About 400 students participated in person including nursing graduates Cindy Godfrey and Nichole Dellaselva (pictured).
They became best friends when they bonded in a psych course during their last year of Gateway’s demanding nurse training.
“In nursing school you have to be a family, it’s so tough,” said Godfrey, who juggled a young child and husband to launch herself from working as a medical assistant at Yale-New Haven Hospital into becoming a full-fledged nurse.
The students snapped pictures, hugged relatives, and thanked teachers, mingling under threatening skies until they processed, organized in sections by majors, into Yale University’s Woolsey Hall.
Among the speakers was New Haven Mayor John DeStefano.
“I usually say ‘what happens downtown stays downtown.’ I say to you, ‘What happens downtown, take it to the world,’” DeStefano told the graduates.
Yale-New Haven Hospital President and CEO Marna Borgstrom was the main speaker. She said her hospital’s high confidence in hiring Gateway graduates derives from knowing that they emerge from school knowing how to balance their professional and family obligations.
An example: Cindy Godfrey had to give up her full-time job and begin to work per diem in order to study 14 hours a week during the last two years of her nursing program. There were financial hardships in making the mortgage on their home in West Haven. Her husband and her 7-year-old gave her the support she needed.
On Thursday, her teachers officially welcomed her into their ranks with a pinning ceremony at the college. Godfrey’s little daughter told her: “I’m glad I’m getting my mommy back.”
“I’m glad I’m getting my wife back,” added her husband Erastus.
Fathers Cry Too
After his son Tank was killed at age 18 in a street shooting on in 2009, Thomas Daniels formed a group called Fathers Cry Too. It has been meeting every Friday since.
“My son’s death made me take proactive action,” he said. Click here for an article in which Daniels describes taking care of his son as his main motivation for staying out of prison.
His next stop is enrolling at Southern Connecticut State University, where he intends to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in social work.Forum Main Tech Help/Race Shop Thread damage oil drain plug..
Thread damage oil drain plug..
If you have plenty of time the correct way would be to disassemble the cases and either drill and tap the hole larger, or weld it up and retap it to the original size...
i am no mechanic! So that i cant do.. though about a thread repair set? But i dont know if anyone has tried that before on their case?
I’m assuming you’re talking about helicoil Thread repair kits... They still require drilling the hole and tapping it larger... They’re Also not the best idea on a non blind hole... You can try to catch many of the aluminum filings by coating the drill bit/ tap with grease and going slow... but i cannot recommend that because you will still end up with some filings inside the case...
If you’re going that route... drill and tap the hole larger don’t use a helicoil...
What do u mean by "tap the hole larger" After drilling the threads clean of course.
Its not too bad. Get a helicoil kit from oreillys auto. Or you can order a timesert online. Either will work and are commonly used for this exact repair. Simply drill and retap the hole and install the insert. Theres directions on the box or im sure youtube has something. Use a wax or grease to drill and tap your holes - not tap lube. The wax or grease will trap loose pieces.
Next time dont use a torque wrench. Hand tight right on the “head” of your ratchet - not the handle is good enough for those bolts. Drain holes are easy to strip. I like to go by feel rather than a torque wrench on these.
Should just say drill and tap the hole to the new drain plug size...
Id go ahead and just put an insert in. Using the damaged threads will just make it worse and cause a leak. This is a cheap and easy repair. Dont be lazy.
An insert? what is that?
When cutting a new thread into the unopened engine all grease or wax does not catch all the swarf but blowing into the engine constantly with high pressure air does. Close the engine breather and put the airline into the oil filler hole. All the swarf is blown out the hole while you are cutting the new thread so be prepared and wear goggles. if this is a metric screw with 12mm you might get away with threadcutting to a 1/2" x 20 TPI screw. This will only take out a little more metal and should reduce the risc of cutting the new thread at the wrong angle and thus the sealing washer will never seal again....
Remember one thing before you attempt to do a drilling operation on that case....The case material where the drain is located is really very thin. In your photo you will see that the material does go into the case a good bit in length, but it is no more than about 4 mm thick. With this in mind, any drilling or inserts installed there may not hold and in fact may break the case off.
The only real sure fire fix is to replace the case as anything less will only compromise your case and lead to an instant failure at some time in the future and the results could cause injury to the rider.
I know this is not what you wanted to hear....
Went out looking at it yesterday again, and it looks like something broke in the thread?! is this thing broken of, or is it just how it looks?? i did not tighten it that hard so i cant really undersyand this...
Same here. I thread the drain plug in by hand. throw a wrench on it. Once it start to feel snug I just give it one extra little twist and then its good to go. I only use a small 5 inch wrench so I don't put a lot of torque on the bolt. Run the bike for a few mins and check for leaks. I always take a look after the fist few laps at the track. Make sure there are no leaks after getting the motor hot.
I also tend to not replace the crush washers that often. It hate the feeling when it starts to flatten out. Feels like the plug is about to strip.
What bike is this? If it is a 2-stroke you can reduce the problems with the aluminum shavings by flushing the tranny a few times with diesel or kerosene before putting oil back in. Do the grease on the tap, install an insert, then flush a few times. Seen this many times with no problems.
If it was me, I'd also remove the right cover, and clutch assembly before doing the tap and flush. Just to eliminate the places shavings can get to and also to give better access to pour diesel in and ensure it flushes any shavings out the drain hole. Also to prevent getting diesel on the clutch plates, not that it will really hurt them.
That is one of the drain holes in the threads so that the majority of the oil can be drained. This is due to that very thin elevated portion of the case where the plug threads into. If you look very close, you will see the edge of the hole where the elevated portion of the case is shown and just how thin it is.
Yes it should be there.
Thank god for u Paw Paw! i had a minor heart attack when i first noticed it...
