You can watch it here:
3 Books Everyone Should Read - And They're All Quick Reads!/
Checking in at a total of 512 pages (that's the total for all 3 put together!) these books are the ones I recommend to everyone who has to work for a living.
So, yeah, pretty much everyone.
Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams
First up is the longest one, but at 272 pages you'll get through it in no time.
While most business books focus on theory, process, or selling, Peopleware shines the light on the real people doing with work, with all of their quirks, idiosyncrasies, and strengths. (I know, what a concept, right?)
Often referred to as a "project management" book, that label doesn't do it justice - the material is helpful to everyone looking to get the most out of, or just survive, the corporate environment. And for those of us who want more, you can use this information to improve your interactions with co-workers and clients.
This is one I re-read every year to keep the insights fresh in my mind. The humorous tone and real-life examples make this an enjoyable read.
How to Lie with Statistics
People love to toss around statistics, don't they? It makes what they say seem so much more credible. And maybe it's all true. But...
It is amazingly simple for people, intentionally or by mistake, to skew and twist statistics. It happens all the time, and can be the cause of bad decisions.
Let this book be your guide on what to watch out for, and avoid, when using statistics as part of your decision-making process.
The PC is Not a Typewriter/The Mac is Not a Typewriter
Come on, admit it, you either still double-space after periods when you type, or you know someone who does...
The PC is Not a Typewriter (and its Mac companion*) is a fast, fun, easy read that will help you make your written communication more professional and sophisticated. Yes, it references older technology, but the technical info isn't the important part here - it's the simple, clear information and inspiration for crafting of better writing. It covers punctuation, leading, special characters, kerning, fonts, justification, and so much more.
Read this, keep it nearby, refer to it often - your writing, and your readers, will thank you for it.
Frankly, these 96 page-long gems are the books I would give to everyone I meet, if I could.
*Why is there a PC and a MAC version? My guess is 1) for the technical references which I'm sure were helpful when it was released 2) to get the full audience - some PC people won't pick up something targeted at the MAC audience, and vise versa.
Some people might skip over these books because they were published "years ago" - but that would be a mistake. OK, sure, some of the examples they include may be a bit dated; however, the concepts and ideas are timeless. Give them a try, and I'm sure you'll agree!
Note: The book images are links to the Amazon.com page for that book. If you purchase the book from there, I will get a few pennies from Amazon that I'll use to support my book habit. But no pressure, get them from your favorite place!

Been looking for a good solution that would let you style your dropdowns using only CSS? Me too!
Take a look at this, it's an awesome solution:
Missing Bailey/
It's been over two years now, and I still miss Bailey every single day. I know I did the right thing letting her go, her body just couldn't take any more and there was nothing more we could do to help her. The tumors would continue to grow and spread, there would be more pain, the seizure would only increase - leaving her scared and confused. I know all of that, but it doesn't help the missing her.
She was a once-in-a-lifetime dog. I was lucky to have her around as long as I did.
Words Matter, Even If We Try To Believe Otherwise/
I always cringe when someone says "I won't let anything happen to you" - what an awful thing to say to someone. Can you image a life where nothing ever happened? Of course, that's not what they mean. What they are trying to say is that they won't let anything *bad* happen to you. Which may be unrealistic, but at least has good intentions.
But it's still not right; not when you speak or when when you write.
And then there's this one..."I could care less."
Yea, that one, sorry, the eye roll is not optional if you are going to insist on saying that one.
If you could care less, that can only mean that you care. So, saying that when you don't care is wrong. Just flat-out, 100%, wrong. If you don't care, then "I couldn't care less" is the phrase you are looking for.
Think This Doesn't Matter?
Sure, no one says anything about it to you. And maybe "you know what I meant" is true. But you should know that when you make these types of mistakes:
- it distracts from what you are saying
- it may cause misunderstandings
- it damages your credibility
Yes, that's right, I'm saying that people silently judge you for this. Maybe you're OK with that. But maybe you shouldn't be.

People love to focus on the "evils" of technology, but the positive side gets far too little attention.
Case in point: someone has come up with a brilliant way to use a 3D printer to create "cards" that allow a reader with vision issues to "see" the pictures that go along with the story. And that's just one use for this technology - the creators report that the solution has also been used for designing assistive devices like can openers, tactile diagrams, and fractal art.

Download ebook Casebook of Clinical Neuropsychology pdf
Joel E. Morgan, Ida Sue Baron, Joseph H. Ricker
Clinical cases represent a long-established tradition as a teaching vehicle in the clinical sciences, most prominently in medicine and psychology. Case studies provide the student with actual clinical material – data in the form of observations of the patient, examination/test data, relevant history, and related test results – all of which must be integrated into a diagnostic conclusion and ultimately provide the patient with appropriate recommendations. Critical to this educational/heuristic process is the opportunity for the reader to view the thought processes of the clinician that resulted in the conclusions and recommendations offered. With the science of the disorder as the foundation of this process, readers learn how the integration of multiple sources of data furthers critical thinking skills.

For National Coffee Day, Visit a Coffee Mecca
Seattle may be the unofficial coffee capital of the U.S., not to mention a world center for coffee roasting and coffee supply chain management.
This is where Starbucks is headquartered, sure. But did you know that in Seattle, residents consume more coffee than in any other American city?
Naturally, you should come to Seattle to taste the city's favorite drink on September 29th - National Coffee Day.
Try a Coffee Shop Hop for Things to Do in Seattle
The nationally recognized day for a cup of joe is the perfect time to visit Seattle and discover its famous coffee scene.
A coffee shop dots almost every block, with a whopping 35 shops per 100,000 people. Starbucks itself is the largest retailer. Founded in Pike Place Market in 1971, its business has since exploded.
Starbucks isn't the only option, though it's worth your time to hop over to the original Pike Place location. Other wonderful spots include Lake Café & Lounge, Voxx Coffee, Café Umbria, Motofish, and many more. Try one or try them all!
Meanwhile, plan your coffee pilgrimage in advance to make the most of great hotel deals, such as Bellevue Hilton's advance purchase rates. It's only a short jaunt from Bellevue to Seattle, which perfectly places you to experience the city and its rich coffee history.
How to Get Free Coffee on Coffee Day
In fact, in honor of Coffee Day, from September 26-29, Hilton Bellevue is handing out one free coffee vouchers per adult at check-in, good for a drink at the in-house coffee bar. We serve up high-quality Starbucks coffee in our hotel's atrium, which is a great location to relax and sip some gourmet coffee, meet friends for a chat, or bring your mobile device to connect to our complimentary wireless Internet.
Get your coffee and a great stay rolled into one when you come and enjoy our accommodations at Bellevue Hilton.

What is the issue?GPS has forever transformed the art of navigation, but there are sublties of expressing a position that need to be understood. There are three different GPS conventions for describing a waypoint, it is imperative for accuracy of position that you understand which convention you are using aboard and format of information you are being provided from external sources.
Why address this?Accuracy of position is an important discipline when it comes to staying off rocks.
How to address this?Be aware of the expressions of position, standardise on the maritime approach and have a feel for the distances involved.
Here are the three conventions:
1. degrees, minutes and seconds (d m s)
2. degrees, minutes and decimal minutes (d m.m)
3. degrees, decimal degrees (d.d)
The maritime convention for expressing a position is degrees, minutes and decimal minutes (d m.m). You should select this as your standard.
Most GPS offer a choice of Lat/Lon expressions you should check the one your GPS is set up for and set your preference.
When navigating check what standard is being utilised when utilising external data sources. It should be clear in the way it is expressed. Please be particularly careful when working with charts as charts vary and can often use degrees, minutes and seconds (d m s). So if taking positions from charts you will need to convert it.
How to convert seconds into decimal
To convert seconds into decimal minutes, divide the seconds by 60. For instance if you have 52 deg. 38 min 17 sec. N converts to a GPS expression of 52 38.283 (devide the 17 by 60 to get 0.283 minute). Most GPS express degrees of latitude in only two digits as the highest latitude you can have is 90 degrees. Incidentally an easy way to remember that the horizontal lines on a nautical chart are parallels of latitude is to remember this ''Lat is Flat''.
How to convert decimal minutes into seconds
To convert decimal minutes into seconds simply multiply the fraction of a minute by 60. 52 38.283 then becomes 52 deg. 38 min 17 sec again (well not perfectly so if you multiply .283 by 60 you actually get 16.98, this slight difference is a result of having only three digits to work with so some of the detail is lost in the first conversion, however it rounds to 17 seconds).
How to convert degrees, minutes and seconds into decimal degrees.
To convert degrees, minutes and seconds to decimal degrees, you divide minutes by 60, seconds by 3600, add to the degrees (degrees + minutes/60 + seconds/3600). Latitudes run from -90.00 degrees at the South pole to 90.0 degrees at the North pole. Longitudes run from -180.00 degrees to 180.00 degrees. West longitudes (locations West of the Greenwich meridian) are positive while East longitudes (locations East of the Greenwich meridian) are negative. Decimal degrees are not used very often in a maritime context; it is mostly for land based positions or in a computing context.
Scale and decimal minutes
Finally GPS accuracy can be very precise. Most people use degrees, minutes and three decimals of a minute which is very detailed. It is worthwhile to make these figures real so you can have a feel for that level of detail.
If we leave aside longitude, as the further from the equator you travel the shorter they become, and use latitude the most a minute can be is a nautical mile. There are 6,076 feet in a nautical mile. So in short the first digit, after the decimal is a tenth representing = 607 feet. The next digit is one hundredth = 60 feet and the third digit a thousand = 6 feet. So the three digit level of precision is extreme.

Picture: Victoria Beckham 2012 Vanity Fair Oscar Party at Sunset Tower Hotel - Arrivals West Hollywood, California - 26.02.12
Victoria Beckham was seen out with her friends Eva Longoria and Kate Beckinsale once again; this time, though, it was to celebrate the Desperate Housewives star's thirty seventh birthday.
Throughout the day, Longoria received birthday messages from fans around the world. The actress tweeted a birthday message of her own to singer and producer Will.I.AM: 'I love sharing a birthday with my good friend iamwill Happy Birthday Will!!' Later on, she tweeted: 'Sorry for all the tweets today! I'm just overwhelmed with the beautiful messages from all over the world! Thank u so much! Luv u tweeples! . My house is a flower shop! I'm overwhelmed with happiness today! Thank U everybody!' That evening, she went to Cecconi's Restaurant in Los Angeles, accompanied by the fashion designer and the Underworld actress. While Longoria and Beckinsale appeared to be sharing a joke together, Beckham walked on ahead of her friends, shielding her face from the photographers and wearing her trademark pout. She also wore a little black dress - that was similar in style to Longoria's - and tottering heels, as did the birthday girl.

Owned since new?
Owned for how long?
1 year(s)
Buy this make again?
Price and equipment10.0/10
15990 drive away in most places - haggling got me free metallic paint and floor mats etc. unbeatable for the equipment level. More expensive cars in this class had much less equipment or even less doors.
Under the bonnet8.0/10
1.2 Renault engine hums like mad - a little noisy for some but quite manageable. Keep it humming and you will have loads of fun.
How it drives10.0/10
Lotus tunes drive train handles like a go kart on steroids. Will out corner cars 4 times it's size and 5 times its engine capacity. Reaches freeway speed with 2 gears to spare and huge grin factor.
Comfort and practicality6.0/10
Seats might be a little narrow for some larger folk but nice cloth trim and adequate leg room. Enough boot space for the average shop and flat folding seats a big plus. Fuel light comes on with 28 litres expended from a total of 40. Annoyingly early but manageable if you know your economy.
Servicing and running costs4.0/10
Average service costs but two black marks are the costs charged by the dealer for 'genuine' Proton H7 headlight bulbs and of all things TYRES (Goodyear Eagle NCT 175/50 R15) are not available anywhere except from Proton.
Aesthetics and styling6.0/10
Front end might be a little boxy for some but overall a sexy little hatch with a sporty interior that will appeal for different reasons to both sexes.
Safety and security6.0/10
Dual airbags, central locking, electronic brake force Distribution, and anti lock brakes as standard make driving hard child's play. Proton needs to address ongoing poor quality in central locking servos.
Quality and reliability4.0/10
150% reliable - Quality is still an issue with common faults including central locking failure, remote keys chewing batteries, consistent fit of trim and mould marks on bonnet apron panels. For the money still an excellent proposition though.

Back to School Cleaning
De-cluttering and organizing for the new school year
Back to school is an exciting time for parents, kids and college students. Parents get more quiet time around the house, kids get new clothes and school supplies, college students get to spend all their money on books and pizza.
Entering a new school year can cause lots of anxiety for most; if you want to enter a new year with a clear and anxiety free mind the best way to do so is by de-cluttering and organizing your room.
De-cluttering and Organizing:
A cluttered and unorganized room makes a cluttered mind. When the space around you is cluttered it's hard to concentrate and keep your anxiety at a healthy level. When a space is cluttered your mind sub- consciously feels out of control; when your mind gets into that mindset instead of focusing on school work your mind focuses on all the clutter around you.
Here are some great steps to de-clutter and organize your room.
1 – Put every item that's not in the right place or on the floor in one gigantic pile on your bed.
2 – Get out your laundry basket and put all of your clean clothes into one pile (then hang and fold your clean clothing) and all of your dirty clothing into the basket.
3 – Put the dirty clothing in the wash; multitasking will save you time and energy.
4 – Then organize your desk, make sure all your pens, papers, and pencils are in an organized and reachable place.
5 – Vacuum and/or sweep and mop your floor. A clean floor will prevent bugs and bad smells to develop in your room.
6 – Start to put and organize everything you still want or need in the right place.
7 – Put everything you no longer have use for in trash or donation bags and dispose of them later.
8 – At this point your laundry should be finished. Put all of your laundry away immediately. If you don't it will just sit in your desk chair.
If you're looking for a cleaning service that covers more than just one room, White Gloves Kleaning is the principle cleaning service choice from floor to ceiling cleaning.
No Joy Working in a Dirty Office
A Messy Houston Office and a Filthy Houston Office
A good Houston office cleaning service is the difference.
After a crazy day, an office can resemble a warzone to a janitorial service. But the subtle, often unnoticed, techniques they employ can prevent this.
A professional cleaning service can mold a workplace so that it is fit to handle even the hardest working Houston employees.
Vacuums and towels
A commercial cleaning service knows to use microfiber towels and a vacuum throughout every session, even if there isn't much dust. Regular application prevents large clumps and bunnies from forming over time.
Fridges and sinks
The same attitude works for the break room. Most Houston office cleaning services know to regularly wipe refrigerators and sinks down, even if they are not that grimy yet. This eliminates the buildup of odor and mold.
Companies that go the extra mile like this are interested in maximizing your offices cleanliness.
White Gloves Kleaning Services is one of those companies. As one of the most affordable cleaning services in Houston, we boast a trained, expert staff that can handle any project.

Application areas
Converting machine learning principles and theories to technology to make it useful in real-life is challenging. Our faculty hosts world-class researchers in applied machine learning, who bridge the gap between theory and practice. In a nutshell, our applied machine learning researchers are working on problems in the following areas:
Computational Biology
Many devices used in biological research, such as sequencing machines and X-ray crystallography, generate large quantities of data. The need to effectively interpret this data has resulted to a highly interdisciplinary research area called computational biology. Our researchers work on various problems in this area using machine learning techniques, including protein structural biology, RNA and RNA-RNA secondary structure prediction, and computational cancer genomics.
Information Retrieval (IR) and Web Mining
The Web provides an enormous source of data that can be mined for many different purposes. Examples of our work in this area include:
- technology for personalising the retrieval of web content using hierarchical Bayesian models;
- the analysis of social network data (such as Twitter feeds) for identifying trends and making predictions; and
- improving the recommendation of content (such as movies and music) to users based on their individual interests.
Medical Informatics
Analysis of medical records. Researchers from the Faculty of Information Technology (FIT) and the Alfred Hospital are applying advanced data analytics to administrative and clinical data to augment administrative records. Currently, much clinical information, such as the medical diagnoses, are not captured, making it impossible to determine the varying rates of different medical conditions. Advanced data analytics make it possible to infer diagnoses from clinical treatment, allowing records to be enriched with this missing information. To this end we are developing new technologies and approaches to the data enrichment problem.
Surgical process modelling. More than half a million surgeries are performed every day worldwide, which makes surgery one of the most important component of global health care. Competing demands are motivating a better understanding of surgical processes: the number of patients is continuously growing, surgical procedures are getting more complex, residents now have to be trained while performing less procedures, the surgical interventions have to be more and more justified and the procedures have to cost less money. A better understanding of surgical practice is one of the key components to addressing these issues. Identifying the characteristics of surgical procedures and analysing surgical behaviours is critical to improving health care. We are working in collaboration with the French Institute for Health and Medical Research (INSERM) on this topic, in order to provide support and automated decision pre-, peri- and post-surgery.
Monitoring and assistance systems
Systems that help elderly people remain safely in their homes, where the system learns a resident's patterns of behaviour from sensor observations, and issues alerts to the resident or off-site carers.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Text Mining
Language technology is the enabling component of many text-based computerized technology. Particularly, we are working on:
- core NLP problems and enabling technologies, e.g. computational semantics and statistical parsing;
- machine translation where a computer program 'automatically' learns how to translate from one language to another language based on examples translations;
- large scale probabilistic models (eg graphical models and non-parametric Bayesian models) for text processing;
- cross-lingual sentiment analysis and document classification; and
- dialogue systems: this includes computational semantics and speech processing.
Time-Series Analysis/Classification
Many kinds of data describe temporal processes. These processes may be either stationary, with the data being generated independently and identically distributed (i.i.d.), or non-stationary, with the processes generating the data themselves changing over time. We are interested in both kinds of time series and the data mining of models for them; some of the early MML work was on time series. There are many kinds of models that may be learned to represent these processes. Our research includes:
- Inference of segmented models, i.e., cut points for a sequence of models, for binomial and other kinds of data
- Inference of dynamic Bayesian networks, with repeating static networks (stationary time series) and with varying static networks (non-stationary time series)
- Classification of time series
- Analysis of spatio-temporal series, such as the analysis of series of images (in particular sensed from satellites)

Sending truth to debunk the messageboard rumors: skateboardfacts.com will be here in April! Read on.
So It all sparked on one December night When Danny Way called me out of the blue and told me about how there is a need for a site that is 100 percent truth in the world of skateboarding. That there is too much tabloid news in skateboarding and not enough CNN or New York Times. I agreed and Danny told me the name of his master plan www.skateboardfacts.com We spent the next hour brain storming the lay out and how it should be and below me is what we both came up with.
Synopsis of The skateboard facts Site.
Our mission is to deliver the pinnacle of truth no matter how convoluted, amazing, or simple it may be. We are going to deliver and personify true journalism in a land of forked tongue and myth-filled lies known as the internet. We will act as a beacon of light to bring the truth.
We wish to reach this goal by not burning any bridges and not being trapped alone on any islands of hate. We need as many sources as we can get to keep the site current and to extinguish any gossip or misinformation that can spread like a flesh-eating bacteria through the web. Our main focus here is to educate skaters of every genre about where skateboarding has been ,where it is now, and where it is going to go. We aim to eventually have an archive base from a to z of every pro and am skater that has ever lived, with a short bio and photos.
Thank you for checking out skateboard facts .com sincerely, Nate Sherwood and The skateboard facts syndicate
Anyway the star is now born and we are set to launch in April. Just like any new stars in the solar system we will need matter to build and feed off of so we can keep burning and keep the planets around us spinning . We are going to do pod casts as well that will be viewed and read on www.ignition.tv with all sorts of other confidential data that will be able to be subscribed to.

I took my first round of taxol/casplatin today. Back the next three days for fluids and anti-nausea meds. (first recurrence) Last year I had taxol/carbo/avastin.
It's only 6:30. Is it too early to go to bed? :) It gets dark around 8:15 now. I think I will probably be in bed very early tonight, at least based on how I feel now.
Aug 07, 2012 - 9:42 pm
So glad you got the first one behind you. I hope and pray the next five go smoothly, with little side effects.
Aug 07, 2012 - 11:40 pm
Yeah! So glad you have the fiRst one done. I also was supposed to go back for fluids 2 days post chemo round. However I dicsovered I could have the hoitals's home health bring the bags of saline to me on the last day of the round to the infusion center for me.
Hoping this cisplatin kicks tail and feathers off of cancer of you!
Aug 08, 2012 - 8:34 am
So glad you got the first out of the way. Cisplatin depletes your fluids QUICKLY so make sure you drink alot. I ended up passed out on my kitchen floor after my first treatment and that was after they gave me 2 liters of fluid. Going in for fluids was day two of my cycle.
Just keep your eye on the end. Did your doc give you pain pills for the joint pain you will start getting once you get into treatments? If you are not against it ask. Another hint I read on the breast cancer board after I was done but you may wanna try. There is a vitamin out there called L-glutemine. My doc had me on it at the end for neuropathy but I read on the board that someones doc told them to take it during to relieve the pain. She said she started taking the vitamin that day and had barely any pain. Anything is worth a try. Ask your doc about it if you would like.
Also the heating pad was my best friend during that time. Helped so much. Fluids, fluids, fluids. If you get sick of water - drink anything decaffinated. My husband bought a bunch of crystal light water flavors and that new stuff called mio.... For as long as I live I don't think I will ever drink purple gatorade again.... Lived on that too.
Aug 09, 2012 - 8:58 pm
I used Glutamine for muscle aches which occurred 4-5 days after Taxol/Carbo. I didn't know about it until my 3rd chemo session when the nurse said that some of her patients tried Glutamine. So we bought the powder and mixed 1Tbs with a 8oz juice 3X/day for the three days post chemo, and what a difference!
Aug 08, 2012 - 9:06 pm
Keep counting... pretty soon you'll be down to zero!!Kim

Surviving The Unexpected
Life sometimes throws up unique challenges and that too at unexpected times. There have been many situations faced by people where they are in a situation that was totally unexpected and exactly the opposite of fun.
For example what you might have imagined as a good hiking or trekking could turn out to be a nightmare. Especially when you are going in a forest area say without a person who has goo knowledge and experience of that area, then a wrong turn might make you forget the way back. Losing your way in a remote location is certainly a nightmare and in order to survive such situations, one may not be prepared when they started for the trip. Thus it is important to have some items that are handy. There are some tools that qualify as a Good outdoor survival tool; some of them are given below
Swiss Army Knife: A Swiss Army knife is very handy and can easily fit into your pockets or small carry bags; it has many sharp accessories that can be used when the need arises. No one knows what sorts of dangers are lurking and hence it is better to have some sharp handy object.
Flashlight: A flashlight is also small in size to carry easily and when you are in the dark it really helps to find things and also if someone is coming in search of you then it would be good to attract attention to you.
Lighter: Whether you maybe a smoker or not, it is better to carry a lighter, especially if you are stuck somewhere in the jungle or if you are in a cold place. It could be used to light a fire to scare animals as well as to keep you warm and also the smoke would attract the attention of the search party.
Thus have some handy tools who knows what surprises life would throw.…

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Well hello, I'm JLP_21. Don't search me up, I'm not that great. But Kayle has been my main and I love playing this great champion. She's a unique champion that is on-hit attack speed AP. And besides Teemo, Kayle seems very underrated considering she's 450.
I've took pride that seeing someone playing Kayle was rare and took pride that I played her a lot. But this season Kayle's popularity has been rising and people discovering how OP she is.
Why Go AD Kayle
Kayle is, of course, weaker if she goes AD. But this season buffed her items making her stronger than last season. It's mainly because for me for counter building. She does best at top for her shredding and range, plus the sustainability. If you're up against a tank they'll build Magic Resist and you'll end up building Attack Damage. It's kinda trolly but AD Kayle still proves to be strong.
Just give it a try to my build either counter building or ADC.
Play Teemo I insist...
Teemo and Kayle have similar abilities and are both top laners. Their q are a locked on target scaling on ap. Their w give them more movement speed. Their e enhances their basic attacks and do magic damage. and they're both ranged. Plus they build nashors. From playing Kayle to Teemo is a really easy transition. (Teemo requires more skill) They're both really fun champs that I love.
(I drew that picture, I would ship them >:) )
Right now Kayle has a good win rate and has potentials in outdueling many. This is just a simple build I have. I would like some respectful feedback if you do want to comment this build. But thanks for anyone that has read this and perhaps you might give this a try? Well hope this may help and I hope I didn't waste you time :D

Revamping your staircase
With Spring quickly approaching you may well be looking for ideas to give your home a fresh new look, but without spending a fortune. Therefore why not consider giving your staircase a re-design? The staircase is often a central feature in a house, and giving it a brand new look could completely transform the appearance of an entrance or hallway.
Is laminate flooring suitable for staircases?
The most popular choice of flooring for staircases tends to be carpet due to the added comfort that it provides underfoot, and also as it provides more grip to reduce the likelihood of slips and trips. There is, however, plenty of choice when it comes to picking a flooring type for your stairs, with laminate being another very viable option.
One of the benefits of laminate flooring for a staircase is that it gives a clean, modern appearance and meanwhile can be easily cleaned and cared for. It is tough and durable and can withstand heavy footfall, without causing damage to the surface.
Laminate is available in a wide range of colours, finishes and styles and therefore there is something to suit every interior taste. For stairway use, we suggest a matte, textured finish for maximum safety and to minimise slippage.
Fitting laminate on your staircase: Top Tips
Laminate can be fitted to a staircase in many different ways and we would always recommend consulting a professional fitter for advice on the best way to achieve your desired look. If, however, you decide to fit the flooring yourself and are confident to do so, here are some tips to help you in the process:
1. Know the basics. Getting to know the basic make-up of a staircase can be a big advantage before you start installing your laminate flooring. Here is a list of the basic components that you should know:
- The TREAD: This is the horizontal part of the stair that you step upon.
- The RISER: This is the vertical part of the stair that rises from the tread up to the next step.
- The STRINGER: This is the board that is on the stair wall and which runs up the length of the staircase.
- The STAIR NOSE: This is a safe way to finish your laminate flooring on your staircase, by hiding the edges of the wood flooring, where the two wood floors meet.
3. Allow the laminate to acclimate before installing. Laminate flooring generally needs time to adjust to the temperature and humidity of the room before it is installed. This prevents any warping, expanding or contracting of the boards at a later stage. Once you get your laminate home, remove the boards from their packaging and pile them up in an open space where they can get plenty of air. Leave them here for 48 hours before you start installation.
2. Start at the top of the stairs. The best and safest way to install your laminate flooring is to start right at the top of the stairs and make your way down. This way, you avoid standing on the freshly installed flooring and you won't be trapped upstairs once you have finished.
3. Remove any overhang. Your stairs may well have a pre-existing overhang: this is when the underside of the stair nose on the upper steps is visible from the bottom of the staircase. You will need to remove this before you can lay your new laminate flooring by either cutting off the overhang using a jigsaw and a chisel to ensure the surface is flush with the riser, or you can use a piece of plywood to pad the riser, filling out the space underneath the overhang. Just be sure to nail the plywood in place before installing the laminate.
For more details, check out our laminate flooring installation guide to help you further along the way.
Make sure that you are 100% confident before you start the installation process, and if not, then consult a professional floor fitter for extra peace of mind.
Order free samples today and test out a range of stunning laminate flooring styles to see which one best suits your staircase.

United Airlines CEO won't resign, again apologises for dragging man off flight.
United Continental chief executive Oscar Munoz said Wednesday he will not resign and again apologized for the removal of a customer from an overbooked flight by force -- an incident that drew global scorn.
"I was hired to make United better and we've been doing that and that's what I'll continue to do," Munoz said, when asked about calls for his resignation as leader of the embattled airline on the ABC show "Good Morning America."
Munoz reiterated his regret over the incident Sunday, which sparked widespread outrage and mushroomed into a global public relations disaster after video of passenger David Dao, 69, his face bloodied, being dragged off the plane, went viral.
"Probably the word 'shame' comes to mind," Munoz said, adding that he had not yet spoken to Dao, but his team had tried to reach out to him.
"We've not been able to contact him directly," Munoz said. "I do look forward to a time when I can as much as I'm able to apologize directly to him for what's happened."
Munoz pledged a thorough review of United's procedures and promised that police would not be used in the future to remove passengers.
United also said it would compensate all passengers on Dao's flight.
United shares fell 1.1 percent to end the trading day at $69.93.
Tone deaf' response
Meanwhile, attorneys for Dao filed papers in Cook County courthouse in Chicago demanding preservation of surveillance video, passenger and crew lists and other evidence, a first step in potential litigation.
"After being duly processed by the ticket agent, checked in by the attendant and seated in his assigned passenger seat, Petitioner was forcibly dragged and removed from the said aircraft by City employees, sustaining personal injury," the filing said.
A spokeswoman for law firm Corboy & Demetrio said Dao remained in the hospital but that a family member is expected to participate in a news conference Thursday in Chicago.
Munoz also faced criticism for his initial response to the crisis in which he appeared to put partial blame for the incident on the passenger, saying he had "defied" authorities and "compounded" the incident.
PRWeek blasted the United CEO for his "tone-deaf" comments that seemed to be heavily lawyered and cast the incident "purely in terms of its effect on United, rather than the injured passenger."
The magazine had last month named Munoz its "US Communicator of the Year" for 2016 based on his steadying of the airline after the prior chief executive resigned amid a scandal and Munoz himself suffered a heart attack.
"It's fair to say that if PRWeek was choosing its Communicator of the Year now, we would not be awarding it to Oscar Munoz," editor-in-chief Steve Barrett said in a column.
"Reputational risk is a huge concern for modern enterprises and relates to the value of a brand or company just as much legal and liability risk -- lawyers cannot be the first line of a communications defense."
Overbooking under scrutiny
The incident has spotlighted the common practice of overbooking and bumping passengers from flights, which airlines rely upon to avoid losing money on seats left empty by no-show passengers.
In this case, United needed to make room for a flight crew and called security personnel when no passengers volunteered to give up their seats.
A group of 21 senators on Tuesday sent a letter to Munoz announcing plans to examine the incident, and New Jersey governor Chris Christie called for the US Department of Transportation to suspend airlines from overbooking flights pending a review.
But Delta chief executive Ed Bastian called overbooking a "valid business process" that is sometimes unavoidable due to weather delays and other factors.
"It's not a question in my opinion as to whether you overbook; it's how you manage an overbook situation," Bastian said on an earnings conference call with analysts and reporters Wednesday.
Delta in 2016 had 1,200 denied boardings for the entire year, or one in 100,000 passengers. Management of the problem, which involves compensating inconvenienced travelers with gift cards of as much as $1,000 or more, was praised in some media in comparison with United's conduct.
"The key is managing it before you get to the boarding process," Bastian said. "And that's what our team has done a very effective and efficient job over."

Laser technology has confirmed the existence of a 1,200-year-old Cambodian city obscured by mountain growth, according to The Cambodian Daily.
Lead excavator Jean-Baptiste Chevance said the airborne laser technology allowed archeologists to see "a whole network of roads and dykes," revealing a vast urban design uniting it with Cambodia's Angkor Wat temple complex.
Built in the 12th century, Angkor Wat is now a major tourist destination as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The "lidar" laser revealed the city of Mahendraparvata's complex urban design as well as some previously undiscovered temples.
"No one had ever mapped the city in any kind of detail before, and so it was a real revelation to see the city revealed in such clarity," University of Sydney archeologist Damian Evans, the lead author in the research to be published by the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, told the Associated Press.
He also told The Cambodian Daily this proved that the city was legit, not just some scattered buildings surrounding Angkor Wat.
The evidence had been hidden in the dense foliage of the Phnom Kulen mountain — until the laser pierced right through it.
Stephane De Greef, the project's lead cartographer, described the discovery to The Cambodian Daily as "a massive game-changer" for researchers in the field.
"We're talking about a city that is more than 1,000 years old and is all underground," she said. "What you see at the site is what looks like termite hills. If you didn't know, you might think it's natural."
Funny that it took something as annatural as a laser to call the mountain's bluff, eh?

The Taylor K66ce Koa 12 String Grand Symphony Cutaway ES Acoustic Electric Guitar stands alone when comparing both sound and comfort of play. The finest sets of Hawaiian Koa have the best possible combinations of sounds over time since Koa starts out with a top end Maple type sound and opens up into a midrange like mahagony.

An elaborate Island vine fretboard inlay accents the guitar and gives it a one-of-a-kind look. This Taylor Hawaiian Koa Grand Symphony Cutaway body style has a Venetian cutaway.

First of all, you need to know the way you learn best. Maybe, the best approach for me is not going to suit well for you. So, to learn efficiently you must be aware of what fits you better, which are the qualities and flaws you have while learning.
First, let's start with our senses.
Some people are visual oriented, while they are learning they should use pictures, images, videos and graphics.
Other people are verbal type; they usually are good using words, both in oral speech as well as in writing. They should be always stimulated to take notes while learning.
The physical people are call kinesthetic, this kind of individuals like to use they sense of touch to learn. There is also a sub-type that learns best while they are moving. So, when is appropriate this group should always receive some kind of external stimulation, is possible to use music or make them transfer information to a notebook or tablet.
We still have the musical talented people, they are call auditory learners. This type of learners prefers to use sounds and music; unfortunately they often have difficulties with reading and writing tasks. They should be able to record the class. A good strategy is always make questions to keep their attention.
Besides knowing how we process information through our senses, we must identify our personality type. For this, we can take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a widely use test to discover how we process information and relate to people.
Extroversion vs. Introversion
Extrovert types interact best on the outer world, they like action, to be around people and socialize. So, classrooms that possibilities they to talk and discuss are the perfect learning environment; as long they feel stimulated by the outside world, they'll be open to try new things On the other hand, they have difficulties with traditional tasks like reading, writing and even listening to the teacher.
Introverts are independent learners, they can concentrate easily on tasks, so they learn best alone because they can internalize the information through ideas, reflection and contemplation. Unlike the extroverts, introverts excel in tasks that involving reading and written works. They enjoy listening to others, but have difficulties to speak up in classes and also to participate during discussion groups, especially over topics they aren't familiar with.
Sensing vs. Intuition
Sensing types use their five senses to learn. They are concrete-sequential so they learn best from reports and real facts; the information taken must be tangible. As they work in a systematic way, they pay big attention to details and may be ignore the big picture. They learn well when the information is presented in steps and instructions with logical sequence. They also understand well with examples and practical application.
INtuitive types focus on conceptual information, they enjoy theories and possibilities. On the contrary of the sensing type, the intuitive learners make general conceptions and often miss important information. They do well in task that involving general concepts and associations. They can become easily bored with step by step materials and a slow pace environment.
Thinking vs. Feeling
Thinking types make decisions using logical reasoning to analyze, judge and understand. They have a critical nature and are good in solving problems. They like feedbacks and objective goals. They appreciate an organized, objective and a fair environment.
Feeling types are more subject when make decisions, they decide on the basis of personal feeling, likes and dislikes. They like to work in groups as long there is harmony between the members. They also learn helping others and find important personal rapport with colleagues and instructors. Therefore, they learn environment must be personalized.
Judging vs. Perceiving
Judging types enjoy getting things done, work through rules, they are ordered and goal-oriented. Judging personalities do well in environments that are planned and structured. They enjoy advancing through the classes as planned. The often meet deadlines and avoid surprises or uncontrolled environment. Because that they must sense they are progressing.
Perceiving types are open and flexible. They often postpone decisions and action to gather information and data, because of that they can be seen as lazy and inconsistent. They can adapt to different kinds of materials as long keep them interested, they don't like to feel oblige to do something, so is interesting for this kind of learner have different materials.
To get to know your personality, you can do the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Test in this website: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp
My result is: INTJ – Introvert/Intuitive/Thinking/Judging
So, I know that I'm an independent learner, I usually see the "big picture" and I'm also very critical and I like setting goals and accomplishing them. On the other hand, I have difficulties talking about unknowns subjects and speaking up in class; I often don't pay attention to details or rules exceptions.
Knowing that it's helpful because I able to realize what work best for me: Listening explanation, reading and writing, a calm e organized environment and I don't necessarily need a teacher to learn. At last, but not least, I should set goals to keep me motivated.
I also know what I must improve: I should speak up, be less rigid, I'm must be more careful with details and don't rush up just to get thing done.
So, what's your personality type? How do you learn best?

The cooking bible
This is my bible for cooking. My mother gave me a copy when I was a teenager, and I just gave one to my 20-year-old for her first apartment. Not only does this book give you recipes, it tells you all about foods. It explains basics like how to hard-boil an egg, bake a potato, and then provides all kinds of recipes. There's a section about measuring, substitutes, etc. Simply the must-have cookbook for every home.

How To Achieve the Film Look Using Lightroom
It seems as if the film edit is getting more popular every day. A lot of beginner photographers out there will do anything to achieve this look. The easiest way to do that is to buy presets but I want to show you how to create the look yourself. I believe once you understand how to create the look yourself you can begin to find your own style. I know too many photographers that take an image, slap a preset on it, and call it good. All the editing on these images was done in Lightroom 5.
