PIRATES!by Rick Dandes

They ruled the seven seas back in the 1600s and 1700s and even today are plundering sea vessels in international waters. They are pirates. From movies and books to real life, pirates fascinate people endlessly and probably always will. Tid-bits walks the plank this week, in honor of Na-tional Talk Like a Pirate Day observed on Sep-tember 19. • Although Hollywood pirates, such as Jack

Sparrow’s friends, like to grumble “arrr” or “arrrrgh” frequently, real pirates were not known to do so. Hollywood actor Robert Newton, who played Long John Silver in the 1950s, had a regional accent from the Cotswolds district of England where they like to roll the “r” a bit. However, your average real pirate did not.

• Pirates may have thrown men overboard, but no one was ever known to have “walked the plank.” Again, this one is a Hollywood myth.

• Lady Ching Shih of China became one of the most powerful pirates to have ever sailed the ocean blue. She commanded one of the most formidable pirate fleets in all of Asia during the early 1800s, with hundreds of ships under her command.

Q. Why do pirates always carry a bar of soap?

A. So if they’re shipwrecked, they can wash themselves to shore.

TIDBITS® LOOKS ATMORE NOTABLE WOMEN

by Kathy Wolfe

Politicians, entrepreneurs, athletes, performers and philanthropists — Women have made their mark in every walk of life. This week, Tidbits takes a closer look at some of the more notable ones.

• Before she was Coco, she was GabrielleBonheur Chanel, born in France in 1883. She opened a millinery shop in Paris in 1912 after a four-year career as a café singer. In 1922, she introduced a perfume, simply named Chanel No. 5, named such because a fortune teller had told her fivewas her lucky number. In 1926,she introduced the “little black dress” and was known for saying, “Fashion fades; only style remains the same.”

•AlthoughwomenwerenotgiventherighttovoteuntiltheNineteenthAmendmentwasratifiedin1920, women in the state of Montana had that right before ratification. In fact,Montana hadalreadyelectedtheU.S.Congress’firstwoman,Jeannette Rankin, in 1916. She is remembered as the only vote against entering World War II following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. She had also voted against the U.S. entry into World War I. She continued her anti-war stance for years to come, and in 1968, she led a demonstration march in Washington, D.C., protesting U.S. military action in Vietnam.

PICKS OF THE WEEK“The Expendables” (R) -- Let’s be clear fromjumpstreet: “The Expendables” is a bad mov-ie, unabashedly so, and that’s what makes it so much campy good fun. Sly Stallone and Com-pany have a ball-bouncingly awesome time in this loud, goofy homage to the One-Man Wreck-ingCrewflicksofthe1980s.Inadditiontothecameos by Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwar-zenegger,thefilmalsostarsJasonStatham,DolfLundgren, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Steve Austin and Randy Couture. The dialogue is corny, the explosions(andthepecs!)arehuge,andtheplotis irrelevant. Just pop some corn, crack open a brew, sit back and watch stuff blow up real good.

“Beauty and the Beast” (Two-Disc DiamondEdition)(G)--Disney’sclassictaleofabook-

ish young woman who tames the heart of a gloomy prince and teaches him to love again has been digi-tally restored with enhanced picture and sound. The two-disc set includes three versions of the movie: the original theatrical version, the special extended edi-tion, and the original storyboard version. Among the many special features is a sing-along mode, so you canchimeinalongwiththefilm.

“TheCompleteMetropolis”(NR)--Throughouttheyears there have been scores of home-video releas-esofFritzLang’s1927science-fictionmasterpiece-- all of them incomplete and the transfers usually taken from muddied public-domain prints. Thank-fully, a complete print of the filmwas discoveredin Buenos Aires and painstakingly restored by the Murnau Foundation -- including 23 minutes of foot-

age thought lost forever. Now, after nearly three-quartersofacentury,thepubliccanfinallysee-- in high definition -- “Metropolis” as it wasmeant to be experienced.

“ThePillarsoftheEarth”(NR)--Basedonthenovel by Ken Follett, this critically acclaimed miniseries of medieval intrigue and forbidden romance stars Ian McShane and Donald Suther-land. The construction of a massive “cathedral oflight”isthecenterpieceofthishistoricalfic-tion, which includes plenty of the Machiavellian machinations and bodice-ripping that fans of “The Tudors” and HBO’s “Rome” seem to de-light in.

NOTABLE WOMEN (continued):

• Twin sisters with unusually similar namesborn in 1918 went on to exactly the same profession. Esther Pauline Friedman and Pauline Esther Friedman both became advice columnists within months of each other. Esther Pauline was known for 56 years as Ann Landers, dispensing frank, sometimes controversial advice to millions of readers. Pauline Esther wrote under the byline Dear Abby for 39 years until she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. Although the sisters had a joint wedding ceremony on their 21st birthday, in later years, their competition created a rift in their relationship, and they didn’t have contact for many years.

•JournalistElizabethJaneCochrantookonthepen name of Nellie Bly to write for a Pittsburgh newspaper back in 1885 and concentrated her early efforts on the working conditions of female factory workers. When her editor reassigned her to the society and gardening sections, she rebelled and traveled to Mexico as a foreign correspondent. At age 23, she went undercover at a women’s insane asylum, faking insanity to probe reports of brutality attheNewYorkfacility.Afterenduringfilth,starvation and abuse for ten days, she penned an exposé that created such a racket that an additional $850,000 was dispatched to the


asylum in short order. At age 25, Bly undertook a triparound theworld reproducing thefictionaljourney of Phileas Fogg in Jules Verne’s “Around theWorld in80Days.”Shefinishedher24,899-mile trip in just over 72 days, actually meeting Jules Verne during a stop in France. After an early retirement from journalism, she invented and patented a steel barrel, whose design is still in use in today’s 55-gallon oil drums.

her career as a blonde model named Dianne Belmont in 1933 and landed a movie role shortly afterward in that year’s “Roman Scandals.” She adopted her trademarkredhairin1942attheadviceofMGMStudios. She and husband Desi Arnaz hit the small screen in 1951 when “I Love Lucy” made

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This year, instead of jumping into the whole holiday prep scene, move in a little at a time. You’ll appreciate the sense of control you’re more likely to enjoy.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The separation between the Bovine’s head and heart is never as far apart as it seems. Both senses work best when they come out of logic and honesty.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The best way to keep those pre-holiday pres-sures under control is to just say no to taking on new tasks while you’re still trying to work with a heap of others.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) News means a change might be on its way, but what does it hold? Don’t just ask ques-tions; make sure you get answers you can trust.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Old friends and new have one thing in com-mon: Both your longtime and newly minted pals have much wisdom to impart.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22)With time running out, this is a good time for you to show ‘em all what those Virgo super-organizational skills can do.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Librans and holidays are made for each other, especially if children and animals are going to be part of your joyous season.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Time is getting too short to allow a spat to taint the holiday season. Restart your rela-tionship and reschedule holiday fun times.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Seeking advice is laudable. You might learn far more than you thought you could. Stay with it.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Continuing to assess changes works toward your getting your new project up and ready. Trusted colleagues remain ready to help.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) That new situation needs a lot of attention, but it’s worth it. This is a very good time for you to involve the arts in what you do.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) It might be a good idea to slow your hectic holiday pace so that you don’t rush past what -- or who -- you’re hoping to rush toward.

BORN THIS WEEK: Others pick up on your confidence in yourself, which inspires others to believe in you and your special gifts.
