How can we help the sustainability community maintain its growth? *A TEDActive Sustainability Project question*
The TEDActive Sustainability Project will look at best practices in community organizing, and explore radical solutions to push the sustainability movement forward.
At TEDActive2011 in Palm Springs, an amazing group of individuals came together as a group to come up with a simple micro-action solution for helping the sustainability community continue to grow. After a quick 36 hour period of time, they recommended that we move the sustainability TEDTalks into TEDWalks by starting TED Conversations that include an action item attached to a TEDTalk. If you'd like to join them in doing so, please add the tag TEDActiveSUS in the "topics" section of the conversation form.
What would be your micro-solution to growing the sustainability community?
Apr 26 2011: I need to grow into sustainability. Growing is step by step. As a toddler, the first steps from chair to table. Then walking in the house. Than Speedy Gonzales in super markets.
So my micro solution : Try to be a toddler in sustainability; a 5 months challenge with yourself, to learn to walk. List you sustainable spending. And put the barrier each month 10% higher.
month 1 : 10 % of spending sustainable
month 2 : 20 % of spending sustainable
month 3 : 30 % of spending sustainable
month 4 : 40 % of spending sustainable
month 5 : 50 % of spending sustainable
Say you go to the super market and spend 100 dollar, back home you need to be able to mark 10 dollar on sustainable spending and put it under a fridge magnet. It sound silly and childish, though we really have to trick ourselves into sustainable spending step by step.
As for the micro solution on a micro/region effect;
As where we live, on Europa, you can't get further than 50% spending sustainably.
Though if many people reach 50%, it will tip over market driven statistics to invest in the other half 'economically uninteresting products' to become sustainable, this way to to pursue a 100% sustainable economy.
To get a TedxTalk Walking somewhere; 100 people in a 20 mile region showing together in the regional media their 20% achievement, and how they did it is enough to start a decision making revolution for that region.
Naz Beykan
Apr 20 2011: Today, I've faced an issue at a local conference I attended, that I'd really like to bring on this platform.
- +2
The aim of the conference was to guide entrepreneurs and businessmen -I'm neither- on how to adopt green practices (hopefully without greenwashing), how to do sustainable marketing, how to create sustainable brands... (which all sounds like a joke to me, because the end wish is primarily profit, thus it is just greenwashing for the sake of looking good.)
The speakers were giving "good" application examples from big companies... then came (I'm sorry if it's unappropriate but I'll mention the company name) the example of UPS. This company made up something called "carbon-neutral-shipping" in which their customers pay more to have this service, and this extra amount is to be transfered to support renewables.
It sounds pretty cool at first, isn't it?
But, think again!
Doesn't it actually sound discouraging?
We are trying to get more people into the sustainable community, and the companies are punishing their customers for choosing the more sustainable service. They are just after profit and the name-tag. Isn't this clearly greenwashing? (even the presenters have fallen into the trap until I warned them.)
Shouldn't it be vice-versa?
So that more people will prefer the "green" option and may drop the prejudice that "green" is expensive.
I understand that it is not possible for every product or service, but in this specific example, the carbon-use-shippers can pay more to balance their effect. So that they will gradually start to join the sustainable community.
I think this is one of the most serious challenges we have to face... changing this "business" mindset.
Apr 23 2011: The problem is that "green"is not part of business in most of the companies. And they look at this as side business and start by compensations. Logistics companies, for example, have to start thinking about changing fossil fuels to other sources of energy, for example. Only by doing this, for example, a green fuel market will emerge and that will be expensive as it is now.
Sustainability should be part of the business and not seen as philanthropy. We still have a long way to, but we already started.Apr 29 2011: Naz: I work for UPS. I wanted to explain a bit about our carbon neutral service. We started it after our customers asked for an option to mitigate their carbon when we calculated the carbon impact of their shipping. This was a year ago. The cost in the U.S. (sorry I dont know what it is in Turkey, Naz) is as little as 5 cents per package. We don't make a profit on this service but use the money to purchase high quality certified offsets. And we match that offset purchases that our customers make (we have pledged up to $1 million for this program). We've been very careful to make this whole process transparent. We have used third-parties to verify and certify our methodology for calculating the carbon and then purchasing the offsets in the most credible way possible. You can read our FAQ at www.ups.com/carbonneutral. (You will need to pick your country first to get geographically-specific information). I hope this will help address your concerns. Lynnette
Apr 29 2011: Cool!!! Sorry, if I took it out on UPS (:/).... I didn't mean to offend or anything... I was furious simply because the presenters (who had nothing to do with UPS so they actually don't know much about the process) were explaining things without any depth... I'm used to approach every company claiming to be "green" a bit skeptically because one source says something and another a completely different thing. In this overdlown of info one has to question before absorbing that info...
I'm truly glad you enlightened me on that. I'm now sure to try this service.... Keep up the good work.
Ted Ning
Apr 20 2011: I agree with you Naz. The fact that term sustainability comes from a history of 'compliance' or 'measurment' which both in itself are not very inspiring puts it behind the eight ball from the get go. I think we all have seen the picture of gloom and doom if we don't address the issues facing the world today soon and it is so hard to understand what to do when there is no silver bullet (another reason why this is so elusive).
- +1
I was part of the sustainability task force at TEDActive and we grappled with this as well as many other issues surrounding sustainability and we all agreed that it is not only a matter of coming up with a correct answer (see silver bullet reference above) but also what is the right questions that provide specific directions for people or businesses to take - even if they are small. The definition of sustainabilty needs to come from the individual whether it be a student, a citizen or a CEO. Education on impacts of decisions give people more awareness of how they affect their environments. Providing education and information on our current situation is imperative. TED can provide this via their network which they are doing via their topic choices.
I also feel that TED can go deeper - go beyond just the talks but walk the talk too. How sustainable is TED itself? Has that been considered? What information can be provided to the participants of TEDx events to make them zero waste or carbon neutral? Is this being considered for the larger TED events? These are low hanging fruit in my mind.
We all know that 'whats in it for me' reigns in society today. Leverage this to provide TEDcred to those who provide insightful solutions or avenues of sustainability awareness and promotion via the TED network.
Spreading the knowledge base to schools using some of the TED talks on sustainability is an excellet way to engage in discussion that can lead to micro actions for that community.
These are but a few ideas that I think could enhance the conversation
Sarah Shewey
Apr 20 2011: Here's a "Greening your event" resource page for the TEDx community, would love your input:
- +1
Apr 20 2011: We use the "Greening your event" as a guide for our activities here, very useful. I encourage others to check it out, its common sense really.Apr 21 2011: For the Food theme: Do arrangements with local growers. TED is an extraordinary event to communicate not only within the event walls or the computer screen. Inviting local food growers to participate and give them the guidelines to be a provider of this kind of events will also give them new tools and knowledge and experience in a world where more and more people are worrying about green events.Apr 23 2011: Hello, Sarah, I like it.
Maybe you can use some references like this below so anyone who wants can go deeper.
http://www.sustainable.org/living/responsible-buying-a-consumption/473-how-to-plan-a-sustainable-eventApr 20 2011: Not just TED, in any event -at least the ones- on sustainability the organizators should be more careful about the choices they make. For instance, just today I've been to a day-long conference of sustainability and carbon footprint, and the only water available was in plastic bottles... that aside there was no recycle bins or whatsoever... and the speakers while explaining how life cycle should be assessed used the example closest to them... yes, the plastic water bottle... pretty ironic, isn't it?!May 15 2011: My micro-solution to growing the sustainability community?
Perhaps greater change can be achieved by empowering those who are already engaged in sustainability, with leadership skills - so that they can go forth and inspire others with their sustainability passion (existing skill set) and their leadership (acquired skill set) - perhaps by replicating the model of the Australian "Centre for Sustainability Leadership".
I'm a 2011 Fellow in the program and believe it is a "missing link" - passion & knowledge in the community alone wont change the world, we must make sure thar tomorrow's leaders are those with sustainability knowledge and passion.May 15 2011: Why don't we all have a close look at the one country on the planet judged by the World Wildlife Fund to be developing sustainably and copy what they are doing right?
Its not rocket science (literally): its just doing a lot of small things well and, in the process, refocusing society from consumerism towards community. They also manage to score highly on the Happy Planet Index, showing that what they have gained is valued and what they may have had to give up not that important after all.
They have focused on education and are now classified as the most literate nation by the UN.
They have focused on healthcare and now have better life expectance and infant mortality rates than currently enjoyed by people living in the United States.
The have focused on organic agriculture and now deliver most of their fruit and vegetables from organic sources, an amazing turn around from having had the most industrialised agriculture in the Americas just a generation ago.
They are very involved in their communities, and very committed to their democratic institutions with exceptionally high levels of voter registration and voter participation in general elections, yet they regularly turf out 50% of their members of parliament and replace them with better representatives, proving that there is always scope for better politicians.
They don't drive cars (much), love cinema, live music, theatre, baseball, rum and salsa. They have more doctors working in the "Third World" than the World Health Organisation.
If you haven't guessed the country yet - Google WWF Living Planet Report 2006. The answer is recorded on page 19.May 14 2011: Whatever ways or actions someone or some group of individuals take towards sustainability, I suggested (Martinez-Garcia, 2005, 2010) that one should consider that human systems are complex. This means that whatever definition of sustainability for human complex systems should take such complexity into account. In practical terms, I suggested (Martinez-Garcia, 2005, Martinez-Garcia & Anderson, 2007) that a sustainable, human-made, complex system, coevolving with its environment (social, ecological, economic, cultural, technological, etc), should be fit (achieving its multiple goals and purposes while performing below threshold values for failure) and flexible (generating sets of diverse options-strategies-ways to achieve its goals and purposes). These definitions stress the importance of considering diversity (biological, cultural, technological, etc) as a key component of any sustainable system, since such diversity (flexibility) represents nature´s way to cope with uncertainty.May 12 2011: Project idea: Measure the impact of Love, expressed between humans, on creating thriving, Life-honoring -- or sustainable -- systems.
Let's consider a hospital. Give each hospital department the task of assigning staff to simply LOVE people -- fellow staff, patients, visitors -- for one week. Create metrics to assess the system before the project begins. Possibilities: On a scale of 1-10... How likely are staff to want to stay in their jobs and give their best self to their jobs? How appreciated do staff feel at work? How likely are patients to recommend this hospital to family members? How do visitors perceive this hospital to be a true healing environment?
Don't tell people how to love; simply invite them to express love as they see fit. One moment it may look like generosity, humor or kindness. Another moment it may look like forgiveness or straightforward honesty. For someone it may be opening a door. For someone else it may be a compliment about hair style or religious open-mindedness.
Use the same metrics once the weeklong experiment is complete. Compare 'before & after' results.
Assemble staff from all departments in an interdisciplinary setting. Invite staff to hear each other's ideas and develop new, enhanced ideas for projects that further the impacts of Love expressed in a hospital setting -- not from the top down, not from the bottom up, but from all sides.
See the system soar.May 11 2011: McKenzy Haber, teen organizer for TEDxHomer, pitched in as a teen host, curator, and speaker for 2010: Sustain US. Rewarded for his efforts by EPA's President's National Environmental Award and up for Oceana's Young Ocean Hero. NGO's are taking notice that young people can call to action allies who otherwise may not hear adult calls for triple bottom line business or climate action plans. Zander Strode's turtle talks from TEDxTeens also won him a spot in the adult category for the same online vote. Both guys credit TEDxTeens with getting the word out to a much broader-even global audience. http://act.oceana.org/survey/sv-oh-vote/May 10 2011: The Open Source Culture is really showing us that even if completely against the status quo of the economy, when people come together for a common goal, building something better for the sake of building something better, the sky is the limit...
It would be really great if the open source culture was utilized not only for hardware building blocks but also for all kind of needs of a sustainable society. From a sustainable open source house to a transport device to security measures.
All this should be encapsulated with an open source platform that discusses not only the how to do things but WHY to do things also.
This is not only a framework for disaster scenarios, it is a framework that gives you the choice to say enough, it gives you the choice of being free, it shows you that you don't need to be dependent to anything and that the world is a place of abundance and not scarcity...
This would be a real game changer...Apr 27 2011: Link green teens/university eco campaigns with locally produced and teen organized TEDx events. With a theme of sustainability,TEDxHomer Teens were just awarded 1st runner up for the 2010 President's Environmental Award by the EPA, facing stiff competition. They applied the TEDx model to reach all ages, especially their peers, to expand local understanding of sustainability and reach a global audience of 1,800.
The 4 teens (ages 13-15) shared many ideas with the theme of Sustain US: renewable energy, repurposing ecological economics, grad student skill sharing, sustaining relationships, teen leadership at world conferences being included in decisions, slow food for oil addicts, digital documentation of cultural heritage, whale rider conservationist, and living free off the grid. Link green teens/university eco campaigns with locally produced and teen organized TEDx events. http://www.tedxhomer.org/teen_speakers.htm
They would have liked to have had Eric Corey Freed present sustainable building ideas from US Green Building Council. They came up with the bring your own stuff: food, plates, napkins, silverware, drinks. Greening the event underscored the grassroots appeal of making different decisions can be easy. Each decade, culture, region they decided has a different idea of what sustainability means to them.
How can they leverage what they have learned and share it with teen leaders globally? In parts of Africa that demographic approaches half the population because of HIV aids. How could they use technology to support teens also interested in sharing sustainable/survival ideas by doing TEDx's? How can smart phones become an affordable delivery device? How do they convene in large groups from thousands of miles apart? How can adults support their process?
Thanks for asking!Apr 26 2011: We all have to agree on what we mean by sustainability. There are a number of brilliant minds working on this. Bill Molison is one: http://www.tagari.com Another equally brilliant thinker is Craig Holldrege http://www.natureinstitute.orgApr 26 2011: What would be your micro-solution to growing the sustainability community?
My solution is: give them MONEY or other RESOURCES they value.
Apr 26 2011: To me, sustainability must be something beyond the claws of money. It'll only be valid for companies and corporations... as long as they see profit, they are sure to join in. But this is definitely not a local level. Although, I don't deny the fact that their strong lobbying is requried to empower sustainability acts on a political level.
However, to reach people... to have a bottom to top effect...I doubt you can "buy" anyone to care for sustainability... you have to gradually make them understand. Spreading socio-ecological projects adressing local problems are best opportunities to do so.Apr 21 2011: Ok...how to keep sustainable community growth?
1.- Segment of population. The tools to get people involved are not the same for a 40 yrs old than to a 17 years old and an 8 years old.
2.- As Naz said...define sustainability.
3.- Once you have the right people on the right projects, which tools are you going to give them to communicate? A teenager usually listen a lot more to another teenager than to a 50 years old.
4.- How do we measure the efforts? People get excited easily at the beginning, but they need to see change or progress to stay involved.
5.- What is the goal?Apr 19 2011: I believe the key to that is to make sure people understand what "sustainability" really is and to show them it will not be burden as long as we can adapt the systems and the procedures accordingly. So, first step to gather more people is to clarify the definition. Then we need to adress local issues and demonstrate locak solutions to prove that it's possible to be sustainable. So from local communities to the global community the sustainability flow can flourish and become a flood.
The second challenge to face, that I find really disturbing, is that many companies, entrepreneurs and corporations are using "green" and "sustainable" as a brand selling point (or im short they are greenwashing). This is tainting the philosophy of the sustainable movement. Thus, many -including environmentalists- approach it skeptically and they they to give up reaching to these profit-wishers to understand the true value of sustainability. Unless the lobies of business sectors actually start to move and raise their voices, there will be no way to put pressure on the governments, thus legislation and law.
(And one more thing, the developed countries must stop selling old-fossil-fuel technologies to developing and third world countries. They must make renewables available and affordable for them.)
To grow the community lies on the shoulders good leaders -as it generally does- but in this case, we need dedicated and headstrong mentors to guide the youth to be involved in this cause and we have to make sure that they are leading their careers in a sustainable path and actually creating change in every community they step in. And we require a global and free information web and of course and effective use of the social media will be vital. With these tools, all these enthusiactic and dedicated people from different professions from all around the world can reach out to eachother to form groups that can create projects for a sustainable future, and they can actually make a difference.
Apr 23 2011: I love this Greenwash Guide. Very fun and useful > http://www.futerra.co.uk/downloads/Greenwash_Guide.pdf
It helps to avoid bad practices regarding sustainability and branding.

Have listened to all Diana's books (twice)- including the abridged version (hated it). The detail and depth of her stories are what makes them so great, not to mention Davina's wonderful narration. I am in love with Jaime- and appreciate the research that went into the historical part of the novels. Would love for this series to go on forever. Great listen and well worth the credit!
It is about time The Fiery Cross was made available in the unabridged version!!! I love this whole series and was devastated at the abridged version of this book! It was total butchery! Diana is an amazing writer encompassing history and romance with action/adventure, myths and legends and time travel all within an amazing story! And NO ONE could narrate these books other than Davina Porter! Her ability to give each of the characters their own distinct voice allows the reader to know who is speaking without being told and she has a firm grasp on each personality so that it makes the listener feel as if they are not only a part of the story but a part of the family as well. Can't wait for book 8!!!
"Something that had to be gotten through"
I have been thoroughly enjoying the Outlander series. The first book, "Outlander" was just brilliant, and I also liked "Dragonfly in Amber" quite a bit. "Voyager" left a bit to be desired and "Drums of Autumn" was a good story but had slowed down the storyline and needed an editor badly. Gabaldon has become enamored of deeetaaaaaiil. She clearly does a lot of research into the subjects she writes about, even including excruciating detail about how things smell and what seasickness is like and the diets of Scottish farmers and... well... a lot of detail.
And in "The Fiery Cross" she really let loose. It's almost as if she can't help herself. It took several hours just to get through the first day of the novel. The book is much, much too long and clearly is intended as a transition to get the reader into the life of Jamie and Claire in the American wilderness. But there were many places where I just wanted them to MOVE ON ALREADY.
Why did I continue listening? Well, principally because Davina Porter is an absolute genius at narrating these books. I cannot praise her enough. She is simply perfectly brilliant. She has the wonderful Scots brogue down pat, and it contrasts beautifully with British accents she uses - several different ones. And her Scots brogue is distinctly different from her Irish brogue. And she delivers non-English as if she were a native speaker of each of the languages, from Gaelic to French to Mohawk to Iroquois. She even figured out how to deliver French spoken with a Gaelic accent! The only thing she can't do is American English. The Americans in the novel all ended up sounding like British. But that's OK. I'd listen to these books just to listen to her amazing skill and range.
I finished because I had to move on to "The Fiery Cross" as I'm not ready to abandon this wonderful saga. Gabaldon is that amazing a writer.
I'm a 24-year-old woman who loves to read. The longer the book, the better. The Stand, The Help and The Hunger Games are my favorites.
"Finally it's here!"
This has been a long time coming. For me, it's been 3 years of requesting this at least once a week. Fantastic series with a fantastic reader. Now I can finish the series and see what happens to all the characters. Thank you audible for making this available.
For new readers, I strongly recommend starting with Outlander and working your way forward. What I love about these books is that they don't fit into any specific genre. There's romance, bloodshed, betrayal, time travel, Etc., but please don't let the fact that this is a bit of a science fiction read discourage you from trying it out because there's so much more to this series. I mean, who can resist a scottish warrior.:) I myself finished Outlander in 2 weeks, and that was during my Freshman year of college, and it happened to be the end of the semester.
As I've said, these books are very different which is hard to find these days. Davina Porter is an AMAZING narrator also. Like I say, start with Outlander if you are new to this series and don't let the fact that this book is list in the sci-fi category discourage you from at least trying it.
"The Best Author of the Best books ever written."
Read them all and you will read them again and again.
Davina Porter is the best Narrator of Diana's books.
She gets the voices so down that you know who she is talking about
before the book tells you. Recommend, recommend!!!!
Good writing has ... a balance and a rhythm. You can feel that much better when it's read aloud. --Laura Hillenbrand, author of Unbroken
"Life on the Frontier Is Difficult. Duh."
I turned my nose up at the Outlander series for years, thinking that these books were nothing more than silly, schlocky romances. It was the listener reviews on Audible that convinced me to try the first book in the series, and *much* to my surprise I became an enthusiastic fan, both of this series and of the complementary series by Gabaldon that features Lord John Grey.
Davina Porter's wonderful narration makes the audio versions of these books better than their print incarnations. I also find Jeff Woodman's interpretation of the Grey novels delightful.
Loved "Outlander" and "Dragonfly in Amber." Thought "Voyager" was the best of the series so far, and indeed rank it as one of the most enjoyable books I've ever listened to. "Drums of Autumn" was a bit of a letdown, partly because "Voyager" was so good and partly because of the prominence of the character I have come to think of as "Bratty Brianna" (actually I use another adjective, but not on a public site). But "Drums" had an action-packed story that kept me turning the pages (or the audio equivalent).
"The Fiery Cross," unfortunately, moves more slowly than an icebound Highland stream in January. The detailed descriptions of the difficult everyday life on the American frontier in 1771--a time without toilet tissue or disposable diapers, as we learn in not one but several accounts of baby Jem's "exploits"--take up far more than is reasonable of the massive page count in this book, which lacks the edge-of-your seat action of Jamie and Claire's previous adventures. Brianna is still around. She has become a little less bratty now that she's reunited with Roger (nothing wrong with Roger except that he's not Jamie Frasier), but the constant references to her breast milk got nauseating.
The next book in the series, "A Breath of Snow and Ashes," is in my library, but I'm going to wait and bit and rest up from (or perhaps, better, try and wake up from) the Fiery Cross before moving on. The reviews seem to indicate ABoSaA is a better story, so I'll keep going.
"Unabridged, alright."
Seriously. After waiting all this time for the unabridged audible version, I finally got started listening to this and am now thinking abridgment might not be such a bad thing. I am pretty sure that fewer than 8 hours of time in the story pass in the first 8 hours of the recording. I got very impatient for the story to start moving, and when it finally seemed to get along, the multiple storylines separate and backtrack over the same time again. I am still only to part 3 of the recording, but at 16 hours in, it isn't too early to say that even fans are going to need a lot of patience with this book.
"I too was waiting..."
....for Ms. Porter's lovely voice to continue this series. It was so great to read everyone's (very bad) opinion of the abridged edition, and to thus avoid it! I waited, and am so glad I did: Claire and Jamie together again with Ms. Porter's divine voice playing all the parts so well. Thank you much for putting it out there as soon as was available through Recorded Books (which no longer sends out books to reader; what is it about that?). I'm still not finished, but it's a great ride so far!!
"took the long way around"
The entire story could be told in five minutes -- but it took this book more than 30 hours to do it.
It wasn't a horrible book because if you have come this far you have grown to love the characters. But, not a whole lot really happens. There is a lot of the characters we have grown to love going through their every day lives... dayyyy byyyyy dayyyyy.
"Thank YOU!!!!"
I had checked this audiobook via Interlibrary Loan from my local library (who had to get it from another state for the record), because the Unabridged Version was not available at the time (seemed like forever!). So, Thank You SOOO MUCH for being so extremely prompt about putting this out here for us as soon as you could!!! I use Audible through my Kindle, and I'm a happy reader/listener. Verra Happy!

Hey everyone,
New here, but Ive done a good amount of searching around I still have a question.
I've been welding Chromoly and aluminum for about 3 yrs, self taught and i have had the opportunity to learn to weld Ti at work. i purchased a large gas lens set up and a #15 cup and I made some purge plugs and am back purging the weld area. The weld color is acceptable from what i understand (silver/straw) but i am getting slight discoloration away from the weld bead area (see picture) is this okay? or is this just as bad as discoloration in the weld? If its bad any possible solutions you can recommend? Thanks!

Welding Titanium Question
I have never welded Ti but I would say that is not a problem and I would have even expected more.
Less color may be desired but I doubt possible. I know some like a purge box to put the entire part in.
By any chance can you remember slowing down in the areas with the most purple? Well after looking at it again you can tell its towards the ends of your run where the heat was building.
My response isn't helping you but I'd like to learn more about it also. If I get involved and get slapped around a bit, maybe I'll remember.

So weld in shorter spurts, tighten up puddle spacing, and i'm not using near all the 80 amps its just what the machine was set at but ill turn it down anyhow. Thanks for the responses so far if anyone has any other input the more the merrier!!

As a self taught welder you have probably tried different techniques. As with any other material choose wisely the type and thickness of the filler metal. As for the cup...well...thin wall like the .035 would be better suited with the cup size and type your using. If you get the chance to weld thicker parts, like .250 to 1.0 I would suggest ditching the gas lense and shoot with a straight 8
The material has a low rate of thermal conductivity. The thicker, the easier. With the thinner parts like the tubing in your pic remember that the filler metal has a tremendous impact on the overall heat input of that part.
In other words, the more filler, the more heat. Remember that Ti and Argon have an affinity for one another. But all good things in moderation.
The last point I will make is to watch "the glow" in the puddle. At a certain point the glow or brightness dissipates and its time to move, don't soak the puddle too long, and try not to move too slow and compensate with widely spaced beads.
In my opinion Ti is easier to weld than stainless steel. But dirty aluminum is the mother of all evil.
Electric for life, Theres a step below dirty aluminum, Its, Dirty magnesium.
A agree with who ever said that the puddle has the ripples to far apart.

Wow! Lots of great info here!! Thanks! I can't wait to get back at it next week, so just to clarify though, if done proper I shouldn't see the discoloration outside of the weld area? How much does it effect the material? I want these and all of my Ti welds to be on point when we start sending product out the door. Also I think the filler rod was 1/16 but I'd have to check when I get back to work.

As far as an "acceptable" weld on Ti, that is entirely up to the manufacturing engineer or the customers specs. Unlike other materials titaniums welding requirements are industry specific. Normally the procedures are developed by the engineers that design the parts themselves.
My first experience with this type of material was in Aerospace. Color is the primary determining factor of how well the welding process was performed.
You mentioned "straw" coloration. This would have been rejected. Nitric Acid etching would remove a specific amount of material and the process would be repeated.
Look online for the "color schedules" that some companies refer to as a guide. I believe most welding procedures as well as the procedures for the "removal" of the color varies.
Your welds should be just fine. Coloration forms when the weld and the surrounding material is getting too much atmosphere before it reaches a low enough temperature not to oxidize. In other words, its the same challenge as getting "color" on stainless but in this case, "no color" is the goal.
Removal of the unwanted color is all you really have to do to ensure the best weld quality. If you see blue or purple its not the end of the world. Just stay away from grey or brown. I've even seen white, that was on thicker material however. But mechanically removing the oxide is normal. Wire brushing can be good/ok. Just use quality brushes that are clean and aren't too warn out. A stray wire in the weld puddle will get annoying.
Sand blasting and etching are the best ways to remove discoloration from the surface.
As far as achieving good color, Ti doesn't seem to wet in like other ferrous materials. To me, it behaves more like Al. So be aware of soaking too long and roll back of the throttle as you "drop" the temp as you move forward with the arc, not the puddle. Its minute but if Im making any sense you'll see this under the hood. Faster and steadier. Good luck.

Thanks a bunch!!

Try cleaning the whole area that will be in the heat affected zone. The color may have come from heat and residue left on the tube. And plenty of acetone.

Comments On Mar 06, 2011:I recently bought the larger 6 qt. funnel. I will be using this item from now on. It works very well as the fuel travels quickly through funnel, yet it filters out even the smallest particles. I am planning to buy another to use with tractor, lawn mower, log splitter, maybe even the car. I think it would work well right from the gas pump into the cars fuel tank! Very good product. Everyone should use one who is concerned about dirt in their gas.

Comments On Feb 17, 2010:This is the best funnel ever. It is great how it removes the water! I use mine with every fill up and always find something i filters out.

Comments On Jun 27, 2009:i dont run a filter on my bike, so when i fill up my fuel jugs at the pump i run it through this filtered funnel. The amount of crap it collects is unreal. The thing i dont like is its so big you cant see your fuel level in your tank while filling. Thats why i filter the fuel going into the jug rather than the bike.

Maple Leaf Farms Duck
Which Duck Product Is Best For You?
This is Page 3 of a four-page article. Click on the black links below to visit other pages.
About Maple Leaf Farms
Maple Leaf Farms has grown from 280,000 ducks in 1958 to processing more than 15 million animals today, most of which are raised on small family farms, often Amish or Mennonite. Donald Wentzel, who started the farm in Milford, Indiana, believed that the duck industry would blossom once more consumers were exposed to the succulent and versatile meat.
Maple Leaf Farms Duck Products
From the broad menu of Maple Leaf Farms products, we tasted the following:
"Simply Duck"
The "Simply Duck" line offers three flavors of fully-cooked, boneless, sliced duck breasts. The meat is ready in 2 ½ minutes in the microwave or 15 minutes in the oven. The microwave is great when you find yourself in a time crunch, although we recommend the oven for slightly crispier skin. A hybrid solution is to follow the microwave directions, reducing the time by 15 seconds; then placing the duck breast, skin side up, under the broiler to crisp the skin.
For people who want more duck in their life—with less fuss and less muss—"Simply Duck" is simply divine.

Bed Fan with Wireless Remote
Keep cool between the sheets. Sleep better tonight.
Circulates air under the sheets to disperse built-up body heat and keep you comfortable all night long.
- Great for couples with different temperature preferences, naturally warm-bodied people, and for alleviating night sweats
- Sends a breeze over the body rather than the entire house–turn off the AC and save on cooling costs
- More effective and efficient than traditional cooling methods, which only affect the air outside the sheets
- Adjustable height clears thick to ultra-thick mattresses on a variety of bed frames
- Wireless remote is backlit upon touch, has variable speed, and sits on the nightstand for easy-to-reach adjusting
Kicking the sheets to the end of the bed? Try Bed Fan. It tucks between the top and bottom sheets to cool your body–the source of the heat–instead of the entire house so you can save on cooling costs. Bed Fan disperses built-up body heat with a cool, refreshing breeze between the sheets.
Perfect for couples with different preferences!
Some people sleep hot under only a sheet. Others want layers of blankets. And there are others who sleep hot and cold–they're often convicted in the morning of stealing the covers or kicking them to the bottom of the bed. Bed Fan to the rescue. It sits at the foot or side of the bed and keeps cool, fresh air moving between your top and bottom sheets. Position the Bed Fan to one side, or in the middle for both sleepers. Or buy two–one for each of you. Choose your level of cool with the wireless remote.
Bed Fan's wireless remote sits on the nightstand for easy-to-reach adjusting.
Powered by 2 AA batteries (not included), the wireless remote is backlit upon touch so you can see it as you adjust it at night. It controls the powerful dual fans that move up to 680 feet of air a minute dispersing built-up body heat under the sheets. You'll sleep comfortably all night long as the the Bed Fan blows a refreshing breeze. If you wake up too warm, simply adjust the fan with the wireless remote. Twist the top to increase or decrease the fan's intensity. With the remote at your bedside, you can adjust it without getting out of the covers–helping you get back to sleep faster.
Adjusts to fit your bed frame and mattress height.
The dual-fan reversible base draws air from under the bed or can face outward for platform bed frames that sit on the floor. Once your base is positioned, adjust the height to clear the top of your mattress. The fan's height extends an additional foot from its shortest position to accommodate taller beds and thicker mattresses.

Dog Cooling Coat 1 1
what a find I live in central Florida where the humidity can be oppressive so when I discovered this item I was apprehensive. However my long hair dog loves it she no longer pants on her walks and when I remove the coat her body feels cool. Highly recommend it just wish the belly closure had a better adjustment. For sure an item that every dog deserves in the summer July 7, 2014

Sonny, Thank You!
August 7, 2008. Posted by Angelika Beener.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive
OK. One of the highlights of my live-performance-attending-life happened last night. I got to see the man himself, saxophone colossus, tenor titan - Sonny Rollins! Sonny is one of my all-time favorite tenor players, and this was my FIRST time actually seeing him live. It was really an experience. I love seeing all my favorites perform but this had a different thing to it. Well...because he's Sonny. His body of work, what he means to the history of this music, his contribution as an inventor, a trailblazer and artist...all that. Growing up, my mom would play "Tenor Madness" incessantly. And she and my step-dad would have very interesting debates about who "won" the tenor madness battle. Sonny or the newer kid on the block - John Coltrane. My mom always voted Trane and my stepdad would say "are you crazy?" listen to Sonny's toooone. They would trade lines, singing what they thought supported their vote and well...it was a lot of fun to watch. I always voted Trane myself, being the Trane-junkie I am. But I gotta tell you...one day, I picked those traded solos apart bit by bit for a whole afternoon and well...I really gained a new appreciation for Sonny. My appreciation for Trane was instant and almost innate. But Sonny...it took some maturing for me to really get it like I got it now. I always LOVED Sonny's playing, but there was something about living a little more life, and then listening to Sonny that made me appreciate him so much more. But that was my introduction to the artist that would become such a staple in my life (and CD rotation). Next was the Way Out West recording. I wore that OUT! One of my favorite vamps of all time is his on "I'm an Old Cowhand." So pretty.
But I digress :)
Seeing Sonny yesterday was somewhat surreal. Sonny represents an era; a moment in history that very few artists can demostrate with just their presence alone, like he can. He opened the show with a calypso-feel tune, and was just so warm toward the audience and his band and was clearly having a lot of fun. Then it happened. I was standing at the edge of the stage with my camera, and he walked RIGHT up to me, bent down toward me and posed for my camera (the photo above - that's the one!) Almost like saying "hello!" with his horn. Man...that was a feeling.
He performed his classics like "St. Thomas" and "In a Sentimental Mood" (Yes, when he recorded the Duke Ellington classic, he definitely made it his own). But he also performed newer originals. When he went into "St. Thomas," I thought, "the show's over?" Tisk, tisk...how very cliche of me. I should have known that Sonny wasn't going out so predictably. He played another hour, LOL! He played this one tune that had this dope backbeat...not your typical "I'm a jazz musician playing a back-beat now." No, this had some different stuff sprinkled on it. Almost how I would imagine Tony Williams' version of a back beat...a little behind the beat...a little gritty. And I was thinking man, Sonny is so hip. He's so current, past and future. That's what makes Sonny the man. Well, one of the things. All I can say is "Sonny, thank you." You made my night, and gave me a memory that is one for the books.
Cole...Freddy That Is.
August 5, 2008. Posted by Alice Stockton Rossini.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive
Freddy and me after the gig
The house lights flicker at a low-level dim while the stage lights illuminate the tinting instruments on stage. The crowd cheers as the great Freddie Cole walks to center stage and counts off the band. 1...2...3...4! BAM! The saxophone section hits the opening line with vigor and attitude as Freddy sings the opening lyrics to "It's only a Paper Moon."
On July 23rd, Freddy Cole--Nat King Cole's younger brother--came to William Paterson university to play with some amazing young musicians. Among them was yours truly. It was an honor to play with a cat like Freddy Cole. Freddy reminds young musicians where the music comes from by primarily performing repertoire from the great American Songbook. Freddy's approach to music contains simplicity, but he accomplishes something that musician strives for- expressing his emotions to the audience through music. That kind of connection had the audience tapping their feet and clapping their hands. After the last number, the audience pleaded for one more number. Cole sat down at the piano and closed the concert with a beautiful ballad. The audience roared as Freddy exited the stage to a standing ovation. It was a humbling experience to play in Freddy Cole's band that night. It reminded me, that at the the end of the day, music comes down to one thing, emotion. No matter the complexity of a Bebop line or accuracy of intonation, if emotion is not present, a musician has nothing.
I thank Freddy Cole for the opportunity to join him on the bandstand and am indebted to him for reminding me why I started playing music in the first place...Simply put, it's just really fun!

When you hop on the ferry to visit Ellis Island, you get a taste of America's immigrant roots.
However, only a fraction of the island is open to the public.
The vast hospital complex which covers the south side of Ellis Island has been abandonned for about 50 years and is off-limits to the public, but that's going to be changing.
Efforts are underway to stabilize and restore these buildings.
After an initial trip with a group of Jersey lawmakers six years ago, I had a chance to go back recently to check on the progress that's been made in preserving not only the buildings but the history that goes with them. What I found can be heard in the next feature in WBGO News' Lost Jersey series, which airs on our next WBGO Journal, Friday, August 1 at 7:30pm.

Let me start off by saying, I do not like any fragrance from the house of Calvin Klein. But this one is a surprise to me. CK One Shock is, as corny as it sounds "shocking". I get a very strong green apple vibe up top with black pepper in the background, which makes it a good scent for the Spring and Fall. Nothing particularly special, but it works and creates a very pleasant scent. This is a perfect fragrance for a younger audience (highschool & college). It's nothing great, but for the price I'd have a hard time not recommending it. Overall my favorite Calvin Klein scent

Written by Linda on November 23, 2014Read Review details ►
Hands down one of my personal favorite scents EVER! To be honest, the name is ill-fitting to me because it didn't "shock" me. It was a very unique smell however. Sweet from the honey and amber, but it also had a strong smell of tobacco. So when I first smelt it, it was very sweet but then it mellowed down into a very pleasant soda pop smell. I know this may sound weird to a lot of people but it reminds me of soda pop. Fizzy, bubbly and sweet but with a kick!

I need someone who is willing to be our waiter so that we can make this happen.

 We will show up for dinner wearing formal attire. You must provide your own formal attire for this gig. Slacks, dress shoes, and a button-down shirt and tie, or a dark cocktail dress and flats. I will provide you with the tablecloth, napkins, nice plates, and wine glasses. You need to get there before us and have the table set up and ready to go. You must greet us at the door and show us to our seats and hand us our menus (they have them up front). Once we order, just go up to the counter and buy the food from the employees (but wait a while so it seems like they are making our food). But don't forget to keep filling up our drinks!

 When we are finished, bring us the food receipt and I will pay you for the food, plus $50 for your services, plus tip. The whole thing shouldn't take longer than a couple hours including setup and cleanup. Please be as professional as possible.

Door hinges missing on drivers side - door falls off when handle pulled and must be "placed" back on to close. Passenger side door will not open at all, probably for humanitarian reasons. Muffler fell off, now in back seat but you wont notice the noise because the shame will be deafening. Car would overheat if engine would stay running long enough but mercifully, it will not. Steering wheel loose and missing mounting nut. Front right brake rotor damaged when wheel fell off while driving. Many dents(several from my foot), scrapes, rust and holes here and there. Radio has "William Shatner Christmas carols" cassette tape stuck in deck, enjoy. Radio catches on fire at random. Minor smoke damage from radio and other misc. electrical fires though not on headliner as it caught fire as well and was thrown from vehicle. Front bumper fell off (I left it). Brakes squeak,wheels squeak, wipers squeak, everything squeaks and/or is broken. Headlights blink on and off, turn signals do not. Drivers seat mounting rails broken off in back, brick under seat. "New car smell" has given way to "old rat decomp". Stains on upholstery are primarily not urine related. Engine has original horsepower (both) and few of the critical parts have fallen totally off. Rust holes in floorboards covered with tattered garbage bags and duck tape scoop up exhaust fumes from missing muffler. Car will not make it, must tow (preferably on a trailer with a solid deck and sides to avoid leaving a trail of parts behind as they fall off during your trip). thanks-Jumpinjoe

This spectacular, classic image, published in close-up and in poster size exclusively for SportsPosterWarehouse.com, features another Danimal sack of an opposing quarterback (in this case, Cincinnati's Boomer Esiason) during the prime of his Hall of Fame career. This picture certainly says 1,000 words about Hampton and his style, so we won't say any more except - WOW! With a nod to the good old days of sports posters, this amazing piece avoids distracting graphics and tacky lettering, and simiply gives you the perfect image of the great player as you remember him best. Printed from the original photographic negative on archival Kodak Endura stock, and complete with the official NFL Properties serialized hologram, this is both a stunning piece for any fan, and a valuable collector's item for years to come.

I'm not meaning to hijack. My question is so similar. A Dynasty 280 DX With a Bobcat 250. The Bobcat is rated at 10000? watt. The 280 at full load will exceed that, so no top end. Is the power clean enough that it won't damage the Dynasty?
TIG is a minimal spatter process, I can use silicone bronze to join galvanized to hot rolled steel or cast. Extremely combustible dust builds up on surfaces in 1/2 hour at the pellet mill. The clean area need not be as large with TIG.
If you have your Dynasty wired up with a Normal 240v 6-50 plug you just need an adapter

From my personal experience....
I have run a Dynasty 200DX countless times off of a Trailblazer 301G...
and it ran flawlessly with no problems...
would think the TB 325 would work fine as well...
But if you have concerns... why not call Appleton and get the official word from the factory..??.

Hooking up a Dynasty 200dx to a Trailblazer 325efi?
Run my Dynasty all the time off Bobcat 225.
I've run 1/8 7018 rods with no problem.
Also ran dynasty off of 4 different generators. One was only 3500 watt but was still able to run 3/32 rod. I've also ran 1/8 6010 & 7018 off 5000 watt generator, pulled all the generator would put out but got the job done. The Dynasty will run off about anything. Never hurt mine.
Dynasty w/TB302,TB325, Pro300D
I have done this for countless hours on end....... When I had my TB302 I must have put 100 hours on like that, but here's the catch I was welding with both machines I was running the TB302 around 140 amps 1/8 7018 and the dynasty was running the same.
Then I bought a Pro300D and did the same thing over and over, even running 5/32 7018 on both machines at the same time.
Now I just bought a new TB325 about 2 weeks ago and I had a call where I needed to get the job done faster so I tested the TB325 out to make sure I can still do this with no problems............. Yep still can although it seems to work the TB325 a little harder when running 2 5/32 7018 at the same time then I would like to see, so why not try the invision 354MP out on the TB325 and bam it's really nice on the larger rods it don't draw as many amp as the Dynasty on the bigger rod.
So just for fun, I had the TB325 running as a generator and cranked up the invision to run some 3/16 7018 nice and hot for roll welding on a cap(about 230 amps) and the TB325 barely had to work to make the power for the invision.
Now if you are wondering why I do this, it's because I get a lot of odd jobs where 2 machine are very beneficial and tough to spend the money on dragging a second machine with me. So when I do need this set-up either the wife come with me or my son, depends on which one wants to make some money.
Any question, feel free to ask?

WWW is often translated to World Wide Wait.
That waiting happens too often, so Ahne2Web makes pages that download fast.
No ornament, gags or animated pictures.
Ahne2Web makes pages of a reasonable size, so the readers don't need to download another page too often.
The text is shown immediately, so the reader can start reading before downloading is finished.
Ahne2Web displays all persons with 'who, when, what and where':
John Brown (1801 - 1864)
Farmer in Smalltown
This is informative for the readers and lets them identify
people immediately.
They have no use of seeing some John Brown who is not identified with name and years, occupation and place of residence. Without this information noone can tell if he is 'the right one' or not.
Ahne2Web creates a well-arranged hierarchy of pages, each
being simple and easy to grasp.
The number of pages can be adjusted for small or large colletions.
The surname index displays the number of people for each surname, so the reader will not be disappointed when finding only one single Cavaradossi.
The name indexes are simple - not divided into a strange hierarchy of unknown depth.
People are sorted alphabetically, ready for the browsers search function.
No fuss with the single page per family and links between pages as found in our genealogy programs - That's far too slow on the Internet.
The reader will receive the family relations when you send a CEDCOM file.
Index of place names shows persons for each placename. Ahne2Web has many tools for trimming your placenames, and you can limit the list to placenames with many persons.
Ahne2Web creates two formats for the ahnentafel (ancestry table).
The graphical ahnentafel is designed to display up to 8 generations: 255 people on one screen - with name, years, occupation and place for each of them.
So much information in such a small area cannot be found anywhere else.
The simple ahnentafel displays all ancestors by generation, numbered by Kekule von Stradonitz's system. The reader need not waste time on multiplying and dividing numbers by 2 - we have machines for that: Ahne2Web creates links between parents and children. In case of repeated ancestors (due to a cousin-marriage) the common parents are shown at one place only - with links to all the relevant children.
The descendants table (new in version 6) is also graphic and easy to overview.
Ahne2Web creates nice-looking pages - at least according to my
taste ;-)
You decide the colours, and if you want more ornament or even bells and whistles, then you can edit the pages in a html-editor.
Of course Ahne2Web is a user-friendly program and easy to
for you are hardly going to use it every day.
The program 'speaks' english, but introduction and User's Guide are available in Danish too.
Translators to other languages are welcome to contact me.
Please no foreign checks: My bank's fees will eat them up.
Your bank will also profit, no matter what way you choose, but there is nothing I can do about that :-(
