There is a lot of written information in this blog and on other websites surrounding the Social Security Disability claims process. But my experience as a Southern Illinois Disability attorney is that some people prefer to learn by watching rather than reading. Luckily, the Social Security Administration has produced a series of educational videos to walk you through the process. You can watch them here!
As a Southern Illinois Social Security Disability representative, I believe these videos constitute a helpful crash course in understanding the Social Security Disability claims process.
Part 1: Introduction to the Disability Process
In part one, follow one individual through the Social Security disability claims process as he tries to get his claim approved.
Part 2: Filing a Disability Claim
Part two explains the process of filling out an application for Social Security Disability benefits.

Part 3: Medical Evidence
Part three in the video series explains how Social Security uses medical evidence to reach decisions on disability claims.

Part 4: Quality Review
To ensure that everyone at the Social Security Administration is following quality guidelines, claims are chosen at random to be reviewed by the Office of Quality Performance.
Part 5: Appeals
Part five walks you through the appeals process if your Social Security Disability claim is denied.

This past Christmas my father would have turned 100 years old. This upcoming January is the 40th anniversary of his death. Two milestones each on the opposite end of the spectrum.
My childhood Christmases had two sides to them. First, was the magical morning of seeing what Santa brought us, tearing open presents, and playing with all the toys and games.
Then, after Mom made a traditional full breakfast with hash browns and bacon, a time came when Dad told us we would have to get dressed to go to his first born's house (from an earlier marriage) for dinner to celebrate his birthday.

Movies about Egyptian mummies coming to life have been around almost as long as producers have been making motion pictures. From the 1908 French film La Momie and the 1932 B&W classic The Mummy with Boris Karloff to the most recent trilogy of hits from Universal Pictures starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, audiences just love to be frightened by ghouls wrapped in gauze.
The 1999 version of The Mummy was a blockbuster adventure film with mild horror themes, as Fraser played American researcher Rick OConnell and Weisz took on the role of librarian Evelyn Carnahan O`Connell. They were joined by Arnold Vosloo as the High Priest Imhotep and his cohort of mummified priests. The 2001 sequel called The Mummy Returns included the same trio, plus Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Mathayus the Scorpion King and Patricia Velasquez as the Pharaohs mistress Anck Su Namun.
The third movie in the series was released in 2008The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. All together, the trilogy has banked over $1.2 billion in box office and DVD sales, and a roller coaster ride called Revenge of the Mummy opened at the Universal Studios Orlando amusement park in 2004. However, it was the second film in the series upon which Playtech chose to base its high-tech video slot The Mummy in 2011.
This five-reel, 25-payline game is one of the most complex and involving slots in Playtechs line up. It features the actors Fraser, Weisz, Johnson, Vosloo and Velasquez in their film roles as symbols to match up on paylines, along with such artifacts as Scarabs, Sarcophaguses and Handguns. The highest payout on a single line, 10,000X, is awarded for five Rick OConnell (Fraser) symbols on an active payline.
Other line payouts range from 5X to 2,000X. Credit denominations range from 0.05 to 1, with wagering of one credit per line on any number of paylines up to 25 for a maximum bet of 25. The credit value can be adjusted by clicking on the +/- buttons under the second reel.
To begin the game, click Spin. The reels can be halted instantly by clicking Stop. Winnings appear in the Win display below the third reel, while the current Balance appears in the lower left corner of the screen. Use of Autoplay allows up to 50 respins at the same bet level.
During the basic slots game, Mummy symbols are wild on reels 2, 3 and 4 only and substitute for all symbols except the scattered Logos, the Bonus Hunt symbol and the Free Spin symbol. Obtaining 3, 4 or 5 scattered Logos multiplies the entire wager by 4X, 30X or 150X, respectively.
Whenever three Free Spin symbols appear across reels 1, 3 and 5 in the basic slots game, the player receives five free spins plus an additional Super Spin. Wilds that appear along the way are stored as Collected Wilds to be used in the Super Spin round, when they are distributed on reels 2, 3 and 4 for potential massive wins.
The Mummy Hunt Bonus round is triggered by the appearance of Mummy Hunt symbols on both reels one and five. The regular slots mode is suspended and a scene opens up in the depths of an ancient pyramid, where mummies must be slaughtered for repeat cash prizes of up to 3X the line bet for each one destroyed.
Although those would be plenty of features for most slot games, The Mummy slots have an additional six bonus games available, which are unlocked one by one as the random Lost City Adventure Bonus is activated, which can occur at the end of any regular spin.
Picking boxes reveals prizes and unlocks new features, such as the Scorpion Scatter, Expanding Mummy, Scarab Attack and Mummy Power. Others are the Collapsing Reels Bonus and the Mummy Re-Spin. Once the features have been unlocked, they can be played during and subsequent Lost City Adventure Bonus round.

2. Installing an Interactive Prayer Wall to Expand Your Prayer Ministry is our 2nd of 10 Church Outreach Ideas for the Internet.
A prayer wall is an interactive site where people can write down their prayer requests or praise reports. Installing a prayer wall is a good way to both expand your church outreach to the unchurched as well as to develop deeper fellowship among your members.
Good prayer walls are easy-to-use, interactive and have features which ensure that spam robots do not post unrelated matters. Through prayer walls, your church has the direct opportunity to reach out to those who are clearly seeking prayer support, guidance and direction.
A prayer wall can also be used to ask your members and followers all over the world to pray for specific requests. Examples of these specific intentions include praying for the church leadership, seeking guidance about planting new churches or praying for missionary families.
You and your church leaders can also use this wall to see what matters concern your church greatly at any given moment and that may even enable you to strategically choose your next sermon series or outreach emphasis.
Prayer walls have great outreach possibilities if planned and executed well. Good examples of prayer walls online include those of the following not for profit organizations:
Gregory Dickow Ministries
Presidential Prayer Team
Jerusalem Prayer Team

New Book – Communication in Investigative and Legal Contexts
Communication in Investigative and Legal Contexts brings clarity to the subject by providing readers with in-depth coverage of the complex area of communication in forensic settings, for example during investigative interviewing of victims, witnesses and suspects / high interest groups, during discourse in courtrooms and via legal intermediaries and interpreters.
Drawing on knowledge from forensic psychology, linguistics and law enforcement worldwide, the text is unique in bridging the gap between these fields in a definitive guide to best practice, with chapters written by teams bringing together expertise and specialities from each field.
The section Vulnerable individuals, intermediaries and justice was contributed by Brendan O'Mahoney, Ruth Marchant (both well known to intermediaries of course) and Lorna Fadden.

The Choices
There are two principle opposing views on the question of the origin of life. One is that we are the inevitable consequence of matter and natural laws working their magic over great expanses of time. The other explanation is that we were created by a higher intelligence.
Evolutionists contend that the origin of life was ignited at the Big Bang and then s-l-o-w-l-y crawled out of the sod. As one popular science author puts it, "We are, after all, evolved comets and sunbeams. From stardust we are born and to stardust we will return."1 As outlandish as that claim may seem to be at face value, evolution permeates modern reading material and education. Most scientists believe it, and many religions have hybridized it into their beliefs as well.
On the other hand, throughout history, creation seems to have been the intuitive and common sense first choice as the origin of life. Most cultures pose various stories in this regard and tie them to religion. However, belief in intelligent creation can also be totally personal and nonreligious.
The fact that intelligent design can be concluded apart from religion is largely ignored by evolutionists. Instead, they portray any critic of their doctrine as a religious fanatic–an easily defeated strawman and whipping boy. Any effort to match up intelligent design with science is seen by evolutionists as a ruse, a bait and switch, an evangelistic shenanigan to intrude into schools and indoctrinate children with a fundamentalist mindset that is hostile to science and reason.
Although there is every reason to suspect any argument or person with a prior intellectual or religious commitment, fair consideration of all positions is always appropriate. But the idea of creation is not only bullied by evolutionists, religions even pile on. Some theologians consider it heretical to suggest that God has a hand in the natural order of things since it creates for them a theodicy of conflict: how can a god who manipulates the natural world not step in and remove evil? They resolve this apparent dilemma by removing God from the world and inserting evolution. What seems to be overlooked is that if all adversity were removed there could be no free will (to make good or bad decisions), and little learning (since experiencing adversity is important in learning). The apparent irreconcilability of love and pain will be discussed at length later in Solving the Big Questions as if Thinking Matters.
Grappling with theodicy and evil in the world is important, but it puts the cart before the horse with regard to the question of the origin of life. First things first. If the evidence proves intelligent creation, then so be it. Problems in attempting to read the mind and motives of the creator are theology, a very human and subjective sort of thing. Such matters should follow a rational examination of the issue of the origin of life, not precede it.
On the other hand, there is dissention among the ranks of evolutionists as well. Some of them find that the science does not readily lend itself to their theory. Particularly troubling for them is the lack of evidence for life arising from nonliving matter. So they push the problem of the origin of life offshore, out into the galaxy, and say that life was seeded here from another planet. Some have even proposed that we are like a crop being farmed by aliens. These panspermist ideas do not really solve anything though. We would still be faced with the question of the ultimate cause of the seeds riding on the backs of meteors, or the origin of the Johnny Appleseed aliens who planted us here.
Regardless of the position held, regardless of its support, people tend to jealously clutch their beliefs. Emotions, bias, agendas, and propaganda abound because people sense that there is a lot at stake. If the subject of the origin of life is so important–and it most certainly is–uncluttered reason and an open consideration of the facts should be the primary goal. The SOLVER principles should be given priority (Self responsibility, Open mindedness, Long view thinking, Virtuous intent, Evidence first, and Reasoning).
Let's approach the question of the origin of life as if thinking matters, trusting that if we let truth be the preeminent objective, it will rise to the top in an open forum of ideas and a fair consideration of evidence.

Needing to get a Professional Headshot was something I had put off doing for a while. I typically hate being photographed and was not looking forward to my appointment. However, from the start, both Kimberly and Debbie put me at ease. They are a team of experts and know exactly what they are doing. From helping me choose the appropriate outfit based on style and color, applying make-up and hair touch up that produced a natural look and positioning me in the correct way to create a flattering image, the entire process went quickly and smoothly. I was able to view the images as they were taken and choose the best ones. Kimberly forwarded me the copies a few hours later and they are already updated onto my website and Facebook! I am thrilled with the results!

Please rewind back to the 90s, to a different time and place, to the peacefully creative shores of New Zealand. Feel free to let yourself become younger in soul and feeling, what have you got to lose after all? A couple of tall dwarfs will lead you strumming and singing into the happiest and saddest recesses of your inner heart; you may not take all this too seriously, but if you let them, I grant you will be affected!This remastered reissued of 1990 Weeville (originally out on the legendary NZ label Flying Nun) for the American label Cloud Recordings is just what it takes to introduce you to the lo-fi perfections of this NZ duo, who after being in one of the seminal NZ punk bands, went on to lead for a while the NZ assault to 90's indie pop music. The rest of the world (some of it, at least) stood in awe and listened: how could a four-track equipment, looped rhythms (ingenious enough to be childish) and a folksinger's voice show the way to a renewed pop ethics that had been swamped by then in overproduced sound effects? In fact, looking back on those times, it can be said that Tall Dwarfs, just by being outside all the trends of mainstream anglo-american pop music, had the privilege to be free and cultivate their own brand of streamlined pop-folk. Melodies could be simple and infectious, or ballad-like and sour-sweet: the lyrics were invariably touching, ironic and yet profound. Isn't this light-hearted seriousness what makes pop songs relevant, after all?All 16 tracks of this CD are sparkling with ideas, and will have a way of winding their loopy (and loony) sounds into your ears. American lo-fi indie heroes like Pavement adored the Tall Dwarfs, and if you listen to this CD you too will understand why. I have always been hooked by them; don't know why but I picture them as dwarfish elves in a Peter Jackson's movie – if just for once Peter Jackson left Hollywood and shot the wild and melancholy low-budget B-movie we know we would love! Just listen to "Bodies"...

NEW CASTLE - As a child growing up in the 1950s in Ellwood City's West End, Ed Fosnaught played board games on the front porch of then-future rock star Donnie Iris.
In the 1960s, he was a college football teammate of baseball hall-of-famer Reggie Jackson. As a Lawrence County Commissioner, he hobnobbed with presidents and governors.
But as he prepares to wrap up a 12-year run in office this week, Fosnaught said he will define his political life not in a few high-profile issues, but in many small acts that were important only to those directly affected by them.
"The biggest effect that I had here are things that would never make headlines, following up on small issues," Fosnaught said. "You can't get someone out of jail, but you can make sure that they are warm at night, you can make sure no one's picking on them ... I've always tried to make sure everyone got help."
That would include his work to bring bus service to Ellwood City, which Fosnaught said was a priority when he was first elected to the commissioners' board in 1995. At that time, there was neither funding nor political will for such a venture.
Fosnaught said the New Castle Transit Authority didn't have the resources for bus service in Ellwood City and a study indicated that it wasn't necessary. But, on the recommendation of a PennDOT official, he helped get funding for a pilot mini-bus program two days a week.
When it was attempted in 1997, the bus was a roaring success, Fosnaught said.
"It turned out that the bus was full every day," he said.
As a result of the pilot program, the state and county kicked in enough money to extend bus service, which continues today, into the county's southern region.
Fosnaught, who served 11 years on the board of commissioners as a Republican, switched parties last February and was defeated by incumbent Commissioner Steve Craig and newcomer Richard DeBlasio last May in the Democratic primary.
Craig and DeBlasio, along with incumbent Republican Dan Vogler, won election to the board in November, and Fosnaught's tenure on the board of commissioners, one of the longest in county history, officially ends on New Year's Eve.
Even though he now lives in Slippery Rock Township, Fosnaught said he has tried to be an advocate for Ellwood City, where he grew up.
"You can always tell people I went to school with because they call me Eddie," he said. "We played outside a lot and things weren't as organized as they were today.
"We used to sit on Donnie Iris' porch and play Monopoly."
Fosnaught's youth was the heyday of Ellwood City, when the U.S. Steel Tube Mill and Aetna Standard ran 24 hours a day and the men who worked there fueled a burgeoning business district along Lawrence Avenue, which ran a block away from Fosnaught's childhood home.
"I remember waling down Lawrence Avenue at Christmas and it took hours to walk from Ninth Street to Fifth Street because the sidewalks were just packed," he said.
Fosnaught had a newspaper delivery route for The Ledger, which was handed down through his siblings - Joyce Ierace, who is married to Donnie Iris' uncle; Alice Ostrom, of North Sewickley Township; Bob Fosnaught, of Tampa, Fla.; Sara Darling, of Massachusetts; and Joe Fosnaught, who is deceased.
Later, he changed the marquee at the Majestic Theatre, which was once one of two movie theaters on Lawrence Avenue. In addition to a modest salary, Fosnaught got into the movies for free.
"I saw every movie that played in those days," he said.
But Fosnaught had enough free time to partake in a 1960s-era western Pennsylvania tradition - high school football. A standout offensive lineman, he accepted a football scholarship to Arizona State University.
Among his teammates with the Wildcats were Curley Culp, who was a Pro Bowl player in the NFL for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Reggie Jackson.
Jackson would go on to greater fame as a baseball player with the Oakland As and New York Yankees. Jackson cemented a legend as "Mr. October" by hitting three home runs in Game 6 of the 1977 World Series.
But Fosnaught said Jackson, a defensive back for Arizona State, could have been just as great on the football field or even in the classroom.
"Just very fast, very coordinated," Fosnaught said. "He had a lot of confidence. You knew he was going to be good at whatever he did."
Fosnaught left Arizona State after two years and went to work in the tube mill before returning to college at Youngstown State College, where he obtained a business degree.
Going back to college meant going back to football, which was a prospect that didn't exactly fill him with enthusiasm. After playing in high school for the Wolverines and two more years at Arizona State, Fosnaught said he was kind of footballed out.
"For guys like Reggie and Curley, who were going to the pros, college football was great," he said. "For guys like me, who were just getting an education, it wasn't as much fun as high school football.
"But if it weren't for football, I never would have gotten to go to college."
After graduating from Youngstown State University, Fosnaught, 61, served one term on Ellwood City School Board, and was board president in 1974.
He also worked in a series of industrial jobs, including as production supervisor for Moonlight Mushrooms in Butler County immediately before being elected to the county board of commissioners in 1995.
Fosnaught and his wife, Pam, have four adult children - Patrick, an Iraq War veteran who is now in the Pittsburgh Police Academy; Annie, an attorney; Tim, an apprentice carpenter; and Turner, who is a sales representative for Classico Foods.
Starting next week, he plans a return to private industry. But he'll take fond memories with him when he leaves the courthouse.
"I'm very grateful for this job," Fosnaught said. "The people of Lawrence County have been very good to me.
"And I've tried to reciprocate by doing a good job."

John Hoyer Updike (March 18, 1932 – January 27, 2009) was an American novelist, poet, short story writer, art critic, and literary critic.
John Updike
Strangest is their reality,
their three-dimensional workmanship:
veined pebbles that have an underside,
maps one could have studied for minutes longer,
books we seem to read page after page.
If these are symbols cheaply coined
to buy the mind a momentary pardon,
whence this extravagance? Fine
as dandelion polls, they surface and explode
in the wind of the speed of our dreaming,
so that we awake with the sense
of having missed everything, tourists
hustled by bus through a land whose history
is our rich history, whose artifacts
were filed to perfection by beggars we fear.
