Lovely and relaxing
Reviewed: March 29, 2015 by Miamia69
These are a godsend! After a stressful day there's nothing better than you receiving or giving a hot stones massage.
I was sceptical because I've had professional ones before, but I have to say these are well worth the money and always end up leading to the most passionate loving orgasms.
- Pros
- The smooth texture and relaxing qualities.
- Cons
- I'd be happy to pay more to have slightly bigger ones.
- Bottom line
- Well worth it and such an nice treat.

Forget paying for expensive massages
Reviewed: March 23, 2015 by sparkle_, a Straight Engaged Female
I'd been eyeing up these for ages because I am the guilty woman who waits until late at night when my partner is half asleep before I decide to demand a massage!
When they got here I was first really impressed by the little velour drawstring bag. Although the product isn't 'out there', it's still discreet and makes the product look so classy; you really wouldn't be able to tell they're so cheap! Plus it is great to transport them in without having rocks flying or rattling all over your bag!
My partner followed the instructions to heat the rocks and we were both so impressed by how well they retain heat. Just be careful you don't try and touch them too soon as they are a little too good at their heat retaining!
The rocks themselves are smooth, flat and cool and have the Lovehoney logo on which again, make them look that little bit more expensive, and the shape means they can be used all over the body! They also come in different sizes, which means you can pick and choose where they go. Versatile!
I love it when my partner applies a little pressure with them, and although we haven't tried yet, I'm willing to bet they would also feel amazing with a massage oil!
Although I wouldn't recommend using them when you're tired, if you want a more 'rocking' night (I was almost falling asleep!) I would definitely say they're well worth the money for usage time and time again. Maybe you could put the money saved on massages towards a special reward for your partner! ;)
- Pros
- The different sizes of the rocks.
- Cons
- I underestimated how hot they would be!
- Bottom line
- Well worth the money and good for gentle bonding.

Relaxing, amazing massage
Reviewed: March 19, 2015 by misscutie_pie, a Straight Going Steady Female
I ordered these as part of a deal as I'd had a hot stone massage once before at a salon and loved it.
They arrived in a gorgeous velvet bag with the Lovehoney logo on it and this is great to store the stones in after use.
You simply heat up the stones in a pan of water. Make sure they are a comfortable temperature, and using massage oil slide them up and around your partner's back with a little pressure behind them. The combination of massage oil, the smooth stones and the heat makes for such a relaxing and indulgent massage equal to any salon. Me and my boyfriend take turns giving each other massages with these stones. 2 massages for me, 1 for him!
When you're done the stones are easy to rinse and dry, and then you pop them back in the bag for next time.
- Pros
- Smooth stones, relaxing and indulgent, especially when combined with massage oil.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- An absolute must for a truly indulgent massage.

Finding white substance in soil and at base of plants
I am really worried that I might have a battle with some kind of plant disease or diseases. I noticed that my oxalis and caladium seemed to have been losing leaves extremely quickly then I noticed a white almost sticky substance at the base of these plants. I removed all the parts that seemed affected and sprayed the roots and they are both looking healthy again. However I am finding alot of this substance on my portulacas and in their soil. I have been removing the affected parts and spraying with a three in one organic insecticide/fungicide/miticide. Yesterday I went into my small greenhouse area and found brown spots on the leaves of several of my plants. I removed all the infected leaves, cut back the plants and sprayed with the same spray. But I am still horrified. What else can I possibly do?
I have over 55 plants that are in terra cotta pots and I am having the same problem. It's definitely not the salts because I have pots like that but this is a soft white mildew at the base of the pots, on the ring of the top and some on the soil. I have tried taking off the top layer of soil but it keeps coming back. I have cleaned off the outer side with vinegar and water and it still comes back. I do have all my plants sitting on stones with water in it. Could this be causing it. I have just purchased all new pots and soil so I can't redo all these plants again. Does anyone know of anything I can use that won't harm the plants and clean it where it won't come back but also won't harm my plants?? Please help.

A filter bag and cage assembly which can be installed or removed from beneath the tube sheet of a baghouse. The filter bag is releasably mounted by a snap ring to a collar secured to the bottom of the tube sheet. A wire mesh cage providing skeletal support for the bag is suspended therein by a hanger which includes a pivotal support bar extending across and supported on the upper rim structure of the bag. When removal of the assembly downwardly is desired, as when there is insufficient clearance above the baghouse, the support bar is raised slightly and pivoted such that it is able to fit into the bag. The snap ring is then released, and the entire assembly can be lowered from the tube sheet together.
1. A filter bag assembly for a baghouse having a tube sheet which presents an opening therethrough, said assembly comprising:
a bag-like fabric filter having an upper rim positionable beneath said tube sheet;
releasable band means for suspending said filter from the tube sheet in registration with the opening thereof, said releasable means permitting installation and removal of said filter from beneath said tube sheet;
a cage adapted to fit in said filter to provide skeletal support therefor;
a hanger coupled with said cage for suspending same in said filter; and
a support bar pivotally coupled to said hanger in a manner to support same in position to suspend said cage in the filter, said support bar having a first position horizontally spanning the upper rim of said filter to prevent passage of said support bar downwardly into said filter, and a second position wherein said support bar is oriented nonhorizontally to pass downwardly within said filter whereby the filter bag assembly may be installed and removed from beneath the tube sheet.
2. The invention of claim 1, wherein said hanger includes a pair of legs each having one end connected with said cage.
3. The invention of claim 2, wherein said legs converge toward the ends thereof opposite said one end to form an apex for receiving said support bar.
4. The invention of claim 1, said support bar being of sufficient length to span the rim of said filter and being supported on top of said rim in extension across same when in the first position.
5. The invention of claim 4, wherein said opening of the tube sheet has a diameter greater than the length of said bar.
6. The invention of claim 1, including a collar projecting from the tube sheet below said opening, said releasable means suspending said filter from said collar.
This invention relates generally to industrial baghouses and deals more particularly with an improved filter bag assembly which may be installed or removed either upwardly or downwardly from the tube sheet of a baghouse.
Continuous emphasis on environmental quality has resulted in increasingly strenuous regulatory controls on industrial emissions. One technique which has proven highly efficient in controlling air pollution has been separation of undesirable particulate matter from a gas stream by fabric filtration.
Such filtration is carried out in dust collection apparatus known in the trade as a "baghouse" which operates on the same general principle as an ordinary household vacuum cleaner, except on a much larger scale. Basically, the baghouse is a sheet metal housing divided into two chambers, referred to as plenums, by one or more tube sheets. Disposed within openings communicating with the plenums are fabric filters. A particle laden gas stream, induced by the action of a fan, flows into one chamber (dirty air plenum) wherein dust accumulates on the fabric filter as the gas passes through the fabric into the other chamber (clean air plenum) and out the exhaust.
Although all baghouses are designed in accordance with the foregoing general principles, there are numerous operational and structural distinctions. The present invention relates to a baghouse in which the dirty and clean air plenums are separated by a tube sheet having a plurality of vertically suspended filter bags that receive cylindrical wire cages for skeletal support. Filtration of the process gas occurs from outside to inside of the bag. Therefore, baghouses constructed in this manner are normally referred to as outside bag collectors. An example of this type of baghouse is disclosed in my U.S. Pat. No. 4,097,254, which is incorporated herein by reference.
It is inevitable that, in service, the filter bags will develop leaks or other damage which impairs their effectiveness in removing particulate matter from contaminated gas. In order to stay within industrial emissions standards and operate at peak efficiency, it is imperative that defective bags be identified and replaced. Therefore, maintaining the bags in proper condition is of crucial importance to operation of the baghouse.
The replacement of defective bags has traditionally been a time consuming and costly maintenance operation which often requires a number of workers. With the top access doors opened, the bags and associated rigid cages can normally be removed from the tube sheet in an upwardly direction. Where there is little room above the baghouse, as may be encountered in a low ceiling building, this manner of removal of the bags which are typically 8 feet or more in length is difficult or in some cases impossible. Even if there is sufficient room for upward removal of the bags, the workmen must often work in cramped quarters which greatly increases the difficulty of the task and the time required to complete it.
Therefore, it is apparent that a need exists for a filter bag assembly which can be easily removed from its supporting tube sheet in a downwardly direction as well as upwardly when bag replacement is necessary, and which can easily be installed from beneath the tube sheet. The primary goal of the present invention is to meet this need.
More specifically, it is an object of the invention to provide a filter bag and cage assembly which can be quickly and easily installed or removed from beneath the tube sheet of the baghouse. The hanger arrangement which supports the case within the filter bag permits convenient bottom installation or removal in situations where there is insufficient clearance space above the baghouse to enable installation from above or upward removal of the rigid cages. If there is sufficient clearance above the baghouse, installation or removal from above may be carried out with equal convenience.
Another object of the invention is to provide a filter bag and cage assembly of the character described in which the cage is supported on the sturdy upper rim structure of the filter bag rather than on the bottom of the bag.
A further object of the invention is to provide the fiter bag and cage assembly of the character described wherein standard filter bags may be employed and there is no need for significant modification of the tube sheet.
An additional object of the invention is to provide a filter bag and cage assembly of the character described which is constructed simply and economically.
Other and further objects of the invention, together with the features of novelty appurtenant thereto, will appear in the course of the following description of the drawings.
In the accompanying drawings which form a part of the specification and are to be read in conjunction therewith, and in which like reference numerals are employed to indicate like parts in the various views:
FIG. 1 is an elevational view, partially in section, showing a filter bag and cage assembly suspended from a tube sheet in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the portions broken away indicating continuous length of the bag and cage;
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary sectional view similar to the upper portion of FIG. 1 but showing the cage raised and the hanger bar pivoted to a release position for removal of the bag and cage from the tube sheet; and
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary sectional view of the cage and hanger taken generally along line 3--3 of FIG. 1 in the direction of the arrows.
Referring now to the drawing in more detail, numeral 10 generally designates a metal tube sheet which is disposed in an outside collector baghouse. The tube sheet 10 is disposed horizontally and separates a dirty air plenum 11 from a clean air plenum 12 located above the tube sheet. Particle laden process gas flows, by action of a fan (not shown), from the dirty air plenum 11 through a plurality of filter cartridges which filter the dust and other particulate matter from the gas prior to discharge of the clean gas through an exhaust duct (not shown) communicating with the clean air plenum.
Numeral 13 identifies one of the filter cartridges which is suspended from the tube sheet 10 within a cylindrical opening 14 formed through the tube sheet. A cylindrical collar 15 is mounted to the underside of the tube sheet adjacent opening 14 in order to provide a flat surface of the tube sheet in the clean air plenum. A flange 15a formed on the upper edge of collar 15 is welded or otherwise affixed to the bottom of the tube sheet to secure the collar in place. Collar 15 has a continuous bead 16 projecting inwardly therefrom at a location intermediate its height.
The filter cartridge 13 includes a conventional open topped filter bag 18 formed of a suitable fabric material and having a bottom panel 18a. The upper portion of bag 18 is folded over a snap ring 19 to form a cuff 18b. The snap ring 19 is a spring like metal band which tends to expand outwardly by spring action in order to releasably attach bag 18 to collar 15. The outer surface of ring 19 presents a continuous recess 19a which is large enough to receive the bead 16 of collar 15. Ring 19 urges cuff 18b outwardly such that recess 19a and bead 16 register with one another with the cuff 18b located therebetween. In this manner, the filter bag 18 is sealingly suspended from collar 15.
A wire mesh cage 20 provides skeletal support for bag 18. The cage 20 includes spaced apart circular rings 20a which are secured to vertical wires 20b. The case has a wire mesh bottom and is open at the top. A metal band 21 is welded to extend around the upper rim of the cage.
A hanger 22 in the general shape of an inverted V is used to suspend cage 20 within the filter bag 18. The hanger has a pair of legs 23 which are preferrably constructed of wire. As best shown in FIG. 3, legs 23 diverge as they extend downwardly and are looped at 23a on their bottom ends around one of the rings 20a of cage 20. The loops 23a are at diametrically opposed locations on ring 20a. The converging upper end portions of legs 23 are interconnected by an integral, short horizontal portion 24 located at the vertex of the inverted V.
Hanger 22 includes a rigid wire bar 26 which serves to support the hanger such that cage 20 is properly located within bag 18. Bar 26 has an eye 26a at its center which is looped around portion 24 of the hanger to pivotally connect bar 26 therewith. Bar 26 is able to freely pivot about the axis of member 24 between the positions shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Bar 26 is long enough to span the diameter of the upper rim structure of bag 18 but is shorter than the diameter of opening 14.
In use, bag 18 is attached to collar 15 in the manner shown in FIG. 1 with the outward spring force of ring 19 maintaining cuff 18b tightly against the bead 16 of the collar. If inserted from above, the cage 20 is simply lowered into the filter bag with bar 26 in a horizontal position. When fully lowered, bar 26 rests on top of the upper rim structure of bag 18 at its opposite ends and hanger 22 supports cage 20 at the desired position within the bag. It is noted that the bottom of cage 20 is spaced slightly above the bottom panel 18a of the filter bag so that the entire weight of the cage and hanger is applied to the sturdy rim structure of the bag (which is reinforced by ring 19), rather than on the bottom of the bag. Hanger 22 supports cage 20 in a stable position wherein it provides adequate skeletal support for bag 18 as gas is passed there through during operation of the baghouse.
For inspection or replacement of the filter bag or cage, the entire filter cartridge 13 can be removed either upwardly or downwardly from the tube sheet 10. Upward removal is accomplished by raising bar 26 to pull cage 20 and hanger 22 upwardly out of bag 18. Snap ring 19 is then released from collar 15 so that bag 18 can be raised in the usual manner into the clean air plenum.
Since there is often not enough height in the clean air plenum 12 to accommodate upward removal of the cartridge assembly, downward removal must be employed in many instances. To remove the cartridge downwardly from the tube sheet, bar 26 is initially raised slightly and pivoted to the position shown in FIG. 2. Legs 23 are long enough to permit the bar to be freely pivoted without interference from band 21 or any other part of cage 20. Once the bar has been pivoted sufficiently to clear the upper rim structure of bag 18, it can be lowered into the bag until the bottom of the cage rests on the bottom of the bag. Ring 19 can then be released from collar 15 and the entire assembly can be lowered in unison into the dirty air plenum 11.
When installing the filter assembly from beneath the tube sheet the cage is first fully inserted into the bag with the hanger bar inclined from horizontal (see FIG. 2). The spring ring 19 is deformally collapsed by the installer to reduce the circumference thereof for insertion within the collar 15. When released, the ring 19 springs back to sealingly mate against the collar 15 with bead 16 projecting into recess 19a. The cage is then raised slightly so bar 26 projects out of the bag mouth to be oriented to a horizontal position. The cage is subsequently lowered until the bar 26 rests across the bag mouth.
From the foregoing it will be seen that this invention is one well adapted to attain all the ends and objects hereinabove set forth together with the other advantages which are obvious and which are inherent to the structure.
It will be understood that certain features and sub-combinations are of utility and may be employed without reference to other features and sub-combinations. This is contemplated by and is within the scope of the claims.
Since many possible embodiments may be made of the invention without departing from the scope thereof, it is to be understood that all matter herein set forth or shown in the accompanying drawings is to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Garage floor epoxy
Has anyone had experience with the Rustoleum or the Supercoat (sold at samsclub.com) garage floor finish? Any comments on how well these epoxies hold up in a residential garage? Any advice or hints on applying too would be appreciated. Thanks, Terry
Yes..that's should be a good epoxy..the key is a good stripping agent to remove all the dirt and oils, then a good etcher and primer..also there's the option to add a pouch of Non-skid to the epoxy..it's kind of a big job..what brand do you have? i used "Behr" and it's works pretty well altogether..anyway..just my 2 cents..mike DFW
Ilive in the northeats, and when you park your car in the winter (which is when the garage is used) the melting snow goes onto the floor and water is "soaked" through the concrete.
NOW, if putting a poxy or sealeant on it, that would prevent the water form soaking through, right? Does anyone have a painted floor who lives in a snowbelt region?
I live in Michigan and I know a few people with epoxy coatings in their garages. I am fairly sure it stops the water from soaking though. In fact one of my friends had to put his down on wet concrete to begin with. I don't recall what brand it was though.
I would stay away from bargin coatings from Home Depot and alike. It wont last and if your going to take the time to do the proper prep, only to have it fail, you've wasted you're time and money. Buy a quality epoxy, do the proper prep and it will look great for many years.

Sri Lanka launches third ICT survey with PwC
As ICT exports are projected to top $1Bn this year, Sri Lanka has launched the latest ICT Value Survey to find the national hi-tech exports it achieved in 2013/14-and all the ICT exporters are encouraged to actively take part in it.
"We have recognized the ICT industry to be a key player in our exports. We a looking for $1 billion exports this year" voiced Rishad Bathiudeen, Minister of Industry and Commerce of Sri Lanka on Wednesday (18) in Colombo.
Minister Bathiudeen was acknowledging the update on ICT exports by top EDB officials on the latest ICT Value Survey.
The Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB), for the third time, has embarked on the survey of the ICT/ BPM export industry to capture the ICT export values for the years 2013 and 2014. The survey is expected to demonstrate the progress made by the industry and to highlight its growing significance as a top export revenue generator for Sri Lanka. This survey will specifically focus on the export value of the ICT sector for the years 2013 and 2014. While focusing on the capacity available for the industry, the survey also concentrates on the existing global markets.
The survey will be conducted in partnership with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
"Sri Lankan President's 100 Day program aims at export promotion and GSP Plus recovery" stressed Minister Bathiudeen, and added: "We have recognized the ICT industry to be a key player in our exports development. We are looking for $1 billion exports this year. The 2013/'14 ICT Export Value Survey will show us the latest exports value. I urge all the ICT exporters of Sri Lanka to join and support us to find the accurate volumes."
Mr. Bandula Egodage, Chairman and Chief Executive of EDB, stressed: "To evaluate the progress of ICT/BPM exports, we need to continuously measure the growth of it and its contribution to the country's economy. The government has recognized the industry to be one of the key players in the Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka Export Development Board expects that this survey will be instrumental in facilitating the industry to reach its highest potential. The results of the survey will be useful to assess the current status of the industry in relation to its competitors as well as be the basis for Government policy decisions in the future regarding the ICT industry".
During the last five years, Sri Lanka's global brand position improved significantly. AT Kearney ranked Sri Lanka among the top 25 destinations in their global ranking in the last three consecutive rankings. Gartner ranked Sri Lanka among its top 30 global locations. IBM, Tholons and several others ranked Sri Lanka at the top of their respective leader boards. To receive the "Outsourcing Destination of the Year" award from the National Outsourcing Association (NOA), UK twice in a row, was a true validation of the tremendous progress that Sri Lanka has achieved.
When such ICT initiatives are carried out by EDB, EDB is supported by the ICT/BPM industry, the Information and Communication Technology Agency of Sri Lanka, Board of Investment, SLASSCOM, FITIS, Ministry of Industry & Commerce, Institute of Chartered Accountants, Faculty of IT – University of Moratuwa and School of Computing – University of Colombo.
In 2013, Sri Lanka ICT export revenues stood at $719 Mn. The sector saw growth of 123% over the last five years. London Stock Exchange and HSBC are among recipients of Lankan ICT support. Sri Lanka's IT/BPM sector vision 2022 is to earn $5Bn in revenues, with 200,000 direct jobs and 1000 start-ups.

Switzerland ready to support Sri Lanka's national reconciliation
Switzerland is willing to open a new chapter in bilateral relations with Sri Lanka and ready to extend its full support for a national reconciliation programme Visiting Head of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs of the Swiss Confederation, Federal Councilor Didier Burkhalter told President Maithripala Sirisena.
The visiting Head of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs made this pledge Tuesday (17) when he met Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena at the Presidential Secretariat.
Mr Burkhalter said that the Swiss government is very happy with the measures taken by Sri Lankan government so far to build up national reconciliation and empower democracy in Sri Lanka.
In talks with President Sirisena and other top government representatives Mr. Burkhalter also discussed possibilities of boosting bilateral trade between Sri Lanka and Switzerland.
President Sirisena appreciated the Swiss government's role as a neutral state in helping peace moves throughout the world.
Mr. Burkhalter has also held talks with Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, Foreign Minister Mangala Samaraweera and representatives of the government and of the Tamil population in the Sri Lankan capital Colombo.
Mr Burkhalter expressed his appreciation for the peaceful elections in Sri Lanka and for the reforms the new government has introduced.
Open and comprehensive dialogue between all parties concerned was an essential prerequisite for building trust, said Mr Burkhalter. He also welcomed the Sri Lankan government's willingness to work more closely with the international community and the UN to investigate and punish human rights violations.
Concerning bilateral relations, Mr Burkhalter said that a "new era" could be starting between Switzerland and Sri Lanka, in terms of economic ties and cooperation in other areas.
At today's meeting with Prime Minister Wickremesinghe, Mr Burkhalter discussed options for expanding trade and economic relations.
The trade volume between Switzerland and Sri Lanka is currently around CHF 300 million per year. Many Swiss companies are present in Sri Lanka, and Mr Burkhalter met representatives from several of them while in Colombo today.

Holiday World is unique outlet where one can access with all possible features related to the tourism package trips and getting into a valet of a typical traveller where multiple countries are visited like Maldives and Sri Lanka.
As the UNWTO Secretary General commented that using all forms of digital communication and not only can act on a feedback loop but also develop new elands that can blossom to a strong relationship. The latest trends reveal that there is growth in the number of visitors attending the fair every year and the conversions from sales leads is a good ROI based evaluation that we are in the process of finalizing together with the bid proposal.

The newly-constructed 63-km railway track between Madhu Road and Talaimannar Pier is the last segment of the 265-km long, prestigious Northern Railway Line Reconstruction Project which is being executed by IRCON International Ltd., a Government of India owned company.
It is designed with a speed potential of 120 km per hour.

Exactly what I needed!
I recently moved into my first home, a condo adjacent to three major grocery stores. I was looking for something to hold heavier grocery items so I can be green and walk to and from the grocery store. I did NOT want one of those cheap metal carts or something that would fall apart. I stumbled across this tote and after reading other great reviews, I bought it in red. It is exactly what I wanted! I live alone so I don't always have a ton of groceries. Just this week my tote held a gallon of milk, a dozen eggs. two bottle of wine, two pints of ice cream, a strainer, and many other assorted items. ALL fit in my wheeled tote! It is sturdy and attractive :)Read More

There are many creative and fun gifts to choose from when shopping for new dads. Check out these ideas for some of the best baby gifts for new dads. Digital camera/camcorder.

Not only will dad have new equipment to take as many pictures and videos of his new baby as he wants; he'll also love having a new gadget to figure out and play with. Baby carrier. Infant car seats are great for getting around town with your baby in a car, but there are times when an infant car seat is too bulky to carry while you're walking. Dads love holding their babies in their arms, but it's nice to have some hands-free time for multitasking, especially with a brand new baby. For this reason, one of the best baby gifts for new dads is a front or back baby carrier. A baby carrier gives dad plenty of baby-dad quality time while allowing dad to go for walks, run errands or do chores around the house. Dads will love being able to have their babies close, and most babies enjoy being in their carrier so much that they nod off within minutes of being strapped on. Diaper bag. There are plenty of stylish designer diaper bags available for moms but what about dads? Most dads don�t want to carry around a women's diaper bag; get him a "dad bag" instead. There are many new masculine diaper bags on the market. These dad bags typically look more like standard backpacks or messenger bags but are designed with all of the handy compartments necessary for toting diapers, wipes, bottles and more. Masculine diaper bags will be a great hit with the new dad as he adjusts to life on the move with a little one. Parenting books.

There are plenty of general parenting books available, some written just for dads, that cover topics ranging from baby health and baby development to a father's role and discipline.
