This invention pertains to a heating system for an oven, and more particularly to a gas power burner system for a commercial-size food preparation oven.
Typically, oven heating controls are either mechanical or electrical and during the cooking process generally provide a wide range of fluctuating temperatures between a peak temperature corresponding to the supplied gas flow rate and a lower temperature corresponding to a zero gas flow rate. Some ovens, rather than having a zero gas flow rate, have a minimal gas flow rate which supplies a very low temperature; however, the temperature is essentially ineffective for cooking purposes because of its low value. Regardless of whether the oven has a zero gas flow rate or a minimal gas flow rate, when food is placed in the oven and the desired cooking temperature set, gas is supplied under one flow rate to provide a cooking temperature within the oven. As the temperature in the oven approaches or exceeds the desired temperature, a temperature sensor in the oven will shut the gas flow off or decrease the gas flow to the minimal gas flow rate required. As the temperature in the oven then decreases and reaches a preset lower temperature, the sensor will again activate the flow of gas to permit the temperature to rise with preset cooking temperature limits. With such a heating system, it is apparent that food is cooked by a wide range of fluctuating temperatures due to the fact that the heating system supplies essentially only one effective gas flow rate.
Among the disadvantages of such prior art ovens is the inability to maintain a constant temperature in order to optimally cook the food since the temperature fluctuates within such a large range. Further, the control valve providing the flow of gas tends to prematurely fail due to the constant cycling between "on" and "off".
Directly related to the above problem is that none of these ovens, although they may incorporate a power burner, use a modulating gas flow control valve. Modulating valves have been used in the past, but only with atmospheric burners, such as in a stove surface burner.
Alternatives to the above heating systems that supply only one effective flow rate of gas have either been attempted without resulting in any measurable success, or ignored because of an assumption that such alternatives were impractical or unworkable. For example, it has generally been assumed that a mechanical modulating valve could not be used with a gas power burner because of excessive levels of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide resulting from combusting low flow rates of gas with excessive oxygen. It was assumed that such excessive levels of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide would occur upon decreasing the gas flow rate during combustion. In addition, such a system was assumed to burn inefficiently.
The present invention overcomes the above-described problems and disadvantages associated with the prior art heating systems by providing a gas power burner system that utilizes an electrically controlled on-off valve to supply a flow of gas to a mechanical modulating valve, which supplies to a gas power burner any one of a number of gas flow rates within a selected range of gas flow rates. Therefore, upon selecting a desired temperature for cooking food and energizing the gas power burner system of the present invention, as the cooking temperature within the oven approaches the desired value, the flow of gas is slowly decreased and then stabilized at a substantially constant flow rate corresponding to the selected cooking temperature.
The gas power burner system of the present invention eliminates the continuous cycling between "on" and "off" of the control valve supplying the flow of gas to the oven, thereby preventing its premature failure.
One of the unique features associated with the gas power burner system of the present invention is the discovery by the applicant of being able to decrease the flow rate of gas during combustion without creating unacceptable levels of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Properly adjusted, the gas power burner system may be so operated quite efficiently without causing any sour burning or combustion that might affect the taste of the cooked product.
Stated broadly, the present invention provides, in combination with a food preparation oven having an enclosure for heating food and an impeller device for circulating air in the enclosure, a gas power burner system comprising a gas power burner having a nozzle connected by a gas supply line to a source of combustible gas to be delivered through the nozzle, and a blower device for blowing a stream of air about to nozzle so as to form with the flow of gas a gas-air mixture which, upon combustion, supplies a heat source to heat the air circulated by the impeller device. Connected to the gas supply line between the nozzle and the source of gas is a modulating valve capable of being adjusted to vary the flow rate of gas within a selected range of gas flow rates. In order to provide the proper gas flow rate for the selected temperature, a temperature control device having a temperature sensor in the path of the air circulated by the impeller device, and which is controllably connected to the modulating valve, adjusts the modulating valve to maintain the flow of gas at a rate corresponding to the selected temperature. There is further provided a second valve for terminating or initiating the flow of gas to the modulating valve at the beginning or end of the cooking process, for example, daily.
It is an object of the present invention to provide in combination with a food preparation oven a gas power burner system having a gas power burner, an electrically controlled valve for terminating or initiating gas flow, and a mechanical modulating valve between the burner and electrically controlled valve for adjusting the gas flow to a rate corresponding to a selected cooking temperature in the oven.
The above mentioned and other features and objects of this invention, and the manner of attaining them, will become more apparent and the invention itself will be better understood by reference to the following description of an embodiment of the invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a broken-away top plan view of a food preparation oven incorporating a preferred embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a top plan view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a partly broken-away and sectional view of a mechanical modulating valve; and
FIG. 6 illustrates the electrical control circuitry of the food preparation oven of FIG. 1.
Referring to FIG. 1, a food preparation oven 10 is illustrated and comprises oven control section 12, heating chamber 14, impeller or fan 16, plenum 18, cooking chamber 20, and an incorporated embodiment of the present invention, gas power burner system 22. Fan 16 is operated by fan motor 24, and cooking chamber 20 has a plurality of horizontally disposed heat ducts 26, each of which has a plurality of orifices or jets 28 disposed therein.
The air within food preparation oven 10 is circulated by fan 16 through heating chamber 14, where the air is heated to a desired temperature, and then delivered to plenum 18 for subsequent passage to heat ducts 26. The heated air is then forced through jets 28 against a food product passed therealong. After the heated air has contacted the food product in cooking chamber 20, it is withdrawn by fan 16 back into heating chamber 14 to be reheated and subsequently recirculated to cook other food products.
A more detailed description of the structure and operation of a typical food preparation oven in which gas power burner system 22 may be used can be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,884,213 and 4,154,861; both of the patents being incorporated herein by reference.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, gas power burner system 22 is mounted within oven control section 12 in order to provide a heat source within heating chamber 14 and generally comprises gas power burner 30 including burner nozzle 32, burner 34, and air supply line 36 connected to a supply of air (not shown). Connecting gas power burner 30 to a source of gas (not shown) is gas supply line 38 having an electrically controlled on-off valve 40 coupled thereto for initiating and terminating gas flow to gas power burner 30. Mechanical modulating valve 42 is also coupled to gas supply line 38 between electrical on-off valve 40 and gas power burner 30 for varying the flow rate of gas to gas power burner 30.
Prior to continuing the description of gas power burner system 22, applicant wishes to distinguish gas power burner 30 utilized in gas power burner system 22 from those atmospheric burners commonly used in household ovens and the like. Some atmospheric burners utilize a modulating valve similar to mechanical modulating valve 42, however, the combustion process is entirely different from that of a gas power burner. Specifically, gas fed through a line to an atmospheric burner combusts upon mixing with the atmospheric air adjacent the burner orifice. The required mixing of the gas and air for combustion occurs in a natural manner unaided by external influences.
In contrast to the natural mixing of gas and air which occurs with atmospheric burners, gas power burner 30 forcibly mixes the gas with air by providing a large air flow rate about the nozzle through which the gas is delivered. A typical air flow rate of approximately 300 cubic feet per minute is supplied by gas power burner 30 to forcibly mix the gas and air, while at the same time causing combustion of the gas-air mixture to occur a substantial distance away from the gas power burner as compared to an atmospheric burner wherein combustion occurs substantially at the burner orifice. By forcibly mixing gas and air, the heat source developed by combustion tends to have an elongated teardrop shape, which is highly desirable for providing a heat source for an area similar to heating chamber 14.
Viewing FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4, gas, for example, natural gas, flows through gas line 38, nipple 43, elbow 44, and nipple 46 to control valve 48. Elbow 44 is connected to nipple 46 and control valve 48 by reducer bushing 50, and control valve 48 serves to filter and regulate gas flow to the pilot valve, main valve, spark control, and ignition control (not shown). Control valve 48 may be a control valve such as that manufactured by Johnson Controls, Inc., Watertown, Wis.
From control valve 48, the gas passes through nipple 52, elbow 54, nipple 56, elbow 58, and nipple 60 to union 62. Union 62 provides communication between nipple 60 and mechanical modulating valve 42 for the gas flow.
Referring now to FIG. 5, mechanical modulating valve 42 is illustrated and is a Robertshaw mechanical modulating valve, Model FDTH and is calibrated to supply a plurality of gas flow rates to gas power burner 30 corresponding to a temperature range of from about 300� F. to about 650� F. In addition, electrical control valve 48 has an electrical safety circuit, hereinafter more fully described, which shuts off the flow of gas to gas power burner 30 if the temperature within heating chamber 14 becomes excessive or if fan 16 is not rotating.
Mechanical modulating valve 42 has external housing 66 which is divided into pressure cavity 68 and gas activity 70 by stainless steel diaphragm 72. In communication with pressure cavity 68 via tube 74 is temperature bulb 76, which is disposed within plenum 18. Pressure cavity 68, tube 74, and temperature bulb 76 are filled with a fluid which expands or contacts when heated or cooled, respectively. For example, as the temperature increases in plenum 18, the fluid will expand in bulb 76, tube 74, and fluid cavity 68, thereby causing stainless steel diaphragm 72 to be moved to the right as viewed in FIG. 5. The reverse naturally occurs when the temperature decreases in plenum 18 causing the fluid to contract and stainless steel diaphragm 72 to move to the left. If desired, valve 42 could be of the electrically operated type.
Gas cavity 70 includes inlet chamber 78 and outlet chamber 80 which communicates with nipple 82 (FIGS. 3 and 4) through gas outlet 84. Inlet chamber 78 and outlet chamber 80 are in communication one with the other through opening 86 in housing 66. Gas inlet 88, which like gas outlet 84 is disposed in external housing 66, permits communication between union 62 and gas cavity 70. A second path of communication between inlet chamber 78 and outlet chamber 80, in addition to opening 86, is passage 90.
Gas flow control mechanism 92 is mounted within cavity 70 and controls the flow of gas from gas inlet chamber 78 through passage 90 and opening 86 into outlet chamber 80 and gas outlet 84. Gas flow control mechanism 92 comprises main lever arm 94 pivotably connected to pivot pin 96 and which has its end 98 connected to stationary tab 100 by compression spring 102, which exerts against end 98 a force toward tab 100, i.e., end 98 is biased in a direction toward tab 100. The opposite end 104 of main lever arm 94 has secondary lever arm 106 hingedly connected thereto by pivot pin 108. Lower portion 110 of secondary lever arm 106 is joined to protuberance 112 of throttle disc 114 seated in opening 86. When fully seated within opening 86, throttle disc 114 prevents communication between gas cavity 70 and outlet cavity 80 through opening 86.
Secondary lever arm upper portion 116, which is substantially parallel to main lever arm 94, is biased away from main lever arm 94 by expansion spring 118 disposed therebetween, which tends to move upper portion 116 toward the righthand side of FIG. 5. Projection 120 extends outwardly from upper portion 116 in a direction opposite expansion spring 118.
A third lever arm 122 is also hingedly connected to pivot pin 108 and comprises a bottom portion 124 and a top portion 126 joined together by spring 128 and flexible bent arm 130. Top portion 126 is joined to protuberance 132 of bypass disc 134 which seats within passage 90, and, upon being fully seated within passage 90, bypass disc 134 prevents communication between gas cavity 70 and outlet cavity 80 through passage 90. Projection 120 of secondary lever arm 106 is joined to or in contact with top portion 126.
Control disc 136 is mounted within stainless steel diaphragm 72 such that pressure cavity 68 remains sealed from gas cavity 70, and has protuberance 138, which is secured to the side of control disc 136 disposed in gas cavity 70 and joined to main lever arm 94 such that pivot pin 96 is between compression spring 102 and protuberance 138. Adjusting disc 140 is coupled to the opposite side of control disc 136 and has connected thereto adjusting screw 142 which is threadedly received through opening 144. The threaded engagement of adjusting screw in opening 144 is accomplished in a manner that prevents fluid from escaping gas cavity 70 through opening 144.
Gas flowing through gas outlet 84 then passes through nipple 82, elbow 146, nipple 148, and orifice holder 150. Thereafter, the gas is delivered through nozzle conduit 152 disposed in burner housing 154 to burner nozzle 32 in burner tube 158. The flow rate of gas through burner nozzle 32 may be varied between 40,000 BTU/HR.and 120,000 BTU/HR.
Mounted on and in communication with burner housing 154 is blower housing 160, which is of squirrel cage design. The fan is rotated by motor 164, which is secured by bracket 166 within oven control section 12. Controls for motor 164 are mounted in motor control box 168 connected to bracket 166. The quantity of air delivered by blower housing 162 to burner housing 154 is controlled by air shutter 170 connected to threaded shaft 162 and which is disposed over an opening (not shown) in blower housing 160. Control of the volume flow rate of air through the opening (not shown) in blower housing 160 is accomplished by adjusting air shutter 170 on threaded shaft 162 and securing it in position by lock nut 172, which is threadedly engaged to threaded shaft 162. Preferred volume flow rates of air are from about 100 cubic feet per minute to about 350 cubic feet per minute.
A circular-shaped flame spreader 174 is positioned in the path of the gas-air mixture exiting burner tube 158 and is maintained in position by bracket 176 connected to burner tube 158. Bracket 176 may also be connected to a structural member of food preparation oven 10; the primary purpose of bracket 176 being to support flame spreader 174 in the proper position relative to the flow of the gas-air mixture exiting burner tube 158.
Referring to the figures, and particularly FIG. 6, the operation of gas power burner system 22 in conjunction with food preparation oven 10 will be explained. An on-off switch 178 for operating fan 16 is normally open as depicted in FIG. 6. By closing on-off switch 178 in line 180, voltage applied across terminals 182, 184 will energize relay coil 186, which will close relays 188, 190 in lines 192, 194, respectively, to allow current to flow through fuses 196, 198, respectively, to fan motor 24. Fan motor 24 then rotates fan 16 in plenum 18. Fan thermostat 200 is connected in parallel with on-off switch 178 to prevent fan motor 24 from being shut down when the temperature within plenum 18 is above 200� F. This safety feature provided by fan thermostat 200 prevents fan motor 24 from overheating should on-off switch 178 be opened when excessive temperatures exist within plenum 18.
Burner control 202 is connected to line 180 by line 204, which has burner on-off switch 206 and air pressure safety switch 208 connected in series thereto. Burner switch 206 is normally in the open or off position and is closed to connect burner control 202 to line 180. However, air pressure safety switch 208, which is coupled to pressure sensing element 210 in plenum 18, will prevent the flow of current through line 204 to burner control 202 if pressure sensing element 210 does not sense air pressure within plenum 18 created by the rotation of fan 16. Therefore, should fan 16 stop rotating due to on-off switch 178 being opened or failure of fan motor 24, pressure sensing element 210 will sense the lack of air pressure in plenum 18 and cause air pressure safety switch 208 to open, thereby disconnecting burner control 202 from line 180 and preventing the flow of gas.
Assuming that fan motor 24 rotates fan 16 upon closing on-off switch 178, and burner on-off switch 206 and air pressure safety switch 208 are closed to provide current through line 204 to burner control 202, transformer 212 coupled to line 214, which is connected to line 204, reduces the voltage to create an electrical current in line 216 which activates relay coil 218 to close relay 220 in line 204 to thereby provide electic current for the operation of blower motor 164. Blower motor 164 then operates the squirrel cage blower within blower housing 160 to provide a forced flow of air through burner housing 154 and about burner nozzle 32. However, gas will not flow from burner nozzle 32 until centrifugal switch 222, which is coupled to blower motor 164, senses activation of blower motor 164 to close line 224 to cause gas to be delivered to main valve 226. A continuous flow of gas is provided to pilot valve 228 regardless of the position of centrifugal switch 222. A burner indicator light 230 is provided to be illuminated when burner control 202 is activated and the flow of gas is initiated. The preferred voltage for the operation of food preparation oven 10 is 120/280-240 VAC/single phase.
After burner control 202 has been activated to provide a flow of gas, the gas flows through gas line 38 to nipple 43, elbow 44, and nipple 46 to control valve 48, which filters and regulates the flow of gas to pilot valve 228, main valve 226, and spark control, ignition control (not shown). Thereafter, the gas flows as earlier described to mechanical modulating valve 42.
Referring not to FIG. 5, the operator of food preparation oven 10 will select the desired temperature between about 300� F. and about 650� F. by turning adjusting screw 142. Upon turning adjusting screw 142, adjusting disc 140 will move control disc 136 to the left or the right as pictured in FIG. 5 so as to properly adjust diaphragm 72 and main lever arm 94 for the desired gas flow rate corresponding to the selected temperature.
Gas will flow through gas inlet 88 of mechanical modulating valve 42 and pass into gas cavity 70 from which a small flow of gas is permitted through passage 90 by bypass disc 134 into outlet cavity 80 and a gas outlet 84. A minimum rate of gas flow is desired to permit continuous operation of burner 34 (FIG. 2).
Further assuming that a low temperature exists in plenum 18, the fluid within temperature sensing bulb 76, tube 74, and cavity 68 will be in a somewhat contracted state so that the reduced gas pressure within chamber 68 causes stainless steel diaphragm 72 to be moved to the left causing control disc 136 and protuberance 138 to similarly move, thereby allowing compression spring 102 to draw end 98 of main lever arm 94 to the right and the opposite end 104 to the left. As opposite end 104 moves to the left, secondary lever arm lower portion 112 will also be drawn to the left thereby withdrawing throttle disc 114 out of its fully seated position in opening 86 to allow gas to flow from inlet chamber 78 through opening 86 into outlet chamber 80 and gas outlet 84.
As the temperature within plenum 18 approaches the selected temperature, the fluid within bulb 76, tube 74, and chamber 70 will begin to expand and thereby move stainless steel diaphragm 72 toward the right as viewed in FIG. 5. This will decrease the gas flow in order to maintain the flow of gas at a rate corresponding to the selected temperature. Upon expansion of the fluid within fluid cavity 68, stainless steel diaphragm 72, control disc 136 and protuberance 138 will move to the right and exert a force in that direction against main lever arm 94. As main lever arm opposite end 104 moves to the right, secondary lever arm lower portion 110 similarly moves, thereby also moving throttle disc 114 to the right to restrict the flow of gas through opening 86 to a rate corresponding to the selected temperature.
As the gas flows through gas outlet 84, it passes through nipple 82, elbow 146, nipple 148, and to orifice holder 150 to be delivered through nozzle conduit 152 and burner nozzle 32. At this instance, the gas forcibly exiting burner nozzle 32 and the air-stream forcibly passing about burner nozzle 32 will mix to form a gas-air mixture having a substantially elongate teardrop shape. Because the gas and air are mixed under a high flow rate, combustion of the gas-air mixture will occur such that the heat source created by the combustion will be substantially centered about flame spreader 174. Flame spreader 174 serves to shape the substantially elongated teardrop heat source into a substantially spherical heat source within heating chamber 14.
The spherically-shaped heat source created by gas burner system 22 will heat the air in heating chamber 14, which will then be drawn by fan 16 into plenum 18 for delivery through heat ducts 26 and jets 28 against a food product. Thereafter, the cooler air will then be drawn by fan 16 through heating chamber 14 to be reheated for subsequent recirculation. As described above, temperature bulb 76 (FIG. 1) continuously senses the temperature within plenum 18 to ensure that the gas flow rate delivered by mechanical modulating valve 42 corresponds to the temperature selected with adjusting screw 142.
In summary, gas power burner system 22 supplies a variety of gas flow rates having clean combustion characteristics, which satisfy the regulations of standards agencies, for example, AGA. A unique feature is the combustion of a commercial-size food preparation oven 10 and a gas power burner system 22 having a mechanical modulating valve capable of providing gas flow rates corresponding to temperatures between approximately 300� F. and 650� F., and heat quantities between approximately 50,000 BTU's and 120,000 BTU's. Further, quicker response time to temperature fluctuations within plenum 18 is provided by the capability of mechanical modulating valve 42 to vary the gas flow rate to gas power burner 30. This further results in less energy consumed by food preparation oven 10, and a better food product because of the substantially constant temperature maintained in plenum 18.
While this invention has been described as having a specific embodiment, it will be understood that it is capable of further modifications. This application is therefore intended to cover any variations, uses or adaptations of the invention following the general principles thereof, and including such departures from the present disclosure as come within known or customary practice in the art to which this invention pertains and fall within the limits of the appended claims.

If you like Jack Jones you will like this,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Xmas (Audio CD)
I grew up on listening to Jack Jones at Christmas, so was thrilled when I discovered this album. And it hasn't disappointed - I have enjoyed listening to it all over Christmas, and listening to Chrismtmas tunes sung by Jack Jones, that I haven't heard him sing before - but I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed them all, and felt very uplifted and Christmassey listening to them (of course that depends on what you personally find 'Christmassey').
EliteDigital UK, who sent it from their warehouse in America, were also very communicative, keeping me updated of when they had posted this to me, and making me aware that Customs can sometimes delay delivery of it. And they followed up with another email to check I had received it, and to contact them if I hadn't. Knowing this CD was coming from the USA and would take a while, it was very reassuring to be kept updated by the 'sellers'.
A very enjoyable Christmas album if you like Jack Jones, or even if you enjoy Bing Crosby/ Dean Martin/ Doris Day/ -type of music.

UEFA critics hit out at Sepp Blatter's £16m FIFA history film United Passions
- FIFA president sanctions massive outlay on vanity film project
- Drugs-testing at World Cup to cost authorities another £1m after Rio lab has its accreditation removed
- England's commute to training becoming a cause for concern
There was widespread outrage among UEFA delegates at their meeting ahead of the FIFA Congress when the £16million outlay on Sepp Blatter's vanity project film was discussed.
The European representatives were aghast that Blatter should commit so much money — more than the annual turnover of most of UEFA's national associations — to the FIFA history film United Passions, which was launched at the Cannes Film Festival last month.
When Sports Agenda first revealed the sum Blatter had agreed to put into the project — against staff advice — Zurich claimed the true figure was far lower.
Under fire: FIFA president Sepp blatter has been criticised by UEFA delegates
But financial director Markus Kattner, who rubber stamped the decision without the knowledge of a number of FIFA executive committee members, confirmed it was £16m this week.
Kattner added that it was agreed at the 2009 Congress and included in FIFA's 2010 financial report as a World Cup budget entry.
But it is understandable that representatives from FIFA's main decision-making committee knew nothing about this increasingly murky affair when their independent audit overseer Domenico Scala acknowledged it was a 'single line entry' without a purpose being specified.
Spilling the beans: FIFA's finance administrator has confirmed the £16m sum used to make the film
FIFA will have to spend upwards of £1million on sending blood and urine samples from World Cup drugs tests to Switzerland after Rio's poorly-equipped laboratory had its accreditation removed.
World Anti-Doping Agency president Sir Craig Reedie will hold talks in Rio on Saturday to make sure preparations for a new lab for the 2016 Olympics are on course.
Brazil Games chief Carlos Nuzman has invited Reedie to dinner, making sure it did not clash with the England game. Craig pointed out it would not be a problem as he is Scottish.
Sepp Blatter has easily seen off all challengers to his FIFA presidency but UEFA chief Michel Platini is playing a canny game.
Platini, whose FIFA election contention has shifted from definitely not to maybe, is wisely keeping options open to see how far Blatter's reputation is tarnished from the Qatar scandal and the fall-out from Brazil's shambolic World Cup preparation.
Keeping his options open: Michel Platini with Blatter on Wednesday
Meanwhile, the criticism by David Gill, who rarely speaks in public, of Blatter's ridiculous claims of racism against the British press is seen as a clear sign of him emerging as a candidate to be the next UEFA president.
Both the BBC and ITV will have backdrops of Copacabana Beach and Sugarloaf Mountain from their purpose-built Rio broadcasting positions.
The BBC facilities are bigger and no wonder, as they have sent 272 personnel to Brazil compared to ITV's 123.
Meanwhile, Sky Sports administrator Brendan Henry is considering bringing home two of Sky Sports News's four crews in Brazil after FIFA barred non rights holders from pre-match access to World Cup stadiums.
England in extra time
Delayed: England's journey from their hotel to the training base is becoming a nightmare
England's journey from their hotel to their training base must be causing concern.
First predicted to take 20 minutes, the eight-mile trip initially took 39 minutes, then 45 and on Wednesday lasted 55 minutes, with the extra delays blamed on protests on the Copacabana.
There have been no signs of the priority lanes promised to the FA, while there is no chance of a rebellious Rio public observing the Olympic lanes that must be installed for the 2016 Games. A 2016 spokesman said lane details were under discussion.
Things are no better in Sao Paulo, where FIFA executive committee members endured four-hour journeys from the airport and saw delegates bussed in at 7am yesterday to avoid the traffic chaos.
Perhaps they may now be looking forward to the World Cup in Qatar, where all stadiums are in a 75-mile radius.
Charm offensive: James Milner and team-mate Phil Jagielka have met fans
It may all go pear-shaped in Manaus on Friday, but the FA charm offensive has continued through the week in Miami and up to the eve of the team travelling to the Amazon city, with England players Phil Jagielka and James Milner staging a meet and greet with fans at a hotel near the team's Royal Tulip base.

Pizza Patrón's Quick Service Pizza concept is now available in Houston. The freestanding unit opened last week and brings the total number of Pizza Patróns in the market to 12.
Pizza Patrón's QSP model features a standard QSR drive-thru lane that includes an order menu with a two-way speaker system, and a pick-up window where customers complete the transaction without leaving their car. The store also features the brand's trademark Latin-influenced lobby created for its carry-out guests.
"Our innovative new QSP store model combined with our Hispanic brand focus makes us timely and relevant in today's ultra-competitive marketplace," said Andrew Gamm, Pizza Patrón's brand director.
Pizza Patrón worked closely with Lincoln Ovens to develop the new fast-bake technology now standard in every QSP location. The fast-bake system bakes pizzas in just over 3 minutes, allowing made-to-order pizzas to be delivered hot and fresh to customers that prefer the drive-thru experience.
The new unit is operated by Rick Sparkman, who now has five Pizza Patrón locations in Houston.
"I feel this is the best model yet. I will only look for locations that are a good fit for this model for every new store I open or build," he said. "Most people are used to waiting 15 to 20 minutes for their pizzas. The beauty of this model is that it has potential to change the industry. Why will people wait when they can get their custom-baked pizza in just over three minutes? It's a dramatic difference -- and a fantastic advantage for Pizza Patrón and our customers."
Additionally, the Dallas-based pizza chain recently opened its 100th retail location and plans to continue expanding its footprint in new markets through franchising.

Make some "pocket" bookmarks to make family reading a social event. Fold sheets of scrap paper in half, taping two open sides to form a "pocket" you can also use as a bookmark. As you finish reading sessions, write individual secret messages and questions on small slips of paper and slip them into the "pocket" bookmark to look at when you next sit down to read together. Pocket messages can include questions or predictions about what will happen next, comments about the book, or questions to another family member about his/her reactions to the book.
Teams and Teamwork
Teams are not just about sports. Teamwork brings people in many settings to work together and come up as "winners." This month we explore books about the many different ways people work together to achieve a goal, face fears, go through life together, overcome obstacles, and make important changes.

Cimzia (certolizumab pegol) is the first and so far, only, PEGylated, Fc-Free, anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) alpha treatment in development for rheumatoid arthritis. Data presented at the Annual European Rheumatology Congress (EULAR) suggest that, in combination with methotrexate, Cimzia acts fast to significantly suppress disease activity, prevent structural damage to joints, preserve physical function and help patients continue working productively.

Forget sweat patches, VPLs and spots…a new survey commissioned by Kleenex® has found that it's blowing your nose in public that causes us the most embarrassment! The survey of hay fever sufferers reveals that most people prefer a quiet sniff over a good nose blow when out and about. However, allergy specialists warn that the more discreet option actually makes symptoms worse.

Street Scene Mali by Andrew Ingersoll
Following the incident of the passenger who missed her flight at Hong Kong in early February it's caused quote some consternation at Cathay Pacific, the airline whose plane the lady missed. The airline has apologised because it was one of their workers who filmed the video, they've since been disciplined, although it was someone else who actually posted the video on Youtube.
Apparently the woman was shouting "They have no compassion. The plane hasn't even left, and they've shut the gate. They're crazy! They're crazy!" Cathay have apologized to the woman "for the inconvenience and embarrassment she may have suffered as a result" and offered to upgrade her seats on her next trip and reimburse her for frequent flyer miles she used for upgrades on recent flights.So if nothing else we now at least have a fool proof method of securing an upgrade.

Is Canonical the Victim of High Expectations?
When Ubuntu was new, those who questioned it were mostly Debian developers, disgruntled because they were not hired or because Ubuntu failed to acknowledge its debt to Debian. Today, however, a vocal minority seems to view Canonical Software, the company behind Ubuntu, as a Microsoft in the making. From being the uncritical darling of open source, Canonical is closely and cynically scrutinized, and its motives constantly questioned. So how did this transformation happen? Suspicion about corporations is hardly new in open source, yet Canonical seems singled out in a way that SUSE or Red Hat only occasionally are.
Permabit offers deduplication to Linux masses – almost
Permabit has moved beyond OEMs, making the latest release of its dedupe technology available as a Linux software package so that ISVs, professional services folks and systems integrators in its Hybrid Cloud Professional Services partners programme can use it. Previously it was available to OEMs in Albireo (dedupe) and Virtual Data Optimizer or Virtual Data Optimizer, VDO (dedupe+compression+thin provisioning) form. VDO v6 is designed for the cloud service provider market, Permabit says, and the VDO for Hybrid Cloud package simplifies VDO installation and configuration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) data centres.

Katie Price and Alex Reid Celebrated Wedding in Strip Club
Just like their quickie wedding, Katie Price and Alex Reid preferred the untraditional for their honeymoon. The celebrity pair who got married in a Las Vegas chapel on Tuesday, February 2, spent their first night in a strip club instead of a restaurant or a hotel room.
The couple was spotted with some pals at the sin city's Sapphire Gentlemen's Club. The Sun said they spent about $4,000 to rent a private room called The Skybox. With such price, guests were treated with a constant rotation of the club's best lapdancers. "All sorts of stuff goes on up in The Skybox. That's where you get the best treatment," one of the dancers said. "Anything can happen in The Skybox - the girls really let go."
Katie Price who was previously married to Peter Andre did not invite her family to the wedding ceremony which was held at 4 P.M. local time. She was given away by her gay pals and the witnesses included some friends, a TV crew, a security and a magazine staff.
Despite the presence of media, a rep for Katie denied the wedding will be commercialized. "Their decision to marry has not been made with any pre-conceived commercial plan or media deal in place, and their reason for getting married is purely down to their love for each other," the rep said.

Bacon Chocolate Bars snowpea&bokchoi/Flickr If you've heard of (or tried) any type of chocolate or caramel garnished with sea salt, then you'll understand the thinking behind bacon chocolate. Sweet meets salty in this snack, which is a chocolate bar mixed with Alderwood smoked salt and hickory cured bacon. It comes in two varieties, milk and dark chocolate. Also, the good news is that this is a gluten-free snack. Something tells me if you're eating this, though, you're not too concerned about things like gluten-free diets.

Mina's Mediterraneo is a Miami passport to Mediterranean flavors
Dishes range from Middle Eastern and Moroccan to Greek, French and Italian
Mina's Mediterraneo recently opened in a restored 1950s building that has a hip warehouse feel with vintage posters of cities on the Mediterranean Sea. Dishes range from Middle Eastern and Moroccan to Greek, French and Italian including meze, kebabs, soups, salads, pizza, pasta and tangine.
Owner Yasmine "Mina" Kotb gutted the building she bought two years ago and added a new roof, windows, plumbing and a patio in back.
Mina was born in Cairo and emigrated from Egypt to Texas with her family when she was 5. She studied business at the University of Texas in Austin and toured the world with rock bands as a stagehand and accountant. She fell under the spell of Miami on a stop here and decided to open a restaurant. Her parents, who have a similar eatery in Houston, supplied the recipes and help in the kitchen.
Start with spicy feta or besara (fava and herb) dips served with house-baked pita infused with ground cumin. Small plates include stuffed grape leaves, spinach phyllo pies and baked kibbe made from ground beef and bulgur with onions and pine nuts.
Pita sliders include falafel with red cabbage slaw and tahini, grilled chicken with garlic sauce and lamb burgers with harissa and tzatziki.
Bigger appetites can fill up on spicy lentil soup pureed with potatoes and spices, coq au vin made with chicken thighs braised in wine, beef bourguignon, or osso buco, all with mashed potatoes.
There's also linguine with pesto, feta and kalamata olives, moussaka and vegetable tangine in saffron sauce with couscous or caramelized onion rice.
A slice of dark chocolate tart with almond crust ends the culinary travels with a sweet stamp.
