Class distinction and moral policing
Resolved that a distinction be made in the sort of meals served up for the Superior & Inferior Patients ... with respect to the food of the Inferior Patients it be such as is suitable to their habits of life ...
Warneford Committee of Management 1828
No Female, except the Mother, Wife, Daughter or Sister, shall visit any Male Patient; and no Male, except the Father, Husband, Son or Brother, shall visit a Female Patient, except by special permission
Radcliffe Infirmary by-laws 1898
The social attitudes of the past can make an interesting study, and the history of hospitals is no exception. Mixed wards are still a comparatively new phenomenon but in previous centuries whole hospitals, especially psychiatric hospitals, were designed to keep the sexes apart at all times. Both the Warneford and Littlemore Hospitals were built in such a way as to ensure that male and female patients never met, and the nurses and attendants were always of the same sex as their patients. Even in 1950 the Matron of the Watlington Hospital was not prepared to employ a male domestic assistant without the express permission of the House Committee, even though the appointments were entirely in her hands.
The Warneford took very great care: Samuel Warneford is reported as saying 'a wall is not enough to separate the sexes - there should be two walls and an interval of ground between'. When a proposal for changing the use of part of the garden was put forward in 1834 the Rev. Vaughan Thomas, of the Committee of Management, recorded his dismay that now the men would 'have access to the walls of the Women's airing court, and that the men instead of being kept away from the females, and at the greatest possible distance, are brought close to the females, with nothing but a low wall between them'. Elsewhere he records that the low wall in question was in some parts 'not more than 6 feet 6 inches high, and easily to be scaled'.
When the chapel was built at the Warneford mixed services took place and the Annual Report for 1850 says that 'the United attendance of the male and female patients ... has not been attended with any of the consequences which were once apprehended'. This was hardly surprising, as the men and women entered by different doors and did not even see each other as there was a screen down the centre of the chapel. Segregation remained strict for many years. It was not until 1925 that a female (qualified) nurse took over the male side of the hospital as Matron; the unqualified head male attendant was pensioned off. Even as late as 1944 a report states that 'the sexes were judiciously mixed' as an experiment at the Christmas dinner.
A report on the Littlemore Hospital in 1874 records that 'a weekly entertainment, usually a ball, is given as a means of amusement for both sexes', but it is most unlikely that such entertainments were mixed. In 1862 the Chaplain was holding separate reading classes, on Sundays for the men and Sundays, Tuesdays and Fridays for the women.
At the Radcliffe Infirmary the wards in the attics were reserved for male patients only. However, in February 1840 the female wards were overcrowded and in consequence women were sent up to the attic wards. They were not put with the men, but they were in adjoining rooms and Vaughan Thomas was horrified (he was a governor of the Radcliffe as well as being on the Warneford Committee). There was nothing to prevent the mixing of men and women at dinner time, for there was only one nurse to a ward and when she went for a meal the patients were unattended. In the evenings the patients were allowed out to the airing courts for exercise and, unlike those of the Warneford, the courts were not segregated. In 1838 a governor was disturbed to find that male and female patients 'are allowed to go into the same Court at the same time', the contact forbidden to them indoors taking place 'in the evening in the airing court and perhaps after dark - this is an Irregularity'.
The morals of the patients were a consideration in the rules of the Radcliffe: they were to attend prayers, were not to swear or play dice or cards and were to behave decently. Concern for the virtuous provoked several comments in the Visitors' Book:
I think it very improper to place a Procuress and a Prostitute upon the Beds of the Lichfield Ward which as I am informed was done on the last admission day - ought the feelings of the virtuous to be outraged in this manner? never were ministerial prudence and pastoral authority better exercised than in excluding their Prostitute Friends who came to visit them.
Venereal Disease is expressly mentioned as a reason for excluding a Patient ... The effect of allowing females to stay under such disease is to act unjustly by all the virtuous females in the Ward ... It is moreover unchristian, as an offense against the Christian admonition "evil communications corrupt good manners" .
The Radcliffe Infirmary also took great care to protect its nurses; for example the 1898 by-laws lay down that the Porter was to attend the male patients in the bath rooms. In 1871 a new arrangement was made for emptying the bed pans in the accident ward. The Committee of Management objected to the proposals on the grounds that 'however virtuous a Nurse might be it was not right that her feelings of delicacy should be pained by the possibility of her having to empty a bedpan in the sink with the chance of there being at the same time a man seated in the water closet so near it, or of her meeting one buttoning up his trousers on leaving the place'. John Briscoe, Honorary Surgeon, pointed out that the arrangements in another, new, ward 'will still more pain the Nurse's feelings of delicacy for while emptying a bed pan, she will have the chance of there being a man in the place for the urinal on her left hand and one in each of the water closets on her right'.
Although it is undoubtedly curious to find concern for the nurses' delicate feelings whilst they were engaged in the indelicate occupation of emptying bedpans, it is a surprise to find such feelings mentioned at all. Dr. Palmer, house surgeon 1870-1874, described the nurses as 'kind, intelligent, simple women of the superior servant class, without any pretension to being ladies'. The rules of the Brackley Cottage Hospital, founded in 1876, stated that when the nurse visited a house she was to be treated as an upper servant. Such considerations of class were usual. When the Warneford Hospital was opened in 1826 it was intended to cater for the middle class of society, but even this class was divided. The fees for patients were on a sliding scale according to the capacity to pay, and the hospital was arranged on both female and male sides for patients of the superior, second and third classes. The bedrooms, dining rooms and airing courts were all divided: for example the airing courts for the superior class were at the front next to the gardens, those for the second class at the side and those for the third class at the back near the kitchen yard. In 1834 it seems that even the corridors were not to be communal, for the following recommendation appears in the Visitors' Book: 'Considering the importance of keeping the classes of patients .. [apart from] .. each other, though they be of the same sex, especially the gentlemen from those of the lower class, it is advised to change the door way into the Bath Room so as to make it accessible to the parlour patients without entering the poor mens' gallery'.
It is possible that all this sounds very Victorian and very English, so it is interesting to find a twentieth century American equivalent. Marjorie Peto, who was Chief Nurse of the U.S. Army's 2nd General Hospital at the Churchill Hospital 1942-1944, records that when the nurses finally returned to America the army delivered a last lecture. 'After having travelled on land and sea with men, bivouaced with them, nursed and cared for them when they were wounded, watched them die and after having worked with them for three and a half years' the subject of the lecture was 'How to Behave in America. With emphasis on deportment with the opposite sex.' It seems that some things never change.

Node:AFS and the Appdefaults Section, Previous:realms (krb5.conf), Up:krb5.conf
Many Kerberos 4 sites also run the Andrew File System (AFS).
Modern AFS servers (OpenAFS > 1.2.8) support the AFS 2b token format.
This allows AFS to use Kerberos 5 tickets rather than version 4
tickets, enabling cross-realm authentication. By default, the
krb524d service will issue the new AFS 2b tokens. If you are
using old AFS servers, you will need to disable these new tokens.
Please see the documentation of the

Rising on diners' desire for speed, portability and a low price, breakfast visits at quick-service restaurants grew 5 percent during the year ended in February, according to recent data from the NPD Group.
Breakfast sandwiches and other on-the-go items showed particular growth during that time, as convenience reigns supreme when it comes to restaurant breakfasts, the market researcher notes.
Breakfast has become a QSR battleground of sorts since McDonald's went the way of all day, as a number of chains have raced to amp up their a.m. offerings in response.
Taco Bell debuted an expanded breakfast menu earlier this year, adding a number of new items that sell for just $1, while Burger King this month launched its buzzy Egg-Normous Burrito.
In addition, Wendy's—one of the last chainwide breakfast holdouts in its segment—looks poised to roll out its breakfast offerings to more markets.
During the next few years, Americans' total consumption of breakfast and morning snacks is expected to rise at a rate that outpaces the nation's population growth, NPD says.

From about 1966 to 1977 I lived in a house at 74 King's Road, Windsor. It was set behind some grand old buildings overlooking the Long Walk. It was situated in an exclusive area. A narrow drive just off King's Road itself led to not just 74 but also to number 76. Both the houses were apparently designed in a very modern style for their time by an architect who lived at the latter. His name was Edward Whiteley.
I used to visit his wife Beryl now, and again as I a child. She was a very idealistic, and intellectual woman. She kept her home spotlessly clean, and there was very little furniture in the place. Sadly, she had no children by Edward.
Sometimes, I would read books aloud to her outside her front door. She notably introduced me to Alice In Wonderland, and Alice Through The Looking Glass. I introduced her to the comic world of Catweazle which was a well-known TV series. I read the book based on it to her, and she was much taken by it. Infact, I actually met Richard Carpenter the author of Catweazle via the Puffin Club, and even got his autograph which I treasured.
We hardly saw Edward Whitely. Indeed, we used to call him Red Ted as we thought that he might have been a spy for the Communists! Infact, I recall seeing inside his home the large volumes of Karl Marx's Capital. At the time, I did not understand, and appreciate their full importance, but I do clearly recall the white bearded image of Marx himself on the covers. Beryl was also very left of centre too. In this respect, she, and Edward were like two peas in a pod.
My mater, pater, and myself though were very right of centre. My mater would sometimes have arguments with Beryl which may have lead to a rift in relations. As for myself, I in later life moved from right to left wing of the political spectrum as it seemed to be infinitely more ethical than Capitalism.
Anyway, if I recall rightly Edward was the architect who designed the YWCA, or Young Womens' Christian Association next to the drive that lead to our property. It overlooked the Long Walk, and has since been demolished. However, it was originally opened by the Queen, and I recall trying to film the event with my pater's cine camera.
Ofcourse, it must be remembered here that we are talking about the sixties, and the seventies. It was the time of the Soviet Union, and the insanity of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) via nuclear war, and pamphlets on the "ridiculous" Protect and Survive. Apart from that, there were the Powers Cuts which were a minor "inconvenience". Almost everyday too the News on the television reported strikes as well as the shootings of soldiers in Ireland.......
Anyway, it was at the Windsor home that I had my psychic experiences. The key ones are documented in the article entitled The Realization of the Psychic. They occurred in the main in my bedroom which was small, and comfortable. There was a "cupboard" whose shelves acted as place for my many annuals, and books on history (which included notably writings by R.J. Unstead, and the Larousse Encyclopedias on Ancient/Modern History, and Archaeology, et cetera).
I used to have binders which stored the excellent full colour magazines of Tell Me Why (the original large A5 size ones). I learnt a lot about the world, and its culture through them. Later on, I "graduated" to collecting Look and Learn. This too was another excellent educational magazine....but Tell Me Why was my original delight.
Ofcourse, like many children of the day I used to collect the splendid TV 21 which produced comic strips of the excellent Gerry Anderson puppets series notably Thunderbirds, and Captain Scarlet which were all the rave.
Once, I recall that Beryl had a friend who worked as a puppeteer at the production "factory" of the series in nearby Slough (on the local trading estate to be more precise). I asked the former to ask the latter what the meaning was of SIG in Captain Scarlet, and was told that it meant Spectrum is Green.
Once as a child apparently, I shot right in front of a car driven by Princess Margaret along with the Queen at a Polo Match. Fortunately, they stopped just in time....
PS. Before living in Windsor I lived in the first half of 1960s in Ditton Road, Langley. It was there that mater, and pater met Bobby Schultz. She was married to a German POW. Anyway, she claimed that she was directly descended from King Henry IV, and the Bollingbroke family. She certainly had a stately air of "superiority" about her which I liked.
Some Relevant Material
The link below shows King's Road, and the drive leading to 74, and 76. Opposite it can be seen the Long Walk, Windsor.
The following is from Thamesweb, and deals with The Long Walk.

The Copper Horse on Snow Hill, and the view north along The Long Walk towards Windsor Castle and the George IV gateway. This picture was taken in the 1930s and shows the young Horse Chestnut and London Plane trees shortly after the replanting of the Long Walk. The removal of the old trees along the full length of the Long Walk was not completed until 1946.
In 1859 a Commission, of which the Duke of Bedford was President, inspected the Long Walk, and recommended ("...after mature consideration...") that the old trees, when dead, dangerous, or decayed, should be gradually replaced by young elms between the Castle and the Double Gates, adjacent to Park Street, but from that point to the Statue of George III on Snow Hill, the soil proved unsuitable for elms and so there should be a gradual substitution of oak for elm in that part of the avenue. This plan was therefore adopted on a small scale in 1861, when a small enclosure was planted with oaks on the east side in the line of the Avenue. In 1879, three other enclosures were formed on the same principle, one either side of Snow Hill, and another opposite the plantation created in 1861.
Elms were felled and replaced with Horse Chestnut and London Plane working north from the Copper Horse end, significant work being undertaken in 1921 and in the early 1930s at which time the decision was made to widen the distance between the lines of trees on each side of the avenue.
Many of the trees by this time were in need of replacement.
Following an outbreak of elm disease at the beginning of WWII, the avenue at the northern end was felled in 1943, work starting on 30th August of that year, with the entire replanting completed by February 1946. The avenue as we know it today at the northern end dates from that time, planted with London Plane and Horse Chestnuts. The original plan was to decide after a period of thirty years or so which species to retain, but during the subsequent thinning in the 1970s, the mix was retained.
Arriving by road from the south-east, from Old Windsor, you will cross The Long Walk and enjoy views up and down the avenue, towards the Copper Horse southwards, and the Castle to the north.
NB There are no official parking places nearby, and cars and cycles are not permitted to ride along the Long Walk. If arriving by coach the driver will slow down for a few moments to allow photographs but will be unable to stop. Car parking may be possible in the side roads to the west, but the best plan is to park in one of the town centre car parks and walk east from The Guildhall past the Parish Church into Park Street, entering the Long Walk through the Park Street gateway, middle left of the picture above and below.

Luck, Coincidence, or Synchronicity?
By James Coyle, Author of The Freedom Book
Many see coincidences as embedded in a higher, transcendental force, a cosmic "glue," as it were, which binds random events together in a meaningful and coherent pattern. The question has always been: could such a harmonizing principle actually exist?
Or are skeptics right in regarding this as a product of wishful thinking, a consoling myth spawned by the intellectual discomfort and capriciousness of chance?
Mathematician Warren Weaver, in his book, Lady Luck: The Theory of Probability, recounts a fascinating tale of coincidence that stretches our traditional notions of chance to their breaking point.
The story originally appeared in Life magazine. Weaver writes:
The members of the choir, Life reported, wondered if their delay was "an act of God." Weaver calculates the staggering odds against chance for this uncanny event as about one chance in a million.
Coincidences such as these, some say, are almost too purposeful, too orderly, to be a product of random chance, which strains somewhat to accommodate them. But then how do we explain them?
Another definition for Synchronicity
Synchronicity at this point can be defined as a series of seemingly unrelated events which are connected via a hidden agenda.
The recent publication of the Superstring theory indicates that there may well be ten dimensions in existence, not merely the four that ones senses are currently aware of. (Length, breadth, width, time)
There is now considerable mathematical proof to indicate that ten dimensions exist. And most quantum physicists have given serious consideration to this theory. It would appear that the "hidden agenda" of synchronistic events may be transparent and obvious in one or more of these ten dimensions, but become opaque and difficult to fathom when viewed in our current restricted four dimensions.
And there is now at last a small amount of evidence to indicate that when an individuals subconscious mind-set is modified to encourage positive PK synchronistic events (luck) then synchronistic elements may be set into play which materialistic as PK Luck events in our "real time" dimension.
And conversely when a person becomes aware of a series of synchronistic events they can use this special knowledge to trigger a burst of luck.
What has been definitely proven however is that the mind-set of an individual influences their interaction with the environment, to an extent which can leave a person "stunned" at the positive results.
What I have discovered over the past 4 years is that if I call up a dream program to "induce" synchronistic events in my waking life .then instruct my mind to consciously recognize these events as a synchronistic train .I can usually recognize where they are leading to and be there at the right time and place to take advantage of them.
I have personally had at least a dozen of these recognizable synchronicity trains in the past 3 years and each one has bought me sometimes quite incredible luck. So much so that friends here in Vanuatu keep telling me how lucky I am!!

My ds passport is out of date literally the day after we get home does that matter?
Bumped for kallela
Check with the embassy in Dublin
6 months is what all travel agents advise but it's more so clients check passports are in date and bit all clients are irish passport holders so it's really to cover themselves.
Passports must be valid for the length of stay abroad (europe) so if it expires before you return this would be invalid. If it's the day after this would be fine but like others have said if there delays you may not be able to travel on the expired passport so would be a lot more hassles that stage so would apply for one before travelling
Ye never thought of flight being delayed! Might get stuck in Spain although I can think of worse things!
Found it strange myself mary. We've been away every year and have never been told it or seen it written on documents before. all our passports are well in date anyway so we're fine.
Seems a bit silly to have it all mentioned on all documents if it's not needed..
It seems daft to me to be honest lynney (and maybe the travel agents are just covering themselves). But I would imagine it would be on the Dept of Foregin affairs website if it was an actual requirement.
Or maybe the travel agents are making sure that when booking a holiday that people actually checked their passports and made sure they were valid before booking...
Ok - just googled there and entry to the USA requires a passport valid for 6 months after leaving US (but Ireland is an exception to that rule)...
Never saw the 6 month thing on travel stuff before but on this years ticket its written in big bold letters on the end and we had to sign a form in travel agent saying we'd read and understood this.
According to the Dept of Foreign Affairs website if you are travelling within Europe (am assuming they refer to EU here) your passport has to be valid up until the day of return.
I am not sure where the 6 months thing comes from - according to DFA website that is not applicable in the EU anyway...
We're going to Majorca and our travel documents state that all our passports should be valid for 6 months after our return date.
It could be a problem if your flight is delayed and you end up arriving home with an expired passport.
Just to Spain
Where are you going to?

"Mental Asylum" is a confessional piece that deals with the self and identity. This is a very private recording that was not intended to be seen by anyone, while knowing that film by its very nature implies an audience. It taps into the emotional potential of real life and explores showing the real, without any cut or filter. It allows for an intimate analysis of the artist's confidential experiences and emotions.
"Mental Asylum" is a revelation of the private self, a record of the mind in ill health. Here, video is used as a device extending the boundaries of interior dialogue to include the audience.

Because its Sehun birthday and he loves bubble tea lol xD Just a short fluff for baby Sehun.
Out of all the bubble tea shops in Seoul, you think that this one has to be your favorite. It's small, squeezed between two other larger stores, with only a few tables hidden in the back. It's mostly empty because no one knows about it and it's your secret spot for when you just want to be alone. The fact that their bubble tea is the best you've tasted to date is just an added bonus.
With a smile, you enter the shop, the cashier already knows you by name and asks if you'll be getting your regular; a medium taro bubble tea. You nod, getting out your wallet when you hear the door open again. You're surprised to see another customer there, especially a tall and slim young man with a simple black face mask in rather fashionable clothing. You think to yourself that he might be a university student and you turn back to the cashier to pay.
Holding your receipt, you go over to wait by the counter. The boy joins you shortly and you spare him another glance only to notice that he's already looking at you. Although you can't see half of his face because it's covered, his eyes are a beautiful, but intense shape and his staring makes you feel a bit intimidated. You're not sure if he's checking you out or glaring at you, but either way you avoid eye contact until you notice him pull down the face mask.
The rest of his face is as handsome as you expected. His features are all sharp and perfect and you vaguely think that he looks familiar.
"Taro Bubble Tea!"
A voice sounds and you snap out of it, looking around for your order and noticing that instead of one cup there's two. The boy beside you, who looks like he's about to ask you something, looks down at the drinks too and reaches forward to take one - coincidentally going for the same one as you.
Your fingers brush and you apologize quickly, grabbing the other drink in embarrassment. You hurry towards the door, looking down at your cup once you're outside and that's when you notice that instead of your name it says Sehun.
"Sehun?" You mumble to yourself before your eyes go wide. Sehun? As in Oh Sehun of EXO? You turn to look back and there he is, the same boy from the shop. You're surprised to see him behind you and you stop walking so he can catch up.
"I think I took yours by accident." He says and once you get a good, close look at him you're amazed by the fact that it is Sehun. How could you have not noticed such a famous idol from first glance?
"O-Oh...." You start and Sehun chuckles.
"I'm sorry, it was just that I got distracted by the sight." His half smirk gives you the idea that the 'sight' he's talking about is you and again you feel your cheeks flare up.
"Ah, uh-"
You're not sure exactly how to even answer, but Sehun reaches out and offers to exchange drinks. When you switch you look down and see that this one has your name on it and something else scrawled in the corner. You look closer and notice that it's a phone number.
"You're really pretty, you should call me sometime. I would stay and chat now, but I'm a little busy."
Your mouth opens agape, but nothing comes out. Is Oh Sehun flirting with you? You guess so by the way he keeps staring and smiling.
"You'll call right?" He asks and you nod slowly. Sehun grins, looking at his watch before excusing himself. He waves as he walks off and you look at him and back down at your bubble tea in disbelief.
If that small store was your favorite before, now you're sure it's going to be your favorite forever.
Tbh I never had bubble tea.... Is it really that good??

ICRC- Somalia: Reuniting families fleeing from Yemen
(Medeshi)- Situations of armed conflict and other situations of violence and disasters, cause far more reaching anguish than what we see on the surface. In the midst of terror and panic, family members can be separated in minutes. In the chaos and confusion, searching for loved ones can be difficult and could lead to years of uncertainty about their fate.
In Somalia, the ICRC, in collaboration with the Somali Red Crescent Society (SRCS) has been trying to re-establish contact between relatives separated by conflict. The situation in the country remains fragile and efforts to locate people and put them back in touch with their families are ongoing.
Fleeing armed conflict in Yemen
More recently, the need for this crucial service has grown with the escalating conflict in Yemen. Since the conflict began in March, close to 19,000 people have fled for safety to the shores of Somalia. The bulk of the arrivals are in Bossaso, Puntland region, with approximately 13,000 people reported to have arrived there by the end of June.
Zeynab, a Somali returnee from Yemen, arrived in Bossaso with her three children. The sweltering hot weather that greeted them, highs of 40 degrees, is a stark reminder that the life they had become accustomed to at Kharaz refugee camp in Lahj, in the south-west of Yemen, is no more.
"I remember preparing breakfast for my children, but it was not meant to be. The gun fire and explosions had become intense. The fighting was at our doorstep. We had no choice but to flee for safety."
She lost contact with her husband amid the chaos. Fortunately, upon arriving at Bossaso, SRCS volunteers helped her re-establish contact with her husband.
"No news from my husband for close to a month. I was so worried. I heard his voice on the phone and was relieved he is alive." Zeynab said.
The torment of uncertainty over her husband's fate has been eased.
Ahmed Zaroug, protection coordinator overseeing the restoring ramily links (RFL) programme in Somalia explains ICRC's involvement.
"The situation in Yemen has consequences that extend beyond its borders. We are saddened by the impact it is having on the civilian population. While ICRC is trying to deliver essential needs in Yemen, here in Somalia, with the SRCS, we help the refugees and returnees reconnect with their families."
He adds, "It gives them peace of mind to know the fate and whereabouts of their loved ones."
The Somali Red Crescent volunteers also provide medical aid to the arrivals, some of whom are visibly unwell after the long voyage.
ICRC has been assisting victims who fled the violence in Yemen re-establishing contact with their relatives as well as seeking to clarify the fate of those who remain missing. As of the end of June, over 4,000 phone calls had been made to families by those arriving from Yemen.
Family contact for detainees
The RFL program in Somalia also extends to detainees. Visits to people deprived of their freedom is a central part of the ICRC's work around the world. Detainees must benefit from humane treatment throughout their time in captivity and families must be aware of their fate and have a chance to be in contact with them.
In Somalia, ICRC helps detainees trace their families and communicate with them through the exchange of Red Cross messages (RCMs). In 2014, a total of 3,590 RCMs were exchanged while 22 detainees were able to trace the whereabouts of their families.

The Sopranos
Reviewed by Beth Hannan Rimmels
If the networks were serious about stopping audience erosion, all they'd have to do is take a few lessons from The Sopranos, and I don't mean by doing a dozen crime-themed clones.
The biggest mistakes the networks make is being too twitchy and too fast on the trigger. No show can build an audience when it airs at a different date and time every few weeks. New episodes of The Sopranos air at 9 p.m. Sunday. On the rare occasions HBO changes its time slot, such as pushing it back an hour on Superbowl Sunday, it advertises the change heavily. HBO also makes it easy to see by airing episodes multiple times. NBC and ABC are experimenting with that by allowing repeats of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Once & Again on USA and Lifetime, and it seems to have helped both shows.
HBO's habit of giving series 13-episode commitments helps, too. It gives viewers a chance to get the feel for the show without worrying about it disappearing in the night, and it allows the writers to build a satisfying story arc that won't be severed prematurely. The first episode of The Sopranos was a touch surreal with Tony's obsession for the ducks, anxiety attacks, etc. Many viewers didn't know how to take it, but the show was around long enough to develop an addictive rhythm.
But the main thing that separates The Sopranos from the rest of the television pack is quality. It starts with the writing, continues with the casting all the way down to its authentic New Jersey settings.
Creator David Chase's characters are all-too human in their obsessions, vulnerabilities and agendas. Malevolent Livia (Nancy Marchand) is the mother from hell all the more dangerous for her subtlety, whereas another program would have simply made her a shrew. Unfulfilled by her marriage and unconsoled by the Church, Carmela (Edie Falco) uses conspicuous consumption in a futile attempt to fill the void in her life. College-bound Meadow is proving to follow the family tradition of manipulation. New cast member Richie Aprile (David Proval), brother to the late mob boss Jackie, is a bizarre mix of old-school tradition, new age practices and powder keg temper. Yet even Richie isn't immune to Janice Soprano's (Aida Turturro) tricks. She's her mother's daughter in every way, and only time will tell how much scorched earth she leaves behind.
And center stage is Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini), struggling to be a good father and husband (not counting his mistress) and trying to uphold old-school mob values amid the grays areas of today. Gandolfini is brilliant and the linchpin for an outstanding show. If any note of his performance rang false, the show would collapse. Instead, the characters are living, breathing people who never cease to surprise us.

Here is a little sneak peek of a guest blogpost I did for the This&That Surfstitch blog. I've started to develop a habit of layering my necklaces and i'm thinking it's the beginning of an unhealthy obsession. If I didn't already wear enough jewellery i've now decided to double up on my neck bling-age, possible triple if I do dare.
Check out the full post here.

Wedding Ideas. Wednesday , February 21st , 2018 - 09:56:50 AM
Quote from Pre Wedding Photo Shoot Ideas :
Artwork related Shoots
People who are artistic and love to admire art may have some innovative approaches with artworks highlighting their relation with each other. Crafts work or playing with colors both lend their own magic. A rising sun, a gasping wave or a breezy morning lending a picturisation of its own depicted in the artwork will personify the relation to the maximum extent.

text: Even though I dislike shopping, I'm remembering Black Friday 2008 with fondness and a huge smile. That day was a game-changing day for me. I bought new kitchen appliances that day (saved $2000!) because I was putting my condo on the market the following month, leaving a secure, full-time university teaching job for a part-time one, and moving where I wanted to live even though the cost of living was triple. For two years, my income would be cut in half and I was losing health and retirement benefits. I took a sabbatical from the professional chamber music group I was in. I reduced my public performances by over 90%. Little did I know the depth of discovery, richness and clarity that would come from those choices. Read More

Macau (Day 1)
While the US (and certainly China) doesn't consider Macau a separate country just as it doesn't consider Hong Kong a separate country, these two special administrative regions are autonomous in every way except when it comes to having their own army. They have separate currency, immigration policies, postal services, police, etc. and they speak Cantonese rather than Mandarin. The only real thing not "separate" aside from the aforementioned army is the "country" they belong to i.e. the People's Republic of China. So no Macau is not country 72 for me even though it feels like it as I pass through immigration and excitedly hope for my Macau passport stamp which I unfortunately did not receive.
So how do you get to the most densely populated "country" in the world? Well from the China Ferry Terminal in HK I took the Turbojet round trip for a day trip for $330HK (like $33USD) and off to country number 71.5 I went 😉
I met a new friend, Ling from Shanghai, on the boat who taught me many things and provided me with an itinerary for mainland China not to mention the fact that I acquired a lunch date upon my arrival to Shanghai. From the Macau Ferry Terminal, I picked up some MOP (Macau Pataca) and then jumped aboard the free shuttle to the Grand Lisboa Casino. What? A casino? You heard me right! Macau is the Las Vegas of China.
In 1997 for Hong Kong and 1999 for Macau, the pragmatism of China's then ruler reared its not so ugly head. HK and Macau wanted to remain capitalist countries but China wanted to call them their own so "One Country, Two Systems" came into play and the result: a non-communist, let's go get our gamble on Macau, China was formed.
So let's go get our gamble on first! Why the Grand Lisboa? Well it's closest to historic downtown Macau which I really want to see and it's a free shuttle ride. Moreover, it's called the Grand Lisboa. What's so interesting about this you might ask? Well not too long ago, Macau was a Portuguese territory. This is fascinating to me. Here in Macau you get Portuguese architecture with Cantonese on the buildings, Portuguese on the signs, the St. Paul Ruins, and you can eat my favorite desert so far from around the world – NATAS from, you guessed it, Portugal! And all of this after doubling my money at a casino in a Chinese territory with a Portuguese name.
There is enough uniqueness in that alone to warrant a visit to this incredible little island. Furthermore, if you have time, you can bungee jump from the top of the 11th tallest building in the world – the Macau Tower. I'm not sure whether I'm grateful that I don't have the time or not given that is so something I would do and it is so something that scares the you know what out of me!
That's all for now from country 71.5 – the Vegas of China – Macau.

Grim Future For the Public Hall and Library
How Our Hospice Shop Makes A Difference
Shirehampton Year 4s Go Back In Time
It's Reading Men at Brightstowe!
The Bristol Shiplovers Society
Update from A Forgotten Landscape
St. Marys Registers - December 2016
Shirehampton Evergreens - Table Top Sale
What is going on? Because of severe financial cuts by Bristol City Council the Public Hall will lose 25% of its annual income this year. The library service across Bristol faces major cuts, and it is inevitable that some libraries will lose all their funding.
It is possible that Shirehampton Library could be in that position. (An announcement on the council budget is expected in February)
The trustees of Shirehampton Public Hall Community Association are considering a range of options for the future of the hall and also including the possibility of the library becoming a community library managed by the hall and local volunteers.
The proposals under discussion include:
We are having an Open Day on Saturday 25th February 10am to 4pm to showcase what the hall and the library already do and to give Shirehampton residents the opportunity to influence what happens in the future. Do you want the hall to decline and the library to close?
Break is changing young lives by supporting children, young people and familes in four key areas:
We came to Shirehampton High Street 18 months ago. As a local girl I wanted the shop to be involved and to help the community. We do this at Break by selling high quality items at the lowest possible price.
We had a fantastic response to our ĎSanta Comes to Towní at Christmas with one parent commenting;
ďI cannot afford to take my children to the Mall to see Father Christmas. This is free and amazing.Ē
We are a very friendly shop and have a lot of regular customers, knowing most by name or with a wave in the street.
We have had many excellent donations but always need more.
We also need volunteers, so if you have some spare time, would like to work in a happy, friendly place, then please give me,Lorraine, a call on 0117 9381982 or call into the shop.

St. Peter's Hospice is Bristolís only adult hospice, providing care and support to over 2,670 life-limited patients each year.
All services are provided free of charge but the hospice relies on donations from the public as well as funds raised through its 50 charity shops, to continue providing vital care.
One of those important hospice shops is the Shirehampton store on the High Street, which has been serving the community and raising funds for the charity for over 25 years.
Stocking an amazing variety of womenswear, menswear, accessories and household items the shop also features a dedicated ĎKids Sectioní with toys, books and clothing being added each day.
In 2015-2016 the shop successfully generated £13,000 profit for St Peterís Hospice, which is the equivalent of 65 community nurse visits to patients within their own homes.
Run by two full-time members of staff; shop manager Paige and assistant manager Lin, the shop also relies on the help of eight dedicated volunteers who operate the tills, sort out the stock and display items. Some of these volunteers have been with the shop from the day it opened, and some have been offering their time for just a few months.
Although this help is wonderful, the shop needs more volunteer support to continue its good work.
St Peterís Hospice Shirehampton shop manager, Paige Martin, said: ďThe shop generates a huge source of income for the hospice and provides bargains for people in the community too.
ďWeíd love to welcome new volunteers to our team and any contributions of time, big or small will be greatly appreciated. No experience is necessary and volunteers can donate as much or as little time as they can.
ďVolunteering at our shops means that as much of the funds raised as possible go towards the hospice. Itís also a great way to meet new people and learn new skills. ďIíd also like to say thank you to the community for all of the generous donations they give to us. Without great quality items for sale, we wouldnít be able to do what we do!Ē
To find out more and volunteer for St Peterís Hospice Shirehampton shop please call Paige on 0117 982 7960 or visit www.stpetershospice.org.uk for more information.

I took this picture of a stunning Red Admiral on November 28th. I had also snapped it three days earlier in almost the same spot on our garden wall. It was sunning itself on particularly bright warm days and I believe it was the same insect, as I studied the markings from both days and they looked identical.
As I sit here writing, I have watched a starling and a beautiful long tailed tit sharing the fat ball feeder. I recently sent for my Big Garden Bird Watch pack from the RSPB and am now excited about doing my bit to record exactly what is going on in my garden in a one hour period. The pack even contained a sachet of organic coffee to enjoy whilst waiting and watching! The watch is from 28th to 30th January, so I will let you know my own results next month. Sadly, the data from these bird counts has revealed and sad statistic that one of our most marvellous and popular visitors, the Song Thrush, have declined by an agonising 98% in the last decade! I find this incredibly tragic and feel it is only one example of mankindís often highly damaging impact on our wildlife.
One positive success story is the Gold Finch. I like to think that my constant supply of Niger seed in the BS11 postal district has had an impact!! Their numbers have soared by an amazing 89%.
Spring is now not too far away, although today the country is bracing itself for snow! I, for one, am looking foward to the next few weeks, as the days get longer and the herons return to heir nest sites just along the river.
Happy nature watching,
Bobbie Perkins

The Wild Plants of the Shirehampton Area
For the third year in succession, I walked a loop round Shirehampton to record the wild plants in flower over the New Year.
The Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland allows three hours over the period 1-4 January and there have been about 400 lists submitted so far. This year I managed only 40 species, against 78 last year and 60 the year before. Iíve seen 25 plants flowering every year and six of this yearís I hadnít seen flowering before, although for one, a rare Fumitory, I had to make a diversion into Avonmouth to see it.
Just about everyoneís counts were down, largely because this year we had frosts before Christmas and for instance the gloriously named Shaggy Soldier (an annual with hairy stems and leaves and tiny five-petalled diasy-like flowers) was reduced to mushy black remains where it grows on Hung Road.
Unsurprisingly, the highest counts tend to be near the coast in the south of England and Wales, which was why the Somerset Rare Plants Group took the steam train from Bishops Lydeard and went off to Watchet. On a cold wet day only the braver flowers were out (a dozen of us) but we got 69 species on our list, currently the seventh highest score across Britain and Ireland.
Against a wall in a car park, we found a young plant with stiff narrow leaves, they were impossible to tear. We decided it was an escaped Cabbage-palm.
ďIíve seen that beforeĒ I said ďor something like it, in gutters in Shirehampton.Ē So when I came down to my own New Year plant hunt the following day, a rather sunny day at that, I was also looking out for similar seedlings. It wasnít difficult to find some.
Subject to confirmation, that would be a plant new to Bristol and Gloucestershire in the wild.
ďNot a bad way to start the year,Ē I thought to myself.

On the 22nd of December, the oldest resident of Penhill Residential home celebrated her 100th birthday with a visit from the Lord Mayor, his wife and granddaughter.
Lillian Hobbs, a remarkable lady who was a teacher for many years and is widely travelled, enjoyed talking with the lord mayor who had promised to mark her centenary earlier this year when he visited Penhill back in September with a return visit to the home.
Later that day, Penhill held a large party to celebrate with friends, family and all the other residents.

As part of our Stone Age to Iron Age topic, the Year 4s at Shirehampton Primary school took part in a History Day.
The children went back in time to learn how to make fire, cook bread, design and make pottery, tell stories through cave painting and became Celtic warriors.
They found out first-hand what it was like to live over 2000 years ago and how life was different.
Making fire was our first priority and, as frustrating as it was, the children only had flint and steels to get their fires going. These fires were then used to bake flat breads which the children made themselves to a traditional recipe.
The scariest part of the day was when the children became warriors and painted their faces with wode! It was a lot of fun and the children had a greater understanding of that time period.

Oasis Academy Brightstowe hosted a ďread inĒ with a difference as local men including politicians and footballers dropped in to the school library.
The ďItís Reading MenĒ event was aimed at Year 7 boys who need extra motivation with their reading.
Several adults from different walks of life attended the event, including Mayor of Bristol Marvin Rees, Bristol Rovers players Ollie Clarke and Danny Greenslade, and Matt Butler, Regional Academies Director at Oasis South West.
Oasis Academy Brightstoweís librarian, Kathryn Gardner-Graham, said: ďAll the men had to do is listen to some Year 7 boys read to them and be an encouraging ear.
ďWe ran this event for the second time last year and it has had such a positive impact on our boys who are now in Year 8. Studies show that many boys need a positive male role model who reads, so that they are motivated to read themselves.
ďWe all know that having a reading age that is equal to their chronological age is essential if young people are to have a chance of gaining good GCSE grades in the future, which is why we are working so hard to improve their reading and attitude to reading at this stage.Ē

THE Bristol Branch of the Merchant Navy Association is holding a memorial service at the Merchant Navy Memorial on the Welsh Back, Bristol, on Sunday 5th February 2017 at 1200 Noon for 12.30p.m.
The service will be conducted by our chaplain, the Rev Philip Auden MNM, and it is to commemorate the loss of Bristol boys between the age of 15 and 16 year old who were lost on merchant ships in the service of their country in World War One and World War Two.
The names of the boys will be inscribed on a plaque which will be unveiled by the sister of one of the boys and the event will be filmed by BBC Inside Out West, who will attend.
The names of the boys were found by our members in a book by Billy McGee entitled ďThey Shall Grow Not OldĒ in 2010. The book describes how 500 boys aged 16 and under died serving in the Merchant Navy in World War Two alone. Their bodies were never returned to their families so many of their relatives will not know what happened to them. They have no grave but the sea.
We are very grateful to our memorial manager; Vice-President Ted Williams, who has ordered the plaque and helped trace some of the relatives of the Lost Boys.
Captain Hamish Grant, President, Bristol Branch Merchant Navy Association.

Hi Folks!
Already this month it is possible to notice the evening time gradually drawing out which makes me feel that we are marching on towards spring. I simply cannot wait as I am not a fan of the cold winter weather.
On Tuesday, 14th February (which is during the school half term holiday) we will be holding a Holiday Pancake Party in church and the churchyard. Call in and join in the fun - especially if you have young children. This is also St Valentineís Day, so donít forget that card for your loved one! This timely reminder will hopefully stop any domestic dispute!!!
Just 14 days later - Tuesday, 28th February - is Shrove Tuesday, when Pancakes will be the order of the day once again from 10.00 am until 12.00 noon. Shrove Tuesday, known very often as Pancake Day, is the day preceding Ash Wednesday (the first day of Lent), when originally food not eaten during Lent, like eggs and butter, were used up before the fasting began Ė often in pancakes. The word ďshroveĒ is a form of the English word ďshriveĒ which means to obtain absolution for oneís sins by Confession or doing penance. Thus Shrove Tuesday gets its name from the custom for Christians to be ďshrivenĒ before the start of Lent.
The next day (Wednesday 1st March) is of course Ash Wednesday and is the beginning of the forty days of Lent leading up to Easter. This did not include Sundays which was a day of worship. Ash Wednesday derives its name from the practice of blessing ashes made from Palm branches blessed on the previous Palm Sunday and placing them on the heads of participants to the accompaniment of words such as ďRepent and believe in the words of the GospelĒ or ďRemember that you are dust and to dust you will returnĒ.
On Ash Wednesday evening at 7.00 pm there will be service of Holy Communion during which you may receive, if you wish, a mark of the cross in ash upon your forehead.
May I remind you that Messy Church is always on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 3.30 pm. Children have an opportunity to engage in various crafts and refreshments are provided. This is all entirely free.
Now an apology is due to those of you who were inconvenienced when you discovered the Pembroke Road Gate to the churchyard was chained and padlocked over part of the Christmas Holiday. This is done every Christmas Day after the 10.00 am Holy Communion Service and includes Boxing Day. This is done to protect the churchyard path from becoming a public right of way and for it to remain a private path under our control. You can use it again without fear of it being locked again until next Christmas Day!
We had our Alternative New Yearsí Eve Party in Church on Friday 6th January which included a three course supper! There were games and quizzes to test the ďold grey matterĒ which were great fun. Not only that, we also had the chimes of Big Ben and a piper complete with kilt and sporran to pipe In the New Year on his bagpipes, whilst we all joined hands together and sang Auld Lang Syne. On our video screen we were also able to enjoy a Fireworks Display. A really superb evening!
Hopefully, this edition of ďShireĒ will reach your letter boxes before Monday, 30th January as the Brass Wind Band will be holding their Annual Concert in St Maryís at 7.30 pm that evening. This is always a great sound - the Band have two sections - the Big Band and the Concert Band. Tickets will be available on the door price £3.00. Concessionary price £1.00. This Band is the one which leads our service in church each Remembrance Sunday. Donít miss an evening of music to suit all tastes!
Bye for now. C.M.E.
Come and enjoy a delicious cream tea and sing some favourite songs of praise at St Andrewís Church, Avonmouth on 26th February at 3pm. Everyone welcome, Free Entry but donations welcome.

There will be refreshments available at a easonable price and plenty of bargains. In the evening there will be Prize Bingo.
Doors open at 6pm and eyes down at 7pm. Please come alpong for a nice day out.
Dear Editor,
My name is June Slobodzian (nee Stonelake). I would like to try and find an old friend whom I grew up with in Shirehampton before my family emmigrated to Canada in 1963. I lived in Lower High Street and we first met when she was 3 years old and myself 5 years. We stayed in contact into the 80ís then lost touch.
Her name is Carol Templer. (maiden name) and I believe her birth date is Nov 5th (aprox) 1954. Carol lived on the corner of Lower High and Penpole Lane with her parents. She was an only child and went to Primary School in Shirehampton. I believe she went to Oasis Academy for her secondary schooling. Carol married (unfortunately I do not know her married name) and she had two sons. The last time I visited Shirehampton she was living near St. Bernards Road, and running a bridal shop from her home.
This picture of the two of us was taken many years ago. Carol is the one without the glasses. It was taken in my Aunt and Uncles home (Sam and Joyce Stonelake). They lived at 56 St Bernard Road.
I would be grateful if anyone reading this and knows of her whereabouts could either contact me or ask Carol to. My email address is email@example.com.
Thanking you in anticipation.
June Slobodzian, 82 Fairholt Road South, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada L8M2T7.
Dear Editor,
I was very pleased when the new pedestrian crossing and road markings were completed outside the Post Office. I have long considered this section of road to be hazardous, not least because of illegal and thoughtless parking, which narrowed the road considerably at busy times.
However, to my astonishment, I have noted that there are still people parking on the zig zag markings adjacent to the pedestrian crossing! How I wish I was a roving traffic warden!!
What will it take for a lazy few to abide by the law?
WHITE ZIG ZAG LINES: White zig zags lines are classed as dual enforcement restriction, this means the council can issue tickets to vehicles parked in contravention, likewise the Police can also issue to vehicles parked in contravention. The only difference is the Police fine also carries penalty points. You cannot park on these at any time... The Fixed Penalty Notice issued by the police is £60 with 3 penalty points.
Dear Editor,
Following our brief Christmas visit to Shirehampton, we must congratulate all those involved with the wonderful display on The Green this year. The only thing which spoiled it was the shops which hadnít remembered to leave the lights on the trees outside their properties, as seems to happen every year!
Well done again.
Roger & Gerry Cooper
(ex-Shire residents now living near Penzance)
Dear Editor,
Having read the current, January, Issue of ďShireĒ I would like to comment upon the excellent presentation of such. So much hard work behind the scenes must go on to produce such an informative publication. Itís great to keep up to date with events in our old stomping ground. I am an ex Portway Boysí School attendee in the early to mid 50ís and with my, now Wife, participated in many Twyford House Pantomimes.
Long may your work continue. Kindest regards, Denise & Keith FitzGerald. Gawler(Adelaide) South Australia

Jim, who for many years was Chairman of Avonmouth Community Council, passed away on 17th December.
Jim was a real character who, although having moved on retirement to Antona Court, West Town Road, was still a loyal advocate for the improvement of Avonmouth Village.
He was very intelligent, spoke several languages and extremely eloquent when it came to putting together a short but succinct letter to Bristol City Council and various government officials. He was the master at explaining local residentsí displeasure at the way Avonmouth Village was treated so unfairly when it came to planning applications, etc.
Most of these applications involved yet even more HGVs having to use the coast road to access the motorways via Crowley Way. Everytime Jim pushed the fact that to save time, money and further pollution to the Village a spur road should be built.
It was he who first reported the bulldozing of the Rabbit Fields one Sunday morning in April 1995 and campaigned ferociously to retain this 13 acre wildlife site for the enjoyment of local residents. Jim was also instrumental in fighting to halt the closure of Bobís Gym in the Old Bus Depot after the Council sold the building to a property developer.
This at a time when we had already lost the Shirehampton Swimming Baths and Robin Cousin Sports Centre. He presented a 2,000 signature petition to the Sports Council on this occasion. He fought to save the Roman Catholic Church when that was also sold off to a property developer.
Lastly, but by no means least, he composed and read a passionate statement at a BCC Forum Meeting against the proposal by the company Helius to build a bio mass wood incinerator site on Avonmouth Docks.
In 1999 Jim wrote a fascinating, funny piece about his memories of early childhood in Avonmouth and we hope that some short extracts from these in the book ďA Mouthful of MemoriesĒ compiled by Judy Helme (with help from Sue Davies and retired doctor, John Andrews) can be printed in the New Bridge at a later date.
Jim will be remembered by so many people with affection and respect.
ĎSHIREí newspaper is once again inviting applications from local organisations for a grant. If you wish to apply please advise us of the name of your group and how you serve the community.
If there is a specific sum you require for a particular project please also include that information. We regret we cannot issue grants to individuals.
Avonmouth Football Club has been around for almost 100 years and to try and re-connect with past members before our Centenary we will be hosting a Reunion Party on Saturday February 18th at the Club for all former players, members and associates.
The Football Club has a long and storied history in the BS11 area dating back to 1919, but with so many players/members coming and going during that time, the Club has lost contact with the majority.
Club President Bert Marsh and Chairman Will Masters Fry would love for word to spread of this event to try and get as many of our Alumni as possible to attend. So if you know of anyone with connections to the Club, please can you let them know. The event is free and there will be entertainment.
When, in 1974 the long process of building the bowling green was complete and declared ready to play on, bowlers from the port had a home of their own and no longer had to share the original Avonmouth Bowling Club Green in Avonmouth Road.
Built by En-Tout-Cas at a cost of around £7,500 the green was seen as one of the most ambitious sports projects undertaken by the PBA Club and a valuable addition to facilities in Nibley Road. Much hard work went into putting together facilities around the green such as seating, a fence and somewhere to change.
The inter-departmental league was formed by Ian Wilson and around 1980 the first two ladies - Ivy Gingell and Angela Simmons joined. By 1982 there was a ladies league team. The ladies committee for the league team comprised of Irene Whitfield, Captain, Shirley Parker, Secretary, Pat Warren and Irene Jenkins, Selectors.
Membership at this time was around 140 and it was not easy to find a place in the week-end friendly teams - such was the desire to bowl. If you did teas one week-end it did apparently improve your chances of having a game the following week.
Ron Jones was a crane driver at the port and he bowled on the new green from the start or very close to it and continued to do so very successfully on it and many other greens over very many years.
Ron and his wife Pat often bowled together and will be remembered by many in the bowling community as Pat and Ron, Shirehampton.
They retired from outdoor bowling about six years ago but continued to bowl indoors at the City and County Arena, still enjoying the game and all that goes with it.
Pat is still bowling but sadly Ron passed away in November. He will long be remembered by bowlers and those he worked with such as Alan Bennett who remembers Ron well both as a bowler and a fellow crane driver.
The club said farewell to another bowler, Valerie Gosling in December. Val came to the City and Port from Bristol Arrow and enjoyed her years bowling with the club until she became ill prior to the 2016 season and was not able to continue bowling.
The latest Sunday evening social event was on January 8th when more than thirty bowlers, family and friends enjoyed bingo, indoor putting, table skittles and skittles. It was a very full evening with the chance to win cash on the bingo and prizes on each of the other games.
Dave Povey was the Table Skittles Champion, Ken Davies won the skittles and Graham Neale the putting, after a hard fought play off.
The February social evening will be a quiz devised and presented by Gordon Dimond.
The next indoor bowls match is against Severnvale on Saturday February 4th and the final one of the series on March 4th against another local club side.

Remembering the true meaning of Memorial DayPosted:
Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, was officially proclaimed on May 5, 1868 by General John Logan, as a way of honoring those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the Civil War.
It was first observed on May 30, 1868. The first state to recognize the holiday was New York in 1873. By 1890 it was recognized by all northern states. The south did not acknowledge the day until after World War I; that's when the holiday changed from honoring those who died in the Civil War to honoring Americans who died fighting in any war.
It is now celebrated in almost every state on the last Monday in May (passed by Congress with the National Holiday Act of 1971 (P.L. 90 - 363).
Several southern states have an additional separate day for honoring the Confederate war dead: January 19 in Texas, April 26 in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi; May 10 in South Carolina; and June 3 (Jefferson Davis' birthday) in Louisiana and Tennessee.
To help remind Americans of the true meaning of Memorial Day, the "National Moment of Remembrance" resolution was passed on December 2000. It asks that at 3:00 PM local time all Americans "voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a Moment of remembrance and respect, pausing from whatever they are doing for a moment of silence or listening to Taps."
U.S. War Casualties: Civil War – Approximately 620,000 Americans died. The Union lost almost 365,000 troops and the Confederacy about 260,000. More than half these deaths were caused by disease.
World War I – 116,516 Americans died, more than half from disease.
World War II – 405,399 Americans died.
Korean War – 36,574 Americans died.
Vietnam Conflict – 58,220 Americans died. More than 47,000 Americans were killed in action and nearly 11,000 died of other causes.
Operation Iraqi Freedom – 4,466 U.S. service members have died.
Operation New Dawn – 66 U.S. service members have died.
Operation Enduring Freedom – 2,219 U.S. service members have died as of May 21, 2013.

One of the most tragic figures in Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is Denethor, the Steward of Gondor. Single-handedly for years and years he has warded off the forces of Mordor, keeping the greatest human kingdom of Middle-earth free from the darkness. Unfortunately, he takes steps to gain magical powers and clairvoyance that he cannot control...and if you haven't already read the book, I won't tell you what happens next.
German Lord of the Rings fan site Herr der Ringe reports that according to New Line Cinema, Australian actor John Noble has been cast in this important role.
I get this informations [sic] today straight from New Line:
Twenty-sixth and last but one of the Ruling Stewards of Gondor, father of Boromir and Faramir, will be played by John Noble!
Most of Noble's acting experience comes as a television/voice actor and stage director ¿ he's helmed over 80 plays in his career.

Fade to Black – by Kat McCarthy
The phone rings. It's her husband. She expects it to be a normal conversation but instead, she is thrown into slow motion. Something has happened. Something devastating. People she loves are in gut wrenching pain. She is in gut wrenching pain. The wonderful, beautiful life she has worked so hard to create has just changed in heart breaking ways and it will never again be the same.
Fade to black.
