Installing your own wall to wall carpet isn't a job everybody wants to take on. It can be hard on both your knees and your back, and if you don't get it right, everybody can see where you messed up. However, installing carpet isn't "rocket science," and by using some specialized tools (available at most tool rental outlets) and being prepared to take your time, installing carpet is a job you can do yourself.
A majority of how your interior looks and feels will depend on your floors. Houses that have carpet give off an undeniable warmth, vibrancy, and an aesthetic appeal. There is a wide range of colors, textures, materials, and designs available that can transform your home and give every room a chance to be unique. Your carpet installation has a long term perspective, so it’s important that you select the best one for your needs and install it right the first time.
Once you have picked out your material and design, you’ll need to it install it. Professional carpet installers can do the job for you, or you can choose to do it yourself. Even though doing it yourself is cheaper than hiring a professional, it isn’t recommended if you don’t have the right tools, lack time, or have no experience.
A great way to ensure a professional installation of your carpet is to buy from an authorized carpet retailer or dealer. Most of the time, your carpet retailer will have an installation staff that is very experienced with installing carpet.

Installing a carpet on a stairs
There are basically two methods of installing carpet on stairs. One is the waterfall method where one piece of carpet covers each riser and tread. The other is the cap and band installation. In this case the cap is a piece of carpet installed over the treads and the band is the piece that will cover the risers. In this article I will show you how to install carpet using the waterfall method. These instructions are for basic stairs and not for spiral stairs which would require additional procedures.
Tools Needed:
Tack stripsStaples or upholstery nailsMeasuring TapeKnee PadsKnee kicker (check your rental store)Stair Tool (check your rental store)Utility knifeHammerSafety glasses
Obviously you'll need to remove all the old carpet. Get rid of the tack strips and don't try to use the old padding. Make sure any nails and staples are removed and sweep down the area to be carpeted.
Before you get started you're going to have to figure out how much carpet you'll need. To calculate the width simply measure across the tread. If your stairs are open on one or both ends make sure to measure under the nosing to where it meets the riser and add it to the total width. Figure the total length of your flight of stairs by measuring the tread and riser. Assuming your going to use carpet pad make sure to add at least 3 inches per stair. If your steps have nosing add one foot to the total flight measurement.
Okay, let's get started. Apply the tack strip to the stair crotch location. Next you'll need to tighten the carpet by tucking in the crotch. You can do this by using a knee kicker. It is a tool used to install carpet in small areas and stairs. It consists of a piece of metal tubing with a pin plate attached to it. On the other end it has a padded cushion where you can position your knee to apply pressure to the carpet. You should be able to find one at your local rental store. Simply place the padded end several inches above your knee and add pressure.
This is where you will use the knee kicker:
To attach to the tack strip you need to use the knee kicker to stretch the carpet straight from the center of the tread and hook it to the tack strip located at the crotch. Once the carpet has been hooked to the tack strip you need to firmly attach it by sliding your carpet tool back and forth to compress the pins. Using your utility knife or carpet knife trim as needed. A carpet knife is better as it has two sides and is sharper than a utility knife. Repeat this process on each side of the tread. Before going to the next tread make sure the carpet is smoothed out on the riser and then staple to the stair lip. I would recommend you staple about every 2 inches. Don't forget to also staple along the edge of the riser.
Make sure to step back and take a look at your work before going on to the next tread. Is the carpet smooth? Did you kick it in evenly? It is also a good time to give your knees and back a rest. If everything looks good the continue onto the next tread. If not you'll have to pull the carpet off and install it again. Repeat this process until you are finished.
Once finished stand back and admire your work and give yourself a pat on the back. You now have a beautiful looking staircase.

In China, One's Features are important for one's life. It is called"Physiognomist".
I find an article about our eyes.
Eyes are a vital part of us. Fragile and invaluable to our well being, our eyes give us the ability to work and to be creative. Eyes show us the world around us, and tell us how the people around us respond and feel. When we talk to others, we can see what their eyes are saying and whether this is in sync with the words coming forth. From the eyes, we can “see” the character or luck of a person. Moles, marks and shapes of eyes carry more that just good or bad luck meanings. Here we dig into ancient Chinese wisdom in search of the true nature of eyes and what they are also telling us about ourselves.


1 - CanthusThis part of the eye indicates a person’s disasters or legal problems. The length or width of it signifies different meanings. For example, a person with a wide canthus will face some minor obstacles in his life. On the other hand, if the canthus is narrow, this person will be more prone to accidents, become a victim of backstabbing and other kinds of misfortune.
2 - “Fierce Meat”The reddish part that appears in the canthus is known as “fierce meat”. If this part is a mild red, it suggests a smart and intelligent person, but the person might have heart disease problems. Exposed “fierce meat” indicates the person is hot tempered. Small “fierce meat” suggests the person is very patient, as well as being good at hiding their feelings from others.
3 - Laboring LineThis line only appears in certain people’s eyes. It only appears on a person who has been through many obstacles in his or her life.
4 - Red LinesThis is a sign of tiring eyes. If your eyes have these, you probably need a lot of rest or else you might fall sick. Therefore whenever you notice there are red lines on your eyes, it shows it is time for you to take a break.
5 - MoleA mole appearing on the eyes signifies infidelity in love. If the mole appears near the pupil, it means a person will have an affair before marriage. On the other hand, if the mole appears near the end of the eye, the person will have an affair after marriage. Moles that appear on the left eye suggests the person will start the affair. Moles that appear on the right eye suggest that someone will seduce the person to start an affair.
6 - ScleraWhen the sclera and pupil are clearly divided, it signifies a decisive person who always makes firm and good decisions. A person with a yellowish sclera has awesome peach blossom luck, and probably is a lascivious person. Dark spots on the sclera suggest a sentimental person, while someone with ivory white sclera indicates a selfish person who is good at manipulating others. If the sclera is light blue or green, this suggests an emotional person. Reddish sclera shows this person lacks sleep and has a tendency towards insomnia.
7 - IrisA black iris represents a nostalgic person who is loving and caring. A dark iris indicates someone who is benevolent to others. Yellowish iris suggests he or she is a sensitive person. Brownish iris indicates a calm person who never hesitates when making decisions. A person with a lighter coloured iris will tend to be naïve.
8 - PupilThe pupil is the center of the eye. The bigger the pupil tends to be, it is said the smarter the person can be. Besides this, it also indicates a good memory. A smaller pupil indicates a stingy and stubborn person.

9 - “Red Pulse”Not everyone has a “red pulse” on his or her eyes. “Red Pulse” is a tiny horizontal line that appears on the sclera. If the “Red Pulse” crosses the pupil till the other side of the sclera, this means the person will meet a life obstacle within the next 100 days. If you notice a “Red Pulse” appearing in a person’s eyes, you should advise them to do more charity, in order to gather more good karma.
10 - Crow’s FeetCrow’s feet signify peach blossom luck. Someone with crow’s feet is generally a very attractive person who can speak well. He or she will have lots of friends and people like to hang out with them. Too many crow’s feet before 30s suggest he or she is a lascivious person. While after 40s, this signifies libertine. Women with downward-sloping crow’s feet may suffer from miscarriage. Men with tiny crow’s feet have the luck to marry a rich wife. Upward crow’s feet signify a practical person.
11 - Contour Of The EyeA person with a long upward eye contour (refer to the end of the eye) is likely to marry a good-looking person.
12 - EyelidsEyelids can divide to single, double and triple eyelids. Single eyelids suggest a rational person, one who never makes a great commotion about anything. Double eyelids, especially deep-set double lids, indicate an emotional person. Triple eyelids, also known as elephant eyes, signify strong peach blossom luck, but such a person could also be unfaithful.
13 - Edge Of CanthusHow can we know a rich man by just seeing his eyes? You can try to look at the edge of his canthus; a rich person will have a round, sharp and outward canthus. While parrot beak shaped canthus indicates a person who might face difficulties in saving or earning big money.
