The presence of thermite or any explosive found in the debris is important, but it is too late for that recovery effort. As you know we determine the type and origin of explosives used by carefully examining the remains of a bomb blast. That type of analysis is too late. So when you and Liberty dwell on whether thermite explodes or burns like a torch it is unimportant in my opinion. To say the explosions in building 7 must have been from thermite is s stretch. Why couldnt it have been from typical explosives?
Very high temps were reached and continued to burn in the debris field for days or weeks. Yet most experts say the bulk of the jet fuel was burnt upon the initial explosion. Was there really enough left to bring down a building that size in less than an hour? If so, it should be repeatable or predictable through testing. To date I have not seen that done.
As for the label Truthers you keep using shows you follow a group-think mindset. Anyone who uses a label like that does so to put all opposing views in one convenient box. But I would suggest that if you label people like that you should do your homework first. Never hearing about the dancing Israelis that were seen celebrating during the first attack shows deplorable interest in the topic. Not knowing pieces of the Pennsylvania flight were found miles away from the crash site is inexcusable. I suggest you know far less about what the Truthers are proposing than you let on. You have a few other guys on this site that support your ridiculing but seem to be just as ignorant about the Truthers position. You all come from a position that a conspiracy is so improbable that it shouldnt even be looked into.
I could supply links but you would undoubtedly criticize those sources, so research it for yourself. Or you could just keep sweeping with your broad brush.
Btw another curious event the NTSBs account of the flight path of Flight 77 that hit the Pentagon was a lie. It did not come from the angle they claim as witnessed by at least ten people on the ground that were directly flown over by that plane. Why the lie? Why the confiscation of video outside the pentagon?
Why is it that to some it stinks, and to others it smells like roses?

Review: GL Golf by Nuclear Nova Software
Company: Nuclear Nova Software
Website: www.nuclearnova.com
Title: GL Golf
Price: $8
Compatible: iPhones, iPod touches
This review originally appeared within iLounge's iOS Gems series within the compilation article, iPhone Gems: Sports Games - Soccer, Golf, Air Hockey, Tennis + More. Additional details may be found in the original article.
The single biggest challenge in rating golf games for the iPhone OS is that we've played dozens of golf titles over the years and therefore have a good sense of what Apple's devices are capable of doing, yet nothing we've seen comes close quite yet, or sells at the right price for what it offers.
GL Golf ($8) by Nuclear Nova Software comes closest to earning our recommendation. It offers five different golf courses, each with 18 holes, attempts to vaguely simulate both seasons and time-of-day, and features 3-D camera motion that tracks the ball as it moves closer to the hole. You can play alone, or with up to four total players.
By comparison with most golf games released for consoles and handhelds over the last few years, there's nothing sexy about GL Golf: the textures are mediocre, objects such as trees look completely fake, and the complete absence of pizzazz is more akin to a 1990s PC golf simulator than a modern Sony or Nintendo rendition—fun or realistic—of the sport. But the number of courses is a major plus, and the ability to pick clubs, adjust for wind conditions, and use sliders to tweak the ball's trajectory and spin, makes this more realistic and deep than the Click Wheel iPod Mini Golf game… and a little more fun. With a better on-screen and control interface, some small graphical tweaks, and a slightly lower price, GL Golf could be a great golf title; as-is, it has the maps and the content, but not the fun factor to keep our attention. iLounge Rating: C+.
Editors' Note: iLounge only reviews products in "final" form, but many companies now change their offerings - sometimes several times - after our reviews have been published. This iLounge article provides more information on this practice, known as revving. |

But is his kind of love—"a resolute march to the future, well planned and equipped and unhindered by doubt"—enough?
Unfortunately, the rest of us often march blithely on, continuing to drink at an unhindered pace.

Old English hindrian "to harm, injure, impair, check, repress," from Proto-Germanic *hinderojanan (cf. Old Norse hindra, Dutch hinderen, Old High German hintaron, German hindern "to keep back"), from a root meaning "on that side of, behind" (cf. hind (adj.)); thus the ground sense is "to put or keep back," though this sense in English is recorded only from late 14c. Related: Hindered; hindering.
"situated in the rear, toward the back," late 14c., probably from Old English hinder (adv.) "behind, back, afterward," but treated as a comparative of hind (adj.). Related to Old High German hintar, German hinter, Gothic hindar "behind." Middle English had hinderhede, literally "hinder-hood; posterity in time, inferiority in rank;" and hinderling "person fallen from moral or social respectability, wretch."

5-HMF Production in Piperylene Sulfone: A Bifunctional Solvent for Reaction and Separation
- Type: Conference Presentation
- Conference Type:
AIChE Annual Meeting
- Presentation Date:
October 31, 2012
- Duration:
30 minutes
- Skill Level:
- PDHs:
To address the difficulties associated with separating HMF from DMSO, we use piperylene sulfone, a solvent with very similar solvatochromic properties to DMSO. These similarities make piperylene sulfone a viable replacement as reaction medium. Piperylene sulfone is formed through a reverse cheletropic reaction between sulfur dioxide and 1,3-trans-piperylene. Superiorly to DMSO, piperylene sulfone can be decomposed to sulfur dioxide and piperylene at temperatures of ~110C which allows for facile separation of reaction products. The off-gassed sulfur dioxide and trans-piperylene can be re-reacted elsewhere to reform the piperylene sulfone, enabling recyclability.
We demonstrate a combined reaction separation system composed of fructose in piperylene sulfone with Amberlyst-15 as catalyst. We will present the results of a statistical design of experiments conducted to optimize conversion of HMF as well as the separation of HMF from piperylene sulfone. We shall also present opportunities for future research using this solvent system.

Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke has canceled a scheduled trip to Japan, saying he has too much on his plate at home.
"My time is best spent here in the city working," Winnecke said Wednesday.
The mayor was to leave Thursday and join an Indiana delegation led by Gov. Mike Pence on a nine-day economic development trip funded by donations to the Indiana Economic Development Corp.
Winnecke said ongoing discussions regarding Evansville's Downtown convention hotel project are the main reason he's staying home. A City Council vote on public financing for the development is scheduled Monday.
In Winnecke's absence, Greg Wathen, president of the Southwest Indiana Economic Development Coalition, will be the de facto leader of the local delegation joining Pence on the trip.
Wathen said Winnecke told him Tuesday of his decision to remain in Evansville.
"He felt bad about it … He didn't make the decision lightly, but given everything, it was probably the right decision," Wathen said.
Others from the region on the trip include Old National Bank Vice President and Chief Legal Counsel Jeff Knight, Gibson County Economic Corp. President Todd Mosby and Mark Sebree, director of economic development for Vectren Corp.
Wathen said the group will arrive about 5:30 p.m. Friday, Japan time. Ceremonial gifts will be exchanged on Saturday, and the remainder of the trip will consist mostly of business conferences.
"It's expensive to go, so you want to squeeze in as many meetings as you can," Wathen said.
Winnecke said he notified state officials of his reasons for passing on the trip, and "they understood."

Points per game (allowed):
De La Salle 40.4 (8.5). Westlake 47.6 (14.5).
The first-timer takes on the old grizzled veteran of the CIF Bowl Championships when Westlake takes on De La Salle in the premier game at 8 p.m. Saturday.
De La Salle makes its sixth appearance in six years – no other school has been here more than twice – while Westlake will play on the field of the Home Depot Center for the very first time.
But don't get the idea that Westlake isn't battle tested. Au contraire.
The Warriors come out of one of the toughest leagues in the state, if not the nation, in the Marmonte League, and have tangled with the likes of St. Bonaventure and Oaks Christian – two nationally known programs – along with regional powers Thousand Oaks and Moorpark for years.
They had to beat Oaks Christian twice, including 49-42 in the Southern Section finals, and opened the season with a 30-27 overtime win over Division II Bowl representative Del Oro-Loomis to open the season.
Yes, these Warriors are battle-tested.
"We played in one of the top leagues in Southern California," Westlake quarterback Justin Moore told the Ventura County Star. "We competed against teams like St. Bonaventure and Oaks Christian and proved that we belong in a bowl game."
Longtime Westlake coach and understated Jim Benkert said a Bowl Game wasn't really on his team's radar. Beating Oaks Christian a second time and powering through to win the Warriors' second Southern Section title in three years and fourth overall was.
"To be honest, we've never listed going to state among our goals," Benkert told the Ventura County Star. "We want to win the Marmonte League championship, and win the CIF-SS championship. The section title is absolutely our No. 1 priority.
"But kids being kids, I'm sure they want to go to a bowl game, too. They hear all the talk and they want to be part of the excitement."
No more exciting than facing one of the nation's most renowned programs in De La Salle, owners of perhaps the country's most remarkable national records: A 151-game win streak from 1992 to 2004.
The Spartans have won at least six mythical national championships, and with a 49-13 victory over San Ramon Valley-Danville on Saturday, they captured their 20th-straight North Coast Section crown and 27th overall. Bob Ladouceur, the state's career leader in wins, has a record of 382-25-3.
Though De La Salle had a bumpy road early, including its only loss of the season, 30-6 at national power St. Thomas Aquinas-Fort Lauderdale, Fla., the Spartans come in with 10 straight wins having outscored those opponents 458-57.
"I think we're in a good spot," Ladouceur said. "Our defense plays well. I know we're going to play a team that's got a lot of speed and is very athletic, but I like our chances. We'll give it a whirl."
DE LA SALLE OFFENSE vs. WESTLAKE DEFENSE
Photo by Dennis Lee
Tiapepe Vitale went huge in his last game, scoring six
touchdowns to help earn a section title.
De La Salle struggled early largely because it was trying to find a consistent, healthy running back and Wisconsin-bound quarterback Bart Houston admittedly tried to do too much. But Houston has found his rhythm in De La Salle's vaunted veer attack. He's accounted for 32 touchdowns, rushing for 17 and throwing for 15 more.
When De La Salle's offense is clicking, Houston doesn't have to do too much, which he tried to do in the first three games. He's a third-year starter and De La Salle is 37-1 in games he has started.
The Spartans have lacked the breakaway back they've possessed in the past but Vitale, a 5-foot-10, 196-pound junior, exploded for 178 yards rushing and six touchdowns in the win over San Ramon Valley. Returners
Joseph Te'O
, coming back from knee surgery, and
David Riopelle
are other go-to backs.
"(Vitale) is getting better every game," Houston said. "He's worked so hard to get to this point."
The game-breaker for the Spartans is 6-foot, 185-pound senior receiver Anthony Williams, brother of former NFL receiver Demetrius Williams.
The key to all De La Salle offenses is up front with a small, but explosive, offensive line, this year led by two-way star
Luc Hamilton
(6-2, 225).
With Westlake's big offensive numbers, its stout defense sometimes gets overlooked. In 10 of the Warriors' 14 games, they allowed two touchdowns or less and most of those were late in blowout wins. Senior inside linebacker
David Ortiz
(6-2, 200) leads the way with 85 tackles and outside linebacker
Devin Ray
(5-10, 175) had 82.
Justin Solis
, a 6-3, 295-pound senior, is Westlake's leader on the line with 67 tackles and seven sacks.
In the secondary, Hunt, though known now more for his offensive exploits, was first recruited as a cornerback. The UCLA-bound star has six interceptions and has returned two for touchdowns. He'll likely be lined up often against Williams.
WESTLAKE OFFENSE vs. DE LA SALLE DEFENSE
Photo by Louis Lopez
Dashon Hunt has added punch to the Westlake
offense and defense this year. His speed will
be tough for De La Salle to contain.
Speaking of Hunt, he's turned into a bona fide game-breaker as he showed in the Southern Section title game with five touchdowns. At 5-9, 175 pounds, he's remarkably quick and stronger than most think. He and quarterback Justin Moore (5-11, 175) give Westlake a remarkably quick tandem with quick-strike capability.
Moore makes everything go and is a terrific dual threat as a 2,000-plus-yard passer and 1,000-yard runner.
The best part about his passing is his ability to use different threats, as six receivers have at least 17 catches. Though Tuttle is his top target, undoubtedly Moore's No. 1 deep threat is Cook, who averages 22.5 yards per catch and more than every other reception is a touchdown.
The no-huddle, spread attack has been good for almost 50 points per game with a low point-total of 30 in Westlake's season-opening win against Del Oro.
The team was just getting to know each other after losing 3,000-yard passer Nick Isham and 1,000-yard rusher Tavior Mowry to graduation. But Moore and Hunt fit into those spots quickly and Westlake went on to score more than 60 points three times.
Like De La Salle, the team's strength is considered its offensive line, led by center
Jordie Hannel
(6-2, 250). The line is much larger than De La Salle's and skilled. They also include: tackles
Keith Ramljak
(6-4, 265) and
Tony Mekari
(6-3, 250) and guards
Javier Aguilera
(6-3, 345) and
Anthony Davanzo
(6-2, 255).
"They have a lot of weapons, their skill guys are very explosive and the line is first rate," De La Salle defensive coordinator Terry Eidson said. "We'll have our work cut out."
De La Salle's defense likes the work and the challenge. Considered the team's strength and one of best in school history, the Spartans gave up their first defensive touchdowns in five games against San Ramon Valley.
They are led by a linebacker core that Eidson said could be his most talented. Cal-bound
Michael Barton
(6-foot, 215) and juniors
Michael Hutchings
(6-1, 203) and
David Moffitt
(6-2, 200) are fast, lean and hard-hitting.
Add in an effective defensive line led by Hamilton,
Chris Olinger
(6-2, 210),
Justin Walker
(6-foot, 205) and perhaps the player with the most upside,
Austin Hooper
(6-4, 233), and a stellar secondary, led by Williams and
Joshua Jenkins
(6-0, 184) and this will be likely Westlake's stiffest challenge on offense.
A truly significant blow to Westlake's cause occurred last week when 6-3, 210-pound senior kicker
Alex Ball
tore his ACL. He's out. Ball is a lethal weapon and may just be the best kicker in the country with 19 field goals, 81 extra points and 90 touchbacks in 107 kickoffs… Hannel owns a 4.7 grade point average and scored 2,320 out of a possible 2,400 on his SAT exam. "He's basically a genius," Benkert told Eric Sondheimer of the Los Angeles Times… De La Salle hasn't lost to a Northern California opponent in 20 years, a span of 223 games. The Spartans are 221-0-2 in that span against NorCal teams… The Spartans are 3-2 in Bowl Games thus far, having defeated Servite-Anaheim 48-8 last season and Crenshaw-Los Angeles 28-14 the season before.

How do I make screen captures using Winamp?
How do I make screen captures using Winamp? I wanna save an image in jpg format from a video I'm watching, I must stop the video at the image I want and then I must hit some keys at the same time, right? Someone once told me how to do it but I guess I forgot I just can't find this on the winamp tutorial.
Please, anyone, would you be so kind to help me with this silly problem? |

From personal experence I dont think you can from wimamp. A long time ago I got a program called BSplayer, it can take screens from anything you can get to play in it.
The webside is http://www.bsplayer.org/ Its my default player now, although winamp still is my mp3 player of choice |

Screencaps from DVD?
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, or if it's listed in some sticky somewhere. A quick glance suggests otherwise, but then I May Be Blind.
Does anyone know of a good way of getting screencaps from DVDs? I don't know if VirtualDub works for DVDs, and if it does, I don't know where the option to load the DVD is. WinDVD isn't very useful, since mine skips horribly when playing any DVD, no matter what I tried. (If anyone knows why, I'd like to know as well.) (InterVideo WinDVD 4, if anyone was wondering.) If anyone can point me to some utilities, preferably freeware (although I'll take reasonably-priced downloadable applications in a pinch), I'd be grateful. The more idiot-proof, the better. Incidentally, I use VideoLAN (as linked in the Media Configuration Guide in the Playback Help forum) for watching DVDs, since WMP irritates me. If there's some option in there, I'd be interested. Thank you. |

Select "Open DVD" from the File menu. Press F5 to take screenshots. It automatically saves the image to the desktop. If you want to open a VIDEO_TS folder other than one on a physical DVD, you can change the path. It's in View > Options > Playback > DVD/OGM > User defined path:. |

If you mean screenshots from video files on your computer you can do it with a program called BSplayer, you can easily download it at BSplayer's main site or at www.download.com. If you're talking about dvd screenshots I have no idea how to do it...
Also I guess this question doesn't belong on the "General Anime" thread but rather on the "Tech Support" Thread... |

Screen-cap ability fux0r3d
Just today I tried to do the ol' Print-Screen -> Paste into paint routine to get a screen shot, and it came up as a black screen. I havent installed or changed anything that might affect it, and my wallpaper is also a black screen until I right-click and refresh my desktop.
wtf is going on? For reference, I'm using WMP9 and was trying to screen cap from an .avi |

Most players have screen capture apps. Try VLC, Zoom or BSPlayer. Zoom tends to be able to capture all types of playable videos better - more chances of a good capture (non-black screen captures).

The two best applications for taking screenshots are BSPlayer and VirtualDub.
BSPlayer is great for taking multiple shots at a time because it will automatically name and increment your screenshots as you like them. Every time you press 'p' it takes a shot. My capture name file format is %F +%T,%A0. I find it much superior to the default since it records the video name and the time in the video that the screenshot was taken. On the other hand VirtualDub has the advantage that you can go frame-by-frame until you find the perfect screenshot. If it is only there for a frame or two this is the best way. It's a little bit more complicated to use, but cest la vie.

easiest most noodie way to do this is just play it with windows media player, and when the right moment comes up, quickly push ctrl+I and that will screen capture it and put it into ur pictures doc. i think it''s ctrl I.....one of those letters in that spot! |

BTW, zoom allows you to do frame by frame capture. (pause then advance frame by frame and do capture). I want to go back to BSplayer since Zoom has major issues with Intel HT technology. |

Interesting. Maybe I'll have to try out Zoom for screenshots and say goodbye to BSPlayer. (Since I only use it for screenshots.) My video card is nothing special: Rage 128 Pro Ultra GL AGP.

Experience the key to survival - Bowyer
Birmingham, Updated:
[.[views].], BY ClubCall
Lee Bowyer insists he has nothing to prove and is merely focused on keeping Birmingham in the Premier League this coming season.
The 32-year-old combative midfielder was signed on a permanent basis late last week after a successful loan stint in the second half of last season in which time he helped the Blues secure automatic promotion to the top flight. And, after penning a two-year deal at St Andrews, Bowyer insists he has the experience required to keep the Blues out of the relegation mire next term.
"Personally, I don't need to prove anything. I've played in the Premier League for 13 years now. I don't think I need to prove anything," Bowyer said.
"I just want to bring experience to Birmingham. That's why I've come here, to help them stay in the Premier League. That would be as much an achievement for me as all the other years I've been playing.
"It's exciting, isn't it? Everybody wants to play at the highest level possible. I know I do. There are a lot of players here with that Premier League experience. Everybody you speak to wants to be in the Premier League.
"There are going to be some tough times, but they're the times you need to stay together."

Hidden away during years behind the Iron Curtain, the grand castles, the soaring churches, the interesting old towns and the scenic beauty of the Czech Republic were largely unknown to western tourists. The photos in the slide show on the right offer some highlights of the Czech Republic. For more detail on a particular area, visit one of the other pages: Prague, Český Krumlov, Kutná Hora, Plzeň and Tábor.
After Czechoslovakia emerged from Soviet domination in 1989, the country – and particularly the half that later became the Czech Republic – made up for lost time. It is safe to say that the Czech Republic has been "discovered". Indeed, it now ranks as one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe.
For such a small country, the Czech Republic has an unusually rich history. Prior to the 10th century, the area was dominated at various times by German and Slav tribes, Mongols, Franks and Magyars from Hungary. In the 10th century, a dynasty of the Cechove, or Ceši, tribe (from which Czechs derive their name) unified neighboring tribes and established centralized rule in Bohemia – the western part of what is now the Czech Republic. Bohemia later came under the protection of the Holy Roman Empire.
Bohemia gained great political and cultural prominence under King Charles IV, who reigned from 1347 to 1378, and was also crowned as the Holy Roman Emperor. Prague in particular became a great center of learning and culture and it was during Charles's reign that many of the best-known historic buildings in Prague were built, including the famous Charles Bridge.
During the 15th century, a religious reform movement based on the teachings of Bohemian Jan Hus gained strength, notwithstanding that Hus was burned at the stake as a heretic in 1415. Many Czech nobles converted to Hus-inspired Protestantism. During this same period, however, the Catholic Hapsburgs succeeded to the throne of Bohemia and conflicts arose between them and the Czech nobles. In 1620, the Bohemian army of the Czech nobles was defeated at the Battle of the White Mountain and many leaders were killed or forced into exile. Those that remained were required to convert to Catholicism and give up their native language and culture in favor of the Hapsburg's German.
The Hapsburgs and later Austria-Hungary continued to rule Bohemia and Moravia (the eastern part of the present Czech Republic) until their defeat in World War I. After the war, the country of Czechoslovakia was created, with Prague as its capital. Peace, however, did not long prevail in the new country. In 1938, at the urging of ethnic Germans living in the Sudetenland area of Czechoslovakia, Hitler's troops marched into region and took control of the area. The area was formally ceded to Germany under the infamous Munich Pact (Britain's attempt to appease Hitler's territorial demands). World War II soon followed and Czechoslovakia was dismembered.
After the war, independence was restored to Czechoslovakia only to be lost again once the country fell under the domination of the Soviet Union. In 1968, an effort at political and cultural liberalization, known as "Prague Spring," was suppressed when Soviet and other Warsaw Pact troops invaded Prague. The country remained under the Soviet heel for another two decades.
In November 1989, following the "Velvet Revolution" – massive but non-violent, student-led demonstrations in Prague – the country's Communist government fell and free elections were held soon after. Independence also brought to the surface simmering economic and cultural differences between the Czechs and the Slovaks. In January 1993, Czechoslovakia was peacefully separated into the independent countries of the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The Czech Republic quickly shook off the worst effects of the Communist days and modernized its industries and economy. In 2004, it was admitted to the European Union (along with nine other nations). Economically, it is one of the strongest of the new members.
Although Prague quickly became a very popular tourist destination, other areas of the Czech Republic deserve attention too. The small town of Český Krumlov in the southern Bohemia region was a particularly unexpected surprise and should certainly be on any visitor's itinerary.

Lush melodies, soulful scenery and an occasional jolt of Irish step-dancing don't do enough to lift "The Pirate Queen," the newest musical from "Les Miserables" and "Miss Saigon" creators Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg. The show, playing in a Chicago warm-up before moving to Broadway in March, promises a more emotional experience than the current climate of jukebox musicals and Disney film adaptations.
Lush melodies, soulful scenery and an occasional jolt of Irish step-dancing don't do enough to lift "The Pirate Queen," the newest musical from "Les Miserables" and "Miss Saigon" creators Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg. The show, playing in a Chicago warm-up before moving to Broadway in March, promises a more emotional experience than the current climate of jukebox musicals and Disney film adaptations. But despite great singing, it fails fundamentally to create characters deep enough to engage an audience in its too-tepid love story.
Teamed with the producers of Riverdance, Boublil and Schonberg struggle mightily to re-create the formula that brought them such commercial success in prior decades. Out of the story of true-life 16th century Irish chieftain Grace O'Malley (here called Grania), they concoct a sweeping tale of love set in a political context, mixing musical influences with the help of Gaelic pipes and whistles. While one can hear plenty of sounds that immediately bring "Les Miz" to mind, particularly when the cast of 40 sing simultaneously, much of Schonberg's scoring is also reminiscent of James Horner's music for the film "Titanic," another enterprise that sold a few tickets. But the plotting and characterizations are sorely lacking. The show creates a couple of potentially strong female roles in Grania (Stephanie Block) and her English counterpart, Queen Elizabeth I (Linda Balgord). But nobody here quite knows what to do with them beyond sticking them with stock male figures straight out of melodrama. Until they come face to face late in the show, both these characters have been awaiting a foil with enough personality to bring them to life. In the meantime, they're little more than typical plucky heroine and steely monarch-in-the-making. Frank Galati ("Ragtime") directs a production that unquestionably looks beautiful, with the design team of Eugene Lee, Martin Pakledinaz and Kenneth Posner contrasting the naturally spare, misty, stony landscape of western Ireland with the over-the-top formalities of the English court. The story begins as young Grania, forbidden from sailing by her chieftain father Dubhdara (a powerful performance from Jeff McCarthy), dresses as a boy to get aboard his ship and soon proves herself in a well-staged sequence where she courageously takes down a sail in the midst of a storm. By the third song in this sung-through show, she has fallen in love with Tiernan, a handsome man with no noticeable characteristics beyond his faithful affection for Grania and, played by Hadley Frasier, a tenor voice that could make any heart melt. His song "I'll Be There" soars in the middle of the first act and seems likely to become an audition standard. While the title would suggest some swashbuckling adventures, the pirate queen is presented here as a genuine ruler fighting for her land and people, not a female version of Captain Jack. Beset by the English, who seek to take full control of Ireland, Grania must choose between her love for Tiernan and a strategic marriage that will unite two clans. She chooses duty and finds herself married to Donal (Marcus Chait), who signals his intentions to be a terrible husband with the song "Boys'll Be Boys." That song also provides the first opportunity for some Riverdance alumni to step-dance, which always brings the show to life. Donal proves a most cowardly, chauvinistic nincompoop. He ultimately betrays Grania to Lord Bingham (William Youmans), who similarly plays the role of chauvinistic nincompoop on the English side. Such one-dimensional figures would be acceptable if they weren't quite so central to a serious plotline. Their shallowness makes it awfully hard to depict with any depth the true challenges that Grania or Elizabeth faced as female leaders. While Tiernan does step forward as a heroic, if still generic, figure by sacrificing his freedom for Grania's, the only time the show really creates any true chemistry comes when the two queens finally meet to hash out their differences. Even here, however, Boublil and Schonberg scurry away from the details of their negotiations to manufacture a happy ending with the mushy message that women should seek love above all but can also solve the political problems of the world with a quick sit-down. Still, even if the emotional content of their songs never emerges with authenticity, Block and Balgord are exceptionally potent singers, and their duets form a forceful musical climax. There's plenty to work to do and not a lot of time between this run and the scheduled Broadway engagement. Lame sword fights must be addressed and can certainly be fixed in time, and the show really could use at least one additional dance number. But the problems run deeper. Boosting superficial elements can help shows that seek to be escapist entertainments, but the more ambitious "Pirate Queen" is in trouble unless its love story can find true romance.The Pirate Queen

Turnip Soup with Crispy Country Ham and Cornbread Croutons
- 2 ounces unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 pounds yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
- 3 ribs celery, chopped (about 1 cup)
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 tablespoons chopped garlic
- 10 cups chicken stock
- 2 pounds turnips, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces Smithfield ham or any country ham, julienned
- 2 cups medium diced cornbread
- Drizzle olive oil
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Melt the butter in a 6-quart stock pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and celery. Season with salt and black pepper, stirring, until the vegetables are soft and lightly golden, about 8 minutes.
Add the bay leaf and garlic, stirring for 2 minutes. Add the stock and turnips and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, until the turnips are very soft and the mixture is thick and creamy, about 1 hour.
Remove the soup from the heat. Discard the bay leaf. With a hand-held blender, puree until smooth. Slowly add the cream. Stir to blend. Reseason the soup.
In a small saute pan, over medium heat, render the ham until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Set aside. Toss the cornbread with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and toast until golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. To serve, ladle the soup into individual bowls. Garnish the soup with the crispy ham and croutons.

You are hereSt Canna's Church, Llangan
St Canna's Church, Llangan
The current church is thought to have been on the site of the original chapel founded by St Canna. It was rebuilt in 1820, but many references from the late 19th century refer to it as being dilapidated and unused. I am unsure of its recent history at the moment but what I am interested in is a legend attached to its construction.
In 'British Goblins' (1881), Wirt Sykes tells us that 'In the middle of this parish there is a field called Parc y Fonwent, or the churchyard-field, where, according to local tradition, the church was to have been originally built; but the stones brought to the spot during the day were at night removed by invisible hands to the site of the present church. Watchers in the dark heard the goblins engaged in this work, and pronouncing in clear and correct Welsh these words, "Llangan, dyma'r fan," which means, "Llangan, here is the spot."
The parish of Llangan straddled the boundary with Pembrokeshire and in 1844, only 603 of its 640 residents lived in Carmarthenshire side. Llangan parish is also thought to have been the occasional residence of Hywel Dda (880AD – 950AD), King of Wales who is said to have stayed in the long lost Ty Gwyn ar Dâf (the White House on the Tâf). It was here that Hywel Dda summoned representatives from each community in Wales to assemble in order to codify the laws of the country. Parts of this legal system were still in use as late as 1536.

As I write this, the U.S. leads in total medals (82) in the 2008 Summer Olympics. However, China has won more gold medals (45) than the U.S. (26) and Russia (13) combined, and more than the U.S. and Great Britain (26) combined.
The U.S. is expected to gain ground in the gold medal race in basketball, softball, volleyball, and track and field events. Whether it can win the race for gold will be decided by the end of the Olympics this weekend.
So beyond national and individual pride, which are priceless, what are the gold medals actually worth?
An article I read today, "Olympic medals more valuable than the metal," shed light on how much the metals are actually worth in terms of content, how much they might bring from buyers, and how much they cost to produce. It's amazing what you can learn when you surf the net.
For starters, the gold metals are made mostly of silver. Only six grams, or 0.19 ounce, is required to coat the medal.
An example of what Nadler meant was illustrated by the story of Polish swimmer Otylia Jedrzejczak, who auctioned off her gold medal from the Athens Olympics for $82,599 and donated the money to a Polish charity helping children with leukemia. The Polish Mint made her a replica of her medal. (Jedrzejczak won her gold in 2004 in the 200 meter butterfly; she took 4th in this race in Beijing.)
According to the article, assuming a gold medal contains 146 grams of silver and six grams of gold, the metals in each medal would be worth a bit more than $215 based on the August 18 closing prices.
Reportedly, producing 6,000 gold, silver, and bronze metals for the 2008 Olympics and the Paralympics has cost China millions of dollars.
Add the millions spent producing the medals to the billions China spends cranking out gold medal athletes and you have an obscene total.
" The Hidden Cost Behind China's Olympics," written by Hua Ming and published on epochtimes.com, asked the question: How much for a gold medal?
According to the article, after the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, the budget for the China Sports Bureau raised from three billion yuan ($USD 439 million) to five billion yuan ($732 million) per year. During the four years of preparation for the Athens Olympics, China spent 20 billion yuan ($3 billion), but the expense earned China 32 gold medals, making the cost for each gold medal nearly 700 million yuan ($102 million). Due to this high price for Olympic glory, China's gold medals have been called "The most expensive gold medals in the world."
The author reported that the 700 million yuan used to win one Olympic gold medal can build 3,500 elementary schools and rescue 350,000 children from poverty due to lack of education.
Gold medals are expensive, training gold-medal athletes is expensive, and building facilities and infrastructure to host an Olympics (China reportedly spent more than $40 billion doing this) is expensive. Is this money well spent? Could it be put to better use?
Don't get me wrong. I love the Olympics and tear up at all the 'agony and ecstasy' moments. (I almost cried when Lolo Jones stumbled over the hurdle.) And I'm just as proud as the next American to see the U.S. flag wave over the medal ceremonies to the strains of "The National Anthem." However, I can't help but think that spending the money to help the world's impoverished escape poverty would be a nobler endeavor than hosting an über-expensive sporting event.

You can get blueberries year round, but these fat little gems are at their juicy, sweet-and-slightly-sour best in summer. If you can fight the urge to eat them by the handful, cooked blueberries destined for desserts take on an intense concentrated sweetness, evoking summer in every bite.
Fresh thyme in both the cake and the blueberries adds savory herbal notes to this not-too-sweet dessert.
view recipe
Move over chocolate and vanilla. Summer's iconic dish meets summer's iconic fruit in this creamy, vibrantly colored—and flavored—treat.
A margarita-inspired syrup enhances the tart-sweet flavor of this summery fruit salad. For an alcohol-free version, use water in place of the tequila.
Buttery shortbread adds sweetness and crunch to the tangy, floral combination of lemon and blueberry in this refreshing dessert.
Big, sweet summer berries are the heart and soul of this classic pie. The filling is thickened with just enough flour that the pie can be sliced without the filling running out.
This beautiful cake is really muffin batter baked in a cake pan. It's a perfect summertime breakfast treat or casual dessert, especially when served still warm from the oven.
Fun, flavorful, and portable, these hand pies are like mini blueberry cheesecakes wrapped in puff pastry.
Always a hit at summer picnics, these addictive squares strike the perfect balance between tart and sweet and chewy and crunchy.
The combination of cornmeal and buttermilk offers both texture and tang in this simple summer dessert. The cake is the perfect base for the topping: plump blueberries that have been coated in sugar and lightly crushed.
A rich, nutty pastry sandwiches a sweet blueberry filling. For a special dessert, warm the bars and top them with vanilla ice cream.
The classic pairing of blueberry and lemon shine in this easier-than-pie galette. It is rustic and comes together in less time than a pie, yet it's still a showstopper dessert.
Friday night's dessert becomes Saturday morning's breakfast in this moist and dense pound cake. Lemon enhances while vanilla and cream cheese complement the complex flavor of blueberries.
Deep purple blueberry purée and lime zest give this creamy cheesecake a surprisingly fresh flavor, perfect for a summer party. It's topped with a pile of glazed fresh blueberries.
Why should strawberries have all the fun? The trick to these shortcakes is simmering half the blueberries to make the sauce and stirring in the rest before piling the mixture on top of the tender biscuit bottom.
Blackberries and blueberries are in perfect harmony in this classic American pie, while the tang of lemon zest and lemon juice perk up the pastry.
Lime zest and a tangy lime-juice glaze add zip to the sweet flavor of fresh blueberries in this moist, tender pound cake. The cream cheese lends the typically springy crumb an exceptional richness and tenderness.
Need to whip up a summery dessert in a flash? With a batch of Blueberry-Cassis sauce in your refrigerator, you can make many quick desserts like this luxuriously creamy fool.
This is the perfect dessert for summer entertaining since the favors are best when the cake is made a day ahead. It's fine on its own, but the vanilla-scented crème fraîche lends just the right contrast to the moist, berry-sweetend cake.
You can't beat a summer fruit salad for a quick and easy dessert. For a special touch, drizzle on an infused sugar syrup for a fragrant finish.
This rustic fruit tart is the perfect vehicle for ripe summer blueberries and peaches. The crust is free form—it just gets folded over the filling and then baked.

Oncothyreon Earnings: An Early Look
Earnings season is winding down, with most companies already having reported their quarterly results. But there are still some companies left to report, and Oncothyreon is about to release its quarterly earnings report. The key to making smart investment decisions with stocks releasing their quarter reports is to anticipate how they'll do before they announce results, leaving you fully prepared to respond quickly to whatever inevitable surprises arise. That way, you'll be less likely to make an uninformed kneejerk reaction to news that turns out to be exactly the wrong move.
Oncothyreon has dealt with plenty of disappointment in recent years, and another round of bad news sent shares plunging again this quarter. Let's take an early look at what's been happening with Oncothyreon over the past quarter and what we're likely to see in its quarterly report on Thursday.
Stats on Oncothyreon
Analyst EPS Estimate | ($0.16) |
Year-Ago EPS | ($0.27) |
Revenue Estimate | $0 |
Earnings Beats in Past 4 Quarters | 2 |
Source: Yahoo! Finance.
Will Oncothyreon heal itself this quarter?
Analysts don't see Oncothyreon becoming profitable anytime soon, although they reduced their full-year 2013 loss estimates by $0.13 per share. The stock has resumed its downward slide, falling 45% just since early December.
Unfortunately, the most important news for Oncothyreon during the quarter was bad news, as its lead Stimuvax drug candidate to treat non-small-cell lung cancer didn't produce the phase 3 clinical-trial results that the company had hoped. In late December, development partner Merck KGaA said that the trials it ran on Stimuvax failed to show statistically significant survival rates in the trial, and although the company didn't rule out further testing, the prospects for an approvable drug anytime soon went down substantially as a result.
Oncothyreon isn't solely reliant on Stimuvax, but its PX-866 kinase inhibitor is still in the middle of phase 2 trials. Because of its sparse pipeline, Oncothyreon could have to wait a long time to make much progress.
One good thing for Oncothyreon is that it has the cash on hand to help it wait through its development phase. With a cash burn rate of about $25 million per year, Oncothyreon should be able to reach to the end of 2015 or so before running out of cash. By then, it should be much clearer whether the company has much hope of successfully getting a drug approved.
In its report, watch for Oncothyreon to discuss what plans it and Merck KGaA have to continue studies on Stimuvax. If the drug has any future potential, then any positive signs could lift shares back up quickly. Without some good news, though, Oncothyreon may never rebound from its current low levels.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Riding Critique
- - please critique my riding :D please please please!
please critique my riding :D please please please! hey, well my sister used to critique my riding and everything... but she moved to cambodia soooooo she cant really do that anymore. Anyway here are my photos critique away :D http://i323.photobucket.com/albums/n...e/P1010293.jpg http://i323.photobucket.com/albums/n...e/P1010298.jpg http://i323.photobucket.com/albums/n...e/P1010277.jpg http://i323.photobucket.com/albums/n...enie/Missy.jpg http://i323.photobucket.com/albums/n...e/IMG_8469.jpg THANKS!!! oh and these were taken ages ago and im positive that ive improved i might upload some later :D |
Hey, its always good to ask for critique to improve yourself. The one major flaw that is sticking out if your leeg is way too far back. You are putting yourself in danger of falling into the fetal position if your horse were to spook, and ultimately its easier to fall in this position. Imagine holding a yard stick at your shoulder. Your shoulder, hip and leg should all be perfectly aligned. It almost appears that you are bracing yourself with your knees. Try some excercises to open your hips and knees. You can do this at walk, just take a deep breath and widen your knees and press into your heels. The part you want "hugging" your horse is your calves. Your hands look great and your posture is good, just keep working at it, but bring the bottom of your leg forward. |
yeeaaaahhh. i see what you mean... thanks soo much will definately try that. yup someone else mentioned my legs being to far back and gripping with my knees and so i have been working really hard on them. Ill try to get some photos and upload them later :D |
By the way, the last picture is closest to the best position, but you'd need to roll your shoudlers back to be in the perfect alignment. |
yup i can see that too. one of my biggest problems in horse riding is over trying... like a while ago my legs were way too far forward and so when someone said to put my leg a little back so i was in alignment i tried to hard and developped the habit of putting it too far back.. it took me for ever to get my hands right because of that. I would hold them too low and then way too high when i was corrected... so i guess it just takes me twice as long to learn haha :D |
730 Attachment(s) If you just release that knee and let your leg hang, you'd have a perfect leg position! As for your shoulders.. you look like you're trying to touch your ears with them! Relax.. down and back. Open up that chest area and relax down into your seat. Looking great though! And I just want to point out with your horse, try not to be toooooo curled up. Pretty horse by the way! |
You pinch with your knee! Make sure you're stretching your heel down and your security comes from your seat. You also have too much foot in the stirrup. Make sure your thumbs are up and not out, as well. And roll your shoulders back. Relax your position a little as well – you're looking quite stiff in some of the pictures. And make sure you're always looking up and ahead! Other than that, brilliant riding! (: Good job! |
The first picture is also one of good postion. YOu elbow and hand position are really lovely and to me, I see the leg back a TINY bit too much but I think it looks like you are squeezing the horse a bit too much. I get the feeling that in some spots he's sucking back in resentment against the squeeze of your leg, you then reach back and try the harder to get him in front of your leg and end up really riding his face a bit too much. relax a bit more in the leg, and use a fluttering ankle to "plump" him like plumping pillows instead of a squeeze and get him forward enough that he isn't tempted to suck back behind the vertical. |

Local Child Care and Development Planning Councils
Local child care and development planning councils (LPCs) support the overall coordination of child care services.Description
The primary mission of the LPCs is to plan for child care and development services based on the needs of families in the local community. LPCs are intended to serve as a forum to address the child care needs of all families in the community for all types of child care, both subsidized and non-subsidized. There are currently LPCs representing each county in California. (See Education Code, Chapter 2.3, Article 1, Section 8499 and Article 2, Sections 8499.3, 8499.5 and 8499.7.)
LPCs responsibilities include but are not limited to the following:
- Conduct an assessment of child care needs in the county no less than once every five years.
- Prepare local comprehensive countywide child care plans designed to mobilize public and private resources to address identified needs.
- Identify local funding priority areas for child care services for General Child Care and Development Programs and the State Preschool Program (XLS) for new state and federal funds.
- Conduct local forums to encourage public input in the development of local priorities.
- Foster local partnerships with subsidized and non-subsidized providers, local and state children and families commissions, county welfare departments, human service agencies, regional centers, job training programs, employers, parent organizations, early start family resource centers, family empowerment centers on disability, local child care resource and referral programs, and other interested parties.
- Coordinate part-day programs, including state preschool and Head Start, with other child care and development services to provide full-day child care.
- Design a system to consolidate local child care waiting lists. (Note: Nine LPCs participated in a pilot project regarding the development of a centralized eligibility list in 2001 to 2003.)
- Collaborate with local First Five Commission and other entities to carry out child care staff retention initiatives.
For more information about LPCs, please contact Linda Parfitt, LPC Consultant, Early Education and Support Division, at 916-323-2133, or by e-mail at email@example.com.

Go to a LIVE mob |
YouMob lets people on the web gather around any page. As live mob participants, mobbers can share their reactions, shout out, and be counted among those who consider a page interesting, entertaining, important, or even unacceptable. Simply put, YouMob creates LIVE mobs on the web.
You can go to a mob by just following a link to one. YouMob.com lists the top mobs by those with the Most Mobbers, Most Recent, Most Visits, the Last Shout and those with the Most Supported and Most Opposed mobbers.
You will also find links to mobs in the form of YouMob beacons, which are placed around the web by other users, your favorite blogs, spaces, and popular sites.
When you go to a mob, you're instantly counted among everyone there. You'll see everyone's reaction to what's going on, and be able to share yours. You'll also see other's live shouts, and can shout out at any time.
Moments after leaving a mob site, you are automatically removed from the mob. You can return anytime just as easily.
Finally, you can add mobs to your favorites, and use them from a personalized list kept in your free, My YouMob page.
Share how you feel |
While in a mob, you'll notice the YouMob reaction bar and it's moving graph of mobber reactions. The reaction bar constantly shows the feelings of all mobbers there, as well as your own. Share your reaction at any time by clicking one of the five reaction buttons. Your reaction will be included among the totals broadcasted, and stay that way until you change your reaction or leave the mob.
When you enter a mob, you are automatically counted with a neutral reaction, but if you add a mob to your favorites, you can optionally set a default reaction that will be shared whenever you join in. Here are the five reactions you can share:
- Yay! - strongest support
- I support this - support
- Interesting - neutral
- I oppose this - opposition
- Booo! - strongest opposition
Note that when you shout, your current reaction automatically accompanies each shout you send.
Shout Out |
YouMob lets you send a shout to all mobbers present. Since a mob can be attended by literally thousands of people, shouts are displayed in the order they were submitted. Each shout is displayed for a few seconds before the next one is shown.
If you are interested in reading shouts faster than they are presented, you can click the 'next' arrow button to advance through as fast as you like. After the current shouts run out, you'll automatically see the next one received.
When you submit a comment, you'll notice that it's displayed with an icon representing your current reaction as selected in the reaction bar. Be sure to share your reaction when commenting so others will know how you feel.
Make Friends |
When you notice people you're interested in, you can add them to your list of friends. YouMob makes it easy to follow your friends to interesting mobs. Clicking on a user anywhere in YouMob takes you to their profile, where you can see their favorite mobs, friends, and fans. You can also find out which mob they're currently attending.
When adding a friend, you have the option of accepting email when they start a new mob. You can also choose to accept emails that they send to fans, via YouMob. This is a great way to learn of planned events.
Note that any email sent to you is only on behalf of other YouMob users. Your email address is never shown to other users.
If you want to remove someone from your friends list, or change which email notifications you receive, just click on the friend's user id anywhere in YouMob, and select 'Settings" in their user profile.
Add Favorites |
When you're in a mob that you like, you can add it to your a favorites. Favorites will appear in your My YouMob Favorites list.
When adding a favorite, you have the option of setting a default reaction that will be used whenever you go to the mob. For example, if you usually support a mob, you can show that support whenever you join, without clicking on a reaction button.
Finally, with a favorite, you may optionally receive email notifications of events planned by the owner of the mob site, or spontaneous events that attract lots of mobbers.
Adding favorites is free, and they are saved for as long as you like. If you want remove a favorite, just login, go to your My YouMob page, and click the 'Remove' button in your favorites list.
Place a Beacon |
Beacons are one of the most exciting, powerful, and unique features of YouMob. Beacons are a way to inform and attract people to interesting mobs. Beacons can be used by all types of users, whether casual surfers, or operators of popular portals, blogs, or spaces. For popular sites, there's a special advertising incentive that help both the operator and YouMob generate deserving traffic.
Each of three beacon types has a different behavior and is designed for certain uses:
- Mob Beacon - takes the visitor to a specific mob
- Follow-Me Beacon - takes the visitor to whichever mob you are currently attending
- Partner Beacon - takes the visitor to a mob, and credits your site for free advertising
Mob Beacon
A mob beacon lets people know if a given web page is mobbed. If the page is mobbed, clicking the beacon takes the visitor there, where they can immediately share their reactions, shout LIVE, add to favorites, and even get their own beacons.
If the page is not already mobbed, clicking on the beacon will start the mob. Note that visitors do not have to be YouMob members to start or join mobs.
If you are a web site owner, putting mob beacons in your pages will let visitors mob them from within. You can get a mob beacon at any mob, or in the Webmaster area.
Follow-Me Beacon
Place follow-me beacons anywhere on the web, such as blogs, pages, spaces, or even emails. Whenever you're participating in a mob, the beacons will indicate that you are mobbing, and invite others to click and join you. They'll be able to share their reactions and shout right away.
Note that you must be a registered YouMob user to get a follow-me beacon, and you must attend mobs while logged in for others to follow you.
You can get a follow-me beacon from within any mob, or from My YouMob.
Partner Beacon
If you own a portal web site, YouMob can help drive traffic to your site for FREE! Partner beacons accompany outbound links that you think will make good mob sites. Visitors using your beacons are sent to the mobs to experience them with others. If a linked page has not been mobbed yet, the first visitor will start the mob automatically.
When a visitor attends a mob via your partner beacon, you are credited for the referral. Your site banner is then displayed on YouMob.com, at a rate proportional to the number of visitors you refer.
Get a partner beacon and instructions on using it from the Webmaster area.
Start a Mob |
Any web page can be mobbed. All it takes is a web address.
To create a mob, paste or type a full web address (URL) into the Start a Mob form, and you'll be taken right to the mob.
Other people will be able to immediately join you, shout, share their reactions, add favorites, and more.
After the mob starts, it will automatically be listed in the YouMob.com Most Mobbers, Most Recent, Most Visits, Last Shout and Most Supported and Most Opposed mobbers lists, along with descriptive information and current mob statistics.
Note that rarely visited mobs may be cleared and removed periodically. However, you may start them again any time.
Mob your own site |
If you own a web site, you can create a new experience, attract new visitors, and generate more traffic by having your pages mobbed. Remember that any mobbed URL within your site will show up in YouMob's ranked mob lists.
Starting a Mob
Just like any user, you can mob your own pages using the Start a Mob form. All it takes is the URL. Keep in mind that every unique URL will result in a unique mob.
Control Your Mob Listing
Every mob appears with certain descriptive information in YouMob's ranked mob lists. Normally, a page is shown with a thumbnail image, the page title, and page description if it contains one.
You can override this information by providing YouMob-specific meta tags within each of your pages. A special title, description, and logo image will set your mob listing apart from others. Simple instructions for controlling your mob listing can be found in the My Mob Listing form.
Use a Beacon
When visitors come to your site, they may not be aware that it's been mobbed. Place a mob beacon, using the respective URL, in each page you want mobbed. When users visit a page, its beacon will indicate if mobbers are present, and clicking the beacon will take them right to the mob.
If you want to advertise free on YouMob, use a partner beacon instead of a mob beacon. While the two beacons look the same, a partner beacon accumulates advertising credit on YouMob. Your ad banners link back to your site, and can generated more traffic from other YouMob visitors and mobbers.

The fruits are purple and the trunk is streaked red to purple, creating a perfect accent to the lush, deep olive green tropical foliage.

Shirley Temple starred in "The Little Princess," one of her many hits through the 1930s.Credit: Provided
For four years, from 1935 to 1938, the top box office draw at the movies was Shirley Temple, the button-cute little girl star of such films as "Bright Eyes," "Curly Top," "The Littlest Rebel," "Dimples," "Wee Willie Winkie" and the films of "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" and "Heidi." She eventually faded from the spotlight, as all kids do.
But unlike many child stars she lived a long and happy, even prosperous life. Temple died late Monday night, says her publicist. She was 85 years old.
Born in 1928, Temple began her career at the age of 3, when she entered dance school — and, perhaps more importantly, when her mother started curling her hair into ringlets in the style of Mary Pickford. At 6, she signed to the Fox Film Corporation, where she made the bulk of her pictures. Her breakthrough was 1934's "Stand Up and Cheer." The film wasn't that far from truth: The president of the United States thinks the real cause of the Great Depression is a lack of optimism, and launches a new "Department of Amusement" to cheer everyone up with shows. Temple is among those who auditions and performs.
She quickly rose to lead roles, and through a number of hits became the perceived top source of cheer during hard times. No less than Franklin D. Roosevelt chimed in on her signature power: "It is a splendid thing that for just 15 cents an American can go to a movie and look at the smiling face of a baby and forget his troubles." [embedgallery id=361301]
Temple was not without her critics, among them the author (then critic) Graham Greene, who called her a "complete totsy" and charged that her biggest fans were lecherous "middle-aged men and clergymen." Temple and Fox actually sued for libel and won. Temple donated her winnings, which were dispersed when she was 21, to a youth center in England.
Like many child actors, Temple's fame was all but destined to be short-lived. As she grew older, she tried to ease into more mature roles. But audiences weren't having it, and 1940 saw two consecutive flops: "The Blue Bird" and "Young People."
In her young adulthood, she did appear in two very good films. In 1947's "The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer" — arguably the last screwball comedy — she plays a teenager in love with Cary Grant, who is really in love with her mother (Myrna Loy). Written by future trash novelist Sidney Sheldon, it also features this repeated exchange. The next year she had a small role in John Ford's terrific Cavalry film "Fort Apache," with Henry Ford and John Wayne.
Still, by 1950 she had official retired from movies. She occasionally did TV, including a fairy tale show called "Shirley Temple's Storybook." She also — like many celebrities — got into politics. After getting involved in the Republican party, she ran for Congress, but lost. But she did serve as a representative to Richard Nixon, and even as ambassador to Ghana.
She battled breast cancer in the early 1970s. But it would be natural causes that took her, aging even as her youthful self lived on in perpetuity.
