The energy on the planet, especially in the U.S. is very intense right now. That intensity has found its way into my life, even as I have done my best to stay positive and anchored in love. What has been the most difficult thing for me is feeling so judged by people when I express my views, which are positive, hopeful and anchored in the vibration of love. I ask those who lash out to take responsibility for their own emotions, and they lash out more.
Finally, I resolve to disconnect from those who are expressing such hostility. But often they chose to disconnect from me first because of their disappointment in me.
I am healing some pretty deep wounds; as are we all, and one of the most difficult things to experience is feeling judged and having people disappointed in me. It triggers my core shame. I don't like the way I feel. I want people to like me! I want to be accepted. I want to be approved of. But this is being challenged right now.
The true reality we all live in, comes from within us. No two of us truly live in the same reality. Our inner reality comes from how we view the world. Do we believe we live in a friendly, or a hostile Universe? Do we see the glass as half empty or half full? Do we see there are two sides to every argument; or are we one sided? Is it our goal to align with love? Or to passionately hold to our fear and anger?
I admit I am afraid when I feel I have disappointed others. My shame is rooted in fear. There is a fear of not being good enough. The fear of being unlovable. But I have to remind myself; it is my small, ego self that is aligning with fear and I gently bring myself back to love. In the vibration of love, we can't help but feel our intrinsic value in the world.
Sometimes when we hold the light, we have the experience of being attacked by what the light reveals.
I am a woman who speaks her truth and puts it out there for all to see, in the form of books, articles and podcasts. Whenever we express our truth, some people are triggered by it, and the first reaction is to lash out at the one who triggers you. I have had to experience that backlash for years now. One would think I would get used to it. But it can still feel really ugly! The innocent little child, within me is still shocked by the ugliness of some people's words. She thinks "why can't they just be nice?"
Ultimately I have to "be nice" to myself and do my very best not to take other's personally. As long as I find the courage to put myself "out there" for public consumption, I must risk the backlash.
With the election results, the reactions are amping up. I don't dare speak how I feel without the risk of crucifixion. I don't dare say "Hey, maybe it won't be so bad! There are some positive things happening right now in the world." If I say anything positive about Trump, I get accused of being a "Trump Supporter" and the rage falls upon me. "How could you support Trump, when he is a racist, sexist, narcissist and you are a specialist in narcissistic abuse?"
How many people who accuse me, really know my heart? An assumption is being made that has no basis in reality.
It is my intention to anchor myself in a positive and loving energy during a very tumultuous time. I am no Pollyanna, but I have learned a thing or two on my very long journey on the "Path Back to Self." I've learned that what we give our attention to is what grows in our reality. The more we sit around hating and fearing, the more our reality takes on the vibration of hate and fear, and the more of that we see in the world. On the other hand, the more we align with love and that heart energy, the more love we see in the world.
I just finished singing a few of my new songs at a Unity congregation. It was so powerful to sing these songs about coming together in the energy of love, and having a whole group of people completely "get it!" YES! The love in that room was so strong. There were tears! There was healing! My heart was bursting open! It feels so good to be received after feeling so attacked.
But still I must realize. Whether my voice triggers love or hostility, neither one really have anything to do with me. It is simply what my presence triggers. It just feels so much better to have my presence trigger an open heart and a pouring out of that good "love" energy!
I will continue to be true to myself and speak what is in my heart. I will do my best to be allowing of others being exactly where they are and not take it personally. I have to keep reminding myself. "This is not about me!"
I really have to practice letting go of my attachment to other people's reality. It is okay they think, feel, believe as they do. It is their choice! It is their reality! And…it has nothing whatsoever to do with me!
The reality right now is Trump is our new President! We can't change that! Well, some people are trying.
The Serenity Prayer says "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
Whether we like it or not….Trump is President. Now what are we going to do with our energy? Are we going to continue campaigning? Are we going to continue slinging hate and judgement at each other? Are we going to find others to discharge our fear onto? Or are we going to find the courage to change what we can?
We may not be able to change a Trump presidency; but we can change our inner reality and where we focus our attention.
Maybe some are just not ready yet, and that is okay. It is okay to be in shock, disbelief, and to be afraid. It is not okay to lash out at others because you are in shock, disbelief or fear. Be wherever you are. Just take responsibility for your words and actions. Be where you are and allow others to be where they are.
I am making a conscious choice to align with the energy of love and not fear. This is where I am! Join me if you would like. I would love your company!

Sydney Cricket Ground - SCG
Sydney's pre-eminent and most beloved sporting coliseum, the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) has come a long way in its 134 year history. The land that began as sand hills and swamplands – prime hunting and fishing territory for the Gadigal tribes – has since borne witness to some of Australia's most amazing sporting feats and many of the world's greatest entertainers. But although the Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson and Madonna have all staged shows here, it is as an action arena that the SCG is most justly famous. As a cricket ground, it hosted Don Bradman's world record 452 not out in 1930 and the very first One-Day cricket game under lights in 1978. As football field, it squeezed in 78,056 people for St George v South Sydney in 1965, and shook to the rafters in 1996 when Tony Lockett kicked the Sydney Swans into their first Grand Final in over six decades. In between it has hosted the Empire Games, A-League soccer and even Highland Dancing knees-ups. Today, it is the active home ground of the NSW Blues cricket team in summer and the Sydney Swans AFL squad through winter and, all year round, the spiritual home to Sydney rugby league and rugby union... and all Sydney sports lovers.
Sydney Olympic Park Sports Centre
The Sydney Olympic Sports Centre consists of two venues, the Main Arena and the Hall of Legends. Both can seat up to 5000 people and can accommodate up to thirty different indoor sports.

Have more than one boat? Tie up the boat on our buoy located just out from the pier.

For those who are just looking for a quiet getaway, you can make a nice fire in one of the outside chimneys or in the expansive fire place inside.

The owners are a husband and wife with family who love the Truckee and Donner Lake area.
The Owner purchased this house in 2005
We bought this wonderful property based upon it being on the lake and on the sunny side of Donner Lake. The sunny side of Donner Lake also provides easier access during the winter months.
Sitting out on large deck enjoying the scenery, wildlife, quiet times, boating and swimming in the clear clean lake. There is a professionally cleaned hot tub located in the same large deck that is situated to enjoy the lake while still maintaining privacy.
The lakehouse is awesome. The views can't be beat. I think the decks were the best part of the house with a grill and hot tub. Fishing was nonexistent from the dock or a boat so that was a disappointment. The beds were a little hard but the kitchen was filled with spices and essentials which was nice. It was lovely to just hang out with our kids for the week. So much to do!
This was the first time here for our annual family gathering. The dock on the lake enabled water sports, and lake fishing. Out the front door and we could be on a bike path. There were numerous options nearby including golf and fly fishing. Also visited shops and beer pubs in Truckee and Tahoe City. The numerous options allowed each of us to "do our own thing" while gathering for the evening together. Greatly enjoyed our stay.
The good, house is really great. Big living room with fabulous view of lake and nice seating area. great dining area and fine kitchen, although a bit small for more than two people at a time and its a flat top stove but certainly adequate. House has one bedroom upstairs three down. TVs in different bedrooms was a great touch. We were 2 teens and 5 adults there was plenty of together and alone space.
Since the house is right of the main road around the lake access was very easy even with heavy snow. However this is the not so good also. We have rented a house in the Donner Lake area for years usually on one of the quiet streets I missed not being able to walk out the front door for an evening walk in the snow. And the houses are right next to each other which was fine in winter.. However taking a hot tub did make up.for that. Concenses was that we would like to return in the summer and again in winter.
Our family had an amazing time paddle boarding, hanging on the beach, and sitting by the camp fire. The house was perfect...very comfortable, to die for location, and nicely appointed. We will definitely be back next year!
This was a great home to visit with friends and family. Right on the water with a great deck and dock over the lake. We plan on returning to the lake every year with friends and family and we will definitely stay at this home again. Highly recommended.
Amazing out door spaces - we hope to return when the weather is warmer . Layout of house and decks/dock means that different activities can be enjoyed at same time.

I found Mr Cadier to be very courteous, friendly and knowledgable. He does not push what he thinks your nose should look like, but really listens to what you want and advises how this (or as close to it) can be achieved. His bedside manner is excellent and I was never made to feel rushed at any of my appointments - he will take the time you need to put you at ease for your operation and give you as much information as you require. Very knowledgeable and skilled surgeon, cannot recommend highly enough!

Ex-Microsoft CEO Ballmer buys NBA's LA Clippers for $2 billion
30 May 2014 [15:30] -
Former Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) CEO Steve Ballmer has purchased the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers franchise for $2 billion, a record for a professional basketball team, sole trustee Shelly Sterling announced on Friday.
In a news release from Greenberg Glusker, Sterling's counsel, she said she had signed a binding contract to sell the team to Ballmer on behalf of the The Sterling Family Trust, which owns the club.
"I am delighted that we are selling the team to Steve, who will be a terrific owner. We have worked for 33 years to build the Clippers into a premiere NBA franchise. I am confident that Steve will take the team to new levels of success."
The agreement will need to be approved by the National Basketball Association's Board of Governors before it is finalized. The NBA did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
"I will be honored to have my name submitted to the NBA Board of Governors for approval as the next owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. I love basketball," Ballmer said in a statement. "And I intend to do everything in my power to ensure that the Clippers continue to win – and win big – in Los Angeles."
On Thursday, Ballmer outbid two groups, one led by media mogul David Geffen that offered $1.6 billion and included TV talk show maven Oprah Winfrey and Oracle Corp (ORCL.N) CEO Larry Ellison, a source close to the process told Reuters. A group of Los Angeles investors also bid $1.2 billion for the team.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch acted as the financial advisor in the deal, Sterling's statement said.
The Clippers came up for sale after the NBA banned owner Donald Sterling for life because of racist remarks he made in a recorded conversation that was leaked last month to entertainment news website TMZ.com.
Donald Sterling's attorney, Maxwell Blecher, told The New York Times earlier that he would have to approve the sale. Blecher did not immediately respond to request for comment on Friday.
Ballmer's winning bid was raised from an initial $1.8 billion offer made earlier on Thursday, according to the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. If approved, the deal would be second only to the $2.15 billion paid in 2012 for baseball's Los Angeles Dodgers.
"It's no wonder the prices are so high," said sports consultant Ed Desser, a former president of NBA Television and New Media Ventures. "There just aren't enough teams for all the billionaires who want them."
Sterling, a Los Angeles-area real estate developer, paid $12.5 million in 1981 for the Clippers, which were then located in San Diego.
Ballmer, 58, who retired as Microsoft CEO in February, remains on the board and still owns about 4 percent of the Redmond, Washington-based software giant, worth $13.4 billion.
Last year, he joined a group that unsuccessfully bid on the Sacramento Kings basketball team. A long-time basketball fan, until a few years ago he played a regular pickup game with other Microsoft colleagues at a public gym near the Microsoft campus.[ID:nL1N0EH1W7]
It is unclear how the team's potential sale will affect a June 3 hearing the NBA scheduled at which Donald Sterling can address the accusations against him. At that meeting, the owners could force him to sell the team on a vote by 23 of the remaining 29 owners, the NBA has said.
Maxwell Blecher, Sterling's lawyer, said in an interview with CNN that his client is prepared to file suit to fight the charges, but that he intended to wait for communication from the NBA before deciding when and whether to do so.

CLAUDE JACKSON, PLAINTIFF,v.MICHAEL J. ASTRUE,*FN1 COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, DEFENDANT.
Plaintiff Claude Jackson ("plaintiff") brings this action pursuant to §205(g) of the Social Security Act (the "Act"), codified at 42 U.S.C. §§ 405(g). Plaintiff seeks review of the final decision of the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration ("Commissioner") denying plaintiff's claim for disability insurance benefits ("DIB") under the Act. Specifically, plaintiff alleges that the decision of Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") John T. Yeary in denying plaintiff's application for benefits was against the weight of substantial evidence contained in the record and contrary to applicable legal standards.
The Commissioner moves for judgment on the pleadings pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(c), arguing that the ALJ's decision was supported by substantial evidence. For the reasons set forth below, the court finds that substantial evidence supports the ALJ's decision. Accordingly, the decision of the Commissioner is confirmed.
I. PROCEDURAL HISTORY and FACTS
Plaintiff, who worked as a farm machine mechanic (Tr. at 117), was at his workplace on December 9, 2002 when he bent over to weld some equipment and injured his back. Tr. at 174-75; 142. The following recitation of the procedural history and facts of this case are taken from the complaint, trial briefs, and the administrative record. Where the parties' rendering of the facts differs from the record, where facts are omitted, or in the interest of clarification, the facts will be supplemented as needed by undisputed facts from the record.
A. Procedural History
On September 19, 2003, plaintiff filed an application for Social Security Disability Benefits ("DIB"), alleging disability due to back problems stemming from the December 9, 2002 workplace incident. Tr. at 42-4. Plaintiff's application was denied. Tr. at 34-7. Plaintiff made a timely request for a hearing before an ALJ. Tr. at 38. The hearing was held on September 30, 2004. On October 25, 2004, the ALJ issued a partially favorable decision, finding that plaintiff was disabled for a closed period of time from December 9, 2002 to April 12, 2004, but after April 12, 2004, "the claimant was not under a 'disability,' as defined in the Social Security Act (20 C.F.R. § 404.1520(g))." Tr. at 23. Plaintiff appealed the ALJ's decision. On July 29, 2005, the Appeals Council denied plaintiff's request for review. Tr. at 4-6. Plaintiff asked for court review of the ALJ's decision by filing this civil action.
B. Facts
At the time of the ALJ's decision, plaintiff was a 51-year-old male, with a date of birth listed as January 29, 1953 (Tr. at 17, 42). Following the workplace incident set forth supra, plaintiff was seen on December 10, 2002 by Stephen Strasser, M.D., at the Sharon Springs Health Center. At that time, Dr. Strasser advised plaintiff to apply moist heat and liniment, and to take ibuprofen for pain.
Tr. at 129. On January 21, 2003, Dr. Strasser prescribed the muscle relaxant Flexeril for pain. Tr. at 127.
Dr. Strasser referred plaintiff to Century Imaging for a lumbar MRI on February 3, 2003, which revealed "multi-level degenerative disc and facet disease as described*fn2 (mild)" and "left sided somewhat broad based L4-5 disc herniation. The lesion effaces the left anterolateral thecal sac at the origin of the left L5 nerve root and narrows the proximal left neural foramen." The MRI also indicated "left sided eccentric disc bulging at L5-S1." Tr. at 131. Plaintiff was referred for a neurosurgical consultation, and on February 12, 2003, plaintiff was evaluated by Gregory Frevele, RPA-C,*fn3 and John Wahlig, M.D. Plaintiff was diagnosed as having "improved low back and left leg pain that responded well to conservative measures. MRI reveals evidence of a far lateral left L2-3 disk [sic] herniation as well as a broad-based left-sided L4-5 bulging/herniation with a foraminal component, the latter of which is likely the etiology of his current complaints. As long as he is continuing to improve it is not felt that there is any indication for consideration of neurosurgical intervention at this time ...." Tr. at 143. Dr. Wahlig reevaluated plaintiff again on February 22, 2003, and recommended physical therapy for low back conditioning and strengthening, which plaintiff said had helped him previously. Dr. Wahlig noted that if plaintiff's symptoms didn't lessen with physical therapy, plaintiff might need epidural steroid injections. Tr. at 137.
On March 17, 2003, plaintiff was examined by Dr. James W. Nelson pursuant to his Workers' Compensation claim. Dr. Nelson stated that plaintiff "impresses me as a person in considerable discomfort." Dr. Nelson diagnosed a left L4-5 disc herniation with a left radicular component, causally related to the December 9, 2002 incident*fn4 , and opined that plaintiff had a marked, partial and temporary disability. Tr. at 117-19.
On April 25, 2003, Dr. Strasser provided plaintiff's counsel with a functional ability assessment that stated that plaintiff had a moderate-marked causally related partial disability in the degree of 66 2/3%. Dr. Strasser also added work restrictions of "no lifting or bending," and "no prolonged sitting." Tr. at 164. At a follow-up visit on June 5, 2003, Dr. Strasser wrote, "[w]ill see if we can improve things with nerve-altering medications and longer acting NSAIDS ... Of note, after the visit, patient walked out of the room quite comfortably." Dr. Strasser prescribed a combination of Neurotin and Peroxicam. Tr. at 123-24. On his follow-up visit to Dr. Strasser on July 14, 2003, plaintiff reported that he was feeling better. Tr. at 123.
On August 5, 2003, plaintiff returned to Dr. Nelson for assessment, who noted that plaintiff was no longer having physical therapy. After examination, Dr. Nelson found a moderate, partial and temporary disability. Tr. at 113-15. Dr. Nelson opined that although he couldn't state when plaintiff would be able to return to his regular job, "plaintiff should be able to return to a clerical or sedentary job. He could perform any job that did not require him to repeatedly bend to reach items less than 24 inches off the floor or lift anything heavier than 30 pounds." Tr. at 115.
On a September 18, 2003 office visit, Dr. Strasser wrote that plaintiff was "really no better." Plaintiff had increased his pain medication Neurontin to 300 mg. three times a day but found that it made him sleepy during the day. Plaintiff was complaining of muscle spasms and tightness. Dr. Strasser opined that the pain was muscular or tendinous in etiology. Dr. Strasser decreased the Neurontin to 200 or 100 mg. three times a day, and suggested massage or whirlpool therapy to relax plaintiff's muscles. Tr. at 122.
On November 20, 2003, plaintiff returned to Dr. Strasser for follow-up of back pain. Plaintiff reported that he had seen Dr. Wahlig, who stated that there were no good surgical options. Dr. Wahlig sent plaintiff back to physical therapy. Plaintiff reported that he had good days, then suddenly, without any warning or increased activity, he would have severe increased back pain. Dr. Strasser advised plaintiff to wean himself off the Neurontin as plaintiff did not feel that the Neurontin was making any difference. Dr. Strasser advised plaintiff to continue physical therapy and take his Peroxicam only as necessary, instead of daily. Tr. at 121.
A physical therapy progress note dated November 24, 2003 stated that plaintiff continued to report decreased pain levels. On November 28, 2003, plaintiff reported "two good days in a row." Tr. at 139.
On January 6, 2004, plaintiff was examined by Dr. Richard Adler at the Commissioner's request. Dr. Adler found a history of herniated discs at L4-5, and moderate obesity, and opined that plaintiff was "mildly limited in his ability to perform activities involving lifting or prolonged standing at this time." Tr. at 148.
On February 26, 2004, Dr. Strasser reported "chronic low back pain, some slow improvement ... he remains moderately disabled and is unable to perform work that requires frequent lifting or bending, prolonged standing." Tr. at 162. On March 2, 2004, Dr. Strasser again reported to plaintiff's attorney that plaintiff had a moderate-marked causally related partial disability in the degree of 66 2/3%. Dr. Strasser wrote, "No lifting or repetitive bending," and [what appears to be] "Light level work only." Tr. at 161.
On April 12, 2004, plaintiff was seen by Dr. Strasser for a follow-up of back pain. Plaintiff stated that he was not feeling a significant difference, and had good days and bad days. Dr. Strasser wrote, "Chronic back pain. Things have stabilized. I do not feel it is likely that he will improve in the near future. He is contemplating a return to work, which I think is reasonable with light duty and appropriate restrictions and gradual increase in his activities." Tr. at 160.
On June 16, 2004, Dr. Nelson re-examined plaintiff, and noted that "the examinee readily admits that he is much better. He still has some residual back pain but he no longer has any pain radiating into his left leg." Dr. Nelson diagnosed "[s]ubsiding L4-5 disc herniation." Tr. at 158. Dr. Nelson concluded that "the examinee has a mild degree of disability causally related to the 12/09/02 work related incident. No further treatment is necessary in my estimation. The examinee can return to any job provided he does not have to lift repeatedly items weighing heavier than 30 to 35 pounds, and [does] not have to bend to reach things repeatedly that [are] less than 24 inches off the floor." Tr. at 159.
Subsequent to the hearing in front of the ALJ, plaintiff submitted a December 21, 2004 physical capacity evaluation from Dr. Strasser, reflecting that in an 8-hour workday, plaintiff could sit, stand and walk one to two hours at a time per day, and during the entire day, plaintiff could sit, stand and walk for three hours. Dr. Strasser indicated that "[t]he disability requires the claimant to change positions often (alternate between sitting, standing, lying) at irregular intervals to relive pain." He indicated that "[i]f the claimant were employed in a sedentary job, he would have to leave his work station periodically (at least once every hour) to move about and stretch his legs and back." Dr. Strasser also listed plaintiff's pain as moderate. Tr. at 167.
A. Standard of review
This court does not review a final decision of the Commissioner de novo, but instead "must determine whether the correct legal standards were applied and whether substantial evidence supports the decision." Butts v. Barnhart, 388 F.3d 377, 384 (2d Cir. 2004) (internal citations omitted). See also Halloran v. Barnhart, 362 F.3d 28, 31 (2d Cir. 2004); Balsamo v. Chater, 142 F.3d 75, 79 (2d Cir. 1998). "Substantial evidence" is evidence that amounts to "more than a mere scintilla. It means such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion." Halloran, 362 F.3d at 31 (quoting Richardson v. Perales, 402 U.S. 389, 401, 91 S.Ct. 1420 (1971)). "An ALJ must set forth the crucial factors justifying his findings with sufficient specificity to allow a court to determine whether substantial evidence supports the decision." Gravel v. Barnhart, 360 F.Supp.2d 442, 444-45 (N.D.N.Y. 2005) (citing Ferraris v. Heckler, 728 F.2d 582, 587 (2d Cir. 1984)). When reviewing a determination by the Commissioner, a district court, in its discretion, "shall have the power to enter, upon the pleadings and transcript of record, a judgment affirming, modifying, or reversing the decision of the Commissioner of Social Security, with or without remanding the cause for a rehearing." 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). "The Act must be liberally applied, for it is a remedial statute intended to include [,] not exclude." Cruz v. Sullivan, 912 F.2d 8, 11 (2d Cir. 1990).
B. Disability Defined
An individual is considered disabled for purposes of his or her eligibility for Social Security Disability if he or she is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months[.] 42 U.S.C. § 423(d)(1)(A).
The Commissioner may deem an individual applicant for Social Security Disability to be disabled only if his physical or mental impairment or impairments are of such severity that he is not only unable to do his previous work but cannot, considering his age, education, and work experience, engage in any other kind of substantial gainful work which exists in the national economy, regardless of whether such work exists in the immediate area in which he lives, or whether a specific job vacancy exists for him, or whether he would be hired if he applied for work. 42 U.S.C. § 423(d)(2)(A).
Social Security Administration regulations set forth a five-step sequential evaluation process, by which the Commissioner is to determine whether an applicant for Social Security Disability is disabled pursuant to the aforementioned statutory definition. See 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals summarizes this process as follows: The first step of this process requires the Secretary to determine whether the claimant is presently employed. If the claimant is not employed, the Secretary then determines whether the claimant has a "severe impairment" that limits [his] capacity to work. If the claimant has such an impairment, the Secretary next considers whether the claimant has an impairment that is listed in Appendix 1 of the regulations. When the claimant has such an impairment, the Secretary will find the claimant disabled. However, if the claimant does not have a listed impairment, the Secretary must determine, under the fourth step, whether the claimant possesses the residual functional capacity[*fn5 ] to perform [his] past relevant work. Finally, if the claimant is unable to perform [his] past relevant work, the Secretary determines whether the claimant is capable of performing any other work. If the claimant satisfies [his] burden of proving the requirements in the first four steps, the burden then shifts to the Secretary to prove in the fifth step that the claimant is capable of working.
Brown v. Apfel, 174 F.3d 59, 62 (2d Cir. 1999) (quoting Perez v. Chater, 77 F.3d 41, 46 (2d Cir. 1996)).
The fifth step "requires the [ALJ] to consider the so-called vocational factors (the claimant's age, education, and past work experience), and to determine whether the claimant is capable of performing other jobs existing in significant numbers in the national economy." Quezada v. Barnhart, 2007 WL 1723615 (S.D.N.Y. 2007) (internal quotations omitted).
As a threshold issue, the court emphasizes that 42 U.S.C. § 423(d)(1)(A) specifically states that a person is deemed disabled if he or she is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve months. Substantial work activity is defined as "work activity that involves doing significant physical or mental activities. Your work may be substantial even if it is done on a part-time basis or if you do less, get paid less, or have less responsibility than when you worked before." Gainful work activity is defined as "work activity that you do for pay or profit. Work activity is gainful if it is the kind of work usually done for pay or profit, whether or not a profit is realized." 20 C.F.R. § 404.1572(a) and (b).
C. Analysis
Plaintiff argues three issues before the court. First, plaintiff argues that the Appeals Council committed reversible error in refusing to remand this claim in the face of the attending doctor's post-hearing statement of residual capacity. Second, plaintiff argues that the ALJ's decision, i.e., finding the plaintiff not disabled after April 12, 2004, is lacking in substantial evidence and is contrary to law. Finally, plaintiff argues that the ALJ improperly evaluated plaintiff's credibility, and did not consider the plaintiff's allegation of pain and the resulting limitations. The court considers each argument below.
1. Alleged Reversible Error by the Appeals Council
Plaintiff relates that after the ALJ's decision, plaintiff appealed that decision to the Appeals Council on November 9, 2004. In that appeal, plaintiff argued that Dr. Strasser's assessment of "light duty" was vague, and consequently it could not be determined if Dr. Strasser's assessment of his patient's ability to perform light duty was the same as the light work definition in the Social Security Regulations. Plaintiff now argues that pursuant to the SSA medical/vocational grids, "for an individual over 50 years of age with no transferable skills, the difference between being able to perform 'sedentary' as opposed to 'light' work is essentially the difference between being disabled and being not disabled." Doc. No. 5, p. 10.
Plaintiff obtained the physical capacities evaluation form, referenced above, from Dr. Strasser, dated December 2, 2004, and submitted it to the Appeals Council on December 16, 2004. Plaintiff included a further request to the Appeals Council, asking that it remand the case based on Dr. Strasser's specific limitations, which plaintiff argues would make even sedentary work questionable. Plaintiff argues that "[a]ny ambiguity concerning the doctor's opinion was resolved by this assessment." Id., p. 11. Plaintiff argues that the ALJ was "under a duty to scrupulously develop the record giving due regard to the opinion of the treating doctor and appropriately discounting the opinion of a doctor who is hired by a party which has a vested interest in minimizing the Claimant's condition." Id., p. 11-12.
The Commissioner argues that "[w]here new and material evidence is submitted to the Appeals Council, as here, the Appeals Council will consider additional evidence only where it relates to the period on or before the date of the ALJ's decision, and will then review the case if it finds that the ALJ's conclusion is contrary to the weight of the decision." Doc. No. 6 at 17 (citing 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.967*fn6 and 404.970). The Commissioner argues that Dr. Strasser's 2004 opinion is not material because it was rendered two months after the date of the AlJ's decision, does not appear to relate back to the relevant period, and thus, was not relevant to the period at issue before the ALJ. The Commissioner proffers that it is conceivable that the plaintiff experienced new injuries or aggravations of his older ones after the ALJ's decision, and that this could be the basis of Dr. Strasser's opinion. The court concurs, and notes that the facts of this case, as set forth above, show a timeline of continual improvement in plaintiff's condition up to and including the time of the hearing. Dr. Strasser's December 2004 opinion is an anomaly based on that timeline. The Commissioner correctly asserts that "while Dr. Strasser's opinion should not be considered as part of plaintiff's current application for benefits, plaintiff may nonetheless file a new application based upon Dr. Strasser's report." Doc. No. 6 at p. 19. The court finds that there was no reversible error in the Appeals Council's failure to remand based on Dr. Strasser's post-hearing opinion.
2. Allegation of Insubstantial Evidence
Plaintiff argues that the ALJ committed several errors of law in his decision of October 25, 2004. Specifically, plaintiff argues that the ALJ relied principally on two medical reports to find that claimant was able to perform light work, one made by an "adversarial" doctor hired by an insurance company [Workers' Compensation] and the other report made by plaintiff's treating physician that was too vague to allow a valid judgment to be made. Doc. No. 5 at pp. 12-14.
The Commissioner argues that substantial evidence supports the ALJ's decision, and asserts that "a longitudinal review of Dr. Strasser's opinions reveals that he imposed fewer and fewer restrictions on plaintiff as time passed." Doc. No. 6 at p. 13. Without reiteration of the facts set forth above, the court finds there is substantial evidence in the record, compiled from all medical reports as well as the plaintiff's own statements, that affirms the ALJ's decision that the plaintiff was disabled for a finite period of time, and slowly and steadily improved to the point that he was no longer disabled pursuant to the Act.
3. Alleged Erroneous Credibility Assessment
Finally, plaintiff argues that the ALJ failed to properly assess the plaintiff's credibility, specifically, that the ALJ didn't consider plaintiff's complaints of pain and resulting limitations. The law is clear on the ALJ's discretion on the issue of pain alleged by a claimant.
The ALJ has the discretion to evaluate the credibility of a claimant and to arrive at an independent judgment, in light of medical findings and other evidence, regarding the true extent of the pain alleged by the claimant. Marcus v. Califano, 615 F.2d 23, 27 (2d Cir.1979). If the findings "are supported by substantial evidence, the court must uphold the ALJ's decision to discount a claimant's subjective complaints of pain." Aponte v. Secretary, Dep't of Health & Human Services, 728 F.2d 588, 591 (2d Cir.1984) ... Where a claimant alleges symptoms of a greater severity of impairment than can be shown by objective medical evidence, other evidence will be considered, including claimant's daily activities and the medications, methods and treatments used to alleviate [his] symptoms. 20 C.F.R. § 416.929(c)(3). It is the function of the Commissioner, not the reviewing court, to "resolve evidentiary conflicts and to appraise the credibility of witnesses, including the claimant." Caroll v. Sec'y of Health and Human Serv., 705 F.2d 638, 642 (2d Cir.1983).
Snyder v. Astrue, 2009 WL 3381556 at * 7 (N.D.N.Y. 2009).
Plaintiff argues that the ALJ failed to consider plaintiff's hearing testimony regarding pain. Defendant argues that the ALJ properly considered plaintiff's allegations of pain and functional limitations by considering factors set forth in the ACT such as daily activities, medications taken for pain, statements that the plaintiff could lift forty pounds, and so forth. The ALJ found that the plaintiff's allegations were credible for the closed period of disability from December 9, 2002 until plaintiff's treating physician released him for light work on April 12, 2004, but not credible as to the argument that he was still disabled after he was released to go back to work.
Plaintiff also argues that the ALJ was in error in his assessment of plaintiff's credibility by considering that plaintiff began receiving unemployment benefits in May of 2004 and was thus holding himself out as able to work. Tr. at 19. Plaintiff argues that he pointed out both at the hearing and in the subsequent appeal that "there is no inconsistency for an individual who is over 50 years old between receiving unemployment benefits and Social Security Disability benefits." Doc. No. 5 at p. 16. However, plaintiff submits no law for this premise in his brief, nor did he submit any law to bolster his point at the hearing or in his appeal. Defendant did not specifically address the issue of the unemployment benefits in that portion of his brief dealing with credibility.
Courts in this circuit have considered a plaintiff's receipt of unemployment benefits for the premise that "the record establishes that Plaintiff was able to work before [his disability onset date] as evidenced by Plaintiff's receipt of unemployment benefits, which requires an ability to work." Rich v. Comm. of Social Sec., 2009 WL 2923254 at * 1 (W.D.N.Y. 2009). Moreover, courts throughout the United States have held that the issue of a plaintiff claiming to be disabled yet drawing unemployment insurance benefits may be considered in determining a plaintiff's credibility. See, e.g., Schmidt v. Barnhart, 395 F.3d 737, 746 (7th Cir. 2005),which stated that "[plaintiff] contends that the ALJ erred when he included [plaintiff's] application for and receipt of unemployment compensation benefits among a long list of factors adversely affecting [plaintiff's] credibility regarding his subjective complaints ... while we have previously held that 'employment is not proof positive of ability to work,' we are not convinced that a Social Security claimant's decision to apply for unemployment benefits and represent to state authorities and prospective employers that he is able and willing to work should play absolutely no role in assessing his subjective complaints of disability." Id. (citing Wilder v. Apfel, 153 F.3d 799, 801 (7th Cir.1998)). See also Jernigan v. Sullivan, 948 F.2d 1070, 1074 (8th Cir. 1991): "We also note that [plaintiff's] application for unemployment compensation benefits adversely affects his credibility. A claimant may admit an ability to work by applying for unemployment compensation benefits because such an applicant must hold himself out as available, willing and able to work ... because his application indicates that [plaintiff] was able to work, this may be some evidence, though not conclusive, to negate his claim that he was disabled ...." Id. In the Sixth Circuit, the court of appeals held that "this court recognize[s] the inherent inconsistency in filing for disability benefits and unemployment benefits. Although Plaintiff argues that this inconsistency should not be embraced, she offers no reasonable explanation of how a person can claim disability benefits under the guise of being unable to work, and yet file an application for unemployment benefits claiming that she is ready and willing to work." Bowden v. Comm. of Social Sec., 174 F.3d 854, 1999 WL 98378 at *8 (6th Cir. 1999). Accordingly, the court finds that although plaintiff's filing for and receipt of unemployment benefits while claiming to be disabled is not proof-positive that plaintiff was no longer disabled, the ALJ properly considered plaintiff's claim for unemployment benefits when assessing plaintiff's credibility. Thus, the court finds no reversible error in the ALJ's consideration of plaintiff's application and eligibility for unemployment benefits.
Finally, plaintiff claims that the ALJ failed to consider plaintiff's long work history in determining plaintiff's credibility. The court notes that the ALJ makes mention of plaintiff's relevant work history (Tr. at 20) but fails to specifically mention plaintiff's twenty two years as a farm equipment mechanic in the credibility assessment. As stated above, the ALJ ultimately found that plaintiff's testimony that he was disabled for the closed period set forth above to be credible, but found plaintiff's testimony that he was disabled after his treating physician released him to return to light duty was less than credible. Tr. at 19. Plaintiff argues that "the ALJ committed reversible error in failing to consider the Claimant's excellent work record in evaluating his credibility" (Doc. No. 5 at p. 17), yet does not submit proof of specifics of an excellent record beyond a recitation of the longevity of plaintiff's employment.
"A claimant with a good work record is entitled to substantial credibility when claiming an inability to work because of a disability." Rivera v. Schweiker, 717 F.2d 719, 725 (2d.Cir 1983). The premise for this finding in Rivera was that evidence of a desire to return to work would emphasize the positive value of a long employment history. Id. However, in the case at bar, plaintiff would not be returning to his previous, familiar job, and at the time plaintiff was released by his treating physician to return to light duty work, plaintiff had been receiving Worker's Compensation benefits for a period of two years while he was unable to work, factors that might lessen the plaintiff's desire to return to work. The court finds that if the ALJ failed to consider plaintiff's work history as one factor in his consideration of plaintiff's credibility, it is harmless error, and substantial evidence in the record affirms the ALJ's credibility assessment.
For the reasons set forth above, the court affirms the findings of the Administrative Law Judge. Accordingly, the Commissioner's motion on the pleadings is hereby GRANTED. The plaintiff's complaint is DISMISSED with prejudice.

[Question] Jolly Roger Hotel?
Tags: None
Re: Jolly Roger Hotel?
I stayed there once a few years ago. I recall it was for the Finding Nemo opening actually.
There are other places in the area that are better. The Jolly Roger wasn't in the greatest of shape when I stayed there, but it was a good deal. If I recall they didn't charge for parking at that time, not sure if that has changed.
Plus it is right across the street from the park, so the walk isn't too bad. Neither is the walk to Gardenwalk, along with a Jolly Roger restaurant next to the hotel and a 7-11 across the street.
Pretty much if you just need a place to sleep at night the Jolly Roger is fine for that.
Re: Jolly Roger Hotel?
Stayed there about a year ago. The bathroom was full of mold and the room was filthy. We complained and was told "if you don't like it, try and find a room somewhere else." (All the hotels were full, that's why we ended up there). Never DID get the room cleaned up. Will never stay there again.Originally posted by migoI poop with joy!

Re: Jolly Roger Hotel?
Stay away. I had MAJOR reservation cancellation problems with them. (They cancelled my reservation and told me basically "so sorry, so sad.") I couldn't stand it there. Stay the h e double hockey sticks away from Jolly Roger! They are NOT so jolly!
Re: Jolly Roger Hotel?
Jolly Roger was the first hotel that I stayed at when my family and I first moved out of California and had to start staying at hotels visiting the resort on all honesty it was not one of the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed at and there was even roaches around the pool area.
I still can not believe that Disneyland still sponser that hotel to be a Good Neighbor Hotel. They quoted me on my reservation one price and when I received my bill I was in for a big surprise, they had never told me about the resort fee.
But in all fairness from what I understand they have remodeled all the rooms, I would also go to tripadvisor.com and type in jolly roger in anaheim and get reveiws, goodluck.

Oh, Leadfarmer snuck in there. It's looking gorgeous, LF.
Thank you. Those plants can manage without being watered all the time, at least, that's the idea! I'm a bit of a plantaholic and garden nut and now I'm not horse riding any more I have more time for the garden.
Pleased with my haircut and the hairdresser is walking distance.
We'll go later, Dove, when you are better. At least you aren't missing good weather today when you are ill. I hope you feel better soon.
Must go and unpack a box, still a couple of unpacked ones from the move here in February.
Morning all. Morning Dove. As it's Classic Roses Rose Festival this weekend I was wondering about tomorrow. But our friends arrive this afternoon and I want to ask them first. But you may not be well enough. We would be happy to go again next week, should be more roses out. And parking would probably be easier. But if you are up to it tomorrow and our friends want to go that's fine too.
Shame it's raining this morning, OH was wondering about going to the Festival at 11am as well today, as Rachel de Thame should be there. He thinks she's pretty. But if she was Darcey Bussell there'd be no stopping him!
Going to get my hair cut. See you later.
Lovely garden photos everyone.
My front border in the cottage in Norfolk has grown while we've been in France. Photos are April and yesterday. There is a lot of bindweed, been treating it with Round Up gel.
Now I understand about the ads on this new site. I didn't get them in France, just a blank waste of space on the right. Here in England they keep flashing up all the time.
Meant to say, now I understand about the ads on this new site. I didn't get them in France, just a blank waste of space on the right. Here in England they keep flashing up all the time.
Had another good day today.
This morning did a lot of spraying and Round Up gelling on bindweed and brambles on the bank over the wall, along the front of the cottage and back of the front border. It was winter when we bought the cottage so hadn't seen the bindweed.
This afternoon we went to Peter Beales Classic Roses. Lovely rose garden, loads of plants and roses for sale and they were preparing for a Rose Festival this weekend so I think we'll go again. The roses will be more in flower in a week or two, but there were plenty out. I was wondering if Dove would go, but now she's not well.
I hope you get better soon Dove, I was hoping to contact you in a few days.
A couple of good friends are coming to stay for a few days tomorrow. I hope they want to go to Peter Beales. We'll probably visit another garden while they are here.
Great photos, Obelixx. We went to Beth Chatto in July last year, interesting to see the difference.
Last year we went to Bressingham in July too, when it was a riot of colour. We went yesterday, still lovely but greener and fresher looking, less colour.
Thank you Yviestevie. Beautiful photos. They bring back happy memories, my mother used to live in Battle, no longer with us.
We went to Houghton Hall yesterday in Norfolk. Big stately home, used to belong to Robert Walpole, now Lord Cholmondely lives there. There is a lovely 5 acre walled garden divided into sections, rose garden, veg etc.

I made these for my cookie tray and they tasted so good. I didn't think I could make it out the door with them. They have the perfect amount of lemon flavoring. Everyone commented on how wonderful they were. Refreshing, would be the word
A great cookie! Was looking for a new addition to my Christmas cookie selection and decided to give this a try since I really like lemon flavored desserts. They baked up perfectly! Instead of rolling the cookies in powdered sugar, I placed the powdered sugar into my sifter and just sifted it over the cookies on the cooling rack. If you like lemon, they're worth a try!

Historical society proposes cemetery changes
PARKERSBURG – Proposals for changes at the Wood County Poor Farm Cemetery to make maintenance easier and improve burial recording-keeping were submitted to the Wood County Commission.
In 1864 the Overseers of the Poor purchased about 300 acres of the former Kincheloe property to establish a farm to care for the indigent of the county. Many of the burial records for the cemetery were lost when the infirmary at the poor farm was destroyed by fire in 1950. The county-owned cemetery is in the parking lot of West Virginia University at Parkersburg.
Bob Enoch with the Wood County Historical and Preservation Society told commissioners the society has attempted to document the poor farm burials.
"It's been difficult because of poor record-keeping in the past," he said. "We would like to bring in an expert to make some suggestions to improve record-keeping. Right now it's basically just written down on a legal pad. It's important this be done properly so it will last forever," Enoch said.
County maintenance crews are responsible for maintenance/upkeep of the cemetery.
"In order to make their job a little easier, we are suggesting you make it a rule that new stones need to be at ground level so the mower can cross over them to reduce the need for time consuming weeding," Enoch told commissioners.
Enoch also suggested signage be erected to let those placing flowers or flags on gravesites for special occasions know those items will be removed two weeks after the event.
"There have been white crosses placed on some of the gravesites since the 1970s and they require a lot of maintenance," Enoch said, noting other graves are marked with upright headstones as monuments.
He proposed the commission consider having concrete stones, which Enoch said are relatively inexpensive, be placed as headstone markers instead of larger monument style markers, at least on the new graves. He showed the commissioners a sample of such a concrete marker. Enoch said the society is willing to cover the cost of some of some of the stones, and with the county's permission, the group could apply for grant funding for the project.
"I can see merit in what you are saying," commission President Wayne Dunn said.
"It sounds like a great idea," Commissioner Steve Gainer said.
In the fall of 2012, a monument was erected to honor those buried at the cemetery. The historical society raised the funds for the monument.
County officials said for indigents buried at the county cemetery, the county pays about $250 for burial and the plot and the state pays about $1,250 to reimburse for interment.
