Best New Music Mix For January 29 2014. Clockwise, Above From Left.
Photo: Courtesy of Tomas Barfod; Glassnote Records; Kanine Records; Brud Music. This week, we're bringing you a smattering of our favorite recent electronic pop along with one of the best indie-rock tracks in recent memory. We start things off with Scottish synth-pop act CHVRCHES' take on a goth classic. Then, it's Cloud Nothings with some anthemic indie rock, Mas Ysa at his most personal, and Grizzly Bear re-imagined by Baths. The Perfect Playlist: Bakin' in the Kitchen. The 10 Best New Songs We Heard This Week: David Bowie, The Knife. It's Friday, which means that it's nearly the weekend, and also that it's time to look back at the best new music we've heard over the last few days.
This week there's James Murphy remixing David Bowie, along with similarly excellent remixes of tracks by ARP and The Knife, Snoop Dogg and Dâm-Funk collaborating on a summery funk jam, wonderful new material from Yamantaka//Sonic Titan, Bézier and Sapphire Slows, another Bowie remix, and more. It's all for freeeeeeeeeeee, so click through and get listening! Best New Music Mix For October 9 2013. Photo: Courtesy of Danny Brown; Courtesy of GEMS; Courtesy of Motion Studies; Courtesy of Kurt Vile & Sore Eros.
Today's This Is Our Jam roundup features new acts, old favorites, and two pleasant collaborations. We start things off with a fuzzed-out anthem from Perfect Pussy and a new-old song by Kurt Vile. Then, it's an unheard team-up courtesy of Burial and Four Tet, Danny Brown's wild new video, and a danceable jam from Brooklyn's Motion Studies. Casual Party Playlist- Music For Entertaining. Allow us to set the scene.
It's Thursday night, and four of your friends are on their way over. You've got a couple bottles of wine, a new bottle of whiskey, and Seamless is on the way. This isn't a "party" party, but you still need a good soundtrack to kick back, relax, and chill out (without putting everyone in a coma). With such a scenario in mind, we've selected 16 tracks that straddle the line between low-key hang and casual soirée. Wynter Gordon - Fall Playlist. Photographed by Bek Andersen.
We've already introduced you to the beautiful, stylish, and soulful singer Wynter Gordon, one of our favorite young talents out there. Well, we've brought her back to hook you up with not only some intel on the finer points of fall fashion, but also a little music to start the season off with a kick. As Gordon tells us, it's time to take advantage of the weather and pile on the contrasting prints. Best New Music Mix For October 2 2013.

Welcome to another installment of This Is Our Jam, where we highlight our favorite tracks of the week for your listening pleasure. We kick things off with a 22-minute YouTube film from Arcade Fire featuring three new songs and loads of guest stars. Then we have a new house number from DFA staple The Juan Maclean (with a little help from LCD Soundsystem's Nancy Whang), new music from U.K. singer/producer Kwes, an airy new track from Blood Diamonds, and a Nancy Sinatra-esque slow-burner from Widowspeak.

This week, we're serving up a little something for everybody. First, head-turning R&B singer FKA twigs has a new collaboration with Arca from her upcoming EP2. Grizzly Bear- Shields Expanded Will Calls (Marfa Demo) Photo: Courtesy of Grizzly Bear One of our favorite albums last year was Grizzly Bear's fantastic fourth LP, Shields.
With ambitious production, knotty guitars, and gorgeous harmonies, the album showed once again that the indie quartet only continue to improve as the years pass. Now, a year after the LP's release, Grizzly Bear are dropping a new version of the record with tons of bonus material, aptly-titled Shields: Expanded. Best New Music Mix For August 28 2013. This week's playlist occupies various corners of the electronic-music world, ranging from bubbly pop to experimental soundscapes.
We start off with a new release from Darkside (a.k.a. Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington), followed by the latest from experimental music extraordinaire Tim Hecker. Things lighten up a bit with a track from Angel Haze (succeeding in her attempt to court the pop and fashion worlds), Icona Pop's new banger featuring NYC rapper Zebra Katz, and some synth-pop bliss from Drop Electric. The 25 Best Websites for Music Lovers. A couple of weeks back, we published a pretty extensive list of great websites for literature lovers.
The feature generated lots of feedback and comment from our readers, so much so that we thought we'd repeat the exercise for music. There are the obvious music sites that everyone reads — Pitchfork, Stereogum, Spin, Resident Advisor (if you're into electronic music), etc. But there are a galaxy of other sites out there, so here are our favorites: 25 of the sites you may not be reading already, but probably should be. There are loads more, of course, so let us know what you've got bookmarked, too. Aquarium Drunkard.
Best New Music Mix For July 24 2013. Clockwise Above From Left: Photo: Courtesy of Earl Sweatshirt; King Krule; Kwes; Big Sean Saying that this was a good week in hip-hop is like saying the Super Bowl is a good day for football. In case you haven't heard, Los Angeles rapper Kendrick Lamar hopped on a Big Sean track and proceeded to single-handedly raise the stakes of the industry. Then, as if rap didn't already have enough drama, we saw the release of a new Earl Sweatshirt song that features Frank Ocean addressing his recent incident with Chris Brown. Outside of rap, we also have new tunes from King Krule, Kwes, Cults, Juana Molina, and an especially beautiful track from producer Jon Hopkins featuring Purity Ring.
Summer Playlists - Washington DC DJs. Let's get real: Summer in Chicago has never been just a three-month run of 90-degree days (even though this past week would have tourists thinking otherwise). And since the steamy season is more a state of mind than the expectation of rising temps, we've hit up local personalties to pick the songs that celebrate the carefree, carpe diem attitude we've been rocking since June. Ahead, the playlist for summer's bon voyage party. 1. Ryan Beshel, public relations coordinator, 900 North Michigan Shops: "Applause" by Lady Gaga. The 10 Best New Songs We Heard This Week: Julia Holter, The Julie Ruin. It's Friday, which means that it's time to look back at the best new music we've heard over the last few days. This week suggests that the dearth of decent releases over the last couple of weeks is finally coming to an end — there's another new track from the new Julia Holter album, which sounds many kinds of awesome, along with the return of Kathleen Hanna (and JD Samson!)
, a summer jam from John Cale, weird dark atmospherics from Dustin Wong, a great collaboration between Fatima Al Qadiri and Visionist, and plenty more. Click through to get listening! Sudoeste Music Festival Playlist. It's August, which means we've reached the twilight of the festival season. Still, if you're willing to do a little of traveling there's plenty fun to be had. Case in point: The Sudoeste festival in Portugal, which starts tonight and lasts for five days of electronic, pop, and reggae bliss.
Featuring huge EDM names like AVICII, big stars like Cee Lo Green and Janelle Monae, and even appearances by Snoop Lion and Pitbull, it's a good reason to get out to Zambujeira do Mar for some serious partying. To give you a taste of the festival's unique flavor, we've collected fifteen tracks from this year's lineup. Even if a trip to Portugal isn't in the cards, our playlist should keep you grooving through the end of summer. Best New Music Mix For August 7 2013. Clockwise From Above Left: CFCF, FKA twigs, Omar Souleyman, Braids This week, This Is Our Jam goes international, with new tracks from Greece, Syria, the U.K., Canada, and more.
We start things off with a new one from dream pop duo Keep Shelly In Athens, followed by up-and-coming alt-popper FKA twigs, and then it moves up to Canada with new tracks from CFCF, Braids, and Drake.

Rogers Customers Get a Sneak Peek at the New BlackBerry 10 Devices
Back in December, Rogers customers were the first to be able to reserve the new BlackBerry 10 devices. Today, we're thrilled to announce that the BlackBerry Z10 will be in stores in 6 days!
Want an inside look at the new BlackBerry 10? Check out the video below:

The BlackBerry Z10, a new all-touch device, will run on Rogers' LTE network. It will be available at Rogers retail and dealer locations across Canada beginning on February 5th, and starting at $149.99 with select 3-year plans. If you prefer a more traditional QWERTY-keyboard device, the BlackBerry Q10 is the BlackBerry 10 device for you – coming to Rogers in 2013
Why Rogers?
For more than 10 years, Rogers has been selling BlackBerry devices to Canadians. We were the first to launch BlackBerry services worldwide, and have the largest base of BlackBerry users in Canada. We're happy to continue our tradition of innovation. Being a Rogers BlackBerry 10 customer means:
- Access to Experts: Our employees are trained and ready to get you started on BlackBerry 10, ensuring your transition is easy and flawless;
- Exclusive applications: You'll also have access to exclusive Rogers applications like Rogers Anyplace TV, Rogers One Number, My Account, Sportsnet, and coming soon, Smart Home Monitoring;

The Rogers LTE network is available in select Canadian cities; visit rogers.com/lte for coverage details.
We've got some more news for BlackBerry enthusiasts
As of January 31st, current Rogers customers can beat the line and pre-register for the Q10, a QWERTY-keyboard BlackBerry10 device, through the Rogers Reservation System.
What new feature excites you most about BlackBerry 10?

Weekend Reading: Couch commerce, tablet publications, and 2013 predictions
Happy weekend everyone! It's been an icy cold week with no signs of warming up unfortunately – so there's no better time to grab some cocoa and bunker down with this week's headlines in our latest edition of Weekend Reading!
Couch Commerce
When I think of tablets, I think of the convenience it provides while on the go with a larger screen than a smartphone. However, Mobile Commerce Daily posed a different perspective this week -
"Tablet devices are now known as "couch devices" because consumers are reaching for them while they are sitting at home." Read the article for yourself and you'll see its true!
Many of us use them in place of our laptops as a companion device to our televisions – and televisions host commercials. Commercials with fancy fashions, new products, and limited time offers. All of these factors come into play as reasons why online shopping from a tablet has increased by more than 300 percent in the last year alone! You can read more on their convenience and popularity in the entire article here.
I'm pretty sure I'll have my tablet alongside my cocoa this weekend when I'm curled up inside because it's minus 30 outside! How many of you are reading this edition of Weekend Reading on your tablet right now?
Are you reading tablet publications?
Keeping with the tablet theme, according to Tech Vibes, tablet publications are faring better in Canada than other parts of the world. In fact, publication apps account for 15% of all apps in iPad's top 200 grossing apps! In the same category, they are also the second highest grossing apps next to games.
So who are the top publishers Canadians are reading? Do we prefer magazines to newspapers to newsstands? Find out in Tech Vibes infographic with more telling stats here.
2013 – The year of mobile?
That's what The Mobilists are predicting in their post this week on 2013 Mobile Trends and Predictions, with a wish list that includes converting big data to actionable data, the rise of mobile payments, an increase in mobile shopping, and BYOD (bring your own device) to name a few.
But what do they think about mobile advertising, QR codes, or augmented reality? Check out their thorough article and share your thoughts on their lists in the comments below.
Personally I'm most excited to see developments in mobile use in everyday scenarios – from remote control access to household functions, to deeper control within our cars and even watches (as seen in Tech Zone 360 from this year's CES.) I'm also eager for mobile payments to advance and become a regular form of payment now with our CIBC agreement for mobile wallets and suretap technology. 2013 is shaping up to be an innovative year already!

Rogers Smart Home Monitoring from a mother's point of view
Mara Shapiro has three kids and two dogs, works in social media, spends a lot of time on Twitter and writes about parenting teens and life in general all over the Internet. Parenting is her way of life and she's always happy when she finds new solutions to make her life and parenting easier.
So when we invited Mara to try out Rogers Smart Home Monitoring for a year, she jumped at the opportunity. She thought it would help her manage her home better, little did she know it would become another tool in her parenting kit. See how by reading about Mara's experience:
How is this system different from your previous old-fashioned alarm system?
Rogers Smart Home Monitoring is completely different than what we had before, which was a simple alarm system. The equipment has been completely updated. Before, we had old keypads, door contacts and motion sensors. Now, we can manage our system from our smartphones, the tablet Touchpad, our computer and still use the old keypad. Our old system didn't integrate our thermostat. It's so much easier to manage the temperatures in the house now. We didn't have the cameras either, and those are a fantastic way to see what's happening at the house. I could go on, from the rules that are so easy to set up using the web portal, to our ability to see when doors were opened. As I said, everything is different, updated, and as state-of-the art as it gets.
What is your favorite feature?
That's really hard to say. I absolutely love being able to manage my home from my smartphone, see what's on the cameras, and even control the lamp in my living room. It's sort of fun to turn the light on and off remotely, and hopefully freak everyone at home out. So, I guess the flexibility of using Smart Home Monitoring from wherever we are is my favorite feature. However, the cameras are pretty cool too. And, setting the thermostat rules from my smartphone instead of fooling around with the buttons and arrows? Oh, who am I kidding? I love everything!
Did anything surprise you about the system?
How easy it is to use surprised me most. In the past, I was not a fan of alarm systems. I was always afraid I would set it off, or put in the wrong code or something. Rogers Smart Home Monitoring is so easy to use and with the Touchpad and smartphone app, so easy to turn on. Setting the rules with the web portal is really simple as well. Overall, anyone with a bit of tech knowledge or training would really be able to enjoy and manage what would normally be a complicated system.
Do you feel that Smart Home Monitoring simplifies your daily life?
Smart Home Monitoring definitely simplifies my daily life. Using the web portal, I can set up everything, from my thermostat to my lamp, to how often the cameras take pictures. I can see when the kids get home from school and what the dogs are doing downstairs. I like feeling secure, knowing that monitoring the status of my house is just a click away. As long as I have my smartphone with me, I can manage my system. I also like knowing that my kids and dogs are secure when we aren't home. They are getting to an age where we could leave them alone at home for a few days when we travel, and with this system we can do that comfortably.
How does Smart Home Monitoring help you keep your family in check?
We can see when the kids are coming into the house and when they are leaving. For example, my son is supposed to be home by 1 am when he's out with the car. We can easily check when the front door was opened. That in itself is worth a lot, because it's important to let the teenagers know we're keeping an eye out for them. We've also got sensors on the garage doors, so I anticipate using that to make sure that the kids haven't left the garage open when they take their bikes. It's a great way to keep our eye on the kids without nagging them or asking too many questions.
Mara illustrates how we designed an easy-to-use system that lets you set "Rules" in a breeze that adapt to your life. You can ask the lights to come up at sunset anytime of the year, and you can automate your sensors, thermostat and lights together so that when you leave the house, the heat goes down and the lights are turned off. This is followed by a quick SMS text alert re-assuring you that it's all happened.
For more information about Rogers Smart Home Monitoring, go to www.Rogers.com/smarthome.
How do you think Rogers Smart Home Monitoring could help you make your life easier?

Weekend Reading: The Nokia Lumia 920 and future tech trends – mobile shopping, automatic phone silencing, and wearable tech
Only 18 days into 2013 and already there have been some big developments and predictions giving us lots to look forward to! This week we proudly announced that we're adding additional colours to our Nokia Lumia 920 lineup. Also in this week's edition of Weekend Reading, we'll discuss what the future holds for tech when it comes to mobile shopping, phone features, and wearable tech.
In the news: The Nokia Lumia 920
Ever since its release the Nokia Lumia 920 has been one of the most sought after devices worldwide. Customers were eager to share their interest in the device with us, but also expressed a strong desire for a wider range of colours. So earlier this week we were proud to reveal that in addition to the black one already available, Rogers would be carrying the Nokia Lumia 920 in red, white, and yellow as well! We even added a contest to the mix giving customers a chance to win a new Nokia Lumia 920 in the colour of their choice!
For those of you still wondering what all the hype is about, check out a 3-part review from The IT Nerd, detailing first impressions outside the box in part one, , specs and comparisons in part two, and what he thought of all the main features in part three. If you have any questions about the Nokia Lumia 920 and its capabilities, these detailed posts are sure to cover all that and more! Check out parts 1, 2, and 3 now.
Have mobile devices changed your shopping habits?
Are you one of the people who contributed to $25 billion in sales last year from phones and tablets? In a new study from eMarketer, people are more likely to be in a spending mood while lounging on the couch. Tablets in particular make it easier for online shopping now with larger screens and touch-drag technology that simplifies the experience.
eMarketer goes on to predict that by 2016, mobile will be $87 billion, or a quarter of all e-commerce, which isn't too hard to imagine when you consider consumers are spending an average of $329 per transaction on tablets and $250 on phones. Read up on the full article here and share your thoughts in the comments.
Microsoft looking to silence your phone for you
In possibly the greatest intro this week, CNET leads into this story as follows: "You've just sat down to watch "Les Miserables" and Russell Crowe's opened his mouth to bark, when the air is filled with the sound of… marimba?"
Moments such as this with a cellphone ringing in a crowded theatre are everyone's pet peeve, which is why Microsoft has filed a patent that would allow your phone to silence itself in key situations. And that's not all – it will dim your screen brightness when you get alerts too! Find out how GPS is making this technology possible in the full article from CNET UK's blog Crave. What do you think of this feature – necessity or luxury?
Trend alert: wearable tech
It seems that wearable tech is becoming the latest fashion commodity. Fewer people are wearing watches that simply tell us time and date, and opting for one that integrates with their smartphone, 'smartwatches.' .Then there's the augmented reality eye glasses – 'Project Glass' – introduced by Google and that graced the runway during Diane Von Furstenberg show in New York. With the rapid evolution of smartphone capabilities, people are more dependent on their devices than ever, making it something they want to have on them at all time.
Tech Zone 360 thinks a big part of this is attributed to the mobile app "ecosystem," which has opened up a world of tools at people's fingertips for health, shopping, socializing, and more on the go. As a result, we're even more dependent on our tech these days and less likely to leave it at home, or tuck it away in our bags.
Check out their full article for more on the direction the industry is headed in, and anticipated sales forecasts over the next five years.
What do you think? What should be the next tech fashion trend?

Minigraphics: Technology trends and predictions
Late last year, we surveyed 1040 Canadian smartphone and tablet owners to see how they used technology and what they predicted for the future. We presented the results in our latest Rogers Innovation Report, available through Slideshare. We also pulled together some of the statistics we found most interesting into a Rogers Innovation Report infographic. Now, we're releasing some of our favourite individual statistics in dynamic minigraphic format.
Where do you stand on the following questions?
Looking back, in 2012…
Did you download a racy novel to a mobile device?
Ah, 2012: the year of E.L. James' 50 Shades of Grey. Were you among the one-in-ten Canadian smartphone and tablet users who decided to opt for discretion and convenience by buying the electronic version of the novel and others like it through Amazon, iTunes and other online retailers? Hover your mouse over the dynamic minigraphic above to get other e-reader stats from around the world.
Have you ever used your smartphone in the bathroom? If so, how often?
An astounding 83% of Canadian smartphone users take the device with them to the washroom. A similar survey conducted in the UK last May concluded that 75% of respondents used their smartphone in the bathroom. We'd consider those people nomophobes – or people who experience stress when they're unable to use their mobile phone – but I certainly wouldn't consider them germophobes!
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement 'In the next 5 years babies will be using technology before they can walk or talk.'
Did the 44% of Canadian respondents who answered "yes" to this question have this video in mind? I know I did. Hover your mouse over our interactive baby minigraphic to access other similar precocious tablet baby videos on YouTube.
To get non-interactive versions of our Rogers Innovation Report minigraphics, visit our Pinterest page.
So? Where did you rank? Are you following Canadian trends? Ahead of them maybe? Tell us where you think technology is heading in the comments below or join us on Twitter to discuss the results using the #RIRExplores hashtag.

You Spoke, We Listened – Rogers is bringing you Red, White and Yellow Nokia Lumia 920s
In October, we were excited to be the first carrier to launch Windows Phone 8 devices, beginning with the exclusive launch of the Nokia Lumia 920. We've seen great interest in this device from our customers like you who are enjoying the new Windows Phone 8 experience. You've told us you're now easily able to share content across the Windows ecosystem, that you can use the PureView camera to snap photos and quickly upload them with the Rogers LTE network.
And many of you told us that you wanted us to carry the Nokia Lumia 920 in a range of colours. Here is what you had to say to us on RedBoard:

Tech Essentials at your fingertips!
We recently surveyed Canadians like you about their knowledge of technology, curious to find out more about their comfort level.
While 60% of Canadians give themselves a B grade or higher for overall tech savviness, only 4% actually earn that grade. When tested on online security, data usage and roaming, 64% got most of the online safety questions wrong, 60% are stumped by data usage and 47% don't understand roaming. The good news is that 87% of you are interested in learning more, with 83% of you open to using a website dedicated to helping consumers improve their tech knowledge.
You asked, we delivered. Today we're launching Tech Essentials, a new program that provides Canadians with a deeper understanding of how to safely and properly use today's technology. Tech Essentials provides information ranging from how to make smart and safe digital choices to resources for parents managing their child's online use.
Tech Essentials content can be accessed through your laptop or on your mobile device, and includes how-to videos that you'll want to check out. Here's one on Safe wireless habits for kids:
From roaming to billing, to choosing the best device for your needs, Tech Essentials covers the must-know subjects that are relevant to most Canadians. Since online safety is important to us here at Rogers, we're working with non-profit organizations MediaSmarts and the Canadian Centre for Child Protection to promote safe technology use through this program. We're also proud that the Tech Essentials site has been accredited by the independent organization Parent Tested Parent Approved.
Why not test your own Tech Essentials knowledge right here and now? Did you know:
… that roaming charges are applied to text messages? Neither did more than one quarter of Canadians (28%)
… that text messages are separate from data allotment. You're not alone: 82% of Canadians were unaware of this fact
… that your device's security settings and software determine how safe you are when using Wi-Fi to connect to the Internet? More than two-thirds (68%) of Canadians did not know or believe this fact.
How tech savvy are you? Take our online quiz at www.rogers.com/techessentials to find out!
UPDATE: January 21 2013, 9:40 am. You can access our Tech Essentials Communications Technology Savviness Survey Summary Report on Slideshare, for more information on our survey and its methodology.

Weekend Reading: CES 2013, more cool things you can do with your phone, and capturing people's tech obsessed moments
It's been an exciting week for technology with the CES wrapping up today – automatic cars, celebrity guest appearances, and keynote speeches from some of the industry's biggest executives. We not only point you to the top news destinations for CES, but keep you in the loop on the little things you may have overlooked this week as a result, including more things you can do with your smartphone, and a blogger who finds beauty in people's tech habits. Catch up in our latest Weekend Reading!
10 cool things you can do with your smartphone
In last week's Weekend Reading, we posted about Mashable uncovering 9 things you can do online. This week they took it a step further and explored 10 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do With Your Smartphone. If you enjoyed learning about cool things to do online last week, you'll dig these finds for your smartphone if you don't know about them already!
For instance, did you know your smartphone can act as a level for home renovations? Or be used as a remote starter for your car on those cold winter mornings? How about finding an app to monitor your heart rate and keep you on track with your New Year's fitness resolution? Your phone can do all these things and much more – but check out the other 7 in Mashable's full post here.
The Consumer Electronics Show 2013 (CES)
The International CES is the world's largest tradeshow for consumer technology with over 4 decades of successful events. Every year more than 2,500 exhibitors travel to Vegas to show off their latest innovations in 15 product categories.
This year saw keynotes from Panasonic, Samsung, and Salesforce to name a few, with a surprise visit even from a former US president! The official website gives all those who couldn't attend fantastic access to everything you missed, including news feeds, videos, trends, and updates. However, CNET has been covering the top stories as well with some great roundups for readers, including Top Tech at CES 2013, Big Booths of CES 2013, and their "Best Of" awards. Check out their full coverage here and share which story grabbed your attention in our comments below.
We never look up…
Admit it – you've been known to text and walk at the same time on occasion. But did you ever think someone would use this moment for art inspiration? That someone would find beauty in our tech-obsessed habits?
Mashable shone the spotlight this week on a blog that actually captures these moments and creates beautiful photography from them. "We Never Look Up" is a blog dedicated to documenting people and the "tech obsessed" phenomenon. Black and white photos occupy the blog, full of people on the move while gazing down at their devices. It's a unique concept, but one any tech lover can appreciate. Check it out and see if you've become an unsuspecting muse to the collection!

Weekend Reading: Holiday news roundup, AppHero, and discovering new things to do online
Happy New Year! Welcome to our first Weekend Reading edition of 2013.
We thought we'd kick 2013 off with a blog post that will get you caught up with everything that happened online while you were distracted by the holidays, help you find the perfect apps for your new iOS device, and show you 9 cool things you can do online. Get up to speed with this week's stories below.
What you missed in tech news over the holidays
First things first, let's get caught up with some of the biggest stories to emerge last week courtesy of The Next Web. In their roundup you can top tech stories you may have missed, including how many devices were activated on Christmas Day, what China made mandatory for all internet users, and Foursquare's new privacy policy.
As an added bonus, they've also included their picks for "Good Reads," "Useful Guides," and "Interesting Reads from Elsewhere."
Find the perfect apps for your new iOS device with AppHero
iPhone and iPads were undoubtedly one of the most in demand gifts this holiday season, and if you were lucky enough to get one, you're probably wondering where to begin.
One of the best things about Apple is their App Store – but with over 750,000 apps it can be a daunting task to figure out which ones you'd like to try. Our friends at The Cellular Guru found just the app to help with that though, aptly called "App Hero." By linking this free app with your Facebook and Twitter accounts, it pulls in info about your interests and gives you a customized list of apps that might interest you. Bonus: download the apps directly from the app instead of being taken to the App Store. Try it out on iTunes now and let us know if you found it handy too.
Betcha didn't know you could do these 9 things online
Most of us have the hang of the internet these days – it's become such a standard commodity we've even coined the phrase "Google it!" Yet Mashable still uncovered ways it can surprise us with some unlikely discoveries through their own "Googling."
Planning on popping the big question this year? Did you know you can figure out your girlfriend's ring size online? Fancy yourself a bit of a sleuth? Create your own police sketches thanks to another online tool. Always wished you'd gotten into MIT? The university offers free online physics courses. Check out what else Mashable found and share it with friends – were you already aware of some of these?

With so many UK hotties around, I am wondering if they will take over the american celebs on the internet. They all seem to have big boobs and whore looks that turn you on instantly. Chanelle Hayes does not excel in the boobs category, but we cannot see them, can we? What's the point in posing topless if you (dumb bitch) cover them?
I've also added a paparazi pic of Chanelle's ass cause it's worth it.

5 Burger Don'ts From Meat Master Pat LaFrieda, Jr.
by Sarah De Heer in Holidays, How-to, May 26th, 2012
Last year, we polled FN Dish readers: Burgers or hot dogs for Memorial Day weekend? While 44 percent said they would be indulging in both, 35 percent said they were all about the burger. To ensure you cook up tender and juicy burgers this upcoming long weekend, we asked the "Magician of Meat" Pat LaFrieda, Jr. to offer up some tips.
5 Things to Avoid Doing to Your Burger
• Never place your burger on a grill that is not preheated. Always make sure your grill is hot enough and ready to cook on before placing the burger down. Too often people turn on the grill and immediately place the meat down to start cooking — and the end result is never pretty. If the grill is preheated to the right temperature, you'll notice the difference.
• Never ever press down on your burger patty! That's one of the worst things you can do when cooking your burger on the grill. Juices will be released and you will end up with a dried-out version of what should be a delicious, tender and juicy burger.
• Avoid flipping the burger patty too often. There's a misconception that you need to flip the patty on the grill over and over again while cooking. You don't and you shouldn't. The best-tasting burgers result from just two flips on the grill to cook the meat through just enough — and to achieve those beautiful grill markings we all desire.
• Don't top it with everything under the sun. The star of the show on that grill is the meat, so let it speak for itself. When it comes to topping a burger, it's always best to keep it simple. A nice slice of cheese, tomato and some lettuce, and you're good to go.
• Don't close the grill hood. Make sure you keep the grill hood open. Closing the hood will overcook your burger; it's best to keep the hood up and open to allow the meat to remain moist and tender.

The problem is something which not enough people are speaking intelligently about. Now i'm very happy I came across this during my hunt for something regarding this.

Hello all, new member here There's MUCH to read around here
I will be obtaining my CPL shortly and would like to CC daily.
I'm curious about the subject of pocket carry, keep in mind this is with an XD Sub-Compact (trigger and grip safety).
Both my Carharrt Jacket inside pockets and Cargo pants pockets are large enough to carry the XD-SC and of course it's very concealed as well as comfortable, my concern is the unprotected trigger guard unlike what you get with a holster. Is this something to be concerned about? Of course using a holster combined with the cargo pocket is an option as well. I'm not a very big guy, 6', 170LBs so IWB carry probably wont be as comfortable/concealable for me as larger guys I'm assuming but I guess I don't know till I try it..
Thanks for any opinions/enlightenment

Current Time
Esperanza , Vieques
Puerto Rico
Tel: 787 741 1215
Concierge.com's insider take:
Ask for a dinner recommendation in Vieques, and chances are you'll hear El Quenepo come up again and again. With good reason. This restaurant on the main drag of sleepy Esperanza has a formal atmosphere with an arcade of wooden doors thrown open to sunset views of the malecón. Inside, it's all candlelight and white tablecloth romance. The menu reflects what was caught offshore or picked up at the markets that day: spiny lobster garnished with basil from the backyard garden, perhaps, or a grilled Caesar salad with romaine lettuce from a co-op farm on mainland Puerto Rico. The restaurant partners with local fishers and farmers—it doesn't get much fresher than that.—Colleen Clark

Being able to reach help in an emergency by calling 911 is something we take for granted and are taught to do from a young age.
Just last month, the B.C. Ambulance Service highlighted the importance of parents ensuring their young children know how to do this, providing the example of a call received by dispatchers from a four-year-old.
His mother had fainted and despite not knowing his address, the child reached to 911 and the paramedics reached the woman and took her to hospital.
"Such a simple scenario that could have gone so wrong," the press release said.
Knowing how to dial for grownups is a no-brainer but no one figures they won't be able to access help via 911 amid a crisis. That is what happened, however, to a Kamloops family of six on the weekend.
A fire that started on the exterior of their rental home quickly spread and those who tried to call 911 about it received messages stating circuits were busy.
"I just sat in the middle of my street watching my house burn . . ." said mother Shanna Little.
The family, which didn't have insurance, managed to save some sentimental possessions but feared everything else was lost due to smoke damage.
Eventually someone reached the local fire department directly and the fire was quickly under control, but the family deserves much better than being told there were "issues" with 911 that day.
When a person is in distress, he or she needs to know 911 is going to be there. The 911 emergency line has been functioning long enough that there should be no glitches to work out - especially when calls are often a matter of life and death. Numerous safety checks should exist to ensure a scenario like Saturday's doesn't happen.
The fact it did is disquieting - might someone else encounter the same circumstance? It raises the question, "Will 911 be there for me if I ever need to call?"
In order to restore public confidence, someone needs to instigate a thorough inquiry to get to the bottom of how this happened and learn what steps are in place to ensure it doesn't occur again.
The system failed this family in a big way. They deserve answers as well as a face-to-face apology as soon as possible.

Congress Woman Introduces Bill to Ban All Credit Default Swaps
Posted By admin On July 18, 2009 @ 4:08 am In Commentary | Comments Disabled
Washington's Blog [1]
Saturday, July 18, 2009
I'm a little late to this story, but last week Congresswoman Maxine Waters introduced a bill [2] to ban all credit default swaps.
As Waters said:
Preventing all credit-default swaps is essential to bringing stability to the market and preventing a similar crisis in the future.
Many top experts [3] – including nobel prize winning economists [4] and numerous other well-known PhD economists – agree.
Indeed, just today, Credit Sights published a report [5] documenting – as I have previously pointed out – that CDS drive companies into bankruptcy.
But aren't Obama's new regulation of CDS good enough?
I have repeatedly argued that they aren't.
But don't listen to me. Satyajit Das [6] is one of the world's top credit default swap experts. Yves Smith says [7] of Das:
Satyajit Das is a hard core derivatives expert, having worked with them in enough markets and enough vantage points to be very well versed . . .
This is Das' area, and if he says it's an issue, it is …
Today, Das wrote an essay [8] arguing that the new credit default swap regulations not only won't help stabilize the economy, they might actually help to destabilize it.
Indeed, the only people that are for CDS and the current half-baked regulations are the handful of giant banks that are making a killing from them. Everyone else is against them [9] (indeed, the economy is the thing "being killed").
Call your Congress member and demand he or she support Waters' bill to ban all credit default swaps.

As officers go door-to-door in a Southern California mountain community, they're aware they could be walking into a trap set by former Los Angeles police officer and Navy reservist Christopher Dorner -- who knows their tactics and strategies as well as they do.
More than 100 officers in glass-enclosed snow machines and armored personnel carriers have been looking for Dorner in Big Bear Lake, near where his burned-out pickup truck was found yesterday. Snow has been falling, possibly covering the trail of tracks that led away from the truck.
At the same time, heavily armed police are still deployed throughout California, Nevada, Arizona and northern Mexico, looking for Dorner.
He's suspected of going on a deadly rampage, vowing to go after those on the police force who he says caused him to be fired in 2008.
Police say officers are still guarding more than 40 targets mentioned in a rant that they say Dorner posted on Facebook.
Possible sightings of Dorner were reported near Barstow, near San Diego and in downtown Los Angeles. Some law enforcement officials are speculating that he is trying to make them spread out their resources.

Assistant Professor of Art Daniel Swartz illustrated an article in the April 2013 issue of Columbus Monthly magazine about fun and creative date locations in Columbus, Ohio. Swartz's illustrations, done in acrylic, highlighted a butchering class and a Latin dance class. He used the freelance job as an example for his students at Sterling College.
The Sterling College Department of Art and Design is adding a concentration in photography, available to students beginning in the fall semester of 2013. The new concentration focuses primarily on digital photography, but print photography will also be taught during the course work.
Wielding their paint brushes and swords, theatre professors, alumni and students led a variety of sessions for 140 students from 10 Kansas high schools during Sterling College's Theatre Workshop Day on Friday, March 1. The event ended with a special matinee performance of SC's spring production "Medea" which was attended by an additional 100 students from area high schools.
Over 40 students and teachers from Kansas high schools came to Sterling College to participate in art workshops on Friday, Feb. 15. The students attended three workshops of their choice covering concept art, photo transfer, costumed figure drawing and pointillism painting. Workshops were led by Assistant Professors of Art Hanna Kozlowski-Slone and Daniel Swartz and Sterling College students.

Cataclysm Press Event: Guild talents and currency scrapped
Guild leveling
Guilds will gain experience when their members participate in the following:
- rated battleground wins
- dungeon or raid boss kills
- completing quests
- unlocking guild achievements
Guild rewards
Rewards will be unlocked when guilds earn achievements. Once unlocked, guild members can purchase them with gold as long as they have the appropriate Guild Reputation. The original plan was that guild currency would be used to purchase rewards. The rewards will include:
- mounts with flags that display the guild tabard emblem
- heirlooms
- tabards
Guild reputation
You will gain reputation with your guild the same way you help the guild level. The reputation is per character and not account-wide. Gkicks and gquits do not wipe your reputation right away, just in case it was a joke. But it's not clear if there is a finite window where afterward the rep will be cleared.
Guild achievements
Guild achievements are by guild, not by member. So if all members that earned a guild achievement leave the guild, the guild will still retain the achievement. However, the members who earned it will be memorialized in the achievement when viewing it. Raid achievements don't have to be earned by groups made up of only guildies. But you have to have at least 7 guildies in 10-man achievements and 20 guildies in 25-man achievements. There will be realm firsts for guild achievements just like there are for individuals.
Guild UI
The Guild window is being completely overhauled. It will include upcoming events, the guild experience bar, your rep with the guild, latest guild news (generated by Blizzard) and stickies of major accomplishments (also generated by Blizzard). The roster will include professions next to member names. Clicking on them will show what recipes the member has and can be viewed whether the member is on or offline. Personally, I am hoping that the roster will no longer bug out when the guild is larger than 500 members, but there is no specific indication that this is the case.
Overall, it seems that the loss of the talents and currency doesn't affect the new guild system much at all. Guilds will still level, receive rewards and perks and gain achievements. The new system will still be great for raiding guilds as well as PvP-heavy guilds and the more casual ones.
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm will destroy Azeroth as we know it. Nothing will be the same. In WoW.com's Guide to Cataclysm, you can find out everything you need to know about WoW's third expansion. From goblins and worgens to mastery and guild changes, it's all there for your cataclysmic enjoyment.

Samsung ML-3561N review
Samsung's stylish ML-3561N stands out from our collection of beige, grey and black printers. Its clean lines aren't broken up by too many fussy details and the100-sheet multipurpose tray is disguised by a smooth panel at the front.
Setting up the printer involves dropping in a single consumable and removing a few bits of tape. A small piece of black plastic pinged off our test model during the process. We couldn't find where it came from, but the loss didn't seem to affect the printer's performance.
The Shopper test network uses DHCP to assign IP addresses, but the ML-3561N is set to use static addressing by default. Its control panel network menu is confusing, and we had to refer to the manual before we could enable DHCP. Because this step was necessary before we could install Samsung's software, we had to locate the PDF manual on the product CD. After the printer successfully leased a network address, Samsung's installer found it on our network. The typical installation didn't add a PostScript driver, which is available as a custom option.
The ML-3561N proved to be one of the fastest printers in our text tests and it produced the highest-quality output. Characters had razor-sharp outlines with no traces of spattered toner around the edge and remained very clear down to a tiny two-point font size.
Our mixed-colour test slowed down the ML-3561N considerably. Though the printer's graphical and photo results had excellent shading and detail, they had more light banding than those produced using other printers on test.
