We have special results to share today after a week of celebrating our guest artist Nina Laden and her books on my FB page. If you are just tuning in, Nina is a children's book author/illustrator based in Washington, whose first story THE NIGHT I FOLLOWED THE DOG was published in 1994 by Chronicle Books. She has since launched more delightful books into the world including, DADDY WRONG LEGS, PEEK A WHO? board books, ROBERTO THE INSECT ARCHITECT, WHEN PIGASSO MET MOOTISSE, and the recent Crystal Kite award winning picture book, ONCE UPON A MEMORY .
Nina generously donated her time to BLOBBING this week and it has been tough waiting for the unveiling today! An interview about characters follows, so keep scrolling to enjoy her visit.
I had many favorites. I loved Madeline. I still have my book, "Madeline and the Gypsies" from childhood. I also loved Claudia in "From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler." I think I wanted to be like them because they both ran away...I had a "not-very-nice" childhood in some ways - and I wanted to be independent like Madeline and Claudia.
Another tough question...the most fun? I was thrilled to bring "The Dog" in "The Night I Followed the Dog" to life. I had based him on Humphrey Bogart in "Casablanca." "The Dog" was this "under the radar," but "oh-so-suave" and smart character that I think represented the male figure that I never had in my own life- nor did my mom, and she had a crush on Humphrey Bogart and made me watch his films with her when I was in high school. Of course I also love Pigasso and Mootisse...and Roberto the Insect Architect...This is like asking a mom "who is her favorite child." I love them all.
In my imagination. Where else?
Which one of your book characters is most like you and why?
None of them are like me. At least not yet. I'm working on a middle grade novel and the main character will probably be the most like me of anything I've done so far. I'm not Pigasso or Mootise. I'm not The Dog or Private I. Guana. I'm not Roberto the Insect Architect, or Romeow and Drooliet. My soul is probably the closest to the poem I wrote that became "Once Upon A Memory."
I don't know if "Inspired" is the word. I knew right away that the shape that became the "Hip Snake" was going to be that - same thing with the "Shocked Moon". The "Little Hedgehog" seemed almost too obvious to me, and I was not sure if I should do it- it's more realistic than the others...I guess I really like the Seagull because I forced the shape to work...or not work...depending on how you see it.
Back in April I attended the SCBWI Western Washington conference where I learned about Nina and her incredible journey as an author/illustrator. Her book, Once Upon A Memory, won the 2014 Crystal Kite Award and attendees were honored to hear her Keynote Address. I left the conference in admiration of her openness, range of work and perseverance.
Just as her friendly, very warm and kind nature resonated at the conference, it solidified in her quick response back to me. She would test drive THE BLOB BLOG! I was grateful beyond words that despite a schedule probably jam packed beyond my imagination, she was up for a fun challenge.
With that...lets kick this week off!
Check back on Friday for Nina's results PLUS get to know more about her own characters in an interview. I'll be showcasing a different Nina Laden book Monday-Thursday on my FB page sharing links to the best of the best reviews/projects/interviews out there.

Makalali Private Game Lodge (Makalali which means place of rest), was an old cattle farm when it was bought in the early nineties. Restocking and regeneration of the veld were top priorities, but so was creating a lodge with a difference. The innovative design was conceived by Sylvio Rech who envisaged a lodge built under the giant trees that guard the river.
Makalali Private Game Lodge provides a dining experience that is relaxed and informal. Our chefs produce a line up of dining experiences, from dinner in the bush to a 'boma dinner' under the stars.
We pride ourselves on going 'the extra mile' and creating exclusive settings, whether it's for a romantic wedding, a conference, or private dining event.
Makalali Private Game Lodge offers a range of activities from rafting, abseiling, hot air balloon rides, golfing excursions, to visiting the Cheetah Breeding Project.

In what was a glorious March day at the MXGP of Great Britain, Calvin Vlaanderen put his Honda CRF250RW into second place in the second moto, moving through the field at this beautiful Matterley Basin circuit. Unfortunately a eighth place in race one meant that any chance of a podium overall was a long shot, but it was good to see Vlaanderen put in his best moto finish of the season, that allowed him to repeat the fourth overall that he also achieved in Argentina.
The result could have been even better for the Team HRC rider had he not crashed in race one, right after he had moved into fifth position. That mistake meant that instead of challenging the riders in front, he dropped back to 10th place and had to pass the same riders again as he made his way to eighth. A better start in race two allowed him to set his heights higher and after a race-long chase, he moved into second place with just four laps to go. The 35 points he collected this weekend were good enough to move him into third place in the 2019 MX2 world championship and with his home GP next weekend at the sandy Valkenswaard circuit, he'll be hoping to rise even further up the rankings.
Unfortunately Team Honda 114 Motorsports rider Mitchell Evans suffered early on in moto one, and while he was running a pace that matched the leaders, he was unable to get himself back in points scoring contention. The second moto was much better though as he finished in eighth place after fighting through the field from outside the top 15.
It wasn't the greatest weekend, to be honest. I'm happy that I could finish off strong with a second place in the second race, but the whole weekend I actually struggled a lot. This was especially the case in the qualifying race and the first moto today, I didn't really have a good rhythm and I seemed to be fighting the track a bit too much. I'm happy though that I could rebound for the second race and ride like I know how to ride and get that second place. It is good for my confidence and going into the week ahead, it's good motivation to keep pushing and make sure I come out swinging next weekend.
It was very much a tale of two races for Calvin this weekend. In the first, it was clear that he wasn't able to ride like we know how he can ride, but it was very pleasing to see that he didn't let it affect him and that he able to ride so well in the second race. That was the result we know that he is capable of and we are confident that after two fourth overalls in a row, he can do even better in Valkenswaard next weekend and move up from his current standing of third place in the championship.

Mycah Lewis passes the relay baton to Raven Tatum.(Photo: file photo)
Whitney Reid and Raven Tatum were double winners for the North Farmington girls, who swept the relays Wednesday in a 78-49 win over Groves in track and field.
Tatum won the 200-meter dash in 25.7 seconds and the long jump with a leap of 15 feet, 10 inches.
Reid won both distance races with times of 5:50 in the 1,600 meters and 12:48.6 in the 3,200 on her home track at North.
She anchored the winning 3,200 relay team, which included Skyler Spanabel, Victoria Greenbaum and Lilah Kole. The Raiders ran the race in 11:38.4.
Tatum, Tiara Williams and Mycah Lewis teamed up with AJ Williams to win the 800 relay (1:45.7) and with Chasadie Searcy to win the 400 relay (51.8).
Searcy also won the 100 hurdles (17.28), AJ Williams the 400 sprint (1:01.3) and Spanabel the 800 run (2:46.7).
The Raiders, who are 1-1 in duals, ended the meet with AJ Williams, Mariah Loving, Spanabel and Felixia Daniels winning the 1,600 relay in 4:42.3.
North had second places from Lewis, 100 dash, 12.6; Lauryn Williams, high jump, 4-0; Kelly Shrosbree, long jump, 14-51/4; Mariah Loving, 300 hurdles, 53.9; Jackie Shelton, shot put, 18-11/2; and AJ Williams, 200 dash, 25.8.
"The spinters came through again," North coach Bill Pinnell said. "Raven and AJ ran great times in the 200, pushing each other.
"Whitney is starting to come back a little (from an injury), and Skyler had a good day as well.
"The hurdlers are coming along, too. Chasadie and Mariah are doing very well and so are Raven and Kelly in the long jump.
"We still have areas we need to improve a bit, but we're on target right now."
North's team of AJ and Tiara Williams, Lewis and Tatum won the sprint medley relay with a time of 2:54.9 Saturday at the Groves Invitational.
AJ Willaims, Tatum, Spanabel and Loving were third in the 1,600 relay.
Searcy also was third in the 100 hurdles (17.94) and sixth in the 300 hurdles (56.14).
Reid ran 5:54.4 to finish fourth in the 1,600 run. North had a pair of fifth places from Tatum in the long jump (15-7) and Lewis in the 100 dash (12.99).
The Raiders were sixth in the team standings with 35 points. The top five teams were Oak Park, 118; Bloomfield Hills, 62; Harrison, 42; Notre Dame Prep, 42; and Mercy, 36.

El Harpy (arpía) es una Munición merodeadora producida por IAI, fue diseñado para atacar sistemas de radar, portando una ojiva explosiva. El Harpy ha sido exportado a varios países, incluyendo Corea del Sur, Turquía, India, y China.

Historia
En 2004, el Harpy fue foco de la atención internacional debido al esfuerzo por los Estados Unidos para restringir transferencias de armas y venta de tecnología avanzada militar a China. Vendido a China en 1994 por alrededor de US$55 millones, los UAV´s fueron devueltos a Israel en 2004 conforme al contrato para ser mejorado. Estados Unidos exigieró entonces que Israel retuviese los UAV´s y anulase el contrato. Según los Estados Unidos, el Harpy contiene tecnología estadounidense; según Israel, es un UAV de diseño y fabricación Israelita.
En 2005, los UAV´s fueron devueltos a China sin la mejora. Este incidente enfrió relaciones entre los Estados Unidos e Israel, siendo suspendido este como participante del programa Programa Joint Strike Fighter. Desde el 6 de noviembre de 2005, sin embargo, Israel ha sido admitido de nuevo en el programa.

And that doesn't even begin to cover the great experience I had outside of work at Caltech, in the LA bike scene, and around the region. I thought I would be itching to leave LA as soon as I got here, but surprisingly enough I've come to really appreciate it. I'm sad to be leaving, in fact. LA does live down to a lot of the negative stereotypes about it I've heard, but there are good people here. Wish I had more time to interact with them.
But, all that said, there is a season for everything, and this season is winding down to a close. I am fortunate to have had a summer like this, and now it's time to head back to Chapel Hill for one last lap. I'm really looking forward to making it the most intense lap ever. Hopefully there will plenty of pictures, projects, and progress to report on.
And finally, Ramadan Kareem to all.

Trade paperback edition of "The Coronation of Prince Malock" now available from Amazon and CreateSpace!
Hi, everyone! Just wanted to let y'all know that my newest novel, The Coronation of Prince Malock, is available in trade paperback edition from Amazon and CreateSpace for $19.99.
So if you've been waiting to get the trade paperback edition, now's the time to do it. Could make a GREAT Christmas present for the fantasy lover in your family or among your friends (just make sure to pick up the first three books as well, which are also available in trade paperback from Amazon and CreateSpace, if your friend or family member hasn't read them yet).
As some of you may know, back in June, I released my first novel, called The Mad Voyage of Prince Malock in ebook form on all major ebook retailers. A couple of months later, I released a trade paperback edition from CreateSpace (links to both editions under the Prince Malock World tab above).
did not come out all that well.
So I hired a cover designer to do the covers for the rest of the Prince Malock World series (you can see his work by clicking on the Prince Malock World tab above).
Very interesting and eyecatching, yes?
"A mad voyage. A deadly sea. A prince who is determined to conquer both.
No mortal has ever sailed to the end of the world and returned to tell the tale. Legend says that the southern seas are full of dangerous sea creatures, lethal storms, and monstrous entities that even the gods cannot imagine. Only a great fool or a brave hero would dare to venture into these deadly waters, much less in response to the summons of a deity he has never even met.
Prince Tojas Malock is determined to cross the southern seas, even at the cost of his own life. To answer the summons of a goddess he does not worship, Malock recruits the finest crew money can buy: an intelligent but haughty mage, a young woman with a mysterious past, a fisherman with a secret, and an aquarian woman who knows far more than she lets on. With his ragtag crew of sailors, Malock sails to the world's end, prepared to overcome whatever the southern seas may throw at him.
Personally I think this blurb is better than the old one. A lot more interesting and exciting, in my opinion, which is always a good thing when writing a sales blurb for your novel.
However, I have not yet uploaded the new cover onto all of the sites, nor have I uploaded the new blurb. Rest assured that I will get all of that done over the next day or so, including getting the new cover on the trade paperback version.
And yes, the trade paperback version of The Coronation of Prince Malock, the fourth and final book in the series, is on its way. I simply haven't received the proof from CreateSpace yet, but as soon as I get it and read through it to fix typos, formatting errors, and the like, I will definitely announce I purchase here on this blog.
Trade paperback edition of "The New Era of Prince Malock" is now available for $16.99!
I am pleased to announce that the trade paperback edition of my newest novel, The New Era of Prince Malock, is now available for sale from CreateSpace and Amazon for $16.99.
If you don't like buying from CreateSpace or Amazon, don't worry. Just go to your local bookstore and ask them to order you a copy. They should be able to do it.
Also, if you buy the trade paperback edition new from Amazon, you can get the Kindle ebook version with it absolutely FREE! Since the ebook version is $6.99, I think this is a pretty good deal if you want to get both versions but don't want to spend $24 for both of them.
Yesterday was the release of my most recent novel, The New Era of Prince Malock, in ebook form on all ebook retailers for the fair price of $6.99, which you can read about here.
In that same post, I promised to reveal the full-sized print cover today, a promise I intend to keep by writing this blog post.
Pretty cool, huh? Like the cover for The Return of Prince Malock, it was designed by the awesome (and affordable) fiverrcreator on Fiverr.
As you can probably tell by glancing at the cover*, the full price for the trade paperback edition will be $16.99 USD. Slightly pricier than the last book, but it is longer, so I feel the higher price is justified.
The trade paperback edition will be made available from CreateSpace, Amazon, and bookstores everywhere next month. I'll announce its release here when it happens, so stay tuned for that.
Also, on Halloween, I will officially reveal the title and (early) synopsis of the book I will be writing for this year's National Novel Writing Month. I will also discuss the future of the Prince Malock World series after the publication of the fourth and final book in the main series, The Coronation of Prince Malock, which is set for release in December if all goes as planned. Again, please stay tuned.
*Sorry if the back cover blurb is a bit unreadable. It's exactly the same sales blurb as the one I featured in the last post, so there's not much new to read.
I just added my newest novel, The Return of Prince Malock, to the "Prince Malock World" page above, which you can see by clicking here. You'll have to scroll down a bit to see it, but the cover, blurb, and links to all of the stores you can buy it from are all there. Also included is a short blurb for the third book in the series, The New Era of Prince Malock, which is set to be released November 2014 in ebook form and December 2014 in print form.
Pretty cool, huh? It was designed by the brilliant fiverrcreator. Highly recommend his services for any indie/self-published author looking for a skilled cover designer at an affordable price.
The print version will be available in October via CreateSpace, Amazon, and other bookstores and will be priced at $15.99 USD. Can't wait to hold it in my hands.
Anyway, that's all for now. Though if you want to be informed about the release of The New Era of Prince Malock when it comes out, you can subscribe to my newsletter HERE, where you will be the first to know about all of my new releases before anyone else.


Oh my love is a fine bay mare who bears the name of Bramble.
And how I wish she'll come to me, her promise to deliver.
She always has to leave again, for feeding reasons chiefly.
I bite her and she bites me back, tho' we're not 50 greys!
But size is not important here, and this she understands.
But I know that she loves me – you can say just what you will!

Coachella double-weekend music festival is slowly creeping up on the calendar. Unfortunately, I'm one of the many people that missed out on the tickets that seemed to get sold out in mere minutes. On the fortunate side, I have this blog where I can virtual bring you guys into my hopes and dreams of the things I would wear if I was going. I wouldn't normally wear a romper but at a music festival such as Coachella, a one piece is uncomplicated and functional for being outside hours on end. In my wishful state of mind I really let my hippie freak flag fly.
Are you going to Coachella this year?


ProShare's annual report analyses the trends and participation rates in UK Save As You Earn (SAYE) and Share Incentive Plan (SIP) schemes.
The average employee monthly contribution was £158.18, and was the fifth consecutive year of increased contributions.
Take up of three-year SAYE schemes has increased from 83% in 2015 to 86% in 2016.
Most companies continue to offer the maximum option price discount for SAYE. In 2016, 213 (76%) companies offered the maximum 20% discount, compared to 253 companies (80%) in 2015.
The most popular combination of SIP share elements offered remains 'Partnership and Matching Shares only' followed by 'Partnership Shares only'.
SAYE has been around for 37 years, and SIP for 17 years. ProShare believes that the endurance of these schemes is a testament to the effectiveness of them as vehicles for saving and investing, as well as improving the distribution of financial gains across the workforce with their tax savings.


In At Your Own Risk, Derek Jarman weaves poetry, prose, photographs and newspaper extracts into a rich tapestry of gay experience in the UK. The buttoned-up repression of the fifties and sixties makes way for liberation and free love in the seventies, only to be chased by the terror and pain of HIV/AIDS. This is Jarman at his passionate, polemic best, written when he was already ill with HIV and in the midst of the moral panic surrounding the AIDS crisis. Defiant and furious, he not only celebrates his own sexuality but skewers wider society for its brazen homophobia.
Reissued here 25 years after Jarman's death, At Your Own Risk remains a singular work. It is a powerful reminder of how far we have come and how much further we have left to go.
"If there is any such thing as the literary equivalent of an incendiary bomb, then this is it... His semtex-packed sentences are welcome thunderflashes of dissent in the grey drizzle of a dispirited political climate"
"<i>At Your Own Risk</i> gives the reader access to something that is hard to articulate, the near asphyxiating pain, anxiety and rage which many gay people have felt living under the physical, legal and cultural attacks of the last few years"
"For all his anger, Jarman never seems brutalised. He retains his humanity and good humour. His is a wonderfully garrulous, mercurial, polymathic daemon"

Change has come again to ICD-9 diagnostic codes
OBG Manag. 2011 November;23(11):51-54
Melanie Witt, RN, CPC, COBGC, MA
Ms. Witt is an independent coding and documentation consultant and former program manager, department of coding and nomenclature, American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
The author reports no financial relationships relevant to this article.
New codes were unveiled on October 1 to report elective cesarean delivery, ART pregnancy, and vaginal mesh complications, to name a few
New code for elective cesarean delivery before 39 weeks
When vaginal mesh complications arise
Did you know? When October 1 rolled around a short time ago, so did new codes for you to learn in the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM).
If you consider that unpleasant news for your billing efforts, I also have what I consider good news: The 2012 fiscal year is the final year for changes to ICD-9-CM codes: On October 1, 2013, the nation switches to 10th Revision (that is, ICD-10-CM) codes. The National Center for Health Statistics has indicated that the only changes to ICD-9 codes permitted from now on are ones describing new diseases that require immediate reporting during this transition/freeze period.
This last set of changes isn't as massive as what we saw in previous years. Nevertheless, the changes certainly enhance the ability of ObGyn practices to report the reasons for patient encounters.
The major gyn change this year involves reporting vaginal mesh complications. There are several new obstetric codes, too, to enhance reporting of cesarean delivery and management of high-risk OB conditions.
The new codes were added to the national code set on October 1. As in prior years, there is no grace period.
Changes to obstetric codes
ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID ANTIBODY
Antiphospholipid syndrome and lupus anticoagulant are associated with complications of pregnancy that include fetal loss, fetal growth restriction, preeclampsia, thrombosis, and autoimmune thrombocytopenia. Until now, the obstetrician reporting 649.3x (Coagulation defects complicating pregnancy, childbirth, or the puerperium), had only two secondary code options to further describe the patient's condition: 795.79, used to report a finding of antiphospholipid antibody in a blood specimen, and 289.81, antiphospholipid antibody with hypercoagulable state.
A new code, 286.53 (Antiphospholipid antibody with hemorrhagic disorder), provides a third option when reporting 649.3x.
CHEMICAL PREGNANCY AND BLIGHTED OVUM
Fertility clinics and physicians who specialize in the use of assisted reproductive technology requested a code to identify patients who have what is referred to (imprecisely) as a "false-positive pregnancy," "chemical pregnancy," or "biochemical pregnancy." These terms do not, however, accurately describe a pregnancy achieved using hormone stimulation or other such "chemical" methods.
In some cases, of course, a woman's pregnancy test comes back positive, indicating a serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level, but, when she is followed with ultrasonography, no fetus is present—in effect, she has had an early miscarriage. But there has been no ICD-9 code to use at this stage that discriminates between confirmed ectopic pregnancy and confirmed miscarriage—only a code for a laboratory finding.
To improve the specificity of coding, therefore, and to track such pregnancies, existing code 631 (Other abnormal product of conception) has been expanded and divided in two:
631.0 Inappropriate rise (decline) of quantitative hCG in early pregnancy
631.8 Other abnormal products of conception
Documentation by the physician that signals that 631.0 should be reported might include a reference to biochemical pregnancy, chemical pregnancy, or an inappropriate level of quantitative hCG for gestational age in early pregnancy. For 631.8 to be reported, documentation might mention such findings as a "blighted ovum" or "fleshy mole."
Note: Because of this code expansion, the three-digit code 631 will no longer be a valid code for billing purposes.
ELECTIVE CESAREAN DELIVERY BEFORE 39 WEEKS' GESTATION
ACOG requested new codes for elective cesarean delivery before 39 weeks' gestation—a scenario that is one of the new markers of quality of care. Whereas ICD-9 has two diagnosis codes that mention cesarean delivery (654.2x, [Previous cesarean delivery not otherwise specified] and 669.71 [Cesarean delivery, without mention of indication]), neither code captures a case in which a woman presents in labor at 37 to 38 weeks' gestation and the physician determines that it is best to deliver at that time rather than try to take measures that will forestall delivery until the 39th week.
Although ICD-9 already also has a code for early onset of delivery (644.21), it applies only to pregnancies before 37 completed weeks.
The new codes are:
649.81 Onset (spontaneous) of labor after 37 completed weeks of gestation but before 39 completed weeks' gestation, with delivery by (planned) cesarean section, delivered, with or without mention of antepartum condition
649.82 Onset (spontaneous) of labor after 37 completed weeks of gestation but before 39 completed weeks' gestation, with delivery by (planned) cesarean section, delivered, with mention of postpartum complication
Note: The new code has two options for a fifth digit:
Reporting a fifth digit 1 indicates that the patient may, or may not, have had a complication in the antepartum period that is related to early onset of labor.
Reporting a fifth digit 2 indicates that the patient developed a complication after delivery (but before discharge) that is related to the delivery.
Is private ObGyn practice on its way out?

Q: Showing that the intersection of a cylinder and a plane is an ellipse One of the questions in my homework was:
"Show that the curve $\vec{r}(t)=\cos t \vec{i}+\sin t \vec{j}+(1-\cos t)\vec{k}$ is an ellipse by showing that it is the intersection of a cylinder and a plane. Find equations for the cylinder and the plane."
It is easy to see that the curve is the intersection of the cylinder $x^2 + y^2 =1$ and the plane $x+z=1$.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but the question makes it sound like the hard part is showing that the curve is the intersection of a cylinder and a plane and that once they are found it is obvious that the curve is an ellipse. I have no idea how I can prove that the curve is an ellipse. Since it is not parallel to the $xy$ plane (or any other "conventional" planes), I am having a hard time showing that it satisfies the equation of an ellipse.
Edit: I should add that I have not taken a linear algebra course yet, so please bear that in mind when posting a solution/hint. (I'm only adding this because many of the multivariable calculus hints online assume I am familiar with linear algebra.)

A: Sometimes a figure really helps craft the algebra:

A: You need to rotate coordiate system as $z_1 = (x+z)/\sqrt2$, $x_1=(x-z)/\sqrt2$, $y_1=y$, in this coordinate system the equations are:
$$
x+z=z_1\sqrt2=1,\\
x^2+y^2 = 2(x_1+z_1)^2 +y_1^2=1
$$
In the plane $z_1=1/\sqrt2$, the equation of intersection reads:
$$
2\left(x_1+\frac1{\sqrt2}\right)^2+y_1^2=1,
$$
which is a general equation for ellipse.

1. Counseling is not a sign of weakness. It actually shows strength to be open to exploring difficult places within yourself.
2. Counseling is much more than what we used to think as "crazy people" needing help. It actually helps to alleviate those things in which drive us crazy.
3. There is confidentiality in your participation. Only those who you tell will know you go to counseling.
4. The counselor is a neutral party who can share what might be best for you without any agendas other than to see you succeed.
5. Counseling doesn't have to be just talk. It can be a series of activities, support in the community, or advocacy.
6. Even though you might come to talk about your family, friends or co-workers, this doesn't reflect poorly on them. This is an opportunity for you to share what is happening with them and be able to learn new strategies to work with them.
7. The idea that things have to get worse before they get better just isn't true. If you have experienced a trauma in your life, talking about it will not be worse than what you have already endured. If you survived the trauma, you will survive sharing about it.
8. Counseling can be a fun and invigorating experience as you will learn new ways of finding happiness and laughter.

I'am using the Twitterservice on my MBpro for a while know but after a reboot yesterday there is nothing in my timeline anymore. The frequency was set at every hour and i haven't made any changes in the last few day's/weeks, although my timeline wasn't showing Tweets every hour anymore; so that's why i rebooted yesterday. By sending out a test tweet my MBpro is telling me it's ok, but nothing happens at my Twitter account. Any suggestions please? Tried to contact Twitter, but they are not responding.
I don't know how the restore it, maybe I have to make a new connection with Twitter on my MBpro and try that. But if anyone haves a solution, please let me know.
Twitter works just fine on my meteobridge pro.
Maybe do the twitter Authentication again, you can give that as a tip.
Thanks for your reaction an suggestion, I've already tried that without success. Maybe I must cancel Meteobridge first completely from my Twitter account and the try it again. At least I know now it has nothing to do with the latest update from Twitter. You're also using the latest firmware from MBpro?
This should be fixed with just released update. Please give it a try and report back.
Yes, the tests and fix Boris made last night did the trick. Thank you guys for helping me out, especially Boris of course. Keep up the good work!

Re: Amber Leeanne Dubois #2 1/15/10 -
They are talking about this on Fox News this morning and talking about a possible link to Amber. Prayers for the families.
I will ALWAYS stand with the girls, Natalee and Caylee, forever.
I have been trying to back away from these cases because my family thinks I have become obsessed. With all that is going on right now it is impossible! I am not convinced AT ALL at this point that John Albert Gardner had anything to do with Amber. I guess maybe I have read too many books and watched too many shows and movies about this. I find it odd that if it were him, he would wait so long before his next attack. If he did take Amber, as far as we know based on everything that we have read, he did not try again until possibly December 2009. That would be 8 full months. I am thinking that maybe he had a recent break-up in the last few months which may have spurred him on to start attacking in December. I am praying that he was not involved with Amber. Please pray for Amber's family right now. Needless to say, they are going through *&*&^!

We don't know if there were any other victims or not. There are a lot of missing people in the riverside county area as well as the san diego area. Plus this man was registered at an address in Escondido, 5 min or so away from the high school when Amber went missing. It is too early to say one way or another if he had anything to do with Amber or not but I think it is the best lead in a long time.
Sex Offender In King Case Might Be Linked To Dubois Case
Chelsea King Reported Missing Thursday; Search Continues
SAN DIEGO -- A registered sex offender behind bars Monday on suspicion of murder and rape in connection with the disappearance last week of a 17-year-old Poway High senior might be linked to at least two other incidents including the disappearance of Amber Dubois.
Chelsea King has been missing since Thursday, when she did not return home from a run at Rancho Bernardo Community Park.
John Albert Gardner III, 30, of Lake Elsinore, was taken into custody Sunday afternoon near a restaurant bar in south Escondido, San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore said.
The arrest prompted Kelly and Brent King, the parents of Chelsea King, to release the following statement Sunday evening:
"Nothing will change for us until our beautiful daughter, Chelsea King, comes home. We will continue searching for her, and we ask that all of you do the same until she's back with us. She is an extraordinary daughter and also someone who is committed to her community. She has huge dreams and wants to change the world. Hundreds of people are working alongside us to make sure she has that chance, and we are deeply grateful. She and our entire family need your help now for Chelsea's safe return. We thank law enforcement for pursuing all avenues to bring this situation to an expedient, positive outcome. We will be posting regular updates from our family on Facebook page: Chelsea King Search Center."
Kelly & Brent King, and family
Physical evidence led authorities to Gardner, who was questioned by homicide detectives, Gore said. The evidence has not been described by law enforcement but Chelsea's mother told news stations Monday morning that her daughter's underwear was found in the Lake Hodges area.
According to the sheriff's Web site, Gardner was booked into San Diego Central Jail on suspicion of rape by force and first-degree murder. Nonetheless, Gore told Good Morning America that law enforcement and volunteers would search for Chelsea Monday, hoping to find her alive.
Paul Levikow, spokesman for the District Attorney's Office, said Gardner was scheduled to be arraigned in a downtown San Diego courtroom Wednesday afternoon.
Gardner is a registered sex offender listed on the Megan's Law Web site, which indicates he lives in Lake Elsinore and committed lewd and lascivious acts on a child under 14 years old. Gore said investigators searched Gardner's Lake Elsinore home and other addresses prior to arresting him.
One of those addresses searched was a townhouse on Matinal Road near West Bernardo Drive, where Gardner was staying with his parents. The townhouse is about a mile from the park where Chelsea likes to run.
Gore said there was "a strong possibility" Gardner may be connected to an attack on a female jogger at the same park on Dec. 27, The San Diego Union- Tribune reported.
He said authorities were also investigating whether Gardner was connected to the disappearance of Amber Dubois, who was last seen walking to Escondido High School just over a year ago. Dubois, who was 14 at the time, has not been found. Dubois' last known location near Escondido High School is just six minutes from an address connected to John Gardner.
The search for Chelsea expanded Monday beyond the Rancho Bernardo park and nearby Lake Hodges, where search teams have been looking since she disappeared Thursday.
"There are several searches going on around the county," Gore said. "We are going to refocus some of our search efforts."
Chelsea's parents, Brent and Kelly King, reported her missing Thursday evening when she did not come home from a run at the park. Brent King found her BMW, with her cell phone and iPod inside, in the park parking lot later that night.
Hundreds of volunteers and law enforcement personnel have been searching for her since then. Several agencies pitched in, searching the Lake Hodges area by foot, air and boat.
The search for the teen has also generated a lot of traffic online to a Facebook page and the Web site findchelsea.com.
Investigators looked for clues on Chelsea's cell phone, which was found in her car, and her home computer.
The Poway High School senior is a straight-A student and a member of the San Diego Youth Symphony.

Has Lake Hodges been searched for Amber?
http://www.umapper.com/maps/view/id/57373/
I so hope that Amber is still alive somewhere. But I am wondering if LE knows something. I was surprised to hear the two cases linked so quickly.
I don't know if Lake Hodges has been searched, I don't think so. Remember they spent a bit of time wondering if she ran away.
I hope Carrie gets herself on the news. She needs to be out there right now making sure everyone thinks of Amber as well. I am really concerned this man took Amber. Let me go grab the article that Norrose posted about what happened in 2000
Suspect in King's disappearance molested 13-year-old girl in 2000
Gardner was sentenced to six years in prison.
RANCHO BERNARDO — The registered sex offender arrested in the disappearance of Poway teenager Chelsea King was convicted 10 years ago of forcibly molesting a 13-year-old neighbor girl.
John Albert Gardner III, now 30, pleaded guilty in May 2000 to two counts of forcible lewd act on a child and false imprisonment. He was sentenced in September of that year to six years in prison.
Court records show that a psychiatrist who interviewed Gardner said he showed no remorse for his actions. "There is no known treatment for an individual that sexually assaults girls and does not admit to it in any way," said Dr. Matthew Carroll. "The fact that the defendant takes no responsibility whatsoever for his actions makes him an extremely poor candidate for any sexual offender treatment."
Gardner, who listed his home address in Lake Elsinore on the Megan's Law sex offender registry, was arrested at 4:20 p.m. Sunday in King's disappearance in front of a Mexican restaurant and bar called Hernandez Hide-A-Way in the small community of Del Dios on the west shore of Lake Hodges near Escondido, San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore said.
Numerous pieces of physical evidence led investigators to Gardner, Gore said. He would not elaborate, stating the investigation is ongoing and that authorities are still trying to find Chelsea, who went to Rancho Bernardo Community Park for a run and never came home.
An arraignment has been set for Wednesday in San Diego Superior Court.
The mood at Poway High School was somber Monday morning as students and staff reacted to news that Gardner had been arrested on suspicion of murder and rape in connection with the disappearance of King, a 17-year-old classmate.
"We're still hoping for the best, but we're fearing the worst," said school counselor Traci Barker-Ball.
At the school, students and staff wore blue shirts to represent the color of Chelsea's eyes and tied blue ribbons around light poles on campus.
Citing the "very difficult and emotional weekend," principal Scott Fisher addressed students over the loudspeaker Monday morning, thanking the students for participating in the search efforts.
"I don't know that I've ever been so proud of the school," he said, his voice cracking at times with emotion. "Students have just been out there caring for one another, and that's major during a difficult time."
According to court records in Gardner's previous conviction, Gardner saw the victim and a 14-year-old friend waiting for a school bus on March 16, 2000, and he offered them a ride. Both girls accepted the offer, but the younger girl also decided to go with Gardner to watch movies at his home.
Gardner started giving the 13-year-old a massage and kissing her as the two were watching "Patch Adams" alone in his townhouse. He then picked her up, placed her on the couch and began rubbing himself against her genital area.
The girl protested, but Gardner persisted, according to the documents.
He brought her upstairs to a bedroom where he got on top of her and continued rubbing and touching her. He also tried to take her pants and underwear off, despite her objections.
Eventually, Gardner said, "You know what, I can't take this anymore," and hit the girl repeatedly in the face.
"He had his hand on my mouth and I couldn't breath(e), and I got pretty fuzzy after he hit me, and I'm not sure if I blacked out," the girl testified during a preliminary hearing, which is usually the first opportunity prosecutors have to present witnesses in a criminal case.
Wearing only one shoe on and holding her pants up, she was eventually able to run out the door to a neighbor's house across the street.
Gardner got into his vehicle and drove away. He was found at a nearby gas station and arrested. Gardner told police he had picked the girl up that morning and dropped her off in front of her apartment complex at 8:40 a.m. He claimed he was innocent and blamed the victim's mother for the beating.
On Sunday, Sheriff Gore said there was "a strong possibility" Gardner may be connected to an attack on a lone female jogger in Rancho Bernardo Community Park the morning of Dec. 27.
He said investigators also were looking into the possibility of a connection between Gardner and Amber Dubois, who disappeared while walking to Escondido High School on Feb. 13, 2009. Amber was 14 at the time.
"We're leaving no stone unturned," Gore said.
Chelsea's parents reported their daughter missing at about 6 p.m. Thursday when she failed to come home from a run at the Rancho Bernardo Community Park. Brent King found his daughter's locked car in the parking lot at the park.
A missing-person search has continued round-the-clock since then.
At a two-story, tan-colored townhome on Matinal Road in the Westwood neighborhood of Rancho Bernardo Monday morning, extinguished police flares were the only clue that the place had been searched by police overnight.
The dwelling is close to Rancho Bernardo park. Neighbors said Gardner's mother and stepfather have lived there for about a decade. They said Gardner showed up occasionally and would say hello to nearby residents as he came and went.
"I couldn't sleep at all last night," said Jimmy Ashker, who has lived across the street since 1988. He said he recognized Gardner right away when police showed him a photo of the suspect last night.
"I kept playing things over and over in my head. I was just wondering if there was one thing I overlooked that could have made a difference" and led to earlier intervention by law enforcement, Ashker said Monday morning.
Upon hearing a knock on the front door, a man inside the Gardner home said: "Can you get off the property, please?"
In Lake Elsinore, neighbors on Gillette Street — a hillside tract of blue-collar homes overlooking the lake — said Gardner sometimes visited a house owned by his grandmother. They didn't see any signs of criminal activity there and were surprised by Sunday's law-enforcement search of the property.
A neighbor said officers were especially interested in a shed behind the two-story house.

Police believe Gardner, who was arrested in 2000 for committing lewd and lascivious acts on a child under 14, may also be connected to the disappearance of Amber DuBois, a 14-year-old who disappeared near San Diego on her way to school in February 2009.
DuBois' father said he and his family have not been contacted by police, but he has been in regular contact with King's parents and have helped organize the search for King.
"It's very emotional," said Maurice DuBois who has been briefing search teams and offering support to the King family. "It brings us right back to the first week Amber went missing, all the chaos and fear."
At the time of Amber's disappearance, DuBois said police never mentioned Gardner by name, but he was told "that law enforcement had checked all the sex offenders living in the proximity."
He said he hadn't met with law enforcement yet to discuss if Gardner had been questioned last year or if he might be connected to both cases.
Police said Gardner may also be connected to an attack on a young woman along the park's same jogging path where King went missing. That jogger was able to fend off her assailant by hitting him in the face with her elbow and escaping.
The previous article I posted links to an interview with Chelsea kinds parents and the sherriff. In this interview he says the are going back 18 months to see if there are more victims. 18 months? Wow..
IntegraScan Denied the Ability to Speak to Detectives Regarding Chelsea King Abduction
IntegraScan.com has valuable information regarding the actual address of John Albert Gardner III, the suspect arrested for the disappearance of Chelsea King in San Diego County,California.
Brocton, NY (PRWEB) March 1, 2010 -- IntegraScan.com, a background check company, contacted the San Diego County Sheriff's Department this morning, March 1, 2010, regarding the Chelsea King and John Albert Gardner III case with valuable information on the current address of John Gardner III, but were denied the opportunity to provide this information to detectives working the case.
After hearing about Chelsea King's disappearance February 25th and the arrest of the sex offender, John Gardner III on Sunday (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/02/man-arrested-in-san-diego-teens-disappearance-her-whereabouts-still-unknown.html), Integra Scan performed a search of their system for information on Gardner. The San Diego County Sheriff William Gore reported to the Associated Press that they arrested John Gardner III of Lake Elsinore, California. Lake Elsinore is located 75 miles north of where Chelsea King disappeared. However, the address the IntegraScan database has Gardner living at is in Escondido, California, a mere eight miles from the Rancho Bernardo Community Park where Chelsea King was jogging and disappeared.
When Integra Scan called the San Diego County Sheriff's Department to report Gardner's real address, they were denied the opportunity to speak with a detective by the operator. After questioning the operator about whether or not they were still searching for Chelsea King, the operator confirmed that they were, but that it was not possible to speak to a detective regarding the case. This press release is a plea to the Sheriff to please contact us. We will gladly provide you with the information we have.
In addition, Integra Scan has a full address history on Gardner dating back to 2000, as well as four photos, while the Office of the Attorney General only has one photo and the incorrect address for Gardner. The address history that Integra Scan has also shows that Gardner actually lived in Rancho Bernardo in 2000, which suggests that he is very familiar with the Rancho Bernardo Community Park and area.
The San Diego Sheriff's Department has stated that they have valuable evidence linking Gardner to the case, but we feel they are looking in the wrong location for Chelsea King. It is highly likely that additional evidence, and perhaps Chelsea King, could be located at this current address.
About IntegraScan.com: Information regarding John Albert Gardner III was provided by IntegraScan.com a background check and people locate company.

I wonder where the address is? How could they not speak to investigators? Sheesh transfer them already!

John Gardner has a "comfort zone". He chooses his victims where he lives.
I think Edward or somebody here mentioned John Gardner in a post.. I guess if it says they molest kids under 14 that doesn't mean they always molest kids under 14, maybe they need to change that, that is too narrow to me.
Did the cell phone ping in Amber's disapperance as well as his last known address in Escondido match up ??
I mean DID he live close to that ping ?
Quote from: Edward on March 01, 2010, 05:41:42 PM
according to google maps, from deer creek spring road, I think that is where the cell tower is right? So from there to 1050 ROCK SPRINGS RD # 113 ,Escondido it is 4.7 miles, under the 5 mile radius.
GARDNER,JOHN ALBERT
1050 ROCK SPRINGS RD # 113 ,Escondido,CA 92026
LE has been very vague about the "ping" only that it was North Escondido
I hope we know something soon - this has just ripped everything wide open again...
~Thank you for helping to break through the darkness by being one of the lights that will bring our Amber home~ www.AmberLeeanneDubois.com

Hi Ampersand, it is good too "see" you. Please know we are all praying for Amber and your entire family.
I think somehow the cell tower was narrowed down to one on deer creek, it was posted on here somewhere.

Environmentalists are concerned the provincial government's planned review of the Endangered Species act will further weaken protections for vulnerable species in Ontario.
Rod Phillips, Ontario's Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, said the review is part of their commitment to a made-in-Ontario environment plan that was launched in November 2018.
"We are consulting to improve the effectiveness of our environmental protections to ensure a balanced approach between a healthy environment and a healthy economy," he said.
The focus of the review will be on improving the government's ability to enforce regulations, ensuring the species at risk in Ontario list is based on current science, streamlining approvals and increasing transparency, the ministry said.
Reykia Fick, a forest campaigner for Greenpeace Canada, is concerned the review is a pretext for weakening the protections for endangered species.
Fick is asking the public to respond "quickly and decisively" to the government's move.
"If we don't act now, hundreds of endangered animals, plants and other species in this province could die out in the coming years," she said.
A comprehensive update to Ontario's Endangered Species Act was originally passed in 2007 by Dalton McGuinty's Liberal government. It was amended in 2013 to exempt the logging industry from the requirements.
Mike Schreiner, Guelph MPP and leader of the Green Party of Ontario, hoped this review would result in strengthening the act.
"At one time Ontario had the gold standard for an endangered species act and the Liberal government created a whole bunch of exemptions that significantly weakened the act," he said.
The Ford government's proposal is billed as a "10th-year review" of the 2007 version of the Act. The Ministry is asking for consultation from members of the public, Indigenous communities, conservation organizations, and businesses.
There are 243 species currently listed as "at risk" and under threat from habitat loss, climate change, disease and other factors.
The list of species under threat includes dozens of plants, mollusks, insects and fish. Larger endangered species in Ontario include the barn owl, for which a recovery strategy was launched in 2010, the golden eagle and the mountain lion.
The Algonquin wolf, caribou, gray fox, polar bear, and the wolverine are among the animals listed as threatened in Ontario.

What is Cloud Computing? – MacCog. grease your digital wheels.
You are here: Home / Blog / What is Cloud Computing?
Computers like your laptop, while convenient, still can't be in all places at once and can cause major problems when lost, stolen or just crashed. If you've ever used a web browser like Safari or Firefox to check your email, you're already using "Cloud Computing"…. it's just a place to keep stuff… in the cloud! Imagine having all of your computer files, settings, pictures, music, EVERYTHING… stored in a place you can access 24/7 anywhere there is a computer with an internet connection (which is increasingly just sitting in your pocket all of the time). If you use gmail, MobileMe,YahooMail or even AOL, you're already taking advantage of this… but that's just the beginning….
The future contains much more use of computers in the "cloud". Besides email, you can already keep your notebook up there with Evernote, your videos up there withYouTube, your documents up there with Google Docs, your photos up there with Flickror MobileMe, your desktop up there with SugarSync or perhaps most importantly, you can backup your files automatically to Mozy or CrashPlan. Man, you can EVEN keep your snail mail up in the cloud with EarthClass Mail! All of these web based services are examples of Web 2.0 and a telltale sign of that is their use of Cloud Computing.
It's pretty amazing the abilities we have to be mobile in today's day and age. Enjoy it, folks, you're living in a new age!
PS: Steven Fry, a great comedian and gadget geek wrote a great article recently on this same topic. That article inspired this one, so check it out.
UPDATE 6/13/09: I just read an article at the NY Times about the data centers that are required to keep our lives in the cloud. It's a fascinating read if you're interested!

Eli Tomac's second-half push propels him to No. 2 finish in motocross series
By The Journal
Monday, Sep 13, 2021 7:15 Updated Monday, Sep. 13, 2021 7:58
Eli Tomac of Cortez on Saturday won one of two motos at Hangtown in Sacramento, California, to move into second place overall as the 2021 Lucas Oil AMA Motocross series concluded.
Kawasaki Racing
Cortez rider benefits from strong riding, Roczen crash
Eli Tomac of Cortez on Saturday capped a comeback season with a fourth-place finish and a win at Hangtown to overtake Ken Roczen in the motocross standings and finish second overall.
Dylan Ferrandis, the rookie sensation in the 450cc class, won the 2021 title.
Entering Hangtown Raceway in Sacramento, California, nine points behind Roczen, Tomac set up a strong race day with a fourth-place finish in Moto 1. He started the race in fifth place and passed Christian Craig in Lap 2. Roczen grabbed the early lead over Ferrandis. Cooper Webb was in third.
In Lap 6, Tomac raced nearly 2 seconds faster than Webb and passed him for third. Then, with the leaders in his sights, Tomac laid down the fastest lap of the race in Lap 7, at 2 minutes, 14.5 seconds – nearly 2 seconds faster than Ferrandis' time.
His charge was short-lived, however. He crashed in Lap 8, and finished fourth after Webb regained third place. Ferrandis overtook Roczen for the lead and eventual victory in Lap 10.
"I felt like I was gonna be able to catch those guys, and of course just missed my one main line," Tomac said in a post-race interview. "And I washed my front end out."
He also said he injured his thumb in the crash, which hindered his speed after he remounted his bike.
Eli Tomac prepares to race.
Part 2 of the race day story
Tomac got his break in Moto 2.
He avoided a crash at the first turn, which snagged Ferrandis and Roczen. Ferrandis dropped to 23rd place after Lap 1, and Roczen dropped out of the race altogether.
Tomac finished Lap 1 in fourth place and passed Max Anstie for third in Lap 3 while Craig and Webb raced for the lead.
It was the green light that he'd been waiting for.
Webb and Tomac passed Craig in Lap 5 and engaged in a duel for first. Tomac posted his fastest lap in Lap 8, and passed Webb for the lead and eventual victory with seven laps to go.
Ferrandis ran perhaps the most striking comeback race of the season. After crashing in the first turn, Ferrandis started Lap 2 in 23rd place. But he charged into sixth place in Lap 5 and into third in the 14th of 15 laps.
Ferrandis' combination of a first and third in the two motos gave him the overall victory, his sixth of the 12-race season. Tomac was second overall, with a fourth and first, and Webb was third, with a third and second.
Tomac's victory in the second moto gave him his sixth moto win of the season and his third since winning the second of two motos in the Ironman in Crawfordsville, Indiana, on Aug. 28.
It also capped the end of a surge that gained momentum in the second half of the series.
The second half of the season
Since racing in Washougal, Washington, on July 24, Tomac was on the moto podium nine out of 12 tries. In the first half, he was on the podium just four times.
He started the second half in fourth place overall, two points behind Justin Barcia at 207-205, and 25 points behind runner-up Roczen at 230-205. Ferrandis led with 262 points.
This season, Tomac won two of the 12 races and finished on the podium 13 times. His average finish during the first half of the season was 5.5. In the second half, he cut that average to 2.6, for an average of 4.1 for the entire season.
Ferrandis, the rookie for Yamaha who made the leap to the 450cc class this year, won eight of the season's 24 motos, and finished on the podium 22 times. His average finish was 2.1.
Roczen won seven motos and was on the podium 15 times. His average finish for the season was 6.1.
Tomac can't comment until Oct. 1, when his contract with Monster Energy Kawasaki expires, but insiders say he'll join the Star Racing Yamaha team. The move would give Star Yamaha Ferrandis and Tomac, the top two finishers in the 2021 AMA Motocross series.
On Saturday, Tomac said he had mixed feelings about leaving the Kawasaki "family," and though he and the team were on good speaking terms, he was "pretty emotional."
"It was tough that way today, leaving the track, but, um you know, it's this life-goes-on kind of thing, and that's all you can do."
Tomac's move helped set in motion a series of changes.
Jason Anderson of Albuquerque, who had talked with Star Yamaha, likely will take Tomac's place on Monster Energy Kawasaki.
Aaron Plessinger, on the way out at Star Racing Yamaha, likely will go to Red Bull KTM, and Malcolm Stewart has signed with Rockstar Energy Husqvarna.
The Monster Energy Supercross season begins Jan. 8 in Anaheim, California, and Tomac, who first raced in 2010, will be there.
"I still have the itch for chasing green flags and checkered flags and being on the start line," Tomac said Saturday. "I still like to do it, so that's it: I still like to do it. I still enjoy trying to win races and trying to be the best guy. So, um, that's why I'm still around. "
