Epsilon Mu Chapter of Delta Tau Delta was chartered at Ball State University in 1966, and is one of the oldest fraternities on the BSU campus. University administration and faculty members have noted that our Delt chapter has been virtually immune to the cycles of ups and downs which hamper other fraternities, and that Delts have held a leading position on campus for over 40 years.
Epsilon Mu Chapter has frequently been a recipient of national attention. Consistently ranked as a top chapter in Delta Tau Delta, Epsilon Mu Chapter has won the "Hugh Shields" Award for one of the top ten outstanding chapters in the nation thirteen times in its 41 year history, the 3rd best of any other chapter in the country to be so recognized.
The brotherhood of Epsilon Mu has its beginning during the year of 1961 when this institution was known as Ball State Teachers College. It was September of that year that a small group of about 15 men realized their need to join together. They lived near one another on the second floor of Elliot Hall, and used the various members' rooms as their meeting places.
These men had originally called themselves "Tappa Kegga Dayski", but within a month changed their name to "Sigma Phi Nothing". Their primary purpose for organization was for participation in intramural sports, especially volleyball and basketball. The men's performance in these sports led to the adoption of their more permanent name, "Goovnaz", via suggestion of member Randy Ziolkowski.
The men of Goovnaz were quite active in the government and operation of Elliot Hall. The desk's staff was composed almost exclusively of its members, and one could be reasonably sure of reaching the entire organization by simply calling the Elliot Hall desk. In addition, so many Goovnaz members were on the Elliot Hall Council that at any given council meeting a near quorum of Goovnaz was always present.
During the summer of 1962, the men of Goovnaz gathered together for a party at brother Louis Abraham's cottage on a private lake near Brownstown, Indiana. It was at this party that the men realized that the brotherhood they had begun extended far beyond their participation in sports.
Throughout the 1962-1963 school year, the men continued to work together in various projects. They became even more active in the area of Hall Government. The Elliot Hall "Bike-A-Thon" team that year was practically a Goovnaz team.
In the summer of 1963, the men once again gathered at Louie's cottage. Fun and good times were the main activity, but it was at this party that Goovnaz decided to return to school with one main intent: to begin a new fraternity.
To secure a permanent meeting place was the men's first objective in the fall of 1963. The director of Elliot Hall authorized the men to use part of the fourth floor attic as the hall. The room was long, narrow, and had a sloping ceiling due to its location under eaves of the hall roof.
The room was actually an old storage closet, but before long was divided into three separate rooms. One was a kitchen, another was a meeting and study room and the third, a lounge. The walls were covered by thousands of cigarette packages the men had stapled together. The furnishings were whatever they could get their hands on.
It was in the windowless attic room that the Goovnaz Constitution and eventually the bylaws for Pi Delta Gamma were written. Countless hours were spent in this room working for fraternity status, and the brotherhood that resulted became a main factor in the men's lives.
On November 4, 1963, the members of Goovnaz passed their official constitution. Also on this date the men elected their first officers. There were Jerry Brelage, President; Dennis Hockney, Vice President; Tom Seffrin, Secretary; and Jeff Snyder, Treasurer. Little more that a month later, on December 12, the Ball State Senate passed the Goovnaz Constitution recognizing the group as an official campus organization.
During the first months of the 1963-1964 school year, a second group on campus working toward the same goal of becoming a fraternity. Located in neighboring Wagoner Hall, the group was composed of several men who wanted to organize immediately rather than to wait to participate in the school's deferred rush system. The men had chosen "Fratry", the Greek word meaning brotherhood, as their name. Tom Murray, Dan Guio, Robion Russell, Bill Thomas, and John Topvey were some of the brothers in this primarily freshmen organization.
Several meetings were held between the members of Goovnaz and Fratry with a possible merger as the goal. Soon it became obvious that neither of the two organizations could bring itself to unconditionally accept every member of the opposite organization as an active brother. Finally, the men of Goovnaz sent formal invitations for membership to a majority of the Fratry members. On January 27, 1964, Fratry was absorbed into the Goovnaz.
As a further approach to the goal of fraternity status, the organization changed its name to "Pi Delta Gamma". This name became official by approval of the Ball State Senate on February 12, 1964. With the change of the name came the election of the first officers of Pi Delta Gamma, they were Dennis Hockney, President; Gary Turner, Vice President; Jeff Snyder, Secretary; and Tom Seffrin, Treasurer.
At this time the Inter-Fraternity Council had assigned its expansion commissioner Jim Farrettson to aid the men in becoming an actual fraternity. He suggested that the group conduct its social activities as much like a fraternity as possible. More than willing to heed his advice, Pi Delta Gamma, on April 17, 1964, entertained the women of Sigma Sigma Sigma at its first sorority trade party.
May 11, 1964, brought the official crest of Pi Delta Gamma by the vote of the chapter. Designed by Ron Lancioni, the crest was based on the former ritual of Pi Delta Gamma installation. At the top of the crest were thirteen golden rays as a reflection of the thirteen Greek letters at the base. These Greek letters were the initials of the Pi Delta Gamma motto: "Thy duty to think and act for the benefit of man." It was upon this motto that the brotherhood of Pi Delta Gamma was founded.
Returning in the fall of the 1964-1965 school year, the men had one idea in mind: to be an official local fraternity by Christmas. Helping the men toward their goal was Dr. Margaret Kneuppel, Ball State Director of Professional Selection, who became the groups' first school sponsor on October 15, 1964. Also during the month of October, Pi Delta Gamma built and entered its first float in the Ball State Homecoming Parade. Finally, just before the Christmas break; Pi Delta Gamma was voted official Ball State fraternity status in the December 17, 1964 meeting of the Inter-Fraternity Council.
Now that Pi Delta Gamma was a fraternity, it could legally participate in the formal rush period. During the month of January, 1965 the men held their first smoker. Rush parties and coffee hours followed until the night of February 5, 1965, when Pi Delta Gamma took its first fraternity pledge class. The initial pledge class consisted of ten men. During the first few months of 1965, Pi Delta Gamma was actively pursuing their main goal of eventual affiliation with a national fraternity. Letters of interest were sent to many fraternities who were not yet established on the Ball State Campus. As a reply, several fraternities sent representatives to meet with the local men.
The different groups each has something to offer, but it was up to the men to pick the group with which they would permanently affiliate. On a cold night of March in 1965, the men packed their entire membership of 34 into a student's room in Palmer Hall. The crowded meeting lasted past 1:00 a.m. But there were no complaints for it was on this night that the men selected Delta Tau Delta in a unanimous decision.
Approximately one month later, on April 5, 1965, the men of Pi Delta Gamma were granted official status as a colony of Delta Tau Delta. At the next business meeting the men celebrated both their new affiliation and a second-place trophy win in their first participation in the "All Greek Variety Show."
The first pledge class was activated in early May 1965, just in time for the fraternity's first closed dance, which was held at the Hotel Severin in Indianapolis. The theme of the dance was "We've Been Delt With." During the summer of 1965, the brothers of this new fraternity once again gathered together. A party was held in August at the home of Lyle Thompson near Sheridan, Indiana. Eager to return to school, the men pledged themselves to devote every effort toward becoming an official chapter of Delta Tau Delta.
In the next school year of 1965-1966, the men of Pi Delta Gamma Colony made building membership their main objective. Prospective members were invited to attend everything from coffee hours and homecoming float work sessions, to the formal smoker and a "funeral party." Within this year, the fraternity took two more strong pledge classes. This school year also saw the fraternity strive to become even more active in many intramural sports and various areas of school government and operation.
Summer of '66 brought the men together for a dance and party at the Indianapolis home of Dave Toth. Enthusiasm was high because the men were sure that the new school year would see Pi Delta Gamma change its name to Delta Tau Delta.
It was late September that Pi Delta Gamma President Jim Nelson learned that November 12, 1966 would be the day that Epsilon Mu chapter of Delta Tau Delta would be established at Ball State University.
Countless meetings were held at the home of Walter Klinge, who was instrumental in bringing the Delt Chapter to this campus. A Muncie banker and alumnus of Beta Zeta chapter, Walter had been appointed as the chapter advisor at the time of installation.
Hundred of details had to be completed. The formal installation was to be held immediately followed by a reception. A banquet and presentation of the Charter were planned to bring the day to a close.
November 12,1966, was a tremendous day in the lives of 36 Ball State men. Delts from all parts of the United States gathered to witness the installation of the 94th chapter of Delta Tau Delta; the first new Indiana chapter since 1907. Honored guest at the installation was Thomas C. Clark, National President and former United States Attorney General and an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Mr. Clark had come to personally present the Charter of Epsilon Mu to the new chapter. Also in attendance were three National Past Presidents of Delta Tau Delta: Arnold Berg, Francis M. Hughes, and Norman Macleod.
Distinguished representatives from Ball State University included President John R. Emens and many other members of the administration and faculty. Members from various campus fraternities and sororities came to congratulate the newest Ball State Greeks.
The formal installation was held in the forum room of the Ball State Student Center. Conducting the ceremonies was a team headed by President Bruce Hazlett of Beta Zeta Chapter at Butler University. Following the installation was a reception in the Gallery and West Lounge at the Arts Building. Here in the Gallery, Delt actives and alumni socialized and were served refreshments. It was at this reception that the first Delt Sweetheart, Terri Brookshire, was presented with a dozen red roses.
At the end of the day, a banquet was held at the Muncie Holiday Inn. Following the dinner, President Emens welcomed Delta Tau Delta to the University. Then, Justice Clark, President of the Fraternity, handed the Epsilon Mu charter to chapter president Jim Nelson.
The traditional closing for Delt functions found all joining in the singing of the "Delta Shelter" after which many stayed for an informal champagne toast to the new Chapter of Epsilon Mu.
Later in the year, the first elected officers of Epsilon Mu were chosen. These were Rick Hawthorne, President; Tom Borshoff, Vice President; Tom Worden, Secretary; and Joe Erne, Treasurer.
Early in the 1967-68 school year, it was announced that an agreement had been reached for the purchase of the Darrell Parson residence. The announcement came from John W. Fisher, President of Ball Corporation and also of Epsilon Mu's House Corporation. Possession was set for Jan 1, 1968, and the house itself was to be occupied by the men no later than January 15th.
The remainder of the school year was spent in building membership and branching out into activities. On May 3, 1967, Epsilon Mu entered its first team in the Lambda Chi Alpha "Bike- A-Thon" In April of '67, Delta Tau Delta won first place in the men's competition of "Spring Sing."
The marriages of several chapter members during the summer of '67 were good reasons for the men of Epsilon Mu to get together. At these reunions, the members agreed that their next goal for the coming year was to purchase a fraternity house.
The house itself was a rambling three-story brick structure and was the only residence on Riverside situated on a full city block of property. The acquisition of the Delt shelter of Epsilon Mu brought the men more than just a place to live.
Here in the mortar and brick was evidence of the brotherhood that began with the close friendship of a few men in an attic room. Here was a material possession, which exemplified the willingness of the men living within to work together for a common goal. And at last here was a monument to the countless future members of Epsilon Mu who will find true brotherhood within its doors.
In the words of founder John C. Johnson, "The past salutes the present, and joins it in the hope for the future." The men of Epsilon Mu are certain they can live up to this statement with a conscientious effort. The brothers further aspire to their motto: "Our past is bright, our future if brilliant."

Knox during the War of 1812
Soldier1812-1 We are trying to create a list of men from Knox who served in the War of 1812. If you know someone who served, please add their name to the list. If you know more about any of them, if would be a fitting tribute to them if you would also create a biography of them. Until then, the only thing we can share with viewers of this page is their name.
We would like to start a biography for each of these people with the basic data about their military service and anything else you care to add. Click on Instructions for Entering Service Personnel for additional help.
Service Personnel
Because the Town of Knox was not formed from the northern part of Berne until 1822, any veterans from the current Knox area would have been listed as living in Berne. The list below is from hand-written notes from the Knox Historical Society. The list is identical to that found in Tenney and Howell, who got their list from Adjutant General report on 1812 Pensions. Thus an error in the pension list would appear on all other lists.
- Bunzey, Henry - listed as Henry Bunzer on the pension list
- Bunzey, William
- Gideon Denison, son of Henry earned the title of Captain
- Crary, Edward Parker
- Gallup, Joseph
- Williams, Benjamin
- Williams, Henry
Note: There is NO record of a Henry Bunzer ever living anywhere, but a Henry Bunzey, the brother of William Bunzey, was living in Knox at the time of the Pension report.
- Denison, John is mentioned as moving to Knox in Landmarks of Albany County, New York

Having poor quality headlights is not an excuse for negligent driving. When a driver creates a preventable accident because of his or her failure to take care to protect others from harm, he or she may be liable for any damages that victims suffer.
In 2016, the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) began evaluating vehicles' headlights for safety and effectiveness. It has found that across vehicle categories, many have headlights that do not meet its "acceptable" rating, and fewer yet meet its "good" rating. It also found that quality headlights are not correlated with cars' prices – many of the vehicles found to have "marginal" or "poor" headlight quality were from luxury brands like BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
When evaluating headlights, brighter is not always better. Headlights that are too bright can blind drivers in oncoming traffic, putting them at risk of making mistakes and causing collisions behind the wheel.
LED headlights are the safest headlights, so consider purchasing a vehicle equipped with these. A good way to learn more about the quality of a particular vehicle's headlights is to refer to the recent Insurance Institute of Highway Safety study comparing multiple vehicles' headlights. It measured high beams and low beams in a series of scenarios, including five different angles to determine the scope of their illumination straight ahead and to the sides. This was done by using a device to measure the beams while driving the vehicles on a track. The team also measured each vehicle's headlight glare.
If you have been injured in a car accident, you have the right to seek compensation for your damages through a personal injury or PIP claim, depending on the extent of your damages.

5 Interesting Facts About Our Body You May Not Know
"A moment's insight is sometimes worth a life's experience." – Oliver Holmes
Good evening to anyone that is reading!
This post is a little different to what I normally would write but sometimes I think it's nice to just read something that's simple, visually pleasing and gives you that "aha moment."
If anyone follows "Holistic Ali" on Instagram you may have seen some of these images before but for those who haven't here is a quick summary of what its all about. Ali does a great job at creating awareness of health issues that can be treated holistically or prevented all together. I genuinely just love the images he shares on Instagram as I tend to always learn something new. These are 5 of my favourites but he has SO many more on a variety of topics for health and wellness.
Did you learn anything new?
Thanks for reading and make sure you share your smile with the world today ☮

I love stumbling across things like this! I brushed my teeth with the opposite hand this morning so I'm sure It won't be long until I'm a genius 😂
Your quote is right about someone's insight is someone's life. I have experiences where people told me what they have learnt from their struggle throughout their life and it all condensed into just one thing that helped solves an issue of my then situation. It is a beautiful thing isn't it? 🙂

The Soccerex Football Finance notes that the Abu Dhabi-owned club is one of the most famous cases of foreign investment changing a club's status
Abu Dhabi-owned Manchester City is the most economically powerful football club in the world, according to data from the Soccerex Football Finance 100.
The study ranks teams around the world based on playing and fixed assets, money in the bank owner's investment potential and debt.
The Soccerex data notes that Manchester City, which the report called "one of the most famous cases of significant foreign investment changing a club's status and potential, spent £215 million ($290 million) on player transfers over the summer, more than any other English club.
"Their owner's high potential investment value is complimented by a strong performance by the club across each of the verticals," the report added.
Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan has owned the club since 2008, when it the Abu Dhabi United Group (ADUG) purchased it from former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra for £210 million ($283 million).
Coming in second place was Arsenal, which has £766 million ($1.03 billion) worth of fixed assets following their move to Emirates Stadium in Islington from Highbury, the largest amount in world football.
Additionally, the club was found to have £300 million ($405 million) in the bank and the lowest net debt of any English team, at £8 million ($10 million). The report notes that the club was the financial capabilities to "invest significantly" in the transfer market.
English teams dominated the ranking's top ten, with Tottenham coming in fifth place, Manchester United in Seventh, and Chelsea in ninth.
Newcastle, whose owner Mike Ashley is currently in discussions regarding a potential takeover by Dubai-based financier Amanda Staveley's PCP Capital Partners, came in 36th place in the rankings.

On Sunday, May 6th, April showers were still taking over the day but the Flaunt It team did not let that prevent them from making St. Stephen's Community House's Youth Arcade Studio filled with May flowers. To bloom. To grow. To nourish. To strengthen. This series focuses on celebrating self-growth and development. It is designed to remind us to prioritize our mental health and well being as we reflect on the pathways we shape towards our aspirations, dreams, and goals. In this series, we asked our guests to reflect on what blossom means to them. With an open mic, flower crown station, flower bouquet station, self-care activities and more, it was a beautiful Self Care Sunday with over 60 guests from across the GTA.
We would like to thank our trustee St. Stephen's Community House for helping to make this event happen. We would also like to thank our funders, The City of Toronto, Adobe and Ryerson University's Faculty of Arts.

Your infant or child's growth statistics are good measures of nutrition, overall health and even obesity. It is important to measure and record your infant or child's height, weight and head circumference (the last being up to about 36 months) on a regular basis, such as every 6 months or annually, but more often if there is an obvious problem. Measuring your infant or child is a simple process but takes some special instruments, especially for infants, and may require the help of a partner.
Method 1 of 5:
Height - Child or Teen
1Remove any shoes and heavy clothing.
2Remove any hair clips and undo any braids that are in your child's hair.
3Stand on a non-carpeted floor.
4Stand against a surface that is flat, such as a wall (do not stand against any wall molding).
5Keep your child's feet together and flat.
6Ensure that your child stands against the wall with legs straight, shoulders level and arms at your child's sides.
7Keep your child's head level by having your child look straight ahead.
8Ensure that your child's head, shoulders, buttocks and heels are touching the wall (some points may not touch at the same time but try to get as many as possible to touch the wall).
9Place a flat item such as a small, flat board firmly on the crown of your child's head and touching the wall, making sure that it is perpendicular to the wall.
10Lower your body so that your eyes are level with the board on your child's head.
11Place a mark on the wall and under the board where it meets the wall.
12Use a metal tape measure to measure the distance from the floor to the mark.
13Record and plot the height measurement to the nearest 1/8 inch (0.3 cm) on a growth chart.Advertisement
Method 2 of 5:
Weight - Child or Teen
1Use a scale that is digital rather than spring loaded.
2Place the digital scale on a floor that is non-carpeted and level.
3Ensure that your child's shoes and heavy clothing are removed.
4Have your child stand on the digital scale placing both feet in the middle of the scale.
5Record and plot the results to the nearest tenths (for example, 70.5 lb. [31.8 kg]) on a growth chart.Advertisement
Method 3 of 5:
Height - Infants
1Use a device to measure your infant's length (height) that has a stationary headboard and adjustable footboard (doctors' offices have these or you can make one on your baby's changing table. Some changing tables have a built-in measuring tape as well.
2Find a partner to help with this measurement.
3Hold the crown of your infant's head against the headboard with your infant on his or her back and looking up.
4Align the pelvis and trunk with your measuring device.
5Straighten your infant's legs.
6Hold your infant's ankles together, toes up.
7Place the footboard against the bottoms of your infant's feet.
8Record the measurement to the nearest 1/8 inch (0.3 cm).
9Repeat this process until you have at least 2 recorded measurements that are within 1/4 inch (0.64 cm) of each other.
10Record the value on a growth chart to plot height for your infant's age.Advertisement
Method 4 of 5:
Weight - Infant
1Use either a beam or digital scale, preferably a scale that has a pan for holding your infant. Do not use a spring-type scale as they wear with age.
2Make sure that the beam scale is calibrated (keep resetting to zero with the weights).
3Remove clothing and the diaper from your infant.
4Place the infant in the weighing pan or on the weighing surface, making sure that he or she is in the center.
5Read the measurement and record it to the nearest 1/2 oz. (14.2 g).
6Repeat the procedures several times.
7Remove any measurement that is clearly wrong.
8Take an average of the remaining weights.
9Record the average on a growth chart so that the weight can be plotted by age and height.Advertisement
Method 5 of 5:
Head Circumference - Infants and Small Children under 3 Years
1Place your infant in the lap of a helper or have your young child stand.
2Position a measuring tape just above your child or infant's eyebrows and ears and around the prominent part of the rear of his or her head.
3Compress the air out of the tape by pulling snugly.
4Record the measurement.
5Repeat the process until you get at least 2 measurements that are nearly the same (within 1/8 inch [0.3 cm]).
6Plot the recorded measurement on a growth chart.Advertisement
Community Q&A
- If using a pad of some sort on the pan of the beam scale, be sure to insert the pad and zero the scale before placing your infant in the pan.
- If your infant moves a lot during the weighing process, you may need to wait until he or she is calm before taking the measurements. Excessive movement can make weight measurements inaccurate.
- If your infant is not still enough for you to get an accurate measurement, record several and note which are closest together the most times. Use your best guess on how close your recorded measurement is and make notes of why you used what you used, how the infant was behaving or other relevant circumstances.
Things You'll Need

The Funk & Wagnalls Dictionary defines a Czar as: "1.) An emperor or king; one of the former emperors of Russia; 2.) An absolute ruler; despot." This has never been a term used in The United States of America, a free country and democracy. It has, up until now, been a title of an official within the Communist-rulers of Russia. So why has there not been questions over the use of that Marxist term in America? Why has no one challenged this?
Not one media outlet has spoken out about this added socialistic term and the citizens themselves are sitting back and letting it happen, seemingly not wanting to be awakened from their dogmatic slumber. I have not heard one citizen even mention this in private conversations. This transformation and takeover of our country is incredible to watch unfold.
That term itself (czar) must be rejected NOW and never used again. By citizens and media using this term matter-of-fact signifies acceptance of this part of the 'change' promised us by Barack Hussein Obama, and helps it all to happen. America must put its foot down once and for all...unless being enslaved is desirable.

90% Carménère and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from Montes' own vineyards in Apalta and Marchigüe, arguably two of the finest sites in the Colchagua Valley.
Grapes were cold soaked at 10ºC for 5 days to extract aroma and colour. Underwent fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks for 12 days. Kept on skins to impart structure and colour. After malolactic fermentation 55% of the final blend was aged in one-third new French oak barrels for 12 months.
Winemaker's Comments
Aromas of ripe blackberries and blueberries followed by notes of black plums, dried figs, milk chocolate, mocha and a touch of black pepper. Nicely structured and balanced on the palate, with well-rounded tannins leading to a long pleasing finish.

Welcome to academic year 2019-2020
Back in Kingston after a year at CFC Toronto, my academic year begins in August with the Academic Bridging program for the NCM Executive Professional Development Program (NEPDP). This is a transition year towards more senior candidates taking predominantly senior courses in preparation to be strategic chiefs working with Generals and Flag Officers. I will be the academic advisor for NEPDP for the year.
In the fall term I teach POE116 International Relations and POE320 Comparative Politics. I expect to run the international Arctic Simulation again in October 2019 with cadets from several Arctic Council nations. As Secretary of the International Society of Military Sciences I am helping to organize the annual conference in Vienna, 18-20 November.
My research agenda continues to focus on comparative and international implications of professional military and security education. This includes the military education working group of ISMS, and the military and police relations working group of ERGOMAS, both of which have collaborative research in progress. I am also engaged with the Ideological Conflict Project, a SSHRC Insight project led by Thomas Homer-Dixon, and I am the section editor for the Miilitary Profession Section of the Springer Handbook of Military Sciences.
Service includes my work with three international organizations: ISMS, IAMA, and ERGOMAS. I am on two advisory boards, and within the Department of Political Science I am responsible for prior learning assessment (PLAR).

Seeing Diversity, Multiplying Possibility: My Journey from Post-feminism to Postdevelopment with J.K. Gibson-Graham
As a graduate student I first came into contact with the work and persons of JK Gibson-Graham. As I was mentored and supervised by Katherine Gibson, the piece, Building Community Economies: Women and the Politics of Place became part of my journey into feminism and feminist postdevelopment research. In this chapter, I highlight three principles I have carried with me from that time until now: starting where you are, seeing diversity, and multiplying possibility.

The strange fruit was a Soursop (Annona muricata)/Graviola.
Soursop is in the same family as the custard-apple.
This tropical fruit has a prickly skin on the outside and its pulp is made up of individual sacs filled with seeds on the inside.
My girlfriend had gifted me with a freshly picked soursop from her tree about two weeks ago but since it was not ripe......
I had to wait until it was ripe to make a Soursop Punch.
I wrapped it carefully in a sheet of newspaper and waited (impatiently).
One morning I knew it was ripe from the heavenly scent that enveloped the kitchen as I walked in. Unwrapping it I saw that the skin had now turned yellow and was ready to be used.
Soursop has a distinctive taste...a mix of tart and sweet...like pineapple and melon or papaya....a candy like taste.
First I peeled all the skin off.
Next I cut the fruit in half and removed the stem (heart) in the middle.
Then it was time to remove the seeds.
Most of the sacs are seedless and the seeds are black and shiny.
The seeds are encased in individual sacs inside the fruit.
Seeds and non usable pieces for the garbage.
Time to strain the delicious juice. A large strainer over a glass bowl was perfect for this task.
Using the back of a large spoon, the juice was pressed/squeezed from the pulp.....
Leaving about a cup and a half of fresh soursop pulp.
At this stage I could have either made ice cream or a smoothie, but I was making Soursop Punch.
I'm not an advocate of cow's milk and most folks use condensed milk and regular milk to make the punch.
You can use any kind of milk, I may even try soya milk next time.
Instead I added a tin of coconut milk, a tablespoon of vanilla essence and a few tablespoons (maybe 4) of sugar.
Blended the ingredients up in the blender till it with nice and creamy.
The reward? A lovely glass of fresh soursop punch.
Tasty! Delicious! Nectar of the Gods!
No I didn't drink it all at one time although I could have easily done so. The remainder was shared with daughter dear and some was bottled and stored in the fridge....which didn't help matters at all since it was still consumed within a few hours.
Also check out my previous post on Soursop Ice Cream here.
The lovely vase above was a Christmas gift from my friend Frank many years ago. He had attended an estate sale and didn't buy anything for himself but he thought I would like the vase and he was right, I love it. Now that the ginger lilies are fully grown and blossoming, I make sure that my table has fresh flowers everyday, and now every time I look at it I will be reminded of my friend Frank forever more.

I also made dinner for Brady last night. I'm trying to do this more, and be a better a wife. :)

I just got the Inviso Torch. I also have the Inferno. I like the Inviso Torch much better and lately I've been using it on everything. I carry around the butane refiller in my pocket. Practically every trick I do I use the Inviso Torch somehow. LOL.

I love the Inviso Torch too. I don't believe the Inferno is available for sale anymore. It was a rip off, I believe.
The Inviso Torch is great. Just a little care and maintenance every so often and it will last for years!

Hey, I have it too and I love it. Unfortunately, I can't use it on stage. There's sort of a pyro ban.
But what do you mean you use it on everything? Do you mean you combine it with other tricks? Or do you burn everything down with it?
If the latter, then I suggest you get some help.
Have fun and be safe.

I have two Phoenix's and an inviso torch, and they are a great item!
Fire from almost anything, at almost any time (safety considered....) makes them a great buy for the performing magician who can use fire.

My Inviso Torch broke (no spark is produced) and is completely useless!
It's a shame, because it's a great gimmick!

Is the flint used up?
When the flint gets real small, after a lot of use, it can actually fly out so the spring is against the wheel, and that won't work.
But by broken, what do you mean? Does the wheel fail to turn, or simply fail to spark? If it turns, does it turn easy or with a little friction?
I once lost the little part that holds the flint and spring in. And the wheel just spun freely, so I knew there was a problem. I just pulled out another Phoenix and did the show, and found the missing part in the bottom of my fire magic supplies case. (I keep all my fire seperate from everything else.)

A great tip seldom spoken!
I keep all my flammables in a tight, well built metal toolbox. It has several notices concerning the contents permanantly applied to the exterior concerning the danger of the contents. If anything ever does accidentally ignite I may lose all my fire and flame effects but at least it won't burn down the house.
Boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Boy: There is no spoon.
Neo: There is no spoon?
Boy: Then you'll see that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

But, yep, it is reasonably vented, but separate enough to keeps other things from bumping into the volatile objects contained within...

If your Inviso Torch is just missing the flint, go to your local grocery store. They should sell Ronson flints at the courtesy counter (or where they keep the cigarettes). They are cheap and come in packs of five, so you have a few good months before you have to buy more.

I don't have an Inviso Torch but I did watch a demo on line. It did look very impressive. My question is on the demo— it was used with both hands put together, is this the only way to use it or is it just being shown how it is most often used? I really don't know what it is so can it be used with one hand against a prop or used with one hand alone?
It seems to fill the hands with gas from what I saw on the demo. If this is true I should be able to place my hand or hands over a fire proof bowl and light what is inside it. Has anyone done this before? Am I on to something here or do I not understand what the Inviso Torch really is? Thanks.

The Invisio Torch is a device that allows you to have a large flame come from your hands. Furthermore the device can quickly be removed from sight once the fire is out, so you can, say, make a large flame, then immediately turn your hands around to show them empty.
It's a pretty cool item, unfortunately it seems I have lost mine. I don't know where I put it! If you want a cool flame from your hands this is the item to get. It has nothing to do with gas or anything. It's a lot like a normal lighter, but modified, and with a much larger flame.

Jack thanks for answering back. Now that I know I won't have to deal with gas lines running to my hands to cause the flame I'm more interested than ever. Can you load it at a moment's notice or do you need to plan ahead and be ready to perform? I guess what I'm saying is that I want to at anytime or place be able to shoot the flame from my hands.

Den, talk to Jim then...
I have three, one original Invision Torch, and two Phoenixs and use them a lot, with big flames, and have never burned one up. I can see that happening if you hold it flaming too long. But I think the greatest effect comes from the surprise flash, and then you are clean before they can deal with the thought of "WOW that was real fire".
But Jim Pace stands behind his products better than anyone else I have known. SO if the device was faulty, it is worth a try.

Well I should hope that he stands behind his product. It seems that it is the Zippo of fire gimmicks. With all the regulations that you have to follow to make things like this legal, you may as well go the extra mile and make it so good that you have a life-time guarantee.

I noticed that the plastic parts of my invisotorch are also melting. I was wondering if shifting up the noose would help... haha... but I had a problem shifting it up too.
So perhaps I did hold the thing too long.
Oh, and I lost quite a bit of hand hair due to wind direction and the flame not extingishing completely.... dangerous stuff...

ATLANTA -- Large cartoon depictions of presidential candidate Donald Trump's face -- drawn with a toothbrush-style mustache similar to Hitler's and centered over a swastika -- were pasted to structures along at least two Atlanta streets, reports CBS affiliate WGCL.
The images were reported in at least two locations where they could be seen by large numbers of drivers. In each case, they are plastered on columns beneath overpasses.
One was removed by police, and an officer at the second location told WGCL it is waiting for an investigator to take fingerprints before he scrapes the poster off.

When You Park in P2
Exiting P2 just got easier.
On the rare instance that P3 would have no available program parking after 4 pm, all house officers should use P2. You will need your spitter ticket and UMID to exit P2. You do not need a coupon/voucher.
House Officers with 24 Hour P3 access who use a swipe card (their badge) should use P2 when parking isn't available in P3. At this time, there is no card reader between 3.0/3.5 of P3. You will need your spitter ticket and UMID to exit P2. No stop is required at the Taubman desk. This will avoid any confusion regarding the coupon/voucher program that is largely administrated through the programs and pre-arranged.
Please note, nothing has changed for those HO's who are assigned to off-site locations and are required to return to the main medical campus between the hours of 9 am and 4 pm.
Your patience is appreciated as we fine tune this process!

The Kurdish Peshmerga have deployed additional reinforcements into the already troop-heavy disputed area between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the rest of Iraq, as Iraqi Army forces also continue to move into the area.
The reinforcement move comes after Friday negotiations bore virtually no hint of progress from either side. KRG officials say the move is necessary to defend ethnic Kurds in the areas outside of the initially defined KRG territory.
Both sides insist that they are responding to aggression from the other side, with the Peshmerga command seems eager to make a statement of Kurdistan's autonomy from the rest of Iraq at a time when Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki continues to centralize power.
Shortly before the latest standoff, Maliki ordered the Peshmerga placed under his direct command. Since Maliki has appointed himself as the Defense Minister, Interior Minister and military chief, he already has direct control of all central government forces, and the Peshmerga, which operates under KRG control, is the largest faction not under his control.

|Giovane Gávio is one of the best Brazilian volleyball players. He started playing in school, and in 1989 entered the national league. In 1992, was elected the most accomplished player in the world, being one of the Olympic champions in Barcelona, and in 1993 was considered the best player in the national league of Brazil.
Giovane played in Italy for some years. In 1997, started a new career in beach volley, but later returned to the fields.
Besides his success in sport, Giovane also turned a personality thanks to his good looks and sex appeal, being acclaimed by his female fans wherever he goes. After he moved to Rio, quickly became used to its lifestyle, and nowadays the beach is one of his favorite places. Of course, going shirtless is a common practice for him now.
2002 has been a great year for this athlete, who increased his popularity even more: he paraded in carnival, wearing a a scanty Indian costume, and later was featured in the site Paparazzo ( visit it through the Links section), dressed as little as possible.
Giovane was born in 1970, and his height is 1.95 m (almost 6 feet).

Despite his long career, Frota became a real national celebrity after his apearance in Casa dos artistas (House of the artists), a TV reality show that became a craze in the end of 2001. He wasn't the winner, but thanks to his natural talent and charisma was one of the most popular competitors. After he left the program, got an invitation from Sílvio Santos (the deviser of Casa dos artistas and one of the most important TV owners and entrepreneurs in Brazil) to perform a good role in the next soap opera of Sílvio's channel (Marisol), together with the winner of the show, Bárbara Paz.

The actor was born in 1964, and nowadays is married to the model and presenter Daniela Freitas.

Taking place in central London on 8 May, our 2019 conference gave an an update on the research integrity landscape, discussing the outcome of the House of Common's Science and Technology Committee's inquiry into research integrity, the revision of the Concordat to Support Research Integrity and other key developments. Keynote speakers discussed research integrity in the UK and international contexts, and also the vital role that leadership and team-building has in ensuring that research is high-quality and of high ethical standards.
Parallel sessions discussed developments in addressing research misconduct, enhancing the reliability and reproducibility of research, improving the reporting of clinical trials, and much more. A panel discussion closed the conference, drawing on a wide range of perspectives and expertise.
The conference also provided delegates the opportunity to discuss issues that matter to them and share their own experiences.
We have received excellent feedback on the event. We look forward to working on the topics and themes identified at the conference.
A selection of materials from the conference is available below. We will be adding further material to this page shortly.

Two-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Butch, was being cared for at the Denton-based rehoming centre having been found wandering the streets of Stockport. But now he has taken the accolade of being the 4,000th dog to be adopted, having stolen the hearts of Emily Gregory and Joseph Towse. Since opening in October 2014, the centre has found homes for dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds, and they are hoping that it won't be long before three-year-old Foxhound Charlie and Dutch Shepherd Mia are the next to say a fond farewell to the team. Rehoming Centre Manager, Dawn Bishop, says: "It is fantastic that we have rehomed so many dogs and we want to say a huge thank you to everyone that supports us, from people who choose to adopt to our volunteers and players of People's Postcode Lottery, who help us make sure we can give our dogs everything they need whilst they are with us. "We wouldn't be able to care for dogs in the way we do without a community of passionate dog lovers." Every day of the year Dogs Trust Manchester cares for around 80 dogs who are waiting for their forever homes. In the four and a half years the rehoming centre has been opened it is estimated that approximately: 400,000kg of dried dog food has been eaten 60,000 tins of dog food has been devoured 15,000 packets of doggie treats have been enjoyed 160,000kg of bedding has been washed Dawn says: "Looking after so many dogs every day of the year and making sure they are happy and healthy is a huge task. We couldn't do it without the support of the public so we want to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who has helped us find homes for our gorgeous dogs. "We also want to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported us in other ways too, donating bedding or towels or items for our fun day and of course our volunteers who work alongside us every day, including Christmas Day, to give our dogs extra walks and cuddles and help us out with everything from the laundry to kennel cleaning." Since 2014, players of People's Postcode Lottery have raised over £11.7million for Dogs Trust, that has ensured dogs receive all the TLC they need whilst they wait to meet their forever families. If you would like to find out more about all the dogs waiting for their forever homes at Dogs Trust Manchester please call 0161 4701 042.

I have performed some experiments with wireless network adapter on Windows XP SP3 having Norton Internet Security installed. I can confirm that after installation of WinpkFilter NDIS IM driver wireless connectivity is lost. But it is restored after reboot. Sometimes network stack can't be rebound dynamically and after installation of NDIS IM driver you may have to reboot. This probably the case your users have met with WinpkFilter (both reported cases had Symantec software installed).

First Birthday Cake
Twins Birthday Cake.
What fun I had making this Rainbow 1st birthday cake for beautiful
twin girls, Andrea and Georgia.
Discussing this cake was a delight as it was to have many little meanings to it along with the theme.
The 2 teddies and the rainbow are the twins and their special bond. The Letters O N E spelling out one and being held up by 3 teddies representing "Mummy Daddy and Big Sister."
The rainbow, butterflies, hearts and flowers all have private special meanings to them just adding to make the cake that extra bit special for a 1st birthday.

RubyMine on Windows 8 Follow
11-12-12 3-31-31 PM.jpg

it looks like you are trying to modify files which are not writable for you.
So, you either need to change files' permissions or run RM as administrator.
Hope this helps, Oleg.
Hi Oleg,
Thanks for the help. I discovered the same thing you are pointing out. However, I am the administrator and have all admiistrator privileges. Still, if I explicitly run RM as administrator it works. But I have to do this each time I open RM.
I discovered another permanent work around. If I right click on the rubymine.exe file and choose Troublshoot compatibility, I can get Windows 8 to fix the problem (likely it makes a registry change). But at the end it reports RubyMine has a compatibility problem. So if there is a JetBrains employee listening you have a RM campatibility issue with Windows 8. I will try and report a bug through the proper channels.
Again, thanks Oleg for your help.
I think (although I may be wrong here) it's all about UAC. If it is enabled and even if you are using account with admin rights, it will still restrict access to files in "Program Files" and similar folders (as by default only installer can write there). If you launch app with explicit admin rights (e.g. Right click | Run as Admin) or your app is UAC compatible (can elevate permissions when required), then it will work fine.
When UAC is disabled it all works without all these extra moves.
As an example you can use Notepad++. If launched normally (even if user has admin rights) it will not be able to create file associations (Registry access though). But when launched As Administrator or with UAC disabled, it will work fine.
That's how it works in Windows 7. Possibly it is the same for Windows 8 (have not tried it yet so do not know for sure).
Hi Andriy,
I thought I had done that by seeting the slider in User Account Control Settings to "Never notify". However, after reading your note I did some further internet searches and discovered that the sure way to do this is with a Registry Edit as follows:
You can even change the following registry key to disable UAC:
Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Key: EbableLUA
Value data: 0
I caution anyone making a registry edit to backup the regisrty first and make sure that the appropriate system recovery settings are made.
I cannot verify that this will solve the original problem because to do so would require backtracking all security changes I have made including the one Windows 8 automatically made via "Troubleshoot compatibility" (I have no idea what that change was), and then reinstalling RubyMine. The only sure way of testing this fix is to re-install Windows 8 from scratch. Not something I am willing to do at this point. So I hope someone who has not yet installed Windows 8 will see this and test it. Or perhaps someone who has installed Windows 8 will try this fix and confirm it works.
In the meantime, I have submitted and bug tracker issue. I hope the people at JetBrains will investigate.
Thank you very much for your help.

This preference allows disabling of extension compatibility checking. This is useful if you are using alpha, beta or nightly (development) builds which Add-on authors do not yet support. However, enabling incompatible extensions may cause crashes or other malfunctions.
Note: Many extensions may have updated versions not on their main addons.mozilla.org page, so at the bottom of such extension's pages use the link for "View All Versions" to see if there is an updated version available, or to be able to install an older or experimental version.
Note: In Mozilla applications based on Gecko 1.9.2 and above (e.g., Firefox 3.6 and SeaMonkey 2.1) this preference is no longer used and a new preference that includes the application version, extensions.checkCompatibility.<version> is used instead (bug 521905).
"<version>" includes alpha and beta milestones but excludes minor version updates. It is the first few characters of the application version matching the following pattern:
A few examples are in order:
Possible values and their effects
Check extension compatibility on install and update. (Default)
Do not check compatibility. Incompatible add-ons will be marked in the Add-ons Manager - its icon will have an exclamation mark over it and when the add-on is selected, the text Not compatible with <application and version> appears below the extension description. In addition, while the preference is set to false there will be an alert bar at the top of the Add-ons Manager saying that add-on compatibility checking is disabled and that you may have incompatible add-ons, with a button to re-enable it.
If disabling extension compatibility checking makes your application crash on startup, you should try starting in Safe Mode and re-enabling compatibility checking.
Mozilla Firefox 2.0 through 3.6
In versions since 2.0 and up through Mozilla Firefox 3.6.x, this preference can be toggled to true by clicking the "Enable" button in the Add-ons Manager next to the "compatibility checking disabled" alert. (There is no way to set it back to false within the UI)
Note: The UI has been removed in Mozilla Firefox builds after 3.6 (since at least Firefox 3.7a5).

You may have read in the past about Forex and Crypto signals but never understood on what any of this means? Signals can include various subjects with Bitcoin and Altcoins that range from services in analysis, Signals and portfolio analysis.
Many of the top websites and signal providers on the web and Telegram will offer you services but give you a cost per service. At Degram not only do we offer single packages that will be cost effective but include all if not more what others may provide. Our aim is for you to succeed and be in a business of profit and not a wallet draining.
The more invested the greater the rewards. Many signal providers will advertise on how you will increase your profits by 100% in a month but these are not accurate figures as the market creates different opportunities on the monthly basis.
A lot of the time signal providers will provide a signal only after they have entered their own position to benefit from the market move of the signal for their sake. At Degram we have a bot on telegram that allows you to enter the position at the same time as us to ensure you profit with us!
At Degram we guarantee quality of the trades that we provide. No matter if it's Cryptocurrency or Forex we make in-depth analysis for every trade. This means that we will only provide the highest quality trades and analysis possible to our abilities.
Unlike other signal providers we rather not provide a signal than just provide it to keep our members entertained if the quality of the trade does not meet our standards. Our traders are strategic specialists, they offer deeper, more personal help to those seeking tactics within the portfolio sphere.

We can see in the evolution of human civilisation and culture that each age has its own prevailing "time spirit" or dharma. Dharma is a difficult concept to translate from the Sanskrit, but it essentially means the inborn "duty" or "right path" for an individual (or a society). This "right path" will change from time to time as humanity moves into a new phase of its development.
Sri Aurobindo outlines the spirit of our times. While he wrote this in the early years of the 20th Century, it is clear that the description remains very much in order still today: "The modern mind is just now the European mind, such as it has become after having abandoned not only the philosophic idealism of the highest Graeco-Roman culture from which it started, but the Christian devotionalism of the Middle Ages; these it has replaced or transmuted into a practical idealism and social, patriotic and philanthropic devotion. It has got rid of God or kept Him only for Sunday use and erected in His place man as its deity and society as its visible idol. At its best it is practical, ethical, social, pragmatic, altruistic, humanitarian."
He continues: "…the modern mind has exiled from its practical motive-power the two essential things, God or the Eternal and spirituality or the God-state, which are the master conceptions of the Gita. It lives in humanity only, and the Gita would have us live in God, though for the world in God; in its life, heart and intellect only, and the Gita would have us live in the spirit; in the mutable Being who is "all creatures", and the Gita would have us live also in the Immutable and the Supreme; in the changing march of Time, and the Gita would have us live in the Eternal."
Arjuna's task, as outlined by the divine Teacher, is to set a high standard by acting according to the best lights of the age he lives in, but to do so from an inner knowledge and conscious understanding rather than a mechanical following of the outer rule. Our task is the same.

Call to Action: Take the pledge
Townspeople can get tired of hearing about the local, state and national opioid epidemic and wondering what is going to be done to remedy it. However, when there is an action plan people get energized. There is a call to action here.
Members of the New Canaan community can be grateful and proud that their town got beyond the talk and took action, led by the father of an overdose fatality victim, the New Canaan Parent Support Group, the New Canaan Community Foundation, the Town of New Canaan, and many other supporters. At last week's Overdose Awareness Day & Vigil the leaders successfully connected people who are struggling with many of the human service resources that are available in the community. They got close to 400 people to listen to the story of addicts in our midst who are in recovery.
Furthermore, attendees at the Vigil recited together a pledge to reach out to a person who is struggling. This call to action may be the greatest take-away of the Vigil.
You are urged to take the same pledge and follow through on the call to action. It follows here:
"I pledge that I will reach out to someone I know who is struggling. I will let the person know I'm thinking about them. I will tell the person I'm available to talk.
"I will take the initiative, and not wait for the person to come to me. I will listen to their story. If I do speak, I will have words of support and hope for the future."

I dont believe the Jesus god was real in a actual sense but I do believe that this god had influencing effect onto humanity's social awareness in supporting appreciative humanistic values.
No Bible = No God?
by menrov 113 Replies latest watchtower bible
I dont believe the Jesus god was real in a actual sense but I do believe that this god had influencing effect onto humanity's social awareness in supporting appreciative humanistic values.
Anders Andersen
My point is: if you're going to argue that eye witness accounts are trustworthy, why reject Mormonism (or any of the many other religious claims for which eye witness accounts exist) and accept only the 'eye witness reports' for the claims about Jesus?
I don't think the Mormons have a resurrection account that in anyway mirrors what happened in Israel with Jesus.
It's not about whose miracle is greater. It's about whether the accounts of such miracles can be trusted.
For Joe Smith's claims 3+8+1 eye witness accounts were written down by themselves.
For claims about Jesus, we could refer to the gospels but these were written decades after Jesus lived, by people who weren't eye witnesses themselves. The first written claim about Jesus being resurrected was written 20! years after the alleged event, by someone who wasn't an eye witness himself. Time and opportunity enough to have the stories turn into mythical narratives, as often happens when beloved leaders die.
Scholars, both conservation and non-believers place the events of the resurrection exactly where they are purported to be.Scholars also know Joe Smith was a real person, and he lived right there were he claims the miracles took place. In many novels and books of fiction (large) part of the story take place in real cities, refer to historical events....but that doesn't mean all of such a story is true, does it?
Lots of other people have suffered died for their belief in something, true. But almost no one suffers & dies for something they KNOW to be a lie. This would have been the case in the 1st century.
Some people perpetuate a lie to gain power or money. Some people believe their own lies. Some believe other people's lies. Some believe because of ignorance. Some believe because they want something very badly.
Many people afflicted by the above would die for their beliefs.
Not too long ago I (and many others here) would have died for my JW beliefs. Now I know them to be false. Still 8 million JW would probably die for their mistaken beliefs. Does that mean the JW claims are correct?
Of course, to each their own...but I'm not really into accepting mythical stories as historical fact. Especially not given the rest of the book in which these stories are collected.
The LDS church has written documents containing eye witness testimony to Joseph Smith's claims. The names of these eye witnesses are even recorded!
Do you believe the LDS Church / Mormon claims that the Book of Mormon was delivered on golden plates by an angel and translated by the power of God?
Notice he didn't answer. It's the typical special pleading you see with xtians. They first assume that the bible is truth, and thus everything in it must be truth as well.
But when it comes to other religious books, all of the sudden they turn to tables, now they first look at the veracity of the content (as they should), to be able claim the book is false.
Finkelstein................just a 'shout out' to you for your your very pithy comments!
Thanks Sparky1
There are a lot of evidences; I think most of them by themselves would come up short. But, put them all together, and it creates quite a portrait.
The one that I personally can't get past is believing that hundreds of people would choose persecution, family rejection and many of them death for something they knew to be a lie. Ordinary, common people just don't up and do that, especially in large numbers. You simply can't compare this to people choosing the same for a belief. Totally different.
The notion that all this was made up over decades is discredited by modern scholarship from the bulk of both liberal non-believer & conservative scholars.... as the previous gary habermas clip shows. That is beyond dispute in my opinion. There he detailed the "minimum facts" argument. This is reasoning that only uses facts that most liberal non-believing scholars agree with. These facts place the witnesses at the right place at the right time.
So, skeptics are stuck with the problem of why many, many people:
1. chose persecution,
2. chose to give up their previous religion that had been inculcated into them from birth
3. chose to be shunned by family
4. chose death over recanting
... All this for something they KNOW to be a LIE.
Comparing this to a belief is apples and oranges. Dying for something you believe to be true vs. dying for something you know to be a lie.... are completely different things.
So far, Anders is the only one to offer a couple of relevant possibilities within the framework of accepted scholarship from liberal and conservative consensus:
1. Some people perpetuate a lie to gain power or money.
The general view of the first Christians were that they "shared all things in common" and they were taught to treat others as more important than themselves, and to be a servant rather than a traditional-style leader. So, I think this possibility falls pretty short.
2. Some people believe their own lies.
Again, the issue is not whether or not people believe their own lies or anything else for that matter. The issue to grapple with here is why large numbers of people were willing to suffer and die for something they KNOW to be a lie.
The one that I personally can't get past is believing that hundreds of people would choose persecution, family rejection and many of them death for something they knew to be a lie.
Except they didn't.
You are creating a false dichotomy between actually seeing the risen christ or deliberately lying about it. Human psychology is more nuanced than that.
They believed Jesus was still with them in some sense. It is a common phenomena when somebody close has died and even more so when all of their hopes had been dashed by Jesus' death.
These men had walked out on their families to follow Jesus. Their emotional investment was as great as any of the millions who have died for religious delusions.
Anders Andersen
As cofty explains, these people didn't necessarily all lie, they may very well have truly believed Jesus rose from the dead.
Strong emotions can make people 'experience' weird things.
Strong beliefs can make people 'experience' weird things as well.
Combine the two, and quite strange stories may result.
Could it be that the women actually saw the gardener, not a ressurected Jesus? Could it be that the gardener decided to play along a little bit, for whatever reason (maybe simply to comfort those women)? Could it be that the other disciples were so much influenced by the words of the women and their own emotions and desires that they too perceived the gardener as being a ressurected Jesus? Could it be that the gardener took off once things went too far, and the his disappearence became a mythical ascension when the stories were written down decades later?
It's all quite plausible. To me more so than someone being raised from the death.
Countless other events might also explain the stories.
People are known to be highly susceptible to suggestion and delusion.
(Some very nice examples can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_hysteria )
Regardless, the stories about all this were written decades after the alleged facts, by people who by then had a belief system completely depending on the story being true. They might have added some elements here and there. Just a tiny claim about how many people witnessed an event. Just a tiny anecdote about Jesus entering a locked room or showing his stigmata. Just a story about angel Moroni and his golden plates. Just a story about seeing a cross and In Hoc Signo Vinces in the sky.
All that is not unheard of. People are known to sincerely misremember events that happened long ago. They are known to embellish stories about their country, their religion, their leader.
What is really the difference between some of the extraordinary claims collected in the Bible, and similar extraordinary claims made by others?
Why believe one, not the others?
Fred Franztone
Perry isn't clever enough to be worth arguing with
