step father" decided to bring his snobby kids once again, this time for a whoile fucking week. Now I have to take care of his bitchy daughter who now lives here but I got to take care of two other snobby kids like I don't have a fucking life of my own. I wasn't even asked to take care of them, I just have to. I had shit I was going to do this week and had to cancel everything. I'm really starting to get fed up of this. Fuck them, they're lazy pieces of shit that just want, want with no consideration towards other people, just like their father. On top of that I have the asshat calling at 6:30am bugging me about his kids as if I gave a single shit about them(or him for that matter), now I can't even fall back asleep, so aggravated right now.

Yay for Steam
Finally steam got something I want to buy, I picked up Tomb Raider, I was going to pick up hitman but I think I won't be able to pick it up today so I'll have to wait till it goes on sale again. Also, Elder Scrolls Online is awesome, don't want to talk about it though since the NDA and all.
Woo I got in the Elder Scrolls Online Beta!
Oh joy, while I was handling some paper work for school and donating blood(yes, had a "busy" day) I got an email on the train ride home saying I'm invited to the ESO beta this weekend! Well, looks like I know what I'll be doing 🙂 Only problem is that the email doesn't have a beta key or a way to download the launcher. I sent in a ticket, hopefully I can get that solved before the beta starts. I'm really interested to see how the game plays out. I'm hoping when the game does come out its a a one time pay like Guild Wars 2. I have literally zero intentions of paying full price for a game then 10-15 a month after that. Why anyone would willingly do that is beyond my understanding. Plus f2p always, ALWAYS end up being pay to win eventually. Sure, a game with a one time payment + cash shop might also do that but I have more faith in that pricing model that F2P. So while I wait on that reply from them I'll go back to Persona 4 Golden, beat that fucking bear that takes forever and a day to run out of HP.
God dammit! 40 minutes of my life down the drain! I'm playing Persona 4 Golden having a blast till I get up to Shadow Teddie. He's not hard, in fact he's pretty easy(I'm level 39). The only problem is the damn thing has too much health and the fight drags on way too much. Just when I'm about to land the finishing blow he lands a critical on the main character and strikes him again killing him in the process. I just turned off the game at that point. Damn man, that shit takes too much time. It wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't game over as soon as the main character dies, I hate when games do that. Like I don't have 3 other squad mates who can't bring me back, hell, Yukkiko has a spell to bring allies back to life. It's not like the character is dead once they're out of HP like in Dragon Quest, cause right after a fight any KO'd allies have 1 HP right after the battle. ._. I'm going to go watch TV or something, I'll just beat him tomorrow.
Back in the Game!
Yea!! My hard drive actually arrived nearly 5 days earlier than expected! Lucky for me, it was shipped from NY so I ended up getting it the same day it was shipped(yesterday). I've been setting up all my files up again. I was planning on playing The Witcher 2 once I got my hard drive but I think I'll just continue focusing on Persona 4 Golden, I'm having way too much fun with it. Then after that I'll head on to Xcom Enemy Unkown which I got from Playstation Plus.
I got to try out Sonic All Star Racing Transformed. Luckily the free to play weekend is still going on. It's pretty fun, I would've bought it would stop being a jerk and work with x360ce, it won't even open up when I put the files in the folder. 😦 I mean I can play it but its annoying since I cant pause the races unless I go back to my keyboard plus the menu controls are all wonky. Needless to say, I'll pick it up once it gets cheaper(I'm a cheap bastard).
Oh yea, I've also saw Man of Steel a day or two ago, and its was… alright I guess. Not a fan of Super Man so my expectations were extremely low. Overall I guess I'd give it a 7/10. It's the only time Super Man has ever looked even a bit interesting to me, but even then its not like the movie changed my opinion about him. Until next time, tomorrow I'm heading over to my college so my advisor can help me get my stuff in order for Brooklyn College(yea, they FINALLY sent me a letter, yay!)
RIP Hard Drive
Well, thats it folks, my hard drive has died on me. I was about to back up a bit more files before this would happen but guess I was too late. It's not all that bad though, I saved a majority of what I wanted. I ordered a 1TB hard drive instead of 2 that way I can save some money for the Steam Sale. Greenmangaming Had DmC for like $12 when you added the 25% off coupon but it's not working any more so I'll just pass until it goes back to that price on some other website. My hard drive arrives next week so no Witcher 2 for me till that time. Just when I was finally starting to get the hang of the game too :P. I guess I'll use the time to catch up on some of my PS3 backlog and continue playing Persona 4 Golden. They added Battlefield 3 to PS+ yesterday so I'm playing a bit of that. I'm complete garbage at it, that's why I originally sold it but eh what the hell, its still a pretty fun game anyway.
RIP Hard Drive, you had a very short life(less than a year) but you did a great job in your short time alive, hopefully your successor ends up being better than you.
My hard drive is dying!! it makes an irritating clicking sound every now and then and when it does it my pc starts to slow down tremendously. I'm currently backing up files, you know the important shit. School work, short stories I've typed, some funny gifs and pictures, game saves, and my Fallout New Vegas file. I really hope I don't lose all my mods. It was such a pain in the ass when I switched over from my laptop to a PC. Had to redownload everything because for some reason my NV would crash all the time. This time I'm copying over my Nexus mod manager and my NV folder.
It sucks that my hard drive is dying though, I haven't even had it for a year well, I'm going to look around Amazon or Newegg and see what I can find. Thinking of getting a 2TB Western Digital HDD. I hear it's a good brand, hopefully it doesn't crap out on me in less than a year like this one did >_>. I was planning on starting my Witcher 2 playthough today, guess that'll go on hold. Plus, I don't think I'll be purchasing anything this summer during the Steam sale since most likely I'll end up spending my entire steam budget on a new hard drive 😦 Guess I'll have to wait till the winter; maybe I can get some of the money from my aunt who owes me like $1.5k(it's a long story, don't ask.) and I might be able to still buy stuff. I don't know, we'll see.

Research Projects of All Chairs
Innovative Coring Concept for Exploration Drilling Drilling
Among the industry, is currently accepted that improper retrieval schedule of the core from bottom to the surface can result in either slow tripping speeds or the detrimental irreversible core damage due to the creation of microfractures.
The latter which is well-known as the gas-expansion core damage, is in reality worse as the core is not representative of the formation. In either case, high costs are incurred to the operators.
The primary aim of the project is to understand the mechanism of creation of the gas-expansion induced microfractures. To accomplish this, the essential macro and micro models are developed. In addition, using the results of the models, the core tripping process will be optimized based on the affecting factors including the core lithology, rock and fluid properties, etc.
Analysis of Drill String Dynamic Behavior
Vibrations are caused by bit and drill string interaction with formations under certain drilling conditions. They are known as destructive loads and thus are leading to downhole fatigue failures, severe bottom hole assembly and bit wear and may cause wellbore instabilities. Vibrations are affected by different parameters such as weight on bit, rotary speed, mud properties, bottom hole assembly and bit design as well as formation characteristics.
In this work the relationship between formation characteristics and drill string vibrations in a laboratory scale have been studied. Non-linear models have also been built to establish a relationship between different parameters. A fully automated laboratory scale drilling rig, the CDC miniRig, was used to conduct experimental tests. A vibration sensor sub attached to the drill string, above the bit, recorded the drill string vibrations during the tests and additional sensors recorded the drilling parameters.
It is concluded that the formations can be recognized in real-time by analyzing vibration measurements. This allows to differentiate individual layers with different strengths.
CFD Analysis of Gas Kick Scenarios
A gas-kick is a fundamentally transient event accompanied by many unknowns. Common approaches in kick modeling are based on the assumption of a more or less single "gas bubble" present in the annulus and slowly migrating upwards after shut-in. While this assumption satisfies straightforward volumetric well control aspects, it ignores species transport and chemical reaction kinetics leading to drill string corrosion.
The intention in this project was to make no a-priory assumptions regarding the evolving flow field. Instead focus was put on a spatially highly resolved model covering the near bottom-hole section of the wellbore where two-phase interactions could be observed at a close-up view.
The project illustrates the value of CFD simulations to verify flow conditions and to support the design process of new measurement tools for early kick detection.
Error Analysis and Estimation of Real-Time Drilling Data and Operations
Error Analysis and Estimation of Real-Time Drilling Data and Operations
In modern society, digitalization is the key to a company's survival. Many oil and gas companies are currently implementing digitalization initiatives, but struggle to leverage the full potential of the technology. To do so, a holistic understanding of the complex interactions and dependencies of all involved technologies and operations is required. Therefore an in-depth process chain analysis from initial planning to the final decision making is carried out to identify the shortcommings of the current design and to develop comprehensive solutions.
Real Time Wellbore Instability Detection using Ultrasonic
Drilling programs continue to push into new and more complex environments. As a result, accurate measurements of drilling data in real time are becoming more critical by means of minimizing the risks as well as the costs. The determination of the actual wellbore shape in real-time can be considered as one of the key components to detect problems such as borehole instability.
The scope of this project was to develop an ultrasonic caliper tool for borehole geometrical measurement and developing an additional ultrasonic sensor to record the speed of sound in the drilling fluid at the desired depth. Measurements were performed in artificial wellbores with geometrical anomalies.
Numerical simulation of the measurements and comparison of the simulated results gave estimations how accurate the data was. It could be shown that anomalies can be detected with an appropriate accuracy if circle fitting methods in combination with robust error models are applied.
Surface Kick and Loss Events Detection
It is agreed that mitigating the impact of the kick and lost circulation on the drilling operation requires an efficient system, which helps to detect the kick and losses as early as possible to be able to take the necessary action on time. Continuously monitoring the drilling fluid surface and velocity inside the bell nipple might be the quickest surface measurement to detect loss and kick events.
Therefore, the main objective of this project is to develop a new concept for detecting kick and loss in the shortest possible time by using the bell nipple as a place to install the required instruments and measure the related parameters.
Long-term Cement Integrity
Justified by reported incidents, the role of wellbore cement being a competent barrier for up-hole hydrocarbon flow is questioned in many cases. In particular it is not clear whether the integrity of the bond and seal between cement and formation or cement and steel-casing is given over the life-cycle of well operations and beyond.
This research intends to find answers to possible destructive consequences of different life-time loads by studying the effects of casing micro movements, chemical interactions and corrosion and operational induced shock loads. To achieve this goal, special test procedures and equipment will be developed and experiments are to be conducted. The experimental observations will be compared to finite element / finite differences modeling results for validation.
The outcome of this research will allow to classify the risk of mature wellbores to develop integrity issues and to provide suggestions to avoid cement barriere failures.
Operations Optimization for Shale Assets
Shale gas and oil projects require large drilling campaigns: This includes drilling numerous wells continuously for a sustained production. The major change in the industry was to go from "handmade" to a "mass market" of wells. This requires an entirely different approach to optimize operations for an entire field.
This research targets exactly the optimization of all the operations by integrating all the disciplines from land, drilling, completion, production and logistics and finding the best possible way and means for this "factory" to operate efficiently.
BEER: Bio Enhanced Energy Recovery
Bio Enhanced Energy Recovery is a system developed by the Chair in cooperation with leading industry partners in Austria and Germany. BEER represents the solution on the imminent needs for environmentally conscious energy recovery methods in geothermal reservoirs. All applied components are non-hazardous and most are even used within farming and food industries.
BEER is currently undergoing the first field tests and results will become available soon. The BEER technology is based on numerous pending patents.
SCALING: Ways to Reduce Production Limitations
Scaling is one of the most problematic issues with energy production from reservoirs. Originating from hydrocarbons, formation waters, or from combinations of fluids, salts, and bacteria form barriers which reduce or stop the energy flow to the surface. Not only subsurface installations are affected, but surface installations as well.
The researchers of the Chair focus on applying physics rather than chemistry with significant success. This is not only positively influencing the production performance, it is also contributing to increased environmental care and reduced CO2 footprints.
ThermoDrill: A Novel System for Geothermal Projects
Costs of erecting wells for Deep Geothermal Applications represent a major part of the overall investment. Particularly when facing hard, crystalline rocks, the ROP becomes very low. To allow for better performance and such for easier risk assessment, an innovative technology is developed to provide much higher ROPs.
A combination of the rotary drilling technology with jetting technologies offers great opportunities for improving the drilling performance and reducing the need for fracturing.
Pump Testing Facility
Low oil prices push the demand for efficient production, especially in mature fields. Reducing the costs of artificial lifting by increasing efficiency is mandatory for extending meantime between failure, economic limit and increasing recovery factor.
For achieving these goals the Pump Testing Facility was established, to allow low risk, low cost, and high performance testing of new technologies, including various artificial lift systems. Montanuniversität Leoben constructed this facility to overcome the enormous field testing costs and to speed up innovation. The testing facility is able to test oil field equipment under conditions occurring in depths up to 500m.
As an integral part of the chair's research programs, new technologies, self-developments and patents will be tested before being applied in fields. The pump testing facility is used to provide services to the industry and to test according to industry needs. In close cooperation with the industry, this pump testing facility will be expanded to cover more special operational modes and events that may occur in the field.
CO2 Sequestration
In the project we focus on the coupling of flow and geomechanics in naturally fractured reservoirs. The final goal is to model CO2 injection in fractured reservoirs with pre-existing faults and to estimate the effect of mechanics on flow and on storage capacity as well as estimating the risk of leakage and fault activation.
Underground Hydrogen Storage
Underground hydrogen storage is a promising way to store excess renewable energy with sufficient storage capacity. The Reservoir Engineering group participates in a pilot project assessing the feasibility of large-scale hydrogen storage in a depleeted gas field in Upper Austria. Our aim is to assess chemical interactions between the reservoir and the injected hydrogen/methane mixture and to simulate the injection and production processes in order to predict the quality of the backproduced gas. For the future we plan to extend the study to microbial activity and its impact on hydrogen storage and conversion operations.
Development of Low-cost EOR Methods
We develop a combined experimental/numerical workflow to provide solutions for Improved & Enhanced Oil Recovery (IOR/EOR). We aim for fundamental understanding of IOR/EOR methods across the scales (from the pore to field scale) and for solutions tailored to the development of individual fields. For this purpose we currently establish a laboratory for the investigation of interfacial properties (fluid-fluid and rock-fluid) and core flooding supported by Imaging methods such as micro and medical Computerized Tomography. In parallel we develop the numerical tools that are neeted for data interpretation and upscaling, resulting in a combined numerical/experimental workflow.
Wavelet-based Multiresolution Upscaling of Porous Media
We utilize the multiresolution framework of wavelet analysis that has been developed for image processing in order to develop a novel method for numerical upscaling of porous media flow. For this, equivalent rock properties are generated from the geologic fine-scale models via wavelet analysis making use of structured and unstructured grid representations. The wavelet method is well suited for upscaling rock properties and especially if spatially correlated heterogeneity is present. With this project we aim to significantly improve the performance of numerical upscaling with respect to accuracy and computational costs.

What is Market Depth
Market depth is the market's ability to sustain relatively large market orders without impacting the price of the security. Market depth considers the overall level and breadth of open orders and usually refers to trading within an individual security.
BREAKING DOWN Market Depth
Market depth is closely related to liquidity and volume within a security, but does not mean that every stock showing a high volume of trades has good market depth. On any given day there may be an imbalance of orders large enough to create high volatility, even for stocks with the highest daily volumes. The decimalization of ticks on the major U.S. exchanges has been said to increase overall market depth, as evidenced by the decreased importance of market makers, a position needed in the past to prevent order imbalances.
Market depth is a property of the orders that are contained in the limit order book at a given time. It is the amount that will be traded for a limit order with a given price (if it is not limited by size), or the least favorable price that will be obtained by a market order with a given size (or a limit order that is limited by size and not price). Although a change in price may in turn attract subsequent orders, this is not included in market depth since it is not known.
For example, if the market for a stock is "deep", there will be a sufficient volume of pending orders on both the bid and ask side, preventing a large order from significantly moving the price.
Depth of market also refers to the number of shares, which can be bought of a particular corporation, without causing price appreciation. If the stock is extremely liquid and has a large number of buyers and sellers, purchasing a bulk of shares typically will not result in noticeable stock price movements.
Market depth usually exists in the form of an electronic list of buy and sell orders; these are organized by price level and updated in real time to reflect current activity. While at times, the data is available for a fee, most trading platforms now offer some form of market depth display. This allows all parties trading in a security to see a full list of buy and sell orders pending execution, along with their sizes—instead of simply the
How Traders Use Market Depth Data
Market depth data helps traders determine where the price of a particular security could be heading. For example, a trader may use market depth data to understand the bid-ask spread for a security, along with the volume accumulating above both figures. Securities with strong market depth will usually have strong volume and be quite liquid, allowing traders to place large orders without significantly affecting market price. Meanwhile, securities with poor depth could be moved if a buy or sell order is lar
Real-time market depth data allows traders to profit from short-term price volatility. For example, if a company goes public (begins trading for the first time), traders can stand by for strong buying demand, signaling the price of the newly public firm could continue an upward t

NEWS of Quebec's potential ''secession'' from Canada took the US by storm. Many American commentators were puzzled by the driving forces behind Quebeckers' desire to alter their ties with Canada.
Yet, there was nothing sudden or mysterious about the process that led to the referendum. For the last 40 years, there have been two competing nation-building processes at work in Canada. In English Canada, the federal government expended energy developing a Canadian identity to replace the old one that was tied to the British Empire, and to set itself apart from the United States.
In the process, Canadians have built an impressive set of symbols and programs. Today, Canada presents itself as a multicultural nation in which Quebec stands as one province among others.
Meanwhile, a parallel dynamic took place in Quebec. Disappointed by the failure of the ''Canadian dream'' of a bicultural country from coast to coast (French language institutes were not officially supported in most provinces), French Canadians saw their best hope of survival resting with the development of a state and institutions for Quebec. In the process, Quebeckers have built institutions and practices that are unique to North America; the difference goes beyond language. Far from being ''provincial,'' Quebec's distinctiveness has made it the strongest proponent of free trade in Canada.
Inevitably, these two different nation-building processes clashed as the federal government gradually encroached upon areas that the founding act of Canada deemed to be of provincial jurisdiction, such as health, education, welfare, and natural resources.
Government invasion
For Quebec, the invasion of these key domains by the federal government was a breach of the original understanding of how Canada was organized. Thus ensued endless constitutional talks to try to accommodate Quebec's desire for greater autonomy and cultural recognition.
In the midst of the first referendum on Quebec's sovereignty, in 1980, then-Prime Minister of Canada Pierre Elliot-Trudeau promised that a ''no'' vote would mean a new, decentralized Canadian federation. Quebeckers took him at his word. The federal government and nine provinces then proceeded to change the Constitution in a manner not only diametrically opposed to the spirit of the 1980 pledge, but in a way that went against the will of a majority of Quebeckers. At the National Assembly in Quebec City, all parties called on the rest of the country not to proceed, but in vain.
Since 1982, Quebeckers have been living under a constitutional order they have never endorsed, and with which a majority still disagrees. The Constitution denies them what they always took as a given - that they constitute a distinct nation, one that deserves legal recognition.
The Meech Lake Accord (1987) and Charlottetown Agreement (1992) were two failed attempts to bring Quebec back in the Canadian fold. Yet each round of constitutional talks seemed to compound the initial problem. Until the past few weeks, a majority of Canadians were in no mood to accommodate even the most minimal of Quebeckers' grievances. Prime Minister Jean Chretien's staunch refusal to commit his government to any reform of the Canadian federation, even down to the last nail-biting days of the campaign, was reflective of this prevailing mood.
Something to think about
The victory of the ''no'' campaign by a meager 50,000-vote margin on a total of nearly 5 million votes will give Mr. Chretien and the rest of Canada something to think about. No longer can Quebec's desire for recognition and autonomy be ignored. Quebec will not agree to remain a mere province of another nation. Canadians have to accept this. Their country's second lease on life depends on it.

Have you ever been to a job interview and just didn't fancy it?
Does the reality of what it might be like match your earlier expectations?
So far, BBC's Apprentice has only really considered things from Lord Sugar's perspective. It's assumed that all the candidates really want to win, and by and large they do.
But, and it's a big "but", what happens when you get three-quarters of the way through and discover you are running out of energy?
This was Natasha Scribbin's admission following her "firing" this week. In fact, when questioned, she was down to about 30%.
Who is to say Natasha didn't have what it takes to partner with Lord Sugar and be successful? I was certainly impressed with her determination. But was it really for her?
The lack of energy, is a big clue. Certainly there are many other causes, but the one of the biggest drains on our energy, is a lack of "fit" with the role we are in.
And I don't think anyone goes into this process half-hearted either. Far from it. But to me the image of life inside is probably a long way from reality.
Using examples from the final four and Natasha, here's some suggestions of what "reality" will mean:
- Natasha: You'll be required to work effectively with some people you don't much care for. You can't just switch off.
- Jim: To have a silken tongue is a mixed blessing. You'll need to rely on a steady stream of good business ideas too.
- Tom: you worked well with a good organiser in Helen, but you will need to ground your creativity with a sound business case that stands alone. Do the math.
- Susan: youth is no refuge in the commercial world. Most people are older and you must engage with them.
- Helen: not running your own business puts you at a disadvantage. Play to your strengths but watch out for the bits you haven't done and study hard.
That's what's really good about this process. It helps you see what you can and can't do, if you pay attention. If the "can'ts" exceed the "cans" it's probably best to try something else.
Whether they admit this or not I believe Natasha possibly and Leon definitely knew they didn't want it anymore.
And when talking about image and reality, sometimes the image fades too. For example life as a public figure looks increasingly less attractive when recent events in the media draw out its darker side.
Perhaps 'don't give up the day job' is ringing true?
Next up I believe we have "the interviews". These are normally really good value! The best is yet to come.

Quality and Environment Management Policy
We at RaMaX Engineering d.o.o. are very much aware of the importance of dividing the past, present, and future. Each timeframe has certain characteristics that should not be forgotten.
The past fills us with feelings of pleasure because the trodden path and our results show the company has developed exclusively from a business idea and zest of two founders. The company slowly but constantly grew to a middle-sized company it is today. Innovativeness, professionalism, reliability, and development orientation have brought the company to this point when we can speak of company recognition in Slovenia and abroad; when we can proudly say the number of satisfied customers is increasing. The company and its employees return trust in the form of quality products produced at a high technological level and in agreed deadlines.
The fact that we have never stopped even for a moment but rather kept propelling the wheel of development makes us feel obligated to continue working at the same pace. We are determined to keep upgrading and improving our company and our system. This is the only way to keep up with the high pace dictated by domestic and especially foreign market.
To enable further development and upgrade of the company possible we have decided to implement a holistic quality and environment management system according to international standards ISO 9001 and environment management standards ISO 14001.
Quality Management and Environment Management Systems are being introduced for the following reasons:
- To improve the quality level of the company and to make the system of constant improvements lead towards a "work without errors".
- To improve the quality of presentations to customers and business partners, and to be able to fulfill all demands and tasks that arise.
- To upgrade and share our knowledge and experience with the knowledge of our partners and grow develop at an even faster rate.
- To make the quality standard a characteristic the employees not only express to customers but also feel towards our work environment, our co-workers sharing work processes and our environment.
- To include all employees in standardization process as to constantly upgrade their knowledge and enable them education because it is the only way to improve the level of quality.
- To achieve quality norms together with the desired effect in the area of cost management meaning it is necessary to strive towards error prevention, solving the cause of errors and not just simply repairing the effects of an error.
Basic Principles of Environment Management Policy are:
- To strive towards effective energy usage from renewable sources.
- To sort waste and reduce the use of paper in the long-term relative to company activities.
- To do business according to adopted and applicable legislation and in accordance to other accepted demands (demands from customers).
- To identify and monitor environmental aspects of our production activities and its effects on environment.
- To seek dialogue with our partners, customers and public regarding environmental issues.
- We will systematically monitor the realization of goals regarding environment management, policy and strategy of environment management and take care of eliminating deviations on time.
- To pursue constant improvement of environment management system.
- Environment Management Policy is available to interested public.
With a goal of reaching long-term business goals we are committed to the following:
- To plan annual goals of environmental management and regularly - at least once a year - monitor accepted goals, complement them if needed and change them to ensure their appropriateness.
- To inform all employees about our Environment Management Policy.
- To inform all people working for our company or operating in its name about Environment Management Policy.
- To creatively construct and maintain the state of constant improvements for our Environment Management System.
- To implement all actions to prevent pollution.
- To establish and maintain a procedure for periodic assessment and fulfillment of legal and other demands which the organization has agreed to.
- To make sure our definitions of Environment Management are always clear and transparent; to accept public criticism (from customers, suppliers and business partners) and take it into consideration when upgrading the system.
- To take care of the nature by exploiting renewable energy sources.
Company management is committed to act in accordance to environment management goals and thus set an example to others, include environment management goals in strategic plans and ensure assets for effective implementation of these goals.
Each employee is responsible for preventing and pointing out every event that might influence the level of quality. At the same time each employee is responsible for the quality of his work and the quality of the work process as a whole.
Each and every one, from company management, heads of departments to each employee, is responsible for realization of quality policy and environment management.

Hello Comcast,
Our company has 3 sites on the East Coast that have Comcast internet. These 3 sites lost connectivity to several websites that are hosted on the Akamai platform. The same outage happened two weeks ago, but I have not been able to get Comcast to help with the issue. We opened a trouble ticket two weeks ago, but when everything started working it became apparent that Comcast was not able to give a cause for the outage.
This outage happened twice now, and I think it will happen again in the future if no one fixes it.
Here is what happened:
Wednesday, September 26th in the late afternoon we had our 3 locations in South Deerfield, MA, Atlanta, GA, and Hoboken, NJ report that they could not get to certain websites. (dell.com, yankeecandle.com, calphalon.com, cybersource.com) We ran traceroutes from these locations and determined that the traces all started going out a Comcast link and then when it was trying to peer out of Comcast the traceroute was dying. We opened a ticket with Comcast. Later that night everything started working. No resolution was given to us.
Today, October 11th at 12:30 PM CST the same 3 locations are reporting the same websites as unreachable. This time before we could open a ticket they began to work at about 1:30 PM CST. So this time the outage was only one hour. I'm hoping that when/if this happens again we can get some report on why Comcast is not peering with whatever common provider is involved with these websites.
Thank you,
Please anyone with information about this add to this thread.
Hi tonydick642 and welcome to the forums! I can look into this and see if I can find more information. If you click on my handle (Comcast_Gina), you can send me a Private Message. Please include your name, the business name, the complete service address (including city, state, ZIP, suite number, etc), and the phone or account number, and if you can include a picture of the traceroutes, that would be helpful too.
I am on the East coast as well and been having internet issues for the last 2 month as well. No one has been able to help me resolve the issue. Not sure who at comcast I should be trying to contact?
Hey bet, welcome to the forums too! I am happy to look into any internet issues you're having. If you click on my handle (Comcast_Gina) you can send me a Private Message with your name, the business name, the complete service address (including city, state, ZIP, suite number, etc), and the phone or account number and some details about what internet issues you are seeing.
Thank you. Yes we have had these outages and Comcast has not been willing to work with us on figuring out the issue over the phone because it is sporatic. Hopefully we can find a resolution by this forum.
Gracobaby was another of the websites that fails when this outage happens. The tracert below shows the hops failing to handoff from Comcast. All of our other sites other than Atlanta, South Deerfield, and Hoboken were fine. Including other comcast sites. Those sites also worked fine when we used other internet circuits we have at those locations. so comcast from those 3 sites was the only place having this issue.

I cannot send you a private message because I have "reached my limit for the day" I have sent one private message and apparently that is my limit. Can you bypass this so I can send you this message with my personal information?
Is there anyone else who has noticed a similar issue? I haven't heard anything or been asked any questions about this problem. I am hoping to get an explaination about what happened, so we can prevent these websites from going out in the future. On the East Coast from Comcast connections.
Thank you,
I will keep updating this thread with updates I get from Comcast representatives. Currently I have had one Comcast representative ask if I have called in to report the issue. The answer is yes, there was a ticket open the first time there was an outage.
There is a second rep that said he "checked our line" and the signal has been good. But of course it was. If anyone looks at the issue I am describing it notes that the issue is between Comcast and a larger provider (supposedly Akamai). And the reason the East Coast has an outage of those specific websites is because there is most likely a peering issue between Comcast and Akamai on the East Coast. Checking signals or connections at the sites I manage specifically will be of no help.
Just an update to keep this in view of everyone.
Thank you,
I understand that this is an intermittent issue and that you believe the issue is outside of your network. I do see the information that you have sent. I would like to reach out to our metro E team to look further into this for you. What is the best contact number and email address to reach you at if needed?

I spent Saturday morning at Grand River Beads participating in the "Try-it-you'll-like-it" weekend. I taught 3 classes in three hours…. and none of the materials overlapped! (Note to self: organize better!!!)
I demo'd swirly beads, faux dichro glass, and paper beads. Lots of fun, and our participants were REALLY enthusiastic! Of course, I was a little swamped and trying desperately to stick to my 55-minute time schedule, so I didn't get any photos. But I do have to say that my "students" were fabulously creative, and they all walked away with beautiful pieces.
It was crazy busy, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat. And a big thanks and kudos to Eva, who put it all together and kept things running smoothly!

I attended an expense paid trip by Disney to press events for Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron (#AvengersEvent, #AgeofUltron), all opinions as always are 100% my own.
This interview with Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth was our last interview of the day. It was also the most loose and from the hip. This was mostly because Chris 1 and Chris 2 (as they called themselves) were in very playful spirits. They laughed and joked and even asked each other questions in the interview. We learned that Chris Evans would like to have a bit more sass in his characters and we also learned where Chris Hemsworth would use his Thor-speak outside of the movies. It was a fun interview filled with lots of laughter from everyone involved. The guys even goofed around when it came to taking photos.
I had one question to ask Chris Evans and I got to ask it as the last question of the interview. I really liked his answer. I put the word out to people for questions and this one was the best of the bunch.
What aspects of Captain America's personality are coming from you and what are the most difficult to portray?
CHRIS EVANS : Well I think every character has to come a little bit from you. One of the things I do as an actor is try to adjust who I'm speaking to. I do believe there's always something that you can tap into for every role because you have to make it your own. You can't be too foreign off base because, you have to make it something familiar.
I grew up with a kid named Charlie Morris and you can all right that down because he'll love it. This was a kid who was an Eagle Scout. You know what it takes to be an Eagle Scout as a kid? He was just the best guy I knew, just a good guy. And so a lot of times you kind of draw parallels to what Charlie would do but the trickiest thing is to try to make him likable. He doesn't joke, he's not fun. He's not like sassy or loud or anything. So you try to play this guy and not come across as boring, which is the most dangerous thing about the character.
It's fun because it's not me. I'm a very open guy. I wear my emotions right on my sleeve and this guy is a little more inside himself. But that's what makes it like a fun challenge. Like I said, you do draw on parts of yourself. But I also lean on Charlie quite a bit, too. He's a good guy. Just a good guy. He just does what's right.
The interview started off with a question asked of both Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth. That was, "What was your favorite fight scene of the movie?" For Chris Evans it was the scene between Iron Man in the Hulkbuster armor vs The Hulk. It was a long scene but was such a cool fight. Chris Hemsworth liked the scene where all the Avengers are fighting in the beginning in one long tracking shot. Hemsworth said, "that blew my mind as to how they even did that."
These guys have played these characters for multiple movies. The question was asked to Chris Evans if he tries to find something about his characters each time that he puts on the costume or does he feel like he really knows the character now. Chris Evans summed it up well by saying "Well, you know the character but you hope there's always new challenges." Evans went on to say that in the first couple of movies he read as many comics as he could to make sure that the fan base would be satisfied by what he brought to the screen. He wants to make sure that it is always new and exciting or it will become stagnant and the audience will feel that.
When asked who their favorite superhero was growing up Chris Hemsworth said Superman because that was the first superhero film he had seen. Chris Evans said that he had a Spider-Man toy and he'd play with that all the time and make it battle the Ninja Turtles. Later he posed this question to the group, "Would anyone here not want to be a ninja turtle? Great calves." I think that statement there made me really happy to be in the interview.
The guys were asked which superhero they would want to play if they weren't already playing Thor and Captain America. Chris Hemsworth said that he'd like to be Captain America or Superman. Chris Evans said a Ninja Turtle but then went on to say that he'd love to play Iron Man because Iron Man got to have so many jokes. He said further, "It's fun to play someone who wears their emotions on their sleeve. And Steve's not exactly that way. So any other superhero who gets to be a little more sassy I would take. Yeah, Cap's not sassy." To which Hemsworth replied "So, Black Widow?" Evans laughed, "I'd look good in that black outfit."
Things then took a bit of a serious but cool turn when a question was asked by a 10 year old fan who is a victim of bullying because he has long hair. The question was for Chris Hemsworth and it was if he thought that it was okay for a boy to have long hair. Hemsworth then went on to tell this story.
CHRIS HEMSWORTH : Of course it is. God, yeah. Absolutely. My dad had long hair for years. In fact, was asked to play for a football team, invited down to a big league in Australian football. It was quite a big opportunity. And the coach said, yeah, cool but you've got to cut your hair because he had a ponytail. And he said no and walked away. And gave up that dream and did something else, honestly.
CHRIS EVANS : Wow.
CHRIS HEMSWORTH : I think part of him sort of says, I should have just cut my hair. But, you know, moral point and I think absolutely. God, why not? What is the issue there? If anyone is narrow-minded enough and limited in their thinking to think that that is an issue, then they've got the problem. And you wait, in a few years' time that kid will understand that that other kid has larger problems, you know?
CHRIS EVANS : Anytime I see a kid with long hair I'm like, that kid is so much cooler than I ever was.
CHRIS HEMSWORTH : Girls love long hair so tell him that.
CHRIS HEMSWORTH : Yeah, there you go.
CHRIS HEMSWORTH : He'll be fine. He's going to clean up in a few years' time. And that bully who's teasing him is going to get nothing.
CHRIS EVANS : Yeah.
It was great to listen to these guys speak. They were charming and funny. They talked about how fortunate they were to be a part of Avengers and Avengers 2 and how it wasn't a giant ego-fest. The cast hangs out together outside of filming. They also spoke about how they are lucky to bring these characters to life and give back by helping kids in the little moments. Chris Evans explained how he met Hulk Hogan as a kid and how that made a big impact on him. Now he can impact the lives of kids through what he does. He said, "Whether it's going to the hospital of kids who are sick or going to a theater where kids are learning to be creative and find themselves. Any type of environment where you can kind of encourage that is great. And that's one of the real perks of playing this role."
One last question I want to leave you with. It wasn't the last question asked but I think it was fun. The question asked was, "How much fun was it to have the scene around Thor's hammer?"
CHRIS EVANS : It was a good scene.
CHRIS HEMSWORTH : Fine with me because I couldn't pick it up. It was great. It was good to see us all in normal clothes and not you know, being superheroes… It's nice to be in civilian clothes. And what do these guys do when they're not saving the world? It's relatable for people in the audience. And that was exciting to read and be a part of.
CHRIS EVANS : Well said.
Yes indeed, well said guys. I loved the interview and it was great meeting with you and getting the photos taken and seeing how much fun you guys were having at the event. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing the movie once again and with fresh eyes after these interviews.

This has been a very long week for me.
As I posted earlier this week, my mom got admitted to the hospital. They thought she had developed bronchitis from a sinus infection. Now they are not so sure. It very well could be related to the leaky valve in her heart. Her lungs were very crackly and she wheezed with every breath. She finally got discharged this afternoon. Neither of us know what changes will be made to her medications or anything else. She most likely will be having this problem again and again. I will say.............her sense of humor never dampened.
When I went to visit her Tuesday, she joked about being on the top floor and being in the penthouse. Then she started chuckling and said "actually, I'm closer to heaven here. Won't have as far to go if I die." She cracks me up.
Wednesday, our grand daughter did her presentation of Iris, Greek goddess of rainbows. She was excellent. It was a Greek banquet and we were all treated to Greek food. There were 24 children and each and every one of them worked very hard on their presentations. Those 6th graders were fabulous.
I helped with crochet class at the same school that afternoon. I don't think we are going to make it through all the projects we had planned. There were only 2 projects too. This group doesn't seem to be as into handcrafts as others have been in the past. Maybe next year we will have a good group.......,if we do it next year.
Today was prayer shawl ministry. I worked 8n my Radiated Dragonfly throw. I am hoping to complete it this weekend. I will start another crochet project right away. I so enjoy making items for the ministry. I try to have one prayer shawl or throw going at all times. They usually make great TV projects as they are pretty easy going patterns I choose.
Tonight, hubby and I went to Holy Thursday mass. Tomorrow night will be Good Friday service and then Saturday the Easter Vigil. This is the busiest time of the year for hubby and I. We are very involved in our church so we will be spending many hours there over these 3 days. Easter Sunday we will have our day of rest with the family.
Tonight, Hubby and I are watching the movie "King of Kings". It has been quite a while since we saw it. This is the perfect Holy Week movie. It is long and we won't get to bed before tomorrow morning....but still worth it.
Until next time............Happy Crafting!!!!!!!!!!

West Indies 154 for 5 (Lara 40*, Utseya 3-35) beat Zimbabwe 151 for 9 (Chibhabha 55, Bravo 2-23) by five wickets
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Although they comfortably lost by five wickets, Zimbabwe's young team will take great heart from their performance against the West Indies in the first of seven one-dayers at Antigua. On a two-paced pitch, chasing just 152, the West Indies made hard work of their task and rarely looked in complete control of proceedings.
That they were made to struggle was down to Zimbabwe's young bowlers' control, and the energetic performance of their fielders. As early as the sixth ball of their innings, the West Indies lost their opener, Runako Morton, who carelessly drove one from Ed Rainsford straight to second slip. It was just the start they needed.
Rainsford bowled intelligently. Using his height to good effect, he generated bounce - on what was a difficult pitch to bat all day - causing Chris Gayle several anxious moments. However, his and his team-mates' inexperience told. The left-hand right-hand combination of Gayle and Ramnaresh Sarwan upset their lines, prompting Sarwan to punish Rainsford for several fours.
After putting on 37 with a subdued Gayle, from 10 turgid overs, Sarwan was caught inches short going for a quick single; the running was lazy, if a little complacent, and handed Zimbabwe a fortunate wicket. Gayle batted with curious restraint and only briefly did he threaten to open his broad shoulders.
He looked to be regaining his touch and power when he planted Prosper Utseya, the off-spinner, straight on top of the Richie Richardson stand at long-on - a remarkable one-handed shot of immense power. It appeared he and Denesh Ramdin, promoted ahead of his captain Brian Lara, were easing West Indies to victory until Gayle attempted to hit Utseya beyond the same stand and into the sea. Utseya, not afraid to toss it up, cleverly beat him in the air and had him caught at square leg.
Worse was to come. Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who was relieved of the captaincy last week, continued his poor run of form when he tried to cut Utseya. Soon after, the same bowler should have had Lara caught at deep midwicket when, inexplicably, he tried to pull one wide of the off-stump. The three fielders converged in a potentially disastrous triangle, but the ball somehow evaded each of them. That blemish aside, Lara batted with his customary brilliance to late-cut the spinners and nudge singles with ease.
At the other end, Ramdin - a compact, neat and correct batsman - grew in confidence until, with just 31 runs needed to win, he decided to late-cut a half-volley and was bowled by Utseya. It was a dreadful, lackadaisical shot.
If their batting was lacklustre, the West Indies' bowling performance was similarly uninspiring. Whereas Zimbabwe looked sharp in the field, the hosts lacked intent and spark. After removing Piet Rinke in the second over, the opening bowlers - Fidel Edwards and Jerome Taylor - lost their ferocity and didn't look like a side determined to take 10 wickets.
Terry Duffin, the Zimbabwe captain, then batted diligently for his 26, and put on a vital 64 runs with Justice Chibhabha, who made a very impressive 55. Though the pair batted well, rarely did they break into a trot which said more of their inexperience than anything else.
Their wickets marked a dramatic collapse in which Zimbabwe lost 7 for 30 as the West Indies bowlers, Gayle and Dwayne Bravo in particular, found their lengths. But it was the batsmen's inexperience that told. Panic set in during the final ten overs, and though they reached the milestone of 150, it was never likely to trouble the West Indies.
Lara, clearly fed up with the injudicious strokeplay of his team-mates, clobbered a couple of late boundaries, including a huge six to win the game. It was a disappointing effort from the home side, and an encouraging one from Zimbabwe who can take heart not only for batting out fifty overs, but for making the West Indies work hard to reach what was a paltry total.

This recipe is perfect to feed a crowd and the shoulder or gigot of pork are the best cuts to use. This is best served warm. If you are nervous about tying up the joint, bring the stuffing down to your butchers and get him to do it for you.
- 2 kg boneless shoulder or gigot of pork with rind on (at room temperature)
- 2 fresh rosemary sprigs (leaves removed and finely chopped)
- 50 g mature hard cheese (finely grated)
- 4 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
- 4 tblsp flat-leaf parsley (chopped)
- maldon sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- boiled potatoes and baby carrots, to serve
- Preheat the oven to 190ºC (375ºF/Gas 5). Open out the pork onto a clean work surface and season generously.
- Sprinkle over the chopped rosemary, cheese, garlic and parsley in an even layer. Tightly roll the pork back up to enclose the filling completely.
- Tie with string at 2cm intervals to keep the meat in shape. If the skin is not already scored, use a small sharp knife to score the skin between the strings.
- Wipe off any excess moisture with kitchen roll and sprinkle with salt.
- Place in a roasting tin and roast for 20 minutes per 500g plus 20 minutes.
- For the last 20 minutes of cooking time, increase the oven temperature to 220ºC (425ºF/Gas 7), so, if the joint is exactly 2kg, it will take one hours and 40 minutes until cooked through and tender with crispy crackling.
- Leave the roast pork to rest in a warm place for 30 minutes, as it is actually best served warm.
- Carve into thin slices and arrange on warmed plates with the potatoes and baby carrots. Spoon over the pan juices to serve.

A number of studies have documented how income inequality is bad for your health. If you're someone who used to work in North American manufacturing or a person of colour, that's been obvious for a long time. But a new study, by Anne Case and Angus Deaton, demonstrates that inequality has deleterious effects on middle class white women. Crawford Killian writes:
"The post-1999 episode in midlife mortality in the United States is historically and geographically unique, at least since 1950," Case and Deaton say. During the same period, mortality in the same age cohort in six rich countries (and in American Hispanics), continued to fall. The same cohort of Canadians suffered less mortality than anyone but the Swedes and Australians.
What was the difference? Three causes: "Suicide, drug and alcohol poisoning... and chronic liver diseases and cirrhosis."
And who was dying? "The turnaround in mortality for white non-Hispanics was driven primarily by increasing death rates for those with a high school degree or less." Some post-secondary but no degree? Little improvement. A B.A. or more? "Death rates fall by 57 per 100,000."
"Although all three educational groups saw increases in mortality from suicide and poisonings," Case and Deaton say, "and an overall increase in external cause mortality, increases were largest for those with the least education."
These are precisely the people who were hit hardest by The Great Recession. And they are the people whose incomes have been falling ever since. But white women are now bearing the brunt of our brave new economy:
The report has predictably caused a stir, and one analyst, social-science blogger Andrew Gelman, has gone deeper into the numbers. He finds that the increase in deaths stopped in 2005: "Since 2005, mortality rates have increased among women in this group but not men."
"Actually what we see," Gelman says, "is an increasing mortality among women aged 52 and younger -- nothing special about the 45-54 group, and nothing much consistently going on among men."
Other researchers confirm the problem for women. A 2012 study found that white women without a high school diploma "lost five years of life between 1990 and 2008," by which time equally educated black women were outliving them. Earlier this year the Urban Institute published similar findings.
It's tough out there for everybody -- except those at the top of the economic pyramid. However, they haven't noticed the rebellion that is bubbling down below.

Welcome to The Rocks Off 200, our portrait gallery of the most compelling profiles and personalities in the far-flung Houston music community -- a lot more than just musicians, but of course they're in there too. See previous entries in the Rocks Off 100 at this link.
Who? Another Mutation is a funny title for Hearts of Animals' third full-length album. No two of its lo-fi, sweet but melancholy songs are quite the same, but all are recognizably the work of the young woman who offstage goes by the name of Mlee Marie Mains. Mlee/Hearts of Animals (pronounced "Emily" and "Hearts of Animals") has been a dependable presence in Houston's indie scene since 2007, when just about every music-loving site in town including this one flipped its collective wig over her self-released short LP/extended EP Lemming Baby.
Driven by the almost country-ish "Hearts Break" (hard not to think of Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval on that one) and Casio-punk "Lostinthetranslation," Lemming was eventually remastered and released on iTunes last February. In the interim, Mlee recorded and released a second album, Cave Lights, in 2009. (That one is only available on Bandcamp, she says.)
She has also collaborated and guested live with a host of locals -- including a notable lead vocal on "Rust," from Linus Pauling Quartet's 2012 LP Bag of Hammers -- as Hearts of Animals has grown from a frequent solo act to a full-fledged band now also featuring her brother Joey.
A second-generation Houstonian who plays a number of instruments (sax, keys, guitar), Mlee was one of those kids who was cooler than you growing up, because her parents -- both local musicians themselves, whom she says were in a rock band through most of her childhood -- took her to shows like Cyndi Lauper, Big Audio Dynamite, Nirvana (jealous!) and lots more.
"This influenced me greatly as I wanted to be on the stage performing music like these guys and girls," Mlee says. "Sometimes we would play in a family band for friends' parties. I'm glad my brother and I are in a band together now; it means a lot to me."
Another Mutation was released earlier this month and is easily as endearing and wistful as Lemmings, if not moreso. It's hard to pick a favorite, but after a couple of listens we're drawn to the Breeders-like rocker "Money For That" and the power-pop goodness of "Jesus Drug." Mlee and the rest of Hearts of Animals are throwing a release party for Mutation tomorrow night at Rudz with her good friends and occasional collaborators Young Mammals. It's a free show, by the way.
Home Base: Mlee is a Montrose girl, saying she prefers to play and hang out at spots like Rudz, AvantGarden and Walters, which might as well be in Montrose.
Good War Story: "[I] almost got kicked out of the Proletariat for sneaking a drink from my flask behind the stage," she remembers, "and also for letting Cley of the Young Mammals have a swig of whiskey -- he was underage at the time."
Why Do You Stay In Houston? "I stay in Houston for many reasons," she says. "It is my home. I have no money or job offers to allow me to move anywhere else. I like Houston. I like the people and the food and even the weather!
"New York is too stressful and L.A. is cool but really expensive," she adds. "Anywhere else doesn't seem interesting to me!"
Story continues on the next page.
Music Scene Pet Peeve: Thank God someone finally brought this up:
"There is a vicious cycle going on when it comes to shows being on time," Mlee says. "People expect the bands to not start on time, so they show up late, but the reason they expect the bands to not start on time is because the bands are waiting for the people who are always late to show up.
"The older I get the more obnoxious this becomes," she continues. "I have heard that this does not happen in NY because people have shit to do and their time is precious. I wish that we were more considerate of that here."
Five Desert Island Discs:
- Elliott Smith, Figure 8
- Crowded House, Woodface
- Mr. Bungle, California
- The Breeders, Last Splash
- Big Audio Dynamite II, Higher Power
Best Concert You Ever Saw: Fisherspooner, House of Blues, May 2009 -- "Mind-blowing performance that included beautiful choreography, with props like huge spinning mirrors and weird shit like that," Mlee recalls.
First Song You Fell In Love With: "I remember the song 'In Your Wildest Dreams' by Moody Blues really striking me when I was little," she says. "It came out in 1986, when I was four so. Even though I was exposed to and liked a lot of music growing up, when I think back to my earliest emotional reaction to a song, I remember that one the most."
Hearts of Animals play Rudyard's, 2010 Waugh, Friday night with Young Mammals and LIMB. Doors open at 9 p.m.; free show.

No apostrophe, Hof .
There is a very interesting article in the current issue of the New Yorker mag about Governor's. Island and and the firm that designed the public spaces that are starting to attract thousands to the place. The people behind the restructuring and transformation of the island have created a number of inner-city parks around Europe and have been described as one of the most innovative park architects of the new Century.
They have sculpted the land, building mounds from the debris of some of the old buildings that were there and the landscaping, tree plantings, hills and 'natural' settings were compared to Olmstead's work in Central Park.
I must have passed the place a zillion times on the Staten Island Ferry, and once, many years ago I approached the island in a private boat, but the owner refused to land fearing harassment by the Coast Guard or the Navy or whomever it was that ruled over the place back then.
Has anyone had the chance to visit Gov Island yet???
I understand, from the article, that the views of NYC are fresh and spectacular...

I have just used the webhelp.fragment.head parameter to add a Title to my webhelp responsive output. I added
to a HTML file and associated the file with webhelp.fragment.head
Code: Select all
<title>System Name</title>
This works fine for index.html.
However, when I use the Search functionality it is appending System Name to all search results listed (with no space).
Is this as expected?
Thanks in advance,
