The countdown of the best fighters to ever compete on The Ultimate Fighter reality series continues today with fighters 17 through nine. But before we move on, let's look at the Top 20 from 2009.
The 2009 TUF 20 Countdown
20 – Kendall Grove
19 – Patrick Cote
18 – Joe Lauzon
17 – Chris Leben
16 – Tim Credeur
15 - Efrain Escudero
14 - Nate Diaz
13 - Nate Quarry
12 - Marcus Davis
11 - Josh Koscheck
10 – Joe Stevenson
9 – Mike Swick
8 – Michael Bisping
6 – Matt Serra
5 – Gray Maynard
4 – Kenny Florian
3 – Diego Sanchez
2 – Forrest Griffin
1 – Rashad Evans
Will the rest of the list stay the same? Let's find out.
17 – Melvin Guillard
Post TUF record: 9-4
Season two's Melvin Guillard was always talented. The question was, could he keep his game together when dealing with a myriad of out of the ring issues and tragedies. Well, once he hooked up with the Greg Jackson team in Albuquerque, a new version of "The Young Assassin" emerged, and he's been unstoppable, winning four in a row and seven of his last eight. Now Guillard is a major player in the lightweight division, and these days, that's saying a helluva lot.
DEFINING FIGHT – TKO1 Evan Dunham
TUF TALK –"I've been through so many ups and downs in my career, and in my personal life, and one thing I always remember is that (UFC President) Dana (White) has always been good to me and he's always been honest with me. And Dana sat me down one time a while back and he said 'kid, you have all the talent in the world, and we like you. Don't throw it away.' And for my boss to come and tell me that they really care for me, that's an honorable thing for me, and if my boss believes in me, why shouldn't I believe in myself? I'm my own worst enemy. If I mess myself out of this, it's because I did something. But I'm just so happy that I got to see what I was doing wrong."
16 – Joe Stevenson
Post TUF record: 8-7
Joe Stevenson, a pro since the age of 16, was about to walk away from the game when he got the call to compete on season two of The Ultimate Fighter. Stevenson went on to defeat Jason Von Flue and Marcus Davis on the show before winning that season's welterweight title in a three round war with Luke Cummo. Following his stint on TUF, Stevenson was upset by Josh Neer, a defeat which prompted a drop to 155 pounds. At lightweight, 'Joe Daddy' found his home, winning four in a row before getting submitted by BJ Penn in a 2008 challenge for the vacant 155-pound crown. Stevenson has hit a rough patch after that, losing five of his last eight, but given his history, it's not time to count him out yet.
DEFINING FIGHT – Wsub1 Melvin Guillard
TUF TALK – "I probably wouldn't have continued if it weren't for the show. The show is such a springboard for the fight game, and for the athlete himself, that it was an opportunity I couldn't pass up. There are things in your life you just don't say no to."
15 – Mike Swick
Post TUF record: 9-3
A rising star who had won five of six fights before appearing on season one of TUF, Mike Swick solidified his place as one of the game's top prospects during the show, losing a tough bout to Stephan Bonnar, and then tore through his opposition in the middleweight division, winning four straight in the first round and then decisioning former title challenger David Loiseau. But after losing a three rounder to Yushin Okami, Swick resurfaced in the welterweight division. He looked to be settling in with decision wins over Josh Burkman and Marcus Davis, but it was in his last two bouts that he finally looked to be acclimated to 170 as he stopped Jonathan Goulet and Ben Saunders. In his last two bouts though, Swick has struggled in losses to Dan Hardy and Paulo Thiago, and after taking some time off to deal an esophageal condition that has been plaguing him over the last few years, he hopes to return to action soon.
DEFINING FIGHT – TKO2 Ben Saunders
TUF TALK - "This is my job. I'm very passionate about it and I want to move up and be the best in the world. I've given up a huge portion of my life for this, and I didn't do it for nothing. I'm taking it to the top, one way or another."
14 – Matt Serra
Post TUF record: 3-3
How does Matt Serra, a guy who has a .500 record since winning The Ultimate Fighter get to number six on this list? Well, first, one of those three wins saw him take the UFC welterweight crown with a knockout of Georges St-Pierre, a man many believe will one day be seen as the greatest welterweight of all-time, and two, one of the losses (a close three round decision) came to the man who currently holds the title of greatest welterweight ever – Matt Hughes. Add in Serra's TUF4 finale win over Chris Lytle (a loss Lytle avenged in 2010), his wins on the show over Shonie Carter and Pete Spratt, his UFC victories over Frank Trigg, Yves Edwards and Jeff Curran, and his memorable battles with Carter, BJ Penn, Din Thomas, and Karo Parisyan, and you've got a body of work that certainly warrants his place among the best fighters ever to appear on The Ultimate Fighter.
DEFINING FIGHT – TKO1 Georges St-Pierre
TUF TALK – "I was actually in Manhattan the other day and I got stopped like six times by people wishing me good luck and stuff like that. Then I was in 7-11 and this guy stops me and goes, 'man, you look just like Matt Serra.' It's kinda surreal. But listen, that could be gone tomorrow, so I keep everything grounded. I'm not gonna let anything get to my head. I went in there thinking that if I put on a good performance and get to show some skill, it can really help out my schools. Of course I wanted to win the whole thing, but I knew there would be a bunch of tough guys in there and I didn't want to get ahead of myself. I just said, 'man, this could really do wonders for my school.' This is how I make my living, teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and that's what I'm sticking to. My school enrollments picked up a lot, it's been a blessing, and I'm just keeping grounded with that. I'm not going Hollywood."
13 – Krzysztof Soszynski
Post TUF record: 5-2
If you said Krzysztof Soszynski's career before The Ultimate Fighter 8 resembled that of a journeyman, he would probably agree with you. But that's the life you lead when you're learning on the job and running towards killer competition on a regular basis. What this education did for Soszynski was make him a dangerous fighter when it was time to step on the world stage, and since TUF, he has proven himself to be in his fighting prime, as he's won five of seven UFC bouts, with the only losses coming to Brandon Vera and Stephan Bonnar (in their rematch). In his most recent bout, at UFC 122, "The Polish Experiment" defeated Goran Reljic to keep his unlikely string of excellence going.
DEFINING FIGHT – TKO3 Stephan Bonnar
TUF TALK – "People look at my record and they think 'oh, he's just a mediocre fighter and got into the show through The Ultimate Fighter. But to me, I work my butt off every day in the gym, I give everything I have to this sport and even though I have nine losses on my record, most of them were early on in my career when I really didn't know any better and didn't train with anybody who was top level and who could teach me the right way. It's been a learning experience for the last six years, I finally made it, and I'm gonna stick with it and keep training my butt off."
12 – Matt Wiman
Post TUF record: 7-2
With an exciting fight style, seven UFC wins, and an engaging personality, you have to wonder why Matt Wiman isn't a bona fide star yet. But with his most recent win, a dominant three round win over TUF5 castmate Cole Miller, Wiman may have begun that move into everyone's consciousness. And if he hasn't, you can be sure that a win over Dennis Siver at UFC 132 in July will certainly do the trick.
DEFINING FIGHT – W3 Cole Miller
TUF TALK – "I don't feel comfortable backing up and running around. I don't feel comfortable if I'm not working hard for something, and if I'm playing it safe, I feel like the other guy is plotting and planning, so I want to put him on the defensive and I want to push the pace and bring the fight to him. I've tried fighting other ways and tried to be overly technical, and it just doesn't work for me. I obviously practice technique and I have good technique, but that isn't the most significant thing to me – I like going hard and pushing the pace and taking care of business, not in a reckless way, but in a smart way."
11 – Chris Leben
Post TUF record: 11-6
Whether you loved him or hated him, Chris Leben always provoked strong feelings from MMA fans while being the poster boy for bad behavior on the first season of TUF. His post-TUF career has also matched his persona, thanks to an up and down journey that has always been compelling, regardless of the final result. And though Leben's only .500 in his last six, you can't forget the 5-0 run that began his UFC career, and the back-to-back 2010 wins over Aaron Simpson and Yoshihiro Akiyama that came only two weeks apart, all moments that will forever keep "The Crippler" on fight fans' minds.
DEFINING FIGHT - Wsub3 Yoshihiro Akiyama
TUF TALK - "I'm one of those guys that always thought they were gonna be famous. I thought I was somebody important before I was somebody important, I guess. In my mind, people should have always been pointing to me and saying, 'hey, there goes Chris Leben.'"
10 - Nate Diaz
Post TUF record: 8-4
With the attitude of a true fighter and good bloodlines (brother Nick is a UFC vet), Nate Diaz was going to make it to the UFC with or without The Ultimate Fighter. But the reality series jump-started the Stockton, California native's career, and he defeated Rob Emerson, Corey Hill, Gray Maynard, and Manny Gamburyan to win the season five title. He's continued his run of success with eight Octagon victories, including impressive finishes of Rory Markham and Marcus Davis in his new home at 170 pounds.
DEFINING FIGHT – Wsub2 Kurt Pellegrino – UFC Fight Night – 4/2/08
TUF TALK - "I talked to my brother and my manager, Cesar, and they were telling me that it would probably be the best thing for me. I was definitely not too excited about going. I wanted to, but at the same time I didn't. I didn't feel like I was too good on camera, and I'm not great at interviews, but I'm glad I did it the way it turned out. I thought I was gonna be one of the least experienced guys in the house fightwise, to be honest with you. "Once I was there, I realized there were people there with less fights than me, but there wasn't any pressure. I thought I had a good chance, that's for sure."
9 – Matt Hamill
Post TUF record: 9-2
The raw talent of Matt Hamill was evident on season three of The Ultimate Fighter, but it wasn't until he bounced back from a TKO loss to Rich Franklin two years after his Octagon debut that he began fulfilling his promise. Since the Franklin fight, Hamill has won five in a row, with only his DQ victory over Jon Jones being a less than stellar performance. And when Mark Munoz, Tito Ortiz, and Keith Jardine are the kinds of competitors you're beating, you're a legit contender. At UFC 130, Hamill will take his next step towards a title shot when he faces Rampage Jackson.
DEFINING FIGHT – W3 Tito Ortiz
TUF TALK –"In wrestling, success came easy. It came so naturally, and the mat was my home. Joining this sport has been a challenge. I learn new things every day and others can knock me down, which they never could in wrestling. But I'm getting better and I'm still striving to be at the top in MMA also."

The Healing of a Paralytic. 1* a He entered a boat, made the crossing, and came into his own town. 2And there people brought to him a paralytic lying on a stretcher. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Courage, child, your sins are forgiven."b 3At that, some of the scribes* said to themselves, "This man is blaspheming." 4Jesus knew what they were thinking, and said, "Why do you harbor evil thoughts? 5Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise and walk'? 6* But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"—he then said to the paralytic, "Rise, pick up your stretcher, and go home."c 7He rose and went home. 8* When the crowds saw this they were struck with awe and glorified God who had given such authority to human beings.
The Call of Matthew.* 9As Jesus passed on from there,d he saw a man named Matthew* sitting at the customs post. He said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him. 10While he was at table in his house,* many tax collectors and sinners came and sat with Jesus and his disciples.e 11The Pharisees saw this and said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher* eat with tax collectors and sinners?" 12He heard this and said, "Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do.* 13Go and learn the meaning of the words,f 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.'* I did not come to call the righteous but sinners."
The Question About Fasting. 14g Then the disciples of John approached him and said, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast [much], but your disciples do not fast?" 15Jesus answered them, "Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.* 16No one patches an old cloak with a piece of unshrunken cloth,* for its fullness pulls away from the cloak and the tear gets worse. 17People do not put new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise the skins burst, the wine spills out, and the skins are ruined. Rather, they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved."
The Official's Daughter and the Woman with a Hemorrhage. 18* While he was saying these things to them,h an official* came forward, knelt down before him, and said, "My daughter has just died. But come, lay your hand on her, and she will live." 19Jesus rose and followed him, and so did his disciples. 20A woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel* on his cloak. 21She said to herself, "If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured."i 22Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, "Courage, daughter! Your faith has saved you." And from that hour the woman was cured.
23When Jesus arrived at the official's house and saw the flute players and the crowd who were making a commotion, 24he said, "Go away! The girl is not dead but sleeping."* And they ridiculed him. 25When the crowd was put out, he came and took her by the hand, and the little girl arose. 26And news of this spread throughout all that land.
The Healing of Two Blind Men.* 27j And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed [him], crying out, "Son of David,* have pity on us!"k 28When he entered the house, the blind men approached him and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I can do this?" "Yes, Lord," they said to him. 29Then he touched their eyes and said, "Let it be done for you according to your faith." 30And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, "See that no one knows about this." 31But they went out and spread word of him through all that land.
The Healing of a Mute Person. 32l As they were going out,* a demoniac who could not speak was brought to him, 33and when the demon was driven out the mute person spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel."m 34* But the Pharisees said,n "He drives out demons by the prince of demons."
The Compassion of Jesus. 35* o Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. 36p At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned,* like sheep without a shepherd. 37* q Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; 38so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest."
* [9:1] His own town: Capernaum; see Mt 4:13.
* [9:3] Scribes: see note on Mk 2:6. Matthew omits the reason given in the Marcan story for the charge of blasphemy: "Who but God alone can forgive sins?" (Mk 2:7).
* [9:6] It is not clear whether But that you may know…to forgive sins is intended to be a continuation of the words of Jesus or a parenthetical comment of the evangelist to those who would hear or read this gospel. In any case, Matthew here follows the Marcan text.
* [9:8] Who had given such authority to human beings: a significant difference from Mk 2:12 ("They…glorified God, saying, 'We have never seen anything like this'"). Matthew's extension to human beings of the authority to forgive sins points to the belief that such authority was being claimed by Matthew's church.
* [9:9–17] In this section the order is the same as that of Mk 2:13–22.
* [9:9] A man named Matthew: Mark names this tax collector Levi (Mk 2:14). No such name appears in the four lists of the twelve who were the closest companions of Jesus (Mt 10:2–4; Mk 3:16–19; Lk 6:14–16; Acts 1:13 [eleven, because of the defection of Judas Iscariot]), whereas all four list a Matthew, designated in Mt 10:3 as "the tax collector." The evangelist may have changed the "Levi" of his source to Matthew so that this man, whose call is given special notice, like that of the first four disciples (Mt 4:18–22), might be included among the twelve. Another reason for the change may be that the disciple Matthew was the source of traditions peculiar to the church for which the evangelist was writing.
* [9:10] His house: it is not clear whether his refers to Jesus or Matthew. Tax collectors: see note on Mt 5:46. Table association with such persons would cause ritual impurity.
* [9:11] Teacher: see note on Mt 8:19.
* [9:13] Go and learn…not sacrifice: Matthew adds the prophetic statement of Hos 6:6 to the Marcan account (see also Mt 12:7). If mercy is superior to the temple sacrifices, how much more to the laws of ritual impurity.
* [9:15] Fasting is a sign of mourning and would be as inappropriate at this time of joy, when Jesus is proclaiming the kingdom, as it would be at a marriage feast. Yet the saying looks forward to the time when Jesus will no longer be with the disciples visibly, the time of Matthew's church. Then they will fast: see Didache 8:1.
* [9:16–17] Each of these parables speaks of the unsuitability of attempting to combine the old and the new. Jesus' teaching is not a patching up of Judaism, nor can the gospel be contained within the limits of Mosaic law.
* [9:18–34] In this third group of miracles, the first (Mt 9:18–26) is clearly dependent on Mark (Mk 5:21–43). Though it tells of two miracles, the cure of the woman had already been included within the story of the raising of the official's daughter, so that the two were probably regarded as a single unit. The other miracles seem to have been derived from Mark and Q, respectively, though there Matthew's own editing is much more evident.
* [9:18] Official: literally, "ruler." Mark calls him "one of the synagogue officials" (Mk 5:22). My daughter has just died: Matthew heightens the Marcan "my daughter is at the point of death" (Mk 5:23).
* [9:20] Tassel: possibly "fringe." The Mosaic law prescribed that tassels be worn on the corners of one's garment as a reminder to keep the commandments (see Nm 15:37–39; Dt 22:12).
* [9:24] Sleeping: sleep is a biblical metaphor for death (see Ps 87:6 LXX; Dn 12:2; 1 Thes 5:10). Jesus' statement is not a denial of the child's real death, but an assurance that she will be roused from her sleep of death.
* [9:27–31] This story was probably composed by Matthew out of Mark's story of the healing of a blind man named Bartimaeus (Mk 10:46–52). Mark places the event late in Jesus' ministry, just before his entrance into Jerusalem, and Matthew has followed his Marcan source at that point in his gospel also (see Mt 20:29–34). In each of the Matthean stories the single blind man of Mark becomes two. The reason why Matthew would have given a double version of the Marcan story and placed the earlier one here may be that he wished to add a story of Jesus' curing the blind at this point in order to prepare for Jesus' answer to the emissaries of the Baptist (Mt 11:4–6) in which Jesus, recounting his works, begins with his giving sight to the blind.
* [9:27] Son of David: this messianic title is connected once with the healing power of Jesus in Mark (Mk 10:47–48) and Luke (Lk 18:38–39) but more frequently in Matthew (see also Mt 12:23; 15:22; 20:30–31).
* [9:32–34] The source of this story seems to be Q (see Lk 11:14–15). As in the preceding healing of the blind, Matthew has two versions of this healing, the later in Mt 12:22–24 and the earlier here.
* [9:34] This spiteful accusation foreshadows the growing opposition to Jesus in Mt 11 and 12.
* [9:35] See notes on Mt 4:23–25; Mt 8:1–9:38.
* [9:36] See Mk 6:34; Nm 27:17; 1 Kgs 22:17.
* [9:37–38] This Q saying (see Lk 10:2) is only imperfectly related to this context. It presupposes that only God (the master of the harvest) can take the initiative in sending out preachers of the gospel, whereas in Matthew's setting it leads into Mt 10 where Jesus does so.
a. [9:1–8] Mk 2:3–12; Lk 5:18–26.
d. [9:9–13] Mk 2:14–17; Lk 5:27–32.
g. [9:14–17] Mk 2:18–22; Lk 5:33–39.
h. [9:18–26] Mk 5:22–43; Lk 8:41–56.
l. [9:32–34] 12:22–24; Lk 11:14–15.
p. [9:36] Nm 27:17; 1 Kgs 22:17; Jer 50:6; Ez 34:5; Mk 6:34.

Aleinu L'Shabei'ach - 5 Volume - Full set
Few contemporary books have had the impact that Aleinu L'Shabei'ach has had on the Torah world. Tens of thousands of copies have been read and re-read by a vast and varied group: Torah scholars and laymen, students and teachers, men and women. Based on the private writings, shiurim, and conversations with Rav Yitzchok Zilberstein, a son-in-law of Rav Elyashiv shlita, and a noted rav and posek in his own right, Aleinu L'Shabei'ach is a remarkable compendium of Torah wisdom, stories of great men, anecdotes, mussar, and insight into our daily lives and challenges.
Aleinu L'Shabei'ach includes a stunning range of stories, based on pesukim from each parashah. From the study halls of Europe to a rebbetzin's kitchen; from a road- rage attack in Bnei Brak to the Chasam Sofer's visit to the Queen of Austria; here are stories that both pique the imagination and bring us new understanding of the messages that the Torah has come to teach.
But Aleinu L'Shabei'ach is far more than a storybook. Its explanations of the verses are profound and yet readable, shedding new light on the meaning of each word of the Torah. Every story, every moral teaching, is infused with emunah and bitachon.
Every word of Aleinu L'Shabei'ach -- challenges us to become better, greater, deeper people, more in touch with Hashem's kindness to us, and more aware of His presence in our lives

Authentic Angel Sighting - or Fail?
43 comments:
The part about falling and praying gives it all away.
We don't remember events. We remember our perceptions, moods and thoughts during events.
I've returned to childhood places, such as a field my siblings and I played in, that seemed huge and magical, only to find that it just looks like a small typical field now. It didn't change. My perceptions of it did.
If that event was so strongly colored the way he/she describes, of course he/she is going to remember it as a religious thing.Teenagers in Arizona staring at the setting sun see a strange apparition. Hmmm...peyote much? Even if that isn't the case, I agree with hour assessment, Tracie. The fact tha one of the three parties seems to have totally discounted such a "spiritual" event (at the time, at least), should give on pause when remembering or interpreting this event. It's obvious they all saw something, but it is equally as evident that at least one member of the group failed to find anything significant about it.
ReplyDeleteMy only quibble here is that glories like the ones in the photos Tracie provided are seen when one looks away from the sun, not toward it. So that doesn't seem like the correct explanation.
Perhaps I misread the description. Or perhaps the correspondent omitted a part about someone saying, "Hey, guys! Look behind us!". Or maybe it was some other phenomenon (or even an angel). I'm not an astronomer or meteorologist. I don't know what the atmosphere can do.I have a memory from when i was about 8-10. My mother and i were hiking in the foothills near where we lived. We emerged from a group of trees, and i vividly remember looking up and seeing a large aircraft flying overhead. In my memory, it was about the size of an oil tanker, and was rectangular in shape, similar to what you would see for a barge. I even remember that the bottom of it was red. It easily obscured 50% of the width of the sky, and yet it effortlessly drifted passed us, until it disappeared out of sight beyond the next mountain.
My mother, of course remembers none of this. Naturally, the only conclusion i can reach is that a secret government project has gotten its hands on alien technology. In order to keep the project secret, they have fitted the craft with a mind-wiping device, which has a flaw in that it cannot affect young boys. There's no way my memories as a science-fiction-infused pre-teenager 18 years ago could be faulty.- Anonymous4/04/2011 8:45 AM
@arensb: I don't know what it can do either. I don't know what a Broken Spectre looks like from the back--how or if it would display. My point is only that it's very easy to find a natural phenomena that includes all the key descriptors of the "angel." To me this should at least be an indication that "supernature" is bit of auto-leap, and ruling out natural possibilities would require a lot more work than has been done above by me or the letter writer.
ReplyDelete The certainty with which people claim certain experiences or opinions is staggering. It has been demonstrated so many times that humans are so easily manipulated into whatever you want them to believe, you would think people would get that now.
I guess it's to much to handle for people to accept that their memory and/or judgement of a situation is far from perfect. Maybe that's why religion is so succesful.You did a brilliant job concisely identifying where this anecdotal testimony/ hearsay fails as evidence. Where you really hit the nail on the head, in my opinion, was in your emphasis that the issue is with the interpretation of events in question, sincerity notwithstanding.
As is probably the case with many an atheist who had a religious upbringing, I have many friends and family who regard my skepticism as a perilous vice. Whenever I ask them for some demonstration of the veracity of their beliefs, though, they instead submit as "evidence" subjective emotional experience or else mere accounts of the depth of their convictions. When this fails to win me over, they almost always resort to begging the question. "Well, I gave you evidence, but your heart and mind are closed. If you seek (insert their supernatural presupposition) with your whole heart, you'll find it/him/them." Gee, no kidding? You mean if you fervently pursue what you desire and expect to find you will probably be able to convince yourself you've found it? And this speaks to its *validity* how, exactly?I'd just like to point out that measuring a visual phenomenon in degrees rather than a linear measurement is actually a good way of solving the problem of being unable to judge distance.
Yes your thumb can cover the sun, and in that case your thumb covers a larger number of (vertical) degrees of your vision than the sun does. Saying something is "20 to 30 degrees", is saying that it could be miles tall and very far away (i.e. on the horizon), or fractions of an inch and right in front of your eye. It doesn't give you any idea of how tall the "thing" is until/unless you know how far away it is, but nevertheless it is a relevant and useful piece of information towards learning how tall something is.
Where the person says it was about 10 feet tall is where they make the ungrounded assumption of height, but the two reports of "20 to 25 degrees" and "20 to 30 degrees" are not problematic, except in being subject to the same memory distortions as everything else. You are correct in saying that they are unhelpful in this instance, but having measurement in degrees of the same phenomenon from two different locations would give us a good idea of its actual size and position, so it is not in principle unhelpful.I am not realy sure if this helps anyone but you can explain a lot of these stuff by analysing it with gestalt psychology.
When you are watchng a picture of a dog you immidiatly understand a dog in your head, but if there are obstacles on the picture or the dog is not totaly visible then you might understand parts of him indipendently and not associate them with one object (in this case the dog). This is a masking effect (obviously on this a lot of animals base their hiding skills!). Generaly gestalt says that the brain is trying to explain pictures so as to create a "good shape" (law of closure) but not always this interpetation is correct. Very well known are some ilusion tricks that use this kind of laws to trick others into believing something faulty for the sake of the show.The thing is that I'm not sure the party positing the supernatural explanation- at least in this case, though I suspect in the vast majority of cases- is *at all* interested in natural explanations, whether they are somewhat complicated/ dependent on a degree of eruditness or whether they are simpler and more obvious to the layman. Okay, that was just a rambly way of accusing them of not caring whether they believe true or false things.
The adage about extraordinary claims requiring extraordinary evidence applies here, and if you think you're up to that task, you'd better bring more to the table than supernatural presupposition, because otherwise you've failed before you've even begun. I know I'm not saying anything that hasn't been said a million times before here, but it drives me up the wall and down the other side. I want to scream, "Give me a fucking break! You make an extraordinary claim, and your idea of meeting your burden of proof is to submit anecdotal testimony as evidence that something you already believed in is true?" *insert loud, abrasive buzzer sound effect* "Sorry. Thanks for playing. Next!" Thank goodness there are people like Tracie to address this with more respect and patience. ;-)Spot-on analysis.
As an aside, when Christians hear that someone saw an "angel with wings", they should immediately discount it. Their own theology and church teachings(at least these days)tell them angels aren't supposed to "really" have wings, they're simply painted that way in representational art to symbolize the great speed with which they supposedly can move from place to place. Or at least that's what I was told as a young, very gullible child by those supposedly "in the know".Didn't we have an all too similar story a few months ago on this blog? About some guy and his friends who'd experienced some wave of happiness in church and he called them after 20 years to corroborate his experiences and it turns out, hey, they conveniently remembered the same thing! or something.
All of a sudden some other person had the desire to revisit some experience from their youth and/or past not long after the other person and then send his results to the people @ the atheist experience?
I find it a bit suspicious.
I just had to comment on that midway. Off to read the rest.There are two points that make this story just another Jesus on Toast story. That the storyteller immediately falls to the ground and prays shows that they are preconditioned to that type of vision. That someone else mocked them and basically said she didn't see it.
As far as size which doesn't prove anything one way or another, I thought angels were tiny because so many of them can dance on the head of a pin.Great article.
Maybe it was an angel. Here's what I mean. A thousand or two years ago, nobody knew what an angel was supposed to look like. Some artist was walking around in the mountains at sunset and saw a "mountain specter." Artist says, "Wow, that must be an angel." Went home and drew a picture of what he saw and titled it "angel." That image then entered the culture and became the standard for what an angel looked like.What I love about stories like these is that, even if you grant that everything occurred exactly as the witness described, and that their interpretation of what they saw was at least marginally accurate, it still doesn't prove anything of substance.
Let's say it was an "angel." What was it doing? Admiring the sunset? You only saw one; which means you have evidence for one luminescent being. You can't prove it works as a messenger or guardian for some other power. You can't extrapolate that it had any interest in what you or your friends were doing. You can't even prove it did anything else, ever, before or after the event. For all anyone else (that is, anyone who hasn't been indoctrinated with ideas about divine beings) knows, there was a glowy winged being admiring the summer sunset in Arizona over twenty years ago. That's all this story proves.I completely fail to understand how an adult person can conclude things like this. I can't be the only person who has experienced "illusions" or seen tricks of light or simply been mistaken. Hundreds of times that's happened in my life, and that's being conservative. Even if I were to see something fairly extraordinary, my kneejerk reaction would be towards thinking I am seeing in wrong. Why would I think, "well this time, unlike all others, my eye/ brain connection is working flawlessly, so it must be a floating 73 buick rocketship driven by one of those curly feathered geese...Bob says so ,too"?
That's why, these days, I investigate any weird thing like that to the best of my ability. I don't want to assume anything or be the curmudgeonly naysayer. Even though it never winds up being magical or supernatural (yet), what we find can be more interesting, mostly because it's real.Atmospheric Optics is the place to go for an explanation of this phenomena and many others. I love this website and have it as one of my daily links. Each day, there is a different phenomena and an explanation of how it is formed.
For the one in Tracie's story go to this link.
Under 'The Glory' is a submenu regarding Glories. The'Brocken Spectre' explains what it seems these people saw.
It is rather amusing that they were probably seeing their own shadow projected through the mist.
There are numerous images of Glories. It is an intriguing phenomena--but completely natural.I would be interested to know what her beliefs are in regard to "lie-detectors" and how they function. Many people believe that these devices somehow "know" the truth, or that they have access to the "tape-recorder" that they believe they have in their heads. A common misconception about memory is that "everything you ever experience is recorded." This is part of the "brain is just a big computer" metaphor gone horribly awry.
She may actually believe that if she submits to a polygraph, and the process affirms her narrative, that it means not only is she telling the truth, but also that the test affirms that the events were real as she asserts they are. This is very common among people who hold the authoritarian worldview... with all its inherent paradoxes.I recall seeing a ghost. I had just woken up and there was a toddler sitting on the floor near my bed. He made no noise and reacted to an unheard noise. I rolled over and when I looked back he was gone.
I told my flatmate this after we had moved out and she said she'd have left the next day if I had told her that at the time.
Now, I don't believe in ghosts so I'm pretty certain it wasn't. And I have evidence it wasn't: the memory has faded, I recall the kid had dungarees, but can't recall the shirt or his hair colour. Exactly as you'd expect of a waking dream. Yet this exact scenario would confirm the existence of ghosts in anyone who already believed.
Just thought I'd share...- Anonymous4/05/2011 6:30 AM
@ Yiab: I agree with you that it is useless without distance. That was my point—esp when he asserted it was 10-ft tall (as you also noted). How would you know without a gage of distance? I know how big a thumb is—but how big are angels? While I didn't go into the detail you did (and I appreciate your further input), in this case it was useless data.
@ Arensb: Your point still made me think last night—mainly because it was a critique I'd thought of myself even before I posted. And I wondered two things: (1) were they facing directly into the sun? Were the mountains westward with the sun directly behind them or with the sun at an angle? And (2) could there have been a reflective surface anywhere in the area—either between this group and the mountains, or behind them? This is the problem of "20 years ago"—there is just no way to investigate. In fact, if there had been a metal sandwich truck in the park that day—and it wasn't there the next day—we'd have the same dilemma. With these events, if causes aren't determined right away—you lose the opportunity to verify. And going by a description, rather than a photo really kills, because you're using your own mental approximation to try and decipher what the person _actually_ saw. So, it's just a cluster-F at this point of guesswork and faded recollections and people who think their memories just can't fail. (Although I haven't seen a reply to this yet, so they may yet come back to say maybe they just misremember or weren't thinking clearly during the event…but why do I think that unlikely?)
@Stamatis: Even if it wasn't at work in this case (and who knows?)—your point demonstrates as I keep insisting…we just can't know what happened, and there is now no way to find the actual cause. It's lost. And it may be frustrating if you really saw a live angel and nobody believes you—but honestly, even if I saw a real angel, I think that my own reaction would be to think I'd just had a brain fart, and not that I actually really saw an angel. I'd go for "psychosis of some sort" over "angel" any day if there was no way to independently verify.
@Kim: Exactly. I wish I'd saved the chat message. It was brief, and I recall the "angel" claim was sort of less solid, but the statement that it was supernatural was solid. That's always what I look for when a person posts such a tale to me: Are you saying you are wondering if there is a natural explanation—or that you know there's not? And if you know there's not—please tell me how you've determined that—without verifying any cause for what you saw?
@Farmboy—these stories aren't rare. They're pervasive. You're seeing a sampling. This particular story, I posted because I have little time these days for a back-and-forth correspondence with someone when I've been down that road a million times (as you say, even you recall the one I posted previously. And I also did a show on another one about a girl who "predicted" the sex of a child before it was born, and someone who was calling it miraculous; and another show on a "ghost story" where a woman did the same thing with "I saw a ghost"). It's not suspicious. I assure you we get LOADS of these.
@Xairo: I know, aren't they cool?
@March Hare: As someone who has both had lucid dreams and sleep paralysis—I simply don't trust ANYTHING that anyone sees either as they're going to bed or upon waking. Any story that includes "I had just gone to bed…" Or "I was getting ready for bed…" Or "I was suddenly wide awake…" Or "I was awake, because I'd just looked at my clock as I was lying there…" loses automatically. "It's unrealistic for me to believe you saw something bizarre and decided not to discuss it among yourselves at the time."
Thank you for making this point, Tracie. It's always the first thing that comes to mind when people refer to allegedly supernatural events that happened years ago. If they didn't find it so amazing or life-changing back then, why do they think it's so significant now?Did this person start this with "I'm an atheist, but..."?
It's amazing how obtuse some people can be when re-examining a past event :P; especially one as fantastical as this.
I have one for the e-mailer. When I was around eight or nine years old I saw a demon in my room. I remember it vividly, and the thought of it scared me for years! Note, however, that I use the past tense. At some point, years ago, when I started seriously questioning the relevance of supernatural claims I forced myself to re-examine what [i]I[/i] had experienced. When I did so I found myself with some interesting facts. I was very young, extremely imaginative, raised in a somewhat southern baptist home, and asleep. All of these facts together make it far more likely that I dreamed the incident.
It's stated in the intro that this person is an atheist, but considering the claim I have to wonder.
P.S. Superb break-down, Tracie! Perfectly articulated why the claim was patently absurd.Now you have me bummed out Tracie. I have never seen an angel but they are not real so that is no big deal. However, now I find out that I have missed out on seeing some incredible natural displays.
@Lorel I think it safe to say that most adults have little understand of how the brain interprets all sensory input or that memories are so plastic. As part of the mythology of our culture there are beliefs that lie detectors can confirm truth and that eyewitness testimony is a highly reliable form of evidence. This information is still strong out there in TV land where most people get their facts.I would have said:
It's an atheist's willingness to continue to wait, explore, demand, debunk, re-evaluate, start over, look further, test, test, test and retest, document, study, devote, test again, wait longer, and continue reaching for Answers that makes him the future of mankind. it is the theist who is told whats what when they are 4 years old and that's that, never breaking, never swaying, never participating, NEVER learning, and worst of all never ACCEPTING the answers when they come. it is the theist who resembles the mankind of a few thousand years ago, the theist who will eventually branch off entirely and be left behind on the doomed planet their God gave them while we move onward to tackle the heavens...
...And here we are, alive and witnessing the "gray area," the generations during which past and future overlap; a sort of civil war between those who are to satisfied and comfortable and those to curious and motivated. history will look up...on religion as a near death experience mankind barely survived, an ancient virus of the mind we eventually cured, the unfortunate side effect of intelligence that nearly derailed progress at the very start. children will have the damnedest time even believing what their history teachers tell them we once believed. it will be difficult to believe that you, theist, ever existed.I just don't understand how she didn't know what her sister did when she saw the angel, when she just called her to talk about it. Her sister stopped at "we saw the angel"? Not with "and then I xxxx"?
Same goes with the friend who remembered "vividly." She didn't remember exactly how she mocked her?- Anonymous4/14/2011 1:18 PM
A similar visual illusion is the "sun dog": a rainbow circle or a pair of arcs around the sun caused by ice crystals in the air.
See here:
Here are other examples of the "broken spectre" phenomena.
The young person who mistook such a vision for an angel may have interpreted the event differently if they had explored it instead of closing their eyes and praying.
* They may have noticed that the image moved when they, or one or their companions, moved.
* They may have noticed that the image changed as they moved to a different place.
* They may have given some serious thought to why the vision did not actually do anything, but simply hovered uselessly with its "face" under a "wing". Would that be likely if it were in any sense "alive"?

Are you thinking about selling to an iBuyer in Asheville? Learn why the process can be risky and what alternatives you have instead in our latest post!
The rise of iBuyers is having a dramatic effect on the real estate market. While the convenience can be appealing, there are ways to sell that are just as easy, without costing you a fortune in costs or fees. Keep reading to learn more about iBuyers and the risks they pose to home sellers in Asheville!
Less Personal
When you work with an iBuyer to sell your house in Asheville, the process won't be nearly as personal as working with a local agent or a local home buyer such as Asheville Cash Buyers. An iBuyer isn't going to take the time to get to know you and your personal situation. iBuyers will typically throw out an offer and move onto the next house. In many cases, you are just a number to them!
Low Offers
An iBuyer is not going to take the time to learn about all of the property's benefits. Instead, they use automated software to determine the value of your home. While computers can do this pretty well, they will often miss out on things that affect your home value. iBuyers will often make blanket offers to homeowners in a specific region. While the price might work for some people, it may not work for you. It can be much more beneficial to work with someone with their feet on the ground as opposed to relying on what a computer has to say about your property. Don't commit to an iBuyer for your house in Asheville until you explore all of your selling options. Run the numbers by getting a no-obligation offer from our team today! We will make you an offer, plus we can help you understand what to expect if you should go with an agent. Our goal is to provide you with the information you need to you can make the best decision about how to sell your house in Asheville!
Not Local
From knowing the neighborhood to understanding what is possible with the property, iBuyers just aren't going to get it. iBuyers typically buy houses nationwide, making it nearly impossible for them to understand every nuance of your local real estate market. As local home buyers, we understand the local market better than anyone. We will always pay you a fair price, closing on the day that is best for you. When you work with an iBuyer, you will be on their schedule, possibly even asked to clean up before you go. As Asheville Cash Buyers, we make things as simple as possible for you, even handling all of the clean-up.
Less Wiggle Room
When you work with a professional buyer of a Asheville real estate agent, you will have some wiggle room when it comes to the negotiations. You will usually be able to strike a deal when working with somebody more local. With iBuyers, they make you an offer and that's it. There is no going back to the drawing board. If you want to negotiate, the iBuyer is likely just going to move onto the next property seller. At Asheville Cash Buyers, we want to work with you to find the price that makes the most sense. We aren't trying to buy your house at the lowest price possible, rather we want to work with Asheville homeowners one on one to find the offer price that makes the most sense! We want to help you reach all of your selling goals!
High Fees
Working with an agent will typically cost you around 6% in commissions. Working with an iBuyer can cost anywhere from 7.5-11.5% of the sale price! So let's say you sell to an iBuyer for $200k. You could lose out on $23,000 in fees and costs! That is a fortune! Plus your offer will likely be much lower than what you would receive on the open market. If you want to avoid ALL agent fees and commissions, selling to a private, professional buyer is the way to go! Working with Asheville Cash Buyers will ensure you receive a fair price without any of the red-tape or fees.
What To Do Instead
Selling to an iBuyer can be risky. Many people see it as a fast solution for an old or run-down property, which it can be, but it comes with a cost. While the process may be fast, you will likely receive much less when all is said and done. Working with a professional and local homebuyer will likely put more cash in your pocket while saving you time. We understand the local real estate market and what is possible with houses in this area. We will always pay you a fair price, customized to your personal property!
