WESTERN PARTY IDEAS FOR INVITATIONS
Cow Bell Invites - Either paint your guests' names on the outside of each cow bell or create some labels and attach them to each bell. Cut 8 1/2" x 11" piece of aged looking scrapbook paper into four pieces. Type or handwrite the party details. Hole-punch the pages and attach one invite to each cow bell with twine. Hand-deliver the invites. To make it more fun and get the party interest rolling, deliver the invites dressed in western attire.
Cowboy Hat Invites - Create the paper invites as noted above, attach one to each colorful cowboy hat with instructions to your guests, to be sure and wear their "invites" to the party.
WESTERN PARTY IDEAS FOR DECORATIONS
First of all, if at all possible try to hold your party in a barn or at a ranch, which will obviously give you an instant western feel and backdrop for your party. If this isn't doable, then roll up your sleeves and get ready to transform your party area into the Old West.
- Hang a welcome sign that read's something like, "Welcome To Pete & Sandy's O.K. Corral."
- Sprinkle hay on the floor.
- Make painted signs out of old pieces of wood and hang them in your party area. The signs can say things like "Giddyup", "Chuck Wagon", "Howdy Pardner", "Haberdashery", "Dude Ranch", "Old West", etc.
- Use western style rope as garland or barbwire garland to decorate and western-up an area.
- Lay plastic or rubber snakes (the more realistic the better) around the grounds to add an authentic western feel. If they happen to scare a guest or two, all the better.
- Place various sized cactus plants around the party area.
- Cover your tables with denim or burlap fabrics, or in the alternative use gingham.
- Create a floral centerpiece using an old metal coffee pot.
- Line cowboy hats with bandanas and fill with chips, trail mix, and nuts or bowls of munchies.
- If you have a fireplace or fire pits, be sure to light them up.
WESTERN PARTY IDEAS FOR FOOD
When it comes time to rustle up some grub, if you're looking for an easy meal, serve your buckaroos chili, cornbread, and a green salad.
If you'd rather serve up the Chuck Wagon special, then opt for anything barbecue. Ribs, chicken, tri-tip, or steaks are a great start. Round out the meal with a green salad, beans, corn on the cob, and garlic bread.

Metal Detectors to Get That Rare Find
The first metal detector was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in the year 1881, just after the invention of telephone in 1876. Later, Fischer came out with a portable one in the year 1931. Today, metal detectors are used in many fields starting from treasure hunt to security purposes.
These are electronic devices and are used to locate signs of metal. It is used to search on the ground, people or goods. The materials can be on the ground may be a piece of iron, aluminum, etc or it can even indicate buried metal could be anything from discarded pieces of aluminum to buried resources. These detectors can penetrate various non-metallic substances like soil, wood, sand, etc.
Metal detectors have electronic boxes with a battery case on one end and a handle for the operative's arm on the other. It has a coil made of insulated wire wound around a telescoping shaft that is inside a plastic disk. The device is held parallel to the ground due to the angle at which the disk comes out of the shaft. The electronic box is held in the hand, the power is put on and the coil end is slowly swept over the ground. If the trace of metal is there on or buried in the ground, an electronic beep is heard when the device sweeps the ground.
The discovery of Electromagnetism was by Hans Christian Oersted in the year 1820. It is the science of combined effect of electric and magnetic field. As stated in wikipedia, Electromagnetism is the science of the electromagnetic field. That is, a field, surrounding all of space, which exerts a force on those particles that possess the property of electric charge, and is in turn affected by the presence and motion of such particles.
This principle of electromagnetism is on which the Metal detectors work. Since the metals are good conductor of electricity and magnetism, the electromagnetism affects on them. Magnetic field is generated in this device through the transmitter (high-powered coil), getting power from the battery attached. When this electromagnetic field penetrates the ground the metals tend to get charged with magnetism. When this happens the coil detects the electromagnetic behaviour and sends a signal to the electronic box. The speaker attached to the electronic box beeps and the operator hears it and comes to know of the presence of metal. The latest detectors comprises of microprocessors in the electronic box that can give you the type of metal present. It can measure the time between charging of metal and the receiving the beep that concludes the type of metal and this length of time is known as phase shift. There are adjustments in the device when searching for a particular kind of metal.
There are 3 types of metal detectors following 3 different technologies:
1. Beat Frequency Oscillator: Such detectors have a coil acting as an inductor inside an oscillator. With frequency change there is a change in inductance. There is a second oscillator that generates a close frequency. The beeps heard between them indicate the presence of metal.
2. Induction Balance Detector: This type has 2 coils that overlie each other. One sends waves and the other receives. The two are kept adjusted so that when there is absence of metal they do not indicate or beep.
3. Pulse Induction Detector: This type produces pulses by putting off an indicator. A coil sends the pulse and the detector searches for echos.
If you have a metal detector, I wish you luck in finding all kinds of treasures. You never know what "rare find" you'll come up with, and it's fun to look.

What is this Metal pipe type percussion instrument sometimes used in Taiko performances?
I've been to a few different Taiko performances (Japanese drumming) and I noticed that they often incorporate a strange instrument that looks like a large metal pipe, with a larger diameter in the middle, and smaller diameters on each side, played horizontally and hit with small metal sticks. It is not a Vibraphone or Tubular bells. It is one large solid pipe laid horizontally about 1 - 2 feet long producing only about 3 tones. What is this instrument? I can't find any information about it.
kane
The kane is a type of bell from Japan. The same pronunciation of the word in Japanese can also mean metal or money. It is a tradition in Japan to ring the large Buddhist temple bells 108 times a few minutes before the new year. This tradition is called "jooya no kane." Often accompanying Japanese folk music, or min'you, is a dish-shaped "kane," or bell. It is often hung on a bar, and the player holds the bell in place with one hand, and beats the kane with a specialized mallet with the other. There are two specific sounds that the kane makes: "chin" and "kon." Chin, is when the mallet hits the interior sides of the bell, while kon is when the mallet hits the flat round inner face. When teachers of the kane dictate a rhythm for students to imitate, he/she does so using the vocables "chin" and "kon." IE- "kon kon chiki-chin kon chiki chiki chin kon kon..."
*add
i know you're looking for pipe type. but normally japanese taiko performer use this type of 'kane'. i couldnt find pipe type
