I mentioned previously that the Lord led us to begin again with a Church in our home, and we made the glorious discovery that we were… home. I suppose not everyone is cut out for an expression of Church as a living-room full of people. But, it seemed to work especially well for us. It sort of felt like coming home after a hard day at the office with a lot of stress, and being able to slip into those favorite pajamas. You know the ones. They are just a little too big, but they feel ohhhh sooo good! Yeah…well…anyway, you know what I mean. Through the many years of ministry up to this point, it was as though I was searching for a more pure form of expression for the Church, the Bride of Christ. Somehow, sitting in a building, lined up in rows, and staring at the back of people's heads had never been my idea of Church, and I'm not sure it is what Jesus had in mind either. Come on! Do you really think Jesus got all excited and virtually salivated at Caesarea Philippi, during Peter's great confession, because his Church would be housed in multi-million dollar edifices, and be promoting live-streaming conferences on 'how to be happier in five easy lessons'? As I have reviewed the most sacred moments of my walk with Christ in the last forty years, the times, when I have sensed the Presence most have been those, where the programming has been kept to the minimum, and people have been allowed to express their passion for God. Now that is not to say that a spiritual free-for-all is the answer either. I've been in those kinds of meetings as well..and…trust me…they ain't fun neither. In fact, I have had the most spiritually, meaningful experiences of my life in, what some might think, polar opposite venues, a mountain-top in Haiti and an Episcopal Church. The key was then, and always will be the Presence of God in the midst. But…I digress.
Once Kathi and I determined we were going to start all over and try to get to know our Lord we needed a frame of reference. While living in Sarasota, and during the last year there, we were privileged to attend a gathering of believers outside of the city. They had taken the name, THE CHURCH AT THE BARN. They now actually meet in a 'barn'…well…it's a pretty sophisticated barn, but a barn nonetheless. However, prior to the building of the barn, they met in the living-room of our friend, Steve Coder. It was while attending a number of these services that I was arrested by the beauty, and power in simplicity. I recall one time specifically, sitting in that living-room with about 30-40 brothers and sisters in Christ. We sat around the wall in a circle with the younger children sitting 'crisscross-applesauce'. Get the picture? Suddenly, Steve called on a twelve-year-old boy to sing. He stood and sang acapella a song I had never heard about how much he loved Jesus. The tears streamed down his cheeks as he sang. That was great, but then I looked around the room and saw a little four-year old girl looking intently at this young man singing with tears running down her cheeks. Once the song was complete Steve said he felt someone needed to respond to this song in prayer. The same four-year-old girl began to pray in a most powerful way. I had never heard most adults pray with as much conviction and knowledge of Christ. At that point I remember thinking that Steve was sitting on a gold mine of true spirituality. I recalled the words of Dr. Francis Schaffer, when he defined 'True Spirituality as being perfectly content at any given moment and always thanking God…'
We carried this dream in our hearts as we began to meet in our home. This period of our lives was to last nearly 3 ½ years. but the residual effects continue to influence us today. It remains to this day the most rewarding type of ministry we have ever done. It also was to be one of the greatest times of testing and lessons on faith we have ever had. You see, our congregation consisted of our three children and their families (thanks kids, so much, for your love and support), and a small handful of other seeking, saints. Unfortunately, there was not enough finance coming in to support us. During this transition time Steve Coder had asked me to be on the Board of Hand to the Plow Ministries, which is a para-church, missions work, specifically started to minister to the needs of the suffering people of Haiti. Now, Hand to the Plow is ministering in numerous places throughout the world. Additionally, Steve asked, if I would be a Regional Representative for the ministry, which I did. I was excited to be a part of this ministry, and it has been some of the most personally rewarding ministry I have done. Because of this mission work, I sent out letters to friends, family, and churches asking for financial support. Although for those 3 ½ years, we did not have a regular salary, the Lord marvelously provided for us, and we were never late with one bill, and even paid our rent in advance most of the time.
There were times, however, when, we would come right down to the 'wire', so to speak, and God would make us trust him for his provision. On one such occasion, I was very concerned about having adequate finance for our needs. I was praying one morning about it, and the Lord spoke to me through my daily journaling and said, 'I know you are worried about the money to pay your bills. Don't! I have sent three angels, and that will be enough.' I closed my journal and tried to rest in the security of his promise. Later that same day a single mother stopped by our house, unexpectedly, and handed us several dollars. She said the Lord told her to give us the money. In the afternoon a friend came to help Kathi wallpaper the bathroom and said that she and her husband felt led to give us some money. That same evening I received an email from Steve Coder, and at the end he said, 'Oh, by the way, we took up an offering for you and Kathi Sunday and we're sending you a check for 342.00." The Lord said we were not to worry. He had sent three angels and that would be enough. It was enough. All bills were paid and our faith was filled to the brim. He doesn't always answer so miraculously, but he did that time, and that experience, along with the promises in his word, have become the foundation for a deeper faith in a loving, caring, providing God.

The definition of the mission phases is given in CATALOG/MISSION.CAT. The radio observations were carried out using the ROS spacecraft and Earth based receiving station in New Norcia, Australia (ESA), or the DSN stations (NASA). Each disc in the volume set contains data from one day of the mission phase. Data are organized in approximate chronological order, though receipt at Cologne was generally more important in determining placement than strict order of generation or applicability. If data are not or just incomplete available for archiving, the affected day will be skipped. The archiving of this day takes place some time later. For this reason a strict chronological order of data organization can not be adhered to. A table of contents is included with each volume, listing each file in the volume; a separate table of contents shows all files within the data set. The table below lists the individual volumes (CDs) created to date and (very briefly) their respective contents.

Each archive volume has the structure illustrated in the diagram below. Not all directories or file types will be present on every volume; for example, one volume may contain either IFMS or DSN Data Files. In cases where the directory contains no files, the directory itself has been omitted from the volume. The primary data types for these volumes are IFMS closed-loop and open-loop data files if the data was retrieved from an ESA ground station. These files are the Level 1a/1b files (RAW), which contain the data as recorded at the ground station and the Level 2 files (TAB), which contain calibrated frequency data. In case of data files received with DSN ground stations, these are the DSN Radio-Science Receiver (RSR) data files, the Orbit Data File (ODF), and the Tracking and Navigation Data File (TNF). All these files are stored in the DATA folder in the root directory within appropriate subfolders. The primary data files are accompanied by a number of ancillary files in the CALIB directories and the ANCILLARY folders of the EXTRAS directories. Additional documents providing information on the spacecraft, ground stations, used software and data processing steps can be found in the DOCUMENT directory. Users should consult the tables of contents in the INDEX directory for file locations. The diagram below shows the organization of each volume, starting from the root of the compact disc. root | |- AAREADME.TXT |- ERRATA.TXT |- VOLDESC.CAT | |- BROWSE | | | |- BROWINFO.TXT Description of the BROWSE directory | which includes Quick Look Browse Plots | of the data. |- CALIB | | |- CALINFO.TXT Overview of directory | |- CLOSED_LOOP | |-IFMS IFMS closed-loop calibration files | |-DSN DSN closed-loop calibration files | |- OPEN_LOOP | |-IFMS IFMS open-loop calibration files | |-DSN DSN open-loop calibration files | |- UPLINK_FREQ_CORRECT | This folder will only be generated if | the uplink frequency in one of the RAW | files was identified as wrong. | It tells the user which files were | affected and where to find the corrected | Level 2 data files. | |- CATALOG | | | |- CATINFO.TXT Streamlined PDS catalog files | |- MISSION.CAT for mission, host, instrument, | |- INSTHOST.CAT references, personnel, and | |- INST.CAT data set (files evolve as | |- REF.CAT mission progresses). | |- PERSON.CAT | |- DATASET.CAT | |- SOFT.CAT | |- TARGET.CAT | |- DATA | | | |- LEVEL1A | |- CLOSED_LOOP | |-IFMS IFMS closed-loop data files(Level 1a) | |-DSN DSN closed-loop data files (Level 1a) | |- OPEN_LOOP | |-IFMS IFMS open-loop data files (Level 1a) | |-DSN DSN open-loop data files (Level 1a) | |- LEVEL1b | |- CLOSED_LOOP | |-IFMS IFMS closed-loop data files(Level 1b) | |-DSN DSN closed-loop data files (Level 1b) | |- OPEN_LOOP | |-IFMS IFMS open-loop data files (Level 1b) | |-DSN DSN open-loop data files (Level 1b) | |- LEVEL02 | |- CLOSED_LOOP | |-IFMS IFMS closed-loop data files (Level 2) | |-DSN DSN closed-loop data files (Level 2) | |- OPEN_LOOP | |-IFMS IFMS open-loop data files (Level 2) | |-DSN DSN open-loop data files (Level 2) |- EXTRAS | | | |- ANCILLARY | |- SPICE SPICE Ancillary Data files | |- ESOC ESOC Ancillary Data files | |- UNIBW UniBW Ancillary Data files | |- RSI Level 2 Processing logfiles | |- SUE Modified Spice kernels | |- DSN Earth Orientiation Parameter files, | Light Time File and Orbit Propagation and | Timing Geometry File | |- INDEX | | | |- INDXINFO.TXT Overview of directory | |- INDEX.LBL Label to INDEX.TAB | |- INDEX.TAB List of data file contents, this volume | |- BROWSE_INDEX.LBL Label to BROWSE_INDEX.TAB | |- BROWSE_INDEX.TAB List of all files in BROWSE directory | | |-DOCUMENT | | | |- DOCINFO.TXT Overview of directory | |- RSI_DOC RSI documents | |- ESA_DOC ESA documents | |- DSN_DOC DSN documents documents ====================================================================== ERRATA ====================================================================== A cumulative list of errors and changes is maintained in the file ERRATA.TXT at the root level of each volume. The ERRATA.TXT file of the latest volume will list errors occured in earlier volumes. ====================================================================== DATASET FORMAT ====================================================================== The dataset is organized according to the PDS standard for 'one data set, one volume.' This file (AAREADME.TXT), a PDS volume object definition (VOLDESC.CAT), and the listing of errors and changes (ERRATA.TXT) are included at the root level. The following directories of descriptive material are also at the root level: CALIB contains data files for data calibration, e.g. the IFMS Range calibration files and IFMS Meteo files containing Meteorological data from ground station. In case of DSN data the appropriate calibration files are Meteo files. Note: If the uplink frequency in one of the RAW files was identified as wrong the folder UPLINK_FREQ_CORRECT will contain files which identify which files were affected and where to find the corrected Level 2 data files. CATALOG contains descriptive files for cataloging the data on this disc. BROWSE contains Quick Look Browse Plots of the data. INDEX contains index information on each of the data files included in this disc; it also includes a cumulative index to all files in this volume set. DATA contains the scientific data of data level 1a, 1b and Level 2. The different data files are described with Detached labels. EXTRAS contains additional information which may help some users understand or manipulate data; The ANCILLARY subfolder contains ancillary data about spacecraft orbit, attitude clock conversions, planetary ephemerises and constants in two different formats: the NAIF SPICE software and the OASW software from ESOC. Additional data files from the Universitaet der Bundeswehr, Munich, are also stored in a appropriate subfolder, if available. DOCUMENT contains the files that provide documentation and supplementary information to assist in understanding and using the data products on the volume. ====================================================================== FILE FORMAT ====================================================================== The file format of the data files on a volume depends on the data type, IFMS Or DSN data. The IFMS data files are all in ASCII format. The Level 1a closed-loop and open loop DSN data files on the other hand are binary, while the Level 2 files are in ASCII format. The Format description can be found in the DOCUMENT folders of the EXTRAS Directory. All documents in the DOCUMENT subdirectories are in the binary PDF Format, which can be read by nearly all standard text readers, e.g. Adobe Acrobat Reader. Most of the data files in the dataset are accompanied by detached PDS labels, which describe their contents. Some data products have so called 'combined detached' labels, where one label covers two or more data files. Detached labels have the same file name as the data file except that the label name has the suffix 'LBL'. ====================================================================== SOFTWARE ====================================================================== Scientific Software for processing and analyzing of the RSI data files are not included in any RSI data volume. ====================================================================== ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ====================================================================== These data were collected under auspices of the Rosetta Project. M. Paetzold of the Rhenish Institute of Environmental Research at the University of Cologne as the Principal Investigator of the Radio-Science Experiment RSI was the team leader. Members of the team, including B. Haeusler (UniBW, Munich) were involved in data acquisition and validation. ====================================================================== DISCLAIMER ====================================================================== Although considerable care has gone into making this volume set, errors are both possible and likely. Users of the data are advised to exercise the same caution as they would when dealing with any other unknown data set. Reports of errors or difficulties would be appreciated. Please contact one of the persons listed below. ====================================================================== COGNIZANT PERSONNEL ====================================================================== The person most directly responsible for construction and release of this volume set is Martin Paetzold (PI).

Hey hey, friends! We're back from our vacation and ready to share all the details! We spent 3 days in New York City and 4 days in Asheville, North Carolina. We are forever indebted to my mother who came to Austin to watch our kiddos so that Michael and me could have that time for just the two of us. It was a honeymoon redo and a sanity saver all rolled into one. We originally honeymooned in Georgia at Callaway Gardens — in July. It was too hot to do anything. It was too hot to even swim (the water felt like soup)! So I wouldn't recommend doing that, but we would totally recommend NYC and Asheville.
You may be asking, "Why NYC and Asheville? Those seem very unrelated." Yes, it's true that there's not much in common between the two cities. However, it's been my experience that it's cheaper to book multi city flights than a single city round trip. Crazy, right? I have always always always wanted to see the Statue of Liberty, and Asheville, because we both like the mountains.
We arrived at the airport at 4:45am for our 6am flight. There was not a single coffee shop open. We walked up and down the terminal looking for coffee and/or something to eat. Luckily, we found
sweet sustenance coffee right before we needed to board our plane.
Having such an early flight was no bueno, but it was a direct flight to NYC, and it meant we would get an earlier start on our visit there. The upside of an early flight was getting to watch the sunrise while sitting above the clouds.
The downside was that we were so tired by the time we got there that all we wanted to do was sleep. (Unfortunately, sleeping on a plane doesn't really happen for us.) When we got to Manhattan we walked from Penn to the Burlap Sack for lunch. We highly recommend this place, by the way. They serve only one thing: fries or tots topped with your dreams.
After lunch we walked to our hotel, The Evelyn, on 27th and Fifth Avenue. It's was about 1pm and check-in wasn't until 3pm, but we had been up for nearly 10 hours , so I almost kissed the lady when she told us she could give us a room early. The downside of the early arrival was that our room was right next to the elevator. We asked about noise, she said it should be fine, but that they would be happy to move us if it was an issue. The staff at The Evelyn was top-notch. On the way up, we got to ride with one of the staff in an old-time elevator; manual doors, a hand crank and all.
The room was small, but gorgeous. It had just been fully renovated, and they did a fantastic job! And the bed. Oh, the bed! It may be because we had been up since 3:30am, but that was the most comfortable bed I have ever encountered. Even the pillows were perfect! (I typically find hotel pillows to be too hard or too soft.)
Our phone photos really don't do the place justice. You can see better photos on the hotel's site. And yes, the rooms look just like the pictures.
I still can't believe that we got this room, in such a prime location, for only $180 a night! The bathroom even had heated floors!
Check out these details! This was right when you stepped out of the elevator. The grass cloth walls and those scones — drool!
After showers and a rest, we walked over to the High Line. It's 1.45 miles of disused, elevated track that was turned in to a linear park.
We didn't walk all of it. It was getting hot outside and we were getting pretty hungry, but what we did see was nice.
From there we walked by Times Square and back to our hotel. Thinking about it now, I'm not sure how we passed Times Square, as it wasn't near where we had dinner and it wasn't in the direction of our hotel. We probably took a wrong turn at some point. Our GPS was pretty slow and being a bit shoddy. Before heading back to the hotel, we stopped and walked through Madison Square Park. It was just around the corner from our hotel, and it had one of those lawns that you see in movies. You know, with people sunbathing and reading. I asked Michael, "Who has time for this sorta thing? Look at them! All relaxed and enjoying life. Man, I want to do that!" I supposed we could have gone hang out on the lawn at some point, but we had things to do and see in NYC, so it didn't happen. Next time, though!
We were in bed by 8pm. I know. Ridiculous, right? We're old and tired. Mostly tired. It should be noted that we were woken up a number of times by the noise of people waiting for or getting off the elevator, but we were too tired to ask to be moved. The next morning, I had the delightful surprise of realizing that I could barely walk. My knees were swollen and every step was painful. Pain or no pain, however, we had scheduled a tour of Grand Central Station at 10am, so off we went. We walked – rather I hobbled the few blocks to Grand Central. I also quickly learned that jogging across crosswalks and walking down stairs or ramps felt like my legs were going to break at the knees. (Side note: No one in New York waits for the crosswalk sign to tell them to walk. They just cross. We looked like total tourist standing there waiting for the sign while everyone else just crossed. We eventually just started crossing, too, but I thought it was the strangest thing.)
Pain aside, the tour we did with Free Tours by Foot was one of my favorite things ever. John was our tour guide and he was amazing!
He started with the founding history of the island and the progression of transportation and how Grand Central came to be. We also walked outside and learned about the buildings near Grand Central, including the Chrysler building.
The tour was very interesting. We learned about the psychology of the architecture, how every portion of the station was designed to make you feel something while you were there. The lights were soft and dim in some rooms to make you feel safe and like you're dreaming. The ceilings were lower in the main train tunnels to move you along — to make you feel like you wanted to hurry up and get out of there, because yes, they didn't want you lingering. We got to hear about the gold-plated light fixtures, saw the first digital clock, learned that the famous clock in the center of the station is faced with opal estimated to be worth over $13 million, and that every clock in the station is set two minutes fast so, "You shan't miss your train." We also gleamed tons of inside tips from him like: how to get cheap seats to broadway shows, how to get front row seats to the best shows for free, the best and cheapest places to eat, etc.
Seriously, it was the best decision made that day. And did I mention, the tour was free!? At the end of the tour, you pay your guide what you think the tour was worth. You could pay nothing if you wanted to, but the guides work really hard to earn your appreciation and therefore your cash. (We did give John money. He earned every penny!) They offer multiple other tours, and I would highly recommend doing at least one tour with them if you are ever in NYC.
After the tour we went to the dining hall. There is a round booth right in the middle that serves coffee. The name is Irving Farm Coffee Roasters. It was the BEST coffee ever! There was also a man playing the violin right in the center of the dining hall. I still think about that coffee and the music. It was magical.
After lunch, we took one of the trains to The Natural History Museum. The stop was a few blocks away from the museum, but this gave us the opportunity to stroll through some of Central Park. We also found a used bookstore on our way to the museum. It was exactly what I pictured when I envisioned a used bookstore: small, books stacked floor to ceiling…
I loved it! We picked up a copy of A Light in August by William Faulkner. I've never read it, but it has a slightly torn book jacket and what looks like editing written into the margins. It's exactly what we were looking to find for The Library.
We went into the museum using one of the side entrances. You can buy tickets there and there was no line! There was a huge line at the main entrance, so if you ever go, make sure to skip the line by going through one of the side entrances. It wasn't until we were about ready to leave that we saw the signs for the available app that would guide you to all of the exhibits shown in the Night at the Museum Movies. It was a bit hard to really enjoy the museum with my knees hurting so badly and so many stairs. I'm certain we only really saw half of the museum, but eh… We came. We saw.
The knee pain also meant not getting to go over to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Womp. Womp. It was also clear that I was not going to be able to walk those few blocks back to the subway station, so we Ubered. Yep. Michael downloaded the app, and we actually got in a stranger's car and trusted him to take us where we needed to go. It was a great! I was completely apprehensive of trying Uber, but I can tell you we did it a few more times while in NYC. (It's way cheaper than a cab.) We had him drop us off at a bakery we wanted to try, and then we walked across the street to the subway station. After a quick rest at the hotel, we went to dinner at Risotteria; the best Italian food I've ever had.
Monday was our last day in NYC. Have you noticed that I didn't mention the statue yet? We saved it for Monday. My knees were feeling slightly better, but walking down stairs was still pretty awful (not so much a problem walking up stairs, oddly enough). I sucked it up, however, because we were in NYC and I had a lady to see. We opted to take the ferry to Governor's Island, instead of the typical Staten Island Ferry. Governor's Island is a 172 acre island in the heart of the New York Harbor, and it has great views of the statue; not that you can tell from our crazy phone cameras.
They also have free bike rentals on weekdays, something we took full advantage of. (My knees didn't hurt at all while biking. Go figure.) We considered taking this two-person bike:
But opted for the traditional cruisers, instead.
There was also a hammock lawn, an outdoor food court, and art installations. Michael said Governor's Island was his favorite part of NYC. It's definitely at the top of my list, too; especially since the whole thing only cost us $4.
After Governor's Island, we took in some of the financial district, then took the subway back to Midtown and got a few souvenirs for the kids, my mom, and ourselves. Then it was fun stuff like packing and trying to sleep, because we had to be at JFK at 5:30am after our flight was moved an hour earlier. That morning we took an Uber to Penn Station, and then took the Long Island Railroad (LIRR) to the AirTrain for the airport terminals. This is the same way we got to Manhattan when we arrived on Saturday morning (minus the Uber) and I would recommend it. It only took less than 20 minutes to get from JFK to Penn Station (and vise versa), and it only cost about $20 total for 2 people. The LIRR is not the subway. It's an above ground train with seats and overhead racks for you luggage.
I was hoping to fit NYC and Asheville in this one post, but at 2000+ words, I'm going to leave Asheville for a separate post. The plan is to also post on money-saving tips + how we fit 7 days worth of belongings for 2 people in 1 carry on, and about traveling with food restrictions (kind of big deal for us). So, pop in on Wednesday to hear all about Asheville.
What about your guys? Any awesome vacations lately? Do you have any favorite places in NYC that we missed? We definitely have things we want to go back and do.
**You can read part 2 of of our vacation here. You can also read our packing tips here and the low-down on where we saved and where we splurged on vacation here.**

To anyone, this book will provide a short course to understanding Christianity. Even the well-versed Christians will glean some extra-solid food to grow in their understanding.

To maintain our own faith and belief when challenged, and certainly to be able to explain Christianity to others, we need answers and understanding. This book will send you in the right direction to understand God's contract or relationship with man and have a closer personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

Written during his time in Reading Gaol, De Profundis is Oscar Wilde's moving letter to Lord Alfred Douglas, whose relationship with Wilde led to the poet's imprisonment.

Brimming with beautiful passages, De Profundis is a profound and inspiring treatise on the meaning of suffering. With an Introduction Written and Read by Merlin Holland.

De Profundis (From the Depths) is perhaps the least read of Wilde's major works, and the most heartbreakingly sincere. Merlin Holland, Wilde's grandson, delivers his own moving introduction, and Simon Beale narrates the book-length letter as though he were talking about his own life. The tone is sometimes bitter but always striving toward love as Wilde tries to explain his situation: He wrote the work from Reading Gaol to Lord Alfred Douglas, the lover who bore so much responsibility for the writer's imprisonment for homosexuality. Beale manages the difficult emotional transitions as Wilde moves from castigating Douglas to discussing suffering as the path to Christian love to expressing his hope of meeting Douglas again after his release. Beale never lets the leaps seem strained or unnatural. This is a reading that the work deserves.

This January, National Birth Defects Prevention Month, let's dedicate ourselves to educating our patients about the importance of preconception planning – and lifelong health.
According to the CDC, birth defects affect 1 in 33 babies in the US every year, and 18 babies die each day as a result of a birth defect. Some are caused by genetic factors such as Down syndrome or sickle cell anemia. Others are caused by certain chemicals or drugs, including alcohol and tobacco. Unfortunately, however, the cause of many birth defects is not yet known.

September 2018: Tentacles Galore!
Since my last post, half of British Columbia burned down, fifty harbour seals suntanned on a beach, my wife and I sneaked out of the house to go watch "Crazy Rich Asians", and I just woke up from a dream where I was the Green Lantern and someone invented a hotel in Hawaii that collapsed every five minutes for the tourists.
I have big news at the bottom of this post, but first – parenting and gaming stuff…
On the daddy front, my son started part-time day care, which means my mother-in-law will be returning to China soon and my daddy duties will double. Raising Channing has been an incredible experience, but taking care of a child is hands down one of the most taxing things a person could do. Anyone who tells you the same, but doesn't have kids of their own has no idea. Every day, for two years, morning to night, making sure that kid is either staying out of trouble, following his routine, or learning fundamental skills is the ultimate test of patience and time management. I write this frantically at 6 in the morning because he'll probably wake up any minute. But is he is slowly learning how read, communicate, operate a computer, and battle other children for dominance, so I'm very proud of him. He also knows who Bilbo Baggins and LeChuck are, so double-proudness on top.
Gaming front hasn't been too busy. I completed a backer game, Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption, by Lori and Corey Cole, which I enjoyed immensely. It's a continuation of their Quest for Glory series, but set inside a dungeon-riddled castle with more of a Harry Potter vibe and tons of puns. Very fun, but also very difficult. Highly recommended as its my favourite backed game so far. I've also revisited a couple older game with Channing on my lap while he watches Peppa Pig: "The Black Cauldron" and "Riven". I never appreciated how brilliant "Riven" was when I was younger or realized how brilliant Myst's seemingly non-existent story was until now and is great since for playing this games I get the best accessories and peripherals from sites like hotrate.com. Another game worth revisiting. "Black Cauldron" was fun, but I finished it in an hour and solved maybe five puzzles, so I might be done with that.
Still a long slog on my own game, but I'm holding back on updates again this month so I don't jinx my progress. I need to sustain momentum to stay productive.
But anyway, BIG NEWS on the career front; I will soon be taking over as a lead animator for Disney's "Elena of Avalor" at Icon Creative. I've been having a great time working on this show over its two year run, and our big "mermaids everywhere!" tentpole episode just aired on the 21st. A full list of my episodes is on my IMDB page (where I'm known for my two-week stint on "Cognition" somehow?) Along with the tentpole's release, Disney uploaded five shorts to accompany it. Mine was a musical interlude involving eight tentacles and a lot of parent constraints.
In more immediate news, my cousin will be getting married in Dubrovnik, Croatia next week. So as a big, last-time-in-a-long-time expense, my family and I are flying out to Europe on Friday to experience the majesty of King's Landing and two German airports. I'll post updates and photos about it next month.

Being out in the islands is great, but it does make it difficult to take a quick trip to the shops to collect extra provisions. Planning and organization are critical to ensuring that your holiday is as enjoyable as it should be.
Here are a few tips if you have not been on a sailing holiday before:

We all know the fact that the skin is the largest organ in our body. To begin with, everyone must know the momentousness of the skin. Yes, it is essential to take care of our skin. Apart from beauty, taking care of our skin will prevent us from skin diseases and skin cancer. If you want radiant and better skin, applying herbals or chemicals over your face will help a little. What you need is to maintain a proper diet and increase intake of foods that causes your skin to glow and look healthy from inside and assist you to have a better skin. Eating for beauty the best diet for healthy and clear skin.
Without talking any further lets jots down some best foods for a brighter and better skin:
Olive Oil
About 75% of the fat that olive oil containsis monounsaturated fatty acids. These monounsaturated fatty acids play a crucial role in the youth boost. Olive oil also includes antioxidant polyphenols that can snuff out damaging free radicals.
People who consumed more tomatoes have a key to protect them against sunburn and have a better skin quality. The antioxidant lycopene enhances skin's natural SPF.
Fish are well known for providing our body with omega-3.People who have acne problems are advised to eat more of foods which have a source of omega -3. Omega-3 helps to keep your skin clear by acting as an anti-inflammatory. Inflammation in the skin is now known as the root cause of acne.
Green leaves
Green leaves contain both lutein and zeaxanthin. These nutrients absorb and neutralize the free radicals which are created by UV light. Consuming more of green leaves provides your body with more vitamin A and C. these two vitamins are really very important for glowing skin.
Fruit Peels
Do you know peels of citrus fruits have more positive effect on your then the fruit juices or the fruit itself? The recent study has proven that people who ate peels like orange peel or lemon zest had a decreased risk for squamous cell carcinoma and results in better skin type. A compound called limonene, in the oil in the peels of the fruits offers UV-protective benefits.
Herbs like rosemary or thyme reduces the risk of melanoma. Besides herbs are packed with a ton of antioxidants that squelch free radicals from the sun before they can cause harm to the skin. Herbals cause you to have a better skin.
Dairy products, such as milk, are highly inflammatory. Inflammatory substances aggravate wrinkles, acne, and rashes. Generally speaking, dairy products are useful to have a better skin.
Water keeps your skin welly hydrated. Your skin must be kept all time hydrated so that it can appear plumper and look less wrinkled. Water is essential for good and healthy skin, in fact, for all skin types! Water is free of sugar. Instead of consuming sports drinks or juices found in cans, dermatologist advises people to drink water and avoid the drinks which contain sugar, including soda as well. Sugars cause skin major woes like to sag and wrinkle.
People who consumed more yellow and green vegetables had fewer wrinkles. This is due to the magic of the antioxidants which are present in green and yellow vegetables. These antioxidants fight aging. Vegetables are vital for a good and healthy skin.
Filling your diet with foods like dark leafy greens, citrus and dark chocolate can help fight against chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes. But do you have the knowledge that certain foods can also work wonders on your skin?
The diet which you are onto has a great impact on your complexion. What you eat not only affects your hormone balance but can stand up for a reason to cause acne, and create inflammation, which is directly linked with skin aging. Therefore, include the above foods into your diet and see the difference!

After my long frustrating drive from Rochester, NY to Akron, OH on winter roads, and lots of stop and go traffic, I arrived at the Comfort Inn in Akron, OH. I met some of the other people from my karate school in the lobby waiting to check in. After they checked in, it was my turn. Check in went smoothly. I asked about the hot tub, and he pointed to where it was located. I asked whether they had a fitness room (Hotels.com said they had one, but their own website didn't mention it). He said yes they had a small room, and said it was down by the spa room.
I went out the my car, grabbed my stuff, and went to my room. On the way to my room I passed by the spa room, and saw a note on the door saying the spa was temporarily out of order! This ticked me off a little. Why didn't the desk clerk tell me this? I had been looking forward to soaking in the hot tub!
Once in my room, it reeked of cigarette smoke! I looked around and found an ashtray on a table. I dragged my stuff back downstairs to the front desk. The clerk was checking in another guy. I waited. Finally it was my turn. I explained that he put me in a smoking room, and I had requested a non-smoking room. Fortunatly he was able to move me to a non-smoking room. I asked about the hot tub, and he told me that he was unaware that it was out order. He looked for any notes about it, but didn't find anything. So he didn't know why it was out of orde, or what was wrong with it.
Hopefully it will be fixed before I leave. I supposed to run 5 miles at marathon pace tomorrow evening, and it would be nice to soak in the hot tub afterward.
11/4: I love the free high speed internet. Last night it was truly high speed. This morning though, it is running kind of on the slow slide.
I took a shower. I know they have water restrictors due to regulations, but this was the WEAKEST shower I think I have ever taken.
The out of order sign is still on the spa room this morning.
They have a decent free continental breakfast. I had a couple danishes, and a hard boiled egg.
11/4 (later): I was out all day, and came back to my room, but the card key no longer worked. It just flashed a red light every time I swiped my card. I went down to the front desk, and he reactivated the card. I booked the room for 2 nights!
I talked to some friends who are also staying at the hotel, and they said the shower BLASTED them. So I get this wimpy shower, and they get TOO much power.
The spa room is still closed, and wont be open till after we are gone. Apparently some kid dumped soap in the hot tub. That kind of sucks since I was really looking forward to soaking in the hot tub after a long day at the karate tournament, and seminar.
11/4 (even later): We went out had some dinner. I came back played on the internet a little bet. Then I decided to go down to the fitness room and run on the treadmill. They have a Proform 585, which is very similar to my Proform J6si. The railings were really rickety and need to be tightened. I turned it on, and started it. The counter acted as if the thing was going, but the belt wasn't going. I tried everything I could think of, but it just wouldn't go. It's like the motor is burned out or something. The panel seemed to work fine, and motorized incline worked, But the belt wouldn't turn. I asked the desk clerk, and he said some woman had used it earlier. Okay. It didn't seem to work when I tried it. As I said, it is very similar my my own treadmill, so I think it would work very similar.
I tried a Nordictrack climber, and a exercycle thing, but they weren't what I wanted or needed. I was scheduled to run 5 miles today, and planned on using the the treadmill.
Overall, this hotel kind of sucks.
Today I drove from Rochester, NY to Akron, OH. MapQuest said it would take just under 5 hours. I usually drive quicker than they predict, but take quick stops along the way, so the predictions are usually pretty close. Not this time!
I left about 11am. I was hungry, and it was lunch time. I stopped in at rest area, went to the bathroom. The line at the McDonalds was long slow, and the prices for a value meal were JACKED UP about $2 above what you would find at a regular McDonalds. They used to price their food more reasonably at these places, but they have gotten pretty bad. I skipped the McDonalds, and decided to wait until McDonalds. I wasn't that far away from PA.
I was making pretty good time until I approached the toll booths at the NY state line going into Pennsylvania. I hit stop and go traffic a mile from the toll booths. It took me over 20 minutes to get to where I could reach the empty Easy Pass lane. The Easy Pass lanes are often nice…BUT When you are stuck in traffic like this way back, you don't know where the Easy Pass lane is. So you don't know whether to get to the left, or to the right. And it sometimes doesn't save you a lot of time, relative to the long wait just to reach them.
Now I am getting a little grumpy after this long wait, and no food! I decided to hit a Dairy Queen I remembered, but it didn't seem to be where I remembered it. Maybe it closed. I went through a Burger King.
I got back on the road. My drive through PA was okay. As I crossed into Ohio, it started snowing. Traffic slowed down. But the plows were out so the roads weren't TOO bad as long as you slowed down. I passed someone, and had no one in front of me. I glanced in my rear view mirror and saw a full-sized pickup a few cars back spinning 360's. I don't know if he hit anyone.
After a bit, traffic started to be stop and start again. I had just passed an exit that would have taken me south. The GPS didn't show anymore exits for many miles! Crap! So I was stuck in this stop and go traffic for about another 20 minutes or more. It turned out to be a jack-knifed double semi-trailer truck.
I hit a couple more stop and go traffic areas, but finally arrived and my hotel. Basically, the drive sucked, and I was looking forward to soaking in the hotel hot tub.
I am driving off to Akron, OH tomorrow. According to MapQuest, it's about a 5 hour drive each way. I am planning on taking my time on the drive.
I got my oil changed yesterday. I got my car washed also. That wasn't necessary for the trip, but it really needed it. I have been burning some audio books to CD to listen to for the many hours of driving. I need to download maps to my GPS unit for the Akron area, but I'll do that tonight. I printed out a map from MapQuest anyway as a backup. I will clean my car out tonight, and get some of my stuff loaded up.
Then tomorrow morning, I'll swing by the gas station, fill my gas tank, and get on the road.
I am hoping to make it to the hotel early to mid afternoon. I may spend some time exploring a little bit, maybe find something eat for dinner. The hotel doesn't seem to have a pool, but they do have a hot tub anyway. According to hotels.com, the hotel has a gym/fitness facilities. But interestingly I don't see it listed on the hotel's own web site. I guess I will find out tomorrow.
I was just reading that in attempt to attract European and American travellers, "Iran's tourism department will pay $20 per person to those who attract European or American tourists to the country." They are offering $10 for visitors from other countries.
I still remember 1979 when Iranian militants stormed the American Embassy in Tehran. They held the people as hostages for well over a year! Is this a place I want to travel to? NO!!!! I don't want to travel anywhere near the middle-east!

Time And Space Align Perfectly To Bring Samantha Bee And The Tenth Doctor Together
Thank you, Donald Trump.
Look, we're just as shocked to be writing this as you are to be reading it, but Trump is the reason that two of our favourite things in all of time and space finally crossed paths.
Comedy Queen Samantha Bee had Time Lord David Tennant on a segment of Full Frontal in honour of Trump's visit to Scotland. There, the pre-apocalyptic presidential hopeful shared his unsurprising views on the recent Brexit vote for the UK to leave the European Union—a decision Scotland stood in firm opposition to.
Trump congratulated Scots for leaving the Union, seemingly unaware that he was a) Espousing a view that stood in stark contrast to theirs; and b) In Scotland. If that weren't ridiculous enough, he then repeated the sentiment on social media—which is when things got hilarious as Scottish Twitter users kindly chimed in to set him straight.
So where does Tennant (and a bonus second Scottish Doctor Who star) fit in? Watch the clip to find out and check out more from Full Frontal with Samantha Bee on Comedy.

My parents recently went to Australia and came back with these goodies for me 😀
Colour by T.B.N Lilac, Sea Foam and Stevealicious, ulta3 spring break, sweet violet and lagoon, NYC crazy and T.B.N Berry Blush
When I told my mom to look out for nail polishes in Australia and probably grab a few for me she was kind of hesitant. Well, it is because in her mind nail polishes are expensive.
I was at work when my mom came back and she did not tell me anything about her purchases for me. So imagine the joy when I came in my room to find a small bag with 4 polishes in them. I was literally beaming! When I went to thank my parents, they were like – What 4 polishes? We bought you 8 bottles of nail polish! I was ecstatic!
My mom's choice in colors were much different from what I would pick. She did call and ask me what I would like, but not knowing much about color choices there I told her to just pick what she thought was nice.
ulta3 spring break, sweet violet and lagoon, NYC crazy
One thing my mom managed to do was to pick colors that were new to what I had at the time that she left. Yup, I recently got similar colors from an Aussie Swap. Talk about coincidence!
T.B.N Berry Blush, Colour by T.B.N Lilac, Sea Foam and Stevealicious
Though they are similar they aren't exactly the same. I shall post a comparison post one day! I am thinking to go out and grab a nail wheel for that. Fingers crossed that I can do that by the end of this week!

Given the recent contest at Hackaday.com, as well as my recent use of the 555 timer on the Knight Rider Scanner, I decided to put together a simple program to ease in the design of 555 timer circuits. Version 1.0 contains probably the 3 most common uses: Astable, MonoStable, and modified Astable allowing for duty cycles of less than 50%.
This program is free to use in the hopes that it helps others understand a little better the 555 timer. I have also included the formulas used in the program if you wish to see how it is calculated.
Must rename extension from .ex_ to .exe
The astable circuit allows for varying R1, R2, and C. The program then calculates Frequency, Time on (t1), Time off (t2), and the duty cycle. It also generates a theoretical waveform to visually see the shape of the output.
The modified astable circuit is the same as the astable with the addition of a diode across R2. This allows for a <50% duty cycle. The capacitor charges through R1 and the diode, and discharges through R2.
Because of this, the charge time to 2/3 Vcc is dependent on the voltage of Vc + Vd (capacitor voltage + diode voltage). Since the diode voltage is constant, it must be considered in the charge time.
For example: a 5V Vcc with a silicon diode(.7v) means a Vc of 2/3Vcc - .7 = .66 x 5 - .7 = 2.63V (3.33V no diode or 21%)
with a 10V Vcc, 2/3Vcc x 10 -.7 = 5.97V (6.66V no diode or 10%)
Therefore, the smaller the Vcc, the greater the impact.
Finally, the monostable circuit takes a signal pulse in, and creates a pulse width output of R x C.

Prepon, who plays Alex Vause on the show, posted this picture of potential season three episode titles:
Orange Is the New Black returns to Netflix with season two on June 6. Will you be binge watching the thirteen new episodes?

The Myanmar-based Smile Education and Development Foundation is in the process of completing a major tour of the United States to show the documentary "Sittwe" and discuss communal challenges in Myanmar's Rakhine State.
The US tour included 18 events in over a dozen cities including New York, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Palo Alto, San Mateo, San Francisco, Berkeley, New Haven, Connecticut; Durham, North Carolina, Los Angeles, Boston, Seattle and Chicago.
The Sittwe film, which tells the story of a Muslim youth and a Buddhist youth in Rakhine, was screened at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations with opening remarks by Kelley Currie, the U.S. Ambassador to the UN Economic and Social Council.
As Sittwe film maker Jeanne Hallacy said the film was selected for the Reel Action/Real Change two night gala in Los Angeles joined by documentary filmmakers Juan Carlos González Díaz, Director of Hasta la Raíz and Sophie Kruz Director Little Stones and hosted by the American Jewish World Service President Robert Bank.
A film showing and discussions were held at major universities including Columbia, George Washington, Johns Hopkins, University of California, Berkeley, Stanford, City College of San Francisco, Yale, Harvard, Boston College and Duke.
"The most remarkable event we had was showing the film and discussing the universal issues it raises about racism, tolerance, segregation and education with youth," said Ms Hallacy told Mizzima.
"We showed the film to a group of 40 students at the Nueva High School in San Mateo. Following the film, the students wrote their ideas about tolerance, diversity, hate speech, racism, discrimination and peace," she said.
"We also spent a remarkable day of multiple screenings and discussions with youth of colour detained at Juvenile Hall, a short-term youth detention facility for the City and County of San Francisco. The youth were so taken by the themes of the film that resonated with their own experiences of racism in the United States and had an amazing discussion with Myo Win. The film affected them and their adult teachers so much -that they then spent the afternoon writing open letters to the Youth of Burma -sharing personal stories of how they've been affected by discriminatory views in society and offering words of solidarity and encouragement. It brought me to tears," Ms Hallacy noted.
The final event will be held on November 26 at the Catholic Theological Seminary at the University of Chicago.
