The whole *change in VAT* thing with the European countries is an ABSOLUTE HORROR MESS for this author. At least, Mark Coker of Smashwords explained the basics in a way that was understandable to the Kougar. Amazon's attempt to explain the change in VAT collection ends up causing an eye-rolling headache. However, out of what this Big Cat can glean, she is considering simply NOT offering any of her Indie books for sale in Europe through Amazon. This will eliminate Amazon from making price-matching changes arbitrarily if they discover a lower or higher price somewhere, somehow. Further, at this point, the Kougar WILL NOT be changing her ebook pricing, and will take it in the proverbial shorts when it comes to royalties. Oh goody.
~~~
Okay, the Kougar got some good writing done on her untitled ShapeShifter Seductions WIP. She so hopes to continue.

What's in a Name?
by Serena Shay
Ralph walked back to his cabin still pondering the board back at the gazette. The baby name pool still had not been finalized. Were Nick and Ziva ever going to name their spawn? And now there was another board he’d had to wager on for Mayor Gil’s new fleet. He had high hopes that between all the multiple births here lately one of them would choose his pick—Dwayne, such a fine name.

YEP, ANOTHER GOVERNMENT SCAM TO *STRANGLE* RURAL AMERICA
CARB Targets Rice Farmers for Cap and Trade
Breitbart - The California Air Resources Board's (CARB) plan to offer cap and trade offset credits to California rice farmers to change the way they farm is like chumming fish. The government’s upfront offer of cash is a scam to encourage rice farmers to invite bureaucrats into their business. CARB will undoubtedly later change the farming rules by mandating the type of severe regulations that will strangle rural community success.

2 GSA Managers Named in Lavish Conference Scandal Reinstated with 30 Months Back Pay
AllGov - Four years ago, the General Services Administration (GSA) was caught spending more than $800,000 in taxpayer money on a lavish conference in Las Vegas.

Now a civil service review board has ruled (pdf) that the agency was wrong to fire the managers and the GSA has been ordered to reinstate them and give them 30 months of back pay.
