What paint should I use
hey folks, I will be getting a new house soon, and it needs paint!! (interior) I know someone who can get me a discount on Dunn and Edwards paints. My main concern however is not price but quality. I want a good paint that will hold its color and last a long time.
I know basically nothing about paints. Is Dunn and Edwards a good paint? Will it look good and last a long time? how does it compare to other paints such as Behr available at home depot? What makes a good paint good? Is there really any difference between teh paints, or are they like computer parts: the same two manufacturers products repackaged in creative ways.
Anything you folks can tell me about paint would be great.
With paints you pretty much get what you pay for
Different people with different techniques and expectations might have preferences as to brand, but usually that's a Ford/Chevy/Coke/Pepsi thing, as long as you are comparing apples to apples (not a cheap builder's paint vs. a high end premium)
As they are commonly available, you'll hear lots of recommendations for Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams, and sometimes Pittsburgh
As they all make multiple lines (think Chevy Cavalier, Trailblazer, Corvette, etc.), including cheap commercial paints, figure those recommendations mean the Premium Lines (Regal, Aura, Duration Home, Cashmere, Manor Hall, etc...), rather than the mid/low end lines
Then there are a few lesser known, maybe harder to find, national brands
(California, Pratt & Lambert, Muralo, Dunn & Edwards)
Oftentimes, as is the case with those I just listed, their premium lines are just fine, and perhaps lend themselves to a particular painter's style better than some of the more well known brands
And sometimes the best choice is a strictly regional brand
This would be a premium product not available nationally, but still is a great product ...especially (if not only) for a particular area (ie: a south Florida exterior coatings manufacturer for a south Florida stucco exterior)
Then there are some brands that are targeted specifically to DIYers
In general, these are not so good
Maybe not terrible, but still...they are marketed specifically to DIYers
These products can or might work OK - depending on your expectations, and if there are no...other issues (deep colors, insufficient prep, high humidity, lack of primer originally...lack of prep on previous re-paints...the list goes on and on...)
These are marketed strictly to DIYers as they would never, ever, pass muster by Pros who do this day in day out, and would find the shortcomings rather quickly...and they would lose money by fixing and re-painting...or worse
These types often won't even offer a "commercial/contractor/builder" line-up (often the first warning sign btw) and will tout any/all lines as "premium"
These would include brands like Glidden* and Dutch Boy*, American Traditions, Behr, Ralph Lauren (the money goes into the name, not the product), and the like
So, basically, when you hear "Buy your paint from a real paint store", it's pretty much true
As the DIY painter's, and the pro painter's, goals are the same (a great looking project with the least amount of time and worry of failure), you should avoid anyplace the contractors avoid, and shop where they shop
Trust me, if quality paint contractors could save a few bucks and either pocket them, or pass the savings on to the customer lowering their overall price and getting more jobs, by shopping at Sears or Home Depot...they would
They don't
Having used every paint mentioned here, and having my Coke/Pepsi preference, I can honestly say that if I had a project where I got a deal on some DE, I'd do it no prob
Only if there were some issues with the previous coatings or adhesion or something, would I want to use my fave/stand-by/go-to products
*which if Grandpa Retired Painter says he used for 25 years back in the day, it's probably true...those two used to be decent...
But Glidden and Dutch Boy have gone for the cheap easy buck since then, and the quality has suffered over the years
Wow thank you so much!!!! This is exactly the kind of information I was looking for!! I will go with a DE premium brand then. I will be doing prep work, and I plan to use a roller and brush application style, since I have never used a paint sprayer before. I am not opposed to getting a paint sprayer, but I have heard that that they waste paint, give uneven coating, and do not work as good as rollers and brushes. The advantage as I understand it is that the sprayers take less time to use. However, since most of the time is in preping the walls and taping the edges, I dont mind spending a little extra time to get the job done right. Thanks again for your help!!! Oh and I forgot to mention, I am in California, so there are DE stores all over the place.
Don't know what area you are in but if there is a MAB paint store I would use it because I find it a most durably paint for the inside or outside. I painted a houes in Phila. Pa. in 1982 with MAB trim paint and it only started to peel in 2000. I think that is very good for a paint to last that long. The house was a corner house which has the front, back, and side exposed to all weather.
I am in California, and I could not find a MAB store around here. However, there are BM and SW stores in the area, as well as DE as I mentioned earlier. That brings up another question, is there anyone who can reccomend one of those three? From what I gather from reading these forums, BM is the way to go. However, I also gather that all three are quality paints. Each company has different lines of paint, is there really a big difference between them? For example, BM has Natura and Aura. Will they look any different after they are on? is one better for certain applications? It is hard to tell what is what from the websites of the companies.
Oh and fyi the frist room will be indoors, in a dark red of some sort, and painting over builders paint. I plan to primer first (after washing of course). Dont know if that makes a difference or not.
Anyway thanks so far for all the great info, you guys are awesome!
My wife and I will be painting a 3400sqft home. My first choice of paint was P&L's Accolade line, however, I can only seem to get accolade in 1gal cans around here. Now I am looking at P&L's Redseal or Dunn Edwards, I am just not sure where Dunn Edwards falls. Is it more comparible to P&L's Redseal line or Accolade line.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
I am a NY painting contractor. There are many good paints on the market, but over the years of trying a variety of brands we now usually always use and recommend Sherwin Williams and we will only warranty our house painting projects if we use Sherwin Williams. Whatever brand you choose I would recommend using a 100% acrylic. Acrylic is a waterbourne paint and not all latex are 100% acrylic. Its also better than most oils now days. Make sure its a *top quality latex paint that contains top quality acrylic binders, they provide maximum adhesion, are very flexible, so they continue to adhere even when temperature changes cause the surface to expand and contract. This elasticity helps forestall chipping, peeling, flaking and other common paint failures, more durable, excellent color retention, they contain mildewcides to discourage mildew, and other great properties too. If your going over bare, un primed surfaces such as wood or drywall I do not recommend paints that claim to be self priming. Primer is primer and paint is paint, any bare surfaces need to be primed first using a premium acrylic primer for proper adhesion, levelling, color. Premium paints will leave a smoother finish. Spraying is great if you can, it can be applied even, and its faster, but if you already have floors, trim, cabinets, and doors installed I would not recommend it. It will take way to much time to mask everything off. With a good quality brush and roller you'll be fine.
Thanks for the information and tips. We should be painting in about 3 weeks, I'll be sure to post our experience and results.
Paint Quality
Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore is the only paint I specify. Behr is lower end.

"When the color is right, you will feel it"
Really, any actual paint store (as opposed to store that sells paint) will do the trick. DE, P&L, BM, SW, Duron, ICI, California, etc. ... they all sell good paint, and they also sell really cheap paint. Buy at or near the top of the line at a paint store that treats you right, and your job should do just fine.
What about the low VOC paints, seems like a good investment for longterm health?
By remarkable coincidence, some of the "flagship" paints are also low-VOC. Ben Moore Aura and Sherwin Duration are both low-VOC products. There are probably others.
MOVING THIS PARAGRAPH TO NEW TOPIC SESSION IN THE FORUM!!!! You can reply there or here :P
Agrajag and I used SW for the bathroom. Great color, but the ceiling paint was THIN and it sagged down onto the walls so we don't have clean lines (I am guessing this is why you do the ceiling first. We cut in with Purdy 2" angled brush and still couldn't get good lines with the $%*# orange peel). But overall the ceiling looks good. Two coats good! :thumbsup:
The SW guys said we did not need to prime because I used TSP to wash then rinsed twice after. PROBLEM: turns out (!) there's silicon caulk on the walls near the tub, so you can all guess what happened when we tried to cut in :furious: QUESTION: Will priming allow us to just paint over this caulk? If we sand the textured wall won't it look uneven? Any suggestions for locating the caulk on the walls and removing it?
ALSO: getting even lines is a PAIN. There seem to be varying opinions from tape and caulk, to using a brush with good lighting and a steady hand, which is what Agrajag plans to do. We tried using an edger, but because of the orange peel... yada yada.
Walls are blue, ceiling is yellow, first attempt to paint the wall not so good! What is the best way to remove the (small area) botched job? Can I prime over, should I sand? Any suggestions for making this project and our lives easier?
I have 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and the kitchen island now complete.
Dunn Edwards - Flat: +/- 29.00 per Gal.
2 bedrooms done in a beige over a 1/4 tinted bullseye 123. Very nice paint that was easy for a novice like me to spray on. Covered in a single coat, didn't sag and only a few runs in each bedroom (my fault)...looks great.
Dunn Edwards - Semi Gloss: +/- 37.00 per Gal.
2 bathrooms done a light beige over a 1/2 tinted bullseye 123. Another very nice paint from Dunn. Covered in a single coat, didn't sag and only a couple of runs (my fault)...looks great.
Pratt & Lambert Accolade - Flat: +/- 34.00 per Gal.
1 bedroom done in a coco over very lightly tinted (same tint as above) bullseye 123. This is my favorite paint so far. With only a single run (my fault) this paint went on very smooth, didn't sag, and only needed a single coat. I really thought I would have to go over this with a second since my primer was only ver lightly tinted, but that was not the case.
Pratt & Lambert Accolade - Semi Gloss: +/- 35.00 per Gal.
1 bathroom done in a what I would call a woody beige color (a little darker than most) over the same lightly tinted primer. I had very high hopes after the coco bedroom I had just finished, but ran into some problems, and maybe someone with more experience can give some advice. the bathroom wall areas are very tight and a lot of semi hidden edges, so I figured there would be some runs, but I had a total of about a dozen large runs and on the edge outlining all of the runs was a dark amber colored liquid. Was this the acrylic and the result of poor mixing, or some other oversight on my part? If so I feel much better that it was lack of chekcing and prep on my part, but as of now I can't recommend this paint and will hold off on the other room (as long as I can) until further feed back.
Valspar Signature - High Gloss: +/- 32.00 per Gal.
1 Kitchen Island done in a bright white on a non-tinted bullseye 123. The end result was clean looking, but it took two coats and was "thinner" feeling than either the Dunn or P&L. I did have a few runs, though I didn't think it was all my fault (a contractor I'm sure would have been fine though) and the paint didn't sag. This was a last minute call on a Sunday, if anyone was wondering why the Valspar.
paint fumes
If you have children, you might also consider low or no VOC paints.
Paints off-gas for a long time and children are very suspectible to the fumes, causing long-term asthma. Even adults are suspectible to getting asthma from paint fumes.

Fla. deputy teaches life-saving methods to community
Naples Daily News
COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. — He's a living, breathing reminder of the dangers law officers face every day.
The Collier County Sheriff's Office's Cpl. Bill Pschigoda, 44, nearly lost his life in 2006 when he was run down by a 21-year-old gang member while attempting to stop a suspect fleeing during a chase.

text: Hello, I'm just asking a quick question, I haven't seen these mentioned anywhere else. I have a few questions about minor features but ones that are important to me. The keynote mentioned that mail has an upgraded search function, can I search for text in the body of a message? Often I remember a topic or keyword, but not who sent it. Or I know who sent it but have recieved fifty emails from that person in the meantime, making it a needle in a haystack situation. At the moment I use gmail in safari to search by keywords, but if I can do it natively, I'll be very happy. Also, can I search through documents (pages, numbers) in spotlight? This is a bit of an annoyance at the moment because when I work on a project, I end up with multiple files split across multiple apps (a PDF in iBooks, contact list in pages, a breakdown in numbers). Searching in spotlight helps, but at the moment it does not include pages or numbers. Has that changed?

Here are a few examples of what we cut out of our spendings after the first year of our marriage:
Eating out vs eating in!
Subway x3/per week @ $14 per order = $180/month = $2,,167/year
Sushi x1.5/per week for about six months when my wife was pregnant @ $40 per order = $1,548/6 months
Taco bell x3/per week @ $12 per order = $155/month = $929
Grand total of $4,644 of eating out during our first year of our marriage. Mind you my wife was pregnant three months after our wedding and so most of the eating out was due to her cravings.
Soon after our son was born we cut eating out 90% of what we were use to. A few months later after that we cut our eating out to 2-3 times a month if that!
Next was entertainment at the local video store.
On average we would rent a movie or two probably 3 to 5 times a week. Some new and some old. So for arguments sake I'll say we spent on average $18 per week which averaged $77 per month which then averaged $929 for that year.
We also cut that out of our Bugdet last year. Since then we subscribed to Netflix $14 per month and $168 per year which ain't too bad at all.
Other items we took into consideration was our clothing, misc items we needed around the house vs what we wanted in our house, packing food when we go out, eating at our parents house to take advantage of free meals, drive less frequently or make all the necessary stops in one trip out the door, started a savings, shopped around for the best prices, shop at local thrift stores/garage sales/craigslist postings, ect ect... The list goes on but you get the picture.
It all boils down to RESPONSIBILITY!
Oh and might I add my credit score at the moment is in the high 700's and i'm hoping to see it jump past the 800's after the funds go through my credit cards!02-07-2011, 08:24 PM #22

In this film based on a true story, King Louis XI masquerades as a commoner in Paris, seeking out the treachery he is sure lurks in his kingdom. At a local tavern, he overhears the brash poet François Villon extolling why he would be a better king. Annoyed yet intrigued, the King bestows on Villon the title of Grand Constable. Soon Villon begins work and falls for a lovely lady-in-waiting, but then must flee execution when the King turns on him.

Quote of the Week: Jim Schmidt & Karla Marshall
From the moment we contacted Africa Dream Safaris, we knew we selected the right group to design our personalized safari with our friends Chris and Nanette. Their responsiveness, customer service and attention to detail and was outstanding. Our safari in April with ADS spanned the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. From the moment we stepped off the plane in Kilimanjaro to the plane ride home, every detail was handled with the utmost care and attention to detail. Our very likeable and incredibly knowledgeable driver-guide, who soon became a cherished friend, delivered beyond expectations and our expectations were very high as we anticipated this epic adventure for over a year. The tented accommodations were very comfortable and while staying at the Lake Masek Tented Lodge on the banks of Lake Masek, we often heard snorting hippos in the water just below. The Crater Lodge on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater was luxurious yet really fit the surroundings. From cool beverages and towels to welcome us upon are arrival to the drawn bathtub with rose petals when we returned from safari, the experience there made us wish we were staying longer. While enjoying appetizers and cocktails on the outside terrace overlooking the amazing crater, our decision in selecting ADS was again reinforced as we traded stories about our safari experiences with guests who hadn't booked with ADS.
Over the course of our two weeks, were able to enjoy the experience of observing many different kinds of wildlife up close including lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, elephants, hippos, black rhinos, giraffes, zebras, dik diks, warthogs, gazelles and even stood in the middle of one million wildebeests. Although there are so many we could easily recount, two memories we will always have is an adult lion slowly walking by our stopped Land Rover and hearing its tail "thump" the vehicle door as it checked us out and walked on by –and– watching several baboons while they sat on the hood and top canvas of our vehicle as they peered in at us. While we saw other vehicles during our time in the bush, we also had many times our driver-guide took us to places for which there were no other vehicles or people. It never felt crowded and in fact one day as we were driving across the Serengeti, it occurred to us we had not seen another vehicle or another human for over two hours. ADS also arranged for our hot-air balloon flight across the Serengeti. At times the balloon only floated at tree-top level as we quietly floated over pools of hippos and grazing giraffes.
Africa Dream Safaris is the right partner for this kind of adventure — our experiences and memories on this trip will last a life time.

Thailand's Crisis Is About to Get Even UglierBy
Thailand's tourist officials are paid to be optimists. That's why, despite the political turmoil plaguing the kingdom, they're hard at work promoting the Land of Smiles as a place for tourists to celebrate Chinese New Year at the end of January. Last year, 100,000 tourists from China visited during the New Year festivities. With China now such a major source of revenue for hotel operators and shop owners in Bangkok, Phuket, and other Thai destinations, the Tourism Authority of Thailand is hyping what it calls in a statement the "spectacular highlights" of events designed to emphasize "the strong tie between the Thai and Chinese communities."
Not strong enough to withstand the latest escalation of Thailand's power struggle, though. The number of Chinese tourists visiting the resort island of Phuket will plunge 40 percent in January, the president of the Tourism Council of Thailand, Piyaman Tejapaibul, told reporters yesterday. The picture is even worse for Bangkok; the capital will likely suffer a 70 percent fall in Chinese tourist arrivals this month, China's People's Daily reported today.
Even those estimates might turn out to be overly bullish, as antigovernment protesters look to expand their demonstrations next week. Groups opposed to Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and her plan to hold new elections next month are targeting more locations in the capital and will block off 10 major intersections on Monday. Convinced the Feb. 2 elections will just perpetuate the hold Yingluck's brother, exiled populist Thaksin Shinawatra, has on the political system, the anti-Yingluck groups are calling for the military to support their move.
Appealing to the army is no small request in a country that has experienced coup after coup since the end of World War II. Yingluck today said yet another coup would not solve Thailand's problems.
For its part, the military is warning people not to push too hard—but isn't ruling out a coup, either. "We don't want any groups to fall into a violent trap like every time in the past," deputy army spokesman Winthai Suvaree told reporters yesterday. "The work of government officials may be right or wrong, but we need to try to understand each other." On Wednesday, the chief of staff dismissed coup rumors after the army announced plans to shift troops and artillery into the capital. The shift was just for a parade to celebrate Army Day on Jan. 18, Army Chief Prayuth Chan-Ocha said. Certainly not for a coup. "People are scared of something that hasn't taken place yet," he told reporters. "Don't be scared if you can't see it. Everything must happen for a reason," he said, before adding, "Without a reason, nothing will happen."
Foreign companies operating in Thailand need to prepare for the worst, Rajiv Biswas, the Asia-Pacific chief economist for IHS, warned in a report published today. With an increasing risk of "protracted violent civil unrest and another military coup," he wrote, "Firms in all industry sectors should have clear plans in place for locking down their facilities, supporting their personnel and having well-established procedures for backup sites in other countries to maintain continuity of critical business operations and managing potential risks of supply chain disruptions."
Not everyone is downbeat. Investors willing to brave the upcoming uncertainty can pick up some inexpensive stocks. The benchmark Thai index is down 4.2 percent since the start of 2014 and 11.5 percent from a year earlier. As a result, bank and property developers are "clearly cheap," Credit Suisse analysts Dan Fineman and Siriporn Sothikul wrote in a report published on Monday. "The market has already priced in the political uncertainty and its impact on the economy," Voravan Tarapoom, chief executive officer at BBL Asset Management, told Bloomberg Television the next day.

A lot of things separate NFL players from us mere pedestrians. Size, strength, freakish athletic talent. They have it, and the majority of us don't. But here's another thing: fearlessness.
And this is a different kind of fearlessness. Sure, they're brave. They cross the center of the field and extend for high throws with linebackers lurking and they sacrifice limbs, bones, muscles and sometimes even organs for the cause.
But those playing professional football in this era also find a way to avoid thinking about the future. If they're ignorant to the possibility that they could very well end up suffering later in life for the punishment their bodies are enduring now, then I feel sorry for them. But having spoken to and gotten to know many of them while covering this league, I get the feeling the majority of these players are aware of what might be awaiting them.
What's amazing is that they still do it anyway. Considering what we now know about the long-term health risks associated with playing pro football -- that a huge number of retired NFL players generally lead painful lives, don't function like healthy, happy human beings and die before the rest of us -- taking the field anyway is the definition of fearless. Stupid, maybe. But also fearless.
That's one undervalued trait they possess that many of us don't. I don't want to speak for the rest of us normal people, but one of my greatest fears is losing my ability to remember. Isn't that what life is all about -- memories? We work so hard creating them, so the idea of losing them is petrifying. Not to mention the idea of living out the rest of our years while being plagued by migraines, blurred vision, extreme muscle and joint pain and whatever else the Football Gods bring.
These guys know it could be coming, and yet they keep playing, many of them despite having suffered from multiple concussions.
Take Austin Collie, who's had at least three of them since November of 2010. Despite that, Collie won't divorce the game yet.
"He's going to keep playing -- so long as the Colts will have him," Austin's dad Scott told CBSSports.com's Greg Doyel. "I don't know what 26-year-old is going to listen to his dad. I can advise. I can't tell him to stop."
But why don't guys like Collie stop? Often, it's the money and the rest of the perks and privileges that come with being a famous or semi-famous athlete. It's addictive. I understand. But is it worth it? Is it worth the risk?
And in a lot of cases, I believe it's an addiction to the game. I love football, along with about 100 million Americans, but I don't need to cover it or watch it. Without it, I'd suffer. But for these guys, it's different. Many of those who have dedicated their lives to the game on the field simply can't walk away. It's what they know, what they've always done. It's not all they know or all they can do, but they either don't realize what else is out there or won't accept anything else.
There's a weight-room practice that goes like this: You continue doing a certain exercise "until fail." What that means is you go until your body physically can't go any further. Your final full rep is followed by a failed attempt, which brings that set to an end. The regular tactic would of course be to stop when your body begins to warn you that failure is looming, or to simply perform a pre-determined number of reps at a specific pace, but this is just another, more hardcore approach to working out.
That "until fail" mentality seems to be a microcosm of what's happening in the NFL. A lot of these guys are already clued into the fact that they should stop, but so long as they can effectively keep taking reps, they'll continue to push. Is it incredibly dangerous? Yes. Is it strangely admirable and a tad romantic? To diehard sports fans, I believe it is.
That's why I'm so torn when I hear about guys like Collie. I want to tell him to walk away, but I admire his fearless commitment to what I'm only assuming is the No. 1 passion in his life.
Writes Doyel: "Scott Collie is trapped, you see. Trapped between loving his son enough to support his pursuit of the NFL dream ... and loving his son so much that he wonders if the pursuit will be catastrophic."
These are grown men consenting to participate in a game that severely endangers their health and well-being, and I respect and appreciate them for doing it. But I also wonder if that makes me somewhat of an accomplice.

What policies does your community have in place regarding the use, storage and operation of golf carts? Can owners ride the golf carts to the local convenience store, coffee shop or hair dresser? Adoption of a new proposal will allow local governments to create their own regulations governing the use of golf carts, which pleases many Condo & HOA owners. In Bradenton, Florida seniors listed golf cart usage as a priority, as the cost is insignificant and many of them have given up driving automobiles. The Bradenton Herald recently included a story describing what changes would result from SB 2448. Ambiguities regarding the use of golf carts are not new. In 2002, the Florida Attorney General released an Advisory Legal Opinion in reply to an inquiry regarding whether a municipality may impose a minimum age requirement for the operation of a golf cart which was more restrictive than those found in the Florida Statutes or whether a City may require the operator of a golf cart to have a valid Florida Driver's License, the answer to both being 'no'. In 2004, Charlie Crist, as Florida's Attorney General, issued an Advisory Legal Opinion (AGO 2004-60) implying that a community association could not adopt rules prohibiting persons under the age of 16 from using golf carts on public streets in the country club community. He also indicated that the Association could not force golf cart users to use child safety devices, which resulted in changes to the Florida Statutes. Under proposed SB 2448, the local government would be obligated to:
- issue a finding that golf carts, bicycles and pedestrians can share the sidewalk safely;
- consult with the Department of Transportation;
- restrict speed to no more than 15 mph and only permit use on sidewalks at least 8 feet wide;
- retain (or supplement) golf cart equipment requirements; and
- post appropriate signage.
Community associations need to address golf cart, scooter and other transportation device use and storage issues carefully – even with respect to private property. Consult with counsel to determine what types of regulations are appropriate and enforceable. It is also a good idea to check whether the insurance policies contain exclusions or specific requirements for claims involving golf carts.

The findings of Hospitality Technology's fourth annual "Hospitality Industry Self Service Technology Study" show a continuing public interest in using self-service technology in the hospitality industry. Hospitality operators remain slow to adopt the growing technology, though this tide may be slowly changing, especially since self-services devises are shown to offset some of hospitality operators' chief business concerns.
Most of this year's lodging and restaurant respondents (68%) cite the economy as the major business concern for 2008. Staying technologically up-to-date becomes less critical in the short term due to the current economic climate. Experts, however, note that as labor costs rise and the labor pool shrinks, self-service can enable hospitality operators to save money by reallocating these scarce resources while also improving customer service.
The study collected data on consumer opinions of hospitality self-service. Consumers indicate that the top reasons they like using kiosks in restaurants are for shorter lines, faster service and improved accuracy; on the hotel side, guests add privacy to this list. The study further asks consumers to identify how many times they've walked out of a QSR during the past 12 months due to long lines. The majority, 54%, report having walked out one or more times, and just 42% report never having walked out due to long lines. In addition, 62% of respondents are either very or somewhat likely to use a hotel check-in kiosk, and 63% are very or somewhat likely to use a QSR food-ordering kiosk.
"These findings support what we've known for several years. Consumers are more ready to use kiosks than operators are to install them," says Hospitality Technology editor Abigail A. Lorden. "There are indications that the trend is changing, however, as more operators become aware of the growing public interest in kiosks." This year's study asked operators: Does knowledge of the disconnect that exists between consumer readiness to use kiosks and operator readiness to install kiosks affect your interest in installing such a technology? More than two thirds (39%) of respondents indicate that they would consider installing kiosks in light of this information.

Fireplaces in Johannesburg
Eco-friendly fireplaces in Johannesburg have come a long way over the past few years, and since the introduction of our unique fireplaces into the South African market have become readily available, highly efficient, and aesthetically pleasing. In fact, there are now many homes and businesses in Johannesburg that have one of our fireplaces as a central feature, a feature that adds comfort, style and even value to the building.
Why Choose Designer Fireplaces?
There are a number of reasons why one of our fireplaces is perfect for a home or business in Johannesburg.
A Designer Fireplace is a Closed Fireplace
Quite simply, the closed heat system found in a Designer Fireplace is more efficient when compared to an open fireplace, as well as slow-combustion fireplaces. In fact, open fireplaces typically lose 90% of their heat out of the chimney while our fireplaces retains up to 88% of its heat.
Did you know? Our closed Designer Fireplaces are safer than conventional open fireplaces. This is because the flames are contained behind a glass door and there is no risk of ignition outside of the fireplace.
Learn more about our High Quality Glass Fireplace Doors
A Designer Fireplace is Aesthetically Pleasing
Each fireplace that we build is built to accommodate the tastes and wishes of the client. This means that the designs we use to create a fireplace masterpiece are limited only by our client's imagination.
Take a look at some of our previous Designer Fireplace designs in our Fireplace Warehouse
A Designer Fireplace Helps Improve Your Carbon Footprint
Nobody wants to add to the air pollution problem in Johannesburg, so choosing a Clean Burning fireplace is an ecologically sound decision. This is because the efficiency of the burning and heating process used by a Designer Fireplace means that a single load of wood can give you up to 12 hours of uninterrupted radiant heat.
Learn more about Cleaner Burning Fireplaces
A Designer Fireplace is Built Using Quality Ceramics and Not Metal
We use patented Ceramic Bricks to build all of our fireplaces. This means that our fireplaces are built to last a lifetime and will continue to function to full effect long after steel fireplaces have had to be replaced.
The ceramic tiling used to build a Designer Fireplace also adds to the safety aspect that is so important to many of our Johannesburg based clients, particularly those with small children. This is because the high quality ceramic tiles that we use provide the perfect radiant heat, without the surface of the fireplace reaching dangerously high temperatures.

I am writing in response to the recent activity by the Indiana Area school board. Once again they are trying to make changes to our children's schooling without explaining their actions.
During the meeting Monday, the school board discussed and set a vote to reorganize the elementary schools.
Before the next board meeting and scheduled vote on Oct. 28, I would like the members of the school board to explain why these changes are the best thing for our children and our district.
I would like them to address the following questions:
First, what are the space needs in the intermediate future? Is there a projected student enrollment for the next 5-10 years? How was it determined? What is the target class size? How many classrooms and teachers are needed? If we have too many classrooms, why are there still two "temporary classroom trailers" at Eisenhower after 20 years? At what point do we have too many students at the junior high? I think that determining the needs of the district is the most essential question.
Second, what would the actual cost savings be with the realignment? Would there be a reduction in faculty? Would there be a reduction in other operating costs? Would transportation costs increase?
Third, have you considered how splitting the elementary grades would affect local families? Assuming the same school hours, how can a parent be at both schools at the same time?
Finally, would this reorganization be better for the students? What is the reasoning? Is it better to have children going to the same school as their siblings? Is it better to have a mix of age groups?
I don't have the answer to these questions, and I am open to any solution if it is fully thought out and makes sense.
Before any vote is taken, the school board should consider all of these questions, consider the complete economic and educational picture, and explain their decision to the people of the district.

I honestly like both of these picks, a lot. If our first round pick had been someone else, I feel our draft would be one of the best I've seen in a long time but we still have a massive need for a pass rush and depth on the defensive line. Our current DEs will not cut it and w/ two of the other QBs in our division, we will need constant pressure on them to succeed. I really hope they have a gem to find on the line in the next 24 hours or we'll be in trouble next season.
Here's to hoping....

If our new English fella can't beat out Barnes so we can finally get rid of that bum, he'll be a bust in my eyes!
I like both picks, but my heart always says that we need DL and elite DL.
I hope we pick up a stud there soon.

Whats up Nation.....now that day 2 is done and we see what kind of things Reggie can do I must say im very happy. With the draft so far. Everyone knows I wasnt too high on Haydenbut look if Reggie was that convinced he was that type of DB I believe him. I think he has the potential to be very good and with Milliner having 5 surgeries the only corner I liked better was Lil Tru.... and thats because im bias in that Trufant played with my Nephew which will be in the 2015 draft.
Watson was my 4th best tackle on my board. I had him rated higher than Fluker because he can play all spots on the line except for center. He has ridiculous upside and he has thebest feet of any lineman in the draft. Anybody that knows anything about boxing you know you gotta have great feet and this guy has it. I believe Sparono can make this guy good RT in the power scheme.
Sio=CEO thats the nickname im gonna give him because he will start and own the building once he is on the field. This guy will no doubt be one of everyones favorite raiders. Its not that he is a stats machine its that he is a natural leader. I think he reminds me alot of early Jon Beason/Chris Clemons. He is always in the right place. He is a LB that plays in the backfield. He will be used alot like Von Miller but hes not Von Miller no one is. But he may just be ourbest linebacker on the team right now no joke. I had him going late first early second. Because hes from conneticut and not a big school teams are gonna be like how we missed this guy? Might be my favorite pick so far....might be the jersey you see me get made im that confident this guy is great. And if we do more 3-4 watchout.
There is still alot of talent in this draft....I would love to get Matt Scott or Quintton Patton in the 4th. But I fully expect them to continue building this Defense. Its still some safeties withvery high ceilings it should good day 3 for us.

Something tells me Andre Carter is not in the know as far as what the plan is for our rookies. Just a bit of hazing by a vet.

Watson makes me a little nervous, but having one of the best OL coaches in the league makes me feel pretty damn good about his chances of succeeding.
Expecting him to beat out Barnes this year is probably asking too much of him. He should definitely be starting by next year, though.
Sio Moore...was surprised to see us take a LB this early after signing so many this offseason. But, Moore bring the ability to rush the QB, and we didn't have that in our LB corps. If he's not a Day 1 starter, he'll definitely be a nickel edge rusher this year. He and Carter coming off the edges with Houston and Walker inside could be pretty decent. Not great. Maybe not even good. But, pretty decent beats the hell out of what we managed last year.

Love the picks. Watson is a little raw with his 2 years of football. However, he played each and every day against NFL talent during his time at Florida State. He's coming in under the wings of one of the best OL coaches in the league and you know the team love him with how fast we turned in our pick. Goodell was still reading who pick 41 was when our was turned in.
Moore is going to be a beast. Athletic and productive, it's amazing he was still left at our pick.
I'm still a little concerned about our D-line, especially if we are sticking to a 4-3 base so we'll see what kind of magic Reggie has up his sleeve. Still alot of quality players on board.

Being from Connecticut I see a lot of UCONN games.
Sio Moore is exactly what the Raiders need.
Not just that he's a good linebacker he's a mean-spirited one.
He'll bring some swagger back to the Raiders defense.

Yeah, you guys have to go to raiders.com and listen to the interviews that both of them gave to the media. These guys are ready to get after it and they are both super happy to be here. You can tell that they have a lot of energy and you can see why Reggie and Co. wanted to bring both of them in here.

I can't say that I am bowled over by the Watson pick. He has a lot of 'potential' but I want guys that can play to their draft stock (which he may yet do) and think that #42 is too high for him. I think that at worst he will be a serviceable Right Guard so I will give that pick a B-.
Sio Moore on the other hand is the real deal, and that combined with the fact that I have a sneaky suspicion we are going to be playing a lot of 34 next year (combination of the team acquiring lots of Linebackers while seeming completely not bothered by the glaring whole of emptiness that is RE), so I will give this an A.

half the parts, and the case are already what i've built for myself at home :o
the only problem with the case is that an under the desk placement makes it difficult to use my usb ports because of trhat big bit of retractable wood that comes out with the keyboard, for the mouse to sit on.
I just hope that people check out the wealth of information available on Mesh's poor customer service before deciding upon purchasing anything from them.
Please don't review too many of their products. I really hope that Trusted Reviews is not going to go the same way as PC Pro did. I stopped using that site as all they considered was the price and Mesh always seem to be at the top of their recommended PC lists regardless of all the negative mail they received about Mesh.
i agree with the above comments. 2 years ago I bought a mesh pc based on a PC pro review. The machine was delayed, did not work when it arived. My wife spend days at home waiting for drivers to appear to collect and deliver the machine. Plus countless hours phoning for non existent support. The machine has had constant driver problems and blue screens all the time. Mesh support is non existent and they even refuse to tell you where to bring back machines to be repaired in depsartation i have ended up taking it to PC World to be fixed ( although it has an extended warrantee. The latest, I bought an xbox a to use as a widnows media extender but then found out that as the machine was supplied with windows media 2002 edition and not the updgraded 2005 version, media extender options on the xbox will not work unless I go out and buy an upgrade to windows vista. Mesh is not interetsed in my problems. I will have to simply go out and spend more money on a new machine ( Apple Imac??)
Just to add a little bit of balance to these comments here - I've been running a Mesh Computer for the past 2 years now and it hasn't missed a beat. Ordered it off the back of a mag review. As far as I can remember I had no issues ordering the machine, and I've been happily recommending them to my mates ever since...
The irony of the title of this website. Surely every review of a MESH computer should either have significant points deducted for appalling customer service or a dedicated gauge of 1-10 for this area? Although to be fair, MESH don't do customer service so there'd be no point.
I am one of the latest victims who ordered from MESH before finding for every one happy customer, there's 50+ very unhappy customers. I ordered six weeks ago -thankfully on credit card- and it hasn't arrived yet. They took the money (𨂌) immediately and said the ETA was 14 days. There's a 'tracking' system on their website which from the minute you order will state "In Process" - it remains the same to this very day on my order.
I won't bother asking for a refund as I know they won't give it up without a fight - so I'm going to instruct my bank to recover the money for me. Has anybody ever had to do this before? I've never had to deal with such a bad company!

Hi, and welcome to MopTop, Inc. This hair care line has been almost 6 years in the making. I have struggled with dry, frizzy and unruly hair all of my life. In fact my nickname in school was Fuzzy! My friends didnt know how much it bothered me. When I was pregnant with my first child, my hair stylist convinced me to wear my hair curly. God bless you Teagan! Then I spent the next 5 years trying and buying every product under the sun. I bought the most expensive, and least expensive and the most natural products out there. My shower looked like a retail store for shampoo and conditioners! I started reading everything I could get my hands on to better understand dry, frizzy and unruly hair. And when my second daughter was born with my hair, I was determined to turn this into a blessing!

Playlists on USB devices
I have the base radio (AM/FM/XM/single CD) on a 2012 SRX. Instead of leaving a $200 ipod in my center console, I went out and bought a 16gb thumb drive for $20. It works great, even if you have to be a little more particular about filenames. For example, I found that the radio will not use the file metadata (that has the track number in it) when sorting, so if you want to play an album in order, you have to put the track number at the beginning of the file name (which everyone probably knows)...
Anyway, two questions, I guess.
Has anyone been able to create playlists on generic USB devices? I'm pretty sure my IPOD playlists came through on the radio display. Some of the old MP3 devices I have used just allowed you to create a text file with a list of filenames in it. I havent tried that yet, but the manual says it will play playlists if it finds them. The trick will be how to name them on a generic thumb drive. Anyone had success with this?
Second, since I have a large number of songs, the radio seems to index them every time I start the vehicle. This seems to take several minutes or longer, making selecting an album or something unavailable until the index is done. Is there any way to 'save' the index, or manually create it so that it doesnt have to re-index all the time?
Re: Playlists on USB devices
I guess I should have done more research, but I was being lazy WHILE I looked...
I was able to create a playlist on my thumbdrive, with an 'm3u' extension (ie, "playlist.m3u") that was read by the radio, showed up in the 'playlist' section of the search AND played when selected. The random feature appeared to work with this list (ie, it randomized the entries in the playlist). You dont have to put the playlist in a special directory, it finds it fine in the root directory.
The format of the playlist file is plain text, on each line is the word 'file' and a space then the path to the song.
file .\Jimmy Buffett\License to Chill\01-Hey Good Lookin'.mp3
file .\Jimmy Buffett\License to Chill\02-Boats to Build.mp3
file .\Jimmy Buffett\License to Chill\03-License to Chill.mp3
I played around with various paths to files and all I could really find out was you must have the full path name to the file. It appears you dont need quotes, and that special characters (spaces, apostrophe, etc) work ok, but YMMV. The format I have here, with the playlist in the root dir, works. I was also able to get it to work by putting all my playlists in a separate directory (titled 'playlists') and using two dots in front of the path (ie, 'file ..\Jimmy Buffett\...') but dont know if that is absolutely required.
No need to have multiple copies of songs!
As for the indexing, it still seems to do it most of the time when I start the car but of course I only notice it if I am immediately trying to play from the USB. About 2500 songs seems to take about 3 minutes until the 'indexing device...' line goes away in the display.
The MP3 play seems to be fairly feature rich, but could likely be tempermental. It seems to read file metadata (contrary to my original post) but uses that only for display and sorting (ie, in genre) and not for the track listing. Gathering and collating all the metadata is probably what is involved with the indexing. So, like I said, based on all the features I keep finding, I'm not ready to make any firm will/wont statements about it...

While it is expensive and will certainly not replace fly spray (which doesn't work well anyway), I still would recommend it because I have noticed a marked reduction in my horse getting hives while on it. Bug Check is not a magic bullet for biting flies but I do think it reduces them and does an even better job repelling pesty "no see ums" which are particularly bothersome to my horse. For me, it's worth the money.

Bug Check worked very well with a noticible reduction in flys around barn and horse. I will continue to purchase this product

I have used this product now for the past 4 years. I have run out of it a time or two and saw quite an increase in fly activity while waiting for delivery. It is easy to use (I top-dress my horses evening supplements with it) and I really like the fact that it's all natural.

Cameron Mackintosh and open theatres - what's best for Valletta? (3)
The latest rabbit to be produced from the governmental hat is Sir Cameron Mackintosh, who declared he can transform the admittedly ugly and inadequate Mediterranean Conference Centre (MCC) into a 'grand opera house'; something that we need like a hole in the head!
Had Sir Cameron, who is, by the way, partly Maltese, declared that he would transform it into the type of theatre we all need - one that can take many different genres in an environment that is not acoustically disastrous and can transform the present aeroplane hangar atmosphere into something more congenial - then, yes, of course, I would be all for it.
Nothing, however, can be more of a white elephant than a theatre to be used exclusively for opera. Ongoing opera is unsustainable and would bankrupt the country. We can afford a couple of operas a year but that is all; and even these mini-operas run at a loss.
There are, however, many other genres of performing art that need a proper venue and which have been looking to the pathetically small opera house site venue in desperation. The transformation of the MCC into what Sir Cameron proposes but which is not used exclusively for opera would prove to be a very congenial solution.
However, with regard to the opera house site, both Renzo Piano and Sir Cameron must be unaware of Malta's cultural requirements and limitations. Sir Cameron obviously does not frequent his Valletta residence in summer when petards are launched on a daily basis from at least 17 parishes in and around our capital city, transmogrifying any open air performance into a nightmare.
An open air venue instead of the opera house as proposed by Mr Piano will never be a terrific venue for summer events as imagined by Sir Cameron for precisely that reason. And anyway, who on earth really relishes going to watch any performance in the middle of some heavy sirocco in August? I certainly don't.
Be that as it may, the solution is now much clearer: the MCC can be turned into an all-purpose theatre by Sir Cameron and the opera house site can be turned into a closed concert hall to house our homeless Malta Philharmonic by Mr Piano, who can use his own Sala della Musica Niccolo Paganini in Parma as a blueprint. What could be simpler? And I didn't even have to think out of the box to arrive at this solution either.
