Social Security encourages you to try to go back to work to see if you can do it. A Trial Work Period (TWP) lets you work and still be considered disabled by Social Security.
A beneficiary receiving Social Security disability benefits may test his or her ability to work and still be considered disabled. We do not consider services performed during the trial work period as showing that the disability has ended until services have been performed in at least 9 months (not necessarily consecutive) in a rolling 60-month period.
To sum up, a Trial Work Period lets you work and still be considered disabled by Social Security. Not only that, but Social Security does not count all the months you work, just the ones where you earn more than a threshold Trial Work Period amount:
- 2015 – $780 per month.
- 2014 – $770 per month.
- 2013 – $750 per month.
- 2012 – $720 per month.
- 2011 – $720 per month.
- 2010 – $720 per month.
- 2009 – $700 per month.
- 2008 – $690 per month.
- 2007 – $630 per month.
However, a Trial Work Period only applies in Disability Insurance Benefit claims under Social Security. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims do not get a Trial Work Period. In other words, if you are only getting SSI, you do not get the 9 months to see if you can work while still being considered disabled by Social Security. If you are on SSI and return to work, a different set of rules apply.
Also, Trial Work Periods only apply after you have been found disabled. If you return to work while you are applying for benefits, you cannot use a Trial Work Period to excuse Substantial Gainful Activity level earnings. However, there are other exceptions which may apply.
How the Trial Work Period works:
- If you earn less than the Trial Work Period amount, you can work and still be disabled. Your earnings do not trigger a Trial Work Period.
- You can work up to 9 months and earn the Trial Work Period amount, or more, without losing your disability status or your benefits.
- The nine months do not have to be consecutive. You might earn $1,000 in January, but only $400 in February and March, and then $1,100 in April. January and April count as 2 of your 9 TWP months, but February and March do not.
- If your gross income is more than the Trial Work Period amount for longer than 9 months (within a rolling 60 month – aka 5 year – period) Social Security will re-evaluate your case and may stop your disability status and stop your benefits.
But, what if I use up my 9 month Trial Work Period, my benefits stop, and then in the 10th month, something happens and I can't work?
Am I back to square one?
Do I have to reapply for benefits?
Social Security has a safety net. After the 9 month Trial Work Period, you may get a 36 month re-entitlement period, or "Extended Period of Eligibility" (EPE). During the Extended Period of Eligibility, Social Security may continue your benefits in any month that your gross earnings are not at the Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) level.
How long do you have to complete the 9 month Trial Work Period?
If you worked 1 month a year, could it take you 9 years to complete a Trial Work Period?
Actually, there is a rolling 60 month (5 year) window in which Social Security looks for the 9 Trial Work Period months. According to Social Security, "The trial work period continues until you have completed nine trial work months within a 60-month period."
That means you can actually have more than 9 Trial Work Period months in total, so long as you do not exceed 9 TWP months in a 60 month period.
For more information about Trial Work Periods, check out the Trial Work Period regulation: § 404.1592. The trial work period.

Respect. Courtesy. Decency. Three words we Americans pride ourselves on. Yet I am finding it harder and harder to see any one of these three in today's society. I speak for those who believe in respect and courtesy for fellow human beings, not for those who believe it is OK to picket outside of a funeral, as if it were a political rally.
The Westboro Baptist Church's decision to hold up signs such as "Thank God For Dead Soldiers" outside of a funeral was not only tasteless, it was reprehensible in human nature. I remember when a church would conduct itself with honor and dignity, all by God's good graces. I am well aware of the fact that this took place in 2006, however, more and more we are seeing acts of said tastelessness erupt among today's society. I pray for the day when respect, courtesy and decency are more commonplace, instead being long forgotten.

Why Creative Commons must succeed
"Why am I joining CC? Because its success is so vital, and I want to ensure we succeed. Creativity, knowledge, and innovation need a public commons – a collection of works that are free to use, re-use, and build upon – the shared resources of our society. The restrictions we place on copyright, like fair use and the public domain, are an acknowledgement that all creativity and knowledge owe something to what came before."
CC is proud to welcome its incoming CEO, Ryan Merkley.
We're excited to announce the launch of the Open Policy Network, a coalition of organizations committed to advancing policies that require open licenses for publicly funded materials. Find out how to get involved.
Last week, Lawrence Lessig won a lifetime achievement Webby Award for his work as co-founder of Creative Commons. Have you heard his five-word acceptance speech?

NSF grantee opens up wind technology training materials for fellow grantees
WindTech TV, a collection of wind turbine technician training materials and simulation modules, is now available under a CC BY license. Developed as part of a National Science Foundation (NSF) Advanced Technological Education project, WindTech TV's modules are aligned with industry standards and designed to be integrated into two-year college wind technology programs to sustain workforce development in the field of wind power.
Modules are currently being used by community colleges across the United States, and Principal Investigator Phil Pilcher wants to expand that impact through reuse by other grantees, including those part of the U.S. Department of Labor's $2 billion Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College & Career Training (TAACCCT) grant program.
"WindTechTV has always been free, but we think that the CC BY license will increase usage. One of our project goals is to disseminate the materials nationwide. The CC license lets instructors and administrators know that they can use our videos as they wish when they are developing and delivering courses. Also, TAACCCT grantees who are working on alternative energy courses will now be able to reuse our video content, which should speed up development."
All modules are available at http://www.windtechtv.org and videos are available from WindTech TV's YouTube channel.

Apply now to participate in the Institute for Open Leadership
Earlier this week, we kicked off the Open Policy Network. We announced that the first project within the Network is the Institute for Open Leadership. The Institute for Open Leadership is a training program to develop new leaders in education, science, public policy, and other fields on the values and implementation of openness in licensing, policies, and practices. The Institute is looking for passionate public- and private-sector professionals interested in learning more about openness and wish to develop and implement an open policy in their field.
Interested applicants should review the application information and submit an application by June 30, 2014. We plan to invite about 15 fellows to participate in the first round of the Institute for Open Leadership. The in-person portion of the Institute will be held in the San Francisco bay area in January 2015 (TBD: either January 12-16 or January 19-23). Applications are open to individuals anywhere in the world.
A central part of the Institute will require fellows to develop and implement a capstone open policy project. The point of this project is for the fellow to transform the concepts learned at the Institute into a practical, actionable, and sustainable initiative within her/his institution. Open policy projects can take a variety of forms depending on the interests of the fellow and the field where the project will be implemented.
Questions about the Institute for Open Leadership should be directed to email@example.com. Our thanks to the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the Open Society Foundations for funds to kickstart the Institute for Open Leadership.3 Comments »
The beginning of the Authors Alliance
Yesterday marked the launch of the Authors Alliance, a nonprofit organization that supports authors who want "to harness the potential of digital networks to share their creations more broadly in order to serve the public good."
In an interview with Publisher's Weekly, Authors Alliance founder Pamela Samuelson explained that the Authors Alliance will have a few different roles. Inwardly, the group will "provide authors with information about copyrights, licensing agreements, alternative contract terms," and other practical legal information so that they can make their works widely and openly available. And externally, the Alliance will "represent the interests of authors who want to make their works more widely available in public policy debates," and advocate for these reforms alongside like-minded public interest organizations.
The Authors Alliance was developed by Samuelson and several of her colleagues at the University of California Berkeley including Molly Van Houweling, Carla Hesse, and Thomas Leonard. The Alliance also has an advisory board made up of pre-eminent scholars, writers, and public interest advocates, including several members of the Creative Commons board of directors. The Authors Alliance is now accepting new members.
The Alliance has already developed a set of copyright reform principles, outlining its vision for changes to copyright law to support authors who write to be read.
We have formed an Authors Alliance to represent authors who create to be read, to be seen, and to be heard. We believe that these authors have not been well served by misguided efforts to strengthen copyright. These efforts have failed to provide meaningful financial returns to most authors, while instead unacceptably compromising the preservation of our own intellectual legacies and our ability to tap our collective cultural heritage. We want to harness the potential of global digital networks to share knowledge and products of the imagination as broadly as possible. We aim to amplify the voices of authors and creators in all media who write and create not only for pay, but above all to make their discoveries, ideas, and creations accessible to the broadest possible audience.
The principles include:
- Further empower authors to disseminate their works.
- Improve information flows about copyright ownership.
- Affirm the vitality of limits on copyright that enable us to do our work and reach our audiences.
- Ensure that copyright's remedies and enforcement mechanisms protect our interests.
At the core, the Authors Alliance and Creative Commons share a similar goal: to provide useful resources and tools for creators who aren't being served well by the existing copyright system. We're excited to work with the Alliance on issues that support authors who write to be read–and the public interest for whom these authors create.Comments Off on The beginning of the Authors Alliance

French Ministry of Culture and Communication embraces CC licenses (and makes a cool video)
Aurélie Filippetti – Salon du Livre 2014 / ActuaLitté / CC BY-SA
In late 2013, we blogged about a set of initiatives that French minister of culture and communications Aurélie Filippetti had unveiled. Together, the initiatives represented a commitment to a more creative, more open France. And they also represented a strong commitment to helping students, cultural creators, and society as a whole understand and use Creative Commons licenses, in partnership with CC France.
Last week, the ministry announced that it was sharing its two flagships websites under CC BY-SA, culturecommunication.gouv.fr and culture.fr.
To help educate French-speaking populations on how to use CC licenses and find CC-licensed works, the Ministry and CC France produced this video. Watch it even if you don't speak French: the excellent design and flow really speak for themselves.

FIRST Act moving ahead in US Congress
Update: The amendment to Section 303 was adopted.
Can it be salvaged to promote public access to federally funded research?
In March we wrote about the introduction of the Frontiers in Innovation, Research, Science and Technology Act of 2014 (FIRST Act). The aim of the FIRST Act is to promote the dissemination of publicly funded scientific research. But the contentious Section 303 of the bill rolls back some of the most common policies governing existing research investments.
If passed in its current state, the FIRST Act would extend embargoes to federally funded research articles to up to three years after initial publication. This means that commercial publishers would be able to control access to publicly funded research during this time, and the public would not have free public access to this research. Even the longstanding NIH Public Access Policy tolerates embargoes no longer than 12 months. We've said before that the public should be granted immediate access to the content of peer-reviewed scholarly publications resulting from federally funded research. Immediate access is the ideal method to optimize the scientific and commercial utility of the information contained in the articles.
The FIRST Act would allow grantees to fulfill access requirements by providing a link to a publisher's site instead of requiring deposit in a federally-approved repository. Currently NIH research grantees must deposit in the PubMed Central repository. The reliance on publishers to make (and keep) the research available jeopardizes the long-term access and preservation of publicly-funded research in the absence of a requirement that those links be permanently preserved.
The FIRST Act would permit affected agencies to spend up to 18 additional months to develop plans to comply with the conditions of the law, thus further delaying the plans that are already being organized by federal agencies under the White House Public Access Directive and Omnibus Appropriations Act.
The bill was previously was discussed in the subcommittee of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. The passage of the FIRST Act with the Section 303 language as-is would harm existing as well as proposed public access policies in the United States. Today during the full committee markup of the bill Representatives James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) and Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) will introduce an amendment that would improve Section 303.
The Sensenbrenner/Lofgren amendment would change the embargo to 12 months, with the possibility that under certain circumstances the embargo could be extended for an additional 6 months. The amendment still does not require that federally-funded research articles be deposited in an approved repository. But it would shorten the length of time agencies get to develop and implement their public access plans. Affected agencies would need to develop a public access plan and report to Congress within 90 days. And the plans would need to be implemented within a year. One interesting piece of the amended Section 303 is that after an initial three-month planning period, the agencies would be required to submit an analysis on whether covered works should be made available under an open license.
Such report shall include an examination of whether covered works should include a royalty-free copyright license that is available to the public and that permits the reuse of those research papers, on the condition that attribution is given to the author or authors of the research and any others designated by the copyright owner.
There's still time for you to call members of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee and tell them to support the Sensenbrenner/Lofgren Section 303 amendment. The amendment is a step in the right direction to truly supporting public access to publicly funded research in the United States.Comments Off on FIRST Act moving ahead in US Congress
Seeds of Change
I received a fat packet in mail, full of seeds with unusual names—Magma Mustard; Flashy Lightning Lettuce; Lemon Pastel Calendula; Cherry Vanilla Quinoa—and an even more unusual but evocative note stuck on the packets.
This Open Source Seed pledge is intended to ensure your freedom to use the seed contained herein in any way you choose, and to make sure those freedoms are enjoyed by all subsequent users. By opening this packet, you pledge that you will not restrict others' use of these seeds and their derivatives by patents, licenses, or any other means. You pledge that if you transfer these seeds or their derivatives they will also be accompanied by this pledge.
Welcome to the Open Source Seed Initiative, a group that includes scientists, citizens, plant breeders, farmers, seed companies, and gardeners, and has its origins in both the open source software movement and in the realization among plant breeders and social scientists that continued restrictions on seed may hinder our ability to improve our crops and provide access to genetic resources.
Jack Kloppenburg, Professor, Department of Community and Environmental Sociology, and one of the founders of OSSI, contacted me a couple of years ago, just around the time I joined CC full-time. He was hoping for a CC-type license for the seeds. CC's focus, however, is restricted to copyright. And, at least for now, copyright is an area that keeps our hands full. However, OSSI's goals are very much in line with CC's mission, to free information, to make it flow from those who create it to those who want to use it, with least impedance. And, what better example of information than a seed in which the very blueprint of life is embedded.
Jack's email signature reads, "Well," she said, "you have a high tolerance for lunatics, don't you?" Knowing Jack, that sounds about right. You've got to be crazy to be able to change the world.
Yes Jack, let's talk, heck, let's not just talk, but let's actually collaborate and spread the seeds of change.Comments Off on Seeds of Change
Launch of the Open Policy Network
Today we're excited to announce the launch of the Open Policy Network. The Open Policy Network, or OPN for short, is a coalition of organizations and individuals working to support the creation, adoption, and implementation of policies that require that publicly funded resources are openly licensed resources. The website of the Open Policy Network is http://openpolicynetwork.org.
Increasingly, governments around the world are sharing huge amounts of publicly funded research, data, and educational materials. The key question is, do the policies governing the procurement and distribution of publicly funded materials ensure the maximum benefits to the citizens those policies are meant to serve? When open licenses are required for publicly funded resources, there is the potential to massively increase access to and reuse of a wide range of materials, from educational content like digital textbooks, to the results of scholarly research, to troves of valuable public sector data. The $2 billion U.S. Department of Labor TAACCCT grant program is an example of a policy whereby publicly funded education and training materials are being made available broadly under an open intellectual property license.
There is a pressing need for education, advocacy, and action to see a positive shift in supporting open licensing for publicly funded materials. The Open Policy Network will share information amongst its members, recruit new advocates, and engage with policymakers worldwide. The OPN members are diverse in content area expertise and geographic location. Creative Commons is a part of the Open Policy Network because we believe that the public deserves free access and legal reuse to the the resources it funds. With simple policy changes — such as requiring publicly-funded works be openly licensed and properly marked with easy-to-understand licensing information — the public will be better able to take advantage of their rights to access and reuse the digital materials developed with taxpayer funds.
With today's launch of the Open Policy Network, we're announcing our first project, the Institute for Open Leadership. Through a weeklong summit with experts, accepted fellows will get hands-on guidance to develop a capstone project for implementation in their organization or institution. The Institute for Open Leadership will help train new leaders in education, science, and public policy fields on the values and implementation of openness in licensing, policies, and practices.
The Open Policy Network is free to join and anyone is welcome! More information on the Open Policy Network is available at the website, Google Group, Twitter, and Facebook.Comments Off on Launch of the Open Policy Network
Attention game designers: Public Domain Jam!
If you're a videogame designer and you have nothing to do over the next week (or if making cool games is more fun than your day job), why not spend the week developing a public domain game?
The idea of The Public Domain Jam is to encourage developers to create games based on public domain assets and stories, and optionally give the games themselves back to the public domain via the CC0 waiver. The game trailer encourages designers to think about the amazing wealth of public domain source material: maybe in the next week, Ovid's Metamorphoses will dethrone zombies as the most important source of game design inspiration in the public domain.
The contest is being organized by game developer Gritfish, and fellow game developer Nick Liow is sponsoring a $1000 prize for the best CC0 game.
If you recognize Nick's name, it might be because I interviewed him last year about his Open Game Art Bundle. Since then, he's released his own crowdfunded CC0 game, Nothing to Hide.
Hurry! The Public Domain Jam ends May 24.
Update (June 9): The judges have selected the best CC0 game, Paper Jekyll. It's a really interesting take on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Check it out! Congratulations to everyone who built a game.Comments Off on Attention game designers: Public Domain Jam!

Neil Young, Jay Z, & More Shows To Catch
Photos: Via Carnegie Hall and Facebook.
Neil Young: Carnegie Hall, January 6, 7, 9, and 10, $50
After more than forty years, Neil Young remains one of the world's greatest songwriters and performers. This week, he'll play four nights at Carnegie Hall's inimitable Isaac Stern Auditorium. Whether this is your first or your hundredth time seeing Young live, you owe it to yourself to seek out one (or more) of these sets.
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, January 6, 7, 9 and 10, 8 p.m., Carnegie Hall Isaac Stern Auditorium, 881 7th Ave, New York (between 56th and 57th Streets); 212-247-7800.
Sepalcure, Alex Burkat, and Aquarian: Cameo Gallery, January 10, $20
Sepalcure is the collaborative project between Travis Stewart (a.k.a. Machinedrum) and Praveen Sharma — two of electronic music's most exciting producers. Though it could likely fill a much larger venue, the duo's intricately programmed bass music should sound fantastic in Cameo Gallery's intimate back-room lair.

Mac DeMarco, Delicate Steve, and Hunters: Brooklyn Night Bazaar, January 10, FREE
We love Brooklyn Night Bazaar for its food and shopping as much as its excellently curated live performances. This week's event is headlined by Canadian indie-slacker Mac DeMarco with some help from the genre-bending Delicate Steve and R29 faves Hunters. Put simply, we couldn't think of a better lineup to soundtrack your Rosamunde munching or sweater shopping.
Friday, January 10, 6 p.m., Brooklyn Night Bazaar, 165 Banker Street (at Norman Avenue); Brooklyn; no phone.
Up for more? Here are some bonus shows:
January 7: Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks play Generation Records.

Majestic Wines 11/00
Part II - dry and fortified wines
This was a trade tasting of all the newest lines/vintages available in Majestic Wine Warehouses, the UK's "by the case" specialist. Majestic have branches across the UK, and now a rather good e-commerce site with free delivery from your nearest store. Some of these wines will also be available in other retailers both in the UK and abroad.

Part I - sparkling, sweet and white wines
Rioja Berberana (Spain) 1998 £4.99 Buy 6 at £3.99
Rich earthiness on the nose with berries and vanilla and a little beefy, animal note. Nice fat fruit on the palate which is rich and tobacco tinged, with berries and nuances of tobacco. Good.
Arva Vitis (Spain) Tempranillo 1998, La Mancha £4.99 Buy 6 at £3.99
Less overt fruit on the nose and a rather dry, mean palate. A little dilute and acidic. Not good on this showing.
Bodegas Marco Real (Spain) Crianza Merlot, Navarra 1996 £5.49 Buy 6 at £4.39
Earth, beef, blood and sweet plummy fruit lead to a palate that is dry and oaky, though some dense plum and blackcurrant fruit emerges, though gripped by rather harsh tannins and acid.
Cellier de Capcanes (Spain) Mas Collet 1998 £5.99 Buy 6 at £4.79
Sweet stewed prune flavours mix with brighter, ripe blackcurrant notes. Nice mouthfeel, with plenty of juicy black fruit and fine, ripe tannins adding grip. Savoury, and with good length. Very good and fine value.
Cellier de Capcanes (Spain) Costers del Gravet 1998 £8.99 Buy 6 at £7.19
Much more minerality on the nose with a charry depth to black fruit that are ripe and minty. Lovely concentration here, this has depth of fine, bitter-edged fruits and tight, well-focused tannins and balanced acidity. Good length. Very good indeed.
Marqués de Riscal (Spain) Tempranillo 1999, Castilla y León £6.99 Buy 6 at £5.59
A very sweet fudge note dominates a nose of ripe fruit. An "international style", with oak and plenty of blue/black, almost Port-like fruit and plummy depth. Very good.
Berberana (Spain) Rioja Reserva 1989 £9.99 Buy 6 at £7.99
Dank, leafy, tea, tobacco and vanilla on the nose. The fruit is soft with plum and caramel before some quite aggressive acidity just spikes the finish. Good.
Berberana (Spain) Rioja Gran Reserva 1978 £12.99 Buy 6 at £10.39
The sweet, slightly volatile nose is so typical of mature old Rioja. Notes of tea, red fruit, earth and leather. The medium-bodied palate is suffused with mellow fruit that is sweet and has a slightly rotting quality (pleasantly so) with berry and tobacco notes and soft acidity. Needs drinking, but a real treat.
Marqués de Riscal (Spain) Gran Reserva 1994 £19.99 Buy 6 at £15.99
Lots of structure and character here with a cherry brightness and a seam of black fruit overlayed with vanilla. Savoury on the palate with fine tannins and good length. Very good. Will age.
Miguel Merino (Spain) Rioja Reserva 1994 £22.99 Buy 6 at £18.39
First release from a new super-bodega, this is impressive with a serious, structured nose of crunchy black fruit, some leather, spice and just a little hint of fresh raspberry. The palate is very structured and grippy with tannins adding backbone to the firm-toned fruit. Balanced and should age very gracefully. Very good.
Gilles Roux (France) Beaujolais Villages Domaine de la Plaigne 1999 £5.99 new, Buy 2 at £5.49
Zippy, fresh, bubblegum and raspberry style. Fruit is fresh and quite sparky with bursting berry and spice flavours. Ends up in quite a serious style with some tannic bite. Good.
Jean Descombes (France) Morgon 1999 £7.49 reduced £6.99
Tighter blue/black fruit aromas with a sweet confectionery edge. Very dense and crunchy on the palate, a depth of fruit and decent balance, though only a moderate finish. Good.
Domaine des Duc (France) St Amour 1999 £7.49 new, Buy 2 at £6.99
Very gravelly, schisty, smoky nose. Real character. Fruit is solidly packed on the palate with sweet blueberry flavours and lots of grip, enlivened by some softer red fruit in the finish with plenty of depth. Very good indeed.
Aucoeur (France) Morgan Vielles Vignes Fűts de Chęne 1998 £7.49
Sweet blue/black fruits. Quite restrained and classy with a coolness about the fruit, lots of elegance anad structure. Very good.
Domaine de Richard (France) 1999, VdPays de L'Aude £2.99 reduced £2.79
Nice berry-fruited nose, lots of blackcurrant, redcurrant. Smooth, full palate with ripe but bittersweet fruit against a nice tannin and acid framework. Very good indeed and an absolute stand-out bargain.
La Closeraie (France) Faugères Abbaye de Sylva Plana 1999 £6.49 Buy 2 at £5.99
Smoky and schisty black fruits. Quite frim and tannic palate. Structured, with a plumskin roughness to black fruits. Concentrated and deep, this needs food but is very good.
Minervois Domaine des Aires (France) Hautes La Livinière 1998 £6.99 Buy 2 at £5.99
Another of those incerdibly dense, focused plum, blackcurrant and cassis wines of the south. Lots of bright, deep, glossy black fruits flavours, ripe and with good purity and length. Good/very good.
Château Coupe Féraud et Brunel Roses Les Plots 1999, Minervois £6.99
More of the same with perhaps a little more plummy depth and concentration and a longer finish showing good, pure black fruit flavours and good balance. Very good.
Féraud et Brunel (France) L'Image du Sud 1998 £12.99
Gaudy label, but a restrained style that is quite classy. The palate is serious and restrained too, with a complex, structured quality of fruits, tannin and acid, but I have a niggling doubt if it has the fruit to withstand the tannic onslaught. Potentially very good?
Domaine le Pigeonnier (France) Côtes du Rhône 1999 £4.99
A little dirty earthiness to berry fruit on the nose. Soft notes of strawberry and a hint of wet earth. Lovely ripe, sweet fruit and crunchy freshness. A little chocolaty richness in finish. Easy drinking and good.
Château D'Aquéria (France) Lirac Les Esperelles 1998 £6.49 Buy 2 at £5.99
Quite tight on the nose, quite reserved with firm, liquoricy fruit and a gripping tannic edge. This seems to have a lot of structure and if it softens with a few years in bottle will be very good.
Cave de Tain l'Hermitage (France) Cornas 1997 £9.99 reduced £9.49
Sweet, slightly baked qualty on the nose with jammy fruit and a darkly-hued quality. Firm and savoury on the palate with spice and pepper as well as firm, juicy blackcurrant fruit. A serious style. Good.
Guigal (France) Côte Rôtie Brune et Blonde 1997 £19.99 new Intro offer, will be £21.99
Smoke, charcoal and pepper on the nose over a core of minerality. Lots of that mineral, gravelly quality on the palate with a core of sweet, rich black fruit. This has considerable depth and lots of concentration. Good balance, though needs time still. Fine and very good.
Clos Lormenat (France) 1997, Bordeaux Supérieur £5.99 new, Buy 2 at £5.49
Dank, weedy notes before good fruit emerges. Palate is grippy, with decent quality of fruit and a fleshy mouthfeel, though finishes a little dry and lean.
Chateau Robin (France) 1997 £7.99 new, Intro offer, will be £8.99
Smoky charred oak layered over good black fruit. Quite round and plummy on the palate, though still good structure and balance. Good.
Château Morin (France) 1997, St-Estèphe £9.99 reduced £8.99
This has a nicely defined nose with fruit and a cedary quality, though the palate is a little light on fruit and a touch dry. Decent claret, though seems a bit non-descript at the price.
Château La Vieille Croix (France) 1997, Fronsac £11.99 reduced 9.99
More new coffee and spice oak over sweeter, richer fruit. Palate is cool with a mintiness to the blackcurrant fruit and a good, spicy bite in the finish of oak tannins and acid. Good.
Moulin de la Lagune (France) 1998, Haut-Médoc £10.99 reduced £9.99
Some claret notes of cedar wood and smoke over leafy cabernet fruit, with a little weedy edge. Palate is quite grippy, fruit is good if a little flat in the mid-palate. Good.
Château Gontey (France) 1998, St-émilion Grand Cru £12.99 new, Intro offer, will be £13.99
Round, rich, berries and cream nose with some plum and soft, summer-pudding character. Lush and juicy on the palate with plenty of cool, classy fruit and just a hint of vanillin oak. Good length, and a nice wine.
Chateau La Grave Figeac (France) 1997 St-Emilion £16.99 reduced £14.99
Another classic claret nose with plenty of pencil-shaving, cedar and blackcurrant as well as softer, plummy depth. Palate is again a little flatter in the mid-palate than I'd hope for, but it is smoothly textured with fine tannins and good acidity giving a clean, long finish. Good/very good.
Banfi (Italy) Col di Sasso 1998, IGT Toscana £4.79 Buy 2 at £3.99
Rich, sweet berry and cherry fruit on the nose, little notes of soft brown sugar. Firm, tight and juicy palate. Good fruit and structure at the price. Good.
Antinori (Italy) Santa Christina 1999 £5.99 Buy 2 save at £4.99
This has a real ripeness of cherry, vanilla and milky coffee. Sweet, focused fruit on the palate. Very classy with medium body, balance and structure. Very good.
Tedeschi (Italy) Valpolicella Classico dei Nicalo 1997 £5.99 Buy 2 at £5.49
This is bright and fragrant with cherry, flowers and liquorice. The palate is fresh, with highish acidity, but good depth of rounded berry fruit. Good.

Prunotto (Italy) Nebbiolo d'Alba Occhetti Vineyard 1998 £8.99 new, Intro offer, will be £9.99
Rich, tightly-wound nose of blue/black fruits. Very liquoricy and dense there's a subtle smokiness too. The palate has a huge peppery streak to vivid blueberry fruit then biting tannins that suggest this needs time - 5 - 8 years.
Falchini (Italy) Paretaio 1997 £9.99
Rich, sweet oak over soft mulberry and earth, a very autumnal quality. Lots of good quality ripe, sweet fruit and a nice tartness of red cherry. Chewy, with good length. Very good.
Tedeschi (Italy) Rosso della Fabriseria 1998 £11.99
Lots of smoky, charry oak with a creamy foundation to blackcurrant and raspberry fruit. This has plenty of juicy, mouthwatering character and a lovely quality of ripe fruit married to creamy vanilla and woodsmoke into a long finish. Very good indeed.
Montes (Chile) Limited Selection Cabernet/Carmenère 1999 £6.49 new, Intro offer, will be £6.99
Really crunchy, bright flashy ripeness on the nose. Terrific fruit. There's a pure blue/black fruit quality on the palate with distinct pepper and spice notes and a little touch of violet. Rich, dense and attractive it stays pure and focused into the finish. Very good.

Caramel, and a slightly foxy earthiness on the nose. Palate is cool and clean, with a spicy edge to crisp blackberry and raspberry fruit. Good.
Oxford Landing (Australia) Limited Release Shiraz 1998 £6.49
A stewed, pruney quality before a seam of pure, glossy black fruit. Quite creamy on the palate, dense and rich with silky tannins. Maybe lacks a little follow-through on the fruit, the palate dying slightly, but very good.

Big blockbuster nose with bags of mint, eucalyptus, mulberry, plum and nuances of spice, vanilla and herbs. The palate is rich and fleshy with a raft of solid, smoky fruit and oak backed up with fine tannins and modest acidity. Very impressive.
Bethany (Australia) Grenache 1999, Barossa Valley £6.49 Buy 2 at £5.99
Bright, focused, crunchily aromatic fruit on the nose with suggestions of pepper, mulled spices and sweet cassis, berries and a very ripe character.

Wither Hills Pinot Noir 1999 £11.99
This is distinctly smoky, with vegetal fruit and notes of tobacco and soft, strawberry fruit. On the palate it is a touch hollow, though charry oak precedes some decent fruit. Not quite together, but may improve. Quite good on this showing.
Blandy's 1994 Harvest Malmsey Madeira £9.99 Intro offer, will be £11.99
Sweet brown sugar notes, quite syrupy. Nuances of nuts, raisins and rum-soaked sultanas. Palate has more of the same with a definite orangy fruit and gentle citrus acidity into the finish. Good.

LSU Eunice Adds Pre-engineering Program
Students hoping to pursue careers in engineering fields will be able to jump-start their educations closer to home thanks to a pre-engineering program headed to Louisiana State University Eunice.The program has been made possible by a two-year grant through the National Science Foundation and will be based on McNeese State University's (MSU) curriculum, but allow area students to begin those studies in Eunice, according to Michael Scanlan, instructor of physics and facilitator of the pre-engineering program at LSU Eunice."This will give our local engineering students a jump start on their education so they're not so far behind once they transfer to four-year universities," he said. "Especially if the students plan to continue their education at McNeese, this new program will be a tremendous help in their education."Currently, the pre-engineering program will consist of three basic classes that Scanlan said most engineering students must take. The classes include Elementary Circuits, Thermodynamics One and Statics. Students will be in an LSU Eunice classroom for studies, communicating through compressed video feed with a McNeese instructor. The LSUE students will be able to communicate with the instructor, asking questions or giving answers as in any regular classroom setting. Scanlan will also be in the classroom with students should they need one-on-one assistance or help after class.Having those three classes so close to home is a benefit to the area and local students, Scanlan said.A 2002 Iota High School graduate, the instructor received his bachelor of science in physics at McNeese State University, then went on to receive his master of science in applied physics from Louisiana Tech in Ruston. Through his own education, Scanlan said he realizes the importance of having such sciences offered nearby."One problem we see with our students is that they begin taking courses here, but once they transfer, they are far behind in required engineering courses," he said. "And with so many students pursuing engineering careers, we need to prepare them at the start of their education for what they will study later on."In fact, Scanlan said, the National Association of Colleges and Employers recently listed its top ten degrees that pay good money: eight of those involved a type of engineering degree."There's a broad range of opportunities with those degrees, which is why so many students are pursuing that avenue," he added. "Within the government and every major company, a variety of engineers are employed."Scanlan said the credits for the classes will transfer to MSU without problems, and should transfer to any other university; however, due to different requirements at each university, there are some cases when a credit might not be accepted.Scholarships are also available to help offset costs for those specific pre-engineering courses. While Scanlan said there are no specific qualifications to apply for the scholarships, he said the money would go to academically sound sophomores."That's because to get into the three courses, a student needs to at least successfully pass a calculus course," he explained. "So these aren't courses that a first-time freshman would have in his first or second semester."The classes will start up this fall when LSU Eunice begins a new semester. Any student interested in the pre-engineering program is encouraged to contact Scanlan by email at email@example.com.
LSU Eunice is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award associate degrees. Contact the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097, at http://www.sacscoc.org , or call 404-679-4500, for questions about the accreditation of LSU Eunice.

text: Introducing: 'Dadchelor Parties' Expectant dads mark last days of freedom, but not everyone likes the idea By John Johnson, Newser Staff Posted Jun 15, 2011 1:47 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (7) (Newser) – The "dadchelor party"—in which soon-to-be new dads are taken out by the boys for a night of drinking—is officially a trend, declares the Huffington Post. (Other names: daddymoon, dadelor party, man-shower, diaper keg.) "I've been on three or four of them," says one Chicago participant. Jokes aside, Jezebel's Anna North is OK with it: "It's nice that increasingly, men seem to be taking their responsibilities as fathers seriously, and acknowledging that when the baby comes, it's not just the mother's life that's going to change," she writes. "It's good that guys are recognizing that fatherhood is serious business—even if it takes them a few beers to do it." At Good, Nona Willis Aronowitz is all in favor of a good party, but less enthusiastic about these particular bashes. She sees dadchelor parties "as a reflection of a culture that provides absolutely no support for parents." Compared to Europe, America doesn't do much for new parents, and men realize they'll need a few drinks before the "grindstone" kicks in. "Let's take the advent of the dadchelor party as a reminder to push for policies and cultural shifts that will make parents' lives easier and more pleasurable," she writes. "Shouldn't we be celebrating a child's arrival, not mourning the death of a part of ourselves?" Dadchelor parties are all the rage, apparently.

HOUSTON (AP) - The U.S. Marshals service says they have
captured escaped convicted killer Charles Victor Thompson in
Marianne Matus with the U.S. Marshals Service said Thompson was
in custody, but did not provide any additional details.
Authorities had been searching for Johnson since he fled the
Harris County Jail late Thursday, using a smuggled set of clothes
and a fake identification badge to get past the guards.
Thompson was convicted in 1999 for the shooting deaths a year
earlier of his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend.
Dennise Hayslip, 39, was from Tomball and Darren Keith Cain, 30, was from nearby Spring.
Harris County Sheriff's Department spokesman Lieutenant John
Martin said Friday that Thompson's escape resulted from "multiple
errors" by jail personnel.
Matus had said earlier Sunday that authorities had received
valuable tips about Thompson's possible whereabouts.
The U.S. Marshals Service had offered a $10,000 reward
for Thompson's capture and designated him a federal fugitive in
order to use its resources to find him.
Thompson was sentenced to death on October 28 and was being
held in the county jail until he could be transferred to a prison
in Livingston.

Over the Hill
So much for sticking together through thick and thin. Jonah Hill has not only dropped major poundage, he's also shed his longtime love. That's according to Life & Style, which says the slimmed-down funnyman, 27, has called it quits with girlfriend Jordan Klein, whom he met in high school and began dating in 2008.
"They decided to break up," says a source, "although everyone thought these two would be heading toward marriage."
The apparent split comes three months after the pair were photographed enjoying a romantic clinch after a lunch date in Los Angeles.

West Mifflin plans to continue softball revival
TribLIVE Sports Videos
A share of the section title, a trip to the semifinals, a game shy of qualifying for the state playoffs and a 17-win season is, by all accounts, a pretty solid softball campaign.
For West Mifflin, it was once-on-a-generation season. Fourteen consecutive losing seasons — 13 of which resulted in 10 or more losses — no playoff appearances since 1998 and no section titles since 1995 was wiped away in a span of two months.
The hard part for sixth-year coach Casey Phillips is trying to sustain it.
"We want to take a culture of losing and make it into a culture of winning," Phillips said.
That's not an easy thing to do, and Phillips knows all about it.
Phillips took over a 1-15 team in 2009 and put together seasons of 1-7-10, 7-9, 3-11 and 8-11 before last year's breakout 17-6 season.
"It's not easy," Phillips said. "But now the expectation are high, and hopefully we will rise to the challenge."
West Mifflin came within a 5-4 loss to Ambridge from advancing to its first WPIAL Class AAA championship game a year ago.
"It sticks with you for a little while, but when you put in into perspective of how far the program has come in the five years that we've been here, you can't look at it anyway other than a success," Phillips said. "I couldn't have been happier, and it makes it all the more exciting for this year because we know what we are capable of doing."
The challenge for West Mifflin this year is replacing four four-year starters and three-quarters of its infield in shortstop Marla Small, second baseman Kaylynn Andress and third baseman Syd Zalice, along with center fielder Amanda Leschak. Small, Andress and Leschak are playing college softball.
"We feel good about the team we are bringing back," Phillips said. "We have some people who are ready to step in and a couple of young kids who are going to have to grow up in a hurry. But in softball, the pitcher is the big 'X' factor."
West Mifflin's Paige Flore is one of the best in Class AAA.
Flore, a four-year starter and the reigning Daily News Softball Player of the Year, went 12-5 last year with 90 strikeouts. But Phillips has the luxury of another solid pitcher in Crystal Cook.
Cook went 5-1 last year but will likely see most of her time at first base because of her defense.
"It's nice to have more than one arm," Phillips said. "We will play it by ear, but Crystal is our best defensive first baseman. We want the best nine out there, and I'll leave it at that."
Returning are Cook (.348) at first, Alyssa Cairns (.329) behind the plate and the outfield of Chelsea Hess (.303), Shannon Davis (.348) and Taylor Lapko.
Sophomore Amber Cook will take over at shortstop, with Kasey Larson or Brooke Lowe at third and Lauren Ackerman (.348) at second. Ackerman was the designated hitter last year.
"They are new starters, but they were the primary backups last year and around the varsity all of last year" Phillips said. "They know what the expectations are and have groomed themselves to be starters this year. We have some holes to fill, but we have some people who can answer the call."
Phillips likes his chances in the postseason — that is, if his team qualifies for the playoffs. West Mifflin plays in one of the toughest sections in the WPIAL, with Belle Vernon, South Park, Southmoreland, Elizabeth Forward, Thomas Jefferson and Yough.
"The section is such a bear," Phillips said. "There really is no dog team. Anybody can beat anybody on any day. It's such a cliché, but I challenge you to find a better section in the WPIAL. We feel that if we can get in that we have as good as a shot than anybody. We just have to get there."

text: Good news for all those users that were whining about PDO not being available for free accounts. The 000webhost.com admin team will, once they upgraded and moved the new servers, make the PDO extension available for free accounts. Also PHP 5.3 is supposed to be installed on the new servers which is good news for all those users waiting for WordPress 3.2 to be released. WordPress 3.2, i believe, requires at least PHP 5.3 to run, so we will see many free hosting services either upgrade their PHP installation if not upgraded already, or loos customers because of not supporting PHP 5.3 ^^

Will Napster-style peer-to-peer searching mean an end to search engines? Despite the continuing hype, I doubt this will be a replacement for web-wide searching. There are strong advantages to a centralized system, not the least in terms of dealing with spam. I do think P2P has promise for intranet solutions, especially in situations where you have trusted data that you want to find on a few hundred or thousands of machines. But P2P for full-text search against a billion or more URLs? Unlikely. Below are two new articles, pro and con on P2P search, plus my last article on this topic.
Search project prepares to challenge Google
News.com, Feb. 26, 2001
Pandango is an interesting idea. By examining what we visit, it would then select the more popular documents in response to a search. This is akin to the bookmark-based search engines that were all the rage this time last year but which have failed to take off. It's also somewhat similar to the Alexa "Related Pages" technology already built into Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator but which I've yet to encounter many people using. Aside from the big disadvantage of requiring users to download software, there could also be privacy concerns. Long story detailing the project. Despite the company's suggestion they are the "third generation" of web searching, when Pandango launches, it will really be a first generation service. The technology may be a move in a new direction, but until it has been tried and tested against a web-wide audience, it can't really grab that claim to be the next rung on the evolutionary ladder of web search.
P2P Goes in Search of 'Doogle'
Wired, Feb. 16, 2001
P2P is unlikely to replace centralized web search engines, is the conclusion from this major P2P conference.
More Than Just Music Search
The Search Engine Report, June 2, 2000
Napster has obviously changed since this was written, but the contrast and comparison of centralized web search to the potential of P2P search remains relevant.

Event – Bubby's Brooklyn Pie Social SEP25
Join the pie community! Pie bakers of all skill levels are invited to participate in the 8th Annual Brooklyn Pie Social hosted by Bubby's, One Main St., DUMBO, the afternoon of Sunday, Sept. 25, as a benefit for New York City public schools.
Main Street in Brooklyn will overflow with a wonderful assortment of pies baked by local bakers. Bubby's also invites you to bring a pie to share and promises not a crumb of pie will be left.
Last year 80 bakers showed up to present their pies, and more than 300 people showed up to eat them. Your $5 entry fee and at least one homemade pie entitle you to five free tasting tickets (you can share them, and there is plenty to share) and a big blue ribbon. This is a social, not a contest, and organizers encourage all kinds of baking styles and all kinds of bakers. The community is invited to celebrate pie in all its varied glory.
Bakers should report at 11:30 a.m. for check-in and free coffee. Volunteers (students from the High School of Food and Finance) will circulate to help bakers so that they can taste and roam the social.
Bring pies that don't need refrigeration (cream, ice cream and custard pies are discouraged) because they can't withstand four hours of sun and are likely to spoil outside on a warm day. The organizers encourage savory pies as well as dessert pies, and would also like young bakers to participate.
Sign up now and be a part of the pie. Contact Dani Finkel at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (646) 338-0422.

The German actress, who was born in Münster and raised in Dülmen, Germany, studied theater in her homeland before migrating to New York City to pursue her career more seriously. She scored her first big hit with cult classic "Run Lola Run" but didn't officially jump the pond until 2002, when she starred opposite Matt Damon in "The Bourne Identity." She speaks fluent French, English and German and is currently starring in BBC America's "Copper." ... So she's a German actor in a British show about 1860s America.

ashzambuto: How to tell the difference between American Pit Bull Terrier and American Bull Dog?
I have a dog that I always thought was an APBT but a few people have suggested that she might be an American Bull Dog. I have seen pictures of both that look so much like her! How can I tell the difference??
here are a couple of pictures of her.
here is a picture of the american bull dog
and here is the American Pit Bull Terrier
http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/americanpitbull.htm do you not see the similarities as well?
Answers and Views:
Answer by Crazy_beautiiful.01
She could be a mixed breed, can you show me a picture of your dog?
Alright, they look completely different so you should be able to tell the difference easily. However, here is a short discription of both breeds.
American Pit Bull Terrier:
Medium length, deep through, broad skull, very pronounced cheek muscles, distinct stop; and ears are set high. Ears - Cropped or uncropped, the latter preferred. Uncropped ears should be short and held rose or half prick. Full drop to be penalized. Eyes - Dark and round, low down in skull and set far apart. No pink eyelids. Muzzle - Medium length, rounded on upper side to fall away abruptly below eyes. Jaws well defined. Underjaw to be strong and have biting power. Lips close and even, no looseness. Upper teeth to meet tightly outside lower teeth in front.
American Bulldog:
The perfect Bulldog must be of medium size and smooth coat; with heavy, thick-set, low-swung body, massive short-faced head, wide shoulders and sturdy limbs. The general appearance and attitude should suggest great stability, vigor and strength. The disposition should be equable and kind, resolute and courageous (not vicious or aggressive), and demeanor should be pacific and dignified. These attributes should be countenanced by the expression and behavior.
Okay, now, this is something that people often get confused about. Do you know what a real APBT should look like?
THIS, is not what they are supposed to look like, people are overfeeding them just so they can fight, this one weighs over 100 pounds.
This is what a real Pit Bull should look like:
This is an American Bulldog:
and this is a cross between both:
Hope this helped.
EDIT: She looks more Pitty, but from the first picture she looks a bit like a Bulldog. I still think she's an APBT.
Read all the answers in the comments.
What do you think?

Utah Jazz: Jazz overcome slow start to beat Wizards
Washington • The Jazz overcame disastrous starts to both the game and the second half Saturday to rally for their second road win of the season, beating Washington 83-76.
There was nothing convincing about the Jazz's victory, which saw them commit 19 turnovers and shoot only 37.8 percent from the floor against a team that has not yet won a game. But the Jazz, who salvaged a 2-2 record on the four-game road trip, couldn't be picky.
On a night Tyrone Corbin opted to start his "big" lineup, the group was largely ineffective together. But in the third quarter, the Jazz rallied behind 17 points from Al Jefferson, who finished with a game-high 21 points.
The Wizards had an opportunity to tie the game with 7:54 remaining in the fourth quarter, but with the Jazz up 69-67, Trevor Ariza missed a pair of free throws. From there, the Jazz went on an 11-2 run that put them up 80-69.
Where it was Jefferson saving the third quarter for the Jazz, it was Gordon Hayward in the second. Hayward came off the bench for the first time this season, yielding his starting spot to Randy Foye a tactic which Corbin hoped would give his third-year player more opportunities to create with the second unit.
It worked.
Hayward scored 13 first-half points, including an alley-oop dunk that put the Jazz up 27-23.
The Jazz came back from a 55-47 deficit in the third quarter to tie the game at 55.
