The first thing you need to figure out is what your board will be used for. Will it be for occasional use or for heavy traffic use? Once you determine that you need to decide whether you want a mounted board or a free standing board. There are two types of board’s melamine and porcelain steel.

The melamine board is for occasional use because the clear coat on the top tends to wear away after a while. The porcelain steel is better if you will be using your board on a regular basis. It is a little more expensive but it is better in the long run.

The next thing to decide is whether you are able to mount the board on a wall, or if you have the space you can have a freestanding board. If you are a teacher you may want the lap boards for the kids.

You may also want a white board skin, which is something you can put over the old chalkboards. The reason that most people have changed over to white boards is because they are chalk dust free, which is great for allergy sufferers and it protects the computers.

The main thing you want to look for in a white board is the sturdiness, the ghosting or fading effect and the durability. Check your budget and get the board that best suits your needs and your pocket. Once you have it narrowed down to the type of board you need, you must remember to take care of it so it will last a long time.

Something needed to run the island in the garden wedding. Blaaa to a quartet or harpist?!

Hi All, We are in a garden / bush Catholic marriage. Im not harpist or string quartet for the whole thing, although I prefer something as apposed to nothing, I dont like the idea for a CD in a portable CD player. So whats something else, a little Modern .. preferably life I can walk on the island? Ta.

What about acoustic guitar, piano, congas or a combination of one of these. with or without vocals. You play with a live band for your reception? maybe they could play for the ceremony. acoustic energy on something if you do not have the wedding location. if you power to ask your DJ to play during the ceremony have a friend I do, he was very out of the way and she walked up the aisle to this amazing moby mellow mix. I do not know what your taste in music, but there are many possibilities! (steel drums, Hawaiian steel guitar, harmonica, etc.)
