Not babe watching, but night action of speeding fire truck under palm trees_3740
Today, I got this email but do not know what to suggest for Mom to protect her kids from Flickr’s Perverts. Please write me. I will pass on your brilliant protective suggestions. Flickr can be such fun. But …. with these sicko ones, what can one do? See below!Hi I thought maybe you could help me out with something Against my better judgement I recently posted photos of my children Today I checked the activity on my photos A photo of my two little girls was marked as a favorite of someone who calls himself thetrucker2 He ( I’m assuming its a he) had no buddy icon so I checked him out He has no photos to share and his favorites are of young children only mostly of girls in minimal amounts of clothing such as swimming suits or little tank tops This person is obviously a pervert I posted my concern in the help discussions or whatever and have blocked him but do not feel this is enough I am mad at myself, feeling I have done wrong by my children I am nervous because I have mapped some of my nature photos so this person probably knows the area where I live I am thinking of deleting my account I cannot figure out how to remove the mapped locations I don’t know why, but I trust that you can probably help me with this issue. Thank you for your time Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated My whole perspective about flickr has changed I am usually excited to see comments that people have left for me but now just feel uneasy and threatened. ________________TIPS ON PUMPING GASI don’t know what you people are paying for gasoline…. but here in California we are also payinghigher, up to $3.50 per gallon. But my line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks to get more of your money’s worth for every gallon..Here at the Kinder Morgan Pipeline where I work in San Jose, CA we deliver about 4 million gallons in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline. One day is diesel the next day is jet fuel, and gasoline, regular and premium grades. We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of16,800,000 gallons.Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold.Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening….your gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role.A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not havetemperature compensation at the pumps. When you’re filling up do not squeeze the trigger ofthe nozzle to a fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3 )stages: low, middle,and high. In slow mode you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some other liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you’re getting less worth for your money.One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is HALF FULL or HALF EMPTY. The reason for this is, the more gas you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates faster than you can imagine. Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the gas and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation. Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated so that every gallon is actually the exact amount.Another reminder, if there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up–most likely the gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom. Hope this will help you get the most value for your money.DO SHARE THESE TIPS WITH OTHERS!EXPLORE # 84 on Thursday, April 10, 2008; # 177, 467, 475 on Friday, April 11, 2008
