Hi All,

Someone who posts here had a heart to heart talk with me and that person rather laid things on the line. So, I hope no one takes too much of an exception to this post.

I'm not well in a very serious way, so I am not up to a lot of aggravation right now, so if someone is of a mind to go in that direction, please, give it a rest. Hopefully in the next two weeks this health problem will be addressed before it kills me and God willing during my recovery the next phase of this important work I do will be addressed.

I like to learn about science and in looking at evaluation methods I wanted to gleam as much as I can from it, so I'll be assembling all of my past predictions for evaluation. The first run will be one I do myself, just using basic math and a catalog. Then Roger Hunter will run it through his program and lastly, we will apply Roger Musson's program. I will be using it for a demonstration on my prediction web site so others can understand how a predictor can find a program which is more lenient in their direction. It's important to know these will have different results. I'm curious too as to what program Keilis-Borok uses for his. I have no idea what the results will be because I've never run any of the numbers myself. It's just data I collected and never used.

In addition to the evaluation I'm going to take some time to gleam important facts from the data. One of them was realizing after the Indonesia earthquake we went from hearing ear tones two weeks in advance to four weeks in advance. And it has not changed since then. This should tell everyone the earth is not the same today as it was, of course, neither are we.

Next, I want to do an examination to determine how each member fares out insofar as their location goes. I want to determine for each of us which areas we are more proficient in. Are they closer or far away? Then the next step will be to see if I can sort out earthquake faults from the reports.

So as you can see, there is much work to do to see what is the best of the best or the worst in some cases. It sounds relatively easy, but its far from that and very labor intensive. But as I intend to work in foreign countries what I learn now may prove invaluable then. I put out the word in my Nexus Radio interview that I am looking for people to learn this skill and also I am interested in going to Northern Italy, Greece and the Middle East. Hopefully this can be done in conjunction with my studies, so I can earn my PhD.

Life is always an uphill climb and ear tone research has been that way too. But to save one village of people and let them have generations which follow is really the least I wish to see accomplished.

By the end of next week, at long last Seismic Wave will be concluded and the gift I have long wanted to give to some very special scientists can be delivered. There are about a dozen or so really terrific gents out there who turned my head around a long time ago and I never forget anyone who shares something of value with me. I'm sure they will feel honored when they receive this gift. And I humbled to be able to give it.
My attendance at the 1906 Centennial Memorial was a wonderful experience. The people were in a mood as one would be in recovering from a very recent disaster. They all came together and everyone talked to everyone else. Even when it was the most crowded no one was of an ill mood. I met so many people I can't even begin to say how many. San Francisco did rise from the ashes and today we enjoy the new and remember the past. While I was there I gave two newspaper interviews, one for the SF Examiner and the other for a publication in Bahn, Germany which gave me another opportunity to share my message of reaching out. I may be going back on Nexus Radio again in the not so distant future as there was much we didn't have time to cover in just one hour. Maybe some of the data information could be shared at that time too.

I am aware that not everyone will be of like mind and feel this can be accomplished, but I do and I have to try. Earthquake safety comes in many forms and now its time to see if the final form will help at least a few. Time will tell. For now, I'm just going to concentrate on my health, for without it, I won't be doing anything.
