Tuesday Weld (1943) began acting as a child and progressed to mature roles in the late 1950s. She won a Golden Globe Award for Most Promising Female Newcomer in 1960. Over the following decades, she played reckless, sexually acting-out women in such films as Play It as It Lays (1972), Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977), The Winter of Our Discontent (1983), and Once Upon a Time in America (1984). Since the late 1980s, her acting appearances have been infrequent, but her most successful film was Falling Down (1993)
Susan Ker Weld was born in 1943, in New York City. When her father, Lathrop Motley Weld, died three years later at the age of 49, the young girl, whose name by was transmogrified into "Tuesday", an extension of her childhood nickname, "Tu-Tu", so named by her young cousin, Mary Ker, who could not pronounce "Susan". She officially adopted her name in October 1959. Tuesday took over the role of the family breadwinner, which included her mother Yosene Balfour Ker. She became a successful child model, posing for advertisements and mail-order catalogs. Her work and the burden of responsibility estranged her from her mother Yosene, her two elder siblings, and forced the preteen girl into adulthood. At nine years of age, she suffered a nervous breakdown; at ten, she started heavy drinking; one year later, older men started exploiting her, all of which led to a suicide attempt at age twelve. Weld made her acting debut on television at the age of 12, and her feature film debut that year in a bit role in the Alfred Hitchcock crime drama The Wrong Man (1956) starring Henry Fonda. That year, the 13-years-old played the lead role in the low-budget exploitation film Rock Rock Rock! (Will Price, 1956), an early jukebox musical featuring performances by established rock and roll singers of the era, including Chuck Berry, LaVern Baker, and Connie Francis who dubbed in as Tuesday's character's singing voice. Famed disc jockey Alan Freed also made an appearance as himself. Tuesday decided to become an actress. After numerous TV appearances in New York she went to Hollywood in 1958 and was cast in a supporting role in the Paul Newman comedy Rally 'Round the Flag, Boys! (Leo McCarey, 1958). It was a breakthrough for her. At Columbia, Weld was in The Five Pennies (Melville Shavelson, 1959), playing the daughter of Danny Kaye.
Over the next few years, Tuesday Weld became Hollywood's queen of teen. In the television series The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, she played Thalia Menninger, the love interest of Dobie Gillis (played by Dwayne Hickman), whose rivals for Thalia's affection included Milton Armitage (played by Warren Beatty). Although Weld was a cast member for only one season, the show created considerable national publicity for her, and she was named a co-winner of a "Most Promising Newcomer" award at the Golden Globe Awards. In the cinema she played precocious sex kittens in such films as Because They're Young (Paul Wendkos, 1960), starring Dick Clark, the comedy Sex Kittens Go to College (Albert Zugsmith, 1960), with Mamie van Doren and Mijanou Bardot - Brigitte's sister, and the Spectacolor comedy The Private Lives of Adam and Eve (Albert Zugsmith, 1960) starring Mickey Rooney. Weld had a supporting role in the sequel Return to Peyton Place (José Ferrer, 1961), in the part played by Hope Lange in the original. Her portrayal of an incest victim was well received, but the film was less successful than its predecessor. She supported Elvis Presley in Wild in the Country (Philip Dunne, 1962), along with Hope Lange. Weld had an off-screen romance with Presley. Tuesday's wild private life added to the entertainment of her fans. Critics acknowledged her talent, directors approved of her professionalism, and in the late 1960s she even managed to grow out of her child/woman image and find more demanding roles - she had been "sweet little 16" for about 16 years. However, Tuesday Weld didn't achieve first-magnitude stardom. Maybe she was just unlucky with her selection of jobs; she turned down Lolita (1962), Bonnie and Clyde (1967), and Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969). She was Stanley Kubrick's first choice to play the role of Lolita in his film, but she turned the offer down, saying: "I didn't have to play it. I was Lolita". In 1965, Weld appeared in The Cincinnati Kid (Norman Jewison, 1965), opposite Steve McQueen. There was some controversy when she refused to meet the local governor at a fund-raiser for hurricane victims, jumping out of a car in view of 70,000 people. The film was a big hit. Weld got a star role in Lord Love a Duck (George Axelrod, 1966), with Roddy McDowall, Ruth Gordon, and Harvey Korman. She received excellent reviews, but the film was a box office disappointment. Christoph Heuke at IMDb: "Maybe her independence-loving mind made her instinctively shrink back from the restraints of superstardom. In any case, she kept on performing well in films that had either not much flair or not much success."
Tuesday Weld did play in such films as the Neo Noir I Walk the Line (John Frankenheimer, 1970), opposite Gregory Peck, A Safe Place (Henry Jaglom, 1971), co-starring Jack Nicholson and Orson Welles, and Play It as It Lays (Frank Perry, 1972), again with Perkins, for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award. Previously, they had starred together in the film Pretty Poison (Noel Black, 1968). From the mid-1970s on she focused more and more on made-for-TV movies as her film career had petered out. Weld attracted attention as the favoured, out-of-control Katherine in Looking for Mr. Goodbar (Richard Brooks, 1977) – packing into her short screen time an orgy, a divorce, a lot of alcohol, and two abortions – and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Later she appeared in the war drama Who'll Stop the Rain (Karel Reisz, 1978) opposite Nick Nolte; and the comedy Serial (Bill Persky, 1980). Weld had a good supporting role in Michael Mann's acclaimed Thief (1981), opposite James Caan. She played Al Pacino's wife in the comedy-drama Author! Author! (Arthur Hiller, 1982) and co-starred with Donald Sutherland in the TV film The Winter of Our Discontent (Waris Hussein, 1983). This performance earned her an Emmy nomination. Then the excellent gangster epic Once Upon a Time in America (Sergio Leone, 1984) with Robert De Niro and James Woods, came her way. One of her most successful films would be Falling Down (Joel Schumacher, 1993), starring Michael Douglas. She later had small supporting roles in independent films like Feeling Minnesota (Steven Baigelman, 1996) starring Keanu Reeves, Investigating Sex (Alan Rudolph, 2001), and Chelsea Walls (Ethan Hawke, 2001). Tuesday Weld was married three times, but all ended in a divorce. Her husbands were screenwriter Claude Harz (1965-1971), actor Dudley Moore (1975-1980), and Israeli concert violinist and conductor Pinchas Zukerman (1985-1998). She has two children, daughter Natasha (1966) with Harz, and son Patrick (1975) with Moore.

The sign says it all; a former welding repair shop in Meyronne, Saskatchewan, a near ghost town located along the Red Coat Trail (Highway 13).
My son Nick bedecked in protective clothing and politically incorrect helmet, here welds a table leg.
Welding effect kit comes with two Pico LEDs (one cool white for the welding torch and one warm white for the material being welded), cables and adapters, and a pre-programmed effect controller with synchronized welding effect.
This image was taken when I was helping out Limivady Technical College with their project car being built under the name of the "Limivady Custom Cruisers".
I helped the project out with photography through the build phase, building their website (which sadly isn't online anymore), designing the various logo's for the car and also hands on if and when they needed the extra hands.
This particular image was taken while the original runners for the front seats of the Nissan S14 200SX were being modified to allow a set of front seats from a Mitsubishi Evo to fit.
Simply titled - "Welding"...

A.G. Welding is a fabrication shop specializing in custom metalwork for manufacturing and visual displays as well as architectural and furniture components. The business is located in Garfield Park. A fun place to visit...so many specialized machines and projects underway! Great to see a thriving industry in our city that is so full of sad reminders of industries lost.
Out today having more fun with my one pound piece of welding glass.Took it up to a place called Aber Falls. Bit cold stood in the water tho!!!
We love to photograph old rusty bits and pieces we find on an urban exploration. Like this rusty shackle that has been welded to the pole.
This was a "close your eyes and shoot" sort of thing. Lots of welding in the shop @ work and it's hard to not get your eyes burned when you step behind the "welding shields"
