A young woman taking a bath, assisted by two servants. This is Bathsheba, a legendary beauty. Cornelis van Haarlem painted her in 1594. The story of the fair Bathsheba is told in the biblical Book of Samuel. One evening she was bathing in the garden. King David saw her from the roof of his palace and fell in love with her. All that is visible of the palace here is the contour behind the garden wall. The king is nowhere to be seen. The focus is on the three women in the foreground. The artist used Bathsheba's bath as a theme in which to show various facets of the female nude, monumental and at the same time as natural as possible. http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/aria/aria_ass |

All Sonic... No Boom
All Sonic... No BoomPosted by Gerard at 17:49 on Feb 14th 2007
 Developed under a $25-million contract from Supersonic Aerospace International (SAI), the 12-passenger (+3 crew) QSST would fly at between 47,000 and 57,000 feet with a range of 4,600 miles (approx Chicago to Rome). Designed to fly between Mach 1.6 and 1.8 (which are 1,056 and 1,188 mph), the two-engine gull-wing aircraft would leave a sonic wake that amouts to only one-hundredth of that of the Mach 2–capable Concorde... |

THERE IS A PARTNER!
THERE IS A PARTNER! GUSH SHALOM, the Israeli Peace Bloc, along with peace forces throughout the world, welcomes the Palestinian unity agreement. In this agreement, Hamas undertakes to respect the Oslo accords, which are based on the mutual recognition of the State of Israel and the Palestinian people. The new Palestinian government, which will include all the main political representatives of the Palestinian people, is a credible partner. The agreement was achieved under the auspices of the King of Saudi Arabia, the initiator of the Arab Peace Plan. This plan assures Israel of recognition by the entire Arab world, in return for the withdrawal from the occupied territories and the establishment of the State of Palestine. GUSH SHALOM calls upon the government of Israel to put an end to the blockade on the Palestinian people, and to start practical and speedy negotiations for a peace agreement. Another window of opportunity has been opened. Let us not miss this chance! Gush Shalom * 972-3-5221732 * P.O.Box 3322, Tel-Aviv 61033 * |

a film that put the World Bank and the IMF on trial
Bamako: Danny Glover Produces and Stars in New Film Putting the World Bank and IMF on Trial in AfricaFriday, February 16th, 2007 http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sActor and activist Danny Glover joins us to talk about his new film "Bamako." Set in Mali, the plot revolves around a trial that pits the people of Bamako against the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. We're also joined by Bamako's co-executive producer, Joslyn Barnes. [includes rush transcript - partial]
On Thursday's Democracy Now! we looked at how so-called vulture investors are preying upon African debtor nations. Investigative reporter Greg Palast revealed how several of President Bush's top campaign contributors have profited off this practice. Well, there have been two developments in the past day. In London, a decision has come down in the court case between the African nation Zambia and the investment company Donegal International. A British high court judge ruled yesterday that Zambia must repay millions to the so-called vulture fund. Meanwhile in Washington, Congressman John Conyers, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, met with President Bush yesterday and personally asked him to help end vulture funds. We are joined by the actor and activist Danny Glover and Joslyn Barnes. They are the executive producers of the new movie "Bamako." It is a fictional film set in Mali. The plot revolves around a trial that pits the people of Bamako against the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

DANNY GLOVER: Well, we -- just fascinating how you have an opportunity to work with an extraordinary director like Abderrahmane Sissako. And he approached both Joslyn and I with an idea about making a film that put the World Bank and the IMF on trial, and using the metaphor of the courtyard he grew up in -- in fact, the title of the film was first called “The Court,” the courtyard that he grew up in.

Conyers Confronts Bush and Demands Investigation of Vulture Funds Friday, February 16th, 2007 http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sHouse Judiciary Chair Rep. John Conyers (D - Michigan) joins us from Capitol Hill as the House is poised to pass a non-binding resolution opposing President Bush's escalation of the Iraq war. Conyers calls for a cutoff of appropriations for the war in Iraq, saying "that may be the only way that we're going to end the war." [includes rush transcript - partial]
The House of Representatives is expected to pass a non-binding resolution today opposing President Bush's decision to send more than twenty thousand additional combat troops to Iraq. The House has been debating the resolution since Tuesday. As many as two dozen Republicans are expected to vote with the Democrats in opposing the troop increase. If the resolution passes, it will mark the first time Congress has voted against President Bush's Iraq war policy. Speaker House Nancy Pelosi has also indicated she would back Congressman John Murtha's attempt to rewrite the president's spending request to limit Bush's options in prosecuting the war. This is Democratic Congressman Keith Ellison of Minnesota. He is the first Muslim to be elected to Congress.

ASTROLABE: Astrology Software, Reports, Books and Services
ASTROLABE: Astrology Software, Reports, Books and Services Here is the Astro Chart you requested: Hi there, here is the interpretation of the astrological chart that you asked for. Also attached is a .GIF graphic file which depicts your chart wheel. Thank you for visiting the Astrolabe WEB site at http://alabe.com This report has been created especially for you. It represents your Unique picture at the time you were born and at the place you were born. If you are unsure of the exact time of day of your birth (or the date or the place), the reading will probably not seem as accurate as it could be in certain places, but other parts will seem to be very appropriate. You will notice at certain places in the reading that contradictory information seems to be given. This is to be expected, because the personality of most people is extremely complex. For example, at times we are quite shy and at other times we are very aggressive, and so forth. You will also notice that, at certain points in the reading, certain patterns may be repeated over and over, especially in a longer more detailed report than this one. This is also to be expected. This simply means that your horoscope has an extremely strong focus on this particular pattern and that you should pay extra close attention to what is said about it. Now, on with your Report!  |
