problem with my Brinkmann
carguy54November 23, 2006
I have a Brinkmann Pro Series 2500. It's about 3 years old. The side burner flame is almost pure orange and blackens any pot or pan you use. Brinkmann sent me a new valve but no change. There doesn't appear to be an adjustment for air/fuel mixture. This started about a year ago. I've taken the burner apart and found nothing unusual.
it's not getting enough air .... that's the only thing it can be ..... if anything is blocking the airway (even a spiderweb) it will do that ... sometimes they put a bolt that disturbs the gasflow into the burner and if you want more air you screw it in ...... thers not too much it can be as you can see when taking it apart there not complex

using old grill for potting bench
Think I have seen pictures on this site of using an old grill for a potting bench. Neighbors placed on the street an old grill last night. I plan to use as a potting bench. Thought the side pieces would be wonderful to work on, and there are two metal racks under the bottom. Thought I would use the bin on top for cooking to put my compost soil for potting and would be easy enough to have the pots sitting on the side. Please give me ideas or where I can find pictures of what others of you have done to convert to potting bench. Thanking you in advance.
I used the frame for a grill, took off the grill itself and placed the back grill off a refrigerator on top as a workbench. It doesn't have anywhere to put the soil but there is a shelf at the bottom and the grill table top lets the spilled soil fall thru. It's easy to wash off and best of all it rolls around to where I want it. I love it. I need to replace a few boards on the bottom and it can use a paint job. Notice how the grill top has "handles" on the end opposite the wheels. Here's the pic.

This was our first trip to Big Bend, and I am so glad we stayed at Maverick Ranch. The park has a nice, open feel with large sites and level concrete pads. Many of the pull-through sites are arranged in alternating directions, which is perfect if you're traveling with someone else. Even if you're not, I thought the setup really encouraged socializing with your neighbors.
The views are beautiful from the RV park, and there are short hiking trails right next to the park. The staff was friendly and very attentive. Also, the resort restaurant across the street had good food and amazing views. We will stay here again when we come back. - RedRaider1993
Big rig friendly. Pullthrus. Freshwater swimming pool heated by solar. Cable is $2.00 extra and not availabe at all sites. Internet so-so. - Keith/Ruth
Lajitas is about an hour west of Big Bend National Park and about 20 minutes from Terlingua. Big Bend Ranch State Park entrance is only about 5 minutes away. Lajitas was bought by a resort so it really isn't a town. It has a couple of restaurants, boutique shops, general store, small gas station, and a golf course. Don't expect to find a grocery store nearby. We had a pretty large site since we were at the end of a row. The other spaces look large but you do share camping sides with your neighbor. The roads inside the park are wide an easy to maneuver. This is a dark night area so they ask all outside lights are turned off by 9pm.
Wifi was adequate. There is no ATT or Verizon, only roaming available.
The club house has a nice community room, tv area, and clean bathrooms. The swimming pool looked nice and clean but as it was december, we did not try it. The office staff is friendly and very helpful. The campers are also very friendly. The RV Park is clean and feels very open. There is not a lot of trees but it may get pretty hot in the summer. We did see a coyote and javelina while we were here.
We would stay here again. - LifeRebooted

NCLR Welcomes Defeat of House Farm Bill That Would Have Cut SNAPJune 20, 2013
Protecting millions of vulnerable families from losing food assistance, the House of Representatives today voted down the "Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013" (H.R. 1947), known as the farm bill, which included provisions that would have cut more than $20 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) over ten years. The House had also added a number of harmful amendments to the bill that would, among other restrictions, eliminate SNAP benefits that are unused after 60 days, allow states to require drug tests for food stamp beneficiaries and prevent certain convicted felons from ever receiving benefits. NCLR (National Council of La Raza) applauds the bipartisan vote to defeat this bill and prevent drastic cuts to a program that helps millions of Latinos overcome poverty and access sufficient food.

As Senate Takes Step Forward on Immigration Reform, House Takes Two Steps BackJune 19, 2013

A disturbing discovery in the parking lot of Clearview Regional High School in Mullica Hill has lead authorities to place the school on lockdown today.
Does your high school need a new field and at the end of this football season? You can help it win one!
A group of New Jersey high school wrestlers took a photo of themselves posing with a black, hanged dummy. It's an image that has circulated the web sparking allegations of racism and leaving some to wonder if the teens should be charged with a 'hate crime'.
It's Throwback Thursday. And why should we be the only ones who have to be embarrassed by crazy old high school photos. Oh noooo, we're getting the stars in on the action. Here are some of my recent unearthings.
A Gloucester Township high school was placed on short-term lockdown today following reports of a suspicious person in the woods behind the school.
As graduation season continues, we congratulate those who have reached their goals and move forward to the next chapter in their lives. Every now and then, however, you hear stories like this...
Who doesn't love a sequel?
The town of Pitman, N.J. got national exposure over the weekend when their high school's prom was featured on Good Morning America.

This is a new CBA and things can be altered, correct? So then why isn't it ok for the NHLPA to take the cap off the table? That is within their rights. The last CBA didn't say it had to carry over forever.
God help us if they do that, but at least the players are being reasonable and not doing it. They could though.
I'm also quite aware of the legal language that allows the contracts to be changed, but they were signed in good faith and just because that language allows them to legally do rollbacks, doesn't make it ethical.
You had an owner in Leipold in that room yesterday asking the players to give back money, after he just signed two guys to over 200m.
How much more disingenuous could he be?
The owners want their cutbacks now. Which is total ******** and propaganda. They can make adjustments with their RS system to help carry the teams supposedly losing money, for the next two years.
The problem is they don't want to take from their own pockets to fix their mistakes, they want to take from the players (again).
The big market teams who are making a killing under the cap will now get further cutbacks and their profits will grow exponentially. But somehow, asking them to help out their partners is wrong, while extorting more money from the players is ok. Its like bizzarro world that people are too blind to see the obvious here. Jesus.
Once again, I am not going to put my ethics aside because I badly want to see hockey.
It truly amazes me how people can justify what the owners are doing. Either they have ethical standards like the owners, or they just want hockey so badly, they throw reason out of the window.

Seniorgal Happy 91st Birthday!!!
ravencajun Zone 8b TXSeptember 13, 2013
I know it is on Friday the 13th but wanted to get an early start!
May all your wishes come true and have a great Birthday.
edit to add the band!
This post was edited by ravencajun on Fri, Sep 13, 13 at 13:38
Oh so sorry I missed the day, but I hope your birthday was happy and that you were well celebrated.
My mom just turned 96. She is as sharp as a tack, but she would not be able to post here and certainly not add a picture. She did watch some shows on the ipad, though, and managed to maneuver around that. On the other hand, there are any number of things that she can do that I cannot, such as make a nice flaky pastry.
Many happy returns of the day!

The percent Present metric can be a useful measure of assay and instrument performance. It describes the total number of transcripts detected (called Present) out of the total number of probe sets on a probe array.
Figure 2 illustrates the average percent Present for 12 HG-U133A arrays run on each scanner type at each external site. Error bars represent one standard deviation.
The GeneChip Scanner 3000 average percent Present is statistically different from the GeneArray 2500, with the GeneChip Scanner 3000 yielding a higher average percent Present call for probe arrays run at all sites (Figure 2, *). For probe arrays run at Site 4, the GeneArray 2500 yielded a noticeably lower percent Present when compared to the GeneChip Scanner 3000 at the same site and GeneArray 2500 scanners at other sites (Figure 2, *). While the percent Present metric of the GeneArray 2500 at Site 4 appears to be different than other GeneArray 2500 scanners, it is within Affymetrix specifications and is representative of the range of GeneArray 2500 scanner performance across Affymetrix customer sites.
False Change Comparisons
False Change is a metric used to characterize reproducibility of results when scanning the same target sample hybridized to different probe arrays of the same design. False Change is defined as the frequency of the sum of Increa

Twitter Is About To Blow Up Your Timeline With Photos
The social network introduces photo tagging and multiple photo posts. Yet another step away from the network's original 140-character vision.
Get ready for more photos in your Twitter timeline.
This afternoon, the social network introduced two new mobile features. The service is allowing users to include up to four photos in one tweet as well as including the ability to tag up to 10 people in a single photo. It's all part of Twitter's plan to increase user engagement by any means possible and to keep reeling users back in on a daily basis.
As we reported last week, in the new mobile update, Twitter appears to have killed the @reply for photo tagging, freeing up more characters for the text of a given tweet. Simply put, the service wants you to be able to tag — and thereby engage with — as many users as often as possible. In this line of thinking, every time your friends tag you in a photo, you get a notification, and come back into the service to check it. If this is all starting to sound a lot like Facebook, that's because it is.
Tagging photos also increases the Facebook-style social graph data that Twitter can collect on each user. As users tag photos inside tweets, Twitter will uncover new connections between users, which can be used for everything from suggesting users and content to more detailed ad profiles.
Just as important, the new feature represents yet another step away from the service's origins as a 140-character information stream. It's the fullest vision of Twitter as a multimedia firehose and the closest the service has come to looking like its biggest competitor. More than anything, it's definitive proof that Twitter's original infrastructure has all but faded into the background.
Updated — March 26, 5:55 p.m. ET: More (somewhat unrelated) tinkering!
An Android user has pointed out that Twitter is testing new language like "Share" instead of "Retweet" and "Comment" instead of "Quote." Good-bye, Twitter scaffolding!

1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to a teaching system comprising at least one, and preferably a plurality of computer stations having a computer device connected to a video monitor and which are controlled by an associated interface unit with all of the interface units in the system serially connected in a closed loop with a teacher controller device which conditions selected ones of the stations to operate in a selected mode with the controller displaying the selected mode to the teacher.
2. Description of Prior Art
Various computer teaching systems are known wherein a teacher station can condition various satellite student computer stations to operate in a selected mode. These student control stations may be in a classroom with the teacher control station, or the teacher control station may be physically located in a different room than the students. Also, some student stations could be located remotely from other student stations, but all controlled by the teacher control station. Such a system, for example, is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,538,993 issued on Sept. 3, 1985. In that particular system each student computer station is connected in parallel with other student computer stations and with a main switching console which connects into the teacher computer station. Also, the teacher station requires two video monitors, and namely, one to display transmitted information and one to display information received from various student stations.
A disadvantage of such a system is that it requires complex wiring and additional controller devices at each student station, thus resulting in an expensive and complicated system.
It is a feature of the present invention to provide a teaching system utilizing computers and which substantially overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art.
Another feature of the present invention is to provide a teaching system utilizing computers and wherein each of the student and teacher computer stations may be controlled by a teacher controller device which is serially connected with other interface units and which controls student and teacher stations by conditioning the interface units by a control network signal generated at the teacher controller and flowing through a closed loop interconnection of these interface units.
Another feature of the present invention is to provide a teaching system utilizing computers and which requires minimum wiring and control modules, thus making the system more affordable and easy to install.
Another feature of the present invention is to provide a teaching system utilizing computers and wherein the computer of any selected student or teacher station may operate as a source, in which case the monitor is still connected to the student or teacher computer, and wherein all of the video information in the computer or video monitor is available to any or selected monitors connected in the network, the selection being done by the control signal originating from the teacher controller.
Another feature of the present invention is to provide a teaching system utilizing computers and wherein the student and teacher stations are conditioned whereby its video monitor is disconnected from its computer (if one is provided) and becomes a receiver of video signals flowing in the closed loop network.
Another feature of the present invention is to provide a teaching system utilizing computers and wherein the student computer and teacher stations may be placed in an individual mode by the control signal where the computer and associated video monitor operates in the normal intended manner.
According to the broad features, from a broad aspect, the present invention provides a teaching system comprising a plurality of computer stations serially connected in a closed loop circuit. One of the stations is a teacher control station and the remaining stations are student computer stations. At least the student stations each comprises a computer device having an associated video monitor connected thereto via an interface unit. The teacher control station has a controller device connected between adjacent interface units of the teacher control station to transmit an information network signal in the loop circuit to condition all interface units to place its associated computer station to a preselected mode. A keyboard is associated with the controller device for selecting that mode. Visual indication means is also associated with the controller device to provide a visual indication at the control station of the selected mode. It is also pointed out that some of the student stations may not be provided with a computer.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the examples thereof as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the computer teaching system of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of one form of realization of the interface unit;
FIG. 3 is a further block diagram of one form of realization of the teacher control system; and
FIGS. 4A and 4C are detailed block diagrams of a slightly modified version of the interface unit of FIG. 2.
Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIG. 1, there is shown generally at 10 the computer teaching system of the present invention and comprising a teacher controller device 14 which is serially connected with a plurality of computer stations 9 in a closed loop circuit 15.
Each computer station 9a, 9b, 9c, 9d or 9e comprises a computer device 12 and a video monitor 11 interconnected to one another through an interface unit 13. The output 8 of the controller device 14 is connected to a first cable 15a of the closed loop circuit 15 to interconnect it with the input 13a of the interface unit 13 of the first computer station 9a. This station 9a or station 9e is selected as the teacher station. Of course, the controller 14 may be connected elsewhere in the loop between any two interface units. The output 13b of interface unit 13 connects through another cable section 15b to the input 13a of the next interface unit 13 associated with student computer station 9b. Such interconnection continues throughout the loop by other cable sections 15c, 15e and 15f, and back to the input 7 of the controller device 14. The purpose of the controller 14 is to select a mode of operation for selected ones or all of the computer stations 11 in the closed loop network 15, and this is done by the teacher keying in the mode on a controller keyboard 26. By selecting the mode of operation for selected ones of the computer stations, a control signal is transmitted in the closed loop circuit cable 15 comprising a series of binary coded signals, and conditions the interface units 13 to interconnect their respective computers 12 and video monitors 11 to the selected mode after the address of the interface unit matches with the binary coded signals.
Referring now to FIG. 2, there is shown a block diagram of an interface unit 13 constructed in accordance with the present invention. The information network signal at the input 13a of the interface unit includes a video signal, a control signal and a supply. The purpose of the control signal is to condition the associated computer stations, herein 9a, 9b, 9c, 9d, 9e, to a selected mode of three possible modes, and namely (a) an individual mode, (b) a source mode, and (c) a target mode. The condition of the circuit is effected by a coded signal which is recognized by various switching means, herein constituted by buffer devices, to place the interface circuit to the selected mode corresponding to the coded control signal. The buffer 20 acts as an amplifier and feeds the binary coded signals to a decoder 21 where part of the code is matched with an identification address selected from the address circuit 22. If the part of the code matches with the identification address selected in the address circuit 22, a control circuit 23 places the buffers 16, 18, 24 and 25 to their required state depending on the mode selected by the coded signal that matched.
In the individual mode (a) the video signal is fed to the buffer circuit 16 where the signal is amplified and fed directly to the output 13b where it is connected by cable section 15b to the next interface unit in the serially connected loop. In this mode the video signal from the computer 12, associated with the interface unit 13 and connected at the input 17 of the interface unit, is amplified in the buffer circuit 18 and fed directly to the video output connection 19 whereby the video signals coming from the computer 12 are displayed on the associated video monitor 11. Buffers 16 and 18 constitute a first and second buffer circuit for this unit. In this particular mode a third and fourth buffer, namely buffer 24 and 25, are placed in a nonconductive mode thus acting as a switch in an OFF condition.
When the binary coded signal is such as to place the selected computer station 9a to a source mode (b), the control circuit 23 turns off the first buffer circuit 16 and also the third buffer 25, and turns on the second and fourth buffers 18 and 24. Thus, in this source mode the video output screen connection 19 and the computer input 17 are connected directly to the closed loop network cable 15 through the buffers 18 and 24. In this particular mode the selected computer station can be accessed directly and all of its computer video signals flow in the closed loop network cable 15 for inspection by any selected station placed in the target mode (c).
When the binary coded signal is such as to place the selected computer station 9a in the target mode (c), the control circuit 23 turns off the second and fourth buffers 18 and 24, and turns on the first and third buffers 16 and 25. In this particular mode the computer associated with the computer station 13 is disconnected and cannot send its video output on screen 11. The video screen is controlled by the teacher controller through the direct circuit connection from input 13a through buffer 16 and buffer 25. The screen can thus receive the video signals from the closed loop network.
As previously described, the network information signal at input 13a also includes a supply voltage which is of 12-volt DC and which is fed to a voltage regulator 40 (by proper wiring, not shown) where it is converted to 5-volt DC and utilized to supply the various circuits in the interface unit. A converter 41 may also be provided at the output of the buffer 18 or 25 to convert the video signal to a video composite signal if screen 11 is a composite video screen.
Referring now to FIG. 3, there is shown a block diagram of the teacher controller 14. This controller controls all of the interface units 13 in the closed loop network. As herein shown, the teacher controller is provided with a controller control circuit 28 which is conditioned by the keyboard 26 to effect the selected mode of operation for selected ones or all of the computer stations 9 in the closed loop network. A visual display 27 is also provided to display the modes of the computer stations. A central processing unit (CPU) 29 is connected to a random access memory (RAM) circuit 33 and a read only memory (ROM) circuit 32, and processes information to provide the control signal selected by the controller control circuit 28 as instructed by the keyboard 26. A decoder circuit 31 is associated with the RAM and ROM circuits 33, 32 and the CPU 29 to provide the CPU access to selected parts of the program in the RAM and the ROM. A demultiplexer circuit 30 is also associated with the CPU 29 and the controller control circuit 28 and connects to a latch circuit 34 which feeds the control signal to a transmitter device 35 which is connected to the output 8 of the teacher controller 14. When one of the computer stations 9 is in source mode (b), and sends a video signal into the closed loop network, and this video signal arrives at the input 7 of the teacher controller 14, it is amplified by buffer 36 and sent in the closed loop network at the output 8 of the teacher conroller 14. When one of the interfaces 13 recognizes the control signal sent by the teacher controller 14, it executes the requested operation as previously described by matching with its address codes. For example, the teacher controller can select a particular one of the computer stations and place it into a source mode and at the same time select another one or more of the computer stations and place it into a target mode whereby the station in the target mode will receive the video signal from the computer station placed in the source mode. The visual display 27 of the teacher controller displays the selected computer stations and the others are placed in the individual mode where they cannot have access to the video signal in the network.
Referring now to FIGS. 4A to 4C, there is shown a specific preferred construction of the interface unit 13. As herein shown, when the interface unit 13 is in the individual mode (a), the video signal from the computer, connector 17, is fed to the buffer 44 and through gates 55, is fed to device 43 and then to the connector 19a which connects to the video screen 11. Also, the signals from the buffer 44 and from devices 43, herein comprised of gates 41a, 41b and 41c, are fed to transistor circuit 42 to obtain a composite video signal output on terminal 19B where a screen 11 could be connected if it is of the video composite type. Buffer 45 is in an OFF state when the computer is connected directly to the monitor in the individual mode (a).
The output of buffer 44 is also connected to buffer 45 which can be conditioned to conduct in either direction. It acts more or less as a bidirectional switching circuit. Buffers 46 and 47 correspond substantially to buffer circuit 16 in FIG. 2 to connect the video signal at terminal 13a directly to the output terminal 13b. If, for example, the interface unit is conditioned to operate in its source mode (b), which is a transmission mode, the video signals from its associated computer and present on the computer terminal connector 17 pass through buffer 44 and appear on the monitor output terminal 19A and 19B. Also, these video signals pass through buffer 45, which is conditioned to pass these signals, and through buffers 46 and 47 which are connected to connector 13b which is the output of the interface unit. Thus, the video signals from this interface unit are transmitted within the network cable 15.
If the interface unit is in its target mode (c) where it conditions its circuits to receive video signals from the station placed in source mode (b), the video signals at the input connector 13a will pass through buffers 46 and 47 and then to buffer 45, all of which are conditioned to conduct the signals, and towards the video monitor output connector 19A and 19B. The buffer 44 will of course be conditioned to be closed. It is pointed out that I.C. 48 is a serial parallel converter, thus acting as a decoder. The control signals are transmitted by the teacher controller 14 in series and these signals pass through buffer 49 which is equivalent to buffer 20 in FIG. 2. These control signals are then fed to decoder 48 and buffer 50. Decoder 48 will decode the serial binary code to convert the bits into parallel and feeds I.C. 51 at its output connections 48a and 48b. This latter I.C. 51 acts as a latch which maintains in memory the code, as it is only sent for a short period of time by the teacher controller 14. Thus, the interface unit must record the code and keep it in memory until another code is sent. Switches 52 and buffer 50 acts as switches to permit the selection of the number or the address code of the interface. There are five connections 53 between buffer 50 and switches 52 which provide for thirty-two different combinations. Therefore, it is possible to connect up to thirty-two different interface units, and associated computer stations in a closed loop network.
Buffer 50 permits the switching on of the interface unit when the teacher controller transmits an "all" stations individual mode (a) code. Thus, all interface units switch to their individual modes (a). Accordingly, it is not necessary for the controller to send up to thirty-two different codes to condition the interface units to respond to this specific mode code.
The three gates 55 interconnected between the buffers 44 and converter 54 are gates which are integrated circuits, and these are utilized as demultiplexers of the video signals in order to reduce power consumption in the circuit. If, for example, an video signal is represented by RGB, the three colors usually oscillate simultaneously. In this particular circuit arrangement only the G (green) gate 55b would oscillate and reduce power consumption when the video signal is sent in the closed loop network. On the other hand, the gates 41 act as multiplexer to regenerate the video signal before it is sent to connectors 19.
As previously mentioned, the information network signal includes a 12-volt DC supply voltage and it is applied to the input connections 56 to connect same to the voltage regulator 40 to provide a regulated 5-volt DC output supply at terminal 57 whereby to supply the various component circuits of the interface unit. This main supply voltage is also fed back to the closed loop network on output connections 58 associated with output connector 13b.
It is within the ambit of the present invention to cover any obvious modifications of the preferred embodiment described herein, provided such modifications fall within the scope of the appended claims.
