What's Your Selfie Technique?
Oh, don't pretend like you don't have one!
I'm sure that by now most of you have seen the new Marc Jacobs Spring 2014 ad featuring Miley Cyrus. In case you haven't, it shows Miley
sitting on a dark beach, staring sullenly into the distance while a model lurks behind her and a another model is flopped down on the ground next to her. If I
had to guess, I would say that the story behind this ad campaign is… zombies?
All jokes aside, I actually quite like this. It's obviously a change from
Miley's usual look. There's no platinum blonde hair, her makeup is very
minimal, and there's no tongue wagging. It's
a very sexy androgynous look, and you guys know I'm into that.
Naturally, I had to try it myself.
First, you want your skin to look as flawless as possible.
Depending on your coverage needs, you could use a BB cream, foundation, or even
just some concealer. I used my Clinique Redness Solutions Makeup in the
lightest shade, Calming Alabaster.
This foundation is great if you have problems with redness but
want a natural look.
Next, to really capture the dark moodiness of her eyes, I used
two coats of my favorite mascara, CoverGirl LashBlast Volume (I prefer the
waterproof version). I'm sure I've mentioned this mascara before, but once
more: it's great. It lasts forever, doesn't smear on my hooded eyes, and really
lengthens my lashes without any clumps. I've tried so many mascaras, and this is still my HG.
The most important step is contouring. The dark shadow under Miley's
cheekbone immediately stood out to me. Few of us have that naturally, but it's
easy to recreate with some bronzer.
I like to rely on the bronzer from my
e.l.f. Contouring Blush and Bronzer set for this. My kabuki brush is also from
e.l.f., and it's a great quality brush for those on a budget.
The key to contouring is to follow the natural shape of your
face, and to be careful not to use too much bronzer. I like to tap a few dots
of bronzer going in a line from my temple, under my cheekbone. You can suck in
your cheeks to see where to put the bronzer but I prefer to face a light source
(a window is best) and see where the shadows fall on my face naturally. Then
blend it really well with your kabuki brush.
I also blended some bronzer under my bottom lip, at my temples,
and under my jaw line.
Miley's face is really glowy in this ad as well, so I added
some highlighter on top of my cheekbones, chin, above my brows and down my
My favorite highlighter is Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in
Opal, but I only have a free sample of it because at $41. it's pricy. If you're
on a budget, I also like Sonia Kashuk's Chic Luminosity Highlighter Stick in
Sparkling Sands, which I bought at Target for about $11. Just make sure you
apply it with your fingers, not straight from the stick!
Her lips are very shiny too. I used plain old Vaseline for
that, which made me wonder which super-expensive product the makeup artist used.
The last big step is the hair. Obviously this is easiest if you
have a pixie cut. If you have longer hair with long, piecey bangs, you could
try slicking your hair back in a low ponytail or bun and then mussing up your
bangs in the front.
Here's how I did it: I wet my hair generously and slicked back
the sides. Then I artfully arranged the front of my hair into piecey swoops
with my fingers.
It's all held in place with Lush Dirty Hair Creme, which I
gave to my boyfriend for Christmas and keep stealing back for my own use. It
smells great (a very sexy guy scent, which is appropriate for this tomboy look)
but more importantly, it has amazing all-day hold without the crunchiness and
stickiness of gel. Definitely get this if you or any men you know are in the
market for a good hair creme.
Once I had spent half an hour trying to get my hair disheveled just right, I sat down on my bed and
tried to think of the saddest things I could: the beginning of Up, that time my crush kissed me and it
turned out it was just because my cousin asked him to, running out of Toaster
Strudels, last week's episode of The
Bachelor when Juan Pablo was so excited to give the first impression rose
to the opera singer and then she said "Seriously?"
because she didn't even like him back. (It was like watching someone kick a
puppy and I'd had a lot of wine by that point, OK?)
There's few final details you'll need if you want to take this
look all the way. Her short black nails (I used Sally Hansen Complete Salon
Manicure in Onyx) made me happy, since my attempts at long nails keep snapping
off painfully. Thanks for trying to make short nails chic again, Miley.
Also, in case you want to copy her tattoos, remember Tattly? This anchor tattoo is pretty great.
If you can't draw a basic heart on yourself then we probably wouldn't have been
friends in middle school. I could have recreated her tats but I chose not to,
since I'm not going for a Halloween costume (wouldn't zombie Miley Cyrus be a
great Halloween costume?). I also didn't have a dark, gloomy beach to sit on,
or expensive designer duds to wear.
Regardless, I hope you liked this look as much as I did.
Fingers crossed that Miley sticks with the angsty androgynous look; I think
it's working for her.

The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470), establishes the legal and administrative context within which State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs) relate to and participate in the national historic preservation program.
The Act establishes a program of matching grants to the states through which the federal government assists the SHPOs in carrying out their historic preservation responsibilities.
Presently, federal law provides that at least 10 percent of the annual Historic Preservation Fund grant allocation to Pennsylvania be set aside for distribution to Certified Local Governments (CLG). This amount is approximately $115,000. The Certified Local Government Grant is the only grant offered under this program.
Please submit all application materials by email to Bryan Van Sweden by 5:00 pm.
CLG grant applications are NOT submitted through the PHMC eGrant application website.
Please download the FY 2017 Certified Local Government Grant Application (MS Word) and consult the updated Certified Local Government Grant Guidelines and Instructions (PDF) to complete the FY 2017 Certified Local Government grant application.
Please contact your regional Community Preservation Coordinator if you plan to submit a CLG grant.
Certified Local Government (CLG) Grants require a 50/50 match.
Grant awards are subject to the annual availability of funds from the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service. Funding is based on the federal fiscal year, October through September.
No certified local government can receive more than 30 percent of the available share of funds unless this requirement would preclude the award of the required 10 percent allocation.
Funding under this program is limited to Certified Local Governments. (See "How to Become a Certified Local Government" at the end of this section.) Designation as a Certified Local Government under federal law should not be confused with the certification of local districts under the Historic District Act passed by the Pennsylvania General Assembly in 1961. Clarification in this regard may be obtained by contacting the grant administrator. Please refer to the Contact and Forms page.
Municipalities do not have to achieve Certified Local Government status at the time the grant application is due, but they must have achieved Certified Local Government status by the contract start date in order to receive grant funds.
In order to be eligible to receive a portion of the local share of the Federal Historic Preservation Fund allocation to Pennsylvania, the Department of the Interior requires that each Certified Local Government:
There are a number of general conditions for Certified Local Government Grants.
Certified Local Government Grants may not be used to fund the following:
CLG funded activities must meet the goals and objectives of the Pennsylvania Historic Preservation Plan (PDF).
The Application Submission Deadline for Federal FY 2016 is January 11, 2016.
The following timetable for processing grant applications and implementing projects is provided for your information and as a planning guide. Remember, grant awards are subject to the availability of funds from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service.

Spring 2017Award/Rejection Letters and Grant Agreements Mailed to Applicants
August 2017Project Start Date/Fully Executed Grant Agreement
July 31, 2018Project End Date/Final Reports Due
Projects will not be extended beyond the twelve (12) month implementation period.
Eligible applicants may submit only one application for a Certified Local Government Grant.
Applicants meeting the relevant eligibility requirements may apply for and may receive one Certified Local Government grant, one type of Keystone Historic Preservation grant (either Construction or Project grant) in a fiscal year.
Please review the grant program guidelines for each category of support.
Applicants are required to submit a completed application as outlined in the Certified Local Government Grant Program Guidelines and Application Instructions. CLG grant applications submitted via the eGrant will not be accepted.
The National Historic Preservation Act amendments of 1980 that established the Certified Local Government Program contains five broad standards, all of which must be met by the Historic Architectural Review Board (HARB) or the local historical preservation commission before the local government can be certified.

Creative research laboratory - Lyon
Theater / Dance / Circus / Music
Laboratoire international
de création artistique – Lyon
From 25 to 27 october 2013
Szóról szóra ("word for word") brings to mind a series of crimes committed against the Roma in Hungary between 2008 and 2009 and explores the underlying causes of the Roma community's situation in Hungarian society today. While the majority of Hungarians disapprove of such acts, they are evidence of pervasive discrimination. To create the text for this piece, Anna Lengyel used the verbatim theater method, which consists in transcribing, word for word, the testimony of real people. The actors determine the sentence length and order, but do not otherwise stylize or adapt the texts gathered during the various interviews.
Anna Lengyel and her team have gathered more than 60 hours of testimony from survivors, immediate family members, lawyers, police officers, mayors, heads of local governments or simple passers-by. They also rely heavily on statements by Hungarian public figures and have studied how the events have been treated by the media.

My jiu-jitsu instructor often offers this sterling piece of advice: "Leave people alone." In other words, don't go looking for trouble. Were I to add anything to this simple maxim, it would be this: "Leave people who can beat the living hell out of you alone, especially."
Twitter user Jimmyob88, who goes by the name "The Master", may have come to the same realization recently after taunting retired footballer and light-welterweight boxer Curtis Woodhouse. After receiving several insulting Tweets from "The Master", Woodhouse offered £1,000 to any follower who could provide him with his tormentor's address.
After receiving the information, Woodhouse paid "The Master" a visit.
From Ireland's The Independent:
The user jimmyob88 continued to mock the athlete: "what u going to do knock me out like your last opponent ooops"
However when Curtis tweeted the name and address of the user, he suddenly backed down: "chill out pal i was only doing it so you would bite back it was only a bit of harmless fun"
The boxer later tweeted: "just on my way to sheffield to have a little chat with a old friend, get the kettle on @jimmyob88"
A worried jimmyob88 tweeted: "i was only joking about Didnt think you would be bothered thought you would take them as a joke"
"i am sorry its getting abit out of hand i am in the wrong i accept that" he said in another message.
However Curtis was undeterred, and posted a picture of himself at the address to prove he was there, calling out the "keyboard warrior".
After an hour it appeared as though Curtis had given up, as he tweeted: "[@jimmyob88] never came out to play so im going back home! maybe a bit daft what i did today but sometimes enough is enough"
What do you think, Disinfonauts? Did this qualify as a "win" for the troll, or an abject humiliation? Having been bothered a few times online myself, I can certainly understand Woodhouse's motivations, although I'd never take things that far.

Jennifer Lopez And Steven Tyler Finally Confirmed As American Idol Judges
One of the worst-kept secrets in Hollywood — or anywhere, for that matter — was revealed today as Fox at last announced Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler will join Randy Jackson at the judges' table for the 10th season of American Idol. It's a little anticlimactic, but what can you do?
In addition, Jimmy Iovine, chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Records, will serve as an in-house mentor for the contestants. He's an industry veteran who has produced albums for the likes of U2, Eminem, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Stevie Nicks and Patti Smith.
The participation of Lopez and Tyler has been a given for some time, who reports emerging in mid-August that the Aerosmith frontman had signed on for considerably less money than his fellow judge, who reportedly asked for "north of $20 million." (That's still considerably less than the estimated $36 million a year made by Simon Cowell.)
The 10th season of American Idol kicks off in January.

Heres the long and short of it...Its been a while since ive posted..hope everyone is doing well..but I have a very bad torn rotator cuff and nerve damage in my neck and two herniated discs..and strained tendons in my shoulder as well...not sure what that is but...I have been on 40mg oxycontin 4X a day for over a year now with 30mg oxycodone for breakthru 4x a day as needed..my doc recently implemented urine testing after 2 years ive not been tested once...but all is well on that..i always come up clean except for the meds im being prescribed...he now tests evertime i go...and had begun to cut my meds im not down to 90 40mg oxys and 60 30mg oxycodone in two months...which is a steep cut down for no reason...and with no other options other than surgery..My problem is financially and family reasons i cannot have surgery until February or March the earliest..Ive tried explaining this to my doc but its like a bother to deal with anything that has to do with medication..as it is im on bi weekly trigger injections which help but due to my activity level i cannot be without my meds and my quality of life a dropped considerably over the past two months...I can barely do anything..and no my business and my relationships are suffering cause im always pissy and in pain...My only option at this point is to look for another doc but now adays that throws up a red flag as a drug seeker...Ive never been to another doc other than my PM doc and ahve not had any problems other than once when someone destroyed my whole script
which was an exspensive lesson to learn considreing my meds cost about
$1000 w/o ins. Anyone in North Western NJ or Eastern PA know of a good doc?

Hi Centurion,
Welcome back. Gosh I'm sorry to hear about
the awful treatment you've received. You might try going to a university/teaching hospital. It might help on the "drug seeker" thing. Someone seeking isn't about
to go to a place with a very high profile. Have you been to a surgeon? Can he suggest someone? Or can you be
open with this doc and tell him that you feel you need a better quality of life and can he recommend someone? That's probably pushing it but hey, it's a thought.
Also, check for Chronic Pain groups in your area. They may have ideas where the good docs are there. I'm no help...I live in NW Washington state not too far from Seattle...and yep, it's raining...lol

Ever though about
the possibility your doc wants you to take less medication in preparation of the surgery? I often had to lower my dosages before anaesthesia (my surgery usually camein cycles of several opeartions a week during a couple of weeks, one cycle in Spring and one in Fall). It reduces the chance of complications during surgery and, as you will probably get other medication right after the surgery, it will prevent you from becoming increasingly dependent. It is a common practice here in Belgium.
If this is the case, then you have a good doctor. Taken into account the limkited amount of time doctors have in some countries, I can imagine they fail to explain their reasons, they often do, even when they do have the time. Could be he told you, maybe a long time ago, your initial levels couldn't be maintained for ever. A recent study in the Netherland pointed out that patients, for various reasons (anxiety, pain, shyness, etc.), do not consciously register about
70% their doctors tell them. The doctors on the other hand take notes and often do remember. If this doc has been good for you for two years, why don't you just trust him? After all, he's the expert.
Think about
it will you.

Hi Centurion,
To be honest with you,
you are not going to find another doctor that will prescribe oxycontin 4X/day. My guess is that the reason your doctor is cutting you dose is because the DEA is looking at his records. 40mg oxycontin is the most most valuable pill/mg on the street, and most desired dose to sell. More important, because of pharmacology, there is no reason to take oxycontin 4x/day. It should be only taken 2-3X/day. If 2-3X/day does not work, then the dose should be increase not the number of times it is taken per day. Add the short-acting 30mg oxycodone, and your doctor is likely concerned you are selling your meds, hence the urine drug screens. You may be able to find a doctor that will increase you to oxycontin 60mg 3/day, but you will not find another doctor to prescibe 40mg 4x/day. Unless the doctor himself is crooked, which unfortunatly does happen.
Best of luck

Hi Centurion,
I'm SO sorry you're having such problems w/ your doctor & meds. I've been through this type of thing w/ my Dr. too. You're NOT a drug addict & I'm sure you're not selling your meds on the street! Heck, you need your meds too much for your own pain. Unless another person, including your Dr., suffers w/ the severity of pain you do, they cannot understand how badly you need these meds & dosages. Pain is such a personal thing. If we were Dx w/ cancer or "looked" sick, others would have so much more compassion & understanding. I hope you're able to get the meds you need. You should not have to worry abt your meds in addition to having so much pain!
My thoughts & Prayers will be w/ you.

Centurion...kman is probably right about
the not dosing oxycontin more than 3x per day. It's well known that most pain patients do not get the 12 hours of relief that's suggested by the labeling on oxycontin. However, the DEA doesn't like to see more than 3x per day dosing. It's automatically suspect to them. This is something that I've actually talked to my primary about
and that is what I was told.
Chutz had a great suggestion with looking for some sort of a teaching hospital. Not only does it reduce the possibility of being labeled as a drug seeker, but also they may be able to help you with resources on finding assistance with the cost of the medications. Most teaching facilities are also charitable hospitals are are accustomed to dealing with people that have little or no income, and/or no insurance, so they are more familiar with what resources are available.
Or you could simply try talking to your current doc. I know that you're upset with him but you may be able to get him to raise the long acting meds so that the loss of the BT doses isn't as significant. Also, if he's not agreeable to that, then you might want to ask for some sort of referral to another PM doc with the explanation that you're not happy with your treatment anymore. If he provides you a referral, all the better as it's not so much considered doctor shopping and you're not likely to be labeled as such. If your doc happens to be under watch or investigation from the DEA then he may be happy to get you off his caseload.
I don't wish you to be out of meds. We all know how awful that is. But you may want to probe him to find out why the change. You mentioned that he did the "steep cutdown for no reason." Usually if doctors think that you're diverting (selling) or misusing they'll usually be blunt with you. As you posted in another thread about
how it was that you popped a false positive for cocaine, you already know that this office and staff will tell you if they think that you're up to no good. Is it possible that your cut down could be related to that incident?
Sorry if you feel like I'm picking at you, I'm just grasping at straws for ideas here. I hope you're able to find some better relief soon. It's rotten being in pain like that and having it affect how you act/react. I know that when I'm having a day that I hurt more my poor bf usually gets the brunt of it as he's the closest to me.

2. Quality Of Characters
The news is not so good on this front. Tim Allen is essentially playing the same rather manly beer-drinking and car-loving dude who must be kept in check by his wife in this series that he has played in a good chunk of his roles in the past. That's definite retread, but that's also Tim Allen doing Tim Allen jokes, so if you like the man, it shouldn't be a problem.
The rest of the characters are not super exciting, all seeming like stereotypes or slight variations on a stereotype. There's the wife who's smart but tolerates Mike's macho-ness. There are three daughters—the one who got knocked up, the one who's kind of a slut, and the one who is smarter than the rest of the siblings. It's pretty much the same dynamic as Modern Family's the Pritchetts, but without the zaniness of Luke. The youngest daughter, Eve, played by Justified's Kaitlyn Dever is a standout on screen, however, and often gets the last joke.

The Cinque Terre is a marvelous tourist destination featuring five seaside villages at the foot of terraced hills that fall steeply toward the sea. It is a wonderful place to enjoy the fabulous vistas by hiking amongst the vineyards and olive groves above the villages.
But this ancient land is groaning under the masses of tourists who come to enjoy the little villages, especially in the summer. You'll want to plan ahead if you want to stay in the Cinque Terre, especially with advance hotels or vacation apartment reservations.

Cinque Terre: The 5 Villages
The five villages that make up the Cinque Terre, from north to south are:
- Monterosso al Mare
- Vernazza
- Corniglia
- Manarola
- Riomaggiore
Levanto is the next town north of the Cinque Terre. Portovenere, to the south, is also a well known Italian tourist resort town.
Getting There
Train. The map shows the train line that runs from Genoa through the Cinque Terre, to Pisa and on to Rome.
The train is the easiest way to get to the Cinque Terre. From Genoa (Genova), take the local train toward La Spezia and get off at your destination, or take the express directly to La Spezia and the local back to your Cinque Terra destination. Genoa is about 130 km to the north. From La Spezia, take the local ("Regionale") train toward Sestre Levante, stopping at your destination. Riomaggiore is the first stop after La Spezia.
Check rail times and prices:
- From Genoa to La Spezia
- From Rome to La Spezia
- From Florence to La Spezia
Rail Europe also offers great money-saving train passes for 3, 4, 5 or more days of unlimited train travel in Italy.
Expect the regional trains to be very crowded. Standing in the aisles at La Spezia until the first stop in the Cinque Terre is the norm spring through fall.
Plane. The nearest airports are the "Cristoforo Colombo" international airport in Genoa and the "Galileo Galilei" international airport in Pisa.
Boat. The Consorzio Marittimo Turistico runs summer boats from La Spezia to the Cinque Terre as well as excursions along the coast. See their website for more.
A Path to Lunch offers the helpful Complete Cinque Terre, Portovenere, La Spezia Boat / Ferry Schedules for Summer.
Car. While it is possible to approach Cinque Terre's 5 villages by car, it isn't recommended by travelers who've tried it. As in Venice, there is no use for a car once you're there. There is daily parking in Riomaggiore and Monterosso if you arrive early.
You can easily drive to the ridge above the villages and end up in a town like Volastra, and walk or use public transport to the five named villages of the Cinque Terre. Great views and great food await in Volastra and Groppo.
Where to Stay
While there are quite a few hotels in the Cinque Terre, the area is extremely popular, especially during the tourist season, so book early. Monterosso has the most lodging oportunities.
TripAdvisor new booking tools now allow you to compare guest hotel reviews and view hotel prices and book directly.
Vacation rentals are also popular along the Ligurian coast. For those traveling with families or wishing to stay longer and have a "slow travel" experience along the way, TripAdvisor lists over 170 vacation rentals in Cinque Terre.
The Cinque Terre Card
Starting in 2001, in order to maintain the tourist and weather ravaged trails and environment around the Cinque Terre, the National Park of the Cinque Terre started to require a ticket in order to walk on the "Via Dell'amore" - the first part of the Cinque Terre trail. The Cinque Terre Card is one way to simplify your travel within the Cinque Terre. Find out more about the various options: Cinque Terre Card.

Cinque Terre: Attractions Nearby
Portovenere makes an interesting destination. There are hiking trails from here--and boats leave for the Cinque Terre frequently in the summer.
The Gulf of Poets is the gulf around La Spezia. If you're looking to get away from the throngs of tourists clogging the Cinque Terre, this is the place. Gulf of Poets maps and pictures. The link has transportation information as well.
Tuscany's Lunigiana region is just to the east. See our Lunigiana Map and Travel Resources. And, of course, there's Tuscany itself: Tuscany Map and Travel Resources.
When to Visit
Come to the Cinque Terre in Fall. You'll see the vines turn color and see people setting out nets under the olive trees in anticipation of the harvest. You might think October and November could be iffy times to visit, and there's a chance of that, but if you keep your travel plans loose, you can see some incredible things along this stretch of coastline.
The tragedy of an almost complete turn to tourism for revenue is that many vineyards are being abandoned by folks who find it more profitable to provide tourist services. That leaves increasing number of wild boar to rip up the vineyards and start the terraces tumbling down the hillside, a tragedy of great importance happening these days in increasing storms.

Aura color change
New Age
I have always been in tuned with myself. Since I was a kid I have always had a gold aura, I would have other colors too but it was always outlined in golden light. Recently I was in a car accident. I was walking across a cross walk and was hit by a truck. After flying 8ft I managed to almost walk away almost injury free, everyone told me I was lucky to be a live. That saying bugged me, because I knew I hadn't survived. I remember the way the truck hit me, I died and I knew it. But before I woke up on the pavement, I remember seeing a woman, I knew her but I can't figure out how and she was surrounded by white light. She was so beautiful, she spoke to me, told me it wasn't my time yet, and it was time to wake up. Next thing I know all the warm and comforting feelings around me were gone and I was laying in the middle of the road. Since then my aura has changed. It is no longer that gold color, it has turned white, but there is a darkness to it. I don't understand

Ludo is a children's game based upon the ancient Indian game of Pachisi. Uckers is a game played in the Royal Navy (and apparently some non-British navies) on a Ludo board.
A Ludo board is is square with a pattern on it in the shape of a cross, each arm being divided into three adjacent columns of eight squares. The middle squares form the home column for each colour and cannot be landed upon by other colours. The middle of the cross forms a large square which is the 'home' area and which is divided into 4 home triangles, one of each colour. At each corner, separate to the main circuit are coloured circles (or squares) where the pieces are placed to begin.
Counters start their circuit one square in from the end of the arm and adjacent to the starting circle. Avoid modern boards which incorrectly place the first square at the end of the arm.
The starting square, the starting circle, the home triangle and all the home column squares are coloured to match the corresponding pieces.
Each player chooses one of the 4 colours (green, yellow, red or blue) and places the 4 pieces of that colour in the corresponding starting circle. A single die is thrown to determine movement.
Players take turns in a clockwise order; highest throw of the die starts.
Each throw, the player decides which piece to move. A piece simply moves in a clockwise direction around the track given by the number thrown. If no piece can legally move according to the number thrown, play passes to the next player.
A throw of 6 gives another turn.
A player must throw a 6 to move a piece from the starting circle onto the first square on the track. The piece moves 6 squares around the circuit beginning with the appropriately coloured start square (and the player then has another turn).
If a piece lands on a piece of a different colour, the piece jumped upon is returned to its starting circle.
If a piece lands upon a piece of the same colour, this forms a block. This block cannot be passed or landed on by any opposing piece.
When a piece has circumnavigated the board, it proceeds up the home column. A piece can only be moved onto the home triangle by an exact throw.
The first person to move all 4 pieces into the home triangle wins.
For young children, a piece may start with a throw of a 1 or a 6. Speeds things up.
For adults, to make Ludo a lot more interesting and skilful, try using the rules for Pachisi and Chaupur or Uckers.
Uckers is played by four people with the players opposite each other partnering to form 2 teams. It is essentially Ludo with extended rules that make it a much more absorbing and skilful game.
Uckers is played on a Ludo board but is played with two dice instead of one.
Players take turns in a clockwise order; the player with the highest throw of the two dice starts.
Each throw, the player decides which pieces to move. A piece simply moves in a clockwise direction around the track. There are 2 options:
If only one piece is left, then the total of both dice must be used, if possible. If the total cannot be used, then the largest number of the two dice must be used, if possible and the other dice throw is forfeited. If no piece can legally move, both dice throws are forfeited.
The only way for a player to move a piece from the starting circle onto the track is by throwing a 6. Whenever a 6 is thrown, the player has the option of moving a piece from the starting circle to the first square on the track instead of moving a piece already on the track. A double 6 can be used to start 2 pieces on the track.
A throw of a 6 or a double 6 gives one additional throw of both die. The additional throw happens even if the player cannot move with the 6. The only exception to this is that no additional throws are allowed when a player has just captured a blob (see below).
If the additional throw shows a 6 or a double 6, another additional throw is granted, and so on.
If a piece lands on an opponent's single piece, the piece jumped upon is returned to its starting circle.
If a player's piece lands on a square with one or more of their partner's pieces this is called a 'mixed blob'. If an opponent lands on a mixed blob, all the pieces are captured and returned to their starting circle.
If square containing one or more pieces of the same colour forms a barrier known as a 'blob'. By default a blob cannot be passed or landed on by an opponent but a blob does not block a partner's pieces.
A blob can be captured but only by following the proper series of events viz.:
A piece in a starting circle can challenge a blob on the adjacent starting square. However, an additional 6 is required. For example, to capture a blob consisting of three pieces from a starting circle would require a challenge followed by 4 more throws of 6.
A player cannot challenge a blob from a mixed blob.
Once a player has reached the home triangle with all 4 pieces, that player must then throw a six. Once a six has been thrown, from the next turn onwards, that player moves their partners pieces, if possible.
When a piece has circumnavigated the board, it proceeds up the home column. A piece can only be moved onto the home triangle by an exact throw.
The first team to move all 8 pieces into the home triangle wins.

The pitch: "When skin temperature rises, Exert activates and cools the skin by 2 to 6 degrees. When body temperature drops to normal, Exert recharges and is ready to cool again without the need to reapply."
The skinny: If at first you don't succeed, try EXERT again. Or hand it off to a friend, because it might work for her.
That's what we learned when we received a can of EXERT Smart Body Coolant for review.
Our first tester doesn't have the hot flashes, or "temperature spikes," that EXERT is designed to fight. But she does get hot faster than most people, so she wondered if EXERT would help keep her cool on a hot day.
She used the product as directed — sprayed it on and rubbed it in and headed to the gym. But she didn't think it helped much — when things heated up, so did she — and she passed it on to me.
I'm the opposite: I'm usually cold ... until I'm not. Hot flashes turn me into a puddle, and they wake me up at night. (The covers go on and off and on and off. Sound familiar?)
The first time I tried EXERT, right before going to bed, I was skeptical. I used it only on my torso — which is where the heat always starts.
And it worked. I usually have a hot flash within minutes of getting into bed — and I could tell one was coming on — but it was as though it hit a force field and couldn't make it's way through.
So I tried it again. The second time I rubbed it onto my mid-section and upper body. And again, I could feel it mitigating the heat. I still had that apprehensive feeling I often get when a hot flash is coming, and I still had heart palpitations. But that was it. The people behind EXERT claim it works by drawing heat away from the body only when the body needs it to.
It didn't last all night (although the directions say it will), but it got me through the first few hours, which usually are the worst.
The spray is light and dries right away, so it isn't messy. (Still, I'd recommend spraying it on your hands first and rubbing it on.) It doesn't stain and it doesn't smell, so you can put it on right before bed without worrying about ruining your sheets or, you know, your relationship.

HTC hasn't made any official announcements regarding a blue version of its One flagship, but if the rumor mill is to be believed, parts for just such a device are already starting to trickle out. Parts retailer ETrade Supply has added an entry for a blue HTC One front panel to its online store, complete with several images that offer close-up looks at the azure One's face. The part features a price tag of $21.97, but it's currently out of stock.
While this blue HTC One variant is still very much unofficial at this point, the fact that it's now popped up four times both in renders and actual photographs means that this rumored device is starting to gain some traction. HTC recently added a red version of the One to its roster, so it wouldn't exactly be a huge shock to see a fourth hue join the One family, and HTC could use the new paint job as a way to stimulate interest in the original One again as it also prepares to launch the One Max. Now we just have to wait for Robert Downey Jr. to come forward and announce that HTC stands for "Here's The Cobalt."

Veterans lend a hand to others
Mon, 11 Nov 2013 16:55:54 GMT —
A handful of veterans all got together Monday morning to help out one of their fellow vets.
Many retired military members and veterans from the retired and senior volunteer program came together this morning to build a ramp for one of their own and they couldn't be happier.
91-year-old veteran Charlie Philips says, "I think that everyone here feels the same way and we enjoy doing it. It's companionship. We enjoy each other. We kid around a lot."
They all came together to help Berry Glen Junior, a veteran who had a stroke a few weeks ago and will be temporarily bound to a wheel chair.
His son, Glen Berry III, came down from Birmingham and is grateful for the help, especially on this day.
"Extraordinary that they would take a day that we normally honor them that they would reach back and honor one of their own," says Berry.
This is not the first time the group built a ramp. Just recently, they built a ramp for Adam Martin's daughter.
"It's nice. That way we don't have to struggle to pull her into the house so the ramp will help out real nice, " says Martin.
In less than two hours, the ramp was built and ready to go. The final touch was hammering in a plaque at the end of the ramp to show who it was built by; then a salute to top off the morning activity.

Bill. [Stepping forward] I'm ready to make it up to her.
Studdenham. Keep back, there? [He takes hold of Freda, and looks around him] Well! She's not the first this has happened to since the world began, an' she won't be the last. Come away, now, come away!
Taking Freda by the shoulders, he guides her towards the door.
Sir William. D—–n 'it, Studdenham! Give us credit for something!
Studdenham. [Turning his face and eyes lighted up by a sort of smiling snarl] Ah! I do that, Sir William. But there's things that can't be undone!
He follows Freda Out. As the door closes, sir William's Calm gives way. He staggers past his wife, and sinks heavily, as though exhausted, into a chair by the fire. Bill, following Freda and Studdenham, has stopped at the shut door. Lady Cheshire moves swiftly close to him. The door of the billiard-room is opened, and Dot appears. With a glance round, she crosses quickly to her mother.
Dot. [In a low voice] Mabel's just going, mother! [Almost whispering] Where's Freda? Is it—Has she really had the pluck?
Lady Cheshire bending her head for "Yes," goes out into the billiard-room. Dot clasps her hands together, and standing there in the middle of the room, looks from her brother to her father, from her father to her brother. A quaint little pitying smile comes on her lips. She gives a faint shrug of her shoulders.
The curtain falls.

SALT – New Release
Amazon's publishing imprint, 47 North, are publishing the new version of my post-apocalyptic thriller, SALT: The Last Flotilla Book 1, on October the 13th, 2015.
Those who have already SALT might be wondering what's different. Well, apart from an extra copy edit to make a few things more consistent and some reordering of content, there are no major changes to the story, but I do believe it reads smoother, and has better pacing throughout.

Our magical door to communication during deployment
Of my three kids, I knew my son was going to have the hardest time in dealing with his daddy being away. The great thing is that he's 5, and that allows me to be extra creative in inventing fun ways to keep his spirits high while keeping him feeling connected to his daddy.
A little magic goes a long way
Of my three kids, I knew my son was going to have the hardest time in dealing with his daddy being away. The great thing is that he's 5, and that allows me to be extra creative in inventing fun ways to keep his spirits high while keeping him feeling connected to his daddy.
Just as deployment was starting, my son was beginning to read on his own. We had sight word flash cards we did at home, and he had words he was learning weekly in kindergarten. How fun would it be to get his own letters from Daddy, and to be able to write his own letters back to him? Now we just needed a creative, and magical, way to transport the letters back and forth that would be able to keep conversation flowing without waiting for actual 'snail mail.'
Our magical fairy door
It all fell into place when a friend of mine told me about the fairy doors she has in her house. When her husband had been gone on past deployments, they would send notes back and forth through their fairy doors. Immediately I went searching for my fairy door on Etsy.
Deployment is hard enough for us mommas. At the end of the day, it's just me. There's no one to sit and share the day with, or vent to, or even just get a hug from and tell me, "It's going to be OK." On top of it, we have little hearts that are also hurting and missing Daddy, that we need to care for, love and mend to the best of our ability. Nighttime seems to be one of the hardest times in our house. This is usually when my husband has his quality time with the kids by reading them their bedtime stories and tucking them in. With him away, there is an obvious emptiness that lingers. Having the fairy doors helps to not only keep Daddy 'present' and still a part of our bedtime routine, but the magic and excitement of leaving him a note, and finding a note in return the next morning, helps to keep spirits high.
Mama's the messenger
Like Santa, it's me who's actually doing all the work. I collect the notes (or snacks that sometimes get put by the door) once my son is fast asleep, and then transcribe what it says in an email to my husband. On the flip side of it all, it's also a fun way to keep my husband in the loop of what is going on in our lives here at home. Then, I type out a little note back to my son, 'from Daddy,' with loving and encouraging words and comments in regards to the note sent, fold it and leave it by the door for my son to find when he wakes up the next morning.
Not only has this been a wonderful morale booster, but this has also been a great way to encourage growth in my son's reading and writing skills. And, all the notes saved will make a lovely little deployment scrapbook to look over again in later years.
Fairy doors can be used by anyone. Fairies love to flit between houses of any family member, especially Nana's and Aunties'. There are also many types of fairies that can utilize these doors. For example, the tooth fairy loves using fairy doors and getting a break from having to squeeze her little body under pillows. So if you're looking to add a little magic in your home, or lift the spirit of a child missing her parent, I highly recommend placing a fairy door in your home.

Integrate the cloud in your datacenter
Get advanced virtualization technology by the leading companies in the cloud space
Private Clouds are resource pools operated, controlled, and managed by a specific organization (using internal staff and equipment or a third party's). This private cloud may be located inside the company's own data center, a fully managed external facility, or a combination of the two.
Cloud Carib supports all Private Cloud deployment models: We can assist you in creating your own Private Cloud on premise, or setup a hosted private cloud in one of our datacenter's located throughout the region, physically isolated from other cloud tenants. We also support hybrid cloud deployments, for maximum flexibility.
VMware Private Cloud Solutions
VMware cloud solutions improve IT efficiency, agility and reliability, while helping IT drive innovation. We deliver everything IT needs to build, operate, rent and manage their cloud, even beyond the data center, while continuously quantifying its impact. We also help customers evolve technical foundations, organizational models, operational processes and financial measures to establish both a cloud infrastructure and cloud operations model that delivers the greatest benefit from cloud computing. VMware cloud solutions maximize the potential of cloud computing to:
- Deliver new IT services that fuel business growth – More rapidly create and deploy services that differentiate the business.
- Transform IT into a source of innovation – Unlock IT resources and reinvest in services that advance business goals.
- Ensure IT efficiency, agility and reliability – Deliver enterprise SLAs for tier 1 applications, securing the business even across diverse cloud environments.
Cloud Infrastructure
VMware offers customers two options for transforming the data center into a cloud environment that implements the software-defined data center (SDDC) architecture:
- Packaged software that customers deploy on premises
- Public infrastructure as a service based on VMware SDDC technologies and operated by VMware vCloud® Hybrid Service™ or its partners (vCloud Powered Service Provider Partners, such as Cloud Carib)
With these two options, VMware is offering a true hybrid cloud platform where customers can seamlessly extend the SDDC with a common management, orchestration, networking and security model across on-premises and off-premises environments.
Building on the foundation of VMware vSphere® virtualization, VMware offers two choices to transform the data center into a dynamic cloud environment. You can build a private cloud infrastructure with VMware vCloud® Suite or rent a public or hybrid cloud service with VMware vCloud Hybrid Service. Both cloud solutions are built on the same software-defined data center architecture, which expands the cost and operational benefits of server virtualization to all the data center infrastructure: compute, network, security, storage and management. And together, you can have a hybrid cloud platform where you have the agility and convenience of public cloud with the freedom and confidence to run any applications onsite, offsite or both.
- Automated provisioning and deployment – Assemble new applications from reusable components, and deploy them in minutes instead of weeks.
- Automated operations management – Efficiently run your cloud with purpose-built tools to optimize performance, ensure security and rectify potential problems before users ever see them.
- Availability, disaster recovery and compliance – Deliver demanding SLAs, protect your data and verify conformance with policies and regulations.
- Visibility into IT costs – Intelligently plan capacity, optimize resource allocation and evolve to a complete IT chargeback model.
- Full extensibility – Customize your environment, integrate third-party solutions and interoperate with VMware-based public cloud services, such as Cloud Carib's Cloud Datacenter service.
Microsoft Private Cloud
The benefits of the cloud are clear. You get added flexibility and easy access to additional resources. Virtualization is the best place to start, giving you improved utilization of the resources you have today. With the built-in virtualization capabilities of Windows Server, you'll get best-in-class features and performance. When you add the capabilities of System Center, you can build cloud elasticity and scalability into the datacenter using automation, resource pooling, and dynamic provisioning.
Automating repetitive tasks lets you reduce errors and increase speed. Automation also makes the datacenter more resilient, with pre-defined processes to handle unexpected spikes in demand. By pooling resources for compute, storage, and networking, you can move workloads more easily and load-balance across the whole infrastructure. And enhanced management capabilities let you provision and deploy applications faster. With a Microsoft private cloud solution, your datacenter can be a competitive differentiator.
Windows Server 2012 R2 provides enterprise-class datacenter and hybrid cloud solutions that are simple to deploy, cost-effective, application-focused, and user-centric.
Greater flexibility and agility with Windows Server 2012 R2
At the heart of the Microsoft Cloud OS vision, Windows Server 2012 R2 brings Microsoft's experience delivering global-scale cloud services into your infrastructure with new features and enhancements in virtualization, management, storage, networking, virtual desktop infrastructure, access and information protection, the web and application platform, and more.
- Get advanced virtualization technology in the box with Windows Server
- Increase resilience and load-balancing capabilities in your datacenter with the power of cloud
- Improve application performance and simplify deployment with Microsoft System Center
Physical to Virtual (P2V) Migration
The first step in your journey to the cloud, is identifying existing physical servers in your environment that can be virtualized, and then virtualizing them. Cloud Carib can help you create an inventory of your physical servers, identify the best candidates for virtualization, and then transfer them to our secure cloud environment. You can also start with a hybrid cloud solution, until you are ready to use our public cloud exclusively.
In addition to your on-premise private cloud system, we provide hosted cloud solutions, which allow you to extend your datacenter to our cloud.

It's Time To Break The Call Of Duty Franchise Up
That's right we said it!! The "Call of Duty" prefix was removed in relation to Modern Warfare 2, it's just Modern Warfare 2. This got us to wondering why would you remove the COD prefix, after all its one of the most recognizable game brands in the history of gaming. Also not to be nit picky or anything but how can it technically be a sequel without the COD part. I mean I understand dropping the numbers because if they intend to keep the series going for a while it could start to get ridiculous, can you imagine COD 10? So that made sense to me, you make it just COD and whatever the name of the game is. By removing the COD prefix it seems that the folks at Infinity Ward or maybe Activision-Blizzard have a very different vision for their part of the franchise.
Is it time for a split?
So for those of you that don't know, COD is actually made by two different developing houses, Infinity Ward did the first two, then Treyarch did COD3 and they have been rotating ever since. As far as I know there was no real reason given as to why they went to the two developer model, and while the core game and engine are the same there is a big difference. In my opinion, the problems started with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Originally, Infinity Ward was met with extreme criticism for taking the series into the future and out of the WWII era, but you can't argue with success and a success it was. Call of Duty 4 would go on to sell more than 10 million copies worldwide and become the most successful game in the franchise to date. So what's the problem, the problem is how do you top the masterpiece that was COD4, you don't. While I thought that COD: WAW (COD5) was excellent and in fact we gave it a 5/5, because you have to judge each game independently, but compared to COD4 it was lacking.
Now, we must account for the fact that it seems that Treyarch got the short end of the stick as far as time periods. By taking COD into the future, Infinity ward instantly appealed to way more people and were then free to make a game that would be more compelling because it could be tied closer to more recent events and could introduce weapons and capabilities that were just impossible to do in the WWII era. So to Treyarch's credit they do a good job with what they have to work with but once you make a game like COD: MW, there truly is no going back. In fact, I don't think that Infinity Ward could make a WWII set COD and have fans take to it the way they have to the MW installments.You combine that with the fact that Infinity Ward created COD and that no one will ever know the nuances of it like they do and you have a nasty combination of things against Treyarch.
So where does that leave us? There is nothing official out of Activision-Blizzard that this is even a problem but the dropping of the prefix says something undeniable to us. It could be that they are intending to spin the MW piece off into its own franchise developed exclusively by Infinity Ward. They could be trying to separate the brands so that people stop comparing them to each other which really isn't fair to do. Activision-Blizzard owns both development houses so in the end they will have the final say. At this point, I have more questions than answers but hopefully over the next few months we will get some more answers. Would it even be possible to have a Modern Warfare series and then a Call of Duty series? Technically, yes since there are no true canonical issues in the COD series because each game is really independent of the other in storyline and really only share the name. Since MW2 is the first direct sequel in the series they could do it with every MW title going forward and perhaps Treyarch could then do the same with the COD part of the series.
Could they announce something like this at E3?
This scenario presents a lot of issues such as could you have a COD and a MW out in the same year, probably not as they would eat into each others market. When you look at it though the stage is set perfectly for something like this to happen, they all ready each come out basically every other year so the development houses won't have to change their cycles (apparently COD7 is already in the works by Treyarch). In looking at it from a business standpoint as well as what's good for us gamers I think it could be very beneficial to split the series for all the reasons I have mentioned above. It would give both Infinity Ward and Treyarch a chance to then take their respective brands where they saw fit and create the kind of epic storylines that we have never seen in games like this because a single timeline has never been taken this far before.
This way each would then have to stand on its own, now folks at Infinity Ward wouldn't have to be upset like I am sure some of them were when some people said that WAW wasn't as good as it could have been. So if its true as a lot of people believe that the Treyarch installments have been the weaker of the series, a split might really force Treyarch to step their game up which is also good for us gamers. Could an announcement of this very fact be coming at E3, we don't know but nothing would surprise us at this point.We think that splitting them is the best thing to do because you can still get a title out every year. If they wait and Infinity Ward continues in the modern era, you could risk damaging the COD brand due to comparisons and then you might have to end the WWII part of the series and just continue on with the MW piece. For Activision-Blizzard it should be simple math and two games are always better than one at least from a financial standpoint.
We want to hear from you though, the fans of the franchise. The people who have spent hundreds of hours on these games just like we have. What do you think should happen? Should they split them?

In the ongoing saga of the payroll tax, there's now a fight between the House and Senate approaches to the problem. The House passed a year-long extension of the reduced payroll tax and coupled it with several other good things (expediting a decision to approve the Keystone XL energy pipeline, full expensing of certain assets for businesses) and, unfortunately, some not-so-great things as well (a further extension of extraordinarily long-term unemployment benefits, though in transitioning from a 99-week to a 59-week duration the bill did return substantially closer to the 26 weeks that prevailed pre-recession).
Of even more concern to us was the fact that bill text was available for little more than a day before voting occurred, in direct contravention to House Republicans' pledge to give 72 hours to review all legislation. All told, it wasn't the greatest piece of legislation ever drafted, but it was enough to garner NTU's qualified support because it would have prevented a substantial tax increase in the middle of a difficult economic recovery while advancing the cause of job-creating efforts like Keystone XL.
As is its custom these days, the Senate did not take up and pass the House bill. Instead, they crafted their own two-month extension of the bill thus ensuring another battle over the payroll tax early in the new year. It passed Saturday morning, and right away Speaker Boehner and other House Republicans began saying they could not support this short-term patch. To compound the issue, payroll experts have said that the Senate bill is unworkable anyway. In short, a tweak in the Senate version would essentially create a two-bracket payroll tax (as opposed to the single, flat rate that exists today) which payroll processors claim that their systems cannot accommodate.
NTU's preferred solution to the problem would be to pass a single piece of legislation that extends the reduced payroll tax rate and pairs it with substantial spending reductions to ensure that there is no deficit impact. Heck, we even gave Congress a trillion-dollar head start on identifying the low-hanging fruit of wasteful spending. Neither bill adhered to our preference, but who got closer? Which approach is better for taxpayers?
The answer is the House version. Congress' recent practice of passing short-term extensions on just about everything (the "doc fix," the AMT, the yearly package of "tax extenders," continuing resolutions to fund the government, etc) is quickly becoming more than just tiresome and unfortunate. It's becoming a real threat to taxpayers. Everyone in Washington has known for the entirety of 2011 that the reduced payroll tax rate would expire at the end of the year. We had an entire year to craft a bill that would prevent a tax increase and reduce spending, but only now, a few days before Christmas and just ten days before the end of the year, is Congress even dealing with the issue. The time has come to stop budgeting in fits and starts.
Taxpayers deserve better than this, and businesses and employers all across the country deserve to know what tax system they'll have to comply with in a week and a half. Both chambers of Congress should return to Washington and hammer out a solution, whether through a conference committee or a negotiated solution that prevents a tax hike, cuts spending, and moves the ball forward on job creation.

Whats the latest people???
It's probably not dead, but it is on life support. People are pulling out left and right, the final design is nowhere near what most people expected.
Its pretty much a disaster.
Really, not that many people have pulled out.
And there has been no final design.
Neither is it dead or on life-support.
There's just no communication. Likely a combination of neglect, languishing, legal binding, or something.
Maybe @ToddCady can tell you how many exactly? He seems to be keeper of the list.. the last surviving member of team Earl!!!
@ToddCady is not a member of team Earl!!!! He is one of us who invested in this idea. He was willing to share details he got by offering lunch to Jon while he was traveling through his area, to the rest of us, and he used his communication with Jon to offer assistance to those seeking refunds to get their information to Jon. In his situation, I would have long ago told off many of the complainers, blaming him for their situations.
I guess that like many things is a matter of perspective. If one is allowed to perform managerial roles to Jon's forum, collect information from and distribute information to investors and in general be allowed to inform or act as a conduit to the inventor where no other backer has been able then by default in my opinion they became a member of team Earl!!! Whether that person was assigned that role to begin with or not, assigned officially or not is in my opinion, and mine alone irrelevant. They volunteered, something I would not have done. Further the actual members of team Earl have not responded to that, clarified or otherwise negated that and apparently remain fully comfortable with someone else speaking and acting on their behalf in whatever limited function....
dblavat1,I can see where you thought that I was a member of Jon's team. I just happened to be the first non-Sqigle forum moderator, as I offered up my time to help Jon get done what he needed to get done.
Jon has had friends (childhood friends) who started to help him, but then bailed on him. I've met him once, talked via phone with him twice, and emailed a bunch. This has all been done because I believe in supporting the dream with more than just my money.
I'm still a volunteer, My heart is still in it. I'm doing my best to keep positive, regardless of the number of refund requests and negative-nellies out there in forum-land.
I'm being constructive, not destructive to the process. This is my choice.T.
@ToddCady - If Earl ever makes it to production I hope you get the credit you deserve, not from the community as such but from Jon! I tried staying positive for so long, I just ran out of faith. And when that occurred I tried leaving... but by then there was nobody answering but you... And it is clear that while Jon is willing to let you take the brunt of things here, you can't pull the trigger for all of us who passed the limit of our faith...
From a forum perspective... I have been emailed directly by people who can't register anymore, can't post more than 3 replies, can't create new topics to vent or ask questions etc... Not sure in all the time you give if there is anything you can do about that for people, perhaps create a new topic etc...
@ToddCady - I am a new user too! I can't reply more than 3 times in a post. Not sure I can Private Message as a new user either. I looked everywhere for it. I deleted all of the emails after I replied to those that contacted me... Some were looking for a way to contact you outside of the forum as a result of the difficulties getting registered for the forum. And to be fair, as I said... I lost my faith. I don't really want to be a middleman addressing issues here. I just want to go...
I have the ability to help them, and it seems to be a manual process to give them rights beyond new user.
Please private message me the names and I'll do my best to fix the situation.
Thanks for being there for them!T.
@ToddCady really hoping to receive a refund, I have posted several times on the refund forum. Trying to catch your attention to receive that refund! Thanks!
Does this being posted repeatedly to multiple threads help you as much as your multi posts seemed to request?
It amazes me how some people seem to be so much more important than the rest of us. They post multiple messages minutes apart demanding personal attention from a VOLUNTEER who is apparently the only chance of getting a refund. They have plenty of time to post as they seem to skip the part about reading past posts like this one
Which is also quoted in this message that I edited together in an attempt to help those who are seeking refunds get all of the pertinent information in a single topic, I went so far as to put it in one easy to find place. (conveniently pinned to the top of every page they view until they choose to unpin it.)
