At Christmastime I love all my presents, but there are always a few that make me have elbows and go 'Eeeeeeeee!!. This year MrsDrWho gave me a fabulous book: The Knitted Farmyard, and when I opened to the first page, there were five little chickens,(or four and a rooster. I'm not too bothered) We both had tiny paroxysms of delight!! It is is very cute and you can knit a whole farmyard with farmers, pigs and sheep and cows with udders and cabbages and a dog and a cat. And a pond. MrsDrWho was especially entranced by the pond!! We always label our gifts to each other with cryptic clues, so you have to try and guess what's inside. This book was labelled as a Potential OPAM (One Project a Month) and I reckon if I knitted some each month I would have a lovely big farm at the end of the year.
I had a lovely time at MrsDrWho's mum and dad's on Christmas Day. Lots of delicious food and drink and pudding. I came home with a plum pudding in a cloth of my very own, a special small one. It just needs boiling up for half an hour. Peri and Gilly were so lucky, MrsDrWho found some kangaroo bones for them, as Peri is on her special diet. I cracked with my hammer and they had half each. It is obviously pretty delicious!!!
I have been feeling slightly better, though I have done very little. I have been resting and doing some sewing over the last week or so. I made MrsDrWho's WeeNephew a circular playmat/sack for all his Thomas the Tank Engine things. It has five or six kinds of Thomas fabric on the inside, and then his favourite colour purple on the outside. It has a drawstring and when pulled up, it holds quite a lot of trains. I made him a purple backpack too.
My next door neighbour's name starts with an E so I made her an apron in the style of Masterchef, her favourite TV programme.
And today I sewed a little quilt for my aunt. My mum and my aunt are coming to visit for the day tomorrow, so I have been making coconut ice and shortbread as well as Bishop's cake!! I used some Saffron Craig fabrics, an assorted pack of five from Esme's, and just tie quilted at each corner of the centre patchwork. I put the other green tree fabric on the back, so it wouldn't go to waste.The Thomas play mat and this quilt are two thirds of my OPAM Goal, and so I just have The Very Hungry Caterpillar quilt left to sew.
This is always a very weird time of the year, I never know what day it is or what the proper date is either. It's a kind of yearly limbo and I'm looking forward to the New Year. I think I will write my Christmas Cards on Thursday, you never know. If the weather stays so nice and cool, I may even do some other jobs!! I am so happy it is cool, well, late teens, early twenties and sunny. Perfect Summer weather for us. People who would like it to be hotter should fly North to the mainland. Where it is either raining and there are floods or it is 40*C. There is an awful lot of weather about.
I didn't write anything for November's One Project A Month Goal because it was a secret, but I managed to complete it on time and I gave it to MrsDrWho last night. I made an Advent calendar Quilt for her, complete with treats!! Hurray. This month is the last month of the OPAM.
There, I look like a demented serial killer. It's hard taking a photo of one's eyebrows. Be afraid, be very afraid. I can see my green TARDIS in one photo!!! Yes, pretty much demonic and my eyes are quite pointy. However, fat fills out your wrinkles: a beauty routine to which I subscribe in a big way.
Peri and Gilly had a swim yesterday. Peri loves to swim, she swims to Olympic standards, she swims and looks to the shore and smiles so happily. Gilly has never been swimming. She swims like Harki: once she realised that she couldn't touch the bottom, she panicked and came straight back in!!! I love how happy Peri is and how interested Gilly is, until she goes in!! Peri is a long way out, if I was my dad I would be calling her in: up to the ankles is far enough I remember. I have another video of Peri fetching sticks. I am a rubbish thrower but she is a fabulous Retriever. I'll save that for later on.
Peri and Gilly look so slim when they are wet.
When she has finished her swim, Peri likes to play with the last stick. It is the only time she every really plays enthusiastically, and for a long time, with a toy. She thinks it is the best game ever!! Gilly is once again amazed at all the Swimming Traditions Peri has.
Last night was the final Trivia and MrsValley's team, with her husband, sons and their partners won!! Our team was very happy to see them win. Congratulations!!!
Today I am having a rest, I am crocheting some gold stars and making pincushion slash decorations. We'll see how that works for me!!!
I met my Goal for OPAM this month. I almost met and exceeded it, hindered only by the loss of a lone Tennis sock. If I could have found it I would have knitted up the other sock, after all I found the wool but I have no idea where I wrote the pattern.
And last but not least, The Witchery ahh Socks. These are the Through The Loops' Mystery KAL. Thanks to DrBones' Leonie for mentioning them on her blog!! The Mystery name made me think of the Witchery song by The Little River Band. Which you can hear, here. There used to be a clothes shop called Witchery and I think the ad was written for them first and then lengthened into a song. I kept singing "Mystery aah, aah, aah".
The Witchery aah Socks are knitted on 2.5mm needles using the lovely Elizabeth from Wired for Fibre. There was a clue every Friday and I managed to finish these on the last Day of October. They are being modelled on my sock blockers which I cut from my sewing machine box.
I haven't set my goal for November yet, I shall have to think of what I want to do. I know people everywhere are waiting with bated breath to read what I am making!!!
Spring is here: windy and humid weather, then rain, then sun and now snow is forecast again. One day we go to the dam and there are no puddles, the next day it's puddly and one further day along and the puddles have disappeared. Lorelai Gilmore is skimming the best water from the top of the puddle. Peri's not so interested in the water, I reckon she was off somewhere rolling in something smelly because Gilly stops and looks over to where we had been.
When we stop at the shop on the way home from our walk, I can see The Labradors sitting in the back. There is some jockeying for position, I believe they both want to be in the middle to see what is happening ahead. I think Gilly is winning, but Peri looks happy. She's just a happy girl. I am giving her extra pats at the moment. Just because.
This afternoon I am going to do some sewing, I am making a Dalek Bag. I have a picture of a Dalek, so it's going very well so far. MrsDrWho has lent me two seasons of Psych so I may watch some of that while I sew.
Who's Minding The Mint Slices?
Another pair of socks for the OPAM completed and jolly nice they are too.
These are The Mint Slice socks, using the Old Knittery Cashmere Merino in my custom dyed Mint Slice colour. Using my usual personal sock pattern with 64 stitches and 2.5mm needles. I did 26 stitches of 2x2 ribbing on the back of the leg just because I wanted to. I love them: they are deliciously yummy and the closest thing to chocolate I am likely to have near me without feeling poorly.
Peri has been taking advantage of the warm sunshine in between the rain. I think she is still basking in the glory of her visit to the Vet and ensuing rump steak!!!
Gilly has been investigating the empty dog food bag. Notice how Peri doesn't really care that her sister is trapped in the bag. Also notice how after I 'saved' her from the bag, all Gilly was really interested in was getting back in the bag.
Mrs Mauritius went on a holiday, if I could find the pertinent postcard I would put a picture here, and she went to the Hundertwasser Museum. She was amazed when I told her that Opal had manufactured sock wool in colours inspired by his art. I am knitting her a scarf in the lovely 5 or 6 ply Silver Spiral colour. I'm just doing a 1x1 rib with an even number of stitches and slipping the first stitch of every row. It's looking good so far.
and a Very Hungry Caterpillar panel and some material and flannel spots for Baby Electric.
MrsDrWho is so tired after a week of Learn to Swim that she has been laughing, a little maniacally I am afraid, at the latest Top 50 Jokes. She's also having trouble dressing herself. I would have though she would have had lots of training at LTS.
I still have my cold, but this morning when I woke up I could breathe, occasionally, through my nose. Big nasal breakthrough!!
Bloggy Book Club. The book I was most likely reading early this month was Don't Judge A Girl By Her Cover, Book 3 in the Gallagher Girls series. Unfortunately, I thought I had placed a old on #2, but Library Hold Placers can't be choosers and so I just read it. Yes, it's a YA book, a very YA book but I like it. It is amusing and witty and has twists and turns and a little bit of hard reality. The characters are a somewhat formulaic, but not too much and on the whole I am willing to overlook this for the amount of amusement I gained from the read. I have been reading quite a lot of YA lately: Todd McCaffrey, Terry Pratchett, Eoin Colfer, John Flanagan and Zizou Corder. I'm looking forward to the arrival of Book 2.
Now I am poaching some free range chicken breasts in lovely stock with garlic, chilli, onion, ginger, carrot, red onion and bok choy. Then I'll add the bok choy leaves and some rice vermicelli and chick peas for a restorative soup for tea. Tastes good, and is good for me!!
And Desi Harness in 'I Love Lucy'!!
The Labradors have their harnesses for riding in the car. They have been wearing them for a little while today. Peri is a star, she wears hers with great aplomb and style.
Lorelai Gilmore tried to eat hers.
I have had a cold, a head cold, and it has been all Jane Bennett at Netherfield with only panadol to make me feel better. I spent most of the week in bed, sleeping, and The Labradors were OK for the first few days but then they really needed to go for a walk. We went for the kind of walk where one sits at a picnic table and one's Labrador companions run about happily.
Yesterday Peri went to the Vet and donated blood for a sick dog.
Three, yes three, separate medical people came out to tell me how very good she was and how pleased they were with her. What a brave and good girl she is. Dr Jessica said that Peri should have rump steak to help her replenish her strength. So she did. I am so proud of her, she has become such a sensible girl!!!
Gilly's new favourite thing to do is to lie down in the creek or the paddle pool, to get the benefit from the cool water.
Peri looks so happy in the pool and wearing her harness. They are going to wear them for a few minutes each day, it's only eight minutes in the car to the dam, and then they will try sitting in the back seat of the old car. We'll see how it goes.
The Typepad People have still not fixed the spell check and it is still difficult for some people to leave a comment. My help ticket says they are working on it. This does not augur well, as the last time they tagged a ticket this way, was 13 months ago and there has not been a resolution as yet. I don't know why they have to upgrade something that was working perfectly well.
Now, I am off to bed for a nap, it's been a sunny warm day and I have stayed awake thus far. It's probable twelve to seven that Peri and Gilly could force themselves to have a nap too.
Oh I haven't talked about the book I was reading at the start of the month. I will catch that up next time.
You know it is time to get your act together when friends start emailing to ask if you are OK. I am OK, just tired: tired out from the regime of SSS daily posting, Daylight Saving and the juggling of drugs by my specialist.
Self Stitched September was great, but thinking about what to wear and then photographing it every day was a mammoth task. I am the person who can wear the same thing (washed) every day for a week if I am in the mood. As I am wearing the same thing this afternoon as I wore yesterday!!
Daylight Saving seemed fine at first, but then the weird time delay kicked in and I would lie there unable to sleep, wake late and not be home from walking The Labradors until lunch time.The repeat ad infinitum.
We are trying to decrease the amount of one of the drugs I take to keep me well. It has lots of horrid side effects and because my numbers are reasonable, it's the perfect time to try. Of course fewer tablets means it is less efficacious. And I think I have had a dizzy woozy thing as well. Who knows??
So basically I have been meaning to post but it has seems such a gargantuan task that I have put it off, and had a nap!! Also, Typepad has been Upgraded and of course now things on their Compose page have stopped working. As is their wont, they always say the issue is at my end, but I am wise to their tactics and I know it is not. I am trying to keep up my Please Fix Things Campaign, and now their Engineers are Looking Into Things. The Firefox Spell Check won't work, and the Typepad checker is slow and not Australian, so please excuse any errors. I can spell, but I can't type.
One Mint Slice sock using the lovely Knittery cashmere sock wool, the nice thick one that Daphne specially dyed for me. Just a k2,P2 rib cuff, then I continued the rib for part of the back and part of the heel. I love the colours and the way they play.
These are The Through The Loops 2010 Mystery Socks, knitted with Elizabeth from the lovely Katie's Wired for Fibre. Believe me, they are much greener than they look. There's aclue every week. I would have knitted the other heelflap and turn by now but I have broken almost two paxckets of the wooden 2.5mm needles. I need to buy some metal ones, but there are none to be had here. I wonder where the best place to buy them is??
Finally MrsDrWho has her Croc Socks. I knitted myself a pair in plain green with the same pattern, meant to look like crocodile skin. It narrows to a point on the foot. Love the rainbow wool, clown vomit MrsDrWho calls it, dyed by Katt years ago. It is nice squooshy wool, and I love the pooling, different on each sock.
The Keating Cardigan for Baby Irish just needs to be washed and buttoned up, and it will be ready to go.
New $20 shoes with four different greens!!!!
New to me TV from MrsDrWho's mum and a new HD DVR with twin tuners. It took me a day to move the old TV, SD DVR and VCR two metres to the left and then bring the TV from the dining room to the lounge room and set it up. I had a tiny failure to make my new DVR and TV communicate by MrsDrWho talked me through it. I can record two channels at once and watch another station too. In our house we can now record five things simultaneously, at varying degrees of definition. I know, I have no life, but if there is ever anything good on TV it is all on at once.
MrsDrWho invited lots of people for Kebabs, she made a bazillion. In the same way, I have been whipping up a sponge every few days, and filling it will raspberries and cream, or here I brushed on some home made lemon syrup, lemon curd and the cream and a dusting of icing sugar on top. My new oven makes fabulous sponges.
Peri has the perfect imprint of the exhaust on her front. Every time I try to wash it off she runs away. I think she thinks she has a cool tattoo. In typical Spring fashion we had a few days of torrential rain, snow down to 300m and a very cold change. Peri and Gilly loved the big puddles that appeared overnight. It was raining so hard the rain drops managed to get on the camera lens. Or maybe Lorelai Gilmore has a halo?? You can see the rain in the puddle. They were Very Wet Dogs and I was wringing wet too.
There, I think I have somewhat caught up now. I just made some individual sticky date puddings to take to MrsDrWho's. We are going to watch the third episode of a Farscape three-parter and Star Gate Universe. A happy afternoon. I will try to be back sooner, rather than later!!
When I was small, I had some Disney books which came with a little 45. You put the record onto the record-player and then when Tinkerbell spoke, you read along with the book. I had quite a lot. I loved them.
You will know it's time to turn the page when Tinkerbell rings her little bell like this, (ring)!!
Let's being now with September's OPAM.
I met my goal this month and it was to make a case for my new camera.
I followed this tutorial and used some lovely Kaffe Fasset material, two layers of cotton quilt batting and some of my Crazy Lime Skirt fabric for a lining. I quilted lengthways with green Perle thread and then around various circles as well.
I accidentally matched the pattern. I sewed a kind of bound button hole for the camera strap.
Peri Naughty and Lorelai Gilmore have been making the most of the newly exposed dirt in the garden. It soaks up all the heat from the Sun, so it is great to lie on. As usual, they got so hot they had to come inside.
This is what I wore today. At 7-45am when I went to the supermarket, and for Morning Tea. Then I changed into my pottering around the house clothes.
Peri has been all put out because I was putting wool into zip-lock bags and it ruined her whole afternoon. She could sleep in her chair but she wanted me to stop moving about and putting things in different places. Peri digs holes.
Lorelai Gilmore digs holes too but she doesn't look so guilty. She looks breezily carefree. Gilly isn't daunted by things being moved about either. Ah, the adaptability of the very young.
If I was sending Spam emails to someone, I would not use said person's email address. Come on, I would not be sending myself emails about, well, the things you are sending me. In my name. For heaven's sake, smarten up you Spammers. No, actually don't. I like it that you are not very bright.
In the Great Wool Zip-Locking I found three not quite pairs of socks. Happily, this can be my OPAM for October. One pair for MrsDrWho- Rainbow socks- and two for me- Tennis socks and an unnamed one..
Only one more day of Self Stitched September to go. I am hoping to finish my toile and wear it. I would feel happy with that. That's my small goal for tomorrow.
Two new pairs of shoes. The aqua ones matched what I was wearing today for Self Stitched September, so I bought them and wore them out the shop. The pale green ones are very cute and I think my Swirl socks will match them perfectly. I think I could even get away with the aqua ones in Winter on a cold but dry day. I will need a matching pair of socks for them too. Where are the green Summer sandals though?
Today we had an intruder in the garden. The Labradors were beside themselves. Peri had her hackles up and she was not happy.
In the end, Peri and Gilly's combined crossness saw the other Labrador off. My word, I have never heard so much cross barking!! You can just see the Intruder trotting off down the hill.
I bought Gilly a new toy. She is always very suspicious: it this a toy or a trick?? Once she has confirmed its toyedness she leaps about all over the house, squeaking the toy endlessly.
I finished my OPAM camera case so I 'wore' that as well. The camera is not inside because I needed it to take a photo. It's a button to be going on with though MrsDrWho predicts that once it's sewn on, it is The Button whether I like it or not!! More details on the case on the last day of the month.
I almost forgot to post today. Nothing new clothes-wise to see here though. I wore my cardigan today for Self Stitched September.
This morning when I was walking The Labradors I wasn't looking where I was going, I was looking ahead. They were on their leads because we were nearing the road. It's an internal park road but I still make them come and have their leads on. We walk the last ten metres and then they sit and wait to check for cars. Peri and Gilly weren't pulling and when I fell almost flat on my face, they didn't pull then either. They milled about waiting to see what I would do next. I felt OK then but it didn't take long until I began to feel all kinds of aches and pains!! I skinned my elbow through my polar fleece jacket too. Ouch!!
I must have imbued The Labradors with a zest for synchronisation. They are very good at it.
I have made a late start on my OPAM project for this month: a case for my camera. I bought a fat quarter of some green Kaffe Fasset fabric and I am using this tutorial as my inspiration. I interfaced and then added wadding. I hand quilted along straight lines and then I stitched around various circles along the centre. I am going to interface and quilt the lining before I do any sewing together.
The Keating Cardi just needs to be seamed and washed. I finished all the knitting while I sat under my quilt on the couch this afternoon and watched the last two episodes of CSI. They have been sitting there waiting to be watched for weeks.
And now we are off to bed. When you are a a grown up and you fall over it is much farther to fall than when you are a child. I shall be carefully watching where I walk tomorrow.


If you want to take the motor apart, or want to take the gear axle out, start to take the disk valve cover of, then the take the disk valve out, next step replaces screw under the front crankshaft with the fixation screw, then take the center pieces of the clutch release out as don at the photo, you can then loosen the center nut, without the motor turning, you do the same then you tighten the nut, if you not want to change the clutch plate, then don't take the 4 other 5 mm. screw out, just take the complete clutch out.
Use the 2 long screw from the cover to press the cover of the gear box.
Use 2 O-Ring to hold the shift fork axle in the right position then you take the gear axle in or out.
Then you mount the gear box cover, is it good to use ring over axle so you damage the oil seal, the ring is 24 mm. inside and 25 mm. outside.


There were a lot of pirates plundering Kingsbury Elementary School on Monday as the school held its Family Reading Night encouraging families to not only make reading fun, but also to show how reading can be extended with STEAM activities. Quite a few "recruits" turned out to join the crew, working hard to earn their booty - gold coins collected at each station. These eager mates made their own pirate hats, read about pirates and participated in an aluminum foil boat challenge with pennies to see what it would take to keep their boat afloat or send it to the darkest depths of the ocean. The children enjoyed each of the activities along with their parents and were treated to a pizza dinner in the cafeteria because being a pirate really makes you hungry. All of this was under the leadership of the Language Arts Committee and Captain and KES Principal Phillip Jackson, who was pleased with the turnout and enthusiasm of the children and staff.

Marie Suize, surnommée , née le  à Thônes (royaume de Piémont-Sardaigne aujourd'hui Haute-Savoie depuis l'annexion de la Savoie par la France en 1860) et morte le  dans la région de Jackson (Californie), est une femme de caractère qui s'installe en 1850 en Californie au temps de la ruée vers l'or.

Elle travaille comme n'importe quel homme, brandit le revolver pour défendre ses concessions et s'habille d'un pantalon, tenue plus commode que la robe pour gratter la terre. Cet accoutrement, impensable à l'époque en Californie, lui vaut de multiples procès. Tenace, elle finit par obtenir l'autorisation officielle de porter la culotte.

Biographie
Jeanne Marie Suize naît le  à Thônes, dans le duché de Savoie, au pied du plateau des Glières et de la chaîne des Aravis. Septième enfant – et seconde fille – d'une fratrie de douze (7 garçons et 5 filles), elle est la fille de Claude Suize, originaire de La Clusaz, propriétaire de l'auberge L'hôtel de la Russie de Thônes, et de Marie Adélaïde Machet, originaire de ce bourg.

Premières années en France

En 1846, elle quitte sa vallée pour  où vivent deux de ses frères. Elle s'y emploie comme ménagère mais subit un revers. Une femme la recueille affamée près du Pont Neuf et lui procure un emploi dans un journal. Quand elle apprend la découverte de l'or, elle n'a qu'une hâte, partir vers la Californie.

Le , Marie Suize embarque dans le port du Havre sur le Ferrière, un trois-mâts construit en 1847 à Bordeaux qui appartient à Alphonse de Rothschild et transporte plus de cent cinquante passagers. Nul ne sait comment elle s'est acquittée du prix non seulement de son billet, mais également de celui de son compatriote François Jacquart de Châtillon-sur-Cluses. Compte tenu des dates de traversée, Marie Suize n'a pas pu en tout état de cause profiter de la loterie des lingots d'or.

Sur le registre de bord, son nom figure en , après celui de Louis Bulliod de Lyon et de François Jacquart, tous trois déclarés  et . Lors des formalités d'embarquement, Marie est enregistrée comme étant de sexe masculin et surtout âgée de , ce qui ne manque pas de surprendre lorsque l'on observe que ledit registre mentionne qu'elle a présenté un passeport, lequel, normalement, devrait permettre de noter qu'elle en aura 26 dans moins d'un mois.

Avant son départ pour San Francisco, elle se fait en effet couper les cheveux et revêt des habits masculins, mais on n'en connait pas les raisons. Commencée le , la traversée n'a qu'une seule escale à Madère le , suivie du passage à « contresens » du cap Horn, et cinq mois plus tard le , le Ferrière atteint le port de San Francisco.

Durant tout ce temps, dans la promiscuité que l'on imagine, Marie a dû dissimuler sa féminité.

Années suivantes en Californie
Rendue à San Francisco, Marie Suize ne s'attarde guère dans cette ville aux rues boueuses et grouillantes d'une foule bigarrée de pionniers, commerçants et aventuriers. Elle part vers la région de la ,  au sud de l'endroit où James W. Marshall, l'ouvrier de Johann Sutter, a découvert le  la première pépite dans l'American River, à Sutter's Mill.

Pour se rendre dans cette vallée, il lui faut remonter en bateau à vapeur le fleuve Sacramento, jusqu'à la ville de même nom, fondée en  par Johann Sutter et située dans le comté éponyme, et de là, poursuivre ensuite en diligence ou à dos de mule pour parvenir à Jackson, née en 1848 de la ruée vers l'or. Chef-lieu du comté d'Amador, cette cité ressemble à toutes les villes de l'Ouest américain, celles des westerns : les maisons de bois sont alignées de chaque côté de la rue principale et sur la place centrale se dresse un arbre qui sert surtout aux pendaisons.

Marie Pantalon
L'or, c'est ce qui l'intéresse. Elle s'allie avec André Douet, un Charentais, dans une de ces sociétés de mineurs fondée en deux poignées de main, peut-être un acte vaguement notarié, pas vraiment enregistré mais qui vaut son pesant d'or. Si à la fin de l'engagement le commanditaire n'est pas remboursé, l'engagement se poursuit jusqu'au décès du débiteur dont tous les biens deviennent alors la propriété du bailleur de fonds.

Marie Suize acquiert ainsi une concession et ne passe pas inaperçue ; les rares femmes que l'on rencontre sur les lieux d'extraction se cantonnent habituellement dans des rôles de bonnes à tout faire, de blanchisseuses ou de cuisinières. Marie fait désordre : une femme à la tête d'une concession est déjà un cas exceptionnel, mais un jour elle apparaît en pantalon, un solide pantalon de mineur car elle en a assez de piocher la terre avec des jupons au milieu des graviers humides. On ajoute même que mieux qu'un homme, elle manie la pelle et la pioche et n'hésite pas à sortir le revolver en cas de nécessité.

Qu'une femme se comporte en homme, boive, fume, crache et jure, pareil comportement ne peut qu'attirer les foudres d'une société où prospèrent le puritanisme et le machisme, tous les ingrédients pour incommoder les hommes de l'époque enclins à voir le sexe faible devant les fourneaux, accessoirement au saloon pour les loisirs du samedi soir. Qui plus est, elle est célibataire et doit se confronter aux autres chercheurs d'or. Marie n'a pas froid aux yeux et ceux qui vont s'y risquer apprennent à leur dépens qu'elle est prête à défendre sa personne et ses biens

Chercheur d'or chanceux, Marie exploite des filons fructueux avec ses équipes. C'est elle qui signe les accords, mène ses troupes et sait défendre ses tunnels les armes à la mains. D'autres prospecteurs et le «  » sauront bientôt combien il en coûte de s'attaquer à « Jeanne d'Arc », son premier surnom. Dans la plus pure tradition des meilleurs westerns, elle le prouve quand en 1860 des Canadiens veulent prospecter son propre placer limitrophe du leur. L'épisode a été ainsi rapporté par Le Petit Californien :

C'est ainsi qu'elle devient rapidement une célébrité locale et le pantalon y est sûrement pour quelque chose puisque dès ce moment-là, on la surnomme « Marie Pantalon ». Il n'est pas impossible même que Marie soit la première Savoyarde à avoir porté le jean.

Sans doute ne sait-elle pas qu'elle a changé de nationalité à la même époque et qu'elle est devenue française en vertu des dispositions du traité de Turin (1860) qui officialise l'acte par lequel le duché de Savoie et le comté de Nice sont réunis ou annexés à la France.

Procès
Le pantalon lui va mieux que tout autre vêtement, aux dires de ses concitoyens. Car elle n'a rien d'une beauté grecque, ni de la douceur des traits que l'on prête aux femmes ; elle est sailor built (« bâtie comme un marin »), autrement dit hommasse. Nul document ne laisse supposer qu'elle eut des hommes dans sa vie, hormis des associés. Sur les actes notariés à son nom figure également celui de son commanditaire André Douet, mais leurs liens se seraient limités aux seules relations d'affaires...

Sa tenue vestimentaire, digne d'un « sans-culotte », n'est pas sans lui poser problème. La loi californienne interdit à l'époque le travestissement, à la différence de la France qui autorise les femmes  depuis l'ordonnance du . Marie Suize est femme et porte le pantalon : elle est par conséquent travestie, donc en infraction avec la loi ! S'ensuivent une série de procès.

Le premier procès se déroule à Virginia City (Nevada) où elle souhaite ouvrir un commerce. Le tribunal la condamne à reprendre la robe et à quitter la ville. Plus tard en 1871, à San Francisco, lors d'une halte dans un café, elle est arrêtée et envoyée devant le tribunal. Le juge Sawyer lui inflige une amende de cinq dollars. À Jackson, le troisième et dernier procès prend une tournure différente. La gent féminine se sent concernée. Si la majorité des femmes désapprouvent son comportement, il semblerait qu'une association de suffragettes se soit intéressée à sa cause.

Féministes avant l'heure, ces dames descendent dans la rue pour la soutenir. Un jury est spécialement constitué pour régler son cas. Elle clame qu'elle portait le pantalon quand elle débarqua sur le sol américain. L'affaire tourne à son avantage. Les jurés finissent par considérer que son cas n'a rien de répréhensible, que c'est perdre son temps en trop de parlottes et qu'il est préférable d'aller à la chasse. Elle est relaxée. Pour en finir une bonne fois, elle adresse une demande officielle aux autorités de Virginia City afin d'obtenir le droit de porter le pantalon. Elle aura gain de cause et l'habit qui lui vaut maints ennuis, contribue par la même occasion à augmenter sa renommée.

Quand une centaine de mineurs lancent une pétition pour que soient entrepris des travaux d'adduction d'eau destinés à faciliter leur labeur, elle sera la seule femme à apporter sa signature sur le papier. Non seulement en appliquant son nom en toutes lettres, preuve qu'elle sait écrire, mais en le complétant par la formule qui importune, en signant . Il en sera ainsi pour tous les actes qu'elle rédigera par la suite. Elle revendique son surnom. Elle s'en enorgueillit. Les journalistes s'intéressent à son cas. Les gazettes parlent d'elle.

Femme d'affaires avisée

En 1854, parce qu'ils ne roulent pas sur l'or, plusieurs habitants du Val de Thônes décident de faire le voyage à leur tour. Eux aussi ont émigré dans une première étape à Paris. Eux aussi aspirent à la terre promise. Ils choisissent la région de Jackson Creek. Ils ont appris que Marie y rencontre le succès, deux de ses frères, Albert et Joseph, le petit dernier, font partie du groupe. Joseph est serrurier. En 1885, il habite San Francisco. Puis sa trace s'égare. Il est peut-être resté à San Francisco où le travail est florissant dans les métiers du bâtiment.

Albert a rejoint sa sœur. Jusqu'en 1862, il partage les mêmes activités. Puis il quitte la Californie, après un procès dont Marie payera les amendes. Il rentre à Thônes avec suffisamment d'argent pour couler une fin de vie tranquille. On l'invite aux veillées pour l'entendre évoquer ses tribulations dans un pays inquiétant où l'on pend les condamnés sur l'arbre de la grand-place.

En femme d'affaires avisée, toujours en association avec André Douet, Marie va multiplier ses activités. Elle achète des terres non seulement pour exploiter le sous-sol, mais aussi pour mettre en valeur la riche terre en surface. Elle achète un ranch dans la région de Jackson, à Secreta Gulch près de , qu'elle baptise French Garden. Elle produit des arbres fruitiers et des mûriers, son projet est de se lancer dans l'élevage des vers à soie.

Mais c'est vers la vigne qu'elle s'oriente. Elle plante un cépage d'origine hongroise, le zinfandel, venant probablement de l'est des États-Unis, toujours cultivé de nos jours et devenu traditionnel en Californie. Elle emploie cinq personnes et sa production s'élève à cinquante mille litres de vin par an. Afin de la commercialiser, elle ouvre deux magasins, l'un à Virginia City (Nevada) et l'autre à San Francisco.

Elle vante son vin et son brandy par le biais de la publicité dans les journaux. Ses annonces parlent tantôt de Madame Marie Suize Pantalon, tantôt de Mrs Pants, selon la respectabilité qu'elle veut se donner. Elle ira même jusqu'à se vieillir à Virginia City, une ville de perdition à cette époque-là.

Spéculatrice moins avisée
On peut affirmer que Marie a pleinement réussi. Mais elle aime jouer en bourse, pouvant aller jusqu'à perdre  en une seule séance. Finalement, elle se laisse entraîner dans l'aventure du Comstock Lode, ce filon d'or et d'argent qui promet monts et merveilles et qui la ruine, comme tous les autres. Elle avouera à un journaliste avoir amassé de son vivant un mètre cube d'or. Mais elle perdra sa fortune en spéculant, en achetant et revendant.

Le , elle meurt d'une pneumonie dans sa propriété de Secreta Gulch, près de Jackson dans le comté d'Amador. La Patrie, journal de Montréal (Québec), relate la fin de sa vie : .

Son ranch devient immédiatement le ranch Douet, mais il faut dix ans à André Douet avant de pouvoir le revendre en 1902 à d'autres Français, les Lintillac ; il meurt subitement en 1904 près de Clinton.

Sépulture anonyme

Morte pauvre, le , Marie Suize n'a pas eu droit à une stèle dans le cimetière Saint Patrick de Jackson où elle repose dans une tombe anonyme. Ainsi, celle qui, selon Maurice Lacombe, , est morte sans un sou, enterrée dans une tombe inconnue. Celle qui en 1870 déjà, est présentée comme la championne de la revendication pour les droits de la femme en Californie, n'a pas droit à la moindre pierre tombale.

Le temps a passé, plus d'un siècle s'est écoulé. Aujourd'hui le ranch de Secreta Gulch est toujours en activité et l'on commercialise toujours un vin dont l'étiquette porte son nom. La maison édifiée par Marie est la seule bâtisse de l'époque encore debout, pour la raison simple qu'elle fut conçue à l'image des chalets du Val de Thônes. Constituée de bois, elle est posée sur un soubassement de pierres, alors que les autres bâtisses étaient faites de planches jusqu'au sol.

Dans le cimetière de Jackson, il n'existe aucune trace de la tombe de Marie Suize. Mais la Savoyarde n'a pas été oubliée : le , à l'occasion du  anniversaire de la création du comté d'Amador, une pierre tombale est posée cent douze années après sa mort à la mémoire de la femme au pantalon, militante active de la revendication et de la lutte pour les droits de la femme en Californie, dans un État où le droit de vote pour les femmes fut reconnu dès l'année 1911.

Hommages
Susan G. Butruille a tiré de son ouvrage Women's voices from the Mother Lode un spectacle sur Marie Pantalon qu'elle a présenté à Thônes en 1999 puis donné ensuite dans plusieurs lieux de Californie, Oregon, etc. De son côté, pour différentes associations, Monique Fillion, présidente d'honneur des Amis du Val de Thônes, a présenté maintes fois une conférence avec projection sur l'héroïne de la ruée vers l'or en Californie.

En 2004, pour le  anniversaire de la création du comté d'Amador, un insolite Bastille Day franco-américain se déroule le  à Jackson, chef-lieu du comté, en plein cœur du pays des chercheurs d'or, dans le cimetière catholique de cette petite ville où Marie Suize a vécu. Ce jour-là, le Sesquicentennial Committee, le comité d'organisation des festivités, et la société d'Histoire The Questers ont décidé d'honorer les pionniers de la création du comté et parmi ceux-ci une célébrité de la ville, au temps de la ruée vers l'or : Madame Pantaloon, comme la désignent les Américains, Marie Pantalon telle qu'elle demeure dans la mémoire des Thônains. Marie Suize Pantalon est déclarée femme de l'année 2004 du comté d'Amador.

En ce jour du  anniversaire de la naissance à Thônes de Marie Suize est dévoilée une stèle funéraire entièrement financée par les Américains, non loin de celle de Jean Allard, originaire de Saint-Jean-de-Sixt, un de ses compagnons de travail dès 1854. Les amis du Val de Thônes ont fait réaliser la plaque posée sur le monument sur laquelle est gravée l'unique « portrait » que l'on a d'elle : sa signature, cas unique parmi des centaines de tracés plus ou moins malhabiles des autres chercheurs d'or, au bas d'une pétition pour l'amélioration de l'adduction d'eau sur les exploitations. À l'époque les femmes n'étaient pas autorisées à signer un tel document.

A 15-year-old Justin Bieber told a racist joke to friends … knowing his own photog was in the room and rolling.
TMZ got this video 4 years ago but we decided not to post it … in large part because he was 15 and immediately told his friends what he did was stupid. People connected with Bieber say one African American was present at the time he told the joke, although that really doesn't matter much.
The video was posted Sunday on a British pay site.
Sources connected with Bieber say he is "frustrated and sad" and now wants to address it publicly, which we're told he will do in the next day.

SAUDI ARABIA Baghdad events create disillusion Arabs shocked, in disbelief
By Donna Abu-NasrAssociated PressRIYADH, Saudi Arabia The fall of Baghdad provoked shock and disbelief among Arabs, who expressed hope that other oppressive regimes would crumble but also disappointment that Saddam Hussein did not put up a better fight against America.Why did he fall that way? Why so fast? asked Yemeni homemaker Umm Ahmed, tears streaming down her face. Hes a coward. Now I feel sorry for his people.Arabs clustered at TV sets in shop windows, coffee shops, kitchens and offices to watch the astounding pictures of U.S. troops overwhelming an Arab capital for the first time ever. Feeling betrayed and misled, some turned off their sets in disgust when jubilant crowds in Baghdad celebrated the arrival of U.S. troops.We discovered that all what the (Iraqi) information minister was saying was all lies, said Ali Hassan, a government employee in Cairo, Egypt. Now no one believes Al-Jazeera anymore.In a live report from Baghdad, correspondent Shaker Hamed of Abu Dhabi Television said: We are all in shock. How did things come to such an end? How did U.S. tanks enter the center of the city? Where is the resistance? This collapse is puzzling. Was it the result of the collapse of communications between the commanders? Between the political leadership? How come Baghdad falls so easily.The shock came after weeks of hearing Saddams government pledge a great victory or fight to the death against infidel invaders.We Arabs are clever only at talking, Haitham Baghdadi, 45, said bitterly in Damascus, Syria. Where are the Iraqi weapons? Where are the Iraqi soldiers?Behind the disbelief lay a worry over the prospect of an American occupation of an Arab nation.However, Tannous Basil, a 47-year-old cardiologist in Sidon, Lebanon, said Saddams regime was a dictatorship and had to go.I dont like the idea of having the Americans here, but we asked for it, he said. Why dont we see the Americans going to Finland, for example? They come here because our area is filled with dictatorships like Saddams.Tarek al-Absi, a Yemeni university professor, was hopeful Saddams end presaged more democracy in the region.This is a message for the Arab regimes, and could be the beginning of transformation in the Arab region, al-Absi said. Without the honest help of the Western nations, the reforms will not take place in these countries.From Kuwait, which was occupied by Saddams forces before the 1991 Gulf War, came one of the few statements of unadulterated support. Sheik Sabah Al Ahmed Al Sabah, Kuwaits deputy prime minister and foreign minister, said, Joy fills our hearts as we see our Iraqi brothers ... express their jubilation at victory.In comments carried by state-owned Kuwait Television, he praised the huge sacrifices made by the coalition to free Iraqis.But for most Arabs, the overwhelming emotions were those of distaste and worry.Three men having tea and smoking in a coffee shop in Riyadh were unsettled as they watched television, even though they said they were against Saddam and felt sorry for the long-suffering Iraqis.I cant say that Im happy about whats going on because these are non-Muslim forces that have gone in and I hope they will not stay, said Mohammed al-Sakkaf, a 58-year-old businessman.Another of the three, Walid Abdul-Rahman, said he was disturbed by the sight of U.S. troops lounging in Saddams palaces or draping the U.S. flag around the head of a Saddam statue. Liberation is nobler than that, he said. They should not be so provocative.In Jordan, hotel receptionist Wissam Fakhoury, 28, expressed disgust at the Baghdad crowds.I spit on them, he said. Do those crowds who are saluting the Americans believe that the United States will let them live better? Fakhoury said. Americans will loot their oil and control their resources, leaving them nothing.Bahraini physician Hassan Fakhro, 62, said he was saddened because even if Saddam was a dictator, he represented some kind of Arab national resistance to the foreign invaders the Americans and the British.After an anti-war march in Khartoum, Sudan, lawyer Ali al-Sayed said U.S. troops should not misinterpret the relief as an invitation to stay.Those people under oppression will not have any national feeling, so they will be happy to see someone removing a dictator and liberating them, al-Sayed said. But the moment they feel free and liberated, they will not tolerate a foreign presence.Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, an uncomfortable U.S. ally in the war, said the quickest way to achieve stability now would be for U.S. troops to withdraw. Iraqis must take control over of their country as fast as possible, Mubarak told Egypts official news agency, MENA.Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud, looking upset at a news conference, called for a quick end to Iraqs occupation. In a rare departure from diplomacy, Saud responded to a question about Arab anger toward the United States with: I dont want to talk about anger if you dont mind today.

Would you ever think to eat a fern? I eat anything that won't make me sick, so I sure have, but young fern shoots are not the first thing that comes to mind for most people when they think of spring. Oddly, they are the first thing that comes to my mind when someone says "spring." Early spring is fiddlehead season, and these crunchy vegetables are one thing I look forward to when winter is ending. Fiddleheads are the young shoots of the ostrich fern, and I am surprised that they are not more popular than they are, the stem is crunchy, and the leafy spiral in the middle is soft and sweet. Plus, fiddleheads are cute, but not too cute to eat (like baby bunnies).
Fiddleheads do not have a long shelf life. I generally cook them the day I buy them, or perhaps the next day. It is not that they go bad, but that they tend to oxidize quickly, which will make them look less appealing. You may want to cut off the dark, oxidized skin on the fiddleheads to prepare them for cooking, which is very easy as it is just the skin that oxidizes and turns brown. It is not required, though, as the oxidized skin will not contribute any off flavors to the fiddleheads.
One thing to keep in mind is that fiddleheads should not be eaten raw, they contain compounds that are both unpleasant, and could potentially make a person ill. But cooking them makes them entirely safe to eat, and tenderizes the shoot as well. Fiddleheads are also surprisingly high in anti-oxidants, much more so than even blueberries, as well as omega-3 fatty acids, making them both healthful and tasty. Fiddleheads are very high in fiber and vitamin A, and low in everything that you don't want. They are an excellent spring treat, particularly for those who are watching what they eat (e.g. no fat, no cholesterol, almost no carbs, and very low in calories, only 35 per 1/2 cup serving). Many recipes call for boiling or steaming them, which works well and doesn't add any fat or calories from oil, however I prefer to saute them with a little oil and garlic. That said, I have been known to steam my fiddleheads prior to a quick saute in order to speed the process and this can also reduce the potential for bitterness that may be found in them. They also go well in pasta and stir fry, but nothing beats a good old saute to bring out their own natural flavor. Fern shoots may not be an obvious star of a dish, but you would be surprised at their delicate and interesting flavor. Even my children find fiddleheads a fun and interesting diversion to the usual vegetable argument.
N.B. a few drops of lemon juice can bring out the flavor and help prevent darkening (oxidation) of the fern shoots.
1. Cut off any black ends of the fiddleheads, and slice off any black/brown skin from the stems.
2. Wash the fiddleheads and pat dry.
4. Put the garlic in the oil and turn heat to medium high.
5. When the garlic starts to sizzle, add the fiddleheads. Turn the heat down to medium and saute fiddleheads until soft, about 10 minutes, then serve. Salt to taste.
Serves 1, but this recipe easily scales to as many servings as you need.

This is a short 40 page publication of a debate between Thomas J. DiLorenzo and Joseph A. Morris from 2007. Thomas J. DoLorenzo contends that Abraham Lincoln was a tyrant and enemy of freedom who disregarded the constitution and destroyed the very Union he claimed to preserve. Joseph A. Morris recognizes that Abraham Lincoln was not perfect, nor is it befitting to elevate him to sainthood, yet Morris believes that the "nation" which Lincoln brought forth is the epitome of American freedom.
This book does an excellent job of illustrating the gravity of the debate over American freedom, as well as outlining the key points of tension between the two views of Lincoln and his legacy. I would recommend this book for anyone wishing to read a comparative outline of Abraham Lincoln's perspective on freedom.

What's next for Jordan Bell after he becomes a restricted free agent?
The Warriors gave Jordan Bell a $1.8 million qualifying offer to make him a restricted free agent
DALLAS, TX – NOVEMBER 17: Jordan Bell #2 of the Golden State Warriors reacts to a call in the second half against the Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center on November 17, 2018 in Dallas, Texas.

The Warriors showed they still feel somewhat intrigued with Jordan Bell by giving him a $1.8 million qualifying offer on Friday to make him a restricted free agent, according to league sources. The Athletic first reported.
The next question: to what extent do the Warriors feel invested in Bell? They plan to canvas other front-court players in free agency before committing to Bell, who has received mixed reviews in his past two seasons with his consistency and maturity. Should Bell receive any outside questions, it appears unlikely the Warriors will exhaust their resources into keeping Bell. After all, the Warriors drafted Villanova senior forward Eric Paschall with No. 41 pick in this year's NBA Draft, and he may become better suited for a consistent rotation spot.
Nonetheless, the Warriors still might consider Bell a worthy investment. Damian Jones is the lone center under contract next season, and neither DeMarcus Cousins, Jonas Jerebko or Andrew Bogut are expected to return. As for Bell, the Warriors remain intrigued with Bell's trajectory even if it is littered with question marks.
The Warriors paid the Chicago Bulls $3.5 million for the rights to their No. 38 pick of the 2017 NBA Draft, which was used on Bell. It appeared the Warriors found a steal in that year's draft, as Bell impressed the Warriors immediately with his athleticism and passing. Bell soon became saddled with inconsistency with both his play and preparation.
The Warriors then became encouraged with Bell's positional versatility against the Houston Rockets in the 2018 Western Conference Finals as well as Cleveland in the 2018 NBA Finals. Hence, the Warriors believed Bell would have grow significantly in his second season with more minutes. Instead, Bell averaged 3.3 points on 51.6 percent shooting and 2.7 rebounds in 11.6 minutes, a decrease from what he posted his rookie season in points (4.6), shooting percentage (62.7 percent), rebounds (3.6) and minutes played (14.2).
| THE KD FREE AGENCY TRACKER: Go here for one-stop, rumor-mill shopping |
Bell finished with those numbers despite various opportunities to crack the front-court rotation. First, Warriors coach Steve Kerr held an open competition for the center spot with Damian Jones, Kevon Looney and Bell while Cousins rehabbed his left Achilles tendon. Kerr quickly determined Jones as the definitive starter and Looney as the definitive backup. Bell failed to take advantage of increased minutes after Jones injured his left pectoral muscle on Dec. 1. During those times, Bell either admittedly tried too hard into taking mid-range jumpers, reaching for steals or failing to close out properly on defenders.
Concerns about his maturity also arose. Bell had an argument with Kerr in a team huddle after Kerr became upset with his defensive hustle during mop-up duty in a regular-season game in late January against the Los Angeles Lakers. Later in March, the Warriors suspended Bell for one game without pay after charging a gift shop candle to assistant coach Mike Brown. Though this was part of a prank other teammates performed on each other, the Warriors took exception to Bell performing the stunt on a coach.
Still, the Warriors liked how Bell accepted responsibility and eventually became prepared for an unexpected role. With the Warriors losing Kevin Durant against Houston in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals with a strained left calf, the Warriors entered a decisive Game 6 without much depth. Bell represented one of several key reserves to excel. He finished with four points, two rebounds, two blocks, and an assists in 11 minutes. Kerr then played Bell for an average of 13.5 minutes per game in the Warriors' four-game sweep over Portland in the Western Conference Finals. Kerr did not lean on Bell as much in the NBA Finals for match-up purposes.
Nonetheless, the Warriors see Bell's upside. They still hold out some hope he can sharpen his fundamentals and work habits, while leaning on his athleticism and speed. Bell will soon find out how much the Warriors will invest in his potential.

The definition of "hosting" does not describe one service, but several services that offer a variety of functions to a domain name. Having a site and e-mails, for instance, are two independent services although in the general case they come together, so most of the people consider them as one single service. In fact, each domain name has a number of DNS records called A and MX, which show the server that handles each particular service - the first one is a numeric IP address, which identifies where the website for the domain is loaded from, while the second one is an alphanumeric string, which shows the server that deals with the emails for the domain address. As an example, an A record is 123.123.123.123 and an MX record would be mx1.domain.com. Whenever you open a website or send an e-mail, the global DNS servers are contacted to check the name servers that a domain address has and the traffic/message is first directed to that company. In case you have custom records on their end, the Internet browser request or the e-mail will be directed to the correct server. The concept behind employing separate records is that the two services use different web protocols and you could have your website hosted by one service provider and the emails by another.
If you have a website hosting plan through our company, you will be able to view, create and change any A or MX record for your Internet addresses. As long as a specific Internet domain has our Name Servers, you will be able to change particular records by using our Hepsia hosting CP and have your site or e-mails pointed to another provider if you would like to use only one of our services. Our sophisticated tool will permit you to have a domain hosted here and a subdomain below it to be hosted elsewhere by changing only its A record - this will not affect the main domain the slightest bit. If you want to use the email services of another provider and they want you to set up more than 2 MX records, you can easily do this with just a couple of clicks through the DNS Records section of your Control Panel. You can even set different latency for each MX record i.e. which one is going to have priority.


Just found my old blog.
Comments Off on Just found my old blog.
My first blog, for the longest time, I could not find. But, despite naming it a very obscure reference to Radiohead's liner notes from the song "Paranoid Android" on OK Computer, I tracked it down! AND I even remembered the password.
Unfortunately, the riddle of "7yuczhd2" has yet to be solved, and my blog is the top google search result.
edit: re-opened my old blog (formerly called: "Your Blood (Honey)") and privated a lot of it—meanwhile imported both of my old blogs on livejournal "alloftheoptions" and the aforementioned. Hooray for combining the archives of my history.

Dr. Lily D. McNair will become Tuskegee University's eighth president after being unanimously selected by its Board of Trustees. She will serve as the first female president of the institution in its 136-year history.
McNair currently is provost and senior vice president for academic affairs at Wagner College in New York City. She will begin her duties at Tuskegee on July 1, 2018.
Since 2011, McNair has served as the second-ranking executive of Wagner College — a private college of 2,200 students located on New York City's Staten Island. A clinical psychologist by training, Dr. McNair's higher education career includes other academic, research and executive appointments at Spelman College, University of Georgia, the State University of New York at New Paltz, and Vassar College.
A native of New Jersey, Dr. McNair holds an undergraduate degree in psychology from Princeton University, and master's and doctoral degrees in psychology from the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
Burt Rowe, a 1970 Tuskegee graduate, president of the Tuskegee National Alumni Association Inc., and search committee member, attested to McNair's collaborative approach to engaging alumni, donors and other university stakeholders.
Graduating senior Austin Turk, who represented students on the search committee and has worked closely with university administrators as Tuskegee's current Student Government Association president, was equally encouraged by McNair's credentials.
McNair views both Tuskegee's reputation and legacy as its foundation for continued success under her leadership.
McNair's appointment follows a six-month national presidential search that began on Oct. 18, 2017. During that time, and in partnership with the search firm Isaacson, Miller, the Presidential Search Committee conducted listening sessions with senior administrators, faculty, staff, students and alumni; administered a stakeholder survey to garner additional opinions about the requirements, qualifications and opportunities for the university's eighth president; and evaluated more than a 150 prospective candidates, narrowing the field to a small group who were interviewed in person.
Since Tuskegee University's founding in 1881, it has been under the leadership of seven presidents — the first of which was Booker T. Washington, who led the institution from 1881 to 1915. McNair will succeed Interim President Charlotte P. Morris, whose 35-year tenure with the university has included two terms as interim president — the most recent of which began on July 1, 2017.
Morris, who accepted the appointment as interim president on a temporary basis, will remain in service to the university during the fall semester as a member of the Brimmer College of Business and Information Science's teaching faculty. She also will assist with the transition of leadership in the Office of the President.
The university's presidential search webpage provides additional information about McNair, as well as details the presidential search process.


Gov. Parris Glendening of Maryland announced a moratorium today on all executions for the remainder of his term.
Citing "reasonable questions" about the fairness of Maryland's death penalty, Gov. Parris N. Glendening ordered a moratorium on executions yesterday until a special study is completed into whether minority felons are unjustly singled out for capital punishment.
"It is imperative that I, as well as our citizens, have complete confidence that the legal process involved in capital cases is fair and impartial," said Mr. Glendening, a Democrat who is in his second term and backs capital punishment.
In his decision, Mr. Glendening acceded to a request last week for a moratorium by Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend. Mrs. Townsend, a Democrat who is running to succeed Mr. Glendening, noted that the study on the death penalty was due to be completed in September and reviewed next year by the Legislature.
It would be "tough to have a report come out and say this wasn't fair, knowing that while the report was going on that people were executed," Mrs. Townsend said.
Mr. Glendening agreed that it would be "logically inconsistent" for the state to execute people while it studied the fairness of the process.
In announcing the moratorium, the governor issued a stay of execution to Wesley E. Baker, who had been scheduled for lethal injection next week after being convicted of murdering a woman in 1991 in a purse-snatching as she escorted her grandchildren to a shopping center.
Mr. Baker is one of nine blacks among the 13 men on Maryland's death row in cases in which all but one of the victims were white.
Critics of the death penalty in Maryland have long contended that race is a dominant factor in an unjust application of the law in capital cases that involve white victims and black criminals.
"We applaud the governor's decision," said Jane Henderson, co-director of the Quixote Center, a national organization based in Maryland that has been seeking state moratoriums on the death penalty.
"This is a good political move," said Ms. Henderson, speculating that Mrs. Townsend sensed as a candidate that the state Democratic Party's core constituency of urban and black voters had become increasingly sensitive to reports and doubts about the fairness of the death penalty in the 38 states that allow capital punishment.
Maryland is the second state to announce a moratorium on executions. Gov. George Ryan of Illinois suspended executions two years ago, citing investigative reports of multiple injustices. A study last month recommended more than 80 changes in Illinois procedures to guard against abuses.
The two-year Maryland study by specialists at the University of Maryland is focusing on several factors in researching whether racial bias affects the application of the death penalty.
Critics like the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty emphasize that although 28 percent of the Maryland population is African-American, blacks represent 70 percent of the death-row population and 80 percent of the murder victims. Yet in cases where prosecutors seek the death penalty, more than 90 percent of the victims have been white.
"Maryland has a higher concentration of African-Americans on death row than any other state in the country," Steven W. Hawkins, executive director of the coalition, said. "A system where race and geography play a vital role in who lives and who dies is a system that is irreparably broken."
In his announcement, Mr. Glendening said the state needed "absolute confidence in the integrity of the process."
"My heart goes out to the families of the victims of these horrible crimes," he said. "But I must honor the responsibility I have to be absolutely certain of both the guilt of the criminal and the fairness and impartiality of the process."
Nationally, nearly 7 out of 10 death penalty verdicts have been reversed in recent appellate reviews, and more than 100 innocent people have been exonerated, according to the Justice Project, a group that lobbies against wrongful executions.
Since capital punishment was re-established in 1976, Maryland has executed three men, two of them black, in the murders of three people, all white.
"I continue to believe that there are certain crimes that are so brutal and so vile that they call for society to impose the ultimate punishment," Mr. Glendening said in his announcement of the moratorium.

The Spanish version of this paper is available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2134182
Note: This paper is an interview of Michael Jensen by Karen Christensen on the topic of integrity.
This version of the document has been updated to incorporate new material.
There is confusion between integrity, morality and ethics. In our much longer (and as yet incomplete) paper on the topic (see "Integrity: A Positive Model that Incorporates the Normative Phenomena of Morality, Ethics and Legality" (available at http://ssrn.com/abstract=920625)) my co-authors, Werner Erhard and Steve Zaffron and I, distinguish integrity, from morality and ethics in the following way. Integrity in our model is honoring your word, as we define honoring your word. As such integrity is a purely positive phenomenon. It has nothing to do with good vs. bad, right vs. wrong behavior. Like the law of gravity the law of integrity just is, and if you attempt to violate the law of integrity as we define it you get hurt just as if you try to violate the law of gravity with no safety device. The personal and organizational benefits of honoring one's word are huge -- both for individuals and for organizations -- and generally unappreciated.

Council Tax dwellings
Council Tax dwellings: April 2020 to March 2021
Information on number of dwellings liable for council tax, banding, discounts and exemptions for April 2020 to March 2021.
This is not the latest release in the series: Council Tax dwellings
Background and All releases
Period covered:
April 2020 to March 2021
The total number of dwellings liable for council tax in Wales for 2020-21 is expected to rise by 8,011 or 0.6% over the previous year to 1,388,582. For calculating Revenue Support Grant, this total is equivalent to 1,252,626 band D dwellings. Vale of Glamorgan shows the highest increase of band D equivalent dwellings at 2.3%.
Rhondda Cynon Taf has the highest number of band A dwellings (44,471). Blaenau Gwent has the highest proportion of dwellings in band A (58%), Monmouthshire has the lowest (1%).
Over a third of dwellings in Wales receive a 25% discount, generally due to being occupied by only one person liable for council tax.
There are 60,650 dwellings in Wales that are exempt from council tax. This represents 4.2% of all dwellings. The largest exempt category is empty and unfurnished at 17,438, followed by student dwellings at 16,802, with 6,377 dwellings being exempt as a result of being vacant on death.
11 local authorities are charging a long term empty home premium and 8 are charging a second home premium. Most authorities no longer give any discounts to long term empty or second homes.
