Skip to comments.'Green' Debacle: Tens of Thousands of Abandoned Wind Turbines Now Litter America's Landscape
Posted on 11/24/2011 10:21:06 AM PST by LRoggy
(NaturalNews) Literal beacons of the "green" energy movement, giant wind turbines have been one of the renewable energy sources of choice for the US government, which has spent billions of taxpayer dollars subsidizing their construction and use across the country. But high maintenance costs, high rates of failure, and fluctuating weather conditions that affect energy production render wind turbines expensive and inefficient, which is why more than 14,000 of them have since been abandoned.
Before government subsidies for the giant metals were cut or eliminated in many areas, wind farms were an energy boom business. But in the post-tax subsidy era, the costs of maintaining and operating wind turbines far outweighs the minimal power they generate in many areas, which has left a patchwork of wind turbine graveyards in many of the most popular wind farming areas of the US.
"Thousands of abandoned wind turbines littered the landscape of wind energy's California 'big three' locations which include Altamont Pass, Tehachapin and San Gorgonio, considered among the world's best wind sites," writes Andrew Walden of the American Thinker. "In the best wind spots on earth, over 14,000 turbines were simply abandoned. Spinning, post-industrial junk which generates nothing but bird kills."
Walden speaks, of course, about the birds, bats, and other air creatures that routinely get tangled in and killed by wind turbine propellers. And as far as the "post-industrial junk" language, well, if it costs too much to run the machines in the first place, then it definitely costs too much to uproot and remove them post-construction.
This whole wind energy mess just further illustrates how the American people have been played by their elected officials who bought into the "global warming" hysteria that spawned the push for wind energy in the first place. And now that the renewable energy tax subsidies are gradually coming to an end in some places, the true financial and economic viability, or lack of wind energy, is on display for the world to see.
"It is all about the tax subsidies," writes Don Surber of the Charleston Daily Mail. "The blades churn until the money runs out. If an honest history is written about the turn of the 21st century, it will include a large, harsh chapter on how fears about global warming were overplayed for profit by corporations."

Time to give a few hundred billion dollars as grants to Al Gore's companies so that they can save the world by dismantling these windmills and disposing them in a safe manner.
"overplayed for profit by corporations."
Gee it's sure nice to see that blame can be placed on evil capitalists!!!
Good story, but Don Surber of the Charleston Daily Mail is a blithering idiot when he says "...fears about global warming were overplayed for profit by corporations." It was false fears stoked by the government-adademe cabal, commies who want to restrict your free choices and control your life, and a government full of progs only too happy to use our tax money to further their arcadian dream of carbon-free energy. Corporations were generally the last to get on board with this game when it finally became evident this horrific scheme was not going away and there were huge profits to be made at the expense of taxpayers.
It was a windmill.
Just sayin'.
Wind turbines can & do work but on the small scale ie homestead scale the giant turbines are AC power which gets fed directly into the power grid the homestead scale turbines are DC that charge batteries that convert DC to AC by the use of a device called an inverter . The problem with homestead scale is that it is the responsibility of the owner to maintain the system also the NIMBY factor .
You're right. Good point.
This is not the complete picture. Businesses like Solyndra were part of this cabal too. Many of these businesses were funded by venture capitalists like Kleiner Perkins (Al Gore is a partner) whose aim was to feed off the system. This is what is called crony capitalism. There is no need to pretend that businesses do not join the cabal. We should oppose businesses that hate the free-market and prefer crony capitalism. Merely being businesses do not make them virtuous.
They just broke ground on a 17,000 acre, $400 million dollar windfarm near here.
All union-only jobs to prepare for and build them too.
Some of the best farmland in the country to be dotted with 200 ton slabs of concrete. And in a state that has a huge supply of cheap coal under it.
In 20 years, it'll be a big business dropping these things like redwoods and scrapping the metals.
I did, however, make a crapload of money doing a bunch of work for a farmer that got a crapload of this money for his numerous land leases to the project.
So what nifty thing can we make out of really big windmill pieces?
They could make some component of cool architecture. The blades would make cool swooping portico roofs.
When I first saw these things, my experience as a millwright and subsequently a designer and engineer of large scale processing plants, I said immediately that the issue of maintenance would far outweigh their capability to generate enough power to pay for itself.
The first farm I saw was the one at the pass outside of Palm Springs on my way back to Florida from one of the last races at Riverside.
Always execute the straight face test first.
Believe it or not, there are a lot of people like me that like this technology but we don't want it forced on us. Let the private sector figure it out. If it is truly viable, it will catch on and the entry price point will drop the more people voluntarily begin to use it.
What is needed next is a new investigation of all the companies, past and present who received government grant funding and then coordinate that with congress critters who also invested in these companies beforehand.
Recently driving down to Milwaukee from Fond du Lac ran into a bunch of these wind turbines dotting the farmlands. Very ugly on the skyline.
"harsh chapter on how fears about global warming were overplayed for profit by corporations.""
Once again its the evil corporations. /s
I'd imagine those evil bastards wouldn't have done this without the envirwhacko's and their political influence and bribes.
Like every other program the leftist aka progressive treehuggers have forced on America. Another big screw up.
"And as far as the "post-industrial junk" language, well, if it costs too much to run the machines in the first place, then it definitely costs too much to uproot and remove them post-construction."
Having been raised by a father who owned a couple of scrap yards, I can assure you that if those windmills are metal, and if clear title to them can be had, they will be scrapped.
Agreed. Every technology has its sweet spot and the smaller units have lots of promise for providing power in remote and mobile applications like sailboats.
The same applies for solar. Solar panels have a shelf life and again, the cost of replacing those panels in the large acreage panel farms will suffer the same result.
One of my projects was to take an outdoor vending device and redesign it so it used a solar panel to recharge the internal battery that actually was the power storage for the system so it could be installed anywhere like golf courses, boat docks, beaches, lakes and water parks. This is where solar shines but large scale AC power generation over a long period of time is not economically feasible when the shelf life of the panels is just under the ability to pay for them from the savings over fossil fuels.
Watermellons is an excellent term for them.
You won't hear any OWS moron complain about this particular corporate welfare.
Idols for their cult.
Happy Thanksgiving
National Guard engineer units across the country could probably use the practice blowing things up (actually controlled demolitions). Let the scrappers at the rest, they will clean most of it up.
All so that it all looks like nice and "green" when they take pictures of it.
I partially agree with you — corporations and VCs ARE culpable here. But they would have pursued none of this if it weren't for the gross market distortions caused by government spending our tax money with wild abandon and crooked academics. Government and the academy set the table. The corporations and VCs simply sat down for the prepared feast.
"Like every other program the leftist aka progressive treehuggers have forced on America. Another big screw up".........just like sister ethanol
It isn't a case of not liking the technology. I think it is a great idea...Idea.
The problem comes in when the idea has to work, and that is the R&D aspect which should have been done long before going to production level implementation.
Like electric cars, the research isn't done yet, at least not for something which can compete in any but niche markets, and until it is, trying to take the idea to mass production will be an expensive lesson in premature implementation.
Sadly, those expenses were not left to the private sector, but are fuelled by our tax dollars, present, past, and future. Had the private sector been wholly responsible there may have been far greater accountability and far, far, less waste.
"...it will include a large, harsh chapter on how fears about global warming were overplayed for profit by corporations."
Individuals are involved as well....
Fisker Automotive, a startup that plans to start selling a plug-in hybrid (sticker price $87,900) this year, received a $529 million loan from the U.S. government..
"...the $300 million federal subsidy to Tesla Motors -founded by Elon Musk.to produce electric cars
Produce a sexy enough con...and the Feds will beat a path to your door to give you money in the name of feeling good about doing so...and of course a hefty return to their "campaign finance fund"-which BTW if they "fail" to use...may be kept personally.
This is a scam. All a scam.
Notice how PETA nor the environmentalists never got involved with the bird kills?
That's all that needs to be said about the Marxist movement.
You're gonna need a bigger porch!
The corporations were only the legal entities that was used by corrupt politicians, fake scientists, dishonest financiers to defraud the taxpayers out of billions of dollars.
It doesn't really matter who corrupted who. The fact is that it is the power of government that incites the corruption.
I knew this was going to happen.
All this physical stuff requires maintenance, repair, periodic replacement of parts.
On top of not paying for itself, having to use power when there is not enough wind, to having to be shut down when it's too windy. Brake failures that cause them to blow up.
Sad thing is that it was totally deliberate. Wasting taxpayer money on the worst forms of energy out there, that also cost the most to gather. Incredibly high cost for very low energy return. Instead of sinking it into better coal plants, or new safer almost impossible meltdown nuclear plant designs (pebble bed reactors).
Plus on top of it they make a lot of noise and the shadow issue is huge for people who live close to them, and they've been killing birds and bats like nuts.
It's on purpose. To waste our money on stuff that costs a ton of money that we'll not get any use out of. So we'll be even more dependent on foreign sources. And also to burn the money away so it's not spent on real energy solutions that do work, like better coal and nuclear plants.
Totally deliberate. Totally.
Big swords to slice the heads off of swaths of people who won't convert to the false god allah.
He's closer than you are. It has been the charitable foundations of the major energy company stockholders funding the green groups that have promoted green racketeering.
California's attempts to switch to green energy have inadvertently put the survival of the states golden eagles at risk.
Scores of the protected birds have been dying each year after colliding with the blades of about 5,000 wind turbines the number of newborn golden eagles may not be able to keep pace with the number of turbine fatalities.
Another recovering species, the California Condor, is also said to be at risk from the giant blades.
We taxpayers have spent millions of dollars saving the California condor from extinction, Gary George, spokesman for Audubon California, told the Times.
Gadz, I hate these ignorant greenie communists.
Ping for hilarious pictures
For some reason I'm thinking that you didn't mean to ping me...
The crony capitalists were not unwilling participants. Many times, they advised the government on what technology to subsidize and invested in those technologies. Believe me, just as there are supporters of the free-markets and there are supporters of socialism, there are quite a few crony capitalists as well out there. By any yardstick, George Soros cannot be considered to be part of either the government or the academia even though he wields immense clout with various governments. People like him are part of the group known as cronies in the crony capitalist setup.
I had forgotten that. Thanks for the reminder!
JT Council Addresses CM Energies Criminal Investigation
October 20, 2011
In a specially called meeting this morning, the Jonestown City Council addressed a single agenda item: a $2 million wind energy grant that is the focus of an ongoing criminal investigation.
After convening at 9 a.m., the council went almost immediately into executive session to, according to the agenda, consult with the city attorney concerning a grant application involving CM Energies, the city of Jonestown and $2 million in federal funds. Based on legal considerations, the executive session was not attended by either Mayor Deane Armstrong or Alderman Lance Wedell.
After an hour and a half, Mayor Armstrong called the meeting back into public session. Alderman Bill Nichols then read a statement, prefacing it with a comment that, due to the ongoing criminal investigation, no further remarks would be made today by the council.
Nichols statement was as follows: The city will continue to fully cooperate with federal, state and county investigators on all points associated with this issue. The Council will initiate an internal review of the administration of this grant. There will be a discussion item on the agenda for the next regular meeting of the City Council. The Council will also address employee comments and actions at the appropriate time, when all information is available to the Council.
Funny you mentioned the idea of salvage. The first thing one has to disassemble is the blade unit. The blades are all fiberglass and totally worthless as scrap. Disposing of those huge junk chunks will be impressively expensive not to mention the cost of the crane to get them down in one piece (blowing them loose is out of the question). The gearbox and generator unit might have some value if it was on the ground already but blowing the tower would eliminate any value except scrap.-————I wrote about this years ago saying that if you think we're dependent on oil now just wait until we might be dependent on windmills. Currently we use a supertanker load of oil/year to make the blade material for windmills. It takes a second tanker load to process the first load. The blades don't really last very long so the process must be continuous just to keep the current stuff running.————The only reasonable way windpower can ever be industrially reliable is if the energy can be stored at the time the wind blows then metered as needed. My favorite way to do this is to pump water out of a river uphill to a reservoir then generate hydropower as needed by giving the water back to the river——doesn't lose fish, doesn't lose water, doesn't lose wind——but is way too much to expect from the democommiegreenweenies. Apologies if I've left anyone out.

Patient Comments: Rotavirus - Symptoms and Signs
What were the symptoms and signs of your rotavirus infection?
Comment from: virusfromhell2012, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: March 07
I had diarrhea so badly, it was hard not to stay hydrated with the frequency of bathroom visits. And I am talking about 10 visits to the toilet in a day. No throwing up just door number 2. My potassium was depleted and had to take supplements. I felt so weak and tired; I thought I was going to die. I could kill the person who gave this to me. I have not been resting as I should and it has prolonged my wonderful experience with this virus, now 2 weeks almost 3. I am single and live alone so I have to keep walking to the store for Gatorade and PowerAde, bananas and what not. It sucks. I have been hydrating like crazy and have even made my own rice milk drink. It is still in my system because I have a high white blood cell count. This rotavirus is a nightmare. And you can do very little about it because it is a virus. Just hydrate like crazy and call your doctor to get lab tests for potassium levels. This scared me to death. Sheesh!!!!!
Comment from: vixennls, Published: April 08
My daughter has a feeding tube and does not take much oral consumption. When she started out with a cold and then started drinking a lot, I knew something was not right. She was going through about three 32-ounce bottles of Pedialyte within two hours. Her electrolyte levels were way below normal, her color was not right, and she was very irritable – nothing consoled her.
Comment from: Julie, 0-2 Male (Caregiver) Published: March 01
My 11 month old son was hospitalized with this nasty rotavirus. Vomiting, temperature, etc. He was severely dehydrated and his heart rate rose, so he had breathing problems. I had to call an ambulance, and he had IV fluids in him for 24 hours. I am glad there is a vaccine available in the UK, it surely needs eradicating.
Comment from: Travis, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: December 10
I got the rotavirus from my son and it's been one of the worst weeks of my life. Constant nausea, weakness, headache, inability to eat anything that has flavor and just constant vomiting has really destroyed my health. This virus is almost as bad as when I was covered from head to toe in poison oak. It's been 7 days and I still see no signs of getting better. I went to the hospital three times in the last week and had IVs which made me feel better, but the next day I was still sick.
Comment from: Sarah A, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: January 20
ROTAVIRUS=DEVIL. This is awful. My 4 month old son contracted it from daycare and it took everyone out one by one. Seriously this is no joke. He had diarrhea for 5 days at least 4-5 a day and on the 6th day he did have some vomiting. He didn't get the fever, but he was better Friday and on Saturday I got it. Started vomiting and diarrhea every hour on the hour from 9am to 9pm. Only thing I could keep down was ice chips. Nothing else worked broth, water, flat soda, Gatorade, saltines. It all came up! This was the worst cold/virus I have ever gotten in my whole life. I am 29!! Ughghg. Lysol everything and clean, clean, wash, wash. The virus can stay around for 4-5 days!!
Comment from: kruggs, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: January 06
My symptoms of rotavirus were severe diarrhea, vomiting, headache and slight fever. The worst of the symptoms lasted approximately 24 hours, which included vomiting/dry heaving and watery diarrhea almost every half hour. To be honest, I don't believe I've ever been that sick. In fact, I told my husband that if it was possible to poop out the devil, then this was it, simply horrible.
Comment from: Marietta, 13-18 Female (Caregiver) Published: April 15
My granddaughter, Tiffany who is 15 years old, had a colonoscopy January 28, 2011. Directly after the test on the 29th, she started with diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, night sweats, no appetite, and weight loss and couldn't sleep. We ended up back at the family doctor. They had taken multiple blood test, x rays, and sonograms. We are now back with the GI doctor and he ordered many tests with bowel movements. One test showed she has rotavirus. Now we are waiting on the other test. It's been over two months now and she is getting very irritable.

I love this brush. It's the only brush i'll use. I bought one years ago after going to an Aveda salon. I had it forever until it ripped! I told the Aveda people that and they were shocked. But I did get A LOT of use out of it. So I bought two more of these brushes and I'll buy another two when I need to. :D

Better than my Mason Pearson! I am so happy with the detangling abilities of this brush! It has out performed my wet brush and tangle teezer in tackling my tangles, and grooms better than my Mason Pearson- and a quarter of the price. I think my quest for the perfect brush is now over, thanks to Aveda. I am normally a Kerastase girl but decided to take the plunge after reading reviews on MUA, so thank you girls.

This is my HG brush and the only thing I use to comb, brush my hair. I do own a much hyped Mason Pearson, but I prefer the Aveda brush by far. It is very gentle to hair and scalp - can even be used on wet hair, is very easy to keep clean and is very versatile. I use it to detangle wet hair, to blow dry, to brush my hair before styling into a pony tail or bun.
It works great, it is well-made and priced right.
Would repurchase in a heart-beat if I lost mine. Highly recommended.

i ordered a flat brush with my Aveda Rewards points today , and can't wait to get it! My stylist uses one and i love what it does for my fine , med-long silvering hair. i have the Conair dupe and my husband liked it so much he bought his own; will be interesting when he gets a load of the real deal...will update !! EDIT-Have been using my brush and LOVE it! I don't use it on wet hair as I saw on other posts it tended to fall apart! My husband uses it as well which is fine- he laughs at my stuff and then ends up using it himself!!

Best brush I've ever owned. I have thick, long hair and this feels AMAZING on my scalp. I can even use it to detangle wet hair. Well-made too. I've had it for 2 or 3 years, and see it lasting 10 easily.

This is the perfect brush for massaging the scalp and distributing the natural oil from your scalp throughout the rest of your hair. It's a must-have tool, but I don't recommend using it on wet hair for several reasons. First, the bristles are a bit rough and I find them to be too uncomfortable when my hair is wet. Second, the handle and backing is made of wood. I'm actually on my second brush. I used the first one on dry and wet hair and it only lasted about a year. I have used the second one I bought on only dry hair. It's been almost two years now and the brush still looks and works like new.

I loved this brush when I owned it, it was amazing. I left it at a special someone's place for him to use on his long hair; he loved it so much (and I loved him so much), I just let him keep it. It easily sorted through my long/tangled, messy, dense waves without breaking my hair and massaged my scalp at the same time. HOWEVER, before you run out to buy this, you should try Conair's version: Similar chic/natural design, same amazing performance and feel, better feeling bristles (some claim that the Aveda's bristles dig into their scalp...ouch!), and less than half the price of Aveda's (Conair about $7, Aveda about $20). UPDATE: I lost my lovely Conair dupe during a move so I repurchased the Aveda brush. However, I like the Conair so much better (the feel of it in my hand, the more gentle bristles), that I repurchased it to use instead. continued >>

Wow!!! In my house we call this the best brush ever, my seven year old son does not run from this brush and has even asked me to brush his hair when he has seen it laying out. I cannot say enough good things about this brush but, I too wish there was a round brush I loved as much.

Interesting question as Earl gets closer....
Yes, Most of the time they do. Another benefit banks have is they can place a policy for flood or wind immediately- no 30 day delay.
Though I can't speak for all financial institutions and all states, I can confirm that here in California, Wells Fargo IS PAYING the homeowner's insurance on a property which I am the executor, and have stopped making payments back in March. I confirmed this through "Triple A" (AAA) Insurance Company. I'm not sure about the property taxes, but I do know that I'm not paying them, so it is possible that through an impound account or through direct deposit, Wells Fargo is paying that also. I hope this helps. Also, for what it's worth, I have been in the courtroom during one "predatory lending" case and one "improper use of funds by an investment firm" case, and you may be pleased to know that in both cases, the judge immediately ruled in favor of the borrower/customer, and basically told the "institutional attorneys" that the clients that "they" represented acted inappropriately and "not in the interest of their customers" (paraphrased). These were "arbitration" cases, in other words, no jury.
hell no its a year to even get to forclosure
Come to think of it, there were articles that talked about how the banks that put people through foreclosure hadn't even transfered the names on the titles just so they wouldn't be stuck with the tax bill. So if they haven't transfered the names, can they really get insurance on a property in someone elses name? If they've foreclosed, there is no longer a lien, so without a name change, can they qualify to collect?Interesting to say the least.
I have 8-10 friends who have been going through the foreclosure process in florida for 2-2 1/2 years. They are hiding the truth. The bank is even paying there taxes because atleast they are taking care of the property until they can foreclose.. WE ARE SCREWED!!
I suppose that depends upon their liquidity! LOL
In the midwest some of the banks forget to shut off the water on their properties, but they did remember to shut off the heat. Bet you know what happens when you do that and it goes below 32 degrees.

Where do you start? How do you begin to tell someone how wonderful they are and to relay your appreciation for all that they have done, not just for you, but for your family, friends, and community? I would like everyone to join me in wishing Gary Hale, Fire Marshal, a wonderous bon voyage, happy trails, adios, adieu, so long.
After 43 years of hard work and dedication, and very early mornings, choir director Renée C. Henderson has announced her retirement from KCHS.
On behalf of the Soldotna High School Class of 2015, we would like to thank the following people and businesses for their help and support in making our "Great Gatsby Gala" prom an enjoyable and memorable night.
Thanks to Columbia Paint, CBC Rental, The Duck Inn, Odom/Coca-Cola, Northern Sales Company, The Daily Buzz, Odies, Tammy's Flowers, Trustworthy Hardware, The Boys and Girls Club, and Kaladi Brothers for financial and supply donations. It is wonderful to have so many local businesses help support our event.
From "Fish Board Politics" (Peninsula Clarion, April 14), this column seems more a defense of a political process than a validation of a public process. I was at the board meeting in Anchorage, for two weeks. The board will not meet in Soldotna. The board has not deliberated here since 1999. On the last day in the last two hours of the 2014 meeting the board of fish voted for two Kluberton board generated re-allocation proposals exclusive of the public process and customary comment period. I did not see Les Palmer at the meeting.
For some time now the nature of public education and it's future has been the subject of much debate and rightfully so. The futures of young people and their parents, Alaskans, Americans and citizens of our world are tied to the decisions we are making today.
When the elected haters of public education talk about our failed education system here in Alaska, they are talking about the schools your children attend, your friends and neighbors who teach your children, and they are talking about your children.
To all who came to the 2014 Peninsula Job Fair, we say, thank you — you are the reason this event was a success.
Soldotna Senior Center would like to thank Fred Meyer One Stop Shop & Floral Department for the wonderful donation of the fresh cut gorgeous flowers. The beautiful Fred Meyer flowers were delivered to area homebound seniors and seniors attending the center. The flowers were truly appreciated and was the highlight of the day. Everyone extends their thank you to Fred Meyer for the heartfelt donation and caring of Soldotna area seniors.
To our wonderful and generous parents, staff, and community!
On April 5, Sterling Elementary Mrs. McKinley's 5th Grade class held two fundraisers for our planned field trip to Kasitsna Bay Lab in Seldovia. Our first, a bake sale at Sterling Elementary and our second, a spaghetti dinner at the Sterling Senior Center brought together families, staff, and community.
Does your borough assemblyperson represent you, or are they employees of the borough and entitled to an executive level compensation package? If they are borough employees how can they approve labor contracts that will ultimately increase their own benefits without having a clear conflict of interest?
Borough Assemblyman Brent Johnson from Kasilof introduced ordinance 2014-11 which would have eliminated about $97,000 worth of assembly benefits in exchange for doubling the monthly stipend.

Although James Joyce left Ireland as a young man and spent most of his adult life on the European continent, all his books have Ireland as their geographic center. When asked near the end of his life if he ever intended to return to Ireland, Joyce responded candidly, "Have I ever left it?"
In the fifteen classic stories that comprise Dubliners, James Joyce seeks to explore the "significance of trivial things." While the stories can be regarded as separate and independent entities, they can also be considered as parts of a larger whole, reinforcing and illuminating each other, acting as pieces of a mosaic that captures moods from childhood, young adulthood, courtship, and married life, as well as the public life of church, state, and the arts. Included in the collection is The Dead," Joyce's most enduring and evocative piece of short fiction, together with the often anthologized Araby, Eveline, and A Painful Case.
Complementing the edition are eight specially commissioned maps of Dublin that allow the reader to follow the characters in and around the city that Joyce deemed "the center of paralysis," and an introduction by renowned Joyce scholar Don Gifford.
Author Biography:
James Joyce was born in Rathgar, a suburb of Dublin in 1882. He attended Belvedere College, a Jesuit school, from 1893 to 1898 and graduated from University College, Dublin in 1902. Freeing himself from the strictures of religion, family, and his homeland, Joyce fled Ireland in 1904 accompanied by Nora Barnacle, a young Galway woman he'd met earlier that year. They lived in such European cities as Pola, Trieste, and Rome, together with their two children, Giorgio and Lucia, while Joyce supported them by teaching English and taking clerical jobs. Drawing on his experiences and childhood in Ireland, Joyce published Dubliners in 1914, and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in 1916. The family settled in Zurich in 1915, and relocated to Paris in 1920. There, Joyce continued his fascination with dissolving the boundaries between life and literature in his masterwork, Ulysses, published in 1922 on his fortieth birthday. In 1923, Joyce began to compose his "Work in Progress." Seventeen years in the making, the book was published as Finnegans Wake in 1939. Joyce died in Zurich in 1941.
Editorial Reviews
"Keri Walsh's Broadview edition of Dubliners will deepen and enliven any reader's experience of Joyce's book. Included here are extensive appendices of primary materials that contextualize Joyce's fictional world in terms of Ireland's social, cultural, religious, and economic history, and in terms of the book's troubled publication history, its early reception, and its place in literary history. Walsh's introductory essay lays out the stakes of Joyce's fraught relationship with Dublin and its denizens with clarity, concision, wit, and readability. Nowhere else have I read Joyce's early life and work so essentially distilled, and rarely have I read Dubliners so artfully described. I expect Walsh's Broadview edition of Dubliners to be around for a long time to come." Michael Rubenstein, Stony Brook University
"Keri Walsh, as we already know from her collection of Sylvia Beach's letters, is an archivist who blends the conscience of an ethnographer with the touch of a lover. She has achieved something genuinely exhilarating in this edition of Dubliners transformed us into Joyce's contemporaries while simultaneously renewing the book as a contemporary text, richly teachable and learnable, for twenty-first century readers, students, and scholars." Saikat Majumdar, author of Prose of the World: Modernism and the Banality of Empire

Read an Excerpt
There was no hope for him this time: it was the third stroke. Night after night I had passed the house (it was vacation time) and studied the lighted square of window: and night after night I had found it lighted in the same way, faintly and evenly. If he was dead, I thought, I would see the reflection of candles on the darkened blind for I knew that two candles must be set at the head of a corpse. He had often said to me: "I am not long for this world," and I had thought his words idle. Now I knew they were true. Every night as I gazed up at the window I said softly to myself the word paralysis. It had always sounded strangely in my ears, like the word gnomon in the Euclid and the word simony in the Catechism. But now it sounded to me like the name of some maleficent and sinful being. It filled me with fear, and yet I longed to be nearer to it and to look upon its deadly work.
Old Cotter was sitting at the fire, smoking, when I came downstairs to supper. While my aunt was ladling out my stirabout he said, as if returning to some former remark of his: "No, I wouldn't say he was exactly . . . but there was something queer . . . there was something uncanny about him. I'll tell you my opinion. . . ." He began to puff at his pipe, no doubt arranging his opinion in his mind. Tiresome old fool! When we knew him first he used to be rather interesting, talking of faints and worms; but I soon grew tired of him and his endless stories about the distillery.
"I have my own theory about it," he said. "I think it was one of those . . . peculiar cases. . . . But it's hard to say. . . ." He began to puff again at his pipe without giving us his theory. My uncle saw me staring and said to me: "Well, so your old friend is gone, you'll be sorry to hear."
"Who?" said I.
"Father Flynn."
"Is he dead?"
"Mr. Cotter here has just told us. He was passing by the house."
I knew that I was under observation so I continued eating as if the news had not interested me. My uncle explained to old Cotter.
"The youngster and he were great friends. The old chap taught him a great deal, mind you; and they say he had a great wish for him."
"God have mercy on his soul," said my aunt piously.
Old Cotter looked at me for a while. I felt that his little beady black eyes were examining me but I would not satisfy him by looking up from my plate. He returned to his pipe and finally spat rudely into the grate.
"I wouldn't like children of mine," he said, "to have too much to say to a man like that."
"How do you mean, Mr. Cotter?" asked my aunt.
"What I mean is," said old Cotter, "it's bad for children. My idea is: let a young lad run about and play with young lads of his own age and not be . . . Am I right, Jack?"
"That's my principle, too," said my uncle. "Let him learn to box his corner. That's what I'm always saying to that Rosicrucian there: take exercise. Why, when I was a nipper every morning of my life I had a cold bath, winter and summer. And that's what stands to me now. Education is all very fine and large. . . . Mr. Cotter might take a pick of that leg of mutton," he added to my aunt.
"No, no, not for me," said old Cotter.
My aunt brought the dish from the safe and put it on the table. "But why do you think it's not good for children, Mr. Cotter?" she asked.
"It's bad for children," said old Cotter, "because their minds are so impressionable. When children see things like that, you know, it has an effect..."
I crammed my mouth with stirabout for fear I might give utterance to my anger. Tiresome old red-nosed imbecile!
It was late when I fell asleep. Though I was angry with old Cotter for alluding to me as a child, I puzzled my head to extract meaning from his unfinished sentences. In the dark of my room I imagined that I saw again the heavy grey face of the paralytic. I drew the blankets over my head and tried to think of Christmas. But the grey face still followed me. It murmured; and I understood that it desired to confess something. I felt my soul receding into some pleasant and vicious region; and there again I found it waiting for me. It began to confess to me in a murmuring voice and I wondered why it smiled continually and why the lips were so moist with spittle. But then I remembered that it had died of paralysis and I felt that I too was smiling feebly as if to absolve the simoniac of his sin.
The next morning after breakfast I went down to look at the little house in Great Britain Street. It was an unassuming shop, registered under the vague name of Drapery. The drapery consisted mainly of children's bootees and umbrellas; and on ordinary days a notice used to hang in the window, saying: Umbrellas Re-covered. No notice was visible now for the shutters were up. A crape bouquet was tied to the door-knocker with ribbon. Two poor women and a telegram boy were reading the card pinned on the crape. I also approached and read:
July 1st, 1895
The Rev. James Flynn (formerly of S. Catherine's Church,
Meath Street), aged sixty-five years.
The reading of the card persuaded me that he was dead and I was disturbed to find myself at check. Had he not been dead I would have gone into the little dark room behind the shop to find him sitting in his arm-chair by the fire, nearly smothered in his great-coat. Perhaps my aunt would have given me a packet of High Toast for him and this present would have roused him from his stupefied doze. It was always I who emptied the packet into his black snuff-box for his hands trembled too much to allow him to do this without spilling half the snuff about the floor. Even as he raised his large trembling hand to his nose little clouds of smoke dribbled through his fingers over the front of his coat. It may have been these constant showers of snuff which gave his ancient priestly garments their green faded look for the red handkerchief, blackened, as it always was, with the snuff-stains of a week, with which he tried to brush away the fallen grains, was quite inefficacious.
I wished to go in and look at him but I had not the courage to knock. I walked away slowly along the sunny side of the street, reading all the theatrical advertisements in the shop-windows as I went. I found it strange that neither I nor the day seemed in a mourning mood and I felt even annoyed at discovering in myself a sensation of freedom as if I had been freed from something by his death. I wondered at this for, as my uncle had said the night before, he had taught me a great deal. He had studied in the Irish college in Rome and he had taught me to pronounce Latin properly. He had told me stories about the catacombs and about Napoleon Bonaparte, and he had explained to me the meaning of the different ceremonies of the Mass and of the different vestments worn by the priest. Sometimes he had amused himself by putting difficult questions to me, asking me what one should do in certain circumstances or whether such and such sins were mortal or venial or only imperfections. His questions showed me how complex and mysterious were certain institutions of the Church which I had always regarded as the simplest acts. The duties of the priest towards the Eucharist and towards the secrecy of the confessional seemed so grave to me that I wondered how anybody had ever found in himself the courage to undertake them; and I was not surprised when he told me that the fathers of the Church had written books as thick as the Post Office Directory and as closely printed as the law notices in the newspaper, elucidating all these intricate questions. Often when I thought of this I could make no answer or only a very foolish and halting one upon which he used to smile and nod his head twice or thrice. Sometimes he used to put me through the responses of the Mass which he had made me learn by heart; and, as I pattered, he used to smile pensively and nod his head, now and then pushing huge pinches of snuff up each nostril alternately. When he smiled he used to uncover his big discoloured teeth and let his tongue lie upon his lower lipa habit which had made me feel uneasy in the beginning of our acquaintance before I knew him well.
As I walked along in the sun I remembered old Cotter's words and tried to remember what had happened afterwards in the dream. I remembered that I had noticed long velvet curtains and a swinging lamp of antique fashion. I felt that I had been very far away, in some land where the customs were strangein Persia, I thought. . . . But I could not remember the end of the dream.
In the evening my aunt took me with her to visit the house of mourning. It was after sunset; but the window-panes of the houses that looked to the west reflected the tawny gold of a great bank of clouds. Nannie received us in the hall; and, as it would have been unseemly to have shouted at her, my aunt shook hands with her for all. The old woman pointed upwards interrogatively and, on my aunt's nodding, proceeded to toil up the narrow staircase before us, her bowed head being scarcely above the level of the banister-rail. At the first landing she stopped and beckoned us forward encouragingly towards the open door of the dead-room. My aunt went in and the old woman, seeing that I hesitated to enter, began to beckon to me again repeatedly with her hand.
I went in on tiptoe. The room through the lace end of the blind was suffused with dusky golden light amid which the candles looked like pale thin flames. He had been coffined. Nannie gave the lead and we three knelt down at the foot of the bed. I pretended to pray but I could not gather my thoughts because the old woman's mutterings distracted me. I noticed how clumsily her skirt was hooked at the back and how the heels of her cloth boots were trodden down all to one side. The fancy came to me that the old priest was smiling as he lay there in his coffin.
But no. When we rose and went up to the head of the bed I saw that he was not smiling. There he lay, solemn and copious, vested as for the altar, his large hands loosely retaining a chalice. His face was very truculent, grey and massive, with black cavernous nostrils and circled by a scanty white fur. There was a heavy odour in the roomthe flowers.
We crossed ourselves and came away. In the little room downstairs we found Eliza seated in his arm-chair in state. I groped my way towards my usual chair in the corner while Nannie went to the sideboard and brought out a decanter of sherry and some wine-glasses. She set these on the table and invited us to take a little glass of wine. Then, at her sister's bidding, she filled out the sherry into the glasses and passed them to us. She pressed me to take some cream crackers also but I declined because I thought I would make too much noise eating them. She seemed to be somewhat disappointed at my refusal and went over quietly to the sofa where she sat down behind her sister. No one spoke: we all gazed at the empty fireplace.
My aunt waited until Eliza sighed and then said: "Ah, well, he's gone to a better world."
Eliza sighed again and bowed her head in assent. My aunt fingered the stem of her wine-glass before sipping a little. "Did he . . . peacefully?" she asked.
"Oh, quite peacefully, ma'am," said Eliza. "You couldn't tell when the breath went out of him. He had a beautiful death, God be praised."
"And everything . . .?"
"Father O'Rourke was in with him a Tuesday and anointed him and prepared him and all."
"He knew then?"
"He was quite resigned."
"He looks quite resigned," said my aunt.
"That's what the woman we had in to wash him said. She said he just looked as if he was asleep, he looked that peaceful and resigned. No one would think he'd make such a beautiful corpse."
"Yes, indeed," said my aunt.
She sipped a little more from her glass and said:
"Well, Miss Flynn, at any rate it must be a great comfort for you to know that you did all you could for him. You were both very kind to him, I must say."
Eliza smoothed her dress over her knees.
"Ah, poor James!" she said. "God knows we done all we could, as poor as we arewe wouldn't see him want anything while he was in it."
Nannie had leaned her head against the sofa-pillow and seemed about to fall asleep.
"There's poor Nannie," said Eliza, looking at her, "she's wore out. All the work we had, she and me, getting in the woman to wash him and then laying him out and then the coffin and then arranging about the Mass in the chapel. Only for Father O'Rourke I don't know what we'd done at all. It was him brought us all them flowers and them two candlesticks out of the chapel and wrote out the notice for the Freeman's General and took charge of all the papers for the cemetery and poor James's insurance."
"Wasn't that gooda of him?" said my aunt.
Eliza closed her eyes and shook her head slowly. "Ah, there's no friends like the old friends," she said, "when all is said and done, no friends that a body can trust."
"Indeed, that's true," said my aunt. "And I'm sure now that he's gone to his eternal reward he won't forget you and all your kindness to him."
"Ah, poor James!" said Eliza. "He was no great trouble to us. You wouldn't hear him in the house any more than now. Still, I know he's gone and all to that. . . ."
"It's when it's all over that you'll miss him," said my aunt.
"I know that," said Eliza. "I won't be bringing him in his cup of beef-tea any more, nor you, ma'am, sending him his snuff. Ah, poor James!"
She stopped, as if she were communing with the past, and then said shrewdly:
"Mind you, I noticed there was something queer coming over him latterly. Whenever I'd bring in his soup to him there I'd find him with his breviary fallen to the floor, lying back in the chair and his mouth open."

Dublin at the turn of the nineteenth century is this book's source of inspiration. Joyce here captures a sense of sadness, a sense of folly, and a sense of unsatisfaction in this collection of short stories. Fourteen were intended by Joyce for The Dubliners, and in this Bantom Books Reprint, the lyrically written, but awkwardly structured 'The Dead' has been included (it reads in two seemingly incongruent parts). My notables include 'A Mother', 'A Little Cloud', and 'Counterparts'. 'The Dead' is hailed by the literati as a great piece, and the second half of the story captures the distance that can occur in a marriage, the effects of a perceived affair on a husband and a woman's longing for what could have been if she'd married differently. This collection of stories is compulsory for any James Joyce reader, as it is a sharp contrast in style to Finnegan's Wake or Ulysses. I find the value in it, if one wants to be absolutely immersed in a different time and place, and read some passionately painful, realistic stories. The morals of these stories can be interpreted open-endedly, like most great art, and at times may be too subtle for the modern reader. One drawback to this edition. Shame on Bantam for not presenting the punctuation as Joyce intended. He originally demarcates his changed in dialogue with dashes, rather than standard quotation mark indicators. What is the point of reading the book how the author did not intend it read? Read the book, but choose an edition true to the author's intent.
Dubliners is a wonderful masterpiece that is insightful and cascades with beauty through its words splashed upon the pages. My personal favorite story is 'The Dead' which is Joyce's transition from his more simplistic writing into what will later become his stream of conciousness and deeply imbedded symbolism style of writing that we see in Ulysses. I recommend this to anyone. Some of the short stories are easier to read than others, but there shouldn't be any great trouble in any of them. Each story has its unique beauty and truth about the human race.
The Dubliners is a revelation into the dark side of human reasoning. It¿s a smashing book, when you are done with it you understand why people do stupid things, drink excessively or gamble (the reasoning behind it). This book is a benchmark in literary competence that everyone should read. I love this book because it gives the perspective of the lower class of Dublin children skipping school, alcoholics exedra. James Joyce has exceeded the expectations for word choice of the finest writers. It is a book of short, stories each chapter gives a different perspective of the same day in Dublin. James Joyce also wrote the Odyssey which by many standards is the hardest book to understand (in English) and is legendary for its complexity. The Dubliners retains all the richness and word of the Odyssey but everyone can (should) understand.
This is the second James Joyce book I have read and it goes to reinforce the feeling I had after reading the first that that writer is a great storyteller. In fact, I consider James Joyce's Dubliners as one of the best collection of short stories ever put together. The settings are amazing and the rich and lively characters all combine with the incredible plots to add credence to the stories. Not only are they true to life in fitting with the atmosphere that one finds in Dublin, the stories are also hilarious, subtle, and inspirational and gripping. The pace of the stories is fast and the voices are rich.
I had to read this book for my AP Literature class, but I ended up buying my own copy to keep notes in..and also because I liked it so much. I loved the message that Joyce was trying to portray with this novel: Dublin (and society as a whole) was stuck in a never-ending circle, paralyzed if you will, of drinking, passionless love and lives, materialism, meaningless faith, etc. I had never read something quite like this before, and I loved the creative grouping of the chapters into a timeline type thing. My favorite chapter was Evelyn. All in all, it was a pretty good read.
A GREAT book. If it were a good book it would show this dank, depressive, captivating and surreal world. Instead it emerses you in this world. Joyce's writing is so spontaneous. I despise being gushing but it is Joyce. The man is a genius. (I realise I should refer to him in the past tense but his writing seems to suspened his intellect and reality in time). He never resorts to the writing-by-numbers tecnique of presenting characters with a view to evoking sympathetic sentiments from the reader. Characters aren't pleasant so that you want to be their friend or unsuccesful/destructive/pathetic for the purpose of making the reader feel smug, successful and sensible. I can't recommend this book enough. It's an experience. One which you may find tiring and depressing but which is completely worthwhile. And compared to Finnegans Wake it's a walk in the park! Allows you to experience Joyce's writing without completely perplexing you (speaking from experience!)
Barnes and Noble needs to kick out all of the people that are posting solicitations and personal chats. This is for reviews of authors and books only.

Hey yall
Mia To Alex: I will ASAP 3: I thought you guys forgot about meee :D I feel much better now! I'll try to be back by either tomorrow or Wednesday!!!
Mia To All (and the Dustin dude): So, like, I miss you guys so FRIKKIN much! By everyone I mean bw, carrie, alex, doc.... You other newbies can suck it :3 But still, I lost mah nook but Im gun find it 'cause I miss being on here... PS Dustin, Delilah says "Hi"
Added this to my collection because I remember enjoying it very much as the focus of a literature course at the university in the late 1950's or early 1960s. Joyce captures the essence of every day people doing every day things. Modern Library Series has been my source for so many classics.
Bw? -DOC

Off the Bus, Into Custody
By TERRY PRISTIN
Published: September 14, 1996
ELIZABETH— When Schardrac Falaise, 20, stepped off the bus from Florida on Thursday, he was wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying two duffel bags filled with 35 handguns, Federal agents said. Mr. Falaise bought the guns in a store near Fort Lauderdale, using a fake identification card, and planned to sell the guns to street gangs in Elizabeth, Irvington and Newark, according to agents at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. He was charged with illegal trafficking of handguns.

Thanks a lot man! Your review meant a lot to me.
I don't see why people have to bash on Sonic vs Mario flashes? So what people like to use them alot , yeah.. But some of them are really awesome.
Great flash, i liked the Sonic ending. but i wasn't too thrilled about the Mario one, since.. yeah i like Sonic better, hehe. But i'm not gonna bash cause of that, you had to do it .
Anyway good work, keep up the good job.
You can go far in the contest with ur flash.
good job!
this was better than a lot of snes sprite flash animations, i also really liked the end where when mario wins, it puts his head back on his body!
WTF that was so gay

I love "the sad zombie"
I really thought this movie was good, a really good scenario.
Good graphics. Really perfect! Myabe do a series of it! why not..
Loved it.. you're good
Thanks i may continue this theme
a 1 for violence!?! come on there was a baseball bat with nails in it! :P
That was the best thing I have seen on NG this whole month!Kudos my friend!A side-note:If you are not familiar with the work of"Somebody"(author's name,of course).Please investigate that body of work;I think his shit is some of the best on NG.And I think your current submission puts you on his track of under- appreciated influence within NewGrounders who crave more than simple,lame jokes and so-called sentiment.Classic and epic,at least in my take.
I'll be sure to investigate. thanks
Nice movie
This is a cool movie you did zombies were created almost like resident evil to me.This movie is so cool
Wow. Masterful.
I loved this submission. The artwork was really interesting, I must say. Maybe it's a simple detail, but the fact you used white lines instead of black lines sorrounding the characters made it look different. I liked that.
The animation, what to say. Very good, and the close-ups fitted well with it.
Music, excellent choice. That loop was perfect for this submission.
I see a sincere effort in this. It's kind of sad, but artistic either way. The plot is interesting, and the way you put it into the movie was well done, too.The great artowork and efficent animation, combined with the plot, made this a really good submission. I wouldn't care if this goes into Frontpage, seriously. Even more, I'd like it to be into it.
Excellent effort & submission! Looking foward more!
Thanks, nice review
That was very good!
I wouldn't worry about the white lines, it definately gives it a distinct style. I really enjoyed the animation in this piece. It was well drawn, very nicely animated and smooth. I think everyone's been in the place the zombies been in, metaphorically speaking. I know I have. You've created a sympathetic character, it would be interesting to see if you could do anything else with him.
I was thinking of continueing this story idea but he dies at the end so id have to think a bit before i could use this particular guy again but i could definatly do other things with this style

The video below, part of The Atheist Voice series, discusses five good reasons to promote atheism:
This wonderful photo of a student mocking notorious campus preacher Brother Jed has been making the rounds online, especially after it received a stamp of approval from George Takei:
The "Good Country Index" recently released a list of 125 countries, all ranked in order of how much "good" they contribute to the world, based on factors such as international peace, prosperity/equality, culture, science/technology, etc. Business Insider then created a nice visual representation of the top 30 countries on that list.
In 2012, WIN-Gallup International released a global survey on religiosity, in which 57 countries were ranked according to what percentage of citizens called themselves "religious," "not religious," and "convinced atheist."
So I put the two together. Just to see if there was any correlation.
Here's an illustration that literally comes out of Creationist Ken Ham's playbook:
It shows how accepting evolution — or "reject[ing] God's Word," as Ham puts it — leads to homosexuality, abortion, racism, divorce, pornography, and euthanasia. (I'm pretty sure Ham is the guy atop the Creation Castle, grinning while shooting the wrong way because he has no idea what the hell is going on.)
Anyway, I bring this up because a version of that slide appeared in a PowerPoint presentation during Anquinette Jones' freshman biology class at Grady High School in Atlanta:
We've posted this in the past. If you've already responded, there's no need to do it again. Thanks!
Every now and then, the writers on this site will be working on a post about, say, the difference between the geology of the Grand Canyon versus city streets… and we realize it would be great if we could talk to atheists who actually study that subject! Maybe we want to quote you in the post. Or (more likely) we just need to ask you a question about geology in general.

Recent Martha's Vineyard reviews
"Last year while staying in Edgartown, we rode our bikes over to Chappy and took a guided tour of the shore line via the back of a pick up truck, it was fun and very informational. This year we decided to see if there were any actual rentals on Chappy. We were so smitten by Chappy that when we found this house, we booked it right away! We were looking for quiet, relaxation, star gazing and comfort. This house gave us all of that and more. The house is close enough to the ferry so getting to the mainland was never an issue. The house was immaculate! Unlike other rentals we've stayed in, there were adequate supplies, and a fully stocked kitchen with everything we needed to prepare our meals. With 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms we invited our son down for a couple of nights as he's a photo buff. He captured some amazing photos of the Milkyway and other stars and galaxies from the beach - it was so dark, his photos are quite amazing! We drove our jeep out onto the beach every day and enjoyed THE most perfect week of weather we've ever had! I read my books in the sun while my husband fished from shore. We brought a cooler with lunch and snacks and stayed on the beach all day! It was absolutely perfect! I can't recall a more relaxing vacation. At night we'd make dinner, grill on the deck, play board games or just read. The house is nestled on a wooded lot and very quiet. We loved it so much that we've already booked our return trip in 2016! For those wondering, we never felt isolated from real life, but were always far enough away from it to feel like we were off the beaten path. We brought our bikes but didn't ride them as much as we thought we would. We spent our days on the beach:) If you're considering Chappy, you won't find a more comfortable house to stay in! We can't wait to go back!!"Guest: Kim Date of Stay: September 2015 Review Submitted: October 1, 2015View listing
"By the Lee is a wonderful, charming home in Oak Bluffs. The pictures don't do it justice. The home's location is removed from the downtown traffic yet close enough if you want to venture into the hustle of tourist crowds. It was nice to be within distance to all of the amenities to make us feel at home such as restaurants, supermarkets, DVD rentals, bike rentals, sightseeing, etc. Six of us stayed at the home for a week. The house was large enough for each person to locate an area of the house to claim as theirs. We had a spectacular ocean view. The breeze off the water made the August heat a non issue and we experienced sunsets that were just amazing. I learned about this home from someone who stayed last year. It's all she told me it would be and I definitely recommend the home to anyone. I have already told a few friends about it. The owners greeted us upon arrival and they offer exceptional customer service. My family and I plan to return and hope to stay for 2 weeks. This was the most relaxing vacation I have taken in a long time. I could go on and on. I miss it already!!!!"Guest: Valerie T.

"Paul and Curt were wonderful hosts!! Paul contacted me early on and emailed me the ferry info, great locations to visit, etc. The home was immaculate and very spacious for my family. Having the golf cart and bikes were a plus especially when we wanted to go to town or the beaches. We were bummed we didn't have time to use their kayaks. Thank you Paul and Curt for making our stay memorable!!"Guest: Toni H. Date of Stay: May 2016 Review Submitted: June 28, 2016View listing
"My husband and I stayed here for a very belated honeymoon. The cottage was prefect for the two of us! The weather was unseasonably cold in April so we used the fireplace often. It was nice cuddling by the fire and watching one of the many movies they offer. It has a well stocked kitchen which was nice since we did a lot of our own cooking. It is close to the beach and oak bluffs which we enjoyed visiting. would definitely recommend staying here!"Guest: kristy b. Date of Stay: April 2016 Review Submitted: April 18, 2016View listing
