'House of Cards' Season 2 Premiere Release Date On Netflix: 'Early 2014,' Reports Say
- Design & Trend Reporter , Design & Trend
- Sep, 04, 2013, 04:12 PM
The second season of "House of Cards" is midway through filming. But when will the second installment of the streaming-series hit Netflix?
Although the streaming television has not announced an official release date, many outlets, such as the Christian Post, report it should arrive "early in 2014."
"House of Cards" has gained widespread popularity since its release in February, even securing 14 Emmy Award nominations.
Even House Majority Whip, Kevin McCarthy, discussed the series. McCarthy explained that he had received a call from Kevin Spacey.
"I'll say about Spacey, I actually liked him - philosophically we're different - but do you know why? I believe if Spacey made 100 bucks a week acting he'd still act," Majority House Whip Kevin McCarthy said about Spacey.
Kevin Spacey received a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his role as Francis Underwood. As previously reported, the show was nominated for best drama, best actor, and best actress on Thursday morning as the candidates for the 65th awards were revealed. Stars Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright both received acting bids alongside big-screen actors.
"It's a very exciting time for the industry. Since we debuted, a lot of other organizations and streaming companies have announced that they're doing original content," Spacey said of the streaming series. "The more shows that are produced, the more writers are hired, producers are hired, actors are hired, directors are hired, it means the more people will get employed. It's better for the economy. It's a fantastic thing."

KIEV – Ukraine's acting president said Tuesday the country would not use its army to stop Crimea from seceding, the latest sign that a Russian annexation of the strategic peninsula may be imminent.
Oleksandr Turchinov's comments came after the Crimean parliament voted for independence ahead of a Sunday referendum on joining Russia, while Washington and Moscow locked horns in one of their fiercest clashes since the Cold War.
The interim leader said intervening on the southeastern Black Sea peninsula, where Kremlin-backed forces have seized de facto control, would leave Ukraine exposed on its eastern border, close to Russia.
"We cannot launch a military operation in Crimea, as we would expose the eastern border and Ukraine would not be protected," Turchinov told reporters.
Describing the secession vote as a "sham," he said: "What they call the referendum will not happen in Crimea but in the offices of the Kremlin."
World powers have repeatedly called for Moscow and Kiev to come together to seek a solution to the escalating crisis in Crimea, but Turchinov said Russia's leaders were refusing any dialogue with their Ukrainian counterparts.
"Unfortunately, for now Russia is rejecting a diplomatic solution to the conflict," he said.
"They are refusing all contact at foreign ministry and top government level," he added, as Western powers, led by Germany, continued to push for the creation of a contact group to avert full-fledged war.
Turchinov and his government's hold on the separatist region loosened still further when pro-Kremlin gunmen seized the air traffic control tower at Crimea's main international airport Tuesday and cancelled all flights except those to and from Moscow.
The latest escalation in the crisis also saw Moscow lash out at Washington for promising "illegal" financial assistance to Kiev's new leaders, who rose to power on the back of three months of deadly protests that toppled a Russia-friendly regime.
Undeterred, the European Union announced trade breaks worth 500 million euros ($690 million) Tuesday that could ease Ukraine's burden from restrictions that Russia has threatened in response to Kiev's tilt toward the West.
Crimea has been a tinderbox since Moscow's forces grabbed control of the peninsula — home to tsarist and Kremlin navies for nearly 250 years — as part of President Vladimir Putin's broader vow to "protect" ethnic Russians living in the southeastern swathes of the culturally fractured ex-Soviet state.
The region's self-declared rulers are now recruiting volunteers to fight Ukrainian soldiers, while the Russian government sent lawmakers a draft bill that would simplify the Kremlin's annexation of Crimea after Sunday's vote.
The deep historic divide in the nation of 46 million became ever more apparent as Ukraine's political crisis unfolded following the ousted leadership's rejection in November of a historic EU pact in favour of better relations with the Kremlin.
But the first region to take the radical step of breaking away from Ukraine was Crimea — a peninsula of 2 million people that had always enjoyed wide autonomy and was a part of Russia until being handed over as a symbolic "gift" to Kiev when it was still a part of the Soviet Union in 1954.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry meanwhile turned down a visit to Russia and a possible meeting with Putin in a diplomatic rebuff of immense proportions that enraged Kremlin officials.
The threat of Ukraine's imminent breakup has made the tensions and mistrust that always seem to cloud Russia-U.S. ties ever more explicit and potentially damaging for the two powers' long-term relationship.
The rifts were exposed yet again on Monday when Russian state television took the unusual step of airing details of a meeting between Putin and Sergei Lavrov in which the foreign minister complained of Kerry's rebuff.
The broadcast of the exchange appeared to be aimed at putting the pressure back on Washington and painting U.S. officials as unwilling to discuss their support for an interim team in Kiev that Putin says claimed power through "an illegitimate coup."
The U.S. State Department did little to relieve the tension by reporting that Kerry held telephone talks with Lavrov on Tuesday in which the Russian diplomat "stated positions that we heard" before.
It added that Washington wanted to keep the dialogue with Moscow as a matter of principle.
But "the environment has to be right and the goal must be to protect the immunity and sovereignty of Ukraine," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
The U.S. Congress demanded Tuesday that Russia immediately withdraw from Ukraine and urged U.S. President Barack Obama to impose punitive economic sanctions on Moscow.
The Senate expressed its support for Ukraine by passing strongly worded resolutions, using tough language against Russia and urging it be suspended from the Group of 8 world powers.
The non-binding resolution, passed by unanimous consent, called for targeted economic sanctions to "compel President Vladimir Putin to remove his armed forces from Ukrainian territory and return that territory to full Ukrainian sovereign control."
The measure also called on world football's governing body FIFA to reconsider its decision to hold the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The latest bitter and unusually public row came a day before Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk headed to the White House for a Wednesday meeting with Obama that should add credibility to his untested team.
Yatsenyuk will also use the chance to iron out the details of a $35 billion aid package he says his nation's teetering economy needs to stay afloat over the coming two years after being mismanaged by president Viktor Yanukovych — now living in self-imposed exile in Russia.
The White House said Obama would discuss an economic support package that has already seen Washington pledge more than $1 billion and the European Union pledge €11 billion ($15.25 billion) over two years.

There exists a certain type of incredibly sleazy male, the kind who has paleolithic attitudes about women that would embarrass the guy filming the Girls-Gone-Wild videos, but who at some point in his education, discovered that he got a complete pass on his repulsive personal antics as long as he professed a feminist political agenda. These men discovered that they can treat women like sex toys, demean them, and otherwise act like complete shits and, as long as they said the right things in public, their peers would actually make excuses for their behavior. This is not just limited to a certain recent president. We can find manifestations in the "liberal" attitudes of a publication such as Playboy. (Hell, the fact that Playboy counts as a liberal magazine pretty much defines the preceding thesis.)
Recently, Guy Cimbalo defined the genre of the misogynist liberal male by writing a heavily promoted article that was titled (wait for it) conservative women they'd like to "hate-fuck". Strangely enough, many folks did not seem to get the joke and Playboy promptly pulled the article. Apparently, Mr. Cimbalo's rape fantasies about Michelle Malkin were not the blogging gold the editors thought they were. But Google Cache has its uses, you hate-fucking asshat.
9 Responses to "Playboy invents PC term for rape"
Why not? Romance fiction has spend decades coming up with all sorts of euphamisms for rape as part of having the victim fall in love with her rapist. I did a paper on romance novels, and apparently getting raped by the love interest is fairly common in the genre.
Now, as to the rest of your piece..
First of all, playboy didn't invent the term, and chances are, neither did that writer. It's been around since at least 2003, as that's the oldest entry for it in the urban dictionary.
Secondly, it's not a synonym for rape. It refers to having sex with somebody you either hate personally, or with somebody you don't hate but for hate-related reasons – by way of example, a woman having sex with your brother to piss you off after you broke up with her. Yes, it's not an exclusively male pursuit… though I'm willing to bet men do it more often.
Hatefucking makes you an asshole, but not necessarily a rapist.
Did you seriously just complain about that there are people who insist that the term be used accurately!? Seriously, think about that… Also, it's not a nuance. Rape is a crime. Hatefucking, even though it displays a fairly repugnant callous disregard for the object of your "affections", isn't. The distiction is rather important.
Neither the idiot in question, nor playboy invented the term (or, at least not in this article). It doesn't mean rape. And, while it's not very important, it's also not remotely PC.
I have no objection to the guy being tarred and feathered. He crossed the line in a huge way. That article may very well quality as sexual harassment and if it does, I would rather like the appropriate laws to be enforced… This guy's a hatefull asshole, who crossed a whole lot of lines. I'm just saying use the term correctly, so that you're attacking him for what he actually did, and not a reinterpretation of what he did.
Neo-Liberalism is a mental disease. Conservative women are HOTter! But it's not hard to imagine the justified 'Liberal' outrage if say, Hustler Magazine ran a disgusting parody where Rush, Hannity, Beck, Savage and Ann Coulter gang-rape and tickle-torture Katie Couric, the PIAPS, and then Nancy Pelosi.
Imagine. The outrage would last for months in the MSM. There would be calls for firings and boycotts. NOW would be apoplectic. Poor little outraged, hypocritical Libs.
absurd thought –
God of the Universe says
joke about raping women
if they are conservative
EVIL freedom lovers…
absurd thought –
God of the Universe says
sex is the height of evil
so is photography
but not pornography
absurd thought –
God of the Universe says
always rape women…
who are conservative
they're just gender traitors
I'll give you that there's a category of people who will nitpick terms so as a way to find a loophole that lets the subject of the conversationoff the hook for whatever they have done.
Of course, you also have people who expand the defintiions of words in order to exagerate the subject's action and draw even more fire down on their head.
Both groups are the same people. They are playing the same game, in the same way, for the same reason, just from the opposite side of the fence.
And both are wrong.
I believe that if you feel strongly about something, that you should have enough respect for your own convictions to form your attack on, or defense of, that subject as accurately as possible.
But to each their own. I'm done.
[…] one think I'm suggesting that the idea of using offensively asinine statements that allege to support one's point of view while fatally … was in fact a monopolistic practice on the left side of the spectrum, I bring up a distressingly […]
Sorry, as one of those neo-liberals, I have to go with Steve. In this case Guy Cimbalo meant rape, but didn't want to use the word because he felt it was icky. The guy is a 'tard.
And while it may not be prosecutable, Daemon, your description of "hate-fuck" pretty much is a version of rape. Of using someone else, in a physical sex way, without regard to their feelings or desires. The only difference is the matter of consent.
But in this case, the author of the blog uses the word as a synonym for rape.
[…] Letterman doesn't read this blog, but it's ok, in his mind she was […]

The chef collapsed on Wednesday in the kitchen of Santi in Singapore, while giving Spanish food critics a tour of his newest restaurant.
He had just served up a plate of pan tumaca, the traditional appetizer of bread spread with olive oil, fresh tomato and shavings of Spanish ham.
He took a slice, and then invited the restaurant critic of Spanish news agency Efe to take a tour of the dining room with him.
"Everyone was delighted to be eating "pan tumaca" with Santi in the kitchen," said Cristino Alvarez, who had met the chef many times and considered him a friend. "Santi asked me if I was familiar with the dining room, I told him no and we headed there.
"As we were coming out of the kitchen, he said to me: 'I'm taking a turn for the worse,' and he collapsed," the food writer said.
The chef, who championed traditional Catalan recipes perfected with French cooking techniques, never regained consciousness despite efforts to resuscitate him and he was declared dead in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
French chef Guy Savoy who was also in Singapore to inaugurate the opening of Singapore's Marina Bay Sands resort paid tribute to his Catalan colleague.
"Santi loved to eat," said the chef, a pioneer of the "Nouvelle Cuisine" movement at his three-Michelin-starred Guy Savoy in Paris.
"He has left us way too early. But in its way, for him to leave us in his kitchen was a beautiful way for him to leave us."

CORPUS CHRISTI -"Caller times" — It wasn't a stretch for Sophie Garnier to open her own gourmet shop two years ago.
Years of friends and family asking her to cook for celebrations and gatherings made it an obvious step, she said.
Garnier and her husband, Laurent, plan next week to open their third store and second gourmet shop, Bonn A-Petit, 817 Everhart Road, Suite C, next to Anthony's Aveda Concept Salon on Everhart Road. The first two shops, Garnier Design and Garnier Gourmet Kitchen, are in Port Aransas.
Bonn A-Petit offers gourmet gadgets, dishware and prepared meals that can be heated at home. Garnier describes her new store as a gourmet convenience store.
"We prepare the food at our Port Aransas shop, vacuum seal it and freeze it for seven days," Garnier said. "Everything can be reheated in the microwave after defrosting. The packing helps seal in the flavor, prevents freezer burn and keeps the food fresh when you reheat it."
Items include tomato basil, broccoli and southwestern soups; lasagna, pastas, fried rice, shepherd's pie and quiches; and cakes, pies, baguettes and artisan breads, such as black olive and pecan/raisin. Entrees, which has two servings, average about $8.
After the success of their gourmet shop in Port Aransas, Garnier said it was time to enter the market in Corpus Christi, where she had some established clients. The spot on Everhart Road, near Staples Street, is in a good neighborhood, has great traffic and the salon next door offers word-of-mouth advertising, she said.
"I think the concept would appeal to working women in Corpus Christi who want to give their families a home-cooked meal but don't have the time to spend in the kitchen," she said. "These are meals which are healthier than store bought because we go the extra mile to keep the customers' needs in mind."
Garnier uses lean meat, free-range chicken when she can, turkey bacon, olive oil instead of margarine and gets as many ingredients as she can from an Alice farm. The family recipes come her mother and grandmother, she said.
"My mom was a chef in Austin and Houston and I learned how to can from my grandmother," Garnier said. "It's a lot of southern French cuisine but also some of my favorites."

Associated Press writer Glen Johnson's story on the indictment of a close friend of Salvatore DiMasi, Massachusetts's Democratic Speaker of the House, is the latest in a long line of fairly long stories about Democratic politicians in trouble that fails to identify their party affiliation.
The story names a half-dozen politicians, all of whom are Democrats, without identifying the party of any of them. No variation of the word "Democrat" appears anywhere.
Here are selected paragraphs from Johnson's story:
Allegations swirl around Mass. House speaker, as friend charged with lobbying violations
A close friend of the Massachusetts House speaker was charged Thursday with concealing work as a lobbyist while having direct contact with the speaker — the first formal charges tying the speaker to allegations he has used his office to help friends.
Richard Vitale, a former accountant for House Speaker Salvatore DiMasi, was paid $60,000 in lobbying fees by ticket brokers interested in changing the state's scalping laws, Attorney General Martha Coakley said. Without disclosing his lobbyist status, Vitale communicated directly with DiMasi and his top lieutenant, Speaker Pro Tempore Thomas Petrolati, before the House passed the bill last year — a violation of lobbying laws, she said.
While the bill, which lifted restrictions on price markups by ticket brokers, did not pass the state Senate and will expire early next month, Coakley said alleged efforts around it — including clandestine meetings, messages sent by courier and Vitale's use of DiMasi's private e-mail address — corrupted the legislative process.
..... The Speaker repayed an unusual $250,000 third mortgage he received from Vitale on his North End condominium after the loan was disclosed by The Boston Globe.
On Wednesday, the Globe reported that a federal grand jury is investigating the state's awarding of a $13 million computer software contract to Cognos ULC, a Burlington firm that made payments — some undisclosed — to friends of DiMasi.
Gov. Deval Patrick's administration ended up canceling the contract.
DiMasi also has denied wrongdoing in that case, but the set of allegations and steady stream of stories about them have created political problems for the speaker. Two of his lieutenants, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Robert DeLeo and House Majority Leader John Rogers, have been openly competing for support to succeed DiMasi should he step down.
The headline in the story as carried at AP's feed identifies Vitale as a "pal" of DiMasi.
Here is a list of the politicians not identified as Democrats:
- DiMasi
- Thomas Petrolati
- Attorney General Martha Coakley
- Robert DeLeo
- John Rogers
- Governor Deval Patrick
Because this story went out over the national wires (note that the opening link is from the Los Angeles Times), the argument that "everybody knows" that a Massachusetts politician whose party isn't identified is a Democrat doesn't, or shouldn't, fly.
The Bay State's most visible state politician i.e., the governor, was a Republican for 16 years (1991-2007) until Patrick took office. The most recent of them, Republican Mitt Romney, competed for the presidential nomination until early this year, and made some headlines during GOP nominee John McCain's campaign.
It was Johnson's responsibility to inform his readers somewhere, anywhere, in his story that he was writing about a Democrat in trouble. As is usually the case with AP writers, he failed.

Heavy metal and disinfectant resistance of Listeria monocytogenes from foods and food processing plants.
Ratani SS, Siletzky RM, Dutta V, Yildirim S, Osborne JA, Lin W, Hitchins AD, Ward TJ, Kathariou S
The persistence of Listeria monocytogenes in food processing plants and other ecosystems reflects its ability to adapt to numerous stresses. In this study, we investigated 138 isolates from foods and food processing plants for resistance to the quaternary ammonium disinfectant benzalkonium chloride (BC) and to heavy metals (cadmium and arsenic). We also determined the prevalence of distinct cadmium resistance determinants (cadA1, cadA2, and cadA3) among cadmium-resistant isolates. Most BC-resistant isolates were resistant to cadmium as well. Arsenic resistance was encountered primarily in serotype 4b and was an attribute of most isolates of the serotype 4b epidemic clonal group ECIa. Prevalence of the known cadmium resistance determinants was serotype associated: cadA1 was more common in isolates of serotypes 1/2a and 1/2b than 4b, while cadA2 was more common in those of serotype 4b. A subset (15/77 [19%]) of the cadmium-resistant isolates lacked the known cadmium resistance determinants. Most of these isolates were of serotype 4b and were also resistant to arsenic, suggesting novel determinants that may confer resistance to both cadmium and arsenic in these serotype 4b strains. The findings may reflect previously unrecognized components of the ecological history of different serotypes and clonal groups of L. monocytogenes, including exposures to heavy metals and disinfectants.

EagleBurgmann provides industrial seal technology that is used in industries including oil & gas, refinery, power, chemical, energy, food, paper, water and mining. For more information, visit www.eagleburgmann.com.
The task force also addressed the topic of heat resistance of the instrumentation used in supply systems pragmatically. In the past, frequent debates occurred regarding whether supply systems for high-temperature applications—for example, a 400 C approved pump—have to be equipped with special instrumentation for high temperatures. Now the temperature specification for the instrumentation has been limited to 100 C. If instruments with higher temperature limits are required in the future, the customer has to inform the seal vendor accordingly.
A Clearer Structure
The essential improvements, in addition to the technical supplements and updates, are the clear structures of the latest API regulation. The body of the text was tightened and structured appropriately, whereas technical details and background information were placed in the annexes. Some of the wording in individual chapters was revised to improve understanding.
The improved user friendliness is shown in Annex E, which addresses structured communication and data exchange between suppliers and customers. Descriptions that previously encompassed many pages in API 682 are now bundled into two compact checklists in the 4th Edition. The first list systematically describes what must be considered for inquiries and quotations. It specifies the data that needs to be provided and the additional information and documents with which it must be combined. For example, seal systems that deviate from standardized API solutions must be shown separately. Annex E is completed by a second checklist that shows in which order the documentation is necessary.
Apart from the numerous technical updates and improved user friendliness, one detail is visually the most striking innovation of this edition: all mechanical seals are equipped with red plugs in the supply connections of the seal gland upon delivery. Until the unit is installed, these plastic closures prevent the ingress of dirt in the seal. During operation, the connections are either assigned to pipelines, or the plastic plugs are replaced with enclosed metal plugs. An additional benefit is that the 4th Edition API seals are quickly identified by the red plugs. Editor's Note: This article was previously published in Upstream Pumping Solutions, July/August 2013.

Kyle Busch has a repuation as being a bit of a bad boy in the NASCAR world, and on Friday night, he further validate such notions. The fiery driver may have hit a new low, though, with his latest in-race antics. Busch and Ron Hornaday got tangled up during NASCAR Truck Series' World Casino 350K race at Texas Motor Speedway, and after the race went to a caution, Busch decided to settle things once and for all. Busch sped up to reach Hornaday who had pulled ahead, and then got into Hornaday's bumber. It didn't their, either, as Busch then...

Greensburg Salem girls wrap up challenging season
Even though the Greensburg Salem girls basketball team made its third consecutive trip to the WPIAL Class AAA playoffs under coach Janine Vertacnik, this journey proved to be the toughest.
The Golden Lions started the season without their best player — junior guard Claire Oberdorf, who returned before Christmas from ACL surgery. Vertacnik also missed the services of senior forward Kellie Hutchinson, who had a season-ending knee injury.
The lone healthy senior, Karly Mellinger, who averaged 18.8 points, helped the Golden Lions (9-14, 7-5) stay competitive until Oberdorf, who averaged 13.7 points and a team-high 7.5 rebounds, returned to form during the winter break layoff. The team started 4-3 even with the shorthanded roster.
But with the combination of a challenging schedule, Oberdorf's return and the lack of experienced players, the Golden Lions worked to find the same chemistry the program had in prior years.
"I think we met our expectations for what we lost due to graduation from last year's team. We lost three starters and Claire tore her ACL," Vertacnik said. "It was hard to set high expectations. We thought we were going to finish around 8-4 in section. At the end of the season, we finished 7-5."
Their goal was nearly met if not for a heart wrenching 49-48 loss at Uniontown on Jan. 23.
The Uniontown loss was the second game of a four-game losing streak in late January. The Golden Lions went 2-7 down the stretch, including a 54-38 loss to Kittanning in the WPIAL Class AAA preliminary round Feb. 15.
"We didn't shoot the ball well. When you don't shoot the ball well it puts more pressure on defense. We gave up more points on the defense than we are use to," Vertacnik said.
Vertacnik is hopeful the tough schedule and the challenges they faced will pay off in the long run for the players. Greensburg Salem faced WPIAL semifinalists Blackhawk, Hempfield, Greensburg Central Catholic and Penn-Trafford this season.
"It was an up and down season for us as a coaching staff. As a team, we fought and clawed. Pretty much everyone on our schedule outside of Laurel Highlands and some of those in our section made the playoffs," Vertacnik said. "We didn't play a pansy schedule."
In more than 20 seasons of coaching, Vertacnik is still learning how to become a better coach in trying times like the Golden Lions experienced this past season.
"Patience is a virtue. Also, you have to make sure you nurture the kids. At times, I think I overwhelmed them with things. I was trying to do some things," Vertacnik said. "But, I had to remind myself I have to go back to basics. No matter what you teach them, it boils down to foul shots and layups."
Even though the season just came to a close, Vertacnik and the Golden Lions can't wait to get back out on the court and get the sour taste out of their mouths after getting their first year of extended varsity experience.
"Over the summer it's on the girls to go out and shoot. We can teach them boxing out and rebounding but shooting is on their own. All positions will be open," Vertacnik said. "We will have nine lettermen hopefully returning next season. They will have to battle for spots since they're so close. The lineup could change every night until we see someone step up and put some positive games together."

Home re-sales highest since '09
WASHINGTON — Sales of previously occupied homes surpassed the 5 million mark in May — the first time in 3½ years.
The gain shows that the housing recovery is strengthening.
The National Association of Realtors said Thursday that home re-sales rose 4.2 percent in May to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.18 million, up from the April's 4.97 million.
Sales last exceeded 5 million in November 2009. During that month and October 2009, a home-buying tax credit briefly inflated the sales pace. Prior to that, sales had not been above 5 million since July 2007.
Although the sales pace is still below the 5.5 million considered consistent with healthy markets, it has risen nearly 13 percent in the past 12 months.
With a tight supply of homes on the market, the median sales price rose to $208,000 — the highest since July 2008.
"Housing is now the strongest part of the economy in growth terms," said Jim O'Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics.

If it is a set of acoustic guitar strings you're looking for, the huge variety available from Martin is sure to offer what you need. Most of these strings use classic bronze or phosphor-bronze construction, and the selection of gauges gives you plenty of options for feel, tone and specialty tunings. For educators or guitar professionals who need lots of spares on hand, Martin offers its most popular strings in packs of 3, 6 or even 12 to let you really stock up.
There's a lot to consider when picking out Martin strings, which is a good thing because it means more choice for you. Are you looking for the best durability? Try the Lifespan SP series, which have a coating that helps them last longer than typical strings. Do you want a set that's easier and more agile to fret, for complex play or learning? If so, the FX Flexible Core line is likely the way to go. They come in bronze, phosphor-bronze and silk-and-phosphor, each of which has its own characteristic feel and sound.
For instruments other than the guitar, Martin's strings are fewer but no less impressive. Take the M600 Standard Crystal Nylon Ukulele Strings, for instance. With these, Martin has improved on the typical nylon string by using a fluorocarbon material for better sound and longer life. Another good example of Martin's quality would be the V730 Medium Vega Banjo Strings, which are excellent all-around strings well-suited to every style of banjo playing.
As you look through the selection of Martin strings, one thing you'll notice is that the best part of all may be how affordable they are. It's not every day that you find a set of strings able to deliver such good results while fitting any budget. Martin definitely delivers, though, and you can't go wrong with the options found here.

Data and analytics are key in marketing and we are striving to bring more insight with SMS marketing than ever before.
Jamestown, NY (PRWEB) June 09, 2014
Slicktext.com, an industry innovator in SMS marketing has just released support for unique coupon codes in outbound text messages.
SMS marketing, more commonly known as text message marketing, is a stream of marketing / communication that allows businesses to market to their customers via opt-in text messages. Opt-in means that these messages are only sent to subscribers who have explicitly elected to receive them.
SlickText's unique coupon code support allows their customers to provide a unique code to every single subscriber when sending outbound campaigns. This new, more advanced feature enables marketers to track coupon redemption rates down to subscriber by subscriber level. With visibility into exactly who's using which coupons, companies can further tailor their marketing messages in efforts to increase effectiveness.
CEO Matt Baglia stated "This new feature is just another one spawned from a simple request from our customers." He continues on to mention that "Data and analytics are key in marketing and we are striving to bring more insight with SMS marketing than ever before."
SlickText will soon be releasing more documentation surrounding the unique coupon code support later this week at http://www.SlickText.com

News of Sen.

But Steve Forbes, CEO of Forbes Inc. and perennial GOP presidential candidate, celebrated Byrd's death, declaring that it was "good news" for those opposed to Wall Street reform:

Annie Sloan, painter and creator of Chalk Paint, was the guest last week on Post staff writer Jura Koncius's Home Front online chat. Here is an edited excerpt:
What's your favorite style of paint finish? Can you create a smooth finish?
I have no favorites, because it's just what gets me going at any one time. It might be that the furniture dictates something, or I see an image I want to use. Or a color combo inspires me. As to a smooth finish? Of course! You need to use a smooth flat brush. I also add a little water to the paint so it flows beautifully.
I am dying to try your Chalk Paint, and I have three of your books. I have an old secretary and an old china cabinet (both probably from the 1930s, so not precious antiques). I don't think I want to paint the whole piece. How do you think it would look to just paint the inside of the china cabinet and secretary?
Yes, why not? Just think of the color that would work with the wood color. If the wood is warm, maybe paint it in a cooler color, such as one of the blues or grays.
I would like to use Chalk Paint on an end table. After the table is painted, do I need to apply a wax finish or another type of finish? Or can I simply use the freshly painted table as is? I assume wax or another type of finish will protect the paint and give the table a more finished appearance.
You need to wax it to protect it and to give it a beautiful, mellow look. If you want it to be matte, then just rub the wax in and don't polish it. If you want it to be shiny, then leave it until the next day and then polish it for a beautiful shine.
I painted and waxed a piece months ago, doing some accents in Barcelona Orange Chalk Paint. It's terrific, but the orange is too much. Now I want to re-paint just the orange areas with Versailles, but it's been waxed. What do I need to do to that area? Sand it, or use mineral spirits?
Just repaint it! No need to apply mineral spirits — that will soften the wax and make it more difficult to paint over — so just get painting. Have you considered doing a wash over the Barcelona with Versailles? I think that would look terrific!
Can you suggest a color for a living and dining room combination? I have a large rug under the dining table that is a blue/yellow-cream color. Most of the furniture is dark wood, and I have a chocolate color leather sofa. How can I make this room look sophisticated and bright? What is a good neutral color to paint the walls?
Cream, blue and chocolate? I'd go for a wall in Aubusson Blue. I'd even wax it — a bit of a job but so sophisticated looking! I know that Aubusson is not a neutral but it would sort of look like it.
I have had difficulty getting the wax finish looking even and smooth on two dressers painted with Chalk Paint. They look somewhat blotchy. I'm wondering whether a buffing brush would be helpful?
How are you applying the wax? It's either too little or too much. Applying wax is like applying hand cream. You have to work it into your hands. I just released a wonderful wax brush that will really help make application easy as pie.
Since you have been painting for so long, what do you do to get out of a creative rut?
I go to an art gallery and see an exhibition. The last one I went to that gave me a real boost was a show in London for Paul Klee, whom I had admired for a very long time. His work re-sparked so many ideas. Not every show gets me going so much, but there's often a color combo or texture that inspires me.
I am painting lamp shades in my bedroom. Do I need to wax them?
What a terrific idea. I would paint them with the light on so you can see what the brush marks are doing. Then I would leave it and not wax. They will be lovely and matte.
What would you say the current interior and furniture colors are for a beach condo? We have one in the family that needs a facelift.
A great combo of Greek Blue, Antibes Green and then some Old White or Pure added. Greens and blues are the way to go.
How do you decide on the paint colors you create? Are there any new ones coming out soon?
They are all based on pigments and the colors of old and modern furniture paint. And yes, I am working on bringing Burgundy to North America soon. I have other colors up my sleeve, but they are staying there for now.

Doyle Brunson
|Texas Dolly
|Birth date:
|10th August, 1933
|Birth place:
|Longworh, Texas
|Plays at:
|Doyles Room
Doyle Brunson is one of the most legendary personalities in the world of poker. He began playing poker as a kid and after he graduated at Hardin-Simmons University, he got a job as a business machines salesman, but on his first day he was invited to play in a seven-card stud game and in under three hours of playing, he earned over a month's salary. After this he left the company and became professional poker player.
In his early poker career, Doyle Brunson played illegal games while traveling around in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. Those illegal games were usually run by criminals who were members of organized crime and Doyle Brunson has admitted having a gun pulled on him several times and was robbed and beaten. He also has admitted having seen totally three people die at a poker table. One was shot in the head while he sat right next to Doyle Brunson.
Later in his career he went to Las Vegas to play poker for a living and he played in the biggest poker games in the world and in the biggest tournaments as well. In a mixed game event in 2003 he won his ninth gold bracelet and in 2004 he won the Legends of Poker World Poker Tour.
Gifts to poker
Doyle Brunson has two Texas hold'em hands named after him. One is a ten and a two of any suits. This is because he won the No Limit Hold'em event at the WSOP two years in a row with them and completed a full house in 1976 and 1977. Another hand known as "Doyle Brunson" is the ace and queen of any suits because he tries to never plays this hand.
Another thing that makes him well-known among poker players i his writing. Doyle Brunson is the author of the "Poker bible" called "Super System" (1979) and its follower "Super System II" (2004) which is the same book but an updated revision.
Besides these gifts he also gave the world of poker a new player namely his son, Todd Brunson who has won a bracelet in Omaha Hi-Lo at the 2005 WSOP. He also gave poker his daugther, Pamela, who outlasted both Doyle and Todd in 2007 WSOP and 2009 WSOP.

Kylie Jenner Turns 15: Kardashian Gals Send Their Birthday Wishes (PHOTOS)
The youngest Jenner isn't so young anymore, as today is Kylie Jenner's 15th birthday!
Just shy of her Sweet 16, Kylie has certainly done a lot of growing up this year, going from a cute kid to a stunning model right before the world's eyes.
And her famous family has certainly noticed that their little girl is growing up, taking to their official blogs to wish the newly 15-year-old a happy birthday.
What did Kylie's family have to say on her b-day?
Kylie's oldest sister Kourtney Kardashian was quick to wish the birthday girl all the best on her special day.
"Happy birthday to Kylie, my little rock star sister!" Kourtney wrote on her blog.
"You are filled with so much fun and happiness but so nurturing and understanding at the same time.
"You have wisdom beyond your years and I'm proud to call you my sister. I love you madly. I hope all of your birthday wishes come true."
While sister Kim Kardashian said she would rather Kylie would stay young forever, she couldn't be happier with what kind of young woman Kylie is growing up to be.
"Happy 15th birthday to my stunning, silly, smart, talented, funny little sister, Kylie! I love you more than you know!!" Kim said, sharing her birthday message on her blog.
"You are growing up waaayyy too fast for my liking, but what an amazing and beautiful young lady you have turned into. We are all so proud of you and I can't wait to see what the future has in store."
Mom Kris Jenner totally agrees:
"I can't believe how fast you are growing up before my eyes.
"You are turning into such a beautiful and intelligent young woman and it makes me so incredibly proud watching you grow. I love you so much!! XOXO."
Khloe Kardashian's message was particularly touching, reveling how much of a role Khloe had in Kylie's life.
"WOW! I cannot believe my baby is 15 today. I feel like it was only yesterday that I was changing her diapers…" Khloe wrote.
"To my dearest Kylie — I am so proud of the beautiful, smart and hardworking young woman you've grown into. You are truly beautiful inside and out, and I am proud every single day to be your sister. I hope you have a perfect birthday — you deserve it! I LOVE YOU."
Of course last but not least, Kylie's almost twin Kendall Jenner, 16, wished her "best friend" the happiest day:
"Happy Birthday to my little sister and best friend!!!! You never fail to make me laugh and make my day brighter! Hope you have a great day sis! I love you so much."
Leave your own birthday wishes for Kylie in the comments section below.

The action takes place in broad daylight on an expensive boat in the middle of the harbor the guys are in sight of land and could probably be seen by other sea farers.

Realestate.co.nz's popular mobile 'house-hunting'
Realestate.co.nz's popular mobile 'house-hunting'
app now available on iPad
Auckland, 7 March 2014 – Realestate.co.nz's free 'house-hunting' app, which has been downloaded more than 200,000 times, is now available on iPad.
A new iPhone version of the popular app has also been released.
Realestate.co.nz Marketing Manager, Paul McKenzie, said making the app available on iPad, together with the new iPhone version, are two more steps by Realestate.co.nz towards making house hunting as easy as possible.
"Launched in November 2010 and now available on iPad, iPhone and Android devices, the app has changed the way people searched for and viewed properties," he said.
"Using the mobile device of their choice, the app enables house hunters to get a birds-eye view of any area in New Zealand, showing information about homes that are for sale or rent in the area around them," he said.
The iPad version of the app makes full use of an iPad screen enabling a map of an area to be searched at the same time as properties are being viewed.
McKenzie said "already more than 40% of all viewings of Realestate.co.nz sites are done via a mobile device and we expect this number to increase with the introduction on the iPad version of the app.
"Agents tell us that people are turning up to open homes guided by the app, and with a list of saved homes on the app that they are planning to check out," he said.
Faster and with added benefits making finding a new home easier and more enjoyable, Realestate.co.nz's mobile app has all the boxes ticked for New Zealanders searching for a new home, McKenzie said.
It has become an essential accessory for Kiwis searching for local properties for sale or rent, he said.

11710 Plaza America Drive
Suite 600
Reston, VA 20190
Dear Mr. Siegel,
On February 25 and 26, 2005, FDA conducted an inspection of your facility located at 324 Rodgers Boulevard, Honolulu, HI, which provides food and beverage service to various airlines at Honolulu Airport. The observations made during the inspection revealed that your facility is in violation of the Public Health Service Act and the Interstate Conveyance Sanitation regulations at Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1250 (21 CFR 1250). FDA's observations were listed on Form FDA 483, Inspectional Observations, a copy of which was provided to, and discussed with, Mr. Anthony L. Chun, Assistant General Manager and Ms. Kathy P. Magdaro, Production Supervisor, at the conclusion of the inspection.
During the inspection the following significant observations were noted:
1. Your firm failed to hold perishable food at or below 50°F, except when being prepared or kept hot for serving as required by 21 CFR 1250.27. Specifically observed were the following:
a) Cooked turkey placed in the refrigerator at 10:30 a.m. showed a temperature of 98°F at 2:50 p.m.
b) A second pan of cooked turkey placed in the refrigerator at 10:30 am. showed a temperature of 87° F at 2:55 p.m.
c) Cooked pork placed in the refrigerator at 10:00 a.m. showed a temperature of 87°F at 2:53 p.m.
2. Your firm failed to construct and maintain your facility to be free from flies and other vermin (21 CFR 1250.30). Specifically, a live cockroach was observed on a wall near the salad production area, and live flies were observed in all areas of the facility.

b) The [redacted] reach-in refrigerator had mold growing on the windows.
c) A pink slimy substance was dripping onto the conveyor at the "clean end" of the pot washing machine.
5. Your firm failed to maintain equipment in good repair as required by 21 CFR 1250.33(a). Specifically, the door to the.walk-in ice freezer was broken which exposed dirty insulation.

The list of inspectional observations, identified above, is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of the conditions observed at your facility. It is your responsibility to assure adherence with all requirements of the regulations.
Based on the inspectional findings, we are classifying your facility as "Provisional" for interstate carrier use for a period of thirty (30) days. A "Provisional" classification means that the facility may continue to operate; however, significant correction of violations must be made by the expiration date. On or about that date, a re-inspection of this facility will be conducted to assure that corrections meet FDA requirements. If significant corrections are not made by the time of the next inspection, this facility will be reclassified as "Use-Prohibited" for carrier use. Assignment of "Use-Prohibited" status for food service facilities means that food and beverages from this facility may not be used by interstate conveyances until the violations have been corrected and the facility has been reinspected by FDA.
You should notify this office in writing, within fifteen (15) working days of the receipt of this letter, of the specific steps that you have taken to prevent a recurrence of the cited deficiencies. Your response should include a discussion of any delays you foresee in achieving correction, and a deadline by which correction can be expected. Your response should be directed to:
Charles D. Hoffman, Compliance Officer
1431 Harbor Bay Parkway
Alameda, CA 94502-7070

Albracca (also spelled Albraca and Albrace) is a major city of Cathay in the Italian romantic epics Orlando innamorato by Matteo Maria Boiardo and Orlando furioso by Ludovico Ariosto. In the story it is the walled city and fortress where Angelica and the knights she has befriended make their stand when attacked by Agrican, emperor of Tartary.
Scholars have identified Albracca with Bukhara in modern Uzbekistan, in part because the siege of Albracca by Agrican described in the Orlando innamorato resembles the historic siege of Bukhara by Genghis Khan in 1220.

Grilled Szechwan Chicken with Hoisin Barbecue Sauce
Roasting a whole bird on the grill over indirect heat results in crackling crisp skin and moist tender meat. Toasting the peppercorns in a skillet adds a surprising depth of flavor.
- Servings: 4
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Szechwan peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
- One 4-pound chicken, rinsed and patted dry
- Vegetable oil, for the grill
- Hoisin Barbecue Sauce
- Grilled scallions and onion slices, for serving
How to make this recipe
In a small skillet, toast the Szechwan and black peppercorns over moderate heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
In a spice grinder, grind the peppercorns. Transfer to a bowl and mix with the salt, ginger, garlic and sesame oil until a coarse paste forms. Spread half of the paste under the chicken's skin and rub the remaining paste all over the skin. Tie the chicken's legs together with kitchen string.
Light a grill and set it up for indirect grilling. If using charcoal, when the fire is medium hot, rake the coals into two piles on opposite sides of the grill. Place a foil drip pan in the center of the grill. If using a gas grill, light the front and rear or outside burners.
Lightly brush the grate with vegetable oil. Set the chicken on the grill, breast side up, over the drip pan, away from the heat. Cover and grill until the skin is crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the inner thigh registers 165°, about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes before carving. Serve with the Hoisin Barbecue Sauce and the grilled scallions and onions.
Suggested Pairing
The forward fruit of a dry or an off-dry Riesling from Germany or New Zealand will accentuate the spices and provide a bright contrast to the sweet, smoky nuances in this dish.

They are being taught how to develop their hunting and survival skills so they can pass them on to their cubs.
The cubs will then be sent back to a reserve in China where it is hoped they will help to keep up the population of tigers in the wild.
In China there are only about 10-30 left in the wild and 60 in captivity.
One pair of the tigers sent to South Africa, Hope and Cathay, are now two years old and have been successfully hunting in a small enclosure.
They are to be moved to a larger area where they will have to work harder for their meals. They have been fitted with radio tracking devices so they can be monitored.
The other pair, Madonna and Tiger Woods, are a year old and are currently in the early stages of their "rewilding" programme.
So far the programme is only an experiment and might not work, but Li Quan of Save China's Tigers is hopeful.
She said: "The important thing is once the tiger learns the skills to hunt, it does not matter what kind of habitat, they can apply the skills. The most important thing for them to do is basically regain the skills that they have lost through captivity."

Dry Eyes
How to prevent: Blustery winds, the punishing glare, and dry air can leave eyes red and irritated. To protect them, wear sunglasses. Read labels and look for glasses that shield you from harmful UVA and UVB rays.
How to treat: Apply nonmedicated saline tears or nonmedicated eyedrops, such as GenTeal Mild Lubricant Eye Drops ($12.50 at drugstores). Reapply as often as necessary. Over-the-counter medicated eyedrops should be used sparingly, since prolonged use can cause a rebound of redness, says Susie Hahn, an ophthalmologist in Bayside, New York. If the skin around your eyes feels irritated, moisturize the area. "But avoid creams that contain alpha hydroxy acids, which can be irritating," says Fortson. Try Burt's Bees Radiance Eye Cream With Royal Jelly ($15, drugstore.com).
When to see a professional: If nonmedicated drops don't help after a week, make an appointment with a dermatologist or an allergist.
