The process grants the operator greater control over the weld than competing processes such as MIG welding\, allowing for stronger\, higher quality welds.\n \n \n Students will have the opportunity to learn the basic techniques of the TIG process and practice with feedback from an expert. It is recommended to take the basic Intro to welding (MIG) class before this TIG class.\n \n \n\n \n \n \n What to wear:\n \n \n At RMM\, you must dress safely and appropriately. Arrive for class in all-natural fiber clothing (100% cotton)\, long pants\, and closed-toe\, closed-heel shoes with socks that protect up to the ankle. Long hair must be tied back. Nylon\, polyester\, spandex\, or other synthetics are not allowed around machines\, equipment\, or processes that can produce hot fragments\, sparks\, or flames. Additional protective gear will be provided as needed. \n\n \n \n About the Instructor\n \n :\n \n Stephen Charles is a former Welding Engineer with many years of experience in production welding and custom fabrication. He has taught hundreds of beginners in the basics of welding and fabrication. Also\, he’s pretty funny\, so if you don’t have a sense of humor there will be many moments of awkward silence.

Follow us on Facebook\, Instagram\, LinkedIn\, YouTube. \nAlabama Public Television Broadcast Schedule \nSept. 14\, 2:00 pm – Children’s Harbor: BUZZ is back in Alabama highlighting and helping four new nonprofits thanks to funding from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama’s The Caring Foundation\, Robert R. Meyer Foundation and Hoar Construction!Between countless doctor appointments and hospitalizations\, life doesn’t get more stormy for families than when a child suffers a serious illness. Thankfully\, Alabama offers them a harbor of hope. Through a fun-filled “Family Center” at Children’s of Alabama in Birmingham and a fully accessible retreat facility at Lake Martin\, Children’s Harbor strengthens families of seriously ill children through refuge\, respite and resources. Offering Children’s Harbor some new marketing buzz is a Lake Martin icon\, John Coley of Lake Martin Voice Realty. \nSept. 21\, 2:00 pm – Canoe Creek Stables’ Light of the World Adaptive Horsemanship: Grieving the death of her younger brother Kyle\, Nicole Tucker vowed to turn her hurt into healing through one of God’s greatest gifts — horses. Through her Canoe Creek Stables in Springville\, Nicole and husband Jake started Light of the World Adaptive Horsemanship to offer help and hope to people of all ages and disabilities\, from children born with autism and Down syndrome to adults suffering spina bifida and depression. Giving them needed marketing buzz to reach more folks in need — and donors to fund their mission — is web design pro Tiara Lavender. \nSept. 28\, 2:00 pm – Iron City Trykes: Special needs children as well as wounded veterans are often limited in their ability to be as mobile as their neurotypical friends and family\, especially if they want to ride a bike. Formerly Birmingham AMBUCS\, the nonprofit Iron City Trykes is dedicated to inspiring mobility and independence through customized therapeutic tricycles. Iron City Trykes started in Birmingham but is increasingly reaching other parts of Alabama including Jasper and Tuscaloosa\, and in this episode gets some buzz from iconic weatherman James Spann. Much of their mission is made possible through partner corporation “build days.” Providing more buzz to inspire more corporate volunteers is social media marketing agency AMD Creative. \nOct. 5\, 2:00 pm – Alabama Task Force 1 K9 Search & Rescue Team: Since the launch of BUZZ in 2020\, Virginia marketing agency 5Points Creative has provided the creative “buzz” for a dozen different nonprofits in just as many episodes.

Set in Birmingham’s historic neighborhoods\, this year’s production centers on two of the ninety-nine communities rich with resilience\, pride\, and untold narratives. Through dance\, spoken word\, and multimedia design\, the event creates a living archive of neighborhood experiences\, shaped directly by residents through Heart Workshops: Talking and Moving. These intimate sessions allow community members to share personal reflections on pressing issues such as food insecurity\, housing\, and local identity\, which then become the emotional and choreographic foundation of the performance. \nDirected by internationally acclaimed choreographer Germaul Barnes and created in collaboration with a diverse team of Birmingham-based artists\, “Lurks Behind Vol. 2” redefines how the arts engage with social justice and civic dialogue. The performance blurs the line between audience and performer\, inviting the public not just to witness\, but to reflect on what lies beneath the surface of everyday places and people. By centering local voices and stories\, Southern DanceWorks brings movement to memory and meaning—offering a vision of the arts as both mirror and catalyst for community transformation.

This Article collects a number of illustrations and explanations I have used in my classes and expands upon them to offer law students what I hope is a useful orientation to capitalism as an institution… I hope to convince the reader that: (1) being a “business lawyer” is in fact a noble calling\, and (2) capitalism is well worth defending against its critics and enemies.”\nCurious to hear more? Please join us on Friday\, August 22\, at UAB’s Collat School of Business.\nMichael DeBow joined the Cumberland faculty in 1988. He regularly teaches courses in Property\, Business Organizations\, Administrative Law\, Legislation\, and Local Government.\nProfessor DeBow is a native of Tupelo\, Mississippi. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in economics from the University of Alabama (1976\, 1978). He graduated from the Yale Law School in 1980\, and is a member of the District of Columbia Bar.\nDeBow’s career included a stint in private practice in Washington\, D.C.\, followed by a judicial clerkship with Judge Kenneth W. Starr of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in 1983-84. DeBow then served as an attorney-advisor to Federal Trade Commission chairman James C. Miller III (1984-85)\, and a special assistant to Assistant Attorney General Douglas Ginsburg\, in the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (1985-86). He began his teaching career at the University of Georgia business school\, where he taught for two years prior to coming to Samford.\nFrom 2000 to 2004\, DeBow also acted in a part-time capacity as special assistant for legal policy to Alabama attorney general Bill Pryor. He was a visiting professor of law at George Mason University in 1999. He was a (nonresident) Salvatori Fellow of The Heritage Foundation during 1993-95\, and a member of the executive committee of the Association of Private Enterprise Education during 1995-99. DeBow attended summer institutes in quantitative methods for law professors (George Mason Law & Economics Center\, 1990)\, Austrian economics (NYU Department of Economics\, 1997)\, and the study of freedom (Templeton Foundation Freedom Project\, 2000). In 2008 he was named an Adjunct Fellow of the Alabama Policy Institute.\nProfessor DeBow has taught several undergraduate courses at Samford\, including one which received a supporting grant from the John Templeton Foundation. Most recently\, he taught an undergraduate course in law and economics for the Samford’s Brock School of Business. He has also taught public health law for the UAB School of Public Health on several occasions.\nDeBow’s articles have appeared in such journals as the Texas Law Review\, Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy\, Regulation\, Policy Review\, The Freeman\, and the Journal of Law & Politics. He co-edits the Federalist Society’s Pre-Law Reading List and its annotated bibliography of conservative and libertarian legal scholarship.

In part I of the class\, Students will start by forming the basic shape of the sword\, followed by forging the hilt which include components such as the handle\, pommel\, and cross guard and various hardware in part II. In part III students will work on crafting the handle working with leather and woods and perhaps horn\, bone\, antler\, or ivory- then working on fitting everything. Finally at part IV the blade and components will go through various final heat treatments and acid washes before being put together as a final piece. This course is an advanced lesson involving more work due to its larger size and multiple step process.

Additionally\, he is also a regular contributor with a series of incredibly funny appearances on several national radio and podcast platforms\, including KROQ’s Kevin and Bean Show and The Adam Carolla Show. \nWilliams’ humorous and inspiring observations on disability\, relationships\, sex\, and race consistently win over audiences; proving anyone can overcome their shortcomings. His high energy live performances frequently produce standing ovations from audience members; which prompted the late Robin Williams to call him “Prozac with a head.” URL:https://bhamnow.com/bhamn-event/brad-williams-the-growth-spurt-tour/ LOCATION:Alabama Theatre\, 1817 3rd Ave North\, Birmingham\, AL\, 35203\, United States CATEGORIES:Comedy,Downtown,Fun ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://alabamatheatre.com/wp-content/uploads/BradWilliams-Birmingham-071225-1080px1080-1024x1024.jpg GEO:33.5148887;-86.8090934 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Alabama Theatre 1817 3rd Ave North Birmingham AL 35203 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1817 3rd Ave North:geo:-86.8090934,33.5148887 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250711T210000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250712T000000 DTSTAMP:20250708T153831Z CREATED:20250708T153831Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250708T153831Z UID:10083057-1752267600-1752278400@bhamnow.com SUMMARY:Decades Dance Party DESCRIPTION:We’re having a dance party in The B-Side!\nDJ Tony Rodio will be pumping out all of your favorite dance tracks\, from Disco to Hyper-pop & everything in between!
