Hey I have about 50 North resp. they are adjustable by 3 straps and to my knowledge one size fits all. Get a north it might be more money but its the industry standard. There are about 5 halfmask models that are all really similar I think I have a 4500 in my bag. If you live by me id just give you half a dozenNever Satisfied

3m respirators are very good.
Hello , I see you were inquiring about the 3m masks, Unless your face is very small and narrow you probably wont need a small, I have been fit tested in the medium and the large, and depending on how tight you tension the straps you could potentially fit either size. It all depends on the width or your face , chin and cheekbone structure. I would recommend spending a few extra bucks and get a 7500 hundred series mask though. The Face cup on the 6300 is hard plastic with a rubber edged cup , which i had a skin reaction to, and found the hard cup hurt my nose. The 7500 is blue silicone with only the actual filter attach points and the strap holders being hard plastic. They are way more comfortable and mostly hypo allergenic. They are forgiving in terms of sealing if your not freshly clean shaven, but if your gonna wear the mask you should be trimmed close. For what the base mask costs, you could buy one of each and try them yourself if you cant get fit tested. I have used them everyday for years, and i think they are more of the industry standard, but im not gonna argue. if your welding get the pink 2097 pancake filters and you should be good to go for most uses, and it fits under most common welding helmets. If you work for a company , you could see if they will cover the costs to provide, and maybe get you fit tested.They are pretty cheap to get , and you shouldnt have any health issues down the road.
I have a welding addiction
...the only stupid question is the one you didn't ask
I personally wear a large but I have a rather large melon. (My welding lid headband is alsmost maxed out!) The perferable method would be try them before you buy but if your guessing the medium would be your best bet to start with. Personally the North does fit me at all, but everyone is different.Dynasty 200DX, first generationMakita 5" grinder

High-Flying Airships Show Promise as the Future of Air Freight
When it comes to the products we use every day — from food, to clothing, to household items — the fact that they are often shipped from all corners of the Earth means that they generally have a shockingly high carbon footprint. However former UK government chief scientific adviser Professor Sir David King believes that we can greatly reduce the carbon footprint of freight by re-employing a form of transport from the past – the airship.
Unsurprisingly, the airship fell out of favor as a form of personal travel after the Hindenburg disaster, but in recent years the likes of Boeing and Lockheed Martin have been redeveloping the technology. The military in particular has pursued airships being as long-range recon units.
However King believes that instead of finding terrorists, airships could be better used to transport our freight at a much smaller environmental cost. Speaking at the World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment in Oxford, Sir King said to UK newspaper The Guardian that, "there are an awful lot of people we talk to who say this is going to happen. This is something I believe is going to happen."
It would be unwise to bet against him. With the likes of high-speed rail proving a rapid, more environmentally-friendly alternative to air travel, greener forms of transport are becoming more and more 'vogue'. It is not surprising, as the transport industry currently represents 22% of greenhouse gases in Europe. In the States, it is even more.
As such, blimps could soon be given more useful tasks than simply advertising firms above football games. Of course, they wouldn't be used for jobs that needed a more rapid delivery – such as priority mail and perishable food stuffs, but for not-so urgent items they can provide a lower-cost and greener alternative.
Here's hoping the idea takes off (pun intended).

Hi folks,
The 517 million dollar LEMV contract for Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV)and Northrop Grumman is a very different proposition from the dreaded German Cargolifter. HAV are a real airship company with a great product in the HAV 304 / Skycat. Cargolifter was an LTA industry joke, it was designed to take money from both ignorant investors and the EU, spend a lot of it on themselves and then throw the rest away on crazy sub contracts. The never even finished the drawings yet alone built a sensible blimp. Their only legacy was a giant hangar near Berlin that is now a greenhouse.
They did nothing, but HAV a real airship company will change aviation history with their hybrid airship.

This was already attempted once, and the private company failed miserably.
July 1, 2010 at 2:35 pm
Love the innovation and idea of traveling by airship. The idea that these would be cargo carriers bothers me a bit because it seems smarter to buy local.
I'm thinking this smells like an attempt to design a way around the reality that the global economy is likely to collapse once fossil fuel energy costs get too high. Might be more effective to design for supporting local community development.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

ETSU's Zakee Wadood earns honorable mention All-America
Thursday, April 01, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 1, 2004) - East Tennessee State University senior Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.) earned honorable mention honors on the Associated Press All-America team released earlier this week. For Wadood, the All-America honor is just the most recent award in what was a stellar season for the 6-foot-6, 210-pound forward. Along with averaging a team-high 8.0 rebounds and setting a single-season record for blocks with 70, Wadood was second on the team in scoring with 14.8 points per game and was selected as the Southern Conference Player of the Year by both the league's coaches and media. Wadood finished fourth in the country with 2.8 steals per game and 24th in the country with 2.1 blocks per game, while hitting on 43 percent of his shots from the field and collecting 92 steals for the season. In addition, Wadood was named first-team All-SoCon for the second-straight year after helping the Buccaneers to one of the best records in school history. ETSU finished the year 27-6 overall and nearly collected a perfect conference mark at 15-1. The Bucs won their second-straight SoCon Tournament title and went on to nearly upset No. 4-seeded Cincinnati, before falling 80-77 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

here is a tip i learned that if u have to cut tile board or plastic U can use the fine tooth metal blade 18 tpi i think to cut it, thats if u dont have a all purpose blade handy. it works just like a hacksaw blade little slow going but a nice clean cut doesnt splinter the plastic at all.

i work on a farm and we go threw ALOT of sawzall blades and i always use milwaukee. but i picked up some 14 teeth per inch blades that were soupesed to be good for 3/16-1/4 steel and i was cutting 1/8 angle and it chewed them right up.Jake
I have tried numerous sawzall blades and due to the fact that they are so thin, I dont think you will find a good blade that cuts any amount of metal no matter what the thickness of the metal is. All brands wear and last about the same amount of time unless you want to pay about $10 a blade.Ken

Metal cutting circular saw blades.
Hello all,
I've been following this forum for a little while.
I saw this thread and thought I should add my 2 cents worth so I signed up.
I am a carpenter by trade but have always loved metalwork.
I've wanted a cold saw for a while but didn't want to shell out the big$ for a brand name saw for my hobby shop. I found a saw called "Evolution". I ordered a 14" chopsaw + extra blade and 2 7 1/4 circular saw blades from homedepot online. The chopsaw runs at 1500rpm and the circ blades run up to 5800rpm.
Everything was delivered to my house for about $500! Really quick!
The circ blades kick butt, cutting 1/4" and 3/8" plate like butter. You just have to control the feed speed or else you get some vibration and the blade cuts very fast and begins to chip the teeth a little.
The chop saw is good also. Positive clamping , tool free adjustment. There is a little play in the main pivot but it gives a good square cut still .
I know you get what you pay for so I was little wary, But I'm super happy with it , and $100 for a 14" metalblade and $45 for a 7 1'4 seems pretty decent value compared to the major brand names.
Just my 2cents.

Comments On Aug 31, 2015:Pivot works never ceases to amaze me these are incredibly long lasting bearings and the collars manage to keep the dirt out fairly well
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Apr 03, 2015:Everything fit properly, but the bearings didn't last but maybe 30 to 40 hours. Upon inspection I noticed no grease on the bearing that failed, other side bearing had grease. Lesson learned, guess I need to pry open the seals and lube before installing in the future.

Comments On Nov 10, 2014:This product has done its job. We ride a lot and power wash all the time. Keeps the water out and the bearings rolling smooth. Installation can be a chore, make sure to lube the "o" rings when installing your axle

Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jul 01, 2013:I saw no increase in longevity with rear wheel bearing life. We have streams and rivers that can be better than axle deep so I hoped this would help, but not really. The threads of the axle seem to destroy the o-ring and water is still finding it's way into the hub.
I've gone to the extent of getting bags of o-rings and putting new ones on each time the axle comes out - same as day one.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jun 01, 2013:I have really struggled with these. It seems very tight getting my axle through, and I might have caused a knick inside the where the collar slips into the bearing because I can't pull the collar out now. Its wedged so tight that when I knocked on it from the back side, the whole bearing, seal and collar came out in one "assembly". So I can't get new grease in between the collar and bearing. I'm going to replace with stock or some other brand.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On May 28, 2013:this kit is pretty much the same as stock bearings and spacers but is made with an oring for the axle. you'd think that the factory would of thought of this. simple but very effective!

**** just got real for the heat. This actually helps the heat in a way though, lebron and wade now know, they have to be even better than last season, much much better to beat this team.
How do they keep doing it? The Lake show unloads an injury prone headcase that they were going to have to give 100 mil to for the best center of our generation who is just entering his prime. Man they're going to be tough to beat in the half court.
The teams in the rich cities keep on getting richer. Yippy
For us casual NBA fans. Where was he before LA?
Forgive my spelling. This was sent from my phone.
he's a liar and a fake. not rooting for him anymore. used to like him. always had him on my fantasy team. not any more.

Definitely a major challenge to the Heat's chances at repeating. Should be fun to watch.

Does employment = Good for society?
I hear this argument over and over again "It produces jobs, so it's good for people".
But surely there must be jobs that aren't good for society and therefore not really good for people in the long run.
Working in a factory that produces bombs is one example I often bring up. You get a salary, pay taxes and are able to provide for your family. BUT you make bombs, tools for killing.
I believe that the same argument can be made for: Narcotics trade, Human trafficking, Elite sports, Patent trolls and so on.
What's your take on this? Are all jobs good because they are jobs? Shouldn't we always look at what the result of those jobs are before making the argument that jobs are good?
Do you have any examples of jobs that are normally perceived as good that you really think are bad for society?
Jun 19 2013: That is the problem with a society that values money more than the dignity of the human being. The fact that something brings money does not make it good or right for the society. Societal values and the sanctity of human life must be considered.
Jun 22 2013: "Societal values and the sanctity of human life must be considered."
Well, if we got rid of money, they would be.Jun 17 2013: Not necessarily, the idea of someone being employed brings up the idea of people being able to create sufficient means to sustain their lives, but employment is not the only way this can be done. Today people are being scared into minimal paying jobs because of a fear of debt, and if the society was completely made out of jobs for people who are afraid of going into debt and the jobs themselves are not even enjoyable then theres no point in employment. There needs to be a creation of a resource based economy where people can be provided for without having to worry about losing their basic necessities. and the labor jobs that nobody wants to have can be taken over by technology while the jobs that require human thought can be taken by people but those jobs would not create an inequality and would be taken by few people but that system would mean more people are cared for and can spend time doing the things that they enjoy to do.
Jun 17 2013: Hi Jacob,
That's precisely how I feel.
Jun 18 2013: Im glad! its nice to see people really thinking about the world issues from a truly unbiased perspective and I seriously commend you for that. For a long time ive been arguing that the idea of full employed, which was brought up by economist Milton Friedman, should not be the goal of society anymore, that work for profit is not a necessity of life. Its wrong to create low paying labor jobs for the purpose of keeping the economy in circulation. If our economy was focused on protecting human life, preserving nature, and minimizing inequality, there would be a lot less worry about "employment" and a lot more focus on work for the sake of human progress which are the jobs that we really need.
Jun 18 2013: Yes! It's quite simple isn't it!Jun 18 2013: btw, i noticed that it says you live in Sweden. lucky! I've always wanted to live in Sweden! (well any of the Nordic Countries really)
Jun 18 2013: Yeah I'm lucky that way. Have to put in a lot of work to keep it good though and it's not going to well over here with our system..Jun 18 2013: Oh really? did Sweden get hit hard by the EU's recession? and anyway at least your don't have to live in the US...
Jun 18 2013: We got out of the recession better then most, but our right-wing government sold basically every state owned thing there was (well not everything but very much) to balance out the books, so now we have to rent our schools and hospitals back from private companies... Also there's nationalism (read racism) on the rise and they made it to parliament last election.
But we'll fix it!Jun 18 2013: oh man that really sucks, I hope you come out of it ok, the nords always seem to come out ok :)
Jun 18 2013: I hope that there's hope for your country as well! :)
Drew Bixby
Jun 18 2013: The war on drugs is arguably a cause of many issues not only in US, but Mexico, and South America. If the war was ended (i.e. drugs made legal, following the path of alcohol), all the related jobs would be eliminated. I fear one of the reasons the war on drugs will never be ended is BECAUSE of all the jobs which would be affected. This is indirectly answering your question.
- +1
Jun 20 2013: Drew,
when Obama visited Southern American leaders not long ago, they mentioned
that the War on Drugs had been lost.
But after our county Sheriff's busted 20 Mexican guys in a Panga Boat full of marijuana
on the sea shore 200 miles south of San Francisco, I disagree with their assessment.
I heard only 19 were taken to the jail. Must have been a miscount, ya think? I never heard
whether or not any monies were found, nor what happened to the inventory. Our media
lacks a bit in the inquisitive area.
Just prior to this happening, my nearby town hired a whole lot of New Cops, and a New Chief.
Seems Panga Boats were being found up and down our coast. Few Busts, and a lot of empty
Panga Boats.
We do need the job market stimulated. But the Washington DC money machine thinks it can
churn out jobs by prepayment. Not so. There is only one way. Businesses need customers.
That takes innovation, research and development, and sharing of ideas. New heavy handed
patent laws for the internet bunch won't help much.
NASA used to turn out new gizmo's from time to time, but that expensive well is dry.
The only activity on the horizon is Arms. The costs of research and development has been
so high that while the US can make and sell ten times the Arms of any other nation, there has
been little increase in demand. Arms businesses need customers too. So Washington DC
has to Arm Rebels and make War whenever it can. Catch-22 Those Wars have to be paid for.
And the bill has come due. A really bad idea that creeps into mind, is the making of a War on
our own shores. With that, you get a feeding frenzy of citizens making tanks. Ugh... It will
build the economy, but the cost in lives is really really high.
After the 2007 Bank profit-taking (bailout) and their consolidations, the Treasury looked like
a race horse stall that needed to be mucked out. No money for WPA type Infrastructure jobs.
I suppose we could give Bush a try again..Jun 20 2013: Precisely! A wonderful example for which to make your point and I agree with you 100%.Jun 22 2013: Good topic:),being a teacher at school I have thought of the question for a long time:what should I do to help students growing,not deprive them in healthy growing?
Obviously we are doing the most meaningful job in the world,but if we don't improve,keep thinking,keep reflecting,what we are teaching,doing not promote young people but hurt them badly,some of teachers' fault damage young people life a lot.all of that will be caused damaged result in the society.
So every job there are two sides results:the most important we humanbeing should keep improving,learning,being conscious...are always necessary.Jun 18 2013: The Luddites were destructive in defense of jobs; however, the new technologies brought on more jobs in the long run. Yes, many existing jobs and skill sets were made obsolete in the process, but the end result was better for more people.Jun 18 2013: Not all jobs are good jobs.
Like you said making weapons, drugs, alcohol, human trafficking, they're all jobs but they do more harm than good. Any job that has nothing to do with the betterment of the people is a bad job to me.
Why do we need jobs? For paper right? Because we're always hearing about all the horrible things about money and shortages, while there are stacks of paper and ink sitting in every staples. The federal reserve is a private company that keeps everyone all over the world working for it. Some harder then others, some more corrupt than others. So working for them is my example of a job perceived good but bad.
Jun 22 2013: No, we don't need jobs for paper.
We need jobs because of needs, wants, desires, dreams and so on.
Every human need is a job and every job is a human need. It has to be done.
We need jobs for resources. That's what we work for, what we need to live and we foolishly believe money is the only way to get them.
I am not for ending human trafficking because it is a job for someone.
But get rid of money and the job disappears.
Of course, we must make sure everyone's needs are freely met along with that.
We already do the work for all of it but because of money, many go without and a new job is created by sheer survival, like trafficking.
The biggest human traffickers are those who head financial institutions, banks, the Fed Reserve, lenders and so on.
They keep us running all over the place and all over one another for simple survival and it isn't necessary at all
Nothing costs money. Everything costs people.
Things don't.............."get done"............because of money.
Things.............,,,,,"don't get done"........because of money.Jun 18 2013: Good point People always give reasons whether they are true or not. You can get people to do things with just the magic word in your sentencce .......because....Jun 18 2013: I would say that before any legal job is undertaken, a great deal of checking and rechecking is undertaken. For example, before a factory produces bombs, a great deal of thought is given, legislators decide how much money to devote to defense, researchers research how much defense is necessary, the people get to vote and presumably vote intelligently, and so on. So a legal job is a good job. If it turns out to be a bad job, the next year they adjust the budget, and perhaps those people are out of a job.
Illegal jobs are illegal because they are destructive, bad for everybody. Such as narcotics, or human trafficking.

I would say that war is generally bad, wouldn't you?

Jun 17 2013: If it will make a difference or not can be debated, I believe that we do have the power to make a difference in this world.
Putting that aside, do you think that war is generally good or bad?
Comment deleted
Jun 17 2013: Am I correct in understanding that you view the upsides of war to outweigh the downsides?
LSD and cocaine surely have a greater positive-lean then war does?
(I also wanted to deliver my own justice at a time)Jun 17 2013: The metric on this is value, does the job create value.
The only way jobs can exist that do not create value is through the use of force.
Jun 17 2013: Yes, I agree. That is a rephrasing of my question, what jobs are valuable for society as a whole is my question.
But I'm also arguing that there's an opposite of value and that we can't only count the plus but have to take the minus into account as well.
Jun 17 2013: These jobs are created by force, yes they have a negative value, you might even say the more negative the more force that will be required.
Jun 18 2013: If I payed you to walk around in a circle all day (NOT using force, paying you) would you say that your job had value?Jun 18 2013: Yes, it has value to you.
Jun 18 2013: No, how?Jun 18 2013: By this reasoning this is not true "The only time that money and value do not coincide is when force is used."Jun 18 2013: Then why are you paying me?
Jun 18 2013: Because I can.Jun 18 2013: I'm wise to you, you are trying to get me to go around in circles right now, where is my pay? What is minimum wage in Sweden?
No this would have some value to you or you would not voluntarily pay for it.
Jun 18 2013: We don't have a minimum wage by law, our unions negotiate our salaries every now and then (usually in a 2 year period). But a person working in an H&M store here that is identical to a store in the US and does the exact same work, well we make nearly three times as much. But then again, everything is way more expensive.
And I'm not trying to make you go around in circles Pat, I'm merely showing that you're already doing that.
Maybe I'm crazy or I think that it would please the Walk-God Gurgameshing (made that up).
Now you're assuming that everybody that pays someone does so wisely and with intent of creating value, it's not necessarily so.Jun 18 2013: I'm not assuming, they pay because it has value to them.
There is no way to determine what has value to someone other than they are willing to pay for the service.
Warren Buffet and Bill Gates are giving away most of their fortune, apparently there is no exchange for this, but in reality it has value to them or they would not do it, if nothing more than they do not want to give it to the government.
Jun 18 2013: Do you know what altruism is?Jun 18 2013: Yes and there is an exchange
Jun 18 2013: You mean in the emotion of "Oh, I feel so good from helping others"?Jun 18 2013: Nope, why do you work in government? for the Kumbaya group hug or because that is what you do? Because you see that others are part of your group and you are responsible for your own?
Even the Rothschilds quit promoting war as a money making scheme (through goverment) as they realized that it cost them on their balance sheet.
What are you learning me here anyway?
Jun 18 2013: I don't work in government Pat, never got a dime for thousands of hours that I've put in to politics. I do it because I would have wanted someone else to have done it before me (treat others as you'd like to be treated) so that I would have it better growing up. Since that boat has sailed I now hope to provide better lives for those that are yet unborn.
Have you read the poem "tomorrows child"?
My group is EVERYONE, (if they'll have me) "my own" is humanity.
I don't understand "Even the Rothschilds quit promoting war as a money making scheme (through goverment) as they realized that it cost them on their balance sheet. "
I don't know, just trying to get to know you a bit better through these questions. You and I never seem to see eye to eye on any view on politics so I've stopped trying to teach you. It's clear that you've heard most arguments and made up your mind about these things.
What are you learning me?Jun 18 2013: I thought somewhere you said you were a politician?
The Rothchilds are at the center of every conspiracy theory, rightfully so, one of which was that they put Napolean into power so they could make money by lending money to France and Prussia to finance the war effort as they owned the bank of France and the bank of Prussia. But they realized that this was damaging their own assets as well.
Clearly I'm not learning you anything, I was saying do you see that:
"The metric on this is value, does the job create value.
The only way jobs can exist that do not create value is through the use of force."?Jun 18 2013: JImmy, I tried to address some of yours and Pat's misunderstanding further down, but I would like to suggest another source of your disagreement with Pat.
Some believe that a capitalistic system is the best we can do to ensure the most value for society. This belief, to my experience, comes with the underlying belief that societal value is the summation of unweighted individual value. That is to say, in math terms: S = A + B... + Z where each variable is the value each individual experiences without any consideration to how that persons exists in a society. In other terms, every bit of Bill Gates' personal value is considered just as positive for society as every bit of a homeless individual's.
Other opinions obviously exist. People who hold these generally believe in more social programs because they believe (in math terms) that societal value is also an aggregate of individual value but that each individual's value can better be explained by a logarithmic function. That is to say, increasing the value for the homeless does more for society than does improving the very rich's quality of life by the same nominal amount (not by a similar percentage). I hope this makes sense, and contributes. The disagreement and even your overarching question, can actually be reworded: "How can societal value best be measured?"
Jun 24 2013: Hi Michael,
The sources for my and Pats disagreements are plentiful, but that does sum a lot of it up. Nice explanation.Jun 17 2013: "The only way jobs can exist that do not create value is through the use of force."
Jobs create money, not value.
Jun 17 2013: Value is what someone would voluntarily pay for a service of product.
The only time that money and value do not coincide is when force is used.
Jun 18 2013: You don't need force to see the value in love for example... And you can't put a monetary price on that.Jun 18 2013: That is voluntary exchange one willing exchanges everything he has to help those he loves, in this case the exchange is survival of his family. The exchange to a soldier is survival of his fellow soldiers and of his country quite often at the cost of everything he has or ever will have.
Jun 18 2013: I don't have to sacrifice everything to love my girlfriend... And that has great value to me and I never use force... How do you explain that?Jun 18 2013: Are you saying there is no exchange between you? There is or you would not be together, as there is between you and your community or you would not continue to be a politician, as there is with any pets you may have, as there is between yourself and all life.
Jun 18 2013: Yep, I'm still on this though
"The only time that money and value do not coincide is when force is used."
By all your statements this has to be wrong!?Jun 18 2013: How so?
Jun 18 2013: My main point was that money doesn't buy happiness. I think it's important to not allow the basis of what makes a society better or worse be money. Money is a means to an end, but not valuable in itself and under all circumstances.Jun 18 2013: Jimmy is trying to point out the fact that money is not involved in his relationship with his girlfriend - no money is exchanging hands really, but there is still value connected to it. He is using this as an example of a time when money and value do not coincide but where force is still not being used. Obviously, it is still a mutually beneficial exchange on some level if you believe in the purely economical human who works on some level of self interest. I tend to agree with this position when you allow yourself to account for emotional goals and well being in self-interest as well as financial well being. However, the point is money does not exchange hands, value is added, and no force is used. There is simply a different medium of exchange (mutual benefit). I would suggest that your statement, "The only time that money and value do not coincide is when force is used" works in one direction but not the other. Value can be created without the medium of exchange of money and without force (in the instance of the relationship) but I do agree with you that money would not exchange hands if value was not being created for someone. Jimmy, your example of you paying Pat to walk in circles may not benefit society in some profound way but I do agree that the fact that you would be willing to pay means that it creates value to you at some level. That value may be in the fact that you think it helps you prove a point, or if you disliked Pat (not that I believe you do) it could be the fact that it may make him look foolish as others may believe it was a waste of his time. Even altruism is done in the hope that it improves the life of others. If someone considers this their goal, than working towards it and giving away their money creates value for them on some level even if it is principle and personal value. I hope I am making sense?Jun 18 2013: Michael
A paragraph every now and then would be helpful.
This conversation is about jobs. Yes the exchange may not require money.
"it could be the fact that it may make him look foolish as others may believe it was a waste of his time."
Now that would be valuable to Jimmy.
Jun 18 2013: Yes, exactly. I say this: "the fact that you would be willing to pay means that it creates value to you at some level."
I apologize for the lack of paragraph breaks - I was struggling to limit the response to the character limit. I believe that the disagreement here is at a deeper level. Above, I responded to another one of Jimmy's responses looking further at that, but I will summarize it here.
There seem to be two trains of thoughts (that I have identified) for societal value. One allows for a linear and strictly summation driven method for calculating societal value. That is to say, in math terms: S = A + B... + Z where each variable is the value each individual experiences without any consideration to how that persons exists in a society. In other terms, every bit of Bill Gates' personal value is considered just as positive for society as every bit of a homeless individual's. Other opinions obviously exist which is significant because Jimmy is focused on societal value not individual value.
The other model I have observed is this: they believe (in math terms) that societal value is also an aggregate of individual value but that each individual's value can better be explained by a logarithmic function. That is to say, increasing the value for the homeless does more for society than does improving the very rich's quality of life by the same nominal amount (not by a similar percentage) or that the addition to societal value from any one individual levels off at a certain point.
I am not actually taking a position here. I am simply trying to provide some insight into the disagreement so the discussion between you too can get out of the circle and address (at least what I believe to be) the core point of disagreement. That is not to say that I am correct, however.
Either way, this connects back to jobs because Jimmy is looking at societal value and this may or may not correlate exactly with individual value (which you discuss very well).Jun 18 2013: The basic disagreement (of which we do not agree on anything, not even agreeing to disagree) is socialism versus the free market, top down control or bottom up, individual verses the collective
I don't see where math is relevant.
Bill Gates is more valuable because he created more value which is why he is wealthy and the homeless man is not. The value of a person is how well he serves others. Bill Gates has served the world very well the homeless guy not so much. He gave everyone their own computer which in the days of Univac is really something.
No need to separate societal from individual value, they are the same. As I initially stated what is the metric? The metric is value, the only time a job deviates from value is when force is used.
Jun 18 2013: I suppose I was trying to make the same point as you were. That you need to develop a metric before the conversation can continue. The math is relevant because I have found, on one hand, those who believe the free market does best agree with you in that there is no difference between individual and societal value. (Straight addition).
However, others believe that societal value is not so simple - in essence that the value of adding to a homeless person's quality of life improves societal value more than improving the quality of life of someone who already enjoys a rather comfortable quality of life. This type of thinking may be better represented in a log representation. This thinking is normally more connected to politics that lean more on social programs.
I was just trying to give some insight into what I believe the disagreement is even deeper than just free market versus capitalism. I believe this difference in definition of societal value is what causes the disagreement between socialism and free market capitalism economics. Both systems are trying to maximize societal value. They just disagree on how societal value is calculated.Jun 18 2013: How does socialism determine that value?
The other overarching point is that socialism appears oblivious to the fact that this is not cooperative as they use force?
Jun 19 2013: Pat,
I cannot speak with certainty about the psychology behind socialism as I do not consider myself a socialist. However, I find that those who support social programs do not believe societal value is purely the summation of all individual's value. Instead, they believe that after a certain point it does not add much to society to further improve the quality of life of some members, or at least that it is more valuable to add to the value of life of others. This suggests to me a logarithmic shape to the impact of an individual's quality of life on societal value. I believe this is their belief. It is not necessarily mine.
This is in direct contrast to the underlying assumption of pure free market capitalism where societal value seems to be calculated as a pure addition of each individual's quality of life. You are welcome to disagree with my psychological observation only developed from talking to several people of different political leanings - but I am not here to defend either capitalism or socialism.
I simply believe that to proper answer the question being addressed we have to agree on a metric as you previously said, as well as how it is calculated. I simply am pointing out two underlying assumptions of how such a metric could be calculated as I have observed in the political realm. What do you think Pat? Do you think I am off base on how those who have more social leanings mentally, and likely subconsciously, calculate societal value? I realize that this is not how you personally calculate it, but with the assumption that those who have social leanings can be just as logical as those who do not, do you believe that I am off base? If you do, then that explains the confusion. I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks Pat.Jun 19 2013: I don't understand what you mean by logarithmic?
You are saying that a socialist believe in a diminishing return for helping some individuals?
I think that Socialism is based on emotional reasoning.
The result of which is less accountability, more force being used by the government through taxation, and less motivation.
No doubt Jimmy will chatter about this is not the case in the northern European countries. But the reality is that these countries still have a culture that is based on the previous free market in their countries which is the only reason they do not resemble the UK.
The main thing is that if you reward innovation you get innovation if you reward being a victim you get more victims.
Jun 19 2013: To be brief, yes. I believe that socialists believe that there is diminishing returns for helping unique individuals and their goal is to maximize the value of the society. This explains their goal of income redistribution.
I would suggest that this reasoning, if it is what they believe, would make their system rational. Others may disagree with it, but if they believe that diminishing returns applies in this situation than it is rational nonetheless.Jun 17 2013: Society isn't one thing but rather a collection of many people with different goals and interests. A job may be good for the person in it and the person who pays him/her while not being good for someone else. The job of "hit man" comes immediately to mind.
Interpersonal utility comparisons when some gain and others lose are notoriously difficult.
Jun 17 2013: Really difficult, that's why I'm asking TED ;-)
Fritzie -
Jun 17 2013: Stated differently, then, there is no universal, "correct" standard for ranking situations that increase the benefit for some and reduce it for others. If you could shift from a scenario in such a way as to make some people better off without making others worse off, many would call that a dominant or socially productive move. Others wouldn't necessarily, because making one better off without reducing the other increases the difference in well-being of the two in a way that some people might value negatively.
- +1
For example, if one situation is better for Pat and another better for Jimmy and the situations are otherwise the same, there is no objective way of ascertaining which is socially superior. People could logically disagree.
If you are interested in such questions and have a few hours a week available, you might try Michael Sandel's Justice course through edX. I think it is the second most popular course at Harvard after the intro to computer science class.
Sandel has at least one TED Talk up.
Jun 17 2013: Great tip! But I'm afraid I don't have the time at present, but I'll be sure to remember it.
I know that there's no universal "correct" answer for this, I though we mostly debated these kinds of things here on TED, I did ask if we could ask questions that we already knew the answer to...
There will always be people who oppose any change and/or system, that does not mean that we have to abide to their wishes... If we did that we'd still have slavery and kings and you get the idea.
Tell me Fritzie, do you believe in democracy?Jun 17 2013: I think it is the best system.
Jun 17 2013: I agree.
The reason I asked was because of your example where you put a 1-on-1 standoff as an example. In a democratic system no one would "win" that, and I think that's good. But I find reality to be more complex and even matched votes are nearly never an example of reality.
Pats and mine situation would never be the same, every life and situation is unique.
And I also wanted to check because I believe that the democratic model is for the benefit of as many as possible, and I think that if you believe in democracy you'd believe this too. I may be wrong about some of my assumptions and please correct me if I am (and I know that there are many other reasons that democracy is good, I'm trying to speak in general due to character limit).
With these assumptions I will presume that you want the well-being for as many as possible and suffering for as few as possible.
Surely there must be things we are payed to do that does not better mankind or is leading us in the wrong direction? Or, am I really wrong about this?Jun 18 2013: As you say, I think there are situations in which one person's gain could be valued more than another person's gain and one cannot just sum up how many people gained in different scenarios and use totals to establish whether two situations are equally desirable or fair.
To me, it is better to let the hungry person get the last chicken leg on the tray than to give it to the person who isn't hungry. I don't think this sort of idea of value conflicts with democracy.

Steve Harvey, the host of the nationally syndicated Steve Harvey Morning Show, can't count the number of impressive women he's met over the years, whether it's through the "Strawberry Letters" segment of his program or while on tour for his comedy shows. Yet when it comes to relationships, they can't figure out what makes men tick. Why? According to Steve it's because they're asking other women for advice when no one but another man can tell them how to find and keep a man. In Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, Steve lets women inside the mindset of a man and sheds light on concepts and questions such as:
The Ninety Day Rule: Ford requires it of its employees. Should you require it of your man?
The five questions every woman should ask a man to determine how serious he is.
And much more . . .
Sometimes funny, sometimes direct, but always truthful, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man is a book you must read if you want to understand how men think when it comes to relationships.
"Harvey's must-have guide to unlocking the male mind, understanding his game, anticipating his moves and countering with unstoppable offense and defense."
-Los Angeles Sentinel
"Women should listen to Steve Harvey when it comes to what a good man is about. Steve Harvey dispenses a lot of fabulous information about men. It's more than the average man will usually tell you. Steve Harvey will give it up."
-Aretha Franklin
"A thorough, witty guide to the modern man....those in need of tough (but ticklish) love advice should check it out (especially the hysterical last-chapter Q&A)."
-Publishers Weekly
"Filled with practical principles, rules and tips, and illustrated with humorous and warm-hearted anecdotes from Harvey's life and friendships, ACT LIKE A LADY, THINK LIKE A MAN gives readers the real deal about the differences between the sexes and how to bridge them for a mutually rewarding partnership."
-New York Beacon
"Harvey offers surprising insights into the male mentality and gives women strategies for taming that unruly beast."
-The Philadelphia Inquirer

Look Out Philly, Here We Come!
We've had a ton of fun over the past few years hosting beer dinners and "meet the brewer" events during Philly Beer Week. And after shipping a few truckloads of beer out to Philly again this summer, we decided to stop teasing our fans and keep the beer flowing all year round. Now we are back with our own "beer week" we like to call Base Camp for Beer Fanatics. Over 20 special events are scheduled across the greater Philadelphia area including 3 beer dinners, 5 beer & cheese pairings, brewer's luncheons, and our signature Beer-lesque night. We hope you'll join us as we pour our Damn Tasty beers in one of the nation's best beer-drinking cities.

Restoring a Harrier Jump Jet: Step-By-Step Photos
When Popular Mechanics magazine launched in 1902, it seemed almost impossible for our editors and writers to imagine what 2010 might look like, but that didn't stop them from trying. Since then, we've published countless predictions of scientists, inventors, and other visionaries as steam gave way to electricity, stone buildings were overshadowed by skyscrapers of concrete and steel, and advances in transportation and telecommunications seemed to shrink the world.
Now we live in an era we're used to thinking of as "the future." Though we still lack flying cars and jet packs (as predicted in 1928 and 1964), our clothes are made of milk (as we forecast in 1929), our foods are fortified with grass (1940), and our mail is sorted by robots and delivered by airplane (though perhaps not the way we anticipated in 1921). Surrounded by wonders and a fast-evolving culture of innovation, it's just as challenging today for us to imagine the next century as it must have been for our early 20th century colleagues to envision the fabled year 2000.
So we decided it was high time to take a look back at the predictions of the past, not only to score them on accuracy (some are shockingly prescient, some hilariously wrong) but also to pay tribute to the inventiveness of the past. We hope this collection of articles and essays, which first appeared in Popular Mechanics between 1903 and 1969, will inspire fabulous new visions as well as recalling the sense of wonder that previous generations of readers felt when they craned their necks at the first skyscrapers, read about the first heart transplant, and watched the first man walk on the moon. Power up your personal helicopter and join us on a glorious adventure in the many wonderful worlds of tomorrow.
A Venetian-like plan submitted for Chicago solves transportation problems and allows for a pleasant day of shopping.

I love this fragrance, its my signature fragrance. Whenever I walk out a room, people can always tell when I was there by the scent. I get compliments EVERY time I wear it.
Written by Sweet Neet on April 16, 2014Read Review details ►
I love this fragrance and was wearing it before it became a designer fragrance. In the 80's I bought it from Targets for $5. Then in the late 90's it disappeared and returned in 2000 under designer Christian Dior for a much higher price. I still wear it because I love it.
Written by Cheryl on April 08, 2014Read Review details ►
J'Adore is a beautiful light floral fragrance, very feminine with a light silage that gently follows the wearer. As it is a light fragrance care must be taken to not overwhelm with the scent - if you want a bold floral then J'Adore is not for you. However its lightness shouldn't be underestimated: I find the wearer's nose adjusts to it easily and care must be taken to not overdo with the scent. Its gentle violet, rose & orchid notes are perfect for an environment where you want to make a subtle fragrance statement, such as at the office, public meetings or church.
Written by Âme Cru on April 04, 2014Read Review details ►
From what I smelled the perfume was okay didn't last long though which was sad. To each it's own. I want a perfume that is going to last for more than 2 hours.
Written by Momo on February 27, 2014Read Review details ►
Love this scent, the only complaint I have is the scent doesn't seem to last very long. Maybe it's just my me, but even when I sniff my wrist, the scent seem to be barely detectable.

We modified our versatile Cruiser Pack and combined it with a pack basket to help protect your gear. Photographers and ice anglers love this pack, and it makes a sturdy canoe trip food pack. Flap-covered side pockets keep your insulated bottle, extra water, tackle box, or lunch near to hand while the rest of your things stay safe within the crush-resistant main compartment. Features include tough 18-ounce canvas, cotton shoulder straps, double bottom, tumpline and internal map pocket. Stained basket comes with its own shoulder harness for use alone. The #2 Cruiser Combo is a great food pack for two people for up to a week long canoe trip. Comes with heavy-duty poly liner. Purchase as pack only or combo with basket. Made in USA.
Technical Specifications
Item No. S-232 #2 Cruiser Combo
- Dimensions: 19H x 18W x 6D
- Capacity: 3,950 cubic inches : 64.73L
- Construction: 18-ounce canvas, box pack design, double sewn side seams, two side pockets, leather reinforcements for all rivets and high stress seams, top grade roller buckles, double canvas bottom, includes M-215 poly liner, compatible with 18" basket, also available in Waxed Canvas
History of this Product
Known primarily for his fifteen books covering such subjects as canoeing, wilderness camping, and nature, famous Northwood's author Calvin Rutstrum also developed the concept for the ash basket/soft pack combo. This versatile outfit, which we now call the Cruiser Combo, has been popular for years because it not only offers additional protection over other methods of packing but also rides low to avoid catching on branches and shrubs in the heavy woods.
In addition to his writing and important innovations, Cal Rutstrum, along with other notable conservationists such as Sigurd F. Olson, are also heavily credited with successfully campaigning and winning the late 1940's precedent-setting battle to ban all airplane traffic over what is today the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in northern Minnesota.

- Two excellent packs in one packageReview by Merry Prankster
I've had a #2 Cruiser Combo that's averaged 40 days a year outside for a decade and it's still in great shape.
There's only one change I'd make to DP's packs. I wish every pack had a "Deluxe" option to add the padded leather straps. (Posted on 6/16/2009)
- great pack, has done well in serviceReview by Wally
- Cruiser combo #2Review by Bluestem Paddler
- A Pack for All OccasionsReview by Red Kite
It would require to be a large daysack with ample space in the side pockets to accomodate the larger Thermos and Stanley flasks. I'd require it to carry blankets, a tarp and double as overnight camp pack as well as store all the essentials babies seem to need these days.
It fulfils all my needs and more. Incredibly well built as all Duluth packs are and with professional looks that you just know will get the job done. This pack is as much at home full of baby paraphenalia in the back of my car as it is in my 16ft wooden open canoe on weekend trip round a Scottish Loch. Or even a simple picnic jaunt through the countryside.
Made with traditional materials and traditional values which is a real tonic in today's modern lifestyle. And talking of children, I'll be handing this pack down to mine. Could you say the same of a modern nylon, techno-fabric rucksack? Hmmmm....

Let's talk about texture. Do you prefer the cold hardwood beneath your feet in the wee hours of the morning—or the sumptuous, ultra-plush pile of a shag weave, made in India from the finest New Zealand wool? Still conflicted? Try this area rug on for size. Yeah…we thought so.
Clip loose ends. Rotate occasionally to ensure even wear. Vacuum weekly on highest pile setting (with brushes farthest from floor). Blot stains immediately with a clean, damp cloth.

Far from merely reflecting the zeitgeist, poetry and architecture often change it. The subject of this exchange between poets, scholars and architects A.S.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., have re-opened negotiations on their bipartisan budget deal after House Republican proposals fell through tonight.
Aides to both men tell ABC News tonight they are "optimistic" an agreement can be reached.
"Given tonight's events, the leaders have decided to work toward a solution that would reopen the government and prevent default," said Don Stewart, a spokesman for McConnell. "They are optimistic an agreement can be reached."
Adam Jentleson, a spokesman for Reid, said: "Senator Reid and Senator McConnell have re-engaged in negotiations and are optimistic that an agreement is within reach."
House Speaker John Boehner left the Capitol tonight after calling off a planned vote on a House Republican plan to fund the government until Dec. 15 and temporarily extend the debt limit until Feb. 7, 2014.
With that now off the table, the Senate offers the best hope breaking the stalemate before the Oct. 17 deadline.
A Senate Democrat leadership aide said that a deal is "very close," though there are some technical legislative details to work out.
The contours of the plan remain largely the same as the one they put on hold this morning. And the Senate remains in session in the event that a deal can be filed tonight, when the details are worked out.
In order for a bill to be moved before the Thursday deadline, the Senate would need unanimous consent, meaning no senator could object.
Where's Joe Biden? VP Shies From Debt Fight Spotlight
The broad contours of the Senate compromise include funding the government until Jan. 15 and raising the debt limit through Feb. 7, 2014.
The Senate is still considering including income verification for people eligible for health care subsidies, a provision some House Republicans support.
Though those terms would take these debates largely off the table through the holiday season, it would only kick the can down the road. Eventually, lawmakers will face a similar need to both extend funding for the government and raise the debt ceiling in 2014.
The deal could also include some minor provisions that address the president's health care law, but the negotiations notably exclude any of the demands Republicans initially made to either defund or delay the law's central provisions.
The plan the GOP failed to take up tonight -- the second they had floated in one day -- proposed to end the partial government shutdown and raise the debt limit in exchange for eliminating the Treasury Department's ability to use "extraordinary measures" to temporarily extend the debt limit, and it would prevent congressional and administration staff from receiving government subsidies for health insurance premiums on the exchanges.
Their plan also did not delay or repeal the medical device tax, a provision in President Obama's health care law that Democrats want to preserve.
Yet even sweeteners that changed Obamacare were not enough to please conservative activists. Heritage Action, an arm of the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation, as well as the tea party-backed group FreedomWorks, have both urged Republican lawmakers to vote against the House proposal.

Two Baseball Bucs get called on day three of the 2011 MLB Draft
Requires Adobe Flash
Senior Derek Trent
Wednesday, June 08, 2011
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (June 8, 2011)
- The ETSU baseball team saw two more players get picked in the 2011 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft as senior catcher
Derek Trent
(Kingsport, Tenn.) and junior two-way player
Bo Reeder
(Cookeville, Tenn.) both were selected on the third day of the draft.
Trent did not have to wait long as he was the first name called on the day going in the 31st round to the Pittsburgh Pirates, while Reeder was selected in the 36th round by the Seattle Mariners.
On the season, Trent had a team-best .351 average and drove in 56 runs on 12 doubles and 14 home runs. The Kingsport, Tenn. native was also exceptional behind the plate throwing out 22 of 54 stolen base attempts on the year.
Reeder also had a phenomenal year hitting .316 with 15 home runs and 59 RBI at the plate and also was a co-national leader in saves with 18 on the mound.
The pair joins senior
Paul Hoilman
(Johnson City, Tenn.) who was taken in the 19th round by the Chicago Cubs, and is the largest ETSU draft class since 2006 when the Bucs had five players selected.

Waterford, a large industrial seaport, dominates the south bank of the Suir upstream from its confluence with the River Barrow in Waterford Harbour. Famous for its crystal, the town's economic prosperity has been based largely on glassware since the fifties, when the industry was revived. Danish Vikings founded Vadrefjord Colony here in 853. Under their rule, Waterford became the second Anglo-Norman town in Ireland, after Dublin.

Pre-Columbian Society Lecture
Recent Investigations at Xultun: The Taaj Group and its Murals
Ancient murals are rare in the Maya world, but rarer still are the archaeological remains of these murals' creators. In this presentation, Franco Rossi, Ph.D. Candidate: Department of Archaeology, Boston University, explores recent research at the Classic-period Maya site of Xultun, Guatemala, where the recent discovery of a late mural in the Taaj group provides an exciting opportunity to examine scribal practice and courtly culture at this large Classic period center. The mural depicts not only portraiture of elite figures in a courtly scene, but also presents a palimpsest of roughly sketched, minute calendrical glyphs interspersed among those painted figures. In 2012, focused excavations were conducted at the Taaj group yielding new insight into the lives of the poorly known artisans who inhabited it. This presentation details the recent archaeological excavations, discusses the mural in light of these investigations and examines the link between its content and the new discoveries made within the group.
This lecture is presented by the Pre-Columbian Society of the Penn Museum. Admission is free and open to the public.
