History of Preston
Preston was formed from Norwich April 2, 1806.
The first settlement was made in 1787, by James GLOVER, who came from Norwich, Conn., his native place, and settled on lot 75, on the farm now owned and occupied by Samuel E. LEWIS, on Fly Meadow Creek, about three miles south of Preston Corners. He removed soon after 1800 to Montezuma, where he died. He built in 1789 the first grist-mill in the town, which is said also to have been the first in the county. It stood on the east bank of Fly Meadow Creek, about a quarter of a mile west of his residence. It, or one on its site, stood as late as about 1849. He opened in his house in 1788-9, the first store in the town, and probably, the first in the county, which he kept till his removal to Montezuma. The residence of Samuel E. Lewis was built by him as early as 1794, in which year his daughter Mary Ann, was born there. [French's Gazetteer states that Fanny BILLINGS, who was born July 16, 1796, was the first child born in the town. It is probably that the birth referred to was the first, certainly prior to the one here referred to.] This was certainly the first frame house in the town. Thus it is seen that many of the earlier events connected with the history of both the town and the county are associated with his settlement here.
James Glover was born Dec. 26, 1768, and married Alphena HOVEY, sister of Gen. Benjamin Hovey, an early settler in Oxford. He had nine children, most of whom were born after his removal to Montezuma, viz.: Mary Ann, born Nov. 23, 1796, who married William JOHNSON, (a Scotch Presbyterian clergyman, who lived a great many years, and died in Owasco, where from 1838 to 1863 or '4 he was pastor of the True Reformed Dutch Church of Owasco,) and died only a few years ago; Ursula M., born April 6, 1799, who married Henry TIFFT, and lived in various places, for some time in Albany, where he was connected with one of the State departments, but chiefly in Auburn, where both died; Justus S., born Feb. 21, 1802, who married a lady named CORNELL, of Penn Yan, where he lived and died, but is survived by his wife, who is now living in Eat Saginaw, Mich.; Eliza, born May 6, 1804; James B., born Sept. 14, 1807, who married and died in New Jersey; Harriet S., born Aug. 14, 1813, who was married late in life to Charles H. MERRIMAN, (who was for twenty-six years cashier of The National Bank of Auburn, and afterwards for one year its President,) and is now living in Auburn; Joseph O., born April 13, 1810, who is practicing law in Chicago, and has been for some years United States District Attorney for that district; Catharine A., born Dec. 28, 1816, who married DeWitt C. GAGE, a lawyer, with whom she is living in East Saginaw, Mich.; Wm. Johnson born May 2, 1820, who removed to Illinois, married and died there soon after; and a daughter who married George RATHBUN, a lawyer of some prominence in Auburn, where both died.
None o the descendants have lived in the county since his removal to Montezuma.
David FAIRCHILD came in 1795 and settled at Preston Corners, where William LEWIS now lives. He had three children, John, Amos, and a daughter who married Nathan SQUIRES. Fairchild and his sons were noted hunters and trappers. They removed to Plymouth and afterwards to the Holland Purchase. His daughter and her husband also moved west, first to Canandaigua, where they were living in 1813.
The following year (1796) Randall BILLINGS and Silas CHAMPLAIN from Connecticut: BILLINGS at Preston Center, on the south-east corner, on the farm now owned by George COVILLE, where he and his wife Lucy died, the latter, April 23, 1830, aged 73; and CHAMPLAIN on on the creek, one and one-half miles south-west of Preston Corners, where Porter SLATER now lives. BILLINGS had several children, among them, William, Henry, Asa, Lucy, Fanny, Nancy and Polly, all of whom are dead. CHAMBERLAIN afterwards removed to Pharsalia. He had no children of his own living. His nephews, John, Charles and Lodowick CRANDALL came in a little latter from Connecticut, with their mother, a widow, who, in 1798, contracted the first marriage in the town with Capt. LYON, from whom Lyon Brook, near Norwich, derives its name. John and Charles lived to be of age, but Lodowick went to work on the river above Norwich shortly before he attained his majority and died of fever. His brother John caught the fever from him and also died. Charles married a WAITE and removed to Phelps and died there.
David ECCLESTON came in from Stonington, Conn., in the spring of 1797, and settled on 100 acres two miles south of Preston Corners, at Preston Center, which is very near the geographical center of the county. He died there in 1845, while sitting in his chair, at the age of 88 years. His wife died in Norwich a few years after at the age of 90. He came with his wife, Catharine FANNING, of Stonington, Conn., and six children, David, Washington, Frederick, Hannah, Charles, and one other daughter. David married Polly B., daughter of Dow BURDICK, and settled opposite his father, where he resided till well advanced in years, when he removed to Norwich, where he died Aug. 30, 1872, aged 87. His wife died in Preston May 20, 1847, aged 57. He afterwards married Sally B. -----, who died in Norwich May 4, 1876, aged 71.

Several children are living, Hosea, Ann, wife of Charles WATTS, Ledyard, Uriel and Minerva, all in Norwich. Hannah married Joseph MARSH and both she and her husband lived an died in Norwich, the former some fifteen years ago and the latter Aug. 3, 1859, aged 85. Her children subsequently removed from the county. Charles married Mary LEWIS and settled on what is known as the ASHCRAFT farm, a half mile south of the homestead. He afterwards removed to Oxford village and died there Dec. 26, 1873, aged 78. His widow is still living in Oxford, aged 75. Three children are living, Charles H. and Noyes B. in Oxford, the former a dentist and the latter a druggist, and Harriet C., wife of Leroy ECCLESTON, her cousin, in Afton.
Settlements were made in 1799 by Jonas MARSH and Colonel Gurdon and Dudley HEWITT. MARSH came from Massachusetts, and located at Preston Center on the north-west corner, where Dudley BROWN now lives, and opened there in 1800 the first inn in the town. He afterwards removed to Pharsalia and died there May 21, 1847, aged 76. His children were Nancy, who married Erastus BROWN of Pharsalia, where they settled and lived a good many years and finally went west; Sibley, who lived in Pharsalia and died in the insane department of the county house in Preston, August 14, 1848, aged 49; Shepard, Stephen, Tyler, and Sally, who married Henry BROWN, brother of Erastus, all of whom went to Pennsylvania; Ursula, who died in Pharsalia of scarlet fever, unmarried; and Sophia, who married ---- SECORD and died in Pharsalia.
The HEWITTs were brothers and came from the New England States. Gurdon settled where the County house now stands. He afterwards removed to Oxford and bought a tavern stand on Fort Hill, and subsequently to Owego, where he died. His son Gurdon was prominently connected with a bank in Owego. His daughter Charlotte married a lawyer in Oxford and afterwards removed from thence. Dudley settled a mile east of the center, on the farm afterwards owned by Ephraim WELLS, but which has since been cut up. He married after coming here a woman in Connecticut, and subsequently removed to Steuben county.
Capt. Stephen BROWN and Simon TURNER settled in the town about 1800. BROWN came from Rowe, Massachusetts, and located about a mile west of the Center, on the farm one-half of which is now owned by Dr. Thomas DWIGHT of Preston, and the other half by Wells CRUMB, where he died March 5, 1841, aged 76, and Sarah, his wife, March 22, 1846, aged 80.

He died July 8, 1879, by drowning in about four inches of water in the brook near his residence, to which it is supposed he went for the purpose of washing himself, and being very lame stumbled and fell, striking his head upon the stones, the fall rendering his unconscious. His wife preceded him in death several years. He left four children, among them Captain Daniel W. Turner of the 114th N. Y. Vols., now residing in Steamboat Rock, Ill.

George CRARY, the death of whose infant child is said to have been the first in the town; and
William McALPINE, who was the first teacher in the town.
Merchants:- Ebenezer HALL, of Massachusetts, sent his son and a man named PELTON to open a store here, about 1830. They did business here but a few years. They are believed to have been the first merchants at the Corners. They traded in the building next south of the hotel, which is now occupied by George SMITH, the blacksmith. Peter ELY afterwards kept a small grocery for a short time. Daniel NOYES, son of Judge John Noyes, traded here four years, from 1837. There has been no store of any consequence here since. A few goods are kept in the bar-room of the hotel by the proprietor, Mr. NOYES. The post-office is also kept there. Charles W. POWERS, the present Postmaster was appointed in 1873.
Physicians:- The first physician who practiced in this locality was Dr. Alexander KELSEY, who came from New Boston, N.H., his native place, about 1805, and settled about a mile west of Preston Corners, on the farm which is owned in part by Edwin Kelsey and in part by Charles W. POWERS. He practiced here till about 1813, when he removed to Monroe county, where he was killed by the fall of a tree while riding out to visit a patient. He was probably the first physician in the town.
The first physician to locate at the Corners was Dr. William MASON, from whom they were once known as Mason's Corners. He came from Windham county, Conn., about 1809. He had studied medicine in Connecticut, but this was his first field of practice. He continued practice here till 1853, when failing health compelled him to relinquish it, and he removed that year to Norwich village to live with his son, William N., where he died Jan. 13, 1860, aged 73. His wife died in Preston in 1853, and that bereavement was the immediate cause of his removal to Norwich. They had three children, William N., a lawyer, who married Sarah M., daughter of George A. CARY, son of Anson Cary, one of the first settlers in Oxford, with whom he is now living in Norwich; Harriet B., who married Dr. D. P. PANCOST, of Camden, N.J., where they settled and are still living; and Lydia Amelia, who died at the age of 14 years. Dr. Mason represented this county in the Assembly in 1820-22. Dr. Mason came in with his father, General James Mason, who brought in a large family and settled just east of Preston Corners, where he died Sept. 10, 1820, aged 61. His wife, Abigail, died in the house which forms a part of the residence of Edwin KELSEY May 8, 1836, aged 74. Julia, widow of Deacon Phineas ATWATER, of Guilford, now living at Preston Corners is the only member of the General's family living. Dr. Mason occupied the house in which Dr. Thomas DWIGHT now resides.
Dr. Thomas DWIGHT was born in Cincinnatus, Sept. 1, 1817. He studied medicine with Dr. William MASON at Preston Corners, and was graduated from Geneva Medical College in February, 1847. He commenced practice at Preston Corners in 1845, and has since practiced there.
DeWitt C. CRUMB, a native of Preston, son of Ralph Crumb, studied medicine with Dr. Thomas DWIGHT, and practiced here from 1871 to 1873, the first year in company with Dr. Dwight. He removed to Otselic, where he is now practicing.

Fights against entrenched and powerful forces are sometimes waged from highly improbable places. As a case in point: Brian Concannon is taking on the United Nations from the sanctuary of a quiet former convent in Andrew Square.
Concannon runs the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti, an advocacy group for legal rights for Haitians. The institute's current fight, one that is garnering worldwide attention, is for the UN to take responsibility for the scourge of cholera unleashed in Haiti after the earthquake of January 2010.

Build Your Network
We often hear people say 'I know I should be keeping in touch and building my network, but...' And, I'll confess, I'm not much better at it than anyone else.
An article in the September Issue of Inc made me think again about the amount of effort I put in, though. In it, they describe an afghani interpreter who works at the Kabul Military Training Center, facilitating communication between the US and Afghani armies. He's also pursuing a degree in business administration.
In the article he says: "his success on the job depends upon building a close rapport with US Army officials. "I still have a connection with even those who have gone back to the States". If he can build and maintain a network, I can and you can to.
Attitude to LinkedIn
I'm always suprised with some of my friends attitudes to building a network on LinkedIn. Some of them seem to think that LinkedIn will require the same amount of time they put in to Facebook. Of course debating the value of the time they are sinking into Facebook is a whole other story - but there's a perception that LinkedIn is just as much work.
Has anyone else found that?

Just when you hope democrats open their mouths to speak–they clam up, possibly afraid to invoke the work "deficit." Even when it's they who are being fiscally responsible in cutting the "deficit."
..the $122 billion improvement on the deficit "is the biggest one-year nominal drop in the deficit that has ever occurred." We probably won't see headlines blaring, "U.S. achieves biggest one-year deficit reduction in American history," but that just happens to be the case.
So the budget deficit is actually less than projected? It's less than the Bush budget deficit of 2009? Where are the voices of fiscal prudence in the democratic party?

-- John Wall scored 19 points and the Washington Wizards beat the Phoenix Suns 88-79 on Wednesday night for their first victory in the Valley in more than six years.
Nene had 17 points and eight rebounds, Kevin Seraphin added 16 points and Trevor Ariza scored 14 for the Wizards, who won for the fourth time in five games. Washington improved to 6-26 away from home, tying Charlotte, Philadelphia and Sacramento for the fewest road wins in the NBA.
The Wizards played without center Emeka Okafor, who missed his first game this season with an illness. Washington snapped a five-game losing streak in Phoenix and swept the Suns for the first time since 2001-02.
Wesley Johnson and Goran Dragic scored 18 points apiece and Luis Scola added 11 off the bench for the Suns, who have lost five of six.

Color Story: What Do You Think Inspired This Space?
The Color Cure
We've been thrilled by all the great color submissions we've received during The Color Cure, it's so exciting! And this story is a fun one: a mostly neutral living room in a Providence, RI 1930's Cape was lacking a little life until the newly-married homeowners had an AHA! moment and discovered the family of accent colors that would make their room pop. What do you think inspired this space? Hint...
Want to know where they found their inspiration? Hint: It's printed and it calls for a gathering of loved ones for celebration...
From Joanna of Providence, Rhode Island:
My husband & I purchased our 1200 sq ft 1930's Cape a little over 2 years ago. After months of renovating (expanding wall openings, repairing electrical, stripping YEARS of wallpaper) we finally decided on a cool, neutral palette for the furniture, rugs, walls & trim. What we lacked was color. We felt we had the color tones down to a science; the greys, browns & tans. As self-proclaimed color lovers, we simple couldn't narrow it down. Often we would retreat to our bedroom because there was simply no desire to hangout downstairs. It was blah city. Months went by, we planned our wedding & got married last October, when finally we had an AHA! moment. We came across our wedding invitation amongst the clutter that tends to build when one is in wedding planning mode, and realized we hit the jackpot! Blues, yellows, black & white, even a little red. This was it, our new palette! We took both the actual colors and tones in each color family and just ran with it! What we got was more than just a finished interior (let's be honest, it's never finished!), but warm, casual living/dining rooms where we actually found ourselves having meals & napping on the couch rather than running upstairs. We've also got a daily reminder of one pretty spectacular day!
Thanks so much for your story, Joanna!

I love that invitation! Very unique! Such a wonderful story too. House tour? ;-)
Wow! Primary colors!
I really like how many pieces of art/photos fit on those shelves above that hutch! So functional!
Thanks for sharing!
Can you do a house tour please. Want to know where you got that rug in your living room! Beautiful space and would love to see more of it! Also, love the invitations and the inspiration!
I'm with Tracy333, where did you get the rug......and does it shed much?
Thanks folks!
@ Tracy333 & tuff2bqueen: The rug is actually West Elm (jute), not sure if they still carry it as I purchased it approx 2 years ago. The shed factor? It exists. We have a VERY active Blue Heeler puppy and well, she does figure 8's. A LOT. It's nothing that a vacuum doesn't help once a week though.
@ Sherri Eakin: We loved it! Had such a great time creating it with stationary duo (and husband & wife) Original Pear (www.originalpear.com). They've had many orders of similar designs since! Thank you!
I really love the wall in the first picture!
Would you share the main wall color you used?
@KikWilliams - the color is Stingray by Ben. We've had several friends borrow it. It's a beautiful grey/green.

Chapter Twenty Five2 Reviews
1 1/2 weeks later.
"Jesus." I sighed as i walked through the door of our suite.
"Hey!" I was greet by my best friends/ room mates and their respective boy friends.
"How was your trip?"
"How are your uncles?"
"Married, engaged, or soon to be, pregnant and mothering."
"How are you?"
"Aw. Well thats what wer're here for." The three of them hugged me. "We missed you."
"Gah. It was only a week and a half, but it felt like ages. I missed you guys more than you'll ever know!"
A pair of arms wrapped around my waist from the back.
"I missed you too." Was whispered in my ear.
I closed my eyes, leaned my head back against his shoulder and swayed slowly with him, melting into him little by little. I reveled in the sensation of being in Ryan's arms again, his feel, his scent, his breathing, his heartbeat, everything.
I had missed him while I had been gone. Before I left, I called him to thank him for the flowers, but fearing I would give into his charm too easily, I rushed off the phone.
I snapped back to reality, opened my eyes and gently pushed away from him. In doing so, his face fell.
I turned my back on him, a small smile playing on my lips and walked to the kitchen area. "Ok boys, can you leave so I can have alone time with my girls?" I asked getting out the milk, Trix and Lucky Charms.
I heard 4 groans.
"Look, I haven't seen them in a week and a half! I missed them."
"We haven't seen you either..." Matt pointed out.
"True." I took a bite of my cereal. "But thats not the same thing. I love them more than I love you."
"Ouch." Brendon said putting his hand on his heart. "That hurts right here." Hi lightly tapped his chest.
Brendon, Will and Matt all moved to Emily, Lane and Meg, respectively, and started good byeing as Ryan moved toward me.
He stood in front of me, his expression unreadable, as he studied the floor. But when his gaze lifted to meet mine, I was shocked to see ssome of the sparkle in his honey eyes gone. It was replaced by a small sadness and it slightly broke my heart.
I moved towards him and wrapped my arms around his slim waist in a hug. He must've not expected it because it took him a second to wrap his arms around me. As I leaned my forehead against his chest, he leaned down to my ear and whispered.
"You can't resist me for long." It was sad yet seductive. Before he straightened up again, he lightly nipped my ear. It was really a good thing that I was holding onto him because my knees just about gave out. He straightened up and kissed the top of my head. After I gained my composure, I released him from my grasp.
"Bye." I said and gave him a small smile.
"Bye." He nodded and back away, then turned aroudn and followed the other boys out the door.
Lane, Meg and Emily walked towards me.
"So whats going on between you two?" Lane asked motioning to the door.
I sighed and leaned heavily on the counter.
"I dont know. I dont know how much longer I can resist him. I love him and I know, I know I shouldn't, but I can't help myself." I closed my eyes and shook my head. "What happens if he pulls the same thing? I don't know if my heart can take anymore hurt."
There was a temporary silence.
"You know, we could hardly sleep while you were gone." Emily laughed.
"What? Why?" I asked confused.
"That boy is so damn persisent. I dont think he understands the words /not home/." Lane laughed along with Emily.
"No!" I gasped.
"Yes. The phone was ringing off the hook and he even dropped by a few times to make sure that you were actually /not home/." Meg said.
I shook my head folding my arms over my chest and leaning my lower back against the counter.
It was silent for a while except for the sounds of them moving around the kitchen to get food or other things.
"What should I do?" I whispered staring off into space with wide eyes like I do when I am feeling helpless or confused.
The three of them gathered in fornt of me, Meg and lane taking my hands.
"Honestly?" Emily asked.
"Honestly." I nodded looking her in the eyes.
"Honestly," She looked between Meg and Lane. "Honestly, we think you should give him another chance."
The two sister nodded in agreement to what the eldest of us said.
"Honestly." I sighed. "I think you guys are right."
Dedicated to Meg and Lane. They turned 17 today!!!! yay! happy birthday my loves! Also, read hte author note and respond. I might take a break from this story for a couple days until I get alot of ideas. Please review the author's note and tell me your ideas because I'm not continuing until I get more!

I've tried all sorts of calendars. Dry erase boards are too messy, the paper kind you buy at the local grocery/book store don't give enough room to write and those wallet/planner calendars are never where I need them when I need to jot an important something down. Then, genius struck! (Well, sorta).
I came upon this neatest little article entitled 'Customed Calendars' in the Home section of the January 2010 edition of the Real Simple magazine.
I was inspired!
I like the idea of making a calendar that is all my own which is not only a peg board, but a place where I can quickly jot down the next doctor's appt, etc.
Functional and fabulous!
All That You'll Need:
-Ribbon (2 rolls of 15 feet will leave you with a little left over)
-Tacks (I bought mine at Hobby Lobby but will look for some smaller ones for the future)
-Measuring Tape
-Cork Board (mine has a white wooden frame!)
-White Paper (or any color of your choosing)
1. Measure the length of one ribbon against the height of your board and then cut five more to match. These will be placed vertically on your calendar with a tack at each end, thus making the "seven days of the week". They should be just long enough to fit the board, don't give them much slack... we don't want a sloppy looking work of art!
2. Remember to measure ahead of time for a crisp display. For the size of my board and ribbon, each row needed to be three inches apart.
3. Ta-da! You're almost there!
4. This project was impossible for me to do in one sitting with my four month old baby girl, so several 'nap times' later :), this was what I had. The whole endeavor took two weeks! But no worries, without interruptions this is a cinch.
5. Six vertical and five horizontal rows of cute red and white checkered ribbon (I thought it was fitting for my Fall/Winter theme). Now, onto the tacks! You'll need to secure the ribbon to place, but placing a tack at every 'intersection' would be too much. See how I did it instead? It works great!
6. I'm planning on giving my calendar a fun new look every month (new ribbon, new paper) and I hope to get more creative with every try, but for now, I'm using white paper for my days of the month.
7. After a while, I decided to cut my paper down so that I could see the cork board, you don't have to but I just like the look of it.
8. Finally, write your numbers, days of the week and month, then add a little flair!
9. Don't buy decorations, use what you have laying around! Its more affordable and lots more fun. I cut up an old Christmas card to frame my 'December' and picture of the Holy Family, as well. Actually, all of my decorations were from last year's Christmas cards I had received from family and friends. I'm so glad I saved them!
We can't forget that Christmas is all about the celebration of Jesus Christ's birth, the true reason for our holiday festivities. Do you see my 25th of December? =)
And the angel said to the sheperds, " Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which shall be to all the people; for today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you, who is Christ the Lord." -The Gospel of Luke 2:10-11

If there was good news in losing Kane Wittorff to injury in late April, it's that it gave the Milford volleyball team plenty of time to figure out how to play minus its senior star.
Almost a month later, the Scarlet Hawks look like they've figured it out, beating Newton North, 3-2, Sunday in a nonleague match between teams with high hopes for the tournament. Pairings for the MIAA tournament will be announced Tuesday.


text: Their first game to use the jaw-dropping Unreal Engine 4, Fornite is Epic Games crack at the survival genre. This sandbox game is all about scavenging gear and building fortifications by day and keeping out waves of nasties by night. Its co-op too, meaning players can loot together, build together, and defend together, all with greater muscle. Survival games have been done to death, but with Epic Games in charge, you know theyll give it a unique spin.

At the beginning of this month, we teased the upcoming Domo icon pack from kovdev, better known as our friend and occasional DL Show participant Dave Kover. His icon packs are well known throughout the Android community, and Domo will certainly add to his reputation as an icon artist. (more…)
A Quick Look at Domo, Kovdev's New Icon Pack, Plus That Wallpaper You Keep Asking About
"What's that wallpaper?" "Wallpaper please." "I do want that wallpaper." I think someone even recreated it from the video. Yes, I'm talking about the wallpaper I shouldn't have exposed in last night's AcDisplay video. Never have I seen such a response to a wallpaper that I wasn't allowed to share. But that's how it always works, right?
Thankfully, we can finally talk about that wallpaper, plus the app it came from. That app is called Domo, and it's the latest icon pack from our friend, Dave Kover (kovdev). (more…)
Top 5 Muzei Live Wallpaper Extensions: March 2014
Here at DL, we have become fans of Roman Nurik's latest creation, the Muzei live wallpaper. It lets us forget all of those hours of heated internal debate on deciding which wallpaper looks the hottest, and has essentially claimed its rightful place on most of our home screens.
Yet still, Nurik has only partially solved the whole problem with his newest app, because even now, we have to decide between hordes of different third party Muzei extensions, a problem I think we don't mind having. The app displays wallpapers in such a beautiful way and there are so many good extensions already, that it's quite fun seeing each outdo each other.
Which are the best five for the month of March? Let's check them out.
Kovdev's Lumos Icon Pack Hits Google Play, Over 1450 Icons Included
If you caught Wednesday night's Droid Life Show, and last week's Droid Life Show, you might have heard us mention an upcoming icon pack from kovdev, titled Lumos. The pack is now live on Google Play and it's the best way to breathe new life into a device. As long as you are sporting a third party launcher such as Apex, Nova, or Action Launcher that allows the applying of icon packs from Google Play, then you will definitely want to check this one out. (more…)
Nox – The Newest Icon Pack From kovdev, It's Really Hot
Icon packs, when coupled with third party launchers, are a quick and painless way of giving your device a new look and feel. Our good friend Dave Kover, aka kovdev, released yet another icon pack that we feel could be one of his best yet. His previous works, which we have featured before are Tersus, Lustre and also Stark. The newest pack is called Nox and it brings a very interesting vibe to anyone's homescreen. (more…)
Kovdev Launches Stark to Google Play, Another Icon Pack
Last night, kovdev published a brand new icon pack titled Stark to Google Play. The pack is colorful and full of cleanly squared off icons, over 850 in total. If you haven't bought one of Dave Kover's packs before, you will find that he is constantly releasing bi-weekly updates and also takes icons requests. If you notice your favorite app isn't already in there, you can politely ask for it. On top of the icons, Stark also comes with a pack of 10 wallpapers, each complimenting the icons quite well.
The pack costs $1.79 on Google Play, a reasonable price for some very high quality icons and wallpapers. Go grab it and let us know what you think.

Giveaway: Win One of Twenty kovdev Versicolor Icon Packs
Our friends over at kovdev recently launched their newest work, Versicolor to Google Play. Kovdev is responsible for great work like Lustre and Tersus, that we have featured countless times in our screenshots here on the site.
Versicolor brings that same clean, minimal-feel, but with a touch of color surrounding the borders of each icon. There are different color packs to choose from and some are even free (like DL Pink), so finding one that fits your tastes is easier than ever. As a bonus, each different color pack comes with matching wallpapers.
They have offered up 20 of their new icon packs for our readers, so let's skip the nonsense and get right to it. (more…)
Giveaway: Win One of Ten Tersus "HD" Icon Packs From kovdev (Update: Winners Picked)
Last month, we gave away ten sets of updated Lustre icons that look gorgeous on these new high-res displays. Today, kodev has updated his highly popular Tersus pack and we have another ten copies to give out. Each individual icon has been upscaled, by hand, to XXHDPI for the ultimate clarity. Inside the pack are over 700 custom icons, which also go along with a fantastic set of wallpapers that many of you constantly email us about. And before you ask, the above pictured wallpaper is in this pack.
Ready to win one? Let's do this. (more…)

Westfield E4000 (les paul style) Reviews
I bought this guitar from Johnny roadhouse music off the internet for £154.99, it was my first guitar and i still want to play it every so often when I've recently got a Jackson Warrior. I read lots of good reviews so decided to get one.
This was my first guitar, and i still love it, it looks amazing for the price you pay, quality is top notch, original sound is good through a bigger amp, replace the pickups you have a real gibson clone. I think the balance of the guitar needs working on though.Dan J rated this unit on 2007-01-24.
I bought this guitar from Sound Control (England) for £99. It was my starter guitar, so i was not looking to spend much, it also offered the style i wanted.
Its good for the price, but as they say "you only get what you pay for". I have nothing much to compare this guitar with as its my 1st, but after playing a pacifica for a few weeks then this i must say its slightly harder. The weight is also pretty anoying. But as the looks go and as a starter, its good for me, and probably for you. When buying, try and swindle as much out of the salesman as possible. This includes, a strap, or lead as much as possible! because you could go elsewhere with your cash and buy one of many starters from another store.Liam Southall rated this unit on 2004-11-20.

Audi has revealed more information about its new A1 baby hot hatch.
It will intially only be available as a three-door, with the range starting at around £13,000. An Audi spokesperson said the best selling Mini in the range is the Cooper and this is where the A1 will be aiming both barrels, hence the £13k price point. This means a realistic on-the-road price of £15k, once a few essential extras are added. Audi has no desire to go any further downmarket with the car, so it's not planning any Mini 'First' type models with the A1. Its premium position in the supermini market will be preserved.
The brand expects many buyers to go for the premium options, so a fully-equipped example of a top A1 version could end up costing well over £20,000, once it's left the showroom. Much of the mechanicals will be shared with the new VW Polo (crowned Car of the Year today), although the badging on the A1 will not reveal the size of the engine fitted. Audi want to get away from using engine size as a model designator as engines will be getting smaller in the future and buyers don't like showing to the world they are downsizing.
Sales will begin at the end of 2010 but the real sales push will be in 2011. Audi realises the maintenance package BMW has been offering on its cars is highly attractive to buyers and so want to introduce a similar scheme themselves on the A1. Expect a three-year servicing package to cost around £500.
