House of Cards - Series - Theme Song Extended

If you like "Ides of March" movie, then you will love this series. I'm glad it was on Netflix and didn't appear on regular TV channels, otherwise they would have distorted the story. Kevin Spacey and others have done a remarkable job.

Plus it is an entire series, we can watch it without long months of delays. This show is based on a BBC series.

It is available in Netflix: http://goo.gl/osHja

If you like political shows, also watch Borgen (Denmark) one of the best series in the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borgen_(TV_series)

I don't really like political shows, we all know how despicable the politicians are except for a few,  but the above two are worth watching.

Best Can Opener - Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety Lid Lifter

Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety Lid Lifter

I bought this Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety Lid Lifter, it is a great product as advertised compared to other conventional can opener. This uses a different principle (as seen in the video) cuts the cans from the edge rather than from the top and cuts the tops smoothly without any sharp edges. The top part can even be used again if there are any leftovers by closing the top until the can is used again. Don't leave it long in the fridge however, we're supposed to use the contents right away once they're opened.

Main advantages are:

a) it is easier to clean, 
b) doesn't come in contact with the food, 
c) there are no sharp edges, so it is safer to use,
d) durable design,
e) prices ($14 to $16) are comparable to other can openers.

Initially, you will find it awkward cutting the cans this way but you will see after a few repetitions it does a great job.



There is another can opener from the same Swiss company, Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety Master Opener, which does more than opening the cans, it can open the bottles and other food containers as shown in the video below.

Weather Travel Fashion - a What to Wear Android app

Weather Travel Fashion (WTF) Android app (available for iOS also in iTunes link) works as advertised tells us exactly what clothes to wear (for both sexes) based on the current weather conditions. The app gives us different choices to choose from based on temperature, wind, UV and humidity conditions.

The Travel feature is not working now but the other main weather & fashion tabs are working fine. Nice app to have in Smartphones or Tablets.

Once you download the app, select the sex, boy or girl, the app does the rest.
