What is the Perfect Person?
There is an ancient phrase in the western world called "Deus ex Machina". Translated, this means "A God from the Machine". In literature, this describes a common event at the end of Greek dramas in which a pulley would lower an actor playing a god over the stage to portray the realized moral of the story. The problem is, that we only glean the ideals of the storyteller whom we obviously cannot believe is perfect.
My question to the TED society is actually many questions: What are characteristics of great men and women? Is morality to be taken into account? How do we, as simple humans, see perfection? Most importantly, in what direction and by what method is best in order to try to become that "Perfect Person"?
*Keep in mind that I have written the word "person" and not "human" into my question. The perfect human would have, at its bare bones, non-existential traits such as strength, stamina, fertility, etc. In other words, do not confuse "Superhuman" with "Perfect Person".
Fritzie -
Jul 20 2012: Positive attributes include integrity, the courage to speak out about injustice even when it is difficult, the ability to see the good in others,the disposition to love deeply and to grow in understanding of self and others... But "perfect" and 'person" don't fit together, I think.
- +3
Jul 20 2012: As for the last part, I agree that they don't fit together in nature. Still, the vast, vast, majority of people see ideals and even physical attributes that they are compelled to mimic. Even though he/she is imaginary, the "Perfect Person", is also very real.
As for the particular attributes that you give, I definitely agree that in our hearts, we all recognize these as virtues. Still it seems like when you go deeper into these categories, there are divisions that a society tends to see as either virtuous or evil. For example:
Integrity can also be vanity or even intransigence.
The courage to speak out about injustice can only happen when you are able to see that there is injustice, and that there is, like C.S. Lewis put it, always a right and a wrong.
Seeing good in others may lead to a dangerous amount of optimism and bliss.
As for love, I think that could be tricky. Pure love is seen and recognized as a true virtue by anyone on the planet, regardless of their culture. However lust and greed, the two other "ugly sister" forms of love, are not always seen in the same light.
So I really think that with pure love, you have hit one of the great attributes of the "Perfect Person".Aug 1 2012: One of the main points of perfection is completion and I don't think it's possible for people to be complete, and subsequently perfect, on their own because humans were meant to connect with one another and form groups. Moving forward from this, I think the more people as a whole can commune together as a single unit, the more perfect we become. Individual people are like individual pixels making up a digital picture, which become complete when they come together to form a unified picture.
Aug 2 2012: That's definitely an interesting take!Jul 21 2012: The one who sees that there Is not one perfect person, but millions upon millions of them.
Is one wildflower more/less perfect than another? Is a 1st grader more perfect than a 3rd grader? We are all different and we are at different points along the learning process of the universe.
As for what you should develop and nurture within yourself? That is unique to you, and you must ask yourself what YOU love most about yourself. What do YOU admire most in other people. You cannot short-circuit the process of growth along the timeline of your own wisdom. Work for those things you 'think' are most wonderful, and then re-evaluate as you go. Part of our perfection is that our own future is open.
Jul 21 2012: But that's like saying that John D. Rockefeller was no different than Octomom!
I doubt that once somebody thought they were perfect that they would make changes to go beyond that. There's a way that we can call ourselves perfect while actually just using it as a boon for self-esteem, and at the same time, self-delusion. This belief in one's infallibility obviously would lead to some bad decisions.
Not that self-esteem is bad, in fact, I think it's what will allow people to look at themselves more critically and then perfect themselves.
I agree with your last paragraph though. There aren't going to be a million Presidents of the United States at one time, after all! Still, I do believe that I, personally can go through the road less traveled by observing others, and adapting myself to be more perfect without the usual chronological process.
Sandy S
Aug 3 2012: I would answer this question by taking human empiricism out of it. In other words, instead of asking "how do we, as simple humans, see perfection?", start by looking at Adam and Eve and finding a) the person most like them or b) the person least different from them.
- +1
I would go one step further though and give the perfect person a "birth handicap." Adam and Eve were created and a person, no matter how perfect, would still be subject to his/her parents genes.
Stephanie P
Jul 24 2012: I perfection is actually imperfection, because without imperfection there would be no way for people to become better. Without growth, perfection goes out the window and you're back to being perfectly imperfect.
- +1
Jul 25 2012: interesting insight! can't perfection be fluid though? austerity is imperfection in itself
Aug 8 2012: If by fluid you mean always changing or trying to change for the better, then yes, definitely. Or, wait, do you mean that people could shift from one type of perfect to another? Because then there would be many different ways to be a 'perfect person,' and this thread could be called 'What makes perfect people?'

Jul 21 2012: That made my day!
This question is was pretty much made to help me objectively see what is worth valuing in myself and what changes I need to make. If everyone did that, the world would have a very strong foundation, I believe. If I become an example of the "perfect person", then I bet that people would attach themselves to the same philosophy without me even deliberately proselytizing them.Jul 21 2012: I'll definitely remember mind spirit soul and strength, and the ultimate goal of being opposed to all that is wrong.
Peter Law
Jul 20 2012: Jesus Christ.
- +1
Jul 20 2012: That's true in one sense. The entire point of Christianity is to learn the traits of Jesus and internalize them, so therefore, we think of him as the perfect entity. This is despite the fact that in the Bible, even he had not wanted to sacrifice himself for his cause at first, which is a rare moment in which he doesn't seem exactly perfect.
But also, Jesus is the son of God, and he is not really a perfect person, so much as a demigod.
God is perfect, but he is perfect in a divine way that a human will never achieve.
So think of a person as a diamond. We judge the perfection of diamonds based on their ideal characteristics which are color, cut, clarity, carat, and certificate. Even though you may have a perfect diamond, that diamond cannot cure disease, think, or create.
People are limited in the same way, but there ought to be ways to judge their perfection. I would suggest that we create a "perfect person scale" made up of a ratio of aptitude to characteristics.
Jul 21 2012: Hi Zach.
Then I guess the perfect person would care for others more than themselves. Love others more than themselves, & seek good for others. Devoid of personal greed & ambition. All this is not possible for us at present, but we can aspire to these things.
Jul 21 2012: I definitely agree with that! Love seems to be admired universally as a perfect trait. (Well, at least among non-cynics.) ;)Jul 20 2012: Our view of perfection is imperfect because of our nature.
But perfection, apart from being an ideal, is a real state that is independent of our opinions.
Just as real 'right' or 'good' exists, and are not based on our opinions.
Great men and women are ones whose lives are of selfless service, and who strive to make the right choices even when such choices present great discomfort and inconvinience; and even when excuses would have been so good as to allow one fatal failing.
Zach Bundy
Jul 20 2012: I think that your assertion that we cannot perceive perfection is true. But that doesn't mean we never stop trying! Does someone who gets plastic surgery suddenly become perfect? In a shallow and immediate way, they are more perfect, but in the reality that humans sometimes don't see, they aren't.
- +2
I also believe that there is always a right and a wrong that is built into us. It's just that sometimes there are gray areas in which a society will not agree if a decision was perfect or imperfect. But again, who's to say that society is perfect?
That's the reason that I actually asked this question. There needs to be some scale to see that we are actually making self-improvements, rather than just praising ourselves.Aug 12 2012: Only knowledge helps to generate a better world ~~~Aug 12 2012: In my opnion ,a perfect person should possess the following traits :efficient,kind hearted ,and knowledgable .
First of all, an efficient person is fertile . In the modern society . it is true that we can not achieve our goal without fianncial foundation . It is crucial to fortell whether a person is successful or not base on the premise whether he is efficient or not . Noboby will wait for you to make a decision which will takes a long period to think . Time is precious . If a person is efficient enough , at least , he can fullfill the tasks in the daily life more quickly so that he contributes more to his family even the society than others . Many people complain a lot about his current fate, however, complainments does nothing to do with the improvement. Only increase one's efficientcy can help to change the miserable situations.
The main point is high efficiency foster the generation of fortune . The more fortuen one possess , the happier his life is . Having a happy life is the basic element to be a perfect person.
Second , a perfect person should be kind-hearted. Adam Smith argues in The wealth of Nations that people have traits of self-interests . Indeed ,there are too many wealth people in the world . However, not all of them are real happy . We have jus t talk about that wealth is the basic element of being perfect. However, the standard of perfection includes real happiness . Kind-hearted actions the feedback to the society from who gets a lot from her. For example , charity , is one of kind-hearted actions. Doing charity means the ability of not only helping ourselves but also heping the others in need so that to realize a more harmonious society . Being in good condition and thinking about the others is the second element of being perfection.
The first and second point is the elements requires to be physical and mentally perfection. Here comes the third element ,which also reflects mental perfection ,is knowledgable Knowledge generatesAug 5 2012: My opinion: The perfect person is someone who while doing all they can to reach their goals and striving to attain that which their ego and aspirations require: does as little harm to others as possible; tries to consider the widest implications of their choices and actions, and; accepts that while to do one's best may not be called greatness, it is fair to call it goodness.... and at times, that must be enough.
In other words, I believe there is no benchmark for perfection, nor can there ever be: Rather, there are countless examples of selfless nobility against which we can measure our own performance and what's left is to strive always to be a better, more worthy human being.... to earn the right each day, to breathe the same air as those we know are better than us.Aug 2 2012: It's not the answer we seek but the question that drives us.
Aristotle, in his book 'Delta of the Metaphysics', distinguishes three meanings of the term, or rather three different concepts. That perfect is:
1. is complete — which contains all the requisite parts;
2. which is so good that nothing of the kind could be better;
3. which has attained its purpose
For me, these three concepts guide my belief system with moral bearing providing the influence. Allow the question to drive us forward. If we know the answer, we would stop evolving.Jul 25 2012: Good luck in your quest for knowledge Zach. It's always fun to go back and forth with someone who seeks truth!
Jul 28 2012: Thank you, most worthy opponent!
Jul 28 2012: I like to think we're all in this together
Gord G
Jul 22 2012: I think the judgement of perfection is external to an individual's true self. We shouldn't strive to be perfect but rather strive to accept our imperfection as a sign of awareness.Jul 22 2012: Sure, there are some weeds among the wildflowers.
- 0
You don't think self-delusion is beautiful, so don't make those choices. Hopefully others come to see that during their journeys as well.
Who cares if it's the road less traveled? Care if it's the road that resonates with who you are. If you ARE on the road that resonates with who you are, then enjoy the journey and don't waste it looking for short cuts. :-D If you love Vivaldi's Four Seasons, why sit with your finger on the fast-forward button?Jul 21 2012: Perfect is an ideal that we will never reach. Perfect is an image. The longer you look at something, the more you will begin to see flaws. I'm sure my wife could expand on this in great detail after spending life with me, but it would take way more characters than this site allows :)
Jul 21 2012: But the question is asking what those ideals are! Without seeing them, then all motives in the world are arbitrary.
People don't consciously make bad decisions without caring, do they?
Jul 21 2012: I think the perfect person and the perfect life are arbitrary. Ask 10 people to define them and you may get 10 very different answers. I think people are always striving to improve, but I don't think anyone ever gets to the point when they think it's perfect. As your life improves, your definitions of what you want will change. People who are extremely successful still wake up with a to do list. It's part of the human condition
Zach Bundy
Jul 21 2012: It's true that many things are relative but there are a few select characteristics that we all admire such as justice, love, and good. In fact, if you look at the characteristics that people have already listed, they are a lot more common than you might expect! Moral relativism doesn't go so far as each person being almost a different intellectual species.
- +1
Whether you believe that perfection exists or not, it does. Humans can picture consequences and use their imaginations and intellect to make their lives a little more perfect with every decision. If we as humans can always do this, then it doesn't mean that perfection will ever exist in reality, but it means that our reality will improve. As a society, we find our common goals of self-improvement, and then do our best to execute them.
Without the idea of perfection, there are no goals. There is only acceptance of the present.Jul 21 2012: The quality of life for African-Americans in the southern U.S. certainly wasn't perfect. But did they just accept second-class citizenship, Jim Crow laws, lower wages, etc.? No way! They imagined a life that was more perfect for themselves and with that image burning in their minds, they fought for it.Jul 21 2012: You just made my point with your last post when you used the term "more perfect". Your language reflects judgement rather than emprical truth. As people, we will always aspire to be more than we are, but the end goal can never be perfection because it is subjective. Perfect to whom? You ? Me? What's "perfect" for one person is not for another. I also say the the definition of perfection (the perfect life, the perfect job) will change for any given person throughout their life.
Jul 21 2012: but it still exists! that's the point. There is obviously no actual perfection, but that doesn't stop us from believing in it.
Also, keep in mind that the "perfect life" is only a reflection of the "perfect person".
Perfection as I have gleaned it is actually almost identical to all of the people who have answered so far, except for those who don't want to believe in it.Jul 21 2012: Zach,
Give me one example of perfection in human or any other form that isn't your subjective opinion.
Write it down and seal it in an envelope. Open it in 20 years and see if you still think it's perfect. I am willing to go out on a limb and say you will feel differently about almost everything in 20 years. Things will change during that time in your life. Work, school, marriage, children, and the world will change everything.
There is no such thing as a perfect person. It doesn't exist.
Jul 25 2012: the whole point of asking the question is to see what universal conceptions of perfection were! For the third time, if you read other people's opinions, they are actually relatively similar!
If I knew what perfection was, then I wouldn't have asked the question. I'd just be another sad result of Deus ex Machina.
Joe Ling
Jul 21 2012: What is perfect?
- 0
For 1 person view on what might be perfect will be different from someone else view on what is perfect. Yet you can all agree on values that a perfect person would have but you look for different values in people depending on who you are.
So what is perfect?
Barry Palmer
Jul 21 2012: That is the question. What is your answer?Jul 20 2012: Hello Mr. Bundy,
- +1
I like the way you explain your topic and put your questions.
The list of virtues of the perfect person would be lengthy, so I will contribute just one at this time.
IMO, a necessary characteristic of the perfect person is leadership, to guide others toward perfection.
Jul 20 2012: Thank you!
I would also say that a great leader is often subject to be idolized as perfect.Jul 20 2012: M. Kemal Atatürk is the perfectest person ever. Perfect persons are the ones that can dedicate their life to their beliefs.

Exercise and Mental Illness
Exercise is good for the body, spirit and mind. Activity and exercise are especially important for people living with mental illness. Individuals living with mental illness often have a higher risk for medical illnesses (e.g., heart disease, diabetes and high cholesterol). Conversely, people with medical illnesses are at increased risk for developing mental illnesses, including depression, anxiety and substance abuse. All of this combined reinforces the power of exercise, which can be helpful in many ways.
1) Exercise can help to prevent medical illnesses including the following:
- Heart attacks (cardiovascular disease).
- Strokes (cerebrovascular disease).
- Type 2 diabetes.
- High blood pressure (hypertension).
- Cholesterol problems (hypercholesterolemia or hyperlipidemia).
- Metabolic syndrome.
- Cancers (e.g., breast cancer, lung cancer, endometrial cancer, colorectal cancer).
- Obesity.
- Osteoporosis and associated injuries from falling.
2) Exercise can help to treat certain medical illnesses and stop them from getting worse.
3) By improving ones general physical health, an individual is at less risk of developing mental illness.
4) Scientists have shown that regular aerobic exercise can decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression.
5) Exercise helps to improve energy, concentration and sleep, all of which are important for people living with mental illness.
Psychiatric Medications and Exercise
An active lifestyle is important for everyone. This is particularly true for those living with schizophrenia and other serious mental illnesses (e.g., bipolar disorder) who are treated with second-generation, atypical antipsychotic medication (SGAs) because they are more vulnerable to obesity. In 2004, a joint panel comprised of the American Diabetes Association, the American Psychiatric Association, the North American Association for the Study of Obesity and the Association of Clinical Endocrinologists issued a statement advising patients taking psychiatric medications. Those on SGAs may be at increased risk for obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol and heart disease. Exercise can be helpful in decreasing the risk of these troublesome side effects. Additionally, early detection—through blood tests—is imperative, and communication with ones doctor is extremely important.
Steps for Success
The 2013 U.S. government publication, Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, contains useful information for adults and children, including the recommendations that children and adolescents aged six to 17 years should get at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, and adults should aim for 30 minutes of exercise daily.
Some people may be intimidated and have a tough time committing to exercise regularly, and for many people, five hours a week sounds like a lot. Scientific studies have shown that movement of any kind can be very beneficial, even if it is only for a few minutes a few times each week. Walking is a very good exercise. Those with any medical conditions—including joint, heart or bone disease—should discuss their exercise program, recommended level of activity and any modifications they may need to make with their health care providers. These steps may be useful in forming an exercise routine.
Exercising on a Budget
Exercise doesnt have to be intimidating or expensive. A gym membership is not necessary to go for a jog around the park or for a walk with a friend in the neighborhood. Furthermore, exercise doesnt have to be a structured activity to be done at home or the gym, nor does it have to involve long walks or jogs. Choosing to walk to the corner store to buy milk, instead of driving, can be exercise. Taking the stairs instead of the elevator is another easy way to get in some extra exercise.
Here are a few fun, low cost fitness tips and ideas to help make exercise a part of a daily routine. Also, health care plans sometimes offer discounted gym memberships, and mental health providers may have an arrangement with local fitness centers to help people get free memberships.
Staying Motivated
Everyone loses motivation from time to time, and there are days when you just don't feel like exercising at all. An exercise buddy or trainer is often helpful to maintain momentum. It's important to keep a routine, and here are some options for when extra incentive is needed.
Exercise benefits the body and helps the mind feel more at ease. Physical and mental well-being is a tremendous reward for hard work.
NAMIs Hearts & Minds program offers many great resources on maintaining a healthy mind and body. Here are two that may be particularly helpful.

I left college in 1992 for multiple reasons, but mainly because of money; I was the only person in class that could not purchase the required books and equipment.
I came to the conclusion that education just wasn't my thing, so I decided to enlist in the Air Force in April of the same year. I was looking for a steady paycheck, a trained skill and some traveling.
I got through basic training and went on my merry way to Keesler AFB, Miss., for technical training. I thought it would be a lot of hands-on work, but I was shocked the first day of electronic concepts when we reported to a classroom and the only equipment was desks, chairs, blackboards and manuals.
I thought I was going to "fail out" and drive the school bus around base for the rest of my Air Force career! I worked hard and heard about all of the electronics classes that were Community College of the Air Force certified, but since I didn't really care about education, I didn't pay it any attention.
Somehow I passed all my classes and graduated as a 3-level Ground Radio Communications, what they now call an Apprentice. I thought it was awesome: "I am finished with school and training! Now I can finally get to work."
I arrived at Grand Forks AFB, N.D., in the frigid winter of January 1993.
During in-processing, I again heard about CCAF credits earned at tech school. I was surprised to learn how many I had already earned.
Base education center personnel told me about CLEP tests and how I could earn college credit without going to class. Most important, they were free! Although education wasn't my thing, I thought I would give it a shot. I took the General Math CLEP and passed – I earned six college credits and didn't have to step into a classroom to do it! This was the start of my educational journey, pursuing my CCAF.
In the four bases that followed, I took CLEP and DANTES tests to earn my CCAF degree. I attended ALS for my management credit and took a Speech class to complete my general education requirements. I earned my Electronic Systems Technology CCAF degree in 2002.
I attempted to go back to college again in the spring of 2003 to earn my bachelor's degree.
Unfortunately, the tempo ramped up even higher with the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom, while supporting Operation Enduring Freedom. I deployed soon after and had to put off education, but it really still wasn't my thing.
After my deployment, I enrolled in classes again. To my surprise, I did pretty well but was still wary because, again, education wasn't my thing. After another deployment, I received orders to Keesler AFB to become an instructor in my field. I thought to myself, "Great, back in the classroom again!"
My third day there, in early August 2006, my supervisor sat me down and asked about my education goals. He asked if I wanted to earn a bachelor's degree. I said yes even though in the back of my head I was thinking, "Dude, education isn't my thing!"
However, I didn't want to offend my new supervisor so I heard him out. He talked about an online program, which I wasn't too sure about, and how I would only have to take 10 classes to earn a bachelor's degree. My thought was "Only 10 classes … I'm game!"
He suggested I register immediately and get started. I hemmed and hawed but he was determined, so I did it. Four years later, taking one class at a time and one break for NCO Academy, I earned my bachelor's degree in the spring of 2010. I also earned another CCAF degree while pursuing my bachelor's – Instructor of Technology and Military Science.
I told my wife that my next step was a master's degree. She rolled her eyes and asked why.
I explained what I wanted to accomplish and she mumbled something about how for a person to keep saying education isn't their thing, there seemed to be an awful lot of educating going on! That was when it dawned on me that since my enlistment in the U.S. Air Force back in 1992, I have been getting educated for one thing or another. I have been in more classrooms, whether being instructed or instructing others, than a four-year college student. The system is geared around constant academic processes: tech school and CDCs, upgrade training and PME, and other additional duty certifications.
Now that I am in my master's degree program my attitude has changed for the better. I am an advocate for education. I was a unit mentor for the Year of the CCAF, and now I am involved in the Year of Continuing Education as one of four Secretaries of Education for the largest training wing in the U.S. Air Force.
My crowning accomplishment, though, is convincing my wife to go to college, and it will be one of the proudest moments of my life to see her walk across the stage and receive her bachelor's degree because she too thought education wasn't her thing!

A newspaper reporter dubbed the huffing and puffing little steam locomotive the Chattanooga Choo Choo. Although the Chattanooga's Terminal Station was significant in its role of the train era with it's "Track 29", little was known about the first Chattanooga Choo Choo. Only after Glenn Miller's orchestra made the catchy song popular in the late 1940's did the name become world famous. Introduced in 1941 by the Glenn Miller Orchestra, the song was featured in the movie "Sun Valley Serenade" and performed by Tex Beneke and the Modernaires. Harry Warren wrote the original music score, while Mack Gordon takes credit for the rhythmic words. The Chattanooga Choo Choo song traveled fast throughout the circles of Europe during World War II, and today it is an international favorite.

I was volunteering for Safety this year.
Early Saturday morning:
We are notified of a tea party that is taking place in a elevator and I'm asked to break it up. When I find said party, they're sitting on the floor with a doll house sized China set and a bottle of Coke in a ice bucket. I throw them out of the lift and tell them to take the party to the Gaming room as they have space and tables. (rumor has it they did this a couple more times)
Later on during the day:
I'm in the lift as I got out of my Dante cosplay and went down to the floor to go relax and have a good time. I'm stopped on the 8th floor to see a pick-nick going on. These girls (I believe) were pushing the buttons to call the lift and then would offer food to those who stopped. I got after them to stop or I would go get permission to break up the pick-nick from the Safety desk. Once I do get permission, I go break it up.
I'll post more when I can remember them

Jim Gangawere stood in the back of the hot, crowded American Legion hall in Frederick, listening as one person after another approached the microphone to ask a question of the state legislators on the stage in front of him.
The event on April 25 was organized by four members of Frederick County's delegation to the General Assembly to inform constituents about the requirements of a sweeping gun-control measure passed by the legislature in the 90-day session that ended on April 8.
Gangawere of Frederick said he wasn't a big gun enthusiast but had come to the town hall meeting because he was concerned about the continued erosion of people's freedoms, particularly the Second Amendment to the Constitution.
"[I'm] Just ticked at what they want to do to our rights," he said.
Del. Kathy Afzali (R-Dist. 4A) of Middletown told the standing-room-only crowd of about 300 people who turned out for the meeting held at the Francis Scott Key Post 11 that opponents of the bill have decided against attempting to take the measure to a referendum.
Instead, they want to focus on a possible court battle challenging the law's legitimacy because they don't think it's right to have citizens vote on a constitutionally-guaranteed freedom such as the right to bear arms, she said.
The bill, which was proposed by Gov. Martin O'Malley (D), would require anyone purchasing regulated firearms — which do not include hunting rifles and shotguns — to submit to a background check, fingerprinting and pay for a license.
About 40 types of guns have also been deemed "assault weapons" and banned, along with magazines holding more than 10 rounds. The bill also prevents those with a history of mental illness from obtaining firearms.
Once O'Malley signs the bill, it will go into effect on Oct. 1. No date has been set for when O'Malley will sign the bill, his Press Secretary Takirra Winfield said Monday.
Under the measure:
• People who move to Maryland after Oct. 1 have 90 days to pay a $15 registration fee to register their regulated firearms with the Maryland State Police.
• Anyone who orders a banned firearm before Oct. 1 but doesn't receive it until after that date may still take possession.
• Anyone who wants to buy a handgun after Oct. 1 must apply to the Maryland State Police for a license, which requires four hours of classroom and range training.
There are several exemptions to the training requirement, such as for honorably discharged members of the armed forces or National Guard or people who already own a regulated firearm.
The meeting was organized by Afzali, Del. Kelly Schulz (R-Dist. 4A) of New Market, Del. Patrick Hogan (R-Dist. 3A) of Frederick and Del. Michael Hough (R-Dist. 3B) of Brunswick to help educate voters on the bill and rally support against it.
Supporters of the measure, including Sen. Ronald N. Young (D-Dist. 3) of Frederick and Sen. Brian E. Frosh (D-Dist.16) of Chevy Chase, spoke at what was billed as an anti-gun violence rally Saturday at the Urbana Regional Library.
"Let's take this to the Supreme Court," Afzali told the crowd on April 25. "Let's let the Constitution be the guide for everything we do."
But some lawmakers believe gun rights supporters have a different motive for seeking redress in the courts rather than in the ballot box.
"I think they knew they were going to spend a lot of money and lose," by taking the issue to referendum, Frosh said.
A March poll by Goucher College showed 59 percent of Marylanders supported limiting the capacity of gun magazines; 82 percent backed fingerprinting for gun owners; 83 percent were for licensing; and 61 percent believed assault weapons should be banned.
Even Afzali cited a recent Washington Post poll that 85 percent of Marylanders supported the governor's bill.
"I think everything we've done [in the law] is with compelling reason," said Sen. Jamie B. Raskin (D-Dist. 20) of Takoma Park. "I think they're better off addressing their arguments to [Supreme Court] Justice [Antonin] Scalia and Chief Justice [John] Roberts than to the people of Maryland."
After the massacre of 20 students and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., there was a collective effort in Annapolis to do something about gun violence, Hogan said.
Republicans, who didn't want to give the impression they were turning a blind eye to gun violence, supported measures to strengthen background checks and increase school security, Hogan said.
But they also wanted to protect the rights of gun owners, and O'Malley's bill went too far, he said.
Hogan said the bill could have been worse, with provisions such as taxes on ammunition and a retroactive confiscation of assault weapons ultimately removed from the measure.
"We were able to make a bad bill better," he said.
The town hall meeting on April 25 was an effort not only to educate people about what's in the new law, but to use the momentum against it to motivate voters, several of the lawmakers said.
Historically, gun owners have always turned out at the polls in high numbers when gun-control measures go into effect, said Hough, who helped lead the Republican attack on the bill from his seat on the House Judiciary Committee.
He cited the 1994 Republican takeover of the U.S. House of Representatives as a prime example.
Former Democratic President Bill Clinton has blamed the results of that election largely on the passage of federal gun-control legislation that banned assault weapons in the previous Congress.
While 85 percent of people polled may say they support the governor's bill, not all of them strongly support it, Hough said.
It's up to Republicans to frame the issue in a way that wins over some of those people and funnels voter intensity on the gun issue, Hough said.
"The more we explain the bill, the more people will see problems in it," he said.

While summer's shoe options may leave a few people on the fence (we understand; not everyone's a Birkenstocks fan) fall's shoe news has us all rejoicing: We're going to be able to walk in these things! Thick soles and platforms are once again having their moment, and Aldo has created created a collection of non-clunky, seasonally-appropriate footwear to ease our way back into the chillier seasons.
Aldo's latest lookbook features everything you need in a good fall shoe, paired with what you actually want — rubber soles, chunky heels, and luxe materials like suede and leather. These are options that give you height, not a lesson in balancing on spindly stilettos. What a concept, right? Of course, if you'd prefer to stay closer to the ground, you can also expect some autumnal takes on classic silhouettes, like a loafer-d'Orsay-mix flat with synthetic hair and metallic brogues. And, should you be the kind of sensible lady who can actually sprint in a spiky heel, no worries; Aldo's new designs include something for you, as well.
Click through to see some the new styles that'll be available for scooping up soon — even before you need to swap out those favorite summer Birks.

Another excellent Saturday review. I've been a user of UltraEdit for many years and find it indispensible for day to day text editing use, such as logs, ini files, reg exports, config files, generic text and program dumps. From my viewpoint the main strengths in its favour is its small size, fast handling of files of all sizes, unicode support, ability to run self-contained from a USB memory stick and cheap(ish) price. I almost forgot to mention, the support is fantastic and IDM are always willing to listen (and often implement) new suggestions. It also has a lively support forum with expert users who are always willing to help with any aspect of the program.
For developing I find the compiler integration and flexibility of MultiEdit a much better choice. Almost the entire product is based on compilable macros with the source included. It is expensive though, so unless you are going to spend a lot of time using it or your company is paying, it can be rather tough to justify the price. Unfortunately it *still* doesn't support unicode format files despite myself and others requesting it over many years.
We'll see how well IDM competes with the upcoming version of UltraEdit for Programmers, UltraStudio.
Another interesting point regarding UltraEdit is IDM also offer an unlimited upgrades version for around the same cost of a single upgrade to MultiEdit ($100 approx). I don't think you'll ever regret paying that much for a lifetime of support and updates.
Thanks for letting me express my viewpoint on such a great site!Â

It's A Drive-Through Conspiracy
So this morning, I decide to stop at an unnamed drive-through to grab some breakfast. Well, about 2 minutes into the wait, everything halted. Nobody moved for over 10 minutes... and I couldn't escape! There is absolutely no way to get your car out of one of those things, and I think they do it on purpose! I had lots of time to think about it while I was texting my boss saying I was trapped in a drive-through and I'd be there as soon as I could make a break for it

Treatment Options for Metastatic or Advanced Prostate Cancer
When prostate cancer has spread to places in your body that aren't close to your prostate, it's called advanced prostate cancer. It's also called metastatic prostate cancer. Your doctor may suggest one or more of these treatments if you have advanced prostate cancer:
Hormone therapy. The goal of hormone treatment is to lower or block male hormones, such as testosterone, which cause the cancer to grow. This may be done in a few ways. One way is to get hormone shots every month or every several months. Another way is to have surgery that removes the testicles, which produce testosterone. Pills can also be taken to help control hormones, although these are not usually used as the only form of hormone therapy. Hormone treatment does not cure prostate cancer, but it does slow its growth. This treatment can be used alone, or it can be combined with internal or external radiation.
Radiation therapy. If your cancer has spread far from your prostate, such as to your bones, you may have external radiation, also called XRT, to help ease pain or other symptoms. You get external radiation by having a machine direct radiation from the outside of your body. If the cancer has spread to many places, such as several different bones, you may get an injection of a radioactive drug instead.
Chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to slow the growth of cancer and reduce symptoms. Chemotherapy is usually recommended if cancer has stopped responding to hormone treatment. Chemotherapy does not cure the cancer. It can decrease the pain associated with prostate cancer, shrink the tumor, decrease the levels of PSA, and has been shown to help some people live longer.
Vaccine therapy. A prostate cancer vaccine may be recommended for some men whose advanced cancer has stopped responding to hormone therapy but is not causing major symptoms. The vaccine does not cure the cancer but may help men live longer.
You should also learn all you can about your disease and treatment choices so you can help make decisions about your care. One of the best ways to get the information you need is to ask your doctor and other health care professionals. Make sure you ask how the treatment will change your daily life. Find out how your diet might have to change and how you will look and feel. Ask how successful the treatment usually is and find out about the risks and possible side effects.

Issue Papers
Social Security and Marginal Returns to Work Near Retirement
Using the Social Security Administration's MINT (Modeling Income in the Near Term) model, this paper calculates the marginal returns to work near retirement, as measured by the increase in benefits associated with an additional year of employment at the end of an individual's work life. With exceptions for certain population subgroups, the analysis finds that marginal returns on Social Security taxes paid near retirement are generally low. The paper also tests the effects on marginal returns of a variety of potential Social Security policy changes designed to improve incentives to work.
A Progressivity Index for Social Security
Using the Social Security Administration's MINT (Modeling Income in the Near Term) model, this paper analyzes the progressivity of the Old-Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program for current and future retirees. It uses a progressivity index that provides a summary measure of the distribution of taxes and benefits on a lifetime basis. Results indicate that OASDI lies roughly halfway between a flat replacement rate and a flat dollar benefit for current retirees. Projections suggest that progressivity will remain relatively similar for future retirees. In addition, the paper estimates the effects of several policy changes on progressivity for future retirees.
Poverty-level Annuitization Requirements in Social Security Proposals Incorporating Personal Retirement Accounts
In the current discussions of Social Security reform, voluntary personal retirement accounts have been proposed. Recent research and debate have focused on several aspects of these accounts, including how such accounts would affect aggregate saving, system finances, and benefit levels. Little attention, however, has been paid to policies that would govern the distribution of account balances. This analysis considers such policies with respect to the annuitization of account balances at retirement using the Social Security Administration's Modeling Income in the New Term (MINT) model and a modified version of a recent legislative proposal to evaluate the effects of partial annuitization requirements.
Treatment of Married Couples in the SSI Program
The Supplemental Security Income program serves as an income source of last resort for elderly or disabled individuals. This analysis identifies how marital status affects benefit rates and the counting of income and resources in determining eligibility.

Useful if you have a list of images called 1 2 3 4 and so on, you can adapt it to rewrite it as 4 (in this example) 0-padded number.
When you have different digital cameras, different people, friends and you want to merge all those pictures together, then you get files with same names or files with 3 and 4 digit numbers etc. The result is a mess if you copy it together into one directory.
But if you can add an offset to the picture number and set the number of leading zeros in the file name's number then you can manage.
OFFS != 0 and LZ the same as the files currently have is not supported. Or left as an exercise, hoho ;)

Your chances of finding a duplicate after running this nonstop for a year are about the same as being hit by a meteorite before finishing this sentence
The reason for the command I have is that it's more provably unique than the one that uuidgen creates. uuidgen creates a random one by default, or an unencrypted one based on time and network address if you give it the -t option.
Mine uses the mac address of the ethernet interface, the process id of the caller, and the system time down to nanosecond resolution, which is provably unique over all computers past, present, and future, subject to collisions in the cryptographic hash used, and the uniqueness of your mac address.
Warning: feel free to experiment, but be warned that the stdin of the hash is binary data at that point, which may mess up your terminal if you don't pipe it into something. If it does mess up though, just type
I have this as a file called deletekey in my ~/bin.

Prices vary based on delivery destination (it's a tax thing), so please change it if you're not shipping within United States as it might affect the price! (Why?)
The Glenmorangie distillery was established in 1843, on the Durnoch Firth by brothers William and John Mathesen. The site originally held a farm distillery under the name Morangie. There is evidence that distillation was carried out at this site during the early 18th century. Production began in November of 1849. During the latter part of the 19th century Glenmorangie began overseas exportation and destinations included Europe and the United States. Such was the dependence on foreign trade that the distillery closed in 1931 following the enactment of US Prohibition and the Great Depression. The distillery remained closed until November of 1936. Macdonald and Muir Ltd, who purchased the company over the early part of the 19th century, put Glenmorangie Plc up for sale. Glenmorangie Plc included the distilleries Ardbeg, Glen Moray and Glenmorangie and, after frenzied bidding, the group was acquired by Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessey for £300 million. To some extent, Glenmorangie were pioneers in the field of wood finishes. Delectable examples include the Sauternes-finished Nectar D'Or and the Côte De Beaune-finished twelve year-old. 2008 saw a rather unusual release; Glenmorangie's Signet. Signet is a single malt whisky distilled from chocolate malt and has a delightful flavour. The range is large and features a number of finished whiskies as well as the more traditional core expressions.

William Mathesen, formerly part-owner of Balblair Distillery, and brother John apply for a license for a farm distillery called Morangie, which is rebuilt by them. Production took place here in 1738, and possibly since 1703.
Production starts in November.
Exports to foreign destinations such as Rome and San Francisco commence.
The distillery is rebuilt and Glenmorangie Distillery Company Ltd is formed.
40% of the distillery is sold to GDCL´s largest customer, Macdonald & Muir Ltd and 60 % to the whisky dealer Durham. Macdonald & Muir takes over Durham's share by the late thirties.
The distillery closes due to the depression and prohibition in the US.
Production restarts in November.
Number of stills increases from two to four and own maltings ceases.
The number of stills is doubled to eight.
A visitor centre opens. September sees the launch of Glenmorangie Port Wood Finish which marks the start of a number of different wood finishes.
Glenmorangie´s Tain l´Hermitage (Rhone wine) is launched
Two different wood finishes are launched, Madeira and Sherry. Glenmorangie plc is formed.
A museum opens.
A limited edition of a cask strength port wood finish is released in July, Cote de Beaune Wood Finish is launched in September and Three Cask (ex-Bourbon, charred oak and ex-Rioja) is launched in October for Sainsbury's.
A Sauternes finish, a 20 year Glenmorangie with two and a half years in Sauternes casks, is launched.
Burgundy Wood Finish is launched in July and a limited edition of cask strength Madeira-matured (i. e. not just finished) in August.
Glenmorangie buys the Scotch Malt Whisky Society which has 27,000 members worldwide. The Macdonald family decides to sell Glenmorangie plc (including the distilleries Glenmorangie, Glen Moray and Ardbeg). Bidding is frantic and the buyer is Moët Hennessy (owned by Diageo and LVMH) at
A 30 year old is launched.
The entire range gets a complete makeover with 15 and 30 year olds being discontinued and the rest are given new names as well as new packaging.
An expansion of production capacity is started. Astar and Signet are launched.

Men's tennis set to host MTSU in Bristol
Requires Adobe Flash
Friday, February 18, 2011
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn.
(Feb. 18, 2011) -
After earning its second victory of the season last weekend against Appalachian State, the No. 50 ETSU men's tennis team returns to action on Saturday night as they host Middle Tennessee State at the Bristol Racquet Club. Match time is set for 7 p.m.
The Bucs have faced one of the most difficult schedules in the country through the first six matches of the season as five of their first six matches came against nationally ranked opponents. ETSU heads into the weekend with a 2-4 overall record that includes wins against nationally ranked Binghamton and Appalachian State.
Juan Ramirez
(Asuncion, Paraguay),
Grega Teraz
(Mojstrana, Slovenia), and
Charles Bottoni
(Bois Guillaume, France) lead the Bucs with two wins each in singles play, while Ramirez and teammate
Robin Akser
(Ornskoldsvik, Sweden) lead the way in doubles with three wins. In addition, ETSU sophomore
Jesus Bandres
(Caracas, Venezuela) is currently ranked No. 112 nationally in the ITA singles rankings.
Meanwhile, MTSU is looking to rebound from losses to Brown and Yale a week ago. Middle Tennessee is 4-3 on the season with wins against UT Chattanooga, Tennessee Tech, Morehead State, and Northern Illinois.
Freshman Ben Davis is leading the way as an individual for the Blue Raiders as he remains undefeated in singles action with an impressive 7-0 record at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions. In doubles, Davis has paired with sophomore Shaun Waters posting a 4-3 record at the No. 1 position.
Following Saturday night's match against MTSU, the Bucs will take on USC Upstate in the first Atlantic Sun Conference match of the season on Saturday, Feb. 26. The match will take place in Spartanburg, S.C. and will begin at 1 p.m.

Botanical name: Dahlia
Plant type: Flower
USDA Hardiness Zones: 8, 9, 10
Sun exposure: Full Sun
Flower color: Red, Pink, Orange, Yellow, Purple, White
Bloom time: Summer
Where to buy dahlia seeds and bulbs: Burpee Gardening
In cold climates of North America, dahlias are known as tuberous-rooted tender perennials, grown from small brown biennial tubers planted in the spring.
These colorful spiky flowers generally bloom from midsummer to first frost, when many other plants are past their best. They range in color and even size, from the giant 10-inch "dinnerplate" blooms to the 2-inch lollipop-style pompons. Most varieties grow 4 to 5 feet tall.
Though not well suited to extremely hot and humid climates, such as much of Texas and Florida, dahlias brighten up any sunny garden with a growing season that's at least 120 days long. Dahlias thrive in the cool, moist climates of the Pacific Coast, where blooms may be an inch larger and deeper.
- Don't be in a hurry to plant; dahlias will struggle in cold soil. Ground temperature should reach 60°F. Wait until all danger of spring frost is past before planting. (We plant them a little after the tomato plants go in.)
- Select a planting site with full sun. Dahlias grow more blooms with 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight. They love the morning sunlight best. Choose a location with a bit of protection from the wind.
- Dahlias thrive in rich, well-drained soil. PH level of your soil should be 6.5-7.0, slightly acidic.If you have a heavier soil, add in sand, peat moss or bagged steer manure to lighten and loosen the soil texture for better drainage.
- Bedding dahlias can be planted 9 to 12 inches apart. The smaller flowering types, which are usually about three feet tall, should be spaced two feet apart. The taller, larger-flowered dahlias should be spaced three feet apart.
- The planting hole should be slightly larger than the root ball of the plant and incorporate some compost or sphagnum peat moss into the soil. It also helps to mix a handful of bonemeal into the planting hole. Otherwise, do not fertilize at planting.
- Avoid dahlia tubers that appear wrinkled or rotten. A little bit of green growth is a good sign. Don't break or cut individual dahlia tubers as you would potatoes.
- Plant them whole, with the growing points, or "eyes," facing up, about 6 to 8 inches deep. The crowns should be just above soil level.
- Tall, large-flowered cultivars will require support. Place stakes (five to six feet tall) around plants at planting time and tie stems to them as the plants grow.
- Large dahlias and those grown solely for cut flowers are best grown in a dedicated plot in rows on their own, free from competition from other plants. Dahlias of medium to low height mix well with other summer flowers. If you only have a vegetable garden, it's the perfect place to put a row of dahlias for cutting (and something to look at while you're weeding!).
- Dahlias start blooming about 8 weeks after planting, starting in mid-July.
- Some gardeners start tubers indoors a month ahead to get a jump on the season.
- Do not water the tubers right after planting; this encourages rot. Wait until the sprouts have appeared above the soil to water.
- Do not cover the dahlias with mulch or bark or sprouting is more challenging; apply slug and snail bait to avoid pests.
- There's no need to water the soil until the dahlia plants appear; in fact, overwatering can cause tubers to rot. After dahlias are established, provide a deep watering 2 to 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes with a sprinkler (and more in dry, hot climates).
- Dahlias benefit from a low-nitrogen liquid fertilizer (similar to what you would use for vegetables) such as a 5-10-10 or 10-20-20. Fertilize after sprouting and then every 3 to 4 weeks from mid-summer until early Autumn. Do NOT overfertilize, especially with nitrogen, or you risk small/no bloms, weak tubers, or rot.
- Like many large-flower hybrid plants, the big dahlias may need extra attention before or after rain, when open blooms tend to fill up with water or take a beating from the wind.
- Bedding dahlias need no staking or disbudding; simply pinch out the growing point to encourage bushiness, and deadhead as the flowers fade. Pinch the center shoot just above the third set of leaves.
- For the taller dahlias, insert stakes at planting time. Moderately pinch, disbranch, and disbud, and deadhead to produce a showy display for 3 months or more.
- Dahlia foliage blackens with the first frost.
- Dahlias are hearty to zone 8 and can be cut back and left in the ground to overwinter; cover with a deep, dry mulch. Elsewhere, the tuberous roots should be lifted and stored during the winter. (Some readers find, however, that dahlias will survive in zone 7 if the winter isn't too severe.)
- Slugs and snails: Bait 2 weeks after planting and continue to bait throughout the season.
- Mites: To avoid spider mites, spray beginning in late July and continue to spray through September. Speak to your garden center about recommended sprays for your area.
- Earwigs and Cucumber Beetle: They can eat the petals though they do not hurt the plant itself
- Aphids
- Deer
- Powdery Mildew: This commonly shows up in the fall. You can preventatively spray before this issue arises from late July to August.
Taking Up the Tubers
In cold regions, if you wish to save your plants, you have to dig up the tubers in early fall and store them over the winter.
Dahlias may be hardy to USDA Zone 8. There they can be left in the ground to overwinter. In areas that get frost, including most parts of Zone 5, a killing frost—or a touch of frost—can help the bulb to shut down/go dormant.
- Foliage should be cut back to 2 to 4 inches above ground and lifting and separating should be completed.
- Gently shake the soil off the tubers.
- Cut rotten tubers off the clump and leave upside down to dry naturally.
- Pack in a loose, fluffy material (vermiculite, dry sand, Styrofoam peanuts).
- Store in a well-ventilated, frost-free place—40 to 45 degrees F is ideal, 35 to 50 degrees F is acceptable.
- Take out the tubers in the spring, separate them from the parent clump, and begin again.
- If this all seems like too much bother or you do not have the right storage place, skip digging and storing, and just start over by buying new tubers in the spring.
Recommended Varieties
Picking a favorite dahlia is like going through a button box. There is a great spectrum of color, size, and shape. Here are some popular choices:
- 'Bishop of Llandaff': small, scarlet, intense flowers with handsome, dark-burgundy foliage
- 'Miss Rose Fletcher': an elegant, spiky, pink cactus plant with 6-inch globes of long, quilled, shell-pink petals
- 'Bonne Esperance', aka 'Good Hope': a foot-tall dwarf that bears 1-1/2-inch, rosy-pink daisies all summer that are reminiscent of Victoria bedding dahlias (though it debuted in 1948)
- 'Kidd's Climax': the ultimate in irrational beauty with 10-inch "dinnerplate" flowers with hundreds of pink pentals suffused with gold
- 'Jersey's Beauty': a 7-foot tall pink plant with hand-size flowers that brings great energy to the fall garden.
Wit & Wisdom
The dahlia was named for Anders Dahl (botanist), born on March 17, 1751.
The Dahlia you brought to our isle
Your praises forever shall speak
'Mid gardens as sweet as your smile
And colour as bright as your cheek.
–Lord Holland (1773–1840)

16? man you're old!
My three children have been involved with the 4H for many many years.
You should see some of the welding projects entered into 4H competitions but kids 3,4,5 years younger than you.
Some of them were fantastic, showed a lot of skill and ingenuity.
When you live on a working farm, ingenuity is important!

Jaybird & Mais 1953 Cobird Co-Adhesive Stretch Tape is a stretch bandage manufactured to compete with any co-adhesive on the market today. Utilizing a specialized stretch fabric, Jaybird has developed a taping bandage with the following features:
Please see Jaybird's Taping Techniques reference for the proper way to tape preventative and post-injury applications.
(1 to 23 rolls)
(24 to 71 rolls)
(72 to 143 rolls)
(>= 144 rolls)
* see individual roll price to left

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.
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils

Comments: Very stable and durable equipment. The seat is very comfortable and great for the back. The pedals are big enough for any size feet. Is heavy once put together, not as easy to move as video shows, so make sure you build it where your going to keep it. Well worth the money. Great investment! Very happy with this product and customer service is great too! Thank you Pro-form!
