What is the Graduated Driver License Law?
Answer: The graduated licensing system places certain restrictions on teens under the age of 18 who have learner permits and driver licenses.
When did the Graduated Driver License Law take effect?
Answer: The Graduated Driver License (GDL) Law went into effect on July 1, 2001. Applicants who are 18 or older and teens who have graduated from high school are not affected by the GDL law.
How do you apply for a learner permit or intermediate license under the GDL law?
Answer: You may apply for a learner permit or intermediate license at any full-service Driver Services Center by providing the proper documentation and forms, listed below. To obtain a learner permit, one must pass a written exam and an eye exam. Our online services include practice learner permit tests. To obtain an intermediate license, one must pass a road test. You may schedule a road test appointment through our online services.
A major feature of the GDL law includes the requirement that applicants applying for an intermediate license must present certification that the intermediate license applicant has a minimum of 50 hours of behind-the-wheel driving experience, including a minimum of 10 hours of driving at night. This certification must be signed by the minor applicant's parent, legal guardian, or certified license instructor confirming this experience.
To apply for a Learner Permit or Graduated Driver License you will need to bring:
Additional Requirements
To obtain a Tennessee Driver License for the first time when an applicant is under the age of 18, proof of prior driving experience is required. The applicant must either:
If applicant is under the age of 18 and holds a learner permit from another state
The applicant may apply for a Tennessee Intermediate Restricted Driver License if the applicant is at least 16 years old and has held their out of state permit for at least six (6) months (180 days). The applicant will need to bring, along with the documents listed above, an official Motor Vehicle Record from the state issuing the learner permit. This certified driving record must show no violations or accidents on the record. Contact the state issuing the learner permit for instructions on how to obtain a Motor Vehicle Record. The Motor Vehicle Record must have been issued less than 30 days before the road test is taken. Please schedule your road test several weeks in advance to make sure you meet all deadlines.
In addition to the Motor Vehicle Record from the issuing state, an applicant holding a learner permit from another state must show proof of school attendance/ progress. This document may be obtained from the student's school office. If the applicant is enrolled in school outside of Tennessee (or in an approved private or church school in Tennessee without access to the SF1010 forms), the applicant must provide a statement from the school principal or headmaster on official school letterhead specifically confirming that the applicant is not truant and is making satisfactory progress in their school. Any proof of attendance/progress is valid for 30 days, unless issued during the month of May, which will then be valid throughout the summer and for the first 30 days of the new school year.
For more detailed information, read Chapter 3 of the Tennessee Driver License Handbook.

The process to apply for a learner permit or intermediate license under the GDL procedures now requires an additional $5 fee for each application. The tests, other required documentation and other fees remain the same.
More information regarding the Graduated Driver License
What are the restrictions for drivers with a learner permit?
Answer: Anyone under the age of 18 who has a learner permit will be prohibited from driving between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. When driving, permit holders must have a licensed driver age 21 or older in the vehicle with them. Seatbelt use is mandatory for everyone in the vehicle under the age of 18 (passengers age 3 and under must be in an approved child restraint device).
How long must I have a learner permit before applying for an intermediate license?
Answer: Under the GDL law, anyone under the age of 18 must have their Tennessee learner permit for a minimum of 180 days (approximately six months) before they can apply for an intermediate restricted license. The minimum age for applying for an intermediate license is 16. BOTH of these requirements must be met before a minor can qualify for an Intermediate license. For example, even if the teen has already held their permit for 180 days but has not yet turned age sixteen, they cannot get an Intermediate license yet. Similarly, just because a teen is already age sixteen, if they have not held a learner permit for 180 days, they will not qualify to get an Intermediate license until both qualifications are met.
If someone with a Tennessee learner permit gets 6 or more points on their driving record during the 180 days before applying for the intermediate restricted license, they have to continue to hold the Tennessee learner permit until their record has been clear for 180 days.
What are the restrictions for drivers with an intermediate restricted license?
Answer: Seatbelt use is mandatory for all vehicle occupants (passengers age 8 and under must be in an approved child restraint device as outlined in Tennessee's New Child Restraint Law).
Those with an intermediate restricted license can only have one other passenger in the vehicle, UNLESS:
Those with an intermediate restricted license are prohibited from driving between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., UNLESS:
What would happen to an Intermediate Restricted License holder who is caught with a forged or fake letter?
Answer: A driver with an Intermediate Restricted License who is convicted of having a forged or fraudulent letter or statement will have their intermediate restricted license revoked and will be reissued a learner permit until they reach the age of 18.
What will my Intermediate License look like?
Answer: An Intermediate License will be similar to regular licenses but will have the word "Intermediate" displayed prominently across the license. You may view these licenses at the following links:
Graduated Driver License Examples
How long do I have to keep an Intermediate Restricted License?
Answer: Teens must hold their Intermediate Restricted License for a minimum of one year. After one year, they can apply for an Intermediate Unrestricted License. There is a $2 application fee. Teens need to apply in person at any of the Driver Service Center Locations. The word "Intermediate" will still be on the license, but the restrictions will be lifted.
However, if a teen driver has received six or more points (equivalent of two minor traffic citations) on their intermediate restricted license; contributes to a traffic crash; or is convicted of a second seatbelt violation, they will have to wait an additional 90 days to apply for an intermediate unrestricted license.
Also, if the teen driver gets a second moving violation while holding the Intermediate Restricted Driver License, he or she will need to complete an approved Driver Education class before being allowed to get an Intermediate Unrestricted Driver License.
At age 18, a driver could apply for a regular unrestricted license without the word "Intermediate" printed on it. There will be an $8 duplicate fee unless the driver chooses to keep the license with the word "Intermediate" on it until that license is at the end of its five-year renewal cycle.
I'm under the age of 18 and a foreign national, can I get a learner permit?
Answer: You will need to apply for a Temporary Driver License. All restrictions and requirements under the Graduated Driver License program will apply to the Temporary Driver License Permit.
The Tennessee Department of Safety began issuing a "Temporary Driver License" (TDL) on October 1, 2007 to foreign nationals residing in Tennessee whose legal, temporary presence has been authorized by the federal government.
The license is designated as "Temporary" because the expiration date will be the same as the expiration date of the foreign national's authorized stay in the United States. The Temporary Driver License is valid for the same period of the applicant's authorized stay in the U.S but no longer than 5 years, and if not defined, for one year.
For more information on a Temporary Driver License Permit visit the TDL FAQs page.
I'm a minor. Can I get a Certificate for Driving Learner's Permit?
Answer: No. After October 1, 2007 the Certificate for Driving (CFD) will no longer be issued to new applicants. Those holding an expired or expiring certificate will not be able to have it renewed. For more information, go to Tennessee Certificate for Driving (Class TD).
Are there any teens who are not affected by the Graduated Driver License law?
Answer: The new law will not apply to anyone age 18 and older OR anyone under the age of 18 who has graduated high school.

After the Flood - There's Hope
Homes that are damaged by flooding can be repaired and made more durable.
Flooding is a fact of life that results in more damage to buildings throughout the United States than any other single natural cause. Residential buildings are especially hard hit during floods; the lives of the residents are disrupted and precious possessions are lost.While homeowners are discouraged or prohibited from building new homes in floodprone areas, existing homes,when damaged,must be repaired. Builders can minimize damage to these homes from future flooding by repairing or renovating them using materials and methods that are resistant to flood damage.
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Tuskegee University have been working to identify and evaluate building materials, systems, and methods that can be used to repair houses after flooding and that make the envelope of a house more resistant to future flood damage (see "After the Flood,"HE Jan/Feb '03, p. 12).We were also interested in providing a scientific basis for certifying building materials and systems that are resistant to flood damage, so that that information can inform future building code development.
The Department of Homeland Security, Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate defines flood damage resistance as the ability of materials, components, and systems to withstand direct and prolonged contact with floodwater without sustaining degradation that requires more than cosmetic repair to restore it to its original condition. Cosmetic repair includes cleaning, sanitizing, and resurfacing material; resurfacing includes sanding, repairing joints, and repainting. Repair should be less costly than simply replacing the affected materials and systems.As a result of our materials testing,we have identified another key attribute of flood damage resistance. Individual materials that are considered flood damage resistant must not cause the degradation of adjacent materials, or the systems of which the material is a part.
A 2-ft Flood
Our test facility is located on the experimental farm near an agricultural lake at Tuskegee University, in Tuskegee,Alabama. Initially, two test modules were built with typical home construction materials and methods. The modules were flooded to a level of 2 ft above the floor with water from an agricultural lake that reasonably represented typical riverine floodwater.The test modules were allowed to dry for 30 days. Detailed information was collected to determine how these construction materials and systems were affected during and after flooding.Test results from these materials and systems provided a baseline against which other materials and systems could be compared.
Based on what we learned in those tests,we conducted a second set of tests. The second set of tests introduced materials and systems that we expected to be more flood damage resistant than typical construction materials and systems. In the second tests, unlike the first ones,we sanitized the materials and systems while they were drying, and cosmetically restored them after the drying period, in order to assess their performance after exposure to a flood. Samples of the various materials were taken for testing and observation, and the test modules were then demolished and autopsied.The initial results of our research were reported in the article cited above.
We built a third pair of modules to attempt dry floodproofing—constructing a building in such a way that no water enters the structure during flooding— and to test additional materials and systems for resistance to flood damage.
In all of our testing,we employed relative humidity transmitters; thermocouples that measured temperature; and moisture sensors installed in wall studs, wall surfaces, floor joists, and floor surfaces (see Figure 1).A weather station provided data on ambient conditions during the test.We used a hand-held moisture meter to measure material moisture content during the postflood drying period. Mold was sampled from the modules and tested in a laboratory to identify its type. Flexural strength and modulus were determined for various types of siding and wallboard.
We also developed detailed protocols for visual observation.While visual observation is subjective, the protocols were developed to systematize these observations and make them as detailed and consistent as possible throughout the series of tests.We made extensive photographic and video records as well.
Flood-Damage-Resistant Materials and Systems
The ORNL/Tuskegee experiments tested only for resistance to physical degradation that results from the wetting and drying cycle associated with flooding.The testing did not address the structural impact on the envelope of externally applied hydrostatic pressures. Postflooding mold growth was documented and selected specimens were analyzed. Some test modules were also cleaned and sanitized to determine if mold growth could be controlled. However, bacteriological and toxic materials testing were not performed during this series of tests. And we did not test for the residual health effects of flooding on otherwise flood-damage-resistant materials and systems. Such testing could potentially change our conclusions.
The following conclusions should be viewed as preliminary, since the purpose of our project was to provide a scientific basis for certifying materials and systems for flood damage resistance for use in building codes, and as yet there is no accepted certifying test procedure.
Newly installed and painted plywood and hardboard lap siding maintained reasonable dimensional stability and mechanical properties after they were dried.The siding materials that we tested were washable after flooding and drying, but these materials remained discolored. However, older,weathered plywood and hardwood siding, or siding made of the same materials that is repeatedly wetted and dried over several cycles, could significantly degrade and require more than cosmetic repair to restore it to its original condition. Both vinyl and fiber cement siding could be restored to preflood conditions through washing the portion below flood level.The corner boards, which were made from nominal 1-inch sawn lumber, cracked and warped.Vinyl corner trim showed no evidence of deterioration from flooding.
Fiberock sheathing, a water-resistant, fiber-reinforced gypsum panel manufactured by USG, maintained its integrity and mechanical properties.The Fiberock dried to preflood conditions during the drying period.
Plywood sheathing maintained its integrity and mechanical properties. However, it had not dried to preflood conditions after 30 days. Because water does not tend to escape quickly from behind plywood siding,we do not consider the combination of plywood siding and sheathing to be a good flood-damage- resistant system. Lap siding tends to let moisture escape more quickly. If a flood-damage-resistant lap siding is employed, the use of plywood as sheathing is likely to make an acceptable flood-damage-resistant system.
We experimented with 15# felt under both vinyl and fiber cement lap siding and found that the sheathing had dried to preflood conditions at the time of autopsy. We will perform a test using Tyvek house wrap at press time.According to the manufacturer,Tyvek inhibits the passage of liquid water and it breathes, so water vapor from drying can pass through the material. We'll know experimentally how it performs under flood conditions in a couple of months.
Wood Framing
The moisture content in wood studs above the flood line returned to preflood levels within the drying period.The portion of the studs below the flood line did not, in most cases, dry to preflood levels during the drying period.We considered wood studs to be flood damage resistant as long as the wall system will permit them to continue to dry to normal moisture levels.
Wall Insulation
Fiberglass batt insulation appeared to retain moisture in the exterior wall cavities and below the floor (see Figure 2). The moisture on the fiberglass fibers appeared to keep adjacent walls and floor materials wetter longer; this could potentially cause long-term damage to the subflooring, to the floor and wall framing, and to the gypsum board walls. When spray polyurethane foam (SPUF) insulation was used in the wall cavities, the wallboard and wood studs in exterior walls dried at nearly the same rate as in the interior walls with empty cavities (see Figure 3, p. 22). SPUF absorbs water very slowly and was undamaged by flooding. SPUF did not retain moisture; thus it did not reduce the flood damage resistance of the materials around it.
Interior Wallboard
When conventional paper-faced gypsum board was used with fiberglass batt insulation on exterior walls, the gypsum board lost about 50% of its flexural strength; at the end of the drying period, it remained wetter than the gypsum board on uninsulated interior walls. Interior gypsum board walls dried out and regained flexural strength during the test period.The gypsum board could be restored to preflood conditions with cosmetic restoration (see the article cited above for details).
Conventional drywall supported mold growth during several tests, but it was cleaned and sanitized, which eliminated the mold stains. Fiberock interior wallboard, a non-water-resistant gypsum product without paper facings by USG, regained about 70%–78% of its initial strength when tested (see Table 1), and it dried out during the 30-day drying period.Although it supported mold growth, it could be cleaned, sanitized, and restored.
Fiberock exterior sheathing was applied to some interior walls. It regained 82%–87% of its initial strength on an exterior wall insulated with SPUF and 101%–130% of its initial strength on an interior, hollow-cavity wall. (The strength actually increased in one instance after exposure to flooding. This happens occasionally with gypsum products, since complete hydration of all of the gypsum does not always occur in manufacturing, and subsequent exposure to water completes the process.) The Fiberock exterior sheathing applied to interior walls also dried out during the drying period. It did not support mold growth and its surfaces were easily cleaned and restored.
Wall Finishes
Ceramic tile performed well under flood conditions and showed no longterm deterioration. Both latex flat paint and latex semigloss enamel paint peeled, blistered, and stained. Mold grew on both types of paint. High- and low-permeability paints were tested. Both types of paint had to be sanded and new coats of paint applied to restore the walls to preflood conditions.We also compared waterbased flat latex and oil-based enamel paint.The water-based latex flaked and blistered. Oil-based flat enamel paint performed better than any other paint that we tested. It flaked and blistered very little and was much easier to restore than other paints. Of all the paints tested, oil-based flat enamel paint was found to be the most flood damage resistant.However,we did not completely investigate the impact of oil-based enamel on the drying of adjacent materials and systems in this testing. Vinyl wall covering blistered, peeled, and debonded after flooding. It damaged the surface of the gypsum board, and it may inhibit the drying of the substrate or wall system.
Exterior Doors
Exterior wood-paneled doors in a wood frame, and exterior prehung metal-clad doors in a wood frame were stained slightly, but could be washed and restored. Foam-filled fiberglass and foam-filled metal were restored to preflood conditions with minimal effort. The fiberglass and metal doors used in the second modules were reused in the third modules and once again were easily restored.
Interior Doors
All the interior doors that we tested were severely stained after flooding and drying, and some warped, split, and peeled. Considering the relatively low cost of replacement,we did not consider it economically feasible to restore any of these doors.
All vinyl and aluminum window frames could be restored to preflood conditions with minimal effort.
Floor Structure
The sealed-concrete floor slab in all the slab-on-grade modules remained undamaged during and after flooding. The wood subflooring retained very high moisture content throughout the drying period when unfaced fiberglass batt insulation was installed underneath the subflooring. (Two 8 inch x 18 inch foundation vents were installed on opposite walls in the test modules. These were open throughout the drying period.The area of these vents exceeded code minimum requirements for a structure of this size, 64 ft2.) When no floor insulation was used, the subflooring returned to preflood moisture levels during the drying period.Wood subflooring and framing insulated with fiberglass batts could experience long-term moisture-related problems.At press time another module was being tested using spray polyurethane insulation under the subflooring.
Floor Finishes
Ceramic tile and quarry tile performed very well under flooding conditions and required only cleaning to be restored.All carpeting and padding became dirty and smelly after flooding. It also retained large amounts of moisture, which would slow the overall drying rate throughout the house.Even if the carpet is able to withstand the flood, it should be removed for cleaning and drying, and to promote drying within the home. Simulated wood flooring, a composite wood fiber and plastic material,warped and had open joints when it was left in place after flooding.This flooring had much less warping and shrinkage when it was removed,washed, and stacked to dry after flooding, but the process of removal damaged some of the pieces.
Foundation Vents
The operable flood vents (Smart Vent) were closed prior to flooding and opened by themselves during the filling and draining of the floodwater. They operated as designed.These vents were blocked open throughout the drying period.The crawlspace humidity reached 100% and remained high during the drying period. This humidity level is unacceptable in the long term, since it could contribute to both mold and wood decay.We believe that the high humidity level in the crawlspace resulted from the test module being placed in a basin that collected a significant amount of rainwater throughout the drying period. In order to keep it from providing a path for mold to enter the house, the crawlspace area must be effectively sealed from the interior of the building.
Procedures for Responding to Flood Damage
Along with evaluating materials for their flood-damage-resistant properties,we tested the effectiveness of some procedures for dealing with flood damage.
Punching Holes in Walls
Punching holes above the floor molding of the interior walls does not drain any water, nor does it dry the wall any faster, especially if floodwater has receded for several hours. In some instances, if holes are not punched in the walls, the gypsum board can easily be repaired and restored. Punching holes in gypsum board walls to promote drainage is not an appropriate flood recovery procedure.
The cleaning protocols that we followed used a clear-water rinse that did remove some dirt and staining, but not mold.A second washing with soap and water on selected materials (vinyl and fiber cement siding, fiberglass doors and window frames) did restore them to preflood conditions.After sanitizing with a solution of bleach (trisodium phosphate) and water, most elements that were not physically damaged could be restored to preflood conditions.
Severe mold growth occurred in the first tests when no attempt was made to clean or sanitize surfaces during the drying period. Mold growth also occurred on exposed interior surfaces in most subsequent tests, and efforts were made to sanitize surfaces and remove mold.After sanitization, there was no visible mold for the remainder of the testing period. Although no mold reappeared throughout the test period,we cannot verify the long-term elimination of mold.
After demolition and autopsy of these units, it was determined that there was very little or no mold growth in the nonexposed (hidden) portions of the structure that were not sanitized. Sanitizing appeared to work on the exposed surfaces of the modules to eliminate mold growth, and it is therefore a recommended procedure in the restoration of flood-damaged homes. Sanitizing the nonexposed portions of the structure for mold control does not appear warranted, based on what we saw during the autopsy.
All exterior siding tested could be restored, as could interior wallboards when SPUF was the insulation used. Ceramic tile floors and the sealed-concrete slab were easily restored.All windows and exterior doors tested could be restored.
Dry Floodproofing
We did not achieve dry floodproofing in two attempts (see photo).While the door and window dams that were designed and built were effective in preventing the entry of water through doors and windows,water entered the units through other paths, such as the joint between the interior partition and the exterior walls at floor level.Although the joint between the sill plate and the concrete slab had been caulked,water entered there as well.Additional steps were taken in the second attempt; the external joint between the sill and the slab and other potential leak pathways on the exterior were sealed. Despite these efforts,floodwater entered the modules. Based on these failures, dry floodproofing is not considered an appropriate approach to flood damage resistance.
More Work Is Needed
The primary purpose of our project was to identify and evaluate materials, systems, and methods that will make the envelope of a house more resistant to flood damage. These materials, systems, and methods are primarily intended for use to repair houses subsequent to flooding. Then if the house floods again, damage will be reduced and restoration costs and efforts will be minimized.
Besides identifying flood-resistant materials, the purpose of our project was to develop a method to collect representative, measured, and reproducible data on how various materials and systems respond to flooding conditions, so that future recommendations for repairing flood-damaged houses can be based on scientific data. This methodology can then be used to develop a standard test procedure to certify which building materials and systems are resistant to flood damage; the use of these materials and systems for repairing and rebuilding flood-damaged homes in flood-prone areas could be required by future building codes.
A certifying test procedure must be developed and adopted by a certifying agency before the identification of materials as "flood damage resistant" will satisfy the requirement for the use of such materials by a building code group or local jurisdiction.This project, and other related activities at ORNL and Tuskegee, are contributing to the development of that certifying test procedure.

Interpretive Handbook
80999 :
Lamotrigine, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Lamotrigine (Lamictal) is approved for therapy of bipolar I disorder and a wide variety of seizure disorders including Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and partial seizures. Its many off-label uses include treatment of migraine, trigeminal neuralgia, and treatment-refractory depression. Lamotrigine inhibits glutamate release (an excitatory amino acid) and voltage-sensitive sodium channels to stabilize neuronal membranes; it also weakly inhibits the 5-HT3 (serotonin) receptor.
Lamotrigine oral bioavailability is very high (approximately 98%).The drug is metabolized by glucuronic acid conjugation to inactive metabolites. The half-life is 25 to 33 hours in adults, but decreases with concurrent use of phenytoin or carbamazepine (13-14 hours), and increases with concomitant valproic acid therapy (59-70 hours), renal dysfunction, or hepatic impairment. The therapeutic range is relatively wide, 2.5 to 15 mcg/mL for most individuals. Common adverse effects are dizziness, ataxia, blurred or double vision, nausea, or vomiting.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Monitoring serum concentration of lamotrigine
Assessing compliance
Adjusting lamotrigine dose in patients receiving other anticonvulsant drugs which interact pharmacokinetically with lamotrigine
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The serum concentration should be interpreted in the context of the patient's clinical response and may provide useful information in patients showing poor response (noncompliance?) or adverse effects, particularly when lamotrigine is co-administered with other anticonvulsant drugs.
While most patients show response to the drug when the trough concentration is in the range of 2.5 to 15.0 mcg/mL, and show signs of toxicity when the peak serum concentration is >20 mcg/mL, some patients can tolerate peak concentrations as high as 70 mcg/mL.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Serum separator tube acceptable but serum should be removed from gel within 24 hours.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Patients receiving therapeutic doses usually have lamotrigine concentrations of 2.5-15.0 mcg/mL.

Charlie Sykes: Sykes Writes
Union Thug Update
A bit more on the unionista activist who wrote that taxpayers needed to "GET YOUR F***ING CHECBOOK OUT!!!" His name is Brian Piech and he is listed as a sergeant in the Department of Corrections making $65,927 a year. He is also the author of this email to State Rep. Robin Vos... written on AFSCME stationery.
Had the pleasure of reading the story about the beer dumped on your head in Mad-town. Great read. Best use of beer I've seen in a long time. Did he include the glass mug with the delivery?
All I can say is, welcome to the future of Wisconsin politics. Enjoy it. This is the way things will be, because we don't forgive or forget well. You guys created this radical mess, now you can deal with it. The only thing wrong with the whole incident is that your other loudmouth Republi-con cronie Van Wanggaard wasn't there getting one over his squash too.
I don't know when you Walker disciples will ever wake up and get it, but right now wouldn't be too soon.
What is with this radical right-wing rampage you continue to support? What is wrong with you people? Did your moms and dads not show you enough attention as kids? Were you such dorks in high school that you no had no dates for the dances, so now you have to abuse your political powers to finally be noticed by someone? ...
Brian Piech
P.S. - someone please tell that big mouth pro-rich River Hills radical Alberta Darling to shut her fat yap and stop talking over Lena Taylor in the assembly. Darling's ugly enough without opening her yap. If anyone should be removed from their job, it's HER. Thanks.

You can weld Aluminum with a mig, and they're DC.
You tig aluminum with AC.
People can apparently use DC to tig aluminum, but it has to be super clean, it's not common, and I don't know much about it other than having heard it.
You can also stick weld aluminum. I did it once in welding school and don't remember if it was AC or DC.
if you are starting out AC TIG is the best way to go for TIG. as said it can be done in DC but requires different GAS. along with some other issues.
you can also MIG it or O/A weld it.
the application would make a big difference in the choice of processes. thin aluminum dose not MIG well.
what are you looking to weld ?? thickness ?
welcome to the site.thanks for the help
hope i helped
feel free to shoot me an e-mail direct i have time to chat. email@example.com
summer is here, plant a tree. if you don't have space or time to plant one sponsor some one else to plant one for you. a tree is an investment in our planet, help it out.

INDIANAPOLIS (Nov. 28, 2012) – The Indiana Economic Development Corporation announced today that this year it has already worked with 220 companies that have made decisions to expand or establish new business operations in Indiana, outpacing the 219 decisions by companies announced at year-end last year and every other year on record.
"With nearly five weeks left in the year, 2012 has already broken the state's all-time record for number of deals won," said Dan Hasler, Secretary of Commerce and chief executive officer of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. "This is especially remarkable considering the ongoing concerns over the 'fiscal cliff' that have caused many companies to curtail investment plans."
The 220 companies anticipate investing $3.6 billion in their Indiana operations and creating 20,866 new jobs in the coming years. These new positions pay an expected average hourly wage of $22.35, above the state's current hourly wage of $19.66. Meanwhile, the average amount of state conditional tax incentives offered to companies on a per job basis is $8,916, down from around $37,000 in previous administrations.
"Under Governor Daniels' leadership, this administration has taken pride in tackling challenging but common sense issues to make Indiana the most sought-after business location in the country," Hasler said. "From its right-to-work status to its falling corporate and property taxes to its AAA credit rating, these results are proof that Indiana works for business."
Today's announcement was driven by companies like Magnetation, Amazon, The Finish Line, Appirio and Toyota, all of which chose the Hoosier State this year as the location for multi-million dollar investments and the creation of hundreds of new jobs. From Advanced Metal Technologies' decision to locate 350 new jobs in Jeffersonville to Sweetwater Sound's plans to expand its Fort Wayne headquarters adding 316 new jobs, communities across the state are welcoming new career opportunities for Hoosiers every day.
"Indiana is on a hot streak and we have no plans to slow down. We expect many more announcements in the month ahead and look forward to placing a big exclamation point on the eight years of success built by this administration," said Hasler.
About IEDC
Created by Governor Mitch Daniels in 2005 to replace the former Department of Commerce, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation is governed by a 12-member board chaired by Governor Daniels. Dan Hasler serves as the chief executive officer of the IEDC.
The IEDC oversees programs enacted by the General Assembly including tax credits, workforce training grants and public infrastructure assistance. All tax credits are performance-based. Therefore, companies must first invest in Indiana through job creation or capital investment before incentives are paid. A company who does not meet its full projections only receives a percentage of the incentives proportional to its actual investment. For more information about IEDC, visit www.iedc.in.gov.

The disreputable printer Jemmy Pitts was highlighted in the post for Twelfth Night 2013, but he was not the only no-good early nineteenth-century job printer in the seedy Seven Dials district near Covent Garden in London's West End. Seven Dials marked the convergence of Little and Great White Lyon streets (now Mercer), Little and Great Earl (now Earlham), Little and Great St. Andrews (now Monmouth), and Queen (now Shorts Garden).
Seven Dials was also home to Jemmy Catnach (1791-1841), who was vilified for catering to the reading public's insatiable appetite for rude ballads, accounts of violent crimes, sensational divorce cases, and the like. He was the subject of the chapter "Catnachery, Chapbooks & Children's Books" in Percy Muir's Victorian Illustrated Books (1971). Muir, who knew how to turn a phrase, damned Catnach for having printed his stuff with "mean and old typefaces" and adorning them with blocks "worn to a degree of indecipherability that hid their almost complete irrelevance to the text they were supposed to illustrate."
In Cotsen there's a stout volume consisting of thirty-odd pamphlets, many issued by Catnach, which make a liar out of Muir. Bound in are several titles in the so-called Catnach "series" of Large Books. Here is a typical list, from the rear cover for Little Tom Tucker, [ca. 1835?].
The advertisement doesn't given any clues as to what the pamphlets looked like. If Muir is to be believed, it whould be taken for granted that a jobbing printer like Catnach will always produce a shabby product with tell-tale signs of recycling other printers' cast-off type and blocks.
Given Catnach's high marks for slipshod design, these delightfully exuberant covers on the nursery favorites in the Large Books come as a shock. And not a broken font in sight.
The style of the typefaces and wood-engravedblocks suggest the Large Books must have been issued relatively late in Catnach's long career.
But once a rogue, always a rogue, even one vying for respectability. The rear cover of another Large Book in the Cotsen volume is illustrated with a block John Bewick made for the frontispiece of Richard Johnson's False Alarms (London: E. Newbery, ca. 1787). And where did old Jemmy come by the block? Was it purchased from John Harris, Elizabeth Newbery's successor, or his son, John junior?

Our Vengeance Falls
15.10.13Our Vengeance FallsThis is an album that we planned and talked about for over two years. It is a turning point just as every album before it has been, but possibly one of the most pivotal. Heavy music is a constantly evolving target with trends coming and going and each album cycle begins with a different musical landscape; be it a changing industry, different tastes, or new listeners. These are intangibles that you can't possibly write a record around or predict with any certainty, so what we do is visualize where we are as a band at that moment and plan what we want to do & hear.The music for Vengeance Falls came together over the course of touring the world for In Waves. Almost every song on the album can be tied to a different city or country around the world. Places as diverse as Poughkeepsie, NY, and Madrid, Spain. You all had more to do with this record then you will ever know. We never feel more inspired then when we are sharing our time with all our Trivium family around the world. We find when touring and playing music every day that we get inspired by our surroundings to create new music.We wrote it through all the ups and downs of daily tour life, after a great show or when we were counting the days to get home. The original album title Wake may have even fit our head space more throughout the early writing, in the thick of a show after show run. By the half-way point of recording however, we changed our minds to Vengeance Falls as that became the perfect fit for us as the record title; a band very confident in where we are at and what we stood for with our music.With the momentum from In Waves, taking an extended break after touring to write the next record was not a possibility.We had about 8 weeks between finishing our touring and starting pre-production for VFalls.For Matt, long plane rides turned into a great time for writing lyrics. Our hotel rooms on days off began to look like a mini studio, with guitars and cables strewn all around. Dressing rooms became the spot where we would figure out harmonies and show each other new riffs on practice amps. Most modern metal bands can relate to this, it's a constant cycle that seems to overlap more and more each time around.After each tour and new demo, it became clear we needed to be concise musically; be dynamic without going off on wild tangents for the sake of showing off. There was need for a clear vision that summed up where we have been on our previous five albums while still feeling new and unique enough to make an impact. Playing a wide array of songs from each of our albums every night helped us to get in touch with those elements as we forged ahead. Through trial and error we found that we created songs that were direct, powerful, melodic and to the point.Balance is what we were striving for most on this record. Balance between the heaviness and the melody, the technicality and progressiveness, the groove and the speed. A lot of the music has roots on some of the things we started on Shogun and In Waves and our focus was to create our fusion of power & melody.Then the touring ended and with it the writing. Off to Austin, Texas we went.We needed not only a fifth member in the producer's chair, but an objective ear that may hear things differently then we do and who isn't afraid to give us their honest opinions and critiques. Just as Jason, Nick, and Colin before him, we needed someone to help us bring our ideas together and to life. David not only fit all of those qualities as a producer, but he also had the experience of being the one on the other side of the microphone. There is a pressure of living up to expectations or exceeding them with each subsequent release, but having someone like David at the helm of the project, someone who has been in our shoes, made us even more at ease making this record.There wasn't a moment on the making of Vengeance Falls that wasn't pushed as far as it could go. Sonically we needed this to be our biggest sounding record yet, a challenge that Colin Richardson and Carl Bown both exceeded in the mix. Again the balancing between the sound of our past albums and the thicker low end that this record called for was the key. Not many modern heavy records have a lot of low end but being able to feel this record punch you in the gut at loud volumes was important to us.And visually, our cover artist Brent White made a cover that not only captures the energy of the album, but inspired us to bring it to life on tour. If you have seen any of the Vengeance Falls live shows you can see we re-create our album cover visually on stage.We really hope you enjoy the record we made for you. I can assure you we put every ounce of heart and soul into Vengeance Falls, along with everyone that has been apart of the recording, mixing, and mastering. We are eternally grateful that you have allowed us to continue to not only exist as a band but to grow and evolve into the people we are today.Sincerely,Paolo GregolettoTRIVIUM10

Been listening to you guys since day dot of Trivium's demo! I have loved every album you guys have brought out. Vengeance Falls to me is a fucking masterpiece. Every song has such a good hook in it somewhere. I have never been this obsessed over your music before until this release. Thank you for your hard work and contribution to my love for music and inspiration for writing music! I believe in a religion called 'Metal' and you guys are my gods!
I love the album and the
I love the album and the continued evolution. Not quite my favourite as I find overall it doesn't have those symphonic, perfectly musically energised and technically epic moments that Shogun had. Nothing to laugh at though. 8.5/10
Loving the new album! It's
Loving the new album! It's amazing, you guys did an awesome job. Don't listen to the haters, they are just jealous you are kicking ass while doing your thing. I look forward to seeing you in Des Moines in November!
You did a f....ing great
You did a f....ing great evolution. In my opinion this is a masterpiece! Some of those detractor who only believe in the past as shogun and ascendancy...(in my top ten albums ever) are not the majority. Vfalls pass in my top 5 ever without a dought. Just after some Metallica's.... Draimen this draimen that.... What the fuck.... Your melody never been so cluthch and powerful than now...so. Every song as their moments, guit, solo, bass parts melody, great groove, and fucking awesome drum.... I wish you guys the fame cause this album prove something..that you're not the basement shit hole band that some douchebag like to keep for themeselve but a worldwide band who work their ass to bring us.............SOME FUCKING METAL... 9.8/10. Your show in september at Montreal was epic!!!
Well, criticism is always
Well, criticism is always natural, whether you evolve as musicians or always stay the same (in which case, the same people who criticize would blame you for "lack of creativity"... )
In my opinion, the live reaction to Brave This Storm and Strife is an excellent meter for the fans' appreciation of the new album, and personally I'm loving it!!! Keep up the good work! ;)
I, as well as a lot of
I, as well as a lot of others, would say that you have succeeded in what you set out to do. This album has the same vibe as In Waves, but in a more precise, educated manner that gives us the impression you guys have improved yourselves greatly

Is there an addon, or a way to find out which of my addons are broken and/or are no longer being worked on without checking them all separately? My bugsack thing keeps filling with errors, and I'm sure a lot of my addons are outdated and abandoned.
Is there an addon, or a way to find out which of my addons are broken and/or are no longer being worked on without checking them all separately? My bugsack thing keeps filling with errors, and I'm sure a lot of my addons are outdated and abandoned.
I'm the minister of mistakes. I'm the shaman of sh*tstorms. If there was a f**k-up pope. I'd have a 3 foot hat!
When arguing online I like to use big words. Because by the time they're done googling it, they have forgotten what their point was.
I'm both a clicker and a fan of the default UI (save any convincing...I'm an old dog and I don't learn new tricks, I'm fine with both)
Currently the default UI has 5 action bars...standard, bottom left, bottom right, right 1 and right 2
I'd love to have another bottom left bar...or even move the right 1 bar to the bottom left (assuming it went from verticle to horizontal)
Anyone know an addon for this (I don't want something like bartender as I like where everything is located in the default UI...just an additional bar)
I think the addon is called Elvui =)
Nice Greetz Allishia
Hi! I'm looking for an addon where you hover over an item that you have equipped and then under it you see the item inspected on a window.
That's all I can come up with :P. Thanks!
Good afternoon. I am attempting to do a complete UI overhaul, hoping to become more efficient in raiding. I have two questions, thus far. Please reference "The Spirit Kings 25 Man Heroic Mogu'Shan Vaults Guide" - Fatboss (YouTube).
1) Around the <0:05> mark, I am noticing the portraits used for both the character and boss. I believe having them visibly centered by my character would definitely limit the amount of "eyeballing" that I do now. Could someone please let me know what is being used? I am a Mage, so I am hoping that the intermittent icons can be replaced.
2) Around the <3:50> mark, I wanted to know the addon that was used to show the boss abilities that were incoming. That would prove invaluable to me, as I am attempting to improve coordination of certain cooldowns with raid mechanics. It seems like NeedToKnow, but I am not familiar with being able to set it up to show enemy abilities/cooldowns.
2: Tracking boss abilities is done with Deadly Boss Mods(DBM) or BigWigs.
2) This is most likely a boss mod. Either BigWigs or Deadly Boss Mods.
EDIT: Damn you Mr. bOOURNS!
bOOURNS & Tellytop - Thank you so much for a very swift response. I was talking to a former mentor of mine, and it turns out that I had the DBM option already enabled, but I was being a noob (completely ignoring them because of BigBrother's spacing). I simply disabled the other add-on, used the "move me" function and I think I am definitely in a better place. Going to try my hand at unit frames now. Wish me luck!
What's the addon in the middle of the screen (the five icons - bloodthirst, raging blow, c.smash etc) which shows the cooldowns and when the ability is usable ?!
Since i am not playing warrior i only looked for it for 1min or so
is for arms.
You can look for the fury version or config clcinfo to look like that for fury.
Tho there are many addons to achieve the same result
Ps.Older versions where you can get codes etc to make your own:
I am looking to do some few minor UI tweaks. basically moving some default blizzard stuff around and stuff like that.
Right now I am looking for a good way to move around with the achievement frame. By this i mean some way to see where im actually moving it, rather than having to earn an achievement everytime i wanna see if i got it how i like... Other than this, i might want to move loot frame, won item frame, and i cant remember the last one. But basic of this last part is just some way to make it visible so i can see what im working with. I tried /script AchievementAlertFrame1:Show(); without luck.
EDIT: Thank you Treeston for quick and usefull reply, worked with no problems.
Also looking for someone with Pitbull, who has managed to get ThinOutline implemented, or just any person who got an idea about a way to do this. Thanks in advance!

Is there any addon for Enhancement Shamans for tracking Maelstrom Weapon stacking? WoW's Powerauras and that tiny stacking icon in the corner of the screen aren't visible enough. I'd especially want to be notified on which stack I'm on as I think I'm casting Lightning Bolt/CL too often or when I'm having wrong amount of stacks sometimes.
Get Power Auras for start. Make a new entry of the buff fill in the required info and you will have your aura on your screen. You can adjust both position and size, either the icon or the stack counter. For example what i have done in my shaman is to enable text auras for icon w/o writing anything into it, and enlarging the stack count. So I get one big number showing the stack of the buff and nothing else.
Hey guys
In this video from fatboss ill like to know what addon the druid is useing to show his own health unitfream/target? hope you can help me! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIl_oHtzKrA

Inhabitat reader Joann Plockova writes to tell us about Rome's newest attraction – the world's first hotel made entirely of garbage! The Save The Beach Hotel ain't pretty, but neither will Europe's beaches be if its citizens don't start cleaning up. Designed by German artist H.A. Shult as part of a publicity campaign by the environmental group Save The Beach, this trashy hotel is made of 12,000 kilograms of debris collected from Europe's beaches.
Save The Beach hotel makes a very poignant gesture towards a very real environmental problem, and we couldn't help seeing a certain DADAist streak in the idea. In a BBC interview Mr. Shult explains "It's made of garbage because where ever you go on this planet there is garbage. We are living in a time of garbage on the planet which we have only rented." The shock value is carried inside, where the five guest hotel features walls encrusted with artifacts that have been disinfected.
The Hotel is not made completely of garbage — the structure is actually a very modern system prefabricated in a German factory, and the garbage wall panels were pre-built as well (here is a video showing how they made it.) It is only fitting that the intention of the DADA art movement — to shock and disorient — is still alive and well at the service of environmental awareness. Unfortunately, they don't take reservations as the building is only there temporarily.

Bullheaded, crossbeam-chomping persistence: fourteen years, nine full lengths, many singles and EPs, innumerable tours, wild fluctuations in the public appetite for their work. Thats not to demand that Silkworm be called forward for some sort of alt-culture valor award-- their concentrated, seemingly effortless forces arises from dogged pursuit of certain values that most current bands either dont care about or fudge in the studio environment, namely: tightness, heaviness, instrumental command.
Silkworm do care, and dont/wont fudge.

Medford, Ore. -- Jackson County will receive $6 million in federal timber payments within the next few weeks. The amount is something County Commissioner Doug Breidenthal called pennies compared to what the county used to get.
"It does not provide any long term funding solutions," he said.
Commissioner Breidenthal said $1.4 million from the federal government will go to roads. The other $4.6 million will go to the county's general fund.
"This will help keep us afloat. It will help keep our libraries open," Breidenthal said.
Several other Oregon counties will receive payments as well. The money paid to counties to stop logging on O&C lands, once owned by the now defunct Oregon and California railroad.
But he knows the payments may not last.
"We were supposed to be back working in the woods by now, but it's tied up even more than it's ever been so these dollars are critical to counties moving forward," he said.
The search for stable long term funding is something local counties will continue. Breidenthal said 10 to 15 years ago the county was receiving an excess of $25 million. These days, without a long term plan for our forests, local counties will take what they can get.

Take a deep breath, Cedar Point fans.
Cedar Fair's CEO said Dec. 17 visitors to the amusement park won't notice many changes under new ownership.
"If we didn't announce this, more than likely the public wouldn't even know it took place," Cedar Fair CEO Dick Kinzel said.
The park will complete work on its new attraction for 2010, the Shoot the Rapids water ride, and investment in the park will continue, Kinzel said. There will be no effect on ticket holders.
"We have about $90 million planned for capital next year across our 11 properties," Kinzel said, referring to Cedar Fair's spending for rides and improvements at its amusement parks in the U.S. and Canada, including Cedar Point. "None of that is going to be disrupted."
He said he also plans to go forward with upgrading a section of Hotel Breakers. Work on that section, built in 1926, was supposed to be done last year but was postponed.
"This is our crown jewel," Kinzel said, referring to Cedar Point. "This is where the majority of the capital investment goes."
Kinzel said the company still has a tremendous population base in Ohio and 17 roller coasters at Cedar Point — more than anywhere else.
The park markets to about 22 million people.
"Hopefully, when the economy turns around, we'll get back to the attendance numbers we were at back in the mid-90s," he said.
Kinzel said he doesn't think Cedar Fair's new owners will force employee cuts that would impact service to visitors at Cedar Point.
"We had to make a lot of cuts during the operating season and there will be no cuts, no staffing changes as a result of this merger," he said. "There's really no other means of cutting without jeopardizing service or quality. That's a point I'm going to stress today with our employees."
All contracts will be fulfilled for vendors who do business with Cedar Point, he said.
Cedar Point will also continue to be involved in the community and be an asset to the city, he said.
Kinzel said he expects Apollo will allow Cedar Fair to continue investing in Cedar Point, keeping the amusement park fresh and exciting.
"Hopefully we can grow Cedar Point, bring more people in and continue to add rides and attractions," Kinzel said. "I know we're going to have to add rides and attractions, because this is a capital-intensive business."
Here's what commenters had to say:

They would have to bring back the rotor and call it Obama's Economy Ride, half way through and the bottom falls out. And finally they would have to bring back the boat ride. Instead of the old prospector warning of indian country, they could have sarah palin skinning a hide warning of conservative country ahead and the boat captain can shoot at likenesses of Sean Hannity,Glenn Beck,Michelle Maulkin,and Bill Oreilly.

" Kinzel actually thinks attendance will someday be what it was in the mid-90's? Where will all those people come from and how will they get here? We are in a jobless recovery, by Obama's statements. Now, let me see, I don't have a job. I have a mortgage, taxes, utitlies, food and clothes for the kids and grandkids and gasoline (who knows how high that will be in 10 years?) And now I have to pay out the nose for healthcare premiums even though I won't be allowed to see a doctor for my condition because I will be too old and my condition won't be one that's coverable. Most of the aging baby boomers will be too old, in hoverrounds or just uninterested in attending CP. No one after the baby boomers will ever have enough money to live on, much less be able to take an expensive daytrip to CP. Baby boomers can remember the good ol' days of taking a ferry boat ride over and walking around for $3.00 a day, buying a charburger and Berardi's fries and then taking the ferry boat ride back to town again. There was a lot to do and see, good exercise, a nice boat ride and an affordable way to spend a day off. All Kinzel ever saw was dollar signs!!! And the signs of the times are changing! Under a socialist government, there will be no more CP! No more money pouring into his coffers! "

It's all too easy to talk about the struggles of America's inner cities and become fixated on symptoms like crime and violence, but how do you actually address these issues? Step one is looking at the problem holistically.
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King once said, "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." Meaning we will always have disappointments, but we must hold onto the idea that we shall overcome. Hope is the one key ingredient to successful urban renewal. I don't think people are violent — I think circumstances create people who act violently. Unless we deal with the root cause we can arrest all of the known "bad guys," but the system without change will create a new set of bad actors.
A holistic approach is necessary. Planners must work in an interdisciplinary fashion including the community. We must accept the fact that diverse populations understand their own needs and can offer significant contributions to the planning process. Therefore, true collaboration is imperative for short-term and sustained success in building a healthy city. Looking at community violence without considering issues like poverty, unemployment, mental health, education and other ills that plague urban inner cities is tantamount to a dog chasing his tail.
Community collaboration is necessary. We need your input, your energy and your commitment to change. We can create a movement that can't be ignored. Our next community meeting will take place April 12, 6 p.m. at Primetime Community Center, 3701 S. Calhoun St., Fort Wayne. Please commit to being part of the change. We can save our city — but it will take a village.

hey, before i start this thread i would like to make sure mention that yes ductile iron and cast iron are not the same(they are similar).... cast iron is very strong and has basically zero malleability, ductile iron (well the name says it and also known as nodular iron) is very similar to cast iron but has the addition of magnesium which makes it much tougher and malleable.
so basically i dont know if anyone has ever welded ductile iron, but if you have your comments will be appreciated and if haven't well some day you might have this problem so it could be interesting to read... Now i have recently started welding this material with an arc welder and 92% nickel based electrodes (z308). it took me a while to find out what electrodes to use since the cast electrodes just wouldnt work... they would crack wight down the center of the weld or at the foot of the weld... so once i got the proper electrodes everything went well but now i have too much production and cant keep up with the arc welder so i am going with the GMAW/FCAW but i have no idea what electrode/wire to use.... i have read most people use the NI55FC-G or royal 44-30 premium nickel wires but these are for cast iron and cast iron rods/electrodes crack with Ductile Iron... anyone has ever worked/GMAW OR FCAW welded Ductile Iron before??

mig/flux core welding Ductile Iron
Typical Applications:
Royal 44-30 is excellent for making repairs on all ductile and malleable irons. Royal 44-30 is also useful for the welding of other high-strength nodular and gray cast irons where maximum strength and ductility are required. The addition of manganese provides superior wetting and crack- resistant weldability on even the most difficult cast iron applications. The Royal 44-30 is also used for surfacing to improve wear resistance or for buildup. Also best for welding steel or stainless steel to cast iron.
