Statement: Piers Corbyn: Coping with the correct forecast approach to the "Little Ice Age Type" Circulation Changes
Thursday, May 31st 2012, 8:01 AM EDT
(Site Admin)
Piers Corbyn to make changes to his Solar Lunar Action Technique(SLAT) to fall in line with the NEXT "Little Ice Age"
Piers Corbyn, Astrophysicist of WeatherAction.com said:
"After studying weather developments in the last two months we have introduced some modifications to our Solar Lunar Action Technique. SLAT7a - which was about improving selection of detailed look-backs using lunar factors more strongly - did superbly at predicting the exceptionally cold weather in the first three weeks of May but does not well see the VERY RAPID ("Little Ice Age" type) changes experienced and specifically missed the sudden warming of around 22nd.
"Although our 'at least 6 out of 8 weather periods basically correct' in a month was met in May we want to improve on that and better handle the "approach to LIA weather types" REGIME the world is now in.
"The approach to LIA circulation we are now in

Solar Climate Change IS HERE AND NOW and is characterized by:
Article continues below this advert:
#On the Sun a generally quieter and magnetically more confused state and slower solar wind.
#Very large amplitude swings in the Jet stream (NH and SH) with the Jet stream average position shifted equator-wards.
#General Cooling especially of temperate zones and simultaneous warm and cold (larger) regions marking different 'ends' of jet stream large amplitude wave effects.
#Very rapid changes in weather particularly in temperate zones
#Rapid changes in standard parameters – NAO, AO etc
#Stark extremes including more giant hail and tornadic developments.
#An increase in major earthquakes and volcanism
Serious limitations of the powers of standard meteorology even 1 or 2 days ahead at times. This was in evidence through most of April and May. These problems will largely continue for at least 25 years and no amount of tweeking standard models or increasing computer power even a thousand fold will overcome it. Standard Meteorology is past it's peak.
SLAT8 is designed to better predict in the approach to the
New Little Ice Age circulation patterns
the world is now in and uses a wider range of look-back weather data (NB we are constantly seeking more) and considers more rapid change options which may need more modification or changes (if rules suggest) of Look-Back maps particularly under potential sudden Jet stream switches and consequent sudden warming or sudden cooling in regions. SLAT 8 will also (as previous SLATs but more effectively) be able to give long range warning of impending errors in standard Meteorology.

Now that May is almost over it is time to look back at the forecasts.
Piers of course forecast a very cold May with a 90% probability of it being in the 5 coldest on record and a 80% probability of it being the coldest on record. The Met Office by contrast forecast a average to slightly warm May.
Up to 30 May the CET anomaly from the excellant Philip Eden site
was +0.2C which is likely to be close to the final figure.
So, the Met Office provided much better guidance.
Of course, Piers will point out that he was doing quite well for the first three weeks and has admitted that his forecast went seriously awry for the last week or so. The 'sudden warming' has he put it was well forecast by NWP models at least a week beforehand as I pointed out.
But, the forecast should be judged on the whole month otherwise it is like giving a gold medal to a pacemaker in a 10km race who happens to be leading at the 7km mark but ends up losing by a lap.

*****Troll alert - comment above*****
As a subscriber
I was very happy with the forecast and as seen from Piers above he openly said when the forecast diverted (note the timing of the change was spot on). Unlike the closed shop of the Met Office, Piers talks to us and it's a group effort to improve the forecasts. Nor does Piers ever claim to be 100% correct. I will continue to be a subscriber. I choose to pay for this fabulous service, by contrast I have no say in government shelling out every time the Met Office want a new super computer to throw even more biased calculations into. I am also quite hacked off that they beg for private funds (jut check their website) and still expect TAX PAYERS to subsidise their substandard, ideologically driven drivel. I don't favour privatisation but I would happily make the Met an exception!
P.S. Any one who starts using CET as the entire basis of criticising Piers May forecast
has not read the forecast
, nor the statements Piers actually made. That is perniciously misleading and possibly libellous.
This type of deliberate trolling behaviour is not accepted at sites such as WUWT (amongst many others). Nor should it be here. I shall no longer feed the troll(s) who congregate here just to throw spanners in the works and make people doubt Piers.
Buy one of his forecasts and make up your own mind
- I did after following him for two years. Don't let other people, especially trolls make your mind up for you.

just rewind back to mid April, what did the Met Office say about the next four weeks, I can tell you what they stated as I posted it at CR, and what did Piers have to say, you can also see that at this site.
Your on the wrong horse and on the wrong site Tom, it is with credit to Piers he got most of that period right and the Met Office got it wrong. Sure the MO can look a few days ahead, you and I can do that, and that's WITHOUT a super computer
But now we seem back to the same pattern of weather for June as we had at the start of May, be it a little warmer as it's JUNE

Posting facts is
Piers chose to go very public with part of his May forecast, this is nothing to do with not reading the paid for forecast.
Whilst he did have the proviso of Central and Eastern parts of the UK, he did state that the CET temperatures he was looking for were 90% probability of </= 9.8C 80% probability </=9.1C.

Here we go again with the Tom and Elim show.
In a previous post "Have Weather Patterns Reverted To Normal - May 24th" I asked a question of Piers as to what had changed. Before he could respond, the Tom and Elim mutual support act were on site singing the praises of the "free" MO forecast (Yes - I do pay tax).
The response given by Piers, in contrast, was detailed, informative and helpful. I will be subsribing to his forecasts in the very near future as my personal understanding increases.
Many thanks Piers

Wouldn't dream of calling you trolls. Ever heard of the Counter-Resistance during the occupation of France? They tried to infiltrate and break up resistance cells.
As Craig M says, Piers is not infallible and I would add that 80% success rate still gives a 20% possibility of failure. This post by Piers is an attempt to address a small number of recent flaws in his forecasts (the general forecast for most of May was right). He says in his post here that he suspects we are now entering a new mini-Ice Age caused by unusual behaviour of the sun, which means he will have to adjust his methods -
that is the main theme of this bloody post!
Do you think that's possible Elim, Tom? - Or are you still convinced that the Globe is warming? That's the important question you should surely be discussing here, otherwise it is just trollery - or counter-resistance.

Craig M - posting a factual assessment is not trolling.
I acknowledge that Piers was a probability forecast and so can not be absolutely right or wrong. Though of course, this does not stop Piers calling probability forecasts from the Met Office wrong. Illogical Captain.
Piers chose to make this forecast of his public so it is only correct that it is assessed. He moderates (censors) postings on his website so I doubt very much as if he will post anything from me.
If you want to spend money on Piers forecasts then that is up to do. Perhaps he can use it to make his website compliant with all relevant legislation.
As for June's weather, the circulation pattern has reverted to a normal pattern for June.

Interesting quote, best to look back on this at the end of June!!

June typically sees a very zonal regime. This year it seems to have happened exceptionally early, more typically it happens between the first and second weeks of the month. In some years of course it doesn't happen at all and we really do get a 'flaming June'.
However, Lamb found that this change in pattern tends to occur in about 70% of years. It is one of his singularities.
It was noted before Lamb. Hence June is often referred to as the European Monsoon, a term first coined in the 1940s.

I think a better name for you would be Philip Eden!
Just out of interest who was the guy who found out about the Earth temp balance in the 19th cent.
His records and analysis from the Pacific area found that when a Low pressure area was replaced by a high, the temps had little or no change in the long term. Clever stuff for the time he proved how the Earth temps remained in check and today we can look at these low's and high's as a switch. Hence the work from Piers and the Sun.
Whoever it was he must be turning in his grave knowing you guys think a trace gas is more powereful then the Sun!!

Craig M said I shouldn't just use the CET to judge Piers May forecast, He has a point so we can now look at the countrywide anomaly maps.
For mean temperature there is only a tiny strip along the north east Scottish coast which is showing a negative anomaly. The bulk of Scotland and Northern England shows no anomaly whilst Northern Ireland and southern England shows a small positive anomaly.
Similar patterns are in the daily max and min temperatures.
In summary, no where near being the coldest May.

GW was very disappointed not to find a clear signal of correlation between sunspots and weather. He was as you say a very interesting man and a great pioneer.

Information about cancer treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, clinical trials, proton therapy, complementary medicine, and cutting edge technologies.
Ways for cancer patients and caregivers to cope with cancer, side effects, nutrition, general cancer support issues, grief/end of life issues, and shared survivor's experiences.
Healthcare Professionals / OncoLink Scientific Meetings Coverage / ASCO / OncoLink at ASCO 1998 / OncoLink at ASCO 1998: Monday May 18
University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center
Last Modified: May 18, 1998
Half of all new cancer cases occur inpeople older than 65, yet a growing body of evidence shows that elderly patients are chronically underrepresented in clinical trials. Moreover, it has been presumed that older patients cannot handle the aggressive chemotherapy used on younger patients, given that concurrent illnesses are common. But because there has been so little data on the effects of standard treatment regimens on older patients, physicians are often forced to make decisions about patient care inthe absence of clear scientific evidence.
The Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG), one of the largest NCI-sponsored cooperative clinical trials groups in the US, found that the proportion of patient over 65 enrolled in SWOG trials was less than half the expected rate. (Researchers analyzed the NCI's national registry of cancer patients, called SEER, and compared number of elderly patients in that registry to the numbers of elderly patients enrolled in their clinical trials.)
In SWOG, the elderly represented only 25% of trial participants, though 63% of patients in the SEER registry were over the age of 65. The study also examined trial enrollment by gender and race, and found that women were underrepresented for only a few types of cancer, and that the overall rate was 41% in SWOG compared to 43% from SEER. African-Americans were enrolled in SWOG clinical trials at rates comparable to those found in SEER (10% each).
This study provides evidence that the elderly are a special patient population which should be considered when designing clinical trials, and that studies to determine the barriers to elderly participation are needed. These findings are also espeically relevant as Americans live longer lives," concluded Dr. Haluska, MD, PhD, of Massachusetts General Hospital.

Men's Volleyball loses CVC opener to UC Santa Cruz
Published: 03/08/2013 |
MILWAUKEE — MSOE fought back to win the second set after dropping the first, but ultimately ran out of steam and lost its 2013 Continental Volleyball Conference opener to UC Santa Cruz, 25-19, 20-25, 25-22 and 25-17, Thursday night at the Kern Center in the first match of the CVC West Division Challenge.
MSOE (3-9, 0-1 CVC) couldn't capitalize on the momentum it gained from a second set where it hit .393 while holding the Banana Slugs to .208 hitting. The Raiders allowed .397 hitting in the last two sets and commited as many errors as they had kills in the fourth and final set, totalling nine of each.
UC Santa Cruz (4-4, 1-0 CVC) was led by the powerful serve and attack of junior Jake Landel, who accumulated 14 kills on .375 hitting. The kill number was second only to senior teammate Salvatore La Cavera and MSOE's Brian Main (Sr./Lamar, Mo./ME), who each had 15.
The first set was fairly even until UCSC went on a 7-1 run to turn a 16-16 tie into a 23-17 advantage. Two of Landel's match-high three aces came during the stretch.
Landel's third ace came in the second set to give UCSC a 19-16 lead, but his subsequent service error would be the start of a 7-0 MSOE run that included two aces for Josh Avery (Jr./Bolingbrook, Ill./SE).
The momentum swung back-and-forth in the third set as the Banana Slugs staked claim to a 14-10 lead, only to see it erased as MSOE took six of the next seven points. The tide of the entire match turned, though, when UCSC broke a 17-17 tie with a Landel kill, then saw MSOE bookend a timeout with errors to make it 20-17. The Raiders would get no closer than two points again before losing the set. The Banana Slugs avoided many of the same errors, hitting .400 in the third.
The Raiders were unable to recover from their third-set missteps in the fourth. Already down 18-15, MSOE committed three errors in a five-point UCSC run that all but decided the match.
The match was the first of the seven-match weekend Challenge, which sees Carthage and Fontbonne join the action tomorrow. The Banana Slugs play their second match of the Challenge against Carthage to start the evening at 4 p.m. CDT, while MSOE tries to bounce back from tonight's loss against Fontbonne at 6 p.m. The Griffins will then stay on the court to face Carthage at 8 p.m. Tickets will be good for all three matches and are available at the Kern Center Box Office. Live stats will be available for the games through this link while the MSOE match will also be broadcast with streaming video and Dan Pfeifer on the call at this link.

Comments about COLEMAN 1/2-Gallon Jug:
It does what you would expect, as in it holds liquid, and keeps it Cold/Warm, but it fails in one regard; the spout does not seal when closed.as long as the bottle stays in the upright position, everything is hunky dory, but if it ends up on its side, expect a puddle.I found this out the hard way. the backseat of my car was turned into an Iced Tea pond, and that's gotta be good for the leather.Tightening is not the issue, as it leaks from the spout, when it's in the closed position.I returned it, and tried 3 others, with the same results.For the price, it's a good buy, as long as you keep it in the locked and upright position.

The International Financial Flows and Environment Project (IFFE) works to improve the environmental and social decision making and performance of public and private International Financial Institutions (IFIs) by holding them accountable to their investors, to donor countries and to the communities that are impacted by their investments.
Successful solutions to serious global challenges, such as combating climate change and protecting human rights, cannot be divorced from the issue of financing. International Financial Institutions (IFIs) are in a unique position; they can continue to drive investments in a conventional "business as usual" manner or they can take an alternative approach and raise environmental and social standards through their lending practices.
- Resources on Climate Finance
- Resources on Emerging Actors in Development Finance
The role of public and private IFIs in development finance has greatly evolved over the past two decades. In 1992, public financial flows were greater than private financial flows; however, by 1996, private financial flows were more than 5 times larger (Ganzi et. al, 1998). As this trend continued through the late 1990's and into the 2000's, a fundamental need arose for greater transparency and public participation in policy surrounding IFI investments. Since 1997, IFFE, the World Resources Institute's Sustainable Finance Initiative, has been leveraging WRI expertise in biodiversity, climate change, energy, and governance to shape the environmental and social policies of IFIs.
In this new era of financial turmoil, IFFE continues to be a cornerstone of WRI's work to improve the social and environmental performance of public and private IFIs. The recent collapse of the financial markets has raised serious concerns about the transparency, accountability and regulation of these financial institutions. Global climate change has also come to the fore, spurning global action. The international community is formulating a coordinated response to the conjoined crises facing the global financial system and the global climate system. In this context, the public IFIs, including the International Monetary Fund and the Multilateral Development Banks, are emerging with renewed relevance. With private capital stalled, the world's major economies are preparing to inject trillions of dollars of public money into the global economy through increased funding for public IFIs and support for trade finance. The IFFE project has adapted to this new reality and remains engaged on issues around reforms in the governance of IFIs.
IFFE seeks to integrate environmental and social considerations into the operations of public and private IFIs as they extend support to their developing country and private sector clients in key sectors, such as energy and extractives.
Our strategy is twofold: we target our research and analysis at IFI decision makers to influence and improve environmental and social policies, while providing tools to implement these policies on the ground. At the same time, we partner with civil society organizations from around the world to support communities who are affected by international investments and project development. Finally, we share our research and analysis with our partners to inform action on the ground and to ensure that their voices are heard.
We focus our efforts on banks that shape international environmental and social policies and norms for public and private sector investment. Our current research, analysis, and engagement strategies target a subset of IFIs including:
- Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs)
- Private "Equator Principle" Financial Institutions (EPFIs) that have agreed to apply environmental and social safeguards to project finance
- Export Credit Agencies (ECAs).

I can't wait til we do our annual projections/predictions of our Pistons for this year... Last season...they were 30-52 for a .366 winning percent. Works out to a 24-41 record for our 65 game schedule this season........ Can't wait for our usual cluster of high predictions... All of you Stuckey fans must figure on at least 30 wins............
You have some guards that will get consistent points averaging in the teens on a consistent basis. I figure that it will take nearly 50 points out of our front line to win the close games...which we do not have. It will take athleticism and rebounding from the 3,4 and 5 spots. It is not there. Only Tay will stay consistent and force the defense to collapse toward him. The rest of his companions will bomb away. JJ's jump shot is horrible and I doubt that his front toes leave the ground. Watching CV attempting any dexterity with lateral movement is as frightening as watch BenW shooting free throws. I could go on and on.
I'd like Stuckey to average 18 and 7 this season......... I think at 8 million per season...he can make the others around him play better. Better passing, ball control, and leadership should do it............ Our front court got us 60 points per game last season........ Prince: 14 CV: 11 Monroe: 8 Daye: 7.4 Wilcox: 7.4 Three headed monster......... Maxiel, Summers, Wallace: 10 Guards got us 36 points per game......... I think it's on the guards to step it up.................
I think almost the same way.. I think 6 - 7 per year would been a great deal. 8/yr it's fine too.. AT LEAST will be stuck on Stuckey only 3 seasons and not 5.
8 million a year for a tweener guard no one else wanted. Wonderful. I hope Frank doesn't make him the starting PG; that ship has sailed and run aground enough times for me to know it's not gonna get where everyone hoped it would four years ago. Playing him at the SG position should be better, at least on D, unless he shows he can shoot, although...after 4 years with zero improvement? I wouldn't bet on it. Bright side: it's only 3 years...
That's the think - no one else wanted him. Not a single bid. We should have just let him play out the year and see what we have but Dumars just had to "lock him in". I also hope that we do not have to suffer more of Stuckey at the point. Took Q 2 years to figure that out. I have never seen a GM so intent on bringing back a losing team before.
Some Rodney Stuckey quotes along with some read between the lines translations. Translation: It was the other guys holding me back. You want to blame someone blame Rahseed Wallace, Dyess, Chauncey Billups and Rip. I'm not far from dribbling with my head up and I shot 36% from outside of 10 feet! Translation: Can you believe he talks to me the same way he talks to everyone else? I'm gonna have to talk to Uncle Joe before I start having hearing problems again during timeouts. Translation: They need to adapt to me, it is not the other way around. http://detroitnews.com/article/2011...orts0102/Pistons-sign-Stuckey-3-year-25M-deal
Every player on the roster besides Monroe hatred playing for Kuester, so it really is not fair to single out stuckey. This is the first stable and quality coach he's played for. He's 25 years old and he's clearly a better player than Stackhouse used to be for us(high production, totally a slasher, not a consistent outside shooter, and lousy as a distributor with high turnovers.) Stuckey brings everything stackhouse used to, but is a great ballhandler , much better passer and defender, and a low turnover guy. Pretending stuckey isn't a very good player and really talented is pretty nuts. The real question is how stuckey wil mesh with our present and future core. Is a slasher at SG what we want going forward, our do we want a great outside shooter to fit with Knight, a great shooter and penetratrator and real PG, and monroe, a great passing center?
The only way this makes sense to me is that you're saying Stuckey has been pretending to play bad during his career so far......... Seriously though.......how many wins do you see for the Pistons this season? I know you said wins aren't important, but you still can make an estimate of victories. I've laid out some information in previous posts to help you. Since you are a big fan of Stuckey...I know you're happy to have him, so it makes me wonder...how do you see this season playing out?
He had an 18.57% PER last season, playing on A roster where nobody on offense had a good season. C'mon seriously its crazy to claim he didn't have a good year statistically.
The way they've been playing these past two years, I'd rather have Stuckey as the starting SG than Gordon.
Jerry Stackhouse the Piston lead the league in points scored, and had the second highest scoring average at 29.8 per game and still dished out over 5 assists. Of course, that same season, the Pistons only won 32 games, so that part is similar. Stuckey is a good player, but I don't think he's a great player. The Pistons just paid hijm great player money.
great player money is over $10-11 mil a year to me. imo getting him for just north of $8 million is completely fair for the kind of player he is
maybe it's the economist in me speaking - but the value is determined by the market. And I don't think that there was any time willing to pay him the amount of money he got now? So why pay him that?
Tough to say because we do not know what 8 mil means yet under this new CBA. Under the old one agree 8 mil is fair but the player share of BRI shrank by 7% plus its going to be a lot stricter. Who knows what the cap may be next year after the lockout, still a lot of disgruntled fans.
well that's tough to gauge because he was a restricted free agent and joe made it pretty clear that he'd match any offer that wasn't completely outrageous. if he was unrestricted i think someone would have offered him at least 7
I guess. I just checked some NBA salaries and 8 to 9 million dollars a year right now could get you: Devin Harris, Rajon Rondo, Lamar Odom, Jameer Nelson, Louis Scola, Jason Kidd, or Stephen Jackson. Maybe it's just me, but I would rather watch SJax chuck up bad threes than watch Stuckey rack up offensive fouls.
wow, that makes Stuckey instantly overpaid, he's not in the same league with any of the above-mentioned.

To Whom It May Concern:
I purchased a new board in December for my son. After a few days of surfing the board split in two pieces?
Is there a problem with the quality or manufacturing process of these boards?
I find it annoying that my son can not get any interaction from the dealer or FireWire customer service?
Is it customary in California to sell products and not support them?
I would think that your image as a surfboard manufacturer would at least compel you to investigate if your board had a flaw?
Very disappointed with your quality but more so with your lack of supporting your product.
Is there a regional manager in the San Diego area?

Hi Cutie,
Well done - I very much appreciate your summary of becoming an Elvis fan and all the different emotions that you have experienced in getting there...nicely written.
The different discussions on this board have been fascinating, especially in the past few days! I've been doing some "research" on other sites, and there is an entire universe out there about Elvis--all sorts of stuff--regular fan sites, stores, and the esoteric, such as religion, alien abductions, conspiracy theories, etc. It boggles the mind!
I can't think of another person who can generate this much ... stuff (sorry, my vocabulary a little short today). This is especially in light of the fact that Elvis has been gone for almost 30 years, when people my age have never seen him live, aside from DVDs, and have become new fans.
What is it about Elvis?
It is easy to admire Elvis when he was young, charismatic, and handsome, but who else could become more endearing after an emotional and physical decline?
There must have been other likeable "stars" who had similar backgrounds, but don't produce the love, respect, and admiration as Elvis had acheived(and still does).
The only other person who came close, in my opinion, was Princess Diana, but even she is beginning to fade away.
I admit that when I first started to dabble in Elvis info, I was quite adamant in only focusing on the 1950s. I thought it would be too "yucky" to read or look at pictures from the 70s. The enduring image I had of Elvis were the mean-spirited parodies of him on TV, etc. On top of that, I thought "Elvis fans" were strange--again, the only exposure I had was from watching people of TV ridiculing the fans.
Now, though, after reading, listening, and looking at all kinds of Elvis stuff, I feel so lucky to have "discovered" him for myself. I used to avoid the end of Elvis' biographies, when they talk about his final years--physical and emotional decline, etc., or not looking at anything from the 70s because it did not match the "perfect" image from the 50s. Instead, all his problems have made him so much more endearing.
So now I count myself as an Elvis fan--and proud of it!
What do you think?
Hi Cutie,
Well done - I very much appreciate your summary of becoming an Elvis fan and all the different emotions that you have experienced in getting there...nicely written.
I think the longer we are Elvis fans, the more we learn....there is always someone that is just becoming a fan, and they always bring a new perspective on what it is to be an Elvis fan. I find that I learn something new every day, even if it's just snippet of a song that I may have missed, or a look Elvis has on his face during a televised concert or documentary. Songs that I may have dismissed in the past I will now listen to carefully, songs that I listen to frequently and have seen performed like 'Can't Help Falling In Love' at the Aloha concert, you know the absolute second, when just listening, that the cape went flying out to the audience. Because my favourite song is Just Pretend, (well, some people don't know that ) I can sit here at my work station and have the song playing in the background, and I am able to visualise every movement Elvis makes during that song.....great stuff.... Elvis 'kept singing the songs' and we keep listening to them....thank goodness there was an Elvis Aron Presley.....
"Walk A Block In My Socks"
Thank you for your thoughtful reply Carolyn! I wish Elvis were still alive--it would have been nice to have seen a show "live"! I'll bet he would pack the stadiums even today.
I guess I had been wondering "Why Elvis" -- why not Tom JOnes, or even the Beatles--not to offend any Beatles fans, but they sound and look very dated. I won't even go into the current music people! Elvis, in life and death transcended everything. I'm still trying to get a handle on that, but when I write about it, it often comes across as a bit dippy!!
It seems that Elvis himself asked that same question many times....'Why me?'....so if he didn't know the answer, how are us mere mortals going to figure it out....
"Walk A Block In My Socks"
It's so cool to read that Elvis is very much alive - not in the sense of physically present, but of a spiritual importance. It's indeed true that there are esoteric websites with Elvis as the leading theme!
This is particularly interesting:
This website compares Elvis to Greek statues - there's a resemblance indeed. Elvis looks somewhat like Pericles, Dionysos and Apollo. Interestingly enough, Apollo was not only the god of light and healing practice but also of.. music..!
Dionysos was well known as the vegetation God, who is to be drunk because of wine. The Greeks liked to drink wine at their gatherings and to play music to make the party complete. There's definitely a link - Elvis the extatic sings and plays guitar!
There's also a link between Jesus and Dionysos - not only because the names sound similair, but also because of Jesus sharing the wine with his disciples (the same way Dionysos was a wine god). Of course, Elvis is very often seen as a messianic or Christ-like figure. It could be said that Elvis had pharaoh-like capabilities...!
In the 20th century, there is no one who can compare to Elvis. Of course there were other fine musicians in that century, but Elvis was special because he changed everything - sexually, politically and racially. Bernstein is right in his statement that Elvis was the leading cultural force in the 20th century (and continues to be so in the 21th).
The link I gave to the 'esoteric website' may be interesting or not. I don't know if I or other people will agree with everything which is to be read there, but it shows once again the spiritual significance of Elvis.

Hi Sandra, in reply to your why Elvis, it started in the fifties when teenagers were considered wild and had to be repressed. For us girls especially when were expected to walk, not run, smile, not laugh out loud etc. Just to look and listen to him made us happy and gave us a place finally to vent our emotions. I wonder how many of us would have been basket cases without him?
Because of his looks, personality and immense talent, he did that for all his fans his whole career so we loved him! Make sense????
Thank you Diane and EnigmaticSun for your thought-provoking responses! I've looked at the lighted candle website--it is quite fascinating how culturally pervasive Elvis has become.Originally Posted by Diane
It is this pervasiveness that boggles my mind--I agree that there is no doubt that Elvis was a pioneer who revolutionized modern culture through music. There have been other artists who were near Elvis' realm of popularity in the 50s and 60s, but people like Ricky Nelson, Paul McCartney, etc., have not become cultural icons the way Elvis has.
There have also been other artists who had fallen, personally and/or professionally--Jim MOrrison comes to mind--or someone else who has been gleefully torn down by the media and fans (I'm no fan, but Michael Jackson is sorta an example) due to his popularity, would never recover, let alone be loved more for it. Case in point: I thought I would be offended from reading about Elvis' many, many, many concurrent girlfriends, but strangely, I find it acceptable--but only in Elvis' case!
When did Jim Morrison die? Does he have the following that comes close to Elvis'? I don't want to offend, but the aspect of endearment is not somthing that is conjured up when I think about John Lennon, for example, and he was more "global" when he was alive, and had worked towards socio-political-cultural issues.
I guess I'm trying to understand how *I* got into all this! I have never been one to obsess over the concept of "celebrity," and I'm about as far away from even getting any exposure to his music as I can think of. Yet I find myself really drawn to Elvis' music, biography, pictures, etc. What amazes me is that I've become more interested in his music from 1968 through the end--a surprise, since I was determined to only listen to the "classics."
Elvis--the star, icon, king, and human being--had "it", whatever "it" is--and gaining new fans so long after he's been gone. Talk about life after death!
Thank you for listening!
Well what happens ofthen when I try to descripe the "elvis"feeling, my knowledge of the English runs short. But I cant explain exactly what it is. Of course it is his huge talent, out going personality, humor, looks, his diverse interests and so on. Maybe it is all this combined and then there is the x-factor. Another thought is that he made so many music, played so many different kind of songs, there is something for everybody and from that point you start to discover the 'whole'Elvis. Well just a thought
without a song, a man ain't got a friend,
without a song, the road would never bend,
without a song, so I'll keep singing the song.
A little more food for thought Sandra. Did the other artists you mentioned, Jim Morrison, Ricky Nelson, Michael Jackson and I'm adding John Lennon, ever have that smile and look of sheer caring for their fans and I mean making fans feel it individually and personally like Elvis did? Another thing was that he let you see him through the image. I can't think of a single other artist that had that quality.
Thank you for the perspectives! I'm still amazed that Elvis lives on, and can still produce new fans! If only current artists can emulate him, there would be something new to listen to!
Elvis is a good example of how people should be: generous, sweet, loving... His charisma and marvelous voice have inspired us (well, specially me) to become better persons. Elvis changed part of the (world?) culture. I guess that's why(plus many other reasons) he is such an important icon.
Let the stars fade and fall, and I won't care at all, as long as I have you.
"You've got it all together like a lovin' machine
You're lookin' like glory and walkin' like a dream...
Mother nature's sure been good to Y-O-U"
Just to add a bit, Elvis represented so many things. He could look like an angel one minute, a bad-*** the next. We all know he loved God and was deeply religious, yet he loved guns, mortorcyles and was a daredevil at heart. To quote Kid Rock, "there's a bit of Elvis in all of us". He was a fascinating human being who in his 42 years lived enough for three lifetimes.
Nicely summarized, Joe!
"I oughta break you in half!"...
"If you do, you'll have two very short friends!"
Elvis Will All Ways Stand The Test Of Time He Is Just So Great
With so many replies It's hard to add something that really cuts wood but I will try. At first I was just a fan (I became a fan in 1971) but as I grew up I discovered there was more. My whole growth as a human being is connected with Elvis. Not only musically but also in my search to life's questions, to become a better human being. Elvis showed me to be vulnarable, to be open at all times without being scared to get hurt because that's all part of life. He was open and vulnarable although a lot of people stated he was ver closed. But look at "Aloha", you can see the man's struggle, he's fighting a battle inside and a part of that could be heard in the songs and another part could be seen in his eyes.
The fact that he was imperfect and didn't hide it made him perfect. We owe a lot to him, I owe a lot to him...Life!
Boy this was a beaut wasn't it? I think Leroy summed it up best. My closing response to this is that one of the things Elvis taught us is when you give a lot you get a lot.
Elvis Will Be Remembered For Ever He Is A Great Talent The Man Could Sure Sing Thats What He Will Be Remembered For He Will Be Up There With Mozart 100 Yrs From Being Remembered For His Great Music
I remember one time when I was 7 years old and upstairs in my home and the TV was on downstairs and I heard the opening vamp and I ran down the stairs and got to that tv as fast as I could before Elvis started to sing, no other entertainer has ever been able to draw me to them with their voice, I think that's amazing.
Something else that amazes me is how the fans in the audience at his concert would each send their love to him and then he would sent his love back to them but not collectively, he sent his love back individually to each person in the audience, he had so much love inside of him
He always remembered where he came from and he never took his fans for granted. He gave so much to his fans IMO more than any other entertainer has, cos he let his fans close to him, he always made time for his fans, each show he put on he wanted it to be perfect, he really cared, he wanted his fans to enjoy his show, he had depth to him.
You ask how long I love you, I'll tell you true,
until the Twelfth of Never, I'll still be loving you
when you can be inside Wembley/O2 etc....with 10,000+ people.......and feel the love and excitement this concert generates......it's phenomenal for a man who's not even there.........
They use the word 'Icon' so loosely these days.........but he will always be THE' Icon.........
"NO-ONE, BUT NO-ONE,IS HIS EQUAL, OR EVER WILL BE. HE WAS, AND IS SUPREME".Mick Jagger

The Kennedy-Nixon Debates: Game Changers
It's been five long decades since the first televised presidential debates in American history, but the four TV showdowns between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy in the fall of 1960 still hold a prominent — and deserved — place in United States political lore.
The details of the debates have been recounted innumerable times in the subsequent decades, with every hand gesture, every utterance and every close-up dissected and weighed for its significance. The stories, meanwhile, of how Nixon showed up to the very first debate looking pale and glistening with sweat beneath the glare of the studio lights, while JFK looked (literally) tanned and rested, haven't lost any of their power simply because they're true.
Nixon, after all, did look like death warmed over; Kennedy did look like a movie star. And while pundits and armchair historians like to assert that Kennedy's media savvy won him the election while Nixon won the debates, it's virtually impossible to unearth any raw data that positively proves either point.
The fact is, both men were formidable candidates. Each had a strong grasp of the major issues facing the country — the Space Race with the Soviets; America's role in an increasingly complex global economy; the Civil Right Movement — and each man had very little trouble articulating his and his party's position on any and all subjects that would bear on the daily lives of average Americans.
In the end, the four debates in 1960 did offer the nation a good, long look at two very different candidates, with two distinct visions for America's future. It's remarkable now, however, to recall that Nixon was just four years older than Kennedy: by the look of the two men in the photographs in this gallery, and certainly in the eyes of the tens of millions of people who tuned in to watch them debate, they might as well have been from entirely different generations.
The 1960 campaign for the White House is often called the first "modern" presidential election. All these years later, one would be hard-pressed to find another element of the entire race that feels more familiar than the image of a candidate standing at a lectern, trying with every ounce of his not inconsiderable political skill to connect with the vast, mysterious, invisible electorate out there, watching and listening, somewhere on the other side of that television camera's unblinking, unforgiving lens.

Black Sabbath Tickets
One of the most critically acclaimed heavy metal bands in the world, Black Sabbath have been entertaining hard rock fans since their birth in 1969. During their first ten years, the group successfully sold more than eight million albums and were subsequently nominated seven times for a place in the UK Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, before they entered it in 2005. Black Sabbath spent much of the early 1970s on the road in the US playing their hit album Paranoid, which features classics like War Pigs and Iron Man. The band reunited more recently for the 2004 and 2005 Ozzfest shows, founded by Sabbath vocalist Ozzy Osbourne and his family.
