Robert Musgrave, Luke Wilson, and Owen Wilson in Bottle Rocket (Wes Anderson, 1996)

Cast: Owen Wilson, Luke Wilson, Robert Musgrave, James Caan, Lumi Cavazos, Ned Dowd, Shea Fowler. Screenplay: Owen Wilson, Wes Anderson. Cinematography: Robert D. Yeoman. Production design: David Wasco. Film editing: David Moritz. Music: Mark Mothersbaugh. 

A little whimsy goes a long way, but too much is a bad thing if it turns terminally twee. The unique sensibility of Wes Anderson has kept it going for 27 years now, culminating in the best picture and best director nominations for The Grand Budapest Hotel (Anderson, 2012). Though Bottle Rocket was a box office flop, it was an auspicious debut for Anderson, as well as for its then-unknown stars, Luke and Owen Wilson. (The latter also co-wrote the screenplay with Anderson.) Bottle Rocket inevitably became a cult film, building on what seems like a sly parody of Reservoir Dogs (Quentin Tarantino, 1992) mixed with a bit of Coen brothers tongue-in-cheekery. All that it lacks is Bill Murray -- it's one of the few Anderson films in which he doesn't appear -- but his special above-it-all manner is aptly supplied in Bottle Rocket by James Caan. Anyone coming to this movie in search of characters with fully fleshed-out backstories -- like, why was Anthony (Luke Wilson) suffering from the "exhaustion" that led him to commit himself to the posh, low-security mental institution from which he "escapes" at the movie's beginning? -- is going to be sadly disappointed. The effect is more shaggy-dog than Reservoir Dogs. It's a film that features among other things, a heist on that least likely of targets, a book store, and probably the most thoroughly planned and ineptly executed robbery ever put on film. It's also one of those movies that are perhaps even funnier when you try to remember them afterward and figure out what the hell you just watched.

Charles Duguid was born on 6th April 1884 at Saltcoats, Ayrshire.

I only learned of this man 4 years ago, and have to say, if ever there was an apt name for a man “Dr Do Good” as he became known has that honour.

Duguid was the son of Charles Duguid, a teacher, and Jane Snodgrass Kinnier, daughter of Robert S. Kinnier, a surgeon, he attended Ardrossan Academy, where his father was Headmaster between 1882 and 1889, and the High School in Glasgow, before studying medicine at Glasgow University he gained a Master of arts in 1905 before going on to gain degrees in Medicine and surgery. Whilst teaching at Glasgow University, Duguid worked as a doctor in the slums of Glasgow, but in 1911 he signed on as ship’s surgeon for a voyage to and from Australia. This experience led him to emigrate to Australia in 1912. His early medical work in the Glasgow slums developed in him a compassion for the underdog which continued throughout his 102-year life.

After settling in Victoria and marrying an Australian lass, who tragically died in 1927, he remarried in 1930, both Duguid and his wife were idealists and humanitarians, the murder of a white man by Aboriginals at Landers Creek, Northern Territory, sparked Duguid’s interest in their rights.

The police shot 17 Aboriginals during the course of the hunt for the murderer, but official records at the time state that at least 31 people were killed. In 1934 he headed to Darwin, but missed his connection from Alice Springs after responding to a request to perform some emergency surgery there and stayed on for three weeks. He was appalled at the way Aboriginal people were treated there and by their poor living conditions.

Duguid’s wife Phyllis, founded the Aboriginal Advancement League in 1935 and Duguid served as President. In 1937, Duguid helped to found Ernabella Mission in the Musgrave Ranges of South Australia. He lectured and spoke in the UK as well as Australia and New Zealand about the conditions of the Australian Aborigines.

Duguid was active in other organizations concerned with the advancement of Aboriginal rights such as the Council for Aboriginal Rights and the Association for the Protection of Native Races. He also led the 1947 campaign against the establishment of a British-Australian rocket testing program at Woomera in the Central Australian Desert. He worked closely with Donald Thompson to inform the public of the harmful effect that this program would have on those people still living traditionally, nearby.

In addition to his work with Australian Aborigines, Duguid helped to found the Australian branch of the English-Speaking Union, of which he was Chairman in 1932. In 1935, he was elected Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of South Australia. Duguid died in Adelaide on December 5th, 1986 at the age of 102.

Letters from Watson: The Naval Treaty

Part 1: The Fun Bits

Watson cites The Second Stain as also occurring this month.

This almost lines up with my own conclusions regarding the date of The Second Stain, (I pegged it as prior to Watson's marriage, so 1988 at latest) but there are frankly a lot of similarities between the two cases.

Lord Holdhurst: Yet another fictitious noble, this time probably based on prime minister Robert Gascoyne-Cecil. again.

Brain fever is another diagnosis that covers all the ground in the world, as I covered in The Musgrave Ritual, but in this case I'm pretty confident that it's primarily covering Tad Phelps' mental health, despite the mention of physical weakness. His life is crumbling in front of his eyes. A stress related breakdown can also intensify anything else that might coincidentally be wrong with you, especially in a pre-antibiotic world full of industrial pollution and zero moderation in consuming tobacco or alcohol.

Also if you're experiencing a lot of panic attacks (probable given the cited "state of horrible suspense") exerting yourself in any way feels a hell of a lot like there's a new panic attack rolling in.

Between The Man with the Twisted Lip and this story, we get a picture of Mary as Mrs. Watson: fully supportive of anything her husband can do as either a friend or a doctor or an upstanding citizen to help just about anyone. Whether it's accompanying Holmes out to the countryside (and making sure that he isn't alone and trying to deal with a sick and anxious nobleman during the investigation) or late night trips to haul people out of opium dens.

Holmes' use of litmus paper is not going to become relevant to this case, but apparently commercial production of litmus paper had been occurring for several decades before 1888. It's also very possible to make your own from specific lichens.

Francis Quirk, or, the means by which his lordship lost his land: a camp nanowrimo wip intro

Genre: historical fiction

Setting: another 18th century Ireland wip 😔🖐️ set in the same fictional northern Irish parish as RRL but nearly 20 years earlier

Content warnings: suicide, death, gore, period typical bigotry, etc

Returning home from his mandated time in London with a law degree in hand, ascendancy fop Robert d'Hermite finds himself lucky on three fronts. One, France has not yet invaded. Two, his best friend, Mr Francis Quirk, son of the local doctor, has returned from the American war, though in very bad spirits. And three, Robert d'Hermite has suddenly been created Lord Kilcullen, for his uncle, the previous Lord, has died -- in apparent suicide, under very suspicious circumstances. Robert doesn't care about the mystery, but Francis, a social climber if there ever was one, cares very much, and so the two embark on a quest to tease out the true circumstances of the old Lord's death from those members of the local gentry who may have been involved. Here, however, Robert d'Hermite is unlucky on two fronts. One, every single person in the parish seems to have hands soaked to the skin in his uncle's blood. And two, there's something less than pure about Francis' motivations -- if Robert could only put his finger on it...

Ask to be +/- from taglist!!!

Characters

Robert d'Hermite - a foolish young lawyer recently come into a great inheritance. Dangerously sentimental and, to put it nicely, there isn't much going on behind those spectacles he wears. Drinking, hunting, gambling, &c. he/him

Lt. Francis Quirk - a soldier of the British army suffering from a bullet wound to the leg obtained fighting the American rebels. Something of a schemer, something of a thinker, but unwilling to put his talents to real use. he/him

Samuel Murdock - a local Volunteer officer who Francis has grown quite close with in recent days. A firebrand who has fought duel after duel, and never over something worthwhile. he/him

Anne Murdock - handsome, clever, rich, and hiding something. Sam Murdock's sister who both Francis and Robert are hopelessly in love with. she/her

Kitty Lambe - a flippant young heiress who enjoys flirting, drinking, and riding, in that order. Robert's mistress at the start of the story, but perhaps not for much longer. she/her

Geraldine Musgrave - a nervous girl unsure about her future on all counts, but assuredly dissatisfied with what she has now. she/her

Sir Richard Gregory - the best friend of the dead man, a temperamental man who enjoys making alterations to his estate and reading. he/him

Walter Adams - a Dublin lawyer up to the northern country for his health, staying with Sir Richard. Considerably more outwardly political. he/him

Who would you say is the Worst historian of Irish history?

Hmmm ok so content wise it's a tie between my eternal enemy t*m p*t coogan due to his bias and the fact that he's straight up lies about some things, and the woman whose name escapes me who wrote a book in the 90s which purports that william pitt the younger actually engineered robert emmet's rising for... something, purely because it's a theory based on 1) an extremely shoddy claim made by 1 guy in the victorian era; & 2) a total lack of understanding of the 18th century, and because it drives me, personally, insane. In terms of people whose information is not incorrect, but whose personalities I think are rancid, it's also a tie between sir richard musgrave and robert mackie sibbett. both Orange historians, both been dead for a long time, both people who make me feel like I suddenly understand why the defenders did all of that

A southeast Missouri boarding school under fire for allegedly abusing students has shut its doors and is facing additional investigations, The Star has confirmed.

Lighthouse Christian Academy, run by ABM Ministries near Piedmont, has notified the Missouri Department of Social Services that it is “officially closed,” according to a letter obtained by The Star.

The action comes as the state’s child welfare agency is investigating whether hotline calls about the school were properly investigated.

Robert Knodell, director of DSS, confirmed to The Star that his agency is working to determine how complaints to the state child abuse and neglect hotline about Lighthouse Christian Academy were handled by his department.

Sources, including former students, have told The Star that numerous complaints were submitted in the past 15 years but nothing came of them.

“We want to make sure that our team members are using the appropriate judgment, making the appropriate calls moving forward,” Knodell said. “Our inquiry and investigation is ongoing, looking at those facts in their entirety. We have to review each of those situations.”

The social services agency is also looking to see, Knodell said, whether a 2021 law implementing some regulations for Missouri’s unlicensed boarding schools is strong enough to prevent or identify abuse in such facilities.

The Star first wrote about allegations involving Lighthouse Christian Academy in Wayne County last month after five boys ran away in less than a four-week period. Since then, owners Larry and Carmen Musgrave, ages 57 and 64, have been charged with kidnapping, and another staff member, Caleb Sandoval, 22, has been charged with the assault of a child.

All boys are now gone from the school, authorities said, after parents were told earlier this month to pick up their sons within 48 hours. The school wrote to the state earlier this month about Lighthouse Christian Academy’s future.

“As of March 6th @ 5 p.m., 2024 ABM is officially closed,” the letter to DSS read. “All staff have also been dismissed.”

Wayne County Sheriff Dean Finch said he expects more charges as he continues to investigate. He has interviewed dozens of former students.

Several hotline calls made in late January

What still isn’t clear is what happened after concerns about the school were reported to Missouri’s abuse and neglect hotline.

Former students said if only someone had listened long ago, more students wouldn’t have been subjected to what they call mental and physical abuse.

The most recent calls to the hotline were made in late January when two boys — ages 12 and 14 — ran away from the school. After the two were initially helped by Cierra Osborn and then other neighbors, several people called the hotline.

Those two boys told the residents that they were hit for not doing chores fast enough and were berated by staff. At least two neighbors told The Star that they called the hotline, but to their knowledge nothing was done.

Courtney Hall, who lives about two miles from the school, said she when she initially called the hotline she was told that several people had already reported the incident and that it would be noted that she’d called. The next day, she said she called back and was told the information provided to the state wasn’t enough to meet the criteria for an investigation.

A sheriff’s deputy also called in late January about the runaways.

“We certainly appreciate the involvement of the folks in Wayne County in this situation,” Knodell said. “The ability to address ongoing issues is much greater when there’s full cooperation across the spectrum.”

That Jan. 28 incident, as well as other recent runaway cases, led authorities to talk with former students. And the information they shared led to the kidnapping charges and other counts that are expected.

“That was the domino effect, and it just went from there,” Finch said. “I don’t know the word I’m looking for to be honest with you. It’s just sad.”

What’s frustrating, the sheriff said, is that several students told him they tried to tell their parents about the alleged abuse at the school, but in many cases they weren’t believed.

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to blame anybody or whatever,” Finch said. “But the parents of some of these kids don’t care. That’s my personal opinion, and you can quote that all day long.”

‘Angry that it could happen’

Lighthouse Christian Academy — for boys 10 and older — is the latest unlicensed boarding school in Missouri to face scrutiny amid allegations of abuse.

Since September 2020, The Star has investigated several schools, and the lack of regulations for them in the state, and has spoken to more than 80 students who attended facilities in southwest Missouri.

That investigation led to lawmakers proposing legislation that they passed in 2021. The hope was that the new law would prevent further abuse and allow the state to implement at least some regulations for the unlicensed facilities.

Hearing about allegations and criminal investigations at yet another school has frustrated some lawmakers.

“I was shocked and angry that it could happen,” said Rep. Rudy Veit, R-Wardsville, a co-sponsor of the 2021 legislation. “It’s a great concern, because we were supposed to be at least making major steps to prevent this from happening. I thought we at least had new cases not arising, and turns out, these people went under the radar.

“And the whole object was that they not be under the radar and that they be overseen so we at least know that if something’s going on, we become aware of it.”

Veit said he hopes DSS will do a “thorough investigation” to see if the new law is strong enough to keep alleged abuse and other wrongdoing from happening inside Missouri’s unlicensed boarding schools.

“If not, what changes do we need to make?” Veit said. “I want them (DSS) to do their investigation, which I understand they’re doing, so we can make a determination — is this something that should have been prevented under existing law, or is there something we need to do to prevent this from happening?”
