It's been two months since our relocation to San Jose. God's direction on this next chapter of our lives has involved a downsizing and releasing of many things along with the physical separation of family and friends. Although I've remained confident that this is God's plan, it hasn't been easy. The sale of our home required removing the final furnishings including two antique Louis XVI French armoires. All my efforts to find new homes for them proved futile. It's hard to locate a vacant nine foot high space in a home and I wasn't aware of any museums adding to their collections of French antiques.
It's taken me 60 days to finally let God take control. I've experienced anxiousness, worry, and a lack of sleep but I'm finally ready to release the treasures that had become shackles imprisoning my heart.
It was during the Fourth of July Sunday worship that God gave me a picture of what He completed in my life. As the music stirred a desire to dance, I imagined myself asking Jesus to dance. At first I was dancing with Him, then I dancing independently as He infused my steps bringing grace and beauty to my movements. I knew instantly that this was a dance of freedom and my past journey allowed me to experience this dance.
One question remained in my mind that I presented to Jesus. Since He pursues me, why did I ask Him to dance instead of Him asking me?
Plans you've formed that you need to surrender.
Desires you pursue that compete with His desires for you.
Treasured things and relationships you are grasping that prevent you from dancing with Him.

The foggy weather of yesterday was replaced today with mostly blue skies. Elegant albatross sailed in the air around the ship. Some would say that the Wandering Albatross is the most majestic bird in all of the oceans of the world. I would tend to agree. Throughout the day we were accompanied by these stately sea birds.
We were scheduled to arrive at Cape Horn at 15:00 but with the near perfect sea conditions we were a mere 1.5 nautical miles off the most infamous nautical landmark in the southern ocean by 14:00. With todays great visibility we could clearly see the statue that was erected in memory of all of the sailors that lost their lives when rounding the Horn.
As usual on our north bound Drake Passage days we filled the day with bridge visits and lectures. And as now is the custom on board Fram we held our charity auction in the Observation Lounge at 16:00. $2000 USD was raised which will go towards the charities; Bird Life International, Falkland Islands Conservation, The South Georgia Heritage Trust and The Antarctic Heritage Trust.
In the early evening Dominic previewed the superb images he has been taking throughout the expedition in the Framheim Hall.
Our grand adventure to Antarctica was coming to completion. We had, it seemed, experienced a little bit of everything. We experienced the raw nature of the South Shetland Islands and explored all the way south of the Antarctic Circle. Countless times we were surrounded by ice. We witnessed icebergs in all shapes and sizes. We saw majestic landscapes that filled our minds with wonder. We encountered Humpback, Minke and Fin Whales, six species of penguins and four species of seals and several encounters with Antarctic Fur Seals. Our experiences are too many to list but this had certainly been an experience of a lifetime that none of us will ever forget.
As the morning passed the seas calmed and the fog came and went. The morning was full of activities, visits to the bridge, were the captain gave a mini lecture on the different attributes of the vessel. The bridge visits were followed by another series of lectures. At mid-morning a full scale emergency drill was ongoing – but nothing was going to stop the lectures.
Early afternoon after our lunch the lecture series continued and two other groups went to visit the bridge. There was a nice break with waffles and coffee in the Panorama Lounge.
Later we had an expedition recap where passengers had the opportunity to ask to the expedition staff questions and clarify our thoughts on wildlife, sightings and observations.
As we looked through the windows looking for bird, but we found that nothing was here, nothing was there and nothing was anywhere. We felt as if we were in the middle of nowhere going nowhere.
Today we spent the entire day at Deception Island. In the early part of the 19thcentury sealers were unaware of the existence of the entrance to the hidden flooded caldera. They called it Deception Island when they discovered that it contained a very conveniently-sheltered harbour, Port Foster.
Navigating the entrance is always a little bit tricky as several unlucky ships have discovered that there is a rock hidden just beneath the surface and just off centre. It behooves a navigator to choose his course with care when navigating the entrance to the caldera which aptly called Neptune's Bellows.
We breezed on by Port Foster and continued deeper in the caldera to Telefon Bay where we dropped anchor at approximately 08:00. Our plan was to hike up a gentle slope to the rim of a crater and then to hike all the way around the rim. However even the best laid plans are often foiled by the weather gods of Antarctica. Low dense clouds covered the highest parts of the crater putting an end to the circuit. Instead we were able to hike on both sides of the rim and proceed half way around from either direction. The views from the top were largely of fog but from time to time a rent would appear in the mist revealing much of the flooded caldera of Deception Island. Across from the landing site six Crabeater Seals lay hauled out on the beach. They offered another fine photo-op en route back to the ship.
In the afternoon at 14:00 we dropped anchor at Port Foster in Whaler's Bay beside the old whaling station. Deception Island is geothermally active. Huge clouds of steam arose from the beach. A strong smell of sulphur permeated the air. If you put your hand in the wet sand along the water's edge it was very warm. Cool! Er... warm!
The fog continued to pulse in and out. Patches of blue sky would tantalizingly appear for a few brief seconds and then just as quickly disappear. Our plan at Port Foster was to offer a much longer hike to a very well known Chinstrap colony called Baily Head on the outside of the island. Sixty four people had signed up for the much anticipated hike. But the fog! The fog put the kibosh on that plan too! Still, despite the fog there is plenty to do and see at Port Foster. Manuel lead the way up to Neptune's window where the American sealer Nathaniel Palmer first sited Antarctica. Rudolph lead another group in the opposite direction past the remains of the old whaling station to the airplane hangar.
Before heading back to the ship, many passengers opted to take a Polar Plunge. While the water is somewhat warmer inside the caldera especially at low tide along the shoreline (because it is heated geothermally) somewhat warmer is a very relative term. The shock that registered on just about everyone's face as they hit the icy water attested to that cold fact!
Now we are headed north on the north side of the Bransfield Strait and will soon make our way to Drake Passage. We are enveloped in a heavy blanket of fog.
We woke up with a slight rain but soon it cleared up. Our landing this morning was Base Brown and Argentinean base that was abandoned for a while and now is under repair.
We meet some of the summer crew that is doing the work at this place. The site is home of a couple of hundreds Gentoo Penguins. The small colony had well grown chicks most of them in good health. Many of us went into a hike up the 80 meters snow covered hill were we had a magnificent view of Paradise Harbour a real paradise. The more adventurous one went up and came down the hill in a nice and fast slide.
After the fun in the snow we went to the landing site and all of us went for a polar circle boat ride. There we observed a Leopard Seal, many penguins and some saw even whales -- what a way to start the day.
In the afternoon we divided the landing in two places Jougla point and the ex-British Base, base"A". The first landing was at Jugula – here we visited a medium size Gentoo Penguin Colony and a small size Blue-eye Cormorant colony, both colonies contained medium to well grown chicks.
In Jougla point not only we saw the birds but also a couple of Wedell seals. Right after Jougla we went to visit base "A" or better known as Port Locroy, a museum and a nice souvenir shop, were we had the opportunity to buy some souvenir for our love ones. As the evening settle down we sailed to our next destination that would be on Deception Island.
At 12:00 we were ready to make a landing at the Fish Islands. The weather continued to be mild with an afternoon high of 2˚C. The sky was a uniform grey and once again we were blessed with very little wind. Several large icebergs surrounded the landing site as well as a lot of brash ice.
The island we landed on doesn't have a name and probably isn't much more than 100 metres in diameter but it supports a thriving Adelie Penguin colony. The Expedition Team laid out a path with orange traffic cones that led us all the way around the island. The chicks were quite large and indeed some of them had completely lost their down and had proper feathers. It wouldn't be long, just a matter of days before they ventured out for their first plunge in the ocean. This is also the time of year when the adults start to moult. Many penguins were obviously moulting and lots of feathers were strewn on the ground.
This colony was rather wet and muddy. Being located on more or less solid rock there is no drainage. Combine that with mild weather and rain and lots of fully grown chicks and adult penguins defecating everywhere and well... there were quagmire like areas that were, shall we say, rather pungent. On a large ice floe close to shore, we could could see a large Leopard Seal. It obviously wasn't bothered by the Polar Cirkel boats going to and from the ship. By 16:00 we were all wrapped up on shore. We heaved anchor and headed north once again. As we departed The Fish Islands we encountered two Humpback whales. We stopped and o-o-o-h-h-ed and a-a-a-h-h-ed for awhile and then continued on toward's tomorrow's destinations, Almirante Brown and Port Lockroy!
After picking up the campers at Horseshoe we set out for a little exploration in the northern part of Marguerite Bay. Marguerite Bay is a large bay in which to the south is the Wordie Ice Shelf and to the north is Adelaide Island. Along the bay we saw several tabular icebergs all of which originated from the Wordie Ice Shelf, although some ice from glaciers was also present.
We started the day with a bit of soft snow fall. Our exploration started at Pourquoi Pas Island (or the Why Not Island) we landed at Bongrain Point, a Fram first. It was the first time at that site not only for passengers but also for staff as well. The site contained a small colony of about 700 breeding pairs of Adélie Penguins, and literally hundreds of skuas around the colony. Some skuas were breeding as well and had small nestlings that were cute and cuddly. The penguin colony contained many well grown chicks and some were ready to go to sea. Also there were many adults at different stages of moulting. The key to distinguish the young from the adult Adélie Penguins is in the throat: young will have white while the adults have black throats. Around the colony several Fur Seals were found, and some were very grumpy.
As it was the "why not day", during the afternoon we continued with explorations of Marguerite Bay and we decided to go to Jenny Island. Jenny was another unknown site for us. There we found several seals including large numbers of Elephant Seals. We attempted unsuccessful landings at several sites but there were too many rocks and heavy swells for the Polar Circle boats to handle. However, we managed to do a landing in a corner of a large cobble beach. Slightly higher above the beach, the island was covered with Fur Seals and the large swells restricted us to a small area, but we succeeded in observing Elephant Seals and some Fur Seals.
Another superlative day! There was between 10 and 15 knots of wind blowing with scattered sunshine. Temperatures hovered near the freezing point and just above.
Our first landing was at Stonington Island at 09:00.
There was lots of time to explore the various buildings in both the old British Base "E" and the former American East Base. A handful of squawking Adelie penguins seemed to wander aimlessly about the island.
The scenery was stunning (as it always is down here). A large glacier loomed immediately behind the island. We were able to witness a couple of minor ice calvings. The sounds of "white thunder" periodically punctuated the sonic landscape at Stonington.
Our second landing of the day was at Horseshoe Island at 16:30. We had plenty of time to muse through the old buildings at Base Y. The base is in fantastic condition. There was plenty of canned food (long past the expiry date!) lining the shelves. There were dishes, tools, radio equipment, snow shoes, books and numerous other items spread throughout the building. It seemed as if the former occupants had just got up and left the day before.
Several Skuas watched our every step as they fiercely guarded their chicks. Quite a few of us were dive bombed by attacking Skuas. We soon learned where we could and could not go!
This was also where 14 lucky people spent the night on shore in tents. It was perfect weather for the camping enthusiasts. All of the participants returned to the ship for dinner after the afternoon landing and then went back on shore at 21:30 for their night south of the Circle!
On our way to Antarctica.


Jody Cook and Quin Gresham provide solid laughs in "Greater Tuna," now showing at the Arrow Rock Lyceum Theatre.
Throughout his time at the Arrow Rock Lyceum Theatre, Quin Gresham has played a number of memorable characters. With "Greater Tuna" he doubles that list.
Gresham, Lyceum artistic director, and Jody Cook jump in and out of characters with an agility that highlights their skill at capturing the basic personas and giving them life.
As the duo quick-change through the population of Tuna, Texas, the audience is treated to a comedic tour-de-force.
Gresham makes his mark early as Didi Snavely, but had the audience in stitches as Charlene Bumiller. His portrayal of church-going busy body Vera Carp was accurate enough to have at least one person in the audience saying "She reminds me of ... ."
Cook, who is making his Lyceum debut in the production, made a good first impression. Bringing experience from performing the play at the Cumberland County Playhouse and the Beef and Boards Dinner Theatre, he displays a gift for timing and delivery that had the audience in stitches. His performances as Bertha Bumiller and Aunt Pearl Burras were among the funniest moments on the Lyceum stage in recent memory.
Director Cathey Sawyer paces the production perfectly, keeping the action popping as characters come and go with mind-boggling frequency.
The costumes designed by Garth Dunbar added the icing to the cake. While each creates a distinct personality for its character, the costumes for Charlene and Pearl are impeccable, garnering nearly as many laughs as the performances of the actors in them.

Saudi leader Crown Prince Abd Allah has sharply told Syria's president to start pulling out of Lebanon soon or face deeper isolation, a Saudi official said.
The unusually tough message came on Thursday when Syrian President Bashar al-Asad met Abd Allah and other Saudi leaders in the kingdom's capital, the Saudi official said.
behind-the-scenes diplomacy in recent days that it wants to keep 3000 troops and early-warning stations in Lebanon, according to an Arab diplomat in Cairo.
The Syrian army already operates radar stations in Dahr al-Baidar, on mountaintops bordering Syria. Israeli warplanes have attacked the sites in the past.
Abd Allah told al-Asad the kingdom insisted on the full withdrawal of all of Syria's 14,000 troops and intelligence forces from Lebanon and wanted it to start "soon", the Saudi official said.
Al-Asad replied only that he would study the possibility of carrying out a partial withdrawal before an Arab summit scheduled for 23 March in Algeria, the official said.
The Syrian leader insisted that he was trying to resolve the problem, but that not everything was up to him.
Saudi officials replied that the situation was his problem and warned that if Damascus refused to comply, it would lead to tensions in Saudi-Syrian ties, the Saudi official added.
In a further sign of their impatience, the Saudis rejected a Syrian request that the upcoming Arab summit officially ask Damascus to withdraw its forces, which would give any pullback an Arab endorsement.
Saudi Arabia is said to be angry with Damascus over the 14 February assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri, who also held Saudi citizenship and was close to the Saudi royal family.
The Lebanese opposition has blamed Syria and its allied government in Beirut for the killing, which sparked dramatic street protests in Beirut that forced the resignation of the pro-Syrian government.
Damascus and the Lebanese government deny any role in the assassination.
Damage in relations with Saudi Arabia would deepen Syria's isolation after its traditional allies Russia and France joined the United States and United Nations in demanding a full pullout.

Following up on yesterday's post which chronicled the exchange between state insurance regulators and Allstate CEO Tom Wilson, here is something that consumers should consider before they lose heart with the current system of oversight.
The following is an article which I wrote on April 16 for www.FiLife.com, a joint IAC/Dow Jones venture. It suggests that the current system offers many protections for consumers.
When once mighty American International Group stumbled last September, the financial system wasn't the only thing that was shaken. Daily blow-by-blow news accounts of the giant financial services company's troubles also cast doubt over the soundness of insurers.
But choosing an insurance company to protect you doesn't need to be a source of worry if consumers make a couple of mental notes to self and complete a few simple homework assignments.
Individual states have their own guaranty funds and guaranty fund limits. Links to these states' Web sites can be found at www.nolgha.com, the Web site for the National Organization of Life & Health Guaranty Associations, Herndon, Va. The guaranty funds provide a backstop, offering protection and underscoring the solvency oversight that is part of insurance regulation, says Peter Gallanis, NOLGHA's president.
Mumford notes that AIG's insurance operations were safe and solvent and that it was a financial unit that destabilized the company.
And, he adds, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, Kansas City, Mo., has just voted to increase guaranty fund limits. That recommendation will now go before state legislatures. While the increases might take a year or two to put into law depending on the state, some states including Iowa, have already implemented the changes, Mumford explains. The new recommended limits are $250,000 for individual annuities, up from $100,000; and $300,000 for long term care contracts, up from $150,000. Protection for life insurance contracts remains at $300,000 for death benefits and $100,000 for the cash value in the contract.
Now get ready for the homework assignment. The easiest way to find out if the company that you're considering is financially strong is to check with rating agencies including Fitch Ratings, Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's Corp. All three offer agencies offer free access to their ratings.
Another item on the financial strength checklist, according to Birny Birnbaum, a consumer advocate with the Center for Economic Justice, Austin, Texas., is to check and see which companies are seeking federal assistance through new government programs such as the TARP, more formally known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
And, if a consumer is using an agent, it is also worth checking to see how that producer is being compensated, says Birnbaum. For instance, some producers are compensated on a volume-based formula, he continues. The more policies sold, the greater the commission, he says. So, it is important to independently check to make sure that a company that is being recommended is strong.
In addition to ratings, the NAIC Web site has a consumer information source available at https://eapps.naic.org/cis/ that provides financial information on companies.

Ucluelet mayor Mayco Noel is unhappy with how commuters are being treated at the Kennedy Hill Improvement Project construction site. (Westerly file photo)
UPDATE: Province says Wi-Fi "not feasible" for commuters stuck in Hwy. 4 construction closures
"Once you get into that dead zone, you're just in the abyss."
Ucluelet mayor Mayco Noel is urging the provincial government to bring wireless internet access to both ends of the current Kennedy Hill construction project so that motorists can be updated on what's happening ahead of them.
"Once you get into that dead zone, you're just in the abyss," Noel told the Westerly News on Thursday. "We're not talking about going to WalMart everyday. We're talking about people going to doctors' appointments, people missing their specialist appointments, people missing their flights and they can't even communicate and get accurate information. The only people that get accurate information are the first 5-10 cars in the lineup. I have continued to bring this conversation up and I am really, really sick and tired of it."
READ MORE: VIDEO: Highway closures hit travellers heading in and out of Tofino and Ucluelet
Heavy rainfall caused a washout between Toquart Bay Road and Nahmit Forest Service Road on Wednesday, shutting the highway down in both directions and, while updates were provided through DriveBC, drivers caught in the closure could not access those updates as the area does not have cell service or wireless internet access.
"Half the town was screwed yesterday," Noel said. "Every traveling motorist out there is being negatively impacted. I'm not slagging the contractors in any way, they have a very tough job to do and it's compounded in this typical West Coast weather that we get."
READ MORE: Highway 4 reopens after washout at Kennedy Hill construction site
Noel suggested that outside of Wednesday afternoon's washout, scheduled closures associated with the ongoing $33 million Kennedy Hill Improvement Project have been consistently inconsistent and that's increased frustration.
"There's not anybody that can say that there's been consistency with the openings," he said. "They continue to change how they open the lineup and it's a frustration. When are they going to start listening and provide us Wi-Fi services at either end of the worksite so we can actually communicate?"

He said Wi-Fi would allow commuters to get up to date information about any delays and contact the people waiting for them on the other side of the highway.
"I am not attacking the contractor, I am attacking the fact that there is no communication," he said. "[The Ministry of] Highways need to get with the program and realize that connecting motorists when they're being interrupted needs to be one of their top priorities on top of moving people around this province."
READ MORE: VIDEO: Frequent closures on only highway in and out of Tofino-Ucluelet expected to continue until Summer of 2020
Noel said he was penning a letter to B.C.'s Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure on Thursday to reemphasize his concerns.
"I bring this up repeatedly every time I have the opportunity and this is another opportunity. We could have this weather until April and, if we have that, they're going to have upsets and there needs to be better lines of communication. We're not talking just about tourism here, we're talking about fish trucks; we're talking about our goods and services," he said. "If we lived in more of an urban setting, like Parksville, Campbell River or Victoria, this wouldn't be tolerated…Let's just get on with this."
In an email to the Westerly News, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure said that lack of cell service along Hwy. 4 has "long been a concern" and the government has been reaching out to cellular service providers expressing the need for better service throughout B.C.
READ MORE: Tofino, Ucluelet and Port Alberni call for emergency phones on Hwy. 4 after crash
"The ministry has explored the feasibility of providing WiFi at the Kennedy Hill construction site. Due to the mountainous terrain and the type of power available at the site, the addition of WiFi isn't feasible," the spokeperson wrote. "In the event of an unscheduled closure, the contractor's staff walk the queue to provide information and expected opening time to drivers, so they can make the decision whether to wait or turn around. If we estimate a long closure, flaggers are deployed to the Junction, and Sproat Lake Area as well. We know that west coast residents and area businesses rely on Highway 4. We thank them for their patience while we work to improve the safety and reliability of the highway in the challenging Kennedy Hill area."
They added that updates are posted to DriveBC.ca as well as Facebook at EAC Hwy 4 Kennedy Hill Project Updates and commuters are encouraged to "know before they go."

Based on Super-Twisting algorithm of high order sliding mode, this paper designs a controller of full bridge inverter. The core idea is to transfer the discrete control law to high order sliding manifold, essentially eliminating the impact of chattering effect. In order to justify the feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithm, it uses MATLAB to simulate control systems and compare results. The simulation results and their analysis show preliminarily that:(1) under the steady state condition, compared with the typical PI control, the high order sliding mode has better tracking; (2) under the condition of large disturbances in input and output, the high order sliding mode control shows strong robustness to the input and output disturbances.
