Appendix 1: Wouldn't It Be Equally Plausible For Both Sides To Have Been Ignorantly Inventing Details Against Each Other, Leading Over A Sufficiently Long Period Of Such Invention, Never Corrected On Either Side By Any Actual Facts, To The Shape Of The Data In GosMatt's Guard Story? {inhale}
I realize that this question almost answers itself, when put that way. But bear with me--this is an example of the practical importance of checking the details of a theory, which isn't always easy to do. Besides, it gives me a welcome opportunity to cover an angle I didn't discuss directly in my original composition!
Recently, "Brap Gronk" (possibly not his or her real name {g}) contributed the following comment to Part 2 of the series (because that is where I was listing a number of possibilities for consideration of plausibility):
I have read all nine parts of this series, although perhaps not all in great detail. So there may be an easy argument against the possibility I propose below for the guard adventure in GosMatt.
Possibility #8) Sometime after Jesus' death, before GosMatt was written, Christians told stories about the crucifixion, burial and resurrection of a real person named Jesus. To make the resurrection story seem more plausible, Christians invented some parts of the story about guards guarding the tomb (and perhaps the tomb itself). Everyone knows the only way a guarded body in a tomb with a big stone in front of it turns up missing is through resurrection.
By the time the story about the resurrection reached the non-Christian Jews, their initial brush-off response, since they had no eyewitnesses and everything was hearsay that many months or years after Jesus' death, was that the disciples stole the body while the guards slept. Both sides continued embellishing their counter-arguments and theories over the next several years, such that neither side knew what was fact and what was fiction by the time GosMatt was written.
This is a fine comment, and worthy of some discussion in itself!--especially since I didn't directly discuss this possibility. So I've created an appendix entry to address it.
Readers will notice that my list of possibilities ends up with at least some Jewish opponents to GosMatt's audience, appealing to the public testimony of guards. There are reasons for that, which involve abductively testing how the actual data (the narrative form and details of the Key) might have been arrived at through various hypothetical stages of polemic. At the end of the day, it becomes obvious that GosMatt's author has to be answering a Jewish charge about public testimony of the guards. (We'll get back to why this works best and not anything else, a little later.)
But what if Christians were the ones to invent the guards in the first place? How well do various options from this fit, in arriving at the shape of the actual data?
Some options along this line were already tested for plausibility in the Possibility list of Part 2. But Brap suggests another line of possibility.
The concept is that Christians invented at least some parts of Guard Adventure-A (or some equivalent thereof, if the current Adv-A has since replaced it) which eventually leads to the creation of Guard Adventure-B as a result of the back and forth polemic. (We'll leave aside for our present purposes the question of this theory involving a tomb being accepted as originally historical or invented later.) The Jews, faced with this detail (i.e. Guard Adventure-A, or its equivalent, not Adventure-B), sheerly invent a reply that disciples stole the body from the guards; or else, they pre-emptively meet the expected retort ("You're only saying that!") with the sheerly invented added detail of the guards testifying themselves that the disciples stole the body while they were on guard; or else, they pre-emptively meet the expected retort ("Yeah, right, the guards just let the disciples steal the body!") with the further sheerly invented detail that the guards themselves testify themselves that they all fell asleep (or were otherwise irresponsibly lazy) and that was when the disciples stole the body.
Which is itself a very weak explanation. Yet, according to this theory, it's one that GosMatt's author (or his preceding tradition) somehow thought was so strong that it needed another round of sheer counter-invention to meet it ("No, the Sanhedrin bribed the guards to say that!", thus resulting in the shape of Guard Adventure-B) instead of simply mocking the attempt. ("That's the best explanation you can come up with?? The guards all fell asleep? And then voluntarily testified to this afterward?! And how come none of us have ever heard about that before!?" With maybe some transition to narrative or commentary form, along the same line in GosMatt.)
Notice, we aren't (according to this Possibility) in a position where the Jews are answering with something like "if Jesus (hypothetically or actually) made the claims you're talking about and was convicted by our duly appointed religious leaders and was executed by a death cursed by God, then of course he couldn't have been raised, so the disciples had to have stolen the body"--a retort covered in principle in other Possibilities and which (as noted in those discussions) doesn't at all require that the Jews invent a story of criminally negligent guards (much less ones voluntarily incriminating themselves in public--which, per the invention hypothesis, no one has ever heard about before including during previous stages of this polemic!) No, in this theory our Jewish population (or some of them) in contact with GosMatt's audience are responding to an apologetic tactic invented by that Christian group, namely some sheerly invented guards for the body.
Even so, supposing they retort off the cuff, "No, the disciples stole the body from the guards"--why would they do that? Such an explanation would be weaker than the story point they're trying to combat! (The whole point to having guards, remember, is to prevent tampering with the body.) They would have been better off simply denying there were guards, and charging the Christians with lying about the guards! The Jews end up being the ones who have to keep adding details to try to save their position, but digging themselves farther and farther in the hole each time they add a fictional detail. At the end of the day, there's no reason at all for the Christians to go the final step and invent the Sanhedrin bribing the guards, when they could just mock their Jewish neighbors for coming up with a fatally weak rebuttal--in multiple layers of 'fail' no less!
The theory also sort-of ignores why the Christians would sheerly invent the guards to begin with. The plausible reason is to combat theories that disciples stole the body; theories which the local Jewish population would be more likely to advance than the Christian population anyway. It makes more sense to try supposing that the Jews retorted originally "No the body wasn't resurrected, the disciples stole it", to which the Christians answered, "No, there were guards." But this still leaves the Jews unexplainably making a multiple-fail move by insisting that the disciples still stole the body from the guards rather than the far more reasonable retort "What guards?! We've never heard about guards at the tomb before; you were never talking about that before; you just made that up right now!" The Christians would be on the weaker side of an empasse there; at best they'd have to invent some reason why they hadn't bothered to mention the non-existent guards before (if not also why the Jews had never heard of guards before either). The plausible shape of the result would still not match what we find in the actual (not the hypothetical) data.
There are other problems with this theory, too.
1.) The theory requires that our Jews and Christians are both isolated from authoritative continuity, especially on the Christian side of things. What real (or even plausibly hypothetical) 1st century (or even 2nd century) Mediterranean situation can this correspond to? None that occurs to me! This isn't like, say, Japan during the Tokugawa Shoganate where the rulers went to great lengths to isolate an island (partly to keep things like Christian influence from continuing to come into the area) for several centuries, and brutally hunted and oppressed the Christians, so that the few remaining groups were largely isolated from one another, entirely isolated from the source of traditional authority, and required to innovate the shape of their beliefs in order to survive.
Yet the Jews in this theory have no contact with anyone in Jerusalem who could answer better; no contact with anyone in authority who (post 70 lets say) used to have contact with the Jerusalem situation and who can answer better from experience; and ditto for the Christians. Admittedly, the theory could explain why the guard story seems restricted to this one hind-end of polemical evidence: it developed (rather stupidly, as noted above!) in isolation from the rest of Christian authority as an unauthorized innovation (unauthorized for excellent reasons, as shown above!) But does this fit the actual data?--does GosMatt's reception among Christian groups at large historically match the theory? The short answer is, no the text becomes far too popular; and the details of the text show strong continuity elsewhere with accepted Christian tradition.
2.) Each group doesn't only have to be isolated from being able to appeal back to authority (and/or, for the Christians, isolated from authoritative hampering of unlicensed innovations); they basically have to be isolated from each other during that whole time. The theory has no way to account for why this exchange didn't get started earlier, and rather needs for the exchange to have started as late as possible in order to most plausibly isolate both groups from continuity with their own forebears, so that all they have to go on is hearsay and whatever they can innovate themselves, including for defense.
But these two problems are in tension with each other. Starting the counter-polemic exchange late might distance them from having corrective contact in various ways (so that they are innovating in ignorance)--but it also requires the two parties being introduced to one another proportionately late. GosMatt, though, is arguably the most Jewish and Aramaic of the Gospels, even in Greek; and like all four canonical Gospels the primary evangelization mission represented in GosMatt is to the Jews. The lengthy isolation from a Jewish population simply doesn't fit the shape of the actual data. Starting the counter-polemic early, though, virtually guarantees the two groups will be in continuity with their founding authorities, allowing them access to authoritative defenses (and in the case of Christians providing tradent restrictions on authorized innovations, maybe.)
3.) The scarcity of stolen-body polemic in early surviving evidence of Jewish/Christian interaction, is weird in any event; and tends to work backhand against this theory more than the theory could help explain it. The easiest and simplest countercharge by Jews (or anyone really) in contact with Christian preaching about the missing body, will always be that the disciples stole the body--and the shape of the actually existent data (i.e. the textual characteristics of various documents) argues strongly in favor of Jews being the first opponents to Christians, and Christians coming primarily (or exclusively) from Judaism. This is in fact a problem for conservative apologists such as myself: where the heck is the obvious countercharge in the primary data?--why is it restricted to one poof in one early Gospel? (Leaving aside the question of whether a detail of guards in GosPete offers independent and similarly early testimony that at least there were guards posted.) Nothing in Acts, nothing in the other three Gospels, even in GosMark's probably-late-compilation-epilogue. (Nothing in the epistles either, for that matter.) Someone--or rather lots of someones among early Christian tradition transmitters, clearly thought the story worked just fine without enemy guards to make it look better. Just as obviously, a vanishing body was considered important.
So why doesn't the obvious first countercharge show up more often in the primary texts? In other words, why isn't there more evidence that Christians had to compete against the obvious first defense: the disciples must have stolen the body?
I think there's some hope of resolving this oddity along the line of the argument I raised in the series (a hope that I hope to get to later, God willing and the creek don't rise. {wry g}) I see no hope of resolving this oddity along the line of Brap's Possibility #8; not without positing a cultural disjunction for the development of Christian belief, which not only doesn't fit the larger shape of the actual primary data but which, as demonstrated above, wouldn't plausibly have arrived at the shape of the actual primary data in the Key. (Groundless innovations would have most plausibly been met at an early stage of polemic, by one or another party, with the entirely reasonable countercharge that the innovators were just inventing things for their own convenience--and not doing a great job of inventing things either! There is no good reason to go through the necessary multiple stages of fail in order to arrive at the shape of the Key, by this route. The shape is better explained by appeal, on the side of opposing parties, to some common strong ground of agreement: perceived by both parties as strong enough to bolster the shape to its final form as preserved in the Key.)
In short: a theory about the Key ought to plausibly arrive at the shape of the Key (unless the alternative is impossible). This is not optional--the Key is actual and real data, and so has some kind of real explanation for its existence. The shape of the Key testifies to multiple levels of polemic that were engaged in by opponents who thought those engagements were the best tactical options. A theory that only handwaves off those levels of engagement as just having happened somehow, does not do justice to the data; especially if, when considering what kind of engagements would plausibly occur under the theory, the shape of the data isn't plausibly arrived at after all; and especially if cultural conditions necessary for the theory to have initial plausibility also don't match up well with the actual shape of the data.

|Half Baths
|1,280 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 7 nights
Our beautiful lakefront townhouse is a two storey, 1280 sq. ft. unit that accommodates 8 people in three lower floor bedrooms. It is spacious and bright, and located at Village On The Lake in Osoyoos on Lakeshore Drive. With two balconies overlooking the pool, the unit provides a wonderful view of the lake and the surrounding mountains.
The townhouse is luxuriously equipped with the conveniences found in a first class hotel. It has stainless steal appliances, washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, microwave and marble counter tops.
The living room is equipped with a 42in LCD TV with HD cable, and there is a 32in LCD TV with HD in the master bedroom. The 2nd bedroom has a 20in TV, also with cable.
The front entrance and kitchen is tiled, while the remainder of the living and dining room areas have quality hardwood floors. The bedroom areas are carpeted.
The master bedroom has a queen-sized bed, and en-suite bathroom with shower. There is a spacious balcony off the bedroom. There are 2 other bedrooms; one with a queen bed, and one with double bunk-beds.
There are a total of 3 bathrooms, one with shower/tub, the en-suite with shower, and a 2-piece on the main floor.
The complex has its own swimming pool, fitness center, and hot tub. There is a private 30 foot by 100 foot dock which is perfect for lounging in the sun, swimming and enjoying the lake. The dock has slips available for rent so you can have easy access to your boat. Beside the complex is a public sandy beach.
In the unit, we provide complementary WiFi internet access and a selection of cable TV channels.
This townhouse serves as a great place to enjoy everything the South Okanagan has to offer. It is a great place to vacation with the family in the summer, get a head start at golfing in March, tour the wineries any time of year and take advantage of the great snow at Mt. Baldy and Apex. The townhouse is close to several golf courses, excellent wineries, great hiking and two ski resorts.
Osoyoos is a four-season resort location with warm summers and the warmest lake in Canada. With fruit, wine, beaches, hot summers and short winters, Osoyoos is perfect for snowbirds, families and wine fans alike.
The townhouse is co-owned by 2 brothers, one who lives in Vancouver and one in Calgary, and a close friend from Edmonton. We only use the unit when we can, and rent it out for the rest of the time.
Richard Miller purchased this condo in 2007
The Okanagan is one of the best places in Canada to spend your leisure time, and Osoyoos has both charm and spectacular weather. Unlike other places in the Okanagan, Osoyoos' small town setting is stress-free and pleasant, You can be downtown in 5 minutes, find friendly faces at the video store, enjoy a good selection of quality restaurants, and a multitude of fresh fruit and vegetables stands. The property is close to several good golf courses, and over 25 quality wineries, all within a half-hour drive.
This property provides a great location next to the lake, and close proximity to the amenities. It is also not right in town, so it is quiet, particularly in the off-season.
The views from this townhouse are great - from both balconies - and there is lots of room for friends and family. With all the conveniences of home, and luxury amenities, combined with the lake, pool and hot-tub, we enjoy our property, and so do our guests.
Excellent. Well stocked, air conditioned, prime location and very clean. Definitely would stay here again.
We enjoyed the condo very much. The unit was spacious, very clean, well equipped and very comfortable beds. If ever in that area again, we would definitely rent again if available and would recommend to anyone going to Osoyoos.
Thanks Richard.
In the midst of moving and waiting for our house to be built we opted to stay here with the owners obliging us with a reasonably adjusted price. We have one suggestion...bring your own pillows... the rest of the unit is as described........
Great rental that will fit a variety of needs for different clients. Parking and 3rd floor access are a non-issue with elevator and stairs well located. The unit itself has an excellent galley style kitchen with easy access to the fridge, stove and sink. Laundry and combined day bathroom are just off the kitchen and well placed. Family style counter has seating for four, plus there is a large expandable dining table between the kitchen and living room that will easily seat eight where you can watch the game on TV, or simply enjoy the view out the window. We liked the concept of all bedrooms, main and ensuite master bathrooms located on the next floor down.....if someone wants to retire early they simply can go down to one of three bedrooms to sleep peacefully while everyone else can remain upstairs to enjoy the evening. A/C, furnace and hot water are great...the fireplace kicks out great heat and adds some added ambience to the gathering area.
Lake access is a whole 40 second walk across the street to a huge new dock and open swimming. There is also a water slide park next door to the building. If your into running or walking you can head out the front door of the building and go 2.5 km's south along a great lakeside walk, or you can head north and go another 2.5 km walk and head towards town on another awesome lakeside walkway that takes you to the veterans memorial. Another half kilometre past the memorial has you on the main street for local shopping. A short taxi ride well worth $10 (generous tip) to a number of great pubs....the Sage; a locals haunt with excellent staff and food, the Owl, again awesome staff and food, and several other bars, and then there's great dining (if your into awesome Italian dining GO GO GO to Campo Marina)..... if you want to stay where your at....a clean BBQ and deck with a view...The complex has a great pool and hot tub with an excellent deck...all well maintained.
Owners are attentive and care......LOL....no, we are not related...they just look after their clients well and we really appreciated it.
We had a great stay at the Village. The weather was great, and the location was great. We were off the main highway, so it was quiet with not a lot of fast moving traffic. The pool was enjoyed a great deal by the girls. The condo had sufficient space for the 5 of us, and had everything we needed to enjoy meals in. Thanks to Richard, he responded immediately to any questions we had, and we thank him for that. We really appreciated the BBQ on the balcony, thanks. I would recommend this property.
Our family of 6 had a great time. Clean unit, well looked after. The kids loved the pool, and the two decks looked right down on it and a view of the lake. We are looking forward to next summer when we will return!
We enjoyed a wonderful week at the condo which has all the comforts of home. It is in an awesome location with great views of Osoyoos Lake from the two balconies. The dock by the lake is great for the kids. Many hours were spent jumping into the lake. The pool is great place to spend an afternoon or all day.
My only small complaint is that it is time for new bath towels for the bathrooms and I never did find the tea towels for the kitchen. But really....it is a great place to stay for a week or two!!
TIP to travellers - don't forget to bring your pool/beach towels!! (although Home Hardware in town has some lovely ones for purchase!!).
We cannot wait to return!!!

The Monotone Life of Adam Perkins
Join us, as we watch the life of typical teenager Adam Perkins deal with 'teenage stuff', family, school and love life-ha, as if!
20:34 pm
I don't really know how to start this? Well, basic information first, I guess. My name is Adam Perkins. I'm 16, I was born in May 1993. I'm an only child, mum and dad were lucky having me apparently (don't see why, I'm a fail). I have brown hair and eyes. (Why am I describing myself to a book? Lol)
Mum says I have to write in this about my feelings and my life because I'm in a social skills club at school. And an anger management club. Ok, I hit that guy, but he hit me first! Mum thinks I'm angry because I'm an only child, leading to lack of company as a child, leading to poor social skills, and that's why I'm bullied. I don't know how to tell her it's because I came out to everyone at school.
I go to Thomas Edison Secondary School. It isn't in my village of Stock Worthington but in Abbeyscroft, the local town. That's where all the rich people live. That's where he lives.
Ok, so I like a guy! It's no big deal really. All kids start having those feelings when they're in their teens. I'm only different cause unlike most guys my age, I like a guy instead of a girl. It shouldn't matter. The only thing is, the guy I like is called Nick Gabriel and he's one of the guys who bully me.

LeBron: Rondo has made 'The Board'
|02.26.10 at 2:39 pm ET
Before every game, NBA coaches and their assistants place the names of players to contain on a board as part of the game plan.
LeBron James said there was a time – just two seasons ago when his Cavaliers came to Boston – that it was the big three and that was it.
But it's obvious now that they need to add a fourth name: Rajon Rondo.
He showed why in the first quarter on Thursday night, with 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the floor and six assists as the Celtics raced out to a 31-21 lead. James stopped short of saying Rondo has become the most important Celtic but not by much.
"I don't know if I can say that," James began. "When you scout for Boston, there are certain guys that make that board before the game, these type of guys you have to stop and he's one of those guys.
"First couple of years here in Boston, he wasn't on that board. He was fast point guard, you have to get back but other than that you didn't talk about him, you didn't talk about Rondo."
[Click here to hear LeBron talk about Rondo.]
Rondo earned his first All-Star berth this winter and players like King James have taken note.
"Last year, he made a name for himself and he makes that board when you're talking about, 'This is what we're doing again Paul, this is what we're doing against Ray and this is what we're doing against KG and this is what we're doing against Rondo.' When you make that board, you're definitely a very good player."
As for whether Rondo can get the Celtics back in gear and challenge the 45-14 Cavaliers, that remains to be seen. But James isn't taking the Celtics lightly, even after a 20-point win on Thursday at TD Garden.
"They're a very good team," James said. "No one doubts Boston. No one who ever comes into this building or plays Boston on the road doubts that team. They have too many weapons, they're too experienced. They have a good coach, a good coaching staff. No one ever doubts them and you better play well or they can embarrass you."

Harvesting Tool Allows Pacemakers to be Powered by Heartbeats
Tiffany Kaiser

Sender E-mail
(Source: ecnmag.com)
According to the results, the new harvester generated more than 10 times the power that traditional pacemakers need
could one day draw power from a patient's heartbeat, eliminating the need for several battery replacement surgeries.
A team of researchers from the University of Michigan, headed by M. Amin Karami, PhD, has created a nonlinear harvester for pacemakers that is capable of storing energy from the vibrations of a beating heart.
The nonlinear harvester uses piezoelectricity, which is an electrical charge generated from motion. Vibrations from heartbeats were measured in the chest of patients, and then a "shaker" was used to replicate the vibrations in the laboratory. The shaker was connected to a prototype cardiac energy harvester in order to measure its performance. Performance was based on sets of 100 simulated heartbeats at many different rates.
According to the results, the new harvester generated more than 10 times the power that traditional pacemakers need.
The nonlinear harvester uses magnets to make it "less sensitive" to heart rate changes, making it capable of greater power production. In other words, if a heart beat is slower than another, the harvester can still generate enough power from it to keep running on its own, as opposed to a linear harvester that can be affected by heart rate changes.
The new harvester is also beneficial because it isn't
affected by cell phones or microwaves
"Many of the patients are children who live with pacemakers for many years," said Karami. "You can imagine how many operations they are spared if this new technology is implemented."
Pacemaker batteries
must be changed every five to seven years.

Born Nelson Ahlgren Abraham in Detroit, Michigan, on March 28, 1909, Nelson Algren is usually identified with Chicago, where his family moved in 1913. His mother, Goldie, was an ill-tempered, violent woman, and his uncouth father, Gerson, a mechanic, was an often remote presence. The emotionally insecure Algren preferred to identify with the wandering grandfather he never met, Nels Ahlgren, a Swedish convert to Judaism. A normal middle-class boy in most respects, Algren began frequenting pool halls, speakeasies, and gambling dens as a teenager.
Algren's strongest family bond was with Bernice, the younger of two older sisters. It was she who encouraged his literary interests and insisted he attend college, and her death in 1940 left a space no one ever filled. Socially aloof, Algren discovered his love of books at the University of Illinois, Urbana, and led an ascetic and "spiritual" life of study, with the occasional lapse. In college, he wrote stories which demonstrate his identification with the oppressed—an identification that his experiences on the road would deepen. In 1931, with a degree in journalism, he went in search of a job that was not to be had during the Great Depression. Taking up the hobo's life, he traveled to New Orleans, which, together with Chicago, was one of the two major cities of his fiction. There he was a door-to-door salesman before accompanying two drifters to Texas, where he became involved in an ill-fated scheme to run a gas station and later worked at a carnival.
After further travels, gathering experiences that he would turn into fiction, Algren returned home, joined a writers' group, and started submitting stories using Nelson Algren as his pen name (only changing it legally during World War II). Politically radical, he frequented the John Reed Club, a Communist Party organization, and met writers such as Richard Wright, the future author of Native Son (1940). Over the years, he would have close ties with the Communist Party, but it is not certain that he was ever a member.
After several rejections, he was published by Story and A Year in 1933. When Vanguard Press paid him an advance for a novel, Algren, who always wrote best from immediate experience, went back on the road. In Alpine, Texas, he spent almost a month in jail for stealing a typewriter from the local community college. Though his stories and reporting enhanced his reputation, Algren was devastated when Somebody in Boots (1935) was not a success. Despite favorable reviews, the novel...
(The entire section is 1047 words.)
Termed "bard of the stumblebum" and "poet of the Chicago slums," Algren combined an idiosyncratic style and a keen eye for detail in his compelling depictions of the dispossessed. Convinced that "lost people sometimes develop into greater human beings than those who have never been lost in their whole lives," Algren created characters dignified even in defeat.
Born in Detroit, the descendant of Nels Ahlgren, a Swedish Jew who changed his name to Isaac ben Abraham, Nelson Algren was brought up under the "El" on Chicago's poor West Side and was the "bard of the stumblebum" of the Polish community there in the Depression. He took a degree in journalism at the University of Illinois but found it difficult to get a job after graduating. He drifted to the South and to Texas, where he wrote his first short story, "So Help Me," in an abandoned filling station outside Rio Hondo. This story led to his first novel, Somebody in Boots (1935). Algren's novel The Man with the Golden Arm reached the top of the best-seller list. He also received praise for his 1956...
(The entire section is 227 words.)
Nelson Algren was born Nelson Ahlgren Abraham in Detroit, Michigan, on March 28, 1909, to second-generation Chicagoans; the family moved back to Chicago when Algren was three years old. From 1912 until 1928, Algren absorbed the Chicago environment that was to become the center of his fictional world. After receiving his journalism degree from the University of Illinois in 1931, he began traveling across the Southwest, working at odd jobs (door-to-door coffee salesman in New Orleans, migrant worker, co-operator of a gasoline station in Texas, and carnival worker) and gathering the raw material that he later transformed into his fiction, particularly A Walk on the Wild Side. After serving time for stealing a typewriter (an...

With another season in the books, and happily a good one even if it fell short of Omaha, it's time to review our annual All-Dawgs' Bite Era team. Or actually, repeat it.
Because there will not be any changes to the starting lineup nor rotation. No surprise of course. This team is made of players from 1976 to present who completed careers. So A) there won't be some pretty great names from 1975 and before. That makes listing-life lots easier without comparing the radical changes in games played, competition, or just equipment. Did you know that metal bats became officially-approved for NCAA use in 1975? Quite the coincidence.
And B) no active players are considered. Meaning, a certain 2016 freshman phenom will have to wait a couple more years before qualifying. At Jake Mangum's hitting pace, and with him presumably moving into centerfield now, that position will become a real three-Dog fight in the future.
And really, four decades is sufficient for assemble a heckuva Diamond Dog lineup and rotation mostly familiar to today's audience. Some positions are so automatic as to not need explaining but we do it anyway.
Limiting the rotation to, well, a three-man rotation made for truly tough decisions. Overall though we follow our ultimate baseline-rule for assembling all-star teams and making the close calls. There will be and should be disagreements, and if anyone is truly over-looked the fault is entirely the writer's.
Remember though, the key was not who deserves to be on this squad. The key always is who simply can not be left off it.
FIRST BASE: WILL CLARK 1983-85 .391avg (#1), 61hr (#2), 199rbi (#8), 126 walks (t#7)
Do we really need to support this automatic call? Just re-watch Thunder And Lightning a few more times, and be reminded why this is State's accepted standard-setter. To be sure his numbers are paralleled and sometimes superseded by his club classmate, who would have made an all-time first baseman in his own right. But it was Clark earning the infield position, by mid-freshman season it's always worth remembering. As for the larger image with fans then and now, well, it was just that with out-sized performance in every aspect (he was an high-level defender by the way) of the game, came an out-sized persona. He was either loved or loathed with no middle-ground and that was just fine with the brash Loosianner boy. It is still fascinating how Clark's legend lives beyond Starkville and the SEC. Arriving at Ameritrade in '13 and seeing of all the CWS legends on light-post banners, there was Clark's image. Standing straight at the plate awaiting a pitch, his banner appropriately sited on a street parallel to first base. They never forget him in Omaha, either.
SECOND BASE: BRETT PIRTLE 2013-14 .337avg, 75 runs, .423ob%, .974fldg
This has always been a difficult spot to fill on our D.B. Era Team. There have been some fine and a few excellent candidates, just no one who truly stood out above the rest. One reason is that a couple of Dogs who could have been the all-time best here moved over to the other side of the infield for their final season(s). That makes sense of course as second basemen play second fiddle to shortstops in baseball hierarchy…even though as numbers show in college ball the right-side guys handle the ball more often. Anyway, after the 2014 season we filled the position. Why Pirtle over the others, since he was a two-year guy compared to three- and four-year standouts? This. I'll argue Pirtle's hitting .363 in the dead-bat era and on a 2014 team with absolutely no order-aid and opponents knowing he was their only Dog to go after ranks with the greatest offensive seasons by a State swinger. Defensively he more than held his own with good range and a stronger arm than just about any of the other strong second-sackers to play on Dudy Noble Field. Check his work in the Charlottesville Regional for proof. Still if any want to argue in favor of their own favorite at the position, we likely have them listed later.
SHORTSTOP: ADAM FRAZIER 2011-13 .348avg, 224 hits, 76 walks, 117 runs, .962fldg
For his first two seasons some suggested that Frazier might make the top second baseman ever here. After the third season in the six-hole he was recognized as the best shortstop period. Like all the great shortstops he had his share of errors so the fielding average doesn't jump out. That's obviously because he got to a lot more tough grounders than average fielders who don't get chances to boot balls. Those he reached in time, were usually outs…though let's give a tip of the MS cap to that big first base target Frazier was throwing at and making him look even better! Still it is the hitting most remember and Frazier might just be the most efficient top-of-order Dog ever. His NCAA-leading 107 base hits in '13 will be a tough single-season record to top, along with his 304 at-bats. Like Pirtle, they shudder at his name in Charlottesville nowadays. It is fair to propose that with a better offensive order swinging behind him after reaching base, Frazier almost certainly would own the runs-scored mark. And yeah, he'd still have been a heckuva second sacker. Good thing nobody listened to the suggestion.
THIRD BASE: PETE YOUNG 1987-89 .322avg, 28hr, 169rbi, 185 runs, 56 doubles (#3), 13-6 record, 19 saves, 2.38 ERA 146ks
As another College World Series plays out, we of the correct age and era should sigh over this one. Because if ever, ever there was a Diamond Dog who belonged on the field at Omaha, this is he. In fact a case can be made there's never been a bigger fan-favorite at Dudy Noble Field. About the 'bigger' bit, a less-than-textbook physique (we're being kind) belied some honest athleticism as Young had a first step maybe only Wes Rea has matched. His second step usually found him diving to the dirt. Then there was the big 'ol arm that gunned down guys with seemingly careless ease. This same arm of course compounded his impact as sooner or later he would stroll on over to the pitching mound, warm up just a little bit, then start throwing big-handed fastballs that looked faster than they read on the radar because of the delivery. His out pitch though was what he called 'the hook', a great big curveball that came out of the paw looking like heat. Plus, many a SEC batter knew how Peter and Richie Grayum had spent the evening before game day and wondered if he was pitching to the right guy among the two or three seen at the dish. Oh yeah, and the guy was a hard hitter, swatting not just singles but lots and lots of doubles to again show unexpected speed. And nobody ground more DNF dirt in his shirt when diving for grounders and belly (literally) flopping into a base. Sigh. Omaha never knew what it missed.
CATCHER: ED EASLEY 2005-07 .331avg, 19 homers, 137 rbi, 155 runs, .978fld%
Catcher is another position that had strong candidates for a lot of years of solid credentials, the differences often coming down to intangibles or image. After Easley's three seasons the issue seemed pretty well settled at last. Easy Ed just was a little bit better or smoother going about his job in most every aspect. In others where he was not the outright best of Bulldog backstops he did assemble the better combination of skills all around. A good measure of his impact is seen in the wide, wide variety of pitching arms and attitudes Easley was able to work with and still do the job, which after all is the measure of a catcher right? So is taking and keeping a job. Easley played 182 games and started 179 of 'em. He did have error issues as a sophomore, but as a 2007 junior became just brilliant with the mitt. He had only three errors in 522 chances, a .994 percentage at a pressurized position. Conventional catching wisdom claims offense is a bonus for great backstops, but Easley was excellent at the plate by any standard. As we said, he just did the job in every aspect at an excellent level.
HONORABLE MENTIONS: What were the odds of a program having a pair of first-class catchers with the same last name? C JOHN McDONALD (1977-80) batted .318 for his long career, though the first half of it was spent at third base. He hit cleanup on the '79 CWS club averaging .352. Then came C ROARK McDONALD (1984-86) making it look easy catching Brantley, Morgan, Thigpen, all those guys. C CRAIG TATUM (2003-04) wasn't merely a great big physical backstop blocking pitches and plate. His senior year with 13 homers and 60 RBI might be the best single offensive season ever by a State catcher, and he also had just five errors all year. Know what the strongest single position for four decades has been here? Clearly first base. In fact our second-best first sacker will make the team as a DH. And there are more top-drawer guys here. OK, so maybe 1B BRUCE CASTORIA (1979-82) wasn't the greatest glove in the game. But he's still #3 in homers and his fly balls registered on GTR radar. Most any other program and 1B RICHARD LEE (1995-98) would be an all-timer; he #2 in career hits and doubles both, top-ten in runs and homers and undisputed #1 in RBI thanks to a four-year career. And up until May 1990 the most clutch home run of modern MSU memory was swatted in the 1979 SEC Tourney title game at DNF by 1B RICK DIXON (1979-80). Had MIF JON SHAVE (1987-90) played second base his whole career, or moved to shortstop earlier, he could have been our pick for either with both bat and glove. He is so remembered for that one great big hit in 1990 that many forget 2B/3B BURKE MASTERS (1987-90) is still #5 in career hits and #2 in runs scored. He does hold the record for career games, too. But the record-holder for base hits (335) remains 2B JEFFREY REA (2004-07), the Dog that Pirtle narrowly edges out here…though if you favor J-Rea nobody here will argue. If he'd stayed in one spot the whole time there's no telling where SS BRAD FREEMAN (1995-98) might rank in the pecking order. And we can't publish this without tipping the MS cap to our favorite tag-team. They didn't get the honors or attention but boy were SS FRANK DAVIS (1984-85) and 2B GATOR THIESEN (1984-85) the perfect pairing on the middle-infield and ideal role players in the offense. They also ate a few revised fielding decisions on Monday mornings after series when a certain first base star visited the sports information director, but shhhhh don't tell anyone…

What kind of depression do i have?

In everyday conversations we often hear the word depression, depressed quite often. But this does not actually imply the medical meaning of the word. This might give birth to several questions in your head at the moment. People often feel sad, blue, or 'depressed' from time to time.These feelings are usually short lived, and do not interfere with daily life.Clinical depression on the other hand, is a serious medical condition that affects the mind and body.There are many different types of clinical depression.Events in one's life cause some, and chemical changes in the brain cause others. The various types of depression are Major depressive Dysthymia Bipolar disorder Seasonal affective disorder Post partum depression. Major depressive disorder,manifested by a combination of symptoms that interferes with the ability to work, study, sleep, eat and enjoy once pleasurable activities. If the symptoms last for 2 years or longer, it's called persistent depressive disorder also known as dysthymia.The person who suffers from this disorder must not have gone for more than 2 months without experiencing two or more of its symptoms.These symptoms are sometimes caused due to the direct physiological effects of use or abuse of a substance such as alcohol, drugs or medication or a general medical condition,they must also cause significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, educational, or other important areas of functioning. Another type of depressive illness is bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is characterized by cycling mood changes that is severe highs (mania) and lows (depression), often with periods of normal mood in between.These mood switches are sometimes dramatic and rapid, but most times gradual.There are further four basic types of bipolar disorder. An unusual type of depression is seasonal affective disorder.This is a depression starting in the winter months, usually stemming from low natural sunlight and often lifting in the summer months.Other than these, depression may be associated or rather is a co morbidity of other conditions - For example, psychosis and in postpartum conditions. There are two different types of major depressive disorder with psychotic features. In both, delusions and hallucinations are present, but the affected person may experience major depressive disorder with mood-congruent psychotic features or with mood-incongruent psychotic features.Many new moms experience the "postpartum baby blues" after childbirth, which commonly include mood swings, crying spells, anxiety and difficulty sleeping. Baby blues typically begin within the first two to three days after delivery, and may last for up to two weeks.Postpartum depression isn't a character flaw or a weakness,it's simply a complication of giving birth. If you feel you are depressed or have a suspicion that an individual you know is victim to this condition then a visit to a psychiatrist is strongly advised. To determine the kind of depression an individual has, there are various screening tests which a psychiatrist may subject the person to.

Realm of Dreams & NightmaresMature
Aria's eyes opened, but instead of seeing the forest where she had passed out, she saw a strange land that seemed to change before her eyes, yet remained the same. She saw no sign of her companions, but right now that was the least of her worries. She needed to know where she was.
She began to walk, trekking through the weird landscape that was both strange yet familiar. What was this place? It felt... almost like...
"Well, well, well..." A baritone voice suddenly echoed, but the words didn't seem to be spoken... they felt like they just hung in the air, as if they had always existed. Nonetheless, it put Aria on edge. "'Tis about time you arrived."
Aria turned around and was face to face with a man, or what appeared to be a man, slightly taller than herself, cloaked in darkness. He had snow white hair like her own, and eyes as white as her own, but there was a darkness in them that made her shudder. A white mask with blood red markings hid his face, and around his neck sat a mane of fur that moved like hellfire in the wind. Aria's first impression of him was that he was a demon. She reached and drew her sword from her hilt.
"Oh, please, there's no need for that." The man responded to this action nonchalantly, almost as if the threat of bodily harm didn't concern him in the slightest. "You will find that this course of action is completely pointless."
Aria did not lower her guard, not trusting the man before her. "Who are you?"
"My real name has been lost in the depths of eternity, but... if I were to call myself something... I dub myself 'Xeranad Lekard'... yes... that name would do nicely..." The strange man said, almost rambling to himself as if Aria wasn't there.
"'Xeranad Lekard'? The hell kind of name is that?" Aria asked, raising an eyebrow. "And giving me a name for me to call you does not answer my question. Now, I ask again: Just who are you?"
"Not the most patient of people, are you?" Xeranad answered. "Very well, I guess you can say I'm your spirit guide."
"Now, you are going to ask me where you are. You are in the Realm of Dreams and Nightmares. People come here when they are asleep, and the landscape changes to suit their mental states. Of course, most people aren't aware of this place, save for the mages and sorcerers, who have learned to shape it at their will in order to battle demons and the like within this realm, who constantly prey on humans in an effort to gain a physical form." Xeranad explained. "This place is also where the soul goes when the body is killed, to either enter the gates of Heaven, o wander here for eternity, or worse: eternal damnation in Hell."
"Wait, wait, slow down, I'm confused... I'm dreaming?" Aria questioned.
"Exactly. But unlike most people, who dream of things both broad and absurd, you are being delivered a message." Xeranad answered. "The prophecy has begun, with you as the focal point. You are the White Rose, born from humble origins to rise up and stamp out the oppression of Prince Shadis."
"While I agree to that last part, I don't see myself as some legendary hero. All I want is to get Shadis and Cypher back for what happened to my brother, and to prevent others from having to suffer the same fate as I have." Aria answered.
"How... humble of you." Xeranad responded. "However, the prophecy says that six heroes are needed in order to defeat the impending darkness. And I have the location of the next one."
Aria blinked, then nodded. "Go on."
"On Mount Kaija, where the warrior monks of Nihon reside, you will find a young woman with the word 'demon' burned into her left arm. Her name is Shindou Mikiko, and in terms of physical strength and ferocity, no one surpasses her. You will find her, in a trap. Help her out and she may be indebted to you." Xeranad proclaimed.
"Mayhaps she will join you, mayhaps she will not. Nothing in life is certain, Aria." Xeranad responded. "Now go. Your friends are worried about you."
And suddenly, without warning, the landscape around her became a black abyss, and then it was bright. Aria was blinded for a moment, but then she opened her eyes and looked up. Zoraan was kneeling beside her, and Scathe stared down at her. "Aria! You're awake!" Zoraan exclaimed, giving her a hug. Scathe chuckled beneath his cloak.
"How long was I out?" Aria asked.
"About two hours. Why do you ask?" Scathe responded.
"Nothing... I just has the strangest dream."

Eve Best will return to Shakespeare's Globe this summer to lead a new production of Antony and Cleopatra, opposite Phil Daniels.
Best has long had ties with the Globe, having performed at the outdoor theatre in an ill-fated 2001 production of Macbeth that critics tore to shreds. She has since returned to play Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing and she made her directorial debut at the Globe with Macbeth last year.
The Egyptian queen is one of the trickiest of Shakespeare's female roles and has taken its toll in recent years: Kathryn Hunter left the Royal Shakespeare Company while playing the part and the company's 2013 production, set in Haiti, was derided.
Best will be joined by Phil Daniels, who starred in the Globe's The God of Soho in 2011. Antony and Cleopatra, which opens in May, will be directed by Jonathan Munby.
In other casting news, Sinéad Cusack and Clare Higgins will star in the Old Vic's forthcoming production of Other Desert Cities, as Jon Robin Baitz's drama gets its UK premiere in March. Lindsay Posner's production will return the theatre to the in-the-round formation used for The Norman Conquests six years ago.
Cusack and Higgins will be joined by the acclaimed American actor Martha Plimpton, a long-term member of the Steppenwolf Theatre Group, with a significant track record on Broadway.
Plimpton will play Brooke Wyeth, who returns to her family home in Palm Springs to explain that she plans to publish a memoir about their shared history. Cusack plays her mother, Polly, and Higgins her aunt Silda. The cast also includes Peter Egan and Daniel Lapaine.

New treatment option for keratoconus.
Adelaide Eye & Laser Centre has introduced a new treatment option for keratoconus.
In cases of progressive keratoconus or in those who are no longer able to wear contact lenses comfortably, the most advanced treatment option available today is implantation of intracorneal ring segments. This implant is composed of 1 to 2 semi circular segments made from a biocompatible material known as PMMA. PMMA has a long history of safety and efficacy for intraocular implantation, having been used for over 50 years in the manufacture of intraocular lenses that are implanted during cataract surgery.
The Keraring procedure has the following objects:
Flatten the cornea, reducing its cone-like shape.
Regularise the corneal surface, reducing distortions and improving the quality of vision.
Reduce myopia and astigmatism caused by keratoconus, although there is no guarantee that glasses or contact lenses won't be needed after the procedure.
Slow down progression of keratoconus, stabilising the corneal shape and delaying or avoiding the need for corneal transplantation.
Improve the patient's tolerance and comfort to contact lens wear.

Nandan Sar Lake is one of the biggest lakes in the Rajouri District. This lake is oval shaped and measures over 1 km in length. Nandan Sar Lake is situated at a height of 3500 m above sea level. Upon reaching the site, tourists would discover that the water of this lake is deep blue in colour.
The water of Nandar Sar runs from the Jadi Marg Nullah and flows down into the Kashmir Valley. Travellers planning to visit the Nandar Sar Lake have to first climb up the slope of Akal Darshini and then descend to the Kashmir watershed.

text: Posted September 27, 2006 I generally use 6lb test Berkley Fireline on spinning reels. Problem is after a few fish or so I noticed the line does stretch and it has worn tearings. I have to check it often otherwise the lure will just snap off the line when casting. I expected this with regular mono-filament lines but not fireline. I checked the reels and rods for defects. If it wasn't for line strength i'd switch back. I've been hearing good things about the Gamma colpolymer lines and might try that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Camille: Pretzels
I could tell Nix was looking right through my lies, but what could I do?
The last thing I needed to do was get myself shocked to death in front of her, honestly. I had only known her for maybe a month and she already knew me quite well. Maybe being in life and death situations was a good bonding exercise.
"You're distracted, aren't you?"
Just then I noticed that I had frozen midway a stretch and stood abruptly, avoiding Eli's eyes.
"Yeah. I'm just kind of...um..."
I trailed off, met his gaze, and blurted out my thoughts unintentionally.
Eli didn't react the way I expected him to. Instead of poking fun at me he took my hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
"You've been through a lot Camille. Honestly, you're the closest to a fearless person I've ever seen. You're a survivor."
My lips quirked into an amused smile.
"Even more fearless than the human cannonball?"
His eyes narrowed in mock annoyance and he nodded.
"Obviously. That guy's been playing tough as long as I've known him, and I could tell from the start he was just plain insecure. He can take punches and broken bones but he can't take the idea of being rejected. Built an emotional barrier around himself by pretending that nothing matters."
"Are we talking about the same guy?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
Eli was much more observant than I gave him credit. His theories were much more elaborate than I would have thought.
"Definitely." He paused, scratching his head with his free hand, "And Cam, I was wondering..."
"Yeah?" I asked absentmindedly, still pondering his impressions of Lucas.
"Do I strike you as the kind of guy that...bats for the other team?"
Where did that come from?
He smacked his face with his hand, not bothering to stop hiding from the world behind it.
"You hesitated, Camille."
"No I didn't."
"You did too."
"Did not."
"Did too."
"Did not, not, not."
"Did too, too, too."
"You sound like a train." I stated simply, sending us both into a fit of laughter.
After a few minutes of cracking up Eli looked at me seriously and I felt oddly self-conscious in the revealing red satin I was wearing for the first time and the heavy gothic makeup on my face.
The audience was so far away that anything I wore had to be really dramatic for them to notice. Looked okay from a distance but close up it was crazy.
He fixed the red feathers that had been tucked into my updo and gave me a smile, the kind I knew firsthand had sent many a girl swooning.
I ignored the pulse quickening in my ears and shot him back what I at least thought was a dazzling grin.
"You look great Camille." he said, making my eyes widen to the size of plates.
"What, because I'm wearing next to nothing?" I started, preparing myself to go on a rant about the objectification women always had to go through.
"Because you're smiling."
I shot him a grossed out face in response to the mushiness and jerked my head toward the flap in the tent that led onstage.
"We better get climbing those ladders before the contortionists turn into pretzels."
"Oh, yeah...good call."
We started walking toward the darkness, my hands pricking in anticipation of the adrenaline that came with the trapeze.
"Wait, Camille!"
I turned only to see Stinger a couple yards off, waving to get my attention.
"Come on, Eli." I muttered, and quickly dragged him into the booming arena.
My hands quickly found the ladder beside the sawdust circle and I practically flew up, not bothering to look back. I didn't want Wiseacre sending his dummy after me again. If he wanted to kill me, he'd have to do it in person.
When I took him down, I'd do it in person.

We talked about confessions in professions - Nurses
I have a friend that's a nurse and she said when her and her co workers show up to work hung over they give each other an IV to re-hydrate
I'm a nurse and work in a clinic and we have to wash the urine hats for future use by other patients.
some of those nurses be skanky, hooking up with married doctors, hooking up with other nurses. Huge hookup fest.
I work on labor and delivery and there is a nurse I work with who is constantly taking naps on the job
A lot of hooking up going on my wife works in labor and delivery a few nurses are hooking up with the OB doctors and the radiology techs with the radiologists and a good majority of them are all married
every ER has a big group of "frequent flyers." These are drug seekers who use their Medicaid to be "hurt" sometimes 10x/ month or more to get their fix
one of my sisters is a nurse, there is one male nurse who would steal the meds but pulled the race thing and is still working
Night shift guy banging several of the night shift nurses who were married. Later got arrested for drugs and got fired.
If you have a good relationship with a dr, he will give you a prescription for what you need saving you a trip to the dr. Not narcotics!
we had a nurse recently fired for pocketing pain meds that she was supposed to be giving to her pts. The meds we get are sent up in those vacuum tubes
