Hey Taxpayers, Guess Who Foots the Bill For Arctic Oil Spills?
Bud Sambasivam | Posted 11.12.2012 | Canada

In the wake of the 2010 BP Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico, our government needs to make changes to our outdated liability regime. Currently, the Canadian taxpayer is liable for offshore oil spills in the Arctic. Under current law, an oil company is responsible for damages up to $40 million of absolute liability, regardless of fault or negligence. Beyond the $40 million, it is either Canadian taxpayers or the company paying, depending on fault. Why are we providing public insurance for oil companies? We do not provide public insurance for homeowners in the case of a fire, or car owners in the case of a motor vehicle accident.

The apartment was great! We had hardly take the Metro because it was so central we used haben.Leider evening a bit noisy because of the many bars in the street, but with ear plugs in the ears one has heard anything.
The kitchen was equipped with everything necessary. Thanks to our two sofas, it could easily make each. Unfortunately, you could not close the bathroom door ...
In the welcome we received good advice that we can look at everything. Everything worked out great! I would rent the apartment again! Thank you!
Die Wohnung war toll! Wir mussten kaum mit der Metro fahren, weil wir so zentral gewohnt haben.Leider war es Abends etwas laut wegen den vielen Bars in der Straße, aber mit Ohropax in den Ohren hat man nichts mehr gehört.
Die Küche war mit allem Notwendigen ausgestattet. Dank den zwei Sofas, konnte es sich jeder bequem machen. Leider konnte man die Bad Türe nicht schließen...
Bei der Begrüßung haben wir gute Tips bekommen, was wir uns alles anschauen können. Es hat alles super geklappt! Die Wohnung würde ich wieder mieten!! Danke!
We had a really nice stay, Lisbon is a wonderful city and the people are just lovely, friendly, helpful, would like to communicate even though it is in English, as most are easily understood. The apartment has stunning views of the city - all the way to the river Tagus. The heart of the old town, with a lot of small shops and bars, and without much traffic, and with lovely winding narrow streets with a lot of charm. We were welcomed by Joanna, a sweet, smiling girl who made sure we had what we needed linen, towels etc. The apartment is equipped primarily for 4 people, so when we were 5, lacked a little cutlery etc. we discovered along the way - another time we will probably write it to them in advance. Before arrival we saw to be contacted by. mail, so we constantly know how we should deal with, and who we should contact. It is definitely a place we want to visit again.
Vi havde et rigtigt dejligt ophold, Lissabon er en pragtfuld by, og befolkningen er bare dejlige, venlige, hjælpsomme, vil gerne kommunikere selvom det foregår på engelsk, som de fleste snakker let forståeligt.
Lejligheden har en fantastisk udsigt over byen - helt til floden Tejo. Den ligger midt i den gamle bydel, med en masse små butikker og barer, og uden den store trafik, og med dejlige snoede smalle gader med megen charme.
Vi blev budt velkommen af Joanna, en sød og smilende pige, som sørgede for at vi havde hvad vi skulle bruge af sengetøj, håndklæder mm
Lejligheden er udstyret primært til 4 personer, så da vi var 5, manglede der lidt bestik osv. opdagede vi hen ad vejen - en anden gang vil vi nok skrive det til dem på forhånd.
Inden ankomsten oplevede vi at blive kontaktet pr. mail, så vi hele tiden vidste hvordan vi skulle forholde os, og hvem vi skulle kontakte.
Det er bestemt et sted vi gerne vil besøge igen.
3 nights at Rua da Rosa 152. A beautiful apartment in the Barrio Alto. It is on the 4th floor and has 2 bedrooms, a living room, kitchenette and bathroom. With four people can stay good in this apartment. In the evening, the pressure in the streets but for an hour or three at night is quiet and we are certain there has been a great burden. Not all outlets are working in this apartment. Everything else is in the apartment and the service is quite good. Carla, the host, also gives some tips about the area. With a not too long walk you can be in Chiado and Alfama. The subway station is about 10 minutes walk. In the Rua da Rosa are some small supermarkets which are quite expensive. Also, there are a few small bakeries where you can buy fresh bread tasty for little money.
3 nachten verbleven aan Rua da Rosa 152. Een mooi appartement in de Barrio Alto. Het is op de 4e verdieping en heeft 2 slaapkamers, een woonkamer, een keukentje en badkamer. Met 4 personen kun je goed verblijven in dit appartement. 's Avonds is het druk in de straten maar om een uur of 3 's nachts wordt het rustig en wij hebben er zeker geen last van gehad. Niet alle stopcontacten werken in dit appartement. Verder is alles aanwezig in het appartement en de service is heel goed. Carla, de host, geeft ook een aantal tips over de omgeving. Met een niet al te lange wandeling ben je zo in Chiado en Alfama. Het metrostation is ongeveer 10 minuten lopen. In de Rua da Rosa zijn een aantal kleine supermarkten die nogal duur zijn. Ook zitten er een paar kleine bakkerijen waar je voor weinig geld lekkere verse broodjes kunt halen.
Reviews for this host's other properties
We had a wonderful time in this little appartement in Lisboa! Everything was clean and cozy! The appartement is directly in the Barrio Alto so we could do everything by foot. We also cooked two times in the kitchen and had super nice evenings in the appartement with the two little "balconys"! We can definitely recommend this place!
Clara, Lena, Theresa, Laura
The Apartment is prefectly located, clean and has everything you Need. Filipe and his Team Are very friendly and helpfull. He also allowed us to Check out two Hours later, which was very kind. I highly recommend the Stay there.
We spent some days in the studio and really enjoyed the nice view of the kitchen-window. It is no worth cooking in the apartment as going out for lunch is really cheap and the kitchen is just equipped to prepare a quick sandwich or pasta, not a hole meal. Clean bathroom and rooms, only the bed is, in my opinion, very uncomfortable and not like written "getting out of the bed will be difficult" in a positive sense. Communication with the host was very easy, friendly and cooperative!!
For the last days we had to move to another apartment as they started with some demolition works next door. But this may occur at any place and WIMDU really did a good job to solve this problem. Thanks a lot for this!
Nice apartment and very friendly and helpful hosts. Only we were missing a wardrobe or some shelfs to store our cloths. The area was perfect to start exploring Lisbon. At night a bit loud.

WASHINGTON Voting technology and systems standards, concerns over upcoming
elections in their states and counties, and adequate funding for the Federal Election
Commissions Office of Election Administration (OEA) were primary topics of
discussion May 4-5 at a conference of the OEAs Advisory Panel in Baltimore.
The OEAs Advisory Panel was established in 1976, composed of election officials
and Secretaries of State from throughout the nation. The 20 members of the Panel are
nominated by the director of the OEA and appointed by the six Commissioners of the FEC and
are tasked to advise the FEC on the needs of election administrators and how the OEA might
allocate its resources to best serve those needs.
Panel members expressed their concern about the necessity for the FECs election
administration office to continue its research and clearinghouse functions in support of
state and local elections officials. They voiced support for approval by Congress of
additional and continuing funds for the OEAs efforts, while noting the most
immediate concern is the Voting Systems Standards Program, a voluntary national program
that provides for independent third party testing of voting systems.
The FEC has requested $3 million in supplemental "no-year funds" (funds that
would be available beyond September 30, 2001) for enhancement of the OEA, telling Congress
in its proposal that the funds are sought "to better assist state and local election
administrators, who are responsible for administering federal elections, to develop
operational election administration and management standards."
Various resolutions supporting that funding proposal have been adopted by elections
officials and other associations, including the National Association of Secretaries of
State (NASS), the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED), the Council of
State Governments (CSG), the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), the
National Association of Counties (NACO), the National Association of County Recorders and
Clerks (NACRC), the Election Center, and the International Association of Clerks,
Recorders, Election Officials and Treasurers (IACREOT).
The Voting Systems Standard documents are scheduled for public review and comment in
two segments Volume I slated for release in late June and Volume II by the end of
October. To provide assistance for the completion of the study, New York State Board of
Elections Executive Director Thomas Wilkey under an intergovernmental agreement
will devote some five days per month in Washington. Wilkey is chairman of the
national Voting Systems Standards Board, which is overseen by the chief election officials
of each state.
The released document will contain the technical standards, i.e. documented, consensus
agreements between users and manufacturers that contain specifications which govern system
functionality, software requirements, transactions audits, security measures, and methods
to manage different configurations. These performance criteria comprise Volume I.
Volume II will contain the test plans and procedures for the subsequent examination of
all automated vote tabulation systems by the independent test authorities certified by the
National Association of State Election Directors.

It's not something that happens everyday. Especially not for major films like Star Wars.
There's been reports over the years of lost footage for Halloween and such turning up.
But a fellow collector recently won an auction for an old RotJ Videodisc from Ebay for $699.
On it was 30 minutes of lost and unused footage from RotJ. Including alternate takes and a blooper reel.
Here's a list of some of the footage discovered on the old Editdroid disc:

Awesome news for Amazon.com Associates (aka "Affiliates") – the cool Site Strip just got even cooler! Amazon now provides a super easy way to share your finds (and affiliate links) on Twitter with "Share on Twitter." You can access Share on Twitter from the Site Stripe and post to your Twitter account from Amazon detail pages in just two clicks.
The Share on Twitter feature is easy to use. Simply log in to your Amazon Associates account and then visit any detail page on Amazon.com. By clicking on the Share on Twitter button in the Site Stripe, a new window will open and an Amazon-generated message is pre populated in the 'What are you doing?' text area of your Twitter account (you may be asked to log in to your Twitter account).

When Twitter users click on the link in your post and make a qualifying sale, you'll earn referral fees. That's it!
I've personally been waiting for this to happen – I love posting reviews on products and linking to Amazon. It's a great way to earn a little extra money while doing something I do anyway (which is share my opinion of course!) I'm SO glad Amazon's made it that much easier!

So . . . . I saw the new trailer recently and I'm still trying to get my head around what I saw
Prinze and Gellar, I'm not interested in . . .
But I have to say that Matthew Lillard seemed to have Kasem's Shaggy voice down. At least, way more than I expected. I was surprised actually As for Scoobs, I really liked his voice but the CG just looks strange to me.
I'm not expecting much from this movie

Anyway, direct flight from Charlotte to San Fran, so that isn't horrible, but it is five hours on a plane. Not horrible. I saw Bewitched as the in-flight movie. Also not horrible, but it seems to me that seeing a movie on a plane automatically grants it an extra half a star or so. But there were a couple of moments where Will Farrell made me laugh out loud, which is always fun to do on a plane.
The guy next to me was probably in his 60's and was doing dip. Some sort of cherry flavor, it smelled like old school cough syrup.

VGA is much more difficult and expensive since VGA is analogue.
I can see their point that 'VGA is end of life'
a very odd choice
but buying one of these to get kids programming just can't see it happening personally.

Hi everyone,
I'm so excited to get started making PowerPoint Presentation Digital Scrapbook 1-2-3 videos! I was just curious though, does anyone know if you can upload these to a Kindle Fire? My other Kindle broke and I'm trying to decide if I want to invest in a Kindle Fire. This isn't going to be a deal breaker but I was just wondering. Also does anyone own a Kindle Fire? If so, what are your thoughts? Thanks. Kelly

My husband has a Kindle Fire. What I would recommend is to upload your Presentation video to YouTube. You can then easily watch it over the Internet The kindle Fire is Wife. My husband has really been enjoying it.. I actually think watching the videos over YouTube is best way to watch the video on all mobile devices. You won't have to store it on your device and all of them are set up to watch YouTube videos.
You donY have to make the video public, but can set it up so that anyone that has the link can see it.

Relive Star Wars! See it, as it all happened! Only at The First Star Wars Website! (www.firststarwars.8k.com)
I was looking very seriously into one of these before they announced the re-release. what they sell for is dependant on condition, you could probably get an incomplete, totally nackered one to use for parts for $30, I've seen misb ones go for $600+. this one seems to be in good shape so I would expect that $50 to climb (the figures are a non-issue). a good way to research current trends on ebay it to view the recently completed items (look down the left hand side in that menu bar) compare condition vs price to get an idea. note, US shipping auctions almost always finish lower than world wide shipping, so if you live in the US, yea for you. if you're new to ebay, beware the snipers (people like myself that wait until the last second to bid, to avoid bid wars and keep the ending price low) in fact this may be a tactic you'll want to employ yourself. if you're just getting into vintage stuff and have little in the way of vehicles, I'd spend the money and get this instead: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=2475 (includes shuttle and more) I didn't look at the new completed items but odds are that they fallen for vintage shuttles since the new ones came out. good luck.

Olivier Theyskens Is Still at Nina Ricci's Table
Olivier Theyskens Is Still at Nina Ricci's Table
>> Although sources are saying that Puig already has a new designer lined up to take Oliver Theyskens's spot at Nina Ricci, he looked right at home at the Ricci table last night during the annual Sidaction AIDS benefit gala, right down the way from Nina Ricci president Manuel Puig. Maybe he's going to ride out his contract until October, after all? But it another fashion fixture who was on everyone's minds last night — Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, making her first appearance at a fashion event and breaking her usual ties with Dior by wearing Yves Saint Laurent as the guest of Pierre Berge.

Answers by Expert:
PLEASE READ ALL BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS... WHAT I CAN DO: Being a ferret owner for 20 years, I can answer questions re: general care, cage ideas & requirements, healthy foods and snacks, safety issues, ferretproofing play areas, common causes of intestinal blockages, appropriate housing, litterbox training, making bathtime fun, toys, games galore, outdoor trips, "Do`s and Don'ts, traveling w/ferrets by car or RV, safe environmental temperatures & keeping your ferret cool in summer (NOT A FAN!!), setting up a hospital cage, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), helicobacter (ulcers), adrenal disease symptoms & care,intestinal blockages, helping your ferret recover quickly/safely from surgery; common problems of ferret ownership, illnesses; care of sick or injured ferrets, hospice/palliative care, facing & coping with your ferret's death, choices that must be made when a ferret dies, memorializing your pet online and in your daily life. #1 TIP: FIND AN EXOTICS VET BEFORE YOU GET A VET...IF YOU WAIT, YOU MAY FIND YOU HAVE TO DRIVE UP TO 6-HRS TO GET TO A PROPER VET!..if you did not find one first, be WILLING to drive as far as possible for proper care. AND.... #2 TIP: FERRETS ARE EXPENSIVE TO FEED, HOUSE, VET & CARE FOR PROPERLY...IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD ONE/OR NOT READY TO SACRIFICE, PLEASE DON'T GET ONE!! A FERRET IS NOT LIKE HAVING A CAT OR DOG!! THEY REQUIRE MORE TIME, ENERGY, CARE AND MONEY to properly care for them. Prepare to spend up to $8,000-$10,000 OVER A FERRETS LIFETIME (6 to 8 years usually) FOR NECESSITIES & VET CARE. WHAT I CAN`T DO: I can`t take the place of your ferret vet; if your ferret appears sick,PLEASE have your ferret examined by a ferret vet .TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE FOR A SICK FERRET - PLEASE, IF IN DOUBT, GET THEM TO A VET! 24- hours of a ferret not eating/drinking may kill your ferret! NEVER FORCE FEED A SICK..he may choke. Sub-Q or IV fluids from your vet who is not eating WILL help save his life IF he gets it in time.
I have nursed ferrets through many illnesses, an injury, and a variety of diseases over the years.Ferrets are so very delicate, yet incredibly strong-willed; a well-loved ferret will fight courageously to live if given proper medical care, close monitoring, and especially lots of TLC.& LOVE. A ferret can entertain for hours on end when they know they are the center of attention; and they can make even the grumpiest person laugh. They do require a LOT of time, love and daily care, but the love you give a ferret always comes back to you tenfold OR MORE!!
I dedicate the time I spend helping others here to my precious little ones who have gone to the Rainbow Bridge. They taught me how to laugh, to love unconditionally....and how to live each & every day to its fullest, and for that I am forever grateful.

I can help with suggestions to use IN CONJUNCTION with proper care by your exotics specialist vet (ASK when you call for an appointment whether or NOT your vet has EXPERIENCE in working with EXOTICS..if not, move on and continue to seek one. The wrong vet can KILL your ferret. I learned this early when my ferret hurt his front paw jumping off the couch...a vet, NOT EXOTICS SPECIALIST couln't handle ferret properly because he was afraid of the ferret...and ended up xraying THE WRONGBARM, telling me it was not hurt. I took xray & ferret to EXOTICS SPECIALIST VET 3-hrs away & found out the arm WAS BROKEN & wrong arm had been xrayed. THAT is how important it is to have a PROPERLY TRAINED VET FOR YOUR FERRET!

Some people feel that the use of that name is degrading. You must not care about hurting the feelings of some people. You must not be the sensitive person you claim to be. Maybe you should try putting Amen and Issac together and be the Assman! Sorry now I am being insensitive!

I will be excited to see the Obamas bags packed walking away from the WH far far away. I hope they dont forget the mother in law she will be hiding under a bed. Romney said all the right things last night just as bo did 4 yrs ago . Difference is Romney is an honest truthful man something BO isn't.
Must see movie: 2016 you might get more excited to vote for Romney after seeing this. I dont know how one person could vote for bo after seeing this. He has a plan for the U.S. and you wont like it

Thanks very much for taking time out of your personal Saturday to talk.
Have a great, safe hunting season and enjoy the election and all the fun that comes with it!
It is conversations like the one we had today that make me glad that I get to spend time hanging around this little place on the internet.

Another Pse Organizer Question
Started by ScrapGram, Oct 08 2012 09:47 AM

Posted 08 October 2012 - 09:47 AM
I have my PSE Organizer backed up on both my hard drive and an external hard drive. When I try to open a file in PSE Editor from one of these folders, it won't open and says it is the wrong type of file. Since it happens when I go to both the computer hard drive and my EHD, I am guessing it is ok, but I just wanted to confirm that. Thanks!
Posted 08 October 2012 - 09:56 AM
I don't use the PSE organiser, but I thought you opened the files from within the organiser, not a folder on your computer.
I could be wrong, hopefully someone knows for sure.

Yes, open the files from within Organizer. Also, make sure to have your EHD plugged BEFORE you open PSE. Otherwise, you will get "broken links" because computer can't find those files. The broken links can be repaired but takes forever! HTH!
Then, while in Organizer, you can choose to EDIT your file.

Make sure that you get the updates for PSE 10....I've noticed a couple improvements lately with opening Editor from Organizer. Sometimes I would get thrown completely out of both with large LO files, and never did with older versions of PSE.
Posted 08 October 2012 - 02:43 PM
I really didn't make myself clear. Sorry about that. You do open files from the Organizer into the Editor. I was just curious to see if a recent back-up on a new EHD worked, so I tried to open a file from the backup folder into the editor. I also tried clicking on the file in Windows Explorer and it wouldn't open there either. Apparently they will only open if you restore the backup within the Organizer. I have a back up on my hard drive and another old back-up on an EHD, and they are the same way, so it must be ok. I was just checking to see if anyone else knew if it was ok or not. Sorry about the confusion. I will definitely go and check for PSE 10 updates. All the PSE Versions that I have had (5, 9 and 10) have done wonky things so I just thought it was normal! The one that drives me the craziest is when Editor just quits and I haven't saved my work. Only happens occassionally, but it does happen. I have been trying to get better about saving during creation and not just when I am done. Thanks everyone for your comments. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
Posted 08 October 2012 - 02:50 PM
Karen, there are backups, and then there are backups. If your backup is simply a "COPY" of files on the main drive, you should be able to open them. If you're using a backup utility, it may compress the files, to be retrieved only through the utility program. The files won't have the names or extensions visible to other programs.
I'd start by using Windows Explorer to go see what's actually there, if this doesn't make sense.

Thanks for the tip on updates for Organizer. I understand the new 11 version has big changes. I haven't investigated this yet. I'm running PSE on a MacBook Pro so Organizer wasn't even available until v9. That was very unstable but v10 has bee fairly reliable. I do have a number of broken links--I don't know why. But I need to work on these and get everything ship shape before I upgrade.

I spent three days in this room and have been very satisfied although some maintenance details can improve, thank you very much Mark for kindly to leave luggage longer recommend
He pasado tres días en esta habitación y he quedado muy satisfecha aunque algunos detalles de mantenimiento pueden mejorar, muchas gracias a Marcos por su amabilidad al poder dejar las maletas más tiempo, lo recomiendo
Excellent value for money. I only wish there were more rooms, as it's becoming hard to find availability! Marcos is very helpful and I have never had any problems.
Excellent stay. Apartment widely are enough for a short stay. Very convenient because it is located 100m from the Liverpool Street Station. And all the shops.
Excellent séjour. Appartement largement suffissent pour un petit séjour. Très pratique car il est situé a 100m de la gare Liverpool-Street. Ainsi que tous les commerces.

PERFECT: Even if a problem should arise, solves Marcos in the best way.
The room is not bad but overlooks a courtyard where you hear a lot of noise. This comes from the air conditioner of the restaurant located on the premises of property. Access to it is painful because the restaurant leave garbage in the hallway. A disgusting! They have the kitchen door opened and out of it all!
La habitación no está mal pero da a un patio interior en el que se oye mucho ruido. Éste proviene del aparato de aire acondicionado del restaurante ubicado en el local de inmueble. El acceso al mismo es penoso porque los del restaurante dejan la basura en el pasillo.¡Un asco! Tienen la puerta de la cocina abierta y sale de todo!
We had a nice stay in London. The apartment is really central, very good access to tube, train, bus. Many restaurants, bars and much else. The house and the apartment quite come across, but He has now begun to renovate. Bath was replaced from the images already with shower, Everything else still the same. But host was very nice, friendly. We did not sit around the apartment, yes, it was enough to limp. With neighbors, we were also lucky they arrived late, just as we long to visit London, behaved respectfully towards others, we have again experienced international WG-life in Central London after so many years of study! And that was nice! Who wants to be in the center is really quick to recommend the room very much.
Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt in London. Die Wohnung ist wirklich zentral gelegen, sehr gute Anbindung an tube,train, bus. Sehr viele Restaurants, Bars und vieles anderes. Das Haus und die Wohnung ziemlich untergekommen, aber ER hat jetzt angefangen zu renovieren. Badewanne aus den Bildern schon mit Dusche ersetzt worden, sonst Alles noch beim alten. Aber Gastgeber war sehr nett, freundlich. Wir wollten ja nicht in der Wohnung herum sitzen, zum schlaffen hat es gereicht. Mit Zimmernachbarn hatten wir auch Glück, sie kamen spät, genau so wie wir nach langem London Besichtigung, benahmen sich respektvoll Anderen gegenüber, so haben wir nach so viel Studienjahren wieder mal internationale WG-Leben im Zentrum von London erlebt! Und das war schön! Wer wirklich schnell in Zentrum sein möchte, ist das Zimmer sehr zu empfehlen.
The property is in a great location for London centre. Liverpool Street Station is 1 minute away which makes getting about excellent. Coach to Stansted Airport is also at end of street. When arriving at the apartment I was left standing around for a while as no details had been provided of where i was to meet the host. Eventually Marcos assistant arrived after 30 minutes waiting and showed me to the apartment. The entrance way is the same entrance which is used by the Indian restaurant next door so a lot refuse etc is left in the hallway, the carpet on the stairs is in need of replacing as this is communal access with the indian restaurant it is extremely grubby. When I got into the apartment the room I was booked into had not been vacated by the previous guest and a note left for the agent of when they would vacate. Marcos assistant got this sorted out but I was asked to come back in an hour so that the cleaner could clean the room etc. I was able to leave my bag but was a bit anxious that the previous guest could return and have access to my personal belonging. I retunred a time later the room was cleaned and everything was tidy. The bed was extremely comfortable, some minor refurbishments could increase the standard of the property but for the price it is very good, on sunday morning the petticoat lane market is in the street beside which has great bargains and souvenirs. If I was returning to London I would easily rent another room in the property as I know now what the property is like and for the price it is quite good.
Great stay, nice room and well located, next to the subway, nice neighborhood, everything is at hand, a good plan, inexpensive for London!
Super séjour, chambre agréable et bien située, à côté du métro, le quartier est sympa : tout est à portée de main; un bon plan, peu cher pour Londres!
The floor was right in the center, and we had a blast. Although we arrived very late, we were greeted with no problem. The room was great and we are delighted with the visit. Next time do not hesitate to have this room :) Thank you for everything. A greeting. Lucia and Alexs
El piso estaba justo en el centro, y nos lo pasamos genial. A pesar de que llegamos muy tarde, nos recibieron sin ningún problema. La habitación estaba genial y estamos encantados con la visita. La próxima vez no dudaremos en contar con esta habitación :)
Muchas gracias por todo. Un saludo.
Lucía y Alexs
I really enjoyed my stay. The room was very spacious and clean(ed often), the appartement small but convenient. The kitchen is well equiped, all you need is there! The only downside to this place is that the walls are really thin, you can hear your neighbours to clearly. But, the location makes up for much, right next to Spitalfield Market and almost on the (every sunday) famous petticoat market. And please try the great Indian Restaurant located next door, it food is fantastic! Also nice: the appartement is located only 1 minute from Liverpoolstreet Station, a major transport hub with both trains and tubes. Marcos and his staff are really great, you can contact them very easily. I really recommend this place if you are looking for a nice and not so expensive place in down town London.

Getting the Most Out of Google Without Spending a Dime
Its pretty common knowledge nowadays that achieving top SEO rankings can take a long time and become a real hassle. But, how do web designers expect to reach those coveted placements when seemingly everyone is fighting for them? There are certainly some 'easy fixes' to be found, but many will result in getting your site banned from Google and promoting bad general web practices. And, sure, you could shell out a ton of cash to search engine advertising programs– but they only work for the engine you submit to. In this article, we'll take a look at the best ways to improve your site's organic ranking on Google without breaking the bank… or your reputation.

Musa Publishing has accepted my manuscript. I signed the contract on Friday.
It looks like the novel will be released sometime in October of this year.
I will provide more details as they become available.
I am very happy and I want to thank everyone who has provided me support and encouragement over the years—especially my fellow authors. The people I have met through WordPress, Facebook, and Twitter have been wonderful. I am really glad that I discovered the #amwriting group; reading the posts there about both the tribulations and successes of other authors is inspirational. (And I constantly marvel at the word counts everyone strives for each day!)
In an earlier posting this month ( https://chrispavesic.com/2014/05/09/on-writing-writing-inspiration-from-other-authors/ ) I shared some advice from fellow writer Jim Butcher: "*NO ONE* can take your dream away." I truly believe this and I hope that the readers of my blog do as well.
Perseverance is the key word of the day. Keep at it, keep writing, and do not give up.

There is a big difference between an abusive trainer/owner and one that is a bad trainer or poor with customer service. If you witness animal cruelty, abuse, contact athorities ASAP, but make sure you know what is considered cruelty in you state. However if you don't like the trainer for what ever reason it is your option to tell who ever you want, but make sure you aren't expecting to much from the man or the dog. If I am asked about a particular person or product I feel I owe it to the person asking to tell my honest opinion, but will not express it with out being asked.

Columbia's Precedent
So wrote the Times in 1997 when Columbia University fostered the birth of the Labyrinth bookstore "in an elaborate process reminiscent of efforts to rescue the California condor from extinction and return it to the wild." Columbia's officials had spent years trying to cultivate a quality bookstore in its neighborhood. Jonathan R. Cole, the university's provost, put it this way: ''It becomes part of the general view of the university as a place where people interested in matters of the mind congregate. And that helps us attract scholars, attract students, retain scholars.''
Imagine: A university in New York City actually valued books and wanted them nearby. So do you know what they did? They made the rent abundantly affordable.
What has changed in this city since 1997 that Cooper Union could permit St. Mark's Bookshop to fail in hard times? What has changed that Cooper Union, where people who ostensibly value "matters of the mind," would not value its neighboring bookstore enough to keep it alive and thriving? What has changed that the East Village could become a university neighborhood (Cooper, NYU, SVA) without its own high-quality bookstore?
In 1997, Columbia's provost stated: "It is especially important, it seems to me, that universities offer some form of support to keep this kind of bookstore in existence."
So what has changed in this city between 1997 and today? (And it's not just about Apple and Amazon.)
Cooper Union's board meets tomorrow to decide the fate of St. Mark's Bookshop. Senator Daniel Squadron has written a letter urging the school to lower the rent. More than 35,000 people have signed a petition. And many of you have lifted the shop's revenue by buying books. Will Cooper Union's president, Jamshed Bharucha, follow Columbia's example and show the city that its institutions of higher learning still value books and "matters of the mind"? Or will he follow the new Bloomberg order and pay homage only to the bottom line?

And sign that petition--it's now at over 35,000 signatures.
Thanks to reader Robert for tipping me to this relationship between Columbia and Labyrinth Books, a bookshop now thriving as the recently expanded Book Culture--who says bookstores can't do well in Manhattan?
10 comments:
I don't know, but it seems to me that there was a sea change in what an education is (and by extension, what was "needed" for an quality education) when emphasis was placed on test results rather than understanding and comprehending a concept in its place in the greater scheme of life. Naturally, an environment such as a bookstore, where emphasis is on the latter has become undervalued.

I have to admit - when I turn down a street and start to see those purple "NYU" banners draped all over the place, I get a bad feeling - at this point it feels like the flag of an invading army that isn't yet satisfied with their present spoils.
On a positive note, I picked up a few books at St. Marks Bookshop last night: a signed copy of Store Front - The Disappearing Face of New York, Just Kids by Patti Smith, and Live Nude Girls by Sheila McClear.
Store Front would make a great coffee table book for any New Yorker that still gives a shit about what made New York different from so many suburban mall towns.
I hope everybody does their part to keep St. Marks going. I can't wait to get through these books, and get over there to pick up a few more - that little 'island' right past the cashier always has such great finds.

Labyrinth serves as one of the main text book store for Columbia. It falls somewhere between small independent store and arm of the University. Morningside Heights, much like Bergen street in Brooklyn, is a curated neighborhood designed by one of the wealthiest institutions in the City for it's members. I know that St. Marks is an institution, and I buy at least a dozen books there every year, but I have to admit that I buy more at Mast these days because they have a better selection (for what I'm interested in) and better prices.
If Cooper Union did lower rent, because it thought that St Marks fit in to the university feel of the neighborhood, would you criticize them as you have the design of Bergen street?
- September 23, 2011 at 4:35 PM
- Jeremiah Moss said...
Anon, i don't think we're going to have a curated neighborhood like Bergen, which could be deliberately constructed because it was all owned by the Pintchiks and they chose every business that went in there. so it's far from the same thing.
but what if St. Mark's became an "arm" of Cooper, a partner of some kind, supplying textbooks? maybe that's necessary for its survival. i think i can live with that. if Cooper bought them out and it became the Cooper Union Student Bookshop with Cooper tote bags and coffee mugs, and all that junk, no thanks.
and i also like Mast but i haven't been too excited by their selection. i walk into SMB and always see brand-new titles i didn't know were published and that excite me.
- September 23, 2011 at 7:45 PM
- Jeremiah Moss said...
also, for the record, i am by no means saying Columbia is an angel when it comes to the neighborhood. look what they're doing to Manhattanville--total land grab. but in this case (pre-Bloomberg era, too), they did right, and it provides a rational model for what could be done with SMB. that's the point of this post.

Copyright Compliance
HEOA Compliance Statement
September 2015
H.R 4137, the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA), is a reauthorization of the Higher Education Act. It includes provisions that are designed to reduce the illegal uploading and downloading of copyrighted works through peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing. Merrimack College has implemented the following plan to comply with the file sharing and copyright protection provisions of HEOA:
Annual Disclosure
The college sends a regular email (at least annually) to all students detailing institutional policies and sanctions related to copyright infringement, including—
(i) A statement that explicitly informs its students that unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material, including unauthorized peer-to-peer file sharing, may subject the students to civil and criminal liabilities;
(ii) A summary of the penalties for violation of Federal copyright laws; and
(iii) A description of the institution's policies with respect to unauthorized peer-to-peer file sharing, including disciplinary actions that are taken against students who engage in illegal downloading or unauthorized distribution of copyrighted materials using the institution's information technology system
This information is available to prospective students upon request.
Deterrent Plan
The college plan to effectively combat the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material by users of the college's network, without unduly interfering with educational and research use of the network, includes—
(i) A vigorous program of accepting and responding to Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notices
(ii) An annual email to all users designed to educate and inform the community about appropriate versus inappropriate use of copyrighted material
(iii) Procedures for handling unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material, including disciplinary procedures
(iv) An annual effectiveness review by the Designated Agent based on relevant assessment criteria
Legal Alternatives
The Designated Agent will periodically review the legal alternatives for downloading or otherwise acquiring copyrighted material and make them available below:
As of September 2015 the Designated Agent has found that legal alternatives for downloading or otherwise acquiring copyrighted material include, but are not limited to:
- purchasing the material via brick and mortar outlets (e.g., Wal-Mart and Best Buy)
- purchasing the material via online outlets like (e.g., walmart.com andbestbuy.com)
- meta sources such as www.educause.edu/legalcontent
Given the relative ease of legally acquiring copyrighted material, the college does not deem it practical to provide a competing alternative.

I just received this email from MR
The Rebels' Secret Weapon:
The Snowspeeder(tm)
Coming September 9th!
At the climax of the Battle of Hoth in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, the Imperial forces appeared unstoppable. The battle appeared to be one-sided as the AT-AT Imperial walkers lumbered towards their intended targets unhindered by cannon fire or Rebel heavy blasters. However, the Rebels had another weapon in their arsenal: the modified T-47 airspeeder, known more commonly as the Snowspeeder.
These swift, two-man vehicles utilized repulsor-lift technology to hover above the ground. Two primary engines in the rear provided forward momentum, while a pilot and a rear gunner occupied the tiny cockpit in the center. In addition to two blaster cannons mounted atop the wings, this light-weight craft also carried a cannon/harpoon launcher in the rear. Using this harpoon and an attached tow-cable, one of these small snowspeeders was able to topple over a mighty AT-AT.
Expertly Recreated at 3/4 Scale
In the real world, these fascinating vehicles were created by the ILM model crew in resin, metal, and plastic. There were several different sizes of miniature models created for filming. These ranged from tiny models only a few inches long, to a four-foot long model used for close-up shots like the scene when the foot of an AT-AT crushes Luke's Snowspeeder. Several full-sized speeder mockups were also created for action shots of the actors.
Master Replicas focused on the 21-inch studio scale models that were used for most of the primary shots in the film. The models varied substantially in detailing and markings, so our designers sought out the model with the gray stripes that was used by Luke Skywalker. By comparing the archived models to screen grabs we were able to locate the exact model and used it as our master reference pattern. Our design team took hundreds of photographs of the prop and obtained color chips of the paint in order to create an exact match of the prop's coloring.
Because the cockpit of the 21-inch studio model was not designed for close up shots, Master Replicas' designers worked with Lucasfilm to create a composite of both the studio model and full-size sets. The result is a replica that looks realistic and maintains the attention to detail expected by our collectors. The Master Replicas 3/4 studio-scale snowspeeder replica is a perfect balance of size, value and collectability.
Almost a year of research and development has gone into the creation of this second model in Master Replicas' collection of Star Wars vehicles. It has been designed and engineered to last for many years and we hope that it will become a centerpiece of your collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
I am pregnant or thinking about having a baby. Should I be tested for HIV?
If you are thinking of having a child or you are already pregnant, it is important that you get tested for HIV. There are many pregnant women who are HIV positive and do not know about it.
If you are HIV positive and you are aware of this infection, then there are very good prevention strategies available to decrease the risk of your child becoming infected. Without any kind of prevention strategy, the risk of mother-to-child transmission is about 25%. However, if prevention strategies begin in sufficient time, this risk can be reduced to 1%.
Learn about HIV testing during pregnancy in Canada at Caring for Kids - Testing for HIV
I am/we are HIV positive. Is it possible to conceive safely?
There is information available to help infected partners or couples take protective measures to help reduce the risk of transmitting HIV infection to their partners and babies. The counsellors and health professionals at our toll-free Motherisk HIV Healthline can provide you with information and written resources to minimize the risk to non-infected partners.
The reproductive options of HIV-infected couples and more specific information for couples when the male partner is infected and the woman is not, can be found at:
The Body - Reproductive Options
HIV In Site
I am/my female partner is HIV positive. Is pregnancy harmful to the health of women with HIV infection?
Studies indicate that pregnancy does not harm the health of women with HIV infection or increase the chance of women developing HIV related illnesses. Additional information about planning for a healthy pregnancy for women with HIV infection can be found at Project Inform
I am HIV positive and pregnant. Will my baby be infected as well?
Most babies born to HIV-positive mothers will not get HIV. But some will. A baby can get HIV from its mother during pregnancy (before birth), during delivery (the most common way babies get infected), and through breast feeding.
There is approximately a one-in-four chance of mother-to-child transmission of HIV infection without any treatment. But, treatments and interventions exist that have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of infection to babies. If you would like to learn more about mother-to-baby HIV infection, register with MEDSCAPE and use their search engine to find articles on "Perinatal HIV."
During pregnancy and delivery, you can take antiretrovial drugs to reduce the risk of transmission. If you take a combination of antiretoviral drugs during pregnancy and delivery, and your newborn receives one of these drugs, the chance of transmission drops to about 1%.
Other strategies that can help to reduce the risk of infection include a shortened delivery time, and in some circumstances delivery by Cesarean section. Additional information about reducing the risk of HIV transmission to babies can be found at:
The Body - pregnancy and HIV
The Body - Antriretoviral Therapy
If I am HIV positive and pregnant, should I deliver the baby by cesarean section?
Whether you should deliver by Cesarean-section or vaginally depends on your HIV viral load level (how much of the virus is circulating in your blood) at the time of delivery.
If you are not taking any medication to lower your viral load or if you are just taking zidovudine, it is likely that your viral load will not be low enough to deliver vaginally without a significat risk of transmission of HIV to the baby. In this case, a Cesarean section would reduce the risk of transmission by half.
However, if you are taking a combination drug therapy to control your infection and the amount of virus circulating in your blood is undetectable, then there is no clear advantage to a Cesarean delivery compared to vaginal delivery. You should talk to your doctor, who can look at your particular situation, and provide appropriate advice concerning the mode of delivery for you.
If I take antiretroviral drugs during pregnancy, will that hurt my baby?
The use of antiretroviral drugs in prevention programs began around 1994, therefore, the number of women who have taken these drugs is still small and the babies born to these women are still young. It is too early to say for sure that there will be no problems. Until now, no major problems have been identified in children exposed to antiretroviral drugs.
If you have any further questions about taking HIV drugs during pregnancy, or want specific information about particular drugs or drug interactions you should call The Motherisk HIV Healthline 1-888-246-5840. You can visit CATIE and HIV Medication Guide
If I am HIV positive, can I breast feed my baby?
No. Breast milk is one way to pass on HIV to your baby. Your baby should receive infant formula as a safe alternative to breast milk. Studies have shown a 14% rate of HIV transmission when mothers with HIV breast feed their babies.
In Canada there are programs to provide free formula for babies of mothers with HIV. If you live in Ontario you should contact the Teresa Group at (416) 596-7703 or www.teresagroup.org to receive this service.
In other parts of Canada contact the Canadian AIDS Society (CAS) for information at (613)230-3580 or call the Motherisk HIV Healthline toll-free number at 1-888-246-5840. Additional information on HIV and breastfeeding can be found at The Body - HIV and Breast Feeding
Do babies with HIV infection look different?
When will I know whether my baby is HIV positive?
Three successive blood tests are performed which taken together indicate whether the virus has been passed on to your child:
- Within the first few days of the baby being born;
- At 1 month of age; and
- At 2 to 4 months of age
If all three of these tests are negative for HIV, then the baby does not have HIV infection. If any of the above tests are positive, then another test is done. If two of the tests are positive, then the baby is infected with HIV. Additional information about HIV testing of children can be found at ">Canadian Paediatric Society.
If I am HIV positive, will my baby need any extra medicine?
Yes. Your baby should take an antiretroviral drug called zidovudine in syrup form for six weeks after birth. Zidovudine will provide further protection against HIV infection.
At six weeks following completion of antiretroviral therapy babies should receive an antibiotic called trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) commonly known as Septra and manufactured by Glaxo Wellcome Inc. An alternative to Septra is an antibiotic called Bactrim, manufactured by Hoffmann-La Roche Limited.
These antibiotics are given to babies for six weeks (or until it is confirmed that the baby is not infected) to help prevent pneumonia that often occurs in babies with HIV infection. Visit the Canadian Paediatric Society for information about the care of HIV-exposed infants.
Should my baby get the same vaccines (needles or shots) as other babies?
Yes. Your baby should follow the same vaccine schedule as other babies. Visit the Canadian Paediatric Society on care of the HIV-exposed infant for further information.
Should I take my baby to an expert?
In order to ensure that you and your baby receive optimal services and information your doctor should check with a specialist in HIV and children. An HIV specialist is typically part of a team of health care workers that includes doctors, nurses, social workers, dieticians, pharmacists, physiotherapists and occupational therapists. Some of these people may be useful resources for you as well. A list of provincial centres that provide HIV care for children is included on this website.
Where can I find additional sources of information about pregnancy and HIV?
The following Web sites provide useful information and resources for women and couples to help in pregnancy and treatment decisions.
Caring for Kids
The Body - Women and HIV
Positive Women's Network
What should I know about nutrition?
Nutrition plays an important role in maintaining health, especially for people living with HIV infection. Visit FXBCenter and HIVATIS for information on nutrition and health.
How do people get HIV?
HIV is found in blood, semen (the fluid containing sperm), vaginal fluid, and breast milk. A person can become infected in one or more of the following ways:
- Sex (vaginal, anal, or oral) with a person who is infected with HIV.
- Sharing needles contaminated with HIV-infected blood.
- Receiving a transfusion of infected blood (extremely uncommon since 1985).
- Perinatal transmission that involves a baby becoming infected while in the mother's womb or during birth, if the mother has HIV.
- Mothers can pass HIV to their babies through breastmilk.
Further information about HIV transmission can be found at the FXB Center
Can HIV be prevented?
Since we know the ways that HIV is spread, we know how to keep people from getting infected. Contact with blood, semen or vaginal fluids should be AVOIDED and mothers with HIV should not breast feed their infants. Gloves should be warn when contact with blood is likely to occur. In the event of an accidental exposure to blood, immediate washing of the area with soap and water usually provides adequate protection unless the blood is able to enter the skin through an open wound. General basic prevention information can be found at the FXB Center - HIV Basics
Is there a place I can go to learn more about HIV terms?
Yes, the FXB Center includes a glossary that can be used to search out unfamiliar words or medical terms related to HIV infection.

2.50: Valence Electrons
Did you ever play the card game called go fish? Players try to form groups of cards of the same value, such as four sevens, with the cards they are dealt or by getting cards from other players or the deck. This give and take of cards is a simple analogy for the way atoms give and take valence electrons in chemical reactions.
What Are Valence Electrons?
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer energy level of an atom that can participate in interactions with other atoms. Valence electrons are generally the electrons that are farthest from the nucleus. As a result, they may be attracted as much or more by the nucleus of another atom than they are by their own nucleus.
Electron Dot Diagrams
Because valence electrons are so important, atoms are often represented by simple diagrams that show only their valence electrons. These are called electron dot diagrams, and three are shown below. In this type of diagram, an element's chemical symbol is surrounded by dots that represent the valence electrons. Typically, the dots are drawn as if there is a square surrounding the element symbol with up to two dots per side. An element never has more than eight valence electrons, so there can't be more than eight dots per atom.
Q: Carbon (C) has four valence electrons. What does an electron dot diagram for this element look like?
A: An electron dot diagram for carbon looks like this:
Valence Electrons and the Periodic Table
The number of valence electrons in an atom is reflected by its position in the periodic table of the elements (see the periodic table below). Across each row, or period, of the periodic table, the number of valence electrons in groups 1–2 and 13–18 increases by one from one element to the next. Within each column, or group, of the table, all the elements have the same number of valence electrons. This explains why all the elements in the same group have very similar chemical properties.
For elements in groups 1–2 and 13–18, the number of valence electrons is easy to tell directly from the periodic table. This is illustrated in the simplified periodic table in Figure below. It shows just the numbers of valence electrons in each of these groups. For elements in groups 3–12, determining the number of valence electrons is more complicated. You can learn more about the valence electrons of elements in these groups at this URL: http://www.colorado.edu/physics/2000/periodic_table/transition_elements.html.
Q: Based on both periodic tables above, what are examples of elements that have just one valence electron? What are examples of elements that have eight valence electrons? How many valence electrons does oxygen (O) have?
A: Any element in group 1 has just one valence electron. Examples include hydrogen (H), lithium (Li), and sodium (Na). Any element in group 18 has eight valence electrons (except for helium, which has a total of just two electrons). Examples include neon (Ne), argon (Ar), and krypton (Kr). Oxygen, like all the other elements in group 16, has six valence electrons.
Valence Electrons and Reactivity
The table salt pictured in the Figure below contains two elements that are so reactive they are rarely found alone in nature. Instead, they undergo chemical reactions with other elements and form compounds. Table salt is the compound named sodium chloride (NaCl). It forms when an atom of sodium (Na) gives up an electron and an atom of chlorine (Cl) accepts it. When this happens, sodium becomes a positively charged ion (Na+), and chlorine becomes a negatively charged ion (Cl-). The two ions are attracted to each and join a matrix of interlocking sodium and chloride ions, forming a crystal of salt.
Table salt (sodium chloride).
Q: Why does sodium give up an electron?
A: An atom of a group 1 element such as sodium has just one valence electron. It is "eager" to give up this electron in order to have a full outer energy level, because this will give it the most stable arrangement of electrons. You can see how this happens in the animation at the following URL and in the Figure below. Group 2 elements with two valence electrons are almost as reactive as elements in group 1 for the same reason.
Q: Why does chlorine accept the electron from sodium?
A: An atom of a group 17 element such as chlorine has seven valence electrons. It is "eager" to gain an extra electron to fill its outer energy level and gain stability. Group 16 elements with six valence electrons are almost as reactive for the same reason.
Atoms of group 18 elements have eight valence electrons (or two in the case of helium). These elements already have a full outer energy level, so they are very stable. As a result, they rarely if ever react with other elements. Elements in other groups vary in their reactivity but are generally less reactive than elements in groups 1, 2, 16, or 17.
Q: Find calcium (Ca) in the periodic table above. Based on its position in the table, how reactive do you think calcium is? Name another element with which calcium might react.
A: Calcium is a group 2 element with two valence electrons. Therefore, it is very reactive and gives up electrons in chemical reactions. It is likely to react with an element with six valence electrons that "wants" to gain two electrons. This would be an element in group 6, such as oxygen.
Valence Electrons and Electricity
Valence electrons also determine how well—if at all—the atoms of an element conduct electricity. The copper wires in the cable in the Figure below are coated with plastic. Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity, so it is used for wires that carry electric current. Plastic contains mainly carbon, which cannot conduct electricity, so it is used as insulation on the wires.
Q: Why do copper and carbon differ in their ability to conduct electricity?
A: Atoms of metals such as copper easily give up valence electrons. Their electrons can move freely and carry electric current. You can see in detail how this occurs at the URL below. Atoms of nonmetals such as the carbon, on the other hand, hold onto their electrons. Their electrons can't move freely and carry current.
A few elements, called metalloids, can conduct electricity, but not as well as metals. Examples include silicon and germanium in group 14. Both become better conductors at higher temperatures. These elements are called semiconductors.
Q: How many valence electrons do atoms of silicon and germanium have? What happens to their valence electrons when the atoms are exposed to an electric field?
A: Atoms of these two elements have four valence electrons. When the atoms are exposed to an electric field, the valence electrons move away from the atoms and allow current to flow.
- Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer energy level of an atom that can participate in interactions with other atoms.
- Because valence electrons are so important, atoms may be represented by electron dot diagrams that show only their valence electrons.
- The number of valence electrons in atoms may cause them to be unreactive or highly reactive. For those atoms that are reactive, the number of valence electrons also determines whether they tend to give up or gain electrons in chemical reactions.
- Metals, which easily give up electrons, can conduct electricity. Nonmetals, which attract electrons, generally cannot. Metalloids such as silicon and germanium can conduct electricity but not as well as metals.

9 biscuits.
Served warm, these cheesy biscuits are a perfect companion to a bowl of soup on a chilly night. Parmesan or Swiss may be substituted for the Cheddar and scallion for the chives.
Position a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended. With a pastry blender or two table knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until its texture is fine and looks a little like cornmeal, with some butter chunks the size of peas. Stir in the chives and grated cheese. Add the buttermilk and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough is wet, sticky, and shaggy; small areas of dry ingredients are fine. Turn the dough out on to an unfloured board and knead about 12 times until the dough comes together and is smooth. Lightly flour the board and pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick square. Use a sharp knife to trim the edges of the square; this helps the biscuits rise. Cut the square into nine smaller squares. Transfer the biscuits to the lined baking sheet. Bake until firm and lightly golden brown on top and golden brown on bottom, 18 to 23 min.

Hey Meredith,
I feel kind of silly writing in about this but it's a real issue. Let's get right to it without any food-related innuendo (I promise no grilled cheese euphemisms here).
Basically, I am in a phenomenal relationship. My fiance and I -- both in our early 30s -- are like puzzle pieces. All of the obnoxious cliches are true. We are best friends, we never fight, we have each other's best interests in mind, etc. etc. There is no doubt that I want to be near this person on the regular for the rest of my life.
But one thing has gone mysteriously missing ... our sex life. And I'm scared about that. Now I know all about the end of the "honeymoon period" where you're amazed that you even got dressed long enough to leave the house. I know that moving in together can also take some of the steam and sizzle out of the bedroom. We don't have any weird expectations about it happening every night, so it's not even like there's too much pressure on it. What I'm afraid might be happening has unfortunately been confirmed by others who have been in very long relationships or have been married: we're becoming roommates.
We are still very much physically attracted to each other and still in love so it's not disinterest in that sense. But I guess the easiest way to put it is that we just don't think about it as often anymore. I know I was starting to feel that way and so I asked him about it, and he admitted that despite being a guy and the fact that he could pretty much be ready at the drop of a hat if I was so inclined, he doesn't just sit around thinking about it. We've both just become content with each other's company and friendship, and I'm really afraid of letting that comfort level overtake sexual intimacy, which I believe is a really vital ingredient to a healthy, successful relationship.
My bottom line is that I don't know how to make myself get in the mood or how to put us back to a place where it's a priority again without making it this weird agenda item that feels insincere and forced. I find that I often have a hard time relaxing enough to want it, and sometimes, even if the whole mood is set (candles, wine, etc.), I still have a hard time being present. I thought 30s were the sexual peak for women!? I feel slightly defective, and we're not even married yet!
How can we regenerate our sex life in a way that doesn't feel forced or inauthentic? Have your readers in long-term relationships gone through this? How do we avoid the roommate curse on our otherwise perfect relationship?
Thanks for any and all advice,
– Friends with No Benefits, Boston
This is about time, FWNB. Sex tends to happen when you're 100 percent focused on your partner -- when you're really listening to them, when you notice the way they breathe ... the way they return your stare. (Cue the Sade.)
In the beginning of a relationship, focus is easy because of the infatuation. But when you get into a daily routine with someone you love, you have to make time to shut out the rest of the world.
Yes, you guys live together. But do you actually have time for flirtatious dinners and naps that involve more than just napping? I'm not talking about cheesy, "inauthentic" dates with candles. I'm talking about real hangout time. Make sure that your quality hours together aren't just about paying bills, planning a wedding, and eating in front of the television quickly so that you can pass out before the next day.
Also, sex is great and all, but hand-holding is a lovely gateway drug. I'm not talking about walking-down-the-street hand-holding. I'm talking about we're-on-the-couch-and-touching-just-for-the-sake-of-it hand action (yeah, I just said hand action -- be grown-ups). When you get close for no good reason, your brain is reminded of the possibilities.
Make time. Stay relaxed. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Work the gateway drug. Evaluate again after a few more months.
Readers? Is this normal? Any suggestions? Will their sex life return? Does it ever get better? What can they do without trying too hard? Tips, please.
– Meredith
