Forget what you think you know about your favorite ice cream flavor because we made a better one. All beer purchases are now made with the underlying thought of if they could be made into an ice cream flavor.
Every time I mentioned to people that we would be making beer ice cream, they look horrified.
"You mean you're pouring a beer and putting ice cream in it? That sounds gross."
(On a side note, thats a beer float which does exist for people that are too lazy to make actually beer ice cream and is essentially the adult alternative of a rootbeer float for people that have vices that include desserts and alcohol).
Apparently, my friends are mentally slow (and hopefully don't read the blog). "Why on earth would we do that?" I asked. "And why would I be making a big deal about it?"
In fact, Lisa and I were NOT planning on pouring beer on our ice cream and calling it a day. We were planning on making ice cream from scratch. So we recruited a friend with an ice cream maker and got to work looking for a recipes.
This proved harder than we expected, as there were very few to choose from, and they all seemed complicated or weird. Finally, we found a fairly simple one on AllRecipes.com and then we of course didn't actually follow it and guessed on all the measurements.
We chose a Breckenridge Vanilla Porter and Young's Double Chocolate Stout for our two attempts.
(These were second choice as we actually wanted the TundraBeary from Tommy Knockers for out beer ice cream but its apparently been discontinued from every beer shelf in the state. Seriously, if you buy us this beer from the brewery we'll probably give you a personal boob picture or at least let you have one of them, beer that it. –Lisa)
The first thing we did was pour the cream into a pot and heat it until it started to boil slightly, without burning it to the bottom.
(Men wouldn't have any idea what its like to clean the bottom of a pan that's been burned so if you end up doing this leave it in the sink for your girlfriend to take care of! –Lisa)
Next, Lisa added the sugar, and stirred as slowly as possible, until we yelled at her to pick it up a little.
Next, you're supposed to add whatever other flavoring you have, like chocolate chips, or , in our case, nothing but beer.
(I actually look horrified because I'm the only one that saw the hair in the cream which made a fun game later of "Who got the hair?" in their beer ice cream -Lisa).
After you mix all of the ingredients, you should be left with something resembling warm, creamy chocolate milk.
Then, you put the mix into the freezer until it cools.
*Note, all of this goes MUCH more smoothly if you convince someone to do most of it for you. To make this happen, seem relatively useless, or screw things up. Acceptable lines include "Wait, can you show me that again?" "THIS IS TOO HEAVY" "Pleeeaaassse will you just do it? or "If you do this for us we'll show you our boobs""
Then, you wait for like 45 minutes for the ice cream to harden or solidfy or whatever you want to call it, but in all honesty who gets excited when things "soften".
And then you end up with this!
We were initally a little concerned about what it would taste like, and I added sparkle sprinkles to distract from it, in case it was disgusting. It turns out it was unnecessary, because it was AMAZING.
We decided to call it Disco Beer Ice Cream, and John made an offhand comment about how John Travolta would enjoy it. After blank stares from Lisa and I, he feebly attempted to make a connection to Saturday Night Fever. This however backfired and led to a 15 minute tangent about how the ice creams were going to Face-Off and that we hoped it created a Phenomenon.
Then we realized those were the only two Travolta movies we could name offhand, and looked awkward as we struggled to name any others.
Now, for the beer ice creams
Vanilla Porter Ice Cream- This one had a frostier consistancy. The flavors of the porter were prominently on display, and there wasn't much else there. It has a rich vanilla flavor, and the aftertaste from the ice cream is quite pleasant.

Chocolate Stout Ice Cream– There was somehow was twice as much of this, and it had a creamier and thicker composition. The flavors seemed to blend a little better, although both Lisa and John agreed that it tasted more like beer than the Porter ice cream.

DISCO BEER ICE CREAM (aka John Travolta Ice Cream)
*Note*only one beer is actually used in the ice cream, the others are for drinking during prep
- Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium-low heat until it begins to bubble. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate and sugar until melted. Slowly stir in the stout beer. Cover and refrigerate until completely cooled.
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions until it reaches "soft-serve" consistency. Transfer ice cream to a two-quart lidded plastic container; cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. For best results, ice cream should ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight.

For the Beet Chips: Preheat the oven to 150 degrees F (or to warm). Line 1 baking sheet with paper towels and 2 more pans with silpats or parchment paper.
Trim the end of the beets. Peel the beets, keeping their round shape to make round chips. Slice into paper thin rounds using a knife or mandoline, adjusting the setting if necessary.
In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, 1 cup water, and the sugar and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the beets and boil for 1 to 2 minutes to soften slightly and flavor them. Remove from the heat and let the beets stand in the liquid for 5 to 10 minutes, to cool slightly. (The beets can be prepared to this point refrigerated for up to a week in the liquid, before baking.)
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beets to the towel-lined pan to drain. Lay the beet slices out on the silpat lined baking sheets. The slices can be close to each other, but they should not touch.
Place in the warmed oven to dry for 10 to 12 hours, or until crisp and dry.
Remove the chips from the oven and, using a small offset spatula, transfer them to a cooling rack. Once cooled, the chips can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
For the Duck: Turn the duck breast skin side down. With a sharp knife, make a cut down the length of the center bone, just to break it. Smack the blade across the bones just to break them slightly; do not cut through the meat. Cutting the bones and leaving the breast on them will prevent the meat from shrinking and curling as it cooks. Season the duck breast with salt, pepper, and sugar.
In a large saute pan, heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil over medium high heat. Reduce the heat to medium. Place the breast in the pan, skin side down, and cook slowly, adjusting the heat if necessary, for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown. When browned, remove the breast from the pan and place on a cutting board. Separate the breast meat from the bone. Chop the carcass into small pieces.
For the Sauce: Add the chopped bones to the oil remaining in the pan, increase the heat, and saute until the bones are richly browned. Add the shallots and saute for about 2 minutes, or until translucent. Add the garlic, diced beets, 1 teaspoon sugar, and the balsamic vinegar. Pour the red wine into the pan, and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom to remove all the browned bits. Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and strain.
Sprinkle the breasts with the cinnamon. Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat in a saute pan just big enough to hold the breast. Place the breasts skin side down in pan, place a small heavy pot on top of the breast to weigh it down, and cook for about 4 minutes to crisp the skin. Remove from the heat.
Just before serving, swirl the butter into the sauce.
Cut the duck breast in half. If serving 4 people, cut each breast half into 2 pieces. Place the duck on the serving plates; spoon the sauce to the side, garnish with a beat chip, and sprinkle the duck with fleur de sel and black pepper. Serve the remaining beet chips on the side, with beaucoup de LOVE.

I was recently abducted by a group of rebels in northern Syria. I was strip-searched and held, handcuffed and blindfolded, for six hours along with three Syrian men before we were let go. Our captors suspected me – an American journalist – of being a spy.
That is the price – and much worse – that any journalist working in Syria today must be prepared to pay. For Mousab, a Syrian rebel spokesman with whom I've worked regularly since June 2012, it was the second time he'd been abducted in five months. The first abduction was by a group of criminals, and Mousab escaped. In this case, we were released because Mousab and I are well known to other rebel groups in the area where we were abducted.
The group that abducted us, the Nusra Front – or Jabhat al Nusra in Arabic – has good reason to be suspicious of Americans. In December, the U.S. State Department declared it a front for al Qaida in Iraq and a wing of the Islamic State of Iraq, another al Qaida branch – a relationship that its members don't try to hide. One bluntly, and smilingly, told me last month: "Of course we're all al Qaida."
That relationship was formalized this week when the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq released a video announcing that the two groups would drop the pretense of being separate and operate under a single name, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. On Wednesday, the al Qaida connection was completed when the head of Nusra pledged allegiance to Ayman al Zawahiri, the man who replaced Osama bin Laden at the top of the terrorist group.
The chain of events comes at a time when the Saudi, Qatari, Turkish and Jordanian governments, with support from the U.S., have increased weapons shipments to the rebels. Those weapons have also reached Nusra, which also is getting a steady flow of non-Syrians across the Turkish border to fight. Turkey has made no steps to stop that traffic.
The U.S. government's designation of Nusra as a terrorist group backfired on the ground, increasing Syrian support for the group, which is also working quickly to provide people in areas affected by fighting with basic services. It recently scored a major victory on that front, taking over a hydroelectric dam near Raqqa, the capital of the province of the same name, making it the only place in Syria that has power 24 hours a day. Nusra also has seized oil installations, grain silos and other strategic infrastructure across northern and eastern Syria.
The terrorist designation "is a badge of honor," chuckled Abu Fera, a Nusra commander in Raqqa, which in March became the largest city in Syria to fall under rebel control after a battle fought in part by Nusra. "Even more people wanted to join us after that."
Abu Fera, who agreed to an interview using a pseudonym that means "Father of Fera," declined to use his real name because, he said with a laugh, he didn't "want to be on the sanctions list."
I had been preparing myself for years to be kidnapped, and though it was unpleasant, it went much better than I had expected. Which begs the question: How do we define al Qaida? And how have its tactics changed in the last 10 years? Simply put, had I, a military-age American male, been captured by these people's Iraqi affiliates, I doubt I would have been released unharmed.
That said, it has been obvious for months that there is little difference between Nusra fighters and their Iraqi compatriots. They have carried out attacks that have killed a large number of civilians and are calling ever more loudly for religious law to be implemented. Many Syrians who support the rebellion now say they fear Nusra as much as the Syrian government they seek to depose. Others strongly support the group as better fighters and less prone to corruption than many of the scores of rebel groups that operate across the country.
After an hour or so of my detention, I was asked some simple questions by Abu Omar, an English-speaking member of the group: Who did I work for? Why had I come to Syria? He asked if had entered through border crossings from Turkey controlled by rebels or whether I had been granted a visa by the Syrian government. He wanted to know why I was interested in Jabhat al Nusra, and whether it was the only thing I had come to write about.
The abduction laid out the tensions between Syria's rebel groups, writ small. Abdul Jabbar and Radoun, the driver and armed guard who accompanied Mousab and me and were detained with us, are members of another rebel group, one whose members espouse a less strict interpretation of religion. Our captors, who preferred the title "mujahedeen" (holy warriors) to "thowar" (revolutionaries), made it clear that they had little respect for the group.
After our release, the men who'd abducted us took us to their commander's house for a meal and to have all our belongings returned. Abu Omar asked me whether I believe in God, and whether I thought Syrians had a right to an Islamic state. He suggested to Mousab that he read portions of the Quran that focus on separating oneself from bad influences, that is, from non-Muslims like me.
My glasses – they had been taken when I was blindfolded – and a satellite tracking device I was carrying were the only things that were not returned to us. Abu Omar apologized for the missing items, and I said something to the effect that it didn't really matter, I was genuinely relieved to be alive.
Abu Omar turned to me, appearing somewhat pleased.
"That is the difference," Abu Omar said. "We love death."
Since then, I have continued to work in Syria and have continued to engage Nusra without problems. The conversations have often been similar, and sometimes they ask me more questions than I ask them. They reveal a worldview in which the U.S. and other European nations are engaged in a war against Islam, Sunni Islam in particular.
"Why did George Bush use the word 'crusade' when the U.S. invaded Afghanistan?" I have been asked multiple times.
More recently, a request to tour the hydroelectric dam that Nusra has taken control of near Raqqa was turned down with a tinge of disbelief from a Nusra commander: "He's American? And Christian? No."
Nonetheless, he had lunch with us, repeating the notion that East and West were locked in an existential, religious struggle.
I asked if I would eventually have to convert if I wanted to continue to work in Syria.
"You're smart," was the reply.

The state of Vermont is forcing a potential crisis on the state's 12 nonprofit home health providers that is puzzling and suspect. At issue is a demand by John Crowley, commissioner of Vermont's Department of Banking, Insurance, Securities and Health Care Administration (BISHCA), for home health providers to prove they are serving 100 percent of the state market by July 9. If they can't, Crowley says he will break the current state-imposed monopoly and allow a private firm to complete for the Medicare and Medicaid patients they serve.
The puzzling aspect of the forced crisis is the timing. Why Crowley has set such a tight deadline is unknown and makes little sense. Vermont's home health care providers have operated under the current system for numerous years and have an outstanding record of serving a high percentage of Vermonters at a low per-capita cost. According to state figures for 2002, Vermont's 12 home health centers served 108 Medicare patients per 1,000 residents, compared to 86 per 1,000 in New England and 61 per 1,000 nationally. The average cost per visit was $76 in 2002, compared to $102 nationally. And, because the home health centers operate on a break-even basis, they require no taxpayer subsidy.
The rising cost of health care insurance is no longer an academic, or political, discussion. The crux of the issue is economic and the need for a resolution is immediate.
Health insurance costs soared by double-digit increases again this year, taking a typical family policy at the Addison Independent with MVP from roughly $9,800 per year to more than $11,000. If the employer splits the cost 50-50 (and more and more employers simply aren't offering the coverage) the cost is still a staggering $5,500 per employee; and the employee struggles to meet that $5,500 annual expense. As someone once said, "a thousand here, a thousand there, and pretty soon you're talking about real money.�
In Montpelier last week, the Douglas administration was trying to explain away an apparent flip-flop on an issue that one might think was close to the governor's heart: open meetings and access to public records. The governor, after all, was Secretary of State for a good number of years during which he ardently supported the rights of citizens and the press to gain easy access to government meetings and records. Â The right of the people to know the truth about government actions, as the governor and most Vermonters know, is one of the most fundamental principles of a free society.
It was odd, then, that at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on March 17, Assistant Attorney General Bill Reynolds spoke against access to public records on behalf of the governor. Specifically, Reynolds said the governor opposed a bill, S.45, that would hold government responsible for wrongly denying access to public records or public meetings. The bill would simply change the word "may" to "shall" in terms of who should pay legal costs when the court rules for the plaintiff.
In last Thursday's Addison Independent, we covered the naturalization ceremony in which 36 Vermont residents became American citizens. The ceremony was held at the Middlebury Union Middle School, and is one of about a dozen held throughout the state each year. Along with friends and family, more than 120 MUMS students observed the 40-minute ceremony — an event that was made all that much more meaningful by the thoughtful comments of U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Colleen A. Brown.
The oath of allegiance to their new country, Brown told the 36 Vermonters seeking nationalization, "requires you to 'absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty to which you were previously a subject or citizen.'�

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — As lost weekends go, this one was a doozy.
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — As lost weekends go, this one was a doozy.
The woman and her longtime boyfriend, regular Atlantic City gamblers, lost $100,000 in two days in early January. She lost her job, and they now owe $205,000 to five Atlantic City casinos, with no realistic prospects of paying it back.
She picked up the telephone and called her host, John Conklin, Resorts' vice president of player development, whose job it is to keep gamblers happy — and coming back.
"This is more than I can handle," she told him. "I'm in over my head. All of my real estate is underwater. I don't know what I'm going to do."
Conklin was concerned.
"She sounded desperate," he recalled. "I could hear it in her voice."
He gave her the phone number of Arnie Wexler, the former head of New Jersey's Council on Compulsive Gambling and himself a former gambling addict. Wexler helped get the woman and her boyfriend into a program for gambling addicts, promised to help her work out some sort of arrangement with the casinos, and just let her know she was not alone, that there are thousands like her.
Wexler travels the country giving training sessions to casino employees on how to spot potential compulsive gamblers and what to do if they encounter any.
The casino industry's efforts to spot problem gamblers and intervene with them range from intense, hands-on sessions like those Wexler gives, to much more passive efforts like having brochures about where to get help for a gambling addiction available on the casino floor, or handing out pens with the toll-free number of a help line printed on them.
While most casinos have adopted some form of responsible gambling policy, it can be a delicate balance in an industry whose very business model relies on gamblers risking and losing money. The casino industry has two main motivations in dealing with problem gamblers, said Alan Feldman, a vice president at MGM Resorts International, and chairman of the National Center for Responsible Gaming.
"There is a strong belief among many of the casino executives that there is a moral obligation to do this," he said. "But there's also a strong business reason: Problem gamblers make for lousy customers. By their very nature, they will turn into bad debt.
"For them to hit bottom, they have to cause a lot of pain along the way, to themselves, their families and to companies," he said. "It serves no purpose in any business to have customers who can't pay their bills."
The center developed a training program called Emerge, which has become the standard among casinos belonging to the American Gaming Association, the industry's main trade group.
Different casinos use it differently, but the aim is the same: to intervene when there is a problem, Feldman said.
Wexler's advice to the dealers, hosts and player reps at resorts was simple, and borrowed from the homeland security slogan: If you see something, say something.
"You're not clinicians, you're not counselors," he told the workers. "It's not your job to run over to a customer and say, 'Hey buddy, you've got a gambling problem.' But you can kick it upstairs to an officer in your casino and they can intervene and take care of it. Let a supervisor know about it."
There are a few signs dealers and other customer service workers can pick up on that may indicate a patron has a gambling problem, said Donald Weinbaum, the current executive director of New Jersey's compulsive gambling council.
"If you have a regular patron and you see them making larger, crazy wagers, it might be that they're trying to break even. It might be that they're caught up in an addiction. If you see a patron going through mood swings, that could be another indication. Talk to the patron. Maybe suggest a brief timeout. Give them the 1-800-GAMBLER number and let them know there's a place where they can get help."
Of course, that can sometimes require diplomacy worthy of a Washington ambassador. For an employee to suggest that a customer stop gambling, even briefly, requires supportive bosses.
"We feel like we have a moral obligation," said Aaron Gomes, executive vice president of operations at Resorts and the son of former co-owner Dennis Gomes, who died Friday. "We're in the business of entertaining customers. When it stops being entertaining, we want our workers to talk to them and see if there is a problem."
An estimated 2 million to 5 million Americans have some sort of gambling problem.
A 1999 study by the National Gambling Impact Study Commission estimated another 15 million are at risk for developing a gambling problem. There are 38 states with some form of casino gambling.
The scope of problem-gambling outreach varies widely across the country.
At least 12 states require casinos to adopt and carry out responsible gaming policies as a condition of getting licensed, according to Brian Lehman, a spokesman for the American Gaming Association, the main industry trade group. They include Nevada, Louisiana, Iowa, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Florida, Illinois and New York. New Jersey, however, has no such requirement.
Many states have so-called self-exclusion lists, where gamblers can sign up and require casinos to bar them from the premises either permanently, or for varying periods of time. Many states also assess a charge on casinos to help fund treatment programs for compulsive gamblers.
Michigan, which estimates it has 350,000 residents who are addicted to gambling, places ads for its problem-gambler hotline in church bulletins. The Seminole Indian casinos in Florida, like many others across the nation, put up signs letting customers know where to go for help with a gambling problem, and include that information on players club cards and casino advertising.
A problem gambling task force is being formed near Kansas City, Kan., where a casino opened Feb. 2. Neighboring Missouri has a self-exclusion list. And authorities in Massachusetts are considering problem gambler prevention and treatment programs as casino gambling draws nearer there.
Arelia Taveras started out as an ambitious lawyer and TV commentator who got to know the staff in Atlantic City casinos, and soon limousines were whisking her to the resort for the high-roller treatment. But her gambling spun out of control: She said she would go days at a time at the tables, not eating or sleeping, brushing her teeth with disposable wipes so she didn't have to leave the table. She sometimes passed out.
Her total losses amounted to nearly $1 million, and in 2008, she filed a $20 million racketeering lawsuit against six Atlantic City casinos, and one in Las Vegas, claiming they had a duty to notice her compulsive gambling problem and cut her off.
Such lawsuits rarely succeed, but they can be costly for casinos to defend, and damaging to their reputation. Taveras' suit was dismissed, and Taveras served nearly 3½ years in prison for stealing clients' money to finance her gambling. She wishes someone at any of the casinos she frequented — including Resorts — would have taken her aside and tried to talk some sense into her when it was obvious she needed help.
"I'd stay three, four days at the table and have a Snickers bar," she said. "There are people who pee on their seats because they don't want to get up. You mean you don't see that? Come on. They have a duty to us."
In a single weekend in September 2005, she says, she lost $150,000 gambling at Resorts. She says the casino asked her to sign a waiver of liability if she wanted to continue gambling there, but she declined. Taveras realizes many people feel she is solely to blame for her own actions. But she gambling can be every bit as addictive as drugs or alcohol.
"Capitalism is capitalism; I get that," she said. "My issue is that they need to take steps to weed out casualties."

The new FX58 and FX28 self-propelled forage harvesters from New Holland boast greater chopping capacities and more reliable performance than the FX25 and FX45 models they replace.
More cutting power. "The hottest feature of the FX58 is that it now runs a Caterpillar engine," says Phillip Wright, New Holland's FX specialist. This 525-hp, American-made engine has 75 more horsepower than its predecessor and has an electronic fuel system and electronic governor that, unlike mechanical systems, let you go from light to heavy crops without dropping in rpm.
The FX58 also features heavier drivelines and gearboxes and an improved sheer-bar-adjust system to stand up to the higher capacities.
The new FX28 carries all the same heavy-duty components as the FX58, but it has a smaller engine - a 13.8-liter, 346-hp New Holland diesel. Both models let you select from four lengths of cut.
The cutterhead on both models measures an extra-wide 30 in. to cut more crop. Knives are beveled and double-sided to provide a clean cut with less horsepower. Suggested list price: $250,000 for the FX58 and $200,000 for the FX28.
Matching windrow pickups. To match the capacity of these two new models, New Holland also has come out with three new windrow pickups: the 345W with a 10-ft. operating width, the 355W with a 12-ft. width and the 365W with a 15-ft. width.
"We made them wider and a lot more durable with more features like gauge wheels, skid shoes and rollers to take the beating of the higher horsepower of the new harvesters," Wright says. Suggested list price: $11,917 for the 345W, $16,177 for the 355W and $19,591 for the 365W. Contact New Holland, Dept. FIN, Box 1895, New Holland, PA 17557, 717/355-1371.

A Company of Soldiers
This PBS Frontline report from inside the U.S. Army's 8th Cavalry Regiment stationed in Baghdad, provides an up-close, intimate look at the dangers facing an American military unit in Iraq. Shot in the weeks following the U.S. presidential election, the film tracks the day-to-day challenges facing the 8th Cavalry's Dog Company as it suddenly has to cope with a dramatic increase in attacks by the insurgents.
After the Fog: Interviews with Combat Veterans
Ten U.S. combat veterans, nearly all from Vermont, tell of their military experience in WWII, Vietnam and Iraq. They provide vivid, poignant, personally charged accounts of their own enlistment, training, combat, and return to civilian life. Their stories, skillfully woven together by the filmmaker, create a compelling and moving portrait of the American veteran across several generations.
The Ground Truth
A painfully candid window into the war in Iraq as it is endured on the ground and suffered long afterward by the veterans who have fought it. For them, in their own words, the most challenging battles await them as they take the long road home.
Let There Be Light
Filmed in 1946 for the U.S. government by the legendary director, John Huston. Highly controversial in its day for its unguarded depiction of WWII battlefield fatigue, Let There Be Light was suppressed by the government for over thirty years after it was produced.
Muse of Fire: Operation Homecoming — Writing the Wartime Experience
Readings and interviews with distinguished authors, veterans and their families who participated in the Operation Homecoming Project, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Archives.
Occupation Dreamland
An unflinchingly candid portrait of a squad of American soldiers deployed in the doomed Iraq city of Falluja during the winter of 2004. Winner of the Working Films Award at the 2005 Full Frame Documentary Film Festival.
The Soldier's Heart
A 60-minute PBS Frontline documentary, telling the stories of soldiers who have come home haunted by their experiences and asking whether the government is doing enough to help them.
Voices in Wartime and Beyond Wartime
Heralded by the New York Times as "an elegant statement not only about the devastation of war, but also about poetry's power to amaze," these two films focus on the wounds of war and on the people who are working to heal them.
Why We Fight
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, and featuring such diverse voices as John McCain, Gore Vidal, and Richard Perle, this film investigates a half-century of war-making and U.S. foreign policy since the 1961 Farewell Address of President Dwight Eisenhower.

Your Social Security: Retirement benefits and Social Security work together sometimes
by Tom Margenau
Q: I am 58 years old and about to retire after 30 years of work for a county government in California. I was told that certain county employees in California, Texas, and a few other states could collect Social Security retirement benefits before the age of 62. Is this true?
A: No, you can't draw Social Security retirement benefits before age 62. And that's a fact whether you live and work in California, or Texas, or Timbuktu! Social Security is a federal program and the laws apply equally in all states.
But many state and county pension plans, and some private plans for that matter, offer to pay their early retirees a temporary benefit in lieu of Social Security until their real Social Security kicks in. In other words, if you are able to retire at age 58 with 30 years of service and collect a pension from the county you worked for, the county might provide you an extra benefit that's intended to supplement your pension until you reach Social Security age. Then at age 62, you apply for and get your Social Security payments, and your employer stops paying you that extra benefit.
Some pensioners, and even some pension plan managers, mistakenly refer to this as "temporary Social Security." But it is not a Social Security payment. It is just an extra benefit your employer provides. So you will have to check with your employer to find out if they offer this special benefit.
Q: I am about to turn 62 and plan to apply for my Social Security. Then, when I turn 65, I will get a pension from my former employer. I was told that when that happens, my Social Security benefits would be reduced. Is this true?
A: No, it's not true. Social Security retirement benefits are never reduced by any other pension you might receive.
On the other hand, the opposite is often true. Many public and private pensions are reduced when Social Security benefits kick in. But that almost always happens when the other pension is paid first. As alluded to in the answer to the first question, these pensions often include extra amounts that are supposed to take the place of Social Security payments until the actual federal retirement benefits are paid.
And by the way, even though I said that Social Security retirement benefits are never reduced by any other pension you might receive, the same is not always true for Social Security disability benefits. There is a law that says the combination of a Social Security disability benefit and a worker's compensation payment cannot exceed 80 percent of the average income a person had before becoming disabled. If the two payments combined exceed that rate, one or the other benefit must be cut. In some states, the worker's compensation payment is adjusted. In other states, the Social Security disability benefit is reduced.
Q: I am about to turn 66 years old. I have been getting widow's benefits since I was 60. When I applied for those benefits, I was told that I might be able to switch to a higher amount on my own retirement account at age 66. When I recently went to my local Social Security office to inquire about this, I was handed the attached computer printout. (Note to my readers: I'm not reprinting it here because it's gibberish.) I was given this piece of paper with no explanation other than to "check out the numbers and make a decision." I have no idea what this printout is telling me. Can you help?
A: You unfortunately got stuck with one of the laziest Social Security Administration employees I ever heard of! What you were given is an internal SSA document that the representative was supposed to use to interpret your various options with respect to when to switch to your own retirement benefits. Based on the limited information I was able to get from the printout, it looks like your best option is to wait until age 70 and then switch from widow's benefits to retirement benefits. But please don't take my word for it. Go back to your local SSA office and demand to speak to a supervisor or manager who should give you better service.

Jason Garrett Needs To Be The Cowboys MVP
Here we are, three weeks before the draft and unless we make a blockbuster trade to move up or sign Holt or Harrison our offense right now is probably the offense that will start the 2009 season.
Now that we cut loose our most explosive offensive weapon (which I still believe is a huge mistake) we need to focus on what we need to get that sixth title.
Jason Garrett in my opinion needs to be the MVP of this team in order for the Cowboys to compete. MVP meaning… the most valuable play-caller.
He wowed us in 2007 when the offense racked up huge numbers, but once teams caught on and took away THE PLAYER, the offense was average at best. Garrett's play calling was way too predictable last year, I mean think back at all the times we had an incomplete pass on first down, then a one-yard run on second, and then a five-yard completion on third, and finally a punt. That scenario played out so many times last season… too many to remember.
Even with THE PLAYER gone, this offense is loaded with talent ranging from the three headed monster in the backfield, to Roy Williams, Patrick Crayton and Miles Austin downfield, to Mr. Reliable himself, Jason Witten who I believe will suffer most due to The Player's departure. I just see him drawing that extra man from the defense which could and should open up Martellus Bennett to have a decent season.
If Garret can use the talent he has and accounts for the defensive adjustments during the game, there is no reason we shouldn't be able to put up 30 passes per game in 2009.
Here is my gameplan…
First, he needs to find a way to get Tashard Choice, Felix Jones, and Marion Barber into the game as much as possible whether its throwing Felix out in the slot or even loading up the backfield with all three… he needs to get creative with these three.
Second, lots of screen passes is a must. Get the ball in these guys hands and make the defense stop them.
Third, once you establish to the opposing defense that they need to come up and stop our three backs, this will free up Witten and Bennett in the middle of the field for some nice chunks of yardage.
Fourth, they need to throw downfield more. If the Cowboys accomplish the first three items on this list, it should leave our receivers in one on one coverage. With Williams' height and ability, coupled with the speedy Austin Miles, it could be a potent combination.
Finally and most important, the offensive line needs to have that killer instinct. Whether its run blocking or protecting Tony, they need to step up and show that they are not only the biggest but also the baddest group in the league. Mark Colombo, Leonard Davis, Andre Gurode, Kyle Kosier and Flozell Adams are all locked into long deals and for decent chunks of Jerry Jones' money. They need to play with that swagger we often hear so much about.
So there it is my plan for Garrett to become the Cowboys MVP in 2009.
If I am right and Garrett can use that Princeton education of his to establish a smarter, creative and more efficient playbook, then hopefully we'll be celebrating our sixth ring in Miami in February of 2010.
