Harriette Kershaw Leiding’s book, "Historic Houses of South Carolina," notes the Edisto land was granted to Hamilton in the 1670s, and "it is thought that the house was erected some time between the years 1670 and 1680." She got that date from a historical record mentioning the marks on Hamilton’s Edisto cattle in 1694.

But their mis-reporting of the original foul only served to cloud the understanding of the play and illustrated a stereotypical pre-judgment against Kite as a nothing but a banger or hatchet man.

In the past three years, she has only relied on her pills intermittently. “I’m someone who is used to feeling emotions, and these medicines just left me numb. My apathetic self was just not me,” she said.

Just a quick thought on the HVAC system: although the heated steering wheel and heated seats fire up quickly, the actual heater takes a while to get going (no internal-combustion engine, less ambient heat). Obviously, we didn’t try the AC, as it was winter in our region. But these systems are notorious battery drainers in EVs.

He talks with measured pride about the restaurants he personally owns – the Copeland’s of New Orleans location in Kenner and three Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen locations on the West Bank. He speaks in precise tones about his duties as CEO and chairman of Al Copeland Investments, parent company for his family’s businesses.

At last, all parts of the project were com­plete. It was all done only a week before my vacation arrived. That was cutting it close. I disassembled the turbine and carefully packed the parts and the tools I’d need to assemble it for their trip across the country. Then I once again I drove out to my remote property in Arizona for a week of off-grid relaxation, but this time with hopes of having some actual electricity on the site. The first order of business was setting up and bracing the tower. After arriving at my property and unloading my van, I drove to the nearest Home Depot (about 60 miles one way) and bought the 10′ piece of 1-1/4" conduit I needed for the tower. Once I had it, assembly went quickly. I used nylon rope to anchor the pole to four big wooden stakes driven in the ground. Turnbuckles on the lower ends of each guy-line allowed me to plumb up the tower. By releasing the line from either stake in line with the hinge at the base, I could raise and lower the tower easily. Eventually the nylon line and wooden stakes will be replaced with steel stakes and steel cables. For testing though, this arrangement worked fine. The second photo shows a close-up of how the guy-lines attach near the top of the tower. I used chain-link fence brack­ets as tie points for my guy-lines. The fence brackets don’t quite clamp down tightly on the conduit, which is smaller in diameter than the fence posts they are normally used with. So there is a steel hose clamp at either end of the stack of brackets to keep them in place. The third photo shows the base of the tow­er, staked to the ground, with the wire from the wind turbine exiting from the tee below the conduit tower. I used an old orange extension cord with a broken plug to connect between the turbine and the controller. I simply cut both ends off and put on spade lugs. Threading the wire through the tower turned out to be easy. It was a cold morning and the cord was very stiff. I was able to just push it through the length of the conduit tower. On a warmer day I probably would have had to use a fish tape or string line to pull the cord through the conduit. I got lucky.

William Fears was born in 1987 and spent his childhood in Jasper, Tex., a tiny and deeply segregated town about 130 miles northeast of Houston. East Texas is Klan country, and Jasper holds a notable spot in the racist history of the region as the town where, in 1998, when Fears was 10, three white men lynched a black man named James Byrd Jr., chaining him to the back of a truck and dragging him to death.

Speed-related mods have now taken a back seat to other mod types. Most of the car modifying community opts for cosmetic changes with maybe some minor engine mods thrown into the mix. There are now hundreds of different genres of modifying and the arena continues to grow.

At the end of June, the Department of Homeland Security withheld grant money from several previously approved applicants whose focus was on studying extremists’ online networks and helping both white supremacists and Muslim extremists leave their movements. Though the total budget for C.V.E. was minuscule given the department’s overall grant budget, rejecting those programs nonetheless produced “a real chilling effect,” as one policy analyst recalls. Some researchers withdrew from plans to brief lawmakers on far-right extremism.
