Faster broadband on way to more homes
By Western Gazette - North Dorset | Thursday, July 19, 2012, 08:00
BETTER broadband is on its way to south Somerset as part of a £2.5-billion investment by BT across the UK.
The telecommunications company is rolling out high speed fibre broadband across the nation and plans to bring the service to 41,700 South West homes in the next two years.
Fibre broadband is already available in places in Somerset such as Bath, Bridgwater, Taunton and Wellington. It will become available in Yeovil later this year.
There are also plans to roll out fibre broadband in many parts of Dorset including Dorchester, Shaftesbury and Weymouth by 2014, but no plans yet to bring the scheme to Sherborne.
There are already planning applications in to South Somerset District Council to install Openreach broadband cabinets on land at South Street, The Park and Hendford in Yeovil as well as Stoford.
Yeovil will be the first town in south Somerset to benefit from faster broadband and it is hoped the upgrade will create new businesses and hundreds of local jobs for the town.
BT says recent research by Regeneris Consulting predicts that over the next 15 years BT's fibre broadband could give the economy of a typical town a £143-million boost, create 225 new jobs and 140 new start-up businesses.
Jon Reynolds, South West regional director, said: "The arrival of fibre broadband in these Somerset communities is a massive shot in the arm for the local economy, creating new businesses, jobs and educational opportunities.
"The benefits are major and wide ranging. As our new fibre network expands across the South West it also brings new potential for offering essential public services on-line and cost savings."
Rupert Cox, chief executive for Somerset Chamber of Commerce, said: "This is excellent news for many people. Reliable, fast connections can make all the difference to education and business, and give people much greater scope for interaction with the world around them.
"In a tough economic climate, this local investment from BT will help make the county an even better place to live, work and do business."
Fibre broadband offers speeds many times faster than those currently available to most UK homes and businesses.
BT says internet users with a fibre broadband connection can do much more online, all at the same time. A family can download a movie, watch a TV replay service, surf the net and play games online simultaneously.
A whole album can be downloaded in less than 30 seconds and a feature length HD movie in less than 10 minutes, while high-resolution photos can be uploaded to Facebook in seconds.
Mr Reynolds said: "As more and more people get connected to the fibre broadband network, it's increasingly important that those living in our more rural areas don't miss out. Across the UK, public bodies are developing plans to boost broadband speeds in even the most challenging areas."

Moving from West to East? | Mike Horton on Office Hours
In recent decades a large number of evangelicals (and some Reformed folk) have left the evangelical faith for some version of Eastern Orthodoxy. Recently the CBS news program "60 Minutes" claimed that the Eastern Orthodox church is only unbroken tradition in Christianity. In the latest episode, Office Hours asks Mike to tackle these questions and more.

I am in Grade 4. It is a split 3/4 class. My class and I were learning about government when the election was going on. My class and I did an election, all by ourselves. After we finished my teacher, Miss Scott, made our classroom just like a real voting place. It was a lot of fun doing and learning about the government!
A few weeks after the voting, Miss Scott told the whole class we were going to do an oral presentation project. It was lots of fun doing it! This letter is about mine. There are three different parts. They are my local issue, my opinion and issue resolution.
My local issue is the serving of alcohol in the stands at the North Stars� hockey games. People attend the hockey games as entertainment for the whole family. Many people spend more time getting or drinking alcohol then watching the game and cheering their team on.
My parents teach me that alcohol is not needed everywhere you go. I am also taught you should not drink and drive. At these hockey games people choose to drink during the whole game then drive home. This puts me, their children, and all the public in jeopardy.
My resolutions to this issue are: no alcohol at hockey games; alcohol served in the bar area only, with increased policing and a check stop after the game; alcohol served between periods, in the bar, not before and after the game.

Larnaka is the international gateway to Cyprus, being its second port and having an international airport. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, and has plenty of historical sightseeing on offer to complement its deep-blue sea, bright sandy beaches and reliably sunny skies. With its 400-berth marina, Larnaka is also a favoured destination for visitors with yachts. Land-based tourists enjoy the palm-lined harbor promenade and the citys international caliber shops, inviting cafes and panoramic Mediterranean views.
When Dr Sandy Fowler and his wife Beryl purchased a three bedroom detached house in the traditional village of Anafotia, it was the first home they had bought in 25 years and their first in Cyprus.
Dr Fowler comments; My wife and I were both long-term residents of Dubai in the Gulf, but retirement there was not an option. I had tried retirement in México and visited Malaysia in 2007 to look at properties there, but finally opted for Cyprus. Id been around the block as the Americans say, but I was a novice in the Cyprus house market.
On my first house-hunting visit to Cyprus in May 2007, I was seduced by some of the Internet web sites. The result was a complete waste of a weeks visit while agents showed me what they wanted to sell me, and not what I wanted to buy. Frustrated, I returned with my wife in October and after two weeks we still had not found what we wanted. Returning alone to Cyprus in January 2008 I stumbled across Cyprus Dream Homes. It was the best trip I ever made.
The team there showed me what caring and looking after clients is all about. They walked me through every step of the house-buying procedure and I was both surprised and delighted to find that their efforts didnt stop there. Cyprus Dream Homes also offer an open after sales service with guidance and advice on from where to find a dentist to the right furniture shop to look at.
The propertys previous owner, Aemon Regas, originally purchased the home through Cyprus Dream Homes in 2006. Aemon comments: Cyprus Dream Homes was the first agent I visited and I was so impressed with them that I didnt consider going with anyone else, either when buying or subsequently selling my property.
They were extremely professional and really listened to me. Their prime interest was meeting their clients needs. I was confident that with their experience, property market knowledge and marketing tools that they would achieve a quick sale for me and they did!
Dr Fowler concludes: From a canny and suspicious Scotsman, I have been transformed into a believer. My advice to anyone wishing to buy a property in Cyprus is simple. Call Cyprus Dream Homes you cant do any better.
And if you dont believe me call me and Ill tell you myself.
Keith and Jenny Bridger
When Keith and Jenny Bridger retired to Cyprus, they didnt imagine that they would find their dream home less than 24 hours after arriving on the island and that they would be moved in within two weeks!
Jenny comments: Our original plan had been to rent whilst we looked around for our ideal property. However, after a friend recommended Cyprus Dream Homes to us, we decided to call in the day after we arrived. After speaking with Christiana about the type of home we were looking for, she thought she had the perfect property for us and she was right!
We visited the house there and then and fell in love with it immediately. It was exactly the type of home we wanted a spacious two bedroom house with views of both the mountains and the sea. We didnt even look at any more properties!
Keith continues: We still cant quite believe that everything went so quickly and so smoothly. We were quite apprehensive but Christiana and her team really removed all the stress and pressure that so often comes with purchasing a new home particularly when buying in a foreign country.
What was great about Cyprus Dream Homes was that the service didnt stop as soon as we bought our house. We received wonderful after-sales care which really helped us settle in. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and they even advised about things which didnt concern our house, such as the best markets and local restaurants to visit. The service we received really was fantastic.
We decided to retire abroad as we wanted to live in a warmer climate and also because the UK was becoming very expensive to live in, with property prices becoming ridiculously high. We had purchased and moved into our home two weeks to the day that we came over to Cyprus a process which would have taken months back home.
Jenny concludes: We chose Cyprus because, when in the army, Keith was stationed here on-and-off for five years, so we know the island well and really love it. Larnaka was our favourite area because, unlike many other parts of the island, it wasnt too touristy and it is very traditional whilst having all the modern shops and amenities. We have absolutely no regrets about moving here!
David Brown
Since David Brown retired five years ago, he has purchased two properties through Cyprus Dream Homes and would never consider returning to the UK.
I initially came to Cyprus on holiday but soon decided I wanted to move here - I was attracted by the sun, lifestyle and low taxes! I have been here now since 2001, first renting and then purchasing a new apartment built by Cyprus Dream Homes in Larnaca three years ago.
I travelled all over to find out what I could about the islands history and culture. I quickly discovered a very friendly country which enjoys beautiful weather and where the locals are welcoming and speak English readily. I also discovered that my money could stretch that bit further my main needs being a good social life and travelling around (there are a surprising amount of things to see and do all across Cyprus).
When I first moved here I stayed in Nicosia but soon found that Larnaca was my favourite place. It has a mix of Cypriots and other nationalities which has created a warm and friendly community. I feel comfortable here, knowing that I am in a foreign place but also feel at home as well. Unlike many other parts of Cyprus, Larnaca is a thriving town all-year-round which, as I am living here full time, was crucial to me.
I looked at dozens of properties but I kept coming back to Cyprus Dream Homes Athena Olympia. I was very impressed by the quality of construction and also by the sense of space within the apartment I didnt find that in any of the other new-build or under construction homes I looked at.
Although I bought it simply as a place to live in, Cyprus Dream Homes advised that it would be a great investment and it really has been. By following their advice and buying the apartment, just three years later I have been able to purchase my new, much larger home.
I sold my apartment through Cyprus Dream Homes and purchased my house with them as well. I only looked at homes with Cyprus Dream Homes; I wouldnt have dreamed of going with anyone else. I was always extremely impressed with their service and the advice they gave. They made both property purchases extremely easy - they took care of everything.
Cyprus is now home and when Im away I look forward to returning. I am known, remembered and welcomed here, and thats not often the case amid the oppressiveness and stress of what is now England. I am enjoying my retirement in an almost stress free, very sunny environment. I couldnt be happier or feel luckier!
Ken and Val Smyth
Our family links go back to the 1970s when a farsighted relative built a villa overlooking Coral Bay in Paphos. Our Aunt still lives there today.
We started coming to Cyprus with thoughts of a future retirement property in the sun. A number of locations and many developments in other parts of the Island were researched. However, once we had visited Larnaca it soon became a clear favourite. The advantages are; very reasonable property prices, good airport and road links, friendly, honest and helpful people with English widely spoken appealed to us. It is a compact, easy town to get around and we love our evening strolls on the promenade in a wonderful climate.
Further research showed us that there would be considerable pension tax benefits, good health facilities, excellent communications links and no changes to our driving procedures.
The whole process of buying a quality property "off plan was made so much easier because of the professionalism, courtesy and friendliness extended to us by Mrs. Christiana Alexandrou and all her team at Cyprus Dream Homes. Our investment has shown excellent returns because we took her advice and bought in one of the most popular residential areas.
To anyone thinking about a similar purchase our advice would be to do your homework and deal only with experienced, qualified professionals. For all these reasons we are happy to recommend Cyprus Dream Homes to other prospective buyers.
>>>>Contact Cyprus Dream Homes now.
I chose Cyprus to buy a property because I found reasonable property prices, friendly people, warm climate and tax advantages on my pension.
DREAMHOMES were recommended by a team agent that I contacted in the U.K. I havent seen any other agent because I felt that the advice and personal service that I received from Mrs. Alexandrou and her staff was excellent. The investment has been financially sound.
Also, I felt more comfortable about my investment when I met and dealt with Mrs. Alexandrou and her staff, which made buying a property near Larnaca more attractive than elsewhere.
I chose Larnaca for several reasons like the proximity to the airport and friends in the area.
Whilst living in Cyprus (I am a British Army Officer) we often browsed at local Estate Agents. Having been let down by a widely advertised national agent we decided to compare properties with another local agent. Through word of mouth and recommendation from friends both Cypriot and British, we decided to choose Dream Homes. From the initial greeting we knew we would find our ideal property. At no time did we feel pressurized and the services we received were personal, friendly and extremely professional.
We had seen another agent before using Dream Homes. We found our ideal property through Dream Homes and therefore did not require any other agents services.
We would recommend to others to use established, recognized agents with knowledge of the local market. Cyprus Dream Homes have the experience, the knowledge and the contacts to offer the best professional service.
Mrs. Alexandrou inspires confidence through her team of loyal staff. The agents motto is: Come in and let us find your ideal property This certainly worked for us and we will strongly recommend Dream Homes to friends and colleagues. We are absolutely delighted with the outcome of our investment.
Larnacas accessibility and central location meets all our requirements. It has not been spoilt by over development like Limassol, Ayia Napa and Paphos.
The sunny climate of Cyprus was one of the reasons we chose Cyprus to buy a property. Compared to U.K. it has lower taxes and cost of living. Most of the people speak English due to historical connections to U.K.
House prices are reasonable compared to other Mediterranean countries with good prospects after joining the E.U.
We found Cyprus Dream Homes while touring the Island looking for property. We found the service to be friendly and very helpful and far better to the service provided to Purchasers by U.K. agents.
We saw several agents prior to Cyprus Dream Homes but we were not impressed by them. My tip for people coming to Cyprus would be do not rush. See a number of properties and compare locations and prices. The excellent staff of Cyprus Dream Homes will show you a variety of good value for money properties and guide you through every step thus making the whole procedure of purchasing the property very pleasant and straight forward.
We chose Cyprus Dream homes because it was advertised in our local estate agents in England. It was through them that we met the staff from Dream Homes who made the experience of both looking and buying our property very enjoyable.
We are also very happy with the service and quality of work.
My wife and I would like to thank Mrs. Alexandrou and her team, in particular Stella and Sylvia, for making the selection and purchase of our new apartment and moving in process as smooth as possible.
We were originally looking for a second home in a good location for an investment, holiday home and rental potential and Cyprus Dream Homes have helped us to achieve these three aims.
We chose Cyprus Dream Homes as our agents following considerable research on the internet and the variety of properties and prices they have available on their books. We have been very impressed by the professionalism and helpfulness of Cyprus Dream Homes. Christianas team has been there to support us with every aspect of the purchase of our new apartment, from the initial inspection visit to moving in and property management.
It is worth noting that Cyprus Dream Homes is a government registered estate agent that must comply with high professional standards in order to undertake conveyancing and all aspects of the property purchase.
We chose Larnaca because of its: desirable location on the south coast with easy access to Nicosia and holiday resort locations east and west, the redevelopment of its road network which will make Larnaca a key location to live in the future with increasing property prices, its International airport and the friendliness of its people. We have not been disappointed with our choice.
Having now moved into our new apartment we look forward to working with Cyprus Dream Homes to rent our property when we are not using it until we retire and are able to spend considerably more time in our dream home in Cyprus.

First of all before I forget – Happy Birthday to the Best Granddaughter ever – Ciera – your 8th birthday will be great I'm sure and I hope you like how your mommy has redone your bedroom – glad we got to see you in August.
I picked out a fairly easy block to make this week for this quilt and it was a breeze as some blocks go. That gives me 6 out of the 12 needed for this quilt (plus an extra large center block of course).
The one that just got done.
All six:
I think I have the next block picked out to make but I will look it over again this weekend. I might get that block prepped in between other things.
Some help you all were for helping me pick out the color of my binding for the Christmas quilt it was 5 for dark brick red(sashing color) and 5 for the backing red with the swirls of gold – none for the background fabric so I think I will be deciding between the two reds!! I will cut a small piece of each and pin it to the quilt when I am done with the quilting and see which pops out at me the most.
I have the Star Crazy BOM October instructions printed out but they will be put aside to work on until I have finished the Christmas quilt – it will only be put aside for a week or so – I won't get behind as I'm sure I will finish them this month, just not right now.

Is it possible to buy pastured chickens and eggs within a 2-hr drive of the GTA?
Just thinking about the coming spring and wondered if it is possible to buy pasture raised chickens and eggs within 2-hrs of the GTA. I did some research on the the net but couldn't really find anything. Anyone have any details?
re: jayt90
Perhaps that's what singe was referring to, but he mentioned "wild-hunted" turkey in his post.
Oh, and I almost forgot...eggs. I don't know about pastured or not, but I think the very best eggs for sale in the city come from Fresh From the Farm on Donlands. They taste the closest to the ones from my own chickens when I was a kid.
Contact Robt. Huber at www.beefconnections.ca when you are planning a day trip to Mt.Forest. He has completely free-run dressed chickens and eggs, but not always available. A couple of km. away is Frey's Custom Meats, with most Mennonite specialties. Word of mouth for religious reasons.
re: jayt90
Huber's free-ranged pastured birds will be available in the fall. A box is $60 delivered.
(3 x 6.5lb.) I saw his chickens last summer, and they are very healthy, and have the run of the place.
Since you asked for within 2 hours of the GTA I would recommend going out to the KW area. There are a ton of Mennonite farmers that have signs on the road for fresh eggs. Don't know about chickens though. Although if going out there go on a market day and stop in and visit the poultry farmer at St. Jacobs Market.
re: camp1980
in itself, the farmer being mennonite does not guarantee free range chicken or eggs. there is wide range of farming among mennonites in the area, and only the old order mennonites can be counted on eschewing much of the modern farming practices. most farmers in the regions who are mennonite are conventional farmers, which means their eggs might be fresh (as in gathered today) but likely have come from commercial-style chicken barns.
re: crawfish
I don't think there is a difference. But try finding eggs from free range chickens. I think they're out there, but very difficult to find. I'm talking about the eggs with the super golden yolks that my grandmother (and Michael Pollan in the "Omnivore's Dillema) talks about.
I also want to find try Free Range chickens, not just the eggs.
"Free Run" eggs are available, but that's not the same as free range. AFAIK, all Free Run means is that the chickens are allowed a certain amount of outdoor time (sometimes very little) in an area that is little more than a cage without a roof. I want the ones that are allowed to graze and peck on the pasture, eating grasses and insects, not just grains.
re: acd123
There is a real difference: pastured birds can move about or go inside, but free range merely gets them out of cages but still in the barn. I think it's a technicality
that large producers can exploit, for eggs and for fresh or frozen chicken. Frankly, you have to read between the lines on the packaging, or else ask a lot of questions.
re: acd123
Then you can get free range chickens and eggs at the St Lawrence north market on Saturdays.
re: crawfish
I'm there every Saturday. Which vendor has them????? Harlan Whatever's eggs are free range?
re: acd123
It is. They are. Fresh from the chicken to you.
Good grief , I have to comment ! Firstly, the question had nothing to do with "wild birds " or hunting. LOL. Ok , pastured chickens are simply chickens that have some time out in the grass and hay fields near the coup. As much time as possible, but 1. you can't just let chickens free range all the time or all day unattended as you would lose all chickens to vermin, hawks, foxes, racoons, etc. Unless, under a travelling pen, moveable across the field daily, the birds would be lost pretty fast left unguarded. So, there are lots of small farms close to TO with "pastured chickens " , but no chicken is out all day and night everyday. At the very least they are penned in at night, and realistically unless one has a trained chicken tending dog or something, then the birds must be penned when not attended by someone close by. Also, chickens inside the coup / barn pretty much ALL winter as they won't go out in below zero temps, they would get frost biten quickly if left out by force, and won't lay any eggs much below zero anyway, and the eggs will freeze making them useless, .. so GTA winter pasture chickens don't exist except if they they get veggy scraps as a substitute livign indoors! On top of all that, all chickens have to get a certain amount of grain feed as it contains the calcium, grit, and food balance in order for the chickens to produce eggs daily and be healthy. The grasses add to the taste and the colour of the eggs, but it is not a complete diet on it's own.
To find pasture fed chickens you'll have to look or signs on the country roads, visit the farmers feed coops, and ask around. Small farms are not likely to publically advertise their eggs or birds for consumption much as only large large operations have to money to be regulated and liscenced - quite unfortunate as you will only find the purity and quality know as " pasture chickens and eggs " from the small farm. Sincerely, local GTA ( Whitchurch - Stouffville ) chicken farmer... with pasture chickens!
re: lolli5
So the following recent post is incorrect?
"About this time of year my wife and I were driving home along a back road on a Saturday and spotted an "Eggs" sign at the entrance to a farm. We were out of eggs so turned up the drive. "Look at the cat." my wife said, and I answered, "How many cats can you find in this picture?" This was an Amish farm. I'd guess that there were about twenty spotted cats thoroughly camouflaged in the barnyard against the snow.
There were also chickens running about as well. Most of them were in the barn though, where the family kept its stash of eggs. When we cracked them later, the yolks stood up like golf balls and were a bright reddish orange - so deep a colour that many would toss them. The taste was the best we encountered since moving to Bruce county.
Loose chickens forage very well in winter."
Lolli5: Can you give me an example or two of roads I should look on?
re: lolli5
I beg to differ. We keep chickens. Granted, not commercially, but still we usually have about 25 to 30 birds at any given time. They are fully pastured. Of course they go into a coop at night - that's where they sleep and they are protected from predators. But first thing in the morning, the door is opened and the chickens go out to forage all day. In the evening they all just naturally go back into the coop of their own free will - it's instinct for them to do so. No chicken-herding dogs are needed. They do wander quite freely all over our yard and do considerable damage to my flowerbeds, but I have fenced my veggie garden to protect that at least. In late fall, egg production begins to drop dramatically. There are always a hen or two that continue to lay an egg every day so we are never 100% without eggs, however. For some extremely strange reason, they began to start laying again with a vengeance around the end of December and we're getting well over a dozen eggs every single day right now. So yes, they do continue to lay eggs through the cold months. And if the weather is halfway not horrible, they will also come outside to wander around and scratch at any bare dirt. They always have grain-based feed available because even in the summer they need more food than they can find on their own. And at this time of year I'll occasionally pick up a box of vegetable trimmings from the local supermarket to give them some greens - as well as all the veggie scraps from my kitchen.
I sincerely wish I could supply all Hounds with my fresh eggs. They really spoil you for anything else. It's not entirely the freshness either - I'm quite sure it's about the pasturing. The more varied the diet of the hen, the more flavourful the eggs. And when they're getting lots of greens the yolks are neon. We sell excess eggs to our friends.
re: Nyleve
Can I be your friend too, Nyleve?
re: acd123
They're $2 a dozen. I have 4 dozen in the house right now. Heh heh heh.
re: lolli5
Hi there Lolli5. Do you sell your chickens by any chance? Or know anyone you can refer me to who sells their pastured birds?
re: Spobot
Chickens raised for egg production are a different breed than chickens for meat. You could buy retired egg producers, but they would be tough, good only for stock and stew.

It is such a pity about the brickworks.
I am also sad about Canberry Fair (corner of Watson on the Federal Hwy). It had gorgeous old buildings and some nice green spaces, and would be a lovely tourist spot for inner north dwellers. all it needs is a few cafes, a pub and some trinket shops. Much nicer than Gold Greek, which attracts zillions of people. yet it is going to be yet more units.
don't they ever wonder what all these people in wall-to-wall units are going to do with themselves, once all available space has been coverted into units?

Herricks Center Street PTA hosted the school's 50th Anniversary Celebration at the Jericho Terrace in Mineola. Over 160 guests enjoyed a fun-filled evening of dining, dancing, trivia contests, live entertainment and chances to win over 65 raffle baskets and 12 grand prizes worth a combined value of more than $10,000.
Prior to the beginning of the last Williston Park Village meeting, the village board held a public hearing to enact a new chapter of the village code entitled Public Nuisance.
On Dec. 9, a sold-out crowd of nearly 2,000 visited Adelphi University to hear 14-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps at its new Center for Recreation and Sports the day his book, No Limits: The Will to Succeed, was released.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Andrew Wiggins scored 16 of his 22 points in the second half, outplaying Jabari Parker down the stretch and helping No. 5 Kansas knock off fourth-ranked Duke 94-83 on Tuesday night.
Parker, a former prep star at nearby Simeon High School, had 27 points, nine rebounds and three steals in a spectacular homecoming. But it was his fellow freshman star that made the biggest plays in the final minutes of a taut thriller between two storied programs.
Wiggins drained a stepback jumper to give the Jayhawks an 85-81 lead with 1:33 to go, and then had a fast-break dunk after a steal by Perry Ellis. Wiggins held his arms out and yelled after the big jam.
Ellis finished with 24 points, and Wiggins also had 10 rebounds for the Jayhawks.

Turns out our crush on cute-as-a-button Emma Stone isn't just a girl thing, guys are hankering after the lovely lady too. In a recent poll by Askmen.com, Emma was voted the most popular choice for a celebrity girlfriend, beating Kate Upton and Jennifer Lawrence. Therefore, we thought it was high time we held our own unofficial poll. So we asked ourselves which male celebs we wouldn't mind having on our arm as we went home to meet the parents and made the following list. Don't agree? Let us know which celebs you think are boyfriend material in the comment box below.
Disclaimer: This is controversially a Gosling-free list. Apologies in advance.
Andrew Garfield
Emma Stone's real-life boyfriend has somehow morphed from geeky Brit-boy to bonafide Hollywood babe - without us even noticing. Plus, how great are these pics of him and Emma using the paparazzi for good?
Tom Hardy
Erm right, so this video of Tom Hardy rapping with his baby son strapped to his chest is not for the faint-hearted. Go ahead and watch it, but sit down first. We won't be held responsible for weakening-of-the-knee related injuries.
Jon Hamm
He's got the whole dark and brooding thing going on in Mad Men but in real life he's a super-funny guy, (yep that's him shimmying with Betty White down there). He's clearly obsessed with his longtime partner Jennifer Wesfeldt too, having been quoted as saying, "Jen is the love of my life." Plus there's also THIS, which always helps things along...
Idris Elba
Oof, be still our beating hearts. Whether he's playing the dark and mysterious Luther, or the dangerous Stringer Bell in The Wire, Idris has definitely got our undivided attention. Today's trailer release for Mandela: The Long Walk Home doesn't hurt either.
Rob Lowe
Is he getting better looking with age? Almost certaintly. And funnier too. Between Parks and Recreation and his turn as the frozen-faced plastic surgeon in Behind The Candelabra, we're hooked.
Nick From New Girl
Aimless, nihilistic, a bit squidgy round the middle and verging on functioning alcoholism, Nick is exactly the sort of guy we always imagined we'd never end up with, but somehow did. And we're perfectly happy thank you.
Prince Harry
Dating Harry would give you the perks of being a royal with none of the pressure K-Middy must feel on a daily basis. A weekend trip to Vegas is clearly off the cards but bopping around Glastonbury's Shangri-La until the wee hours is apparently still permitted. Just make sure you're not hungover for afternoon tea with the Queen.
Channing Tatum
I mean sure there's the whole Magic Mike thing. But then we saw 21 Jump Street and realised that Channing is hilarious too. Then there's this modellling shot from P Diddy's 2003 fashion collection....
Niall Horan
Less assuming than Harry Styles, with a cheeky smile to boot. Mark our word tweens, in 20 years time when the other 4 of One Direction have filled out and gone all saggy, adorable Niall will have grown into his looks and still be as spritely as a mountain goat.


text: A split LP by 2 of the better psyche folk bands in modern rock – Hush Arbors and Arbouretum – a team effort that makes sense stylistically on top of the conveniently alliterate band names! Hush Arbors' 5 songs kick it off in timeless, insistently melodic fashion. Arbouretum deliver 3 longer tracks to close, nicely akin to the preceding Hush Arbour tracks, though with more hypnotic vibe. Both bands have a nice bit of fuzz in the guitars. Great stuff! The Includes "Lovely Ghost", "Prayer Of Forgetfulness", "Up Yr Coast", "People & Places" and "The Sleeper" by Hush Arbors. Arbouretum's tracks includes "New Scarab", "The Black Sun" and "St Anthony's Fire". (Limited to 1000 copies. Includes download.) © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

I really enjoyed this Christmas card post of yours. Your cards are all lovely. I do a Christmas letter every year. I think cards are more special when you include updates and photos. I must admit, though, I have thought about ommitting the letter in the past, but I never have. It makes for a wonderful keepsake for my children since it includes all of our yearly highlights and such. One more thing, I love the witty lines in many of your posts. The one about you buying yourself a Christmas gift from Kenny made me laugh. And gotta say, once again, love your blog!

Oh, my Goodness!!! I cannot believe how many Christmas cards you are sending each year!! This is incredible how many friend you have!! Great!
And as I can see from those pictures, you don't change at all, but Kenny is thinner and thinner. Is it because of football? :-)

By Ashley Powers
Los Angeles Times
LAS VEGAS — The groom wore a blood-red tie, the bride a strapless blood-red gown.
The officiant emerged from a coffin.
The vampires skulked in the back of the chapel.
The guests were dumbfounded.
When Jacqueline Seidel and her boyfriend of 25 years decided to get married, she wanted something different. Vegas different. Something more daring than (yawn) dressing as Elvis and Marilyn Monroe.
A Star Trek-themed ceremony didn't pan out. Nuptials aboard the Treasure Island hotel pirate ship? At $3,000, no way. So Seidel ended up at the Viva Las Vegas chapel, which has carved out an unusual — and surprisingly popular — niche in the cutthroat Vegas betrothal business: Halloween-themed weddings.
The brainchild of an owner infatuated with stagecraft and the undead, the various spectral ceremonies available to couples feature a Count Dracula, a "Twilight" Edward, a zombie Elvis and a scythe-wielding Grim Reaper. (Insert marriage-equals-death joke here. Oh, and fork over $750.)
As outlandish as the ceremonies may be — a zombie groom once pretended to slurp up his bride's brain — they've drummed up business for the chapel as it battles with dozens of others here for a dwindling pool of brides and grooms.
Last year, Clark County, Nev., issued fewer than 92,000 marriage licenses, the lowest number since 1993. (Licenses peaked at more than 128,000 in 2004.) The competition is so ferocious that, a few years back, rival chapels accused each other of slashing tires and shouting death threats.
Other Vegas chapels offer Halloween-inspired nuptials, said Joni Moss, founder of the Nevada Wedding Association, but none with the theatricality of a haunted house. "They're putting on mini-stage-productions over there," she said. Take the chapel's "Rocky Horror Picture Show" package: The staff belts out "Time Warp" and a Dr. Frank-N-Furter performs both the ceremony and the song "Sweet Transvestite."
As Halloween has morphed into a holiday that gives adults an excuse to play dress-up, retailers have responded with pumpkin-infused libations and costumes that hug grown-up curves. So, too, has the wedding industry. Nationwide, it's now the most popular day in October to get married, according to the editor of wedding website The Knot.
Even Vegas chapels with no ghoulish options expect to see an uptick in business Monday. (When Halloween falls on a weekend, they are even more crammed with Cleopatras and Frankensteins saying "I do.") At Viva Las Vegas, a downtown chapel near a tattoo parlor and a strip club, about 45 couples are slated to exchange rings this Halloween. More couples will wed in the preceding days.
Seidel, 42, who lives in Perham, Minn., scheduled her vampiric ceremony for Oct. 18. She and her fiance, Dan Lubitz, started dating in high school, and he proposed a short time later. "We're too young," Seidel said then. So they waited. And waited.
Finally, when Seidel's brother got engaged, she and Lubitz decided it was time. "I didn't want a church wedding," she said, "maybe because we've been together for so long."
Seidel has been fascinated with creatures of the night since watching "Interview with the Vampire." A repeat Vegas tourist, she had smiled through a Stratosphere hotel show called "Bite," in which vampires bare fangs and breasts to a heavy metal soundtrack. Seidel learned that the show's aerialists also performed in the Viva chapel for a ceremony called "When Vampires Fly."
Viva Las Vegas Weddings, which opened about a decade ago, is the brainchild of Ron Decar. A former singer at the Tropicana hotel, Decar also sang at weddings. In his opinion, couples only had two options in Vegas: a suited celebrant or Elvis. So Decar offered over-the-top weddings that other chapels mostly pooh-poohed, at first.
From the get-go, he sold a "gothic wedding" package, mostly because Decar loves Halloween. As a kid, he'd turn his basement into a haunted space and charge neighbors a nickel to walk through. Now Decar often plays the Grim Reaper, using a vaguely British accent, and demands his employees embrace the scary — not sexy — side of Halloween.
"He says, 'If you want to be Little Red Riding Hood, you better be a dead Red Riding Hood,"' recalled photographer Millie Loewinsohn, who has worked at the chapel for years.
These days, about half of the ceremonies are traditional, Decar said. But of the themed offerings, the gothic wedding trails only the Elvis-pink Cadillac package in popularity. "06/06/06 was a great day for us. A lot of the other chapels were dead," said Decar, seemingly unaware of his own pun.
One afternoon this month, Decar checked on the accouterments he'd collected for Halloween weddings, including a 7-foot-tall Frankenstein monster and an animatronic version of "Exorcist" star Linda Blair.
"She talks and shakes, but I'm having problems getting her head to spin," said Decar, a lean, black-haired, somewhat persnickety man wearing a white Elvis jumpsuit from a wedding earlier that day.
About 1 in 4 weddings nationwide last year was themed, a sort of nuptial that tends to appeal to brides who want little to do with a church and a white dress. Newlyweds are older than in years past, more likely to pay for their own weddings and more desirous of a ceremony that reflects their tastes, said Anja Winikka, editor of The Knot.
Also, Halloween weddings are fun. Mostly. Decar had to say no to one couple who asked to drink actual blood.
Last year, a couple asked to be married at 1 p.m., the so-called "13th hour." The groom showed up with a large rod and some chicken feathers, photographer Loewinsohn said. Midceremony, he started chanting incoherently.
"The hair on my arms stood up," Loewinsohn said.
"I've never felt so bad after a wedding," said fellow photographer Kalin Ivanov, who preferred shooting another Halloween couple who were caked in fake blood. The bride's mother wore ghostly makeup, a sweat shirt that said "Zombie Lover" and a huge smile.
Seidel's evening ceremony began with a blast of fog and the boom of thunderclaps. Her dark-suited father escorted her down the aisle to a recording of maniacal laughter.
The groom beamed as his bride joined him in front of some tombstones and a propped-up coffin.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
At the sound, the casket creaked open and Dracula stepped out. Played by manager Brian Mills, he wore a black top hat and brandished a chalice of faux blood. The couple's dozen guests sat wide-eyed as he led Seidel and Lubitz through their "I do's."
"The rings you're about to exchange are like a vampire's life — eternal," Dracula said.
Seidel swallowed a laugh.
As she and Lubitz swapped rings and wedding-day promises, however, she started to choke up.
"Keep breathing," Dracula said. "You're doing great."
Together, the couple lighted a white candle. Then Dracula summoned the vampires. The black-sheathed aerialists emerged from the chapel's shadows and hooked themselves to a rope-and-pulley system. They spun with the flash and speed of a disco ball — to Def Leppard's "Love Bites."
The guests applauded. Dracula made Seidel and Lubitz vow to not be "a pain in the neck." Everyone laughed.
Then the newly married couple walked back down the aisle to the soundtrack from "Halloween."

LeBron James has become the second player to win four conference player of the month awards in one season.
Cleveland's All-Star forward was named the NBA Eastern Conference's top player for April. He also won it in November, January and March this season, and now has 11 overall.
Kevin Garnett won the award four times with Minnesota in 2003-04, his MVP season.
James averaged 29.9 points, 6.0 rebounds and 6.6 assists in seven games this month. He helped the Cavs finish 66-16 overall, 39-2 at home and earn the No. 1 overall playoff seed. Cleveland begins the playoffs against Detroit on Saturday.
Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki was the Western Conference's top player.

Through noncovalent modification of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with the dispersant of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), ZnO nanocrystals-coated MWNTs composite was fabricated. The electrostatic interaction mechanism is used to illustrate the formation of ZnO/MWNTs nanocomposite. The ZnO-coated MWNTs composite shows a small blue-shift absorption compared with pure ZnO nanomaterial and preserves the electronic energy states of MWNTs. The photocatalytic experiments exhibit that this composite has a higher photocatalytic activity than ZnO bulk material or the mechanical mixture of MWNTs and ZnO.
