Statement: Hurricane "Sandy" and Blizzard "Nemo" have SAME "Cause & Effect" Scenario
Friday, February 8th 2013, 6:47 PM EST
(Site Admin)
Many of you have emailed me about the recent Piers Corbyn R5+ Solar/Lunar forecast saying the results were so similar between Hurricane "Sandy" and Blizzard "Nemo" that we should put out a statement of some sort.
In principal I agree with that request, but the reality is people will not comprehend what it is we are informing them about.
In our
Statement: Solar Climate Change and Hurricane "Sandy"
dated 1st November we put forward that a top level Solar/Lunar period, an R5+, was extended due to longer then expected burst of solar activity, and as a result there was a M7.7 Earthquake in Canada and Hurricane "Sandy" that formed in the Atlantic, she then went to the North East of the USA and hit the East coast, the rest as they say is history.
This week we had another extended R5+ period that was also due to longer then expected solar activity, that ALSO had a very high rated Earthquake (M8) and another formation of "super storm" in the Atlantic that has now run along the North East of USA. And yet the worlds media, and sadly this also includes Anthony Watts at WUWT who runs a skeptical scientific website for people who only share his version of skeptical views, will pay not attention to what we have had to say about the events of this week.
It is regret to those who have noticed this similarity in events between the last four months that what you have seen during live experiments is not worthy for the public domain yet. I guess the world is not ready for the revelation that our Sun and our Moon control the Earth's climate, and oh how at time like this I wish we had funding like other skeptical web sites.
Its thanks to the worlds media and sadly as already mentioned, that includes Anthony Watts, these two similar stories of two Major Atlantic storms and two Major Earthquakes will not be promoted.
The discovery made by Piers Corbyn about how our climate works in conjunction with the Sun and Moon will remain a secret to only those with open minds

Were there any linked events with Hurricane Katrina or the Japanese 2011 EQ? :)

"The discovery made by Piers Corbyn about how our climate works in conjunction with the Sun and Moon will remain a secret to only those with open minds"
Piers does definitely not have the solution to natural seasonal variation. And extending the R5 to 6 days long is a fudge, what happened on the 4-5th was clearly a separate weather impact period and nothing to do with the R5 forecast period.

it was after the Major Earthquake that Piers started the "R" rating in respect of Earthquake forecasts

There is nothing wrong in sending me your own "R" forecast, there is a differance in what you and Piers do, why you insist of claiming success after a result when you can't show your forecast is not helpfule

Not sure Ulric was claiming a success, looks more like he was stating a fact about the recent weather?
Anyway CO2 if you there could be a link out there you've got decades and decades of records that will either confirm or refute it and it won't cost you a penny! Surprised you haven't already done so?

As already stated the "R" ratings for Earthquakes were introduced after the Japan Earthquake, not sure if your just being sarcastic

Q ratings actually! No, I'm not being sarcastic, it doesn't have to relate to any solar/lunar forecast, they are only forecasts after all. I thought you sensed that there might be a link that was worth investigating.

Co2sceptic said:
"..why you insist of claiming success after a result when you can't show your forecast is not helpfule"
I made NO SUCH CLAIMS, I am stating that it is INVALID to extend the R5 period to the 5th of Feb. Weather (wind and precipitation) were quieter on the 1st to 3rd of Feb, so the weather on the 4/5th of Feb was without doubt a new 'hit', and nothing to do with what was happening at the end of Jan. The 4th of Feb already has an R3 period on the WA forecast anyway.
The QV period is 30th Jan to 2nd Feb, are you seriously suggesting it should be extended to 7 DAYS LONG ??
As I said before, the weather main weather effects were done by the 31st Jan, so the R5 has failed for timing.

Elim, your idea of linking the record with the current predictive model Pierce uses (assuming it's something that is modeled to some degree) is definitively tempting. But the only one able to do so is Pierce himself and I've assumed he uses these records already for fine-tuning the model. Just linking one type of solar activity with the whole of climate changes or Earth core and crust would be too simple otherwise the links would have shown up ages ago in the mainstream.
It's my belief that the right answer to a lack of funding is just releasing all the data and methods for others to help getting it right. Science is community after all. Pierce has decided he wants to secure his income with it for the time being and perhaps having some control over the process of development. Hard to guess right now.
But if the stakes would be really that high for society as often implied (people dying and damages because of unpreparedness), it's almost a crime to keep sitting on all the data and models that could blow wide open the climate change discussion and related big spending issues. So here's my plea to throw the debate wide open and share all available data and calculations. I think due credit will always be given and Pierce shouldn't be too worried for his income to dry up if it pans out that he's been on the right track all along.

Can you let me know if your copy of the WA February report stated 1st to 5th February for the R5+ event. I know the WA January report stated 31st to 3rd February so by my calculations Piers extended the period by TWO DAYS.
How you fit in that Piers should not have extended the period is a bit confusing as it's HIS forecast.
The way I see the event is that the Sun did not use the Piers method and did it's own thing. So the event was correct but it was the forecast that was wrong
Forecasts and actual events are two different areas, maybe you have got the two areas mixed up.
Your making it sound very confusing, anyone would think your not on the same side!

Hi John
Science is community after all.
Alas John, Science is one community for those who have Government funding and Science is another community for those who have no funding.
Sadly Politics and science have mixed and the result is the scientific community has divided.
PIERS and NOT the person you have named Pierce, has no funding as his work shows no "man made" climate change, but climate changes from the Sun, who will fund such a venture now Politics has taken over the results of science!

Co2sceptic, sorry about that. Although I think it's about the difference between Pete and Peter but I might be wrong (actually it's a transcription of Peter). Still I'd like to be more accurate in the future.
With community I mean just the mechanism of how things
work. Even amateur or underfunded researchers could work together. As a matter of fact you are posting many articles published by exactly those kind of groups and institutes. Why the divisions in all the camps?
Perhaps Piers should start something on kickstarter.com. How much funding would be needed anyway? It's clear that there is already a method and a model in place of which many people already claim it
with some level of accuracy. It's not like a production plant is needed. So again the question: why keeping the details away from everyone, no matter the politics or view on climate change? Don't we need everyone available and interested to do more checks and double checks, voluntarily even?
PS: please do not paint me in a corner of some opponent just because I'm asking pointy questions. I've been generally supportive since a long time.

1. The R5+ was NOT extended it always was 31Jan to 3Feb.
2. The weather periods have to be 8 per month for adminstrative reasons. First period of Feb 1-5 was chosen after due consideration and included the R5+ mentioned and R3 Feb 4th. Both R periods and weather periods around them have sub-periods involving various factors which cannot be avoided.
3. Natural seasonal variation is primarily to do with the tilt of the earth.
4. My total knowledge is like but a pea in the Albert Hall compared with what there is to be known.
5. I often discuss these sort of storms mentioned in presentations. Irene is another and you may recall we at WeatherAction predicted it in a lot of detail from 85 days ahead
6. Watch the next events Discussion on:
Thanks Piers

Interesting that you say the period of 31st to 3rd wasn't extended, as CO2 said you did?
"I had a chat on the phone with Piers Corbyn just now about this event and he was not that surprised the M8 EQ has happened.
His original R5+ window of the 31st January - 3rd February was extended to the 5th
on the latest monthly WeatherAction.com report due to the uncertainty revolving around the timing of the high level "R" rating event."

Centaur - Dark Tan (Charger)
Centaurs, according to Greek mythology, were a composite race of creatures, part human and part horse. These strange creatures had the head arms and chest of a man but the legs and lower half of a horse. Some were noble and wise, many were savage and ruthless bringing shame upon their kind. Conforming to official standards the Centaur piece allows you to add your own minifig body parts to create your own ancient folk hero. Additional connection points allow for equipment storage or seating for a bold equestrian. Fits most standard minifig torsos.
The Centaur Charger is a heavily armored melee class. Their knowledge of tactics and composed discipline make them great field captains and dedicated soldiers. Their famous 'stampede' formation will crush any counter-assault and press a fleeing army with hoof prints.

Our price: $5.00
Chin Strap - Dark Tan
If your minifig is tired of having a chin strap tattooed onto their faces, why not add a bit of realism by equipping the Chin Strap from BrickForge? The Chin Strap snaps directly onto any of our Tactical Helmets for a unique, customized look. And we're positive your figs will appreciate the additional protection.
Our price: $0.50
Compound Bow - Dark Tan
A Compound Bow is a modern bow that uses an assisted levering system, usually of cables and pulleys, to bend the limbs. The added force makes it the first choice among hunters and misunderstood ex-military types (mission accomplished!). The bow features iconic rugged curves and split notches to assist in posing your favorite BrickForge Arrows (available separately). Fits most standard minifig hands.
Our price: $1.00
Flintlock Pistol - Dark Tan
The Flintlock Pistol was the greatest advance in pirating since the wooden leg. Developed in the 1600s, these pistols revolutionized ship-to-ship combat (and on-land raiding), and later became a primary means of dueling. Their effective range was very short, and they were frequently used as an adjunct to the sword or cutlass. Sea rovers will appreciate the simple, yet familiar styling that allows for multiple grip points and easy handling. Fits most standard minifig hands.
Our price: $0.75
Gunbelt - Dark Tan
A staple of pistoliers everywhere, the Gunbelt was an essential piece of equipment in the Old West & beyond. Holsters mounted on a belt started showing up in the 1840's from enterprising leatherworkers and saddlesmiths. Gunbelt holsters came in many forms, the Slim Jim, Mexican Loop and Buscadero to name a few. The BrickForge Gunbelt is of standard design with a pliable holster molded directly into the belt. Fitting between the minifig torso & hip pieces the Gunbelt not only secures your favorite firearm but is also ideal for other weapons & equipment like the BrickForge Nightstick. Holster size is approximately 3mm x 2.35mm and fits accessories 3mm (or less) in diameter comfortably.
Our soft ABS plastic contains an additive making it flexible - but not stretchable. Excess tugging, twisting and attempts to fit bigger-than-intended elements inside holster slots may result in tearing. Pieces broken due to excessive play are not eligible for replacement.

Our price: $1.00
Hero Hair - Dark Tan
Consider this curious coif to cause quite a commotion in the community! Hero Hair is the perfect choice for that minifig who just finished battling a mutant undead army or is simply going for that tussled look. Fits most standard minifig heads.
Our price: $1.50
Knights Shield - Dark Tan
BrickForge's Knights Shield is in essence an elongated heater shield based on a late 12th century design when kite shields were becoming shorter and more triangular. Perfect for your wandering crusader or hung in the Great Hall sporting his coat of arms. Knights Shield is smithed without a center boss and smooth surface so you can apply your own design using decals, paints or other preferred types of mediums. Flat inside consists of a centered, standard minifig grip.
Our price: $1.00
Laser Beam - Dark Tan
Add some FX to your minifig duels. The Laser Beam fits into most rayguns and laser swords or any other connection point accepting standard 3mm components including minifig hands.
Our price: $0.20
Market price: $0.45
save 56%
Lens Piece - Dark Tan
In its most simplest form the Lens Piece acts as a nifty decorative element. Primarily created for use with our Headlamp and Scooter products, the Lens Piece can also be used as a bottle topper, flashlight lens, or headlights for various brick-built vehicles. Flip it over to use as a Petri dish or decorate the wings of your favorite starship. What other uses can you come up with? Fits most standard 5mm 1x1 connection points.
Our price: $0.15
Longbow - Dark Tan
The Longbow is a fairly tall, D-shaped bow which accomodatesan extra long draw. As such it has been instrumental in many cultures as both a hunting tool and weapon of warfare. In the Middle Ages the English were famous for their very heavy Longbows which were used to great effect against the French. Longbows also became popular amongst mounted Samurai warfare and Native American tribesmen. In the hands of skilled archers, hundreds of thousands of arrows could rain down on an opposing force with severe consequences. Grooves on upper and lower limbs allow you to actually string the Longbow using fishing line or thread. Fits most standard minifig hands.
Our price: $1.00

Head (180 gram pressing)
LP (Item 582266) Colgems/Rhino, 1968 — Condition: New Copy
A wonderfully trippy record by The Monkees, and the soundtrack to their equally trippy film from the late 60s. The music's like nothing else they ever did, and the record's a post-Sgt. Pepper's collage of sounds from the movie, weird little spoken bits, and delightfully psychedelic songs. Incidental music's by Ken Thorne, but the bulk of the tracks are by Jones, Tork, Nesmith, and Dolenz. Titles include "Porpoise Song", "Circle Sky", "Can You Dig It", "Gravy", and "Dandruff?" © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

It is our intent, with this limited report, to provide a snapshot of the status of African American participation in the life and times of Pasadena. It is a city with much talent and much to offer its citizens and the nation. The African American participation is significant.
The past year has seen many changes in the position of African Americans in Pasadena setting up what should be a good year for progress in the City of Roses. The dilemma is the same one that African Americans face across America. That dilemma simply put is that with the giant steps made by some African Americans in public life there will be a tendency in the celebration of the giant steps, to think that racism is a thing of the past. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
An article about the benefits of a college degree education in the April 26, 2013 Chronicle of Higher Education points out facts that lead to the conclusion that even with degrees racism still is rampant. The article, while not about race, per-se, says "There are 115,000 janitors with four-year degrees. Fifteen percent of the taxi drivers have college degrees now." The long held theory that Blacks are the last hired and the first fired is evidenced everywhere we look.
In Pasadena, the staff at the Community Health Alliance Partnership (CHAPS) gives the appearance of one of the most blatant examples of racism in the city of Pasadena. One recent visit by this writer (May 2, 2013) demonstrated that this agency that was created by a Black Male Forum and funded in part by government money hires all races but Blacks. The agency is in the heart of the Black community but gives the appearance of being in the community but not of the community. There seems to be an invisible sign that says " BLACKS NEED NOT APPLY." It seems to be ripe for demonstrations pickets and probably lawsuits for discrimination against Black employment.

The occupational therapy program at NYIT offers students an opportunity to earn a master's degree in occupational therapy. There is also a combined B.S./M.S. program for students who do not have a bachelor's degree that meets the admission requirements of the master's program. The occupational therapy program is held at NYIT's Old Westbury, Long Island campus.
The program has been very successful in preparing students for the occupational therapist profession. Meet our dedicated faculty and learn more about the department's academic programs.
The Department of Occupational Therapy, which began offering bachelor's degrees in 1996, has been fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) since 1999.
The department offers two degree tracks, a combined Bachelor of Science in life science/Master of Science in occupational therapy for undergraduate students, and the Master of Science in occupational therapy for graduate students. These programs were fully accredited following the site visit by the ACOTE survey team in 2003.
The pre-professional courses are offered at NYIT's Old Westbury and Manhattan campuses; all of the professional (graduate level) courses are offered on the Old Westbury campus. The department has a teaching lab well-equipped to prepare students for the fieldwork experiences offered at a wide variety of vetted facilities throughout the greater New York metropolitan area and at selected sites throughout the United States.
The faculty are master clinicians with post-professional graduate preparation, as well as clinical and didactic teaching experience. The rigor of classroom and fieldwork instruction demands a high level of commitment from students. For example, students must complete eight months of full-time fieldwork in a variety of settings with persons of diverse cultural backgrounds with clinical and social problems.
In addition, the location of the program in a medical school complex offers rich laboratory and library resources, as well as education with other health professions students in nutrition, nursing, physical therapy, and physician assistant studies. The occupational therapy and physical therapy students learn together in nine of the required courses.
The faculty and administrative staff join me in welcoming your inquiries. For further information, you are invited to explore our Web pages and then to call 516.686.3865.
Best wishes as you pursue your dream to help others realize their dreams of independence.

MONTREAL -- After battling knee injuries for two seasons, Andrei Markov is looking like his old, dominant self on the Montreal Canadiens blue-line.
The veteran defenceman scored a pair of goals -- his first in only 17 games played since Nov. 9, 2010 -- as the Canadiens downed the Florida Panthers 4-1 on Tuesday night.
"Every goal and win is special," said Markov, who has endured two surgeries on the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. "I'm happy to be back and happy to be healthy and I'm just enjoying playing, especially here in front of our fans."
It was also a big night for 18-year-old Alex Galchenyuk, who scored his first NHL goal.
His tip of a Brandon Prust shot at 14:25 of the second period drew deafening applause from the 21,273 Bell Centre spectators, who see the third overall pick from the June draft as a future star.
"To have a crowd like that was just phenomenal," said Galchenyuk. "Every single guy (on the bench) congratulated me, but it was only the second period and I had to stay focused.
"It was nice to get the first one out of the way."
Tomas Plekanec also scored for Montreal (1-1-0), while Rafael Diaz and Max Pacioretty each had two assists.
Tomas Kopecky scored for Florida (1-2-0), which was coming off a 4-0 loss in Ottawa on Monday night and looked lifeless playing a third game in four nights.
Markov was Montreal's top defenceman before his injuries and the team struggled without him the last two seasons, falling to last place in the Eastern Conference last season.
The knee held up as he played in the KHL during the lockout and he was among the few Canadiens that looked strong in a season-opening 2-1 loss to Toronto on Saturday.
He was even better in his second game back, finding the open man and moving the puck with crisp, precision passes.
Coach Michel Therrien said he played like a general on defence.
"He scored two goals, and at the other end of the ice he controlled the play," said Therrien.
It was the first win for Therrien since starting his second stint as head coach in Montreal, but when Price brought him the game puck, he passed it on to Marc Bergevin, who got his first victory as general manager.
"It was more important for him," said Therrien.
The coach opted to make a healthy scratch of Lars Eller and move Galchenyuk to his natural position at centre on the third line. He also put Brendan Gallagher on that line with tough guy Prust and the energetic little winger got his first NHL point on Galchenyuk's goal.
"I thought Alex played well," said Therrien. "He played more his type of game than he did in the first one.
"Sometimes when you play with another young guy you play your game more instead of trying to please the veterans."
Galchenyuk, who helped the U.S. win gold at the world junior championship only three weeks ago, is making a case to stay in Montreal the rest of the season instead of returning to the junior Sarnia Sting.
Florida goalie Scott Clemmensen went into the game with a 6-0 career record against Montreal, but it was Carey Price who got the win as the Canadiens had a 33-28 shot advantage.
Both Markov goals came on the power play.
After Plekanec scored from the slot on a feed from Brian Gionta 3:26 into the game, Markov blasted one in from the slot during a two-man advantage at 13:24.
Kopecky got one back with a man advantage 4:33 into the second period as he one-timed Tomas Fleischmann's pass in from the right circle.
Markov got his second on a low blast from the point at 8:31.
With restricted free agent P.K. Subban still holding out, the Canadiens lack a pure shooter from the point on the power play. Markov and Diaz formed an efficient pair even though both normally prefer passing to shooting.
"Everybody has to be a shooter," said Markov. "It's about feeling. If you see the traffic in front of the net, why not?"
The Canadiens killed off a five-minute penalty that included two minutes down two men in the third period.
Notes: A pre-game video was shown honouring Radio-Canada broadcaster Richard Garneau, who died this week ... Canadiens legend and 1945 NHL MVP Elmer Lach turned 95 on Tuesday. . . Eller was sent to the pressbox as Gallagher moved onto the third line for his NHL debut. . . Newly named captain Ed Jovanovski was scratched.... Kris Versteeg is out with a groin injury, which put Drew Shore into his first NHL game.

The time was 8:38 AM. I climbed into my Chevy Tahoe with only one question on my mind: What am I doing? I have declined the opportunity for extra sleep in order to try out for a baseball team that I have no shot of making. This sounds like a novel idea.
Welcome to the world of Internet blogging.
I arrived at Tigertown in my home city of Lakeland a few minutes late and was told to head out to Al Kaline field. After making my way to the registration site, I immediately saw hundreds of hopeful players, decked out in all forms of baseball gear. Naturally, I felt out of place in my sleeveless shirt and athletic shorts, but this would become a recurring theme for the day. I made my way to a table with registration cards, where I filled out as much information as I could. At least I knew my name and address. In all reality, it would have been a little easier to fill out the card had the last time I played on a baseball team not been in 6th grade. Oh well. You had better believe that I wasn't going to write that down.
I submitted my card with the rest of the second basemen, as I felt that was the safest position to aim for. I play third base on my softball team, but I didn't think I could consistently make the throw from third base on a larger field. I was finally assigned #417, and my initial thought was that I was the 417th person to submit a card. Thankfully this was not the case. At this point, I waited with all of the other applicants outside the field until 10 AM, when we were ushered onto the field.
Once on the field, one of the instructors ordered participants to line up according to numbers. My number was 417, so I lined up at the tail end of the 400 line with the rest of the second basemen. The first exercise involved the potential catchers throwing to second base after a simulated pitch. Next, pitchers and catchers were then moved to another part of the complex and outfielders prepared to work out first. While these workouts were taking place, my group stretched and loosened our arms. I basically ran around aimlessly for some time and then found someone to throw with in order to loosen up. Unfortunately, I spent half of the time dodging balls from the individual throwing beside me. He fell under my category of, "Don't quit your day job…unless its baseball." I found myself labeling a good amount of 30-something men with this tag throughout the day. While I was dodging baseballs, each outfielder was given several balls to field, which they then had to throw to third base. I'm glad I didn't try out for right field.
After outfield tryouts, the infielders were lined up by number for their groundballs. Like I said earlier, I signed up for second so I wouldn't have to make as far of a throw. They lined us up between second and third base anyway. Isn't that ironic, Alanis? Anyway, there was an order to the process, as each fielder was hit one or two regular grounders, then they were asked to backhand the second set, followed by a ball to the left side, and finally a slow roller. Nerves were ever-present among participants, as routine grounders were bobbled with much regularity. As I moved forward to take my place in the dirt, I was held back so Gene Roof could rake the dirt a little bit, which was much appreciated. I was then able to take my place, and Kevin Bradshaw smacked four or five sharp grounders my way. Surprisingly, I fielded all of them cleanly, despite the mediocre throws that would follow (even though all of them still made the base). A friend described my efforts, claiming that "While Kyle could use a stronger throwing arm, his defense was solid and aggressive." That works for me, and my friends are too kind. I was proud of my performance up to this point – not bad for an inexperienced blogger.
The next step in the procedure was batting practice. Instructors Gene Roof and Glenn Ezell set up the pitching machine. I was really hoping that the pitches would be thrown by the instructors, but comparatively speaking, they were still pretty slow (I would say 50-55 MPH). Whatever groups were not assigned to hitting at the time had to shag balls in the outfield. This basically meant that a couple hundred people were standing in the outfield all at once. Most participants brought their own bats and helmets, but I was more than happy to use the equipment that was provided. I was all smiles as I grabbed a helmet with an old English "D" and began to swing a Lousiville Slugger Pro Stock bat.
While I was grabbing my gear, Detroit pitcher Justin Verlander stopped by for a little bit to watch some of the batters, chatting with instructors and checking his cell phone from time to time. As I was taking a few practice swings, contestant #414 had an impressive outing a couple of spots ahead of me. Regardless of his efforts, he seemed to be a little frustrated with himself. Sensing this, one of the instructors called him over and showed the participant his hand – various numbers were written on his palm, with one of them being 414. Within a few minutes, I found myself lining up in my left-handed batting position. I figured that was one thing I had going for me at least.
I stepped into the box as Glenn Ezell loaded pitches into the machine one by one. Not really knowing what to expect, I missed my first pitch horribly. Ezell looks at me and proclaims, "Like I told some of these other guys, if you can't see the ball, you can't hit it." Oh, I saw it alright, as it flew right past me. I chipped a few pitches off after this, followed by a grounder to the second base side. My most impressive hit was a shot down the first base line. It was a good feeling, as I had to turn on it to get ahold of it. The stinging in my hands immediately following wasn't as great of a feeling. But honestly, I wasn't going to buy batting gloves to use for just one day of my life. And I wasn't about to try on a pair of Moises Alou's batting gloves (non baseball fans, Google "Alou batting gloves…").
The rest of the tryout was spent shagging balls in the outfield, so naturally, I had to go back out there once again. The whole procedure was enjoyable, but I was tired, hungry, and ready to leave. All hopeful players were called into the infield around 2:30 PM for the standard, "Thanks for trying, your stats will be posted online" speech. My Tigers tryout was officially over at this point.
Many individuals made the journey to Lakeland for a shot at their dream. All I can say is that I am fortunate enough to live here. It was not uncommon to talk to people who had driven hours and taken time off from school or work. One individual I talked with described his passion for the game and how he flew from Arkansas for one day to try out. I asked him how long he had been training, and he claimed that he hadn't played in six months. Its sad, but I think the ties connecting his passion to his brain had been severed.
I sincerely felt bad for the majority of the participants. I admire those who possess an intense passion for the game – it's the same passion that fuels my desire to write about the sport. But I can honestly say that most of these individuals earnestly thought they could make the squad. As for me, I just wanted to write a story and obtain some bragging rights. Years down the road, I will tell my grandkids, "You know, there was once a time when grandpa tried out for the Detroit Tigers." By that time, my memory will be shot - the details will be exaggerated and blown way out of proportion. But they don't have to know.
As for the rest of my spring break, I have a real job interview to attend to in less than eight hours. Without a doubt, I'm telling my friends and family that its my second job interview of the week.
A huge thanks to Roger Dewitt for taking some great pictures and sharing them with me!

Two ants are running across the top of a tissue box, and one of them asks the other, "Hey, why are we running so fast?"
The other one points down and says in exasperation, "Can't you read? It says right here: 'Tear Across Dotted Line'"
Consider… the Ant
(Oh sure; it's a strange thought for a beautiful Christmas morning. But believe it or not, I'm going somewhere with this line of thought. Bear with me just a bit, if you would.)
Wouldn't it be interesting to be able to really understand ants? Just think; you could discover first-hand how they work together, how they live, how they get from place to place. You'd finally know why ants always seem to walk single-file, how they can carry 10 times their own weight, and most importantly, how exactly can they find their way into just about anything! Just how do they do those crazy ant things they do so very well?
But wait a minute. How could you really understand an ant, anyway? I mean, how would you communicate with them – or even get their attention? And how would they know you wanted to talk? By what means would a human being really understand something so small, so… insignificant.
See, the problem is, not only are you unimaginably bigger than they are, but you don't have much in common with them. Their lives are so much different from yours; I mean, it's pretty much impossible to grasp.
How Could You Understand An Ant?
So what's the best way for you to really understand ants? Well… there is one way I can think of: you could become an ant yourself!
Now, I'm not talking about just shrinking down to the size and shape of an ant. See, without changing who or what you are, your essence, if you will… well, that wouldn't do at all. Not only would you miss out on a genuine ant's point-of-view, but they'd know you weren't really an ant – even if you had the outward appearance of one.
No, I mean actually becoming one; to somehow live life as an ant. You have to be able to experience exactly what the ant is going through firsthand, for only then could you hope to get a true ant's perspective on things. Only then could you understand them. Only then could you communicate with them.
And only then could they truly understand and communicate with you.
Consider… God
A lot of people don't really understand Christmas. I guess that comes as no surprise, considering how much glitz and hoopla fills the air for months ahead of the actual day. But all that, well, stuff, really does is make it easy to miss the real Christmas. C'mon, you know what I mean: the actual human birth of Jesus Christ.
That's the thing folks have a hard time with. I mean, the very idea that God would send His own son, Jesus, to be born as a man, live as a man, and die as a man… well, it just doesn't seem to make any sense.
But in fact, there was simply no other way for God to get our attention. There was no other way for us to know that God himself really wanted to talk to us; to have a relationship with us.
And there was no other way for Him to tell us – and even more importantly, for us to truly understand – that He loved us.
Today is Christmas Day; the day we Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, all over the world, and across virtually all cultures.
Isn't it amazing? To think that even today, and for many people, that was just a seemingly insignificant event that happened long ago. But in truth, the implications of that day somehow transcend time and space, and can still touch us as powerfully today – if we'll just allow it to.
If you're interested in a relationship with the God of the Universe, then there's where it starts – at the manger in Bethlehem.
From the Editor: This post is a reprise of my Christmas Day 2007 post. It was just too good not to repeat.
