Prior to the mid 19th-century, paper was made from cloth rags. That's where "rag picker" comes from. The pages from books of that era don't yellow or get brittle, which is the case with paper made from wood pulp.

Too much geography and features there, really. You got fog and roads and woodcutters and hummocks and creeks and small hills and jackasses and ladies and trees, but they are all infilled as it were.
I wonder about that. Remington and more modern painters did a lot of open space and sparse features, where the older landscapers liked to cram everything in short of the elephants and the column of elk in the distance, like some sort of rococo altar covered in landscape.
Granted, Georgia O'Keeffe's landscape with one giant floating skull would seem a bit spare to a Georgian landscape buyer, but they seem to want to celebrate the broad experience of the countryside by cramming it all together on one canvas.

Hold off on getting another too soon. Your other cat is missing her (him?) too, and needs time to adjust to losing a friend. She probably isn't minding all the extra attention, though, and maybe the peace and quiet, too.

I like Gainsborough's landscapes better than his portraits even though the portraits are what he is best known for. Go through a chronological series of his paintings and it is interesting how quickly he improved. Portraits from the 1740s are rather wooden and stylized. They remind me a bit of "American Gothic". Five years later his models are noticeably more natural and certainly more complimentary. A short time later he is at his peak with "The Blue Boy" and others. And he didn't become static in style. He continued to develop, or at least experiment, and the results are clear even to my amateur eyes.
I should see if there is information on the paints and palette Gainsborough used. They are seldom garish even when bright.

Here, by popular demand in the earlier thread, I present the story of my father's foray into the exciting world of danger and profit that is 'Worm Farming'.
So, Dad retired from the Army after thirty years creditable service. Settled back onto his 20 acre apple orchard and lived the life of a gentleman farmer. Casting about for new ways to bring in some money he had seen ads in the backs of magazines for "Worm Farming". Figured he was smart enough to make that be profitable. Researched it. Read everything he could get his hands on about the subject. Sent off the payment (?? $100 ?? $200, who knows) for his Worm Farm Starter Kit™ and built an elaborate series of worm boxes on racks out in the barn. Like deep drawers. Plywood, maybe 8 inches deep, 3' by 3' dimensions, filled with soil and I suppose some sort of special worm food.
Anyway, he seeded the boxes with the starter worms and settled back to wait for the dough to start rolling in. He tended the worms regularly (not sure if that included exercise and grooming or just feeding). The deal was that the company would buy back the worms when they reached a certain length (let's say 3 inches for the sake of the story).
The good news was that the total biomass of the worms in his boxes probably increased ten-fold.
My dad was a really good farmer.
The bad news was that those worms, in captivity, at least, multiplied very readily but did not grow any bigger than about an inch and a half. So he had a couple million worms but none big enough to sell back.
After several months, he realized this, dumped the entire kit and kaboodle out in his vegetable garden and went fishing.
He was also a really good fisherman.

Yup. That's right CA just eliminated 20+million in financial aid for middle and lower class American students and gave it to "Dreamers" i.e.. illegal aliens to the tune of roughly 88 million.
"Dreamers" are literally stealing money which could be used for American citizens to better their lives.
So, the whole "Dreamers" thing is just another weapon by Our Betters to destroy the middle class and the American Dream for Americans
who are-
the very people who voted for Trump.
Way to shoot yourself in the foot.
I knew Trump would do things I wasn't totally on board with, but I didn't care and still don't.
However, this is a great way to lose the support of his voters- esp. middle class voters if they can't afford college to keep their kids in the middle class, while some "Dreamer" with worse grades gets a full ride.
Sad.

It has a generous trial IIRC, and is often marked down to $25 or so around holidays and black Friday. I wouldn't be surprised if a search for something like "Scrivener discount" had some good results, too.

No one in her family told him, he only found out because the divorce atty contacted him. In the meantime her dirtbag family gave their two dogs, whom he was including in alimony, to a shelter. One dog was put down because a medical condition made it "unadoptable" and the other got adopted by the foster family.

Plenty of great tutorials on Yutube. It has terrific features for outlining, character development, plot tracking. Every writer uses it differently. i just started using the index cards and labeling features. awesome. i use it with Dragon speech to text also.
i had a major issue with an update i believe and ehn I opened my latest draft it was empty (heart stop) also I couldn't open the file at all a couple fo times. AtC had the same issue i believe, because it auto save to Dropobox, thats was empty too. So now i save it to Dropbox, thumbdrive etc. manually. Also, i save a Word file also.

I just had a former colleague from work pass away this past weekend at age 60 due to pancreatic cancer. When first diagnosed, he was given 4 months to live; he lived for 17 months and agreed to take part in clinical trials of aggressive treatments (that last was so like him).
If we're in our sixties, isn't what we're experiencing passing away-wise the approach to "max expiring" in the normal curve for life expectancy?

The perception of an improving economy, improving corporate profits (which filter down to the stockholders as dividend payments), both create an environment where stock values rise, day after day.

What little I've read sounds like he was just diagnosed with cancer within the past month or so and most of his colleagues, including the Fox ones are shocked.
He was always more of a pet liberal than a hard core , evil one, as far as I'm concerned. You could get irritated at his arguments, and if you watched long enough, you could see him laughing at himself when he was arguing for something even he knew was ridiculous. He was also always kind whenever a conservative was ill, died, etc. as a decent human being should be.

No idea what he's talking about with parks. I've read that national and state parks near the border with Mexico have been absolutely trashed by border crossers, so building a wall would likely improve these parks, not destroy them.

"As a protest against Trump removing protections for trans kids, everyone should use the opposite gender's bathroom today! #protecttranskids"
(Can't quite figure out how to paste just that one tweet, but you should be able to find it if you google him or look for JB Pritzker's Twitter feed.)
I doubt anyone will take him up on his suggestion, but I almost wish someone would as it would only serve to prove exactly the point that us normal folk are trying to make about transgender bathroom mandates, which is how easily they can (and will) be abused. #thisishowyougetmoreTrump

Funny, the stories I've read have only highlighted refugees of the single, male variety trekking into Canada. In one story last weekend the guy even said he left his wife and three kids back in his home country - the one he claimed was so dangerous he had traveled through 9 countries to flee. Forgive me if my heart is not breaking for a guy who did this to his own family.

I think the logic goes like this: the only planet that we know that supports life is Earth-sized (because it is Earth), and it has liquid water on it, which is a necessary condition to support life as we know it. Hence, other planets that maintain similar conditions might support life, as there don't appear to be insurmountable obstacles to critters like us living there.

I wonder if this is a sign that Democrats, at higher levels of the party, are deciding to go further left rather than moderate.
Granted, this candidate isn't even the candidate and he's not an elected member of any body, but he's probably a big time donor to the party. Seems to be another sure sign that the money of the Democratic Party is going to insist on a further leftward lurch.

I think the reasoning goes like this:
Life as we know it requires air and water to exist.
You can only have liquid water on planets that orbit in the 'goldilocks zone' of their suns.
So let's focus on the earth-sized planets in the GZ. Not that life couldn't exist in some form elsewhere, but the GZ planets offer the most promise.
By the way, I don't give a hoot about intelligent life on other planets, if any. What I do give a hoot about is habitable planets for mankind to go to and explore. Because I'm a hatin', rapin', exploitin', colonizin' white man.

Back in the day there was a series of "spontaneous photos" over time from the middle east. I think they were from Iraq, and were the usual "baby killing carnage outrage" photos.
There was only one problem. All the photos from various places had the same outraged old woman in them.
And that picture of the refugee boy that drowned? Not convinced that wasn't staged after the fact.
I don't believe any of the photos any more. Or the MSM

It's less that we're saying "life has to look like us" so much as we're saying that "life like us most likely exists in places like ours" and "we know that life like us exists, because we exist, but we don't know if life vastly different than us exists" so if we're looking for life, it's easier to look for things that are familiar to us at least at first.

Powerline has been doing a series on Ellison since he became a candidate for the DNC (since the guy who runs the site is from MN).
Apparently, Ellison's past is not just filled with other people saying racist things, but him saying racist things. He's also got a reputation as a great organizer, but that reputation is built on shoddy electoral numbers that don't really suss out.

The Powerline guys have been ratting out Ellison, the crap that he says and his questionable associations, ever since he was elected.
Not that it has made much difference. But it's good that his dubious history is at least on the record.

It's one thing for a little blog to have little effect on a fairly blue district in MN, but they're reporting what will be needed should he actually rise to prominence in the Democratic Party.
They're doing the opposition research.
It could have the effect of being ignored long enough to put Ellison in a leadership position but being available enough so that he's undercut in terms of effectiveness.

"As a protest against Trump removing protections for trans kids, everyone should use the opposite gender's bathroom today! #protecttranskids"
(Can't quite figure out how to paste just that one tweet, but you should be able to find it if you google him or look for JB Pritzker's Twitter feed.)
I doubt anyone will take him up on his suggestion, but I almost wish someone would as it would only serve to prove exactly the point that us normal folk are trying to make about transgender bathroom mandates, which is how easily they can (and will) be abused. #thisishowyougetmoreTrump

===================
It's the one show that understood basic storytelling the best.
Plus, with the advent of the Roddenberry Rule at the start of TNG that said that citizens of the federation weren't allowed to have conflict between each other, a lot of the drama in each series ended up hanging on guest stars instead of the main characters. DS9 went around that by filling the cast with non-Federation characters (from Bajor, Odo, and Cardassians) that allowed for a lot of basic drama that was missing from literally every other show save TOS.

One emblematic problem with Enterprise is T'Pol. She's an attractive woman who was obviously brought on to sex up the show, but she's flat, uninteresting, and asexual.
"We need a Vulcan! And a sexy woman! Let's combine them! It's gold!"
There are many other problems with the show conceptually (Seriously? They went with time travel in their FIRST EPISODE?!?!?!), but I think T'Pol is a good example.

I had already seen all of TNG through syndication, so I started with DS9 a couple of years ago. Got through that, watched Voyager, TOS, Enterprise, and The Animated Series.
Best series is probably DS9.
Best single episode is in TNG (The Inner Light).
Best season is season 5 of Voyager.
Worst overall series is Enterprise (although it's not really bad, just very poorly conceived).
Posted by: TheJamesMadison at February 23, 2017 11:31 AM (vur0q)
DS9 was killer. Sisko didn't take any shit. There were really good character bonds.
Enterprise was doomed the minute you heard the gay singing over acoustic music. A linguistics chick who didn't want to be there. A captain who mulled over every fucking decision and then checked with his Vulcan handlers in the end anyway. Then you had a ship that wasn't quite armed enough to win, and not quite fast enough to escape. A security dude with daddy issues. Trip was the only normal one. The first warp 5 ship loaded NOT with type A personalities, but a bunch of dysfunctional rejects.

Both could be made habitable, given the will to do it, and enough cheap energy.
Mars; pelt it with redirected icy comets, or chunks of ice filched from Saturn's rings. Get enough water on it, and the water vapor alone will thicken the atmosphere, and help warm it up. Clearly, Mars did have liquid water at one time.
Venus; maybe a metric fuckton of big-ass hydrogen bombs to blast most of its atmosphere off into space, or perhaps chemical reduction plants, floating on ballons, that use solar energy to dissociate CO2 into elemental carbon and oxygen?

=======================
If I had been in the writer's room at the beginning of Enterprise, I would have pitched it this way:
Instead of Vulcans holding humans back by not giving warp technology, they're sabotaging human progress because we're going too fast for them. We would have reached warp 7 by the start of the show, but Vulcans have been doing things to actively undermine the progress for decades (without human knowledge, of course). Vulcans are getting desperate to keep us from going too far, so they decide that they're going to fake an explosion in the new Warp 5 engine, but they get caught.
Humanity is outraged. Archer is outraged. So outraged that instead of insisting on not taking up Enterprise as his next command because he's really a test pilot at heart and wants to test the next Warp 6 engine, as a giant Fuck You, he pushed Enterprise out of space dock as early as possible and shoots off into space.
The show would then have a captain who realizes that he doesn't want to do what he's doing after a few episodes, but he can't back down from it, so he pursues his mission aggressively.
I'd also cut down on the alien contact. Space seems really crowded on that show.

I believe the current media blitz attempting to smear Trump as an anti-semite is related to Ellison's strong showing in the DNC race. It's a calculated deflection from the fact that the Dems are seriously considering a known "anti-Zionist" (*wink*wink*) for the chairmanship.
There is no other explanation for this particular line of defamation against Trump. The charge is too ridiculous --- and yet they are running with it. WHY?

Trip was cool. The doctor was cool. Shran was cool. The set design - exposed pipes and conduits and wires like a contemporary ship - made it accessible and recognizable as a prototype ship, like something NASA might build in 80 years or something.
But you're right about the rest of the characters. The weapons officer was a complete whiny sad sack, the interpreter was more of a grad student than an officer, the Captain and the Vulcan minder were utterly forgettable, and the helmsman is either a horrible actor or was struggling to make a really awful script believable.

TNG was actually pretty good, BUT it really started pushing social messages too much. It became a bunch of boring diplomats cruising around space in their living room. I remember times where months would go by without seeing a single photon torpedo. there were some really good episodes, but there were many times where I would yell at the screen KIRK WOULD HAVE FIRED BY NOW!!
personally, Babylon 5 kills everything. That show was probably the most on target as to where humanity would be in 2258 if someone gave us the tech to travel space. None of the lofty TNG shit.

It was Jeri Taylor for the first 3 seasons.
She was the worst.
It got so much better when Braga turned up and righted the ship.

I'm starting to think more and more it's just going to have a few modest reforms but it's going to be with us forever.
Once you threw tens of millions on a new entitlement, it seems no politician ever has the balls to throw people off of it.
So Democrats that will never vote Republican will get to keep their free health insurance while the people that put Trump in office suffer.

Listening to radio Hannity yesterday afternoon.
Hannity interviews Paul Ryan. Ryan says there is a consensus plan RE: Obamacare and it's going to be put through. Fast. All is well.
Next Hannity guests: Two congressmen from the Freedom Caucus. RE: Obamcare? WTF is Ryan talking about? We've seen no bill. We've seen no text. NOTHING. NOTHING has come to us to see.
Hannity: So Ryan is lying?
Congressmen: Ryan is not not lying.

They addressed that in Enterprise, actually. It was a 3 parter in the 4th season.

I really do think there are two people who post as Ace.
The female does the Gainzz threads and actually owns the blog.
The male has been to events and gotten the blog awards. I suspect he does the really long movie reviews.
Not sure about the ages, but neither one is 29, since the blog started in 2004.

Mars; pelt it with redirected icy comets, or chunks of ice filched from Saturn's rings. Get enough water on it, and the water vapor alone will thicken the atmosphere, and help warm it up. Clearly, Mars did have liquid water at one time.
Venus; maybe a metric fuckton of big-ass hydrogen bombs to blast most of its atmosphere off into space, or perhaps chemical reduction plants, floating on ballons, that use solar energy to dissociate CO2 into elemental carbon and oxygen?

You have a certain Edward Teller ('father' of H bomb, for those that don't recognize the name) quality about you.
He could always come up with some wild ideas, that *could* possibly work. He never lacked for imagination.
Back when 'global cooling' was the nightmare issue of the day he proposed a system of giant space mirrors, constantly shining on the planet.

LOL.
I always thought Klingons were "black" although I never realized they were played by black actors.
Last night, on the original series, there was a white Klingon in a bit role.

yeah that warp 5 ban was theee most stupidest thing to ever infect star trek. Whoever came out with that should have had their ass removed. That was just more of the bullshit social messages that plagued TNG.

Well they're not all played by black actors. Gowron was a white guy. Martok is a white guy. The guy that played Kang is Syrian born. Also Christopher Lloyd played a Klingon.

Babylon 5 is the series any star trek fan needs to see. Seriously, you
owe it to yourself. That show was theee shit. Even the chicks on the
show had bigger balls than picard.

I've definitely looked into it, but it's not available on any streaming service. Ease is a factor.
I'll get to it, though. I'm tired from all the Star Trek.
I'm gonna read for a few months now.

Campbell who played Trelaine also played the main Klingon in The Trouble With Tribbles I think

It was a wimp free zone. It ran 5 seasons and the entire series was pretty much written before it aired, so it stayed on target. It seriously fired on all cylinders. It was dark, it had its comedy, it had great characters.

But you have to give him credit for the Reid Alerts. Lasted all the way through the other series.

And all three reprised their roles in DS9 with full Klingon makeup. Colicos had multiple recurring appearances afterwards.

The large tree in the middle is probably a red oak. Those are possibly walnuts over there on the left. He has one tree coming out of the margin of a pond in a way I mistrust though. That just doesn't look right. I'll complain to the appropriate authorities.
A cabin would look good over there on the left. Cabins are always nice.
