After the death of a family member, I fould a painting deep inside of a closet. It is of Countess Spencer by Sir Joshua Reynolds. It has an original signature which I have been told by an art dealer, looks authenic. It looks like pencil and is signed Sir Joshua Reynolds. It looks to be a litheograph but is hard to tell because it is very old. I have been told by someone who restores paintings that it is well over 100 years old. Please let me know what you think. Thank you.

You never hear about klan activity in the south anymore .its all in the north or midwest or california.
And Yes this is a fact.theirs more klan somewhere other then the south.so why do people always think all klan activity is in the south?

Yes it started after the war so as to get rid of Yankee carpetbaggers and Yankees who controled our state governments .which cleansed the south of Yankee influince after a while ,which was a blessing to the Southern people.The original klan was not a racist organization at all. when they did get violent the leaders quit.

During the war over a 1000 black people were lynched and murdered in N.Y.C. alone,how many were killed by white northerners is probubly in the tens of 1000s. during that war,how many were killed by Southerners, during the war?I never have heard .

so who is racist? a black man cant walk in a white neighbourhood in the north without getting beat up or murdered to this day, not so in the south.you people dont know your facts

The government said they could prove it, of course they could by spending hundreds of millions of dollars putting research into proving the magic bullet theory and using some fancy physics in a gigantic lab.

What mediums/forms do you like to use the most? Whether it be painting with oils to writing poetry to breakdancing. What is your favourite way to express yourself?

For me, I like to paint with oils. Nothing better than the feeling of applying oil paint onto a surface to create what you're interpreting.

I liked the Five People You Meet in Heaven better. I mean, I was sad at the end of Tuesdays with Morrie but we already knew what was coming so it wasn't like it was a surprise ending. The Five People You Meet In Heaven gave me a feeling of peace at the end.

"Belief is a beautiful armor
But makes for the heaviest sword
Like punching under water
You never can hit who you're trying for

.........
........
.......
.........

Everyone believes
From emptiness to everything
Everyone believes
And no ones going quietly

We're never gonna win the world
We're never gonna stop the war
We're never gonna beat this
If belief is what we're fighting for".

What are your thoughts? I'm just curious on people's thoughts. There are no right answers, and I will not judge you based on your opinion. This is more of an opinionaire, really.

John Mayer, "Belief", from Continuum.
