From all of us here at The Dolmen
we would like to say a massive and special thank you To all who have supported us by purchasing our albums over the years. The Dolmen are entirely self funded and It is only through your encouragement and support that we have been able to continue to gig & record and release the albums we do.
Ballad of Cape Clear is now the 2nd Album to be released this year.
|The Dolmen have now released their second album for 2014.
Ballad of Cape Clear-12 Tracks.
The album is dedicated to Celtic Folk music of which the Dolmen have played and promoted professionally for over 20 years releasing a staggering amount of albums within such folk genres as Piratical, Medieval and Celtic Rock. Their relentless energy and classic melodies have earned them the respect and support of the everyday folk. reigning as the unsung heroes of those who enjoy Raw Celtic Folk Music.
The album demonstrates that in the everyday life and emotions of the people their times and experiences can be and will be recorded in song and relayed gently into the future.
There is Wit, laughter, tears of loss and those of gain, happiness nostalgic memory and social philosophy, all that enriches and preserves folk songs for the people.
The album opens with the traditional classic "Rocky Road to Dublin" dedicated with the deepest of respect to the late Luke Kelly, (of The Dubliners) one of Ireland's greatest folk musicians, According to Taloch, no one has yet managed to sing this song as good as the great Luke Kelly, whose 1973 rendition will inspire people to sing the song well into the future.
The songs that follow are a tapestry of melodies of traditional bliss giving new life to some old riffs tangled in original melody and immortalized as a Celtic production.
The Album reaches a sombre climax with the song "Sisters of the Earth",sung by Kayleigh, over tribal drums and mournful fiddle in a rallying cry to the Daughters of Mother Earth.
Josh Elliott - Vocals, Banjo, Electric Guitar, Accordion, Whistle, Bouzouki,Charango
Kayleigh Marchant - Vocals, Bass Guitar, Whistle, Lyrics on Sisters of Earth.
Chris Jones - Drums, Percussion, Cajon

£12 p&p £2
"THE BANQUET" by The Dolmen.
The 14 Track album is a sincere blend of Medieval Celtic Rock,
unique to the Dolmen spirit.
Recording started at the end of September and draws upon the atmospheric influence of the 2013 tours in Europe, where the band spent much of their time gigging Medieval and Celtic festivals.
The band purposely composed 'Banquet' as a forerunner to "Nuada" a second album release due for this year in May. It was decided after they had finished their 2013 Euro Tour, that there were to many songs for Nuada, and more in production, so decided or felt compelled to compose a Celtic medieval album in Dolmen image, and so it was decided that Nuada should be split and Banquet would introduce an exciting yet bizarre theme of which the band are presently enchanted, hence now laying the foundation for 2014 the "Nuada, God of the Sun Tour" and the adventure of musical discovery.

How do i apply custom icons to programes quickly?
Hello i have got a folder full of custom icons for my programes,
Whats i mean by this is for firefox icon there is a created icon to replace the current one and so on for all my programes.
I was wondering is there any way i can apply all of the icons to the programmes quickly and at once?
I have done some already manually but i came to change the skype icon but the option "change icon" is blanked out and it does not allow me to change it,
All help would be highley appriciated,
Regards Paul

Er ... no! Well that's not quite true. It's probably possible with some very complicated scripting but by the time you'd worked that all out .... well, you get the picture (no pun intended!)
If you're not able to change an icon, check that you're not trying to apply the change to the actual executable file and not the shortcut as you intend (well, I assume you intend).

The idea is great, however, the logic behind it is not sound. The amount of work to do this would be so great that there is probably no one willing to be forth the effort to write a program to so so. So, we will have to live with the way it is done presently. Albeit, I do agree it would be nice.

no program like that so far.you need to do it manually. most of the program sort of like that will be icon packager. Other than that would be icon pack that come with auto installer and that depends on the creator of the pack itself to provide it. more of them would come in png and ico extension whereby you need to install it on your own

Yesterday, Habs GM dealt misunderstood/misused/missthenet defenseman Raphael Diaz to the Canucks for some guy named Dale Wiese. My initial reaction was something along the lines of *headdesk*. Diaz is a useable guy who had become useless to Therrien for reasons only known to the Habs coach. Whether it was a lack of physicality or lack of scoring (he hasn't beaten an NHL goalie in a long, long time, folks), Diaz found himself on the bench for the last 8 games.
Pretty clear that he's not in the team's plans especially now with Beaulieu in the mix, so Bergevin shipped him out to the West Coast, where he's free to take Yannick Weber's job for a second time.
Of course, the Habs can't make a single move without generating utter madness among the fanbase, so it came as no surprise that the interwebs were lit aflame when news of the trade broke. Sure, a few people who want the Habs to get bigger approved of the trade. For the most part, however, the trade made people upset; not because of the trade itself, but because of the mindset that it represents. Bergevin during his short tenure as Habs GM has made a habit of bringing in bottom-six forwards and bottom-pairing defensemen. Surely more was expected, and definitely more talent is needed, so this move is an exercise in exasperation. Instead of trading Diaz for virtually nothing, people wondered, why didn't they:
- Actually play Diaz over Murray?
- Get more for a guy that the advanced stats say is a good d-man?
- Get a draft pick for him?
- Keep him?
We can cry about Murray all we want, but the Habs like him. Why didn't they get more for Diaz? Because he wasn't worth much thanks to his own inability to produce. Sure he may be efficient as a D-man, but perceptions are hard to shake and Diaz is seen as an offensive guy who can help a powerplay, which he didn't do. So long, trade value. Being benched for 8 straight games? R.I.P. trade value. Why didn't Bergevin just take a mid-round pick rather than a useless player who will likely be in the AHL next year? That's a good question, and all I can imagine is that the Canucks don't want to part with assets, either. Smart thinking. Finally, why didn't the Habs just keep him? Well…with Subban, Gorges, Emelin, Beaulieu and perhaps Markov all laying claim to top-4 slots for 2014-15, where does Diaz fit? As a UFA, it's his chance to cash in, and unless he's dumb, he probably has no interest in being a bottom pair guy in Montreal. Just a guess.
So while we can piss and moan until the sun goes down about Bergevin picking up yet another useless, insignificant player, we can and should take some comfort in the fact that he did not and has not moved any prized prospects or draft picks for short-term rentals to save the current season. Diaz may have been sabotaged as an asset and shipped in a trade that was totally unnecessary, but in the end, had he scored a goal against an NHL goalie in the last 2 calendar years (January 21, 2012 was the last time he scored a real goal), maybe he would have retained his value all by himself.

It would appear Bishop Benny that Brembo or GPOne have confusingly called Laguna's turn two their turn one.
About the only thing these figures show, other than the litre machines having a little more top end poke, is the latest generation Brembo's are able to impart more force. Shorter braking distances from a higher speed and 37% less time on the anchors, yet no additional g-force? It doesn't really add up. Baffle them with bullshit eh?
Bottom line is the Repsol boys thnk they could go quicker on last years rubber. I haven't heard Lorenzo's take on this other than him saying the 2012 rubber goes off much quicker than the 2011 stuff. Who are we to doubt their assertions?
As always Wosi no skin off my nose. I think I give as good as I take. Although as a devout VR'er you do an awful lot of taking, so I'm happy!
[This Reply has been modified by the Author]
or worse than the 800's even our leader of sheep? Higher entry and higher exit speeds are more likely to be products of more engine, not better tyres. The time must be lost (to bring times back to 800 levels) by less mid corner speed. Given the actual chassis' of these machines are very similar to their 800 brethren then the lost time must come down to tyres that aren't as good as their predecessors.
They're coping pretty well the Repsol boys given their problems. But this of course is what top flight riders do - find a way to compete and minimise the weaknesses of their machine.

Stoner was one of the most vociferous in condemning the old tyres. The riders got what they wanted.
Everybody else has dealt with the measley 4kg weight increase without whining, added to benefit CRTs. The Japs lied to cover up the vote.
Earlier in the year he had a right pop at his crew for assuming he could ride round chatter issues. HRC have worked their socks off to bring him a new chassis. A couple of laps and he parks it in the truck, refusing to test it properley.
Stoner has won 4/10, Pedrosa has been off the rostrum with a 4th once. Without Lorenzo, Repsol would be 1st & 2nd..by a long way. There's not a lot wrong with their bike or the tyres they have been using.
His dud tyre claim at Silverstone was exposed by the lap times as shite. Repsol have not suffered any chunking..unlike Ducati and Yamaha. When he's not sticking it in the gravel, he's generally fastest.
The guy is a natural when it comes to making dumb excuses and just loves a good old moan. Aussies are well known for it.
..that unlike most other riders on the grid, he has an innate ability to ride around issues and still win races. Wosi, both you and our friend Benny seem to be forgetting the Yamaha and the Honda are fundamentally different machines with different characteristics. The fact the new tyres work for one factory don't necessarily mean they'll work well for another. Just ask Rossi about how well his front tyre was working at Laguna and it might shed some light on the subject for you both!!....

What can you say about Casey,well,a lot of things really but his riding speaks for itself & it speaks volumes.Yes Im a Lorenzo fan,yes I wanted Jorge to win but theres no denying Casey is incredible when he gets it together.
The guy is an amazing talent & the only real threat to Jorge as far as Im concerned.He is amazing to watch & has left his mark on Moto GP history as one of the best Moto GP riders ever.I support Jorge Lorenzo but I have nothing but respect for his dedliest rival,Casey Stoner & I will be very sorry to see him retire at the end of this year.
All said I still want to see Jorge take the championship this year & prove he is the better rider if only by a nats wisker.

Haven't ever heard stoner complain about dovi. Given he apparently has such a propensity to complain, one can only assume he considers him to be fairly negligible.
for that link Rev..like you, I am almightily impressed with Dovi this year and even though my patriotic tendancy is to support Cal, there is liitle doubt who actually does deserve the #2 factory Yamaha seat.
Such a personable young fella, with solid values too.
When was stoner vociferous in complaining about the old tyres? He did complain about riders pushing too hard on them when they were cold, but not to my knowledge about the tyres themselves.What exactly is hrc's secret tyre agenda? Again the only thing I have heard from nakomoto is that he didn't see why bridgestone couldn't produce both versions of the new tyre having developed them. Perhaps you know the answer to this.

'Operation Second Wind' Released for Combat Arms SuperCheats News
Game publisher Nexon America has released 'Operation Second Wind' for its online first person shooter, 'Combat Arms'. This new content includes a battle map in a market called Bloodbath Bazaar, adds new game modes to its Death Row map, adds user interface improvements and new weapons to its enormous armory.

The map allows for tactics such as all-assault as teams vie to control the map�s two courtyards. The map gives ample cover and high-windows for skilled snipers to take down their enemies. A stealthy player can also use the market�s many shade-giving awnings to jump from to out-flank and surprise their enemies.
'Operations Second Wind' also adds changes to its Death Row map, enabling One Man Army, Spy Hunt, Quarantine Regen and Last Man Standing game play modes. The update also improves the user interface including an updates shop image view, an ignore list and better video recording information. Adding to its more than 300 gun arsenal, 'Combat Arms' has added the G18 Carbon Black pistol and the Tristar Cobra Force pump-action shotgun.

As you will be 'Sir' to my good friend Kalai. I knew you as a mentor and a great teacher. He knew you as a father figure. But today, both of us are alone. Sir, Kalai called me from Cambodia where he had gone for a conference a few days back. He is doing very well. He told me how much I still had to learn from Pandian Sir. He told me to re-read your writings on Periyar and the Dravidian movement. You had so much confidence and faith in him. He was your prodigal son. He was with you in your last hours. How could you leave him? How could you leave us? Where are you?
You have inspired countless students. You have left your indelible mark in the academia. You are, without doubt, the foremost among Tamil intellectuals. You have stuck to your principles. You defended Periyar and that great old man's principles in a context when a horde was out to unjustly defame him. You were tooth and nail opposed to all forms of casteism and exposed how it operates both at the level of the political and the personal. You have always stood by the cause of the oppressed. At a time when several Tamil intellectuals behaved in a most unprincipled manner, you said in the middle of a class in JNU that you supported the LTTE's cause. You supported Kashmir even before it became popular in Tamil Nadu. You, the eternal iconoclast, took on several icons and brought them down. Can I talk of certain really subversive acts that you did during your tenure in JNU? Or maybe that is strictly between us? You have been a great family man to your wife and your daughter. You have been a great human being. What have we lost? What has the world of the South Asian oppressed lost? A Sartre? A Fanon? A Gramsci? I know that you would say that I am being too emotional here. Go ahead and say it Sir, with that affectionate laughter that accompanies whenever you chide me. But where are you?
You taught me to re-evaluate my political understanding. You taught me to challenge everything I thought I knew. You introduced Zizek, Schmitt, Sontag and Agamben to me. You re-introduced Periyar to me. You helped shape my PhD proposal. You gave me academic references. You gave me invaluable feedback on my chapters even though you were pressed for time. But there was so much still left for you to teach me. But where are you?
You dropped several words of wisdom to me in your lighter moments. "Karthick, cook for the one you love." "Karthick, don't take yourself too seriously." "Karthick, at times, letting go can be as important as holding on." "Karthick, there is fine difference between a pamphleteer and an academic." "Karthick, understand the line between being and acting." Have I grasped them all? I need you to tell me. But where are you?
I know that I could not push my intellectual horizons as much as you wished me to. I know that you were disappointed that I could never transcend the nationalist paradigm. You thought it was your failure. No Sir, it was mine. Maybe this is what I am meant to be, what I need to be. This might be our eternal disagreement. More than anything else, I would love to debate with you just to hear you prove me wrong. But where are you?
In our last conversation a few days back on gchat I told you "you were the best teacher I had. but I am still structurally unable to transcend the 'alternative nationalism' paradigm."
You replied, "Get rid of the thesis. We will have a long long conversation. That is a promise. Bye, brother. :)"
I will be done with my thesis soon. I will come to Chennai soon. The glasses will be full again soon. There will be a long, long conversation soon. But where is your promise? Where are you?
Maybe you are still here. Maybe you always will be.
Friend. Comrade. Guide.
Check Your Tamil 'Progressive Intellectual' Privilege
After deep consideration, discussion and deliberation for about 20 minutes, we decided that Tamil 'progressive intellectuals' have too many privileges in our society. So, since we are pretty jobless at the moment, and since we also want to try fighting privileges by naming and shaming instead of participating in deep theoretical and political struggles, we have come out with the following list of privileges that Tamil 'progressive intellectuals' have. We use 'progressive intellectual' as a generic pejorative term to designate those writers, journalists, academics, artists, (non)thinkers, poets, sculptors, wine-shop owners, dappankuthu dancers, etc. who consider themselves as 'progressive intellectuals' and feel that it is their task to criticize real or imagined injustices even if they are absolutely clueless on how to change them, who also take it as their divine right to pass judgments on people's movements.
We place 'progressive intellectuals' within single quotes because that sounds a lot cooler.
These points were jointly written by myself, Catwoman*, and Bane*. Mostly myself [expects standing ovation]. Many thanks to Magneto* and Mystique* for their feedback. [*Names changed to protect identities.]
Please, please, please like and share this post. The authors will also send private mails/fb messages/tweets to their contacts appealing to circulate this post as much as possible.
- You call yourself a 'progressive intellectual'. That is the first joke. A bad one at that.
- You think your lived experience validates your political position. FYI, it doesn't.
- You do not want to take responsibility for your choices.
- You want to criticize everyone who has contributed in practical terms to the Tamil cause, be it Periyar or Pirapaharan. Fine. But if your criticism is criticized, you react like a monkey whose ass is on fire.
- You demand the freedom to criticism as an inviolable right, but you can stay aloof from a people's movement while judging it in your terms.
- You can have no knowledge of Tamil history, politics, culture, art or philosophy but can still claim validity to your arguments just because of lived experience.
- You say that there is no essential Tamil culture and yet use an essentialized notion of a Tamil culture to condemn it.
- You can only identify differences in Tamil society – and there are many indeed – but you would deliberately thwart all attempts to create a unity.
- The reason you would give for doing the above is that you claim to oppose the domination of a particular region, caste, or gender. Nothing new. That was Karuna's rationale for splitting.
- You want to solve the problem of class, caste, gender and region disparities by just talking (mostly whining) about the same. The idea of these being resolved in a struggle led by a genuinely progressive party does not strike you.
- This brings us to the next point – you want to replace political struggle with political correctness. Since we do not want to be like you, we want to say that we think that you are a bunch of whiny wimps.
- You want to celebrate the difference of identities while refusing to acknowledge that a brutal free market capitalism precisely thrives on the proliferation of different identities.
- Your excuse for political and theoretical bankruptcy is usually a sad life story designed to provoke cheap sympathy.
- You (half)read Marxists, anti-racists, feminists and other culture critics from a western context and try to apply their methodologies to a totally different Tamil context. Again, you will explain your lack of originality with a sad story.
- You take Marxism totally out of context and judge social revolutionaries like Periyar for being 'reformist' or a liberation struggle like LTTE for being 'fascist'.
- Your idea of feminism or gender justice is derived solely from advanced liberal democracies. The gender justice of movements like the LTTE, PKK, FARC are anathema to you.
- To quote the bard, your wit makes wise things foolish.
- You think a dozen likes by dullards on facebook has won you allies and you write in a manner to appeal to their unrefined emotions. You are the Tamil academic version of TR Silambarasan. [And the authors apologize to simbu for this analogy]
- You can call Tamil Nadu activists as 'mobs' and 'fascists' when they democratically criticize an anti-Eelam movie, but remain conveniently silent when the Indian state bans and censors pro-Eelam movies.
- You can ally with a thoroughly brahminical CPI(M) to degrade Tamil nationalists and Periyarists.
- You can use brahminical establishments and the space that they provide to condemn Tamil society as casteist.
- You can claim to be above the Tamil identity while at the same time forcing Tamils to subscribe to micro-identities. If you can transcend your Tamil identity, why cannot Tamils transcend their caste identity?
- You can drop terms like intersectionality in abstract without any principled consideration or sober assessment of the concrete.
- You can claim to oppose White-imperialist-capitalist-patriarchy (only because that's the easiest way to get attention) but you welcome the pro-LLRC US resolution.
- Tell the truth. You are afraid of freedom.
[points 26-999 are just repetitions of above points, reworded in more cool sounding academese.]
1000. Ok. We need to go out now. It's SATURDAY. WE HAVE A LIFE. To quote the bard again, you are not worth another word.
1001. But maybe we can spare three words as a goodbye. Piss off losers.
Some wars are more brutal
Some pains more poignant
Some tears more salty
Some screams more loud
Some children more innocent
Some genocides more terrible
Some oppressors more horrible
Some pictures more aesthetic
More newsworthy
More solidarityworthy
More worthy, always more worthy
Sometimes 1000 is a world tragedy
Sometimes 150000 is just a local statistic
Every bomb
Every bullet
Every shrapnel
Every death
Every torture
Every widow
Every orphan
We are weakened
but not weak
We are scarred
but not crippled
We are without power
but not without strength
And we have counted
So that
we can repay with interest

A Very Short Sketch of Comrade Iyer, a Marxist
He was actually a Brahmin, but
Popularly known in party circles as Comrade Iyer, Balasubramaniam Iyer, or "Balls" as he was affectionately called by close friends and family, was the second son of Vishwanathan Iyer (critically acclaimed director known for his path breaking movies) and Mythili Iyer (classical dancer). When little Balls was eight, the year was 1992, the Iyer family moved into a posh bungalow in Alwarpet, Chennai, the year when Hindu nationalists demolished an old unused mosque called Babri Masjid in the state of Uttar Pradesh triggering riots across the country, an event on which Mr. Iyer senior would make what is now called in Chennai circles 'an intellectual film' three years later which would win a few national awards following which your average Chennai film lover would refer to Vishwanathan Iyer as "Iyer Sir" alone because of Iyer Sir's ability to churn out movies that were placed on par, according to influential journalists like M. Vishnu of the Mount Road Daily, with those of a Scorcese, a Kurosawa, a Satyajit Ray. Vishnu's review of Iyer Sir's Roses (1998), a movie about the life of a Madras Regiment soldier posted in Kashmir, proudly concluded that the movie "put the Tamil in the Indian and the Indian in the Tamil."
Mythili, originally Mythili Seshadri before she became Mrs. Iyer, was a product of Kalakshetra, South India's world renowned school of Bharatanatyam, a classical dance that has been associated with the urban culture of the socially refined. Prior to the 20th century, it was called dasi aatam, the dance of prostitutes, but that is a different story. Before she met Iyer Sir, Mythili performed at national and international concerts, hosted TV shows, won several awards and acted in a couple of films. It is important to let the readers know here that unlike her father Mr. Seshadri, a conservative Brahmin who frowned upon inter-caste marriages, who suffered a fatal heart-attack in November 2004 when he heard the news that police had arrested the Sankaracharya of Kanchipuram in a murder case, Mythili was of a liberal orientation who did not attach a value to caste and it was just a matter of coincidence that Iyer Sir whom she fell in love with was of the same caste. After she married Iyer Sir she was content to be a happy socialite actively involved in charity. Disabled children, orphans, old age homes, you name it. So, it was into such a family of cosmopolitan high culture and liberal thoughts that Balls, our Comrade Iyer, the future central committee member of the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), was born.
One thing which struck Balls when he was five was that both his paternal and maternal grandparents, not to mention many of his male relatives, wore a white thread diagonally across their torso. But his father did not have one. "It's the sacred thread. It means that we are Brahmins, the learned caste," Iyer Sir told him. "But I don't believe in this ritual, this caste symbol. So I don't wear it." Little Balls asked in all innocence "Can I get to have one?" Iyer Sir laughed. "You don't need it. It does not matter. It is an old custom."
By the time he was 15, when he was a student at Krishnamurthi Foundation and was dating Aparna Ramani, Balls was well versed with the classics of world literature. He was familiar with the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Bhagavad Gita (which he would later, when he was 32, defend as the first dialectical materialist text of the Indian philosophical tradition), works of Homer, the comedies of Shakespeare, the novels of Dickens, Twain, Sterne, Keats, Byron and Shelley. For his 18th birthday, M. Vishnu, who was by now a good family friend of the Iyers, gifted Balls the Communist Manifesto and Motorcycle Diaries. Balls did not sleep that night, and on the next day, was twice-born as a communist. As Comrade Iyer.
Thereafter, he could see oppression everywhere in Chennai. A gigantic Malar hospital in Adyar, one of the most expensive healthcare facilities in the city, overlooked a settlement of the poor on the banks of the dirty backwaters of the Cooum river where malaria and dysentery was rampant. The Marina beach, probably Chennai's most well known public place, was home to several large slums that figured in the news only when the Tsunami hit them. While working class neighbourhoods were congested and suffered from lousy sanitation facilities, posh localities were emerging, dispossessing the poor of their lands, to provide better services for a creamy layer. In contrast, look at Calcutta, Havana, Beijing, Hanoi…
Comrade Iyer could also not be blind to caste violence in the state of Tamil Nadu. His heart bled for the Dalits, who, he felt, were cheated and oppressed by the successive Dravidian regimes. The DMK, which came into power on the wave of student agitations of the 1960s, Annadurai, Karunanidhi, MGR, the AIADMK, Jayalalitha all contributed to the strengthening of the non-Brahmin castes at the expense of the Dalits. Whereas, in the West Bengal of Jyoti Basu and Buddhadeb Bhattacharya, there was no caste at all! To what sublime heights did the philosophy of Marxism take the people of Bengal and in what squalid wretchedness did Tamil Nadu still suffer! "The problem you see," Vishnu uncle explained one day at his office "is that the Dravidian movement was ideologically flawed from the start. Periyar, for instance, had no knowledge of political economy. Therefore, the Dravidian movement failed." A very intelligent friend of the author, however, has a different and more elaborate explanation. To state it shortly, Periyar had no knowledge of phenomenological ontology, therefore the Dravidian movement failed.
In 2008, Comrade Iyer cleared the entrance test for the prestigious Modern History M.A. course at Jawaharlal Nehru University or JNU as it is commonly known in Indian academia, the strongest red bastion of India and the nurturing ground for revolutionary conquistadors, and was lodged in Kaveri hostel, which was a five minute walk from Ganga Dhaba, the informal hub of thinker-activists who would breathe Gramsci, speak Althusser and drink to Guevara, and there would be all types of leftists there, those who believe in parliamentary democracy, those who call the parliament a pigsty, those who take a middle-path because Comrade Lenin said so in 'Left-wing communism: An Infantile Disorder', those who say that India is semi-feudal semi-colonial and begs for a protracted people's war, those who angrily reject this thesis and point out that Indian nationalism was and is a bulwark against imperialist expansionism, those who reject both because the day was not far off when the workers of the world will come together to wage the glorious permanent revolution…
Comrade Iyer, much like his roommate Debabrata Ghosh, was convinced that the CPI-M alone represented the best interests of the country and the controversies around alleged police brutalities in Singur and Nandigram were just conspiracies floated by ultra-left and ultra-right groups to discredit the noble work that the CPI-M had done for the people for Bengal, and his passionate commitment to gender justice apart, sheer logic compelled him to reason, in Lacanian fashion, that the rape of Tapasi Malik by CPI-M cadres could not have happened, because had it happened, the perpetrators could not have been CPI-M cadres, and thus, with all sincerity, even as he slogged his behind off for the rigorous papers in his course, he joined the Students' Federation of India (SFI), his cherished party's students' wing.
These were the happiest days for Comrade Iyer, in the company of those Indians who shared his beliefs, in the 1500 acre big JNU campus, probably the only place in New Delhi where a woman wearing shorts and a t-shirt could walk alone without fear at 2am, the discussions on the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution over endless cups of tea, enjoying the weekly dinner at Mughal Durbar, where Comrade Iyer would be the only person going vegan, of course, not owing to some caste prejudice as he did enjoy his occasional peg of Absolut Vodka, but rather as a matter of taste.
Being a true internationalist, Comrade Iyer organized meetings, protests and rallies both in and out of campus for the cause of the world oppressed. The sanctions on Cuba. The Iraq war. And when the Gaza War happened, where about 1200 Palestinians were killed, which occurred roughly in the same period when about 100000 plus Tamils were killed by the Sri Lankan military, Comrade Iyer organized a series of demonstrations in front of the Israeli and American embassies notwithstanding the cold, rain, storms and hail for the cause of Palestine because, as I said before, he was a true internationalist above parochial Tamil sentiments and besides, Comrade Iyer intuitively knew that Hamas was progressive and revolutionary but LTTE was patriarchal and fascist, which is actually interesting because his elder brother, Natarajan Iyer, a foreign policy analyst with the LDTV, condemned the LTTE because it was uberleftist. Anyway, it is not productive here to talk any more about the elder sibling because he had never had any influence whatsoever on Comrade Iyer. Yes, while the elder Iyer was into Gayatri Mantra, the younger Iyer was into Grundrisse.
However, not everything was smooth for Comrade Iyer and if he could identify the proverbial fly in the ointment it would be K. Raja, thin, dark, with horn-rimmed glasses, MPhil student at the Department of Sociology, an intransigent pro-LTTE activist, a Periyarite, who became notorious in the campus for burning an image of the Hindu god Rama in October 2008, who wore one shirt for 6 days and a pant for a month, single, from Tirunelveli, president of the JNU Tamil Students' Union, a three member organization that acted as though it was the representative of all the Tamils in New Delhi. "If Dravidian movement failed because of Kilvenmani, then parliamentary Marxism died with the Morichjhapi massacre," Raja pompously proclaimed at a SFI public meeting on caste politics in Tamil Nadu.
Comrade Iyer, the archetypal argumentative Indian, believed in convincing individuals through dialogue but Raja was incorrigible. He knew that Raja was a non-Brahmin, probably a Pillai, or a Nadar, and when he asked Raja in the course of a casual conversation what his caste was, the fellow snapped.
"That is none of anyone's business."
"I am actually a Brahmin, but I am also a communist. So caste does not matter to me. If it does not matter to you, why can't you state it?"
Logical question.
"And besides, though you guys have hidden your caste titles, you cannot elude the fact it is only the non-Brahmin castes of Tamil Nadu who oppress the Dalits."
To which the crazy chap replied, "Well, then I suppose the class enemy of the proletarian is not the capitalist system but the police constable who pushes him around."
The heated argument continued and Comrade Iyer was firm in his position that it was Marx who mattered more to Tamil Nadu than Periyar. When the irascible Raja accused him of being a Brahminical casteist, Comrade Iyer angrily retorted that Rupini Nair, his Malayalee girlfriend, a feminist and a passionate SFI member (who was later to become his wife), was a proper non-Brahmin. Raja was wrong, as were his ideological forefathers who resorted to unrefined Brahmin bashing to flee from pressing questions of class privilege. Though Raja himself was from a family of agricultural labourers, his reasoning as such was bourgeois and Comrade Iyer would never entertain a debate with him again.
By the time he reached his final semester, Comrade Iyer had gained a goatee, lost a few pounds and his virginity, learned to roll a joint properly, impressed most of the faculty at the History department with his presentations that were proof of his eclectic knowledge, made a name for himself as someone who had a flair for sophistication, and was advised by Prof. Ambika Venkataraman, a party sympathizer, to apply to the Department of History at Oxford where one Prof. Vinay Shastri, an expert in South Asian postcolonial studies, would be an excellent supervisor for his line of research interest.
Needless to say, given Comrade Iyer's background – his academic background I mean – and the powerful recommendations he got from lecturers at JNU, walking into Oxford, with a scholarship, was a breeze for Comrade Iyer.
And the erstwhile colonized was now at the heart of the Empire, he thought. Ha. Skype calls with Rupini once in three days and not once did he contemplate breaking up. In Chennai, Iyer Sir got his ninth national award for his movie Heart, a touching family drama about a love story of a Telugu guy and a Manipuri girl. It was a beautiful tale much like that of Comrade Iyer who got married to the one true love of his life when he returned home for summer vacations. But Rupini did not change her surname to Iyer but to Balasubramaniam.
At Oxford, Comrade Iyer submitted his dissertation on 'Parallel voices: Dalit narratives and the Dravidian movement' which, of course, was a completely non-partisan account of how the Dravidian movement, in the guise of fighting Brahminism, was only interested in constructing a non-Brahmin hegemony caring little about the liberation of Dalits and how Dalits found their own autonomous voice of subalternity by constructing their particularities through lived experiences. Comrade Iyer who had transcended caste long ago could always be objective in whatever intellectual project he undertook and he later got a job as the associate editor of Political and Economic Monthly.
And even though his thesis did not mention Marx even once, his rise in the ranks of the party was meteoric, for the party, which had completely discarded caste, laid great emphasis on promoting persons of merit.
A Reading List for Political Activists
Below, I have compiled a list of 35 must read texts for activists involved in radical political projects. I have selected works on political positions of all types, philosophy, history, military strategy, literature, which I believe would greatly assist activists in their understanding of the world today. I have arranged them in no particular order – I just listed them as they came to my mind. So you might be surprised to find Hitler placed along with Gramsci, Huntington with Marx, and Arendt with Sartre. Each of these texts are, in my opinion, the best representations of certain political/ethical/philosophical perspectives that activists need to be familiar with. For instance, a good understanding of fascism, right-wing propaganda, and the idea of the 'authoritarian personality' is totally impossible without being familiar with Mein Kampf. Likewise, Civil War in France provides an excellent account of how a ruling class can and will deal with a crisis, especially if the oppressed are not willing to go the extra-mile to overthrow the powers that reign. Moore's graphic novel Watchmen informs us what true political heroism is in the figure of Adrian Veidt. Each of the texts that I have selected provides a unique perspective on practical and ethical political questions that confront activists today. I hope it is of some assistance. If you have any suggestions, feel free to comment.

More than the fascination of Hindus with Nazism, Nazis have had a fascination with Hinduism. Why not? It is the perfect philosophy of slavery, rigid division of labor and racism that has survived for millennia without one major slave revolt. On the other hand, their contempt for the Judeo-Christian tradition was well recorded. Take for instance Savitri Devi Mukherjee. Born as Maximinaini Portas in France, with a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Lyon, she traveled across the world in search of pure Aryan race and culture. Arriving in India, she was fascinated by the native paganic Hindu traditions which she believed was uncorrupted aryanism. She converted to Hinduism and married a Bengali Brahmin (pure race idea in practice) who was part of the Indian nationalist struggle. In her eyes, Hitler was an avatar of Vishnu who was born on earth to redeem the aryan race. Denying holocaust, advocating death penalty for non-vegetarians, the purging of Abrahamic religions from India were some of her bright ideas.
Call me Eurocentric, but I prefer the "colonial" Judeo-Christian civilizational tradition any day to the hegemonic barbarisms from the "native" third world.

X-Men: Future Imperfect
"X-Men: Days of Future Past" is an unashamed defense of American liberalism. Whether past or future, liberal democracy and multicultural tolerance is the end of history. On the good side, the young Magneto (Michael Fassbender) is not just awesome – he is awe-inspiring (he makes Wolverine played by Hugh Jackman look like a street punk). Confronting his partner who wants to assassinate an individual bad guy among the humans, he says that this one guy is not the problem, rather "they are". Concomitantly, he is the only truly political person in the movie, who knows what war is, who knows who the enemies are, and who knows that struggle – not reconciliation – is the only way out.
On another note, every time I recollect the below conversation from the earlier "X-Men: First Class", I get goosebumps. Pretty much sums up what our relation to the Sinhalese – "innocent" or not – must be like.
"Professor X: Erik, you said yourself we're the better men. This is the time to prove it. There are thousands of men on those ships. Good, honest, innocent men! They're just following orders.
Magneto: I've been at the mercy of "men just following orders". Never again."

I really don't know a whole lot about batteries accept that they make my accessories work when hooked up correctly.
So I assume that the 31 group will give me a longer run time (trolling motor) or longer periods between charges versus the 27 group and the 29 would be some place in between? Is this the only reason or is there more? Does a 12 volt versus a 24 volt versus 36 volt motor make any difference as to the group size?
I have read several times on IDO to buy the largest battery possible (31 or 29)that will fit and can afford, but why?

Two soldiers from Fort Carson's 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division have been killed in Afghanistan, according to Fort Carson's Chief of Media Relations.
Corporal Justin Clouse, 22, of Sprague, Washington and Private Aaron Toppen, 19, of Mokena, Illinois, both died June 9.
Clouse had served 2 years, 4 months in the military and was in the midst of his second tour in Afghanistan. He had been stationed at Fort Carson since June 2012. Toppen had been in the military for 11 months and died just one month into his first deployment to Afghanistan. He arrived at Fort Carson in November.
Fort Carson said of the casualties, "It is always hard to lose a part of our military family. Our thoughts and prayers are with Corporal Clouse and Private Toppen's family and friends during this very difficult time."

text: Mike Judge Trains Comic Crystal Ball on CA's 'Silicon Valley' Print article Send a Tip by Christian Toto 6 Apr 2014 post a comment Mike Judge saw the connection between music videos and couch potatoes, and a crudely animated show called Beavis & Butt-head was born. Judge's comic crystal ball, as it turned out, was just warming up. Now, as his new HBO comedy Silicon Valley preps for its debut, it's time to recall Judge's journey as a balanced observer of modern culture. The mild-mannered Judge segued from dysfunctional teens to cubicle drones with Office Space, arguably the biggest cult film of our workplace age. From there, he found comic gold via flyover country with King of the Hill, a loving look at a conservative dad that ran for 13 years on FOX. His commercial results haven't always matched his artistry, but his instincts rarely let audiences down. Judge's Idiocracy was a box office dud, crippled in part by a lackluster marketing campaign. Today, it stands alongside Office Space as a cult favorite that captured a trashy media wave that hit our shores sooner than expected. It's hard to watch any outrageous reality show and not remember Idiocracy's faux series, Ow! My Balls! Judge's 2009 comedy Extract couldn't recreate the workplace magic of Office Space, but he found more ripe material with that year's short-lived sitcom The Goode Family. Consider it a sharper assault on the progressive mindset than the similarly kind-hearted Portlandia. Like those South Park rascals Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Judge goes where the jokes lead him, be it to the left or right. Office Space isn't a love letter to capitalism, but The Goode Family showed that Judge understood a gap in the marketplace regarding liberal comedy targets and did his best to fill it. Judge's Silicon Valley may strike similar, ideologically diverse paydirt. Few writers "get" their subject like Judge, and the fizzy combination of geeky achievement and untold riches seems ripe for Judge's point of view. Early reviews are nothing short of ecstatic. Time magazine dubbed it "the funniest out-of-the-box pay cable comedy in a good while." Judge's Achilles heel has been the entertainment industry's lack of patience. The Goode Family wasn't given a chance to grow its audience. Idiocracy was deemed too arcane to warrant a marketing push worthy of its jokes. HBO, for all its liberal inclinations, is unusually patient with its original product. From the early reviews and buzz, though, Judge's latest may not need such a protected launch. Silicon Valley airs at 10 p.m. EST Sunday nights on HBO.

Initial photos of Russian Women posted!
Ok Check out the images below. I've only posted a few pics for now but I have more to put up later.
i loved seeing this nice and buityfull young lade mascha ,about russian women i hope she is married and is on her way to who she is very nice. i will miss her this 74 yr old men, but russia does have the moust wunderfull girls but im to late i come from long ago and my god is waiteting for me love you take care richard…………………….
This is my first time came across this wonderful, enthusiastic, lively, and cultural website dedicated to Russian women. Every Russian women photos show their values, morals, cultures, disciplines, orderliness, and self confident. Each woman facials and features capture the essential quality of every human lives on earth.
Dear rw_man,
I am looking for some directions and recommendations for my search such as reliable websites, who is real and who is not, do's and don'ts, tips and treats, plans and expectations, and everything else that I need to know. For example, I would like to travel to Moscow but I then need to take a train or bus way in the outback region of Russia such as Sanchyrsk. ***Please email me if you find my questions are too detail, personal, or inappropriate.***
Thanks in advance…
It's only been a few days since I started my research into Russian Women. I have always heard a lot about the subject and have always been interested but until I stopped travelling so much I really didn't pay that much attention to it. Ironic….I know! I started my research because once I finally stopped travelling I realized I was a bit lonely and wanted to meet someone special. Being an American might explain why I started looking into Russia. To make a short story of this, I was a construction site manager and a good one at that but in 2007 I was told that I had to find a new line of work due to my poor little feet giving out on me. Again being an American at the end of the Bush Administration (the worst economic times of my life) and being told to find a new career was quite a blow to the head. The first thing I did was research career outlooks for future jobs and the Medical and Information Technology fields looked most promising. So, I started a new college career as if that is what I really needed at my early 40's. I chose Information Technology because I was already considered an expert by many. I stayed at it for a while then thought better of it. I had been successful in my own business before so I started a new business in the entertainment industry supporting music.
I know this doesn't seem like it has anything to do with Russian Women but please bare with me. You see, I built this business that I love and it's a tough business to be in and not for anyone. When I started to look for a Life Partner, I wanted to find someone really special. Someone that would be able to accept me (an older man) and my way of life. I wanted to start a relationship with someone much younger than I am because I want them to have what I have built when I am gone and to keep building it.
Now, I have learned a lot in just a few extensive days and I know I have so much more to learn and the best way for me to get the knowledge I need is to network. I started looking for a relationship and now I am considering restructuring my business to go international starting with Russian Pop Music and mixing it with what I have already established here in America and taking it international. I would like to hear all your thoughts on this and look forward to your replies.
Hello TimL,
I enjoyed your post, and admire your perseverance.
As far as I am concerned, you or anyone else can take the advice Rw_man, the owner of this site, has provided here to the bank. Naturally, there are exceptions and contradictions to every rule, cliche, and piece of good advice, but time and the experience of many, many people have confirmed his knowledge and wisdom.
I think you are wise to network. Thankfully, literally thousands of men can be of assistance to you. By and large, most are courteous and extremely helpful.
Please be aware of the "mines" in the field, but don't be discouraged by them. As in America, the good people in that land will bring a lot of joy into your life. Best of luck to you.
For what its worth, I think that almost any sound business plan which ties Eastern and Western ideologies for mutual profit is a good plan. It has been far too long that bloated egos and failed politics have stood in the way of the practical exchange of cultures.
You are sure right that the music industry is not for just anyone. Whether a simple bar room performer or a full blown producer and promoter, the world of music and entertainment is a fickle and unforgiving mistress. However it is still one of the most universal of all forms of expression.
Best of luck in your endeavor. I hope we'll hear many exciting updates.
When I read Larry King's comments about the late Elizabeth Taylor, I thought that he had delivered an eloquent and beautiful eulogy. Here's what he had to say:
When Hannity asked what made Taylor special, King replied, 'She didn't have a line cut between brain and mouth. You asked her a question; she answered it. She was not fearful of what public opinion thought of her. She fought the battle for AIDS before Rock Hudson had AIDS … She stood up for Michael Jackson in his worst days. It didn't matter if you agreed with her or not, it was her ability to be so forceful for so many things and loyalty… If she was your friend Sean, she was your friend, you can't buy loyalty."
I know little or nothing about Elizabeth Taylor, but I can relate to that kind of friendship and that kind of loyalty. Those comments tell me the woman was special. If a man can find those qualities anywhere and at anytime, he is blessed on this earth. Rest in peace, Ms. Taylor.
My is WIlfredo Rosas
It is my dreams is able to know a woman of this part of the world who loves me and I also to marry and to live through the life in harmony peace while we have life it is what more I want, I am divorced by two daughters who live with his mother, live in españa five years ago, am A Venezuelan cúmplo forty five in May 26, and always and longed pair obtains in Russia for which the women are of an angelic bellesa and desire of heart this dream and this time are able reslizar I am ready to obtain it.
I married a Russian girl. There is not one girl on this site that comes close to her in looks, and that's the truth. I met her when I was on business in Singapore and had only 5 minutes to chat to her whilst waiting for a lift. She gave me her email address and we spent the next few weeks skyping and getting to know each other. She'd already gone back to Siberia, and she invited me to come out to visit. When I did, we fell in love. We married after only two months.
She is everything I have ever dreamed of in a woman. She is hyper-intelligent, very, very well educated, is incredibly gorgeous, and tremendously sexy. She knows how to dress elegantly and she has incredible natural beauty. This means that she isn't caked in make up and when I wake up in the morning she looks as amazing as she did the night before. The sex is incredible and is on tap, with a minimum of morning and evening every single day.
She's a fantastic cook, a great conversationalist and she is fiercely proud of me and completely loyal. In fairness, without meaning to sound arrogant, I've only ever been out with beautiful women, including one famous supermodel. However, even she cannot hold a candle to my wife. I'm fortunate that although I'm 52, I only look around 35. She's 32, but looks 22! We live in San Remo in Italy, and although I'm not rich, I'm very comfortable. However, she is not materialistic one little bit. Whilst she likes nice things, she is never wasteful with food and is happy wearing €5 plimsolls as she is wearing €500 heels.
When my first marriage broke up to an English girl (I'm British) I thought my life was over, however, I have to thank my ex-wife for running off with someone else because I have truly got the perfect wife.
My advice to any man who wants a wonderful woman is: get yourself a Russian woman. They look after themselves,take pride in their appearance and they genuinely care for their men. They stand by you no matter what, and they make excellent mothers not only to your joint offspring, but to any "legacy" children you might have. They are polite, courteous and educated, and they view marriage as a life commitment. English and US women are fat slobs who don't know how to be women. My Anastasia knows how to play sports with me, watch football (soccer) ride on the back of my Ducati, and to make love naked on the beach. She knows how to cook delicious food, how to sew and how to make a beautiful home. She knows how to be kind and considerate to those less fortunate and she knows how to make me feel like I am the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Of course, there are some great English and US women, as there are in all nationalities, but there are more marriageable Russian women than any other nationality and they want YOU!!!
I'm confused.
I like the sound of the Russian language, I like their music, figure skating and how Putin is standing up against the corrupt cabal of western banking and political elites but… when it comes to Russian women I am extremely suspicious and wary of them.
Why do I feel like that? I was 5 years living in Italy and when you ask many Italians their opinions on the many Russian women coming to Italy to live, nearly all of them have very negative thoughts about them.
There are countless stories of Russian women going to Italy, seducing men, making them fall in love and in the end the men have their family businesses destroyed and their money taken.
Russian women have been known to wreck families and businesses in Italy. I have often spoken to Italians I have met asking them about Russian women and it has always been the same story, stay away from them if you want to keep your wallet.
Now here in England if I ask people of Russian women the comments are more or less the same, stay away from them, they are 'hard' and after your money. I have one guy I know who is a real womaniser – I do not like him very much – but even 'he' will tell me to stay away from Russian women.
And to make matters worse, I have a brother in Italy who is in love with a Russian woman and we have problems – she seems to follow the negative traits. So obviously my feelings are coloured by negative experiences – I am aware of that – but it has been hell.
One can argue that I am falsely depicting all Russians in a bad light just because of one experience. But it cannot be a coincidence that when one asks Italian men in general or some of the people here in the UK what they think of Russian women, the response has mostly been, be very careful, they are hard, they are after your wallet, they will make you fall in love and then they will disappear after ruining you.
I would very much like to believe Russian women have good personalities such like those I have read on websites describing them but to be perfectly honest, I cannot ignore the many stories that are told to me nor the general impression people have on Russian women and my own personal experience with my brother and his Russian woman.
All the other general description about the character of Russian women on traditional courtship etc., that does not bother me at all. What does concern me is, is it in her Russian nature to play with my emotions making me believe we are in love only to discover she was out to screw me financially?
If that is not her nature, then why have I met men who have warned me about Russian women? There seems to be a pattern here that one cannot simply say does not exist.
I did not mean to be so negative but I had to get that out and would like your thoughts on this.
Many thanks.

While taxiing to the ramp, the airplane's engine shut down, and it took the pilots numerous attempts to restart it. After parking, the pilots reported to the attendants that the airplane's fuel/air mixture was difficult to establish at such a high-density altitude and that, if the engine was operated too lean, its temperature exceeded normal operation parameters. Later that day, the pilots departed in dark night conditions. During the takeoff roll, most of the runway length was used before the airplane began to climb. Several witnesses reported that the airplane appeared to be having engine problems and, after being airborne for about 3 seconds, it descended into terrain. Additionally, some witnesses reported that the engine sounded as if it was not producing full power and that the ascent seemed labored. The airplane impacted trees located on flat terrain about 2,400 feet from the end of the runway. The main wreckage was consumed by postimpact fire. Examination of the accident site revealed that the right wing impacted a tree in a wings-level attitude. The postaccident examinations revealed no evidence of mechanical anomalies with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation. Although it could not be confirmed, it is likely that the left-seat pilot was the flying pilot and that the right-seat pilot, who owned the airplane and had been consuming alcohol before the flight, was not the pilot-in-command.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

text: America Wants Deficit Reduction Through Spending Cuts, Not Taxes by John Sexton 22 Feb 2013 post a comment Share This: In response to Obama Says 75% of the American People Agree With Him : John H. nailed this earlier but we might as well grab the Pew chart which is the key to parsing the President's statement. (h/t Jim Geraghty) In the broadest sense, the President is correct when he says "75% of the people agree with me that the way to reduce our deficit sensibly is through a combination of spending cuts and tax revenue." That's true so far as it goes, but it omits the most important detail. Most of those people, 54% of the total (or 71% of the people Obama claims agree with him) want "mostly spending cuts." Add in the people who want only spending cuts and you get 73% of the people who want mostly or only spending cuts. We could argue over what ratio of cuts to revenues constitutes "mostly spending cuts." Whatever it is, the 1:1 plan which the Democratic Senate and the President are pushing now obviously isn't it. You'd never know it but the President is fighting the will of the majority of people on this issue. Is there anyone in the major media who will point out that 73% of the people agree with the GOP? Why is that level of overwhelming public support only of interest to conservative blogs?

About Ann
Marc & Ann grew up vacationing at New Jersey's beaches with their families...traveling for hours in the back of big old station wagons loaded with kids and stuff for the coveted 'week at the shore'!
'Our children have also enjoyed those same annual trips to the shore and we're thrilled to have a space we can call home in Cape May!'
Ann purchased this house in 2013
Why Ann chose Cape May
We feel so fortunate to own a place in Cape May! This beautiful town is bustling during every month of the year.
In addition to its pristine beaches and all of the summer fun that goes along with the sand and surf, there is also a vibrant community of year-round residents here that supports the arts and organizes festivals [food & wine; lima beans(!); seafood; Octoberfest---just to name a few].
In the warmer months, there are also deep sea fishing competitions including shark hunts, weekly movies on the beach, whale watching, horse and carriage rides, ghost tours, you name it!
At any time of the year you can explore Cape May's rich history and visit our lighthouse, the many historic buildings (many of which you can tour), and the WWII lookout! The town also hosts a flag ceremony every evening at Sunset Beach.
The year-round Cape May ferry travels to Delaware for those who might want to take advantage of some tax free shopping. Many Zagat rated restaurants are open all year too!
Because of Cape May's unique location at the southernmost tip of New Jersey, it is a natural resting stop on the Eastern Seaboard for all species of migratory birds and has become a mecca for bird watchers too! The US Coast Guard also has an active training center here because of this unique geography.
You can take a leisurely flat bike ride out to the lighthouse or to Higbee Beach or just enjoy a stroll around in town any time of year.
When you visit Cape May you'll notice that it doesn't attract the massive crowds found at many other area resorts. We especially like it because we know that our kids are safe and that there is good old fashion fun for everyone here in Cape May. Visit us.....we know you'll think so too!
What makes this house unique
We are charmed by the unique history of this old home and just could not believe how big it is!
The garden is an absolute joy....pink flowering trees and magnificent flowers that bloom throughout the seasons. We especially love the way the sun filters through the trees to provide just enough privacy on those lazy afternoons when we can enjoy the sound of the waves crashing on the surf.....all from the sanctuary of our porch!
We have enjoyed many an afternoon enjoying the cool relief of the porch's overhang with some cold beverages!
We love the dutch door at the entryway and the large elegant living and dining rooms that were once home to a vibrant ballet dance studio! We were so surprised and delighted that the home didn't have any of that heavy Victorian wallpaper or those small dark rooms we had seen in other older homes in town. Everything is light and airy. We also love the added convenience of having a few first floor bedrooms located down a quiet hallway just beyond the foyer.
After nightfall, enjoy the porch illuminated only by the moonlight and a few garden lights or flip the party lights on and spend the evening playing cards or a board game. We just love the versatility of the outside spaces and we know you will too!
