<a href="http://beaconsociety.com/" target="_blank">The Beacon Society</a>, a not-for-profit scion society of the Baker Street Irregulars that supports and recognizes exemplary educational experiences that introduce young people to the Sherlock Holmes stories, is offering grants of up to <b>$500</b> to fund the development of such programs. The grants honor the memory of Jan Stauber (above), a New Jersey middle school teacher who for 10 years visited classes in the guise of Sherlock Holmes to encourage students to discover the joys of reading.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://beaconsociety.com/JanStauberGrant.html" target="_blank">Jan Stauber Grants</a> have been awarded to creative teachers and librarians in the USA since 2004 and in Canada since 2012. Previous awardees have used Sherlock Holmes to teach English, literature, history, mathematics, forensics, deductive reasoning, and critical thinking to students in elementary school through high school.<br />
<br />
The deadline for 2014 grant applications is May 1. An application form, guidelines and other details about the Jan Stauber Grants are at <a href="http://beaconsociety.com/JanStauberGrant.html" target="_blank">BeaconSociety.com</a>. For more information about the grants, contact <a href="mailto:adevitt@comcast.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Allan Devitt</a>.<br />

Since we recently relaunched our site, we've discovered a small glitch that makes getting to some of our older shows a bit difficult. There are navigational aids on the site such as the Interviews drop-down in the right column on the web, and the Podcast Episodes and Interview Shows sections below, but they are each limited.<br />
<br />
We've created a new navigation in the toolbar above under "Listen" that includes our <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/search/label/episodes" target="_blank">Latest Episodes</a> and our <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/p/show-archives.html" target="_blank">Show Archives</a>. We hope that these will help you find what you need. We've also reproduced the Show Archives page here and will update it with each new episode we post.<br />
<br />
And if you're just finding your way here for the first time, please be sure to read our <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/p/new-here.html#.UuX0t8Qo5w0" target="_blank">New Here?</a> and <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/p/resources.html#.UuX1m8Qo5w0" target="_blank">Resources</a> pages, which contain a veritable plethora of valuable information not only about this site, but about the Sherlockian world in general.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Show Archives</h4>
This is where we chronicle the full archive of all of the I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere episodes, the first podcast for Sherlock Holmes devotees. We like to think of ourselves as Car Talk for Sherlockians, but most of all, we hope you'll find us an enjoyable and valuable resource.<br />
<br />
Each link in the list will take you to the page with that episode's notes, a player and the ability to download each episode. You'll find our most recent episode queued up in the player below. And of course, be sure to subscribe to our podcast via <a href="http://www.feedblitz.com/f/?Sub=917393" target="_blank">email</a>, <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=C*JE*kqZKe8&offerid=78524.10006064&type=4&subid=0" target="_blank">iTunes</a>, or with our<b style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> </b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DZUTGYS/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00DZUTGYS&linkCode=as2&tag=thebakerstree-20">IHOSE Android</a><img border="0" src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00DZUTGYS" />, <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/podcast-box/id419361759?mt=8">IHOSE iOS app</a>, or <a href="http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/d1029dc0-f4b0-470e-bff5-3d6e787aaf9e">IHOSE Windows apps</a>.<br />

<br />
When we have the opportunity to sit on a couple of sofas and interview some of the most erudite and interesting Baker Street Irregulars of our time, we take it. And it seems that the BSI Weekend serves as just the spot to do that. Two years ago, we had an opportunity to do just that with Michael Dirda (ref. <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2012/01/episode-38-on-conan-doyle.html#.Uvg-asRDuSp" target="_blank">Episode 38: On Conan Doyle</a>), and we were again afforded that opportunity this year.<br />
<br />
On January 16, 2014, we had the great fortune to find an upstairs room in The Players in Manhattan, where we plunked our microphones down in front of <a href="http://www.vincentstarrett.com/" target="_blank">Ray Betzner</a>, BSI ("The Agony Column"), editor of the 75th anniversary edition of <i>The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes</i>, and the esteemed <a href="https://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2020/10/remembering-susan-rice-ash-bsi-2s.html" target="_blank">Susan Rice</a>, BSI ("Beeswing"), ASH ("Some Observations  upon the Segregation of the Queen"), author of <i>The Somnambulist and the Detective: Vincent Starrett and Sherlock Holmes</i>, and got them to wax poetic about the great Sherlockian and bookman, Vincent Starrett.<br />
<br />

<br />
While many people are familiar with the names of Edgar Smith and Christopher Morley when it comes to early Irregular history, Vincent Starrett may not be as widely known. He was certainly very well known in his own time, and particularly in his city of Chicago. His contributions to the world of Sherlock Holmes were immense, and his own magnum opus <i><a href="http://amzn.to/1h28jXg" target="_blank">The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes</a></i> is probably the most well known.<br />
<br />
But what else was known of this man? How did he become such a great scholar of Holmes? What of his professional life? What mysteries within his own personal life and commitments kept him from attending all but the first BSI Dinner, despite his death some 40 years later in 1974? Our interview subjects delve into all of these topics and many more as they help us explore the multifaceted bookman Vincent Starrett.<br />
<br />
We hear from Vincent himself in the opening strains of the show and we close not with a Gas-Lamp, but of a reading of his touching poem "221B." Both of these are available on <i><a href="http://wessexpress.com/html/starrettspeaks.html" target="_blank">Starrett Speaks: the Lost Recordings Audio CD</a></i>, available from the Wessex Press, our sponsor.<br />
<br />
Listener comments are back (thank you!), both written and audio, and we give those some airtime. Finally, we have a <b><i>special item</i></b> - an article that Starrett wrote for <i>The Observer</i>, the catalog from Oppenheim's from Autumn 1929, titled "Fashions in Fiction" - that is available as a bonus item only for listeners who have downloaded our <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DZUTGYS/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00DZUTGYS&linkCode=as2&tag=thebakerstree-20">IHOSE Android app</a><img border="0" src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00DZUTGYS" />, our <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/podcast-box/id419361759?mt=8">IHOSE iOS app</a>, or our <a href="http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/d1029dc0-f4b0-470e-bff5-3d6e787aaf9e">IHOSE Windows app</a>.<br />

The Return of a Long-Lost Holmesian Forum

<br />
For those who have been around these parts for a bit, you may recall the forum Holmesian.net. At one point early last year, the site lost its domain registry and the very robust set of discussion boards, chat rooms and forums were lost. It was too bad, as there was a good deal of information gathered there and the site acted as a resource and portal for many, just as Sherlockian.net has done.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWP1zf0kF3g1XyetsIPla-vZ7Hlz6roWtJpUo9w_xPPonUQmT3K2w9IEzhcLWodgS10H4yugS-flaRd55u1G569MVF5gZY4NmOOxOlfZno9OJCRb23FoTgoolX8zvI25jwdfOn8W1SIxl7/s1600/holmesian.net.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="136" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWP1zf0kF3g1XyetsIPla-vZ7Hlz6roWtJpUo9w_xPPonUQmT3K2w9IEzhcLWodgS10H4yugS-flaRd55u1G569MVF5gZY4NmOOxOlfZno9OJCRb23FoTgoolX8zvI25jwdfOn8W1SIxl7/s1600/holmesian.net.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Just as we had seemingly put it out of our minds, chalking it up as another unfortunate loss of the Internet through a missed deadline or hacked site, we were pleased to discover that the architecture and even some of the content of the site has been <strike>resurrected</strike> recreated as <a href="http://bakerstreet221b.boards.net/" target="_blank">221B Baker Street</a> (<a href="http://bakerstreet221b.boards.net/">http://bakerstreet221b.boards.net</a>). It's an entirely new set of administrators who were members of the old site.<br />
<br />
The site bills itself as "the internet's only complete and concise English-language Sherlock Holmes online community," and requires signup/login for membership, which is free. All one needs to participate is an email address and to select a login name.<br />
<br />
The site is neatly divided into a few sections to help members get around:<br />
<br />
<h4>
Greater London</h4>
<ul>
<li><b>The Vestibule</b> - new members, introductions, etc.</li>
<li><b>221B, Baker Street</b> - general Sherlock Holmes discussion</li>
<li><b>Professor Coram's Study</b> - essays, fanfic, pastiches, etc.</li>
<li><b>The British Museum</b> - discussion of Holmesian-era history, Victorian era, Edwardian era</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<h4>
The Lyceum Theater</h4>
<ul>
<li><b>Sherlock Holmes on the Silver Screen</b> - discussion of all Sherlock Holmes feature films </li>
<li><b>The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Granada</b> </li>
<li><b>BBC's "Sherlock"</b></li>
<li><b>Holmes on the Air</b> - discussion of Sherlock Holmes audio books, or classic Sherlock Holmes radio shows (1930s - 1950s)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<h4>
The Diogenes Club</h4>
<ul>
<li><b>The Diogenes Club</b> - off-topic discussions</li>
<li><b>St. James's Hall</b> - all musical discussion</li>
<li><b>The Suggestion Box</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
We suggest hopping over to the site and checking them out. Whether or not you're in the market for an online discussion forum that's outside of your usual path on the web, it might be good to see what's happening there - such as <a href="http://bakerstreet221b.boards.net/thread/44/why-books-canon-canonical" target="_blank">the discussion</a> around why the works that make up the <i><a href="http://amzn.to/1fUfJc5" target="_blank">Apocrypha of Sherlock Holmes</a></i> aren't included in the Canon.<br />
<br />
Were you a member of Holmesian.net? What do you think of the new iteration of the site?<br />
