I've been wanting to get off my provider for a long time. They were one of the first webhosts that were ultra-cheap. And I could put up a WordPress blog with now problem. It was 2006 . . . what could go wrong? I mean, they didn't have sftp but only clear-text ftp, but they wouldn't have that forever, right?
Well . . . it's 2014. The WordPress site is usually very slow. They still do not have sftp ("it would take too much server power to support sftp"). And the email system only hold 250MB per account. Not address -- 10 addresses would share the 250MB. Crazy. Insane.
The WordPress was so bad that I didn't want to write in it again. . . which is bad for someone who like to write. And I finally have some techincal stull I want to write about again. Like code snippets, which I have never been able to get right in my WordPress blog.
And there are some neat things happening in the static generator world. I've looked (and have used) a few. But since I've been using Groovy lately I decided to eat my own dogfood. So this site is being generated by a Groovy-powered generator called Grain. I honestly grabbed a template that I liked and started writing. It has SASS/Compass support built in and uses Python for Pygments as well inside the page generation. Yeah, seems like a kitchen sink. But I can update the Sass files and I don't have to run a script or anything to process them -- it happens automagically. That's pretty cool.
I plan on writing a bit more about stuff I've discovered in Groovy, my dive back into the Java world, and how I (imperfectly) converted all my old blog content into this Grain blog.

This little coward Shemale warrior is a cloned turd of Aryanna Noballsbarbarian. The essence of hate, stupidity and deception. These putrid cowards would never confront you one on one, only with a thousand miles of internet airwaves. The shemale warrior princess is a big time stock investor. The shemale made $600,000 in spreading its butt cheeks so far this year. And little Aryanna has an "allegiance" to herself and "serves only" herself, masturbating every time she posts her hatred against blacks on the internet.

Well put. Aryanna and shemale warrior are both Brokeback Mountain butt buddy mental cases. Brokeback Mountain was a true story based on their personal closet love lives. If they had no black people responding to their hateful rhetoric, they'd turn on each other and have a lover's quarrel in a Brokeback Mountain heartbeat. The shemale warrior did make $600000 in a dream while tripping on LSD.

What is really truly sad most of these white people truly believe deep down in their hearts the good ole USA belongs and founded molded establish by their hard work efforts. To get so caught up in an illusion of power but yet a simple void an hated race by all but yet worship by all for approval to always be under the radar of supreme excellence. The pressure that is put on by the younger
Generations to live up to a certain oath that was fabricated. The fear of staying in a safety zone to feel so inadequate. Fear and laziness not to except a world of diversity of an minority to place a resistance of any type of change. Whites believe that every race wish they were white I beg to differ
I could not conceive living with the guilt of no matter what I have conquered is was through mayhem,trickery. So therefore I have created Holidays to convince my fellow man this is another chapter to install in my legacy of ruthless brutality to ease my own self hate. The one complexity that baffles me is the passionate nature white people have Love and Hate and no tolerance for change its either one or the other.
#20900 Nov 29, 2013
What is that ''guilt''you say white people feel? I have regrets but no guilt. Change? What good is change if it doesn't make things easier or better? Change for the sake of change is for hyped up asses like the people who run Facebook, where every time you log in it's different.

"BM google Brother Paul Holderfield Friendly Chapel and Saint Marks Church both here in Little Rock. Holderfied is a small church in the hood off of Broadway lead by a White Preacher. The other church Saint Marks is the largest Black church in Little Rock and probably in the top 10 biggest church in Little Rock.
Now guess which church feeds the homeless black people everyday at the soup kitchen and guess which church feeds the black homeless people once a month?
With over 300 meals served everyday. You have to excuse me for now, I must suit up and go Polar Bear Hunting."
AB you know that's not a good point to argue. To use one example to try and prove how much black churchgoers don't care about whites is ludicrous. As much as some whites whine about black people and the "poor me" attitude, well, you may need to check yourself before lecturing others.

With the Bunky Troll , persons clamor for work Yeah, the job market can be greatwhat makes you think all those people UE? Many of these are probably implemented, but just would like the gig. Guaranteed, people are leaving good jobs intended for Wallmart, yeah sure. Maybe they're departing $ jo appraisals antiques collectibles bs for $ jobsOh why not, first of all, I doubt wallmart will begin anyone at $, second it is debateable what number are unemployed. What exactly matters, at least for me, is that, consumers are interested in poor Wallmart jobs. Thinking about give a? What are you doing every day to leave your bagel gig? I don't wish to explain for you Who the will you be?? dumbestposteverthere are is the reason of millionaires the majority of whom are within the trucking fleet. gives stock to everyone its associates. good company to figure for. The UE price is below its extended avg You're utilising anecdotes. Classic tactic of any chicken little. Perhaps you missed this part Are a person an economist??? Not any, you are inside it, aren't you? You may better stick towards computers and ignore trying to forecast the economy. We have now people for which. Stephen Levy, an economist with the Center for Continuing Study belonging to the California Economy, said the pent-up demand for work mirrors the Bay Area's slow recovery on the -com crash. "There's still many men and women who were put needing work in the carry on years who still do not need a job, inch Levy said. This unemployment rate in Alameda and Contra Costa counties climbed to proportion in, up from percent the month before nevertheless below the california's unemployment rate associated with percent, according towards the latest statistics from the California Employment Production Department. But some economists assert those numbers you should not tell the full story about the job market. For being counted as unemployed, a person should have sought a job inside the past weeks and must be completely underemployed. Wanting a job but not looking foringests a person outside the labor force and right out of the unemployment-rate calculation. The Bay Area has lost hundreds from jobs to outsourced workers and offshoring, compounded by each of the jobs that never go back after the community economy collapsed. "It's not regarding Wal- -- it's about all of those other labor market, inch Levy said. "If all of those other labor market was strong, you may not have, people getting jobs. " Over the -com boom, Levy said, businesses like bumped up wages towards recruit employees down the middle of a hot job market. But now the matter has reversed, and more people are likely to take whatever they are able to get. "It's simply a comment on how many people are likely to apply for that particular job now, " Levy said on the surge of software programs at Wal-.

Different hiring is UPis ADP nation's or international?, PEOPLE HIRED BY UPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! paying $ each hoursEven $ often!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are a new suck!! read this approach This happened to me lots of years ago and someone of mine through, They hire around they need. They inform you of to buy boots that can be steel. (a massive amount construction workers slip on non steel boots) anyway both of united states went out not to mention spend about -- bucks on outstanding shoes after appearing "hired" by UPS. They'll likely paid us intended for orientation after our piss test. They'll likely say we might you and hook you up along with a driver or a strong assignment yada yada. Then both of united states despite repeated WTF phone s went around to whole season making few hours orientation pay out. Didn't even cover the price boots.
Each time a job asks for that salary requirement To be sent together with you resume. What will be appropriate Way to help you send it? Do you just put by the body processes of the what you desire to except? Or will there be some unspoken route to write it?? the particular unspoken wayDon't express themselves what?? The position ad says Resumes with an income requirement will never be considered!! Well it is easy then. Will not include one! Whether or not it's that cut and dry, then decide in the event you want to fill out an application there. Only it is possible to decide that only to find they sound like difficult asses. That's distress tactics! Honestly, each time a job ad says that, I basiy dont apply. Or perhaps, if I really like the job, and We have the background they want to gain, then I submit with a product like "Negotiable".. or "Open". You might have nothing to increase by specifying earnings requirements. All you're doing is giving them a convenient route to weed you available. That "resumes without salary requirements will never be considered" line can be purely scare practices and speaks wonders of what will drive most of the candidate selection procedure. It's just them wanting to control the course of action (and you). In the event you answer them, an individual let them win. The key is so that you can control them, notother way around. Recruiters will most likely say, "we dont desire to waste time with fishing outfitters ontario those that might want around we can offer". Well then, my reply to it is, "why dont EVERYONE post the salary for your position, and individuals aren't interested, will not apply. " Recruiters can be a stupid bunch.

I know, I need to do what I can to get things to wor gourmet pet foods k rather than disappear from the difficulty. We've tried this particular, but she doesn't seem able to change.

Why do I need to be passionate upon an interview? I was passionate once i was years old, but being excited now makes me personally feel stupid.

Furthermore, having passion doesnt must mean acting similar to a fool either. Thats not upward too you but rather up to a employer you will be applying with. But most intend somebody who enjoys their job which is happy about everyday living and their invest it. I'm joyful when I'm yet, when I visit deep within my own mind. But I assume employers want someone that will interact with these folks.

How long to wait before caulking - new construction?
We moved into this new construction in Mid April.
As the house is settling, some of the adjacent window trims, areas around the vanity backsplash, & door trims has begun to separate.
According to builder's warranty - caulking is our responsibility but he said to wait until the 1 year anniversary to let the house settle before caulking.
If I do that, I am afraid the house will not be 'tight' during the cooler months. But then, I really don't want to have to keep recaulking as the house settles into its final position.
Any words of wisdom would be appreciated!
If your house is settling you need to consult a structural engineer to find out why and if it will continue. If it is frame shrinkage you need to verify that green or undried lumber was not used.
Why would filling interior cracks affect heating or cooling?
Why would any of this work not be the responsibility of the builder?
Use a good elastomeric caulk, not the cheap painter's caulk which will crack with movement.
I would wait until humidity is about mid point between the high and lows of your home. That way, when the moldings expand and contract with the seasons, the amount of movement the caulk it must manage successfully will fall somewhere in the middle and hopefully within its performance range, not the full span, not too much or too little applied. (Hard to describe!)

Good for Mr Mack, it's well deserved.
I think you're missing the point JD, I wasn't doubting the popularity of the Trek Fiction line, as I assume others weren't either. The books are still being wrote, money is still (probably just about) being made on their sales which proves there is some popularity about them.
What I highlighted and others have commented on, is that it's seemingly less common to buy a Trek book from a bricks and mortar shop. I myself "picked up" all three Cold Equations from the Book Depository and it would be interesting to discover what the percentage of sales are at the moment regarding internet sales vs brick and mortar sales.
As a side, that NYT bestsellers list, does that just include sales from North America or does it take global sales into account?
People in third world countries are so lucky they don't have to deal with these problems. - TheGodBen

Buttons by E. Lewy
Doug's stomach flip-flopped. The official last day of summer before he started junior year was over. Now all he had left to do was somehow manage to get to sleep.
Well, there was one more thing.
He reached out, running a hand over the buttons on his backpack. Some of them could stay--like his dorky yellow peace sign, and the second one he had gotten that said Breathe Peace with a pair of lungs on either side of the sign, because why the hell not? His fingers even passed easily over a white square with the words in purple: I don't Know You Well Enough To Dumb Myself Down For You, his Stop Whining, Start Campaigning button, and the requisite I Heart NYs, of course. But his fingers hesitated over each of his rainbow buttons.

The Alphabetical Prescription for Living With A Chronic Medical Condition by Wendy Kennar
During college I worked in a public library. The first five years of my teaching career were spent teaching kindergarten. In both instances, the alphabet was a large part of each of my days. As a result, I now tend to look at the world and want to alphabetize it.
Living with an autoimmune disease is unpredictable and uncontrollable in many respects. Yet, I am a person who strives for order. So, I have written the A to Z Prescription for living with, and coping with, a chronic medical condition.

Strange Fruit by Chris Kuell
I drove by the place three times before catching a glimpse of the overgrown path, barely visible through the tangles of honeysuckle. Perhaps it was my time in the city, but I was expecting a driveway, even though the parched mud flat I was driving on could hardly qualify as a road.
I pulled off into some tall grass and parked, still a little uncertain as to why I was here. I turned and got out only a wee bit slower than normally, my protruding belly no more than a minor hindrance at this point.
From the road, the old Washington place resembled the dozen or so other abandoned homes I saw on my drive out this morning. Apparently this faraway corner of the county had missed the economic boom of the nineties. A sagging roof was fighting gravity, windows were broken, and the rickety porch didn't look like it could hold the weight of a healthy tick hound.

On behalf of A, D and the family, I just want to express our deep appreciation for all you did , with the help of your staff to provide us with a truly outstanding wedding celebration. We are particularly grateful for the large amounts of time you spent with us meticulously planning every fine detail of the day. We were also very conscious of the long hours and hard work you put in on the day to ensure everything went like clockwork. Everything about the hotel was just outstanding. From the beautifully appointed bedrooms, the gorgeous surroundings and the highest standard of food to attentive staff, no one could ask for more!
Our guests and in particular those who were totally new to Cornhill were quite overwhelmed by absolutely everything about the hotel and have been raving about it, especially the quality and volume of the food. In these days it is rare to find such dedicated and hardworking proprietors as yourself and it is because of your continuous hands-on approach that Cornhill House Hotel is the outstanding hotel that it has become. The addition of the new fountain is just the icing on the cake!
No words can really express our gratitude for all you, personally did to make A & Ds day so memorable. We hope the little token of appreciation we left will be useful and remind you of A & Ds special day. The most common comment about the day was, " It was absolutely perfect in every way" Theres nothing better than that

WEDDING - August 2014
Dear M, With things now settling down again after P and Ms wedding, we just wanted to place on record our most grateful thanks to you and your staff for the outstanding support and service provided to our family and friends both before, during and after the wedding on 16th August.
Weddings, as you only too well know, are particularly stressful for those directly involved in the planning and preparations and it was a great relief to us, as the brides parents, that the issues we really didn't need to have concerns about were the arrangements at Cornhill on the day. Why did we arrive at that conclusion? Quite simply, the pre planning arrangements were carried out meticulously and all our needs and aspirations were talked through in great detail. We can't thank you enough.
What particularly impressed us on the day, was the courtesy, politeness and helpful attitude of your staff, which didnt go unnoticed either by us or many of our guests. The attention to detail was flawless, the dining service proceeded effortlessly (despite the fact we had a delayed start to proceedings), the meal was superb, and the setting up of the function suite for the evening reception was done smoothly and efficiently. All of this has been commented on by many of our guests. In view of the exceptional service provided we have nominated you and your staff for a VOWS award. You certainly deserve it.
Thank you again for all your help and for making the day such a special one for P and M.

Prior to the instant invention remote controlled solenoid valves were moved to a closed position by energizing the solenoid in the valve which ultimately caused the valve element to close on its seat. When the valve was open with fluid flowing therethrough, the moving column of fluid in the pipe upstream of the valve, developed considerable kinetic energy therein, due to the mass and velocity of the column of fluid. If the valve was not closed slowly, the kinetic energy could not be absorbed quickly enough, and this often times resulted in the damage to the system and was at least evident in noise in the system known as water-hammer.
Some attempts have been made heretofore to slow down the closing action of solenoid operated valves by limiting the rate of fluid flow into the chamber over the valve diaphragm, and some of these prior devices have included flow-restricting means that were located in the valve in such a manner that complete disassembly of the entire valve was required for servicing the part, which was both laborious and costly. Other solenoid operated valves included systems that provided for the the forming of small holes in the valve body leading to the diaphragm chamber, which holes were intended to serve as flow-restricting means; but these holes were difficult to keep clear and cleaning thereof usually required special tooling for disassembly of the unit. Other similar devices that were designed to absorb kinetic energy in a fluid system were relatively complicated and were difficult to maintain in the field, and as a result were prohibitive in cost.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a valve construction for use in controlling flow of a fluid through a piping system, and has particular application in a solenoid operated valve which is remotely operated and includes a diaphragm valve assembly that is movable to a fully open or closed position. In order to effectively absorb the kinetic energy that is present in a fluid system upon closing of a valve in the system, the present invention provides a valve construction having a diaphragm valve assembly wherein fluid behind the diaphragm valve assembly is slowly released therefrom so that the pressure differential across the diaphragm is changed slowly. For this purpose, a pilot valve is provided that is responsive to energizing of the solenoid and that communicates directly with the outlet of the valve unit. The pilot valve also communicates with a primary fluid control chamber, that has a restricted passage formed therein, the restricted passage communicating with an interior chamber located behind the diaphragm. A secondary fluid control chamber communicates through a passage with the inlet side of the main valve unit and beneath the diaphragm, the secondary chamber also communicating with the primary chamber. When the solenoid operated pilot valve is energized, communication is established between the interior chamber and the outlet chamber of the main valve unit to withdraw fluid from the interior chamber, thereby decreasing the pressure on the upperside of the diaphragm which causes it to move to an open position. When the solenoid is deenergized, the pilot valve closes and a slow build-up of pressure in the interior chamber occurs as fluid is bled thereto by way of the secondary and primary chambers. As the pressure differential across the diaphragm increases, the diaphragm assembly is slowly moved to a closed position.
Accordingly, it is the object of the invention to provide a solenoid operated valve construction, wherein the closing rate of a diaphragm valve is controlled by the fluid passing through the valve unit and the diaphragm valve is slowly moved to the closed position in response to control of the fluid passing through the valve unit.
Another object of the invention is to provide a relatively simple construction for controlling the closing rate of a solenoid-operated valve.
Still another object is to provide a solenoid-operated valve construction having a fluid control system that is readily disassembled without the use of special tools for the maintenance thereof.
Still another object is to provide a valve construction that includes a solenoid-operated pilot valve that acts to control the flow of fluid to and from the interior diaphragm chamber for controlling the flow of fluid through the valve unit.
Other objects, features, and advantages of the invention shall become apparent as the description thereof proceeds when considered in connection with the accompanying illustrative drawings.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In the drawings which illustrate the best mode presently contemplated for carrying out the present inven tion:
FIG. 1, is a vertical sectional view with parts shown in elevation of the valve construction embodied in the present invention;
FIG. 2, is an end elevational view with parts shown in section of the valve construction looking to the left, as seen in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3, is a sectional view taken along line 33 in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4, is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view of a portion of the valve construction illustrated in FIG. 1, showing the passages that communicate with the valve unit inlet chamber and the secondary control chamber; and
FIG. 5, is an enlarged fragmentary illustration of the restricted passage as formed by the threaded members in the primary fluid control chamber.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring now to the drawing, and particularly to FIG. 1, the valve construction embodied in the present invention is illustrated and is generally indicated at 10. As presently contemplated, the valve construction 10 is intended for use in a lawn sprinkler system, although the concept of the invention as embodied herein is intended for use in any fluid system, that requires an arrangement for preventing too rapid closing of a remotely controlled valve.
The valve construction 10 includes a body portion 12 that defines the main valve unit and has an inlet port 14 and an outlet port 16 formed therein on opposite sides thereof. The inlet port 14 and outlet port 16 are both suitably internally threaded for receiving an inlet pipe 18 and an outlet pipe 20, respectively, therein. Formed in the body portion 12 and communicating with the inlet port 14, is an inlet chamber 22, while an outlet chamber 24 is formed in the opposite portion of body portion 12 and communicates with the outlet port 16. An interior wall 26 separates the inlet chamber 22 from the outlet chamber 24, and joined to the upper end of the wall 26 is a seat 28 in which an opening 30 is formed that normally provides communication between the inlet chamber 22 andthe outlet chamber 24.
Mounted within the body portion 12 for movement is a diaphragm valve assembly generally indicated at 32, that includes a seat portion 34 that is engageable with the seat 28 for sealing the opening 30 through which fluid passes from the inlet chamber 22 to the outlet chamber 24. lntegrally joined to the seat portion 34 of the diaphragm valve assembly is a flexible membrane 36 that is secured between a flange 37 joined to the body portion 12 and a flange 39 formed on a cap portion 38 that is mounted on the body portion 12 in fixed relation by cap screws 40. The cap portion 38 has a crown configuration as indicated in FIG. 1, to define an interior diaphragm chamber 42 that is formed between the upper portion of the diaphragm valve assembly 32 and the underside of the cap portion 38. The diaphragm valve assembly 32 is mounted for vertical axial movement and for this purpose includes a seat guide 44- formed with spaced downwardly projecting extensions 46 on the underside thereof that project through the opening 30. Located on the upper side of the diaphragm seat 34 is a plate 48 through which a threaded section of stem 50 projects. A nut 52 mounted on the upper end of the threaded section of the stem 50 engages the plate 50 and cooperates with a flange 51 that abuts the underside of the guide 44 to secure the seat portion 34, seat guide 44 and plate 48 to the stem 50 as a unit. The lower portion of the stem 50 projects into a hole 53 formed in a stem guide 54, the stem guide 54 being formed as an integral part of the body portion 12 and being located in the outlet chamber 24. A vent hole 56 is formed in the stem guide 54 and communicates with the hole 53 formed therein and provides for flushing out of any debris or sediment that may have collected in the hole 53.
Located in the diaphragm chamber 42 and engaging the upper side of the diaphragm plate 48 is a spring 58, the upper end of which engages the inside of the top wall of the cap portion 38. The spring 58 urges the seat portion 34 of the diaphragm valve assembly 32 toward the closed position thereof, wherein the seat portion 34 is located in contact with the seat 28. A plurality of inwardly projecting bosses 60 are formed interiorly of the cap portion 38 and act to limit movement of the diaphragm valve assembly 32 in the upper position thereof. thereby protecting the membrane 36 of the diaphragm valve assembly against undue flexing movement in the open position of the valve unit.
Mounted on an upwardly extending boss 62 that is formed as an integral part of the cap portion 38 is a solenoid assembly generally indicated at 64. The solenoid assembly 64 includes a housing 66 in which a solenoid coil 68 is located. A sleeve 70 is threadably secured in the boss 62 and projects through the coil 60 and has an interior opening formed therein in which an armature 72 is located. Secured in the armature 72 at the lower end thereof is a pilot valve 74 that is engageable with the upper end of a seat 76, the seat 76 being mounted in the boss 62 below the sleeve 70. Formed in the pilot valve seat 76 is an opening 78 that communicates with a passage 80 that extends through the cap portion 38 to the lower end thereof. As illustrated in FIG. 1, a diagonally extending passage 82 is formed in the flange 37 of the body portion 12 and provides communication between the passage 80 and the outlet chamber 24. L0- cated exteriorly of the pilot valve seat 76 and below the pilot valve 74 is a chamber 84 that communicates with an interior passage 85 that also communicates with a primary control chamber 88.
As shown in FIG. 3, the chamber 88 is formed in the cap portion 38 below the boss 62, the axis thereof being generally horizontal and the innermost end thereof communicating with the diaphragm chamber 42 by way of an opening 89. A restrictor member 90 having a head 91 formed thereon projects into the chamber 88 and is formed with a stem 92 on the end of which a plurality of male threads 94 are formed. The interior of the chamber 88 is formed with female threads, which, as illustrated in FIG. 5 have a flat-tooth configuration 96 as seen in cross section. With the restrictor member 90 located in the chamber 88, a restricted passage 98 is formed between the walls of the female threads 96 and the male threads 94, while a passage 100 having a substantially triangular configuration in cross section is formed between the flat portion 96 of the female threads and the adjacent portion of the male threads 94. It is understood that the dimensions of the passage 100 can be varied by changing the dimension of the flat portion 96 formed on the female threads in the passage 88, thereby affecting the flow rate of fluid through the passage and into and out of the diaphragm chamber 42. Since fluid passing through the passage 100 affects the closing rate of the diaphragm assembly 32, the optimum dimension of this passage is such as to produce a flow rate of fluid therethrough that will effect a closing of the diaphragm assembly 32 without damage or noise due to water-hammer resulting in the piping system associated with the valve construction.
In order to effectively control the closing rate of the diaphragm assembly 32 it is necessary to provide communication between the chamber 88 and the inlet chamber 22, and for this purpose a secondary control chamber 102 indicated in FIG. 4 is provided. As illustrated in FIG. 4, a passage 104 communicates with the interior of the secondary chamber 102, and also communicates with the inlet chamber 22 through an obliquely extending passage 106 that is formed in the flange 37 of the body portion 12. As illustrated in F IG. 2, a plug member 108 projects into the secondary chamber 102 and is formed with a head thereon that limits inward movement into the chamber 102. The plug member 108 has a threaded shank 109 that is threadedly received in the chamber 102, a spring 110 engaging the shank 109 and having a screen 112 mounted on the end thereof. Formed in the cap portion 38 and providing communication between the secondary chamber and the bleed chamber 88 is a short passage 114, the short passage 114 extending axially of the chamber 102 and through a side wall of the chamber 88. The screen 112 is located adjacent to the passage I 114 and provides protection therefor against accumulation of sediment or debris therein. It is seen that the secondary chamber 102 provides communication between the inlet chamber 22 and the chamber 88 by way of the passages 104 and 106, and the short passage 1 14.
OPERATION It is first assumed that the valve unit is in the open position thereof and fluid is flowing through the inlet pipe 18 into chamber 22 and then into chamber 24 by way of the opening 30. With the valve unit in the open position as described, fluid is normally flowing through passages 106 and 104 into the secondary control chamber 102, and through the passage 114 into the primary control chamber 88. Since the valve unit is open, the solenoid 64 is energized and fluid also flows through the passage 86, chamber 84, through the open pilot valve into passages 78, 80 and 82, and then into the outlet chamber 24. With the solenoid 64 energized, the fluid in the diaphragm chamber 42 exhausts to a lower pressure zone by way of passages 100, 86, 80 and 82. It is seen that the pressure in the chamber 88 is less than that in inlet chamber 22, but greater than that in the outlet chamber 24, and consequently the pressure in the diaphragm chamber 42 is substantially the same as that in the chamber 88. Thus the greater pressure in the inlet chamber 22 maintains the diaphragm valve assembly 32 in the open position thereof. The pressure in the inlet chamber 22 also over-balances whatever force may be exerted by the spring 58 and the inherent resistance to flexure of the membrane 36 of the diaphragm assembly.
The valve construction is closed by sealing communication between the chambers 22 and 24, and this is accomplished by deenergizing the solenoid 64 to move the pilot valve 74 to the closed position on the seat 76. Since communication between the chamber 88 and outlet chamber 24 is closed by the pilot valve 74, the pressure in the chamber 88 reaches the pressure in the inlet chamber 22. Since the pressure in chamber 88 is somewhat higher than the pressure in the diaphragm chamber 42, fluid flows through the restricted passage 100 to increase the pressure in the diaphragm chamber 42. This causes the diaphragm assembly to begin moving to the closed position and the pressure in the diaphragm chamber 42 now approaches the pressure in the inlet chamber 22. Since the pressure in the outlet chamber 24 begins to reduce with respect to the pressure in the inlet chamber 22 and the diaphragm chamber 42, the diaphragm valve assembly 32 continues to close. However, due to the restricted flow of the fluid passing through the passage 100 into the chamber 42, the diaphragm valve assembly 32 moves slowly to the closed position thereof.
With the diaphragm valve assembly 32 in the closed position thereof, the pressure on both sides of the flexing portion of the diaphragm valve assembly is the inlet or supply pressure, wherein undue strain is not imposed on the flexing portions of the diaphragm valve assembly membrane 36 with the valve construction in the closed position thereof. In this position, the spring 58 further aids in holding the diaphragm valve assembly in the closed position. In order to move the valve construction to the open position, the solenoid 64 is energized which causes the pilot valve 74 to lift off of the seat 76. This permits flow of fluid from chamber 88 through the passages 86, 80 and 82 to the outlet chamber 24. By providing communication between the chamber 88 and the outlet chamber 24, the pressure in the chamber 88 is reduced and the flow of fluid is induced from the diaphragm chamber 42 into the chamber 88 by way of the restricted passage 100. The pressure above the diaphragm valve assembly 32 decreases and the seat portion 34 of the diaphragm valve assembly moves away from the seat 28. Pressure in the outlet chamber 24 builds up and the diaphragm valve assembly reaches a balanced open position. When pressure on the underside of the diaphragm valve assembly 32 builds up to move the diaphragm valve assembly to the fully open position, the bosses 60 will be engaged and will resist further upward movement of the diaphragm valve assembly. Due to the restricted flow rate of the fluid as it passes from the diaphragm chamber 42 into the chamber 88, the diaphragm valve assembly 32 will open slowly.
Although the operation of the valve construction as described hereinabove sets forth that the diaphragm valve assembly 32 slowly moves to and from the open and closed, positions, it is contemplated that a fast-opening-slow-closing operation can be provided without appreciably changing the structure. In this event, the chamber 84 would be connected directly to the diaphragm chamber 42, in which case the restricted passage 100 and chamber 88 would be by-passed. Continuous flow of fluid would occur when the diaphragm valve assembly 32 is opened by way of the passage 100. In the previous description wherein the valve construction has a slow-opening-slow-closing operation the volume of fluid flowing through the passage 100 is limited on closing to that required to close the diaphragm assembly 32. On opening this same volume of fluid is again directed back through the restricted passage 100.
It is seen that the valve construction as embodied herein is simple to operate by merely energizing of the solenoid 64. The valve system is amply protected by the slow closing of the diaphragm assembly 32 and since the chambers 88 and 102 are externally accessible by way of the members 90 and 108, maintenance of the unit is relatively simple. The major portion of any debris will collect in the chamber 88, and this can be readily cleaned by removing the member 90. The external threaded portion 94 can be wiped clean, while the interior threads 96 can also be suitably cleaned with little difficulty.
While there is shown and described herein certain specific structure embodying the invention, it will be manifest to those skilled in the art that various modifications and rearrangements of the parts may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the underlying inventive concept and that the same is not limited to the particular forms herein shown and described except insofar as indicated by the scope of the appended claims.
What is claimed is:
1. A valve construction for controlling flow of a fluid therethrough comprising a body portion to which an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe are connected, an inlet chamber communicating with said inlet pipe and an outlet chamber communicating with said outlet pipe, a movable diaphragm located in said body portion and normally sealing communication between said inlet and outlet chambers, an interior chamber formed in said body portion between said diaphragm and a wall of said body portion, an interior pilot valve located in said body portion and that is operable to induce flow of fluid to and from said interior chamber for controlling the pressure differential across said diaphragm wherein the diaphragm is flexed in accordance with the pressure differential thereacross to control communication between said inlet and outlet chambers, and means communicating with said inlet chamber and said interior chamber for restricting flow of fluid to and from said interior chamber so as to prevent too rapid closing of said diaphragm and thereby preventing waterhammer from occurring in said pipes, said flow restricting means including an elongated cylindrical control chamber that directly communicates with said pilot valve and in which a restrictor member is located, said restrictor member cooperating with the interior of said control chamber to define a spirally extending restricted passage for restricting flow of fluid therethrough, wherein flow of fluid to and from said interior chamber is restricted to produce gradual changes in the differential pressure across said diaphragm, said flow restricting means further including a cylindrical secondary chamber, the longitudinal axis of which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said control chamber, said secondary chamber having an end wall that is located adjacent to and forming a part of a wall of said control chamber, an orifice that is restricted relative to said control and secondary chambers extending through the end wall of said secondary chamber for communication with said control chamber to provide for direct communication between said secondary and control chambers and for restricted flow of fluid from said secondary chamber to said control chamber, said secondary chamber directly communicating with said inlet chamber, wherein restricted flow of fluid from said inlet chamber to said control chamber and to said interior chamber is provided for supplying line pressure therein, thereby locating the diaphragm in the closed position thereof.
2. A valve construction as set forth in claim 1, said fluid inducing means further including a passage 8 formed in said body portion that communicates directly with said outlet chamber, said pilot valve controlling communication between said passage and said flow restricting means.
3. A valve construction as set forth in claim 1, an interior passage interconnecting said pilot valve to said control chamber, wherein direct communication between said control chamber and outlet chamber is provided when said pilot valve is moved to the open position thereof, thereby reducing the pressure in said interior chamber with respect to the pressure in said inlet chamber, to cause the diaphragm to move to the open position 4. A valve construction as set forth in claim 1, a screen located in said secondary chamber and adjacent to said restricted orifice for screening the fluid passing therethrough.

Evaluating the Influence of Room Acoustics on L/R Stereo Perception
The acoustics of room or studio produce unexpected weightings on the L/R perception of stereo sound. Using third-octave noise and N-A techniques, rapid accurate procedures for evaluating many listening positions, identifying the best ones objectively, as well as stereo figures of merit for the overall room are given. Statistical mathematics and TI-59 programs for quick processing of results are supplied. The curious effect of room acoustics on L/R source perception bias vs. frequency is discussed.
