Questions to Ask Recruiters
When the recruiter asks, "Now do you have any questions?", it's important to have a few ready. It shows you're interested in the company and are serious about your career plans. Tailor the questions you ask to your career interests and goals. Don't ask questions just for the sake of asking questions -- make sure it is information that you need. Also, try to avoid asking questions that are answered in the company's annual report or employment brochure. Recruiters know when you haven't done your homework! Here are some suggestions:
This is not just a chance to get a great job right now... It is an opportunity to plan for your future and find a career that is right for you.
The following is a guideline for questions and ideas you may want to consider if you are seeking information in order to make a career decision.

An old classmate once suggested that I had played too many varsity football games without a helmet.
More than likely, he was jesting. But the hard-shell Riddell helmets we used in the '60s are not much different from the headgear NFL players use today. No cushion, lots of compressed air on impact and the false sense that, helmeted, one could run headfirst into a brick wall.
From Midget League through college, I was lucky never to have been knocked cold on a football field, but I got my "bell rung" countless times. In every case, a headfirst tackle caused me to see tinsel rainbows and hear television jingles. I always thought a concussion required one to leave the field woozy or worse. I never realized until today that those optical and aural effects were signs of concussions.
Whether my brain was damaged by all the collisions, I'll never know, but at age of 67, I seem to have senior moments on a daily basis. For example, I occasionally catch myself about to toss an empty dinner plate into the garbage rather than the sink. Good thing I don't have a baby to throw out with the bathwater. Out of morbid curiosity, I plan to leave what is left of my brain to science.
In the case of Junior Seau, we can speculate whether his brain was altered by the number of big hits he made in a career that spanned at least 24 years, including college. A former teammate estimates that Junior suffered 1,500 concussions that were mild enough to keep him on the field, but strong enough to give him the tinsel and tunes effect. The accumulation of so many staggering blows could easily have damaged Seau's brain cells without any of them being severe enough to have forced him to seek medical attention on the sideline.
Some people think the helmets are at fault. leading one to wonder whether a return to leather helmets and pads might cushion the awful clashes that today's hard shells magnify.
Maybe not.
We don't know how many NFL players from the 30s, 40s and 50s suffered post-career depression or other signs of brain damage. Perhaps, a similar percentage as today. Besides, there is no equipment change that can prevent a team like the New Orleans Saints from bounty hunting with the aim of shortening an opponent's career.
Rather than equipment redesign and better policing of NFL rules, I suggest a limit on the number of seasons one can engage in professional football. Since most running backs are blown out by the age of 28, I think banning anyone from playing after the age of 30 is a conservative way to limit post-career distress.
Football is a great sport, but it is designed for young still-resilient bodies and not inflexible middle-aged carcasses. Unlike one's fists, the brain does not toughen up from repeated pounding. By age thirty, enough is enough. Besides, limiting pro football players to a maximum of 10 seasons would open up high paying jobs for a lot more college grads, which the economy needs.
Alas, we'll never see a rule or law requiring a star to hang up the Riddell before his gravy days are over, but if I had a son entering the NFL, I would urge him to plan to retire at age 30 while he still had his health.
The money, believe me, is not important.

As she sat in Spanish class Wednesday, 16-year-old Shabnam Sio flashed back to a week ago, when El Camino Real High School was locked down for six hours.
"Again!" Sio, a 10th-grader said to herself as she learned the school was locked down again because of reports of a gunman.
"I called - text-messaged - (her parents) to tell them, and they text-messaged back the same feeling - `Again! What the heck?"'
Students and parents had the same thoughts Wednesday as the school was locked down for about 45 minutes after reports came in of a student with a gun.
In the end, a student was detained after allegedly making a threat to another student, but no gun was recovered, police said. It was unclear if he would be charged with a crime.
But the incident brought a feeling of deja vu to campus, coming one week after police shut down a seven-square-mile area of Woodland Hills as they searched for a suspect who shot a school police officer near the El Camino campus.
The suspect in last Wednesday's shooting, described as a white man in his 40s with long gray hair in a ponytail, remains at large, and authorities have offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to his capture. The officer, Jeff Stenroos, was shot in the chest, but his bulletproof vest stopped the slug and he only suffered minor injuries.
Parents again lined up outside the school waiting for news about their children's safety after hearing the lockdown was declared around 2:45 p.m. Nearby Hale Middle School was also locked down.
"I'm scared because nobody is saying anything," said Galdina Garcia as she waited on Valley Circle for her 14-year-old daughter, Jazmin Brens.
"It's just like last week, and you have to ask: Why is this happening again?"
But her fears - and those of other parents - were quickly relieved by news that the lockdown had been lifted by 3:30p.m. and that students would soon be let out of school.
Sgt. Tom Mason of the LAPD's Topanga Station said a boy threatened another student Wednesday, possibly in a gang-related dispute, and the alleged victim told the school's dean that he thought the other student had a gun.
"The victim thought he might have had a weapon, but he never saw a weapon," Mason said.
The sighs of relief left parents Pam Floyd and Jana Weber joking about the coincidence that both lockdowns had occurred on Wednesdays.
"It's the Wednesday curse," said Floyd, as she waited for 15-year-old son Eric, who was at baseball practice when the lockdown occurred during the last period of school.
"Yeah, don't send your kids to school on Wednesdays!" said Weber, whose 14-year-old son was at track practice during the final period.
Overhead, a police helicopter still circled the area, and both moms said last week's long lockdown had been an inconvenience but nothing more.
"They were safe - that's the important thing," Weber said.
"It's better to have too many police officers around than not enough," said Floyd.
Not long after parents waiting outside their cars on Valley Circle heard that the lockdown had been lifted, their attention turned to the nearby sidewalk that was flooded with students walking quickly toward Burbank Boulevard.
Some had cell phones glued to their ears. Others were busy text-messaging. Most were laughing, offering no clue to what they had just experienced.
Many of those students came out talking to each other of what they had heard - that someone, possibly a student, had been apprehended and unconfirmed reports of a gun.
"I saw him after he was arrested," said Jasmine Young, 16, a 10th-grader. "They had him handcuffed. He was wearing a T-shirt."
Young said she had heard he was a student, though she had never seen him at El Camino.
Other students had conflicting accounts that they were repeating.
Eden Chen-Zion, 16, said he had heard it was "a kid with a gun."
"We were safe - we were just hoping it wasn't going to be a six-hour lockdown again."
Nearby, Jose Hernandez, waiting for his niece, still had not heard the lockdown had been lifted and held his hands behind his head, mystified.
"What's happening? That's all we want to know. What's happening?"
As students began streaming past him, Hernandez leaned forward to hear what they were saying.
Nearby Jacob Burman, 16, said his last-period teacher had helped calm down all the students in his classroom.
"No one was panicking," he said. "I think it was because we'd just been through something similar last week.
"You just had a feeling that you'd been there before - of deja vu. That you were going through it all over again."
Also Wednesday, two schools in Simi Valley were locked down for about half an hour. The Simi Valley Police Department received a report of a man with a gun around noon in the neighborhood near Garden Grove elementary and Santa Susana high schools. Both schools were locked down while officers investigated.
Police determined that the man in question did not have a gun and the lockdowns were lifted after about 30 minutes.
Daily News Staff Writer Connie Llanos and City News Service contributed to this report.

South-African born Chris Olwage was last month crowned Mr Gay World in Antwerp, Belgium - the second Kiwi in two years to win the award. The 27-year-old is a professional contemporary dancer, fitness instructor and former nightclub host.
1. Is there a swimsuit section in Mr Gay World? Isn't a beauty pageant for gay men a bit retro hetero?
Yes there was a swimsuit section in fact, and I won it too. The swimwear section was sponsored by Bjorn Borg and Binoche eyewear. The beauty pageant is only the final challenge of several over four days. Mr Gay World is actually about finding an active member of the global GLBTI (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex) community to represent, teach and campaign for GLBTI issues around the world. It is an ambassador role and we were challenged on everything from world politics to public speaking, culture and personal presentation.
2. Is there more narcissism in gay culture than society in general, do you think?
To a degree there is. A lot of it comes from the seeking of self acceptance, I think and some people find it through their bodies, because that's one of the easiest things to change. The body is a bit of escapism. But it depends on the person.
For some people it's about finding others - the better looking you are the more chances you have. That's not the case for me. I'm just not that highly sexually driven. I have come from being the obese kid who was bullied at school and I overcame my self-imposed shortcomings, and I overcame what everyone thought of me. My body is a direct product of the things that I love to do - dancing, being a fitness instructor - as opposed to an aesthetic.
3. Did you have an unhappy childhood?
My childhood was actually rather good, rather normal, my adolescence was not. It was awful. I spent a lot of time by myself, isolated, comfort eating. I grew up in a Pentecostal church and school and homosexuality was about the devil and his demons. I was about 9 or 10 when I realised I was gay but it was as a young teenager that I thought 'oh my God I'm evil'. I kept it completely secret but once told a friend I didn't think (homosexuality) was wrong. I was called into a prayer meeting at the school after that and prayed for. So I just switched off to people.
4. When was your lowest point?
I was really depressed by the time I was 14 and I don't like to say this, because it hurts my parents, but it was after my second suicide attempt that I became at peace with myself. It was in that moment that it dawned on me that I was always playing the victim and I could only change that myself. I'd been to counsellors who just said [my depression] was normal teenage feelings but I felt no one cared so in that moment I knew that I would care and I would change myself. I set about transforming myself, researched healthy eating and holistic lifestyles and things did begin to change.
5. Why did the weight matter so much, do you think?
Weight doesn't matter but how it is perceived by others does. I felt fat because it was what I was called whenever I walked down a hall, tried to play a sport or even just walking home. I was made to feel fat. I never felt beautiful, I never felt part of the crowd. I believe it is our collective responsibility to educate others on healthier lifestyle choices while also teaching that it is wrong to judge the way someone looks. My work as a fitness instructor is not to make you skinnier (unless that's what you want) ... it's to make you healthier which is about being happier.
6. And now you're a dancer - would your 14-year-old self have believed that?
When I was 12 I asked my mum if I could do dancing like my sister did and she took me along to the teacher who looked at this pudgy boy and said 'no. We don't teach boys here.' So no, I don't think I would have believed it.
7. But you also bake?
My love of baking comes from my love of sugar! And from the joy it gives to others.
8. Why does it seem that gay men dance better than straight men?
Ha ha, I think it is because we're not as concerned about flirting with, or how we look, in front of a lady. Seriously though, maybe it is because some of us have had to fight for self-validation and self-acceptance and are just truly happy to rock out to our jams without a thought to what others might think.
9. You performed a black swan ballet on New Zealand's Got Talent last year - and incensed some in the dance community by going en pointe. What was that about?
Incensed, aye? Wow ... I didn't know that. My intention was never to incense but to prove to myself that I could do it. And I've got strong ankles. I've been asked to perform with other dance troupes since then so perhaps not everyone is incensed.
10. You've been a nightclub host in Auckland - where's the city's best bar?
I went clubbing for a few years but it was always work. I was a host - like a maitre d' in sparkly undies - or a dancer. Now my favourite bars are the weights at the University of Auckland rec centre. Ha! If I'm not working, I'd much rather be lying on my bed watching ballet videos on YouTube. So I'm not qualified to say.
11. Do you think South Africans get a hard time in New Zealand?
I don't think they do. When my family came here 13 years ago we left everything we were tied to behind - the church, everything. My father was determined we would become New Zealanders. We avoided the South African community here. It was a breath of fresh air for me, though it took me years to learn how to make friends again.
12. And next year you're going back to South Africa?
I've been invited to be a guest of honour at one of the Gay Pride parades and I can't help thinking about that. I left the country as a fat, depressed, bullied kid 13 years ago and I'm going back as Mr Gay World. That's a big responsibility for me - to be the person that I needed to have when I was a 14-year-old kid.

For their 40th Anniversary, the RNT 40th Anniversary Short Barrel Duck Call has been updated. Still Short in stature, this call is outfitted with a smaller
lip on the barrel, a brass band, and a 40th Anniversary sticker, reminiscent of the call decals of old. The appearance is not the
only thing that has changed with this flagship call model. Make no doubt
about it, the newly updated version lives up to its original moniker. With its
new toneboard design and opened up bore it is "the nastiest, gnarliest, plain
out bad to the bone call, ever packed in a 4¼ inch duck calling machine!" Single Reed.

Research illustrates that it can take between 15-20 years for the current literature to be integrated with outside practice. Attending the CE programs that Palmer College of Chiropractic provides closes that gap and allow me real time integration of the current literature which ultimately results in better patient care. As a health care professional with little time, I want to attend quality programs that offer a large value for the cost, and Palmer College of Chiropractic provides this. —Nate Hinkeldey, Davenport '11

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The call from catcher J.P. Arencibia was for a fastball down and away. J.A. Happ was down in the count 3-1 to Desmond Jennings with runners on second and third, came set from the stretch and unleashed a 91 m.p.h. two-seamer. All in all it wasn't a terribly located pitch.
The next thing the Toronto Blue Jays left-hander remembers is a loud ringing in his ear. He was down on the pitching mound. And there was pressure. He cupped his ear and blood streamed onto his hand. It took a few seconds before he realized what had happened — a line drive had struck him on the left ear.
There were people around him, assistant trainer Mike Frostad tending to him with a towel, Munenori Kawasaki, Brett Lawrie, and Maicer Izturis to one side, Arencibia and John Gibbons on the other. Then came head trainer George Poulis, Tampa Bay Rays counterpart Ron Porterfield and team physician Dr. Michael Reilly. Paramedics jumped in. His right knee throbbed. How bad is this, Happ wondered.
"I felt a lot of pressure on my ear, that's why I was holding it, I looked down and saw some blood on my hand, so I wasn't sure," Happ recalled Wednesday afternoon of his frightening injury the night before. "Obviously with the Brandon McCarthy injury last year, this type of thing is scary, you never know. But the paramedics and our trainers did a great job, they kept me comfortable and kept me calmed down."
That a mere 21 hours after it happened the 30-year-old was able to recall the details of such a visually jarring incident that was the talk of the baseball world Wednesday bordered on miraculous.
Happ suffered fracture in the skull behind his left ear, needed eight stitches to close the gash, and appeared to be free of any post-concussion issues. In fact, the worst damage may very well be to his right knee, which twisted under his weight as he crumpled to the ground and was stiff and unstable.
Tests later Wednesday revealed a sprain that won't require surgery, the team said. There was no timeline for his return.
On the field after impact, Happ quickly regained coherence and was able to talk with those around him. Within 10 minutes or so he was on a stretcher being carted off the field and placed into an ambulance bound for Bayfront Medical Center.
En route a paramedic dialed Happ's mother Sue and held the cellphone to his ear.
"I told my mom I was OK and I told her to go ahead and call everybody," said Happ. "I didn't really have the time. She was definitely relieved and glad to hear my voice."
Once at hospital, Happ was run through a series of tests, checking for any pressure on the brain that would require surgery the way McCarthy, the Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander but then with the Oakland Athletics, did last year.
At the same time, the Blue Jays continued to play the Rays at Tropicana Field, worried about their teammate, continually checking with Poulis for an update, any update, on Happ. Even after another stirring comeback resulted in a 6-4 win, the clubhouse was understandably sombre afterwards.
"The first thing I did when I came in was walk into the training room and ask if we had any news yet," recalled Arencibia. "First thing I did when I got to the hotel was text him and tell him I was praying for him."
To his surprise, Happ responded. The tests to that point suggested he had avoided serious damage.
"He was able to tell me he was OK, had a cut on his ear, a contusion behind his ear as well," recalled Arencibia. "First him responding to me was already a positive and to be able to hear that it was just that is definitely a blessing."
Happ tried to sleep in the hospital but couldn't. Mostly he just laid there. Eventually he watched replay of the incident.
"I thought I made a decent pitch, I was frustrated," he said with a smile.
Around noon Wednesday he was discharged from hospital with instructions to report back on any changes in his condition. He's likely to remain in St. Petersburg, with travel for now likely out of the question.
"I'm not sure I'm completely in the clear, but it looks from everything -- CT scans of the brain and the neck and spine and everything, skull -- it looks pretty good. So I don't think there's a ton of concern. Obviously, if the symptoms change, I need to let them know, but I think they're pretty confident that things will be fine."
The Blue Jays placed him on the disabled list soon after, purchasing the contract of Edgar Gonzalez from triple-A Buffalo to cover in the bullpen while they sorted through the rotation.
Later he checked in with his teammates in the Blue Jays clubhouse.
"He's a great teammate, these guys all love him," said Gibbons. "I'm sure the guys on the other side will be glad to see him. It's a tough moment for them, too. … It makes everybody feel good."
Right before Happ held an eight-minute news conference in an auxiliary locker-room at 5 p.m., Jennings met him outside the Blue Jays clubhouse. The sophomore outfielder had been trying to reach him, a phone call was missed, because he wanted to apologize.
"He just wished me the best, and hoped for a quick recovery," said Happ. "Obviously something like that is never intentional, I let him know that I knew that, and I appreciated him coming over. That's a scary thing on his end, too, I'm sure. I appreciated him doing that."
Jennings felt better after the fact, too, relieved Happ looked healthy enough to pitch.
Happ then limped into his availability, walked gingerly up three steps to the podium and publicly recounted his ordeal.
"I feel very fortunate. I would like to say too that the whole baseball community has been unbelievable with the messages I'm receiving, the things people are saying and all the prayers, I really think that helped. It looks like I moved just a little bit, I don't remember doing that, but it looks like just enough that it must have caught me in a better spot. I got some stitches and there's a fracture in the bone in my skull behind my ear. But it's not serious or threatening, we'll let those heal."
At this point when he comes back is unclear.
"I need to talk to the doctor tonight about the knee, but if that checks out fine, I don't know a timetable but I'd obviously like to be back as soon as possible. From what I understand, the skull will kind of heal on its own so it shouldn't be a thing that's too much of a setback. I'm just hoping and continuing to pray that the knee's intact."
How does the knee feel?
"Just tight and doesn't want to bend or move too much for me. It is a little bit swollen. It may just be tight. It may just be a little sprain. That's what we're hoping."
Is it stable?
"It wasn't as stable as we would've liked last night. But we'll have to see what the doctor says tonight."
A sprain may have been the best possible news for his knee after a harrowing 27 hours.

Crazy John 'out of picture' over Victory
Page Tools
John Ilhan, the businessman with a genius for generating sports-related publicity, will not be the financial saviour of Melbourne Victory.
The head of the Crazy John's mobile phone group is not prepared to put any money into the A-League club, according to Football Federation Australia officials.
"He does not want to invest in the club because he feels the season is too close to kick-off time," said the FFA's head of operations, Matt Carroll.
"He wants the FFA to underwrite the club to see how it will go. We have told him that we have other people who do want to put money in, and they want to invest now. He's out of the picture.
"John O'Neill (the FFA chief executive) and I will talk to Victory chairman Geoff Lord about potential investors and changing the business structure of the club to make it more transparent and attractive to those investors."
Ilhan and his friend, Collingwood AFL president Eddie McGuire, were named yesterday in a Herald Sun report as being on the point of mounting a takeover bid for the Victory, one of the favourites for the inaugural A-League championship.
Ilhan met O'Neill and Carroll in Melbourne this week (at which McGuire and others were present) as part of an investment roadshow the two Sydney-based sports officials conducted with several potential backers.
He was given financial details about the club — projections of its revenue and cash flow, costs and sponsorship potential — as well as data on what sort of business and sponsorship opportunities could arise following the FFA's move into the Asian confederation.
The FFA officials imposed a deadline of the end of this week for him to make clear his intentions.
O'Neill and Carroll contacted him yesterday, and were told that he was not interested in becoming involved.
"He said the time was too short and he had not got enough time to think about it," Carroll said.
Ilhan was first approached by show business entrepreneur Glenn Wheatley (one of the founding backers of the Victory) more than a year ago.
Victory operations director Gary Cole also sounded him out as a potential backer in January when Cole was coaching a team in a social tsunami relief match in which Ilhan was playing.
In recent years, Ilhan often has been linked with soccer. He was touted several times as a potential saviour for former National Soccer League club South Melbourne when it was hitting the wall last year.
- Melbourne Victory coach Ernie Merrick has omitted four players from the starting XI that defeated Perth Glory 1-0 in a pre-season cup match last weekend.
Merrick will ask midfielders Michael Ferrante and Kristian Sarkies to take on more defensive duties tomorrow night, filling in for holding midfielder Steve Pantelidis, who has been left out.
Goalkeeper Michael Theoklitos, who made some fine saves last week, finds himself on the bench. Olyroo goalkeeper Eugene Galekovic, who played in Melbourne's opening-round draw with Newcastle, comes back into the side.
Another to return is defender Daniel Piorkowski, who will play on the left side of the back four in place of Carl Recchia.
Teenage centre back Adrian Leijer makes his first start in the pre-season competition, coming in for Mark Byrnes, while midfielder Andy Vlahos will be on from the start.
The match is live on 88.3 Southern FM
Sporting ties
Crazy John has been linked with investing in several sporting teams, events and stadiums:
Melbourne Victory (A-League)
South Melbourne (NSL)
Subiaco Oval (AFL)
Manly Sea Eagles (NRL)
Optus Oval (AFL)
Melbourne Storm (NRL)

Thanks to all on this forum for sharing so much great info with newbies! Am pondering the merits of HID headlights for my 2010 Frontier LE. I don't know if I have one bulb that works for both Hi & Lo or if its a 2-bulb arrangement. Plan on country roads in NE Pennsylvania and think brighter light would be better for my old eyes. How hard is install? Best left to a pro or do-able by homeowner/tinkerer? Brands, prices of kits?
N'other question too. Read here about first generation stuff; not sure what generation my new truck is, and to be frank, not even sure whether I've already got HID headlights. Hope you all can clue me in.
The best thing to do is get a set of brighter halogen bulbs, such as the silverstar ultras or a set of PIAA's. They are a fair amount brighter then stock, and still give you good beam cutoff.
|The Following User Says Thank You to fusionfronty99 For This Useful Post:
Idleone (06-18-2010)
wow, such crap being posted here
the frontier headlights, both 98 to 04 and 05 and up DONT SCATTER LIGHT LIKE OTHER HEADLIGHTS FROM OTHER MAKES (MOSTLY HONDA AND CHEVY), our beam design focuses from the center out, so no matter what bulbs you put in, its still at the same angles as stock (projecting the same out-wards) and it still keeps a crisp cutoff line
get an HID kit from DDM tuning, they are 30 bucks and are so simple to install
and no matter what halogen you put against it, the HID will be brighter AND will last longer
HID Kits, BMW Aftermarket Bumpers & Lighting, DEPO - DDM Tuning
silverstars usually comes standard in most vehicles newer then 06 or so and up, so it wouldnt be an upgrade itd be the same thing (they do not say sylvana on them, but they are made by them)
also, PIAAs use a higher wattage bulb to get more light output, ive been down this road, it FRIES your stock bulb sockets, so if you like replacing them every 4 months or so, then have at it

Cape Cod Quirkiness at a B&B Near Martha's Vineyard
Woods Hole Inn • Woods Hole, MA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Standard Queen Room ($269) or a Standard King Room ($299), Fridays and Saturdays from December 1, 2015 to April 15, 2016

- Buy One, Get One Martha's Vineyard Ferry Tickets with Extended Parking Pass
- After Purchase, Follow Your Voucher's Redemption Instructions to Complete Your Reservation
Take in a little slice of Cape Cod and hop aboard the Martha's Vineyard ferry while exploring the harbor, dining at elegant restaurants, and much more.
The Destination
Though it's surrounded by ocean on three sides, the classic Cape Cod hamlet of Woods Hole is anything but isolated. Eleven miles of bike paths meander through Woods Hole's beaches, cranberry bogs, and marshes, while the Martha's Vineyard ferry connects the village to the fine restaurants and upscale boutiques of New England's favorite vacation town.
The Digs
With a history that dates back almost to the village's whaling days, the Woods Hole Inn has seen many a ship pass through the harbor—and the ferry to Martha's Vineyard still leaves from just down the street. The four-story gabled guest house draws inspiration from its roots with vintage hardwood floors, refinished cast-iron tubs, and wallpaper fashioned from old guest register cards. However, the inn's 14 nautical-inspired rooms are far from rustic—expect glass rain showers, flat-screen TVs, and iPod docking stations among the inn's modern luxuries. Hearty breakfast fare like savory bread pudding and fair-trade coffee is served in the common areas—take your pick of chess room, sunny living room with a fireplace, or dining room with a fireplace and views of the harbor and ferries.

18 European countries. 3000 stores. 30,000 enthusiastic employees. With retail sales exceeding 10 billion €. It is easy to see why Expert is one of the leading retailers in consumer electronics and household appliances in Europe. But did you know that we are also Europe's second strongest brand in our sector?
And we Continue to Grow
Europe is turning orange! Expert's brand awareness is steadily on the rise, as we keep opening more new technical superstores under the same brand throughout Europe than any other retailer. And the stronger we become, the better equipped we are to meet both our customers' expectations and the price pressure of the globalized market.
So many Reasons to join Us
It's not just the state-of-the-art store concept which makes all Expert locations easily recognizable while providing customers with a superior retail experience. It is our very name, which stands, and has always stood, for expertise, quality, skills and competence. In all languages. Throughout Europe.
High Standards to live up to
With a name such as Expert comes much responsibility. In the period of more than 40 years over which we have gradually developed our brand, we have certainly proven that we are worth it. In every store, our customers benefit from the best expertise and the highest level of service provided by our well-trained staff, receiving highly competitive offers, and enjoying access to the latest technologies and state-of-the-art products.

The Stang had 3 coats of has thurs, wetsanded with 1000 friday
and 3 more coats friday Monday wetsaned with 1000 and two coats. I will put the durability up against your best standard job.
anyday and win.
Durability starts at the undercoats and it also depends on clear.
You don't do something like this With S&W or omni or nason type paints.
Ok, assuming my car has too much paint & readily chips, what is the best/easiest way to strip it down without body off & without spending a year sanding it??
Secondly, if you have a polyurethane clear that can do that, wonderful, market it and I hope you take over the paint industry and make millions of dollars. But if you treat the "average" urethane clear like that it will fail, or you will simply have piles of problems like die back, shrinkage, chalking and other failures. The "average" urethane clear is just not designed to do so or they would tell you to on the tech sheet. Now, if the "average" clear shouldn't be piled on like that, shouldn't the recommendations to newbes be follow the tech sheets of the product they are using, not the results you have found with THAT product. After all, they don't likely have THAT product to use.
I don't hardly ever answer a post with a comment SPECIFICALLY for one person or another. I like a rounded response so everyone who may visit the forum will understand why I say it. Check the view counts on these threads, I have seen posts with 300 and more hits and only 10 or 20 replys. There are MANY people who read these posts while only a few respond. I know this because of the large amount who email me asking questions that they could ask on the forum. But for some reason they don't, I understand. My point is, you just can't tell people to mix products, to hell with the tech sheet, you just can't.
I know and you know you CAN go off that tech sheet, I know and you know you can mix some products with similar technologies. You know a heck of a lot more than I do on the subject, but you have learned WHAT you can get away with and what you can't.
I have said it before and I'll say it again. As a paint rep dealing with trouble shooting or just visiting shops period. I have seen THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of projects just as you have. There is NOTHING but NOTHING that can increase your odds more of a nice end product that lasts more then following the tech sheets, NOTHING .
There are plenty of people who smoke all their lives and live to be a hundred. However that doesn't change the FACTS that the STATS PROVE you will live longer if you don't.
Painting is the same way, if you follow the tech sheets for the product you are using you WILL by the odds have a better end product, PERIOD.
And also by the ODDS, the people who read this will not be using your products, they will be using PPG, DuPont, Sikkens and yes, S-W. Maybe you can change that, I hope you do, but right now, the facts are, that is what they will be using.
That being said, they should be told what will help them the most, and that is FOLLOW THE TECH SHEETS .
I can't tell you how much I respect your opinions and what you do to demystify this stuff. Please understand that. I just think we need to make it easier on the newbes not make it more complicated.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by MARTINSR
[B]I don't know why you have to keep mentioning S-W with insults. Come on, I don't take it personally, But it makes for poor dialog. S-W Ultra/BASE is the same technology as DuPont Chromabase and many other bc/cc systems so let's get that clear.
WRONG, its an enamel with paraffin, different ball game, why are they coming out with a new base, if the old is so great?
No insult to you meant, its just not as good as a lot of others
All i said is you can't do a job the way I did with that system and have it hold up and get the gloss you want, you are right it would be a problem.
But there are a whole bunch of systems you can.
Out of 5000+ plus cars at the goodguy show, trust me none of them had a tech sheet job. Can't be done.
Its all what you want, we all have our standards.
Its more of a help to the new comers to paint to let them know
that yes you can use the 40 dollar gallon of Marhide or nason primer and base it with spies base and use Dupont or ppg clear and get a great job with out spending the house payment.
I will continue to stress that.
I don't need a tech sheet to know what will work and screw up
so I can and will try to help.
Whats the facts? Last year 60+% of the bodyshops in the USA
were mixing paint systems? Why? better jobs and to save money because of insurance caps on materials.
That leaves 40% the painter can go in a say this is what the tech sheet says and not get thrown out the door.
Its like the articles you posted at the top, They are off your S&W
training manual and out dated and based on nothing but S&W
just one example, just off the top of my head I can think of 14 clears you cannot spray with a 1.3, or it better not be bigger than a fender. So some poor guy is going to bit the bullet on a gun set up and first time he spray certain clears it going to pop and he won't know why? I can think outside of a tech sheet for myself!

Barry, we will have to agree to disagree on a few things and move on (hopefully).
How in the world can I have an argument with you about the chemistry of automotive finishes? What I know about the chemistry could be put in your eye and you wouldn't feel it.
While you were getting into the chemistry, I was studying the people, I was fasinated by what I saw in shops. One of the first things I noticed was something you have said, the technologies are so close it is amazing. There are no "Bad" systems, I sure as heck couldn't go into a shop head to head with anything, THAT is for darn sure. And I agree (did a number of weeks ago right here) that S-W wouldn't be the best if I had a choice.
Where in the world do you get the stats that 60% of shops in America mix brands? How where the stats compiled? There are approx 50 thousand shops last time I heard. How many were contacted with this survey? But more importantly, what were the questions asked?
Do you have more than one brand product in the shop right now?
Or Do you regularly mix products day to day?
Those would get two totally different answer, I have to wonder what was asked.
Personally, 25 years in the business, I have NEVER worked in a shop that mixed products. From high end restoration to used car work, not a one. Now, times have changed and there are many more small company offerings of undercoats and clears, it is a whole different world now, I agree. I am sure there are plenty who do. But in my travels, it is no where near 60%, not even close.
Here is the part you won't want to hear. Of the shops I visited the ones who mixed product where the biggest pain in the neck! THEY were the ones with the problems, they were the ones trying to blame the product (the product that would back them up that had real representation that is). They wouldn't have "darn my primer isn't cureing fast enough" No, they would have TOTAL catastrophic failures. I would get called out to these shops with stuff like a urethane SS that could be scratched off with your finger nails. The same paint was used on a number of fleets of cement trucks where they used "Reversacrete" removing DRY concrete off it and it held up fine.
No, the "junior chemist" would find a way to screw it up.
I am not saying, not for a second, that using a Marhyde primer under your PPG paint is going to cause failure, I am NOT saying that. What I am saying is, the guy who doesn't give that a thought is the guy who is going to mix reducers or hardeners brand to brand. SURE this can be done IF, and this is a BIG IF you know what you are doing. What you don't understand about human nature is if you tell someone "put any hardener in your John Deere paint", He will put any hardener in the PPG primer and YOUR clear. Then when he calls you up with a warrantee claim you will turn it down.
I thank you for pointing out the 1.3 tip mistake I made on my article. I have changed it in my copy (did that the day you told me) the copy used here was from before you told me. I have no control over how my stuff is used. After all, that same article is on about 12 web sites that I know of.
I am no chemist but I am smart enough to know there is no winning an arument on what paint company is better, not with a chemist or for sure not with a painter. I am not talking "opinion" here, I am simply telling you what I have seen. I have no reason to say anything different, I have no agenda, I am not a paint rep anymore. I am simply stating what I have seen with my own two eyes. If you were to give 100 painters (a mix of pros and newbes) a project to prime and paint and said, have at it, mix and match do what you like. And gave the same 100 painters a SYSTEM with tech sheets and instructed them to follow it, the second group would have fewer problems. I haven't done this test, but I am comfortable in saying the second group would have fewer problems. THAT IS ALL I AM SAYING.
On the reference on the 5000 cars at the Goodguys show, you are wrong, any car I painted (and there may be a few) would have been done by the tech sheets.
And on that issue, restoration or custom paint is not a good example of paint problems or longevity. First off, you have all the time in the world to make it nice. Heck, you could have an orange peel like underseal or stucco and spend days polishing it to a perfect shine. The car is garaged 99% of it's life, etc. A high end collision shop doing dozens of $100,000 luxury cars a month, now there you will see where the rubber meets the road. It has to be done in a timely manner and you better produce something that looks great and isn't going to shink up in the coming months or you WILL be hearing from them.
This is why I feel ANY newbe can do a "show car" finish, I have seen it. It really isn't that hard. But you sure couldn't throw the poor guy into a bodyshop matching color and painting everyday or he would die a quick death.
There is no reason to beat this to death, you and I feel different on these subjects.
I used an industrial grade suede black single stage enamel on my 67 and sprayed 8 coats on it They were very thin coats but I needed that many because I was getting the stripey look and had to wetsand flaws out between coats. I do have a gip along the edge of the paint but it's because the hood alignment was a bit off and the edge of the hod caught the edge of the fender. I then saw how thick the paint was and after the 8 coats it was still quite thin. Maybe half the thickness of a quarter or so. This was the first paint job I had ever done so I am no expert in this area, just thougth I'd share my " 8 coats of paint" story
I have painted every thing imaginable that could be rolled, drug, pushed, carried, etc. in to the shop. I have always fallowed the tech. sheet, be it a show car or a manure spreader. And still at times there was problems. But they were covered by warranty, and a few I've had to eat. I've done some fleet painting with cheaper paint that was furnished by the fleet owner, and used hardeners that were compatible, but a different brand, with no warranty.
A painter learns fast just what products can be used with other products.
But his bread and butter is paint jobs that follow the tech sheet.
I didn't make the Good Guys show because I was on the power tour, some left the tour and went to good guys, the three cars I painted that went on had paint by the tech sheet. They did a photo shoot on one of them.
If you don't make mistakes. your not doing anything.

On the lighter side of "Can you have too many coats of paint":
The world's largest ball of paint in Alexandria, IN, is past 17,000 coats of paint.
Where in the world do you get the stats that 60% of shops in America mix brands? How where the stats compiled? There are approx 50 thousand shops last time I heard. How many were contacted with this survey? But more importantly, what were the questions asked?
************************************************** *
Ask your company.( S&W they paid for part of it) not me, this study was done and paid for by the the major paint companies as part of the price fixing suit.
Only thing considered was if using different brand of either clear, primer or epoxy than there paint system.
67,000 shops.
Believe what you want! Its a fact. BK
************************************************** **
Do you have more than one brand product in the shop right now?
Or Do you regularly mix products day to day?
Those would get two totally different answer, I have to wonder what was asked.
it is no where near 60%, not even close.******************************************** ****
See, I hate unfounded opinion!
Your company was one that paid for this, yea their not going to talk about it, but you made a pure statement no way, hell the paint company's knew going in it was
at least 45% They can tell by ratio of sales!!!! BK
************************************************** **
I am not saying, not for a second, that using a Marhyde primer under your PPG paint is going to cause failure, I am NOT saying that. What I am saying is, the guy who doesn't give that a thought is the guy who is going to mix reducers or hardeners brand to brand. SURE this can be done IF, and this is a BIG IF you know what you are doing. What you don't understand about human nature is if you tell someone "put any hardener in your John Deere paint", He will put any hardener in the PPG primer and YOUR clear. Then when he calls you up with a warrantee claim you will turn it down.
************************************************** **
Read what I wrote! I have full knowledge of john Deere black, I told him the ratios would work and also pointed out he should use the same reducer as its a queer duck and I said WHY!
I never said anything about another hardener in ppg clear or primer, I won't promote that.
What if I told you the marhyde is a copy of k36? What if I told you I know the women from PPG that wrote the formula years ago?
************************************************** *
I am no chemist but I am smart enough to know there is no winning an arument on what paint company is better, not with a chemist or for sure not with a painter.
I will explain one time as we discussed in emails a while back so you know where I'm coming from.
I will never give an opinion on here Except for chemical fact!
Every system is good in its own way and has a purpose. There are pros and cons to all of them. Depending on the persons needs here I will point them out. If someone on a budget wants to put on a show job with omni because hes on a budget I can tell him how to do it, buy just doing one thing like say using 7800 or 2022 0r 3000 or 9000 clear at a few extra bucks and it will change the job 100% and he still gets out cheap. Here is where you and I differ, I can tell him how this job will stand up compared to whatever you want it compared to and tell him the downfalls. You would not want to hear how tough this system would be. It would out-test you S&W!
Thats just one example.
Next: I Always believe every product (everyday stuff) should be mixed by the tech sheet, JD was a different type special deal.
I would never change that.
But now that you have done that with your K36 primer, yes now you can apply Deebeers base or any other base over it with no problems and sometimes even make it a stronger system. BK
************************************************** **
One other thing, before making statements like using a 1.3 tip to spray 2K primer another opinion, try to think out the problems.
Like in 3-6 months when he gets a stone chip and a 6 inch hunk of paint peels off and on the backside of that paint is primer and primer still on the car where the paint peeled.
Primer is not clear!
Hopefully no one was dumb enough to go buy a 1.3 primer gun.

Sorry to butt in on the pro paint discussion .... very informative but goes right by me..so for little guys like me, what about my post a couple back?? I have neither the patience to or time for, months sanding or the $$ to farm out. So what to do?? Use the abrasive grinding tools or a liquid brush on scrape therafter??? Must be a modern, better way!!!
Barry, you are just too intense for me. By the way, S-W isn't my company anymore, I sold it and retired to an island only to harass you on the internet. I hope the day looks as beautiful out your window in Georgia as it does mine here in California, what a beautiful day. Overcase, but beautiful just the same. My little boy (7)and girl (3) are sound asleep but will be up soon to go to my boys Boyscout day camp. My oldest boy (22) called me last night and told me to change the reservation on his rehearsal dinner this next month. Yep, he is getting married. Then there is my dad, he is not looking good at all and he is driving his caretaker crazy with his demands every minute. My mom passed away this past December and don't figure he is far behind. Anyway, I don't have any control over that so I will just look at this beautiful day and do what I can in my life, it is wonderful.
Nice chatting over this paint stuff with you Barry, Brian
al37Ford, I don't like chemical striper at all. It can do the job, but I like to sand it off. What ever you do, stick to ONE panel at a time. Striping a whole car can be VERY overwelming. Standing there staring at a complely bare metal car is something you just don't want to see unless you have a lot of space, proper tools, and more over a LOT of time, days of time. I HIGHLY recommend one panel at a time when doing a job like this at home.
I like to sand it off as I mentioned. I use an 8" "Hog" orbital sander with 80 grit to break thru good and start removing. You don't want to scratch the metal all up with the 80 grit so you want to stop BEFORE you are hitting the metal much. Then I switch to 120 on a day to finish the job. After doing each panel you then immediately prime it and you can move on to the next panel the next day. If you can do a couple of panels in a day, fine, you may find that is no big deal. But more than that I highly recommend against.
Now, around here I can get a car plastic media blasted for about 400 bucks. Personally, I would pay to have it done if I wanted it done in one shot. If you have a booth to immediately prime it after, and really can do that, I would go with plastic media and pay someone to do it.
Thanks Brian! appreciated! BTW, I've now got a digital camera & will try to post photos of the odd ball 6 carb manifold I told you about last fall. You may recall it came on an old 364 nailhead that had sat since the mid-'60s and also has a Spalding (orange) Flamethrower dist. made in the '50's(?), an Ansen bell housing, flywheel, pressure plate/clutch. Also have an Offy 6 carb but this one is ground smooth & polished with no ID anywhere. Very tubular & high tho. Got to find the nest way to post the photos!
I don't remember if you planned on selling those goodies but I would be interested. The manifold is likely a "U-weld" kit made from Tubing. By brother had one, they were sold by a number of people, his was a Cragar.
By the way, on the stripping, on edges and body lines were the larger sanders can't get, a three inch angle grinder with 3M "Surface conditioning discs" (part number 07456) are the way to go. DO NOT use wire wheels or something like that, these discs make them look stupid. They really work well. They also have two inch to get into real tight spaces. However, a good Spot sand blaster will work well in those tight little areas as well. Just don't be blasting anywhere near flat panels to avoid warping. I can't stress that enough, sandblasting WILL destroy a panel QUICK.
I don't plan on selling as my "next" car will use the jewelry though mod-ed to FI(?) . I doubt its a U weld as its a casting ground smooth & polished.

Bryan Bowers
While in Washington, Bowers busked on street corners and in barrooms, honing his autoharp performance skills. Then he made his way to Washington, D.C., where he was noticed by the Dillards during a performance at that city's famed folk club The Cellar Door. He tagged along with the band to a bluegrass festival in Berryville, VA, and when they brought Bowers out for their final encore, he brought the house down. Bowers' five-fingered picking of the instrument (rather than the traditional strum) was unique, and added resonance to his already dynamic performances.
In 1977, Bowers signed with the Flying Fish label, which released his debut in 1977. View from Home featured contributions from New Grass Revival members Sam Bush and Courtney Johnson. Released in 1980, Home, Home on the Road showcased not only Bowers' astonishing autoharp technique, but his easygoing wit as well. Bowers was always as much a singer and storyteller as he was an instrumental virtuoso; the rich vocals and Celtic arrangements on his 1982 LP, For You, speak to this. Despite these successful recordings, Bowers was always more comfortable as a live performer, and continued to appear at festivals and workshops throughout the 1980s and '90s. Finally, in 2000, Bowers returned to wax with Friend for Life. He also released an instructional autoharp video intended for intermediate players interested in taking the next step toward advanced songs and styles. ~ Johnny Loftus

Progress with openSUSE 11.3
The openSUSE project has released milestone 3 of its version 11.3 right on schedule. The update to GCC 4.5 has unfortunately caused a few problems.
The openSUSE 11.3 milestone 3 release is the first distro compiled entirely with the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) version 4.5. The update caused a couple of major problems with the openSUSE Build Service and packages that wouldn't compile. The openSUSE project management decided to release nevertheless, specifically to test and make improvements to the new GCC 4.5 upgrade. Milestone 3, therefore, is an actual alpha release to be addressed only by experienced Linux users.
Among the new mileston 3 features are Kernel 2.6.33, the Nouveau drivers for NVIDIA graphics cards and the current GNOME developer version 2.29, including the GNOME shell.
The following bugs are in a known state:
- YaST log files are truncated.
- Network installations choke on the wrong SHA1sum for cracklib-dict-full.
- VirtualBox is uninstallable (details).
- With the LXDE desktop, rcxdm fails to stop the lxdm login manager (details).
A glance at the Most Annoying Bugs site might be appropriate before installing 11.3. The list may indeed get longer in the next few days. For download, go to the openSUSE Get It page.
Progress with openSUSE 11.3The openSUSE project has released milestone 3 of its version 11.3 right on schedule. The update to GCC 4.5 has unfortunately caused a few problems. Those that are convinced that the headline of this article content is cool, probabilities are you are thinking about using Linux as your number 1 or just an optional Operating-system if you find yourself basically done with your old OS. Sadly the majority assume that Linux is too advanced that it is of interest only to geeks, Linux-magazine.com will be able to confirm that this exceptional os is in reality for almost everyone. It is actually quite interesting to learn about Progress with openSUSE 11.3.
