"Gardenstown by day and night"
Apart from the film local hero. In May 2007, a TV series titled The Baron was filmed in and around the village. The series featured three celebrities Malcolm McLaren, Mike Reid and Suzanne Shaw — competing to be elected "Baron of Troup". During the filming, McLaren was thrown out of the village for unruly behaviour, leaving Reid and Shaw to contest the final election, which was won by Reid. The series was due to be shown on the network in August 2007; however due to Reid's death, transmission of the series was delayed until April 2008. Before his death, Reid had expressed a wish to have a new community centre built in the village; a number of donations have since been secured from his family and others, and this is likely to go ahead in the near future. Mike's widow, Shirley, retains the title "Baroness of Troup", which is hereditary.

Wildlife and Nature
The sandy coastlines of Morayshire and Aberdeenshire stretch from Stonehaven on the East coast to Nairn in the west. Short stretches of cliff run from Hopeman to Covesea and from Portknockie to Findochty and populations consist of Fulmars and Kittiwakes with a smaller number of Shags and Black Guillemots. The best rocky shores are between Burghead and Hopeman, at Lossiemouth and between Portgordon and Findochty.
Inland the areas then extend southwards to the Cairngorm mountains. Nearly half of the land exceeds 250m altitude and is therefore upland in nature. With the higher hills exceeding 600m including the arctic-alpine Cairngorm plateau, home to Ptarmigan, Snow Bunting and Dotterel. The extensive lower moorlands hold a good variety of scarcer species such as Merlin, Twite, Ring Ouzel and Whinchat. Golden Plovers are locally numerous, joined by a few Dunlin in wetter bogs.
The extensive woodlands are largely composed of conifer plantations and in many areas these are sufficiently mature to have been colonised by Crested Tits, Siskins and crossbills. Capercaillies survive in small numbers. The younger moorland plantations hold breeding Black Grouse and Short-eared Owl and the birchwoods of the upland glens ring with the song of Willow warblers, Tree Pipits, Redstarts and Spotted Flycatchers in spring.
Winter waders include Purple Sandpipers in the muddy estuaries and the wide expanse of Findhorn Bay. In the Lossie and Spey rivers a wide variety of wildfowl, gulls and terns feed and roost on the estuaries and fishing ospreys are a regular feature in summer.
Offshore, Burghead Bay and Spey Bay are well known for their flocks of wintering sea ducks with impressive rafts of scoters, Long-tailed Ducks and Eider. You will find some great viewpoints along the way, in particular looking over the broad sweep of Cullen Bay with its lovely golden sand and the Fiddle Rock - a curiously shaped rock formation - and past the opening known as the Whale's Mouth.
Fishing the Rivers Deveron, Spey & Findhorn
Two wonderful rivers, the Spey and the Findhorn, lend much to the character of the area and many smaller rivers and streams drain the interior into the Moray Firth. Typical breeding species are Dipper, Grey Wagtail and Common Sandpiper. Goosanders inhabit the smaller upland tributaries with a few Red-breasted Mergansers breeding on the lower reaches. There is relatively little standing water in Moray & Nairn but Lochs Oire, na Bo, Loy and Spynie provide winter wildfowl interest; Loch Spynie in particular holds a spectacular winter goose roost, and a rich wetland breeding bird community in summer. The Deveron River, situated at Turriff is mid way between the river mouth at Banff and the headwaters above Huntly and offers the angler some of the finest salmon and trout fishing in Scotland. Bookings can be arranged via Frank and Carol Henderson, Turriff Tackle & Trophies Tel 01888 562428. Aberdeenshire also supports two other fine rivers the Dee and the Don and sea fishing can be obtained on the Moray Coast.

Beijing (AFP) July 18, 2013
One of Japan's biggest newspapers said Thursday its social media accounts have been deleted in China, amid a bitter territorial dispute between the two countries.
The Asahi Shimbun's head office in Tokyo said that all four of its microblogging accounts in China were shut down this week in what it described as an "abnormal situation".
"It would be really regrettable if the accounts had been closed intentionally despite the large number of followers... we strongly request the operators reopen the accounts as soon as they can," it said.
Users of Sina Weibo, a microblogging service similar to Twitter, said the newspaper's account disappeared on Wednesday after having gathered around 1.3 million followers.
The reason for the account's deletion was unclear. Sina, which runs the social media service, was not immediately available for comment.
It was not clear what services the other accounts were on.
A former social media editor for the newspaper, posting under the name Wangzuo Zhongyou, wrote that the accounts were taken down because of "instructions from above", without giving details.
Some Sina Weibo users on Thursday posted icons of candles in memory of the account's disappearance.
Beijing has previously blocked the websites of foreign media organisations including the New York Times and Bloomberg after they published reports on topics deemed taboo by the ruling Communist Party.
China and Japan have for decades disputed the ownership of a string of islands in the East China Sea known as Diaoyu in Chinese and Senkaku in Japanese.
Beijing stepped up its rhetoric and sent patrol ships to surrounding waters after Tokyo nationalised three islands in the chain in September last year, in what it said was a mere administrative change of ownership from a private owner.
China insists the islands were part of its territory until Japan annexed them in 1895 at the start of a half-century of acquisitive invasions that culminated in World War II.

text: Human genetics is in the midst of a revolution. With the complete sequencing of several human genomes and the exponential decrease in the cost of whole-genome sequencing, the promise of individual genome sequencing is imminent. Despite these advances, a large fraction of the genetic variation underling human disease and phenotypic variation remains unexplained. This Gordon Conference will bring together international leaders in the field of human genetics and genomics to discuss what has been learned and where the field is heading. Speakers will summarize the major advances in our understanding of the organization and function of our genome, discuss new insights into human genetic diversity and highlight the application of new sequencing technologies. A particular focus of the meeting will be the development of appropriate frameworks for the interpretation of whole-genome sequence data and for elucidating the biological effects of pathogenic variants. The conference should be of interest to researchers and students in the fields of human and medical genetics as well as those interested in genome biology in the post-genomic era. It will also provide a venue for rapid exposure to the "state of the art" for investigators contemplating studies, or the utilization of tools, in this field.

18. 05. 2009 - Czech Airlines to Introduce an Airplane in the SkyTeam Alliance Livery
Prague, 18 May 2009
Czech Airlines will introduce an aircraft in the colours of the SkyTeam global airline alliance. The silver ATR 42 with dark blue panes on the tail and the alliance's logo on the rear section of the fuselage is decorated with the wave pattern that forms SkyTeam's symbol. At the front of the aircraft is the name of the alliance and logo of the Airline, i.e., Czech Airlines.
Nine of the main airlines associated in the alliance have undertaken that at least one aircraft from each of their fleets would bear the alliance's livery. At this point, for example, the fleets of Delta Air Lines and Aeroméxico already include an airplane in the SkyTeam livery. Both carriers chose a Boeing 767. Czech Airlines has decided to "dress" its smallest and most efficient aircraft, an ATR 42. Another six airlines will present their aircraft in the SkyTeam livery over the next five months.
Passengers will first encounter the Czech Airlines aircraft with the matriculation OK-JFL in SkyTeam livery on 20 May, on the flight to Munich, which is one of the two main airports of the competing STAR Alliance. Czech Airlines deploys this type of aircraft on short-haul routes, primarily on flights to neighbouring countries, such as Germany, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, France, Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia.
ATR Aircraft
Czech Airlines has operated ATR aircraft since 1992. Presently, the fleet has a total of 12 turbo-propeller ATRs, of which four are from the 72 line, which accommodate 64 passengers. The remaining eight are from the 42 line and provide carriage for 46 passengers.
Number of ATR Aircraft in the Czech Airlines Fleet, 1992-2009
Compared to jet aircraft of a comparable size, turbo-propeller aircraft have lower operating costs, primarily due to lower fuel consumption and lower maintenance costs. They are also more reliable in operation and have lower requirements as to airport equipment and the quality of landing runways. Last year, when the entire aviation sector was plagued by the record-high prices of fuel, Czech Airlines therefore intensified the use of its most fuel-efficient aircraft, the ATRs.
In terms of the cruising speed, turbo-propeller aircraft are slower than jet aircraft; nevertheless, on short-haul flights, on which ATR aircraft are normally deployed, the difference compared to jet aircraft, of several minutes, is erased by the less demanding and therefore faster ground handling.
Czech Airlines expects that due to the advantageous geo-political situation of the Czech Republic and its accession to the European Union, the proportion of short, so-called feeder lines, which bring passengers to Prague Airport for transferring to connecting flights, will continue to grow in the future. There will also be more short regional lines with a strong local clientele. The efficient turbo-propeller aircraft will consequently continue to be an irreplaceable member of the Czech Airlines fleet.
Czech Airlines has been a member of the SkyTeam Alliance since 2001. The eleven members of the alliance carry 462 million passengers every year, on 16,700 scheduled flights per week, to 905 destinations in 169 countries around the world. In addition to this extensive offering, Czech Airlines passengers can, thanks to the airline's membership in the alliance, take advantage of a number of other benefits, such as the joint crediting of miles in frequent flyer programmes, 24-hour guaranteed booking, only one check-in on transfers, and last, but not least, a guarantee of the same quality of service with all SkyTeam airlines.
Czech Airlines is gradually converting its fleet into its new corporate livery. The first aircraft from the Czech Airlines fleet of 51 arrived painted with the new logo and in the new corporate livery – white, red, and grey – in October 2007. By now, 22 aircraft bear the new colours. The re-painting of an aircraft in SkyTeam livery does not entail any special financial burden for the Airline. An airplane must be repainted approximately every five years, and an aircraft that had been scheduled for a paint job was chosen for the new SkyTeam livery. The SkyTeam livery will constitute an exception in the Czech Airlines fleet, as it will be borne by only one aircraft. In the past, colours other than the traditional ones were borne, for example, by a Boeing 737, from 2003 to 2007, when it flew in a special livery with a depiction of the airline's very first aircraft, commemorating Czech Airlines' 80th anniversary.

Child Custody Decisions in Florida
Locate a Local Family Lawyer
If parents can't come to an agreement courts in Florida make custody decisions based on what is in the "best interest" of the child. The court will presume joint responsibility unless it finds that this would be harmful to the child. The court may also give one of the parents the ultimate responsibility over specific aspects of the child's welfare, such as primary residence, education and medical care.
What Does the Court Consider when Assigning Primary Residence?
The court will consider the following factors when deciding where the child should live:
- The emotional ties between the parents and the child
- The ability of each parent to provide food, clothing, medical care and other material needs for the child
- The moral fitness of the parents
- If the child has lived in a stable environment and how long this has been to try to ensure continuity
- The permanence of the existing or proposed permanent home
- The willingness to encourage the child's relationship with the other parent
- The home, school and community record of the child
- The wishes of the child if he/she is mature enough to express it
- Evidence of domestic violence or child abuse
What Happens when the Court Has Made a Decision?
The custody order is signed by the judge and then filed with the court clerk. Both parents are bound by the courts decision. If any of the parents doesn't follow the custody order the other parent may bring the issue before the judge who can modify it.
Should I Contact a Lawyer Regarding my Custody Issues?
It will be vital if you have concerns about who will make decisions for you child that you get a good attorney to help persuade the court what the right arrangement is for your child. A good family law attorney will help you do this.

I've thought about adding something like this before but I haven't been able to get around to it. I think it'd be more appropriate to add these options to the pagebreak component rather than as properties of the entire webform. That way you could make a buttons for example like "Step 1. Personal Information" and "Step 3. Specific requests". I'd love to include this functionality though!
Also, the patch has a few minor spacing issues.

I'd really prefer this be a component level feature rather than for the entire form. Having "global" and "local" configuration options are confusing and unpredictable in their behavior. If you need to use the same labels across several page breaks, webform provides the 'clone' feature for components. I won't commit this as a webform level feature.
Comment #4jazzitup CreditAttribution: jazzitup commented
Can you suggest any other way of implementation of this feature within a webform?
I find this feature very useful.
Comment #5isaac.niebeling CreditAttribution: isaac.niebeling commented
Hey all -
For my use, it's OK if all the Previous & Next buttons are the same--I've only got 2 steps, so there's only one Next. Two questions:
1. Will this patch work for that use (understanding that it would be better if it worked like quicksketch describes)?
2. Why won't just using $form['next']['#value'] = 'Send'; work? I'm guessing webform is looking for the specific value.
Comment #6quicksketch CreditAttribution: quicksketch commented
Currently you can't simply change the value of the buttons because Webform specifically looks for the words "Previous" and "Next" as the values. Since there are two buttons on the page, Webform needs to be able to associate the value with what action to take.
The patch worked fine as described when it was submitted. It might be out of date though now and not apply to the current code.
Comment #7isaac.niebeling CreditAttribution: isaac.niebeling commented
I had to patch the patch a little bit--looks like some of the line numbers had changed, so part of it didn't apply quite right, but it's all working the way I need now.
Thanks for such a great module.
Comment #8sampeckham CreditAttribution: sampeckham commented
Hi I was just searching to see if this was possible in Webform and found this thread.
Any chance this has progressed since July? Also, I'm using D6 and I like your idea quicksketch about applying the option to Pagebreak (it's the first place I checked when wanting to do it), is this feature being considered or added or is too low priority at the moment?
If not, can you suggest a temporary alternative (I only need to customize it in one form at the moment), and am happy to even apply a hard coded solution on this basis.
Comment #9quicksketch CreditAttribution: quicksketch commented
I'm still all-for adding labels in the pagebreak component, however, I don't have time to work on this. If patches can be made for both Drupal 5 and 6 versions, I'd be happy to add the functionality.
Comment #10jorisx CreditAttribution: jorisx commented
Is this patch still working for the latest webform release 6.x-2.3?
I need to change the next en prev. button names on a site, what's the best way to fix this ?
or should I use Multiform? but that's not released for 6 yet ...
Comment #11jazzitup CreditAttribution: jazzitup commented
Don't use this patch. Try to use jQuery within a markup to do that.
If you want images instead of standard buttons, you could write your text on an image and use CSS only!
Comment #12tim.plunkett CreditAttribution: tim.plunkett commented
|» 6.x-2.x-dev
Any progress on this?
After Drupalcon, of course. Just bringing it back into the light.
Comment #13miro_dietiker CreditAttribution: miro_dietiker commented
BTW We've used the localization to translate and thus change the button text globally. (OK, that's no per-webform setting... but still more custom.)
You even can do this for english by translating the drupal system into a custom english language set. We always do that to customize default text.
So what we best need is e.g. a option to the separators to rename the text button... Page by page... But this would be needed to be added to both PREV and NEXT buttons depending on what's next or prev. Would this be more what you like?

I have coded up a quick patch that will add two fields to the pagebreak component allowing the user to define the text for a Next and Prev buttons. The pagebreak is not a visual element but it is associated with the page that follows it. Since a form will always have one less pagebreak than it will have pages, for any given pagebreak the "next" button actually shows on the page before and the "prev" button shows on the page after.
I welcome your thoughts on my approach, wording, etc.
Comment #16Nitebreed CreditAttribution: Nitebreed commented

Can someone write this patch to work with the drupal 7 version? I applied the code change but keep getting undefined offset notices.
Comment #18eromba CreditAttribution: eromba commented
I could not get the patch in #16 to apply on the 6.x-3.17 release. When I applied it manually, I ended up with a warning: "array_merge(): Argument #1 is not an array" in includes/webform.components.inc.
I've attached a patch that applies against the 6.x-3.x branch and fixes the above issue.
Comment #19quicksketch CreditAttribution: quicksketch commented
This is a truly great patch. Thanks eromba, jack.r.abbit, and (long, long ago) marcingy for the work! I can't believe this issue is over 4 years old. Committed to both 3.x branches with a few updates:
- Used "_label" instead of "_value" in variable names.
- Fixed strings to use proper
< and
>, preventing HTML rendering problems.
- Fixed the array_merge() error with a slightly different approach.
Thanks all.
Comment #20quicksketch CreditAttribution: quicksketch commented
Actually one more fix before committing. The t() around
t($component['extra']['next_page_label']) had to go. We now can provide translation through http://drupal.org/project/webform_localization.

Take a mind-blowing tour of historic, cultural and modern Japan
Ever-welcoming and always fascinating, Japan is a land of ancient cultures, austere traditions and groundbreaking technology. Experience the best that this diverse country has to offer from the excitement of lively Tokyo to the sacred resting places of shoguns at Nikko. Feast on local delights at a Takayama market, make a sobering visit to the Hiroshima Peace Park and explore magnificent Kyoto temples. Discover ancient castles, lush countryside and fascinating feudal history on this authentic travel adventure. If you pack a good sense of humour and leave all inhibitions behind, the Land of the Rising Sun rarely disappoints.
What better way to see Japan than by the country's famous railway system? It's clean, efficient and we include a 14-day Japan Rail Pass in the trip price
This trip affords you a good balance of included activities and free time, with plenty of optional activities to keep you busy and a helpful leader to steer you in the right direction
Much of the accommodation is in traditional Japanese ryokans. Sleep on the floor on a tatami mat, keep warm beside an irori hearth and bath in an onsen or shared bathroom facilities.
This 14-day adventure zips you through the highlights of Japan, so you'll get a comprehensive introduction to this amazing country
A good degree of fitness is recommended for this trip as there is a lot of walking involved (up to 10 kilometres each day), particularly around Kyoto which is best seen on foot. Bring comfortable walking shoes and be prepared to spend most of the day on your feet.
We are not able to offer a Single Supplement on this trip due to limited rooms at many of our properties and high demand for accommodation in Japan.
While we aim to book as many nights at small, family run ryokans and guesthouses, the recent huge increase in tourism to Japan has put a lot of pressure on accommodation. On occasion, we may need to change accommodation to other hotels in order to be able to continue to operate your departure without itinerary changes.
Some of our accommodation includes shared bathing facilities with set times for men and women. Some properties may also have a curfew by which all guests must have returned for the night (usually around midnight).
We recommend packing light and smart for this trip as you'll be required to carry your own luggage between train stations and to hotels, which can include going up and down multiple flights of stairs in crowded areas.
As there are few activities included, you will have plenty of options offered by your leader for you to choose from. Public transport to get to various sites is easy and cheap, but do take the cost of transport into account when planning your budget for activities. This is a great trip for those who appreciate a bit of independence and want to customise their journey to their own interests.
We like to encourage travellers to indulge in traditional Japanese 'onsens' while in the country as it is a quintessential local experience. This means bathing naked in the presence of others of the same gender. While the experience can feel strange at first, most of our groups end up enjoying this activity. If you feel uncomfortable with bathing naked, please feel free to skip taking part.
Decorative tattoos are uncommon in Japanese culture and therefore you may receive curious and sometimes disapproving looks from locals. Generally, nobody will make a comment about your tattoos but please endeavour to wear modest clothing and be aware that you may not be able to enter public onsens.
Trip search is unavailable.
There are currently no scheduled departures on our Land of the Rising Sun trip. If you are interested in other trips in the region visit one of the links below.
1. A 14 day Japan Rail Pass is included in the price of your trip (validated on Day 2). For those wishing to stay and travel longer in Japan, an Japan Rail Pass Extension (total 21 days) is available.
2. A Single Supplement is currently not available for this trip due to limited rooms at many of our properties.
Our Land of the Rising Sun trips score an average of 4.73 out of 5 based on 165 reviews in the last year.
Highlights of the organisation of the tour were staying in ryokans, using public transport, and eating out at a variety of local restaurants and trying specialties of each area. We enjoyed the variety of scenery and activities and visiting smaller towns as well as classic Japanese tourist destinations.
Review submitted 10 Jul 2017

What would you like to do?
Can you be on Social Security Disability and still get your retirement?
What is social security and disability claims?
for those who are unable to work due to health
Does your employer still withhold Social Security if you are retired and collecting Social Security?
Yes. If you work after retirement, you will still have contributions to Social Security and Medicare (FICA) withheld from your paycheck at the same rate as before retirement.
Can you receive Social Security disability benefits and Social Security retirement benefits at the same time?
No. You can only receive Social Security disability benefits if you are below full retirement age and meet SSA disability severity guidelines. Once you reach retirement age (6…5 for people born before 1943; 66 for those born in 1943-1954; gradually increasing to 67 for those born in 1960 and later), your disability benefits automatically convert to retirement benefits at the same base rate.
If you draw disability Social Security at the age of 58 when will you draw Social Security retirement benefits?
Social Security Disability (SSDI) benefits automatically convert to retirement benefits at the same rate of pay when the person reaches full retirement age. There is no increa…se in benefits or additional payment at retirement, only a change in administrative status and loss of earned-income restrictions. For people born before 1943, full retirement age is 65; for those born between 1943 and 1954, the age is 66; for those born between 1955 and 1960 and later, the age gradually increases to 67.
Can you receive Social Security benefits when you retire if you already receive veteran disability benefits?
Yes, if you have the right number of quarters in and are at least 65 or blind or disables.
Is scoliosis a disability for social security?
Yes, if it is severe enough. Look at the listing of impairments on the social security website
How can you reinstate your social security disability?
If an individual goes off of Social Security Disability for a lengthy amount of time, a new Initial Claim would need to be filed in order to ask for the benefits again.
Can you still receive your Social Security Disability if you move to Canada?
Yes. You can receive Social Security benefits while living in most foreign countries, and Canada is one of them.
If I retire at age 62 and collect Social Security can I still earn money?
Yes. If you retire at age 62, you can earn $1,180 per month ($14,160 per year) in wages and an unlimited amount of income from passive sources, like 401k, annuities, dividends…, non-government pensions, etc. The most you can earn in any year prior to reaching full retirement age (most likely 66) is $14,160. If you exceed the limit, the SSA will temporarily reduce your future benefits by $1.00 for every $2.00 earned over the cap. Social Security will withhold your benefit check beginning in January of the following year until the entire overage has been offset.
How does social security retirement get its funding?
Legal businesses who employ individuals for work in exchange for money in the USA have a tax ID number that is unique and attached to all finances which is on file by the Inte…rnal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Federal Treasury Department (also known as FMS, Financial Management Services). To be a legal and legitimate employee, an individual employee must have a Social Security Number that is unique and attached to their personal full name, date of birth, city and state of birth and mother's maiden name and is kept on a Master Beneficiary Number file through their lifetime for earnings, taxes, identification, and other references. From each pay check earned for services, work, compensation or tips that an individual receives from their employer it includes a taxation from their gross earning that is set aside into an account for Social Security and Medicare. It is strictly money that comes from the EMPLOYEE only. The taxed funds do not include money from any other source: not the employer, the county, or state. It is from the worker's earned income only. It is not the same as Workers Compensation Fund. A person may have one employer his entire working career or he may have several, dozens, hundreds of different employers until he retires or becomes disabled and unable to do any gainful work. The uniquely identifiable Social Security Number assigned to you, the employee, follows your earning history and the special taxable amounts set aside into the Social Security and Medicare funds are always accruing and kept up to date. Therefore, when you retire from your profession, trade, skilled labor, etc., you notify Social Security Administration and begin to receive back all the moneys you paid into that fund which the Federal government taxed out of your paychecks in monthly benefit checks. So you receive a monthly check, a pension, regularly, from money which YOU EARNED AND SAVED for retirement or should a serious disability arise that forces you to stop working and begin receiving those funds. The funding in Social Security Administration to beneficiaries comes from THEIR paid work. It is not generated by the government itself nor public taxes: the social security administration check I received this month is actually money I saved while I was younger and able to work at my job. This is not to be confused with Social Security Insurance, known as 'SSI'. Social Security INSURANCE recipients receive a monthly stipend that is funded by state and county public taxes. Therefore, a small child can be a recipient of SSI, or a young blind person, or anyone who is ultimately unable to fend for themselves financially and would otherwise be unfed, without a home or the ability to pay for medication and living expenses necessary for survival. Due to our society's economic structure, this social insurance is funded by public taxes and is necessary for the health, safety and welfare of the general public. Without it, those who are unable to have adequate jobs and medical benefits for illness, medicine, hospitalization, childbirth, etc. would be at a total disadvantage, mainly through no fault of their own for whatever reason exists, to survive and would basically resort to desperate crimes to be able to eat, have shelter and live with the rest of the society. However, the beneficiaries of Social Security Administration Retirement are people who are receiving money they earned themselves and are classified different ways. Some are early retirement people, who became disabled and paid enough into their funds to collect it sooner; some are veterans who are retirement age or were injured while serving in the military forces; some are retired that worked for the railroad industry their whole working career, which is a major contributor and factor in our country's economic success. Others are spouses who did not work outside of the home but contributed by raising children and making sure they were educated and fed in a safe home so they could go on and become independent, self sufficient members in society and therefore are entitled to receive a retirement pension of their own from the husband or wife's working fund, because the Federal government and society recognizes that to be the same as being employed full time, even more so. We hope you have a better understanding and answer about how or where the funds come from regarding Social Security Administration's Retirement. It is a good question that many people think about often but is often overlooked when talked about or read in books and newspapers.
My husband draws disability from social security when i retire how much will i get from his?
ZERO your husbands disability income has to do with his inability to work and has nothing to do with you in life or death.
Can you be self employed and still collect Social Security Disability?
Yes, so long as you earn less than $1,010 a month, after deducting "work expenses" related to your disability. There is no limit for the first nine months.
Is social security disability taxed?
Potentially, yes-it depends on your income level. The amount taxed could be very low. In general, up to 50 percent of your SSDI benefits may be taxed, which is determined by a…dding up one-half of your SSDI benefits plus all of your other income sources. For the 2012 tax year, taxes are owed on any amount above a base level of $32,000 for couples filing jointly and $25,000 for individuals. Additionally, SSA benefits can be taxed up to 85 percent if the total of one-half of your benefits and all your other income for the tax year is more than $34,000 if filing single or $44,000 if you are married filing jointly; or if you are married, filing separately and lived with your spouse at any time during the tax year.
How is Social Security Disability taxed?
Social security disability and social security benefits are the same thing and would be subject to income on your correctly completed 1040 income tax return When you have othe…r sources of world wide income. Generally, if Social Security benefits were your only income, your SSB benefits are not taxable and you probably do not need to file a federal income tax return. If you have any other sources of worldwide income and (tax exempt interest and exempt dividends) then it is possible for some of your SSB to become taxable income on your income tax return and then you would be required to file an income tax return.
In Federal Laws
Is social security disability taxable?
it depends, there are some regions or countries that allow tax on your SSN, and some are don't include or don't get tax on it.... See below link: http://official-online-ss…n-card.org/
How much money can you make and still qualify for Social Security Disability benefits?
In 2010, People on disability can earn up to $1,000 per month ($12,000 per year) for most disabilities, or $1,640 per month ($19,680 per year) if legally blind. Earning more t…han these limits would be considered engaging in Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA), would trigger a continuing disability review, and likely result in termination of the person's disability status with Social Security. If you decide to return to work, the SSA allows nine non-consecutive months where earned income is unlimited; however, any month a disabled person earns more than $720.00 is counted toward the nine-month trial work period. Social Security disability benefits may be temporarily reduced if the person is also receiving Worker's Compensation or other public disability payments. The total amount of all sources of government disability income, including SSDI, cannot exceed 80% of the worker's average current earnings at the time of disability. SSDI benefits are based on the amount of money a worker paid in FICA (insurance) taxes during his or her working years, and is not means-tested. The Social Security Administration only cares about earned income as a measure of work performance. There is no limit on passive income a disabled person can receive from other sources, such as pension, annuities, capital gains, dividends, gifts, etc. There is also no limit to the amount of income other family or household members may earn. None of this money affects your SSDI disability benefits. Different rules apply for people who are on SSI (Supplemental Security Income, a form of welfare for the disabled) or a combination of SSDI and SSI, which is means-tested. Only the SSI portion of the person's income may change; the SSDI payments are affected exactly as detailed above.
Can you still receive social security disability if you move overseas?
In most cases, people will not be able to receive social security disability if they move overseas. However, each case is different and there is no way to know until the S…ocial Security Administration makes a decision.

What's God got to do with it? Keeping the faith in times of suffering
This Jesuit had to confront what he believed about God and suffering when his sister became a quadriplegic. But the letters of comfort were what really threw him for a loop.
At dawn on his birthday, October 24, 1988, Father Richard Leonard's phone rang. It was his mother, telling him that his sister Tracey had been in a terrible car accident. Her neck broken and her spine crushed, Tracey became a quadriplegic at age 28.
O come let us get ready
In the pre-Christmas rush, take time for Advent.
Jamie and Carol and their four children, ages 9 to 15, try to avoid looking at any Christmas decorations before Advent begins. It's a playful practice with a deeper meaning.
"We love to shop, and our favorite store hangs up their Christmas decorations in September," Carol says. "We actually turn our heads, hold up our hands to shield our eyes, and say, 'Don't look! It's not even Advent yet.' "

Those Before/After Fitness Pictures Are A Big, Fat Lie
You might have already expected as much, but those before/after picture for the supplements that claim to help you drop 30 pounds in 30 days or give you an overnight six-pack or whatever insane thing they say they'll do are all a bunch of hogwash. Aussie personal trainer and fitness blogger MelVFitness demonstrated how those pictures are nothing but an optical illusion by doing her own photo transformation in 15 minutes.
"Check out my transformation! It took me 15 minutes. Wanna know my secret? Well firstly I ditched the phonewallet (fwallet) cause that shit is lame, swapped my bather bottoms to black (cause they're a size bigger & black is slimming), Smothered on some fake tan, clipped in my hair extensions, stood up a bit taller, sucked in my guts, popped my hip — threw in a skinny arm, stood a bit wider #boxgap, pulled my shoulders back and added a bit of a cheeky/Im so proud of my results smile. Zoomed in on the before pic- zoomed out on the after & added a filter. Cause filters make everything awesome. What's my point? Don't be deceived by what you see in magazines & on Instagram.. You never see the dozens of other pics they took that weren't as flattering. Photoshop can make a pig look hotter then Beyonce."
Mel goes on to share her story about her real-life fitness transformation (pictured above), which took place over a three year period. In the first photo Mel reveals that she had just returned from an exchange program in America where she had "THE GREATEST TIME OF HER LIFE!" because she was eating, drinking and being merry. In the second photo, she was a fitness trainer "on a strict diet plan" who was totally obsessed with her progress and training "like a dog" for a six-pack to the point of total social isolation. "Yeah I looked good on the outside- but I was a mess on the inside. I was tired, moody, I'd tainted good friendships and I actually really hated the person I had become," she admits. Mel goes on to "drop a truth bomb" about why it's so important not to be seduced by the illusion of transformation photos:
"What a before and after shot doesn't tell you how the person achieved it. It doesn't tell you if they did it a healthy way or if they starved themselves for weeks on end to get there. It also doesn't show you the persons mental state, their self worth, how the hours of exercise they did, the lifestyle change, the early mornings, the skipped lunches, how they handled social situations or how many skinny mini teas they chugged … Oh and transformation shots are great, but let it be clear — that being thinner doesn't always mean you'll be happier, transformations take time, and good lighting can make Buddah have a 6 pack."
Amen to that! With some help, Mel has gotten healthier and even though she says her jeans are tighter, she's back to her "bubbly, self confident, smart ass" self. Her advice to anyone trying to get more fit is "make small changes" and be "patient and consistent." I applaud any woman — especially one in the fitness industry — who is willing to talk openly and honestly about what goes into making over your body. [MelVFitness via Gawker]

Physics: "Putting The Weirdness To Work"
The world of the quantum stretches the limits of human imagination. Who could ever believe, for instance, that atoms -- the building blocks of our seemingly solid landscape -- are able to exist in different places at one time? That they can be "entangled" together such that an action on one atom or particle will affect another across considerable distances? Or that they are irrevocably altered simply by the act of being observed?
Yet that is what quantum laws tell us. Einstein himself was famously troubled by the implication that reality was actually just a collection of probabilities, where God not only played dice with the universe but also hid the dice. "To common sense, quantum mechanics is nonsensical," says Nobel prize-winning physicist William D. Phillips of the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST).
Nevertheless, developing quantum theory was "the crowning intellectual achievement of the last century," says California Institute of Technology physicist John Preskill. It's the underlying principle for many of today's devices, from lasers to magnetic resonance imaging machines. And these may prove to be just the low-hanging fruit. Many scientists foresee revolutionary technologies based on the truly strange properties of the quantum world.
For instance, there's a state of matter that scientists created less than a decade ago called the Bose-Einstein condensate, in which each of many millions of atoms act identically and are everywhere in the sample at once. Dozens of research groups around the world are experimenting with these condensates, whose properties portend a future we can barely glimpse. "Physicists relish the weirdness, but now we're starting to ask if we can put the weirdness to work," says Preskill.
Some of the theoretical possibilities boggle the mind. For example: the elusive but intensely desired quantum computer. The mathematical challenge of factoring a 400-digit number -- which would take 10 billion years on today's supercomputers -- might be cracked by a quantum computer in 30 seconds. While there are a number of approaches to building such a device, recent experiments with the Bose-Einstein condensates are opening up clever new paths.
Quantum weirdness also enables communications to be sent in unbreakable code. New companies, such as New York City's MagiQ Technologies and id Quantique of Geneva, are already turning these ideas into commercial products. At the same time, the exploration of quantum domains may shed more light on abiding scientific mysteries, such as how some substances conduct electricity with zero resistance -- a phenomenon called superconductivity. That could lead to the transmission of electricity across great distances with no loss. And a forthcoming paper from IBM researchers will show how quantum phenomena can be exploited to see molecules more clearly.
These uses may just scratch the surface of the possible. No one has ever been able to foresee transformations wrought by any revolutionary science. And the quantum world is no different. "We have not yet begun to figure out what the applications are," says NIST physicist Carl J. Williams. "But the risk is underestimating the impact."
Quantum computers and most other applications are decades away, if indeed they can be built at all. Still, the enormous potential has led to programs at companies like IBM (IBM ) and Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ ). The Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is now beginning a major effort to construct a working quantum information processor. In all these efforts, "the goal is the control of quantum matter," says Immanuel Bloch of the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz. "It's a great challenge, but there are great rewards."
For a glimpse of this endeavor, drop by the lab of William Phillips and his team in Gaithersburg, Md. Sprawling over a giant lab bench is a maze of precision mirrors and lasers, all converging on a small glass vacuum chamber where the quantum world is being probed. Phillips won his Nobel in 1997 for a technique known as laser cooling, in which beams are used to slow atoms down. That chills the atoms until they are a fraction of a degree above absolute zero. Now, using rubidium atoms, Phillips is making them even colder by letting the warmer ones "evaporate."
PEAKS AND TROUGHS. Inside the glass chamber, he is creating the fragile Bose-Einstein condensate. The clump of atoms can be huge -- big enough to be visible to the naked eye. At that scale, you would expect the stolid laws of Newtonian physics to rule. Instead, the atoms obey the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which specifies that an electron or atom can't be pinned down to any one location. Even though the clump is a tenth of a millimeter across and contains a million atoms, "every atom is everywhere -- that's what makes it so wonderful," says Williams.
This strange state of matter was predicted by Einstein, building on work by Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose, back in 1924. It was first created by Phillips' NIST colleague, Eric A. Cornell, and Carl E. Wieman of the University of Colorado, in 1995 -- a Nobel prize-winning achievement. Now, an estimated 50 groups around the world are experimenting with the strange stuff. "It can do some amazing things," says Phillips.
One of the most intriguing -- and potentially useful -- maneuvers in Phillips' lab involves putting the atoms into neat little rows. The trick is using precisely tuned laser light. Imagine dropping pebbles into a pond, sending waves across the water. Then drop pebbles at the opposite shore, dispatching waves in the other direction. Where the two groups of waves meet, they create so-called standing waves -- an unchanging collection of peaks and troughs, like a row of sand dunes in the desert.
Laser light is also a wave. So two intersecting beams similarly create peaks and valleys. Scientists call this an optical lattice. And when Phillips and other researchers shine intersecting laser beams though the Bose-Einstein clump of atoms, individual atoms almost magically go from being everywhere at once to nestling in the valleys. "It's a great gift of nature," says Phillips. "We've been lucky that things worked better than expected."
To information scientists, such a neat arrangement of atoms looks startlingly like the basis for a computer. It can be arranged that each atom is in one of two energy levels, separated by a small quantum jump. Thus, each atom could represent a 0 or a 1, like the bits in a regular computer.
But these are no ordinary bits. Because of quantum weirdness, an atom can be a 0 and a 1 at the same time. What's more, the different quantum bits, or "qubits," can be entangled with each other, even if there is no actual connection. "Because of the mystery of entanglement, the state of one atom will be dependent on the state of the other," explains Williams. "It's a much stronger relationship than marriage." As a result, for some calculations, the power of a quantum machine grows exponentially with the number of qubits -- twice the bits gives you four times the power. A 300-qubit machine could store more combinations than there are atoms in the entire universe, says Williams.
CLEVER ALTERNATIVES. Without doubt, there's a long, long path to building such a machine, and today's researchers have only begun the journey. Phillips and his team are now working on the next small step. They're trying to figure out how to get information to and from the individual qubits, by flipping the atoms from one state to the other with laser beams.
Meanwhile, other labs are pursuing clever alternatives. At the University of Mainz, Bloch is also putting Bose-Einstein condensate atoms into the valleys of an optical lattice. His special twist is creating two simultaneous lattices with two different "colors" of laser beams. He also puts his atoms in two states at the same time. Then he can move one of the landscapes so that the atom particles interact in new ways. "We can entangle hundreds of thousands of atoms and measure the state of each particle," he says. "It is a completely new way of thinking about a quantum computer."
Another tack is to use ions trapped in a magnetic field as qubits, instead of atoms in the optical lattice. Out in NIST's Boulder (Colo.) labs, David J. Wineland has built working logic gates -- a building block of computers -- using such ions. And many other groups are experimenting with tiny bits of semiconductor material, dubbed quantum dots.
The ultimate payoff, however, is expected to go far beyond computing. Since the very act of observing quantum information changes it, communications that are encrypted with quantum "keys" could be sent safely across a network. The reason: Any attempt by spies to intercept the key would immediately be obvious, so users could switch to a different one.
As exciting as these applications are, researchers are also thrilled by the basic science. Earlier this year, NIST physicist Deborah S. Jin created a state of matter called a fermionic condensate that is even rarer than the closely related Bose-Einstein materials. She managed to put atoms that don't normally like being next to each other into the same low-energy state. Her work could lead to a better understanding of superconductivity, which depends on similar pairs of quantum particles.
Scientists are often surprised by what they encounter. Not long ago, Phillips was experimenting with faint laser beams, which unexpectedly impeded the movements of atoms. "We don't know if this is interesting new physics or some stupid mistake," he says. "In learning about quantum computing, we're at the forefront of fundamen- tal physics." That's how science and technology sometimes advance -- one small quantum step at a time.

Over the past decade, two monitoring sites in the Chesapeake Bay watershed have shown improving flow-adjusted trends in phosphorus concentrations. Between 2005 and 2014:
For more information, visit the U.S. Geological Survey's Summary of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Suspended-Sediment Loads and Trends Measured at the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network Stations: Water Year 2014 Update.
Excess phosphorus is among the leading causes of the Chesapeake Bay's poor health. But phosphorus concentrations are highly variable, depending on the amount of water flowing in streams and rivers across the watershed. For this reason, scientists calculate flow-adjusted concentration trends to determine whether phosphorus concentrations have changed over time. By examining data that is presented independently of the effects of variations in stream flow, resource managers can better evaluate the changes in stream health that have and could continue to result from pollution-reducing practices or other activities in the watershed.
In 2014, the Chesapeake Bay Program adopted a goal to reduce pollution and achieve the water quality necessary to protect human health and support the region's underwater resources. Resource managers hope to observe downward trends in flow-adjusted phosphorus concentrations at monitoring sites across the watershed.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) works with Chesapeake Bay Program partners to monitor nutrients and sediment in the watershed. Data are collected, updated and interpreted each year. The update for water year 2014 (which took place between Oct. 1, 2013, and Sept. 30, 2014) includes data from nine River Input Monitoring (RIM) stations. Together, these stations—which are located on the Appomattox, Choptank, James, Mattaponi, Pamunkey, Patuxent, Potomac, Rappahannock and Susquehanna rivers—reflect loads delivered to the Bay from 78 percent of its watershed.
Because one goal of our restoration work is to reduce nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment loads to the Bay, downward trends in nutrient and sediment concentrations are considered improving conditions. Increasing trends are considered degrading conditions. Findings for trends in nutrient and sediment concentrations across the watershed through 2014 include:

Wow! 50 Cent Leaves Interscope
Photo Credit: Getty Images
50 Cent has officially left Interscope Records, the label that helped launch him into superstardom. Since his last album, Before I Self Destruct, 50 and Interscope have not seen eye to eye on a lot of the aspects concerning his next album, Animal Ambition. 50 has signed a worldwide distribution deal with Caroline/Capitol/UMG and will release his next album on June 3rd. By leaving Interscope, 50 will also be leaving long-time friend Eminem and Shady Records. In a statement, Eminem had this to say about 50, "Shady simply would not be what it is without 50 Cent. I've developed a great friendship with 50 over the years, and that's not going to change."

Rully Les Saint-Jacques 2001
Our vineyard in the "Les saint-Jacques" parcel is located at the foot of an east-facing slope, just below the Clos Saint-Jacques- one of the Rully's most famous premiers crus. Planted in 1990, this vineyard is the legacy of an old Côte d'Or vineyard-it is made up of moderate-yield Chardonnay selections. The charm of our Rully Les saint-Jacques lies in its finesse nd subtlety of aroma rather than its power. It is best drunk chilled, between 54°F and 57°F, after two to six years of aging. Serve it with fish or white meat, again avoiding overly spicy sauces or seasonning, or with mild goat cheeses.
Upon being gathered and sorted by hand, the grapes go immediately into a pneumatic press. Pressing is slow and gentle in order to obtain claer, non-astringent juice.The musts ferment in tanks or oak tuns at controlled temperatures in order to preserve each wine's freshness and specific aromatic traits.
Suave and elegant notes in nose. In mouth, still on the reserve, a little timid. Wait to drink 1 or 2 years.

Time To Get Into Shape
I've been battling back and forth about how to best get into better shape. I'm not a fat man, as my frame could easily carry my 250 lb heft, if it were all muscle. But with my current muscle tone, I should probably be in the 220-lb range. So I know I need to do something, and I'm not 100% sure what the best route may be.
I've been considering getting back into martial arts (which I did for about 6 years before college). That will help both strength and flexibility, as well as balance. Plus, I know my technique has dropped off in the 10 years since I studied, and it's always good just for a personal safety aspect to keep sharp. But I haven't really found a dojo around here that I really like, and since my wife is currently between jobs, the $100+ per month isn't feasible. I've considered joining a gym, but I'm not very good at willpower. I can see myself going regularly for about a month, and then dropping off. Plus, so much of what I would do at the gym doesn't appeal to me, because when I do cardio, I want an actual destination.
But I think I've found it. I can couple my desire to get into shape, my light budget, and my love of beer into the perfect exercise: Hashing!
At one of our fine hashes, which generally meet each Saturday at 1:30PM, you can expect to find a somewhat challenging cross-country trail, which will be marked in biodegradable flour – you know, the stuff Grandma uses to make cookies. You follow this fine trail through all sorts of slop, muck and prickly-briar-filled bushes for four to five miles until you get to the end.
Why, you might ask, would anyone do this?
Simple Answer – BEER. The Complicated Answer – More beer! (We like beer, the people who make beer, and the people who like to drink beer.)
Yep. Hang out with fellow nuts like me, get some exercise, make new friends, and then drink beer. How can I go wrong?
UPDATE: YouTube Rules…

I joined the Y and do yoga three times a week. Seriously.
Do they give you beer?
I get my exercise by walking to the neighborhood bar and crawling back home. I do this five times a week and I've never felt better. Consistency is important. I've been following this regimen for years and it seems to keep me in tip-top drinking condition. Good luck on your exercise program, Brad.
Brad, I suspect that some of that extra weight might be in the form of a beer gut. Beer does have a lot of calories in it. I'll bet that if you slacked off on some of that beer that you might loose some of that extra weight. I know that you didn't want Mama Stern talking about that, but what's a mama to do. Good luck taking off that weight.
I like to walk at the park. They have marked trails and I enjoy watching the squirrels chasing each other as I walk. When I walk, I keep my weight off.
I fully support the hash. I've hashed myself before I took up serious running and its still great fun to do – and the people are the best. Doesn't seem to matter what city you're in, hashers are cool.
