Here Gainsborough has captured the fierce determination of a man of action, sinews rippling just under the surface of the civilized exterior; straining nay bursting from the constraints of polite society! The dynamism fairly leaps from the canvas.

Mr Sequeira was an accomplished Jewish doctor, who evidently had Gainsborough as a patient.
I am always fascinated by these. A guy who lived hundreds of years ago, commissions a portrait. The fact that the artist is famous is one of the reasons his name is remembered at all. By the info, he was a good doctor.
It kind of gives me the same feeling as walking through a cemetery. All these people, who lived and died. Had kids, problems. Probably had more than a few triumphs and tragedies.

Harvard now has lawyers examining years of athletic chat messages for every varsity team, looking for some indication a cross country runner thought his female teammate looked pretty good running ahead of him in her team shorts or a tennis player was an afficianado of the female team uniforms.

With the exception of The Blue Boy and one or two others I've never cared for his portraits. They seem almost sketchy with a feel of chalk or pastels. (Maybe better looking models would have helped. Guess a guy's got to make a living, huh?)
I prefer Gainsborough's landscapes as a rule. Some of them remind me of a proto-Adirondack school.

This was an important man, from a family of important men. Catholic education though, and medical school in France, then Leyden. Wonder if he was a "practicing" Jew? For a littler perspective, at about age 17 he saw his home city knocked flat in the moral quandary of the century. Earthquake.

It looked strangely similar in each case. And the reaction by the interviewer came off the same. Each time, the facial expression was one of disgust and disbelief, as the interviewer used the words "there's no proof."

My dad would sometimes play pranks on my mom. Like when after he had his pacemaker, the hospital sent him a model pacemaker for some reason. So my mom asked "what's that?" when it came in the mail, and dad said "The was a problem with my pacemaker & this is the replacement." "WHAT?!?", my mom exclaimed. Dad continued "It says I can install it myself, I just need a steak knife & a D cell battery." He was deadpan that my mom believed him.

I have just spent an hour trying to isolate water to the refer so that can change it out when they get here with the new. Of course the job goes like shit. It always does. The isolation vales I had bot on the hot water heater where they used the self-tapping valve for refer water did not isolate that POS valve. And of course the POS valve would not close as it was locked up full open. So wound up crawling under the house to isolate water to the whole house. Then had to take back door of the hinges to get the new one in and the old one out.
Now waiting on delivery. Guaranteed there will be a problem there too.

OT:
A Christmas Story
Indeed, Clenis was dead.
"A Merry Christmas, mother! God save you!" cried a cheerful voice. It was the voice of the Hag's insufferable daughter, a mousy little woman with features that reminded one of a ventriloquist's dummy mouthing a sad comedy routine in the bleak music halls of Whitechapel.
"Bah!" said the Hag. "Humbug!" She picked up her pace, her walker tap-tap-tapping along the cobbled streets, filthy with the excrement of the lower classes who frequented the streets of Chappaquatown. At the door to the counting-house the sign still proclaimed "Clenis & Hag, International Influence Peddlers" even after all these years. The Hag darted inside, bolting the door closed behind her.
Donning her nightclothes and lighting a candle she ascended to her bedchamber and parsimoniously doused the candle to save a ha'pennies worth of paraffin wax. Settling in for the night she pulled the bedclothes tight under her chins and prepared to sink into the depths of her own dark soul for the night. Ere the clock struck nine she heard the rattling of chains. Looking toward the bolted door she thought she saw the ghostly figure of her old dead partner William Clenis, Esq. Rubbing her eyes and blinking, she looked again.
"No, no, no, it's not possible! You're dead!" she wailed.
"Yea verily it is I, Hag." the Spectre intoned. "And I come to warn you, before this night is over you will be visited by three spirits. The Ghost of Campaigns Past. The Ghost of Campaigns Present. And the Ghost of...oh who am I kidding, there won't be any campaigns future, because you will never be President!!! Bwahahahahaha!"

I thought to myself, those were not a decoration. They were used before electricity. The person probably kept them as an heirloom from their parents, passed it on to their kids when they passed away. And the kids either sold them to the antique mall, or they did not have kids.

That's kinda how I picture Muldoon looking when he's composing a limerick; a bit foppish, legs crossed because he's really gotta go but a poet must suffer for his work, and a steely determination in his eyes as he tries to think of something that rhymes with Susie Rottencrotch.

The left and the feminists have been trying to destroy Barbie since Mattel made M-16 stocks.
This is just another attempt to do so, and probably Amy will do the best she can to get the cache of destroying what she thinks is a cultural icon: e.g. something bigger, better, and more popular than she is.
After this: Hello Kitty

A Christmas Story
Indeed, Clenis was dead.
"A Merry Christmas, mother! God save you!" cried a cheerful voice.
It was the voice of the Hag's insufferable daughter, a mousy little
woman with features that reminded one of a ventriloquist's dummy
mouthing a sad comedy routine in the bleak music halls of Whitechapel.
"Bah!" said the Hag. "Humbug!" She picked up her pace, her walker
tap-tap-tapping along the cobbled streets, filthy with the excrement of
the lower classes who frequented the streets of Chappaquatown. At the
door to the counting-house the sign still proclaimed "Clenis Hag,
International Influence Peddlers" even after all these years. The Hag
darted inside, bolting the door closed behind her.
Donning her nightclothes and lighting a candle she ascended to her
bedchamber and parsimoniously doused the candle to save a ha'pennies
worth of paraffin wax. Settling in for the night she pulled the
bedclothes tight under her chins and prepared to sink into the depths of
her own dark soul for the night. Ere the clock struck nine she heard
the rattling of chains. Looking toward the bolted door she thought she
saw the ghostly figure of her old dead partner William Clenis, Esq.
Rubbing her eyes and blinking, she looked again.
"No, no, no, it's not possible! You're dead!" she wailed.
"Yea verily it is I, Hag." the Spectre intoned. "And I come to warn
you, before this night is over you will be visited by three spirits.
The Ghost of Campaigns Past. The Ghost of Campaigns Present. And the
Ghost of...oh who am I kidding, there won't be any campaigns future,
because you will never be President!!! Bwahahahahaha!"

The reason that portrait is so good is that Gainsborough actually exerted some effort.

So Wisconsin still looks good for Trump in the recount, but the left would do its old trick ... wait till most of the recount is done, saving their last corrupt precincts for last, where they find those boxes in the trunks they'd forgotten.
With the Obama judges everywhere, I still have doubts. Of course best they could do would get it to a House vote, it seems. But who knows, the DC Uniparty Cartel might hate Trump enough even now, to choose the Crooked Globalist, and take off the mask of any pretense they believe in America First, or in America at all. All Dems plus a bunch of RINOs would be enough.
ok, that is unlikely ... but "we" don't have SCOTUS now, so if leftist judges decide to overthrow the election, I guess it is time for war. Sensible judges should reverse the MI decision promptly, but they seem to be a domestic enemy at this point.
It is "a mess", but it is well funded enemy action mess. They walk among us.

108 So, the Michigan HAND recount is going to take place.
Had the ill fortune to see Jill Stein on Fox's Sunday show. She talked about how there were 75,000 ballots with no selection for president just in Detroit (which is probably false - Detroit is 99% Democrat). She stated these could be ballots that were marked too faintly to be read by the scanners.
Well, Ms. Stein, you need to study some Michigan and federal election law. Several years ago in my township an election worker feeding absentee ballots into the scanners. He thought he was doing a good deed by darkening the circles which were too faint to be read. He did a multi-year prison term for tampering with ballots - quite a punishment for an elderly man. Of course, it's probably OK in Democrat counties.

If you check out the completed precincts at WI.elections you can see that, while the other counties are moving quickly to complete, Dane County has very few precincts' recount finished. Rep Duffy said they were slow-walking it and the completed precinct numbers supports that. Hope Walker and the AG have a good plan to go around these weasels.

On another site, it was suggested that Trump sue for an audit in the states that the FAB won. I'm not against that....
I certainly hope Trump is keeping his eye on this shit and not letting it slide as sore-loser machinations.
I'd love him to start blasting Scankles and the MFM for not reporting on electors' death threats. Hold a press conference or cut a video with them telling their stories.

yeah, but she went to federal court ... that comes up soon. It will be a nearly impossible hurdle, even more so than MI. But when lib judges are called to action, all law is thrown out. All pressure, legal and illegal, is being brought to bear, it would seem.
Not sure why they chose that over paying the one million. Might be some strategy, not just an oversight or refusal to pay.

Know the feeling. I went to an antique mall to look for a birthday present for Mom. They had a set of four heavy glass/crystal oil lamps, with huge glass (what do you call the glass cylinders placed around an oil lamp flame?)
I thought to myself, those were not a decoration. They were used before electricity. The person probably kept them as an heirloom from their parents, passed it on to their kids when they passed away. And the kids either sold them to the antique mall, or they did not have kids.
I am getting maudlin. The Hemingway short story popped into my head.

chimneys, they are called chimneys.
Tools and lamps I delight in. Craftsmanship, materials, care in creation to make something to be used. I love using things like that if at all possible because it honors the craftsman who made it and the individual that bought it to use and cared for it because of its utility.
But pictures are hard, they are memories made real, or a moment in time preserved, and without the meaning behind them they are evidence of loss.
And I am getting maudlin. Sunrise is a terrible time to get maudlin.

First Rule of Valves
(obviously not for Vic, but the rest of us would-be DIY'ers)
When you turn a valve ON, turn it all the way, and then go back a quarter turn. When you turn it OFF, crank it down but then ease off a little tiny bit.
Otherwise the gasket inside that actually makes the seal gets compacted and hard, and no longer stops all the fluid.
I just hate those teensy puncturing saddle-taps. Do. Not. Trust.
I always picture Somalis tapping a finished-product pipeline.
AOP probably sets the ones that are a full Canadian metre across...

Eh, if he was just glancing at it on his phone whilst reading her texts it would be believable - smaller screen and (it seems) predisposed to believing his wife would bring home stray animals.
Think that she stretches the joke out for way too long.
I would not go on after 1st all-caps exchange w/my hubby - why goad him into saying something both would regret?

148 And I know someone who has a regular St. Francis complex, complete with food, water, shelter in her back yard for all sorts of non-pet critters.
Complete with vet visits that cost her hundreds and hundreds of dollars... money she cannot really spare, by the way.
So yeah, there is a sickness here. People unable to distinguish wild animals from pets.
Posted by: BurtTC at December 05, 2016 10:27 AM (TOk1P)
There's also a kind of converse to that. Every few months a new kitty will appear on the back porch, and my two (fully vaccinated, indoor-only) cats will moo angrily at it through the glass door. It'll come by a few times a day, and I don't know if it's an actual stray or what. Sometimes I'll hear from my neighbor that someone down the street mentioned that they let Precious Princess wander wherever she wants, which is ridiculous since the neighborhood is right between two 35mph streets. At least put a collar on it, because the best outcome is that the cat will end up at the Ingham County animal shelter, and the other outcomes are pretty messy.
Seriously, no patience for people who claim to just looooove their pets but don't actually ensure their welfare.

Stein said the money is some place other than in her hands. This sounds like Soros is behind the big money, and I'm sure they were plotting even on election night, on how to overturn this, where to be stashing ballots, plan of actions, lining up judges ... they have billions on the line, not to mention our national sovereignty.
They have enough criminals in the system that will do anything ... they have been getting away with it for a long time. How dare we voters interfere.
Experts keep saying it is over, but they keep being wrong ... at least in part. Judges are ignoring law, as they did in Bush/Gore, even through the FL supreme court. If the Stein wins the PA thing, then "the fix is in", cuz she has no good case ... (same in MI which she won). Our SCOTUS would maybe rule 5-3 for Trump, with the women voting commie. or maybe not ... sheesh

These portraits of obscure people make me realize we're all obscure. Everything we've ever said or done vanishes into the void. This doctor wasn't a nobody - he was a big f*cking deal and had the coin and reputation to prove it. And now?
That's one of the few consolations I have when some asshole like Van Jones or Amy Schumer opines on subjects their stunted intellect cannot comprehend.
"Enjoy the TV now, schmuck," I think, "because in a hundred years you'll be as famous as Samuel D. Hubbard or Sheila Terry."

First Rule of Valves
(obviously not for Vic, but the rest of us would-be DIY'ers)
When
you turn a valve ON, turn it all the way, and then go back a quarter
turn. When you turn it OFF, crank it down but then ease off a little
tiny bit.
Otherwise the gasket inside that actually makes the seal gets compacted and hard, and no longer stops all the fluid.
I just hate those teensy puncturing saddle-taps. Do. Not. Trust.
I always picture Somalis tapping a finished-product pipeline.
AOP probably sets the ones that are a full Canadian metre across...
Posted by: Stringer Davis at December 05, 2016 10:34 AM (H5rtT)
Not necessarily for all valves, If a valve is designed with a "backseat" you are supposed to backseat it. (just don't that in a system that heats up until the system is hot). A backseat valve though is used for high pressure systems to relieve pressure on the packing. Shouldn't be too many of those in a home.

Wonderful idea. Hope he jumps on those DREAMer's first to verify if they voted as part of the plan. Proof Trump was correct.
____________________
The state of NC did an audit of its voter records a few years ago, and they found over 100 of Obama's DREAMers had registered to vote there -- even though they had specifically been told that they were not eligible to register or vote, and even though NC's voter registration form warns, in bold red type, that persons who are not U.S. citizens are not eligible to vote and should not complete or submit the form.
Imagine that. Illegal aliens who don't respect U.S. laws and refuse to comply with the law.
Who could have seen that coming?

How important do you have to be to have a portrait of yourself nowadays? How much would it cost me to commission one of myself?
The reason nobody has portraits painted anymore is photography - which does a much more accurate job than a painter can do. Oh goody, maybe we can get a whole "photographs can't be art" flame war started.
The price of a painted portrait varies considerably. I have a neighbor kid who will do one for $5 - it won't look much like you - unless you resemble a stick with a big round head. You might be able to get a "starving artist" to paint one for $1000. Or you could get a modern artist of critical acclaim to paint one for $100,000. Of course it would look just like my neighbor kid's portrait of you - but that signature...

The Russian-made jeep ferrying Castro's ashes broke down and needed to be pushed on Saturday en route to the late leader's final resting place.
The breakdown of the jeep in the midst of adoring crowds chanting "Long live Fidel!" was symbolic of the dual nature of Castro's Cuba. While his legacy inspires fierce adulation by many of the nation's citizens, others continue to grumble about Cuba's autocratic government, inefficient bureaucracy and stagnant economy.

Yes.
First the MFM pushes the storyline that "a true count of the popular vote reveals that Hillary has won the 270 electoral votes needed for victory."
Next, "spontaneous" demonstrations around the country celebrating the "will of the people" with plenty of tut-tutting by the participants, the media and the Dems (BIRM) that, now that "the true count" has revealed Trump to have lost, it is necessary for democracy that he step down.
Possibly, though not necessarily, Obama seconds this.
"Spontaneous" violence against Trump supporters who dare to gather to protest or who make their feelings known. Because they are trying to "overthrow democracy."
National Guard and / or regular military patrols to "keep the peace."
Trump forced to step down "for the good of the country."

I don't think that is the real strategy. To the extent it is, it is just fanciful. First, no state is going to not send in its votes. Second, even if some shannigans did force this to the point where a vote went to the states, Trump would win.
I think these recount votes are nothing more than fundraising opportunities and trying to weaken Trump by highlighting how "slim" his win was. On the former, I don't care, waste your money left. On the latter, I'd say it is having the opposite effect.

Don't count out that PA court case yet. All Steine has to do is get a ruling from an Obama judge like she did in MI. Delay all three States past the federal due date and get the electors for those States de-certified and you have the election of 1824 all over again.
That election became known as the "corrupt bargain".
----------
I'm ruling that out. Send it to Congress, Trump will win again.

Though admittedly, I would find such a process fascinating.

223 Result? WAR.
--------------
And not a Twitter war. The real kind.
Posted by : Moron Pundit
Yes, but, an endless simmering insurgent sort of war, where the ides are murky, and without any clear boundaries and objectives.
A weakened dysfunctional America, which is the goal of the Fascist Left, as financed by George Soros and others.
They could just TASTE Victory, you know.
And along came Trump, to obstruct their Brave New one World.
To think that they will just quietly fall in line and play nice and fair is naive.
Sadly, their worst case scenario is that they lose this round.
But they can wait till next time. Because of demographics and deep pockets.

Read the comments on this article. The article itself is way behind the actual news on this, and a commenter pointed out that the absentee ballots haven't been counted, as was noted in a poster's comments on this thread.
Also, if a candidate loses 18,000 votes in a recount, Jill Stein's point would have been proven. That would be a huge red flag that the election was rigged or poorly conducted and would possibly be voided.
Do not wish for giant swings in vote tallies for Trump. It would mean a serious crisis for an election.

In re White Christmas, Kaye was third choice. The role of "Phil Davis" was originally tailored for Fred Astaire, who turned it down because he thought he was too old for the character.
It was then offered to, and accepted by, Donald O'Connor, who, however, got very sick during pre-production and the role ended up in Danny Kaye's talented hands.

it depends on regulation where you live, but there was no prohibition
on them when we built.

It is not a good idea to have a garbage disposal on a septic tank. When was the last time you had to have it dug up and pumped?
A septic tanks works by dissolving materials and spreading them out just underneath the soil in your yard. A lot of stuff that goes down a garbage disposal does not dissolve.

So San Fran Nan's statement on Ben Carson's nomination for HUD secretary is that he is "disconcerting and disturbingly unqualified choice" . That someone in that position needs experience to protect homeowners and renters.
LOL, Ben Carson grew up in HUD housing. I'd say he has a lot more experience than Nancy and her limousine libs have.
Why doesn't she just come out and say he is an uppity negro and has no place being in charge of a govt. program? It's what she is actually thinking.

I said "yes" and posted why I thought so.

Such an happening would certainly cause a lot of outrage. Its one, but not the only reason why we shouldn't fear such an occurrence.

OK, while we're discussing things mechanical I shall solicit an opinion on a 4WD issue.
I just towed a friend's car to get it into a position where I could make the cables reach to recharge her battery. I put it in 4WD-Lo to feel cool when I did that.
Now the stupid thing will go back into 4WD-Hi but it won't go into 2WD.
In my old Jeeps there was a lever that made a big thunk when you shifted modes. This is an XTerra that (while otherwise perfect) has a dashboard dial that you turn to change modes.
Anybody have any experience/guesses about this? I'm hoping that driving around for a while will cure it.

It is not a good idea to have a garbage disposal on a septic tank. When was the last time you had to have it dug up and pumped?
A septic tanks works by dissolving materials and spreading them out just underneath the soil in your yard. A lot of stuff that goes down a garbage disposal does not dissolve.
Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at December 05, 2016 11:19 AM (mpXpK
Vic, we have our tank serviced every three years. All tanks should be pumped and inspected on a regular schedule based on number of bathrooms, residents, etc. We had our home built and I was the one who got to be here for the septic field test holes to be dug and the County Health dept approval, the subsequent tanks (we have two) placement, inspection, the drain field siting and placement, all piping to it, and the subsequent approvals and plumbing hookups. The same excavating company who installed our system is who we have routinely clean out our tank.
We live in an "environmentally" aware area. Our county health department is notorious for it's requirements for septic systems. New systems for replacement or new builds normally run $15,000 for a system that has sand and appropriate leaching capabilities and upwards of $40,000 for an engineered system requiring pumps, elevated evaporation mounds, etc.
Garbage disposals are permitted.
Garbage disposals should be used rationally. I don't put globs of fat, or meat, or stalks of celery , etc. down it. It has minor bits of this and that, occasional peels, etc. Slightly more than you would allow through the grinder in your dishwasher, but not whole this or that. That would be my advice for anyone who has a disposal. Cleaning one out of stuck objects or having to root a drainline is not fun.
A septic tanks works by dissolving materials and spreading them out just underneath the soil in your yard. A lot of stuff that goes down a garbage disposal does not dissolve.

Vic, we have our tank serviced every three years. All tanks should be pumped and inspected on a regular schedule based on number of bathrooms, residents, etc. We had our home built and I was the one who got to be here for the septic field test holes to be dug and the County Health dept approval, the subsequent tanks (we have two) placement, inspection, the drain field siting and placement, all piping to it, and the subsequent approvals and plumbing hookups.

I just towed a friend's car to get it into a position where I could make the cables reach to recharge her battery. I put it in 4WD-Lo to feel cool when I did that.
Now the stupid thing will go back into 4WD-Hi but it won't go into 2WD.
In my old Jeeps there was a lever that made a big thunk when you shifted modes. This is an XTerra that (while otherwise perfect) has a dashboard dial that you turn to change modes.
Anybody have any experience/guesses about this? I'm hoping that driving around for a while will cure it.

332 Yeah, I had to learn the hard way what's flushable
and what's not. Probably TMI, but tampons are not flushable despite
what the box claims. I have rocks for soil with a little layer of dirt
on top of the rocks so a garbage disposal won't work. The only part
of my land that has nice grass is the leach field.
I would have liked having a garbage a disposal though.

There is no "environmental" reason for pumping a septic tank that often. You should not have to pump it more than once every 5 to 10 years unless you are putting stuff in that does not dissolve or you have problem with the spreader field.

They were pictures. She took acrylic paint and embellished the periphery to give it texture. Not sure who was more embarrassed.

As far as fridges with water dispensers/ice makers go, never owned one. But it seems to me the sensible way to provide such convenience would be to equip the appliance with a small suction pump, and a few dozen feet of Polyflow tubing, and let it draw off a carboy of purified water stashed in a nearby pantry. Less chance of the fridge's plumbing getting gunked up with minerals from the water, too.
