Who designed the Advent Prodigy Tower Speakers?
The advent prodigy speaker was designed by Bob Steiert, The advent sheilded prodigy tower speaker was designed by Bob Zurek, and the advent prodigy tower II speaker was designed by Mike Dzurisin (sorry if I hacked your name Mike) The first prodigy tower was a cabinet only change of the prodigy so the drivers, crossover, and acoustic volume remained the same(I believe the cabinet redesign to the tower form factor was either done by Bob Steiert or Jack Powell). I hope this helps but I can't imagine why anyone would really care who designed them. I hope you are still enjoying them.

What is the longest street in London?
According to a BBC article (see link below), it's Rotherhithe Street. But Rotherhithe Street is about 1.5 miles long, so that seems unlikely. In the north of London Green Lanes stretches from Newington Green in Stoke Newington N16 all the way up to its junction with Ridge Avenue in Winchmore Hill, N21. At a distance of about 7.5 miles, this makes it a candidate for the longest street. However, in the relatively recent past the stretch that runs through Wood Green has come to be known as High Street, only resuming the Green Lanes name at the borough boundary between Enfield & Haringey. The stretch of Green Lanes from Newington Green up to the point when it becomes High Road for a while measures 3.2 miles. So, even that part is longer than Rotherhithe Street.

The tower of London is quite tall above the water below. It has lots of windows on each side of the towers. There is two towers, one for each side of the bridge to lift up for the boats passing by. It looks slightly christian because of the four crosses on the top of the towers. The top of the tower looks a bit like a castle because of the points on it. And finally it has two English flags in the middle of both towers, spread apart equaly. So that's what the London bridge looks like, from describing it!
