Shwayze (Aaron Smith) - Love Letter
Artist: Shwayze (Aaron Smith)
Producer: The Cataracs
Album: Love Letter EP
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 14 votes )
Originally featured way back in August of 2010, Shwayze's epistolary banger, Love Letter, returns in a newly-revamped version as the title track and lead single off his forthcoming EP. While the rapper born Aaron Smith hasn't addressed my main beef with the record—what kind of letter refers to its own addressee in the third person?!—The Cataracs' instrumental remains as catchy as ever, and the addition of singer Dev only adds to the breezy pop appeal. For more, check out Shwayze's Love Letter EP when it hits stores and online retailers July 2011.

My HOUSE used to be a PUB: How to save the UK high street
With you until the last paragraph
That unused retail property could usefully be turned into residential seems obvious and as others have noted already occurs to an extent. The 'logical' view you then state that the reverse should also be true is not so palatable. Just because it makes market sense to start trading from the house next door to mine doesn't mean it will be socially acceptable to do so. Whether it's noise, congestion, parking, delivery vehicles etc. there is a reason that residential areas are designated as such.
If only 0.006% care about BLOOD-SOAKED METAL ... why are we spending all this cash?
Flawed logic
Assessing people's real motivations on how they actually behave instead of how they say they will behave overlooks the extent to which their behaviour is limited by the available options.
If all sugar was produced by slaves, assuming that as everyone bought only slave produced sugar this meant they were fine with that would obviously be wrong.
Nothing would change or improve if the profit making machine wasn't motivated to do so. Sometimes winning market share is enough if more enlightened consumers outnumber those who don't care.
In the many situations where that's not the case legislation is required.
In this particular case was it necessary/efficient, possibly not (on the evidence you present) but it doesn't negate the fact that usually someone has to take a prinicipled stand to change the direction of the money flow in a less exploitative direction.
The mere fact that Fairphone tried and therefore highlighted the issue may in itself force others to change their prcatice and make the consumer more discerning.
POISON PI sniffs WiFi from your mail room, goes on rampage
Would creating a faraday cage around your mail holding room and inspecting all parcels in quaratine prior to distribution not prevent this from working?
THE DEATH OF ECONOMICS: Aircraft design vs flat-lining financial models
Alternate economic strategies have been thoroughly researched and proposed
One example is the Zero Caron Britain report produced by the Centre for Alternative Energy several years ago. Still very viable, but of course entrenched self-interest from those benefitting from the status quo make it difficult to gain traction.
And yes, they do reject nuclear as it is a massive drain on society for decades (tens of decades?) and never delivers the bountiful cheap energy it has always promised is just a few years away.
Back in the 1950s when we needed happy shoppers to drive the economy and deliver us all from grinding poverty and the mess left after the 2nd World War the Marshall plan was a good idea.
Particularly as modern agricultural practices and complete ignorance of the danger of carbon emissions meant there seemed to be no downside.
Now we know better. GDP has long been maligned as a v misleading tool for measuring 'progress' a good war does wonders for the GDP. Bobby Kennedy bemoaned its limitations as far back as 1968:
"And this is one of the great tasks of leadership for us, as individuals and citizens this year. But even if we act to erase material poverty, there is another greater task, it is to confront the poverty of satisfaction - purpose and dignity - that afflicts us all. Too much and for too long, we seemed to have surrendered personal excellence and community values in the mere accumulation of material things. Our Gross National Product, now, is over $800 billion dollars a year, but that Gross National Product - if we judge the United States of America by that - that Gross National Product counts air pollution and cigarette advertising, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage. It counts special locks for our doors and the jails for the people who break them. It counts the destruction of the redwood and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl. It counts napalm and counts nuclear warheads and armored cars for the police to fight the riots in our cities. It counts Whitman's rifle and Speck's knife, and the television programs which glorify violence in order to sell toys to our children. Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country, it measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile. And it can tell us everything about America except why we are proud that we are Americans."
So yes, the need for a new system is LONG overdue. Crashes and a general deterioration in living standards for us in the developed world are the new normal. Periods of 'growth' as it used to be understood will become fewer and further between and are not the system returning to normal, but unsustainable attempts by those in power to make us believe that is so.

Kate Bush: Don't make me HAVE CONTACT with your iPHONE
Given her breakthrough hit, 'Wuthering Heights' was released in 1978 I think she's much more an eighties artist than a seventies one.

We need to talk about SPEAKERS: Sorry, 'audiophiles', only IT will break the sound barrier
I was thinking of a digital speaker solution only yesterday so this is timely.
Given that the time information is at issue here I was wondering whether dedicated speakers for each instrument might not be more practical. These could be either designed only to reproduce certain instruments (separate designs for violin, cello, guitar etc.) or be modified in their output through software depending on the use case.
Each speaker, (say typically four for a pop band or chamber orchestra) would recieve a digital stream time synced to each of the other streams. As the speakers themselves could be placed as desired the effect for the listener would be much more directional without the need for stereo capture/reproduction.
IE each instrument is recorded as a mono source, but the physical spacing of the individual speakers provides the reproduction of the sound space.
It might be more practical to arrange a number of panel speakers across a wall and assign them as required to allow maximum configurability with minimal physical intrusion.

NOT APPY: Black cab drivers enraged by Hailo as taxi tech wars rage on

I'm pretty sure calling all black cab drivers bigots is a fairly bigotted position to take.
But yes, they are dinosaurs. Maybe they should have joined forces with the:

True optical zoom coming to HTC smartphone cameras
How can this item not make reference to the already available Samsung S4 Zoom (which I own)?
This is essentially a compact camera/smartphone combo which already delivers significanlty superior camera performance in a phone format.
I have no problems using this as my only phone and I'm extremely happy with the photos produced by it as well as all other aspects of the smartphone use.
Returning a laptop to PC World ruined this bloke's credit score. Today the Supreme Court ended his 15-year nightmare
This could so easily have been me. I bought from a retailer (Red Submarine IRC) in a music mag a high spec machine for around £2000 on a credit agreement. The company promptly went bust prior to delivery.
Weeks later I received phone calls from a debt collection agency telling me I was liable for the cost of the machine or I had to prove non-delivery!
I told them where to go and thankfully that was the last of it, but initially at least the credit company regarded me as having defaulted on the agreement.
I've never regarded PC World very highly, but I certainly won't be visiting them again after this nightmare story, jeez, way to honour consumer rights.
Oxfam, you're full of FAIL. Leave economics to sensible bods
Deiberately missing the point???
Your argument is all very well. The proles will have the opportunity to get a council house, get into student debt and possibly, if they're very lucky earn £100,000 or own a business, so far so good.
What they will never do is unseat the landed gentry and prise the majority of those assets out of the hands of the descendants of someone awarded in the dark annals of history for some forgotten act of loyalty.
A neat demonstration of how limited are the 'normal' persons rights is in the new fracking debate.
If you happen to own property the fracking may take place beneath, guess what, it belongs to those families that everything has always belonged to.
No possibility of any redestribution there is there? Hence the political sop of throwing a few coins out of the carriage window to the street urchins whose communities will be blighted.
In the US by contrast you'd be paid a handsome royalty as you own the land and its mineral rights.
(See also wind farm incomes on crown estate, also going to royals etc.)
IBM nearly HALVES its effective tax rate in 2013 - report
It is the duty of a profit making enterprise to minimise tax and maximise profit, any anger directed at the companies involved is misdirected.
It is the duty of Government to structure tax laws such that economic activity benefits the societies in which the companies involved operate.
This is where the ball has been dropped. It is well overdue for a complete overhaul and re-evaluation of the tax rules in Europe which mean companies can turn billions of dollars of profit (in real terms) whilst paying a tiny percentage in tax.
The current situation definitely benefits the elite 1% while penalising and exploiting the 99%.
Apple and Samsung STILL in bitchfight over banning ancient mobes
Detracting from the main issue of ruining a perfectly good language: Colorably???
I think you meant ostensibly. Why can the Americans not just learn to use the existing words instead of making up new ones? If it was something not already covered by an existing word fair enough, but it doesn't even sound like sophisticated legalise.
Let's hope when an artist infringes copyright on a piece of music the Americans don't feel the need to call it soundably the same, (and they'd probably leave the 'u' out of that as well).
Achtung NIMBYs! BT splurges extra £50m on fibre broadband rollout
new cabinets double as advertising hoardings
To further rub salt into the wounds of those people whose communities are blighted by the arrival of these unsightly cabinets, BT has begun plastering them with advertising to trumpet the arrival of the fibre service.
This must surely be against local planning rules. No-one else is allowed to just plaster the built environment with adverts in this way.
check out this horrific example:
A steam punk VDU ?
There are several existing solutions to this.
1. Etch a sketch, pointer is moved on surface on which a powder adheres until displaced.
surface is returned to usable form by shaking in original toy, but could be blown perhaps?
2. Magnetic writing board. Probably easier to use this, see examples here:
3. Or the simplest working principle, where a piece of grey translucent plastic sheet is impressed upon with a backing of a wax coated sheet. Where contact is made a dark colour is seen, Lifting the sheet 'erases' it. Also known as a magic slate.
They could all be modified in some way to provide the desired functionality, (perhaps not trivial to do so however!)

Printing the Future: See a few of UK's 6.2 million 3D-printed 'things'
Re: Lost wax?
Indeed it can be and is already by artists exploring its possibilities in this area.
I think UWE do this.
Surely for the people with the most positive outlook on the future and rate of rise of 3D printing the 'hobbyists toy' uppermost in their mind is that of computing, which was initially similarly the reserve of hobbyists.
The computer is now of course ubiquitous, but then it can be turned to such a wide variety of applications.
3D printing can't and while it will have a myriad of as yet unthought of applications, in it's most advanced form it is essentially a quick route to a prototype either allowing bespoke unique designs for one off or a few items or as a precursor to producing the item through other more efficient means.
Brit inventor Dyson challenges EU ruling on his hoover's energy efficiency ratings
I bet Dyson would be less than pleased to see vacuum cleaners referred to by his competitors trade name.
I thought we'd stopped doing that last century.
As it is a US brand, do you think you could try to support the home grown industry a bit more?
I'm off to do the Dysonning now...
Oh, shoppin' HELL: I'm in the supermarket of the DAMNED
I can only assume that these machines were designed with input from the till workers union. They certainly seem designed to demonstrate how bad an idea it is for us to check out our own shopping rather than have a human do it for us.
I won't use them and watch with gleeful anticipation when people behind me in the queue ask me if I will and then pass me to attempt to use them.
They're usually experiencing exactly as Alaistair describes long after i've left after being served by a human.
Chromecast creeps further into living room with Hulu hookup
I have the Chromecast and it just works, in a way that so much other stuff just doesn't. I realise readers of El Reg are so tech savvy that wrestling arcane scripts to make tech do what it's supposed to is part of the enjoyment for them, but for the masses this device offers additional functionality at a trivial cost and with ease.
I think Google have stolen a march on their competitors once again, and each additional service offering will merely further bolster this position.

Maybe this has been asked before, but would it be possible to have an indication of height in the video capture? The simplest way would be to put a basic altimeter display in front of the camera.
'Gastric band' pressure switch
Another way to connect balloon burst to electrical switching would be to put a band around the lower part of the balloon containing a pressure switch; closed due to the pressure of the balloon acting on it.
At balloon burst the switch would open, providing the required signal to the electronics to fire.

Smartwatch makers: You need apps to beat Apple
I'd agree with all others regarding notification functionality, it makes missing texts/calls (something that used to happen frequently) a thing of the past.
In the car it's much safer to glance at your wrist than mess around with your phone.
With Glance I can even respond with preset messages from the watch with a few easily memorised button presses.

TV gesture patent bombshell: El Reg punts tech into public domain
Signal to computer that you're gesturing at it
I think the obvious answer to how will the computer know your waving is intended for it would be to define a clear signal, 'message send'.
Something so unlikely to be within your normal gesture vocabulary that it couldn't be mistaken.
Given the on/off symbol is a circle and a line this seems an obvious choice.
Give the 'OK' diving sign with one hand and hold one finger up on the other, combining both to make a capital phi figure.
Once acknowledged by a lamp switching on, (send message), the next 10 seconds whatever sign you make will be interpreted as an instruction.
The UK's copyright landgrab: The FAQ
Case in point. Warner sued over use of Nyan Cat
Why should the originators of what has become a valuable franchisable icon not be protected from being ripped off?
Master Beats: Why doesn't audio quality matter these days?
I wholeheartedly agree. I can't help feeling that the younger generation have been sold a pup on this one.
We are of the age that regarded the pursuit of better and better sound quality a worthwhile thing to do, hence the apogee of CD sample rates.
Once convenience trumped this goal all was lost. 'Look i've got 200 albums on this iPod', 'sure, but the quality is pish'
Can it be coincidence that music today really is shite when what people listen to it on is incapable of revealing that fact? Or indeed that 'lo-fi' became a thing around the same time?

Android users: More of them than fanbois, but they don't use the web
1. One of the aspects of iDevices that the fans point to the most is the usability. IE the target market is for the less tech savvy consumer.
2. Less tech savvy people may not regularly use/have access to a PC. I have friends in this category who hadn't sent an email prior to owning an iPhone
3. Given that for such users the iDevice is the only platform available to shop from it's hardly surprising the data reflect this.
4. I use an Android phone, and do use it for browsing, usually via wifi, when i can't be arsed to fire up my PC. However, with a PC in front of me during working hours it is this that I use for the majority of my transactions.
Just bought an Apple product? Need support NOW? Drop an F-BOMB
Worth making sure it's an automated system you're talking to and not just an answering machine.
My local doctors had inadvertently left the answering machine on during office hours meaning that when I called to make an appointment I got a message saying if it's an emergency call this number, otherwise hang up.
I got pretty frustrated and vented, not realising that my invective was played loud and clear to the full waiting room and receptionist. (who was busily trying to switch the thing off).
I received a call from them pretty soon after i'd left my message from an apologetic, but obviously unimpressed receptionist and my welcome was decidedly cool when I went to my appointment!
Felix Baumgartner sadly turns out to be blinkered FOOL
I previously didn't expect to hear anything of much sense from Felix, but now I realise he is in fact a wise and insightful man.
As he has literally benefited from a perspective few other people have I think it is right that he expresses the view that this planet we are currently hell bent on destroying is our only home and will remain so for a very long time.
Hear hear Felix!

You could ask why he thought it might have ended up in the skip.

Beginner, Cutting, Fabric, How-To-Projects, Quilting, Smitha Katti, Thread,
Whether it is your go-to bag for shopping or a gift for someone, this simple and chic crossbody purse is a great bag for everyday of the year.
We are into month six of this year's sewing resolution! If you haven't read about my resolution for this year, that is 2012, I plan to stitch one new quilt block every month. The concept is that by making one quilt block every month, I will have a total of 12 blocks by the end of the year, ready to be sewn together into a new quilt.
Now moving forward, I have this month's quilt block ready to share with you! This month's block is a unique one for me- and yet it was pretty easy to put together.
To make one 8 inch (plus seam allowances) block, you will need six 5 inch (+seam allowances) squares. I chose a couple of different colors here. I wanted my block to be a true mix of colors- and hence chose 6 different fabrics. You will also need two strips of 1 inch (+seam allowances) which measure about 9 inches long. This will form our borders.
Stack all the 5 inch blocks together. Using the 30, 45 and 60 degree lines as a guide, make three angular cuts into all the fabrics at once.
Mix and match the fabrics in each pile to form four different combinations.
Pin the pieces together along the cut lines and sew together. You will end up with this smaller block, with a lot of uneven edges. Trim to form a square.
Join two squares together as seen below.
Join these blocks together making sure to match the points. Sew slowly here, and it should turn out fine. Add borders around.
Trim the block using an 8.5 by 8.5 inch acrylic block to achieve perfect edges and points.
And that's it! Another block is completed. We are halfway done now!

Consider this a verbal warning -- if you don't want bears in your yard, take down your bird feeders.
Parks and Wildlife says bears are coming out of hibernation and searching for food this time of year.
"Bears are always looking for an easy meal and they're going to go wherever that may be," says Abbie Walls, with Parks and Wildlife.
She says you should be careful about leaving garbage out as well. If bears know they can grab food in your neighborhood, they'll identify it as a food source and come back for more.
Walls says you should never approach a bear if you seen one, instead throw small stones or yell at it to make if feel uncomfortable.

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN analyst: Arizona Cardinals will compete for a playoff spot
The Arizona Cardinals won just five games last season.
Their struggles led to the removal of both head coach Ken Whisenhunt and general manager Rod Graves from their positions. To replace them, the team went and promoted Steve Keim to GM and hired Bruce Arians as coach.
Then, the two of them went about remaking the roster.
Heading into their Week 1 matchup with the St. Louis Rams, the Cardinals will feature 26 players -- nearly half the roster -- who were not with the team last season.
The amount of turnover makes sense, as not only did the Cardinals need a talent upgrade, but it's also a scenario Arians is familiar with.
"I love all the moves they made, I really do," ESPN NFL analyst Ron Jaworski told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Thursday. "I'm going to look back and say Bruce Arians went through this last year in Indianapolis."
Last year, Arians was hired as the offensive coordinator for a team that won just two games the previous season. The Colts' housecleaning included the release of future Hall of Fame QB Peyton Manning, among others, and not much was expected of the squad.
Then, head coach Chuck Pagano had to take a leave of absence from the team due to leukemia, Arians took over on an interim basis, and the Colts went on to win 11 games and reach the playoffs.
While that specific set of circumstances was rather unique, Jaworski noted that the idea of that much roster turnover leading to success is not something that can't be replicated.
"From day one, Bruce Arians and Chuck Pagano in Indianpolis, they didn't care what the record was the year before," he said. "They believed in the team they had put together; it wasn't a rebuilding...much like Indianapolis did a year ago, went to the playoffs, I look at this Arizona team right now. A lot of change, but a lot of quality football players.
"This could be a playoff contender."
Of course, Jaworski noted plenty would have to go right for the Cardinals to reach the postseason, but says they did enough to get themselves into the conversation.
"This is still a good football team that will compete for a playoff spot."

Dollar rises vs yen on Fed tapering view; kiwi shines
SYDNEY/SINGAPORE, Jan 21 (Reuters) – The dollar rose versus
the yen on Tuesday, helped by renewed talk that the U.S. Federal
Reserve may announce a further reduction of its bond-buying
stimulus next week, while the New Zealand dollar surged after a
surprise pick-up in inflation.
The U.S. dollar advanced 0.5 percent to 104.65 yen,
bringing it closer to possible resistance near 104.92 yen, an
intraday high hit on Jan. 16.
Dollar holds firm vs euro; Aussie off lows after China GDP
SYDNEY/SINGAPORE, Jan 20 (Reuters) – The U.S. dollar set a
two-month high versus the euro on Monday, having enjoyed a solid
comeback last week after a string of mostly upbeat data
convinced markets the Federal Reserve will continue its gradual
withdrawal of stimulus.
The beleaguered Australian dollar got a bit of relief after
China's annual economic growth in the October-December quarter
of 2013 came in at 7.7 percent, down from 7.8 percent in the
previous three months but slightly ahead of market expectations
for growth of 7.6 percent.
Yen takes breather vs. dollar as short-covering rally loses steam
SYDNEY/SINGAPORE (Reuters) – The yen eased versus the dollar on Tuesday, taking a breather after having rallied broadly the previous day following a selloff on Wall Street and a further drop in U.S. Treasury yields.
The dollar rose 0.5 percent to 103.48 yen, regaining some ground after its 1.1 percent drop on Monday, when the dollar fell to as low as 102.85 yen, its lowest level in about a month.
Dollar hits near one-month low vs. yen after weak U.S. jobs data
SINGAPORE/SYDNEY (Reuters) – The dollar hit its lowest level in nearly a month versus the yen on Monday after surprisingly soft U.S. jobs data disappointed dollar bulls, with traders reassessing how quickly the Federal Reserve can scale back stimulus.
The dollar slid 0.6 percent to 103.48 yen, having fallen to 103.26 yen at one point, its lowest level since December 18. The greenback's losses accelerated after it breached Friday's intraday low of 103.83 yen.
Dollar hits near 1-mth low vs yen after weak US jobs data
SINGAPORE/SYDNEY, Jan 13 (Reuters) – The dollar hit its
lowest level in nearly a month versus the yen on Monday after
surprisingly soft U.S. jobs data disappointed dollar bulls,
with traders reassessing how quickly the Federal Reserve can
scale back stimulus.
The dollar slid 0.6 percent to 103.48 yen, having fallen to

Dollar firmer vs yen but gains limited after disappointing U.S. data
SINGAPORE/SYDNEY, Jan 7 (Reuters) – The dollar edged higher
versus the yen on Tuesday but was still struggling to recoup its
losses from the previous day, when investors took aim at the
greenback in the wake of disappointing U.S. data.
Trading is usually lacklustre in the first full trading week
of the year as investors trickle back to their desks, with
position adjustments dominating trade. That has given some
support to the yen, the worst performing major currency in 2013
due to Japan's ultra-loose monetary policy.
Yen edges higher, gets respite from recent selloff
SINGAPORE (Reuters) – The yen edged higher on Monday and pulled away from recent five-year lows versus the dollar and the euro, with traders using weakness in Tokyo stocks as a pretext to buy the Japanese currency.

The dollar held steady at 105.24 yen, clinging near a high of 105.41 yen set on Monday according to Thomson Reuters data, the dollar's strongest level versus the yen since October 2008.

Tofino Cottage Rental Photos and Description
Cottage, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath; hot tub; fire pit; private garden
Our cottage is mid way between Tofino centre and Chesterman's Beach (one of our famous Surf beaches) and more or less across from Mackenzie Beach. The bike path goes in both directions and we offer bicycles for our guests to use if they don't feel like walking the twenty minutes or driving the five minutes to Chesterman beach or the village. After a day of surfing or whale watching our guests love to warm up in our hot tub, which is set in a beautiful private forest glade overlooking the water. Our five acre forested property is magnificent; there are trees that are over 300 years old, both cedar and spruce, and the property borders the tidal waters of Tofino Inlet. At high or low tide this provincially designated wildlife sanctuary is a bread basket for innumerable species of birds in spring and fall. It is also the habitat of Black Bear, River Otters, mink & raccoons as well as a pair of eagles, which have a longstanding nest in a giant spruce on the property. The views over the water are always changing; at low tide it looks like an endless green lawn extending for miles between the islands and we often see wolves out on the flats, and at high tide it is back to the sea again and then it is time to launch a canoe and go exploring. You can check out photos of the cottage by googling Red Crow in Tofino.
Keywords: Cottage/Cabin
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets considered
About The Owner
We have owned our five acre property since 1989 and the cottage was built in 1991 and is detailed with cedar cut from the property. We run the the Red Crow Guest House (on the same property), which along with our cottage is available Spring thru Fall; over the past 20+ years we have hosted wonderful guests from all over the world.
The Owner purchased this cottage in 1991
Why The Owner chose Tofino
This is the most stunning piece of inlet property with magnificent huge ancient cedars, many over 400 years old; there is a magic about this land that captivated me the moment I stepped onto it and we built our house here with much care so as to disturb the beauty and integrity of the property as little as possible.
What makes this cottage unique
This property offers a tranquility and privacy and is a place where you can settle in and take it easy for a while. The abundance of cedar detailing makes the cottage feel warm and cozy but it is spacious enough for people to spread out and enjoy different activities in different areas. You can enjoy a game of checkers or chess at the board table in the kitchen/dining room or lounge on the bench seat or just daydream out the window while curled up on the sweet window seat in the living room. The bed alcove overlooking the garden is a delicious place to wake up and enjoy coffee in bed. You will find that time seems to stand still in this little oasis.

Cardinals' slide continues
Posted by Brad Wilbricht
Tuesday, October 23 - 9:00 AM
Following a 4-0 start, the Cardinals have now dropped three consecutive outings and are on their way to digging an insurmountable hole in the NFC West. Arizona's latest setback against the Vikings continued to expose the team's most glaring shortcomings, particularly in the trenches.
On the offensive side of the ball, the Cardinals allowed seven more sacks and have now given up 35 sacks through the first seven games of the year. Despite the constant pressure, QB John Skelton played a respectable game completing 25-of-36 passes for 262 yards and a touchdown. Skelton, however, took a handful of punishing hits and never looked fully comfortable against the Minnesota pass rush.
Defensively, the Cardinals held their own and certainly would have had a chance to win if the offense pulled its weight. Arizona limited the Vikings to just 43 yards through the air but couldn't stop the run at critical points in the game. Minnesota racked up 166 yards on the ground, led by RB Adrian Peterson who accounted for 153 of those yards on 23 carries.
Opponents have identified a simple game plan to beat the Cardinals: run the ball and rush the passer. Over the past three games Arizona is allowing seven sacks per game and 147 yards per contest on the ground. Regardless of the opponent, those numbers won't equate to many victories in the NFL.
Despite the loss, a major positive was the Cardinals ability to run the ball against a tough Vikings front four. LaRod Stephens-Howling led the way, even though there were major concerns about him being a feature back. Stephens-Howling put those concerns to rest for the moment, racking up 104 yards rushing on 20 carries. He ran for a score and added four catches for 45 yards out of the backfield.
Another bright spot was the continued emergence of WR Andre Roberts. Roberts reeled in a team-high seven passes for 103 yards along with a touchdown. Roberts seems to have finally provided the Cardinals with a legitimate target opposite of All-Pro wideout Larry Fitzgerald. The next item up for Arizona is for Fitzgerald and Roberts to be productive in the same game. Back in his home state, Fitzgerald was limited to just 29 yards receiving on four grabs.
In the surprisingly stiff NFC West division, the Cardinals are a loss or two away from being in a must-win situation on a weekly basis. Monday night's home tilt against the 49ers could be a make-or-break game for Arizona, something that would have been unthinkable just a few short weeks ago.

Here is Dexter's bloody resume
As "Dexter" returns to Showtime on Sunday for its eighth and final season, it's time to look back and reflect on the eponymous anti-hero's experiences over the years.
And what better way to do so than to recap some of Mr. Morgan's most impactful murders? These are some of this bloody show's shocking deaths:
Mike Donovan
Our first night out with Dex wasted little time letting us in on his process when he abducted this husband/father/pastor and ritualistically put him to death. But Donovan was no saint; his crime was the rape and murder of children, as Dexter reminded him by showing the dug-up bodies of Mike's victims before stabbing him through the heart.
Brian Moser
Also known as The Ice Truck Killer and Rudy Cooper, Dexter was blindsided by the revelation that Brian was his long-lost older brother. All Brian wanted was a family reunion after the grisly childhood murder of their mother separated them — that and to kill Dexter's adoptive sister Debra. Dexter ultimately, wisely, chose Deb.
Santos Jimenez
One had to figure the drug-trade hit man and chain-saw-wielding killer of Dexter's mother would taste the wrath of the Dark Defender eventually. Initially, Dexter sought out this demon from his past, just looking to talk and move on, but you know what they say about the best-laid schemes.
Nathan Marten
Nathan might have been just a guy asking for help from Dexter's soon-to-be stepdaughter Astor in the supermarket, but the vigilante recognizes a fellow monster when he sees one. Marten was a departure for Dex: a pedophile photographer with no record of murder. That was enough this time, as Dexter strangled Nathan while the villain browsed photos of Astor.
Arthur Mitchell
Mitchell, aka Trinity, appeared to have what Dexter wanted: a great family and a decades-long body count. Dexter looked up to Arthur until learning how cruel he was, but that revelation came too late. Although he sent Mitchell to a watery grave, Dexter's hesitance cost him the life of his wife, Rita. John Lithgow's chilling performance as Trinity earned him an Emmy.
The eighth and final season of "Dexter" premieres Sunday night at 9 on Showtime.

Report: NHL expansion to Las Vegas is 'a done deal'
For years now, Gary Bettman has politely rebuffed inquiries about possible NHL expansion, saying that the league was always listening to pitches, but that it wasn't at a point where it was willing to seriously consider welcoming any new members to the family.that stance has changed. Expansion he says is not only happening, but in one of the unlikeliest of destinations:
Sources close to the situation have indicated Las Vegas is a done deal, the only thing to be determined being which owner will be entitled to proclaim that he brought the first major league sports franchise to Sin City.
Gallagher then goes on to suggest the league might be hard-pressed to limit expansion to just two teams. One of the other new franchises, presumably, would land in Seattle, a city that has been at the center of expansion rumors for the past year. Vancouver-born billionaire Victor Coleman has been identified as someone interested in bringing an NHL club to the Pacific Northwest.
Quebec City—with an NHL-ready arena set to open in 2015, and with Pierre-Karl Peladeau, an obvious owner-in-waiting—also would be a favorite.
While those two cities and their lengthy ties to the sport would be logical choices, it's the possibility of pucks in Vegas that really catches the eye ... and draws out the snarky naysayers.
And then there's that whole gambling thing.
MORE: Possible team name and roster
Maybe that's reason enough that Vegas shouldn't happen. But give the commissioner credit. Bettman has had the vision and the courage to put teams in locations his predecessors never would have considered. Once in place, he's laid everything on the line, including his own political credit, to help them survive. And in many of those locales the game has thrived, planting the kind of roots that gives teams a legitimate chance of long-term success.
At this point all we have is one report, not streaming footage of a press conference, so maybe we should all double down on taking this news with a grain of salt. But if there's anything to this report, if Gary really believes that Vegas is ready for the NHL—and vice versa—maybe we all should just listen to the man.
UPDATE: Though Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly is denying the Las Vegas rumor, at least one veteran NHLer seems to like a Sin City team's chances:
Gonna be unreal when Las Vegas goes undefeated at home every year........ #nhl #expansion

I spanked my son and was found guilty of abuse and they issued a order that im not allowed to have a gun in my possession for a year.

Addison Groove Project
with special guests Jennifer Hartswick and Natalie Cressman, David Bronson
Brooklyn Bowl
61 Wythe Avenue
Brooklyn, NY, 11249
Doors 6:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
On Saturday, September 21st, Boston's Addison Groove Project (AGP) will be performing live in NYC/Brooklyn for the first time in over 5 years. AGP began performing club shows in when the members were in high school and quickly gained a reputation among local promoters and music fans alike. Their performances were high energy, musically tight, and inventive. Over the course of ten years the band was able to self-release 3 studio albums and 2 live albums. They performed all across the country, successfully completing 6 national tours, including such prestigious venues as Wetlands & Irving Plaza in New York City, The Higher Ground in Burlington, and the Abbey Pub in Chicago. They also performed at the Bonnaroo Music Festival, along with other summer music festivals across the country. They headlined several two night stands at the Paradise, as well as co-headlining the Palladium in Worcester and the Somerville Theater. They were named by Boston Magazine as the "Best Funk or Jamband" of 2005.
Their music has been called "a sophisticated mix of funk, R&B and jazz," "sharp, horn-driven," and "high energy, highly danceable jazz funk."
Seven years ago NYC-based singer-songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist David Bronson left a burgeoning New York indie rock band to begin a necessary calling: the realization of a 22-song autobiographical concept record that had overtaken his interior life.
Collectively titled The Long Lost Story, the project is a two-installment narrative chronicling a Pandora's box of an emotional journey, originally stemming from a failed relationship that destabilized Bronson and thrust him into a slate-cleaning, introspective quest. Bronson has now released Story, the 11-track second half of the project; its prequel The Long Lost will be released at a later date.
"The project started in the aftermath of a traumatic relationship and it became a retelling of my own journey getting through that; really a metaphor of growth. But, over time, it also became very much about the completion of the thing itself, 'Can I do this?' It became all consuming, and a real test, of sorts," Bronson explains of the project's dual emotional trajectories.
Story sets sail with the following opening lyric from "The Turns": You told me it was too much/ I said that's exactly how I want it, so/ We, although nothing could be gained, gave it everything just the same/ So we grabbed on tight and held fast just like a child/ And watched the best idea so quickly turn the worst one, though/ In those few hundred times you gave to me the whole, the full inside, a single lifetime.
It's a telling entrance to a richly detailed and layered album experience in that it reveals Bronson's sense of commitment — romantic and idealistic — and hints at the ways in which this amorous resilience unravels into a transformative existential crisis. It's a daunting conceptual undertaking: using the arc of a relationship as a metaphor not only for the scope of an entire life's development, but also for the complex and difficult process of completing a highly personal artistic project.

Schools and colleges are to have a new legal obligation to prevent radicalisation, the home secretary announced today. Theresa May said that any organisation found failing would face sweeping orders forcing them to comply. The measures will also apply to prisons, police and probation providers, she added. Under the new obligation, universities, colleges and schools would have to ensure that extremists were not able to speak at events. In future the Home Office will also have the power to order universities to ban speakers outright. Mrs May told a counterterrorism event in London that the measures are needed because the terror threat to the UK was greater than at any time before or since the 9/11 terror attacks on the United States. "We are engaged in a struggle that is fought on many fronts and in many forms. It is a struggle that will go on for many years," she said. "And the threat we face right now is perhaps greater than it ever has been - we must have the powers we need to defend ourselves." The measure is included in the new Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill which will be introduced to parliament on Wednesday. The bill will also include measures to ban insurance companies from offering cover for a ransom in the event of kidnapping and plans to prevent suspected foreign fighters from returning to the UK for a period of time. Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures (Tpims) will be strengthened to
A 12-year-old black schoolboy was killed by police in Cleveland, Ohio, when they mistook his toy gun for a real firearm. Tamir Rice died from his wounds in hospital after being shot at least once by an officer responding to an emergency call about someone waving a "probably fake" gun at a playground. According to the police, they fired after the boy ignored requests to raise his hands and instead reached for the toy in his waistband. They said that Tamir did not make any verbal threats but the gun did not have the orange safety indicator usually found on the muzzle. Timothy Kucharski, the family's lawyer, said the boy went to the park to play with friends on Saturday afternoon. He told the WKYC television channel: "Apparently, listening to the 911 call … the caller halfway across the park recognised that this was a toy gun. I'm not sure how police w
Highly advanced spy software has been quietly stealing sensitive information from governments, companies and academic facilities across the world for at least six years, security researchers have said. The malicious software, or malware, which has been named Regin, is most likely to have been created by computer experts working for a government, said Symantec, the security company, in a report. One of the best-known pieces of malware is Stuxnet, a hostile programme that ultimately destroyed uranium centrifuges that were central to the Iranian nuclear programme. The American and Israeli governments were said to be behind the attack, although neither admitted to it. Symantec's report suggests that Regin is comparable in complexity to the Stuxnet virus and has most likely been used as a government cyber-espionage tool. The company did not say which governmen

Hey guys, Britax recently commissioned some research on family time which revealed (perhaps shockingly) that exploring outside with our families has dropped by a third in just one generation. Apparently more than 60% of parents questioned admitted that most of their family time was spent indoors.
Do you try to make time to go outdoors? We're out pretty much all the time in the warmer months, but how about those colder ones? I've recently introduced Tia to leaf kicking/jumping/collecting and she's always enjoyed splashing in puddles. We don't enjoy picnics in the colder months and the park visits definitely get shorter but I do try to make a point of getting out and about with Tia as much as I can. We don our hats and gloves and try to make the best of each season.
What's your favourite season to go outdoors and play in? Do you agree with the market reaserch? Find out more about it here.
· British parents say getting outdoors as a family is 'stressful'
· Report reveals the more children you have, the less time you spend outside
· Parents are nervous about their children's safety while outdoors
The UK's families are a nation of home nesters as new research reveals that 60 per cent of parents prefer to spend quality time with their children at home rather than going out together. The Family Time report*, commissioned by child mobility experts, Britax, explores family lifestyles and adventures in the UK and shows that families are spending 33 per cent less time outdoors than they did in their own childhoods.
Whilst 65 per cent of the 2,000 parents surveyed agree that family time outside is fun, almost one in five (18%) families labelled it as 'stressful' with a further 41 per cent worrying about their children's safety when they are outdoors.
With the dark evenings and winter gales now in full swing, the unpredictable British weather is a key factor for families staying at home for over 50 per cent of parents (54%). Other challenges to family outdoor freedom include:
· High costs: 63 per cent say the cost of family days out limit quality time together out of the home
· Time: 35 per cent say the time it takes to prepare and leave the house with children is a deterrent
· Equipment: Almost a quarter (25%) cite the amount of equipment needed (pushchairs, changing bags, bottles etc) as a de-motivator to heading outside
· Housework: Balancing household chores and family life is a major factor for 27 per cent of parents
· Tantrums: 22 per cent say the fear of their children throwing tantrums in public tends to keep them inside for family time
Despite the deterrents, 61 per cent of parents still recognise that getting out with their children is important in terms of building memories with their family, with activities like family holidays (47%), days out with the family (15%) and playing outdoors with friends (25%) topping the list of the best memories from their own childhoods.
Family life specialist Dr Pat Spungin comments: "Whilst spending quality time at home together is still incredibly valuable for any family, powerful life long memories can be made by discovering new things together outdoors.
"But it's not always easy. This research shows how families feel the odds are really against them when it comes to getting outdoors, but there are some really simple steps that parents can take to make the process much simpler and more stress free. Whilst excursions and theme parks can be expensive, don't underestimate the value of simply taking a walk out in the park with the children. You'll all get some fresh air and will have lots of fun in the process."
Dr Pat Spungin has created a series of expert tips at http://babyonboard.britax.co.uk/en designed to help minimise the stress of getting out together as a family.
More children, more challenges…
The Family Time report shows a direct correlation in the number of children in a family and the amount of time spent together outside. Whilst 40 per cent of families with one child say they try to go out to the park together each weekend, this decreases to 33 per cent for families with three children. Over half (56%) of parents with three children said they rarely try something new at the weekends and prefer to stay at home.
The probability of watching TV together as a family also increases with the number of children in the family. Only one out of five (20%) families with one child watch TV all together at the weekends versus 30 per cent for a two child family and 38 per cent for three children – almost double the amount of one child families.
The report found that families in East Anglia dedicate the most amount of time outdoors together, followed by Wales and the North West. Northern Ireland was revealed as the region that spends the least amount of time outdoors as a family.**
"We believe that becoming a parent is really about becoming yourself and that every family has the right to live their life to the full" comments Amy Voller, Brand Director EMEA from Britax. "We understand how challenging this can be for modern families however so are committed to making travelling and exploring with children as easy, safe and as stress free as possible. That's why we will always go far beyond what's required and won't stop until we've achieved the safest travel solutions for outdoor family adventures."

We told you about a rumor that started with a thread at NeoGAF and a Gamefly listing, one that involved light gun shooting and zombies. And no, this rumor wasn't about Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, but rather the classic arcade game that started it all, House of the Dead.
When rumors like this turn out to be false, it's somewhat devastating. We're too fragile to have our emotions played with in such an insensitive manner. Fortunately, in this case, the rumor is true, confirmed, verified, and ... well, all you need to know is that it's happening, folks.
Not only did Joystiq confirm this rumor with Sega, but the company released an official announcement about House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return, which will combine the two arcade games. We only wish we were getting the original House of the Dead with it, but we're still pleased to hear that we'll be shooting more zombies in the spring.
