Recent reviews
Excellent 4.3 /5 from 55 reviews
Great place. Near ocean. Beautiful details in rooms. Very attentive owner and staff. Mostly fish served at restaurants. Wifi was weak on third floor. I had to go down in restaurant area. Staff leaves at night. Easy to drive to Utah beach a b d omaha. Juno beach exhibit is across the street. Comfortable beds and rooms.
We had a super time here. Super room, new, fresh, bright, clean, with modern fixtures and fun decorations. We had a hard time finding the little separate building we were booked in, but were extremely happy with the room once we found it. The parking spots were full but we found one nearby on the street. The beach is a short walk away. Great breakfast with delicious croissants. Would definitely stay here again.
The room is very small even by European standards but very clean. Hotel restaurant was not on a par with others in the area. The staff is very helpful and speaks good English.
Great little port with excellent fresh fish
We were originally booked to stay in the annexe, but on arrival we were very kindly offered to stay in the main hotel where the rooms would normally be more expensive. The rooms were recently refurbed (with themed decor of interesting objects!) and very spacious and comfortable. Although we were there for only one night we had a lovely time - thank you very much for your hospitality

Sunny was born in Michigan in June 2012, and arrived at the White House today. Just like Bo, she's a Portuguese Water Dog, which works great for the Obamas because of allergies in their family.
Sunny is the perfect little sister for Bo – full of energy and very affectionate – and the First Family picked her name because it fit her cheerful personality.

Massachusetts governor names ex-staffer as senator
BOSTON Although his time in the U.S. Senate will be brief – less than five full months – William "Mo" Cowan could find himself in the thick of major policy debates from the federal budget to immigration reform and gun control.
Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick on Wednesday appointed Cowan, his former chief of staff, to serve as the interim U.S. senator for Massachusetts until a special election is held June 25 to fill the seat left vacant by John Kerry's confirmation as the nation's next secretary of state.
Cowan, 43, will be the state's second African American senator. Edward Brooke, a Republican, served two terms from 1967 to 1979.
With automatic spending cuts expected to take effect in March, Cowan said he backed a balanced approach to the nation's fiscal woes that include some spending cuts and new revenues.
"I don't think anyone believes it's in the best interests to do straight across-the-board cuts," he said.
Cowan, 43, stepped down last month as chief of staff, a post he assumed in 2010 after serving as Patrick's chief legal counsel.

In a move to end industry bickering and avoid government-mandated DTV tuner standards, the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) said it is in the process of developing a "Recommended Practice" that will establish voluntary guidelines for broadcast digital television (DTV) receiver performance.
"Our decision to develop a Recommended Practice reflects our goal of providing the consumer electronics industry with important information while providing manufacturers with the necessary flexibility for product innovation," said Mark Richer, president of ATSC. "We also want to be responsive to a recent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Notice of Inquiry (in ET Docket 03-65) which suggests that the industry develop voluntary DTV receiver performance guidelines."
Development of the new guidelines, the organization said, is underway in the ATSC Specialist Group on Receivers. A draft of the guidelines is expected early next year. The study is expected to address critical DTV transmission issues such as adjacent channel interference and multipath.
"Recommended Practices," noted the ATSC, are a widely accepted tool in the television industry that augment technical standards, and typically provide support and tutelage in the development of activities, operations, and equipment.
Previously, terrestrial broadcasters, through the NAB, asked the FCC to review DTV receiver performance in order to help avoid reception problems and consumer dissatisfaction. TV set manufacturers has blamed the broadcasters for poor reception by transmitting low power signals. The FCC earlier launched an inquiry, with comments due July 21 and replies on Aug. 18.
The ATSC represents the broadcast, broadcast equipment, motion picture, consumer electronics, computer, cable, satellite, and semiconductor industries.

Colorado spine surgeon, Dr. Donald Corenman, M.D., D.C. (http://neckandback.com 970-479-5895), is a spine expert who specializes in degenerative conditions and disorders of the neck, back and spine. He is in private practice at the Steadman Clinic, Spine Institute, in Vail, CO.
This presentation focuses on spine injuries in baseball players—specifically cervical spine injuries. While it is true the sport of baseball results in few traumatic cervical spine injuries, certain spinal disorders and spine injuries in baseball players do result. Most of these injuries involve wear and tear, herniations, annular tears and facet disease—all of which can be related to degenerative disorders. This presentation details the treatment options for such degenerative conditions and the options baseball athletes have in order to treat the chronic back pain that accompanies cervical spine injuries.
Dr. Corenman is a Colorado spine expert and talented lecturer and researcher. He has written countless medical articles on cervical spine injuries, spine conditions and the surgical options that are available today. He recently launched his own website (http://neckandback.com) to educate patients on spine disorders and to offer second opinions to physicians and colleagues who are seeking additional information on specific spine injuries and treatment options.

Trophic relationships of common frog (Rana temporaria) and pigmy shrew (Sorex minutus) in upland Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland
The common frog and the pigmy shrew are common vertebrate predators in the uplands of Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland. This report concerns their habitat preference and trophic biology which are poorly documented at higher altitudes. Frogs preferred damp, grassy, reclaimed habitats while pigmy shrews appeared to favour moorland dominated by Calluna vulgaris. Both frogs and shrews were absent from pitfall trap collections from December to February and numbers of both were low until late spring. This corresponded to the period of lowest invertebrate abundance. Examination of stomach contents suggests that frogs are less selective feeders and utilize a greater diversity of prey items than pigmy shrews. Although sample size is low early in the year, diversity of the diet of pigmy shrews apparently increased from the first to the second quarter and again in the third quarter of the year. This led to an increase in food niche overlap with frogs in late summer but at a time of year when food supply was greatest. It is unlikely, therefore, that dietary overlap constitutes a basis for interspecific competition between frogs and shrews. This is likely to be ameliorated by habitat and behavioural differences between the two predators.

Comments: Toure's agent Dimitri Seluk has been in the public eye over the last week
Seluk earlier revealed Brazil legend Roberto Carlos was given a super car by Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala to mark his birthday.
The agent appeared on Sky Sports News on Tuesday afternoon, saying: 'This happened on May 13. Today is May 20.
'Until now nobody from staff called Yaya and said sorry. It was really was not right. It is not a little bit correct.
'If they don't want Yaya, no problem. We can leave any moment, without any problem.'
Toure had attempted to diffuse the row as he tweeted: 'Thanks for all the birthday messages today. Card from City just arrived... Must have got lost in the post. Haha.
'Jokes aside. Please do not take words that do not come out of MY mouth seriously. Judge my commitment to @MCFC by my performances.'
But his later support of Seluk will have City fans concerned about their star man's future.
Despite a video emerging showing the City players on a plane presenting a cake to Toure - whom the club regard as 'unsellable' - and singing 'Happy Birthday', Seluk told the BBC: 'None of them shook his hand on his birthday. It's really sick, you know.
'He got a cake but when it was Roberto Carlos's birthday, the president of Anzhi gave him a Bugatti.
'I don't expect City to present Yaya with a Bugatti, we only asked that they shook his hand and said, "We congratulate you". It is the minimum they must do when it is his birthday and the squad is all together.

Having their cake and eating it: Sheikh Mansour celebrates City's title win
'It is an important human relationship to shake hands and say, "Happy Birthday" but nobody did it to Yaya. It shows they don't care about him.
'I hear one newspaper has written that City congratulated him from Twitter but this is a joke. It is better they don't put anything on Twitter if they are not saying anything to him.
'The club's owners ate a 100kg cake after winning the Premier League this season but when they and the players were all together, none of them shook his hand on his birthday.
'If they don't respect him, then easy - Yaya will leave. No problem.'

Celebration time: Nasri and other members of the squad and staff sing Happy Birthday to Yaya Toure
Upset: Yaya Toure says that no one wished him happy returns at a title celebration party
Speaking in The Sun, Seluk said: 'There is a big possibility Yaya will leave this summer. He is very upset. What happened at his birthday means the club don't care about him. It was proof.
'They can say whatever they want, "Oh we like him but we forgot". Forgot? About Yaya? The player who helped you to be two-time Premier League champions? The guy who helped you win the FA Cup and League Cup?
'In a normal team, his team-mates and club would at least give him good wishes. But when you win the title and two days later you have a big party to celebrate the title and nobody comes to Yaya to say happy birthday, what more do you want?
'If a player like Yaya went to Liverpool and they won the league for the first time in 24 years, Yaya would be a god in Liverpool.
'But at City, Yaya is no hero. He's nobody. That's how the club make him feel. He's very upset and he started thinking about leaving the club. And he will leave if things carry on like this.
'We're not doing this for more money. We probably can go for less money to another club. If they think they can buy everything, they are wrong. I think these people don't care. Only stupid people would want Yaya to leave.'
High earner: Yaya Toure is one year into a four-year deal worth £220,000 a week
Happy birthday to you! City posted this on their Twitter on May 13
How sweet: Yeovil Town sent Toure this happy birthday message on Twitter

Sadly, it's the plot that lets the whole book down; it reads like a crime novel written by someone who hasn't read much crime. It lacks the pace of a Val McDermid or a PD James novel and so my main reason for finishing the book was because I was enjoying the character development.
I'd read another one, but hopefully it will be about a hundred pages shorter and have a bit more pace behind it.
`Write what you know' is the age old adage and, where Rowling dipped into her experience of fame for The Cuckoo's Calling, The Silkworm deals with a publishing world going through an identity crisis. Traditional publishing, self-publishing and the internet's influence are all fleetingly examined, and you can't help but wonder how many of Cormoran's suspects include portions of the real-life people Rowling encountered during her remarkable rise to superstardom. But then, given the repercussions of Quine's own manuscript, Bombyx Mori (Latin for silkworm), borrowed traits might well have been too ironic an inclusion for even the most cavalier of writers - an enjoyable conundrum to deliberate whilst reading.
A literary yet accessible crime thriller, The Silkworm is, like its predecessor, an excellent read. The mystery is moreish, the characters well-crafted, and the side plots - particularly the continuing animosity between Strike and his assistant's fiancé - are genuinely enjoyable.Read more ›
The central plot twists and drags the reader through the streets of snowbound London, but I will not give away the main tenet as I feel spoilers are a curse. Suffice to say I hope Ms Rowlings (aka Robert Galbraith) in her literary circle does not come into contact with the seamier side of the publishing world.
A word of warning to those of a sensitive disposition; the language is often ripe, as befits the characters, and description of the body, luridly graphic.
I don't profess to have the literary knowledge to understand the relevance or meanings behind the quotes at the beginning of each chapter but they had no bearing on my enjoyment of the book. I dare say they held important clues. But I was clueless.
The principal characters have developed since the first book. Understandably. They are more rounded; human even. Robin is the perfect foil for the limped gait crusader. She has become as important as the main protagonist. Hard to imagine one without the other now.
The plot here isn't complex but the main event - the murder - is certainly not run of the mill. The author uses all her experience of literary circles - agents, writers, publishers - to weave her tale and few come up smelling of roses. I dare say some may recognise themselves in the book. The irony in that is crystal clear and you can see that parallel as the story develops.
Fast paced and full of oddball characters, all of whom are suspects till the finale, this is a glorious trip round a strangely wintry London as Strike attempts to track down a murderer whose motive in the end is not as it appears throughout.
A first class detective story once again reminiscent of Chandler and Hammett at their best. Wit and grime come thick and fast in equal measure. Roll on the third Vet-man and Robin adventure. By far and away my favourite writer at the moment. Just terrific.

The 500D is the only camera to offer any obvious resolution advantage over the E-620 - its output is detailed, sharp and clean in a way that the E-620 just can't match. It's worth bearing in mind, though, that working with 100% crops we're having to look very closely in order to spot these differences.

Everyone is saying it's a "mature" fragrance. I guess, they're saying that, because most fragrances, that are considered "young" are light & fruity. Which this is not, but I think it's just sexy & exotic. Anything with amber or patchouli, (this has both) reminds me of the seventies. It's chic hippie to me.

In the telecommunications industry, mobile telephone usage has increased dramatically through the construction and operation of mobile networks by mobile network operators (MNOs). Recently, mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) have emerged as providers of cell phone services. The MVNOs typically do not own or operate the core communications network infrastructure, but instead contract with an MNO for the communications support while focusing on marketing to subscribers. MVNOs often have pre-established relationships with a certain customer base and are thus able to attract a new subscriber base for mobile communications services at a relatively low cost and risk, thereby providing an attractive partnership opportunity for MNOs to enhance resource utilization without high marketing costs normally associated with developing new subscribers. At the same time, such cooperative arrangements with MNOs provide the MVNO with a chance to enter the mobile market without significant initial investment and also to enhance their own branded services. In this manner, MVNOs and their agreements with MNOs are expected to create significant subscriber growth for the mobile communications industry as a whole. Discounted or free mobile to mobile calling is a feature offered by many MNOs for their subscribers, which provides an important incentive for attracting mobile subscribers. Thusfar, however, MVNO subscribers cannot obtain this service, as the MNO infrastructure does not allow for such selective discounting. Thus, there remains a need for improved communications systems and call rating techniques by which MVNO subscribers can be offered free or discounted mobile to mobile calling.
The following is a summary of one or more aspects of the invention provided in order to facilitate a basic understanding thereof, wherein this summary is not an extensive overview of the invention, and is intended neither to identify certain elements of the invention, nor to delineate the scope of the invention. The primary purpose of the summary is, rather, to present some concepts of the invention in a simplified form prior to the more detailed description that is presented hereinafter. Various aspects of the present disclosure involve mobile to mobile call rating in which the identity of the subscribed MNO or MVNO is ascertained for both mobile calling and called parties by accessing a centralized or distributed mobile to mobile (M2M) data store or database populated with data for subscribers of multiple network operators. Based on the subscribed network operator(s), a rating key value is obtained, such as from a table accessible by a rating component of a prepaid service element or postpaid billing system, where the key value indicates an agreed discount amount (e.g., 0% to 100% inclusive) to be applied for the corresponding pair of called party network operator and calling party network operator. In this manner, MVNOs can offer free or discounted mobile to mobile calling for inter-MVNO calls (e.g. calls between two subscribers of the same MVNO), intra-MVNO calls (e.g., calls from a mobile subscriber of a first MVNO to a subscriber of a second MVNO), and MNO subscribers can enjoy discounts for mobile to mobile calls to or from subscribers of different MNOs and/or MVNOs.
In accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure, a communications system is provided, having a network associated with a MNO that supports calls between mobile devices associated with subscribers of the MNO and mobiles of MVNO subscribers and/or of a different MNO. The system includes a mobile to mobile (M2M) data store that has entries for mobile subscribers of the MNO as well as entries for mobile subscribers of other network operator, whether an MVNO or an MNO. In one embodiment, the individual M2M data store entries include a network operator prefix indicating the network operator to which the corresponding mobile is subscribed, such that querying the data store for a given subscriber (e.g., by calling and called party numbers) yields a prefix for each party. The system also includes a first network element that obtains a call rating key based on the M2M data store entries for the calling and called party subscribers. In one possible implementation, a rating key table is provided which includes entries with rating key values for possible pairs of network operator prefixes, where the table may be included in the M2M data store, in a network call control function component, or elsewhere in the communications system. The rating key reflects an agreed rating for a call between the network operator(s) subscribed to by the calling and called parties, and is used for prepaid call service or postpaid billing systems to rate the call. The system may facilitate the provision of any number of discounts for mobile to mobile calling through MNO and MVNO network operator agreements such that a MNO will provision its M2M database or data store with entries of it's own subscribers and subscribers of one or more other operators (MNO and/or MVNO), where call rating components (whether for prepaid or post paid M2M calls) can obtain the operator prefix(s) associated with the parties to a given call and check a rating key table to determine the discount agreed upon by the network operator(s). Different key values can be negotiated for a given pair of prefixes, moreover, to set different discounts according to the roaming status of the calling and/or called party, as well as for the calling party home zone status.
Further aspects of the disclosure are associated with a call rating system for rating a mobile to mobile call. The rating system includes a first network element that obtains a call rating key that indicates an agreed rating for calls between parties that are each subscribed to a first or second network operator, as well as a rating component that rates a call between the calling and called party subscribers at least partially according to the call rating key. The operators may be two MNOs or at least one of the operators can be a MVNO. In one example, the first network element includes an M2M data store with an entry for a first mobile subscriber of the first mobile network operator with a network operator prefix indicative of the first mobile network operator and an entry for a second mobile subscriber of the second mobile network operator with a network operator prefix indicative of the second mobile network operator, as well as a rating key table including entries with a rating key value for possible pairs of network operator prefixes. In certain implementations, moreover, the call rating key is obtained at least partially according to a roaming status of one or both subscribers, and/or according to one subscriber's home zone status.
In accordance with other aspects of the present disclosure, a method is provided for rating a mobile to mobile call. The method includes obtaining a call rating key indicative of an agreed rating for M2M calls between a calling party subscriber of either a first or a second mobile network operator, and a called party subscriber of the first or second operators. The method further provides for rating a call between the calling and called party subscribers at least partially according to the call rating key. In one implementation, the method further includes determining a roaming status and/or a home zone status of at least one of the calling and called party subscribers, and rating the call accordingly. The method may also include querying an M2M data store to obtain network operator prefix values corresponding to the mobile network operators of the calling and called party subscribers, and obtaining a rating key corresponding to the network operator prefix values.
The following description and drawings set forth in detail certain illustrative implementations of the invention, which are indicative of several exemplary ways in which the principles of the invention may be carried out. Various objects, advantages, and novel features of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the drawings. The present invention may be embodied in the construction, configuration, arrangement, and combination of the various system components and acts or events of the methods, whereby the objects contemplated are attained as hereinafter more fully set forth, specifically pointed out in the claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:
Referring now to the figures, wherein the showings are for purposes of illustrating the exemplary embodiments only and not for purposes of limiting the claimed subject matter,
The communication system 2 may include various operationally interconnected networks of various topologies, including wireless network components along with PSTN and packet switched (IP) networks (not shown) through which calls may be placed between mobile units 50-56 and other devices that are currently served by the MNO1 network 10 or by other networks (not shown). For mobile to mobile calls, the network 10 supports calls to, from, and/or between the exemplary mobiles 50-56 shown in
In general, the various components of the system 2 and the network 10 communicate with one another using one or more protocols as are known for providing mobile communications for exchanging voice, data, video or any other information exchanged between various communications devices such as the illustrated mobiles 50-56, which may include wireless terminals to access network services over a radio interface and may be portable units, phones or computers installed in a vehicle, etc. The network 10 of the first MNO is operative to support calls to, from, and/or between mobile devices 50 and 51 associated with subscribers of the mobile network operator MNO1, as well as mobiles 52, 53, 55, and 56 associated with subscribers of one or more MVNOs and a mobile 54 subscribed to another MNO2. In this regard, the network 10 can support mobile to mobile calling or any number of mobile devices that are subscribed to any number of MNOs and MVNOs, wherein only several devices 50-56 are illustrated in
For mobile to mobile calls involving mobile devices 50-56 that are processed by the network 10 of operator MNO1, the system 10 in one embodiment includes a mobile to mobile (M2M) database 100 with mobile subscriber data 110, and one or more rating key tables 120 incorporated in the M2M database 100 or in the network call control function element 40, in one or more of the MSCs 30, or which may be implemented elsewhere in operative association with the network 10. The M2M database 100 and the rating key table are operable in conjunction with rating engines or components 22, 92 of the prepaid service 20 and the postpaid billing system 90 to provide one exemplary embodiment of a call rating system for rating mobile to mobile calls in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure. The M2M database 100 can be implemented as any suitable form of data store that can be searched or queried, and which can be implemented as a unitary data store or a distributed or replicated data store that is operatively associated with the network 10 and accessible by elements thereof. Similarly, the rating key table 120 can be implemented as any searchable database or data store accessible by network components, and which may be unitary or distributed, for instance, where the rating key table entries and key values thereof may be replicated among two or more network elements for access in association with call rating operations with respect to mobile to mobile calls. In the exemplary embodiments, moreover, the M2M database subscriber entries 110 and the entries of the rating key table 120 are provisioned and maintained by the first mobile network operator MNO1.
As best shown in
In the illustrated embodiment, the individual M2M data store entries 110 include the operator prefix 114 indicating the network operator to which a corresponding listed mobile is subscribed, such that querying the data store 100 for a given subscriber of one of the lists 112 (e.g., by calling and called party numbers in servicing a prepaid call or in rating a postpaid call) yields the associated prefix 114. Similar searches are preferably performed for each party to a given mobile to mobile call, whereby the call control function 40, or the MSCs 30, or the prepaid service function component 20 and the rating engine 22 thereof can determine an M2M status for parties to a prepaid call to initially ascertain whether the call is an M2M call, and if so, to ascertain the identity of the operator to which each party is subscribed in real time. This M2M status indication is also used by the billing service 90 and the rating engine 92 thereof in rating a postpaid call based on information (e.g. calling and called party phone numbers) derived from a call CDR 94. In one example for a mobile to mobile call between two subscribers 50 and 51 of MNO1 (
Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 3A-3D, the call rating system also includes one or more entities, such as the rating engines 22, 92, or the MSCs 30 or other network element that obtains a call rating key 124 based on the M2M data store entries 110 for the calling and called party subscribers, where the key 124 can be any number, code, or other data that represents a discount agreed upon by the relevant network operator or operators for a mobile to mobile call between the corresponding subscribers. In the illustrated embodiment, a rating key table 120 is provided in one or both of the M2M database 100 or the call control function 40 or elsewhere in operative association with the network 10 (e.g., in one or more of the MSCs 30, etc.). In certain implementations, if an MSC 30 obtains the rating key 124 based on the calling and called party prefix(es) 114 for postpaid calls, the MSC 30 can include the key value 124 in the CDR 94 for the billing system 90 to rate the call directly, and if the MSCs 30 are themselves provisioned with the data 110, 120 of an M2M data store 100, the MSC can determine the M2M status of a call and obtain the rating key 124 directly without consulting or querying a separate M2M database 100. Moreover, where the M2M database 100 includes both the provisioned subscriber entries 110 and the rating key table 120, the data store 100 can return a rating key value 124 directly in response to a single query specifying the called and calling party numbers for a mobile to mobile call.
As best shown in
The key 124 is utilized in the exemplary embodiments for prepaid call service 20 or postpaid billing systems 90 to rate the call in association with other rating values or parameters, such as by simply multiplying the rating key value 124 by a calculated tariff amount otherwise normally applied to a call. In this manner, the call rating system of the present disclosure facilitates provisioning of any number of discounts for mobile to mobile calling through MNO and MVNO network operator agreements such that an MNO will provision its M2M database or data store with entries of it's own subscribers and subscribers of one or more other operators (MNO and/or MVNO), where call rating components (such as the rating engines 22, 92, etc., whether for prepaid or post paid M2M calls) and/or other call service components (e.g., the MSCs 30, the call control function 40, the prepaid service 20, etc.) can obtain the operator prefix(s) associated with the parties to a given call and check a rating key table 120 to determine the discount agreed upon or determined by the corresponding network operator(s).
Different key values can be negotiated for a given pair of prefixes, moreover, to set different discounts according to the roaming status of the calling and/or called party, as well as according to the calling party home zone status. In this respect, the exemplary table 120 of
The rating key provision, moreover, may take into account any number of other such calling conditions, where the present disclosure is not limited to the examples shown in the figures, and a rating key table 120 may include any number of such columns and rows to accommodate any agreed upon rating or discount system envisioned by one or more network operators to provide any granularity of discount options related to mobile to mobile call situations. In this manner, the present disclosure accommodates provision of selectively discounted mobile to mobile calling for intra-MNO, intra-MVNO, and inter-MVNO calls, as well as for calls between MNO and MVNO subscribers, and may contemplate selective discounts for calls involving more than two mobiles.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals tight end Rob Housler finally finds the end zone in win
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Thirty-three games. Seventy-one receptions. Zero touchdowns.
Arizona Cardinals tight end Rob Housler, for all his talent, had never found the end zone as an NFL player. That all changed Sunday when he took a screen pass 12 yards for a touchdown in Arizona's 27-24 win over the Houston Texans.
Perhaps appropriately, his first touchdown celebration involved removing an imaginary monkey from his back.
"You try not to think about it, but it does weigh on you a little bit," he said of that monkey, with a chuckle. "But it's just something you take in stride because whatever you do to distract yourself, you're not focused on your job, so I tried to eliminate that."
Housler added that he did not exactly plan the celebration ahead of time, though he had thought about what he would do when given the chance. His concern, really, was about not doing anything that would lead to a penalty by asking teammates to help.
"So I was like I'm just going to take this monkey off myself."
"It was huge, it was huge," Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said of the touchdown. "He got off the schneid."
To be fair, Housler's touchdown drought was not entirely his fault, because if not for some shaky quarterback play during his first couple seasons, the former Florida Atlantic product would have certainly scored a touchdown before Sunday.
Yet, for all his struggles to finally notch that first touchdown, Housler said any pressure that was placed on him was of the external variety. Touchdowns or not, he said all he was focused on was going out and executing his role in the offense.
Sunday, that role led a career first.
"That time, I knew we had a good shot of getting in the end zone on that play, and as a red zone offense you want to score touchdowns and not kick field goals," he said.
Housler said the ball will probably be given to a family member because he doesn't "sit there and put them on mantles or anything."
The tight end finished the day with four catches on five targets for 57 yards and the touchdown, and now has 16 receptions over the team's last four games.
"All season long we've been trying to get him involved, been wanting to get him involved," quarterback Carson Palmer said. "He made some great plays, made some great catches. Cut back against the grain a couple times, got some extra yardage, stayed in bounds.
"Made headsy football plays."
