ELECTROKINETIC TRANSDUCING METHOD AND APPARATUS Filed Oct. 25. 1949 Fig.3
a? r if INVENTOR. Milton Williams Attorney Patented Oct. 28, 1952 Ul'lED sr TES ELECTROKINETIC TRAN SDUCING METHOD AND APPARATUS 5 Claims.
This application is in part a continuation of my pending application Ser. No. 617,911 filed Sept. 21, l945 and includes embodiments of my invention reported in my article entitled An Elec- -trokinetic Transducer published in The Review of Scientific Instruments, vol. 19, No. 10, 640-646, October, 1948.
This invention relates to electrokinetic transducing methods and apparatus.
Electrokinetic phenomena are well known in the specialized branch of science dealing with the physics and chemistry of surfaces. As full an explanation of the efiects as is known can be had by referring to any standard work in this field such as Colloid and Capillary Chemistry by H. Freundlich (translated from the 3rd German edition by H. S. Hatfield) published by E. P. Button. The subject is described in this volume under the title Capillary Electrical Phenomena on pages 239 et seq. and is briefly summarized herewith. I
There are four phenomena, generally designated as electrokinetic, involving the electrical forces set up by or applied to cause relative motion of solids and liquids in mutual contact: (1) electroosmosis: liquid is caused to move along walls of capillary tubes by the application of an M. -F.; (2) cataphore'sis or electrophoresis: solid particles move through relatively stationary liquids under the application of an E. M. F.; (3) stream or streaming potential: the E. M. F. set up by forcing liquid through capillary openings in a relatively stationary solid; (4) the Born effect: the production of a potential gradient by dropping solid particles through-liquids. Of these electrokinetic effects, my invention is concerned primarily withelectroosmosis and the stream potential. nitude of the stream potential is a direct function of, among other things, the di-electric constant of the liquid, the resistivity of the liquid and the zeta potential existingupon the association of the particular liquid with a particular solid. According to currently accepted theory, when a liquid comes in contact with the walls of a capillary opening in a solid, a double layer (perhaps of the order of molecular thickness) of electrical charges arises in the liquid, those of one sign adhering to thewall of the capillary, while at a slight distance therefrom inthe liquid are aligned an equal number of charges of pposite sign. If the double layer is considered as a condenser, the potential between its plates is designed as the zeta potential and is characteristic for any combination of liquid and solid.
amended. April 30, 1928; 370 -O. G. 757) It has been determined that the mag- This invention makes use of what might be called an electrokinetic assembly including a solid medium, usually a porous disc or plug or diaphragm, through capillary openings in which a fluid flows, and a pair of electrodes, one on either side of the solid medium, that serve to transmit either to or from the assembly an electromotive force. Hereinafter the solid medium will be designated as an electrokinetic plug and the fluid as electrokinetic fluid or simply fluid. Essentially the invention involves the use of a fixed quantity or body of fluid arranged so that at least part of it passes through the electrokinetic plug and in so moving causes a restoring force to be applied to the body of liquid, which restoring force is a monotonic increasing function of the displacement of the liquid. A restoring force is a force that operates in a direction opposite to the displacement of fluid and tends to return the displaced fluid to its original position. Apparatus constructed according to the present invention involves the provision of such structure as Will contain the body of liquid and will produce the aforedescribed restoring force.
The principle of the invention can be embodied in transducing methods or apparatus that, broadly speaking, inter-convert mechanical and electrical energy. Specific embodiments, as will be seen, are adapted particularly for either one conversion or the other. The principle is useful in the construction of measuring devices, such as devices for measuring, for example, the characteristics of pressure changes in a region, the rate of climb of aircraft, or the rate of submergence of submarines and also is useful in construct ing such transducing devices as hydrophones, phonograph pickups, seismic pickups and the like. The methods and apparatus can, of course, be used for measuring variations of any quan tities which can be translated into relative dis-v placements of the electrokinetic fluid and electrokinetic assembly.
Objects of the invention are to provide methods and apparatus for transducing using the electrokinetic eifect, wherein the method and apparatus will be reliable over wide ranges of con-' ditions.
Other objects and many of the attendant advantages of this invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the ac- Fig. 2 is a closed U-tube apparatus embodying the invention;
Fig. 3 is an embodiment of the invention in a rate of climb instrument;
Fig. 4 is an improved transducer adapted for observing pressure fluctuations in pipe lines and the like;
Fig. 5 is a hydrophone;
Fig. 6 is a phonograph pickup; and
Fig. '7 is a seismic pickup.
The figures will now be taken up in more detail. Fig. 1 shows a U-tube 2 containing an electrokinetic assembly that includes an electrokinetic plug 4, a flxed quantity of fluid 6, and a pair of electrodes 8 and I0 disposedoneon either side of the porous plug 4. The electrodes are connected to a potential measuring device i2 which can be of varied construction. The instrument l2 can be a galvanometer, a vacuum tube voltmeter, an oscilloscope (preferably adapted for recording), an electrometer, a bridgeapparatus. or other equipmentyfor -measuring' voltage, while preferably drawing little or no current. Hereinafter, the instrument I2, and its counterparts in other figures maybe denominated simply as a voltmeter or a meter. The=U-tube 2 can be of uniform diameter or canbe provided with-enlarged'sections or reservoirs l4 and. [5. One end. [8 of the U-tube is shown. as being. .open to the. atmosphere while the other end 20 is shown'connected to a region R, the;,characteristics of .the pressure changes, in which the apparatus is designed to measure. Under the-conditions illustrated in Fig. 1, where the levels. 22 and 24 of thefluid in the reservoirs .14 and J6 respectivelyare. identical, the pressure in the regionR is, .of course,- atmospheric. An-increase. in pressure in the region R will cause the fluidii to be displaced with a. corresponding decrease. in .the height of thefiuid in the arm 28 of the'U-tube. During thisxdisplacementqor flow of fluid a portion of the body-.of fluid. 6 necessarily passes throughthe plug 4 and" thereupon generates .a streaming .potential thatis measured by the voltmeter. l2. .The magnitude of the streaming potential is proportionalto the-rate of flow of fluid through, the plugwhich in turn depends. on. the pressure diflerence acrosstheplug. Theidifference in levels of thefluid in reservoirs l4 and; producedby the displacementof the fluid causes .a restoring force to be exerted. on thezbodyof fluid which is a monotonicincreasing-function .of thedisplacement. This force, of course,..is produced by'the actionof gravity on the fluid. A decrease in pressure in the region R causes a flow of fluid .in .theopposite direction with a rise in the level. 24 'anda. lowering of the level .22. The" dimensions. of the U-tube-and quantity of fluid are, naturally-so chosen that the anticipated changes of pressure in the region R will never. be such as to cause the fluid to leave theconflnes of the U-tube 2. If desired; a flexible diaphragm can be inserted in the U-tube- 2', forexample,'in the reservoir I6 at the level-2 3, to separate the fluidfi from the zfluid in the region R.
Fig. 2 illustrates another embodiment of the invention generally in the form of a closed U- tube 30 having an electrokinetic assembly including a porous plug 32 (through which-flows part of a body of fluid 34)"- and-a pair-of electrodes 36 and 38. The electrodes are connected to a voltmeter 4E). The .arm 42 of the U-tube is shown as being provided, preferably but not-necessarily, with an enlarged section or reservoir 44 connected to a region in which pressure-changes are to be observed. This region can be of varied character but is illustrated as a pipe line or conduit 45 hav ing valves 48 and 50 on either side of the junction between the arm 42 and the conduit 48. The other arm 52 of the U-tube terminates in a closed chamber 54. This chamber can be rigid and substantially inflexible but is illustrated as being a resilient diaphragm in the form of a metal bellows. It will be apparent that an increase of pressure in the region 45 will cause a displacement of the fluid 34 with a corresponding lowering of the level 56 and rise in the level 58. This displacement involves a flow of fluid through the plug 32 which is reflected as a voltage reading appearing on the instrument 49. In this instance the restoring force is composed of several components including the force produced by the increased head of fluid in the arm 52, the force produced by theincreased pressure of the compressed gas such as air 60 in the region above the fluid level in the chamber 54, and the force produced in the'metal of the bellows 'by'its distortion. A decrease in pressure in the region 46 will cause a. flow of fluid 34 in the opposite direction again producing a reading on the instrument 4L-As in the embodiment in Fig. 1, here, also,-a'diaphragm can be used in the reservoir 44 to sepa-. rate the fluid 34 from the material flowing-in the conduit 46. The conduit 43 is used diagrammatically to represent such conduitsas oil-or gas. pipe lines but might also be merely a tank or other container. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 2, if 40 is a voltmeter, for example, it reads zero when the pressure in the conduit 46 reaches a steady state constant value. Thus it can be said. that, in general, this embodiment :of the invention is not a pressure measuringdevice but is a device responsive to changes in pressure and-can be designed, by so proportioning its parts, to indicate over adesired range therate of change .of pressure in the conduits 45.
Fig. 3 shows another embodiment of the invention particularly adapted for measuring. rate of climb of aircraft. In this figure the U-tube of the preceding figures has been modified so that what might be considered one'arm 62-thereof surround the'other arm 64. In the drawing the arms are shown as cylinders but might be of other configuration. The electrokinetic assembly, comprising the porous plug 66 and electrodes and I0, is inserted between the two arms 62 and; The electrodes are connected to a meter. 12 to measure the voltage generated upon flow of the fluid through the plug 66. .The arms 62 and-64 are arranged concentrically for the purpos of preventing extraneous efiects due to the accumu* lation of .a difference in hydrostatic head that might be caused by tilting of the'apparatus when mounted in anaircraft. .'Preferably the cross sec.- tion of the annulus between the cylinders is the same as the interior cross-section of the'inner cylinder. To avoid disturbancescaused by temperature changes it might be desirable to enclose the apparatus in a thermally insulated container 14. The arm 64 terminates in a metal bellows or thin rubber diaphragmor the like 16. The airin the region I8 is sealed from the influence of the ambient atmospheric pressure. bythe wall-"8010f the U-tube, whereas the air in the region 82 is subject to the influence. of the atmospheric pressure-through the medium .of the metal bellows -15. When the apparatus ismounted in an aircraft the. bellows 16 expands as the aircraft climbs because the .ambient atmospheric pressure on the outside of the bellows is decreasing and the airin the re-; gion 18, originallyat sea level.atmosphericpres-:
sure, expands forcing the fluid to rise in thearm 64. The meter I2 reads only during the flow of fluid and therefore does not read when the system reaches a steady state equilibrium. It is therefore apparent that the reading of the meter I2 is an indication of the rate of climb of an aircraft. In this embodiment, also, the restoring force includes a hydrostatic head component as well as components due to a compressed gas and a distorted metal bellows.
Fig. 4 shows an improved transducer embodying the principles of this invention especially adapted for observingpressure fluctuations in pipe lines and the like. This transducer comprise a body 84, preferably of metal such as stainless steel, threaded at 8B for connection into a pipe line or other apparatus where pressure fluctuations are to be observed. A diaphragm 88 separating the fluid in the pipe line from the electrokinetic fluid is hermetically sealed into a counterbore 90, formed in the body 84, by means of a diaphragm retainer 92 threaded into the counterbore. A body insert as, made of insulating material such as Plexiglas, is held in place in the body 84 between the diaphragm 83 and a weather head v96 of neoprene or the like seated against a shoulder 98 formed in the body. A porous plug preferably in the form of a fritted glass disc I00 is cemented into a recess formed for it in the body insert. The metal diaphragm 88 serves as one of the electrodes in the electrokinetic assembly while the other electrode is a platinum wire I02 held in place by a metal contactor I00, preferably also of stainless steel, threaded at I06 into a counterbore in the insert 94. Electrical leads are connected to thebody 84 and the externally projecting portion of the contactor I04.
A resilient diaphragm in the form of a short length of rubber hose or the like I08 is slipped over the body insert 04 before. the transducer is assembled and fits snugly in a groove IIO prepared for it in the periphery of the body insert. The chamber for containing the electrokinetic fluid is constituted by the central bore I I2 in the body insert illustrated as having a smaller diameter section I I4 and a larger diameter section I I6. To allow for displacement of the electrokinetic fluid relative to the plug I00 the interior of the chamber II2 is placed in fluid communication with the interior surface of the hose I08 by holes I I8 and I20 drilled diametrically through the body insert. To insure that the chamber H2 is hermetically sealed at the end opposite the diaphragm 88 a gasket retainer I22, preferably also of Plexiglas, is forced against the body insert by the contactor I04 through a gasket I24 preferably made of neoprene or the like.
Assembly and operation of transducer of Fig. 4
To assemble the instrument the hose I00 is slipped into place on the body insert and the fritted disc I00 is cemented into place. The body insert is then placed within the body 84 and is filled with the desired electrokinetic fluid in any suitable manner such as by immersing the entire assembly in the fluid. The contactor I04 is then screwed into place and the diaphragm 88 is placed in position, care being taken that no air is trapped inside the chamber I I2. The instrument is now ready for use and when used to observe pressure fluctuations in a pipe line, for example, it is screwed into the pipe line or connecting branch thereof by means of the thread 86 so that the pressure inthe pipe line acts against the outer surfaceof thediaphragm 88. If the pressure in the pipe line increases the diaphragm 88 is bulg d inward displacing the electrokinetic fluid, the flow of which through the electrokinetic plug I00 is reflected in the voltage appearing betweenthe electrodes I02 and 88. The displacement of the fluid is permitted by the yielding of the hose I08 which thereby exerts the restoring force characteristic of all instruments embodying the principles of this invention. As the pressure in the pipe line decreases the electrokinetic fluid, under the urging of the distorted hose I08, tends to re.- turn to its original position passing back through the disc I00. As it passes through the disc on its return a voltage is, of course, again generated and appears across the electrodes. When the pressure in the pipe line reaches a steady state condition there is no displacement of the fluid and the streaming potential is zero. By properly selecting the materials to ,be used in the instrument, having due regard for such properties as mass and compliance, an instrument can be made which will respond quite accurately over wide ranges to the rate of change of pressure in the pipe line or conduit to which the instrument is applied. If it is desired to obtain a signal that is proportional to the pressure rather than to the rate of change of pressure it is necessary to integrate with respect to time. One method of doing this is by shunting the output terminals of the instrument with a condenser. A pressure-change in a pipe line constitutes what can be properly called a sonic impulse or sound, although the term "sound is more usually applied to cyclicly changing pressure especially where the frequency of variation is within the audible range. By judicious design this instrument can be made to reproduce faithfully the frequency and wave form of the pressure variations or sound occurring in the pipe line to which it is connected. Under these circumstances, where a cyclic variation of pressure occurs, the output of the instrument will be an alternating voltage. The instrument can be made to operate adequately from low frequencies approaching zero into the supersonic range. Theoretically this transducer, like almost all of the embodiments of this invention can be used to convert energy in the opposite direction. That is, instead of converting the mechanical energy of the pressure variations or sound into electrical energy it can convert electrical energy applied to the electrodes into sound or mechanical energy transmitted by the diaphragm 88. Thus if an alternating potential is impressed across the porous plug a corresponding oscillation of the fluid through the plug is produced by electro-osmosis and the instrument then operates as an electro-osmotic speaker. This invention has been so used and upon connection to the audio output of a radio receiver has been found to reproduce music and speech faithfully.
For an embodiment of the invention particularly adapted for use with sound under water reference is made to Fig. 5 which shows an arrangement known as a hydrophone including a body I26 of insulating material having a chamber I28 sealed with electrokinetic fluid therein to forma transducer with an electrokinetic assembly including a porous plug I30 and electrodes I32 and I34. The chamber I28 is sealed at one end by a thin rubber diaphragm or the like I36 and at the other end by a similar diaphragm I30. A perforated sponge rubber baille I40 is fixed to the body I26 and covers the diaphragm I38. To stabilize the body a heavy mass such as a lead ring I42 is attached to it and can serve as a convenient place for the attachment of a suspending cable or'rod I44. Electrical connectio'ns'tothe electrodes are made through-theinsulated' cable I46.
In 1 operation the hydrophone is suspended' in water, as from a ship, andsound, as from another ship-or a submarinais supposed to impinge on the diaphragm I36 movement of which forces fluid through the porous plug I 38 that is cemented or fixed in the Venturi-like throat'of the cham'- her -128. The streaming potential generated is conducted to the surface'by thecable I41. The perforated baffle I40 allows equalization of hydrostatic pressureon the diaphragms I35 and I38 but absorbs any sound which'would" otherwise impinge on the diaphragm I38. The-heavy ring I42 firmly attached'to the'body I26 provides suflicient'i'nertia' to minimize'the movement'of the body-itself under the influence of the sonioim pulse-i Fig.'6 shows'a diagrammatic reproduction-of a phonograph: pickup embodying'the present invention. The body I41 of the pickup is made of am insulating-material, suchas a plastic, and contains an electrokineticplug I49 and electrokinetic fluidl48. The chamber enclosing the electrokineti'c plug is completed by two thin metal diaphragms I50 and 152 hermetically sealing the chamber'and held in place by metal fol-lowers I54 and-I 56, respectively, threaded onto the body I41; The metal foil diaphragms also serve as electrodes in the electrokinetic assembly, Zthe streaming potential'being conducted from the'diaphragms through theirrespective followers to the leads I58 running to the phonograph amplifier. The'phonograph'needle I60 is held by a yoke I62 of insulating material, such'as plastimcemented or otherwise suitably joined'to the diaphragms. Any'suitable means, such as a lug I64, are provided for attaching the pickup'to a tone arm. Transverse vibration of the needle'transmits mechanical energy through the'yoke and diaphragms which finally appear as electrical energy traveling'along the leads'l58. Inertia of the tone arm to which the pickup is rigidly fastened minimizes vibration of'the entire pickup assembly in re sponse to vibration of the needle.
Fig. 7 is a diagrammatic illustration of a seis-" mic pickup used to detect earth vibrations such as caused by earthquakes or explosions. "A body I66 of light weight insulating material, such as a suitable plastic, 'has a chamber form'ed'therein which is closed'at one end by a diaphragm 'IEB and at theotherend'by a diaphragm Ilfiythes'e' diaphragms being of any suitable material,-pret-' erably thin rubber. In thecentral reduced portion of the chamber is located an electrokinetic plug I12 with associated electrodes-114.-Dia
phragms I68 and H8 are' held' in hermeticallyto the porous plug. The streaming'potential generated by this relative displacement is picked up by the electrodes lid and conducted-to any ap propriate recording equipment or meter.
8 though'mercuryis illustrated as serving to add to the :inertia of the electrokinetic' fluid, the device will I operate with the electrokinetic fluid alone.
In any of the illustrated embodiments of the present invention the particular elements chosen for the electrokinetic fluid and 'electrokinetic as sembly can bevariedat will dependin on structural requirements and the desired voltage outut. Generally speaking, in streaming' potential apparatus'i-t is desirable to have as high a voltage output as possible and therefore it is Preferred to use an arrangement exhibitin a high zetapotential and a' fluid having a high resistivity and' a high dielectric constant. For'electro'os motic apparatus it is usually desirable to "obtain the highest pressure diiference across theelectro kinetic plugfor any given voltage and to -ao= complish this anarrangementis chosen exhibit ing' a; highzeta potential and using a fluid having a highfdielectricconstant; A combination' of a fritted glass disc with 'redistilled water has been foundto be quite'satisfactory, particularly for use in a transducer designed for observing pres sure changes on oil-pipe lines; Howeverfother materials would be obvious to those skilled in the art. For example, discs of 'sintered quartz have been used and'other fluids have been used "as, for example, a 20% solutionof methyl alcohol where the transducer might be used in freezing weather.
In-recapitulationit can" be seen that 'certain' functional and structural characteristicsappear in'common in all the embodiments of the in vention hereinbeiore' described. Lookingto the structure, it is apparentthat' there are essentially three components viz, an electro-kinetic assembly; disposed within a container or chamber a fixed quantity of fluid'confined within the' container in such a way that p'art'of the'fiu id, at leastjoan flowback 'and' forth through the porous'plu'g of the electrokinetic assembly and some means I01 causing 'a'restoring force to be applied to the fluid so that when there is relativedisplaceme'nt'be tweenthe fluid and the eleetrokinetic assembly this force tends to restore these two-components to their origi'nal relative position: This arrangement is also'characterized by the fact-that one of :the'two first mentioned components is disposed in mechanical energy transmitting relation with what might be termed a region external to the container. The region can be a' tank or closed change and the like'. *All the embodiments of the invention are ideally reversible in the sense of being able'to'convert electrical energy either to or from -mechahical energy-.- When' the air-'- paratus'is considered as operating in the' dircc= tion of transducln'g mechanical energy into elec tricalenergy' it will-be apparent that'it canbe used to observe'changes in any quantity'which can -be convertedinto a mechanical disturbance.
For e'xample, if theregion R of Fig. 1 consistsof a closed bulb' -containin-g material whosevolume varies with temperature, that embodiment could-be designed to respond to changes in tem-' peiature. The means 'for causing a restoring forceto be applied to the liquid upon displace ment thereof relative to the eleetrokinetic assembly can take various forms. It can include a resilient diaphragm such as the bellows of Fig. 2 and 3 or the rubber membrane of Fig. 5 or the hose H39 in Fig. 4. It can include a body of air or the like such as T3 in Fig. 3 and, it should be noted, either a diaphragm or a body of compressible gas can each be used alone without the other. Alternatively or additionally the means for causing a restoring force to be applied to the fluid can include a conduit, such as the arms of a U-tube to conduct the flow of the fluid in a direction having a vertical component. The vertical component of the direction in which the arms of a U-tube extend causes the fluid upon its displacement to exhibit a difierence in head on which gravity can act to urge the fluid to return to its original position.
When the various embodiments of the invention operate in a direction to transduce mechanical energy into electrical energy either the fluid component or the electrokinetic assembly component is so disposed as to receive mechanical energy from the external region. In the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 through 6 it is the fluid component which receives the energy while the electrokinetic assembly component remains relatively stationary, whereas in Fig. 7, the fluid component remains relatively stationary and the mechanical energy is received by the body carrying the electrohinetio assembly which is thereupon, in effect, moved through or relative to the fluid. As illustrated, the diaphragms in Figs. 3 through 6 are interposed between the fluid and the external region in mechanical-energy transmitting relation. In the illustrated embodiment of Fig. 1, for example, the meniscus or free surface 24 of the fluid or the conduit 26 can be considered as placing the fluid in mechanicalenergy transmitting relation with the region B.
When the apparatus is used for transducing electrical into mechanical energy the electrokinetic assembly is usually held relatively stationary and the fluid component is caused to move relative thereto by the application of an electromotive force to the electrodes.
It can be understood from the foregoing that in any embodiment which depends upon gravity to exert the restoring force it is, of course, necessary that the displacement of the fluid have on y a component in a vertical direction. Thus, for example, in Fig. l the arms and 28 of the U-tube need not extend directly vertically as long as they extend in a direction having some vertical component.
Obviously many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in the light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that Within the scope of the appended claims the invention can be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.
The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor.

Half Life of Stewart and Beck DC Mall Rallies
Original post made by Paul Losch, a resident of Palo Alto, on Oct 30, 2010
I am of the opinion that both have very short half-lives.
It is not clear to me what impact Beck's rally had on people. From what excerpts of his program I saw, he was preaching to the choir. And no "legs" since then.
The Stewart program was clearly well produced, and I did find it entertaining. Good turnout, some fine musicians, a few comedy sketches, yada yada yada.
It will be deconstructed by the usual suspects, whom Stewart excoriates regularly on "The Daily Show."
But my hunch is that it will quickly fade away as a moment on the Mall, just like Beck's has.
Martin Luther King set a high bar with his "I Have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial in 1963. Neither of these rallies comes close in comparison or importance.

The King speech set a very high mark. A pity his so called followers have made a mockery of the very points Dr. King made.

Grieving with Hope
November 4th, 2010
Grieving with Hope
By Alex Miller
"Do you show your wonders to the dead? Do those who are dead rise up and praise you? "Selah" Is your love declared in the grave, your faithfulness in Destruction? Are your wonders known in the place of darkness, or your righteous deeds in the land of oblivion?"
Psalm 88:10-12 NIV
MANY TIMES IN the evangelical community we are taught that grieving is bad. That to hurt is to not trust completely.
It is OK for me to hurt and to hurt terribly bad. To cry out. To put God in the dock. To accuse Him. However, it is foolish for me to do so without hope. In a way, I can understand the psalmist's sentiments. Anger at God. Weakness. A desire to give up. These texts are seemingly hopeless in the context in which they are written. But there is hope.
Who is the One who has ever truly endured darkness (Psalm 39:13)? Who is the One who has worked wonders from the dead (Psalm 88:10)? Who has departed, and still has risen to praise Him (Psalm 88:10)?
Though hopeless in their context, in the greater context of Jesus, these verses are full of hope. Jesus conquered death. Jesus suffered the true darkness so that I can endure my momentary darkness. Jesus rose from the dead so that while I am dying now, I can fix my eyes on Him.
When you are faced with grief or despair, how are you reminded of hope? Do you feel comfortable enough to share your grief with God?

I don't tend to run towards hope. Sometimes I find it hard to even crawl.
Sometimes I think it is best to grieve, to let it out, and to let hope come later. Too often people try to give hope too soon. And when they do it comes off as wrong, dismissive, unsympathetic, etc.
Sometimes it is best to just grieve with the person.
Sometimes hugs are better than hope.
*Do you feel comfortable enough to share your grief with God?*
Yes. A very long time ago my very wise grandmother reminded that God already knows what I am thinking and still loves me regardless. So why not be honest with Him and fight it out.
This is what I am currently doing in regards to my son's death.

Ayo, watch ya mouth playboy…
Yesterday we brought you the news that J.Cole had to "take that" after Diddy showed him his grown man strength at a post-VMA after party in NYC.
Today more info about the fight has hit the wire.
Via NYPost
Sean "Diddy" Combs ended up in the middle of a scuffle at his and Jay Z's star-studded MTV Video Music Awards after-party.
In a room packed with Beyoncé, Rihanna, Leo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, Pharrell Williams and Justin Timberlake, tensions boiled over between rappers J. Cole and Combs.
A witness at the PH-D rooftop lounge at the Dream Downtown told us, "J. Cole was saying inappropriate things to Sean Combs and his girlfriend, Cassie. Sean immediately pounced. Some pushing and shoving happened. No punches were thrown, but it was a visible disturbance. A few bottles splashed to the floor and some partygoers were knocked over, falling on top of Renee Graziano from 'Mob Wives.' "
Other witnesses described it as a 3 a.m. "dust-up" that started after multiple bottles of Diddy's Ciroc had been downed. Combs walked out of the melee and seemed untroubled, immediately making his way to the mike to welcome everyone to the VMA bash, and wished Cassie a happy birthday.
According to BOSSIP eyewitnesses, Cole was sitting with Kendrick Lamar and Humpback Hov when Diddy approached them. Cole said something sideways that rubbed Sean John the wrong way and he began "play choking" him, that is when the scuffle ensued and bottles were broken. Diddy reportedly DID toss a few glancing blows to Jermaine's slender frame then hopped on the microphone to play the whole thing off.
We're positive that this isn't the last we will hear of this incident, check back with us as more details emerge.
Jermaine took to Twitter to do a lil damage control of his own, take a look on the flip.

The Scam Wall Street Learned From The Mafia - By Matt TaibbiSubmitted by Swan_Writes on Fri, 06/22/2012 - 02:17
The Scam Wall Street Learned From the Mafia
How America's biggest banks took part in a nationwide bid-rigging conspiracy - until they were caught on tape
By MATT TAIBBI
June 21, 2012 11:20 AM ET
Some highlights, followed by link to full story
"In short, this was like the scam in Office Space, multiplied by a factor of about 10 gazillion: Banks stole pennies at a time from towns all over America, only they did it a few hundred bazillion times."
"How did they rig the auctions? Simple: By bribing the auctioneers, those middlemen brokers hired to ensure the town got the best possible interest rate the market could offer. Instead of holding honest auctions in which none of the parties knew the size of one another's bids, the broker would tell the prearranged "winner" what the other two bids were, allowing the bank to lower its offer and come in with an interest rate just high enough to "beat" its supposed competitors. This simple but effective cheat – telling the winner what its rivals had bid – was called giving them a "last look." The winning bank would then reward the broker by providing it with kickbacks disguised as "fees" for swap deals that the brokers weren't even involved in."
"The defendants in the case – Dominick Carollo, Steven Goldberg and Peter Grimm – worked for GE Capital, the finance arm of General Electric. Along with virtually every major bank and finance company on Wall Street – not just GE, but J.P. Morgan Chase, Bank of America, UBS, Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Wachovia and more – these three Wall Street wiseguys spent the past decade taking part in a breathtakingly broad scheme to skim billions of dollars from the coffers of cities and small towns across America. The banks achieved this gigantic rip-off by secretly colluding to rig the public bids on municipal bonds, a business worth $3.7 trillion. By conspiring to lower the interest rates that towns earn on these investments, the banks systematically stole from schools, hospitals, libraries and nursing homes – from "virtually every state, district and territory in the United States," according to one settlement. And they did it so cleverly that the victims never even knew they were being *cheated."

I was going to post this today but then saw it was already

I guess the defense attorneys representing these criminals are right....fraud committed against the American taxpayers over decades by criminals on wall street and by our (s)elected politicians is just too complex for the apathetic citizenry to understand or comprehend. Let the stealing continue.
A long read but well worth
A long read but well worth the time of anyone who doesn't yet understand just how deeply corrupt the government - financial system relationship has become.

Hi ! I have a faded picture of James Apple of Bethalto Illinois taken probably in the 40s. He was the son of Jacob Apple and his wife Corrine with children, Joseph, Belle, Lella, Eileen, and Jesse all older than James who was six in the 1930 census. I wonder what happened to him. Pamela

Ending "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
Communications Error #1
A Failure to Communicate Strategically
- Communications efforts themselves can promote social justice by changing the public's mind about key policy issues.
- Very few non-profits integrate their communications strategies into broader, long term strategies of social justice.
- Many social sector organizations fail to use communications strategies to change the public's mind about critical issues of the day. And that shortcoming can have serious policy implications.
Lessons from the Frontlines of the LGBT Movement WEBINAR (Replay)
- Engage a topic by connecting it to people's aspirations and telling stories that create empathy and respect.
- To get movement on a message, map who drives the dialogue, train grassroots messengers, arm political champions, and watchdog the media.
- Maintaining momentum after a victory is critical. Keep an eye on the opposition's messaging to say a step ahead, and ensure that your base stays motivated.
RACIAL JUSTICE COMMUNICATIONS: Reflections from a ComNet14 discussion
- Racism plays a central role in every social challenge today.
- Communicators face the tricky task of helping an often resistant public to acknowledge and change the effects of racism.
- One approach is to frame communications less around the problem of racial inequity and more around the solution of what racial equity looks like.

Study: Men More Likely to Talk on the Phone than Women
US men have a larger circle of friends abroad than women according to a survey published today. The research, commissioned by new smartphone calling app FooTalk, found that men across the US know an average of 21 people living overseas, compared to women who only keep in touch with 15.
Surprisingly, it also found that men are more likely to pick up the phone for a chat. Women were found to instead rely on social media and emails to stay in touch, flipping the stereotype about women loving to spend hours chatting on the phone.
Men will also spend twice as long on the phone, with an average call time of half an hour, while women only stay on the line for 15 minutes.
The study of 500 Americans also found that over half of Americans speak to relatives or friends who living abroad via the phone, more than they do with those in the same country. Canada, the UK and Australia are the most common locations where Americans had friends and relatives living abroad.
Agony aunt and relationship psychologist, Susan Quilliam elaborates: 'The classic joke is that it's girls who are on the phone for hours. But increasingly it's guys who are becoming bigger fans of the phone conversation - particularly if they want to keep in touch with friends and family who've moved abroad.
"And they're absolutely right to want that; hearing someone's voice is a far richer experience than simply seeing words on a screen. Not only do you learn more about what the other person is thinking and feeling, but also they in turn get to learn more about you. If you talk to someone on the phone, you're fully focused on each other, minute to minute. Add that to the fact that calls are also fully and instantly responsive, immediate and interactive; and phone calls remain a great way of connecting with someone and sharing their daily life - even if they're far away."
56% of Americans make calls to 'gossip' rather than to impart big news. But a quarter of those surveyed admit they sometimes avoid talking to their friends and relatives abroad because of the high call charges, though they would reverse this decision if they could speak for free wherever they were. The hassles of alternative services, such as having to arrange a time to video or phone call that fits in around personal schedules and time differences, were big stumbling blocks for many.

For fall I'm loving a host of trends from menswear to moto, waxed jeans to military pieces. But, there is a growing collection of bits I just love that have nothing to do with trend and everything to do with this IND Styler's personal tastes and affections. We'll start with the most meaningful of them all — The Brave bracelet. At less than $40 from kiki these bracelets help put a stop to human trafficking. With a vibe that's great no matter your style leanings, these simple bracelets are decked with the word 'brave' in Khmer — the native language of Cambodia. The bracelets are handmade in Cambodia by underprivileged artisans.
Over at Maven Womenswear I'm crushing on their floral blazers. Blazers, you see, are a personal obsession. A few funky blazers can take even the most basic wardrobe to a better place. Pair with simple solids and bold statement necklaces.
This list wouldn't be complete without a nod to Vogue. The "In Vogue we trust" top from Vanessa V. is just what this Anna Wintour loving style editor would snuggle up in every weekend come fall — with a copy of Vogue, of course.
NOV 26 Zach Kopplin, who we came to know and love when he was a Louisiana high school student lobbying for the continued inclusion of science stuff in science class, pens this post in The Atlantic about a "textbook" available for social studies instruction in Texas that discusses how Moses contributed to the Constitution. (Oy! Texas rednecks love Jews. Who knew?)
NOV 26 Finally, mad people on the interwebz is a good thing! World wide webby outrage has caused the village of Moreauville to reverse its plan to confiscate pit bulls and Rottweillers and euthanize them simply because of their breed, WAFB reports here. The plan? They're going to enforce the leash law. Well, that would have been a good place to start.
NOV 26 Jim Brown, like many of us Louisiana voters, seems fed up with out of town know-it-alls trying to tell us what to do. Bill Cassidy can't make it through the day without flying someone in to "tell us political retards" how to vote, he says.
NOV 26 Blogger Tom Aswell is writing about the behavior of the two finalists in the 6th Congressional District race: Edwin Edwards and Garret Graves. Edwards has come out swinging, but Graves' campaign seems bent on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, Tom says.
NOV 26 Blogger CB Forgotston is confused, he says, because Governor Bobby Jindal said higher education wouldn't get cut, but it looks like it is being cut. CB's asking: When is a cut not a cut?
NOV 26 Unless you're in Virigina, you shouldn't count on seeing our Governor on Election Day. Mark Ballard writes in the Advocate's political blog that Bobby will be appearing at a GOP love fest of some kind there, instead of spending the day here.
NOV 26 This post on The Lens takes a look at the ongoing dispute in New Orleans over the banners about the upcoming tax election for the school system. The banners are hanging on schools, and some feel they are promotional, which is not allowed, instead of educational - which is allowed.
NOV 26 Not all college students are focused on football games and parties at this time of year. This post on DIG Baton Rouge recounts an LSU student group that tries to make sure that those who are hungry and homeless are not forgotten by those of us who aren't.
NOV 25 Edwin Edwards took off the gloves on Monday, this post on WAFB tells us. At a Press Club appearance, he wondered how his 6th Congressional District opponent, Garret Graves, could be an expert in all the areas in which he claims to be - when he has no college degree in anything. (Five years - FIVE YEARS - in college, but no degree. Huh?)
NOV 25 Blogger Mike Deshotels offers this primer on predatory charter schools and how they operate, specifically in Louisiana. They're not just profiting from our tax dollars, they're using children and shortchanging them to do so, Deshotels says.
NOV 25 Here's a link to the petition that has been created to save Zeus, a family dog who is targeted for death by the learned fathers of the Avoyelles Parish village of Moreauville. They passed an ordinance based on nothing that outlaws pit bulls and Rotweillers. As of Tuesday morning, the petition had more than 230,000 signatures - a number that's a wee bit higher than the village population of 929.
