Gov. Charlie Crist, running as an independent, holds a narrow lead in the three-way Florida Senate race, according to the latest Quinnipiac poll. The race is still very close and Crist's fate might rest on who wins the Democratic primary August 24: Kendrick Meek or Jeff Greene.
Quinnipiac (6/1-7)
Kendrick Meek (D) – 17%
Marco Rubio (R) – 33%
Charlie Crist (I) – 37%
Jeff Greene (D) – 14%
Marco Rubio (R) – 33%
Charlie Crist (I) – 40%
If Greene manages to win the primary, some of the Democratic vote shifts to Crist, according to the poll. That small shift could be decisive.
Looking at the cross tabs, Crist's support is built on a strong base of independents, significant percentages of Democrats and, to a lesser degree, Republicans.
In a three-way race with Meek, Crist gets 28 percent of Republicans, 37 percent of Democrats and 51 percent of independents. Against Rubio and Greene, Crist gets 28 percent of Republicans, 46 percent of Democrats and 51 percent of independents. By contrast, Rubio gets just 7 percent of Democrats and 26 percent of independents in the Meek matchup and 6 percent of Democrats and 25 percent of independents with Greene in the race.
As the race starts to focus more on issues (like what party Crist would caucus with), Crist's challenge is going to be juggling to keep his bloc of Republican supporters while not alienating his Democratic voters, and vice versa.
I still think Crist's best and possibly only path to victory is to depict the Democrat in the race as the spoiler. He needs to make the case to the Democratic-leaning electorate that he is the only one who can beat Rubio and that a vote for the Democrat is a wasted vote, helping Rubio win. For that strategy to work, Crist needs to cement his place in the electorate's mind as the front-runner. If Crist's poll numbers start slipping, I suspect they will quickly snowball downhill.
If Meek is able to rally all the Democrats to his side with a base-heavy strategy, he could possibly win if Crist and Rubio split the right/center share of the vote. There's no path for Crist without netting a significant number of the Dem-leaning voters. The outcome of the Democratic primary will be crucial to Crist.

Hi - I am the webmaster, owner and originator of CENTRAL OREGON HORSE. I created my website and business in 1999 to help people in the central Oregon area sell their horses. As my services became better known and more in demand, I expanded my listing area throughout Oregon and into Washington and Idaho. I have lived in the Bend area since 1983 and found it difficult to sell my own horses locally for a decent price. It seemed strange that people would travel down to California, over to Idaho or up to Washington to buy exactly the same quality horse which I was trying to sell out of our own, private little farm - AND the people would spend twice as much money on their new horse than the price which I was asking for MY horse. So, after discovering the success of advertising and selling my own horses by using the Internet, using several photos of each and being sure to be very candid and honest about all their strengths and weaknesses, my friends started asking me to help THEM sell THEIR horses. Since beginning my services I have helped sell many hundreds of horses and it has brought me so much joy to help put a horse together with the RIGHT new owner, and I have met so many wonderful people, I plan to continue my little business for many years to come. For more information about how my services work and how to list your horse, please click on the button above "Listing YOUR Horse".
I have owned and ridden horses since I was a child; therefore my knowledge of horses as well as my many years as a professional in contracting, computer work and sales has provided me with a sound background to help you market YOUR horse.
Thank you for visiting my site. Below are a few pictures of me and several of the horses I have owned over the last 50+ years... You may contact me through firstname.lastname@example.com and I will try to get back in touch with you quickly.
Well, take care and maybe we will run into one another some day at a horse show, clinic or on the trails. Please be sure to say hello if you recognize me. Bye for now, Carol.

Professor Kathleen Fitzpatrick Featured in "New York Times" Article on Alternatives to Peer Review
The work of Professor of Media Studies Kathleen Fitzpatrick is featured in the New York Times article, "Scholars Test Web Alternative to Peer Review." Fitzpatrick is a co-founder of MediaCommons, a community-driven network that aims to broaden the circulation of scholarly discourse, leading to new processes and forms of digital scholarship. The site recently assisted Shakespeare Quarterly in an experiment that mixed peer review with the openness of the web. The journal posted four essays not yet selected for publication with comments from a core group of experts and other MediaCommons members could add their thoughts as well.

With more and more applications moving to a web model, organizations need a web platform they can rely on, that can scale as needed, and is easy to manage. The web platform delivered by Windows Server 2012 is suitable for companies of all sizes – for hosters, as well as enterprises – and can run applications for internal or external usage. Internet Information Services 8 (IIS 8) has improved in several areas in order to meet the needs for high density websites, high performance applications and configuration consistency while embracing web standards. Windows Sever 2012 delivers improvements in:
- IIS Scale. Windows Server 2012 provides many improvements in configuration optimization and application initialization that help make applications available quicker.- Quality of Service. Windows Server 2012 delivers the best Quality of Service (QoS) for web applications such as CPU Throttling, Dynamic IP restrictions and FTP logon attempts.- Certificate Management and Deployment. The new Centralized Certificate Store makes it easy to add a new server in a farm and have different sites running https automatically recover their certificates.- Shared Configuration. Improvements and tools that help ensure consistent configuration across web farms.
After completing this course — through a series of videos and whitepapers — you will have a detailed understanding of how Windows Server 2012 enables you to provide high performance web applications and consistent web configurations while embracing web standards.
Exploring Certification? Free Windows Server 2012 Certification Prep Tools
This module covers improvements in Windows Server 2012 which respond to the need for scalability of web applications. We will cover how IIS 8 can scale up with the support of NUMA (Non Uniform Memory Access) architecture. We will also cover improvements in configuration optimization and application initialization that helps reduce the amount of time needed between the start of an IIS server and the availability of the applications it serves.
When running or hosting a web application, Quality of Service (QoS) is most likely a critical concern. This module covers the improvements made in Windows Server 2012 to deliver the best Quality of Service for web applications such as CPU Throttling, Dynamic IP restrictions and FTP logon attempts.
In this module, we will explore the certificate management improvements in IIS 8. We will cover how the new Centralized Certificate Store makes it easy to add a new server in a farm and have different sites running https automatically recover their certificates. We will also see how SNI (Server Name Indication), usually called hostnames for SSL, combined with the Centralized Certificate Store, makes it easier for hosters to provide secure websites to their customers.
When you have to host or manage several web applications, it is important to have the tools that enable consistency and repeatability. Windows Server 2012 introduces an IIS 8 feature called Shared Configuration that helps ensure consistent configuration across web farms. In addition, Microsoft has also introduced the Configuration Editor, which provides a visual method to edit web configurations and create repeatable actions.

James Franco, A Cat Head, And R.E.M.
It's all in Franco's video for the song "That Someone Is You." Oh, and there's lots of dancing too.
James Franco had promised to make two videos for songs from R.E.M.'s final album Collapse Into Now over a year ago. The first of his two videos, "Blue," finally popped up a couple weeks ago, and the second, for "That Someone Is You" has now surfaced. It's definitely the better of the two, if just for the weird superimposed cat head and all the dancing.

Although the A Thin Crash top does indeed provide for killer fans, and a not-bad cut, it doesn't hold a candle to the Mastersounds. In fact, nothing I've ever heard in my entire life does! By the way, can someone please tell me when the equipment aquisition in this profession ever ends? :-)

Try drawing a piece of crumpled paper so well that it would make people want to try and straighten it. While my attempts go as far as making me want to crumble the very paper I drew on, American illustrator Mark Crilley takes only a couple of minutes to replicate things so realistically one can hardly believe it's not a photograph.

"In the past few years he has worked with humility and in silence and he deserved a recognition."

Three Lowcountry Preparatory School students were recognized for their accomplishments during the awards ceremony at the 2014 South Carolina Independent School Association (SCISA) State Science Fair held in Sumter recently.
Blake Errico placed first in the junior division, physical science category for his project entitled, You Nailed It!
Chetna Patel placed second in the junior division, general science category with her project, Salt Water Shock.
Venus DeMello placed third in the elementary division, environmental science category with her project, Aquaponics vs. Soil Garden.
Ayan Dasgupta and Isabelle Mikell, both of Hammond School in Columbia, tied for the overall
first place award for the senior division. Sophia Burnett of All Saints Episcopal School in Florence won the overall award for the junior division. Connor Martin of St. Anne Catholic School in Sumter won the overall award for the elementary division.
The state science fair is SCISAs largest academic competition and the caliber of projects increases each year. This year 173 regional winners from 22 schools submitted more than 130 projects, said Larry Watt, SCISA executive director.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'mend' tag.
One of my pet peeves is throwing on a pair of super soft, worn-in, cotton leggings only to find a tiny hole near my knee. The culprit: over-exuberant Boston Terrorizers who love to do nothing more than bounce all over my thighs when I come home from work each day.
But never fear "not-pants" attire! There's help yet!
I found this adorable tutorial on Karen Barbe's blog. This uber talented textile designer put together an easy how-to for patching up holes and tears in style. Using little more than a cereal box (and you know how much I love to use those!), a needle and colored thread, she shows us how to create folk inspired patches with which to stitch up our most beloved garments.
So next time you find a critter has torn a hole in your favorite pair of leggings – don't toss 'em – bust out some serious stitching and you'll be glad about your now happy accident.
I don't know what it is – my perpetually dry skin, humidity-free heat, or just the dullness of winter – but my elbows have become sand paper tough and the results are showing on my sweaters. I am rubbing holes into sleeves every which way I turn!
Rather than scrap my favorite cardigans, I've begun to bust out the old fashioned elbow patch, but with a modern twist. Using vintage lace fabric scraps, some embroidery thread, and elbow grease (no put intended here!), I stitched my way to some swanky tear-proof sleeves that are now turning heads.
In just 15 minutes you too can add a bit of whimsy to otherwise unsightly holes. Follow the pictorial directions below for a fabulous way to mend your most beloved knitwear and sweaters to get them through the season. Read the rest of this entry »

As of Saturday, March 2, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
This week I was going to write about the sequestration battle, but I decided instead to address something much less disgusting: flatulence.
Obviously, this is not something most people want to talk about. And yet it's something all of us do, whether we admit it or not. And we rarely admit it. We blame it on the guy next to us. Or the dog. Or that careless individual who keeps running over a skunk in front of our house.
When I say "all of us" do it, of course I mean all of us guys. Women do not pass gas. If you doubt me, just ask a woman. She will assure you that she does not pass gas, thank you very much, and if she ever does, on extremely rare occasions, it smells like roses.
Clearly, passing gas is a guy problem, one that we as guys must learn to cope with. I'd like to propose a few rules that will allow any guy to confront what could be an awkward situation and come out smelling like ... well, never mind.
First, do not pass gas in the presence of a woman you are serious about until you are reasonably certain she won't leave you. This could take anywhere from three months to 35 years. In the meantime, you'll just have to hold it, for several hours if necessary.
Of course, you can always excuse yourself and go to the restroom, but depending on how long you've been holding your gas, that might not be good enough. After a few hours, you will probably need to go to the next state.
Needless to say, you do not need to hold in your gas when you're with your guy friends. That's one of the main advantages to being with your guy friends. In fact, as your relationship with the girl of your dreams progresses, freedom to pass gas at will might be the only advantage to being with your guy friends. But it is an advantage that is not to be underestimated, especially after eating Mexican food.
But what if you're not with friends but with complete strangers? That certainly makes the whole business of passing gas more complicated.
If you're in a professional situation, such as a business meeting, you should certainly hold it in until you can get to the men's room, or at least until the CEO stops speaking. You don't want there to be any confusion.
In a more social situation--such as at the movies--you can probably get away with letting one slip, especially during loud music. If people start to glare at you suspiciously, just raise your eyebrows and glare right back. No one will be able to pinpoint the offending party with any certainty.
One thing they'll know for certain, though, is that it must have either been you or some other guy. Because it couldn't possibly have been a woman.

Nicky USA, the Northwest's leading meat purveyor, is proudly selling 100 percent Wagyu beef from Magnolia Cattle Company across the Pacific Northwest, now coming into season at the end of April. Wagyu, literally translating to Japanese steer, is the best available beef bred from Japanese genetics. Known for its intense marbling and high percentage of unsaturated fat, this 100 percent Wagyu can be found on select restaurant menus around the region. Raised locally in Washington, these Japanese prized cattle have roots tracing back to the same animals that made Kobe, Mishima, Omi and Sandar which are all synonymous with top quality.
The steers are raised by Magnolia Cattle Company, a small farm in Bothell, Wash., where owner George Neffner, III emulates traditional and successful growing techniques used by Japanese ranchers. More importantly however, the cattle have pure Japanese genetics, which have been certified for five generations. The cattle are not crossed with American breeds, guaranteeing the final product is 100 percent Japanese Wagyu.
Top Northwest chefs agree on the quality and flavor:
"We serve a lot of different cuts and types of meat here at Ox Restaurant, to a very informed clientele. When we served the Magnolia Wagyu beef short ribs, our guests said that it was not only some of the best beef that they had ever had, but that it was one of the best dishes they had ever eaten," said Gregory Denton, Chef/Owner, Ox Restaurant, Portland.
"The ethereal quality of chocolate is that it melts at body temperature in your mouth. 100 percent Wagyu fat melts at body temperature too. Imagine a robust beef flavor melting in your mouth – Magnolia beef," said Matt Christianson, Executive Chef, Urban Farmer, Portland.
"George's Magnolia cattle produce the best domestic beef that I have ever served. The depth of flavor and tenderness are consistently unsurpassed," said Nathan Lockwood, Executive Chef, Altura, Seattle.
Nicky USA has recently purchased two steers that master butcher Jace Hentges will cut to order for anxious chefs who have pre-ordered their desired cuts. You will soon see this product on menus such as Altura and Restaurant Zoe in Seattle and Imperial, Paley's Place, Urban Farmer, Clyde Common and Serratto in Portland along with a handful of other restaurants across the Northwest.
Nicky USA plans to continue this relationship with Magnolia Cattle Company to make this high quality meat more regularly available to wholesale and retail customers alike. Watch Nicky USA's website and Facebook page to find out where you can taste this rare delicacy.

The Gov. has been a Socialist for years, just look at his record on Land Use issues ! The voters don't matter to him, as he thinks he knows best. But just look at all the STUPID people who voted him another term. There is NO hope from this dope.
Well, this is what happens when you elect a SOCIALIST. This is what happens when you have a newspaper devoted to Liberal causes.
AMEN ! Watch for more news on the investigation of what REALLY happened, and possible future law suits against the ex city manager and ex city attorney, and others.
I totally agree with JRB1964. After some time ago before the RECALL, I read a letter in the ARGUS, written by Steve Heinrich, a Cornelius City Councilor, who also supported the recall and who wrote about TEAM 3 in a very negitave , very unprofessional way for a LEADER in Cornelius. Oh, maybe I am wrong as this seems to be the way Cornelius has run for quite some time. Steve Heinrich should apoligize, but he will not do so because he and the Cornelius Mafia run this city like Obama runs the Federal Goverment. Steve should be ashamed of himself, what a loser. Hope he can stay awake during the meetings in the future, and not lead by the losers who voted for Obama, and his socialist agenda. I would like to see someone PAY to print that letter that was in the Argus so we can all see the quality of the left over City Goverment !!!! (POS)
What a GREAT slam against TEAM 3, the City employes have done a GREAT JOB ON THIS CAMPAIN to recall. I only hope it cannot be proven that this campain was not using city time and recourses, but if so there are others to fill their positions with the city, should this Great 3 sign ( the ones on Baseline)campain go down in flames. This reminds me of the actions against a Elected State govenor back East by the state employees against spending cuts... bunch of DUMB LIBERALS.....XZS#*N)^!&>
Lubischer & Barnes, what a left wing Liberal pair of "STOP ALL GROWTH" in Washington County. People like them and the "W.C. Can" another NO Growth group of OBAMA supporters, are contributing to raising ALL costs to ALL Oregonians by their constant MORE regulations approach. I can only believe that the "Washington County Farm Bureau" who supports the direction these people and groups take are also supporters of the Obama agenda..... O woe is we.
Yes, required birth control for Liberals, as this is the only way we Conservatives can counter the Liberal Media stranglehold on America..
Thank you "albinoangus, well said.
The citys reputation was tarnished by the last group of elected incompetents. High crime rates ? Well look at the makeup of the town, and I am sure it has been that way for a long time. I am sure that "Team 3's" future is ROSY, inspite of you IGNORAMOUS'.
What a bunch of election sore losers, who along with the fired city attorney gave the fired city manager such a large termination gift of $125,000 put into the managers contract? I know who, the previous city council of whom there is only 2 councilers left. It may be time to oust these 2 remaining losers so the city can get back to the business at hand. It is also time for these election losers to quit hanging around city hall and sturring the pot against the elected winners. I vote for keeping "TEAM 3", and voting OUT the 2 losers left on the council.
Save our state, thin the Environmentalists.
I love the Mexican people and am closely tied to Mexico, BUT, I support Arizona.
SICK the whole bunch of "FUDGE PACKERS"
5 kids ? Living with a girl friend ? How many times has he been married ? Sounds like your average Democrat Portland politician. He SHOULD be treated the same as Chris Dudley, but he won't, as he is a Liberal Portland Democrat with NO morals.
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, Mike's reference to Land use, "we were making it up as we went along", so this is a great testament to how this State operates, give a Democrat an inch of power, and they will fly by the seat of their pants until were are all Socialists. Thank you Mike, enjoy your PERS retirement, or whatever taxpayer funded plans you have.
This whole situation goes back to the real problem, the poor choices some make in choosing their mates with the evental break down of the whole family, and the consequinces of mistaking LUST as LOVE.
Stop this sickness of FUDGE packing........ SICK ! ---- get them mental help.
But, as the education industry says, "IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN"
Saving the owl is as stupid as a 55 MPH speed limit not being raised to 70+

Southeast Florida roundup
Tradition in St. Lucie County is poised for big growth
Tradition in south Florida is due for a growth spurt, the manager of the developments says. It's reasoning: A scarcity of large tracts of raw, developable land in the three southeast Florida counties; it's close to the bulk of Florida's population; it has I-95 access, approvals are in place for 12 million square feet of development; backbone infrastructure is complete; it's in historically high growth Port St. Lucie and St. Lucie County; and there's just one owner.
Also mentioned in this regional roundup, key players and businesses in the news including William Woodson, Hoffman's Chocolate, Valley National Bancorp, 1st United Bancorp, Office Depot, Florida Organic Aquaculture, JetBlue, Harbor Community Bank, Popular Community Bank, Highlands Independent Bank, Fresh Shrimp, Lufthansa Technik, Biotest Pharmaceuticals, and Ocean Master Marine.

Patrick Marleau finished with a goal and an assist, while Jamie McGinn and Logan Couture scored for the Sharks, who had their three-game winning streak snapped. Antti Niemi made 19 saves and Ryan Clowe added three assists in defeat.

Step 6: Use your mold!
soooo...i made a mold just now, it's currently curing, and the silicone was NOT fun to get off my hands! Just a warning for those who have never used it. Any tips on how to get off the silicone?
Not sure of any easy ways of removing it, maybe try acetone.. Gloves might be a good investment :P
soapy water is to silicone as flour is to pizza dough.
Where did you buy your l.e.d.s and your resin? How long did the l.e.ds last?
Sounds like they really designed it to prevent mold! (get it? because molds)
Done this today. I'm still waiting for it to set. How long will it set? I did full object (chicken) mold. I'm planning to use clay afterwards for my chickens. Hope it will go all well.
*fingers crossed
Clay will not work for this application. If you want to slip-cast, you will need to make your negative out of plaster. Plaster is porous, which sequesters the clay's water. If you still have your positive, make a plaster mold from that. If you only have the silicone negative, cast a plaster positive and then cast a plaster negative from that.
Great post! I have used this mould making technique many times so I thought I would contribute a few tips of my own. Acetic cure silicone will cure much faster that neutral cure. for speedy results use acetic cure. I would recommend a coating of soap on the hands before plunging them into the water/soap mix as the silicone can still be a bit sticky even in the soapy water. Also too much soap in the water can cause the silicone to become lumpy and not consistent. This water curing technique can also be used for direct modelling of silicone sculptures.(see photo) I usually make the sculpture in small parts and then join them together at the end. Silicone can easily be coloured for this by adding oil paint. For those commenters wanting a two part mold using this technique, build a clay barrier to seperate the halves, same as all two part mould making, and a good wax based release between the silicone halves so they don't stick together. Cheers, great instructable.
This is amazing! I can't wait to try it out. I have some questions, maybe someone knows the answers?
How did you make it a complete figure? Cast the other half and then glue? Can you cover it in two halves of silicone? What's a good way to do this?
Can you cast any material, like plaster, fine sement or molten plastic in this?
Is it a good idea to use a bit of Vaseline on the casting object to make it easier to detach or is this simple anyway with silicone?
I will be testing this out tomorrow with this product on a candy mold. It lists on the package that it can come in contact with food. http://t.homedepot.com/p/DAP-2-8-oz-Silicone-Aquarium-Sealant-00688/100128841/
Hi :) I love this instructable. I was wondering if you might know if this method of mold making would be safe to use with cooking. I would like to make some fondant molds but not sure if it is safe to put food stuff on this silicone. Thanks for sharing this project :)
DEFINITELY NOT! I think there is food safe silicone, if you need it.
Is there a limit on the thickness of the mold walls? I know that most tubes of silicone say to not exceed 1/8" thickness. Will this technique permit thicker walls?
Do you think the mold could go in the oven, like silicone baking products? I was thinking this would be awesome for making custom crayon molds.... but I don't want to kill myself with off-gassing or chemicals.... Thank you, this looks like such an awesome idea!
It is water that accelerates the curing. water in corn starch or grout. (which is why in recipes for both these agents, you start with a certain amount of water too add and then add accordingly until mixture is right, depending mainly on air humidity and how much is already absorbed)
The soap releases, which is why it works way better than spit for going around a tub(spit works too, but silicone unavoidably sticks to your fingers and makes a mess eventually)
I can't wait to try this out. So cool. A liitle dish of water and dishsoap is great to smooth the joints when caulking around a shower or tub too.
Silicone is awesome stuff.
you can also do this with pure silicone caulking and a teaspoon of corn starch, (it too will quickly catalyze the silicone.
you can then soap cover your object and your hands and make a mold you only have about 5-10 minutes to work the stuff before it becomes too thick and rubbery.
I looks like it makes a pretty crude cast, although it does have the sparkle going for it.

The big Black Friday shopping weekend has come to a close, but don't let the clock fool you, the shopping is far from done.
Cyber Monday logs in at midnight and the National Retail Federation is expecting the national online shopping day to set records. 129.2 million shoppers say they will shop online Monday, up from 122.8 million last year. 85 percent of retailers will have a special Cyber Monday promotion.
In store and online, shoppers have been warming up all week.
"Stuff that may have cost close to 40 bucks, she paid 17 bucks, we got a really good deal," said Cynthia Rice while shopping with her daughter at Rosedale Center Sunday.
A record 247 million shoppers spent more than $59 billion dollars this Black Friday weekend, almost $7 billion more than last year.
However, sales were down 1.8 percent on Black Friday compared to last year, likely because many shoppers chose to spend on Thanksgiving.
Jim Randall is the Chief Operating Officer of FilterQuik, a company that makes coffee filter dispensers and sells them at Rosedale Center. He started holiday season sales at 5 a.m. on Black Friday but sees the value in opening earlier.
"The more people you can get to see your product... The holiday season, it's what three months? Four months at the max? I think you want to take advantage of every minute that you can," Randall said.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3, 2004 Despite escalated violence in Iraq that is likely to continue through the elections in January, the coalition remains committed to doing whatever it takes to ensure that terrorists don't find a safe haven in Iraq, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Oct. 2 on Fox News Channel.
"A free and democratic Iraq is exactly what the terrorists and extremists don't want," Rumsfeld said during an interview on "The Big Story Weekend with Rita Cosby" show. "It will harm their goals for that part of the world in a very serious way. So they are going to do everything they can to try to prevent it."
But Rumsfeld expressed little doubt about the outcome of the conflict, noting the coalition has put "a big dent" in the resistance. "We are going to win," he said. "The extremists are going to lose."
The defense secretary said there's no easy timetable to gauge when U.S. and coalition troops will leave Iraq.
"It depends totally on the security situation in the country," he said. "The situation on the ground is going to determine the pace in which the Iraqi security forces are deployed and the rate at which U.S. and coalition forces either increase or decrease" their presence.
Although the number of U.S. troops in Iraq is down -- 137,000 now, compared to a high of about 150,000 -- Rumsfeld said it's not unforeseeable that U.S. force strength might not actually increase in anticipation of Iraq's elections. But the defense secretary said he has received no request for more troops from Army Gen. John Abizaid, commander of U.S. Central Command.
Rumsfeld said it's unlikely that Iraq will be "perfectly peaceful" when the coalition leaves. "I think it will be a situation where the Iraqis have developed the ability to mange their situation from a security standpoint and we will have a mutual agreement that it makes sense" to leave at the time, he said.
The bottom line, he said, is that the coalition will leave when the time is right -- staying no longer than necessary, but as long as necessary. "We want to go in and be helpful and leave," he said. "That's basically the American way."
In the meantime, Rumsfeld said, the coalition remains committed to helping Iraq establish a security environment where its new democratic government can take root. "Success in Iraq is enormously important to the rest of the world," he said, noting the "wonderful influence" a democratic Iraq will present to the region.
The biggest threat facing Iraq right now, he said, comes from terrorists doing everything in their power to hold on to power and prevent that from happening. "The risk is that the terrorists and the extremists and the people who are running around chopping off people's heads and killing innocent men, women and children (want to) take over that country," he said.
"Imagine a country ruled by people who go around chopping off heads. That's a dark future," Rumsfeld said. "The Taliban rule (in Afghanistan) is a perfect recent example of what Iraq would look like."

Falmouth girls blank Greely
CUMBERLAND—The Falmouth and Greely girls' soccer teams produced yet another taut and memorable chapter in their long rivalry Tuesday night.
When all was said and done, once again, there was little separation.
After a scoreless first half, the Yachtsmen got the game's lone goal when senior Cassie Darrow struck with 33 minutes to go. Greely had several opportunities to tie the score and even hit the post with 20 minutes left, but never could draw even and Falmouth improved to 4-0 with the 1-0 victory, dropping the Rangers to 1-1.
"The team had a lot of belief in each other," said Darrow. "We trusted each other, I think that was the most important part. When it got hard, we looked at each other and dug deep. I don't think you ever get used to winning hard games. There are always obstacles you have to overcome. We came out with the mentality that they wanted it just as much as we did. It's always a good match between us."
Tough act to follow
Falmouth, the two-time defending Class B champion, opened with a 2-1 victory at Cape Elizabeth before handling host NYA (5-0) and visiting Poland (2-0).
Greely had played just once, a 3-1 home win over Freeport last Tuesday.
Prior to this meeting, dating to 2011, Falmouth had a 12-7 edge over Greely, with three ties (please see sidebar), but the Rangers had won three in a row, including 5-1 and 2-1 decisions a year ago.
Tuesday, the teams took the pitch just minutes after the Falmouth boys had rallied for an epic 3-2 overtime win over Greely, after tying the contest with just 3.4 seconds to go in regulation.
While the girls' game didn't quite have the same amount of drama, it was compelling nonetheless.
The Rangers had some good early chances, but after junior Leah Young was denied by Yachtsmen senior goalkeeper Caroline Lucas, senior Julia Mitiguy and junior Allie Morrill both shot wide.
At the 10 minute mark, Greely senior goalkeeper Caton Beaulieu had to race out to break up a rush by Falmouth freshman Tyler Spence.
Despite the opportunities, the game was deadlocked at halftime, but it didn't stay that way for long.
With 33:14 to go in regulation, the Yachtsmen got an opportunity and they took advantage.
The play started when junior Mary Catherine Kowalsky turned on the jets to beat Beaulieu (six saves) to the ball. The deflection came to senior Caitlin Bucksbaum and eventually wound up on the foot of Darrow, who pushed a shot past Beaulieu and despite the efforts of a pair of Greely defenders, the ball wound its way into the goal for a 1-0 Falmouth lead.
"Mary Catherine had some awesome hustle," Darrow said. "She managed to push through and get the ball. It leaked through to Caitlin, who squeaked it through to me. I just managed to get it in, I guess. I thought the defender would stop it, but I was lucky. It felt good."
"It wasn't necessarily a pretty goal, but it was a nice loose ball scrum," said Falmouth coach Wally LeBlanc. "I thought Greely's keeper played a high line. She won every ball. For us to win a scrum ball in front of her, give credit to our forwards. Cassie is a team player. She likes to succeed for the team. She doesn't mind having those expectations placed on her and trying to realize them. Tonight it came through for her."
The Yachtsmen didn't manage much more in the way of offensive pressure and soon hunkered down defensively to hold on for dear life.
With 26:09 to go, Mitiguy set up sophomore Kristina Volta for a good look, but Lucas made the save. Six minutes later, Rangers freshman Izzy Hutnak got some breathing room, drew Lucas out of the goal, then lofted a shot for the far post. Problem was, it was such a good shot that it hit the post and bounced out allowing Falmouth to keep the lead.
In the 64th minute, Volta shot just high. Five minutes later, freshman Jocelyn Mitiguy fired a shot from 25 yards out that went just wide left. With 6:53 to go, a long shot from was snared by Lucas (seven saves).
As time wound down, the Yachtsmen managed to prevent another good look, but the hosts almost replicated the buzzer beating last second goal from the boys' game when Greely won possession with under 10 seconds to go. A long cross then trickled through the box, certainly causing Falmouth and its fans to hold their collective breath, but no Ranger could reach the ball and it rolled harmlessly away as the horn sounded, signifying that the Yachtsmen's 1-0 triumph was official.
"(Greely) put a lot of pressure on us," said Darrow. "They're a good team. We had to give our all."
"Not a lot of people have talked about Greely, but they're very intelligent and hard working," said LeBlanc. "A quality club. I felt it would be similar to the Cape game where i expected Greely to possess the ball and I was curious to see how we'd react to that. I thought our girls came out fairly strong, then Greely won 50-50 balls and took control of the game. I felt at halftime we made some nice adjustments. It was tough to hold on. They put pressure on us. The worst thing in a one-goal game is to sit back and try to protect it. What I did like was our midfield play and trying to identify how they were changing field.
"I love when we have pressure games. It reveals our weaknesses and allows us to grow. Last year was a tough game to deal with, but it was an important game for us. It wasn't really about revenge. It was about playing on Greely's field and being able to meet the intensity they'd bring our way. Walking out of here, the girls did a nice job with that."
Considering that Greely was playing just its second game to Falmouth's four and that the Rangers have a lot of new faces in new places, coach Michael Kennedy wasn't too distraught over the result.
"This is game two for us, so we're having to learn this on the fly," Kennedy said. "This team is different from last year. We have to replace 40 goals. Although we have a ton of talent up top, putting balls in the net takes time, especially against a quality team. We outshot them, 18-5. In previous years, if we got that many shots, we'd score three or four goals. We had great opportunities. We hit the post. We had a couple really close ones. It'll come. It was a fluky goal down there. We did everything right defensively. Usually, we're OK giving up a goal. We just didn't finish the way we wanted to.
"This is a young team and they want to play. Especially for an offense that's trying to develop an identity. It's hard to do in practice. Especially when you're young and haven't played Falmouth or played under the lights. The schedule isn't why we lost tonight, but it's definitely a factor. We'll play the cards we're dealt. I was very happy with what we did offensively, even though we didn't score. I thought Julia, Allie and Izzy created great opportunities. That will play dividends down the line. Izzy needed to have this experience. She needed to know what it felt like. She almost tied it."
Greely goes to Poland Thursday and visits York Saturday. The Rangers return home Tuesday to face Fryeburg.
Falmouth is back in action Saturday when it visits Gray-New Gloucester. The Yachtsmen play just their second home game Tuesday versus Freeport.
"I think we still have to work as hard as we've been working, keep pushing hard and believe in each other," Darrow said. "We're having a lot of fun. That's what matters."
"We've grown quite a bit, but we have a ways to go," said LeBlanc. "There are things we need to do better and we'll keep working on that. They're figuring out how to work with each other and trust each other more. It's a long season. We'll keep working on it."
The Rangers-Yachtsmen rematch is Oct. 13 at Falmouth.
"Our job is to be better at the end," Kennedy said. "We'll be better at the end. We're not worried about game two. Playing at their place at the end of the season, we'll have it figured out by then."

Mulching Blades vs. High Lift
I have a 48" Lesco walk behind and a 36" Bobcat walk behind. I like mulching to keep the grass clippings on the lawn and have these gator blades. I used them some in the fall when the leaves were down but used the high lift blades last spring. I was thinking that I would leave on the gator blades and mulch all year. What is your experience with mulching blades? Does it leave a cleaner cut or does it clump up on the right side of the deck?
Some people on here will tell a completely different story, but I went from using high lifts to gator style blades on my exmarks, and didnt notice one bit of difference at all! Even with the chute blocked and mulching leaves last fall, I thought both types of blades performed exactly the same. but maybe it depends on which mower it is used on?
mulching blades don't work as well in thick, damp heavy growth. They will chop up the clipping smaller then a high lift resulting in clumping. Under normal conditions (average growth) they work great. There's a difference between the two.
depends a lot on your grasses and if you have a lot of dew and or lush growth. Highlifts are the only way to go if you have these conditions, gators will chew up the grass better, but when it's wet you get the deck packed full and a lot less discharge distance = clumps. Gator blades don't have nearly the amount of "lift" as highlifts do so your cut quality may suffer, especially on stringy stuff or weeds that need the suction to pull them up for a clean cut. Without the suction they may just lay over and not be cut fully.
That's how it is here, and gator blades, for myself personally, are only used in the fall to help shread leaves.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
im also using gator blades on my gravely. havent used it much so i was interested to hear reviews as well. got a pair of reg blades just in case they turn out to be ****
i ran a mulch kit on my 48 w/b.......if its your only mower, i wouldnt do the mulch kit. It slowed me down alot,
I prefer the gator blades, it still cuts great, and chops it up just enoough to you dont have the clippings laying on the lawn. and you can bag with them to, so its the best of both worlds.
I think the gators suck for mulching grass...they just mash it up and make a mess.
In FL i used gator blades year round with no problems becuse the blades of grass are flat and course so they cut easier even though the turf is so much thicker. Here in TN the gator blades do a fine job in early spring and in fall but when the grass gets growing quick the high lift seen to be the way to go. It lifts any weeds and low blades and leaves a very nice cut. My mower will through grass clipping about 15', but they are not mulched up so I raise the deck and make like 3 passes and its all gone. The high lift blades will not work good if your chute is blocked.

Why be normal, when you can be SUPERIOR!!:nono:
My experience with gator style blades has not been good. They do not do any one thing great, and do most things average.
They do not bag that well. They shred average when side discharging. They are terrible with a full mulch kit. They leave stringers more than any other combination I have ever tried.
They stripe awful for me, too.
This all includes double blade setups as well. As soon as I add a gator style to the mix I get stringers. I could never figure out what the heck was going on...everyone else seems to love using a gator up top of a medium lift blade.
The Raptor style designs have been great for me so far, but I am sure it varies from deck to deck. I have all Toro SFS decks meant for discharging or bagging, since there is no front chamber baffle for the blades. They shred nicely, discharge well and not as far as high lifts or any double blade combo, and work GREAT with my mulch kit installed (when conditions of growth allow). They leave a nice stripe and have great lift on par with the bagging blade that is standard on the SFS decks. The problem with them is, when bagging they fill the bag tight as all heck and you dont realize until you finally see a line of shredded grass form when it cant get into the bag anymore. Makes for a heavy and difficult to dump bag.

The 25-year-old's contract with Twente expires at the end of the season and he has long been linked with a move away from the club.
Newcastle United and Fulham are both reportedly interested in the defender. Douglas has already turned down a transfer to Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala.
Inter Milan are now reportedly leading the race to sign Douglas.
"It is good that a top club like Anzhi made an offer to Douglas, but he wants to play in Serie A," his representative Marcos Paulo Ribeiro told Russian newspaper Izvestia.
"And when Inter showed interest in the player, we decided to stop negotiations with the Russian club and wait for the summer transfer market."
