Singers and Sewing Singers

Continuing from my previous post, note from the wiki page of the Dakota Apartment Building:
The Dakota was constructed between October 25, 1880, and October 27, 1884
commissioned to create the design for Edward Clark, head of the Singer Sewing Machine Company
 Three of my life partners family are born on October 25, each during a different year, two are brother and sister, my partners nephew and niece.

And from the wiki page of the Singer Corp:

Singer Corporation is an American manufacturer of sewing machines, first established as I. M. Singer & Co. in 1851 by Isaac Merritt Singer with  Edward Clark
  •  Isaac Merritt Singer (October 27, 1811 – July 23, 1875) 
  • Edward Cabot Clark (December 19, 1811 – October 14, 1882
Singers date of death is an addition to the "Targeting Family Deaths" pattern-cluster since July 23 is the day my mother passed away this year.  His birthday is the same day, October 10, as the completion date of the Dakota building.  Perhaps this was planned by Clark in memory of Singer who had passed away in the midst of construction.  Clark's birthday is an addition to the "December __, 18/19/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster given that December 18 is my sisters birthday.  
On the Dakota buildings wiki page and in the section entitled popular culture: 
  • In the 2001 Cameron Crowe film Vanilla Sky, protagonist David Aames (Tom Cruise) owns two apartments in the building; exterior shots of the actual Dakota were used in the film.
The "Hunter Rose" stands out.  Note from the Grendel series wiki page:
Grendel is a long-running series of comic books originally created by American author Matt Wagner. First published by Comico, Wagner later moved publication of the series to Dark Horse. 
  • Matt Wagner (born October 9, 1961)
If you recollect from my recent posts, John Lennon and his son Sean are born on the same day, October 9th!!  This makes 3... an "October 9" pattern-cluster.
As for the second, the name Crowe definitely stands out... as does "vanilla sky"... which I checked out right away:


  • The title of the film is a reference to depictions of skies in certain paintings by Claude Monet.[8] In addition to Monet's impressionistic artwork, the film's tone was derived from the acoustic ballad "By Way of Sorrow" by Julie Miller and a line from an early interview of Elvis Presley in which he said, "I feel lonely, even in a crowded room."[5]
  • Oscar-Claude Monet (14 November 1840 – 5 December 1926
We had a December 4th pattern-cluster in the previous post so we now have a "December 4, 5/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  Note the films release date:

Release dates
  • December 14, 2001

An addition to the "Targeting Family Birthdays" pattern-cluster given that December 14 is my younger sisters birthday.  Note this excerpt from the films wiki page:  
  • Mateo Gil Rodríguez (born 23 September 1972)
Open your Eyes speaks volumes, and  since my mother was born on the 23 and died on the 23rd, this 23rd stands out.  In this next leg of research I've highlighted pertinent dates in order to designate a connection/pattern-cluster.  The light green are birthdays of immediate family members.    Note  from the wiki pages of some cast and crew: 

Cameron Bruce Crowe (born July 13, 1957) Director
Paula Wagner (born December 12, 1946) Producer


Actors:
Tom Cruise (July 3, 1962)
Penélope Cruz Sánchez ( 28 April 1974)
Cameron Michelle Diaz (August 30, 1972)

  • Kurt Vogel Russell (born March 17, 1951)
  • Jason Michael Lee (born April 25, 1970
  • Noah George Taylor (born 4 September 1969) 
  • Timothy Leonard SpallOBE (born 27 February 1957)
  • Katherine Matilda "TildaSwinton of Kimmerghame (born 5 November 1960)
  • Michael Corbett Shannon (born August 7, 1974)
  • Kenneth "Ken" Leung (born January 21, 1970
  • Shalom Harlow (born December 5, 1973) 
  • Ivana Miličević (born April 26, 1974) 
  • John Mark "Johnny" Galecki (born April 30, 1975)
  • Alicia Roanne Witt (born August 21, 1975)
  • Jennifer Aspen (born October 9, 1973
  • Steven Allan Spielberg(born December 18, 1946)
So we have a "December 12, 14, __, 18/Even Days/  Date Sequence" pattern-cluster in the works. As well as an "April 25, 26, __, 28, __, 30/Date Sequence.  Those stand out the most.  The two light green are the birthdays of my sister Joanne and daughter Erin.

Singer Sewing Machine Company Presidents:

  • Edward Cabot Clark (December 19, 1811 – October 14, 1882)
  • Isaac Merritt Singer (October 27, 1811 – July 23, 1875)
  • Sir Douglas Alexander, 1st Baronet (4 July 1864 – 22 May 1949) 
  • Frederick Gilbert "Commodore" Bourne  (December 20, 1851 – March 1919) 
Sir Alexander birthday is an addition to the "July 4"  and "Notable Day" pattern-clusters, given that 3 of the first 5 US Presidents are born on July 4th... and one born... and President Obama's eldest daughter is also born on this day.  Oh yes and US Independence Day.  And as for Bourne, his birthday adds to the cluster: "December 12, 14, __, 18, 20 /Even Days/  Date Sequence" pattern-cluster
