The Hazel Video Field Guide is a two-and-a-half hour video screencast that teaches you everything you need to know about Hazel, one of the best tools available to automate using your Mac. You can start the screencast without knowing a thing about it and by the end of the screenccast you'll be using Hazel to automate everything from filing your bills to having your Mac play some of your favorite music as you arrive home. There is a lot you can do with Hazel and this screencast explains it all including:

Hazel will manage your documents for you. Not only can Hazel help you name and file documents, it can also reach inside documents and look at their contents and then use that data in naming the file and putting it in the right place. Hazel is a document management beast and both more efficient and reliable than having a human manage electronic documents. Hazel is also an excellent copilot as you start tagging files. Some of the workflows in this Video Field guide explain how to automatically apply tags to categories of documents so you have the benefit of tagging without the work of creating them.

Hazel can do a remarkable job of cleaning up after you on your Mac. Hazel can keep an eye on any folder on your Mac, including your downloads folder and your desktop, and keep things nice and tidy. Set your rules once and never have a messy computer again.

Sorting and filing your media is a pain in the neck. Hazel can take this burden on for you. Using Hazel, you can have your images automatically filed in the Photos application or you can have Hazel automatically sort and organize folders full of images by their date. You can even use a Hazel to automatically rename your images while you're organizing them. Hazel can also manager music for you. Hazel has the ability to automatically import new music into iTunes so you don't have to.

Not many people realize what a powerful tool Hazel can be for automation. Hazel is always watching. It will jump into action with something as simple as a new text file being added to your hard drive. Moreover, once Hazel kicks in, it can do just about anything on your Mac. One section of this Video Field Guide demonstrates how you can use AppleScript and services like IFTTT to easily create automation scripts for your Mac. One of the sample Hazel workflows will automatically lock your Mac when you leave your house. Another will play your favorite music when you arrive home. Once you understand how these work, and I demonstrate every step, you can alter the scripts to make your Mac do just about anything you want at anytime you want.

MacKay in 1915

Westport, Connecticut, US

Hazel MacKaye (born New York City, New York, August 24, 1880; died Westport, Connecticut, August 11, 1944) was an American theater professional and suffragist. She is best known for helping present a series of pageants in support of women's suffrage.

Family and early life[edit]

MacKaye was born into a prominent theatrical family. Her father Steele MacKaye (1842-1894) was a famous actor, playwright, and producer; Hazel was named after his hit play Hazel Kirke.[1] Hazel's mother Mary Medbery MacKaye (1845-1924) wrote a popular adaption of Pride and Prejudice for the stage in 1906. Hazel's siblings included engineer and writer James MacKaye (1872-1935), dramatist and poet Percy MacKaye (1875-1956), and conservationist Benton MacKaye (1879-1975). The family settled in Shirley, Massachusetts in 1888. Yanmar 3 cylinder diesel engine.

MacKaye first intended to be a concert pianist, but in 1907 she enrolled in Radcliffe College theater classes taught by George Pierce Baker.[2] She failed to graduate but was made an honorary member of the 1910 class. After leaving Radcliffe MacKaye worked as an assistant on various pageant productions, including several with her older brother Percy. She was a charter member of the American Pageant Association in 1913 and wrote a 'Who's Who' of the members.

MacKaye also acted, touring with the Castle Square theater company of Winthrop Ames and appearing in her brother's Sappho and Phaon and Jeanne D'Arc (both 1907) and Mater (1908). She worked as an instructor at the Children's Educational Theatre in New York City.

Career[edit]

MacKaye was active in the woman suffrage movement, being present at the first meeting of Alice Paul's Congressional Committee of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, forerunner of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage and the National Woman's Party. The organizers of the Woman Suffrage Procession, planned for Washington, D.C. on March 3, 1913, just prior to Woodrow Wilson's inauguration, asked MacKaye to create a pageant for the event. Titled Allegory and produced by director Glenna Smith Tinnin, it was presented on the steps of the U.S. Treasury Building as the culmination of the event. The pageant was praised as 'one of the most impressively beautiful spectacles ever staged in this country' in the New York Times.[3]

Her 1914 production 'The American Woman: Six Periods of American Life', presented by the New York City Men's League for Women's Suffrage, 'used historical scenes to expose the specific economic, political, and social oppressions of American women'.[4] It was not a popular success. Her 1915 production Susan B. Anthony, presented at Convention Hall in Washington, D.C., was more successful, raising money for Paul's Congressional Union and celebrating the life of the great early leader of women's suffrage. These productions were huge enterprises, involving hundreds of participants.

In 1916 MacKaye staged a 'Jubilee Pageant' for the National Young Women's Christian Association. By 1919 MacKaye was serving as Director of Pageantry and Drama for the organization.[5] While with the YWCA MacKaye wrote a number of pageants for their use.

In 1921 MacKaye and Marie Moore Forrest were in charge of the ceremony for the presentation of Adelaide Johnson's 'Portrait Monument to Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony' to the U.S. Capitol.[6]

MacKaye produced another pageant in 1923 celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Seneca Falls Convention, in the Garden of the Gods park in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The pageant was intended to promote the National Woman's Party's effort to pass the Equal Rights Amendment.[7]

Hazel For The Mackinac Bridge

MacKaye wrote 'The Enchanted Urn', a fantasy pantomime, in 1924. Her pageant 'The Quest of Youth' was published by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education in 1924.[8]

From 1923 to 1926 MacKaye taught drama at Brookwood Labor College in Katonah, New York. In 1926 she left to work with the United Mine Workers in Illinois, where her class in labor drama spawned a traveling ensemble. [9]

Death[edit]

By the mid-1920s MacKaye was in declining health and was living with her brother Benton in Shirley. In 1928 she suffered a nervous breakdown and entered Gould Farm, a rest home in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. In 1937 her condition worsened and she was moved to a facility in Greens Farms, Connecticut.[10] She suffered from episodes of severe depression for much of the rest of her life.[11] She died in 1944 and was buried in the Center Cemetery in Shirley; her brother Benton was buried nearby decades later.[12]
