Women in Combat: Battling Nature, Battering Reality by Selwyn Duke, posted February 5, 2013
Senseless advice and nothing nice; that's what little-girls-in-combat policy is made of.
The obvious has already been said about placing women in front-line combat positions. Their presence will reduce unit cohesiveness; male soldiers' natural instinct to protect women will influence battlefield decisions; there will be the problem of sexual impropriety within the ranks and of rape when women are captured; women will have more trouble measuring up to the physical and psychological demands of battle; special accommodations will no doubt be made so that women may tend to feminine concerns; and, as the high pregnancy rate aboard naval vessels has proven, having young men and women operate in close quarters is folly. Yet the truth is that it was just a matter of time before women were allowed in combat; it's a piece that fits seamlessly into the modern sex-role puzzle. And it's not surprising if a majority of Americans support the policy; they are sex-role puzzled.
When I worked with children years ago, one of my students, an 11-year-old boy, guessed that the women's world record for the mile would be faster than the men's when a question about the matter was put to him. In the same vein, a respondent to one of my articles mentioned a young man she knew who opined that women and men should compete together in sports. When she informed him that this would eliminate athletic opportunities for women — boys' American high school records surpass women's world records — he was surprised that the gap between the sexes was so great. You may be surprised at a knowledge gap so great. Don't be.
For a few decades now, children have been raised seeing women in combat. Movies and television shows have long featured masculinized female characters who talk, act, and fight like men — except when they're shown fighting even better and vanquishing men. If a show features a male hero, he almost invariably has to be balanced with a tough(er?) heroine. Professional wrestling will now occasionally even show women grappling with men (yes, it's fake, but not to a seven-year-old). Kids also have equality dogma drummed into them; equality this and equality that, and the only departure from it is when they're exposed to entertainment that makes men appear weak or to specious science indicating female superiority. It is another example of how the left presents the young with a distorted picture of reality.
It's thus no surprise that people make poor decisions on policy affecting the sexes. We better understand the different roles of horses and dogs because we perceive their characteristic strengths and weaknesses; likewise, how can we understand what roles are suggested by the sexes' characteristic qualities if we blind ourselves to them?
Ah, dare I speak of "roles"? Some will now accuse me of fostering sex stereotyping, the very thing the left has been combating with the agenda outlined earlier. (This, by the way, is one of the main reasons Hollywood mainstreamed masculinized female characters: they wanted to change how people think. It worked.) All right, let's discuss stereotypes.
One of these stereotype opponents would be Beck Laxton, a British mother who strives to raises "gender neutral" children and has said, "Stereotypes seem fundamentally stupid. Why would you want to slot people into boxes?" Thus, Laxton believes in allowing her son to find his own sex-role path; as Shine's Piper Weiss tells us, she is on a quest to "let her kid just be a kid." But this raises a question: if putting people in boxes is such an imposition, why put your kid in a kid box?
In other words, why impose species-oriented norms on a child and put him in a human box? After all, we instill ideas about identity and innumerable other things when we put children in clothing; cut their hair; teach them to wash and brush their teeth; teach them language, manners, a conception of virtue, and social norms; and laugh at some behaviors while frowning at others. But do we consider that, like self-professed canine "Wolfie Blackheart," the child may later decide that homo-sapiens status isn't for him?
The point is that it isn't a matter of whether we'll put children in boxes; that is unavoidable.
It's a matter of putting them in the correct boxes.
And we put a little human in a human box not because we've been brainwashed with some arbitrary social construct but because he was born in a human body, and it's better for everyone if is he is socialized as a human than trained as a ferret. His human status involves unique abilities and relative physical weaknesses; thus do we apply "species stereotyping" when raising him. Of course, he may announce when he is 18 that he is a ferret, or something slightly larger, such as Robert Reich. That's what mental institutions are for.
The truth is that we only hear complaints about stereotypes when those stereotypes are out of fashion — or out of favor with the "fashionable" set. For example, it's now common to scoff at traditional female portrayals such as that of devoted housewife June Cleaver in Leave it to Beaver. But what of her husband, Ward? Do little boys dream of growing up, wearing a suit, and working 9 to 5 at a job that is probably drudgery? Yet what would have been better? Should Ward Cleaver have been cast as a layabout Beat Generation type, who some nights never came home, drank like a fish, mainlined heroin, and frequented bathhouses? Would it have been healthy to destroy the Cleaver stereotype and institute a new one such as that reflected in the now cancelled All My Babies' Mommas? I think men should be pushed toward the box of gainfully employed, loving, responsible father — that's the only way civilization can survive. And women have their boxes, too.
This is where "sex stereotyping" (the term gender is misused today) comes into play. Sure, we've heard that it places children in a potential-stifling straitjacket. But there is another theory, one considered self-evident truth not long ago. It goes like this: at issue here isn't negatively connoted "stereotyping." Rather, just as we give humans a species-specific upbringing, we should give a boy a sex-specific upbringing; this is not because we've fallen victim to some arbitrary social construct but because he was born in a boy's body (that's called a clue). Is this stifling? On the contrary, just as you may provide art-specific opportunities to help a child with a proclivity for art exploit his potential, sex-specific childrearing helps the sexes cultivate and augment their unique potential. That is how boys and girls come to full flower as men and women.
I haven't said much here about women in combat, and for good reason. It's just a branch on the feminist tree, a branch whose appearance was just a matter of time. And now I'll be the hatchet man.
Even science, which often eventually catches up with common sense, tells us that the sexes have different characteristic qualities and strengths. And since "male" and "female" are real and different statuses, also real are the adjectives that describe what is characteristic of each one, "masculine" and "feminine." It also then follows that the verbs "masculinize" and "feminize" describe actual changes that really can be effected.
Taking it further, the sexes' different proclivities imply different roles, which we call masculine and feminine roles. Two of these, "mother" and "father," are of inestimable importance because they constitute the nucleus of civilization's central building block: the family. Thus, anything that diminishes the chances of the sexes successfully performing those roles threatens to destroy the family — and, hence, civilization.
Given this, should we accept any social norm that discourages the cultivation of a sex's respective qualities or serves to masculinize women or feminize men? Does it behoove us to steer girls toward masculine endeavors? Those are the big questions — and they get at the big picture.
And this answers the little-picture question of women in combat. If warfare isn't a masculine endeavor, what is? And if putting women in military uniforms, giving them weaponry, and teaching them to be warriors doesn't masculinize them, what does? And what does it say about our society that the masculinization of women has reached this advanced stage?
It says that the feminist tree is deep-rooted and tall, with a canopy that blocks out the light of common sense. The sooner that tree is burnt to ashes with the world's fiercest accelerant, the better.

LONDON (Reuters) - British consumer morale rose in January when people grew less pessimistic about the year ahead and more willing to undertake major purchases, a survey from researchers GfK NOP showed on Thursday.
GfK NOP's headline consumer confidence index rose to -26 from December's -29, beating analysts' forecasts for it to remain unchanged and moving back towards to the 18-month high of -22 hit in November.
"There's a definite note of optimism in these findings," said Nick Moon, managing director of social research at GfK NOP.
"It is too soon to say if more positive views on the general economy mark the start of (a) sustained rise ... indeed the continuing gloom from the high street and the talk of triple-dip recession makes that seem somewhat unlikely - but a rise in two months out of the last three is an encouraging sign," he added.
Britain's economy slipped back into contraction in the last three months of 2012, raising the prospect of its third recession in four years, and three major high street chains hit the rocks in the first couple of weeks of January.
But there have been some more positive signs for consumers from the Bank of England's Funding for Lending Scheme, which appears to have boosted mortgage availability and supported house prices.
The GfK survey showed consumers' appetite to make big purchases was the highest since January 2012, and their confidence about the economy also rose. However, households' own financial situation worsened over the past 12 months, and the outlook appeared no better than in December.
Weak consumer spending - which makes up about 60 percent of all spending in Britain - is one factor behind the sluggish economic recovery, as wages have risen much more slowly than prices.
Economists polled by Reuters expect Britain's economy to grow by just 1.0 percent in 2013 after shrinking by 0.1 percent in 2012, while consumer price inflation is seen at 2.5 percent.
GfK's polled 2,000 Britons between January 4 and January 13 for the survey on behalf of the European Commission.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett has proclaimed the month of May as "Recreation Vehicle and Camping Month" for the 23rd straight year.
"The unique sites, history and culture of Pennsylvania can be discovered by the entire family from the comfort and convenience of recreational vehicles," he said. "I encourages all citizens to pursue their passions and escape with their families on the road across the farthest reaches of our state."

This plucky little Sapphire socket-AM2 board is one of those rare boards that comes complete with integrated graphics. However, we're talking Radeon X300-class 3D power, so it's useful only as a backup.
So what are the drawbacks to its size? Expansion options are limited, with just one single-lane PCI-E slot and two PCI sockets to accompany the 16-lane PCI-E graphics port.
Likewise, the layout around the CPU is cramped, which could cause problems with aftermarket CPU coolers. Stock-clocked performance, however, is solid but not overwhelming. The BIOS lacks memory divider controls and instability creeps in above 250MHz bus speeds.

Hi there,
I have played a few games, winning roughly 33% of them (20/60). Was wondering if anyone had any tips for a relatively new player. I am aware of the general rules, but was wondering if anyone had any strategic tips to help me progress from a new player to someone with a bit more of an idea into what it takes to make a decent fist of winning.
Any help appreciated.

March 09, 2009
Jennifer Leah Horton, OSA Director of Finance and Administration from 1988-1994, passed away on March 9, 2009 at her home in High Point, NC, USA. She was 59.
When Mrs. Horton joined OSA in 1988, the Society owned a townhome at 1816 Jefferson Place, Washington, DC and was renting space at several nearby offices in order to accommodate an increasingly larger staff. Working with Executive Director Jarus Quinn, Horton helped to locate OSA's current headquarters building at 2010 Massachusetts Ave., NW. She also oversaw the relocation project, with overall responsibility for the financing, renovations and the move to the new location. Among Mrs. Horton's other notable achievements at OSA was her selection of Liz Rogan in 1992 as Controller. Rogan became OSA Executive Director in 2002.
When Horton retired, she moved to Greensboro, NC to continue her education at Guilford College. She soon faced a series of health issues: during the month of her graduation, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and she later developed back problems that required surgery. During that surgery, her spinal cord was accidentally severed, leaving her wheelchair-bound. Despite these challenges, Horton led an active life. She was a committed member of the Central North Carolina Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Horton is survived by her husband, Connie Horton.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 21, 2009 at the Pennybyrn Maryfield Retirement Home, 109 Penny Road, High Point, NC.
If you would like to make a donation to the OSA Foundation in remembrance of Jennifer Horton, please go to: www.osa-foundation.org/give.
"Jennifer and Jarus hired me in 1992. She had an enormous job and was a model of effective leadership for the OSA staff and volunteers. Her generosity, hard work and appreciation for a good margarita after a tough day at the office made for wonderful memories. She also somehow knew how to communicate accounting theory to Jarus, quite the accomplishment. Jennifer will forever be remembered by her friends and colleagues at OSA."
Elizabeth Rogan
"Jennifer Horton joined OSA at a critical time in our growth. We were outgrowing our location and needed to find a solution. Jennifer and I began the search for quarters in which the entire staff could be together. We found the building at 2010 Massachusetts Avenue and explored the possibility of a future location there. We managed to make the transfer, but we could never have accomplished it without Jennifer's devotion to the financing, contractor management, current tenant arrangements, and the myriad other tasks associated with the move, not the least of which was a bankrupt contractor. This she did while continuing to manage our day-to-day finances.
Jennifer faced a turning point in her life when her retirement plans were disrupted, first by her diagnosis of MS, and later, by her botched operation. How could her life continue without severe changes? Would she be house-bound in her wheelchair? Andrea Pendleton came to the rescue. She initiated a fund drive to purchase a van with wheelchair access for Jennifer. The fund drive was successful and Jennifer soon mastered the art of driving with hand controls. Although Jennifer's life ended far too soon, her last few years were brightened considerably by the freedom that Andrea's effort had provided."
Jarus W. Quinn
Former OSA Executive Director
"Soon after Jennifer started as OSA's Finance Director, she and I were planning to attend our first CESSE meeting in New York. Since the meeting was at the Waldorf-Astoria, I thought I'd get some 'brownie points' by asking if Jennifer wanted to share a room. She turned me down flat, saying that she preferred to have her own room, so I just made my own reservation.
We travelled to New York together, got to the Waldorf, and went to check in. Jennifer got her key and waited for me. Unfortunately, I had forgotten to guarantee for late arrival, the hotel was sold out, and there were no rooms available! The clerk said that we could stay together and Jennifer graciously agreed to this. But this meant bringing in a rollaway bed, since Jennifer's room was very small with only a twin bed.
How small was it? Well, the only way we could set up an ironing board the next morning was by rolling up the rollaway! The good news was that they switched us to a much larger and more 'Waldorf-like' room for the rest of the meeting...and we saved OSA lots of money."
Andrea Pendleton
Executive Director, American Association of Anatomists
"She was a remarkable woman, with a warm heart and laser-direct insight. The world is a poorer place without her."
Susan Dorn
Dorn & Hanson, PC
"What I remember most about Jennifer was that she wore so many hats at OSA and she was sooo detailed about every one of her jobs. She would follow up on the smallest thing and get it done right...and if she thought you weren't being straight with her, she'd call you on it. One morning I popped into her office to say 'hi.' She'd just gotten off the phone with one of the building's tenants and I could tell she was really angry. In the course of our chat I made a comment about how I could barely fit into the elevator that morning because some guy had a huge ladder in there. She perked up with 'really? What did he look like?' I gave a description and she grabbed the phone, called the tenant back and said 'I have a witness! Your guy did the damage!' Unknown to me, Jennifer had had a 'discussion' with a tenant because there were ladder marks across one of the nice new floors and the tenant had denied ever having a ladder. The tenant fessed up...and I realized just how many things Jennifer had to deal with...right down to ladder marks on the new floors. I really enjoyed working with her."
Jan McInnis
Former OSA staff member turned comedian
"What a great lady she was to work with on the OSA Headquarters project! Here is one of my favorite photos of Jennifer, taken at the opening of the 2010 Massachusetts Avenue building, probably in 1991."
Jeffrey M. Stoiber
AIA, Stoiber and Associates, PC
"Among the first words that I heard from Jennifer were, 'You're hired.' Of course I was very happy and we became fast friends. Her husband, Connie, worked part time for OSA in an old school in Bowie where we stored our books and we became friends as well. The doctor who brought me into this world was named Horton and I always felt that I had a special connection with Jennifer and Connie.
After they left the world of OSA and moved to NC, I stayed with them while my oldest son did a student visit to High Point College. Later, when he enrolled at Elon University I again became a guest in her home. On their last trip to DC a couple of years ago I was able to have them as guests in our home. She marveled at the ramp that I built for her to have easy access to our home for her wheel chair.
Jennifer was a wonderful and kind lady whom I will miss greatly. She was always sending me humorous emails with little personal notes attached about her life in the South with Connie."
Alan N. Tourtlotte
Associate Publisher, OSA
"Jennifer was a very competent, no nonsense individual. She made her opinions very clear."
Paul Kelley
OSA Fellow Emeritus
"I remember my first interview with Jennifer for a position in the Meetings Department. A few weeks later, Jennifer called to ask me to interview for the Peer Review Manager's position. Jennifer thought it was a position more in tune with my background and interests. As it turned out, Jennifer was right - as she most often was. While at OSA, I found Jennifer to be supportive, encouraging and always willing to give of her time to myself and others on staff. Her dedication, drive, and perseverance were extraordinary.
A few years ago, I had the opportunity of meeting up with Jennifer, Connie and a few other 'OSAers' for dinner in Crystal City. To say the least, Jennifer floored me as she recounted her most recent fundraising activities for the MS Society in North Carolina. Here she was in a wheel chair and working tirelessly to raise money, and with so many ideas on how to do so. I had to ask myself, 'How does she do it?' The answer was simple. Jennifer couldn't be any other way. This was 'the same old Jennifer' that I had known at OSA. Jennifer was truly a remarkable woman."
Mary Ann Searby
Former OSA staff member

Justin Bieber May Be Prosecuted for Spitting on His Neighbor Because, You Know, It's Gross
Here's something that ought to make him think twice next time he wants to spew saliva at someone: Justin Bieber is likely to be prosecuted for supposedly spitting on his neighbor.
While the singer denies that he spat at a neighbor who had the audacity to reprimand and chastise him for driving his Ferrari at dangerous speeds in their swanky residential neighborhood, the case is now in the hands of authorities.
TMZ reports that investigators for the sheriff will refer the case to the L.A. Country District Attorney's office for review upon completion of the investigation. It is rumored that they will suggest that criminal battery charges be filed against The Biebs.
Even though the case is still being investigated, it's not looking good for the singer. He has demonstrated a pattern of bad behavior that has little to no respect for the law, such as threatening paparazzi, driving like a maniac, smoking blunts and last, but not least, going shirtless with increasing frequency. (The latter should be a separate crime in and of itself, but we digress.)
All of these bratty antics are small crimes that add up to him being a nuisance, and the Sheriff's Department also believes that the singer is on a dangerous path and needs anger management classes, regardless of his fame.
Our Rx is a little less severe. We say ditch Lil Twist, who throws parties at his pad in the singer's absence and treats his pricey cars like Kias, take a minute to get over the Selena Gomez split, and just generally take a break from the public eye -- and he'll be good as new.

ATLANTA (CNN) — Federal health officials say 14 people in six states have been sickened by the same strain of E. coli over the past couple of months.
According to CDC spokeswoman Lola Russell, 14 cases of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O145 infection with the same DNA fingerprint were identified in six states. "Their illness onsets range from April 15 to May 12, 2012," she said. "Three ill persons have been hospitalized. One death has been reported in Louisiana."
Cases have been reported in Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama and Florida, according to local health departments and media reports. The CDC would not reveal which other two states were reporting cases.
Louisiana health officials would confirm only that one child died and two adults were sickened in the New Orleans area. CNN affiliate WWL reported that the child was 21-month-old Maelan Elizabeth Graffagnini, who fought the infection for weeks at a local hospital.
Georgia is reporting five cases, the most in one state.
"Four of five are female, and their ages range from 18 to 52, with a median of 34. Illness onsets range from (April 15-28); one case was hospitalized overnight for this illness, and no cases have died," said Suleima Salgado, deputy director of communications for the Georgia Department of Public Health.
The cases in Georgia have been mild, according to Dr. J. Patrick O'Neal, who heads the Division of Health Protection within the Georgia Department of Public Health.
He said Thursday, "I don't think there's need for great concern. I think awareness, yes, concern, no. We have outbreaks of various diarrheal diseases quite frequently."
According to the CDC, the most common strain is E.coli 0157. The strain in this outbreak is 0145. "As whole, the non-O157 serogroup is less likely to cause severe illness than E. coli O157," it said. "However, some non-O157 (Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli) serogroups can cause the most severe manifestations of STEC illness."
The cause of the outbreak is unknown, and the investigation is ongoing on the federal and local levels. Infectious disease investigators have to interview the victims to determine what they all have in common.
E. coli can have an incubation period of as little as one day and as long as 10 days after exposure. According to the CDC, "the symptoms often begin slowly with mild belly pain or non-bloody diarrhea that worsens over several days." So investigators are dependent on people accurately remembering what they may have eaten or come into contact with before they got sick.
Food such as meat and poultry but also fruit and vegetables is often the source of E. coli infections. However, unpasteurized or raw milk, water that has not been disinfected, contact with cattle or contact with the feces of infected people are other sources of infections.
Young children, the elderly and people who have weakened immune systems (like cancer or HIV patients) are at greater risk for severe illness and death.
The best way to avoid getting sick is by washing hands frequently when preparing food as well as avoiding cross-contamination of food preparation areas by washing cutting boards, counters and utensils with hot, soapy water.
Properly washing hands after using the bathroom and after coming into contact with animals or being in their environments — anywhere there may be traces of feces, where the bacteria could be lurking — also helps.
Cooking meats thoroughly to at least 160°F or 70˚C kills the bacteria and prevents infection as well. Using a meat thermometer will most accurately help you determine that the food is thoroughly cooked.

Kevin Fisher came blazing into The Young and the Restless' Genoa City five years ago with rage in his heart, fire in his eyes, violence in his fists, and chlamydia in his … well, you know. He spent a significant portion of his time chasing after Lily, lying, manipulating, setting fires, breaking mirrors. As his violence escalated, it became more and more clear there was a tortured young man inside who was acting out his hatred against himself more than anyone else.
We soon came to understand what drove Kevin, played by Greg Rikaart, to such extreme acts. From an early age he was physically and verbally abused by his father Tom, who consistently communicated that Kevin was no good, not worthy, nothing more than a "cockroach." He was beaten with [Read more…]

But that's why we came here — to do something different, to do something dyshidrotic eczema fingers new. There's some really good kids here, really good players, and we're excited to be around them."
Strength and conditioning coach tim socha is eczema in adults responsible for an off-the-wall, offense-vs.-defense competition each practice. One day it was a sumo-wrestling-style standoff; another was a 3-on-3 tug-of-war; on thursday, players reverted back to T-ball, spinning around a bat 10 times before racing 50 yards in a team relay. Players on both sides get as juiced up for those competitions as any fall game day.
Earlier this week, petersen clearly weeping eczema enjoyed himself during a drill in which lake was tossing a 4-foot-tall tackling pad at the feet of defensive backs, as if to simulate an offensive lineman's chop block.
The defensive backs' task was to run toward the coach and knock the pad away coconut oil for eczema from their feet.
Petersen eagerly jumped in, grabbed a pad and started tossing it at the defenders. After a couple throws, petersen successfully knocked one defender to the ground. "boom!" petersen yelled, celebrating with an emphatic fist pump as if he'd just body-slammed the undertaker in a WWE showdown.Chris petersen already establishing a different tone with uw football eczema types husky football the seattle times
He walks around can eczema look like ringworm the field inside husky stadium with a red air horn holstered on his right hip and a black whistle dangling from his neck, and yet one could watch a two-plus-hour washington football practice and be forgiven for not noticing chris petersen.
That was evident when petersen told the team in a feb. 5 meeting that he was suspending quarterback cyler miles and receiver damore'ea stringfellow indefinitely, an announcement that infected eczema came less than 72 hours after both allegedly assaulted seahawks fans in a post-super bowl incident.
"there's definitely a lot more accountability," senior offensive lineman ben riva said.
"if you mess up you're going to hear about it, you're going to know about it and you're going to pay for it. You're definitely held to a much higher standard."
Not once since he was introduced at UW on dec. 9 has petersen publicly talked about championships or rose bowls. No, that new buzzword around montlake boulevard — accountability — isn't chic eczema diet recipes, but it's a fundamental characteristic of the new coach's philosophy.
Skip hall, an assistant coach on don james eczema bumps on hands' staff from 1975-86 before becoming the head coach at boise state, watched a UW practice earlier this week from the husky stadium sideline, then chatted with petersen afterward. A boise resident, hall attended the same church as petersen, and they had grown close there.
Under former coach steve sarkisian, players who fell out of line on daily tasks — showing up late for a team meeting, for example — were subject nummular eczema images to a "hard lessons" period after practice, which usually meant running punitive sprints or stairs. That's common around college football.
Under the new regime, coaches themselves — not academic advisers or support staffers — are doing daily what foods cause eczema checkups in classrooms. And players who miss a class or study hall session are subject to "commitment time," a four-hour academic study session with a coach beginning at 10 p.M. On friday and saturday nights.
Mickens, after UW's first practice last week, described the new staff as being "all business." the typical practice in these first two weeks involves mostly quiet teaching periods, where players are drilled on the basics of footwork, blocking, tackling and so on, with the music off. In team periods, the music cranks up, but with more variety than was customary during a typical night-at-the-club practice under sarkisian.
(yes, hootie and the blowfish was on the can stress cause eczema playlist thursday eczema on hands images, which had to be a first.)
"I've been doing this for a while," lake said, "and I think guys want to be disciplined.

The study released today says that even in one's 80s, if a man or a woman has a partner, a large number of people are still having sex. What do you think?
Dr. Ruth: I should hope so. Are you suprised? Older people have time, they actually have money, and if they are sexually literate, they listen to a conversations like this and know to do it in the morning and not after a few drinks.
In the mornings?
Dr. Ruth: In the mornings, testosterone level is highest. And for women after menopause, use a lubricant.
Where do you think the idea came from that older people stopped having sex?
Dr. Ruth: It used to be some people thought that when a women went through menopause, she wasn't interested anymore. That's nonsense. There was this attitude that if a man is starting to have a little bit of a belly, or if a woman's arms are sagging a little bit, if the figure didnt look the way it did before -- that it would mean the end of sex.
People are getting older, people are getting healthier. It is true that there are more widows than widowers, and that is a big problem... but everybody who can be should be involved in sex as often as they can.
Why did it take so long to talk about sex?
Dr. Ruth: I'll tell you why it took a long time. First of all, we live in a puritan society. We still do. There is more openness now. We have to say "thank you" to Mr. Bob Dole, he's really courageous for going on television with a commercial and say that he's using, with his physician's permission, Viagra. And while Viagra is a fantastic pharmaceutical breakthrough if prescribed by a physician, I don't want everyone to go out and get Viagra from a friend. It has to be prescribed.
Fortunately, science has provided us with better health, better nutrition, -- everything that we can use we now have to make the best of these years. And the best of these years cannot be had without sex.

This is an excerpt from ACSM's Guide to Exercise and Cancer Survivorship by American College of Sports Medicine.
Muscular Strength and Endurance
Resistance exercise training has been effective in improving muscular strength and endurance in cancer survivors,with the majority of research being in those with breast cancer,prostate cancer,and head and neck cancer.Muscular strength has been measured as 1-repetition maximum (1RM) or 6- to 7-repetition maximum to estimate 1RM. Muscular endurance has been measured as the number of repetitions of a certain weight in a set time. Assessing baseline muscular strength and endurance is important for developing the most appropriate and effective prescription for cancer survivors.
Research studies with cancer survivors have used a variety of resistance prescriptions,as follows:
The 2010 ACSM roundtable guidelines for resistance training exercise for cancer survivors are also consistent with the 2008 U.S. DHHS "Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans."Cancer survivors are encouraged to meet the U.S. DHHS guidelines of two or three weekly sessions that include exercises for the major muscle groups,as able.
Strong evidence of the benefit of resistance training has been reported in breast cancer and prostate survivors during and following cancer treatment.1 The role of resistance training following surgery for breast cancer has been controversial; traditionally, practitioners have advised people not to lift more than 10 pounds (4.5 kg) and to limit repetitive upper-extremity activities. These limitations were aimed at reducing the risk of developing upper-extremity lymphedema, swelling that can affect the arm and trunk following breast cancer surgery and treatment. Results from recent research have suggested that progressive resistance training improves muscular strength, muscular endurance, and functional ability, without increasing the risk of developing upper-extremity lymphedema or exacerbating preexisting lymphedema.
Schmitz and colleaguesstudied breast cancer survivors with preexisting lymphedema. The exercise group had an increase in strength, measured as 1RM, of 29.4% for the bench press (versus 4.1% in controls) and 32.5% for the leg press (versus 7.6% in controls). The exercise group reported a significant improvement in lymphedema symptoms. Also, exacerbations of lymphedema were nominal in the exercise group, which also had fewer exacerbations compared to the control group. The key message stressed in this study was adhering to proper form and progressing the exercises slowly. To achieve this, the study included supervision by trained instructors for the first 13 weeks. Also, the intensity started low and progressed slowly by the smallest increment to reduce the risks of worsening lymphedema. In addition, participants wore compression sleeves during their resistance exercise sessions, and symptoms of worsening lymphedema (i.e., swelling, feelings of heaviness) were closely monitored.
Resistance training has also been encouraged for prostate cancer survivors undergoing androgen deprivation therapy, which lowers testosterone levels. The treatment-associated reduction in muscle mass and muscle strength can compromise physical function, particularly in older men.In a study that compared a 12-week resistance training program and a usual care group during ADT treatment, the exercise group had a significant increase in upper- and lower-body muscular strength (1RM) and endurance (number of repetitions of 70% 1RM) compared to the control group, 36 with an 11% improvement in 1RM chest press (versus 1% in controls) and 37% improvement in the 1RM leg press (versus 7% in controls).
Resistance training has also been studied in head and neck cancer survivors. Resistance training in this population may be particularly important because of the associated shoulder dysfunction, which is a well-recognized complication of the neck dissection surgeries commonly used. The shoulder dysfunction is due to damage to or resection of the spinal accessory nerves and surrounding muscles, such as the trapezius muscle. A small randomized controlled trial compared a 12-week standard care program that included range-of-motion, stretching, and shoulder-strengthening exercises with elastic resistance bands with a 12-week progressive resistance program based on individual baseline strength testing. Both groups improved muscular strength and endurance, but the individualized, progressive program resulted in greater improvements in 1RM for the seated row (37% versus 15% in the standard care group) and the chest press (45% versus 24% in the standard care group).
The majority of resistance training programs for people with cancer have been undertaken following cancer treatment and have reported benefits.However, research on the benefits of resistance training during chemotherapy treatment is limited. During chemotherapy, an improvement in strength was reported in breast cancer survivors who were randomized to a resistance exercise program compared to those randomized to an aerobic exercise program or control group (the only group to maintain their usual lifestyle).In addition, the resistance group in this study also had a better chemotherapy completion rate than the aerobic exercise or control group did. A better chemotherapy completion rate means that people were more likely to receive their prescribed chemotherapy dose on schedule, instead of experiencing the delays commonly seen with chemotherapy. A better chemotherapy completion rate is an outcome that may be of particular interest to the clinical oncology community (i.e., oncologists) because delivery of the prescribed chemotherapy dose is linked to improved clinical outcomes. Improvements in upper- and lower-body strength were also noted in prostate cancer survivors who took part in a resistance program during radiation therapyand during androgen deprivation therapy.
Specificity of Training
As with aerobic interventions, issues with specificity also exist for resistance interventions. Baseline testing has not been used universally. A generic approach to prescribing resistance exercise that does not take baseline strength into account may result in an exercise prescription that is too easy (and therefore results in less improvement) or too hard (limiting improvement and possibility increasing the risk of injury).
The 1-repetition maximum (1RM) test has been employed during recent exercise studies with breast, prostate, and head and neck cancer survivors to determine the appropriate exercise prescription for program.This information has then been used to develop an exercise prescription in a variety of ways. The initial intensity for head and neck cancer survivors was set at 25 to 30% of 1RM and progressed to 60 to 70% of 1RM. The protocol included both double- and single-limb (arm) exercises, because strength was disproportionally reduced on the treatment side as a result of surgery or radiation.32 This study included both men and women, making an individualized approach even more important than in studies of a single sex. For breast cancer survivors with or without lymphedema, the goal of the program by Schmitz and colleagues35 was to progress slowly to avoid acute injury to the arm. Damage to the arm has been suggested as a risk factor for lymphedema (see chapter 6). The authors did not set an upper limit for resistance.
Supervision is another key feature in achieving specificity of resistance training. Supervision initially or for the entire study can ensure that clients use proper form and an appropriate progression. Home-based programs are more difficult to monitor for proper form or appropriate progression of resistance, which may limit clients' gains in strength and endurance.
Finally, adherence and compliance to the prescribed intensity and progression have not been well documented in the literature, which limits the ability to determine the overall expected effect of resistance programs for cancer survivors. Further research is needed to continue the development of feasible and effective resistance programs for cancer survivors.

Ralph J. Bunche (1904-1971) graduated from UCLA and Harvard University, and was a professor at Howard University (1929-1950). He joined the Permanent Secretariat of the United Nations in 1948, served as the undersecretary for special political affairs (1958-67), and then became undersecretary general in 1968. In 1950, Bunche was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The collection consists of correspondence, speeches, manuscripts, articles, publications, and photographs related to Ralph J. Bunche's life and career.
Bunche, Ralph Johnson (7 Aug. 1904-9 Dec. 1971), scholar and diplomat, was born in Detroit, Michigan, the son of Fred Bunch, a barber, and Olive Agnes Johnson. His grandmother added an "e" to the family's last name following a move to Los Angeles, California. Because his family moved frequently, Bunche attended a number of public schools before graduating first in his class from Jefferson High School in Los Angeles in 1922. He majored in political science at the University of California, Southern Branch (now University of California, Los Angeles or UCLA). He graduated summa cum laude and served as class valedictorian in 1927. He continued his studies in political science at Harvard, receiving his M.A. in 1928, then taught at Howard University in Washington, D.C., while working toward his Ph.D. at Harvard. In 1930 he married Ruth Ethel Harris; they had three children. Bunche traveled to Europe and Africa researching his dissertation and received his Ph.D. from Harvard in February 1934.

So I was reading Oracle's blogpost about the RIA changes in January: https://blogs.oracle.com/java-platfo...ments_for_rias
What are everyone's thoughts on this change?
Also, I had a question regarding it. In the developer's section of that blog, it states that all RIAs must contain:
Does this mean no more self-signed jars for webstart? If so how does one go about signing with a "trusted authority" for free? I definitely don't want to shell out money to sign programs I am not making any money on.Code signatures from a trusted authority. All code for Applets and Web Start applications must be signed, regardless of its Permissions attributes.

I have looked up interfaces. Are interfaces similar to classes except they they only contain empty methods?
Just as some applications require a user to intact with it, using a UI; some require interaction with other applications, systems and processes. This is done via an API. in java, an interface defines the entry point making it generic.
This means, no matter who writes the entry point, as long as it implements the interface, it will always have the required signature. This allows multiple developers to work on integrations independently while keeping compatibility.
Your entire post confused the cr@p out of me!
Improving the world one idiot at a time!
Another way to see interfaces is as a way to give a data type to a class. Java requires most arguments to methods to be of a certain data type. Interfaces allow one class to have many different data types and therefore can be passed as arguments to the methods that require that datatype.
Most interfaces define a method that the class that implements the interface must define with code.
Look at the ActionListener interface. It has one method you fill in for listening for button presses for example. The class that implements that interface can pass itself via the this variable to the addActionListener which requires a ActionListener for its argument.

More or less, a system which you are interacting with is expecting a square. If you have a number of different developers, say, Bob, John and Sam, who want to interact with this system, they will all write different code. Bob writes a triangle, John writes a hexagon and Sam writes a dodecahedron. The square from the system won't fit into any of these.
An interface forces the developers to build the square. They can add extra functionality, but their entry point will be a square.
Ahh I get what your saying.
So when I do "fileItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){});", I am adding a method named "actionPerformed" to the fileItem object?
No. Your method of creating an anonymous class is incorrect.
You need to add the method definition inside of the {}s
Do a Search on the Forum for ActionListener for sample code.
I know that , i couldnt be bothered to write it all out. So by writing:
"fileItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
... i am adding the method actionPerformed to the fileItem object, and whenever an action occurs on this object the actionPerformed method is called?
Not quite. You are adding an instance of an ActionListener object to the fileItem class's list of ActionListeners.i am adding the method actionPerformed to the fileItem object,
Yeswhenever an action occurs on this object the actionPerformed method is called
As an ActionListener is an interface, how can i add an instance of this? Because interfaces cant be instantiated can they.
The compiler will create an anonymous (no name) class the way that you coded it in post#9.
Oh yeah
Interfaces are similar to class, known as reference type which provides polymorphism to a great extent, as they can only contain signature of abstract methods, which can be implemented by different classes as per the user requirement.
They are the only way through which multiple inheritance cane be implemented in java.

John Denham
(Redirected from Sir John Denham)Jump to navigation Jump to search
Sir John Denham (1615 – March 10, 1669), poet, son of the Chief Baron of Exchequer in Ireland, was born in Dublin, and educated at Trinity College, Oxford and at Lincoln's Inn in London.
- Actions o' th' last age are like almanacks o' th' last year.
- The Sophy: A Tragedy (1642), Act I, scene ii.
- Ambition is like love, impatient
Both of delays and rivals.
- The Sophy: A Tragedy, Act I, scene ii.
- Such is our pride, our folly, or our fate,
That few but such as cannot write, translate.
- To Sir Richard Fanshaw, Upon his Translation of Pastor Fido (1648), line 1.
- Nor ought a genius less than his that writ
Attempt translation.
- To Sir Richard Fanshaw, Upon his Translation of Pastor Fido, line 9.
- That servile path thou nobly dost decline
Of tracing word by word, and line by line;
A new and nobler way thou dost pursue
To make translations, and translators too;
They but preserve the ashes, thou the flame,
True to his sense, but truer to his fame.
- To Sir Richard Fanshaw, Upon his Translation of Pastor Fido, line 15.
- I conceive it is a vulgar error in translating poets, to affect being fidus interpres... [for] poetry is of so subtile a spirit, that in the pouring out of one language into another, it will all evaporate; and if a new spirit be not added in the transfusion, there will remain nothing but a caput mortuum, there being certain graces and happinesses peculiar to every language, which give life and energy to the words... therefore if Virgil must needs speak English, it were fit he should speak not only as a man of this nation, but as [a] man of this age.
- The Destruction of Troy (1656), Preface.
- Books should to one of these four ends conduce,
For wisdom, piety, delight, or use.
- Of Prudence (1668), line 83.
- Youth, what man's age is like to be doth show,
We may our ends by our beginnings know.
- Of Prudence, line 225.
- Search not to find what lies too deeply hid,
Nor to know things, whose knowledge is forbid.
- Of Prudence, line 231.
- Though with those streams he no resemblance hold,
Whose foam is amber and their gravel gold;
His genuine and less guilty wealth t' explore,
Search not his bottom, but survey his shore.
- Cooper's Hill, Line 165.
- Oh, could I flow like thee, and make thy stream
My great example, as it is my theme!
Though deep, yet clear; though gentle, yet not dull;
Strong without rage; without o'erflowing, full.
- Cooper's Hill, Line 189.
- But whither am I strayed? I need not raise
Trophies to thee from other men's dispraise;
Nor is thy fame on lesser ruins built;
Nor needs thy juster title the foul guilt
Of Eastern kings, who, to secure their reign,
Must have their brothers, sons, and kindred slain.
- On Mr. John Fletcher's Works. Compare: "Poets are sultans, if they had their will; For every author would his brother kill", Roger Boyle, 1st Earl of Orrery, Prologues (republished in Dramatic Works, 1739); "Should such a man, too fond to rule alone, Bear, like the Turk, no brother near the throne", Alexander Pope, Prologue to the Satires, line 197.
- We're ne'er like angels till our passion dies.
- Not by Denham, as often stated, but by Thomas Dekker. It is in his The Honest Whore Part 2, Act I, scene 2.

Easy and awesome!!
Sep 30, 2010
This bread had a wonderful flavor, but didn't seem to rise very well for me. I wasn't able to be at home when the bread machine was mixing, so maybe it needs more water? I liked the flavor well enough to give this recipe another shot. I substituted 1 and 1/4 T. of dried minced onion and used 1 t. of garlic powder and NO dill weed (not a fan).
Aug 10, 2010
This is wonderful. I use 1/2 tsp dried onion powder instead of the onion. My family fights over who gets the most of this bread. Wonderful texture and flavor. I am tempet to make 2 since we go through it so fast.
Mar 20, 2010
I made this bread without use of bread machine. It's yummy! We had it with Tomato Basil Bisque Soup, also excellent, (TOH-Jun-07)I try bread machine recipes the regular way first and then make them in a bread machine at out mountain cabin. At 6000 ft, I can't get bread to rise except in the bread machine.
Dec 11, 2008
Just made this for the first time and shared it at work. It was quite a hit! A very tasty, savory bread.
Jan 28, 2008
I've made this recipe, and it is now a family favorite! Thank you for sharing it!

Dwindling Vitamin D Damage
Vitamin D levels can be low year round, but they can plummet during the fall and winter months due to lowered potency and amounts of sunshine, more time indoors and more. In some people, it can actually make them "SAD"—literally, with seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, which is caused by lack of vitamin D, according to The University of Maryland Medical Center. With SAD, some people get depressed or have depression worsen in the winter months when there's a lack of sunlight.
That makes sense, too, because it's nearly impossible to get adequate vitamin D from the sun in winter months for most of the country. Also, adequate vitamin D is required to produce enough serotonin—the body's "feel good chemical"—in the brain. Walter Stumptf, with the University of North Carolina, determined through research that SAD could be addressed via vitamin D supplementation and using bright lights.
But SAD isn't all the damage that dwindling D stores can cause. Bone pain; muscle weakness; bone and joint arthritis; severe asthma in children; increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease; increased cancer risk; cognitive impairment in older adults; type 2 diabetes; high blood pressure; glucose intolerance and more can all be seen as vitamin D levels plummet.
It's no wonder there can be such fallout, however, because vitamin D plays a role in up to 2,000 genes and in every single cell and bodily tissue of everyone. Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences professor at the University of California Riverside, Dr. Anthony Norman, says, "Vitamin D supports immune system, pancreas, heart, blood, cellular, muscle, bone and bone marrow, breast, colon, intestine, kidney, lung, prostate, retina, skin, stomach, uterine and brain health—and can impact 36 bodily organs."
Since vitamin D is such a cornerstone to health, it's easy to understand why getting enough of the "sunshine vitamin" would be of primary importance. Unfortunately, 75 percent of American teens and adults don't get enough of this "hot" vitamin.
Why the "D"ficiency? There are many reasons for coming up short on vitamin D, including not eating enough vitamin D-packed foods over time to keep levels high. For example, following a strict vegetarian or vegan diet can limit vitamin D intake, since most natural sources of vitamin D, such as fish, fish oils, milk, egg yolks, cheese and beef liver, are animal based. Likewise, you may be underexposed to sunlight, which can be a problem, since the body makes vitamin D when the skin is exposed to adequate sunlight. If you're inside most of the time, live in northern latitudes, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants or use sunscreens, then you most likely don't get enough sunlight to keep your D levels high.
Also, if you have dark skin, are older, are obese or have certain health issues, then you may be in vitamin D deficit as well. For instance, as people age, their kidneys lose some ability for their kidneys to convert vitamin D to its active form. Or, if you have an illness such as digestive unhealth, then your intestines may not have the capacity to properly absorb vitamin D from the foods you eat.
And since body fat can sequester vitamin D, children and adults who are obese require two to five times more vitamin D to prevent a deficiency. And get this: stress can also interfere with vitamin D levels. The stress hormone cortisol can inhibit vitamin D receptor functioning. So, it's important to limit stress and to get high-quality sleep so that your body can readily use the vitamin D it has.
The bottom line is to take great care to avoid dwindling D damage. Keep those D stores up—especially during this time of year.

UPDATE: Lake County backcountry ski party identified
TWIN LAKES — The Lake County Office of Emergency Management has officially released the names of all seven skiers caught in an avalanche Saturday, Feb. 15 on Independence Pass in Lake County.
The two fatal victims, previously identified by an Associated Press report, were confirmed as Justin Lentz, 32, of Sun Prairie, Wis., and Jarrard Law, 34, of Portage, Wis. The five other members of the backcountry ski party are Carl Bryan, 51, Katie Bryan, 30, and Scott Smelcer, 28, all of Twin Lakes; and Ben Hartt, 38, and Seth Neilson, 30, both of Wisconsin.
The backcountry ski party reportedly was traversing the top of a ridge with their five companions at about 5 p.m. Saturday when they triggered the avalanche. The group was located on Star Peak about a mile from the LaPlata parking area off Colorado Highway 82 on the Twin Lakes side of Independence Pass in Lake County.
The five survivors were accounted for after the slide. Of those, three were taken to St. Vincent Hospital in Leadville with injuries that reportedly included a broken leg, a broken ankle and a possible broken rib and collapsed lung.
The Lake County Office of Emergency Management did not identify the injured parties. One of those three has since been released from the hospital. The two other skiers escaped the avalanche unharmed.
Lentz and Law went unaccounted for after Saturday's avalanche. The Lake County Sheriff's Office announced at approximately 12:30 p.m. Sunday that search and rescuers had recovered their bodies.
Both men were wearing avalanche beacons, Susan Matthews, public information officer for the Lake County Office of Emergency Management, told the Associated Press.
The cause of the avalanche remains under investigation, said Brian Lazar, deputy director of the Colorado Avalanche Information Center.
Among the participating agencies in the search and rescue effort were the Lake County Sheriff's Office, the Lake County Emergency Manager, Lake County Public Works, St. Vincent Hospital EMS, Leadville/Lake County Fire and Rescue, the Colorado Avalanche Information Center; Colorado Rapid Avalanche Deployment and Lake County Search and Rescue teams.
Three members of the Summit County Rescue Group also participated in search and rescue efforts, said that group's public information officer Charles Pitman.

I'm very new to Adobe Illustrator, and having problems with the pen tool.
I have a path created that is a single straight line.
(appears as a light blue line, with anchor points at both ends, within a blue bounding box)
This path is very precisely created exactly where I need it, relative to another object.
I have been unable to assign it "ink", so it only appears as the light blue path, but doesn't actually appear in my graphic. I believe I need to assign a "stroke" to it, but have been unable.
In my experiments with the Pen tool, it seems paths only get a stroke / ink when they have at least 3 points, and represent a closed path. Is this right?
If so, how can I "color" the line-segment I've created.
(note: precise placement is important, not just an approximate position via the mouse)

Lake Tahoe Wildlife raises cub dropped off in Homewood (with video)
A healthy and just a little bit clumsy 11-week-old bear cub stomped around the office of Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care Inc. on Tuesday, exactly one week after she was mysteriously dropped off at a Bear League facility in Homewood.
Tahoe, a 6-pound black bear, was found slightly dehydrated in a kennel with no warning and no note. She was whimpering when Bear League Director Ann Bryant found her, and was immediately taken to the Wildlife Care's rehabilitation center in South Lake Tahoe.
"I wondered what happened," Bryant said of first discovering the cub. "Why is this baby alone, and what happened to the momma?"
One week later, the baby bear seemed to be back at full strength as she climbed on chairs, stumbled over boxes and chewed on stuffed animals. She eats and plays four times a day until she tires herself out and falls back asleep.
Caretakers use a bottle to feed the cub a specially-made formula. But aside from feeding times, the animal has little to no contact with humans in order to keep her from becoming too attached, said LTWC Executive Director Cheryl Millham.
"She's not like a cat or dog," Millham said. "You can't pet her, play with her or sleep next to her, or she'll (adapt) to the point where she can't be released."
The cub is currently being raised indoors, so Millham and her husband can keep a close eye on her. However, Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care Inc. plans to move Tahoe into one of the outdoor dens in a couple weeks.
Ultimately, the goal of the Bear League and LTWC is to release the animal back into the wild when she's old enough.
"Right now she's just a baby and wants attention," Millham said.
Three other bears that were under the care of LTWC, each about a year old, were scheduled to be released back into the wild Wednesday morning. Among them was an injured black bear found at Heavenly Mountain Resort on March 3. That bear, a male, was released in the Monitor Pass area of Alpine County, she said.
Bryant is hoping someone comes forward with information about the new mystery cub so the animal can eventually be released back into the area it was initially found. She's asking anyone who has information on the animal to call the Bear League, whether it's anonymous or not.
"We're glad she was rescued," she said. "We would just like to know the story behind it."
The Bear League can be reached at 530-525-7297.

RVIACCV - Ventable, pilot operated, balanced piston relief valve
Part Number: RVIACCV
Manufacturer: Sun Hydraulics
Ventable, pilot-operated, balanced piston relief cartridges are normally closed pressure regulating valves. When the pressure at the inlet (port 1) reaches the valve setting, the valve starts to open to tank (port 2), throttling flow to regulate the pressure. They provide a vent port (port 3) that connects between the main piston and pilot stage to provide for remote control by other pilot or 2-way valves. These valves are accurate, have low pressure rise vs. flow, they are smooth and quiet, and are moderately fast.
- A remote pilot relief on port 3 (vent) will control the valve below its own setting.
- Will accept maximum pressure at port 2; suitable for use in cross port relief circuits. If used in cross port relief circuits, consider spool leakage.
- Main stage orifice is protected by a 150 micron stainless steel screen.
- Relief valve setting must always be higher than pilot valve setting.
- Not suitable for use in load holding applications due to spool leakage.
- Cartridges configured with EPDM seals are for use in systems with phosphate ester fluids. Exposure to petroleum based fluids, greases and lubricants will damage the seals.
- Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.

Show FAQ
|Where would I use a kick-down relief?
|One graphic example is on a portable grain auger for silos. When the farmer gets caught in the auger the kick-down relief trips and allows him to escape.
|What are the tolerances on pressure settings for Sun's pressure control valves?
|Pressure setting tolerances are listed in our Performance Data page. A link to this page can also be found in the Additional Resources tab of the applicable product page.
|How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?
|There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
|Can I use a kick-down relief for my system relief?
|Maybe not. We build in a good amount of overlap in the kick-down reliefs to prevent false tripping. This means they are not as fast as our standard pilot-operated reliefs. A direct-acting relief valve set just above the kick-down relief valve would be good insurance.
|Direct acting or pilot operated - what do I use?
|Direct-acting valves are used to prevent over pressure, and pilot-operated valves are used to regulate pressure. If you are unsure, use a direct-acting valve. Sun's direct acting valves are very fast, dirt tolerant, stable, and robust. Sun's pilot-operated valves are moderately fast, they have a low pressure rise vs. flow curve, and they are easy to adjust.
