in WP 4.2 ist es nicht anzeigbar. Ich bekomme es nicht auf die Seite. Irgend etwas ist kaputt an dem Teil - sorry
Installed, went to settings and it didn't do anything except lock up the whole site. Couldn't get any page to load, including in admin. Had to go to the db to disable the plugin.
This is the most comprehensive and adaptable plugin that I have used to date. There are so many options for customization. I love that. The authors respond very quickly on support questions which is so appreciated. Highly recommend. The only thing I'd like to see in an update is a way to import events via csv or something like that.
Thank you, great work.
The version you download here and get for free is the lite version. It doesn't have all the options they are marketing here. I created an event and uploaded an image to it. But upon viewing it, the image doesn't show up at all. Also the time frames don't allow you to make an event extend to the next day (9:00PM to 1:00AM). The event page itself, when clicked on from the monthly calendar view, is jammed into only half of the webpage and laid out to look rather confusing. I also put my settings at a 12 hour timeframe, yet when I hovered over my event on the calendar, it showed military time (24 hours). Also wasn't thrilled that I had to register and API key with my name and email in order to activate the free version as well. Overall not a good plugin for my needs. I uninstalled it and will look elsewhere.
Excellent Plugin.Its functioning is exactly what i need.Easy and Simple to use & customize.
Events Handler is the event management plugin for WordPress.
We would request users to download and use and it.
And let us know, your requirements, so we can implement it in the next release

Here was my quick take on the recent episode of The Flash using my DC Universe figures. I dig the sudden cameo of the Arrow and Firestorm to aid Barry against the reverse Flash.
For an action figure collector, what better way to kick start the year with some DC Universe and DC Super Heroes hauls!

Skip to comments.Bronze coins found in Somerset reveal Roman age of austerity
Posted on 12/16/2011 8:30:46 PM PST by SunkenCiv
Archaeologists are celebrating the donation of a hoard of Roman coins -- described as " a hugely significant find" -- to the new Museum of Somerset.
The 2,118 bronze coins, found by archaeologists excavating a site at Maundown, near Wiveliscombe, before Wessex Water built a new water treatment plant, may be evidence of financial crisis in Romano-British Somerset.
They were found in 2006 and have been donated to Somerset County Council by Wessex Water after a Treasure Inquest at Taunton last week heard that the British Museum disclaimed interest on behalf of the Crown.
Stephen Minnitt, Head of Museums, said: "The Maundown Hoard of coins is a hugely significant find because instead of being buried in an apparently isolated location, like many other hoards, it was positioned beneath the floor of a Roman timber building...
"The hoard was buried in about AD 298, just a few years after the recently discovered Frome hoard..."
The work of cleaning and recording the coins has been carried out at the British Museum.
Wessex Water funded the excavation and donated the hoard along with other finds of pottery and artefacts such as a shale bracelet...
The Museum of Somerset, which is located in Taunton Castle, is free to enter and is open from 10am to 5pm, Tuesday to Saturday and on Bank Holiday Mondays.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.
Interesting story with plenty of parallels to our current economy. The Romans kept debasing their currency until it was pretty much worthless. ...not to mention the illegal immigration issue they were dealing with over the Rio Rhine.
A couple years ago, I bought a bunch of uncleaned Roman coins for fun. Cleaning the coins was an adventure. It was really enjoyable to figure out what emperor was on each coin.
They were all supposed to be late bronze coins. Most were, but one turned out to be a silver Diocletian coin. That's one of my favorite little keepsakes.
I'm glad the British Museum let this find go to the Somerset Museum, the British Museum must have so many artifacts and the Somerset Museum I would think can't compete.
How wonderful!
The Empire cranked out the worthless currency during hard times and increasing debt—Keynesian theory didn't begin with Keynes--some Roman economists thinking they could spend their way out of downturns was a big part of the decline.
Historical value only.
Not guilty(the girl not the coins).
Not to belittle your endeavor, but actually cleaning coins totally ruins any numismatic value. Of course, they were where worthless anyway, lol.
The type of cleaning he is referring to is to clean the debris from the coin so you can actually see what it is. Not shining them up. When you get those batches, they are sometimes clumped together by the filth and dirt that they were discovered in.
Quite the reverse — the Roman economy boomed because the Romans figured out that currency is a gov't defined medium of exchange. Had they not discovered this, the Roman Empire would have vanished during the political chaos of the 3rd century. From the standpoint of having a pile of gold, the Roman Empire peaked under Trajan, but economically it thrived when the tax-crazy central authority was pretty much off everyone's backs and local or provincial authority was busy fighting the neighbors.
:') She's got a great look in her eye. Or maybe that's just in my eye...
BTW, I've often thought about trying one of those blobs of uncleaned coins.
True enough but bronze tender was the paper money of the time. It took ages to convince the civilized world that a promise of value equaled actual value.
The barbarian mercenaries the latter day Romans came to depend on for their national security demanded gold or plunder and they cared not where it came from.
Bronze does not bend easily when bitten and the savages would not be cheated.
Yabut completely ruins the taste of the soda.
Coca-Cola contains phosphoric acid, which will dissolve all kinds of corrosion on metals, bone, and teeth. Buy it at old-fashioned hardware stores and follow the directions.
However the Byzantine or Eastern Roman Empire hung on till 1453 and their gold Bezant was coin of the realm, of the world, for a very very long time
On the sublet of devaluation, I think of the process as being taught as Devaluation101 when studying to be king. The fact it has happened so many times in so many places leads me to conclude that the tried and true process for remedying the pains of too much borrowing or corruption is presently under way again.
As a current indicator, a measure of the inflation of prices, my yesterday's haircut cost 17% more than the last one.
So-called debasement has to with the fact that economic activity is the only source of wealth in the society, is open-ended and variable, and isn't a fixed amount. Fixed-size pies are agitprop tools of the confiscators and redistributors among us.
:') There was practically no gold paid to the legions and auxiliaries over the centuries of the Roman Empire, and the bigger the empire got, the more currency was needed. Soldiers were paid in salt (that's where the word "salary" comes from), vinegar, room and board, and after action booty from the occasional vanquished enemy. Bronze coin was never treated as paper money where gold could be demanded.
Trajan's big gold strike came from his conquest of Dacia with its gold mines, which go back into prehistory a bit; Trajan's catamite-loving successor had to be talked into hanging on to Dacia, but retreated from other areas (most famously, building Hadrian's Wall), and spent his time as emperor travelling a good bit of the Empire, and persecuting the Jews, all the while knocking off young boys.
Rome's gold supply went off into trade with India, if the complaints of at least one surviving Roman writer is true. The figures of this flow of gold were exaggerated (at best). Gold is rarely found on ancient wrecks from any era, it just wasn't carried along as a rule; trade was in goods, iow barter.
OTOH, some enterprising Roman actually brought pottery makers from India and established their industry on the Egyptian shore of the Red Sea, thus moving the supply closer to the Roman market, and obviating the need for the time factor of the monsoon trade route. Rome learned of the orangutan and brought it as a curiousity to amuse the riff raff, and imported a lot of pepper, not to mention the silk and other common Far East goods.
The Byzantines controlled a buttload of trade thanks to the location, and of course, they persisted a long time, so gold Byzantine coins are fairly commonplace today. A good many of the bronze coins dug up in the Balkans by people armed only with metal detectors are of late Roman Empire date, but a good many are Byzantine.
Byzantine goods were traded by sea throughout the former Roman west, as pottery (which persists even in a broken state for a long time in the soil) and other stuff from Byzantium is found in archaological contexts in the UK. I suspect that any coin in use in post-Roman Britain was locally circulated, and that commercial transactions were by barter, which always works.
I have met someone from the UK who has found buried metal here and there, and (ahem) has never reported any of it. I think there's a quantity standard at and above which reporting is legally required.
I'll concede your mastery of the subject, my thoughts being not always reliable remnants from High School history 40 years ago and assorted documentaries on TV.
My main historical interests are mostly of the last several centuries.
Besides,Thule,Atlantis and Mu are much more captivating ancient civilizations than stuffy bloody old Rome;)
Those are pretty interesting places to study, not least because the field is so wide open. :')
Gold : prices, facts, figures & research
Commodity Numbers FAQs
How much gold is there?
In the world there are currently somewhere between 120,000 and 140,000 tonnes of gold 'above ground'. To visualise this imagine a single solid gold cube with edges of about 19 metres (about three metres short of the length of a tennis court). That's all that has ever been produced.
Divided amongst the population of the world there are about 23 grams per person, about 1.2 cubic centimetres each. This equates to about $250 - $350 worth per person on Earth, depending on the current price.
Yes. I agree with this. Only getting the debris off is acceptable; not shining them up.

An electric knife sharpener is also a must have item in my kitchen. Professional cutlery comes with a sharp edge that only lasts so long and I often end up using my Chef's knife for everything from cutting chicken legs to peeling fruit skins. My best electric knife sharpener has a slot for the coarse wheel and also a slot with a fine wheel. It is pretty easy to use. I simply draw the knife through the slots and the sharpener already has an angle of about 20° making the stone hit the knife blade perfectly. I typically start with the coarsest stone first and then slowly draw the knife through twice. Then I do the same with the finest stone and always end up with a good sharp knife blade.
Temperature and safety go hand-in-hand in the kitchen. A meat thermometer is definitely essential and assures safety. There's no guessing with a thermometer, they are very easy-to-use and leave no room for error. Cooking poultry can be especially dangerous because of bacteria and the USDA states that using a thermometer is the only reliable way to make sure that meat is cooked to a safe temperature. Whether you're making a holiday turkey or baking a cake of thermometer takes away all the doubt. I have very simple thermometer that just pokes right into the meat. Those type are the best IMO and you can calibrate them very easily in a glass of cold ice water.
A very important part of cooking is mixing things that is why I am including mixers here as well. Whether you are kneading dough for pizza or bread or battering eggs, a mixer is an essential component in my kitchen. There are many varieties of mixers. With everything from hand held mixers to stand mixers this is a pretty wide category. I wish that I had one of those old time hand mixers like my mom had. The ultimate kitchen aid is the stand mixer with all the accessories. Stand mixers can take the place of a hand mixer, a wooden spoon and is pretty good at whisking eggs with a wire whip accessory. The stand mixer can be used as a juicer, a strainer, a grinder and food processor plus it can also be used as a blender. There are also accessories for doing things like making ice cream and pasta cutting and even rolling. He even attach a meat grinder and a sausage suffer to a stand mixer.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Snyder, Richard Jorge Snyder, Richard S. Snyder, Call Center Americas, Casa
Mexico, 1st.Co He conducted a real estate rental scam and stole over $12,000
from me and my family. He doubled booked us in a Villa in Cabo Villa Pedregal,
aka Casa Mi Madre aka All the Candy villa. He left me stranded in Mexico for
now where for my wife and children to sleep. We slept on the beach and in
taxis while Richard Stuart Snyder laughed it off and called me a sucker! He
refused to fix the problem or refund my money along with over 37 other victims
that I know of anyway with our combined losses of over $180,000 hard money not
to mention all of the money we each had to spend on trying to survive on the
streets of Mexico for 1-2 weeks depending on the victim during high season!
Since them he skipped Cabo for Puerto Vallarta with some new websites and new
scams. [continued below]....
police were closing in on him, so now he is hiding in Ajijic- Chapala Mexico
and my P.I. on the ground there informs me that took all of his victims money
and bought a $100,000 BMW, new house and bought a local Real Estate Rental
company to continue with his Real Estate Rental scam of taking peoples money
and then giving them nothing nor ever returning their deposits. Furthermore
those victims wanting to buy houses he is keeping their deposits and playing
games with their deeds and paperwork so my P.I. informs me. In order to expand
his crime wave he has started a telemarketing company to scam unsuspecting
people in Canada and the USA to make investments, rent properties and sell other
products the customers will never see. That info came directly from his own
employees there in ajijic whom are upset they have not been paid. You would
think even a scam artist would be smart enough to keep your scammers paid, but
a source inside of Casa Mexico says he spends all of his money eating out at
fancy restaurants, traveling, running around will girls 40+ years younger than
him, gambling, doing excessive amounts of cocaine, drinking and supporting his
prostitute addition with his victims money. What a life?
Stuart Snyder AKA Richard Jorge Snyder, Stewart Snyder, Stuart Snyder. He owns Casa
Mexico and has a 5 year history of conducting Real Estate Rental Scams, Fraud
and Grand Theft as defined by law. He continues to run from Cabo to Puerto
Vallarta and now he is hiding in Ajijic - Chapala Mexico near Guadalajara,
Mexico. He is a Professional Con Artist and
major Real Estate Scammer which is why he has taken up refuge in Mexico.
He rips people off through a number of companies, World Class Luxury,
www.caamexicorealestate.com www.1st.co and www.callcenteramericas.com. He runs
with a dangerous crowd, so please be concerned for your safety. I wouldn't
approach him without law enforcement with you just to ensure he doesn't harm
you or your loved ones. You can google him and find everything he has done to
so many victims that exceed $185,000 that I know of anyway with just a small
group of victims that have all kept in touch. Right now there is an
international investigation going on with him and his employees to see the
depth of fraud and corruption they are all involved in. I am in talks with the
F.B.I. as we speak, now that I found him again, but as a Christian my greatest
concern is that he doesn't steal from any other victims with his bogus rental
and real estate operation. BUYERS BEWARE so you are not his next victim or as
he called him "a sucker" as he laughed and hung up on me while
leaving me and my family completely homeless in Mexico during high season! He
will have lots of fake people saying its not true on this site as I have seen
him do on other sites. He is the master at deception. Please don't let him make
you his next victim and next laugh.

How can this company keep paying such a large dividend with negative earnings? I own a few shares and am wondering if it's a smart move to buy more, but I don't understand this negative earnings high dividend equation.
How can you say the underground storage didnt make any money? Any one who works or should i say worked with fna knows that no matter what the cost of all the regulations storage made money hand over fist! I cant even begin to tell you how we are underpaid (compared to the rest of the imdustry) but we put out more gallons/barrls a day than what any retail facility ever thought about......i guess the press release said it all.....non stratgic assests.....well when a man can aquire something in an aquistion and make something a round $140 million...guess what? We as awhole are stratgic too some people. But i do have to give credit to all of the effected former employees...you were the back bone! Good job well done!
plainspoken wrote "I guess I just dont see how cost savings and streamlining can be seen as a negative."
Here is what plainspoken is not telling you.
As part of these cost savings and streamlining, they do not have the personnel now to be able to do the basic work.
- Customer tanks are not getting painted, and in many cases nasty-looking tanks are being set for new customers.
- There are literally thousands upon thousands of tanks at customer homes that need to be picked up as a result of losing customers. Soem of these tanks have been at the customer's home for years waiting for pickup.
- Trucks are not being fixed for the most part and certainly not painted. So much for customer image.
- No new trucks are being bought anymore to replace the junkers.
- Very little service work is getting done anymore because of a lack of time, money and experienced people, and as a result problems found on customer installations are either not fixed or ignored.
- Many safety programs have been done away with and a majority of safety managers terminated.
- Many forklift cylinders are not being fixed and are just recycled back into the mix.
This is just a few examples and I think these could all be seen as negatives. Is this any way to run things? Will these services come back when FG gets healthy? And in the mean time how many customers will be lost and how bad will FG's reputation get in the propane world? Investors need to know ow thinhgs are being run and if we are really on the right path. Tell me if I am wrong, plainspoken.
Propanesmart I completely agree with your observations. I am one of the mud and snow slogging gas pumpers that is keeping my mouth shut to keep food on the table. Jobs are pretty scarce in my area, and I've seen alot of good, loyal employees leave either voluntarily or otherwise. At this point, I'm not sure where we are headed or how long I'll be working. I know that FGP stock is coveted for the dividend, but I hope the folks on the message board that berate the concerned employees would think before they post. I believe that if they were in "our" shoes, they would act a little differently.
By the way, I suspect Jim is in fact listening but has a hard time reconciling comments made on this board with those he hears from his VPs and managers. Troops on the ground look pretty fuzzy from 50,000 feet. All in all, I respect Jim. It's his henchmen that should be regarded as shady.
Check your facts. 401k match was reinstated 8/1/2005. Last time I checked, 4 days didn't come close to being months.
That's an easy one. The tools are all there but the implimentation of those tools by current leadership is very poor. The timing of some of the cuts have caused serious operational issues. I don't disagree with some of the cuts and right sizing the business but Area/Regional Managers have gone too far in an effort to look good to Jim and their respective VPs. They feel that if they cut harder and deeper than their peers then they are seen as strong leaders. The truth is that they are too gutless to stand up and tell it like it is. What a shame.
propanebabbler....I like what you are saying and agree with most of your comments, but if the new system works, why would the employees need to speak up and give their opinions??? When they speak up or challange the system, they then become a target and are soon a formerFGemployee! (By the way, Jim hears us....but he is simply not listening!)
Let's be honest about this. The technology side of Project Renaissance works, it's the leadership that sucks right now. I don't care how good your new computer system and business model is, if you don't have managers with people skills then you will not be as good as you could be. Are there some good managers at FG? Absolutely. Are there some pompous, arrogant, intimidating managers without an upper lip at FG? You better believe it. The employees are scared and have learned that the quickest way to be shown the door is to have an idea or to challenge the methods used. We used to have a system whereby we listened to the employees who believe it or not had some good ideas. They weren't afraid to speak up and good managers weren't afraid to be challenged; in fact, it made them better managers and their employees respected them for it. Now we don't give a damn about the employees, their opinions, or whether they stay or leave. If they don't like it they can hit the road and we'll find someone that we can pay even lower wages to sit in the seat until winter is over and then we'll RIF them as well. Area Managers, or rather Regional Managers as they are now called, come into a Service Center, say everything looks great, leave by noon and you won't see them again for a month or more. They give us bogus sales pitches about how we're going to have realistic budgets (because we never have before) and how easily we'll be able to grow our business (Hi, I'm from FG and I've got a bunch of really high priced gas, want some?? Yeah, that one has worked great for us!) The sad thing is that the system could really be first class but until we get the guys who look good in suits but suck as managers gone FG will continue it's slow downward spiral. Are you listening Jim?
Very well put propanesmart.....you obviously were around FG long enough to see things go from good to bad to awful in just a short period of time. I was once told by a Project Renassiance administrator "just shut up and go haul gas". Before Project Renaissance, most days drivers would deliver 4,000 to 5,000 gallons per day and drive 50 to 75 miles. After Project Renaissance, our gallons dropped to 3,000 per day and miles increased to 125 to 150 miles per day, sometimes more. We would go past numerous customers and not stop by because the mobile device did not have that customer in for a delivery only to go right back there the next day and make a delivery of 300 gallons or more. Whenever a driver would question why are things being done this way, they would be threatened with their job....many are now gone. Those who remain still work under the threat of "shut up or be terminated". Plainspoken is a former area manager, now a VP, who watches this board to be certain his creation, Project Renassiance, doesn't take too many hits. He forgets, however, that VPs have short lives with FG and he should stop worrying about this message board and he should start listening to people who are being honest with him about Project Renassiance. Terminating employees and closing offices and starting up Econogas won't fix the problems. Good people fix problems.....but now it may be too late for FG.
Plainespoken, if you think the employees are happy you are sadly mistaken. Employees were threatened with termination and told not to ask questions when senior managment would come around for visits. Anyone challenging policies or the new business model, even to try to make things better, was terminated, especially at the beginning. Eventually, many of those terminated were found to be right and things were changed, but it was too late for those good people that lost their jobs. And for those investors that thing that the whiners and moaners needed to go, well, there were many good people that kept their mouths shut, were extremely dedicated and loyal to the company, and were willing to change that were let go only because of the quotas to get rid of people.
Currently, employees are still faced with "management by intimidation". Senior management does not have the true story of how the "underlings" feel, but much of that is because there has been such an "elitist" and "bullying" society built at FG over the past few years by the young financial wizards who come in for a few years, try to make their mark, change the internal culture to reflect whatever leadership book was passed out at the annual meeting, and then are let go by Ferrell after 3-4 years. In the mean time, the people that are slogging through the snow and mud to make the money for the company suffer. They see confusion, the highest prices in the industry, lack of training, inept managers that no nothing about the propane business, a de-emphasis on serving the customer, having to drive trucks with problems that can't be fixed (especially bad when they see the company spend millions on a new corporate office for the sake of vanity), benefits taken away, computer systems that give inaccurate data, a general lack of concern from management about safety, and a senior management team that doesn't even follow the company's own leadership book (Plain Spoken Leadership). In short, the neither trust or respect the management of FG but they keep pumping the gas and making the money for them anyway.
Some would say that if things are that bad why don't you just go find another job, but jobs just aren't that plentiful in many rural areas and most of us would rather make a deal with the devil to feed our families. Plus, we keep hoping that someone in the executive management will finally see the light and change things for the better (it sure isn't the current leadership, or lack thereof). If you think they are changing for the better with regards to the employees and customers, you are mistaken.

The principal activity of PAP/RAC is Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) in the Mediterranean. It is a continuous, proactive and adaptive process of resource management for sustainable development in coastal areas. PAP/RAC with support of other MAP components provides technical assistance, guidelines, and methodologies for the practical delivery of ICZM in the Mediterranean.
Coastal Area Management Programme (CAMP) is oriented at the implementation of practical coastal management projects in selected Mediterranean coastal areas, applying the Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) as a major tool.
|On going
|In preparation
|CAMP Italy
|CAMP France
The ICZM Protocol was signed in Madrid, on 21 January 2008. To date, nine countries and the EU have ratified it. Consequently, on 24 March 2011, the Protocol entered into force.
On the occasion of the CoP 17, held in Paris from 8 to 10 February 2012, the Action Plan for the implementation of the Protocol 2012-2019 was adopted by the Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention.
The CoP 18 (Istanbul, 3 to 6 December 2013) adopted the institutional and legal sections of the Reporting Format for the ICZM Protocol. The Parties are convinced that this Protocol represents a crucial step in the history of MAP. It will allow the countries to better manage their coastal zones, as well as to deal with the emerging coastal environmental challenges, such as the climate change.

I bought this tank for topping off my tires at autocross. I would give it 5 stars if it included a quick disconnect instead of a single-purpose chuck. I have not attempted to use the included hose at all. Instead I also bought a short air hose and a quick disconnect for use with an normal automotive chuck or whatever else I want. The manifold on this tank has a female 1/4" NPT connection for the hose, so it is easy to find a compatible air hose. If you choose to use the included hose, its fitting comes pre-wrapped in Teflon tape.The other thing I have not done with this tank is use the Schrader stem to charge it, though it is nice to know that I have that option if I ever have to charge at a gas station. I built an adapter to hook the tank to the quick disconnect on my air compressor so I can just start charging it and walk away. I put another quick disconnect on my adapter so I can use the tank for extra storage alongside my small air compressor when using larger air tools.My tank was leak-free out of the box. I charged it to 130 PSI (the max my compressor will deliver) and with the shutoff valve closed, it only lost a couple of PSI overnight, probably due to the air cooling more than anything else. The pressure gauge is in close agreement with the two on my air compressor. Although the specs say the tank is rated for 160 PSI, I noticed that the manifold has 140 PSI stamped on it. At 130 PSI I've not had the safety valve pop like some others have reported, but I suspect the full 160 PSI is unattainable if you keep the stock safety valve. I wouldn't plug the safety valve because if there is a fire, I want the tank to vent instead of rupture.Overall, this is a useful, versatile, and lightweight tank if you're willing to spend a little more money to replace the stock air hose.

Read the reviews (very helpful) called store 00215 which is 151 Franklin Mills Blvd, Philadelphia 19154. The air tank with the better blue silicone hose was on display. Made the purchase of a sealed box. Went outside and opened it and found the worthless cloth dark hose in box. Went right back in and explained everything to "Sandra" the manager. She claimed that the blue silicone hose was an old defective hose and no longer available on the display. I said okay can you just simply allow me to have the display in exchange and she said "no". She claimed that she had received information from the manufacturer that the blue silicone hoses (the better ones) are defective and beyond her statement provided nothing to support what she said. Sandra did print the reviews that I had told her about but zero about defective hoses or a recall of any sort. I would think that if a high pressure hose was considered defective that a recall or some sort of notification would be made public due to liability. Anyone get anything about that? Actually another employee told me exactly the opposite and said the dark hoses were a lesser quality. Brought it home and the dark cloth hose is really junk as everyone suspected. Leaks hard to seal etc. I contacted customer service and will hear from the district manger, that is what I was told. This WAS a great deal but now has become a great deal of screwing around for no good reason. Typical Harbor freight tools service.Had to edit my review because I wrote the hose was a specific color and needed to change it to "dark" instead. Now I am going to type "white" and lets see if the review posts.

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Central Pneumatic 7 gal. Portable Aluminum Air Tank:
Only aluminum air tank I could find..well built, light weight. I did have to remove all fittings & gauge & wrap threads with teflon tape before it would hold air, but once done...great. Has been holding 115 psi for several days now.Feedback to HF: This unit should come with teflon-sealed threads from the factory.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pressurized to 60 psi three days ago. Still holding pressure. Will it hold pressure after extended use? Don't know. Good so far.

love the low weight
By RonH
from Lakewood, CO
For 25yrs I've been lugging around a 22 pound steel tank. This weight about 7 pounds. What a difference. As others have said, don't use the hose that comes with it, add a compression fitting, a good hose and the tank is wonderful.

Works great for my needs ...
By Doug
I've had this tank for over a year, mainly using it to keep the cars' tires properly inflated and ... like another reviewer ... to fill my race tires at the drag strip and road course. I even used it to winterize my sprinkler system (even though I had to fill it 3 times do do so ), putting another hose on it with a quick disconnect fitting. You'll love its light weight, too. Good tip by a previous reviewer to plug the relief valve, if you need more than 120 psi ... but JUST MAKE SURE you do NOT exceed the recommended max pressure!

Very Good Air Tank and Light Weight!!
By Tooltrader
I have had this for a few months now and it is a GREAT air tank. I put some rubber "feet" on it so it stays put on a painted garage floor. I also use the HF 25 foot coiled hose on it. I put a quick disconnect air line on the tank manifold so I can actually use air tools for a short while (on a small job) with it without having to haul my air compressor around. I also put a new 200 psi air gauge on it so I can pressurise the tank to 150 psi off my compressor. I had to put a plug (1/8 NPT) in the pressure relief valve slot because the relief valve was popping off at 120 PSI. There is no need to have a pressure relief valve on an air tank since you fill it up manually. At 150 psi pressure (the tank is certified for 160 PSI and a max of 200 PSI) it will run an air tool for quite a while. I can use an impact wrench to take off all my lug nuts off my truck and not have to refill the tank. It is also VERY light at just under 10 pounds. This makes it very portable and easy to work with. I am very happy with this air tank.
nice air tank
By Scott
from Texas
This is a nice and very light weight air tank. The only problem was with the supplied air chuck. It came with a locking style air chuck (which didn't work) instead of the "ball style" shown on the box.Had to get a replacement hose and air chuck and it works great. Would have given it 5 stars ifnot for that.

THOMASVILLE, GA – November 4, 2010 – Country Oaks Golf Course is changing its operating hours. Beginning on November 8, 2010 Country Oaks Golf Course will be closed on Mondays. COGC will still operate under normal business hours each week, Tuesday through Sunday.
In effort to provide the best service possible, Mondays will now be utilized for greens-keeping efforts and maintenance to the course's facilities. Billy Fuller, former golf course superintendent of the Augusta National Golf Club, was brought in as an expert consultant. After Mr. Fuller conducted a thorough analysis, Country Oaks staff considered his findings and concluded that both the course and most importantly its customers would greatly benefit from increased course maintenance time.
"We are always striving to find ways in which we can offer the best service and experience to our customers", said PGA Professional Mike Owens. "With an entire day each week reserved for maintenance on the course, we hope to be able to give our players the best possible playing conditions."
Country Oaks is located just 4 miles from historic Thomasville, Georgia on Highway 122 (Pavo Road). The course is owned and operated by the City of Thomasville for the pleasure of residents and visitors alike. For more information on Country Oaks Golf Course please call 229-225-4333 or visit www.countryoaksgolfcourse.org .

26 weeks and he moves my entire tummy and bumps stuff that I rest on my belly, everytime he does it I look around suspicious hah.
I'm at work on lunch and it just happened! Anybody else feel the awkward feeling about it too? Hahah
Oh god, I was being saracastic.
It doesn't make me feel "insecure" hahaha. It makes me feel awkward!
Exactly! Not that I care, but I'm just sitting there like "I wonder if anybody saw that..." hahah.
The only thing that is awkward about it is when she startles me with a big kick and I gasp. To onlookers I probably look nuts
together 2003, married 2010, baby 2014 & expecting
Yesterday at my appt the baby kicked the doppler as soon as the dr put it on my belly. Like hard trying to kick it off and kept kicking - my dr gave me a crazy side eye look & said she's fiesty. I thought it was funny as hell. She never kicks like that. My son is so chill, I have a feeling she's going to be the exact opposite.

The lowest prices are always reported first. So, when people search for gas stations in their area, Fastrak station in NE Portland or Milwukie always come up on top.
The prices are only valid for cash payment. When you actually show up, the credit card pricing can be as much as 25 cents per gallon higher.
It's not uncommon for stations to charge 5-10 cents higher, but Fastrak is the only station that has a higher price gap than anyone else in the metropolitan area to bait customers with cash prices and sting them with outrageous credit prices after they've already driven there.
Conveniently, it appears they make every effort to hide credit prices from gasbuddy so drivers can't see what they're getting into.
I feel that this station is using cash prices to attract customers and milking those who pay card.
Charging 15 o 25 cents a gallon more, depending on the day, when nobody else in the area charge moe than 10 cents a gallon more is an indicator of the outrageousness.

They have a big sign advertising the cash price as you would usually see it, right underneath is a sign, if one can read you will see this sign says in big bold letter "CREDIT PRICE" and lists the price if you use a credit card. Then another flip sign like the credit sign says "CASH/DEBIT", right next to the bold letters lists the fee if you use you 'debit card' ***inside*** also right under the price of gas on the big sign shows the debit fee again. When you pull up to the pump every pump has the price of the debit fee again, an when you go pay right on the card machine it shows, once again the price of the debit fee.
So all-in-all if you can read clearly and look around when you get to the gas station and stop ASSUMING you will see that they clearly list any fee/price difference. They are not the only gas station that do it either, there are about 5 fuel stations in our area that do a separate cash price and also have a fee associated with certain types of cards. So please people use the side of the brain that for some reason you turn off when you pull up to the pump!
Also want to include: There is a very easy way to avoid different prices/fees for different payment methods, carry CASH and pay with CASH at ANY gas station you go to and stop complaining about your own mistakes and not being able to read and possibly punishing the independent mom and pop gas stations. All they are trying to do is feed their family like anyone else and btw they get charged differently from the bank on their processing for different cards. So if you make a rip-off report make it about the bank
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?

TN Ban Turns A Boon For Vijay's Thalaivaa At Bangalore Box Office!
Tamil star Illayathalapathy Vijay is experiencing a never-before difficult situation in his two-decade career. The actor's Kollywood movie Thalaivaa has not been released at his home, but has hit the screens worldwide. It had happened to Universal Star Kamal Hassan's Vishwaroopam earlier this year when the state government had banned it fearing a communal clash.
Thalaivaa was released worldwide on August 9 sans Tamil Nadu. The unofficial ban irked the fans of Vijay. There were many online campaigns done by his fans, but nothing has helped the film as it has not been released yet.
His fans were hoping that Thalaivaa would at least release for the Independence Day (August 15), but they were disappointed again as the film could not see the light of day. As a result, the Tamil film is heading for a huge loss at the Box Office.
The only silver line in the entire episode is that Thalaivaa has received a thunderous response at International Box Office and in the neighbouring states. More importantly, the film has got wonderful response in the Bangalore and Kerala Box Office.
As we reported earlier, fans of Vijay who could not wait for the release of Thalaivaa in Tamil Nadu, are travelling to other states to watch the film. Continue reading the story on the slideshow...

I have wired my surround sound in my closet about 15 feet from my plasma TV (HD Ready) and am trying to run just one component line from receiver in the closet to the Plasma TV. I have no problem with hooking up my DVD player through my Audio Receiver, but my receiver does not convert the composite signal to component for my Dish PVR. I have heard of receivers that upconvert the signal, but do they upconvert to component or just s-video? I don't want to buy a new HD receiver because I am still in contract on the Dish PVR I have, are there any other solutions? I bought a cheap switchbox that has component ins and outs, but the box doesn't convert the signal to component out. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
