2024-08-26 at 1:30 PM UTC in Americas Best RestaurantsSo yesterday I was contacted by a lady who works for the producer of the Food Networks Americas Best Restaurants. They feel my restaurant might be a good fit for their program. She is going to call me tomorrow to discuss setting up a zoom meeting between myself and the producers to see if they want to feature us!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81ngel_arcabucero
An Ángel arcabucero (arquebusier angel) is an angel depicted with an arquebus (an early muzzle-loaded firearm) instead of the sword traditional for martial angels, dressed in clothing inspired by that of the Criollo and Andean nobles and aristocrats.[1] The style arose in Peru in the second half of 17th century[1] and was especially prevalent in the Cusco School.
In his work Ángeles apócrifos de la América Virreinal (1992), Ramón Mujica Pinilla noted the link between ángeles arcabuceros and certain winged warriors from the pre-Hispanic pantheon. The good reception that these works found among indigenous people of the era may be due in part to the ease with which they could identify these winged warriors with their ancient gods and heroes. According to Kelly Donahue-Wallace, the genre probably originated in the Collao region, near Lake Titicaca, and were actually based on Spanish and Dutch engravings.[2] Some of these European prints depicted apocryphal archangels, condemned by the Church, but apocryphal motifs survived in the Andes.[2] Another probable source for the angels' poses, corresponding to the military exercises of the period, were the engravings from the 1607 Exercise in Arms by Jacob de Gheyn II.[3]
Church of Calamarca, about 60 km from La Paz, Bolivia, contains the most complete existing series of ángeles arcabuceros, including the Asiel Timor Dei by Master of Calamarca (around 1680),[2] that are considered notable examples of the type.[3]
At the beginning of the 18th century, the demand for paintings from all corners of the Viceroyalty grew rapidly. Hundreds of Cusqueño paintings, many of which depicted ángeles arcabuceros, were shipped to Lima, Upper Peru (Bolivia), Chile, and northern Argentina. To satisfy this demand, large artistic workshops, mostly indigenous, were established.
Today, Cusco School's colonial paintings of ángeles arcabuceros are found in, notably in the Church of Calamarca (Bolivia), many cities of Peru, Bolivia, northern Argentina, churches and museums in Mexico, in various museums in Spain and in the New Orleans Museum of Art. There is also a collection of ten ángeles arcabuceros in the San Francisco de Padua Church in Uquía, located in Argentina's Quebrada de Humahuaca.[4]
There is also a preserved series of beautiful very ornate and polychromed ángeles arcabuceros sculptures made in the 17th-century Potosí, plundered and now located in the Peyton Wright Gallery (New Mexico, USA).[4]

2024-08-26 at 8:23 AM UTC in Meal subscription servicesPaying a premium for the delivery of hyper-specific quantities of groceries that will just barely cover ~70% of your dinners in a given week seems really silly to me, so I've never tried it. I've been tempted to try them out, but every time I think about it... like... if I'm going to pay a premium to have meals delivered, we might as well go the extra mile and have a restaurant cook it too. Y'know? Hire a private taxi for your burrito.
That said, I remember seeing someone talking about how they'd order catering from Chipotle for their weekly meal prep, and the math worked out really nicely. Seemed like a way smarter move than having some company ship you one meal's worth of cabbage or whatever, or hiring a taxi to drive dinner to you. May be worth considering once your trial period ends. 🤔 -

Originally posted by Dirtbag I want something similar to the third one. It's because it's technically a 6-pointed star that I don't want it. I like the chain and that it could be a heavy weight but would prefer a shield pendant.
that's an 8 point star not 6. A 6 point would be two triangles where the 8 point stars are quadrilateral layeredThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2024-08-22 at 7:20 AM UTC in American ruling party remove third party candidates from Pennsylvania ballot
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania Democrats have won legal challenges keeping the left-wing Party for Socialism and Liberation off the battleground state’s presidential ballot, at least for now, while a lawyer with deep Republican Party ties is working to help independent candidate Cornel West get on it.
https://apnews.com/article/pennsylvania-ballot-2024-west-kennedy-cc5507101bcd198028b04945d2d03aa3
The court cases are among a raft of partisan legal maneuvering around third-party candidates seeking to get on Pennsylvania’s ballot, including a pending challenge by Democrats to the filing in Pennsylvania by independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
A Commonwealth Court judge agreed with two Democratic Party-aligned challenges on Tuesday, ruling that the paperwork filed by the Party for Socialism and Liberation was fatally flawed and ordering the party’s presidential candidate, Claudia De la Cruz, off Pennsylvania’s Nov. 5 ballot.
Seven of the party’s 19 presidential electors named in the paperwork were registered as Democrats and thus violated a political disaffiliation provision in the law, Judge Bonnie Brigance Leadbetter wrote. Six voted in the Democratic Party’s primary on April 23.
“They literally voted in the Democratic primary and then turned around to try to be electors for a third-party candidate,” said Adam Bonin, a Democratic Party-aligned lawyer who filed one of the challenges. “You can’t do that.”
The Party for Socialism and Liberation said it will appeal and, in a statement, accused Democrats and allies of “looking for any and every bureaucratic technicality conceivable that can be used to ban their opponents from competing.”
America has one ruling party, the Democrats, with the Republicans allowed to hang around as a boogeyman for fundraising, scapegoating and plausible deniability purposes. Whenever the Republicans accidentally win power, like in 2017, when they had all three branches of the government, they are lost. They don't want to enact any new laws or repeal any old ones, so all they do is give a big tax cut to the rich and play golf for a few months until the Democrats take control again and resume their radical racialist agenda.
And that's the game. That's American democracy. It really is that simple. -
