Blood is made of red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, and platelets. PRP is blood plasma that contains a high level of platelets. Proteins and growth factors in these platelets facilitate this innovative treatment process by first inducing an inflammatory reaction that in turn stimulates and accelerates the permanent repair and regeneration of damaged or injured tissue.
PRP is created by taking a small sample of a patient's blood and placing it in a centrifuge, a special device that spins at high speeds to separate the platelets from the other components in the blood. The platelets are then injected into the affected area, where they enable new collagen to develop. Over time, the damaged tissue improves. Often, only one treatment is necessary to realize results.
While the same-day procedure may cause some initial localized soreness, in the long run it significantly alleviates pain and poses little risk of complications. PRP, which Dr. Kripsak has performed for many years now, is used to treat a range of sports-related injuries and conditions, including tendonitis and tears of tendons and ligaments, as well as osteoarthritis.

Church Administrators
Herald Press publishes new book on spiritual formation
Clymer siblings co-write The Spacious Heart
November 19, 2014 | Artbeat | Number 23
MennoMedia
Many people have grown tired of the pat answers that the church and religion have provided regarding questions of faith and meaning in life.
A new book addressing the deepest questions of the soul, The Spacious Heart: Room for Spiritual Awakening, was released by Herald Press this fall. The authors, siblings Donald Clymer and Sharon Clymer Landis, offer 12 keys—or insights—for unlocking the heart for spiritual growth.
Don is a spiritual director and Spanish professor who has led cross-cultural semesters at Eastern Mennonite University (EMU), in Harrisonburg, Va.; younger sister Sharon is a writer, spiritual director and retreat leader from eastern Pennsylvania.
Don and Sharon spoke about their mutual spiritual interests during a family gathering in early 2010.
Don's experiences teaching a senior seminar at EMU dealing with suffering and loss had deeply moved him as he discovered the frequency of brokenness among students. Added to the brokenness were their questions about faith and God. "I wrote the book with them in mind, hoping that I could guide them toward a deeper commitment to God and a more 'spacious heart,' " explains Don.
Impetus for Sharon came from knowing of spiritual seekers who long for emotional and spiritual intimacy with themselves, others and God. "I wrote to encourage more understanding that gaining self-knowledge is not narcissistic, but actually helps one know the 'source' of life and love," Sharon says.
In The Spacious Heart, Sharon describes some of her fears of getting involved in spiritual direction: ". . . my [spiritual] director's companioning me, and her deep listening, reflected love to me. This allowed me to heal and grow in intimate, close relationships with others and with God." Still, she had no plans to become a spiritual director herself. "But the Spirit and my own heart kept drawing me," she recalls. She enrolled in training at Kairos: School of Spiritual Formation, in Lancaster, Pa., in 2008, and began taking on those seeking spiritual direction in 2009.
Sharon uses many stories in the book, some from her spiritual direction practice and others from her upbringing, feeling that stories help people understand where they come from and where they want to go. "I wrote to encourage all who are disillusioned with church or old faith paradigms, who long for stories of spiritual awakening, and who aren't able to go to a spiritual director," notes Sharon.
Don first became involved in spiritual direction as a mentee, and then took training to be a spiritual director. He has been giving spiritual direction since 2003.
Both Don and Sharon also blog regularly at www.donrclymer.blogspot.com and www.spiritsongsl.blogspot.com, respectively.
The authors hope that the book reaches a wider audience than the Mennonite church, including as a possible textbook for classes on spiritual formation.
Marva J. Dawn, who contributed the foreword for the book, praises The Spacious Heart's emphasis on justice and other "traditional" Mennonite issues. "Several of the traits that are usually associated with Mennonites make this one of the best books on spiritual disciplines that I have ever read," Dawn writes.
Mary Herr, who cofounded The Hermitage retreat centre in Three Rivers, Mich., with her late husband Gene, notes that there are not a lot of Mennonite-authored books on classic spiritual disciplines. "A book by Menno writers on spiritual disciplines is sheer gift," she says, adding, "So grateful for the book."

Message summary: Today, "all over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing". Members of our spiritual family are spreading the Gospel and planting spiritual seeds all over the world.
"All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and understood God's grace in all its truth" (Colossians 1:6).
A small solar-powered globe sits on my desk, a gift Brooksyne gave me for our 40th wedding anniversary. When the sun shines it turns, using the energy from the sunlight. It'ss quite a conversation piece and suits my propensity for enjoying gadgets.
She looked at the globe as it was turning yesterday and said "There's a really good song that would go with a circling globe." I couldn't think of one but I did think of a good Bible verse which would be John 3:16!
One year during a missions convention in New England I used a large, inflatable world globe to illustrate the work of Christ's Gospel being spread all over the world. We tossed the large globe throughout the congregation sort of like a beach ball, although it was much larger than that. There might be several of our readers from New England who would remember that particular mission's service over 20 years ago!
However, this is not just a statement from history but a present tense description of God's work around the world. Today, "all over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing". Members of our spiritual family are spreading the Gospel and planting spiritual seeds all over the world.
We are citizens of many different countries and there is a sense of national pride that most all of us experience. But all who accept Jesus Christ as their Savior have an infinitely greater citizenship. Paul, writing from a prison to believers in the Roman colony of Philippi, declares a citizenship we all share and rejoice in today, "But our citizenship is in heaven" (Philippians 3:20). Although he found his Roman citizenship a helpful defense in a time of trial, undoubtedly he considered his heavenly citizenship of incomparably greater value. And so should we!
How Paul rejoiced as he wrote the daily text. Indeed "all over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing". Paul didn't just focus on those he had direct fellowship with as is evidenced throughout his many writings. He had a spiritual interest in all of God's creation, local or distant, that the gospel would bear fruit and grow in their lives. We, too, need to broaden our circle and embrace those of other nationalities, skin color, and culture. We should pray earnestly for those whom we may never meet on this side but will spend all eternity with as we worship the One and only true God.
Daily prayer: Father, we join with the apostle Paul as we repeat his prayer for our brothers and sisters….Since the day we heard about you, our brothers and sisters in the faith, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.


Head: The gaps between the skull bones of a child is known as soft spots or fontanels. This area will be thoroughly checked during the head-to-toe examination. The shape of the head will also be checked.
Ears: The baby's response to various sounds will be observed by the doctor during the examination, in order to ensure proper functioning of the ears. The doctor will also use an otoscope to check for infection or fluid in the ears of the baby.
Eyes: The doctor will check whether the tear ducts are blocked. She/he may also check whether there is any issue of unnecessary eye discharge. To look inside of the eyes, the doctor will use an ophthalmoscope. In older babies, the doctor will use flashlight or bright objects to catch the baby's attention and observe the eye movements.
Mouth: Signs of oral thrush can be found by observing the inside of the mouth. Oral thresh is a yeast infection, commonly seen among babies. It can be easily treated with proper care and medications. In older babies, the doctor will check for teething signs such as drooling or chewing.
Skin: Birthmarks and rashes are some of the common conditions that are found during the checkup.
Heart and Lungs: The doctor finds uncommon heartbeat, rhythms and breathing problems with the help of stethescope. Heart murmurs are very common among babies, which can be easily treated with the help of specialists.
Abdomen: The doctor detects conditions such as enlarged organs, tenderness, and umbilical hernia etc. simply by pressing the baby's abdomen.
Hip and legs: Problems with the hip joints like dislocation are checked by the doctor. For this, the doctor will move the baby's legs.
Genitalia: The baby's genitalia is checked for lumps, tenderness and other signs of infections. Vaginal discharge, descended testes etc., are some of the other issues that are checked during the well-baby checkup.
After that, well-baby checkup is done each year till the age of 21. If there are any other issues found during the checkups, frequent visits and checkup may be required in addition to this.

Seeking to Serve
At Worship – 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks
As I look back into my family, the influence of worship and my ancestors' Christian faith is unmistakable. Sometimes (well, actually, pretty frequently), I might take issue with some of their methods of sharing their faith or some of the things that they believed. But, in no way can I doubt their devotion to the central mystery of faith – Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.
I find many, many ancestors who were pastors, or were active lay people and Christian educators. Some lines were staunchly Baptist and others just as staunchly Methodist. Kathleen's family even has Puritans and Pilgrims.
This is a short story about the Reverend John Walker Deshazo. J.W. Deshazo was born 11 Nov 1837 (or 1835) in Alabama to Larkin Deshazo and Lecy Lewis Deshazo. His parents had moved to Alabama by 1832, when they married, he from South Carolina and she from Tennessee. By 1850, the family had moved on to Choctaw County, Mississippi.
Rev. John W. Deshazo, 1837-1918
There has been some debate about John's middle name. He signed things J.W. or John W. Deshazo. Some folks have claimed that the W was for Wesley since he (and the family) were Methodists. This was a pretty common thing. Others say Walker, since so many of his descendants have a middle name of Walker. The documents tend toward Walker when they say anything at all.
In 1855, John married Mary Phelps, the first of his three wives and my third-great-grandmother. He and Mary had at least seven children, including Mary Susan Druscilla Deshazo, my great-great-grandmother.
Mary Phelps Deshazo died by 1872, when John W. married Mary V. Redden, his second wife. They had no children that I know of. Mary died in 1889.
In 1890, John married Fannie Cole, his third wife. He and Fannie had another four children.
Side note: Here's a point of research I need to pursue. In the 1910 Census, Fannie is listed as his second wife, not his third. Moreover, there is a J.W. Deshazo married to a Mary in Tennessee in the 1880 census that looks suspiciously like I may have a spurious marriage here. It makes sense for there to be a longer period between Mary and Fanny since John was an itinerant preacher during those years. Most circuit riders were not married, due to their being on the road pretty much continuously. I think I will dig into this and see what's the truth.
John entered the ministry during the Civil War. He had enlisted in Company G of the 33rd Mississippi Infantry in March 1862. Toward the end of the war, having heard the call to ministry, he was detailed as the chaplain at the Watts Hospital in Montgomery, Alabama. Not a lot can be found about this hospital. It appears to have been a tent, field hospital.
I've always been fascinated that he appears to have heard the call to ministry during the War. According to his service records, he was, himself, in and out of the hospital throughout the war, the last time, with blood poisoning in August 1864.
After the war, he entered the itinerant ministry of the Methodist Protestant church. The Methodist Protestant church had split in 1830 from the Methodist Episcopal church, primarily over the role of the laity in the governance of the church, the election of bishops, and of the presiding Elders (District Superintendents as the rest of Methodism called them).
Letter from John W. Deshazo to his children in 1880
John's preaching took him across Mississippi, Tennessee, and Arkansas. He spent five years as the Presiding Elder over the state of Mississippi. Ultimately, late in life, he "located" and left the itinerant ministry. Basically, that means that he retired. He set up a small farm, but it appears that this was hard. I get the impression that his health was poor and that made both the itinerancy and locating and farming really hard on him.
Letter from J.W. Deshazo lobbying for position as Chaplain of the Legislature
By 1900, they are living in Crawford County, Arkansas and times appear to be difficult. I am not certain exactly when this letter was written. Apparently, in an effort to continue his ministry and to ensure a position for himself, J.W. Deshazo lobbied members of the Arkansas legislature to appoint him as the Chaplain to the Lower House of the Legislature. He got many of the notable men of Crawford County to vouch for him in hopes of securing this position. There's no evidence that this succeeded. It seems that he and Fannie ended up moving back to Tennessee to be with their children. There, he and she both died and were buried.
What do I learn from J.W. Deshazo? I think the big thing is that he found his call and his moments of worship in the midst of terrible things. Both on the battlefield and in the field hospitals, he would have seen things that caused many men to lose their faith. Instead, he found his call to reach out to his fellow soldiers and to take care of those who were sick and wounded. I think that there, he found his true worship.

In the Wrong Place at the Wrong Time
Out of Place – 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks
It's funny how this thing about discovering and sharing our family stories goes. I so much appreciate the prompting that Amy Johnson Crow gives us each week with a topic to write about. Sometimes, it grabs me right away and I immediately know who or what to write about. Other times, life gets in the way and there's not an immediate connection, or there's not a time to write, so I linger.
This week was more the latter than the former. Too much business travel and no real idea about who was "Out of Place" made me procrastinate. Until this morning. I realized that there are lots of ways to be out of place. And one of those was to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. That's just exactly what happened to Ira Thomas Higgs.
Ira Thomas Higgs was the brother of my great-grandfather, John William "Will" Higgs. These last several weeks, I have talked about his parents, Thomas M. Higgs and Mary J. Sartain and what brick walls they have been, and how DNA has helped make a little progress in this family. But even in this family, Ira has been a bit of a mystery.
Ira most likely was born in Alabama, Tuscumbia by most reports, in 1865, shortly before the family headed to southwest Arkansas. By 1870, he and his family are living in Washington, Hempstead County, Arkansas. Thomas is working as a shoemaker there. By 1880, Thomas (Ira's father) has died and left Will and Ira to make their way. At 15, in the 1880 census, Ira is working as a printer with his older brother who has gotten into the printing and newspaper business.
Ira must have been a real up-and-comer in his early twenties. When he and Hattie Nash married in Texarkana, Arkansas in February 1888 (the newspaper misprinted this. It was actually reported in the Feb 9, 1888 edition), it made the front page of the Daily Arkansas Gazette in Little Rock, Arkansas
Daily Arkansas Gazette, Little Rock, Arkansas, 9 Feb 1888
Sticking to the western part of the state, Ira and Hattie moved at least a couple of times – Mineral Springs, Texarkana, Hot Springs, and Alma. Sometimes this put him in the wrong place at the wrong time. Like in September 1891 when Ira got mugged while visiting nearby Fort Smith. Interestingly, that was first reported in the Weekly Argus published by Ira's brother, Will.
Fort Smith Daily Herald and Elevator, Fort Smith, Arkansas, 25 Sep 1913
By 1902, Ira and Hattie had settled in Van Buren, Crawford County, Arkansas. In addition to his business dealings, Ira became the county coroner in 1902.
The Arkansas Democrat, Little Rock, Arkansas, 19 Nov 1902
It appears that sometimes his temper got away from him, like in this account of a fist-fight in 1903. Sounds like this had an affect on his business, whether from lost business, lost reputation, or lost money from fines. Don't know the cause of the fight, but someone must have been in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Fort Smith Times, Fort Smith, Arkansas, 22 Apr 1903
Ultimately, Ira's life ended in a case of being out of place, in the wrong place at the wrong time. On the 18th of March, 1914, Ira had come over to Fort Smith from Van Buren. The two cities are only separated by the Arkansas River, so there's a lot of business back and forth between the two.
Apparently, he headed out to catch a street car home in the evening. He saw that the car that was coming wasn't the one he wanted and headed back. But for some reason, he turned around quickly and headed back across the street and was hit by the street car. His leg was severed and his head was seriously injured. He died some hours later in a local hospital.
Perhaps due to the severity of his head injury or perhaps due to his being out of his regular element, Ira was not immediately identified as the coroner in the next county, just across the river, until after his death.
Ira's death was covered across the state, not just in the large newspapers, but also in small papers in areas where he had connection – Washington, the town of his childhood, and Nashville, where he had lived, in particular.
I've always wondered what really happened here. How did he step in front of the street car he just chose not to board? Was someone calling to him? Was someone warning him not to step in front of something else? Was he, maybe, somewhere he should not have been and wasn't fully in control of his faculties? (That's a nice way to ask whether he had been drinking?) Who knows. But, lying in the street and then in the hospital as a John Doe is certainly out of place.

Washington Telegraph, Washington, Hempstead County, Arkansas, p.1, 36 Mar 1914
Interestingly, the newspaper in Nashville, Arkansas reinforced the DNA connection we found last week. It says that Bob Dennison is a cousin of Ira Higgs. Bob Dennison is a descendant of Susannah Sartain, sister of Ira's mother.
Nashville News, Nashville, Howard County, Arkansas, p. 1, 23 Mar 1914
After his death, Ira found his way back across the river and home. His burial was reported in the Fort Smith Daily Herald and Elevator. It seems like there were a number of noted citizens present for his service.
Fort Smith Daily Herald and Elevator, Fort Smith, Arkansas, 26 Mar 1914
So, maybe even though he was out of place on that fateful day in March 1914, and even though a funeral for a forty-eight year old father and husband in the prime of his life is out of place, perhaps Ira had been living actually right where he was supposed to be .

DNA – 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks
Let me start off by saying that I am a technology guy. I am not always a first adopter for every technology. Instead, I embrace technology where it looks like it will help and wait to adopt it in areas where it's not yet ready.
Ohio Scientific Challenger 1P Series II
I have been a computer guy since the late 1970s. I learned to program on my friend's Commodore PET and on the school district's NCR minicomputer. I bought my first computer in 1979 – an Ohio Scientific Challenger 1P Series II system with the fastest Motorola 6502 processor on the market. It's still in our attic (but it has a special connector for the video output, so I can't run it anymore).
I am an IT guy. I do IT for a living. E-mail and texting have been my regular ways of communicating since about 1982.
From the very start of my genealogical journey, starting in the late 1980s, I used a genealogy database to keep track of my tree. First PAF. Then The Master Genealogist. Back to PAF for Windows once TMG went belly-up. And now, I have been a firm devotee of RootsMagic for years. I use scanners, clouds, on-line tools like Evernote and Dropbox.
But, I also rely on good, old microfilm, and dusty books in archives, and vertical files, and file cabinets full of paper, and lots of old family photos. So, technology is great, in its place. It augments rather than replaces good methodology and proven tools and techniques.
Last week, when I told you the story of one of my brick walls, I said that DNA was a key part of what helped me to accept family stories and take a new direction on my searching for the family of Mary J. Sartain.
I tested with FamilyTreeDNA when it was too expensive. I added and upgraded tests as they got cheaper. That was in the days of Y-DNA as the primary test.
I've done autosomal tests with FamilyTreeDNA, Ancestry, and 23-and-Me. And I've uploaded that data to GedMatch for even wider coverage. I've encouraged my parents, my step-dad, my in-laws, and others to test.
But, if I am absolutely honest about things, DNA has not yet been the huge boon for me that it has been for other people.
I attribute this to lots of things. First, I have not yet completely immersed myself into squeezing all of the information out of my DNA testing. I have only dipped my toes into the myriad of tools and techniques offered by DNA. There's no doubt that this can be a daunting area. I think I am taking an approach of having a cursory understanding so that when I hit a situation where I feel like it will apply, I can then find out what I need and begin to use the tools. This is pretty much how I have approached most of the new tools I've encountered.
Second, after thirty years of traditional research, I don't have that may gaps within seven-ish generations, pretty much the limits of direct application of a lot of the DNA tests. After that, there is more work in terms of triangulation between people, using DNA and other research together, etc. But, since I've been just grabbing the apples hanging low on the family tree (with respect to DNA), I've not found a good opportunity yet.
All of that being said, I have high hopes for DNA not just in genealogy in general, but in my and my family's research in specific.
It's funny, but when I look at my step-dad's matches, so far of the hundreds of matches he had, only about 3 are on his father's side of the tree. And those are on the part of the tree that we understand. But, one day, that descendant of the Reglin dynamiter will test and the mystery will crack open.
And for my mother-in-law and father-in-law, I am confident that all of the matches to their Irish ancestors will be invaluable in finding their real lines in the tangled web of Irish trees.
So, lacking any real break-throughs with DNA, this has turned into a bit of my philosophy of using DNA. Short version: I'm for it, but haven't jumped in with both feet yet, lacking a target that really requires it to move forward. But, I will. And I will find lots of new cousins and new ancestors.
Watch for sales, especially from Ancestry. Get your results. Even if all you look at is the ethnicity. Post a short tree. Explore your matches and look at ThruLines. (Short side-note: When I look at my mother-in-law's results, they are the only ones I have seen that are so definitive. 84% Ireland / Scotland and 16% France. No fractions, no tiny pieces of other places. Just those two. And in the Irish section, it actually does pretty well in targeting the counties that her ancestors came from.)
Don't forget, DNA stands for Discovery New Ancestors. Take advantage of what it can provide. But don't assume it's a magic potion made of spit. You still have to put in the effort and solid research to get what it can give.

Bricks, Bricks, All the Way Down
Brick Wall – 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks
Sometimes, it feels like the brick walls just keep going and going and going and we'll never get over, around, or through them. After thirty years of researching my family, it feels like all I have left are brick walls.
My Mom won't even help me research her family. She says that I've found all the easy stuff, leaving just the really hard things to find. She's right, of course, but my step-dad's family is no picnic, either. All of her brick walls are written in old German script and are stored overseas. At least all of my records that I need that don't actually exist were lost on this side of the ocean!
When we run into something that we can't seem to figure out, we call it a brick wall. We search all the regular sorts of records. We try everything we can on-line. We try to reach out for records from other sources, like the courthouses. We visit archives and libraries and cemeteries and dusty basements. We lament burned courthouses and preachers who never returned marriage licenses and census takers who seem to have missed whole towns.
But, I think the bruises on our foreheads from beating our heads on the wall may be our own fault. How often, when in the middle of trying to solve a problem and get around a brick wall do we follow a rabbit down a hole and get lost in a whole different line of research?
Or, do we fail to make a plan and wander around aimlessly as we try to follow the bricks and get to the corners or the end of the wall?
But eventually, our tree may grow over the wall. Or the roots of our tree may break through the wall. And we can get to the other side. And we can find out more about our families and move on to the next mystery.

So, if you've made it this far, you might have guessed that I don't have a strong story for this week. I am in the middle of a brick wall exercise right now. I thought I was making progress, but then yesterday, it fell apart again.
Mary J. Sartain married Thomas M. Higgs on Christmas Day, 1857. I think you've met these two before. They are my great-great-grandparents. Mary was, supposedly, born in Decatur, Morgan County, Alabama, in 1834. In all of my research, I have yet to find any families that look like they could be hers in that area. I've been at a loss.
Another researcher (Page), years ago, told me that she felt sure that her ancestor, Susannah Sartain, was the sister to my Mary. I failed to follow up very well on this at that point. But, with Ancestry's new ThruLines tool, what does it suggest, but that Susannah Sartain was the sister to my Mary. So, I contacted my research partner again and we began to talk.
Yes, in fact, she heard stories from her family for years about my great-aunt Lida and about her brother Jere Will. She understood that Mary and Thomas even helped raise Susannah's daughter for a period. So, that's a pretty good family connection. Maybe we need to pursue this again.
I took to the census. Long ago, I (and my research partner and others) had identified a candidate family for Mary and Susannah. Alfred Sartain and Susannah Sarah Ramage were living in Northport, Tuscaloosa County, Alabama in 1850 and had daughters named Mary J. and Susannah who were exactly the right ages. Looks pretty positive, so far.
Just to add to mix, there was another Mary J. Sartain, also born in 1835, in Tuscaloosa County. What are the odds? I can't find Sartains anywhere, but all of a sudden, I have three Mary J. Sartains born within 18 months of each other! A little quick research here found a marriage record for this Mary to a Benjamin Sexton which clearly stated that she was the daughter of Jacob Sartain Jr.
This starts to help piece the steps of the ladder over the wall. Jacob Sartain Jr and Alfred Sartain appear to be sons of Jacob Sartain, Sr, who came to Tuscaloosa from Spartanburg, South Carolina before Alabama statehood.
Now, what about the rest of Alfred's family? You know the FAN club ought to be investigated. I really want to find something that can connect my Mary to Page's Susannah to Alfred, and ultimately Jacob Sr.
It seems like this Sartain family stuck together. In 1870, Alfred's married children were all within a house or two of his on the Census. It really seems like this family stuck to Northport, Tuscaloosa County. (I was unable to ever find any of these families or any of their 1850 or 1870 neighbors in the 1860 census. It seems like this whole community may be lost in the census.) Mary doesn't appear in the 1870 census in Alfred's house, but that's what we expect – she should have been married to Thomas and moved to Arkansas by then. Alfred's son, Jesse, married Sarah Ann Sexton and then died in the Civil War. Alfred's daughter Sarah Ann married Horace H. Sexton. She died in 1876, at which point Horace married her sister Susannah.
Hmmm. That doesn't sound right. Page's ancestor, Susannah Sartain, married James C. Hicks in Florence, Lauderdale County, Alabama on 10 Oct 1850. What's this being single in 1870 in her parents' house but also being married in 1850?
I pretty much think that as busting this line of attack. It makes it clear that Alfred and Susannah Ramage Sartain are not the parents of either Mary J. Sartain who married Thomas M. Higgs or Susannah Sartain who married James C. Hicks. Nor is Jacob Sartain Jr. the father of my Mary J. Sartain.
So, being methodical and following the research through to a clear conclusion at least allowed me to avoid spending any more time on this line. It also made it clear that this candidate, which initially looked very strong, was not at all strong.
But, what to do next? I think a geographic search may be the right approach. Lauderdale, Morgan, and Limestone counties, where the events we know about happened, are all in northern Alabama, near or bordering Tennessee. I think the next step is to look for some new openings in the wall in northern Alabama. It may well be that we reconnect to Jacob Sartain Sr. back in South Carolina. But who knows!

Just a couple of hours ago, it was revealed that Chinese smartphone giant Huawei was bringing suit against Korean rival Samsung over smartphone-related patents. Details were sparse, but the long and short of the breaking story was that Huawei, who invests in and builds out cellular network technology on top of all of their other businesses, was suing Samsung over some of their patents being infringed in Samsung's smartphones' operating system and interface, and with Samsung infringing on some of their 4G LTE networking patents. Now, thanks to Bill Plummer, Huawei's Vice President of Strategic and External Affairs, speaking with Recode, a little bit more information has come to light and made Huawei's reasoning behind bringing suit against the top dog of the Android world a bit more apparent.
While the exact patents being sued over still went unrevealed, it was confirmed that they are indeed related to both smartphone interfaces and operations, and 4G infrastructure. Even without the nature of Samsung's infringing conduct being revealed, the reason for the lawsuit is fairly common and makes a lot of sense; Huawei was in talks to license their patented technology to Samsung, Samsung refused to play ball, and the talks eventually fell through. With the option to play nice off the table, the only way for Huawei to make sure that its patents were protected and that they were compensated for the fruits of their multi-billion dollar R&D division's labor was to bring suit against the infringing party.
Plummer, speaking to Recode on the matter, said that Huawei, as the owner of a large number of patents, had an obligation to ensure that those patents were fairly used and compensated for. This, Plummer said, was "the lifeblood of this industry; that's what drives openness and innovation." Huawei's portfolio of about 50,000 worldwide patents is the result of a staff of 80,000 working tirelessly, costing Huawei somewhere in the area of $9.2 billion per year, making it quite clear why they would jump to defend those patents in a situation like this where they are alleged to have been unduly infringed upon. Huawei did say they will be filing suit in China and the United States but did not lay down any dates or tentative damage amounts or other measures, such as injunctions, as possibilities at this time.

Dan Rattiner's Stories
Screwed Up Presidents: Adams, Jackson, Grant, Tyler, Hoover, Nixon, Etc.
Dan Rattiner March 23, 2018
Cartoon by Mickey Paraskevas
When Donald Trump won the presidency, I feared America would not survive a man suffering such a severe personality disorder. But then I wondered if there were other presidents with serious personality disorders. If so, well, we survived those presidents. I thought I'd read up on this.
What have I found? I've found 11 presidents I believe to have been disturbed. None led to dictatorships.
John Adams was our second president. The first was George Washington, the third was Thomas Jefferson. Adams was an intellectual who suffered from severe paranoia. He largely spent his days in the White House worrying that his cabinet was talking about him behind his back in order to overthrow him. As a result, he accomplished little, other than enlarging upon presidential trappings to show people he really was the president. Fortunately, the times did not require that he do much.
Thomas Jefferson was a man of action, a proud American, a poised scholar and a hard worker. Nevertheless, he was a big liar. He repeatedly wrote fabricated essays about how Alexander Hamilton was secretly meeting with British royalty to create an American royalty that would shortly return the States to British control. He also falsely accused Hamilton and others of stealing from the treasury.
Andrew Jackson was an uneducated woodsman from Tennessee, an Indian fighter and the winner of the Battle of New Orleans. With a fiery temper, he paid no attention to aides and did what he wanted. Cross him at their peril. He wanted to return America to "the people." After his inauguration, he invited all the people attending to come to the White House and have a big party. Thirty thousand came, overwhelmed security and stripped the building, stealing silverware, curtains, food, wine, furniture and paintings. It was chaos.
He also made two huge errors during his presidency. He completely dismantled the federal bank that was backing our national currency. Fifty years later, this drove the country to the brink of bankruptcy. Another president, Grover Cleveland, was forced to borrow money from businessman J.P. Morgan at high interest to save the country.
Personally, Jackson ran the White House with an iron hand. He made every decision and everyone curried his favor, even his family. When a friend of his, a man named Eaton, became the Secretary of War because he had been Jackson's buddy in the Indian Wars, Eaton asked Jackson to give his blessing to marry a woman who was essentially a nymphomaniac. Jackson said if you love her, I will stand by no matter what. This insatiable woman so enraged the wives of the other cabinet members that they shunned her. The wives caused the husbands to shun her, too. When Jackson learned of it, he told all his cabinet members to accept this awful woman or he would fire them. Only one agreed. He fired the rest. All that was left was Jackson and Eaton and one other cabinet member.
John Tyler, president from 1840 to 1844, was a clueless Virginia planter who had no idea how to deal with politicians. When William Henry Harrison died and Tyler became president, he turned his back on his party, ignored their principles and got the party so mad they expelled him. A man without a party couldn't even get nominated for a second term.
Abe Lincoln suffered severe highs and lows. Today we might call it bipolar disorder. When he argued with his fiancée, Mary, his best friend, Joshua Speed, went to Lincoln's home and later reported, "Lincoln went crazy—had to remove razors from his room—take away all knives and other such dangerous things—&c—it was terrible." That was in his youth. By the time he became president, he'd found some inner strength to keep those swings at bay.
Andrew Johnson became president when Lincoln was shot. He professed to want to continue Reconstruction at war's end, but after his assumption of the presidency he curried the favor of the defeated Southern white plantation owners. Many believe this was because, when he was a young man, from a poor family, the planters had shunned him. He allowed the KKK to run wild with shootings and lynchings until bigotry returned to the South. He was impeached but, by one vote, not asked to resign.
As the nation's top general, Ulysses S. Grant defeated and eventually starved out the armies of Robert E. Lee in the Civil War. He was a good man, a national hero and a supporter of Lincoln's Reconstruction. He was also incorruptible. Unfortunately, he could be completely conned by anyone with a financial scheme, even defend the Schemers after they were convicted and sent off to jail. As a result, his presidency was laced with corruption in which he had no part. Because he was an innocent and a hero, the public elected him to a second term, where he suffered more of the same.
This had been a lifelong problem. In his 20s, he was conned out of his money so often it became impossible for him to support his wife and children. He sometimes appeared unwashed, in torn clothes, staggering drunk and begging in the town he grew up in, Georgetown, Ohio.
By the way, as president, Grant was so aware that one drink would send him on a bender, his aides were told to step in and stop him if he looked like he might imbibe. He knew he had to stay sober for these jobs. Scholars say there are just two known occasions when he fell off the wagon during his responsible years.
Woodrow Wilson was a weepy, fragile academic who had difficultly controlling his emotions. He was also a romantic, an idealist and a bigot. His singular good work, his idealistic creation of the League of Nations, failed to get congressional approval.
Herbert Hoover, a plodding, wealthy businessman and technocrat, was too myopic to see that a blistering tariff war he created caused the bottom to fall out of the economy, thus launching the Great Depression. He also did not care to provide relief for the homeless and starving, nor did he have the brains to bring the country back out of the Depression. He lost to FDR by a landslide when he ran for a second term.
Lyndon Johnson was a backwoods Texan, possibly the least educated man to become president in the 20th century, yet he was a successful backslapping dealmaker opposing integration on behalf of the South. But when he became vice president to the intellectual John F. Kennedy, he felt humbled by the good works proposed by that man, and when Johnson assumed the presidency he turned his back on the South and drove through Congress all of Kennedy's stalled Civil Rights proposals. He declared "What is a president for?" when Southerners asked him to explain this. As for new programs, he soon saw he had limited aptitude to decide on them, disastrously escalating the Vietnam War and declaring an unwinnable war on poverty, and so announced he would not run for a second term.
Richard Nixon was a humorless, win-at-all-costs politician who believed he stood above the law. He had burglars bug the offices of the Democratic National Committee during his re-election campaign to parry his opponents' every move. They were caught doing it, he denied knowing about it, declaring "I am not a crook," and then, when impeached, resigned in disgrace before the proceedings could begin.
As for Donald Trump, I am happy to report that, so far, anyway, he has not muzzled the press, fired the Supreme Court or dissolved Congress. He's railed against them. But he's not created a dictatorship. Yet.
In my opinion, he has the personality of a dictator, but perhaps he is, at 71, too old to begin being one. Nearly every other dictator I know of was in their 30s or 40s when they dismantled democracies. In their 70s, not so much.

Americans continue to oppose U.S.-Mexico border wall: CBS News poll
March 12, 2018 / 6:30 PM / CBS News
By Jennifer De Pinto, Fred Backus, Kabir Khanna and Anthony Salvanto
As President Trump plans to visit California Tuesday to see prototypes for a U.S. - Mexico border wall, the idea of building a border wall continues to be unpopular with most Americans, and sharp partisan splits remain. Most Republicans support it, while most Democrats and independents oppose it. These percentages have held steady over time.
We find partisan divides over whether "sanctuary cities" can refuse to assist federal efforts in detaining or deporting illegal immigrants; President Donald Trump visits California amid legal battles between the Justice Department and the state. Half of Americans – and most Democrats - think cities should be allowed to deal with illegal immigrants as they see fit, while another half of Americans – and most Republicans - think such cities should be forced to comply with federal anti-immigration efforts.
On the broader principle of whether states or the Federal government should have power on immigration laws, partisans not only divide, but have switched places in recent years. Republicans today say the Federal government should have authority, not the states – a notion they rejected when President Barack Obama was in the White House and Arizona was drawing attention for passing its own measures; today most Democrats say the states should have power, having reversed their thinking from 2010.

This poll was conducted by telephone March 8-11, 2018 among a random sample of 1,223 adults nationwide. Data collection was conducted on behalf of CBS News by SSRS of Glen Mills, PA. Phone numbers were dialed from samples of both standard land-line and cell phones.
The poll employed a random digit dial methodology. For the landline sample, a respondent was randomly selected from all adults in the household. For the cell sample, interviews were conducted with the person who answered the phone.
Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish using live interviewers. The data have been weighted to reflect U.S. Census figures on demographic variables.
The error due to sampling for results based on the entire sample could be plus or minus three percentage points. The error for subgroups may be higher and is available by request. The margin of error includes the effects of standard weighting procedures which enlarge sampling error slightly.

If you are looking for perfectly straight teeth without the hassle of dealing with wires and brackets in your mouth, you have come to the right place. In fact, you need not look further than Dr. Phillip Greer of Sweet Water Dentistry in Fairhope, AL.
We offer clear braces that help straighten your teeth without any gum or mouth irritation. The major advantage of clear braces is that no one will even know that you are wearing them. It is quite easy to take them out and pop them right back in place without any issue. This is why the majority of people love clear braces.
Clear braces don't have metal brackets and wires to attach or tighten. Hence, the alignment trays are quite smooth and comfortable to wear. Food will not get stuck in your teeth like with other braces, and you will not feel any discomfort when eating or brushing your teeth. The custom made alignment trays are easily removed so that you can brush and eat like normal.
If you are a good prospect for clear braces, we will set up an initial appointment to get the photos, x-rays, and impressions in order to capture the shape of your teeth. This will help us design the perfect custom alignment trays for you.

Emphasizing "the role schools can play in developing the attitudes and values necessary for a democratic society," NAME strives to combat America's allegedly ubiquitous flaws by teaching students to: "critique society in the interest of social justice"; "critically analyze oppression and power relations in their communities" and elsewhere; "challeng[e] all forms of discrimination"; "work actively toward structural equality in organizations and institutions"; and advocate for "the redistribution of power and income among diverse groups." The Association promotes these values via its website, position papers, policy statements, press releases, and political advocacy activities.
Rejecting the notion "that the U.S. is a race-neutral society," NAME contends that a multitude of "barriers to employment and promotion still exist for people of color, women, and other … groups." Thus the Association strongly supports affirmative actionin the realms of business and academia. Preferential policies, NAME explains, help "provid[e] people of color, women and other protected groups educational and workplace opportunities" they would not otherwise have.
NAME has chapters in every region of the United States, and its 1,500+ members consist of professional educators, administrators, and school-affiliated specialists such as psychologists, social workers, counselors, curriculum developers, librarians, and researchers.
In December 2012, Rick Ayers, a teacher-education professor at the University of San Francisco, was elected as NAME's co-president. He is the brother of Bill Ayers, the former Weather Underground terrorist-turned education professor. Bill Ayers himself was a keynote speaker at NAME's November 2011 international conference in Chicago, along with critical race theorist Patricia Williams and several others.

Andrzej Grzegorz Przybielski (n. 9 august 1944, Bydgoszcz, Polonia; d. 9 februarie 2011) a fost un trompetist polonez, reprezentant al stilului Avant-garde jazz,  Free Jazz.

Cariera muzicală
Andrzej Przybielski a absolvit  Școala Tehnică de Bydgoszcz, a debutat în jazz-ul tradițional și a cantat cu Bogdan Ciesielski și Jacek Bednarek într-un grup numit "Traditional Jazz Group". Până la mijlocul anilor '60, a cantat la corn și la trompetă în stiluri de blues și Dixieland, avand ca modele pe Dizzy Gillespie și Miles Davis.

În 1968, împreună cu "Gdansk Trio", a câștigat premiul "Jazz nad Odrą" (Jazz pe malul Odrei), iar în 1969, a participat alături de Formacja Muzyki Wspolczesnej – Formația de muzică contemporană, fondată de Andrzej Kurylewicz, la festivalul Jazz Jamboree.

Mai târziu a compus pentru mai multe teatre, precum Teatrul Național din Varșovia (Teatr Narodowy w Warszawie), pentru Teatr Witkacy din Zakopane și a colaborat cu renumiți muzicieni de jazz din Polonia, precum: Helmut Nadolski, Jacek Bednarek, Andrzej Kurylewicz, Czesław Niemen, Tomasz Stańko, Stanisław Sojka, Adam Hanuszkiewicz, Wanda Warska, frații Oleś - Marcin și Bartłomiej, Ryszard Tymon Tymański, Wojciech Konikewicz și Józef Skrzek. De asemenea a fost cofondator și co-director al formațiilor muzicale Sesja, Big Band Free Cooperation și Acoustic Action.

La începutul anului 1990 în orașul său natal, Bydgoszcz, a format primul său grup, intitulat "Asocjacja Andrzeja Przybielskiego" (Asociația Andrzej Przybielski) compus de: Karol Szymanowski (vibrafon), Andrzej Kujawa (chitară bas), Józef Eljasz (instrument de percuție). Un an mai târziu a format o trupă împreună cu Grzegorz Nadolny (chitară bas) și Grzegorz Daroń (instrument de percuție). Însă domeniul în care s-a simțit cel mai creativ a fost Asociația Andrzej Przybielski cu care a atins popularitate la nivel național și european cântând cu entuziasmul său captivant până la sfârșitul vieții sale.

A contribuit și la dezvoltarea stilului yass în clubul Mózg (Creierul) din Bydgoszcz, cel mai important auditoriu al stilului yass polonez unde a cântat însoțit de trupe, precum Sing Sing Penelope și NRD.

Andrzej Przybielski s-a stins din viață în data de 9 februarie 2011, înmormântarea lui a avut loc pe 15 februarie la cimitirul comunal din Bydgoszcz.

În data de 9 februarie 2012, la un an de la moartea sa, Zdzisław Pająk a publicat biografia intitulată  "Maluj muzykę, bracie. Andrzej Przybielski 1944-2011" (Pictează muzica, frate. Andrzej Przybielski 1944-2011).

Here are the slides from my presentation for the 2011 eCoast Mobile Summit on mobile for retail. Get the slides here download[zip].
I just got back from SXSW Interactive 2011. What an amazing experience. I learned so many new things, met tons of awesome people and had a great time. Here's my experience there, as told through my iPhone camera and iPhone screenshots, enjoy!
News broke of this deal with American Express as I was on the way to the airport in the C&J bus. Pretty cool!
This is the rental they handed me on the ground in San Antonio (had to book a last minute earlier flight due to scheduling of my Foursquare Day kickoff event on Friday). It wasn't bad to have this to cruise around Austin with for a night.
Here you could play foursquare with foursquare (and win a tshirt) – a huge leap up from what they had last year and by far my favorite place to go and relax in between sessions. Free Pepsi MAX and hanging out with the foursquare team? YES PLEASE!
These are the cards that Infinite Imaging donated to Foursquare Day – we put them out on the foursquare swag table next to the foursquare court and I stopped by every day to make sure there was always plenty on hand.
This was the swag table at the Foursquare Day kickoff event I organized – we also gave out foursquare tshirts for playing foursquare just like foursquare did at their foursquare court (phew, that's alot of foursquares!).
If you made it up to the fourth square (the mayor square) you got a foursquare tshirt. Included in this picture: Antony Francis and Alan Danzis (I think) playing foursquare while Miss Destructo looks on.
I got to meet almost the entire foursquare team in Austin (and they rock!). Here foursquare's Nina Yiamsamatha and I bust out our laptops and do some superuser editing to fix some urgent issues with SXSW panel venues.
This year the keynotes were on the 4th floor, and to help keep the lines organized they gave out cards to ensure people who stood in line got in.
Sitting next to me at the keynote was John Bejarano from the StartupBus and his Isitgood4.me startup. He showed off his secret to surviving SXSW: Tiger Blood.
Spotted a mom and her little girl putting foursquare stickers on their stroller at the foursquare court at SXSW. So cool!
Enjoying some BBQ at Iron Works (THE BEST!) and letting my table-mates charge their iPhones on my Splash Intense battery pack. It's got more than enough juice to go around!
Because I checked in on foursquare and used my American Express I got a $5 rebate on my Iron Works purchase. Yeah, I can't think of anything cooler either! In background: SXSW veteran Ramon Vawda's twitter profile, whom I randomly met in line at Iron Works and got to have BBQ with.
This was the scene at the foursquare party at the Cedar Street Courtyard. It had lines going around the block *on both sides of the building*.
Wasn't surprised to see this pop-up on my phone. I didn't see him though.
They had a special at the foursquare party that unlocked if 500 or more people checked in. That wasn't a problem!
Is it live or is it Android?
Legos, everywhere. Not sure what's going on here, but they were thinking hard about what they were doing.
The CEO of Placecast gave us a download on the latest location-based tools for mobile marketing.
One of my favorite parts of SXSW is the bacon cones. Yes, you read that right- cones made out of bacon. This one has chicken cooked in bacon, breaded with captain crunch with some strips of bacon thrown in for good measure. Here's a picture of how Bacon Cone at SXSW10 looked. Seems consistently awesome!
Due to a mixup my Splash Intense was not charged for one night and it died. Fortunately I had my TRANS4M AC / DC USB Charger as a backup. You can throw any power you want on it and it'll charge USB devices. It takes AC, Cigarette Lighter DC, 9 volt and AA batteries.
This was the room to be at at SXSW if you were into mobile. Back to back to back panels on mobile web, apps, design, development, strategy, platforms, NFC, what's next- you name it.
Had the opportunity to guest host the Aboutfoursquare.com podcast at SXSW. Here's Eric and Chris during the recording, talking about, what else, foursquare. You can listen to the podcast we recorded here.
Not only did you get a nice foursquare badge for checking in at their ice cream truck (and did I mention, get ICE CREAM?) they also gave away these cool analog badges to boot!
The Awesome Bar. Would you order anything else?
A hole in the wall pizza place off 6th street in Austin. The inside is sharpified. Can't recommended the food but the sharpie-fied walls are a spectacle.
foursquare was randomly giving out "golden ticket" badges that would get people into a special concert they were throwing with Pepsi. Here golden ticket holders CMajor and Chris Thompson pose with the sign.
iPads were EVERYWHERE. It didn't hurt that Apple opened a special popup store for the event to sell the iPad 2. Forget your laptop at events like these, touch devices are the only way to make it happen at SXSW.
These are what the golden tickets looked like that foursquare was giving away to golden ticket badge holders.
This is the venue for the foursquare golden ticket badge holders concert. Unusual and cool!
It's a roving RV where you can sing karaoke (and earn a foursquare badge). It was parked outside of the golden ticket concert entrance. If I wasn't about to go into the concert I would have taken it for a ride!
This was on the inside floor of the power plant. The power plant is inactive and used as a music venue in Austin. Very cool!
Outside the convention center were two of the characters from Xtranormal: the animated video service AdAge said would redefine web creativity and economics. I met members of their team and posed for a picture with them.
Downtown Austin as viewed from the taxi on the way to the airport.
Flying east, watching the sunset over the wing aboard a JetBlue A320. Sarah Wallace had the seat next to mine and made the 4.5 hour flight feel like 5 minutes.
As soon as I turn my phone on after landing I got this text message alerting me that I'd won a giftcard that I entered to win at the tradeshow earlier in the day. Doh!
By far the most valuable tech device at SXSW, aside from my iPhone, was the Splash Intense battery pack. Here I am, already missing Austin and SXSW, making good use of the battery pack while waiting for the C&J to take me back to New Hampshire.
I hope you enjoyed my photo blog of SXSW 2011. Did you take pictures or blog about the event too? I'd love to see what you shared, so please post a link in the comments!


A Charmed reboot has been announced. There's both bad and good news.
Don't we all love a reboot? No, the answer is most definitely, without a doubt, no.
The fear of turning a much-loved classic into mush is becoming an increasingly familiar feeling with countless reboots on the horizon, but especially when it comes to a show as brilliant, precious, and magical (literally) as Charmed.
Charmed aired its pilot episode on The WB in 1998 and continued telling the story of three "good witch" sisters for 8 years until 2006, garnering a cult-like following in the meantime.
The show surrounded Piper (Holly Marie Combs), Prue (Shannen Doherty), and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano), also known as 'The Charmed Ones', who used their almighty 'Power of Three' to destroy evils forces that posed as a risk to the innocent lives around them. Doherty was replaced by Rose McGowan in season 4, who portrayed Paige, a half-sister to the original Halliwell family.
A reboot of the show had been in the talks for quite some time after the show initially concluded, with particular possibility for a prequel set in the 1970s.
However, The CW recently ordered an official pilot of the reboot, where the premise will centre around three sisters living in the present day, who bare similar powers to the Halliwell sisters we know so well.
LISTEN: Speaking of reboots, there are countless moments that let us down in the Little Women one. We discuss, on The Binge.
"This fierce, funny, feminist reboot of the original series centers on three sisters in a college town who discover they are witches. Between vanquishing supernatural demons, tearing down the patriarchy, and maintaining familial bonds, a witch's work is never done," reads the official description released by The CW.
The upcoming show will be helmed by Jane the Virgin show-runner and creator Jennie Snyder Urman, providing some form of reassurance – although slight – that the reboot may live up to at least a fraction of what the original served as for fans.
With the reboot being set in the present day, original cast members could potentially reprise their roles in guest appearances, but something tells me they might not be too eager.
Holly Marie Combs, who played Piper in the original series, has voiced her dissatisfaction of the reboot via a series of direct tweets.
And another thing. Reboots or remakes, as we used to call them, usually have storylines so similar to the original that they are legally required to use the same title and buy the rights to that title. If it's not similar than it's just another show. A new show with a new title.
What are your thoughts on rebooting an old, cult classic television series? Let us know in the comments below.
