"The storm which commenced with a fall of snow on January 7th, may be said to have continued without intermission until the 17th March. The heaviest snow fall of the year in the North of England took place on the 16th and 17th of March, and human life was lost and many thousands of sheep perished.
For several days together trains have been snowed up and house and villages have been cut off from their neighbours. Cutting through the snow drifts has fortunately employed many of those who have suffered so much from want of work this winter."

17th February - WORKHOUSE.
The fortnightly meeting of the Guisborough Union Guardians met yesterday. The Workhouse Master, Mr Sillock, reported the average number of inmates to be 140.5.
There was great concern about finding employment for the great number of men out of work locally. 3 able bodied men, two from Commondale and one from North Skelton appeared to ask for relief.
The "Workhouse" website states the following, source not known.:-
"In 1886, a dispute arose over the running of the Guisborough workhouse which six months later resulted in the resignation or sacking of nearly the whole staff.
Numerous charges and counter-charges were made involving the Master and Matron, the Schoolmistress, the Porter, and the Industrial Trainer.
The Master was initially given a vote of confidence by the Guardians in his claims that the Schoolmistress disobeyed his orders, displayed violent tempers, and fostered dissatisfaction amongst the inmates.
In turn, the Master, it was claimed, kept 30 or 40 hens at the workhouse, and sold their eggs for his own profit.
In January 1887, a six-day enquiry by the Local Government Board resulted in the Guardians being forced to demand the resignation not only of the Schoolmistress, but also of the Matron and Master and the Porter. In addition, an Assistant Matron and the Head Nurse resigned."

She had never received any particular order to clean the guns.
The guns were cleaned by the man, but when they were through cleaning they gave the guns a dust. She never knew the guns were loaded and she supposed the deceased did not know either.
The only words that passed between herself and deceased whilst cleaning the cupboard was the she said "Do be careful of the guns".
Ann, the deceased, was on the floor cleaning the gun when it exploded. On hearing the roport witness turned round and saw the deceased lying on the floor with blood spouting from her breast.
Dr Dunn said the shot struck the centere of the third rid on the right side and pierced the main artery. Mr Petch said he did not know when the gun was last fired. He kept it generally loaded.
The Coroner cleared the court except for the police and jury and recalled Mr Petch.

George Harrison of Skelton, aged 58 was found hanged in York County Lunatic Asylum.
People from this area, who were certified as insane by the local doctor were taken the 60 miles to the Lunatic Asylum at York.
An example of this can be seen as early as the Overseers of Skelton Book for the 1820's decade. Here.
A magnificent building at York had been promoted with the best intentions by the Archbishop of York and completed by 1777.
It's applied Tuscan columns, pediment and fashionable Venetian windows, were reported in the press as 'an elegant and expensive affair', but it didn't please everyone.
William Mason, a Precentor at the Minster, wrote that its extravagant design was a waste of public money and suggested it should instead be advertised as 'a lunatic hotel'.
However, the study of the disturbed mind was little understood.
As with much corruption, still much reported today in the lack of care and abuse of the old and incapable, it was later discovered that despite its grandiose exterior there were many examples of patients held in terrible squalor and abused with physical and sexual violence by those in charge.

He therefore asked to advertise in the North Eastern Daily Gazette. The suggestion created considerable conversation and one member said that the Gazette was not taken by the class of person likely to require the services of Workhouse boys.
Mr R P Petch of Skelton, however, thought differently. Yesterday the Master reported 2 of the boys had obtained suitable situations.
23rd August - STOPPAGE OF NORTH SKELTON MINES.
The workmen employed at Messrs Bolckow, Vaughan and Co's North Skelton mines have received notice and the mines will be laid in.
For a considerable time most of the Cleveland miners have been working short time and consequently the wages earned have not been such as to enable the miners to save anything for the proverbial rainy day.
The closing will affect 250 men and boys besides women and children which will bring the number up to nearly 1000. It is to be feared that the restrictive policy will considerably affect other mines in the district.
For some weeks past batches of men and their wives and families have left Cleveland for America and elsewhere.
Where this has caused the house to be left tenantless it has been boarded up by the employers who are not inclined to set on fresh hands.
30th August - MUGGED AT MIDDLESBROUGH.
Edward McIntee and James Maddigan, labourers, were charged with stealing 3s 11d in money, the property of Edward Hill, a miner of North Skelton on the 28th.

Longacres will continue to work as usual. All the other mineowners were agreeable to a suggestion by the Miners Association to share the work between mines, but not Messrs Bolckow and Vaughan, the owners of North Skelton. The mineowners promised to consider a reduction in house rents and the price of coals and powder.
8th September - DRUNK DRIVER.
G Lewis, a coal leader, was fined including the costs 24 shillings for being drunk whilst in charge of a horse and cart at Skelton on the 30th.
9th September - SHORT TIME IN THE MINES.
The majority of the married men lately employed at the North Skelton mines, which have been laid idle have been engaged to work short time at Longacres.
At all other mines short time is being worked rather than dismissing hands, but a large number of miners are leaving the district, a good many of them emigrating.
17 September - RESTARTING OF THE NORTH SKELTON MINES - BREACH OF AGREEMENT.
The President of the Cleveland Miners Association, Mr Joseph Toyn, addressed a meeting of the North Skelton and Long Acres miners last evening at the Bull's Head Inn, North Skelton.
Mr Toyn said the meeting was convened to consider a proposal to reopen the North Skelton Mine at a reduction of 1 penny per ton.
That was a breach of the sliding scale agreement, one clause of which was to the effect that no alteration could be made during the currency of the agreement, in the rate of wages unless the mining conditions or appliances were changed so as to affect the facilities of working with the right to submit any dispute for the decision of the Joint Committee...
They would remember that a short time since the mine-owners agreed to reduce the output.
In order to keep the men together he had tried to induce the minowners not to discharge any of their men, but to share the work as equally as possible and with the exception of Messrs Bolckow and Vaughan the other firms in the district had made arrangements to share the work.
He had personally begged Mr W Richards to do the same, but his representations had been of no avail and he was finally told that nothing could be done and ultimately the North Skelton Mine was closed under the pretence of complying with the mineowners proposal to reduce the output.
The manager, Mr Thompson, recently told him that the North Skelton miners had 1 penny per tone more than those employed at Lumpsey and he had also been informed that the charge-men and machine tenders were getting from 8s 2d per day and that the fillers were earning 4s 5d per shift, which he very much disputed.
It was also said that the fillers average had gone up from 12 tons 3cwt per day to 15 tons 3 cwt.
If Mr Thompson was allowed to break through the sliding scale agreement with impunity, what was to prevent the other mineowners in the district enforcing a reduction in the same way ?
He said that if the tactics of Mr Thompson were going to be carried out they would have like Mr Parnell and his followers to move all together.
He hoped the time would come when the action of Mr Thompson would recoil upon his own head.
A unanimous vote was taken in favour of the action taken by Mr Toyn. We understand that the machine men and charge men will commence work this morning.
26th October - MINERS' WAGES.
A meeting of the miners resolved to appeal the action of Bolckow Vaughan in that they brought about a reduction of wages other than through the sliding scale or the Joint Committee. It was decided in their favour which has given great satisfaction throughout the District. Otherwise a bad precedent would be set.
21st September - HUNTING ACCIDENT.
Bergan Shutt, stud groom at Skelton Castle in the employ of Mr W H A Wharton, the master of the Cleveland Hunt, met with a serious accident in the hunting field. While out with the hounds near Brotton his horse got its foot in a rabbit hole and threw its rider over its head and broke his thigh. He was taken to the Miners' Hospital at Skelton Green.
23rd October - SECOND HELPINGS.
A public meeting at Skelton, with Mr Toyn in the Chair, heard an account of the troubles at Guisborough Workhouse.
Towards the end the Workhouse porter, William Morris, was hustled up to the platform amid shouts of "Hang him" and "Throw him out of the window" etc.
He was accused of for over 2 years dining every night at the Workhouse at the expense of the Workhouse. This assertion was indignantly denied.
11th Nov. - MINE DEATH, ROOF FALL.
Longacres Mine. Charles Cranmer, a miner aged 45 of Brotton, was killed.
"Fall of stone from a smooth back while he was drilling a hole in it; it fell without warning"
At the inquest in the Bull's Head Hotel, North Skelton, John Pratt said that he had worked with the deceased for about 8 years.
They sounded the place and found it all right on Thursday morning. They fired a shot at 7 a.m, bored another hole and were
commencing to fill stone when a quantity about 19 hundredweight fell from the side on Cranmer causing instant death.
13 November - SCHOOL SALARIES.
The salaries of pupil teachers was fixed at Ł10 for the first year, to be increased by Ł2 10s each year. A new headmistress was to be appointed to the Stanghow Lane Girls School at a salary of Ł75 per year.
13th November - TEMPERANCE.
The Church of England Temperance Society held their first public meeting in Cleveland on Friday evening in the Drill Shed, Skelton.
17th November - NORTH SKELTON MINE RESTARTS.
Mr Toyn and nearly all the men met the Manager Mr Thomson and it was agreed to re-open the mine at once at the original tonnage rate and leave the dispute in the hands of the Arbitration Board. This is what the miners wanted all along and the mine will have a share of work in all the mines owned by Bolckow and Vaughan.
2nd December - WORKHOUSE DISTRESS.
There at present 160 persons in the Guisborough Union, a larger number than for some years. There are also 30 married men working at the labour test 4 days per week at 1s 6d per day.
17 of them walk from Skelton to Guisborough [4 miles] every morning and 2 from Commondale.
The Relieving Officer states that there are a great many very pitiful cases indeed in the district.
14th December - DOG AND RABBIT.
G Smith, G Burden, William Hudson, James Oliver and John Osborn, all miners, were charged by PC Gospel Brough with trespassing in pursuit of game on land belonging to Mr J T Wharton at Skelton on the 3rd.

Defendants hounded the dog on to the rabbit. Osborn and Hudson fined 10s and costs and the rest 5s each and costs.

At one time the knock on the door was a friend or neighbor looking to borrow a cup of sugar or the hedge trimmer. They may still be looking for those things, but increasingly they are also looking to connect up to our home networks when they come to visit. People are now carrying with them an average of 2.6 mobile devices according to recent mobile research by Cisco Internet Business Solutions Group. And people want to make sure that these devices are connected to the Internet. Often the first question following the pleasantries when friends and families enter our homes is can I use your Wi-Fi network to connect my smartphone, tablet, laptop or other new mobile device? Mobile users are now expecting that their friend's and neighbor's homes will have Wi-Fi, just like they have electricity and running water.
The value of "community Wi-Fi" is being recognized by a number of organizations. One is Fon, who has created a shared open-source network of more than 7 million hotspots around the world that community members can use for free. Another is BT, who has incorporated the Fon application and model into its home broadband service. This approach enables BT to provide broadband customers free access to the global Fon network, while expanding its U.K. hotspot network to more than 4 million sites—so, now friends and family members who are also BT customers can seamlessly authenticate and join the host's home network.
The benefits of community Wi-Fi are becoming increasingly apparent to other service providers. By extending the network through their own customers not only do they rapidly expand the size of that network, but they create a compelling "friends and family" world that helps in new customer acquisition and retention of existing customers. Equally, community Wi-Fi allows SPs to differentiate their broadband offers from competitors and potentially extract a premium for their service.
Many service providers are now trying to understand how they can create a community Wi-Fi network amongst their broadband customers and reap these new business benefits. Recent research on Community Wi-Fi by Cisco IBSG revealed some very interesting findings into the needs and behaviors, current and future mobile usage, and the average profile of community Wi-Fi users. Approximately 40 percent of mobile device owners are "community" users. Compared with other mobile users, community users are technically advanced, own more sophisticated devices, and use these devices up to twice as often as mobile users. The community segment is also significant to SPs: this group is younger, wealthier, and willing to spend more money on mobile services.
These and other research findings from the survey can help SPs understand the size of the opportunity, develop strategies for success, acquire new customers and retain existing ones, and differentiate their community Wi-Fi offerings and initiatives from those of their competitors, extracting a premium for their service.
The complete results can be found at "May I Borrow A Cup of Wi-Fi?"

The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

Gforce chip
:smiledown: I would not recommend. Nothing seems to go smoothly with them. No receipt in packaging, wrong wiring harness diagram, unable to contact tech support.
They are a Scam period.
I was a little skeptical of them anyway. I checked their website and every "chip" they sell is 69 bucks. I figured you pay pretty much a couple hundred at least from every other manufacturer how could they get away with such low prices. Reminds me of the map sensor loop device sold on ebay for cars for like five bucks; NOT worth the time.
Sorry for your troubles. I would not recommend those to anyone, either.

We are taking Iceland Air to Europe in July so decided to take advantage of their "free" stopover. So we have 24 hours (actually 25). We plan to take the flybus into central Reykavik, walk around for a few hours, then do the 6 hour excursion tour that departs at 13:00.
So we need a hotel just to crash in for one night. We'll need to be back at the airport for a 7:55 flight, so probably too early to even have breakfast at the hotel. So clean and centrally located is all we want, and therefore as cheap as possible. Any suggestions?
Has anyone had experience doing this that could give any tips. I figure we'll have about 4 hours to "see" Reykjavik before the bus tour.

Reykjavik for 24 hours
We are taking Iceland Air to Europe in July so decided to take advantage of their "free" stopover. So we have 24 hours (actually 25). We plan to take the flybus into central Reykavik, walk around for a few hours, then do the 6 hour excursion tour that departs at 13:00.
Report Abuse
The excursion will probably pick up from any hotel as long as you tell them. By July there will be very little darkness. Choice or hotel will be purely on price so no particular suggestion. However it might depend on which spa you want to use. There is a nice one by the national stadium so yo have load of international stuff there including the grand. If however your night life needs to have music and drink then head down town
Report Abuse
Great idea to take advantage of this, and, as mentioned, the long hours of daylight in July make this an ideal time to visit.
Here are a few ideas on what to do: http://www.notabletravels.com/destinations/atlantic/Reykjavik/Reykjavik.html
Report Abuse
<<< We plan to take the flybus into central Reykavik >>>
Unless things have changed since last year the flybus takes you to the bus station on the outskirts of Reykjavik, from where you get bus or taxi into the centre.
Report Abuse
According to the flybus website they take you to the bus station for one price (3500isk / $27 RT) but for another price (4500isk / $35) they offload you to "smaller" buses and take you to your hotel.
How far "out" is the bus station? On google maps it looks rather central. Although the only hotels I've found so far appear to be close to a mile away from it.
I found two hotels on Ranargata - the Metropolitan Hotel and the Gallery Guest House. I also found the Hotel Cabin on Borgartúni. Has anyone heard of any of these - or know the general locations?
Report Abuse
I stayed at Hotel Cabin last year and thought it was a great value. It's not in the center of downtown, but it is easily walkable (less than half an hour) and as a previous poster mentioned, all tours will pick you up/drop you off at your hotel. I'd say if you stay at a hotel a bit out of downtown like Cabin, it's worth it to pay the extra $7 to be brought from the airport all the way to your hotel. More info and pics in our Iceland post at http://patrinadoestheglobe.blogspot.com/
Report Abuse
The bus station is far enough out of the city to make a walk, with luggage, to your hotel feel more like an expedition, particularly if the weather isn't favourable.
I don't have experience of the hotels you've listed, but Borgartun is far more central than Ranargata as it runs pretty much parallel to the main shopping street, Laugavergur, and most of the best bars/cafes and restaurants are within short walking distance.
Report Abuse
Thanks for your replies.
Katrina your blog was very informative. Question - you mention "the town square" - can you be more specific. The guide books mention a couple but don't seem to say the one is "the" town square. Where exactly is the "center"?
So now I am really confused. According to google maps the cabin inn on Borgartun looks way more out of "center" than Ranargata. I looked at Frommers and Rough Guides on-line and the areas they mostly talk about are around the lake (Tjorin) and between there and the harbor.
We will only have four hours at best to take a "walk" around the whatever is the most interesting area before our excursion tour. We won't have any evening time at all and aren't interested in shopping, museums, good restaurants or nightlife on this trip. It's simply to see the "historic" areas that the tourist would find most interesting. Do a little walking tour, take some photos. According to all these hotels the Flybus will drop off/pick up, and so will the excursion tour buses.
So given that info are your suggestions still the same? Anyone else?
Report Abuse
It's really six of one and a half dozen of the other. They're more or less the same walking distance from Hallgrims Church with points of interest along the way from both.
With four hours to spare, you'd end up being able to see roughly the same things from both as Reykjavik is so small. Apologies for not being more helpful, but we're probably talking a difference of five to ten minutes walking distance...
