Merry Christmas Eve
Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!! Here's hoping this update finds each of you enjoying a blessed Christmas holiday period. I'm not going to take much of your time, as we have light snow to track on this Christmas eve. But, I'm also looking briefly down the weather road.
Our afternoon mix of light rain and light snow changes over to a period of light snow into the evening, lasting into the wee hours of Christmas morning across the east. Lots of coatings to near an inch are possible after the sun goes down. The best chance remains across the north. Will everyone see the entire ground covered? Probably not.
Road conditions will go downhill after the sun sets as temps crash through the 20s from northwest to southeast. Winds will be gusty, giving us single digit wind chills by Christmas morning.
Another light snow and flurry maker rolls in here Christmas night into Tuesday…
That's falling into an arctic air mass pressing in from the northwest, so whatever falls will be powdery in nature. Light accumulations are very possible.
From there, we watch two systems coming in behind that. One impacting our weather by Thursday and Friday, with the other coming quickly behind that next weekend. The GFS with these two…
With the arctic air in place, the Thursday/Friday system is likely to be a light event. That's especially the case with the next system right on it's heels as bitterly cold air spills in.
The European Model handles that just a little differently, but has a nice snowfall…
Temps for the week ahead are MUCH colder than normal, with temps that can hit the single digits. By New Year's Weekend, temps may tank. The Canadian last night was showing bitter cold, now the GFS and European are too…
Back to today's weather. While it won't be a true "White Christmas" for most of us, that doesn't keep us from singing along and tracking our Christmas Eve light snows…

Light Snow For Christmas Eve
Good Sunday and Merry Christmas Eve! If you know anything about your friendly weatherdude, you know I am a Christmas nut, so I always love this time of year. Throw a little snow into it all and I go into full 5 year old Christmas CB mode. 🙂
I have no changes in the overall thought process for how things roll out there today. Here's a recap:
- Our day starts with the potential for some slick spots on area roads, but the main action won't arrive until this afternoon and evening.
- Temps spike ahead of the precipitation moving in, with eastern Kentucky hitting 40.
- A mix of rain and snow quickly develops with a rapid switch to light snow across the west and central parts of the state. That switch waits a little longer in the east.
- A period of light to moderate snow then sweeps across the state, leaving behind light accumulations into Christmas morning.
- With wet roads and temps crashing quickly through the 20s, icy roads are likely to develop Christmas Eve.
- How much snow will actually fall? Here's the Latest Call For Snowfall:
The lines are just there to provide a rough estimate on where the best accumulations setup. There may be some pockets of lower and higher amounts showing up within all that.
That's not a lot of snow, but it can cause some big travel issues after dark.
Flurries carry us into Christmas Morning, with a very cold day taking shape. Clouds will try to break somewhat, but another system is zipping in here Christmas night and Tuesday,
You can see this well on the Hi Res NAM…
The 12km NAM is also picking up on that and another one right after it…
Don't be surprised if both of those don't put down some 1″ snows around here.
The next system arrives by Thursday and Friday and may become a bigger snow producer around here. The models have shown this consistently for a while now…
Similar systems try to follow that up for New Year's weekend into the first week of 2018.
In addition to the snow threat… the pattern features brutal air continuing to take control of much of the country. The Canadian goes crazy with the cold before we end the year…
I will have updates later today, so check back. Merry Christmas Eve and take care.

The Tigers won the national championship last year and as promised, Auburn bestowed raises upon its head coach and all of the assistants. Head coach Gene Chizik will now be earning $3.5 million per year (up to $4.5 million with incentives).
Chizik has had an interesting and diverse last few years, to say the least. And I'm not sure there's a better explanation other than assuming he sold his soul to the devil. Because two and a half years ago, his future looked very different. It looked like his job was possibly going to be on the line at Iowa State after losing 10 straight to close out the 2008 season at 2-10. Chizik had just completed his second year as head coach of the Cyclones and had won just FIVE total games in that time. Yet, despite his 5-19 record over those two seasons, he somehow was rewarded with a new job. He was hired by Auburn as their head coach on December 13, 2008 and saw his pay increase to $1.9 million per year. The following year in 2010 after going 8-5, he received a pay raise and an extension giving him $2.1 million a year plus incentives. Because Chizik was still a big question mark, incentives remained a significant part of his contract and they quickly added up to $1.3 million thanks to last year's championship run. As a result Chizik's salary climbed to $3.5 million in 2010. And now in 2011, Chizik stands with a 22-5 record, and has proven himself enough to satisfy the Auburn decision-makers and get that $3.5 million in writing as guaranteed money. I think we can all agree he signed his name in blood somewhere along the line.
And just as important as Chizik is offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn whose speedy but simply offense is huge key to Auburn's success. Malzhan, by the way, turned down a head coaching position at Vanderbilt supposedly worth up to $3 million a year in order to remain with the Tigers. Instead, he received a hefty increase in salary to $1.3 million, which makes him the highest paid assistant coach in college football and more than doubles his previous salary.

PHOENIX – Rep. Martha McSally was trying to make a sale.
The Arizona Republican ― the party establishment's pick to replace retiring GOP Sen. Jeff Flake in November's election ― was talking to a voter as part of a phone bank operation at her campaign office here. The voter, an older man, had received a mailer from former state Sen. Kelli Ward ― McSally's main rival in the Aug. 28 GOP primary ― attacking McSally's commitment to gun rights.
"I actually have my Glock [firearm] with me in the office today," McSally said, before referencing her military past. The first U.S. woman to pilot a fighter jet in combat, she flew A-10 Warthogs that attacked the Taliban in Afghanistan.
"I've shot the biggest gun of anybody in Congress," she told the man.
Hanging up the phone, McSally hit a bell on the table to signal she had won over another voter. She's been doing a lot of that lately as the front-runner in a three-candidate dash to the right in the desert, where each of the primary contenders claims to run with the backing and encouragement of President Donald Trump.
Vying with McSally and Ward ― an arch-conservative who failed to topple Sen. John McCain (R) in a 2016 primary race ― is former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. He's the anti-immigration leader who received a pardon from Trump after his conviction for ignoring a federal court's order to stop violating the civil rights of Latino citizens.
The outcome of this year's primary could determine which party controls the U.S. Senate next January. National Republicans believe either Ward or Arpaio would lose to Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, the all-but-certain Democratic nominee to replace Flake. Republicans have a 51-49 advantage in the Senate, and a Sinema victory is essential to Democratic hopes of retaking the chamber.
Fortunately for allies of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), it's been McSally, a one-time swing-district moderate who has never publicly revealed if she voted for Trump in 2016, who has broken away from the pack. While she once called Trump "disgusting" and condemned the then-GOP presidential nominee following the release of the "Access Hollywood" tape in which he bragged about committing sexual assault, she now proudly features him in TV ads.
She and her allies have swamped Arizona's airwaves with commercials emphasizing her new-found friendship, along with her military background and support for border security. Her two opponents, meanwhile, have battled one another over the same slice of the GOP electorate while trying in vain to win the president's attention.
McSally's likely victory on Tuesday shows how establishment Republicans can thrive in GOP's Trump era: play up popular base issues like border security, keep the president close and hope for a little luck.
But Republicans also worry that McSally's moves to win the primary may poison her chances in November against a Democratic opponent who has been free to spend millions introducing herself to voters. After Tuesday's primary, McSally will have little time to pivot or restock her campaign resources.
"Clearly, McSally's people saw this was Trump's primary. She hugged on to Trump," said Mike Noble, a GOP pollster in Arizona. "They've done a much better job of adapting, and they had the resources to adapt."
As for Sinema, he said: "She's defined herself. And so when the attacks actually come, do they just bounce off?"
Noble's firm, OH Predictive Insights, conducted a poll last week showing McSally leading in the GOP race with 47 percent of the vote, compared to 27 percent for Ward and just 13 percent for Arpaio. Most undecided voters were breaking to McSally, and with many voters having already cast their ballots ― Arizona allows early mail-in balloting ― it's difficult to see either opponent catching her.
The second-term congresswoman began warming up to Trump even before she announced her Senate run. She stepped up her Fox News appearances and made sure to praise Trump when she was on the air. She dropped her co-sponsorship of a bill aimed at helping DACA recipients, and now brags about voting with Trump 97 percent of the time. She talks about ending "chain migration" and the diversity visa lottery – two top priorities of Trump and immigration hawks in his administration.
"These are all things Trump and I are working on together," McSally said in a brief interview. "[Ward] is carrying around a cardboard cutout of the president. I'm in the Oval Office getting things done."
She also insisted her alliance with Trump was more than one of convenience and touted his economic stewardship. Arizona voters, she predicted, "are going to have the question: Am I better off than I was two years ago? And the answer is very clear."
"I am partnering with President Trump," she said. "And I'm going to keep partnering him through Election Day."
While Trump has not endorsed her, he has praised her on occasion at bill signings and other events. Those shout-outs are now crucial in her TV ads.
"My friend, Martha McSally, she's the real deal," Trump says in one of the ads. "She's tough."
McSally-aligned groups have spent over $5 million on ads during the primary, compared to just over $400,000 by Ward and a super political actions committee supporting her, according to a source tracking media buys. Arpaio hasn't spent anything on television.
The massive spending gap has left both opposing campaigns hoping against hope for a Trump intervention. But Republicans following the race don't expect him to wade in with an endorsement in the race ― he's praised all three contenders in the past ― in part because any direct intervention will alienate at least some of his allies. (The Ward campaign initially agreed to an interview, then stopped responding to requests for comment. The Arpaio campaign did not respond to a request for comment.)
In an interview with a local radio host on Tuesday, Ward linked McSally to McCain and Flake ― both frequent Trump critics. She also said attack ads from groups supporting McSally showed that her campaign was "surging."
"As usual, people like Jeff Flake, John McCain, Martha McSally want to fight against the conservative voice, the voice of the people," she said. "I'm not going to allow it to happen."
Polling on the race shows that a key problem for Ward and Arpaio is that they have been left to squabble over the same parts of the GOP base. Early iterations of OH Predictive Insights' survey had Ward leading McSally, but her advantage disappeared after Arpaio entered the contest. And Arpaio's campaign now appears to be on a mission to sink Ward's chances.
Two former Ward former staffers ― Dustin Stockton and Jennifer Lawrence, both one-time reporters for Breitbart News ― now work for Arpaio. Both have previously accused Ward and her husband, Michael Ward, of various wrongdoings.
In an interview with The Washington Examiner, Stockton admitted his motivations: "We're not shy about that fact. We're out for revenge."
Both Ward, 49, and Arpaio, 86, have made tougher immigration enforcement the centerpiece of their campaigns. Arpaio kicked off his statewide tour at the Phoenix office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while Ward is campaigning with fellow Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar (R) and right-wing media personalities Mike Cernovich and Tomi Lahren.
During two campaign stops last weekend, McSally already seemed to be looking toward the general election. At her campaign office in Phoenix, she mingled with about two dozen volunteers, a Spotify "Heartland Country" playlist providing the background music. Many volunteers wore T-shirts emblazoned with the words "FLY. FLIGHT. WIN." and her campaign logo.
"Neither of my opponents has any resources," McSally told her volunteers in a speech peppered with military metaphors. "So we're taking the fight to the Democrats."
She also warned about Democratic outside groups ― funded, she claimed, by billionaires George Soros and Tom Steyer ― who are attacking her ahead of the primary. Red and Gold, a Democratic group which has yet to disclose its donors, has spent millions lambasting her for supporting an "age tax" as part of the GOP's failed congressional attempts to replace Obamacare.
"You can't just sit there and take incoming, incoming, incoming," she said. "You know you're over the target if you're getting flak."
She then traveled to a diner in suburban Chandler, where she discussed regulatory rollbacks and immigration with a group of small business owners and local politicians, who shared their frustrations with Sinema. The chat, which rarely drifted away from economic concerns, offered a hint of the Chamber of Commerce-style Republican McSally may run as in the general election.
Arizona Democrats are prepared to pounce on any shift.
"Congresswoman McSally's calculated shifts have damaged her credibility and prove she doesn't respect voters enough to be honest with them," state Democratic Party spokesman Drew Anderson said. "Arizonans just don't want another shady politician willing to say anything to advance her own career."
And Democrats remain confident in Sinema, 42, who has been free to spend millions of dollars promoting herself as a centrist who wants to "end the partisan nonsense" on health care and other issues. Sinema, who has voted with Trump more than 50 percent of the time, is counting on her moderate image to win over swing voters.
"Sinema is running the campaign I wish I could run over and over again in that state," said Andy Barr, a Democratic strategist who has worked extensively in Arizona. "She's been allowed to introduce herself to voters on her terms with almost no pushback for months."
McSally, meanwhile, is preparing to remind voters of Sinema's past as a liberal state legislator and left-leaning activist. She told her volunteers she has the perfect contrast ready, referencing a photo of Sinema in a pink tutu protesting the Iraq War.
"She's tried really hard to make herself over. She's reinvented herself, from the flaming left liberal she was," McSally said. "You're going to see that in the general election. Me in uniform, Sinema in a pink tutu."
On Thursday ― five days before the primary election ― McSally's campaign put the ad on air.

Once we finish with the mid-term, we will be reading a new book! Yay!! (It's a really great one, and it is non-fiction!) Start thinking about what it would be like to be trapped in jungle island with no way to get out. If you happen on this blog, do me a favor and tell me what you would name your island.
I might name mine something like "Nobodeeshere" or "Findus"
What would you do to survive on this island? What food would you look for? What rules would you establish for yourselves and others?

Years ago, at the height of my 35mm collecting I got an unused dye transfer Technicolor trailer for Zulu. Never having seen it before but knowing Michael Caine was in the film, I was excited to see it projected and when I finally did, I was hooked. The colors simply just popped off the screen. The film content itself looked very interesting as I'm a big fan of older epic films, but I never managed to see it until receiving Twilight Time's amazing Blu-Ray release.
The film is a true life account of a regiment of British troops led by Stanley Baker and Michael Caine who are stationed in Africa at a missionary depot. They are warned by traveling missionaries that a large group of Zulu warriors, having achieved mighty success earlier on against another regiment, are headed their way. The regiment fortifies the mission and Stanley Baker pleads with no luck to traveling Boer horsemen to stay and fight with them. In the vast distance appears 4,000 Zulu warriors, ready to battle against the 150-something troops. The warriors initially attack with rifles. The British are surprised at this and guess the warriors must have claimed the weapons from the earlier defeated regiment. The battle rages on in droves and the British manage to maintain their hold on the depot.
There is superb acting from Stanley Baker as Lieutenant John Chard, and Michael Caine as Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead. Bromhead is initially miffed at Chard, who takes charge of the depot while Chard becomes the subordinate. Actor Richard Burton provides narration of the story while not appearing in the movie itself. The film is slow in some parts but the battle scenes makes up for it.
The video transfer projected on my 10 foot screen looks nothing short of spectacular. Twilight Time has done another bang up job here with no or minimal noise reduction and the bright, saturated reds of the British Army's uniforms stand out against the greens and browns of the surrounding landscape. I have not viewed the British Blu-ray release, but after combing other reviews of it, this transfer seems to be the best. The source is apparently from the 65mm master, and there is minimal damage to the print; occasionally there are white dust speckles.
The disc contains a DTS MA mono track as well as a DTS MA 2.0 stereo track. 70mm release prints contained a 6 track mag soundtrack, but perhaps those elements weren't available for mastering. An audio commentary track with historians Lem Dobbs and Nick Redman details some of the film's production as well as talking about how the film compared to the real life events. An isolated score track is included as well and fans of John Barry's work will really appreciate it. There is also a MGM 90th Anniversary trailer as well as the film's theatrical trailer, all in 1080p. Even though extras are a bit sparse, Twilight Time deserves some accolades for trying to improve some of their titles from the bare bones existence.

E L E V E N months. That's so many months! Like…just…SO MANY MONTHS. My brain can't really process it and kind of short-circuits when I try. The girls are growing by LEAPS AND BOUNDS and I just wish I could record each and every day I spend with them to relive later. Yes, even the moments that are hard – because I know that they'll seem easy in retrospect, like when they're sixteen and telling me how much they love their boyfriend who they JUST MET and is CLEARLY TERRIBLE FOR THEM (yes, we did watch Little Mermaid today, why do you ask?)
There's so much noise associated with you babies now. Like, constant babbling and yelling and SCREAMING. And I don't just mean crying – screaming. I mean like happy, OMG-momma-I-found-my-voice-here's-what-I-sound-like-isn't-it-awesome-why-are-your-ears-bleeding type of screaming. Especially during bath time, and immediately after bath – during lotion / PJs time, you are both just so full of happiness and life and love that you can't help but express it through yelling. It's kind of annoying, frankly – partiularly on Thursdays, when I work all day then have solo bath duty – but holy shit it makes me smile anyway. You two make me all weird like that.
You're both crawling. Rosy was a few days behind Maddy – and Maddy is still more likely to GO-GO-GO the second I put you down – but they're both mobile. And pulling up. And getting into everything. Like, we've been baby proofing as we see what you're getting into and you are being locked into rooms now beccause you can actually get out of them if we don't actively lock them type thing. Today was my first moment where I walked into a room and said (out loud, because your momma is strange) "It's too quiet in here, where are those girls?" (You were in the corner getting into all your cousin's toys)
You're…becoming people. Like, teeny tiny people who are just figuring out that you are people. INSANITY.
Rosemane Maxine
Rosy, you're turning into my background baby. And I mean that in no way to diminish your personality or suggest you're less than in any way. But where your sister flings herself into new situations with abandon, you're a little more suspicious. You think everything is shady until proven otherwise, and you're more likely to snuggle up to me at any given time. Your side eye and suspicious face is on point, though – like, even if you're not smiling in photos I'm pretty OK with it because you look amazing either way.
In fact, you just generally like snuggles. When I put you into your crib for naps or beditme, you usually cry – until I hand you your teddy, at which point you squeel with delight and fling your arms out to trap him in the tightest hug. Usually when I go in to check on you throughout the night, you're touching the teddy – one arm flung over her, or a hand clutching a hand or foot. Most of your stuffed toys receive that treatment, honestly – whether it's the big bear with the mirror in his tummy (you're not super interested in the mirror, honestly) or your Minnie / Daisy dolls, you love you hug them and snuggle them. Today your daddy tried to give you a traditional pacifier instead of your binkie (which is a WubaNub which has a stuffed animal attached) and you kept pulling it out of your mouth and staring at it, as though wondering where the plushie part was. Without something to cuddle you're lost.
You LOVE music. I already see it coming out of you. Mostly theme songs, now – but oh man whether we're talking the Sophia theme song or the Mickey hot dog song you fling your arms around and rock your torso back and forth and I just know you're trying like hell to dance. Music settles you a bit, too – if you're freaking out, but I can get you to focus on a song – whether I'm making it up as I go along or playing something real on my phone or computer – you get distracted by the sound and forget what was bothering you.
Food…well, you like it, what more is there to say? You eat most of what's in front of you – you're a carnivore, so you always eat all your meat before you'll touch grains or veggies. If there's anything left on your plate after a meal, it's veggies – even things you would gobble up pureed (ahem, sweet potatoes), will sometimes end up sitting on your plate at the end of a meal. But you eat well – you never outright reject anything I put in front of you; you'll just sort of push it around while you eat something else you like more.
Madeline Elizabeth
AKA the child who will probably give me a heart attack. Who has already given me a million thousand gray hairs. She is…fearless. Whether you're being flung up into the air or pulling yourself up or meeting new people – you are ALL ABOUT new things. You don't like to be held or snuggled (except sometimes by daddy) because it means you're not out exploring the world – you give kisses more readily than Rosy, but I suspect that's because a kiss gets you released from my greedy desire for snuggles.
You enjoy eating, but I think your favorite part of meals is sharing your food with Brooklyn. You usually start by eating a few pieces of food – then dropping a few pieces on the floor – then eating a few – then dropping them on the floor – then letting Brooklyn lick your hand – lather – rinse – repeat. Even when we were out to lunch with Grandma this weekend you threw your food on the floor – you had no idea that Brooklyn wasn't around. And you just kind of seemed a little confused that she wasn't there, staring up at you waiting for your dropped pieces.
Generally speaking, Brooklyn is your BFF (next to your sissy, of course). At least half the time you take off crawling is directly towards Brooklyn – to pat her back or grab her tags or try to grab her tail. Your desire to be close to her has led to a few heart attack-y moments for me – you are currently sporting a little scratch on your face from where Brooklyn STEPPED ON YOUR HEAD – but you have like a two-second rebound rate (name that movie!) and then you're running back to play again.
Can we just talk about what a little ham you are, too?? I love it. As soon as you see me pull out my cell phone you're smililng and giggling, just waiting for me to switch it to the forward camera so you can watch yourself. If i put you in front of a mirror you grin and breathe heavy (we're teaching them to smile like weirdos at people they like so they'll never date) and throw your hands out to high five yourself. Today during your photo shoot, you kept trying to grab the camera while the photographer was showing me & Daddy the pictures because you saw yourself.
Just as a last point – can I point out that I love you girls enough to take you for WALKS, so you can take your sassy act on the road? I mean, I can only WISH I lived a life where I took a nap while someone else walked me around town. THAT'S HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU TWO.

The CEO of one of the world's largest independent financial advisory organisations and leading specialists in pension transfers championed HMRC's decision to remove Australian superannuation funds from its official recognised list of Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes (QROPS).
Nigel Green, the founder and chief executive of deVere Group, many of whose 80,000 clients have transferred their retirement savings into an HMRC-recognised QROPS, is speaking out after Australian superannuation funds were delisted from the 1 July list.
Mr Green comments: "Whilst Australian superannuation funds are highly regulated financial vehicles, they fail the UK's 'pension age test.' That's to say that they do allow the early payment – before the age of 55 – of benefits. Therefore, these funds do not meet all the stringent requirements needed to be recognised by HMRC as a QROPS or Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme.
"I welcome this move by the UK tax authority, which has once again tightened the QROPS rules.
"This measure further impedes funds being transferred to certain destinations with the sole aim of the pension holder then being able to withdraw a large proportion of the cash as a lump sum. This is not how QROPS were ever intended to be used; they are meant to provide an income in retirement for those living outside the UK."
He continues: "HMRC's stance on this issue and the deployment of more and more of its resources in the area is further evidence that QROPS are fully part of the retirement planning 'Establishment', and that the overseas pension transfer market has fully come of age.
"Last week's tightening of the rules means that clients are even more protected, making QROPS, with all their enormous financial benefits for expat retirees, an even more attractive option."
Mr Green concludes: "It is likely that other jurisdictions will benefit from HMRC's new list, including Malta, the Isle of Man and Gibraltar.

Fame is an illusion don't get attached: Amish Tripathi
Amish Tripathi talks about the success his Shiva trilogy, and fetching a million dollar advance for his next book.art-and-culture Updated: Mar 08, 2013 01:37 IST
A graduate in Mathematics followed by an MBA from IIM landed him into a banker's shoes, but clearly destiny... rather lord Shiva, had better stuff in store for him or so says Amish Tripathi, the writer of the bestseller Shiva trilogy.
So, after a hectic day of number crunching, the Benaras-born-Mumbai-based boy, sat in the the backseat of his car and penned down on his laptop, his first two novels — The Immortals of Meluha, and The Secret of the Nagas. "We weren't wealthy people, I couldn't leave my job and do all this... what would I have told my kids that '
beta, adjust karo
, papa is discovering something'?" says the 38-year-old, whose latest book, The Oath of the Vayuputras, flew off the shelves selling half-a-million copies within 10 days of launch, soon after which he got a million dollar advance for his next trilogy — the biggest ever given to any Indian author.
So, was his first book too lapped up by publishers the same way? "Everybody rejected it. I and my friend published it ourselves. It became a bestseller in two weeks, and then these same publishers came back to me," laughs Tripathi, who had turned an atheist in the early '90s but now attributes the entire success of his trilogy to lord Shiva.
"After those series of unpleasant incidents in Mumbai in the 90s, I started feeling that religion is the cause of all fights... writing this book restored my faith back when I realised that religion is not bad... it's the men who make it bad," he says as his 'Mahadev' engraved
, peeps out of his sleeves.

John Fewster was a surgeon and apothecary born about 1738 (based upon his age at his death). He married Betty Tyson in Thornbury on the 26th of April 1770 at which time John was said to be living in Thornbury, though he does not appear to have been born there. It is possible he had come to Thornbury a few years before to take up a practice and had met and then married, Betty, the daughter of Thomas Tyson and granddaughter of Samuel Tyson of Hope Farm in Falfield.
Professor Gareth Williams in his book "The Angel of Death; The Story of Smallpox" says that John Fewster was from nearby Stonehouse in Gloucestershire. This seems very likely as the parish records for Stonehouse have an entry for the baptism of John Fewster son of John and Sarah Fewster of Standish. Apparently John Fewster was also a surgeon in the North Gloucestershire Militia. Gareth Williams also says that John received his medical training at Bristol Infirmary.
John Fewster has a place in English medical history because of his part in finding out ways of preventing the smallpox epidemics that were so devastating at that time. Wikipedia says that "During the 18th century the disease killed an estimated 400,000 Europeans per year (including five reigning monarchs), and was responsible for a third of all blindness. Of all those infected, 20–60%—and over 80% of infected children—died from the disease."
In 1765 John Fewster presented a paper to the Medical Society of London entitled "Cow pox and its ability to prevent small pox".
In 1768 he founded a medical club called the Convivio-Medical Society which met in various places including the Ship Inn at Alveston. His friend Edward Jenner was a member. Dr Fewster suggested to local medical practitioners that they open a house on what is now the A38 near Thornbury to use for people being inoculated against smallpox.
At this time the most accepted method of protecting people against the scourge of smallpox was to use the fluid taken from the blisters that formed on people with a mild form of smallpox. This was called inoculation.
In 1796 thirty one years after John Fewster had presented his paper on the subject, Edward Jenner, the friend and colleague of John Fewster, was broadly given credit for the introduction of the small pox vaccine. "Vaccine" comes from the Latin word for cow and Jenner is famous for using the fact that contracting cowpox gave people immunity from the greater scourge of smallpox. He collected the liquid from the blisters of people who had cowpox. He then scratched the skin of his patients to rub in the liquid and induce a mild form of cowpox which then gave protection against the much feared smallpox. In a letter written to Mr Rolph, surgeon of Peckham in October 1798 John Fewster was still disputing Jenner's conclusion that a cow pox vaccine was protective against small pox. He wrote: "I think it (i.e. the cow-pox in the natural way) is a much more severe disease in general than the inoculated small-pox.
I do not see any great advantage from inoculation from the cow-pox: inoculation for the small-pox seems to be well understood, so that there is very little need of a substitute. It is curious, however, and may lead to improvements".
John Fewster was Mayor of Thornbury in 1776/77 and again in 1811/1812.
John Fewster's wife Betty was one of the heirs of her cousin Arthur Taylor and under the terms of his will of 1797 she inherited a considerable amount of property near The Hackett called Tan-Yard House and its surrounding land. Tan-Yard House is now Hackett House. We understand that this was quickly sold off by their three children after the death of their mother.
John and Betty Fewster owned Wigmore House in Castle Street Thornbury. The deeds of Wigmore House which were photographed by Heather Palmer (one of the research group from Thornbury Museum) contain a document dated 1894 which has a schedule referring to the earlier owners. It says; "22nd and 23rd March 1782. Indentures of Lease and Release the latter between John Johnson of the one part and John Fewster of the other part."
We have taken this to mean that John Fewster bought the property which is now Wigmore House from John Johnson in 1782.
However the Land Tax and Poor Relief Records have further information. The Land Tax Record of 1781 shows that John Fewster was the tenant of a property owned by John Johnson. The Records of 1782 and subsequent years up to the time of his death continue to show what seems to be this property was both owned and occupied by John Fewster. The Assessment for the Relief of the Poor made in 1770 also shows that John Fewster was occupying a property owned by John Johnson which appears to be this same property. This indicates that John and Betty Fewster were renting what is now Wigmore House for quite some time before before they bought it.
We have evidence to suggest that although John and Betty Fewster bought Wigmore House they did not always live there. The Gloucester Journal of 29th January 1816 advertised the property for letting. Please see the advertisement on the right to read the details. Note that at this time the property had an orchard and six acres of land and a large coach house and stables sufficient for six horses.
Wigmore House was referred to in the will John Fewster made in 1820. This will confirms that John Fewster may not have actually lived there at that time as it says "I give and devise unto my dear wife Betty Fewster all that my messuage or tenement with the outhouses, stables, garden orchard and piece of ground thereto adjoining now in the occupation of Mr N N Jefferys which I some time ago purchased of Mr John Johnson, since deceased."
John Fewster died aged 86 on 3rd April 1824. His will, drawn up in 1820 and proved in 1824, deals with other properties than that which we believe to be Wigmore House. It says;
"I give and devise unto my said wife Betty Fewster all that my Coach house and stable now in my occupation situate in the High Street of the Borough of Thornbury on the south east side of a dwellinghouse now or lately inhabited by Joseph Longman." We believe that this Coach house and stable later became the house that is now number 20 Castle Street.
"I give and devise unto my said daughter Ann Fewster all that my messuage or tenement and garden or court behind the same now in my occupation some time since purchased by me off the said John Johnson …….but in case she the said Ann Fewster shall die without having issue …then I give and devise the same last mentioned messuage and premises unto her the daughter of the said Elizabeth Player her heirs and assigns for ever." We believe this to be the property that became Epworth House.
"I give and devise unto my said daughter Elizabeth Player all that my messuage or tenement lately erected by me, now or late in the occupation of Mr Hunt." We believe this property to be what is now Bank Cottage but cannot explain how it is that by the Tithe Survey of 1840 this property came to be owned by Thomas Fewster, John Fewster's son.
John's wife Betty Fewster continued to own Wigmore House and the Land Tax Records showed her as the owner until her death on May 3rd 1835 aged 87 years. The schedule of 1894 which is in the deeds of Wigmore House refers to the will of John Fewster made in March 1820 and proved 4th October 1824, thus appearing to confirm our theory that the house was the one referred to in the will. We believe that about the time of Betty's death Wigmore House was occupied by Edmund Lloyd as the lease was advertised in the Gloucestershire Chronicle in November 1834 as being in the occupation of Edmund Lloyd, solicitor.
The details of the sale of Wigmore House and other property which took place on 1st August 1863 has a list of conditions of sale describing ALL the property in the sale as having been owned by John Fewster and left in his will of 1820. This property was said to have been inherited by his son Thomas Fewster. In the sale of 1863 this property was broken down into 12 lots.
Lot 1 was the house lived in until the time of the sale by Edward Long. We know this to be Wigmore House
Lot 2 was a house then lived in by George Godwin the veterinary surgeon. This is believed to be Epworth House, which is the house next door to Wigmore House.
Lot 3 was a building "lately forming the stables and coach house to Lots 1 and 2, together with the saddle room, poultry house, pigsties, yard and land" which was "capable of being converted at small expense into a commodious Residence". This property was indeed converted at a later date and lies in the small roadway or passage alongside Bank Cottage and which now links Castle Street and Stafford Crescent.
Lots 4 to 12 were various smaller pieces of land which the sale details said "are parcelled out from the two closes of land called Johnson's Ground situated immediately behind lot 1 and numbered respectively 297 and 299 on the tithe map for the parish of Thornbury. They are bounded by and have capital frontages to the Turnpike road leading from Thornbury to Gloucester the high road leading to the church and lands of W G Salmon esq and T O Wetmore esq ".
This shows us clearly that John Fewster owned Johnsons Ground, the large area of land now bordered by Gloucester Road, Church Road and Wigmore House, which must have all been part of the Wigmore property. This was possibly transferred to John Fewster under the terms of the Indenture of 1782 in which John Fewster bought property from John Johnson, including Wigmore. The name "Johnsons Ground" itself being a possible indication of the provenance. The Tithe Apportionment Map drawn up between 1837 and 1840 gives this numbers 297 and 299 and says that it was owned and used by Elizabeth Fewster.
The Children of John and Betty Fewster
Anne Fewster. The records of the Church of St Mary in Thornbury show that the John and Betty Fewster's first child was Anne Fewster who was born on 15th May 1771. Anne Fewster never married and she died in Thornbury on 8th March 1845 aged 74. There is a tablet to her memory in St Mary's Church erected by her niece, Elizabeth Fewster, as a tribute of affection. At this stage we know little more about Anne, apart from the bequests in her will which was proved on 18th April 1845. These included the income from seven hundred pounds to her nephew, George Fewster, nine hundred pounds to her niece, Elizabeth Fewster, the income from seven hundred pounds to Eliza Lawford and to her niece, Mary Ann Player, another seven hundred pounds. It would seem that Anne was a very rich woman in her own right.
John Fewster. John and Betty's first son John Fewster followed and was baptised on 18th December 1772.
Elizabeth Fewster. On 14th January 1774 their second daughter Elizabeth Fewster was baptised. On 5th June 1804, Elizabeth married John Player, a gentleman from Elberton Court. The couple had five children Eliza, Mary Ann, John William and Henry. Henry died of fever when he was a medical student at Manchester Hospital. John and Elizabeth lived at Elberton before moving to Briton Ferry in South Wales and then Lougher. John Player was multi talented, a self taught musician who made his own cello and a botanist, amongst other things. After his wife's death he returned to Gloucestershire, first Olveston and then The Close House in Thornbury. His second daughter Mary Ann born in 1806 came with him and she met and married Richard Whalley, a teacher at the Free School (which later became Thornbury Grammar School).
Thomas Fewster was the fourth child of John and Betty Fewster, baptised in Thornbury on the 30th January 1776.
The Morning Post of January 23rd 1801 announced the marriage of Mr T Fewster and Miss Lackington of Charles Street, St James. The parish register of St James's Piccadilly confirms that Thomas Fewster married Elizabeth Lackington on 9th January 1901. Elizabeth was the sister of George Lackington who may have been the tenant of a property in Thornbury in 1797. Anne Fewster (Thomas's sister) and George Lackington were witnesses to the marriage.
Thomas and his wife Elizabeth had at least two children; George who was born 31st May 1802 and Elizabeth born 26th May 1806. Thomas was a surgeon and apothecary like his father and in 1824 he became a mayor of Thornbury, also like his father. The Trade Directory of 1830 advertises both Thomas Fewster and his son George as apothecaries.
The 1840 Tithe Apportionment Survey makes it clear how the Wigmore property had been divided between Thomas Fewster and his sister Ann following the death of their parents. Thomas owned and lived in Wigmore House itself and also had a surgery with a yard and court in what is now Bank Cottage, further down Castle Street, and the land previously described. Ann lived in what is now Epworth House with a court attached and the stable and coach house.
As well as the property that he inherited after his parents' death, we know that Thomas himself bought the "Lion House" in 1822 from George Buckle. It also seems that he owned at least two other properties from 1809 or even earlier, that is before his father died, and for which he continued to pay Land Tax. We know that Thomas Fewster owned at least two more properties in Castle Street which became Oriel House and Oriel Cottage but at this time we do not know whether he inherited them or whether these were the two properties for which he was paying Land Tax and so must have owned before his father died.
Thomas died in Thornbury on 12th June 1840 aged 64 and was buried on the 17th of June. By the 1841 Census Thomas's widow, Elizabeth, and their daughter, also called Elizabeth, were living in what was presumably Wigmore House. The "Lion House" opposite appeared to be unoccupied.
Thomas's widow, Elizabeth Fewster died the following year on the 1st of August 1841, aged 65. There is a tablet in the chancel of St Mary's Church in Thornbury erected to the memory of her and her husband.
By his will which was proved in London on June 26th 1841 Thomas Fewster left his daughter Elizabeth one thousand pounds and to his son George he left "the entire good will of my practice as a surgeon apothecary and accoucheur" (this is a French term for a male Obstetrician). He left his wife one hundred pounds and all his property during her life time. After her death his two children George and Elizabeth inherited all his property as tenants in common.
It was later agreed that George should buy Elizabeth's half share of "Wigmores House", as it is called, for £825. In the indenture dated the 29th of September 1841 which is part of this transaction it was stated that part of the house had been rebuilt. This was perhaps the Georgian wing that was added to the older house sometime between 1818 and 1841. Also included were a stable and coach house, formerly a barn or workhouse adjoining the yard of the house. All of these properties, except the stable and coach house, had belonged to their father. The stable and coach house were occupied by Ann Fewster, their father's sister who had a life interest in them until her death in 1845. In the indenture of September 1841 Edmund Lloyd, gentleman, is named as the under-tenant of George Fewster, who had presumably taken over the occupancy after George's sister, Elizabeth moved elsewhere. By the 1851 Census George Fewster who had been living in Bank Cottage in the 1841 Census had moved to Wigmore House where he was living alone, except for a servant and a groom. However he was living in Southampton Street, The Strand, Middlesex by 24th of May 1852 when he purchased Elizabeth's half share of the "Lion House" in Castle Street for a further £95.
The next day George sold the "Lion House" to Charles Prewett of Thornbury, a tailor. At that time Lion House was occupied by George Godwin the veterinary surgeon. The house was later sold to Edward Long in 1859.
Elizabeth Fewster died in October 1865, aged 59 years. She was buried in the cemetery in Cheltenham on 17th October 1865. The probate record says that she was a spinster of 11 Lansdown Parade in Cheltenham. Probate was granted to Mary Ann Ferris (wife of Richard Ferris). Mary Ann (nee De la Roche) was the daughter of John and Martha De la Roche. She had married Richard Ferris in 1852. Prior to that time the 1851 Census shows that as a widow Mary Ann Coote was living in St Catherine's Place in St Andrews in the same household as her mother the widowed Martha De la Roche and Elizabeth Fewster.
In the 1871 Census George Fewster who was a retired surgeon aged 69 was lodging with a retired coastguard, George Saule, and his family in Ilfracombe North Devon. By 1881 he was living in the Swansea area with William Player and his family . George Fewster died in the Hereford district in the June quarter of 1889.

This is a massive boost for the club in a period of transition; Jamie has done a great job and is well respected at this level of football. To retain his services demonstrates our ambition to continue to grow both on and off the pitch in the future
Jamie himself spoke about staying at the club:
I am delighted to announce that I will be continuing in the role of First Team Manager at the club for next season.
Having received offers from elsewhere, this is the football club I am committed to and want to be at. With the new 3G pitch and other projects coming to fruition, the football club is entering an exciting period and I am full of confidence that our extremely talented squad will continue to build on the progressive and successful season that we have just enjoyed.
Id also like to thank our fans, sponsors and volunteers for the excellent support they continuously show to the club and we look forward to seeing them again for the 2019/20 season.
The club can also confirm that Head Coach Aaron Steadman will be leaving the club in the summer to pursue other opportunities.

Id like to thank Aaron Steadman for his time here at the club in what has been a successful season.

The first of the day's much anticipated Ale&Ricky clashes ended in disappointment for Claudio Gabetta's Giovanissimi after a 0-0 draw with Real Madrid was not enough to see them go through to the final.
The Juve youngsters fought hard throughout to try and gain the all-important advantage, but Los Blancos held out, and the Spanish side will now feature in the final of the seventh edition of the tournament held in memory of Alessio Ferramosa and Riccardo Neri.
Although the 0-0 scoreline that they also recorded yesterday in the derby with Torino was not enough to secure passage into the final round, the Bianconeri nonetheless have one more opportunity to get a win: the third-place playoff against Chisola at 16.00 CET today.
Following that, it will be Real Madrid's turn, with the youngsters coached by Santiago Solari (a Real player during the Galacticos era) to face the winners of the amateur group and last year's finalists J-Stars.

From Cattle Buyer to Auction Owner
Maggie Malson
The Cattleman
Everything about the weathered wooden catwalk, the cattle bawling, trailers being unloaded, the smell of the manure and hay, and the cry of the auctioneer asking for bids feels like home for the owner of Gulf Coast Livestock Auction in Alice. Eddie Garcia has fond memories of being a 7-year-old boy visiting the local auction barns with his father, Esteban Garcia lll. These were defining moments for him.

"Early in the morning on August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast of the United States. When the storm made landfall, it had a Category 3 rating on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale–it brought sustained winds of 100–140 miles per hour–and stretched some 400 miles across. The storm itself did a great deal of damage, but its aftermath was catastrophic. Levee breaches led to massive flooding, and many people charged that the federal government was slow to meet the needs of the people affected by the storm (History.com)."
At this moment I was a graduate student in painting at the University of Hawaii. I had also lived through hurricanes Hugo in the Virgin Island (1989) and Iniki in Hawaii (1992) and been in a band called The New York Niggers, a mixed racial band 1978-80. After I had been kicked out Hollis Hotel on 48th and 8th for lack of funds a group of black guys took me into their loft on 474 Greenwich St. Yes, I am white and I am not even an American citizen. This is my history and the context, but what caused me to paint this image besides the fact that political, economic or natural disasters always hit the poor the hardest, is the power that came through this image, the Kendrix family sitting in squalid conditions in the New Orleans Super Dome, more or less abandoned by the government but for this moment wrapping them selves in the American Flag, a blanket re-presenting the flag actually, the powerful symbol of the nation that had oppressed them over and over. Instantly, I knew I needed to paint it. Taking out all color except the red and blue was what the image told me. Eventually I earned a scholarship from this painting and then it ended up stashed away.
A few weeks ago a collector reminded me of the painting and I dug it out to realize, how relevant the painting still is. The collector thought the painting was too scary to hang it in her house. I decided to go over it completely and bring it up to date. Here it is. It is my contribution to the discussion after Katrina and now. As long as one of us is still suffering, the work is not finished.

The McCormack's are a 7th generation ranching family. Doug McCormack started River Lane Acres (RLA - prefix) at the home farm in Cookstown, Ontario. While raising Hereford cows, his bull suffered an injury and needed to be replaced. So he leased a polled, full blood Simmental bull from a neighbor. When the first calf crop hit the ground he was hooked. The calves were vigorous, big topped and just plain good. After that, he began to focus on raising good, polled, fullblood genetics. In 1999, he began to realign his focus to the solid red and black Simmental cattle.
In 1996, son Scott sold his portion of the full blood cows. In 2001, he moved west to Saskatchewan (something about a girl he met at Agribition…..) In 2002, Scott married Carolyn Olson of Hanley, Saskatchewan. They now have four beautiful children - Bailey, Sydney, Darby and Tanner. In 2003, they took over Carolyn's dad's herd of Maine-Anjou cows, Green Acres Maine Anjou. Lightning Strike Cattle Co. was formed and they continue to raise quality Maine-Anjou purebred cattle and have added to their numbers.
In 2006, McCormack Family Ranch was formed when Doug and Scott & Carolyn relocated to Grenfell, Saskatchewan - 125 kms east of Regina on Hwy#1. They currently run 150 head of purebred red and black Simmental and purebred Maine-Anjou cattle and crop/hay 2500 acres. The Maine-Anjou cattle still carry the LSCC prefix. An Annual Bull Sale is held the last Tuesday of March on the farm at Grenfell, SK. In 2009, MFR held its 1st Annual Fall Production Sale on the farm.
Directions to our farm:
From Grenfell,
Saskatchewan -
2 miles west to Neudorf Road, 1 mile South and 1/3 mile west.
From Regina -
120 kms east of Regina on Hwy #1 to Hwy #47. One mile south and 1.5 miles east.

Yom Hashoah began at sundown this evening with the annual ceremony at Yad Vashem. This year's torch-lighters were all survivors who reflected "the struggle to retain the human spirit" under terrible torture and deprivation. You can read the life-story of each torch-lighter at the link. Each one is remarkable.
Mrs. Zahava Roth spoke on behalf of the survivors. A personal note: Mrs. Roth and her family belong to our shul, and she is a neighbour of my parents. Her grandchildren and our children were all together in school. Mrs. Roth told the audience how, at age 7, she became "nobody's child", as she was smuggled out of the Bochnia ghetto by her mother and aunt, to be hidden by Christians and then by Jews. You can read her chilling and terrifying story at the link and see a short video clip (Hebrew only).
Her happy ending is that she eventually made it to Israel and rebuilt her life, raising a warm, strong, religious family. Zahava Roth is an inspiration to all of us.
At the ceremony, President Rivlin addressed the shameful way that Holocaust survivors have been treated by the authorities in Israel, with up to 50% of them living below the poverty line, and asked for forgiveness in the name of Israel:
According to data released by the Foundation for the Benefit of Holocaust Survivors, there approximately 189,000 Holocaust survivors in Israel, 45,000 of whom live under the poverty line.
Rivlin said the Holocaust demonstrated the need for the Jewish people to be in charge of its own fate, and that it should never outsource its own security, although adding that the State of Israel "is not, under any circumstances, compensation of the Holocaust."
Rivlin told the following chilling story about Passover in Bergen Belsen in 1944, which nevertheless holds the secret to the Jewish People's survival: the willingness and ability to adapt to survive:
The President began by describing the scene in Bergen Belsen Concentration Camp on the first night of Passover, 1944. "In barrack 18, a group of Jewish prisoners gathered, determined not to eat Chametz (leavened bread). Rabbi Aharon Bernard (Yisachar) Davids, the rabbi of Rotterdam and a leader in the religious Zionist movement, who decided not to escape with his family but rather was sent with his community to Bergen Belsen, explained to them that it was their obligation to do what was necessary to stay alive.
In order to convince them, he picked up a piece of bread, and before eating it on that Seder night, he read a special prayer which he had penned together with Rabbi Simon Dasbergm, and other Rabbis from Holland, which read; 'Our Father in Heaven! It is known to You that we desire to fulfill Your will and observe the Passover holiday by eating Matzah and safeguarding against Chametz. But our hearts are pained at the captivity which prevents us, and we find ourselves in danger of our lives. We are hereby ready to fulfill Your commandments "And you shall live by them (the commandments)" and not die by them, and to observe the caution of "guard yourself and watch your life greatly." Therefore our prayer to You is that You keep us alive, and sustain us, and redeem us speedily." The President added that tragically, Rabbi Davids had perished just months before the liberation of the camp.
The President spoke of three major lessons from Yom Hashoah: (emphases added):
"I believe that the memory of the Holocaust for future generations, should meet three basic principles" said the President, and continued, "Firstly, we should always be able to defend ourselves – we should not privatize our security. The State of Israel is not, under any circumstances, compensation of the Holocaust. However, the Holocaust put into perspective the necessity and crucial need of the Jewish people to return to its historical roots, as a nation that takes its fate in its hands.
… The second point is the shared Jewish fate. In Auschwitz and Babi Yar, in the darkness and in great fear, an alliance was forged – the Covenant of the Pieces. […]We will forever pursue the blood of our brothers and sisters, individuals and communities, which screams at us from within the earth. We will continue to pursue the deniers, those who want to forget and those who want to blur history.
… The third point, beloved is man created in God's image. This is a Jewish truth, the most fundamental human truth and the deepest antibody to the horrors of the Holocaust, where our people and all of us were turned to dust, to ants, to un-human beings. Beloved is man created in God's image. Whether we want or not, the Holocaust imposes a hard and terrible duty on the Jewish nation and its conduct. The Holocaust will forever place us, the Jewish people, as eternal prosecutors on the stage of humanity, prosecutor against anti-Semitism, racism and ultra-nationalism.
In sadly timely news, we learn that despite the substantial decrease, by 46%, of violent antisemitism worldwide, there was nevertheless a rise in institutional antisemitism.
In addition, Britain saw the opposite effect, with a huge rise in antisemitic crime in 2015 (h/t Brian Goldfarb):
We now know that in 2015:
- Police forces recorded a 25.7% increase in hate crime against Jews, making it the worst year on record for antisemitic crime. The level of antisemitic crime was consistently high throughout the year.
- Violent antisemitic crime jumped by 50.8%. In 2014 violent acts accounted for 16.9% of all antisemitic crime, but by 2015 violent acts accounted for 20.3% of antisemitic crime.
- Despite the growth in antisemitic crime, police forces charged 7.2% fewer cases in 2015 than in 2014, meaning that only 13.6% of cases resulted in charges being brought.
- There was no change in the non-criminal antisemitic acts reported to the police, meaning that in 2015 a higher proportion of the antisemitic acts reported to the police were criminal.
[…] The promised crackdown has not materialised. In far too many cases, rank and file police officers and prosecutors often do not recognise some of the forms of antisemitism, or fail to take it seriously. Officers and prosecutors are not being given sufficient training or oversight.
The results speak for themselves. Antisemitic crime is climbing fast, violence against Jews is soaring, and the police response is gradually getting worse. If Britain is to escape the fate of other European countries, where antisemitism and extremism are rife and Jews are leaving in their thousands, we must train our frontline police officers and prosecutors, and properly oversee them.
As I have done in the past, I draw your attention to my Family History pages where I have recorded the history of my family during the Shoah, especially the murder of my mother's three brothers, David, Elchanan and Uri Strauss HY'D, in Sobibor.
But to conclude on a slightly less somber note, here is our revenge: our son-in-law in the uniform of the IDF, standing with a Sefer Torah outside Auschwitz on an army March of the Living last year:

Often overlooked in favour of the beaches, Phuket Town is the island's largest city and is an exciting mix of old and new, peaceful and pulsating. Thalang Road in the city centre has applied to be a UNESCO Heritage Site with its numerous colourful Sino-Portuguese mansions and shophouses.
Few islands can boast of such an abundance of sandy beaches and clear waters as Phuket. The winding coastal roads along this 540 square kilometre island offer stunning views and easy access to some of the world's finest beaches, such as Karon, Kamala, Kata and Patong Beaches.
Phuket has a fantastic array of attractions. From natural to man-made, land-based to water activities; there's always something to see and do. The beauty of it all is that these wonders are all within a short driving or sailing distance from each other.
From famous Thai dishes to international haute cuisine, you are really spoiled for choice when it comes to restaurants in Phuket. Phuket is famous for its seafood and you don't have to empty your bank account to enjoy the most sumptuous of dishes.
Patong is the undisputed nightlife centre of Phuket but Kata Beach and Karon Beach are also very lively. The nightlife scene in Phuket Town is certainly different from the all-out assault on the senses that is Patong and has a distinctly Asian flavour.

Britney Spears is receiving a $5 million-a-year pay rise with her new Las Vegas deal.
The 33-year-old singer has extended her 'Britney: Piece of Me' residency - which was due to end later this year - at Planet Hollywood for another two years, and not only will she see her wage rise to $35 million-a-year, she will also be doing fewer shows.
And according to TMZ, Britney was given her pick at the concert dates she wants at the venue, leaving Jennifer Lopez - who starts her own Planet Hollywood concert series in January 2016 - to choose from what was left over.
Britney announced the news during her concert on Wednesday (09.09.15) and told E! News: "I'm not ready to leave Vegas yet! And I just really really love this show and this city. I'm so proud of the show, and my band, my dancers and my crew have all become such a family to me. When it came down to me really having to make this decision, I just couldn't imagine ending my residency at the end of this year."
While she is extending the show's run, the 'Toxic' singer revealed that fans can expect some changes to her shows.
She explained: "I definitely have some major changes planned. I'm getting together with my team this week to go over the set list, design some new costumes and dream up new props.
"There are a few songs that that I really want to add to the show. It's very exciting! If you haven't seen the current show yet, you should come out before the end of the year."

16 Nov Perseverance produces character and hope
If we are patient to persevere, God is kind to let us see the fruit of our labour. This was made abundantly clear to us in our years of service in looking after displaced children at the hostel of St John's College.
When we joined in 2012, more than 75% of the children were in the 'fail category' in their examinations. These children were weak not only in their studies but also in behaviour.
Those days the other wardens and I had to face angry teachers, section heads, and parents because of these children. We often felt overwhelmed and depressed that this happened despite all the hard work we had put in.
In fact, we approached the Principal twice to give up the post of Senior Hostel Warden but thankfully these requests were unsuccessful.
Today, some of those boys have graduated as engineers while others will be finishing their first degree by the end of this year.
One even bought us a tea pack using his salary. We got calls from several boys telling us about their jobs, and we are so delighted to be offered good fish whenever we asked.
One of the boys who graduated has returned to serve the school and hostel from Mondays to Fridays. On weekends, he goes back to his remote home town and gives free tuition to students in his community.
Please pray for our ministry as for the first time we now have five blind boys under our charge. They will be sitting for the same advance level examination as the other displaced children. Passing the examination is essential for them to be eligible for higher studies or a job.
We will be focusing on training teachers on inner healing and counselling, so that more children will benefit from this activity.
