Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I understand this website is an accurate and dependable way to inform the public about Rip-Offs. My incident is of complete honesty and is not meant to trash anyone. I feel I must accurately advise the public of a real con man and true rip off; Mike Karylyle (Michael Karylyle) of Desert Property Services and his sidekick, Lynda Miller. Both are true blooded thieves according to a growing number of homeowners at Monterey Country Club, Palm Desert, California.
I made the mistake of hiring these clowns to complete a small remodel/upgrade to my home at Monterey C.C. I thought by paying more, I would get more. In my case, it was the exact opposite. Their work stops at nothing short of a terrible joke. Very sloppy and POOR quality. In fact, I had to hire another contractor just to correct the horrible job DPS did.
I almost had to make it a career just to follow up with them to see if they were going to show up after numberous "no-shows". When these glorified handymen did arrive, they would bring their pet (long haired dog) with them. Finally, after making the best decision to discharge them, I spent days cleaning out the dog hair from the bedrooms and other filth they left behind along with their shoddy construction. Not to mention that DPS damaged my stainless steel appliances during their sloppy construction so badly, it was beyond repair.
I couldn't have made a bigger mistake by hiring Desert Property Services. Although Mike was always ready and "johnny on the spot" when he needed money and demanded immediate payment.
If you want a quality construction job with honest and dependable service, LOOK ELSEWHERE. These clowns, Mike and Lynda, have no clue what the definition of professionalism is. They lie their way through Monterey Country Club in hopes of finding more work, more jobs, and more homeowners to scam. You have been forewarned. STAY AWAY from Mike Karylyle and Lynda Miller of Desert Property Services, the Bonnie and Clyde of construction.

#2 REBUTTAL Owner of company
The TRUTH
SUBMITTED: Thursday, September 26, 2013POSTED: Thursday, September 26, 2013
It's sad that a so called "grown man" would go to such extremes – and tell such outrageous lies about my company, at his age.
Desert Property Services (my company) has always stood behind our work, and our reputation. Which, by the way, happens to be very good with the Homeowners at Monterey Country Club. We've never had to lien a homeowner's property (until this guy came along). Nor have I ever had to even consider hiring an Attorney before… again, until this guy came along.
In a nutshell…. We completed his job within 3 weeks of starting. I have emails where he praises our work – "but he needs more time to come up with his final payment". (Less than $5,000)
When payment didn't come, and he skipped off to Hawaii for his 3 month "vacation"….. (hoping to expire our lien rights), he became enraged that we put a lien on the property anyway. That's when the lies initially began – and we filed the Defamation lawsuit.
The truth of the matter is, although our settlement clearly states that he is not to try to harm my reputation in any way, we can almost time him on the next spontaneous combustion of his keyboard. This is his 4th posting about my company. Sometimes, he sends copies of his postings directly to my home, addressed to Lynda – in hopes of upsetting her. (He previously admitted in Court Documents that he was aware she has Multiple Sclerosis – and that stress would make it worse for her.)
Finally, Lynda hasn't stepped foot on the grounds of Monterey Country Club since she delivered gifts to everyone last December for Christmas. She hasn't worked for Desert Property Services in months. And his allegations and lies about her are nothing more than "Pure, Unadulterated, Poppy-c**k". She is genuinely loved by my clients – many of whom have become dear friends of ours for life.
It's just sad that this guy cannot tell the truth from a lie. None of his appliances were damaged. He's referring to what he "thinks" he knows about somebody else's job – where there was hard water deposits on the front of the fridge near the water dispenser. I couldn't confirm, nor deny that "our guys" let the water drip down the front – so instead, I bought the client an entirely new refrigerator.
As far as his allegation of bringing over a "long hair dog" – we have a Chihuahua – which we didn't get until 9 months AFTER we were done with his job. (I have papers from the shelter to prove this.) Judge his letter by the facts – if you need more, I'll be happy to email copies of his emails praising us, but asking for more time to pay us. Or I can send the certified copies of his text messages – directly from Sprint – where he keeps putting me off for installing his stove – until after he left for his vacation. I can send a copy of the "Stop Work Order" I posted prior to filing the lien, when he set up a day and time for me to finally install his stove, knowing he had already snuck out of California like a thief in the night.
The difference here is… I can prove everything I am saying. I have nothing to hide, and no reason to lie. I appreciate those who recognize what this guy is doing, and also stood up for the truth.
It's just sad that there are people like him out there.

Desert Property Services
SUBMITTED: Thursday, September 26, 2013POSTED: Thursday, September 26, 2013
To Whom it may concern,
I am a home owner in Monterey Country Club and have used Desert Property Services to remodel my home. I found them to be honest hard working people. I was very pleased with the work that was done in my home, further more, whenever any issue did arise, they were prompt in response and able to resolve these issues. I have seen with my own eyes the work that was performed by Desert Property Services on other units within Monterey Country club and this is why I chose them to work on my own home. I've seen some vidicvtive reviews in my time but this review on Mike and Lynda was uncalled for and very unprofessional. The proof of their good standing in the community are all the satisfied home owners who have used and been happy with their services.
Thank you Mike and Lynda

1. When should I put in the entrance reducer and mouse guard?
2. Should I place the hive on something much higher so that the snowfall doesn't reach the lowest super?
3. Should I move the hive from the middle of the lawn to up against the shed so the wind doesn't blow the hive over?
4. Should I build a square wooden box around them to shield them from the wind?
5. Should I wrap the hive in something more than tar paper, such as quilted plastic with ventilation holes?
6. When would I use pollen bee food? Now? During the winter? Where do I put in in the hive?
7. What's the best feeder to use so that the bees are not disturbed in the cool weather?
I've been using a division board feeder thus far. I was looking at a poly top feeder and a plastic top feeder which seem pretty similar and one only needs to lift the lid to refill.I was also looking at the entrance feeders but those seem more fiddly because you have to remove them from the hive, block the entrance, take the tubs off, refill them and replace them back in the hive.Then I considered the two gallon feeder pail but was concerned about the feeder plug getting stuck. Does anyone use these? How often do you change the plugs or clean them in the winter? I get that you place these pails upside down on the inner Cover with screen plug over the inner cover hole, but where do you put the top telescoping cover? Or don't you put the cover back on?

text: Hi all, I want to remove the fan from my iMac G5 to clean it out. I also was thinking of putting a couple of drops of lube in the bearing while I'm at it, since it's currently waiting for a RAM replacement. Figure it's a good time to do some cleaning on the insides. What else would you all recommend cleaning?

In Pompeii-land
A couple of months ago we had a "Pompeii-debate" in Cambridge, with Simon Jenkins and Caroline Lawrence making a bid (in subtly different ways) for a bit more "reconstruction" at Pompeii... some re-con furniture put back, more roofs remade, even a few actors dotted around the place impersonating the Roman inhabitants and engaging the visitors in casual, but informative, conversation about life in the ancient city. (You can read a version of Simon's line here.)
What I hadn't realised then was that something of this sort had already come to Pompeii -- or at least to the "House of Caius Julius Polybius".
This used to be one of my favourite places in the town. It gives you a great glimpse of the upper storey of a Roman house, it has some marvellous wall decoration in the rooms around the peristyle (where 12 skeletons were found, overwhelmed by the eruption, as well as a considerable quantity of "treasure"), a well-excavated garden (with trees of fig, lemon and fruit -- plus a ladder for gathering the crop), and some remarkable casts of the wooden furniture that once stood around the portico.
But some time in the last year or so, things have changed. For those visitors who pay extra for a tour that includes this house (which is normally closed to the public), Caius Julius Polybius himself now awaits to greet them. Or to be more exact, an image of Polybius (that's him above) is projected onto a scrappy curtain, and his voice booms over a tannoy, to welcome you -- accompanied by music, some odd bits of Latin, plus the sounds of dripping water (a kind of Roman sound and lightshow).
And that's not all. When you get to the peristyle, you find that just next to the relatively well preserved furniture that is still in situ, some modern look-alikes have been installed -- probably expensively-made replicas, but at a casual glance they appear to have come from the local Ikea. Move on the dining room and -- just in case you missed the point about what it was used for -- there some Ikea couches and tables (and not in this case, I think, a very accurate version of what you would once have found). Meanwhile, in the pretence that it is all accessible to the disabled (just try Pompeii in a wheel chair!) a decidedly ugly metal entrance ramp has been installed up to the front door, and all over the first hallway (or atrium) of the house. It's a truly ghastly industrial intrusion into the Roman scene.
This is definitely a very poor advert for reconstruction. Simon and Caroline would, I suspect, argue that you can't judge the whole principle by a bosh-shot like this. True enough. But I couldnt help wondering who on earth wasted money on this rubbish -- when the real antiquities of the site could really do with the cash to provide them with a little more care and attention. Even just a few brooms to brush the dust and grime away would enhance the visitor experience more than a Disneyland Caius Julius Polybius,

Big quake rocks Alaska
Alaska - A 7.4 magnitude quake shook Alaska early this morning, spurring tsunami warnings for hundreds of miles of coastline along Alaska and California.
The quake was centered about 60 miles west of Craig at a point about 6 miles deep in the ground. The Alaskan Earthquake Information Center said the earthquake was widely felt, but no damage was reported.
After the initial jolt, coastal observers were on high alert for the possibility of a large tsunami wave. The earthquake did cause a wave, but it was small enough to cancel the tsunami warnings.
Several other earthquakes occurred within an hour of the initial 7.4 event. All of them were within 100 miles of Craig, Alaska.

--The biggest mismatch came in air against a Titans defense that ranked No. 31 versus the pass. The Chargers took full advantage with Philip Rivers, Antonio Gates and Vincent Jackson all having big games. Rivers completed more than 70 percent of his passes for the fifth time in the last seven games; Gates caught his fifth TD in the last five games; and Jackson led the team with five receptions. If Jackson gains 33 yards next week and Gates gains 55, the Bolts will have two 1,200-yard receivers for the first time since 1980 when John Jefferson (1,340) and Kellen Winslow (1,290) did it. Charlie Joiner, now the receivers coach in San Diego, also topped 1,000 yards in that magical 1980 season (1,132).
--LaDainian Tomlinson and Darren Sproles combined for five touchdowns, yet neither led the team in rushing. That honor went to Mike Tolbert, who filled in during the fourth quarter and ran 11 times for 60 yards (5.5 ypc). Tomlinson (3.7 ypc) and Sproles (7.6 ypc) both averaged at least 3.7 yards per attempt for the second straight week, the first time that's happened this season.
RB LaDainian Tomlinson
Wade Payne/AP
--The lopsided score allowed the Chargers to give extended playing time to newcomers and youngsters. Veteran RT Jon Runyan worked two series with the starters before playing the entire fourth quarter with the second string. On defense, Antonio Garay made his debut with Jacques Cesaire (elbow) out and held Chris Johnson to a 1-yard gain on his lone tackle. Rookies Tyronne Green, Vaughn Martin and James Holt all logged significant minutes.
What Didn't
--Johnson entered Friday's game needing 135 yards to stay on pace for a 2,000-yard season. Amazingly, he got more than he needed despite getting just 21 carries. Johnson also caught three passes; amongst his 24 total touches, a quarter of them went for at least 10 yards. He finished with 179 yards from scrimmage and is now 75 yards away from breaking Marshall Faulk's record for most yards from scrimmage in a single season (2,429).
--Marcus McNeill drew a season-high three penalties, including one that negated a beautiful 52-yard touchdown pass to Malcom Floyd. The Chargers wound up scoring a touchdown on the drive anyway courtesy a 3-yard run by Sproles, but anyone who had Floyd on their fantasy team was no doubt cursing McNeill's name. Floyd finished with three catches for 55 yards.
--Shawne Merriman, despite being motivated by his much-publicized dislike of the Titans, could not get off the sack schneid. He has not posted a sack since he bagged a pair in a win over the New York Giants on Nov. 8. Amazingly, the Chargers rank in the top-10 in sacks (34) despite having only one player with more than four sacks this season -- that would be Shaun Phillips, who leads the team with seven.
What's Next?
The Chargers will try to improve to 3-0 this year against Norv Turner's former teams when they host the Washington Redskins on Sunday. The game has no significance in the standings for the Chargers, who have already clinched their division title and a first-round bye.
Turner told all his players to prepare to start, although that doesn't mean they will. Those nursing injuries -- such as Merriman (foot), Phillips (ankle), Travis Johnson (groin), Cesaire (elbow) and Legedu Naanee (foot) -- will likely be allowed to rest up for the playoffs. Cornerstone players such as Rivers, Tomlinson, Gates, Jackson, Sproles, Stephen Cooper and Quentin Jammer will make cameo appearances or not play at all.
The team's seven-player inactive list for the Redskins game will feature all first-string players. Turner will need his usual inactives (Garay, C.J. Spillman, Michael Bennett, Buster Davis and Dante Hughes) to play heavy minutes so that he can rest his top players as the game progresses.
Davis, the team's first-round pick in 2008, figures to see significant playing time after being inactive for the first 15 games of the season.
What do you expect versus the Redskins? Talk about it in the message boards.
Michael Lombardo is a member of the Pro Football Writers of America and a long-time contributor to the Scout.com network. His analysis has been published by the NFL Network, Fox Sports and MySpace Sports. He has followed the Chargers for more than 15 years and covered the team since 2003.

Experiences of a walking intervention in a University community : Qualitative perspectives
Washington, Tracy L., Gilson, Nicholas D, Orth, Dominic, & Rachele, Jerome N. (2012) Experiences of a walking intervention in a University community : Qualitative perspectives. In 37th Annual National Wellness Conference 2012, 16-19 July 2012, Stevens Point, WI.
Background: This study explored the experiences of university employees that participated in a walking intervention that encouraged individuals to walk more throughout their workday. The 10-week program was comprised of 5 phases (i.e. baseline, anticipating barriers, short planned walks, longer planned walks and maintenance) and utilized a pedometer diary and an online website for logging steps. The pedometer diary included "action plans" for addressing barriers and planning walking and the online dashboard provided graphical outputs that allowed participants to visualize whether they were reaching or exceeding their step targets. Methods: A subsample of 12 academic and administrative employees from the study completed open ended questionnaires at the end of the study. The questions focused on capturing the major themes of benefits/mediators and problems/moderators of the program and were assessed using phenomenological approaches. Results: Participants found a raised consciousness of physical inactivity throughout the work day. They also found it useful to have a graphical display of physical activity patterns, but found time constraints and lack of managerial support to be the primary barriers/moderators of the program. Those most likely to withdraw from the program experienced technical difficulties with objective monitors and the online website. Conclusions: Findings highlight the value in being involved in a group forum and provide insights into the challenges of supporting such programs within the workplace.

Today marks the bicentenary of the English Regency. King George III was seventy two and after many years of illness was declared insane. On 5th February, 1811 the Prince of Wales took the oaths of office as Regent and assumed charge of the government. To celebrate the bicentenary, Harlequin is running a special series of Regency features on its blog. An introduction to the celebrations is here! I have blogged about Antonin Careme, the Prince Regent's chef and the first chef to be a celebrity in his own right. If you would like to read my blog piece about Careme and the amazing feasts he served up for the Prince, click here. There's also a recipe for Regency Orange Flower and Pink Champagne Jelly! Throughout the week my fellow Harlequin authors will be blogging on regency related topics so please drop by with your comments on how you became interested in the Regency period, what your favourite aspects of it are, and anything else Regency-related you would like to share!
If you are in the UK, the Brighton Pavilion is running an amazing exhibition for the rest of the year called Dress for Excess, which displays fashions of the late Georgian period, exploring themes from the Regent's life and the stylistic influences on the period. The exhibition shows items of dress the Regent wore, including a beautifully printed banyan of the 1770s and also his huge breeches worn towards the end of his life (you can blame Careme and his delicious banquets for that!) The most spectacular item is George's extravagant coronation robe, on loan from Madame Tussauds. I can't wait to get down to Brighton to see the exhibition!
So on Regency Day let's raise a glass (of pink champagne, of course!) to the Prince Regent, and please let me know – What is it about the Regency period that appeals to you? I'm giving away a book from my backlist to one commenter in honour of the celebration!

Good quality, but sizing is small
December 23, 2016
These bibs appeared to be very good quality, but they run very small. I'm 5'11", 185# and typically wear medium tall. No way would they fit me. They were tight and too short. I suggest ordering one size above your normal. They are warm bibs, so I'd only want them when I needed to keep warm.

Great bibs for the money!
December 21, 2016
These are *really* nice bibs. Bought them for my son in lg tall size. Because of the neoprene incorporated in the design, they're a little tighter while putting them on / taking them off but once you're in them - awesome fit. Highly recommend, especially at $129!

Great quality
December 18, 2016
The bib is made from great quality and craftsmanship. Durable and comfortable. Just heavy enough to keep warm for really cold mornings on the Texas coast. Easy to remove when it warms up later in the day. Just as easy to get back in. I'm size 36x30 and the large is well "fitted". I'd suggest to go a size up if you prefer a baggy fit or if you plan to wear multiple layers.
ProsQuality material Suitable for coo, wet and windy conditions while remaining comfortable.

Another Home Run for Stormr Apparel
November 19, 2016
I have the Stormr R215MP-02 Mens Typhoon Bib which are great but you cant wear them in weather above 50 degrees, if that. You'll sweat to death. So I was super pleased to see Stormr come out with a warmer weather option. These bibs are the top quality construction and materials that you would expect from Stormr. Excellent fit with the adjustable shoulder straps. Plenty of pockets with the fisherman in mind. If you put heavyweight or mid weight layers they will also fill your needs in cold weather fine too. At the current price of $129.95 you can't go wrong!!!! Built to last!!!
ProsExcellent construction and design. Easily Adjustable. Easy to layer with for warm to cold weather applications. Breath ability!! Great Color Scheme

I'll waiting to see how they fair in really cool weather. Love the bibs. 100% dry, even if you leave a pocket un-zipped. The seams are amazing, no water leakage at all so far. Does its job...comfortable... And the pocket are a great asset, saves always putting your hands inside of bibs to get things.

Well, I'm so glad they went on sale for 1/2 off! I have the Bass Pro 100 mpg jacket in green which is very well made. I never purchased the bibs even tho I wanted them. I just couldn't afford at the time and now they discontinued the green so I'm out of luck. I stumbled on these StormR bibs from Tackle Direcect and so glad I did. THESE ARE AWESOME! Great price and so comfortable and well made. They come in black so they will match my green and black Bass Pro jacket. Well worth the $129.00. Even tho they are worth the $259.00 I probably wouldn't have purchased them. At this price I almost want to buy 2 of them. I'm 6'1 and 215 lbs and the XLL fit great. That is Xtra Large Long size. Thanks for the great price!

Painting dirty walls
Many places on my interior walls are very dirty.. from what? Not sure really.. Dog rubbing against the walls. Hands rubbing on the walls?
Whatever it is it's very dirty and not that easy to clean since the paint seems to be a flat white color. I will clean the bad spots with some simple green to get it a little cleaner then it is now
Now I'm going to be painting the whole inside of my house very soon.
I will be buying paint from Lowe's or Home Depot. :thumbup:
If the paint was really that bad word would get around so fast no one would ever use it. I have used it on the exterior of my home and no problems at all.
My neighbor painted his house with SW and after 3 coats it's already peeling off his house after 2 years.
Now should I use the paint primer in one stuff they got out now and do 2 coats or should I use Killz type primer and one coat of the paint primer in one stuff?
What would be the best combo of paint or type of paint I should use for my situation?
Would also like to use a paint that can be cleaned easily when the walls get dirty
Cost is a issue since I have many projects going on in the next 2 months.
Not sure I can help you if you have your mind made up to not do a full prep and plan to paint filthy walls with crap primer and paint.
Clean the walls thoroughly with TSP at least. You might have to hit any greasy or oily spots first with mineral spirits or some sort of degreaser that does not leave a residue. I have used Simple Green and Purple Power with a thorough rinse after.
Then use a decent primer and two coats of paint store paint. The contractor grades of something like Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams will be the same price as box store crap and it is just better paint!
There is no such thing as primer and paint in one. It is total nonsense, marketing hype for the unwashed masses to fall for.
Well, Simple Jack in Washington. I suggest you mix some baking soda in with hot water - dump it into a mop-bucket - get a stiff head mop of some type (not a rag mop) and mop your walls good.
I do it every time I move somewhere or do any type of painting on old walls - whether they look dirty or not.
If you don't clean - you'll be surprised at how horrible your Kilz stays over the years.
I used Behr from HD for years.....I won't buy it any more
Thread here on Behr:
Behr sags & its like painting with molasses at times
I did a side by side test with Glidden & the same brush
The Behr quite simply sucked - $20+ maybe
The $12 gallon of Glidden beat it hands down
Easier to put on, didn't sag or run nearly as much as the Behr
And it covered better then the Behr
As far as your neighbor goes good paint applied over bad paint will still peel
Good paint applied to siding that has a water intrusion problem will still peel
Good paint without proper prep & a good primer will still peel
Do not use the primer & paint all in one
I recommend staying away from the Big Box stores paint
Since you have already stated that is where you will buy paint you may find very few painters here that can help you
Well when I was pricing paint before, the co$t of SW was Double+ per gallon from Valspar. That's just too much.. I spent allot of time prepping the hose before I painted, so the paint went on very well and I have no issues with it at all.
If there is a better paint for the same price range as Valspar type paints, I'm all for it.
But I won't spend $50 to $60 per gallon on paint
TSP is a strong base and can cause severe eye damage and can burn unprotected skin. :laughing:
I might just try the Baking soda and warm water first and hopefully that will be good enough. Unless I'm feeling in a toxic mood, I might try some TSP.
Isn't primer the same thing as flat paint?
I will check out to see what the prices are for interior paints at SW and see how they compare.
So I should do 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of paint for a durable finish?
Is high gloss necessary for a washable finish?
I really appreciate all the fast responses and help. Thanks :)
Tsp works great, though - and you'll notice that almost every chemical to use in various DIY projects have similar warnings.
I prefer Walmart for my paint - $15.00/gallon for all my tinted paints. I usually do textured walls with more than one color so I'd prefer to save as much as possible - and I've never had a problem with quality of paint.
I do buy my Kilz from Home Depot, though.
I've never tried the more expensive brands - I imagine some are different, might work better - but I've never shelled out the money to explore the differences.
Whatever your prep consists of (baking soda, TSP, simple green...), make sure to flush the stuff off when you're done washing, too! Clean water and clean rags, rinsing them often and changing the water. Getting a nice, clean (as possible) surface will assist with paint adhesion and give you a longer paint life span. Let it dry thoroughly before priming.
Primers are NOT the same as flat paint, altho some people do get away with using it as such. A primer is formulated to help the topcoat bond to the substrate (oh, fancy words, eh? lol). Primers also help to 'forgive' the dirt left behind, helping to prevent fisheyes from greasy spots and so on. Killz is "just OK"; it'll work, but I don't think it lives up to its stain killing reputation. Poor man's primer. :no:
Just get some decent primer, apply it (watching for runs!), and use 2 coats of a good paint (we're talking at LEAST $20/gallon). I like Glidden, Ben Moore, of course SW and Valspar. You don't have to use an actual gloss to get a washable surface. Semi-gloss is washable, and satin a little less so. I'd suggest semi or satin for a 'warm' look to your room....gloss is runnier, less forgiving, and the benefits are not worth that 'ultra shiny' look, IMHO. I hate it, in fact.
For best results, you might try cutting in the walls 2x before you paint, to prevent 'hat banding' at the top and in corners. Do it once, then go back and do it again and start rollin'. 3/8" nap roller sleeve.
Have fun!
~Mike (12 yrs. residential painter) :)
If price is a major issue, SuperSpec (Ben Moore) or ProMar (SW) are the tier of contractor grade paints I use alot so price those and see if the store will extend you a discount. I believe each has another tier down for apartment turnover situations etc. that is still better than Behr, Valspar or any of the box store brands.
For big-box paint, my results with Behr - I've used it a lot - is that the flatter the paint, the better the outcome. Flat Behr works just fine. Eggshell a little less-so. Satin sucks. Semi-Gloss is horrid. Haven't gone beyond that. However, I have found that Behr paint sprays out of my Wagner really well, without thinning. Probably because the paint is thin to begin with?
I've also used a lot of Glidden, but only in Flat. It worked well. I think it's hard to screw up flat paint though. I've also used paint from Ace, Menards (whatever their cheap brand is), and WalMart. Ace was probably the best out of those.
I did get a "designer" paint from Ace once - it was a satin white. I only bought it because they were discontinuing the brand at that store and it was the same price as the other paints, I was only doing closets. That paint probably went 2x as far as the next gallon of cheapo satin white I had to buy to finish the job.
not sure why you would ask people on this board for advice and at the same time tell them that you aren't going to listen to their advice by using box store paint =)
Like others have commented - wash the walls good with a TSP mix, or Mex, or something else that won't leave a residue. Prime with a good primer (you can get zinsser 1-2-3 anywhere for less than $20 a gallon). Here in NY Ben Moore Regal Flat can be found for @ $25 a gallon.
Hmm? He was quite polite and thanked us for the replies.
As far as cleaning your work surfaces - since you have many different projects going on - keep in mind that classic cleaners that cost minimal are vinegar, baking soda, borax, lemon juice.
A cleaning pumice stone is super cheap and excellent for cleaning ceramics (ceramic tile, sinks, stoves) (i've found mine in the paint-department at Walmart ONLY - I've never seen it anywhere else around here!)
Rubbing alcohol is cheap, too - and an excellent way to clean areas that need to be treated with silicon - yet for some things like the wax from a toilet ring - you'll want to get a solvent release (usually sold in the paint isle near the thinners) that'll dissolve the wax.
Now - for future reference, to keep paint clean you can scrub it with basic, classic white toothpaste (like what grandma use to use) that has no gel in it - just a paste - with or without baking soda.
But often soap/water for finger-smudges and so on works great.
Oh - and Mr Clean Magic Erasers - they're quite cheap for how good of a job they do.
You should plan on a primer and two coats no matter what but especially if you want to be able to wash walls. If the paint is good quality you do not need high gloss. In fact, clients for whom I have used Ben Moore Aura are amazed at the washability of the flat. It is pricey thoughbut worth it if you have kids I suppose. If you need another reason to change your mind and reconsider, you will not be able to wash WalMart or box store paint much.
For kitchen and bath environments with algae to wipe off now and then or food splatter issues, semi-gloss might be a better bet than lesser sheens.
Remember, the higher the gloss the more imperfections in the wall surface are going to tend to show up and catch the light!
You should prime it with kilz and paint with behr. Of course you should use a Wagner power painter to spray it on. Don't forget not to mask anything. You should sand the dirty walls with 60 grit (belt sander will work) and clean the walls with with Xylene before you paint. You'll get great results, promise. :whistling2:
Good one! I love xylene too!
So much running around blind... Some folks are so swayed by publicity, or propaganda, or the TV, or what the neighbour said, or the number of $ they think they'll "save" that so little time is spent on what matters - even in a paint job.
So Rcon's answer is right on. Give them something to think about instead of bleating how many dollars they have to spend.
Meanwhile, keep on filling your face in your Nikes...:laughing:

Five Days, Five Dinners: July 21-25
Weeknight chaos can make putting a home-cooked meal on the table a daunting task.
Don't fret—our handy meal planner relies on a few key ingredients and gives new life to leftovers, so you can serve a delicious meal each night no matter what.
This week, fill your plate with color. Whether its yellow squash, green zucchini, or red tomatoes, summer's bounty of fresh vegetables makes cooking a color-centric meal so easy. In addition to staples such as lemons and fresh herbs, make sure to buy enough vegetables in advance to make Monday and Tuesday night's dishes.
Monday: Chicken with Ratatouille
Tuesday: Farmers' Market Pasta Salad
Wednesday: Grain Salad with Grilled Shrimp and Sweet Peppers
Thursday: Turkey Cutlets with Lemon Sauce
Friday: Chicken Enchiladas
Monday: Pour your best farmers' market finds into one-skillet Chicken with Ratatouille, and feel free to substitute whatever vegetables you wish. Serve quinoa or your favorite grain on the side and let it soak up flavor from the ratatouille.
Tuesday: We're stuck on pasta salads this summer, so we couldn't resist sharing another one with you. Don't be afraid to stray from the ingredient list in Farmers' Market Pasta Salad to use up any remaining veggies in your kitchen. The accompanying Parmesan Vinaigrette is a recipe to keep on hand—you'll love the balance of salty, sweet and tangy. Make a double recipe to use throughout the week when you need a burst of flavor.
Wednesday: The week's halfway over—crack open a beer, fire up the grill, and make Grain Salad with Grilled Shrimp and Sweet Peppers. Cook the bulgur in advance so all you need to do is grill the shrimp and the vegetables. Here's an idea—leave out the lemon juice and add a splash of last night's Parmesan Vinaigrette instead.
Thursday: Speedy and budget-friendly Turkey Cutlets with Lemon-Caper Sauce are on the dinner table in just 25 minutes. Serve over a bed of angel hair pasta and toss together a simple green salad with balsamic vinaigrette on the side.
Friday: To celebrate the end of the week, feast on Chicken Enchiladas with friends. Throw in our Pink Cadillac Margaritas and you've got yourself a Mexican fiesta. To save time, shred meat from a rotisserie chicken and opt for ready-to-heat rice. (We like Seeds of Change Spanish Style Rice.)

Scheme Outline
Scheme details
- Timescale
- 2008-2011
- Status
- Completed
- Type
- New road under motorway restrictions
- Cost
- £ 320m
- Authority
- Transport Scotland
- Region: Scotland
- Finance
- Scottish Executive/DBFO
- Length
- 19.3 km
- 12.0 miles
Partially on-line and partially off-line upgrade of A80 between Stepps and Haggs to two-lane motorway, to link existing sections of M80 north of Haggs and south of Stepps.
|14 February 2003
|Scottish Executive announces large-scale spending on transport, including the completion of the M80 route. For the first time a definite date has been given for this scheme.
|14 October 2005
|Scheme goes to public inquiry. Objections to the route are expected to be because the road is an online upgrade - many objectors want to see the original off-line Kelvin Valley Route resurrected. This plan was for a dual three-lane road away from built-up areas, while the current plans would only give a dual two-lane road through Cumbernauld itself.
|14 August 2006
|The public inquiry is over and the project will now definitely go ahead, with a start date in 2008.
|14 March 2007
|Three construction companies have been invited to submit tenders for the scheme.
|6 November 2008
|Approximately two miles of trees have been felled alongside the A80 between Mollinsburn and Auchenkilns in preparation for the widening of this section of the road.
|19 January 2009
|4 July 2009
|Earthworks, drainage and pavement works for a temporary road are being undertaken prior to construction of the new Hornshill Interchange. Preparations of North Road overbridge reconstruction are underway, with a temporary overbridge being assembled. Advanced works on the green field section (Stepps - Mollinsburn) are substantially complete, and earthworks are progressing in this section.
|1 November 2009
|Average Speed Cameras from Moodiesburn to Haggs go live on 02/11/09 to help enforce the 40 mph limit. It will remain in place on the A80 until the updgrade is complete, when the road will then be returned to 70 mph.
|18 February 2010
|There are regular delays for southbound traffic at busy periods due to the closure of the Mollinsburn and M73 slips. There have been reports of delays of up to 55 minutes heading south from the Stirling area.
|5 May 2010
|Road construction at the Hornshill Interchange area is progressing well. Works are ongoing in the verges and a traffic management switchover is targeted for May 2010, to complete centre carriageway works. Construction has already commenced on the Hornshill B757 link road which is due to be completed by mid-summer 2010. The main M80 carriageway construction, from the Hornshill Junction to Lindsaybeg Road, remains on programme to be complete by late autumn 2010.
|2 September 2010
|New northbound carriageway now open between Mollinsburn and Auchenkilns carrying North and Southbound traffic. Meanwhile reconstruction of former Southbound carriageway has commenced on the same stretch.
|29 January 2011
|A partial northbound section will open early on the 7th of February, with the southbound section expected to open a week later.
|9 February 2011
|The new section from Hornshill to Mollinsburn is now open to northbound traffic and due to open to southbound traffic by 14th Feb.
|15 February 2011
|New section of the M80 is fully open.
|22 July 2011
|The 40mph speed restriction on the northbound carriageway will be removed on 23 July 2011. A section of the southbound carriageway between junction 5 (Auchenkilns) and 4 (Mollinsburn) will remain at 40mph until work at the M80/M73 junction is completed. The scheme is expected to be fully open in a few weeks.
|1 November 2011
|The road is complete and open to traffic.

Matt Freije nailed a 18 foot fade-a-way jumper at the buzzer
to give the Harlem Globetrotters their first defeat of the
season and second in two years as the Commodores won 70-68
Monday night at Memorial Gym. Junior Matt Freije led the 'Dores
with 24 points and 7 rebounds on 8-16 shooting.
Although the Commodores led virtually the entire game, the
Globetrotters showed their veteran poise as they mounted a
comeback as they trailed 66-59 with only 3:49 to play. The
Globetrotters cut the lead to 68-66 with 1:30 left, and later
tied the game with only :14 remaining before Matt Freije's
With a student crowd in excess of 2,000, the fans at Memorial
Gym were treated to en electrifying evening of basketball.
Sophomore Jason Holwerda set the tone early when he vaulted
over former Razorback Brandon Dean in a dunk attempt that
he unfortunately failed to convert. With the crowd good and
juiced, sophomore Martin Schnedlitz took the ball right at
former Tennessee Tech star Lorenzo Coleman and scored over
the 7-1 giant. Again Memorial Gym was energized when junior
Matt Freije took his man off the dribble and reverse dunked
with 3:38 remaining in the first half.
The most impressive aspect of the Commodore victory was the
tenacity with which they played defense. Junior point guard
Russell Lakey gave every guard the Globetrotters threw at
him fits as he recorded one steal and drew three charges.
Down the stretch, it was sophomore forward Brian Thornton
who snatched three critical rebounds among the likes of NBA
veterans Olden Polynice and Todd Day.
Three young Commodores saw their first action Monday night.
Point guard Mario Moore, guard Adam Payton, and forward Julian
Terrell contributed significantly on the offensive and defensive
The most frightening play of the game came in the second
half when Freije spotted up for a three and Louisville alum
Alex Sanders took Matt out on the shot and sent the forward
sprawling to the ground. Matt got right back up and shook
off the injury.
Vanderbilt returns to action Friday night at 7 pm as the
Commodores host Upstate New York in the final exhibition game
of the year.

Texas Prosecutor Faces Jail Time for Crimes Against Justice
Ken Anderson helped put an innocent man behind bars. Now, nearly 30 years later, he may finally get his comeuppance. He faces ten years in prison if convicted on all three charges against him: contempt of court, tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, and tampering with government records.
Anderson was the Texas prosecutor who helped wrongfully convict pharmacy manager Michael Morton of beating his own wife to death in the family's Austin-area home in 1986. For years, Morton accused Anderson of withholding evidence that would exonerate him—including the testimony of his young son, who told police at the crime scene "a monster" killed his mother, and that "Daddy wasn't home."
It took more than two decades, but Morton was eventually released based on DNA evidence collected from the crime scene—evidence that could have been tested years ago but wasn't, thanks to the stonewalling of Anderson and his colleague, John Bradley.
Anderson, now a judge in Texas, is currently on trial for prosecutorial misconduct in the Morton case.
Sadly, stories like Morton's are all too common across the American criminal justice system. Since 1992, the state of Texas has handed out $65 million to 89 wrongfully convicted individuals—Morton alone has received $1.96 million for his 25 years behind bars.
Things in California are even worse: 120 people have been exonerated since 1989, costing the state $129 million.
Dealing with the fallout of wrongful convictions has become so commonplace that in 2009, Texas Governor Rick Perry signed a law ensuring certain wrongfully convicted individuals receive $80,000 per year as long as they live, as well as state health insurance benefits. While such a law surely helps make life easier for exonerated victims of an overzealous criminal justice system, it does little to hinder prosecutors from pursuing, or even rigging, future bunk cases.
"Prosecutors have absolute civil immunity from suit. Even if they lie, or put an informant on the stand who they know is lying, you can't sue them."
That a prosecutor like Anderson faces any repurcussions for his actions is a rarity. From 2004 to 2011, only one Texas prosecutor faced sanctions from the state's Bar Association—despite 19 convictions being overturned during the same time period due to prosecutorial misconduct.
It's perhaps not surprising that prosecutors are loath to bring charges against their own. What is shocking, however, is that in Texas and across America the wrongfully convicted are largely unable to seek justice against prosecutors even in the form of a civil trial.
"Prosecutors have absolute civil immunity from suit," Alexandra Natapoff, author of Snitching: Criminal Informants and the Erosion of American Justice, tells TakePart. "Even if they lie, or put an informant on the stand who they know is lying, you can't sue them."
That immunity was recently reinforced by the 2011 Supreme Court case Connick v. Thompson, which ruled that even those who have been on the receiving end of willful misconduct—withholding or tampering with evidence for instance—on the part of prosecutors have virtually no right to seek civil litigation against those who wronged them.
Social justice advocates are trying to change that, although the specifics of the proposed reforms remain vague.
"We need to make sure meaningful external processes exist to investigate deliberate misconduct by the very people we entrust to be our guardians of justice," prominent defense attorney and Innocence Project codirector Barry Scheck wrote last May in the American-Statesman.
A guilty verdict delivered against Ken Anderson would likely go a long way toward discouraging prosecutors from indulging in such blatant misconduct.
A guilty verdict, however, will do little to pacify advocates like the Innocence Project's Scheck, who argue that systemic change is the only solution to ensuring innocent men and women will no longer be railroaded by corrupt prosecutors: "Simply doing nothing is a disservice to everyone, not least of all the hardworking men and women in district attorneys' offices across the country whose reputations are tainted when the bad actors compromise the integrity of the system."
Will putting prosecutors on trial for misconduct allow guilty criminals to go free? State your theories in COMMENTS.

Any smart traveller ducking across to Sydney for a few days pays the extra $20-$30 for the travel insurance that covers the cost of unplanned misadventure while away. Who'd have thought there'd be a need for such a product for people taking a night out in Auckland?
In its absence, Auckland Council is trying to cobble together a compensation package for victims of the rail-service meltdown on the day of the Rugby World Cup opening.
The dilemma it faces is twofold. Who should be compensated and who should do the paying. On Wednesday, Auckland councillors, by 10 votes to eight, agreed to poke a stick at the problem and see what happens. "Given the special circumstances," councillors resolved to "note the proposed compensation arrangements, the suggested sharing of costs and the unbudgeted contribution from Council towards compensation to rugby game patrons severely delayed by rail services on a case by case basis."
They were reacting to an officials' report proposing a complimentary ticket to a probable All Black semifinal to those who missed both opening ceremony and full match, and a free ticket to a probable All Black quarter-final to those who missed the opening ceremony and part of the opening match.
The cost of this compensation was estimated at $50,000-$60,000, and officials proposed that the funding be shared between the various "stakeholders that had a role to play in the organisation of Friday's opening events." The proposed "starting position" was to share the cost equally between Auckland Council, the Government and train operators Veolia.
With the Eden Park quarter-final starting on October 8, and tickets selling steadily, that does not leave a lot of time to line up the three nominated "donors", or to assess, case by case, upwards of 2000 potential claims.
Rightly, Auckland Council agencies quickly apologised for their part in the chaos that marred opening night. But the Government is accepting no blame, pointing the finger directly back at Auckland Transport, the council's transport arm.
Auckland Transport, in turn, has turned the heat up on Veolia for its shortcomings in lack of communications with passengers and providing security staff. Under this sort of pressure, one suspects Veolia will be reluctant to confess to anything at this stage.
As Councillor Dick Quax pointed out, another complication is that the proposed compensation elevates one category of victims - those holding a ticket to the All Blacks versus Tonga match - above other passengers whose experiences were for them at least, as terrifying and upsetting as those people delayed on their trip to Eden Park.
In the Weekend Herald, several victims described their scary hours stuck in trains and then of being caught up on the over-crowded waterfront streets, in front of screens that, in two cases, failed to deliver. Nevertheless, if Eden Park wasn't their ultimate destination, they are not being offered any compensation. In other words, your distress has to include the financial loss of a wasted - or under-used - game ticket.
When quizzed whether the proposed payout would set a precedent for the council, its house lawyer, Wendy Brandon, told councillors they had the option of taking a strictly legal line or of adopting the discretionary, one-off approach Mayor Len Brown was proposing. By a small majority, they followed the mayor.
Undoubtedly, as a political gesture it's a good way to damp down the outrage of the affected ticket holders. But as Mr Quax asks, what about the grumpy concert-goers a month later whose train breaks down and, as a result, they miss the show. Are they not entitled to similar compensation?
If this deal goes ahead, what are councillors going to do if long-suffering bus passengers finally rise up in protest about meetings and appointments missed because of absent buses. Why not payouts for those who are regularly sinned against?

Most of us don't give our body much thought until something goes wrong and it causes us pain or discomfort.
But when you begin to tune in, you'll find that your body actually has exquisite ways to communicate all sorts of important information with you. And one of the ways it does this is through cravings.
When our body begins to generate strong cravings for certain kinds of foods, we can be sure it is trying to communicate something to us.
At first it can feel confusing to figure out because sometimes our cravings often don't make sense. I can remember a woman I was working with asking me, "I have such intense cravings for foods that I know aren't good for me…it makes me wonder why I would want to trust my body at all?"
I can understand that perspective from the first glance. But when we look a little deeper and trust in the process, we can identify what is out of whack by using our cravings as signals.
Here are 8 potential causes of cravings. Let's look at these as a starting point.
1. Water
Dehydration can often be perceived as mild hunger. If you find that you are getting strange cravings of hunger when you have eaten recently, try drinking a large glass of water and waiting 10-15 minutes to see if the hunger signals stave off. Or try to stay ahead of the game and keep yourself hydrated through the day.
2. Lack of a Core Need
When we are not filled and satisfied in areas of our life that are more essential to our well being like joy, meaning, creativity, purpose, love, laughter, we can begin to substitute the food we eat for our lack in those areas. Being in a difficult or unloving relationship, being bored or unmotivated at our jobs, lack of exercise, being cooped up indoors for too long, or feeling stagnant in personal growth can all manifest as strong food cravings, particularly for sweet foods.
3. Ying/Yang Balance
Our bodies function under the need to maintain homeostatis or dynamic balance. When we are out of harmony, we often will experience a strong craving to counter the excess in our diets or lives. Foods and experiences have either yin qualities (expansive) or yang qualities (contractive). For example if we are craving sweet foods (high yin) we may need to examine if there is an excess of contractive elements or foods in our diet or life.
4. Comfort Seeking
Foods are used by many of us from a very young age to reward, calm, nurture and comfort us when we are feeling sad, lonely or needy. This emotional connection to food can become deeply seeded and will often continue to play out in our adult life without our even being aware of it. Sometimes the craving we is simply our conditioning to reach for certain foods that temporarily make us feel better or to numb us from uncomfortable feelings.
5. Seasonal
The foods that are naturally harvested in each season, also have qualities that balance the elements of that season. For example foods that are in abundance in the summer months, work to cool our bodies off in the heat of the season. In this way, our bodies have an intuitive sense of which foods will help balance what we are getting an excess of in each season. The longer we eat in season, the more we find these natural cravings surface.
6. Lack of Nutrients
In today's modern world, we have available foods that are completely lacking of nutritional value– they have been so overly processed that they contain calories but little to no nutrients. This is never the case in nature. And so our bodies don't count calories, but they seek the adequate amount of nutrients and will continue to exhibit hunger signals until they receive the nutrients needed to survive. I have seen many times a dramatic reduction of someone's cravings when they switch from processed to real foods.
7. Sugar Addiction
Never before in human history have we consumed the amount of sugar that we do now. Our bodies are simply not designed to manage it and often times the impact it has on our body is more like a drug than a food. Sugar consumption can set up biochemical responses that will cause intense cravings for more and more sugar. Getting a handle on this one aspect of our diet makes a huge difference in our physical, mental and emotional health.
8. Glass Ceiling Syndrome
Have you ever noticed that when things are starting to go really well, you find yourself self-sabotaging? If we are feeling strong, energized and healthy, we can also find ourselves facing intense cravings toward foods that will depress our mood and success. If we give in, we can begin the intense craving cycles that keep us swinging between highs and lows in attempts to balance ourselves. But if we recognize this happening we can thwart the attack and keep on track.
Most of us don't have much practice in trusting our body to give us the information we need to keep it healthy and vibrant, but once we begin to practice the art and science of becoming our own health expert, the language gets clearer and clearer.
What meaning have you discovered underneath your body's signals? Have you experienced any of the above possible causes of cravings?

It's not kydex, but it works for me.

Anyone using a kydex holster for concealed carry for their J frame I W B. Ive been trying to find a good holster for my J Frame S&W 442. Would like to see a pic or 2 if you have one available. I want to carry my J frame but unless I find a decent holster I'll have to sell it and move on to something easier to get equipment for.
When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns.
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around laws. Plato
Thanks for the reply but unfortunately I cant use anything with a belt loop style holster. My waist size makes it so the belt loop is in the way
The holster ends up either to far forward or to far back. I got a hundreds of bucks of holsters I've been selling at a loss because they just don't work A holster collection that doesn't work I don't need. I'm having trouble in general finding a holster that's concealable and retains the gun at the same time. I keep getting the same story from each maker that j frames are hard to retain in a holster because of how they are shaped.
Everyone wants to put a thumb break on them to keep them put.
When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns.
Have you considered a hybrid holsters? We offer a holster for S&W J frames.
S&W J Frame ACE-1 Holster
Retention should be good (you should be able to run and jump without being worried about the revolver coming out). Its a very comfortable design.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Black Arch Holsters
SHTF Gear is now Black Arch Holsters
Check out Simply Rugged holsters, they make wonderfully holsters IWB or OWB for the J frame and you won't need a retention strap.
They are not kydex but try High Noon. I carry a SP-101 in a Tail Gunner carries and conceals well.
Comp-tac has a couple of kydex IWB options for j-frames: Inside Waistband Holsters - products new home - Two O'Clock or Inside Waistband Holsters - products new home - C-TAC Holster.
Have you tried these?
I haven't and probably won't... I imagine the hard edges of kydex would be exceedingly uncomfortable IWB, on curved hips.
I'm sure the retention is good, though.

I have a simply rugged for my J-frame and it sits well just forward of my right hip.
Since I am in my late 60's and a 34 inch waist, it was difficult to find one that would work for me.
It takes a little getting used to, but that wil be the case with any. This one has the standard
and forward cant slots and can be used with a 1 1/2 inch belt. It hides well, btw!
Hope your quest ends in success. TKH from warm cloudy Oregon
Not a fan of kydex, especially for revolvers. I'm old school, I like leather. I use a Don Hume IWB or I pocket carry.

i like leather for the wheel guns, but have you checked out the kholster holster, its a crossbreed supertuck clone but it has a lifetime warranty and was about 50 bucks if i remember right
In what position are you looking to carry? IWB or OWB?
The best things in life are not free.
They are paid for with the blood of brave men and women!

I got one from dead eye Luke on the way. It's IWB and $34 shipped. I have only read good things about them.

"A ___ is better than the ___ you left at/ in the ____" -- My answer to 99% of the ?'s on here
I have a Tommy Theis hybrid horsehide for my J frame and it works terrifically. I can snap a picture for you if you need.
Thanks Kadonny but I haven't found a hybrid that works for me yet. I don't like the mix of leather and kydex. And yes the custom makers in my area have told me retention isn't as easy to build into a holster designed around a J frame some better than others. But most want to put thumb brakes on them.
When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns.
I have just received a White Hat Max Tuck and am giving it its shake down now. I opted for the Kydex/Velcro clips, but might just use the spring clips.
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
