I'm going for a jug (you can kind of see it in the shadow). The things that made it hard for me were that by this point on the route I was pumped, the sloper that I'm on wasn't that good, and the feet here suck (my right foot must have popped 3 or 4 times before I finally got the move my first time on the route, and my left foot is basically pasted on nothing).
It's a cool route. Before you get to this part there is a fairly long (by Black Cliffs standards) and sustained technical dihedral, and after this move there are still a few more big reaches to good holds on the overhanging face above. All the top stuff would be easy on the ground, the trick is getting to it without too much of a pump.

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- Whistleblowers A whistleblower is any individual providing the SEC with original information related to a possible violation of federal securities law. The Dodd-Frank Act established a whistleblower program that enables the SEC to reward individuals who voluntarily provide such information.
- Code of Ethics Rule The Code of Ethics Rule, found in Rule 204A-1, uses severe consequences for violation to help ensure investment advisors will do the right thing.
Senator Tim Johnson, D-SD, on Thursday was officially named chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
Johnson (left) said in a statement after he was named that as the nation continues to come out of the worst recession since the Great Depression, that he's "committed to an agenda to restore our economy, make our financial regulations world class, and ensure that consumers and investors are meaningfully protected." From the perspective of the Banking Committee, he continued, "this will include overseeing the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and beginning housing finance reform."
Johnson replaces Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., who retired. Johnson went on to say that he's committed to working with his colleagues "on both sides of the aisle, the White House, regulators, consumer groups, industry and international regulators on oversight of reform."
The ranking minority member on the Committee is Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala.
He noted that the Administration's recommendations on housing finance reform are expected to be released in the near future and "that will generate discussion and help move the debate along." Johnson said he looks "forward to an open dialogue to build consensus around a viable path forward. I do not want to further destabilize housing markets or make homeownership unaffordable for the majority of Americans."
He added that as he's demonstrated throughout his career in Congress that he wants "to keep politics on the back burner and focus on good policy."

Cultsee all genres ›
Setting aside "good taste" for better flavor, the cult film gains its name from the cult-like following it can inspire. Ritualistic midnight screenings are historically crucial ingredients for a film cult to develop. Cohering around particular directors, actors, genres and subcultures, the cult film manages to entertain via nostalgia long after the "use by" date has passed.

Recent World reviews
"My family of 8 adults spent a week at Donna's condo over New Years. Even though it is just a 2 bedroom, we were all very comfortable. We would pack a lunch and spend all day at the beach. We would either access through through the Reef Club, or if they were full, walk down to the public access. Evenings, we would walk down to the shops and restaurants on 5th Ave. Even though it would be dark, we never felt unsafe. The condo was stocked with all that was needed to make it feel like home. The pool and grounds were beautiful and clean. The condos were quiet. We did have a car and were able to drive for groceries and to see some of the sites farther away, but you could get by with out one. Donna was very helpful before and after our trip providing information and answering any questions we had. Our family had a wonderful time together and made memories that we will cherish forever. I would highly recommend this condo and hope to return to it as well."Guest: Dalene Date of Stay: December 2014 Review Submitted: March 16, 2015View listing

"This was the perfect place to get out of those cold northern winters!!! We loved watching the golfers while we relaxed at the beautiful heated pool. This unit was well equipped and clean. We did not want to leave. We were close to the beach, close to shopping and close to golfing. We hated to leave. Thank you Patrick and family for a wonderful vacation."Guest: Ohio friends Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: March 2, 2015View listing
"We had a good stay, it was nice on short notice to find something reasonable when our original plan didn't work out. We enjoyed the views and the condo was nicely appointed. We did struggle with the fact the sofa bed air mattress wouldn't stay inflated and it was a bit of a hassle to have to re inflate it every night during the night but we made the best of the situation. Hopefully the problem was fixed and I'm sure future guests can enjoy a full nights rest on the inflated mattress. Overall the vacation went well. Thanks"Guest: Suzi Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: July 29, 2015View listing

'Pedal Power' May Help Homeless Find, Keep Work
Organizations in Chattanooga, Tenn., are providing bicyles so homeless people won't have to rely on others for transportation to their jobs. The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports the bikes will come from donations and will be repaired with money from a program started by the mayor.
STEVE INSKEEP, host:
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. The city of Chattanooga is trying to solve one of those small but maddening problems with poverty. Even when they find a job, homeless people sometimes struggle to make it to work on time. Their ride doesn't show. The bus doesn't run. Your life falls behind. Now, hundreds of the homeless should be able to get around, so long as they don't mind a little sweat. A Chattanooga program is providing bicycles for people sleeping in shelters or on the streets.

is our summary of our stay at this Riad!
My partner and I were in Marrakech for 3 nights from 13 Oct and from the pre-booking of the airport taxi to the taxi journey back to the airport, we were very impressed by the standard and high quality of service given by the Riad.
The manager, Laurent, welcomed us on arrival and alongside one of his staff, made us feel very welcome by explaining the history of Marrakech, the things we could do during our stay and showed us how to get to and from the Riad to the main square. It was my birthday on the first night of our stay and I had a beautiful surprise awaiting me on return from our evening out...
Breakfast and dinner is prepared in-house and we were able to have these on the terrace at a time that suited us. Nothing was too much trouble and if we had any questions, Laurent or his wonderful staff were always on hand to help. Laurent loves his job and this is displayed in his effortless charm (and wit)!
If you want a relaxing break with great service, I highly recommend this Riad as you feel as if you are the only ones there, such is the personal attention given. We will definitely return...

Well, the good thing is that I finished it and can now say I've read it. I didn't like it very much though... The main character (apparently Burroughs) presents his addiction as a cold factual situation which he could, and did, overcome at will. I think his gender, his age, his race and his economic station at the point of his addiction played a pivotal and yet unacknowledged role in his theories and "advice" for dealing with a junk addiction. I'm pretty sure he was not smarter than the medical experts and I suspect his descent into junk addiction played a bigger role in his "great" understandings of how to kick or cure the habit than did any factual reality.
I guess it's one of those books everyone who "reads literature", or, at least, reads American literature has to say they've read... so I've done that. Now I'm going to go drink too much wine and see what theories of alcohol addiction and recovery I can pull out of my rear-end.
Pretty crazy read. This guy has seen and done some shit and most of this book, as the title suggests, is about his experiences with drugs, particularly Heroin.
We follow him as he goes through his daily quest to get high. Sometimes he is selling and we learn about the hassles and pitfalls of dealing with customers who are always asking for something on tick. We hear his opinions on weed, coke, speed, time spent in jail.
It is quite sobering and something that takes you down into the dirty parts of this lifestyle. Nothing is glorified and polished and if you ever to know what this world is like, this guy has done it so you dont have too.
This semi-autobiographical narrative was a very interesting read for the fact that it deals in depth with drug culture in a time that I was not even aware there was one. I also had absolutely no clue that Burroughs was from St. Louis.
I understand why people love this book, it wasn't for me. I don't necessarily have to have the beginning, middle, end plot standard, but I do need to feel that a story is going somewhere. This was just ramblings to me. It didn't work for me. I listened to the audiobook and didn't particularly love the narrator, either.

Before his 1959 breakthrough, Naked Lunch, an unknown William S. Burroughs wrote Junk, his first book, a candid, eyewitness account of times and places that are now long gone. This book brings them vividly to life again; it is an unvarnished field report from the American postwar underground. For this definitive 50th-anniversary edition, eminent Burroughs scholar Oliver Harris has painstakingly re-created the author's original text, word by word, from archival typescripts. Here for the first time are Burroughs's own unpublished Introduction and an entire omitted chapter, along with many "lost" passages and auxiliary texts by Allen Ginsberg and others. Harris's comprehensive Introduction reveals the composition history of Junk's text and places its contents against a lively historical background.

"Before his 1959 breakthrough, Naked Lunch, an unknown William S. Burroughs wrote Junk, his first novel. It is a candid eye-witness account of times and places that are now long gone, an unvarnished field report from the American post-war underground." "Unafraid to portray himself in 1953 as a confirmed member of two socially-despised under classes (a narcotics addict and a homosexual), Burroughs was writing as a trained anthropologist when he unapologetically described a way of life - in New York, New Orleans, and Mexico City - that by the 1940's was already demonized by the artificial anti-drug hysteria of an opportunistic bureaucracy and a cynical, prostrate media." "For this fiftieth-anniversary edition, eminent Burroughs scholar Oliver Harris has painstakingly recreated the author's original text, word by word, from archival typescripts and places the book's contents against a lively historical background in a comprehensive introduction. Here as well, for the first time, are Burroughs' own unpublished introduction and an entire omitted chapter, along with many "lost" passages, as well as auxiliary texts by Allen Ginsberg and others."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)

Stopover with a cruise
Very convenient location to downtown and transportation.
Very helpful staff.
Shop til you drop
A fantastic Location by Wynyard Station, with tons of shopping very close by! Walking distance t many key tourist points including Darling Harbour, Circular Quay, QVB, etc. A great location to head out for a run and see many of the sights every
Internet was very expensive and inconsistent in keeping a connection, but at least they had it at all.
The room looked clean at first glance, but vents, under furniture and the ceiling of the bath were not. There were not very many plugs to charge items. I had to unplug lamps to charge my mobile.
QVB, Westfield, Pitt Street Mall, The Strand and lots more are just a few quick block a way! Check them all out and enjoy the fabulous stores! Also, Wynyard Station is directly across the street and there is lots of food and shopping there for a quick shopping run.
Superb central location
Friendly , helpful concierge and staff; spacious bedroom with two queen size beds; very quiet room; location perfect for walking to all the major tourist sights, the Rocks, Circular Quay, Opera House, Darling Harbour, QV B building; opposite
Wynard bus/ train station for transport to both air terminals. Would definitely stay at this hotel again.
Breakfast in one of the several small cafes at the Rocks and evening meal at the Italian restaurant Circular Quay opposite ticket booths, very good Wifi here.
Would not recommend
not 4 stars
This was not a good value and would never be a place I would stay at again.
Menzies great value hotel
Good location and great service . Andrew Austen, Hotel Concierge. Very helpful not only with us and with other Hotel guests. He provided the extra touch that made it easy for us to navigate Sydney. Transportation, tickets to the Opera House and
various attraction.
The Hotel is convenient to all transportation hubs and walking distance to most everything. Recommend.
Use a local for inside information that may not be available from the Hotel.
An Excellent Stay in Sydney
I had to change my reservation more than once and the Menzies was more than accommodating! Location was perfect. We didn't have a car and was able to come directly from the airport using the train and the tram stopped directly in front of the
hotel. We were able to walk to all of the highlights of Sydney and the biggest compliment goes to the concierge, Andrew! He helped us in many ways including assisting us with a bellman to take a bag that needed to be shipped across Australia. A must stay in Sydney!
Our room had not been cleaned properly when we checked in (sticky glass marks on at least 3 surfaces) so we went out for an hour to give them the opportunity to sort it out. On our return, nothing had been done so we were moved to a "better room"
- I would hate to see worse. If I hadn't paid in advance for the room, I would have left. Two bottles on water were left on the bedside tables which I assumed were complimentary - had I drunk it, we would have been charged $8 per bottle! Don't mind paying over the odds, but this was a complete rip off and made us very wary of the charges for anything else. The rooms were last decorated in the 1980s and the furniture was way past its best. Find somewhere else to stay.
Do the Sydney harbour bridge walk -well worth it.
close but wanting
The Menzies is in the perfect location to a new visitor to Sydney. It is literally across the street from a nice train station and park that connects to the airport while still being in the middle of the city. The staff are pleasant though i
didn't get the wake up call the last day. The hotel is quite old. By itself that is not negative but the impact is visible. WIFI is ridiculously expensive for any hotel in the world. That alone makes the hotel questionable as a choice for any business traveler.
good value
We had previously stayed at this hotel & had a classier room, the room this time was a bit shabby & in need of a re-furb, but it was large & comfortable although very little wardrobe space.
It was not the room as advertised on-line.
The staff
were very helpful & room service meals were excellent.
We would stay there again.
quick trip to sydney
i was in sydney for only a few days, never been before, so i wanted somewhere close to the main attractions of the city. the hotel itself is in a business district, but it's all within alking distance to the main sights, like the opera house and
darling harbor. the room was a little small but perfect for a single traveller, the bathroom was a little awkwardly placed but not a big issue. the room was very clean. i didn't go to the pool or any of the bars or restaurants. the staff was very helpful when i needed to get train timetables. there is free internet in the lobby for 30 min and the price in your room is very high, but this seems very typical for australia.
Very Nice Stay
Stayed one night after a cruise. Room was clean and comfortable, especially the bed. Very convenient to the Rocks and business district. Free shuttle ran just around the corner from the hotel and subway to airport was just across the street. Staff
was friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it and stay here again.
Taxis are expensive. Free shuttle is just around the corner and subway is just across the street.

Portable set for outdoor Tea Ceremony
From Japan
Edo period, 17th-18th century AD
A set of teabowl, caddy, napkin-holder, tea-whisk and holder, and a container
Tea Ceremonies were often held outside, especially when combined with the viewing of cherry blossoms or the colours of autumn. Sets of tea utensils were chosen to enhance the feeling of the season.
This group of objects is a fine example of how the Tea Ceremony brought into harmony a number of objects of varying style, material and origin
The teabowl is
E-Karatsu ('picture Karatsu') type pottery from
Hizen Province, painted with simple motifs in underglaze iron
brown. The rim has been repaired with gold and silver lacquer which
has in turn been incised with a wave motif. The caddy (second from
right) is probably of Takatori pottery from Chikuzen Province and
has a turned ivory lid. The tea-whisk is made from a single node of
bamboo. It has been split and split again. The two sets of tines
are separated by steaming, curving and by threading at the base.
The whisk-holder is made of woven bamboo. The paper napkin-holder
is porcelain decorated in underglaze blue. The lacquer container
was made later to fit the teabowl. It is richly decorated in gold

Here is my latest column from Patheos. In it I look at the role of silence in the life of Christian monastics (monks and nuns) and then reflect on what that means for those of us who feel called to the contemplative life even though we do not live in a cloister. Hope you enjoy it…
Silence Is Not a Vow
Related posts from A Contemplative Faith:
"True spiritual silence is far more than the mere absence of noise; just as true love is far more than the absence of hatred or fear. Silence, embraced for spiritual reasons, opens us up to the hidden presence of God in our lives."
Yes indeed – thank you.
Thank you for writing this article Carl….silencing to read.
Your article points to grace-filled spiritual experience of a silence, that bears the fruit of an inner shift from 'who I am' to 'that I am by grace'…..a silence filled with a love too noisy even for our spiritual ears!

United States Patent Ofifice 3,368,682 Patented Feb. 13, 1968 3,368,682 SYSTEM FOR REGENERATING COOKING OIL Arthur A. Boots, 411 W. Central St., Carthage, Mo. 64836 Filed Dec. 23, 1964, Ser. No. 420,549 2 Claims. (Cl. 210121) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A cooking oil regenerating system having an oil reservoir and a cooking vessel. A control circuit operates electrically responsive valves and pumps to normally flow the oil through a filtering circuit to remove impurities suspended in the oil. The control circuit also operates electrically responsive valves and pumps to bypass the filter and to flow the oil at increased pressure through a strainer circuit and into the vessel to flush impurities from the cooking vessel. A flexible outlet facilitates manual manipulation of the oil stream to assist in the flushing operation.
This invention relates to a system for filtering particulate impurities from cooking oil or the like and, more particularly, to such a system for use in deep fat frying operations which will provide optimum cooking results.
Deep fat frying is a common technique utilized in present-day restaurant operations. Although quite popular, deep fat frying presents a problem in that particulate materials accumulate in the cooking oil during use, necessitating that the fryer be periodically cleaned since much of this material does not become suspended in the cooking oil but, instead, forms a sediment in the bottom of the frying tank which will impair the taste of the food cooked therein if allowed to accumulate. However, previous efforts to obviate this difficulty, such as by filtering the cooking oil as it is pumped through a supply system, have not proven satisfactory because only the particles in suspension in the oil can be removed by such a system.
As an additional complication, the cooking oil is quite hot during use (approximately 350 F.) and, therefore, changing of the oil is a hazardous operation. Manifestly, much time is lost if the restaurant operator waits for the oil to cool before attempting to clean the fryer tank. Of course, the oil may simply be discarded, but this is expensive since, to be assured that the cooked product has the proper taste, the sediment in the tank should be removed frequently.
Heretofore, conventional filtering systems have also been plagued by the tendency of the sediment to clog the filtering system. Thus, to avoid clogging of the filter systerm, it has been necessary for the operator to manually break up the mass of settled material and drain the same from the cooking tank at the end of a days operation or whenever the tank is to be cleaned. This involves manually stirring the mass of material and attempting to strain it through a fabric sack or bag as the oil is drained from the tank.
It is, therefore, the primary object of this invention to provide a means for regenerating cooking oil or the like to maintain the same free from particulate impurities whether suspended in the oil or present in the form of a sediment.
It is another object of this invention to provide a regenerating system as aforesaid which supplies the cooking tank with filtered oil during use and also provides a means for flushing the tank after use to remove the collected impurities therefrom without loss of cooking oil from the supply system.
Still another object of this invenion is to provide such a system that will rapidly and safely effect the flushing operation when it is desired to clean the tank without the necessity of the operator allowing the oil to cool or manipulating the tank in any way.
Other objects will become apparent as the detailed description proceeds.
In the drawing:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic representation of the regenerating system; and
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the electrical control circuitry.
The numeral 10 designates a vessel in the form of a fryer tank which is adapted to hold a quantity of cooking oil therein. The approximate normal level of the oil is indicated at 12. An electrical heating element 14 may be utilized to heat the oil to the desired temperaturefor cooking purposes. It is pointed out that vessel 10 has been illustrated only diagrammatically in the drawing and that those skilled in the art will recognize that vessel 10 may be of suflicient size to accommodate any desired frying structure as may be utilized in the cooking operation. Further, the precise location of the oil inlet (to be described hereinafter) with respect to the open top of the vessel may be chosen to permit operator access to the vessel without undue danger of contact by heated oil, all as will be readily apparent to those skilled in this art.
Oil for vessel 10 is supplied by a reservoir 16. A drainpipe 18 communicates the bottom of vessel 10 with a T 20 which joins the pipe with a valve 22, a pump24, and a conduit 26 communicating with the bottom of reservoir 16. Pump 24 is utilized to return oil from vessel 10 to reservoir 16. Oil from the reservoir is supplied to the vessel by a pump 28 which operates continuously and feeds the oil through a filter 30 and along conduit 32 to a flexible tube 34 having a discharge outlet 36. Tube 34 is disposed above the open top of vessel 10 and directs the discharging oil into the vessel to replace oil drawn therefrom by pump 24.
Since pump 28 operates continuously, oil is always discharging from outlet 36 and, therefore, the level 12 in vessel 10 tends to rise, This causes a corresponding drop in the oil level 38 of reservoir 16 which is monitored by a float 40 connected to an arm 42 pivotally mounted on the side of the reservoir. A mercury switch 44 is mounted on arm 42 so as to be responsive to movement thereof caused by vertical shifting of float 40 with changes in the oil level 38 of reservoir 16. As will be described more fully hereinafter, switch 44 controls the energization of pump 24 and effects pump operation when the oil level 38 falls to a predetermined value. It should be understood that various level responsive control means could be utilized, the float and mercury switch arrangement being shown herein as illustrative only.
Filter 30 is shown having four filter elements 46 connected in parallel by an inlet manifold 48 and an outlet manifold 50, the latter being communicated with conduit 32 while the inlet manifold 48 is in communication with the outlet of pump 28. Filter elements 46 may comprise any one of a number of well-known filtering devices such as, for example, a disposable filter of the type in widespread use in vehicles for filtering crankcase oil.
A strainer 52 is utilized when it is desired to flush sediment or other collected impurities from vessel 10. The strainer has a distribution chamber 54 which is com municated with drainpipe 18 at T 20 by a pump line 56 having a valve 58 in series with a pump 60. Chamber 54 communicates oil flowing thereinto to a number of porous bags or sacks 62 which rest on a perforated plate 64. The outlet from strainer 52 is taken from the bottom thereof beneath plate 64 and is communicated with reservoir 16 by a pipe 66. Straining of the oil is accomplished by the porous bags 62 which may be discarded and replaced after each straining operation. A bypass 68 shunting filter 30 may be rendered operative by opening a valve 70 therein to eliminate the pressure drop across filter 30 and substantially increase the discharge force of the oil emanating from outlet 36 to flush collected impurities from the vessel for passage to the strainer.
During normal operation when vessel is being utilized for cooking purposes, the pumping circuit comprising pump 28 and conduit 32 which supplies oil to the vessel, and drain pipe 18 and pump 24 which returns oil to the reservoir from the vessel, functions to maintain oil level 12 Within a desired range and continuously filter the oil. At this time, valve 22 is open and valves 58 and 70 are closed. The valves are solenoid-controlled, and pumps 24, 28 and 60 are operated by electric motors illustrated schematically in FIG. 2 and indicated by the same reference numerals as the pumps which they drive.
In FIG. 2, terminals 74 and 76 of the control circuitry there shown are coupled with a suitable source of electrical power (not shown). Closure of switch 72 renders the circuitry operative, causing continuous operation of pump 28. A two-position selector switch 78 is shown engaging its upper contact, this position of switch 78 cffecting operation of the pump circuit to continually supply vessel 10 with filtered oil and maintain the level 12 therein. In this mode of operation, a solenoid 80 for controlling valve 22 is maintained in its energized state to hold valve 22 open.
Valve 70 is operated by a solenoid 82 which is under the control of a normally open switch 84. Valve 58 is operated by a solenoid 86 which is energized when switch 78 is moved to its other position establishing a circuit through the lower contact thereof. Valves 22, 58 and 70 are closed when the corresponding solenoids are de-energized and open upon energization thereof. Thus, when the control circuitry is in the condition as illustrated in FIG. 2, only the valve 22 will be open, permitting oil to flow from vessel 10 to reservoir 16 when pump 24 is in operation.
Since pump 28 runs continuously, oil from reservoir 16 is at all times flowing into vessel 10 and raising the oil level 12 thereof. This, in turn, decreases the level 38 of the oil in reservoir 16 and, once a predetermined minimum level is reached, mercury switch 44 closes and pump 24 commences operation; In this manner, the oil in vessel 10 is prevented from overflowing the vessel and is intermittently returned to reservoir 16 for subsequent filtering by filter 30.
It should be understood that filter 30 will only be effective to any great extent in the removal of impurities in suspension in the oil. Other particles which settle to the bottom of vessel 10 or tend to cling to the walls thereof will, for the most part, remain in vessel 10 since there will not be a continual current of oil flowing through the vessel to flush these impurities therefrom. Manifestly, to maintain the cooking oil at the desired temperature and prevent excessive agitation thereof which would interfere with the cooking, supply of oil to the vessel and removal therefrom by the filter circuit must be relatively gradual.
At the end of a days operation, for example, when it is desired to purge the vessel of collected impurities, switch 78 is operated to establish a circuit through its lower contact, thereby disabling pump 24 and de-energizing solenoid 80 to close valve 22. Simultaneously, valve 53 is opened by energization of solenoid 86 and pump 60 is placed in operation. The cumulative effect of this action is to drain the oil from vessel 10 and direct this oil to reservoir 16 while simultaneously permitting filtered oil to be supplied to vessel 10 by way of conduit 32. Then, once the oil is completely drained from vessel 10 or pumped down to a low level, closure of switch 84 energizes solenoid 82 to open valve 70 and permit the oil emanating from the outlet of pump 28 to flow through bypass 68 to conduit 32. Here again, those skilled in this art will recognize that strainer 52 and its associated lines will have sufficient capacity to permit substantial or complete emptying of oil from vessel 10. The pressure drop formerly encountered by pumping the oil through filter 30 is thus eliminated, resulting in a substantial increase in the discharge force of the oil flowing from outlet 36. This high pressure stream serves to flush the sediment or other collected impurities from the walls and bottom of vessel 10, whereupon the oil with these impurities entrained therein is pumped to the strainer 52 where the impurities are collected in the bags 62 and the strained oil permitted to flow to reservoir 16. Manifestly, after cleaning of the vessel, switch 84 may be opened and selector switch 78 returned to the position shown to again prepare the vessel for cooking.
An important feature of the instant invention is the provision of the flexible tube 34 which is disposed above the open top of the vessel. This allows the operator to direct the high velocity flushing stream against the walls and bottom of the vessel to provide eflicient flushing action and dislodging of the impurities. Due to the heat of the oil, tube 34 will likely be quite hot and, therefore, should be manually manipulated by tongs to protect the operator.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
1. Apparatus for regenerating cooking oil or the like to maintain the same free from impurities, said apparatus comprising:
an open top vessel adapted to contain a quantity of said oil;
an oil supply reservoir;
a conduit communicating the reservoir with the vessel for flow of oil thereinto from the reservoir;

Triangle Taper Saltwater Floating Fly Line
Triangle Taper Saltwater Floating Fly Line
Of the many innovations that Lee Wulff
has contributed to fly fishing, the Triangle Taper
fly line is perhaps the most popular. Winner of the coveted Kudo award,
the triangle taper offers the greatest delicacy of any fly line. The Triangle
Taper is a continuous forward taper in the head of the line, which provides the most efficient transfer of casting energy as it unrolls because the heavier line is
constantly turning over lighter line. This design also gives you a more
delicate presentation because the weight is away from the fly. It is also
the finest roll casting line for up to 60' casts. The combination of a long
weighted section and a light running line make the triangle taper cast
like a shooting head for distance. The tip end can be customized by cutting
it back for the desired performance level.
Triangle Taper Saltwater Floating lines are all
105 feet long and feature a short forward
taper of 30 feet, and a 75' running line. J3 coating on floating
line only.
Floating, Mint Green 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
Floating, Mint Green
J3 Coating
Flies farther – Floats higher – Lasts longer
Triangle Taper fly lines just got better! J3 coating
makes Triangle Tapers perform like never before:
Shooting better, floating higher, repelling water,
and lasting longer. This slick coating has a dry feel,
which minimizes resistance for longer casts. With J3,
the line stays clean and slick for the life of the line!
That's because J3 isn't simply a spray that's applied at
the factory – it's a specialized coating that's actually
integrated into the line itself, giving it years of
super-slick performance! Available on select Royal Wulff lines.

Elen Lauper Is Running for Mayor of Phoenix, but Not on Pop-Rock Sister Cyndi's Gaudy Coattails
A family tie seemed too farfetched. After all, a great deal more than geography separates the Arizona capital's Socialist Bookstore, where Elen, 33, threw her hat into the ring, from the artists' lofts of lower Manhattan, where the flame-haired she-bopper pursues her antic art. But the truth will out—even if both Elen and Cyndi wish it wouldn't—and the truth is, the two are sisters. Elen definitely does not agree with Cyndi, 32, that Girls Just Want to Have Fun. But Cyndi's self-descriptive album title fits Elen equally well: She's So Unusual.
As befits the standard-bearer of a party so-named, Elen is a worker—a helper-and-bundler who cuts hot steel with a blowtorch at the Marathon Steel Company's Phoenix plant for $8 an hour. "It's hard," says the 5'4" Elen, "but you get a certain amount of respect once you've matched all the things that your co-workers can do."
Since dropping out in her freshman year at the City University of New York's Queens College in 1970 to find out "why the world was the way it was," Elen has held a series of "non-traditional" jobs. She has repaired railroad boxcars, worked in a garment factory and sweated as a pipe fitter in shipyards. She was introduced to politics through her involvement in the movement for the right to abortion and gravitated into the Socialist Workers Party primarily because of its positions on women's issues.
Including Elen there are just 15 SWP members in Phoenix, so her candidacy does not exactly strike fear in the heart of the incumbent mayor, Democrat Terry Goddard, 38. Of the Socialists, a Goddard spokesman says, "They have no support, and there is no animosity toward them, either." In other words they are pretty much ignored.
Elen Lauper may be changing that. Her call for sanctuary for Salvadoran refugees in Phoenix touches on an issue of major concern to the region. But what has really put her and her party on the map is the one thing she refuses to discuss—her relation to the rich and famous Cyndi.
"We live in two different worlds," says Elen, who after punching out each day drives a battered station wagon home to a small apartment in a salmon-colored concrete-block building where she lives alone. Concerned that references to her glitzy sibling will undermine her solidarity with working people, Elen dismisses all questions about Cyndi with a stock answer: "I don't write her music, and she doesn't write my speeches."
Yet even as she articulates the answer, the faint traces of a New York accent recall the Queens childhood she shared with Cyndi and their younger brother Butch. Their mother, Catrine Dominique, divorced when Elen was 6, struggled to feed her kids on her earnings as a waitress. Cyndi has said that their mother strongly encouraged individual creativity, and Elen says, "I think a good job was done in terms of teaching the value of thinking something through for yourself." According to Cyndi's record company biography, when she took up guitar at age 12 she began writing songs with her sister.
Cyndi, who has sold more than 6.5 million copies worldwide of her first solo album, has not contributed to Elen's campaign. David Wolff, Cyndi's boyfriend-manager, says she has no comment on Elen. He adds that the sisters talk infrequently and "don't share the same political views."
Cyndi did contribute a memorable performance to the We Are the World video to aid the hungry, but she's been far more outspoken about wrestling than politics. Yet the sisters may have more in common than either acknowledges. "A woman can be a leader. A woman can be assertive," says the frankly feminist Elen. Members of the L.A.-based Women in Film organization, who know a feminist when they see one, have honored Cyndi for the pro-woman casting in her videos.
Elen, pressing her quixotic battle beneath the Arizona sun, and the flamboyant Cyndi, splashing her art over MTV's airwaves, sound suspiciously like two sides of the same mother-minted coin.

Belleview's Blaney advances to state after winning region
The Vanguard girls also advance after placing fifth in Region 3A-1.
Published: Sunday, November 15, 2009 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 14, 2009 at 6:27 p.m.
Belleviews Anne-Marie Blaney continues to impress.
The sophomore ran a time of 19:05 on Saturday to win the Region 3A-2 cross country meet at Withlacoochee River Park in Dade City.
Blaney, the District 3A-3 winner last week, is headed to the state meet for the second consecutive year.
She won the meet by 23 seconds over Sarah Hartman of Tampa Sickles.
I really did (surprise myself), she said.
Blaney took the lead at the one-mile mark and never looked back in taking the regional title.
At Tallahassee, for the sixth straight season, the Vanguard girls cross country program is headed to the state meet.
The Knights placed fifth overall at the Region 3A-1 meet, which meant VHS has now qualified at least one of its teams for state every year since 1999 under coach James Travieso.
Taylor Ritacco stepped up big for Vanguard.
She improved her performance to place 41st with a time of 21:18, which aided the Knights, whose fourth-runner Katelyn Osborne battled the flu, but still managed to run hard and finish with a time of 23:10.
Taylor was key for us, Travieso said. For her to run like she did, really helped us get to state.
Kristin Moreau (24th/20:22), Shelby Blaes (27th/20:33), Mary Scott Cain (28th/20:34), Kraigen Hatcher (38th/21:09) and Megan Baiocco (66th/22:22) were the rest of Vanguards advancing team.
The Knights finished with a team score of 149.
Nationally-ranked Tallahassee Chiles won the girls race with a team score of 34. Fort Walton Beach (59), Orange Park Ridgeview (114) and Creekside (119) joined Vanguard among the top five teams.
Meanwhile, West Ports Gretchen MacMillan was the areas top individual finisher with a time of 19:59, which was good for 18th place, but she didnt advance, as the top 15 individuals move on.
For the boys, Vanguard was unable to advance, as a stacked region with 10 of the top 15 teams in Class 3A, according to the most recent FLRunners.com rankings, was just too much.
We needed to be perfect, said Travieso, whose team placed 10th overall with a team score of 218 and was nine points away from seventh place and 37 away from advancing as one of the top six teams. We had some guys step up and do well, but we needed that from everyone.
James Slack (32nd/16:59, Emery Ramaswami (33rd/16:59), David Schafer (46th/17:24), Austin Follos (61st/17:39), Jacob Fuller (63rd/17:44) were the top finishers for Vanguard, but none of them will advance to state as individuals.
Travieso cited Ramaswami and Fuller for their efforts, but the Panhandle-based programs ruled the day at the meet.
None of the six teams from Vanguards district advanced out of the Region 3A-1 meet to state.
Bartram Trail, the District 3A-2 champion, was seventh overall with a team score of 209.
Tallahassee Leon (62), Pensacola Washington (82), Fort Walton Beach (83), Niceville (158), Chiles (177) and Navarre (181) were the teams to advance to state for the boys from 3A-1.
At Titusville, Trinity Catholics girls didnt move on, but the foundation for the future was set with an eighth-place finish.
We ran better than we did at districts, said Celtics coach Mary Menton, whose team was fourth at districts, but moved closer to district champion Crystal River, which was sixth at regionals. Were positive about this experience and we will build on it.
I thoroughly enjoyed this season and we are looking to improve in the future.
Megan Menton was Trinity Catholics top finisher with a 29th-place finish. Nicole Brunetti was 45th, while Amanda Schneller took 46th.
We need to get our runners times more compact, said Mary Menton, whose team moved up to Class 2A from 1A this season and will return four starters in 2010. If you dont have that, it makes it real tough when you get to this level. We are going to keep working hard and try to get faster for next year.

DeBlasio Says Landlords who Lease Space to City Should be Held Accountable for Violations
Public Advocate Bill DeBlasio says the city needs to hold landlords with multiple housing and safety violations accountable for their fines. Especially those who also get millions of dollars from government agencies.
While assembling a list of the city's worst violators, DeBlasio says his office found that David Bistricer, a principal owner of Berkshire Equity LLC, which owns the Flatbush Gardens Complex, has multiple violations but also leases office space to the city.
"That means that the city believes that he's got an unsafe environment for his tenants and yet that hasn't stopped the city from reconsidering weather they want to give him these lucrative leases from office space," DeBlasio says.
But Marc Daly, spokesman for the Department of Citywide Administrative Services, says the city is locked into leases signed long before Bistricer and Berkshire Equity were the property owners. And he says officials are working to withhold permits, licenses and payments to those who do not pay the city what they owe.
