The relates to a sluice type apparatus for discharging batches of material from a pressurized enclosure. Such a sluice type apparatus is used where large quantities of flowable bulk materials are pressure treated and then must be transferred from a pressurized enclosure into another environment such as a nonpressurized enclosure.
Sluice type devices usually comprise a box type container having an inlet opening at its top and an outlet opening at its bottom. The openings are selectively closable so that the container may be filled when its inlet opening at the top is open while the outlet opening at the bottom is closed and while the inlet opening is connected to a pressurized enclosure, for example a conduit leading from a pressurized treatment chamber to the sluice type container. Further, when the inlet opening is closed, and the outlet opening is open, the apparatus may be connected to a discharge conduit in which the initially pressurized material is depressurized.
Prior art sluices of this type are well known, but have the disadvantage that the transfer of the material from the pressurized enclosure into the sluice box causes substantial pressure drops in the pressurized enclosure. Such pressure drops are undesirable, for example, in connection with a pressure filter in which, for example, sludge or the like is introduced into a pressurized enclosure in which liquid is withdrawn from the sludge an from which the concentrate must be removed again. A pressure drop in such a pressure filter system may lead to substantial operating troubles or even breakdowns, whereby the efficiency of the pressure filter process may be substantially diminished.
Netherlands Patent Publication (NL-OS) No. 8,005,787 discloses an apparatus for the batch type or discontinuous removal of material through a sluice in which pressure drops or losses are supposed to be avoided by means of a cone shaped closure at the bottom of a chute or shaft filled with a filter cake. The cone shaped closure is intended to seal the shaft or chute in a pressure tight manner. A hydraulic piston cylinder device is arranged for raising or lowering the conical closure. A substantial disadvantage of this type of construction is seen in that it requires a substantial space in the vertical direction. Further, the conical shape of the closure enhances the possibility of clogging, depending on the consistency of the material to be passed through the sluice.
German Patent Publication (DE-OS) No. 3,335,860 discloses a sluice type apparatus for the discharge of material from a pressurized enclosure in which the construction departs from other conventional cellular wheel sluices in that a cellular housing is movable relative to an inlet and an outlet. Sealing means are provided between the inlet and the cellular housing and the outlet and the cellular housing in such a manner that radially extending sealing gaps are avoided. Such radial sealing gaps are troublesome in conventional cellular wheel sluices in which a cellular wheel is rotatable in a stationary housing and thus requires expensive radially effective seals. In the apparatus according to German Patent Publication (DE-OS) No. 3,335,860 the seals are constructed as two parallel slide plates between which the cellular housing with its individual cells is arranged for a rotational movement.
However, practical experience has shown that the rotatable cellular housing either requires a relatively large drive power due to the highly loaded seals, or the sealing requirements are not satisfied, especially in connection with pressure filter techniques. The rotational movement of the cellular housing exposes the seals to high wear and tear and driving the entire cellular housing is not efficient.
In view of the foregoing it is the aim of the invention to achieve the following objects singly or in combination:
to provide a sluice type apparatus which avoids the drawbacks of the prior art, more specifically, which avoids rotational structural components and which is constructed so as to substantially not restrict the through-flow passage of the material;
to assure an efficient filling of the sluice container while minimizing any pressure drop in the pressurized enclosure to which the sluice container is connected and to also assure an efficient discharge once the sluice container is filled;
to move at least the inlet controlling slide gate members into a sealed chamber so as to prevent a pressure drop, especially during the opening movement of the slide gate members of the inlet; and
to construct the upper and lower closure structures so that both structures are substantially identical to facilitate standardization.
The sluice type apparatus according to the invention is characterized in that the cross-sectional flow area through the sluice container corresponds substantially to the open area of the inlet and outlet of the sluice container. Each of the inlet and outlet openings is closeable and openable by at least one slide gate member. At least the slide gate member for the inlet opening is movable into an outwardly sealed chamber for minimizing pressure drops when the sluice container is opened and also when it is being filled. Each slide gate member is operated by a piston cylinder device.
By making the cross-sectional flow area of the inlet and outlet as large as the container cross-section, and by making the slide gate members movable completely out of the cross-sectional flow area, the invention assures that the material does not have to travel through a restricted cross-sectional flow area, whereby clogging is avoided. Another advantage of this feature is seen in that a rapid changing and discharging of material batches is assured. Further, by moving at least the slide gate member or members, which closes the inlet opening into a pressure sealed chamber, a pressure drop due to movement of the slide gate member or members is prevented because the excess pressure in the sluice container is also present in the chamber or chambers into which the slide gate member or members are withdrawn through respective guide slots. The pressure in these chambers is thus substantially the same as in the sluice container since the chambers are sealed to the atmosphere. Moreover, the outwardly closed chamber provides a mounting for the piston cylinder drives for the slide gates and the cylinders are easily flanged in a pressure tight manner to the respective chamber so that there is no pressure loss through the slide gate drive means.
An efficient structure results by using at least one wall of the sluice container also as a wall for the outwardly sealed chamber or chambers into which the slide gates are withdrawn. A slot is provided in the common wall at least for each slide gate closing the inlet and such slots provide a proper guide for the respective slide gate. The slot can be surrounded by inexpensive seals which are not required to be pressure tight, but merely are provided for keeping the material passing through the sluice container out of the outwardly sealed chamber. It is acceptable even if minor material quantities pass into the chamber because the chambers may be cleaned from time to time. As a result of these features the force needed to press the seals against the slide gates can be very small and the wear and tear on the seals is respectively small. The outwardly closed chamber or chambers ma be provided with an access door for cleaning purposes.
By dividing each slide gate into two slide gate members which are movable in opposite directions, the invention achieves a more rapid opening and closing because each slide gate member needs to move only for half the required total distance. Additionally this feature provides smaller dimensions for each slide gate member so that the stress, especially the bending stress applied to the slide gate members, is substantially smaller than the respective stress applied to a single slide gate.
The division of the slide gates into two slide gate members does not pose any sealing problems because the edges of two slide gate members forming a pair and facing each other, can be constructed to form an effective seal, for example, by a male and female type overlap. If required, sealing strips may be inserted into the edges or the edges may be covered by an elastic material which provides a good seal. In operation these seals are stationary so that their wear and tear is minimized.
By supporting the slide gates or slide gate members, at relatively closely spaced intervals along the gate edges, it is assured that the gates are properly guided in their movement and that the gates cannot bend out of shape under the compression loads to which they are exposed in operation. Preferably, the gate supports are studs having a flattened surface in contact with the bottom of the respective gate or gate member. These studs can be relatively short and are thus easily located out of the flow cross-sectional area so as not to interfere with the material flow into the sluice container and out of the sluice container. Further, the flattened surfaces may be easily lubricated to assure a minimum friction for the movement of the gates.
In order that the invention may be clearly understood, it will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a vertical section substantially along section line 1--1 in FIG. 2;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view substantially along section line 2--2 in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 illustrates, on an enlarged scale, the sealing means and lubricating means for the lateral edges of the slide gate or slide gate members; and
FIG. 4 illustrates the construction of the facing edges of two slide gate members forming a pair.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the present sluice type apparatus comprises a box type sluice container 1 having an inlet 2 at its top and an outlet 3 at its bottom. The inlet at the top is connected to a pressurized enclosure 4 such as a conduit leading, for example, to a pressurized filtering apparatus not shown. The bottom outlet 3 leads into a discharge duct 5 which is not pressurized. The inlet 2 and the outlet 3 have a cross-sectional opening area corresponding approximately to the flow cross-sectional area defined by a horizontal section through the container 1. Thus, restrictions in the through-flow area are avoided, whereby clogging is also avoided. Slide gate means comprising a pair of slide gate members 6 and 7 . open and close the inlet 2. Two slide gate members 6a and 7a are arranged for opening and closing the outlet 3. These gates are operable so that the gate members 6 and 7 are in the closing position as shown in FIG. 1 for keeping the pressurized enclosure 4 under pressure while the gate members 6a and 7a are in the outlet opening position as shown in FIG. 1 for discharging a batch of material into the conduit 5. Thus, when the gate members 6a and 7a are closed, the gate members 6 and 7 are opened and vice versa.
According to the invention at least the slide gate members 6 and 7 are movable into outwardly closed and sealed chambers 8 and 8a respectively. Each chamber 8, 8a has a top cover 8b that may be arranged to be removable to provide a cleaning access into the chambers 8, 8a. The bottom of each chamber 8, 8a is also closed by a wall 8c. The wall 8c could be located below the lower slide gate members 6a, 7a, so that both pairs of slide gate members would be movable into the respective chamber 8, 8a. However, as shown, it is sufficient to primarily move the upper pair of slide gate members 6, 7 into the hermetically sealed chambers 8, 8a to help maintain the pressurization of the container 1 and of the pressurized enclosure 4 as will be described in more detail below. The chamber 8 has an inner lateral wall 11a which may be a common wall with the container 1. The chamber 8a has an inner wall 11b that may also be a common wall with the container 1. A guide slot 10a is provided in the wall 11a. A guide slot 10b is provided in the wall 11b so that the upper slide gate members 6 and 7 may pass through these guide slots respectively for opening and closing the inlet 2. The slide gate member 6 is driven by a piston cylinder device 9a having a piston rod 9b connected to the slide gate member 6. The slide gate member 7 is driven by a piston cylinder device 9c having a piston rod 9d connected to the slide gate member 7. The slide gate member 6a is driven by a piston cylinder device 9e having a piston rod 9f connected to the member 6a. The slide gate member 7a is driven by a piston cylinder device 9g having a piston rod 9h connected to the slide gate member 7a. The piston cylinder devices 9a, 9c, 9e, and 9g, constitute individually controllable drive means for the slide gate members for performing the above mentioned operation so that the inlet 2 is closed when the outlet 3 is open and vice versa. Sealing strips 23 held in a groove of a sealing molding 23a under the bias of spring elements 23b bear against the surface 10 of each of the slide gate members 6, 7, 6a, 7a. These seals can be of relatively simple construction because they are not required to be pressure tight. Rather, the seals 23 contacting the upper slide gate member 6, 7 merely keep the bulk material out of the chamber 8, 8a while the seals 23 contacting the lower slide member 6a, 7a, merely keep the surfaces of these lower slide gate members clean. Similarly, if the bottom 8c of the chambers 8, 8a should be located below the respective slide gate member 6a, 7a, the respective seals 23 would merely prevent material from entering into the chamber rather than providing a pressure tight seal.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 in conjunction, the slide gates 6,7,6a, and 7a are supported by supporting means 22 located along the edges of the respective gate. The supporting means 22 comprise a plurality of studs 16 secured to mounting rails 16a as will be described in more detail below with reference to FIG. 3. Each stud 16 has a flattened surface 16b in contact with the bottom of the respective slide gate member 6, 7, 6a, 7a. These support studs are spaced horizontally from one another sufficiently close so as to prevent any bending of the gates in the closing position Thus, in the area of the respective sluice container 1 the studs 16 may be spaced more closely than in the area of the chamber 8 and 8a.
Referring to FIG. 3, the support studs 16 are rigidly secured to the mounting rail 16a for example by nut and bolts 16c and a spacer member 16d. A lubricating nipple 116e is connected through a lubricating duct 16f to the slide and guide surface 16b.
FIG. 3 further shows a sealing device with a sealing strip 19 held in place between moldings 17 and 18 secured to the mounting rail 16a by conventional means. The sealing strip 19 is movable horizontally back and forth under the pressure of a spring 19a held in a cylinder 21 and bearing against a piston 20 rigidly secured to a piston rod 20a which is horizontally slidable back and forth and guided for this purpose by a guide hole 20b in a spring pressure adjustment nut 20c which may be tightened or loosened of adjusting the biasing force of the spring 19a. A plurality of such sealing pressure adjusting devices are arranged alongside the edges of the slide gate members. These devices are secured to the mounting rail 16a and a right-hand end of the piston rod 20a passes through the respective rail 16a. These devices 21 are secured to the mounting rails as also seen in FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 illustrates a sectional, enlarged view of the facing edges of the slide gate members 6 and 7. The slide gate member 6 has a depression 6' into which a projecting portion 13 of the gate member 7 reaches to provide a proper seal in the closing position of the gate members shown in FIG. 4. The edge portion 12 below the recess 6' cooperates with the edge portion 13 in providing a proper seal which may be reinforced by a sealing strip 14 as shown. Incidentally, the piston cylinder devices 9a, 9c, 9e, and 9g may be mounted to rail sections 9' similar to the rail sections 16a whereby the rail sections 9' and 16a together form rectangular boxes of standardized construction for holding the guide studs 16 as well as the sealing devices 21 and 23. The studs 16 may be provided in the form of support blocks cut from either tubular stock having a flat portion on the top to form the guide surface 16b, or from solid round stock also having a flat top portion to form the surface 16b. The gates and their mounting means are all of an identical construction so that an upper slide gate mounting with its gates may be exchanged against a lower slide gate and its mounting. The moldings 17 and 18 form a groove in which the sealing strip 19 is held. The sealing strip 19 may cooperate only with one wall member 15 of the respective slide gate. Preferably, the slide gates are double walled as best seen in FIG. 4. Such double walled construction is well suited to take up the pressure involved.
The sluice according to the invention effectively prevents a pressure drop in the enclosure 4 when material must be moved out of the enclosure 4 which is under pressure. The pressure drop is prevented due to the effective seals provided by the chambers 8 and 8a which are substantially at the same pressure as the container 1 when the slide gate members 6 and 7 are open and when the slide gate members 6a and 7a are closed. It has been found to be acceptable that minor quantities of the material passing through the sluice can enter into the chambers 8 and 8a through the gaps 10a and 10b because the material can be easily cleaned out of the chambers, for example when the apparatus is not in operation, imply by opening the top covers 8b which may be screwed to the mounting rails. It may also be possible to simply detach the upper drive units 9a, 9c, for a cleaning operation. A vacuum cleaner type hose may then easily be inserted into the chambers 8, 8a. Another advantage of the invention is seen in that the present structure may have any desired vertical height so that the present sluice is easily adapted to different requirements. It has been found that the throughput of the present sluice can well be in excess of 150 tons per hour. Further, the seals such as shown at 19 and at 23, are not subject to heavy wear and tear. Besides, these seals can be easily replaced, since they are readily accessible.
Although the invention has been described with reference to specific example embodiments, it will be appreciated that it is intended to cover all modifications and equivalents within the scope of the appended claims.

Body fat redistribution syndrome
|It has been suggested that this article be merged into HIV-associated lipodystrophy. (Discuss) Proposed since September 2014.
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2007) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Body fat redistribution (BFR) syndrome, sometimes called fat derangement, is a medical condition characterized by fat loss (or occasionally fat gain), often in the cheeks or face. BFR most often occurs in HIV/AIDS patients undergoing antiretroviral therapy.
No firm definition of body fat redistribution syndrome exists as yet. At least four syndromes have been described that are characterized by the accumulation of fat, and one by the loss of fat; combinations of these may occur in an individual. Gender, age, and pre-therapy body weight appear to influence the severity of BFR in patients. BFR is distinct from lipodystrophy, which simply refers to fat loss.
The most common manifestations of body fat redistribution are accumulations of fat in the central body in the form of a fat pad on the back of the neck and an accumulation of visceral fat in the abdomen or belly. This fat accumulation is accompanied by a loss of subcutaneous fat in the face, arms, legs, and buttocks.
Adverse effects[edit]
Cosmetic concerns may cause patients to refuse or stop treatment. If severe enough, the fat accumulation may result in sleep apnea or other sleep disorders, migraines, decreased range of motion, discomfort due to pressure on internal organs, and general loss of condition. Fat loss may result in pain in the buttocks when seated. Other potential complications resulting from BFR include high cholesterol, high levels of triglycerides, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, diabetes, gout, and cardiovascular disease. BFR is also associated with certain metabolic abnormalities such as elevations of plasma sugar and fats, but the precise relationship is unknown.
Treatment of symptoms may include cosmetic surgery such as collagen implants; treatment of the underlying syndrome may include changing from protease inhibitors to an NNRTI.

Two days after forward Marty Erat confirmed he's asked the Capitals to trade him, the agent for defenseman Dmitry Orlov said he has asked general manager George McPhee to trade the 22-year-old blue liner. "Obviously, what Dmitry would like is to be traded," agent Mark Gandler told CSNWashington.com Wednesday, "because he has no future in Washington whatsoever, zero chance for him. "I think his value as a player is diminishing with every day and the team is losing valuable time and also ruining his career." Taken by the Capitals in the second round of the 2009 NHL draft, Orlov played 60 games under Dale Hunter two seasons ago and played five more games under Adam Oates last season. This year, he has been recalled from the Hershey Bears five times but has yet to play a game for the Capitals. In 10 games for the Hershey Bears Orlov is fourth on the team in scoring with three goals and six assists for nine points. Gandler and McPhee confirmed that Orlov, who is in the final year of his three-year entry-level contract, has a clause in it that states he has the right to play in the Kontinental Hockey League if he is on the Capitals' roster fewer than 30 days before Jan. 1. Orlov has spent 19 days on the Caps' roster, all of them as a practice player.

West Seattle, Washington
Thanks for the tips! Signage has just gone up for two more food-and-beverage establishments on the way to Junction 47 – a restaurant called Vine & Spoon on the southwest side of the complex, in the 4700 block of California, and a bar called Alchemy on the southeast side of the complex, in the 4700 block of 42nd SW.
As mentioned here a while back, we'd been told the spaces were all leased, but that the proprietors of these spaces weren't ready to uncloak yet. We've reached the spokesperson for both, Lesa Linster, who shared this information with WSB:
Vine & Spoon will be a full-service restaurant and bar serving upscale American cuisine in the heart of West Seattle.
(updated) Led by Executive Chef Christopher Jensen along with celebrated chefs Larkin Young and Bryan Ogden, Vine and Spoon is anchored by a belief in real food grown and harvested by the community. All dishes are made with locally sourced ingredients that are organic and non GMO. In addition, all meat is grass fed and wild caught by farmers and local suppliers. The restaurant boasts a private dining area, an open kitchen, an 18-seat bar, and a large garden patio area for outdoor dining. The menu includes a full variety of small bites, large sharable plates, and a dessert menu to satisfy every sweet tooth. The bar offers craft cocktails and an extensive selection of local wine and craft beer. Open daily from 11 a.m.- 12 a.m. with brunch service on weekends. Happy hour will be daily from 4-7 p.m.
Alchemy will be a chemistry-themed cocktail bar featuring molecular mixology techniques and a unique science and potions design aesthetic. Our bartenders will be mixing up colorful craft cocktail reactions in test tubes and flasks using beakers, cylinders, and other scientific devices. The theme will carry over into our drink presentations which will be interactive and fun. The menu will be created by our executive chefs and award-winning master mixologists with a great happy hour featuring delicious small bites. The cocktail bar will be open Sunday – Thursday from 3 pm – 11 pm, and Friday – Saturday from 3 pm – 12 am.
Both are under the same ownership, Linster confirms, as well as a third establishment mentioned on the same website, "The Sweetest Sin" (no details on that yet). She adds that Alchemy's menu will also be developed by Chef Jensen. Full announcements on all this are due soon – but this is what we have for starters.
On the same night that much-awaited Dumplings of Fury opened a few blocks away, another much-awaited new Junction restaurant had a very quiet "soft opening" – Kizuki Ramen and Izakaya (4203 SW Alaska).
We only noticed because of a reader tip that Kizuki might finally – after months of promising "soon" – be opening this week; then while running an errand this evening between coverage of unrelated stories, we detoured over for a look, and discovered they were allowing potential customers in.
"Irasshaimase!" could be heard from outside, every time someone stepped in – that's Japanese for "welcome!" We subsequently sent in our photographer, who learned the official opening day will be next Monday (July 25th). From thereon out, they're expecting to start with 11 am-2:30 pm lunch hours and reopening at 5 pm for dinner. It's been almost a year since first word that Kizuki – at the time called Kukai – was on the way; many reader questions about its progress in the ensuing months led us to bring you multiple updates, like this one in February with a sneak peek at the design (compare to the photos in this story that we took tonight).
Story and photos by Randall Hauk
Reporting for West Seattle Blog
As reported here a few weeks ago, Dumplings of Fury is set to furiously serve several styles of dumplings to the masses tomorrow when the hotly anticipated restaurant officially opens for business at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Proprietor Ben Jenkins used a "soft open" Tuesday night to give his new venture a test run, giving a handful of Westsiders the chance to see the completed space and, more importantly, sample the food.
An abbreviated menu available Tuesday night offered guests not only a variety of dumpling options, but also revealed steamed-bun sandwiches and soup.
Patrons will also be able to indulge in strawberry or mango bubble tea, soft drinks, bottled beer, and wine served in cans.
The shop has minimal countertop seating, with eight bar stools inside the rather small space and another four small tables arranged for al-fresco dumpling eating. Considering the fairly quick preparation of the food, however, turnover of the seating should not be an enormous problem. Even so, orders Tuesday were conveniently packaged in fairly robust to-go containers.
Matt Siegel and Deborah Caul of Columbia City stumbled upon the restaurant opening via a "bit of serendipity" and managed to get a preview of what many West Seattle restaurant-goers have long been awaiting.
"It's fresh, and hot, and a little bit different," says Caul, who says the couple had come to The Junction to have dinner at Lee's Asian Restaurant across the street, but learned too late that the Junction fixture is closed Tuesdays.
Siegel says the Xai Long Bao (soup dumpling) reminded him of wildly successful Taiwanese dumpling restaurant Din Tai Fung and that, despite the 20-minute drive from Columbia City, he'd return for more. "I'd come over here before I'd go to Bellevue."
West Seattleites Ashley Coulson and Stephanie Moores were instant fans of the restaurant, praising not only the food, but the assortment of wines, the quality of the table chili, and "the best people-watching" from the outdoor tables.
Dumplings of Fury – first mentioned here 11 months ago – will be open daily Wednesday through Sunday, from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., 4302 SW Oregon. Jenkins says that extending hours later, particularly on weekends, is a possibility down the road.
Three and a half months after we brought you first word that Shelby's Bistro and Ice Creamery was on the way to the northeast corner of California/Edmunds in The Junction – it's opening day!
We were there just before 11 am as proprietor Shelby Varden cut the ribbon, with help from his parents Fay and Bill. Remodeling of the space was still under way when last we checked in, but now it's all ready for diners:
That's just part of the space, which as we reported last month also includes areas that can be configured for groups, including a private room that has the only video monitor you'll find in Shelby's, just in case it's needed for anything from a business lunch to a party. Here's the finished mural on the north interior wall:
Shelby explained it to us last month as "the story of ice cream." Speaking of which, here's a photo of the menu with the ice-cream specialties and beverages; here's a photo of the menu with everything else. On hand for the grand opening with Shelby and parents is his husband Mick Prandi, second from left:
Shelby's hours are at the top of its website – if you want to be part of opening day, get there by 9 tonight. And note the mention of "snacky hour" 2-5 pm Tuesdays through Fridays.
P.S. We've recapped this corner's history so often, we're not doing it again, but Shelby's declaration is, "The corner of California Ave SW and SW Edmunds St is turning over a new leaf!"
From today's city Land Use Information Bulletin: The owners of Capitol Hill restaurant/bar Chungee's have canceled their application to rezone their south Morgan Junction home so they can add another Chungee's there. The city Hearing Examiner was supposed to have a hearing tomorrow on the proposed 6921 California SW rezone, but that's off, and the notice in the LUIB says:
On June 16, 2016, the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections (Seattle DCI) published a SEPA decision and recommendation to approve a rezone of property.
The applicant has requested cancellation of their application and Seattle DCI hereby withdraws the decision and recommendation and will cancel the application.
We first reported last August on the rezone/restaurant proposal. While the lot is already zoned Lowrise 2, meaning it can hold more housing than it does now, the owners had sought to add the "Residential Commercial" zoning designation to enable adding a restaurant/bar. This is the second notable West Seattle project cancellation we've reported in less than a week; last Tuesday, we discovered the CVS proposed for the Triangle was off.
9:52 PM: West Seattle's most-asked-about restaurant-in-progress has set an opening date. During an event at Shadowland tonight, as dumplings were circulated, we heard from a reliable source that its sibling establishment Dumplings of Fury – just across the California/Oregon intersection – expects to open on Wednesday, July 20th. Looking for confirmation, we see the date announcement was tucked away in this online corner.

West Seattle Blog editor
Shelby Varden sees California Avenue SW through the West Seattle Junction as having some of the flavor of Disneyland's Main Street USA.
By the time the West Seattle Grand Parade comes marching and rolling down that street next month, he expects to have Shelby's Bistro and Ice Creamery open right at the end of the route, on the northeast corner of California and Edmunds.
We brought you first word of the plan back in early April, but it was a quick update, after numerous readers spotted signs of activity at the 4752 California SW site, in what had been the abruptly closed Westside Public House, following the abruptly closed Terrible Beauty, among other predecessors. When we briefly caught up with Varden in the early stage of the remodel, he invited us to check back when his establishment was closer to opening – now set for July 19th – and we recently did just that.
Varden (above right) and recently hired chef Justin Reed (above left) gave us a tour of the space – now about 75 percent of the way to completion – and a preview of what they're planning: Read More
Four biznotes this afternoon, all from The Junction:
THUNDER ROAD GUITARS' NEW HOURS: Proprietor Frank Gross wants you to know that Thunder Road Guitars (4736 California SW; WSB sponsor) has new hours:
Tuesdays-Saturdays 10 am – 6 pm
Sundays – Closed
Mondays – Closed
Online 24/7
By the way, if you didn't already know, along with the website at thunderroadguitars.com, TRG's online presence also includes a popular Instagram account, highlighted by "today's catch."
AZUMA SUSHI'S VACATION: The recent change to six days a week has worked so well that the hard-working proprietors of Azuma Sushi (4533 California SW) are now planning their "first extended vacation since we opened 16 years ago!" according to signage all around the restaurant. The vacation closure will be Sunday, July 3, through Sunday, July 17, and the restaurant will reopen on Monday, July 18.
KIZUKI RAMEN'S DELAY: We continue to get questions about when this new restaurant at 42nd/Alaska will open. They have a new public update: "Early to mid-July" because of an "unexpected delay."
DUMPLINGS OF FURY SOON: This much-asked-about restaurant-in-progress (4302 SW Oregon) also has a brand-new public update: "Trying to get the last inspection scheduled now. Training up staff. All good stuff. Can't nail a date until the inspection is scheduled though. Those guys are busy so we will keep hopes high that happens fast."
One day after the official grand opening of Pecos Pit Bar-B-Que in West Seattle, today is the new restaurant's first full day in business, and we're welcoming them as a new WSB sponsor. As with all new local sponsors, Pecos Pit gets the chance to let you know what they're about:
We believe in BBQ's primal power: The artful use of wood, fire, and smoke to enhance the quality of one's life and "spread the love." So … we are taking this power, fusing it into an innovative business model and delivering a simpler but better BBQ experience. Do Well, Do Good, Have Fun!
After 35 years of having a single Pecos Pit Bar-B-Que location on 1st Avenue, Ron and Debra Wise have teamed up with Gerry Kingen to share their iconic Seattle jewel with the rest of the world. The new Pecos Pit location serves the same famous Pecos Pit BBQ found on 1st Ave for decades, along with some new habit-forming options. Offerings include our traditional pork, beef, and chicken sandwiches in a decidedly sloppy style, plus beef brisket and hot links. (Explore the menu here.)
New variations include stuffed smoked potatoes (sweet or russet) and a "Walkaround Bowl" filled with the meat of your choice plus cheese, cold slaw and sauce. We also serve healthy salads made with your choice of smoked meat, or have it veggie style with baby kale, olives, tomatoes, cowboy caviar, cheddar cheese, and blue cheese or ranch dressing. You can even buy bulk, smoked meats, including Pecos pork, beef brisket, turkey legs and smoked chicken.
Pecos Pit Bar-B-Que's new West Seattle restaurant is located at 4400 35th Avenue SW. Our hours are 11 a.m.– 9 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 11 a.m.–10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. We have indoor and outdoor seating; you can order ahead by phone at 206-708-7691; or, use the drive-through. Our 16 parking spaces are next door, off the alley, to the east.
We thank Pecos Pit Bar-B-Que for sponsoring independent, community-collaborative neighborhood news via WSB; find our current sponsor team listed in directory format here, and find info on joining the team by going here.
Pecos Pit Bar-B-Que (WSB sponsor) is now officially open at 35th and and Fauntleroy, after a ribbon-cutting ceremony this afternoon:
That's City Councilmember Lisa Herbold next to proprietor Gerry Kingen at right in the top photo. Below, Kingen and wife Kathy Kingen (at left) were also officially welcomed by the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce's CEO Lynn Dennis and president Elizabeth Pluhta of South Seattle College (WSB sponsor):
Pecos Pit is open until 9 tonight. It's the first of what the Kingens, who own Salty's on Alki (WSB sponsor), plan will be multiple franchised locations of the SODO-born barbecue restaurant.
Three West Seattle restaurant notes:
IRASHAI NOW OPEN: While covering the "Group Hug for The Admiral" this morning, we noticed the banner across the street at Irashai, the Japanese restaurant that took over the former Mawadda Café space. When it opened at 11 am, we ducked in to ask a few questions. This is the second day of the restaurant's "soft open," we learned; its operators have another restaurant by the same name in Alaska. The hours might change depending on how things are going, but for now they are posted as 11 am-9 pm Mondays-Thursdays, 11 am-10 pm Fridays and Saturdays, noon-9 pm Sundays.
PECOS PIT OPENING DATE: Pecos Pit BBQ at 35th and Fauntleroy has announced it will open on June 21st. It's totally remodeled and expanded the former Beni Hoshi/Yasuko's Teriyaki space. According to an announcement sent to the Junction Neighborhood Organization, a ribboncutting is planned at 3 pm on June 21st, and the restaurant will welcome its first customers at 4 pm.
SHELBY'S OPENING DATE: It's been two months since we reported on Shelby's Bistro and Ice Creamery, taking over the former Westside Public House space on the northeast corner of California and Edmunds in The Junction. This establishment has also announced an opening date: July 19th.
Nine months ago, we reported that the proprietors of Capitol Hill's Chungee's Drink 'N Eat were seeking to rezone and remodel their Morgan Junction home in order to convert it into another branch of their popular restaurant and bar. Rezoning requires City Council approval, and today's Land Use Information Bulletin brings word that the official comment period on this part of the project is now open for two weeks – here's the official notice. The rezoning proposal for the site, 6921 California SW, is the same as it was last August – seeking a "contract rezone" from Lowrise 2 to Lowrise 2 – Residential Commercial, the same zoning as parcels to the south, as noted in our report last August. "Contract rezone" means it's related to a specific proposal, not just a general designation change. If you're interested in commenting, you can use this form linked from today's notice; deadline is June 13th. (King County Assessor's Office photo)
Two months after we got word that Bok a Bok Korean Fried Chicken was on the way to White Center, it's opening Wednesday, and invited media in tonight. We dropped in for a few photos and updates – including, most importantly if you're interested, the menu! See it on WCN.
After almost seven years under its current ownership, Angelina's in The Admiral District has closed. We went to the restaurant at 2311 California SW to investigate after getting tips from two readers, and got confirmation. West Seattleites Skip and Allison Rich bought Angelina's from its longtime previous owners in 2009, remodeling it, adding a bar, and removing "Trattoria" from its name before reopening it that fall. Here's the text of the note that Allison tells WSB they will be posting:
Dear West Seattle,
It is with great sadness that we have closed the doors for good. We could no longer balance our personal lives and the restaurant. We have given all we have to this baby for 7 years and it is time now to start a new chapter in our lives.
We thank each and every one of you for your support throughout the years. We have watched your children grow up and watched lives change in many ways. It was our pleasure serving you! We will miss you more than you will ever know. As you were customers, you were family to us! With every lasagna, chicken parm or Rod's scramble we served, we did it with all our hearts.
Thank you Admiral District for treating us so well! We will miss you terribly.
All our love and thanks,
Allison and Skip
Their restaurant has been, and still is, up for sale.
The most delicious fundraiser of the year is now just a yummy memory – the Taste of West Seattle, with dozens of food/beverage providers delighting hundreds of ticketholders, filled The Hall at Fauntleroy on Thursday night – all to help West Seattle Helpline provide emergency assistance to neighbors in need.
From title sponsor Metropolitan Market, Jude and Megan were serving crostini topped with stretched mozzarrella and tomato bruschetta:
Also from Admiral, Mioposto's Bobby, Jeremy, Tiah, and Jayme served Tomato-Tonnato Salad:
From The Junction, Dream Dinners West Seattle was there with Kim, Gretchen, and Leslie presenting chipotle shrimp with mango salsa:

As A la Mode Pies proprietor Chris Porter puts it, this is a big day/night for him and his growing company. Above, the window wrap is going up right now at their future West Seattle Junction expansion location on SW Alaska just east of California SW, on the ground floor of Junction 47; in honor of that, he's inviting you to suggest WS-centric names for the "boozy milkshakes" they'll be offering. (With Husky Deli ice cream!) You might recall hearing about the milkshakes, pies, and more when we first reported last month on Porter's plan for A la Mode Pies to expand here.
As part of the introduction to this community (which will be its second shop, after Phinney), A la Mode Pies also will be at the sold-out Taste of West Seattle food-and-drink fundraiser tonight in Fauntleroy, benefiting the WS Helpline. Porter himself will be at another event – the Puget Sound Business Journal "Business of Pride" event, at which he says A la Mode Pies will be recognized as one of the 25 largest LGBTQ-owned businesses in the region.
Now – your help needed! Porter is inviting WSB readers to suggest names for the five "boozy milkshakes" that West Seattle A la Mode Pies will offer.
Here's the criteria:
· Hyper Local – Submissions might be influenced by a West Seattle neighborhood, a popular West Seattle destination, tourist attraction, or local saying. The name could also include something West Seattleites take pride in – like the largest employer, historical reference, or pillar of the community.
· The more whimsical, irreverent, and catchy the better.
· Relates to the ingredients in the shake (see descriptions below). Does the proposed name provide a hint as to what the boozy milkshake might taste like?
· Short-and-Sweet. Ideally, each submission will be no more than 2-3 words, as it needs to fit on a menu.
Here's a description of each proposed boozy milkshake:
1. Cinnamon Apple – Vanilla Ice Cream, Cinnamon Whiskey, Hard Cider – served with cinnamon & sugar pie fries
2. Grasshopper – Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, Vodka, Crème de Menthe – drizzled with chocolate ganache
3. Banana – Salted Caramel Ice Cream, Coffee Liquor, Rum, Fresh Bananas – drizzled with homemade caramel
4. Key Lime – Vanilla Ice Cream, Key Lime Juice, Tequila, Triple Sec – served with crushed graham crackers
5. Blue Hawaiian – Coconut Ice Cream, Fresh Blueberries, Malibu Rum, Crushed Pineapple – topped with toasted coconut
Got one suggestion – or five – or more? Please post in the comment section (if you're reading this from the home page, either click the headline and scroll down, or click the word comment/s under the headline). Decisions will be made within a week or two. Meantime, Porter hopes to have A la Mode Pies open in The Junction in September.
Thanks for the tip that the signage is up for Irashai, taking over the former Mawadda Café space at 2352 California SW in The Admiral District. When last we reported on this space in March, Mawadda's proprietor indicated they would soon shut down – which they did – but wouldn't confirm that Irashai was taking over, though a liquor-license application was already in the works. Now, there's also a remodeling permit on file. We haven't made contact with Irashai's proprietor(s) yet but will update when we do. One more thing the signage reveals, besides the name – sushi seems to be part of the plan, underscored by the one detail in a document found online related to the remodel – "install sushi bar."
8:50 AM: The founder and namesake of West Seattle to White Center to West Seattle restaurant Meander's says she's out. Here's what Miranda Krone posted on the restaurant's Facebook page this morning, three months after its newest incarnation opened in the ex-Kokoras Greek Grill space in Morgan Junction:
Well, golly folks. I guess I spoke too soon; stick a fork in it, Meander's is done.
Kim has decided to dissolve our partnership, effective immediately.
I understand that she has chosen to forge on with her own restaurant and her own menu in the space, but it is no longer Meander's.
To all of the friends and neighbors who have supported us through the years, thank you. You have no idea how much you've meant to me, and how much I'll miss you.
We had been in contact with Krone recently while seeking more information on the liquor-license posting at the former Ripple Café space at 35th SW/SW Henderson, which had suggested another Meander's enterprise would open there. She tells WSB now, "That lease has since been voided."
BACKSTORY: The California SW location was the fourth location for Meander's, which originally opened in early 2011 in the former Jade West Café at 6032 California SW (now home to Harry's Chicken Joint). In fall 2012, the café moved to a big White Center space (now home to Noble Barton), downsizing to another WC spot about a block south in late summer 2013 until closing there last November. While her business road has been bumpy – and she acknowledges that – Krone's fans are passionate about her food. On FB, she's telling commenters she might try "some pop-ups" in the future.
11:30 PM: In comments, we've now heard from Kim Depew, who's continuing to run the restaurant at 6400 California SW.
Five quick West Seattle (and vicinity) food notes:
WILDWOOD MARKET: Finally an answer to the question of "what's going in at the old Guadalajara Restaurant?" at 9214 45th SW in Fauntleroy. Wildwood Market's website says it will open this fall, a market and sandwich shop described as "… your locally owned community-focused eatery … A modern take on Seattle's old neighborhood corner stores, you will find wholesome foods, beer & wine, and staples for your fridge & pantry, in a family-friendly atmosphere."
(added Wednesday night) We reached Lonjina Verdugo, part of the Wildwood Market team, who you might remember as proprietor of the Center Studio in White Center. She says it's a family operation, and they're modeling it on a market in Washington, D.C., that a relative operates. "With permits and remodeling, we are hoping to open this Fall if not sooner. Very excited!"
(back to original report) HARRY'S CHICKEN JOINT ON VACATION: Don't get alarmed if you find Harry's Chicken Joint (6032 California SW) closed; proprietor Bruce sent a note this morning to say, "We are taking a much-needed rest and vacation and will be closed until Friday, June 3rd."
CRAWFISH AT CIRCA TODAY: Circa proprietor Gretchen e-mailed to say they're doing another crawfish boil at the Admiral restaurant (2605 California SW) today, 11:30 am-4 pm. Gumbo too. (And their regular menu is available as well.)
PROLETARIAT PIZZA LAUNCHES BRUNCH: As of last weekend, "the pizza that made White Center famous" – created by the Albaeck family of West Seattle – is now serving brunch on weekends, 9 am-noon. Get a taste by checking out the first brunch menu on our partner site White Center Now.
KIZUKI RAMEN UPDATE: This is the number one reader question in the restaurant realm right now – "when is Kizuki Ramen opening in The Junction?" Especially since the sign went up recently (thanks for the pic!):
Latest answer we've found to the "WHEN?" question: "In a few weeks."
(And yes, we're following up on a hefty helping of other eats/drinks on the way; more news as we confirm it!)

The West Seattle Junction's pieshoplessness will soon be over: A la Mode Pies is expanding this way.
Proprietor Chris Porter just signed the lease for a prime spot in Junction 47, facing SW Alaska just east of California.
A la Mode will be the first pie shop in The Junction since Shoofly closed almost two years ago.
It will be the second café/bakery for A la Mode Pies, joining the Phinney location.
We talked with Porter by phone to get the scoop on what the café will be like.
Thursday is the annual Dining Out for Life fundraiser, with more than 100 restaurants around Seattle donating part of their proceeds to Lifelong, supporting its Chicken Soup Brigade, which provides food to people living with HIV and other chronic illnesses. Here's who's participating in West Seattle/White Center, and during which daypart(s) on Thursday, according to the regional list:
Noble Barton (9635 16th SW), donating 30 percent all day/night
El Chupacabra at Alki (2620 Alki SW), donating 30 percent at lunchtime
Buddha Ruksa (3520 SW Genesee), donating 30 percent at dinnertime
Locöl Barley and Vine (7902 35th SW), donating 30 percent at dinnertime/late-night
If you're going to be outside WS/WC on Thursday and still want to support Dining Out for Life, search other neighborhoods here.
If you've been thinking about Sunday dinner at Azuma Sushi in The Junction, you have two more chances, tonight and next Sunday. As of May 1st, Azuma will be closed on Sundays. And that means a regular day off for this mainstay:
That's Harry Tu, co-proprietor and sushi chef for Azuma, who has worked seven days a week since the restaurant opened in 2000. We photographed him while lunching there on Saturday, after getting a tip from a patron about the notices posted throughout the restaurant and on the menus:
Harry's standards are exacting, we're told, and so even though Sundays have been a half-day at Azuma, open just for dinner, he's still worked a full day, coming in early to prepare the fish and vegetables with which his creations are made. But starting two weeks from today, he and everyone at Azuma will get Sundays off. Their hours are staying the same otherwise.

A federal indictment against a Genoa man alleges he committed one count of wire fraud and 48 counts of money laundering related to a Ponzi scheme.
The charges were filed last week against Terrance Osberger, 48, said Steven Dettelbach, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio.
A Curtice family welcomed a group of very special guests who dropped – or rather, rolled in for lunch July 18. Tammy and Scott Henegar waited with anticipation for the arrival of the JettRide – a cross-country cycle tour for teens to raise funds and awareness to fight Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
It's a cause close to the Henegars' heart. Two years ago, their son Braedan, now 6, was diagnosed with Duchenne – a progressive muscle disorder that causes loss of muscle function and independence.
If you've seen large black plumes of smoke rising from the wetlands and marsh areas along the southern shore of Lake Erie you've probably seen the Ottawa Soil and Water Conservation District at work.
The district, working with other governmental and non-profit organizations, has been conducting controlled burns to rid the marshes and wetlands of an invasive plant species, focusing on the species Phragmites australis – also known as the common reed – in particular.
Public Service Director Paul Roman said at a council meeting on Monday that he will recommend that Dustin Road be repaved in phases.
Dustin Road and Isaac Streets Drive for years have been in poor condition. Roman said last year that Dustin and Isaac Streets are among the worst roads in the city.
The city sought grants to help fund the costly $2 million project, but was unsuccessful.
Chamber raising funds for new playground
Plans for a new playground at Pearson Metropark call for more than the typical swings and slides. The new landscape will have those elements, of course, but the Pearson Playscape will offer much more.
New playgrounds in the Metroparks are being designed with unique, interactive sculptures created by a local company to reflect the natural environments of the parks. At Pearson, the new playground will incorporate sculptures of trees and animals that are enticing to children and educational at the same time.

Green Lacks Plan B, but Politics (and Beard) May Be Out
By DEAN E. MURPHY and MICHAEL COOPER
Published: December 3, 2001
When Mark Green spoke recently with Ralph Nader, his longtime friend and former employer, he was asked a question that has been on the minds of many New Yorkers: What next?
"He said, `I don't have a Plan B,' " Mr. Nader said. "I think he is pretty devastated. I think it is like he prepared half a lifetime for a job and it was taken away from him in the last minute."
Mr. Nader made a strong suggestion to Mr. Green. Forget about elective politics. Go back to a job in the citizens' movement or become a political commentator on television, things Mr. Green had done before being elected public advocate in 1993.
It has been nearly four weeks since Mr. Green's defeat in the mayoral race against Michael R. Bloomberg. Friends and associates say that he has largely come to terms with the loss but that he remains personally deflated. He is only now beginning to mull over his options for the future, they say.
Rarely shy around the news media, Mr. Green has declined requests to be interviewed. He spends most of his time thanking people who supported him during the campaign, visiting with family and friends, and finishing up business in the public advocate's office, which he must vacate at the end of this month when his term expires.
"He's kind of bummed out, but still Mark," said Danny Goldberg, the chairman and co-owner of Artemis Records, who has been a friend and political supporter of Mr. Green since they met in 1986. "I've been fired a couple of times. That's the closest I can come to understanding what he went through. I'm sure that didn't feel great."
Though comparisons to a sulking Al Gore after last year's presidential election are inevitable, Mr. Green's friends said he would not remain on the sidelines for long. He has already patched up relations with former Mayor Edward I. Koch, who backed Mr. Bloomberg in the general election, and he has been reaching out to Mr. Nader and other friends and associates from his past.
"I am sure of one thing," said a close friend in New York who recently had dinner with Mr. Green and his family. "He is not going to get fat and grow a beard."
Something else is emerging as a near certainty, according to people who have spoken with Mr. Green since Election Day: Mr. Nader's advice to leave politics, echoed by many others, is resonating with him. Few expect Mr. Green to seek another public office anytime soon — if ever.
Two items appear to be near the top of Mr. Green's career wish list: serving as host on a serious television talk show, along the lines of Charlie Rose, and joining others to establish a large and serious-minded research institution, perhaps a liberal version of the conservative Heritage Foundation, as one friend described the idea.
"I don't see him going back into elective politics," said William J. Bratton, the former police commissioner who was in line to get back his old job had Mr. Green won. "He is now 56. There are other ways to have your voice heard."
Those close to Mr. Green feel that several factors play into that growing determination.
First, Mr. Green seems to have had his fill of campaigning, having now lost bids for the House of Representatives, the United States Senate and City Hall. Having come so close to victory last month — opinion polls showed him ahead of Mr. Bloomberg going into the final days of the race — has given this defeat a certain sense of destiny and finality.
"He made his best effort and it didn't work out," said the friend who recently had dinner with Mr. Green. "It is very tough to envision another campaign."
Second, there are no obvious offices left for a Green candidacy, particularly since next year's field for governor is already locked up. Even if Mr. Bloomberg should be vulnerable in a re-election bid in four years, few of Mr. Green's friends and supporters can see him getting excited about a rematch.
"He may want to wait four more years and then run against Bloomberg's $100 million," Mr. Nader said skeptically. "How many thousands of phone calls would he have to make?"
And third, and most politically important, Mr. Green's unsuccessful bid for mayor and the accusations against his campaign of racial divisiveness during the Democratic runoff against Fernando Ferrer have left the Democratic Party in disarray and have hurt his standing among some in his own party.
"I think that Mark can be as valuable, or more valuable, as an outspoken progressive in the country than in trying to maintain the compromises necessary to placate a fractured Democratic Party in New York City," said the actor Warren Beatty, a supporter of Mr. Green who has known him since 1983.
George Arzt, a Democratic political consultant who advised the mayoral candidates Peter F. Vallone in the primary and Mr. Ferrer in the runoff, said time would probably heal some of the wounds in the Democratic Party. But he suggested that Mr. Green would have difficulty regaining the stature he commanded heading into this year's election.
"Unless something unforeseen happens, I would say that he is, as we say in the trade, damaged goods," Mr. Arzt said. "He came so close. And here he was the champion of minorities and the poor all of his life, and then gets blown away by racial politics. It is so very difficult."

VERY NICE PICTURE, GREAT WORK..LIKE..greetings
The National Geographic has inspired many of my travels: the Rwenzori, New Guinea, Mt. Everest, Socotra, and so many places in the United States. Hopefully, someday I'll return to this fabulous range.
Wonderful flight, Reiner, Beautiful background. Cheers, Roberto.
The Swiss part of the Alps is most treeless and ugly.No woods ,no trees,only ugly pastures and big ugly tunnels.
Too little woods and trees around the lakes ! Why? Because the notoriously greedy Swiss peasants cut off all the trees to make pastures for their cattle in the Alps and for this reason the Alps are not so pretty as they ought to be.

Review: The Coens use 'Hail, Caesar!' to take a silly but smart look at Hollywood's soul
As I was driving home from talking to Joel and Ethan Coen about their latest film, I called my parents, laughing about the way the film folds Hollywood truth into Hollywood fiction. I mentioned that the Loretta Young story was an obvious inspiration for one thread of the film, and my parents seemed confused by the reference. They knew who Loretta Young was, no doubt, but they had never heard the defining story of her personal life because back when Young was still an active movie star, my parents were part of the audience who were protected from the truth to help keep those movie star images squeaky-clean.
