The SX1238 by Semtech is a little known ISM band transceiver IC. It is the big brother to the SX1231, which is used in transceiver's such as the popular RFM69HW. Where the SX1238 really shines is that it has not one, but two power amplifiers on the transmit side, as well as two low noise amps on the receive. This enables the transceiver to have a longer range than the RFM69.
This particular transceiver would be practical in a situation where you wanted long range and high bit rate. Since there didn't seem to be any dev boards or libraries for this chip already in place, I decided to build my own. Each transceiver is capable of connecting to a network of up to 254 other devices. You can also send packets to either individual nodes, or broadcast them to every node in the network. Attach them to robots and let them communicate their battle plans. The sky is the limit.
3. Use 50 ohms everywhere.
The second rule is to use integrated components. The idea here is to use chips that have the RF magic baked in wherever possible. For my project I opted to use a Semtech SX1238 transceiver. I discovered this chip through the digikey parametric search. Some feature's I like about this particular transceiver is obviously it's got an RF transmitter/receiver built in, 50 ohms output, good documentation, a built in power amplifier on the transmit(up to 27dB) as well as a low noise amplifier on the receive end. This particular transmitter has a frequency range between 868MHz and 915MHz in the ISM band.
The third rule speaks about using 50 ohms everywhere, which refers to impedance matching. So ideally you'd have 50 ohm outputs and 50 ohm transmission lines etc. In the video Mr. Ossmann uses Oshpark's 4 layer stack up and an online pcb calculator to determine the trace width needed for 50 ohms impedance. I was planning on using Oshpark anyway, so I used the same numbers he used for his calculation. Here's the link to Oshpark's 4 layer board specs. By plugging in the pertinent numbers from the Oshpark website to the pcb calculator we find out that in order to get a 50 ohm microstrip we need a 12 mil trace.
Rule number four states that we should follow the manufacturer recommendations. Of course, this is usually a good idea. For this rule I looked at the datasheet for the SX1238 and copied over the recommended schematic and components for the transceiver.
The fifth and final rule is to route RF first. The idea is to optimize the top layer of the PCB for RF. Michael Ossmann specifies that in general for this rule, you should keep traces short and direct and keep other signals away from RF. For this rule I tried to keep the RF specific traces on the top layer and route the other traces on the bottom layer. This went pretty well, although the giant ground pad underneath the SX1238 made it difficult at times to route traces close to the component. One other problem I ran into was attaching the ground traces from the transceiver to the giant ground pad. At first I had one large pad specified in the footprint for the transceiver. But the problem with this was pcbnew wouldn't let me route the traces out to the pad. I ended up just breaking up the pad into smaller pads and squishing them all together as can be seen below. This allowed me to route the ground traces without a hitch.
Here is a short video demonstration of the transceiver.
I've been working more on writing firmware to test the transceiver modules. Although I couldn't locate any ready made libraries to drive this particular IC, there were a few none the less that helped to guide me in the right direction. Those libraries were the RF69 library by Lowpower Lab, as well as the Radiohead library. These libraries interfaced with a similar model transceiver, the SX1231, which was also designed by Semtech.
One of the features of the SX1238 that intrigued me was that it included not one, but two low noise amplifiers on its receive, as well as two power amplifiers on its transmit. These added amplifiers should not only make it easier to detect weak signals, but should also give the transceiver a theoretical longer range as compared to the SX1231. Here is a view of the block diagram for the SX1238 showing how the internals are laid out.
Interfacing with these pins was of course just a matter of connecting the appropriate pins on the transceiver module to the arduino and then toggling them during the transmit and receive sequence.
To test the transmitter I used a cheap RTL-SDR dongle and the free SDR Sharp software. I just wrote a simple sketch which transmits a packet once a second and looked for the signal to show up somewhere on the FFT plot. It was a thrill to see the signal pop up on the screen for the first time! It was alive!
After this euphoria, I thought setting up the receiver would be the easy part. Boy was I wrong! The firmware for the receiver was setup to simply listen for incoming packets from the transmitter, and then print those packets out to the serial monitor. The excitement was nearly unbearable the first time I uploaded the firmware to the receiver. Expecting to see a rush of packets fill the serial monitor screen, instead there was nothing. Just a blank screen. The roller coaster thrill ride came crashing down and hit with reality.
There was an onslaught of doubt in my mind after this initial test. Maybe there was something wrong with the pcb, or perhaps there was a faulty solder connection somewhere. It was obvious that something was being transmitted since the signals were being picked up by the SDR Sharp software. However, maybe the actual transmission was just garbage.
After taking a break for a bit and getting some air, I decided to dig through the datasheet again and analyze my code a bit more. This digging led me to discover a peculiar register named RegFifoThresh that had as one of its variable names TxStartCondition. TxStartCondition, as its name implies, determines the state at which the transmitter would begin transmitting packets from the FIFO. By default this register was set to only transmit after a specified FIFO threshold had been passed. Since I wanted the transmitter to transmit whenever there was a new packet in the FIFO, I changed this default value to allow the transmitter to transmit whenever the FIFO was not empty. After making this modification and uploading the firmware once again, I started to see a few packets being received and printed out on the monitor. However, the packets weren't consistent, and the data wasn't recognizable. But it was progress!
The boards passed the initial magic smoke test. I brought the boards up with a current controlled power supply and to my surprise no magic smoke escaped! After that I wired up the SPI bus to an 3.3v Arduino pro mini to see if I could communicate with the transceiver.
I got packages from oshpark, digikey, and oshstencil back recently so I decided to make some time to put a couple boards together. I have to admit that I was nervous just thinking about hand soldering these boards, given the close proximity of several small 0402 components and the large ground pad under the transceiver chip. For this reason I thought it would be a good time to try out a solder paste stencil.
The first step for me was to determine which pads on the PCB required a stencil. At first I was thinking about just including all the SMD components. But after giving it some more thought I opted to leave out the SMA connector and shield, since I wanted to be able to test the circuit out first before sealing it in its metal house. And the SMA connector would require some hand soldering to get a good connection.
Now that I knew which SMD pads I wanted to exclude from the stencil, I took those pads out of the stencil by unchecking the F. Paste layer (the front solder paste layer) from the Technical Layers area of the Footprint Editor. This disassociates the pad from the front solder paste layer. It looks like F. Paste is checked by default whenever you create a new SMD pad.
The next thing I learned was that there should be a little bit of clearance between the solder paste and the edge of the pad. This clearance is aptly named "Solder Paste Clearance" and is illustrated on the picture above. This property can be adjusted on a per pad level on the pad properties page, or on a global level. To set the clearance for the entire PCB you navigate to Dimensions -> Pads Mask Clearance from the Pcbnew screen.
On the Pads Mask Clearance screen, there are 2 options for adjusting the solder paste clearance. You can either choose to set the clearance a fixed amount from the edge of the pad, or you can set the clearance to be a ratio based on the size of the pad. I chose to give the clearance a ratio of -5%. After adjusting these properties, the only thing left to do was to generate the gerber files which will be sent to oshstencils. When you go to generate the gerbers, you only need to select the solder paste layer as well as the edge cuts layer, since those are the layers that oshstencils care about.
Once the jig and PCB are in place, you lay the stencil over the PCB until all the pads match up and are visible through the appropriate cutouts of the stencil. Then you tape the stencil down on one side.
From here, my pictures were a little too blurry to share, but I basically followed the same procedure for applying the paste presented in this Sparkfun video. The important thing I learned from all of this was to make sure to clean up the solder paste from the stencil and anything else you want to keep right away. Otherwise it really gets tough to clean up, and it manages to get everywhere!
very nice project! A lot like my S1G-RF project!
thanks man! Yeah I went for the shield since a lot of RF product have it and most people leave it out.
Great project! I like those five rules, too.
Do you have an impedance bump at your SMA connector? The pad for the center pin looks really big.
Thanks Ted! It does seem pretty wide. Just to make sure I double checked the end launch specs for the SMA connector and it looks like it's set to the appropriate width.
You are about to report the project "500mW (27dB) ISM Band Transceiver", please tell us the reason.

Why Can't We Use the Placebo Effect to Heal the Sick?
Studies have shown that the placebo effect can be used to alleviate pain and other symptoms. Yet, how to harness it in an ethical manner has been difficult to discern.
Due to the latest in imaging techniques, genetic research, and other breakthroughs, we know more about the brain than ever before. Still, much remains a mystery. Some believe the brain itself has the power to heal, but we do not know how to harness it. Take the case of Norman Cousins. In the 1970's the editor-in-chief of the Saturday Review came down with a serious and rare illness. It was progressive, terminal, and had no cure. Instead of giving up, Cousins, who knew about the impact of negative emotions on disease, attempted to tap into the power of positive ones. Their effect on pathology was unknown at the time. He got a movie projector and every Marx Brothers and Candid Camera reel could find. Cousins holed up in a hotel and slowly over time laughed himself well again.
One important aspect of this miracle was that it was so well documented. The case began an entirely new field known as psychoneuroimmunology. This is how thoughts and feelings change our brain chemistry, which in turn effects how the body confronts disease. Today, there are about a half dozen well known departments in places like Harvard, UCLA, The University of Ohio, and the University of Miami, and more. These researchers say that our thoughts and emotions affect us, either positively or negatively, right down to the cellular level.
The idea is not new. Healers throughout the ages have tried to find ways to goose the body into healing itself. This is the theory behind homeopathic medicine, considered unfounded by the medical establishment. But modern medicine wouldn't operate without the vital concept at its root, what we call the placebo effect. The gold standard for medical research is the placebo-controlled, double-blind study. Here one group of participants is given a drug or undergoes a procedure, while the other receives a fake version. Researchers do not know which is which until the results are examined. It is expected that a certain number of those in the placebo group experience symptom relief, even though don't receive actual treatment.
So how effective are placebos? Several studies have shown symptom relief in treating pain, the menopause, irritable bowel syndrome, asthma, sleep disorders, and depression. Researchers theorize that the belief or expectation surrounding a certain drug or procedure initiates some kind of biochemical reaction in the brain which fulfills the expectation. Those with stronger expectations are more likely to experience the placebo effect. Studies have shown for instance that those given a placebo described as a new painkiller saw levels of the body's own natural pain relievers, called endorphins, shoot up. Other studies have recorded changes in brain activity in response to taking a placebo.
The placebo effect can go the other way too. The patient can feel "side effects" such as headaches, nausea, constipation, and others, even when taking a sugar pill. This is called the "nocebo effect." Taken together, these two phenomena are known as expectation effects. So can we use the placebo effect to heal the body? After all, what's better than all natural healing with no side effects?
Unfortunately, over the last six decades, the placebo effect has been something of a mystery, and a source of consternation for medical science. Today, we are just starting to see a strong interest in exploring the mind-body connection. An overarching theory on how the placebo effect works is still forthcoming. Recent studies support the hypothesis that the effect pertains mainly to symptoms, not the cause. There are some studies which look into using the placebo effect for symptom relief. Such a breakthrough could be huge, especially in light of the chronic pain epidemic currently gripping the U.S., the opioid addiction epidemic resulting from it.
Placebo labeled for a trial. Could this help alleviate pain while avoiding addiction or side effects?
One Harvard study discovered that 44% of patients with IBD found relief by undergoing sham acupuncture. Coupled with empathetic interaction with the practitioner, symptom relief shot up to 66%. What's more, many doctors are already using the placebo effect to help patients.
A 2008 study found that around half of doctors in the U.S. prescribed placebos such as sedatives, vitamins, or over-the-counter pain relievers, to help increase patient expectations of recuperation. A 2010 study found that 40% of all doctors gave an antibiotic as a placebo, though hopefully this is changing in light of the current "superbug" threat. Meanwhile, 11% had given injections or prescribed pills that served no medical purpose. Though widespread, ethically speaking, the practice is controversial. Doctor shouldn't lie to patients. But how can the placebo effect be used without deception?
Doctors today already use the placebo effect in some ethical ways. For instance, a positive doctor-patient relationship can help set up a positive expectation. How diagnoses are delivered and discussed, what cues and expectations the doctor gives, and the employment of certain conditioning techniques can all make a difference in how the patient responds to therapy. In terms of conditioning, empathy, positive touch, and a certain level of confidence have been shown to catalyze healing.
Physicians have long known the impact positive emotions have on healing. But how to use it has escaped them.
Ted J. Kaptchuk is an expert in the placebo effect. He is an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, and the director of the program in placebo studies and therapeutic encounters at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Kaptchuk led a groundbreaking 2012 study which looked at the placebo effect on the genetic level. He discovered a certain genetic mutation associated with the neurotransmitter dopamine. When released, this brain chemical causes feelings of wellbeing, reward, and euphoria. The patients carrying this mutation were found to be more likely to respond to the placebo effect. This could help scientists pinpoint who would most likely benefit from placebo-related treatment. It might also aid researchers in parsing out which symptom relief aspects of a certain drug are psychological, and which are biochemically based.
Kaptchuk says we shouldn't expect the placebo effect to be able to say cure a tumor. Apparently, the mystery behind Norman Cousins is still intact. But in a breakthrough letter to The New England Journal of Medicine, he did write that we can and should use the placebo effect along with traditional medicine to influence patients and help them manage their symptoms in a safe, effective manner.


Therapeutic boarding schools in Delaware. Free help finding the best boarding school in Delaware.
Looking for a therapeutic boarding school in Delaware? Is your teen at risk, or already spinning out of control?
There is nothing worse than having your teen spinning out of control, and no worse feeling than the hopelessness parents experience in the process. It is difficult to know what to do and how to react when your adolescent daily reaches new lows in disobedience, dishonesty, and disrespect, and chooses the wrong path in life.
We understand, because we went through the same thing with our son. Putting him in a therapeutic boarding school was the hardest thing we've ever done as parents. Worse yet, that program didn't work out, so we were out a lot of money and still had no solution.
We learned from this traumatic experience that therapeutic programs can be quite different and need to be selected based on their strengths and avoided if they have serious weaknesses. It's important to know what those strengths and weaknesses are.
No one was available to help us find the right school for our boy. We made a mistake to begin with, and that cost us dearly, but after months of research we found a good program that was able to help our son. Today, our family and even our son are thankful for that program.
So, is your family experiencing the same storms of a teenager who is out of control? Are you walking on pins and needles around your teen? Does he or she go into rages, or seclusion?
Let us help you in finding the best program whether or not it is near Delaware. We've made it our life goal to know all we can about every school, so we can help parents (without cost) find the best possible choice for their troubled teen. We want to help parents avoid the same mistake we did.
Now, every day we hear from scores of frustrated parents in every state like Delaware, who share how their once normal and happy child has become seriously out of control — just like our son was. They talk about how it has disrupted their family and how they fear for their child's future and very life.
If your child is out of control, he or she needs you to intervene. That's why you've landed on this site, so allow us to be the resource you need to help you find just the right program, hopefully in or near Delaware. The downward spiral your teen is on can have tremendous destructive potential with lifelong consequences, or even bring a teen's life to a quick end. Don't wait. Act now based on what you know is true — your faith, your own beliefs, and what you know is best for your child.
Allow us to help you find a therapeutic boarding school closest to Delaware that will provide your teen with the help and mentoring he or she needs, and within your budget. We've visited most of these programs and we know the personnel there. We know what they are good at, and what they are not so good at. We poll parents who have placed their teen in these programs, so we know how well they have done to help the teen.
Don't put your child in a boarding school near Delaware merely out of convenience (like we did). Rather, find the program that is most likely to help your child, even if it is outside of Delaware. Give us the chance to tell you about a few of them. Fill in the online form now to begin that process. There is NO CHARGE for this service.

Episode 175 - New Book Club Book, Mary Tedesco of Genealogy Roadshow, DNA, and Lisa's New Book
Download the show notes here
I'm pretty excited about this episode because it's just jammed back with all kinds of fun stuff! (image right: my Grandson Joey excited about his new wagon!) First, Genealogy Gems Contributing Editor Sunny Morton will be here to announce our new Book Club read for this first quarter of 2015. And it is fantastic! Even better, the nationally acclaimed author who wrote it will be joining us on a future episode to give us the back story.
Then, since it is January that means that a lot of television shows are ramping back up, and one of those is the Genealogy Roadshow on PBS. And not only will it be back with new episodes, it will also feature a new addition to the panel of hosts. Professional genealogist Mary Tedesco is joining Genealogy Roadshow and she will join me a little later in this episode to talk about her experience on the show and also about her specialty which is Italian research, which I couldn't be happier about since we haven't had a chance to delve into Italian genealogy until now.
Our Genealogy Gems DNA Guide will also be here. And I have a very special announcement for you at the end of the show.

Epitaphs from Genealogy Gems listeners on Facebook:
From Cindy:"One of the most fascinating epitaphs I've ever seen is in Monticello, Florida. It reads, "Remember reader as you pass by, as you are now so once was I, as I am now so you shall be, prepare for death and come with me." The date of death was in the 1880s. The tombstone is made of metal instead of stone."
From Jan: "Most memorable epitaph to date: In Memory of Elizabeth Palmer who should have been the wife of Simeon Palmer who died Aug 1776. This in the Old Commons Cemetery, Rhode Island."
Jillian writes in about the story of Mary Ann Munns Cooke's untimely death
"What an amazing, heartbreaking - yet somewhat uplifting - story. I feel compelled to share a similar struggle on my family tree - it is a bit long (for all of the details, I would advise reading my blog at www.burgessgenealogy.wordpress.com), but the shorthand version involves my great-great grandmother being widowed by the Spanish Influenza, and her children being taken from her by a corrupt politician, who uses his connections to incarcerate her in an insane asylum to gain control of her late husband's property and mineral rights.
She survived it, miraculously, and went on to live a happy life, even getting to see her great grandchildren being born. My grandmother told me that her father was forever changed by what his mother endured, but he was the most forgiving man she'd ever met. It reaffirms your statement that bad things may happen, but you don't have to let it determine your outlook, your path. Much love to you and your family for overcoming and living out a legacy that recognizes the struggle, and the acts involved in overcoming."
GEM: Book Club with Lisa and Sunny Morton
Our last featured book, She Left Me the Gun, was a memoir by a woman raised in England who researched her South African past. This time, we fly across the pond to the new world, to a bestselling U.S. novel, Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline (image right).
Orphan Train is one of my favorite books. I've read it twice and recommended it more times than I can count.
I thought a lot about whether a genealogy book club, which is based on researching real history, should incorporate novels. But genealogists are three dimensional people; we're not all fact and no fun, right? I have loved historical fiction from the time I read A Proud Taste for Scarlet and Miniver by EL Konisburg. It's a kid's chapter book about the life of Eleanor of Aquitaine told from her point of view as she and the cast of characters from her life were sitting on a cloud in heaven waiting for her husband King Henry II to get into heaven. That novel bred in me this love for re-imagined history, in which the stories and lessons from past lives are repackaged in a way that's meaningful to us, in a way that we're willing to listen to.
But back to Orphan Train. I'm guessing that many of you have already read it and loved it—if you have, raise your hands on the Genealogy Gems Facebook page and tell us so! If not, here's a teaser for you. Orphan Train follows the story of Vivian, who as an Irish girl immigrant with another name entirely loses her family and is forced to ride the orphan train.
What was the orphan train? It was an early, special urban brand of foster care in which homeless or neglected children were gathered up and put on trains out to the country. They advertised ahead of time their stops in little rural railroad depots, where essentially the children were lined up and local residents could come pick up kids and take them home. Essentially the children were advertised as free labor sources for farm families.
So, Vivian rides the orphan train and we follow her childhood through some challenging placements with a few families and then into young adulthood when she is still trying to pin down an identity for herself. Then we move ahead in time. As a 91-year old woman, Vivian meets Molly, a teenager in today's foster care system. Molly comes to Vivian's home to help her clean out her attic because she's gotten in trouble and needs community service hours. Molly thinks this old lady has nothing in common with her, not knowing anything about Vivian's own trials as an orphan rider.
So what makes this a good read for family history lovers? The core of the story is about family identity. Both these girls were separated from their families at a young age—they were told their past wasn't good enough and they were re-booting their lives from scratch. You can't do that to a person without serious consequences to their psyches. This book reminds me how important it is that each of us has a storyline from the past that existed before we were born, and brought us to who we are today. It's perilous to break that story up or to be ignorant of it. The author spent a lot of time with the real stories of people who have lived in foster care or who rode the orphan trains, so the feel of the book would be authentic and real even though it's not wholly factual. The orphan train history is so fascinating itself and this is a great way to be introduced to that chapter in history—which I have read is not limited to the U.S. I have read that about 100k children rode orphan trains in Canada, too.
Read the Genealogy Gems Book Club Book for 1st Quarter 2015: Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline.
Next month Sunny will be back with a few more suggestions for fun things to read and a teaser from the book, and then in March we'll have an interview with Christina Baker Kline.

Profile America: Ellis Island Opens
Thursday, January 1st. The place where many of our ancestors first stepped ashore when they came to America seeking a new life opened on this date in 1892 — Ellis Island in New York Harbor. The very first immigrant processed at the new facility was a 15-year-old Irish girl named Annie Moore. Over the course of more than 60 years, some 12 million people flowed through the center. Some sources say the number is considerably higher. The peak year was 1907, when just over a million immigrants came to Ellis Island. The complex now belongs to the National Park Service and is visited by several million people a year. In 1910, the foreign-born represented nearly 15 percent of America's population. Now, after falling through 1970, that figures sits at 12.9 percent.

Your DNA Guide with Diahan Southard
I am a huge proponent of the Chromosome Browser as an essential tool in genetic genealogy. I do agree that it should be a part of any genetic genealogy experience. I have been in meetings with Ancestry and they do have their reasons for not providing one, with privacy being paramount in their minds. The idea that we can have quick and relatively inexpensive access to our ENTIRE genome is a daunting thought. We can't possibly know what will lie ahead in the many industries implementing this amazing scientific advancement. Ancestry is just trying to be forward thinking. I too feel that this makes them seem like an overprotective parent that keeps their child in the house at all times behind two padlocked, steel-enforced doors, just so they won't wander out into the street and get hurt. And it is very frustrating. But on some level I do understand their perspective. They have a VERY long term perspective. They are planning and thinking about where this technology will be in 5, 10, 15, 20 years. At that time will will surely have moved away from the SNP testing we are doing now to full genome sequencing. At that very high level of comparison there will be many things that a chromosome browser could reveal about our health.
I think with the implementation of DNA circles Ancestry is trying to implement tools in the areas where they are comfortable, and actually capable. Yes, they are making mistakes. But so are the other testing companies. Yes the trees are flawed. They did release the DNA circles as Beta. I too have ready many concrete accounts of how this tool is making mistakes. But they are in uncharted territory here. No other company is trying to so fully integrate traditional genealogy with genetic genealogy, and there is something to be said for that. And, you will probably agree that one of the biggest frustrations with any testing company is getting people to post their family trees and/or respond to your inquiries about their family trees. By making inclusion in the Circles contingent upon having and linking your sample to a family tree (even a flawed one) it does encourage more people to post public trees. Of course, it does completely ignore anyone without a family tree- again, frustrating.

ALLISTON — Canadian surgeons are urging backyard cooks to throw out wire-bristled brushes, because thin, sharp wires can fall on the grill and then cling to food such as burgers, without being noticed.
When swallowed with a bite of food, the bristle can cause damage to the mouth, throat and epiglottis - a flap of cartilage that covers the opening of the windpipe when swallowing.
It can be an extremely painful and frightening experience.
Dr. Oswaldo Ramirez, chief of staff at Stevenson Memorial Hospital in Alliston, says he has had to remove bristles from patients' throats in the emergency department, but if the needle-like bristle travels into the intestine, the problem becomes more serious, or even life-threatening.
"When dealing with barbecue grill brush wires, the most concerning health issues arise with bristles that make it all the way down to the intestines," Ramirez said.
"Once in your intestine, it can perforate through the wall of your intestine, and that is quite concerning."
While sometimes foreign objects including the wire bristles can pass through without symptoms or injury, a single bristle can cause a life-threatening emergency.
There have been several cases at SMH over the years, and Ramirez said most were lodged in the patient's throat and were removed quickly.
"However the worst case was a patient that had the wire perforate his duodenum (small intestine) and had to be transferred to a surgical centre with an Intensive Care Unit (ICU)," he remembered.
"The difficult thing is that if you don't have a savvy physician it's very easy to miss making the appropriate diagnosis."
It's important when arriving at hospital with abdominal pain "to tell the doctor that you were grilling and not simply what you were eating," he advised.
The issue of barbecue brush bristles has become so widespread that it came up at this year's meeting of the Canadian Society of Otolaryngology.
During a discussion on ingested foreign objects that are difficult to remove, several ear, nose and throat surgeons spoke about their challenging surgeries.
The conclusion at this year's meeting was that there is no "surefire" way to remove the bristles and physicians would prefer "just to prevent it from happening in the first place."
By urging people to throw their brushes away, surgeons are hoping the bristle brushes will be removed from the market.
And grillers using a wire bristle brush should "watch the grill, take a good look at it and make sure it's really clean and free of any debris."


But it tires the hand unnecessarily," whispered Raoul.
Now that he had no work to hold, he laid the knuckles of the right hand in the hollow of the left, and then the knuckles of the left hand in the hollow of the right, and then passed a hand across his bearded chin, and so on in regular changes, without a moment's intermission.
The child's hand was pointing southward, along the road that led to London.
The bottle fell from his dead hand upon the yams without breaking, although the remnant of its contents gurgled gently out upon the deck.
Bring the boy here; thou shalt bid him farewell, then thou shalt slay him with thine own hand ere thou thyself art slain; it will be good sport to see.
Anna Mikhaylovna touched Pierre's hand and said, "Come.
The governor bade him take it out and hand it to the complainant; he obeyed trembling; the woman took it, and making a thousand salaams to all and praying to God for the long life and health of the senor governor who had such regard for distressed orphans and virgins, she hurried out of court with the purse grasped in both her hands, first looking, however, to see if the money it contained was silver.
Always in sublime carelessness had he lived, till now, and now it seemed to him that they had always reached out and dragged at him with vile hands.
Mine eye no longer overfloweth for the shame of suppliants; my hand hath become too hard for the trembling of filled hands.
MacDonald, glancing again at his hand, put in a thousand in markers.
But why don't you get a woman's hand and heart, Dr.

Woods To Step Away From Competitive Golf
By AP Photos by Ross Kinnaird/Getty Images
"I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person," Woods said.
Tiger Woods is shifting his focus from winning majors to saving his marriage.
Two weeks after Woods crashed his SUV into a tree outside his Florida home, setting in motion a swift fall that featured reports of rampant extramarital affairs, golf's biggest star delivered a stunning development of his own. He temporarily is walking away from the game that made him the first $1 billion athlete.
"After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf," Woods said Friday evening on his Web site. "I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person."
It will be the second straight year that the No. 1 player was on the sidelines.
A year ago, he missed eight months while recovering from reconstructive surgery on his left knee. This time, Woods is trying to repair a broken family, knowing this will be a far more difficult comeback.
"I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children," Woods said. "I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I've done, but I want to do my best to try."
Woods and his wife, Elin, have been married five years. They have a 2-year-old daughter and a 10-month-old son. The No. 1 player in golf has not been seen in public since the accident.
Woods gave no indication when he might return in what could be a pivotal year as he pursues the record 18 major championships won by Jack Nicklaus. Woods, who did not win a major this year, has 14.
The Masters, where Woods has won four times, is April 8-11. The U.S. Open is at Pebble Beach, where Woods won by a record 15 strokes in 2000, and the British Open returns to St. Andrews, where he has won twice by a combined 13 shots.
"We knew before he was coming back," said Steve Stricker, one of Woods' favorite players on tour. "Now, we're not sure when he's coming back. But this sounds good. I hope everything works out for him."
The PGA Tour supported the decision.
"His priorities are where they need to be, and we will continue to respect and honor his family's request for privacy," PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said in a statement, the tour's first public comment since Woods mentioned his "personal failings" and "transgressions" in a Dec. 2 statement. "We look forward to Tiger's return to the PGA Tour when he determines the time is right for him."
Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, told The Associated Press that it was the right decision for Woods and his family.
"The entirety of someone's life is more important than just a professional career," Steinberg said in an e-mail to the AP. "What matters most is a young family that is trying to cope with difficult life issues in a secluded and caring way. Whenever Tiger may return to the game should be on the family's terms alone."
Craig Parry, who played a practice round with Woods in Australia last month, said Woods brought the problems on himself.
"What he did was totally wrong," Parry said at the Australian PGA Championship. "And he's got no one to blame except himself. You can look at other people, but he's the one who's got to look in the mirror."
John Daly, who is going through his third divorce, said he has been trying to reach Woods and "he just didn't want to talk to anybody."
"I feel if there is anybody in this world who could give him some advice ..." Daly said in Australia. "I hope we get him back soon. They always say there is no one bigger in golf than the game itself. But Tiger is."
Woods was out of action from July 2008 until the end of February this year, and television ratings dropped 50 percent. The tour is trying to renew a half-dozen title sponsors, and it is to begin negotiations on the next television contract later next year.
As for Woods' corporate endorsements, all have stood by him for now.
"Tiger has been part of Nike for more than a decade," Nike said in a statement Friday. "He is the best golfer in the world and one of the greatest athletes of his era. We look forward to his return to golf. He and his family have Nike's full support."
Meanwhile, Accenture no longer has an image of Woods on the home page of its Web site. Earlier this week, Woods standing amid cactus plants studying his next shot was among three rotating pictures on the home page.
AT&T said it supported Woods' decision.
"We are presently evaluating our ongoing relationship with him," the company said in a statement. Not only does Woods carry the AT&T logo on his golf bag, the company is the title sponsor of his PGA Tour event over the July 4th weekend.
Steinberg said it would be "premature and inappropriate" to talk about Woods' specific business relationships.
"Suffice it to say, we have had thoughtful conversations and his sponsors have been open to a solution-oriented dialogue," Steinberg said. "Of course, each sponsor has unique considerations and ultimately the decisions they make we would fully understand and accept."
Earlier this year, Woods became the world's first athlete to surpass $1 billion in career earnings, according to Forbes magazine. His sponsors also include Gillette, Gatorade and Tag Heuer.
Woods last played a tournament Nov. 15 when he won the Australian Masters for his 82nd victory around the world.
Stricker, who went undefeated as Woods' partner at the Presidents Cup, said his leave was the right decision.
"I think it's great that he's going to put his family first and work things out," Stricker said from Naples, Fla., where he is playing the Shark Shootout. "Golf will always be there. He wants to make sure his marriage is right and everything is good on the homefront. We'll sure miss him on tour until he gets things taken care of."
Woods also indicated he would step away from the work of the Tiger Woods Foundation, which has served some 10 million children.
"There are millions of young people who have truly changed their lives through the foundation's programs, and millions more still counting on us for help," Woods said in a separate statement through his foundation. "I am committed to them and to the foundation's excellent work, and I know my staff will continue these efforts during my absence."

What is behind actor's apology to gun owners?
Jim Carrey is saying he's sorry.
The comedic actor sent out a series of tweets on Sunday apologizing for comments he's made in the past about gun owners.
"[Assault] rifle fans, I do not agree [with] u, nor do I fear u but I do love u and I'm sorry [that] in my outrage I called you names.That was wrong," he wrote. "[By the way] I don't need a crisis [manager], just a conscience. Calling [people] names is inappropriate but my position on assault weapons hasn't changed."
"I did Kickass [sic] a month b4 Sandy Hook and now in all good conscience I cannot support that level of violence," he tweeted in June, referring to the shootings that killed 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school last December.

I'm going to try and put into words our experience at The Martyn House Farm in Ellijay, Ga, but I am sure I will not be successful. It's just not possible. No words…no photos..no video can even come close to giving you the full experience of visiting in person. But, I have to try!
The current owners who transformed the property into the bed and breakfast it is today are artists. Joann was a potter and merchandiser; Rick is a photographer. Their artistry can be found over the entire space…from the window shades in the cottage adorned with Rick's photos from India, to the sink in the same space, made from a hand-thrown bowl created by Joann.
The Farmhouse and garden are, what I would call, rustic shabby chic. Take note of the towering patina'd columns in the dining room that were brought over from India, and the claw-tooth tub gracing a window upstairs. Every inch is beautiful.
Don't miss the decor on the chicken house, or the adorable white fence leading you to the veggie garden. In fact, I dare you to find a square foot of space not touched by the personality and love of Joann or Rick.
Depending on availability, you have a few room options when you stay.
You can also enjoy common rooms like the living and dining rooms, a sitting area, the porch, and more. This is especially ideal if you are celebrating a birthday or anniversary and want to invite other people to celebrate with you – you can rent out the entire farmhouse.
There are also four glamping tents to select from. These are not your typical state park "yurts." These are mammoth tents from India with bright, bold colors and shapes. They also include full bathrooms with a shower, sink and toilet. One of them also has a private outdoor bathtub!
Oh – something I think is super neat! You can request two twin beds or a king. For a romantic getaway, you'll want the king…but this is also a fun place to escape with the girls!
The tents each have a welcoming porch with a table and chairs, ceiling fans, a coffee station…and all the perks of home. Glamping season is April – December.
Finally, if the artist studio is available, I highly recommend it! It's where we stayed. It was previously Joann's retreat for creating her art, but it is now an amazing haven.
It includes a king bed and a twin (in another room, which we just used for unpacking our luggage.) There is also a full bathroom, a kitchen (sink, coffee, mini fridge, cafe table) and a chaise for lounging.
Outside you'll find a private fire pit and an outdoor bath. Yes, you heard me. More on that later – it warrants it's own section!
I love the shabby-chic of the farmhouse and the unexpected appeal of the glamping tents – but I am bonkers for the boho vibe of the cottage! Orange, purple, turquoise….it was so unexpected and lively! In fact, we've decided to create a space in our new home that pay homage to the cottage because we loved it so much.
First off, let me say that The Martyn House Farm is kiddo-FREE. Meaning, this retreat is adult-only. And while that might seem harsh, we appreciated escaping for the weekend knowing that we would not have to deal with any kiddos – our own or otherwise. There is nothing better than homeschooling and traveling with our children… but a guaranteed overnight free of ALL kids comes in a close second.
Joann and Rick are generally running their coffee shop, The Martyn House In Town (in downtown Ellijay) or traveling the world, so you probably won't see them here. Alex is the caretaker, and he is AMAZING! (He also makes seriously great eggs and potatoes – more on that later.) He will give you a tour, answer any questions, start the bonfire in the evening and be your point person.
You might run into other guests while here, especially during the evening bonfire or morning breakfast. There are also sitting areas and walking trails where you can possibly see other people…but for the most part, you are alone.
When I say alone, I really mean secluded. Joann and Rick took painstaking steps to ensure that each tent and the cottage were set off from the others, so that visitors would feel like they were in a private oasis. There is no romance in a tent when someone else can look out their window and see you pouring your wine! Here, there are no worries.
Don't let this scare you…and don't miss the chance to do it! There are two outdoor tubs here: one of the glamping tents has a tub, and this one is at the cottage.
It's adjacent to the building, and covered almost entirely by huge wisteria vine. This area includes a shower and a tub – we picked the tub.
Fill it with warm water and heavenly bubble bath (provided,) throw on the rope lights, then don a robe (also provided – thank you!) and head outside. There is a little chair beside the tub, also great for holding your bubbly.
I will spare you the details, but I do want to say this little venture was my favorite part of our stay…so relaxing. I felt completely safe and private…and free to unwind and enjoy hubby's company.
Down one of the property's trails, you'll find a sweet little pond fed by a spring. Also decorated with bohemian charm, the pond includes a fire pit, bar area, and lounging pavilion with sofas and cushions and lighting for the evening.
We visited in the day time, but wandered back after dark. From the pond we heard bull frogs (maybe 5-10 of them!) and saw the stars like never before. There is almost zero light pollution here, so they showed exceptionally bright in the sky.
We brought our iPhone and played music, dancing under the stars and having a glass of champagne on the sofa. Even the bullfrogs enjoyed our music.
We enjoyed it with another couple, on the porch of the farmhouse. It was served complete with an adorable table setting, and perfectly centered under a chandelier.
If you don't want to do a big spread, then you can also run into town and enjoy coffee and a pastry at their coffee house.
Our final reason to head to The Martyn House is location, location, location!
I'm going to be very candid with you…we head to the mountains a lot. A LOT. And except for apple season, Ellijay had only been a "pass thru" town for our family. However, after spending a weekend there, I have been schooled.
From restaurants to artisans, and from wineries to water fun- on the lake or down the river – Ellijay is great for a couple's getaway or a family vacation.
Stay tuned – later this week we will give you the full low-down on the best things to do in Ellijay!
Disclosure: Thank you to The Martyn House and Gilmer Chamber for hosting us. Opinions here are always our own.
8 Comments on "7 Reasons You Need A Date Night At The Martyn House Now [you can thank us later]"
We started here probably 10 years ago for a girls trip and it was so much fun. They only had the tents back then but it was so relaxing and fancy! Looks like I need to go back and bring my husband this time!
Absolutely! Get the artist cottage – it's spectacular.
Just added to my bucket list! Thanks for the tips!

The Enhanced Background Checks Act is a proposed United States law that would strengthen background check procedures done before a federal firearms licensee may transfer a firearm to a person who does not have a federal firearms license.

Background
In the United States, access to guns is controlled by law under a number of federal statutes. These laws regulate the manufacture, trade, possession, transfer, record keeping, transport, and destruction of firearms, ammunition, and firearms accessories. They are enforced by state agencies and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

In addition to federal gun laws, all state governments and some local governments have their own laws that regulate firearms.

The right to keep and bear arms is protected by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Last February, Benoit Millot directed a short, beautiful, informative movie called Be Linen, promoting the linen industry in Europe. It concentrated on linen, the fiber – its beauty, its uses, its heritage if you will. It's definitely a movie worth watching if you love linen.
It's funny to think that this fabulous fiber that I prefer above any for stitching on can be used to make a hard, shiny, polishable surface. Or a surfboard.
The movie is also fascinating because it shows the ingenuity of the folks in the linen industry and the confidence that they have in the humble (but oh-so-versatile) flax plant. It is certainly a promotional film – promoting this age-old fiber for modern day usage. The subtitle photo from the movie (above, with the surface being polished) really says it all: "we're not restricted…" Oh, the amazing things can be done with linen!
You can find Be Linen 2 on Vimeo, as well, if you'd rather watch it there.
The movie is in French, with English subtitles.
I hope you enjoy it! And I hope you have a terrific weekend!
Thank you Mary. This video "BE LINEN" is very interesting.
Npw when I will insert my needle on linen fabric, I will know a lot of story about this "magnifique fibre".
I enjoyed "Be Linen" and "Be Linen 2" immensely—and would never have been further enlightened about one of my favorite natural materials without your recommendation. Thank you, Mary!
Mary, I have always been inerested in Linen, from the time of taking weaving courses at our local college. You may also be interested in a wonderful book "Magic of Linen", by Linda Heinrich. She made several trips to Holland and Belgium when she was doing research for the book. It has been reprinted recently and is available through Amazon. The book has a wonderful history section along with weaving information.


I'd love to share a trip to Atlanta which included a visit to Flip Burger Boutique, animal print robes in a bar, and my "missed connection" at ATL. Unfortunately, I barely have the energy to write this post. Life has been sucked out of me, my sinuses are killing me and ears are plugged. I'm sick and can't imagine how I would feel if I didn't get my flu shot. So, all of these good things will have to wait, along with tales of other adventures.
Until whenever, let the salivating begin with the photo from Flip Burger.

Elias Theodorou Esther Lin, MMA Fighting
Former UFC fighter Elias Theodorou has died from cancer.
He was 34 years old.Theodorou was born and raised in Mississauga, Ontario, of Cypriot descent, and attended Meadowvale Secondary School. He went to Humber College to earn a B.A Degree in Creative Advertising, but after Theodorou's first year in college, he chose to take MMA classes as a workout before opting to pursue MMA as a career.[6]
On February 19, 2020, Theodorou was the first MMA fighter and professional athlete in history to receive a sanctioned exemption for medical cannabis (TUE) in sport by a governing body via the British Columbia Athletic Commission
MMA Fighting confirmed the news with a representative for Theodorou, following an initial report from BJPenn.com. TSN reports that Theodorou was battling colon cancer and that his diagnosis was known to few.
Theodorou (19-3) was a veteran of 22 MMA bouts, including an 8-3 run in the UFC. He won The Ultimate Fighter: Nations middleweight tournament and holds notable victories over Eryk Anders, Dan Kelly, Cezar Ferreira, and Sam Alvey.
Along with his fighting career, Theodorou was best known for being an advocate for the use of medicinal marijuana in combat sports. In 2020, the Canadian veteran became the first fighter to receive a therapeutic use exemption for medical cannabis, which was granted by the British Columbia Athletic Commission.
Theodorou also made headlines when he served as a "ring boy" for an Invicta FC event in 2018.

After making his pro debut in 2011, Theodorou began his career 8-0 and went on to earn a UFC contract by winning TUF in 2014. He parted ways with the promotion in 2019, following a unanimous decision loss to Derek Brunson. Back on the regional scene, Theodorou went 3-0 and scored a unanimous decision nod over Bryan Baker at a Colorado Combat event this past December in what would be his final fight.


It's that time again! (a little early, as I will be indisposed on the 1st) As always, to be on the ballot, you need to be in the top 10 of posts for the past month. I'm excluded, as is anyone who has won in the past 12 months. The current listing is always up here: top posters, under the quicklinks menu.
Dang didn't think i was that active to get up there this time.
This month went really quick.
Like last month lets vote for someone that hasn't won yet.
^ I feel that, go tom!
Because you tricked me, I should have known!
Victims of the "YOU" tag.
Clearly I don't use the internet enough thus don't deserve this lol.
Dang, I've never been anything of any month before!
During my term in office, I promise to ride my motorcycle, and maybe drink a few beers now and then!
Impressive number of votes !!!
Yay I picked a winner!
Thanks all! I have new-found confidence, and I'm a new me, I couldn't have done it without all of you!
I've done the latter half every night this week, in TN even!
I go pick up the new bike sunday!
DC is a lazy place?
Congrats on MOTM and the new ride!
I don't believe you two understand how busy DC is, I mean with all the fund raisers, the shake downs of big business, and the lunches to get done before recess they are some hard working extortionists.
So oh world traveler, what's your request going to be?
