Tim Kasher says this follow-up to "Happy Hollow" doesn't have to be a concept album. But it kind of is, with most songs weighing in on what it means to be a grown-up in 2009.
And Kasher's inner 20-something isn't going quietly. He's 34 now and kicking things off with a mantra of, "Don't want to live in the now/Don't wanna know what I know," while the lead guitars recall the scrappy art-punk genius of those first few Richard Hell releases.
The moodier "Donkeys" finds him looking to "Pinocchio" for inspiration, one character scolding another with, "Isn't it time you act your age?/You got a mortgage on your shoulders, got a babe on the way," and the other responding, "Oh no, I'm goin' to Pleasure Island. I don't want to come home."
It all comes down to "From the Hips," it seems, where Kasher wonders if we weren't all happier before we got so civilized. "I hate this damn enlightenment," he sighs, before insisting, "We were better off as animals." Of course, an unenlightened thinker wouldn't think to ask these questions. That's what makes this album so intriguing. It's a thinking person's manifesto on the lost art of getting in touch with the animal side of human nature. And it rocks.

The former mayor of a Rwandan town has been convicted on genocide charges in connection with the 1994 massacre of some 2,000 people in his district.The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda sentenced Gregory Ndahimana to 15 years in prison on Thursday, after finding him guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity.Prosecutors had accused Ndahimana of helping to plan and carry out the slaughter of ethnic Tutsis in Rwanda's Kivumu district in April 1994.The judges dismissed those allegations, saying the massacre resulted from broad coordination by local authorities.Judges noted that Ndahimana was present at the scene of the crime, however, and failed to exercise control over the police.Most of the Tutsis died when Hutu militants bulldozed a church where the Tutsis had taken refuge from Hutu attacks. Hutu militants killed an estimated 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and Hutu moderates during the Rwandan genocide.
Some information for this report was provided by AFP and Reuters.

Popular fiction author and veteran camper, S.L. Coelho, enjoys thrilling readers and scaring them 'just a little'.
She grew up in southern Manitoba, entertaining her younger siblings with tall tales. As she matured, these tales blossomed into written works, which piled up in her school locker.
While employed at the Universities of Manitoba, and British Columbia, her written work attracted the attention of researchers, who requested her assistance in writing grant proposals.
Sometime later, she was cajoled into writing reams of documentation for several manufacturing practices and procedures manuals which were utilized to pass ISO certification. Her most recent responsibilities entailed managing, developing, and delivering a preschool literacy program for 'at risk' children.
Her love of books came from her grandparents' small library, where she discovered the vehicle to experience captivating worlds, cultures and experiences. S.L. Coelho resides in beautiful British Columbia with her husband and two youngest children.
She is an unapologetic chocoholic, chai tea consumer, carefree gardener, and a proud member of The Independent Author Network.

Published: April 6, 2003
By Robert Stone.
249 pp. Boston:
Houghton Mifflin Company. $25.
'' 'I came because I wanted to be with you, Lara. I could go back tonight if I wanted to.' In fact he wanted to share a taste of danger with her. To descend as far, to take as much of her as he could survive, and risk even more. 'Are you mine in the ranks of death?' she asked, laughing.''
That is the lurid entanglement lying at the heart of ''Bay of Souls,'' the latest addition to Robert Stone's dark canon. It's a fascinating addition. Unusual (for Stone) in its brevity, this is a highly concentrated work, probably the least violent yet most unnerving of his novels. And the philosophical conflict dramatized in it ends surprisingly, in a way that provokes new questions about what Stone is up to in his writing.
Michael Ahearn is unhappily married and unhappily professing English in a minor university at Fort Salines, in the bleak upper Midwest. He has an academic specialty it will behoove the reader to keep in mind -- literary ''vitalism,'' his designation for certain works by Frank Norris, Kate Chopin, Theodore Dreiser, Stephen Crane and James Branch Cabell containing an implied advocacy of self-realization through acts of physical and emotional hubris that embrace the risk of death. He has negative feelings about this literary tendency. Life is dull. Questions of religious faith vex him.
Enter the beautiful divorcée Lara Purcell, a political science professor with a secret past in clandestine trickery, first on the Soviet side and then for America. With the cold war over, she is in the process of dissolving her ties to the latest cabal of right-wing ruffians with whom she has been involved. She is an exotic type, French-English, from St. Trinity in the Windward Islands, where she grew up in an ambience of voodoo belief. In fact, her recently deceased brother, who had been an officiant in the voodoo religion, had teasingly ''stolen'' his younger sister's soul during a particular rite, consigning it to a mystical undersea realm. She takes this seriously and is under the conviction that only another voodoo ceremony can restore her soul to her. She is erotically aggressive and avant-garde, with a predilection for guns and choking straps as sex-play accessories.
A triangle with conspicuous religious dimensions develops. It connects the lapsed Catholic Ahearn, his hardshell Lutheran wife, Kristin, and the floridly pagan Lara. Off to the side is 12-year-old Paul, an only child, the devoutly Christian product of a parochial school education.
The affair progresses. Michael Ahearn, in his spiritual fatigue, his discontents, his hard drinking and drug use, resembles previous Stone heroes, if that's what they should be called. It's a pleasure to watch this writer at work as he individualizes his portraits of people gripped by beliefs and passions of unusual intensity. Here is Michael as he sits beside his son, who has just barely avoided freezing to death:
''Given her, he thought, given me, why didn't he die? Maybe he still will, Michael thought. . . . Michael had been afraid, for a while, that there was something out there. . . . An alpha and an omega to things. He had believed it for years on and off. And that night, he had felt certain, the fire would be visited on him. His boy would be taken away and he would know, know absolutely, the power of the most high. . . . But now his son's life was saved. And the great thing had come of nothing, of absolutely nothing, out of a kaleidoscope, out of a Cracker Jack box.''
Stone also knows how to kick a narrative along. He establishes in short order Michael's résumé as a sentimental but distracted and ineffectual father, a deer hunter who is always the only member of the hunting party who never fires a shot, a husband who has never troubled in years of marriage to ascertain the location of his wife's clitoris, an adulterer and liar of the utmost casualness. And then Stone moves the action away from Fort Salines, to the Caribbean. Lara proposes that Michael accompany her to St. Trinity, where she will complete the disposition of her family property, a hotel and some valuables, which will be the key to settling her accounts with the Colombian paramilitaries she and her brother have been mixed up with. She promises Michael that there will be opportunities for scuba diving, a sport he enjoys. The idea is that he will be with her simply as a friendly escort while she attends to her business agenda, which includes her participation in the wete mo danba dlo exercise that will memorialize her brother and secure the return of her soul. Michael sets up the trip, deceiving his wife about his destination and barely stopping to consider that St. Trinity is in turmoil. The island is divided between supporters of an unseated junta and a rebel force backed by the United States.
On the island, things go wrong. The action is furious, to the point that it overwhelms the niceties of character development. The family valuables essential to Lara's bargain for freedom are put aboard a small plane, which crashes into the ocean just off the coast of St. Trinity. Michael is on hand to make a harrowing night dive. He is only partially successful in his effort to retrieve Lara's jewels. Complications naturally ensue. Some of these island scenes are vintage Stone, laconic and riveting, in particular the night dive (a condensed variant of the one in ''A Flag for Sunrise'') and Michael's flight through a chaos of flaming roadblocks. The climactic voodoo event, also vividly described, does take place, with fateful and unexpected implications for Michael and Lara, and with equally unexpected implications, I think, for the interpretation of Stone's inner text or leitmotif in this book and its predecessors. I'll do my best to sketch what I mean without revealing the book's ending.

I have a Postgresql database with 3 Schemas (2 user defined and 1 public).
I have script that takes backup of the user defined schema's and then drops the schema's.
Now after doing some operations I want to restore the user defined schemas from the schema backup(schema_backup.out).
When I execute
cat schema_backup.out | psql xx_db_name_xx
I am getting the following error message
ERROR: permission denied for database xx_db_name_xx
ERROR: schema "aaaa" does not exist
ERROR: permission denied for database xx_db_name_xx
ERROR: schema "bbbb" does not exist
ERROR: must be owner of database xx_db_name_xx
When I execute the same command as Admin user its executing just fine. But, when I execute as a 'xxxxxx' user its failing.
Can someone guide me, what permissions/rights should be added to 'xxxxxx' to restore the schema?

I'm trying to figure out how one goes about setting up DNS in a setup like at my work. We have:
- A "business" DSL line that is just a home DSL line with a dedicated IP address
- A Sonicwall router (NAT/VPN) appliance connected to the DSL modem (192.168.1.1)
- A Windows Server 2008 R2 box running Active Directory and DNS (192.168.1.2)
Each PC on our network is configured to use 192.168.1.2 as DNS, using manually-configured IP addresses. DHCP is enabled on the Sonicwall for VPN clients, not used for our workstations.
The server's NIC is configured to use:
The second and third entries are our ISP's DNS servers.
The problem is that while everything works, DNS resolution is absurdly slow for internet sites. Using GRC's DNSBench.exe, uncached requests to 192.168.1.2 are taking 3849 ms! Connecting to our ISP's DNS servers directly takes about 100 ms for the same uncached requests.
Thanks for any help - I really don't know what I'm doing here. Hah.

I seemed to have hit quite interesting problem recently while investigating my previous problem -- One ColumnFamily places data on only 3 out of 4 nodes
We had a very long row with over 800.000 columns in it. It stored user details; one column per one user's details. Not getting in reasons behind this kind of designs, according to documentation this should be fine, however we were having massive performance problems.
It seemed as the whole row was cache by the operating system cache and Cassandra -- because it was fairly often used row -- was spending most of the CPU time on serialising the row in order to get data out of it (even though the applications queries were about specific column within the row).
First thing I did was enabling row-cache on the ColumnFamily which stored this row. This seemed to have instantly solved the high CPU usage problem and solved performance problems... Until first scheduled manual repair.
At some point during manual repair (replicable; it was happening every single time I tried running manual repair), node was loosing contact with other nodes (and vice-versa!) and all affected nodes (usually two out of four) were reporting that heap is almost full (Heap is 0.9977127109734825 full...). Affected nodes were simply dying (as in, Cassandra, not the host itself).
We have solved the root problem -- changed the way we store data within the problematic ColumnFamily, however I still don't understand why I was getting into those problems and would appreciate if someone could shed some light as to potential source of the problem?
Was there anything really bad about what we did?
We are using 0.8.7, over 4 nodes cluster with RF=3. Heap is set to 16GB and those are 48GB boxes.

The owner of a small cinema in Italy is going through the figures for
the most recent blockbusters in his town and is irritated to see that
the advertising space for the new Iranian film showing at his cinema
(Close-Up) is significantly smaller than that of American films. He
tries to promote the smaller works at every chance he gets but will it
ever be able to compete with the Lion king?
I wasn't sure what this film was about as I listen to the words 'The Lion King' followed by a number said over and over again but gradually I got the point and, while it was hardly a good film, it certainly makes a very simple point in a very simple way. The point is how can cinema generally compete with the advertising campaigns and popularity of American blockbusters. It is a very European point to make but it is one that I, if I drop the 'American', can agree with. How many times have we all said 'I wish more people would see this' but accept that it is a small film (or my bugbear a short film) that few other will ever come across far yet be bothered by. We can see it on this site people will post about a blockbuster and everyone will have seen it, but make a post about an award winning foreign film or even some classics and you'll get few replies.
Of course this is the way of the world and it is unfair to complain that people watch what they want to watch but it is still a point worth making. Wisely Moretti avoids having a rant but merely lets the numbers speak for themselves over the fade to black; his only weakness is that he overeggs how good this film is where really he could have accepted in his film that Close-Up is as good as the blockbusters and deserves the same chance, rather than making it out to be better than those films. As a director I must say that the film was given a very TV feel by Moretti and it looked a bit cheap; I'm not sure if his films have this look as well but it didn't impress me one bit.
Overall this is an interesting short that makes a good point without overdoing it too much. It is a very European film and I'm sure many will miss the point or just disagree with it altogether (so what if I like action movies over an Iranian art movie?) but it is a fair point. Not a great short film but OK the simple point and the cheap look of the short put me off a bit, but it was worth me seeing it once.

This application is a continuation-in-part of copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 7/164,364, filed Mar. 4, 1988, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,860,923, entitled Postmix Juice Dispensing System, by Jonathan Kirschner, Kenneth G. Smazik, and Gary V. Paisley, and assigned to the same assignee as the present application, which was in turn a continuation-in-part of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/137,307, filed Dec. 23, 1987, entitled Postmix Juice Dispensing System, by Jonathan Kirschner, Kenneth G. Smazik, and Gary V. Paisley, and assigned to the same assignee as the present application, which was in turn a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 06/924,381, filed Oct. 29, 1986, with the same title, inventors and assignee, and now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to juice dispensing and in a preferred embodiment to a bag-in-tank concentrate system for dispensing orange juice from 5 + 1 concentrate at a temperature as low as about -10� F.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Postmix orange juice dispensing systems are known. Orange juice concentrate is distributed frozen. Restaurants remove concentrate from the freezer and thaw the concentrate in a cooler prior to dispensing. The restaurant has to estimate its juice requirements at least two days in advance and place sufficient concentrate in its cooler. If the restaurant's estimates are incorrect or if someone forgets, the restaurant will run out of thawed concentrate. Also, there is often a limited amount of cooler space available for thawing orange juice concentrate. When a restaurant runs out of thawed concentrate, measures are sometimes taken to quickly thaw frozen concentrate and such measures often are inefficient and ineffective and also sometimes affect the taste of the resulting product. Orange juice concentrate has typically been 3 + 1 concentrate. The present invention is useful preferably with 5 + 1 concentrate, although it can be used with any desired ratio up to about 7.5 +1. The reduced amount of water in 5 + 1 concentrate prevents a phase change or freezing, at typical freezer temperatures of -10� F. to 0� F. The 5 + 1 concentrate at freezer temperatures does not readily flow by gravity. A container of 0� F. product can be inverted and no product will flow out. Also, the product is so thick that a pump's suction cannot pull product from the container. However, the product is still pliable.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a postmix juice dispensing system for use with flowable concentrate at freezer temperatures in which the concentrate is contained in a flexible bag which is then placed in a pressurizable vessel which is pressurized to about 40 psig to force the concentrate out of the bag.
A postmix juice dispensing system for dispensing concentrate (preferably 5 + 1 concentrate) at freezer temperatures from a flexible bag including placing the bag in a rigid, pressurizable container, and pressurizing the container to force concentrate out of the bag. The concentrate bag preferably incorporates a dip tube or dip strip with slots larger than the pulp in the concentrate and with an internal cross-sectional area much greater than that of the slots to facilitate flowing of the concentrate and to reduce pressure drops. The tube prevents the bag from blocking the internal passageway therethrough. Concentrate emerging from the bag can be as cold as -10� F.
The system includes under-the-counter modules that can include a canister cabinet, a water bath and a refrigeration unit. The canister cabinet supports the pressurizable concentrate canister in a water bath to maintain the concentrate below 40� F. The concentrate flows out of the concentrate bag through a heat exchange coil also located in the water bath to heat up the concentrate so it will flow more easily. The potable water line includes a heat exchange coil in a cold water bath to chill the potable water to be used in the dispenser. The concentrate is delivered in a flexible, plastic bag which in turn is inside of a box, such as a cardboard box. The bag is removed from the box and placed in a carrier which slidably fits inside of the canister. The carrier (with the bag therein) is then slid into the canister and the lid to the canister is closed and locked. This also causes the bag spout and valve to mate with a connector in the canister and to open the bag valve.

FIG. 31 is a view similar to FIG. 30 but showing the carrier and bag fully inserted into the canister and the bag valve open.
With reference now to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows a postmix juice dispensing system 10 for dispensing a finished juice beverage from a nozzle 12 of a mixing chamber 16 into a cup 14. The system 10 feeds water and juice concentrate, in a desired ratio, for example, 5 parts of water to 1 part of concentrate, into a mixing chamber 16 wherein complete mixing of the concentrate and water takes place.
The water is fed through a water conduit 18 to a metering device 20 and then to the mixing chamber 16.
The concentrate is contained in a concentrate bag 30 at freezer temperatures of about -10� F. to about 0� F. The bag 30 is preferably a nonreturnable, flexible bag. The bag 30 is removed from a freezer and placed in a rigid, pressurizable canister 32 which is then pressurized by a pressure source (such as a C02 or compressed air cylinder 34) and a pressure regulator 36. The pressure forces the concentrate, which is not frozen (it has not undergone a phase change) because of its low water content but which is pliable, through a concentrate conduit 38 to a heat exchanger 40, then to the metering device 20, and then to the mixing chamber 16.
This design allows dispensing of a 5 + 1 concentrate at freezer temperatures. The pliable concentrate is preferably contained in a flexible bag 30, shipped in a cylindrical container 41 (see FIG. 4) to facilitate insertion of the bag 30 into the cylindrical canister 32. The restaurant simply inserts the frozen bag 30 directly from the freezer into the canister 32, without requiring any thawing.
FIG. 5 is a partial view of the bag 30 showing a dip tube or strip 42 connected to a spout 43. The dip strip 42 includes a central passageway 44 and a plurality of openings 46 into the passageway 44. The openings 46 are of a size sufficiently large to allow pulp to pass into the passageway 44 while preventing the bag from entering into and blocking the passageway 44. The larger cross-sectional area of the passageway 44 facilitates flowing of the concentrate and reduces pressure drops due to friction.
The canister 32 is shown in more detail in FIG. 6 and includes a removable lid 48 that hermetically seals to the wall 49 of the canister. The lid 48 includes a fitting 50 for pressurizing the canister 32 (with C02 or air, for example) and a concentrate fitting 52 for connecting the spout 43 of the bag 30 to the concentrate conduit 38.
As stated above, the concentrate in the bag 30 is preferably 5 + 1 concentrate. The canister is preferably pressurized to about 40 psig. This pressure forces the concentrate out of the bag to the heat exchanger 40 and then to the metering device 20 and finally to the mixing chamber 16.
The heat exchanger 40 includes a heat source 60 and can be any known type of heat exchanger and heat source The heat exchanger preferably elevates the temperature of the concentrate to about 32� F. to 40� F. The heat source 60 can be a thermostatically controlled electrical heating element.
The metering device 20 (which can be any known type of metering device) provides the proper portioning of the water and orange juice concentrate. The device 20 can use two connected double-acting pistons in a volumetric piston pump for each of the water and concentrate conduits. The ratio of the volume of the water chambers to the concentrate chambers is the same as the desired mixture ratio, such as, for example 5:1 (water to concentrate). The water pistons can be connected to the concentrate pistons so that the pressurized water can be used to operate both pumps.
The system of FIG. 1 also includes a solenoid on-off valve 19 in the water line, operated by a microcontroller 64. When it is desired to dispense a drink, for example, when a cup 14 engages a lever 15, the microcontroller 64 causes the valve 19 to open, and when dispensing is completed, it closes the valve 19.
In addition, the microcontroller 64 also operates the inlet and outlet valves for the water and concentrate to and from the metering device 20, in response, for example, to sensed positions of the pistons. Volumetric piston pumps are well-known and thus need not be described in detail here.
FIG. 2 shows a preferred embodiment of the system of FIG. 1 in which a recirculating water conduit 59 is in heat exchange relationships to the concentrate conduit 38, in addition to the use of separate heat source 60. The water conduit 59 can be a recirculating soda water line available in the restaurant, for example. The heat source 60 prevents the water from freezing.
In addition, FIG. 2 shows a particular metering device 20 which can be used. FIG. 2 shows a water pump 65 with two connected pistons, connected in turn to two connected pistons of a concentrate pump 66. A water control valve 67 of the water pump is mechanically operated by a linkage 68 connected to a reciprocating shaft 69 connecting to the two water pistons. Inlet and outlet valves 70 of the concentrate pump 66 are preferably controlled by the microcontroller 64 in response to sensed positions of the concentrate pistons. In FIG. 1, the sensing of the positions of the pistons is shown at 62, and the control of the inlet and outlet valves at 61.
FIG. 3 shows an alternative means for metering the water and the orange juice concentrate. This means includes a flow meter 80 in the water conduit 18 for measuring the water flow rate; electrical pulses whose period is proportional to the water flow rate are inputted into a microcontroller 82. A volumetric pump 84 meters the concentrate through the concentrate conduit 38. The concentrate pump 84 incorporates two chambers 86 and 87 with connected pistons 88 and 89. Each piston stroke finds one piston expelling a fixed volume of concentrate while the attached chamber is filling with concentrate. A motor 90 moves the pistons 88 and 89. The motor speed can be fixed. The water flow rate is controlled by means of a variable size orifice in a motorized control valve 92 operated by a DC stepping motor 94. The microcontroller 82 controls the motor 94 to regulate the water flow rate.
Alternatively, the motor 90 can be adjustable with the microcontroller 82 regulating the speed of the motor 90 to control the concentrate flow rate depending on the water flow rate as measured by the flow meter 80, to control the mixture ratio. The microcontroller 82 can also control both the motor 90 and the control valve 92.
FIG. 7 shows another embodiment of the present invention of a dispensing system 100 in which the concentrate is fed to a vented reservoir 102. FIG. 7 shows a water conduit 104 connected to a mixing chamber 103 and having a water flow meter 105, a motorized control valve 106 operated by a D.C. stepping motor 108, and a solenoid controlled on-off valve 110.
FIG. 7 also shows a concentrate conduit 114 which feeds pliable concentrate from a flexible container 116 in a pressurized canister 118, through a heat exchanger 120 (including a heat source 99 and a recirculating soda water line 101), through a solenoid controlled on-off valve 122, to the reservoir 102. The reservoir 102 includes high add low level indicators 126 and 128, respectively, connected to a microcontroller 130, which opens and closes the on-off valve 122 in response to signals from the level indicators. A concentrate conduit 132 extends from the reservoir 102 to a flexible vane pump 134 (or a gerotor pump, for example), and then to the mixing chamber 103 where it mixes with the water to form a final beverage which is dispensed from a nozzle 136 into a cup 138.
In addition to the microcontroller 130 controlling the level of concentrate in the reservoir 102, it also controls the speed of a D.C. motor 140 with encoder 142 to control the concentrate flow rate, and it controls the water flow rate by controlling the motorized water control valve 106 in response to signals from the water flow meter 105. The microcontroller 130 also controls a solenoid controlled, water on-off valve 110 in response to actuation of the dispensing system 100, such as by the cup 138 engaging a lever arm 152.
With reference now to FIGS. 8-22 of the drawings, FIG. 8 shows the preferred juice dispenser 210 of the present invention including a narrow countertop housing 212, a water feed system, a juice concentrate feed system, a juice concentrate reservoir 214, a static mixer 216, a magnetic mixer 218, a nozzle 220, and a drip tray 222 for supporting a cup 240. The width of the housing 212 is preferably 3 3/4 inches, although it can vary from about 3 1/4 inches to about 5 inches. FIG. 8A is a partial front view of the selection panel 243 of the dispenser 210 including small, medium, large, and pour/cancel buttons 244, 245, 246 and 247 respectively.
FIGS. 9-18 show the details of various components in the housing 212, FIGS. 19-21 show the details of the under-the-counter components, FIG. 22 is an electrical circuit diagram showing the electrical operation of the dispenser 210, and FIG. 23 shows details of the poppet valve and check valve used in the dispenser of FIG. 8.
Referring now to FIG. 8, the juice concentrate feed system includes a concentrate inlet conduit 224 that feeds into a shut-off valve 226, and a concentrate line 228 from the shut-off valve to the reservoir 214. A liquid level control system including three probes 230 (high level, low level and ground) controls the concentrate level in the reservoir 214. A vent line 215 vents the reservoir 214 to atmosphere. Concentrate is fed from the reservoir 214 through a discharge line 232 by means of a motor 234 and pump 236 to a mixing line 238 where it begins to mix with the water, then to the mixers 216 and 218 and finally to the nozzle 220 from which the mixture is dispensed into a cup 223.
The concentrate side of the shut-off valve 226 simply maintains a proper supply of concentrate in the reservoir. That is, when the level drops to a first predetermined lower level, the shut-off valve opens and feeds more concentrate to the reservoir until the level rises to a second predetermined higher level, when the shut-off valve again closes.
The concentrate in the reservoir is maintained at a desired chilled temperature by means of cooling coils 242 which are preferably in contact with the outside surface of the reservoir and which carry chilled water from a refrigeration system (not shown in FIG. 8).
The water feed system includes a water inlet conduit 250 that feeds to both a water flow meter 252 and to the shut-off valve 226. The water path to the shut-off valve 226 is used for cleaning and flushing the reservoir, while the water path to the flow meter 252 is the water to be mixed with the juice concentrate to produce the beverage.
Referring first to the flushing path, when it is desired to clean the reservoir, such as at the end of each day, the shut-off valve opens the water side and water flows through a water flush line 254 to a spray nozzle 256 to spray the entire insides of the reservoir. At the same time, the motor 234 turns on and drives the pump 236 to discharge the contents of the reservoir through the mixing line 238, the mixers 216 and 218, and the nozzle 220 cleaning this entire assembly of any juice concentrate.
Referring now to the potable water flow, the water flows into the flow meter 252, from the flow meter to a water shut-off solenoid valve 253, to a flow control valve 258 through a line 260, and from the flow control valve 258 through a discharge line 262 to connect to the mixing line 238 just upstream from the mixers 216 and 218 and the nozzle 220. Any suitable available flow meter can be used for the flow meter 252, such as a paddle wheel flow meter.
The flow control valve 258 is shown in detail in FIGS. 9-11, and includes a body 270 having an inlet 272, an outlet 274, a chamber 276, and a control element 278. The control element 278 includes a solenoid 280 having an armature 282 that, when energized, moves a valve 284 from its closed position (FIG. 10) to its open position (FIG. 11) against a spring 286. An annular plug 288 forms a wall across the chamber 276 and has a flow opening 290 therethrough in which the valve 284 moves. A diaphragm 292 provides a seal for the chamber 276. The inlet 272 communicates with an annular groove 294 around the plug 288 and through a plurality of radial passages 296 to the interior volume 298 adjacent the opening 290. When the solenoid 280 is energized, water can flow through the flow control valve 258.
The flow meter 252 can be any known flow meter to provide an electrical signal corresponding to the volume of water flowing therethrough.
The shut-off valve 226 is shown in detail in FIGS. 12-15 and includes a body 300 and has a water side 302 and a concentrate side 304. The water side includes an inlet passageway 306, a valve seat 308, an outlet passageway 310, a solenoid 312, and an armature valve 314. FIG. 14 shows the water side closed; when the solenoid 312 is energized, the valve 314 moves up off the valve seat and opens the water line.
The concentrate side of the shut-off valve 226 includes a concentrate inlet passage 316, a concentrate outlet passage 318, a valve seat 320, a diaphragm 322 for opening and closing the concentrate line by moving against or away from the valve seat 320, and a solenoid 324 having a fitting 326 for a pressurized air line and having a vent hole 330. When the solenoid is de-energized, pressurized air pushes against the diaphragm 322 holding it closed. Upon energization the solenoid closes off the air line and vents the air pressure chamber 332 below the diaphragm to atmosphere, allowing the concentrate pressure to move the diaphragm down and open the passage so concentrate can now flow through the shut-off valve 226.
The static and magnetic mixers are shown in FIGS. 16-18. The static mixer 216 includes a plurality of circumferentially staggered slot in each of which an insert 342 is placed to partially block the flow. Thus, the water and concentrate must follow a zig-zag, circuitous path which greatly aids thorough mixing.
The magnetic mixer 218 includes a series of magnets surrounding the mixing line 238. Inside the line 238 is a magnetic rotor 344 rotably mounted between two stationary rings 346 and 348 each having four blades; the blades in the second ring are positioned at 45� to the blades in the first ring. This combination of mixers assures complete and thorough mixing.
The nozzle 220 is located directly below the magnetic mixer 218.
All of the equipment described above goes on a countertop. The portion of the juice dispenser 210 that goes below a counter will now be described with reference to FIGS. 19-21. In the preferred embodiment, the under-the-counter equipment comprises three separate modules: a canister cabinet 360, a water bath 362 and a refrigeration unit 364.
Referring to FIG. 19, the canister cabinet 360 includes a housing 366, a pressurizable canister 368, a heat exchange coil 370, a concentrate outlet fitting 372, a cooling water-in fitting 374, and an overflow opening 376. A collapsible bag 378 of juice preferably 5+1 juice at freezer temperature (about 37� F.) is shipped in a cardboard box 380, preferably hexagonal in shape. The bag 378 has a bag fitting 382 that mates with a canister fitting 384 when the bag and box are inserted into the canister 368. The canister 368 includes a removable lid 386 that seals to the canister 368. The lid includes a pressurized air hose connector 388 for an air hose 390. The hose includes a T-fitting for a hose 392 that connects to the fitting 326 on the shut-off valve 226 in the dispenser 210.
In operation, the lid 386 is unlocked and removed, a box 380 and bag 378 are inserted into the canister and the lid is replaced and locked and sealed. The inside of the canister is pressurized by air to a desired pressure of about 45 psig. The 5+1 concentrate can thus be pushed out through the coil 370 where it is heated to about 40� F. and flows more freely. The concentrate flows through a concentrate line 394 to the dispenser 210. The housing 366 receives water from the cooling coils 242 that surround the concentrate reservoir 214 in the dispenser 210.
Referring to FIG. 20, the water bath includes a tank 400, evaporator coil 402 for forming an ice bank 404, a pair of agitators 406, and a series of potable water coils 408 on the tank bottom having an inlet fitting 410 and an outlet fitting 412. The water line carrying the water to be used in the dispenser 210 is connected to the inlet fitting 410. The water inlet conduit 250 (FIG. 8) is connected to the outlet fitting 412.
Referring to FIG. 21, the refrigeration unit 364 includes a housing 420, a compressor 422, a condenser coil 424, and a pump 426. The evaporator coil 402 in the water bath is part of and is connected to the refrigeration unit 364. The refrigeration unit simply holds the refrigeration equipment, plus the pump 426.
FIG. 22 is an electric circuit diagram showing the electrical operation of the dispenser 210.
The dispenser, 210 of FIG. 8 has been designed with flexibility as a primary goal. The dispenser 210 is capable of accurately dispensing various juices at ratios in the range of from about 2.5:1 to 7.5:1 and at rates to 3 ounces per second. Many smart features are incorporated into the electronics to improve functionality including the `Teach` function which allows the machine to interactively learn various portion sizes; these sizes are then stored in non-volatile random access memory and used for automatic portion dispensing.
Following are the major electro-mechanical system components:
Concentrate solenoid valve 324.
Concentrate level probes 230.
Concentrate pump motor 236 with high resolution
encoder 235.
Flush solenoid valve 312.
Water flowmeter 252.
Water shut-off solenoid valve 253.
Water modulating solenoid valve 280.
Dynamic juice mixer 218.
Following are the major electronic system components:
Dual voltage remote DC power supply 432.
Bi-Directional RS-232C serial communications port.
Primary and secondary functions operator
keypads 243 and 434.
Electronics 430 including a printed circuit board consisting of:
an Intel 8052 series 8-bit microcontroller
an Intel 8254 counter/timer IC
non-volatile, static random access memory (SRAM).
erasable, programmable, read only memory (EPROM) for program storage
a watch-dog circuit to reset the processor
RS-232C transmitter and receiver opto-isolated from the processor
input signal conditioning circuitry for the level probes, the concentrate encoder and the water flowmeter
opto-isolated output driver circuitry for the concentrate pump motor, and the concentrate, flush, water modulating and shut-off solenoids.
There are two process control closed loops, the concentrate and water loops. Pump motor operation is initiated and concentrate flow rate is determined by monitoring the high resolution encoder and using this feedback to achieve the desired flow rate in a classic interactive closed loop control. Similarly the water shut-off and modulating solenoids initiate flow and the water flowmeter feeds back rate information in an interactive process that is used to achieve the desired flow rate. Upon initialization the processor reads the mixture ratio and water flowmeter calibration switches on the circuit board and knowing the programmed rate for each of the selected portion sizes performs a calculation to determine the number of water flowmeter counts per unit time that is necessary to achieve the desired flow rate. This number then becomes the target feedback that the water closed loop control is proportionately adjusted to achieve when the actual differs from the calculated. The concentrate encoder counts per unit time are calculated and utilized in much the same manner except that in the present configuration calibration switches, to correct for variations from one pump to the next, have not been incorporated.
Rates are controlled to continually achieve not only the correct mixture ratio but also to provide other beneficial features e.g., a slow ramp up at dispense initiation is necessary to reduce cup upsets then high speed dispensing proceeds to reduce dispense time and just prior to cycle termination the flow rate is ramped down to reduce foaming and spillage.
Monitoring the two process loops also helps the processor detect anomalies in one that can be compensated for in the other e.g., a low water flow rate caused by low line pressure or a partially plugged line results in a proportionate decrease in the concentrate flow rate to maintain the pre-set ratio and vice versa. The processor then flashes the dual function `Low reservoir` LED (light emitting diode) at a steady rate to indicate the low flow condition.
The flow monitors by their very nature also provide information on the volume of fluids dispensed which is used by the `Teach` feature to provide portion size dispensing. Depressing the `Teach` key initiates this special mode, then a portion size key is pressed to indicate to the microprocessor that it will be "taught" the size of a `Small`, `Medium` or `Large` drink; the `Pour/Cancel` key is pressed and held pressed which causes the machine to dispense product at the correct pre-set mixture ratio while the microprocessor is totalizing the quantity of each fluid dispensed. When the `Pour/Cancel` key is released the microprocessor remembers the totalized quantities of concentrate and water dispensed and will reproduce those quantities whenever that portion size key is pressed again.
Inventory management and diagnostic information is provided by the flow sensors and by the ability of the processor's firmware to monitor inputs and control outputs including:
Number of each of the various portion sizes of
drinks dispensed.
Volume of each portion size.
Total amount of concentrate used.
Total amount of water used.
Water to concentrate ratio.
Size of last drink dispensed.
Volume of concentrate in last drink.
Volume of water in last drink.
Total time to dispense last drink.
Number of manual pours.
Volume dispensed via manual pours.
Water flow meter calibration.
Pump status.
Reservoir level status.
Flow rate status.
Status of solenoids.
The above information is saved on-board in non-volatile static random access memory and can be monitored asynchronously as desired through the serial port. The serial port can also be used to change default parameters in memory to fine-tune the process, if so desired.
The electronics 430 is preferably mounted in the dispenser 210 behind a front panel 480 that is hingedly connected at 482 to swing up and expose a circuit board 484 and make the panel holding the "Teach" button, for example, accessible.
FIG. 23 shows the pump 236 in more detail. The pump is preferably a gerotor pump driven by the motor 234 and including a gear box 460 and the encoder 235. It is preferred to flush the mixing line 238 and the mixers 216 and 218 once a day with potable water from the line 260. However, because the mixers 216 and 218 are restrictions in the line, the water pressure could cause this flushing water to back up through the pump 236 and dilute the concentrate in the reservoir 214. A duckbilled check valve 462 at the outlet of the pump 236 prevents this from occurring.
In addition, to prevent any concentrate from dripping from the pump 236, a spring loaded poppet valve 464 is located at the outlet from the pump and just upstream from the check valve 462. The poppet valve 464 includes a spring 466, a diaphragm 468, a piston 470, a poppet 472, and a valve seat 474. When the pump 236 is operating, the concentrate will flow easily through the poppet valve 464 and check valve 462, however, when the pump is not operating the poppet valve will close and prevent any drippage of concentrate out of the gerotor pump 236.
FIGS. 24, 25 and 27-31 show a preferred bag-in-tank concentrate system 500 for use in the postmix dispensing system 210. This system 500 includes a carrier 502 that slides into and out of the canister 368. The canister has a key 504 and the carrier has two slots 506 which cooperate to properly orient the carrier in the canister. The carrier holds a concentrate bag 508 therein. The bag and the carrier have mating shapes to properly orient the bag outlet fitting 382 so it mates with the canister fitting 384. The bag 508 has two lower angled sides that mate with two similarly angled support walls 510 in the carrier. The outlet fitting 382 of the bag inserted through the hole 512 in the carrier and is then pushed down to lock it to the carrier. Thus, when the carrier is pushed all the way into the canister, it carries the bag and the outlet fitting 372 with it and into mating connection with the bag fitting 382.
FIGS. 27-29 show various dipstrips 514, 516 and 518, respectively, inside the bag 508, for getting all of the concentrate out of the bag.
FIGS. 30 and 31 show the carrier and bag moving into the canister and fully inserted into the canister, respectively.
While it is preferred to remove the bag 508 from the box in which it is shipped, the entire box and the bag can alternatively be placed into the carrier.
While it is important for the carrier to be properly oriented in the canister, it is not so important for the bag as long as the outlet fitting 372 is locked in the proper position to the carrier.
FIG. 26 shows another embodiment of the invention wherein the bag 520 (or the box in which the bag is shipped) is properly oriented in the canister, such as by a corner 522 of the box sliding in a v-shaped keyway 524 to properly orient the outlet fitting 372 to mate with the canister fitting 384.
While the preferred embodiment of this invention has been described 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 as set forth in the appended claims. For example, this invention can be used with various juices other than the preferred orange juice. Also, the juice can be thawed juice, such as thawed 3+1 juice; that is, this invention is not limited to use with pliable 5+1 concentrate at freezer temperatures. Also, the preferred temperature ranges are only preferred, other freezer temperatures below 32� F. can be used, and the heat exchanger can raise the temperature to any desired temperature above 32� F. Also, the heat exchanger can include a water conduit, such as a recirculating soda water line that is available in the restaurant, in heat exchange relationship thereto. Other arrangements for the under-the-counter units can be used, for example, there can be just one water bath rather than two, if desired. There can be one, two, or three separate modules depending on what is desired and on what equipment is already present in the restaurant.

Gregory Medavoy was a fictional character (as well as a protagonist) in the television series NYPD Blue. He was played by Gordon Clapp from the 3rd episode of the 1st season to the 2nd to last episode of the series, when he retired. Aside from squadmate Andy Sipowicz, he was the longest running regular character in the series.
Often on the receiving end of jokes about his bumbling speech, Medavoy often provided viewers with comic relief for the series' duration. Despite his faults, he turned out to be a skilled detective who earned respect through his tenacity and inventiveness, though the other cops did continue to treat him with some contempt due to his tendency to drone on about arcane subjects and his general eagerness to be liked.
Initially, he was unhappily married to a nagging woman by the name of Marie, whom he caught cheating on him. He had an affair with Donna Abandando, the squad receptionist, and Medavoy's existing marriage made the relationship difficult. Finally, after the pressure was too much for Abandando to cope, she ended things with Greg, who tried to return to his marriage. This failed, and he was attracted to coworker Abby Sullivan - who revealed that she was a lesbian. He fathered her child through artificial insemination.
In Season 7, Medavoy was partnered with Baldwin Jones, a strong and likable new detective. The two soon grew a friendship that was tested by Greg's neuroses and the younger Baldwin's irritation over them, but survived. Medavoy also overcame a witch hunt against him by new Lt. Bale, who tried to wreck Greg's career after learning he was working in a part-time job at a bar, which is not allowed. After a short suspension, he upbraided Bale's autocratic ways and called him a bully and a coward. Greg carried himself with a noticeable increase in confidence afterwards.
In the final few episodes, Medavoy retired in order to join the real estate business with his new girlfriend Bridget, whom he'd met on a fraud case. At his retirement party, Greg expressed his love for both the job and his coworkers. The toast made was the traditional NYPD toast "to the guy that invented this job".
