The breath-taking single-storey home, designed in the 1960s by Richard Rogers, has been recently restored by Gumuchdjian Architects and is now a most fitting environment for the Harvard University Graduate School of Design (Harvard GSD) fellowship residents as well as a relaxed, spacious setting for on-going events and seminars. Standout features of the renovated Wimbledon House include two wet rooms within the lodge, fully clad in HI-MACS® surfaces.
22 Parkside or Rogers House as it's also known, was a blueprint for industrialised housing and a radical departure from more common building methods of the time. It follows a modular format that would allow for the renewal of technology and developing needs over time made possible by the long-life steel portal frame structure, giving the house its iconic appearance. The property is characterised by the then-radical use of fully glazed facades to create a contemporary composition of courtyards, gardens and linked interior space.

Racial Comrades:
Yesterday I forwarded to you an article from Edgar Steele's Conspiracy Pen Pals e-list entitled "A Government Of Men." As always with Ed, it was a very well written and concisely formulated analysis of one aspect of the overall problem our race and our civilization faces today, i.e. the fact that the legal and Constitutional norms which have governed our society for two hundred years are now null and void, and the United States has become an arbitrary government of individual bureaucrats, criminals and incompetents. It was very well stated.
With the greatest of personal and political respect to Edgar Steele, therein lies the difficulty. Mr. Steele has aptly and articulately STATED THE PROBLEM. But beyond a few vague and obscure references to "restoring the Constitution", he made no suggestions whatsoever as to exactly how we go about SOLVING that problem. In his article there is not an inkling as to how we go about "restoring the Constitution" or just how the hell we are supposed to do anything else about the fact that we are ruled by criminals and fools.
This is the essence of the American Right. This is what we have been doing for the past 57 years. Time and time again, over and over and over, in untold numbers of newspapers and pamphlets and cow pasture rallies and now on the Internet, we state and re-state THE PROBLEM in a hundred different ways and from every possible angle.
But that is ALL we do...constantly state and re-state and re-formulate and re-analyze and reiterate THE PROBLEM. This isn't original with me; Jost Turner identified this "problem orientation" weakness of ours back in the 1980s.
I have been involved in "this thing of ours", for 34 years now, since I was 14 years of age. During that time I can count on the fingers of one hand the times that I have heard anyone other than myself suggest any kind of practical solution to the crisis of civilization that we face, the looming genocide of our race. By that I mean a program of action which was based on something other than the endless generation of WORDS.
Is this because there is no solution to our problem? No. There is a solution, and we all know it.
That solution is very simple, ancient, and effective. The government and the people who are doing all of this to us must be REMOVED from power. Not un-elected and replaced with a different set of droids in three-piece suits, but REMOVED, physically, like you move a piece of furniture from point A to point B. These people must be moved from the corridors of power to the gallows. (Or possibly the guillotine. Yes, I could go for a guillotine, with Sarah Weaver and Debbie Matthews sitting by and knitting.)
The men and women who are responsible for inflicting war, oppression, depravity, injustice and horror on the White people of America must be physically dragged out of their offices by White men with weapons in their hands, and they must be punished for what they have done.
To borrow a phrase from Iz-ra-hell, the entire "terrorist infrastructure" of the current United States government must be dismantled and replaced with a republican form of government of, by, and for the people of European descent who created America and to whom the North American continent rightfully belongs. I would prefer that such a government be based on the principles of National Socialism, but frankly right now I don't care. The long-term implications of allowing the present power structure to remain in place are so appalling that just about anything White would be an improvement.
Hell, if we can produce another man of the stature of Commander Rockwell, let's crown him King. Napoleon may have been dragged into a series of pointless wars by the outraged Powers That Be (like his 20th-century successor in Germany) but his legal and political and social reforms survive in France to this day. A White Napoleon is better than Hillary Clinton any day.
All of our other problems will be solved through the physical removal of the present power structure, and none of them will be solved without it.
We KNOW this.
Every man (and the few women) reading these lines KNOWS this.
But we don't DO it. In fact, the likelihood of our attempting such a thing in my lifetime is so slim that I'm not particularly worried about writing or publishing these words despite the draconian government measures of the past nine months. I'm simply writing science fiction here, and the FBI and whoever the hell else is monitoring me know it.
Why don't we do it? I am tempted to state flat out that it's plain old common or garden variety cowardice, that we are not White, we're yellow. And there is a good deal of truth in that. But it's also due to physical and moral LAZINESS of various kinds.
We have become too lazy to bestir ourselves in much of anything, never mind revolution. We have become too mentally lazy to think, hence our desire for a Man On A White Horse to take our membership dues and do our thinking for us. (I was speaking earlier of a true Napoleon, by the by, not a Man On A White Horse, if you follow the difference.) We have become too spiritually lazy to make moral and ethical judgements on the behavior of others, hence the endless shades of apathetic gray wherein frolic Chrome-Dome and The Great Man Himself.
Not that there's much risk of a Napoleon, at least not coming from us. We seem to have become incapable of generating any bona fide leadership from within our Racially Conscious Community. The National Alliance is a silly joke at best and its leader is a long-term Federal asset. Everybody knows it, and no one cares. The one serious attempt in the past decade to replace the NA with a bona fide revolutionary leadership on a national level failed, due to nothing so much as sheer lack of interest.
There is only one solution. White people should have had their own version of the Provisional I.R.A. in this country starting in the late 1950s. All of us know this perfectly well. But we preferred the television, the air conditioner, the foaming can of beer from the cooler, and the mesmerizing spectacle of niggers chasing a ball. It's now the 21st century and the bill is coming due, as Edgar Steele found out a few weeks ago when the Christines were dragged away into living hell by the government we have allowed to assume power over our lives. And we ain't seen nothing yet...wait until 2004 when Hillary plunks her liposucted buttocks back down in the Oval Office.
Okay, so what DO we do? Right now, the only two things we can feasibly implement given the human material we have to work with.
1) Do what I have just done, and Come Home. You know my reasoning behind that and I won't digress on that topic here.
2) REMOVE THE TABOO on speaking aloud what we all know to be the truth. Look, you guys know that I am not very big on verbalization replacing action. But in this case we need to at least get to Square One, and speaking aloud a truth we have all been hitherto afraid to utter is a definite Square One from which we can begin.
Historically speaking, the physical courage to act is always preceded by the moral courage to speak. Before George Washington came Patrick Henry and Thomas Paine. Neither I nor anyone else expects the middle-aged men with big bellies who comprise the overwhelming majority of all right-wing and racial nationalist mailing lists to do any storming of the barricades any time soon. We have failed in our duty there, but we can at least prepare the next generation. With any luck, they will re-discover the testicles that we seem to have mislaid somewhere among the beer and the nachos.

As the days continue to get shorter and we hurtle towards the Winter Solstice (December 21st), its time to whip out that camera and own the night.
The hush of empty streets, the crisp cold air and the enchanting glow of electrical light framing the structures of the city. There is something inherently calming about photography at night.
One of the most striking opportunities for sans-sun shooting in Berlin lies close to Postdamer Platz, in the former Cold War West of the city – the Berliner Philharmonie.
Designed by Hans Scharoun, the Berliner Philharmonie was completed in 1963 to replace the original venue, destroyed in 1944 during a British air raid. Comprised of two large concert halls (the smaller of the two added in the 1980s), the Philharmonie has a combined capacity of 3,620. It is located on Herbert-von-Karajan-Straße – named for the orchestra's longest-serving principal conductor.
The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra owes much of its reputation to the man still measured by many as the greatest conductor in history, Wilhelm Furtwängler. . Furtwängler led the orchestra from 1923 until 1945, returning for two years in 1952. His career, however, is still plagued with the question of whether remaining in Germany during World War Two, although not an adherent of the Nazi regime, lent prestige to the Third Reich.
Founded in 1882, the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra initially performed under the name Frühere Bilsesche Kapelle (Formerly Bilse's Band), a reference to the orchestra's former conductor, Benjamin Bilse. The 54 musicians of the orchestra had ceremoniously broken away from Bilse after he announced his intention of taking the band to Warsaw for a concert – on a fourth-class train.
On 23rd August 1945, the chief conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Leo Borchard, was accidentally shot by American occupation forces at a military checkpoint. The German-Russian Borchard had been banned by the Nazi regime in 1935, only to be appointed as head of the Philharmonic Orchestra by Soviet Commander Nikolai Berzarin personally, in the spring of 1945. His death was marked with a performance of Mahler's 6th Symphony.

The attribute shape taken by way of English Marxism because the warfare has been the examine of background. No author exemplifies its achievements higher than Edward Thompson, whose Making of the English operating Class is definitely one of the so much influential unmarried paintings of old scholarship by means of a socialist this present day. An editor of The New Reasoner in 1957–59, a founding father of the recent Left in 1960, now an eloquent champion of civil rights, Thompson has so much lately aroused frequent curiosity with the looks of his Poverty of Theory, which mixes philosophical and political polemic with Louis Althusser, and strong advocacy of the historian's craft. Arguments inside English Marxism is an evaluation of its vital theses that relates them to Thompson's significant historic writings themselves. therefore the position of human agency—the a part of the wakeful selection and lively will—in background is mentioned via attention of its remedy in The Making of the English operating Class. the issues of base and superstructure in old materialism, and of association to values some time past, are reviewed within the gentle of Whigs and Hunters. The claims of utopian mind's eye are illustrated from the findings of William Morris. Questions of socialist process are broached partially in the course of the articles now gathered in Writing via Candlelight. Exploring right away changes and convergences among New Left Review and one in every of its founders, the essay concludes through suggesting the virtues of variety inside a typical socialist tradition.

There are particular tensions, for example, attached to the histories of peoples or nations with their emphases upon distinctness and uniqueness. The Whig view of English history is a fine example of this. This chapter also discussed how scholars and students of history must come to tenns with a number of key ideas if they are to understand the past more effectively. Historical studies are crucially shaped by the conception of what we call 'historical problems'. Using the concept of time itself, we argued that academics today see themselves not simply as story-tellers, but as problem-solvers.
The Scottish cleric William Robertson (1721-93) acquired a European reputation with his works, which were praised by Catherine the Great, D'Holbach and Voltaire, and he was elected to academies in Madrid, Padua and St Petersburg. ' The Scottish philosopher and Tory historian David Hume (1711-76) was best known in his lifetime as the author of The History qfEngland (1754-62), a six-volume work of enormous popular appeal which earned him considerable royalties. Hume's great work of history was primarily a synthesis, although he did conduct research in documents he felt to be relevant to his arguments and he employed explanatory notes; nor did he avoid critical controversy.
Hegel (1770-1831), the German philosopher, and writers like him, gave no credence to the role played by Mrican civilisation. While Mrican scholarship was well established by the early Middle Ages, principally through Islamic historians, European historiography was bitty by comparison. The Renaissance saw a revival of the cyclical view of history which had been popular with the Greeks and Romans. Behind the cyclical interpretation of history was the idea that great civilisations - for example Greece, Rome and Egypt - rose and fell, with new ones rising in their place.

Total System Services (TSS) is due to report its latest earnings numbers on Wednesday, so let's take a look at the charts and indicators of this credit card processor, merchant acquirer and bank credit card issuer.
In this daily bar chart of TSS, below, we can see that prices declined with the broad market averages in the fourth quarter of 2018. TSS peaked in September and dropped from $100 to around $76. Prices broke below the 50-day moving average line and the 200-day moving average line. The slopes of both indicators were negative in December when prices made a v-like reversal.
TSS has rallied back to the underside of the $96-$100 resistance area in August/September. The 50-day line is poised to cross the 200-day line for a potential bullish golden cross.
The daily On-Balance-Volume (OBV) line rose with prices to the end of September and then declined to the end of December. A new uptrend in the OBV line this year points to more aggressive buying and argues for TSS to move higher in the weeks ahead.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) oscillator crossed the zero line in January for an outright go long signal. In February the MACD oscillator crossed to the downside for a take profits sell signal.
In this weekly bar chart of TSS, below, we can see that prices are above the slightly rising 40-week moving average line. The weekly OBV line looks like it is making a double top with the highs seen in September.
The weekly MACD oscillator crossed above the zero line last month for an outright go long signal but it is already narrowing towards a possible bearish crossover. The overall price pattern of the last year or so could be a large top formation.
In this Point and Figure chart of TSS, below, we can see a potential longer-term price target of $129. A rally to $100.37 would strengthen this chart and a decline to $86.45 is likely to be bearish.
Bottom line strategy: Risking a close below $91, traders could go long TSS on strength above $96 and above $100. $130 is the potential price target.

When fish are really spread out, maybe because it's a cloudy day or it's in the fall and they're really feeding and roaming around a lot following the bait, I like to fish a Strike King Sexy Spoon. With its vibration and flash, and the fact that you can cast it a mile, it's a good lure for covering a lot of water.
Usually, I'll fish the 5-inch size, but sometimes I'll downsize to the 4-inch model if the bass are holding a bit shallower and are chasing smaller forage. Mainly this is something I try on a fairly flat bottom between a drop-off and the bank, where it's probably much less than 20 feet deep. I look for mussel shell beds, slow tapering bars between the river ledge and the bank, a hump on the flat - places like that.
The Sexy Spoon has a nice cradling action, so I don't use any kind of swivel with it; I just tie it directly to 20-pound-test fluorocarbon. You'll get some line twist, but not bad. I fish it with a 7-foot, 11-inch rod that's fairly stiff because can make long casts with it and set the hook better. After I cast out, I'll let the spoon sink to the bottom, then sweep it up with that long rod. Then I kill it and let it go back down on a slack line; that's very important. You'll get more strikes if you let the Sexy Spoon fall horizontally on a slack line so it has that good rocking action. Believe me, you'll know if a bass sucks it in.

Will and Mechanisms
Will and Mechanisms is a profound philosophical study on explaining, especially on explaining human action. Whereas the term "will" refers to the mysterious power of human beings to make genuine decisions, the term "mechanism" refers to the idea of mechanical explanation, which is often seen as a unifying explanatory device for all fields of science. By highlighting these two terms, the author brings out the notorious tension that arises when one tries to find a place for a freely acting human being in the world of causal ralations and laws. After all, throughout the history of science there have been problems in fitting the two into the same wider picture. However, the humble aim of this study is to release this tension, and this is carried out by carefully concentrating on both sides one at a time. Eventually, the author finds himself considering the most fundmental questions concerning the natures of explaining and acting, and through this he ends up distinguishing various perspectives, which one may use to view human action. These perspectives are not only proven to exist by contemplating various instances of our everyday life, but to exist of necessity, since otherwise the world would be contradictory to an untenable extent.

I want to find out what People think are better to use and what apps they can't live with out.
I always like the Iphone due to the fact that the last company I worked for was a marketing company and also designed APPS for them. So always had the newest apps and phones. But now i see alot of people have backberrys and want to find out are they any good for anything esle other than email and phone calls.
I think that we (IT people) sometimes are wrong when evaluating which product to buy for our company. I also used to try to find out which product has the most features, like separate volume sliders and all the stuff that was mentioned in all previous posts. Then i tried to evaluate work load for our IT department in terms of initial deployment , maintenance and customization.
Having learnt from the past i now try to see the products to evaluate from end user's eyes. Supposing that the end users are not the IT dep. staff, what do they want ?
- A product that is easy to use, without 5 days training
- A product that satisfies their needs. And i mean real needs, not what they feel they need to have :-) Being objective is difficult sometimes.
- A product that is stable and if possible works OOTB.
- If possible it could look nice too :-)
Honestly, having a bunch of functions and settings is cool, for us, but the average user working in sales, financial dep, ... is more often lost in config screens than using all these functions. So by the end workload for 1st level support is more important, and end user frustration is also more common than with a simpler product. A simple product that mets end users requirements does not needs all this fun stuff and endless customization possibilities...
Having said this our choice was clear. We did go for iPhones and are happy with :-)

having tried Apple products I find that Android has much more to offer without the limitations that Apple force on you...
Phone:- HTC Desire
Tablet:- Motorola Xoom (On Order)
DITTO on android and the phone.
We've got a fleet of iphones for staff, and they love them. Blackberry's are ok, but just don't have the versatility and ease of use as iphones.
While iphones don't have a factory central management system for IT departments, there are apps available for that.
With such a huge scope for customising and tweaking android phones, i suspect they might be a nightmare to support.
Even a Blackberry is more customizable than an iPhone. For example, with the iPhone, you can change the sounds for the ringtone and new text message indicator, but email, calendar, etc. are not customizable.
Volume levels is also a problem. Seems that there's one slider bar for all audio notifications. So I can't the ringer softer and new text/email louder. I also can't have an escalating ringer.
I think it really depends on how you see yourself using the phone. I recently switched from a Blackberry to an Android phone. Overall web browsing is faster and better. The software on the phone runs better. You have options to remotely access PCs, etc. There are also just a whole lot of fun and business apps out there, especially for the iPhone.
However, the soft keyboard drives me insane. I really did use my Blackberry primarily for texting, email and instant messaging. I could type up to 20 words per minute on it. I felt no need to turn on a pc to answer emails. Now a one line response to an email is torture. And instant messaging, which I use a lot, I just won't do on the phone any more.
I also think that you will find the the sound quality on the iPhone for phone calls is much much better than on the Blackberry. I found that using the stereo headset that comes with the Blackberry to have much better sound quality than holding the phone up to my ear. Whereas my HTC Evo and the iPhones some of my friends have let me borrow have great sound quality when held up to the ear and used as phones.
And don't forget, neither the Blackberry or iPhone currently support 4G. So if you want to download/upload quickly without using wifi, a 4G Android phone is the way to go.
So although the apps on my new phone are cool, I don't actually use the Android phone near as much as I did the Blackberry.

If you're connecting to a corporate Exchange server, then BES gives you a lot more control over the BB handsets than you get via Exchange on the iPhone/WinMo/Droid handsets. However, it's not cheap and I object to having to pay RIM 28GBP extra per month per handset for that :D
If you don't need that control, then iPhone/Droid is fine.
Easy one for us, we recently moved the entire company from BB to iPhone.
Having tried several Android phones, I find the iPhone to be more stable, reliable, and a smoother UI. I wish they would give a bit more customization on the audio notifications, but I've gotten over it. Maybe in iOS5...
i was a blackberry user, now an android user.
Apple does have enterprise managment tools for iphones. http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/enterprise/
maybe not a slick and feature filled as BES but still quite useful.
Having used all three and currently wearing an android on my hip i say it's potato - poh-tah-toe. I loved my blackberry and miss the physical keyboard and wish now that i had gotten an android with one. I loved the simplicity and straightforward functionality of what it did. The few apps i loved (twitter, telnet, ping, etc) i had and used. The iphones that are dominant on our network at work are great, they work well with out MSExchange (phew), and when i used an iTouch on our network i honestly didn't use it for listening to music, it was an appliance. (Browser, respond to tickets via tickets anywhere, vnc, telnet, ssh). I have similar apps, if just simply by other creators, on my android.
I have major doubts about the future of RIM, so I wouldn't touch Blackberries at this point.
Agreed, I don't see a bright future for RIM. They seem adamant about not incorporating features that are popular with competitors. While nonconformity is sometimes a good thing, it's not when it means losing customers.
I'm also not so hung up on Apple's restrictions like a lot of people. I'll use the device like it's meant to be. Just like the Sony PS. If you don't like the device as-is, don't buy it. It's not meant to be hacked to run home-brew apps. I can't say there's anything about an droid that I wish the iphone has.
Apple at least has been able to keep malware and such from their devices, and if that requires turning down some shady apps, then so be it.
FYI, before you think I work for Apple or are a fanboy, let me tell you this: I despise Steve Jobs, but I will admit, they make a good phone. You'll never see me use an Apple computer or anything else Apple. (Not that I exactly love MS either....I'm screwed aren't I?)
I've found Blackberry to be quite buggy but as stated before, certainly geared toward the business individual with a splash of youth via the now more available apps. iPhone is nice but IMO, still more of a niche product. When you line the iphone up with other phones out there and their capabilities, it's clear that it is not the most capable phone nor is it the most business friendly. Ultimately I would shoot for an Android device as it caters to most all your mobile needs. Expandable memory, App market that is ever growing and it's completely customizable. From UI to expandable memory.
Figured I'd leap on the dogpile.
We have ~20 company phones floating around. Most are Blackberries, 2 iPhones, and a Droid phone just to keep me on my toes. My observations have been:
If all you want is phone + email, Blackberry is hands-down the winner. A physical keyboard is much easier to type on and more intuitive to the users than the touchscreen variants could ever hope to be. With BESX being free and able to use personal plans I don't know why you would pick anything else for company use.
If you want something people can "play" with or expand beyond the mundane, iPhone probably has the most predictable & consistent user experience, while Android will offer something for the techies and people out there who want to mess with their phones.
iphone is much better for ease of use, and more apps out there. Blackberry is more a corporate type of phone and expensive to get your exchange email on. I am a droid fan right now, but loved my iphone also. hope my input helped. Please let me know if you have any more direct questions about any type of cellular device.
I personally prefer Android over either. As others have said, iPhone is good for those who like the "it just works" mindset. Blackberry does seem to be falling back a bit, but I have to say BES is still the only full feature enterprise solution among the three major mobile OSs, and if you can sell your users on BBs (which is becoming more and more difficult) BES can definitely make your life easier. Android also has its flaws, but gets the job done for me. Still haven't even touched WinMo 7, so can't comment on that.
We use BB's, except for the VPs who after throwing their weight in, cuz they like the "cool" of touch screens, we got them iphones, per their request. Everyone else for the business, the BB still is the winner. E-mail and phone. For the managers this is what their work phones need to do.
Personally i have an iphone, which i love.
Since email and calling are paramount over angybirds and facebook BBY tends to be the device of choice here.
User - Look at all the cool stuff yo can do an an iPhone.
MGMT - Non of that stuff is business related.
We had a near miss when a local airline asked us to test an app for them (since we have a lot of frequent travelers) until it was pointed out the BBYs can use the mini website of theres without issues and the app had no new cool features. Now that Future Shop (Best Buy Canada 2) has upgraded their app to do more than just replace the website functions iUsers were missing I could see this trend continuing. We many need to re-examine soon.

KIA Index
The 35th Infantry Regiment Association salutes our fallen brother, SSG Ronald Leroy Kent, who died in the service of his country on January 20th, 1967 in Binh Dinh Province, Vietnam. The cause of death was listed as Small Arms/AW. At the time of his death Ronald was 23 years of age. He was from Page, North Dakota. Ronald is honored on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Panel 14E, Line 57.The decorations earned by SSG Ronald Leroy Kent include: the Combat Infantryman Badge, the Silver Star, the Purple Heart, the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal, the Vietnam Campaign Medal and the Vietnam Cross of Gallantry with Palm Unit Citation.
There was a KIA/MIA (Recon Plt) in Jan or Feb l967, near Bong Son. There was a Staff Sergeant, from Recon Platoon, that became MIA, I think, during a firefight. He had been missing for a few days and Company B was set up on a narrow ridge (bluff on both sides), and my Platoon had an OP out and set up on a large rock and facing down the trail that we had just come up. There were two men on the OP when one of the men opened up with a burst of fire. I took a few men and hurried down to investigate. I climbed up on the rock where the OP was set up. The men informed me that what appeared to be an American came up the trail/ridge, one of the men commanded HALT but he kept coming on and that was when he was taken under fire. I went down to where the body was and it was a PAVN Soldier, with the Staff Sergeants uniform on, complete with Helmet, M-l6 and all. I never knew whether the Staff Sergeants' body was ever recovered or not. I never knew the SSG personally, but I remember what he looked like and always wondered, if his body was ever recovered. Have you seen anything on this. Captain Edgar Nealon was Co B CO and 1SG Herbert Tinnat was Co B First Sergeant, on that day. I've looked at the KIA list and the SSG may have been Ronald Kent. As I recall, we spent several days patrolling the area in search of his body. Just thought I would mention this while I was thinking about it.
Alonzo Jones
Ronald is buried at Page Cemetery, Page, ND
(His Silver Star Citation)
General Orders 1345, Award of The Silver Star, 4th Division, 14 June 1967
For gallantry in action against an armed hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam. Staff Sergeant Kent was serving as a squad leader with the Reconnaissance Platoon, 1/35th Infantry, 20 January 1967, on a search and destroy mission in Binh Dinh province. Moving up a hill through heavy underbrush, the platoon made contact with an NVA force in fortified positions. In the initial moments of the engagement the point squad and a second squad were pinned-down by a devastating volume of automatic weapons and sniper fire. Staff Sergeant Kent, seeing the desperate situation of his men, unhesitatingly rushed forward, firing aggressively on the enemy. Almost instantly, he was wounded by small arms fire but continued to advance, placing successive and accurate fire upon the enemy. So fierce was his onslaught, that the enemy was forced to concentrate on Staff Sergeant Kent's personal assault, which enabled the pinned-down squads to maneuver to safety and renew the attack. Staff Sergeant Kent continued his gallant and unselfish actions until he received a fatal wound. His completely unselfish heroism allowed his men to gain the tactical advantage and subsequently annihilate the enemy positions. Staff Sergeant Kent's outstanding display of leadership, devotion to duty, and personal bravery is in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflects great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.

"You have traveled too fast over false ground;
Now your soul has come to take you back.
Take refuge in your senses, open up
To all the small miracles you rushed through.
Become inclined to watch the way of rain
When it falls slow and free.
Imitate the habit of twilight,
Taking time to open the well of color
That fostered the brightness of day.
Draw alongside the silence of stone
Until its calmness can claim you." – John O'Donohue

In that slightest interim, something more than the person looks out." – John O'Donohue

Pressed Steel Car strike of 1909
The Pressed Steel Car strike of 1909, also known as the "1909 McKees Rocks strike," was an American labor strike which lasted from July 13 through September 8. The walkout drew national attention when it climaxed on Sunday August 22 in a bloody battle between strikers, private security agents, and the Pennsylvania State Police. At least 12 people died, and perhaps as many as 26.[2] The strike was the major industrial labor dispute in the Pittsburgh district after the famous 1892 Homestead strike and was a precursor to the Great Steel Strike of 1919.
History of the strike [ edit ]
Background [ edit ]
Frank Norton Hoffstot's Pressed Steel Car Company, sited downstream from Pittsburgh on the south bank of the Ohio River in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, manufactured passenger and freight railroad cars on an assembly-line basis. It was America's second-largest rail car producer.[3] Pressed Steel employed a workforce of 6,000, most foreign born, comprising 16 distinct ethnicities. The firm was infamous for its style of industrial peonage with immigrant workers.[4]
Working conditions in the plant were primitive even by Pittsburgh standards.[5] Pressed Steel Car Company was locally called "The Last Chance" and "The Slaughterhouse". "Men are persecuted, robbed, and slaughtered, and their wives are abused in a manner worse than death—all to obtain or retain positions that barely keep starvation from the door," said Rev. A.F. Toner, a priest at St. Mary Roman Catholic Church in McKees Rocks, in an interview with The Pittsburgh Leader. The local coroner, Joseph G. Armstrong, estimated that deaths in the plant averaged about one a day and were often caused by moving cranes. One of the charges made by Slavic immigrant workers was that wives and daughters were subject to sexual harassment to repay food and rental debts to the company agents.[6]
Particularly galling to the workers was the use of the Baldwin contract, commonly known as "pooling." Under this system, jobs were parceled out in lots by a foreman who contracted that it be done for a given sum, with the money paid to be divided pro rata by the men under him.[7] The system was rife with corruption, with workers often paying substantial kickbacks to the foreman to retain their jobs.[8] The system resulted in unpredictable and often insufficient rates of pay, as one sympathetic journalist reported:
President [Frank N.] Hoffstot says that it has proven to be a very satisfactory arrangement. And it has — for the company. As evidence of this we saw several pay envelopes showing that many of the workers slave for practically nothing. One envelope showed that the owner worked nine days, ten hours a day, and got $2.75; another eleven days and received $3.75; another three days and got $1.75; another four days and got $1, and the fifth, who had been idle for two months, worked three days and received nothing.... The company manages the pooling system through the foreman — and the workers are skinned until their bones shine. * * * Two years ago, before the pooling system was introduced, the men were making $3, $4, and $5 a day. Today most of them make 50 and 75 cents and $1 a day."[9]
Adding further to the destabilizing misery was the company-owned housing, ramshackle dwellings housing six families and renting for $12 a month.[8] Moreover, the company owned the stores from which the workers had to buy their provisions at inflated prices, lest they lose their jobs.[8] The system of economic domination was particularly severe and there came a day when the breaking point was reached.
The strike begins [ edit ]
The strike was triggered on Saturday July 10, a payday on which many workers were shorter in their pay than usual. The men demanded an explanation; management refused to speak with the workers' representatives. James Rider, manager of The Pressed Steel Car Company, responded by hiring Pearl Bergoff, the notorious owner of strike-breaking paramilitary force.[10] The first fatality was an immigrant striker named Stephen Horvat, shot and killed by a black strikebreaker called Major Smith.[11] Two days later Berghoff had deployed 500 strikebreakers to the plant, most entering quietly by rail, although a boat called Steel Queen carrying 300 was rebuffed, at least initially, by strikers' gunfire on the shore.
The next day 200 state constables and 300 deputy sheriffs insured the safety of the strikebreakers and also began evicting strikers from company houses. The New York Times reported, "The illiterate foreigners were like so many savages today when they first caught sight of the khaki-clad constabulary who had come in during the night."[12]
The strikers were joined by members of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), especially William Trautmann, one of its founders. Trautmann later published a novel, Riot, about the McKees Rocks strike. After Trautmann's arrest for strike organizing activities, Joe Ettor replaced him, and IWW leader Big Bill Haywood also arrived to rally strikers.[13]
In all, some 5,000 workers of the Pressed Steel Car Company's plant at McKees Rock went out on strike. These were joined by 3,000 others who worked for the Standard Steel Car Company of Butler and others in New Castle.[14]
An adjacent company-owned community, Presston (called Schoenville at the time and popularly referred to as "Hunky Town"), was at the heart of the strike. Presston workers were kept in constant debt to the company store and those behind in rent were evicted. On Saturday August 21 Deputy Sheriff Harry Exley assisted in one eviction by placing a baby buggy on top of a wagon laden with a Presston family's possessions. A photographer captured the moment. When it was printed in a Pittsburgh newspaper, the photo whipped up public sympathy for the strikers.
This set up the confrontation of the next day, August 22, "Bloody Sunday". A crowd of thousands of strikers who'd set up a checkpoint identified Exley, in civilian clothes, and targeted him for retaliation. In a fury the mob killed him, and clashed with Pennsylvania State Police mounted on horseback, called "Black Cossacks" by immigrant Slav workers.[15] One local source put the number of dead at sixteen, which includes Exley, two state troopers, and three strikers. Perhaps ten others were gravely hurt, "while scores were wounded by being shot in the legs, hit by bricks and clubbed into unconsciousness by the constabulary." [16] Martial law was declared the next day.
Settlement of the strike [ edit ]
The strike was settled on September 8 when Pressed Steel Car agreed to a wage increase, the posting of wage rates, and ending abuses in company housing practices.
Legacy [ edit ]
Before the strike was over,[17] and then in more detail in 1911, the strikebreakers appeared before federal panels to describe their own living and working conditions after they were brought to the conflict.[18] Held inside the plant or in boxcars against their will, fleeced, stolen from, physically threatened, and given rotten food, one hearing witness collapsed and was diagnosed with ptomaine poisoning.[17] Two hundred of the strikebreakers had responded by banding together in their own improvised union. They'd quit work and were camping on the nearby banks of the Ohio River in an attempt to collect back wages, naming Chief of Police Farrell of the Coal and Iron Police and Pearl Bergoff's lieutenant Sam Cohen as those most responsible. Lawyer for the strikebreakers was the ambitious William N. McNair, who alleged that this treatment amounted to peonage. McNair would later serve one chaotic term as Mayor of Pittsburgh in 1934.
On August 22, 2009 the Pennsylvania Labor History Society and the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission dedicated a state historical marker there to commemorate the strike's centennial.[19]

Spring tide activity up and down Father Thames
Visiting craft from overseas have suddenly created much more activity along Father Thames last weekend. A tall ship from Poland, a Dutch beflagged mine sweeper, a trim new tug dressed overall added even more colour to the ever-increasing fleet of working barges. Activity of engineering craft doubles, engaged on the workings of the super sewer, which are being sound-proofed for the 24-hour working with new roofs and walls. These are enclosing the ever-increasing activity as the bore holes extend into the massive tunnelling as the extraordinary extends into a warren of lateral workings following beneath the tidal river. The capital explodes in construction of both residential and commercial projects in spite of challenging weather conditions.
Even more brightly painted plant and cranes provide a jolly spectacle for us riverside residents. They ply with the essential power of the tides along the 30-mile long, underground construction site, popping up like moles distributing the spoil along the proposed route down stream. Each major operator is defined in strong, corporate colour schemes.
Meanwhile in cultural Greenwich, revised corporate identities proclaim the Painted Hall's more subtle rebranding which also hosted a dinner for the Polish tall ship crews.
More tunnelling under tidal Thames between Tilbury and Gravesend to create a new super port in Essex.
Farewell Peter Warwick (far right)
An upright gentleman of the river traditions slipped away after a long illness. One of the organisers of the 'Great River Race', 'Thames Alive' and 'The New Trafalgar Dispatch' which was a re-enactment of the drama of Nelson's final departure from the Royal Steps at the Royal Naval College by river to St. Paul's. Peter Warwick organised similar historical enactments to celebrate Wellington and Waterloo – another of Peter's heroes. He was chairman of the 1865 Club. His great enthusiasm will be much missed.
Half Term holidays
I don't think river folk realise how vast is the area of the O2 canopy, especially as a large segment of the upper levels have become a fashionable shopping venue (to compete with the likes of Blue Water and the Stratford Centre). For years after the Millennium, the O2 was a venue for international musical festivals and sporting events which somehow or other featured on television channels. Its vastness has now become even more apparent as one is able to be escalated into the upper heights to reveal the secrets of the giant yellow tent poles and areas never seen until now by the public, such as the giant ventilation hole which hopefully elevates the Blackwall tunnel traffic fumes up and away through the double layered canopy.
It's well worth exploring this stylish, circular shaped mall which is full of international traders who have opened up, away from Knightsbridge and the other fashionable retail venues. Attractive discounts will bring shoppers via the speedy Jubilee Line and DLR, but alas not for the cruise ship brigade which was planned for the Greenwich Cruise Ship terminal a little further upstream. (This has been turned down by the planners.)
A good day to visit the O2 complex would be Sunday 19th May, when the annual Urban Village Fete brings a multitude of festivities which we have enjoyed over the past few years, held close to the North Greenwich Interchange. The proposed Design Complex is now under construction next to the successful Steve Parle's Craft restaurant where I take coffee, which will thrive all the better with a multitude of design folk on their doorstep upon completion in 2 years' time.
While down that way, pop into IKEA's new flagship store.
River Watch across the tideway
My panoramic riverside view is changing rapidly as the Canary Wharf skyline of 14 lofty skyscraper buildings compete for dominance, as well as neighbouring cross river development and on the Greenwich Peninsula, joining the competition.
Almost next door at the Trafalgar Tavern in Greenwich, a major redevelopment of the longest riverside bar has been enhanced by a wonderful collection of maritime paintings and artifacts. Frank Dowling's unique collection is there for all to see, set in this unique, historic tavern where a multitude of beers, wines and spirits are served with panache. Traditional whitebait dinners and gourmet foods are also on offer in these wonderful riverside saloons.
This popular establishment is not only for dining, but is a remarkable wedding reception venue, whose impressive riverside reception rooms have a unique style fit for the grandest of occasions, many of which are recorded in paintings and drawings on display.
Further down Crane Street, the Yacht is a less historic and grandiose affair, but also enjoys fine river views from their restaurant.
Immediately next door is the club house for the Globe and Curlew Rowing Clubs which have excellent facilities too for a riverside function. This week we enjoyed an evening there featuring the Watermen's Doggett Coat and Badge Race – an annual rowing event held since 1715 (said to be the oldest and longest rowing competition in the world) for apprentices between London Bridge and Cadogan Pier in Chelsea. Six Waterboatmen – members of the Watermen's Company – race with the tide for 5 miles. The prize is the scarlet livery of the Company itself together with a large, silver badge which is worn on the upper sleeve. Alas, skilled oarsmen are not easily found now days among apprentices
Watching the river in January
On the first really cold January evening I spotted a flotilla of canoes hugging the far shore identified only by flickering navigational lights with the mass of Manhattan-style skyscrapers of Canary Wharf. Hardy sportsmen can be seen out on the Thames tideway gliding up with the tide, their instructors herding them along just like sheep. My son Ben – a member of the Curlew Club – rows on the bleak Royal Docks on Saturday mornings where once his uncle John – a mate with Royal Mail Line ship Loch Ryan – unloaded frozen meat from Buenos Aires!! (As I write, a telephone flood warning warns of an extra high tide!)
Earlier in the month Richard Albenese of Trinity Buoy Wharf spoke to the Greenwich Industrial History society about the fate of many historic vessels such as SS Robin which was built close by at Orchard House Yard; she now lies on a pontoon isolated in the Royals. Other historic vessels can be seen at Trinity buoy Wharf, and further mooring space is sought for other endangered ships, perhaps in nearby East India Dock Basin close by which could indeed become a national centre. This once-isolated ship building wharf is now home for the arts and is well worth visiting.
I have been know to drive the family to Trinity Buoy Wharf to the American Diner for breakfast and then explore the lighthouse and lightship, open studios and other historic craft gathered there.
A ferry from the O2 pier set amongst the lofty residential blocks with dramatic views up and down stream might appeal (10mns to North Greenwich Underground). The speedy Thames Clippers are based here too! The DLR also provides a passing glimpse for fair weather travellers around Canning Town.
Dog Days along the River
Those few days that seem to last for ever after the hype of Christmas and the New Year – a period marked by lethargy, inactivity and/or indolence, teetering on the brink of torpor of the tropics!! Get stirring, Kent!! However, just the occasional tripper boat hoots its way to and from Greenwich Pier; the occasional forlorn sculler keeps a wary eye out for the odd incoming luxury launch. Slick streamlining defines its purpose inbound from the Solent for a few days' jolly up at St. Katherines Haven by the Tower prior to reporting for duty at the Boat Show held annually at Excel in early January. Memories of the Earls Court Boat Show with flowing Guiness and shell fish consumed in quantity by hearty yachties greeting their chums in these hallowed halls.
Meanwhile the working fleets of lighters are towed through the capital which still requires their constant care, removing the seasonal excess to landfill and process plants towards the estuary. As ever, lofty cranes perched high above massive building sites await the labour force to return from their new year breaks, scattered around their Brexit-land family homes, returning in trepidation of whatever their politicians thrash out.
Welcome callers include the maritime academic Brian Lavery from his new Sussex home – which reminds me of a New Year resolution to illustrate the King's Yard at Deptford as viewed from John Evelyn's house and estate. His enthusiasm has fired me up to prepare some sketches based on his research while here at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. Believe it or not, I have a distant aspect upstream of the shipyard from my studio window which, once known as Convoys Newsprint Wharf, is due for a massive redevelopment, so I ought to look lively before the 'Olympia' ship building sheds disappear from view.
New Year burst in with asunder as the first of the thousands of fireworks crash and roar through the skyways over the capital and its new, high rise structures. Even from our own deck, where a generous guest lashed out on a major rocket soaring high above, scaring the living daylights out of the seagull population climbing for safety, their white silhouettes formed by a snooping micro light relaying our special air space to one and all of the revellers on terra firma.
A festive Newsletter for one and all of my blog readers
It is very fitting to summarise this last year on the Tideway as one of the busiest.
The Port of London has come second in the UK's register – remember that this year the upper reaches have been revitalised by massive new infrastructure – London Tideway super sewer has demanded new tugs and barges to handle the tunnelling spoil and supply steel work to construct new structures into the tidal Thames – introducing new plant into the 'bridgeheads' of the numerous tunnels which are coming on at a pace.
Downstream new wharves and terminals are springing into action to handle, not only the global container trade, but also bulks and liquids into new storage and distribution facilities up and down the Essex and Kent shores. New cross river transport links are planned downstream from Gravesend and Tilbury – new ferries and ramps for the Woolwich Ferry and even a road link from Greenwich Peninsula across to the Royal – something desperately needs to happen as existing infrastructure grinds to a halt – it took Judy and me three and a half hours to travel by bus from London Bridge to Canada Water then on to our house in East Greenwich – which is becoming ever more congested as massive housing schemes plus a huge new IKEA store opens in the new year.
Both banks of the tideway and all of Canada Wharf and the Royals are groaning under over development fostered by the new through trains and the promise of a DLR extension into Barking including new maritime facilities by the ever-growing Thames Clipper Fleet.
Meanwhile the Greenwich riverside embankment had to be reinforced in front of the ORNC and along the historic frontage of Trinity Hospital.
Dare we say it but we breathed a sigh of relief as our small Thameside decking received a clear bill of health in spite of the speedy Thames clippers pounding past early morning to late night.
A very exciting jolly on board Livetts 'Elizabethan' was splendid as we motored upstream from Tower Bridge to Battersea and back giving us a wonderful sunny cruise along the redeveloped South Bank with its new US Embassy and the massive construction around Battersea Power Station. Through the years we have regularly cruised in comfort on the stern wheeler with excellent catering from a Greenwich kitchen. She has been in the fleet for many years upgraded with style – we even held Ben and Venetia's wedding reception on board. She was built originally for Branson at an East Greenwich yard and has had loving care throughout the years!!
Riverwatch explores the lower pool
A regular visitor to the Thames was anticipated by my photographer friend based in Gravesend – he came up to town and climbed the lofty Monument in order to capture 'Brasil' as she negotiated through Tower Bridge. Rob Powell shares my enthusiasm for the Thames and showed me his published work in Warships International Fleet Review. With great delight, I spotted the lofty construction of the Tideway giant shed over the tunnel bore at Bermondsey's Chambers Wharf which is designed to shelter the tunnelling team building London's super sewer. By chance I met one of the engineers at the site just a week ago who explained that local residents need sound protection over a lengthy period.
Memories of the Brunel Thames Tunnel exhibition which I helped set up – provides a fascinating insight into tunnel making which is relevant again!
Again by chance, I took advantage of the fine weather in early November to return to my favourite riverside hamlet – Rotherhithe – to savour its delights and to take coffee in its church side park.
I heard through the grapevine that Rotherhithe's historic riverfront is to be featured in a 'flood' lighting bonanza – highlighting Mayflower 400 celebrations in Rotherhithe 2020
(There is a crowdfunding campaign running in Rotherhithe, to acknowledge and commemorate Rotherhithe's key role in the Mayflower story.)
I wonder if it is the same "Mayflower" project that I spotted in a shipyard in the Port of Harwich station yard where the Rail Ferry to Belgium used to run. Nowadays Trinity house, the lighthouse and navigational folk have a brand-new wharf and depot operating from part of the ex-ferry site.
Likewise, here in Greenwich contractors have closed the Thames Path in order to renovate an historic river wall at Greenwich's Trinity Hospital – no doubt we are in for an early morning reveille.

When it comes to measuring an a bank's financial stability, capital is useful. It acts as a cushion against losses and as protection for depositors during periods of financial instability for the bank. When looking at safety and soundness, more capital is better.
VALOR BANK received a score of 8 out of a possible 30 points on our test to measure capital adequacy, lower than the national average of 13.13.
One widely followed measure of this buffer is a bank's Tier 1 capital ratio. VALOR BANK's Tier 1 capital ratio was 10.39 percent, above the 6 percent level regulators consider adequate, but below the national average of 25.65 percent. The higher the capital ratio, the better the bank will be able to stand up to economic headwinds.
Overall, VALOR BANK held equity amounting to 8.34 percent of its assets, which was lower than the national average of 12.03 percent.
This test's purpose is to try to understand how the bank's loan loss reserves and overall capitalization could be affected by troubled assets, such as past-due loans.
A bank with lots of these kinds of assets could eventually have to use capital to cover losses, reducing its equity buffer. Many of those assets are also likely to be in non-accrual status and thus aren't earning interest for the bank, pushing down earnings and elevating the risk of a failure in the future.
VALOR BANK scored 40 out of a possible 40 points on Bankrate's test of asset quality, beating out the national average of 37.49.
The percentage of problem assets a bank holds compared to its total assets is a helpful indicator of asset quality.As of December 31, 2017, 0.13 percent of VALOR BANK's loans were noncurrent, meaning they were more than 90 days past due or were in non-accrual status. That's below the national average of 1.01 percent.
Banks maintain a reserve known as an "allowance for loan and lease losses" to deal with problem assets . The size of that reserve can be a widely used indicator when evaluating a bank's ability to manage problem assets, especially when compared to the total amount of at-risk loans. Unfortunately, the FDIC did not provide information on VALOR BANK's loan loss allowance in its most recent filings.
How profitable a bank is has an effect on its long-term survivability. A bank can retain its earnings, giving a boost to its capital cushion, or put them to work addressing problematic loans, potentially making the bank better able to withstand financial trouble. Banks that are losing money, however, are less able to do those things.
On Bankrate's earnings test, VALOR BANK scored 18 out of a possible 30, better than the national average of 15.12.
One key measure of a bank's earnings is return on equity, or net income (profit, basically) divided by total equity. The most recent annualized quarterly return on equity for VALOR BANK was 10.07 percent, above the national average of 8.10 percent.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the bank reported net income of $508,000 on total equity of $6.0 million. The bank had an annualized return on average assets, or ROA, of 0.84 percent, below the 1 percent deemed satisfactory in accordance with industry standards and below the average for U.S. banks of 1.00 percent.
Bankrate.com's Safe & Sound Ratings provide a star rating system to evaluate the current financial status of financial institutions. The information gathered about banks, credit unions and thrifts is updated as set forth in the Terms of Use of Safe & Sound Ratings and Reports. The Safe & Sound Ratings information is grouped by categories of banks, thrifts and credit unions.
Bankrate.com evaluates the financial condition of institutions and assigns a one- to five-star rating for each with five stars representing the highest rating. Institutions with satisfactory performance will generally receive a rating of three or more stars. The majority of institutions fall into the three- to four-star range. An institution with an "NR" rating may be too new to rate or may have limited the publicly available information in their regulatory filings. The "NR" is not an indication of financial strength or weakness. The Safe & Sound rating is believed to be reliable, but the information is not guaranteed. In addition, events since the information was collected may have altered the institution's financial condition.

You will be purchasing great quality, great looking kid bedroom sets that you both such as. When picking the children bedroom sets you have to think about the number of years you want it to last. Exactly what they might have liked as a little kid they are unlikely to delight in as a teenager.
Fortunately is that these pads are available practically anywhere beds are offered and certainly there is a big choice online. Just choose one out that matches the size of your bed and you're excellent to go. They're simple to use. If you can make your bed (and assuming you don't still deal with your mom you probably can) then you can use a pad. It just sits on top of your current mattress and is held securely in location by your fitted sheet. Exactly what could be much easier?
Having bedroom sets that are inadequately made in a bedroom will only make it look unappealing. How can anyone be expected to unwind and recharge in a bedroom that is inferior looking with a bedroom set that appears careless? Bedroom sets that are well-constructed can make the space a genuine haven which a lot of tired, active people need.
An additional complaint shat some consumers have is of air pumps that are defective on their Select Comfort beds. There have been some complaints on the Consumer Affairs website about this and that replacement pumps that were sent to them didn't work either. Select Comfort offers a twenty year warranty on their beds. However, what many consumers don't recognize is that this warranty is just a 100 percent or the first two years. It becomes a guarantee that is prorated and the client should pay what sometimes can become a large section of the costs after two years. It can become rather costly if you need to replace the air pumps very typically. It wouldn't be so bad if all of the workers explained this to their consumers. Numerous consumers grumble that the twenty year warranty is explained to them as an all of the parts will be changed at no cost to you warranty. Some consumers report that the wording on the warranty had not been evident to them, although the documents clearly reveals the warranty policy.
Embellishing and purchasing furniture for a bedroom is maybe the most crucial area in a house that property owners must concentrate on. After all, the bedroom is probably the single space in a house that all property owners will spend a great deal of time in. Lots of people claim they do not understand the best ways to cook, while some individuals would prefer to entertain visitors outside on their patio or grass, so they may not spend much time in their cooking area or dining rooms. However, almost everybody spends a minimum of 6 hours of sleeping time in the bedroom.
Whoever stated that bedroom sets had to cost a terrific offer of cash to be comfortable or appealing need to have profited from a well understood name brand furniture designer looking to make a buck. You can discover economical bedroom sets all over the location, many of which are perfect imitations of some of the more pricey designs, without having to look hard. Embellishing your personal with price cut bedroom sets is made basic by online stores that wrap the entire set into one bundle offer.

Philip José Farmer made Drummond one of the central characters of his Wold Newton Family in Tarzan Alive (his father is given as one Roger Drummond). Notably, Drummond is listed as the biological brother of Korak.
The Bulldog Drummond novels are often accused of racist content. It is interesting to note that the later novels, written by Gerard Fairlie after Sapper's death, feature a much more liberal Drummond congnisant of his earlier distasteful behaviour - Fairlie, although he himself always denied it, was the man whom Sapper stated was the 'real' Bulldog Drummond.
In Tarzan Alive, Farmer indicated that only the first of Fairlie's run of novels was acceptable as part of Sapper's original canon, although by Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life he appears to have relented and accepted the validity of further books in the series.
Wold Newton scholar Brad Mengel, in his article The Daring Drummonds, argues that Drummond and his wife Phyllis were likely the parents of the version of the rather different Bulldog Drummond who featured in the 1960s movies Deadlier than the Male and Some Girls Do, and of Roger Drummond whose son also features in the film series.

I have recently installed 4 Yealink Phones (varying models - x2 T20, x1 T46, T26) they have been great when they are working, however they seem to drop the registration overnight. I have tried a couple of fixes but nothing seems to help. So far I have:
- Upgraded the firmware
- Disabled SIP ALG
- Tried different ports (5060, 50600 & 5061)
- Changed server registration interval to 180
Other information that might be useful is that the router is a draytek 2710. The phones are acquiring an IP address from the DHCP server rather than a static IP.
