Cave Tubing at Pindul Cave
Pindul Cave is one of a chain of seven caves that is flowed by underground water in area Bejiharjo. This cave has a length of about 300 m, width 5 m, the distance between water surface and roof of the cave is 4 m, and water depth of about 5 m. In one part of Pindul Caves there is a wide enough of piece so it looks like a large pond. There is also a wide crack on this piece where the sunlight may come in . If you want to get into the cave vertically, so you may through this crack. Not far from there Pindul Cave, there is Gelatik Cave, remains monument of Sudirman , also archaeological sites of Sokoliman.
That said, name of Pindul Cave comes from the story of Joko Singlulung in odysseying through dense forest, rivers, to the cave to find his father. While he was down seven caves with rivers flow beneath it, his head was bumped a rock in the cave. Therefore, the cave was named Pindul Cave by him.
Appropriate for Beginners
Cavetubing is similar with rafting. If rafting is activity of flowing down the river by boat, while cavetubing is activity of flowing the cave by tires. Because the water stream of Pindul Cave is calm and its water discharge is relatively the same both in rainy season and dry season, so doing cavetubing in Pindul Cave can also be done by beginners as well as to children.
Cavetubing tour at Pindul Cave provides guide who can guide us to do cavetubing. Its administrator also provides equipment such as tires, life vest, and headlamp. To rent the facility, visitors will be charged about Rp. 25.000 - Rp 30,000. But if you bring your own equipment, so you can do cavetubing without spend your many at all.
Pindul Cave is located in Hamlet Gelaran I, Bejiharjo Village, District Karangmojo, Gunung Kidul, about 7 km to the north City of Wonosari. As general region in Gunungkidul, along the way there are many oak and limestone.
Pindul cave is one of seven rivers that drained by underground river in Bejiharjo area. This cave has 300 meters long, 5 meters wide, the gap between water surface and cave roof is 4 meters, and the water depth is about 5 meters. In one part, there is a quite wide enough place so it looks like a big pool. There is also a whole where the sunshine entrance. For you who want to get in the cave vertically could down through that whole. Not far from this place, there is a cave named Gua Gelatik (dry cave), Jendral Sudirman heritage monument, and Sokoliman archeological site.
People say naming Pindul cave came from the journey of Joko Singlulung exploring forest, river, and cave to found his father. When he passed the seven caves with underground river, his head hit a giant stone, that is why this cave named Pindul by people.
Suits for Beginner
Cave tubing is almost as same as rafting. If rafting is an activity to sailing a river by the boat, so cave tubing does it by sit on a tube. Because the water flow is quite both in dry or rain season, so cave tubing is flexible for beginner or children.
Guides are always available to accompany you while cave tubing. They also provide cave tubing outfit such as tube, life vest, and headlamp.
Pindul cave located in Dusun Gelaran I, Desa Bejiharjo, Kecamatan Karangmojo, Gunung Kidul, about 7 km to the north side of city of Wonosari. Like the other area in Gunung Kidul, there are many teak tree and lime stone along the way.

This invention relates to a luminous golf ball cover impregnated with a material containing phosphorous or phosphorogens so that the golf ball can be seen at night; it also relates to a carrying case that bathes a plurality of the novel golf balls in light.
Japanese Pat. No. 61-176369 discloses a golf ball impregnated with a light-accumulating pigment containing zinc and sulfur so that the balls may be used in night games.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,938,132 to Cunningham discloses a light-containing carrying case having a handle, a battery for power, and a reflector inside the case. A handle is used for carrying the case, and batteries power the light which is constructed and positioned to illuminate the interior of the case, including its contents, and a reflector plate is preferably provided at a location over the light to reflect the light and direct the light downwardly into the case.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,591,051 to Lowmann discloses a ball containing carrying case having a handle for carrying balls that are stacked up to five balls in height and five balls in width. The cover is transparent so that the balls are clearly visible from the outside of the case. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,779,725 to Gerber, 2,883,207 to Reich, 3,918,719 to Welch and 3,917,264 to Davidson et al. are also of interest.
A luminous substance is impregnated into the cover of a golf ball, golf tee, ball marker or other related items, at the time the item is manufactured.
A plurality of balls are carried in a carrying case having at least one battery powered fluorescent light bulb therein. A false bottom divides the carrying case into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The balls and the light source are in the upper chamber whereas the battery pack for the light source is disposed in the lower chamber. Solar panels that generate electricity for the light source are mounted on the lid of the case.
The interior of the upper chamber is lined with a reflective foil to disperse light from the bulb or bulbs throughout the interior of the upper chamber of the carrying case. The balls are disposed in the upper chamber in a single layer to insure that each ball is bathed in light emitted from the light source.
The luminous substance is excited or activated when exposed to light. Thus, when a ball or other item is placed into the carrying case and the light source is activated, the luminous material is excited.
The luminous material of this invention is phosphorescent; it glows in the dark for extended periods of time after being removed from the carrying case or other source of light and is repeatedly rechargeable.
An important object of this invention is to provide luminescent golf balls and related items so that said items are visible under low light conditions.
Another important object is to provide carrying cases for luminescent items that include light sources so that said items are recharged when stored in said cases.
The invention accordingly comprises the features of construction, combination of elements and arrangement of parts that will be exemplified in the construction set forth hereinafter and the scope of the invention will be set forth in the claims.
For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is an elevational view of a luminescent golf ball;
FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view of the golf ball of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a transverse sectional view of a carrying case for golf balls;
FIG. 4 is a fragmented side elevational view of the novel carrying case;
FIG. 5 is a plan view of the case in its open configuration; and
FIG. 6 is a schematic wiring diagram of a solar unit that supplies power to the lamp.
Similar reference numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views of the drawings.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, it will there be seen that a golf ball treated with a luminous substance is denoted as a whole by the reference numeral 10. It should be noted at the outset, however, that other items such as golf tees and ball locators, for example, could also be treated with a luminous substance in accordance with the teachings and suggestions of this invention.
The luminous substance is mixed with a radiant pigment and the mixture is thereafter impregnated into the cover 12 of ball 10. The impregnation is performed at the time the ball cover is manufactured, i.e., the mixture of radiant pigment and luminous substance is placed into the mixture that produces the cover.
A minute amount of the pigment/luminous substance is required to produce the ball of FIGS. 1 and 2. It has been found that of the total constituents of the cover, only 0001-0.01 percent of said constituents need be the pigment/substance mixture to produce the luminescent golf balls of this invention.
FIG. 2 depicts a plurality of particles of the pigmented luminous substance. The particles are collectively denoted 14.
The preferred luminescent substance of this invention is a phosphorescent substance such as an inorganic zinc sulfide phosphor. Any material containing phosphorous or phosphorogens is suitable.
The preferred carrying case is shown in plan view in FIG. 5 and is denoted 16, generally. Although carrying case 16 is shown in octagonal form, having eight sides collectively denoted 18, it could be provided in different geometrical configurations.
Case 16 carries up to ten balls 12 as depicted in FIG. 5. The balls are not stacked atop one another but are disposed in a single layer. The floor 20 of case 16 that supports balls 12 is a false floor as will become clear as this description proceeds.
Case 16 includes a lid 22 and a base 24 that are hingedly connected to one another by hinge 26. An annular fluorescent light bulb 28 is secured to the inside wall 30 of lid 22 by clip 32. Pivotally mounted latch 27 on base 24 and latch base 27a on lid 18 hold the lid closed when desired. Switch 29 (FIG. 3) is an on-off switch for bulb 28 and for the solar unit as hereinafter described.
As shown in FIG. 3, a handle 34 is pivotally secured as illustrated or by other suitable fastening means to top exterior wall 36 of lid 22 to facilitate carrying of the case.
The golf balls 12 are supported on the above-mentioned false bottom 20 of the case; a battery pack 38 is mounted below the false floor 20 atop the true bottom wall 40 of the case 16. Thus, false bottom 20 divides the base 24 of carrying case 16 into an upper chamber 42 and a lower chamber 44 as shown.
Battery pack 38, having a plurality of batteries, collectively denoted 46 therein, is conductively coupled to a fluorescent light bulb 28. The light bulb 28 is positioned above the balls 12 as shown, in the upper chamber 42 of the case. Any other source of visible light, ultraviolet light or other suitable sources of electromagnetic radiation may be employed. Metal contacts 31, 33, best shown in FIG. 5, complete the electrical circuit between bulb 28 and batteries 46 so that when lid 22 is open, no current can flow to bulb 28.
The inside walls of the upper chamber 42 of case 16 are lined with a light-reflective foil denoted 48, generally. The lower chamber 44 is not so lined. The foil effectively bathes each ball 12 in light since the balls are not stacked atop one another. Moreover, by positioning the battery power pack in the lower chamber 44, there is nothing in the upper chamber 42 to obstruct the light from bulb 28, thereby insuring that each ball 12 is fully illuminated whenever the light source 28 is activated.
True bottom wall 40 is recessed with respect to the bottom of case 16 as shown in FIG. 3 to accommodate hinge 54 of battery pack access door 56 and door opening means 58.
To make the interior of case 16 substantially light tight, lid 22 and base 24 have complementally formed edges that interlock with one another. For example, lid 22 may be provided with a downwardly depending flange 50 at its radially outermost edge as depicted in FIGS. 3 & 5, and base 24 may be provided with an upwardly projecting flange 52 that mates therewith when the lid is closed as clearly shown in FIG. 3.
FIG. 4 further depicts the hinged interconnection between base 24 and lid 22 and shows the closed position of latch 27 and its base 27a as well.
FIG. 6 shows a solar panel unit 54 that is conductively coupled to lamp 28; unit 54 is mounted on top of lid 22. Switch 29 is a double throw switch so that power can be drawn from battery pack 38 or solar unit 54 at the election of the user.
A commercial embodiment of the present invention employs Spot-Lite (trademark) phosphorescent materials available from Hanovia Corporation of Newark, N.J., a subsidiary of Canrad Inc. Specifically, the preferred phosphorescent material is Hanover's Glow-in-the-Dark (Glo) pigment Series 1000.
When one or more of the balls 12 are removed from case 16, it will glow brightly in the dark for an extended period of time. The intensity of the glow will diminish with time, but the luminescence will still be detectable by dark-adapted eyes for many hours thereafter.
It will thus be seen that the objects set forth above, and those made apparent from the foregoing description, are efficiently attained and since certain changes may be made in the above construction without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matters contained in the foregoing description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of the scope of the invention which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween.
Now that the invention has been described,

Our People
Profile: Jennifer Sloan
Growing up as the daughter of an engineer, Jennifer Sloan set her sights on following in her father's steps at an early age.
Throughout high school, the junior civil and environmental engineering major prepared for her transition into college by attending numerous engineering camps offered through the Bagley College of Engineering at MSU. It was at the QUEST summer research program, however, that she discovered civil engineering and chose her future.
Jennifer has served in Washington, D.C., as part of the Congressional Fellowship Program and currently is president of the Engineering Student Council.
Last fall, she had the opportunity to work as a student research assistant on a U.S. Department of Defense-funded project exploring ways to find natural and waste uranium in the environment so that it can be isolated and removed.
With a goal of becoming an environmental engineer, Jennifer says she wants to be involved in research and development that will have a lasting impact.
"I think it is important for us to use the technology we are developing to make sure the earth we leave behind is better than the one we inherited," she said. "When I look back on my life, I want to know that my work made a difference in the lives of my children and future generations."
Next week … Nach !

Taylor Swift broke up with Conor Kennedy, what, like a second ago? And she reportedly already has a new boyfriend!?
It's like she'll date any guy who makes eye contact with her the longest!
Anyways, this new beau rumor isn't confirmed, but several outlets are reporting that Tay Tay is growing "increasingly close" to 21-year-old British singer Ed Sheeran and the guy just got some interesting new tattoo art.
This is a Twitpic of Ed's arm with a "RED" tattoo, aka the name of Taylor Swift's new album. It's in the same exact font and color as hers too, and it's a new tat for the singer, so it's not like he's just had a random "RED" tattoo already on his arm.
Ok, so that's weird, right?
Taylor and Ed teamed up for ONE song on Taylor's album, the song "Everything Has Changed" and since Taylor ONLY sings about relationships, I wouldn't be surprised if these two turned their music relationship into a real one.
Ed's also been tweeting congratulatory words to Taylor like, "Congrats to @taylorswift13 for selling 1.2 million albums in a week, orrrsssuuummmm."
Maybe he just has a little crush on her? But the RED tattoo is still a bit weird. He reportedly got the ink done on Sunday.
Ed will be going on tour with Taylor beginning in 2013 and just last month he told an Australia paper, "Taylor's such a sweetheart. [She's] the perfect example of what musicians should be and how they should work and react. She just loves music and she's not in it for anything else."
If they aren't dating, Ed just has a mad crush on Taylor.

I purposely got this lotion because on iHerb it does not state that there is any sodium benzoate... I received the bottle today and it says sodium benzoate. Although this seems to be a pretty good lotion, I will not be ordering this again.

The area that is now called Glen Oaks was a slice of flat terrain eagerly sought by farmers in the 1640's. It was a rural, unnamed section of Flushing, part of a 20,000 acre land grant to Massachusetts settlers and at one time the home of many potato fields in eastern Queens. 167 acres purchased from William K. Vanderbilt's country estate became the Glen Oaks Golf Club in 1923. In 1944, the Gross-Morton Co. purchased 175 acres of land west of the golf club. Backed by $24 million in Federal Housing Administration funds, the neighborhood was developed after World War II, with shopping along Union Turnpike. The model community of Glen Oaks Village, named after the golf club, is a garden apartment complex of 2,864 units near the Nassau border. Construction of the two-story brick buildings began in 1945, and the first residents, many of them veterans, arrived in October 1947. Census figures show that the population increased from 4,999 in 1940 to 13,746 in 1950. The development is one of the city's largest and is home to almost 3,000 families. Numerous one-family houses also built after the war comprise the area south of Union Turnpike.
The Library's bookmobile began regular stops at the new neighborhood at the same time; in February 1950 an "extension agency" opened in the Glen Oaks shopping center at 256-25 Union Turnpike. A site at 256th street and Union Turnpike was earmarked by NYC for a new library in 1955. A private builder bought it before City budget officials approved purchase of the site. The City then rented the proposed medical building built on the site. On October 22, 1956, the Glen Oaks branch library was dedicated with speeches by Mayor Wagner, Assemblyman Wallach and Library Director Tucker. In 1975 a $60,000 renovation provided new lights, new flooring and a ramp for the handicapped. A $50,000 grant from State Senator Frank Padavan in 2001 allowed the library to upgrade the facility, including the purchase of some new shelving and furniture.
In the fall of 2009 this building was demolished and a new 18,000 square foot library was constructed on the same site.

Advantages and Disadvantages to Microwaving Bacon
We've already discussed the benefits of using stainless steel or non-stick pans when cooking your bacon, or whether baking or frying bacon is better. But what about cooking bacon in other ways? For example, what about cooking bacon in your microwave?
Now, before you go nuts – hear me out. Microwaving food may not be the most gourmet form of cooking, but it does have a few benefits. Here are a few off the top of my head.
1. Microwaving bacon is convenient. There is no pre-heating of ovens and no messy frying. If you are using a specialized bacon tray, you can just slot the bacon in, microwave it for several minutes, and it'll be cooked. The only thing you'll need to clean afterward is the tray.
2. Microwaving bacon cooks it more evenly. Frying – unless you are careful – can make some parts of the bacon cook more quickly than others. Baking can leave one side more cooked than the other. Microwaving, since it cooks from the inside out, tends to cook the bacon more evenly.
3. Like baking, you don't need to use cooking oil. If you are looking to reduce the amount of cooking oil in your life, this is a cooking options you could try. This also means that you'll generally have less bacon grease left over. (This could be a negative, depending on your point of view!)
Of course, there are a few disadvantages to this cooking method, as well.
1. Flavour. I don't think anyone would argue that microwaved bacon tastes better than baked or fried bacon. If they do argue this, they aren't cooking their bacon right or maybe they tapped into the holy grail of knowledge non of us know!
2. You can't get crispy bacon. Microwaves just don't brown bacon, and even though your bacon will be cooked, it won't be cooked very thoroughly. This helps explain its generally less than amazing flavour.
3. Adding flavouring is harder to do. You can still marinade the bacon before you microwave it, but the microwave will not create the mixture of flavours that baking or frying will do when you add sugar or pepper.
For our money, we'd stick with baking and frying – after all, anything that makes bacon taste not as delicious as it could taste is not our favourite. But if you are looking for a quick, simple meal, and you don't want to mess around with pans and oils, microwaving bacon can always be useful in a pinch. It's also particularly good if you need to pre-cook your bacon for inclusion in some other recipe, and you want to make sure your bacon is as grease-less as possible.

hi Anthony, first of all you should understand if there is a huge demand for services you offer, also estimate the level of competitiveness. If there are a lot of companies offering the same service in this region it is better to perform additional research on pricing. Make sure that you are offering affordable price services. For this purpose you can launch a small website. Before to make search engine optimization I would advise you to try Pay-Per-Click advertizing. Once you begin obtain first clients you should concentrate on service quality to establish a good reputation among clients. At the beginning you will work to establish a good reputation, but afterwards reputation and excellent reviews will work for you!

Start with the end in mind. Why do you want to run a carpet cleaning company. Is it so you can make a living, or is it a hobby, or do you want to build something so you can sell it and retire in a few years? As an entrepenuer who has experienced all of the above (some not intentionally), and as a consultant with businesses all over the U.S. ranging from carpet cleaners, to law firms, the problem many businesses if not most businesses encounter is that they don't know the what, why, when, how, etc. about their venture. I recommend that you read a book by Michael Gerber called the E-myth. It was required reading for any client who wanted to engage my services. It gave us a common language and framework from where to start. I currently am a part owner in an Austin carpet cleaning company that has set clear goals. We try to get everyone aligned so we know why and what we are trying to do with every decision we make. ---This post was edited to remove a commercial link.

You should also try marketing your services on popular local business websites such as superpages.com.

Yes as 21 year veteran in the carpet cleaning and water damage restoration business I would suggest you contact a company suplier called Jon Don. They have a program called Strategies For Success.

BizResearcher | Window Shopper | 4/13/2010 - 9:08 am
I recently completed research for a carpet cleaning business in my area that wants to expand. I learned that the carpet cleaning industry is experiencing a reduction in sales largely due to the economy (cleaning the carpet becomes a luxury when funds are tight) and the current trend toward the use of hardwood and other flooring alternatives in homes and businesses. The extreme downturn in the construction market is also making fewer homes and commercial properties available to need cleaning. There are also many, many franchise businesses in the industry and they can be hard to compete against. The trend is toward 'green' carpet cleaning processes and products, ones that don't leave an odor or leave the carpet damp, which can encourage the formation of mold or mildew. You might do a search of local carpet cleaning businesses and see how you can capitalize on something they are not doing, anything to set your business apart.
emarketed | Creator | 4/12/2010 - 11:28 am
Hi Anthony,I would start with focusing on local search. Advertise with CraigsList and add your info to the local busincess center of Google, Yahoo, Bing and other internet yellowpages. These are all free resources. You can also try Angie's List, Yelp and bulletins of your neighborhood newsletters and businesses.Once you get more business, you can reinvest it into your venture (website, better equipment etc.) Good luck!

We didn't go there for the atmosphere but sitting at the counter watching them make our food was fun. There isn't much room in the place but the sushi was wonderful. It's so close to our apartment... we'll definitely be going back and takeout too!
Posted by anonymous on 10/13/2011
It is a great place for eating regular sushi. They don't have many choices for sushi but they are very affordable!
Posted by Bellarina on 10/20/2010
I fail to comprehend how anyone who loves sushi could either call Green Rea sushi cheap or bad quality. The upside of this ridiculous review and that of Meredith is I won't ever have to vie for space at green tea sushi with your likes. In short: green tea sushi is a treasure. The sushi is fresher than at any high profile joint and the value for the money , is outsntanding. If you don't believe me, the regular sight of the Japanese patrons who visit the restaurant and its amazing and kind sushi chefs should be ample proof that sushi connoisseurs appreciate Green Tea. Disparaging the quality of this unique artisanal little sushi place means you should probably continue to get your sushi either from 7 11 or Sushi Samba
Posted by anonymous on 06/29/2010
I went there once and all the sushi my friends and I ordered looked "flimsy." Turned out the rice was way over-cooked so it couldn't hold up the contents on top of each sushi, and the seaweed wrap could not hold the rice in. Yes the sushi seemed cheap, but I'd rather go somewhere else and pay a bit more for a *real* Japanese sushi.
Posted by anonymous on 03/01/2010
this is fantastic sushi at an affordable price. most of the sushi places ive been to in chicago, new york, and CA are more expensive and less good. ive been coming here weekly for years and have had only wonderful food, good service, and kindness from the hardworking owner and staff. meredith's review shows here s how to make yourself miserable at a great restaurant...with the nicest owner/staff. the owner has so much pride in his work which is why he was trying to replace that piece for you.
Posted by Meredith S/Rebecca J on 02/13/2010
The food here is good, but I'm giving the place ONE star because of a horrifying experience I had here this evening. I loved this place but I will never return. First of all, I travel all the way from the South Side. The first course came and it was fine. But my nigiri took at LEAST 30 minutes to come after I ordered it. The first piece of nigiri was good. The second still had a bit of that irridescent connective tissue attached to it, so I couldn't bite it. Now, I probably could have sawed through with my incisors if I wanted to, but that's unappetizing. Anyway, the waitress is very slow and I had already waited 30 minutes for two pieces of nigiri so I brought the intact piece with BITE MARKS - flipped over so he could see the offending tissue that was preventing me from tearing the fish - to the sushi bar and VERY politely and VERY quietly, practically in a whisper, asked the chef in charge (who is also the owner, come to find out!), for another piece because I couldn't bite it. Next thing I know, I hear him yelling for me to come back, saying he'd "never heard of such a thing in his life" and he "gave me the best part of the fish". Now, it may have been prime meat but it still had that tendon-type stuff attached to it so I couldn't enjoy it. So he tells me that I'm wrong. That I should come and pick out the part of the fish that I want. I tell him that whatever part is fine as long as he doesn't cut it so close to the skin that that happens again. He, again, tells me I am wrong, and sarcastically cuts me a super-thin piece. I tell him that I want to leave and just will take the check instead. So he yells at me in front of the whole restaurant. Then he MAKES me take the nigiri he cut despite the fact that I just asked for the check and he doesn't even hand it to me - I had to reach over and get the dish myself. I kept saying, "can we stop arguing please?", and he yelled "no!" and kept telling me that I was wrong and rude for asking for a new cut. All this over a $1.75 piece of nigiri.

been looking for great tasting affordable sushi... i know it's almost an oxymoron but i was on a quest. for a while matsuya was the ticket for the most affordable sushi. i hated the environment and had many issues with service. green tea's restaurant is clean, although very small and the service didn't bother me. the fish is extremely fresh and this place has become my regular spot.

Only thing good was the flaming cheese. Gyro was burnt to a blankened crisp, like beef jerky. Wouldn't recommend it.

We are so excited for their new location on Northlake. The Food is wonderful. We go once a week and it never disapoints. Keep up the great work.
Posted by JennyG on 06/17/2010
I have gone to this restaurant for years when it was run by the previous owner. My husband and I used to eat there at least once a week. We had a favorite waitress who would bring our drinks out when we walked in the door...she was a gem! Then one day everything changed...the decor slightly, the ownership, the food and our waitress was gone. Even though I was sad I still was looking forward to lunch...my old stand by...a cup of avgolemono soup, hummus, greek salad and pita. Well....they changed the soup....no where near as good; didnt serve it with a lemon wedge either. The most perplexing change was the fact that they dont have any pepperoncinis!! How do you have greek salad with no pepperoncinis?? I though that maybe because they were going through a transition that things would get better once they settled in. Nope! I recently was having a craving for the greek soup and salad...I called them up and asked...do you have pepperoncinis on your salad; they said no. I said ok...thanks; hung up and went to another Greek restaurant.
Posted by L on 06/03/2009
food is excellent and authentic to my mother's homemade Greek food, I could really appreciate have a meal that to me is like home cooked. Very casual atmosphere and friendly service. Priced very reasonably and well worth every last penny!
Posted by CMM on 04/23/2008
We found this place by accident...it's caddy-corner from the better known Carmine's, and much more appealing. Its friendly atmosphere is wonderfully relaxing, and you feel you've found a real local place. The baklava was the best I've ever had...and we have a Greek neighborhood near our home! Free refills on soft drinks. We had gyros (great!), moussaka (very tasty and very homemade), roast lamb, and chicken kebab (serving was big enough for my 15-year-old son who also noted "The potatoes were great, too.") 10-minute drive from Palm Beach Shores. We're telling our snowbird relatives to come here.
Posted by Anonymous on 12/28/2007
Love it!! Food is great. Not fatty or greasy at all. Owners and employees are so nice and catering. Salads are huge and gyros are more than satisfying. Just a really great place for take out or dine in at lunch or dinner.

A signet ring can be represented with an intaglio, which is created by carving below the surface of a stone or by a simple smooth seal. Its purpose would have been to seal the wax of a letter or note.
This signet ring is particularly beautiful. From the Georgian (ca1820) era, this signet ring is made of 18kt yellow gold and has a carved carnelian center. The signet center, which is oval in shape, depicts a unique family crest and is deep orange in color. On each shoulder of the carnelian is an old Mine Cut diamond which is bezel set in sterling silver. The 2 diamonds have an approximate total weight of .10ct tw. The underside of the shank is stamped "B" and "750", while the underside of the mounting has a stunning engraved design. This fabulous ring would make a beautiful addition to any collection!
Measurements: The carnelian seal measures a little less than 1/2" wide and slightly less than 3/4" tall. The ring has a small finger size of 4.5, but it could easily be resized.
Condition: The overall condition of the ring is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the gold mounting or to the carnelian stone. Both diamonds are intact.

Try to find a .pdf of "Exploding Fireworks." There is an excellant chapter on cherry bombs. If you have trouble finding it, PM me with your email address and I'll send you a copy.
About the sodium silicate, I resently found Red Devil Heavy Duty Cleaner, which says it contains sodium metasilicate. It is a white, chrystaline substance with a much slightly smaller than table salt. when added to water, the water becomes "slick." I'm 99% positive this isn't useful, but I thought I'd ask anyways. I don't really want to order from CAC if I don't have to, so a local source would be VERY nice.
Posted 03 August 2006 - 06:58 AM
I used to buy Cherry Bombs, M-80's, and Silver Salutes, as a kid.
The real ones, not the shit they sell today and call Cherry Bomb or M-80 or M-160.
Then, of course, the government reared its ugly head and the Nannies made them illegal.
But to answer a previous question:
Cherry Bombs were smaller than a ping-pong ball. And yes, 1" cup sets were used. IIRC, the diameter of a FINISHED one was only 1.25-1.50 inches. You can still buy the exact same cup sets today. Look here:
Part number PC1050 is the traditional 1" cup set.
The PC0850 is a 3/4" cup set and could be used too.

i guess these would probably make the same amount of oise as those old m-80s! Quite impressive little things! though if i were to make them. then it'd be for recreational purposes only-as they're too much effort to make often. if it were to be made be using layers upon layers of sodium silicate then i'd assume it take ages to complete!
Posted 29 August 2006 - 12:31 AM
and it was a little bigger than a dime and a little taller than a dime standing up. So the pin pong sized cherry bomb is in my opinion "bullshit".

By the way, being new to pyrotechnics and asking about flash too quickly is frowned upon. Flash is dangerous stuff and should only be attempted once you have a better handle on pyrotechnics.

pink kiity
I watch them both on as the world turns and i think there both very good actors and i happy they will be on ours soaps now but i have a feeling they wont be on long, i welcome them as i welcome the three from guiding light,
I agree, i was totally upset when i heard she was coming in as Diane, i can't picture her with Victor at all. She is much younger. I was hoping she would be a new character as well. A part of me was hoping Carly and Jack would have made their way onto another soap together. It would have made sense for them to go to Bold and the Beautiful seeing as Carly was a fashion designer. And god knows that soap needs some help. To me Maura will always be my beloved Carly who will always be totally in love with her G-man!!
Quote PurrrrrrrKitty: I love, love, love Maura West... she has won two Emmy's... but she is a recast of a character that was introduced 25 years ago as a love triangle between Jack and Victor... I hope she can pull that off...
I had hoped she would enter the show as a new character.
Victor (Eric Braden) is now 68 and Jack is now 58..... Maura is 38..
The two actresses that played that character are in their early 50's.
Have my fingers and toes crossed for her success!!!!!

Ever thought about repairing musical instruments?
Musical instrument repair programs prepare people to build, repair, and maintain musical instruments. Students learn to clean, tune, and repair all types of instruments. They also learn to instruct customers in tuning and caring for instruments.
At Colorado Institute Of Musical Instrument Technology (CIOMIT) we offer education and training in the field of musical instrument repair, focusing on the disciplines of brass, woodwind, strings, and percussion. This includes oboe, bassoon, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, flute, guitar, violin, and more! We teach the skills and knowledge that can be used to pursue a career as a musical instrument technician; taught by some of the foremost leaders in the field.
The musical instrument repair field is always in need of quality repair technicians. You can choose to work for a Music Store or hang your own shingle as many of or CIOMIT graduates have done. It is a business you can do from home or in a small retail storefront. You will need additional experience to become an accomplished technician after training at CIOMIT, but with our on going support and after care you will be able to achieve your goal of becoming an musical instrument technician.
CIOMIT has a number of scholarships specially set aside for Wounded Warriors. If you have an interest in repairing musical instruments we encourage you to call or write Daniel Parker, President of CIOMIT. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com, or by telephone at 303-663-4084.

Future Role Of Natural Gas And Shale Revolution Dominate At P&GJ's 2010 Pipeline Opportunities Conference
P&GJ's 2010 Pipeline Opportunities Conference
Turning to the Marcellus Shale, McKerlie views the supply as a suite of projects that will come on in time to meet existing demand. One of these is his company's Team 2012 project that involves a 200,000 Mcf/d expansion of the existing Texas Eastern Transmission system to deliver additional Appalachian and Marcellus Shale natural gas supplies to markets in the Northeast that is on track for service in November 2012.
He said the company's New Jersey-New York expansion involves an extension to the Texas Eastern system to move gas from the Algonquin system to Marcellus receipt points and then to Manhattan.
"It is a buildable project that will take about two years to construct, including a crossing of the Hudson River. We look forward to putting it into service in 2013. The facilities themselves have some compression reversals, pipe that will be lifted and replaced and the obvious extension that goes from our existing system up to New Jersey and under the Hudson River to Manhattan," he said.
El Paso's Tom Price, vice president, Marketing & Business Development, offered an extensive look on the progress of the Ruby Pipeline, a 675-mile system connecting the Opal Hub in southwestern Wyoming to the Malin Hub in Oregon. It will have four receipt points and four delivery points. It will interconnect with the Paiute Pipeline which serves northern Nevada and the Reno area. In Malin, it will have access to Tuscarora, also serving Reno, GTN, serving the Pacific Northwest and the CTT backbone system of PG&E that serves northern California.
Price said much had changed since they started marketing Ruby. In 2009 alone more than 5.4 Bcf of new pipeline capacity was built crossing the divide of the eastern vs. western market. "When you add on the additional LNG and development of Marcellus, we feel there is basically an oversupply push and project push east," he said. "When you look nationally at the development of the shales, Ruby is the only major project that continues to head west which we feel is going to be the premium market for the Rocky Mountain supplies."
Price said a unique characteristic about Ruby was the early decision to make it a green or carbon-neutral pipeline. This was done in a collaborative effort between El Paso's shippers and developers to minimize the carbon footprint by using internal coating and techniques to minimize friction losses. "Also, we will be using e-tags to offset any CO2 produced during the operation of the pipeline to achieve carbon neutrality," he said.
