GREEN BAY, Wis. -- When this game was over, the Packers were without 11 total starters: five on offense, six on defense. That's half of their starters.

Handing out grades following the Packers' 31-17 win over the Arizona Cardinals: Passing Offense: B- Even in Aaron Rodgers' own opinion, this wasn't his best game. He completed less than 50 percent of his passes (14 for 30) and missed a few open receivers. However, Rodgers did throw four touchdown passes, and that's pretty good for a quarterback not playing his best. His one interception occurred on a questionable call by the officials when Randall Cobb seemed to catch a ball on the ground before losing it into the arms of William Gay. With Greg Jennings out and Jordy Nelson not able to make it through one quarter before suffering a new injury (add a bad ankle to his ailing hamstring)...

Dear All,
My wife asked me to wrote this post as she thought I might be useful.
Background on my wife. 36, wife, mother of a 4 yo boy and turning 2 in August girl, and as of June 3 stage IV bc with mets to the liver. Yeah I know, sucks.
As for me, bad news I am an attorney. Good news, I am an attorney who devotes 100% of his practice to representing individuals who have been denied disability by the SSA.
So I may be able to help address some concerns and quesitons about this topic.
First off, this is not an advertisement. Just trying to be helpful.
Second, I will try to answer any questions in a general manner. My answers are not meant to be legal advice and should not be taken that way. So when I read a post with a specific question or problem I will try and answer it in a broad general way.
Third, again this is not a troll for clients. While we are in California SS is a federal program so the laws and rules are the same across the country. So I think I can be helpful.
Fourth, again my answers should not be construed as legal advice. While I have experience in this area of law any response I make may or may not be correct and you should not rely on it. there is no substitute for your own due diligence.
Fifth, I would liek to keep this topic focused on dealing with what is, not what it should be. Basically, SSA is the largest administrative system in the world. Getting frustrated that it is not set up they way it should be does not help focus on the way it is and how to navigate to improve your chances of getting approved.
So here are some inital thoughts:
1. If you have/get an attorney, under federal law they cannot charge you any money up front for the attorney service. Period. It is actually a federal crime for an attorney to receive payment for attorney services from a SS client from anything except their back benefit.
The law says that any attorney fee cannot exceed 25% of the back benefit. If you have an attorney and they help when the case at or before a first hearing with an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) the fee is 25% or $6,000 whichever is smaller.
So if an attorney tells you that it is 25% if you win or some less amount of money if you lose that is not correct. If you don't win your case or even if you win but get no back money, your attorney gets zero.
Now the one thing is that your attorney can charge you, win or lose, any costs that he pays to get medical records to help prove your case. So if your attorney gathers medical records from your doctors who charge him $25, $50, etc.. And you lose your case, an attorney can send you a for that cost. Because it is not an attorney fee but a cost.
2. Some of you may have what is called an overpayment issue. Where SSA pays you some money and then at some point says they paid you too much and they want their money back. If that happens to you, or if it happened to me, I would call/visit SSA and request forms/file a waiver of overpayment form. It is pretty simple and SSA should help you. It is not hard to do and it may reduce or eliminate what SSA says you owe.
Anyway, feel free post some general questions and I will try and address them.
Take care

I dont know if you realize it but this thread you started is priceless. There are so many on this site who are so confused about SSI/SSDI. I thank you so much for helping the members of BCO. I dont know if this will help anyone but my oncologist told me that she fills out all SSDI paperwork herself to avoid errors which would delay approval. She said that silly little errors can cause months of waiting for approval and although she trusts her staff, she feels its best done by herself when she is not being interrupted etc. I had MRI, PET, Xrays,CT scans, biopsies and bloodwork as part of my proof of my condition. I received my award paperwork in less than 6 weeks. Many ladies say that Stage 4 is automatic and you are always approved for it but according to our SSDI office that is not true.

General Post:
As I have mentioned I have not had much experience helping people actually apply attorneys are not needed until a person gets denied at least once.
Well I have some experience now as I helped my wife apply. So i will share my experience, hopefully it will help others.
First, I need to give credit to Chickadee and the others who were on another thread about Stage IV and getting SSA. That thread and the questions on this thread got me doing some research at SS that helped me when we applied.
I have a bad habit of turning short stories into long ones...so here is a quick highlight. We applied on June 28, 2011.
On June 29, 2011 we received a phone call that asked if we could come in and drop off the Medical Authorization form so they could get moving on the application. I brought the med auth in with some medical records on June 30, 2011. She was approved on July 6.
Here are some things I think may have helped:
1. I filed online. SSA has spent a lot of time and money getting as automated and electronic as possible. By filing online I saved the time of waiting on the phone or going in person.
2. I made sure I was very detailed about what the alleged disability is. I figured that SSA probably has an automated way of catching key words.
On the app I put down
Breast/Liver Cancer Stage IV -IDC - Metastize To Liver
On the disability report I put down as her conditions:
1 Metastatic Breast Cancer Stage 4
2 Invasive ductal carcinoma with metastasis to the Liver
Again I knew what I was going for so I wanted it to jump out.
Likewise in the comments section I put down the following:
Please see POMS DI 23022.125 Breast Cancer. This claim should be coded and processed as a compassionate allowance.
If you go back and read what I posted about the internal guidance manuals. Instead of having the SSA employee have to look it up I figured I might as well tell them which manual section covered my wife's claim. Hoping to save time.
Again not sure if it helped but there are some 40 different medical conditions eligible for a compassionate allowance. Don't think it can hurt to alert the SSA person to that one that covers your situation.
3. When I took in the Med. Auth. form I also took in the relevant medical records.
If you read the POMS that govern BC they are looking for confirmation of stage IV. Biopsy, labs, scans, etc.
So I made sure that I had copies of her mamo, ducto, right breast biopsy, MRI, PET scan, and the liver biopsy.
You don't have to do this as SSA will get that after you sign med req auth form. But it takes a few days for SSA to send it out...then you are hoping that one or more doctors offices get on it (fast is 2 weeks avg is 30 days) and then the records are processed.
Dropping off the key records to SSA I think can save time.
4. Disability onset date. Ok here is where it gets tuff to talk about and you might want to get a tissue.
As our tagline and first post state my wife was diagnosed, via a right breast biopsy, with IDC on June 3, 2011.
Saw oncologist on June 7..General Surgeon on June 8 decide on double mast, June 9 MRI, June 10 met with plastic surgeon who let us know surgery scheduled for June 17.
On June 16, 2011 the day before her scheduled surgery we went in for a PET scan because onco saw some spots on the liver in MRI. Said 99% gonna be some kind of cyst. But got to make sure, have PET over by 10:30am...surgeon office calls at 11:30 says doc wants to see you at 1. yeah as Scooby would say...Rut-roh...anyway mets to the liver no surgery goes straight to chemo and stage IV.
Anyway, getting to picking an onset date, here is the kicker...in late September 2010 my wife feels a lump in the right breast...goes to see PCP who feels it and refers to local breast center.
Wife as ultrasound and mamo in mid to late October...mass is seen...scheduled for biopsy and ductogram in late October and early November.
Goes in for biopsy...MD sets up ultrasound and can't find mass...says "hey was nothing after all no need to do biopsy" send my wife home...she still has ductogram because she is expressing a dark fluid out of her nipples when squeezed hard by MD...nothing significant.
Told to come back in six months for follow up ultra sound.
She does in late May 2011...now mass is back and bigger. Has the June 2 biopsy. that results in June 3 being told hey you got IDC.
Doctor who said no need biopsy back in October calls my wife and says crying "I am so sorry...I should have done the biopsy in October...I screwed up.'
We try not to live in the past or play the blame game and I am not wanting to do that here ...we just said hey let's just stay focused on fighting this....gotta stay positive.
Anyway...we put down the onset as 11/1/10 because I felt that the ultrasound from 10/10 showed the presence of the tumor and that the biopsy in June confirmed it.
I probably could have pushed it to October 1 and explained about the lump but just went with 11/1.
Why the first day of the month? Remember there is a five month waiting period from approval to getting paid. So any date of disability other than first day of month 5 months don't start counting until next month. But if disability begins on the first day of the month then they count that month as the first month of the 5 months.
So whatever date your reports are go ahead and back dated it to the first of the month because it is medically reasonable that the cancer did not begin on the day that it was confirmed so picking as an example 4/1 when your biopsy or other confirming test is dated 4/25 should be ok.
And if you can document some treatment for a lump months before go for that to...example...you feel a lump in 2/11..go to doctor who can't feel it...you feel it again in 4/11...go back to dr. who feels it this time and refers you out for tests...you don't get the test until sometime in 5/11. I would put down as onset date 2/1/11 because the tests of 5/11 only confirmed what you tried to treat back in 2/11.
Anyway that is our story on how it all began and how it worked for us applying.

To all
Thaks for the well wishes.
I am thinking as this thread grows I should try and cull out the relevant info and put it at the top as an edited post. Sorta of a mini faq so people dont have to read the whole thread looking for info.
If anyone wants to read through and find the quesitons and answers (not just from me buit everyone) and handle the cut and paste part of it and send it to me that would be cool. I hope to eventually do it but just don't have time right now.
Jul 13, 2011 02:32PM bak94 wrote:
Thank you for the new info. I think what you just posted should be added to the top! I wish I had know when I applied about the date thing. I put April 5th, as that is the day I got the call "you have cancer" but my mammo and biopsy was march 31rst. I also thought I was stage 3C, and that is what I reported, but on a ct report it shows me as stage 4 because where on of my positive mammary nodes is, possibly not a mammary node but a mediastinal node. I think I am in denial and keep saying stage 3! I wish I also would have put the POMS also.
I get the not looking back. My mammo a year ago the radiologist said that there is nothing to worry about but also that he could't really see anything because of my dense breast, he suggested at some point I should have an mri, but it was not urgent. In my case it was not the doctors fault, but my fault. I should have immediately booked an mri because of my personal and family history of breast cancer. I waited a year for my next mammo, and the lump was almost missed, the radiologist said possibly some dcis, I needed a stereotactic biopsy, but then called me back because he looked at the films again and saw something even more suspicous and I needed to come in right away for an ultrasound guided biopsy of the area, instead of waiting for the stereotactic biopsy. Sorry this is long, but I really get the not looking in the past, just moving forward with the knowledge we have today is all we can do.
I can't say thank you enough, the information you provide is priceless.

Steven, I'm a little confused on the date of disability issue. The diagnosis date is necessary, I get that, but isn't the date of disability tied to the last day of work as well? Unless at the time your wife was not working, then the diagnosis date would be key. Maybe I just answered my own question.
I will say this, your SS office must have been very efficient. With all the details I provided it still took a call to the disability determination office in Tx. to nudge the caseworker to get the file off his desk and on to the next step. Took about 5 weeks for approval.

May I add something about SSD? I don't believe you covered this one, Steven - you may have & I just don't remember. But it's about SS disability and Medicare:
Receiving Medicare and disability benefits
Updated 06/10/2011 03:31 PM | ID# 155
Do I automatically receive Medicare benefits if I'm eligible for disability benefits?
You will receive Medicare after you receive disability benefits for 24 months. When you become eligible for disability benefits, we will automatically enroll you in Medicare. We start counting the 24 months from the month you were entitled to receive disability, not the month when you received your first check.
Residents of Puerto Rico or foreign countries will not receive Part B automatically. They must elect this benefit.
Special rules apply to:
End-stage renal disease (permanent kidney failure). People with permanent kidney failure get Medicare beginning:
•The third month after the month a regular course of renal dialysis begins; or
•The month of kidney transplantation.
Lou Gehrig's Disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). People with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis get Medicare beginning with the month they become entitled to disability benefits.
Medicare has four parts:
•Hospital insurance (Part A) helps pay hospital bills and some follow-up care. The taxes you paid while you were working financed this coverage, so it's premium free.
•Medical insurance (Part B) helps pay doctors' bills and other services. There is a monthly premium you must pay for Medicare Part B and you have the option to refuse this coverage.
•Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans generally cover many of the same benefits a Medigap policy would cover, such as extra days in the hospital after you have used the number of days Medicare covers. People with Medicare Parts A and B can choose to receive all of their health care services through one of these provider organization under Part C. There might be additional premiums required for some plans; and
•Prescription drug coverage (Part D) helps pay for medications doctors prescribe for treatment. Anyone who has Medicare hospital insurance (Part A), medical insurance (Part B) or a Medicare Advantage plan (Part C) is eligible for prescription drug coverage (Part D). Joining a Medicare prescription drug plan is voluntary and you pay an additional monthly premium for the coverage.

I just love it when SSA online implies one thing and SSA local rep tells you another. Wish they'd get on the same page. At least online you don't have to sit around for interminable amounts of time waiting for your number to be called. I did it online(late at night and at my convenience) and though the approval was not any faster than normal, the process started immediately as I received an envelope with some medical release forms 2 days later. Doing it online also allowed me to interrupt the process and gather documents/information that had I not brought it to the local window, they'd have told me to come back yet another day.
When I did my son's online, it requested that I print out several copies of the medical release form and bring it to the office and sign it in the presence of the rep. Well I did that and the rep didn't want them and handed me her form to sign and said they'd make copies.
Part of this process is the states disablity determination office......they are not SSA employees, SSA will not do anything until the DD office makes the decision. When you want to follow up on your approval, that is who you call, not the SSA office. At 30 days out, I made the mistake of visiting the SSA office to ask about my status only to be told it would be 3-4 months because they were so backed up. That turned out to be false once I found out about the DD office and called them.
Jumping through hoops. Such fun.

NMM, did your wife work? It is my understanding that even if my cancer were to go to stage IV, that I would have to have not worked for 6 months before I would be approved. I could apply while still working, but I would not be approved. I am a little confused on this issue and I think about it a lot because I have no resources if my cancer spreads and I am trying to educate myself on all this stuff. Thank you so much for helping everyone....

Did my wife work? Yes. She worked enough in her life to earn sufficient quarters of coverage to qualify for a Title II DIB, I don't have time to get into what quarters of coverage are and how one earns them, and etc. right now but will someday.
Was she working when the breast cancer was discovered? No. She stopped working a little before our son was born in 2007.
There is no minimum waiting period to being approved once your disability begins. But your disability won't begin, usually, until you stop working. As I have said previously, no matter how serious a DX is, if one works earning what SSA calls SGA one is not disabled.
But if your last day working (assuming SGA) is June 23 because your condition gets worse than June 24 would be your disability onset date. And you could be approved as of that date, but would not get paid until five full months later in December.
You are correct in noting that while you could apply while working you would not be approved (assuming your work is SGA) while you worked because that is the first test/question asked by SSA, is the person working/earning SGA?
I understand it is a scary proposition about not having any resources if you stop working.
Best advice for anyone is, as Chick mentioned, it is never to late to save. Next, if you are working and stop working most states have a short term state disability insurance (usually up to a year).
So if one stops working they should file for state and SSA, as well as any LTD policy they may have. There was a post above where I talked about the various programs that exist.

Thank you, Steven. I guess this stuff can get pretty complicated. But I know now not to bother applying for SSDI if I get mets, since I will still be having to work . But I need to research the other things that you mentioned and other state programs that may be available to me, should the time come. I have no LTD plan at my work, and of course, cannot get it now.

Fearless One, I know that you know that if your BC metastasizes it may not be your choice to continue working depending on how it affects you. You may be fine with few SE's from treatment or you may be debilitated.
At this point you are fortunate and do not have mets. All you can do now, as you are doing, is look at every option available to you and prepare a "rainy day" plan should you ever have to join our club(that no one wants to join). No matter how tight your finances, save something, anything. Perhaps do a financial diary and write down every dime you spend for a month and see where you discretionary funds are going and if those funds could be diverted to savings instead. Sometimes that means giving up a small treat or luxury but most of us don't realize how much money is getting out of our hands until we have to put it in black and white.
I wish you continued mets free living and hope you never have to consider SSDI.

Thanks, Chickadee. I meant I would have to work until (or if) I became debilitated. I thought of getting a second job, but I am in the middle of reconstruction right now, maybe when I am done...
Thank you for your kind words; I know I am putting the cart before the horse, but like you said - just educating myself on my options (or lack thereof) if something happens. I have kind of an ominous feeling , I can't explain it. I know I need to not think like that, though...

Just wanted to clarify that the statement of "not working" can be in error. I was able to be approved while utilizing my accrued sick pay in combination with approval to "work" 4 hours per week and in combination with FMLA. (I filed the FMLA tp protect my return to work if possible. I had the doctor approve 4 hours per week in order to have full pay, with the accrued sick days for those 12 weeks.).
Therefore, I was approved for SSDI while continueing to work part hours (although drawing full pay with the sick time). Moved directly to STD after the 12 weeks and LTD and SSDI slide right in after the STD.

I have an appt with my IRA guy after I go to the SS office so I will just set it up so I am getting enough out every month to pay the mortgage and some other bills. I am still working, but am keeping my appt on the 25th anyway and am starting to get my paperwork done with the forms on line. Even though I am still capable of working, I am just afraid to put this off much longer because the last three chemos have failed and things are not going in the right direction. So we shall see what happens.

Scuttlers, yes, by work, you can't go over 1K a month for SSDI. So by working 4 hours a week, you would certainly get approved. I meant a person who works full time and gets mets would not be approved - and would not necessarily be able to quit their job.

Just wanted to check this with you folks - I left work 10/29/10, had surgeries and chemo, was on FMLA and STD, then ADA leave with LTD until end date of 7/1/11. Total of 8 months off. Returned to work on 7/1 and will work until 7/19 and then have more surgery. I will have worked 12 days and made about $800. After this surgery I am not going back - can't handle it, too chaotic and physical, also inflexible on time off and I am still in active treatment. Here is the question - do I now restart my no-work clock since I returned, or do I bolster my claim since I can't physically keep up after making an attempt? Apparently even though I am only stage II I meet the "too old to be retrained" criteria.

My gut says that they will not take anything before your last day of work into account. That is the day you felt you could no longer engage in substantial gainful activity or SGA due to your disability.
You will have an uphill battle claiming SSDI without being Stage IV but you certainly should try.

SpecialK, I don't believe having stage II qualifies you, no matter your age. You would have to ask Steven to be certain, but I read the medical criteria for BC, and earliest they accepted was stage III with intrammary node involvement.

Hi Steven
FIrst let me say I am sorry you are having to do chemo.
Here's one for you. I have had BC 3 times in the last 2 1/2 years. A total of six surgeries Bilateral mastectomy. The last one nicked my ulner nerve and I have big issues there. Total I have had 24 doses of chemo in the last 2 years. I dragged my but to work for a few weeks after my last surgery and latest chemo started and used all my sick time during that time. I am now laid off for the summer thank God. During my last round of chemo which just ended 3 weeks ago, I had to be my brother's caretaker, and he died of cancer. I am now scheduled for radiation that will last 6 weeks which will be past my call back date to work. Needless to say I am a wreck both mentally and physically. I am working with a PT to try and get my arm and hand to work with out feeling like I have put my finger in a light socket every time I squeeze or lift any thing. Also , if I wan'snt having enough fun, the Taxotere left me with neurpathy in my arms, hands and feet. All three times my tumor has been less than 2 cm so I am still called a stage one. I am also seeing a shrink for PTSD and anxiety. I did apply for SSDD 2 months ago and am waiting to hear if they will approve me. I am a mental health therapist working with tiny tots at HeadStart.I all ready know that there is no way I can safely supervise a tantruming child, which is the clients that I get. The thought of having to go back to work in a few weeks is enough to give me anxiety attack. I also had a short stint on Tamoxifen which has left me deaf in my left ear .Where do you think I stand?

Actually Steven already answered this - and said if I was denied and lived in his state he would take my case. My LTD insurance company called me after I had been on ADA leave/LTD for several months, and after my FMLA/STD had run out.. They said after a review of my case they felt that I was a candidate for SSDI because of the combination of the nature of my job and my age. The SSA considers over 55 to be "advanced age" so if you have a job you can no longer do physically, due to breast cancer - regardless of stage, and you are at the "advanced" age of 53 or older, SSA feels that due to that "advanced age" you may be unable to be retrained into a new job. It is the combination of your previous job description and age, not your BC stage in this case. My question is geared more toward the work attempt for 12 days, after being off for 8 months, and inability to perform it adequately, earning less than $800, and the effect on disability date.

Working 4 hours is not working as defined by SSA. When I use the term "working" I am using SSA strict definition not any other. So while in general converation someone who works 1 hour a day or 4 hours a day is working, but for the purposes of this thread all work or working references are to SSA def which is SGA.
So if you make below SGA amounts while "working" part-time 4 hours you are not "working" (actually the term is engaging in substantial gainful work activity) as defind by SSA.
Also has someone else asked, money one recieves form an employer as a result of vacation, sick time, etc., doe snot appear to be conisdered counted towards SGA.

Here is another question
I have 125 pages of medical documents pertaining tomu case. When I checked my status on line there was a note indicating they were processing the medical portion of my claim. I took that to men that they were contacting my doctors. Since this can obviously be a very slow process, would it help for me to send in my copies of these records? I had to collect them to apply for Unium which I was finally able to do last week. The delay in that was the severe brain fog I was in for 14 weeks while on chemo.

I may have given the wrong impression so far in this thread. There are a lot of ways to be found disabled by SSA.
So far I have focused mainly on a dx of stage IV because that is what my wife has, that appears to be what everyone wants to talk about, and I started this thread after being on the SSA and stage iv thread.
Stage IV dx are also the type of case that is coded as a compassionate allowance. Which may sound great until as I have said what is good for a SSA claim is usual not good for a person's health.
I have helped a woman who was stage I or II get it (twice)...non cancer related I helped a woman get two years of benefits for post partum depression...after her 3rd kid. (you think she would have stopped after getting depressed after the 1st...LOL).
Each case is different and the system is so complex that at this point that when you can't work you should apply.
Here is my best non-legal advice to anyone.
f you go out of work on an illness or injury cancer related or not...and there is an indefinite time where you may not be able to work...or if it is not certain the treatment you are undergoing is going to reduce/remit/cure your medical condition....apply the day you stop working,...like NOW.
worst thing that happens...you apply...get a treatment cycle...don't work for 3-4 month...go back to work...call SSA up and withdraw your app and wait for the next time.
But filing right away when you stop working even though you hope to or in the past have gone back to work in a few months does not mean you should not apply, because unfortunately one of those times you won't get back to work asap or at all. And at least you have your app in.

"Not all species will be able to adapt fast enough or to the same extent, so coral communities will look and function differently than they do today," CalState's Logan said.
While this paper focuses on ocean warming, many other general threats to coral species have been documented to exist that affect their long-term survival, such as coral disease, acidification, and sedimentation. Other threats to corals are sea-level rise, pollution, storm damage, destructive fishing practices, and direct harvest for ornamental trade.
According to the Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2000 report, coral reefs have been lost around the world in recent decades with almost 20 percent of reefs lost globally to high temperatures during the 1998-1999 El Nio and La Nia and an 80 percent percent loss of coral cover in the Caribbean was documented in a 2003 Science paper. Both rates of decline have subsequently been documented in numerous other studies as an on-going trend.
Tropical coral reef ecosystems are among the most diverse ecosystems in the world, and provide economic and social stability to many nations in the form of food security, where reef fish provide both food and fishing jobs, and economic revenue from tourism. Mass coral bleaching and reef death has increased around the world over the past three decades, raising questions about the future of coral reef ecosystems.
In the study, researchers used global sea surface temperature output from the NOAA/GFDL Earth System Model-2 for the pre-industrial period though 2100 to project rates of coral bleaching.

'Hunt your stand' is good advice.
When we imagine ourselves deer hunting, the mental image is formed around where we shoot from — our stand; whether up a tree, or in a ground blind.
And there we dream of where we expect the deer to appear, first as moving legs, a brown body, or the white glint of antlers.
Our thoughts are all about the stand.
We know that hunting a stand with the wrong wind (a wrong wind, defined as a wind blowing our scent directly into the area where we expect the deer to be coming from), is unproductive most of the time and worse, greatly reduces our chances the next day or so in that particular stand.
Whitetails learn.
As deer hunters, we define our success to a large degree by seeing whitetails.
And deer hunters who take a different approach to their stands tend to see more deer.
The hike (or ATV ride) into the woods from the truck or camp to the stand seems a simple thing, right? Just walk to the stand at first light, or in the late afternoon, and get set up, ready for "show time."
What else should we do? Why is the approach to the stand so important?
There are a number of reasons: but first of all, as soon as your feet hit the leaves, you are in the whitetails' world.
Mr. Whitetail is there 24-7, 365 day a year. And the best of us are still part-timers.
Loud talking, lights, slamming of doors at the truck or camp sometimes carries a lot further than we think, especially with the wind at our back.
And scent immediately begins penetrating the woods, as soon as we arrive, hanging on the leaves and brush, traveling over and through the thickets, and always preceding us to where we expect to set up.
So our noise and scent gets to the deer before we do, except for those times when we are exceptionally lucky and the wind is in our face.
Whitetails pattern us as we do them, often more so.
All these human odors, left along a trail to a stand, especially on consecutive visits, alert older deer to our presence.
Old scent, medium-age scent, along with new scent sets a bell off in an old doe's head that she should change her pattern (not to mention a hunter-wise buck.)
Secondly, by going in at first light, without caution and some rudimentary precautions, even if the deer are not evident, our scent is often blown into the woods, spooking Mr. And Mrs. Whitetail.
These deer warn others, and they in turn warn others as they stomp and snort away. Those are chemical emails they leave, warning of danger with every bound, every time a hoof hits the forest floor.
Page 2 of 2 - We are like a pebble thrown into a pond, and the concentric ripples and rings last for a while from our passing.
And thirdly, by taking a literal, different approach to the stand, not only will there be less chance of spooking the deer we want to hunt, but we incorporate a minor scouting mission into the hunt too.
Too often, hunters get "locked" into a stand or two and miss reading key deer sign that tips us off to changes in their movement patterns.
During hunting season, food sources change quickly. And what was hot one week, could "go dead" two weeks later.
The long way around can be a learning experience.
A good mindset to have is "hunt your stand." Sneak up on it as if it were a bedded deer. Hook around downwind.
Sometimes I will circle an entire woodlot from where my truck, is parked in order to approach the preferred setup spot from the right wind direction. Other times I will climb a steep ridge, then drop all the way down, circling the entire area where I think the deer are staging.
Most of us have a few tree stands to hunt and we try to "play the wind" to minimize the impact on the whitetails we are after.
Try a different approach, even if it is the long way around, it just very well may be a shortcut in the long run to tagging your whitetail.

UA suspends fraternity under investigation
TUCSON, Ariz. — A University of Arizona fraternity whose members included
a student who fell to his death is being investigated for allegations of hazing
and serving alcohol to minors.
University officials said Wednesday that Phi Gamma Delta fraternity has been
suspended from conducting any on-campus activity.
The school said chapter members of the fraternity, commonly known as Fiji, also
allegedly conspired to not cooperate with university officials and police.
Phi Gamma Delta's national office said it is cooperating with the school.
Authorities said 19-year-old Michael Evan Anderson was legally drunk when he
climbed up a 20-foot tall ventilation tower on April 4.
They said he was about halfway up when he fell onto the rooftop.
Campus police have been trying to determine if the fraternity played a role in
Anderson's death.

Trya Banks feels unhappy with models' ways
Supermodel Tyra Banks, who mentors models in her show "America's Next Top Model" is upset with how some of them relentlessly try to lose weight to fetch plum assignments, post the show.
Banks said that the contestants get happy and excited to enter modelling professionally once they leave from her show, but then they lose a lot of weight for getting work.
"When they leave they're excited; they're like, 'Yay, I'm going to start modelling.' And then they get in the real world, and they're like, 'My agent is saying I need to lose 20lbs (9 kg).' I'll see them four months later and they are a bone. A bone. It's just like, 'What'," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Banks as saying.
"Then I realise that they were in this beautiful incubator of safety, but then when they leave the competition, they're out there with the wolves, and to compete, they have to lose that weight. That's a sad fact," she said.
Banks is also the co-creator of "True Beauty" and even hosted her own talk show "The Tyra Banks Show".

Jobs being missed. Listed as Superseded
Hi all,
Having even more issues with Backup Exec 2012. (Should have stayed with 2010, but that's a rant for another day)
We have two Backups scheduled that are displaying the same issue.
For example, one job is configured as:
Full Backup to Disk - Weekly on Saturday 6am.
Incremental to Disk - Daily at 12AM
Duplicate - All Backups - Weekly on Tuesday at 6am
Over the few days, the Incremental jobs are being Missed. The Status in BE console is:
Full : Ready;No idle devices are available
Incremental : Superseded
Duplicate : Scheduled
There are no active jobs currently, so not sure why it can't find an idle device.
And, why is the Incremental superseded?
How can I find out why the Disk media claims it is busy?
Has anyone else had this issue and managed to resolve it?
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Have you stopped the BE services and restarted them? BE 2012 wouldn't have policies, but I do know that with previous versions where a policy would be used, this error would crop up when a Monthly backup wouldn't run for instance if a Weekly backup was...it would either run once the previous job completed, or after a service restart.
You don't mention whether or not your media server is patched, and if not, run LiveUpdate and install all available updates.

Obama stealing gun owners' freedom: NRA
LaPierre also accused the US president of wanting to put "every private personal firearms transaction right under the thumb of the federal government."Over the past four years, the NRA, America's top-gun lobby, has repeatedly said that Obama wants to take away Americans' rights to own guns, a charge the president denies. The debate over gun control has intensified in the US after Newtown elementary school massacre. On December 14, 2012, twenty children and six adult victims were fatally shot by a gunman -- who later killed himself -- at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in the town of Newtown in the US state of Connecticut. Earlier in the day, the assailant killed his mother in another location. There have been reports that the twenty-year-old killer, Adam Lanza, suffered from a personality disorder, was on the antidepressant Prozac, and was fond of first-person shooter games. Every year, more than 30,000 people are shot and killed in the US. The US averages 87 gun deaths each day as a function of gun violence, with an average of 183 injured, according to the University of Chicago Crime Lab and the Centers for Disease Control. The year 2012 was a record setting year for gun sales in the US. About 4.5 million firearms are sold annually in the US at a cost of 2 to 3 billion dollars. MN/MHB

Gay or lesbian domestic partners who want to serve together in the Peace Corps may start applying for assignments this summer.
"Service in the Peace Corps is a life-defining leadership experience for Americans who want to make a difference around the world," Carrie Hessler-Radelet, deputy director of the Peace Corps, said Tuesday.
She announced that gay couples can begin their Peace Corps application process as of Monday June 3.
"I am proud that the agency is taking this important step forward to allow same-sex domestic partners to serve overseas together," she said.
Married couples have been serving together in the Peace Corps since its inception in 1961.
Currently, 7 percent of Peace Corps assignments are filled by married volunteers who offer services in the fields of education, health, economic development, environment, agriculture and youth development.
Same-sex couples seeking joint assignments will have to sign an affidavit to verify their relationship as part of their documentation requirements.
Couples seeking to serve together must apply at the same time and qualify for assignments at the same post, the agency noted.

SALISBURY — A 43-year-old man is in critical condition after trying to put out a fire in his home, according to the Office of the Maryland State Fire Marshal.
The Fire Marshals Office ruled the fire in the 27900 block of Riverside Drive Extension outside of Salisbury as an accidental cooking grease fire.
James Harrington, the owner of the home, suffered burn injuries and smoke inhalation and was brought to Peninsula Regional Medical Center, according to the Fire Marshals Office. He was then brought to the Bayview Burn Center for additional treatment, where he is in critical condition, the Fire Marshals Office said.
The fire in the single-family home on Wednesday at about 8:22 p.m. is estimated to have caused about $15,000 in structural damage and $5,000 in damage to contents.

Yes, Karl Rove is still working his magic in the background. The best line comes from Obama's 2008 DNC acceptance speech: "If you don't have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from."
Nice, advert, strong, compelling, far too long for television, far too long for undecided to sit through and ending with a wholly inaccurate statement.
We may criticize Obama for much but he has been a very strong leader. You're just not focused on who he is leading.
His stimulus package funded almost every Democrat pet project. His healthcare take over put on clearly on track to single payer, no private healthcare. His administration is running the cabinets while dodging Senate approvals. His foreign policy is quickly reducing our place in the world and emboldening others.
And that's not even broaching what his regulatory overhaul is accomplishing.
He is a very strong leader. Just not for what you want.
I would contrast this with the House leadership who control all the purse strings for almost everything the President does and have done nothing to stop him.
That's weak leadership.

If you saw any haunted houses this weekend over Halloween, you will appreciate these abandoned Russian houses. They may not be haunted, but there certainly is something haunting about them.
According to Charles & Hudson and Beach Bungalow 8, these houses have been abandoned, although they don't say when. Surprisingly, the interiors seem to have held up well, and the exteriors, although a little worn, still show a faded beauty.
So where did the inhabitants go? That's unknown, but it is interesting that there currently are not people living in the houses. These houses continue to sit deep in the Russian woods, 300 miles northeast of Moscow.
These houses don't use an architectural style we see very often here, but some of the interiors have pieces and elements that look fresh and modern. The red hutch in the photo below would not look out of place in a farmhouse-style kitchen.
What these houses' histories are, we do not know, but their romance and grandeur remain.

Welcome to the 27th edition of Arbitration World, a publication from K&L Gates' International Arbitration Group that highlights significant developments and issues in international and domestic arbitration for executives and in-house counsel with responsibility for dispute resolution.
In this edition, we include articles specifically relevant to the "MINT" countries of Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey, tipped as the next economic giants by ex-Goldman Sachs economist Jim O'Neill who coined the term "BRIC " countries back in 2001. We look at energy reform in Mexico and its potential impact on commercial and investor-state dispute resolution and a recent decision regarding threshold jurisdictional requirements applicable to bilateral investment treaty (BIT) claims, with particular reference to Indonesia. We review some recent decisions of the Nigerian courts which offer support for arbitration, and current trends and future prospects for arbitration in Turkey.
More generally, we survey the tricky issues that can arise with respect to corruption and bribery in international arbitration. We examine the recent ruling by the Supreme Court of India in the Enercon India case and its implications on the drafting of arbitration agreements. We report on a recent case from Texas regarding the implications of allowing the deadline for rendering an arbitration award to pass. We also provide our usual update on developments from around the globe in international arbitration and investment treaty arbitration.

Tully and I are catabrating our 7th birthday today - thank you to everyfur who stopped by to pawty with us. Mewow!
We received some pawsome birthday pics from Callie Rose and Rory and Furmily (thank you guys). Wish we could share them with you, but the Photo Manager won't let us upload the pics right now...we will try again later.
Love you all. Thanks for thinking of us on our special day!
Luke and Tully
Thank you to all our sweet furiends who stopped by to remember me and Tully on our Gotcha Day on October 18th. We were very touched to receive so many nice pictures, gifts, and messages.
We're not too sure who is still around on Catster; there's not as much activity here as there used to be, so we are always thrilled when we hear from a furiend. We're not here as much as we used to be, but we still try and peek in every now and then and see who has pawed a diary or celebrated a special occasion.
We are hopeful that the new owners will get this site working again and are disappointed that the log in issue is still not fixed. Tully's page will only display 10 photos even though we are Plus members, so unfurtunately we are unable to upload any new pictures - bummer. Mom wrote HQ a couple of times about it, but all they could say was "the problem you're having with being recognized for over 10 photos as a Plus member is related to the log in issue, which the Techno Cats are busy working on. They believe they are getting close to a solution. Let's hope they find it soon. Thanks for your continued patience."
We hope everypawdy is doing well. It's still furry hot and dry here in Catifornia so we are purring like crazy that we get some rain soon.
Thanks again for the Gotcha Day wishes!
Luke & Tully
Yahoo, today is my 6th Birthday! Tully's Birthday, too! We are hanging out and chilling with our peeps today and fur sibs, Sammy and Natasha, receiving lots of attention and treats. Thanks to all our pals who have stopped by with birthday wishes, presents, and treats, we love you all ♥
If you get a chance, please stop by our pal Fuzz's page - she is Catster's Cat of the Day! Concats to Fuzz !

It's high summer now, with the library's summer reading clubs in full swing and the Fourth of July right around the corner. Marla Frazee's award-winning picture book, "A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever," captures the best of summer from a kid's point of view.
James and Eamon are spending the week with James's grandparents so they can attend nature camp. While Grandfather Bill tries his best to interest the boys in Antarctica, and Grandmother Pam fills them with banana waffles and ice cream sundaes, the boys enjoy all kinds of fun, most of it unrelated to nature camp. Identifying birds? They have more fun training their binoculars on each other's freckles. Sleeping in the basement on the blow-up mattress, playing video games, and eating more banana waffles are the highlights of their week.
After 17 years of deliveries, through rain, sleet, and snow, down country lanes to the remote regions of the CRRL service area, the CRRL's last bookmobile retires today, June 30, 2010.
Most books set in the time of King Arthur are fantasies focusing on Merlin's magicks, glittering armor, and tragic, high-flown affairs of the heart. As the title implies, The Killing Way is not one of those books.
Our hero is not a king's son like Lancelot or a wily wizard. His name is Malgwyn ap Cuneglas, and before the Saxons overran his village, killing his beloved wife, he was simply a farmer. For revenge, he gladly and madly joined up with young Lord Arthur's band to slay as many Saxons as possible. He proved an able and trusted lieutenant and for a while peace is restored to the land though at a terrible price for Malgwyn.
This week, three "new" breeds were recognized by the American Kennel Club to the 164 already recognized. All three could be good family dogs for the right family, but each one requires firm training, early socialization, and lots of activity to allow it to lead the best life possible. From Iceland to Germany to Italy, these breeds' official American recognition has come slowly but is certainly sweet as all three have been the verge of extinction.
The farmer's market beckons us with spring's arugula, peas, and asparagus and continues its siren call until the fall's first frost. We return with bags overflowing with berries, new potatoes, sugar snap peas, and herbs to plant in the garden. Of course there are tried-and-true recipes that we fall back on each year to use up the produce, but new inspiration is always welcome. Southern Living's new Farmer's Market Cookbook is a great resource for "celebrat[ing] the seasons with fresh-from-the-farm recipes."
The cookbook is divided by season and then further subdivided by appetizers, beverages, main dishes, soups, side dishes, jams/jellies, salads, and desserts. The format is lovely, with beautiful pictures enticing you to recreate the recipe. There are plenty of recipes that employ such typical Virginia bounty as tomatoes and zucchini, but there are also more exotic subjects like mangoes and avocadoes.
Since we are at the beginning of summer at the time of this review, here are the recipes I plan to try in the next two months: Blackberry Iced Tea, Pan-Seared Trout with Italian Style Salsa, Gazpacho, Skillet Creamed Corn, and Summer Squash Casserole. We have peach trees in the backyard, so I think I'll try the Grilled Peach-and-Mozzarella Salad as well. The Tomato-Cucumber Salad should nicely take care of extra cukes and tomatoes from the garden. Then I can look forward to fall's scrumptious apple recipes. (See a selection of recipes online).

After Ever After by Jordan Sonnenblick
Tad Ibsen is a scrawny kid who walks into the classroom on crutches, muttering angrily to himself, with a huge red scar across the side of his head. Why does the teacher seat the new kid next to Jeffrey Alper? "Suddenly I get it," Jeffrey explains to the reader. "I don't always catch on so fast, but this time, I put two and two together…I lean over and whisper, 'Hi, I'm Jeffrey. I had cancer, too.' He looks at me like I'm a particularly loathsome slice of school-lunch meat loaf and says, 'Wow, congratulations! What do you want, a medal?'" Of course, they're best friends from that moment on.
Come join the Central Rappahannock Regional Library as we present Beach Blanket Bingo, the first film in the Sun and Sand film Series at the Headquarters Library on Saturday, June 26th at 2:00 pm.
Children's books are never too far from the minds of children's librarians. On a recent hiking trip to the North Carolina mountains, a phrase from a children's verse got stuck in my head: "We're going on a bear hunt, we're going to catch a big one, it's a beautiful day, we're not scared!"
