![]() The board chairman of the O'Connor Institute, Matt Feeney said "Her storied life is symbolized by this iconic structure that embodies her character and quest for civil discourse." I think that was a very clear sell to the National Register folks." The institute uses the building for "workshops, meetings and special events." Īrizona State Preservation officer Kathryn Leonard said "In the case of Justice O'Connor, she is iconic and quite obviously a living legend. Supporters countered that the move and renovation was done with the "input" of O'Connor and allowed the building to be used for "civic education". The National Park Service normally does not consider properties that have been moved, nor those associated with a living person. Much of the delay was due to the fact that the home had been moved from its original location. The Sandra Day O'Connor Institute and the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office had been working to have the home listed for about ten years. and getting to know each other as individuals, she believed there was almost no problem that couldn't be solved over one civil dinner." Nomination When people were breaking bread with each other. According to Leonard, "This is where she had these very productive policy conversations. The O'Connor's served guests on the large patio. O'Connor loved to cook and liked preparing Mexican food including chalupas. "Anyone who was anyone in Arizona politics in the 1960s, 1970s was in that house having dinner with Justice O'Connor," according to Arizona State Preservation officer Kathryn Leonard. Senator and Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater and former Democratic governor Bruce Babbitt. O'Connor frequently entertained political figures at the house, including U.S. O'Connor made her residence in the house from 1958 to 1981, when she was appointed to the Supreme Court by President Ronald Reagan. The site was designed by landscape architect Christy Ten Eyck. The new location is within the Carl Hayden Campus for Sustainability at the park, is adjacent to the Arizona Historical Society Museum, and overlooks the city of Tempe and the Salt River. The house was rebuilt in its original geographic orientation. In May 2008, land in Tempe's Papago Park was allocated by unanimous vote of the Tempe City Council. Other parts were moved in large assemblies. Each adobe brick was removed, individually numbered, and stacked for transport to the new location. ![]() A preservation effort ensued which raised $2 million in private funding and the house was disassembled beginning in 2007. Ī post-O'Connor owner of the property planned to demolish the home in order to build a larger residence on the lot. It was O'Connor's desire that the design of the house evoke memories of her childhood home, an adobe ranch house in Duncan, Arizona. The house also features exposed adobe brick on the interior, red concrete floors and exposed wood structural beams. In addition to Wright influences such as the large floor-to-ceiling windows that connect the inside to the outside environment, large overhangs to block the desert sun, and a modern "minimal palette of materials", the long narrow shape reflects the California ranch popularized by Cliff May. The original location was on Denton Lane in the town of Paradise Valley, a suburb of Phoenix. O'Connor and her husband placed some of the brick during the construction, and applied skim milk as a preservative. The design is mid-century modern with significant influences of Frank Lloyd Wright. ![]() It is one-story with three bedrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows and is approximately 1,700 sq ft (160 m 2). The home was built in 1957 of adobe brick made from mud collected at the nearby Salt River.

![]() When you get used to what your dog's "normal" play vocalizations sound like, it's easier to notice when it changes so you have a better idea of when to step in and press pause on play. While loud play vocalizations are normal, listen for any change in the pitch, tone, or volume of the vocalizations. Some signs that a dog is too tense include quick body movements, closed mouth, tall and high body posture, high and tight tail wag, and standing still over another dog. While their intentions might be rooted in play behavior, these dogs tend to overwhelm and annoy the other dog, setting them up for a confrontation. ![]() If you notice a dog who is very tense and overly focused on one dog, they might be too over-stimulated to play politely. If you notice a sudden change in your dog's willingness to play and they are more reactive than usual around other dogs, it might be an indication of pain or an underlying injury. Bring them to your veterinarian for an evaluation to make sure that the reason they no longer want to engage in play isn't a medical issue. ![]() You might notice a dog like this will act more defensively and lash out preemptively by baring their teeth or air snapping when another dog approaches. A tucked tail paired with ears flat against the head is a sign a dog isn't enjoying themselves. You might notice that they keep trying to get away from the other dog - that's your cue to step in and allow them time to relax or remove them from the play area. If one dog seems especially submissive or worried, they aren’t having fun and should be given some space. If they walk away and don't want to engage in more play, then it's time for a longer break between the two or they need a better match for their play style.ĭon't feel bad about pressing pause on play - it's better to be safe than sorry! Scared and Submissive Body Language They might take a moment to catch their breath, shake off and reset before coming back for more, which means the play was on the edge of becoming overwhelming. If the dog that was on the bottom of the wrestling match comes back for more play, then you know they were still comfortable and the play was appropriate. Follow your gut instinct! If it's getting too loud or the wrestling seems too rough, call the dogs away from each other or create a break by taking hold of the dog on top and guiding them away. There is nothing wrong with interrupting dog play if you feel it's getting too crazy. Warning Signs - When to Pause Dog Play If You Feel Uncomfortable, Press Pause There’s a way to write your character bio’s, and then import an image of that person. For visual thinkers, people who need to really see their environments and their cast, LSB actually does this better than Scrivener. By taking an established term and sticking it in another manner to the program increases frustration levels. Association already has a default meaning in computers – it means “the software that opens this kind of file.” Like we know that a PDF’s association is Adobe Acrobat, or any other PDF reader. ![]() Why do I have to make a container to put the chapters in? Just give me a default screen or workspace, and a way to create chapters and scenes quickly!Ĭalling something an association is a wrong title for something. Give me easy ways to create a scene and a chapter. Call a container a workspace, tile or a screen – those are industry standard kinds of names. ![]() This one more than anything was why I really couldn’t give LSB a fair shake. If you feel like Scrivener doesn’t give you enough complexity (and Scrivener’s got a lot of functions that you can poke with), LSB might well be for you! I did spend some serious time going through the tutorials on how to learn LSB, but even with those, I felt like the program was overly complex. Like Scrivener, there’s a couple of different ways to do everything. Then you’d need to really understand associations and containers. If you decided to play with LSB and bought it, you’d have to really dedicate a serious month to learning how to change the look of it (I feel like I’m in some kind of creepy horror movie, with dark grays and lighter grays, and stark white), and then learn how to use it. But LSB has containers, and associations, and… It’s a little harder to get into it and just write. Writeway adds to the complexity by its add on styles (I never really messed with them). With Scrivener and Writeway, you just create a project from a template, open a scene and start typing. LSB has a dizzying array of functions and features, but no really easy way to just plug in and start typing. They would tell me I didn’t really conquer the learning curve, and they’re right. They are far outnumbered by Scrivener addicts, but still, there are die hards. There are die-hard Story Binder users out there who love this program. I’ve tried it several times, and it fell flat for me for a number of reasons. There’s a lot out there, and some of it is interesting. ![]() Recently, I did one of my periodic searches around the internet for other writing software. |
