In December of 1862, the Union marched 122,000 troops in to Fredericksburg under the command of the incompetent General Burnside who held command of the Fighting 69th regiment. At midmorning Burnside ordered General Thomas Meagher to his command post and ordered Meaghers Irishmen to flush the confederate sharpshooters from an impregnable position called Mayres ridge and from the few houses that surrounded it. Burnside was specific in his orders.
The Irishmen were to make a frontal assault on the position. The Brigade attacked the position twenty times and was pushed back each time until five regiments of men were reduced to 200 wounded souls. Burnside suicide order cost him his command.
Robert E. Lee wrote "Never were men so brave. They ennobled their race by their splendid gallantry on that desperate occasion. through totally routed, they reaped the harvest of glory. Their brilliant, though hopeless assaults on our lines excited the hearty applause of our officers and soldiers .
The highest compliment for their bravery, oddly enough, came from a war correspondent for the London Times. "After witnessing the gallantry and devotion exhibited by these men, viewing the hillsides for acres strewn with their corpses thick as autumn leaves, this spectator can remember nothing but their desperate courage. Their bodies fell but 40 yards of their object, the best evidence of what manner of men they were who pressed on to death with the dauntlessness of a race which was gained glory on a thousand battlefields, and never more richly deserved it then at the foot of Mayres ridge on the 13th day of December, 1862"
Fair Oaks
At the Battle of Fair Oaks, (Henrico County Virginia) the Unions lines retreated in disarray and confusion. Entire regiments turned and ran from the poorly armed, but better organized Confederates. In an effort to stop the retreat General Edwin Sumner rode up to the New York fighting 69th and "In what was probably the only speech of his life" as his aid put it and bellowed "You Irishmen are our last hope.if you fail, we are lost.but I'll go my stars on you boys, I want to see how Irishmen fight, and when you run, by God, I'll run too!" "They responded with a hearty cheer," wrote Captain Field of the US Artillery "the Irish moved into position with the air of men who were going to stay. A fresh crash (of cannon fire) showed when the struck at the enemy. For a few minutes the fire was deafening then it began to retire. The yells gave way to long continuous cheers, an aid galloped up to order a section of artillery to follow the advancing line of Irishmen the battle of Fair Oaks was won. It was an inspiriting opening of a heroic history and from that day on General Sumner swore by "his Irishmen"
Robert Kelly
To Hollywood and most of the rest of the world it was John Kennedy's exploits in the South Pacific aboard his ill fated PT boat 109 that brought the tiny motor Torpedo boat to national attention, however to scores of war buffs the true hero of the south Pacific PT action was New York born Irish American named Robert B. Kelly. Captain Kelly was the executive officer of the now famed PT boat squadron 3.
It was Kelly, who lived most of his life around the DC area, and his men who risked life and limb to evacuate Douglas MacArthur, his family and Staff from the Japanese Navy infested waters of Corregidor Island in the dark of night. Kelly was awarded the Silver Star for his bravery and was given command of squadron 3 which included Lt. J.G John Kennedy.
Shortly after taking command, Kelly was again cited for bravery in action and awarded a second silver star and still later the Navy Cross for heroism in combat when his PT boat attacked and sank a Japanese light cruiser that had been protecting four other enemy destroyers. Kelly managed to sink the cruiser with two torpedos from a firing range of 300 feet. The following morning, with only one of his four guns working, five dead crewmen, and taking in water from a six foot hole in his hull from a Japanese shell, Kelly managed to fight off attacks by enemy dive bombers, eventually bringing his remaining crew back to safety. His dare devil actions brought home a few bright moments to a war weary American public. Kelly's action were later made in to the film "They Were Expendable" starring John Wayne
James Fair
Senator James Fair of Nevada arrived in Washington as a newly elected member of the Senate in 1880 and with him began the long tradition of this cities big name, big dollar scandals. A humorless, egotistical man, Fair was one of the four Irishmen to stick it rich in the mines of Nevada in March of 1873. Fair and his Partners, by the way, were financed in their efforts to strike Gold by a Northern Virginia Irishmen named James Walker who called their new venture The Virginia Mining Company. For some reason Walker later sold his share of the company to the others for the paltry sum of $100,000.00 dollars and returned home to Virginia. The mine that the Virginia company hit would eventually deliver in access of 190,000,000.00 dollars in Gold, Silver and other precious metals. Armed with his new fortune Fair and his wife, and their three daughters crashed the gates of polite east coast society in the early 1880's.
A short time later, at his wife's behest for a permanent social position Fair ran for, and won the Senate seat from Nevada. But Fair quickly tired of the slow pace of the Senate and busied himself with the cities Nightlife. In fact he busied himself enough with it that three years after his arrival to Washington, his wife filed for divorce on the then almost unheard of and scandalous grounds of Habitual Adultery giving Fair the odd distinction of being first member of Congress to be charged on those grounds.
The jury agreed with Mrs Fair and awarded her a settlement of five million dollars, which was, for years, the largest divorce settlement in the history of the United States. Even so, the award was only a mere fraction of Fairs estate which included forty million dollars in cash, two railroads, a bank, and several thousand rentable properties across the country that netted him $250,000.00 a month. When he died in 1894 leaving no less then 12 Women claiming to have been his lawfully wedded wife. "The Blarney of his race" wrote the San Francisco Chronicle "had not been omitted from his makeup, when it suited his purpose, his compliments could charm a robin off a fence."
Fairs presence in Washington as an outrageously rich and lucky Irishmen was soon filled by Thomas F. Walsh who had also struck it rich in the now famous Motherlode in Colorado in 1896. Walsh moved to Washington in 1903 and built his outrageous Mansion at 2020 Massachusetts Avenue N.W, with its 60 rooms for the then on heard of price of $835,000.00 dollars, or roughly 80 million times the average Washingtonians salary at that time. The mansion now houses the Indonesian Embassy. Walsh's daughter, Evelyn, married Washington Post owner Edward Beale Mclean and moved to his no less conspicuous estate called McLean gardens which covered most of upper Wisconsin Avenue and included a private zoo.

Daniel Dulany
(1685 1753), Born in Ireland, Dulany arrived in Maryland as an indentured servant in 1703. After gaining his freedom, he won admission to the Maryland bar (1710) and eventually became a judge, attorney general of the province, a member of the legislature (1722 -1742) and of the Governor s Council (1742 -1753) He championed the Colonial cause in his pamphlet "The Rights of the Inhabitants of Maryland to the Benefit of English Laws" (1728). His son, Daniel (1722 1797), was secretary of the province of Maryland (1761 1774) and a leading opponent of the Stamp Act.
The Carrolls
Of the early Colonial settlers, perhaps none is more impressive then the Fabulous Carrol's of Maryland. Wealthy even in Europe, the Carrol's arrived in the American Colonies under the patronage of King James the Second. The prospered quickly and became one of Marylands original 18 land owning families as well as one of the largest real estate holders in the new world. They named most of their properties with the same name they had held in Ireland.
Charles Carrol was not only Maryland's delegate to the Constitutional Convention to sign the Declaration of Independence, he was also its only Catholic signature and the last to die, at age 92 in 1832.
Charles Carrol's Daughter, Mrs .Richard Caton, of Catonsville Maryland was the first Grand Dame of American society. Her three daughters, called the three Graces, became, respectively, the Duchess of Leeds, the Marchioness of Wellesy and the Baroness of Stafford.
Cousin David Carrol was a millionaire in his own right as well as Maryland's second largest land holder and was the States delegate to the first Constitutional Congress. His land holding by the way, included the grounds that the Capitol stands on today. And his home in Baltimore was said to be the finest in Colonial America.
John Carrol would become Americas and Baltimore's first Catholic Bishop. Included in his nationwide Domain were 50 Priests and 5 Nuns. An unabashed patriot, Bishop Carrol chastised his fellow Irish Americans for what he saw as their less then enthusiastic acceptance of the New Republic and implored them to sign written loyalty statements to the United States, an act he was widely critized for. During the war, he and Benjamin Franklin embarked on the dangerous and failed plan to recruit French Canadian Catholics into the Colonist cause for freedom.
At the Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest day of the Civil war In eight hours 23,000 men would lay dead or wounded. Captain Edwin Field wrote:
"It was their crowning glory (The Irishmen had forced the enemy back beyond a sunken road) which had been filled with corpses by an enfilading fire from one of our batter¬ies and presented one of the most ghastly spectacles of war.
Using this lane as a breastwork, they held it to the close of the fight, losing not a prisoner, having not one straggler, but at a loss of life that was appalling.
One Irish regiment lost nearly 50% of it men, another over thirty per cent. the rebels seemed to have a special spite against the green flag, and five color bearers were shot down successively in a short time.
As the last man fell even these Irishmen hesitated a moment to assume a task synonymous with death.
"Big Gleason" Captain of the sixty third, six feet seven, sprang forward and snatched it up. In a few minutes a bullet struck the staff, shattering it to pieces; Gleason tore the flag from the broken staff, wrapped it around his body, putting his sword belt over it, and went through the rest of the fight untouched. At the brow of the hill the fighting was the severest and most deadly ever witnessed before, so acknowledged by veterans in the service.
Men on both sides fell in large numbers and those who were eye witness to the struggle did not think it possible for a single man to escape. The enemy here first, were concealed behind a knoll, so that only their heads were exposed. The brigade advanced up the hill with a cheer, when a most deadly fire was poured in by a second line of the enemy con¬cealed in the Sharpsb¬urg road, which at this place is several feet lower than the surrounding sur¬face, forming a complete rifle pit and also from a force partially concealed still further to the rear.
The line of the brigade, in its advance up the hill, was broken in the center temporarily by an obstruction the right wing having advanced to keep up with the colors, and fell back a short distance, when General Meagher directed that a rail fence - which the enemy only a few minutes before had been fighting behind- be torn down.
His men, in the face of a galling fire, obeyed the order, when the whole brigade advanced to the brow of the hill, cheering as they went, and causing the enemy to fall back to their second line- which is some three feet lower than the surrounding surface. In this road were massed a large force of infantry and here was the most hotly contested point of the day.
Each brigade of this division was brought into action at this point, and the struggle was truly terrific for more than four hours-the enemy finally however, were forced from their position. The Brigade suffered terribly. General Meagher horse was shot out from under him, and a bullet passed through his clothes. The sixty third regiment of this brigade, always conspic¬uous for deeds of daring in battle, was particu¬larly so in the battle of Antietam.
The colors were shot down sixteen times and on each occasion a man was ready to spring forward and place the colors in front. John Hartigan, a member of company H, and only 16 years old, went some distance in advance of the regiment with the colors and waved them defiant¬ly in the face of the enemy. The whole Brigade gave a cheer that was heard along the lines for a mile, when it advanced up the rising ground and drove the enemy from a strong position"
Swampoodle (It was actually called swamp-puddle and became swamp-poodle and is now written as a one word) was a small section of the city that was mostly behind the Union Station along the H Street neighborhood in Northeast D.C. and was home, in the 1850s, to mostly famine Irish immigrants fleeing.
The actual borders would have been K Street to the north, G Street to the south, 1st Street NW to the west, and 2nd Street NE to the east. Its center was just east of North Capitol Street, where a large branch of the Tiber Creek ran, creating the low swampy ground from which the area took its name. The name appeared in print when a reporter covering the dedication of St. Aloysius Church in 159, (Then at North Capitol and I streets) noted that the area around the church was dotted with "swamps and puddles
At the very far end of the neighborhood was Schott's Alley which was in back of where the new Russell Senate Office Building is today. The alley was home to 220 people, most of them fruit vendors. On the walls of one shack that housed a restaurant, the owner regularly painted his thoughts about current events on the outside walls.
Swampoodle, its main street was a place called Jackson's alley, which was actually a large wide street, was little more than a rough, shanty town that housed the citys poorest day laborers. Sstreet gangs were a problem, with the Irish gang being led by a fellow named Doggie McGraw. Most of the homes were dilapidated brick or wood dwellings built in a hurry to house emancipated slaves after the Civil War. Almost all of the houses had dirt floors, no water, heat or lights and sewers didn't run into that part of the city. Usually two or families shared a house that was no more than four rooms.
A local doctor who took congressmen on tours of the alleys in efort to clean the area up. Along the way, he flung open an outhouse door and said "Gentlemen, these flies are the same ones that come in your open window and land on your sandwich while you're having lunch on Capitol Hill"
It was said to be a hot-bed of Secessionist sentiment during the civil war and it probably didn't help that the federal government took their church.
Swampoodle was one of the citys precincts, the others were The Navy Yard, Capital Hill, the Northern Liberties and an area called The Islands. Swampoodle's resident political boss was a man named TC Murray.
On September 9, 1862, three years after St. Aloysius was built on the edge of swampoodle, the District of Columbia's military governor made a requisition to use the church as a military hospital. The pastor in charge, a Father Wiget offered to build a hospital on K Street just north of the church. The 250-bed hospital was constructed by parishioners in only eight days. In appreciation, the hospital was named St. Aloysius to honor the Church.
Swampoodle was the home of the Swampoodle Grounds, (or Swampoodle park or Capital Park Grounds ) home of the Washington Statesmens baseball club from 1886 to 1889. (The team folded that year, they finished last place three times in four seasons) The park could hold up to 6,000 spectators and had a tower in the outfield that was about 20 feet high. The team was part of the National League. The right field and the infield are now part of Union Station and the far left field is now under the Main Post Office and Columbus Circle.
In 1869, Irish immigrant Thomas Allen lived in a wood-frame house at 316 H St. NE, which he built of wood.(Woood-frame structures were banned in 1874 in the District to make way for sturdier, metal frame and brick structures.) The chairman of the Stanton Park Historical Preservation Society said "Timothy Allen was one of those immigrants, who built his home at 316 H Street, first as a residence and later using the lower level as a grocery store while continuing to live upstairs"
Some of the boys from Swampoodle did well for themselves. There was the writers Bob Considine and Vincent Flathery and Thomas Aquinas Flannery, who served for more than 30 years as a U.S. District Court judge in Washington. He was appointed to the bench in 1971 by President Richard M. Nixon and over saw several major cases. A Gonzaga graduate (He grew up less than a block away from the school) The son of a carpenter graduated in 1940 from Columbus University Law School, now part of Catholic University.
Gonzaga College High School, (The nearby church, St. Aloysius and the school are named for St. Aloysius Gonzaga.) a legacy of the areas Irish settlers (So is the train station, since they built it.
When it was built, 1907, the Station covered more ground than any other building in the United States and was the largest train station in the world. ) was chartered by Congress in 1858, as a college empowered to confer degrees in the arts and sciences. (Its real name is Gonzaga College, Gonzaga no longer confers degrees, other than honorary doctoral degrees presented to commencement speakers) The school moved into the swamppoodle area , where it stands today, in 1871. Gonzaga benefited from Irish who lived in the dozens upon dozens of row houses in Swampoodle. Gonzaga is the oldest educational facility in the original federal city of Washington.
For twenty years, the school was led by Father Bernard J. Dooley who helped it rebound after the 1968 riots almost closed the school down. Dooley, a chain smoking , urbane Jesuit was assigned to the school in 1974, when enrollment had dropped to less than 400 and the school was in danger of closing. Three years later, he had built a gymnasium, the first construction in the neighborhood near Union Station since the 1968 riots. In 1988, he brought Nobel Peace Prize winner Mother Teresa to the school's graduation ceremony, where she gave out the diplomas.
The Union Station proposal was part of a bill to expand the Capitol grounds by purchasing the six blocks between the Capitol and the station. That move more or less ended the live of swampoodle. Oddly enough the Lincoln Memorial was almost buillt there before another location was found for it.
There are two other palces in the metro area known as swamp poodle. Swampoodle is also the name of a village a mile east of Hamilton, on old Route 7 in Loudoun County. The town of "Swamp" today known as Belvoir, was a village midway between The Plains and Marshall. The area in low land and took on the name that way.
Benjamin O'Rear
The village of Scuffleburg Virginia (Its in Fauquier County) was home to Benjamin O'Rear, who locals claim invented the threshing machine about 1825. He failed to patent it.
English Hill
Just northeast of what is today Judiciary Square was an area known as English Hill, (Sometime before 1820, an English family named Cook owned, most of the property, hence the name) Oddly enough, most of residents of English were Irish but it wasn't called Irish Hill because just south of the square was another area called Irish Hill in what is now the neighborhood between 3d, F and G streets NW. The Irish neighborhood was busted apart when tens of dozens of row houses were built in the area and housed the likes of Daniel Webster and John C. Calhoun.

No Future
Anyone who has listened to Future more than me in recent months probably has a nasty codeine habit. The Atlanta artist has overwhelmed his admirers with an avalanche of high-quality, opiate-laced music in 2017. My addiction is problematic. As a guy who recently reminded readers of his affinity for overtly Christian rappers, it's a blessing that I don't always comprehend Future's lyrics. Even so, mesmerizing tracks like "Feed Me Dope" from Future's new collaboration with Young Thug match my current mindset. The audaciously synthetic sound will almost certainly sound hopelessly dated in a year or two, but at this moment, I'm a hopeless fiend for Future.
I write weekly music previews for The Kansas City Star.
I named the MGDs the KCUR Band of the Week.
I put Changing the Tune: The Kansas City Women's Jazz Festival, 1978-1985 into context at Plastic Sax.
Muhal Richard Abrams has died. I'm horrified that I never heard the jazz giant perform. I need to get serious about checking the likes of Anthony Braxton, Henry Threadgill and James "Blood" Ulmer off my bucket list.
L'Orange's The Ordinary Man packs 16 tracks into 39 minutes. The ratio doesn't make for a fluid listening experience. Each track ends just as the groove begins to sink in. RIYL: spoken word samples, 9th Wonder, short attention spans.
I'm predictably elated by Kanye West's verse on CyHi's "Dat Side".
I overlooked Move Upstairs, the wondrous new album by the Como Mamas, when it was released several months ago. RIYL: Naomi Shelton & the Gospel Queens, salvation, the Staple Sisters. Here's "Count Your Blessings".

In response to: "Muhal Richard Abrams has died. I'm horrified that I never heard the jazz giant perform. I need to get serious about checking the likes of Anthony Braxton, Henry Threadgill and James "Blood" Ulmer off my bucket list."
Awesome that you mention Mr. Abrams, not to mention this list in general, because I am a big fan of them all, but when I mentioned Mr. Abrams passing to several people last week, everyone responded with "who...?" Quite unfortunate for a man of his caliber and accomplishments.
Not to rub salt in the wound, but I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Abrams just a few months ago when he performed with George Lewis & Roscoe Mitchell in Ojai CA. The entire performance can be found online. Having seen hundreds of jazz performances in my time, the show immediately leaped into my top three of all time.
I think your list is an important one (I've also seen Braxton and it was great), and as none of us get any younger, I'd also add Wadada Leo Smith to that list if you haven't already experienced him. That cat is strong on every performance and always has something nice to offer on every show.

Beginner Fishing
Fishing isn't the only reason to visit Treasure Cay beach, marina & Golf Resort but when you're here, it's a good bet it will be on the agenda. So if you've never learned to spin cast, or if you're traveling with young ones who have yet to hold a rod or reel, spend a day of learning with the best teachers on Abaco. They'll instruct you on the proper technique of spin casting and hand line drift fishing while teaching you a few tricks of their own. A few great options for an entire family of beginners.

What's Happening
November 17-25, 2006
San Francisco Opera: Performs Carmen & Manon Lescaut.
San Francisco Symphony: Performs Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony (Nov 15-18). Also a special screening of Charlie Chaplin's City Lights with musical accompaniment (Nov 22, 24, 25).
Compañia Tania Pérez-Salas. Sonically sensual, visually inventive and theatrically arresting, the dances of Mexico City choreographer Tania Pérez-Salas reframe how we think about Contemporary Latin American dance. This varied program offers a rich palette of experiences. Las Horas is playfully tongue-in-cheek rococco, Anabiosis has a sweaty, angular earthiness, while Visitor is dreamlike and sensuous.
ACT: The Little Foxes. Playwright, activist, lover, blacklisted screenwriter—Lillian Hellman, with her rabble-rousing life and work, continues to exert a captivating hold on American culture.
Aurora Theatre: The Ice Glen by Joan Ackermann.Called "funny, moving and witty" by Boston's Metroland, Ackermann's play offers an exuberant, humorous look at the connections between the worlds of art, society, and nature.
Berkeley Rep: Passing Strange. The heartfelt and hilarious story of a young bohemian who charts a course for "the real" through sex, drugs and rock and roll. Loaded with soulful lyrics and overflowing with passion, the show takes us from black, middle-class America to Amsterdam, Berlin and beyond on a journey towards personal and artistic authenticity.
Asian Art Museum: Hidden Meanings: Symbolism in Chinese Art. Symbolism abounds in the decorative arts of China, rendering clothing, personal adornment, and household objects rich with meaning. A gourd-shaped vase decorated with bats is more than just ornamental: it is a promising omen, as the gourd symbolizes fertility by virtue of its numerous seeds, and the imagery of bats implies the sentiment "blessings vast as the sky." By surrounding themselves with such symbols, many Chinese believed that wishes would be fulfilled. Pioneers of Philippine Art: Luna, Amorsolo, Zóbel. Featuring more than 30 paintings, this exhibition chronicles one hundred years of Philippine painting from the late 19th to the late 20th century in the works of three artists—Juan Luna (1857–1899), Fernando Amorsolo (1892–1972) and Fernando Zóbel (1924–1984).

The approximately 25 prints featured in this exhibition are recent additions to the Edward Ruscha Graphic Arts Archive, a signal body of work that was acquired by the Fine Arts Museums in 2000. The Quilts of Gee's Bend. Features a selection of more than 60 quilts made by four generations of African American women who inhabit a strip of land formed by a deep loop in the Alabama River, about thirty miles from Selma. Descended from slaves and isolated for decades by geography, poverty, and government indifference, the women of this community assembled quilts of astonishing artistry.
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art: Mexico as Muse: Tina Modotti and Edward Weston. For a few exhilarating years in the 1920s, two of the major figures in 20th-century photography, Tina Modotti and Edward Weston, shared a passionate partnership with each other. They also shared an intense romance with photography and with Mexico, where they lived together from 1923 to 1926. This exhibition includes some of the most significant photographs they made during their time in Mexico, pictures that count among the most memorable from each artist's career.
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts: Sensacional! Mexican Street Graphics. Celebrates the vernacular design of the comic books, flyers, posters and signs common in Mexico, where a rough, idiosyncratic beauty arises from a mom-and-pop street economy. The artisans are the sign-painting, lithographic tradespeople who work off the high-art grid, and serve as de facto ad agencies for auto repair shops, food vendors, and wrestling events.

I'm struggling to find a time when the bureaucrats and politicians struggled as much as they presently are when trying to define what exactly is happening to the Sydney property markets – please note that I have used plural as against the popular and misrepresented singular definition.
Australia's head cashier Joe Hockey is having an absolute shocker given he hails from a family that has a rich real estate heritage. For example, last week he stated that more houses were needed to fix the home affordability issue. "I like many others, if you have a home, if you're already there with a mortgage; you wonder how your children are going to get into it." Well Joe, for starters I would immediately slash the foreign buying policy where you allow 100 per cent of all new housing developments to be sold offshore to foreign buyers.
Then one week later announced that he "totally understands" housing in Sydney and Melbourne is expensive and advised first home buyers to "get a good job that pays good money. "If you go back 10 years first home buyers represented 10 per cent of the overall market – today they are struggling to record a 5 per cent market participation. The Sydney and Melbourne property markets are overwhelmingly being driven by property investors and foreign buyers.
The real truth of the matter is that the Coalition and ALP don't care about the buyers, or where they come from for that matter, this is all about strengthening the economy where real estate is now doing all the heavy lifting. The crux of the matter is that the property sector now contributes more to Australian gross domestic product (GDP) than mining. The property sector is estimated to generate 11.5 per cent of GDP, employs 1.1 million Australians and pays $72.1 billion in state, federal and local real estate taxes each year.
Then we have Australia's head teller Glenn Stevens pointing at another rate cut due to a weak economy given that the Australian economy is now weaker than forecast two years ago. In 2013 the projection was that the economy would be growing at a rate of 2.5 per cent to 4 per cent although by mid-2015 it will be lucky to post a growth rate of 2.5 per cent. Stevens also commented this week that he is concerned about Sydney's booming house prices – you see he used the term house although houses in certain parts of Sydney are not doing that well when compared to apartments.
Our research division has been recording some interesting Mosman 'house' sales.
- Stanley Avenue Mosman sold in 2010 for $12.000 and resold in 2015 for $12.300
- Coronation Avenue Mosman sold in 2012 for $4.200 and resold in 2015 for $4.125
- Botanic Road Mosman sold in 2013 for $2.750 and resold in 2014 for $2.550
- Parriwi Road (apartment) sold in 2010 for $1.050 and resold in 2014 for $1.010
- Parriwi Road (apartment) sold in 2010 for $2.250 and resold in 2014 for $2.150
- Bradleys Head Road sold in 2007 for $5.400 and resold in 2015 for $5.100
- Raglan Street Mosman sold in 2006 for $4.500 and resold in 2015 for $4.750
The problem is purely that house prices are bundled as against separating houses from apartments and investors from owner occupiers. Let's not start on what part the foreign buyers play in this equation given nobody has really bothered to measure this participation rate but I would add that it's huge and much, much higher than the federal government ever envisaged (when they do get around to looking).
Glenn Stevens was using the HSBC research that found Australian house prices had risen 24 per cent in the past three years, though the gains had been mostly confined to Sydney and Melbourne – so why then call this Australian house prices? Sydney had jumped 39 per cent and Melbourne prices were up 22 per cent bringing the average price growth for the rest of the country at 10 per cent.
The real problem Australia is facing is getting the economy stimulated and thus far all the monetary measures have been a dismal failure. Yet again, the problem is contained directly in Canberra and the refusal to implement reform so on that basis I can see where Glenn Stevens is coming from.
Cast your mind back to 2008 when Ken Henry presented the Henry Tax Review (the Rudd government held on to it until 2010) – we need to remember what Ken Henry said at the time "Ken Henry warns of looming taxation crisis", and said that need to change is urgent. In 2014, he warned that the Abbott government urgently needs a tax and welfare package to head off an imminent budget crisis.
Well we have a budget crisis and no tax reform and as Ken Henry put it "there will be a day of reckoning." One only has to ask a simple question – where would the Australian economy be today had the Henry Tax Review been implemented?
So what we have is politicians only interested in re – election so any thought of reform is immediately removed until we get hit with a major economic downturn. The Henry Tax Review was designed to drive the economy and therefore minimise the likelihood of another economic downturn as experienced with the Global Financial Crisis. Governments don't pay payroll tax however if you asked businesses what they would do with the savings if it were to be abolished – you would see a much different Australian economy than we are seeing presently.

What Are the Best Garden Games for a Garden Party?
Are you considering hosting a garden party? If you've never done so before, it can be a bit daunting to plan the festivities! How do you take the number of guests, the weather, and the entertainment into account? While it's easy to plan a menu and ensure you're your guests RSVP, it's quite a different task to tackle the entertainment. How do you make sure that you have all the proper equipment to host the event? But it isn't as difficult as you think. With a little bit of planning, you'll be able to throw a party to remember. Let's review the best garden games for your next garden party!
Always a classic, cornhole game sets are a safe choice to make when considering outdoor entertainment. They're simple to set up and they're cheap investments. Cornhole games can be played by anyone, young or old – making them perfect for parties where you have guests of varying physical capabilities. They're safe for children because the game's parts are generally soft cloth filled with beans or other lightweight materials; they're also easy to clean since they have no moving parts.
Other garden games that are appropriate for kids and young adults include ring toss sets, Frisbees and flying discs, or a limbo game. Limbo games are generally not ideal for older adults, but if your party is largely younger people, a limbo game is a great investment. Like most games for the garden, limbo sets are easy to install and dismantle, and they're simple to clean after the festivities are over.
Preparing for the Weather with a Canopy Tent
It's important to consider the time of day you're hosting your party. If you're hosting on a hot afternoon, invest in a canopy tent to keep guests cool. If the weather calls for light rain, be sure to set up some kind of respite from the moisture. There are a number of ways you can do this – canopies, tarps, open porches, or awnings. No matter how you choose to do it, your guests will appreciate the extra effort you put into keeping them comfortable and happy. You'll be asked to host another party in no time!
If you have games such as bouncy houses, volleyball, or sack racing, make sure you have plenty of room set aside to play comfortably. Trim your grass before the party help guests feel like they're playing on a professional gaming course.
Over the past few years garden games have become very popular with more and more toy and games manufacturers developing specifically for the garden. Giant games especially are huge now a days, obviously not actually made for giants or people over 8ft but just board games like ludo and chess and games like Jenga,Connect4, Skittles and croquet. These games are exactly the same but made with huge boards and pieces so you don't lose them on the grass and makes them much more fun to play with more people.
There are also lots of sport games that are made for the garden and back yard like basketball, golf, tennis, baseball and badminton. Or maybe your guests could join in a game of limbo and see who the most flexible out of you is. Just look around Amazon for example on their Sports and Outdoor Play section, there are heaps of choices to choose from to have a great garden party and get everyone having fun.
With a little bit of planning, you'll be able to host a garden party with the very best garden games available. Most games are affordable, easy to set up and take down, and simple to clean if they get dirty. Consider the weather when planning your party so you can be prepared for the best as well as the worst. Remember to pick games that are accessible to all of your guests – take age and physical ability into consideration. But most of all, be sure to have fun!

Oceana: Kelp forests under threat
As some of us are already aware, kelp is not only a nuisance when you want to bathe – but actually full of nutients. Unsustainable harvesting of kelp is however a threat to much of marine life. Many species rely on the kelp forests in the early stages of life. Oceana is currently on an expedition to map the marine life in the North Sea.
Kelp has been a source of nutrients, and a matter of survival for humans, for numerous years. It has mainly been used as a fertilizer in hand to mouth farming, but has been found to contain a lot of vital nutrients. The main importance is however it's role in the life cycle of many marine animals in the early stage of life. Current lack of regulations regarding the preservation of this habitat is a major threat to not only marine life, but to humanity itself.

YANKTON, S.D. | The presence of the invasive zebra mussel has been confirmed in Lake Yankton, according to the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.
The lake, also known as Cottonwood Lake, sits north of the Missouri River and below Gavins Point Dam near Yankton, S.D. The mussel has become established in Lewis and Clark Lake on the other side of the dam and in the river from the dam to the Kansas border.
The invasive species has also been found in McCook Lake near North Sioux City and in the Iowa Great Lakes region at Okoboji. The zebra mussel competes with native fish and mussels, clogs pipes, cuts swimmers' feet and will pile up on rocks, docks, swimming platforms and anything else in the water.
The mussel is often transported on boats and in water that has not been drained from boats.
The Game and Parks Commission encourages boaters to drain all water from their boat before transporting it to another body of water. Spraying all water-storage areas with vinegar will help kill young, microscopic mussels.

Good Morning!
Today I wanted to talk about where I believe creativity comes from. It is no longer believed that creative people only use the right side of their brain. Over the last few decades, more research has gone into this dichotomy and it has shown us that to be creative, is to use all of our brain. This makes a lot of sense when I reflect on my own creative processors.
I recently read an article from Scientific American that discusses this exact topic. Ned Herrmann is an educator and consultant, and who has researched both brain functions and creativity. He came to the conclusion that creativity is a mental process that uses all of the brains specialised capabilities. Check out the article if you want, it's a great read 🙂
So to put it simply, the right side of our brain is responsible for our curiosity, playfullness, metaphorical thinking (e.g 'bun in the oven', 'time is money'), taking risks, artistry and experimenting. The right side welcomes and adapts to change and grabs opportunities as they appear. The left is side is more logical, analytical and fact based. It is the little speech bubble that pops up in my head when I have a crazy idea with my work that makes me stop, think and rationalise. (to be honest, it annoys me from time to time. Stop bursting my bubble!)
Even though I may not be friends with my left side from time to time, it does help me out because it also helps me plan, be organised and focus on the detail of my work. If I need to work out how much fabric I need or paint to buy, that side helps me do the math. When I am on the computer designing, both sides of my brain are working together like my little minions winding up the gears and punching in the numbers so I can use the software and create the art piece I desire.
It's not enough to have passion, emotion and inspiration. Don't get me wrong, it's a huge part of the process, it's the beautiful little seed in our soil. However, to execute the idea, we must use all the other parts of our brain.
What's your creative process like?
Have a brainy day ❤

The "Why and How" of your logo
Our procedure
The "why" part is quite easy to understand: your logo must represent your corporate image as well as the services you offer, your corporate mission and nature as accurately as possible.
How you will manage to do so is way more subtle and will depend on your corporate communication tools. If your business is a retail market in constant contact with high volumes of customers through monthly billing (i.e. service companies), that means it operates on a "B to C" (Business to Consumer) basis. In such cases, your corporate logo should contain only one solid color and be easily replicated (no fade-outs) in order to reduce printing costs of these large communication tools.
However, if your company mainly conducts "B to B" (Business to Business) activities and reaches its clients on an online basis only, it will be quite different. Then, there are virtually no restrictions, since the colors of online communication tools are unaffected by production costs. Your logo must however remain tasteful and appropriate.
Once you got a great logo, it is also important to make good use of it. Its main application will remain on your stationery.
With a view to a complete elaboration of your logo, St-Laurent et Associés can also develop all your stationery items, such as letter heads, #10 envelopes as well as business cards for every logo elaboration request. With your approval, all your stationery documents will be delivered to your printing company, with whom we can ensure the coordination of printing, if you so wish.
We also elaborate reference standards, i.e. logo positioning, clearance, color technical specifications (print (pantone or process colors) and video colors). Your new logo will also be adapted to your specific needs, meaning that we will provide you with multiple versions of your logo on a CD: in vectorial, AI and EPS, pixels, JPEG, PNG or BMP, RGB or CMYK versions, along with a PDF document explaining the nomenclature of file names.

Al-Anon versus CRAFT
At Allies in Recovery, we are dedicated to working with the families of addicted loved ones. We aim to empower the family so that they can become their loved one's ally in moving towards recovery. We are also concerned with the family members' wellbeing.
Al-Anon is an organization that focuses primarily on the family member and their recovery from being with someone who abuses substances.
The 12 steps of AA guide this process of self-discovery and healing. Al-Anon stresses our lack of control over someone else's drug or alcohol use. They believe that there is nothing to be done until the loved one hits bottom, admits the problem, and stops using. In the meantime, the family member is supposed to "detach with love".
At Allies in Recovery we agree there is no controlling someone's substance use, BUT we differ on a crucial point: a family member does have influence. A family member is part of the immediate environment and can create the conditions that promote sobriety and recovery.
So it follows that at Allies in Recovery, we teach the family member a set of skills for better responding to a loved one's behavior. When they are using, you're going to allow natural consequences, detach yourself, and remove rewards. When they aren't using you're going to reward that behavior.
This set of principles applies to the present moment, and can also be applied to the larger decisions that hang over many families: housing, financial support, use of the car, help with the logistics of getting treatment.
Our approach teaches that there are actions you can and should take while your loved one is still using. By doing so, you will help to unblock the situation, moving your loved one towards treatment and recovery.
On this important point, Allies in Recovery is different from Al-Anon. However, the support you may gain from a group of people with a shared experience can be so very helpful. If you find Al-Anon helps, by all means seek out meetings BUT also learn the skills we teach at Allies in Recovery.
70% of families trained in our program succeed in getting their loved one to enter treatment — this is a critically important outcome that confirms that taking action works. It is proof that you have a role to play. It is evidence that intervening before a loved one hits bottom is successful in helping to guide them towards treatment and recovery.

Gucci Mane might've dropped off his Woptober album a few weeks ago, the ATL veteran is quickly transitioning his focus towards his next project The Return Of East Atlanta Santa, which is set to arrive next month. Yesterday, Guwop released the first leak off called "I Told You" with Young Thug, and now tonight he's back with another one at exactly 10:17 PM again called "Floor Seats" featuring Quavo (of Migos)

You have to see how this artist flips societal norms about what it means to be a breastfeeding mother on their heads. Warning: These photos are not suitable for work.
Asya Reznikov is a mother and artist—and makes full use of both of these roles in her latest project.
The Russian-born artist has created Expression, an eleven-minute video and audio piece that makes an incredibly powerful statement about the role mothers play in society. The video features Reznikov expressing her breast milk into a pair of wine glasses. You could interpret this action in any number of ways, but Reznikov set out to convey something specific: She aimed to take the image of a woman pouring a drink for her husband and subvert it. It represents a dichotomy: The thrill of intoxication along with the responsibility of nurturing another human.
The full video, which is on display at New York City's Nancy Hoffman Gallery, is a sight to behold but even stills convey Reznikov's message loud and clear.
"Five years ago, I became pregnant with my first child and I couldn't help but create works about that experience, which suddenly became my new world. I obsessively documented my body's changes, my thoughts and emotions, and how my experience related to the world at large. These images, videos, writings, and thoughts all evolved into the pieces that are in this 'turning life' exhibition," Reznikov told Fit Pregnancy. "This body of work explores the fear and excitement associated with pregnancy, the gambles of reproduction, and women's roles as nurturers—more specifically, female artists' roles as creators of both art and life. It addresses the paradoxes in society of being both a female artist and mother."
Reznikov has a very clear understanding of what her work is about but that doesn't mean she doesn't worry about how the public views it.
"One concern I had was that the work might be perceived as 'work about pregnancy,' which it is not. There are many layers to the work and I use my experience of pregnancy and nurturing as a metaphor and means through which to explore universal issues. Among other things, Expression shows the contradiction of how our society celebrates serving alcohol while shunning nursing a baby in public," she said.
But people are responding quite well to what Reznikov has presented. "Reactions to the works have been very positive because they're immediately compelling, allowing viewers to engage with them and discover layers of meaning. Also, this work enables people to contemplate material with which they ordinarily might not be comfortable," she said. "I bring front and center female artists' roles as creators of both art and life, while continuing to explore the broader themes that dominate all of my work such as issues of displacement, domesticity, identity, foreignness and definitions of home."

In an early stage of our study project we met with Nokia-Simens Networks people with a group of engineering students of the Helsinki University of Technology TKK. They were having a study project were students assignment was to create rescue communication solutions. The students were looking really the basic technology solutions, but also the "service" side – how to set-up emergency networks?
Our design work has been more in the "front-end", close to the final beneficiaries: people, citizens and aid workers.
The TKK study project's report is interesting reading. Their and our work nicely complement each other.
The report from the TKK project is now online in here:
Rescue communication solutions in natural disasters
Please, have a look of it. It's really worth of think the solution presented in it, in light of our design solutions.

Frédéric Fleury is an artist based in Dunkirk, France. He draws funny, subversive, bizarre and what some might term as "offensive" cartoons. His artwork ranges from occult drawings, tarot cards, surreal monsters to sex—lots of sex.
In Monsieur Fleury's world, no sexual fetish is ever off limits. His past work includes sex with dead celebrities, sex with snow, compulsive masturbation, oral sex, sodomy, fist-fucking—as near as dammit an illustrated A-Z of sexual fantasies, fetishes and practices.
M. Fleury also runs a successful publishing house (with Emmanuelle Pidoux) called Editions du 57, which publishes limited edition art books at a very reasonable price. Additionally, he is a founding member of the art collective journal Frédéric Magazine.
So far, so good.
Among M. Fleury's many books is La passion du bois or The Passion for Wood from 2010, which depicts:
The many ways to get pleasure from a tree, a log, a wooden stick…
You can guess what follows, lots of comic illustrations, drawn with a charming child-like simplicity, of various individuals getting their jollies from trees. "Why?" you may ask. Well, apparently M. Fleury likes to question the "perception of drawing" by producing work that "continuously" explores the medium. I guess, in other words, he likes to draw all those things that most artists wouldn't dare to and put them out in the world to create a response. Like tree fuckers.

Chicken Pot Pie on the Run
Ingredients1 h 15 m servings 364
- Adjust
- Metric
Directions{{model.addEditText}} Print
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat, and cook and stir the onion with butter until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, salt, and pepper to make a paste. Whisk in the chicken soup and milk, and cook and stir the sauce until smooth and thickened, about 5 minutes. Lightly mix in the cooked chicken and mixed vegetables, and pour the chicken and sauce into a 2-quart deep casserole dish.
- Unroll the pie crust, lay it on the casserole dish, and fold and press the edges of the crust down to seal the crust to the dish. Cut several small slits in the crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
- Cook's Notes
- Cooked chicken meat equals half a supermarket rotisserie chicken. Save the other half of the meat for another favorite dish.
- This recipe makes more than enough for 2 generous servings for adults and 2 or 3 children, with enough leftovers for a packed lunch the next day.
- Tip
- Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.

This compact, powerful suction unit is designed to effectively evacuate the oral pharynx in emergency situations. It is small enough to fit inside a first-in bag or carried in a pocket by the user. It has a bulb designed to provide a vacuum force of approximately 100 mmhg. Generated by the rebound of the bulb after each squeeze, contents are expelled into a collection bag attached to the outlet port. The bag and bulb hold well over 1000 cc's. For convenience in disposal, the unit is also packaged in a bag with a two-part label so the user can peel off the top layer to expose a biohazard warning.
