Tellina bodegensis Hinds, 1845
Common name(s): Bodega tellin, Bodega clam
|Synonyms: Moerella bodegensis, Tellina santarosae
Subclass Heterodonta
Order Veneroida
Superfamily Tellinoida
|Tellina bodegensis, view of left valve. Length 5 cm. Found on beach at Mukkaw Bay near Cape Flattery
|(Photo by: Dave Cowles, July 2014 )
Description: As with all members of Family Tellinidae, on the outside the shell has no radial ribs and only fine concentric growth lines. The shell is about twice as long as high, and the anterior end of the shell is broader and more rounded than the pointed posterior end. The hinge ligament is external. The shell valves close together or nearly so on the posterior end. Inside the clam has two adductor muscle scars of almost equal size, a pallial sinus (photo), and two cardinal hinge teeth on each valve (photo). It has no chondrophores. Genus Tellina also has lateral hinge teeth, especially visible in the right valve. Tellina bodegensis has lateral teeth along with the cardinal teeth (photo) and no ridge just posterior to the anterior adductor muscle scar (photo). Shell is white outside, may have yellow or pink tinge inside. Length to 6 cm.
How to Distinguish from Similar Species:Tellina modesta has a ridge just posterior to the anterior adductor muscle and grows only up to about 2 cm long. This is the largest local Tellina. Macoma clams such as M. nasuta have no lateral hinge teeth. The posterior end of both this shell and M. nasuta turn slightly to the right (photo), but the turn in M. nasuta seems more marked.
Geographical Range: Southern Alaska to Bahia Magdalena, Baja California, Mexico
Depth Range: Intertidal to 100 m
Habitat: Exposed sandy shores.
Biology/Natural History: This species
is uncommon. The shell lies on its left side a few centimeters under
the sand and extends its two separate siphons up into the water.
The long inhalant siphon moves around the surface of the sediment vacuuming
up fine detritus. Predators include surf scoters.

General Notes and Observations: Locations, abundances, unusual behaviors:
I have not often found this shell and it is said to be uncommon. In July 2014 there were many along the high-tide strand line at Mukkaw Bay, next to Hobuck Campground near Cape Flattery. The valves had a surprisingly wide range of thickness, from moderately thin and fragile to at least twice as thick.
This view of the interior (anterior is to the left) shows the general shell shape, the adductor muscle scars and pallial sinus, and the slight yellow cast present in some shells. Although these two
clams are just slightly different in length they differ sharply in thickness. The ventral edge of the shell to the left is 0.7 mm thick, while the same region in the shell to the right is 2.7 mm thick.
The anterior adductor muscle scar does not have a ridge just posterior to it. The anterior end of the shell is to the left in this photo.
There are two cardinal hinge teeth on each valve, plus at least one lateral tooth. The lateral tooth is most easily seen on the right valve (bottom valve in this photo). Anterior is to the left.
This ventral view (anterior end down, right valve to the right) shows the slight rightward bend to the anterior and especially the posterior end of the shell. The clam lies on its side in the
sediment with the right valve upwards and extends its siphons up from there. Compare the curvature of this species' shell to that of Macoma nasuta.

FWT organizers finalize judging
Big mountain freeriding is one of the most difficult sports to judge. Besides the diversity of lines that one venue might offer, judges must consider the way the competitor rides the line, the tricks thrown, and the rider's own personal style, plus there's the way the venue's snow conditions might change from the first competitor to the last. At times, it's not a matter of comparing apples to oranges, but apples to orangutans.
While the Freeskiing World Tour, Freeride World Tour and snowboarding's Masters Tour had their own judging standards and processes that have evolved over the years, the recent merger of the three tours has brought a need for a new, hybrid system for the coming years.
Which is why, last weekend, representatives and athletes from both world tours met in Squaw Valley, Calif., to discuss a new judging system. The goal was to synthesize the advantages of each tour, without making the final product overly complicated or time consuming.
The final product had to be accurate, efficient, and useful across different levels of the sport (juniors, qualifiers, and the world tour), as well as being simple and concise in order to provide feedback to aspiring riders.
"We had three different judging systems and we had to make sure to not come up with a beast that is not usable," says Berti Denervaud, snowboarding head judge of the Freeride World Tour. "Most importantly, [we wanted a system] that's not going to oblige riders to change the way they were riding in order to fit the new system."
The end result, determined after several days worth of meetings and discussions over Labor Day weekend, is called the Global Freeride Judging System. It's a system that borrows from the overall impression formula used on the Freeride World Tour, the line and categorical scoring of the Freeskiing World Tour, and the straightforward feedback of the Masters Tour.
While the final system is still being tweaked, the end result is set to meet the versatility requirements of multiple tours, the simplicity requirements of officials who may have less than a minute to judge, and the accuracy and feedback needed by the athletes.
"The more we broke the separate judging formats, the clearer it became that we were not that far off in the beginning," says Freeskiing World Tour Director of Competition Bryan Barlow. "We were all trying to accomplish the same thing, which is to reward the best, most impressive riding from the judges' point of view on the given venue and day."

(GALVESTON, TX) – Polygamist leader Warren Jeffs was hospitalized last week. Officials say Jeffs remains in stable condition at a hospital in Galveston, Texas. Jeffs has required emergency care several times since his capture in 2006 because of hunger strikes. Jeffs, who was given a life sentence on sexual assault charges in 2011, remains the ecclesiastical head of the FLDS Church, which has extensive property holdings in Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and Idaho. Prosecutors say Jeffs continues to run the church from prison, though he is barred from having contact with an estimated two dozen underage girls he's married since 2002.

I have Type 1 and have stage 3 kidney disease, and high blood pressure. im wondering if any of you females out there have been in the same boat as me and have had children??? im not even sure that i want kids yet but would like to know if its even an option. Ive been getting a little discouraged and afraid that because of all my health problems, pregnancy and parenthood will simply not be an option for me....can somebody help me out???
thanks a bunch!!
If you are thinking about having children, you want to get your A1C at 6 or less. Get a pump and a cgm, test, test, test, and limit carbs until your numbers are good. Fin a high risk pregnancy, diabetologist who can assess your bp and kidney status currently. When I became pregnant, it was not planned, my doctors wanted me to terminate the pregnancy. I was 32, a diabetic for 22 years, uncontrolled for years, but very strong willed. I had severe retinopathy 10 years prior, but kidneys were in good shape. I developed toxicema in the 6th month, and they took our baby at 8 months due to losing his heartbeat. After birth, his blood sugar dropped and he went into seizure, despite me repetitively insisting they start a glucose iv as soon as he was delivered. The result: hypotonic muscle syndrome, and other neurologiccal disorders which have been difficult to handle. You must also remember that you need to stay healthy for at least 18 years post birth to raise your child, and pregnancy puts great strain on kidneys and eyes. This is not to say you can't have a child. But get controlled first, speak to medical professionals who have expertise with diabetic pregnancies, and do what it takes to get and maintain control for yourself and your baby. By the way, my son is 18, he is doing well as I am. He is the best thing in my life.
thank u very much for ur advice. i have rhetinopathy too but mine was the beginning stages when they caught it.im trhing not to get discouraged but its becoming really difficult. my husband doesnt kno if we shud even try becuz he doesnt want to put me thru all the health issues that wud be made worse w pregnancy. but then i doubt we cud adopt either becuz nobody is going to want to give sumone w my health problems a child. but again thank u so much for sharing ur story. i really appreciate it

TITANYEN, Haiti — Haiti issued wildly conflicting death tolls for the Jan. 12 earthquake on Wednesday, adding to confusion about how many people actually died — and to suspicion that nobody really knows.
A day after Communications Minister Marie-Laurence Jocelyn Lassegue raised the official death toll to 230,000, her office put out a statement quoting President Rene Preval as saying 270,000 bodies had been hastily buried by the government after the earthquake.
A press officer withdrew the statement, saying there was an error, but reissued it within minutes. Later Wednesday, the ministry said that due to a typo, the number should have read 170,000.
Even that didn't clear things up. In the late afternoon, Preval and Lassegue appeared together at the government's temporary headquarters.
Preval, speaking in English, told journalists that the number was 170,000, apparently referring to the number of bodies contained in mass graves.
Lassegue interrupted him in French, giving a number lower than she had given the previous day: "No, no, the official number is 210,000."
Preval dismissed her.
"Oh, she doesn't know what she's talking about," he said, again in English.
No foreign government or independent agency has issued its own death toll. Many agencies that usually can help estimate casualty numbers say they are too busy helping the living to keep track of the dead. And the Joint Task Force in charge of the relief effort — foreign governments and militaries, U.N. agencies and Haitian government officials — quotes only the government death toll.
That toll has climbed from a precise 111,481 on Jan. 23 to 150,000 on Jan. 24, to 212,000 on Saturday, to 230,000 on Tuesday. Preval's count of 170,000 bodies buried in mass graves may represent only a piece of the toll.
A death toll of 230,000 would equal the number of people killed in the tsunami that devastated a dozen countries around the Indian Ocean after a magnitude 9.2 earthquake on Dec. 26, 2004.
Even some officials express skepticism that the government is keeping count.
"I personally think that a lot of information being given to the public by the government is estimates," said Haiti's chief epidemiologist, Dr. Roc Magloire.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is flying to Haiti to mediate in a political crisis there while other administration officials are keeping watch on violent protests halfway across the world in Egypt.
Clinton will meet Sunday with President Rene Preval and the three candidates vying to succeed him during her visit. She will also see a treatment center for the cholera epidemic that has killed almost 4,000 people.
Haiti's political crisis stems from a first-round presidential election in November that was marred by fraud.
The U.S. wants Preval's preferred candidate, Jude Celestin, to bow out because the Organization of American States says he had the least support. The U.S warns that continued aid for Haiti's reconstruction from last year's earthquake is at stake.
Haiti's presidential run-off is in March.

Nearly extirpated from Ohio in the early part of the century, Canada geese are now so numerous that they can cause conflicts, especially in urban areas.
Urban areas contribute to the growth in the Canada goose population in three ways an abundance of food (short grass for grazing), plenty of nesting habitat, (ponds, small lakes and water retention basins), and protection (city ordinances against goose hunting).
Contrary to popular opinion, Canada geese are not being pushed into urban areas because of development and destruction of their habitat. Rather, they are being drawn to urban areas because development often increases their habitat. As urban areas continue to grow in Ohio and the amount of goose habitat expands, it is very likely that urban geese will also continue to grow in numbers.
The Division of Wildlife routinely responds to inquiries about what can be done to alleviate problems associated with conflict geese. Most complaints come from apartment complexes, golf courses and businesses where ponds or small lakes are surrounded by lush green grass, the perfect combination of food and cover for the adaptable Canada goose.
The critical element in goose problem solving is timing. Now is the time to drive geese off of property, plan ways to reduce the amount of mowed grass around ponds, and/or put up barriers to keep geese out of specific areas.
It is too late if landowners who wait until geese start to lay eggs before they decide to do something about them. Once that first egg is laid, almost nothing will cause that Canada goose to leave the area. And last but not least, if you dont want Canada geese around, do not allow people to feed them on your property.

Case Study
Next-generation CAD forms platform for future success
Toshiba Tec DPTS (NX CAD)
Knowledge Fusion technology is a great reason to upgrade
Ensuring success through use of next-generation technology
With eight development and manufacturing facilities worldwide, Toshiba Tec's Document Processing & Telecommunication Systems Company has created a series of outstanding imaging and telecommunications products, including the e-STUDIO 850 multifunction peripheral (MFP) and FANTASIA 312 full-color MFP.
The company adopted I-deas™ software, now referred to as I-deas™ software, as its 3D CAD system in 1996 and by 1999 had migrated to full 3D design. Subsequently, it actively promoted the creation of support systems using product data management (PDM). In 2004, the company began looking into next-generation 3D CAD technology and evaluated a wide range of systems, from high-end to midrange. After thoroughly comparing the pros and cons of migration for each system, the company decided to adopt NX™ software – for its track record, features and functionality as well as the ease of migration from I-deas. In April 2006, the company will introduce NX and gradually migrate over to the new system.
The intent of the migration is to work more efficiently and with more sophistication by actively leveraging the advanced features of NX. "I-deas isn't just a tool," says Takuro Ito, who heads the group in charge of Group Design Support at the company. "It's an extremely refined instrument and the decision to migrate from I-deas, with which the designers were very familiar, was by no means an easy one. But we decided that adopting next-generation CAD was essential for improving the sophistication of our design work and development productivity. The migration to NX was an excellent chance to dramatically improve our techniques."
Next-generation CAD permits advanced design and reduces labor
According to Ito, the company will derive three major benefits from the migration to NX. First, it will be easier to create and modify shapes. NX direct modeling feature and user defined feature, for example, will greatly reduce the work required to create digital models. (The company actually took parts modeled in I-deas and re-modeled them in NX to quantitatively measure the improvement in efficiency. For some parts, the number of work steps and processing time were reduced by more than half. The total number of clicks was also 22 percent lower, and the file sizes were also about half as large.) NX also has very good performance. It is able to load an entire MFP assembly, which consists of 3,000 to 7,000 parts and quickly display it. This makes it very easy to reference adjacent parts, and is expected to dramatically improve design efficiency.
The second benefit is the ability to embed quality more deeply into the design model. For example, the assembly binding functionality in NX can be used to easily and clearly incorporate spatial relationships between 3D assemblies into a design, contributing to the spread of intermediate tolerance design. Also, the 3D annotation feature in NX is expected to make it easy to embed necessary non-shape information into designs.
The third benefit of NX is that it enables more effective linking with analysis and manufacturing. Ito says direct linking with finite element analysis will be possible, as well as linking with tolerance analysis software. The company will also take advantage of Siemens PLM Software's visualization technology to share models with downstream processes.
Knowledge Fusion offers biggest benefit
"Even bigger than these benefits," says Ito, "is Knowledge Fusion (KF)." He explains that this revolutionary new feature offers a fundamental solution to the age-old problem of knowledge management. "We have particularly high expectations for the Check-Mate feature," he says. "Using this could transform our drawing-inspection organization."
The Check-Mate feature is a design rule checker capable of executing batch checking after shape definitions have been made. This feature uses the standard design rules built into the CAD system to automatically detect design "deviations" among parts and assemblies. Users can also develop their own checks. Ito says that creating a "robot drawing inspection" using this feature should provide a means for improving the precision of drawing inspections. Meanwhile, a QuickCheck feature is available for checking design rules in real time, while defining shapes. Ito explains that this should be very effective for designer education.
"Although we provide our design rulebook as a file, quite a few of our designers never look at it," says Ito. He says that the Quick Check feature in NX can be imposed on designers, greatly increasing the effectiveness of the rulebook.
Next step
With its next-generation CAD system in place, the company aims to create a more seamless environment through the evolution of PDM. NX will now be integrated with Teamcenter® software. The plan is to make NX a more integral part of design data management and process management.

New page + Samurai Jack Artist
As you can tell i have just added a new page (hopefully it's there, at the moment my browser is not allowing me to view it, but my unshakable faith has me believing that it is actually there). This page should have taken half the time but I time management is not my strong point, especially when I have to balance comics and Finite Math. And I suck at math. Lets see if we can make that week deadline next page. ;)
Anywho onto the bloggy bits. I was recently revisiting one of my favorite Sunday cartoons as a kid, Samurai Jack; in order to study it's often dialouge-free, action based storytelling and minimalistic aestetics. The show, which you can watch here, is an exemplary example of taking big screen epicness and wrapping it in an iconic cartoony style. This is a concept I'd like to incorporate into my comic as well. The plot itself reads like a quest from world of warcraft, with JUST enough justification for its stylish violence. But what really caught my eye about this show when I was young was it's atmospheric prescence, I mean check this out:
Shits crazy right? This is the imagination fuel that was fed to us 90's kids. That is also the standard I hold my comic's backgrounds to. I cannot wait to really go crazy on some of the enviroments in Warmachine (Now that they are finally leaving this trench after 14 damn pages).
The art director of the show is Chris Reccardi who is a well established animator and artist in his own right who has worked with Sony, Disney and Dreamworks. He resides in Pasadena, California: The place that I hope and dream that I will one day get to visit. It's the to-go place if you are a cartoon artist. His art is usually gesso on wood and is themed around robots, scooters, music, retro cartoons and petite women with big cabooses (all things that I love very much). I find his whole portfolio fascinating as he seems to be the originator of abstract art in 2d animation. Blocky can indeed be beautiful.
Are memories of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends flooding your mind yet? They should be.
If you would like to check out more of Reccardi's excellent portfolio go here.
Well that's all folks. Ill be dropping the sketch for my newest page soon. Keep an eye out, as it is a page I am extremely exited for. Ill leave you with a song by Blackmill. He is relatively new on the scene but his mechanical melodies are some of the best I have heard of late:
The vocals in this track are provided by Veela, who has collabed with a variety of "chillstep" artists that I enjoy. Give her a search too.

City officials are planning a $1.3 million upgrade for Prescott Promenade, the park that's the site of weekly summer concerts in downtown El Cajon.
However, two council members who heard about the plans in a workshop this week expressed reservations about spending the money at a time when the city has a budget crisis.
The plans for the park include planting more trees, relocating the stage and making it larger. A string of benches, along with seat walls, would provide more seating for visitors or concert spectators.
Patrick Caughey, president of landscape consulting firm Wimmer Yamada and Caughey, said the changes would make the park conducive for more events than the weekly concerts and car shows now held there.
"You're making use of the space," he told city officials and council members. "How can we make it better?"
Caughey sees the plans for Prescott Promenade as part of a larger "superblock" project for downtown El Cajon that includes redesigning the pond and waterfalls in front of City Hall. The next step in the project would include the area around the El Cajon library and Ronald Reagan Community Center, he said.
After the workshop session, the City Council approved a $155,000 agreement with Caughey's firm to design the changes for the City Hall water features as part of the larger downtown renovation project.
Because of the drought and maintenance issues, city officials are planning to remove a duck pond in front of City Hall and replace it with benches, tables and shade structures.
David Cooksy, El Cajon's director of redevelopment and housing, said money for the Prescott Promenade improvements has been set aside in the city's redevelopment budget for several years.
Councilman Bob McClellan questioned whether the redevelopment money would be better spent on converting apartments to condominiums for affordable housing, one of his pet projects.
"We have to decide where we want to spend our money," he said.
Councilman Bill Wells also said he wasn't sure whether he would approve spending money on Prescott Promenade.
"I'm skeptical of spending a lot of money on more improvements," he said after the workshop meeting.
Rob Turner, director of public works for El Cajon, said city officials would be talking to downtown merchants to see how they feel about the proposed improvements at the park. If approved, work would probably begin early next year, he said.

m. 7 May 1724
m. 3 Feb 1779/1780
Facts and Events
An compelling conjecture has been made for this James being the son of John Jackson of Morris County, NJ who removed to North Carolina after his forge was sold at Sheriff's Sale in 1753. But it is stressed that as of September 2008, the relationship of James born in Morris County NJ and James living in Wilkes Co., NC has not been documented. Results of a DNA study have indicated that James of Wilkes/Ashe County is a descendant of Col. John Jackson but does not indicate the exact branch. A study of the analysis and conclusions about James has been posted for your consideration here (scroll down):
James Jackson's Will 1826 was provided by Janeen Proctor:
Ashe County, North Carolina Will Book A, Page 82
In the name of God amen, I, James Jackson of the County of Ashe and State of North Carolina, being of health of body and of perfect mind and memory thanks be given unto God calling unto mind the immortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for me once to die, do make and ordain this my last Will and Testament that is to say principally and first of all I give and recommend my soul into the hand of Almighty God that gave it and my body I recommend to the earth to be buried in decent Christian burial at the discretion of my executors nothing doubting but at the great resurrection I shall receive the same again by the mighty power of God. And as touching such worldly estate where with it has pleased God to bless me in this life I give, devise and dispose of the same in the following manner and form.
First I give and becueath to my dear beloved wife Abigill Jackson one hundred acres of land that I now live on. Beginning on John Brown's line running east. Also I observe the 100 acres of land that I give to my wife Abigill is for her to live on her lifetime, then it is to be John Jackson's with all appertainances. I also give to my wife Abigill all the stock and working tools of every sort with household furniture. I also give to my son James Jackson Two Dollars, having had his part of estate. Mary Jackson debtor ten dollars, Benjamin Jackson debtor 18 dollars, Ebenezer Jackson has had nothing, Daniel Jackson debtor forty dollars, Jesse Jackson debtor forty dollars, Isaac Jackson debtor $130.00, John Jackson debtor $60.00.

(if there was more, it was not available on my copy, Janie)
James Jackson and many of his associates are mentioned in the book "A History of Watauga County, North Carolina" by John Preston Arthur, first published in 1915, republished in 2002 and available at ancestry.com: http://content.ancestry.com/browse/bookview.aspx?dbid=30007&iid=dvm_LocHist013627-00139-1
"Although Watauga County, North Carolina, was not established until 1849 from the existing counties of Ashe, Wilkes, Caldwell, and Yancey in northwestern North Carolina, "all of Watauga County on the waters of Watauga River was once a part...of the famous and immortal Old Watauga Settlement of Sevier . . . ." In his History of Watauga County, North Carolina, John Preston Arthur provides an invaluable study of the origins and early settlers of this area rich in genealogical history.
Chapter XIII, pg 207: "Jonathan Buck . . . Richard Green . . . All these people had been members of the Jersey Settlement, as had also been James Tompkins and James Jackson, and afterwards became members of Three Forks Church. The grant of 640 acres of land at this place to William Miller bears date May 1787, and it was doubtless entered some time before. Tompkins' name still adheres to one of the knobs near Deep Gap, and the Jackson Meeting House on Meat Camp Creek will keep his memory alive for years yet to come, for it was the first school house built in this section." http://content.ancestry.com/Browse/BookView.aspx?dbid=30007&pageno=207
Chapter XIV, Pg 231: "Meat Camp.---This was one of the first places to be settled in Ashe County, William Miller, the Blackburns and James Jackson going there from the Jersey Settlement as early as 1799, while Ebenezer Fairchild, of the same colony, settled on Howard's Creek, only a short distance away. Jackson's grave is still pointed out in the woods near the site of the old Jackson Meeting House, while the cabin of an old hunter named Abbey stood in what is now the garden of John C. Moretz." http://content.ancestry.com/Browse/BookView.aspx?dbid=30007&pageno=231
Pg 322a: "There is also a tradition that the Greens were members of the Jersey Settlement, and that James Jackson, William Miller, the three Bucks, Tompkins and Horton himself were members of the Jersey Settlement. They were all members of the Three Forks Church between 1790 and 1800 . . ." http://content.ancestry.com/Browse/BookView.aspx?dbid=30007&pageno=322a
Chapter IX, pg 106, 107: "Methodism began in this county about 1809 when an itinerant minister, whose name is forgotten . . . This unnamed pioneer in Methodism is said to have stopped first at the home of Gwyn Houck on Old Fields Creek, next at Risden Cooper's on Cranberry, then at James Jackson's on the ridge between Grassy Creek and Meat Camp . . . James Jackson was so much interested in the necessity for some edifice in which all the people might come and worship, go to school or discuss public affairs, that he conveyed to Edmund Blackburn, a brother of Levi, David Miller and Ephraim and William Norris, as trustees, a tract of land for a school house, meeting house or church, as was desired by those using it, to be open at all times to all alike. It was at this house that the first Methodist preacher first preached, but his name has been forgotten. Levi Blackburn lived near Jackson Meeting House at that time . . ."
1741: Pg 88: By May 1741, Bladen County issued deeds on the Great Peedee (Yadkin). It was no accident that the Hopewell group chose its north bank to found their "Jersey Settlement," an area described as: "Ten square miles of the best wheat land in the south, located in (modern) Davidson County, near Linwood. It was composed of many people from New Jersey who had sent an agent there to locate and enter the best land still open to settlement."
Copied from http://www.tamu.edu/ccbn/dewitt/mckstmerjersey.htm Origins of the Jersey Settlement of Rowan Co., NC by Ethel Stroupe 1996
"About 1745, the New Jersey group (perhaps a dozen or more families) left Back Creek in a wagon train bound for the Yadkin. Based on events after arrival, their leaders were probably Jonathan Hunt and Thomas Smith, but they were almost surely guided by the famous "Waggoneer" and explorer, Morgan Bryan who guided other groups to this general area, and in 1748 brought his own family from the Opequon to form Morgan's Settlement on the south bank of Deep Creek, four miles above the "Shallow Ford" of the Yadkin. [Robert W. Ramsey, Carolina Cradle, Settlement of the Northwest Carolina Frontier, 1747-1762; (U.N.C. Press, 1964; 4th printing 1987), p. 31].
"So began the River Settlements, best reached from the north via an old Indian warpath, widened and renamed The Yading Path. About 1745/6 Thomas Smith received land on Swearing Creek, but his Bladen deed is missing (as are many others.). At age 71, on September 29, 1748, Smith was at Newburn with men from other western communities, petitioning the North Carolina Assembly to form Anson County, because they had to travel over a hundred miles to Bladen court house."
1747 - 1755: The NJ settlers arrived (at Jersey Settlement) from 1747-1755. 400 families arrived abt 1752 Among the many families in this settlement are James Jackson, William Jackson, Ebenezer Fairchild and James Tompkins (Wm's brother-in-law).
1749 Anson County, NC formed. It is thought that Stephen Jackson and his brother Benjamin settled in eastern North Carolina and eventually moved to Anson County. Stephen and Benjamin are brothers of William's father, Joseph, making them William's Uncles. William's Uncle John 1701 and his son John 1733 also are known to have come to NC and probably came at the same time. Uncle John 1701 had another son, James 1746 who is a very likely candidate to be the James that is found with William in Wilkes County. It is probable that they came south together but I have not found records to prove that yet.
North Carolina Land Grants, No. 335, 30 Sep 1749. Gabriel Johnston, governor of North Carolina, to Benjamin Jackson, 200 acres in Anson County. (James is a conjectured nephew of Benjamin Jackson.)
1753 Rowan formed from Anson County. Jersey Settlement is now in Rowan Co.
1759 North Carolina Land Grants, No. 1388, 6 Mar 1759, South West Pee Dee, to Stephen Jackson (James is a conjectured nephew of Stephen Jackson.)
1751 Ebenezer Fairchild is 21 yrs old and married in Morristown, Morris, NJ 1751 Fairchild, Sarah, Ebenezer's first child is born, Morris Co NJ 1753 Rowan formed from Anson County. The Jersey Settlement people who lived in Bladen/Anson Co now live in Rowan Co. 1753 Fairchild, Stephen Morris Co NJ 1755 Fairchild, Mehitable Morris Co NJ 1757 Fairchild, Salome Morris Co NJ 1759 Fairchild, Abigail Morris Co NJ (married James Jackson 1779, Wilkes Co NC) 1761 Fairchild, Ann Morris Co NJ 1762 Fairchild, Abiud Westmoreland Co, VA (married Rebecca Jackson) 1763 Fairchild, Abijah Wilkes Co NC 1767 Fairchild, Cyrus Susex Co, NJ
This gives a good estimate of when Ebenezer finally brought his family to the Jersey Settlement. The above dates gathered from various rootsweb charts; I can't guarantee their accuracy.
1772: The following copied from <http://www.surnameguide.com/hook/vannoy_genealogy.htm> Author not given.This is of interest because it gives the motivation for folks leaving the area surrounding the Jersey Settlement and 'fleeing to the mountains that became Wilkes and Ashe Counties'."John Vannoy, b. about 1716; d. about 1778. According to his grandson, Andrew, son of Nathaniel, he m. Susanna Anderson. He moved into Rowan Co., N. C., about 1748 and settled at the mouth of Lick Creek which empties into the Yadkin River near the old Vannoy Fish Dam in what is now Davidson Co., N. C. The first record of him in this vicinity was made by the Rev. Hugh McAlden, a pioneer Baptist preacher, who stated in his diary that he spent the night at the John Vannoy home on the Yadkin River, Sept. 3, 1755. The family lived here until 1772, when, terrorized by the troops of Governor Tryon, which pillaged and destroyed the settlements along the Yadkin River after Alamance, they fled to the mountains in what later became Wilkes and Ashe Counties where some of their children settled and raised families. Both John and Susannah were devoted to the Baptist Church and identified with the great religious revival which that church, through George McNiel and John Gano, was introducing throughout southern Virginia and the Yadkin Valley in North Carolina."
1772: Eaton Church was organized October 5, 1772, with ten members, viz., Elder William Cook, James Tompkins, Ebenezer Fairchild, Abraham and Triphena Adams, Thomas Easteb, Susanna Easteb, David Reavis, Jemima Reavis, and Jesse Reavis. Also Mary Easteb, Elizabeth Tompkins and Veara Bra. At this point in research, this is the earliest record proving James Tompkins and Ebenezer Fairchild were in NC by this time. But histories of the area say that James Jackson was also part of this same group of folks from the Jersey Settlement.
1776 - 1781 Revolutionary War
1778 Wilkes was formed in 1777 from Surry and the District of Washington and a Land Office opened in Wilkes County, North Carolina. The act was to become effective February 15, 1778. When the county was formed all landowners were required to put their ownership on record even tho they may have been living on it for some time. This must be what is meant by James 'entered' 2 parcels in note below. Note:1778 May and Sept. James Tompkins 'entered' 2 parcels land in Wilkes Co, NC. (James Tompkins is married to Elizabeth Jackson, a first cousin of James Jackson.)
James married Abigail Fairchild 3 Feb 1779 in Wilkes Co., NC. So James was abt 29-33 years old when he married if his birth date is correct.
1786 Following are Wilkes County land grants that were issued to James Jackson and a William Jackson in 1786, but which were not recorded until 1788. The grants were for land in the area of Lewis Fork of the Yadkin River.
10 July 1788 Wilkes Co land grants entered:
A) James Jackson (File #832) rec'd grant 829 for 100A on both sides of So. Fork of Lewis Fork adjoining Geo Elmore. Based on warrant/entry #306 dated 4 May 1779. Grant recorded in Bk 66, pg 392. Chain carriers: Moses Tompkins & Ebenezer Fairchild, surv: Jos. Herndon. E24 (Descendant of James Jackson participant in Jackson DNA project; 67 marker test results show James is related to the Hempstead line of Jacksons, descendant of John Jackson and Elizabeth Seaman, but no specific branch of their descendants indicated.)
B) James Jackson (File #1193) rec'd grant 1357 dated 17 Oct 1796 for 100A on Meat Camp Creek, waters of New River joining his other entry adjoining ; ; ; Based on warrant/entry #1997 dated 25 Jun 1795.

C) James Jackson (File #1477.5) rec'd grant 1638 dated 5 Dec 1798 for 200A on both sides of Meet Camp Creek, waters of New River adjoining ; ; ; Based on warrant/entry #1111 dated 2 Jan 1796. Grant recorded in Bk 100, pg 42. Chain carriers: Benjamin Tompkins & James Jackson, Jr.; surveyor Hi'm Roussau. E28
D) James Jackson (File #1478.5) rec'd grant 1639 dated 5 Dec 1798 for 100A on both sides of New River adjoining ; ; ; Based on warrant/entry #1635 dated 4 Jan 1796. Grant recorded in Bk 100, pg 42. Chain carriers: Benjamine Tompkins & James Jackson, Jr.; surveyor Hi'm Roussau. E29
E) James Jackson (File #1480.5) rec'd grant 1641 dated 5 Dec 1798 for 100A on both sides of Meet Camp Creek, adjoining John Brown; ; ; Based on warrant/entry #6014 dated 4 Jan 1796. Grant recorded in Bk 100, pg 43. Chain carriers: Benjamin Tompkins & James Jackson, Jr.; surveyor H. Roussau. E29
F) James Jackson (File #1497.5) rec'd grant 1658 dated 5 Dec 1798 for 200A on both sides of Meeting House Branch near the ford and of Meet Camp Creek adjoining ; ; ; Based on warrant/entry 182 dated 2 Dec 1793. Recorded in Bk 100, pg 52. Chain carriers: Benj. Tompkins and James Jackson, Jr., surveyor H. Roussau (Hillair (or maybe Hiram) Roussau from E45) E30
G) Samuel Castle rec'd grant 852 for 200A on both sides of So Fork of Lewises Fork beginning at the edge of a swamp on South side of Creek adjacent to John Lipps; ; ; Based on warrant/entry #209 dated 23 Aug 1779. Recorded in Bk 66, pg 396. Chain carriers: John Lipps & Wm. Jackson; surveyor Jos. Herndon. E25
All this to show the close relationships between the various Jacksons, Tompkins & Lipps.

In 1790 Ashe County had not yet been organized and the area that became Ashe County was still Wilkes Co. So both James Sr. and James Jr. are counted in 1790 in Wilkes and in 1800 in Ashe; but it was the county lines that moved - not the families. (James Tompkins is also in Ashe Co in 1800.)
1790: The following record taken from the NC 1790 Census Morgan District, 3rd Company showing both James Jackson and a William Jackson together with other close neighbors:
Profit, Sylvester
1790 Census
Jas Jackson is listed with one male over 16, four male less than 16 and two free white females.
1790: The Three Forks Baptist Church in Wilkes Co, NC was organized on 6 Nov 1790. Membership from 1790-1800 included the following: Ebenezer Fairchild, Mary Fairchild, Rebakah Fairchild, Susannah Fairchild, James Jackson, James Jackson, Jr., James Tompkins, Elizabeth Tompkins, Ruth (Garsham's wife) Tompkins, William Tompkins, Garsham Tompkins, Joseph Tompkins, Benjamin Tompkins and others.
1795, James Jackson is excommunicated from the church but is restored shortly there after. (History of Watauga County, John Preston Arthur, 1915, pg 71, <http://www.maprealtyboone.com/real_estate/real_estate_watauga_2.html>
Copied from http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/8473/Arthur/ch6.html:
1794 From Goodspeed's History of Johnson County(TN): <http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnjohnso/jcchurch.html>
"The first church organized in the county was known as Roane Creek Baptist Church, constituted on April 20, 1794. Benjamin Brown was chosen moderator, William Jackson clerk and George Brown elder. At the next meeting in May George Brown, Stephen Wheeler, Benjamin Brown, Joseph Gentry, John Grimes, John Asher and William Jackson were also appointed to sit, as the church, at Mr. Loyd's, to receive members, on the second Saturday in June. Among the first members mentioned were Benjamin Cuthbert, Reuben and John Asher, Jacob Perkins, John and William Brown, Stephen Gentry, Joseph Tompkins, William Clark, William Pembleton, James Parsons, John Mullins, John Smith, Benjamin Sewell, Hezekiah Boone, Samuel Cole, Thomas Thornton and Joseph* and John Jackson*. To them should be added about thirty-five names of female members belonging to the families of the above men, making an aggregate membership of about sixty-five. This church then included all the Baptists in Johnson County, and some from the contiguous territory. . . The first pastor was James Tompkins, installed in 1797."
1806 and 1807 Court of Pleas and Quarter Session
James Jackson administrator of Ebenezer Fairchild deceased makes a return amounting to the sum of L432/10/11 makes the sum of the property sold by the administrator.
1807 Ordered by the court that Daniel Eggers, Senr, Daniel Eggers, Junr., James Jackson, Isaac Green, Jno. Northern, Anthony Reece, Jno. Norris, Ephraim Norris, Senr., Ephraiom Norris, Junr., John Coleman, Joseph Morphew, Joseph Brown, David Miller, John Brown, Philip Church, James Morris, James Prophet, Landrine Eggers be a jury to view and lay off a road from the turnpike road by Ephraim Norris and into the turnpike road again likewise from the [blank] to the indian graves on Meat Camp.
1800 Ashe Co NC Census has three James Jacksons:
IF our James Jr who m Martha Chambers was born in 1780 he would have to be #1 above right?? age abt 20
So we still don't know who the 3rd one is - even tho he is marked JR. (Jr then did not have to mean s/o, it could have just meant the younger man) And the 2nd man over 45 (in 1st district) in 1790 does not appear in the Ashe Co census.

One essential thing that you must keep in mind is that do not go for compatible batteries. For instance, if your laptop is of Dell and you are buying a battery that though suits the requirements yet is not of Dell brand then avoid purchasing that one as it may harm your system or laptop.

Episode to Feature Highlights From the 24-Episode Series
See the Photo Gallery
This past summer, eight struggling actors vied for the coveted 13-week role on AS THE WORLD TURNS as the Internet audience watched the drama and competition unfold on the web-exclusive reality series INTURN (http://www.cbs.com/inntertube). Now, for the first time, an online series will be seen on the Network when a one-hour compilation episode of INTURN is broadcast Friday, Nov. 24 (12:30-1:30 ET/3:00-4:00 PT) on the CBS Television Network. The special episode of INTURN will feature highlights that include the most dramatic, funny and emotional moments from the 24-episodes seen on CBS.com's innertube.
INTURN followed eight participants as they moved into a loft in Brooklyn, N.Y. and underwent a series of tryouts, such as screen tests, cold readings and awkward prop challenges that ultimately led to five contestants being voted out by a group of judges. The three remaining contestants were written into the show as characters on AS THE WORLD TURNS. After each InTurn's appearance on ATWT, viewers across America voted online for their favorite finalist and chose the winner of the coveted 13-week role. The winner was Alex Charak, 18, of Roslyn Heights, N.Y. He began appearing on AS THE WORLD TURNS in late September as "Elwood Hoffman," the college roommate of "Casey Hughes" (played by Zach Roerig).
The original eight participants are:
Javier Armenteros, 25 Alex Charak, 18
Hometown: Miami, Fl Hometown: Roslyn Heights, N.Y.
Geneva Hyman, 21 Janal Montagna, 19
Hometown: Hartsville, S.C Hometown: Plymouth, Mass.
Ian Novick, 23 Megan O'Keefe,21
Hometown: Hayama, Japan Hometown: Villa Hills, Ky.
Justin Stiver, 20 Marjorie Thomas, 24
Hometown: Germantown, Ohio Hometown: West Palm Beach, Fla.
The AS THE WORLD TURNS actors who judged challenges and offered advice include Alexandra Chando ("Maddie Coleman"), Terri Colombino ("Katie Peretti"), Trent Dawson ("Henry Coleman"), Ellen Dolan ("Margo Hughes"), Van Hansis ("Luke Snyder"), Scott Holmes ("Tom Hughes"), Paul Leyden ("Simon Frasier"), Michael Park ("Jack Snyder"), Colleen Zenk Pinter ("Barbara Ryan"), Zach Roerig ("Casey Hughes"), Jesse Lee Soffer ("Will Munson") and Marie Wilson ("Meg Snyder").
INTURN was conceived as a companion show to AS THE WORLD TURNS and is executive produced by Christopher Goutman, also executive producer of the daytime drama. It is produced by New York-based production company Leftfield Pictures.

It's all hugs and kisses with the NBC affiliates now that they've cleaned the blood of The Jay Leno Show off their hands. Appropriately pacified, now they'll presumably let the Comcast acquisition go through without hassling the process.
Both NBC and its affiliates board spoke positively of their annual meeting in New York today (Jan. 21), saying both parties are happy to move ahead after the recent Jay Leno-Conan O'Brien drama and work together on issues such as retransmission consent.
NBC affiliates board chairman Michael Fiorile said the board-and, presumably, most of the affiliate body-is looking forward to seeing Jay Leno back in his old Tonight Show role. "I think everybody's pretty happy about that," he said. "NBC went ahead and made the decision and made it quickly, and we're appreciative."
via Broadcasting & Cable.
I will not be surprised at all if the newly Comcast led NBCU puts the screws to them once the deal is done. Here's an imaginary Steve Burke (Comcast COO) quote after today's meetings "How nice that the folks in Wichita have agreed to let us run our business again".

Believe it or not, Beyonce's feet have gotten a bad rap lately. (And her legs, too.)
As another example:
Beyonce is taking a page from Britney Spears' book by walking around town — in public — barefoot these days. (Here's what they're referring to.)
But… word is, Beyonce feels sexiest with bare feet and messy hair.
I like to walk around my house with bare feet and messy hair, but that can be sexy, too. I have an old-fashioned view on sexuality, in that I don't think it should be in your face. It's the opposite of who I am on stage. Source
Since a lot of people have been looking for Beyonce Knowles feet pictures here (thanks to this article), I thought I'd share with you my best collection of Beyonce feet…
Pictures of Beyonce's Feet
- Here are over 80 pictures of Beyonce Knowles, including many of her very fashionable feet.
- Check out this full-body (very sexy) close-up of Beyonce (…including her right foot, in heels).
- Here's a zoomed-in closeup of Beyonce's feet at the premiere of The Pink Panther. Okay, so maybe Beyonce's feet aren't always in tip-top shape (…even though Beyonce loves wrapping her feet in "Cashmere by Dremu").

Gingrich Courts Asian Voters in Koreatown
Presidentital hopeful Newt Gingrich held a forum in Koreatown Thursday morning, discussing his caution with the North Korean regime and President Obama's presidency.
The former Speaker voiced his proposed strategy for dealing with the instability of the North Korean regime, saying, "You have in North Korea this strange combination of a medieval kingdom with a theocracy with a world view that it preaches so relentlessly that people who do escape are shocked when they get to the outer world."
He said that the U.S.'s approach to North Korea should be cautious so as to avoid provoking the regime's military retaliation.
Criticizing President Obama for weakening the military and not handling the budget, Gingrich wants to decrease the leverage that China holds on the U.S.
"Well I hope to leave with affection, fond memories, and money. All those things coming together," Gingrich concluded when asked what he hoped to accomplish in Los Angeles.
After Gingrich's speech, one Korean-American Republican voter commented, "I'm still watching all the debates and following all the issues and their opinions and proposals. What I heard today was very positive. So I'll consider that as well. But I'll probably wait until the primary is over until I make up my mind."
Gingrich managed to raise $2 million dollars while in California.

NEW YORK (AP) — Did retailers shoot themselves in the foot?
U.S. retailers offered holiday discounts in early November and opened stores on Thanksgiving Day to attract more shoppers. Those tactics drew bigger crowds, but they didn't motivate Americans to spend.
A record 141 million people are expected to shop in stores and online over the four-day Thanksgiving weekend that ends Sunday, up from last year's 137 million, according to a survey conducted for The National Retail Federation.
But total spending is expected to fall for the first time ever since the retail group started tracking it in 2006. Over the four-day weekend, spending is estimated to reach $57.4 billion, down 2.9 percent from last year.
The group says earlier discounts led Americans to shop before the weekend and be more cautious about spending.

The British government has designed a special fund to support agri-businesses and universities to bridge the gap between lab research and the marketplace.
The government funding comes from the 70-million-pound (115-million-U.S. dollar) Agri-Tech Catalyst" program announced last year, said the British Department for International Development (DFID).
As part of the British Industrial Strategy for Agricultural Technologies, the million-worth program including an urban farm and spin-outs from various universities in the country will share the funding from the government and industry to develop their innovative business ideas, the DFID said.
"This funding will make a real difference in bringing innovative ideas from the lab to the marketplace," British Universities and Science Minister David Willetts said.
Some of the projects financed by the fund will look into new farming techniques, such as cultivation of seaweed, and focus on solving problems affecting farmers, including tackling a cattle disease that currently costs the dairy industry over 200 million pounds a year, according to the DFID.
Launched in October 2013, the "Agri-Tech Catalyst" program supports industry-led development of near-market agricultural innovations.
The 70-million-pound government investment includes 10 million pounds to support the transfer of technology and new products to developing countries, according to the DFID.

For those who got a Motorola Xoom, you will be happy to know, that it is available for the LTE upgrade within 90 days. The Motorola Xoom is a 3G Android Honeycomb tablet and many have waited for the LTE upgrade.
The downside? You will have to ship your Xoom in for the upgrade and be without it for about a week. Motorola wanted to get the Xoom out as quick as possible and in doing so, had to put the Flash 10.1 and the 4G LTE chipset on hold. By sending in your Xoom, these two things will be installed.
The above photos show you how to package up your Motorola Xoom and ship it in, free of charge, by using a FedEx package.

Bush came out for reporters in Austin at noon Wednesday to give Dick Cheney a medical thumbs-up and deliver a folksy version of James Baker's speech from the night before. "Make no mistake, the court rewrote the laws," Bush said. "It changed the rules and it did so after the election was over." He hinted at the constitutional challenge and the legislative one. He called on Al Gore to help him urge that military overseas ballots be generously counted. He even braved a few questions afterward, deferring all matters legal to Baker down in Tallahassee.
He also indicated there was not going to be any surrender of one inch of ground not to the courts, not to Al Gore. Not even to the reality that the rules of the game have changed, no matter if Bush ever finds a way to change them back.
Will Bush Have a Case Come Monday?
"I believe if there is a fair and accurate count of the votes in Florida, we will prevail," Bush said. But if the current hand counts go on, "there will be no fair and accurate result." The implication is familiar: Florida already counted, twice, and Bush already won, twice. But time, politics and an activist court are fast putting those victories in the rear-view mirror. Where does that leave Bush?
Fighting for military ballots and against dimples every step of the way from now until Sunday. Win on the numbers then, and they've got a Monday-morning case for Gore to quit. Lose, and they can go back to court, to the U.S. Supremes, to the Florida legislature.
But what if Monday morning is the day America finally gets impatient? Gore, upon whom party pressure to concede has been strongest (and who, as a former Washington senator himself, heeds it the most) is the now the candidate most in touch with his sense of finality. If on Tuesday night he began clearing the way for a magnanimous victory, he was also clearing the way for a graceful defeat.
Gore Hopes He Has Good-Looking Dimples
"I don't know what those ballots will show," Gore said. "I don't know whether Governor Bush or I will prevail. But we do know that our democracy is the winner tonight."
"Dimpled chad" are two words Gore has never uttered in public, and therein lies the wiggle room. He can let the Democratic canvassing boards do their best for him, and turn superlawyer Boies loose on Harris and the paper pregnancies. And by Monday, he can loudly credit democracy and justice with either his triumph or his demise, depending on the numbers and the mood of Democrats on the Hill.
Thanks to an activist court, some political ironies and an extraordinary election that was bound to change some rules mid-game, Bush's options are considerably narrower. If he wins on the hanging chads, he can demand a concession. If he loses on the dimples, he'll have to either make himself a liar by surrendering or make himself a nuisance by fighting a scorched-earth war into December.
