In Memory of Jane Rule (March 28, 1931-November 27, 2007)
December 2, 2007 by womensspace Desert of the Heart , published in Canada in 1964 was, as one writer described it Desert Hearts , in 1986, by Donna Deitsch and was the first lesbian-themed feature film written and directed by a woman. Over the years, Rule wrote many other books and essays, mentored young writers, operated a mortgage and loan business in which she helped people who would otherwise not have been able to obtain loans, and was an activist in the lesbian community.   The Heterosexual Cage of Coupledom Over thirty years ago, when homosexual acts between consenting adults were decriminalized, Trudeau said that the government had no business in the bedrooms of the nation. Until a few months ago that privacy was respected. Now the government has passed a law including gay and lesbian couples as common-law partners with the same rights and responsibilities as heterosexual common-law partners. Any of us who have lived together in a sexual relationship for over two years must declare ourselves on our income tax forms, or we are breaking the law. With one stroke of the pen all gay and lesbian couples in Canada have been either outed if they declare or recriminalized if they do not. Our bedroom doors have come off their legal hinges.

Jane Rule, Canadian writer, 76; championed gay, lesbian issues
Email Print Text size By Elaine Woo Los Angeles Times December 10, 2007 LOS ANGELES - Jane Rule, a leading Canadian writer who championed gay and lesbian concerns in her essays, novels, and short stories, died Nov. 27 of cancer at her home on Galiano Island, British Columbia. She was 76. Ms. Rule was best known for her first novel, "Desert of the Heart" (1964), which explored the lives of two women who risk living together in a romantic relationship. It provided the inspiration for the 1985 movie "Desert Hearts" by director Donna Deitch. She fought government censorship of gay and lesbian writing and became the most prominent lesbian in Canada, a role she said she did not welcome but eventually accepted in order to educate the public about who lesbians are. "As a lesbian, I believe it is important to stand up and be counted," she wrote, "to insist on my dignity and joy loving another woman."

Jane Rule
Novelist whose work provides an incisive and quietly outlandish view of postwar Canada
Her lesbianism and the rise of McCarthyism prompted her to move to Canada, where academic positions led to the University of British Columbia and a professor, Helen Sonthoff, with whom she lived thereafter. Not until 1970, and freelance, did she publish a second novel, This is Not for You. It purports to be an account, sent by Kate to Esther, now a nun, of their friends, with a European sojourn, and perhaps owes something to the early Iris Murdoch. A similar group of friends animated Against the Season (1971).

Jane Fonda's "Georgia Rule" Premiere
So last night was the very gay-friendly " Georgia Rule " Atlanta premiere held at the Woodruff Arts Center The premiere benefited Jane Fonda's G-CAPP Foundation to help prevent teen pregnancy in Georgia complete with a live auction. The prize we wanted most was the one Felicity Huffman auctioned off: a "Desperate Housewives" walk-on role. Rosie O'Donnell was originally supposed to be the auctioneer, but after leaving "The View" she probably had other things she needed to get done (like find a new job!). Celebrities who did attend included Felicity Huffman, Dallas Austin Diana DeGarmo Vivica A. Fox Martina Navratilova ... Big Boi, and of course Jane Fonda and Ted Turner So as you can see, pretty much everyone made it. Well everyone except Lindsay Lohan , who almost got fired from the movie for not showing up. Clearly she's working hard to improve her image!

Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking (1988)
This is a GREAT album, in my opinion it's Jane's Addiction's finest. Ritual and the "live" album are great but the don't have anything on this. The whole album rocks from start to finish. One of my favorite things about Jane's Addiction albums are the bass lines, they are just so cool and interesting. But the whole sound is great awesome too, solid and aggressive.
Lineup:
Perry Farrell - Vocals
Dave Navarro - Guitars
Eric Avery - Bass, Acoustic Guitars

2007: The year of big-star movie flops
High-profile disappointments prove that big names can’t always save a film
MGM
Even big stars such as Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise couldn't pull an audience for "Lions for Lambs," which has only earned $14.9 million in the U.S.
COMMENTARY Alonso Duralde Film critic Alonso Duralde Film critic Having a big star in your movie was a guarantee of success in 2007 — providing that star’s name was Will Smith, whose “I Am Legend” opened to record December numbers. For everyone else, it was a little more touch and go. In a year when even Brad Pitt’s fortunes fell — his critically lauded “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” eked out a mere $3.8 million at the U.S. box office, and even “Ocean’s Thirteen” underperformed in comparison to the preceding chapters — it was a tough year for above-the-title talent to justify their fat paychecks. The stars themselves can’t be held fully responsible, in the same way that they can’t claim sole credit when a movie is a hit. But given that the leading men and ladies are often the focus of the marketing campaign and promotional push for a movie, that movie’s failure in theaters will more often than not reflect upon the actors and actresses whose mugs you see on “Entertainment Tonight” and “Access Hollywood” for the weeks leading up to opening day.

Jane Rule Gone at 76
Celebrated adopted Canadian writer Jane Rule died last night of complications due to liver cancer. She was 76.
Born in Plainfield, New Jersey in 1931, Rule had lived in British Columbia since the 1950s. Rule was inducted into the Order of Canada last summer, Canada’s highest civilian honor. According to Arsenal Pulp Press, the current publisher of Rule’s 1977 novel, The Young in One Another’s Arms , in January of 2007, Rule was awarded the Alice B. Toklas Medal “for her long and storied career as a lesbian novelist.”
Writing in The Globe and Mail today, Sandra Martin described Rule as, “Writer, teacher, cultural nationalist and lesbian role model,” in a lengthy and affectionate obituary:
The author of a dozen books, including the novels

Jane Rule Wrote of 'Jailable' Love
Jane Rule: 'I chose Canada'
By Grant Shilling
TheTyee.ca
December 7, 2007 This Sunday at Galiano Island's South End Community Hall a memorial service will be held to honour beloved Galianoite Jane Rule who passed away last week at age 76. Somewhere Jane is chuckling, for as she put it when she called me last month to give the heartbreaking news of her diagnosis of liver cancer, "I've already had two living wakes." Her most recent "living wake" was this past July at the South End Hall where in front of an adoring crowd she received the Order of Canada from then Lt.-Gov. Iona Campaognolo. Rule won the award for being a pioneering writer whose novels explored lesbian love at a time when Canada was as crusty as stale bread.

80. The Official Jane Haddam Web Site - Essay - Jane's Rules Of The Road
These are jane s Rules of the Road, Reality 101 for engaging in debate, on Usenet and off. They re not rules the way the Ten Commandments are rules.
http://www.janehaddam.com/chd/janerules.html
JANE'S RULES OF THE ROAD I am doing something this morning that I promised myself I would never, ever do. I am writing when I am angry. In fact, I'm writing when I'm more than angry. I've got smoke coming out of my ears, and it's been coming out of them since sometime last evening. There's enough steam around the top of my head at the moment for me to sing "I'm A Little Teapot" and look like I'm engaging in factual reportage. My father's big watchword in my childhood was, "lose your temper, and you lose the argument." If he was right, what's going to follow this paragraph will be absolute gibberish. That said, I have to admit that I have been very effective, in the past, when in a state of high piss off. Real anger can sometimes be a catalyst instead of a roadblock. In the matter of the subject of this essay, and the incident that set it off, I'm dealing with an issue that has been part of my life since I was very small. I've thought it over long enough to know what I want to say. I've only refrained from saying it because I haven't wanted to hurt anybody's feelings. Contrary to what some people have said about me, I am neither relentless nor insensitive to the feelings of people on the other side of whatever it is I'm debating. I'm aware of the fact that some people feel emotionally and psychologically inadequate to deal with real argument, and that others are self-conscious about what they feel to be the inadequacies of their intelligence or their education. I mostly think these people underestimate themselves. The vast majority of them are far more intelligent than they give themselves credit for. I do understand that some of them just don't like conflict of any kind.
