Young adults were expected to be potty trained.   By letting them get up and use it quickly without interrupting the class to ask for the pass and the time it took to return it. Some people have medical problems, and the need arises without much warning.     We had five minutes between classes. Then the principal retired. His replacement cut it to three minutes between classes and turned off the bells even though the clock system needed a lot of work. It turned into a real mess when hundreds of kids were sent to the principal's office for being tardy for each class. The teachers used whatever their watch said, and no two were the same.     -- Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to have a DD214, and a honorable discharge.

I saw it, i was there. About mid 2001 decade the parental rebellion about no schools for performance started to get results. So far only tokenism such as charter schools. Real reform won't happen until the teachers unions are broken. Which requires a society of responsibility for your actions. Not something to hold your breath for.   ?-)

If one cannot come up with anything more appropriate than a bathroom plunger for a hall pass, then the same person would not understand any higher level of thinking. Just let them go on with their foolishness.   BTW - learn how to trim a post instead of re-posting a ton of lines with your own comment inserted within the first few lines.   --   -Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@windstream.net

Also bonding to the structural steel if there is significant steel above ground. Enforcing article 250 et seq. has been part of my job for the past 8 years.

sonnichjensen@gmail.com: Nov 03 12:55PM -0800 Hi all   I have got this small monitor (and TV which I dont use). It only shows a green picture. Sometimes, it get blueish but I cannot keep that or measure on that. But that and that all 3 filaments work makes me think that the CRT is ok The picture is sharp and nice, but only green.   It is build on TDA4505 and TDA3565 (pal and colour decoder).   The TDA3565 has its frequencies (but the 8.8Mhz seems a bit higher), and I can adjust pin 5 (color) 1.5-2.2V which is clearly visible on the RGB outputs. A wild guess is that it is somewhat working.   From the TDA3565 3 transistors are driveing the CRT. Both TDA3565 and transistors are replaced, but I still have this problem. All eletrolytes are replaced.   Since I find it hard to believe that the CRT is broken, what could it possible be? The set is so simple that I cannot see what it can be.   WBR Sonnich

jurb6006@gmail.com: Nov 03 01:17PM -0800 You mean missing red ?   Cathode voltages. If the red cathode voltage is higher, it is in the circuitry. If it is lower it is the CRT.   It is less likely for the color decoder to cause the loss of a color than something in the video output circuitry, usually mounted on a board right on the CRT socket. That is the main place to check. If you do not have information on it, you can see there ar three identical things going to three of the pins. Those will be the cathodes. You should see eacj go through a resistor or sometning to a pin on an IC or transistor. If there are three ICs you can swap them to ind the fault, but alot of them use one IC for all colors. Or it could have three transistors. If you can get a good picture of the CRT board (where the socket is), I can probably sort out what's what if you don't do well at reverse engineering.
