Hello Everyone
I thought i would share the address of places I was able to get bento equipment from while we were in Hong Kong
I LOVE CAKE - http://www.ilovecake.hk/site/page000.aspx
If you like to bake, decorate or bento, ANYTHING Asian or western. Go here.
They have baking ingredients, cake holders, piping equipment, gift wrapping. compound chocolate, food colourings, silicon moulds, baking tins, stainless steel cutters... and a good selection of Bento Cutters. But no bento boxes!
They also have a discount card, if you spend over a certain amount you become a member and all purchases will be discounted upon production of a card. Next door, is a catering store that holds every type of baking tray known on earth, and pots big enough to cook a pig. Whole. They are operated by the same people, so the discount card applies here too :D
I picked up sandwich pressers, plastic cutters (replace the metal ones), Doremon and Hello Kitty silicon baking moulds, and a baking sheet all for about $100AUD. The Baking sheet to purchase in Australia is $170 alone!
Fa Yeun Gai (Flower Garden Street) Mong Kok
This was by luck. I was looking for baby clothes for a friend, but found all the toy shops stock some sort of bento stuff. But you need to go behind the market stalls to the shops. Fa Yeun Gai, runs parallel to Ladies Market, But this is the street Market for the HK Locals. The outdoor stalls sell clothes, veggie peelers, fruit and everything else. And the shops behind sell an assortment of warehouse clothing, and hair accessories. There are a few cutesy toy shops which is where I found a doremon nori punch for 180 hkd which is 25AUD. Some small onigiri holders, and the cutest pink heart shaped little bento box! which I plan to use to give Husband's bento next week!
rolling them over, one onigiri at a time.

Author: Amy Date: 18-11-08 11:39 Hi, my son is 6 yrs and is in year 1, the school have just suggested that he is accelerated to the next year into year 3. I dont know what to do! He isn't very mature for his age and his social skills are poor, i am afraid that if i acccelerate him he may fall behind or suffer socially. Please i would like to know if anyone has accelerated their child, and where you could give your opinion on acceleation. thanks amy Reply To This Message Re: Acceleration!!! Author: Joanne Date: 18-11-08 20:45 Hi Amy I don't think I would have been happy with my 6 yo daughter being fully accelerated due to a few temperament/behavioural issues that i think older kids would have been less tolerant of than younger ones. What our school has done, and it's worked really well, is to put her in with year 3 and 4s for the part of the day that focuses on "literacy and enquiry", and then back with her age peers for the second half of the day. This has worked very well, both academically and socially, but it's a small school that is able to be quite flexible. Having said that I don't see why bigger schools couldn't work it out. Talk to the principal, explain your concerns, and ask how they would support him socially. If you're not happy with how they're approaching it, listen to your instincts. If you thiknk there might be some merit in trying it, then ask if it could be done for a trial period and then reviewed (you as part of this process of course as well as the staff). my five cents worth : ) Reply To This Message Re: Acceleration!!! Author: 3boysmum Date: 19-11-08 21:58 Hi Amy, With my son we did the split day thing where he went to a yr4 class for reading and maths and spent the rest of the day with his yr2 class (except for time in extension topic classes). This did work, but the following year he moved straight into a y4 class and socially being in the one class was far better for him, even though many in the class are nearly 2 years older (he was only 6 1/2 when he went to y4 full time). When accompanying the class on trips there was no obvious social difference - the other kids also seem just as young and silly! Reply To This Message Re: Acceleration!!! Author: Amy Date: 19-11-08 22:26 Thanks for your words of advice :) i was wondering 3boysmum how you son was emotionally and socailly with the older children? also my son has real low motivation when it comes to topics he dosnt know or is not interested in! i was thinking that maybe his motivation might improve if accelerated, but i am not sure!!!! My son is not gifted in maths but is at the top of his year level, One of his teacher thinks that if he is accelerated then he might fall behind in the areas he is not gifted in? what do you think? anyone? Reply To This Message Re: Acceleration!!! Author: Sue Date: 20-11-08 09:36 Hi, Amy. Generally, gifted children who are allowed to develop their talents in their talent area, eg maths, language, reading, music, ICT, do not fall behind in other areas. The plus side of talent development is that it increases children's self-efficacy, self-esteem, and motivation, and these benefits see raised achievement in other areas too. While I understand where his teacher is coming from, ie a deficit model, this way of thinking is not appropriate for gifted children. With gifted children, working with their strengths rather than their weaknesses is the best way to increase motivation and achievement across the board. A good example of this can be seen with children who attend ODS and GKP - they spend a whole day each week out of their regular classroom, yet it is rare for these kids to fall behind in their achievement at regular school. That one day a week they are out of school, they are mostly learning at an accelerated rate in all sorts of knowledge and skill areas, and will often being working in their talent area for at least some part of the day. Cheers Sue Reply To This Message Re: Acceleration!!! Author: Carolyn Date: 20-11-08 14:33 Hi there I have 2 gifted kids. My daughter now aged 10 skipped Year 1 and spent 1 term at school before moving straight up to a Year 2 class the following year. This worked really well for her as there were kids in ths class she knew from kindy. Also being tall she fitted in physically and has had no problems even now just ready to head off to Intermediate next year aged just turned 10. On the other hand my son, almost 7 is completely different. He went from a Year 1 class in the first 2 terms of last year to a Year 2 class halfway through the year. Although it worked well for him with his learning he struggled to fit into the class socially. The boys were all about a year older and physically much bigger, stronger and "tougher". This year he has been in a Year 3/4 composite class where he working at the top end. This has worked really well for him socially. Learning wise we have decided to just let him enjoy the year rather than push him (or ask the school to push him). He has really enjoyed the year. Not sure yet what the plans are for next year. Must head down to the school to check that out. Ideally there will be a composite Year 3/4 but that always depends on class numbers. But I think this year has given him confidence in the classroom and he would cope much better moving up a class now. Not sure whether this has helped you!! It's a tricky decision isn't it? Does the school have composite classes at all? Reply To This Message Re: Acceleration!!! Author: Rachel Date: 20-11-08 18:59 My son is 5 and this is coming up. He has Aspergers so is socially behind but my attitude is that self esteem is the best thing I can help him obtain so if he is placed appropriately academically that is better for him as he is always going to have social issues. We are lucky at our school as it is small and all classes are composite. He will move next year into a Y1/2 class and although the children being moved with him will be mostly Y1, he will be classed as Y2. The NE/Y1 class already mingles with this class so he has been working with the current Y2 in reading anyway so I feel it should work out. Reply To This Message Re: Acceleration!!! Author: Amy Date: 20-11-08 21:07 Hay yes the school does have composite classes but unforturatly next year it will not be any 2/3 class only 1/2 and 3/4 so he will not be with anyone from his previous year level. Its a shame!!! This decision is one of the hardest decisions aye. I talk to the school about a trial period for next year, but they said they will not so that, if he more up he will have to stay there for the rest of the year!!! i this has made it hard, because a trial period would be good to establish if the acceleration would be good for him. My main worry at the moment is how he would fit in socially with the children, who would be a year older, he would be 3 months younger than the youngest child. thanks for sharing your ideas :) Reply To This Message Re: Acceleration!!! Author: Floss Date: 21-11-08 08:30 In your place, I would ask the school (and myself) some questions, especially: If you decide against the acceleration, what will they do for him instead? In other words, is acceleration the only option the school is offering for meeting your son's needs? Our current school (considered a "best practice" school for GATE issues by the Min of Ed, for what that's worth) strongly believes in "taking the work to the child rather than taking the child to the work". It helps that it is a big school with enough bright & very bright kids to be able to cluster them in classes together. But we used to live on the other side of the world, in a school system where acceleration was indeed the only way of meeting kids' learning needs. Our younger daughter was offered the equivalent of your son's skip into yr 3, and we took it. We knew (because our older one had suffered through it) just how little she would be learning without the skip. She was 3 months younger than the next youngest in the class, and because this was a system in which kids can be held back a year, at least one of the kids in the class was nearly 2 years older even though it wasn't a composite class. But she knew a lot of the kids from kindy, and was physically a match for them. It also helped that the teacher whose class she went into was very welcoming & supportive. My daughter enjoyed her time in that class - by middle of the first term she was playing with the kids from the new class rather than her old friends, and was talking about how she'd like to skip another year too ... So - a couple more questions for you to ponder. Is your son likely to find PE, art etc a strain with the older kids? Does he have friends who will still play with him even if he's not in their class? How does he feel about the skip himself? (Our daughter was wildly enthusiastic). How often does the school accelerate kids? How does the teacher he would be going to feel about it? You mentioned concerns about his maturity, but is that your assessment or the school's? (they see a much wider range of 6-yr-old behaviour than you do, I'm guessing). I hope things work out for you & your son. Floss Reply To This Message Re: Acceleration!!! Author: linda and Derek Wiseman Date: 21-11-08 22:15 Hi, Amy, Just phone us or email at any time. We went throgh exactly the same questions and issues when our son, now 12 began primary after 3 years at a Montessori pre-school. He was 'accelerated', and ...... We'd love to tell you how we coped and our contiuing on-going struggle. There is no ONE CORRECT solution. You have to hear your child and do your homework with respect to schools. Then, you have to be persuasive in what you want for your child because of his differing needs. Do get in touch with me or Derek on 021 783 058 at any time. Good luck with your responses. Cheers, Linda Wiseman Reply To This Message Re: Acceleration!!! Author: 3boysmum Date: 22-11-08 13:37 Hi Amy, As I mentioned the complete accelerated year has been the best for my son socially and emotionally as he has been able to form better friendships and have children to play with at break times, not arrive back at class as the others are leaving. He still has issues about losing and feeling things very deeply, but I don't think this because he is immature, but it is rather a part of his personality. It was a little strange to have him turn 7 (his birthday is the end of June, making him one of the youngest in year 3 if he had stayed there) and then receive a party invitation for someone turning 9 in his class (but the real positive is he received an invitation!). I have to say that the school pointed out that the acceleration was open to discussion and review throughout the year, and find it strange that a school would not be open to moving children through the year if there needs required it. Reply To This Message Re: Acceleration!!! Author: Annette Date: 01-12-08 09:21 Talking of older children. My son skipped Year 10 and yr 10 & 11 in Physics and was soo.. happy and motivated that is was unbelievable. He found friends with things in common with him which is not age reliant although at his school there are all sorts of ages doing all sorts of subjects so they don't even think about it. He is now skipping Year 13 as well as off to Uni at just 16! We feel confident that if we provide background support he will cope and his friendships will be in various ages anyway. As an adult I have friends in a 35 year age band!! I think he should have been accelerated earlier as it would have helped. It's an individual thing. Not right for all but I think more often than not. Remember schools will usually talk you out of it as it makes their administration difficult! Reply To This Message Re: Acceleration!!! Author: BlueSky Date: 01-12-08 11:39 Hello Amy, I'd say go with your gut feeling on this one. Also remember that sometimes children might seem 'behind' in some subjects but the child could be bored, and therefore doesn't put in the effort to give correct answers. It was thought by the teacher that my daughter was struggling with maths, but this was far from the truth based on the little maths work done at home. I think my daughter was frustrated by the simplicity and repetition of the maths in her class and her brain switched off to it. I think the fact the school wants your son accelerated might be a good thing. If they're not willing to let him go back into a year 2 class if the year 3 class doesn't work out, then are they going to support him through a possibly tough year? Or are you able to move schools/home school? You know your child best, and I think it would pay for you to think very carefully from all angles - then hopefully you can make a decision you are confident about. One thing I've noticed with my 6 year old daughter is that when around children her age, it seems almost as though she becomes a caricature of what she believes children her age are like. She doesn't misbehave, but she acts like a total 'monkey' sometimes... then when she's not with her friends, she switches back to 'normal'. So check with your son... does he act 'immature' around friends his age, or in general, at home? More and more, my daughter has stopped behaving like the 'monkey' and has started to show some frustration with her 'age peers'. So, something to think about. Children are very complex beings! Check in which context they display certain behaviours. I wish you and your son all the best for next year. Reply To This Message Re: Acceleration!!! Author: BlueSky Date: 01-12-08 12:00 I forgot to say - have you seen how your son acts with children older than him? That's important to take note of. Maybe his maturity easily 'rises' to their level. Reply To This Message Re: Acceleration!!! Author: Amy Date: 01-12-08 17:57 Hey, yes yes your right!!! Myson does only tend to act very silly and immature around children his own age!!! and then is very mature at home and with others older. Their are times of course that he is silly but i just put that down to overexcitabilities, which i read are very common in gifted children. He does seem carmer with children not his age. Although He does become silly when he is nervours, especially in social situations, I hope this doesn't happen if he is accelerated. Thanks everyone for your advice :) I am almost at my decision!! I have tell the school this week!! The school is very keen to accelerate him, i take it that it is a good thing. I heard from someone that some schools only accelerate because they dont know what else to do with them (gifted children).

Wednesday, May 22, 2013
Chicago Campus
The ISE's Social Exclusion Simulation (SES) is a role-play exercise that allows participants to see the ways in which society's systemic and structural barriers produce social exclusion for certain groups of people. The SES simulates social exclusion processes by replicating the experiences of formerly incarcerated women attempting to re-enter society following their release from prison. Participants have reported that important goals have been powerfully met: understanding of what structural and systemic barriers are and how they work to undermine opportunity and access; appreciation of practical limits of personal responsibility, agency, and choice; motivation to adopt attitudinal and behavioral changes in pursuit of social change; and empathy for marginalized groups in general. If you are an Adler PsyD student and you elect to exercise your right not to participate in the simulation, you may do so without any penalty.

Hello and thank you for viewing my post!
I am looking to recruit mature players (preferably 18+) for a Guild Wars 2 guild entitled the Council of Valhalla on the server Jade Quarry. Our guild is casual in the sense that we will not be hardcore nerdraging if you aren't on 24/7. We have been in existence since the very first day of Guild Wars 2 release, and have roughly 15-25 main, dedicated members. If you can play only a couple times a week, not a problem! We are run by a husband and wife [me!] team, and our majority play on the eastern time zone. We are not picky about professions or crafting specialties - we welcome all. We use Ventrilo for communication in WvW, PvP, or various dungeons. You can contact me, Fyctional.6710 [Sydney Trubourne] or my husband, aegris.6473 [Sköll Wolfsbane] for further information.
Thank you again, and see you all in the world of Tyria!

Wednesday, February 15, 2012
Alan Butler : Backdoor QE3 already started
James Turk : Gold still Underowned & Undervalued
GoldSeek Radio's Chris Waltzek talks to JAMES TURK - Feb 2, 2012 James Turk, founder of the GoldMoney Foundation talks about the recent correction in the price of gold from all time nominal highs of 1.923$ per troy ounce and discusses the implications. He points out that there hasn't been a 20% drop in the price of gold since 2008. James explains that these periodic liquidations are a normal part of gold's bull market. He then talks about the fundamentals and discusses gold's safe haven status. He talks about how gold suffers in a liquidity event because of the rush to cash and the need to realize profit, while outperforming all other assets. James Turk recommends seeing gold as a form of savings and accumulating while its undervalued, since the trend will go much higher, rather than attempting to trade it. He also discusses Lehman, Greece, Dexia and other significant market events.

David Morgan : The rush to commodities...
Marc Faber : With money-printing, you never know what sector of the economy will be inflated
"Ten years ago we had relatively low inflation in the Western world. Now, with interest rates at zero, we have high asset valuations. Asset prices have gone ballistic in stamps, modern art, wine, you name it. Gold, silver, other commodities, equities in emerging markets, high-end real estate -- all have done well. When assets become like cash, it may be safer to hold your money in the bank. If asset prices collapse, you'll be better off in Treasury bills with zero yields. Then the central banks will print money and bail you out. At least you'll get your principal back. With money-printing, you never know what sector of the economy will be inflated. Maybe we have had profit inflation and there will be a severe correction. I don't expect corporate profits in the U.S. to collapse by more than 20% in the next 12 months."

Peter Schiff : buy Gold the demise of the Dollar is imminent
Peter Schiff – interviewed by this week in money (14 January 2012 ) about where he sees the US dollar going " the dollar is not strong , it certainly has been less weak than the Euro recently , but both currencies are weak , gold tells you that , the price of gold is up not at a record yet but the trend is clear in the upward direction so I think both the dollar and the Euro are losing value currently the euro is losing it a little bit faster than the dollar , but I think in the long term the problems in the US are actually larger and more severe than the problems in Europe and I think are more dangerous to blow up in the short run so I think that the people are exaggerating the demise of the Euro not focusing on the more imminent demise of the dollar and in the process they are buying some extra time for the dollar because a lot of this European flight money is going into the US treasuries and that's allowing the US government to stimulate the economy more and the stimulus is the problem it is like a toxic drug and the more government stimulus we get the more sicker the real economy becomes "

The tree is trimmed, the stockings hung, the holiday cards have been signed, sealed and dropped in the mailbox – but for me, none of it managed to jumpstart the old Christmas spirit like spending two hours in the dark with Paul Morella.
That's because Morella's performance of the Charles Dickens classic "A Christmas Carol" at the Olney Theatre taps deep into the well of the holiday and its meaning, using Dickens' glittering prose and his own considerable charm to breathe life into an oft-told tale.
At the start of the show Morella, who presides over the Mulitz-Gudelsky Theatre Lab taking tickets and chatting with theatergoers, asks the audience to see him not as an actor on a stage but as storyteller, a fellow guest at a dinner party, a raconteur of a ghost story the like of which they've never heard. And even though most people might figure they've heard (or read or seen) "A Christmas Carol" more times than they'd care to remember, this is the guy who has showed up prepared to make every word fresh and new.
My 11-year-old theater-loving son was incredulous when I told him beforehand that there would be no cast, no curtain, no musical numbers or special effects. Walking through the Olney Theatre campus pre-show he stole a glance in the direction of the Mainstage, where kids his age were engrossed in "Cinderella." He paused at the Historic Theatre, where "The Nutcracker" promised an epic battle to defeat the Mouse King and his Army. But once inside the black-boxy lab, where the London fog was already curling around the simple set, he started reading Morella's program notes, took to heart the invitation to take part and express emotion freely, and let himself get caught in the actor's net and carried along for the ride.
And what a ride! This is Morella's third season with the show, which he adapted straight from Dickens' 1843 novella, so every word he speaks is one that dropped from the pen of the master. Not unlike Spielberg's "Lincoln," the words weave a spell that is potent and compelling, drawing the listener with their sparkling perfection. It's Morella, though, who manages to embody all of Dickens' perfectly drawn characters from Jacob Marley to Old Fezziwig to Tiny Tim. He captures Mrs. Cratchit's plum pudding pride and the endless affability of Fred Scrooge; he brings dark bedchambers and dreary city streets to life. Morella's ghosts are scary, his ladies are gigglers, and his Scrooge has a humanity that keeps the audience on his side just a little even before his glorious transformation takes place.
Most people know the story of Scrooge, whether they've read the Dickens classic or not. But here it is delivered not as the tale of a miser-gone-good but as a hard-boiled human who has wasted his chances and sabotaged his happiness and gets a sudden, scary wake-up call. Morella makes Scrooge Everyman, and he renders Dickens relatable: a brilliant man who never forgot the lessons of poverty and despair, a guy who used his considerable gifts to make the world a better place for the ranks of impoverished children and their families because he knew exactly what it felt like to be hungry and hopeless and cold.
Morella says "A Christmas Carol" is at its heart a ghost story, and in a sense that's true. But it's also a story of redemption, of forgiveness, of gratitude and change. It's about the way a little child can soften the hardest of hearts; the way a poor, humble family can possess vast treasure in the form of love and laughter. It's about the fact that the best things in life aren't things, and the way that people can change if the right spirit moves them. It's a Christmas story, if you ask me. And I recommend that you add it to your holiday preparations this year.

But you fail to explain how getting rid of the government will actually change the economy to my benefit.
You blame the governement, but don't provide an understandable alternative. I blame the government, and have alternative. An uncontrolled free market still sounds the same as what we have now, as far as I am concerned.
It is slightly amusing that this forum gets less activity than a couple others while being the least censored [only spam is blocked]. But then there is also a lot less chatter about nonsense. I'd take the site down and save myself $10 a month and $15 a year but my hope is that some of the content is valuable.

Clubhouse Insider Boston Red Sox News
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- In addition to having flexor tendon surgery, Red Sox closer Joel Hanrahan has undergone Tommy John surgery, according to one of his agents.
Mike Dillon, an agent at Reynolds Sports Managemen, tweeted tonight that Dr. James Andrews performed both procedures and removed bone spurs from Hanrahan's elbow.
Hanrahan, a free agent after the season, will require at least a 12-month rehab process....
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Even after embattled reliever Daniel Bard's abject meltdown Wednesday night at Double-A Portland, Farrell said the Red Sox are not yet considering sending him to extended spring training or shutting him down entirely.
Bard walked five batters, threw two wild pitches and recorded only three outs in his latest outing. Only eight of his 30 pitches were strikes.
"Given what has transpired, not just in the last couple of...
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Andrew Bailey is on the verge of rejoining the Red Sox.
Bailey threw a 15-pitch simulated game here today, pitching to teammates Ryan Lavarnway and Mike Carp before batting practice at Tropicana Field. The session went smoothly, and it appears the closer could be reinstated from the disabled list by Monday at the latest. He will make one minor league rehab appearance Saturday, at Triple-A Pawtucket before...
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Jon Lester is getting closer to joining the Mount Rushmore of Red Sox pitchers.
With five strikeouts in Wednesday night's 9-2 victory over the Rays, Lester passed Josh Beckett and moved into fifth place on the Red Sox' all-time list. With 1,110 strikeouts, he trails only Roger Clemens (2,590), Tim Wakefield (2,046), Pedro Martinez (1,683) and Cy Young...
The dissolution of Daniel Bard continued tonight.
Pitching for the Double A Portland Sea Dogs, Bard produced his worst outing of the season. In one-plus innings, the former all-world setup man walked five, threw two wild pitches and allowed two runs. He threw just eight of his 30 pitches for strikes, and was particularly brutal after coming back out for the seventh, walking the bases loaded and throwing a wild pitch before being lifted.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- John Farrell knows the numbers.
Over the past 11 games, the Red Sox have scored 36 runs, an average of 3.3 per game. They have a total of 91 hits, and as a team, they have batted .244 with a .310 on-base percentage. They have scored more than three runs only four times, as often as they have scored less than three runs. In Tuesday night's series-opening 5-3 loss to the Rays, they went 1-for-26 after David Ortiz' ...
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- After being held to three hits -- and no singles, for the third time already this season -- last night, the Red Sox will attempt to jolt their offense out of its slumber against Rays ace left-hander David Price. With Jon Lester on the mound for the Red Sox, it's a rematch of an April 13 game at Fenway Park in which Lester narrowly outdueled Price, but both pitchers took no-decisions, in a 10-inning, 2-1 Sox win.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- One day after surviving a violent collision with the bullpen fence at Fenway Park, Shane Victorino watched as Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper crashed into the wall at Dodger Stadium and required 11 stitches under his chin.
Victorino reached for his cell phone and texted Harper some friendly advice: Don't be stupid.
"Obviously, Harper plays the game hard, he plays that way, but again, you...
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Mike Napoli lamented not catching the ball. Dustin Pedroia blamed himself.
Either way, the Red Sox lost for the ninth time in 11 games, all but wiping away their superb start.
Lately, everything that could possibly go wrong has gone wrong. Cue the fourth inning of Tuesday night's 5-3 loss.
The Rays already had tied the game at 3-3 against starter John Lackey on Luke Scott...
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Turns out, there may be more to David Ortiz' slump than a negative newspaper column.
After going 1-for-4 with a three-run homer Tuesday night in the Red Sox' 5-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, Ortiz revealed that he has been dealing with tightness in the oblique muscle on his left side for most of the past week. Manager John Farrell corroborated Ortiz' explanation, admitting that Ortiz' absence from the lineup...

The Red Brick Inn was built in 1819 and it is believed to have been a summer residence for Judge Brown. The building is listed on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places, as the Spicer-Millard House. According to the researchers, the building is considered one of the finest examples of Federal Style Architecture in Yates County.
This residence also has a close connection to the Lost Resort of Crystal Valley, a series of grand hotels and spas that were famous throughout the East from 1866 to 1900. A mineral spring was discovered which was thought to have healing properties. Benson H. Smith, who owned the home in 1867, became a partner in the Crystal Spring Hotel. People would come to the hotel and adjoining spa to relax and rejuvenate. We believe that the same atmosphere that appealed to patrons in the mid-1800's is carried over to the Red Brick Inn today.

This item has lead me to need to return it because I have no outlets that will handle the power load needed to operate it. I wish salesman had let me know this before I purchased it. My electrician has indicated that I need a heavier load line and breaker for the compressor. That would cause significant added cost to use the item. It may well be a good to best item, but for me it is more costly than the purchase price justifies and I will not find this out.

This compressor was bought in November 2012 on an amazing sale ($400). So far, my overall thoughts are this is a great all around compressor. Yes, it did come low on oil as the majority of the other reviews said and yes, sears does not sale syn oil which it calls for. A very common home improvement store sales the bottles of syn oil in 16oz sizes for around $8. Best to pick up two, one to top it off for the break-in and one to change the oil once the break-in is completed. The drain on the bottom of the tank is 100% useless. At first I thought I could make it work but you need to go ahead and replace it with a street 90 with an extension and a nice ball valve. Probably end up costing an extra $15 or so after that?s said and done. I run this compressor a few times a week in my personal garage. Its uses are to air up tires, run an impact (Craftsman Professional Composite), run an air ratchet (craftsman Professional), and run a brake bleeder, among a few other random things. It runs whatever I need with no issues and man is it quiet! I had been using the small direct drive 3gal craftsman compressor and there is just not comparison in sound levels. If you are looking for a good, affordable compressor for your garage then this is most likely the compressor for you. Yes it does have some flukes but they are easily fixed. Ive had zero leaks with mine. And to the reviewer that said it wont run their DA that takes 5CFM at 150psi, this compressor does 7.2cfm at 40psi.. Gotta read for comprehension sometimes.

I was excited about getting this compressor despite the reviews....about the leaks and lack of oil. I did have to buy oil to add so I could do the proper break-in. but after changing the oil....the think was leaking like crazy! It was on the line from the tank...not easily tightened. I had to take everything off (including the electrical to stop the leak). I tried to get the store to repair it all I got was bring it back and we will get you a new one. Whay would I do this just to get another leaking compressor? They said I should have bought the service agreement...they they would have come to me to make the repairs..... Why is this? Do they know they are selling junk? just expect it to leak and be prepared to add oil right out of the box

I agree with previous reviewers that this is a pretty cheaply made and not well thought out compressor. But it does what it's supposed to do. That being said, let me describe some of the issues I've noticed. The first one is a pretty serious problem, the top of compressor head gets very hot when run continuously, and it is a natural spot to place your hand when adjusting the air or hooking up a hose. I'm actually surprised the nanny state "blow dryer in the bathtub" missed this, by the time the pain registers with your brain and you **** your hand back, it's too late, you've got a 3rd degree burn. I see no good way to mount a guard and I don't want to cover this with insulation as the heat needs to dissipate from the head. I guess you just have to remember not to place your hand there. As others have noted, the wheel assembly is the type that has a cap pressed on to retain the wheels. This may be a good idea for a Lil Red Ryder wagon but a 162 lb. compressor? Plus there is about an inch of play which allows things to bend and distort. I'm going to try adding some washers in between the cap and the wheels to tighten things up so there is no play. This should help. Another issue is the air outlet from the pressure switch is straight in line with the oil drain plug. This won?t be a problem if you are just going to hook a hose up but if you want to add a water separator it will obstruct the drain plug. I had to turn the ?? pipe coming from the tank to the pressure regulator counter clockwise to angle the air outlet away from the drain plug, this will give you enough clearance to remove the plug. One last issue, I hooked up a CP7201P Polisher that supposedly uses 5 CFM @ 150 psi. The compressor is supposed to make 7.2 CFM at 150 psi. Well, I hooked up the polisher and ran it with no load and watched the pressure in the tank drop while the compressor was running. The whole entire reason you buy a big CFM compressor is so that you get big CFM. I?m not going to knock off any stars from the review right now, I haven?t had a chance to run anything under load or adjust the tool yet, so maybe I don?t have things dialed in. But I will be watching this. If this compressor can?t produce what it advertizes, it?s going back home to Sears. One last observation, I don?t think the motor for this is a continuous duty cycle, it?s not marked as such. If it ever croaks and is out of warranty, it would be pretty straightforward to replace it with one, instead of just ordering the same one from Sears.

I followed the instructions on break-in, ran with tank drain valve open for 30 minutes. I then changed oil (no mention of this in instruction manual). Instruction manual does state the oil capacity as 18 oz. This is found in the exploded drawing for the compressor itself. I then pressurized the tank. It took 6-1/2 min. to fill and shut off at 152 lbs. The low pressure switch cut in at 120 psi. The compressor ran well and is running quieter now after about 3 hours of use. I am pleased with the performance. My biggest complaint is the drain valve...rather than one with the wing nut allowing you to tighten and loosen with your fingers, this unit came with a knurled threaded cap. It is impossible to drain by hand and requires one to get down on hands and knees and use a small set of pliers to operate. This design is inexcusable on a "premium" grade compressor. I replaced it with a street 90 and a ball valve. Be careful of clearance at bottom with this modification.

Everything looks to be well built on this. It's a bit pricey, but sometimes you get what you pay for and Craftsman tools are trustworthy.

Originally looking for a regular compressor for over a year for general purpose use. I saw this 27 gal pro-refurbished at the clearance section and paid $263 with tax. After testing it for 3 days, returned it due to leak and the manager immediately ordered a new compressor. The new unit arrived after 4 days: instruction is straight forward; powered it up, changed oil and worked golden since then...NO leaks.

Had to return immediately because of leaking oil. Last one in stock so I had to purchase a compressor elsewhere.

Had an old non-oil that was loud and took more room. I would suggest adding a small container of oil as it was low when I received it. Seems to work great and is reasonably quiet.

I bought this compressor afew days ago. When I had time, done the break-in as suggested in the instructions. Worked perfect! I used soapy water to check for leaks. None! Performed flawlessly! Needless to say, I am am pleased.
