16 Hmmm. I will (later, when it's not cheating) look up whether Cagnaccio is a word. From the inscription at the bottom right it looks to me like that should be the artist's name and something di San Pietro would be the title.

The date is there. The whole thing looks Mexican to me.

They're obviously transfixed by something. I wonder how you say mackerel snapper in Mexican.

I believe they're watching Jim Acosta on CNN. The old woman is taking one knee, which is acceptable because of her age, while the children are showing proper respect.

41 Kallisto, I think this might be the Fatima children. Two girls and a boy. Not sure who the old lady is supposed to be. I'll have to see when this was painted. I wonder if she's supposed to be the last remaining girl who died not too many years ago - she lived to be pretty old.

42 The URL says that the title is "La Rosa del Mare", The Rose of the Sea. The presence of the rosary, the title, and the body language of the children would suggest a vision of Mary, as someone said above.

This is how you control your unruly children. You conjure up an apparition, a vision of an Angle, that enchants your children into obedience. That is why the woman is looking down and the young people are looking up.

Yep, I just clicked to embiggen and saw the same thing. Painted in 1935 though, so there goes my theory about who the old woman is.

Maybe it's not supposed to represent Fatima after all, but definitely a vision of Our Lady.

55 Bluebell, that was my thought too - these are the three children of Fatima. Two of them died young; the older girl (Lucia) became a nun and lived to a very old age.
Don't know who the old lady is, though.

Mary's symbol is the rose (and one of her titles is "Mystical Rose"). You can go to almost any beach town and if there is a Catholic church the odds are good that it will be named Our Lady of the Sea, or Our Lady, Star of the Sea (Stella Maris).

109 Here is my own post mortem on the 2018 campaign.

But for the Herculean effforts of Donald Trump, the GOP would have been wiped out as they offfered no coherent message or reason to vote for the party other than tax cuts, which were passed a year ago and are no longer resident in peoples minds and that the Democrat party is unhinged.

I know I have harped on the Jay Webber campaign an I will use his campaign to show how unfocused and undisciplined the general GOP message was this campaign...

My main modes of media consumption are youtube and watching Jeopardy, I have been watching Jeopardy religiously for going on 30 years.

I saw the following Jay Webber ads once each in a 5 month span....

https://tinyurl.com/y8znmofd

https://tinyurl.com/y867wlju

Jay Webber sent very few mailers and the mailers he did send were as ridiculous as the two ads that I linked.

His opponent, Rebbecca Michelle "Mike" Sherril ran numerous ads that appeared each and every commercial break, these are the three ads I saw the most during the same 5 month span, I probably saw these ads 100's of times, compare and contrast...

https://tinyurl.com/yc9qhkfo

https://tinyurl.com/ya98sueo

https://tinyurl.com/ydcfk22r

Jay Webber's big spend seems to have been on signs which littered the highway and nothing else..

If anything the signs served to be markers to give drivers the opportunity to say, hey there's that asshole Jay Webber.

From field reports from others it would seem that the GOP chose to spend their money on consultants and not much else.

Now they have been wiped out in NY, NJ, California and much of the NE in the house.

They have literally squandered a once in a lifetime opportunity to advance a muscular conservative agenda while having probably the most conservative President in our lifetime in the oval office.

The GOP is an ideologically confused, undisciplined, unorganized, unprincipled and illigitimate politcal party and all that entails.

And the sad thing is we will more than likely not be able to vote our way out of our predicament and the GOP will have squandered their 24 years in power.

Sad.

110 Mary's symbol is the rose (and one of her titles is "Mystical Rose"). You can go to almost any beach town and if there is a Catholic church the odds are good that it will be named Our Lady of the Sea, or Our Lady, Star of the Sea (Stella Maris).

I've never heard Rose of the Sea, but why not?

Iconography is one of my favorite parts of art history. It's interesting how symbols develop and evolve, and how their meanings differ from one culture to the next. The MOST interesting, though, are the common symbols/themes shared by vastly different cultures that have very similar meanings. It's like humans are similar wherever you go, or something.

I assume the NoVa HQ is so they can be close to Congress to lobby for all the exemptions/pork/special favors/sweetheart deals they think they need. In a way it's sad that clearly, Amazon feels they need a presence in the capitol.

The only upside is they are bringing liberal voters into already liberal states, so they won't be turning any red states purple.

191 A friend of mine told me a story, probably not true, of a young black woman giving birth at the hospital, but still not sure what she was going to name her baby. Just after the delivery, she heard the doctor say something that sounded really nice, so she named her new daughter that. Her baby's name was Placenta
Posted by: josephistan at November 13, 2018 10:16 AM (7HtZB)

I've heard anecdotes like that.

I always thought they were probably untrue until I worked with a girl named "Lazayna."

Yes, her mom was eating lasagna when she went in to labor. At least that was the story Lazayna told me.

I never asked about the spelling.

216 Whazzap roonz and roonettez?

Several years ago a Moron made a gun belt for me and I can't for the life of me remember who it was. The reason I mention it is that I have had to drill another hole in the belt and I'm thinking I just might want to get another one made.

The good thing is I'm drilling holes to make it smaller, not larger. The last time I went to the doc at the end of August there was a lot of concern about my A1C (7.1) and she put me on a low carb diet. I've been trying to keep to about 25g per meal/75g per day and so far I'm doing pretty well keeping within those limits.

Since that time I've dropped 35 pounds without even trying. That's better than I've done when on a dedicated trying-to-lose-weight diet, so I'm wondering just how low I'm going to get this time.

I have FiOS. When I signed up for it, it was for the TV and the Internet. A tech had to come to my house and I was given the predictable "he'll be there a week from Wednesday between 9 am and 2 pm." Thanks!

So a couple of years ago I decided to cut the TV cord and cancelled the TV service. While I was on the phone I was told that I needed to return the set top box RIGHT AWAY otherwise I would be charged a few hundred bucks for the cost of the box. I said "Well, the next available opening I have is two weeks from Friday, between 11 am and 4 pm."

Lucky you. The area I live in was red when I was growing up, but long since turned blue. It will never go back, I'm afraid, especially now that Amazon is coming here.

Thanksgiving is here, of course! So far only 12 people, so fingers crossed that that's it. It won't be, of course - we always have last minute additions, which really is fine. We take in all wayward souls and holiday orphans. But more than 12 means we have to eat in two rooms, not the end of the world either.

You're a Southeast LA guy IIRC. Not disagreeing that the ugly ones tend to congregate at Walmart but it's my experience you will also notice two or three very pretty employees in those Louisiana/ Mississippi Walmart's. And House of Waffles , etc.

352 And here i thought Furries were just people who like to have sex while in animal costumes

I believe there must be a spectrum to Furry behavior. The only time I've encountered them in a while was at a bowling alley. They took up four lanes.

I was told it's a monthly event. They furry up and go bowling, which is pretty innocent.

359 When I was on a visit with INPO in Atlanta we had some guys who had come in from some large city in the NE, I forget where. But we went out one afternoon and hit some places and one guy from the NE remarked on how good looking all the women were and how all of them were all dressed up with none in hair curlers. I laughed, I told him no real Southern woman would go downtown in hair curlers and shabby cloths.

360 they have an option now, "track your delivery" that shows where the
truck is on the day the order is on the truck. I checked it once and it
looked like it was right on my lane. I went out and sure enough, it was
coming down my lane.

Unfortunately I was in error when I said "UPS". What I really meant was "FedEx" and their website tells me only that it is on the truck and will be here sometime before 8 PM.

The Trump administration did not revoke Jim Acosta's press pass, they revoked his day pass to enter the White House.

Jim Accosta is free to do his "reporting" anywhere he likes except from inside the White House.

But apparently Republicans do not have the ability to limit who can and cannot enter the White House.

369 just a reminder ... three whistle blowers died in Broward County and a federal prosecutor. He (who committed suicide, no gun found) was working on the visa and passport fraud cases in DWS's area ... shot himself in the head without a gun ... or something.

could be that opposing the Mueller/Hilda/Soros? machine can mean a quick suicide, or prison (after expensive defense bankrupts you) for lying to Mueller about what you had for lunch 20 years ago.

It strikes me as not unlikely that he might have actually used a chair in sunlight as a model. If that were the case, then the shadow would shift over time, that would explain the shadow shift.

371 Professor Jacobson is asking today, "Why did Martha McSally receive 200,000 fewer votes than did Ducey or 60,000 fewer votes than did the AG candidate, with most of the difference in Maricopa County?

The answer is, of course, that McSally was a lousy candidate. The losing Democrat in the state AG race received nearly as many votes in Maricopa as McSally. Sinema, by contrast, got 48,000 more votes than McSally in the county, which was her entire victory margin.

372 We should all file suit about being denied access to the WH press room. After all, if it's a "right," why not?

Or, if its a "right" that mysteriously can only be exercised by professionally paid chatterers, Ace should file suit.

Oh, wait. Perhaps it's a "right" only for corporations, a "right" suddenly claimed by people who have been blasting the very idea of corporations having rights!

Okay, let the Podunk Neighborhood Times (circulation 500) in my county sue for the "right" to be there.

What? Is it only a "right" for big, fat corporations?

It always amuses me (maybe "amuses" isn't the right word, but it's more polite) how a citizen of the US has no standing in federal court but somehow a judge in Hawaii has jurisdiction over something that happened half the world away.

That's not what happened. McSally was a lousy candidate and got fewer votes than other Republicans, meaning her opponent did better than other Democrats (and not that fewer votes overall were cast).

"Wrong, buffalo wing breath."
That nonna spent a lifetime pruning olive trees and grapevines. She likely assisted in laying fieldstone for her house foundation and carried firewood to and fro countless times. She may have even split a few logs. She cooked on a fireplace hearth, all her cookware was cast iron that she may have needed to fling at the husband a time or two. And she never got a manicure, not even once.
I can see why people associate the people with soviet art. However, Italian peasantry attire was not limited to that OD shade the woman with the scarf wears.

Got the shadows right. Why are they all looking up in wonder, why she is looking down?

Maybe I can find all these answers. Maybe it is a specific genre of painting.

But right now I'm more concerned my coffee warmer broke. First it melted part of my TV Remote though (last night).
