    This one worked. Do you know if you can start t at something other than
    0?

    No, t is the 'domain' of the function, and varies from 0 to 1. You
    could always offset from t by adding a constant to your desired value.

    For example:

    r=t+.3 (Now r would vary smoothly from 0+.3 to 1.0+.3)
