Additional terms and conditions in respect of giffgaff's 4G Service
2.11 These terms and conditions apply to any member that has purchased a 4G Service goodybag in addition to the rest of the Terms and Conditions listed.
2.12 Access to our 4G Service is only available on selected goodybags as described on the giffgaff website. Once you have purchased a 4G Service goodybag, you will have access to the 4G Services for the duration of your goodybag. After your 4G goodybag expires, you will continue to have access to 4G Services whilst you are in credit or until you purchase a 3G Service goodybag or 3G Service gigabag, or contact an agent to have 4G Service removed from your account.
2.13 If you purchase a 4G Service goodybag at a time when you do not have 4G activated on your account, giffgaff will start to set-up your access to the 4G Service This can take up to 24 hours, although is normally quicker and you can still use your data allowance on 2G and 3G Services in the meantime.
2.14 The 4G Service will give you access to our 4G Service in the UK. Roaming is not currently available with our 4G Services.
2.15 We reserve the right to implement 4G Service traffic management in the future, but if we do then it will be in accordance with the Broadband Stakeholder Group Agreement and details would be clearly shared on giffgaff.com.
2.16 As with 3G Service, our 4G Service may be affected by the number of people using the 4G Service, maintenance and upgrades, faults from other networks, the weather, other environmental factors or degradation.
2.17 Before signing up for the 4G Service, you should check our coverage checker at giffgaff.com/4g. This is an indicator and predictor of outdoor coverage, but coverage may vary depending on time and location. The coverage checker is a guide and does not guarantee signal coverage. Data reception and speeds may not be as good indoors or in a car. Radio-based mobile technologies can also be affected by local factors including buildings, trees and even weather conditions.
2.18 In order to access the 4G Service you will need a 4G ready phone, 4G goodybag, 4G SIM card and you may need to do a software update on your phone if it does not have the software required to access the 4G Service. If you do not already have a 4G SIM card, then giffgaff may still enable you to purchase a 4G goodybag and access the 4G Service, but we recommend that you carry out a SIM swap to a new 4G SIM at your earliest opportunity to ensure you are receiving the best possible service. Once you have access to our 4G Service, you will be able to access mobile internet data over our 4G Network whenever you are in a 4G-coverage area. When in our other mobile data network areas (for example Edge/GPRS/3G/HSPA areas) you will still be able to access non-4G data as usual.
2.19 Your data allowance will be used for all our different types of mobile data (for example Edge/GPRS/3G/HSPA areas) and will not differentiate between the types of mobile data you are using.
2.20 If you are participating in a trial (for a 4G Service goodybag or otherwise) there may be other terms which apply to such trial. These will always be set out and kept up to date on giffgaff.com.

If you have any remaining allowance at the end of the period it will expire and not be rolled-over into the next month.
6.3 Standard Charges will apply where you have used up your Bundle allowance and continue to use the associated Service.

Accrued call credits will expire at the end of the monthly Hokey Cokey period and will not roll-over into the next month.
6.10 The Hokey Cokey goodybag is subject to change and may be withdrawn at our discretion. We may remove free minutes earned at any time without notice if we suspect that you are misusing this service, you have breached these Terms and Conditions, you have breached the giffgaff Privacy Policy, or if we have received a serious complaint about you, or if you have otherwise engaged in conduct which may breach any law or regulation or bring giffgaff into disrepute.
6.11 If you have qualified for free calls, texts, call forwarding and video calls to giffgaff mobiles, making a call to a giffgaff number will not use any of your goodybag allowance.
6.12 Once you have purchased a gigabag you can use the associated SIM Card in all data devices, including Tablets, dongles, PCs or other devices that give you the ability to use the Internet. All gigabag usage must be for your private, personal and non-commercial purposes.

We will notify you by text if you are approaching your limit.
6.14 If your gigabag allowance runs out or expires, you can buy a new gigabag.

Device Orders
13.1 This clause 13 only applies if you have purchased your Device from us.
13.2 Charges for Devices will be detailed on giffgaff.com. The cost will be payable at the time of purchase either by a cash payment or using a loan arranged by RateSetter (see section 13 below).
13.3 Any Device that we deliver to you is your responsibility. Once you've received it and paid for it (either up-front or via a RateSetter-arranged loan), you own the Device. This does not affect your rights to carry out any of the actions set out in 13.4-13.6 below.
13.4 You have a right to change your mind about your Device: You may return it to us once for a full refund within 14 working days from the date of delivery. You must return using the process set out in the returns policy set out at giffgaff.com
13.5 If you are entitled to a refund, you will be refunded the full amount that you have paid for the device when we get the Device back from you, less any charges (as outlined in the returns policy). This refund will come from giffgaff and, if you have taken out a loan with RateSetter, then they will also refund you your payments to date.
13.6 If your device has a fault when it arrives, , you'll be able to return it for replacement or a full refund within 14 calendar days of receiving it (if you follow our returns policy). We must receive your device before a refund or replacement can be processed.
13.7 If there is a device fault which develops after 14 days of the device having been delivered to you, then you should book a repair as soon as possible. Your repair will be chargeable if your handset warranty is no longer valid.
13.8 If you need to return your device to us, we'll bear the reasonable postage costs of returning the Device with original parts, accessories, free gifts and the original packaging, as long as you follow our returns policy. We reserve the right not to accept returns or repairs unless this process has been followed correctly. We strongly recommend upgrading your postage to include insurance since we will take no responsibility for devices which are damaged in transit or not received.
13.9 giffgaff only sells unlocked Devices, but some manufacturers impose particular requirements as to how a Device must be activated in order to function properly, and geographical limitations on where a device can be used. Please check your Device packaging and/or user guide for more information.
13.10 We can only deliver to a valid UK address and will deliver within 30 days. There are certain circumstances where your order may be delayed:
a) Orders placed at the weekend or on a bank holiday will require at least one extra working day for delivery (for most postcodes, orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday will normally be delivered on a Tuesday);
b) Any unforeseen stock shortages. If this happens, we will notify you of any delay;
c) Certain remote postcodes will require additional time for delivery;
d) If we cannot obtain immediate security clearance for payment of your order. The security of our members is paramount so these checks are essential to combat fraudulent use of payment and address details.
13.11 No orders for Devices shall be accepted if received from outside the United Kingdom.
13.12 Despite our best efforts, occasionally products in our online shop may be incorrectly priced and therefore we cannot confirm the price of a product until your order is accepted. In addition, details may be updated from time to time and are subject to change. If we discover a pricing error, or there is a change in price before dispatch, we will contact you to reconfirm your order at the correct price. If we are unable to contact you within a reasonable time, we may cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. Unless otherwise stated, prices are inclusive of VAT where applicable.
13.13 You must ensure that prior to placing an order you have checked all relevant details about the products and/or services you have selected. All products and services advertised are subject to availability.
13.14 The information displayed on giffgaff.com, including prices, does not constitute an offer to enter into a sale agreement and neither we, nor any third parties that offer services via giffgaff.com (e.g. RateSetter) and its lenders) shall be obliged to accept your orders. If we do, acceptance will be confirmed by email and in our dispatching of the Device to you. Where products are sent separately, our acceptance will relate only to those products actually dispatched. Confirmation of orders will be sent to the email address supplied by you when the order was placed.
13.15 One-off payment can be made by any of the following methods: Mastercard, Visa, Visa Debit and payment will be taken from you when the order is placed.

13.16 giffgaff handsets can be purchased by giffgaff members. If you are not a giffgaff member, then you can still order a handset from giffgaff.com, but you will need to create a giffgaff account and buy a goodybag - your new giffgaff SIM card will arrive automatically with your handset order.. The validity period for your new goodybag will start when you activate your new SIM card and your goodybag will be set to recur each month from this point onwards unless you decide to opt out of the recurring goodybag.
13.17 If you are not a giffgaff member, then a giffgaff handset purchase requires you to purchase a goodybag too. If you cancel your order and return your handset in accordance with our returns policy, you will also be entitled to a refund on your goodybag. You will only receive a refund for your goodybag if your SIM card has not been activated. You do not need to return your SIM to us and you will need to contact an agent independently of returning your handset to receive a refund on your goodybag.
13.18 Nothing in this clause 13 affects your statutory rights.
giffgaff member lending scheme

Although we may provide you, via giffgaff.com, with certain information about your loan, this information is provided to us by RateSetter and you should contact RateSetter if you have any queries or wish to take any action in respect of the loan.
14.3 In order to assess whether or not RateSetter are able to provide you with a loan via its exchange, we will carry out an independent credit check on you and RateSetter will use the exchange to identify if there is a suitable lender available. If we are not satisfied with the credit check results or if there is no suitable lender available to lend at the applicable interest rate, then RateSetter will not be able to facilitate a loan for you.
14.4 In the event that you return your Device to us for a full refund, in accordance with clause 13.4 above, or the returns policy, you will be deemed to have terminated your loan agreement arranged via RateSetter and we will return the related monies we originally received to fund your Device to RateSetter. RateSetter will remain responsible for refunding any loan payments to you that you have already made.
Limitation of Liability

Dementia and driving
What to Expect at Home
If your loved one has dementia, deciding when they can no longer drive is a difficult decision. They may react in different ways:
- They may be aware they are having problems, and they may be relieved to stop driving.
- They may feel their independence is being taken away.
Signs that Driving May No Longer Be Safe
People with signs of dementia should have regular driving tests. Even if they pass a driving test, they should be retested in 6 months.
If your loved one resists you getting involved in their driving, get help from their doctor, lawyer, or other family members.
Even before you see driving problems in someone with dementia, look for these signs that they may be at risk for driving badly:
- Forgetting recent events
- Mood swings or getting angry more easily
- Problems doing more than one task at a time
- Problems judging distance
- Having trouble making decisions and solving problems
- Becoming confused more easily
Signs that driving may be getting more dangerous are:
- Getting lost on familiar roads
- Reacting more slowly in traffic
- Driving too slowly or stopping for no reason
- Not noticing traffic signs or not paying attention to them
- Taking chances on the road
- Drifting into other lanes
- Getting more agitated in traffic
- Getting scrapes or dents on the car
- Having trouble parking
Steps to Take
It may help to set limits when driving problems start. Stay off busy roads, or do not drive at times of the day when traffic is heaviest.
Do not drive when the weather is bad. Do not drive long distances. Drive only on roads the patient is used to.
Caregivers should try to lessen the person's need to drive without making them feel isolated. Have someone deliver groceries, meals, or prescriptions to their home. Find a barber or hairdresser who will make home visits. Arrange for family and friends to visit and take them out for a few hours at a time.
Plan other ways to get your loved one places. Family members or friends, buses, taxis, and senior transportation services may be possibilities.
As danger to others or to your loved one increases, you may need to prevent to them from being able to use the car. Some ways to do this are:
- Hiding the keys
- Leaving out car keys that will not start the car
- Disabling the car so it will not start
- Selling the car
- Storing the care away from the home

Indie Jeff's Weekly Pick: Terrorhedron
Though the core pillars of the tower defense genre have been around since the early '80s, the genre finally came into its own around 2007, beginning with indie Flash titles like Desktop Tower Defense and Flash Element Tower Defense, and eventually spawning some great titles such as PopCap's Plants vs. Zombies.
Indie developer Dan Walters of MCRO Games recently released his take on tower defense called Terrorhedron, an incredibly well-crafted experience that infuses innovative elements like programmable turrets and online co-op, all in fully 3D environments.
The first think you'll likely notice about Terrorhedron is its attractive and clean visual style, perfect for presenting the player with intricate 3D battlefields. Underneath the surface, however, are a number of gameplay layers that really help the experience stand out. It's not surprising to find out that Walters has a background in architecture. "Adding the 3rd axis to a genre whose gameplay is usually 2D is nothing more than obvious, yet somehow it has never been done before," he told me.
First and foremost, Terrorhedron is a deceptively strategic experience that pits players against scores of the titular, multi-colored orbs that invade the game's six different maze-like maps in progressively difficult waves. The different hues of the colorful spheres are more than just cosmetic, and indicate the individual strength of each unit. The Terrorhedrons also vary in speed, and players will very quickly learn to fear fast-moving black Terrorhedrons, for example. Should one of the evil little buggers reach the end of the maze, it reduces the player's "life" relative to its current strength. Once the player's "life" reaches zero, it's game over.
Defending a given map is a matter of constructing and programming various types of turrets to eliminate the procession of multi-colored doom. Seven different turret-types (some of which unlock via progressing through waves), are the main components of the player's arsenal. Hardpoints on the map--to which turrets must be anchored--limit the possible locations where defenses can be placed. However, the player also gains access to 4-faced and 6-faced platforms to which other turrets (or platforms) can be attached. In later waves, it's often necessary to build snaking branches of platforms littered with turrets in order to achieve the firepower necessary for a successful defense.
The view of the action can be easily adjusted via simple 3D camera controls, which is important because the path of the invading Terrorhedrons in each of the game's six maps twists and turns in gravity-defying patterns. In fact, Walters informed me that players can expect an update to the game very soon which improves camera pivoting significantly (as well as adding "per-turret kill stats").
The various turret types--ranging from damage-dealing laser turrets and plasma cannons, to enemy slowing EMP turrets and Energy Vacuum turrets--are all purchased with a finite pool of funds that increases slightly with each kill. Turrets can be leveled up to more powerful alternate versions of themselves, and in one of Terrorhedron's most inventive, strategic twists, each individual turret can be programmed to target specific enemy-types: nearest, furthest, strongest, weakest, fastest, or slowest, for example. Successfully completing advanced waves pretty much requires that the player really manage their defenses effectively, and the best combination of turrets and programming is fun (and often tricky) to figure out. "I set out to create a pure tower defense game that would really challenge anyone who thought they had figured out the genre," Walters explained, "so, no matter how good they were, there would always be a layer of challenge."
Given the intricacy of the levels and the complexity of setting up the perfect defense, Terrorhedron's online co-op mode for up to eight players is ingenious. "You really do not need 7 friends," Walters qualified. "I usually play with 2 or 3 of us, and the cooperative nature is great fun."
But how exactly does one cooperate in a tower defense game? "Sometimes you will have to pool resources and each pay for part of a defensive formation, other times you each build at different places along the track," he explained. "Every now and again the team will get caught out and have to coordinate fast to kill the last few targets and stay in the game. A lot of the fun is discussing strategies and exchanging ideas too."
Personally, I'm still learning the ins and outs of the perfect defense, and Terrorhedron's refreshing blend of deep strategy and unique presentation (and co-op!) are more than enough reason to keep me playing for quite some time. I thought I'd seen just about everything tower defense games had to offer, and I'm pleasantly surprised how handily Terrorhedron has proved me wrong. Even if you're a bit burned out by the formula, MCRO Games' offering will likely make you remember why you once enjoyed that type of experience in the first place.
Terrorhedron is one (but not the only reason) that Dan Walters is an indie developer worth keeping an eye on. He told me about another intriguing idea that's been percolating at MCRO Games for a while now that he describes as a "turn based, indie, strategy, martial-arts simulation." While he still hasn't determined for certain that it will indeed be his next project, his description is quite interesting.
"The idea is that you control the tension of the muscles in your player's physically simulated body, competing against other players in multiplayer, planning each quarter of a second, turn by turn," Walters explained. "Any motion that the human body can do in real life is possible and because the game plays out in slow motion, the physics simulations can be very detailed."
"Think street figher, crossed with chess, only with 3D graphics and the most detailed physics simulation in a game, ever," he clarified.
While that as-yet untitled new project is still just a glimmer in Walters' eye, Terrorhedron is currently available for PC for only $5 via the MCRO Games website. Tower defense fans--whether relative newbies or crusty old vets--will likely find a lot to love about a game that brings a surprising amount of new depth to the table.

It's that time of the month again! No, not that time, it's Vegan Cuts Beauty Box time! Here's you peek into this past month's box.
The Superchic Lacquer caused a feeding frenzy at work. It ended up getting passed around. Like a 40 at an 8th grade party. Everybody was really into the color. It was a light blue, I think this one.
And of course the Pacifica eyeliner was popular! Did you know they made eyeliner? I did not.
What else…oh! My new favorite thing was in the box! NYL nourishing facial serum! I recently tried a bunch of NYL stuff that I've been meaning to review—oops! It's coming, I swear!—and this was actually my favorite product of theirs. So it was pretty dope to find it in the beauty box.
I was also into the LA Fresh nail polish remover because it's a nice little travel polish remover and travel shiz is the best! You know me, always travelin.
That's your peek into the Beauty Box this month!
I got this for free but if you want to try it, the box subscription is $19.99 a month, shipping included (for US addresses. International is more).

When Chocano writes, then, that Downton Abbey is "a fantasy in which an enlightened overclass and a grateful underclass look deeply into each other's eyes and realize that they need each other, that there's a way for them to live together in perfect, symbiotic harmony," she's actually not all that far off the mark, even if she doesn't realize it. She's simply misunderstood whose fantasy it is, and who's selling it, and why. It's precisely because Grantham doesn't need his servants very much (or doesn't need to exploit them) that he can treat them like human beings; having buttered his bread so completely, his wife has made it unnecessary to be an evil bastard, so why should he? There's no percentage in it. So he can let people go whenever they want, or let them stay longer than they can afford it. In fact, since it is precisely his job to pretend to have the class relation that his wife wanted to marry into – but whose reality was as irrelevent as a whether a supermodel in a Michael Bay movie can really do astrophysics – he only needs them to prop up his image of the idealized lord, the only version she (or we) are interested in. His relationship with his servants and tenants is not mediated by the forceful extraction of labor and taxes – only by his need to be a Potemkin Village for the aristocracy that never was – so one of the benefits of the job is that also he gets to be a nice guy.

The Phillies got Jimmy Rollins back in the lineup last night, but it was a guy who has been here all along that did the heavy lifting as the Phils topped the Cleveland Indians 2-1. Jamie Moyer was fantastic, holding Cleveland to a run on two hits over eight innings.
The lack of offense from the Phils continues to baffle. Last night they failed to deliver an extra-base hit yet again. After scoring two runs in the bottom of the first they were shut out the rest of the game on two singles and two walks.
The game was also notable in how it ended. Lefty JC Romero pitched to three hitters in the top of the ninth with a one-run lead. Two of them reached before Lidge came in to record back-to-back strikeouts to end the game. After the game, Manuel responded to a question about the closer situation by saying, "Lidge is our closer. In my mind, he's our closer and that's what counts." Maybe so, but what's happening in Manuel's mind, while interesting, is a whole lot less important to the Phillies than what happens on the field and last night it was someone other than Lidge facing three batters in the ninth inning of a one-run game.
All that said, I think bringing on Romero to pitch to switch-left-switch to start the inning is a pretty good idea. It's just not the way it's always been done with this team.
Not to be forgotten is that Manuel also had been ejected from the game, so he shouldn't have been involved with the decision on who pitched the ninth inning anyway.
The Phillies are 36-32 on the year after a 2-1 win over the Indians last night. They have won four of their last six but scored just three runs in their last two games. They're in third place in the NL East, 4 1/2 games behind the first-place Braves.
Jamie Moyer got the start for the Phillies and went eight innings, allowing a run on two hits and a walk. One of the hits went for extra-bases, a solo home run. He struck out five and dropped his ERA on the year to 4.43. Four of his last five starts has been really good with nine runs allowed in an inning in Boston on June 11. Nine runs in an inning will do a number on your numbers (4.22 ERA over his last five starts in this case), but Moyer is pitching very well.
He got three ground balls in a 1-2-3 first.
He started the second inning up 2-0. He got two more ground outs to start the second before lefty Russell Branyan came to the plate and hammered the first pitch he saw way out to right. 2-1. Anderson Hernandez grounded to Utley for the third out.
Moyer threw a 1-2-3 third and struck out two while setting Cleveland down in order again in the fourth.
He got two ground outs and a fly ball to right in a 1-2-3 fifth.
Moyer got the first two in the sixth before Trevor Crowe reached on an infield single. The lefty Shin-Soo Choo was next and walked on five pitches. Crowe stole third before Moyer got Carlos Santana on a fly ball to left to leave both runners stranded.
He came back with a 1-2-3 seventh and then set the Indians down in order again in the eighth. Former Phil Jason Donald hit the ball well in the eighth, but Victorino tracked it down on the warning track for the second out of the inning.
Romero started the ninth with a one-run lead and got the switch-hitter Crowe on a ground ball to second for the first out. The lefty Choo was next and hit a ball back up the middle that Rollins fielded behind second, but Choo was safe with an infield single. Switch-hitting Carlos Santana was next and Romero walked him on a 3-2 pitch that was nowhere near the plate. It brought righty Austin Kearns to the plate with one out and men on first and second. Lidge came in to pitch to him and struck him out swinging at a 2-2 slider for the second out. Righty Jhonny Peralta followed Kearns, also coming to the plate as the go-ahead run. Lidge struck him out swinging at a 2-2 slider as well to end the game.
Romero threw 13 pitches in the game and Lidge ten.
The Phillies lineup against righty Mitch Talbot went (1) Rollins (2) Polanco (3) Utley (4) Howard (5) Werth (6) Ibanez (7) Victorino (8) Schneider. Rollins returns to the lineup and the leadoff spot. Victorino is dropped all the way to seventh. Schneider catches with Ruiz on the DL.
Polanco singled with one out in the first and moved to second when Utley followed with a walk. Howard was next and hit a 1-0 pitch into left for a single that scored Polanco (1-0) and moved Utley to third. Werth hit a fly ball to center deep enough for Utley to score and put the Phils up 2-0. Ibanez followed and hit a fly ball to center deep enough for Crowe to catch it and end the inning.
Victorino walked to start the second with the lead cut to 2-1. Schneider hit into a double-play behind him and Moyer struck out.
The Phils went in order in the third.
Werth walked with one out in the fourth and moved to third when Ibanez followed with a single to right. Victorino was next and hit a ground ball to second. Donald fielded and threw to Hernandez at second for the second out of the inning with Victorino safe at first, but Ibanez was ruled out on interference and the run was taken off the board with the inning over.
Manuel got ejected arguing the call, which cost the Phils a run, but the ump got it right. Ibanez was way off of second.
The Phillies went in order in the fifth.
Howard singled with two outs in the sixth, but Werth flew to right behind him to set the Phillies down.
The Phils went in order in the seventh and again in the eighth.
Rollins was 0-for-4 in the game and is hitting 311/429/578 in 45 at-bats for the season.
Polanco was 1-for-4. He's 7-for-his-last-22.
Utley 0-for-2 with a walk. 6-for-his-last-16 with a double, a triple and a home run. He walked 20 times in April and has walked 19 times in May and June combined.
Howard was 2-for-3 with an RBI. He's hitting 329/368/686 in June.
Werth was 0-for-1 with a walk and an RBI. He's hitting .218 in June after going 0-for-17 with ten strikeouts to end May. He's 12-for-his-last-72 (.167). On the plus side, maybe the Phillies will be able to afford him next year after all.
Ibanez 1-for-3 with a strikeout. He's 4-for-his-last-20. His slugging percentage dropped to .371 after the June 6 against the Padres. He had gotten it back up over .400 since then, but it's back going the wrong direction and sitting on .400 at the start of the day today.
Victorino was 0-for-2 with a walk in the seven-hole. He's 1-for-his-last-14.
Schneider was 0-for-3. He was hitting 303/395/364 after going 3-for-4 against the Red Sox on June 12. He's gone 1-for-14 since, dropping his line on the year to 234/333/277.
Another game for the Phils without an extra-base hit.
Kyle Kendrick (4-2, 4.48) faces righty Jake Westbrook (4-4, 4.76) tonight. Kendrick has been really good in three of his last four starts with one bad outing against the Marlins. Westbrook allowed five runs in seven innings against the Mets last Thursday. He missed the 2009 season off of Tommy John surgery and his rates of allowing hits, walks and home runs are all up above his career marks since his return.
