|Major wins
Blue Seal Stakes (1962)
Epsom Oaks (1963)
|English Champion Two-Year-Old Filly (1962)

|Horse (Equus ferus caballus)
Noblesse (1960-1972) was a champion thoroughbred racehorse and was also the greatest filly ever trained in Ireland. Owned by American Evelyn Olin, she was sired by Mossborough, who also sired the great Ballymoss, and was out of the mare Duke's Delight (by His Grace). Having been bought as a yearling for 4,200 guineas by the Anglo-Irish Bloodstock Agency, she went into training with the legendary Irish trainer, Paddy Prendergast on the Curragh. Noblesse was not the most handsome filly, being small and light-framed but when galloping she had an attractive, easy-moving action. Although trained in Ireland she never actually raced on Irish soil.
Champion 2-y-o
Paddy Prendergast was known as an outstanding trainer of juveniles and when Noblesse travelled over to England as a two-year-old to make her debut in Ascot's Blue Seal Stakes, she was preceded by a tall reputation. Starting a short-priced favourite, she lived up to the hype with a very impressive 5-length victory. This was followed by just one more run that season when taking on the colts in the Timeform Gold Cup (now known as the Racing Post Trophy) at Doncaster which, at the time, was the richest two-year-old race in Europe. Impressive though she was at Ascot, her performance at Doncaster was even more so, settling the issue in a few strides a furlong from the finish and passing the post on a tight rein with a 3-length advantage. She is still the only filly ever to have triumphed in this prestigious race. The performance earned her the title of Champion two-year-old filly for 1962 and she finished the season as ante-post favourite for both the 1,000 Guineas and Epsom Oaks in 1963.
Classic Success
The following spring was one of the coldest on record and as a result, Noblesse was very slow to come to hand, meaning that Prendergast was unable to get her ready in time for the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket. She eventually re-appeared at York in May for the Musidora Stakes, a recognised trial for the Oaks at Epsom. Again she was very impressive, quickening away from her rivals inside the final two furlongs to win eased down by six lengths. This resulted in her starting as a red-hot 11/4-on favourite for the Oaks a few weeks later.
The performance of Noblesse in the Oaks of 1963 was one of the finest performances ever seen in the race. When asked to quicken by her jockey Garnet Bougoure approaching the final furlong, she sprinted away from her rivals and won in a canter by 10 lengths. Rarely had a classic race been won as easily and it was described in Tony Morris and John Randall's acclaimed publication 'A Century Of Champions' as "the crushing Oaks victory which made her Ireland's greatest filly." Indeed it led many to regret at the time that she had not been in the field for the Derby a couple of days earlier. However it was hoped that she would get the chance to take on Derby winner Relko in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot the following month. Unfortunately though, she injured a hock and had to be withdrawn, leaving the way clear for her stable companion Ragusa to win the race.
Final Start
As a result of her hock injury, it was decided to give Noblesse a couple of months rest before preparing her for a tilt at Europe's richest race, the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp in October. Her preparatory race was to be the Prix Vermeille which is run over the same course and distance as the 'Arc'. Ridden by Lester Piggott in the 'Vermeille', Noblesse started a short-priced favourite but was surprisingly beaten into third place, showing none of her summer sparkle. However, the reason for her poor performance was soon evident as she returned lame to the unsaddling enclosure and with very little time left to get her back fit and ready to run in the 'Arc', it was decided to retire her. It was a sad end to a short but otherwise glittering career and it came as no surprise when she was named Champion three-year-old filly for 1963. Timeform, racing's highly respected judges, summed her career up as follows:
"The 'sixties saw some lowly-rated Oaks winners but the 1963 winner was one of the best. Noblesse (rated 133) beat her Oaks field by the staggering margin of ten lengths, her fourth race and fourth win........Noblesse is a small, rather lightly-made filly, long and low, strongest behind the saddle, no beauty to look at, except when she is galloping; her action is fluent and effortless, and she has a perfect temperament for racing. She had only five races in her career, but she was not a robust filly, and even if she had kept fit, a more severe programme might have been to her detriment. In the first four of her races she hardly needed to gallop seriously for more than fifty yards, but she won all of them by a wide margin, and her turn of foot was something to marvel at."
Noblesse retired to stud in America and proved to be a very successful broodmare. She had 5 foals before her untimely death in 1972 but all five won races, two of them being stakes winners whilst all of them were stakes placed. However, it was her final foal, Where You Lead (by Raise A Native), who ensured that her name would live on indefinitely. She emulated her mother by winning the Musidora Stakes at York and made a valiant attempt to add the Oaks at Epsom but had to make do with second place behind the 1,000 Guineas winner Mysterious. However, it was as a broodmare that Where You Lead really excelled. Amongst the winners she bred were Slightly Dangerous (by Roberto), a graded winner who also finished second in the Oaks and she in turn bred English and Irish Derby winner Commander in Chief (by Dancing Brave), Champion 2-y-o & 3-y-o colt Warning (by Known Fact) as well as seven other foals who won or were placed in stakes races. Where You Lead also bred I Will Follow (by Herbager), a stakes winner in France who bred the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and Coronation Cup winner Rainbow Quest (by Blushing Groom), himself a leading sire.
It was her 3 daughters who ensured that the legacy of Noblesse would live on for many years to come and right up to the present day you will find her name in the pedigrees of numerous top-class racehorses. The Noblesse Stakes, a Group 3 race for fillies and mares which is run every year over one-and-a-half miles at Cork racecourse represents a lasting tribute to one of the greatest racehorses ever trained in Ireland.

David Cameron has pledged that the Tories will back plans to give Scotland more tax and law-making powers, stepping up the battle to win over undecided voters before September's independence referendum.
The prime minister said that increasing the Scottish parliament's powers to raise and set taxes was "the right thing to do" and would not be a consolation prize for Alex Salmond's nationalist government in the event of a no vote in September.
In a move to help build a united platform in favour of greater devolution from all three UK parties, Cameron told the Scottish Tories it was a "blatant" nationalist myth that a no vote would mean the end of the road for further powers.
"Let me be absolutely clear: a vote for no is not a vote for no change.
"We are committed to making devolution work better still, giving the Scottish parliament greater responsibility for raising more of the money it spends," Cameron told the party's spring conference, which has attracted a record number of 1,100 delegates.
"So here's the recap: vote yes – that is total separation. Vote no – that can mean further devolution; more power to the Scottish people and their parliament, but with the crucial insurance policy that comes with being part of our UK."
Cameron's pledge lacked any detail but is designed to further clarify the options facing Scottish voters in September's independence referendum, with the Liberal Democrats and Labour producing blueprints to give Holyrood greater control over income tax rates and other minor taxes.
Blair Jenkins, chief executive of the Yes Scotland pro-independence campaign, leapt on Cameron's use of the word "can" in his speech as evidence of the Tories' half-hearted and "vague" promises. "We now know this is a sham," Jenkins said.
Tory officials rejected that, insisting that Cameron used the word to mean "will" and was wholly committed to further tax powers.
This represents a significant softening of Tory attitudes to further devolution. The Scottish Tory leader, Ruth Davidson, was elected in 2011 after describing new powers to allow Holyrood to modify the UK rate of income tax by up to 10p from 2016 as a "line in the sand".
But with opinion polls repeatedly showing that a majority of Scotland's voters want more powers than those offered in the Scotland Act, the Tories are considering more independence on income tax as part of a closely-guarded review by Lord Strathclyde, the former leader of the House of Lords, due to be published in May.
Scottish Labour's leader, Johann Lamont, is due to publish its devolution commission plans next week. The party is expected to propose a Scottish-run income tax system, which has been endorsed by Gordon Brown, and control over other minor taxes and benefits.
In a speech designed to make a positive case for the UK, Cameron cited his own Scottish roots – a Scottish great-great-uncle served in the first world war – adding that the recent Winter Olympics and this summer's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow gave fresh evidence of the strength of the union.
The Scottish skipper of the UK curling team, Eve Muirhead, had said that representing Team GB was a "great, great feeling" and more than a quarter of volunteers for the Commonwealth Games were coming from outside Scotland.
"It is a great feeling," Cameron said. "It's not about subjection or colonialism or dry pragmatism. It's about being part of a bigger team. A family of nations."
With Scottish police helping English forces during the 2011 riots, or Scottish patients routinely using English hospitals, these parts of the UK were not parts of a foreign country.
While the nations were sometimes argumentative, "we're there for each other", Cameron said. "And let's not forget how unique and precious that is. When you look around the world, so often, tragically, neighbourliness has been lost and replaced by wars and feuds. We don't do that. We don't slam doors and turn compatriots into foreigners."
Cameron added that recent warnings from banks such as Lloyds and RBS, and from firms such as BP and Shell proved that the economic and financial risks of independence were not bluff and bluster or bullying.
He cited warnings from José Manuel Barroso, the outgoing president of the European commission, that an independent Scotland would find it very hard to smoothly join the EU. "These are not political puppets, they are serious, non-partisan figures," he said.
"So the idea that these are empty warnings and political scaremongering is a myth – and we owe it to the people of Scotland to take that myth apart."
Nicola Sturgeon, the Scottish deputy first minister, said Cameron's promises were "half-hearted, vague suggestions of what might happen", and that Cameron's reluctance to commit to anything "spoke volumes".
"Indeed, the only reason the Tories are even talking about more powers is to attempt to bribe the people of Scotland into voting no – but it is unravelling fast," she said. "The no camp is clearly getting increasingly rattled, as recent polls show more and more people are moving to yes."

I finally managed to get my HTC Hero to share the 3G connection with my MacBook Pro! In order to do that I used an app called PDANet that had to be installed on the phone and on my Mac, I would have preferred to do it with no additional apps but I needed to root my phone to do that.
Here's the speed test of the connection:
I am currently using the connection to update my Mac and iPad and so far everything is going fine it should take 2 hours to download the 1GB update and for Lebanon that's not bad!
Once all my devices are updated I'll probably review iOS 5 and the new iCloud services.

Dell buying back its stock and going private
Well that interesting news.
I think it has to do with their ability to utilize cheaper manufacturing methods. Without the shareholder pressure they can now move to using factories that utilize child labor, etc. This will enable them to start undercutting competitor pricing. That's what Dell has always been famous for, cheaper pricing. I never in the past purchased a Dell because it was "quality". They may have gotten some awards during their run up but really, for those that remember, it's always been a priced based company. Not as bad as say Packard Bell was (or crappard bell), but definitely a cheap ready made product for those people that didn't know how to make it themselves.
I hope this doesn't precipitate a worldwide shortage of crow.
It would be perfect irony if all those shareholders used their buyout money to purchase Apple stock.
Would love to post the "Ha-ha" meme graphic.
Wait. Dell has shareholders? If that's the case, don't bother to give their money back; they're too stupid to know what to do with it.

Pokémon Gold and Silver
this wiki
|Pokémon Gold and Silver
American cover box art.
|Game Freak
| Nintendo
The Pokémon Company
|Role-playing game
Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver are the second installments of the Pokémon series of role-playing video games developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Color. The series featured a new region entitled Johto and introduces a century of new Pokémon. Pokémon Crystal was created as a sequel to the games. A remake of these games was released for the Nintendo DS known as Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. Unlike Pokémon Red and Blue, this game has time and the seven days of the week. You can catch certain Pokémon at night, and on some days there will be events.
The gameplay remains mostly consistent from Red and Blue. There are a few major changes. The first is the introduction of Steel and Dark types. Several moves also change type such as Bite turning from Normal to Dark. The second is there is now a Special Defense stat instead of Special being combined. This redistributes the stats of the older pokemon and make Psychic types less powerful. The EVs, IVs and stat boosts however, apply to both Special Attack and Special Defense. The third major addition is breeding. This allows the player to create more on Nonlegendary pokemon. It also introduces Baby Pokemon, pre-evolutions of existing Pokemon that come from the Pokemon's egg. They tend to evolve from, happiness, another new mechanic introduced.
In addition to the base level changes, the game also introduces 100 new Pokemon, a new region with 8 new gym leaders and the ability to return to Kanto and battle all those gyms and their changes from the original games. A new Pokeball crafting mechanic was introduced, introducing several new kinds of Pokeballs. The real time clock brought several time based mechanics like different Pokemon depending on the time of day and different events based on the day of the week. The pokegear had a radio, which allowed the player to change the music and gave hints to getting Pokemon, and the phone, which let people challenge trainers they faced before as well as hints to getting certain Pokemon.
To let players access their old Pokemon from Red and Blue, the added a special section to the Link functions where the player could trade with past games. The only restrictions were that only the 151 original Pokemon could be traded, no items and no new moves.
The boy's dream is to defeat the Pokémon League and become the best Pokémon trainer.
At the beginning of his adventure for the Johto and Kanto regions, the protagonist receives PokéGear and his Pokémon as Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile. The first task entrusts him to go to Pokémon to retrieve an object, which will prove to be a Togepi egg. A Pokémon home will meet Professor Oak who entrusts the mission of completing the Pokédex, an encyclopedia that can gather information about the Pokémon 251 available in the game.
To gain access to the Pokémon League in the region, the protagonist will have to win the medals of the eight chiefs of the Johto region. Once defeated the Elitfour will be able to go to the Kanto region where he will have to win eight other medals in order to gain access to Red's Mount Silver.

This module features two echo delay effect circuits based around the Dwarf Star Semi Modular system. With this module users can add awesome delay fx to any synth level signal. Every one of the parameters has CV control with its own attenuators. There are three parameters for each channel. The two echo fx circuits are mirrored on the front panel: Channel A and Channel B.
The fx processing was meticulously tweaked for clean fx processing. When the feedback is turned all the way clockwise it will not go into trashy harsh territory. Users can however patch a cv input to the 'REPEAT' parameter, and have the RCV attenuator all the way clockwise, and force it to feedback into harsh craziness. There is not a switch jack on the input jacks. But all the CV jacks have switch jack internal connections. This allows users to modulate both channels with only the the Channel A side. For real independent patching on each separate channel just patch anything into the corresponding Channel B jack. The Kill toggle switches kill the dry signal input being fed into the pt2399 fx chip. It will still allow echo trails to keep going until they die out. So this isn't just a mute switch to suddenly cut the echo trails in half.

Our weight determines a lot about our health. That's why a lot of us dedicate a lot of time and effort in order to maintain our weight. We have a lot of exercise regimens to as well as a number of different diets to follow in order to maintain a healthy weight.
Some people are having difficulty losing weight no matter how much they exercise or how strict their diet is. If this is also happening to you, then you might be suffering from Thyroid Disease. Today, we will look into detail on what a thyroid disease is, as well as its symptoms in order get the necessary treatment.
About Thyroid Disease
Image Courtesy of thyroid.com.au
The thyroid is a gland in our frontal neck area below the Adam's apple that is responsible for producing certain hormones that our body needs. These hormones help regulate our body's ability to burn calories effectively, and thus maintaining our body's metabolism. The amount of these hormones determine our ability to change our weight, thus it is important that proper levels of these hormones are maintained inside our body.
Thyroid disease causes these hormones to fluctuate in their levels. If your levels of these hormones are way above the amount that your body needs, then you might have problems in gaining weight. If your hormone levels are lower, on the other hand, then you will have difficulties in losing weight.
Symptoms and Signs of Thyroid Disease
There are many types of thyroid disease, including, Hypothyroidism, Hyperthyroidism, Goiter, Thyroiditis, and Thyroid Nodules. The symptoms of these types of thyroid disease are similar to one another in how they affect the body. Here are some of the signs and symptoms that can be attributed to thyroid disease:
- Nervousness and Unexplained Agitation
- Poor Concentration
- Feeling Bloated
- Muscle Aches
- Sudden Weight Gain or Loss
- High Cholesterol Levels
- Non-Comfort ability on Increased Temperatures
- Feeling Cold
If you are experiencing one of these symptoms, added to the fact that you cannot seem to lose weight even if you already tried various methods, then it is advisable to go to your physician to get diagnosis and treatment.
There are a few places you can go to in order to get the necessary help, especially if you are situated near the Voorhees NJ area. It is advisable to get the help of a physician as soon as possible in order to know if you are indeed suffering from a thyroid disease, and get the treatment you need.
If you have been struggling for years to lose weight with tiresome exercise and every fad diet that comes out with little success, then it might be a sign that you do indeed have a thyroid problem. The thyroid is responsible for regulating our body's weight due to the hormones that it releases. These hormones affect our weight through the regulation of the body's metabolism. If there is a change in the level of hormone levels, we might not be able to lose or gain weight effectively.
Thus, it's important to look for signs and symptoms that may be related to thyroid disease in order for us to get the treatment we need. It's not that difficult to get for a physician to find out if you have a problem with your thyroid. Doctors do have medical solutions that can solve your thyroid problems so you can go back to living your life before you had these weight issues. Do you have similar symptoms where you think you would have a thyroid problem?

Sebastian- The Target
Chapter Three-
He leaned against the lockers for ten minutes or so before he spotted her. Holding back a gasp, he stared at the figure passing by him. She was tall for a girl, he realized. He assumed that she was at least 5'6". Her hair was dark brown, the same color as Fynn's, and her eyes were a steely gray color. Sebastian had never seen a picture of her before, but his father had told him before he left this morning that he'd know who she was when he saw her.
He knew now what that meant; the girl stood out among the other mortals. She was seemingly quieter, keener, more mysterious, and to an experienced eye like Sebastian's, obviously a dangerous opponent. Since she had grown up in a mortal household, she was sure not to be trained with weapons. However, her brain would be hard-wired for battle strategy.
It was that reason, among many others, that Sebastian had to kill her. She could easily have the power to stop any plans that his father had, and that couldn't happen.
Shifting against the locker, Sebastian watched the girl closely as she paused at the door, her hand gripping the metal bar that opened it. She glanced around the hallway with a confused expression, and for a heart-stopping moment, he thought that she had seen or heard him. After a few seconds of looking around, though, she shook her head and walked out the door.
The door shut behind her and Sebastian stepped out of the shadows. He smiled to himself; the first part of his plan had been successful. He had finally caught sight of his target, and now knew what he was up against without being caught.
As he pulled his cloak off, the smile on his face widened. "It won't be long now," he whispered to himself. "Once she's dead, no-one will be able to stop us. We'll rule the world once and for all."

The Carpet Hides The Truth
I wonder if anyone will ever find him.
He had left me tainted and unloved on the red carpet of his spotless apartment. Funny how his carpet was full of stains in comparison to his almost perfect life.
I wonder what my parents will think when they find me? If they ever find me. I hope they make it through the search for me.
I had only gone over because we were having an argument over our relationship and he had suggested speaking face to face. He was never one for confrontations.
I feel a weatherless chill and I wonder if it is the blood that is seeping from my body into the all ready stained carpet. I can almost feel the memory of the thick, warm fluid as it escaped from my unmoving body; now a corpse.
I walk around the platform that I have magically appeared on, trying to figure out my location. How did I come about this area when the last thing my eyes had seen was Jake's still, calculating body on the coach in front of me.
My parents had never liked him, but I had come to his rescue every time. My friends had told me of his insane ways and of his unrealistic behavior. I was blinded by love, can there be any better defense?
I had been twenty-five when I had met him in a park near my house a year ago. I was with my friend Sandra and she had been the first one to notice how cute he was.
The fog that is blinding me is stifling and I wonder if I will ever be able to feel the freedom of an unblocked vision.
His first present for me had been a little brown bear with my name, Kelly, stitched in the center beside a heart. His answers at the dinner table at home were unsettling, but yet, I couldn't see any malicious intents. I simply loved him.
I touch my black hair and am surprise to feel the soft, dry long strands of hair as it flows down my back in puddles of ivory. Wasn't it wet with the tears of a broken life before? The red had tainted me enough that I was blind to his following blows. I am sure that the mess I left behind must not have been easy for him.
I wonder if I was the first.
Or if I will be the last.
I hear a long whistle in the distance and I go near the edge, much like I had done when I was a child. I had always loved trying to see the bringer of my curiosity; the vessel for some of the greatest adventures in life sometimes comes too slow and we must take a peek!
I close my eyes after seeing a tiny light in the distance and try to remember what my family had looked like. My mother, with her waves of black hair, had a smile that had dispelled the darkness of my childhood nightmares. My poor father, sick of not having a son, but instead a daughter who had been enough of a fool to get defeated by the lover she trusted most.
The train is now closer and I can see a silhouette through the fog. I move slowly backwards, so as to not be too close and then stop short, reminding myself that now I have no reason to fear death.
I wonder if he will ever be caught; the murderer who took my life away from me; who took a daughter away from a family. A murderer whose carpet looked too dirty to be part of his falsely pure life.
The train stops in front of me and a handsome man smiles at me from within.
"Hey Kelly, welcome; may I take you to your next destination?"
I sigh and ask the only question that appears in my head at that moment. "Will my parents be okay?"
He nods and beckons me into the train. I oblige with one last look behind me.
What a messy world I leave behind me.

If you're one of those people who puts tomatoes in the fridge, you are going to want to stop. Now.
Sure, chilling a tomato will keep it looking fresh for a longer period of time than if you left it on the counter, but it will also drain all that earthy, slightly grassy, distinctive tomato taste right out of the fruit. (And, yes, tomato is a fruit.)
Scientists and foodies have known for some time that cooling tomatoes is detrimental to their flavor, but they were not exactly sure why — until now.
According to new a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, when a tomato's environment drops below 68 degrees, the genes responsible for making it taste like a tomato get turned off.
"Basically, the tomato gets cold and tells itself to stop making these aroma compounds," said Denise Tieman, a research associate professor at the Plant Innovation Center at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
"The change is irreversible," she added.
Tieman has been studying the science of tomato flavor for at least a decade. Previously she discovered that tomatoes taste the way they do because of a combination of sugars, acids and a collection of chemicals that scientists call volatile compounds or aroma compounds.
"Aroma compounds are what you smell, and they make up the wonderful part of the flavor," Tieman said. "The sugars and acids are what you taste on the tongue, but there would be no excitement to the flavor without the aroma compounds."
In previous work, the authors had shown that a refrigerated tomato has the same amount of sugars and acids as a freshly picked tomato, but significantly less aroma compounds.
The first experiments in the new study were designed to determine how long it takes for a tomato to start losing its aromatic chemicals. The group compared tomatoes that had been chilled for one, three and seven days to those that had just been picked. They found that tomatoes that had been chilled for seven days showed the least number of volatiles, but that even after three days of chilling there was still a significant decrease in the number of aroma compounds compared with a freshly picked tomato.
In a taste test, volunteers rated the chilled tomatoes as less tasty than fresh tomatoes.
Further experiments revealed that the proteins responsible for assembling the aroma compounds were less abundant in chilled tomatoes than in freshly picked tomatoes. Further analysis revealed that the genes that code for these aroma compounds are turned off in a process called methylation when a tomato stays in a chilly environment for too long.
Tieman said the research team doesn't know why a tomato turns off its flavor genes when it gets cold. She suggested tomatoes in nature might have evolved to conserve energy when it's cold, but added that is only a guess.
In the meantime, the group's next step is to look for tomato varieties that are tolerant to chilling. Even if consumers can be convinced to keep their tomatoes out of the fridge, most tomatoes at the supermarket are chilled at a distribution center, and then again at the store to keep them looking pretty enough for purchase.
"I don't think we can change the whole tomato production network, but we could suggest varieties that can handle the cold without losing so much flavor," Tieman said.

I planted about 10 of these in the gravel on my patio last year. I left only 1 in situ and re-planted the rest in compost in my raised beds to protect them. They've all come through unscathed so I will plant them out again. They look great on the ground surrounded by gravel.

Book Review - Theda Bara, My Mentor by Joan Craig
Theda Bara is one of the most iconic stars of all time. If you bring up the famous stars of the Silent Era, she is certainly one of the very first names that comes up. Unfortunately, while her image may be familiar to many, her acting and the lightning impact she made on society is not. Time has not been kind to her nitrate films, most are lost. Mysterious and intriguing, she became the Vamp, THE sex symbol of the era. Even though she was active a mere decade, she has an amazing 44 credits to her name.

RIP Robert Osborne
|TCM Press Release; Source
I haven't posted a lot lately because my life is in turmoil, but I had to post about losing TCM's Robert Osborne today. As with many classic film lovers, TCM is a staple, and often, our first exposure to classic films and vintage life. Robert Osborne has been a fixture on the channel for decades. I can't think of the channel without him. The past few years, Robert has been rarely seen on the channel. In retrospect, I imagine he was quite ill, even though they never specifically stated the reason for the lack of appearances. I haven't been able to quite connect well with the newer hosts the same way as with Robert Osborne. I imagine it's because he really feels like one of the last links to the Golden Age of Hollywood. Yes, Ben Mankiewicz has the pedigree, but I can't imagine him sitting to a meal with Bette Davis and John Wayne. I hope TCM has success in the future, but how do you capture the same knowledge and wit that Robert Osborne had? I don't know. So I hope Robert Osborne enjoys the great movie palace in the sky. The films must be amazing.

Constance's Cosmetics
Constance Bennett seems to have had a bit of a beauty empire. Today it seems like every celebrity has a beauty line, from Drew Barrymore's Flower Beauty to what seems like the millionth Britney Spears or J.Lo perfume, celebrities have been in the beauty products game from the beginning. The footage of Constance using her products survives and is incredibly intriguing. Unfortunately it appears to be one of the sole surviving remnants. Bennett's beauty empire lasted approximately a decade - an amazing feat since she began her empire during the Great Depression. According to the author of The Bennetts, Constance was great at coming up with ideas, but terrible at implementation. At one point she franchised the product. The company apparently did a horrible job and ruined the brand's reputation. Constance and Co. re branded, but was unable to recover from it.
