Yes, it's schmaltzy and designed to tug on your heart strings, but it is also sweet and well painted.

6 The original painting made its first appearance at an art exhibition in Venice in 1897.[5] John George Alexander Leishman, steel millionaire and diplomat, who died in 1924 in France,[6] bought the painting but not the reproduction rights; he is the last known owner. It is possible that the image entered a private art collection in Pennsylvania in the 1950s,[7] but the current location of the original is unknown.

26 Heart strings? I guess if you consider tugging on them a feeling of warmth, love and happiness, sure.

Where the mother does have a slight look of despair on her face, you can see the love she has for her child and will do what she has to for it.

It warms the soul, it does.

45 Interestingly, the URL of the picture calls this work "The Madonna of the Streets." I don't think this is supposed to be Mary. I think it's supposed to invoke feelings about Mary when looking at this young mother--the teenaged, homeless mother, the purity of motherhood, the innocent, beautiful child.

Likely not at the time. Later, yes.

"Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end."

Not going to be too nice in 33 years either.

There's a serious poem by Dorothy Parker which takes the view that Mary *knew* Jesus' eventual fate on the cross, or at least saw it in dreams, and that each year was one less she would have with Him. I don't know if that's part of Scripture, or just DP's conceit for a poem, but it is effective.

95 Democrats Protecting Democracy (Yeah, sure)

The lawsuit accuses Fontes of violating state laws when accepting signature petitions from No Labels to receive access to the ballot, according to the Washington Post. Democratic officials claim the accompanying affidavits were signed and approved before the minimum number of petitions were gathered.

As a result, the party leaders argue the affidavits that verified the signatures are false and should be nullified, the lawsuit states…

Members of the No Labels movement pushed back against those allegations, arguing the lawsuit was being used as a political tactic to suppress third-party voices.

“This undemocratic and unscrupulous lawsuit is a disgrace,” Ryan Clancy, chief strategist for No Labels, said in a statement. “Next time you hear this crowd talking about protecting democracy, remember what they are really doing is protecting their turf.”

99 Not the typical Madonna-type image: no stale, not halo, no holy drama. But if yesterday's painting showed a moment of playfulness that could apply to any family group with toddlers, this is a quiet, peaceful moment that could apply to any young woman with her baby. It brings out the human aspect of the holy birth.

I like the way the background is indistinct and there is nothing in the foreground. The viewer is left to focus on the figures and the emotional aspects of the image. Very effective.

Well, gauze is supposedly so named for being originally manufactured in Gaza, which would follow your theory, but I'm not sure when it was developed.

Both Israel and France used mainly linen and wool, with silk for those who could get it. I've never seen any research on the fabric density that was in common use in either place.

And Cornwall claims that Joseph of Arimathea brought a young Jesus there on a business trip trading for tin. I understand wanting to create a sense of historical connectedness, but I suspect encouraging extra-biblical association is a bad idea since it creates the opportunity for opponents to call *everything* a myth.

143 working on a FWP today. 2015 Charger has an SD card slot for playing media. I have about 4K music files spread across maybe 800 folders and 470 playlists. Stupid car's operating system is so primitive it cannot handle file strings longer than 256 characters, no spaces, no special characters other than a period and a forward slash.

Now I'm copying all of my media into a sandbox so I don't eff it up, then working on a simple script to parse through the folders, find and remove anything the car's OS doesn't like, then remove it, pass the new string to the function that does the same thing to the playlists.

190 6 The original painting made its first appearance at an art exhibition in Venice in 1897.[5] John George Alexander Leishman, steel millionaire and diplomat, who died in 1924 in France,[6] bought the painting but not the reproduction rights; he is the last known owner. It is possible that the image entered a private art collection in Pennsylvania in the 1950s,[7] but the current location of the original is unknown.

Which means there is precedent for every AG in the country to arrest Clinton, Obama, or even Biden.

199 187 "Effective immediately, New York State Police will not include mugshots in press releases, and they will not be provided to media when requested. This is due to the new State Law that effectively bans the release of booking photos. NYSP will be able to release mugshots for specific law enforcement purposes only. One example would be if we were searching for a wanted or missing person, of which we have a booking photo from a previous arrest," a statement from the New York State Police said.

203 Stumbled into a very good movie last night: Old Henry. I liked it for a number of reasons but the first was the texture of the piece - it looked like Winslow Homer paintings everywhere. It also had the feel of Cohn Brothers movie. Finally, it had the feel of a Sam Peckinpah western. The lead was Tim Blake Nelson - O Brother, Where Art Thou and The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. He is a very homely looking actor which is great for westerns. The plot is that he is a farmer with a son who takes in a wounded train robber. As we find out, he is actually Billy the Kid who is worried his son will be like him. Nice story line and is flies like a train full out on tracks - much like True Grit. Highly recommend it to the morons.

The takeaway is that other countries don't see Chinese corruption as fundamentally any worse then American corruption now.

Though the fascinating thing with Brazil is that the US just ran a color revolution on them and stole the election for the current dictator....and immediately he turned to China.

That also tells you that even the people the US installs see China as the boss of the US...

In the sense that the prophets spelled it out, yes. She knew that something bad was going to happen.

Old Simeon told her ...And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts, thoughts may be revealed.

Tradition is that she was raised in the temple, consecrated to the service of the one God. She would have been familiar with the writings. When Jesus was older, I imagine there were some conversations.

Old priest said one time - that Lady was made of iron - I didn't get it at the time. But she was tough, had tremendous faith in God.

==
Well, its possible but we don't know. I will say that it was not uncommon for a businessman to travel with a companion for safety reasons. Some times goods were shipped and sold on consignment and then the money had to travel back to the supplier. Sometimes the supplier fetched it sometimes the seller sent back the money. It was hand carried. So usually the courier had a companion for security. If you read the book of Tobit (tobias) He had to travel to a distant town to collect money owed him on sale of goods, but couldn't travel because he had gone blind. He sent his adult son, but sent him in the company of another man - who turned out to be the angel Raphael. Its an interesting book. Luther didn't like it because he though the part about the demon was a bit witch crafty. Angel told him to burn a fish liver to drive the demon away.
