<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">On April 11, most of my family went up to Branson, MO to participate in the “Titanic 100”, the 100 year celebration of the sinking of the Titanic. Samuel, Claire, Shea, Grace, and I were able to be in a play on Friday night. </span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">On Friday night, we also watched the film, “<i>A Night To Remember</i>”, made in 19??, which is based on first-hand accounts of the Titanic. So, overall, it is pretty accurate to the actual event. </span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">On Saturday night, we boarded a showboat, the Branson Belle, which we were glad did not sink. :D We listened to talks, enjoyed music by Charlie Zahm, and we even had a countdown to the minute the Titanic struck an iceberg, and the minute she actually went down. (They factored in Naval time, daylight savings, and all that other good stuff.)</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">It was a time to really proclaim the message, “Women and Children First!” Today as a culture, that message is lost. Men no longer hold the door for ladies, they no longer pull chairs out for them. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">We also related the men who died for their wives to how Christ died for his bride, the church. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">“<i>You and I will be better in life and death because of the men’s good example. The real message of this great and overwhelming affliction is that it is the latest revelation of the power of the cross. The men who stood on the deck in the presence of disaster exhibited a power of self restraint. Exhibited it so quietly too, that it cannot be explained on any ground of mere evolution. But the son of man who came into a world that was lost. And so, the men of the Titanic sacrificed themselves for the women and children. The women did not ask for the sacrifice, but it was made.</i>” - Rev. Dr. Leighton Parks</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">This month has been a REALLY busy month for our family. I’ll start back at the end of March. By the way, this might take up a couple of posts. :D</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Well, back in March, Mom, Dad, Shea, and I went to the “Teach Them Diligently Convention” in South Carolina. The conference lasted over a 3 day period: Thursday-Saturday. Some of the speakers included Voddie Baucham, Doug Phillips, Ken Ham, and Stephen Kendrick. We had a great time listening to talks, and visiting with friends. On Saturday night, we went to the Kendall’s house, and spent some time with multiple families that we knew. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Last Monday we went to Jamestown, Virginia to finish up some filming for the video series. We filmed at Jamestown Settlement, a recreation of the original fort and town. It is right across the street from Historic Jamestown, which is the National Park containing the original site. The settlement is a really neat place. They have costumed reenactors there to explain the history. We filmed in the morning, doing a scene at the boats and three others at the fort. Here are some pictures</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span><br />

The conference is about a week long. <a href="http://www.jamesfletcher.me/">James Fletcher</a>, <a href="http://www.jakedohm.co.cc/">Jake Dohm</a>, and I have been running sound in the back. We have a table where all of us are working, and since we all have Macs, it's pretty hilarious to see al four of them lined up on the table. It's been fun, but also really tiring at the same time. I'm SO glad that today the conference ends at 6:00. Here are some pictures we took of our "work station."<br />

I know most of you, and I hope all of you, don't believe in him, but if you still do, (yikes!), READ THE TEXT BELOW. Actually, even if you don't believe in him, (hooray for you!), you can still read it. :D<br />
<br />
Santa Claus: An Engineers Perspective<br />
<br />
I. There are approximately two billion children (persons under 18) in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist religions, this reduces the workload for Christmas night to 15% of the total, or 378 million (according to the Population Reference Bureau).<br />
At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per house hold, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming that there is at least one good child in each.<br />
<br />
II. Santa has about 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 967.7 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with a good child, Santa has around 1/1000th of a second to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left for him, get back up the chimney, jump into the sleigh and get on to the next house.<br />
<br />
Assuming that each of these 108 million stops is evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false, but will accept for the purposes of our calculations), we are now talking about 0.78 miles per household; a total trip of 75.5 million miles, not counting bathroom stops or breaks. This means Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second --- 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second, and a conventional reindeer can run (at best) 15 miles per hour.<br />
<br />
III. The payload of the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium sized Lego set (two pounds), the sleigh is carrying over 500 thousand tons, not counting Santa himself. On land, a conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that the "flying" reindeer could pull ten times the normal amount, the job can't be done with eight or even nine of them--- Santa would need 360,000 of them. This increases the payload, not counting the weight of the sleigh, another 54,000 tons, or roughly seven times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth (the ship, not the monarch).<br />
<br />
IV. 600,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance --- this would heat up the reindeer in the same fashion as a spacecraft re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer would absorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy per second each. In short, they would burst into flames almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them and creating deafening sonic booms in their wake.<br />
<br />
The entire reindeer team would be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second, or right about the time Santa reached the fifth house on his trip.<br />
<br />
Not that it matters, however, since Santa, as a result of accellerating from a dead stop to 650 m.p.s. in .001 seconds, would be subjected to centrifugal forces of 17,500 g's. A 250 pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of the sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force, instantly crushing his bones and organs and reducing him to a quivering blob of pink goo.<br />
<br />
Therefore, if Santa did exist, he's dead now.<br />

We were on a Civil War Tour which was put on by our good friends, the Horns. I learned a lot and had a great time. Because we were gone for a week, it's too much to put in one post. So I'll do a day by day overview in separate posts.<br />
<br />
On the first day of the tour, we went to Fort William McHenry, which, for those of you who don't know, was the fort that was fired upon by British ships. It was here that Francis Scott Key wrote the famous "Star Spangled Banner". Mr. Horn talked about how the war of 1812 ties into the Civil War. This was helpful as we saw God's providential hand in America's history.<br />
<br />
We then went to the U.S.S. Constellation, which just showed us how a frigate ship would look like back then.<br />
<br />
Then, we went to Arlington Cemetery. This is where Robert E. Lee's house is located. It also is the grave to 300,000 military casualties from each war, ranging from the Civil War to military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq. <br />
<br />
This is also the location of the tomb of the unknown soldier. The inscription on the grave is"<br />
<br />
HERE RESTS IN<br />
HONORED GLORY<br />
AN AMERICAN<br />
SOLDIER<br />
KNOWN BUT TO GOD<br />
<br />
There is a soldier who patrols the grave 24/7, no matter the weather. <br />
<br />
At the end of the day, we were all pretty beat. It was POURING at Arlington so we were all soaked. We were thankful for the long bus ride home, which gave us time to contemplate what we had learned, and also to have some good fellowship.<br />
<br />
