Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) is president now, which means he has to take a break from murder and manipulation to actually run the country.
For those who don’t remember, Frank convinced Senator Hector Mendoza to start a smear campaign against President Garrett Walker (because he and his wife had been to couples’ counseling) and persuaded a special prosecutor to implicate Walker in a scandal involving money laundering with a Chinese businessman. President Walker finally stepped down, making Frank Underwood POTUS.

As a Dad – our daily lives move at a pace that I’m at basketball, swimming or soccer practice – when I’m not in not in downtown Manhattan at work and spending lots of time commuting back and forth to Long Island.
I’ve recently received the Schick Hydro® 5 product. Since, I usually shave not only my beard, but also my head – I’m usually critical on the life of each blade. After 3 or 4 shaves, the lubricating strip would disintegrate therefore leaving the blade useless. Today was my 5th shave with the same blade and I am amazed that this shave is as close as the first! The Schick Hydro® blade is an absolutely amazing product.
Last weekend – the NBA All-Star game was held in New York City, talk about a buzz in our area. However, my family and friends were attending my daughter’s CYO All-Star basketball tournament. My daughter racked up 14points and 19 rebounds was named the Most Valuable Player. I would be lying if I said it wasn’t a proud moment as a parent – and equally emotional. As you can see – some of these moments were captured, shared and using the Studio App.
We’re no different than any family – we’re spread throughout the east and west coast, but being able to design these pictures / moments were exciting and fun.
We can all agree that technology has transformed how we all monitor our children but I’ve never seen anything on the market today that offers amazing “services” until the new Evoz Smart Parenting Monitor. Created by “dad-preneur” Avishai Shoham who was searching for a better monitoring solution, he developed a monitor that allows parents to watch their child from anywhere along with a parenting toolbox that let’s parents track their child’s sleep habits, sends cry alerts, tracks the room temperature, and even downloads to sleep coaches for expert advice. Shoham is now ready to launch his innovative idea on Indiegogo on February 16thhttp://evozbaby.com/indiegogo and you really need to check this out.
“With significant demand for the Evoz Smart Parenting Monitor, we wanted to provide parents who love sleek technology with an early opportunity to place an order through our initiative with Indiegogo,” says Avishai Shoham, founder and CEO of Evoz. “We also plan to use this campaign to identify our Top 50 Club, parents who will not only receive discounted products and perks but also will have critical input to Evoz management as we continue to innovate with additional products and services,” he adds.
To get started, parents simply download the free Evoz app to turn their smartphone and tablet into a monitor. From there they can watch their child, capture precious moments through snapshots and recorded video, play soothing lullabies, control the nightlight and even talk to their baby. And it’s so easy; everything can be activated with just one touch of a button.
The Evoz Smart Parenting Toolbox provides a suite of services including baby data logging and tracking, parenting content and even allows for scrapbooking. Special “cry alerts” notify parents via push, text message or e-mail when baby is unsettled in the crib, while collecting important sleep data such as how long they have been awake and crying. This allows parents to quickly and effectively address sleep issues. Furthermore, the device automatically monitors the baby’s room temperature and alerts parents when it is outside experts’ recommended room temperature.
Getting your child into a sleep routine can be difficult for parents (trust me I understand) but Evoz addresses these questions directly with parents! This is made possible through a unique partnership with Kim West, a.k.a. ‘The Sleep Lady’ who is a practicing child and family therapist for twenty years and is the creator of the “Gentle Sleep” method. West and her team of sleep coaches will personally review the data and provide advice, insight and tips on how to sooth your baby and help promote healthy sleep habits. What monitor company offers this?
“Monitoring sleep habits is critically important for parents as they struggle to ensure a safe and secure sleep environment,” notes Kim West. “With the data gathered in the Evoz monitor, the videos and content available and our team of professional sleep experts, parents can get personalized insight, information and support to successfully improve their baby’s sleep.”
Evoz Smart Parenting Monitor will be available in April online at www.evozbaby.com as well as at leading online retailers. Consumers can, however, get one of the first units through Indiegogo (http://evozbaby.com/indiegogo) in February.

Have you ever applied makeup in a dark room, and walked outside to find a line of bronzer down the side of your face? American women claim that the biggest challenge they face when applying make-up at home is not enough light – sounds like we found the problem! Swap out your bathroom lighting for Cree LED Bulbs, available at Home Depot, and see what you think of the difference.
But what is a Cree bulb anyway? Cree bulbs are “The Biggest Thing Since the Light Bulb,” LED bulbs that look and light like a classic light bulb, but provide all of the savings, energy efficiency, and product longevity that comes with being LED. To do this, Cree pioneered three different innovations: 4Flow Filament Design, LED Filament Tower Technology, and Spectral Notching Technology.
Cree‘s 4Flow Filament Design is to thank for the Cree Bulb’s similarity to a classic incandescent bulb in appearance and light. It combines cross-flow ventilation and clever optical design to recreate incandescent bulbs’ timeless appearance within a shatter-proof housing. It’s durable and affordable!
Cree LED Filament Tower Technology is designed to emulate the look and feel of an incandescent filament but provide all the benefits of LED technology, long life and efficiency. The design of the Cree LED Filament Tower provides a compact, and optically centered and balanced light source (like the tungsten filament in an incandescent bulb) to deliver the warm, all-around light you and your lamps and fixtures love. You can get cheaper, more durable and efficient LED light without having to sacrifice the warm lighting that’s a staple of incandescents!
In addition to being up to 79% more efficient and lasting 25 times longer than a typical incandescent, the Cree TW Series LED bulb produces true and natural light with a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 93. To make this possible, Cree developed a new way to bring TrueWhite™ light to LED bulbs.Cree Spectral Notching Technology takes advantage of Neodymium glass and other optical innovations to produce light that makes colors look like they should. See the difference in the food you eat, the clothes you wear and the appearance of your skin.
Cree Bulbs are the perfect addition to your home– you’ll be surprised to see how much you save by switching over to Cree LED! Try them out in 2015 and find out for yourself!
