Private Label Articles - Get More Useful Content At Low Cost and Effort

Private label rights (PLR) are one of the hottest things in Internet marketing today. Everybody wants to know what they are and, more importantly, what benefits they can get out of them.

In essence, PLR is a kind of license you acquire for material, which allows you to change and edit existing material and call it your own. Without having to do a lot of work, you could be credited as the author of the material and not have to worry about any violations in copyright.

Not a lot of people know about the PLR articles, much less why they should pay attention to them. Give yourself the edge and find out why you should know all you can about PLR and how you can profit from them in the most efficient and effective way possible.

1. Saves time and effort.
You probably already know how much work and time it will take to write an article. On average, a single 700-word article will take about two hours to compose from scratch. If your intention is to create a website with over 50 pages, then you can see how daunting and time-consuming the task of simply writing content will be. PLR articles will save you this time and effort.

2. All credit goes to you.
You are under no obligation to credit the original author for PLR articles. As such, when you publish them on your website, no outbound links and advertisements will be there to distract your visitor / customer. All links will be focused on your brand and your affiliates.

3. Saves you money.
This point requires a different point from saving time and effort simply because of economics. Hiring writers to create content for your website averages about $15 per article. If your site were to hold even just 20 articles that you need to update regularly (say every two weeks), you'd see how the bill could add up.

But if you were to acquire PLR for a set of articles, you could save money because of the economics of scale. Articles are bought at bulk and as such it is possible to get your hands on 200 articles for only less than $30.

4. Editorial freedom.
You don't like how the article is written or the information it is presenting? PLR allows you to change the material right away without needing to ask permission from the writer.
This is also especially useful for optimizing your website for search engines since you can enrich the content with keyword phrases to improve your rankings in SERPs.

5. Create a brand for yourself.
Today, it's all about distinguishing yourself from the rest. PLR articles allow you to provide content that is both relevant and updated. By doing so you build a reputation with your target audience as an expert. And since people would much rather go with someone they trust, your chances of return visitors increases significantly.

6. Get professional results.
Many of the writers who offer articles with PLR are professionals and have access to the latest information regarding your field of interest. By acquiring the rights from them, you avail yourself of their professional results without having to retain their services regularly.

With one set of PLR articles and some creativity on your part, you can extend the life of the articles to the point where the content has more than paid for itself. So when sourcing out a supplier for PLR articles, ask for sample works to demonstrate the quality of articles you would be purchasing.

Now that you know why you should seriously consider getting PLR articles, here are some ways to get you started on profiting from them.

1. Compile a list or report.
You can consolidate a series of articles of a similar theme and package them as a report or listing of information. While you may think that anyone can do this, you'd be surprised how little of this is done.

Many people don't have the time to read or the willingness to read several articles at different times. Providing them a simplified version of the information they want will be a welcome offer for your visitors. You can either give away the report for free, sell it as your own product or use it as content on your website.

2. Use PLR content to create a series of small articles
This is especially useful when producing material for an email campaign. A series is by far, one of the more effective ways to create a following with your audience.

Give enough to allow them a feel for what you're offering and hint at giving more of the same if they will subscribe to your mailing list. In turn, your emails promote your website by inviting them to visit you on a more regular basis.

3. Produce ebooks.
It is very possible for you to take a set of PLR articles and come up with an ebook, for which you can credit yourself as the author.

Since you have created an entirely new product you could repackage this and sell this with your own resale rights. Just like you, there are people who are looking for material they can use for their own promotion needs so cater to this market as they are increasingly growing in number.

As you can see, using PLR articles are not only effective in providing truly useful content. They are also cost and labor-efficient, which means you can focus more of your time to more important matters, whether they are for business or otherwise.

50 years after Cuba Missile Crisis, US influence in hemisphere waning

It was what many consider the most dangerous moment the world has ever faced: the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, which saw the United States square off over nuclear missiles stationed by the Soviet Union in Cuba.

This week marks the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the tense standoff. And while the politics of the Cold War have little relevance for US-Latin American relations today, in some ways the US finds itself in the very position that set the stage for conflict in the first place, says Philip Brenner, a historian of the missile crisis at American University. With US influence waning in the region, Latin America is forging ahead with its own agenda.

It was not only the containment of communism that drove US attempts to oust Fidel Castro from the helm of Cuba in the early 1960s says Mr. Brenner. The US was also concerned about Latin American countries emulating Cuba, particularly its geopolitical stance in the Cold War, and thus undermining American leadership in the western hemisphere. Some 50 years later, the US faces the same situation, just a more modern iteration.

?What the US feared the most in 1962 has come to pass,? says Brenner, who authored "Sad and Luminous Days: Cuba's Struggle with the Superpowers after the Missile Crisis." ?We were concerned about our sphere of influence that we had taken for granted.? [Today] we cannot dominate this region anymore. They do not look to us for leadership. Countries look within the region, and to some extent to Cuba still.?

RELATED: Think you know Latin America? Take our geography quiz.

After the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the US turned its attention from Latin America as it focused on terrorism and threats from the Middle East. At the same time, over the past decade Latin American democracy has flourished and the global economy shifted, with Latin America no longer looking just north to the US for leadership and investment, but to India, China, and Russia. China surpassed the US as Brazil?s biggest trading partner in 2009.

INVESTMENT FROM OUTSIDE

Most of these relationships are economic in nature among emerging economies. If Russia, for example, once eyed Cuba to buoy its political project close to the American border, today it is inking energy deals and selling arms in Latin America because it finds willing partners and purchasers there.

?Russia is going to sell all kinds of arms to Venezuela, not because [Venezuelan President] Hugo Chavez is saying he is socialist. It?s because he has money to pay for it,? says Alex Sanchez, a senior research fellow at the Council on Hemispheric Affairs.

The flurry of investment in countries ranging from Venezuela to Bolivia helps to further undermine US global dominance in the region, a scenario that many leaders welcome today. Chief among them is Mr. Chavez, who just won another six-year term in office, and his allies including President Evo Morales in Bolivia and President Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua.

Indeed, the anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis will likely provide an opportunity for the ?extreme left? in Latin America to express support for Cuba, says Johns Hopkins Latin American expert Riordan Roett. ?They will be in solidarity about the survival of the Castro brothers,? Mr. Roett says.

'A LYNCHPIN' IN THE REGION

That kind of defiance ? showing respect for a nation that for so long the US has considered a thorn in its side ? would have been unthinkable 50 years ago. Before the Cuban Missile Crisis, after the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, the US pressured Latin American countries to suspend Cuba?s membership from the Organization of American States (OAS). At the same time, Cuba signed onto the non-aligned movement, and Brenner says it was that move that the US feared other countries in Latin America might follow. At the time, US thinking on the movement was, ?you are with us or you are against us.?

The politics surrounding Cuba at the OAS highlights the declining influence of the US on the region. Fifty years ago the US advocated for Cuba?s suspension, and was successful; but during the group?s summit in April, leaders across political spectrums said they would question attending another summit without Cuba at the table.

?This comes from [Colombian President Juan Manuel] Santos, our most loyal ally in the region," says Brenner. "Cuba was once the pariah state; it is now a lynchpin for all the other countries.?

What Was The First Cooperative Play Console Game? - How-To Geek


Answer: Asteroids

For most video game fans, their earliest memories of co-operative play revolve around classic side-scrolling co-op games like Contra and hack ?n slash dungeon crawlers like Gauntlet. Long before these notable greats in the history of co-op gaming, however, there were cooperative modes hidden away in even earlier console games.

The first video game to include a two-player cooperative mode was Asteroids. The 1979 Atari-based console release of the game included a version where each player, using their own paddle, could control a ship and assist in blasting the continuous onslaught of asteroids.

While gamers enjoyed a variety of Arcade-based cooperative games throughout the early 1980s, it wasn?t until the late 1980s that cooperative games enjoyed a strong showing on consoles. Notable games from this golden era of cooperative gaming include: Legendary Wings (1988/NES), Contra (1988/NES), and Altered Beast (Sega/1989).

Deep-Sea Vehicle Alvin Gets Splashy Makeover

Humans have explored only a tiny fraction of the deep-sea floor, but the deep-diving submersible vehicle Alvin gets credit for a considerable share of what humanity has seen in the water's dark, alien depths.

Alvin, which can ferry three people into the deep sea, has made 4,664 dives since its first in 1965. Alvin has explored the wreckage of the doomed Titanic, revealed otherworldly life flourishing at hydrothermal vents and their cooler counterparts, cold seeps. Most recently, Alvin was dispatched to investigate the effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

After all of these missions, Alvin is getting an upgrade.

A new sphere ? the part of the submersible in which a pilot and two scientists travel ? has been forged from titanium, and workers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in Massachusetts, Alvin's home base, have begun the process of rebuilding the rest of the storied submersible.

After ensuring the sphere fit within Alvin's frame, workers removed the sphere and are now bolting flotation material called syntactic foam, the main ballast system, the battery box and other systems onto the frame. The interior of the sphere still needs to be built and instrumentation installed within it, said Susan Humphris, the scientist leading the upgrade project. [See Photos of Alvin and Its Deep-Sea Adventures]

She said she expects Alvin to be reassembled by the end of the year. Manned testing is expected to begin by March with the first deep dive off Bermuda in April 2013.

A successful dive in April would complete the first half of the two-stage upgrade process intended to enable Alvin to dive deeper, carry more samples, extend the reach of its arms, take better pictures, and provide its passengers and pilot with a more comfortable ride and a better view, Humphris said.

The first stage of the upgrade, which is under way, is estimated to cost $40.9 million. However, the timing of the second stage remains uncertain, pending funding and technological developments. Power is a big part of the problem.

The first-stage upgrades involve changes that don't require more power. For example, the new 6.5-foot-diameter (2 meters) sphere is slightly larger than its predecessor and has slightly larger portholes, or windows, in an improved configuration. Its interior will feature a curved bench on which occupants can lie or kneel, Humphris said.

But perhaps the most significant upgrade, extending the depth to which Alvin can dive from 15,000 feet (4,500 m) to 21,000 feet (6,500 m), isn't yet happening. The problem: Diving deeper requires more power.

Alvin has used lead-acid batteries, like those in a car, to power itself on dives. But to extend its depth range, Alvin needs a battery upgrade. The easiest choice for an improvement would be lithium-ion batteries, but this technology isn't yet safe enough to be used on a routine basis in a manned submarine.

"Our hope is that it could be done when the Alvin goes through its next major overhaul in five
years," Humphris told LiveScience. Every five years, Alvin is completely disassembled for maintenance.

In its current configuration, Alvin's diving capability allows it to reach the bottom of about two-thirds of the ocean. At the extended rangeAlvin is expected to be able to reach 98 percent of the seafloor, Humphris said. [Gallery: Unique Life at Antarctic Deep-Sea Vents]

But even with its diving range extended, Alvin will be far from the deepest diving submersible. In March, James Cameron dove 6.8 miles (11,000 m) in the western Pacific in a privately funded vehicle. And in June, China tested its own submersible below 23,000 feet (7,000 m).

The new titanium sphere, forged in Wisconsin, is now at WHOI, where Alvin?s pilots have begun rebuilding the vehicle. (The pilots do assembly work so they are intimately familiar with the vehicle, Humphris said.)

The titanium frame into which the sphere will fit is not yet completed, but work is continuing using a steel mockup until the real thing is ready.

Humphris, a geologist, said she stopped counting her dives in Alvin after her 30th trip.

"The bottom of the ocean is close to freezing, so you take a lot of sweaters, coats and gloves and socks down with you," she said. The cooling has an uncomfortable repercussion: "the water vapor condenses out and it trickles down the inside of the hull, [so] you are leaning against the hull and there is this cold trickle of water going down your back."

The journey to the bottom of the ocean takes roughly two hours each way, leaving about five hours of a dive spent on the bottom.

"You have got limited time ? We don't even stop and eat lunch once we are on the bottom, you just work, and you usually have a long list of tasks to accomplish so that is probably the most stressful time," she said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? At every turn of Endeavour's stop-and-go commute through urban streets, a constellation of spectators trailed along as the space shuttle ploddingly nosed past stores, schools, churches and front yards.

Having escaped out of Earth's atmosphere two dozen times, Endeavour's slow-speed trek Saturday to its retirement center took it through the working-class streets of southern Los Angeles.

In an instant, the shuttle crossings became part of history.

Along the 12-mile course, thousands marveled at the engineering. Some rooted for Endeavour when it appeared it might clip a light post. Others wondered if it could just hurry up to its destination.

Early birds gathered in front of lnglewood High School before sunrise to watch Endeavour roll by at a pokey 2 mph. Dean Martinez, who lives in Los Angeles but works in Inglewood, could not miss the moment.

"This is great for the city as a whole. It makes us proud," said Martinez, a project director for a nonprofit.

Endeavour had been scheduled to inch into the California Science Center on Saturday evening to spend the rest of its years as a museum piece. But as the night wore on, even inching became a challenge, and the journey looked likely to spill into Sunday.

The second day of the move started off promising, with Endeavour 1? hours ahead of schedule. But hurdles and hiccups caused it to run some five hours behind. There was no major single reason for the slowdown ? it was the accumulation of small problems involving maneuvering and maintenance.

They included a small tree on the narrowest section of the move that planners hadn't thought needed removal but ended up bringing the procession to a stop. As crews tried to find ways to tilt and twist the shuttle past the tree, they came close to deciding to cut it down before Endeavor squeezed through. Another slip-up came when it appeared the shuttle was going to hit a light post, and crews again began plans to remove it as the ship slid through.

The crowd had its problems too. Despite temperatures in the mid-70s, more than two dozen people were treated for heat-related injuries after a long day in the sun, according to fire officials.

But incredibly, given the size of the crowd, police reported no arrests.

Unlike other high-profile events like the Academy Awards or the Rose Parade, the procession was centered in some of the area's most economically downtrodden and troubled places. The shuttle passed several gritty areas and shuttered businesses, and rolled down many streets that were aflame two decades earlier during the 1992 riots brought on by the Rodney King beating.

"Having a shuttle come through this area of high poverty, it can only be a good thing" for the community," said Damian Pipkins, a volunteer at Eso Won Books.

Endeavour hit the pavement before dawn Friday, trundling out of the Los Angeles International Airport on a remote-controlled 160-wheel carrier past diamond-shaped "Shuttle Xing" signs. When it reached a freeway overpass that night, it was towed by a truck.

The shuttle made a late-morning pit stop Saturday at the Forum ? former home of the Los Angeles Lakers ? where it was greeted in the arena's parking lot by a throng of cheering spectators. It was late to its second public celebration that included a dance performance choreographed by Debbie Allen.

For most of the way, Endeavour straddled wide boulevards ? Manchester, Crenshaw, Martin Luther King Jr. The one exception was when the shuttle ambled through a slightly curved residential street lined with apartment buildings on both sides ? a spot that caused some delay.

As it wound through South Los Angeles, residents welcomed its presence. Before the move, some lamented over the loss of shade as trees were chopped down to provide clearance.

Others thought it was a decent trade.

"If you have to go through a little bit of pain to have something nice for the community, then it's worth it," said Pamela Tucker, who lives a block away from Crenshaw Boulevard in Los Angeles.

When Endeavour rolls down King Boulevard, special attention will be paid to the pine trees planted in honor of the slain civil rights leader.

Endeavour may have circled the globe nearly 4,700 times, but its roots are grounded in California. Its main engines were fabricated in the San Fernando Valley. The heat tiles were invented in Silicon Valley. Its "fly-by-wire" technology was developed in the Los Angeles suburb of Downey.

It's no longer shiny and sleek, like when it first rolled off the assembly line in the Mojave Desert in 1991 to replace the lost Challenger. As it cruised block-by-block, it's hard to miss what 123 million miles in space and two dozen re-entries can do to the exterior.

Shuffling Endeavour through city streets was a laborious undertaking ? nearly a year in the making. It could not be taken apart without damaging the delicate tiles. Airlifting it was out of the question. So was driving on freeways since it was too massive to fit through underpasses.

There were consequences. Several hundred Inglewood residents suffered hours-long outages when power lines were temporarily snipped. Some businesses lost customers because of street and sidewalk closures.

Such a move is not cheap. The cross-town transport was estimated at $10 million, to be paid for by the science center and private donations.

Interview With a Single Dad: Budgets, Child Support and Doing Hair ...

In a society where being average is applauded, I?m careful not to pat single fathers on their backs for doing what they are supposed to. ?Men should love and care for their children, provide emotional and financial support, and give guidance and instruction. ?Many men do.? We just hear about the ones with 15 children by ten different women, or the ones behind bars for failing to pay child support.? Or the dad who doesn?t raise his own kids but will show up at baseball games, birthday parties and cub scout meetings for his girlfriend?s children.? But they are the exception, not the norm.

There are many men who take it a step further than your typical dad. They have their sons and daughters? best interest at heart. They put aside petty differences with their past partners to put their kids first. ?They speak highly of their exes to raise their children?s self-esteem. ?And they give up dating, shopping and even dreaming to make sure they don?t miss a single second of their offspring?s lives. ?One such man is B.J. Butler. ?He raises two daughters on his own, which humbles him more and more each day. ?He understands how hard it is to keep a roof over his family?s heads, and doesn?t have a problem trading in a fancy ride for a station wagon, or cutting off cable to keep food on the table.

What is the hardest part about being a single father?? What is the best?

For me, it was doing their hair. Money was extremely tight, so anything I could do to save money I did it. Another challenge was adjusting to the weekends of staying in the house. As a single father, I never felt like I could drop my children off with someone just so I could go out and have some fun. They were/are my responsibility and no one else?s. That was a hard pill to swallow as I felt deprived of adult interactions/conversations.

I did feel odd many times carrying around my daughters all the time with no woman by my side. People would think they are my sisters since I look very young for my age.

The best part about being a single father is that it gave me the perspective that many single mothers have of raising children alone. I developed a genuine appreciation for anyone who is raising a child by themselves. Another great thing about being a single father is that I know I?ve always been there for them, not out of obligation, but out of my fatherly duties, and seeing them grow up into beautiful intelligent young ladies.

What misconceptions do people have about single fathers??

One misconception is that the children?s mother must be in the picture or nearby. It?s hard for people to imagine that a father can raise children on his own, especially girls. People think he has to look for a woman to help him. The reverse is true for every single mother out there.

As a single dad, how and when do/did you start dating? How has your dating life changed??

The first person I brought around my girls, they loved her. I thought I could have a balanced life. But the relationship was short-term on the woman?s part. What I did not expect was for my daughters to grow so fond of her.? They were really sad when she stopped coming by.? That?s when I realized it?s not good to bring everyone around my children unless I?m planning to marry them.

Dating as a single father?I still find it a challenge, since I?m on a strict budget and drive a station wagon.? That doesn?t attract a lot of prospects. I must have a lot of conversations on the phone, or the internet, verses in person.? I can?t have company come over off the bat. I think giving someone a year is sufficient time before you introduce them to your child(ren).

I don?t think one gender has it easier when it comes to dating as a single parent.? I will say that single moms tend to have a larger support system and more resources.? That might make having a social life a little easier.

When you Google ?single dad,? most of the results are about finding love, single dads and dating and single dads and sex.? It?s as if men can?t raise children without help, since the same results don?t pop up when you search ?single mom.? Do you find that offensive?

Yes, very much so. Even before reading this list of questions, I did a similar search on my own and on Facebook. There?s little to no support for single fathers. I attempted to get some support and was told most, if not all, programs are only for women. Our society lacks temperance in our judicial system as I understand women have been taken advantage of, or simply abandoned. Now that happens to single fathers as well, and the only ones that truly suffer are the children.

What can moms provide that dads can?t? What can dads provide that moms can?t?

Most moms can give affection, emotional support and a nurturing environment while many dads are not as abundantly gifted in those areas. Both can teach their child(ren) about sacrificing and working hard. Dads can and do give their child(ren) their identities. We tell our kids how beautiful/handsome they are. We set the standards for our daughters on the kind of man they date/marry. We instill in our sons how to become ?God-fearing, productive, hardworking men.

How do you stick to a budget?? What sacrifices must you make? Do you think some single dads fear filing for child support?

Since I grew up managing money, sticking to a budget wasn?t that difficult. With me working two jobs, there was no freedom to deviate from a budget. That meant no new clothes or shoes for me for a few years. It meant depending on grandparents to help out during the holidays and to buy additional clothes throughout the year. I sacrificed going out to the movies, entertaining friends and having cable. ?Sometimes it was on; other times it was cut off! ?When I went to the grocery store, I had a precise list. I bought only what was on sale and what I had coupons for. The Sunday paper became a part of my weekly reading.

I feared filing for child support despite having full custody of my daughters. Most of the time, the system is designed to blindly side with mothers. Many single fathers may not file out of fear that they will waste their time, receive a lack of support or run the risk of losing custody of his children.

How do you create a co-parenting plan?

This one will truly depend on the parents?how cordial they can be towards each other and remember that their decisions should be in their children?s best interest. ?For me, alternating holidays depended on my work schedule, since I had custody unless the non custodial parent was willing to meet me somewhere to pick up our kids. ?I believe it should be created fairly, however not place too many demands on the custodial parent and make raising the children more difficult.

One struggle men have when raising daughters is doing hair.? Have you had any problems?? Do you plan to seek some help in that area?

I had problems doing my girls? hair in the beginning. I didn?t realize how much attention women give a little girl?s hair. A female co-worker taught me how to part their hair and tie some pig tails. That lasted for a month or two before she saw my (failed) attempts and offered to do their hair for free when she had time. ?Then ladies from my church and my caregiver began to help do their heads as well. I couldn?t survive all those years doing their hair on my own! ?Now, I make sure they get their hair done every two to three weeks. I had to ask for help.

What advice do you have to give other single dads?

Being a single father is a humbling experience. First being a single parent is not a decision you want to make.? The children deserve both parents. However, if this is not the case, then raise them to the best of your ability. It is OK to say, I need help, I don?t understand, or would you show me how. Being a single parent means you have to forego some of your ambitions as your kids come first. Your child is your responsibility?no one else?s?so ?don?t drop your child off to someone?s place every weekend so you can have fun. Schedule your time wisely. Make sure you schedule time for the kids as well, as they will want your ?undivided? attention. ?Be prepared to give it to them. Take 10 minutes for yourself when you come home from work and tell the kids you will check their homework, listen to their day at school as soon as you get up, and keep your promise. ?Be consistent. All kids need guidance and learn from consistency?good or bad.

Take pictures, laugh with them, be silly with them, but don?t be their friend?be their father. They will make and have many friends but they will only have one earthly father.

Hope this encourages you.

Hey BMWK family, what advice would you give single fathers? And should they receive child support from noncustodial mothers?

A gene implicated in schizophrenia risk is also associated with risk for cannabis dependence

A gene implicated in schizophrenia risk is also associated with risk for cannabis dependence

Friday, October 12, 2012

A paper by Shizhong Han and colleagues in the current issue of Biological Psychiatry implicates a new gene in the risk for cannabis dependence. This gene, NRG1, codes for the ErbB4 receptor, a protein implicated in synaptic development and function.

The researchers set out to investigate susceptibility genes for cannabis dependence, as research has already shown that it has a strong genetic component.

To do this, they employed a multi-stage design using genetic data from African American and European American families. In the first stage, a linkage analysis, the strongest signal was identified in African Americans on chromosome 8p21. Then using a genome-wide association study dataset, they identified one genetic variant at NRG1 that showed consistent evidence for association in both African Americans and European Americans. Finally, they replicated the association of that same variant in an independent sample of African-Americans.

All together, the findings suggest that NRG1 may be a susceptibility gene for cannabis dependence.

An interesting feature of this paper is that these findings may also suggest a link between the genetics of schizophrenia and the genetics of cannabis dependence. NRG1 emerged into public awareness after a series of genetic studies implicated it in the heritable risk for schizophrenia. Subsequent studies in post-mortem brain tissue also suggested that the regulation of NRG1 was altered in the brains of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Thus, the current findings may help to explain the already established link between cannabis use and the risk for developing schizophrenia. A number of epidemiologic studies have attributed the association of cannabis use and schizophrenia to the effects of cannabis on the brain rather than a common genetic link between these two conditions.

"The current data provide a potentially important insight into the heritable risk for schizophrenia and raise the possibility that there are some common genetic contributions to these two disorders," commented Dr. John Krystal, Editor of Biological Psychiatry.

However, further research will be necessary to further confirm the role that NRG1 plays in cannabis dependence and the potential link between cannabis use and psychosis.

Important Information About Laminate Wood Flooring | Home ...

Wooden flooring can actually warm up a large space in an instant. The impression of walking on rough planed wood underneath the feet can create an illusion of comfort and strength which is really pleasing for the majority of people. Nevertheless, the majority of individuals are under the impression that laminate wood flooring is expensive. That is not true. There are numerous varieties of laminate wood flooring available that you can in fact pick the variety that you want.

Laminate Wood Flooring: HDF and MDF

There are many elements that will influence the quality and the price of the laminate flooring that you will choose but the most crucial factors is the fiberboard backing that is used. The fiberboard support that is used to make the laminate wood flooring is the most crucial. This layer provides support, strength and stability and it is actually responsible for the leveled look of the laminate wood flooring.

Two kinds of fiberboard are commonly used and they are referred to as HDF and MDF.

1. MDF or medium density fiberboard is made by breaking down wood panels into wood fiber or dust. These fibers or wood dust particles are then mixed with wax and resin to make sheets. The laminated wood strips are then stuck to the top of the MDF sheets. These sheets are normally made from sawdust collected from wood mills.

2. HDF or high density fiberboard is stronger and denser as it is made from wood fibers that have been tightly compressed on top of each other. These sheets are made from wood fibers and they are more likely to bear heavier loads.

The production process of HDF and MDF automatically imparts properties into the materials. As an example, the production process automatically makes HDF stronger and more water resistant due to the longer wood fibers that are compressed together under pressure.

Due to this compression process, HDF laminates are stronger, less prone to fungus, humidity expansion. MDF is also softer than HDF as it may split when screws are applied to it. As a result, T-nuts and pinhead screws are used to hold the sheets together. HDF is slightly stronger and it will not split or crack when nails are applied to it. The actual manufacturing process will also influence the strength and texture of the fiberboard.

What Should I Pick?

We recommend that you select a HDF backed wood floor that will stay stable and in place for a longer period of time. It may also be necessary to examine the quality of the flooring, the print pattern, the interlocking etc before choosing the flooring. It would also be a great idea to locate a professional who can assess the weather of your locality and your house prior to recommending the right kind of laminate flooring.

Western intel: 'Small signs of wavering' on Iran nuke policy

By Keir Simmons, NBC News

LONDON -- Western intelligence has begun to detect tension within the Iranian regime over the country?s nuclear program, officials told NBC News on Friday.

Even so, the European Union on Friday provisionally approved substantial new economic sanctions against Tehran.

The new sanctions will have to be formally approved on Monday at an EU foreign ministers' meeting in Luxembourg before coming into effect.


The sanctions, aimed at trying to change policy in Tehran, will target areas such as shipping, banking and trade in parts that could be used to build a nuclear weapon. Measures already in place include an oil embargo that is causing serious economic woes and leading to protests on the streets.

Tehran denies its nuclear work has any military intentions and says it wants nuclear power for electricity supplies and medical needs.

Despite stalled talks between Iran and a six-country alliance of Western powers, including the United States, a Western diplomatic source said contact with Iranian officials has been sustained consistently, including during the months since the summer.

Western official: 'Tension within the Iranian regime'
The official told NBC News there are some signs of ?tension within the Iranian regime? over the issue.

"We?ve picked up some small signs of wavering on the nuclear policy," the official, who did not want to be named, said. "But I don?t want to exaggerate it."

He added that so far there is ?no sign Iran is prepared to move? making renewed sanctions necessary.

Any change in policy from either side is only likely to emerge after the U.S. presidential election: If Iran is prepared to negotiate, it will want to know whether it is talking to an Obama administration or a Romney administration.

The United States has so far led the way on sanctions against Iran.

Even so, in Thursday?s vice presidential debate, Republican candidate Mitt Romney?s running mate, Paul Ryan, accused the Obama administration of not doing enough. Ryan warned that Iran is ?moving faster toward a nuclear weapon.?

Complete Middle East & North African coverage on NBCNews.com

He warned that if Iran is able to attain nuclear weapons it could ?trigger a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.?

In this assertion, Ryan appeared closer to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who dramatically told the United Nations in September that Israel was drawing a ?red line? for Iran?s nuclear program and claimed the country could be on the brink of a nuclear weapon in less than a year.

In an attempt to convey what he sees as a threat to Israel's existence, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used a cartoon to illustrate how close he says Iran is to developing a nuclear weapon. In a speech at the United Nations General Assembly he asked the world to help stop them. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.

With Iran issue simmering, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu calls early elections

EU steps up pressure
On Friday, the Western official said the chief purpose of the sanctions is to ?slow down Iran?s nuclear program? and that the aim is not to target the Iranian people.

The trade and finance measures mark a major step-up of European pressure on Tehran, amid growing concerns over its nuclear program, foundering diplomacy and threats of attack on Iranian installations by Israel.

The EU is also targeting Iran's shipping industry, in an effort to curb Tehran's ability to sell oil to obtain funds and hard currency. It banned imports of Iranian oil earlier this year.

Complete World coverage on NBCNews.com

New measures will ban European companies from providing shipbuilding technology and oil storage capabilities, as well as flagging and classification services to Iranian tankers.

At schools, in shops, and on the streets of big cities and small towns, daily life plays out in Iran.

But some worry that whatever the intent, the effect is a dramatic cut in living standards for ordinary Iranians that may inflame anger against the West and fuel Iranian defiance.

In a speech broadcast on state television on Wednesday, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei labeled the sanctions "barbaric."

Reuters contributed to this report.

California couple investigated in crime spree, murder of teacher

SEATTLE (Reuters) - A married couple already suspected in a West Coast crime spree that began with a jailbreak in August are under investigation in the stabbing murder of a retired parochial school teacher in central California, authorities said on Thursday.

Darnell Keith Washington, 24, and Tania Washington, 25, are considered persons of interest in last week's murder of Susie Ko at her home in Hercules, California, about 30 miles east of San Francisco, Hercules police spokeswoman Connie Van Putten said.

"We don't know if they knew her," Van Putten said. "They're not yet official suspects."

The Washingtons were arrested near Sea-Tac International Airport near Seattle on Wednesday after a deputy discovered them sleeping in Ko's car, King's County Sheriff's spokeswoman Cindi West said. A sawed-off shotgun was found in the car.

Ko, 55, who had lived in her home for 30 years, died of blunt-force head trauma and stab wounds.

The couple is already accused of carrying out a crime spree that began in late August after Darnell Washington broke out of a jail rehabilitation facility in Southern California, San Bernardino County Sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Bachman said.

Washington, who was awaiting trial for robbery, "was able to scale a 10-foot-high chain link fence" during an outdoor recreation break, Bachman said, adding that his wife was believed to have been waiting in a nearby vehicle.

A Los Angeles County Sheriff's spokeswoman said Darnell Washington is suspected of shooting and wounding a sheriff's deputy on September 2 after the deputy approached a suspicious vehicle in the Southern California city of South El Monte.

Following the shooting the couple allegedly carjacked two vehicles in succession to flee the area, the spokesman said.

The Washingtons, who are being held at the King's County Jail, face a bond hearing on Friday.
