Jargon overdoses.
I've long felt that we should listen to people who have traditionally been shut out of the public conversation. But you don't have to do what they say. I'm thinking some of the discussion over the "Dallas Buyers Club" Oscars falls into the latter category.
Two pieces on the board today. This one compares Jared Leto's portrayal of a male-to-female transsexual to Hattie McDaniel's Mammy in "Gone With the Wind." And this one scolds the "Dallas Buyers Club" makeup artists (!!!) for acknowledging the "victims of AIDS" instead of the preferred nomenclature of "persons with AIDS." Hmm. Apparently these two brush-wielding wrongthinkers didn't get the 31-year-old memo, quoted within:
In 1983, 11 gay men with AIDS who were in Denver for the fifth Annual Gay and Lesbian Health Conference, gathered in a hotel room and composed a manifesto. The document, which became known as the Denver Principles, began:
We condemn attempts to label us as "victims," a term which implies defeat, and we are only occasionally "patients," a term which implies passivity, helplessness, and dependence upon the care of others. We are "People With AIDS."
(And capitalize the W, fuckers! The P, too!)
I recall when this discussion was going on, and my fallback position on nearly all these matters of nomenclature: Call people what they ask to be called. It's good manners. Frankly, in 1983 there wasn't a lot of difference between an AIDS victim and someone who simply had the disease, as it was terrifyingly fatal. But as time rolled on and the new drugs emerged, it made sense. Not everyone who had HIV/AIDS was a victim, but someone living with a (fingers crossed) chronic medical condition that could be managed and wasn't necessarily cause to put your affairs in order immediately. This passage overstates the importance of the language shift, I think —
Policing vocabulary is a tricky business—raising a stink about offensive nouns and incorrect pronouns can make outsiders feel defensive and annoyed—but there are times when it's absolutely essential, and this was one. A 328-word statement penned by a tiny group of guys on the fringes of a second-tier medical conference saved millions of lives around the globe, even though very few people have ever heard of it. That revolution began when the people at the center of the crisis declared that they were not victims.
— but OK, whatever.
The former piece, about Leto, is more obnoxious.
Not long from now — it surely won't take decades, given the brisk pace of progress on matters of identity and sexuality these days — Leto's award-winning performance as the sassy, tragic-yet-silly Rayon will belong in the dishonorable pantheon along with McDaniel's Mammy. That is, it'll be another moment when liberals in Hollywood, both in the industry and in the media, showed how little they understood or empathized with the lives of a minority they imagine they and Leto are honoring.
Hmm. OK, so make your case, then. The movie takes liberties with the facts, the writer contends, which makes it like about 99 percent of all fact-based filmed dramas; the plane carrying the Americans out of Tehran was not chased down the runway by Iranian soldiers, as it was in "Argo." Hollywood requires drama; real life isn't sufficiently dramatic, most times.
Leto's character, Rayon, was entirely fictional, likely added (speaking as someone who knows just enough about screenwriting to be almost entirely ignorant about it) to give Matthew McConaughey's character a foil, and to set up his prickly relationship with the gay community Rayon represents. Screenwriting 101: Conflict = drama. The fact Rayon is silly I flat-out disagree with.
What did the writers of "Dallas Buyers Club" and Leto as her portrayer decide to make Rayon? Why, she's a sad-sack, clothes-obsessed, constantly flirting transgender drug addict prostitute, of course. There are no stereotypes about transgender women that Leto's concoction does not tap. She's an exaggerated, trivialized version of how men who pretend to be women — as opposed to those who feel at their core they are women — behave. And in a very bleak film, she's the only figure played consistently for comic relief, like the part when fake-Woodruff points a gun at Rayon's crotch and suggests he give her the sex change she's been wanting. Hilarious.
Again, everyone's perspective is their own, but I didn't find Rayon a sad sack at all, and in fact seemed pretty close to my memory of the drag queens and trans women I knew in that era. It was 1981-ish, after all, and just to have the gonads to live your life that way already put you out on the fringe. Another transsexual I knew at the time was still coming to work in a coat and tie. Needless to say, I didn't know she was transsexual until years later.
And the earliest victims — that word again — of AIDS in that era were disproportionately addicts and prostitutes, after all. I mean, I guess Rayon could have been a super-together lawyer who preferred navy suits, but let's be realistic. I love that "men who pretend to be women" contrasted with "men who feel at their core they are women" part. I'm a woman, and right now I'm wearing jeans and a sweater, an outfit I bet most trans women wouldn't be caught dead in.
I think what bugged me most about that piece was its anger, the same that followed some of the Dr. V's putter coverage, slinging around terms like "cis privilege," "transphobia" and other jargon as though everyone knows exactly what we're talking about. Even the sympathetic may find themselves mystified by this world, which I remind you requires no fewer than seven letters to cover all its iterations — LGBTQIA. That's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, queer/questioning, intersex and asexual/ally. If you really want to set your head a-spin, check out this video from Stephen Ira Beatty, born Kathlyn, and try to sort out the language. If that's not too ableist of me.
Sorry, I liked "Dallas Buyers Club" and see it as a step forward, a very human film. I wish people could cool their jets about it.
That said, Lupita Nyong'o was the star of Sunday's telecast. What a rare beauty, and what a sparkling speech. As Tom & Lorenzo would say: LUH HER.
How do we feel about the Kim Novak presentation? I am mixed. I read a very sympathetic defense of her by a film blogger whose work I admire, but I came away not 100 percent convinced. Novak is 81. I understand the need to feel beautiful, but at some point, isn't it infantilizing her to blame cruel, cruel Hollywood for driving her to such lengths? The babe ship sailed decades ago; there's no reason a natural beauty like Novak can't look at least presentable in her dotage.
I do think this gets it right, though: If you have two X chromosomes in Hollywood, you just can't win.
A little warmer today, but only a little. Ugh.

And yet if you live long enough you can get away with it. Many years ago when Joan Rivers began her long road to tight skin with her first rounds of plastic surgery, she was ridiculed high and low. Nowadays I listen to a comedy channel on XM radio and amongst her peers she has universal respect and admiration. Other comics adore her as she inspires them and keeps on going. It's been over 50 years now since she first vacation-hosted "Tonight" for Johnny. If anyone disses and ridicules her, they are ignored as an ignoramus or jeered themselves.
I heard the interview on the old King Biscuit Flower Hour with Mick Jagger about 34 years ago in which Mick says he couldn't imagine himself "dancing about on stage at age 40…"and he's 73 now and his band is still the greatest rock and roll band in the land as well as the world. Somebody had a change of heart I would say. And Keef just keeps rolling along, as do Charlie and Ronnie.
So let Ellen make her lack-of-dick jokes, let her make fun of gay-icon Liza, let her do her laid-back low-key Oscar show, complete with pizza delivery and Oprah-show-like gimmicks…i n no time at all she will be the one stumbling around on stage like old Kirk Douglas did a few years ago.
One comic yesterday said he was surprised there weren't Oprah-esque car keys under everyone's seats. Why not?

Sometimes, those who rail against political correctness have a point. Of course usually they just special credit for being assholes, but nevertheless. I can see how it would get under someone's skin to be called out for saying something now considered offensive when they had no intention they were being offensive. Sometimes you have to learn to pick your battles and correct someone in a more matter-of-fact manner or just STFU. Like when my grandfather, who was born in 1894, called his favorite baseball player, Chet Lemon, "that little colored boy". I would cringe, but wouldn't think of correcting him. He meant no offense, so sometimes you have to let a thing be. Now I'll go out and use my new found cis privilege and $2 and get a cup of coffee.

"Real life isn't sufficiently dramatic" — or often is, but on a different time scale than works in a movie, let alone a TV show. The trick is making sure people are staying grounded in the fact that reality unspools at a different rate than your entertainment diet leads you to believe . . . so people want recovery programs that work in a week (or less), diets that work like a montage sequence, and forget that some dark nights of the soul simply creep by at a pace you have to work with, and can't distract yourself away from with a jump cut or dissolve.

I'm a woman, and right now I'm wearing jeans and a sweater, an outfit I bet most trans women wouldn't be caught dead in.
I knew a woman married to a trans woman (who was a man when they wed) and she tried to make the marriage work, tried to be accepting, difficult as it was. The thing she could never get past, though, was that her partner refused to wear anything ordinary. My friend didn't want to draw attention. Her partner lived and breathed for nothing else. No matter the occasion, her partner was always dressed to the nines — as a tart. A middle-aged one. A short stature and naturally high voice made her passable as a female, but she might as well have been Liza Minnelli or Kim Novak on the red carpet.
They divorced and my friend left town. Her partner seemed to enjoy herself much more once unencumbered, going out on the town and flying her freak flag and making new friends wherever she went. In full regalia, she was a jaw-dropping, show-stopping comedienne. She drank herself to death at age 60.

Alex, probably a slice-of-life book in there (thinking Steinbeck, more or less), somewhere.
I am now a few weeks older than my dad was when he passed away (3 packs a day will shorten one's life); can't really imagine the road he was on, other than that it was very different (for better or worse) from the one I'm on.

Apparently the Federal government not wants Sprint to enable it's spying on Americans but wants it to do it on the cheap. Perhaps all the phone companies ought to double or triple their charges to the government as a form of passive resistance to all this spying.
http://yro.slashdot.org/story/14/03/03/1726201/cops-say-nda-kept-them-from-notifying-courts-about-cell-phone-tracking-gadget
The device acts like a cellphone tower. Mobile devices pick up its signal and transmit back their ID, which is how mobile devices are able to receive calls anywhere in the coverage area. The device in question allows the police to track a mobile device (stolen in this lawsuit) which lead to the arrest of the thief. This one police department has used the device over 200 times, all without getting a warrant from a judge. The question is whether this device requires a warrant since its using publicly available information. But the police's defense that they could not tell the judge about the device because they signed a "No disclosure" agreement seems pretty weak.

Researchers in collaboration with Fox news and the northwestern synod of the Snake Handlers of America have unearthed an ancient pathogenic virus from the Alaskan permafrost.
"It's really large, as viruses go", says Bishop Raiphe Quod, of the Ross Allen Primitive Baptist Reptile Institute (Bering Straits). We were really excited when we first brought it up with a core. I thought it was a snake because it had them dead, dead eyes, but it was just a crude package of genetic material in a protein coat. I don't think the Lord is ready for me to test my faith on this one, so we're keeping it isolated in a motor home out back of my brother's taxidermy shop. It bit one of my parishioners, and now they can't seem to shut up."

1. The make-up artists: Amen Sister. You've got all of these state legislatures that are trying to legislate gays out of existence and you complain about this? Geez, rearrange your priorities, buddies.
2. Kim Novak: I'm a hypocrite on this one. Her 15 minutes ended 40 years ago. However, the same people dissing Kim also unloaded on Shirley Bassey last year, and I'm sorry, but I thought she rocked it. And while we're at it, Darlene Love can still bring it every year on Letterman,
3. David C: Chet Lemon? That brings back memories. Jimmy Piersall would unload on Chet so much I'm still surprised that he never leapt out of the broadcast booth, run out to center field, and start wailing on him. Perhaps Harry Carey had Jimmy strapped down in his chair so that wouldn't happen. 35 years later, and when I see Alfonso Soriano hop to catch a ball I instinctively yell "TWO HANDS! GET YOUR HAND OUT OF YOUR BUTT AND USE IT!!!"

I watched Dallas Buyers Club last night on On Demand, thought it was good. McCaughnhey was very good, but looked terrible, which was the point. I kept thinking about how unhealthy it is to go through the kind of weight loss and gain actors go through for their jobs. I missed the Kim Novak part of the show.
Dorothy said on March 4, 2014 at 11:02 am
I wanted to watch Dallas Buyers Club two weekends ago when my son and his wife visited, but they wanted to see the Melissa McCarthy/Sandra Bullock cop movie instead, the name of which escapes me at the moment. I hated virtually every minute of it. Maybe this Saturday when I get home from my performance (show is at 5 on Saturday night) we can rent DBC on Demand.
I liked the Oscars show – at least Ellen's participation in it. I think she's among the best at being spontaneously funny. Billy Crystal is, too. I DVR'd Ellen yesterday and got to see the glowing Lupita Nyong'o yet again and like my daughter, have a girl crush on her. LUV HUH is right!
brian stouder said on March 4, 2014 at 11:38 am
Dorothy – couldn't agree more about the Melissa McCarthy/Sandra Bullock cop movie.
I endured chunks of it when we were with extended family at Christmas(!), and I bet the F-bomb flew in that one more frequently than whatever movie they say has it (Wolf of Wall Street?*) so heavily present.
Plus, just as with the Eddie Murphy/cop movies years ago, the mixture of what is supposed to be comedy with remorseless and brutal violence always turns me off.
*and btw, wasn't "Wolf of Walstreet" the nickname preferred by Thurston Howell III?

I got yelled at when Place Last Seen came out because the nomenclature around Downs Syndrome had shifted in the 10 years between being Liza's nanny and writing the novel. Got a few irate emails, including one from an old college friend, which resulted in some useful exchanges, but did leave one feeling a little …. eye-rolly (not a word but…). I mean, I wrote a whole novel about a loved, unique, special child … which seemed more on the side of right than not …
Still recovering from the encounter with 12,000 writers, teachers, students and publishing types (to say nothing of the poets!) in Seattle. Well, that and I picked up a little food poisoning as well.
Warm weather is coming! It's 40 here today. Sunny and soggy and I might have to drive down valley and see what's happening with the big Mallard's Rest ice jam. The Yellowstone is moving, but there's a lot of ice at that bend that is not (it's come ashore and taken out most of the campground picnic tables — and maybe the outhouses?).

Peter: a fact> Jimmy Piersall was hired to be the color man for Harry Caray on old WMAQ-AM in the mid-seventies before Harry moved six miles north to Wrigley Field. In the years Jimmy was in the booth, he never missed seeing even one pitch. He saw them all. Amazing, never a bathroom break or a few minutes to schmooze with a celebrity in the press box, nothing. He watched every pitch. Now that's a professional.
(He loved working with Harry, and he blamed his heart trouble on his adversarial relationship with former boss Charley Finley out in Oakland.)
Deborah, 🙂
So I learned a new term today, thanks to the newspaper and uncle google. It's Lunch Box Republican, as referenced in a letter to the editor endorsing a candidate. If you think it's a reaction to the Tea Party, you'd be right.
And accordingly to this article, they are partially supported by some unions: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/01/lunch-pail-republicans-labor_n_1929825.html. It's from October of 2012, so I'm not sure if they haven't picked up much traction, or I've been in a bubble.

I saw Dallas Buyers Club twice and thought it was terrific, but still wanted Chewitel Ejiofor to win the Best Actor award. I thought he was riveting in 12 Years a Slave.
Lupita Nyong'o is not only beautiful and talented, she is also marvelously thoughtful and expressive. At the link below, she is speaking at a lunch event called Black Women in Hollywood sponsored by Essence magazine. Very powerful and touching account of her childhood hope, as a dark-skinned girl, to wake up one morning with lighter skin.

As for Jimmy Piersall, pfui. I lost my last vestige of respect for him when some scorer made a ruling he didn't like during a game and he railed against the guy, on the air, as "an amateur writer from a small, little suburb paper." What a shithead.

Lunch pail Republicans and Reagan Democrats are still out there, but they just need some branding help.
Charlotte, it always seems like the critical letters and emails are more interesting, even when they're infuriating, than the "I love your writing" correspondence. Here in the Land of Legend, we only just changed from a county Board of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disability (or MRDD board) to just DD, which came after our operation kept getting unhappy mail and calls for a decade, but our superintendent always said "If I had an extra $100,000 to change everything with MRDD on it, we would." Finally we just had to bite the signage and do it. But I still wonder if the harm is actually worth 100K.

So would you burn RINO onto their foreheads or their hindquarters?
So this morning my shitty coffe grinder finally bit the dust, not my great one that I have in Chicago, a Braun that I've had for at least 30 years. No, this was the crappy one from Starbucks that I keep in Santa Fe. So I bought a cheap one at Target to replace it. I've become such a penny pincher.
Today was weird, we found one of the patio chairs up against the fence. Someone obviously used it to scale the fence into the yard beyond, which we found had a pile of bowling balls in it (?). We live on a dead end and we hope whoever ran around our building last night was being chased by one of our resident skunks, would serve them right.

Deborah, I always have some ground coffee around in case the coffee grinder dies or we have a power outage, something that happens in LA more often than most would believe. The ground coffees of choice are Trader Joes New Mexico Pinon coffee or Cafe Bustelo. The Pinon coffee tastes slightly chocolatey.
I've been drinking the Trader Joe's French roast which is pretty good. My favorite is Allegro (Allegra?) brand, Sumatra beans from Whole Foods but Lordy is it expensive.

RINO's a media creation (radio, cable TV, etc.). Not a big discussion point out in Realworldlandia. Move to the state level politically, and they start to go there, but on the county level, it's just not the issue. It's more "are you supporting the county sales tax increase" or "how do you feel about firefighter vacation rollover?"
I LOVE the TJ New Mexico Piñon coffee. It's very smoothe.

Two years ago I wrote a blog entry about an exciting, unexpected beginning- of -the- year study that merged inquiry, literacy and play. It's not necessarily something that anyone would repeat since it came so naturally to my class that particular year. However it is an example of what the possibilities are when the teacher listens carefully to the children and feels free enough to run with the ball when the opportunity arises.
This entry was posted in Investigating Choice Time: Inquiry, Exploration, and Play on August 25, 2016 by Renee.

Class 3 are working towards submitting a piece of writing for the BBC Radio 2 500 words competition. The children write an original story on any subject or theme in 500 Words or fewer and submit it online. If they win, their story will be read live on the radio by a superstar celebrity…like Julie Walters, Tom Hiddleston, Sir Kenneth Branagh, Jeremy Irons, or Sherlock himself – Benedict Cumberbatch. Each year, 10 million Radio 2 listeners hear, read and love these stories.
Class 3 have been working hard this term to write a narrative to follow the music video 'Faded'. The video follows a lone man on his quest to find his home in an apocalyptic barren landscape. The children were challenged to include relative clauses, varied openers, prepositional phrases and imaginative vocabulary. The star writer award was given to Jessica Seed - Well done Jessica!

In observance of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in honor of its 30th Anniversary, Manatee Diagnostic Center (MDC), part of the Manatee Healthcare System, committed to educate and give away 30 screening mammograms during a recent live remote with 92.1 CTQ's Maverick and Lulu in the Morning Show. Within 1 hour and 45 minutes, they surpassed their goal. During the live remote, Kobee Masiello, MDC practice administrator, and Bret Hendricks, MD, radiologist and MDC medical director, spoke about the importance of having yearly screening tests after the age of 40. Listeners heard how family history can determine testing, what dense breasts are, a concern of having a mammogram and the benefits of the 3-D technology that MDC offers.
According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the second leading cancer among women and one out of eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Regular screenings, early detection and improvements in treatment are helping millions survive this disease.

Aids to navigation in Kuwaiti harbors are presumably maintained by the Kuwait Ports Authority (KPA), but several offshore navigational aids in the Gulf are maintained by the Middle East Navigation Aids Service (MENAS), based in Bahrain.
The Arabic word for a lighthouse is mnarh or manara (منارة). Ra's is the word for a cape or headland, jazīrat is an island, and minā is a harbor.
ARLHS numbers are from the ARLHS World List of Lights. Admiralty numbers are from volume D of the Admiralty List of Lights & Fog Signals. U.S. NGA List numbers are from Publication 112.
Click on "View MENAS navaids" to display the locations of MENAS-maintained lights.
This map is useful for understanding the locations of many of the lighthouses.
Date unknown. Active; focal plane 23 m (75 ft); three white flashes every 10 s. 20 m (66 ft) square skeletal tower, painted with black and white horizontal bands. The tower can be seen in an undated aerial photo of the island, and Google has an indistinct satellite view. This light and the R'as al Ard light frame the entrance to Kuwait harbor. Located on an islet in the Gulf off the southeastern end of Failaka and about 25 km (15 mi) east of Ra's al Ard. Accessible only by boat. Site and tower closed. Operator: Middle East Navigation Aids Service. Admiralty D7588; NGA 29184.
1918. Inactive. 1-story station buildings clustered around a courtyard; the light was apparently shown from a mast. The photo at right was taken in 2008 by the Kuwaiti-Slovak Archeological Mission, and a Bing satellite view shows the buildings of the station. According to Kuwait's environmental agency, the station was "managed by Ibrahem Bu-Rashid who lived in the island along with his family to guide ships sailing in the Gulf at night." Apparently his descendents still live at the station. Another Bing satellite view shows the modern light (focal plane 11 m (36 ft); four white flashes every 30 s), which is on a small skeletal tower about 400 m (1/4 mi) southeast. Maskān is a small island off the northwestern end of Failaka Island, about 20 km (13 mi) northeast of Ra's al Ard. The historic lighthouse is near the northwestern tip of the island. Accessible only by boat. Site status unknown. Operator: Kuwait Ports Authority. Admiralty D7603; NGA 29224.
Date unknown. Active; focal plane at least 23 m (75 ft); three white flashes every 20 s. Approx. 23 m (75 ft) (or taller) white tower, described by NGA only as a "white beacon." No photo available, but Google has a satellite view. Mina ad Dohah is a port at the west end of Kuwait Bay; originally commercial, it served the U.S. Army's Camp Doha base during the Iraq War. Located in the midst of the harbor facilities of Mina ad Dawhah. Site status unknown. Admiralty D7602.9; NGA 29211.
Date unknown. Active; focal plane 17 m (56 ft); white flash every 10 s. 16 m (52 ft) skeletal tower, painted with red and white horizontal bands. Abdulaziz Al-Shalabi has a very distant view, and Bing has a satellite view. Located at the northeastern tip of an island about 16 km (10 mi) west of Ra's al Ard, marking the approach to the port of Al Jahra at the western end of Kuwait Bay. Accessible only by boat. Site status unknown. Operator: Kuwait Ports Authority. Admiralty D7601.8.
Date unknown. Active; focal plane unknown; two white flashes every 15 s. Light atop a 3-story white concrete harbor control building, seen in the foreground of Tareq Al-Obaid's photo. Bing has a satellite view. Ash Shuwaykh is Kuwait's commercial (non-petroleum) port. Located at the end of the breakwater quay in downtown Kuwait City. Site status unknown. Operator: Kuwait Ports Authority. Admiralty D7599.1.
Date unknown. Removed sometime after 2008, although still listed as active (focal plane 30 m (98 ft); green light flashing the Morse Code for "KHC" every 30 s). This light was shown from a communications tower atop a weather station building; Abu Barak has a photo, and another photo and a third photo (all from 2008) are available, and there is a 2007 view from the Kuwait Towers, but Google's satellite view does not show these structures at all. Formerly located on a short pier on the northernmost point of downtown Kuwait. Site status unknown, but the tower could be seen from shore. Operator: unknown. Admiralty D7594; NGA 29216.
Date unknown (station established 1915). Active; focal plane 26 m (85 ft); white flash every 5 s. 22 m (72 ft) square skeletal tower, painted with black and white horizontal bands. Roger Dennis has a distant view, the tower is at the extreme left of an aerial view, and Google has an indistinct satellite view. The Center for Research and Studies on Kuwait has a historic photo of an earlier light, probably the original, mounted on a stone pyramid. According to the caption, that lighthouse was built by the British Steam Navigation Company. A photo of the point shows a square beacon on the east breakwater of the ferry terminal that may be a reconstruction of the original. Ra's al Ard is a promontory projecting into the Gulf at the east end of Kuwait City. Located on the tip of the promontory. Site appears to be open, tower closed. Operator: Middle East Navigation Aids Service. ARLHS KUW-002; Admiralty D7592; NGA 29220.
Date unknown. Active; focal plane unknown; three white flashes every 15 s. The light is apparently mounted atop a very tall triangular concrete harbor control tower. A photo and a distant view are available, and Bing has a satellite view. Located at the end of the south breakwater at Ash Shu'aybah, a major petroleum port at the end of the Eighth Ring Road about 50 km (30 mi) south of downtown Kuwait City. Site status unknown. Operator: Kuwait Ports Authority. Admiralty D7581.9.
Date unknown. Active; focal plane 28 m (92 ft); two white flashes every 10 s. 25 m (82 ft) square skeletal tower. The tower is painted black, but it is wrapped with two white daymarks so that it shows black and white horizontal bands from a distance. A photo is at the top of this page, there's a 2009 photo and a second 2009 photo, and an older aerial photo is also available, but the tower is hard to locate in Google's too-bright satellite view. A modern communications tower now dwarfs the lighthouse. Located on an islet in the Gulf about 45 km (28 mi) southeast of Ra's al Ard. Accessible only by boat. Site and tower closed. Operator: Middle East Navigation Aids Service. ARLHS KUW-001; Admiralty D7573; NGA 29176.
Date unknown. Active; focal plane 14 m (46 ft); white flash every 10 s. Approx. 12 m (39 ft) skeletal tower, painted with horizontal red and white bands. The light is carried on the shorter of two towers seen in a photo of the island. Google has only a fuzzy satellite view. Qārūh is a small island about 25 km (15 mi) east of Mina Saids. During the First Gulf War, this was the first Kuwaiti territory taken by Coalition forces. Accessible only by boat. Operator: unknown. Site status unknown. Admiralty D7569; NGA 29316.
Date unknown. Active; focal plane 23 m (75 ft); two white flashes every 15 s. Approx. 22 m (72 ft) skeletal tower, painted with horizontal red and white bands. The light is carried on the shorter of two towers seen in an aerial view of the island, but it is not seen clearly in Google's indistinct satellite view of the station. The view at right, an undated photo posted by the Kuwati government, shows a previous tower that may have been similar to the Kubbar Island lighthouse. Umm al Marādim is in the center of the Gulf at the southern limit of Kuwaiti sovereignty, about 80 km (50 mi) east of Mina Saids, Kuwait, and a similar distance west of Bushehr, Iran. Accessible only by boat. Site status unknown. Operator: Middle East Navigation Aids Service. Admiralty D7568; NGA 29324.
Al Kout, a lighthouse built as part of a shopping mall development, is not listed as an aid to navigation. Google has a satellite view.

Karyn Huenemann is the first contributor (other than me) to Canadian Writers Abroad – and her article makes clear why she should be. She has lived in England, India, California, Paris and Boston. While in England and India, she was on the trail of Duncan. Having returned to Canada, she is the project manager of Canada's Early Women Writers (CEWW) at Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC (ceww.wordpress.com).
CEWW is an ongoing project, run by Dr. Carole Gerson, to create an online database of all Canadian women who published—in any genre, in any forum—before 1950. CEWW is one of the seed projects for the larger database project, the Canadian Writing Research Collaboratory (CWRC), run out of the University of Alberta, and headed by Dr. Susan Brown.
Being a Victorianist, studying in Ottawa in 1988, nothing seemed more natural than to take a course in Early Canadian Female Novelists offered at the University of Ottawa by the late Professor Lorraine McMullen. Imagine my surprise when one of the novels offered had seemingly nothing to do with Canada: The Simple Adventures of a Memsahib was a novel of British India, published in London in 1893. It turned out that this novel was written by one of those myriad of authors who—for whatever reason, although most often the inability of the Canadian publishing industry to support its authors—had left Canada for warmer or more lucrative places.
My Master's degree achieved, I eventually followed Sara Jeannette Duncan to London, and then to India itself…. While complications in pregnancy made me cancel my trips to Calcutta and Simla from our home in Bangalore, in England I was more lucky. I dutifully read through Marian Fowler's almost painfully familiar biography of Sara Jeannette Duncan, Redney(1983), gleaning from her research and other supporting documents what I could about Duncan's travels and residences.
Living in Windsor and studying at the University of London gave me ample opportunity to traipse the streets of London and its suburbs, A-to-Z in hand, trying to photograph the homes Duncan lived in, imagining her writing Cousin Cinderella (1908) or Two in a Flat (1908) as the sounds of London streets wafted through her windows. Unfortunately, many years, two children, and three jobs later, when I returned to academia and Sara Jeannette Duncan, I discovered that on only some of the photos had I written addresses. What sort of researcher makes such a mistake? I was appalled at my oversight, and can offer no excuses.
I do remember walking for what seemed like miles, up through winding streets in the north to get a photo of what I later thought was Newington Rectory… but the truth is lost in the mists of time, at least for a person now living on the West coast of Canada!
Looks great, Debra! Thanks for the flattering introduction.
Did anyone notice that in previous posts I did not spell Sara Jeannette Duncan correctly? Thanks Karyn for bringing to my attention the missing "n" in Jeanette.
Ah, and so the mystery continues. I'm sure that in her wildest dreams, Ms. Duncan could not have imagined such a dialogue.


Need a bit of #fitspo during these cooler months?
Well, if you're tired of the same old boring gyms or of running around the block, consider getting in the shape of your life at one of the best Sunshine Coast CrossFit studios.
Not sure what on earth CrossFit even is? The discipline is one that incorporates a variety of activities (like gymnastics, weightlifting and endurance-based workouts) that are comprised of functional movements such as squatting, lifting, pushing, pulling, jumping and running.
Sound like your ultimate sweat regime? Here are five studios worth checking out today.
DropBear CrossFit is easily one of the best Sunshine Coast CrossFit studios. The Nambour-based training venue runs group classes six days per week and introduces beginners to the sport gradually so that they become accustomed to the exercises over time. To start with, new customers can enjoy a free trial class to learn the basics of CrossFit, and from there pay for a four-week block of sessions to learn all the fundamentals.
Warana's Coastal Crossfit, a popular Sunshine Coast CrossFit studio, is designed to make clients feel at home in their ideal training environment. The club's 260 metres of purpose-built conditioning space contains a raft of equipment, including two separate pull-up rigs that accommodate up to 34 people simultaneously, and four Ring Towers. Customers can choose from services such as group training, private classes, small groups, and circuit training, with different fees for each.
Located just across the road from the beach, CrossFit Mooloolaba has been running since 2010 and was one of the first Sunshine Coast CrossFit studios to open. Today, the club runs workout sessions six days per week, with each session lasting for roughly one hour. Beware though — you definitely want to arrive on time as if not, you'll receive a 25 burpee penalty straight away to make up for your tardiness!
If you live or work anywhere near the Sunshine Coast Airport, you can utilise CrossFit Logic as your local CrossFit studio. With a free, three-session trial pass for all new customers, and then monthly pay-as-you-go fees (with no contracts), the centre is a top place to learn the ins and outs of this strengthening and conditioning workout. Classes are capped to ten people, so you can be sure that you will always reach your goals safely.
At the northern end of the Sunshine Coast you'll find the CrossFit Noosa studio. This centre utilises Wodify, an all-in-one gym software and tracking system that makes it easy to keep track of your exercise results, nutrition and other health indicators. CrossFit Noosa offers one-on-one coaching, a ten-session pass, or monthly direct-debit plans. Classes are run Mondays through to Saturdays.


Congratulations to the winners of the Kev Rushton Memorial that took place on Sunday 23rd May. 76 members took part in the tournament and the scoring was fantastic with 26 of the 38 pairings breaking 40 points.
Well done and thank you for supporting the competition.


Great option for a budget build.
AMD has us dreaming up a monster Threadripper configuration now that it has released information about pricing and a release time frame. However, if you're not looking to spend $799 on a processor and want to go in the complete opposite direction, and oldie but goodie is on sale across the web—the FX-8350 Black Edition.
Previously a fan favorite, the FX-8350 Black Edition (Vishera) is marked down at several places online, though none cheaper than Monoprice where it's listed for just $90 with free shipping. That's a 33 percent savings over its regular selling price, and it has vendors such as Amazon ($115) and Newegg ($120) beat.
The FX-8350 is an 8-core processor, sort of—it has 4 modules, each with 2 integer cores and 1 floating point unit, with resources being shared between modules. It is clocked at 4GHz to 4.2GHz and has 8MB of L2 cache and 8MB of L3 cache.
While outclassed by today's processors, the FX-8350 is still a peppy chip, and an intriguing solution at under a Benny. For a budget build, you could certainly do worse. Pair this puppy up with a decent graphics card and you can have yourself a pretty mean gaming PC without spending a fortune.
You can grab the processor on sale here.


The weather outside might be frightful—but that doesn't mean your hair has to look that way. Whether you have dry hair, damaged hair, frizzy hair, or color-treated hair, there are steps you can take to help ensure your hair looks smooth and shiny all winter long. It all starts with the hair care products you use. Keep reading for our best hair care products to use this winter if your hair is parched, you've noticed a few split ends, you've got a case of static frizz, or your color appears duller than you'd like. Smoother, shinier hair coming right up!
During winter, the low moisture in the air can lead your hair to feel a little dry. So, look for a nourishing system of hair care products—including a shampoo, conditioner, and hair mask—like the L'Oréal Paris EverCreme Deep Nourish Shampoo, L'Oréal Paris EverCreme Deep Nourish Conditioner, and L'Oréal Paris EverCreme Renourishing Butter. Our EverCreme Deep Nourish system gently cleanses and conditions dry, brittle hair, replenishing vital nourishment and deep moisture for silky-soft texture and shine without weighing hair down. Use the hair mask once a week in place of the conditioner. Apply it post-shampooing, focusing on lengths and ends. Leave on for 3-5 minutes, then rinse out thoroughly with lukewarm water (super-hot H20 can strip strands of essential moisture, so lay off the heat!). You can also use the hair mask before shampooing for added detangling and extra conditioning.
Damaged hair could use a little extra love—especially during the colder months. Look for a system of hair care products—shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, and leave-in treatment—formulated for damaged hair. Try the L'Oréal Paris Elvive Total Repair 5 Repairing Shampoo, L'Oréal Paris Elvive Total Repair 5 Repairing Conditioner, L'Oréal Paris Elvive Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm, and L'Oréal Paris Total Repair 5 Protein Recharge Treatment. Our Total Repair 5 system helps care for damaged hair without weighing it down. Once a week, use the hair mask in place of the conditioner, leaving it on for 3-5 minutes, then rinsing out. You can use the leave-in treatment after shampooing and conditioning. Apply a small amount to wet hair, then style as usual.
Static, frizzy hair is a common complaint in winter—so look for a system of shampoo, conditioner, and hair serum formulated to address frizz and smooth hair. The L'Oréal Paris Elvive Smooth Intense Smoothing Shampoo, L'Oréal Paris Elvive Smooth Intense Smoothing Conditioner, and L'Oréal Paris Elvive Smooth Intense Frizz Taming Serum does just that. Our Smooth Intense system helps soften and tame rough textures, leaving hair ultra-polished and frizz controlled. After shampooing and conditioning, apply 1-2 pumps of hair serum to damp hair, distributing evenly, then style as usual. You can also use a small amount on dry hair to smooth flyaways and add shine.
Hair color looking a little dull these days? It's time to switch to a system of hair care products formulated for colored hair. Our Color Vibrancy Intensive system, including the L'Oréal Paris Elvive Color Vibrancy Intensive Protecting Shampoo, L'Oréal Paris Elvive Color Vibrancy Intensive Protecting Conditioner, and L'Oréal Paris Elvive Color Vibrancy Repair and Protect Balm, helps protect hair color to keep it from fading so quickly. Use the hair mask in place of the conditioner once or twice a week. Apply it after shampooing, leave it on for 3-5 minutes, then rinse out thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Shaun Maloney invites Hibs legends to training as he vows to 'fight like hell' for Hearts 3rd place
News George Holan · February 1, 2022 · 0 Comment
Shaun Maloney invited Hibs greats Pat Stanton and Paul Kane to lunch with the current Easter Road team yesterday in a bid to inspire them ahead of tonight's Edinburgh derby.
And the Hibees manager has vowed to continue asking past legends to join them as he tries to reestablish the ties he believes have been lost over time.
Maloney insists Stanton and Kane weren't at Tranent's headquarters to beat the drums ahead of Hearts' visit tonight, but their presence provided a timely boost after the weekend's loss to Livingston.
He said: "I invited quite a few former players to training camp this week and I am very happy that they have accepted the invitation. Pat Stanton and Paul Kane, we had today in training.
"I enjoyed hearing the stories they had about their positive experiences and less positive experiences.

"That's definitely something we'll try to continue, not just for derby games but for all games.
"The more former players, who have achieved great things for our club, are around, the better. That connection may have been lost in recent years.
"But it coincided with the derby, so it was a good moment.
"My players have been very respectful. These guys have an incredible history at the club.
"I've had Pat here many times, but it was nice to see Paul Kane.
"It was just hearing their experiences and it wasn't just about the derby. With some of the coaches they've played with, it was also quite interesting to hear his experiences as players here.
"This club has incredible moments in its history and we have to embrace them and celebrate them, and they have to be part of the club for a long time."
Maloney, who will taste an Edinburgh derby for the first time on Tuesday night, is looking to leave a marker that his club are capable of bridging the gap between the two capital clubs.
He said: "The intensity of the game is obviously higher because of the crowd.
"It's completely different from a normal game. That is seen in many derbies, not only in this country.
"So that brings a speed or physicality to the game early on that we have to prepare for, but there are still some of the same basics and fundamentals that you have to do in any other game.
"We have to try to play through the pressure as much as possible and we have to defend and be as strong defensively as we were before the Livingston game. We have to be like that against Hearts.
"I understand where the team was when I took over, where they are now and where I hope to be. This time next season I hope to be in a very different place.
"Hearts have been very strong this season – you've done a good job, Robbie (Neilson), and for the next six to 12 months it's my job to make sure that I bridge that gap and fight like hell to make sure we're fighting for that." third place next year.
"I understand that in derbies and cup finals the results are the beginning and the end. Before and during these games, as a coach you have to think about performance in certain areas, but the magnitude of the result obviously overrides most things.
"From a coach's point of view, you can't always focus on the result, but I understand how important this game is."

Narrows Vocalist Recaps the Tour That Almost Wasn't
Matt Debenedictis
Matt Debenedictis Published: December 24, 2009
This past November, the multi-coastal -- and multi-country -- band Narrows pulled off their first East Coast tour, with a few Southern dips in the route, that many (including members of the band) thought was never going happen due to the battles with schedules and the miles that separate members of the hardcore supergroup that features members of Botch, Unbroken, These Arms Are Snakes and Tropics.
Recently, vocalist Dave Verellen caught up with Noisecreep and gave us a recap of how the tour went, as well as relayed some excitement over the plans for an upcoming European tour next year, saying, "As soon as all the venues realize we are playing at them, we'll have a fistful of shows and no budget. It's always a gamble, because you just don't know what kids are into at the second. Hopefully we'll have some good experiences and not have to sell the farm."
The plans for the small East Coast tour began months earlier, all the way back in May, when Narrows first full-length, 'New Distances,' had just been released. The plan was to open for a bigger band, and the band that stepped up first was Doomriders, but soon after, they had to bail because of bassist Nate Newton's obligations in Converge. "You never what's gonna happen until you're actually pulling up to the venue," Verellen tells Noisecreep, admitting a worry he had that the eight-date outing would have never happened. But luckily a recently reformed band had some dates Narrows were able to be added to. "I gotta say thanks to the Cave In guys for letting us hop on those shows with them. I know it wouldn't have been the same without them."
Each night of the tour the members of Narrows took the stage with no house lights warming the stage -- instead, the band plugged in their own lights from behind the drum kit -- determined to make the moment they started cranking out music more grand and furious, as their shadows reached to the ceiling.
With the band juggling so many time issues, they don't get to practice that much together, which makes the tightness of the band on the road all more stumbling. "Thankfully the members are really good at what they do, and by listening to our songs and practicing a couple times before the tour, I think we were able to pull off a pretty good show," Verellen says.
Between his scream and their home-spun lighting, it's easy to compare Narrows on stage to his former band, Botch. "Well it's just as fun," Verellen muses when discussing how both bands are a kin in presence. "I think the show itself is similar just in the fact that with our songs the same 'personas' overtake us, and all the sudden the show is over and you're trying to remember how your pants split open at the crotch ... some differences are reduced bickering, but I think it's because this band is still in infancy and we haven't figured out what to hate about each other yet. But mostly it's great. The guys in this band are all friends -- some new, some old -- but we're all just glad to be able to do this."
Verellen recounted one of his favorite moments from the tour, one where he left his body so to speak. "Calling everyone in the room a f---ing dick at the Baltimore show ... then feeling bad and hugging it out with all 49 people that attended. Tequila is pretty powerful stuff." But when it comes down to it, the Brooklyn, N.Y. show was his cherished memory. "It just went off without a hitch, we got to play our set and the venue and crowd were great. And it was especially good to see a lot of old friends."
For many this tour was one to kill doubt that the band could hit the road at all, as well as for some older guys to let loose again, as Verellen describes what Narrows is on stage as "five old men trying to act like they're 24 again (as in the year 1999, not current 24-year-olds), and we like what we play and seems like the people do, too. Can't ask for much more."

If you're reading this, you've probably figured out that building a blended family is a very complicated process.
One critical point that we often overlook is that most families already have an existing story that defines their values, traditions, dreams, and goals, many of which are carried on from previous generations. These stories are important and they provide a sense of cohesiveness to the family. Unfortunately for stepparents, they can present challenges as you try to join the existing family and merge with already established stories.
It is normal to want to create your own new stories to represent the new family.
How do you and your partner want to define this new family?
There is so much to consider and it is rarely discussed. If there is one thing you take away from this article, let it be this: the task of creating a new family identity and a sense of cohesion with new members who do not have any common history is one of the most difficult transitions a family can attempt to make (Gold, 2016). The stress associated with attempting to make this transition has a direct impact on the health of the relationship between the adults attempting to start the new family unit. It is often overlooked and inadequately managed.
According to Gold (2016), the stress levels in stepfamilies can rise to levels consistent with first marriages. With divorce rates for second marriages at 67% (and third marriages at 73%), the dissolution of the marriages is being attributed to high stress in stepfamilies during the first 5 years (Gold, 2016).
Stepfamilies are the fastest growing family unit in the United States, and when we consider the lack of social support generally offered by society, these new family units are fighting an uphill battle to remain intact (Gold, 2016).
Some of the adaptive challenges stepfamilies face include elements that may have caused the first marriage to dissolve (Gold, 2016). Examples include managing equality between spouses, communication, finances, intimacy, responsibilities at home, and time reserved to maintain or improve the health of the marital relationship (Gold, 2016).
In addition to those challenges, blended families are also faced with trying to manage previous financial commitments, relationship boundaries, previous spousal relationships (including residual anger and resentment between former spouses), and the stresses associated with parenting and stepparenting (Gold, 2016). Unfortunately, the difficulties in stepparenting are one of the main reasons the divorce rate is higher for couples with stepchildren (Kuther, 2015).
Parenting is hard under the best of circumstances and introducing stepparenting can be even more challenging, as there is often high tension and conflict over parenting strategies when compared to the marriage between biological parents (Kuther, 2015). While previous research has shown that an authoritative parenting-style by the stepparent was beneficial for stepchildren, more recent studies are showing that the children who feel most negative towards their stepparents perceived them to dominate the household, set new rules, and act as a disciplinarian (Cartwright et al., 2009). In many cases, stepparents find themselves in a position where they may need to be a disciplinarian and some stepparents may actually be encouraged by their spouses to take on a disciplinary role in the early stages of becoming a stepfamily (Cartwright et al., 2009).
When considering a disciplinary role, stepparents need to remember that, unlike parents, they are unable to rely on the previously established bond that a typical parent-child relationship has. Stepparents need to be aware that their attempt to discipline a stepchild will typically be met with anger and resistance, can encourage emotional distress in children, and may end up causing additional behavioural issues (Cartwright et al., 2009). In addition, children can start to feel alienated by the biological parent when the biological parent is seen as taking sides with the stepparent or is allowing the stepparent to take over control of the household (Cartwright et al., 2009). With all of this in mind, it is easy to see how a stepparent's parenting style can be a fundamental element to the success of a stepparent-child relationship.
The stepparent to stepchild relationship is the most complex and challenging relationships in a stepfamily context and their bond is one of the major tasks of stepfamily life (Schrodt, 2006). Stepparents need to consider and use various styles of stepparenting so that children and teens are better able to facilitate their adjustment into new stepfamily situations. If the children are not properly engaged, they can create one of the greatest sources of stress for the stepfamily and the new partners.
So what can you do? Which parenting style is likely to have the most positive impact?
A stepparent with a highly supportive parenting style combined with an authentic ongoing affinity towards their stepchildren is more likely to generate a close, reciprocal relationship with their stepchildren (Cartwright et al., 2009, Schrodt, 2006). When stepparents are able to show consistent acceptance of their stepchildren and encourage the biological parent to continue to hold responsibility for their care and discipline, there is a higher probability that positive relationships between the stepparent and stepchild are likely to grow, ultimately creating a stronger stepfamily unit and a happier, healthier partnership between the adults (Cartwright et al., 2009).
