It seemed, when the line-ups were announced, that Wenger's intention was to go for a win against Chelsea whereas Mourinho was probably happy to settle for a draw. Without the likes of Mata or Oscar in their starting eleven, there was very limited creativity in the Chelsea side and their manager acknowledged that he was 'not unhappy' with a point.
Maybe a moral victory for Arsenal? Maybe not.
The patterns of the game were reminiscent of many of Arsenal's battles against sides like Chelsea and United, most of which ended with a lot of possession for the Gunners but few chances of note. Usually, such games ended in draws or defeat – if there were errors at the back and the opponents were clinical enough.
This game wasn't very different. Arsenal controlled the ball but Chelsea had the better chances. Admittedly, there was a big penalty decision that could have changed the game but you do want to see the home side create more, particularly if it has pretences of being the best team in the League and boasts of a positive, attacking mentality.
Apart from a couple of chances that fell to Giroud, who isn't exactly the best finisher in the League anyway, the Gunners had very little to show for their possession which seemed passive. Part of the problem was that the team was too slow and cautious with their passing and movement, and, at times, tentative and unsure with their touch or weight of the pass. The conditions didn't help but more than that this was again a matter of a lack of tactical balance between attack and defence.
Wenger didn't make any substitutions and talked about the need for balance after the game. His team was barely hanging on as it is. Introducing more offensive players might have increased the probability of conceding a goal rather than scoring one. People forget very quickly that we have seen Arsenal struggle to score against big teams with such tactics for years now irrespective of the starting line-up and substitutions. Lazy opinions based on the, "change something, do something different" mindset don't hold much value when seen in the right context based on historical data. In that sense I thought Wenger was right in keeping the players he had on the pitch. If you can't win, don't lose.
Ramsey and Rosicky were needed on the pitch because they cover a fair amount of ground and chase back relatively better. Taking off the likes of Özil or Walcott is not a clever idea because these are the type of players who can produce something out of nothing and you have to give them that opportunity. Arteta was obviously important to the defence. Furthermore, the options on the bench weren't great either. Bendtner for Giroud would have been a change based solely on hope with limited or no rational reason behind it. Podolski hasn't played for a long time and introducing him would also have been a matter of hope rather than reason. Cazorla might have produced something but he hasn't had many decisive moments this season. Think carefully and you'll see that the calls for substitutions were little more than, "this isn't working so do something different" rants.
That's not to say substitutions would not have worked for sure. We will never know. The point is that there is no solid argument to say they would have worked so the manager's decision is understandable and he has bigger fish to fry.
The real problem that Wenger needs to worry about, and one that has been around for a while, is the issue of balance. Why isn't his team able to get past such a defence? And it wasn't a great defensive side, certainly not when compared to some of the defences Arsenal have faced in the last few seasons. Focussing on the incorrect penalty decision alone is a case of denial in my opinion because it completely ignores the obviously limited nature of Arsenal's attack, something Wenger himself acknowledged after the game.
The Gunners are not very good at wing play and that contributes to this issue as teams can sit deep and narrow. Chelsea's back four was quite compact and they had three midfielders sitting in front who protected the central areas effectively. The openings existed on the flanks but Arsenal were too inefficient in utilizing those.
Numerous counter-attacks from Chelsea and some excellent chances created by the visitors also exposed Arsenal's problems in defending against a quality opponent. This consistently limited the attacking potential of the hosts because the players were always wary of the visitors' threat. When a team that is apparently playing to avoid defeat creates more than the team that goes into the game wanting to win, serious introspection is needed.
It was Déjà Vu in many ways but, at least, it was a point gained in a game that was lost last season and with a referee who seems to inspire results against the Gunners. Many are only talking about the title race but I also have an eye on the race for the top four spots that can get very tight. In that regard this is a good enough result in the short term but this spell of weak performances doesn't exactly inspire confidence for the long haul.
Visiting Allardyce and Co….
West Ham are one spot and one point above the relegation zone at the moment but visiting a physical side is never an easy game for the Gunners. The problem with consistent struggles in the big games is that it turns such tricky away games into high-pressure, must-win encounters because there is practically no margin for error left. We see the impact of this in the players' performance in the form of the handbrake, or technical errors, or lapses in concentration, or something else.
This game is quite predictable in terms of tactics. The hosts will sit back and remain compact in the central zones. They will try to frustrate the Gunners with their positioning, discipline, and work rate, and will rely on their physicality to disrupt Arsenal's rhythm. Balls will be hit long at every opportunity as they look to gain territory in the hope of contesting duels in the visitors' penalty box. 'Get there often enough and something might give', seems to be Big Sam's mantra.
The crowd will get behind the players who will also gain confidence if Wenger's side are rattled or show signs of weakness against these predictable but utilitarian tactics.
The Gunners have to find their creative game in this one because the hosts won't mind a nil-nil draw. They've already had four of those this season, which is almost a quarter of their games. And I wouldn't put it past them to score against this Arsenal defence if the team tries to be too attacking. While West Ham have kept a clean sheet in half their home games, they've none against the teams in the top ten. Chelsea, City, and Everton have won at Upton park and all of them have scored three goals. The Gunners will probably need more than one to win. The challenge for Wenger and his players is in finding balance, efficiency, and clinical finishing. But it will start with having the confidence to play their own game at a tempo that unsettles the opposition. The Gunners won't vary their tactics that much so this battle to control the speed of the game and each side's ability to stick to their game plan will shape the patterns of play.
The players should all be in good shape right now after that nine day break before the Chelsea game. However, with an eye on four games in the next ten days, Wenger might want to change a few players. Ideally, this should be a game where he can rest some of his key players.
I'd leave Özil out of the side but the Frenchman probably won't. Bringing Flamini in might be a good idea but it's tough to decide whether Ramsey or Arteta should sit out. Bendtner ahead of Giroud is another option but I have a feeling we will see that at home against Cardiff rather than in this derby. It's a shame that Wilshere is unavailable for this game.
We might see,
Szczesny – Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Monreal – Arteta, Özil, Flamini – Walcott, Giroud, Cazorla.
Podolski is also an interesting option but my guess is that he'll get a couple of substitute appearances before getting a start.
The Gunners should create a few promising moments in this game and they can get the three points if some of those are converted into goals. They will also need moments of dogged defending at the back because the hosts will undoubtedly find their way to the Arsenal penalty box. In theory this should be a straightforward win for Arsenal and they most definitely need the points. Question is, can they dominate the decisive moments of the game?

Duels - Some Western North Carolina History
From the beginning of the nineteenth century the practice of dueling had been common throughout America, the North, even, not being exempt, as witness the fatal encounter between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. North Carolina had, in 1802, (Rev. Stat., Ch. 34, sec. 3) made it a crime to send a challenge or fight a duel or to aid or abet in doing either; but, according to the strict letter of the law, it would be no crime to send a challenge from without the State or to fight a duel on the soil of another State, and in all the duels fought in this section great care was taken to go across the State line into either South Carolina or Tennessee. No effort, apparently, was ever made to punish those who as principals, seconds or surgeons had participated in such encounters, it having been considered that the law of North Carolina had not been violated unless the duel had actually been fought on its soil. No duel was fought within the State; but in the Erwin-Baxter and the Hilliard-Hyman duels, the challenges had most probably been sent and accepted in Buncombe county. However, as such matters were of a secret and confidential nature, it is likely that no evidence of such challenges was ever presented to a grand jury of that county, as, if it had been, true bills would doubtless have been returned against those charged with having sent or accepted the challenges. For dueling was never approved by the common people of this section, and its practice was confined strictly to a small class of professional men and politicians. The quarrels of farmers, merchants and others were settled in the good old fist and skull, or rough and tumble, style, in which knives and pistols were never used. Section two of Article XIV of the Constitution of North Carolina of 1868 gave dueling its death blow forever; for, while there is nothing more sacred than a politician's honor, prior to 1868 nothing had been found that could prevent him from fighting duels for its preservation; whereas, the moment he discovered that unless he found some other means of protecting it he would have to forego the honor of holding office in North Carolina, he immediately and forthwith discovered a way!
At some time prior to the admission of Tennessee into the Union Andrew Jackson and Waightstill Avery, lawyers, fought a duel on "the hill on the south side of Jonesboro, Tenn. It seems to have been arranged that neither party desired to injure the other, and both fired into the air, pistols being the weapons used. John Adair was Avery's second, Jackson's being unknown.
"There are two versions as to the cause of the duel, the first being that Jackson had ridiculed Avery's pet authority-Bacon's Abridgment-and Avery, in his retort, had grown, as he afterward admitted, too sarcastic, intimating that Jackson had much to learn before he would be competent to criticise any law book whatever. Jackson sprang to his feet and cried: 'I may not know as much law as there is in Bacon's Abridgment, but I know enough not to take illegal fees.' Avery at once demanded whether he meant to charge him with taking illegal fees, and Jackson answered 'I do sir,' meaning to add that he had done so because of his ignorance of the latest law fixing a schedule of fees. But Avery had not waited for him to finish his sentence and hissed in Jackson's teeth 'It's as false as hell.' Then Jackson had challenged Avery and Avery had accepted the challenge. When they had arrived on the ground and exchanged shots, they shook hands; after which Jackson took from under his arm a package which he presented to Avery, saying that he knew that if he had hit Avery and had not killed him the greatest comfort he could have would be Bacon's Abridgment.' When the parcel was opened it contained, cut to the exact size of a law book, a piece of well cured bacon.
"The other version is that Avery promised to produce Bacon's Abridgrnent in court the following morning and that Jackson had gone to Avery's room and removing the book had substituted a piece of bacon in its stead in Avery's green bag. When Avery opened this bag in court the next day and the bacon fell out, he was so incensed that he challenged Jackson at once. The challenge had been accepted and shots exchanged, whereupon each had expressed himself as satisfied and the matter ended."[1]
COL. F. A. OLDS' ACCOUNT. In Harper's Weekly for December 31, 1904, is an account of this duel which had and still has the approval of Hon. Alfonzo C. Avery, oldest descendant then living of Hon. Waightstill Avery. It contains the challenge, which follows:
August 12, 1788.THE FACTS OF THE CASE. These were told to Judge A. C. Avery by his father Col. Isaac T. Avery, who was the only son of Waightstill Avery. "When the latter practiced law in Mecklenburg, N. C., he and young Jackson were well acquainted. Avery was elected in 1777 the first attorney general of North Carolina. He afterwards married a lady who lived near Newberne, in Jones county, and soon after this marriage resigned and settled in Jones, becoming colonel of that county's yegiment of militia. His command was not in active service during the Revolution, except in some occasional troubles with the Tories, until it was called out when Lord Cornwallis invaded North Carolina. . . . He secured the passage of a bill creating the county of Washington, which embraced the whole State of Tennessee, and then became the leading member of the bar at Jonesboro, which was the county seat. At the close of the Revolutionary War Andrew Jackson went to Burke county and applied to Waightstill Avery to take him as a boarder at his country home and instruct him as a law student. Col. Avery told him he had just moved to the place, and had built nothing but cabins, and could not grant his request. Jackson went to Salisbury, studied law there [under Judge Spruce McCay], and settled at Jonesboro, until the new county of Davidson (with Nashville as the county seat) was established. . . . Just before the challenge to fight was sent by Jackson, Avery appeared in some laws at Jonesboro as opposing counsel to Jackson, and ridiculed the position taken by Jackson, who had preceded him in argument. Jackson considered the argument insulting and sent him the challenge. Col. Avery was raised a Puritan. He graduated at Princeton with the highest honors in 1766, and remained there a year as a tutor, under the celebrated Jonathan Edwards and the famous Dr. Witherspoon, who signed the Declaration of Independence as a representative of New Jersey. Avery was a Presbyterian and opposed on principle to dueling, but he so far yielded to the imperious custom of the time as to accept the challenge and go to the field, with Colonel, afterwards Governor, Adair of Kentucky as his second. After the usual preliminaries he allowed Jackson to shoot at him, but did not return the fire. There-upon, having shown that he was not afraid to be shot at, Avery walked up to young Jackson and delivered a lecture to him, very much in the style a father would use in lecturing a son. Avery was very calm, and his talk to the brave young man who had fired at him was full of good sense, dispassionate and high in tone, and was heard with great attention by the seconds of both parties, who agreed that the trouble must go no further, but should end at this point, and so then and there a reconciliation was effected between these two brave spirits. Col. Avery took the challenge home and filed it, as he was accustomed to file all his letters and papers, endorsing it 'Challenge from Andrew Jackson.'"
To the late Silas McDowell of Macon county we are indebted for many facts concerning the duel between Dr. Robert Brank Vance of Buncombe and Hon. Samuel P. Carson of Burke. Mr. McDowell was the friend of both these gentlemen; and, although he waited forty-nine years after the duel had been fought, and himself was in his eighty-first year before committing his recollection of that lamentable event to paper, it must be accepted as the most authentic, because the only, account now available of that affair. Hon. A. C. Avery of Morganton, in in an article published in the North Carohna Review (Raleigh) for March, 1913, has supplemented this statement with many important facts bearing on the principals and seconds concerned; and from these two statements the following facts have been carefully compiled:
SAMUEL P. CARSON. He was the son of Col. John Carson and of his wife, who, before her marriage to him, had been the widow of the late Gen. Joseph McDowell of Pleasant Gardens, N. C. He, like his father, was a Democrat, and was young, handsome, eloquent, magnetic, blessed with a charming voice, delighting in all the pleasures and Opportunities of a healthful, vigorous physique. He was educated at the "Old Field Schools" of the neighborhood till he reached his nineteenth year, when he was taken into the family of his half brother, Joseph M. Carson, where he was taught grammar and directed in a course of reading with an eye to political advancement; and before he was 22 years of age he represented the county of Burke in the legislature, defeating his kinsman James R. McDowell for that place. He was born about the year 1797, and was about four years younger than Dr. Vance. Even when a boy he was a great favorite not only with people of his own walk in life, but was worshipped by the negroes on his father's plantation. His mother was a Methodist and young Samuel was a great favorite at camp meetings where his deep-toned and harmonious voice led in their congregational singing. He was also popular with ladies.
GEN. ALNEY BURGIN. He was Carson's second, and was a social and political leader of Burke county, having several times been elected to the legislature. He preserved the challenge which Mr. Carson sent by him to Dr. Vance. This challenge had been written by Carson at Pleasant Gardens and was dated September 12, 1827, taken to Jonesboro, Tenn., and sent from there in order to avoid a violation of the law of North Carolina regarding dueling; for he states in the challenge: "I will do no act in violation of the laws of my State; but as you have boasted that you had flung the gauntlet before me, which in point of fact is not true; for, in the language of chivalry, to fling the gauntlet is to challenge-to throw down the iron glove;.... but, if you are serious, make good your boast; throw the gauntlet upon neutral ground; then, if not accepted, boast your victory." He notified Dr. Vance that he would pass through Asheville to meet friends in East Tennessee, where he would spend a week at Jonesboro, and expected to receive an answer by way of Old Fort, near which place Gen. Burgin lived. His son, Joseph McD. Burgin, was the father of Mrs. Locke Craig, the wife of the present governor.
HON. WARREN DAVIS. This gentleman was a South Carolinian, a cousin of John C. Calhoun, a member of Congress, a man of decided ability, and "thoroughly conversant with the intricate rules of the Code Duello." He was called in by Mr. Carson as an additional second because Gen. Burgin was not well versed in the punctuho of the duello, and Davis "was expected in the arrangements for the encounter and any correspondence that might ensue, to protect Carson."
ROBERT BRANK VANCE. He was born in Burke county about 1793, and was the son of David Vance, who, after serving as an ensign under Washington, married the daughter of Peter Brank, who lived about a mile from Morganton, and fought as captain of a company in McDowell's regiment at Ramseur's Mill, Cowpens and Kings Mountain, while uncle, Robert Brank, for whom Dr. Vance was named, had the reputation of being one of the most daring soldiers in his company. Young Vance was a fine scholar as a school boy; but, owing to an affliction which had settled in his left leg that member had been shortened about six inches and retarded his physical development that when fully grown he was only five feet and five inches in height. His face, how ever, was handsome, and his "mind was of no common order." His family were Presbyterians and he attended the Newton academy near Asheville, afterwards graduating from an unnamed medical school and commencing the practice of medicine in Asheville in 1818. But, having drawn a five-thousand dollar prize in a lottery, and his father having willed him a large portion of his estate, Dr. Vance purchased a fine library and retired from practice three years after opening his office. He was encouraged by his friends, and especially by young Samuel P. Carson, then in the legislature from Burke, to oppose Felix Walker, whose popularity then "was in the descending node," for Congress, but declined to do so till 1823, when he ran for Congress and was elected by a majority of one vote. It was said that when he appeared in Congress John Randolph of Roanoke, struck by his diminutive size and physical deformity, remarked, "Surely that little man has come to apply for a pension." But Vance soon convinced the strong men of the house "that Aesop's mind could be hid but not long, under an Aesop's form, and at the close of the term he had the respect of every distinguished man in the house." The most important measure before the session was an appropriation of $250,000--" and many townships of land" for Gen. Lafayette; and for this measure Vance voted.
FRIENDS BECOME POLITICAL RIVALS. In 1825 Samuel P. Carson and Dr. Vance were opposing candidates for Congress, and Carson was elected; but in 1827 Dr. Vance invited some of his friends to meet at Asheville, and announced that he would oppose Carson's re-election, and would insist on his defeat because he had voted for an appropriation of $25,000 to the citizens of Alexandria, Virginia, which had been recently destroyed by fire. To this meeting Silas McDowell was invited, but his opposition to Vance's idea that Carson could be defeated because of this vote displeased all of Vance's friends, but not Vance himself., Vance and Carson accordingly were opposing candidates in 1827, and at the first meeting at Asheville Carson spoke first; but, in reviewing his course in Congress, he omitted to refer to his vote for the appropriation for the citizens of Alexandria. When Dr. Vance spoke he called attention to the fact that Carson had not referred to that vote, whereupon Carson answered that the City had been destroyed by fire and its citizens left homeless and destitute; and that Vance himself, if he had been in Carson's place, would have voted likewise, because "I think he has a heart." Vance retorted that if those who had applauded Carson's statement "could admire, as some seem to do, the heart promptings that send a man's benevolent hand into some other man's pocket than his own, all I have to say about it is--I can't." Upon this Carson answered that "until Vance should withdraw the charge that he had put his hand into another's pocket to save his own," they could be friends no longer; and proceeded to charge Vance with inconsistency as he himself had voted when in congress for the larger donation to Lafayette. Thereupon Vance charged Carson with being a demagogue, and when Carson replied that but for~ Vance's diminutive size he would hold him to account for his "vile utterances," Vance ret6rted "You are a coward and fear to do it." This closed the debate.
THE CASUS BELLI. According to Mr. McDowell, Carson's failure to challenge Vance, after having been publicly called a coward, confirmed Vance in his belief that he would not fight; this idea of Carson's cowardice having been suggested in the first instance by Carson's refusal to accept a challenge from Hugh M. Stokes, a lawyer, and a son of Gen. Mumford Stokes of Wilkes, on the alleged ground that young Stokes had forfeited his right to recognition as a gentleman because of his intemperate indulgence in strong drink. A second meeting of Vance's friends was soon held at Asheville, but from it Silas McDowell was excluded. There it was determined that Vance should attack the character of Carson's father "on a floating tradition that, after the defeat of our army at Camden, Carson, with many other hitherto patriotic citizens of North Carolina, had applied to Cornwallis, while near Charlotte, to protect their property. The tradition went so far as to include many of the patriotic men of Mecklenburg county. Up to this day that tradition is an historic doubt." But Judge Avery points out that Col. John Carson had been elected by the people of Burke to attend the convention held at Fayetteville for the Constitution of 1787 of the United States, as a sufficient refutation of the charge as applied to him. But, at the next joint debate, which was at Morganton, Vance used these words: "The Bible tells us that 'because the fathers have eaten sour grapes, their sons' teeth have been set on edge."... My father never ate sour grapes and my competitor's father did. ...In the time of the Revolutionary War my father, Col. Vance, stood up to fight, while my competitor's father, Col. Carson, skulked, and took British protection."
THE INSULT IS RESENTED. All of Samuel P. Carson's brothers were present when this statement was made " and made a move as though they would attack Vance, when prominent citizens interfered and the excitement calmed down." The election resulted in Vance's defeat, three to one, Vance getting only 2,419 votes. Afterwards, "Col. Carson wrote Vance an ill-natured and abusive letter, to which Vance sent the brief reply. . . . 'I can have no altercation with a man of your age; and, if I have aggrieved you, you certainly have some of your chivalrous sons that will protect you from insult.' A few days thereafter Gen. Alney Burgin came to Asheville . . . to enquire which of Colonel Carson's sons Vance alluded to in his lines to his father," and Vance replied "Sam knows well enough I meant him." Then the challenge was delivered and accepted.
THE DUEL. It was agreed that three weeks should elapse before the duel, which was to be fought at Saluda Gap, on the line between North and South Carolina, on the Greenville turnpike. Gen. Franklin Patton was Vance's second and Dr. George Phillips his surgeon, while Dr. Shuflin was Carson's surgeon. "A few special friends attended as spectators, and, though invited by both gentlemen," Mr. McDowell did not go. Davy Crockett, who, according to Dr. Sondley, in "Asheville's Centenary," had married -a Miss Patton, of Swannanoa, is said to have been present as a friend of Carson's. The distance was ten paces and the firing was to be done between the words "Fire, One, Two, Three," with rising or falling pistols. Vance chose the rising and Carson the falling mode; and at the word "Fire," Carson sent a ball entirely through Vance's body, entering one and a half inches above the point of the hip and lodging in the skin on the opposite side. It does not appear that Vance fired at all. Vance died the next day, thirty-two hours after having received his wound, at a hotel on the road, probably Davis's.
CONTRITION. When he saw that Vance had been wounded Carson expressed a wish to speak to him, but was led away; and before his death Vance expressed regret that Carson had not been permitted to speak with him, and stated that he had "not the first unkind feeling for him." Vance also told Gen. Burgin that he had fallen where he had always wished to die" on the field of honor." He was buried at the family grave-yard on Reems creek.
CARSON'S SUBSEQUENT CAREER. Mr. Carson went on to Congress after the duel, was elected a delegate to the State convention of 1835, moved to Texas and became Secretary of State in David G. Burnett's cabinet, never returning to North Carolina. The result of this duel is said to have embittered his life. Mr. McDowell hints at an attachment for, Miss Donaldson, the pretty niece of Andrew Jackson; but Carson died unmarried.
PREMONITION. It is quite evident that Vance expected to be killed; for he made his will (dated November 3, 1827) in which he referred to the approaching duel, and after his death it was admitted to probate, though, when the court house was destroyed in the spring of 1865, the record book contaning it was destroyed. Fortunately, however, a certified copy had been obtained prior to the fire, which copy is still in existence.[2} Judge Avery also states that Dr. Vance stopped at his father's house on his way to the dueling ground "and though almost everyone knew what was about to occur, no allusion was made to it by the family in conversation with their gnest. The impression was made on some of the family that Vance seemed sad. Though recklessly fearless, it was natural that he should seem depressed in view of the prospect that he or Carson, or both, would probably be killed."
VANCE'S MOTIVE. Although Mr. McDowell had been "excluded" from the second conference between Vance and his friends at Asheville, he and Dr. Vance lodged at the same house at Morganton, and he said: "When Vance to our room . . . I remarked to him, 'Doctor, you have this day sounded the death knell over yours or Carson's grave perhaps both.' To this Vance answered: is no fight in Carson. I wish he would fight and kill me. Do you wish to know why? I will tell you: My life has no future prospect. All before me is deep, dark gloom, my way to Congress being closed forever, and to fall back upon my profession or former resources of enjoyment makes me shudder to think of. Understand me, McDowell, I have no wish to kill or injure Carson; but I do wish for him to kill me, as, perhaps, it would save me from self-slaughter."' Would such a statement have been made except to a trusted friend and under the sacred seal of friendship?
COL. JOHN CARSON 'S IMPLACABILITY. Judge Avery tells that, after the Morganton insult, Col. Carson forego his privilege of challenging Vance only upon the promise of his six sons that if "Samuel Carson should first challenge Vance, and, if he sho'uld fall, then the oldest son, Joseph McDowell Carson, should challenge him, and if every one of the six should fall in separate encounters with Vance the old Colonel should be at liberty to wipe, out the insult to the family by meeting Vance on the field of honor." He adds: "Vance was not only mistaken in expecting a back down, but in fact he was provoking a difficulty with six cool and courageous men, everyone of whom was a crack marksman." But that was not all. Judge Avery further states that Warren Davis, Carson's second, refused to "act as his second unless he would promise to do his best or use his utmost skill to hit Vance." Dr. Vance must have known who Davis was and why he had been brought from South Carolina, as well as of the marksmanship of the six Carsons; and that he had deliberately offered a deadly insult to the venerable head of an old and distinguished family because he believed that Samuel P. Carson would not fight is almost incredible. That Dr. Vance should wish to be killed by his boyhood's friend is even more unbelievable. But, whatever his motive, criticism of his conduct was silenced above his open grave; for he went to his death with a courage that was sublime; and for more than three quarters of a century censure has remained dumb, "with a finger on her lips and a meaning in her eyes."
JUDGE AVERY'S ACCOUNT. In his "Historic Homes of North Carolina" (in the N. C. Booklet, Vol. IV, No.3) the late Hon. A. C. Avery recorded the fact that on the night after the debate between Vance and Carson at Morganton, Samuel P. Carson, his six brothers and his father agreed that if the father would not challenge Vance Samuel would do so, and if he fell each son in succession should challenge Vance till he should be killed. In the event that all the seven Carson sons should fall, then, Col. Carson, the father would send a challenge. It is also stated that Carson went to Tennessee to send the challenge in order not to violate the law of this state; and that David Crockett was one of Carson's friends at the duel. Just before taking his position on the field Carson told Warren Davis that he (Carson) could hit Vance where ever he chose, but preferred not to inflict a mortal wound. Thereupon, Davis said: "Vance will try to kill you, and if he receives only a flesh wound, he will demand another shot, which will mean another chance to kill you. I will not act for you unless you promise to do your best to kill him." Carson promised, and Vance fell mortally wounded, Carson lamenting that the demands of an imperious custom had forced him to wreck his own peace of mind in order to save the honor of his family. In 1835 Carson was elected to the Coistitutional Convention of that year. He emigrated to Texas in 1836, was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1836 in that State, and Sam Houston made him secretary of State. Carson was active in securing the annexation of Texas. The Biographical Congressional Directory, 1911, says that Carson "after his retirement from Congress moved to Arkansas; died in Hot Springs, Ark., in November, 1840" (p.532). The same work (p.1076) says that Vance "moved to Nashville, Nash county, where he held several local positions." All of which is wrong. It does not give the date of his birth or of his death.
[3] "Although kind, social and friendly in his private intercourse, Gen. Thomas L. Clingman's character is not of that negative kind so concisely described by Dr. Johnson of one 'who never had generosity enough to acquire a friend, or spirit enough to provoke an enemy.' Whenever the rights of his State and his personal honor were infringed, he was prompt and ready to repel the assailant. He has followed the advice of Polonius to his son:
'Beware of entrance
"In 1845, Hon. William Yancey, of Alabama, well known in his day as 'a rabid fire eater,' 'attempted some liberty with General Clingman. A challenge ensued. Huger, of South Carolina, was Yancey's friend; and Charles Lee Jones, of Washington City, was the friend of Clingman. They fought at Bladenburg [Maryland].
"Mr. Jones, the second of General Clingman, in his graphic description of this duel, published in the Capital, states:
"After the principles had been posted, Mr Huger, who had won the giving of the word, asked, "Are you ready? FIRE !"
"Hon. Kenneth Rayner, the colleague of Mr. Clingman in Congress, who was on the ground, states that 'he had never seen more composure and firmness in danger than was manifested by Mr. Clingman on this occasion.' On seeing his friend covered by the dust and gravel, and standing at his post unmoved he thought he was mortally wounded. He rushed to him and asked him if he was hurt. 'He has thrown some dirt on my new coat,' he replied. . . . On other occasions, as with Hon. Edward Stanley and others, Gen. Clingman has evidenced a proper regard for his own honor by repelling the insults of others."
At some time between 1851 and 1857 the late Major Marcus Erwin and the late Judge John Baxter fought a duel with pistols at Saluda Gap on the Greenville, South Carolina, turnpike. Judge Baxter was shot in the knuckle of the right hand, the ball ranging up and along the right arm to the shoulder. It was not a serious wound, but disabled its recipient for a second shot. It was claimed by Baxter's friends that he was opposed to dueling, and had not fired to hit Erwin. Erwin's friends retorted that if his right arm had not been pointing toward Erwin when Erwin's bullet struck Baxter's knuckle, the ball would not have ranged up it to his shoulder. [4] The late Dr. Edward Jones of Hendersonville was Erwin's second and the late Dr. W. L. Hilhard was Erwin's surgeon. Terrill W. Taylor was Baxter's second and Dr. W. D. Whitted his surgeon. [5]
RESULT OF A POLITICAL QUARREL. It is agreed that the cause of this duel was politics pure and simple; but the special offence alleged has been forgotten. Judge A. C. Avery writes:
My recollection is--in fact, I know--that the duel was fought just south of our State line at Saluda gap. According to my best recollection it occurred in 1852, soon after Gen. Clingman and others had followed Calhoun in opposing the compromise measure of 1851 and had been put beyond the pale of the Whig party, on that account. Marcus Erwin was editing a Democratic paper established shortly before that time in Asheville. My impression is that the name of the paper was the News. I know it was sent to me at the Bingham School. My impression is that Erwin had written some very strong articles or editorials advocating the doctrine of State's Rights. Mr. Baxter, who then lived in Hendersonville, wrote a communication to the Whig paper in which he criticised Mr. Erwin, calling him the 'Fire-eating Editor of the News' (if that was the name of the paper); and in answer to him Mr. Erwin wrote a very caustic criticism of Mr Baxter, in which he said, enclosing the article, in substance, that Mr. Baxter had called him a frie-eater; but that, while he did not devour that element, Mr. Baxter would find him ready and willing to face it. This editorial, as I recollect it, called forth a challenge from Baxter, which was accepted and Mr. Erwin selected Saluda as the place for the duel. Judge Avery thinks Dr. Jones was Erwin's second and Dr. Whitted of Hendersonville was Baxter's surgeon, but could not recall Baxter's second."[6]Major Erwin was, by many, considered the "brainiest" man in the State; while Mr. Baxter afterwards moved to Tennessee where he was made United States circuit judge, and served with distinction till his death.
In the Summer of 1855 John D. Hyman, editor of the Spectator said in his paper the mail service was not as efficiently conducted as when been under the management of the Whigs. Dr. W. L. Hilliard, now deceased, was then the postmaster, and a partner of the late Dr. J. F. E. Hardy.[8] Besides this, both were Democrats. Dr. Hilliard sent Dr. Hardy to Col. Hyman with a polite request for a retraction and apology, which were refused. Thereupon a challenge to mortal combat followed which was promptly accepted, rifles designated as the weapons, and Paint Rock on the Tennessee line agreed on as the place of meeting.
Dr. Hilliard had married the year before Miss Margaret Love, a daughter of Col. J. R. Love, and was living over the drug store of Dr. Thomas C. Lester in a brick building, the on the site now occupied by the Falk Music Store. Between this and what is now Aston street, then a mere lane, Mr. James Patton. In the rear of Dr. Hilliard's apartments were his barn and stable, with a single exit, that on Main street. The postoffice was just above his house on that street. Capt. James P. Sawyer, or Captain Frank M. Miller, was the clerk in charge.
Now, Col. Hyman and his party had left the day before the duel was to be fought; but Drs. Hilliard and Hardy and Col. David Coleman, Dr. Hilliard's second, knew that the authorities had been informed of the contemplated duel and that they would be arrested if they should openly attempt leave town. So they waited till nightfall, when they had the plank from the rear wall of the stable removed and slipped their horses out into the lane that is now Aston street. They were afraid also that if they followed the most direct route to Paint Rock, that down the eastern bank of the French Broad, they might be arrested. Consequently, they crossed the French Broad at Smith's Bridge and went down the left-hand side of the river. But it is forty miles to Paint Rock, and ride as hard as they could through the dark night, dawn was breaking when they reached the bridge at Warm Springs. As the duel was fixed for sunrise the Hyman party began to fear that the doctor had been arrested, but Col. John A. Fagg, who lived at Paint Rock, said that he knew Hilliard and that they need have no apprehensions.
According to the recollection of Francis Marion Wells, now 91 (1912) years old, and living on Grass creek, Madison county, within less than one mile from where the duel was fought, the Hyman party arrived at Paint Rock the day before that on which the duel was to be fought. People living in the neighborhood began to suspect the truth, and the authorities of Cocks county, Tennessee, were notified. So that when the Hilliard party reached the scene early on the morning of the day set for the duel, from forty to fifty men had assembled to see what might occur. Among these were peace officers of North Carolina. The belligerants, realizing that a duel in the circumstances would most likely be interfered with by the authorities of North Carolina or Tennessee, announced publicly that the effort to have the encounter take place had been abandoned and all parties started on their return to Asheville. This seemed to have accomplished its purpose, for no one followed. But when Hot Springs was reached the parties merely crossed to the left or western bank of the French Broad, not for the purpose of ascending the river to Asheville, but of descending it to the Tennessee line by a road leading to the mouth of Wolf creek. As they passed Mr. Wells' house he noted particularly the men who were present: They were John D. Hyman and John Baxter, his second, and Dr. Charles Candler, his surgeon. With Dr. W. L. Hilliard was his second, Marcus Erwin,[9] and Dr. J. F. E. Hardy, his surgeon. Col. John A. Fagg was along to show the way. The duel was fought with rifles at fifty paces just about 100 yards over the North Carolina line. Dr. Candler told Wells that he weighed the powder and lead that went into each rifle. The road on which the duel was fought is partly grown up now coming into the new road in a slightly oblique direction from the gap of the little ridge. The spot is about one and a half miles west of the French Broad river. As the party returned Col. John Baxter shouted to Squire Wells as he passed: "Nobody hurt," which proved to be true. Only one shot was exchanged, a second shot not having been demanded. There is a tradition that but for the fact that Col. Fagg cried "Halt!" as the commands to fire were being given, Hyman would probably have killed Hilliard, as the latter fired first, his striking the ground near Hyman's feet. Also that Hyman's bullet clipped a button from Hilliard's coat.
All unconsciously two men of Cherokee county imitated famous duelists of former years by standing in one State and killing a man in another:
On the 11th day of July, 1892, William Hall and John Dockery were on the "State line between North Carolina and Tennessee. They had a warrant for the arrest of Andrew Bryson whom they soon descried coming up the ridge in front of them. They hid behind a large oak tree until Bryson came within gunshot range, when Hall told him to surrender. Bryson was then just over the line and in Tennessee, whereas Hall and Dockery were in North Carolina. Instead of surrendering, Bryson started to draw his gun, when he was shot and killed. The case was tried and the defendants found guilty at the spring term, 1893, of the Superior court of Cherokee County.[10] A new trial was granted by the Supreme court at the February term of 1894, on the ground that at common law there could be no conviction unless the men who were killed were within the jurisdiction of the court at the time the shot were fired.[11] The defendants were re-tried and acquitted. The legislature at its next session passed a statute making such an act murder.[12]

Nov. 8, 2017
Northwest Missouri State University recently was awarded a $93,336 grant from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, bringing the University another step closer to constructing a new outdoor classroom for its Horace Mann Laboratory School.
With the grant award, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Land and Water Conservation Fund agrees to fund half of the total project costs, and Northwest will fund the remainder of the project, which will total about $187,000.
The outdoor classroom will be located inside a newly fenced area directly north of Everett W. Brown Education Hall, which houses Horace Mann and the Phyllis and Richard Leet Center for Children and Families. Northwest anticipates completing the project in fall 2018.
"The outdoor classroom dovetails with the direction the University is moving toward profession-based learning opportunities," Dr. Tim Wall, the dean of Northwest's School of Education said. "The outdoor classroom is an integral component of how the Horace Mann and University faculty will mentor future teachers and leaders. If we want our teacher candidates to develop and implement truly outstanding lessons that reach young learners, then we need to invest in spaces that reflect first-class learning opportunities."
Plans for the outdoor classroom call for a recreational space unlike any other in Maryville or the northwest Missouri region. With a focus on curriculum-driven outdoor education, health and wellness, and environmental stewardship, the outdoor classroom will be designed as a next-generation space that goes beyond a single sport or activity.
It will include curriculum-driven centers focused on nature art, outdoor music and messy materials; a stage for creative play, arts creation and integration; and a gathering space suited for outdoor class sessions. Other unique features will include a climbing structure, slide, swing and hammock as well as a 1/10th mile walking-running path. Rain barrels, gardening tools and child-sized wheelbarrows included in the project concept will encourage sustainable stewardship of the space. Native grasses will separate learning spaces and tie with the natural beauty of the Northwest campus, which also serves as the Missouri Arboretum.
"Playing and learning outdoors supports not only physical development but intellectual, emotional and behavioral as well," Horace Mann Principal Sandy Seipel said. "We want Horace Mann children and Northwest students to have an outdoor learning space that increases curiosity, exploration and enthusiasm for the outdoors and for teacher candidates to think about ways to bring learning opportunities outside of the classroom. We are excited to have a beautiful outdoor learning space that stays true to Northwest's natural surroundings and to help our children and Northwest students develop a sense of responsibility for nature and the environment."
All of the outdoor classroom's features will adhere to the Americans with Disabilities Act, ensuring all individuals may enjoy the park. The space also will be available for use by community members when it is not in use by Horace Mann students and staff.
Northwest engaged the Nature Explore company to design the outdoor classroom, which replaces equipment the University removed last summer to make room for an expansion of its Frank Grube Tennis Courts as a result of the construction of the Carl and Cheryl Hughes Fieldhouse on the west side of the University campus.
Wall credited Seipel, Leet Center Director Cindy Rouner and Grants Coordinator Tye Parsons for their work to apply for the grant. Representatives of the Horace Mann Parent Advisory Council, the Regional Council of Governments, and the Maryville Parks and Recreation Department as well as state Rep. Allen Andrews also submitted letters in support of the project. Northwest received the grant in 2014 to partially pay for another outdoor classroom that serves the Leet Center.
"This project represents collaboration, ingenuity and vision in challenging economic times," Wall said. "When we realized the existing Horace Mann playground was to be removed due to expansion of the tennis facilities, a team sprang into action to find a way to help provide a playground and learning space for Horace Mann students. This team took input from students, parents and University administrators representing the School of Education, School of Health Science and Wellness, and Facilities Services leaders."
Horace Mann places an emphasis on innovative and interactive teaching practices accompanied with individualized instruction by dedicated and caring faculty as well as staff and administrators.
While the laboratory school benefits from Northwest programs and activities, the school also employs Project Lead the Way, a project and problem-based curriculum that includes science, technology, engineering and math in an engaging, rigorous and relevant format that is innovative and builds critical thinking skills.
As a laboratory school, Horace Mann is a clinical teaching environment for students in Northwest's School of Professional Education. The relationship between master teachers, practicum teachers and graduate assistants allows Horace Mann students to reap the benefits of low student-to-teacher ratio in classrooms that implement innovative teaching practices and provide learning experiences designed to stimulate each child's creative learning abilities and problem-solving skills.

Thanks chris I thought I had heard that there is a way to apply for it
Good morning Mark, There is a video platform that focuses on your google analytics and that actually goes in your competitors markets and has you show up more in video organically which could benefit both of your stores.
Is this Wistia you are referring to Kaylee? Is it something anyone is using?
Don, It is not Wistia. My company has this aggressive platform that targets your competitors markets. We are fairly new but are partnered with over 800 dealerships now!

The Congress party in 1885 christened itself as a party of petitioners. It was rightly brought to the fore - the bankruptcy of Indian National Congress. It may be remembered that the Congress is and was a party of sycophants and adulators from the very beginning.
Congress Party's failure to put itself up as a constructive opposition at the national level is irrevocable unless some miracle occurs in Indian Polity. Let us hope the day when Congress dumps Sonia and the coterie soon. Because unless these forces in the Congress are made powerless, the leaders like S.M. Krishna, Ashok Gehlot, Vilasarao Deshmukh and Digvijay Singh and the like can rejuvenate the party at the National level.

This is a gauge I made in haste to use for setting the height of my table saw
blade. Since I have made the gauge
I have found many more uses for it. I have found the tool to be easier to get accurate readings because of the broad
base on the sliding portion of the tool. Most depth gauge plans call for a very small area that will make contact with the blades or router bits. Utilizing a larger contact surface on the slide of the tool does not allow as much room for error when trying to judge the exact location to set the gauge to contact a saw blade at it's highest arc when setting the blade height on a table saw.
This simple tool can be used to measure the height of saw blade or router bit.
Other uses include measuring the distance from the outside edge of a router bit to the router fence. It can be used to measure depths of rabbets or thickness' of material and can also be used to transfer layout lines.
The slide protrudes from the top of the base the same distance as the height of the blade or bit that is being tested which makes it easy to use a scale the measure heights or depths.
The long piece on the bottom of the slide allows for easy detection of the highest arc of the blade.
Router bit height is very easy to determine. Just leave the thumb screw loose enough to allow the slide to raise as the bit or blade is being adjusted for height. When it reaches the correct mark, your there.
Makes quick for adjustments for router fences.
Works well for determining depths of rabbets.
Works nicely for layout work and measuring and transferring thickness' of materials or depths of rabbets and grooves.
Here the gauge is being used a stop for repeat cuts on the table saw sled
As I said above, I was in a rush when I designed this gauge. Not much for
thought went into it.
Because it has become a tool that I have come to depend on daily, I will soon be taking the time to refine it.
Some of the refinements will include
1. The tightening knob will be on the front side instead of the back.
2. The back block could be a 1/4 to 1/2 inch thicker to make it more stable when raising a blade or bit against the slide.
3. Add a self adhesive scale for accurate increments.

"Letter" to Prime Minister of Israel
1. There is a letter being circulated purporting to be from me when I was Prime Minister, to Ehud Barak, Prime Minister of Israel congratulating him on his appointment and requesting for the "Clinton Fund", for "the purpose of withstanding the onslaught of Islamic Fundamentalist in Malaysia".
2. This letter is not from me or from my office. Firstly, the font used is not the same as the type in all my letters from the Prime Minister's office.
3. The Malaysian Coat of Arms at the top is not similar to the one on all my letters from the Prime Minister's office.
4. The address at the side of the Coat of Arms is not the same as on my official paper. Often no address is printed, only "Prime Minister Malaysia" on the top right-hand corner.
5. The contents of the letter is totally different from the one I sent to Ehud Barak. Unfortunately, the Government of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi refuses permission to reproduce my letters to Israeli Prime Ministers condemning them for their oppression of the Palestinians. This action by the Abdullah Government will lend credence to the letter that is being circulated.
6. I deny categorically that the letter which is being circulated with annotation "Sumbangan kakitangan JPM untuk Rakyat Malaysia" originated from me. This is the kind of dirty tricks that my detractors have to resort to because they have found nothing to blacken my name with.

After reading the letter, the first thing that came to my mind was 'wow, this so called official government to government letter must have been written by someone unfamilliar with writing official letters. The language used was so informal I doubt its authencity.
What gave it away was the request in the 3rd paragraph, asking to convey a certain message to the US State Secretary, Mrs Albright.
Malaysia already has a direct diplomatic relations with the US, thus this request is quite redundant and time wasting. A leader of a country would not simply ask another leader of another country to do a chore which can be done in an easier way in the first place. Therefore, the request was done in bad taste.
Furthermore, in paragraph 4, I see no point in washing dirty linen in public whereby our then PM was trying to tell Ehud Barak the problems he was facing back home in trying to establish a diplomatic relation with Israel.
Lastly, you do not include other unrelated matters in a congratulatory statement letter. That is against protocol and normal official decorum.
The author of this letter was TRYING TOO HARD to convince us that he failed to adhere to the strict guidelines in writing official G2G letter, Thank you.

Dengan Official Letterhead anything can be done.
Ada buku on Collection of Letters by Dr Tun Dr. Mahathir to leaders of the world kat MPH , cuba beli dan check gaya bahasa atau do some langauge forensics.
Hmm!!! Honorable is in American English lah, Dr Tun Dr. Mahathir being an "English Medium" educated person would definitely spell it as Honourable.
In the third paragraph however the author spell the word "honor" as "honour" as per UK English. A bit inconsistent!
Even Tony Blair would not change his spelling to please president Bush by using American English. English language users especially Dr Tun Dr. Mahathir takes pride in excellent English.
One obvious giveaway is that the "Author" of that letter could well be an American graduate or depended on Microsoft Word programmed with default US English but did not bother to correct honour to honor in the third paragraph!
British Educated people OR those who took MCE/HSC in the years before 1980 will tend to follow strictly to the British English. Even if Microsoft word insist "Emphasise" should be "Emphasize" or " Specialise" should be "Specialize" we don't care, those are American English.
You see my friend "It is elementary my dear Watson, says Sherlock Holmes" case solved.Kalu tak faham frasa (phrase/quote) ni, google up Sherlock Holmes dan siapa Watson tu. Sekarang ni semua ada kat internet, apa susah!

"The pictures were fabulous and reflected our day better than I could have imagined"
One of the things most important to me when planning our wedding was to have great pictures at the end of it. After all our wedding day was all a blur. Cara was great from the first email, to our first meeting on the day of our wedding. She was easy to get a hold of, flexible, and a pleasure to talk to. She asked for a list of important pictures so she would be sure to get those- which was great, because everything happens so fast come wedding day. The day of the wedding she was so relaxed and extremely professional. And of course the pictures were fabulous and reflected our day better than I could have imagined. I really would recommend her, she was the perfect addition to our day!

Answering all your questions about renting a property…
How much will it cost? - What payments are due, and when do I need to pay them?
Here's our guide to the charges you may incur when you rent a property through us. All charges include VAT.
Due at the time of application
Application fee: £295
Each additional applicant: £200 per applicant
This covers checking your identity, immigration and visa details (required by law), credit checks, obtaining references from current or previous employers and landlords and any other relevant information to confirm affordability.
Other potential application fees
Guarantor application fee: £90
If you're asked to provide a guarantor, eg if you're a student or self-employed, we'll need to carry out a credit check on your guarantor. This fee covers those costs. This is due at time of the application for a property or if requested and needed prior the tenancy starting.
Adding an additional tenant to existing tenancy agreement: £200 (including VAT)
For an existing tenancy, where a new tenant wants to live at the property with the agreement of the landlord, this fee covers checking the additional applicant's identity, immigration and visa details (required by law), credit checks, obtaining references from current or previous employers and landlords and any other relevant information to assess affordability.
When the tenancy starts
Deposit: Equivalent to 5 weeks rent.
This covers the cost of any dilapidations or damage sustained during the tenancy. The deposit is held in by a third party (read more about deposits below).
First month's rent
This must be cleared in full into our Client Account before the day you sign your tenancy agreement.
Subsequent months' rent
This will be due on the same day each month as you signed your Tenancy Agreement.
If the tenancy is renewed
Tenancy renewal fee: £30
If you choose to renew your tenancy when it comes to an end, this charge covers any re-negotiation of terms, and amending and creating a new tenancy agreement.
Other changes that may be due
Returned Direct Debit or standing order payments: £30
This is an administration charge per refund where a Direct Debit or standing order has not been cancelled. It will usually be deducted from overpaid monies.
What will I be responsible for at the property?
As the tenant you are responsible for the following, and this will be fully detailed in your tenancy agreement.
- bills for gas, electricity, water and council tax
- telephone, broadband or cable TV if you want these*
- repairing any appliances that are not included in the tenancy
- insuring your own possessions in the property
- keeping the property clean, tidy and in the condition you found it
- informing the landlord or Mark Templer Residential about any defects.
*(If these are not already installed, you'll need the landlord's permission to install them.)
How do deposit arrangements work?
At the start of your tenancy you will be given a detailed 'inventory and schedule of condition, complete with photos. The inventory acts as a statement of the property's contents and condition, allowing us to fairly assess any dilapidations at the end of the tenancy.
We will register your deposit with a government-approved tenancy deposit scheme. This provides an independent arbitration service and protects your deposit.
We will tell you which tenancy deposit scheme your deposit has been lodged with, at the start of the tenancy. This is usually done by us or may be done by your landlord. If this is the case we will notify you. The scheme we use is the DPS.
I will be moving out soon, do I get my deposit back?
When the time comes to leave your rented property, we will send a lettings consultant to carry out the 'check out', and to compare the condition of the property and any contents to the inventory we made at the start of the tenancy. We will endeavour to return your deposit within 14 days of the tenancy expiring.

We are a 57-unit co-op housing development located in Southeast Vancouver… after looking at several painting contractors, we chose Vanguard Painting as the contractors to paint our entire townhouse complex. They completed the project to our satisfaction. In our dealings with them, we found them to be very competent, professional and accommodating. We highly recommend Vanguard Painting to anyone who is planning a painting project, no matter how large or complex that project may be.
Chick Barretto
Maintenance Committee
Riverside Landing Housing Co-op
The British Columbia Transplant Society recently contracted with Vanguard Painting to repaint our entire office, including patient exam rooms, patient waiting room and patient washrooms… We were very pleased with the Vanguard team. Everyone we dealt with was pleasant, efficient and they did exactly what they said they were going do, when they said they would do it. We would definitely recommend Vanguard as well as use them again ourselves.
Bill Barrable
Provincial Executive Director
I am writing this letter of reference on behalf of Vanguard Painting. We are a housing co-operative comprised of 65 units on the east side of Vancouver. In our situation price was a factor, but not nearly as important as the need to have a firm that was not only able to complete the job in a timely manner, but was able to deal effectively with the concerns and personalities of our residents… The Co-operative has never looked better and our Committee has received many compliments in this regard. If you are looking for a firm that cares about their work and the people whose dwellings they are working on, I suggest you look no further.
Jeff Piper
Property Committee Chair
Board Member
Still Creek Housing Co-operative
I have had the pleasure of knowing Vanguard Painting for several years... I feel very confident in recommending Vanguard Painting for any job, big or small, in new construction or repainting, interior or exterior. Quentin, Michael, Josh and all the crews are true professionals… They follow proper painting practices. They look for good technical recommendations and follow through on them. Vanguard crews are much more experienced and trained then most crews I have seen. On a personal note they are honest and genuine, and are great to work with.
Greg Bertram
Sales and Service Representative
General Paint
Vanguard Painting Ltd completed a large contract to paint approximately 70 residential suites in our rental project at 1129 & 1189 Main St Vancouver. We are pleased with their work, their professionalism and the courtesy of their many painters to our tenants. We do not hesitate to recommend them as painting contractors for any large or small job. As an additional reference, Vanguard completed a large outside painting job at the 65 unit Co-op at Slocan and Grandview Highway, in a workmanlike and efficient way.

Rant (Sort of) May 2006
I am no stranger to obsession. In one of my earlier instances of fragile mental health, I woke in the middle of the night with an absolute need to put up my new Lionel train set NOW! I not only roused my parents with the urgency of this quest, but called my older brother at his home demanding his help. I should have been on Prozac. (Wait! There wasn't any Prozac in the mid-50's. Okay. Miltown. Or Cutty Sark. Or Mary Jane. Or heroin. Any of them, alone or in combination, would have been a blessing to my parents)
Another obsession. In 1979 I was introduced to the cast album of a musical called "Working". Based on a book by Studs Turkel it included several songs I liked. By the mid 80's I was working in Washington State and was searching for a copy of the cast album. This was before the internet and it wasn't easy then. I became obsessed. I actually worried I would die without hearing that album again. When I, at last, got my copy of the CD a few years later I wasn't sure what the big deal had been.
That's the way of most obsessions. Turns out they aren't a big deal after all.
So, now to bore you with my life-long obsession. A movie. A movie I saw once and hope to see at least once more before I die. For more than 40 years I wondered and fretted over this movie. It has been an obsession.
In the 1950's the Duluth CBS television affiliate was Channel 3 KDAL Television. (Changed call-letters later because of FCC rules re: multiple ownership) The nightly news with Earl Henton was at 10:00PM followed about 15 minutes later by weird programming and then the Late Show. Usually, I was fast asleep by the time the Late Show began, but on this fateful night I started watching. A couple of hours later, the movie ended, the tears rolled down my cheeks, and I began the over 40 year obsession.
IN the ensuing years I didn't think about the movie often except for the niggling feeling that I wanted to remember more about it. By the early 70's, I was thinking about it more and more. What was the name? Who directed it? When was it produced? I didn't have any of the answers. A couple of times in the 70's I made a half-hearted attempt to find out the title of the movie. I wrote a letter to the organization that awards the Oscars. No reply. In 1980 I wrote a letter to Bill Tush at WTBS in Atlanta. At the time, he hosted the old movies on the SuperStation. No reply. I bought several of the books listing ALL the movies and read them page by page looking for a synopsis that sounded familiar. No luck. On a trip back to Minnesota, I spent some time in the library looking at microfilm of the TV listings from the 50's hoping to see my movie listed. Nope.
In the mid 80's, while staying at Don Bleu's home in California I told them about my search for THE movie! At that time I was already 20 years into my obsession.
"The movie begins with a patriarchal father and his family at breakfast. His three children and wife love him while at the same time cower before him. His word is his bond and doing the right thing is the only thing. This means his oldest son practices the violin, his younger children obey without question, and his wife knows she has married a GOOD man. Trusted by his employer to transfer some bearer bonds to the 'big city' he is delayed through no fault of his own and arrives at the bank after closing. Banks closed at 3PM in the 40's, I think. Realizing he must stay over to deliver the bonds the next morning, he mistakenly looks for dinner in a low-down joint where he is slipped a mickey by a b-girl. The woman and her accomplices not only steal his briefcase with the bonds, but they also take his clothes and wallet. He awakens from his drugged stupor in time to realize what has happened and to give chase. Eventually, he catches up with the fleeing thief in a railroad yard next to the flea-bag hotel. During a struggle over the briefcase, the bad-guy falls in front of a speeding train, his body mangled beyond description, while the 'hero' of the story is knocked into momentary amnesia and wanders off. He comes to his senses several days later to find out a series of horrible mistakes have been made. The mangled body of the thief, wearing his suit and carrying his identification has been identified by the authorities as our hero. The bonds have been recovered and he is being honored for giving his life in an attempt to prevent the bond theft. Overcome with guilt and shame because HE was late to the bank, HE went into a sleazy bar. HE allowed a woman of low morals to 'chat him up'. HE got slipped a mickey and worst of all, HE fought with a man who lost his life. He is so ashamed he cannot face the bosses at the bank OR his family and vows not to tell them he is still alive. He becomes a hobo, riding the rails, begging in the street, and in typical movie fashion, the pages of the calendar fly off to show the passage of years until a fateful Christmas eve when, now, a disheveled old street-person, he passes a theater and notices the play-bill outside announcing the final performance that afternoon by the rising star, young violinist, his son. Somehow he scrounges enough coins to give him a seat in the highest balcony where he watches his son play, with incredible virtuosity, the classics and the traditional songs his father so loved so many years before. At the end of the concert the son thanks the audience and relates how he is taking the train that evening to his home town to be with his mother and siblings on Christmas Eve. He also says he wishes his father could be with them and how desperately he misses him. His last song is the same song he was practicing at the breakfast table, that fateful morning years before. Overcome with memories and grief, the tears fall as the father listens to his now grown son play. After the concert, the old man travels by freight train to the home town he hadn't been back to in years and walks through the Christmas snow to his old family house. His family is inside aglow with the Christmas spirit, enjoying each other and remembering their father and Christmases past. The mother says she would give anything to have him with them on this night. Suddenly, a scream as one of the party goers notices the grizzled face staring in the window. They run to the door, angry at the window peeper, and see this old man scuttling down the front walk toward the front gate, his back to them. At first they are angry, but the mother reminds them it IS Christmas and a little kindness and charity is in order. She invites him to join their little party.
At this moment if you are watching the movie, you know, he will turn around….they will recognize him…..the will be overcome with shock and happiness and everything will end wonderfully. A wonderful happy ending.
The old man pauses at the invitation, his head still hidden from those on the porch. A moment. A decision. He opens the gate and walks into the street. The mother looks helpless and disappointed as her children hustled her back inside and out of the cold. The old man turns and looks toward the house one more time as the caroling resumes and the snow begins to fall. His shoulders droop indicating a slow sigh. The camera shot widens and rises as he turns and begins his slow walk away down the street into the gently falling snow.
The End
The tears were streaming down my face on that night in the 50's and thinking about it now, my eyes moisten. I am a sucker for 1940's movie schmaltz. I hope Don Bleu's family enjoyed my rendition of the movie as much as I enjoyed it the only time I saw it. Through the 90's the quest to find the title of the movie continued. Another stab at Leonard Maltin's bible of movies. No luck. Several letters. Several more recitations of the entire story for movie aficionados. Still, no luck. In 2004, I was sitting at the computer in San Francisco and found a yahoo 'movie fan' group. I joined and in my first thread asked about the movie. I included the story-line. Ten minutes later, someone added to my thread ALL the information I have searched for all these years.
The name of the movie? The Way Of All Flesh (Made twice…as a silent in 1929 and the one I saw 13 or so years later) Starring Akim Tamiroff. And yes….listed in the Leonard Maltin movie book.
Out of print and currently not available. There must be some copies of it out there somewhere. KDAL had one in the 50's, didn't they? Leonard Maltin saw it and he is about my age, isn't he? Oh, God, please don't let it be one of the thousands of movies lost forever. Ted Turner, check your vaults, restore it, re-release it. I watch TCM devoutly with that wish. Let me see it one more time before I die. It is one of my last obsessions.

- What it IS and IS NOT
- Confusing Growth & Scale
- Key Dimensions of Growth (Intangible vs Tangible)
