In Motion
While I lay under the stars last night enjoying the beautiful back country of Gold Butte, I couldn't help but feel a peace that can only come while sitting among the hills and sage. It was a beautiful night. There wasn't a hint of a breeze, nor a trace of a cloud and the moon was hours from peaking over the Grand Wash Cliffs so the stars were dense and brilliant. Laying in my bed roll next to my boys in the back of my truck, it would have been hard to feel any more still, however the shutter on my camera tells a different story. It reminded me that things are always in motion.
With the shutter wide open for much of the night my camera captured the motion of the night sky with the star trails glittering by. It is the same with the political landscape of Gold Butte as well. Last week on February 10, 2015 Dina Titus introduced legislation to designate Gold Butte as an NCA. Albeit that is is not the first, second or third time this bill has been introduced it still muddies the waters and undercuts anything positive that could be done for public lands in Southern Nevada.
These bills are not what they seem. It is easy to read into the rhetoric and get caught up in the feel good hook that these wilderness bills convey. The hidden barb that sinks in after these bills get passed are the stories, the history and the landscape that gets swept clean to create a landscape to fit this agenda. These bills are unable to encompass a wide enough perspective to capture a complete picture of our public lands and the stories they hold. Instead they focus on one point in time and disregard any evidence that detracts from this one vantage. It is my history, one of cattle ranching, mining and pioneering that often gets swept aside.
As I travel the back roads of Gold Butte the history emanates from the hills and springs, corrals and mines. There is a story of many people who have passed through this country. It is not a simple landscape that can fit within a narrow agenda nor be captured by a philosophy watered down by money and ego. I will continue to work for protection with access for our public lands and work to conserve every aspect of history that has played out on our public lands.
H.R. 856: To establish the Gold Butte National Conservation Area in Clark County, Nevada, in order to conserve, protect, and enhance the cultural, archaeological, natural, wilderness, scientific, geological, historical, biological, wildlife, educational, and scenic resources of the area, to designate wilderness areas, and for other purposes.

My RMP Request
This letter is in regards to the proposed RMP for the Southern Nevada.
I appreciate that you have extended the amount of time that you gave the public to comment on the RMP proposals however the real problem is not the length of the comment period but the content. The proposed RMP does not include a proposal that is acceptable to a better part of Nevada residents and those who enjoy public lands. The proposed RMP sets a path that will drastically alter how the citizens of this beautiful country interact with public lands in Southern Nevada.
What is needed is for the BLM to suspend the comment period while a new practical proposal for Nevadans is created. The public and specifically those communities surrounded by public lands need a better alternative that encompass our uses and perpetuates the multiple-use landscape within Nevada.
In the book Physics and Philosophy by Werner Heisenberg he states, "What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning." What you, as the BLM have created are proposals in response to your method of questioning, leaving the residents and communities of Nevada obscured. The agency has employed tools that present only a myopic view of public lands while turning a blind eye to many of its current and historic uses. This is done to implicitly limit our ability to comment. You cannot disagree with what has not been included and you can only comment on what's been included. You as the BLM have refused to expand your method of questioning to include the everyday citizens and how they interact with public lands and its resources. You as the BLM have taken years to gather information using a process designed to give you exactly the results you needed and then given but a fraction of time to comment on slanted and narrow proposals.
I request a deferment to the comment period while the BLM develops an alternative proposal that better reflects a multiple-use landscape which is representative of Nevada residents and its historic uses.

Hemmed In
The BLM is once again stirring up a storm. This time it is a bit more muted, while working to fly under the radar with their paper work but nonetheless, dramatic in its long term effects on Clark County.
Living in rural northeast Clark County, public lands are a part of all our lives. All of our communities are surrounded by these lands. Some of us own property that bound public managed land. Some of our livelihoods depend on access to our public lands and all of us depend on utilities to deliver electrical and water services that cross these lands and most of us recreate in one form or another on this government managed land. With so much dependency on these lands it would be assumed that both parties would be thoroughly involved in designing a management plan. However as precedent has proven, this is never the case.
The BLM has released their latest management proposals for the Southern Nevada region. These proposals include changing the status for over 250,000 acres of land. For residents of the Virgin and Moapa Valleys the impact hits close to home. The Mormon Mesa between the two valleys is greatly impacted, Gold Butte stands to take even further alterations as well as almost every other hill, valley, wash and mesa stands to get some designation or label of one kind or another.
The BLM has asked for the public to comment on their proposal and has given but a short window to do so. The closing date for comments is January 7, 2015. They are not asking for our feelings or how it will impact our lives but critical analysis down to the page and section that we think is faulty or where they have made flawed analysis. The irony of it all is that the document is heavy on fluff and light on substance and actual data to sink your teeth into. They don't even have decent maps by which the public can scrutinize what is happening in their back yard.
With the timeline given to review the documents the BLM is in essence saying "trust us". However this is a hard pill to swallow since all the agency has done since 1976 FLPMA is erode the relationship they once had will the people.
If the BLM doesn't even have the courage and decency to come out to the rural communities that they are hemming in with their latest proposal, then I think there should be and extension of time at least until they can come out and give detailed presentations on their plans with decent maps, the science behind their rationale and how this will directly impact the rural citizens of Clark County and all those who frequent the back country. They have said this proposal has taken them almost six years to produce, well I think at least a year to review the said documents accompanied by presentations to the communities and widely available maps with clear information should be the least they can do.
The BLM's latest proposal to so narrowly manage our public lands clearly, reveals that this agency is disoriented and adrift, readily succumbing to the political breeze spilling over the Potomac.

Out and About Sensing - Citizen Science Part II
Since I wrote my last post about my Arduino projects I have learned a lot. I released my first project into the wild the night of the huge rain storm we had in September when north east Clark County experienced some intense flooding. On that weather station, which the boys and I call DRASTIC, I was logging humidity, temperature, light, time and soil moisture. I was able to make readings for a while and capture some interesting data, however I found out the hard way that my system was not water tight. After about 21 hours of capturing data I shorted out one of the circuits and stopped capturing data.
This is the graph of our sensors the night of the big rain storm. You can see my system biffed it in the morning but we still managed to capture some interesting data.
This was the afternoon after the big flood and there was still a lot of water draining off Mormon Mesa.
We also found this guy while we were out checking our Arduino system on Mormon Mesa.
Since that time I have been building and testing more sensors to capture even more data with the Arduino system. One of the sensors that I have built and tested over the last month is a soil temperature monitor that captures data at 3, 6 and 12 inches below the soil.
the boys and I out checking on the system
Another one of the areas I have been experimenting with is utilizing solar panels and rechargeable batteries to power the Arduino system. I can successfully run the Arduino system of my solar panels and record the data but during the low light and the night I am out of order. Since the nighttime is a time of activity in the desert and the low light conditions like a storm is when I really would like to be capturing data this is less than ideal. Because of this I have tried to wire up rechargeable AA batteries within the electrical system to store the needed energy. So far I have been able to extend the operating life of the Arduino system into the night for a while but I have not yet been able to make it through the night. This setup is still vulnerable through an extended weather even with heavy cloud cover for multiple days so there is still testing and experiments left to go. One of the requirements for my system is that it remains as small, light and cheap as possible. I know through larger batteries I could extend the life but once this system is built it will be deployed out in the hills so I want it to remain small.
Another of the huge breakthroughs that I have been able to make is to run my Arduino system off of AA batteries for an extended period of time. Out of the box the Arduino system will only run for approximately 6 hours off of 4 AA batteries. However through a series of articles on the web and countless hours of testing I was able to tweak the code to shut down the Arduino between readings and wake up on a timer interrupt. This will be huge. I hope to take this enhancement and tie it together with what I have learned from the solar recharging experiments and tie it together so I can run my device, I hope, indefinitely.
With all that I have learned and built over the last two months I hope to get my Arduino based weather\environmental monitor back out into the wild and start building a repository of data for North Eastern Clark County that I can then use for future experiments and analysis.
This is the barometric pressure as registered through our Arduino in mid November. This is one of the sensor we are incorporating into our system
One of the first projects I hope to do is start collecting data within some of the areas that have experienced wild fires within the Gold Butte region and start assembling the pieces for a larger scale analysis. I will continue to post updates on our projects.

Public Lands Day 2014 - Logandale Trails - Success
Public Lands Day 2014 at Logandale Trails was a success. We had great support from different groups like Vegas Valley 4-wheelers and Dunes and Trails as well as Scout Troops, local citizens, Moapa Valley Rotary Club and others. We had a good flow of people throughout the morning and early afternoon as people were able to come out and support the event. There was a lot of cumulative service hours given and a beautiful day to be out and about enjoying our public lands.
We started at 8:00 AM at the Logandale Trails, Trail-head with doughnuts and juice and a quick introduction and safety overview by Partners-In-Conservation. Then each group went out and performed different service projects. Many contributed to trash clean up around the trail-head and along the main trails within the Logandale Trails system.
After the main cleanup there was a lunch provided by Moapa Valley Rotary Club and a raffle.
Partners-In-Conservation appreciates the involvement and service by all those who were able to attend.
This event was originally planned for September but the rain and flooding that took place on that weekend forced required the event to be rescheduled.
Thanks to Elise of Partners-In-Conservation for her hard work.

DRASTIC - Citizen Science
I love the field of science. Since I was little I have loved to take things apart and try and figure out how they worked. I also love being outdoors and marvel at how nature works. In college I took these two interests and studied both the physical sciences along with computer science and technology. Lately there has been a movement that is being called Citizen Science. More and more people are getting involved in the study of the world around them. One of the contributing factors in this uptick in citizen science is the access to open-source hardware and software that allow people to build their own scientific equipment. My boys and I have jumped in headfirst into this movement and have started building our own weather \ sensor station. We call our device DRASTIC, Desert-Robotics-And-Science-Technology-Innovative-Charting.
Our device is built on the Arduino platform and includes a few sensors. The data that we are able to capture include temperature, humidity, light, and soil moisture. I am able to store this information on an SD card that hooks up to our Arduino device.
Today we deployed our device out in the field to gather information. With the impending storm we thought that is was a perfect weekend to start gathering data. For our first exercise we deployed DRASTIC out on the Mormon Mesa. With the impending storm and rain in the forecast we thought it would be an excellent opportunity to test out DRASTIC. We chose this spot for a few reasons; first it has similar geology, vegetation and soil to many areas out to Gold Butte. Second the Desert Research Institute (DRI) has a weather station in both Mesquite and Overton that provide good base data to compare my results against. The spot we chose is between these two stations so it will give us good control data to compare against.
One of the experiments that I hope to carry out is to compare the soil temperature and soil moisture of an area that has been burned against an area that has all the native vegetation. The picture below shows an area that I may carry one of my experiments out on in the Gold Butte region:
I will post the results of our first run and report back on our data collection efforts. We were racing to beat the storm so we could gather some data before it started raining:

Gaston teens collect pet food for animal shelter
Three teens put the needs of homeless dogs and cats ahead of birthday gifts, according to Gaston County police.
Authorities said twins Claire and Camille Weiss were planning their 13th birthday party and decided that instead of receiving gifts, they would help others. The sisters, students at Cramerton Middle School, chose the Gaston County Animal Shelter as the beneficiary.
With the help of friend Lucas Larrazabal, a student at Grier Middle School, they sent out birthday party invitations with a message, "In lieu of gifts, please bring a bag of dog or cat food for the Gaston County Animal Shelter."
The teens collected more than 700 pounds of food for dogs and cats to give to the animal shelter.
The pet food was collected at the March 14 birthday party.

text: Disney Cruise Report! Its just less than a week to go. I would have starting posting sooner, but there has been a lot to do and the last two months practically flew by! (I will try to add art/pictures soon, I'm still trying to finish packing/preparing!) It wasnt until Christmas when I started getting excited about our Disney Cruise, I found out it would be on the brand new ship, and the first (official) eastern Caribbean cruise! My parents were being amazing and paying for the trip, myself, my sister, my husband, our son, and of course my parents were all going to go together. We decided on an Eastern Caribbean trip, since my mum was concerned about traveling to Mexico right now. She has always wanted to go on a cruise, so we figured this was the best choice! So we booked Disneys Fantasy (first Eastern Caribbean) for April 21st 28th! Our Fantasy Bound Family Laurean (Me) Disney File & Lover of all things animated Survival Gear: Sketchbook(always), camera, mommy bag of holding, seasickness pills. I am looking forward to relaxing, be immersed in all things Disney, draw a lot and enjoy the Fantasy as much as possible. Our Dear Son (2.5 years) Lost Boy in training Survival Gear: Perry the platypus, blanket from his good friend Linus van Pelt, missing mouse ears will be getting a new pair on the ship, tiger carry on that doubles as a toddler rider. DS is extremely clever and has been known to break out of multiple childproofed areas & daycares I hope the Nursery can handle him! Adam (Husband) - the serious one who grew up! XD Survival Gear: Hawaiian Shirt (always wears these on vacation, sort of a tradition), sunglasses, hat that will probably be replaced by a new one by the end of the trip!, flipflops, and cigars. His plan is hang out by the pool & the buffet. Clive (my dad) - A knight and avid jouster in his youth, has been known to cause quite a ruckus at the good old Rose & Crown in Epcot, he loves golf, and keeps asking me if there are any ziplining to be had. (He ziplines now? @.@) I suspect hell be riding the AquaDuck for sure, not to mentioning hanging out at OGills Pub! Survival Gear: A cool looking hat, sunglasses & white clothing Ann (my mum) - Southern lady and socialite. She is an avid genealogist (aka dead people gossip), and has been my rock of support with DS. She particularly wants to hang out in Oh La La for drinks. Survival Gear: big hat, a purse, and probably her ipad. (Since dad got her one, she always seems to have it!) Mary (my sister) Rockstar & California roadie. She loves all things music and isnt a bad singer herself. Survival Gear: Ruby Red slippers, her ipad, her laptop, and an assortment of fabulous clothing. The hitch: My parents and sister have never been on a cruise before. So, I was volunteered to organize and get all the necessary information (which lead me to these amazing boards!) I am the quirky family member who seems to have knowledge in random bits of information, especially Disney, so this sort of thing has become expected of me. While my family has been on cruises before, we had never been on a Disney one. So, for the new year I was tracking the Fantasys building process and learning everything I could including Disboards! I found our cruise group thread, and I cannot stress enough how amazingly wonderful and cool everyone on our cruise has been! Our group which is on DIS boards & facebook, is so supportive and willing to offer information. They are all amazing people, and I am so lucky to be sailing with them! I highly recommend ANYONE taking a Disney cruise to check out your cruise meet! Right now, trying to finish my FE gifts.. @_@ My family is packed and ready, it's just assembling everything that has NOT yet backed and putting it in its proper place. @_@ When I get back I plan on posting everything I can! Because even though the Fantasy is a new ship, I've learned so much from reading other trip reports! Thankyou ahead of time for reading!

"Relive the magic!"
Wow, this is an amazing book. I love Harry Potter and the fandom. Melissa Anelli takes us on a nostalgic journey to those moments most important to Harry Potter fans. We go back to that happy and sad day when we learn the release date of the last Harry Potter book. We find out what it's like to tour with the Wizard Rock band, Harry and the Potters. We get reminded of the shipping wars and the Half Blood Prince interview with J K Rowling. But the book is so much more than that. When being taken back in time, Melissa doesn't just give us the fun stuff. We remember September 11, 2001 and our brave author comes face to face with someone trying so desperately hard to take away our books. You will cry and you will laugh. If you experienced any of this, then this is the book for you. And for the many us who've met her, whether online or in person, we know, she is awesome.
"Why not Ari Graynor or Natalie Moore ???"
Ari Graynor was great narrating City of Bones. Natalie Moore was amazing narrating City of Ashes and City of Glass. This book and the last two have suffered due to poor narration because someone is clearly star-struck. Just because you can act doesn't mean you can narrate. I couldn't tell who was talking half the time. No distinct voices for characters. AWFUL!!!!
Ari Graynor or Natalie Moore!! The originals!!!!
"This book did stuff to my heart."
There are books you don't like, books you like, books you love & then there are the books you fall completely in love with. The latter is where I'd place this book for me. Never have I come across a book so realistic yet captivating. I can see these characters so clearly in my mind. I can believe everything that's happening. Jonathan, Bobby, & Claire present an unconventional way of living that just felt so real to me. This book will not be for everyone but, you know, I kind of love that about it. The story stays strong from it's beginning to it's beautiful ending.
The audiobook itself is amazing. Read so perfectly by the four narrators.
"Based on TV show not the book"
So, I was nearly finished with this book when I started to get a bit confused. The events in this book are different from what we were told in the first Vampire Diaries book. Only to realize that this book is based off the TV series and not (as I thought) the book. It was still good though. And if you're a fan of the TV series then definitely check it out. I'm not sorry I read it, just confused. Enjoy. Also, Kevin T. Collins is a great narrator.
"refreshingly unique"
Beautiful Creatures was unlike any other book I've read. It had so many twists, turns, and surprises that it was impossible to guess anything right. Just when I think i've figured something out I get thrown a curve. And that is so refreshing. It's mind boggling in the best way. YA fantasy stories don't usually take place in the South, but this book was spot on. The audiobook was amazing. It was performed unlike any other audiobook I've heard. It comes complete with rain sounds, singing, & much more.
"For anyone who wants more 10th & Rose"
I loved this book. It was clever and fun with some very sweet moments between The Doctor and Rose. Besides who wouldn't want to hear David Tennant talk for nearly 2 & 1/2 hours? You don't have to worry about this story going against cannon or being unfaithful to the Doctor Who series. I too enjoyed the author interview at the end. I'm a huge Doctor Who fan and this was my first Doctor Who audiobook and I'm so glad I gave it a listen.
"Best VA book yet!"
I loved this book. Blood Promise bored me a bit but Spirit Bound more then made up for it. Full of surprises, twists, a love triangle & even a couple of cliffhangers. Rose Hathaway is a kick-butt narrator and Adrian Iashkov can make a girl swoon. You're left wanting the next (and last) book. The narrator was good, not as good as Khristine Hvam but good.
"I appreciate you Tiny Cooper!"
I can't even think of what to say that would be worthy enough for this book. It was amazing. It's funny, sad, and thought-provoking. A true to life coming of age tale about learning to be happy with who you are. If you want to discover a little about yourself and your relationships with the people around you or just want to laugh out loud then have a go.
"Rick Riordan does it again..."
I loved the Percy Jackson series so I knew this would be good. But I didn't know just how good it would be. Turns out it was full of surprises and twists that keeps you guessing until the very last page. Just like with the Percy Jackson series you get a refresher course in & learn more about mythology; this time Egyptian. Both Carter & Sadie Kane are fantastic main characters. Both strong and smart for their ages of 14 and 12 without being unrealistic. The Red Pyramid is not only captivating but hilarious too. You shut the book wanting more. This is definitely a book for all ages.
"A different kind of love story"
Shiver gives a fresh new take on the werewolf genre. It's a beautiful love story with a lovable hero and a strong independent heroine. It will make you laugh and oh yes, it will make you cry until the very last sentence. Maggie Stiefvater's writing shows that she's not afraid to make her story different from other stories. You'll understand what I mean by that when you begin to read Shiver.
"A story that will stay with you always"
It was brilliant, haunting, tragic and beautiful all at the same time. Unwind will keep you on your toes until the very last scene. If you're a fan of Scott Westerfeld's Uglies Series and Suzanne Collins Hunger Games Series then you will love this book. Luke Daniels is an amazing narrator with a voice that really draws you into Neal's wonderful book.

The iPhone 5S (AAPL +0.1%) will feature an "indestructible Liquidmetal case," thinks BGR's Jonathan S.

Liquidmetal (LQMT.OB +68.5%) shares have soared on the pink sheets thanks to the report. Geller also thinks (but doesn't elaborate as to why) the 5S might use sapphire cover glass; if true, that's a positive for GT Advanced (GTAT +0.4%), and an incremental negative for Gorilla Glass maker Corning (GLW -0.8%). Separately (take this one with a big spoonful of salt), Taiwan's Commercial Times reports the 5S may be delayed until year's end in order to support a 4.3" display.

Citing weak demand for the 9.7" iPad - he thinks this is likely "a sustained trend" as demand shifts to smaller/cheaper tablets - and a demand pause ahead of a refresh, Hargreaves is cutting his FQ3 (June quarter) iPad forecast to 15M units from 18.5M. He also thinks "the high end of the smartphone market is quickly becoming saturated," and has lowered FQ2 and FQ4 revenue/EPS estimates further below consensus. Hargreaves cut Apple to Sector Perform on Jan. 16, when shares were at $503. [View news story]

The fact you were offended by a profile name...that's what kills me.
Let the DV's flow.
Preparing for a little buckeye who will be born on Tuesday! My second child, but first boy.
Mine were just delivered yesterday morning, and I watched the 'Bama game last night in Blu-Ray...looks amazing..
In no way am I dismissing his career, but to rank him anywhere near the top tier of coaches is also silly.
But does an upset win, no matter how big, rank you with the best of the best college coaches around? No. Anyone can win, on any given day, that's the beauty of football. Two marquee wins, doesn't make you elite, or even in the top 10 of best coaches in the game.
First off, how do we consider Harbaugh in the top 3 coaches in the country behind Urban, and Saban? How can this be said? What stats are you basing this on? His best Stanford teams had Andrew Luck, then he left. He has never won a conference championship, he has never won a National championship, and his only big win of note in college is an Orange Bowl win. Okay, so he went to the Super Bowl in the NFL, but did he win? Nope. I understand UM fans can rank him that high, b/c hey they're all pretty delusional, however, I see Buckeye fans saying he's easily the #3 coach in the country, and I just cannot agree. He's not even in the ball park. Records matter. Just because you came from the NFL, where apparently losing Super Bowls makes you an elite coach in college, doesn't mean you are easily a top college coach. But hey, what do I know? I'm just a fan with my own opinion. Let the downvotes commence.
Of the many times I visited Ireland to see my grandparents, my favorite show over there is Mrs. Browns Boys. Its probably the funniest TV show I have ever seen. The fact that's in front of a studio audience, and the main character is so funny, he makes other actors laugh on TV..gotta love it.
You should just stop trying to justify your fuckery, and just accept that your a negative person, and this is why you were blocked.
The rule of the day kids...don't be a negative nancy.
He is a great kid. He has brought so much respect back to the Heisman only a month after winning it. He is a fatastic college quarterback, and I wish him the best at the next level. He truly understood what being a Heisman winner really meant. Its sad he had to go out the way he did (but it had to happen), you could see how much it hurt. I digress, good luck Mr. Mariota.
227 yards, go bucks!!
I call shenanigans
You specified nothing in your post about being excited for beating Alabama, but not the Sugar Bowl itself. I now get what your saying, however no where in your initial post do you separate the two. It initially looks like your lumping the win, in its entirety, into one post.
right across from the Circle K on Tiffin Ave. Next to Dietch's Brothers Ice Cream
I wish I could take away helmet stickers for stupid posts like this. I watched the celebration from the moment we won, to the trophy presentation, to the locker room dancing...seems like they were pretty stoked. They just beat the #1 team in the country, defied all odds, beat all of the years adversity, and proved everyone wrong...but your right, they didn't care..
If the kid wants to leave, let him. Its his decision where he wants to go to school. We win championships here in Columbus, and we beat TTUN (2 losses to them since 2001) if he doesn't want to be part of that, then I wish him the best. I cannot bad mouth a kid for going where he feels most comfortable. I am in no way saying he is leaving, but its his choice if he does.
I have a picture, but cannot upload it from mobile, so I will get it posted as soon as I get home from work.
As ESPN said it in the article..."Stuart won." He was an amazing person, and I will never ever forget the speech he gave at the ESPY's this year. He will be missed greatly! God Bless him and especially his family in this tough time.
are you still trolling? what are they saying?
and didn't bring back any reading material?!

2003 Jaguar S-Type Question: oil leak around spark plugs

Answer #1Jim Taddei June 16, 2011, 16:23Master
Oil in the spark plug tubes is commonly caused by leaking O-ring seals. These seals are replaced as part of a valve cover reseal. Please use the following link to find the cost to reseal the valve cover(s) on your 2003 S-Type Jaguar - https://repairpal.com/estimator?car_type_id=3592
Answer #2patrick mannion from Greg Solow's Engine Room, June 17, 2011, 11:49Master
Be very delicate and properly torque the valve cover hold down bolts the plastic covers can warp. I use Permatex gasket glue to make sure the gasket stay in the valve cover.

George Gibson Papers GG11-2 Two marbled-paper bound Copy books
George Gibson Papers GG/1/1-2: Two marbled-paper bound Copy books belonging to George Gibson (1804) and Jane Thompson (1845?) GG/2/1-22: The first section of Gibson's work is his large collection of poetry notebooks. However, Gibson clearly wrote more notebooks than have been obtained by the library. Consequently there is an inconsistency between the Library's numbering of the notebooks and Gibson's: GG/1/1 is No. 3rd for Gibson, and where other notebooks are missing, the numbers get even more out of synch GG/3/1: Small notebook with very fragile – almost disintegrated – bindings. Begins with 'A Letter to the Revrd Mr X Conserning the doctrine of Election' but continues with poems. GG/4/1: Small notebook containing a draft of a legal document; biblical quotes; poems. GG/5/1: Poetry connected to or pertaining to Gibson's acquaintances/friends. GG/6/1: Booklet of secular poetry with very fragile binding. GG/7/1-3: Booklets (collections) of religious poetry with very fragile binding. GG/8/1: Long religious poem: Adam and Eve, Job, and Sampson and Delilah. Incomplete. GG/9/1: Anti-Irish poem. 9½ sides long. GG/10/1: 'A Word' (anti-Protestant, Catholic printed declaration) and Gibson's response to it (80 sides long and incomplete). GG/11/1-9: Copies, drafts and sometimes original letters (Aug – Nov 1843), poems, song lyrics and addresses that Gibson wrote or gave. GG/12/1-3: Correspondence to Gibson; a letter from his cousin, a letter thanking Gibson for charity and a draft of an I.O.U. GG/1/1-2 GG/2/1 George Gibson's Cyphering Book. Longhoughton School. March 29 1804. G Gibson's Book Harlowhill (in the back inside leaf, is also referred to as George Gibson's Cyphering Book Longhoughton School June 21st 1804). Book is bound in a marbled cover with leather spine. Contains mostly mathematical problems, solutions and rules. Includes one short poem, 'On Heaven and Hell' which ponders the separate fates of holy children and non-holy. The poem is just past half way through the booklet. Also contains four lines: Distain bad action (x2) and Invent not a lie (x2) which are found about two- thirds of the way through the book. The notebook is of potential interest for those studying the history of education. It also contains much information about weights, measures and the value of money. Both the front and back inside covers are full of Gibson's doodles. GG/2/2 Jane Thompson Cyphering Book. Book is bound with green marbled paper. The first three leaves are very fragile. Jane Thompson's name is found at the bottom of the second and the seventh leaf. The notebook is notable for its lack of doodles which characterises the majority of Gibson's work, therefore giving credence to Thompson's claim of ownership. There is no evidence as to how Gibson gained it, or how it ended up in the George Gibson papers. Thompson is clearly of a younger generation to Gibson though; the date included with the second signature on the seventh leaf most probably reads 'Jane Thompson's Copy April 17th 1845. GG/2/1-22 GG/2/1 No. 3rd Poems: last stanzas (7&8) of narrative poem; 'An Eulogy wrote on the death of a famous old Ewe in the township of Rothbury'; 'Seremonie at Malie's funeral'; 'Epitaph for Maily'; last two stanzas of another Malie poem; 'The Ghaist' (part removed); 'A Hymn for New Years Day'; 'On Lying'; a love poem; 'The coach wheal a Fable'; 'Aplication'; 'The Peaceful Retreat'; 'An address to a mouse that I turned up with the plough on 2nd of January 1819'; 'An Evening Hymn'; 'To a thrush which I heard singing on the first day of January 1819'; 'The happy Bachelor'; 'The affects of Winter'; 'Lovely Bess'; 'A Hymn praying for forgiveness'; 'The Cock and Pearl'; 'Application'; 'Mary's Goast' (part removed); last part of a poem about the benefits of remaining a bachelor; ''A Hymn praying for grace in times of Temptation'; last part of a poem – about women?; 'A Morning Hymn'.

Also contains brief political comments; 'A Letter' (another draft to William, dated Lower Buston, July 20th 1824. Thanks William for his longer letter, discusses; the postal service; William's wife and her health; the possibility of William getting a poem published; George's wish that they could see more of one another; includes a short Christian poem) a complete letter from William to George is found at GG/5/1; 'An Elegy on the Late Unfavourable month of April'; 'Verses to a friend on presenting to him the Poems of Miss Hindmarsh'; 'To the same on presenting to him the Warkworth Hemit, history of Almth Castle, Hulm Abby, etc' (the friend is Cousin William of London); 'Verses on Spring 1824 Addressed to Miss E---' (warning to the recipient to be sober in her youth and beauty as the fate of the coquette is grim: 'Lone by a smokey loom she sits / Wither her head on hand reclining / And only greated by her cats / From lack of food that's pining'); 'A Speciman'; 'A Stomachic'; 'Lines supposed to be wrote by Miss C.

GG/4/1 Small notebook. Outside page is the draft of a legal document signed by Thomas Adams, Thomas Gibson and George Gibson. As the document is halved by all the notebook pages being inserted in-between it, it is difficult to ascertain what it pertains to – might be the Gibsons' having to make reparations for something to one Mr Joseph Harrison? One side/page of the outside/legal document is torn across the horizontal middle. Writing in the book goes 'both ways' so it is hard to tell which end is the front and back. However, if the front cover is the untorn page with quotes from St John's Gospel and St Paul's 1st Epistle to the Corinthians on the outside page, inside = 'A Collection of a few of the most remarkable occurrences in the Old Testament collected by George Gibson [Junior?] for the help of Memory to the readyer finding of any critical or interesting texts for the improvement of time, and for the getting of a thorough knowledge of the holy scriptures.' Poems: 'Invocation of reason'; 'The Muse'; the beginning of a reflection on St John 13:34. - Go to the end of the book: 'On the different tenets of the lesser sects or Professions of Christianity.' - Then turn the book over: End of the draft of a letter concerning the settling of a debt that someone owes George Gibson.

Unbound but numbered pages. Ten and a half sides long. Incomplete. There is no title or title page, so arguably the beginning of the poem may be missing, although the page numbers begin with 1. First section of the poem considers biblical narratives: Adam and Eve; Job and Sampson and Delilah. Chapter 2 (p 9) begins with an application to the stories, before returning to Adam and Eve and the Fall in more detail. Abruptly ends p 11. GG/9/1 Irish Poem. Unbound but numbered pages. Poem entitled: 'Lines occasioned by the Irish prelates memoualiscing (?) the House of Commons against the provision of the Irish colledge bill lest the faith and morals of the students should be injured by comeing in contact with the protestant professers of several sciances to be taught in those seminaries' - v anti Catholic: 'The more men are inclin'd and strickly taught / To yeald obedience to the Church of Rome / More like incarnate devils they become / Fill'd with the spirit of the wicked one.' 9½ sides long with the pages unbound but numbered together. GG/10/1 Gibson's response to 'A Word'. 'A Word: To the Rev. Messrs. Atkinson, Stowell, Blair and Company, occasioned by their Speeches at a Public Meeting of the Methodist Mission to Ireland, in North Shields, on Monday, April 28, 1834.' The statement's political thrust is pro-Catholic and Irish independence. Cites numerous instances of persecution of Catholics throughout Europe by Protestants, and gives examples of anti-Catholic legal statutes. Contains fiscal condemnation of subscriptions raised for Protestant missionaries while the Poor in England are uncared for, etc. General polarisation: Catholicism is right, Protestantism, wrong. Gibson's response: 'To Mr Edward Adams, North Shields, May 12, 1834.' Letter is 80 sides long and still incomplete. Effectively reverses all the arguments of the 'Word' to the conclusion that Protestantism is right, and Catholicism wrong. GG/11/1-9 Letters Blagdon 1843. Packet of letters stitched into a sheet of newspaper. Entitled 'Letters Blagdon 1843' on the inside of the back cover. The front cover includes articles about a 'Singular Discovery of a wreck' in Cleethorpes; The trial of Joseph Taylor, 23, who poisoned his father and attempted to kill the rest of his family (claiming to find justification in his socialist ideology and his lack of education); a shocking accident in which a man was nearly cut in half in a bone mill; and a letter from Harriet Martineau thanking the public for a subscription gathered on her retirement from writing. Inside the back cover is a very amusing and lengthy advertisement of 'Rowland's Macassar Oil' – a hair preservative and restorative – which is well worth a read. On the back cover is an article about political scandal in Spain 'The charge . . . brought against Senor Olozaga, of having used violence or intimidation to the young Queen, to make her sign the decrees for the dissolution of the Chambers . . .'. News from Brazil, and much more mundane, local news. Letters: GG/11/1 Letter: Blagdon. Sept 1843 Letter to Mr Ja Hood, Chemist and Druggist, Morpeth.

P 3-4, 16 line verse stating the self- conceit of inexperienced ministers fresh out of college with idealised concepts of their task. P 5 gives a reminder of Mr Wood, who applied for the post of minister after the death of Mr Atkin. Mr Wood then professed himself to be 'a staunch consistant Orthodox Presbyterian' but now he is 'a confirm'd Unitarian.' Gibson proclaims the age of Mr Anderson as a bonus. Address concludes half way down side 7. Sides 7-8 and a separate piece of paper attached by wax contain a number of sayings and responses devised by Gibson for a Sunday School Teacher and the scholars.

Retailers can translate social media engagement into seasonal sales, because most Halloween celebrants look for costume ideas from social media.
It's time for retailers to chime in on some social media 'tricks' in order to drive their businesses with some ROI 'treats', because Halloween celebrants are turning to platforms such as Twitter and Facebook for their costume ideas, more than they have ever done before.
In a Halloween Shopping survey conducted by Savers, which owns the Value Village chain of second-hand stores, 70 percent of costume-wearers were found to search for outfit inspiration via social platforms.
The survey also found that Halloween celebrants are likely to post an average of 10 images on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. Meanwhile, 40 percent of costume-wearers are more inclined to put extra effort into their outfits in order to look as 'cool' as possible for potential photos posted on social networks.
Savers wanted in on some of the Halloween social fun and have been encouraging consumers to tweet photos of their in-store thrifty costume experiences, using the hashtag #ThriftorTreat. As of October 31, roughly 158 mentions were tweeted. Here's just a couple of examples of some of the conversation that's been happening.

Love my costume #thriftortreat #halloween @SaversVVillage pic.twitter.com/ax8VUEecFz— Jeni (@JennKiss) October 23, 2013
But it isn't just Savers that is realizing the benefits of online activity around holidays. xAd, a local mobile ad network, also conducted a Halloween survey which reveals that a mere 36 percent of consumers get costume ideas in-store. Conversely, 34 percent of Halloween-related mobile searches occur a weekend before the holiday, while 23 percent of mobile searches still happen just hours before October 31 itself. Of course, social media is prevalent on the evening of Halloween too, according to xAd, as party-goers post photos of themselves and their dressed-up counterparts on sites such as Facebook.
xAd's survey also found that during mobile driven Halloween planning, the most used location-based key words include:
Savers' and xAd's findings bode well for retailers - as the evening of Halloween commences, retailers still have an opportunity to trick-or-treat online consumers into sharing their brands and buying their products, as much as they want to. Muuawahahaha!

You guys mentioned Sion, right? I've just bought it. Do you think he is better in duo bot lane or in solo top?

Ward red with a pink ward to make sure that your hard push is safe from ganks and use green wards to spot their middle camp bush so that you know when it's up so you can steal it while your wave is pushed.
Pushing the wave makes the middle lane very unsafe for the enemy laner and having a pink ward in the middle ensures that you know they don't have sight of you should you decide you want to gank top. Even if it is warded, lots of times the top can be very difficult to escape as it is a really long, bowed lane so ganks even if they're spotted have a good chance to at least get a summoner spell.

Here, we answer every question you could possibly have about Olympus Has Fallen.
As a society, we love Bruce Willis (even if his current film, A Good Day To Die Hard, is going to test that love a bit), which is why, as a society, we have conveniently forgotten Willis' foray into the recording industry. In 1987, Willis was a year away from true international stardom with Die Hard, but he was still an extremely popular man due to his work on the television show Moonlighting. That was the year he released his album, The Return of Bruno.
