I stepped outside my house a few days ago and noticed that someone decided to redecorate my yard with various cups, beer cans and a pizza box. Apparently, someone driving along on the road I live on thought it would be appropriate to toss this garbage out of their car and onto my lawn.
There are at least five convenience stores within five minutes of my house, where someone could stop by and drop off their trash in an outside trash can, since apparently there is a pressing need that requires this trash to be discarded of immediately.
I want to thank the woman who took the pocketbook out of the buggy at Walmart about 7 p.m. on July 22.
You do not know what a blessing it was to find out that you had taken it into customer service. I was just sick when I realized I had left it. I was so thankful.
It is good to know that there are really good people in this world. May God bless you. He blessed me through you.
Thank you again.

At 6 p.m. Sunday, Pat McManus will join more than 100 of her brothers and sisters in Christ to raise her voice in song during the annual Moriah Association Mass Choir Concert at Second Baptist Church.
"We aren't professional singers, but when we blend our voices together, it's always beautiful," said McManus, who has been a choir member at White Springs Baptist Church since 1959. "The chance to sing in front of that many people is just an awesome experience."
The chances of a high school teacher and four of his students climbing to the top of gospel music charts are pretty unlikely.
The odds of them remaining there for almost half of a century are even higher, but that's just what the Inspirations have done.
Known as one of the most consistent, solid and successful Southern gospel groups, the Inspirations will be in concert at 7 p.m. Friday at Second Baptist Church.
That just goes to show the Inspirations' sound is timeless, said Dennis Nichols of GlennMark Promotions.
My sweet tooth was aching. Bless Pete, a big, old Buffalo nickel-sized Baby Ruth candy bar would surely ease the pain.
I wasn't financially embarrassed, but I was short on funds. All I had jingling in my pocket was three or four brownies.
I couldn't fight off the urge any longer. Mr. James Hinson's store was up the street past Mr. Hubbard's place, right across the street from Marion Tennant's.
I guess I had to settle for some penny candy bars.
Lauren Rowell knew the opportunity to play softball on an international stage in Eastern Europe last month at the Youth Friendship Games was a once in a lifetime chance.
But that notion didn't really sink in for the rising eighth grader at Buford Middle School until the last out was made.
Rowell, 13, was selected by her United States teammates as its most valuable player in a fast-pitch softball tournament featuring four international softball teams in the 11-to-14 age bracket.
According to Lancaster Police Department reports:
• A Lancaster man was arrested on a drug charge after a traffic stop on Palmetto Street on Aug. 8.
Lynneil Nicoel Funder-burk, 29, 998 Winston Drive, was charged with possession of marijuana and violation of learner's permit.
The report said an officer stopped Funderburk because the truck he was driving had a burned out brake light.
Indian Land High School head football coach Mike Mayer said he was pleased with the Warriors' opening scrimmage at Whitmire on Friday.
Lancaster High's Bennie McMurray and Mike Wells of Buford came away with mixed feelings following their respective teams' play in road scrimmages.
Mayer noted the Warriors posted eight scores and allowed one TD to the host Wolverines.
Kelly Davis is a little disappointed that her summer vacation is about over, but said she is honestly more excited about starting another school year.
Davis, who teaches kindergarten at Indian Land Elementary School, is one of several hundred teachers throughout the Lancaster County School District who are preparing their classrooms for the first day of school next week.
Over the last few days, she's been working on bulletin boards and getting her lesson plans in order. The more you can do on the front end allows the year to get off to a smoother start, she said.
The Palmetto Lightning, a 10-under girls basketball team from the Kershaw, Heath Springs and Lancaster areas, fashioned a 3-3 record in the Youth Basketball of American national tournament earlier this summer.
The Lightning competed in the pool play before entering regular tournament play at Polk County, Fla.
The Lightning capped play with a 20-15 loss to the Georgia Pearls.
Keyotta Garris hit six points and Elizabeth Scott netted five to boost the Lightning. Brantley Ussery scored three and Summer Vick added one point.

Compliance Officers Stretched to the Limit
Richard Steinberg 270004HRBG firstname.lastname@example.com | | Tags:  risk-management dodd-frank compliance openpages | 0 Comments | 2,861 Visits
As a compliance officer, you're dealing with increased regulation and expectations, while related resources are subject to budgetary constraints. Yes, senior managements read the headlines and recognize the reputational and related risks associated with legal and regulatory compliance. But what I and others see are compliance functions having to do more, often without a commensurate increase in resources.
These observations are consistent with a recent Thomson Reuters survey of financial services companies' compliance professionals. The survey shows that compliance officers are struggling to keep up with increasing demands of global regulation – where rapidly growing regulations and increasing responsibilities, together with limited resources and constrained budgets, are causing compliance personnel to reached a "saturation point." A whopping 84 percent of respondents say they expect to deal with more information from regulators and exchanges this year, with almost half expecting the level to be "significantly higher." The increase is expected to come from such events as splitting of the U.K. Financial Services Authority, added regulatory power of the European Supervisory Authorities, expansion of new and existing U.S. regulatory agencies resulting from Dodd-Frank, and expanded enforcement of such regulations as the U.K. Bribery Act and the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act.
The survey results show that compliance responsibilities and expectations are diverging from realistic capabilities. For instance, with a key objective being to coordinate with other company professionals involved with regulatory risk, over half of compliance professionals say they spend less than one hour weekly with internal audit colleagues, and one third spend less than one hour per week with legal and risk professionals. And while 70 percent of respondents expect the cost of senior compliance staff to increase this year, only 11 percent of companies expect a significant increase in budgets.
Also interesting in the statement that: "While keeping executive management informed of regulatory issues is a key part of the compliance role, more than a quarter of respondents say they spend less than one hour a week reporting to their boards. In the U.S., more than half of the companies surveyed spend less than one hour a week reporting to their boards. This raises concerns about whether executive management is being kept sufficiently informed on compliance issues." Well, it's not entirely clear from this as to the extent of interaction between compliance officers and senior management – one hour a week with the board may be just fine, as long as there's significant interaction directly with executive management.
In any event, what we see is compliance departments already working at a fast pace with high efficiency, but they face risks going forward if responsibilities and resources aren't recalibrated to be in sync.

Box-Office Top Five
#1 "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" ($42 million)
#2 "Saw V" ($30.5 million)
#3 "Max Payne" ($7.6 million)
#4 "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" ($6.9 million)
#5 "Pride and Glory" ($6.3 million)
"High School Musical 3: Senior Year" was voted Most Likely to Succeed by audience members this weekend, winning the box office with a hefty $42 million. In doing so, the third entry in Disney's wildly popular song-and-dance series (and the last starring mainstays Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale , et al) scored the best-ever opening for a musical.
From one genre to the next, records were also broken this weekend in horror with a second-place finish and $30.5 million for "Saw V," which pushed the series past "Friday the 13th" as the highest-grossing horror franchise in history.
Mark Wahlberg's "Max Payne" fell 56 percent in its second week, falling to third place with $7.6 million. The video game adaptation has now made $29.7 million overall. Say hi to your mother for me.
Rounding out the top five, "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" and "Pride and Glory" came in fourth and fifth place respectively. With $6.9 million, "Chihuahua" has now made $78.1 million in four weeks. "Pride and Glory," which made $6.3 million, was in its first week of release.
In limited release, Clint Eastwood's "Changeling," starring Angelina Jolie, and Charlie Kaufman's "Synecdoche, New York" had auspicious per-theater averages, boding well for future wide expansion.
Upcoming Releases
Kevin Smith's newest "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," starring Elizabeth Banks and Seth Rogen, opens wide, while "Changeling" expands. Also opening, Guy Ritchie's "RocknRolla."
Check out everything we've got on "High School Musical 3: Senior Year," "Saw V" and "Max Payne."

Should you change your Housing Benefit claim to Local Housing Allowance?
If you have a tenancy with a private landlord from before April 2008 (when LHA was introduced) and are already getting Housing Benefit under the pre-LHA rules, you can check the LHA rate for your property to see if you would be better off changing your claim over to LHA. But from April 2011 it is much less likely that you will be better off by changing over to LHA because the government has reduced the LHA rates that we can use to work out Housing Benefit. Only about three properties in every ten will be affordable for people on Housing Benefit.
If you check the rates and decide that you do want to change to LHA you can fill in a form to end your current Housing Benefit claim and make a new claim under LHA rules. But you must also take into account the following before making a decision and if you are still not sure contact us for advice:
You will not be entitled to any benefit for the period between your claims. You must make an arrangement with your landlord to pay your rent for that period. If you return the form to end your existing claim and the form to make your new LHA claim at the same time, the gap between your claims will only be one week. It will never be less than a week but it may be longer if you delay the claim in any way. For example, if you don't return both forms at the same time or if there is another change in your circumstances and you do not provide evidence about the change.
The LHA rate for your property can change if there is a change in your household.
We (the Benefits Service) will usually review the LHA rate that we are using for your claim on each anniversary of first assessing your claim for LHA. If the rate is different to the rate we are using we will use the new rate to work out your benefit, even if the rate is lower.
You will probably not be able to have your benefit paid directly to your landlord. We will pay you and you will have to arrange to pay your own rent.
Fill in these two forms to ask us to change your claim to LHA : 'Request to end my Housing Benefit claim' and a short version of the 'Housing Benefit claim form'. You must complete both forms so that we can end your current claim and set up a new claim for you as above. Send both forms back to us straightaway.
You can contact us and ask us to send the forms to you if you prefer.

About me and this blog
Wow. Since I started this blog, so much has changed. The number one change? I'm an emergency room nurse and I'm ENGAGED. Also? I can no longer eat gluten. I was diagnosed with celiac disease in February 2011, and it changed my entire life. Not only my diet, but also my attitude toward food and the way I cook and eat. Even if you aren't following a gluten-free diet, I'm confident you will enjoy these recipes. You can substitute your gluten back in, or try eating my way!
When I started writing in September 2009, I was an editor for a biology nonprofit organization in Washington, DC. I followed my love of editing to the Big Apple in October 2010, where I worked for a year at a publishing company in Manhattan. Amazingly, I was lucky enough to realize my true dream while living in the city. So I did what was really hard to do: I gave up the big city life, and in January 2012 I moved home with my parents, I started taking classes at community college, and began applying to nursing schools.
In August 2012, I began nursing school at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. I finished nursing school in December 2013 and have been an emergency room nurse at a major DC hospital since February 2014.
I am a hopeless romantic; aspiring home cook; and lover of golden retrievers, cheese, and bad (and good) TV. I wanted to do what everyone else wants to do when they start a blog—share thoughts, pictures, and things I like while pretending people are listening to me. Someday, I'll write a book. In the meantime, this blog is for me and also for you. I love commenters, I love e-mails, and most of all, I just love to be me. I hope you enjoy!
One of my greatest adventures has been looking for my future boyfriend: I've met some interesting characters along the way, have learned tons about myself, and love to share those stories with you. I finally found The One — referred to affectionately among these pages as Someone — and he asked me to marry him in December 2014.
Please feel free to comment or contact me to tell me what you like and what you disagree with, what you're reading and watching, and what you're up to.
About the food I cook
I use recipes handed down from my mother and friends, from cookbooks, from Cooking Light and other food magazines, from other blogs, from random places on this Internet, and from many other sources. I always attribute the recipe or include where I adapted it from. If you have any questions, let me know.

text: It looks like the New York Observer has somehow yet to find a web host who can withstand a link from Matt Drudge. They're sort of like the goth girl of newspaper websites—when they get any attention they're all, "Oh my God don't look at me I'm so ugly!" Annnd crash. So while their politics desk continues to regularly get stories on the monster uber-crazy-blogger's website (today's apparently is "NY DEMS BAFFLED BY RUDY LEAD: 'I refuse to believe this could happen to our country'... "), their back-office continues to undermine their work. I bet that is really annoying!

I've been trying to acquire a copy of a documentary titled "21st Century Jet: The Building of the 777". This documentary is a 4 part series that details the design and manufacturing of the B777, it was produced in the late 90s by PBS and Channel 4. I've found used VHS copies of this program on E-bay but I would prefer a new or used DVD copy. Would anyone know of a store or website that still sells this great documentary?

I have chronic pain in my shoulders and upper arms. My doctor suggested steroid shots but I am skeptical. I would like to know if steroid shots and effective and if there are any side effects. Thanks
Responses (7)
22 Feb 2012
Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. Usually the doctor will only do a certain number of them so to avoid the potential for any side effects. I have had several over the past 10 years and they worked for awhile. Each of us have different conditions, so it is hard to say whether your will respond favorably or not. Worth a try in my book.
22 Feb 2012
Hi, I have had the steroid injections in my shoulder and at first I was worried about having them, but it was such a relief when I had the injection and the shoulder became more comfortable. I say try it because everyone is different and if there is a chance of pain relief, it is worth a try to see if your one of the lucky ones that it will work for you. Good luck, liz.
22 Feb 2012
I would say it depends on what is wrong with your shoulder. For bursitis , cortisone shots are miraclous, but if it is a torn rotator cuff, you may need surgery as the shot may help for a short time, but then wears off & back comes the pain. Uppper arm pain also sounds like rotator cuff problems... Mary
24 Feb 2012
What caused your pain? Did you injury yourself playing a sport? My experience has been an injection that is a combination of cortisone and steroids. Typically it only takes a few shots to resolve the problem. If you sustained a sports injury I would see a sports medicine doctor as they deal with these issues more often than orthopedic doctors. Good luck.
Good answer, but wanted to add that my hubby who is disabled, (but not in his head ofcourse he isn't ,& overdose things) tore his rotator cuff by pulling a lawn mower cord that back lashed on him & pulled his shoulder so bad it ripped the rotator cuff badly, so any type of injury can casue this besides sports, but a great answer & I do reccomend a sports orthopaedic... Mary
18 Sep 2013
They only worked temporarily. I had 4 of them in my shoulder. Since 10 to 14 years later, I have more pain in that arm than I have in stroke arm which is not good. And I greatly wanted one in my stroke arm months after my stroke when my arm hurt more than anything I could have imagined. They said no based on my history of having those 4 injections. I would limit them if anyone decides to get them.

Look who turned 20 this month: Fort St. George. That's arthritic in restaurant years. But not for this Japanese pub. It still struts in the Chinatown International District. It had its phases — anime and Japanese patrons in A Flock of Seagulls-style hairdos were my favorites.
Trends come and go here, but its spaghetti with garlic mayonnaise will always be with us. That was St. George's beloved dish a decade ago when it was a smoky room filled with comic books and Japanese hipsters with blond hair. (It was a hangout of former Mariners pitcher Kazuhiro Sasaki, too.)
It's still a popular dish, with young Uniqlo worshippers and the mainstream who have discovered the bar through social media. Fort St. George is now a hangout for Seahawk fans during tailgating hours.
To the uninitiated, the menu looks like it was concocted by a child who made his own after-school snack without adult supervision. There's ketchup-flavored chicken fried rice with omelet; hamburger steak dressed up in several variations from curry to soy sauce; and the famous spaghetti dish.

It's comfort food done with a Japanese sensibility.
The portions are generous. The juicy hamburger steak — think Salisbury steak — is more than a half-pound and sits on a bed of al dente spaghetti. And if you get it with tomato sauce, it's not much different from spaghetti and meatballs. Better, though, is that pasta with meat sauce, topped with garlic mayo for a rich, buttery texture. It's aromatic and addicting.
At the bar, the usual suspects — Kirin and Sapporo — are showcased, though the can of Asahi Super Dry beer is your best bet. Or order the Japanese whiskey if it's not sold out. You can order it with club soda like they do in Tokyo. But Fort St. George offers the most generous pour of Yamazaki 12-year in this city. I like mine neat, filled to the rim, a bit over 2 ounces, for only $10.
Fort St. George, 601 S. King St. (second floor), offers happy hour 3-6 p.m. Mondays-Thursdays and again 10-11:30 p.m. with $1 off on the house sake, wine and bottled beer, and $2-$5 appetizers (206-382-0662 or fortstgeorgeseattle.com).

Tagline: Chaos reigns
Synopsis: A grieving couple retreats to their cabin 'Eden' in the woods, hoping to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. But nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse.
Round-up: Not being bold enough is not likely to be one of the criticisms to meet Lars Von Trier's "Antichrist", which caused quite the stir in its press screenings at Cannes. Roger Ebert called it the most despairing film he's ever seen: "It is an audacious spit in the eye of society. It says we harbor an undreamed-of capacity for evil. It transforms a psychological treatment into torture undreamed of in the dungeons of history. Torturers might have been capable of such actions, but they would have lacked the imagination. Von Trier is not so much making a film about violence as making a film to inflict violence upon us, perhaps as a salutary experience. It's been reported that he suffered from depression during and after the film. You can tell." Reuters reported that the film's screening "elicited derisive laughter, gasps of disbelief, a smattering of applause and loud boos." In the article, Von Trier was quoted as saying: "I can offer no excuse for 'Antichrist' ... other than my absolute belief in the film -- the most important film of my entire career!" In a blog entry entitled "Antichrist = Fartbomb,"Jeffrey Wells seems to disagree, calling the film "easily one of the biggest debacles in Cannes Film Festival history and the complete meltdown of a major film artist in a way that invites comparison to the sinking of the Titanic." Austin 360's Charles Ealy, however, said he felt like he just experienced a moment in cinematic history. "The movie's violence has an emotional impact that hasn't been seen since Gaspar Noe's 'Irreversible,' which premiered here a few years ago," he says. "Critics will be debating whether these images were justified by the story, but part of the point is apparently to shock. Cinematic precedents exist, of course, but the explicitness of these scenes take "Antichrist" way beyond what's come before." indieWIRE's own Anthony Kaufman also found cautiously positive things to say about the film in his review, noting that "while there's no doubt that the place he goes is off a precipitous edge, one can't deny the film's continuing primal power." Finally, in a not-quite review , Entertainment Weekly's Lisa Schwarzbaum suggests it was "the kind of scandal-courting press premiere on Sunday evening that the wily Danish bad-boy filmmaker must have hoped for": "The movie looks almost tauntingly great, of course, with von Trier's longtime collaborator (and Slumdog Millionaire Oscar winner) Anthony Dod Mantle as cinematographer. So it's one good-looking, publicity-grabbing provocation, with an overlay of pseudo-Christian allegory thrown in to deflect a reasonable person's accusations of misogyny. As a kicker, the director dedicates the picture to the memory of the great Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky -- a final flip of the bird to the Cannes audience."

As a life-long "original" Elvis fan, I consider myself very fortunate to have seen and/or met many of Elvis' legendary musicians and singers over the years....and Elvis himself! It's always a thrill and an honour to see the musicians who performed with Elvis, and, yes, to hear a great singer who can sing the songs with class and dignity and keep the music alive. This month I thought I'd try to capture some of that magic through three fan accounts I received after the recent shows at Casino Rama. Many, many thanks to Ronnie McDowell, Scotty Moore, DJ Fontana, the Jordanaires, and Bob Moore for making dreams come true, yet once again.
Alex Nugent, originally from Newfoundland, belongs to the Love for Elvis Fan Club, and lives in Newmarket, Ontario. Alex was picked at random from the audience by Ronnie McDowell, who asked what his favourite Elvis song was and if he wanted to sing it along with all the musicians/singers on stage and Ronnie, himself. Alex's heartfelt reply, which immediately endeared him to every single person in the audience, as his sincerity came shining through, was that "it would be my dream come true." Well, let me tell you...Alex sang a GREAT rendition of "My Way" and received a standing ovation and thunderous applause/cheers from the sold out audience of 5,200 people. Here is Alex's story.
"I come from humble beginnings. I grew up in rural Newfoundland, an only child. I skipped several grades in school and I found it awkward to make friends among my class mates. I gravitated toward the radio and quickly learned to find stations that played rock 'n' roll music both in Canada and U.S.A. Like a lot of Newfoundland kids, Elvis was one of my idols. I bought his records and went to his movies. I traced his humble beginnings and knew about his early band. I have great respect for Scotty Moore as a pioneer guitarist in forming rock 'n' roll music. Scotty had to develop his own style. Today's young musicians have a wealth of role models and various styles to emulate. D.J. Fontana was also an integral part of Elvis' band with the late Bill Black. And I have tremendous respect for the gospel music of the Jordanaires. They were a successful gospel group before they joined Elvis.
What would be the chances of this small town boy from Kelligrews, Newfoundland, ever seeing, let alone meeting, such talent? How can I describe the euphoria of performing with Ronnie McDowell and these artists? Let me say, also, that the sound equipment and the engineers would truly enhance any performance including my own.
It was a dream that I could not have imagined -- I will be forever grateful to the 5,000+ in attendance who gave me a standing ovation. I thank God for this experience."
Members of the Love for Elvis fan club: Wendy King, President Ronda Marson, Alex Nugent, Bertha Hurdman.
Rod Hand flew from Newfoundland to Ontario to have his guitar signed and to meet the stars of the show.
It was like a dream come true for me. The clapping, the screaming, the yelling–I did it all, along with 5,200 other people. The show was a complete sell out...the show was magnificent. Ronnie came through just like I knew he would. Every song was sung with great enthusiasm and he was just great! I did manage to give him a teddy bear and after the show, I stood in line for about 2 hours waiting to see him up close, maybe shake hands and say "good show." I managed to get my picture taken with Ronnie. It was the thrill of my life being this close to him.
It's not every evening, after watching a wonderful concert, that I find myself sitting in a restaurant alongside the stars of the show...talking to Ray Walker of the Jordanaires, with Scotty Moore, DJ Fontana, Bob Moore, and Ronnie McDowell sitting at adjoining tables. And it's not every evening that the multi-talented Ronnie McDowell, a noted songwriter in addition to being such a talented singer and artist, comes over to the table where I am sitting to chat and to sing a brand new song that he's just written for LeAnn Rimes to record. As you can imagine, this was an evening I won't forget either.....and, remember that you heard it here: LeAnn Rimes is going to have a million seller on her hands...a great new song called "Insane," written by Ronnie McDowell!
Liz Mahoney is a life-long Elvis fan and one who has wanted to see and meet Ronnie McDowell for years. Here is her account of what it was like to finally attend a Ronnie McDowell concert.

Taken from my blog epiccyclist.com hope you like it.
After a full summer of biking and camping, I had a chance to head out for my first solo bikepacking trip of the season. Asking really nicely my wife's permission, off to the Sunshine coast I went for what turned out to be a fun overnight trip.
I always like the ferry, especially when I take it with my bike. It feels like I'm heading to a far away land. Ok, the ferry ride is only 45 minutes, but still, it feels like it . I seem to always meet cool people when I'm on the bike for some reason; not sure why. This time I met a para-glider heading the same way for a flight somewhere on the coast. Talking to him for most of the trip and exchanging adventure plans, we realized that we knew some of the same people! Funny how it's such a small world...
Once on the other side, I rode an easy 30 km on the road to Porpoise bay campground but first stopped in Sechelt to buy food for that evening. Once at the campground, I set up my tent, and since it was still fairly early, I went for a walk around the park. I had been there in July with my family. It made me nostalgic for them, but only for a quick minute.
The next morning I was up a bit late, since I had such a good sleep I couldn't get out of the tent, I was just too comfortable. Finally, I got my lazy ass out of bed, made breakfast, packed up and headed for the hills. As usual in BC, the start of a ride is always a grind up; to the heavens I went...
It was hot that day and most of the climb was exposed, so needless to say, I was sweating. It was a fairly mellow pace, with the hardest part being avoiding the bear crap all over the place. Those bears eat a LOT of blackberries! I'm sure they where craving for meat... luckily I never saw one!
The Sunshine coast has a lot of trails that go in every direction, so it's easy to get lost or miss a trail head. You need to bring your A-game for navigation here. It's easy to take the wrong turn, but just remember if you're lost, just head south and you'll hit the road eventually - hopefully...
The trails are pretty typical for BC south coast, but one section that was really cool was a car graveyard I stumbled onto. I didn't expect that! It was kind of cool weaving through trees and old cars at the same time. First time I've done that.
The point of this trip was really to test my bikepacking gear on real trails, and it was a good opportunity to test it out in preparation for next year's big epics. I was surprised how well my Revelate bags held up to the task. I can honestly say that in most sections of trail I could hardly tell they were there. The only time I wished I didn't have them was on steeps. Those where pretty sketchy, I just couldn't get back far enough and had a few close calls.
Now it was back to Langdale to catch the ferry home after riding solo in the hills for over 5 hours from Porpoise bay, all in the bush. How cool is that?! Way more fun than taking the road that's for sure. If any of you ever want to hook up or need a guide, I'm always keen. Hopefully I still have time for one more big ride before the season is over. That's if work doesn't get in the way...

This was a great podcast.

This was a great podcast. Being a parent must be incredibly hard these days. My parents did a decent job raising me and my siblings, but sometimes I worry about my youngest sister. My parents are still quite technologically challenged. They have embraced good technology in their lives but I don't think they are taking the precautions necessary when it comes to protecting my youngest sister, as well as themselves, from the filth that so heavily populates the internet. I think all parents should be given some type of awareness class which instructs them, or gives them ideas on how to protect their families. Our 50 plus year old parents don't know what dangers are out there lurking to entrap their families, and they need to know how to protect against them. Anyways, I am going to suggest my parents take some time to listen to a select few podcasts which I hope will open their eyes to the many ways that Satan is trying to get into their home.

These truths are very disturbing. I try to think that it won't be that bad for my family but that can not be the case. The crimes and ease of pornographic trouble is only increasing. I feel like I'm understanding of technology right now, but I'll have to be careful not to give my kids, when I have them, more then they can handle. I'll also have to understand future technologies that I could bring trouble to my unprepared children.

Mick Jagger, 70, to Be a Great-Grandfather! Report
Forget "Moves Like Jagger." It's time for "Moves Like Great-Grandpa"!
Rolling Stones legend Mick Jagger, 70, will reportedly be a great-grandfather in early 2014 when his daughter Jade's eldest girl Assisi gives birth. According to The Mirror, Assisi, 21, is now three months pregnant. She and her boyfriend have been dating for more than a year.
Mick is said to be "delighted" and has no problem being a great-grandfather. But it's reportedly hitting his daughter Jade a bit harder to know she'll be a grandmother at 42. Sorry, Nana!
Sir Mick is father to seven kids (ages 14-42) with four different women. He has four grandchildren. This will be his first of probably many great-grandchildren. (This could be your future, Harry Styles!)
With such a big family, we have to think Mick has finally gotten that "Satisfaction" he's been waiting for. Congrats to the whole clan!

Stylish Deck Mounted Tub Filler Faucet with Hand Held Shower Kit & Wall Bracket
Great Quality (in This Day And Age Of Plastic !) And The Price Was Half Of The Well-known Brands! Plumber Says It's High Quality!
Just had this installed by my plumber, and wanted to let you know that he says it's really a HIGH QUALITY piece ! He was impressed with the price too (as I was!) I looked at much more expensive tub fillers but did not see one with all the 'perks' I wanted, goodse necked faucett, that actually swivels! I would recommend this highly!
Shower/Tub Waterfall Filler
Beautiful design and quality!
Single Control Floor Mounted Thermostatic Tub Shower Faucet
Good Product !
I received the Tub Faucet fast and in fine shape.My professional plumber had a little difficulty installing it as the hoses were tricky to attach.We built a stand to mount it to our floor.Be sure to access where the Filler is mounted.I am very leased with the Tub Filler.
Single Control Floor Mounted Thermostatic Tub Shower Faucet
Studily Build With Some Installation Concerns
As a professional plumber for over 31 years, this faucet is solidly built and elegantly designed. I am installing it in a residential project that is just getting underway. The height of the spout is not adjustable so there may be an issue with a tub that's not very tall. Additionally have a concern that the length of the hot and cold supply hoses and the shape/depth of the floor cover plate will not easily lend itself to the installation of shut off valves. Stay tunes for updates as the project advances.
Topaz Monoblock Bidet faucet
Great Bidet Faucet
This is a great looking bidet faucet that seems to be of high quality - heavy, good finish, easy swivel faucet head, nice traditional styling and even comes with two sets of handles, cross or straight. We haven't installed it yet, but I expect based on Hudson Reed quality that it will function well.

DUI Preliminary Hearing
So you were arrested for a DUI, and brought before the judge. Under your attorney's advice, you plead not guilty. At the time, you knew that pleading "guilty" would mean that you admitted to the charges, and wanted to go straight to sentencing. But, you chose the constitutional right to a trial. If you got out on bail, you may be sitting at home wondering what will happen next. Rather than go to trial, the next step is called a "preliminary hearing." The following article covers the basics of a preliminary hearing, and what you should expect.
Preliminary Hearing Basics
Usually held soon after arraignment, a preliminary hearing is best described as a "trial before the trial" at which the judge decides not whether the defendant is "guilty" or "not guilty," but whether there is enough evidence to force the defendant to stand trial. In making this determination, the judge uses the "probable cause" legal standard, deciding whether the government has produced enough evidence to convince a reasonable jury that the defendant committed the crime(s) charged. Depending on the circumstances surrounding your arrest, this may or may not be a fast proceeding.
What to Expect at the Preliminary Hearing
In reaching this probable cause decision, the judge listens to arguments from the government (through a government attorney, or "prosecutor"), and from the defendant (usually through his or her attorney). The prosecutor may call witnesses to testify, and can introduce physical evidence in an effort to convince the judge that the case should go to trial. The defense usually cross-examines the government's witnesses and calls into question any other evidence presented against the defendant, seeking to convince the judge that the prosecutor's case is not strong enough, so that the case against the defendant is dismissed before trial.
Preliminary Hearing: Not in Most DUI Cases
It is important to note that most DUI cases do not reach the preliminary hearing stage. In the majority of such cases, the arraignment usually represents the first and last time the suspect will be in court, as most DUI suspects choose to plead guilty, especially if evidence of intoxication is strong. This is normally the case when the defendant took a breathalyzer test which shows that the defendant had a blood alcohol content (BAC) over the legal limit.
Furthermore, a preliminary hearing may not be held in every DUI case in which a "not guilty" plea is entered. Some states conduct preliminary hearings only when a felony is charged, and other states utilize a "grand jury indictment" process in which a designated group of citizens decides whether, based on the government's evidence, the case should proceed to trial. Last but not least, though exceedingly rare in DUI cases, the possibility always exists that any time prior to the preliminary hearing the case will be resolved through a plea bargain between the government and the defendant.
If you would like to know more about the DUI process, or have questions that are specific to your DUI case, you may want to contact a DUI attorney in your area who may be able to help.

Cool, but there's room for improvement
This review is from: Belkin - F5Z0340FC - Wemo Switch Plus Motion Sensor
Pros: Easy enough for almost any end user to setup. IFTTT integration is nice, but if your internet goes down you lose that ability. They have an interesting product lineup, can't wait to see more devices.
Cons: The motion sensor is very sensitive, and there's no way to adjust it. It has a tendency of sensing motion when there is none, which depending on what you're using it for could be an issue. Also, the wall warts are HUGE, expect to completely lose your socket for one of these, or if plugged into a surge strip three outlets. Firmware upgrades to the motion sensor were buggy, as I had to unplug it both times the firmware wanted to upgrade because it never came back up. In the app, the motion sensor can trigger the outlet and turn it off instantly or after 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc. It would be MUCH better if I could enter in my own duration instead of the presets. Like, 10 seconds would be perfect, as immediately turning off is too quick, and one minute is too long.
Other Thoughts: I currently have the motion sensor Velcro'd to the ceiling on my outside porch, with the wire running into the house. In my bedroom I have the switched outlet hooked up to a rotating lamp. I have a rule setup so when there's motion the lamp will illuminate for one minute so I'll know someone is at the door. This works quite well, but in the app I had to set a schedule because it was detecting motion all hours of the night and waking me up, when my cameras showed no motion at the front door.

This review is from: Belkin - F5Z0340FC - Wemo Switch Plus Motion Sensor
Pros: Easy setup.
Cons: Devices are on the bulky side of things.
Other Thoughts: used only with app devices. mini and iphone.

nice devices
This review is from: Belkin - F5Z0340FC - Wemo Switch Plus Motion Sensor
Pros: Setup instructions were easy to follow, as long as you understood that you had to connect directly to the unit first (the WeMo network), then connect the unit to your wireless router. Good thing is once you connected to the WeMo network, the rest of the setup was automated. I connected the switch on my first try. The motion sensor, however, failed to connect to my router. It took a couple tries before it connected.
Cons: Design is a bit bulky. The motion sensor takes up so much space when plugged into a wall outlet that you can't plug in anything else.
Other Thoughts: Overall, I think the switch would be very useful for anything you want to remotely turn on and off. The motion sensor, however, I have yet to find a use for.

Works good.
This review is from: Belkin - F5Z0340FC - Wemo Switch Plus Motion Sensor
Pros: Farly easy to setup. Pretty much plug and play.
Cons: I don't know if it was just me, but both infrared sensor and remote switch was not factory reset. I had to factory reset for them to be recognized by WeMo app.

Nifty, but you'll battle with the app
This review is from: Belkin - F5Z0340FC - Wemo Switch Plus Motion Sensor
Pros: Man, this thing is super convenient. Need to turn on the lights but don't want to leave your warm bed? This is the type of thing for it. Have a window A/C and want to turn it on before you go home? Yep, it has you covered. Curious to see who walks by your kitchen? Sure, why not!
Cons: While I can speak specifically about the awesomeness of the Switch, the motion sensor left a lot to be desired. It was not at all accurate. After pairing it with IFTTT, I had it follow a recipe that logged all motion to a Google Drive spreadsheet. To say it was overactive would be an understatement. Every 5 to 15 minutes, this thing would pick up activity even with no one or nothing moving in the room. In fact, it was facing a wall at one point and picking up activity. I'm not exactly sure if it's a motion sensor or a noise detector, but in either case, motion or noise didn't ever seem to be the trigger. It was entirely random, so I didn't think it'd be wise to pair for an IFTTT recipe such as automatic lights-on.
Other Thoughts: This may the be the longest I've ever spent on reviewing a product, as there were enough complications to get past and new changes throughout the whole time period. It's a good device, it really is; it provides me a lot of convenience and I really enjoy the potential control it gives me. Actually controlling them is a completely different beast though. If you have an iPhone, great! Enjoy the experience. If you have an Android device, well, good luck! It would be nice to hear back from their Android development team to see why on earth the Android app is so awful.

Great entry into home automation
This review is from: Belkin - F5Z0340FC - Wemo Switch Plus Motion Sensor
Pros: App for both Android & iOS
Cons: No security, anyone who has the app can use them
Other Thoughts: The WeMo remote switch is a great entry into home automation by Belkin. At over $70 it's a tad pricey, but compared to similar home automation solutions from a few years ago it's a steal. What really makes this a great device is the app. Belkin provides a free app for both Android & Apple iOS devices which allows you to configure and control the switch. This could be considered a con because if you don't use either of those devices, this product is useless to you! A Windows app or simple web page to configure, which is standard on most wifi home appliance type devices might have been a nice feature.

Decent Entry into Home Automation
This review is from: Belkin - F5Z0340FC - Wemo Switch Plus Motion Sensor

Easy Entry into Home Automation
This review is from: Belkin - F5Z0340FC - Wemo Switch Plus Motion Sensor
Pros: *Belkin's WeMo Switch + Motion is a simple and relatively inexpensive vehicle into the home automation world. Its ease of use, fool-proof setup, and wide-ranging customizability proves that it'll be a tough contender in the ever expanding market field of home automation. It definitely is now one of my favorite tech gadgets.*
Cons: - Although the app is intuitive and sports a comprehensive GUI, it's slightly unresponsive. I don't know if the lag that often occurs within the app is due to delay in communication with the WeMo itself or if it's just the app to blame, but the latency is somewhat frustrating. Thankfully, most users will only have to use the app once or twice to set up their initial desired condition and won't have to toy with it again until you want to assign it a different use.
Other Thoughts: - If you're looking to turn on a lamp with your smart phone, don't buy the WeMo. I say this because it has capabilities much beyond that simple task. It would be an utter waste to not use the WeMo to its full extent: using the motion detector to turn a device on/off with an IFTTT scenario integrated in is the way to put the WeMo to work for you. Or for that matter, to set an appliance that requires a complicated time schedule that would never be achievable before the invention of technology like this. Have something in mind when purchasing this product, but then again, either way you'll find a way to use WeMo.

Programmable Switch
This review is from: Belkin - F5Z0340FC - Wemo Switch Plus Motion Sensor
Pros: Fast and easy setup
Cons: App crashes frequently
Other Thoughts: These Belkin WeMo devices make a standard Edison outlet become switched over WiFi and the motion sensor can control other WeMo devices. The setup instructions are very simple but only for apple and android mobile devices. I searched around but couldn't find any official applications from Belkin to configure these devices using a desktop or laptop. I was able to setup the motion sensors in seconds but the switch did not display in my list of WiFi networks. To correct this I had to search Belkin's website to discover how to reset the switch then I was able to complete setup.

So I am checking out local roads, looking for a good safe bike route to work, and I come across this irony. The side roads don't go through. There are only two roads that go through. One is a 50 MPH road with 6 lanes of traffic and a skinny bike lane that goes to a very busy intersection (that with left turn lanes opens up to 8 lanes of traffic). The other is way out of the way down and up a very steep hill. That latter road is however rather quiet.
Now here is the irony... where several roads don't go through, they are stopped by acres and acres of pavement... parking lots of the local high tech businesses. That's right, side streets don't connect, but the area is completely paved over anyway... with the exception of the landscaping between parking lots.
So an astute city planner or transportation planner might look at this and see an opportunity... but as yet, apparently the city believes that cycling on 50MPH arterial roads is better.
All it would take to make a complete route is connections through some parking lot landscaping.
Take a look at this google map... http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll...fox-a&t=h&z=17
Notice Pacific Center drive, Sequence Drive and Mira Mesa Blvd (the high speed arterial road).
BTW the same thing also occurs south of Mira Mesa. But the only road with bike lanes or bike route is Mira Mesa, the wide high speed arterial road. Make sense? No, I didn't think so.

how do i prove a puppy i sold did not get parvo here
Customer Question
i do not have parvo and have other littermates that are fine and the other littermates that went to other homes are fine. i also had another litter 2 weeks younger and all of them are fine as well as a three week old litter. the two older litters played with each other and only one pup 7 days after leaving and being vaccinated on the day it left is diagnosed with parvo. it was also diagnosed with giardia which did come from here but they were given flagyl and the owners said they were not upset over that as they know it is common in pups. i am anal about vaccinations and make everyone step in bleach solution before coming on the property. they want a full refund on the pup and keep the pup which they say is beautiful and she is and well bred too. i normally only have a litter at a time but wanted to prove a new male so hence the other litters. i am licensed and have an A rating for over 10 years consistantly and everyone else with pups are happy. any thoughts?

I would recommend getting your vaccination records for all the puppies from that litter to show that they were all vaccinated and also that none showed that they were diagnosed with parvo.Also if they want to keep the puppy I hope that you did have them sign a contract as it is very unlikely that only one out of the litter would contract parvo with the fact that all of your other puppies have been around that puppy and do not have parvo and your veterinarian should be willing to verify that. It is not common for a seller to allow a customer to keep a puppy and also be responsible for the vet bills as well and I feel if you get the vaccinations and a statement from your veterinarian that this can help to show proof that the puppy did not contract parvo from your residence. It only takes one day for a puppy that young with a low resistance level to come into contact with an animal in their yard and contract it so chances are higher it could have been contracted after leaving your home.If they kept her for three days after finding out the diagnosis then that should cover you as far as the expenses they out out and out them on their responsibility but most importantly get those vet records to show they were vaccinated and all other puppies and the mother and father do not have parvo and that would greatly protect you. The fact they want to keep the puppy after the puppy being diagnosed with parvo makes me suspicious that they are trying to get money out of you and I would stand my ground on not paying their vet bills as with most contracts a purchaser has 48 hours to return the puppy and ask for a refund which they did not and when they do try to get vet bills paid they do not get to keep the puppy and this is what you need to stress to them. Thank you for requesting me and do let me know if you have any other questions.

Visit Miami Boyz
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
Save yourself a trip to South Beach and check out the hotties on Miami Boyz. For over 10 years, the hottest Latinos from Miami have stripped and jerked off for the lucky photographers on this site. This massive archive awaits you with Grade A Latino meat. We loved it all when we first visited a few years ago, so let's see how it's doing now.
We continue to be more than satisfied with the humongous portion of hombres on board. I can't stress enough the sheer hotness of the Latin studs found in this collection. There are loads of Latinos on MiamiBoyz in the 18 to 21 age range and you can check them out in 359 videos. The quality varies between the older and newer ones, but a decent number offer great-quality playback and some are in HD. It looks like they can all be streamed and downloaded.
For the most part, the movies show you jerk-off sessions with some of the hottest models. There are some hardcore shoots, too, so you'll see some sucking and fucking. They even manage to convince some straight guys to give the whole gay thing a try and some of them take to it surprisingly well.
There are also about 555 photo galleries to see in automatic slideshows and save in Zip files. Fresh-faced dudes with hard bodies strip down to show you just what Latino machismo is all about. The sets contain around 50 big pictures of the spicy stud. For each fine fellow there's a nice bio that includes tidbits such as cock size and favorite sexual activity.
It's amazing to see these rough, straight Latinos shuck their shorts and show you their massive beef burritos. All these guys are super-hot amateurs, but a good number of the galleries have special themes. They show men in Speedos or having sex on the beach. The site also has fiction and subscriber-submitted stories, as well as a section of extra vids that you can stream.
Providing red-hot Latino action for over a decade, this site has amassed an archive of fresh meat for you to sample. I'm not sure if the weekly updates always bring you new scenes, because I suspect that sometimes they recycle the content. Still, who knew there were so many hot boys strutting down the streets of Miami who would willingly strip for little bit of cash? Miami Boyz has some mouthwatering talent.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

In 2000, internet was a rich mans tooltechnology of the West. In 2013, emerging markets are the mediums growth drivers. Recent initiatives by Facebook and Google to bring new users online from developing countries, such as India, Indonesia, Brazil, are a pointer to this. Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook, has announced an ambitious partnership, internet.org, with the goal of making internet access available to the next 5 billion people. Google, the Mountain View, California-based company expects 500 million new users from emerging markets to come online, compared to only 15 million new users from the US.
India will play a very significant role in bringing the next billion customers online, says Lalitesh Katragadda, country head, products, Google India. Traditionally, India has been an under-penetrated market which has meant a vast scope and opportunity to grow here. There are many trends which point towards this growth. Indian users are evolving and so is the Google platform to cater to them. Our aim is to bring the usage in India from the current 100-120 million to 200 million and we believe that the trends in the country are highly favourable for this development. he adds.
What happens when a billion new people come online? Both the internet biggies profess that one of the first things they will do is use the Web to express their entrepreneurial spirit, grow their businesses and share their culture. Also, the Web is a big enabler for small and medium businesses, hence a win-win for both the parties; the internet companies as well as the consumer.
Globally, there are 2.7 billion people internet users. The number of mobile phone subscriptions has also mushroomed to reach the five billion mark this year. At 73.9 million home and work internet users, the Indian online population currently ranks as the 3rd largest in the world after China and the US, says comScore. With 75% of its internet users under the age of 35, India has the youngest skewing online population among BRIC countries.
Back to the Facebook-led initiative. The social networking firm will be working with Ericsson, MediaTek, Nokia, Opera, Qualcomm and Samsung, to develop joint projects, share knowledge, and mobilise industry and governments to bring the world online. Today we connect more than 1.15 billion people each month, but as we started thinking about connecting the next 5 billion, we realised something important: the vast majority of people in the world

All eukaryotes have genes which code for the enzyme telomerase. These entities vary amongst species, but telomeres are always guanine rich tandem repeats of DNA, and telomerase always contains a complimentary strand of RNA. Telomeres are specialized structures at the end of linear chromosomes. Through the formation of t-loops and the binding of shelterin complexes, they make chromosomes structurally and chemically stable. Due to the inability of DNA polymerase to fully replicate a chromosome during mitosis, in a process termed the end replication problem, each replicative event results in a shortened chromosome end. This shortening allows for telomeres to act as an intrinsic mitotic clock, a measure of a cell's generational age. After a fixed number of mitotic cycles, known as the Hayflick limit, a cell enters replicative senescence and ceases to divide. The enzyme telomerase is a reverse transcriptase which enables and catalyzes the lengthening of chromosome ends by \emph{de novo} DNA synthesis. In healthy somatic and germ-line cells telomerase is absent, whereas in stem cells and the large majority of cancerous cells it is present. In this thesis, we derive deterministic equations of motion from a chemical master equation which describe the behaviour of a cell population. They are a coupled finite set of first-order ordinary differential equations which incorporate mitosis, acute death, stem cell differentiation, telomerase activity, and apoptotic death. Their solutions allow for the derivation of characteristic functions which predict the number of cells, and average telomere length in a population of cells. By modelling the dynamics of telomere shortening due to the end replication problem and telomere elongation via the action of telomerase, we investigate the relationship between aging and cancer. Specifically, we find that if the rate of telomerase is above a critical value it has the effect producing a population with a divergent number of cells. This unrestrained proliferation is one of the hallmarks of cancer. Further, consistent with some experiments, we find that telomerase can lead to shorter average telomere lengths.

We present a tight-binding model of biased and unbiased bilayer graphene that is used to calculate the nonlinear terahertz response. Dynamic equations are developed for the electron density matrix within the length gauge. These equations facilitate the calculation of interband and intraband carrier dynamics. We then obtain nonlinear transmitted and reflected terahertz fields using the calculated nonlinear interband and intraband current densities. We examine the nonlinear response of unbiased bilayer graphene as a function of the incident field amplitude. In this case the sample is taken to be undoped. In the reflected field, we find the maximum third harmonic amplitude to be approximately 30\% of the fundamental frequency for an incident field of 1.5 kV cm$^{-1}$, which is greater than that found in undoped monolayer graphene at the same field amplitude. To examine the nonlinear response of biased bilayer graphene, we investigate two different scenarios. In the first scenario, we consider an undoped sample at fixed temperature. We find that when the external bias has a value of 2 meV, the generated third harmonic in the reflected field is approximately 45\% of the fundamental for an incident field amplitude of 2 kV cm$^{-1}$. When we increase the external bias further to 8 meV, we find the generated third harmonic field is approximately 38\% of the fundamental for an incident field amplitude of 1 kV cm$^{-1}$. For both of these bias values, the generated third harmonic is greater than that found in undoped monolayer graphene. In that system, the generated third harmonic field is approximately 32\% of the fundamental for an incident field amplitude of 200 V cm$^{-1}$ In the second scenario, we consider doped biased bilayer graphene. We fix the carrier density at 2$\times$10$^{12}$ cm$^{-2}$, the incident field amplitude at 50 kV cm$^{-1}$, and examine the response as a function of the external bias. We find the largest third harmonic amplitude is approximately 8\% of the fundamental for a bias of 0 meV (zero bias).

The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G) provides a view at a wavelength largely unaffected by extinction that probes the older stellar populations of 2352 galaxies, of which a subset of 316 galaxies are selected for analysis based on size and morphology. The non-parametric fitting algorithm DiskFit is first used to model the bar, bulge, and disk from S4G-like simulated galaxy images to validate DiskFit's effectiveness and assess its strengths and weaknesses on the subsample. DiskFit is easily able to recover input disk and bar properties, while struggling to recover the input bulge properties. After validating DiskFit on simulated galaxy images, DiskFit is then used to model the components of the S4G subsample, while comparing to existing models made using the parametric algorithm GALFIT from the literature. It is found that DiskFit and GALFIT constrain the bar and disk similarly for the majority of the subsample galaxies, but the bulges are recovered differently. Most of the models with the two algorithms agree well, but many of them fail in either DiskFit or GALFIT. It is suggested that the verification of an algorithm on a relevant set of models is necessary, that parameterizing all of the bars with the same functional form is not optimal for all galaxies, and that the large scatter between values recovered in DiskFit and GALFIT relative to the mean uncertainty values returned by DiskFit's bootstrap resampling technique implies a reconsideration of how uncertainties are handled when constraining these components, in order to test current models of galaxy formation and evolution.

However, the extremely small lateral dimension of the tunneling filament is also responsible for locally exciting photon emission with low-energy electrons. By combining an optical system to capture emitted photons with a conventional STM a powerful tool is realized. Optical, in addition to the geometrical and electrical, properties of atomic structures may be studied simultaneously at sub-Angstrom spatial resolution. This information could potentially be used as a means for chemically identifying individual molecules on surfaces. Furthermore, a complete understanding of luminescent molecules at the nanometer length scale could have implications with regard to nanoscale electronic devices. This thesis presents an innovative design of a novel STM in conjunction with an optical system to study the electroluminescence of nanoscale objects. The STM features (1) a parabolic mirror as the primary optical component for photon capture, (2) simplified miniature piezoelectric actuated inertial z-motors and xy-positioning stage used to position the tunnel junction at the focal point of the parabolic mirror, (3) high photon collection efficiency equal to 0.90pi steradians and (4) capacitive displacement sensors monitoring the position of the tunnel junction in three-dimensions. This document reveals how the combination of these features makes this STM design superior to existing designs. The design of the STM, the importance of its features and the characterization of its performance are discussed in detail.
