Congresswoman Maxine Waters
Congresswoman Maxine Waters is considered by many to be one of the most powerful women in American politics today. She has gained a reputation as a fearless and outspoken advocate for women, children, people of color and poor people.
Elected in November 1998 to her fifth term in the House of Representatives with an overwhelming 89 percent of the votes in the 35th District of California, Congresswoman Maxine Waters represents a large part of South Central Los Angeles and the diverse cities of Gardena, Hawthorne and Inglewood.
In 1997-98, Rep. Waters served a two-year term as the Chair of the 39-member Congressional Black Caucus (CBC). She formulated the comprehensive Agenda for Black America-an agenda for justice, equality and fairness-which outlined CBC's legislative and programmatic priorities. Those initiatives included a commitment to drug-free, safe and healthy communities; educational and technological opportunities; and job creation and economic development. The priorities also encompassed voting and civil rights; environmental justice; the protection of the most vulnerable Americans; and the promotion of opportunities for all Americans.
For the 106th Congress, Rep. Waters has been appointed to the influential leadership position of Chief Deputy Whip of the Democratic Party. She continues to be a member of the House Committee on Banking and Financial Services and the Ranking Member of the Domestic and International Monetary Policy Subcommittee. She is also on banking subcommittees on General Oversight and Investigations and on Housing and Community Oportunity.
Rep. Waters also continues to serve on the Committee on the Judiciary and its Subcommittee on the Constitution. During the House impeachment proceedings, Congresswoman Waters was an outspoken advocate for fairness. She criticized Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's ruthless investigative methods and condemned the House Republicans' unfair and partisan tactics in both the Judiciary Committee and on the House floor.
Prior to her election to the House of Representatives in 1990, Congresswoman Waters had already attracted national attention for her no-nonsense, no-holds-barred style of politics. During 14 years in the California State Assembly, she rose to the powerful position of Democratic Caucus Chair. Early in her Assembly career, she worked with others on the strategy that made Willie Brown, Jr., the Speaker of the Assembly.
She was responsible for some of the boldest legislation California has ever seen. Among her legislative accomplishments were: the largest divestment of state pension funds from businesses involved in South Africa; landmark affirmative action legislation opening up state procurement and contracting opportunities to women and minority-owned businesses; and the introduction of the nation's first plant closure law.
She also created the nation's first statewide Child Abuse Prevention Training Program, gained passage of a law to prohibit police strip searches for nonviolent misdemeanors, and promoted legislation to prevent toxic chemical catastrophes.
Congresswoman Waters was a leader in the movement to end Apartheid and assure one-person, one-vote democracy in South Africa, working closely with African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela. She founded the Los Angeles Free South Africa Movement and was arrested in a protest against the Apartheid regime. In 1994, she was on the official U.S. delegation to Nelson Mandela's inauguration as President of a free South Africa, and in March 1998, she accompanied President Clinton on a visit to five African countries.
Maxine Waters was born in St. Louis, Missouri, the fifth of 13 children reared by a single mother. She began working at age 13 in factories and segregated restaurants. After moving to Los Angeles, she worked in garment factories and at the telephone company. She attended California State University at Los Angeles, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree. She began her career in public service as a teacher and a volunteer coordinator in the Head Start program. Ms. Waters took part in many political campaigns, leafleting, and knocking on doors. She later became the chief deputy to a Los Angeles city councilman before being elected to the California State Assembly in 1976.
She is married to Sidney Williams, the former U.S. Ambassador to the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. She is the mother of two adult children, Edward and Karen, and has two grandchildren.
Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm
Shirley St. Hill Chisholm was born on November 30, 1924 in Brooklyn, New York to Charles and Ruby St. Hill. Her father was from British Guiana and her mother was from Barbados. In 1927, Shirley was sent to Barbados to live with her maternal grandmother. She received a good education from the British school system, which she later credited with providing her with a strong academic background.
In 1934, she rejoined her parents in New York. Shirley excelled in academics at Girls High School in Brooklyn from which she graduated in 1942. After graduation she enrolled in Brooklyn College where she majored in sociology. Shirley encountered racism at Brooklyn College and fought against it. When the black students at Brooklyn College were denied admittance to a social club, Shirley formed an alternative one. She graduated in 1946 with honors. During this time, it was difficult for black college graduates to obtain employment commensurate to their education. After being rejected by many companies, she obtained a job at the Mt. Calvary Childcare Center in Harlem.
In 1949, she married Conrad Chisholm, a Jamaican who worked as a private investigator. Shirley and her husband participated in local politics, helping form the Bedford-Stuyvesant political League. In addition to participating in politics, Chisholm worked in the field of day care until 1959. In 1960, she started the Unity Democratic Club. The Unity Club was instrumental in mobilizing black and Hispanic voters.
In 1964 Chisholm ran for a state assembly seat. She won and served in the New York General Assembly from 1964 to 1968. During her tenure in the legislature, she proposed a bill to provide state aid to day-care centers and voted to increase funding for schools on a per-pupil basis. In 1968, After finishing her term in the legislature, Chisholm campaigned to represent New York's Twelfth Congressional District. Her campaign slogan was "Fighting Shirley Chisholm--Unbought and Unbossed." She won the election and became the first African American woman elected to Congress.
During her first term in Congress, Chisholm hired an all-female staff and spoke out for civil rights, women's rights, the poor and against the Vietnam War. In 1970, she was elected to a second term. She was a sought-after public speaker and cofounder of the National Organization for Women (NOW). She remarked that, "Women in this country must become revolutionaries. We must refuse to accept the old, the traditional roles and stereotypes."
On January 25, 1972, Chisholm announced her candidacy for president. She stood before the cameras and in the beginning of her speech she said,
"I stand before you today as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency of the United States. I am not the candidate of Black America, although I am Black and proud. I am not the candidate of the women's movement of this country, although I am a woman, and I am equally proud of that. I am not the candidate of any political bosses or special interests. I am the candidate of the people."
The 1972 Democratic National Convention in Miami was the first major convention in which any woman was considered for the presidential nomination. Although she did not win the nomination, she received 151 of the delegates' votes. She continued to serve in the House of Representatives until 1982. She retired from politics after her last term in office. She has received many honorary degrees, and her awards include Alumna of the Year, Brooklyn College; Key Woman of the Year; Outstanding Work in the Field of Child Welfare; and Woman of Achievement. Shirley Chisholm passed away on January 1, 2005.
"I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired."
Born October 6, 1917, in Montgomery County, Mississippi, Fannie Lou Hamer was the granddaughter of a slave and the youngest of 20 children. Her parents were sharecroppers.
At age six, Fannie Lou began helping her parents in the cotton fields. By the time she was twelve, she was forced to drop out of school and work full time to help support her family. Once grown, she married another sharecropper named Perry "Pap" Hamer.
On August 31, 1962, Mrs. Hamer decided she had had enough of sharecropping. Leaving her house in Ruleville, MS she and 17 others took a bus to the courthouse in Indianola, the county seat, to register to vote. On their return home, police stopped their bus. They were told that their bus was the wrong color. Fannie Lou and the others were arrested and jailed.
After being released from jail, the plantation owner paid the Hamers a visit and told Fannie Lou that if she insisted on voting, she would have to get off his land - even though she had been there for eighteen years. She left the plantation that same day. Ten days later, night riders fired 16 bullets into the home of the family with whom she had gone to stay.
Mrs. Hamer began working on welfare and voter registration programs for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).
Mrs Hamer was left in the cell, bleeding and battered, listening to the screams of Ann Powder, a fellow civil rights worker, who was also undergoing a severe beating in another cell. She overheard white policemen talking about throwing their bodies into the Big Black River where they would never be found.
In 1964, presidential elections were being held. In an effort to focus greater national attention on voting discrimination, civil rights groups created the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP). This new party sent a delegation, which included Fannie Lou Hamer, to Atlantic City, where the Democratic Party was holding its presidential convention. Its purpose was to challenge the all-white Mississippi delegation on the grounds that it didn't fairly represent all the people of Mississippi, since most black people hadn't been allowed to vote.
Fannie Lou Hamer spoke to the Credentials Committee of the convention about the injustices that allowed an all-white delegation to be seated from the state of Mississippi. Although her live testimony was pre-empted by a presidential press conference, the national networks aired her testimony, in its entirety, later in the evening. Now all of America heard of the struggle in Mississippi's delta.
A compromise was reached that gave voting and speaking rights to two delegates from the MFDP and seated the others as honored guests. The Democrats agreed that in the future no delegation would be seated from a state where anyone was illegally denied the vote. A year later, President Lyndon Baines Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act.
Prior to her death in 1977, Fannie Lou Hamer was inducted into Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, as an honorary member.
Charlotta Bass
Newspaper publisher-editor, civil rights activist, stands among the most influential African Americans of the twentieth century. A crusading journalist and extraordinary political activist, she was at the forefront of the civil rights struggles of her time, especially in Los Angeles, but also in California and the nation.
Bass was managing editor and publisher of the California Eagle, from 1912 to 1951. The Eagle, founded in 1879, was one of the longest running African American newspapers in the West. Bass was also a political candidate at the local, state, and national level, including running for vice president of the United States on the Progressive Party ticket in 1952. She used the newspaper, along with direct-action campaigns and the political process, to challenge inequality for Blacks, workers, women, and other minorities in Los Angeles. Her mission was nothing short of achieving the equality and justice promised by the United States Constitution. She believed her own role in society, and the role of the Black community, was defined by Americanism, democracy, and citizenship.
Acting on this belief, Bass was one of the pioneers who helped to lay the groundwork for the later Civil Rights Movement and the women's liberation movement. She fought important battles against job and housing discrimination, police brutality, and media stereotyping, and for immigrant and women's rights and civil liberties.
Over time, her role as an activist evolved from championing local business concerns, to strengthening the labor movement, fighting fascism at home and abroad during World War II, and showing a global concern for world peace. Her leadership, courage, truth-telling, and tenacity were an effective force in Los Angeles, and the world, that yielded greater equality for Blacks, workers, and other people facing oppression.
Bass paid a price for her outspokenness. Her life was threatened on numerous occasions. The FBI placed her under surveillance on the charge that her newspaper was seditious and continued to monitor her until her death. Accused of being a Communist, in 1950, she was called before the California Legislature's Joint Fact-Finding Committee on un-American Activities. The accusations began to take a toll on her effectiveness in the community and her ability to sell her newspaper. In 1951, she sold the paper and continued her work in the political realm.
Whatever the consequences, Bass didn't waver in her pursuit of justice. Both Bass and her newspaper served the people--fighting for them, speaking for them, and leading them in battles against inequality and injustice.
Born Charlotta Amanda Spears in Sumter, South Carolina, in 1879 or 1880, Bass was the sixth of eleven children. At the turn of the century, Bass moved to Rhode Island. In 1910, she migrated to Los Angeles to improve her health.
Soon after arriving, Bass sold subscriptions for the Eagle, a Black newspaper founded by John Neimore in 1879. Fulfilling the deathbed request of Neimore, Bass became the Eagle's editor and publisher in March 1912, a career lasting over forty years until she sold the newspaper in 1951. In 1914, Bass hired and subsequently married Joseph Blackburn Bass, a Kansas newspaperman, who edited the paper until his death in 1934. They eventually changed the name of the paper to the California Eagle. The couple had no children, but Charlotta Bass was very close to her nephew John Kinloch, who worked at the California Eagle.
While she was always active at the national level, Bass devoted her greatest energy and activism to the pursuit of civil rights in Los Angeles. Though many viewed Los Angeles as a racially harmonious paradise, Bass used her positions as journalist, candidate, and activist to expose and eliminate racism and injustice in the city.
Likely around 1960, Bass retired and moved to Lake Elsinore, California, where she continued her civil rights activism. She turned her garage into a community reading room and a voter registration site for African Americans, and joined protests against South African apartheid and on behalf of prisoners' rights. In 1966, Bass suffered a stroke and died three years later from complications brought on by the stroke.
Charlotta Bass's steadfast fifty-plus year commitment to social justice distinguishes her as a pioneering civil rights leader.
Assembly Member Wilmer Amina Carter
Assembly Member Wilmer Amina Carter works tirelessly for the 62nd District. A lifelong resident of the district, she proudly represents the cities of Rialto and Colton, portions of the cities of Fontana and San Bernardino, and the communities of Bloomington and Muscoy.
Carter's legislative focus includes, but is not limited to, transportation, job creation and education.
Governor Schwarzenegger has signed two of her bills into law: AB 428 (Carter) and AB 1229 (Carter). AB 428 requires high schools to notify parents and pupils of the A-G curriculum required for admission to the UC and CSU systems. AB 1229 gives rank-and-file officers a seat at the Peace Officers Standards and Training Commission.
Assembly Member Carter is the Chair of the Assembly Select Committee on Inland Empire Transportation. Additionally, she currently sits on six Assembly committees: Transportation, Insurance, Business & Professions, Aging and Long-Term Care, Rules and Veterans Affairs.
Prior to being elected to the California State Assembly, she served on the Rialto Unified School District Board for sixteen years. She was a staff member to the late Congressman George Brown for 23 years; during that time, she served as District Director. She also served as a government affairs liaison for California State University, San Bernardino.
Assembly Member Carter has dedicated her career to public service. After she retired from the Rialto School Board, the board members recognized her contributions to the community by voting to name Rialto's newest comprehensive high school the Wilmer Amina Carter High School. Carter High School is the first high school in the Inland Empire to be named in honor of a living African American woman.
Assembly Member Carter graduated from San Bernardino High School, attended San Bernardino Valley College, and earned her bachelor's and master's degrees from California State University at San Bernardino. She lives in Rialto with her husband, Ratibu Jacocks. They have three adult children.
Assembly Speaker-Elect Karen Bass
Karen Bass has been a State Assembly Member representing Los Angeles' 47th District since 2005. Speaker Fabian Núñez selected Bass as the Majority Leader for the California State Assembly during the 2007-2008 legislative session, making her the first African American and the first woman to hold this leadership position. During the 2005-2006 legislative session, Bass served as the Majority Whip. She also serves as the chair of the Select Committee on Foster Care.
Majority Leader Bass, who is the vice chair of the Legislative Black Caucus, commissioned a report to research the basic demographic profile of Black Californians including the basic social and economic conditions. The State of Black California report included a statewide organizing effort to involve Black Californians in identifying their concerns and making legislative recommendations.
Governor Schwarzenegger has signed 17 of Assemblymember Bass' bills into law focusing on Foster Care reform; Healthy Families Insurance Coverage to help prevent children from going without health insurance; a small business policy that removes red tape by preventing businesses from filling out duplicate certification forms for the city and state; and a measure that expands the Baldwin Hills Conservancy. She has also secured more than $2.3 million to help revitalize the historic Vision Theater in Los Angeles; and more than $600 million for Los Angeles Unified School District.
She was raised in the Venice/Fairfax neighborhood and graduated from the University of Southern California, School of Medicine - Physician Assistant Program, where she has been a faculty member for more than a decade. Bass worked as a Physician Assistant in the nation's largest trauma center, Los Angeles County/USC Medical Center. During her tenure in the emergency room, she saw the despair and violence unleashed by the crack cocaine epidemic. Bass used her organizing experience by founding the Community Coalition, a direct response to the devastation of the drug epidemic and "war on drugs" on South Los Angeles.
As the Assemblymember for the 47th District, Karen Bass serves the cities and communities of Culver City, West Los Angeles, Westwood, Cheviot Hills, Leimert Park, Baldwin Hills, Windsor Hills, Ladera Heights, the Crenshaw District, Little Ethiopia and portions of Korea Town and South Los Angeles.
Assemblywoman Bass lives in the Baldwin Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles County, and is the proud mother of a daughter.
The California Assembly elected Los Angeles Democrat Karen Bass its 67th Speaker, catapulting an African-American woman to the post for the first time in the United States.
"The wisdom of the Caucus is going to break the glass ceiling, to say, finally we're going to elect a Democratic woman to be the Speaker of the California Assembly," Speaker Fabian Núñez said. "We are going to not only write a new chapter in California history, but I've been told we're going to write a new chapter in American history by electing the first African-American woman in the history of this nation to be the Speaker of a state legislative body."
"I look forward to our caucus uniting in the effort to address the current fiscal crisis and the other challenges and opportunities that we will face together and we will solve together in California," Speaker-elect Bass said.
Under Speaker Núñez, Speaker-elect Bass has been a part of the leadership since her first term when she was appointed to Majority Whip. In her second term, she was elevated to the post of Majority Leader, making her the first African American and first woman to hold the post. As vice chair of the Legislative Black Caucus, Bass was the driving force behind the State of Black CA, which highlighted the disparities between Blacks and other ethnic and minority groups throughout the state. She is also the chair of the CA Assembly Select Committee on Foster Care. Under her leadership, the Speaker-elect was able to secure more than $82 million and the signing of eight new laws to help improve the state's Foster Care System.
She will work in tandem with Speaker Núñez as she makes the transition into her new position.
The Los Angeles Democrat will be the first African-American woman Speaker and the first Democratic woman to hold the position. Republican Doris Allen served from June 5, 1995 to September 14, 1995.
Congresswoman Barbara Jordan
Barbara Jordan was the first Black woman to serve in the U.S. Congress from the South.
Barbara Jordan was born in the Fifth Ward of Houston, Texas to a Black Baptist minister, Benjamin Jordan, and a domestic worker, Arlyne Jordan. She attended Roberson Elementary and Phyllis Wheatley High School.
While at Wheatley, she was a member of the Honor Society and excelled in debating. She graduated in 1952 in the upper five percent of her class. She wanted to study political science at the University of Texas-Austin, but was discouraged because the school was still segregated.
She attended Texas Southern University and pledged Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. Barbara was a national champion debater, defeating her opponents from such schools as Yale and Brown and tying Harvard University.
In 1956, she graduated magna cum laude from Texas Southern with a double major in political science and history. She expressed an interest in attending Harvard University School of Law, but opted to go to Boston University and graduated in 1959.
Ms. Jordan taught political science at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama for one year before returning to Houston in 1960 to take the bar examination and set up a private law practice.
She ran for a seat in the Texas House of Representatives in 1962 and 1964, but lost both times... however, she made history when she was elected to the newly drawn Texas Senate seat in 1966, thereby becoming the first Black to serve in that body since 1883. She was an oddity at that time, as the first Black woman in that state's legislature.
Her brief record in the Texas State Senate is viewed as somewhat of a phenomenon. On March 21, 1967 she became the first Black elected official to preside over that body; she was the first Black state senator to chair a major committee, Labor and Management Relations, and the first freshman senator ever named to the Texas Legislative Council.
When the Texas legislature convened in special session in March, 1972, Senator Jordan was unanimously elected president pro tempore. In June of that year, she was honored by being named Governor for a Day. Shortly, thereafter she decided to run for Congress and was elected, in Nov. 1972, from the newly drawn Eighteenth Congressional District in Houston.
Both as a state senator and as a U.S. Congressman, Jordan sponsored bills that championed the cause of poor, Black, and disadvantaged people. She gained national prominence for the position she took and the statement she made at the 1974 impeachment hearing of President Richard Nixon. In casting a "yes" vote, Jordan stated,"My faith in the Constitution is whole, it is complete, it is total." Having become a national celebrity, Ms. Jordan was chosen as a keynote speaker for the Democratic National Convention in 1976, and again in 1992. She was the first Black selected to keynote a major political convention.
President Jimmy Carter considered her for attorney general and U.N. Ambassador but she chose to remain in Congress. She was seriously thinking about challenging Sen. John Tower for re-election in 1978, but became ill and retired from politics.
She became a Professor of Public Affairs at the Lyndon Baines Johnson School of Public Affairs. She was very close to President Johnson, often visiting him at the White House as a state Senator. In 1987, she became an eloquent voice against Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork. She served as an unpaid adviser on ethics for former Gov. Ann Richards of Texas and was praised for her work on the Clinton panel on Immigration Reform.
Barbara Jordan died of complications from pneumonia on January 17, 1996.

Deerfield has no mascot, but it does have symbols, and the three most important are the Door, the Seal, and the Deerfield colors.
Located on the front of the John Williams Dormitory, the Deerfield Door is the primary symbol of the Academy. Its architectural design represents part of the Pocumtuck Valley's heritage as well as the Academy's historical tradition.
The Academy Seal is a more formal symbol, which includes a detailed image of the Deerfield Door, the phrase "Founded 1797," and the school's motto: "Be Worthy of Your Heritage." A bronze version of the seal can be found on the floor of the main entrance to the Athletic Center; a long-standing Deerfield tradition holds that it is bad luck to step on the seal.
Perhaps the most prevalent symbols of Deerfield are the school colors—green and white. At games, the cheer "Go Big Green!" is constantly heard, and loyal Deerfield students and alumni are said to "bleed green."

Great Lakes Legacy Act Program Manager
Hog Island Legacy Act Cleanup
St. Louis River Area of Concern
The sediment cleanup at Hog Island, Superior Wisconsin is complete. The $6.3 million project involved digging up and disposing of over 50,000 cubic yards of petroleum-contaminated sediment (mud) and soil from Newton Creek and parts of Hog Island Inlet.
The banks of the creek and inlet were landscaped to prevent erosion. The result will be a healthier habitat for fish and other aquatic life, and the inlet will be safe for recreation.
Approximately $4.1 million of the funds to pay for this project were provided by the Great Lakes Legacy Act. The act authorizes $270 million over a five-year period to clean up contaminated sediment in Great Lakes toxic hot spots called "Areas of Concern." Newton Creek and Hog Island Inlet are part of the St. Louis River AOC. This is the second Great Lakes Legacy Act project. The first was a project to remove contaminated sediment from Black Lagoon, part of the Detroit River in Trenton, Michigan
The state of Wisconsin and other parties are providing 35 percent of the project's cost, or about $2.2 million. These are non-federal matching funds required by the Legacy Act.

I will be welding 6061 fuel injector bungs onto a cast aluminum intake manifold.
Are there any tricks in doing this?
I have not tried something like this, nor have i done much aluminum welding. I am working on getting a BUNCH of stuff to practice on. Do have a few extra cast aluminum manifolds to practice on, just need to get some material to weld to it.
Thank you for your input.
EDIT: will be using a tig welder. 4043 filler rod work ok for this? It seems to be the most common filler rod out there.

I would suggest you do a search in this forum for aluminum welding as there is a plethora of information already posted.
It may get you more response if you post what machine, gas, polarity etc. that you are using.
It sounds like you already have some knowledge of the process if you are practicing. Maybe some pictures of your efforts if you have that capability.

Using a Miller Dialarc HP-F, 250 amp watercooled torch, 100% argon (is there any other gas you would use with a tig welder), 4043 filler rod.
I have searched, but didn't find much on the subject of welding to an automotive manifold before.
I am working on doing an 8 injector setup for a dodge avenger.
I need to weld 4 fuel injector bungs into the lower intake manifold. These injectors only are used while under boost, this vehicle is turbo charged.
I will post up my last welds a little later once I go back out in the shop.

Without seeing your setup, I would have a step on the OD of your bungs...that way they would drop in the holes in the manifold and you could weld around the perimeter. Sort of a positive locator for them.
I'd practice a few on a spare manifold and see what happens.
I'd say the intake runners are about 1/8" wall...I'd start with 170-180 amps and go from there.
Make sure everything is very clean, tack and go.
Good luck, and I'l like to see pics.

problems I think I am having:
To small of tungsten (1/16th green tip and gold tip) I am waiting for my parts to get there. I ordered 3/32" stuff along with a bunch of other stuff.
I am welding at about 120 amps or somewhere close to that.
Seems if I use more amps, it over heats the tungsten and starts to melt away. This is the reason i ordered a kit which comes with all 4 common sizes (.040", 1/16th", 3/32", 1/8").
I did order some grey tip tungstens to try out.
I won't be able to have a lip inside the plenum, I do not believe. Because the bungs have to go in at a pretty good angle, they are not going straight in.
Thanks for the input!

The thing with welding 6061 to cast is clean clean clean. Some even have used just the TIG torch on a lower heat setting and going over the cast area to lift the impurities out and then brushing with a stainless brush and acetone(you will see the black specs rise as you go over with the torch). Your practice pieces looks as if you did not clean them. As all aluminum welds, brush with a dedicated to aluminum stainless brush and wipe with acetone. Also wipe the filler rod down with acetone. As for filler you might want to try 5356 filler. I would suggest a lot more practice before attempting your manifold project. Also I do not know what your post flow is but you might want to see if your post flow time can be increased. This will prevent your tungsten from burning up. Some also have heated the manifold in an oven to about 300 degrees before welding.
T.J.Miller Dynasty 300DX
HTP 380 Plasma
Bridgeport Milling Machine
South Bend Lathe
Etc. Etc....
By looking at the samples you have given you are not ready to weld on a fuel system. Sorry
Comments about your welds, vary inconsistent travel speed.
Here is my description of the process I go through when welding aluminum.
First all parts clean and free of oil dirt burrs ( cast surface is heated gently and scrubbed with a stainless steel brush)
Parts are placed clamped is better, strike an arc develop the puddle to about 2/3 the size I want the finished weld. you may need to dab a small amount of filler at this point just to get the parent metals to join. I would do this step on opposite sides of each bung.
During this time the part is preheating go back to a point 90deg off one of your tacks and establish another puddle develop it to full size by adding filler and heat at this point things happen real fast you start the torch traveling and you start adding filler. Travel speed is going to be in the 2-4 inch per minute range. Dabbing the filler in at a rate of two dabs per second.
Like I said things happen fasten fast. I am constantly adjusting the amps with my foot, my foot doing the majority of the work to control how wide the weld is. All this time you also have to keep the tungsten at a constant distance from the work and at the appropriate angle to the joint (sometimes this means pointing it more to one parent material than the other).
Going around a small item like 1/2"-1" dia. is one of the hardest welds you can make in that you are working with a vary small part that gets overheated vary easy.
You are not ready sorry do some more practice and get back to us with more pictures
Good Luck

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 1, 2010) ﻗ"
ETSU womenﻗs soccer players
Tori Head
(Kingsport, Tenn.) and
Samantha Kron
(Paradise Valley, Ariz.) will be stopping by throughout the season to provide a weekly blog on life as an ETSU womenﻗs soccer player. Here is week three of From the Pitch featuring Tori Head.
September 1, 2010
Itﻗs been a very eventful past two weeks for the ETSU womenﻗs soccer team. Last week was the final week of summer. Even though we have been playing soccer since Aug. 5
it was our last week of just soccer and no class. We ended the summer with a cookout at my house. We all met at the dome and car pooled to Kingsport. Once we got there we had hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, fruit, and desserts. After we ate we had a bunch of different games going on. Megan Masch brought her corn hole game so that meant a tournament was bound to happen. Masch, Jen Altimier and Rachel Van Horn took the responsibility in teaching Hannah and Lucy Goffe how to play, since England doesnﻗt have corn hole. Also going on inside the house was some intense games of Ping pongﻗ۵ I think Caitlin Gaughan and I were by far the best partners even if Lindsay Bickel and Courtney Deem won every game. We were definitely better than Morgan Jutras and Alex Meehan. After those games came to an end we got together and played football. That lasted for awhile until it was time to get the fire started and roast marshmallows and make smores. They were so goodﻗ۵ even if Jen got most of hers in my hair. This get together was a great way for us to have fun and bond as a team away from the soccer field.
Friday came before we knew it, and it was GAME DAY. It was time to go on the road to Gardner-Webb. It was our second regular season game, and we were pumped. One of our goals this season is to stay undefeated in non-conference play. So thatﻗs exactly what we are playing for. We got to Gardner-Webb a little early so we were able to hang out and just chill before we had to get mentally ready to play. The game didnﻗt last 90 minutesﻗ۵ this game lasted 110 minutes because it went into double overtime. The final score came out to be a tie, but in our eyes we won. We had reached our goal yet again. We did not give up a goal and we played hard until the end.
Well the next thing we knew it was Monday, and not only was it Monday but it was the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! Also, to go along with the first day of school, it was our first regular season home game. With school starting, this meant we would probably have some students come out and support us. So we all went to class then met up for our pre-game meal. Then it was time to go to the locker room to get ready for the game, ETSU vs. Tennessee Wesleyan. Again we were able to reach our goal with a 4-0 win over the bulldogs. We won our first regular season home game in front of amazing home crowd. It was a great feeling to have all the support from the students who came out. Our next game is Thursday Sep. 2
at 7:00 p.m. We will be playing under the new lights that have just been installed on our field, and we all looking forward to this game. So come out and support the BUCS!!!!
Until next time,
Tori Head #11

can anyone identify any of these other people with don carlo gambino in this picture? if so can you please name them:) from left to right just for curiousity thank you!!!!!!
Good question, I have often wondered that. My guess is that the women on the left of Gambino is his daughter Phyllis. She married a Dr. Sinatra, no relation to Frank. The guy to the right holding Carlo Gambino by the arm is tricky to identify. There are a few options: (a) James 'Jimmy Brown' Fallia used to be Carlo Gambino's driver. It's a close relationship and an important role. My gut feeling is that it isn't him b/c of his stature of the guys in the picture seems big than the pictures I've seen of Jimmy Brown. (b) It could be his son Joseph would would have been 37 at the time of this picture and therefore broadly fits the age of this guys (c) Thomas Masotto, Gambino's first cousin and messenger who were believed to have been extremely close. The people in the background and foreground I have know idea who they are.
thanks for this info don carlo:):) i greatly appreciate any type of info on this picture whether big or small!!!! have a great day and god bless you and the whole gambino family!!!!!:):):)
Nice photo of the Don.

I have a lincoln tombstone ac/dc welder. What would be the best way for me to weld aluminum. I have an old airco 300 amp water cooled tig torch and a homemade water cooler I made from a bucket and pond pump. I been running on dc- under 180 amps with no overheating problems. Could I tig on dc+ without killing my pump or would the power backfired into the water causing problem? Or just aluminum stick it?

Dr. welding,
You could try scratch starting tig on AC but it would be easier to use DC and alum stick electrodes.Thermal Arc GTSW400, Airco Heliwelder II, Miller Dynasty 350, Hypertherm 1000, oxy-fuel setup, metal cutting bandsaw, air compressor, drill press, etc.:

Theres no RELIABLE way to weld Aluminum with what you have.
Once you add on a high frequency box, you can try. You still won't have amp control though.
Learn from my mistakes. I tried the same thing with the same unit. In the end, it's cheaper to buy a dedicated ACDC tig welder. You will not gett good results.
As for stick welding Aluminum, try it on a test piece first. It's a hot, fast milky mess that burns through really fast and is hard to control.

Seems that there are news reports of the upcoming shortage of welders. And I also have read that is not true, that many recent graduates are having trouble finding work. Like many things trying to find the truth is next to impossible but if a shortage takes place do any of you think companies will consider someone part time? Four hours a day or maybe 2 or 3 days a week?

A future in welding - Part time?
A mom and pop operation no prob part time. Big companies want you there everyday and not late and every Saturday too. Here in NE Ohio there are shortages everyone is hiring but some shops have big turnovers due to kids not wanting to work everyday or being late. I have see 50-60 guys come thru our shop just in the last year...BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

Spool Gun conversion. How To Do It. Below.
The following is just my opinion & observation.
Shortages are localized. I have been hearing about the impending shortages in all trades for 30 yrs. now & never seen it materialize. By me I always hear that companies can't find good help. Then I ask about the pay scale & it is crap. No wonder they can't find good people. An example, plumbing outfit in NYC can't find any helpers or trainees, starting pay $10 hr. You can't live there on that or you couldn't commute there on that. Pay a decent wage & you get decent people.
Part time work? It used to be easy to find small businesses in manufacturing that needed skilled people & would hire you for maybe 20 hrs. a week. Now the regulations/insurance make that more difficult plus most small shops are gone, at least in my area or they hire non-American workers at a very low wage. So I would say unless you have a very special skill part time isn't going to happen.MM250

I agree with Mic there's as place in Boonton N.J. that makes custom stainless products for the food industry. I applied for a job there and all they wanted to pay was $12.00 an hr for tig welders. No of the welders there spoke english.

When industry cries about a "labor shortage" that usually means "shortage of chumps who will work for free".
you might find those hours if you search long enough. If you have temp agency's in your area they will look for you.
I wish they would outlaw those temp places but that aint gona happen. Sometimes you can get a foot in the door if you can put up with their crap.
No shortage of welders around here, just like the rest have said, you have to apply thru a temp service so they can get a big hunk of your pay. But a start is better than nothing, just plan on using them as a stepping stone to a better job.
Again just my opinion/observation.
20 years ago I could of walked into almost any small shop & picked up part time work, days or eves. They always had plenty of work & usually had a 6-8 week lead time on jobs.
I have seen hourly rates fall over the last ten years for most trade jobs. When working in a fab shop in 2001 as the lead fab guy I was making $21.25 an hour non-union. When the company closed it's doors in 2009 I was still making the same rate. In todays market, welding jobs listed in my area are $14-18 an hour. Maybe I could find something better if I wanted to travel an hour or more, no thanks. I can work for my self & it doesn't take many hours to make what I would if I worked for $15 an hour.
I see the same in other blue collar jobs as well. My son works at an auto resto shop, he makes 11 or 12 an hour. The top guys there make less than 20 an hour. Every crew I see, be it landscape, roofing, framing, etc is usually one foreman who knows a lot & the rest just take orders & couldn't do anything by themselves. This is the new business model I guess.MM250

I agree with MMW. At my company they start you with $15.00 but you get $1.00 raise every year. Not a bad place to work. They pay total health coverage and after 5 yrs you get 3 wks vaca and 2 wks sick very hard to leave. This is a non welding job , I have my own side business welding and I could go full time but why. I make very good money and nobody wants to hire me for pt welding in northern jersey.

I work at a Union shop where the emphasis is on aluminum. There is very little carbon and stainless used in our shop. We build petroleum tankers and have factories in four states. Our only welding process's are mig and tig.
Most of our welders come from the temp agencies. If they prove themselves for the 60 day trial-then they hire them. I started at $11.50 an hour. 11 months later I was at $17.37 an hour. That is great pay for this area! Our union (United Steel Workers) guarantees us a raise every 60 days.

Ionizing & Non-Ionizing Radiation
Ionizing & Non-Ionizing Radiation
Radiation having a wide range of energies form the electromagnetic spectrum, which is illustrated below. The spectrum has two major divisions:
Radiation that has enough energy to move atoms in a molecule around or cause them to vibrate, but not enough to remove electrons, is referred to as "non-ionizing radiation." Examples of this kind of radiation are sound waves, visible light, and microwaves.
Radiation that falls within the ionizing radiation" range has enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, thus creating ions. This is the type of radiation that people usually think of as 'radiation.' We take advantage of its properties to generate electric power, to kill cancer cells, and in many manufacturing processes.
The energy of the radiation shown on the spectrum below increases from left to right as the frequency rises.
|Types of Radiation in the Electromagnetic Spectrum
|Type of Radiation
Non-ionizing Radiation
We take advantage of the properties of non-ionizing radiation for common tasks:
- microwave radiation telecommunications and heating food
- infrared radiation infrared lamps to keep food warm in restaurants
- radio waves broadcasting
Non-ionizing radiation ranges from extremely low frequency radiation, shown on the far left through the audible, microwave, and visible portions of the spectrum into the ultraviolet range.
Extremely low-frequency radiation has very long wave lengths (on the order of a million meters or more) and frequencies in the range of 100 Hertz or cycles per second or less. Radio frequencies have wave lengths of between 1 and 100 meters and frequencies in the range of 1 million to 100 million Hertz. Microwaves that we use to heat food have wavelengths that are about 1 hundredth of a meter long and have frequencies of about 2.5 billion Hertz.

Higher frequency ultraviolet radiation begins to have enough energy to break chemical bonds. X-ray and gamma ray radiation, which are at the upper end of magnetic radiation have very high frequency in the range of 100 billion billion Hertz and very short wavelengths 1 million millionth of a meter. Radiation in this range has extremely high energy. It has enough energy to strip off electrons or, in the case of very high-energy radiation, break up the nucleus of atoms.
Ionization is the process in which a charged portion of a molecule (usually an electron) is given enough energy to break away from the atom. This process results in the formation of two charged particles or ions: the molecule with a net positive charge, and the free electron with a negative charge.
Each ionization releases approximately 33 electron volts (eV) of energy. Material surrounding the atom absorbs the energy. Compared to other types of radiation that may be absorbed, ionizing radiation deposits a large amount of energy into a small area. In fact, the 33 eV from one ionization is more than enough energy to disrupt the chemical bond between two carbon atoms. All ionizing radiation is capable, directly or indirectly, of removing electrons from most molecules.
There are three main kinds of ionizing radiation:
- alpha particles, which include two protons and two neutrons
- beta particles, which are essentially electrons
- gamma rays and x-rays, which are pure energy (photons).
- Nuclides and Isotopes
This page explains how changes in the nucleus affect the properties of an atom.
- Health Effects
This page describes the effects of chronic and acute exposure to radiation.

Force India and Toro Rosso both failed to reach the chequered flag in Korea, joining Marussia at the back of the pack...
Force India and Toro Rosso both failed to reach the chequered flag in Korea, joining Marussia at the back of the pack...
Jules Bianchi: "I was hoping to be able to have a good fight with the Caterhams today and despite the setback of the grid penalty I was in a good position after the first couple of corners of the opening lap. It wasn't too long before we had to focus our efforts on tyre management and the first two stints were pretty tough as we were not able to push. In the third stint, when there was less to lose, we could give it more of a shot but it was not enough to try to take a position from them. We have a tough job on our hands in these next five races and it will require every bit of our focus and concentration, but we know what we have to do and everyone is working very hard for that. My thanks to the Team as it is not just tough in the cockpit!"
Max Chilton: "Overall, a good Team result today as we achieved the right outcome for our bigger picture. I think we were lacking a little in terms of our expected race pace but also we were unable to really push because of the need to manage our way through each stint with the tyres. The opening lap melée set me back a little but then I caught back up to Jules and the two safety cars meant that we never had the blue flag situation to worry about. The pit stops were really slick and I think we did everything we could. We are much closer to the Caterhams, we know that, but we need to be able to carry that through into the race to make things a little more comfortable."
Toro Rosso:
Jean-Eric Vergne: "At the moment, we're not quite sure what happened in the end. I felt the car pull to one side and something was clearly not right, so the team called me into the pits. Starting from sixteenth, this was always going to be a difficult weekend and after I made up a few places in the early stages, I began to suffer with tyre degradation, so I agreed when the team decided to switch me from a two to a three stop strategy. I just want to get to Suzuka and start again now, but we will need to do a lot of work if we want to return to the performance level we should have had here."
Daniel Ricciardo: "I think we did all we could today in the race. I had a decent first stint and tried to run as long as possible on the Prime tyre. The car wasn't perfect but it was good enough to be in a points position with a few laps to go and I was hanging on nicely to ninth. It's déjà vu, as I had the same scenario here last year, when I came down to Turn 3 with a few laps to go, I braked and the car immediately shot to the left. That time it cost me one place. Once I got out of the cockpit this time, I could see there was a mechanical problem at the front left corner. Personally, I was really pleased with my performance in the car today. Maybe we didn't have a top ten car but I was able to fight in the top ten. But for myself and the team it's frustrating to get no reward. Now all we can do is look ahead to Suzuka"
Force India:
Adrian Sutil: "I was quite unlucky on the first lap because after Massa spun everybody headed for the inside and somebody hit me on the side of my front wing. The damage was not too bad but I still had to pit for a new one. As the race went on I was able to fight back quite well and after the safety car I was in P12 and not planning to pit again. At the restart I lost the rear of the car under braking for turn three. I really don't know why because I was not braking late and the car just snapped. I hit Webber so I apologise for ending his race. It's a disappointing end to the race because I believe there was still a chance of a point."
Paul di Resta: " have to hold my hands up and apologise to the team. Maybe I took a little bit too much kerb and that's sent me off the track. The way we've set the car up means it has been quite edgy and difficult to drive, and that's what has caught me out today, although whether it has cost us points is hard to say. The performance in the race was not where we wanted it to be and the front tyres were wearing out too quickly. So we need to have a rethink ahead of Suzuka and go there determined to have a clean race."

This is my first post. I am Ishnox, long-time BrikWars lurker and apparently I made an account some time ago. To answer the questions:
Who I am: Ishnox, Texas chump. Not much else to say.
Do I live with my mom: ...Yes. Don't judge me too early. I'll have you know, I'm 16, and that makes me mature.
Where I come from: Texas.
My quest: Various agendas.
I have some questions of my own, if I am fortunate enough to be answered: I have noticed many people with large numbers of pieces and minifigures I have either never seen or own enough parts to make half of one. Are these parts acquired from eBay, or some similar venue? Or do said players simply own enormous amounts of awesome pieces from years of collecting?

It was a warm and interesting week in St. Pete watching the Shrine Game practice sessions and meeting some of the players and agents in the hotel. While I was there for a more general overview, some players stood out as being a potentially good fit for the Lions. The Shrine Game generally features players taken in the final three rounds and priority free agents, though a handful of players could go as high as the late second round.
