My deck is in horrible looking. The boards are starting to crack, splinter and 1 is starting to rot. I really need to tear it down and have it rebuilt however I don't have the money for it right now. (13k for a new wood deck because of the size) anyways I keep seeing the Behr deckover stuff. I looked into the rustoleum and I don't like the texture since it feels like walking on stones. I'm not a fan of Behr products (I only use Sherwin Williams paints/stains) however this product peaked my interest. Does anyone have any experience with it? The size of my deck is currently 20x25 and is stained a horrid yellow/mustard color (previous owners did it) which luckily isn't flaking. Do I need to strip this first? I'm worried if I do the boards will literally shred. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Looks interesting. The instruction say to remove any peeling paint, so it sounds like as long as the paint is adhering well, you can paint over it. There are some youtube videos also ifyou are interested. |

We just used it on our deck 2 weeks ago! So far so good and we haven't done the second coat yet due to weather. I walked barefoot on it a few times, it feels very similar to the other section of our deck which is composite decking. I can't wait to get the second coat on there! It was easy to apply with a roller, and dry time was about a day or so (although packaging says 48 hours before heavy traffic). Good luck! |

Any feedback so far, e.g. filling in cracks, scratching when moving furniture? |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Mon, Jul 22, 13 at 19:13
bump. I'm still interested in feedback on this product. Other Internet reviews are mixed. |
I'm interested in this, too. DH wants to use this on our deck this coming weekend, but I am a little doubtful. |
My dad and I tried this on his deck and NEVER again. We went incredibly slow and the weather was perfect so no issues with rain, humidity etc. It took forever to apply and forever to dry not to mention several cans of it. The color (chocolate brown) had a pink undertone to it. The "paint" is peeling already and just looks horrible. The deck was about 8 years old and just needed to be freshened up. Because of all the stuggles and how it now looks we'll be replacing the base of the deck in the upcoming weeks. |
Are you serious?? I've heard similar reports. My neighbors used it a few weeks ago and it is holding up, but it's really too soon to tell. I know they were unhappy with their color, too. :( |

From my perspective anything Behr is not a good product. And products that tend to be a cure all or fix all are generally crap as well! |

I'm doing my deck in semi-transparent Australian Timber Oil. I called Lowes today and they suggested I use outdoor stainable plastic wood to fill the creacks before finishing. My cracks are wide and deep because the cedar deck is over 12 years old. I stain it every 2-3 years. Anyone tried this? It costs $11,98 a quart. Will take several quarts but that is a lot cheaper than 13 to 15 gallons of the Behr product. |
We completed our deck product recently using a similar product. We were happy with the results, especially considering the cost of a new deck or composite. |

Minimally invasive colon surgery
At Baptist East, surgeons can use advanced, minimally invasive robotic and laparoscopic techniques to perform colon resection surgery to correct a variety of colorectal conditions. These include: colon cancer, diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's Disease, inflammatory bowel disease, polyps, tumors (benign and malignant), and other injuries to the colon.
During a resection of the colon (which is also called the large intestine or large bowel), the surgeon removes the diseased or damaged portion of the colon or the entire colon, then sews the healthy ends of the intestine back together. This procedure is called intestinal anastomosis.
Traditional, open colon surgery requires long incisions in the abdomen, resulting in an average hospital stay of five to eight days and six weeks recovery time. Minimally invasive techniques require a much shorter hospital stay, and patients return to normal activities when they feel comfortable (except heavy lifting).
Advantages to minimally invasive colon resection include:
- Low blood loss and less risk of infection
- Shorter hospital stay
- Less postoperative pain
- Faster recovery time
- Faster return to normal diet and colon function
- Quicker return to normal activities
- Smaller scar due to smaller surgical incisions
Laparoscopic Colon Resection
During laparoscopic colon surgery, the surgeon makes four or five small incisions (about one-half inch), then inserts a laparoscope (a tiny telescope attached to a video camera) into one of the openings, allowing the surgeon to see inside the abdomen.
The surgeon then inserts miniature surgical instruments through the other openings and uses these to remove the diseased section of bowel and reattach the healthy segments. A slightly larger incision is usually made to remove the diseased section of colon from the body. The surgery takes 2 to 3 hours.
Colon resection using the da Vinci Surgical System
Some patients may be candidates for colon resection using the da Vinci Surgical System, an advanced technology that is less invasive and more precise, and provides a faster recovery than other techniques. During a da Vinci colon resection, the surgeon makes a series of 1- to 2-centimeter incisions, and inserts a miniature video camera and tiny, specially designed instruments through ports into the surgical site.
The surgeon maneuvers the instruments robotically, from an ergonomically-designed work station a few feet from the operating table. At the console, the surgeon views the surgical site on a high-definition video monitor that provides a magnified, three-dimensional view of the body's interior. Other members of the surgical team stand by to assist, closely monitoring the patient and the robot-controlled instruments.

(502) 897-8131.

Well, I guess my first post was rejected for some reason, so I'll try again. The lower churchill development, including Gull Island, and muskrat falls have been in development since 1967...so could developing a project for over 40 years be considered rushing???I don't think so. When the well educated, well experienced professionals at Nalcor, some with PHDs in the generation and distribution of electricity, come forward and say after years of scutiny that a dam at Muskrat would be far better than any other option, I tend to believe them. Then they go outside the province, and they choose one of the best companies on the globe, Navigant to take a look I said great, but not neccessary. Navigant came back and said the project is the lowest cost option, and we will need the power. Then we went to our pub, we gave them 2 million dollars and over nine months to look over the deal, including granting one extension. The PUB hired a well reknowned company out of Manitoba, MHI. They arer known throughout the world as experts when it comes to Hydro electricy. They also came back to say that muskrat is the lowest cost option, and that we will need the power. Our own well known economist Wade Locke has come out in support of the project. He explained to us with charts and graphs and MUN how the deal is the lowest cost option, and why we will need the power. Jack Harrris, Dean Macdonald, Danny Williams,have all come out in support of the project. So the question is....do you listen to what people like Maurice and Cyrill, who write in to the Tely, or do you listen to the professionals at Nalcor, who get up and go to work everyday and do this for a living?Lastly Ms. Frampton, you talk about the government's Plan of action...as if that's some sort of dirty word. We will be in a power deficit by 2017, and in true trouble by 2020. We have already wasted way to much time and money showing the naysayers why this deal is viable. Now we have more studies coming this fall to the house, showing why wind can't stand alone, and why gas to holyrood would cost untold billions of dollars for a nonrenewable resource. How many more times must they explain this projects merits? You will never convince people like Maurice and Cyrill, because they don't deal in reality, they don't use real data. Muskrat is a very good answer to our future energy needs, clean energy that comes totally from NL for NL....let's get it done!

You know why the "John Smith" gig is better than any above-ground, named person in this governemnt? Because if and when there's any sort of post-mortem to write, any hint of accountability or answers required from those who did their 'little bit' to help sell this snake oil, sugar-coat reality, and lead everyone down the garden path, John Smith wil ble nowhere to be found. He will simply go radio silent and vanish in the ether....more completely than even Newfoundland's timeless assortment of spineless (but at least identified) politicians do.

- Cyril Rogers
- August 04, 2012 - 13:56
Valid question, Ms Frampton, and one that needs to be seriously addressed but will not be answered. In the eyes of government, this project will proceed in spite of all kinds of concerns.......... and evidence to suggest that it has serious flaws and could very will hamper our financial ability for decades. The fact that, as Mr. Adams points out, we have minisucle growth, and little prospect of future growth, seems to be ignored by these people. Who are we building this project for? Certainly not for the people of this island, when much cheaper alternatives exist, as and if they are ever needed. Would you consider it prudent to buy a Bentley when a Volkwagen will do just as well? Why do we need the power? For whom? Nova Scotia? Do we really benefit when it will cost us a minimum of 16 cents to produce, at current projected project costs, while they get it for free. Yes, we get the transmission line in 35 years but they will charge us extra transmission costs to send it there and the true cost will be much higher than that. With cost over runs it could easily be triple that number and we will never be able to sell it. The mines in Labrador? Only if we subsidize 50-75% of it! That will be hundreds of millions that they are not factoring into their "least cost" scenario. Further, why are we being required to take 40% of it through NL Hydro when there will be very few days in the year when we use all of it......even if Holyrood is shuttered completely. By the way, Holyrood will not be shut down, since they need a backup system. Their "rising price for oil" scenario is also way off the mark, even over the last 5 years......and they tell us they know what the price of oil will be over the next 55 years!!! How gullible would we be to accept these kinds of prognostications? Nobody can know for certain but it is obvious that other technologies will be available for energy, and the more the price of oil goes up the more economical these newer technologies become.....long before oil reaches 200 per barrel. Muskrat Falls should be looked upon as a product of the past and one that will not pass the test of economic viability going forward. Its failure is evident in the government's INABILITY to borrow for much of the capital costs. What happens if we need another 2 or 3 billion to finish it off.....a prospect that is very likely. As for their "expert" advisors, MHI, they are reported to be 86% over budget on a dam project in Manitoba for which they are provided technical and financial advice. Think of the implications of such cost over runs on MF! Should that not be a red flag to all of us...even the government?
- Winston Adams
- August 04, 2012 - 11:23
Maurice, yes Nalcor puts a positive spin on Muskrat Falls, Just as you puts a negative spin. But why spin at all? 18,000 bbls per day burned at Holyrood when at full capacity. This apparently is correct and true,the problem being we hit that only 5 or 6 days in the winter. On average, at 44 percent capacity, that about 8000 bbls per day, costing over 100 million per year and considerable polution. You say it operated at capacity on average only 1.6 percent of the time. This is itself is as misleading as Nalcor and Kennedy. The middle ground better reflects the situation, and this unit is to handle the peak load, and so for a safety margin it should not be assumed we have lots of reserve, and the load is increasing some. And again, yes , Nalcor used the long term growth to spin their case, just as you use the shorter time frame to spin your assessment. In recent years we have lost significant industrial load, which keeps the recent load growth average down. But during this time, electric heating loads have continued to increase, and this load is expected to increase, failing a effecient heating innicative. There is now less room for Nalcor to err on the forecast as they did before, but may very well do so. the two big risks are 1. Corner Brook mill shutting down and 2. effecient heating conversiions; with out without government assistance to consumers. The potential in reduction by effecient heating is 600 Mw, more than MF average output. But to claim we should or need to gain this much immediately would be misleading. But chopping 30 Mw per year with efficient heating, and with modest new local water and wind addition will put the expensive MF on hold for 20 years or more, and stabalize prices to consumers. To spin, by Nalcor or you is to fearmonger. All of us should reason and reasonable numbers and calculations. I invite critism of my figures, least I too might be acused of spinning. Your extreme numbers may help bring attention to the financial dangers of this project, but it's past time for Nalcor and you to stop fearmongering. We will not at all need to ration electricity on the island, or be cold without heat. And a reasoned full assessment of all the options ( effecieny is presently not being assessed) will avoid a financial mess. As the title of Pam's article says " What's the rush with the dam"

- John Smith
- August 04, 2012 - 09:38
The thing is though, Pam and Maurice, that it is not just the governement that has looked at this development. As I have said before, all I needed (as a citizen of this province, and a rate payer),is for the people at Nalcor to come forward and say that Muskrat is the best option...period. That would be good enough for me. Why? Because they have some of the best people in, not only Canada, but the entire world working there. They are not arm chair politicians, washed up has beens, retirerees with axes to grind, and the rest of the lunatic fringe that make up the naysayers group. They are professional, well educated, well experienced, experts in the field. What an insult it must be for those people to read the misleading, uninformed, and ignorant rants by many who are against the project. I guess, Pam, it comes down to are you going to listen to Brain Peckford, or the people at Nalcor, Navigant, MHI, Wade Locke, Dean Macdonald, Jack Harris, Darrel Dexter, and all the experts that those people have in their employ? Again, I think I know which group I will listen to, and it's not the octagenarians who write in to the Tely. It's the people who have dedicated their entire lives to the generation, and distribution of energy in our province, smart competent people. Yeah, I think I'll stick with those guys...

John Smith: it is precisely your kind --- the totally in-the-bag, politically blinkered, toadie mole ---- whose opinion on this issue is worth less than squadoosh. You are a hindrance to insight, another impedimet to asking for deserved answers, an extension (perhaps even one getting a taxpayer salary?) of the very government whose boots you lick. If this project is worth my money, the government and NALCOR should --- nay MUST --- be perfectly able and willing to make an airthight case for Muskrsat given the immense economic stakes....that legitimate public debate still rages ---- not on nuances or tangential issues, but on the most fundamental facts ---- speaks volumes.
- John Smith
- August 06, 2012 - 08:15
But why is my opinion not worth anything? Because I support the project? I can debate the merits of the project, if you say what you find bad about the project I can debate that with you. But the name calling thing...childish

Very well said, Ms. Frampton. "carefully crafted to bolster its own plan". If there is one single thing that signaled the alarm bells for me, and spurred me on to read and understand more about this proposed project --- it is indeed that information has been 'carefully crafted' to give a one-sided, positive impression of its own plan......... Just to mention some carefully crafted positions:------ Early on, Nalcor claimed that its go-forward 0.8% annual 'compound' increase in demand was "conservative" because, after all, our historical 40-year average growth rate was 2.3% annually. Sounds 'reasonable', does it not? ........ Until you dig a little deeper and find out that 98% of that 2.3% historical increase can be attributed to the 20 year period 1970-1989. Over the last (and most relevant) 20-year period (from 1990-2010) our average annual growth rate has been only 0.1% annually (8 times less than Nalcor's so-called 'conservative' go-forward rate of 0.8%)......... Or perhaps we need to look at what Nalcor' vice-president in charge of Muskrat Falls, Glibert Bennett is fond of saying, who was the first one I heard say that Holyrood burns 18,000 bbls of oil a day operating at capacity in winter (Tom Marshall and Jerome Kennedy say the same thing), only when you dig a little deeper you find out that over the last 8 years, even during the worst winter months of Jan, Feb, and March, Holyrood needed to operate on average (not flat out), but on average only at 50% capacity, over the last 6 years that has GONE DOWN (not UP) to 44% capacity, and when it comes to how often it has to actually operate at CAPACITY, over the last 9 year period it needed to do so (at 18,000 bbl a day) on average for only 1.6% of the time each year --- or 5.5 days A YEAR -------- and last year? ----- NOT AT ALL -- ZERO.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Lucy!
Facts about Lucy
- Breed: Shepherd (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Lucy's Info...
I am already spayed, a special needs pet, in need of an experienced adopter, and up to date with shots.
My name is Lucy. I am a beautiful & sweet Shepard. I want to please, love and be a family with you. I am ready. I am well mannered in the house, potty trained, crate trained and have basic obedience skills. I am friendly with large livestock, male dogs and some female dogs. I am smart and easy to please!
I do not like small furry animals. Sorry.
BONUS: I come with a complimentary follow-up training if I am adopted locally. How cool is that?
Come see me!
Other Pets at Rogue Valley Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lucy, a Grants Pass Shepherd (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shepherd (Unknown Type) for sale in Grants Pass, or seeking a Shepherd (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in Grants Pass.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Grants Pass already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Grants Pass breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shepherd (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Shepherd (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Grants Pass paves the way for another one to be saved.

Most people in America can recall a time when they worked for a company that had a terrible office space. Perhaps the cubicles were too close together, the air wasn't ventilated properly, the building was old and smelled funny, or the lighting was terrible. When you work in an area that you don't like, then you don't like going to work, and you can't wait for the chance to get out and head back home. Poorly lit or functioning office spaces don't just make people feel worse, they actually lead to a lower level of productivity. When people don't respect the office space, it becomes difficult for them to respect the company they are working for. In some of the most extreme cases, the only thing a company can do to improve the building they work out of is to move to a new one. However, there are often some small changes that can be made to make people enjoy the space they work in, which will lead to them enjoying their work more. Happier employees leads to a more productive company. Although, in some cases, it may take redoing a ventilation system or knocking down some walls to improve the office space, often it can be done by simply updating the commercial window treatments. In other words, you can drive your company's productivity with commercial blinds and other window treatments.
The way that this works is simple. Installing new commercial blinds, shades, or shutters can improve the overall aesthetic of the office. When people walk in, they will no longer see old blinds and shades that look like they were installed several decades ago, but will rather see new windows that look modern. This will make them feel about the place they work in, and may even lead to them wanting to show off their office space to other people. Commercial window treatments also greatly improve the lighting in a room. For example, shades for businesses can be lowered or raised at will, allowing light to come in during the day, and allowing them to be lowered when the light is too intense. Also, there is an incredible variety of window shades available. Some of them don't allow any light in, while others are nearly transparent, simply taking the glare of the sun away while still keeping a room well lit. The lighting in an office is one of the key indicators of whether or not people will be productive while they are there. Simply think if you had to work out of a basement. It would be incredibly depressing. However, if the lighting were great, you'd find it much easier to be alert at work and complete your tasks for the day.
Commercial window treatments companies understand the importance of windows and lighting to productivity. This is why companies like Commercial Draperies Unlimited, a commercial shades company, spends their time assisting companies in updating or installing new window treatments. They want your employees to appreciate the space they work in and to want to come to work.

Big 12: 2012 Big 12 schedule analysis
See more Big 12 schedule analysis here.
Nonconference (with 2011 records):
- Sept. 2: SMU (8-5)
- Sept. 15: Sam Houston State (14-1)
- Sept. 21: at Louisiana-Monroe (4-8)
- Oct. 13: TCU (11-2)
- Nov. 3: Kansas (2-10)
- Nov. 17: Kansas State (10-3)
- Nov. 24: Texas Tech (5-7) at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas
- Dec. 1: Oklahoma State (12-1)
- Sept. 29: at West Virginia (10-3)
- Oct. 20: at Texas (8-5)
- Oct. 27: at Iowa State (6-7)
- Nov. 10: at Oklahoma (10-3)
Chance to impress: TCU. Baylor knocked off the Horned Frogs in a Friday-night opener last season, but the Frogs will come hungry and bearing a Big 12 patch on their jerseys this season. Baylor's good enough to reach a bowl, but if it wants to prove early on this coming season that it is very capable of more, beating TCU early in the conference season would be a good start.
Gut-check game: at Iowa State. The Cyclones will be on the bubble of bowl eligibility most of the season, and Baylor might find itself in the same spot. Last season, Texas Tech and Iowa State played a game that ended up deciding which team would make a bowl game. Don't be surprised if Iowa State and Baylor do the same on Oct. 27 this year. The Bears will need games like this badly if they're going to reach a bowl without truly sweating.
Upset watch: at West Virginia. This game is going to be an absolute zoo in Morgantown. Baylor gets to be the very first Big 12 opponent for the Mountaineers, and the whole city, fan base and team will be amped. Could that play to Baylor's advantage? West Virginia will have a lot of energy, but it will also have a lot of pressure to impress. Could that mean we see a tight or sloppy Mountaineers team? It's possible, and Baylor's good enough to take advantage. Baylor's got a shot to take some major air out of a WVU Big 12 title run early in the season.
Final analysis: Baylor has four Big 12 home games, four road games and one neutral-site game, but the first thing that stuck out to me about the schedule was the Bears have just one home game between Sept. 15 and Nov. 3. The home game against TCU breaks up a string of four road games in five weeks, including an awkward Friday night date at Louisiana-Monroe. Outside of that, it's a very balanced schedule. Baylor hosts three 10-win teams from last season, and travels to two 10-win team stadiums, plus Texas. It hosts TCU, but going to Fort Worth will be nothing new for the Bears. They played in Amon G. Carter Stadium (and got walloped) in 2010. Baylor does get its first trip to Morgantown as a Big 12 member out of the way very early, which should be fun. Even more fun if the Bears spring the upset and announce to the nation that they won't be falling back to the wayside without RG3.

Gut-check game: Texas Tech. Iowa State beat the Red Raiders by 14 in Ames in 2010. The Cyclones embarrassed them at home last season a week after Tech's win at Norman over Oklahoma. If Iowa State wants to convince people it's once again a bowl team, winning this game will be key. Both teams have a bit of upside, but Tech has been rocked by injuries the past two seasons. If it's healthy this time around, can Iowa State still prove it's destined for the postseason?
Upset watch: West Virginia. Look out, Mountaineers. You've been warned. Iowa State did it to Nebraska in 2009, and followed it up with a win over Texas in 2010. Last year, Oklahoma State proved that ISU can beat anybody in this league. WVU will be coming off an emotional home game against Oklahoma, and will be making its first trip to Ames. Welcome to the Big 12. First lesson: Beware of the Cyclones.
Snoozer: Western Illinois. ISU has a pretty good nonconference schedule, but Western Illinois was an awful FCS team in 2011, and lost 69-0 in the one game it played against Big 12 competition. It could have been worse, too. Mizzou led 42-0 at halftime. Enjoy the cakewalk, Cyclones. There won't be any in the Big 12 this year.
Chance to impress: Kansas State. Iowa State always seems to play the Wildcats close, and this year could be yet another example. Last year's game was tied at 23 with four minutes to play, the Cyclones led by three in the fourth quarter of 2010's loss and the 2009 game was decided by a blocked extra point in the final minute. Maybe ISU doesn't knock off WVU, but K-State seems like a prime candidate for the Cyclones annual massive upset.
Final analysis: Iowa State gets five teams in Ames, an increasingly difficult place to win for Big 12 teams. The Cyclones saw record crowds in 2011, and expect that to continue with the league's new blood in 2012. Four of the final five games in Ames are against 10-win teams in 2011, though. Its first two road games are against 11-win teams in 2011. Iowa State also landed a bye before conference play begins, which may come in handy, but it follows a game against an FCS opponent. The Cyclones may have been better served by a bye week later in the season, but it's a relatively balanced schedule. ISU has one of the Big 12's toughest nonconference schedules, and faces an uphill battle to bowl eligibility, but by now, we should all have learned that doubting Paul Rhoads comes with inherent risks. Namely, a high probability of being incorrect.

Gut-check game: at Kansas State. Bill Snyder has completely humiliated KU in each of the past two seasons, turning the Sunflower Showdown into a Sunflower Showcase for the Wildcats, who outscored KU 118-28 in the past two games. Kansas doesn't have to win this one, but it has to make it at least something close to competitive against a very good, very experienced in-state rival. The balance of power in Kansas has completely shifted west to Manhattan.
Chance to impress: at Baylor. No doubt about this one. Kansas should have beaten the Bears last year. Heisman winner Robert Griffin III pulled a ridiculous Houdini act to erase a 21-0 fourth-quarter deficit and force overtime, where Baylor continued its march to a 10-win season. Kansas needs at least one conference win this year, and after playing the Big 12's top five teams in its first five conference games, this may be its first real chance to spring what could be a season-changing, momentum-building upset.
Snoozer: South Dakota State. I will always rail on games between FBS and FCS teams, even though Kansas provided one of the memorable ones in 2010, when North Dakota State knocked off KU, 6-3, in Turner Gill's debut. This one should be nothing like that disaster, but don't expect the Jackrabbits to entirely lay down.
Good luck with that: Texas. Nobody embarrassed KU last year like Texas did, and the Longhorns are coming back for more in Lawrence. The Longhorns should have the league's best running game, and it'll seriously test a suspect front seven at Kansas. Many of those who'll be playing in this game have yet to even participate in a real practice at KU. Meanwhile, the Longhorns should have a very good offensive line and arguably the conference's best offensive backfield.
Final analysis: Kansas finally beat K-State at something: having the toughest schedule we've seen so far. The Jayhawks have to face four 10-win teams on the road this year, and only get four Big 12 games at home. The schedule is heavily front-loaded, which actually sets up Kansas to do some good things late and build into what should be a more productive 2013 season. The first four teams KU plays in conference play all won at least 10 games last year, but Kansas gets its best chances at a conference win in successive weeks in November when it faces Iowa State, Baylor and Texas Tech. All three teams were in trouble against the Jayhawks last season. KU fans would be ecstatic to take two of three from that group. It seems a bit far-fetched now, but we'll see what KU learns about itself during that brutal stretch to begin conference play. Then, of course, KU has to close at West Virginia, which very well may be trying to close out a title, or keep its Big 12 title hopes alive on the season's final weekend. I expect KU to win about four games, but in a league this deep, it's going to have to earn it.

Gut-check game: at Iowa State. These two teams have played classic games in each of the past three years, and Iowa State will be gunning for the Wildcats once again. It's always one of the league's most physical matchups, and that should be the case again. Iowa State has a knack for upsets when we don't expect it. Could the Cyclones start the "Kansas State was overrated in 2011" parade? They'll have a chance.
Chance to impress: at Oklahoma. The skeptics are out for the Wildcats this season. I'm tentatively one of them, but I'm not quite sure how to feel about this team. Want to shut everybody up? Walk into Norman and knock off the Big 12 favorite Sooners. Last year, they lost to OU by 41. Win this game, and there won't be a single doubter remaining for the 2012 team. Kansas State is for real.
Snoozer: Missouri State. I hate these FCS games, and the Bears only wins last year were against Western Illinois and on the road at mighty Youngstown State. Arkansas and Oregon embarrassed them with 40-point wins, and the Wildcats should do something similar.
Good luck with that: at West Virginia. Kansas State's defense has some solid athletes at the top, but the lack of athleticism and speed behind the starters, especially in the secondary, concerns me. West Virginia is going to test every bit of that, with arguably the league's best and deepest corps of receivers. We saw what happened against Oklahoma last year, and the Wildcats gave up 52 to Oklahoma State. Kansas State better bring it, and making matters tougher, they'll be making their first trip to Morgantown.
Final analysis: This is probably the toughest schedule we've seen so far. Kansas State gets just four Big 12 home games, and must travel to face three of the league's top contenders for the title in Oklahoma, West Virginia and TCU. Three of Kansas State's first four Big 12 games are on the road, too. If the Wildcats are still in the driver's seat heading into November, it's still going to be tough. Trips to TCU and Baylor are sandwiched by games against Oklahoma State and Texas, who could both surprise and contend for a Big 12 title. That's not going to be easy, even with Kansas State's odd voodoo over Texas. They may need it this year. Don't be surprised if Kansas State takes the field against Texas on Dec. 1 with a share of the Big 12 title on the line.

Gut-check game: at Oklahoma State. If TCU wants us to take it seriously as a Big 12 title contender (and I'm wavering on that idea with all the offseason distractions and defections), it needs to prove that it's better than Oklahoma State. If it can't those doubts will remain. This game will set the stage for the late-season run, and if TCU can go into Stillwater and come away with a win, especially a convincing one, it'll be time to start taking the Frogs seriously as a challenger to Oklahoma and West Virginia in the title race.
Weird return trip: at Baylor. Baylor and TCU are quite familiar with one another. This will be the third consecutive season the two teams have played, and a second consecutive trip to Waco for the Frogs. There's no RG3 this time after the Heisman winner torched TCU in a thrilling season-opening Friday nighter last year. TCU has no Andy Dalton, who embarrassed Baylor back in 2010 in Fort Worth. This should be a fun one, though.
Snoozer: Grambling State. Texas is the Big 12's only team that didn't schedule an FCS team this year. Grambling isn't a bad team, but still ... To borrow a phrase from Charles Barkley in NBATV's recent Dream Team documentary: "I don't know nothin' about Grambling State, but Grambling State is in trouble."
Chance to impress: at Texas. TCU will play the part of Texas A&M this Thanksgiving, filling the Aggies' spot in that traditional holiday showcase. Eyes will be on the Frogs as they walk into the Big 12's biggest pigskin cathedral against what should be an improving Texas team. Will the Horned Frogs walk out of Darrell K. Royal Stadium as winners, with a shot at the Big 12 title heading into the season's final weekend? It's very possible.
Final analysis: The Frogs are the unfortunate recipients of a four-game Big 12 home schedule this year, and play five away games in the nine-game Big 12 conference schedule. No home game is bigger than the last, though. TCU has a lot to prove, but it gets to host Oklahoma on Championship Saturday, which could very well have serious Big 12 title implications. If I was betting, I'd think very seriously about giving the Frogs a shot to win a share of the Big 12 title with a win over Oklahoma on the season's final weekend. Other than that, it's a pretty balanced schedule, and a solid nonconference schedule for the Frogs, at least by Big 12 standards in a weak year of scheduling outside the league. A decent FCS team, plus two eight-win teams? Not bad, Frogs.

- Nov. 17: at West Virginia (10-3)
- Dec. 1: at TCU (11-2)
Gut-check game: Kansas State. Oklahoma rolled in this one by 41 points last year, and most will figure the Sooners should do the same when they host the Wildcats at Owen Field where the Sooners have looked unbeatable so often. The early-season showdown will be the first major test for the Sooners, and K-State could be creeping in on a top 10 ranking versus the top five Sooners. Can Oklahoma prove its worth as a Big 12 title favorite?
Chance to impress: at West Virginia. I don't care if you're not Mountaineer or Sooner-inclined. Circle this date on your calendar. Period. Don't be surprised if this shapes up to be the closest thing we have to the Big 12 title game. Expect offensive fireworks and an absolutely insane crowd in Morgantown. If the Sooners win this one, they'll leave with some big time respect from just about anyone who saw or heard about it.
Snoozer: Florida A&M. Thanks to a sad, shocking scandal, the only attraction in this game won't be in attendance. Apparently A&M doesn't even have a live rattlesnake as a mascot? I feel robbed.
Rivalry redux: Oklahoma State. The Sooners lost to in-state rival Oklahoma State for the first time since 2002 last season. Making matters worse, they lost by 34 points with the Big 12 title and a BCS bid hanging in the balance. Now, the Sooners will try to restore the order in Oklahoma with a much more experienced team with higher expectations, not to mention the Big 12's most experienced passer versus its least experienced passer.
Final analysis: The biggest takeaway from Oklahoma's schedule is just how brutal its finish will be. If the Sooners are going to exit 2012 as Big 12 champs, they're going to earn it in the final month of the season. OU's schedule is a balanced 4-4-1 in terms of home-away-neutral, but there's no question its heavily backloaded, with the toughest stretch coming late in the season. Hosting Baylor won't be easy, but that precedes what could be a season-defining, maiden voyage to Morgantown. Then Oklahoma State comes to town before the Sooners make another trip to solid newcomer TCU to close the season. Buckle your seatbelts in November, Sooner fans.

- Nov. 24: at Oklahoma (10-3)
- Dec. 1: at Baylor (10-3)
Gut-check game: Texas. This will be an early-season crossroads game. Neither team will necessarily prove itself with a win, but these two are just outside the legitimate contenders for the Big 12 title. Win this game, and people will start to take you seriously. It means the same for Texas, but OSU can win a third consecutive game against the Longhorns and sent a shot across the Big 12 that even without Justin Blackmon and Brandon Weeden, it's going to be a force in 2012.
Chance to impress: at Kansas State. Ask Baylor about how easy it is to go into Bill Snyder Family Stadium and get a win. Texas A&M can probably attest to the difficulty, too. OSU snuck out of its own stadium with a win last year in a game it may have lost if there were 30 more seconds on the clock, but the Cowboys were the only team to beat K-State in one of its nine one-score games last season. The Wildcats will be motivated and probably in the top 15. A win on the road for OSU in that scenario? Legit.
Snoozer: Savannah State. These guys went 1-10 in the FCS last season, and now they're signing up to try to beat the reigning Big 12 champs on their home field. Not gonna happen. The only intrigue in this game is how Lunt looks in his first game. Even if he's awful, OSU rolls. It'll be a learning experience for the young gun.
Final analysis: We didn't mention Bedlam yet, but the Thanksgiving weekend game will be a must-see date as the war of words heated up over the offseason. Oklahoma will be a heavy favorite, but Oklahoma State may still have Big 12 title aspirations. OSU gets a five-game home schedule, but plays three 10-win teams from 2011 on the road this season. Baylor won't be a 10-win team this year, but Kansas State and Oklahoma certainly have great shots to do it. Outside of the additional home game, it's a tough final stretch for the Cowboys, who finish the season on the road with trips to OU and Baylor. They also host West Virginia and travel to Kansas State as two more of their final five games. OSU isn't built to win big this year, but it will win, and if it can find a way to win a few of those close games down the stretch, should surprise some people and flirt with nine to 10 wins.

- Nov. 3: at Texas Tech (5-7)
- Dec. 1: at Kansas State (10-3)
Gut-check game: at Oklahoma State. Neither of these squads are among the favorites to win the Big 12, but both teams have an outside shot at making it happen. Texas has lost two consecutive games to the Cowboys after not losing to OSU since 1944. Both of those were in Austin. OSU is breaking in lots of new faces. Texas is maturing. Want to prove you're back on the way to the top of the Big 12 totem pole? Better win this one, Longhorns.
Chance to impress: West Virginia. Texas will probably be narrowly favored in this game, but West Virginia is the preseason Big 12 media darlings, coming off a 70-point outburst in the Orange Bowl. The Mountaineers have the most explosive offense in the Big 12 and Texas is supposed to have the league's best defense. If Texas truly wants to turn heads, this is the game to make it happen. It'll be playing a top 10-team and an offense loaded with hype. Manny Diaz & Co.? Better shut 'em down.
Snoozer: New Mexico. Texas' schedule, to its credit, is the only one in the Big 12 without an FCS team on the docket. Hats off to Texas in that sense. That said, all the teams Texas does play aren't very good, even if they're reasonably big names. Wyoming very well may be the best team the Longhorns play in nonconference. Ole Miss and New Mexico combined for a whopping three wins last season, and New Mexico might be the worst FBS team in the country. Bob Davie took the job to try to clean it up, but it won't be easy. Texas might run for 1,000 yards in this game alone.
Final analysis: Texas' schedule sets up the Longhorns well for success. They'll face six 10-win teams in 2012, but four of them come to Austin. The Longhorns have had their problems in Lubbock, but Texas Tech will struggle to stop the run, and two-win Kansas takes up one of Texas' four road trips. The Longhorns have their balanced 4-4-1 home-away-neutral schedule thanks to the Cotton Bowl date against Oklahoma. In the new Big 12, which employs nine-game, round-robin conference schedules, the difference between the toughest and easiest schedules is minuscule. That said, Texas is definitely on the easier end of the spectrum this season. It'll need to mature as last year's freshman invasion on offense become sophomores.
Time to start analyzing each team's schedule across the Big 12. Next up, conference newcomer West Virginia.

Must-see game: Oklahoma. This is probably the biggest game of the Big 12 season, and Milan Puskar Stadium will be hosting it. Not bad for the first year in the Big 12 for the Mountaineers. Two high-octane offenses. Two legitimate Big 12 title contenders, and maybe more. Get to Morgantown for this late-season show.
Gut-check game: Baylor. The Bears will be flying under the radar and travel to West Virginia for the Mountaineers' Big 12 opener. Baylor will have the capability to beat almost anyone in the Big 12, WVU included. Win this one convincingly, and it could be the start of something special. Lose it, and hear the doubts about how well West Virginia will handle the transition.
Snoozer: James Madison. Playing in an NFL stadium will be cool, but this game will be one to forget. It's WVU's only matchup with an FCS opponent, and it could get ugly. Be careful with this one, though. James Madison knocked off 11-win Virginia Tech in 2010, which went on to go undefeated in the ACC.
Chance to impress: at Texas. Texas should be much improved, and when West Virginia comes to town Texas could very well be 4-0 with a win over Big 12 champion Oklahoma State. Want to endear yourself to your new conference mates? There's no better way than to beat the Longhorns. Call Texas' start fools' gold by way of inexperience and a soft schedule, but if West Virginia walks into Austin and wins as Big 12 newbies, it'll turn heads.
Final analysis: West Virginia plays five Big 12 games at home and four on the road, but that schedule has set up WVU to win big in 2012. Four of the five 10-win teams WVU will face in 2012 come to Morgantown, and the biggest competition for the Big 12 title (Kansas State, Oklahoma, TCU) have to face WVU on its home turf. That's a welcome sign. The Mountaineers must be careful with road trips to Texas Tech and Iowa State, who have a penchant for surprise upsets. Just ask Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. More than any team in the Big 12, WVU's schedule has it set up for a run to the title. Will it take advantage?
Nonconference (with 2011 records):
- Sept. 1: Northwestern State (5-6)
- Sept. 8: at Texas State (6-6)
- Sept. 15: New Mexico (1-11)
- Oct. 6: Oklahoma (10-3)
- Oct. 13: West Virginia (10-3)
- Nov. 3: Texas (8-5)

- Oct. 20: at TCU (11-2)
- Oct. 29: at Kansas State (10-3)
- Nov. 17: at Oklahoma State (12-1)
Gut-check game: at Iowa State. Can you even call this a trap game? Iowa State knocked off Texas Tech in each of the past two seasons, including a 41-7 laugher in Lubbock that signaled the beginning of the end in 2011. Iowa State will be mostly the same team, and if Tech can't go to Ames and get a win, the Red Raiders will be dismissed early on, and Tommy Tuberville's seat will get very, very warm.
Snoozer: Take your pick. To each his own, Texas Tech, but you should be ashamed. In a league full of cupcake schedules, the Red Raiders are the worst offenders. New Mexico is a mess. Texas State is in its first year in the WAC after being independent in 2011 and Northwestern State is an FCS team. Pitiful. No, I don't care that Tech is playing at Texas State.
Day of reckoning: at TCU. Texas Tech hasn't played a nonconference game against a major-conference opponent since 2003, but TCU in 2011 would have been a tough matchup. Last January, though, Texas Tech squirmed out of the game and played Texas State, New Mexico and Nevada instead. Expect the Horned Frogs' fans to remind Texas Tech of that game, and plenty others from the old Southwest Conference in this rivalry renewal.
Final analysis: Texas Tech has a well-placed 4-4-1 conference schedule, featuring four home games, four away games and one game at a neutral site. With a nine-game conference schedule, neutral-site games are a nice move to help balance out the schedule and not have to play five road games in conference in a given season. It's the same format Texas Tech had last year, and it's a pretty balanced schedule. It's tough to simply look at the win-loss records of each team and figure out much. Every team in the Big 12's schedule is going to look loaded based on 2011 results, because the league has three conference champions and six 10-win teams suiting up in 2012. Outside of its awful nonconference schedule, Texas Tech will be pretty balanced. Expect the Red Raiders to make a bowl game, but if the ball bounces the other way in a few games, they could easily slip to 5-7 again.

My Bhut Jolokia's leaves are now drooping down. I don't know whether or not this is a problem, but I came home today, and the leaves on my plant have turned dark green, and are drooping down. Problem or not? If so, solution? Please Help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
When was the last time you watered it? (and don't just run out and water it, overwatering causes the same reaction) |
The day before yesterday, it doesn't look like it's dying. It looks as though the leaves are too heavy for the stems. |
Was it a HOT sunny day today? Peppers tend to droop late in the afternoon on hot sunny days. If you look at it a couple hours after the sun goes down and it cools off, you might see it perk right back up...This is completely normal. The plant is letting the leaves droop so they don't get as much sun. Or better yet, check it early the next morning. If it is still drooping, you have a problem. If not, don't worry. Bruce |
They weren't this morning, and yes yesterday afternoon was a sunny day all day, and was pretty warm. |
Then, it was probably just the normal late day wilting that Peppers go through. As long as the soil isn't dry, they will perk right back up. Bruce |
Alright, I've been hardening off the.bhut since my last post its about to go into a much larger planter. What type of soil mixture should I use? |
Ha sorry meant to post this on a different thread |

Kruschen salts are made of a mixture of six salts and citric acid: • Citric Acid • Magnesium Sulfate • Potassium Chloride • Potassium Iodate • Potassium Sulfate • Sodium Chloride (table salt) • Sodium Sulfate
Kruschen salts have been used for hundreds of years as a cleansing and alkalising tonic. They can be particularly beneficial for cleansing your digestive system, and helping to keep your bowel motions regular. Kruschen salts can also help to relieve cramping, muscle tension and joint pain ,which is great news for those with joint and muscle soreness. Iodine is essential to ensure that your thyroid gland works normally. This gland is important for growth, brain development, and for helping to maintain your metabolism. Despite the importance of Iodine, many New Zealanders currently have low Iodine intakes1. Each 3g serve of Healtheries Kruschen salts provide 24mcg of Iodine, which will help you to meet your daily Iodine needs. Major benefits of Kruschen Salts include: • Aiding digestion • Keeping bowels regular • Reducing muscle and joint pain • Providing a source of Iodine in your diet • Acting as a cleansing and detoxifying tonic Learn more about Healtheries Kruschen Salts, and how to use them as part of healthy balanced diet.

"ObamaCare is now the Law of the Land" – John Boehner, U.S. Speaker of the House
REVEALED: How To Survive ObamaCare – The Top Strategies And Actions You Need To Know That Could Save Your Life!
The White House
Sit down, shut the door, take the phone off the hook…
Read this entire letter to discover simple steps to protect you and your family from ObamaCare, and retake control of your health care from the government.
My Fellow Americans:
My name is Mark Williams.
I've spent my entire career in health care, and thanks to to my personal experiences and extensive research, I am an expert on how ObamaCare will effect the future of the American health care system, and what this means for you and your family.
You and I both know that ObamaCare is a bad deal for America.
You and I both know that socialized health care in other countries, like what ObamaCare will be here, always hurts patients.
In countries such as Great Britain, Canada, Greece, where socialized medicine has been into effect for decades, patients die every day because they can't get access to medical treatments (why do you think so many Canadians have traveled to the U.S. for health care all of these years?).
Under ObamaCare, you may not even be able to get in to see a doctor if you're sick, injured or dying.
Do you want to know the reason why?
According to President Obama's own statistics, ObamaCare will add over 44 million new patients to the American health care system.
At the same time, the number of doctors practicing medicine is decreasing every year!
And, there are no new hospitals being built to handle the overflow of new patients!
That's right. So you and your family will be forced to wait for treatment regardless of how serious your condition is.
Sorry Folks, Delayed Treatment Is Just the Beginning!
In June 2012, a prominent British doctor shocked the world with his whistle-blowing claim, revealing that the British National Health Service kills 130,000 seniors every year!
These innocent seniors were unprepared and uneducated to the strategies that could've saved their lives.
Further findings have revealed that patients of all ages are being euthanized in Britain, including pre-mature babies.
Death Panels Are Coming to America! Even a Former Advisor to President Obama Wrote in the New York Times – "We Need Death Panels!"
Don't believe me, just ask the families who have had loved ones have been euthanized, because they were determined to be too much of a financial burden on the system.
This is already starting to happen right here in America. The state-controlled media doesn't talk about it. The government propaganda lies to us about how great ObamaCare is.
But you and I know better.
So what happens when it is YOU who faces the ObamaCare nightmare?
What happens when it is a FAMILY MEMBER or a LOVED ONE who faces the ObamaCare nightmare?
Let's face it, if you are not prepared for ObamaCare – you are in big trouble, and so is your family.
The time to act is now. Do not delay another day.
You and your family's future is at stake. Their well-being is in your hands at this very moment.
My Fellow Americans, America has changed.
ObamaCare will tear down one of the greatest health care systems the world has ever seen.
Government bureaucrats will be in charge of your health care. Your doctor will no longer have decision making power when it comes to treating you for your personal health care needs.
We are already seeing the government ration health care to women.
ObamaCare will not provide mammograms to women between 40-49, and women above 50 "only need mammograms every 2 years now."
The government is trying to tell us that mammograms are unnecessary, because "only 1 out of 500 women in their 40's actually has breast cancer."
What happens to the 1 woman who does have breast cancer and it goes undetected because she can't get a mammogram?
That's somebody's wife. That's somebody's daughter. That's somebody's mom.
To our government, they are just a minority statistic who doesn't matter.
Take Charge of YOUR Future Before It's Too Late!
Obviously, the government is not going to have your best interest in mind when deciding what (if any) health care treatments you should receive.
So let me ask you. Are you ready for ObamaCare?
Simply put, ObamaCare is going to bring drastic and negative effects on the American health care system, and people's lives hang in the balance.
There's plenty you can do. I'm here to show you exactly what you can do for yourself and your family. In my expert survive ObamaCare eBook, "How to Survive ObamaCare," I provide real strategies that help you survive ObamaCare, and take charge of your health care decisions.
In this one of a kind eBook, I explain in complete practical how-to detail what you need to know about ObamaCare, and how to survive ObamaCare.
It is guaranteed to make a REAL difference in preparing you to survive ObamaCare.

Grows to about 4 ft across, large ornamental leaves.
It's just sprouting here so it's a good time to transplant. I have most shade here. I'm looking for hosta and pulmonaria that I don't have. Unusual woodland plants. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have an unusual woodland plant that I haven't been able to identify. It's a biennial, has very toothy, variegated leaves, and delicate, sky-blue flowers. Interested? Any idea what it is? |
- Posted by woodthrush z4PA (My Page) on Sun, Mar 29, 09 at 7:43
Have a picture? What type of flower, daisy-like, tubular? How tall does it grow? Pam |
Woosthrush,would like to trade,have pond plants alltypes of grases that i just divided hydranges,colocasis not up yet please e mail me Hoitider@earthlink,net thanks |
- Posted by woodthrush z4PA (My Page) on Sun, Mar 29, 09 at 8:31
Let me know the varieties of colocasis you have, you have nothing on your trade page. As I emailed you yesterday, I don't have the sun for grasses or yuccas. Pam |
The flowers are sort of cup-shaped. Reminds me a little of a phacelia. Let me do a little research. (*grin*) The leaves are actually more interesting that the flowers---they're three-lobed, but then each lobe is irregularily toothed, and not so much variegated as, well, spotted. There's a lighter spot where each tooth reaches the body of the leaf. It gets about 12" tall, sometimes a little taller if it's in deep shade. |
Okay, it's Phacelia bipinnatifida, but mine has richer colors than the one in the pic---more contrast. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Phacelia_bipinnatifida.jpg
Would love to have some of your petasite japonicus variegata. You have so many plants, I don't know what I could offer that you don't have. I have mayapples, Ostrich fern, wood poppy, a native fern that is very aggressive, Arum Italicum Marmoratum Variegata, Clematis Sweet Autumn, Heuchera Green Spice, houttuynia cordata (chameleon plant), "Kiss Me Kate" L.A. Hybrid Lily. Anything interest you? |
- Posted by susyflores 5 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 29, 09 at 17:08
HI I AM INTERESTED IN petasite japonicus variegata BUT YOU COULD SEE MY LIST, I AM AFRAID THERE IS NOTHING THAT MIGHT INTEREST YOU., BUT ANYWAY I GIVE IT A TRY SINCE I GOOGLED IMAGE THIS PLANT AND IS BEAUTIFUL IT HAS A TROPICAL PLANT LOOK. |
I am interested in some. Check my list. Thanks Chris |
- Posted by woodthrush z4PA (My Page) on Tue, Mar 31, 09 at 7:25
Thanks. Let me catch up here and I'll see if there are more left. If your email is blocked, I can't answer you. Pam |
Pam, I am interested if you have any more. Please check my page. plantbug |
