Rosetta Stone Error: 2125 & 2123

Update 9/15/2016: Seriously, if you are still using Rosetta Stone to learn languages...you ought to "go out" more into the WWW. There are far better and more accurate (Yes, Rosetta Stone's vocabulary is really faulty at times, I have native speakers proven it to me) learning tools out there now: e.g. duolingo, memrise, etc. And no, I'm not advertising for these latter ones, they are totally free anyway, no ads, run faster and easier than Rosetta Stone.

This error pops up saying database out of date.

Solution (Thanks to Kev):

* find the tracking.db3 file in your appdata folder (for windows 7 its C:\programData\Rosetta Stone\tracking.db3 (hidden folder) and rename it to tracking.db3.bak
* Restart the pc
* launch rosetta stone (all your progress has been lost now)
* close the rosetta stone application
* rename tracking.db3.bak to tracking.db3
* Launch the application again and here you go, you can use it again

For error code 2123:
Solved by simply reboot, and reboot, and reboot, until it is fixed.
BTW, adding a line in the file dynamicStoredPaths.xml, next to tracking.db3, may help:
<trackingServiceIPAddress>127.0.0.1</trackingServiceIPAddress>
Line added to second last line of file, before </installerDefaults>.

Vocab: Quinoa

Last night I ate quinoa, a Peruvian grain, at Jason's place during the fellowship.

Almost collision of Satellites

Fermi's close call. Only 30 milliseconds apart, thanks to the ingenuity of NASA to maneuver its craft.
It is remarkable how this was detected by the defense department and how NASA responded.

Literature Expression: The Hobbit prelude

"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort." Tolkien's The Hobbit.

Setting up Church Network

Finally, I disabled the routing NAT system on the Verizon Westell 6100G Modem. Thanks to the guide of this site, I managed to bridge the modem to the router. I remember I did attempt such bridging but to no avail. Perhaps it was the slow login connection speed of Verizon's PPPOE.

With the assurance of such site, I waited confidently until success. Now everything from remote access to access restriction are working.

ExFAT format for MAC

NTFS format flash drive cannot be written on Macs.

When dealing with greater than 4GB files, FAT32 doesn't work.

ExFAT is the only formatting option for a flash drive when used for reading/writing on a Mac.

I learned this while transferring a huge 13GB .mov (Lyna's biography) file from Alex's MacBook.

Plants I found: Common Groundsel

Nearing spring time, at Riverdale: Senecio Vulgaris. This is not edible, as it is toxic, despite its ancient medicinal usage.

Failed doctrines

There's a couple of them:

1. The fear of the Lord is not the fear of getting into trouble, if not the opposite.

2. When a Christian mixes Church discipline with volunteerism, he/she will fail in ministry of God.

Updating Science

Due to many assumptions, inaccuracies in science, which many atheists have used as firm facts and knowledge against Christian faith, I will create this entry that lists all the correction in scientific findings I come across.

1. Earth core temperature.
