OK so you want to learn how to Tig weld. I like this welding process the most out of all the welding processes. To give you some of the reasons why I like it the most is one it gives a very clean and neat weld. It is used most on things where the weld will be seen, so it is critical that the weld be very clean and nice looking. It does take some practice to master but it is well worth the time you put in. Not to leave out also, it is the highest paying process except underwater welding. In most places you can get a job starting out making around $14 to $17 per hour, just starting out, but remember your welds must be of high quality.
Here are some of the basics of Tig welding. First you must have all the safety equipment and the most important one is your welding helmet. I would get a shade 11 or darker because the light is very bright and can harm your eyes if not protected with the right shade. Next you will need Tig welding gloves, these are thin leather gloves, don't get thick gloves because you will need to able to pick up your rods and torch. Caution and really with aluminum, do not touch after welding, it does not show the heat on the work piece and you might forget that it is hot and you will burn your gloves and your hand. I once burned off my finger prints after picking up a part after welding, where was my head that day? You will need a good welding coat, the ones used for Tig are very light, and that is great because most places are very hot inside.
I would say 90% of Tig welding is done at a table where you get to sit and weld, that's another great thing about Tig welding. Now you will hold your torch in the hand that you want and put your foot on a pedal on the floor that will control the heat. When you push on the pedal it will get hot and when you let up it will cool. To get an arc you will have to put your torch about one eighth inch from the table and then push the pedal. Now welding aluminum you need to set the welder on AC, and for the rest in most cases will be on DC. Alternating current and direct current. Check to make sure you have the machine set right before starting, you want a nice weld not big holes.
Hold the torch at 70 or 80 degrees and hold the rod at 15 degrees. Practice with the pedal and make sure your torch is one eighth inch from work piece. Push pedal until you see a puddle, it should be one quarter inch round, at that moment when puddle forms add a dab of your filler rod to the puddle and pull it out and then pull up on the pedal to freeze the metal and then repeat to form a row of weld that looks like a row of coins spread out in a nice even fashion. This is a good way to practice with your heat and adding rod. There are other ways but when you first start this is the best.
There's no doubt a lot of phones being called a "SciPhone" right now. But probably the best known of the bunch is the i68. Most people realize that there is a newer version with upgraded firmware but I'm not sure how many people know that this version is called the i68+ or the plus. So, in the following article, I'll review this newer version and tell you if it is all that different from the original version.
The New Firmware: Probably the biggest upgrade on the plus model is the new firmware. This new version is supposed to lack some of the bugs that were supposedly on the original 68. And, it is said to have more of a "multi touch" interface rather than the "flow touch" interface. This sounds like a small distinction, I know, but the "multi touch" is supposed to allow for many fewer steps to get to the same place because you can click on multiple areas of the screen to go directly to a place or screen which would have taken several clicks before.
Also, the new firmware adds in the three page menu. In this sense, I find the i68+ to be a whole lot like the i9 3G. This means that you have more options in regards to which applications you have one touch access to on the welcome screen. So, you no longer have to go into the Java screen or into the web browser and search around that way.
There are also small upgrades to the camera and media player, but these are not as noticeable as the "multi touch" upgrade.
Overall Performance On The i68+: If you've used or seen any of the CECT phones, then you have a pretty good idea of what this phone is like. The touch screen is quite responsive and the resolution quality is quite good. This phone has all of the features that are almost always in the CECT line up, like: web browsing; dual sim slots; Bluetooth; Java; MP3 / MP4; digital camera and web cam; the shake and tilt feature; FM radio; ebook reader; etc.
In that sense, the stand by features aren't new. It's a nice phone that gives a user experience that's pretty similar to the iPhone. The battery holds a charge for longer than you would expect. The sound quality on the music and move player is loud and clear. Being able to download and use Java applications is nice. But, is it worth it to buy this new phone if you already own the original SciPhone? Maybe and maybe not. That really depends on how much you want the additional icon pages. Both are great phones with high customer satisfaction and both are priced right. You really should never spend more than $100 (and that's at the very high end) on these phones, including the accessories and even if you have 8GB of memory.
It's also nice that you aren't bound to a contact or carrier. As always, these phones work with any GSM sim card, including pre paid options like GoPhone. This allows you to get the features without paying the high price for them. And, the availability of two sim slots gives you more flexibility in terms of which carrier (and features) that you are using and paying for.

Last night I held what will be the first of more than a dozen country French-style diners in my home to support local charitable organizations. From Habitat for Humanity to the arts organizations which enrich our area, these "dining for dollars" events were first conceived as a way to reach beyond the normal boundaries of a book.
I had this idea that my book, ground-breaking in the sense that it was the first of its kind to address a highly-niched area of interior design, it could be used for a greater good. That although it is certainly lovely and serves as both a widely-read reference book for design professionals and artists, as well as a book for renovators, remodelers, design-book addicts and Francophiles, that perhaps it could be used in a way to expand the greater good. That it could be an engine-driver for philanthropy.
More than a dozen of these dinners have been bid on at local live auctions, held at yearly galas, and have brought in somewhere in the neighborhood of $30,000 for philanthropic endeavors of all kinds. And that's a really neat thing.
Last night's dinner was one of two that were the result of a bidding war between two friends. They each hit their bidding limit and, hating the thought of losing, they asked me if I would do two dinners instead. Because it raised double the amount of money for the charity, I gladly obliged. The other winning bidder will come with her guests next Saturday.
I headed for the grocer straight from my early morning tennis game. My preference is to support locally-owned merchants who carry locally-grown produce. Ah! What a delightful Saturday morning ritual this has become for me. Fully-awakened by a solid hour-and-a-half of chasing down tennis balls, along with a thermos of downed hot coffee, I always arrive at the grocery store early enough to avoid all crowds.
Scanning the bakery isles left me with only a French baguette, which would be used a few hours later for sopping up a fabulous feast of fresh mussels in white wine sauce.
The gourmet cheese isle was full of delicacies. My personal favorite, a Danish bleu, was swept up for the planned endive salad with roasted walnuts and pears, which, when drizzled with a homemade emulsion, would prove to be the perfect precursor to the entree.
It was on to the fresh produce isle, where it was time to pick up the most aromatic herbs I could find. Sprigs of thyme, rosemary and flat-leaf parsley would all find their way into my shopping cart. Rosemary would coat the roasted, buttery cashews set out, hot from the oven, for my guests as they arrived; thyme and parsley would work itself into the boiling broth of chicken stock and white wine where the mussels quickly cooked. Fresh Brussels sprouts, sautéed in my giant copper pan, proved earthy and nutty, and oh-so-flavorful with a few pieces of thick-cut bacon added for good measure (is there anything that isn't made wonderful with the addition of a little bacon?)
The dairy isle held heavy cream, a required mainstay in my crème brulee. That, along with real unsalted butter and high-quality, extra virgin olive oil, provide all of the fat one's diet requires (along with real ice cream of course). No artificial ingredients in diary allowed!
A bone-in veal loin was cut by the butcher. Oh my goodness was it divine! Hearty and flavorful, with a sauce whisked with chicken broth and the bits from the bottom of the pan (among others) gave it the soothing quality for which I was striving (and my body craved.)
Speaking of soothing: there's just nothing like crème brulee for that final spoonful. My fourteen-year-old son loved using the kitchen torch to give each individual serving that fabulous crusty top; his reward was two servings instead of one and mine was watching him gobble it up with pure delight.
I confess to being a lousy Monday-to-Friday cook. Work gets in my way. As does my long commute, football carpool and frankly, physical and mental weariness at the end of most days. Weekdays find us "catch as catch can." Grazing. Noshing on naked deli meats and cheeses. Nuts and fruits. Raw veggies or good organic soups, even though they usually come from a can. Pitiful as it might sound, it remains my weekday dinner MO.
So when the luxury of a weekend day comes when I have nothing else to do but prepare for a dinner party, I find it-surprisingly-absolutely delightful. I love primping my house: fluffing the pillows on the sofas and lighting the candle in their sconces; arranging flowers into a container and re-arranging chairs around the dining room table; polishing the silver and ironing the linens; pre-heating my oven and warming up my heart for service to others.
Entertaining requires a focus on others. And away from self. For it is such a time-consuming process that all thoughts of self must be essentially abandoned. No time for a manicure if the hors d' oeuvres must be prepared pronto. Forget worrying about dressing like a glamour-puss when you'll be popping your head into and out of a hot oven and thrusting your arms into sinks of sudsy water. Throw away those spike heels for a decent pair of ballet flats as you'll be on your legs for a good eight hours or so.
Entertaining requires lifting your spirits in order to lift those of your guests. It means taking your mind off your troubles and seeking to make everyone around you at ease. Of laughing, of extending, of reaching beyond your comfort zone when breaking bread with complete strangers whom you have worked for since dawn in order to create an evening to remember.
"Be careful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." This is the Old Testament verse from the Bible which I have personally claimed as my command for hospitality. Interesting or surprising at it may be, after all the groceries have been procured and put away, after all the dishes have been prepared and consumed, and after all the dishes have been washed and dried and put back in their place, it is always-always!-me, the entertainer, who has received the richest blessing. To fill the stomach of a friend or a stranger, to serve in the humblest of ways, brings the mightiest of rewards.
It is my hope this week that you might outstretch your hand to someone who could use a dose of nourishment. Bodily or otherwise. For by nourishing, you will be nourished. In the exhaustion of the aftermath of your evening, you will find refreshment of soul. And when you awaken in the morning, you will be at peace with the world.
If you're looking for patio roofing options, you've come to the right place.
First off, if you're at the design stage of the project, you are best served by putting the patio under the main roof of your home. Typically, that would have a sloped roofing system such as asphalt shingles. This strategy eliminates low-sloped roofing products entirely, along with their high cost and relatively short life.
If you are adding a patio, avoid the type of lightweight metal roof panels that are typically attached to manufactured homes for carports and such. Not only are these products vulnerable in high winds, they won't withstand foot traffic. And if you can't walk on it, you can't service it when needed.
But there is a structural metal panel that words pretty good for patio roofing. It is a composite of polyurethane foam that is sandwiched between two layers of aluminum. The foam provides insulation and the panels can withstand some foot traffic. To be safe, I walk on plywood when working on this type of roof to distribute my weight.
Moving onto a more conventional option for your patio roofing, the most important thing to remember is that you need to have positive drainage. This can be accomplished with a slope that is as low as 1/4" per foot. If you don't have it in the structure, install a tapered system between the roof deck and the roofing. Almost any low sloped roofing system can succeed with proper drainage. Virtually none will succeed without it.
For over a hundred years, the traditional choice for low-sloped roofing has been a built-up roof (BUR) with gravel surfacing. The multiple layers of felt, each set in a layer of hot asphalt make for a thick, heavy-duty roof system that is tough to beat. But this type of roofing is on the decline due to the hazards associated with hot asphalt. Insurance companies are demanding outrageous deductibles for hot tar accidents, which is cooling the market for BUR, especially on small residential jobs.
A popular alternative for patio roofing is torch-applied modified bitumen, or just "modified" as it is commonly called. It is a rolled roofing product that is specially formulated to accommodate temperature changes. Unfortunately, the torch application can easily start a house fire... and often does.
There is a family of plastic and rubber roofing products called "single-ply" that can be installed without torch or kettle hazards. But the inherent problem with single-ply roofing is just as the name implies: There is just one layer of waterproof protection. Something as simple as a dropped tool or a discarded cigarette butt can cause a leak. And if there is any ponding at all, the seams must be PERFECT to prevent water intrusion. Perfection is a lot to expect from anybody, including us roofers.
Fortunately, there is an excellent option for your patio roofing. It's a hybrid that combines the best features of two different systems. It starts with a nailed down base sheet over a tapered roof deck. Then a smooth-surfaced, self-adhering mid-ply of modified bitumen is installed. Finally a self-adhering modified cap sheet with white granular surfacing is installed.
This system gives you the back-up protection of a built-up roof and the flexibility of modified, without the dangers of torches and kettles.
