WED APRIL 24th – The Curtin Hotel, Melbourne – SOLD OUT!
SAT MAY 4th – The Republic Bar, Hobart – BUY TICKETSThe environment and the preservation of the natural world has always been something Magic Dirt have felt very strongly about. Now more than ever, with the unmistakeable and frightening symptoms of climate change and global warming affecting our everyday lives, the band want to come out with a clear, decisive statement. We've had a long relationship with Bob Brown and we want to do something to help his amazing conservation work so we are proud to put on our first club show back in Melbourne as a benefit show for the Bob Brown Foundation. We especially want to support his latest campaign, the Stop Adani Convoy, which is shaping up to be Australia's biggest ever environmental protest. We've curated a great line up featuring a whole host of awesome local bands. The show is happening on April 24th at The Curtin in Melbourne with a sister show happening on May 4th at the Republic Bar in Hobart, as a nod to Bob's home state of Tasmania.
It's been 25 years since we pushed this little EP out into the world and we are extremely excited to announce, that for the first time ever, via our own label, Emergency Music, and in partnership with Remote Control Records, 'Signs Of Satanic Youth' will be reissued and available on DSP's and 12″ vinyl. It's been a long time in the making and is particularly significant as it was a project spearheaded by Dean and was a long held dream of his that we are now proud to be able to fulfil. 'Signs Of Satanic Youth' is available to stream and download HERE. Two 12″ vinyl editions (coloured and classic black) and a CD edition will be available from Friday 18th January, 2019. Many thanks to Remote Control Records, Mushroom Music and Lindsay Gravina.
Every year this time rolls around and every year it doesn't seem any further away or any less sad, that day that you quietly passed away. I don't mean to sound like I wish it would either, it is simply an observation. But this year more than ever I feel your presence still, Dean. It wasn't easy to make the choice to do these shows. When we first heard, of course our reaction was no, not yet, it couldn't be right. But the bitter truth is it will never be entirely right, not without you. But then your gentle smile catches me again, and I see you sitting on some motel coach eating cereal in your pyjamas, watching some trashy TV show, having the time of your life the day after a show, just getting ready to play another show and I know, what else could we do? How else can we go on but to get out there and play? Play the music that you so passionately and caringly made, created and nurtured with us. There were times when you literally pulled and teased it out of us, with your gazing blue eyes you made us be the best we could be, you believed in us, your band, Magic Dirt, and for that I will always and forever be grateful. It was your strength, determination and vision that kept us together, that kept us working, touring and writing. I know that you touched many many people with your soft yet strong ways, with your just and passionate beliefs, with your nurturing and balanced soul. It is through your family, friends and fans that you live on. Today and always we wish to remember and honour your legacy, your vision, your thundering bass, your hip cool poise, your quick wit, your big loving playful beautiful heart. You are in our hearts forever – our captain, our champion, our dear friend Dean Turner.

'SUMMER HIGH' on ROWLAND S. HOWARD ANTHOLOGY
Magic Dirt is deeply honoured to be included on the new Rowland S. Howard anthology, 'Six Strings That Drew Blood'. This anthology celebrates the life and work of Rowland S. Howard, an incredibly unique, gifted and uncompromising guitarist and songwriter who is known and loved the world over.
Rowland sadly passed away in December 2009.
Magic Dirt were fortunate enough to have befriended Rowland in the early 2000's and subsequently spend some time with him recording for a few different projects, one of them being, 'Summer High' (a song I originally co-wrote and recorded with Joe McKee of now disbanded group, Snowman).
In 2008, Magic Dirt and Rowland recorded our own version of it at Birdland Studios with Lindsay Gravina and Rob Long for release on our White Boy EP in 2009 (Emergency Music).
Rowland was a beautiful man and hugely inspiring to us, on a musical as well as personal level.
Thank you to the Rowland trust, Genevieve McGuckin, Harry Howard and Mick Harvey and Liberation Music, who have included Summer High on this amazing anthology. We are so deeply honoured.

On behalf of Laneway and Dean's wife, Linda Bosidis-Turner, we are very proud to announce that last year the Dean Turner project, in conjunction with Laneway Festival and Dean's wife, Linda Bosidis-Turner, raised over $20,000 to help support the Yiriman project, which is an aboriginal youth program run by aboriginal elders in the Kimberley region. This was made possible by the public making a voluntary donation to the Dean Turner Project when purchasing a Laneway ticket. It's an incredible result for such a worthy cause.
The Laneway Festival also named the Melbourne stage 'The Dean Turner stage' in his honour. We are deeply touched by Danny Rogers' and Jerome Borazio's beautiful and moving gesture. Dean was such an incredible champion of Australian music and the live scene and this is such a great way to honour his legacy together with his deep and abiding respect for the Indigenous people of Australia and their culture. For more information please follow the link below.
(Here is a message from the Danny Rogers and Jerome Borazio, the promoters of the Laneway Festival in Melbourne)
"We are super excited to be back in Footscray for the third year in a row to celebrate our world class event. This year we are especially honored to be naming a stage after one of our local music heroes, Dean Turner, who passed away in August 2009 after a long courageous battle with an extremely rare form of cancer. As bass player and co-founder of Magic Dirt, Dean was deeply devoted to and passionate about music which was always evident in his energetic and enthusiastic stage presence. He was a unique individual with a beautiful soul and is a huge inspiration to many musicians. He provided his vast knowledge and support with humility, grace and integrity throughout his role as a songwriter, musician and producer. Dean worked tirelessly because music was one of the greatest joys in his life; he selflessly championed Australian music, was focused on encouraging young bands and hosted music workshops for secondary schools nationally. He was particularly generous with his time and advice and had a profound effect on people, always leaving a warm and inspired feeling.
The Dean Turner stage is an ongoing collaboration we will undertake with Dean's wife, Linda Bosidis, and their two girls, Charlie and Evie. We ask that everyone has Dean in their thoughts while enjoying the incredible acts that we have curated on this stage. Further to that, in consultation with Linda, we are proud to be supporting the Yiriman Project.
The Yiriman Project is a cultural youth diversionary project designed and governed by Elders from within a cultural block in the south-west Kimberley region. Since 2001, the project has assisted young indigenous people at risk from suicide, drug and alcohol abuse and criminal activity by joining them with Elders and re-connecting them with their land and culture.
The funds collected go directly to Yiriman and help them to deliver genuine and positive results by responding to the needs, anti-social behaviour and profound social disadvantages that their young people face.
It was Dean who suggested to us a few years back that it would be a nice touch to give people free public transport to and from the event and we took this on in 2010. In 2012 we are offering free public transport again to punters as part of their ticket. With this in mind, we ask that you please tick the charity box to add $2.60 to your ticket which will go towards the Yiriman Project.
Dean was a lover of live music, a great friend, a true inspiration and leader in the local music scene. Our goal is to remember our friend as we are celebrating what he loved most: his family, friends and incredible music.

For nine years, Dean battled an extremely rare form of soft tissue cancer called dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP). This cancer became life threatening after it began to metastasize and cause various fatal tumours. Being a very private man, Dean chose to fight the cancer in a quiet and dignified manner. He displayed great courage and incredible stoicism. And above all else he had an unshakeable positive attitude throughout his long ordeal. His composure and grace during this time will never be forgotten and is an inspiration to us all.
As a founding member of Magic Dirt, Dean was the linchpin, the heart and soul of the band. He was the rock, the glue, the oracle, the cool filter. He was deeply dedicated and passionate about the music he made and the impact the band had on peoples lives. Dean always came up with fantastic ideas but he tempered these ideas with a rock solid work ethic and made them not only real but a success.
Dean's bass playing and sound is unique and unmistakable. With a great flow and organic playing style, Dean dug deep into his role as bass player, supporting and creating a bedrock, the backbone of the Magic Dirt sound. And fans will never forget his melodic riffing, heavy thunder, sonic shimmers and noise fests at Magic Dirt's live shows.
Dean worked tirelessly because music was one of the greatest joys in his life. Sadly, Dean had many projects and goals he wanted to achieve that will remain unrealised.
Dean championed a lot of Australian music, always interested in giving young bands a go, he was generous with his time and advice to those that sought his council. Dean was also a band manager, being instrumental in the rise of Brisbane band Violent Soho, he guided and tended the band and had an immensely positive impact on them. Dean was also an in demand producer. His vision and stabilizing effect in the recording studio allowed many bands the opportunity to realize their dreams of making great records. He produced such bands as Violent Soho, theredsunband, Gersey, Sons of the Sun and lastly worked on Adalita's (Magic Dirt's front woman) first solo album.
Dean also sat on VIC Rocks grants committee which he loved doing and he played an active role in giving artists the support they needed and was asked to return year after year by the board executives.
But the greatest joy and proudest achievement in Dean's life is his family. He was an extremely dedicated and loving father and husband. His wife Linda and two children were the loves of his life and he cherished them with all his being. In the last nine years during his battle with the cancer he did everything he could to stay with them despite the pain and suffering he was enduring. He had a profound effect on people, always leaving a warm and inspiring feeling.
The surviving Magic Dirt members, Adalita, Raul and Adam are absolutely devastated at their loss and cannot fathom a future without him. Above all else they will remember Dean as their beautiful and precious friend. Kind, gentle, very funny and witty, had impeccable taste, a joy to be around, a great storyteller, extremely trustworthy, honest, direct, a diamond mind.
They are so very proud of Dean's brave fight and will ensure that Dean's legacy of integrity and spirit in everything he did, lives on.
Magic Dirt's love and thoughts go out to Dean's family and to his wife Linda and two beautiful daughters.
MESSAGE from LINDA BOSIDIS-TURNER & MAGIC DIRT
On behalf of Dean's precious little girls Charlie & Evie, I'd like to extend my deep appreciation to anyone who generously donated to our daughters and provided support. I'm sorry that I have not been able to thank everyone individually but know that I am very grateful. Thank you, Linda
Thank you to all the fans for your incredible outpouring of love, care and support. We'd also like to acknowledge and thank all the wonderful bands, friends, venues and visual artists who were involved in putting together their own benefit shows in honour of Dean and in helping to contribute to his daughters trust fund. In gratitude, Adalita, Raul and Adam

Magic Dirt played a run of shows in late 2009 and released the White Boy EP in tribute to Dean Turner. The tour and the EP are among the final projects Dean worked on.
Dean founded Magic Dirt in 1992 and played bass in the band until he passed away on August 21, 2009. The band announced the run of shows as a loving tribute to their dear friend. It offered Magic Dirt and their fans an opportunity to give Dean the rousing and rowdy send-off he so richly deserved.
Adalita, Raul and Adam said when announcing the shows, "Dean loved playing live. He liked to play loud and hard and give it all he had. 110% all the way. We are so proud of Deans legacy and the gifts he has left with us all. His gifts of perseverance, passion and commitment to the music. And his endearing gifts of boyish fun, his invigorating and uplifting attitude on that long hard road and his pure punk rock spirit on stage, behind the scenes and around us at all times."
Among one of the final recording projects that Dean assembled was the White Boy EP. This EP contains 'White Boy', lifted from the band's latest album Girl as well as the track 'Summer High' featuring Rowland S Howard and produced by Dean. Other songs include 'Love Is The Armour' which features Gareth Liddiard from The Drones, two previously unreleased tracks 'Deep In A Net Of Red' and 'Valley Of The Rose' and 'Future Fuck' which is lifted off their 2008 tour ep.
There are only a few more copies existing of the limited edition White Boy EP. They are available to buy from good independent record stores and JB Hi Fi.
In conjunction with the release of the White Boy EP comes the White Boy video. Directed by Geelong wunderkid, Adam Harding, White Boy was shot in the eerie surrounds of the Old Geelong Gaol in Dec 1997. Adam came on the road with us in 2007 and shot the live footage that you see in the clip. We recommend the VIMEO link for high definition viewing.

Things to Remember During Template Formation (Measure)
Published May 27, 2015
Once you have chosen a granite type (or any other natural stone) for your countertop, the next few steps would be concerned with the finalizing of the total cost related to granite slabs, templating, and installation. There are many unexpected costs that may pop up related to electrical work, plumbing, working on uneven substrate surface, etc. which are in most cases unavoidable. Templating forms the basis of installation and if any crucial information is missed here, then you would not be able to get that perfect granite countertop that you have dreamt of.
Templating refers to the process of using a material (mostly plywood) to project the spatial arrangement present in the installation area onto this material taking into account all the spatial variables present or that will be present once the installation is complete. It is important that you are present at home when the fabricator or supplier's reps are measuring the countertop space. At the end of the process, they will ask you in written to authorize the templates so that there is no dispute later.
During measuring, it is important to discuss irregularities present in the surface (leveling required) or on the wall as well as if the wall is completely straight or curved at some point. Edge work needed should also be discussed so that the details such as overhang, thickness required, and the type of edge profile (square, bullnose, ogee, etc.) desired are clear and well-understood. When it comes to backsplash, length, height, and interruptions present should be taken into account. Once the sink cutouts for the top are created, the type required (under-mount or top-mount) should be discussed with the fabricator. Also, you must discuss the positioning of seams on the granite countertop depending on the appliances or other accessories that will be put consequently on the top. It is imperative that the cabinets are fitted before the measurement takes place because their positioning can alter the setting of the top.
Seams & Fissures on the Granite Countertop
Published May 18, 2015
While buying granite as a countertop material, there are many things in addition to cost that you must be well-informed about. In most cases, when you visit a stone dealer's showroom, you will be shown various types of granite samples. You can choose the required color & design from these samples; however, there are many things that could go wrong here. As granite is a natural stone, there are natural variations present in every slab which are unique to that slab. Hence, the sample alone is not sufficient to ensure that the entire countertop eventually fabricated would be the replica of this sample.
Granite is quarried in the form of blocks which are of different lengths. Due to this reason, creating a larger slab for a top requires joining of these different slabs together which results in seam formation. These seams are filled with epoxy and color pigments so as to bind the different slabs together and to match the color of the seam as close to the color of the slabs as possible. These seams may become quite apparent if the adjoining slabs as well as the color pigments used are not matched. As said earlier that being a natural product no two slabs would have the same exact color even if they are of the same type; but, it is not a difficult job to find slabs which are a close match in terms of color, veins and movements. Hence, you must ask to see the slabs that will be used to create your granite countertop.
Fissures are naturally occurring separations on the surface of a granite slab which may be mistaken for cracks. Granite is continuous over the fissure which means that unlike a crack there is no discernible depression formed on the surface. Hence, a countertop will not get affected in any way by these fissures which are natural variations found in many other natural stone as well.

Useful Tips for Marble Cleaning & Maintenance
Published May 15, 2015
Marble is the only natural stone which is more popular because of its aesthetics than the physical properties it exhibits. Apart from its looks, there are many other desirable qualities that make it a fierce competitor to granite & quartz countertops. However, it requires more care than its counterparts. As discussed in a recent blog post, marble is made up of calcite which goes under a chemical reaction when it comes in contact with anything acidic thus leading to etching. Also, being a porous material, it absorbs liquids which could leave dark marks on the surface. However, with a little bit of precaution, these problems can be minimized.
In previous posts we have seen that etching and staining are quite different and consequently the methods used to remove them from your marble countertop also differ. It is possible that the same spot on the top goes through etching as well as staining. In this scenario, etching is removed prior to staining due to the reason that etching facilitates the staining process and must be dealt first.
Etching on a polished marble countertop can be easily removed with a help of a good etch remover which will through the abrasion process restores the polish of the top. Until and unless the etching is so pronounced that you could feel the roughness with your fingers, you can remove the etching on your own by following the instructions given on the etch remover. These etch removers though are not meant for honed marble types because they will provide a shiny texture to the marble. In fact, honed marble is preferred over polished because it is hard to notice etches on a honed surface and after a while these etches just became a part of the beautiful patina developed by marble.
Staining, on the other hand, can easily be avoided by sealing the marble countertop thus blocking liquids from permeating the slab. In the case of a polished marble, there is a good chance that staining would not be a problem as the polishing material itself acts as a sealing agent. Even then if staining occurs (honed or polished), then make a paste of baking soda and water and apply it to the stained area in a circular motion and cover it with a plastic sheet for about a day. Remove the plastic sheet and clean the paste with a wet cloth. Instead of a paste of baking soda and water, you can also use hydrogen peroxide. Though, hydrogen peroxide should not be applied to a dark marble type as it will lighten the area on application. Caveat: These methods may not work on your marble type or may damage the surface as different marbles are honed, polished, and sealed differently.

The Weird Relationship Between Staining & Sealing
Published April 20, 2015
Staining & etching are two familiar words that go with the granite & marble countertops. Many natural stone sellers and experts recommend to seal the surface to arrest staining and that too every year or in every 3-5 years. However, not all types of granite (especially) have the same porosity. Some variants are so dense that they don't require sealing ever. In fact, they don't absorb sealers at all and the sealer just sits on the surface giving it a dull look. Depending on the absorption rate of the surface, even the layers of sealers required do vary. Hence, the so called 'rule of thumb' that every granite surface requires sealing and that too quite often is somewhat imprecise.
The primary constituent of a granite countertop is silica and in the case of a marble top it is calcite. These substances (silica & calcite) when come in contact with anything acidic, a chemical reaction takes place which corrodes or dulls the surface; this is what we call etching. It must be noted that etching is quite different from staining and sealers only help with the staining issues but are ineffective against etching. Staining happens when a liquid is absorbed through the surface and leaves a dark colored spot (against dull marks with etching) on the surface.
You can easily infer whether your granite countertop requires sealing or not with the help of a test. This simple test could be done with water but to check the extent of staining & etching it is better to do a lemon juice test. To start with, put some lemon juice on a small area (which is generally covered or unnoticed) and observe how quickly it darkens the area. If the darkening happens immediately, then the top is extremely porous and must be avoided. In the event the dark spot comes after 4-5 minutes, then the stone is reasonably non-porous and a sealer could be applied with three to four layers. If the darkening happens after 10-15 minutes, then the stone is quite dense and the sealer could be used but with a single layer only. If you see no darkening or perhaps after 30 minutes or so, then you have got a quality granite slab which absolutely doesn't need any sealer.
Granite being made up of silica shows high resistance to etching; however, these days calcite is mixed in the granite slabs which may expedite etching. After the staining test, wipe the lemon juice and check for any dullness (etching). If there is excessive dullness on the tested area in comparison to the rest of the top, then it is better to avoid such countertops.
Granite or Quartz: Which One is the Better Countertop Material?
Published April 14, 2015
Many people who are remodelling their kitchen generally do get stuck with the question that whether they should go with granite or the engineered quartz for their countertop. In a recent blog, we outlined some basic differences between the two in terms of composition & physical properties. However, the problem regarding the superior of the two when compared w.r.t. cost, design, and performance in ever day situations, is still unsolved. Marketers as well as avid fans of both materials sometimes exaggerate or conceal certain important attributes which makes the correct choice quite difficult. Let's try to objectively understand the salient features of both materials.
The range of quality granite slab per square foot could go from $ 30 to around $ 200, though for most remodelling plans the range from $ 45 to $ 100 is optimal. Quartz, on the other hand, ranges from around $ 50 to $ 100 but could be more expensive than this. It must be noted that the final installation charges may be significantly higher than what quoted, if you keep on including additional features such as complex edge work, cut-outs, etc. From the above price bands, it can be inferred that cost in both cases is quite similar and either of the materials could be chosen.
Engineered quartz doesn't need sealing as it is a non-porous material so maintenance is assumed to be negligible. Granite even being a porous natural stone doesn't require sealing in every case and if required it's extremely easy. However, both materials require regular cleaning as any other top material would. Granite is highly heat resistant but engineered quartz though quite efficient in handling hot objects may get damaged with persistent heat. Quartz which is also found in granite is the fourth toughest material on earth and therefore has exemplary scratch resistant properties. In fact, granite for most practical situations also offer the same scratch resistant properties. Unlike granite, quartz may show signs of discoloration when exposed to sunlight for a long period of time.
Designing including movement and veining differ in granite & engineered quartz. Granite being a natural stone has unique movements and patterns that differ from one granite slab to another. Engineered quartz is more preferred by those who want to have uniform patterns rather than uneven natural movements. Hence, the choice here comes down to individual preferences. Engineered quartz, though, could replicate the natural patterns of granite through the customized manufacturing process.
There was a time when quartz used to be appreciably more expensive than granite but huge improvements in the manufacturing technologies have reduced the price gap between the two. Even the physical properties during normal kitchen activities do not differ significantly. So the final decision is more contingent on the individual preferences than anything else.
Experiment with Different Edge Profiles to Add Panache to Your Countertop
Published April 3, 2015
With the season of spring well & truly arrived in Missouri, many kitchen remodelling enthusiasts are looking for new ideas to enliven their kitchen space. As complete makeover of your kitchen will cost you a fortune, the more prudent option would be to go for a countertop change. Countertop being the cynosure of any kitchen, could dramatically change the entire aesthetic of your kitchen. As the options in the material, design, and price galore when it comes to tops, you will surely be spoiled for choices.
Most people think that edge profiles are purely for aesthetic purposes with no other value; however, they are critical with regards to cleaning, safety, and maintenance of the top. There are different types of edge profiles available with several variants within the same type. Rather than approving a profile by checking sketches or online samples, it is recommended to visit a store or a fabricator shop to go through tangible samples and feel the edge designs. Granite & quartz countertops being quite hard, allow various profiles to be used for the design.
Square edge profile is the simplest one which is devoid of curves; though to make tops safe for use, installers do slightly curve the edges. To give an appearance of extra-thick edges, square edge profiles could be mitered. Eased & mitered profile provides marginally eased edge with rounded corners that makes cleaning the top easier and minimizes the chipping as seen with the traditional square profile. Bullnose is the most used and famous edge profile in which the entire edge as well as the corners are rounded thus lending a smooth finish to the top. Demi-bullnose on the other hand is rounded from the top and straightened at the end. Ogee edge profile, another traditional option used with granite, marble & quartz countertops, has two continuous semi-rounded curves that add to the elegance of the top.
There are numerous edge profiles available within the aforementioned designs as well as completely different ones too. The cost of these profiles also vary and generally increases with the increase in the design complexity.
Know the Fundamental Differences Between Granite & Quartz Countertops
Published March 16, 2015
Granite and quartz are natural stone that offer various desired properties which make them a popular choice for kitchen & vanity tops. There are many misconceptions about these two materials that eventually hinder the selection process. It is imperative that you are well aware of their different properties such that you can make an informed decision about which of these two natural stone would be ideal for your kitchen space. Located in St. Louis, Missouri, we thoroughly discuss merits & demerits of various materials with our clients so that they could make the right selection when it comes to granite & quartz countertops.
The basic distinction between them comes from their composition which also in many ways affect their properties and appeal. Granite used for making tops is the same as quarried and nothing else is mixed into it. Hence, you could not find two slabs of granite that are replica of each other and therefore while choosing it, you must inspect the entire slab rather than just a small part of it. Quartz on the other hand, which is also a key ingredient of granite, is not used in its natural form to create countertops. Typically, quartz slabs have around 93-95 % natural quartz which is mixed with 7-5% of resins. Because of this reason, commercially used quartz is known as engineered quartz. The color pigments added to it are bound together with these resins which also provide a smooth surface to the stone.
Because of this manufacturing process, engineered quartz happens to be more durable and flexible than granite. Also, it is non-porous such that staining and bacterial growth are absent in quartz tops. Whereas, granite surfaces being porous are needed to be sealed periodically. Unlike granite, engineered quartz slabs can be replicated such that you can match your kitchen and bathroom space seamlessly. Though, due to the presence of resins, engineered quartz should not be exposed to direct sunlight (UV rays) as prolonged exposure might lead to discoloration and breakdown of the resin binder. Granite on the other hand doesn't have this problem and it also exhibits way better heat-resistant properties.
Cost, once a primary distinguishing point between granite and quartz, has ceased to be the most relevant demarcator today. Traditionally, quartz used to be appreciably more expensive than most of the granite varieties but with the advent of highly efficient manufacturing processes the prices of engineered quartz have become comparable to third & higher levels of granite. You can visit our production facility/showroom in St. Louis, Missouri and we will provide you with the best prices possible for granite & quartz countertops.
Create Riveting Contrasts in Your Kitchen with Absolute Black Granite Countertops
Published March 12, 2015
Granite for quite some time now has been the darling of the countertop industry. It is seen as a favorable natural stone alternative to both quartz & marble because it seamlessly incorporates the best properties of these materials. Absolute Black, a famous variant of granite, lends an astounding contrast to the kitchen space when used against the lighter shade cabinets & accessories. Located in St. Louis, Missouri, we offer quality Absolute Black granite countertops at best possible market prices.
Absolute Black is available in polished as well as in honed finish. Both options have their own advantages and characteristics; however, honed finish is more preferred (as with marble too) because it allows the natural aesthetics of veining & movements to become more pronounce. This also gives the top a more subtle & sophisticated look which is similar to the patina developed by marble overtime thus providing the best of both worlds to the customers! Though the dark shade of the top does cleverly camouflage dirt on the surface but you still got to be very careful as without polished finish granite is quite susceptible to staining.
We also provide other types of black granite countertops in the St. Louis, Missouri area such as Impala Black, Labrador Golden Flake, and New Brazil Black. The best place to find black granite is India which has almost half of all known granite varieties; though, you can also find the black variant in places such as China, Zimbabwe, and Uruguay. Granite is quite popular choice for tops because it can provide high durability as given by quartz and at the same time could be as captivating as marble. Also, it has exemplary heat resistance properties and if sealed well, it exhibits remarkable immunity to both, etching as well as staining.
Kitchen Cabinets: Important Features of Wood to Consider
Published February 11, 2015
Choosing the right wood type for your kitchen cabinets requires a good knowledge of various characteristics of wood and how they change from one type to another. Three important characteristics of any wood are grain, type, and color. Selection of wood to match the aesthetics of the kitchen space is generally contingent on these three factors. These three factors are briefly discussed below.
Any wood type that you will find could be named as softwood or hardwood. As the name suggests, hardwood types are tend to be harder/denser than the softwood variants though it's not necessarily true as some wood types belonging to the softwood family are quite strong. This distinction, more & less, comes from the way these trees germinate. Hardwood trees typically have broad leaves that are shed every year whereas softwood trees are evergreen and keep their needle all through the year. Some popular hardwood types include maple, oak, cherry, etc. On the other hand, famous softwoods include pine, cedar and spruce.
It refers to the natural pattern, texture or movement found in wood which is unique to every wood type. Common grain patterns include straight (broad/fine lines parallel to the axis of tree), spiral (round lines around the axis) and interlocked (spiral lines in both directions). It is important to choose a grain pattern that complements the measurements of your kitchen such that the entire space appears voluminous. You can visit our St. Louis, Missouri showroom to check kitchen & bathroom cabinets available in numerous grain patterns.
There are myriad color options available that range from mild/soft tones to darker hues. Maple, a popular and quite extensively used hardwood, is available in creamy white to pale reddish brown variants. Cherry, a premium wood, comes in golden yellow to deep red variants. Depending on finishing, some economical wood types could also resemble more expensive ones. Operating within the Greater St. Louis area, we offer maple kitchen & bathroom cabinets in several colors such as mahogany maple, mocha maple glazed, Expresso maple, cinnamon maple glazed, chocolate maple glazed, and crème maple glazed.

Things to Know before Installing a Vanity Top
Published February 5, 2015
Bathroom happens to be more susceptible to wear & tear than kitchen, and thus requires a vanity top that not only looks elegant but is also highly functional. A bathroom top has to endure soap, cosmetics, gels, water, heat, etc. on daily basis and it is not prudent to use a top material which is soft, porous, and susceptible to heat. Also, it acts as a connecting point for the vanity cabinets below and the tile wall above. Located in St. Louis, Missouri, we offer quality bathroom & kitchen vanity tops as well as wood cabinets at best possible market prices.
Out of many options available for vanity top material such as natural stone, laminate, wood, glass, concrete, etc., only natural stone tend to give the required elegance and durability needed in a busy space like bathrooms. Not only this, natural stone tend to give a more stylish and sophisticated look to the entire space which is quite helpful during resale. Granite these days happens to be the most popular choice because of its high durability, excellent heat resistant ability and high aversion to etching if sealed properly. You can visit our showroom in St. Louis, Missouri, to choose from various levels of granite slabs available for vanity tops.
Marble is also loved as a top material especially for its elegance and high resistivity to heat. Though it does etch more than granite and may not be liked by everyone. A honed marble though after some time develops a captivating patina which makes stains appreciably less detectable in most cases. Engineered quartz deserves to be mentioned here as it has the highest durability and doesn't need to be sealed as it is non-porous. It is available in numerous designs and colors that could replicate granite & marble tops. Contrary to popular belief, quartz is not extremely expensive and its prices are quite comparable to most high-end granite & marble variants.

Gainesville Planning and Appeals Board voted 4-2, enough
of a majority to seal a recommendation to City Council, to
deny Smereczynsky's request to rezone the Waters Edge Drive
lot from residential-1 to residential-2.
The co-owner of Building Systems Network in Gaines-ville
said later he thought he had a chance, despite staff calling
his application spot zoning and about 40 neighbors turning
out in opposition.
But Smereczynsky attorney George Butler suggested that the
denial and the likelihood of the same before City Council
on May 2 bolsters their side.
"Certainly, it moves the ball forward," Butler
said. "We have to give the city the opportunity to do
the right thing."
Neighbors think the city has since revoking permits for the
home in midconstruction last March. Permits for a similar
home in the Lake Lanier subdivision off McEver Road also were
Gainesville has repeatedly won in court. A suit filed by
Smereczynsky is before the state Court of Appeals.
City code restricts industrialized homes, which are built
in factories and assembled on site, to multifamily (residential-2),
agricultural-residential and residential-office districts.
Smereczynsky's argu- ment, backed by the state Department
of Community Affairs, is that stance violates state law.
During the meeting at the Georgia Mountains Center, Linda
Youngblood of Waters Edge asked if zoning the lot for multifamily
sets a precedent.
"It would open a door," said Danny Dunagan, board
Afterward, Youngblood questioned the quality of industrialized
homes and the possibility that one nearby will shrink her
home's value.
"We appreciate the board supporting the people who already
have homes in the subdivision," she said.
Butler had pitched the request as simply allowing completion
of the home.
Yet, board member Chris Jones motioned to deny, saying later
that approving a residential-2 lot in a residential-1 subdivision
with many tracts undeveloped will "give people ammunition
when they come in front of us" with similar requests.
Smereczynsky has said the built-for-sale home appraises at
A mortgage dealer spoke in his favor Tuesday.
David Jones of the Waters Edge homeowners association said
the neighborhood agreed with the planning staff.
He also said Butler's assertion that his client is willing
to meet with homeowners was a first, and that a letter Smereczynsky's
wife sent some neighbors was inflammatory.
The letter criticized opponents, said they had damaged her
family and children, and hoped God held them responsible.
Smereczynsky said his wife had tried to work with some neighbors.
"We didn't have a very warm reception to even talk."
He had said in February he had no doubt the zoning request
will be turned down, honing issues he faces in pending citations
concerning the home.

We're delighted to be offering a limited number of copies of the latest publication from The Fleece Press, 'Dunbar Hay Ltd 1935-40, and the achievements of Cecilia Dunbar Kilburn' by Simon Lawrence
Founded in 1936 by Cecilia Dunbar Kilburn and Athole Hay, this London gallery (the term shop was actually their preferred term) was created as a marriage bureau for promising young designers (mostly Royal College of Art graduates) and industry. Within four years it had closed for the war, and its stock and records destroyed by bombing. There is virtually no paper record, nor any photographs of the shop, but a 1979 lecture given by Cecilia Dunbar Kilburn (by then Lady Sempill) serves as a starting point to recreate the goods and ethos of the shop, which has been immortalised by a flamboyant two-colour trade card engraved by Eric Ravilious.
Lady Sempill's lecture is reprinted in full, with a memoir by her daughter Gabriel Sempill, and an essay of about 26,000 words by Simon Lawrence on the artists involved with the shop and their wares including Eric Ravilious, Edward Bawden and Enid Marx.
To be featured in July 2017's issue of The World of Interiors.
• 172 pages
• Size 230 × 230 mm
• Presented in a solander box with an original copy of the Eric Ravilious trade card (printed in 1938) plus a piece of hand-printed organdie fabric by Enid Marx.
Special Edition limited to 120 copies (also available as a standard edition without the trade card, fabric and solander box)
PLEASE NOTE: UK delivery is included within the price of this book. Standard delivery rates apply for other destinations.

Everyone needs a quick, breath-refresher during the day. It's nice to know that when you put a Spry Gem into your mouth you're not only getting a fresh, clean mouth, but you are also helping it be healthier too.
Spry Gems are made in the United States with natural ingredients, the most important being xylitol. Xylitol is a natural sweetener, which promotes dental health. Because it doesn't allow bacteria to stick to teeth and oral tissues, the bacteria can't flourish. This means they can't produce tooth-damaging acid like they normally would. Spry Gems also have added calcium to help with tooth re-mineralization.
All this adds up to your mouth being happy and healthy.
- Natural Berry flavor is an irresistible fusion of blackberry and raspberry essences.
- Sweetened with 100% xylitol to hydrate dry tissues and provide on-the-go oral care.
- Dentist recommended due to their oral health benefits and ability to clean teeth.
- Natural Ingredients eliminate the need to worry about eating aspartame and other chemicals.
- Fortified with Calcium to aid in the remineralization of tooth enamel.

Sourced from non-GMO corncobs and stalks - used as a natural sweetener, a moisturizer, and for its anti-adhesive effect on bacteria.
Natural Berry Flavor
Sourced from raspberry and blackberry essence to infuse a fresh and fruity flavor.
Beet Powder
Sourced from non-GMO beets to add a lovely color.
Calcium Glycerophosphate
Sourced from mineral deposits and used as a supplement for remineralization. It protects the enamel in teeth and balances pH.
Stearic Acid
Sourced from plants and used as an anti-adherent agent.
Magnesium Stearate
Sourced from sea water, or brine, combined with plant-based stearic acid for use as an anti-adherent.
Facts Panel
Numerous clinical studies have shown that in order to maximize the oral health benefits of xylitol, you must continue exposing your teeth and oral tissues throughout the day. The Spry Dental Defense System offers a complete assortment of natural oral care products with xylitol to make this exposure as convenient as possible. We recommend following our SPRY FOR 5 program.
For best results: eat Spry Xylitol Gems Mints, or a combination of other xylitol products in the Spry Dental Defense product line, at least five times throughout the day.

A number of engineering trains occupy most of the track as far as Goldhawk Road Station, each with a battery loco at each end. As far as I know there are 29 of these still in stock, with probably 16 just about visible here. In fact a further 6 were on trains in the station behind the photographer. Most of the locos have been refurbished with new cab-front walkways and handrails. Nearest the camera is L50, built by BREL Doncaster in 1974. This one was notable for lacking high-level drawgear and buffers.

16w. ATROCIOUS picture sans makeup because I was feeling like CRUD!
How far along? 16 weeks (I do these a week behind as a recap of the previous week, so I'm actually 17 weeks today.)
Total weight gain/loss: +1.4 lbs so I'm 118.4 lbs. For someone who eats the same thing every dang day (for the past three and a half months), I'm surprised I've consistently gone up in weight. I saw my OBGYN on Friday, and she reassured me that the speedy increase in weight was perfectly fine. I'm sure I'll plateau sooner or later- I always do!
Maternity clothes: Yes! Since I've popped, regular pants have been seriously uncomfortable. I basically live in yoga pants, tights and my maternity pants. It's crazy!
Stretch marks? None yet...
Sleep: Initially falling asleep isn't so bad... it's falling back asleep that's the problem!
Best moment this week: Hearing Lamby's heartbeat!! It's so strong!!
Worst moment of the week: It's not really a low point, but it's the worst overall- I guess. Crissy and I babysat his nieces and nephew for the long weekend. I was the main caregiver since Crissy was busy for the majority of the morning and afternoon. I juggled three kids under ten- even one learning how to go to the potty. By the end of the night, my whole body was aching sore and I pulled my left arm (which was already tender from the damn flu shot)!! I hate being sore (when it's not because of working out)!!
Miss anything? Sleeping on my tummy!
Movement: Here and there I feel tiny kicks like I did at my NT ultrasound
Food cravings: NOPE! On that note, for the past couple of weeks, I've been able to eat anything I want- meat included. Cristhian thought that meant I would eat as I normally do, well, sorry buddy! I eat what I want and don't what I don't! I eat 95% vegetarian and 5% meat... every other day.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No, sir!
Have you started to show yet: YESSSS! It's insane how large and in charger my uterus has grown and stretched!
Gender Prediciton: The anatomy scan is next week!
Labor signs: Nope!
Symptoms: My tummy is getting hairier and hairier... YUCK! Plus, I've noticed this since I was 8w (I thought it would've gone away ages ago! Argh!), I've gotten tiny bumps on my forehead. I haven't had zits on my forehead since I was 10. What. The. Hell. Also, my areolas are definitely larger than they once were.
Belly button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time? Neutral, but I did go through a day and a half of the pregnancy blues. Yuck!
Looking forward to: Anatomy scan!

A Tippecanoe County mother who pleaded guilty to molesting her infant son will serve out her 40-year sentence after the Indiana Supreme Court granted transfer to her case and affirmed her sentence Wednesday.
One day while giving her 1-year-old son a bath, Jessica McCain placed her mouth on his penis and recorded the incident on a cell phone with the intent of sending the video to her boyfriend, at his urging. She agreed to plead guilty to Level 1 felony child molesting, an offense that carries a 30-year advisory term.
The Tippecanoe Superior Court, however, sentenced the mother to 40 years, with 38 years executed and two years suspended to probation, considering her position of control over the victim and his age. She appealed, and the Indiana Court of Appeals reduced her sentence to 30 years in September.
The state then sought transfer, which a majority of the Indiana Supreme Court voted to grant in a Wednesday opinion. The high court then reinstated McCain's 40-year sentence in a per curiam opinion, finding the trial court's sentence was not inappropriate under Indiana Appellate Rule 7(B) and did not warrant appellate revision.
Justice Geoffrey Slaughter voted to deny transfer.
The case is Jessica McCain v. State of Indiana, 18S-CR-26.

To the agro-food industry, it's a miracle plant. To NGOs and indigenous groups, it's a threat to the environment. How can a single plant — the oil palm — cause such controversy? Alain Rival and CIFOR's Patrice Levang tackle these questions in their book "Palms of controversies: Oil palm and development challenges," newly translated into English and Spanish. The problem, they write, is not the plant but how it is grown.
More than 60 leading forestry, agriculture and development organizations will be part of the 2014 Global Landscapes Forum—and so can you. Newly confirmed speakers include leaders from across the globe: Paraguay Environment Minister Cristina Morales, Norway's Climate and Forests Initiative head Per Pharo and the OECD's lead on climate change, Simon Buckle, will explore opportunities for a new climate deal. Beyond the two-day event itself, the Forum offers numerous opportunities to get engaged:
Recent op-eds in reputable publications suggest that Ebola outbreaks could be avoided if people stopped eating wild meat. This argument is unsound, experts Robert Nasi and John E. Fa write, and owes to a misunderstanding of human diseases—and a troubling double standard when it comes to afflictions in Africa.
The Green Climate Fund has drafted a logic model and a performance measurement framework for REDD+ results-based payments—"a powerful incentive for more and more developing countries to start implementing REDD+," a REDD negotiator from a developing country said.
The negotiator said that the logic model, which has yet to be approved, can help establish predictability and sustainability in REDD+ finance if it does not create further requirements for accessing REDD+ funds.

CIFOR's research on gender and forests was a hot topic at the IUFRO World Congress in Salt Lake City in October. In a keynote speech, CIFOR's Carol Colfer decried the lack of social science training among forestry institutions, urging a stronger focus on gender relations. Meanwhile, CIFOR launched a new guidebook on integrating gender into Adaptive Collaborative Management methods.
Policymakers working on forests and climate change in Central Africa often lack knowledge of fundamental concepts of those issues, according to a sobering new study. The research points to a greater need for capacity-building in the countries that are home to the world's second-largest area of tropical forest.

Who can Write my Paper Online?
Many times, for students, it is hard to get some of their essays done. Usually this is with the larger essays, but even then, it can be with some of the smaller ones as well. Between school, study time, and work, as many students have to work as well. This can cause issues with time management. And unless the student wants to stay up till three or four in the morning, there is not much they can do about it. This is where freelance writers come in, and student help sites as well.
- Freelancers
- Student Help Sites
- Essay Writing services
Many freelance writers will write essays for students. All that they need, is an outline of what the instructor wants, and a copy of the student's research. A good freelancer will check the information to the best of their ability, as usually they do not have access to the books that a student does. But they will check to make sure the links, and information are correct. They will also do a quick look for anything that might help improve the essay, another site that has more information, or breaks the information down better. Then write it in accordance to what the instructions are. Freelancers are usually professional, or experienced writers, that are good at what they do.
Student Help Sites
Many student help sites, are also essay writing services. Or they offer some level of writing for students. They can help a student a lot, and work the same way as most freelancers, in that they need; the instructions, and the student's research. They can be either cheaper, to more expensive, it all depends on the site itself. Student help sites usually check the quality of their writer's before they are hired to actually write for them. This means the quality is known before they ever touch a student's work.
Essay Writing Services
Essay writing services, can be either online, or local. Both exist, and can be very helpful. Like the student help sites, they use qualified professionals that have either worked in education, or have professional experience. Either way, this means the writing will be quality. Again, these places can be cheaper to more expensive to freelancers, as it depends on the place. Most of these, even local, have their sites online, and can be reached very easily.
Student help sites, and Essay Writing services, being as closely related as they are, have to be very careful about the people that write for them. Many student's grades depend on this, and the company's reputation is based on this.

Dolly Dimples was once the leading retail chain restaurant in Norway however, they have been overtaken by Peppes Pizza in recent years and suffers from declining foot traffic, receding revenue, and stagnant social media traction.
Jørgen the store general manager having been confronted with these complex problems, and no apparent way to solve them began doing marketing promotions through MIMCoups.
MIMCoups designed a promotional campaign designed to help raise in store traffic be brining new and raise customers into the store, as well as drive social media awareness.
Jørgen's Conclusion
Dolly Dimples location in Drammen clearly befitted from MIMCoups promotions. Based on the data this stores location and the other relevant factors, we believe its fair to extrapolate Dolly Dimples as an organisation could easily experience increased store traffic, higher brand favourability, more social media buzz and potential higher revenue, by using a coordinated strategic plan for their entire enterprise.

Tony De Luca isn't playing any sports in this scene from Bentley Race, but he sure is swinging around a huge bat! That weapon of ass destruction can't be contained by that diesel jockstrap of his. He pulls the pouch to the side and look at out! Watch him wave it around, jerk it, and then Bentley suck it.
Once he pulls that pouch aside and that lethal weapon falls out, it can't go back in. His ass is beautifully framed by the straps. It's thick and veiny - bigger at the head. It looks unreal. That cock hangs halfway to his knees. You can tell it's got a hefty weight as it swings around. His biceps must get a real workout when he picks it up to stroke it.

Before treating us to an excerpt, Christy Reveals:
From where do you get inspiration and what inspired you to write Maybe Too Good to be True?
Having children is such a blessing. I am sickened when I hear about a child who has been verbally/ mentally abused. Part of the inspiration for Maybe too Good to Be True, came from my growing awareness of the damage done to children whose parents harshly criticize, humiliate and degrade them. In the back story, Gabrielle's father wasn't deliberately cruel, but he was controlling and manipulative, bullying her into doing what he wanted her to do. By the time Gabrielle became a beautiful, vibrant young adult; her self esteem and belief in her talent were badly eroded. Part of the story line is her struggle to become the woman she was destined to be.
In a couple of sentences, describe the hero's character. What do you like best/least about him?
Pierce Hastings is a shrewd, strategist who usually achieves his goals in business and his personal life. He doesn't steam roll anyone; he simply finesses them into agreeing with him. As a friend, he is loyal, supportive, honest, and generous. His divorce knocked him off balance and he's struggling to get his life and priorities together. His least attractive quality is his meddling—his family calls him the "fixer," because he wants to make sure his friends or family get what they want. Pierce considers himself a work in progress, and he's tackling his control issues. His most redeeming quality is the respect and friendship he shows to everyone, from the gardener to the governor of Massachusetts—he treats them equally.
And the heroine? How do you relate to her? In spite of Gabrielle's father usurping her self esteem, she is opinionated and not afraid to speak her mind. She has an aversion to wealthy people who lead lives of privilege and make no contribution to society. Unlike her, I grew up in fairly normal, two parent family. Having said that, I had a mother who pushed me to be the best, never satisfied with what I'd accomplished, knowing I could always have done MORE. As a result, I decided nothing I could do would earn her highest praise, so I shifted my focus to accomplishing my goals, for me. Gabrielle and I had different upbringing, but we both need to concentrate on pleasing ourselves.
Have you ever suffered from writer's block? What would be your tips to overcome it? Absolutely. Start writing anything. Put two people in a coffee shop. The pretty waitress spills a pot of coffee on a cop. Write their conversation. It's amazing how you can go from zero to "I'm writing" just by a simple writing prompt.
Do you have a writing routine? I write in three chunks each day: 9am to 1:30, 2pm to 5:30pn and 10pm to 12am. I have 2 Labs as my office assistants and have to feed them lunch and toss the ball a few minutes here and there. Usually I put my meals, breakfast and lunch, on a tray and eat in my office on my desk. I like to stay connected to writing all day. First thing, I check my emails and answer the highest priorities. Then I get off the internet—a huge time waster—and do nothing but write. My late night chunk is returning emails, blog stuff and some writing. This is my weekday schedule. If I'm at home on the weekends, I usually write four hours a day.
What would you most like to accomplish this year? I want to finish my next contemporary, Too Close for Comfort and write my first paranormal, a dark ghost story.
What is your culinary speciality? First, let me say that my husband is a much better cook than I am. However, the few things I do cook are pretty good. My favourite is beef Stroganoff. Heavy on the wine, lots of fresh mushrooms, served over wild rice with asparagus on the side.
"I hope this will put you at ease, Mr. Hastings. I own the newspaper. It's been several years since I single-handedly set out to ruin anyone."
Sarcasm, even with a lovely Southern accent, was still sarcasm.
"I see." Pierce sounded duly impressed. "That's certainly an accomplishment for such a young …" He froze when her eyes narrowed. What the hell was wrong with him? He careened from one blunder to the next.
"Tell me, is it my age or the fact that I'm a woman that bothers you?" Her face was considerably more colorful than the rest of her and he knew it had nothing to do with the heat.
Pierce was no chauvinist and certainly had no prejudice against successful females. After all, he'd been married to a talented trial attorney. Hadn't he put his wife through law school? Hadn't he supported Glenna in every way until she made partner in her firm and then announced that she'd changed her mind about having children and, by the way, she didn't want to be his wife anymore either.
"I didn't mean that you weren't responsible." His eyes returned to the very entertaining Miss March who had just snapped up the ball and was ready to run with it.
"What would someone like you know about responsibility anyway? You've probably never put in an honest day's work in your entire over-privileged life. Flying around the world trying to stay one step ahead of reality. One of these days you're going to have to come down to earth and see what it's like in the real world."
Where did the woman get her information? She'd obviously pegged him as some sort of wealthy derelict. Fired up, she was something. Misinformed maybe, but she had balls of steel. "For a newspaper woman, you're lacking in your facts, Miss...."

Saracens Women win season opener
Saracens Women opened their Premiership campaign with a tight 19-22 victory away to London rivals, Wasps Ladies.
Wasps drew first blood in the local derby with winger Becca Rowe dotting down and Edwards converting to put the home side up 7-0. Having recently joined Saracens fresh from the USA's World Cup campaign, Emilie Bydwell used her experience to speed around the outside to score moments later on her debut, but the try was not converted.
Saracens continued to attack at pace with lock, Poppy Cleall breaking through the Wasps defence and the ball then recycled quickly out to the left wing where flanker Maggie Alphonsi touched down in the corner. Wasps retaliated with another (unconverted) try from Rowe and a penalty from Edwards before halftime, putting the home side up 12-10 at half time.
The second half saw a continuation of the fast, dynamic rugby from both sides. Strong runs from Casey and new signing Vicky Fleetwood gave Saracens good field position allowing Lauren Cattel to sneak down the blindside and score in the corner.
Saracens displayed their dominance at scrum time as no. 8 Sonia Green picked from the base to set up Alphonsi for her second try minutes before the final whistle, stretching Saracens to a ten point lead. Wasps however had the final word as winger, Michaela Staniford dotted down out wide. Edwards converted to bring the match to a close. Wasps 19 – Saracens 22.
Saracens Women travel down to the West country this weekend to meet Bristol.

Treadmills are one of the most purchased exercise equipment for the home. The reasons for purchasing one can be varied; but the most common reasons are the fact that they are effective for fitness and weight loss, and walking or running is a natural movement that most have been doing their entire life.
Because of these benefits, the machine is very popular, and sports stores have no problem selling them. That is why fitness fads come and go but the treadmill is always around and always sells well.
The first thing you need to consider before making this big purchase is why you are buying a machine. Your reasons could be to lose weight, tone up, stay in shape, or may be rehabilitate after an injury.
The reason for your purchase, along with a few other factors, will help you determine how much you should spend. If you have not put much thought into it yet, you should assess your wants, needs, and goals.
You should never begin seriously shopping for exercise equipment without determining how much to spend, unless you want to pay too much. This may seem obvious but many people have no idea how much the equipment costs, and are usually surprised at the price tag of high end machines.
Many people are also totally oblivious in regards to the amount they want to spend on the equipment. So, in order to avoid the shock inside of the store, you should determine your budget before you even start looking.
If you cannot afford a $ 3,000 treadmill, then do not even consider it. A common mistake is people start looking at the high end and work their way down; this will only lead to disappointment, so start with the lower end models and work your way up.
Determine the maximum amount you can spend. You may need a better treadmill, but only spend what you can afford at the moment.
If you have used a treadmill in the past, and you used it simply for walking, then it does not really make sense to buy one that is designed to train marathon runners. Buy a machine that you will actually use to its full capacity.
If you will not use the added features then do not pay for the extras. A good basic model may be all you need, or you may need one with full programmability and heart rate control features.
If you exercise pretty regularly, then you should probably purchase a higher quality machine. The reason is that if you have a pattern of consistent exercise and you are like most people, you will not buy equipment that will meet your needs.
If you have a track record of consistent use, buy a model that will allow you to have intense workout without having to worry about the machine collapsing. You should determine your needs and select the options you want before you go shopping.
It is like buying a car, appliances, a new home, or other large purchases. If the seller can get you emotional about things you do not need, he or she has a good chance of selling them to you.
You do not want to get home and regret your purchase so give yourself some time to think about it. Simply find the features that you want and if the dealer brings up an option that sounds great, consider it, but remember that you do not have to buy it immediately.
Who will be using the treadmill should be an important factor when you buy. This is important because a single user that weighs 110 lbs. will need a much different treadmill than a family of 4 that has 2 people over 200 lbs.
For each person, who is using the treadmill on a regular basis, you should upgrade the level in quality so that the equipment will last longer. If you have a tiny space to place it in, you will not be able to buy a large commercial unit, even if you can afford it.
You want to make sure you see the treadmill every day so that you are reminded and encouraged to actually use it. Space may necessitate a treadmill that can fold up or you may need to limit the weight of a unit if it will rest upstairs in an older home.
