Singer Claims to be Seduced by Charming Yet Sinister Victorian Ghost
ghost sex
If a single person wants to date a ghost, is there a dating site that can help? An OKPhantom? eHauntingme? Coffee Meets Boogel? A singer-songwriter in the UK didn't need to use a service – she claims her ghost, a Victorian soldier, came to her. Did HE use a dating service? eIncubus?
"I've always been fairly skeptical of the paranormal and things that can't be rationally explained. Over the years I've had a few ghostly encounters, but I had always brushed them aside and thought nothing more of them."
In an interview with LADbible, Brocarde – a one-name goth-singer-fashion-designer-personality from Oxfordshire – tells how she wasn't looking for a ghostly romance and would probably question the motives and the existence of a ghost attempting to pick her up (can you google a ghost?). But that was before one restless night when she was 'propositioned' by Eduardo.
"I was lying in bed unable to sleep... I rolled from side to side in bed, trying to switch off from both the storm and an argument I had had with one of my friends. Then out of nowhere I felt a warm sensation in my heart, it was burning hot. I touched my chest and it was roasting, clammy almost, and the warm sensation ran down throughout my body. Then the whole room fell cold. I sat bolt upright, had tears streaming down my face and was shaking almost uncontrollably. It felt like someone was present. I couldn't see anything so I reached for the bedside light and something grabbed at my hand to stop me."
That 'something' was Eduardo, a 35-year-old soldier who died after falling down a well. (Were there no collies to call for help in the Victorian age?) It didn't look like Eduardo had made a good first impression on Brocarde, but she claims he managed to save the 'date' by whispering "I love you" before disappearing.
"Days later I'll notice love hearts in the steam on the shower."
Eduardo has a romantic way of apologizing, but Brocarde answers the main question of why she stays with him.
"Our intimate moments are very empowering - he gives spine-tingling orgasms."
Of course. Eduardo also inspires her songwriting, but can be a bit paranoid and jealous – he fears her family will call an exorcist and he gets mad if she writes songs about mortal men … she finds pages crumpled up. Brocarde followed up her LADbible interview with another on the This Morning talk show, where she answered the same questions, but dealt with more skepticism. It's easy to assume Brocarde is merely using this to promote her music, fashion designs, podcast and more, but she could also be helping the many people today who are having problems dealing with their gender, relationships or attraction to non-conventional partners.
"I think people need to be open-minded, physical presence in the traditional sense isn't necessarily all it's cracked up to be. Many mortals are in relationships where they aren't actually present and many love those who they can't be with. It's a difficult thing to get your head around but perhaps some souls never truly pass, and maybe there are ghosts trapped in the afterlife who need love and affection just like living humans."
Sounds like Brocarde is trying to be friendly to ghosts in troubling relationships as well. What does Eduardo think of all this?
"My biggest fear is that he'll expect too much from me and kill me so I'm a spirit too."
And that is where Brocarde is no longer a role model for those in troubled relationships or having identity issues. Whether you believe she's in a tryst with a ghost or merely seeking attention, any talk of killing on popular talk shows in these strange times is even more troubling.
Maybe an exorcist isn't such a bad idea after all.

I vote this song into the 1960's!!!! I still get requests for this song – even today!!! It is ranked No. 142 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
This was sent to me by Dr Alan Sissons. Sorry there is no score.
"All I Have to Do Is Dream" is a popular song made famous by the Everly Brothers, written by the husband and wife songwriting team Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, and published in 1958. It was named one of the "500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll" by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and received the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 2004.
Please plan to attend this year! AND take part with the Prep Group. There is nothing MORE FUN than to grab your accordion friends – and play together.
I am writing these arrangements especially for the ATG (Accordion Teacher's Guild) in July 2016 in Chicago – where I will be conducting and teaching these arrangements! They are calling this the "Prep Group" – where they are encouraging the beginner to advanced intermediate accordionists with little or no experience playing with any kind of ensembles to have the opportunity to play with a group!!! AND this is for those of you that feel you are not GOOD ENOUGH to perform with the Festival Orchestra.
If it is RED – then the link is live to the parts. I will have the rest available within the next few weeks. Please select the HARDEST part you will have time to learn and PLEASE KEEP the same part for all the songs. If you play at the Palmer Hughes BK 4 or higher level – please select the parts with left hand (4th). I will only ask a few of you to actually play left hand! Surfin' USA is only a Trio – so those that selected 3rd parts – please take 1st on this one and those that selected 4th parts please take 3rd on this one.
AND if these parts still look too hard to you – I am working to create 1 part for each that is REAL EASY – with NO 8th notes! – SOOO – email me (slee@shelialee.com) and I will send you those special parts! slee@shelialee.com I want EVERYONE TO PARTICIPATE!
AND remember – this could be your first time ever playing with a group – I PROMISE to make it FUN and you WILL LEARN A LOT! So do your best to learn the notes and review the practice tips at each link – and I will pull the rest together!!
You will pay a $5 fee for this music (on the ATG Registration Form) – This $5 will be my only compensation. The ATG Board is afraid this is NEW and no one will participate. Let's please prove them wrong – sign up and download the music!!!
I will see you in Chicago!!
I posted this as a Trio last year – under a lesson and I think NO ONE KNOWS it was there!!! SO here it is on it's own page and I turned it into a Quartet. AND I wrote the SAME bass line on all the parts. You can decide which section is to play the basses (only one section needed) AND SEEING the basses – really does help with the counting even if you do not play the basses!!
ALSO – this July 2016 – In Chicago – at the ATG CONVENTION – I will be conducting a PREP GROUP. This is designed for those accordionists that don't feel they can play good enough to be in the Convention Orchestra or have no experience with group playing.
We will be doing some FUN SONGS – and this is the first of them!!!
So here are some practice hints for the player and the conductor.
DO NOT PLAY LEGATO – even on the opening runs – play them "full value" but release after each note and between measures – even practice as a group STOPPING AT EACH MEASURE!!
Section #19 – Mearue #19 & #20 – 1st – WATCH OUT – You will hit SQUARE on the 3rd count! AND all parts are back to NO LEGATO!
Section #27 – 1st & 3rds can play Legato (after they have HEARD it done detached – so they stay together) 2nds can smush it all they want!!! You can even encourage them to FAKE some rhythmic patterns on their chords!!
Section #35 (CODA) – can be legato again for 1st & 3rds. EXCEPT – the Last 2 measures – every part NEED TO DETACH – almost ACCENT EACH NOTE!
Maske in Blau (Mask in Blue) is a grand operetta in two parts (six scenes) with music by Fred Raymond to a libretto by Heinz Hentschke and Günther Schwenn. The work had its premiere under Werner Schmidt-Boelke on 27 September 1937 at the Metropol Theaterin Berlin. It was revived on 20 March 1955 at the Théâtre Municipal, Strasbourg under the title Le masque bleu.
Every year – I have attended the National Accordion Convention in the Dallas area. It is attended by about 200 accordion enthusiasts. There are workshops, 3 different level accordion orchestras to play with and evening concerts.
In 2016 – I will be conducting a Workshop – about THIS ACCORDION BLOG and Distance Learning via Skype and FaceTime LIVE lessons.
See the links below for the Orchestra arrangements!

No one predicted in 2007 how the iPhone would transform both society and the workplace, sparking an age of mobility that changed the way we talk, share and connect. Yet here we are in 2018, with apps creating billion dollar businesses and millions of people paying $1000 a pop for the iPhone X.
We sit at the precipice of a new era of disruption in the workplace. Pundits and technologists have talked about the future of work for years, and 2018 may be the year that future finally arrives. The next massive transformation, however, will not rely on a single tool or device.
Before diving into the future of work in 2018, we need to acknowledge that the nature of work has changed. It is no longer a destination but rather a unit of productivity shipped to people, teams and companies. It's not constructed in a cubicle or silo but through impromptu brainstorms, huddles and workflows. And as much as technology facilitates this new kind of work, it remains anchored in the employee experience. It's the employee after all who determines which products and tools survive, morph and evolve.
As 2018 gets underway, organizations must figure out how to create, adapt and preserve company culture in the workplace while evaluating the impact of new technologies. Those are tall challenges for any size organization, but they are absolutely essential for future innovation and company survival moving forward.
In this context, I reached out to a number of colleagues and influencers who are focused on collaboration in the workplace and posed a simple, yet broad question to see how they envision the enterprise shaping up: How will technology impact the future of work in 2018 and beyond?
Not surprisingly, I received a variety of answers, but a few common themes emerged.
"The future of work will be a place with three key characteristics. First, administrative tasks will take a back-seat, and machines will take a primary role in accomplishing mundane and time-consuming tasks. Second, the employee's role will transition from being the producer to the curator and overseer, placing larger emphasis on creative and outside-the-box thinking. Finally, machines will replace some mundane roles, but will not ultimately seek to replace humans — instead, machines will augment users with an AI-exoskeleton, increasing human productivity exponentially," said Wiener.
McCleary offered this vision, "In the short-term future of work discussion, we are coming to terms with the end of the world as we know it. The battle cry is 'Let it go!' Release any attachment to what was in order to reinvent and innovate, and ditch being left behind dragging the millstone of legacy systems and processes around your corporate neck.
"We are called to cultivate and nurture our relevance by embracing a life of never-ending learning. Our cubicles have been disrupted by co-working spaces, and our coveted titles replaced by flat lining organizational charts. Human creativity is the commodity for sale on the street. The gig economy is exploding along with remote workers replacing onsite workers, and previous water cooler conversations replaced by digital dishes shared over social media.
Another major theme that emerged was how technology could be used as the mechanism to unite and collaborate in new, humanizing ways.
Quindazzi said, "While tomorrow is uncertain, certainly the future will be different. New products and business models will develop at increasingly faster speeds. More intuitive and predictive digital clouds will not only match workers with employers, skills with demand, capital with innovators, consumer with suppliers but will also further augment human productivity.
"Smaller organizations comprised of key individuals leverage technology, rather than human effort and physical assets to generate value. Specialization, leadership, creativity, problem solving are the most valued skills in the workforce."
Peterson spoke to the flexibility and accessibility the cloud is providing businesses, as well as the challenges: "Ever visit one of the Walt Disney Theme Parks and head through the 'It's a Small World' attraction? Well the cloud has made the world a smaller and more productive place for workers around the world. In fact, the workforce is only becoming more diverse and spread out. Companies have to account for employees on the move, those who work remotely, and those who work at home in multiple countries around the globe. Most of these employees and companies already embrace the cloud computing environment without realizing they're even accessing cloud applications.
With 2018 upon us, I believe this will be the year we will redefine how teams are conceived and bring out the best of human and machine capabilities to further innovation. AI has come a long way. It can now be directed and applied to rid hurdles to collaboration and productivity. This will enable truly efficient communication to take place and ideas to transform into reality. Alexa, Siri and other yet-to-be released assistants will simply become part of the team, helping to accomplish previously impossible goals in record time.


Some Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) administer a Homeownership Voucher program. Through these programs, families can use Housing Choice (Section 8) vouchers toward mortgage payments on a home. The home being purchased must meet the same standards as a home being rented under the Housing Choice (Section 8) Voucher program as well as pass an independent home inspection to be covered.
To apply and move, a family must uphold the guidelines of a current lease agreement and give their landlord proper notice before moving. This means you are not allowed to break a lease before its end date in order to move into a newly purchased home.
In addition to meeting eligibility requirements of the Housing Choice (Section 8) program, Homeownership Voucher program applicants must meet additional eligibility requirements before being enrolled. Families must be first time homebuyers and attend homeownership counseling. Topics include: money management and budgeting, home maintenance, financial literacy, credit, how to find a home and more. The program is tailored to meet each families needs.
In addition, to be eligible, the potential homeowner's yearly income must be equal to or greater than 2,000 times the federal minimum hourly wage ($14,500 as of 2015) and be employed full time. Local PHAs have the authority to increase this income limit and implement additional legibility requirements for the Homeownership Voucher program in their area.
The family purchasing a new home is responsible for securing the home loan. Your PHA may be able to refer you to a partner lender. They may also establish certain guidelines regarding lending, including screening potential lenders, prohibiting certain types of loans, setting minimum down payment standards, etc. If a PHA determines a family cannot afford the debt associated with the purchase of a new home or refinancing of a current home within the program, they can reject the proposed financing.
The Homeownership Voucher program includes an assistance time limit of 15 years for homes with a mortgage of 20 years or more. In all other instances, a 10-year time limit is implemented. These limits do not apply to families whose head of household is elderly or disabled. The amount of voucher assistance available through the Homeownership Voucher program is equal to that given through Housing Choice (Section 8) Voucher program as — the payment standard (based on average market rents/mortgage payments of similar homes) minus 30% of the household's income.

Foefie sliding essentially involves a means of elevated motion by gravity whilst attached via a harness and pulley to a steel cable. Whilst studying the ecology of the Costa Rican rainforests scientists enlisted the help of engineers to access and move around in the forest canopy – and thus zip-lining came into being. Over the years zip-lining was refined and evolved into a popular eco-tourism adventure activity. For the first time tourists were introduced to the wonders and intricacies of rainforest canopy life and through these experiences gained a deeper insight into the parlous state of indigenous forests.
Canopy Tours® South Africa introduced foefie sliding as a commercial venture to Africa in 2001. After scouring the country for suitably large indigenous trees, the Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour® was established in the Tsitsikamma Forest near the village of Storms River on the beautiful Garden Route.
The majestic Outeniqua Yellowwoods (Podocarpus Falcatus), prized by loggers in years gone by, provided the essential framework around which engineers could design the many platforms and cables required for the canopy tour. After satisfying strict environmental impact study and safety requirements, the Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour® was given the green light by the relevant government agencies. Subsequently sites have been developed across the region, the latest opening in Swaziland in 2010.
Stormsriver Adventures, based in Storms River Village, operates the Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour®, a fantastic eco-wilderness adventure in the forest canopy. The tour circuit consists of 10 slides in mostly ancient (700 years +) Yellowwood trees just a short drive from the village. Adrenalin seekers traverse 10 foefie slides (zip-lines) between these platforms some 30 meters above the forest floor. Safety is paramount and a lead and follow guide accompany all groups on the tour. Besides getting closely acquainted with the forest and its ecology, visitors enjoy the opportunity of seeing a variety of amazing bird species, including the Knysna Loerie and Narina Trogon. After an exhilarating 2-3 hours participants return to the village base for some refreshments and a viewing of their tour experience on video.
Visit their site for full details & to book.
Stormsriver Adventures run various other operations including the Woodcutters Journey. This fascinating tour down the old Storms River Pass is a much more leisurely and sedate experience than the Canopy Tour®, but is nevertheless both interesting and educational.
Learn about the havoc wreaked on this Afromontane forest in earlier centuries and get the lowdown on the local fauna and flora. These 21/2 to 3 hour trips include either refreshments in the form of tea or a light lunch amongst the trees at a picnic spot.
Visit their site for further details & to book.
Stormsriver Adventures also offer guided hikes, team building exercises and school programmes. A strong ethos of environmental responsibility, fair trade and community upliftment is central to all their operations.
For a fascinating insight into one of the last remnants of our once great coastal forests, Bamboo guests should definitely head for the tiny village of Storms River.


Roche's big-selling biologic Avastin has been approved in the European Union for the treatment of platinum-resistant, recurrent ovarian cancer, which affects 10,000 women a year.
It's a major new indication for the cancer drug and its Swiss manufacturer was keen to point out it makes Avastin the first new treatment option for women in Europe in more than 15 years for this difficult-to-treat form of the disease.
The European Commission says Avastin (bevacizumab) - global sales of which grew 8 per cent in 2013 to $6.7bn - can be used in combination with paclitaxel, topotecan or pegylated liposomal doxorubicin chemotherapy.
Approval was based on the phase III AURELIA study which found that when Avastin was added to chemotherapy it nearly doubled median progression free survival (PFS) from 3.4 months to 6.7 months compared with chemotherapy alone.
Median overall survival (OS) was 16.6 months versus 13.3 months and patients who received the combination had a higher rate of tumour shrinkage (28.2 per cent versus 12.5 per cent).
Ovarian has the highest mortality rate of all gynaecological cancers, with many of the 44,000 women diagnosed each year in the EU having the advanced disease that will return after initial treatment.
The cancer is deemed platinum-resistant if the condition worsens between one and six months following completion of platinum-based chemotherapy - and this affects a quarter of the women who relapse after initial treatment.
The drug will be available to women who have had no more than two chemotherapy regimens beforehand and who have not received prior therapy with Avastin or other VEGF inhibitors or VEGF receptor–targeted agents.
Avastin is already approved in the EU for the recurrent, platinum-sensitive form of the disease - that is, when the disease gets worse more than six months after treatment, and was first given the green light in Europe for ovarian cancer in 2012.

Thread: Keane
Dutch Baka
FIGHTING FOR JPOP
Keane are an English alternative rock band from Battle, East Sussex, and was founded in 1997. They first started with covering songs from The Beatles, U2, and Oasis. The first Keane songs were composed by Rice-Oxley and Scott, and were played in pubs around London since July 13, 1998 at the "Hope & Anchor" in London. In February 2000 they released their first single, "Call Me What You Like", of which 500 copies were produced and sold at the pubs where they played, and another single, "Wolf At The Door", followed a year later.
The have made 2 Study albums; Hopes and Fears(2004) and Under the Iron Sea(2006), and they have made 1 Live album; Live recordings 2004 (2005)
They haven't got a number 1 hit yet, the closest to that was the number 3 with the songs: Somewhere Only We Know and This Is The Last Time
I think they are a great band, who are enjoyable to listen too, and hope they will keep playing for a while!

The Clackamas County commissioners delayed appointing a the tie-breaking fifth member of the Clackamas River Water board Thursday, while acknowledging they will probably end up doing so soon.
Commissioner Paul Savas said the commissioners are waiting because two water board members submitted "conditional resignations" late Wednesday. The resignation letters say that board member Barbarba Kemper and board president Kami Kehoe will resign if the whole board resigns.
Board member Patricia Holloway said Thursday after the county commission meeting that she will not resign.
The Clackamas County commissioners indicated at a work session Tuesday that they were willing to appoint Larry Sowa, former county commissioner, to the Clackamas River Water board because the board has been unable to do so themselves.
When Mike Cardwell resigned in July, he left a 2-2 deadlock on the board. The water board was unable to agree to appoint Sowa at its Sept. 13 meeting, even though he is the only applicant.
The county sent a letter to General Manager Lee Moore and the water district board on Tuesday, saying they planning to appoint Sowa.
"It is our hope that Mr. Sowa will help break the deadlock, and that the District Board will begin to move again to move forward in a collaborative manner," County Administrator Steve Wheeler said in the letter.
Commissioner Paul Savas confirmed that was still the plan, as of Wednesday afternoon.
However, he said that they are waiting now because of the conditional resignations offered by Kemper and Kehoe.
"I'm relunctantly going along with this, but I do think there is a solution going forward," Savas said at the Thursday meeting.
"I feel it's inevitable we will be making this appointment in the near future."
Both the county commissioners and the water board members say they want a solution that will help the water district stay insured. Last week the Special Districts Association of Oregon announced it would not renew the district's liability and property insurance when the district's police expires at the end of the year.
County staff is working with water district staff to find insurance, or win back insurance from the Special Districts Association.
In Kehoe's conditional resignation letter, she said replacing the entire board seems the only viable solution to infighting and dysfunction on the water board.
"It is my hope and expectation that this move will enable the district to negotiate successfully for insurance coverage that will protect all parties, including our employees and newly appointed Board of Commissioners; attract new leadership; return employee morale; improve the image of the district; encourage other government entities to collaborate and work with the agency; and keep the district functioning in the best interests of our customers and ratepayers," said her letter.
Meanwhile, Kehoe's position on the board is in question, because she moved outside the district while serving on the board. However, the water district has not declared her unable to serve on the board.
County attorney Stephen Madkour said the county commission has the power to appoint board members one at a time. Commissioner Jim Bernard, who is jointly spearheading the issue with Savas, said he asked Sowa to wait for the appointment a little longer.
"Hopefully, we'll get this back on the agenda soon."


I love to read and have a rule that whenever someone recommends a book, I buy it ASAP. Lately I've also been getting books I see referenced in other books. There's a ton of research and anecdotal evidence which correlates reading to success and I'm pretty convinced that there's causality, not just correlation working there. As such, here are some recommendations for things to read to contribute to your success.
Tools of Titans is one of the most interesting and diverse sets of interviews, pull quotes, and anecdotes I've ever read. Does anyone else feel like Tim Ferriss is the next Shep Gordon? Read this book if you're an interesting person, or want to be an interesting person, or want to find other great stuff to read.
Extreme Ownership is referenced in Tools of Titans since Jocko Willink (one of the authors) was interviewed by Tim Ferriss. Read this book if you lead people, want to lead people, or to find out how to become a better team member. Each chapter starts with a (literal) war story from Iraq, but if you're not into military stuff you can actually skip to the Practice and Application to Business sections which follow.
Rands in Repose is tied with Seth's Blog for my favorite blog. Michael Lopp is a brilliant manager with enviable writing skills. Read this blog if you manage technical people or you are a technical person. His book Managing Humans is also excellent, but the blog is not to be missed.
Safari Books Online is my secret weapon. Yes, it's $399 per year and that's not cheap but combined with their Queue app it's a bargain if you're a technical person who likes to learn. In the last year I've read through dozens of O'Reilly books and watched a couple of their training videos. The books alone would have cost me triple or more. If you are a developer and like to learn from books, this one is a no brainer. If I were running a company with employees, buying the team version would probably be on my list for recruiting top talent.
Okay, one more just for fun: Living with a SEAL is one of my favorite books to give to people. My friend read the entire thing on a red eye from Seattle to Miami one night after I convinced him to "give it 4 pages and see what you think".


"A Collegiate Game of Base-Ball"
Illustrated by Willard Poinsette Snyder, better known as W.P. Snyder, the image has been reproduced numerous times. But while the picture is a favorite of many baseball fans and historians (including myself), it has apparently never been researched to any extent.
It should be noted that "amateur" did not mean that the players in the league weren't talented athletes. Many were college athletes who could not accept remuneration lest they lose their amateur status. For example, the Orange Athletic Club featured a Yale pitcher named Amos Alonzo Stagg. Yes, the very same Amos Alonzo Stagg whose versatile and stellar career as both an athlete and a coach led him to enshrinement in the College Football Hall of Fame (both as a player and a coach) and the Basketball Hall of Fame. By the way, he also coached baseball at the University of Chicago for 19 years.
is having a great battle for the championship, and the last game of the season will probably be played before a decision is reached. The two Staten Island clubs are having a contest for supremacy which is close and exciting, and as yet the winner is doubtful. That amateurs can play base-ball well was clearly shown when the two clubs met in a well-played game a short time ago. The day was clear and cool, and each man of the opposing nines was fit to do battle for his life. The grand stand was well crowded with people, and the cool bright dresses of the pretty girls, mingled with the light costumes of the cricket and tennis players, who had stopped their own play to watch the game, and here and there a bright blazer, and again dresses of a more sombre hue, all added to the beauty of the scene. Friends greeted friends as rivals on the ball field, and the merits of the players were discussed by both young men and maidens in a knowing way. For three hours the two nines struggled for supremacy, and when dark came neither side had been able to secure a run. The players fought well, and although neither team gained a victory, all had the satisfaction of knowing that they had taken in part in one of the best games of base-ball on record, amateur or professional.
This is the only paragraph in the article in which a particular game is discussed, and with Sawyer's detailed descriptions of "the pretty girls," the "blazers" and "dresses," and the "beauty of the scene," it seems safe to assume that Snyder's woodcut was intended to depict this all-Staten Island contest. As such, it becomes clear that the word "Collegiate" in the title of the illustration was not meant to suggest that the scene portrayed a college baseball game, but rather a "collegial" match between amateur clubs. This particular baseball game between "the two Staten Island clubs" took place on July 20, 1889, with the Staten Island Cricket Club (SICC) hosting the Staten Island Athletic Club (SIAC).
The most noteworthy event in the amateur arena up to August 1 was the remarkable game played at West New Brighton, Staten Island, on July 20, between the nines of the Staten Island Athletic Club and the Staten Island Cricket Club. The former had held a winning lead from the beginning of the season in the Amateur League pennant race, and they were regarded as sure victors on this occasion. To the delight of the Cricketers, however, after a battle lasting fifteen innings, the game had to be called on account of darkness, and during the contest not a run was scored on either side. We append the full score of this remarkable game, as it ranks among the best ever played by amateur nines, if not the best on record.
The 15-inning contest lasted just under three hours and both starting pitchers went the distance. Interestingly, both of these pitchers were Harvard men. James Alexander Tyng pitched for the SICC. A dozen years earlier, as a member of the Harvard nine, Tyng made his mark on the game by becoming the first player to wear a catcher's mask. After making the switch to pitching, Tyng ultimately played a handful of games for the Boston and Philadelphia National League clubs. Pitching for SIAC club that day, Harry Wakefield Bates also twirled for Harvard, graduating in 1892.
Additionally, Henry Warner Slocum Jr., a Yale alum who played shortstop for the SICC, was a stellar tennis player, winning back-to-back titles at the U.S. National Men's Singles Championships in 1888 and 1889. He is enshrined in the International Tennis Hall of Fame at Newport, Rhode Island.
The All-Staten Island game took place at the grounds of the SICC, located between Bard and Davis Avenues, Delafield Place and Livingston Court in northeast Staten Island. The location is now called Walker Park and still serves as the home grounds of the club. This park should not be confused with the more familiar St. George Grounds on Staten Island where the American Association New York Metropolitans played their home games in 1886 and 1887.
As there are limited contemporary descriptions of the SICC grounds, it is difficult to determine how accurate Snyder's representation of the July 20, 1889, scene might be. However, while it is known that the SICC grounds featured a grandstand, it seems unlikely that it was as substantial as that seen in the illustration.
In fact, the grandstand pictured has more in common with one located over 3,400 miles east of Staten Island ... at Lord's Cricket Ground in London! That is because Snyder's illustration is clearly a "baseballized" version of the painting I saw back in 2010. It hangs in the Writing Room at the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Lord's.
Painted by artists Sir Robert Ponsonby Staples and George Hamilton Barrable in 1887 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the MCC, the approximately 5½ foot by 10 foot picture is known by several names. According to the MCC Museum, it is titled "Imaginary Cricket Match: England v. Australia." But most contemporary sources referred to it as "An Ideal Cricket Match." No matter the name, the painting depicts a fictional match between elevens from England and Australia, along with numerous spectators of note.
The Englishmen are in. W. G. Grace and W.W. Read are at the wickets, and the former has hit one of Spofforth's to the off. The ball having been saved at the boundary by Garrett, cover point, the batsmen are evidently in doubt about the practicability of a third run. The field has been carefully placed for the purposes of the picture by Spofforth himself, and while he has chosen the Australian team in conjunction with Scott and others, the English Eleven has been selected on the advice of Lord Harris, Messrs. V. E. Walker, L. D. Walker and other competent English judges. Half life sized portraits of the two elevens are introduced at the base of the picture in the pridella [sic], a method adopted by the early Italian Masters. The idea of the picture is due to Sir Coutts Lindsay, Bart., who proposes to hold a series of exhibitions in the chief capitals of Australia and New Zealand, for which purpose the ideal match has been painted. The artists, in a comprehensive view of Lord's—giving full prominence, of course, to the pavilion—have introduced among the numerous spectators H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, with most of the principal representatives of the colonies in England, as well as a number of the chief notabilities of the cricket world, including the Earl of Bessborough, Sir Ponsonby Fane, treasurer of the Marylebone Club, Mr. V. E. Walker and others. The animation of the scene is increased by the charming toilettes of the ladies, among whom will be easily recognised some of our most popular English beauties. The picture is a graphic representation of our national game.
The Prince and Princess of Wales (later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra) can be seen standing on the field at far right, the Princess carrying a white parasol. W.G. Grace, arguably the greatest cricketer of all time, is the bearded batsman at the wicket, looking on as his ball heads to cover point and is about to be fielded by Australia's T.W. Garrett. All told, well over five dozen individuals, both on the field and in the stands, are identifiable. A key to the painting is in the collection at the MCC Museum.
Just when and how Snyder came to see the painting is a mystery. As noted in the story above, it originally toured Australia and New Zealand. Its whereabouts afterwards are a bit cloudy, but it was not until 1927 that the painting came to reside at the MCC. However, as a photogravure of the painting was produced by the international art dealer Goupil & Cie as early as March of 1887 (perhaps earlier), it seems likely that it was this version (titled simply "Australia v. England) that acted as the model for Snyder's work.
Clearly there are major differences between the Staples-Barrable painting and Snyder's illustration. Most significantly, Snyder has replaced the cricket pitch with a baseball diamond, he has eliminated Lord's original pavilion (the large brick building seen at right), and he has removed the various buildings and stands in the background. However, the crowd in the foreground still contains many of the same individuals as seen in the cricket painting.
For example, in the original painting the woman at left who holds a note in her hand is Constance Gwladys Robinson, also known as Lady de Grey, close friend of the celebrated Australian opera singer Nellie Melba and the famous Irish writer Oscar Wilde. She is essentially identical to the woman in the Harper's Weekly woodcut, though Snyder has added a pen to her hand, suggesting that perhaps she was keeping score.
Of the dozen or so individuals who appear in both pictures, my favorite is the especially conspicuous woman wearing a yellow dress and red bonnet. Note that her attentions are far from the field of play, as she is practically facing the opposite direction.
This woman is none other than Lillie Langtry, the celebrated beauty who went on to a successful career in the theater. She also happened to have had a three-year affair with Prince Albert ... the very top-hatted prince seen above and to the right of her in the Staples-Barrable painting. Perhaps she is deliberately looking away from him. Understandable, and yet it's too bad, because in either picture, she's missing a heck of a ball game.
Ok, this was awesome to read through. One of your best researched pictures. Great work!

Looking back through my collection of blogging ideas, I noted an article from The Guardian that was published almost a year ago. It was about an advert from a Kuwaiti telecoms company that advocated "bombing violence with mercy". I'm a touch cautious about posting things like this – who knows when the next story of someone bombing with violence will burst across the news. I fear that, if I looked across a wider range of sources, I'd see it wasn't that long ago it last happened.
Potentially controversial but also poignant and thought-provoking. Have a read of the article and perhaps watch the video. And ponder on mercy – Sunday, above all, should be a day to remember mercy.

Smart DNS Technology: Everything You Need to Know
Published by Christopher Benitez at August 3, 2017
If you are a dedicated online media consumer, then you'd know that many sites block content based on factors such as your geographical location. For example, you won't be able to access all of BBC iPlayer content from the U.S.
If you have a U.S. Netflix account and travel to China, you will find that not all your favorite shows are accessible in China like in the U.S. Domestic censorship and convoluted international copyright laws restrict free access to media content for netizens across borders.
Smart DNS technology allows web users to access blocked content regardless of your location in the world. If you want full access to your American Netflix account while traveling the world, you can use Smart DNS to bypass geographic filters. Smart DNS works with some video and music streaming websites, as well as other sites like news websites that governments may block. If you are completely new to the term "smart DNS," read ahead to find out what this technology is and what it can do for you:
What is a Smart DNS technology?
DNS means Domain Name System. Domain name is the unique name of a website that people can understand. You may already know that websites have IP (Internet Protocol) addresses that consist of a string of numbers. Computers can understand IP addresses, while people find it easier to memorize domain names. The DNS is what translates the human-friendly domain names into IP addresses that servers and computers can understand. IP addresses allow computers on a network, like the internet, to identify the location of the machine. It is an important part of how the internet works.
It is the DNS that allows a server of a website to pinpoint exactly where your machine is, and thus activate geo blockers. Smart DNS is an intelligent technology that reroutes traffic generating from your computer so the receiving end cannot know where you are. This enabled you to bypass geo blocks, and access desired websites from anywhere in the world. You can use a Smart DNS to bypass geo blocks on sites like Netflix, Hulu, BeInSports, Amazon Video, Pandora, and BBC iPlayer.
How Does Smart DNS Technology Work?
The exact mechanism of how Smart DNS technology works is rather technical and complicated. However, we can explain it in simpler terms, which is what we are doing with this article.
Let's start with an example. Say you are in Australia. You want to access BBC iPlayer but users cannot access most content outside Britain. When you use a Smart DNS, you can trick the BBC iPlayer into believing that you are actually in the U.K. and not Australia, which will give you access to all freely available content.
The Smart DNS achieves this by changing the DNS of the computer or the device you are using and rerouting the traffic through a dedicated server located in the country of the website. In the example given above, the Smart DNS would reroute your BBC iPlayer access request through a dedicated server in the U.K., not in Australia as a server normally would do. It tells the website you are trying to access that you are a British netizen, so the geo blocks are naturally lifted.
Using a Smart DNS is a simple way to trick a site into believing that you are in a non-restricted country. You don't need to have the technical knowledge to use a Smart DNS in this manner. You can also use a Smart DNS with a variety of devices, like smartphones, tablets, and gaming consoles, to bypass country restrictions.
What is the Difference between a Smart DNS and a VPN?
You may have heard of another popular method to beat geo blockers: VPNs. Virtual Private Networks and Smart DNS technology differ in several significant ways. While both offer a quick pass over country restrictions, VPNs also offer privacy. VPNs are designed to hide your identity while browsing the web/ Also, they provide more security from elements, like government agencies, that may try to track your online activity. VPNs commonly encrypt data that is passed over connections. This makes VPNs a bit slower than Smart DNS connections.
Smart DNS tech does not offer the privacy and encryption that a VPN package might. Because of this exact reason, Smart DNS connections are faster. If you are just looking for a way to bypass a geographical restriction, and are not seeking extra security, then a Smart DNS connection would be your best choice. VPN packages can be expensive because of numerous security tools that come with them. Smart DNS packages offer only one service and are therefore cheaper than most VPN packages. Also, some VPNs require considerable software configurations. You don't need to spend hours tinkering with Smart DNS software. But do decide on exactly what you need before buying either of these packages. If you require more privacy, then VPN would be the best choice. If not, then try Smart DNS.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Using a Smart DNS
The main advantage of using a Smart DNS is that you can easily unblock censored sites due to geographical location. If your country bans a site, you can use Smart DNS to pretend to be from another country. This, therefore, allow you to access the restricted content.
Smart DNS accounts are also simple enough to install on computers or devices. You just need to plug in and play. So, if you are a rather technologically averse person who doesn't like tinkering with software, then a smart DNS account would be hugely beneficial.
Smart DNS accounts are also highly versatile. They work with computers, smartphones, gaming consoles, tablets, smart TVs, and just about any other internet-connected device you can use to play music and videos.
Also, Smart DNS connections do not hurt your overall internet speed like VPNs sometimes tend to do. Smart DNS proxies only reroute a segment of the traffic generated by your device to bypass country filters. VPNs, on the other hand, need to reroute all traffic, leading to possible connection speed issues and delays. VPNs, in this regard, are overkill for just unblocking websites. A Smart DNS can do a much less costly and more efficient job.
As Smart DNS reroute traffic from a dedicated server, you won't have to connect to a different server located in another country to get access, as it would be the case with a VPN. So there's less waiting time or server related problems that will affect your access to the internet.
While Smart DNS tech offers many benefits, there are some drawbacks as well. One main problem with this tech is that it may not work with all websites. Some ISPs run websites with a tool called "Transparent DNS Proxy." This proxy can detect rerouted traffic, and will force your machine to use a DNS service the site provides, and not the DNS that was automatically chosen by the Smart DNS tool.
Smart DNS accounts also do not offer blanket access to all websites from a region, as with some VPN packages. Smart DNS unblocks websites individually, not in a group. This allows for quick access, but you may lose access to a handful of websites. But don't worry too much because Smart DNS works with the most popular sites in any given region. If the tool doesn't work with a particular website, you can request access by contacting the provider of your Smart DNS package.
Where Can I Get Smart DNS?
Smart DNS services are provided by specialist companies (usually VPN providers) to bypass geo filters. You can get Smart DNS in a VPN combo package if you like. Most exclusive Smart DNS packages come with a variety of features to support some devices. Some providers offer Smart DNS for free. It's highly recommended to use a paid service with a reputable provider for the best measure, however.
When purchasing a Smart DNS service, always make sure the provider is reputable. You can read online reviews to be sure. The provider should ideally offer a free trial to check out the product. Before buying, find out which regions the Smart DNS has proven to bypass. Learn about the number of unlocked websites as well. An excellent Smart DNS package will come with software and apps that make the tech easy to use on most devices.
Legality of Smart DNS Technology
Smart DNS tech is completely legal to use. However, some websites or ISPs will explicitly restrict smart DNS access. Do keep in mind that using an intelligent DNS does not make otherwise illegal acts legal online. Take advantage of this tech to access geographically restricted content, and nothing more. If you do that, you won't run into any legal issues.

Make emails personal as you can. As with many other types of marketing, customers will be more likely to purchase items from you if you add a personal touch. For example, if you are aware of the reasons that they had for signing up for your emails, mention that in your communications with them.
Do not ever send emails encouraging people to 'buy now'. They are aware that you want to increase sales, so offer them a professional, valuable relationship.They will appreciate your efforts and may even purchase something from you.
It is very smart to include an opt-in button for people that are interested in receiving emails from you to double opt-in. This may seem like a lot, but it completely ensures that the consumer wants to receive your emails, and that eliminates the possibilities of you being called a spammer.
Only use an opt-in list when sending email marketing to your customers. If you do not, you will risk losing trust of the customers and who they interact with, creating a bad name for your business. There is also the chance that particular Internet service providers will block you, which could seriously damage your business.
Do not ever send emails to your customers more than a single email message a week. Your readers most likely are busy and probably have to go through a lot of messages daily. Sending emails a week can eventually result in people deleting what you send without even taking a proper look and ignoring your hard created content.
For that reason, you should take the time to design a template that allows you to incorporate your company logo, and consistent formatting throughout all your marketing materials. This will instantly recognize your company.

Party Pooper
by Nicole Arthur March 29th, 1996 August 29th, 2020
It's My Party is that seeming oxymoron, a feel-good movie about death.
In writer-director Randal Kleiser's film, an AIDS patient faced with encroaching dementia decides to take his own life. But not before he stages his own farewell bash, surrounding himself with family and friends for one last blowout. It's a maudlin premise, but his guests prove a remarkably good-humored bunch. They eat. They drink. They sing the title's Leslie Gore song with the inevitable lyric change, "…and I'll die if I want to."
It's My Party opens one year before the celebration. Nick (Eric Roberts), an architect, and Brandon (Gregory Harrison), a director, live together in the Hollywood hills. Their moneyed haven seems invulnerable. Nick gives Brandon a pair of horses for his birthday, which the couple ride along the scenic bluffs behind their sprawling house. They have a pool out back. They have a fireplace in the bathroom. All is good. Until the discovery that Nick is HIV positive initiates the dissolution of their life together. Brandon withdraws almost immediately, eventually taking up with his young production assistant and kicking Nick out of the house.
The pair don't speak again until Nicks invites Brandon to his send-off. Though Nick is the nominal center of attention, Party is also concerned with Brandon's emotional enlightenment. He must make his way through a modified Ebeneezer Scrooge scenario, granted one last chance to learn compassion before Nick's demise. Not to worry: The film is the kind from which no character is likely to emerge without learning a valuable lesson.
Party is peopled with such an improbable conglomeration of has-beens that one expects to see John Waters listed as casting director. Sally Kellerman, Olivia Newton-John, Roddy McDowall, Bronson Pinchot, George Segal, and Greg Louganis are among the actors who portray Nick's extended family. It's hard to maintain the proper level of seriousness, when Nick's house looks more and more like the Hollywood Squares green room with each new arrival.
In keeping with the Tinseltown truism that there's no such thing as a gay man who isn't colorful and amusing, Nick's homosexual friends are a flamboyant bunch. Pinchot's Monty Tipton is the most grating of the lot, spouting one-liners like, "Avocado's a fruit…and so am I," with every breath. Nick's family and straight friends are on hand as well, and everyone mingles so effortlessly that the gathering begins to resemble a fantasy sequence. Nick's guests may be uncomfortable with death, but they're not uncomfortable with homosexuality. Indeed, his circle of friends seems impossibly broad-minded: Nick, for instance, is honorary uncle to his friends' gay son, who matter-of-factly asks Nick's ex things like, "Uncle Brandon, why'd you and Nick break up?"
At times, Party adopts the pedantic tone of an educational filmstrip. Lest the audience miss the point, Nick has a large cross on his wall surrounded with snapshots of his friends who've died from AIDS. Yet the film largely sidesteps the horror of the disease. Nick is relatively fortunate: He exits looking his best and wisecracking to the end.
It's difficult to believe that anyone could really kick up their heels at an event like the one depicted in the film. The audience is likely to side with the guest who asks, "How come everybody's acting so normal?" Nobody raises any serious objection to Nick's offing himself. McDowall's Damian Knowles is the one character who questions Nick's decision, but his half-hearted argument plays like a scripter's afterthought. And even if a house full of people did accept the imminent suicide of their host with equanimity, the repeated playings of "I Will Always Love You" would almost certainly send at least one of them screaming from the house.
Central to Party is the sentimental notion that terminal illness confers wisdom. Since Nick's imminent demise grants him a sort of moral authority, he doles out lifetime advice to everyone in attendance. In fact, he becomes a sort of reverse genie, with everyone he talks to forced to grant him a wish. In addition to offering up wise words on everything from safe sex to self-actualization, Nick asks his mother to stop smoking and gives his best friend hairstyle tips. "Get those bangs out of your eyes, you have a beautiful face," he urges.
Party attempts to sustain its fevered emotional pitch far too long. Much of the film is spent waiting for a graceful fade-out that seems ever imminent but never materializes. It hardly seems fair to put viewers in the position of thinking, "OK, OK, get on with it." But the filmmakers are determined to spare the audience nothing. A must-see for anyone who's ever wondered what it would be like if the leave-taking scene from The Wizard of Oz were drawn out for the length of an entire film.CP

In February, 2009, the State Library of Ohio, in partnership with the Ohio Historical Society, was awarded an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Connecting to Collections Planning Grant. Entitled "Ohio Heritage Partnership: A Statewide Initiative," this ongoing project addresses the lack of care and preservation of Ohio's cultural heritage which has reached a crisis point and must be addressed if our heritage is to be preserved.
In response to the HHI, IMLS launched a call to action entitled "Connecting to Collections." One component was the initiation of planning grants. Each state was eligible to receive one of the $40,000 awards. Grants allow for collaborative planning partnerships among libraries, museums, archives and other statewide organizations to address the HHI recommendations. Ohio submitted an application in October 2008, receiving the award notification in February 2009. The needs assessment survey was sent to all Ohio cultural heritage organizations in early January 2010. Ohio developed a directory of contact and institutional information, conducted a needs assessment of Ohio cultural heritage institutions and hosted a summit entitled "The State of the Historical Record in Ohio" in summer 2010. All of these activities culminated in the writing of an Ohio Cultural Strategic Plan.
