What is one to make of this confection? It is really quite quirky. The balustrade wall is a rare accompaniment to stone cladding. The gate posts are tall and slender, and have been created at the opposite end from the front door . The darker clading inbetween floors mimics the moulded features of the original house, seen on its neighbours and precludes any random use of colour elsewhere in the cladding. The use of a sea green banding beneath the guttering is baffling. Windows are replacements in a faux Georgian style.

Schmaltzy to the extreme, Fifties Hollywood with a vengeance, and a wholly sanitized depiction of WW II Lite (or was it...?), it's still my favorite Christmas movie. Though I used one of my standard pinup bodies and faces on "Dark December", I didn't want her scantily-clad because of the seriousness of the sentiment. "White Christmas", though, so trivializes it all that I don't think my little bimbos could possibly make it worse.
But, like I wondered above, did "White Christmas" completely whitewash the war?
The patch on the combat cutie's shoulder is that of the 36th Infantry Division, Texas National Guard. I did that for two reasons. First, I'm a native Texan, so state pride played a part, but, more importantly, I've always wondered if there was a connection between the 36th and this movie.
In the movie, tough but avuncular General Tom Waverly is relieved of command by a by-the-book stickler and later, when they discover he's fallen on hard times, guys from his old outfit pitch in to help him out. Bing Crosby's Bob Wallace makes mention of Anzio and a visit by Mark Clark, so you know the outfit served in Italy and southern France.
Tough but avuncular General Fred L. Walker was relieved of command of the 36th ID after it suffered horrendous casualties in an ill-advised attempt to cross the Rapido River and outflank Monte Cassino--an attack Walker protested vigorously and led reluctanly, knowing only a miracle could have saved it from being a disaster. There was predjudice against National Guard units on the part of the Regular Army, and though he was a regular himself, Walker was thought to have been "too soft" on his National Guard officers (in other words, he wasn't firing them to make slots for regulars). There were always rumors that the attack and his relief from command were the West Pointers' vengeance for his heresy. After the war, a number of former officers who had become prominent in civilian life, in an effort to redeem Walker's reputation, forced a Congressional investigation into the Rapido assault.
I've never read or heard anything that would lead me to believe the writers of this movie were influenced by the story of General Walker and the 36th, but I've always wondered if they might not have drawn a bit of inspiration from it.

Unused cladding holes on the facade of the Pennsylvania Avenue NW side of the J. Edgar Hoover Building in Washington, D.C.
The Hoover Building is located at 935 Pennsylvania Avenue NW and is the headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Planning for the building began in 1962, and a site formally selected in January 1963. Design work began in 1963 and was largely complete by 1964. Ground was broken in March 1965, and it was complete in September 1975. Its cost doubled from $60 million to $120.1 million. Tt has been widely condemned on aesthetic and urban planning grounds, and called "the ugliest building in D.C."
The building is in the Brutalist style. Brutalism is derived from the French term "beton brut" -- or "raw concrete". By the 1950s, advances in concrete construction meant that concrete did not need to be polished or clad in some other material in order to look good.
The Hoover Building was intended to be clad in polished granite, but the soaring costs of the structure led to the cancellation of this plan. But the holes in the facade were already there.
Fine stone cladding, fine net curtains. Excellent monochrome work, nicely covering decorative yellow and red brickwork as seen either side. Original window apertures have been retained and sash-effect replacement windows installed which look quite acceptable. The door, on the other hand...
The wall is quite disappointing.

Private 5 acre estate with efficient custom home – For Sale By Owner: $998,000
In the mountains just mauka of the heart of Kona Town you find nestled a small arts community called Holualoa…There’s not much to Holualoa, a blink of the eye your past it driving by the Pink Kona Hotel built in 1926 (http://www.city-data.com/picfilesc/picc5136.php), or our small post office saying Aloha to Joy or Tom the Post Master…or quite simply going to the old movie theater on Saturday night for free. And let’s not forget our excellent Holualoa Elementary School built in 1897…this is “our” little piece of heaven away from the hustle and bustle of the world’s problems.
Hualalai Farms is a gated community with mostly 5 acre parcels of world famous “Kona Coffee”. And it is good! We’re an old community by most standards up here with a fine group of quiet folks that enjoy the peaceful life of gentlemen farmers, waving to one another as we pass on the road.
My journey led me here in 1989, but it’s time to move on to a new adventure, and my little piece of solitude is available for sale. I moved into this house which I built for my family in February of 2009. For all intents and purposes it’s new. I haven’t ripped out the old Ohia trees with their beautiful Lahua Blossoms. I enjoy the privacy, and watching the sun rise over Mauna Loa in the mornings, and the cruise ships passing by below.
I designed this home and property to be efficient with low maintenance, but additional growth or changes are easy to do. If you think you’d be interested in my slice of the world then by all means email me. I’d be more than happy to call you if you forward your telephone number. If you have SKYPE on your computer we can even walk around the house and property.

A natty little porch with sloping roof has been built to remove any trace of the rounded arch with keystone (as next door) The natural choice of finish is stone cladding. Some of the mortar is a bit messy. One can't fault the wonderful pebbledash which masks the yellow brick with red banding. Mid to late 1880s I guess. The stock brick wall belongs to next door, but provides contrapuntal interest.

Product Description
CCS wire is also known as "CP" wire, high-class and low-Carbon steel is chose as core, clad by non-oxygenic pure copper evenly by mechanical method, then plated by pure Tin. Due to the high purity of layers, the copper layer and tin layer are combined close-grainedly. Ccs wire can be sorted to annealed(A) and hard(H).
Tinned CCS wire combines the high electricity conductivity & magneto conductivity of Copper, high strength of steel and thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance of tin, has oxidation resistance at high temperature. Since its superior strength and weldability, resistance to bending, firm welding point, its anti-vibration up to 3-6 times of pure copper wire, easy to automate.
Application:
This wire is widely used for lead wire & jumper wire of electronic components, core of RF cable, it has become a perfect wire of communication, electronics and electric power industry.
Altro Whiterock durable, impact resistant and hygienic wall cladding great for healthcare, commercial kitchens, wet environments and as wall protection in areas with heavy traffic.
