Edwina's Children

For @edwinaweek I thought I'd share my headcanon for Edwina and Matthew Bagwell's children as part of my Bridgerton: The Next Generation series.

Jeremy Bagwell is born the day before his cousin Edmund's first birthday, and throughout their childhood the Bridgerton and Bagwell families would celebrate the birthdays together at Aubrey Hall, which was always an anticipated highlight of Jeremy's year. He was a very easy baby and rather quiet much to his parents curious disbelief, especially in comparison to the energetic chaos his cousins wreaked on a daily basis. But as he grew, it became apparent that Jeremy was simply a boy of a quieter nature, who was more than content with his own company and much preferred the peace and tranquility of his parents' library than the rough and tumble of the great outdoors. His favourite pastime was being read to by his parents, an activity which he didn't want to limit to just bedtime alone and he would eagerly run up to either parent throughout the day with books in hand requesting to be read to. When he was old enough to read himself he permanently had his head buried in a book, and he could often be found alongside his father in the library as they separately studied their favoured texts. Much like is father, Jeremy would go on to be a scholar, but instead of philosophy, Jeremy opted to become a professor of his lifelong passion; history. So engrossed was he with his educational role, he never showed much interest in settling down or even courting any of the eligible young ladies of the Ton. He never much cared for balls and parties, with the only social events he ever made an effort to attend being those hosted by his Aunt Kate. While he tended to stick close to his relatives, at one particular ball he slipped away to the library of Bridgerton House in search of a textbook he hadn't reread in several years; only to find the season's diamond tucked away reading the exact book he was after. Miss Theodosia Barrington was a reluctant diamond and had been shocked to named as the season's incomparable, especially when she hadn't wanted to take her bow in society in the first place. Much to his surprise Jeremy felt an instant bond with her, and then to his even greater surprise by the end of the season he had married a diamond of the first water, just like his father had before him.

Three years after their first, Edwina and Matthew welcomed baby number two, Francis, into the world. From very early on Francis was an incredibly smiley baby who adored every show of affection he was spoiled with. While his brother was happy to be independent and do his own thing, Francis loved being surrounded by others and would trail after his Mama, Papa, his brother Jem, the household staff, and any guests that came to visit. Someone he adored in particular was his dear Grandmama Mary, who he always ecstatically greeted with a great big hug and whose lap was his most favourite seat. In turn (as much as she claimed not to have favourites among her grandchildren), Mary couldn't help but possess a special fondness for Francis, not just in the way he loved her abundantly, but how his smile and shining eyes were the most reminiscent of her late husband out of her four grandsons. Francis thoroughly enjoyed his stays at Aubrey Hall throughout the years and loved running after his older cousins Edmund and Miles, as well as his cousins' cousins too, happily integrating himself among them as they played games together and hurtled around from one end of the estate to the other. His outgoing and personable nature carried on into adulthood, making plenty of friends along the way during his years abroad, as well as befriending perfect strangers in any ballroom and assembly room he stepped foot into. As delightfully affable and pleasing as Francis was, there were two weaknesses he possessed; pretty girls and suggestibility. With the former he often tended to fall hard and fast for ladies with winsome smiles and sweet temperaments, and had ended up suffering from a string of heartbreaks as a result. The latter was arguably the bigger flaw for him because as confident a young man as he was, he still relied on the approval of those in his life who he looked up to the most and would end up swaying to agree with whatever his role models advised of him in spite of his own thoughts and feelings on the respective matter at hand.

After another three year gap, the Bagwells welcomed their little girl, Maryam, born a month after her Cousin Charlotte. Edwina and Kate loved having daughters so close in age and much to Mary's amusement, Maryam was practically identical to Edwina as Charlotte was to Kate, and watching her granddaughters play and spend time together was just like watching Kate and Edwina twenty odd years before them. Maryam loved her big brothers and copied them both despite their contrasting natures; she'd lark and dance about with Francis as often as she would take a seat next to Jeremy and read a book alongside him (which she adorably did even before she had learnt how to read). She also loved to copy her Mama and enjoyed playing dress up in her mother's gowns and having her Mama style her hair to match hers. From a young age she adored bedtime stories of handsome princes and falling in love after a single dance, and naturally Edwina couldn't help bracing herself for the day her daughter wanted to make her debut into society and all the hopeless romantic antics it may bring - however Edwina was surprised when Maryam came to her about her debut and made the odd request to spend as little money on her gowns as possible. When Edwina asked why, Maryam expressed her worry of impressing the Queen too much and potentially ending up as diamond of the season just like her, not wanting to suffer the same pressures as Edwina had during her season. Sympathetic to her woes, Edwina assured her daughter that regardless if she was the diamond or not, she shouldn't feel burdened by any pressures of securing a prosperous match for the sake of bettering their family; all she wanted for her daughter was to find a love match and secure her happiness. With the reassurance that she would only be expected to marry for love, Maryam enjoyed her debut season alongside her Cousin Charlotte. Sure, not all the suitors she danced with or who called upon her impressed her much, but she was in no real rush to find her perfect match just yet - that is, until she attended David Basset's wedding and was introduced to the bride's brother, Mr. Benedict Woodson.

[vertigoambrosia]

me: zack sabre jr will always be best boy

zack: i’m the best fucking boy germany has ever seen, dickheads

me:...zack sabre jr will always be best boy irl

anyway here’s shotgun

omg we’re getting another rise meeting? or is it just the same one we saw from frankfurt?

ok uhh first andy and then francis? i guess dragan’s trials don’t have any particular order...

i still love the joke at the london show about bobby not knowing you can’t smoke inside there

‘i take care of’ bobby you have never taken care of someoen in your live

‘walter white wannabe’ christopher daniels looks nothing like him though????

ehhh i’m not a fan of the superstars matches being title matches cause you know christopher daniels isn’t winning the belt

also tbh that was a pretty toothless promo from bobby, i feel like

not taht it was bad, but lacking the true obnoxiousness he usually brings

i guess it must be hard when you’re promoing for someone who just isn’t gonna be around to react

idk how to feel about shirtless emil in jeans

francis ilu but get out of the psychology armchair

sebastian don’t encourage him

wxw if i wanted stories about fighting self doubt and learned helplessness i’d fucking start a journal

...what if monster consulting try and help :D

i mean, really the other issue is that dragan being weird and funny and a wee bit hapless is fun and entertaining, much moreso than this storyline, even though i’m sure this is a way to give him some depth

haha that shrug after the rollup was super cute tho

‘the double [axehandle] is just for showoffs, of course’ alan is great sometimes

guys pls ask dragan why he cut his andy warhol mullet

don’t actually do this

ok beffore the FIGHT ME when francis grabbed dragan’s head, from the shot whne they’re behind dragan i thought for a sec francis kissed him

yaaaaay

HAHAHAHAHA FRANCIS DIDN’T REALIZE HE LOST

i hope dragan can hit that bridging pin more cleanly next time cause i like it a lot

also it’s very smart for him to pick up a counter to sleeper holds

hahahahaha i love kelly screaming from like, across the room

LMAO marius you can’t just shove shit in people’s mouths

also bb...the fan...no

marius is...a better promo in german

LMAO ANDY

what a garbage can

i’d be real excited about that tag match if wxw actually did intergender

‘god chose me’ ‘well i don’t know if i chose you but..’ fucking shoot me i’m dying from laughter

andy literally thinks he is god

hahaha melanie’s face as andy lists all his achievements

and narcicissm

*melanie voice* i’ve made a huge mistake

ilja: *has no chill* walter: *sigh*

ilja: don’t pull that ref bump shit with me ever again

ilja: also, fuck me up

honestly i’m probablt just gonna tune out during the mixed tag match cause i think they’re dumb if there’s no intergender

it’s literally just two singles matches constantly interrupting each other

also: superstars was definitely more hyped last year (even though i def don’t remember a lot of the card)

well the main was super plot important since rise appeared and a4 lost the titles to the lions (who were just debuting)

or wait....i think the main was the 4 way between emil, angelico, penta and i think rey fenix

really the lucha underground crossover made things more interesting

also bobby vs drago, where bobby talked some weird great shit (he def called drago a furry at some point)

even jaxon stone vs buff bagwell had a silly heel promo from jaxon (and the match was short enough to be fun)

quick return to the match: i continue to like how mella and kelly continue to just fucking slug each other

give me a backstage brawl

give them a street fight

lmao @ melanie screaming; she was face for a while befor ei started watching so i didn’t fully realize how fun she is as a heel

anyway

as for superstars title matches, it’s not necessarily like we thought riddle would win against jurn, but riddle’s rep , even just from his carat performance, gave the matchup the sort of “but how will jurn overcome him????” vibe

and of course, the shotgun title actually did change hands

but like, bobby vs daniels doesn’t have that narrative tension; idk if daniels wrestled in wxw back in the day (probably), but it’s kinda like....ok? perhaps if i were more of an roh fan i’d feel like it was a big match, but he just doesn’t come off as fearsome enough to be particularly interesting

i’m a little surprised that aj isn’t getting his title shot at superstars though - it seems a bit early to pit ilja and walter against each other again

like, they’ve literally been fighting against each other every two weeks since ilja returned

we’ve got the carat 3 way

the london 4 way

true colors

Houston Astros want a commencing pitcher, Dodgers may well never ever drop again - SweetSpot

Houston Astros want a commencing pitcher, Dodgers may well never ever drop again - SweetSpot

Sunday was really a working day: There was Adrian Beltre‘s three,000th strike Corridor of Fame induction ceremonies in Cooperstown for Jeff Bagwell, Tim Raines and Ivan Rodriguez (as well as John Schuerholz and Bud Selig) trades and trade rumors and a complete slate of games, including a single doubleheader.

On the heels of Monday’s trade deadline, nonetheless, my big takeaway from the day’s action is this: Do the Houston Astros want a commencing pitcher?

All-Star Lance McCullers Jr. had his fourth straight very poor start out in a 13-one loss to the Tigers, lasting five-as well as innings and allowing 8 hits, 4 walks, two wild pitches, two strike batters and five runs. It was hideous. Seriously, he was blessed to have presented up only the five runs with that numerous baserunners crowding the bases. He has a nine.64 Era in these 4 July begins, including 32 hits and 11 walks in eighteen&frac23 innings pitched. His strikeout amount of 29.one % entering the thirty day period has plummeted to fifteen % and batters have hammered him for a .386 ordinary.

This is what the Astros have to determine amongst now and four p.m. ET on Monday: Is this just a very little slump for McCullers, a little something he’ll take care of above the upcoming two months? Is it a basic non permanent loss of fastball command? Or is it a indication of a young pitcher hitting the wall at a hundred innings following throwing just 81 last year? To make that conclusion even additional problematic, employees ace Dallas Keuchel just returned from a prolonged DL stint and pitched 3 shaky innings in his first start out again.

Even with Mike Fiers pitching so properly following a shaky start out — he has a 2.seventy four Era above his previous 13 begins — basic manager Jeff Luhnow has to be involved about his rotation considering the fact that he does not know for absolutely sure what to be expecting from his one-2 punch the rest of the time and in the postseason. The starters had a three.forty nine Era in April and May possibly, but that is jumped to four.seventy five in June and July.

I imagine anxiety of the unknown suggests Luhnow would make a deal for a starter. He does not have to play in the Sonny Gray recreation considering the fact that the A’s are probably to desire outfield prospect Kyle Tucker, but he could for a rental like Yu Darvish or Lance Lynn to give a potent different for Oct. Moreover Tucker, the Astros had 3 other potential customers in Keith Law’s midseason best 50, as well as you will find hard-throwing Francis Martes, now in the majors, but a best-40 prospect entering the time. You will find plenty of talent for the Astros to make a trade and continue to keep the talent pipeline flowing. What deal will Luhnow make?

Kyle Farmer will often keep in mind his first at-bat. This is the form of time the Dodgers are getting. They trail the Giants one- in the base of the ninth. They tie it up, with help from Chase Utley‘s stolen base. The Giants just take the guide in the 11th. Up ways pinch-hitter Farmer for his major league debut with runners on first and second and a single out in the base of the 11th and he lines a double off the chalk in suitable area for the wander-off strike.

When the rookie results in being the HERO. 👌

Welcome to the 2017 #Dodgers, @kFarm17! #WALKOFF | #LetsGoDodgers pic.twitter.com/Mc4UQs1c6B

— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) July 31, 2017

Farmer received a curtain get in touch with as the Dodgers, who are a brain-blowing 39-6 in their previous forty five games, celebrated their eighth acquire in a row as they improved to seventy four-31. This epic operate has them on rate for 114 wins, which would shatter the Nationwide League history in the 162-recreation era. No subject who manager Dave Roberts inserts in the lineup, a little something exclusive happens.

Farmer is a excellent story, a senior drafted out of Ga in 2013 who turns 27 in a pair of weeks. At Double-A Tulsa and then Triple-A Oklahoma Metropolis, he played catcher and 3rd base (and even begun two games at shortstop), hitting .326 with nine residence runs amongst the two stops. He’s the form of organizational depth that successful groups have sitting down down in the minors, and he supplied Dodger supporters with another memorable moment in this time of magic.

Essentially, perhaps they never want to incorporate everyone tomorrow

Adrian Beltre results in being 31st participant with three,000 occupation hits. Receiving to three,000 hits is a testomony to greatness, excellent wellbeing and a ton of line drives. I wrote before that Beltre did it his own way, and absolutely has made baseball enjoyment all through his occupation.

This is the strike, Beltre swinging on a three- pitch from Wade Miley:

And this is former teammate Michael Young, now in the Rangers’ front office, seemingly predicting Beltre will play ten additional many years:

Congrats, AB… Are unable to wait to be in the crowd for your 1st ballot induction to the HOF in about fifteen many years.

Your pitcher of the thirty day period is James Paxton. The Mariners are hanging on the fringes of the AL wild-card race of late generally thanks to Massive Maple, their Canadian lefty who is quietly getting a dominant time. The Mariners rank 23rd in the majors in runs for every recreation in July, but with 6 shutout innings on Sunday in a nine-one victory above the Mets, Paxton concluded July 6- with a one.37 Era, the first pitcher to go 6- in a thirty day period with a sub-one.50 Era considering the fact that the late Jose Fernandez last May possibly and the first to do it in July considering the fact that Steve Carlton in 1972. That was the time the Corridor of Fame lefty went 27-ten on a Phillies crew that concluded fifty nine-97.

Paxton is now 11-three with a 2.sixty eight Era, including a hundred twenty five strikeouts in 107&frac13 innings and just five residence runs authorized. If he hadn’t skipped virtually a thirty day period with a forearm pressure, he may well be suitable guiding Chris Sale in the Cy Young race. He even has that sub-three.00 Era even with submitting a seven.20 Era in June. Paxton has seven begins with zero runs authorized, tied with Alex Wooden and Ervin Santana for most in the majors.

The Mariners have essential Paxton to do this, not just due to the fact of all the injuries to the rotation, but due to the fact the big 3 of Robinson Cano, Nelson Cruz and Kyle Seager have not been as excellent as in 2016. Cano, in particular, has really struggled of late and is hitting just .211 in July. He’s on rate for fifty seven extra-base hits following drilling seventy four last time. Seager’s OPS is down 80 points even as offense has increased across the league. Cruz does guide the American League in RBIs, even though his slugging proportion is down fifty nine points.

Last year, these 3 accounted for eighteen.nine WAR by way of Baseball-Reference.com. This time, entering Sunday they had merged for five.6 WAR by a hundred and five games — a rate of 8.6 above 162 games. That the Mariners are .500 with the injuries and decline from these 3 is actually a testomony to the further roster basic manager Jerry Dipoto has designed. It also suggests the Mariners’ very best odds of achieving that wild-card recreation is just not creating a trade on Monday, but Cano, Cruz and Seager actively playing superior the remaining two months — specifically thinking of their brutal August plan that features a brutal 12-recreation highway trip to Tampa, Atlanta, New York and Baltimore.

So Steve Pearce did this and it was brilliant. Two wander-off grand slams in a single week? Are you kidding?

if you dig it, do it. If you dig it a ton, do it 2 times. #Walkoff 🇨🇦 pic.twitter.com/P9wnN5Eeok

— Blue Jays (@BlueJays) July 31, 2017

Pearce joins Jim Presley of the 1986 Mariners and Cy Williams of the 1926 Phillies as the only gamers with two wander-off slams in a time. Baseball is brilliant.

What’s in a Name?

My father was born Vito Anthony Orlandella, and he didn’t much care for his name. “Vito” was all right, and in fact, he named his principal business The Vito Fruit Company. No real problem with the benign Anthony, it was the last name he saw as problematic. His one foray into show business as a record producer was done under the name “Tony Vito”. I’m not certain, but I believe he thought that Orlandella was too long and clumsy for a billboard. He had another name ready but never got the chance to use it. A clever anagram made by dropping the first two and the last letters of his name. Thus was born “Vic Landell”. When it came time to name my ballplayer-turned-detective, the choice was an easy one. Call it a homage to my father.

Genesis

If you reside in Florida near the Ocean, you qualify as a resident of a “Coast.” If you live between Palm Beach and Miami, you are on the Gold Coast. Between Port St. Lucie and the Indian River? That would be the Treasure Coast. While the area around Cape Canaveral is, no surprise, the Space Coast. Over here on the Gulf of Mexico, we limit ourselves to just one. The stretch that runs from above Tarpon Springs all the way down to Naples is known as the Sun Coast. Now in the dead of a Florida winter, which means that the temperature has plummeted to a mere eighty degrees, I am constantly reminded of Sarah Miles’ languid portrayal of “Alice” in the film “White Mischief” and her line for the ages, “Oh, God, not another fucking beautiful day.”

As my Lotus Elise SC makes the left off Bee Ridge and merges into traffic on Interstate 75 Northbound, I am about an hour away from my destination. Here is your chance to “vet” me. I was born Victor Anthony Landell, on August 22, 1979, at the Massachusetts General Hospital. From day one, everybody called me “Vic.” My father Peter, “Pete,” was a Captain of Detectives for the Boston Police Department, and recently retired to Falmouth on Cape Cod. My mother Katherine, better known as “Kate,” was Chief Nurse at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute right up until the day a cerebral hemorrhage took her life four years ago. Her death devastated my father. My older brother by eighteen months, Thomas, or “Tommie”, is a Commander in the Navy and living out my dream, flying fighter jets off a Nimitz-class carrier.

My IQ score says I should have been a great student, but my interest level begged to differ. I was more concerned with the Red Sox and girls, though not in that order. If you look across the Charles River from Storrow Drive you can see Harvard and M.I.T. “So near and yet so far.” Let’s just say I wasn’t ticketed for either, more likely some State college or, with luck, UMass.

I didn’t get to UMass, and for one good reason, my left arm. I played baseball in high school gifted with a decent fastball and not much else. During my junior year, a coach took me aside and said, “You have the longest fingers I have ever seen. Why aren’t you throwing curve balls?” Good question. So I worked and worked to develop what ballplayers call “the deuce.” Lo and behold, by senior year my curve and I were unhittable.

Then the phone started to ring, and suddenly, college coaches who a year before wouldn’t have given me the time of day were begging me to play for them. Being a Catholic, wanting my parents to see me play, and have the chance for a quality education, I chose Boston College.

The Society of Jesus expected me to do more than just pitch. Things like go to class, study, pass, and oh yeah, graduate – concepts that USC and Texas didn’t bother to mention. A major in history was coupled with a minor in philosophy. Philosophy? Once the Jesuits have you, they never let you go. Of course, neither discipline would get me a job since philosophers are always the last ones hired. Meanwhile, my hurling was coming along nicely, and after four years, I graduated – with honors.

Now, Boston College is no one’s idea of a baseball or for that matter a football factory. If you want a centerman or a lawyer, you look here. If you want a shortstop you look elsewhere. Most scouts couldn’t find Chestnut Hill with both hands and a map. Wonder of wonders, midway through my senior year, I was being scouted by the Pittsburgh Pirates. Miracle of miracles, they drafted me. OK, so it was in the 30th round, but I was in no position to quibble. My philosophy career would have to be postponed. Game called on account of the National Pastime.

Continuing up I-75, a town appears on our left. Not just any town, it is Bradenton aka Sarasota’s ugly stepsister. Bradenton has precisely two claims to fame. It is the home of Tropicana Orange Juice, and for six weeks every winter, the home of the Pirates. This is where it all began for me, February 2000, spring training with Pittsburgh. I arrived on the afternoon of the 15th – bringing with me a glove and a dream. When a Major League team drafts you in the 30th round, your signing bonus will just about pay for a baloney and cheese sandwich. I couldn’t care less. I was a Professional Baseball player.

In all, three summers would pass toiling in the Pirates minor league system. I started playing “A” ball in Lynchburg, Virginia; the year after “AA” in Altoona, Pennsylvania; and finally, “AAA” in Nashville. While down on the farm, I played with guys on the way up, some others on the way down, and a few on the way out – has-beens and never-wases, prospects and suspects. The Pirates told me I was a prospect. So I rode the buses, slept in team motels, ate a lot of fast food, and waited. In the spring of 2003, my time finally arrived.

With Bradenton in the rearview mirror, we now transition to the I-275. The high-strung Elise is loafing along in 6th gear at 80 mph and goading me on as the road bends right. Coming into view is our local “Jewel in the Crown,” the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, according to some expert the third greatest bridge in the world. It’s the gateway to St. Petersburg, the back way to Tampa.

At the end of spring training, I was called into the manager’s office. There would be no going back to Nashville, I had made the team and would go north with the Pirates. The word I was looking for was incredulous, because some way somehow, I was headed to “the show.”

The end of the Bridge is the start of St. Petersburg. A city of two hundred and fifty thousand, it sits across the bay from Tampa and faces the Gulf of Mexico. If you are poor, you live in Tampa. Rich? St. Pete.

Further up the 275, accompanied by the wind noise around my open car and the whine from the supercharger a foot behind my head, I decide to fight back. Up comes the volume on the Lotus’ CD player. A note about my music – I was educated by parents who explained to me that modern music sucked and rap is crap – ‘60s rock and roll is the only real music. Thus, the CD changer has everything from the Beatles covering “Ain’t She Sweet” to the Rivingtons and their immortal “Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow.” Then mix in a dash of Francis Albert Sinatra, and since this is Florida, a dollop of James William Buffett, and presto – music.

When we arrived in Pittsburgh, I was told that my starting days were over and I was now a short reliever. In the lexicon of Baseball, a left-handed “short reliever” is the guy who arrives in the 8th inning, with the game hanging in the balance, for the sole purpose of getting out the other team’s best left-handed hitter. So, I had a role to play.

That first year in a Major League clubhouse was an education. I learned the official language of Baseball – profanity. Players are quite skilled at using modifiers: “That frigin’ ball went so frigin’ far and so frigin’ high!” They also like adding the word “mother” for emphasis. The boys are also adept at coming up with phrases to describe particular situations. If a pitcher goes nine innings and allows two hits, a player might be apt to say he “stuck the bat up your butt.” Conversely, if a reliever comes in, faces four batters, gives up four hits and allows four runs to score, he has just “shit all over the place.” Then there are the ladies. What to a rock guitarist is a groupie, to an outfielder is an Annie. Baseball Annies, like groupies, come in various sizes and shapes, some rather good, some with lots of “personality.” They have one thing – all right, two things in common. They want to meet a ballplayer, and they know the exact location of every team’s road hotel. Some players will always choose quality over quantity, but for others, “a ten o’clock two is a two o’clock ten.” And, of course, there are the bird-watchers, those drawn to the mating call of the double-breasted mattress thrasher.

The year before, Pittsburgh had opened a glorious new ballpark right on the river with a view of downtown. Unfortunately, their silk purse came with a sow’s ear – the Pirates. That summer, the team mustered just seventy-five wins to finish fourth. We outdid ourselves the following season, seventy-two victories. Ta Da!

For two years, I did my job, did it pretty well, and then awoke one morning to learn I had been traded to the St. Louis Cardinals. The Pirates had started yet another urban renewal project. Rebuilding was the one thing they led the league in. Desirable assets, me I suppose, were being exchanged for still more prospects. I was headed for my second team, having been swapped for the legendary “player-to-be-named-later.”

At least I was going to a winning team with a great manager in Tony La Russa. In 2004, the Cards won a stupefying 105 games to take the pennant before having their lunch handed to them by the Red Sox in the Series. The team had front row seats for the death of the Curse. 2005 looked to be more of the same as we won 100 games and swept the Padres in the first round. In the next round, however, we got swarmed by the Astros’ killer B’s. Bagwell, Berkman and Biggio sent us packing in six games.

I enjoyed my season – notice I used the singular and not the plural – in St. Louis because the fans were arguably the best in Baseball. Soon, it was moving day again. The Cardinals had some young arms ready to come up from the minors. “Young arms” is a euphemism for rookies who play for the minimum, and I was a highly paid veteran – as a result of arbitration – at over $1,000,000 a year.

There is a dirty word for what I had become, a “journeyman.”

And while we are on the subject of dirty words, now appearing on your right is Tropicana Field, by unanimous consent the worst ballpark in the world. To me, it’s the box St. Petersburg came in, a domed monstrosity full of girders, cables, catwalks, and about a million-and-a half-ground rules. All of which begs the question, what genius decided that on a summer evening Floridians wanted to be indoors?” Happily, I had the displeasure of playing there on precious few occasions.

So, the Cards shipped me off to the Atlanta Braves. Talk about your boomtown, you can feel it growing around you. In Buckhead alone, there is enough nightlife for five cities, and, per square foot, more beautiful women than anywhere else in the world. You can’t swing a fungo bat without hitting a major babe. Needless to say, my three years in Atlanta were a lot of fun, thanks in large part to a new, lucrative three-year contract.

While there, I got to play for another big-time manager, Bobby Cox. There is a problem with playing for the likes of Cox and La Russa – they are used to winning. For fifteen straight years, the Braves had made the playoffs. Well, we put a stop to that.

Not only did we not make the playoffs, we chalked up the first losing season in fifteen years.

“Oh Lord, I hope they are not rebuilding.”

The Braves were a team in transition, learning to cope without future hall-of-famers Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine. The next season, we somewhat righted the ship – 84 wins left us five games behind the Phillies.

In reality, all we did was rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic. The win total dropped to 72 the following year. Then we were 20 games adrift of the Phils. It was time to rebuild in Atlanta and time for me to go. During the winter, I was traded again, this time to Philadelphia, and in February 2009, I reported for spring training with the Phillies in Clearwater.

“Would it have killed somebody to trade me to the Red Sox?”

Clearwater is precisely where we are now. Having exited the 275, we are now northbound on U. S. Highway 19. First stop is the Lotus Dealer where I am leaving the Elise to be serviced. Note to anyone who plans on buying a high performance British sports car – make sure you know where the dealer is. Mine is fifty-five miles from home.

I am fortunate that the appointment only takes about three hours, and the service manager gives me a loaner car lest I miss an appointment and wind-up with parts stamped “Made in England” littering the Interstate. Ten minutes later, we are back on the Highway.

Spring with the Phillies did not start well. The Club already had left-handed relievers, so, why did they trade for me? There was talk about my going back to the minors, hardly music to my ears.

After six years in the show, the thought of playing out the summer in Allentown, PA, toiling in AAA for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs – whatever they are, was almost too much to bear. Now, for the first time ever, the “R” work crept through my mind. Retirement.

That said, pitchers can be notoriously fragile. Sure enough, a ligament tear here, a pulled muscle there, some tendinitis, and surprise – once again I was invaluable. That summer, the Phillies used twenty-two different pitchers.

I hated Philadelphia – didn’t like the town or the people, and the cheese steak will never replace the sub sandwich or a slice of Regina’s pizza. The poor man’s Cradle of Liberty held no allure for me since I grew up in the real one. The Phillies had moved into a new stadium in 2004, a big upgrade over the dump they used to play in. Citizens Bank Park is many things – pitcher friendly is not one of them. It wasn’t so much a ballpark as it was a launching pad – Canaveral, without the alligators. There were precisely three saving graces. The first, the Phillies were winners. Second, thanks to my now being eligible for free agency, they were paying me over $6,000,ooo a year on a three-year deal.

The third came in June of 1910, when a Delta charter landed at Logan Airport. As a result of inter-league play, the Phillies came to Boston. The next day, I walked on the grass at Fenway Park. You can change grass to sacred soil because, to any true New Englander, this is hallowed ground as surely as the sod on Lexington Green. I got to pitch in Baseball’s Basilica.

A month later, it was well past midnight when we checked-in at San Francisco. I got to my room, and the message light on the phone was blinking. My dad had called and said it was urgent. I called his cell phone and barely recognized the voice on the other end. Through his trembling lips came two words, “She’s gone.” My mother was dead. Four hours later, I was in a cab back to SFO, with a reservation on the first flight home. I arranged for a high school buddy to pick me up at Logan, and we drove to Newton.

The view of our classic New England brick and wood home off Commonwealth Avenue was a sight for these sore eyes. My father was crushed. High school sweethearts, they had been married for thirty-seven years. Two days later, we buried her in Holy Cross Cemetery in Malden.

The Navy was able to get word to Tommie, somewhere in the Med. As for my dad, my only hope was that he would throw himself into his work, which he did. As for me, heartbroken, I went back to helping the Phillies win ballgames. And we kept on winning. Like every team, we had injuries, and like every good team, we fought through them.

We put together a solid 93-win season and in September, clinched the Club’s third straight Division Title. We rolled through the playoffs, making short work of the Rockies and the Dodgers, and landed a spot in the Fall Classic. I now had a shot at a ring, but looming in the other dugout was the team every Bostonian loathes, none other than the Evil Empire. Swear to God – I’d root for the plague if it were playing the Yankees.

The bastards had won the Series twenty-six times, and far be it from us to stand in the way of number twenty-seven. So, the Bronx Bombers took us out, four games to two. No title for the City of Brotherly Love, and sadly, no ring for moi.

Midway through the next season, while warming up, I felt a sharp pain in my elbow. There are two places a pitcher never wants to feel discomfort – in the shoulder, which usually means a torn rotator cuff, and the elbow, most likely ligament damage. I wanted a second opinion. It took one trip to the Kerlan-Jobe Clinic in Los Angeles and one exam by the great Doctor Jobe himself to confirm my own diagnosis, my elbow needed work. In the lingo of medicine, it’s known as an “Ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction.” For a pitcher who didn’t quite make medical school, it’s called “Tommy John Surgery.” On July 23, I went under the knife. The surgeons were pleased with the procedure, and two weeks later I began rehab.

I was three months into rehabilitation before I was allowed to simulate a throwing motion. One month later, they let me swing a golf club. By February, I was throwing off a mound with little discomfort. I then joined the Phillies in Clearwater to do more throwing and increase my arm strength. In April, I started throwing my bread and butter pitch – the curve ball. For whatever reason, it wasn’t breaking, or as players would say, “biting.” During August, there was a traditional rehab tour of the minors, and left-handed batters who I used to have for lunch were lining shots over me, under me, and through me. In September, when Major League Baseball teams expand their rosters to forty players, the Phillies didn’t even bother call me up. In their minds and mine, I was done.

No sad songs for me. I had put in nine seasons in the bigs and earned what in clubhouse-ese was a “shit load” of money, and in time, will receive a very generous pension. While no one’s idea of a miser, I was somewhat careful with my Benjamins. Teammates would pony up $250,000 for a Ferrari, whereas your humble servant would plunk down 50 large for a Lotus. A $100,000,000 contract usually carries with it a 10,000 square foot mansion. As you will see, I settled for less. And for good measure, I bought a ton of Apple at 100 and sold it at 600. In short, I’m loaded.

Ahead is the Florida Highway 60 exit, then a quarter-mile down the State Road, followed by a right onto Old Coachman Road. Our destination is in sight – Bright House Field, spring home of the Phillies. It is part of the new wave of Florida ballparks, with seats for 7,500 and a berm to accommodate an additional 1,500 freeloaders.

I’m here to have lunch with a good buddy, David Murdoch. Davy was the chief nuclear engineer on what is known in the Navy as a “boomer,” a ballistic missile submarine. As with so many before him, two months without seeing the sun got to be a little old. Having retired from the service, now divorced, and grossly overqualified, the Phillies hired him to be of all things their groundskeeper at Bright House.

We pitchers all loved him because he tailored the field to our liking. Ground ball pitchers got taller grass, and the foul lines were slopped away so a bunt would not stay fair. The bulb finally went on over someone’s head, and he was named chief electrician. He is a stand-up guy, an above average golfer, and one of my best friends.

Lunch is at the Clearwater Wine Bar & Bistro, a popular spot on the water. While we wait for our food, Davy brings me up to speed on what he has been doing.

“The Stadium has decided to update the lighting system.”

Good lights are crucial in Florida for an obvious reason – in the summer, virtually every game is a night game. Davy drew up plans for a new, million dollar system. He got the Phillies to go for it based on the fact that it was more energy efficient and would pay for itself…in just a hundred years.

“You’re going to do that job? I realize that you can take a reactor apart in your sleep, but this sounds like trouble.”

“Do you think I’m going up those towers and handle all that high voltage? How dumb do I look? An outside firm does all the installation work. Design? Yes. Touch? No.”

“Consider me greatly relieved. I have plans to clean your clock at Prestancia. When can you come down?”

“We’ll be on the first tee just as soon as I put baby to bed.”

Two ginger ales, a club sandwich, and a fight over the check later – which I won, I drop him off at the ballpark.

Now back to the narrative. One morning during that first spring with the Pirates, I finished my work out early, borrowed a friend’s car, and went exploring. Seven miles south on U. S. Highway 41, I was stopped dead in my tracks. This was it. The sign said “Sarasota”; it might as easily said Paradise. The town’s motto could have been: “aqua, aqua, ubique.” Latin? Seriously? In English, that translates “water, water, everywhere.” Remember, I’m the product of a Catholic education. The area includes two bays, one intra-coastal waterway, inlets, outlets, canals, a bayou, a river and one Gulf of Mexico. If you love the water, and I do, this is the place.

The little town seemed to have everything – theatre, opera, ballet, excellent restaurants although the search for someone who can make lasagna like my mother goes on, and massive snob appeal, which we call sophistication. How could I not love a place whose symbol is Michelangelo’s David? I heard a voice saying,

“Someday I’m going to live here.”

It was my voice.

After three years in the relative squalor of a Pittsburgh apartment, I was ready to make my move.

Siesta Key is a special place, a barrier island with the Intracoastal Waterway on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. Its signature feature, however, is the beach. By acclamation, the beach at Siesta Key is one of the ten best in the world. The reason? It’s the sand, which is pure white with the consistency of baby powder. It’s mostly borax, and one can walk barefoot on the hottest day of the year and not feel it. If a pitcher isn’t pitching, he’s running. What better place to do my miles than right here?

I knew what I wanted. The Key is crisscrossed with canals that feed into the Gulf. The search was on for a home that sits by a canal. My realtor lined up a couple of choices, and number two was the winner, a three-and-a-den fixer, complete with a pool/Jacuzzi combination, and – drum roll please – a dock.

The combination of needs, work, and the bursting Florida real estate bubble made it a steal. A renovation included Alabaster walls, French doors, and a large island in the kitchen since, to an Italian, the cucina is the center of the universe. It took a month, but one day I woke up and was living a five iron from the Gulf. OK, I’ve told you who I am, where I’m from, and what I used to do. The remaining question is,

“What do I do now?”

Well, for starters, I’m a Florida first responder. I signed on as a member of the shock troops when the inevitable big one, Hurricane “fill-in-the-blank”, comes roaring up I-75. In addition, I do some charity fundraising, help coach a little league team, and in my spare time, I am something of a golfer, thanks to a membership at TPC Prestancia. The membership committee was obviously drunk when they voted me in. Oh yes, there is one more thing. I am quite possibly the first ex-ballplayer ever to become a P.I. That is correct. Vic Landell, former big league pitcher, is now Vic Landell, private investigator. Why and how I got this job in a bit, right now I’m just trying to get home.

U.S. Highway 41 is also the Tamiami Trail, or better known to the locals, “The Trail.” It is the main drag through Sarasota, Bradenton, and miles beyond. Outsiders believe the summer is the worst time to be in Florida, and they would be wrong. The winter is the worst time. Why? I can answer that with one word: snowbirds. The Trail, almost desolate in August, is our version of a California Freeway in January. Ohio and Indiana license plates outnumber those that read Florida. It took all of three weeks before I grew to loathe the interlopers.

“Bastards, why don’t they just go home and leave us alone?”

I was an official resident. Normally they are a fact of life and you just put up with them. Tonight is different – I have a date.

    “BURDEN OF PROOF” – Chapter 1 What’s in a Name? My father was born Vito Anthony Orlandella, and he didn’t much care for his name.

Tech Companies Like Foursquare, EventBrite, MeetUp, and Reddit Defend Funding Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz

The heads of 70 tech companies including top names like Reddit and Foursquare are defending taxpayer funding of the Planned Parenthood abortion business.

Despite the fact that Planned Parenthood is the nation’s leading abortion company and regularly aborts more than 300,000 little baby boys and girls every year, these companies want to continue forcing Americans to fund it.

The heads of the companies signed a letter urging Congress to defeat legislation that would defund Planned Parenthood. The letter completely ignores abortion or the fact that Planned Parenthood as aborted so many unborn children annually and is the nation’s leading abortion business–  doing more than one-third of all abortions across the country.

Instead, the tech leaders wrongly discuss how defunding Planned Parenthood would supposedly impact women’s health adversely. The letter ignores the fact that Planned Parenthood funding would go to community health centers that provide legitimate women’s healthcare as opposed to abortion.

Below is a list of the tech industry leaders who signed the letter defending the abortion business:

David Karp, CEO, Tumblr Erin Bagwell, CEO, Dream, Girl Film Jessica Banks, CEO, RockPaperRobot Hayley Barna, Venture Partner, First Round Capital Phin Barnes, Partner, First Round Capital Scott Belsky, Founder, Behance Brett Berson, Partner, First Round Capital Kiran Bhatraju, CEO, Arcadia Power John Borthwick, CEO, Betaworks Bryan Breckenridge, Executive Director, Box.org DeVaris Brown, CTO, Super Heroic Inc.

Cariann Chan, CEO, Level Sara Chipps, CEO, Jewelbots Alex Chung, CEO, Giphy Erin Clift, CMO, Kik Interactive, Inc. David Cohen, co-CEO, Techstars Meghan Conroy, CEO, Captureproof Dennis Crowley, Executive Chair, Foursquare Jess Davidoff, CEO, Admittedly Kelsey Doorey, CEO, Vow To Be Chic Avriel Epps, Cofounder, SeekU Brad Feld, Managing Director, Foundry Group Elizabeth Francis, Partner, Brilliant Ventures Jeffrey Glueck, CEO, Foursquare Jocelyn Goldfein, Managing Director, Zetta Venture Partners Kristen Goldstein, CEO, HireAthena Lisa Hammann, Vice President and Region Head, North American Supply Chain, Genentech Corie Hardee, CEO, Union Station Julia Hartz, CEO, Eventbrite Rob Hayes, Partner, First Round Capital Scott Heiferman, CEO, Meetup David Hirsch, Managing Partner, Compound VC Grant Hughs, CSO, FocusMotion Jennifer Hyman, CEO, Rent the Runway Kellee James, CEO, Mercaris Harleen Kahlon, CEO, Bolde Josh Kopelman, Partner, First Round Capital Sarah Lacy, CEO, PandoMedia Aileen Lee, Managing Partner, Cowboy Ventures Aaron Levie, CEO, Box Jake Levine, CEO, Electric Objects Moj Mahdara, CEO, Beautycon Media Melody McCloskey, CEO, StyleSeat Joanna McFarland, CEO, HopSkipDrive Sheel Mohnot, Partner, 500 Startups Howard Morgan, Partner, First Round Capital Paul Murphy, CEO, Dots Alexis Ohanian, Cofounder, Reddit Eric Paley, Managing Partner , Founder Collective Deven Parekh, Managing Director, Insight Venture Partners Satya Patel, Partner, Homebrew Georg Petschnigg, CEO, FiftyThree Bijan Sabet, General Partner, Spark Capital Chris Sacca, Chairman, Lowercase Capital Noa Santos, CEO, Homepolish Kenneth Schlenker, CEO, Stellar Base Brian Shimmerlik, CEO, Vengo Kristen Sonday, COO, Paladin Robert Stavis, Partner, Bessemer Venture Partners Jennifer Sutton, CPO, EVRYTHNG Doug Ulman, CEO, Pelotonia Hunter Walk, Partner, Homebrew Rick Webb, COO, Timehop Kara Weber, Partner, Brilliant Ventures Alexandra Wilkis Wilson, CEO, Fitz Fred Wilson, Partner, Union Square Ventures Joanne Wilson, Owner, Gotham Gal Ventures Denielle Wolf, CDO, Arloskye Tim Wu, Professor of Law, Columbia University Susan Zheng, CEO, Planted

Yesterday, another House committee approved the bill that will defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business.

As LifeNews.com reported, President Donald Trump made an offer to the Planned Parenthood abortion company that it would not only keep its funding but would increase its taxcpayer funding if it would stop killing babies in abortions and focus on legitimate non-abortion healthcare. But Planned Parenthood said no.

As a result, Republicans in Congress have released the American Health Care Act. Their plan to repeal Obamacare includes provisions that would revoke funding for Planned Parenthood. Under the legislation there is a provision in the bill that prohibits states from using “direct spending” on “prohibited entities” with federal funds allocated from the legislation and those entities include any entity that “provides for abortions.” That means the nation’s biggest abortion corporation — Planned Parenthood.

And it’s not happy.

In an email Planned Parenthood sent to its supports, the abortion giant said: “The threat we’ve been warning about has just hit the House of Representatives. Republican leadership introduced a bill that would cut millions of patients off from care at Planned Parenthood health center.”

The new language also prohibits premium tax credits from being used to purchase plans that offer elective abortion coverage — the abortion funding component of Obamacare.  Between 2018 and 2020, under the proposal, the small business tax credit generally is not available with respect to a qualified health plan that provides coverage relating to elective abortions.

SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must De-Fund Planned Parenthood Immediately

A recent survey found that community health centers not only provide more comprehensive health care than Planned Parenthood, excluding abortions, they also outnumber the abortion group’s facilities by 20 to one.

The U.S. Senate took the first step in paving the way for a vote on defunding the Planned Parenthood abortion corporation in early January. The Senate approved on a party-line vote a budget resolution bill. This repeal resolution is the first step in the process to re-direct Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer funding to legitimate health care entities and repeal Obamacare using the budget reconciliation procedure.

President Donald Trump promised to sign a bill that would defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business.

Recent polls also indicate Americans support the defunding efforts. New polling found 56 percent of Americans in battleground states want Planned Parenthood defunded.

The expose’ videos catching Planned Parenthood officials selling the body parts of aborted babies have shocked the nation. Here is a list of all twelve:

In the first video: Dr. Deborah Nucatola of Planned Parenthood commented on baby-crushing: “We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact.”

In the second video: Planned Parenthood’s Dr. Mary Gatter joked, “I want a Lamborghini” as she negotiated the best price for baby parts.

In the third video: Holly O’Donnell, a former Stem Express employee who worked inside a Planned Parenthood clinic, detailed first-hand the unspeakable atrocities and how she fainted in horror over handling baby legs.

In the fourth video: Planned Parenthood’s Dr. Savita Ginde stated, “We don’t want to do just a flat-fee (per baby) of like, $200. A per-item thing works a little better, just because we can see how much we can get out of it.” She also laughed while looking at a plate of fetal kidneys that were “good to go.”

In the fifth video: Melissa Farrell of Planned Parenthood-Gulf Coast in Houston boasted of Planned Parenthood’s skill in obtaining “intact fetal cadavers” and how her “research” department “contributes so much to the bottom line of our organization here, you know we’re one of the largest affiliates, our Research Department is the largest in the United States.”

In the sixth video: Holly O’Donnell described technicians taking fetal parts without patient consent: “There were times when they would just take what they wanted. And these mothers don’t know. And there’s no way they would know.”

In the seventh and perhaps most disturbing video: Holly O’Donnell described the harvesting, or “procurement,” of organs from a nearly intact late-term fetus aborted at Planned Parenthood Mar Monte’s Alameda clinic in San Jose, CA. “‘You want to see something kind of cool,’” O’Donnell says her supervisor asked her. “And she just taps the heart, and it starts beating. And I’m sitting here and I’m looking at this fetus, and its heart is beating, and I don’t know what to think.”

In the eighth video: StemExpress CEO Cate Dyer admits Planned Parenthood sells “a lot of” fully intact aborted babies.

The ninth video: catches a Planned Parenthood medical director discussing how the abortion company sells fully intact aborted babies — including one who “just fell out” of the womb.

The 10th video: catches the nation’s biggest abortion business selling specific body parts — including the heart, eyes and “gonads” of unborn babies. The video also shows the shocking ways in which Planned Parenthood officials admit that they are breaking federal law by selling aborted baby body parts for profit.

Unreleased Videos: Unreleased videos from CMP show Deb Vanderhei of Planned Parenthood caught on tape talking about how Planned Parenthood abortion business affiliates may “want to increase revenue [from selling baby parts] but we can’t stop them…” Another video has a woman talking about the “financial incentives” of selling aborted baby body parts.

The 11th video: catches a Texas Planned Parenthood abortionist planning to sell the intact heads of aborted babies for research. Amna Dermish is caught on tape describing an illegal partial-birth abortion procedure to terminate living, late-term unborn babies which she hopes will yield intact fetal heads for brain harvesting.

The 12th video in the series shows new footage of Jennefer Russo, medical director at Planned Parenthood in Orange County, California, describing to undercover investigators how her abortion business tries to harvest intact aborted babies’ bodies for a local for-profit biotech company and changes the abortion procedure to do so.

[bridgertonbabe]

So in keeping with the narrative I’ve come up with for Season 2 (which I first wrote of here; https://bridgertonbabe.tumblr.com/post/675192746759356417/in-light-of-the-ew-teasers-what-id-like-to-see ) in which Penelope becomes jealous of Edwina and exposes her through Whistledown (which you can read here;https://bridgertonbabe.tumblr.com/post/675638332025356288/penelope-and-edwina ), I’ve thought of an expansion.

Unable to stop the delivery of the column, Penelope is devastated that she is responsible for the Ton learning of Edwina’s clandestine kiss with James Dorset at the opera. Edwina meanwhile is beside herself for being so foolish and allowing Dorset to kiss her in such a public area. 

Naturally Kate, Mary, and Anthony are all desperate to fix the problem but it’s not so easy when the tarnished woman in question is the diamond of the season. Then, much to everyone’s surprise, Mr. Dorset himself shows up, apologising to Edwina for his indiscretion but offering to make up for it by asking for her hand in marriage. Knowing it would be the only way to save her reputation, Edwina accepts and they push the story that the kiss at the opera was to celebrate their engagement. 

Kate is upset for her sister, wanting only the best for her and heartbroken for her that she hasn’t secured the love match she deserves. In a role reversal, Edwina is the one trying to reassure her sister, telling her that at least Mr. Dorset it very handsome and well built and they would make beautiful children together. When Kate highlights that Edwina wanted an intellectual and educated man for a husband (and that Dorset only possesses brawn), Edwina brushes the point off, ensuring her sister that she’s still young and might not necessarily know what she wants. When Kate asks if she’s in love with Dorset, Edwina tells her that love isn’t always instantaneous and she believes her love for her future husband will grow with time. 

The wedding is a grand affair with Queen Charlotte in attendance as Edwina is her season’s incomparable. Kate stands to the side with her mother, Eloise, and Penelope; all regarding Edwina sympathetically, knowing she’s trying to make the best of a situation she didn’t wish to find herself in.

Cut to two years later (S3) and Edwina’s storyline is of her unhappy marriage. She had been somewhat content at first as Dorset certainly knew how to go about satisfying her in the bedroom but as time went on, Edwina knew she would never truly love the man. They lacked stimulating conversation, she was bored of attending his many sporting events in being the dutiful supportive wife, and he never quite fit in with the Bridgertons who they dined with once a week. She might have been able to focus all her happiness in her marriage into their activities in the bedroom; however her husband had suffered an injury a few months into their marriage in which a polo mallet had collided with his groin, and ever since... well, there had been many times in which she had consoled her bereft husband after he had failed to perform his manly duties. He wasn’t totally impotent (she had gathered he could still see to himself) but he was well and truly humiliated from one too many failures in their marital bed, and as a result the sexual component of their relationship became as stale as every other aspect of their marriage.  

One afternoon Edwina visits her favourite shop in town; Bagwell’s Bookshop and is perusing the new titles. She makes conversation with the shop owner Mr. Francis Bagwell, who mentions his son has arrived home newly graduated from Oxford. As he’s telling her this update, in through the door comes his wife and their son, Matthew. When Edwina catches his eye, she immediately feels something deep inside that she had never felt before. They’re introduced by his parents, telling Matthew that Mrs Dorset is one of their best customers. Matthew’s face falls upon hearing her married title but before he heads upstairs with his mother, he makes a recommendation to Edwina of the philosophy book in her hand. She purchases it without hesitation. 

They bump into each other several times throughout the season, whether that’s in his parents bookshop or at a society event. Every meeting they have is filled with non-stop conversation and Edwina always finds herself sad when she returns home with the knowledge that no such intellectually-stimulating chat will be taking place at Dorset House. They share in a couple of dances and Edwina is utterly captured by him and recognises the feelings she has for Matthew Bagwell are the same her sister has for Anthony Bridgerton; ardent love. Upon this epiphany, it hurts Edwina to see Matthew, knowing they can never be together, and she stops going to his family’s bookshop. 

One evening Edwina finds herself in attendance of a party taking place at Granville House. Lucy Granville had extended the invitation after one of Lady Danbury’s game nights, telling the young woman it would be a great way to blow off some steam. Edwina had heard rumours of what the Granvilles parties entailed and thought it would be a good way to not only reinvigorate her sex drive, but to take her mind off of Matthew Bagwell. At the party she is too shy to entertain anyone and stands to the side before wondering why she thought going there would be a good idea in the first place. She grabs her cloak from a bedroom only to come face to face with Matthew Bagwell. 

It had been a while since either one saw each other and they’re not sure what to say to the other - especially since were encountering each other at a sex party of all places. Edwina asks if he’s a regular at these events but he tells her it’s his first time and he only came with the hope of getting someone out of his head. Edwina nods sadly, envious of the woman who had captured his heart. When he asks her what she’s doing there, she admits she isn’t happy in her marriage and confesses she had also wanted to get someone out of her head. 

Upon her admission, Matthew approaches her, asking who had turned her head. She had never felt more tense but she confesses that he is the man she can’t stop thinking of, spilling her heart when she admits she’s in love with him. Matthew sighs with relief; “Oh thank god you feel the same” and Edwina pulls him to her and kisses him. They make use of the bedroom they’re in and Edwina experiences the most pleasurable sex she had ever had.

They sneak around after that as they embark on an affair. She tells him all she wants is to be with him, if only she could get out of her marriage with Dorset. Matthew vows that he’ll love her no matter what, even if he has to spend the rest of his life loving her in secret. Edwina wishes for a miracle to happen so that she and Matthew can be together officially - and then Whistledown reports of Mr. Dorset’s affair with Lady Trowbridge. 

James Dorset braces himself following the publication of the column, waiting for his wife’s ire. Instead, Edwina waltzes into the room and cheerfully asks him for a divorce, suggesting it would make things easier for him to be with Lady Trowbridge. “If it’s what you want.” he nods in bemusement and she confirms it with a peck on his cheek before practically skipping back out of the room. 

She wastes no time in marrying Matthew and becoming Mrs Bagwell following her divorce (which got fast-tracked thanks to Anthony’s connections and the union ended up being dissolved within a week), and she and her new husband welcome Baby Bagwell some seven months after the wedding, though everyone turns a blind eye to the fully developed baby’s “premature” arrival.

Tech Companies Like Foursquare, EventBrite, MeetUp, and Reddit Defend Funding Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz

New Post has been published on http://www.therightnewsnetwork.com/tech-companies-like-foursquare-eventbrite-meetup-and-reddit-defend-funding-planned-parenthood-abortion-biz/

Tech Companies Like Foursquare, EventBrite, MeetUp, and Reddit Defend Funding Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz

The heads of 70 tech companies including top names like Reddit and Foursquare are defending taxpayer funding of the Planned Parenthood abortion business.

Despite the fact that Planned Parenthood is the nation’s leading abortion company and regularly aborts more than 300,000 little baby boys and girls every year, these companies want to continue forcing Americans to fund it.

The heads of the companies signed a letter urging Congress to defeat legislation that would defund Planned Parenthood. The letter completely ignores abortion or the fact that Planned Parenthood as aborted so many unborn children annually and is the nation’s leading abortion business–  doing more than one-third of all abortions across the country.

Instead, the tech leaders wrongly discuss how defunding Planned Parenthood would supposedly impact women’s health adversely. The letter ignores the fact that Planned Parenthood funding would go to community health centers that provide legitimate women’s healthcare as opposed to abortion.

Below is a list of the tech industry leaders who signed the letter defending the abortion business:

David Karp, CEO, Tumblr Erin Bagwell, CEO, Dream, Girl Film Jessica Banks, CEO, RockPaperRobot Hayley Barna, Venture Partner, First Round Capital Phin Barnes, Partner, First Round Capital Scott Belsky, Founder, Behance Brett Berson, Partner, First Round Capital Kiran Bhatraju, CEO, Arcadia Power John Borthwick, CEO, Betaworks Bryan Breckenridge, Executive Director, Box.org DeVaris Brown, CTO, Super Heroic Inc. Kristina Budelis, President, KitSplit Stewart Butterfield, CEO, Slack Karen Cahn, CEO, IFundWomen Anthony Casalena, CEO, Squarespace, Inc. Cariann Chan, CEO, Level Sara Chipps, CEO, Jewelbots Alex Chung, CEO, Giphy Erin Clift, CMO, Kik Interactive, Inc. David Cohen, co-CEO, Techstars Meghan Conroy, CEO, Captureproof Dennis Crowley, Executive Chair, Foursquare Jess Davidoff, CEO, Admittedly Kelsey Doorey, CEO, Vow To Be Chic Avriel Epps, Cofounder, SeekU Brad Feld, Managing Director, Foundry Group Elizabeth Francis, Partner, Brilliant Ventures Jeffrey Glueck, CEO, Foursquare Jocelyn Goldfein, Managing Director, Zetta Venture Partners Kristen Goldstein, CEO, HireAthena Lisa Hammann, Vice President and Region Head, North American Supply Chain, Genentech Corie Hardee, CEO, Union Station Julia Hartz, CEO, Eventbrite Rob Hayes, Partner, First Round Capital Scott Heiferman, CEO, Meetup David Hirsch, Managing Partner, Compound VC Grant Hughs, CSO, FocusMotion Jennifer Hyman, CEO, Rent the Runway Kellee James, CEO, Mercaris Harleen Kahlon, CEO, Bolde Josh Kopelman, Partner, First Round Capital Sarah Lacy, CEO, PandoMedia Aileen Lee, Managing Partner, Cowboy Ventures Aaron Levie, CEO, Box Jake Levine, CEO, Electric Objects Moj Mahdara, CEO, Beautycon Media Melody McCloskey, CEO, StyleSeat Joanna McFarland, CEO, HopSkipDrive Sheel Mohnot, Partner, 500 Startups Howard Morgan, Partner, First Round Capital Paul Murphy, CEO, Dots Alexis Ohanian, Cofounder, Reddit Eric Paley, Managing Partner , Founder Collective Deven Parekh, Managing Director, Insight Venture Partners Satya Patel, Partner, Homebrew Georg Petschnigg, CEO, FiftyThree Bijan Sabet, General Partner, Spark Capital Chris Sacca, Chairman, Lowercase Capital Noa Santos, CEO, Homepolish Kenneth Schlenker, CEO, Stellar Base Brian Shimmerlik, CEO, Vengo Kristen Sonday, COO, Paladin Robert Stavis, Partner, Bessemer Venture Partners Jennifer Sutton, CPO, EVRYTHNG Doug Ulman, CEO, Pelotonia Hunter Walk, Partner, Homebrew Rick Webb, COO, Timehop Kara Weber, Partner, Brilliant Ventures Alexandra Wilkis Wilson, CEO, Fitz Fred Wilson, Partner, Union Square Ventures Joanne Wilson, Owner, Gotham Gal Ventures Denielle Wolf, CDO, Arloskye Tim Wu, Professor of Law, Columbia University Susan Zheng, CEO, Planted

Yesterday, another House committee approved the bill that will defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business.

As LifeNews.com reported, President Donald Trump made an offer to the Planned Parenthood abortion company that it would not only keep its funding but would increase its taxcpayer funding if it would stop killing babies in abortions and focus on legitimate non-abortion healthcare. But Planned Parenthood said no.

As a result, Republicans in Congress have released the American Health Care Act. Their plan to repeal Obamacare includes provisions that would revoke funding for Planned Parenthood. Under the legislation there is a provision in the bill that prohibits states from using “direct spending” on “prohibited entities” with federal funds allocated from the legislation and those entities include any entity that “provides for abortions.” That means the nation’s biggest abortion corporation — Planned Parenthood.

And it’s not happy.

In an email Planned Parenthood sent to its supports, the abortion giant said: “The threat we’ve been warning about has just hit the House of Representatives. Republican leadership introduced a bill that would cut millions of patients off from care at Planned Parenthood health center.”

The new language also prohibits premium tax credits from being used to purchase plans that offer elective abortion coverage — the abortion funding component of Obamacare.  Between 2018 and 2020, under the proposal, the small business tax credit generally is not available with respect to a qualified health plan that provides coverage relating to elective abortions.

SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must De-Fund Planned Parenthood Immediately

A recent survey found that community health centers not only provide more comprehensive health care than Planned Parenthood, excluding abortions, they also outnumber the abortion group’s facilities by 20 to one.

The U.S. Senate took the first step in paving the way for a vote on defunding the Planned Parenthood abortion corporation in early January. The Senate approved on a party-line vote a budget resolution bill. This repeal resolution is the first step in the process to re-direct Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer funding to legitimate health care entities and repeal Obamacare using the budget reconciliation procedure.

President Donald Trump promised to sign a bill that would defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business.

Recent polls also indicate Americans support the defunding efforts. New polling found 56 percent of Americans in battleground states want Planned Parenthood defunded.

The expose’ videos catching Planned Parenthood officials selling the body parts of aborted babies have shocked the nation. Here is a list of all twelve:

In the first video: Dr. Deborah Nucatola of Planned Parenthood commented on baby-crushing: “We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact.”

In the second video: Planned Parenthood’s Dr. Mary Gatter joked, “I want a Lamborghini” as she negotiated the best price for baby parts.

In the third video: Holly O’Donnell, a former Stem Express employee who worked inside a Planned Parenthood clinic, detailed first-hand the unspeakable atrocities and how she fainted in horror over handling baby legs.

In the fourth video: Planned Parenthood’s Dr. Savita Ginde stated, “We don’t want to do just a flat-fee (per baby) of like, $200. A per-item thing works a little better, just because we can see how much we can get out of it.” She also laughed while looking at a plate of fetal kidneys that were “good to go.”

In the fifth video: Melissa Farrell of Planned Parenthood-Gulf Coast in Houston boasted of Planned Parenthood’s skill in obtaining “intact fetal cadavers” and how her “research” department “contributes so much to the bottom line of our organization here, you know we’re one of the largest affiliates, our Research Department is the largest in the United States.”

In the sixth video: Holly O’Donnell described technicians taking fetal parts without patient consent: “There were times when they would just take what they wanted. And these mothers don’t know. And there’s no way they would know.”

In the seventh and perhaps most disturbing video: Holly O’Donnell described the harvesting, or “procurement,” of organs from a nearly intact late-term fetus aborted at Planned Parenthood Mar Monte’s Alameda clinic in San Jose, CA. “‘You want to see something kind of cool,’” O’Donnell says her supervisor asked her. “And she just taps the heart, and it starts beating. And I’m sitting here and I’m looking at this fetus, and its heart is beating, and I don’t know what to think.”

In the eighth video: StemExpress CEO Cate Dyer admits Planned Parenthood sells “a lot of” fully intact aborted babies.

The ninth video: catches a Planned Parenthood medical director discussing how the abortion company sells fully intact aborted babies — including one who “just fell out” of the womb.

The 10th video: catches the nation’s biggest abortion business selling specific body parts — including the heart, eyes and “gonads” of unborn babies. The video also shows the shocking ways in which Planned Parenthood officials admit that they are breaking federal law by selling aborted baby body parts for profit.

Unreleased Videos: Unreleased videos from CMP show Deb Vanderhei of Planned Parenthood caught on tape talking about how Planned Parenthood abortion business affiliates may “want to increase revenue [from selling baby parts] but we can’t stop them…” Another video has a woman talking about the “financial incentives” of selling aborted baby body parts.

The 11th video: catches a Texas Planned Parenthood abortionist planning to sell the intact heads of aborted babies for research. Amna Dermish is caught on tape describing an illegal partial-birth abortion procedure to terminate living, late-term unborn babies which she hopes will yield intact fetal heads for brain harvesting.

The 12th video in the series shows new footage of Jennefer Russo, medical director at Planned Parenthood in Orange County, California, describing to undercover investigators how her abortion business tries to harvest intact aborted babies’ bodies for a local for-profit biotech company and changes the abortion procedure to do so.

I like to fancast Suraj Sharma as adult Miles. He has that energetic cheerful look I feel Miles would have. Also if any of the Kathony kids wore glasses, I feel it’d be Miles.

He is very cute ngl

I can definitely see the Miles vibe for sure and it fits in with the energetic cheerfulness I feel his character would have - but that being said I locked in my Miles Bridgerton fancast in as Dev Patel.

Though the longer I look at Suraj the more I'm warming to the idea of possibly fancasting him as either John Stirling II or Francis Bagwell in my BNG series...

Will contenders chunk the bullet on prospect deals?

Will contenders chunk the bullet on prospect deals?

Houston Astros players, coaches, ushers, security personnel, Craig Biggio, Jeff Bagwell and anyone else with an appreciation for the franchise’s fifty six-calendar year title-totally free history would like almost nothing far more than to see a championship trophy presentation in October.

Common supervisor Jeff Luhnow is firmly on board with that scenario. In Luhnow’s world, the only issue better than successful a Earth Sequence would be successful a Earth Sequence devoid of putting a crimp in his pride and pleasure — the farm method.

Luhnow drew a line in the sand of sorts this week when he stated he had no strategies to “overpay dramatically” for a pitcher just before Monday’s 4 p.m. ET non-waiver trade deadline. In MLB common supervisor-talk, which is code for “maintain your greedy paws off our potential clients.”

Lots of baseball executives tumble in enjoy with their talent pipelines, but Luhnow is acknowledged in the marketplace for acquiring a pine tar-caliber grip on potential clients. If an opposing team’s trade overture tends to make reference to Kyle Tucker, Francis Marte, Forrest Whitley, Yordan Alvarez, Derek Fisher and specified other aspiring Astros, it is really in all probability a nonstarter.

“Jeff values his potential clients extremely really,” an executive with an American League club stated.

Maintain up with the most current as baseball’s time for deals hits entire swing. Trade Deadline Every day » Olney: Players groups really should transfer now » Insider: Hitter trades we want to see » Roundtable: Darvish deals and past » Insider: A deal for each individual workforce » Full deadline protection »

That is no knock on Luhnow. It just signifies that groups on the other end of the telephone are probable to satisfy with a distinctive reception than they could get when talking to, say, Boston Red Sox GM Dave Dombrowski.

The equilibrium between immediate gratification and extended-phrase wondering is particularly tenuous this week, as groups ponder moves that could change the dynamic in August, September and October. Imagine back again to past year’s trade deadline, when the Cleveland Indians sent potential clients Clint Frazier and Justus Sheffield to the New York Yankees for Andrew Miller. All Miller did was strike out thirty batters in 19⅓ postseason innings, earn the American League Championship Sequence MVP award and spur speak of a new baseball part: the “tremendous reliever.”

The 2017 deadline falls quick on players of that magnitude. Detroit outfielder J.D. Martinez is an outstanding center-of-the-buy bat, but he’s a two-thirty day period rental, and the Arizona Diamondbacks obtained him for a prospect offer that some talent evaluators explained as “mild.”

Texas Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish has a front-of-the-rotation pedigree, but he’s also a rental in the center of a bumpy period. Darvish has a 4.01 Era, and he was flogged for 10 operates in a 3⅔-inning showcase towards the Miami Marlins on Wednesday.

Oakland Athletics pitcher Sonny Grey, the deadline’s other headliner, wins raves for his make-up and competitiveness. But most golf equipment see Grey as far more a No. 2-3 form starter, and they are involved about his durability in mild of his recent personal injury history.

“Sonny Grey is a extremely very good pitcher, but he’s not a Clayton Kershaw or a Chris Sale,” an American League executive stated. “He is not a No. 1.”

To this stage, the Athletics’ front office environment is pricing Grey like a No. 1, and groups in the chase can only guess wherever talks will lead. Will Oakland reduced its needs at the deadline or hold onto Grey and take a look at the chance of buying and selling him in the offseason? Or will a likely suitor tumble target to the deadline adrenaline hurry and take the plunge?

Inside of baseball circles, the most important intrigue revolves about the Dodgers and Astros, who’ve been far and away the two greatest groups in the video game. Any transfer they make will be customized toward improving their probabilities in October, because August and September are a mere formality on their way to 100-moreover victories.

Andrew Friedman, the Dodgers’ executive vice president of baseball operations, has a effectively-acknowledged dislike for July trades because the values are so out of whack. If the Dodgers do make a deal, they’d want it would not include a single of the franchise’s major 3 potential clients — outfielder Alex Verdugo and pitchers Yadier Alvarez and Walker Buehler.

Then again, the Dodgers haven’t won a Earth Sequence given that 1988. If Friedman and his front-office environment workforce assume Darvish could be the missing piece, are they willing to say no because of Alex Verdugo or Walker Buehler?

Houston’s perceived weakness is beginning pitching, but the Astros could be good in October with a rotation of Dallas Keuchel, Lance McCullers Jr., and two from the Charlie Morton–Mike Fiers–Collin McHugh–Brad Peacock combo platter. It is not outlandish to assume they are all able of maintaining a higher-powered Houston workforce in a playoff video game for 5-6 innings.

Luhnow could opt for System B and seem to make an influence bullpen acquisition in its place. But if he’s resistant to relocating a major prospect for a starter, he could be likewise hamstrung in his pursuit of Zach Britton, Justin Wilson or Brad Hand.

Even the Yankees, who’ve quickly found faith when it will come to potential clients, have a tough call to make. New York is in all probability a calendar year ahead of plan many thanks to the emergence of Gary Sanchez, Aaron Choose and now Frazier. But pennant race euphoria has its limitations. Frazier, Gleyber Torres, Sheffield, Probability Adams, Dustin Fowler and James Kaprielian are an integral part of the team’s strategies, and they are not going wherever this thirty day period.

Negotiations are fluid and worth judgments are often matter to adjust at the trade deadline. But it appears that several contenders are prepared to say no or downsize their anticipations alternatively than pay out a value they deem too much.

“At the end of the day, as we get to the deadline, there are often groups that overreach and overreact,” an AL executive stated. “But I will not assume you’ll see individuals providing up players who are close to the majors except if they experience seriously very good about their [postseason] probabilities.

“It is a young man’s video game now.”
