Usually, if a claim has a value of £5,000 or less, it will be dealt with by the small claims track. Where the value of a claim is between £5,000 and £15,000 it will usually be dealt by the fast track and where the value of the claim is more than £15,000 it will be dealt with in the multi track. The ultimate decision on whether a case will go down a particular track is that of the court. Continue reading
Lifetime gifts and potentially exempt transfers
Potentially exempt transfer and residual benefits
One of the most common methods of planning to reduce or eradicate liability for inheritance tax (IHT) is for assets to be given away while a person is alive. If the person transferring the assets survives for 7 years, the gift is free of tax, if he or she dies within 7 years, there is a sliding scale for tax as the asset goes back into the estate.
The biggest single problem when giving away assets is where the person gifting the asset retains some form of residual benefit, such as continuing to live in a property, to receive some income from an asset and so forth, or in retaining any legal rights on the asset. Therefore the transferor is at the mercy of the transferees and if it is found that an income or such like is paid over from the transferee to the transferor, this will be classified as tax avoidance.
As an example of the legal difficulties which can arise, a recent case dealt with a situation in which a very valuable leasehold property in Knightsbridge was put into trust and a complex arrangement devised and the trust then sublet the property to a nominee company. This scheme was caught out by a technicality in that certain contractual covenants on the property still placed some legal obligation s on the transferor who therefore still retained some form of interest in the property.
This is a particularly technical example of what can happen, but bearing in mind the Inland Revenue are now particularly aggressive in challenging estates which would otherwise result in payment of IHT, all aspects need to be considered, great care taken, and experienced and specialist legal advice obtained.
Warranties, undertakings & representations
Warranties, Undertakings and Representations
These terms are synonymous with any contract in which any transaction between a buyer and a seller, however, they are often used in the wrong terms and even more common is that they are misunderstood by the buyers and seller themselves.
Quick Definitions
An undertaking is a statement agreeing to do a certain act in the future. The wording of an undertaking doesn't have to actually include the word "undertake" although it often will. Other phrases which will be tantamount to an undertaking include "shall" or "agree" for example.
An undertaking however cannot be made on the use of the words "will" or "must do". These are because the use of the word "will" indicates that the party involved has some intention to complete a certain act rather than an obligation and "must" is ungrammatical and therefore would not be being used in its correct way.
Undertakings are sometimes referred to as a "covenant", they mean exactly the same thing.
A warranty is a statement which is made by a party of a current fact. The receiver of a warranty is able to hold the giver of a warranty liable if at the time that fact was not correct. An example of this can be given is if a seller in an share sale of a company tells the buyer that there is currently no staff suing the company for unfair dismissal and it turns out after the sale that there is in fact two staff who have unfair dismissal cases waiting to be heard at the Employment Tribunal.
Under common law, warrants are described as a term which doesn't go to the heart of a contract and will only become applicable if there is proved to be a breach. If there is shown to be a breach of a warranty the affected party is able to claim damages.
Breach of warranties do not automatically entitle customers to terminate their agreements under common law, however, they may be able to if they negotiated for an express right to terminate for "material breach" was included in the contract.
A representation is a statement which may or may not be put into the contract, which is made by one party which has the effect of inducing the other party into entering into a contract.
If it turns out that the statement is not true, the party to which was induced has a claim under the Misrepresentation Act 1967 in which they will be able to rescind the contract or claim damages in tort.
You cannot use a warranty and an undertaking together, a party has to give one or the other and they should be in separate clauses. The same is true for undertakings and representations as they mean mutually exclusive things. However, warranties and representations may be used together.
Legal and Practical Consequences
A party should not use the term "warranty" unless there is no chance that the party will not have the common law right to terminate for a breach of tenancy.
Morality & law
Moral breakdown ?
We have posted on this blog and others our view that, long before the UK riots, there has been a perceptible significant sense that more and more of the public think it's acceptable to break laws. There seems to be an attitude of "if everyone else is doing it, why shouldn't I". This was very much the attitude of the looting in the riots, and reflects other areas such as :-
- Lying on job applications
- Inflating income on Self certificate mortgages
- Inflating insurance claims
- Bogus personal injury claims
Yet more evidence of this worrying moral decline, which seems to be directly related to rampant consumerism and an attitude that we need to get what we want at all costs (if we keep going this way, where does it end ?) comes from some data regarding speeding and other driving offences.
Research from LV car insurers found that :-
- 6% of drivers are willing to accept penalty points for driving offences where they were not responsible.
- 66% of these would falsely accept penalty points to help a friend avoid disqualification.
- 6% of those that admitted accepting penalty points for others were paid to do it.
- 4% answered that they do not believe they are breaking the law by accepting penalty points for another person
Putting the above into context, since 2001 this equates to some 300,000 drivers lying.
What do you think about these issues ?
Insurance fraud
Fraud on the increase
Public liability insurance fraud is on the rise at nearly £2 billion a year at present.
Broken down into hard numbers, the ABI discovered over 130,000 cases of suspected fraud which represents a 9% rise from the previous year and equates to nearly 2,500 insurance fraud claims every week.
Other figures from the ABI report are :-
- home insurance equated to some 66,000 exaggerated or false claims
- some 40,000 false claims related to motor insurance
- Public liability claims relate to personal injury, typically where the claims are exaggerated relating to the ongoing effect of the injury on the ability to work
Fraud is of course nothing new, but it is getting worse, probably due to the difficult economic conditions. In response the ABI has advised that it is planning to set up a centralized fraud register to provide a better database for crosschecking and identifying suspect individuals and claims.

Before purchasing a policy, check the company's financial condition. You can do this by asking the agent. A number of insurance rating services rate the financial strength of companies. The A.M. Best ratings guide is available through the link on the IDOI website.
Collect the names of several agents (also called producers) through recommendations from friends, family and other sources. The following are some questions you may want to ask a potential agent:
The major association for agents is the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors, Inc. (NAIFA). Through NAIFA's local associations, agents can attend educational seminars and can stay informed of trends in the business.
The agent you have selected will meet with you to discuss your life insurance needs. He or she will ask questions about family income and your net worth. Using the information you already have assembled about your financial situation, you should be prepared to discuss your insurance options.
In this initial meeting, be prepared to answer questions about your health (for example, age, medical condition, medical history, family history, personal habits). It is important that you answer these questions carefully and truthfully. You may also have to have some level of medical checkup as part of the application process.

A film telling the story of Austrian kidnap victim Natascha Kampusch reveals for the first time that she was repeatedly raped by the man who abducted her as a schoolgirl and kept her in a cellar under his suburban home for nearly nine years.
3096 Days, which takes its title from the time she was in captivity, is released in Germany and Austria this week almost seven years after she escaped.
Disturbing footage with an actress playing the teenager shows how her abductor, Wolfgang Priklopil, bound himself to his victim with cable ties and forced her to have sex with him.
"I now feel strong enough to tell the full story of my abduction," Kampusch, who is now 25, says in the advance publicity for her film.
She had always refused to respond to claims that she had sex with Priklopil, but in an interview last week she said he had decided to reveal the truth because the information had reached the "public domain" in the form of leaked police files.
Kampusch was only 10 when Priklopil, a 44-year-old communications technician, snatched her off a Vienna street and bundled into a van. She spent the next 8 years imprisoned in a specially built underground cell.
In August 2006 she managed a sensational escape. Later the same day Priklopil's headless corpse was found on a railway line just outside Vienna.
Police had always assumed Priklopil acted alone. Yet new evidence suggests he may have had an accomplice.

13-3, #1 seed in the conference... first round exit. Where have we seen this act before?
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
Pretty damn good -- and a little bit different -- wild card weekend. Get yourself some pretty good football with the divisional games. You try -- some better football coming up next week safe descent. I think that's safe to say better football conference championship games. Great games this weekend. All of them in the San Francisco Green Bay game which became a runaway I don't think anybody saw a runaway coming. I didn't -- where you're in the San Francisco Green Bay game which I thought would be the best game. Of the weekend. Was the largest margin of victory even larger than the patriots in their 41 points. Against the Texans down Houston scored late put. You're right that was the game as the we all that would be the best but clearly -- the very sort of best game was best game with a classic in Denver -- Baltimore and in the bronco and -- go to Milwaukee Atlanta or in the game's pretty great result but you know go to double overtime and you see how the Broncos. Basically had the game line. And you see -- safety fall asleep like that mean you don't see that in and pro football on that situation that was. It's like to agents about the play of the game -- you -- -- they lose her balance and let their awkward and coordinated you see that -- expects that -- situation in the match. You think somebody mentioned the Rahim Moore before him the only way to compete this. Is it Jacoby Jones gets behind you so you don't want to stay in a rear end here. Because if anything's underneath were okay it's okay it's okay right doesn't doesn't Ernst and admitted that's just doesn't artist -- despite a record that's okay just don't let him get by you that's all we need right here. Unbelievable. The -- and I couldn't believe in and it turned out. That you sorry it happened. In reality yesterday and one of that John Fox looks at. You know here's little staff who at the end of regulation and says oh my god look at look what happened with the planet with 31 seconds -- Johnny -- to where they had to timeout yeah. And they moved we definitely gonna feel all. I don't understand if you have Mark Sanchez. You don't have them take one day. Yeah I haven't taken -- just in case they missed a first won't look at you don't want him -- talk channel born that situation usually get to the overtime. If your Peyton Manning and we've seen. Some coaches. Pop up this guy. I was a little fearful of him to appointed Fortin to deepen his own territory decided that he didn't want to give the ball back to Peyton Manning. That's what was 85 yards a YE so how is it. That when you're eighty yards away -- of thirty some odd seconds left it's actually overtime but it's even better. It's sudden death overtime because if you win the flip the -- Michael. And you get in overtime to your first first possession Peyton Manning moves Jim Everett down it gets in a position for a field -- the field goal doesn't necessarily women. Andre did did you start right there it's Peyton Manning. This is why do you think this is why. You know you lost all all of your identity. Last offseason trying to get Peyton Manning to come to Denver you probably said things that you really didn't wanna say he did things that you never thought you would do with the coach. You probably called on yes that is why flowers. I told him that he can have a you know -- he could be. You know the assistant head coach but don't tell anybody. Everything we could get Peyton Manning and you since you weren't pursued this guy along with everybody else the national football and when you get into a situation. Where oh aren't you glad you got Peyton Manning on your side. Don't take me it's even worse -- it even worse wouldn't think he can get worse than that but. You're at home. And Denver. -- kicker. Can make 5560. Charters you've seen it before you're absolutely. Yeah you're doing I -- -- a timeout I noticed that got the great quarterback one of the greats of all time. You're in the rare air of Denver. Unless. And -- John Fox. Said to himself you know one. Afraid that that the worst moment here this quarterback that we brought in -- it's a phenomenal job. He's gonna churn in the -- fought. To keep you wanna know something. He eventually did turn to Brett Favre as he tried to go lower costs but when he took its -- as well most. If it is that it's completely -- what is seen more than you see Harbaugh well. I was wondering. So you're telling the Denver Broncos have. Glad to be wrong and that's OK I'm so glad that. So you draw on and talk until I'm going to circle a Latin people I'm glad. I've hit the Broncos to win that game where it would destroy able to grow they didn't. But I'm so happy because -- won a playoff in Denver Broncos went out and it was according to John Elway to. Into the right to know what to. Mean well they compete in sports team that's -- that in -- room table and protect. David bow. I do I have to do to me. Now with continued on sick of Tim Tebow because. If you have you cheat you of your choice -- many who didn't. Stop stop I don't know what's going out W -- it over over let -- -- after well after what -- all of -- after what I thought Saturday or the national office. It is an account today. I and I've got. -- -- a couple of I have to do to all of the few people out there. Who spent the week you people you people you people are calling. A texting. Are tweeting. Put me and harassing stalking. Cost me the show various people. With theories of how Peyton Manning can't win in temperatures below forty degrees. That man you can't win the first playoff game of the playoffs for a season. That he didn't play. Or didn't win against any real good teams all year long. Our own troubles which a Baltimore that it's just down destiny that Ray Lewis. Is going to win that game because that was their Super Bowl. And has no possible way the Peyton Manning in Denver can win that game I apologize from the bottom of my heart. For taking your point slightly I apologize for. Even making some disparaging remarks against some -- -- to that guy that I. Tweeted back the following which I apologize I don't know I don't think it used to always have it. This altitude did that but anyway I might because I think I dismissed -- I know it just. Stressed at all like there's been -- at it I dismissed at all I really do it. And I apologized and you were right. You nailed it 100%. You nailed -- you know when I -- you know like Miriam McKay right now. When I started thinking about all the calls all week or in the in the tax them to eat you wanna -- worried about it. Would he Manny came out with one. Michael Johnson to do that yet he came outlook two clubs any at all. In the first quarter getting them to fit ready kept it worked in the grip of the -- -- huge amount just to wean them. And they don't seem to fit right in your hands just seemed different it was almost as if Manning. Decided at the last minute tried to gloves when you tried to gloves that doesn't fit. The Coles getting -- New -- -- it's getting -- in his field. Goal at the old school and war. Why all of a little peek of that as well as he had any moment. There I don't -- that came -- GM cure all and isn't there so we have warmer going to swat are not yet. There's no evidence. And -- years. In this mood. I was wrong like that these people right and they were irrational. I dismissed them with something we never -- from. So I'm so yeah. Known that very often not really talking about you and I admit that -- -- at quarterback and national. And knows about Spoelstra I. I've hit -- eight passing apologized. Many Teddy Eddie not backing up what you've done it any differently a year apart. America one day I just don't apparently this article and -- yet cover his -- he really covering my son did these people were -- doing it all week. The only one dismissing. Around the room of people worked out there that we are wrong or right. You know what it does before you go to four. Is the reason the Broncos lost the game because it was under forty degrees that reason. It might have been part of it yeah. It's just sad SAT fell asleep right is because it was under forty or because Africans safety -- ligament. I thought I understand that eco chronicle eligible for the sick he does what he's supposed to do they would gain or lose again to -- to paint wit him there and get. It was -- you can't stop there because if you going to chronological order I agree if for Rahim Moore. Doesn't screw up. I -- they win we know we don't we don't know actors does that not apply after that my we don't know what happens is what we don't know. When one of his players did screw up it's the quarterback's job. Now to come out finish up again so you get into overtime he threw the interception. I -- many you don't look Bateman and I think we do this we all do this and maybe I'd even do it. Truly much why try to put the ball -- and equaled I always show that one is flip a coin when you want to argue whose better Brady all or Peyton Manning. You don't want and much is taking -- on this one game and take an entire body of work post season does not compare person. It even the -- that's a separate issue because you don't is that -- -- post doesn't tell you why separate tables not one -- those -- you can pick. The quarterback I think they're both great. But if you -- comes down to which one you would rather have you can make a decision on that before. Before this if you would you rather have Tom Brady and Peyton Manning yes this is wicked and I think that's where we get it over thinking too much. Because of all all of the information that's available. Because of this that statistics that are out here. We're looking at all of these stats look at this what -- does in the fourth quarter that this is what he does when it's under forty degrees degrees home broad. Don't outdoor grass. Artificial surface. Come down to eventually. Eventually. You'll have to look at the record. You've got to ask what that was sports that's what it's about to Obama winning so if you get down to the record. Then terrorist no compares. You've got to pick one. If I have to pick one action to -- is there even if there's one okay -- you an additional. You're under the same thing last week when people were saying he's 47. In the first playoff game we kind of pooh poohed it while he's now four -- eight. And by the way five of those were home games two times she was the number one seed. To turn she was a number two -- at one time he was a number three seed in those five home games that he lost. This is something there. Something happens to him when he gets into the postseason now I don't think it was the cleanest Tom Brady game yesterday I think early on he would destroy a couple of guys. But meant it as he figures it all out. You can just see. The mind at work and and and how he's gained just progress is seventeen and six in playoff price in this guy's in this -- nine and eleven so I apologize a thousand times that fellow wanna say apologize. Thousand times these people were right. They threw it out -- I'm not saying any one of these theories were correct. But a little bit of all of them could have been correct under forty degrees could have been an issue with him yesterday. Part of Saturday. Could have been an issue I don't know. He fiddled with those gloves did you think sometime when you look at some of the -- -- -- wasn't sure -- totals why would you be -- -- Shall -- a similar one before never seen more to like that. So it doesn't get to you and whatnot because the take their shirts off. Or don't have anything underneath -- just to let you know the sleepless stuff c'mon in twenty degree weather but she -- that's -- and but you don't overdo what to the point where you you start thinking about it too much. And it gets in the way if you just going out there and playing on instinct if -- great player I think games nobody got to play against intelligent. -- -- still under way in Gulfport. I -- at a loss to -- if you love golf even after that even after that bone headed play. That that allowed Baltimore's tie the game right shocking you still got time -- -- but he's got Peyton -- lineup but he isn't worse here in Denver today in the the day later. You sort of blended attacks actually think it virtually the same situation. They have 31 seconds left we have two timeouts. They adjust the metric it was even -- you're holding our 2827. Now suddenly you'll meet the field goal or your season is -- or even get to -- -- over to right. So they have to do it now we don't know maybe you know my -- would have done that situation I don't know. But the aggressive role with with that right he might have been fearful of or target but he went forward. And it worked now they they are Matt Ryan had to do his thing they -- trust him and I think yesterday in that at that Atlanta game. That's a case of knowing your personnel what you can do now I've seen Matt Bryant make these kicks before. And there was a game against the gives a gives New Orleans Thursday night football game he won the game with like you know 5354. Yarder. Made it two possession game and I it was a huge field goal for them at that point in it was at home. Nine yarder with thirteen seconds to play. You could run you could have run the risk of one more play. Sidelined. 6756. Yards 49 yard -- not a gimme. But they were so confident thirteen seconds left to bring out the kicker. For 49 yards and it was noticed a show notes of don't ask don't -- -- -- Or understand about -- is you can't go sideline go outside shoulder chances of picking that offer very very little. You work it down there you worked the clock hit -- easily got himself three maybe four plays in and certainly got a decent field goal off. But he season has -- it's over -- stunned when the game was over didn't. Are we had to default calls coming up next here's the -- more old ritual for -- join us later on in this hour. Bill Belichick will join us in the 5 o'clock hour the -- is our third minute for the last couple of hours. And you're the next minute it's 6177797937. And ninety seconds.

The home workout bundle is great! I have yet to try the rip trainer but have high hopes. I gave only 4 stars due to the fact that without watching the instructional videos the pictures themselves did not fully explain the exercises. But they are great once you understand them!

Recommended by my PT. love it. I travel a lot and can bring it with me for great hotel room workouts.

Grilled Potato Wedges
For a big flavor boost, coat potatoes with seasoned oil before grilling, but save the oil. After potatoes are grilled, toss them in it again. The rosemary will burn off on the grill, but what's left in the infused oil adds amazing flavor.

LANCE Franklin says he doesn't like to kiss and tell, but the Hawthorn superstar has lifted the lid on his life away from footy in an exclusive photo shoot and interview with Confidential.
Franklin just signed a new lucrative deal with adidas to be the face of its new Energy Boost shoe.
"I was at Nike for nine years so it was a difficult time but change is good," he said.
"The boots are great and these runners are unbelievable. I'm running a little bit faster with them on. And I think I'm kicking a little bit straighter, which is good.''
After living with ex-Magpie Sharrod Wellingham before he moved to Perth to play with West Coast, Franklin says he now loves the freedom of living alone.
His other mates dubbed the "bungy brothers'' - James O'Connor, Kurtley Beale and Josh Gibson - have been keeping him company.
"It's a little bit different living without Sharrod. I'm living by myself and really enjoying it.
"The boys are going all right. I like catching up with friends and doing whatever anyone else likes to do.
"Having coffees, lunch, I play a bit of golf, play PlayStation and do whatever normal people do.''
Franklin says his new moustache, the result of a bet with teammate Jarryd Roughead, is here to stay.
"I had a little bit of a bet with Roughy, who would grow a longer moustache," Franklin said.
"I ended up winning the bet and I kept mine and his missus made him chop it off so he was a little disappointed going into the game on the weekend that he got rid of it.
"I think I'm going to keep it for a little bit. It took me 3-4 weeks to grow.
"It would be a waste to get rid of it now. I'll keep it for a couple more rounds and see how I go.''
Franklin has been single for just over a year after a long-term relationship with Kasia Z. He is adamant he is "just friends'' with glamour girls Lara Bingle and Jesinta Campbell, with whom he has been linked recently.
"There are a lot of rumours that float around. We're just friends, both of them. I don't kiss and tell.
"People just find out things. I've never been in a better place at the moment. I'm happy and excited about the year ahead.''

[Video] enews Interviews Witness to the Alleged 'Music Bank' Incident Involving T-ara's Hwa Young
While the controversy and emotions behind the recent T-ara-Hwa Young-Core Contents Media have begun subsiding, a number of questions and mysteries surrounding some of the major events that led to Hwa Young's departure continues to remain.
Enews recently took the time to interview an individual on hand at the alleged Music Bank recording in which Core Contents Media accused former member Hwa Young of acting out.
In the agency's original accusation, on the July 27 episode of KBS' Music Bank, Hwa Young had allegedly thrown her crutches and sat on the floor while emotionally lashing out at her manager and staff members.
However, as enews found, a bit of discrepancy was seen between Core Contents Media's account of the incident and other witnesses at the scene of the incident.
Report Lee Jin Ho sat down and briefly interviewed an anonymous individual in the entertainment business who personally witnessed the Hwa Young incident.
According to his account of the incident, the individual shared, "[Hwa Young] was outside by herself with a coordinator while the rest of the members were inside [the waiting room]. She continued to remain outside by herself."
When asked if Hwa Young remained outside because she was unable to go inside, the insider said, "I'm not sure if it was that she wasn't able to go in or if it was her not wanting to go in but in any case I saw her not going in and being outside for a long time."
Asked if any fights or argument occurred the individual denied seeing such an incident saying, "No, I didn't see any voices being raised or anything like that."

Learn basic volleyball rules. These volleyball basics include the 4 ways to play the ball, fouls, blocking, and substitutions. Also, discover simple ways to modify the rules of volleyball for young kids, beginners, and those with disabilities.
Looking for more rules of volleyball? Learn about the player positions, court dimensions, length of game, equipment, serving, and scoring.
Each team may touch the ball a maximum of 3 times before hitting it back over the net. Contact is allowed with any part of the body above the waist as long as the hit is clean and the ball is not held, scooped, or carried in any way. If 2 players contact the ball at the same time, it counts as 2 hits.
A hit is good if the ball touches the net and drops in bounds in the opponent's court.
The ball is out of play if it touches the ground or any object outside of the court boundary lines.
There are basically 4 ways to hit a ball that has crossed over the net:
Forearm Pass (Bump)
Used to hit a ball that's below the head. It's typically the best way to return a serve.
The hands are clasped in front with the thumbs together, side by side, with one hand wrapped around the fist of the other.
The arms are held out straight with the elbows locked and the knees bent.
The arms should contact the ball about a third of the way between the wrists and the elbows (closer to the wrists.)
Contacting a ball that's above the net with the fingertips and tipping it over the net in a controlled fashion.
Used when a player tries to place the ball up high in the air near the net, so that a teammate can spike the ball.
It's used when the ball is above the head, and it's hit with the pads of the fingers.
Striking the ball over the net with such force and downward angle that it's difficult to return.
A team loses the serve or a point if:
Blocking is an attempt to stop the ball from coming over the net with any part of the body.One or more players on the front row can try to block the ball as long as they indicate their intent by raising a hand above the top of the net.
If a player blocks a ball, she may hit it a second time (but this will count as the team's second hit.)
If the ball touches more than one of the blocking teammates, even if it doesn't hit them at the same time, it only counts as one hit.
Each team may make up to 6 substitutions in each set, but only when the ball is dead. Anyone playing at the start of a set may be replaced only once. The original player may go back during the same set, but she has to return to her previous rotational position. A substitute who leaves the game cannot return in the same set. A sub may be replaced only by the player whose place she took.
Depending on the number of players, skill level, available equipment, or the size of your playing area, you can modify the basic volleyball rules to fit your needs.
How about a little volleyball...
Here are some modifications you can make to get a game going:
These are just a few ways to tweak the basic volleyball rules to fit your needs. Maybe they'll give you some ideas for adapting the game to make it more fun for your group. If you want to get a little more serious, check out the official rules.

Impact of leaked iPhone
Over the past couple of weeks, I've tried to learn more about the 4G-leak-awarenes-level among users of iPHones and other branded handsets. Surprisingly, the awareness is not as high as I would have expected. There were some who were aware of it, but most were not. We may be making too much of the iPhone 4G story. It's far from a scientific sample, but despite the Gizmodo coverage, and elsewhere, the 4G has not penetrated everyone's mindset on phones.
I think where the leak will come into play is when a friend mentions to a current iPhone owner that he/she is thinking of getting one. Unless the current iPhone owner is someone's grandmother, chances are they will be savvy enough to advise holding off till June's model. I wonder if sales staff at the Apple Stores/Best Buy stores/ATT stores are being firmly taught to keep mum on upgrades.

Can Apple Keep a Shine on the iPhone?by
On Mar. 17, Apple (AAPL) unveiled upgrades to the software for its best-selling iPhone. But the consumer electronics maker may need more than software to stay ahead of rivals introducing their own feature-rich smartphones.
Now, Apple needs to home in on hardware and handset pricing. A new version of the iPhone is due to be released at midyear. While Apple is mum on what the new device will look like before its introduction, analysts, consumers, and iPhone enthusiasts have a long list of features they'd like the next iteration to include. "What they ought to be doing is a smaller, lighter, and less expensive iPhone," says Mike Mace, a principal at consumer electronics researcher Rubicon Consulting.
It's important that Apple keep improving hardware quality as rivals introduce their own smartphones amid an economic slump that's forcing consumers to reduce spending. Since the iPhone's introduction, manufacturers have released several comparable devices, some of them at lower prices than the Apple device, which starts at $200. T-Mobile's G1 phone sells for less than $100 on Amazon.com (AMZN). Research In Motion's (RIMM) BlackBerry Storm, which costs $200 through Verizon Wireless, has sold more than 2 million units in the three months through February, according to estimates by Matt Thornton, a senior research analyst at Avian Securities.
Cheaper Rivals Circle
Sprint Nextel (S) will soon introduce the Palm Pre, a smartphone that, like the iPhone, offers a touchscreen. It also includes a physical keyboard that the iPhone lacks. Sprint and Palm (PALM) plan to advertise the device with a comprehensive, expensive campaign. "We'll spend heavily, and we will be aggressive," says Trevor Van Norman, a senior manager at Sprint. "We certainly think the device is a switcher device, we'll go after AT&T (T) and Verizon Wireless." The Pre, whose design was overseen by iPod creator Jon Rubenstein, could sell 3 million units in its first year, both to existing Sprint customers and users who switch from other carriers, Thornton says. Some of these gadgets also include their own online stores, akin to Apple's App Store, that let customers download a host of software applications; others will open their own app sites soon.
The growing list of iPhone alternatives makes it less certain that existing iPhone owners will upgrade to a new iPhone model unless it offers clear hardware improvements or is offered at a better price. In the first few months of 2008, when the new iPhone 3G became available, about 20% of sales came from existing iPhone users who wanted access to AT&T's speedier 3G network, Thornton estimates. People who already had an iPhone were locked into two-year contracts and would have had to pay a penalty if they tried to get out of the deal.
But the first iPhone contracts will be ending by midsummer, and rival providers are certain to try to lure iPhone users who may be looking for an alternative. Instead of upgrading, some 6% of the iPhone users could switch to save cash, Thornton estimates. Sprint's $70-a-month plan for Palm Pre includes text messaging. AT&T's comparably priced plan, its cheapest, doesn't include texts.
Of course, some consumers who already own an iPhone could choose to keep that device and switch carriers instead of upgrading to save costs. One option is Zer01 Mobile, a carrier that will introduce its mobile service in early April and will be sold through large electronics retailers. The company offers an unlimited voice and data plan for $70 a month, including taxes—with no contract. Unlike AT&T, Zer01 doesn't cap monthly downloading at 5 gigabytes, roughly equivalent to two standard-definition movies. The company encourages users to use their smartphones as modems for laptops and to download as much music and video as they like. While Zer01 will start out supporting only Windows Mobile-based devices, the iPhone will be added within several months as the company strives to grow to 1 million users in its first year. Because iPhone owners are heavy multimedia and Web users, "we feel that a lot of the iPhone users more than anyone else might migrate over," says Zer01's CEO Ben Piilani.
Could An iPhone Nano Be Next?
As a result, Apple and AT&T may need to get more aggressive on price. Today an 8-gigabyte iPhone sells at Wal-Mart (WMT) for $197 with a two-year contract. To appeal to a broad swath of consumers, a phone may need to cost $50 with a two-year service plan, says Mace. Hitting that price target may be tricky, since according to researchers at iSuppli, the iPhone cost $172 to make as recently as a year ago—though component prices have since plunged.
Alternatively, a smaller, lighter iPhone model—an iPhone nano, if you will—would cost less and mirror the evolution of another best-selling Apple hardware product, the iPod music player. The original iPod Classic was launched in 2001. Three years later the company launched offshoots called iPod Mini and iPod Photo. A year later the iPod nano was born, followed by iPod Touch in 2007. Sooner or later, Apple is bound to splinter the iPhone into a slew of wireless products with varied capabilities offered at different price points. Perhaps a new, cheaper iPhone could have a smaller screen and be operated via voice. Or it could be a multimedia-focused cell phone, designed especially for listening to music, snapping videos and photos, and for social networking.
Another option: AT&T may need to reduce the price of its iPhone service plan. To sign up users in this economy, carriers need to figure out a way to charge people $10 to $15 a month instead of as much as $30 for Web access, says Charlie Wolf, an analyst with Needham & Co..
Wolf believes the lead Apple currently enjoys in software and the popularity of its App Store may allow the company to hold off on introducing cheaper iPhone models for a while longer. As the number of applications found in the App Store continues to balloon to the tune of 500 new applications added weekly, Apple could gain even more traction by starting to recommend applications to users, similar to the way Amazon's recommendation engine can suggest books you might like based on your past purchases.

Hydroelectric Power
Flowing water creates energy that can be captured and turned into electricity. Actually, hydroelectric and coal-fired power plants produce electricity in a similar way. In both cases a power source is used to turn a propeller-like piece called a turbine, which then turns a metal shaft in an electric generator, which is the motor that produces electricity. A coal-fired power plant uses steam to turn the turbine blades; whereas a hydroelectric plant uses falling water to turn the turbine. The results are the same.
As an example, the entire flow of the Colorado River passes through the turbines at Hoover Dam. The 17 generators onsite have a maximum power output of an astounding 2.08 Gigawatts.
Another type of hydropower plant called a pumped storage plant can even store power. The power is sent from a power grid into the electric generators. The generators then spin the turbines backward, which causes the turbines to pump water from the river or lower reservoir to an upper reservoir, where the water is stored. When power is needed, the water is released from the upper reservoir back down into the river or lower reservoir, which spins the turbines forward, activating the generators to produce electricity.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Hydropower
The principal advantages of using hydropower are its large renewable domestic resource base, the absence of polluting emissions during operation, its capability in some cases to respond quickly to utility load demands, and its very low operating costs. Disadvantages can include high initial capital cost and potential site-specific and cumulative environmental impacts. Potential environmental impacts of hydropower projects include altered flow regimes below storage reservoirs or within diverted stream reaches, water quality degradation, mortality of fish that pass through hydroelectric turbines, blockage of upstream fish migration, and flooding of terrestrial ecosystems by new impoundments. However, in many cases, proper design and operation of hydropower projects can mitigate these impacts. Hydroelectric projects also include beneficial effects such as recreation in reservoirs or in tailwaters below dams.
Applications and Uses of the Technology
The major application for hydropower energy is in the bulk power market, where it accounts for about 77,000 MW conventional capacity and 18,000 MW of pumped storage capacity, or about 10% of the electric generating capacity in the United States. Plants are owned by Federal and state agencies, cities, metropolitan water districts, irrigation companies, as well as public and independent utilities. Individual persons also own small plants at remote sites for their own energy needs and for sale back to the utilities under the Public Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA).
Hydropower is an essential contributor in the national power grid because of its ability to respond in seconds to large and rapidly varying loads, which other base load plants with steam systems powered by combustion or nuclear processes cannot accommodate.
Potential sites for all types of hydropower exist that would double the U.S. hydroelectric production if they could be developed. However, a variety of restraints exist on this development, some natural and some imposed by our society. The natural restraints include such things as occasional unfavorable terrain for dams. Other restraints include disagreements about who should develop the resource or the resulting changes in environmental conditions. Often, other developments already exist at sites otherwise suitable for hydropower generation. Finding solutions to the problems imposed by natural restraints demands extensive engineering efforts. Sometimes no solution is possible, or is so expensive that the entire project becomes impractical. Solutions to the societal issues are frequently much more difficult to resolve and the costs are far greater than those imposed by nature. Developing the full potential of hydropower will require consideration an coordination of many varied factors.

7 Steps For A Better Porn-Watching Experience
I know what you're thinking. Amelia, I'm pretty sure that all I need to watch porn are my eyes and a finger to press play. Sure, if you're an amateur. There's a wrong way to do things, a right way to do things, and then a better way to do things. This is the better way to watch porn.
Step 1: Put on the right outfit. Don't get it twisted. I am not suggesting you change into something sexy. That would be weird. But I am advising that you wear something that isn't cumbersome and won't get in your way. I mean, pajama pants are super comfy, but they make it hard to access your business. And down around your ankles? Limits mobility! My personal preference is a short jersey nightgown or just a simple tank and undies. It should go without saying, but a footed onesie would not be ideal.
Step 2: Select your tool. Are you going of maximum efficiency? Sounds like a job for the Hitachi Magic Wand. Perhaps you're going back to basics and just want to employ your hand (I know, so retro!). I have eight vibrators (What? I get them sent to me for free) so this is not always an easy decision and I don't like to neglect any of them. Lately I have been spending the most quality time with my Jimmy Jane gold vibe.
Step 3: Make sure your audio/visual situation is on point. I have a hangup where I'm convinced my neighbor and anyone walking down the hall will be able to hear the porn sounds emanating from my wee laptop speakers, even at the lowest volume, so I always watch porn with my headphones plugged in. And while I have an external monitor that I could plug my laptop into so I could view James Deen's big wang at maximum size, I happen to believe that porn is best enjoyed small. Like, 600 pixels by 450 pixels max. (I've gone 33 years without seeing an anus in high definition. No reason to start now.) But this is my personal preference; whatever yours is, make sure all cords are secure and plugged in tight so you don't have to do any fiddling once you've started diddling.
Step 4: Eliminate distractions. I kick my dog Lucca onto the couch, as watching porn in front of her seems to cross certain animal/owner boundaries. (Also, I see judgment in her eyes.) If it's a Saturday night and there's a lot of foot traffic and loud chatter outside my apartment (because, you know, some people do other things on Saturday nights besides watch porn), I'll shut the window and turn on the air conditioner, which provides soothing white background noise that doesn't even try to compete with James' sex growls.
Step 5: Let the video load completely. The biggest distraction of all when you're watching porn? The obnoxious spinning wheel of buffering death. Let the video load completely before you start watching, or else it'll seem like James has a really bad stutter. I don't know what the female equivalent of blue balls is, but you will never have a worse case than when a porn freezes up to buffer during a pivotal sex scene. I might be missing the N key on my laptop after a particularly frustrating episode involving a Sasha Grey scene and a slow internet connection.
Step 6: Decide when you want to come. If you remember anything I've ever advised on The Frisky over the last five years, let it be this: know at what point in the video you want to blow your lady load. There is seriously no bigger bummer than putting all this effort into properly watching porn only to come during some mundane moment, like the damn blow job that always happens mid-fuck when the dude starts to go a little soft. I mean, orgasming always feels good, but it feels better when it happens during whatever you consider the horniest part of the video. So, before you really get down to business, give the porn you're watching a quick skim and become familiar with which scenes you want to skip (i.e. the mid-fuck chub hummer) and when you want to time your Big O. Seriously, you'll thank me later.
Step 7: Bookmark it. The volume of porn on the internet is seemingly limitless. There is always something new to watch. But the problem is a lot of it is crap, so when you find a video you like, bookmark that shit so you can watch it again some other time. Because my brother dog sits for me sometimes and uses my computer, I hide my bookmarked porn with boring names like "Bank of America" (James Deen's tag page on PornHub) or "Pillows on Etsy" (a Manuel Ferrera/Kayden Kross scene that is beyond hot) that I know he would never click on. I started bookmarking my favorite porn after I forgot the name of the best porn scene I think I have ever watched and have not been able to find since. Devastating. Live and learn, I guess.

Dr. Francis Stanford Massie Sr.
1935 — 2014
MIDLOTHIAN, VIRGINIA — Dr. Francis Stanford Massie Sr., 79, of Midlothian, passed away June 26, 2014.
Dr. Massie was born and raised in Waynesville, a small town in the mountains of North Carolina, and attended Duke University as an undergraduate, as well as for medical school. His pediatric internship was completed at Duke University. He trained in pediatrics and allergy at the University of California at San Francisco Medical Center, where he was a chief resident.
Dr. Massie served two years in the U.S. Naval Hospital at Camp Pendleton. He was recruited to VCU/MCV, and from 1967 to 1977 he taught general pediatrics as a full-time academician. He developed the first board-approved training program in pediatric allergy in Virginia. In 1977, Dr. Massie went into private practice for allergy and was part-time director of the Newport News Family Practice Clinic in allergy. He was a clinical professor of pediatrics at MCV from 1983 to the present. He was a co-founder of the Virginia Allergy and Asthma Society and served as president twice. He served on many hospital and academic committees. He maintained a vibrant clinical practice for 37 years, first in solo practice, then for the last 12 years with Richmond Allergy & Asthma Specialists. He was passionate about caring for his patients and continued to see patients up until weeks before his death.
He also enjoyed gardening, music, playing piano, traveling and hiking with his children and grandchildren. Dr. Massie has two sons, F. Stanford Massie Jr., M.D., who graduated from MCV and is professor of internal medicine at the University of Alabama School Of Medicine in Birmingham, Alabama, and Tristan S. Massie, who received his Ph.D. in biostatistics from MCV and works for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in Maryland.
He is survived by his sons, Francis Stanford Massie Jr. (Nicole), Tristan Shaw Massie (Tammy); grandchildren, Francis Stanford Massie III, Harrison Austin Massie, Madeline Amelia Massie; his brother, Thomas Clement Massie (Nancy); and many other relatives and friends.

Pallekele Meditation Centre:
By Samangie Wettimuny
Serene environment, cool climate, lush greenery adorned with
twittering birds and naughty squirrels......What would be your immediate
reaction to such a site? A traveller's haven or a nature lover's
paradise? But neither of them would fit in there, unless their intention
is to gain wisdom through self-effort by practising meditation under the
instructions of nuns.
The plight of a journalist too is the same. He/she has no 'business'
at Pallekele Devanampiya Tissa Samatha Vipassana International
Meditation Centre which is situated a few miles away from Kandy along
Kandy-Digana Road in Pallekele. Chandra Loku Manio repeatedly refused to
be interviewed. The place is for the genuine seekers of the truth, not
for sightseers and tourists, she explained to us emphasizing the
religious importance of the place.
"Newspaper articles could be misleading sometimes. Even during the
period of the late Ven. Amatha Gavesi Thera, the founder of this
meditation centre, no articles were carried in the newspapers. But the
ones who are genuinely interested in practising meditation always know
how to find this place"
Though Chandra Loku Manio and other nuns bestow same compassion on
everyone who visits the Aranya, irrespective of what their intentions
are, it should be repeatedly emphasized that this serene meditation
centre is solely for those who wish to seek spiritual consolation.
"The untrained mind is very elusive and persuades people to commit
evil and become slaves of the senses. Imagination and emotions could
mislead human mind if it is not proprly trained." Chandra Loku Manio
continues. She no longer saw journalists or photo journalists seated on
the mat in her abode, but devout upasaka and upasika keenly listening to
the dhamma.
"Meditation is the remedy for many physical and mental ailments. A
person who practises meditation will be able to control his/her mind
when it tends to be misled by the five senses."

The site where the meditation centre is located was gifted by late
president Ranasinghe Premadasa under his village development plan
Gamudawa in the early 90's. The site then had a Chaitya, Bodhi and a
preaching hall. It was the residents of Pallekeale who had invited late
Ven. Valane Amatha Gavesi Thera to conduct meditation programs in
Pallekele. Regular 14 day meditation retreats were started from February
,1994 by the Thera and continues upto this day. On the invitation of the
Thera, Chandra Manio took over the Meditation Centre and remains the
custodian of her late spiritual leader's principles.
As she explained meditation programs and other religious activities
commence two days prior to every poya day. On all three days, devotees
visit the aranya in hundreds or even in thousands. Those who wish to
follow a 14 day meditation retreat must have a prior booking to ensure a
place in the program. "We can accommodate 35 beginners in a batch and
every month two batches are entertained. There are separate kutis for
men and women. Food is strictly vegetarian and meditators are advised to
wear white and decent clothes. Resident nuns give instructions to
There are 25 nuns (manio) at the centre. Beginners are trained with
Samatha meditation and then Vipassana. But she further said that there
are people who can directly practise Vipassana meditation. "This ability
comes from their previous births. Such people can quickly grasp any type
of serious meditation."
Her voice was imbued with seriousness. From the day she became a nun,
her mind has been calm and peaceful, she reveals. "Whether you are a
bhikkuni or 'dasa sil manio' it does not matter, what is important is
your ability to conquer the mind.
Recalling the words of the Buddha, she tells us that the greatest of
all conquerors is the one who conquers the mind, not the rulers who were
conquered 10000 men in battle."
Wisdom knows no gender and being a woman, by no means hinder your
spiritual development. The nuns at Pallekele aranya themselves prove
that. She further says that being a layman is not a hindrance in
achieving the supreme bliss of Nibbana.
"Anyway it is better if they can sacrifice at least 14 days of their
lives, to come to a meditation centre and practise meditation deeply.
The environment should be calm and quiet. One should be able to deviate
from 'material world' at least for a few days."
Then it is easy to concentrate.
It is difficult to describe, the pleasure one gains through
practising meditation, in words.
"You have to experience it yourself." Fourteen days, a big
difference. " You undergo the experience first and then write about it,
if you are so eager to write about the Centre to the Sunday Observer."
concludes a smiling Chandra Manio.

How best to paint a derelict, poorly prepped garage?
I've lurked on this forum for the past few years on and off as we tackled various projects in our 1918 fixer, but a critical project I need to knock off quickly got me registered and posting!
I'll post the short version, followed by backstory/details.
The short of it: I have a rotting, derelict 1 car "garage" in my alley that I must scrape loose paint off of and paint by May 24th, or I will start getting fines from the city. It is generally beyond saving as a practical and financial matter, but I have to "kick the can" down the road and satisfy the city sooner than I can afford to demo and replace.
The long version:
We bought this 1918 house in 2005. It needed a lot of work, indeed more than it appeared as the former owners spent most of their energy making things look nice for the sale than fixing things right. The garage may be as old as the house, and was originally 11'x18' or so, likely on dirt or gravel. Since then it has had concrete poured inside it at least twice (and over the sill plate), and a poorly build extension and door was added presumably in the 50's or 60's when cars were very long. That improvement sat on a pad that created the parking pad next to the garage. inches higher than the rest fo the garage.
The siding is peeling, there is some rot at the bottom in spots i'll have to patch up roughly. The garage door on the addition was too wide, and didn't have proper support, so that addition has a lean to it, and the door doesn't go up. The door is in too rough of shape to make the trip even if the rails weren't pinching in on each other. Windows have been busted and boarded. Basically the garage is terrible, and not an uncommon sight in my neighborhood as most people park on the street.
We've done a lot to the house, but this november we unexpectedly had to bring our first child into the world 3.5 months early at 1 lb 1oz! She's finally home and thriving now (over 10lbs!), but she had a 4+ month stint in the NICU, and is home with oxygen now. During that stay we realized dust wouldn't be allowed once she came home for the sake of her preemie lungs, so we bit the bullet and finally redid the only bathroom in our house (a project we'd wanted to do for years, but who wants to live without a bathroom?)
During that project this spring we staged the debris on the parking pad in the alley for a week. A bored neighbor on alley patrol called the city health department, and we were cited to have the debris cleaned up in a week. No big deal as we weren't going to leave it there any longer than that in the first place. However during that visit, the inspector cited our garage for peeling paint and bare wood as well.
So now I need scrape the loose paint off this garage and get some paint on it by May 24th to appease the City. The plan is to demolish the old garage and replace it with one I can put my woodworking tools in (I can't use them in the house anymore either), but after the hospital bills we just can't afford to even tear it down this year.
If there is lead paint I'm not crazy about agressive scraping and sanding to prep, and I also don't want to powerwash a bunch of lead into my yard for the sake of a one year paint job.
So I've scraped as much loose stuff as I could without making dust, which I scraped onto tarps and bagged up. The siding is still dusty and dirty in spots.
So how do I prep well enough for a 1-2 year paintjob with the immediate goals of a) satisfying the city b) not adding more lead to the ground or myself c) not spending a ton of money?
I can rent an airless sprayer for about 70-100 dollars locally, and have been researching peel bond, peel stop, etc as well as using a regular primer like bullseye then a cheap exterior paint. Or I could use emulsabond in some exterior paint.
What prep can I pull off? should i do a gentle pressure wash just to get the dirt off the paint that's there? What paint, primer, or paint additive plus paint should I be looking towards?
Pics in various stages of scraping:
Thanks for your thoughts.
The only advice I have is to pressure wash the heck out of it and see what happens. We are in the process of painting the exterior of our home and the prep work has been a *****. Hubs fired up the pressure washer last night and ran the spray over an old door with old paint and I was amazed at how much came off of it. I'll still have to stand it in some areas, but I'm only dealing with a door, not a whole garage. So maybe pressure wash it first and see what that leaves behind. You might be okay to paint after it dries, since you are only doing it for the City and not as a long term solution.
I'm glad to hear your daughter is home and doing well, what a scary thing to have to go through!
I'm not seeing anything even worth saving, never mind wasting money on paint.
It was built with a poor foundation, the sidings to close to grade, there's rotten wood, a bad roof.
Caulk. Smear caulk all over it.
You could use a 3" or so putty knife, put the caulk on the wall in big strips, smear it out. If some peeling chips get mixed in.. So what? It will help stabilize the lead and help with future peeling.
You could use some paint at the same time, just kinda mix it on the surface.
It makes an impromptu elastomeric coat that will hold together to an extent even if its not bonded everywhere.
Home owners don't have to worry as much legally about lead. But the chips are little position piles. Very bad. Don't pressure wash.
Call the local fire dept. let them burn it to the ground for you. That thing is not even worth a match.
If money is an issue.....pressure wash....shoot some primer on it....buy some cheap paint, shoot that on and call it done.
Then....when you have the money....build a real garage....that one is just not worth saving. Listen to the guys above.......
BTW....congrats on your daughter....glad she is home and doing well.....I can relate....somewhat...not as rough as your situation....enjoy the baby...
Oh I 100% agree that it should be torn down just to be clear, but it's not feasible in the timeframe, and for whatever reason painting it is the only option the city gave. As such this is really just about how to prep and paint and with what.
Caulk as a top coat seems super expensive coverage wise. It would take 3 or more gallons of paint to cover it, and there is no way you could spread as thin as you could flow paint.
There are actual products made for that ( after you either /and scrape and PW)
One penetrates- Peel Stop
the other is more like a flex prime coat- sort of like brushable caulk-
Peel Bond.
Google both to learn more.
An acrylic solid stain can be used over raw or painted wood. It would save you a primer coat. The brand I know best is Sherwin Williams Woodscapes but it is a high end product. I do not know of a cheaper brand. MAB used to have a solid stain product that was superior to what Woodscapes was at the time. SW bought MAB and I suspect the formula is now hybridized into Woodscapes. You might get lucky and find enough for your project if MAB stores are still around. Last I looked it was no longer available at what MAB stores were left beyond what they had in inventory. I honestly do not know if there are any MAB stores left anymore.
A decent primer and a contractor grade of paint store paint would be another option but involves spraying it twice. I don't know if primer and paint would be cheaper or not.
Restored a little railway worker home in a neighborhood like yours where people with nothing to do but work on their own places they neglected instead patroled the hood. They had been irked ever since the city made them get the ripped up sofa, b&w console tv with tubes, and doorless fridge off the porch and the 72 cracked Chevvy engine block out of the front lawn!
Do you have a Habitat for Humanity ReStore or similar place near you? I volunteered to sort out the donated paint section for one and ran across some decent primer and paint amidst mostly crap (I guess people thought it was alright to use the place as their toxic waste dump!?) or too small quantites for large projects. The store was in an area with a lot of industrial painting work so their tended to be fresh, unopened 5-ers over ordered for jobs donated on a regular basis. Both primer and white or off whites mostly. The store asked next to nothing for them---$20 or something as I remember but do not hold be to that amount. They were a small fraction of retail though. In most cases they were more than decent product. I separated them off from the partial cans of stuff.
Glad your little one is doing well. She must be a fighter to come through such challenges so early on.
We do have a restore! I hadn't considered that. I also hadn't considered the woodscapes...is the idea that the acrylic stain would penetrate and stick well?
For this type of application on poorly prepped and rough siding, what types of primer would be best, should I end up needing to go that route?
You can actually bring this garage back to life.........well, since that's your only option right now. Actually, what I would do would be to buy a quality carbide scraper........get as much loose paint off as possible......be careful not to do any more damage to the siding. After that, use an orbital sander with 40 or 60 grit. It will aggressively get off any remaining loose paint and feather the edges. NOW, a very gentle pressure wash to remove the dust you created and any dirt or mildew. Allow to dry thoroughly. Prime with a slow drying oil based primer. This will soak into the bare wood and block any stains that could leach into the topcoats. Allow to dry. Then apply 2 topcoats of your favorite paint. I've done this process on houses that looked worse than your garage and brought them back to life........it's worth a shot.
Yeah I wouldn't say I can bring it back to life, but I can dress the corpse up a bit :-)
The fact is some of the studs are rotting, much of the siding touching the ground (since concrete was poured above the bottom courses) is rotting or gone, the frame is askew, and while it could be straightened and reinforced I'd likely put a ton of time effort and a few thousand dollars into a garage that would still be of poor quality and not more usable than it now (which is basically a semi dry place to put my ladder and lawn mower, etc).
I'll probably avoid hitting it with my ROS, even though feathering the edges of the paint would be ideal, as I don't want to kick up a bunch of what might be lead. I'd deal with better prep if I knew the paint had to last more than a year or two. So I should go Oil based primer? what's the dry time on that? I ask because it looks like I'm rained out this weekend for painting, and my deadline is friday. Hopefully I can get a reprieve as long as she see's progress, but we'll see.
Some of the long dry oils dry in half a day. I usually wait 24 hours before painting. If you buy a linseed oil based primer, those can take a couple days to dry.
........and, as Sdsester states below, you could get away with a water-based primer like 1-2-3........but with weathered southern yellow pine like that on your garage, you will have some bleed through into your topcoats.
Benjamin Fresh Start Alkyd Primer is a fave of mine for exteriors, but I honestly did not do a lot of exterior work and price of materials was not the major issue when I did. I usually applied it with a roller and chased it with a brush to get up under siding, etc.
It seems like overkill if you just need this fixed cosmetically and are sure you just need a few years out of it.
Personally, I would use waterbased Zinsser 123 or Zinsser 123 Plus (stain blocker added), not worry about the weather since it will dry quickly and "geterdone". Hopefully you will luck out and find enough finish at the Restore. If not, put two coats of a contractor grade paint equivalent to what was Ben Moore Super Spec (think it is Ultra Spec for exterior products now too) and let the inspector pin a blue ribbon on the thing.
Other option remains, if cheaper, to use a solid stain in white. It will save you from priming but I don't know of inexpensive alternatives to nice products like SW Acrylic Woodscapes Solid Stain. If it is cheaper to prime and paint, do that. You will probably still need two coats of the stain though. It will go over new or painted siding.
Ordinarily I hate compromises but you are up against the wall here and forced to do something that makes no sense long term anyhow. I will say that projections of only needing something to last a couple years often get stretched out longer so do the prep and not a total hack job on this garage. And pray the weight of the second coat of paint or stain does not collapse it!:laughing:
If you were vindicitvely creative, you could paint it some hideous color. There was this home in the neighborhood I mentioned where I restored the railway worker home. Every few years it got a technically perfect exterior paint job using more shades of bright green than all of Ireland has. I nicknamed it the Leprechaun [other word for brothel] which stuck. Neighbors despised it but they are the ones that forced the City to play its hand and make them paint it. I suspect when they finish the renovations they are chipping away at inside ever so slowly they will paint it some realistic color scheme.
Haha! Yeah it has crossed my mind to paint it bright orange or something, but my neighbors would have to deal with it, and I know it was no one on my street that called it in. Actually I'm almost positove it was a well meaning and very nosey/bored older woman that lives a street over. She is quick to call zoning or whoever else will listen if she suspects someone is running their business out of their garage, etc.
So I am going to look at a tradeworks 170 ( the graco x7 which SW sells) used for 180 tomorrow. I need to paint the eaves and get some parts of my house done in the next year so it made sense. Renting a sprayer is looking like 140 for a day after damage insurance and fees. Also ive always wanted to learn how to shoot with an airless, and a throwaway garage seems like great practice! So the plan will be to hit it with some bullseye 123 (I have a gallon and a half on hand already). Then hit the restore for some exterior paint, failing that I'll go for the contractor cheaper stuff at SW.
Anyone have advise on how to evaluate the used sprayer before buying it short of running it and spraying? He claims to have only run a few gallons through last year when he bought it. I asked if it had been properly cleaned, maintained, and stored to which he said yes.

Coordinate colors
A designer's job is to give your home a complete look without "making things matchy-matchy," Tracey says. "There should be some individuality to the room, but the elements still have to go together." She wove similar shades of pink, blue, and green throughout the house for cohesion, but chose various patterns and fabrics to spice things up.
