![]() You needed some language credits and some math credits some science. Luckily, in those days, Stanford still had almost two years’ worth of required courses or subject areas-Western Civ, for example, which was just marvelous. I not only didn’t feel prepared, I had no idea what course of study I should follow. I don’t think that would happen today.ĭid you arrive with a particular career path in mind? So he called Stanford’s admissions office and said, “I have this good student here, and you have to let her start and give her the entrance exam after she gets there.” And they did, if you can believe it. The principal at my high school was very upset when he realized that the school had not let me know when the college entrance exam was being held. You were quite a bit younger than typical freshmen. My focus on Stanford undoubtedly came from what he had hoped to do, although neither my dad nor my mother ever told me where to apply. My father had wanted to go to Stanford, but he ended up going back to take care of the Lazy B Ranch and never left it. I didn’t think I had had as good a high school education as a majority of my fellow Stanford students, many of whom had come from wonderful schools and had taken classes far more sophisticated than I had. Friends from those days describe you as very mature and focused-as one of them put it, “She wasn’t a giggly schoolgirl.” Yet when you arrived you were only 16. ![]() Let’s begin with your Stanford experience. This is an edited transcript of the conversation. On October 28, three weeks into the current Supreme Court term, and one day after White House counsel Harriet Miers withdrew her name from consideration for O’Connor’s seat on the bench, O’Connor talked about her life and career in a 20-minute interview from her home in Phoenix with STANFORD editor Kevin Cool. “She has set the gold standard for women lawyers for generations to come,” adds Sullivan. On a moonlit night in the Quad in 1999, O’Connor inaugurated Sullivan as the first female dean of Stanford Law School and “helped unstintingly thereafter. “She has been extraordinarily generous toward the women who came after her,” notes Sullivan, who knows from personal experience. Day, do you type?’ And it taught my generation, by then a quarter of the legal profession, that women lawyers could do anything and everything in the law,” says Sullivan. “Her ascension up the court steps put definitively to rest the era when law firms had asked her, despite her academic brilliance, ‘Ms. But according to Stanford law professor Kathleen Sullivan, O’Connor’s appointment and her subsequent performance on the court “changed the landscape for women lawyers forever. Several leading law schools, including Stanford’s, had all-male faculties into the 1970s. When she enrolled at Stanford Law School in 1949, just 1 percent of law students in the country were women. She also will be remembered for the influence she had on women, particularly in the legal profession. As the only serving justice ever to hold elected office-she was a senator in Arizona from 1969 to 1975-O’Connor has tended to decide cases on narrow grounds, and avoided opinions that would impose federal laws on the states. Although she often voted with conservatives on the court, her opinions on matters involving affirmative action and abortion, for example, yielded outcomes favored by liberals. A self-described conservative when she was confirmed 99-0 to the court in 1981, O’Connor has not been governed by ideology. Her jurisprudence defied easy characterization. Some legal scholars decried O’Connor’s power to determine cases and even suggested expanding the number of justices to avoid what George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley called “a court of one.” So pivotal was her role, lawyers arguing cases before the nine justices often devised legal strategies aimed specifically at her. As the so-called “swing vote” on several landmark cases, she has been described as the most powerful woman in the United States. O’Connor, ’50, JD ’52, long ago grew beyond the legend that would naturally attach to the first woman named to the nation’s highest court. ![]() After the September 3 death of Chief Justice William Rehnquist, ’48, MA ’48, JD ’52, created another vacancy on the court, O’Connor donned her robe for a 25th year while awaiting the confirmation of a successor. ![]() The grandkids had to wait a while longer. By the time the Supreme Court’s new term began, she said, “I assumed I might be trout fishing in Montana or seeing my grandchildren in Arizona.” “As many of you know, I did my best to retire last summer,” she joked. On October 20, Sandra Day O’Connor addressed cadets at the United States Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.

Doxie chon4/2/2023 ![]() Because they suffer from separation anxiety they will need to have frequent play and interaction with the family. Early socialization and obedience training is recommended. He will be a happy and playful dog that loves his owners. A stop barking command should be taught. Your Doxie-Chon will have qualities of both his parents. They do suffer from separation anxiety, which can cause them to chew, bark and cry out. They usually get along well with other animals and are not territorial. They excel in advanced obedience training. Because the Bichon Frise loves to please, he is easy to train. They do not like being left alone and can suffer from separation anxiety. The Bichon Frise loves to be around people and children. The Dachshund can be stubborn and strong-willed. He may show signs of being territorial with other dogs in proximity of his home. Sometimes fearful of strangers, this hybrid should be introduced often to new people. He is loyal and protective of his owners. The Dachshund is usually bold, playful and fearless. Therefore, it is important to keep an eye on your Doxie-Chon after his puppy shots and annual vaccinations. Some Bichon Frise are vaccine sensitive, which means they can develop hives, facial swelling and soreness after the vaccination. A veterinarian or groomer can show you how to correctly trim his nails. It is recommended that dogs be seen by a veterinarian once a year for a wellness check. A dog’s toenails have blood vessels in them, and if you cut too far down it can cause bleeding. Nails should be clipped monthly with care if they do not wear down naturally. ![]() His teeth should be brushed weekly to prevent tartar buildup and gum disease. Occasional professional grooming may be necessary, a few times a year to keep the coat the proper shape and thickness. Most often, this hybrid should be bathed every four to six weeks using a canine shampoo. Yearly stripping of the hair may be needed. A wire pin brush may work best on his coat but be careful that the brush is in good working condition so it does not snag or catch on the fur. The Doxie-Chon has a wiry medium length coat, which should be brushed out once a week to remove loose hair and eliminate tangles. Arriving in the United States in 1956, the breed was added to the roster of the American Kennel Club in 1975. Favorites of the noble families in Spain as well, it was hundreds of years later before the Bichon Frise made his way to the Americas. King Henry III of France had a special basket that hung around his neck, carrying his little white dogs wherever he went. The Bichon Frise was a treasured member of the French royal courts during the 16th century. Some historians believe that French sailors first brought the dogs home from the Canary Islands. Still a hunting companion in parts of Europe, the Dachshunds living in North America are primarily family companions. It is believed that the Bichon originated from the Barbet. The wirehaired and the longhaired cousins were developed by breeding the Dachshund with Spaniels and Terriers. The first American Dachshund Club was founded in 1881 and the breed was registered with the American Kennel Club in 1885. Ancestors of the smooth variety are thought to be the Braque, the French Basset Hound and the Pinscher. Keen on the scent and gifted with powerful legs, this breed was a helpful companion to the hunter. It is believed that the Dachshund originated in Germany in the early 1600s, bred as a hunter skilled at rousing game from their dens.

Chief architect home designer4/2/2023 ![]() She eventually became one of the most famous Native American artists of the era.Ĭolter's interest in Native American culture began when an uncle gave the family a series of sketches by Sioux prisoners who'd been interned in Montana in the 1870s. The floorplan led visitors past Native American artefacts to shops where travellers could buy their own Indigenous crafts. Harvey wanted to showcase high-quality crafts linked to Indigenous cultures, so his company hired Native American artists to demonstrate their techniques, including Navajo weaver Elle of Ganado, who wove blankets in the building. Colter was a pioneer in a male-dominated field, "in charge of important commissions that have stood the test of time and are part of America's cultural heritage," said H Ruth Todd of Page & Turnbull, a female-led architectural firm that has restored several of Colter's Grand Canyon buildings.Īrchitectural designer Geraldene Blackgoat (Navajo) said that while she didn't learn about Colter in school, "which focused mostly on white male architects", she "gives Colter credit for using her privilege to acknowledge and pay tribute to Native American vernacular design".Ĭolter's first assignment for Fred Harvey was to design the interior of the Indian Building at the Alvarado Hotel in Albuquerque. Though white, Colter was a lifelong student of Native American art and architecture, and her "vision" of the Southwest helped educate tourists about Native American culture. La Posada was a Spanish ranch-style building of the early 1800s, Hermit's Rest the refuge of a rustic mountain man, The Desert View Watchtower an ancient Indigenous edifice guarding the canyon. Her design choices were governed by the backstories she imagined for her buildings. Her Pueblo-style plaster walls, exposed wood and stone and niches for saints helped define the vernacular design style of the US Southwest. She designed hotels, curio shops and rest areas, channelling the region's landscapes and cultures. In the 1880s, the Santa Fe joined forces with Fred Harvey to lure tourists to the Southwest by commissioning the building of high-quality accommodation along the line.Ĭolter freelanced for Harvey from 1902 to 1910, when she was hired full-time, and she remained Harvey's go-to architect until 1947. The two companies felt there were no decent hotels and affordable food along Santa Fe's rail line were hard to find. Instead she became the go-to architect for two companies working in tandem to "open" the American West (already inhabited by Native Americas) to settlers and later tourists following the US Civil War (1861-65): the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (nicknamed the Santa Fe) and the Fred Harvey Company, which built restaurants and hotels along the route. Of the millions of people who visit the Grand Canyon annually, few know Colter's story. But her iconic Grand Canyon buildings provide the best evidence of how she helped early (mostly white) tourists better understand how the region is home to diverse, millennia-old Native American cultures and civilisations. One of the few female architects of her time, Colter rejected European design in favour of buildings rooted in the Native American and Spanish heritage of the US Southwest.Ĭolter designed everything from the hacienda-style La Posada Hotel in Winslow, Arizona (1930), to the interior of the Painted Desert Inn in Petrified Forest National Park (1947). Built in 1932 and inspired by ancient Native American structures, the Desert View Watchtower is the work of Mary Colter (1869-1958). But I was here to see the 70ft-high tower clinging to the canyon's rim. ![]() ![]() Standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon, most people peer, awestruck, into this mile-deep chasm.

Stts safes4/2/2023 ![]() This is where AMSEC decided to invent the round door rectangular body floor safes dramatically increasing the storage capacity of the round door concept. While the original concept behind the C Series Floor Safes was to make the most difficult safe to break into (and they did a fantastic job) the capacity of these safes is very limited and occasionally a little awkward due to the round body. The AMSEC C Series Round Body Floor Safes come in 3 sizes with the CD7 having an internal door with a drop slot and two managers keys for use in a retail environment that uses non-refundable deposits:ĪMSEC Floor Safes Star Door Rectangular Body Series: These floor safes are literally a burglars worst nightmare. Each locking bolt also has it's own hardened steel positive re-locking device. The door also uses three bolts to lock all requiring over 25,000 pounds to shear. This means the only place to attack is the door and with the manipulation resistant UL Listed Mechanical Dial Lock and drive and drill resistant spindle, these floor safes have layers and layers of advanced security. They utilize a round door that is 1-3/4" thick and due to it's round nature, there is no where to stick a crowbar or tools to pry the safe. The AMSEC C Series Round Door Floor Safes is the most difficult floor safe to break into ever made. The AMSEC Super Brute Floor Safes come in 6 sizes:ĪMSEC Floor Safes Star Round Body C Series: These AMSEC Super Brute Floor Safes have three to five 1" diameter steel locking bolts depending on the size and all of them are drive resistant with a long throw to provide the ultimate pry protection. The door jamb design is manufactured with built-in devices to provide the ultimate protection against sledge hammer attacks and the UL listed lock is protected by both a hardplate and a relocker. All of the floor safes in this series feature a 3/4" thick steel door which is a 1/4" thicker than the closest competitor. The AMSEC Super Brute Floor Safe series is the best square door floor safe option in the industry. ![]() With their concealed nature and encased in concrete on 5 out of 6 sides, floor safes are the best security option outside of TL Rated safes. ![]() Floor safes have been the standard for gas stations, restaurants, residences and anywhere that hidden security is the priority. American Security Products, AMSEC USA, has been the premier leader in Floor Safes for decades with multiple sizes, options, door configurations and security levels.

Chevy volt ibooster4/2/2023 ![]() I was even considering using the breakaway function of the Brake Buddy Stealth as a sort of redneck mico-lock, but I'm increasingly seeing how that might be a bad idea. I plan to wire it differently than the instructions say so I can use the vacuum pump at other random times, such as to supplement the vacuum during near-constant WOT for more accurate cruise control and to power brakes and other items if I want to use them without firing the engine. The kit includes a really crappy one, so I was looking for a better one, one that can run with a higher duty cycle and a deeper vacuum. I plan to install the Brake Buddy Stealth at some point, which requires a vacuum pump. This was kind of just a rabbit hole I went down. ![]() But it could be an interesting alternative for a few cases. ![]() Not arguing that this should be used to replace all hydroboost or vacuum brake applications. If that fails or a fuse blows, you have a dozen, maybe a few more, stops before you lose pressure and end up with manual brakes. So unlike hydroboost, it would be useful for flat towing.Ī big unknown would be the reliability of the included pump. One distinct advantage there is that the electric booster brakes can be used at any time, even with the engine off and no auxiliary vacuum pump. It would eliminate the need for a vacuum source for factory brakes and/or a need for power steering pressure for hydroboost. So based on that information, the electric booster would be a moderate upgrade over the vacuum booster, but not quite to the level of the hydroboost. The Vanco hydroboost kit claims a max pressure of 2400-2700 PSI, with a master cylinder diameter of 1-1/8 for the 1/2-ton and 3/4-ton kits, and 1-5/16 for the 1-ton kits. (The disadvantage of the larger cylinder is that less pressure is available when the brakes are applied without boost.) The kit claims a max PSI of 2000 psi.Īccording to Vanco PBS, a stock vacuum booster puts out 1000-1100 psi of brake line pressure (assuming dual diaphragm). The kit claims a master cylinder diameter of 1-3/16”, which I suspect would work with most big brake kits, given that the stock TJ cylinder is 15/16”. The difference is it uses electric, rather than power steering pump pressure, to power. Like hydroboost, the kit replaces the vacuum brake booster.

Handshaker4/2/2023 ![]() It has been quite a while since I have read a psychological crime thriller that has had me caught up in the plot so intensely as this one.Bravo. 'The Handshaker' is a well written work of fiction, combining all the elements required by this particular genre with some hard hitting emotive imagery and solid research. What's more, I enjoyed it for all the right reasons. To say that I 'enjoyed' reading this book seems strange, given the subject matter, but I did. This is one compelling rollercoaster of a read.įrom the very first page, David Robinson weaves spellbinding, strong imagery and research into this psychological crime thriller effectively securing your attention by the throat, leading you kicking and screaming to the final page. Victims of the man that has become known as 'The Handshaker'. He has to work quickly to prove his innocence and save his girlfriend from suffering the same fate of the previous victims. Fearing that she may have become another victim of the serial killer, Croft reports her disappearance to the police only to find that he is now the number one suspect. Croft is immediately concerned for her safety. When his girlfriend fails to return home from work, Croft also discovers that she never made it to work in the first place. The profile that begins to emerge is significantly close to his own. On the advice of his girlfriend, Croft takes the note to the police and with his help the police begin to develop a profile of the serial killer at large. When local 'retired' celebrity hypnotist 'Alex croft' receives one of these cryptic clues in his mail, he recognises the content to be 'out of the ordinary'. Not to mention the typewritten cryptic clues that have been ignored or dismissed.

He also produces darker, edgier thrillers, such as The Handshaker and Voices titles which are aimed exclusively at an adult audience and which question the perceptions of reality. More titles in the series are due in the near future. In January 2012 Crooked Cat Publishing picked up the first of his popular Sanford 3rd Age Club Mysteries, The Filey Connection.
