Getting Gold in Gaia

There are lots of ways of getting gold in Gaia but one of my favourite ways is by doing puzzels and posting posts in forums as this so far is the best way of getting gold that i have found. I have just bought a trading pass and am trying to buy things on the cheap and sell them for a profit but at the moment im just trying to suss out how to work it. I found that trying to win Gold by playing cards or the slots is not the best way of earning gold as like real life i never seem to win. Also it is good how you can earn gold just by surfing the Gaia site but you dont earn that much and are much better trying to do someting else. I have not sussed out how to shake trees to find gold or win gold by fishing by these are the next things that i wish to find out about.

Contract Rebels

With the transfer window back open again and players ready to move from club to club Aberdeen are one of the many clubs about to sell some of there best players at a cut price fee because there contracts run out in the summer and will then be allowded to move for free.Chris Clark, Barry Nicholsen, Michael Hart and Zander Diamond are all in this situation and it suits the players as they can just wait and see who come in and offer them the most money. With Michael Hart and Chris Clark already looking like they are on there way to Plymouth to boost their wages and Barry Nicholsen stalling on a new contract its begs the question, is there any loyality in football nowadays or is it all about money. At least Zander Diamond has penned a new deal and will be staying with the dons but far to many players see the money being offered and up and leave and in most cases ruin their careers.

Christmas hols

Wel thought i would just write down a few things i got up to over the festive period. The best m oment of my holidays would probably have been when i went out christmas eve night with my mates dressed as santa claus.It was a brillant night and brought loads of laughs from everyone to each place we went to but had a bit of a hangover come christmas day but it was worth it. Got a few things for christmas with my new watch probably being the best gift. Also went in to town for the bells at new year but to be honest that night was a bit of a blur and cant remember the start of the new year till i woke about 5pm the next day. Apart from that i worked some extra hours at work and went on more nights out.

Artic Monkeys Gig

I went to the the artic monkeys gig on friday night at the aecc and was rather disappointed at the outcome. The artic monkeys are one of my favourite bands and i had been looking forward to seeing them since i had bought the tickets. Dont get me wrong they did perform some there good songs well and got the crowd going at times but just when you felt the gig was going well it seemed just to go a bit dire. The most disappointing thing about the gig was the poor song choices with them missing out a number of their better tracks and not really finishing the gig with a bang. Overall not what i expected the outcome to be and hope in the future they put on a better show if i go see them again.!!!

OTIS READING (FACTFILE)

Otis Redding became one of the most admired and influential soul musicians, and he is still praised by many as the greatest popular-music vocalist ever to call Georgia home.



Born on September 9, 1941, in Dawson, Redding moved with his family to Macon when he was three years old. In order to offer financial help to his struggling family, Redding dropped out of Macon's Ballard Hudson High School in the tenth grade and went to work as a member of Little Richard's rock-and-roll band, the Upsetters. Redding met his wife, Zelma Atwood, in 1959, and the couple married in 1961. Two of their sons, Dexter and Otis III, would become musicians and music producers.



Otis wrote many truly great songs like "These Arms of Mine", "Try a Little Tenderness", "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", "Respect" and "I Can't Turn You Loose". His greatest ever song (siitin on) the dock of the bay was recorded three days before Ottis died in a plane crash in 1967 and went on to sell over a millon copies and straight to number one in the charts. Reading was only 26 years old when he died but his music is still living on through to the present day and will continue to live on because truly great songs are never forgotten.
