I don't know why. It can't be because of style. Berthe Morisot was the most popular. More than Monet. I don't think it was political. As far as I know, his beliefs lined up--more or less--with the rest of the Impressionists, except Pizarro.

I agree-I love Renoir after seeing an exhibition of his works that are at the Petit Palais. It seems like he actually liked the people he painted, which is a nice thought. I imagine a lot of artists had to paint portraits to keep food on the table, and resented those who commissioned their work. This is refreshing.

My favorite Renoir though is Nude in Sunlight. I especially like the criticism from the art critics of the day that described it as a painting of a rotting corpse. I don't think they appreciated Impressionists at that time.

Regarding Malaria's being rented out to Weinstein :
Do you really honestly believe that Barky and Mooch didn't know? The POTUS with every intelligence, military and LE agency at his command knew NOTHING about Weinstein's freakiness?
Malia supposedly lost her SS protection during that internship. And even if she had them, are you saying that she would have rejected Weinstein's sex-for-fame deal because "morals and scruples" and shit?
Why is everyone so willing to defend the Obama dynasty's crypto-Muslim "honor"? Did I miss a memo about the last 8 years?
Were the millions in cold cash sent to Iran not enough proof?
They don't think like you. Their value system consists of trading their humanity for fame, power and money. The only reason that half of these people are making noise now is either to get paid or defend their personal wealth.
Their consciences are burnt charcoal. They are fully convinced that they are better than us. They have no idea how to earn money. They barter with what they have: sex, power, control, family, children.

You haven't thought through how deep the rot goes. I doubt that Malia was ever required to show up, beyond doing lunch a few times with starstruck fans of her Daddy. The only reason that she was placed there was so that Weinstein and Co. could have a very easy and secure back door way of funneling cash to the Dem party structure behind the scenes, whenever they needed to.
Malia was just a convenient placeholder. But it was never about her actually doing a job, or even showing up.
We think about rules for jobs like all of the little people do - you have to show up, you're supposed to do something. But the Obama's and the Weinstein's of this world know that none of these rules were ever meant to apply to them.

The Impressionists were revolutionary, inspired heavily by Manet. Before them art was naturalist. The Academy prized idealism above all. To the powers-that-were they were the exact opposite. They were the next generation after the Marxists and socialist revolutions. The culture-brokers probably saw their un-idealistic styles as another counter-culture (which they were) and against everything civilized society should be. What's interesting is that for the most part, they were pretty bourgeois and considered themselves ultra-realists.

Michael Taylor seems like a nice kid. He was as surprised as anybody by that grand slam!
My husband and I were at the last Nats regular season game, and we were sitting in the right field section, behind Bryce Harper. The section next to us was behind Michael Taylor, and there was a family in the front row, dad, mom, 2 kids, all sporting Taylor jerseys (probably the only ones in the park) and with a banner that said "Michael Taylor for President" on it. They would stand and hold the banner whenever he was at bat, or coming back out to center field. No idea why, and I don't think they were related, because the family was white and Taylor is black. It was cute though.

Taliban hostage family freed by Pakistani troops
Pakistani soldiers have freed a North American family of five who were being held hostage by the Afghan Taliban.
Canadian Joshua Boyle and his US wife Caitlan Coleman were kidnapped while backpacking in Afghanistan in 2012. They had three children while in captivity.
They were rescued after a US tip-off during an operation near the Afghan border, the Pakistani army said.
US President Donald Trump said it was a "positive moment" for US-Pakistan ties.
"Ms Coleman gave birth to the couple's three children while they were in captivity," Mr Trump said in a White House statement. "Today, they are free."
He added: "The Pakistani government's co-operation is a sign that it is honouring America's wishes for it to do more to provide security in the region.

We share space on this planet, all seven billion of us. Most of whom, obviously, we'll never meet, never know at all, never experience each other's highs and lows in this world.
We have a weird connection here on this site, and when a tragedy such as this occurs, we feel it, because we care. We love each other. Even if we will never see each other in person.
God is amazing, and we know that. He works through, in some small way, on this silly site. Hopefully that will be a comfort to Hrothgar, as he and his family go through this.

Indeed, the little girl will grow up to be a fetching beauty and the unheralded true cause of WWI, with more death to her credit than Helen of Troy.
The guy with the umbrella and the beard, top left, will go on to play Kinsey in Mad Men.

And from weirdflunky:
An update from earlier this week-
I decided to postpone the procedure to remove my kidney stone until next week if I can make it till then.
I've come home to bury my father today. He will be missed.
My sincere thanks to all the horde for your thoughts and prayers this week. This has been a week to forget.

We have a weird connection here on this site, and when a tragedy such as this occurs, we feel it, because we care. We love each other. Even if we will never see each other in person.
God is amazing, and we know that. He works through, in some small way, on this silly site. Hopefully that will be a comfort to Hrothgar, as he and his family go through this.
I hope all of us can experience some peace in knowing this.

She can indeed see the dead, but Renoir has made doing so more difficult. Renoir was a known cat-eater, and eating cat-meat can make a person invisible (in both life and death), and so she's actually sensing his essence, but not seeing it.

Two years ago the Cardinals had an historic first half, looking like they would break their team record for wins in a season... which I think it 105.
They limped down the stretch and made it to 100. Best in baseball that year. Then were promptly dispatched by the Cubs in the division series. As we all know now, the Cubs were up and comers, not ready that year, but finally won it all last year.
It's always been true that the regular season is only ONE test of a championship team. It's the endurance part. You have to have the horses to win the sprints of the playoffs/World Series as well. Or else go home.
Too bad for the Indians. What a marvelous year they had. Looks like they were damaged by injuries though.

True, but by the same token, sometimes it's not about play as much as it is who can you trade for during the season. Many times the team that plays in April looks nothing like the team that plays in October.
But, then again, the business of professional baseball includes the business of professional baseball.
All teams have an equal shot a buying and trading players (or so they say.)
The last weekend in July is often more determinative of a team's world series chances than the first four months of play.

I was born and raised Southern Baptist, with a bit of Orthodox Jew thrown in. Living overseas, you go to church wherever you can find one-particularly in the Middle East. We started going to a Lutheran Church (Missouri Synod, doncha know) here in NoVa, because the parking lot wasn't full of Obama/Coexist stickers. But they foolishly made me a ministry lead, and I have to go to meetings. And...Plus sized women in their Mickey Mouse Sweater Vests (to steal from Iowahawk) are fierce about their ministry turf and defend it with the passion of CBD finding ways to taunt bluebell about the Red Sox. They also try to encroach on other's turf, and get shirty about it. Baptist just bless your heart. These women take a casserole spoon to it.

Me, too! The way the paintings were displayed was overwhelming and fabulous.
The story of how the collection ended up at the new site is sad and upsetting - an interesting dilemma of private ownership vs. public desire to share the collection with the world. So wish Barnes had planned it better. There's a documentary called "The Art of the Steal" about it, which is biased toward keeping paintings at original site. Even if you don' side with them, seeing how the vultures on the other side (including PA governor, the DA, the local paper, etc.) behaved in order to manage it is unsettling.

It makes no sense that he would have the explosives and not have them rigged. It is plausible that he intended to rig the bomb(s) over the next few days, but his preparations were interrupted by the security guard. That's why the security guard was shot before the attack -- because the attack was a target of opportunity, not the original target.

So far, not much of what has been disclosed makes a whole lot of sense. There are clearly a lot of pieces of this puzzle still missing (or being deliberately hidden from the public).

Fistfight, in the Pastor's private office. In front of the Pastor. Both women in their 60's, and quite large. Oh lordy lord, what a scene!

Never did DMT and no reason to now. As for salvia, I tried smoking it once, but it tasted like raw asparagus so I couldn't get past the 2nd toke. Nope, for me it's THC. That's my DoC.

I just stick to the bottle myself (can't pop hot on a piss test). I've heard that taking THC in edibles is a hell of a ride.
Is there such a thing as a difference between strains? I've suspected a long time it's marketing bullshit that the dispensaries do. If the psychoactive chemical is just THC, how would one strain differ from another? At most the % content would just effect the intensity of the high, not the characteristics.

Because they are dumbasses who didn't listen in Western Vic 101-Vikings were captured by Ottomans during raids there, and became the Janissary guards. It was considered a huge honor, and the sultans loved them because they were huge, fierce, and red-headed. There are a number of red headed Saudis now, who are treated with great deference, because they are direct descendants of the Janissaries.

Nope, I was wrong. I was confusing her with Shannen Doherty, who she replaced on some t.v. show. Doherty shaved her head because her hair was coming out due to the chemo. It wasn't a political statement, or an indication that she was crazy, just sick. McGowan shaved her hair for some stunt.

So their solution was to develop an elite fighting force, with all of the best weapons they could buy, which had NO ties to any tribes or nationalities or regions anywhere in the Empire. And that also gave them no reason to ever join a rebellion, since there was no one who would ally with them.
They were the Sultan's personal fighting force, they would gladly go out and thump ANYBODY the Sultan told them to go after, and their loyalty was absolutely guaranteed.
Not a bad setup, gives some insights on how the Ottoman's managed to get 400 years of peace out of the middle east.
