Welcome to
A Strong Photo,
a Bay Area based portrait photo studio
founded by photographer
Andy Strong.
I believe in dancing in public and smiling at strangers and conquering vertigo via exposure. I love it when people share themselves with me, I love how when you put a shy person in front of a camera they'll stick out their tongue, how when you give over to the camera you are really giving to your future selves. It's an awesome feeling, to be able to see things that the mirror misses. That maybe you hadn't thought to share with your closest friends. And then I'm there, behind this future making black box, in absolute awe of the situation. I think I just saw your soul. I think you just broke on through like you were Jim Morrison. I think we just made something magical. And the best part is, there is this little glimpse of that moment that we get to keep. Where the air has gotten all still-frame and we get to look back and breathe it in again and again. When it's good, it's wonderful. When it's wonderful, it's life-changing. A defining split second. Who do you want to be today? Let's go there!
with Love and gratitude,
A Strong Photo photographer Andy Strong specializes in portraits, headshots, and video production. Andy's work has been featured in publications including Shutter Magazine, the San Francisco Chronicle, and SF Weekly. He is a creative company member of the San Francisco based indy arts community and venue Pianofight, and was a speaker at the Shutterfest Conference in 2019.

Story behind the song
I lost my hat and various other objects that really seem unimportant when I took the time to put them into the perspective of the wild dance of life that we are all a part of. Life. Love. God and all the great mysteries of existance are all dancing wild and we are blessed to be able to know and feel this and syncronize with the wild dance of Creation
Dancing Wild I lost my yellow pencil and I lost my favorite hat but I really know that this wasn't where it's at because I found a scarlet feather and I found a glowing pearl and I know that there's beauty that is priceless in this precious world and money cannot buy it power cannot claim it 'cause it's a dancing wild bronco institutions cannot tame it Now I lost my cheap sunglasses and I lost my house keys and if I keep on loosing things I will be naked in the trees but I found a fresh fruit and I found a small seed and if I keep on looking around I will find everything that I need money cannot grow it and power cannot reap it 'cause it's a dancing wildflower and I intend to tend and keep it now I lost my lunch money and I lost my thought train but all the energy I used will come back to me again because I found some freshwater and I found a peaceful spot and the energy which flows through me no dam can ever stop Money cannot block it power cannot slow it 'cause it's a dancing wild river and it soon will overflow it Now I lost my green money and thus I lost my power Oh but this is what is building up the next babeling tower and I found a wildflower I found a dancing river it's a wild bucking pony but the truth it shall deliver and Money cannot control power cannot reverse 'cause it's a dancing wild speck of dust floating in the universe

About Luxembourg
Founded in 963, Luxembourg became a grand duchy in 1815 and an independent state under the Netherlands. It lost more than half of its territory to Belgium in 1839 but gained a larger measure of autonomy. Full independence was attained in 1867. Overrun by Germany in both world wars, it ended its neutrality in 1948 when it entered into the Benelux Customs Union and when it joined NATO the following year. To learn more read About Luxembourg.

It is historically acceptable to announce new instructables in the forums.

If there is one certainty in my life is that there'll never be enough power for my hardware when push comes to shove. I tend to head out of the house when I'm working under a deadline. It's the only way I can crank out pages without fear of being lured into a marathon session of Skyrim, noodling around on my dulcimer and generally doing anything but what I'm supposed to be doing. At times like this, I can be sure that the battery in whatever device I'm working with will crap out about 45 minutes sooner than I want it to.
Fortunately, ZAGG was good enough to send me one of their ZAGGsparq 2.0 batteries for review. It's one of the few products that I've gotten my mitts on in recent months that I've been tempted to purchase once I was done writing about it. Want to know more? Of course you do. Head on over to TabTimes and read my full take on this sweet life-giving gem of a peripheral.

Also, I've begun work on my icons100 challenge of Drew Baylor, so I should have a few to post soon. And no, I've not forgotten to post more behind-the-scenes pics of E-town, I just honestly don't have the time right now since I'm heading out for a road trip, but I'll post some more after Christmas. I've got over 150 portrait pics, hi res, of Orli and Kirsten, most of which you guys have seen. You want me to post them anyway?

If this runs out, I'll re-upload once I return home Sunday night.
I really want to see this movie again... Bad.
And Happy Holidays to my flist! Hope all your dreams come true! *group hug*
[EDIT] For those Eric Bana fans on my flist--I just saw a story about "Munich" on CNN Headline News. Lots of Eric behind-the-scenes footage and a quick talk with Spielberg. It's only about a 3 minute spot, but lots of Bana-goodness. These things usually run once an hour too. So plenty of time to get.

Are you looking to get your eating habits on the right track and lay off the supplements? Then, consider eating more eggs. Eggs come with many of benefits ranging from weight loss to even helping you have a baby. It is surprising that so many good things can come from such a small package. There are 10 Reasons Why Eggs Are the Most Important Food in your Diet.
- Eggs Increase Your Metabolism
You may think your metabolism is not quite the same as it was in high school, but eating eggs can at least restore a bit of its former glory. Eggs include a healthy mix of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and other vitamins that are essential for a healthy metabolism. They also include iron, which is necessary for your metabolism to function at a high level.
- Eggs Get Rid of Belly Fat
Eggs make it easy to fight back against your beer belly. Eggs are high in monounsaturated fats and great at stopping fat from being distributed in your stomach. In addition to preventing belly fat, they also are great at getting rid of the fat in the rest of your body, as eggs are known to assist in weight loss. Eggs are surprisingly low in calories and high in quality nutrients. Eating eggs for breakfast instead of foods high in carbohydrates have been shown to make it easier to lose weight in patients
- Eggs Help With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Eggs are a great way to deal with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Eggs are packed with B6 vitamins which have been shown to reduce and prevent inflammation that normally comes with rheumatoid arthritis. Paying attention to your diet and getting the right amount of nutrition in your body each day could mean a huge difference in how your rheumatoid arthritis develops over the years.
- Eggs Fight PMS Symptoms
As it turns out, your PMS symptoms could be reduced greatly by just eating the right foods. Eggs qualify as a great food to fight PMS symptoms because they contain a mixture of nutrients that reduce cramping, fatigue, and anemia. These nutrients include iron, protein, zinc, and an assortment of B vitamins. By eating eggs during this period, you will also be able to keep your weight down since you will be full for longer and less likely to eat junk food out of desperation.
- Eggs Have a High Protein Content
Every bodybuilder and action movie buff can tell you how great eggs are for building muscle. The good news is that you don't have to drink them out of a cup-like Rocky Balboa to gain muscle as cooking does the job just fine. Eggs have 6 grams of complete proteins in each serving, which means that they contain the nine essential amino acids for a healthy diet. They are also packed with energy and will keep you full long enough to complete an intense workout.
- Eggs Maintain Sperm Health
A healthy sperm is something that most men worry about when they get married and are ready to have children. Luckily, eggs are also the key to keeping you worry-free. Eggs are a huge source of folate, which is an important nutrient that has been proven to improve sperm mobility and increase male fertility throughout life.
- Eggs Keep You Full for Longer
As mentioned earlier, eggs are high in protein, but they are also high in zinc. The combination of these nutrients will keep you full for longer and prevent you from raiding the pantry in the middle of the night. Eating more eggs may be the key to sticking to a strict diet and losing weight.
- Eggs Speed Up Healing
You may normally think that eating soup is the only thing you need to recover from a wound, but you would be missing out on a great food. Eggs come packed with nutrients that will speed up the healing process. As mentioned earlier, eggs are full of protein and zinc. Protein and zinc are two nutrients that are known to promote accelerated healing and prevent wounds from opening up as easily in the future.
- Eggs Keep Your Electrolytes Flowing
Contrary to popular belief, electrolytes do not only come from popular sports drinks. Keeping a healthy balance of electrolytes will help you keep a regular heartbeat and keep everything else in working order. Eggs can help you maintain a healthy balance of electrolytes because eggs are high in phosphorus. Phosphorus has been proven to prevent water retention and regulate your electrolyte balance.
- Eggs Increase Fertility
As mentioned earlier, eggs can help with sperm mobility but that is not the only reproductive faculty that is benefited by eating eggs. Eggs contain a high amount of selenium, which has been linked to improving fertility. For a healthy chance at having a baby, both partners should eat a healthy dose of eggs before and during a pregnancy.

Some years ago, I found myself destitute and utterly alone, my world suddenly formless and void, without life and hope for the future. As I read the words of Genesis 1, I could identify with the formless void:
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters (Genesis 1:1-2).
Suddenly I had become the single parent of four children. The labels rejected one, despised, abandoned, and unloved sought to destroy me. There were many days that I laid on the floor of my house and looked up to heaven and uttered, "If YOU, Lord, do NOT put your face on my face and breath your breath of life in me, like you did at creation, like you did with Adam when you breathed life into him, I will die".
That was my heart.
However, the Spirit of God was brooding over the surface of my dark soul. I felt like Adam must have been before God breathed the breath of life into Him:
The Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being (Genesis 2:7).
I knew that God would literally have to give me CPR. His voice would have to break into the formless void of my soul if I were to move on, parenting my children. I knew there was something of God I needed. I needed that breath of life that would sustain me day-by-day, moment-by-moment.
What I didn't realize at the time was that Jesus was leading me into something. And because of the hopeless place I was in, I found I was ready to reluctantly go.
I completely understood what Simon Peter must have felt when he proclaimed: "Lord, to whom shall we go? You [alone] have the words of eternal life [you are our only hope]. Whom have I but you Jesus? Where would I go?" (John 6:68 Amp)
The court system didn't offer me hope. A job didn't offer me hope. My children, church, and other people offered no hope. The only place I found hope was in Christ Jesus. He wanted my soul anchored to the truth of who He was…Hope. I had a long arduous journey ahead.
Jesus held the words of life I would need to make it through each day and I desperately wanted to enter into abundant life for the sake of my children. So
I got out my college lined notebook paper, my colored pens and day after day I would give myself pockets of time to attempt to understand the mysterious language of the book Song of Solomon. Jesus wanted me to understand who He was as my Bridegroom…in a season when REJECTED was my name…Jesus wanted to RENAME me. I began to write my love song to the Lord; birthed out a deep place of desperation. My experience with the Lord seemed to be somewhat outside the box back in 1998; however, now the term is "creative journaling".
I said "YES" and learned a process to connect with His heart with crayons, watercolors, colored pens, oil pastels, and more.
I am visual and the journey needed to fun and engaging!
I would write a line or verse in one color. Then I would write my thoughts in another color. Oftentimes there were things that I felt Jesus was telling me and I would write that in yet another color and then I would turn it all into a prayer in another color. I am not an artist but I gave myself permission to color. My journals are filled with me expressing myself outside of the lines. And as I allowed myself the freedom to cast off restraints in my dialogue with Him and in my creative expression, He would meet me time and time again.
Since that time I have learned that the right side of our brain is the creative side, the relational side.
As we use art, music, dance, and other forms of creativity it sparks or unlocks our relational connectors. I was shut down relationally, God knew how to open up my receptors to learn to hear from Him and respond to Him.
Take time to unlock the right side of your brain…get out crayons and a coloring book. Sit on the floor with worship music and let the Lord speak to your through color and movement.
We have a Savior who longs to do this with each of us, in those areas of our life where our identity is not in alignment with His truth. He allows circumstances to show us our deficits, to awaken the longings and the aches. The questions are: will we answer and will we respond?
How do you respond creatively to the Lord?

Photos tell stories. I would like to help you to tell yours!
Not only you want your photos to be technically strong and beautifully composed, you want them to capture those magical moments, the sincere emotions as they happen and those fleeting expressions that will help you recall and retell your treasured stories for years to come.
If you're looking for a photographer who also proudly admits of being a storyteller, then you've found him. My training in photojournalism at University of Technology Sydney as well as additional courses through the Australian Centre for Photography in street and documentary photography, have uniquely equipped me to help you tell your stories through compelling photos.
Over ten years of experience, I've developed a photographic style that is unobtrusive, fresh, intimate and candid. The photos I will take for you go beyond the posed and trite imagery. Instead, they are deeply personal. They reflect a time in your life that expresses exactly who you are in that moment. They capture the tiniest of precious details. They tell your story by showcasing you, your personal cast of characters, your story's milestones, its unique highlights and emotional exchanges.
If you're looking for a photographer who is passionate about helping you capture your story, tell your story, remember it and relive it for years to come, then chances are you need a photographer who is also part storyteller. Luckily, you've found one.
My Goal
I want to stir up deep emotions in you when you look at the photos I have taken for you.
I want to make you well up inside and shed a tear. If that happens then I know I have done my job well.
I want to capture the beautiful moments of your life that you would otherwise forget with the passage of time.

Texas Sass Shows its Love for Animals
Jay Garrett
As Hurricane Harvey recovery efforts continue, so do acts of kindness. Among those who have gone above and beyond to help others are Kristin Mainor and her mother, Paula Thomas.
Together, they run Texas Sass, a local small business that specializes in embroidery and vinyl on just about anything. They monogram bags, shirts, hats, you name it.
"At least once a year, we like to raise money for organizations through the sale of our products," Kristin said.
After raising $300 for Mont Belvieu Police Department in 2016 by selling specially made "All Lives Matter" headbands, Texas Sass chose A Life to Live to support this year.
They recently presented us with a check for $525. They raised the funds by selling T-shirts featuring the words, "You are with me even in deep waters," highlighted on the State of Texas.
"When we saw on the news how many animals were being left behind following all the flooding, it made me want to help animals in need," Kristin said. "I wanted to do this for A Life to Live because of its no-kill mission. I am crazy about animals, and I feel that A Life to Live loves them as much as I do."
We appreciate Kristin and her mom going the extra mile to show their support for homeless pets in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. Their generous donation will help us continue providing life-saving services for dogs and cats in our local community.
You can learn more about Texas Sass on Facebook.
If you would like to support A Life to Live, please consider donating at www.adopttosave.org/donate.

The GPS Squad
Memphis Salvation Army youth group gives, prays and serves
Approximately five years ago, Christina Roberts began volunteering at the Memphis Salvation Army. It was a way not only she, but also her children, could help the community. At the time, her children were in high school, and she was looking for ways to keep them engaged in beneficial activities.
Her son, Preston, had dreamt up an idea for his school's Civic Service Organization, but it was rejected. Roberts pitched it to the Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary (of which she's now the rising president) and Development Director Ellen Westbrook, and the GPS Squad was born.
"GPS stands for the three ways you can serve The Salvation Army – giving, praying or serving," Roberts said. "You can do one, two or all three. It's a way for families or friends to get together and serve side-by-side. Also, we have them use a GPS device to figure out where we're going to be next. "
The squad started with a core group of youth and their families and has grown to the approximately 500 people on the email list now (though she notes some of those are family duplicates, with parents and children both signed up). The teenage volunteers represent schools all across Memphis.
"God has bigger plans than what we had in mind," Roberts said. "We've been doing it for three years, and we've had raging success with getting people involved and knowing what The Salvation Army is besides the red kettles."
A big part of the GPS Squad's work involves the Memphis Salvation Army's Purdue Center of Hope, which houses an emergency family shelter, a shelter for single women and Renewal Place, a two-year residential recovery program for drug-addicted women and their children. There are around 125 people there every day, including 40-70 children.
"We go one Sunday a month and put on a Family Fun Night," Roberts said. "We'll do things like cookie decorating and games, movie nights and dance parties or bingo. It's just a way for the moms to let their hair down and relax and their kids to just have fun. That's what we're there for – to have fun.
"There's a big parking lot, and twice a year – the Fall Festival and the Spring Carnival – we'll use the [Salvation Army's] mobile canteen to have a cookout, with a bouncy house and lots of games."
The Family Fun Nights are so popular they've expanded to include the Kroc Center, the Salvation Army's large community center that offers physical, mental and spiritual enrichment. Additionally at the Kroc Center, the GPS Squad has helped with the Easter Extravaganza (where more than 12,000 eggs are dropped from a helicopter onto the center's soccer fields) and its anniversary celebration.
In the summer, the GPS Squad is the volunteer staff for Camp Hope, a day camp for children who are staying at the Purdue Center of Hope. It was started by children's case manager Roberta Perry as a replacement for the canceled Shelby County Schools summer day camp. With Camp Hope, the children spend their days enjoying fun, educational activities while their mothers are looking for jobs or otherwise helping their family.
The GPS Squad has also helped with the Angel Tree warehouse, as well as gift wrapping (as many as 850 gifts) and stocking stuffing for the 125 men and women at the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center.
"We never know where we're going to be next or what we'll be doing. We go in a lot of different direction," said Roberts, who is still very involved with the squad, even though her kids have both graduated and gone to college.
Being on the GPS Squad and helping children has had a big effect on the teen volunteers, she added. Many of them attend private school, and this volunteering "makes them think outside the box of their little, perfect world."
"To watch these teenage volunteers is fascinating. They are growing as much as the kids in the Purdue Center, who are seeing these familiar faces coming back and looking at them as role models. They're building these cool relationships."
One eighth grader was inspired after a Family Fun Night to create a prayer jar, which has now become part of the Family Fun Night ritual. She suggested to Roberts that they should have a jar for everyone at the Purdue Center to drop in prayer request, which will be lifted up at the next Family Fun Night.
"The first time we did it, we ran out of cards," Roberts said. "The employees were putting their requests in too, and we didn't think about that. So now, we've put a bucket in each of the shelters and at the front desk. At the beginning of every Family Fun Night, we get the buckets and someone does a devotion; then, we have a silent moment of prayer for the prayer cards and whoever did the devotion closes with a prayer before we go have fun."
The devotions and everything else the GPS Squad does is managed electronically. There are no meetings to discuss plans; instead people sign up online for everything, and event details, maps and reminders are emailed to them. This means the only time the teens have to devote to the GPS Squad is the time for events.
"Kids don't have time for meetings. We use a SignUpGenius, where they use their phones to sign up. They volunteer to bring stuff on the day of the event or to do certain activities at it."
She said this works out for the pace of life these days. It also helps to draws the teens into volunteerism, which is something she hopes they'll continue.
"The GPS Squad has been a wonderful way to get people involved who are not the typical folks who want to get involved. When you get teenagers involved and excited about something, you're planting seeds for the future. Once they graduate, if they come back to Memphis or go to another city, there's going to be a Salvation Army there for them."

Diabetes drug (MSDC-0160) slows Parkinson's progression in lab models
The takeawayMSDC-0160, a drug originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, has been shown to impede Parkinson's disease progression in laboratory models of the disease. The study authors and drug developer are working through regulatory issues and seeking funding for human clinical trials.
Why is it important?Current Parkinson's treatments help manage symptoms but do not slow or stop disease progression. If MSDC-0160 is as successful in human clinical trials as it was in the lab, it could potentially give patients more years with reduced symptoms.
- Novelty 100% 100%
- Proximity 60% 60%
- Deliverability 100% 100%
Impact opinionThe Cure Parkinson's Trust (CPT) and Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) are currently working with MSDC to address regulatory issues and obtain funding to organize a clinical trial, which Brundin hopes can begin sometime in 2017.
Other things to know
- MSDC-0160 is an investigational drug, meaning it is not currently approved for use to treat Parkinson's
- A clinical trial is in development but is not yet open.
The detailsMSDC-0160 sensitizes cells to insulin allowing them to properly metabolize glucose, a process which is impaired in type 2 diabetes. MSDC-0160 appears to improve mitochondrial function by targeting the mitochondrial protein MPC (mitochondrial pyruvate carrier), which is a key controller of cellular metabolism. This keeps the cell and its trash removal systems working properly, protecting against the build up of abnormal proteins and eventual death of dopamine cells usually seen in Parkinson's.
Next stepsThe Cure Parkinson's Trust (CPT) is also funding Dr Brundin in two addition ongoing preclinical research projects involving MSDC-0160:
- MSDC-0160 vs Pioglitozone (a similar drug previously tested in Parkinson's) looking at target interaction
- MSDC-0160 plus Exenatide (another diabetes treatment which has shown potential disease modifying effects in Parkinson's)
The goal of this ongoing work is to determine the level of interaction of MSDC-0160 with its target protein MPC and to understand if the combination of MSDC-0160 and Exenatide can change the course of the disease more potently than either drug alone. Positive results from this research would provide key supporting evidence to move MSDC-0160 into a clinical trial.
Related work
Another type 2 diabetes target (the GLP-1 receptor) has also been shown to be of relevance in Parkinson's. Activation of GLP-1 receptors in the pancreas stimulates insulin release however GLP-1 receptors are also found throughout the brain and activation of such receptors has been shown to improve dopamine neuron function, reduce inflammation, switch on cell survival signals and help improve energy production in models of Parkinson's.
A recent trial of Exenatide for Parkinson's has shown promise in slowing the progression of Parkinson's and two further trials using similar drugs, liraglutide and lixsenatide are being currently underway. More information about these trials can be found on the CPT website.
If you are interested in taking part in a clinical trial near you, take a look at Fox Trial Finder.

New Zealand has 11 legally designated wilderness areas and two proposed. These areas, by definition, are our most remote places and require great physical effort to access; their protection, however, relies largely on people who may never have a chance to explore and enjoy them. Wilderness areas are pristine and are home to some of our most vulnerable species; they are places set aside for natural processes to take place largely free from human impact, noise and traffic and where only the hardiest trampers can go for quiet enjoyment of the wild.

As a producer, receiving feedback about your music can be helpful, constructive and give you an idea of how people will react to your ideas. On the other hand, feedback from the wrong person can be simply confusing or discouraging.
Knowing whose feedback is valuable and how to interpret that information is a skill that will greatly improve your productions. The following post explores a few ways to get most of out the feedback you receive.
Producing music is a little bit like performing magic. To a magician, a trick is a series of moves which leads to a result. From the perspective of the audience however, it simply appears as magic.
Similarly when you have created a piece of music, you know every sample and plugin that has been used to create it. This often leads to a track sounding like a collective of parts rather than as a whole.
By receiving feedback, you can see the effect your music has on an audience who is simply experiencing the music. You might find out that a section is too long or a particular sound is irritating to the listener. On the other hand if your music is well received, it can provide confirmation that you are heading in the right direction.
Who To Ask?
People who understand and enjoy the type of music you make will give you the best feedback as they know what is correct for the genre and will pick up on what is out of place.
Great feedback often comes from more experienced producers and engineers as they can shed light on technical and stylistic elements, drawing on a depth of knowledge.
However, It can also prove useful to listen to people with little to no audio production experience as they will react purely on how the music makes them feel.
Sort It Out
It's important to sort the useful opinion from the irrelevant. Although difficult, it's also important not to put too much weight on any one response; positive, negative or indifferent.
As a rule of thumb, if you are confident with a decision you have made and someone disagrees with it, you should stay true to your decision. If the feedback brings your focus to an area or element that you previously overlooked or were never quite sure of, it's a good indication that it needs work.
At the end of the day, music is about creativity and individuality. The combination of sounds you have chosen and the way they are represented are unique to you. If you have a vision, you should stay true to that.
Although feedback can be a great way to gauge how people will respond to your work, it can also put strong feelings of doubt in your mind when there shouldn't be. Be wise about who you ask for advice and don't be afraid of someone's opinion if it goes against what you strongly believe.

When all that you have long held to be TRUE is no longer working.
Or: "A frank talk is good soap for the hearts." Arabian Proverb
In the midst of all the news of the tragic massacre on the campus of Virginia Tech, I have tried to keep perspective as we deal with our own chaos with our son. I keep trying. I keep praying for the victims and students, families and friends, who have suffered such a tremendous loss.
"To you, O Lord, I call." Joel 1:19
I truly wanted to post a Tackle it Tuesday or Tuesday Trivia....something light and fun.....for it always brightens my day. Still, upon waking this morning and finding my grown son pacing in the kitchen, it is highly unusual that he had come home in the middle of the night to sleep in our guest bedroom--my radar went wild. Our son is in the middle of yet another manic attack. Our suspicions are only fortified by his unusal behavior, that he may be coming down from a drug use. The confrontation that ensued did not lead to answers to our questions or a sense of honest communication. Instead we are left with our emotional hands tied and our son's confusion heightened and out of control.
As he left our home, the same home that once held his heart safely in its walls, we mourn the loss of yet another piece of our son. The help that we offer may be harming him. The love that compells us to remain in his life may only be destroying our relationship. How can this be? How can loving someone destroy them?
As I looked at my 6'4" son this morning, I desperately sought to see any remnant of the precious little boy that I gave birth to. His heart is hurting, my maternal instincts are firing--yet, the help that I offer only provokes anger.
As he left, with the closing of the front door, I felt a slamming of my faith's porthole. Can I be very honest? I am struggling to find the TRUTH in any of this. That is what the enemy does--he stalks and preys. He is stalking my son and preying on my faith.
Mark 9:24: "Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"
Exclaimed! I appreciate this word this morning. This is my exclamation as I wander through my morning. "Help me overcome my unbelief!" How beautiful is our God that even when we doubt Him, He remains with us. Although this loving of a prodigal has been a decade long journey for us, one truth that remains evident--He continues to love us and work in our lives.
"Turn, O LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love." Psalm 6:4
I find that I am challenged this morning; challenged to stretch my fading faith to another level. At the risk of having a post that is too long for interest, I want to share with you a passage from a book I keep at my nightstand: From After the Locusts by Jan Coleman. After enduring a tragic loss, the author writes:
"She had no more strength left to believe. She had fought with everything in her and had lost. [...] Later, in the darkness of her bedroom, curtains drawn against the cold drizzle, she realized, "My hope was lost, replaced with shattered dreams." Lord, she prayed, are You there? I need You to speak to me, if You want me to continue in my hope. Please show me what to do.
That evening in church the pastor's thundering voice dropped to a low rumble. "Have you lost hope? God wants you to look up. He is with you and will restore your hope in Him."
"I was stunned. The message was too immediate to be a coincidence. Maybe God is with me, I reasoned."
Linda began to see that she had missed God's truth by placing her faith, not in Him, but in herself. "I had spent all my energy trying to have faith in faith! I had been held captive by trusting myself instead of trusting God."
In the stillness of the garage that night, she turned off the engine of the car, laid her head against the steering wheel, and prayed, Lord, I transfer all my faith from myself to You. "In my mind's eye, I could see Jesus' loving face as I handed Him back the limp body of my daughter. Lord, she is yours. I am going to trust you with her future. My faith in you no longer depends on her healing."
"Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love." Joel 2:13
OR: When all that you have long held to be true is no longer working: seek HIS TRUTH!
Worthy of any Tackle it Tuesday......isn't it!?

Wow. That's all I know to say. Satan is attacking on every hand. He seems to have free reign right now. I know Who holds tomorrow, and Who holds our hands, but it is difficult in the fire. I am praying for you, Curt, and Gordy. And for your other two kids. As I know you are praying for us!
- Linda said...
At a time in my life when I was so devasted I couldn't even pray, others prayed for me. I'm going to be praying for you.
I loved the passage you quoted. I think there comes a time in our relationship with the Lord when He asks "Do you love me enought to trust me?" At least, that is the question that burned its way into my heart. The most difficult thing I have ever had to do is release those most precious to me into His hands and then simply trust.
I don't really know what that will mean in your situation. I only know that God truly is there - even when He seems so distant we can't begin to see Him.
I don't want to sound glib. I know how it can hurt to have someone just speak in platitudes when your heart is breaking. I just want to share my heart and tell you that even when your worst nightmare comes true - He is there. I know it's true. I have lived it.
- Diane said...
Linda...and Dawn--
I can not begin to tell you how much your prayers mean to me...and my family. There is nothing 'glib' at all....about knowing that you are covered in prayer....and hear the stories of those that have walked in my exact 'shoes.' It is not glib--it is God--at work! Thank you!
- groovyoldlady said...
Diane, I keep picturing your son pacing in MY kitchen. Bonehead paces when he's agitated.
We can't be the Holy Spirit for our kids. We HAVE to give them over to His mercy and to His discipline. It's not fun, but it's good.
- Barb said...
The best Tackle It Tuesday I've ever seen. By far.
This is gut wrenching, Diane. I'm praying.
- Kelly Klepfer said...
Ah, Sister.
I so wanted to post something light-hearted today, too.
I feel the burden in your words. Your pain. I've been so low before - been so without faith that I hoped for something from Him to let me know He hadn't given up on me.
Then I was reminded of the day He began to preach tough things - things about making decisions and truly following Him, and the crowds left. He asked His disciples if they would leave Him, too. One of them, I think Peter the denier,answered "where else can we go, You have the words of life."
That keeps me from going totally into faithlessness, the same question. I haven't found any other source of words of life.
- Melzie said...
Thanks for dropping by my blog. I love yours (who is singing on the sidebar? Nice!) I am sorry you are in the valley right now..as one who has been there done that you will be in my prayers. xoxo melzie

Yes Diane you have tackled Tuesday. You will tackle Wed, Thur,Fri,Sat, Sun, Mon, and Tues again. How do I know this? I know it because even in the midst of the worst, you always post about the BEST. The enemy may be trying to wear you down, but he can not prevail against the One who lives inside you. You and yours are in my prayers.
- Nadine said...
Lord I pray right now that your build Diane's faith and strengthen her. Give her Your peace. I pray Lord that you bring her son unto Yourself. I will continue to hold you up in prayer.
- Susan said...
Diane. Your post today was the first of your blog that I have read. You quoted my favorite scripture. Truly my favorite cry: "Help Me Overcome My Unbelief"! Lifting you and your son up.
- Pearls of Wisdom said...
Dearest Diane,
I am so sorry for what you are going through with your son. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your whole family. I will continue to lift you in my prayers throughout the day my sister in Christ.
In his endless love,
Angel Mama

As I sit here with tears streaming down my face ... I had to thank God for an answer to a prayer I just prayed about 2 hours ago. I left work to walk ... I like to get out and usually spend the time praying ... I had been praying for my son and was feeling at a total loss ... and told the Lord what to I do? Where do I go next? You visited my blog today and then I had to read about your son. The answers were in this post ... thank you so much! I'll be praying for YOU and YOUR son. Blessings and Hugs!!!!
- AuburnGalAlways said...
Thank you for visiting my blog earlier today. I appreciate the comments.
And thank you for your candid post. My children are still small, 6 years and 3 months, so I'm not yet having to deal with much more than simple disobedience and a smart mouth. I pray for you as you deal with the challenges surrounding your son's life.
I also feel the enemy's attacks. I have turned my back on my relationship with God so that I don't have to deal with certain habits and poor choices. It is causing problems in my marriage and simply must end. It is quite painful to admit this about myself and take each step to make the necessary changes.
Your post inspires me to do better and seek out God through His Word.
Again, thank you.
- Looney Mom said...
I just read all the way down your blog at the last week's posts; wow! Very honest and inspiring.
I'm sorry that you are going through this with your son. I know how much it hurts to see your children make poor choices. I can also relate to the back pain. I've been there for just 3 months but it has been the longest 3 months of my life. My heart breaks for both of you.
I'm glad that you were able to see past the depression. As a manic depressive I find it difficult to really get out of the hole and PRESS ON! Thanks for that. God bless you and your family. I pray that your prodigal will return.
- Cheryl said...
I could hear your heart as I read this post. I can't imagine that when my little ones grow up the may break my heart with decisions they make and my helplessness in it. I hope that people will come along and pray with me, lift my arms when they get too tired and believe when I lose faith.
2nd Corinthians 13 reminds us that what is seen is temporal and what is unseen is of eternal worth. In that unseen place is precisely where our God is working. We will only see a dim reflection now but one day - praise God!! - we will see the finished work of the Father's hands. Hold on to what you have prayed for - we believe with you that God's finished work is coming.!
He loves you dearly and He hears every prayer you breath. Not a tear falls that he doesn't see.
- Perri said...
Diane, I'm so sorry this battle against satan continues so fierecly for your family.
You are in my prayers.

Opinion Columns & Blogs
More than meets the eye on 'anti-rape' vote
Picking one's battles has never been trickier, especially if you're a member of the benighted Republican Party.
So the question is this: Do you support rape?
And, of course, no one (except a rapist) does, right?
Yet 30 Republican members of the U.S. Senate have been getting phone calls lately from people asking, "Why do you support rape?"
These callers most likely are familiar with the mock Web site RepublicansForRape.org, which recounts the recent skirmish over a so-called anti-rape amendment to the Senate defense appropriations bill proposed by Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn.
The amendment, which passed Oct. 6 by a 68-30 vote, was intended to prevent the Pentagon from contracting with companies that require employees to resolve disputes through arbitration rather than through the courts.
The impetus behind the amendment was the 2005 horror story of a 20-year-old employee of Halliburton/KBR in Iraq, who alleged that she was drugged, gang-raped and held captive for 24 hours in a shipping container without food or water. When she sought legal recourse, the defense contractor argued that under its employment contract she had to pursue her complaint through arbitration rather than the courts.
No one hearing details of the alleged assault wants to be on the side of those who attacked her — or the company that refused to help her. If you're a remotely savvy politician, that's not a battle you want to join. One might assume, therefore, that there must be some reasonable explanation for 30 Republican senators — including Kansans Pat Roberts and Sam Brownback — taking a position that would invite vilification, other than that Halliburton donates more campaign money to Republicans than to Democrats.
Politically, this couldn't be worse timing for Republicans, who can't seem to shake their white-male-patriarchal-oppressor image. Picture it: 30 Republicans, all men and all white, pitted against a young woman who says she was raped by a gang of Halliburton thugs.
Republicans, alas, haven't been brilliant in explaining their position. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., in a statement cringingly ridiculed by Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show," said the Senate shouldn't be in the business of regulating contracts and that the amendment was a political attack on Halliburton.
In fact, the reason some Republicans objected is that the amendment was overbroad and might not be enforceable. The latter possibility was raised by the Defense Department in a letter to senators, saying that the department or its contractors "may not be in a position to know about such things. Enforcement would be problematic."
It would be easy enough to infer a conspiracy of denial, if not for the fact that the White House agrees.
The real goal, obviously, should be to ensure that no one is denied access to justice and that arbitration agreements are nonbinding in criminal acts. In fact, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last month in the woman's favor, agreeing that the alleged gang rape wasn't related to her employment and that she therefore wasn't bound by the company's arbitration agreement.
The employee's painful ordeal is far from over, and her byzantine route to justice has been indefensibly arduous, but at least now she can have her day in court.
Though it appears that there are plenty of bad guys in this story — may they get their due — the 30 Republican senators have been unfairly smeared for doing the harder thing, for the right reasons.

Christmas for some may mean a revolving door of relatives and friends coming to your home, endless parties if you love socialising, and even if you're having a 'quiet' one, nobody wants to get bogged down with cleaning, tidying or washing up!
When choosing cleaning products, it can be overwhelming, the sheer number of products at your disposal is endless. The other thing that is overwhelming when using standard products is the smell – bleaches, detergents, and a multiple array of other toxic chemicals can leave an unpleasant smell in your home, not to mention making it uncomfortable to breathe!
I have discovered a company whose products are 100% natural, environmentally-friendly, formulated with specially selected plant extracts which are known for their antimicrobial and antibacterial properties, fully biodegradable which means that they are safe for the planet's water courses AND paraben-free, chlorine-free, SLS-free, triclosan-free and do not contain other harsh, toxic chemicals. On top of this they have a pleasant natural citrus smell.
Check out NU-ECO – although there are other "natural" cleaning products around on the market, many are actually less than 100% natural (they only need to be around 85% to claim to be natural). NU-ECO are 100% natural guaranteed and are planet, animal and wildlife friendly. Safe to use in households with babies and pets.
They have a wide range of great products for both home, garden and pets. Here are some of my favourites:
Natural Bleach Powder
I'm excited by a natural Bleach Powder that is a safe, effective, water soluble whitener and colour brightener, which can be added to your wash cycle with Nu-Eco Laundry Gel and perfect if the wash load is soiled.
It's colour and fabric safe so will brighten both whites and colours and will not turn fabrics yellow or grey over time. It works as an effective stain removal in cold or hot water although it is not recommended on silk or wool items.
Just add half a scoop to the laundry gel for soiled or slightly stained laundry. It can be used to soak badly stained clothes overnight in warm water and will keep white shirts, sheets and other linens from yellowing.
A scoop left overnight in the toilet bowl removes stains and is completely water course and septic tank friendly and environmentally safe.
Nu-Eco Hygenic Surface Cleanser (Spray)
This is a handy spray that can be used to quickly and hygienically clean all hard surfaces. It's a great daily spray which hygienically cleans and is antibacterial without leaving any toxic residue. The natural botanical extracts used in this formulation washes away germs with a lovely fresh lime & mint natural fragrance.
It is 100% biodegradable, safe for pets and non-polluting to water systems.
Nu-Eco Natural Surface Cleaner
This concentrated surface cleaner comes in a bottle rather than a spray and it has great multi-purpose uses, it can be diluted to various strengths depending on the level of cleaning needed. The formula is powerful enough to tackle really tough surface stains around the house whilst still being natural, so it won't leave nasty chemical toxins behind.
It's specifically formulated to be tough on dirt and germs but gentle on your hands. 100% biodegradable and safe for pets and watercourses.

Youth Lacrosse in Philadelphia
By Michael Noone
Growing up in Philadelphia, I started playing lacrosse in the 3rd grade and began watching high school games a few years later. It was quickly apparent to me that Philadelphia lacrosse was not top-tier, but rather the best players in the country were from Maryland and Long Island. I couldn't really understand why Philadelphia lacrosse was so far behind other geographic areas that were so close in location. While trying to see what accounted for this, I quickly realized it was the quality of the youth programs rather than the genetic talent for lacrosse in these areas. Youth lacrosse programs in Long Island and Maryland had great structure; they were led by talented coaches and players and started at a very young age. In contrast, Philadelphia lacrosse lacked severely in these aspects and did not have the same commitment to lacrosse.
However, I was very fortunate due to the fact that my youth lacrosse program was one of the exceptions, and was run very similar to a youth team in Maryland or Long Island. By the time I was twelve years old, our team had already won two state championships. As we grew older, most of the team stuck together and went on to play at LaSalle High School. Due to our strong youth program, our success continued as we captured two consecutive high school championships and were ranked in the top five in the country. My graduating class had an astonishing 12 Division I college lacrosse recruits, and I was one of those twelve. I chose to attend Lehigh due to their combination of great lacrosse and academics. The coaches at Lehigh made it very clear that they were dedicated to turn a struggling program around very quickly. After meeting all of the fellow recruits in my class, I was ecstatic with the group of kids I would be spending the next four years with.
There is no doubt that top-tier high school lacrosse programs and Division 1 recruits have a direct correlation with strong youth lacrosse programs. In contrast to when I was younger, Philadelphia lacrosse has now arrived. Division I college lacrosse players from Philly are now able to compete with recruits from Maryland and Long Island. Additionally, elite high school programs have emerged around Philadelphia which is a direct result of the hard work, commitment, and quality instruction in the youth programs. For myself, and most Division I college lacrosse players, the college lacrosse experience is an extension of the commitment made in youth and high school lacrosse. A few factors played a large part in this transformation. Many older Philadelphia players started taking pride in their region and dedicated themselves to starting strong, structured youth teams. Additionally, the lacrosse platform in Philadelphia grew due to the two professional teams in that area. They really helped to create buzz for younger athletes and generated interest.
Fortunately, I was part of the turnaround in Philly. Kids from Maryland and Long Island need to realize that the rest of the country will soon be able to compete, and the days of regional lacrosse dominance are quickly coming to an end.

BEAUTIFOOLISH: Justina Gervyte
February 2014 at The Bridge presents an exhibition of collage/print/drawing by Justina Gervyte, an artist and illustrator from Vilnius, Lithuania. Having cultivated advanced skills in drawing and painting at the National M. K. Ciurlionis School of Arts, in 2010 she arrived in the UK to study illustration at Norwich University of the Arts. This allowed her not only to explore new techniques and media but also provided her with the confidence to develop a visual language, connecting experimentation with experience. Since graduating from the course she has continued to search for new ways of seeking inspiration and self reflection. Full of dynamic patterns, vivid colours and contrast between chosen media, Justina's images often celebrate duality; a dialogue between herself and the audience and the symbolic meaning of literally everything in a piece.

FQ: At what age did you begin doing Cryptoquips?
SC: I was much too old. Given that they are a sleep aid for me, I bemoan my many decades of relying on warm milk, ambien, doing breathing exercises, reading boring stuff, etc. to help me sleep.
FQ: Which Cryptoquip master has had the most influence on your cryptoquipping style?
SC: Probably my friend, Peggy, who about 10 years ago was the person who introduced me to them at her cabin in Vermont. Since then I've been on my own.
FQ: What have been some highlights of your career as a Cryptoquipist thus far?
SC: Solving it with only 1 letter that matches. That had to evolve though — at first when I saw that situation I would just say "that's mean of them" and quit. Then back to drinking warm milk which is kind of yucky when you think about it, because you either get re-energized getting up to brush your teeth or sleep with the taste of milk — both unappealing. But no more — I keep going. On occasion, if I'm falling asleep in the middle of it, I will finish it the next day.
FQ: What is your record time for completing a Cryptoquip?
SC: I guess I better start timing them. I worry though that that may mess up my sleeping strategy.
FQ: Do you recommend eating while cryptoquipping?
SC: Never. I don't eat in bed. This is my routine: I go to bed, first read the comics, then start the Cryptoquip. I take my time, trying not to get impatient. The first pleasure is completing it; the second is waking my husband up, if necessary, to read him the pun and listen to his groan and his verdict — most often it's, "that's really terrible," but once in a while I hit the jackpot with "that's not bad." Then I'm ready to sleep.
Susan Chamberlain lives in Piedmont CA with her husband John Chalik, the one who groans at puns. Together, they bear the formal title of The Foremost, Finest, Fun-est, Fabulous-est, and Fiendishly-Alliterative-est Friends of Formosa Quartet, and of Piedmont Chamber Music Festival, where FQ will in in residence July 30-Aug 5.

" I like to tell my friends that I go to yoga for my hands. I don't think of myself as a creative person but I am a risk taker. It really helps to have a teacher who not only encourages you but truly pushes you to try new things. Things that people don't think they are able to do become possible. I feel much more confident than before." Sarah

The Batman Franchise
This week Noah and SPECIAL GUEST Matthew J. Blanchard discuss The Batman Franchise, The Passing of Adam West, and much more...
In this episode of The Movie Ark Podcast I'm joined by one of our regular writers for thearkofe.com, resident DC Comics Expert/Aficionado, and cousin, Matthew J. Blanchard. This episode was of course prompted by the recent passing of the legendary Bright Knight himself, Adam West. I've been trying to get Matt on an episode for quite some time; but following West's death he demanded his debut episode be devoted to a discussion of one of the most iconic characters to ever grace the page and screens both big and small. We open with a brief tribute to West and the Batman 66' Series and transition into our breakdown of all of the live-action theatrically released films in the franchise (from Batman: The Movie to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice).

Capacitors continued
A 1-farad capacitor would typically be pretty big. It might be as big as a can of tuna or a 1-lita soda bottle, depending on the voltage it can handle. For this reason, capacitors are typically measured in microfarads (millionths of a farad).
To get some perspective on how big a farad is, think about this:
A standard alkaline AA battery holds about 2.8 amp-hours.
That means that a AA battery can produce 2.8 amps for an hour at 1.5 volts (about 4.2 watt-hours -- a AA battery can light a 4-watt blub for a little more than an hour).
Let's call it 1 volt to make the math easier. To store one AA battery's energy in a capacitor, you would need 3,600*2.8=10,080 farads to hold it, because an amp-hour is 3,600 amp-seconds. If it takes something the size of a can of tuna to hold a farad, then 10,080 farads is going to take up a lot more space than a singe AA battery. Obviously, its impractical to use capacitors to store any significant amount of power unless you do it at a high voltage.
The difference between a capacitor and a battery is that a capacitor can dump its entire charge in a tiny fraction of a second, where a battery would take minutes to completely discharge. That's why the electronic flash on a camera uses a capacitor -- the battery charges up the flash's capacitor over several seconds, and then the capacitor dumps the full charge into the flash tube almost instantly. This can make a large, charged capacitor extremely dangerous -- flash units and TVs have warnings about opening them up for this reason. They contain big capacitors that can, potentially, kill you with the charge they contain.
Capacitors are used in several different ways in electronic circuits:
Sometimes, capacitors are used to store charge for high-speed use. That's what a flash does. Big lasers use this technique as well to get very bright, instantaneous flashes.
Capacitors can also eliminate ripples. If a line carrying DC voltage has ripples or spikes in it, a big capacitor can eve out the voltage by absorbing the peaks and filling in the valleys.
A capacitor can block DC voltage. If you hook a small capacitor to a battery, then no current will flow between the poles of the battery once the capacitor charges. However, any alternating current (AC) signal flows through a capacitor unimpeded. That's because the capacitor will charge and discharge as the alternating current fluctuates, making it appear that the alternant current is flowing.

Can you start by telling me your name, year and major?
My name is Dylan Potente, I am an upcoming junior and I'm majoring in political science.
Where in the World are you this summer?
This summer I went to Alaska!
Why did you go to Alaska?
I went to Alaska for a couple reasons. I have family who lives there, and my cousin graduated high school in May, so my parents and I decided to take a trip to visit them.
Was this your first time there?
I've been once before, without my parents when I was 16.
What was your favorite part about your trip?
My favorite part of the the trip had to be the scenery of the gorgeous Mountains and the wildlife as there are tons of sea lions, sea otters, moose, and bald eagles in Alaska.
What did you gain from your experience?
What I gained from my experience is enjoying the small things in life. Spending time with family, enjoying the outdoors, all the things we take for granted.
Any advice or tips to anyone looking to go to Alaska?
Advice for anyone looking to travel to Alaska would be to prepare for the flight. The flight is very long. Also, internet and cell service in Alaska is pretty bare, not what we're used to. Lastly I would say to just enjoy it! It's such a beautiful state, there's always something to do there. Take advantage of it!
