(RCSD) Art query. by Rod
On Titian's "Venus of Urbino", any attempt at appreciating Venus, is interupted by the enterprise in the background. A young girl looking in a toybox? Maid rolling up her sleeves? Anyone know the story behind the painting? http://cjoint.com/data/iroqk1akiD.htm

G'day Ralphael, it occurred to me the other day, perhaps you are still using Google to read Newsgroups. If that is the case, here is a free Newsgroup Reader that can make the experience a whole lot more enjoyable. (We thank the Germans)

(RCSD) Austria/Hong Kong by Ralphael1
I have just bought the 2006 Hong Kong souvenir sheet with the Swarovski crystals and thought I might have a problem mounting itr because of the thickness of the cardboard protector. Ingenuity kicked in and I put the sheet in a glassine page protector, cut one inch larger than the sheet. Now it fits...

http://cjoint.com/data/gzjd6tR6q8.htm (366K) Scott QI3. 2007 CV $8.50 for stamp alone; complete booklet not valued. We're not talking Warren Buffet, but it's still not a bad return on a $0.40 investment in 1977 (10% annually). I'll pick the best out for my booklet album. The scan with the...

(RCSD) beef rib eye by rodney
Time to broadcast my ignorance. I am not much of a carnivore, we had a kids sleep over last evening and I made a comment at dinner the steak was particularly mouth watering. My wife explained it was "Scotch Fillet" and the kids wanted to know where on the beast it came from. Wikipedia is not...

(RCSD) Book suggestion by Joshua McGee[_3_]
This may be in all of your libraries already, but I would like to recommend Kenneth Wood's 1982 three-volume set called "This Is Philately". It is an extraordinary reference for the meanings of foreign words, aspects of our hobby, and information about different nations. It also provides a...
