"J. G. Hall, 915 Elizabeth Ave., Elizabeth, N.J."
This image must date from the earliest days of cabinet cards, or else this woman was hopelessly out of fashion. If this was in a carte de visite format, I would date it to about 1863, but cabinet cards were not in widespread use until 1870. Even if this does date to 1870, her clothing is still very far from "au courant." Perhaps this is a case of mourning clothing being kept and reused.
The sitter appears to be wearing a hair memorial brooch with a black enamel setting.
"Patronized by his Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales. First Prize Silver Medal for the Best Portrait 1869. First Prize Medal for Artistic Photography 1865, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society. R. Slingsby, Photographer, 468 High Street, Lincoln."
This woman is probably in mourning.

"J. A. Keenan, Photographer, No. 526 South Second Street, Philadelphia." Written in pencil on reverse: "Aunt Mary."
What makes this photo truly interesting is that it came with a second CDV, taken without doubt in the same studio and on the same day, of a woman who is almost certainly Aunt Mary's sister, also in mourning. Whilst the other sister, www.flickr.com/photos/60861613@N00/9430230260/in/photostream, wears a much grander gown with bright jewelry, Aunt Mary wears a more ill-fitting, possibly remade dress with a small hair mourning brooch that probably matches her sister's. Together, these two women show the effects of wealth and personal preference on how women appeared in mourning--for they are clearly memorializing the loss of the same individual at the same stage of mourning.
April 9, Shanghai Tesla in a ring with a sudden elevated "off-axis." Owners said Saturday in Central Viaduct, suddenly slammed, the vehicle starts skidding. After stopping the rear wheel camber found, no other damage. Look back you can see the tire hold postmortem scratches, and picked up some of the brakes of the rear axle. Police came after judge did not hit anything (the body no scratches), only scratches the hub, and should be a tire locking emerge after scraping the wall.
When I heard that today's Seattle Urban Sketchers sketchcrawl was at Suzzallo library I thought I would like to do something different than I did last time when I sketched the front of the building. I thought it would be fun to go back into the stacks where I first started thinking about what would later become my career as a Criminal Justice/Criminology professor. So I found the old familiar HV section ... some of the books on the shelves...The Criminal Personality, The Onion Field, Sexual Homicide Patterns and Motives, Crime and the American Dream, Punishment and Social Control, Acting Out: Maladaptive Behavior in Confinement, Letters from Attica, Life and Death in Sing Sing, Concrete Mama: Prison Profiles from Walla Walla, Using Murder: The Social Construction of Serial Homicide, Sex Crimes, Women, Murder, and Justice, Women Serial and Mass Murderers, Evil Doers, Convicts, Profiling Violent Crimes, Techniques of Crime Scene Investigation, Postmortem....As I sat there sketching I remembered many a day long ago lost in some of these books. A peaceful afternoon sketching down memory lane thinking about how powerful books can be in shaping the course of a persons life.

Because black and white seemed to pull out more details, I have included this version of the albumen cabinet card.

"Osterman, Cedar Bluffs, NEB."
Although the subject of this photo is unknown, the photographer was Claus J. Osterman, 1863-1940, who was a German immigrant. He settled in the town probably at its founding in 1886 and was operating as a photographer until at least 1900. Later, he and his wife Dorothy Harding (1870-1951) ran a large hotel in the town.
Carte de visite by S.C. Landon of New Milford, Conn. A deceased child lay in a baby carriage, grasping a rattle in the right hand. The simple backdrop and carpet suggests that this image was made inside the photographer's studio, perhaps on the way to his or her funeral and burial.
