The Dark Sacrament: True Stories of Modern-Day Demon Possession and…
by David Kiely, Christina McKenna (Author)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A book purporting to be about possession but is really about the paranormal and ghost stories from Ireland. The book claims to relate stories from an Anglican priest and an unnamed Benedictine monk. The book portrays prayer solely as a weapon to battle the forces of evil which isn't true. The authors trivialize the Catholic sacramental system. Not recommended to anyone serious about what christianity can offer to people wishing a personal connection with God.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0061238163, Hardcover)THE DARK SACRAMENT faithfully recounts ten true stories of contemporary cases of demon possession, house hauntings, and exorcism. The book profiles two living, active exorcists-one Protestant, one Roman Catholic. Kiely and McKenna, a husband and wife team of writers, conducted countless interviews with the victims, families, witnesses, and various clergy who assisted in performing multiple rites of exorcism. With five stories each, exorcists Canon William Lendrum and Father Ignatius reveal their fears, failings, and victories as they reflect on their forty years of service battling the Devil and his minions. These well-told stories have a scary "you are there" sensibility. Many of the accounts are very recent and, in some cases, ongoing. Kiely and McKenna strike just the right balance by serving as trustworthy, credible guides on this journey into the bizarre while delivering a suspense-filled, page-turning read. Thoroughly researched and impressively wide-ranging concerning both the ancient and modern exorcism practices, THE DARK SACRAMENT will include a substantive Appendix with detailed historical analysis, translated prayers of exorcism, and fascinating notes on important terms and practices.

Kiely and McKenna conducted countless interviews with victims, families, witnesses, and clergy who assisted in performing multiple rites of exorcism. Many of the accounts are very recent and, in some cases, ongoing.

He who is throned in heaven laughs; the LORD derides them; Then in anger he speaks to them; he terrifies them in his wrath: "I myself have set up my king on Zion, my holy mountain. I will proclaim the decree of the LORD: The LORD said to me, 'You are my son; this day I have begotten you. Ask of me and I will give you the nations for an inheritance and the ends of the earth for your possession. You shall rule them with an iron rod: you shall shatter them like an earthen dish.'"
"We ourselves announce to you the good news that what God promised our fathers he has fulfilled for us, their children, in raising up Jesus, according to what is written in the second psalm, You are my son; this day I have begotten you."
He was put to death insofar as fleshly existence goes, but was given life in the realm of the spirit.
To which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my son; today I have begotten you"? Or again, "I will be his father, and he shall be my son"? And again, when he leads his first-born into the world, he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."

Natural Medicine: Beating the blues with food
Published 10:00 pm, Sunday, May 11, 2008
It may be more than coincidence that the decrease in the quality of Americans' diets has occurred simultaneously with increased reports of depression. While there are situations in which medication or psychotherapy are the only effective means to treat depression, studies show that dietary changes can sometimes be a mood booster.
Here are some ways to use food as a tool to fight depression:

Consult a physician before modifying your diet or health practices to treat depression. For additional information on nutrition and depression, visit the National Alliance on Mental Illness Web site: nami.org.

Experience the excitement and fun of the season at the South Pasadena Chamber of Commerce's Old Fashioned Holiday Tree Lighting on Thursday, December 5th, 2013.
This family fun event held from 4:00-7:00 pm is a great kick-off to the holiday season at the Farmers' Market on Meridian and El Centro, near the Iron Works Museum, at the Metro Gold Line South Pasadena Station (formerly Mission Station).
Festivities will begin at 4:00 pm, with a wide array of entertainment and events. Musical performances will be provided by a number of local South Pasadena groups. At 6:00 pm, watch the highlight of the event as the Mayor turns on the brilliant lights of the tree. Of course, also keep an eye out for Santa Claus's grand entrance and the chance to visit and take photos with him. (Santa will be available every Thursday before Christmas during the Farmers' Market for photographs and for kids to share their Holiday Wish Lists.) The Iron Works Museum will be decorated for the holidays, and the South Pasadena Preservation Foundation will have seasonal treats for visitors.
The tree will be a living tree, specially chosen by the City of South Pasadena arborist. Throughout December it will be on view near the Meridian Ironworks Museum. Then it will be planted permanently in the city in 2014 as a donation from the Chamber of Commerce.

Re: the origin of fairies
Hahahahahahahaha. Clever, and good job setting up the punchline. Though, in the shirt comp, at first I was confused thinking your color-spots were part of the design. Quickly sorted out however. I do worry that the + and = would be considered non-incidental text.
(ps- Somehow the idea of a guy mating with a mosquito is rather disturbing)

Need help ASAP with some heat
Alright, well its very cold out, and my heat isn't working. I have a 92 F-150 with the I-6 300. In the past year I have had to replace the thermostat close to 6 times now. It has over 200,000 miles but drives as smooth as the day it was made and just keeps on running. It doesn't burn anything. In the past two weeks I have put two different thermostats in, they have all been 195* thermostats. The first one I know went bad because the temp guage went all the way to the L in normal and the heat got very cold. The second one I replaced because it wouldn't let the engine warm up and would barely get to the middle grounds of C and N in normal. So i am to this thermostat. I put it in last week, it lets the engine heat up to about the O in normal and then stays between that and the N. The weird thing is, the heat is luke warm, just barely enough to defrost the windsheild, and doens't heat the cab up at all. I replaced the temperature control unit/fan/and vent setting last year, but recently all but one knob has busted off. Another weird thing, if you feel down around the heater on the passenger footwell, it is very warm, well hot, but the air coming out of the vents is not, doensn't seem to make a difference if you change the heat setting to floor/vent/mix/or defrost. I took off the heater input and return lines and the one to the radiator and hooked the compressor up to them and blew out a little bit of gunk, right now I have the prestone radiator flush treatment running through it, any guesses though?....p.s ITS COLD

1) Get a new temp gauge (or atleast make sure your's is accurate). Dunno about the F-150's, but the rangers around that time (92-95ish) had inaccurate temp gauges....the one in my truck (94) says the engine is only at roughly 180* when I've checked (with infrared temp gun as well as thermometer in the coolant) the temp and it's consistently at 210*
2) I doubt the T-stat is the issue, nor is the water pump. And, from what you say about the hot air comming out on the floor, I doubt its the heater core either.
If it were me, I'd do the following:
1) make sure temp gauge is accurate
2) you didn't state if the hot air comming from down by the fire wall only comes out when the blower is on or if it is there all the time....if it's there all the time, it could just be residual hot air blowing into the cab from the engine bay (only when driving down the road though) - in this case, I'd pull the heater core hoses and make sure it's not plugged (flush water through it both ways)
If the hot air drops off a lot when the blower motor speed is decreased, then I'd bet your heater door isn't functioning properly......

That knocks the price to about $100 a pop, plus the free entertainment pack offered with AT&T's WP7 handsets, which includes the 3D puzzle game ilomilo, and 30-day Zune pass for free music and TV shows.
In our Black Friday deals list, however, we have the Samsung Focus, HTC Surround and LG Quantum at $25 profit for you at Wal-Mart, if you take advantage of their $100 gift card offer, and enter the LetsTalk coupon 25RAFPCVER1 on checkout. If you sniff at gift cards, then Amazon has all three phones for $49.99, so we really don't see much value in AT&T's proposition, especially if you have to get up and go to the store, but props for the effort anyway.

It's National Dog Week, and I'm open for gifts
What do you mean you didn't know it was National Dog Week?
Don't you have it marked down on your calendar?
Well, consider yourself informed, so start pampering your pooch.
I began celebrating the 84th annual NDW today with a visit to the dog spa, where I was properly groomed and coiffed and came out "smelling like a cupcake," according to my person.
Hard to believe, right?
But it's true, the observance began in 1928; and yes, I smell as good as a cupcake.
I won't get into all the history of NDW here, though it's pretty interesting. I just wanted to be sure the word got out to all you dog-loving folks out there (I call them the 100 percent, as in the 100 percent worth giving 100 percent of my attention.).
The theme of this year's observance is Man's Best Friend, which I interpret as a directive to treat us canines with extra special kindness this week, what with us willing to friend you all, despite your many faults.
And when dogs say they are your "friend" they mean "friend" as:
Liking you In person.
Not virtually.
Never using emoticons to express their affection.
Wagging and snuggling.
And never commenting on how your butt looks in skinny jeans.
So pet us, brush us, walk us, throw us a bone and tell us we smell like a cupcake.
Of course, gifts of bacon are also appreciated, and during NDW, they have special meaning.
Please send to me in care of The Day.

Knocked out early in Green Bay's Monday night home loss to Chicago, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers could miss another three weeks with a collarbone injury. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that initial tests showed a small fracture in Rodgers' collarbone. The Packers have not made any announcements and more tests will take place on Tuesday.
Fantasy Analysis:
Attention fantasy owners: No panic moves, not yet. Should Rodgers miss three games, he would still return for the fantasy playoffs (Weeks 13-16). Even though he's virtually irreplaceable, owners in 10-12 team leagues should be able to scrap together some QB combo bandaid plan in the short-term. Now, that plan ideally does not include backup Seneca Wallace, who struggfled mightily in place of Rodgers. Wallace only joined the Packers as the season started so he's not same lifer in Mike McCarthy's offense. It's also important to realize that backups typically receive almost no snaps in practice. With extra reps in practice and considering the lightweight defenses on Green Bay's immediate schedule (Eagles, @Giants, Vikings), don't rule out the Packers passing game just yet. Oh, certainly not at Rodgers' level, but enough to keep Jordy Nelson, Jarrett Boykin and James Jones in weekly lineup plans, though down a tier from their usual expectations.

Labuche Kang (or Lapche Kang, Lobuche Kang I, Choksiam) is a northern outlier of the Himalayas inside Tibet. It rises northwest of Rolwaling Himal and east of Shishapangma. The peak belongs to a little-known section of the Himalaya variously called Labuche Himal, Pamari Himal and Lapchi Kang.[2] that extends from the valley of the Tamakosi River west to the valley of the Sun Kosi and Nyalam Tong La pass where Arniko-Friendship Highway cross the Himalaya. This section extends south into Nepal east of Arniko Highway. It is wholly within the catchment of the Kosi, a Ganges tributary.
Labuche Kang was first climbed in 1987 by a Sino-Japanese expedition, via the West Ridge. No other attempts are recorded[3] until September 2010 when American climber Joe Puryear fell to his death during an unsuccessful attempt.[4]
Labuche Kang III East[edit]
Another peak on the Labuche Kang massif, Labuche Kang III East 28°18′01″N 86°23′03″E / 28.30028°N 86.38417°E (7,250 m Ranked 94th by elevation; Prom. = 570 m), is likely the second highest unclimbed peak in the world behind Gangkhar Puensum (7,570 m Ranked 40th; Prom. = 2,995 m), using a 500-meter prominence cutoff. The former second highest unclimbed mountain, Saser Kangri II East (7,513 m Ranked 49th; Prom. = 1,450 m), was first climbed on August 24, 2011.[5]

Sad faces in the Sana'a Zoo
Published on 2 July 2012 in Health & Environment
Ahlam Mohsen (author), Nicholas Linn (photographer)
Ahlam Mohsen (author), Nicholas Linn (photographer)
Questionable care
According to a report by the Environment Protection Authority and the Breeding Centre for Endangered Arabian Wildlife, animals at the Sana'a Zoo face "overstocking, poor handling and lack of preventative medicine," which compromises their welfare.
Although the report concludes that most of the animals have reasonable diets, there are numerous documented cases of neglect and improper care.
Three gazelles suffered from interdigital necrobacillosis, an inflammation of the skin and tissues. Hyenas, who in the wild are active hunters that kill up to 95 percent of their food, appear lethargic and uninterested while in "old, small, temporary cages, which housed single hyaenas [sic]... and were considered most unsuitable," according to the report.
Carnivores are fed poultry and meat—more than necessary—resulting in digestive issues. At least one lion suffered from in-grown claws. Reptiles, according to the report, appeared not to have eaten "since arrival in captivity."
Conservation of threatened species
The report lists numerous animals that have become extinct in Yemen, many in the past 50 years. They include the Queen of Sheba's gazelle, the Saudi gazelle and the Arabian oryx.
It concludes that zoos are necessary for the conservation of threatened species.
According to the report, however, animals bred at the zoo have very low survival rates, whether raised by the mother or hand-raised. Chances of survival after release back into the wild are even less promising.
Sana'a Zoo is not one of the 1,200 zoos worldwide registered for captive breeding and wildlife conservation. Additionally, only two percent of endangered species are registered in captive breeding and wildlife programs, according to a 1994 report by the World Society for the Protection of Animals.
In Yemen, where unemployment is rampant and nearly half the population lives on less than two dollars a day, villagers trap animals to sell to zoos. Many captured animals have injuries from their captures; broken legs from traps are common. Although Sana'a Zoo has a policy of not purchasing animals injured in capture, the trapping of animals by villagers hoping to make money contributes to the declining population of numerous species, undermining conservation efforts, zoo critics say.
Education or Entertainment?
Um Mohamed brings her children to the Sana'a Zoo two or three times a year.
"I want them to see and learn about the animals," she says. "This is their favorite place."
Her six-year-old daughter, Neeju, knows one of the lions by name.
"Sumaya, Wake up! She is very lazy today," Neeju says.
Sumaya, collapsed on a concrete slab, is rather indifferent to Neeju's existence. She is one of six lions in the cage, the loner of the group, off by herself.
Although signs detail each species origin and Latin name, few parents pay attention to them, and children appear uninterested.
Zoo critics contend that their purpose is primarily entertainment, not education.
Zoochosis, a term coined by the late Bill Travers of the Born Free Foundation, refers to the abnormal and obsessive behavior of captive animals, including "repeated pacing, rocking, vomiting and even self- mutilation."
In addition to the 19 percent of carnivores at the zoo with injuries from cage mates, more than 12 percent had self-inflicted or stress-related injuries, according to the zoo report.
American animal rights group Mercy for Animals reports that chimpanzees often bite their own limbs from the stress induced by captivity.
"Their hands were unrecognizable from all the scar tissue," one chimpanzee manager said.
Big cats and primates are known to bang their heads against bars and walls. Primates can be seen hugging their knees and rocking back and forth, "a recognized symptom of mental illness in human beings," according to Circus Watch.
The Sana'a Zoo report counted ten cases of carnivores with fractured teeth resulting from "stress-induced biting of cage-bars."
Two gazelles had limb fractures from running into fences, according to the report.
All leopard cubs are taken from their mothers at birth because the stress of captivity often leads mothers to kill their young. Efforts at hand-raising the cubs have been unsuccessful—every cub at the zoo has died.
Zoo critics maintain that zoos, where animals are denied everything natural to them, are no place for animals.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Tennessee's late-night, third-place finish in the 4x1500-meter relay on Friday night turned out to be the Lady Vols' final performance at the 62nd-annual Coca-Cola Florida Relays. The last day of the meet was cancelled Saturday, as thunderstorms repeatedly fired up over and around Percy Beard Track.
The morning session was originally postponed until 1 p.m., with all high school field events being cancelled. At 12:50 p.m. Saturday, another strong cell of thunderstorms moved through the Gainesville area and proved to be the last straw for meet organizers, as strong storms with lightning were expected for much of the afternoon.
Friday's schedule was also affected by weather, with many of the collegiate events being cancelled. The last time a full day of events was cancelled at the Coca-Cola Florida Relays was 1996, when much of Percy Beard Track was under water.
Tennessee wrapped up its abbreviated, yet successful, appearance at the meet with a third-place effort in the 4x1500-meter relay late Friday night. The Lady Vol combination of junior Felicia Guliford (Gallup, N.M.), senior Elizabeth McCalley (Knoxville, Tenn.), junior Brooke Novak (Kaukauna, Wis.) and sophomore Mindy Sullivan (Lubbock, Texas) moved the baton around the oval in 18:19.18, charting the third-best clocking in school history.
Michigan won in 17:58.06, followed by a J.J. Clark-coached quartet, called Knoxville Elite, in 18:03.28. Running with that group were Mary Jayne Harrelson, Sharon Dickie Thompson, Hazel
Clark and Lindsay Hyatt. The first four finishing teams all bested the 18:34.23 track and meet records established by Georgetown in 2002.
For results from the Florida Relays, please click on the Lady Vol Web site's link to the meet at www.utladyvols.com.
Tennessee will now gear up for its first home meet of the 2005 outdoor campaign. The Lady Vols will join the UT men in hosting the Gatorade Classic on April 8-9. The scored meet will pit Southeastern Conference schools against universities from the Big Ten Conference.
Friday: 4x200mR: 1st, Champion/Madison/Tyson/Olupona (1:31.83sf); Sprint Medley Relay: 3rd, Champion/Tyson/Hall/Loche (3:46.97), Pole Vault: 5th, Jessica Reust (12-5.50/3.80m#); 12th, Jessica Andrews and Kendra Rhyne (11-5.75/3.50m). 4x1500mR: 3rd, Guliford/McCalley/Novak/Sullivan (18:19.18).
Thursday: Hammer Throw: 7th, Ariel Brooks (180-2/54.91ms#); 15th, Shanna Dickenson (155-10/47.51m!); NM, April Thomas. 5000m: 4th, Katie Flaute (17:17.17); 7th, Carly Matthews (17:34.72); 13th, Megan Cauble (18:01.74).

B01d 35/14 mm is within the lower portion f a separate filt housing f [50] Field 210/454, a height greater than the maximum liquid level within the 172, 257, 253, 130, 90, 406, reservoir, the housing and reservoir communicating adjacent 416, 472, 43 238 their lower ends, and means drawing liquid from the housing [56] References Cited through the element. The cover for the housing carries a bypass valve, element insertion-removal means, and a con- UNITED STATES PATENTS tamination indicator. Deaeration means insure a head of fluid 715,554 12/1902 Craine 2l0/406X above the filter element.
L \\\\\\\\\\\I i RESERVOIR-FILTER ASSEMBLY A reservoir and a separate filter housing communicate adjacent their lower ends to deliver liquid into the filter housing, the connecting means between the filter housing and reservoir serving as a housing base and as a manifold for transmission of fluid to be filtered from the reservoir to the filter housing and for transmission of filtered fluid from the filter housing, said manifold including a sleeve supporting a filter element and an outlet passage through said sleeve and manifold. An indicatorbypass valve assembly and means for positioning and removing the filtered element, along with a filter for the bypassing fluid and deaeration means are provided, the latter insuring an adequate supplyor head of fluid for filtering by the filter element, the deaeration structure being free of human error in removing the filter element for cleaning, the manifold precluding turbulence with the pump running and the filter clement removed.
This invention relates to filter structures and has particular relation to a filter-reservoir assembly.
One purpose of the invention is to provide a filter-reservoir assembly incorporating a filter housing of minimum weight and cost.
Another purpose is to provide a filter-reservoir assembly employing a standard type filter element.
Another purpose is to provide a filter-reservoir assembly including a filter housing base serving as a mounting means for a filter housing and filter element and as a manifold-providing for transfer of fluid from the reservoir to the housing and for delivery of filtered fluid outwardly of the housing.
Another purpose is to provide a filter housing cover assembly including indicator means, a bypass valve and connection elements serving to insert and remove a filter element into and from an elongated housing.
Another purpose is to provide a filter-reservoir assembly which shall insure a supply of fluid to the filter element whenever the system pump is operating and which shall avoid airentrapment in the fluid, cavitation of the fluid pump and the maximum simplicity and economy in manufacture and use.
Other purposes will appear from time to time during the course of the specification and claims.
The invention is illustrated more or less diagrammatically in the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic side view with parts in section;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the filter assembly of the invention;
FIG/3 is a detail view of an accessory portion of the invention;
FIG. 4 is atop view of the structure of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a detail view of an accessory structure usable with a variant form of filter element; and
FIG. 6 is a detail view of a variant form of diffuser means.
Like parts are indicated by like numerals throughout the specification and drawings.
Referring now to the drawings, the numeral 1 generally indicates a reservoir, tank or containerfor a supply of fluid 2. The fluid 2 may vary in nature without departing from the nature and scope of the invention. An example, however, would be hydraulic fluid utilized in the operation of hydraulic rams employed with machinery of various types. 7
A cover 3 closes the upper open end of reservoir 1. An aperture or opening 4 is formed in the side wall of reservoir 1 adjacent its bottom wall. Secured to the outer wall of reservoir 1 in alignment with the opening 4 is a combined filter housing base and fluid manifold member 5. The member 5 has a bottom drain 5a and may be secured to the reservoir 1 by suitable fasteners, such as those indicated at 6.
Upstanding on member 5, and with a seal 512, secured thereto by suitable means, such as the tie rods 7, is an elongated cylinder 8a of cylindrical filter housing 8 formed of relatively thin material. A closure 9 seats upon a simple ring seal 90 on the upper open end of housing 8. The closure 9 may be secured to the upper end of housing 8 by any suitable means, such as the wing nuts 10 turned upon the upper threaded ends of rods 7. A bracket 8b is secured to housing 8 and engages fastener on reservoir 1. The tie rods 7 are threaded through lugs 7a secured, as by welding for example, to the external upper surface of housing 8. If desired, cylinder 8a could be secured to base 5 and cover 9 to cylinder 80 by individual bolts or fasteners in place of tie rods 7 without departing from the nature and scope of the invention. The housing generally defined by cylinder 8a must be of a height greater than the maximum level of the fluid in reservoir tank 1.
The hollow, central sleeve 15 rises from member 5 in substantial axial alignment with housing 8 for slidable engagement with a filter element generally indicated by the numeral 16. While the filter element 16 may take a variety of forms, it
will be understood that fluid to be filtered flows from the area within housing 8 through the filter media of element 16 and into the outlet passage 17 defined by sleeve 15. The element 16 includes a pair of end caps 18, 19. Cap 18 has a central,
outward extension l8a'carrying ring seal 20 for engagement with the outer surface of sleeve 15. A cylindrical core formed of perforated metal extends between caps l8, l9 and is indicated at 21.
Cap 19 has an axially, outwardly directed central extension 22 carrying the ring seal 23.
Cap or cover 9 is shown as carrying externally thereof an indicator structure 30. The external surface 31 of indicator member 30 bears appropriate indicia. Slidable along member 30 and over the indicia surface 31 is an indicator ring 32. A
finger member 33 is positioned to engage ring 32 beyond ring 32 from cap 9. A yielding means 34 is active against the external surface of cap 9 and member33 to urge the same in opposite directions.
Secured to member 33 and extending through member 30 and cap 9 into housing 8 is an indicator-bypass valve rod 40. A sleeve 41 extends inwardly from cap 9 and slidably receives one end ring of an auxiliary filter tube 42 formed of a wire mesh material having openings larger than those of the filter media in element 16. Member 42 surrounds and is secured, at its inner end, to a portion of sleeve 43, the sleeve 43 being received within extension 22 in sealing engagement with seal 23. The offset or shoulder created by a reduced outer diameter of sleeve 43, as indicated at 43a, serves to resist withdrawal of sleeve42 from its position within extension 22 and seal 23 as shown in FIG. 2.
The rod 40 extends through filter tube 42 and carries at its distal end, within core 21, a bypass valve member 44 positioned to engage the inner end surface of sleeve 43 and to close the same as indicated at 43b in FIG. 2.
Indicated in dotted lines at 40a is a dcaerator or diffuser passage extending through rod 40. Passage 40a is open to the area within element 16 and core 21 thereof as indicated at 40b. Cross openings 40c communicate passage 40a with the area in housing 8 above the maximum liquid level therein. Passagev 40a is plugged against communication with atmosphere as indicated at 40d externally of cap 9.
Member 5 has formed therein an opening 50 positioned for axially parallel alignment with opening 4 and providing access to an annular passage 51 around element 16 to communicate the area within reservoir 1 with the area within housing 8 externally of filter element 16. A passage-forming structure 52 is incorporated in member 5 for communication with the filter element outlet 17 defined by sleeve portion 15. Secured to the structure 52 is a conduit 55 extending through the apertures 50, 4 and upwardly through reservoir 1 and cover 3. The conduit 55 communicates with fluid suction pump 56 and the pump-driving means 57 associated therewith. Conduit 59 communicates with pump 56 for delivery of filtered fluid to a point of use.
Return conduit 60 extends downwardly through cover 3 for delivery of fluid requiring filtering to the area within reservoir 1.
Indicated at 61 in FIG. 6 are hollow-diffuser tubes extending through and carried by valve 44. Tubes 61 have their open ends 62 above the maximum level of fluid in housing 8 and their opposite open ends 63 communicating with the area inside element 16.
In FIGS. 3 and 4 a clamp or clip member 70 is slidable on rod 40 and includes finger portions 71 for removably grasping the circumferential flange or wall 19a of cap 19. Threaded on rod 40 above member 70 is an abutment element 72. Sleeve 43 remains for engagement with seal 23 but auxiliary filter 42 has been removed.
In FIG. 5 sleeve 43 and valve 44 are absent, cap 19b is closed, except for the opening through smaller seal 23a, and clamp member 70 is fixed on rod 40, which in turn extends through the smaller seal 23a to communicate passage 400 with the area within element 16. The indicator structure 3034 being deleted in the absence of valve 44, rod 40 is fixed to cover 9.
Whereas there has been shown and described an operative form of the invention, it should be understood that this showing and description are to be taken in an illustrative or diagrammatic sense only. There are many modifications in and to the invention which will be apparent to those skilled in the art and which will fall within the scope and spirit of the invention. While the structure of FIGS. 2 and 3 permit the use of standard filter elements, special elements having elongated handles secured thereto may be employed, for example, when one desires to forego the advantage of using a standard element.
The use and operation of the invention are as follows:
The fluid 2, requiring filtering, is delivered to reservoir 1. Said body of fluid will flow through openings 4, 50 and passage 51 into the area within housing 8 and will find its common level in both reservoir 2 and filter housing 8, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, when pump 56 is not in operation and cover 9 is opened.
The fluid in housing 8 is not under substantial positive pressure and the housing 8 may accordingly be formed of lighter weight, more economical materials. Similarly, the closure 9 for housing 8 may be of light weight, economical material and may be secured in any convenient manner to close the housing 8 against the entry of dust, dirt and the like, the lack of internal positive pressures making the provision of high-pressure sealing elements unnecessary. The seal 9a is effective, as discussed below, to prevent entry of air into housing 8 when pump 56 is operated.
Operation of pump 56 by means 57 draws fluid from the area within housing 8 through the filter element 16 and core 21 thereof, located below the minimum fluid level of reservoir 1 and housing 8, and thence through outlet passages 17 and 52 and through the conduits 55,59 for delivery to a point of use.
The level in housing 8 will lower substantially when the element 16 is removed for cleaning and pump 56 continues to operate. When, however, cover 9, rod 40 or tubes 61 and element 16 are again in place, pump 56 will draw air from above the fluid in housing 8 and the fluid level will rise to a point substantially above element 16, at which point a full head of fluid will be stabilized, that point being reached before the fluid level reaches openings 400 or the open upper ends 62 of tubes 61.
When element 16 is removed, pump 56 will draw fluid smoothly through opening 4, passages 51, 17 and 52 to conduit 55 without turbulence or substantial air entrapment.
When the filtering media of filter element 16 becomes contaminated or clogged beyond a predetermined level, the pressure differential created, between that within core 21 and the area of housing 8 externally of media 16, will draw valve 44 off its seat and permit the passage of fluid from the area within housing 8 through auxiliary filter tube 42, sleeve 43 and core 21 to outlet passages 17, 52 and conduits 55, 59 in order to maintain operation of the machinery with which conduit 59 is associated. It will be understood that the filter screen of member 42 may conveniently be of larger mesh that that of media 16.
In the form shown in FIG. 2 the offset 43a sufficiently engages seal 23 to overcome the frictional attraction of seal 20 and sleeve 15 whereby removal of cover 9, through engagement of valve 44 with sleeve 42 and the engagement of sleeve offset 43a and seal 23, draws the filter tube 42 and the filter element 16-23 outwardly of housing 8. Since the diffuser rod 40 and its channel 40a or the diffuser tubes 60 accompany cover 9 and element 16, it will be noted that human error in failing to reinsert the deaeration diffuser means, or in leaving the same in place while element 16 is removed, is avoided.
When the operator desires to remove, for cleaning or replacement, the filter element 16-23 from the housing 8, it is equally unnecessary to reach into the fluid in housing 8 or to drain reservoir 1 and housing 8 when the structure of FIG. 3 is employed. In such instance the operator merely disconnects cover 9 and draws cover 9, with rod 40, outwardly of housing 8, the valve 44 engaging sleeve 43 which in turn engages clip 70, the sleeve 43 having a constant outer diameter. The fingers 71 thereupon draw cap 19 and its assembled element 16 outwardly of housing 8, the friction of seal 20 with the external surface of sleeve 15 being substantially the only resistance to such removal.
The length of housing 8 being sufficient to insure against overflow of fluid 2 therewithin, removal of cover 9 and element 16 will involve no spillage.
With the filter element cap 9 and rod 40 out of housing 8, the filter element may be snapped out of engagement with fingers 71 and cleaned or replaced. The element is then reengaged with fingers 71 and reinserted in housing 8, the operator pressing inwardly on finger member 33 to move rod 40 and abutment member 72, as indicated in dotted lines in FIG. 3, to press the filter element back into place on sleeve 15 and into the position shown in FIG. 3. In the form ofthe assembly illustrated in FIG. 2, the auxiliary filter tube 42 serves to provide sufficient force transmission to force element 16 onto sleeve 15 against the relatively limited frictional engagement of seal 20 with said sleeve 15.
It will be understood that, as shown in FIG. 5, the bypass valve 44 may be dispensed with, under some circumstances, appropriate mechanism (not shown) being often in that case provided for shutdown of the machinery dependent on conduit 59 for filtered fluid when media 16 becomes contaminated. The clip member 70, which removably engages end cap 1%, is fixed to rod 40 and rod 40 is fixed to closure 9, the indicator structure 3034 being dispensed with, in such case.
Thus is provided a reservoir and filter assembly of minimum cost and yet one by means of which the filter element may be removed and replaced with maximum ease and without opening, entering or disturbing the reservoir itself.
1. A reservoir filter assembly including a fluid reservoir, a filter housing mounted externally of and upon said reservoir, said reservoir and housing communicating adjacent their lowermost portions, said housing being of a height greater than the maximum height of fluid in said reservoir, an outlet passage for said housing and a filter element positioned in a lower portion of said housing to filter fluid prior to entry into said passage, said element being positioned entirely beneath the minimum level of fluid in said reservoir and housing, said element having an inner area communicating with said outlet passage and a filter media enclosing said inner area, a suction pump connected to said outlet passage, a cover for said filter housing, a rod carried by said cover and extending into said housing, and means carried by said rod and removably engaging said filter element for removal together from said housing of said cover, rod and filter element.
2. The structure of claim 1 wherein said rod extends from said inner area within said filter element to an area above the maximum level of fluid in said housing and characterized by and including a deaerator passage through said rod to communicate said areas and to communicate said outlet passage and pump with said area above said fluid level.
3. The structure of claim 1 wherein said means includes an opening in said filter element, a sleeve carried by said cover and rod for insertion in said opening, a seal carried by said element in said opening, said sleeve having a first diameter insertable through said seal and a second diameter less than said first diameter, said seal engaging said second diameter in sealing relationship, said diameters creating an annular shoulder engageable with said seal in response to retrograde movement of said sleeve in said opening, whereby said cover, sleeve and element are removable together from said housing.
4. The structure of claim I wherein said means includes a clip member carried by said rod and removably engaging said filter element.
S. The structure of claim 1 wherein said rod is slidable in said cover and said means includes a bypass valve member carried by said rod, a sleeve carried by said rod and valve member, a clip member slidable on said rod beyond said sleeve from said valve member, and an abutment on said rod beyond said clip member from said sleeve, said sleeve and valve member being insertable into said filter element, said clip member engaging said filter element.
6. The structure of claim 5, characterized by and including an indicator member carried externally on said cover, said rod having a portion extending through said cover to actuate said indicator member, yielding means carried externally of said cover by said indicator member and urging said rod outwardly of said cover .and said valve member toward said sleeve, said rod portion being movable against the action of said yielding means to urge said abutment toward said clip member and filter element to move said filter element toward said outlet passage.
7. In a filter reservoir assembly, a reservoir, a filter housing, said reservoir and housing communicating adjacent their lower portions, an outlet in a lower portion of said housing, a suction pump connected to said outlet, a filter element between said outlet and the fluid in said housing, said filter element having a core area communicating with said outlet for flow of fluid from said housing through said filter element and said core area to said outlet, and a diffuser member communicating said core area and outlet with the area above the level of liquid within said housing whereby in response to initial action of said pump, air in the area above said liquid level is drawn into and through said core area to said pump, the pres-- sure above said liquid level is reduced and said liquid level is raised.

You know what's better than Monday? Everything. The links in this post are part of everything that isn't Monday, and, therefore, are better than Monday.
If the first day of the workweek makes you feel like Catherine Martin at the bottom of a well, here are some other things to do.
Surviving the deadliest meal in the world with Leo Benedictus is better than Monday. At least you don't have to eat bits of flavourless condom (read the article and that will make sense.)
You can pretend you have no fear of loss of life and limb and would jump off a rope swing set up over a 400 foot drop by compound bow (not really) like these lunatics. [Then watch the making of video–it's incredible.]
Once you've recovered from the adrenaline rush, spend a few minutes wishing you had the focus and determination (and funds) to construct a truly impressive Hogwarts out of Lego.
No matter your job, at least you don't have to pick up a road-killed wolf, then skin and gut it.
[Or if that seems freakin' brilliant, live vicariously through Emily Graslie of The Brain Scoop in this playlist.]
If you need some fresh air after the blood and viscera and …smells, you could take a short walk outside and play #4 on this list of Four Free Games You Can Play to Make Life More Interesting. And if you have cool friends, perhaps some of them will play #1 on the list or even #3. (I loathe Karaoke, but would absolutely play Karaoke Russian Roulette with John and Hank Green and Emily Graslie. [Mostly I want to see the three of them sing 'She Blinded Me with Science' like an 80s power ballad, but I'd be happy with anything.] Call me, guys.)
Whatever you do with the rest of your day…

Here's what others have to say about bamboo boards, panels and flooring
We recently had water damage to the laminate floor we had installed. We originally thought it would deliver what was promised but we were unhappy with the laminate floor.
We did extensive research into various products available. We knew that laminate would not be our choice so we looked at the option to upgrade to a solid wood floor. We compared many types of bamboo products and chose Eco-Logic Bamboo flooring. Our decision was based on the quality of the flooring (nothing else compared to it), the price and the service.
Hendri, the recommended installer, is an absolute "guru". If we ever moved or built another house, our flooring would be Eco-Logic Bamboo.
We highly recommend their product and Hendri, the floor installer guru.
This floor has changed our house ambiance from cold to warm and cosy; from a horrific clickety-clack noise to a quiet, solid amazing floor; and the overall look is just exquisite! This floor is an investment that has not only increased the value of our home but also our entire family is very happy with the new floor!
Kitchen & Interior Designer + Manufacturer
Here's what one of our clients had to say about our Eco-Logic Specifier Boards…
Reto Kitchens and Interiors caters to a more discerning and quality conscious clientele. Our client's support has placed us in the fortunate position of being able to spearhead environmentally responsible manufacturing choices in our industry. We have been able to replace traditional, non eco-friendly boards with bamboo boards in the manufacture of many of our product lines.
We opted for Oriental's Specifier bamboo boards due to the high quality of their products. One of the big plusses is the time that we save in production, as their boards are structurally stable, easy to machine and work well with stains, veneers and sprays.
Hotel Joinery
On our recent project, M&B House in Cape Town, we were able to complete the cupboards and furniture for 3 to 4 rooms per day using Oriental Bamboo boards compared to 1 room per day using another bamboo board supplier. We are very happy with the quality and time saved using Oriental Bamboo boards."
Solid Bamboo Flooring in a Public Space
We've had over a million people on it [650 square meters of bamboo flooring] —strollers, high heels, wheelchairs, you name it—and it's held up great, I think it's done extremely well for what it's been through.
Green Hotel
We specified Oriental Bamboo for both Erinvale Estate Hotel & Spa as well as Devon Valley Hotel, in line with our strategy to "green" the hotel group, using sustainable resources like bamboo flooring.
We had moisture damage in the public area of one of the hotels and Oriental Bamboo assisted in getting the best people on site to sort this out; after allowing for drying time we were able to reuse over 90% of the original floor.
I have enjoyed the proprietorial spirit of active caring that I experienced with Oriental Bamboo and thus I am pleased to recommend them.
Bamboo dance floor
We had flood damage and had to replace our Eco-Logic Bamboo floor of three years with a bamboo floor from another supplier.
The Eco-Logic Bamboo held up very well on my dance floor with all sorts of activities from hip hop, karate, through to tap dancing, with no visible damage.
The other floor however has not been the same experience, it has worn and marked quickly and is not the same quality. All bamboo floors are not made equal.

A Custom of Mourning
I wore blood on my clothes for three days.
I used my initials, never my name.
I would not cut the grass
nor make repairs
no matter an outbuilding
or mechanical failure.
I did not eat eggs
as they are a sign of life
yet grew the border on my stationery
to three inches wide,
vastly restricting the space to write in.
I read not the news
nor old books
nor the backs of cans.
Everything was heated haphazardly.
As I had vowed,
the mirrors were covered with beautiful cloth.
My hair grew to fathoms
and the soles of my shoes
were made of leaves.
And when at last the thirty years did pass,
I too hated the end of summer,
and bitterly.
Bright Enough
The shadow of the earth is bright enough for me
The self-denial of the last Beatle is enough for me
Something down, down in the terrestrial is terribly bright
In the depths of my clandestine there is brightness
A shame-faced look at the desolate glows
The shattering of a brilliant illusion is bright enough for me
A yellow finch is enough brightness
Boys of summer wood are too
Errors that a spider might make are bright for me
A hemidemisemiquaver is bright
The newness of the third time too is bright
Objects of mostly German origin, brightness!
A wild guess is bright for certain
Off-white indeed bright
Ludwig was certainly bright but
A little leaf caught under my boot is bright enough for me
An epsilon is always bright
This comfortable bra is tight enough for me
My successful effort to obtain the assistance of a tug was bright
The article most required by the deceased in her life after death—
What's negligible is shining
The bump of amativeness and the bump of approbativeness—
Both bright enough for me!
After all, a night person is bright enough for me
Sort-of-not-really is bright enough for me
A minor unspecified human ailment?
I wish that I had duck feet
The moon was so bright
The long lonely pointless way home was lovely
Thanks for the fruitcake
I dropped the cherries in the snow
Into whose confidence have they wandered?
Metaphysical Blight
I think it was Saturday my mother was
pregnant with me she could not find
a place to eat the restaurants were crowded
it was the Saturday before Christmas
so she bought a meatpie some fries
a carton of milk from a kiosk
and I became a person.
What if all the cows ate all the grass
and there were no grass?
What if the women were ground
to a Turkish grind for some worthy cause
and there were no women? Without grass
and without women, what could be made?
What could be added to the world?
And the many cows munching in it,
the sound of their manifold munching,
would be as pervasive as a stream
in the not-too-distant.
I am nailed fast by little bolts like these.
A world of worried babies without grass,
without women, what would that mean?
You can guess the rest of the story,
how this dear foolish little bit of
Christmas shopping made me lonely,
so lonely even the carton of milk
failed to cause my cracked heart
to sprout a little wheat.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Ongoing efforts to find new and improved methods for controlling blood feeding insects such as mosquitoes are focusing on development of a new generation of pesticides that act by disrupting functions of neuropeptides. Neuropeptides are short chains of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) and are essential in regulating vital life processes of these insects. Three phases are required in this research: 1) isolate, identify and synthesize the neuropeptides; 2) determine tissue localization and function of each peptide; and 3) prepare synthetic insecticidal agents that mimic the activity of the natural peptide. The first two phases of this process have been completed in the isolation, identification and localization of 3 new neuropeptides of the salt marsh mosquito, Culex salinarius. This is an important agricultural pest because in some regions populations of this species often increase to such numbers that their feeding on cattle results in major blood loss that seriously weaken or kil the animals. The new peptides isolated from C. salinarius were found to be produced in the brain, other nerve tissue, and in nerve cells of the antennae. The latter is significant since the antennae are used by female mosquitoes to locate host animals and by males to locate females for mating. This is the first time antennal neuropeptides have been found in a pest species of insect and may provide the means of developing a species specific pesticide.
Technical Abstract: Three myotropic peptides belonging to the Arg-amide insect tachykinin family were isolated from whole-body extracts of the mosquito, Culex salinarius. The peptides, APSGFMGMR-NH2, APYGFTGMR-NH2 and APSGFFGMR-NH2 (designated culetachykinin, I, II and III) were isolated and purified on the basis of their ability to stimulate muscle contractions of isolated Leucophaea maderae hindgut. Biologically inactive methionine sulfoxides o two of the three peptides were isolated using an ELISA system based upon antiserum raised against APYGFTGMR-NH2 and identified with mass spectrometry. Immunocytochemistry localized these peptides in cells in the brain, antennae, subesophageal, thoracic and abdominal ganglion, proventriculus and midgut. Nerve tracts containing these peptides were found in the median nerve of the brain, central body, nervi corpus cardiaci, cervical nerve, antennal lobe and on the surface of the midgut.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The UAB football team shifts its focus to the season finale as head coach Garrick McGee leads his squad against UCF Saturday at 11 a.m. CT at Bright House Networks Stadium.
Coach McGee was joined by sophomore tight end Kennard Blackman, sophomore running back Darrin Reaves and senior safety Lamar Johnson at the weekly media luncheon at Bartow Arena.
The Blazers, who are 3-8 this season, close out the year looking for their third Conference USA victory of the season.
UCF enters Saturday's contest at 8-3 overall and 6-1 in conference play. A win for the Knights would mean a C-USA East Division Championship and would secure their spot in the C-USA Championship Game.
Head Coach Garrick McGee
On the effects of success before the Memphis game:
"I think that I started it. What I've learned in my first year is that the approach, the way that you motivate your team throughout the week has to be a certain way. It's very tricky to make sure you use the right words, the right demeanor week in and week out. Our coaching staff and players would say that once we lost to Tulane, I really turned the pressure up on everyone around here. I was really mean, and I forced everyone in our building to really concentrate on doing things right. We won a couple games, and I really do think that I backed off. I thought that things were headed in the right direction and I was starting to see signs of our team coming to life, so I turned down some of the intensity and some of the pressure. Obviously it was a really big mistake on my part, and I think that's why we got the performance we got. It'll never happen to me again in my career. I learned a lot. This is my first run at head coaching, and I've learned that when you feel like things are going well, you don't back off. You move forward and you turn up the intensity even more. That's what I've learned. Talking to my guys over the last couple days about what happened in the game, I learned that you don't back off when things are going well."
On quarterback Austin Brown:
"He has a groin injury that he's dealing and it's affecting his movements. He's not moving as well as we'd like, but he's doing a good job managing the game for us. In a game where you fall behind by so many points, it's hard to come back when you're feeling like he is. When it's a tight game, you can use your running back to get the pressure off the quarterback, but when they score touchdowns on the first four possessions of the game, when they have not had as much success before, that puts a lot of pressure on the quarterback and it affected him.
On Brown staying in at starting quarterback:
"We're in the process of developing our program. We want Austin to feel that pain. I want him to understand how that felt like, so in the offseason, as he's thinking and preparing for the next season, he understands how that really hurts to perform like that and to have our team perform like that. I'm invested in Austin right now. Quarterbacks have to have thick skin. You get so much credit when you win, but when you lose you take all the blame. I always tell the quarterbacks that it's the head coach and the quarterback that get to talk to the media about why you won or why you lost. The quarterback needs the training and that's why I left him out there. In the long run, it's going to help."
On UCF:
"They're well coached. George O'Leary is very experienced. I got to spend time with George at the head coaches meetings. He's a really good guy; he actually reached out to me to give me advice on certain things. I really appreciate him, and he's got a lot of very good players. They have a really sound scheme, it's not complex at all on offense or defense. They just do what they do and they do it very well. When you're playing teams like that, you have to make sure you're playing the game the way you're supposed to be playing, which is exactly where we need to go anyway this week."
On UCF RB Latavius Murray
"UCF's offense is a lot like our offense. It's not a complete spread out, fast break, and attack. It's more of a pro-style offense, and old-school way of running power plays. I got to meet him as well. He's tall and very athletic. For a tall kid, he really moves side to side well, which means he can hit in the hole and bounce out of it, and then finishing with a score. That's what makes him difficult to defend. He's so big and fast."
On the Thanksgiving holiday preceding the football game
"I think it will affect the week, but every school in the country deals with the same thing. It won't set us back at all, we do have a plan that includes a Thanksgiving meal here for our team and families. We'll be off Thursday night, and then we'll have our regular preparation on Friday and Saturday. Every team in the country deals with this week, there are a lot of huge games this weekend, so we don't see it as a problem."
On the let down Saturday:
"We felt pretty confident coming into this week. That led to a lot of people being unprepared. It shouldn't have been that way. We should have taken the same approach as we did against Marshall. We put Marshall on a pedestal and came out confident and ready to practice. We have a lot to prove this week."
On motivation for the final game:
"We are going to try to go out with a win. We are more concerned with how we finish our season. I know we're not going to go into the week thinking about UCF and what they can accomplish. We are just trying to accomplish all that we can."
Sophomore TE Kennard Backman
On the Memphis game:
"Throughout the week, a lot of us were going through the motions. We had two big wins. We went through the motions this week and it showed on Saturday. We don't want to get embarrassed again. We are going to try to send our seniors out right this week."
On the upcoming offseason:
"We want to get a win to build on going into the offseason. We want to show the people that have invested so much in us that we appreciate them by going out there Saturday, playing as hard as we can, and getting a win."
Sophomore RB Darrin Reaves
On the upcoming game against UCF:
"With it being the next game, it's an important game. UCF has had some success this season; they have done well in conference play. When you play an opponent that has had that success and playing like we did Saturday, you are definitely going to be more tuned in at practice."
On what went wrong with the running game on Saturday:
"I didn't play like myself. I missed some holes and a couple of cuts. They put a lot of guys in the box. Memphis had a great scheme to stop the run. But I should take responsibility for that. We couldn't find a rhythm in any phase of the game."
On if the running game can get back on track:
"Most definitely. As a football player, you have to know that if you have a bad game, you look back at it for a short time, and get ready for your next opponent."

Consider a electric charge at the origin and an monopolar charge
at an arbitrary point on the axis. From the generalized form of
MEs, we expect the electric field to be given by the well-known:
The momentum density of this pair of fields is given as noted above
The system obviously has zero total momentum from symmetry. This means
one can use any origin to compute the angular momentum. To do so, we
compute the angular momentum density as:
Integrating by parts:
There are a variety of arguments that one can invent that leads to an
important conclusion. The arguments differ in details and in small ways
quantitatively, and some are more elegant than this one. But this one
is adequate to make the point. If we require that this field angular
momentum be quantized in units of :
This conclusion was originally arrived at by (who else?) Dirac. However, Dirac's argument was more subtle. He created a monopole as a defect by constructing a vector potential that led to a monopolar field everywhere in space but which was singular on a single line. The model for this vector potential was that of an infinitely long solenoid stretching in from infinity along the axis. This solenoid was in fact a string - this was in a sense the first quantum string theory.
The differential vector potential of a differential magnetic
Dirac insisted that an electron near this monopole would have to not ``see'' the singular string, which imposed a condition on its wavefunction. This condition (which leads to the same general conclusion as the much simpler argument given above) is beyond the scope of this course, but it is an interesting one and is much closer to the real arguments used by field theorists wishing to accomplish the same thing with a gauge transoformation and I encourage you to read it in e.g. Jackson or elsewhere.

Adding about 40 new students each semester, the Health Sciences program has a total enrollment of 154 this fall. Designed for part-time and working students, the program had 40 students graduate in May.
Health Sciences holds classes in fall, spring and summer semesters, and new students are accepted each semester. Dr. Javis Knott, assistant professor and program director, said interest in Health Sciences continues to grow, so much so that when the registration period ends for one semester, prospective students are already set to enter the next semester.
Knott said the school's new Master of Health Sciences program actually is helping to drive that interest. In fact, this fall's total enrollment represents an increase of 29 students from a total of 125 students a year ago.
