Hutcherson v. Commissioner of Social Security
SHIREEN DUPREE HUTCHERSON PLAINTIFF
COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY DEFENDANT
Greg N. Stivers, Chief Judge
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff's Objection (DN 21) to the Magistrate Judge's Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Recommendation ("R&R") (DN 20), and Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment (DN 10). For the reasons outlined below, the objection is OVERRULED and the motion is DENIED.
I. STATEMENT OF FACTS
Plaintiff Shireen Dupree Hutcherson ("Hutcherson") filed an application for Title II Social Security disability insurance benefits on November 15, 2014. (Administrative R. at 176, DN 7-5 [hereinafter R.]). On March 14, 2017, Administrative Law Judge Gloria B. York ("ALJ") conducted a hearing on Hutcherson's application. (R. at 53, DN 7-2). Upon consideration of Hutcherson's claim, the ALJ denied it using the five-step sequential process established by the Social Security Administration ("SSA"). 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520(a)(4); (R. at 21-40, DN 7-2).
At the first step, the ALJ found that Hutcherson has not engaged in substantial gainful activity since May 30, 2014, the alleged onset date, and that Hutcherson meets the insured status requirements. 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520(a)(4)(i); (R. at 27, DN 7-2). At the second step, the ALJ determined that Hutcherson has severe impairments, including: fibromyalgia; knee pain status post several surgeries; neck and low back pain with degenerative disc disease; shoulder pain; a bipolar disorder; and a generalized anxiety disorder with a panic disorder. 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520(a)(4)(ii); (R. at 27, DN 7-2). At the third step, the ALJ found that Hutcherson does not have any impairment or combination of impairments that meets one of the listed impairments in 20 C.F.R. Part 404, Subpart P, Appendix 1. 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520(a)(4)(iii); (R. at 28, DN 7-2). At the fourth step, the ALJ found that Hutcherson: has the residual functional capacity to perform sedentary work; can lift and carry ten pounds occasionally; can stand and walk two hours out of an eight-hour day; can sit six hours out of an eight-hour day; can frequently reach overhead; and is limited to routine, repetitive tasks which require only occasional interaction with supervisors and coworkers and no interaction with the general public in a job which is not fast paced. 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520(a)(4)(iv); (R. at 30, DN 7-2). For the fifth and final step, the ALJ determined that Hutcherson is capable of performing a significant number of jobs that exist in the national economy. 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520(a)(4)(v); (R. at 33, DN 7-2). Thus, the ALJ determined that Hutcherson "has not been under a disability, as defined in the Social Security Act, from May 30, 2014, through the date of this decision" and did not award benefits. (R. at 34, DN 7-2).
Hutcherson appealed the ALJ's decision to the Appeals Council on July 20, 2017, which denied her request for review on February 15, 2018. (R. at 173-75, DN 7-4). Hutcherson then filed the present action on April 13, 2018. (Compl., DN 1). Upon Hutcherson's motion for summary judgment (Pl.'s Mot. Summ. J., DN 10) the Magistrate Judge issued his R&R, recommending that this Court affirm the ALJ's decision and deny Hutcherson's motion for summary judgment. (R&R at 13, DN 20). Hutcherson then objected to the R&R. (Pl.'s Obj., DN 21).
The Court has jurisdiction to examine the record that was before the Commissioner on the date of the Commissioner's final decision and to enter a judgment, affirming, modifying, or reversing that decision. 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).
Social security cases may receive different levels of review in federal district courts. The Federal Magistrates Act allows district judges to designate magistrate judges to issue "proposed findings of fact and recommendations for . . . disposition . . . ." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). The magistrate judge then files a recommendation, to which each party may object within fourteen days. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Those parts of the report to which objections are raised are reviewed by the district judge de novo. Id. This differs from the standard applied to the Commissioner of Social Security's decision, which is reviewed to determine "whether it is supported by substantial evidence and was made pursuant to proper legal standards." Rogers v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec., 486 F.3d 234, 241 (6th Cir. 2007) (citations omitted).
Evidence that a "reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion" is substantial evidence. Richardson v. Perales, 402 U.S. 389, 401 (1971) (internal quotation marks omitted) (citation omitted). It is "more than a scintilla of evidence but less than a preponderance . . . ." Rogers, 486 F.3d at 241 (internal quotation marks omitted) (citation omitted). Where substantial evidence supports the ALJ's decision, a court is obliged to affirm. See Siterlet v. Sec'y of Health & Human Servs., 823 F.2d 918, 920 (6th Cir. 1987) (citation omitted). A court should not attempt to resolve conflicts of evidence or questions or credibility. See Bass v. McMahon, 499 F.3d 506, 509 (6th Cir. 2007) (citation omitted). The district court may consider any evidence in the record, regardless of whether cited in the ALJ's decision. See Mullen v. Bowen, 800 F.2d 535, 545-46 (6th Cir. 1986).
Throughout her objection and motion, Hutcherson appears to generally argue that the ALJ's opinion is not supported by substantial evidence. The only specific objections Hutcherson makes is that the ALJ failed to properly consider the opinions of three medical professionals in coming to her conclusion. (Pl.'s Obj. 9-15, DN 21; Pl.'s Mem. Supp. Mot. Summ. J. 9-13, DN 10-1). Specifically, Hutcherson argues that the ALJ failed to properly consider the opinions of her treating physicians, Dr. Andrea Watson ("Dr. Watson") and Dr. Mark Smith ("Dr. Smith"), [1] and the examining consultative psychologist, Dr. J. Lorilea Conyer ("Dr. Conyer").[2]
         A. The ALJ did not err in discounting the opinions of ...


Many of you asked me about this cute little bracelet that Avin is sporting in the picture above. It is seriously the cutest bracelet ever and better yet that it is homemade. Jackie with Charms Of Faith was so generous to make me this adorable little bracelet for Avins Baptism. When I first got in contact with her she said she had an idea of what she wanted to try and it all went from there.
From an idea to this adorable bracelet . . well I think that is pretty amazing and creative. When I got it in the mail I could not wait to get it on her but I wanted the first time for her to wear it to be on the day of her Baptism.
It was a little big but I like it like that because she can grow into it and wear it a bunch. Well she will only wear it on Special Occasions because I am not risking loosing it. Then it will go into her baby box for safe keeping.
Charms of Faith was started after a recent tragedy in my own life. After 26 years at the same company, my husband lost his job. With two kids in college and one in high school, this was a very trying time for us. During this time, I came across a psychic on the internet that promised if I purchased her bracelet, good things would come to me. I knew no bracelet could have that special power, but that the power was inside of me, in my faith. So, I made my own bracelet that said, "Believe". I wore it every minute of every day, looked down on it and held on to it. It gave me the strength to believe that everything will work out. Hence, I started other bracelets, necklaces, all with inspiring words. I would never profess that jewelry can give you power, but if it gives you strength and comfort, and helps you to believe in yourself and hold on to your faith, it can be magical!
Jackie 's jewelry is made of the finest metals and best materials she can find. she guarantee's her "secret method" of twisted cord will never fray or break and is completely waterproof. It is very soft and comfortable to wear every day. Her craftsman ship and detail is stunning.
Because I love this little piece of Jewelry and because Jackie is just too sweet she is offereing one of you a $20.00 Gift Certificate to spend in her shop.
Head over to her shop and let me know what you would purchase!
Please, Please, Please Remember that you need to leave SEPARATE COMMENTS for each Entry or it will only be considered ONE ENTRY! If it is worth 4 entries please leave 4 different comments!

Past is Prologue: Why Both Parties Opted to Energize the Base in 2004
In 2002, President George W. Bush and the Republican Party defied history. As we noted in our recap, up until 2002, a first-term president's party had not gained ground in midterm elections since 1934. By rallying behind the popular president, however, Republicans were able to pick up seats in both the House and the Senate, thus solidifying their hold on the legislative branch.
Despite these gains, the outlook for Republicans heading into the 2004 election was questionable. In November 2002, President Bush had a favorability rating of 64%. Two years later, in the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq, it had fallen to 49%. The Iraqi War and foreign affairs were a central issue in the presidential campaign, and Democratic candidate John Kerry continually attacked the president's judgment. Candidate spending, voter turnout, and partisan dissension were high, and Bush defeated Kerry in a contentious and close election.
Republican's grip on control of Congress was also tenuous. The GOP entered the 2004 election with a one-seat majority in the Senate and a twelve-seat majority in the House. With such narrow margins, the congressional races mattered nearly as much as the marquee presidential matchup.
In the House, very few seats were considered to be "in play." Buoyed by redistricting in Texas, where Republicans gained 5 seats, the GOP was able to grow their majority in the House by 3 seats. In the Senate, however, Democrats were hamstrung. Eight senators retired prior to the 2004 election and of those, five were Democrats who hailed from southern states with Republican leanings. Republicans were able to flip all 5 of those seats in addition to defeating Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD).
A full breakdown of the 2004 election cycle is below.
Party Division Change By Congress*
108th Congress (2003-2004): 205 Dems / 229 GOP / 1 Ind
Net Gains**
Republicans had a net gain of 3 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives through the 2004 election cycle.
Republicans flipped 8 seats.
Democrats flipped 5 seats.
Special Elections***
There were 3 special elections in the House held between Jan. 1, 2003 and the November 2004 election.
Democrats flipped 1 seat held during a special election.
Switched Parties
2 Democrats switched parties and became a Republican (TX-04, LA-05).
Retirements/Open Seats
There were 29 members who did not run again or who sought other offices.
12 Democrats / 17 GOP
Incumbent Losses****
7 incumbents were defeated in the 2004 election.
Republicans flipped 2 seats by defeating the incumbent.
Democrats flipped 5 seats by defeating the incumbent.
108th Congress (2003-2004): 49 Dems / 51 GOP
109th Congress (2003-2004): 44 Dems / 55 GOP / 1 Ind (Caucused w/ Dems)
34 Senate seats were up for election in 2004 (15 GOP / 19 Dem)
Republicans had a net gain of 4 seats in the U.S. Senate through the 2004 election cycle.
There were no special elections in the Senate.
There were 8 Senators who did not run again or who sought other offices (5 Democrats / 3 GOP)
Republicans flipped 5 open seats.

The human body has a bio-energy-circulation system similar to the blood-circulation system. The bio-energy flows along 12 main meridians, or channels. These are symmetrical on each side of the body, each pair being related to a specific organ.
Try to find tender points by pressing with a thumb or finger in a circular motion around the area indicated for each point on the charts of the meridians. For treatment concentrate on the most painful spots, pressing them frequently as explained for reflexology in Chapter 2. Generally, the pain decreases after some time of pressing, but should it increase instead, then interrupt the treatment for several days.
Tender pressure points may stem from either a local condition or a problem in the main organ associated with that particular meridian; also, the pain may be referred from a more distant body part connected to the same meridian. There is, of course, an interaction between these different areas.
When the main organ is inflamed, most points along its meridian will be tender. The points especially useful for diagnosing and treating the organ directly are located around the ankles and wrists. They are called 'source-points'. Further source-points are situated along the bladder meridian close to the spine, and also as local-points on various meridians near the target organ.
The following general rules are useful for selecting points for treatment.
Points above the knees or elbows reflect mainly local conditions, while those below these joints reflect local as well as distant conditions at other parts of the meridian.
Generally, the closer the points are to the fingertips or toes, the closer to the other end of the meridian will be the related sphere of influence.
For acute, painful conditions treat mainly distant-points, for chronic conditions add local-points.
This means, for example, that if you wish to treat an acute eye or ear pain you select points near the toes and fingers, while to treat shoulders and hips you move close to the elbows or knees. For a more chronic condition you press in addition the tender spots around the ears and eyes, and hips and shoulders.
You may also add points of other meridians that have a direct relationship to the problem. Eye problems, for example, are often associated with poor kidney and liver functions. Therefore, some points of these organs may be treated as well.
Furthermore, the points at the shoulders, the shoulder blades and the base of the neck control the circulation to the arms and hands; while the points at the hips, the buttocks and around the base of the spine control the circulation to the legs and feet. Therefore, treat poor circulation, numbness and pain in the extremities by pressing the points in the indicated control areas.
Instead of needling or pressing acupuncture-points, you may place the north pole of a small magnet on a point for stimulation or the south pole for sedation.
A main problem in healing is the balancing of the energy flows. Usually, this balancing occurs unrecognised as a by-product of other successful treatments. However, healing can be initiated and accelerated by deliberately treating the meridians with the express purpose of balancing.
A useful method for this is to follow the outline of a meridian (see the Meridian Chart below), with one finger or with several fingers held closely together. Following a meridian in the normal flow direction is strengthening, while tracing in the opposite direction will weaken and sedate the meridian. The results of these tracings may be checked with muscle testing.
In order to perform a meridian tracement, pause with your fingers for a moment at the starting-point; then follow the meridian in a quiet, fluent motion. The fingers should be close to the body. They may touch the skin or clothing but do not actually need to touch. It is enough to remain within about 5 cm of the actual course of the meridian.
Start by energising your hands. If you are experienced in working with energies you may just do that with your imagination, otherwise shake your hands for about ten seconds and during the actual tracing try to feel or imagine feeling energy streaming out of the tips of your fingers. Related meridians on both sides may be traced simultaneously. In repeated tracings move the hands back to the starting-point in a wide sweep to avoid following the meridian in the reverse direction. At the end of each tracement lightly flick the fingers to remove any accumulated negative energy.
You may trace all the main meridians once or several times daily, or you may concentrate on the meridians most in need of improvement. Important meridians may be traced repeatedly during the day for 20 times or more. The strengthening effect may be increased if after several tracings you do a muscle-tensing exercise, Taking a deep breath while tensing your whole body and then relaxing it during exhalation.
The meridian system allows us to understand why many disease symptoms appear in certain body parts when the originating cause is a weak or inflamed organ in another location. The diagrams show only the surface courses of the meridians; inside the body each one is connected to its associated organ. In this way the deranged energy pattern of an organ is easily transmitted to other body parts along the course of the meridian.
Diseases of the ear, migraine and hip problems can now be seen energy-wise to be associated with the gall bladder. Arthritis of the hip, therefore, is often a gall bladder problem, while arthritis of the shoulders may have its cause in the intestines. Gout, affecting the big toes, stems from the liver, while swollen ankles are related to the kidneys. See the enclosed Table of Meridian-Disease Relationships.
Furthermore, each organ-meridian system has a two-hour period of maximum activity, and a period of minimum activity 12 hours later. An inflamed organ is often more painful during its active period, while a weak system should not be stressed during low periods.
In acupuncture books you may find different names for two of the meridians. The circulation meridian is also called the pericardium meridian, while the gland meridian may be called the triple-warmer meridian.
While pulse diagnosis is the expert Chinese way of determining the energy balance of the meridians, you may often be able to judge by the kind of diseases or symptoms present. Generally, overacidity, pain and inflammation along the course of a meridian or in its target organ call for sedation, while coldness and weakness call for stimulation.
According to Chinese teachings, some interesting characteristics are associated with the meridians of the kidneys and liver. Weak kidney meridians are indicated by a lack of will and sexual impulse, and furthermore by negativity, unease, timidity and impatience. In the case of an overactive kidney meridian, on the other hand, the energy level is abnormally high and you cannot stop working.
The liver is similar. A weak meridian shows itself in dizziness, a clumsy walk, easily tiring eyes and a short temper. An overactive liver meridian causes excessive excitability, crying moods and a compulsion to continue working.
According to Chinese traditions, the main organs and their meridians are also associated with different emotions. An excessive amount of these emotions can damage the associated organs, while a disease of these organs may, in time, lead to excessive displays of these emotions.
Accordingly, anger is associated with the liver; excessive laughter and gayness, but also fright, with the heart; worry and emotional tension with the spleen and pancreas; grief, sorrow and negativity with the lungs; and fear and timidity with weak kidneys.
Magnets may also be used for tracing meridians. Move the appropriate pole of a magnet close to the skin along a meridian. This has a much stronger balancing effect than using the fingers. For strengthening use the north-pointing pole and for sedating the south-pointing pole towards the skin.
With muscle testing you can often detect a strong preference of a meridian for one of the magnetic poles. This can be used to diagnose the condition of the associated organ (if weak or inflamed). If muscle testing is not possible or successful, use the south-pointing pole on the body side that shows more inflammation or more tender acupressure-points; trace the opposite meridian with the north-pointing pole. Some individuals feel immediately which pole and direction of tracing is beneficial, while the opposite pole and direction may feel unpleasant. The most powerful sedating and pain-relieving effect is the south-pointing pole traced against the meridian flow.
You may either use a small cylindrical magnet, or one or more combined button magnets, or a small elongated ceramic magnet. Generally use a small or weak magnet, as a strong magnet may cause neighboring meridians to be traced in the wrong direction. I prefer a small (5 mm) button magnet glued/tacked to the end of a pen or pencil with the appropriate color, red for the stimulating and blue for the sedating pole. You may trace related meridians on both sides of the body simultaneously.
If muscle-testing shows that tracing the opposite flow direction of a meridian with the south-pointing pole towards the skin is strengthening, an infection or inflammation is likely somewhere along the course of the meridian or at its associated organ. Weak meridians or their related organs, on the other hand, test stronger when tracing with the north-pointing pole in the correct flow direction. If tracing feels stronger with the south-pointing pole in the correct flow direction, but weak when traced in the opposite direction, only a moderate amount of overactivity is in the meridian or its related organ.
Instead of using magnets, meridian tracings may be done with energies concentrated from a pyramid, orgone accumulator or any other energy generator. Use a metal tube, preferably galvanised iron or stainless steel wrapped in dry cloth, for the actual tracing; this may be connected to the pyramid by an insulated wire. For sedation, try a metal tube (best galvanised iron or steel) from which an insulated wire leads into a container with water.
Often, effective meridian therapy can be achieved simply by tracing a meridian mentally - moving the awareness along the meridian. In addition, you may try to feel a warm or orange energy stream moving in the normal flow direction for stimulation, while for sedation you may try to feel a cool or blue stream moving either in the normal direction or against it. If in doubt, move in the normal direction and imagine the meridian to be traced with the correct pole of a magnet. You do not actually need to know which pole it is.
Begin tracing at points marked 'start'. Dots indicate acupuncture or pressure points. Apply finger pressure when tender. The Governing Meridian (not shown) starts at the tailbone and follows the spine in a straight line over the top of the head down the nose and ends between nose and upper lip.

BRI opens new doors for Zim

Mr Zhao Baogang
Kuda Bwititi Chief Reporter
China's signature foreign policy programme, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), has opened fresh opportunities for Harare to elevate its relationship with Beijing and also unlock fresh funding for economic projects, a top Chinese official has said.
The second BRI summit ended at the weekend, unlocking multibillion-dollar deals for countries which China has partnered under the initiative.
About 40 heads of state from around the world, including Russia's Vladimir Putin, attended the summit which sought to elevate China's connectivity with the rest of the world.
Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa headed Zimbabwe's delegation at the summit.
In an interview, China's deputy ambassador to Zimbabwe, Mr Zhao Baogang, said Harare is poised for massive benefits from BRI.
Mr Zhao said financial cooperation between the two countries is expected to go north.
"We want to emphasise that China will continue to provide more loans and more grants to Zimbabwe. But what is important to note is that even greater financial cooperation can be achieved through the investment that the ambassador has emphasised.
"There is no limit to the amount of investment that can come to Zimbabwe from China. We urge your Government to do more to attract Chinese investors through the ease of doing business."
Mr Zhao the said the ball was in Zimbabwe's court to receive capital from China, as the Oriental state plans to invest $750 billion in the next 10 years under BRI projects.
"It is really up to Zimbabwe's Government and business to see what projects they come up with to get a bigger share of the $750 billion than other countries.
"Since BRI was launched 300 000 jobs have been created on the Old Silk Road route."
The Silk Road was an ancient network of trade routes that connected the East and West.
Mr Zhao said in line with the thrust to upgrade relations, a high-powered Government delegation headed by Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade will visit Beijing in the next few weeks.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in China has invited your Minister of Foreign Affairs to discuss these issues. We believe that such dialogue gives the platform for us to understand each other and understanding each other is the foundation for greater cooperation."
Mr Zhao said there is great scope to increase trade between the two countries, as the world's second largest economy provides a huge market opportunity for Zimbabwe to sell its products, particularly agricultural produce.
He said in the next decade, China's commodities market will be worth a whopping $24 trillion.
"This year in June, the Zimbabwe delegation will be invited to China for a high-level exhibition in the city of Chan-Sha.
"This will be yet another chance for Zimbabwe to showcase its products. There is a huge market for agriculture produce, in particular citrus products.
"In fact, it is estimated that in the next 10 to 15 years, China will import US$24 trillion of goods from around the world. China has a huge market through its 1,4 billion people.
"We want your Ministry of Agriculture to work with our embassy to take up these opportunities which can be very lucrative for Zimbabwe."
Mr Zhao said under the BRI's infrastructure cluster China wants to assist Zimbabwe in the construction of railways and roads.
He said under people-to-people exchanges more than 1 000 Zimbabweans will travel to China for educational scholarships and training programmes.
There is also going to be an enhancement in cultural exchanges between peoples from the two countries.
In her remarks in one of the meetings at the summit, Minister Mutsvangwa said BRI "could not have come at a more propitious time for Zimbabwe" as it feeds into Vision 2030.

Feast of St. Alphonsus Rodriguez, S.J. (1533-1617)
Jesus went through one town and village after another, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem. Someone asked him, "Lord, will only a few be saved?" He said to them, "Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. When once the owner of the house has got up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, open to us,' then in reply he will say to you, 'I do not know where you come from. '
Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.' But he will say, 'I do not know where you come from; go away from me, all you evildoers!' There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrown out. Then people will come from east and west, from north and south, and will eat in the kingdom of God. Indeed, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last."

Much to Teach Us
Some Jesuit saints attack the world head-on, like St. Peter Claver, the friend and disciple of St. Alphonsus Rodriguez. Others like Alphonsus himself fight personal battles against failure, loss, temptation, and disease. We tend to admire more activist champions such as Peter Claver, who worked among slaves for forty years. But why should we think any the less of saints such as Alphonsus who was more like us in his ordinariness and suffering? And who showed us how to be faithful in long lasting spiritual and personal struggles?
Alphonsus's early years in Segovia, Spain, are a story of tragedies. When he was fourteen his father died and he left school to help his mother run the family business. At twenty-three he married, but his wife died in childbirth three years later. Within a few years his mother and son also died. On top of this, his business was failing, so he sold it. Recognizing a late vocation to religious life, he applied for admission to the Jesuits at Segovia, but was refused because he was not educated.
Undaunted, Alphonsus returned to Latin school, humbly bearing the ridicule of his adolescent classmates. Finally, in 1571, the Jesuit provincial accepted him as a lay brother. He was sent to Montesione College on Majorca, where he served as doorkeeper for forty-five years. His post allowed him to minister to many visitors. And he became the spiritual adviser to many students. He exerted wide-reaching influence, most notably in guiding St. Peter Claver into his mission to the slaves of the New World.
Alphonsus adhered to a few simple spiritual guidelines that navigated him through his troubles and trials. For example, a method for finding joy in hardship:
"Another exercise is very valuable for the imitation of Christ—for love of him, taking the sweet for the bitter and the bitter for sweet. So, I put myself in spirit before our crucified Lord, looking at him full of sorrow, shedding his blood and bearing great bodily hardships for me. As love is paid for in love, I must imitate him, sharing in spirit all his sufferings.
I must consider how much I owe him and what he has done for me. Putting these sufferings between God and my soul, I must say, "What does it matter, my God, that I should endure for your love these small hardships? For you, Lord, endured so many great hardships for me."

Lord, as the nights lengthen and autumn begins its surrender to winter, so, too, the Scripture readings for the church year focus on the last things….this is truly a time to pause, reflect, and give thanks. You have brought us safe thus far. Above all, we thank you for the wisdom that has come from our suffering and for your grace that has protected us from bitterness. Little by little, you have grown us into the people we are now. And before I say farewell to this day, I embrace the insight of St. Alphonsus Rodriguez, S.J: "What does it matter, my God, that I should endure for your love these small hardships? For you, Lord, endured so many great hardships for me."

Adobe Creative Suite 4 and Snow Leopard (v10.6) FAQ
AdobeJim Sep 04, 2009
Are Adobe Creative Suite 4 products and components compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6)?
Yes. Working closely with Apple, Adobe has tested and determined that our Adobe Creative Suite 4 products and components are compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
Is Snow Leopard (v10.6) important to Adobe Creative Suite 4 customers?
Yes. Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6) — the latest version of Apple's operating system — delivers a productive computing experience for creative professionals. Adobe and Apple have worked together closely to test that Adobe Creative Suite 4 products and components run reliably and efficiently on Intel-based systems running Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6) with optimal performance and user experience. Please see below for known issues we have discovered in our testing. As with any new release of an operating system, there may be additional unexpected issues that arise that may not have been uncovered during our testing efforts.
Do Adobe Creative Suite 3 products support Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6)?
Adobe has worked closely with Apple throughout the Snow Leopard development and testing process. Adobe has conducted its own additional testing of our Adobe CS3 software on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and is confident that our CS3 applications will function as expected with Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Adobe did uncover some non-critical issues, which are documented for our customers to review at http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_cpsid_51215_en-us.
Will Adobe continue to test its CS4 applications on Snow Leopard (v10.6)?
Yes. Adobe sets high standards of quality, stability, and reliability for our professional products, and we worked closely with Apple to test that Creative Suite 4 products and components run on Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6). Please see below for known issues we have discovered in our testing. As with any new release of an operating system, there may be additional unexpected issues that arise that may not have been uncovered during our testing efforts. If you encounter any issues, please report them by going to www.adobe.com/misc/bugreport.html and clicking "Report A Bug". Please note that we do not respond to submissions, however we do review the information closely with the appropriate teams, and continue to test and monitor the user experience.
Do any of the Adobe CS4 applications require updates to be compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6)?
If you are running the latest updates for Creative Suite software, your software will operate on Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6). Updates are required for Adobe Acrobat® software, Adobe Reader® software and Adobe Flash® Player:
Adobe Acrobat: Acrobat users need to have version 9.1 or later installed in order to produce Adobe PDF files on Snow Leopard (v10.6). Select the "PDF" button in the Print dialog and choose "Save as Adobe PDF" to access the new feature.
Adobe Flash Player: The initial release of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6) includes an earlier version of Adobe Flash Player than what is currently available from Adobe. Adobe recommends all users update to the latest version of Flash Player (10.0.32.18) which supports Snow Leopard and is available for download from http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer.
We encourage our customers to review other documented issues and information regarding updates at www.adobe.com/support.
How do I install any of the required updates for Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6) compatibility?
For Acrobat, users will need to update to version 9.1 or later to operate on Snow Leopard (v10.6). Adobe Flash Player must also be updated to work with Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6), and is available for download at http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer. Updates for Acrobat and other Creative Suite products and components are made available through the Adobe Updater, a utility that is installed with Adobe products or components to manage the download and installation of updates for you. As long as the automated notification feature in Adobe Updater is turned on, you will be alerted automatically when the updates become available. You can then follow the onscreen instructions to download and install the updates. Alternatively, you can open the Adobe CS4 product or component that requires an update, choose Help > Updates to open the Adobe Updater, check all of the updates you want, and click Download and Install Updates. Lastly, you can also visit www.adobe.com/support/downloads to monitor when updates are posted, then download and install the updates for each relevant Adobe CS4 product or component.
Is Adobe aware of any major issues, bugs or odd user experiences when using Adobe CS4 or Acrobat products or components with Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6)?
Adobe Creative Suite 4 and Acrobat solutions are thoroughly tested at Adobe in conjunction with Apple to confirm our solutions perform to the high standards and level of performance, quality and user experience our customers expect. In our testing, we did discover a few functional areas that display unusual user experiences. The most notable issues or updates are:
Adobe Acrobat: Please note that Acrobat users need to have version 9.1 or later installed in order to produce Adobe PDF files on Snow Leopard (v10.6). Select the "PDF" button in the Print dialog and choose "Save as Adobe PDF" to access the new feature. Download the latest Adobe Reader at: http://get.adobe.com/reader.
Adobe Flash Player: The initial release of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6) includes an earlier version of Adobe Flash Player than what is currently available from Adobe. Adobe recommends all users update to the latest, most secure version of Flash Player (10.0.32.18) which supports Snow Leopard and is available for download at http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer.
Adobe Drive used with Adobe Version Cue® CS4 Server: At this time, Adobe Drive does not run on Snow Leopard (v10.6). For customers that are dependent on Adobe Drive and Adobe Version Cue, we recommend that they do not upgrade to Snow Leopard at this time.
Adobe CSI Extensions: Users may be unable to update their CSI Extensions via the Connections Panel. The cause is related to interaction between Creative Suite 4 products and Apple's Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) v.1.6. The update will appear to be complete, but the user will again receive notification that the update is available at every update check interval. Users who have not installed the CSI update v1.0.1 will not be impacted, but they also will not receive notifications about available extension updates. Users who installed the CSI update v.1.0.1 and the corresponding extension updates prior to upgrading to Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6) will also not be impacted by the issue. Adobe Extensions affected include the Connections panel itself, the Kuler™ extension, Search for Help, and Share My Screen. Adobe plans to have an additional update for the CSI and related files as soon as possible.
Please visit http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq/www.adobe.com/support to check the Adobe knowledgebase for the latest information related to Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6).
I use a number of plug-ins with my current version of Creative Suite. Are these plug-ins compatible with Creative Suite running Snow Leopard (v10.6)?
Adobe has conducted testing that has shown that some 3rd party plug-ins are not compatible with Adobe After Effects® CS4 software running on Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6). Customers are encouraged to check plug-in compatibility by contacting the plug-in vendor before upgrading to Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6). For third-party products, contact the manufacturer for guidance on their support for Snow Leopard.
Will Adobe offer technical support for its CS4 products and components running on Max OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6)?
Adobe offers support to its Creative Suite 4 customers running Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6) in accordance with our standard customer support policies. Visit www.adobe.com/support to check the Adobe knowledgebase for the latest information related to Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6), and for additional information about our complimentary and paid support programs.
I am a volume licensing customer. How do I get updates for my Adobe CS4 products or components?
Adobe recommends following your company's internal guidelines to manage updates. You may want to contact the IT or technical person who manages your Adobe licenses for information about your corporate policies on updating software. For volume licensing customers, information is available for IT managers on how to silently push installations of Adobe CS4 updates at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/491/cpsid_49171.html. For individual users, there is an Adobe Updater (choose Help > Updates) to download and install updates for Adobe CS4 products and components for individual system updates.
Are the trial versions of Adobe CS4 products and components compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6)?
Yes. If a full version of an Adobe Creative Suite 4 product is compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6), then the trial version of that product is compatible as well. The known issues described in this document also apply to the trial versions.

As a SEO professional, you may be surprised to know that most of what we do for search engine optimization is actually press reporting or PR. In fact, many of you have never thought that way. However, better it is for us to get out of our preconceived concept about PR. Sooner we throw away the old, rotten idea and adapt to a new one, better it will be for us to gain most from its application and best practices.
However, it is unfortunate that despite evolution in technology and channel of communication, there is lack of acceptance on our part. We must understand though a massive change has already taken place in the way we now communicate with people, it ultimately gets down to a basic – a person is talking with another one. The PR experts know it better how to work with people. Social media is basically a communication channel that can be utilized by PR professionals, lead generators, customer-service spokespersons – in a word, SEO professionals.
Public relation too is not a science but an art. There are strict guidelines in regards to XML sitemaps, duplicate content, less time in page loading and many other aspects of search engine optimization. However, in absence of any strict guideline, PR method can vary significantly.
Here we have summed up a step-by-step process of a PR strategy build-up that will produce best results.
It makes no sense to create a PR strategy without having a clear understanding of what you want to achieve. Remember, PR is meant to get coverage that would be compatible with a company's business strategy and marketing objectives as well as support the same.
It is must for a PR team to do research and prepare a list of the target customers depending on your objectives..
Once you are clear about your objectives and have identified the target market, the next task for your PR team is to determine the positioning, which implies how you will brand your content, product or company to the target consumers.
Next you should compile a list of outlets, which the identified target consumers will go through. The importance of this step can't be stressed enough. While preparing media list, you should always remember that time is one of the most limited resources. The challenge is to optimally utilize the time for your PR purpose. Your PR team could send generic press release to multiple outlets through a wire service or alternatively, they could pour all of their effort for a highly desired single outlet.
It is the last stage that requires you to create pitches and PR. Sometimes, a single PR will be enough. However, it will be more effective if you focus your effort on unique, customized press release for every reporter or each kind of outlet.

Advice To Assist You To When It Comes To FurnitureThe decision to learn will give you many opportunities. You can bring positive changes to the existence by placing yourself in a learning position. It is essential to do thorough research before heading buying new furniture. This short article contains numerous strategies to improve your shopping skills.When attemping to get the best deal on furniture, try to find furniture stores who happen to be offering deep discounts on furniture. Many furniture stores give you a cash back guarantee. If some furniture is returned, it cannot be sold as new. Instead, they discount it then sell it as a used.If you discover a piece of furniture which you like, inquire if your furniture store offers price matching. This is a great way to save you money while allowing you to remain faithful for your local furniture store. This may keep your business in your neighborhood which helps grow local businesses.Try to find colors that may still look nice in a few years from now. Brightly colored furniture can appear like a wise idea during the time of your purchase but you will quickly get sick than it. Search for simple colors that will easily blend in different styles and decors.Think about your lifestyle just before purchasing any kind of furniture. If you've got youngsters by using a hyperactive streak or possibly a dog with a big floppy tail, then a delicate piece that's easily tipped over probably isn't right for your home. Let your situation help determine what you need.Prior to deciding to put any furniture cleaner on your own items, you have to check a small place to determine if there are actually any damages. If there are actually any problems once you put the product around the small area, you will be aware that this is simply not the correct thing to utilize in your things.When choosing new furniture or used furniture, ensure every one of the drawers and cabinet doors work correctly before purchasing. Make sure the cabinet doors close securely and open easily. Test every one of the drawers to ensure they grab correctly and close properly. If there is anything that is not working, buy it fixed before buying.Given that you've taken time to see this article, you are certain to benefit using this advice. Ensuring that you read these guidelines really can be useful if you implement them also. Do your furniture shopping even though the ideas using this article are fresh in your mind, either with this or perhaps a future read.

Spoiler-Free Judgement Zone
It's all right. It's not boring, and the creature is one of those things you just have to see to believe. It's another mind-controlling alien, but (spoiler) it doesn't conquer the world!
Dr. Paul Nelson is working in the space lab, they're getting ready to launch their new 9-million-dollar satellite.Dr. Tom Anderson has warned the government over and over to cancel the program. He has a complicated list of credentials, but the government can't stop progress because of his warnings. He thinks alien intelligences are watching us constantly.
Tom and Peter and their wives have dinner together. It's been up there for three months now. Tom shows Paul his radio set, and he's picking up alien voices from Venus; Paul doesn't hear the voices. Paul gets a phone call; the satellite is gone!
The satellite suddenly appears. Even Tom's wife, Claire, thinks he's crazy at this point. He has long conversations with someone on the radio that no one else can hear. He's certain that the voice is his friend.
The military decides to bring down the satellite to see what happened. The satellite crashes, but the voice tells Tom that he survived the crash. Everything with power suddenly stops; it's some kind a power failure. Communications are down as well.
Paul and Joan's car stalls with everything else, and they walk to Tom's house for help.
Meanwhile, the ugly alien shoots out little butterfly-like drones. Tom's car works because he was smart. One of the drones attacks the sheriff, who throws the creature in the garbage can. Another one gets the General in the same way.
Paul and Joan arrive at Tom's house, and Tom explains that he expected all this. Tom thinks the alien is here to rescue mankind from itself, not enslave it. Paul doesn't believe any of it, and he doesn't like the story, either.
The sheriff evacuates the town. The newspaper editor refuses to go, so the sheriff shoots him. One of the drones goes after Paul, but he shoots at it and scares it off before driving to Tom's house. He accuses Tom of being a murderer. Tom explains that there are only nine of the creatures alive, but only one has come to Earth. Paul calls Tom a traitor to mankind and storms off.
Claire tells Tom that she hopes Paul kills the thing, and she agrees that Tom is in the wrong. Joan uses one of the drones to attack Paul, but he kills it. The alien tells Tom to kill Paul, since his control device has been killed.
Paul shoots Joan without much drama; he just kills his wife without a thought. Claire gets on the radio and tells the creature that she's going to find a way to kill it. She then grabs the shotgun and gets in the car; she knows where the creature is hiding.
Paul tries to talk Tom into helping fight the thing. Claire enters the cave where the creature lives, and sees it; it's horrible. She shoots it a couple of times until it kills her. Tom and Paul hear her die over the radio.
There is a company of soldiers that have been wandering around the woods for most of the story which have done nothing but supply some very weak comic relief. One of them hears Claire screaming and brings the others.
Paul goes to the lab and kills the general and two of the controlled scientists. No, the general isn't really dead; he follows Paul, as does the sheriff.
Tom kills the sheriff. The soldiers attack the monster in its cave, but have to fall back. They do however, draw it outside. Tom arrives with his little flame thrower and burns the thing as it kills him. Paul arrives and makes a speech about how perfect humanity is.
Another alien mind-control story. This one's got a lot more action than some of its predecessors, although the fight scene choreography is laughably bad.
The little flying drones are stop-motion or something, and they are a pretty good effect. The main monster, on the other hand, manages to be creative, unique, and completely ridiculous all at the same time.
Absentia (2011)
· Directed by Mike Flanagan
· Written by Mike Flanagan
· Stars Katie Parker, Courtney Bell, Dave Levine
It's a supernatural missing-persons case with lots of drama. It's suspenseful, but there's nearly no action, special effects, or gore. It's more drama than horror, it's also a very slow burn, edging into the territory of boring.
Tricia takes down her husband's "Missing" poster from a streetlight pole and puts up a fresh one. He's been gone for a while it appears. She meets her sister Callie, who's just returned from a road trip that went on for five years. Tricia is in the process of declaring Danny dead "in absentia" after seven years. It's been rough on her.
Tricia wakes up that night and sees Danny standing by the windows, crying. She touches him, and he roars at her; just a dream.
Next morning, Callie goes for a run which takes her through the creepy tunnel at the end of the street. She passes many "missing animal" posters in the neighborhood. On the way back, she finds a man lying in the tunnel. "You can see me?" He asks. "It's sleeping," he says. He's Walter. She runs home.
Detective Mallory is there visiting. He mentions things have been going missing all over the area. Break ins with no clues. He warns them to lock their doors. He leaves, and she sees Danny again, but she's not asleep. Her therapist says it's a normal thing.
A few hours later, Callie takes food to Walter, but he's gone. She leaves a Tupperware full of food for him, just in case. After her run the next day, Callie finds change and a bunch of trinkets on her doorstep. She puts them back in the tunnel, but a man tells her not to do it. He leaves his own bag of stuff there and walks away. That night, she finds a whole bunch more junk— in her bed.
Daniel whispers to Tricia as she tries to meditate. Detective Mallory gets positively angry to hear someone has been in the house, and we suspect he's the baby's father.
Next morning, Callie runs in a different place then gets high after, although she's supposed to be sober. Daniel's death certificate arrives in the mail. The two girls go out and look for an apartment, so Tricia can finally sell the house.
On Tricia and Mallory's first date, the real Daniel shows up. "You can see me?" He asks. "I was underneath." Eventually, they release him from the hospital. Daniel acts like he's in shock and says he doesn't remember where he was, but Mallory doesn't believe him.
Later Daniel reads "Three Billy Goats Gruff," and complains "That's not what it looks like." "I wish you hadn't traded with it. It fixates on that." He says "It's in one of the walls over there," and Callie sees something move as well.
While Tricia is out talking to Mallory, something happens to Callie, and then Daniel is gone again. She saw "it" drag Daniel out the front door, down the street, and into the tunnel. The detectives realize right away that she's been high and dismiss her story.
Tricia files another missing persons report. Tricia thinks Callie hallucinated the whole thing, but Callie insists otherwise.
Callie does some Internet research and identifies Walter from the Internet; he was missing since 1995. People have been disappearing there since the 1920s. This has been going on for a very long time. Tricia is in denial, which seems completely reasonable.
Daniel's parents finally arrive by plane, not realizing that he's already gone again.
The police come to the door and say that a body has been found in the tunnel. It's Walter. That other man who was there with the bag screams and the police tackle him. He's Jaime, Walter's son. He had been trading with the monster trying to get his father back.
Callie goes to the police that night and reports that the monster took Tricia right out of the living room. They tell her to file a missing persons report.
Callie puts all her evidence and research into an envelope for Mallory and then goes into the tunnel. She yells "Trade," and hears many screams coming from behind the walls. The unborn baby appears on the ground, dead. Callie runs but vanishes completely.
Detective Mallory comes by again and finds the envelope packet. Will he solve this? Doubtful.
Tricia's reactions are pretty believable and realistic, considering her situation. Daniel's behavior seems believable for what he went through, and Callie just reacts to everything as well as she can. It's all very depressing and emotional, at least until the monster shows up.
Believe it or not, the whole plot is based on the Three Billy Goats Gruff story, with the Troll under the bridge.
It's slow, especially the first half-hour or so. Nothing particularly supernatural happens for almost the first full hour, but when it does, it gets interesting. It's a low-budget film, but done competently with good production values.
Short Film: Job Interview from Hell (2021)
· Written and Directed by Bartosz Kuzmicki
· Stars: Kim Sholts
· Run Time: 4 Minutes
· Link:
Kim adds a job interview to their Google Calendar. Kim arrives for her interview, but there is no one in the office. No one except for a glowing-eyed bird monster who kills her, that is.
After a reset, Kim arrives for her interview, but there is no one in the office. She remembers the attack and runs to get out, but the bird kills her. Again. There are multiple retries all with the same end result.
Kim arrives for her interview, but there is no one in the office. She looks around and sees a skateboard. This time, she's ready. She smacks the bird over the head and impales him with the board.
That's good problem-solving. I'd hire her. When you're stuck in a time loop, your only job is to get out. Short, but well-executed.
Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead (1994)
· Directed by Don Coscarelli
· Written by Don Coscarelli
· Stars Reggie Bannister, A. Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornbury
It's better than the second film. It's a good continuation of the series, and it ends in a much better place for further sequels. It explains a bit more about the Tall Man's agenda, and adds some interesting new characters to the story.
We start with a shot of the Tall Man staring into his balls as he holds one of them in his hand. Mike, the boy from the first film, remembers the events from the previous two films. But somehow, the Tall Man just keeps coming back. "Nothing is ever as it seems." Credits roll.
Then we take up right where the second movie left off. Reggie is thrown out of the Hearse, which soon explodes with Mike and the girls from the second movie inside. Mike is thrown clear. Reggie shoots an evil dwarf and rescues Mike. Not really, as the Tall Man and more dwarves arrive. Reggie threatens to blow himself and Mike up with a grenade, and the Tall Man says he can wait.
Mike's in the hospital, still unconscious after the car accident. He dreams about people walking into the light. He sees Jody, his dead brother, who tells him to go back. "Stay away from the light," he says. Reggie walks in the room in time to see a killer ball pop out of the nurse's head. This ball has an eye.
Mike and Reggie go home to get their stuff before leaving town. Jody is there to warn them, but it's really Jody's mind inside one of the silver balls. "It's time now, boy" says the Tall Man. The Tall Man and Mike leave through a portal.
The next morning, Reggie wakes up and tries to repair the Jody-ball to no avail. It only says "Holtsville." Reggie goes to the town of Holtsville, population zero. There was some kind of toxic spill here years ago. He's overpowered by a trio of looting crooks.
The three then decide, for some reason, to break into a big house and steal stuff. There's a little kid in there who kills the girl and wounds one of the men. Then he throws a razor-tipped frisbee that kills the other man. Soon, he's alone and lets Reggie out of the trunk of the car.
The boy's name is Tim, and he warns Reggie about the "Lurkers" that the Tall Man left there after killing his parents. The Tall Man took both his parents, but he escaped. The eye-ball is watching them all night. The next morning, they find that the lurkers took the three bandits' bodies. Reg decides to leave, and Tim insists on going along.
Next stop: Holtsville Cemetery. Reggie enters the abandoned mausoleum, and he's almost immediately attacked by a ball. Two women handcuff Reggie, but the ball gets one of them. The other woman, Rocky, tries to fight it with nunchucks, but Tim shoots it instead.
The trio winds up at a cheap motel for the night. They're headed to Boulton, another town that's all cleared out. They get lost, but they soon spot a trio of Hearses driven by guys in gas masks. There's dozens of Hearses.
Reggie finally convinces Rocky to have sex, but right in the middle of it, Jody appears again. He shows Reggie how to get to Mike. They take a portal to see the Tall Man and Mike. The Jody-ball lasers a hole in the wall to release Mike, but the Tall Man turns Jody back into a ball. They escape through another portal.
The three bandits from earlier are back, now zombified, but they don't last long. Reggie, Mike, Rocky, and Tim head into the town's mausoleum, thinking the Tall Man would never think to look for them there.
They find a cryonics pod there, and Mike remembers that the Tall Man doesn't like the cold. Jody-ball explains the Tall Man's plan to Mike. He puts brains into the sentinels/balls and turns their bodies into killers.
Mike talks to the Tall Man. Rocky and Tim fight with the not-so-dead bandits. The Tall Man starts to operate on Mike, but the others break in and fight him. They stab him and shove him into the meat locker, which is very cold. The Tall Man shatters, and a gold sentinel ball emerges. They end up dumping the ball in the liquid nitrogen.
Unfortunately, Mike now has balls in his head. He runs off into the darkness. Rocky says goodbye and drives off. Tim and Reg go back inside and find the ball has escaped and the portal has been activated. Oh, there are now thousands of balls. The Tall Man appears and says, "It's never over!"
It manages to bring back the trio of heroes from the first film, which is a good trick since one of them was killed. Or seemed to have been.
Generally speaking, Reggie may be the unluckiest hero since the Evil Dead films. He's beat up, attacked, or something in every encounter, sometimes by his allies.
There's a lot of silliness here. The three bandits. Bad-ass Rocky channeling Grace Jones with nunchucks. Reggie's love life in particular is just comical.
I think there's probably more to cryonics than just dumping floating heads into liquid nitrogen, but I'm no expert. Anyway, it makes for an entertaining plot device.
Underwater (2020)
· Directed by William Eubank
· Written by Brian Duffield, Adam Cozad
· Stars Kristen Stewart, Vincent Cassel, Mamoudou Athie
It's "The Abyss," only with more disasters. And monsters. It's a fun, fast-paced movie with a lot of tension and claustrophobic moments. We liked it!
As credits roll, we see facts and news articles about the Mariana Trench and the deepest drill site ever. There is mention of strange figures, unexplained tremors, and other mysteries.
Norah brushes her teeth in the bathroom of the subsea base as the lights flicker. It must happen a lot because she doesn't seem upset. There's a small tremor, and she does notice that. She feels a drop of water come from the ceiling and then the base explodes. She runs, people panic, it's all very frantic as she and Rodrigo watch a corridor flooding toward them. They close the airlock door just in time.
They have to find an escape pod. She's a mechanical engineer, so she knows things about the station. They have to make their way to CR-7 where the evac pods are. They also find Paul, and the three of them have to crawl through a claustrophobic tunnel.
They get to the pod bay and find Captain Lucien there. He insists that they are all getting out alive. They go to the control room and find Liam and Emily there. They have about 30 minutes until the power cores have a meltdown. Also, there's some scary sounds on the last recording from the mining site. Could something be down there?
They're pretty much doomed unless they walk to the Roebuck, the deeper base that's a mile below them. It's insane, but it just might work. They all put on their super deep-sea suits. They go down into the pressure bay and Rodrigo implodes, shooting floating chunks of his body everywhere. They take the cargo elevator down to the lower sections.
A couple of the guys go outside to check a defective escape pod and they're attacked by a thing that looks like the little version of a Xenomorph from "Alien." They come back inside, but then they start hearing footsteps on the roof of the elevator. Something is out there.
The base above explodes, causing the elevator to fall. They have to run across the floor of the Mariana Trench as debris falls all around them. They see humanoid shapes out there. They enter the tunnel to the final station, and they lose Paul to one of the creatures; it rips him right out of his suit.
They have to go back outside to walk some more, and they run into another creature. After a lot of tension, they lose the Captain as well. Emily and Liam get left behind, but may not be dead.
Now Norah's on her own. She arrives at Sheperd, an abandoned earlier base. There's no escape pods, but there are tools and lots of good stuff. She arms herself and does a few repairs.
She goes back outside and finds Emily and Liam, but Liam's unconscious. Finally, they reach the Roebuck, the drill site, which seems to be intact. Except it's covered by tentacles. They walk through the tentacles until Emily's suit sets off an alarm that wakes up the creatures. Norah is literally swallowed whole by one of them, but she shoots her way out.
Suddenly, all the creatures swim away. Norah lights a torch and sees a giant Cthulhu-sized sea monster. The three survivors all finally get inside the drilling installation and make their way to escape pods. The big thing outside is wrecking the base as they run from one destroyed section to another.
Liam and Emily get in the pods and launch, but Norah's pod is defective, so she has to stay behind. She sees the creatures going after the pods, so she sets the base to self-destruct. She blows up everything within a huge radius, monsters, base, and herself included.
As credits roll, we see that the company denies everything and plans to resume drilling soon…
It's very fast moving, with disaster after disaster and death after death starting about two minutes in. It barely lets up.
It would have taken years to build that base; why are the creatures just now appearing? There's living quarters all over the place; this was a busy place, it's not like these folks were the first ones down there. The captain said Shepherd base was empty, but it had lots of tools equipment, and the captain even had a locker full of personal stuff in there. What's up with that?
How did only the two escape pods make it to the surface when the captain said he launched more than twenty of them before Norah met up with him? What happened to them? Questions aside, this was an excellent film that the Horror Guys both recommend.

Bitcoin [BTC] fails every test of liquidity, ease of use, and transparency, says Jim Rickards
Jim Rickards, an American lawyer, and a gold speculator, continues to stands against the idea of Bitcoin [BTC]. The lawyer recently made a bold statement on his Twitter handle on Bitcoin [BTC], stating that it only good for criminals; a similar ideology he's had about the coin for a long time.
Rickards also stated that a digital currency, which is liquid and accepted by the majority mass, is the US Dollar. He said:
"We already have a widely accepted, liquid, and digital crypto-currency. It's called the dollar. What you want is a distributed ledger, not another crypto-currency. Bitcoin fails every test of liquidity, ease of use, transparency. It's good for criminals; that's about it."
The statement against the biggest cryptocurrency with over 53.7% dominance in the market, was made as an answer to a question asked by Twitterati, Riyad.
Riyad asked Rickards whether it was just Bitcoin [BTC] he saw no potential in or all the cryptocurrencies in the market. The Twitterati further added:
"[…] Struggle to see how once the technology develops a digital currency by a major central bank or otherwise becomes inevitable. Bringing with it Bitcoin as the internet's gold equivalent."
In a discussion with Modern Wall Street, Rickard had remarked Bitcoin as the biggest fraud among 1,600 cryptocurrencies, stating that it was mostly used by tax evaders and terrorists. He also claimed that the coin will be valued at $200 in the future. He went on to say that the cryptocurrency is a dead-end and it is neither scalable nor sustainable.
He even took a hit at Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, stating that he did not take the monetary economics into consideration while creating the coin.
Even back then, Rickards stood by his current beliefs, the dollar being a digital currency. He had justified that statement by saying that the whole Fedwire system is digital and that the message traffic is encrypted. Rickards added that the only missing factor of a dollar was that, unlike Bitcoin, it is not based on a digital distributed ledger. However, the lawyer had stated that the blockchain technology and some currencies have a future
The post Bitcoin [BTC] fails every test of liquidity, ease of use, and transparency, says Jim Rickards appeared first on AMBCrypto.

Q: Facebook like not liking the proper page I have used the <iframe> like button of facebook to like my page, but the problem i'm facing here is that the like.php page of facebook ignores a part of my query string. For eg:
<iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://stg.radioworld.com/default.aspx?tabid=75&entryid=10220&width=450&height=21&colorscheme=light&layout=button_count&action=like&show_faces=false&send=false&appId=235245186502970" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border: none; overflow: hidden; width: 93px; height: 28px; vertical-align: middle;" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>

Here, like.php ignores the entryid query string and always like http://stg.radioworld.com/default.aspx?tabid=75. Please help.

A: I believe the issue is that the entire URL is not encoded. Since you are using .NET, you should be able to use UrlEncode to correctly encode the entire parameter.
From the looks of it, your ? and : in your sub URL are possibly causing issues.
Your URL should probably look something like this:
"...like.php?href=http%3A//stg.radioworld.com/default.aspx%3Ftabid=75&entryid=10220..."
