WorldNetDaily Pundit Claims 'Mac-Daddy Sissy' Obama's Criticism Of Donald Sterling Is Just A Distraction From Benghazi
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 4/29/2014 10:10 am
WorldNetDaily is out with yet another column defending Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling over his alleged racist remarks.
In a WND column published today, pundit Mychal Massie insists that "Sterling has done more for blacks than Obama."
Massie writes that "as quick as you can say 'Mac-Daddy sissy,' Obama" found "time to feign insult over Sterling's comments." He speculates that Obama is trying to use Sterling's comments as a distraction from Benghazi and "reports that Michelle plans to divorce him (supposedly over his countless affairs)."
The past two weeks have been a race-monger's dream. Cliven Bundy responded to an interview question that has allowed the press to portray both him and those of us who support him as racist.
And as quick as you can say "Mac-Daddy sissy," Obama, with the blood of the Benghazi Four (Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glenn Doherty) on his hands; the IRS scandal; Fast and Furious (and the blood of Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata also on his hands); unemployment at unparalleled highs; America becoming a food-stamp nation; Japanese reports that Michelle plans to divorce him (supposedly over his countless affairs); and "If you like your insurance you can keep it," he finds time to feign insult over Sterling's comments.
Obama's comments were morally opprobrious and boorish but obviously not out of character for him. Obama has done less to further the racial unity of America and more to exasperate and, indeed, to exacerbate racial and religious tensions in America and around the world than any American leader before him.
I know many blacks live for the opportunity to be portrayed as victims of rich white men who are racist and say or do something that validates what blacks desire to believe. But Sterling has done more for blacks than Obama.

text: Lansing's Oak Park YMCA will be closed Friday after a carbon monoxide leak forced the building to be evacuated Thursday evening. Two people reported feeling light-headed and weak earlier in the day. They were tested at Sparrow Hospital, which told the YMCA staff to clear the building after they tested positive for the colorless and odorless gas. Lansing firefighters believe a faulty heater caused the leak. The YMCA recommends anyone who was in the building Thursday get checked out, especially pregnant women and the elderly.

(Supermarket Simulation) Write a program that simulates a checkout line at a supermarket.
The line is a queue object. Customers (i.e., customer objects) arrive in random integer intervals of from
1 to 4 minutes. Also, each customer is serviced in random integer intervals of from 1 to 4 minutes.
Obviously, the rates need to be balanced. If the average arrival rate is larger than the average service
rate, the queue will grow infinitely. Even with �balanced� rates, randomness can still cause long lines.
Run the supermarket simulation for a 12-hour day (720 minutes), using the following algorithm:
a) Choose a random integer between 1 and 4 to determine the minute at which the first
customer arrives.
b) At the first customer�s arrival time, do the following:
Determine customer�s service time (random integer from 1 to 4).
Begin servicing the customer.
Schedule arrival time of next customer (random integer 1 to 4 added to the current time).
c) For each simulated minute of the day, consider the following:
If the next customer arrives, proceed as follows:
Say so.
Enqueue the customer.
Schedule the arrival time of the next customer.
If service was completed for the last customer, do the following:
Say so.
Dequeue next customer to be serviced.
Determine customer�s service completion time (random integer from 1 to 4
added to the current time).
Now run your simulation for 720 minutes and answer each of the following:
a) What is the maximum number of customers in the queue at any time?
b) What is the longest wait any one customer experiences?
c) What happens if the arrival interval is changed from 1 to 4 minutes to 1 to 3 minutes?

Intended primarily for Managerial Economics courses, this text also provides practical content to current and aspiring industry professionals.
Economics is a powerful tool that can help managers to manage effectively. In Managerial Economics Jeffrey Perloff and James Brander use real-world issues and examples from actual markets to show future managers how economic principles can be used in business decisions.
In text examples and boxed mini-cases use actual data to illustrate how to use basic models. For example, to illustrate rivalry in oligopolistic markets, the authors look at rivalry between United and American Airlines and between Coke and Pepsi. Mini-case examples include why American Apparel is vertically integrated and why upscale manufacturers limit the number of designer hand-bags a customer is allowed to buy.
To help future managers learn to solve new problems, Perloff and Brander repeatedly demonstrate problem-solving through in-text Q&As. Each Q&A poses an important managerial or economic issue and demonstrates how to solve it using a step-by-step approach.

Notes posted to Ruby on RailsRSS feed
Validating presence of parent in child
When creating a parent and its children using nested attributes, you can use the :inverse_of option on the association to correctly set the parent back references:
class Parent < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :children, :inverse_of => :parent accepts_nested_attributes_for :children end class Child < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :parent validates_presence_of :parent end
Instead of using:
Now use:
update_all and serialized attributes
If you use update_all to change an attribute marked as serialized ( using ActiveRecord::Base.serialize ), you need to call to_yaml yourself:
User.update_all({ :preferences => { :first_name => 'John', :last_name => 'Doe' }.to_yaml })
add_to_base in Rails 3
model_instance.errors[:base] << "Msg"
instead of depracated
for Rails 3
Depracated add_to_base
model_instance.errors[:base] << "Msg"
instead of depracated
for Rails 3
Confusing log output
If you do a single Rails.cache.read('my_key'), your will usually see in your log something like
Cache read: my_key Cache read: my_key Cache write: my_key
Don't worry about this.
What happens here is this: Before going to memcached, rails will first ask a local MemoryStore cache (which is responsible for the first and third line in the log), before falling through to memcached. This local cache is destroyed after each request.
Source is in activesupport/lib/active_support/cache/strategy/local_cache.rb.
In Rails3 use "unscoped" instead
The with_exclusive_scope examples no longer work in Rails3 because with_exclusive_scope is now a protected method which can and should not be used in a controller. Use the new unscoped method instead:
For mor details and examples have a look at: http://github.com/rails/rails/commit/bd1666ad1de88598ed6f04ceffb8488a77be4385.
When using enumerables
When using enumerables and storing them as strings in the database don't forget to use .to_s or the select helper won't automatically select your choice when viewing your data after save.
dates = 1900..Date.today.year f.select(:year, dates.collect {|d| [d.to_s,d.to_s]}, {:include_blank => "Select"}, {:class => "some_class"} )
Path Segments
url_options Returns a hash with path segments.
{:_path_segments=>{:action=>"show", :location=>"los-angeles-ca", :controller=>"city"}, :script_name=>"", :protocol=>"http://", :host=>"localhost:3000"}
Testing Named Scopes
Thanks for the example of testing named_scopes. Being new to Rails, I struggled to find examples that I could understand. Here is another "simple" test for a named_scope
Mine differs slightly from the one above in that I had to remove a set of {} in the :conditions in my test to avoid an "odd number list for Hash" error. I also replace the param-binding "?" with the number I expect to send in as an argument. My test would did know what args[0] was. I got an "undefined local variable" error.
The named scope in my model:
named_scope :up_to_and_including_year, lambda{ |*args| {
:conditions => ["to_char(grad_dt1,'YYYY') <= ?", args[0]] }}
The test:
test "named_scope :up_to_and_including_year" do expected_options = { :conditions => ["to_char(grad_dt1,'YYYY') <= ?", '2010'] } assert_equal expected_options, Sso::CourseTaken.up_to_and_including_year('2010').proxy_options end
Inverse function
String#underscore is inverse for the camelize.
"active_record".camelize.underscore # => "active_record"
assert_select negative with regex
(also, you can use instance vars)
assert_select "div#event_#{assigns[event].id}", { :count => 0, :html => /something/ }
label DOES translate
Maybe it used to not translate but I know it does as of 2.3.8. It is first lookup on the key:
If that doesn't return anything it will use the human_attribute_name method on ActiveRecord::Base to translated which uses:
I generally use both of these keys even when I don't want to translate but just to have a single place where all my adjusted labels are stored.
If any form will need to use the same adjustment given the same object and attribute then I put in on the activerecord key. If the adjustment is form specific then I put it on the helpers key. Here is an example from real working code:
en: activerecord: attributes: "content/rich_text": name: Page name helpers: label: content_rich_text: testimonial_enabled: Enabled
Note that my AR object is a namespaced object (Content::RichText). In the activerecord key I need to change this to content/rich_text so if can find the correct key and put it in quotes to make it valid YAML. At the helper level on the other hand the namespace simply becomes an _.
:confirm, :popup, and :method override :onclick
upplying any combination of :confirm, :popup, and/or :method options to the link_to method results the :onclick option being overridden.
link_to "Delete", '#', :confirm=>"Are you sure?", :onclick=>"destroyJsFunction()" # expected output # => Delete # actual output # => Delete
Note that the actual output doesn't include any mention of the "destroyJsFunction()" passed to the link_to method.
Rails 3 will use unobtrusive JavaScript, and I haven't tested how that will interact with the :onclick option.
Using strings as association names - beware of HashWithIndifferentAccess
If you merge a normal Hash into a HashWithIndifferentAccess, then the keys will convert to strings…
This will likely bite you if the merge is passed to AR find: as netmaniac said "Beware, that using strings as association names, when giving Hash to :include will render errors".
Beware that params from your controller are HashWithIndifferentAccess like.
If your add_index is being ignored in your migration, see this
My add_index command was producing no change in my MySQL 5.0 database:
add_index :designations, [ :scope_type, :scope_id, :role_id, :user_id ], :unique => true
By just adding an index name, the problem was solved:
add_index :designations, [ :scope_type, :scope_id, :role_id, :user_id ], :unique => true, :name => 'my_index'
This happens when the autogenerated index name gets too long. For more info see:
To use in testing
If you want to use this in a test, add the following to test_helper.rb:
include ActionDispatch::TestProcess
(If using factory_girl, you can call it in your Factory, like so:
f.photo { fixture_file_upload 'test.png', 'image/png' }
Moved in Rails 3
In Rails 3, this has moved to ActionDispatch::TestProcess
(Which means, if you want to use it in a test, you need to add the following to test_helper.rb:)
include ActionDispatch::TestProcess
When scripts don't end in .js
For example, Google Custom Search's URL is http://www.google.com/jsapi
It's an ugly hack, but works:
= javascript_include_tag('http://www.google.com/jsapi').sub('.js', '')
See in_place_editing as the new update
See http://github.com/cementhorses/in_place_editing for the new plugin to use as a substitute.
redirect_to :root
You can redirect to your main page using
redirect_to :root
Make sure to configure to root route first:
to set NULL => NO
use :null => false
change_column :my_table, :my_column, :integer, :default => 0, :null => false
Changing to MySql:BIGINT
I can change a column type from INT to BIGINT with this command:
change_column :my_table, :my_column, :bigint
Routing changes in Rails 3
See ActionDispatch::Routing for routing in Rails 3.
Doesn't output into STDOUT
Oddly enough it runs a rake task without any sort of output. To get around it you can simple substitute it with:
puts run('rake your_task')
Unless somebody has a better idea?
Looking for documentation of helper methods like: template, directory, file, etc?
Well, it's not here. For Rails 3 they are part of Thor::Actions
If you need to pass a value
In the above example 'value' happens to be either true or false depending if the option was passed in or not. If you wish to capture an actual value you'll want something like this:
def add_options!(opt) opt.on('-option=value') { |value| options[:option] = value } end
You can scope uniqueness as well
validates :user_name, :presence => true, :uniqueness => {:scope => :account_id} # the old way validates_uniqueness_of :user_name, :scope => :account_id
Method moved in 2.1 and again in 3.0 (beta)
It was moved from and back to Module#alias_method_chain
Re: IE GOTCHA
That has nothing to do with IE. When you specify :cache => true you are saying that the files referenced should be saved to a file called all.js. When the script encounters the next line, it will overwrite the same file with the new contents.
Caching is not compressing, it doesn't make sense to do with individual files, but it can make sense some times. I someone wants to do it, just specify a name for the cached file:
javascript_include_tag 'layout', 'typography', :cache => 'base' javascript_include_tag 'admin/layout', 'admin/extras', :cache => 'admin'

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of No nonsense for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
How often do you find an item you love to wear, that looks great, is comfortable and affordable?
Not very often, right?
Well No Nonsense has teamed up with fashion expert Jill Martin to create a new line of No nonsense tights and leggings in fantastic colors and patterns.
I'm pretty much in love with them. I could live in leggings! Who wouldn't love leggings?
Leggings are as comfortable as pajamas, but make almost any outfit appear dressy.
No Nonsense sent me a pair of leggings and tights and I will say that they are great quality and super comfortable!
I'm not just saying that. I have a lot of leggings and their's are the softest and most comfortable that I've ever tried. The top of them hits at a nice waist level, and the tights have a comfortable, but thick enough top, to create a smooth mid-line. After having 5 kids, this is pretty necessary for me!
What are my favorites in this new collection?
The red leggings, the jean leggings, the colored tights and the lace tights (personal fave).
To see more colors and styles, check out this quick video.
Like I had mentioned before, No Nonsense sent me a pair of leggings and tights.
Here is a picture of the tights.
They really are extremely comfortable and hit at a nice waist level, holding in the area below the navel.
The leggings were so soft and comfortable. I would highly recommend them.
Wear them with any longer shirt of sweater. I add a belt and boots to just about everything this time of year. It makes it easy and comfortable to look dressy.
The No nonsense tights and leggings are affordable and can be found at most food and drug stores, as well as mass retail.
For specials and more information follow No nonsense on Facebook or Twitter!
Keep the No nonsense tights and leggings in mind when thinking about your 2013 wardrobe choices! They are a great idea for affordable style!

Brook: Khan Will Probably Say I Need Another Title!
Kell Brook is the new IBF welterweight champion after claiming a majority decision over Shawn Porter in Carson, California.
The Sheffield fighter had been waiting 18 months for his title shot after seeing three clashes with Devon Alexander fall through, with Porter taking advantage to defeat Alexander and claim the belt.
But Brook took his chance when it came in a tight and at times untidy clash, with the judges handing him the contest 114-114, 117-111, 116-112.
Brook's win now sets up the potential for a domestic tussle against Amir Khan with both men eventually eyeing a bout against pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather who holds the WBC and WBA straps.
The early rounds were tight affairs with Porter showing more aggression getting forward but Brook getting the better shots in and using the jab.
Brook was cut at the end of second but the wound did not appear to be deep and the 28-year-old gave a good showing in the third but Porter was still looking the busier despite not particularly troubling his opponent.
Porter sustained a cut at the end of the sixth and Brook rocked the American with a big uppercut in the closing stages of the next with the Briton beginning to look on top in the middle stages.
Brook was now the aggressor, taking the fight to his opponent at every opportunity, perhaps sensing that he would have to impress to be handed a points decision in Porter's home country.
And so it proved, with the judges handing Brook the decision as the Yorkshireman improved his record to 33-0 and inflicted a first professional defeat on Porter.
"I knew I was born to do this," Brook told Sky Sports. "I've come over here to his back yard from little England and I'm the champ."
On a potential fight with Khan, he added: "The British public want it. He'll probably say that I need to win another title for the fight.
"I know he doesn't like me. The fact is, he is getting it. I'm the champ of the world."

Staff Predictions: Seth Mitchell v. Johnathon Banks
By Jake Donovan
There was a time when HBO made it a point to always have the lineal heavyweight king under contract, while showcasing most of the top contenders on somewhat of a regular basis.
Those days are long gone. Depending on your viewpoint, it's either a rare treat or an occasional disappointment whenever the network airs a heavyweight fight these days. In recent years, a heavyweight on HBO means Al Haymon is in his corner – leading us to this weekend's co-feature.
In fairness, the network isn't in the Seth Mitchell business solely based on his management. The former high school and college football standout has been fun to watch in the ring the moment he turned pro. Two previous appearances on HBO have shown that, taking care of business early against Timur Ibragimov and surviving an early scare to get rid of Chazz Witherspoon earlier this year.
Standing in the opposite corner this weekend is Johnathon Banks, a fundamentally sound boxer-puncher from boxing-rich Detroit.
Banks made headlines for several reasons in recent times. The former cruiserweight title challenger took over the training reins for heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko in the wake of the death of the legendary Emanuel Steward, all while training for his own fight Saturday evening.
The winner is in line for a final elimination bout, with the victor of that fight due a mandatory title shot against Vitali Klitschko.
Read on to see how the Boxingscene.com staff believes the battle of the big boys will go down:
I think Johnathon Banks will provide Seth Mitchell with his stiffest test to date. Banks will be fighting for Emmanuel Steward but I don't think it will be enough. Mitchell will take the next step towards title contention and win via UD.
– Ryan Burton (Mitchell)
Expect Banks to deliver an inspiring performance in honor of his late trainer, the legendary Emanuel Steward. Will it be enough to carry him to victory? The guess here – is probably not. Mitchell will possibly be down on the cards when he rallies to score a KO before the rounds hit double digits
– Jake Donovan (Mitchell)
Mitchell may be a poor man's (or a homeless man's) Tyson, but he in no way should be considered on a level that'll yield more than dismissive waves from the Brothers Klitschko. Fortunately for him, Banks isn't even on that level. Unless Wlad hops in the ring and handles his sparring partner's affairs, it doesn't figure to end well for JB. Mitchell KO 6
– Lyle Fitzsimmons (Mitchell)
Banks TKO6- call it a hunch but I think Banks will be on an emotional journey that started with the passing of trainer and mentor Manny Steward and culminates with an upset over Seth Mitchell
– Ernest Gabion (Banks)
Mitchell TKO 7 Banks : Banks is definitely Mitchell's stiffest test yet seems to have had a lot on his plate recently. Banks stepped in as Klitschko's trainer while he was preparing for Mitchell. I expect Banks to outbox Seth early but pure athleticism will be the key advantage. When Banks tires Mitchell will pounce testing Banks questionable chin leading to a stoppage late in the fight
- Tim Kudgis (Mitchell)
Seth Mitchell KO7 Johnathon Banks. I think Mitchell will apply the necessary pressure and firepower to gradually overwhelm Banks.
- Ryan Maquiñana (Mitchell)
Mitchell KO Banks: This is a pretty routine showcase fight. Banks might make it three.
– Cliff Rold (Mitchell)
This heavyweight could go in different directions. Mitchell has improved his boxing ability to compliment his power. I still think Banks has faced the stronger opposition in the US and Europe. He may be fighting with a heavy heart due to the passing of Emanuel Steward, but maybe that will motivate him to win for him. Then again, Mitchell could build off the impressive knockout victories he's had in the last year or so. Still, something tells me that despite some inconsistencies in his career, Banks is able to fight through his emotions and win a hard-fought victory foe "Manny."
- Francisco Salazar (Banks)
Mitchell TKO6 - A good step up for the still evolving Mitchell and I think he'll pass another test on the road to the top. Banks will no doubt come into this fight motivated due to the passing of trainer Emmanuel Steward and will give a great effort. But Mitchell will put it together and stop Banks in 6 in a fun fight.
- Luis Sandoval (Mitchell)
Mitchell is a man on a mission. The same cannot be said about Mr. Banks, who downgraded his level of opposition drastically over the last two years. Banks looked a bit soft in all of his heavyweight fights and, unlike Chazz Witherspoon, has little chance of cracking Seth's jaw. The fight will be fun till it lasts though for Banks being a brave operator, who will go toe-to-toe and fist-to-fist with the prospect. "...And by the sword he will die, Mitchell KO5
– Alexey Sukachev (Mitchell)
Total: Seth Mitchell 8, Johnathon Banks 2
The Mitchell-Banks heavyweight scrap serves as the televised co-feature of an HBO doubleheader. The show is headlined by the lightweight title fight between Antonio DeMarco and unbeaten former 130 lb. titlist Adrien Broner. Both bouts air live from the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Mitchell will defeat Banks who can then pursue his career as a boxing trainer in the footsteps of Mr. Emanuel Steward.Comment by 4Corners on 11-17-2012
Banks looked out of shape at the weigh in, to me at least. Looking at how he looked in other fights, he looked a chubby.Comment by Walt Liquor on 11-17-2012

Amid fears of salmonella contaminations, Sabor Farms, a Central California company, is voluntary recalling a batch of fresh cilantro sold in grocery stores in California and other states.
In yet another case of food contamination linked to salmonella outbreak, 89 people have fallen sick in 15 states including Washington, D.C., the Center for Disease and Prevention (CDC) reported Thursday.
The salmonella organisms seem to be on a contamination spree in the United States! After tainting several beef products and eggs over the last few months, the latest target of the fast spreading bacteria is the leading pet product company in the nation.
Adding further woes to Iowa-based Wright County Egg of Galt, the egg supplier has voluntarily expanded its recall to include another 152 million eggs over fears of Salmonella taints.
Burrillville, R.I. January 24 -- Amidst concerns of a salmonella contamination, 1.24 million pounds of pepper-coated salami and variety packs made by Daniele Inc., a Rhode Island company have been voluntarily recalled.
Salinas, California, September 18:In a year which has been high on food recalls, spinach has been added to dried milk, pistachio nuts, peanut butter and a wide variety of tainted food products.

So I called. A "foreigner" answered, which I could barely understand, should have been first red flag. Then she had me give the release code and began to explain the application process for approval. The normal amount for the packet is $59 but for me it is free!!! (red flag) Then she gets to where she needs my credit card number because shipping is $12.95. BIG RED FLAG!!!
I simply said I do not have a credit card right now, so she said to call back when I did.
Thanks to this sight I am 100% sure it is a scam. On the card it has a little box where is says WARNING: $2,000 fine and/or 5 year imprisonment for interfering or obstructing with delivery, of this letter, US Mail Security, 1708 so it looks legitimate.

With easy starting, relatively quiet motors and zero emissions, electric leaf blowers are a user-friendly choice. Unlike gas-powered models, there's no pouring of gas or oil, no annual engine servicing and no winterization required. Electric blowers can either be plug-in models or cordless and run from batteries. A corded electric blower uses an extension cord for power, which limits how far you can go with them, but not how long they can be used. Extension cords generally aren't included, so they present an additional cost. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines when you purchase one -- and be sure to choose one that's rated for outdoor use. A cordless model cuts the extension-cord tether, but will only run as long as the batteries have juice -- no more than an hour with most models, and then only at its lowest speeds.
You won't get quite as much power with an electric model as you will with a gas leaf blower, but the best electric models are still strong enough for most chores outside the house. Plus, many have a range of speeds, including lower speeds that are ideal for clearing debris from around delicate landscaping and for blow-drying cars.
Of the plug-in electric blowers available, the Toro 51619 Ultra Blower Vac (Est. $70) looks to be a top choice. This is a minor update of the Toro 51609 Ultra Blower Vac (Est. $85), which, while still available at retail, is being phased out. The old model was a standout in comparative testing, was named the top leaf blower by TheSweetHome.com, and drew tons of mostly positive user feedback. The newer 51619 looks to be following closely in those footsteps. It's not been professionally tested as of yet, though TheSweethome.com's Doug Mahoney says that, pending its own testing, "it appears to be the same tool with minor variations." Those variations include a more powerful blower, rated at an air flow of 250 mph and air volume of 410 cfm, versus 235 mph and 390 cfm for the older 51609. However, the new model is also about a pound heavier, at 8.5 pounds, which could lead to some extra fatigue with extended use.
The Toro Ultra Blower Vac remains feature packed. It has a powerful 12-amp motor; converts to a vacuum in seconds and without tools; and has a new, larger metal impeller that finely mulches, reducing debris volume by 88 percent. The variable speed control lets you choose the right power for every task. The vacuum bag doubles as a storage bag; you can pack everything inside and hang it on a wall.
User feedback is beginning to accumulate, and so far the Toro 51619 Ultra Blower Vac looks to be just as well liked as its predecessor. While Amazon.com mingles the feedback for several similar blowers together, the 51619 draws more than 170 reviews and largely positive ratings (over 150 of these are 4 stars or, mostly, 5 stars). We saw more than 50 reviews for the 51619 at the Toro site, where it earns a 4.4-star score that's very much in line with what its predecessor earned. Normally, we take feedback at manufacturer sites with a grain of salt, but Toro uses a third-party authentication service and there seems to be no censorship of negative reviews, so these appear to be valid.
Based on that and similar user feedback, and based on the improvements over its predecessor, we are naming the Toro 51619 Ultra Blower Vac as our Best Reviewed choice, though if you find it in retail at an attractive price its predecessor, the Toro 51609 Ultra Blower Vac is still well worth considering.
For those looking to spend bottom dollar, and willing to do without a vacuum mode, the Toro 51585 Power Sweep (Est. $35) is worth considering as well. Weighing only 4.6 pounds, it has two speeds, and comes with a two-year warranty.
Expert reviews aren't impressive, but those compare the Toro Power Sweep to more powerful, and more expensive, blowers. Instead, the Power Sweep is best suited to clearing dry leaves from walks, decks and driveways rather than anything more heavy duty, and even then expect that more than one sweep might be required.
Users, on the other hand, seem very pleased. At HomeDepot.com, there are roughly 380 reviews posted, and while that number again includes reviews from Toro's site, nonetheless the score is an impressive 4.6 stars out of 5, with around 97 percent saying that they would recommend the Power Sweep to a friend. There's less feedback at LeafBlowerDirect.com, but all are of that site's customers, all give it nearly perfect scores, and 100 percent give this cheap leaf blower their recommendation.
There are a number of pluses. The Toro Power Sweep is easy to carry, maneuver and store, reviewers say. In addition, the controls are conveniently mounted on the handle, and you can lock the speed so that you don't have to hold the trigger for continuous use. It's also among the quieter leaf blowers; neighbors shouldn't be excessively disturbed, though experts still say that ear protection should be worn by the user
Cordless blowers are very convenient, and some hold their own alongside corded and even gas-powered blowers. However, the cost of their rechargeable batteries drives their cost up compared to corded electric blowers.
Among cordless leaf blowers, we saw some of the strongest recommendations for the EGO LB4801 (Est. $180). It's a Recommended leaf blower and a Best Buy in one large comparative review. It's also the favorite cordless blower at TheSweetHome.com, where Mahoney says it's on a par power-wise with the Toro 51609 Ultra Blower Vac. "The EGO is really able to get under compacted leaves and dust them up into the air," he adds. That's because despite the relatively low maximum air velocity of 92 mph, the EGO can move a lot of air and is rated at 480 cfm at its highest speed, down to 250 cfm at its lowest.
Of course, other than cost, the biggest downside to a cordless blower is the limited run time. In the case of the EGO, Mahoney found that it could last about 10 minutes on high, and up to an hour on low. But since that lowest speed won't do for "heavy-duty leaf moving", he suggest that the LB4801 fits best with "small properties, decks, patios, driveways, and gutter cleaning."
The batteries are swappable, so you could have spares charged up and ready to go to cover a larger property, though at around $130 each for a 2 Ah battery (more powerful -- and pricier -- batteries are available as well) costs can add up quickly. On the other side of the coin, the EGO leaf blower uses the same batteries as other gardening gear from the company, and the line includes a mower, hedge trimmer, string trimmer and a chain saw. If you already own other EGO gear (and presumably a battery and charger for those), the blower minus the battery is available for around $100.
One plus with this leaf blower is noise -- and that can be a major plus for those nearby neighbors. The EGO is judged to be the quietest leaf blower tested by TheSweetHome.com, and that's echoed in other expert reviews -- it's one of the few blowers that's said to be quiet enough to not require operator ear protection.
We saw mixed expert feedback on handling and ease of use. One reviewer calls the blower "easy to handle and control," but Mahoney has some gripes with the speed control system, especially for use at the highest speed. "The EGO is really a three-speed tool, with variable speed only between the low and middle speeds, and the high speed is controlled in a different place," he says, adding "It doesn't make any sense, unless EGO is subtly trying to discourage users from spending all of their time at the top speed, due to the significant battery drain that incurs." Be that as it may, we didn't see much griping from owners over ease-of-use, and it rates 4.8 stars on that attribute at HomeDepot.com, the primary retailer for this leaf blower.
Speaking of user feedback, it's excellent. We saw more than 725 reviews at HomeDepot.com, where the EGO LB4801 earns a 4.5-star rating, with recommendations from 90 percent of owners. We also saw good feedback at Amazon.com, but with a major caveat. It's only available from third-party sellers at that site and some negative feedback posted there complains that while the blower is fine, EGO will only honor the five-year warranty if you buy the LB4801 from Home Depot.
Like most cordless leaf blowers -- at least those with much in the way of positive expert feedback -- The EGO lacks a vacuum function. If that's a must, the Black & Decker LSWV36 40V Lithium Sweeper/Vacuum (Est. $145) may be worth considering. That price includes a rechargeable Black & Decker LBXR36 40-Volt Lithium Ion Battery (Est. $85), which is shared by a host of other Black & Decker garden equipment, including a mower, hedge trimmer, string trimmer and chain saw. If you already have compatible gear, and the battery, the blower is available separately as well as the Black & Decker LSWV36B (Est. $70).
The Black & Decker Sweeper/Vacuum isn't intended for heavy duty tasks, and those who keep that in mind are generally satisfied. With a maximum air speed of 120 mph and air volume of 90 cfm, it's only suitable for removing debris from hard surfaces, such as driveways, walkways and decks. It has a no-slip grip and a built-in scraper for loosening stuck-on debris. It converts easily from blower to vacuum and can mulch six bags of debris down to one. The model has a run time of 30 minutes when set on the lowest speed (10 to 15 minutes on the highest setting) and comes with a three-year warranty.
The Black & Decker Sweeper/Vacuum (both with and without the battery) gets a rating of 3.9 out of 5 stars based on roughly 480 reviews posted at Amazon.com. Owners say its durability, blower performance and vacuum-mulch kit make it a great value. Many negative reviews are from those who complain that it won't handle tougher jobs or clean up lawns -- but then again, that's not what this blower/vac is designed to do.

Wash Rule
A rule that says you should shower regularly—with soap, please. This rule also says you cannot sell a stock and then buy it back within 30 days, claiming it as a loss with the IRS to pay lower taxes.
You bought Netflix at $400 a share in October. It's now December 27th and you want to sell it here at $320 and take the $80 a share loss to make up for your gains that you realized by selling GOOG and YHOO at a tidy profit. It's smart tax planning so you sell.
New Year's Eve happens and you get anxious that Netflix is going to skyrocket in the next week. So you buy the same amount you sold January 15th. Bad news for you. You don't get to deduct the $80 a share loss you realized December 27th because you effectively "washed" that sale.

Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Elena Kagan did not recuse themselves from deciding how to handle lawsuits over President Obama's healthcare law, despite activist groups' calls for them to do so.
Conservative groups had called for Kagan to sit out the healthcare case because she was solicitor general when the solicitor general's office began planning its legal defense of the healthcare law and its individual mandate. She had previously indicated, however, that she was unlikely to recuse herself from the case.
Liberal groups said Thomas should not take part in the case because his wife has profited from speeches and other work explicitly calling for Congress to repeal the reform law.
Thomas and Kagan aren't expected to change their minds.
"Presumably, they made whatever judgments they were going to make," said Greg Katsas, a Jones Day partner representing NFIB.

Four arrested in huge coin theft
ALBURGH Vermont State Police say four Grand Isle County residents are facing charges of stealing more than $200,000 worth of gold coins from a vacant house after the eccentric owner had died in a farm accident.
Authorities have arrested 32-year-old Jennifer Jarvis, 35-year-old Ricky Benjamin and 52-year-old Mark Mumley, all of Alburgh, and 41-year-old Shawn Farrell, of Swanton, on possession of stolen property and other charges.
Theyre accused of breaking into a home that has been vacant for several months after the owner died and stealing the coins.
Police said Thursday that they sold the coins, ranging in value from $350 to $1,800, to coin and jewelry dealers around Chittenden County.
So far, police have recovered $5,000 worth of coins. More arrests are expected.MORE IN Central VermontMONTPELIER The race for Washington Countys three Senate seats is finally set and, following... Full StoryNew drug task force positions

Photos: Mayweather-Canelo, Thousands Mob MGM Grand
By Leopoldo Gonzalez
The entire MGM Grand in Las Vegas was packed with thousands of fans, who jammed the venue to watch Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26KOs) and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs) make weight for their WBC/WBA junior middleweight title clash on Saturday night. Neither fighter had any issues making the catch-weight limit of 152-pounds. The majority of the fans, as expected, were there to support Canelo.

We spoke to a lawyer, he called C. Heindel, atty for FMC, he stated he filed a "Nulla Bona". After double checking our files with the court clerks, the sheriff's and magistrates offices... no one has this so-called document. And it does have to be filed with the original filing. Another document they failed to actually file.
This is where the atty for FMC and FMC are in violation of law. We were informed that not only can we get the garnishment stopped, we can get our money back. And we can sue for damages. If anyone else has had this issue with Ford Motor Credit, let me know. Perhaps we can all help each other.
If they weren't so devious I wouldn't be placing this post. But they brought this on themselves. I will NEVER.. EVER own a Ford EVER AGAIN. I will spread this story to anyone who is willing to hear, I guarantee it. FORD is a failing company and has been for sometime... I can certainly see why.
Defiant to the end

Ford Also Sues Hipanics Who Were Tricked Into A Lease When They Thought They Were Purchasing

Go to www.9news.com and type in the name ORNELAS and search the story that made the Front Page of the Denver Post on 5-19-2005 and watch the Video that made the 10 o'clock News on the #1 most watched News Station in Colorado for PROOF!
Ford Motors and Toyota will be EXPOSED on National T.V. and there is hard proof to back everything up. It's time for the honest consumer to speak out about what is taking place within these PUBLICLY HELD COMPANIES.
You can also cost the Dealerships in your town THOUSANDS of dollars in lost sales by placing a small, inexpensive display ad that says this: GO TO www.ripoffreport.com and type in FORD.
That small ad will create awareness to consumers in your town and cost the FORD Dealers THOUSANDS of dollars. You have the power, just do it!! Good Luck!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
