Chester (pronounced /ˈtʃɛstər/) is a city in Cheshire, England. Lying on the River Dee, close to the border with Wales, it is home to 77,040 inhabitants,[1] and is the largest and most populous settlement of the wider unitary authority area of Cheshire West and Chester, which had a population of 328,100 according to the 2001 Census.[2] Chester was granted city status in 1541.
Chester was founded as a "castrum" or Roman fort with the name Deva Victrix in the year 79 by the Roman Legio II Adiutrix during the reign of the Emperor Vespasian.[3] Chester's four main roads, Eastgate, Northgate, Watergate and Bridge, follow routes laid out at this time – almost 2,000 years ago. One of the three main Roman army bases, Deva later became a major settlement in the Roman province of Britannia. After the Romans left in the 5th century, the Saxons fortified the town against the Danes and gave Chester its name. The patron saint of Chester, Werburgh, is buried in Chester Cathedral.
Chester was one of the last towns in England to fall to the Normans in the Norman conquest of England. William the Conqueror ordered the construction of a castle, to dominate the town and the nearby Welsh border. In 1071[citation needed] he created Hugh d'Avranches, the 1st Earl of Chester.
Chester has a number of medieval buildings, but some of the black-and-white buildings within the city centre are actually Victorian restorations.[4] Chester is one of the best preserved walled cities in the British Isles. Apart from a 100 metres (330 ft) section, the listed Grade I walls are almost complete.[5]
The Industrial Revolution brought railways, canals, and new roads to the city, which saw substantial expansion and development – Chester Town Hall and the Grosvenor Museum are examples of Victorian architecture from this period.
The Romans founded Chester as Deva Victrix in the 70s AD in the land of the Celtic Cornovii, according to ancient cartographer Ptolemy,[6] as a fortress during the Roman expansion northward.[7] It was named Deva either after the goddess of the Dee,[8] or directly from the British name for the river.[9] The 'victrix' part of the name was taken from the title of the Legio XX Valeria Victrix which was based at Deva.[10] A civilian settlement grew around the military base, probably originating from trade with the fortress.[11] The fortress was 20% larger than other fortresses in Britannia built around the same time at York (Eboracum) and Caerleon (Isca Augusta);[12] this has led to the suggestion that the fortress, rather than London (Londinium), was intended to become the capital of the Roman province of Britannia Superior.[13] The civilian amphitheatre, which was built in the 1st century, could seat between 8,000 and 10,000 people.[14] It is the largest known military amphitheatre in Britain,[15] and is also a Scheduled Monument.[16] The Minerva Shrine in the Roman quarry is the only rock cut Roman shrine still in situ in Britain.[17] The fortress was garrisoned by the legion until at least the late 4th century.[18] Although the army had abandoned the fortress by 410 when the Romans retreated from Britannia,[19] the civilian settlement continued (probably with some Roman veterans staying behind with their wives and children) and its occupants probably continued to use the fortress and its defences as protection from raiders from the Irish Sea.[18]
Deverdoeu was still one of two Welsh language names for Chester in the late 12th century; its other and more enduring Welsh name was 'Caerlleon', literally "the fortress-city of the legions", a name identical with that of the Roman fortress at the other end of the Welsh Marches at Caerleon in Monmouthshire, namely Isca Augusta. The colloquial modern Welsh name is the shortened form, Caer. The early Old English speaking Anglo Saxon settlers used a name which had the same meaning, Legacæstir, which was current until the 11th century, when, in a further parallel with Welsh usage, the first element fell out of use and the simplex name Chester emerged. From the 14th century to the 18th the city's prominent position in North West England meant that it was commonly also known as Westchester. This name was used by Celia Fiennes when she visited the city in 1698.[20]
Chester played a significant part in the Industrial Revolution which began in the North West of England in the latter part of the 18th century. The city village of Newtown, located north east of the city and bounded by the Shropshire Union Canal was at the very heart of this industry[citation needed] The large Chester Cattle Market and the two Chester railway stations, Chester General and Chester Northgate Station, meant that Newtown with its cattle market and canal, and Hoole with its railways were responsible for providing the vast majority of workers and in turn, the vast amount of Chester's wealth production throughout the Industrial Revolution.
Between 14 May 2007 and 6 July 2007, excavations were carried out in Grosvenor Park. The main aim was to find Cholmondeley's lost mansion, which was demolished in 1867.
A number of finds have come to light including:
A considerable amount of land in Chester is owned by the Duke of Westminster who owns an estate, Eaton Hall, near the village of Eccleston. He also has London properties in Mayfair.
Grosvenor is the Duke's family name, which explains such features in the City such as the Grosvenor Bridge, the Grosvenor Hotel, and Grosvenor Park. Much of Chester's architecture dates from the Victorian era, many of the buildings being modelled on the Jacobean half-timbered style and designed by John Douglas, who was employed by the Duke as his principal architect. He had a trademark of twisted chimney stacks, many of which can be seen on the buildings in the city centre.
Douglas designed amongst other buildings the Grosvenor Hotel and the City Baths. In 1911, Douglas' protégé and city architect James Strong designed the then active fire station on the west side of Northgate Street. Another feature of all buildings belonging to the estate of Westminster is the 'Grey Diamonds' – a weaving pattern of grey bricks in the red brickwork laid out in a diamond formation.
Towards the end of WWII, a lack of affordable housing meant many problems for Chester. Large areas of farmland on the outskirts of the city were developed as residential areas in the 1950s and early 1960s producing, for instance, the suburb of Blacon. In 1964, a bypass was built through and around the town centre to combat traffic congestion.
These new developments caused local concern as the physicality and therefore the feel of the city was being dramatically altered. In 1968, a report by Donald Insall[24] in collaboration with authorities and government recommended that historic buildings be preserved in Chester. Consequently, the buildings were used in new and different ways instead of being flattened.[25]
In 1969 the City Conservation Area was designated. Over the next 20 years the emphasis was placed on saving historic buildings, such as The Falcon Inn, Dutch Houses and Kings Buildings.
On 13 January 2002, Chester was granted Fairtrade City status. This status was renewed by the Fairtrade Foundation on 20 August 2003.
In 2007 Chester Council announced a 10-year plan to see Chester become a "must see European destination". At a cost of £1.3 billion it has been nicknamed Chester Renaissance.[26] A website was launched by the Renaissance team, so that interested parties could monitor progress on all the projects.[27]
There are overall, seven developments ongoing in Chester.
The Northgate Development project began in 2007 with the demolition of St. Martin's House on the city's ring road. At a cost of £460 million, Chester City Council and developers ING hope to create a new quarter for Chester. The development will see the demolition of the market hall, bus station, theatre and NCP car park. In its place will be a new multi-storey car park, bus exchange, performing arts centre, library, homes, retail space and a department store which will be anchored by House of Fraser.[28]
On October 31, 2008, it was revealed that Chester's much heralded Northgate development was to be put on hold until 2012 due to the ongoing credit crunch.[29] However a number of Chester's other Renaissance projects continue at pace. The current active projects are; The Delamere Street development[30] and The £60million HQ development.[31]
Chester is an unparished area within the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester as of 1 April 2009 replacing the old Chester City Council and the local ward is the City ward electing 3 councillors. A small area around Chester Castle remains a civil parish of Chester Castle.[32] The Council was elected in May 2008 and the current councillors for the City Ward are Max E A Drury, Richard Lowe, and Tom Parry, all three representing the Conservative Party.[33] The Member of Parliament for the City of Chester is Christine Russell.[34]
Chester is twinned with
Chester lies at the southern end of a 2-mile (3.2 km) Triassic sandstone ridge that rises to a height of 42 m within a natural S-bend in the River Dee (before the course was altered in the 18th century). The bedrock, which is also known as the Chester Pebble Beds, is noticeable because of the many small stones trapped within its strata. Retreating glacial sheet ice also deposited quantities of sand and marl across the area where boulder clay was absent.
The eastern and northern part of Chester consisted of heathland and forest. The western side towards the Dee Estuary was marsh and wetland habitats.
As with most of the United Kingdom, Chester has an oceanic climate.

There are 77,040 living within the Greater Chester urban area (65% of the total of Chester District). This population is forecast to grow by 5% in the period 2005 to 2021.[1] The resident population for Chester District in the 2001 Census was 118,210. This represents 17.5% of the Cheshire County total (1.8% of the North West population).[2]
The city's central shopping area includes its unique Rows or galleries (two levels of shops) which date from medieval times and are believed to include the oldest shop front in England.[36] The city has many chain stores, both in the centre and in retail parks to the west, and also features an indoor market, a department store (Browns of Chester, now absorbed by the Debenhams chain), and two main indoor shopping centres: The Grosvenor Mall and the Forum (a reference to the City's Roman past). The Forum, which houses stores and the Chester Market, will be demolished in the Northgate Development scheme to make way for new shopping streets, a new indoor market, an enlarged library, a car park and bus station, and a performing arts centre.[37]
Chester's main industries are now the service industries, comprising retail, tourism and financial services. Chester's main employer is Bank of America, formerly MBNA Europe. There are also several large financial firms including HBOS plc and M&S Money. At Ellesmere Port is a large Shell oil refinery. Just over the Welsh border to the west, near the village of Broughton, there is an Airbus UK factory (formerly British Aerospace), where the wings of Airbus aircraft, including the Airbus A380 are manufactured,[38] and there are food processing plants to the north and west. The Iceland frozen food company is based in nearby Deeside.
Chester has its own university, the University of Chester, and a major hospital, the Countess of Chester Hospital, named after Diana, Princess of Wales and Countess of Chester.
From about 1794 to the late 1950s, when the canal-side flour mills were closed, narrowboats carried cargo such as coal, slate, gypsum or lead ore as well as finished lead (for roofing, water pipes and sewerage) from the leadworks in Egerton Street (Newtown). Grain from Cheshire was stored in granaries on the banks of the canal at Newtown and Boughton and salt for preserving food arrived from Northwich.
The Chester Canal had locks down to the River Dee. Canal boats could enter the river at high tide to load goods directly onto seagoing vessels. The port facilities at Crane Wharf, by Chester racecourse, made an important contribution to the commercial development of the north-west region[citation needed].
The original Chester Canal was constructed to run from the River Dee near Sealand Road, to Nantwich in south Cheshire, and opened in 1774. In 1805, the Wirral section of the Ellesmere Canal was opened, which ran from Netherpool (now known as Ellesmere Port) to meet the Chester Canal at Chester canal basin. Later, those two canal branches became part of the Shropshire Union Canal network. This canal, which runs beneath the northern section of the city walls of Chester, is navigable and remains in use today.
The original plan to complete the Ellesmere Canal was to connect Chester directly to the Wrexham coalfields by building a broad-gauge waterway with a branch to the River Dee at Holt. However with the advent of railways and high land prices, the plan was eventually abandoned in the mid 19th century. If the waterway had been built, canal traffic would have crossed the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct heading north to Chester and the River Dee.
As the route was never completed, the short length of canal north of Trevor, near Wrexham was infilled. The Llangollen Canal, although designed to be primarily a water source from the River Dee, became a cruising waterway despite its inherent narrow nature.
It would be rail that was to bring Welsh coal to Chester.
Chester formerly had two railway stations. Chester General railway station remains in use but Chester Northgate closed in 1969 as a result of the Beeching Axe.[39] Chester Northgate, which was located North East of the city centre, opened in 1875 as a terminus for the Cheshire Lines Committee. Trains travelled via Northwich to Manchester Central. Later services also went to Wrexham General via Shotton Station. It was demolished in the 1970s; the site is part of the Northgate Arena leisure centre.
Chester General, which opened in 1848, was designed with an Italianate frontage. It now has seven designated platforms but once had more. The station lost its original roof in the 1972 Chester General rail crash. In September 2007 extensive renovations took place to improve pedestrian access, and parking.[40] The present station has manned ticket offices and barriers, waiting rooms, toilets, shops and a pedestrian bridge with lifts. Chester General also had a large marshalling yard and engine sheds, most of which has now been replaced with housing.
Normal scheduled departures from Chester Station are: multiple services on the North Wales Coast Line; Virgin Trains to London Euston via Crewe; Arriva Trains Wales to Manchester Piccadilly via Warrington Bank Quay and Cardiff Central via Wrexham General; Northern Rail to Manchester Piccadilly via Northwich; Merseyrail to Liverpool on the Wirral Line.
In late 1847 the Dee bridge disaster occurred when a bridge span collapsed as a train passed over the River Dee by the Roodee. Five people were killed in the accident. The bridge had been designed and built by famed-railway engineer Robert Stephenson for the Chester and Holyhead Railway. A Royal Commission inquiry found that the trusses were made of cast iron beams that had inadequate strength for their purpose. A national scandal ensued many new bridges of similar design were either taken down or heavily altered.
Chester had an extensive tram network during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It covered an area as far west as Saltney, on the Welsh border, to Chester General station, Tarvin Road and Great Boughton in the northwest. The network featured the narrowest gauge trams (3' 6") in mainland Britain, due to an act of Parliament which deemed that they must be the least obstructive possible.[citation needed]
The tramway was established in 1871 by Chester Tramways Corporation. It was horse-drawn until its electrification by overhead cables in 1903. The tramway was closed, like most others in the UK, in February 1930. All that remains are small areas of uncovered track inside the bus depot, and a few tram-wire supports attached to buildings on Eastgate/Foregate Street, although substantial sections of the track remain buried beneath the current road surface.
The city is a hub for major roads, including the M53 motorway towards the Wirral Peninsula and Liverpool and the M56 motorway towards Manchester. The A55 road runs along the North Wales coast to Holyhead and the A483 links the city to nearby Wrexham and Swansea to the far south.
Bus transport in the city is provided by First Group and Arriva, the council owned and operated ChesterBus (formerly Chester City Transport) having been sold to First Group in mid-2007. There are plans to build a new bus exchange in the city as well as a new coach station.
On June 19, 2008, then Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly named Chester as a Cycling Demonstration Town.[41] This initiative allows for substantial financial support to improve cycling facilities in the city, and a number of schemes are planned or already in development.[42]
Potential schemes include a new pedestrian and cycling bridge across the River Dee, linking the Meadows with Huntington and Great Boughton, an access route between Curzon Park and the Roodee, an extension to the existing greenway route from Hoole to Guilden Sutton and Mickle Trafford, and an access route between the Millennium cycle route and Deva Link.
The more unusual landmarks in the city are the city walls, the Rows and the black-and-white architecture. The walls encircle the bounds of the medieval city and constitute the most complete city walls in Britain,[5] the full circuit measuring nearly 2 miles (3 km).[43] The only break in the circuit is in the southwest section in front of County Hall.[44] A footpath runs along the top of the walls, crossing roads by bridges over Eastgate, Northgate, St Martin's Gate, Watergate, Bridgegate, Newgate, and the Wolf Gate, and passing a series of structures, namely Phoenix Tower (or King Charles' Tower), Morgan's Mount, the Goblin Tower (or Pemberton's Parlour), and Bonewaldesthorne's Tower with a spur leading to the Water Tower, and Thimbleby's Tower.[45] On Eastgate is Eastgate Clock which is said to be the most photographed clock in England after Big Ben.[46]
The Rows are unique in Britain.[47][48] They consist of buildings with shops or dwellings on the lowest two storeys. The shops or dwellings on the ground floor are often lower than the street and are entered by steps, which sometimes lead to a crypt-like vault. Those on the first floor are entered behind a continuous walkway, often with a sloping shelf between the walkway and the railings overlooking the street.[49] Much of the architecture of central Chester looks medieval and some of it is. But by far the greatest part of it, including most of the black-and-white buildings, is Victorian, a result of what Pevsner termed the "black-and-white revival".[50]
The most prominent buildings in the city centre are the town hall and the cathedral. The town hall was opened in 1869. It is in Gothic Revival style and has a tower and a short spire.[51] The cathedral was formerly the church of St Werburgh's Abbey. Its architecture dates back to the Norman era, with additions made most centuries since. A series of major restorations took place in the 19th century and in 1975 a separate bell tower was opened. The elaborately carved canopies of the choirstalls are considered to be one of the finest in the country. Also in the cathedral is the shrine of St Werburgh. To the north of the cathedral are the former monastic buildings.[52] The oldest church in the city is St John's, which is outside the city walls and was at one time the cathedral church. The church was shortened after the dissolution of the monasteries and ruins of the former east end remain outside the church. Much of the interior is in Norman style and this is considered to be the best example of 11th–12th century church architecture in Cheshire.[53] At the intersection of the former Roman roads is Chester Cross, to the north of which is the small church of St Peter's which is in use as an ecumenical centre.[54] Other churches are now redundant and have other uses; St Michael's in Bridge Street is a heritage centre,[55] St Mary-on-the-Hill is an educational centre,[56] and Holy Trinity now acts as the Guildhall.[57] Other notable buildings include the preserved shot tower, the highest structure in Chester.[58]
Roman remains can still be found in the city, particularly in the basements of some of the buildings and in the lower parts of the northern section of the city walls.[59] The most important Roman feature is the amphitheatre just outside the walls which is undergoing archaeological investigation.[60] Roman artifacts are on display in the Roman Gardens which run parallel to the city walls from Newgate to the River Dee, where there's also a reconstructed hypocaust system.[61] An original hypocaust system can be seen in the basement of the Spudulike restaurant on Bridge Street, which is open to the public.[62]
Of the medieval city the most important surviving structure is Chester Castle, particularly the Agricola Tower. Much of the rest of the castle has been replaced by the neoclassical county court and its entrance, the Propyleum.[63] To the south of the city runs the River Dee, with its 11th century weir. The river is crossed by the Old Dee Bridge, dating from the 13th century, the Grosvenor Bridge of 1832, and Queen's Park suspension bridge (for pedestrians).[64] To the southwest of the city the River Dee curves towards the north. The area between the river and the city walls here is known as the Roodee, and contains Chester Racecourse which holds a series of horse races and other events.[65] The Shropshire Union Canal runs to the north of the city and a branch leads from it to the River Dee.[66]
The major museum in Chester is the Grosvenor Museum which includes a collection of Roman tombstones and an art gallery. Associated with the museum is 20 Castle Street in which rooms are furnished in different historical styles.[67] The Dewa Roman Experience has hands-on exhibits and a reconstructed Roman street. And one of the blocks in the forecourt of the castle houses the Cheshire Military Museum.[68]
The major public park in Chester is Grosvenor Park.[69] On the south side of the River Dee, in Handbridge, is Edgar's Field, another public park,[70] which contains Minerva's Shrine, a Roman shrine to the goddess Minerva.[71] A war memorial to those who died in the world wars is in the town hall and it contains the names of all Chester servicemen who died in the First World War.[72]
Chester Visitor Centre, opposite the Roman Amphitheatre, issues a leaflet giving details of tourist attractions. Those not covered above include cruises on the River Dee and on the Shropshire Union Canal, and guided tours on an open-air bus.[73] The river cruises start from a riverside area known as the Groves, which contains seating and a bandstand.[74] A series of festivals is organised in the city, including mystery plays, a summer music festival and a literature festival.[75] Chester City Council has produced a series of leaflets for self-guided walks.[76] Tourist Information Centres are at the town hall and at Chester Visitor Centre.[77]
In 2007, Chester's cultural sector was going through a major transformation. The Gateway Theatre had closed as part of the Northgate Development and so too had the Odeon cinema, which opened on 3 October 1936. The site was earmarked for redevelopment, with the closed Odeon cinema being the subject of a proposal to re-open it as part of an arts complex with a cinema at its heart; or its owners, Brook Leisure, may pursue planning permission to turn it into a nightclub.[78] Numerous public houses and wine bars, some of which date from medieval times, populate the city. Chester also has some nightclubs, which are soon going to be added to by the development of two new clubs in the next eighteen months.
Chester has its own film society, a number of successful amateur dramatic societies and theatre schools for youngsters.
To the east side of the city are the UK's largest zoological gardens, Chester Zoo.
Chester City football club don't currently play in a league. They were elected to the Football League in 1931, and have played at their Deva Stadium, straddling the England–Wales border, since 1992. The team was relegated out of the Football League in 2009 and went into administration. Notable former players include Ian Rush (who also managed the club), Cyrille Regis, Arthur Albiston, Earl Barrett, Lee Dixon, Steve Harkness, Roberto Martínez and Stan Pearson.
The city also has a professional basketball team in the national league, the BBL Championship. BiG Storage Cheshire Jets play at the city's Northgate Arena leisure centre; and a wheelchair basketball team, Celtic Warriors, formerly known as the Chester Wheelchair Jets.[79]
Chester Rugby Club (union) plays in the English National League 3 North. It won the EDF Energy Intermediate Cup in the 2007-08 season and has also won the Cheshire Cup several times.
There is a successful hockey club, Chester HC, who play at the County Officers' Club on Plas Newton Lane, and also an American Football team, the Chester Romans, part of the British American Football League.
Chester Racecourse hosts several flat race meetings from the spring to the autumn. The races take place within view of the City walls and attract tens of thousands of visitors. The May meeting includes several nationally significant races such as the Chester Vase, which is recognised as a trial for the Epsom Derby.
The River Dee is home to rowing clubs, notably Grosvenor Rowing Club and Royal Chester Rowing Club, as well as two school clubs, The King's School Chester Rowing Club and Queen's Park High Rowing Club. The weir is used by a number of local canoe and kayak clubs. Each July the Chester Raft Race is held on the River Dee in aid of charity. Chester Golf Club can also be found near the banks of the Dee.
Chester has a brass band that was formed in 1853. It was known as the Blue Coat Band and today as The City of Chester Band.[80] It is a fourth section brass band with a training band. Its members wear a blue-jacketed uniform with an image of the Eastgate clock on the breast pocket of the blazer.
Chester Music Society was founded in 1948 as a small choral society. It now encompasses four sections: The Choir has 170 members drawn from Chester and the surrounding district; The Youth Choirs support three choirs: Youth Choir, Preludes, and the Alumni Choir; Celebrity Concerts promote a season of six high quality concerts each year; The Club is a long established section which aims to encourage young musicians and in many cases offers the first opportunity to perform in public.
Pop band Mansun are probably the most famous Britpop band to come from Chester.
Chester's newspapers are the daily Chester Evening Leader, and the weekly Chester Chronicle. It also has free publications, such as the newspapers Midweek Chronicle and Chester Standard and the free student magazine Wireless. Dee 106.3 is the city's radio station, with Heart Wrexham and BBC Radio Merseyside also broadcasting locally. Chester is where Channel 4's soap-opera Hollyoaks is set (although most filming takes place around Liverpool).
Chester [1] is a very pretty and historic English city on the river Dee in the North-Western county of Cheshire. Although maybe not worth a whole holiday, it's well worth a day trip to see the Roman ruins.This fine city is also the gateway to North Wales ,standing as it does directly on the border with the Principality. It is the nearest city of any size for a sizeble population in North Wales.
Chester originated in the Romano-British period at the latest, when it formed the settlement known as Deva or Castra Devana, the fortress city of the 20th Legion (Legio XX Valeria Victrix). As a result some parts of Chester are around two thousand years old. It was a Royalist stronghold during the English Civil War in the 1640s, and along the walls one can see the tower from which King Charles I watched his troops do battle.
A native of Chester is called a 'Cestrian'; though as is the case that Cockneys must be born within earshot of the Bow Bells to be classed a 'true' Cockney, to be strictly deemed a 'Cestrian' the person must have been born within the boundaries of the city's Roman walls. However, the last maternity ward within those defined limits was relocated to its current site a couple of miles outside the City Walls in the mid-1960's.
Chester is situated near the eastern end of the A55, which becomes the M53, which crosses the M56. London is approximately 170 miles by road, Birmingham approximately 90 miles, Manchester approximately 40 miles, Liverpool approximately 15 miles.
Most national coaches stop in Chester. Chester coach station in the city centre has now been closed. The coaches stop at a bus stop on Vicars Lane, opposite the Visitor Centre near the Roman Amphitheatre.
The city centre itself is relatively small with everything within walking distance. During the day, there are regular buses, or one can take a taxi.
Chester (or "Deva" in Latin) was one of the great military bases in Roman England, and as such, has its fair share of Roman ruins. Historians have even speculated that had the Roman departure not happened, Chester would have become the Roman Capital of England.
Chester has fantastic shopping for its size. All the major stores are based in one of the most attractive city centres in the country. Traditional black and white Tudor buildings and The Rows (an historic two-tiered shopping gallery, the only one of its kind in the world!) coupled with good shops and great places to eat, such as The Watergates Wine Bar, are sure to make this a pleasant shopping trip.
If that doesn't satisfy your consumerist needs, Cheshire Oaks is a designer outlet 10 miles away by bus or car.
Also Chester has a traditional indoor Market located behind the town hall.
Good choices for food are:
Chester has plenty of historic, old-fashioned English pubs, with beer at around £2.50-£3 a pint. However, most places will stop serving at around 11:30pm, and even a little earlier on Sundays. The only true exception being Watergates which trades until 2am on Friday's and Saturday's.
There are only a handful of night clubs and late bars to choose from. The latest any club will stay open in Chester is 3am.
There are many good hotels in and around the city. Contact the tourist office for details.
Most B&Bs are clustered to the East of the City in Hoole. This has its own centre, with good local pubs, some restaurants and shops. Its about a mile into the city centre and not a very attractive walk, but is convenient for the train station.
Chester is not an especially dangerous city, with no particular reputation for crime. The general rule is the nearer the racecourse (thus more expensive) the safer the area. However, the usual UK rules apply. Be aware that, between midnight and 3am or so, especially on Friday and Saturday nights, there will be plenty of drunken people about, so stick to well-lit areas and main roads. If you are one of these people and don't know the city well, consider taking a cab home. Some parts of the city, especially Blacon and The Lache should be strongly avoided if you don't know the area as they are considered unsafe.

As of November 2018, 267,831 Hawaii residents were enrolled in Medicare. That's nearly 19 percent of the state's total population, which is very similar to the percentage of the total United States population enrolled in Medicare.
Most people become eligible for Medicare when they turn 65, but Medicare coverage is also available to people who are disabled. Nationwide, 84 percent of Medicare beneficiaries are eligible due to being at least 65 years old, while the other 16 percent are eligible due to disability.
Hawaii has the smallest percentage of disabled Medicare beneficiaries in the country – just 9 percent of Medicare beneficiaries in Hawaii are eligible as a result of a disability (this is tied with the Virgin Islands), while the other 91 percent are eligible due to their age.
Medicare Advantage in Hawaii
In Hawaii in 2017, 45 percent of Medicare beneficiaries were enrolled in private Medicare Advantage plans — as opposed to 33 percent of Medicare beneficiaries nationwide. The remaining 55 percent of the state's Medicare beneficiaries had coverage under Original Medicare.
Hawaii has five counties, and the availability of Medicare Advantage plans varies by county. In Honolulu County in 2019, Medicare beneficiaries can select from among 19 different Medicare Advantage plans. But in tiny Kalawao County (which had just 88 residents as of 2017), there are only six Medicare Advantage plans available (it's noteworthy that in some low-population areas in other states — including the entire state of Alaska — there are no Medicare Advantage plans available at all, but plans are available throughout Hawaii).
As of 2019, there's a Medicare Advantage open enrollment period (January 1 to March 31) during which people who are already enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans can switch to a different Medicare Advantage plan or drop their Medicare Advantage plan and enroll in Original Medicare instead.
Medigap in Hawaii
Medigap plans are used to supplement Original Medicare, covering some or all of the out-of-pocket costs (for coinsurance and deductibles) that people would otherwise incur if they only had Original Medicare on its own.
As of 2019, there are 14 insurers offering Medigap plans in Hawaii.
Medigap plans are standardized under federal rules, although states can add their own regulations. Hawaii's Medigap regulations are available here.
The state also requires (see §16-12-6.2) all Medigap insurers to offer all plans on a guaranteed-issue basis (and without adjusting premiums based on medical underwriting) to any enrollee during the six-month window that begins when the person is enrolled in Medicare Part B. This applies regardless of age in Hawaii. Federal law grants a six-month guaranteed-issue open enrollment window, but only when people are enrolled in Part B and also age 65. So Hawaii's law extends the same protections to people who are under 65 and eligible for Medicare as a result of a disability. As noted above, however, Hawaii has the nation's lowest percentage of Medicare beneficiaries who are eligible due to a disability.
The majority of the states have adopted rules to ensure at least some access to Medigap plans for enrollees under the age of 65, but as is the case in most of them, Hawaii does not prohibit insurers from charging higher premiums for Medigap enrollees under age 65. Medical underwriting cannot be used for Medigap plans during the first six months that a person has Medicare Part B, but insurers can have higher standard rates for these enrollees.
Medicare Part D in Hawaii
Original Medicare does not cover outpatient prescription drugs. But Medicare beneficiaries can get prescription coverage via a Medicare Advantage plan, an employer-sponsored plan (offered by a current or former employer), or a stand-alone Part D plan.
For 2019 coverage, insurers are offering 24 stand-alone Part D plans in Hawaii, with premiums ranging from $14 to $80 per month.
As of November 2018, there were 71,138 Hawaii Medicare beneficiaries covered by stand-alone Part D prescription drug plans. Another 118,456 beneficiaries had Part D coverage integrated with their Medicare Advantage coverage (most Medicare Advantage plans include Part D coverage; stand-alone Part D plans are usually used to supplement Original Medicare, since it never includes prescription coverage).
Medicare spending in Hawaii
As of 2016, per-beneficiary Medicare spending in Hawaii was the lowest in the nation, at $6,441. Nationwide, the average was $9,533 (and on the high end, per-beneficiary spending exceeded $11,000 in Florida, Texas, and Louisiana). That's according to data that were standardized to account for regional differences in payment rates, but the data did not include costs under Medicare Advantage, and Hawaii has a larger-than-average share of its Medicare population enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans.

A renewed mind is a key to newness of life in Christ and in this world. Holding on to long-held traditions and experiences may help but may also serve as hindrances to achieving a transformation and new heights in life, and in Christ. Man does not need only food but a renewal of mind. The relevance of a renewed mind is here discussed.
A Renewed Mind
In the context of this thesis, the meaning of ´renew´ is to make new, to transform, to change from natural enmity to the love of God and his law; and to implant holy affections in the heart (Webster). In relation to this, Paul writes:
"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God" (Rom 12:2).
From the above scripture, believers are being advised not to fashion their lives according to the standards of this world but to be transformed by renewing their way of thinking. A converted soul could be transformed only when his/her mind has been renewed from the sins and errors committed in the past and receive the finished work of grace.
According to scriptures, when a person is in Christ, s/he has become a new person (2Co 5:17), so all his/her previous sins are forgiven (Jer 31:34). A man, therefore, does not need to condemn himself or herself and feel guilty of their past sins if s/he has truly repented. We have to renew our minds from hating ourselves to loving ourselves, from harming ourselves to accepting and appreciating ourselves in the face of the Gospel of Christ.
Our minds need to be renewed to receive the salvation which comes only by accepting the grace of God. A shift from the righteousness which comes by the Law to the righteousness which comes by freely receiving the grace of God (Rom 3:20-21, 28). We ought to renew our minds on our attitudes, values, and traditions because we could lose our salvation if we hold on to them tenaciously and reject the grace of Jesus Christ.
Jesus tells the Jews that they make the word of God void and ineffective with their traditions (Mat 15:3-6, Mar 7:13). They needed to have renewed their minds to receive Christ. The merit of renewing our minds is to help us prove that which is good, acceptable and perfect will of God (Rom 12:2). It is also required of us to renew our minds towards our neighbors.
Renewing minds towards others
We often look down or disregard people who do not look exactly like us. We normally embrace people of our race but not foreigners or immigrants in our countries. We draw closer to those with similar ethnic origin or tribe but withdraw from those with different ethnicity. We welcome those of our faith but not those of other faiths. We embrace those of our denominations but not those of others. We love those of our sexual orientation but not those of others. We remove ourselves from the poor and the disabled as they continue to suffer exclusion while some of us live in luxury and extravagance.
We must renew our minds and begin to see all people as having been created in the image and in the likeness of God. It must be remembered that after the fall of man, God continued to love them. Therefore, we have no reason to maltreat and dislike those who are different from us.
The Lord desires that we abide in His will as we renew our minds to receive His salvation which comes by faith through grace. We are not to be drawn back by the Law and the traditions of our fathers. Our minds need to be renewed to accept our beings and others because they were also created in the likeness of God.
Prayer: May the Lord God help us to renew our minds and begin to think and see He does. In the name of Christ Jesus our Lord. AMEN!

Want a Queensland jersey?
Earn it.
That was the blunt message from Maroons captain Cameron Smith after criticism an ageing Queensland missed a chance to blood youngsters in next week's State of Origin dead rubber in Sydney.
There were calls that the Maroons should have looked to the future and injected new faces into their 17 for July 13's Origin III after Queensland sealed their 10th series win in 11 years.
Instead Queensland made two injury enforced changes to their Origin III team, adding veteran forwards Nate Myles and Gavin Cooper.
It ensures the Maroons will boast nine players 30 years or older in their team - not exactly a glimpse into Queensland's future.
But Smith, 33, agreed with the changes, saying Queensland jerseys were earned - not simply given away.
He cited Cooper as an example after the 30 year old North Queensland backrower finally earned an Origin debut in his 11th NRL season.
Veteran prop Myles, 31, returns to the team after missing game two with a knee injury.
"Origin jerseys shouldn't just be handed out to anyone, not just given away," Smith said.
"Gavin Cooper has been playing some good footy for a long time now.
"He was a big reason why they won that premiership.
"He deserves his opportunity.
"I don't really believe in succession plans or thinking 'because we have wrapped up the series let's give a young bloke an opportunity.
"If he is forcing his way into the team that is when he is ready to be here."
Retiring Queensland lock Corey Parker agreed with his captain as he prepared to play his 19th and final Origin on Wednesday week.
Parker is another good example of earning your Origin spurs.
He played three games from 2004-05 then had to wait six years for his next Origin.
The 34-year-old is now an integral part of the Maroons pack.
"Why would we be blooding youngsters?" Parker told AAP.
"We got the job done in the first two games.
"Queensland picks a team to do a job.
"You don't pick teams to just blood them.
"You pick them because they are the best to do the job."

Twenty-five classic looks, from Michael Jackson's zombie attire to Britney Spears' school girl outfit
Twenty-five classic looks, from Michael Jackson's zombie attire to Britney Spears' school girl outfit
Not only the most famous music video ever made, this spellbinding cinematic vehicle showcases Michael Jackon's incomparable style at its peak. Even zombified, he exudes a deathly cool swagger in cropped pants, white socks, loafers and iconic custom miltary jacket, which went up for auction recently. Surprisingly, despite its immortal status nearly 30 years later, "Thriller" didn't win Video of the Year — that honor went to the Cars. However, it did pick up Best Choreography and the all-important Viewer's Choice Award.
By Colleen Nika
Madonna's performance of her seminal hit at the 1984 VMAs is one of the most iconic live moments in the awards show's history, and the perfect complement to its equally famous nuptially-themed video. Even though it didn't win any awards at the VMAs the following year (despite three nominations), the "Like A Virgin" video ensured that bridal style would never be the same. Britney Spears' and Christina Aguilera's reenactment of the look during their onstage tryst with Madge, nearly two decades later in 2003, only reinforces the clip's legendary style, and cultural status.
Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart's sharp-suited looks certainly encapsulate New Wave androgyny, but the style impact of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" isn't just about how eccentric British synthesists were dressing in '84, a particularly memorable VMA year. Here you enter a surreal fantasia, a kinky but stoic exploration of weird technology, power plays, boating, and, yes, that inscrutable cow — the best non sequitur of any 80s video (and there were many.) In a victory history would prove judicious, "Sweet Dreams" won Best Video By A New Artist that year.
This clip is sterling proof that style doesn't require an actual human presence — dizzying illustrations of a perfect man, like fashion drawings reified, will suit just fine. But what a male: a-Ha's resident Norwegian dreamboat Morten Harket held all the attributes of the exemplary 80s American-bred pop star: leather jacket, jeans, a wafting hairstyle just buoyant enough to keep Aquanet afloat. Yup, it's all here — and exquistely rendered by director Steve Barron in a pioneering "rotoscoping" technique. MTV awarded the achievement with six VMAs — Best New Artist in a Video, Best Concept Video, Most Experimental Video, Best Direction, Best Special Effects, and Viewer's Choice.
Most of Siouxsie and the Banshees' 80s material was too dark for the VMAs to digest, let alone nominate, even when blackhearted British pop could feasibly find daytime airplay love from MTV. But by 1989, the gothic rock pioneers were going through a decidedly palatable phase. "Peek-A-Boo," an oddball slice of pop featuring cheeky lyrics (sample: "Flaccid ego in your hand"), accordian, cowbell, and a taunting chorus based on a chilling 1938 jazz standard, became a career-expanding hit, creeping up to #1 on the Alternative chart. Best of all, its accompanying video ionized all the hallmarks of Siouxsie's trademark style into one neat horror-pop peepshow package. The payoff? A nomination for Best Post Modern Video alongside fellow shadow players The Cure and Love & Rockets.
The was the video that proved George Michael was big enough to afford Linda Evangelista (she of the famed $10,000 per day working rate), and confirmed that supermodels like Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks, Christy Turlington, and Cindy Crawford were commanding enough names (and faces) in 1990 to fully replace the iconic British singer in his own video. The attractive gimmick worked well enough to become a major radio and MTV hit, racking up five nominations at the 1991 VMAs. Though it didn't win those awards, it's an aesthetic high point in the pantheon of fashion and music marriages of convenience.
Even the Queen of Pop's naysayers have to concede this clip is the epitome of "glam." It was the official debut of Madonna's classic Gaultier cone-shaped bra, as well as a precursor to her "Blonde Ambition" tour look that manifested in a combustible dialogue about sex and pop and the 90s. Directed by David Fincher, and filmed in black-and-white, "Vogue" channeled the visual legacy of Art Deco artist Tamara de Lempicka, and paid style and cinematic homage to the song's lyrical heroes and heroines (Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe, Marlon Brando, Joe DiMaggio). The mass result? A new generation of MTV viewers discovered the merits of Betty Davis eyes. The Madge result? Nine VMA nominations, three of which she won.
Though her role two years later in Clueless made her a teen superstar, Alicia Silverstone's cameos in Aerosmith's "Cryin'" and "Crazy," alongside rock progeny Liv Tyler, made her Gen X's barely legal pin up of choice. Plus, her style choices for said videos laid the groundwork for the success of Britney Spears' beguiling "…Baby One More Time" with Millenials only five years later, proving that precocious girls + crop tops, schoolgirl kilts, and truancy = a failproof combination, illusory generational divides be damned.
Björk's first major solo hit, produced by Nellee Hooper, introduced her as a seminal new talent for avant-pop. Its Michel Gondry-directed video crystallzied the Icelandic genie's agenda with an immortal visual and obliterated expectations for what a promotional clip could be in 1993. "Human Behaviour" is a paper-mache fantasia presenting Björk in a demented version of Goldilocks and The Three Bears; her journey includes a jaunt to the moon and concludes, endearingly, in a bear's stomach. Throughout, she wears a silver lame dress, a look other singers, including Madonna, would soon be shadowing. The video received VMA nominations 1994 including Best Female Video and Breakthrough Video, but took home none. No matter: the birth of a new aesthetic icon ensured a lifetime of visionary videos ahead.
Continuously upping the game when you've already set so many cultural milestones in place can't be easy, but Michael Jackson was determined to go for broke with 1995's "Scream," his collaboration with sister Janet that, at $7 million, was the most expensive music video in history. Set in a dystopian future, the black and white Mark Romanek-directed clip features the power siblings on a spaceship, gesticulating aggressively in matching leather pants and ruffled tops. "Scream" also stylishly assembled a variety of pop references from across the bow, including anime, Akira, and Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollack works. The video received constant airplay on MTV and received 11 VMA nominations that year, winning three. The video remains one of the most memorable in pop history, lauded both for its obvious trendsetting production values and its mastery of themes of power and defiance. It's withstood the litmus tests of time: 16 years later, this is still The Video to Beat.
This is the video where Billy Corgan, D'Arcy Wretsky, and James Iha became immortal thanks to a grandiouse, time-warping trip 20,00 leagues under the sea (and to the moon and back). The Smashing Pumpkins were already the most popular rock band in America by 1995; this video, directed by medium-defining vanguards Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, confirmed the extent of their imaginative scope. Influenced by the 1902 silent film, A Trip To The Moon, "Tonight, Tonight" showcases the Pumpkins in ghoulish Victorian finery, cementing their most elegant and iconic visual in a catalogue defined by the precipice of glamor and grunge, amongst other juxtapositions. The video went on to win six VMAs in 1996, including Video of the Year, and still is regarded as one of the pivotal moments in music video history.
Iconic for its bracing connotations of hard living and harder partying, "Smack My Bitch Up" is Prodigy's ultimate post-rave anthem for the young, eager, and reckless. Suitably, its paralyzing video remains one of the most polemic video clips in history, and was banned from daytime airplay nearly universally. Jonas Åkerlund (also Madonna's late 90s videographic guru of choice) kept the narrative premise simple: track an anonymous hedonist's solo path of ecstasy, chaos, and destruction; insert wanton scenes of drug use, kinky sex, and nudity; shock with a big reveal (spoiler: the perp is a woman!) at the end. It's exhausting to behold, and a victory for any film. But it also manages to convey style on the street (and the vices that drove it) better than any fashion ad could. Despite its outlaw status (or, indeed, partially because of it?), the video fared at well at the 1998 VMAs, scoring Best Breakthrough Video and Best Dance victories.
Unnerving, modern and stunningly original,"Push It" represents the best tenets of the ambitious lates 90s video domain. Garbage paired up with Italian neo-surrealist cinematographer Andrea Giacobbe for the clip, reportedly spending half a million dollars and triggering a car accident in the four-day filming process. The cost in money and blood was worth it: "Push It" is still regarded as Garbage's crown video jewel, as well as the most confusing/inventive/perverse video of 1998. It could also be considered a living, moving fashion editorial for a progressive Euro rag, with Shirley Manson (and her lightbulb-head "husband") providing more attractive psychic intensity than any model could. Despite its whopping eight VMA nominations, "Push It" won nothing, but never fails to rattle, confound, and delight viewers to this day.
In 1998, Aaliyah was America's urban sweetheart, and this Timbaland-maestroed paean was her epitomizing moment in style and sound. Dressed casually in the type of relaxed but sexy athletic gear that cool women adored in the late 90s, she made baggy pants and crop tops look great, and radiated with confident ease. Her metallic makeup betrays its era, but as our collective eye readjusts to a 90s-friendly setting, that intense, mauve eye and lip will soon look au courant again. Nominated for two VMAs in 1999, the video's impact of multiple genres would be felt for years to come. Though Aaliyah would go on to make many visually striking videos before her devastating death in 2001, "Are You That Somebody?" holds the elements that define it as her greatest — the one that captivates us the most, even still.
When Lauryn Hill released "Doo Wop (That Thing)" in 1998, she eschewed the Y2K-obsessed posturing of hip-hop entirely, and made a killer female empowerment anthem that paid tribute to the soulful sounds of the 1960s. Somehow that retro maneuver felt progressive, especially when Hill premiered its now iconic video, a diptych presenting the singer (then pregnant) as both latter day street bohemian and retrofied Spector-esque fashion plate in a zebra-striped dress and bobbed hairdo. The song and video captured pop audience's imaginations the summer of 1998, scoring perputual airplay and #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. Animal prints soon crept from runways onto the backs of other singers. The next year, "Doo Wop" swooped up four VMAs, including the coveted Video of the Year prize.
Filer under: the quintessential teen pop video, regardless of era. Also: one of the most tantalizing song compositions to feature a piano riff, and certainly the only one with lyrics euphemizing puppy love as bondage — those innuendos purred out by a 16-year-old, no less. Most importantly: the serendipitous debut of Miss Britney Jean Spears, the doe-eyed Louisiana moppet who would reign the official teenage dream queen of Y2K pop only a year later. Even if she never released a second single, "…Baby One More Time" was a monster, a history-making hit on both radio and MTV. The song's video popularitywas buoyed significantly by the controversy sparked by Spears' choice of wardrobe: a tarted up school-girl uniform, later revealed to be purchased at K-Mart. The video earned three VMA nominations the following year, winning none. At later points in her career, she bravely pioneered other tricky costume ideas, giving snakes, red cat suits, and diamond-encrusted body stockings a go. But it will always be the school-girl uniform, and "…Baby," that defines the precocious promise of our early love affair with Gen Y's most fiercely adored icon.
Continuing the futurist visual plight of Michael and Janet's "Scream" video, TLC's "No Scrubs" was a Hype Williams-helmed tour de force. The year was 1999, and every act was doing their best to appear "modern," but no other mainstream group took it to TLC's level. Chili, T-Boz, and Left-Eye are decked out in resplendent wigs and their finest space-age apparel, remembling Japanese cyber-punk heroines as they traverse a severely white universe divided up into three thematic microcosms, all seemingly sponsored by Ikea in the year 2050. The clip won instant accolades for its clever execution, earning 6 VMA nominations in 1999, and winning Best Group Video.
For their Moulin Rouge! themed remake of LaBelle's classic "Lady Marmalade," Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, P!nk, and Mya had to play the cards they were dealt: when singing about the exploits of a heroic New Orleans tramp, you do as Mlle. Marmalade does — you gussy up in lingerie. They all managed to put their own unique twist on the negligee lace and garter belt prototype, with P!nk keeping her signature hair shade, Mya looking like a 20s era Pigalle coquette, Lil' Kim defying all conventional boudoir reference points, and Christina Aguilera concurrently trying them all on for size. This is the video some remember caustically as Xtina's "Dee Snider" moment, but even haters could not deny the enormity of the song, which landed majestically at #1 on charts on both sides of the Atlantic, where it remained for a generous part of the summer. In September, it won Video of the Year and Best Video from a Film at the VMAs.
Wherein a 32-year-old Gwen Stefani tries on dancehall, houndstooth, grafitti, fishnet, and pigtails for size — and pulls it off with charm. No Doubt quickly brushed off the dismaying chart performance of 2000's Return of Saturn by releasing Rock Steady, a hedonistic record fueled by their recent obsession with Jamaican party music, Prince, and U.K. electropop. To suit the sound overhaul, the band's image had to undergo its own makeover. The result was dizzying: customized band logos (influenced by the graffiti of Stephen Sprouse), houndstooth and argyle patterns (a nod to British mod and Two-tone prep), and a ton of red, yellow, and green (traditional Rasta hues) swiftly defined the look of No Doubt in their feel-good renaissance. All motifs are present and accounted for in "Hey Baby," the band's comeback single and video, which won two VMAs in 2002 for Best Pop and Best Group Video.
Among the fashion rules The White Stripes regularly disobeyed: dressing uniformly in red (regardless of season), the general laws of black hair dye, and that unspoken rubric about not dressing in the same outfit as your sister, er, wife. But with "Seven Nation Army," the blues rock duo proudly proved an old Wive's expression true: "red on black is a friend of Jack." The Alex and Martin-directed clip feature Jack and Meg situated inside an infinite tricolored, triangular kaleidoscope of surreal imagery. The 2003 single truly put The White Stripes on mainstream turf, earned them critical acclaim, and landed them four VMA nominations and one win (for Best Editing).
For Beyoncé's official coming out party, she pulled out the big guns, hiring Rich Harrison to produce, future husband (and now father-to-be) Jay-Z to rap, and Jake Nava to direct its vivacious video. Only 21 at the time, the singer celebrated her foray into adulthood and independence by channeling an icon – James Dean. "I wanted to be a female version of [him] and wear an iconic white T-shirt and jean shorts," she told W this year. Red pumps, now a part of pop visual history, were the perfect complementing piece – B jokes that dancing in them was the ultimate victory, though we suspect the outrageous success of her debut single – Number One just about everywhere, the most acclaimed single of the year, one of the decade's defining hits — felt pretty nice, too. VMA recognized Beyonce's sterling solo effort by awarding it three VMAS — Best Female Video, Best R&B Video, and Best Choreography.
This is certainly Outkast's most incandescent video statement — no small feat, as they've left many in their wake. André 3000 ostensibly funneled inspiration from a melange of sources — A Clockwork Orange, The Beatles on Ed Sullivan, St. Patrick's Day (hence all the vivid green). He plays eight versions of himself, all members of the fictional group "The Love Below." All are attired in Old Estate chic: argyle, pantaloons, white socks, pinstripes and plaid run rampant throughout. The video reputedly inspired André 3000 to start his own clothing line, Benjamin Brixby, a few years later. For 2004, a Video of the Year trophy, alongside 3 other VMAs and a Grammy months later, provided Outkast all the love they needed to imbibe.
For "Stronger's" robo warrior makeover, Kanye West donned a Rick Owens jacket and chromatic Balmain jeans, along with his new signature: shutter shades. A look few rappers would touch in 2007 has now become synomous with the club-hop scene, indicating just how potently West's stylistic tremors are felt, and echoed, by his peers. But as the rapper would agree, he's more or less unconquerable at his game. As a video statement, "Stronger" stands among the most audacious of the decade, its epic Hype Williams-honed art direction alone qualifying it as a classic. MTV were enthralled by the clip, though their "alternatively structured" award set-up that year precluded it from winning any VMAs.
Thanks to their infamous appearance in 2009's "Bad Romance" video, Alexander McQueen's legendary 12-inch "Armadillo" heels went from obscenely priced cult item amongst the high-fashion set to dictating a mainstream proclivity for anything claw-shaped. Lady Gaga has that effect on everyone and everything she pulls into her fray; if she loves your work, she'll wear it, and chances are, thousands more peoople will want to wear your work now, too. In 2009, Gaga was McQueen-crazy, brandishing his wares in public, but truly manifesting her fraternal love for the designer with "Bad Romance," an unofficial tribute to McQueen that featured most of his "Atlantis"-themed Spring 2010 looks. The song was the monster hit Gaga had hoped for and still serves as one of the best visual treatises on the now late-McQueen's deep musical impact. It won a slew of VMAs in 2010, including Video of the Year.
In which the usually happy-go-lucky Katy Perry subverts her status as pop's eccentric prom queen by going a little darker, more mature, and, we're not afraid to reaffirm it: alien. Whiffs of t.A.T.u. and a diet version of Nine Inch Nails lace the crawling, industrial-laced production, making its otherwordly success somewhat a surprise. But kudos to its video's fantastical sci-fi extravagance, which feels particularly imperious during an era of spartan promotional budgets. Directed by the avant-gardist Floria Sigismondi (known for Japonais-themed videos with Christina Aguilera, Girls Aloud, Marilyn Manson, and The White Stripes), it's an Avatar level spectacle, with the requisite cyberkinetic style attributes. Thanks to some excellent makeup by artist Kabuki, Perry resembles Na'Vi as Betty Page. Costume designer and stylist Carol Beadle was responsible for her meteoric ensembles, as well as Kanye West's, who guest appears in the video. MTV awarded the video heavy attention, nominating it for five VMAs, where it won Best Collaboration.

Letter: Civilian Police Academy an eye-opener
Editor, Advertiser:
I've just completed the New Canaan Police Department's Civilian Police Academy. We toured the building, saw the Dispatch Center, the holding cell in the basement, and the Special Response Team weapons. We learned about fingerprints and DNA, about traffic control, accident investigation, youth interaction, domestic violence, drugs and alcohol, DUI field sobriety tests, animal control, arrest warrants, probable cause, body cameras, tasers and weapons, and we participated in a simulated use of force exercise that was an eye opener.
We learned who does what, how he or she does it and why, and we had plenty of time for questions. We rode in a patrol car for several hours. We learned how carefully a police officer candidate is selected and then trained, and the training that each officer goes through each year.
For nine weeks, 14 of us met for two-and-a-half hours Tuesday nights at the Police Department. It was informative and fun. What came through to me is the pride that our police officers have in what they do. I am proud of them.
