Account Management Interview
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took a week – interviewed at Rackspace in April 2011.
The process was not well handled by the recruitment agency, as the position was not clearly defined. Hence, the telephonic interview with the hiring manager from Rackspace was disjointed. Later on realised that the job description had been mixed up.
- How will you handle a difficult customer? Answer Question

One round so far - a phone call. Pretty friendly experience directly with the group manager. I expected to talk to an HR/recruiting rep. Process is still ongoing.

Persecuting Our Heroes
Honor and Betrayal: The Untold Story of the Navy SEALs Who Captured the "Butcher of Fallujah" – and the Shameful Ordeal They Later Endured
By Patrick Robinson, with Matthew McCabe and Jonathan Keefe
De Capo Press, 356 pages, $26.99
On Veterans Day in 2010, I published an article in the Richmond Times-Dispatch about three heroic Navy SEALs who participated in a bold and successful raid to capture a notorious terrorist, and how they were later accused of "abuse" and ultimately acquitted in court martial trials. I was interested in their story as a Navy veteran and as a lawyer who has represented both companies and individuals accused of wrongdoing by our Department of Justice. Moreover, I have a connection to one of the SEALs: I know Jonathan Keefe's parents, and his uncle Peter Keefe is a close friend; no finer people walk the planet.

Center of Gravity
Newton's Football: The Science Behind America's Game
by Allen St. John and Ainissa G. Ramirez.
(Ballantine Books, 273 pages, $26)
The football doesn't fall far from the tree, it seems. Newton's Football: The Science Behind America's Game, so named for the apple-pondering scientist, makes good on the description found on its dust jacket flap: "[A] clever and accessible look at the big ideas underlying the science of football."
Various scientific and mathematical phenomena are on display in football, but most of us do not notice them any more than the millions who flourished before Isaac Newton noticed gravity. In unpretentious fashion, this book discusses (I am quoting the authors' delightful chapter headings) "The Divinely Random Bounce of the Prolate Spheroid," "How to Turn A Big Mac into A Linebacker," and "Why Woodpeckers Don't Get Concussions," and even answers the pressing question "How Is a Quarterback Like Your Laptop?"

The Art of Sleeping Alone: Why One French Woman Suddenly Gave Up Sex
By Sophie Fontanel
(Scribner, 160 pages, $22)
When I was handed Sophie Fontanel's award-winning memoir The Art of Sleeping Alone: Why One French Woman Suddenly Gave Up Sex, I flipped to the first full page of text and looked for a laugh. Here, after all, were portents of sub-Sheryl Sandberg rubbish by the editor of the French Elle, the sort of book that high-powered she-executives read when they are cut off from their email at 10,000 feet. I was expecting equal parts bolt-cutter feminism and cloying sentimentality, tossed with a few sassy self-help tips.
Fontanel may have chosen to spend her middling years sexless, but her memoir is mum on whether everyone else ought to. On page nine she suggests duh-ishly that not having sex if you don't feel up to it "does a world of good." Otherwise The Art of Sleeping Alone is pretty standard memoir fare.

Whatcha Gonna Do If They Come for You
Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America's Police Forces
By Radley Balko
(Public Affairs, 400 pages, $27.99)
As a first year law student and aspiring prosecutor, I was in potential-employment heaven at the government jobs fair. Nearly every federal agency was there, along with many state and local agencies, all promising opportunities to throngs of would-be deputies. Several federal agencies, including the Inspector General's Office in the Social Security Administration, advertised that they let their employees carry a gun. That this gave me no pause at the time demonstrates that Radley Balko, a prominent critic of police militarization and author of Rise of the Warrior Cop, has his work cut out for him.

New program roots students in Sweet Briar history
When the first 51 women enrolled in Sweet Briar Institute in 1906, they were making history — in more than one way. At the time, most women didn't go to college, especially not in the South. More than a century later, first-year students at Sweet Briar College are still doing their own thing: they're among just two percent nationwide who chose to go to a women's college in 2014.

Nice to go up to Rockies after seeing a performancPosted Mar 10, 2015
Pros: Bed was very comfortable.
Cons: Coffee in room, even with less water and double filters of coffee was very weak and flavorless.
Location: As mentioned, I came up to see a performance in Beaver Creek that was great.
Seeing the performance in Beaver Creek was great and enjoyed the hotel, room, bed was very comfortable/something not all hotels have. I did mention that the coffee in room was very weak. Breakfast was nice with good variety. Was only an overnight stay, so I didn't have a lot of time to enjoy things as much as I'd like to.

A Much Cheaper Option for Vail / Beaver CreekPosted Feb 28, 2015
Pros: I appreciate the hotel providing a computer in the lobby so I could check my email daily. Thanks!
Cons: Everything was fine.
Location: Ski and relax!
Stayed two nights to ski at Beaver Creek (about 20 minutes by car) and at Vail (about 25 minutes). This hotel offers clean, modern rooms. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Large TV. Friendly staff. Ample parking. Very nice breakfast with hot food items (scrambled eggs, sausages, etc.). Though the hotel is very close to Interstate 70, I had a back room (facing the hillside behind the hotel, so no view) and didn't hear the freeway traffic at all.

Okay but a number of minor issuesPosted Nov 25, 2014
On a recent business trip a coworker and I stayed in this hotel. It was clean though dated. The staff was nice and tried to help us as issues popped up. My co-worker's TV did not work (but was repaired), and my internet access did not happen. The lobby computer worked a little better but the printer functioned poorly. We were missing the "do not disturb" signs for our rooms. The breakfast hot food was cold, which we remedied with the microwave oven. We had the sense the hotel was in transition.

Was better in the pastPosted Aug 1, 2014 on Hotels.com
There were several problems that could possibly have been overlooked had they happened separately. But all these over the course of a short (two night) visit has us considering other arrangements for next year. 1) No refrigerator in the room as requested. We were told there was nothing to be done until the next day, when we could change rooms. A large hassle as well as being too late for the food we had intended to store. 2) Our bathtub floor, as well as our neighbor's, squeaked loudly with every move. Trying to take an early morning shower quietly, I think I woke up everyone in my room, as well as everyone in the rooms around us. 3) A notebook apparently meant for our convenience was not convenient: The wifi password didn't work, which was annoying because we tried several times, thinking we were just typing it in wrong, and finally had to call the front desk who told us the new password; The Channels Guide was wrong, with what seemed like the majority of channels listed not actually available; We didn't even try to call any of the establishments listed, just assuming that they would all be out of business. It would be appreciated if a notebook with Helpful Information would be updated on a regular basis so as to be actually helpful. 4) On our final night, the internet was out completely and we were told there was nothing that could be done until Monday. As we were attempting to access an online college class, this was extremely frustrating.

Argos have a Ray of hope
With hot QB, a win in Montreal today not that big an upset
MONTREAL -- There always seemed to be something on the line when the Montreal Alouettes and Toronto Argonauts met this season, and now they're locked in their biggest must-win game of the year.
The victor in the CFL East Division final at Olympic Stadium today earns a trip to the Grey Cup game.
"I don't get caught up with people talking about rivalries," Montreal quarterback Anthony Calvillo said Saturday. "It's going to be a tough game whether you like the other team or not."
The Alouettes won two of three meetings with Toronto this season to claim first place in the division, but that was before quarterback Ricky Ray and the Argonauts offence jelled for an impressive finish to the season.
Toronto won their first meeting of the year with Montreal 23-20 on July 27 with Ray behind centre, but he was hurt in the first quarter of their next match-up on Sept. 23, a 31-10 victory the Alouettes needed to avoid losing the season series to the Double Blue.
Jarious Jackson was in for the injured Ray as Montreal secured first place with a 24-12 win in Toronto on Oct. 14.
In three games since returning from injury, including a 42-26 victory over Ray's former team Edmonton in the East semifinal last Sunday, the veteran has completed 67 of 93 passes, a 72 per cent clip, for 922 yards and 10 touchdowns.
"Everyone's playing a lot better," said Ray, Toronto's prize pick-up in a trade last winter. "Offensively, guys are starting to understand what we're doing.
"This was all new for everybody. People understand their roles. Guys aren't thinking as much. We're just playing good football."
Ray has faced the Alouettes four times in the playoffs with Edmonton, winning Grey Cup games in 2003 and 2005, losing a Grey Cup at home soil 2002, and dropping a 36-26 decision in the East final at the Big O in 2008.
He knows it will be deafening in the domed stadium, where a crowd approaching 50,000 is expected.
"The biggest challenge for us is the crowd noise," Ray said. "We've just got to communicate really well. It's every road team's goal to get off to a good start and quiet the crowd."
These are teams that know one another better than most.
The Argos' first-year head coach Scott Milanovich was Montreal boss Marc Trestman's offensive co-ordinator last season. Defensive co-ordinator Chris Jones and offensive line coach Steve McAdoo also once coached in Montreal. Quarterbacks coach Jason Maas was once one of Calvillo's back-ups.
Among the Argonauts who once played for Montreal are star receiver and kick returner Chad Owens, safety Etienne Boulay and tackle Chris Van Zeyl.
"We had some success when I was with this (Montreal) organization, but our team is anxious and hungry to come out here and take that next step that we've been building toward all year," said Milanovich. "It's nice to be back, but it doesn't feel the same when you're on the other side."
Montreal has won six of 10 meetings with Toronto in division finals, including the last three.
The latest was in 2010, when the Alouettes crushed them 48-17.
Belli played for the Argos in that game. The Toronto native came out of retirement near the end of the season to help shore up the defensive line.
"My last professional game was here before I retired," he said. "I've got a sour taste in my mouth, losing against the Birds here.
"I can't wait to ruin their day."
For Milanovich, the key to victory is turnovers. The Argos led the CFL in give-away, take-away differential this season at plus-10, but Montreal was third at plus-7.

Why your waiter has just got dumber and other green shoots ...
Long taxi queues, hot pants, quality biscuits and a skyscape of cranes: these are the new economic indicators, says Rosamund Urwin
Published: 14 November 2013
Updated: 14:43, 14 November 2013
Are we out of econo-mageddon and back on the path to economic Arcadia? The boffins at the Bank of England think so. The central bank raised its forecasts for both growth and employment yesterday. Growth could be as high as 2.8 per cent next year — outpacing all economies in the developed world except for the US. Optimists believe the green shoots are turning into flourishing trees.
But there are still plenty of doom-mongers who warn that the Panglosses are heralding an economy recovery built on debt. Neither a renewed housing bubble nor consumers maxing out their credit cards is true cause for celebration, they say. Any recovery is patchy at best.
Wage hikes are being outstripped by inflation. Unemployment — particularly among the young — is still high. And London is increasingly a place apart, with more in common with New York now than Newcastle: so a recovery may be felt by many here but that doesn't mean it's being seen across the country.
Of course the economists have access to reams of data to make their predictions, picking apart the numbers like the haruspex in Ancient Rome inspecting entrails. For the rest of us, keeping up with what manufacturing output figures, retail sales and mortgage approvals reveal is demanding. But there are easier-to-understand economic indicators. So here are seven signs to indicate whether the economy is finally picking up:
How Pants Are Your Boyfriend's Pants?
Have a rummage through the nearest man's underwear drawer. Is it full of new Calvin Kleins or holey John Major numbers? If the former, happy days! The economy is on the up. That's because sales of men's pants are very sensitive to sentiment.
When the economy is pootering along nicely, men restock their briefs and boxers regularly (well, the average man does). But in the toughest times, sales dip because few see the state of your skivvies; Mintel reckoned sales of men's underwear dropped by 2.3 per cent in 2009.
Current signs are good: Selfridges recently reported a 28 per cent jump in sales of men's bodywear. Pants are powerful economic indicators — even former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan is a fan of the "Underwear Model".
The Taxi Test
Cabbies are famous complainers. Trade is dire. The Mayor doesn't do enough for the industry. Addison Lee's bosses are the spawn of Satan. But during recessions, they have good cause to complain: they are self-employed, the demand for their services is strongly tied to economic fluctuations and the number of cabs on the road doesn't radically reduce when the economy splutters.
Whether there are long lines of yellow lights or there's a vicious fight for each cab is unsurprisingly a strong indicator of the consumer mood. A top banker tells me he gauges the state of the economy by the taxi rank at Paddington station: is there a queue of taxis or a queue for taxis?
So how is the trade faring currently? According to Geoffrey Riesel, chief executive and chairman of Radio Taxis, there has been a marked pick-up in trade in recent weeks: "Following years of the doldrums, by late September this year, business volumes suddenly soared, as did levels of London traffic."
The Biscuit Index
The office biccie tin is a measure of business confidence. Financial journalist Elizabeth Pfeuti jokes that she knew Lehman Brothers was a goner in the run-up to the investment bank's collapse when a selection of Foxes biscuits under clingfilm "like grannies have at Christmas" were served with warm Diet Coke.
At Goldman Sachs, which weathered the recession well, Pfeuti says there were homemade cookies. So if the plate proffered at meetings sports Tesco value digestives and Jammy Dodgers, it's still tin hat time. When Marks & Spencer's chocolatey rounds sneak back on, we're heading back to Boom Britain.
Count the Cranes
Scan the Square Mile skyline. It would be easy to assume that those cranes sculpting skyscrapers with silly nicknames — The Cheesegrater, The Walkie-Talkie — are cause for cheer but actually they can be harbingers of doom. At the start of the Great Depression, both the Chrysler building and the Empire State building were being built.
According to evidence gathered back in 1999 by Andrew Lawrence, research director at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, building the globe's tallest skyscraper tends to augur an impending downturn. That's because skyscrapers are a lagging indicator: their construction peaks just as the bubble is bursting, as the boom is on the cusp of turning to a bust.
So Londoners perhaps shouldn't mourn the mothballing of The Pinnacle, the site at 22-24 Bishopsgate which was supposed to become the City's tallest skyscraper but has been stunted and rechristened "The Stump".
Your Waitress Just Got A Little More Plain
It's the indicator to rile the feminist, one that the Wall Street Journal's Guide to the 50 Economic Indicators That Matter dubs the "Vixen Index". When the economy is strong, the genetically blessed — especially the female half — have more options to benefit from their appearance.
There's modelling, promotions work, being a hostess in a club — all relatively well-rewarded work. But these jobs are the kind that evaporate when the economy is the gutter. That means restaurant managers can hire these women to wait tables, knowing that a certain type of punter is more likely to come, and to tip more generously as a result. Likewise, a high number of graduates waiting tables is an indicator of economic malaise — and, in a recession disproportionately hitting the young, that shows little sign of shifting. Almost a million 16- to 24-year-olds are still classified as NEETS — not in employment, education or training.
Service Speed
Is your builder suddenly too busy to take your calls? Has the wait at the bar suddenly extended? Good news! It may not feel like it but it's reason to celebrate.
A builder in high demand will have too packed a day for phone calls. So if they answer in one ring, it's a sign to stock up on tinned goods. And if there's no queue to buy a drink, consumers are too strapped for cash to be splashing out. From a consumer perspective, the day your friends decide to go to Pizza Express without a voucher is a sure sign that the economy is off its deathbed.
Be the Best ... ish
In the US the brutality of the advertisements to recruit marines has been suggested as an economic indicator. Essentially, when the job market is dire, there is an over-supply of youngsters trying to sign up, so the TV ads get tougher — all big guns, barbed wire and trailing through swamps. The hope is that the less motivated recruits are put off. Watching the current crop of military ads, none looks like an easy ride — but perhaps if the economy truly is picking up, it'll soon be all bunny rabbits and songs from Glee.

Mar Chiquita (in Spanish literally "Little Sea") or Mar de Ansenuza is an endorheic salt lake located in the northeast of the province of Córdoba, in central Argentina. The northeast corner of the lake also extends into southeastern Santiago del Estero Province. It is the largest of the naturally occurring saline lakes in Argentina. The lake is located in parts of five departments in the two provinces.
The lake occupies the southern part of a depression that measures about 50 miles/80 km (north–south) by 28 miles/45 km (east–west). Its surface area varies considerably, given its shallow depth (about 10 m), and ranges between 2000 and 6000 km² (1242 and 3728 mi²).
Mar Chiquita is fed primarily by the saline waters of the Dulce River, coming from Santiago del Estero in the north after being joined by the Saladillo River. The lands around the lower course of the Dulce and Mar Chiquita are wetlands, populated by a large biodiversity (especially aquatic birds). From the southwest the lake receives the flow of the Primero/Suquía and the Segundo/Xanaes rivers, as well as several streams; these inflows vary greatly from dry to rainy seasons. The salinity of Mar Chiquita is quite variable, with measured extremes ranging from 250 g/l in times of low water levels to around 40 g/l in very humid years, such as in the decade following 1977, when record rainfall flooded much of Miramar, Córdoba.
There are several islands in the lake, the most important one being the Médano Island. Mar Chiquita is slowly diminishing in volume due to increased evaporation and elevation of its bottom, and is ultimately bound to turn into a salt flat. The lake was formerly home to a growing tourism industry, and was the site of the Gran Hotel Vienna, a luxurious, lakefront establishment which functioned from 1945 to 1980, and has been the center of numerous mysteries and controversies.[2]

Good time to locate and secure your firearms too…
a child is 16 times more likely to die by accidental shooting in this country than in other high-income nations. Toddlers were more likely to shoot themselves, while older children were more likely to be shot by someone else. Most of the shootings — 84 percent — occurred at home or in the family car.
It was a July 2 Quinnipiac University Poll where those polled voted Obama the worst president. Ever. Republicans see Obama as a lawbreaker and a violator of the Constitution who must be removed from office by the Congress. Democrats see President Obama someone who has done the best anyone possibly could against an opposition that used the filibuster for two years, then a combination of the filibuster and a Republican House to stop all Obama's attempts to exercise his lawful authority as chief executive of the US.
Of course, a poll July 3 said that starting the Iraq war was terrible and ending it was good, which seems to contradict the July 2 poll (although the July 2 poll did find that Bush, jr was in 2nd place for Worst President).
Which brings up Nobel Laureate Kenneth Arrow's proof that all rankings by voting are irredeemably flawed. Prof Arrow's proof was purely theoretical, so it's nice that we have solid empirical evidence of its validity (and that the Nobel committee was right, at least about Arrow's prize).
Well said.
I think the problem in Washington is we have to many racist in congress.
Voters with less maturity than your average three-year-old don't help. They're easily manipulated with radical rhetoric, and don't have the patience to do their homework and search out truths.
Just when you think getting rid of Cantor would be good thing, you have him replaced by a squirrel on PCP. As bad, and childish as Boehner has gotten, who, or what, would the radical right replace him with?
In Iraq, and elsewhere, it's interesting to see "the radical right" AND "radical left" condemning Obama, for continuing Bush policies more vociferously than where he's diverging.
May you live in "interesting times".
"As bad, and childish as Boehner has gotten, who, or what, would the radical right replace him with?"
Next you're going to try tell us that Nancy Pelosi is sane. And that Harry Reid is not a senile old man.
^Just a note: I've said dozens of times here that I also don't like Pelosi or Reid and their failed "leadership", but Boehner's just gone nuts.
Phil Hands drew a very apt, poignant 'toon for the occasion. (I love the way he drew Boehner!)
The founding fathers had many deep faults also, including dramatic personal arguments.
The lesson from history is great things happen when we reach compromise forged out of the fire of debate.
did not Obama also smoke?? .. typical Liberals.. they only show what they want others to see… which is rarely.. reality..

New Coupes and Compact Cars Ratings
Getting firsthand information from an actual car owner is one sure way to get an idea of car performance once it leaves the lot. Autobytel features real consumer reviews that give the unbiased experience of a car.
2002 Kia Spectra - GSX (M5) Liftback
Pros: comfortable ride
Cons: need a few more horse power
Advice: Make sure if you want remote controlled mirrors you ask for Electrically controlled!I bought a 2001 GSX with cruise option. Quieter than I had expected. Performance improved once it was broken in. Heat comes on faster than any other vehicle I have ever owned, even on very cold days. AC Worked great. A little low to the ground when entering and exiting. Comfortable for 4 with no problem. I love the hatchback since it keeps me from storing junk there like I would in a regular trunk.
2002 Kia Spectra - Base (M5) Sedan
Pros: price
Cons: Quality, Ride
Advice: Buy ANY other brand.My friend, who doesn't read before she buys, bought the p.o.s. Sephia, thinking she was saving money and not giving up quality in the meantime. I told her to buy a civic like anyone else who wants reliability, but she had to be cheap. In 6000 kms, her transmission went TWICE. Sure, the car is covered under warranty, but she's been left roadside twice. I would recommend reading Consumer Reports, the only non-subsidized source of advice out there, and they will tell you the truth about KIA's awful quality and worse ride. I just sold a 1995 Accord with 210,000 kms and had NO problems with it, EVER. I bought a new 2002 civic three months ago. It's already shown its value beyond the KIA, and you can only imagine what resale and quality will be like in 4 years or so!
2002 Honda Accord - 2.3 EX (M5) Sedan
Pros: Reliability
Cons: Everything
Advice: Don't Buy one! Buy a Passat!We Owned a 1999 Honda Accord EX.It was the worst Car we've ever owned in our ENTIRE lives! The only good thing about it is Reliability........otherwise it was JUNK as the old Honda's used to be.It had Nothing going for it Accelaration,comfort,ride,handleing,fit and finish and more! Everybody says they are great don't beilieve them they are Terrible.
2002 Honda Accord - 3.0 EX w/Leather (A4) Coupe
Pros: Suspension
Cons: Tires---The Michelins are not good in rain, and cost 131.00 ea
Advice: You cant lose with this car. They never breakMy fouth Accord, this is the best one I have owned. The build quality of this car is only matched by the Toyotas. I just traded a Subaru for this, and it is not in the same league. The AWD offered better traction, but thats it. My V6 cost $6k less, and offers better mileage, its more comfortable, and reliability is better. I drive a lot, so mileage piles up, and the Honda never has problems. A lot of parts wore out on the 99 Outback, the quality was not at all like the Honda. I added a few items on my Accord for performance, and spent time with people who live cars. They all marvel at the level of quality, how well built the Accord and Civics are, how everything fits, nothing is cheap. This car is fast, handles well, and is excellent in bad weather for only front wheel drive(std traction control). The bottom line is you cant lose with this car, I paid 23k for the V6 EX Coupe. At 100k, this car will be in excellent condition, that why they hold their resale value like Mercedes. The Accord is the best car for its cost, read the reviews. My only complaint is the stock tires,the Michelins are just OK, a Continental Contact, which cost 40 dollars less per tire, would be better
2002 Nissan Sentra - GXE (M5)
Pros: Excellent frame rigidity.
Cons: No ABS.
Advice: Recommended for short or long time ownersWhat i like is the feedback that the car is giving us, it is very informative, and you are very aware of what is going on with the car you're driving, giving you also a nice feeling of total control. Every pieces of equipment is working perfectly and efficiently in this car, from the A-C and electrics, up to the wippers! The layout is good, and it give an impression of great overall quality. I rent the GXE 2001 version, and i see it as an excellent car for grown-ups, and people who buy theirs first brand new car.
2002 Nissan Sentra - SE-R (M5)
Pros: ENGINE TECHNOLOGY
Cons: CUP HOLDERS
Advice: SPEC-V REQUIRES PREMIUM GAS SE-R DOES NOTI BOUGHT THE SENTRA SE-R, MANUAL TRANSMISSION HAS MORE POWER THEN ANYTHING ELSE IN THE PRICE RANGE. QUALITY AT THE PRICE PAID CANNOT BE BEAT. NISSAN IS THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRIES BEST KEPT SECRET IN THE COMPACT CAR CLASS.
2002 Nissan Sentra - SE-R Spec V (M6)
Pros: Race-ready
Cons: Race-ready = stiff suspension = rough ride on bad roads
Advice: I'd start it in 2ndBought my Spec-V about 3 weeks ago - this is the most car for your money you are going to find anywhere. It's very comfortable, roomy, affordable, attractive, and sporty. Don't buy a Focus, Neon, Civic, or any small car until you've tested this one. If you can't appreciate the ergonomics and economics of this car, you WILL appreciate its' ability to cover ground in a hurry. The feature list is huge - Power everything, AC, fog lights, six speed, Z-rated 17' tires/wheels, sunroof, 6-disc, 9 speakers, 300watt amp, 8' subwoofer, 175hp, limited-slip differential, front strut brace, folddown rearseat, etc etc. The six-speed is absolutely fluid. Want to own a car that will turn heads with looks and sound, get great gas mileage, be fun to drive, costs 3-5 grand less than similarly equipped models, have every little feature and still beat a mustang in a drag race?? It ain't nowhere but Sentra.

3. The device as recited in claim 2 wherein said chamber is cylindrical.
4. The device as recited in claim 1 wherein the height of said device is less than two inches.
5. The device as recited in claim 1 wherein said housing is connected to a proportioning pump having a water inlet, a concentrate inlet, a water outlet, and a concentrate outlet, and wherein said water inlet of said housing is connected to said water outlet of said pump, and said concentrate inlet of said housing is connected to said concentrate outlet of said pump.
6. The device as recited in claim 5 including a flushing water line connected to said flushing water inlet of said housing.
7. The device as recited in claim 1 including four such proportioning pumps with one of said devices for each pump and a manifold solenoid block mounted between pumps on a pull-out tray.
8. The device as recited in claim 7 wherein said block has five solenoids and five outlets, four for water connected one each to a pump water inlet and one connected to each of said flushing water inlets of each of said four devices.
This invention relates to a tower type juice dispenser and in particular to a mixing and flushing device fix use therewith.
Juice dispensing towers are well-known, including all parts of the system of this invention except for the mixing and flushing device. Previously the water outlet and the concentrate outlet from the proportioning pump were connected together at a T and mixed together in a hit-or-miss fashion in the length of line between the T and the dispensing faucet of the tower. To flush the system required lines to be disconnected and new lines connected, after having pulled the pumps out of the under-the-counter unit for access thereto.
A mixing and flushing device for use on a proportioning pump of a juice tower dispenser. The device occupies very little vertical space such that it fits in the small space available above the proportioning pumps in the under-the-counter unit of a juice tower dispenser. The small device not only provides an excellent mixing chamber for improved mixing of the water and juice concentrate, but also includes a flushing line and check valve for feeding flushing water into the mixing chamber, where the water hits and automatically maintains the concentrate poppet valve closed.
The present invention will be more fully understood from the detailed description below when read in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements and wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the overall arrangement of a juice dispensing tower in which the present invention can be used;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing four proportioning pumps each with one of the mixing and flushing devices of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a partly exploded perspective view of one proportioning pump with the mixing and flushing device of this invention exploded;
FIG. 4 is a partly broken away, exploded, perspective view of the mixing and flushing device of this invention;
FIG. 5 is a schematic, broken-away front view of the under-the-counter unit; and
FIG. 6 is a schematic, broken-away side view of the under-the-counter unit.
With reference now to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows an overview of a juice dispensing tower 10 with which this invention can be used. The tower 10 includes a counter 12, an under-the-counter unit 14, a tower 16 having four buttons 18 for dispensing four different flavors from a single nozzle 20 above a grate 22 from which a tube 24 feeds spilled liquid into a tank 26. A python 28 leads from the unit 14 to the tower 16 and includes four beverage lines and two recirculating water lines inside of an insulating tube.
FIGS. 5 and 6 show diagrammatically what is inside of the unit 14. FIG. 5 shows the front of the unit 14 wherein at the top are located four concentrate containers 30. Below the containers 30 is a pull-out tray 32 on which four proportioning pumps 34, such as the type shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,684,332, are located, along with a manifold and solenoid block 36. Below the pumps 34 is a recirculating pump 38 for pumping cold water up and back through the python 28.
FIG. 6 shows the side of the unit 14 and shows the items discussed above at the front of the unit. At the back of the unit 14 on the bottom is a cold water bath 40 with water cooling coils and on top is a pull-out refrigeration deck 42 (including condenser, motor condenser coils, etc.). FIG. 5 also shows concentrate lines 44 each going from one of the containers 30 to a respective one of the pumps 34. A water line goes from a cooling coil (not shown) in the water bath 40 to the block 36 where four solenoids 46 control the water flow to the pumps.
When a selected button 18 is pushed for a selected juice beverage from a choice of, for example, orange juice, apple juice, grapefruit juice, etc., the appropriate one of the solenoids is energized sending water to the appropriate pump, which then draws concentrate through a check valve to that pump and from that pump the mixture of water and concentrate to the nozzle 20 of the tower 16.
The mixing and flushing device 50 of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 2-4. The device 50 is attached on top of a proportioning pump 34 which has a water inlet 52, a concentrate inlet 54, a water outlet 56 and a concentrate outlet 58. Prior to this invention, the two outlets 56 and 58 would be connected by a T to a single line to the tower nozzle, and the water and concentrate would hopefully mix in the line.
FIG. 2 shows four proportioning pumps 34 used in a four flavor tower dispensing system, along with the manifold and solenoid block 36. These pumps 34 and block 36 are mounted on a pull-out tray 32. One of the devices 50 is mounted on each of the pumps 34. A description of one device 50 will now be provided with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show a device 50 comprising a housing 60 having a water inlet 62, a concentrate inlet 64, a flushing water inlet 66, an outlet 68, and a mixing chamber 70 having a water inlet opening 72, a concentrate opening 74, and a side outlet opening 76. A poppet valve 78 is movably located in the concentrate opening. The concentrate opening 74 has a circular valve seat 80. The poppet valve 78 has a circular edge 82 which seals against the valve seat 80. A ball and spring check valve 84 is located in a flushing water passageway 86 which leads to a water passageway 88 from the water inlet 62 to the water opening 72.
Each of the concentrate containers 30 is connected by a concentrate line 44 to a respective one of the pumps 34. The concentrate passageway in the pump has a check valve which opens only when the pump is activated. A water line 90 feeds cold water from cooling coils in the water bath 40 to the block 36. Four solenoids 92 are connected to the block 36 and control water flow to a respective one of the four pumps 34. A fifth solenoid 94 controls the flow of flushing water to all four pumps at the same time. The flushing water lines are connected to the four flushing water inlets 66.
In operation, when a selected button 18 is pushed, a selected one of the four solenoids is energized, sending water to the pump 34 for that flavor (connected to the appropriate concentrate container 30). The water causes the pump to be energized drawing concentrate into the pump and out with water into the device 50, where they mix in the mixing chamber and are fed out the outlet 68 through the python 28 and out the nozzle 20 of the tower 16.
When the flushing button is pushed, the solenoid 94 sends the same water to all four devices through the flushing water inlet 66, opening the check valve 84, forcing the poppet valve closed, and flowing out the outlet opening 76 and out the nozzle 20, cleaning all the passageways and surfaces touched by the concentrate downstream from the pump. The pump and containers 30 are maintained cold by virtue of their proximity to the cold water bath.
The poppet valve 78 will move tip a short distance when concentrate is pumped to provide a small annular orifice through which only a thin stream of concentrate flows. It is hit hard and violently by the water to provide excellent mixing in the chamber 70.
The chamber 70 is preferably cylindrical and the top of the poppet valve is concave to assist the water in spreading out into contact with the thin stream of concentrate. The bottom wall 96 of the chamber is tapered to also assist mixing.
The force of the flushing water hitting the poppet valve will maintain it closed.
A bracket 96 conveniently holds the device 50 in place.
While the preferred embodiment of this invention has been described above in detail, it is to be understood that variations and modifications can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Silva surges in Brazil election race, threatens Rousseff -poll
BRASILIA, Aug 26 (Reuters) – A surging Marina Silva has
narrowed President Dilma Rousseff's lead in Brazil's
presidential race, a new opinion poll showed on Tuesday, paving
the way for a likely second-round runoff in which the popular
environmentalist looks well-positioned to win.
Silva, who was thrust into the presidential race last week
following the death of her party's candidate, has 29 percent of
voter support heading into the Oct. 5 vote, according to the
survey by polling institute Ibope.
Rousseff, rivals change tack in Brazil's reshaped election
SAO PAULO/BRASILIA, Aug 21 (Reuters) – When Brazil's
notoriously private President Dilma Rousseff showed up in her
kitchen cooking pasta in a campaign TV ad this week, it was one
of the clearest signs yet that the country's October election is
up for grabs.
Rousseff and other candidates are shifting strategies and
showing rarely seen sides of their personalities in what
suddenly looks like a tight three-way race following this week's
late entry of popular environmentalist Marina Silva.
Brazil's Silva launches bid, threatens Rousseff re-election
BRASILIA, Aug 20 (Reuters) – Environmentalist Marina Silva
officially launched a bid for president on Wednesday, upending
Brazil's October elections and threatening the ruling Workers'
Party's 12-year hold on power.
Silva, until now a vice-presidential candidate for the
Brazilian Socialist Party, accepted its nomination to top the
ticket after candidate Eduardo Campos, a former governor and
rising political star, was killed in a plane crash last week.
Silva surges in Brazil election poll, runoff looks certain
BRASILIA (Reuters) – Marina Silva's entry into Brazil's presidential race will almost certainly force the October election into a second-round runoff and the environmentalist could even unseat President Dilma Rousseff, according to a poll released on Monday.
It showed Silva with the support of 21 percent of voters, almost three times more than center-left candidate Eduardo Campos, who she is poised to replace on the Brazilian Socialist Party's ticket after his death last week in a plane crash.
Brazilian environmentalist upends presidential election race
BRASILIA, Aug 15 (Reuters) – Environmentalist Marina Silva
could defeat President Dilma Rousseff if Brazil's October
election goes to a second-round run-off, according to a new poll
that saw the challenger entering the race in second place.
Silva, now with support of 21 percent of voters, has drawn
almost three times more backing than the late center-left
candidate Eduardo Campos who she is poised to replace in the
race after his death last week in a plane crash.
Brazilian environmentalist upends presidential race
BRASILIA (Reuters) – Environmentalist Marina Silva will enter Brazil's presidential race in a strong second place, backed by 21 percent of voters, and could overtake President Dilma Rousseff in a second-round runoff, a poll showed on Monday.
Silva has drawn almost three times more support than the late center-left candidate Eduardo Campos who she is poised to replace in the race after his death last week in a plane crash.
Brazilian politician still in shock, party stunned by candidate's death
BRASILIA (Reuters) – Brazilian environmentalist Marina Silva is still in shock from the death of presidential candidate Eduardo Campos and has not begun to consider whether she will run in his place, a close friend said on Thursday.
That closely watched decision could upend the Oct. 5 presidential race and threaten President Dilma Rousseff's re-election bid, given Silva's appeal to disaffected voters tired of the country's traditional parties.
Brazil candidate's death makes runoff more likely, pressures Rousseff
BRASILIA (Reuters) – The death of presidential candidate Eduardo Campos makes it even more likely Brazil's October election goes to a second round and could put President Dilma Rousseff under more pressure as she seeks a second term.
Campos died in a plane crash on Wednesday and his running mate Marina Silva is expected to pick up the baton and run for president herself. She is a popular figure who won 19.3 percent of the vote when she ran in 2010.
Japan PM tells Brazil 'Abenomics' working, time to do more business
BRASILIA, Aug 1 (Reuters) – Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo
Abe touted the success of his economic policies on a visit to
Brazil on Friday and said it was time for the two nations to
expand their trade and investment partnership.
On the first visit to Brazil in a decade by a Japanese prime
minister, Japanese banks extended $700 million in loans to boost
Brazilian soy and corn exports to Japan and build ship platforms
for Brazil's burgeoning offshore oil industry.
Workers' Party boss sees Rousseff re-election despite inflation
BRASILIA (Reuters) – High inflation should not keep Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff from getting re-elected in October because wage earners have been cushioned by social gains made during a decade of Workers' Party rule, the party's boss said.
"It's better to live with somewhat higher inflation that will come down in time than to have to sacrifice your job," Workers' Party President Rui Falcão told Reuters on Tuesday. "There is inflation, but you have your home, your children go to university, and there is work."

Veterans versus nonveterans: Factors contributing to substance abuse treatment completion/incarceration.
Conference/Meeting Name:
Comparing Veterans and Non-veterans Receiving Substance Abuse Treatment: An Analysis [symposium presentation]
Conference/Meeting Date:
Aug 2014
Research has compared Veterans and non-Veterans on a number of important topics, including suicide prevalence, alcoholism, and employment (Boscarino, 1981; David & Duggan, 2011; Kaplan, Huguet, McFarland, & Newsome, 2006). This study will focuses on differences in the factors that contributee to unsuccessful termination of substance abuse treatment and post-treatment incarceration for Veterans and non-Veterans. Comparisons of Veterans to non- Veterans found that, in general, a higher proportion of Veterans were male, and they tended to be older than the non-Veteran population. A multiple regression was done to identify factors that contribute to both unsuccessful treatment termination and incarceration within the complete population of Veterans and non-Veterans. Although many of the predictors of unsuccessful treatment termination and incarcerations were alike, there were several distinct differences. Being of Hispanic ethnicity was a significant predictor in Veterans but not among non-Veterans. Conversely, being unemployed and being older than 15 at age of first substance use was a predictor for unsuccessful treatment termination for non-Veterans but not for Veterans. With regard to incarceration, being non-Caucasian, graduating high school, being unemployed, having two or more prior arrests, having a co-occurring mental health diagnosis, and a longer length of stay in treatment were predictors for non-Veterans but not for Veterans. There were no predictors that were significant for Veterans that were not significant for non-Veterans. Such differences suggest a difference in predictive factors for veterans and non-veterans regarding both unsuccessful treatment termination as well as incarceration. Treatment and policy implications will be discussed.

Publication: The Wall Street Journal
Author: Larry Blumenfeld
Date: September 23, 2010
A trumpeter squared his shoulders, issued short rhythmic bursts based on one note, and then built a crowd-pleasing yet complex solo. A drummer mined a flexible groove, sharing a glance now and then—locking in—with a pianist whose harmonic shifts urged along the song. The three musicians bore a striking resemblance to one another. No coincidence: The trumpeter and drummer were Adam and Zachary O'Farrill, 15 and 18 years old, respectively. The pianist was their dad, Arturo O'Farrill, whose distinctions at age 50 include directing the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra.
