Invented one by accident last week-I hate most rum, most hard alcohol really, and a friend brought over a bottle of the nastiest blended rum I have ever tasted, Kraken (great bottle, horrible rum). Here's the recipe:

1-2 oz Nasty, un-sippable Rum
2 oz Coco-Loco (had some in the fridge from the last time someone made a Daiquiri here
4 oz fresh-squeezed Ruby Red Grapefruit juice

Mix rum and Coco Loco together, dissolving the gooey loco with rum into a solution
Add ice and grapefruit juice, stir

VERY drinkable and refreshing,
The Ruby Loco

Congrats on ruby

It looks as if someone dowsed my shiny little ruby in bleach...

Cheers anyway.

Can somebody explain Power Points for me? I have (17) points sitting to the right of my name, but my Profile says I last used a Power Point back in September 5, 2010, which would be wrong as I promoted a video within the last couple of weeks.

That said, I don't think a use by date is the way to go. I think the Achievements section is where to go for more rewards. Use you Power Points to promote a video that isn't yours, and it makes it to the top 15? Get an Achievement (The Promoter Badge or something like that), if that video makes it to #1 off your promote (not sure how they would work that formula out, probably have to promote a video before it Sifted and it rise fairly quickly after that) then perhaps another Achievement or a single Power Point reward. Those would help encourage people to promote quality videos that aren't theirs. Perhaps add an Achievement bit to the hover text over their indicator, like hover over my ruby it would say "Ranked #85 - 10265 votes - 350 star points - 8 achievements" perhaps adding "(lvl 14)" after the achievements to indicate the highest achievement level (not counting anniversary).

TLDR: Achievements would be a better thing to encourage interaction and non-self promotion.

Ruby or higher? I can understand different "star levels" having an advantage but I can't see how restricting it to such high members helps the sift to function smoothly.
Thanks for the fix though

If you mark it *dead, and there is a backup embed, the backup will be put in place instead of sending it to deadpool... this means you did the two operations in the wrong order

Obviously ruby or higher can just click replace embed, but below that you would do *notdead and then *dead afterwards.

I replaced the embed code of the second video you posted with the backup. You have to click the link to the backup beneath the video and then click "Replace Current Embed with this Backup", but you have to be a ruby member or higher to do that. I then used the invocation *notdead.
