Then, a roll call of husbands:

• She married Conrad Hilton Jr., son of the hotel magnate, in May 1950 at age 18. The marriage ended in divorce that December.

• When she married British actor Michael Wilding in February 1952, he was 39 to her 19. They had two sons, Michael Jr. and Christopher Edward. That marriage lasted 4 years.

• She married cigar-chomping movie producer Michael Todd, also 20 years her senior, in 1957. They had a daughter, Elizabeth Francis. Todd was killed in a plane crash in 1958.

• The best man at the Taylor-Todd wedding was Fisher. He left his wife Debbie Reynolds to marry Taylor in 1959. She converted to Judaism before the wedding.

• Taylor and Fisher moved to London, where she was making "Cleopatra." She met Burton, who also was married. That union produced her fourth child, Maria.

• After her second marriage to Burton ended, she married John Warner, a former secretary of the Navy, in December 1976. Warner was elected a U.S. senator from Virginia in 1978. They divorced in 1982.

• In October 1991, she married Larry Fortensky, a truck driver and construction worker she met while both were undergoing treatment at the Betty Ford Center in 1988. He was 20 years her junior. The wedding, held at the ranch of Michael Jackson, was a media circus that included the din of helicopter blades, a journalist who parachuted to a spot near the couple and a gossip columnist as official scribe.

Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born in London on Feb. 27, 1932, the daughter of Francis Taylor, an art dealer, and the former Sara Sothern, an American stage actress. At age 3, with extensive ballet training already behind her, Taylor danced for British princesses Elizabeth (the future queen) and Margaret Rose at London's Hippodrome. At age 4, she was given a wild field horse that she learned to ride expertly.

At the onset of World War II, the Taylors came to the United States. Francis Taylor opened a gallery in Beverly Hills and, in 1942, his daughter made her screen debut with a bit part in the comedy "There's One Born Every Minute."

Her big break came soon thereafter. While serving as an air-raid warden with MGM producer Sam Marx, Taylor's father learned that the studio was struggling to find an English girl to play opposite Roddy McDowall in "Lassie Come Home." Taylor's screen test for the film won her both the part and a long-term contract. She grew up quickly after that.

Still in school at 16, she would dash from the classroom to the movie set where she played passionate love scenes with Robert Taylor in "Conspirator."

"I have the emotions of a child in the body of a woman," she once said. "I was rushed into womanhood for the movies. It caused me long moments of unhappiness and doubt."

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/23/elizabeth-taylor-dead_n_839435.html

The London-born actress was a star at age 12, a bride and a divorcee at 18, a superstar at 19 and a widow at 26. She was a screen sweetheart and martyr later reviled for stealing Eddie Fisher from Debbie Reynolds, then for dumping Fisher to bed Burton, a relationship of epic passion and turbulence, lasting through two marriages and countless attempted reconciliations.

She was also forgiven. Reynolds would acknowledge voting for Taylor when she was nominated for "Butterfield 8" and decades later co-starred with her old rival in "These Old Broads," co-written by Carrie Fisher, the daughter of Reynolds and Eddie Fisher.

Taylor's ailments wore down the grudges. She underwent at least 20 major operations and she nearly died from a bout with pneumonia in 1990. In 1994 and 1995, she had both hip joints replaced, and in February 1997, she underwent surgery to remove a benign brain tumor. In 1983, she acknowledged a 35-year addiction to sleeping pills and pain killers. Taylor was treated for alcohol and drug abuse problems at the Betty Ford Clinic in Rancho Mirage, Calif.

Her troubles bonded her to her peers and the public, and deepened her compassion. Her advocacy for AIDS research and for other causes earned her a special Oscar, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, in 1993.

As she accepted it, to a long ovation, she declared, "I call upon you to draw from the depths of your being â€" to prove that we are a human race, to prove that our love outweighs our need to hate, that our compassion is more compelling than our need to blame."

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/23/elizabeth-taylor-dead_n_839435.html

She played enough bawdy women on film for critic Pauline Kael to deem her "Chaucerian Beverly Hills."

But her defining role, one that lasted long past her moviemaking days, was "Elizabeth Taylor," ever marrying and divorcing, in and out of hospitals, gaining and losing weight, standing by Michael Jackson, Rock Hudson and other troubled friends, acquiring a jewelry collection that seemed to rival Tiffany's.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/23/elizabeth-taylor-dead_n_839435.html

Their romance created such a sensation that the Vatican denounced the happenings as the "caprices of adult children."

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/23/elizabeth-taylor-dead_n_839435.html

"We have just lost a Hollywood giant," said Elton John, a longtime friend of Taylor. "More importantly, we have lost an incredible human being."

Taylor was the most blessed and cursed of actresses, the toughest and the most vulnerable. She had extraordinary grace, wealth and voluptuous beauty, and won three Academy Awards, including a special one for her humanitarian work. She was the most loyal of friends and a defender of gays in Hollywood when AIDS was still a stigma in the industry and beyond. But she was afflicted by ill health, failed romances (eight marriages, seven husbands) and personal tragedy.

"I think I'm becoming fatalistic," she said in 1989. "Too much has happened in my life for me not to be fatalistic."

Her more than 50 movies included unforgettable portraits of innocence and of decadence, from the children's classic "National Velvet" and the sentimental family comedy "Father of the Bride" to Oscar-winning transgressions in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and "Butterfield 8." The historical epic "Cleopatra" is among Hollywood's greatest on-screen fiascos and a landmark of off-screen monkey business, the meeting ground of Taylor and Richard Burton, the "Brangelina" of their day.

Elizabeth Taylor Dead: Actress Dies At 79

Legendary actress Elizabeth Taylor has died at age 79.

Taylor had been hospitalized in February for congestive heart failure, a condition she learned she had in 2004. A two time Oscar winner (for "Butterfield 8" in 1960 and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" in 1966), Taylor was also known for her eight high profile marriages.

Yes it was. Why do you ask?

just curious if there are naturally white elephants (i mean that there's no absence of melanin in their skin pigmentation like albinos, as there are white cats and white bears).  by the way, i found this:

Albinism is found in the ratio of about 1 in every 20,000 camels, snakes, crows, monkeys, lizards, and also human beings. However, a fully albino (white) elephant has not been observed yet though partially albino elephant is sometimes passed as white elephant. The people of Burma and Thailand revere such elephants as divine creatures. They are given royal treatment and not put to work. Perhaps that is why a thing or a person that is the cause of expenditure only without earning its keep is called a ‘white elephant’!

A white elephant is "a burdensome possession; creating more trouble than it is worth".

Origin of the idiom

White (albino) elephants were regarded as holy in ancient times in Thailand and other Asian countries. Keeping a white elephant was a very expensive undertaking, since the owner had to provide the elephant with special food and provide access for people who wanted to worship it. If a Thai King became dissatisfied with a subordinate, he would give him a white elephant. The gift would, in most cases, ruin the recipient.

References to Indian and Thai veneration of white elephants dates back to at least the early 17th century. The first reference in English to the idiomatic meaning of the term 'white elephant' comes in 1851 G. E. Jewbury's Letters, 1892:

"His services are like so many white elephants, of which nobody can make use, and yet that drain one's gratitude, if indeed one does not feel bankrupt."

http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/410050.html

was this elephant an albino?

But even as a country waited anxiously to see what would happen at the crippled reactor site, ordinary Japanese quietly came to one another's rescue. Just hours after a fire at the Daiichi complex, Kichi Ishikawa drove deserted roads not far from the plant to deliver noodles to the needy. "I'm just doing what needs to be done," he said. "It's nothing special." For Kenichi Numata, there was little time to even explain his actions, much less process his own sorrow. After the earthquake, he and 1,600 others dashed to the airport in Sendai, the region's largest city, and watched as dozens perished in the surrounding tide of mud and debris. Numata knew that his house had been swept away by the tidal wave. But he had a self-imposed task: organizing dazed locals trying to figure out whether their missing family members might be alive. Just in the past few hours, he had told several people their kin had died. It was not an easy job. "I'm sorry," he said, bowing deeply in apology. "But I had better go back to work."

A sense of order, moreover, is not confined just to government manuals. In the wake of the disaster, there has been no looting, no rioting. Even as people hoping for food, water and fuel wait in kilometer-long lines in freezing weather â€" sometimes without success â€" tempers have not flared. Rationing of basic supplies has been accepted with few complaints. The assumption is that everybody has to share the pain equally. At Masuda Middle School, one of hundreds of emergency centers housing some 450,000 homeless people, the loudspeaker emitted a crescendo of friendly announcements. "Please come enjoy your piping hot rice now," went one. "Please be alert to the fact that the fish roe is a bit spicy, so it may not be suitable for small children," went another. In the emergency shelter at Koizumi Middle School, people not used to wearing shoes indoors constructed origami boxes made of newspaper in which to nestle their footwear.

Nevertheless, despite the cost and loss of life, Japan's ultra-sophisticated earthquake-and-tsunami-alert system increased the odds for everyone. Survivors I met told versions of the same story. The earthquake unleashed its fury. Then because of radio broadcasts, text messages, sirens, firemen's door-to-door calls and just plain instinct honed by years of disaster drills at school, people from towns and villages along the coast â€" Japan's population is concentrated in an often narrow coastal plain â€" immediately fled to higher ground.

***

Japan is the only country on the planet with an earthquake early-warning system in place. It is also the only one with a truly successful tsunami-alert scheme â€" 300 earthquake sensors scattered in territorial waters that can predict the likelihood of a tsunami in minutes. Tsunami evacuation routes are posted up and down the coast. When the government says to evacuate, the Japanese people listen.

Marooned on the edge of a continent and perched on one of the most seismically active spots on earth, Japan, for all its modern comforts and luxuries, is a country that lives on the brink of disaster. Even its language is a testament to how this sense of precariousness has shaped the national consciousness. I say this as someone who is half Japanese and should know how to articulate a nation's mind-set. But even I find it hard to define gaman, a unique mix of endurance and self-abnegation that practically all people I spoke to in the disaster zone used to describe their situations. Or what about shoganai, which is often translated too simply as "There's nothing you can do"?

That's not quite right. The fatalism implied in the phrase denotes not just a helplessness at life's vagaries but also a calm determination to overcome what cannot be controlled. Even those who never lived through Japan's last days of privation during World War II know what is required of them as Japanese citizens. "We, the young generation, will unite and work hard to get over this tragedy," says Mamiko Shimizu, a 24-year-old graduate student. "It's now our time to rebuild Japan."

Koji Haga wasn't just near the tsunami that devastated northern Japan on March 11. He was on top of it. Somehow the fishing-boat captain kept his pitching vessel upright as the churning force of the wave attacked the shore, turning his coastal community of Akaushi into a graveyard of rubble and probably killing upwards of 10,000 people in the country's north. I met him barely 24 hours after he'd returned to the spot where his house once stood. Aside from the roof, which landed not far from his building's foundations, there was nothing recognizable that remained of his home. A few mementos were scattered in the kaleidoscopic wreckage: his waterlogged family albums were lodged in the axle of an upturned car, while his daughter's pink stuffed animal lay face down in the mud.

Haga ignored most of these keepsakes. His first priority was scooping up sodden rice to take back to his hungry family and neighbors, who had escaped the wave by scrambling to higher ground. Yet even as the fisherman packed the ruined grain into a sack, he displayed the fortitude and generosity that have so defined this devastated region of Japan. Haga was embarrassed that the rice was spoiled, but he invited me to take some. A neighbor had found a bottle of grain alcohol bobbing in a fetid pool. Would I like a fortifying gulp? The next day, Haga would join Akaushi's other survivors to begin the slow clearing and reconstruction of a village virtually wiped off the map. "We'll all try our best to do this together," he said, not a note of pity in his voice. "That's the Japanese way, isn't it?"  (from Aftermath: How Japan Will Recover from the Quake by Hannah Beech, Time Magazizne, Thursday, Mar. 17, 2011)

the excerpts (underscoring/highlighting mine):

The 9.0 quake that hit Japan on March 11 was powerful enough to shift the earth on its axis and make it spin a little faster, shortening the day by 1.8 millionths of a second. It shoved the island nation one parking space to the east. But what felt like the end was just the beginning.

The sturdy buildings that survived the quake were ravaged by the wave that followed. The three-story wall of water dissolved coastal towns, dry-docked boats on the roofs of buildings and shuffled houses like playing cards. There were so many aftershocks that people stopped diving under tables. Those who made it safely to higher ground waited in the dark, in the cold, in lines that stretched for hours for water and food.  In a society seen as the most stoic on earth, the closest thing to chaos was a man cutting in line.  (from The Day the Earth Moved by Nancy Gibbs, Time Magazine, Monday, Mar. 28, 2011)

first, the facts:

fact 1:  japan is the world’s no. 1 when it comes to disaster preparedness.  we are nowhere near that as pluto is to the sun.
 
fact 2:  the philippines, like japan, sits on the ring of fire (geologically, the linear zone of seismic and volcanic activity that coincides in general with the margins of the pacific plate - dictionary.infoplease.com).  japan sits on four fault lines, the philippines sits on five fault lines.  

1)  Marikina Valley Fault (Montalban-San Mateo-Marikina-Pasig-Taguig-Muntinlupa-S… Pedro-Binan-Carmona-Santa  
    Rosa-Calamba-Tagaytay-Oriental Mindoro)
2)  Western Philippine Fault (Luzon Sea-Mindoro Strait-Panay Gulf-Sulu Sea)
3)  Eastern Philippine Fault (Philippine Sea)
4)  Southern Mindanao Fault (Moro Gulf-Celebes Sea)
5)  Central Philippine Fault (Entire Ilocos Norte-Aurora-Quezon-Masbate-Eastern Leyte-Southern Leyte-Agusan Del Norte-
    Agusan Del Sur-Davao del Norte)

Of these, the MARIKINA VALLEY FAULT poses the greatest danger because it cuts through all the modern and progressive portions of Manila such as Eastwood, Rockwell, Ortigas Center, Bonifacio Global City, Ayala Center, and Alabang.   Also, the PhiVolcs people have warned that this fault line can move anytime because it is already "11 years late" for its movement.  (note:  this blog was written two years ago.)



fact 3:  Only the western seaboard of Luzon, including Manila, is predicted to be submerged in water.  Manila is sinking into the ocean by 6 centimeters per year because of the Marikina Fault Line.  By 2030, Manila will be like Venice, if proper measures aren't implemented.

but may i share excerpts of articles (great essays, in my opinion) whose points made me not only think but also truly believe that what works for other countries (japan, in this case) can work for our country too.  for who can deny that we can learn and take on the good in other nations as we continue to develop and move with the times? 

naturally, other nations could learn something from us as well.   we are great at coping with tragedies, for one, such that the smiles and humor from those who underwent the disaster that was typhoon pepe last year had impressed and stumped the foreigners who came to help. 

(self-flagellation, this tendency to look down on ourselves and to speak ill of ourselves such that we are sometimes dubbed by the western press as a country with an inferiority complex, isn’t one of our best traits and obviously isn’t worth emulating.)

i don't mean those high-tech gizmos nor advanced infrastructures that our country could ill afford or could only open more avenues for corruption.  and that's aside from the names and faces of politicians that may be plastered on these infrastructures...  (no use ruing over that; we deserve these elected officials anyway for voting them into office.)

kinsa man tawoy nangabayot?  ibig sabihin, macho ni sila sa una? 

(p.s. some of my closest friends are bayots.  they're great persons save for a very few who haven't accepted what they are and thus they tend to make it difficult for their well-meaning friends to get along with them.)

maghuwat ko sa sunod gimmick sa mandaue.  nabantog pod ning siyudara sa ilang anay nga nagbakya.  makahunahuna ba kaha sila ug kinadak-ang anay o kinadak-ang bakya o ang duha dunganon?

tanang lalaki nga active sa tb masulod gyod sa liki aning biggest bibingka sa mandaue.

panahon na nga maghunahuna pod ang jagna ug kinadak-ang kalamay.  ang bagol na lay asa pangitaon.

Katuod diay kas amo? 

wa, pero sureness ko daghang kapangutan-an; bisan kinsa nga pari, bisan kinsa pa tingali nga church worker, or mobalik lang ko sa thread sa imong ordination and trace the name of your parents.  gawas pa, daghan kog mapalihog.

Pwede pud paresan og cat candle holder nga sama aning Egyptian ang motif...

what a beauty!  naa pay ankh.  makapalit ba ta ani sa ebay or amazon or whatever?  someone's going to teach me how to make orders through the internet next week.  it would be great to have this as my first and last order.

Samples of simple cat candles for Ms. Isle...

this is encouraging.  asa kaha ko mangita ug molds nga kittens.  kini siya kay gi-hand paint ang features, including those pinkish ears.  they look great.  if ever i have this, i would never, never use it except as decor.

Anhi na lang ko order nimo para sa akong Votive Shrine Ms. Isles!!! Nice job!!! 

padad-an lang ta ka, fr chic.  no orders necessary.  mahimo pod nga akong ihatod sa inyo sa tagbilaran karong december.  take your pick.  makalipay ning kandila nga idagkot ug simbahan, di lang kun ting blackout.  (tapad namong balay sa una nasunog tungod ug kandila kay nag-blackout unya mga bata ray nabilin.  hapit mi maapil, tsk, tsk.)

Botoy is way too modest to even think of it... 

ahhh, modesty in frog's clothing... it cannot hide a bat.

back to dubai world, these islands were indeed meant as the ultimate in luxury real estate.  even if we could afford to buy into it (highly unlikely, hehe), we couldn't because it was meant as an "invitation only" property ownership.  the likes of brad pitt and angelina jolie were invited. 

what an address, if things turned out well without the recession.  what's your residential address?  oh, you couldn't miss it.  it's antartica, the world, dubai, united arab emirates.

watch out for panglao isles, panglao, bohol, philippines.  (time to have my nickname patented.)    

and to think that it was constructed with the best engineers and architects in the world up front.  by the way, i read some years back that dubai urban planners (most of whom are british) went to bohol to consult with local government officials. is this panglao island reclamation an offshoot of such consultation?

Calling Islander! Please, donate your homemade candles...

lajo ra ko, sorry.  manghumot gyod unta ang police precincts kay arang kahumot sa akong mga kandila.  too bad mas mahal pa ang forwarding kaysa kandila mismo.

Bwahaha! Sa akong paminaw negosyohon ni ni Ms. Isle...

uy, nevah!  di mahalin tawon no?  arang mahala kun kwentahon ang materials, especially the beeswax and the scents, and labor costs.  way mopalit.  maayo pa ako na lay gamit.  di pa manimahong taeg iring among balay, hahaha!

(as for the taeg iring, solved na kana with a cat litter deodorizer, hehe.  pa-epek na lang ang candles.)

si louie oppus kay taga-ato ni, taga baclayon.  maayo ning tawo.  he used to be the drummer of a high school singing group at the then divine word college.  i personally know him as a gentleman in the true sense of the word. 

i don't know how true, but during his stint in tagbilaran city some years back, it is said that crime was at its lowest.  as he couldn't get along with mayor dan lim for one reason or other (mostly other), the mayor had him assigned elsewhere.  that's why he's in cebu.

that's the downside of local executives having authority over the pnp, no thanks to pimentel for coming up with the local government code.

I guess he's too proud of his organ to even consider a tattoo...

okay then.  well taken.  just curious... there is nothing in the body of the article about this guy's pride in his organ.  he just hates the feel of clothes on his skin.  it makes me wonder why he does not hate the feel of the cover on his little member or the hat on his head. 

question:  is the title of this thread the title of the article, or is it botoy's own turn of phrase?

The sentimentalist speaks...

someone's reading my thoughts...

heaven help us.  we can only pray.

hahaaayyy.  no, i don't like it.  if that naked pianist who's proud of his organ (in another thread) will dunk rock, it could be another story.  just another story; i still won't like it.  if that were a toilet bowl instead of a basketball hoop, i might change my mind.

i'd rather believe that it's more of cleansing than punishment.  i cannot imagine a just god who's been guiding us on the road to salvation since the beginning of time to be so cruel as to punish his own creation with destruction.  it is easier to believe that we are punishing ourselves by not heeding his warnings.

do you think he's too old to even think of covering himself with a tattoo?

disaster preparedness by all means possible is worth believing in.  we may not escape going to the far beyond when it's our time, but it behooves on every human being to preserve life as we know it, including our own.

thankfully, we filipinos are more creative than we believe.  i will always remember those unknown heroes who went out of their way to save other lives, including lives of pets, during the metro manila disaster that was typhoon pepe.   

what a great take on the book of books.  thanks for this, botoy.

Very nice design, Islander. I have a friend in Thailand who makes candles as a hobby. Now she is exporting candles to Europe and America. Candles make her a millionaire.

thanks, tb.com.  that's very encouraging even if this early selling is beyond me.  so far i've given some of my candles to a few friends (these are such great gifts).  now they want to know the how-to.  in two weeks' time i'll be doing a demo.  (piskot ba ani, trying hard na hinoon ko nga ma-expert dayon kay pademo-demo na.)

Hmm. Maybe you can make candles in the shape of cats, in different positions.  Pwede ka magsugod og iring gatuwad unya siyempre ang pabilo naas lubot...

it would be easier to make a candle in hubag's shape, in different positions, honest.  ang pabilo siyempre...
