For some unknown reason, I suddenly decided to give WordPress a try. However, I will not abandon my original blog on Blogger just yet. Until I decide which of them I will continue to use, I will be posting to both of them at the same time. So please feel free to visit either of them, and let me know in the comments if you think one of two services is particularly better than the other (based on personal experience).

In order to become an ophthalmic assistant, you'll need to have completed an opthalmic certification program and earned a certificate of completion. As an assistant you'll test patients' eyes under an opthalmologist's supervision.
Essential Information
Ophthalmic assistants test and measure patients' eyes under the supervision of ophthalmologists. Assistants also perform various clerical duties and may prepare testing tools and equipment for ophthalmologists. These professionals often complete ophthalmic certificate or degree programs prior to employment.
|Required Education
|Completion of ophthalmic certificate or degree program typically preferred
|Other Requirements
|Ophthalmic certification may enhance career prospects
|Projected Job Growth (2018-2028)*
|23% for all medical assistants
|Mean Salary (2018)*
|$34,540 for all medical assistants
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Ophthalmic Assistant Education Requirements
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that medical assistants, including ophthalmic assistants, often learn their duties on-site from more experienced staff members; however, many employers prefer applicants who have completed accredited training programs (www.bls.gov). Students may choose to complete ophthalmic technician training or ophthalmic assistant programs at the diploma, certificate or associate's degree levels.
Ophthalmic coursework includes ocular anatomy and physiology, diagnostic testing, contact lenses, ophthalmic procedures and ocular surgery assistance. Many programs also teach students about psychology, healthcare law and medical office management techniques. These programs require students to complete supervised clinical hours in which they practice ophthalmic techniques and procedures on real patients.
According to the BLS, medical assistants, including ophthalmic assistants, are not required to obtain certification; however, workers can voluntarily pursue certification as a means to improve their chances of finding employment. Nationally recognized certifying boards, such as the Joint Commission on Allied Health Personnel in Ophthalmology (JCAHPO), provide certification programs for ophthalmology workers.
The JCAHPO offers three levels of certification for ophthalmology workers (www.jcahpo.org). Entry-level workers often start out by obtaining the Certified Ophthalmic Assistant (COA) credential. To meet eligibility requirements to take the COA exam, applicants must either complete approved ophthalmology coursework or accrue valid work experience. After passing the certification exam, workers must keep their credential active by participating in continued education coursework.
Ophthalmic Assistant Career Info
Working with licensed ophthalmologists, ophthalmic assistants provide clinical and clerical support in the diagnosis and treatment of eye dysfunctions. Many assistants conduct eye tests on patients, especially tests that measure the functionality of eye muscles. Assistants record the results from all tests and submit notes to ophthalmologists. Ophthalmic assistants also teach patients how to administer specialized eye-care medications.
On the clerical side, ophthalmic assistants often set up appointments for patients. Assistants also input patient medical information. Some assistants correspond with vendors, such as contact lens distributors. During doctors' exams with patients, ophthalmic assistants may sit in during the examination to transcribe the doctor's notes.
Employment Outlook and Salary Information
The BLS predicted that open positions for medical assistants, which include ophthalmic assistants, would increase by 23% in the decade of 2018-2028. Available jobs in the medical assistance industry are expected to grow quickly due to a steadily growing population requiring more medical care. According to May 2018 reports from the BLS, medical assistants, including ophthalmic assistants, made an average salary of $34,540 per year.
Opthalmic assistants must be observant, knowledgeable about the eyes and able to work closely with not only opthamologists but patients as well. The medical industry is full of opportunities for aspiring opthalmic assistants, with an overall job growth rate for all related medical assistants at 23% over the next decade.

Pay-As-You-ThrowThe Solution To The Trash Problem
WasteZero helps cities and towns across the US dramatically cut their trash, increase recycling, save money, and help the environment. We do this by designing and managing pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) programs.
We have worked with all types of PAYT. We are a national leader in tag-based pay-as-you-throw programs, we've worked with numerous variable rate cart programs, and we are the nation's leader in bag-based PAYT systems. Time and again our experience has shown that bag-based systems are the most effective.
Our comprehensive approach to bag-based PAYT is called WasteZero Trash Metering®.
How WasteZero Trash Metering® Works
We enable cities and towns to charge residents for trash services based on the amount of trash residents throw away.
Today, people typically pay for trash collection and disposal through a flat fee. With our programs, cities typically reduce or eliminate flat fees and replace them with variable pricing.
People who throw away more pay more, while people who throw away less pay less.
When it's paired with free recycling services, PAYT simply and effectively aligns the incentives for everybody to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Metering Trash with Trash Bags
Our programs use brightly colored, custom-designed trash bags as the way to "meter" trash. Here's how:
- Residents must dispose of their trash only in the official trash bags, which they purchase at local retail stores.
- The bags usually cost $1 to $2 (depending on size), which covers the cost of the bag, as well as the collection and disposal of trash.
- Money collected from the sale of the official trash bags is delivered to the local government, which uses it to provide trash service.
- The bags are a distinctive color, printed with the city artwork or seal, and easily identified by collection workers.
- Residents are motivated to throw away less and recycle more because they can see—and control—what they are paying for trash removal.

Born September 29, 1909 in Bisbee, Arizona, Mitchell John (Mike) Frankovich was one of four children of immigrant Yugoslavians Yova and Melica Frankovich. When the children were small, the Frankovich family left the copper-mining town of Bisbee en route to California but stopped in Tonopah, Nevada, for several years after the elder Frankovich won its casino in a card game. They moved on to Long Beach, California, where he owned a fishing fleet. After Yova Frankovich abandoned the family, his wife moved to Los Angeles, where Mike and a brother excelled in high school football, gaining scholarships to the University of California, Los Angeles, on the recommendation of actor Joe E. Brown (Some Like It Hot). While attending UCLA, Frankovich parked cars, planted geraniums and dug ditches to support himself. He began producing radio shows in 1934 during his years as a sports announcer. He also acted in films in uncredited roles from 1935. He got further into the film business by writing screenplays for Universal and Republic Pictures in the late 1930s.
Frankovich was briefly married to first wife Georgiana Feagans from January 1938 to September 1940. The day after their divorce was granted, he married British actress Binnie Barnes to whom he would adopt four children, remaining married until his death. He then served in the Army Air Corps during World War II, earning the rank of colonel. Multilingual, he resumed his work in films in Europe after the war, and soon became a director and executive for Columbia's British operation.
With the success of 1955's Footsteps in the Fog, Frankovich's profile rose and he eventually became production chief for Columbia, moving back to Hollywood in 1963. There he oversaw development of such films as Cat Ballou with Jane Fonda and Lee Marvin, the fact-based In Cold Blood and A Man for All Seasons,To Sir with Love with Sidney Poitier and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner in which Poitier co-starred with Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn.
Frankovich gave up his title as first vice president in charge of world production at Columbia in 1967 to become an independent producer. Among the films he then produced were Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, Marooned, Cactus Flower, There's a Girl in My Soup, Butterflies Are Free, 40 Carats and John Wayne's final film, The Shootist.
As a state-appointed member and president of the Los Angeles Coliseum Commission in the early 1980s, Frankovich helped to bring the Raiders football team to Los Angeles. He also helped negotiate use of the Coliseum as the main venue for the 1984 Olympics.
In 1984, at the 1983 Oscar ceremony, AMPAS gave him its Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in recognition of his "varied and extensive record of humanitarian activities."
Mike Frankovich died on New Year's Day 1992 of complications from pneumonia while suffering from Alzheimer's Disease. He was 82.
FOOTSTEPS IN THE FOG (1955), directed by Arthur Lubin
Frankovich's most successful British production in the years when he was the head of Columbia's British operation was in the mode of Gaslight, The Lodger, Hangover Square and The Picture of Dorian Gray, that were international successes for other studios a decade earlier, Set in Edwardian England, the film starred Stewart Granger as a not as clever as he thinks murderer and Jean Simmons as the Cockney maid who blackmails him. Bill Travers, Belinda Lee, Ronald Squire, Finlay Currie and Marjorie Rhodes led an outstanding supporting cast.
BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE (1969), directed by Paul Mazursky
This wife-swapping comedy was Frankovich's first film as an independent producer and his only controversial film in a long line of what he called wholesome films. Natalie Wood, having declined an offer for a percentage of the profit with West Side Story wisely chose to accept a similar offer here and made $3 million. Awards recognition, however, went to co-stars Elliot Gould and Dyan Cannon, who received Oscar nominations for their performances, Cannon also receiving the first N.Y. Film Critics prize for Best Supporting Actress. Robert Culpo co-starred as Wood's husband.
CACTUS FLOWER (1969), directed by Gene Saks
A Broadway triumph for Lauren Bacall became a movie triumph for Ingrid Bergman in her first Hollywood film since the 1940s as the nurse who pretends to be the wife of the unmarried dentist she works for in-order-to keep his latest girlfriend at bay. Walter Matthau played the dentist created on Broadway by Barry Nelson and Goldie Hawn won an Oscar as the girlfriend in the role created on Broadway by Brenda Vaccaro who earned a Tony nomination for her performance. Berman received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress – Comedy or Musical for her performance.
BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE (1972), directed by Milton Katselas
Eileen Heckart lost the Tony for her portrayal of the overprotective mother in the Broadway version to co-star Blythe Danner but won the Oscar in support of Goldie Hawn in Danner's role of the kookie actress and Edward Albert in the role of her blind son created on Broadway by Keir Dullea. Seventeen people connected with the film including Frankovich, Katselas and Albert reunited for the following year's 40 Carats which also starred Liv Ullmann, Gene Kelly and Francovich's wife Binnie Barnes who all but stole the film in her last role as Ullmann's mother.
THE SHOOTIST (1976), directed by Don Siegel
Contrary to popular belief, John Wayne did not have terminal cancer when making the film as his character did. He was cured of cancer in 1964 but the disease returned in 1979, ultimately killing him. The film was not intended to be Wayne's last, but that was what it turned out to be, making it one of the most poignant of final films along with those of Clark Gable in The Misfits and Henry Fonda in On Golden Pond. Lauren Bacall, Richard Boone, John Carradine and James Stewart who plays a cameo as the doctor who gives Wayne the bad news, were all cast at Wayne's request.
- Honorary Award (1983) – Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award

The last 20 years have seen nationwide and regional pharmacy chains consolidating into big-box operations, and other retailers and grocery chains have jumped into the fray. Plus, the number of independent pharmacists operating in Delaware increased to 20 last year, as reported by Delaware Online.
All of the operations have grown into more than just a place to have a prescription filled. They offer services from health monitoring to preventive checkups. Considering the array of consumer choices, it's time to put thought into where you take your next prescription.
Some insurance companies restrict subscribers to certain pharmacies or mail-order operations, but many give their customers a healthy choice of participating pharmacies.
While the convenience of a pharmacy's location is often a driving factor, here are seven points to consider when deciding where to fill your next prescription, according to Pharmacy Proud, an organization representing independent pharmacists, and pharmacists interviewed by Delaware Online.
Seven tips for picking a pharmacy
- Is the pharmacist helpful? Ideally, find a pharmacy where you can build a relationship with the pharmacists. They can tell you how to use your medication, the side effects, and if it's safe to take with your other medications.
- Can it deliver? While you consider where a pharmacy is located, see if it provides free delivery. That alone could tip the scales.
- How long is the wait? Consumer Reports surveys show you're less likely to wait for a prescription at an independent pharmacy than at a big-box chain. Perhaps there's less incentive to keep you waiting — and browsing the aisles — because prescription medication sales account for about 95 percent of the average independent's revenue.
- Does it offer health care? Many pharmacies offer everything from a standard flu shot and a full slate of vaccinations to physicals and other medical care. These offerings could save you a trip to the doctor's office and could be cheaper.
- Can it make it just for you? Some pharmacies offer compounding services for human and animal medicines. Compounding pharmacies perform services such as customizing a medicine's strength or dosage, adding flavoring, and reformulating to eliminate an allergenic substance for a patient.
- Can it help at 3 a.m.? Check the pharmacy's operating hours to see if it offers 24/7 emergency service with an on-call pharmacist.
- What's the rewards program? Every retailer seems to operate a loyalty program, and pharmacies are no different. Whether it offers discounts on health-related supplies or points toward free gas, see which pharmacy rewards program best helps your lifestyle.

The man that start it all! Not dubstep but brostep. Yes, Rusko the man responsible for dubstep subgenre brostep is back with his sophomore album Songs. It's nice that he's actually distancing his self from the monster he created as Songs shows more variety and multiple facets to his production.
The first single from Songs is Somebody To Love, a track that pay heavy tribute to the hey day of rave with its melodic piano riffs and diva vocal before dropping into some wobbly bassline. Pressure is another outstanding tune with its major chords creating happy vibe and something that brings back the UK Garage era in the early noughties. In Opium he goes with epic trance like intro a la Magnetic man then proceed to bring back his trademark bass and switched it up to 4-4 goodness in the middle. Thunder is a surprise since its basically a straight up 4-4 big room number with epic chords build-up similar to Swedish House Mafia with an added twist. Instead of your standard 4-4 beats where the snare falls in 2nd and 4th beat, he opted with half time where the snare lands in 3rd and 7th beat. Reggae/dub influence are also present in the form of Mek More Green, Skanker, Love No More and Roll Da Beats. Asda Car Park represent the one and only tune that somewhat resembles brostep. M357 a droning down tempo track close out the album.
Overall, Songs is a solid album with excellent mixes of styles and sounds. It's much more well rounded album when compared to his debut effort O.M.G. It also showcases Rusko's progression as producer and reminded us why he is one of the premier dubstep artist today. I think it's great that this album is being released in Diplo's label Mad Decent which is an American label because it will show the American public out there that dubstep is not just Skrillex
Rating: 4.5/5
Rusko – Somebody To Love

- How did you feel about getting the book messed up?
- Introduction: "We're going to take about ways to take care of your book. I have a special box here called the No-No-Never & the Yes-Yes-Always. I'm hoping you can help me out. I'm going to pull one item from the box. You are to tell me if you think it should NEVER be around a book or YES it is OK to use around a book. Do you think you can help me with that? "yes" Ok, our phrases we're going to say are "No-No-Never" or "Yes-Yes-Always."
Anticipatory Set:
No-No-Never & Yes-Yes-Always Box:
- Decorate a box with a lid & name it the No-No-Never & Yes-Yes-Always Box.
- Place items that represent things that can damage books & keep the book safe inside the box. Ex: liquids, food, writing utensils, pets/crayon/pencil/marker, a pop can/juice box/water bottle, candy bar/ plastic food, a stuffed dog (pets), a baby doll (baby brothers and sisters), a shoe (reminding kids books should not be stepped on), scissors, stickers, plastic bag, hand sanitizer (both good & bad), shelf marker, book mark, etc.
- Pull out one item at a time from the box & ask students why that item is Ok to be around the book or if it might damage the book. After students answer, get the students to say together, "No, no, never!" or "Yes,Yes,Always!"
- Discuss how to take care of books by using the examples above.
- Ask who repairs the books if they are damaged. Create a book doctor name badge to wear.
Instruction/Check for Understanding:
- Observe the students for participation in group discussion of items in the box.
- Put all objects back in the box & ask students to name one bad item and one good item for reading books.
If there's time:

The Most Expensive Tattoo in the World
Valued at $ 924,000, the 612 pieces of .5-carat diamonds creeping like wild vines on Minki van der Westhuizen's back is the most expensive tattoo in the world. Its artists took eight hours to individually apply the diamonds using a specialized water-based adhesive onto Minki's body.
Yet here's the controversy: the diamond design on the international model and Shimansky brand promoter's back shouldn't have passed up as a tattoo. Everyone knows it's not permanent, and the design was not even drawn using an indelible pigment, henna or ink. Then, what was this fuss all about? Fashion, perhaps.
Shimansky, a South Africa Jeweller known for its odd diamond-studded crafts such as lingeries, soccer balls and now, temporary tattoo, offers to recreate these luxuries for the wealthy. Its painstakingly creative advertising might as well work.

His photography has been in over 100 museum and gallery exhibits through-out the United States, Canada, China, and Europe. Woody has over 35 years photographing lightning storms and has had several articles published on the subject. He has received numerous awards and recognition for his work.
"I photograph the wild creatures of our planet in hopes of touching the viewer's senses and giving the viewer a feeling of the animal's energy. The breath of a grizzly bear on a crisp fall morning as it searches for food. The sound of entangled antlers between two bull elk in the rut. The dusty haze surrounding two fighting mustangs around a water hole. Photographing the sights, sounds and smells of nature's interactions is my continual challenge."

This is my crew!!! Delightful looking bunch and very well behaved most of the time. This gorgeous photo was taken last summer on the Ring of Kerry. My parents were visiting and had never been to Kerry so we spent a week with them in Killarney and we picked a gorgeous day to drive around the Ring. Ireland is a spectacular Island and has such diverse scenery, especially when you have great weather. This was one of those days!!! My darling sons have been rather annoyed that their sister, my special sidekick, has already appeared on this blog. Here you are boys!!! My children would make great models for Tourism Ireland with all that red hair. DS#1 is trying to come up with a name for he and his brother, a few of the proposals have been nixed - boys will be boys and potty humor will always amuse. I had to remind them that Grandma is reading these and she won't find that funny..... They still laugh and the conversation slowly disintegrates into nonsense. The other day DS#2 told me I was a nice chick!! What the #*!!^.. Where in the world did he learn that, however I was secretly delighted to be called a chick;-)
Tomorrow is going to be a fun day, I am meeting up with Sherry , we are going to a little quilt shop in Dublin. Actually it is not a shop front per se, a woman has a wooden cabin in her back garden filled with fabric and supplies. For all of you who live near a quilt shop, consider yourselves blessed, truly blessed. Over here we have nothing, nada. There are a few women here and there that have little businesses set up in a spare room of their home or outbuilding and that is pretty much it. The prices are outrageous here in Europe, 14 euro per meter is the average, this is about 17 US dollars per yard. Can you imagine??? I was telling Sherry that I buy all my stash and supplies in the states. Tomorrow it is going to be great to look at fabric and stuff, I can't wait!!!!
So Long and Keep Smiling

Europe road Trip
Our friends Marie and Philipp traveled with a group of friends in 2 vans from Germany to Portugal. It was their first time here and we could enjoy some nice days together, sharing meals, little tasks and exploring the area around.
Adventures in Penha Garcia
Thank God they were in a really nice spot when they stoped the car and had to extinguish the fire caused by one of the parts of the engine that jumped to the side of the road. They also enjoyed the hospitality of the portuguese family living next to the road, they brought them water, food and made them company.
All endep up ok. As the insurance company covered the costs to tow the van back to Germany and the flights back home.
The rest of the group continued the journey back home.
It was a short but intense visit. We hope to see this faces again. Thank you Philipp, Marie, Jacob, Bruno, Joanna, Marie and Jonathan!
Thomas came to visit and help us for 3 weeks. And Philipp decide to stay with us for a couple days more.
Eric and the boys enjoyed some machete work and making a bonnefire in the end of the week.
Strawbale Invasion
They are a great natural building material and also useful for the garden, compost piles and other projects.
We got 2 big trucks full and our friends Liz and Ian came by surprise with their family. Talk about coming in the perfect time. Thanks for the help!

Black and White. Neither shade goes out of style.
A timeless look that would look good with anyone.
For this look of mine, I wanted to create a bold graphic statement.
I wore a jumpsuit that is printed with stripes from head-to-toe.
Fashion Tip #1 : Wear VERTICAL stripes to elongate your body.
They are perfect for petite frames.
Fashion Tip #2 : Add an accent hue.
My recommendation is to go for RED.
Perhaps a red hair accessory, red pumps or a sultry red lipstick would do the trick.
Fashion Tip #3 : Walk with confidence and put on your best smile.
Make that first impression last.
Jumpsuit by New Moon
Belt by Muffin
Pumps by MNJ
Hope you like my post for tonight.
And oh before I forget, I would like you to meet my cat.
Isn't he cute? He reminds me so much of Puss in Boots
especially when he is sitting down and looking at me.

As viewers, unseasoned in the field of archaeology, we are often thrilled and inspired by ancient treasures. Gold and silver icons or mysterious and elaborate monuments of stone, fashioned by hands working hundreds or thousands of years ago, easily capture and even possess our imaginations. We wonder, Who created this? Why? What inspired this effort? When an artifact is well defined and perfectly preserved for all eternity, it is easy to rationalize our attraction to it. But for archaeologists, and all those with insatiable imaginations, even the smallest fragments can alter a way of thinking or the direction of a creative spirit.
One such fragment was introduced to Susan Point in 1995. That year, the UBC Museum of Anthropology commissioned Point to recreate a group of small Coast Salish artifacts. Her only guides were prehistoric fragments made of antler, bone and wood. Some of these pieces were estimated to be three to four thousand years old. Armed with her strong research skills and a deep understanding of the nature of Coast Salish design, she set to work. The results were included in an exhibition, Written in the Earth: Coast Salish Prehistoric Art, which explored art from prehistoric archaeological sites located in traditional Coast Salish territories. From the details of these small artifacts, Point created new pieces as pen and ink illustrations, colour renderings, and antler and bone carvings. Little did she anticipate, however, that one small fragment of charred wood, adorned with a barely discernible carved pattern, would revolutionize her creative direction.
Although all these shards of the past had a lasting effect on Point, the one that lingers in her mind is this charred piece of carved wood that may have come from the lid of an engraved wooden box over two thousand years old. The piece, only about 21 cm (about 8 inches) at its widest, was found at the Esilao dig site in the Fraser Canyon, where the burnt remains and debris from an ancient pit house were discovered.
Imagination (2000): Like the second act of a three-act play, Susan Point's second piece inspired by the fragment is more subtle and internal to the artist. For Imagination, Point looked back in time. "I imagined the artist deep within the rain forest," she explains, "along the banks of the Fraser Canyon, where this particular piece was found, simply sitting and engraving the piece of wood on the forest floor." Point pursued this image with extensive research, discovering unusual plants, like candy stick and ghost pipe (both from the Indian pipe family), which the artist may have seen while he or she carved. She also added bearberry, or kinnickinnick, a plant used as tobacco, and she included large slugs, creeping beneath the foliage. Now, instead of seeing the fragment as part of a box, Point imagined it to be a woodblock, used for printing or stamping a mark wherever the artist wanted. Thus, in Imagination, the fragment, which is included in the body of one of the slugs, is reversed, as it would be for stamping. She also turned the fragment so that the grain was running vertically, as opposed to its horizontal direction in Images.
With Images, Imagination and Imagism, Susan Point has made a transformation of her own. The fragment, by its nature, defies explanation. It can't be contained by the boundaries of what it may have looked like or what its purpose may have been. Instead, it inspires introspection. It has a purpose now, which may be different than it was then. Point's perspective has expanded. The limitless future has become her canvas and her eagerness to embrace her journey is an inspiration to others.
Coast Salish (Musqueam)
(1952- )
Susan began making limited edition prints on her kitchen table in 1981 while working as a legal secretary. She received several early commissions, which established her reputation for innovative proposals and for completing projects on time, on budget and at the highest level. She took courses in silver, casting and carving, all of which led to monumental sculptures in mixed media, and she was the first Northwest Coast artist to work in glass. She continues to release a number of print editions each year, but her focus has been on commissioned sculpture.

I had my pre-op appointment this afternoon. I spent more time with the nurse getting the EKG setup than I did with the doctor. I don't love my primary but I don't hate her. Today, unfortunately, she seemed really uninterested in my being her patient. She asked me one set of question twice because she "couldn't remember if she had asked them already" and she'd be in the room less than five minutes. What the hell? But on the up-side, they were on time taking me back to the exam room, the majority of my wait-time was minimal, and I was done less than 20 minutes later–five of which were taken up by checking out and doing a survey of how my appointment went on an iPad. Also, good news, despite my white coat syndrome, my blood pressure wasn't terrible. And no nurse chased me down the hall to tell me she was really worried for me and here was a flyer on a low salt diet (true story, this actually happened the last time I was at the primary's office when I saw the nurse practitioner to see if I was dealing with allergies or a sinus infection…my bp was slightly elevated which I KNEW was because of WCS but the nurse chased me down the hall after my appointment yelling WAIT WAIT! and told me she was so worried for me and handed me the papers). I mean, good on her for caring, but my BP is pretty normal at home and I know (and tell them all) about my WCS so they don't freak out and try to put me on BP meds.
After my appointment at the doctor's, I had to drive to the lab to get my blood drawn (stupid insurance won't let me do it in the doctor's office but rather I have to go to an independent lab to do it). It actually went REALLY quickly where normally I have to wait an hour or so to get in. I was in and out in less than half an hour, with the longest part (almost) being walking to and from the parking lot to get to the lab. I was glad it was all over and now I have to hope that the blood work gets completed in time to get to the hospital an entire 24 hours before my surgery. This was the soonest the primary could fit me in and I couldn't get the blood work done without seeing the primary and getting the order put in. Bleh. Not much I can do, but it still stinks.
I mowed the lawn again yesterday. It was actually a really nice day again, with just a little sun, a nice breeze, and cool temperatures. I was proud that I got the lawn done again, but last night when I was ready to go to sleep, I realized that my neck was really hurting. It gave me trouble all night (along with the dogs who woke us with furious crying and barking at 2:30am) and has plagued me today. It's a muscle pull where you can't turn your head in one direction? It's very uncomfortable and I hope it goes away quickly. Not only is it giving me more trouble sleeping (like I don't have enough issue with that), but it's bothering me even when I'm just sitting.
My sleep still sucks. I feel like I'm up every hour or so. I've gone to sleep late the last two nights in the hopes that I could fall asleep more quickly at night and sleep later in the morning. It's not a good habit to be in because I can easily get into the habit of staying up late and NOT being able to sleep in the morning. I've been yawning all afternoon. I am going to go back to my regular schedule, even though my pattern isn't working too well in the mornings. Plus, my PVCs are bothering me at night, which keeps me from falling asleep in a short amount of time. That means every time I was up, I have trouble getting comfortable and getting back to sleep. I'm also having weird dreams and nightmares…still. What's up with that?
That's it for now. I gotta go put my heating pad on my neck.

Renting A Property
If you are looking for property to rent in the North East, we are sure to have a property to meet your requirements. Since 2000 we have build an enviable database of rental properties of all types, from stunning city centre apartments to family homes and multiple occupancy student accommodation.
All of the properties that we manage are continuously monitored to ensure that they meet all current mandatory standards and our personal service means that if have any problems with your tenancy, you can be assured that we will help you to resolve it as quickly ad painlessly as possible.
To find your ideal rental property, use the quick search to find relevant details. If you can't find what exactly what you're looking for, get in touch with our dedicated lettings team on 0191 209 2222 or email firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll help you to locate a rental property that meets your requirements.
The best way to start you hunt for a rental property is to have a very clear idea of the budget that you can afford to pay on a monthly basis. Remember that you will need to factor in additional expenses, such as council tax, energy bills, insurance and everyday luxuries like the good old TV license.
Once you have established your budget, you can start thinking hard about what you want from your new home both now and in the years that you will be living there.
Below is a list of some of the things that we believe you should consider when looking for property to rent:
Choosing an Area
It is important to research each particular area before viewing lots of properties there. For example many of the suburbs of Newcastle, i.e. Jesmond, Heaton or Gosforth, differ significantly from each other. Also within each suburb any given street can have a different demographic living in it. Within West Jesmond many of the streets, like Lavender Gardens or Bayswater Road, may now be predominantly student lets while Highbury still remains the domain of professionals and families.
Although the internet is a great tool for searching through a vast quantity of properties and locations, simply touring the area can give you a good idea of what it will actually be like.
Types of Property
To decide what type of property you want you are going to have to ask yourself more questions:
- Do you want to rent a new or an older house?
- Do you want a terraced, semi-detached or detached house, or even a flat?
If the answer is a flat, do you want an older style purpose-built flat such as a Tyneside Flat or a modern-purpose built flat or even a period conversion apartment?
Common considerations when researching property to rent are space, privacy, noise, parking, character, transport links and obviously price.
If you would like us to help you find your perfect rental property call us today on 0191 209 2222 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com

The origin of the Planet Brothers family has been the result of a tried and tested Racing Loft. From the very beginning, Planet Brothers set their loft up to produce a pigeon that would compete at National and Combine level from 50 miles to 500 miles. Our aim was to produce an outstanding one day pigeon, that was irrespective of the conditions. In the United Kingdom we raced North Road which meant all our distance races were from Scotland, and the pigeons had to encounter some tough race points. The 300 mile race from Berwick was always one we strived to excel in. It was the race with the biggest entry and we have always said that most pigeons are capable of competing at this level. For us, this was the hardest race to win. Beyond Berwick, we had Stonehaven 382 miles, Fraserburgh and Thurso 504 miles.
There was a 600 mile Lerwick race but we never had any wish to compete in this type of race, the reasoning behind this, is that any two day race, is in our opinion, a lottery and the best bird does not always win. Once a bird has to roost up overnight so many elements come into play, the safety of the bird, how quickly it is disturbed the next day, and the possibility that the real quality pigeons perish, trying to get home on the day.For us as pigeon lovers, extreme distance racing, borders on cruelty and should not be practiced as a sport. Most of the fanciers who entertain such races, cannot win anything else and these lottery type competitions provide them with some hope of a very shallow victory.
Creating a super one day pigeon, is dealt with in The Planet Brothers book
In trying to produce the ultimate one day pigeon, you have to set yourself certain goals and one of those goals was that every race bird on the loft, must compete in all races through to 504 miles, unless they were sick or carrying an injury. True to our goals, all of our champions were sent to, and competed at these races. Scrumpy, One Four, Sure Return, Exterminator, Pied Cock, Dictator, TV Man, Hitman etc etc all flew the programme every year and in most instances flew the 500 mile race 4 or 5 times in their careers. Many Champions were lost on some horrendous races, due mainly to bad race controlling and weather conditions, but we are proud to say that we got the best from the birds and were never wondering, 'what could have been'?.
Although we firmly believe that Champions have to come from good stock, they have to be worked, cultivated and tested if they are ever to realise their full potential.
As previously mentioned in the Brief History , we began with many different strains and the real turning point was upon our return to the Sport after going to Australia. It was the Belgium and Dutch influence that changed our racing, and this originated from the early success achieved with the Busschaerts, Fabrys and Janssen pigeon.
To this end we went to a loft that had a mixture of Janssen, De Smet-Mathijs, Cattryse and Van Rhijn Kloeck pigeons. The loft was Louis Van Loon.
The success of the Van Loon pigeon led us to Leen Boers who also had very similar bloodlines and was a sensation in the early 80's with his 'fastest pigeons in the world'.
Then it was to Janssen Brothers and Karl Meulemans, who need no introduction, and the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle was the loft of Herman Beverdam in Holland. The only other introductions were 'the Aliens', which will be discussed and explained in The Planet Brothers Book.
All of the above were instrumental in providing quality pigeons to our lofts. Some were limited in numbers and it must be said that for the amount of birds purchased, some of them were a little disappointing, but among the many were a number of 'Jewels'.
As time has progressed the blending of the above families has produced our own unique type of pigeon, The Planet Brothers pigeon. Many of the original family names are now often referred to as Planet Janssens, Planet Van Loons or Planet Aliens, either way fanciers are now realising that it is in their interest to refer to the birds in this way.
Its a situation that we have never been comfortable with and one that we have campaigned for years to change. However, the British pigeon flier and indeed the rest of the world, seem adamant that all strains should be referred back to the Belgium or Dutch origin. For us, this is pointless because it was Planet Brothers that created the Champions, not the Belgium or the Dutch. It was Planet Brothers that made these people famous and put them on the map. Before our intervention and purchases many were relatively unknown. More importantly, after our purchases, none of the Lofts achieved what Planet Brothers did with them. Proving that some of the best ended up at Noak Hill, and that was no accident !!
The purpose of this web site is to provide an insight into Planet Brothers, their pigeons and their methods. It will take around two years before the whole story unfolds and piece by piece the jigsaw puzzle will be completed.
Upon starting with The History of our birds , we quickly realised that the task is immense, because there is 40 years of paperwork and photographs to go through. Much of the work that we put into the birds all those years ago, had a tremendous bearing on how our loft developed and we hope that the mistakes made and the knowledge gained will be beneficial to all who read it. Rare photos that have never been published will be used to illustrate the changes that we made and in time we hope the Forum Area provides fanciers with the answers they are looking for.

Lentil meatballs (meatless)
Lentill meatballs!!! I'm particularly excited with this recipe...It's been a while since I've started testing out different meatless meatballs recipes, and this one is definitly my favourite! In my modest opinion, way better than regular meatballs...
If you want to make this recipe gluten-free, just substitute the breadcrumbs for rolled oats...but this meatballs made with bread are the best! Absolutely stunning! And as usual, they are also super quick and easy to make!
Ingredients (to make ~12 meatballs):
1/2 cup lentils (green or brown)
1 small onion (~1/4 cup chopped onion)
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup grated carrot (1 small carrot)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseeds + 3 tbsp water)
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tbsp olive oil - to fry the meatballs
Serve with:
Pasta (I used black beans spaghetti)
Cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato sauce
Fresh oregano
Place a pan into medium heat. Add the lentils and cover with hot water. Let them cook for 15-20 minutes and then drain the remaining water.
In a small bowl mixture 1 tbsp of ground flaxseeds and 3 tbsp of water and set it apart for 10 minutes. Meanwhile chop the onion, the garlic and peel and grate the carrot.
If not using pre-made breadcrumbs, add a couple slices of bread to a food processor and pulse a few times. Than add the remaining ingredients (execept the olive oil) and pulse again until everything is combined.
Place a frying pan with the olive oil into high heat. Form little balls with the previous mixture and add them to the pan. Let them cook for about 2 minutes and then flip them, untill their golden brown on both sides.
Serve with pasta and tomato sauce! I also added some cherry tomatoes for extra freshness and some fresh oregano.

Personal History
I was born in 1948, February 7th, in Kalamazoo, Michigan. My parents were average middle-class, working class people. They believed in the value of hard work and both came from religious families. My dad grew up in the Pontiac, Michigan area and my mom grew up in the Comstock, Michigan area. My father's uncle Clifford helped him get a job in the paper industry in Parchment, Michigan (near Kalamazoo). He left his job to serve in the 2nd world war. I am not sure of many of the details of his army life, but I know he was in Algeria. I have a ring that he gave me that he got in Africa. It is inscribed with the word "Oman". When he returned from the war, he returned to his job in Parchment.
I believe he met my mother thru his job at the paper mill. They were married and bought a house on the east side of Kalamazoo. Washburn Avenue. That is where I grew up.
My dad's parents were Roy and Lillian Skinner. Roy was killed in a gravel cave-in when my father was 12 years old. Later, Lilian re-married. She married Fisk MdGregor. Since my dad's family lived on the other side of the state (Pontiac area), we did not see them often. Maybe twice a year. I remember visiting his parents (my grand-parents). They had two bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs. Grandpa and grandma slept downstairs and we slept upstairs. My mom and dad had one room (I think my sister slept on the floor in there). My brother and I slept in the other room. I remember the bed seemed really huge and quite high off the floor, with a massive wooden headboard. Breakfasts there were special to me, because they used real butter and I remember how much better it tasted than what we used at home. There was a railway track out behind there back-yard and my brother and sister and I would climb the fence and tempt fate (or so it seemed at the time) by watching and waiting for a train to come along. I remember putting pennnies on the track and then collecting the flattened coins after a train had passed. Once we put a bananna peel on the track. Fun and adventure for kids from Kalamazoo with no experience with trains. I have no memories of my dad's parents ever coming to Kalamazoo to visit.
My dad had two brothers (Don and Charles). Charles and his wife, Mildred, had a daughter, Carol. They lived on a farm (my dad's Aunt Ida's farm) when I first remember them. Later, they moved to live next door to my grand-parents. Don and his wife, Marion, had three boys. Sometimes we stayed with them when we went to the Pontiac area to visit. We thought it was neat hanging around with my cousins (Uncle Don's boys) Jimmy, Allen and Danny. They would take us out into the woods, swamps and over to Dunham Lake and let us shoot their BB Gun.
My dad's father died in a gravel cave-in when my dad was twelve. His mother re-married (to Fisk McGregor). She died in 1955 from cancer. I remember going to see her shortly before she died. She was lying on a bed in the living room of their house. Her skin was very yellowish.
The following is some biographical info that my father wrote:
"In early January, I received a letter from the draft board telling me my draft number would be called in March 1941. On March 17th in 1941, I called to join the army. This was St. Patricks' day so I will never forget that day.
Quite a few men from Kalamazoo were put on a train and a very short time we were in Fort Custer in Battle Creek. We stayed there for about three days getting our physicals and shots. While I was there I got my first taste of what army life was about. I went to the washroom and there was a G.I. there who seemed to be in charge of things. There was a cigarette butt on the floor and he told me to pick it up. I told him I didn't put it there and he said to pick it up anyway. After that he told me to get a mop and pail and mop up the floor. I proceeded to do that too. I wouldn't be surprised if that G. I. planted that cigarette butt there. Also I was woke up very early one morning for K.P. duty. That was the first time for me to have to do K.P. duty but later I was called again for the job.
After about three days at Fort Custer, a lot of us were put on a train for training at Fort Sill in Oklahoma. Fort Sill was located in the Wichita Mountains near Lawton. It was about the biggest artillery bas the army had. When I got there I found out the army wasn't anywhere near ready for war. We had uniforms that were used in World War 1. Also there were not hardly any small arms available to train us. The first few months there we done a lot of hiking and calisthenics to get us in shape. After that we started spending some time on the artillery range. Little did we know what was going to happen next.
We found out the artillery guns we would be using were World War 1 howitzers that had been stored for twenty years or more. These guns had been packed in cosmoline, a type of grease and extremely hard to remove. We had to use gallons of solvent to get it cleaned up. We finally got some of the guns cleaned up and we were able to use them. Now we would be ready to go on the range and start learning about these 75 mm guns which were made in France. When we were ready to go out on the firing range, the guns were lined up four in a row. Each gun had its own crew. My job was to load shells in the gun. They use shells that were called "high explosives". Each shell had a white nose piece which was the high explosive. During the loading process, the crews were very edgy. We were told the nose piece could explode very easy if we were careless. Later we started training on a larger gun which was made in the states and it was 105 mm in size.
Later in the year some of us were put in another outfit at Fort Sill. It was called the 8th Field Artillery Observation battalion. This unit was supposed to go ahead of the regular artillery and with instruments, could detect enemy fire and sounds. Also in this group was a group that was called the Meteorology Unit. This is the group I was in. This group checked on weather conditions that might effect the artillery shells being fired. Mainly we checked wind speed and direction and humidity.
In the fall of 1941, about Oct or Nov, I found that some of the fellows were getting furloughs. So I went through the proper channels and was granted my first furlough. I was glad to get home and away from army life. On my way home on furlough, I took a bus and when I got as far a Joplin, Missouri, we had a stop. When I got off the bus, I didn't have mine pocket book, nor my furlough papers. I had my bus ticket so I was OK. for traveling. I'm sure the people who sat behind me took my billfold.
My mother's family all lived in the Kalamazoo area. There were many family get-togethers on my mother's side. My mothers parents were Claire and Grace Schuyler. My mother had a brother (Uncle Bud) and a sister (Doris). We had big holiday gatherings and huge meals. My mother's parents loved to play games, such as Dominos, various card games and Chinese marbles. Claire was a bit of a rascal. He liked to smoke cigars and was known to have a drink of liquor from time to time. He also called square dances. My grandma Schuyler always kept a Parakeet. She was a prolific letter-writter. We received many letters from her to let us know that she was thinking about us and to keep us informed about what was happening back in Kalamazoo.
Growing up on the East Side of Kalamazoo was great. Lots of kids to play with. We went to Woodrow Wilson Elementary School. Kindergarten thru Grade 6. We used to walk to and from school in the morning and in the afternoon. And we used to walk home for lunch each day also. It was about 6 city blocks from our house to the school. That sure kept us in shape. Not alot of over-weight kids in those days. After school, on weekends and thru-out the summer we rode our bikes alot, went exploring and hiking south of our place. There it was wooded and swampy and hilly in places. There was a big ridge or hill down there that we called Devil's Back. It was a great place for sliding in the winter. And there was another wooded hilly place a little closer that we used to play in and build forts. We used to dig big holes in the ground and then cover them over with trees and branches. They were actually quite roomy. We played baseball and football. There was a park a few blocks away and that is where we played Little League baseball. In the winter, one of the things we did (that was actually quite dangerous) was wait around on street corners for a car to stop at a stop sign and then we would run over and hang onto the bumper of the car and "skate" along behind it. What were we thinking!!!!!
After Woodrow Wilson Elementary School (the building has been demolished), we went to Northeastern Junior High School. Some of the things that stand out in my mind in my Northeastern Junior HIgh School days were:
- a trip to Chicago with my 7th grade English teacher and my friend Mike Survilla
- trying out and being accepted into a drama group – "Junior Civic Theatre"
- typing class – in grade 7. This is where I learned to type. A very valuable asset.

Rapid Joint Recovery and Pain Management – Powered with UC•II
ALLFLEX is a synergistic and balanced blend of complementary ingredients designed to:
• Helps Restore Joint Mobility
• Patented Type-II Collagen
• Reduces Joint Pain
As an athlete who trains intensely, your body is more prone to wear and tear and the increased demands will inevitably lead to sore joints and muscle pains. If you're pushing your body to the extreme at the gym, you demand something that will alleviate this pain quickly and effectively. ALLFLEX, powered with UC•II was strategically designed to provide support and relief from the pounding your body takes in and out of the gym.
ALLFLEX is an advanced recovery reliever that promotes joint health and mobility and reduces the pain and inflammation associated with intense physical activity. As a proprietary blend it has been formulated for both active individuals and competitive athletes who participate in high intensity exercises.
The ALLFLEX delivery system starts with a rapid-release microthin capsule that delivers results quickly and has a sustained-release formulation that continues to work over a 12-Hour Period. Your joints take a pounding and until now, there has been just the regular, same old joint ingredients. Backed by the strength of 6 Human Clinical Trials, ALLFLEX® with UC-II® gives you the tools to fight back!
Clinically Shown To Be 348% as Effective as a Combination of 1,500 mg of GLUCOSAMINE & 1,200 mg of CHONDROITIN.
The key to this impressive and highly advanced formula is a combination of UC-II® Undenatured Type-II Collagen for joint repair, 3-LASTIN™ for inflammation and OptiMSM® for joint mobility with potent Curcumin for Free Radical Reduction and Antioxidant support!
ALLMAX ALLFLEX is available in a 60 capsule size.
UC•II® Joint Regeneration Agent – Undenatured Type-II Collagen (40 mg)
A powerful joint-specific anti-inflammatory and a newly discovered antioxidant that helps address oxidative damage to joints. UC•II has been found to be superior, safe, completely natural and effective ingredient for joint and pain management. This superior ingredient is effective at pain and joint management and is manufactured through a low-temperature process that ensures the biological activity remains intact.
Best of all, the type of collagen most abundant in joints is the same collagen in ALLFLEX with UC•II®. Over 30 years of double-blind, placebo controlled studies indicate that it actually helps in the synthesis of new cartilage in challenged joints. (Protected by 4 separate US Patents.)
UC•II is a revolutionary new approach to joint and pain management and is backed by six human clinical trials, including one conducted at the prestigious Harvard University that found that study participants experienced substantial improvement with the addition of UC•II® and best of all, experienced no side effects .
In research, Boswellic Extract was found to reduce inflammation by inhibiting proinflammatory 5-lipoxygenase chemicals and blocking leukotriene synthesis. Those with joint pain are often looking for a natural alternative and 3-Lastin provides a well-tolerated and safe alternative.
OptiMSM® Collagen Synthesis Activator – Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) (450 mg)
MSM helps repair damaged cells and promotes the growth of healthy new cells. MSM is necessary for joint collagen synthesis. Collagen builds a powerful matrix to help strengthen joint tissue, while providing flexibility. It is also a protein and essential for the growth and repair of cells.
MSM is a natural sulphur compound in fruit, vegetables, fish, milk and grains. In Human clinical research trials, MSM was found to relieve pain and stiffness and reduce swelling and inflammation. It has been found to be a safe and effective method to provide joint comfort and increase joint range of motion.
Curcumin Antioxidant Powerhouse – Curcuma Longa (100 mg)
Curcumin provides powerful joint tissue protection from Free Radical Oxidative damage at the cellular level and has been found to be more than more than 300 times the antioxidant power than vitamin E. This has been used in traditional Asian medicine to alleviate pain associated with arthritis and reduce inflammation. Furthermore, it can help inhibit the production of prostaglandins.
Salix Alba – White Willow Extract (100 mg)
The ultra pure, bioavailable herbal extract Salix Alba has been carefully combined with the core ALLFLEX ingredients to reduce inflammation, joint pain, swelling and stiffness.
Salix Alba or white willow extract is derived from a large tree indigenous to Central and Southern Europe, Asia and North America and has long been utilized for its inflammation properties. It has been recorded as being one of the oldest forms of natural painkillers in human history.
Specifically, the inner bark of white willow contains tannins that have been suggested as being responsible for pain relief and reduction. It has also been found to inhibit prostaglandins (chemicals produced in response to injury to the body). White willow often referred to as nature's aspirin and provides a powerful but completely natural approach to treating aches and pains.
Vitamin C and E complex
Vitamin C – Calcium Ascorbate (40mg or 100% RDI)
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin and antioxidant that is essential for high performance athletes. It provides support to the immune system under stress and intense training, and helps maintain collagen, which is essential for the formation and repair of connective tissue.
Vitamin E – di-Alpha Tocopherol (35 iu or 100% RDI)
This powerful antioxidant helps improve circulation and is necessary for tissue repair. It is also helpful for normal blood clotting, healing and prevents scarring. It provides athletic support by relaxing cramps and maintains healthy nerves and muscles, while strengthening capillary walls. The alpha form of vitamin E has been found to be the most potent form.

Always read the entire label before starting any new product. Take 2 capsules once daily, following the first meal of the day.
You should be able to feel the effects of ALLFLEX® as soon as you start taking it. The longer you consistently take ALLFLEX®, the sooner your joint pain will decrease. You will also notice that your flexibility may be restored, as you will no longer be overcome by joint pain. ALLFLEX® can help with long-term joint maintenance and immediate pain relief.
7. I've seen quite a few topical creams that claim to help with joint pain on the market, are these effective?
Topical versions of joint care formulas have not been proven to provide relief. The best way to get joint pain relief is to take an oral dietary supplement such as ALLFLEX®. This will ensure the active ingredients are effectively absorbed into the joint tissues.

Netflix Has An Amazing New Site Dedicated To Spoilers
In this Brave New World of ubiquitous social media, #trending pieces, binge watching, and television's hypnotizing role as the modern opiate of the people, spoilers have become a plague on our culture. Maybe it's the allure of a power dynamic between the dude who Ludovico'd himself in front of his dirty MacBook Air for all 13 episodes of House of Cards and the dude who would otherwise stick to a bi-weekly viewing schedule or even (gasp) the traditional one-per-week prescription.
Maybe it's just a matter of who has the time? We don't know. What we do know is Netflix's new spoiler site is a fantastic poke at spoiler culture.
The first part of this genius site attempts to ascertain what spoilers are in public domain; in other words, which plot twists are common knowledge. Cool Runnings won the vote for some reason.
Netflix then asks questions about your spoiling behavior and slaps you with a label.
You might be a "Coded Spoiler," a "Clueless Spoiler," a "Shameless Spoiler," a "Power Spoiler," or an "Impulse Spoiler." Take the test.
Then, of course, they offer you some spoilers from their extensive movie catalog.
But only if you're really sure.
You can run it back to ruin everything, if you feel like it.
Ethan Wolff-Mann is an editor at Supercompressor. He likes to think he's above this spoiler business, but he is probably a "coded spoiler." Follow him on Twitter @ewolffmann.

Included with the TS07 enclosure is a 12V DC power adapter, a 100mm USB 3.0 cable, stand, and user's manual. The TS07 has a nice black exterior. Making the TS07 rather nice is that this 3.5-inch enclosure is tool-less with a release slide for opening the enclosure and sliding out the disk tray, which is also tool-less. Securing the hard drive is a unique latch system that does not require any screws. Installing and removing a SATA 3.5-inch hard drive was extremely easy.
On the TS07 exterior next to the tray release switch is a power switch, USB 3.0 connection, and the +12V DC power input. There is also a green LED indicator for power and disk activity. Unless using an adapter, the TS07 is not compatible with 2.5-inch disk drives. The TS07 utilizes an Asmedia ASM1051E controller.
As expected, when plugging the external enclosure into an Ubuntu Linux desktop, there were not any problems and the device was working straightaway.

13 February 2015
Los Angeles, California
Over the past year, I have received numerous requests asking me to clarify my position and state my reasons why I believe that my father, Dr. George Hill Hodel, the 1940s, Lone Woman Serial Killer also known as, the "Black Dahlia Avenger" may have reinvented himself twenty years later as the San Francisco serial killer, known as, "Zodiac."
For those interested in examining the specific linkage, I would suggest they read the material summarized in MOST EVIL (Dutton, 2009) and advise them to "stay tuned" as I anticipate releasing new information in the near future.
That said, I am here providing a link to a YouTube recorded PowerPoint summary of what I consider to be THIRTY SEPARATE AND UNIQUE CRIME SIGNATURES AND MO'S used by both Black Dahlia Avenger and Zodiac. (Have also attached the summary at bottom of blog, as a condensed downloadable PDF.)
As I indicate in the summary, for a homicide investigator to find two or three unique signatures would generally be enough to demand they "take a look" at any two separate crimes as possibly being connected to the same killer. However, to discover THIRTY, as rare and distinct as what we find in the BDA/LONE WOMAN MURDERS and ZODIAC signatures is unheard of and screams out for some forensic follow-up. (To date none of the five separate law enforcement agencies have examined any of the linkage. The California Department of Justice's handwriting expert, at my request, has compared George Hodel's handwriting to Zodiac's and due to the lack of lowercase printing (he requested additional samples from me, which are non-existent) claims he is unable to positively identify the samples, but goes on to state, "I am unable to eliminate George Hodel as the author of the Zodiac letters."
I have obtained a full DNA profile on my father, Dr. George Hill Hodel, that is available to law enforcement for testing. However, to date, no confirmed Zodiac DNA exists, and many of the potential evidence samples remain untested. (The best potential for confirmed Zodiac DNA remains the men's size 7 gloves from the Paul Stine, San Francisco, taxi-cab murder. (In 2010, DOJ informed me they "were looking for them to test, but apparently they were as then "lost" somewhere in the SFPD Evidence Lockers."
