Liberal MP Alby Schultz has just got into a physical fight with one his colleagues, frontbencher Chris Pearce, during a heated exchange in this morning's Liberal Party Room meeting in Canberra.
Schultz, whose hatred of the National Party knows no bounds and once said that he'd "slaughtered better animals" than Barnaby Joyce, was at the centre of a fiery argument among MPs about three-cornered contests where Libs and National candidates run against each other.
Schultz became so angry during this morning's debate that he stormed out of the meeting and, as he left, fellow Liberal Chris Pearce quipped "have a nice day" - at which point Schultz turned and shirt-fronted him. Apparently three MPs had to restrain Mr Schultz.
"There was a bit of pushing and shoving," a source inside the meeting said.
"He didn't try to belt him but yeah he jostled him…it was all contained within about five minutes. Apologies were given and accepted. But yeah, it was an incident. I can see why there is interest in it though."
The background to the dispute is that the Liberal Party wants to run a candidate in the NSW seat of Monaro, a traditional National seat, so as payback the Nats want to run a candidate in the seat of Wollondilly, a traditional Liberal seat.
It's all pretty juvenile stuff and in light of the merged Coalition no-show at this year's Queensland election, the kind of thing which will do the conservatives no good whatsoever.
More importantly though, it's another violence-related distraction for Malcolm Turnbull, who should really be concentrating on his debt and deficit message, rather than explaining why he's got so many testosterone-fuelled lunatics on his staff and also now in his Party Room.
Most commented
Mark says:
should be belting some sense into Joe Hockey and Malcolm Moneybags… they're the clowns who run the joint.
Hamish says:
Schultz is from Goulburn, not Wollondilly Shire, although his electorate, Hume, has covered parts of Wollondilly over time.
How can the State Seat of Wollondilly be traditional Liberal when it was only created at the 2007 state election and was won by Labor?? Funny definition of traditional!
margaret says:
Wollondilly is a new seat won by the labor part at last election - hard pressed to ever be a liberal seat but national preferences would help
Jimi says:
Our elected representatives once again do us proud. Fighting, Smearing and Lying is all in a days work. Lets hope there is some footage like whats come out from around the world in recent years - chairs being thrown etc. Maybe the Punch needs a chaser style stunt. hang a bag outside parliament and lets have a duke off!!
Clem says:
Let's hope he doesn't behave that way when the teenager at McDonalds says those same words. It won't look good for Turnbull.
Paul says:
Late week it was Tony Barry. This weeks it's Alby Schultz. Is the pressure of opposition getting to the ? If they can't govern themselves they can't govern the country.
Mary says:
Last week an assault on a journo by Turnbulls media man now this.
Please keep the Liberal thugs away from our children, dont let them attend opening ceremonies at schools for those projects they voted against or our kids might witness more awful behaviour from the thugs!
Carl Goretti says:
Reminds of the old Labor days when state and national conferences resembled TV Ringside!
Paul Burns says:
And these blokes reckon they're the alternative Government? You've got to be kidding. Rudd will be in for decades.
Richard Ure says:
Was this a promotional stunt to help launch The Punch? Pollies can be trained to say and do anything to be noticed. Or help a media mogul.
Mike Kiebat says:
Nothing that a declaration and a control order wouldn't fix… Oh that's right… Pollies are exempt… or are they…???
cassie says:
A psycho chook, shirt fronting - is there anything else going on in Canberra to add to the list. Very funny really. Its only a matter of time before there will be a huge punch up like in Japan!
Valda says:
I'd like to see the Nationals run a candidate in every Liberal seat, and win majority in the Coalition. Warren Truss as P.M. and no Environmental Tax Scheme (woops ! Trading Scheme).
Bob Long (Yaraka Out Back Qld) says:
This is so cool, I say send them off packing to brat's school for a spell.
Adam says:
Valda, if the Nationals did that, they'd be annihilated. I wish you worked for them as a strategist!
Allan says:
The booth figures from the last two state elections indicated that the Nationals will find it harder and harder to win Monaro.
The Nationals in Monaro won 42.65% of the vote in 2003 which reduced to 39.34% in 2007
Even though the Federal Liberal Member lost his seat during the 2007 Federal Election he won the booth of Jerrabomberra, the largest in the electorate ( 2,275 or 55.25% 2pp in the 4,239 vote booth)
The National Candidate for the 2007 State election in the same booth had a result of 1,632 or 39% optional preferential of 4,140 votes.
The Nationals lost booths in rural areas such as Bombala, Cooma and Cooma North in the 2007 State election.
There is no way that the rural booths can outweigh the centre of population in and around urban Queanbeyan.
Any candiditate who wishes to represent Monaro must do well in these urban booths.
At the last conference of the NSW division of the Liberals, Barry O' Farrell won the support of the majority of delegates to resolve this issue at the Leadership level of the Coalition.
Dallas says:
While the billy boils, the heat in the kitchen does not equal global warming's ambient temperature, which is now cooling!
Andy from Kirra says:
I can just picture Chris Pearce 'pawing' back at SGT Schultz
I'd pay my $15 buck to watch on Foxtel's main event!
Tim of Croydon says:
How sad that the Opposition in this country is so weak. The Liberal Party are pathetic.
Jeremy says:
Albie ... save it for Kevin 07. But I hear the Ruddmeister can fight back. Just ask the Air Force girls. Be careful…
serge crosnier says:
well well well what's new about that,they can't stand each other,that is all there is to it.coalition=you know what.ahahahahah.
Michael of Eastern Suburbs says:
Tim of Croyden, maybe it's just me, but I assume that screaming at air hostesses is 'weaker', than shirt punching a man of equal size and maturity.
Peter says:
Hopefully the Libs and the Nats might have a good falling out. Let's hope it would a permanent one. It's shamefull the way the Libs and Nats need to hold hands before they can form a government
Jeffery says:
Alby, well done. Why not give your mate Barnaby a good thumping too. The sod readily deserves it.
Hemingway says:
For Liberal Members to go the mongrel with each other at such a perilous time for the Australian economy over a petty political dispute shows how far from reality the Libs have drifted in the last couple years.
Chris Pearce is not a jot less responsible than Albie as his cheap shot remark was the last he should sling at an angry colleague. United they stand——-divided they fall to easy turkey meat for Rudd to carve up.

Continental Airlines Complaint - Worst service ever!!!
Review by
Comments (3)
PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA -- BEWARE FLYING CONTINENTAL FROM PITTSBURGH! Yesterday I had the, without a dobut worst experience of my 20-plus career flying- not just on Continental, but on ANY airline. Upon boarding the 1st flight of the day from Pittsburgh to Houston, a verbal announcement was made (the PA system is faulty), asking if there were any more "confirmed seat holders" yet to board. I approached the check-in desk with my boarding pass and was told to board. Since the line boarding was still all the way out the jet bridge I told the Continental desk check-in person CAROLEE (Supervisor #G2530) that I was going to step across the way and quickly go to the restroom before boarding. I was told I could not and that my seat would be given away and the door closed, forfieting my being allowed to board the flight. Upon returning in less than 2 minutes, I was banished from the flight, my seat was given away and the door opened again to allow stand-by passengers to board. None of this had any bearing on the flight's departure as no baggage was involved, nor did my wishing to utilize the facilities in the airport alter the standard boarding procedure in any way.
I know this to be fact because I recently surpassed the half-million mile career mark with Continental and am currently listed as a GOLD member in their frequent flier club. Since I do fly regularly, I'm well aware of the standard practices. I was shocked at the treatment I received- to the degree several other passengers offered me their contact information in the event they may be of assistance in confirming what transpired.
Upon recovering from what happened at the boarding station, I then went back to the gate agent to see what options I would now have to endure. Both the agents working the main gate conveyed having seen similar treatment from CAROLEE previously.
The original flight was scheduled to depart at 5:50am. After not being able to board the next two flights via stand-by status (8am & 11:30am) I was finally granted a seat on a 2:30pm departing flight. The other agents expressed their sincere apologies, I was offered a meal vouchure. I actually felt bad for them to have to work under such tyrannical conditions.
Above my own concerns- I came away from it all thankful I am healthy enough to have only wished to pee before standing another 20 minutes in the jet bridge. I couldn't help think of someone less healthy that may have needed the contend with a more serious medical condition.
My advice when traveling out of Pittsburgh would to be to dehydrate yourself or better yet AVOID flying Continental.

Whenever I fly, Continental is my last choice. I will pay more to a different airline to avoid these fools. Their customer service is the absolute worst in the industry. Good Review.
Posted by Anonymous on 2011-11-08:
CO rated #1 amongst business travelers in the US for as many years as I can remember.
Once your boarding pass is scanned you must board the aircraft unless you are taken off the manifest and thus offloaded from the flight. This is a procedure set forth by the FAA not the airlines beyond the gate is considered planeside.
20 minutes in a jetway? Methinks a bit of embellishment considering no B777's visit PIT and that's about the only equipment. If you are as you claim a OnePass Gold why weren't you in boarding group 1? Never more than 20 people even on mainline equipment - no waiting in jetways for Golds.
Posted by onlooker on 2011-11-08:
The person who controlled access to the plane gave you clear instructions regarding what she would allow in the boarding process. You walked away.
Please follow up with the airline.

Tycoon Gets Fined for Wild Arctic Party
An Australian tycoon, Paul McDonald, has been fined £6,300 by Canadian authorities after an alcohol-fuelled party cruise in the Arctic which included serving liquor to a minor and illegally shooting fireworks.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police boarded his 100-foot, seven-stateroom luxury yacht early last month and reportedly seized 200 bottles of alcohol and almost £10,000 worth of illegal fireworks.
He was charged with one count of providing liquor to a minor and one count of being an unauthorised possession of liquor.

2013 Tesla Model S at Supercharger station on NY-to-FL road trip [photo: David Noland]
The final segment of my New York-to-Florida electric-car road trip, made possible through Tesla's new network of Supercharger stations along the East Coast, provided what I'd come for--time spent with old comrades--but it started gloomy.
The grueling 380-mile day was brightened by the kindness of friends. It began with the sound of a frigid rain on the roof of Robin and Rosie's place in Ormond Beach. ( I keep outrunning the Polar Vortex, but then it keeps catching up.)
MORE: Tesla Model S: NY-To-FL Trip, Days 1-2: From Home To South Carolina
The Model S, plugged into a 120-Volt household outlet in Robin's garage, picked up 35 miles overnight. That brings its available range up to 211 miles this morning--barely enough for the 180-mile run down to Stuart. That's where Steve--my childhood best buddy and former next-door neighbor on the White River back in Indiana--has settled.
By great good fortune, both Robin and Steve live about 20 miles from the last two Florida Superchargers on the East Coast chain, in Port Orange and Port St.Lucie.
The plan is to charge at Port St. Lucie on the way to Steve's, picking up enough charge to continue 25 miles to his house, then return to the Port Orange Supercharger, about 25 miles short of Robin's place on the way back--a leg of about 185 miles.

(Sure, I could charge to full and get back to Robin's house, but then I'd miss the Port Orange Supercharger. Gotta try 'em all, right?)

It's 43 degrees when I pull out of Robin's driveway. That means that at 75 mph, actual range will be 10 to 20 percent less than the rated range, so I initially set the cruise control for 70. But the temperature rapidly rises as the Vortex recedes in the rear-view mirror.
Within an hour, the mercury has risen past 60, and I bump the speed up to the normal 75. I arrive at the Port St. Lucie Supercharger with a cushion of 27 miles, after averaging a sparkling 310 Wh/mi.
In a hurry to get to Steve's house, I charge the minimum I figure I'll need to get back to Port Orange--about 210 miles.
I arrive to a welcome from Steve, his visiting bratty little brother Randy (now 60 years old, for God's sake), and our cross-river pal Sam, who followed Steve's Florida migration.
We plug the Model S into Steve's 120-Volt garage outlet (every kWh counts), and sit around all afternoon talking cars, boats, and our various infirmities.
It's a grand old time.

More guns and less violence
by Thomas Neviaser
Re: the editorial "Inflaming a culture war," May 7:
I believe it is your paper that is fanning this flame. Gun violence in America has fallen dramatically over the past two decades, and the number of murders committed with a firearm is down too, according to a new report from the U.S. Justice Department.
As for where crime guns came from, the study notes that fewer than 2 percent of convicted inmates reported buying their weapons at gun shows or flea markets. Thirty-seven percent said the guns came from a family member or a friend. About 40 percent said the weapons were stolen or obtained from an illegal source. The rest say the guns were bought at a retail store or pawn shop.
Neviaser is a retired physician and a freelance columnist for the Culpeper Star Exponent. He lives in Rixeyville.

->''Vertigo - A feeling of dizziness...a swimming in the head...figuratively a state in which all things seem to be engulfed in a whirlpool of terror.''
A classic 1958 PsychologicalThriller directed by Creator/AlfredHitchcock.
JimmyStewart plays John "Scottie" Ferguson, a San Francisco detective who, because of a rooftop chase which leads to the death of one of his fellow officers, develops a fear of heights.
Scottie goes on leave for a while, but is persuaded to go back on the job by Gavin Elster (Tom Helmore), a college buddy of his, who wants him to trail his wife Madeleine who has been behaving oddly. As he observes the beautiful, mysterious Madeleine (KimNovak), he begins developing feelings for her - feelings that are reciprocated by her. However, Madeleine appears to be possessed by the spirit of her dead ancestor Carlotta Valdes who is trying to get her to commit suicide. Scottie tries to help her out of this apparent madness, but in vain as he finds himself watching helplessly as Madeleine plunges to her death from the roof of a bell tower, unable to reach her in time due to his vertigo.
Scottie suffers a mental breakdown for some time after his love's death, constantly seeing her in women he meets. It turns out that there is one woman who really does look a lot like Madeleine - a sharp-tongued brunette named Judy Barton (Novak again). Still haunted by the memory of his dead love, Scottie pursues a relationship with Judy. But the ghosts of the past never die, and their consequences prove to be what no one expected...
The film was released to mixed reviews and modest box office results. Critics complained of the film being overly long, slow and too "bogged in detail". However by the late 1960s, scholar Robin Wood re-evaluated the film to be "one of the four or five most profound and beautiful films the cinema has yet given us". Removed from circulation in 1973, it remained somewhat obscure.
The movie was re-released to cinemas in 1983 and on home video in 1984. This time it was a commercial hit and reviews were overwhelmingly positive. By the end of the 1980s, ''Vertigo'' [[VindicatedByHistory was considered among the best films of Hitchcock and highly significant for film history]]. In 2008, the American Film Institute gave this movie the #1 position in the "Mystery" category of the 10 Top 10 Lists. In 2012, it earned first place in a poll by ''Sight and Sound'' determining the 50 greatest movies, dethroning ''Film/CitizenKane'' from 50 years of making the top of their charts.
If it's the comics company you're looking for, search no further than VertigoComics.
!!This film provides examples of:
* ArtisticTitle: The camera zooms into a woman's eye to reveal spirals of different colors.
* AsYouKnow: Scottie's line to Midge near the beginning, "hey we were engaged once". As one reviewer put it, "who would say that if there wasn't an audience listening?"
* BatmanGambit: Gavin's plan to use Scottie's fear of heights to prevent him from getting to the top of the tower definitely qualifies. And if Scottie had ever seen a picture of the real Madeleine, Gavin would've been sunk.
* BettyAndVeronica / LightFeminineDarkFeminine: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] and played with in fascinating ways. Madeleine is the Betty/Light Feminine, even after she dies, while Judy is the Veronica/Dark Feminine that Scottie makes over in Madeleine's image.
** Midge also likes to see herself as the Betty to Madeleine's Veronica but Scottie has no interest in her.
* CatapultNightmare: Scottie does this after the haunting dream sequence.
* ClimbingClimax: Scottie carries Judy up the bell tower at the climax.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Madeleine is associated with green.
* CreatorCameo: Hitchcock appears walking past the entrance of Gavin Elster's shipyard.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The opening credits from the Creator/{{Paramount}} logo up until the title card, which has a red background.
* DigitalDestruction: The version included in the Alfred Hitchcock Masterpiece Collection DVD box set boasts a colorized version of the opening shot, a woman's face. Fortunately, the Blu-Ray features this scene in its original black and white.
** On a more infamous note (no pun intended), when Robert A. Harris and James Catz restored the movie for the 1996 re-release, Universal had the soundtrack remixed into six-channel DTS by mixing new sound effects with the original music and dialogue. However, by the time Universal decided to restore the movie again, for its 2012 re-release and Blu-Ray debut, technology had evolved to a point where they could remix the soundtrack while keeping the original sound effects.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Sort of.
* DoppelgangerReplacementLoveInterest: After Madeleine jumps off the bell tower, Scottie meets Judy Norton and has her made over to look just like Judy. Little does he know that the truth is a lot weirder.
* DrivingADesk: Particularly noticeable, to the point where Scottie seems to be driving on the wrong side of the road sometimes.
* EmpathicEnvironment: As Pop Liebel tells the story of Carlotta at the Argosy Book Shop, it gets noticeably darker both inside and outside the store.
** When Judy leaves the bathroom after getting her hair done in Madeline's style, there is an intense fog around her as though Madeline has "come back from the dead." Which she technically ''has''.
* EpiphanyTherapy: Massively subverted, perhaps even deconstructed.
* FollowTheLeader: Creator/BrianDePalma's ''Body Double'', but with claustrophobia instead of acrophobia.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Midge's comment that "only another emotional shock" could cure Scottie's acrophobia foreshadows the final shot of the film.
* GlassesGirl: Midge.
* HaveAGayOldTime: Try to listen to Midge's comments about "the gay old bohemian days of gay old San Francisco" without chuckling now.
* HeroicBSOD: Scottie suffers a severe one about halfway through the film.
* ImpairmentShot: This is how the VertigoEffect is used in the movie--to show Scottie's attacks of vertigo.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: Scottie, after Elster tells him about Madeleine's relationship to (and seeming possession by) Carlotta Valdes.
* InternalReveal: The audience finds out that Judy and Madeleine are one and the same shortly after Judy's introduction. Scottie only figures it out when he sees Judy wearing Madeleine's necklace.
* JustFriends: Scottie and Midge, though they were once engaged and she still retains obvious feelings for him.
* LiteralCliffhanger: The opening chase scene ends with Scottie hanging from a storm drain by his fingertips. This causes his acrophobia and vertigo.
* TheLostLenore: Increasingly subverted.
* LoveMartyr: Judy, who is so besotted with Scottie that she lets him completely make her over into Madeleine.
* LovingAShadow: It's clear that Scottie never would have given Judy a second glance if she hadn't so strongly resembled Madeleine.
* MindScrew
* NunsAreSpooky: Especially when they come out of the shadows and scare the bejesus out of you.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Scottie's real name is John.
* PlotHole: How on Earth did Judy get out of that hotel without Scottie seeing her?
** Logically, there could have been a back exit, and the hotel clerk was most likely paid off not to reveal the truth to Scottie so she could escape
* [[PuttingAHandOverHisMouth Putting A Hand Over Her Mouth]]: Happens during TheReveal. [[spoiler:Kim Novak has just seen her doppelganger (the real Madeleine) fall to her death and we see Galvin muffling her scream]].
* ReplacementGoldfish: Sums up Scottie's entire relationship with Judy.
* RoofHopping: Turns out to be a [[RealityEnsues bad idea]].
* SanFrancisco
* SceneryPorn: Lots of shots of beautiful California countryside.
* SpoilerTitle: Depending on how you interpret it, the Portuguese title of the movie - ''[[spoiler:A Mulher Que Viveu Duas Vezes]]'' [[spoiler:(The Woman Who Lived Twice)]] - counts as one.
* StairwellChase: The first scene in the belltower.
* SweaterGirl: Judy Norton's standard tight-sweater-and-bullet-bra ensemble contrast Judy's earthy sexuality with Madeline the icy blond in the gray suit.
* TakeMyHand: Used, and subverted, in the opening scene.
* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: Scottie is obsessed with the memory of Madeleine.
* VertigoEffect: TropeMaker and indirect TropeNamer.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Midge disappears around the two-thirds point.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Heights for Scottie.
* ZipMeUp: Judy needs help with a necklace. This leads directly to the climax.

Formerly Atlanta Brewing Company, Red Brick Brewing Company holds the title of Georgia's oldest craft brewery. The brew masters whip up a host of complex, craft beers, from an American IPA to a smoked vanilla porter. They also offer tours and tastings, providing samplings and insight into the nuanced fundamentals of beer creation. The tasting room, lounge, and Red Brick warehouse provide ample space for private events, and Thursday and Friday nights are open to the public for team trivia, live music, and discussions about the latest fashions in lampshade headwear.
Bi-Plane Adventures, Inc. was founded in 1996, but its planes first flew in the 1940s serving in World War II. Soldiers originally sat in the two fully restored bi-planes' open cockpits, training as naval cadets in the N3N-3 or pilots in the WACO UPF-7. Though the company's vintage aircrafts are arguably its greatest asset—fewer than 100 of either of these bi-planes remain reaching the skies today—owner and chief pilot Lee Kluger is pretty impressive, too. Lee has racked up more than 20,000 hours of flight experience over the past 32 years, all with a perfect safety record. He helms most of Bi-Plane Adventures' flights, giving passengers a breezy aerial view of downtown Atlanta. They also float over landmarks including Red Top Mountain and Lake Allatona, which looks like a small puddle of tears of joy from above.

Sen. Rob Portman now supports gay marriage, reverses previous position
CINCINNATI (AP) - Republican U.S. Sen. Rob Portman is now supporting gay marriage and says his reversal on the issue began when he learned one of his sons is gay.
Ohio's junior senator disclosed his change of heart in interviews with several Ohio newspapers and CNN. In an op-ed published Friday in The Columbus Dispatch he said the decision came after a lot of thought.
"I have come to believe that if two people are prepared to make a lifetime commitment to love and care for each other in good times and in bad, the government shouldn't deny them the opportunity to get married," he wrote.
As a member of the House in 1996, Portman voted in favor of the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman and bars federal recognition of same-sex marriage.
Portman said his views on gay marriage began changing in 2011 when his son, Will, then a freshman at Yale University, told his parents he was gay and that it wasn't a choice but "part of who he was." Portman said he and his wife, Jane, were very surprised but also supportive.
He said it prompted him to reconsider gay marriage from a different perspective, that of a father who wants all three of his children to have happy lives with people they love.
He said he talked to his pastor and to people on both sides of the gay marriage issue, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who is opposed to gay marriage, and former Vice President Dick Cheney, who supports it. Cheney's daughter is a lesbian.
Portman told reporters Thursday that his previous views on marriage were rooted in his Methodist faith.
"Ultimately, for me, it came down to the Bible's overarching themes of love and compassion and my belief that we are all children of God," he wrote.
The well-known Ohio conservative, a former U.S. trade representative and White House budget chief, was considered but not chosen as Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's running mate. Portman told the newspapers Romney was informed about Will's sexuality last year.
Portman's reversal comes as the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to hear arguments this month in a challenge to a provision of the Defense of Marriage Act.
Portman said he would like Congress to repeal the provision of the DOMA that bans federal recognition of gay marriage, though he still supports the part of the law that says states should not be forced to recognize such marriages.
A group working to overturn Ohio's ban on same-sex marriage praised Portman's comments.

Poem Title:
At midnight, in the month of June, I stand beneath the mystic moon. An opiate vapor, dewy, dim, Exhales from out her golden rim, And, softly dripping, drop by drop, Upon the quiet mountain top, Steals drowsily and musically Into the universal valley. The rosemary nods upon the grave; The lily lolls upon the wave; Wrapping the fog about its breast, The ruin molders into rest; Looking like Lethe, see! the lake A conscious slumber seems to take, And would not, for the world, awake. All Beauty sleeps!- and lo! where lies Irene, with her Destinies! O, lady bright! can it be right- This window open to the night? The wanton airs, from the tree-top, Laughingly through the lattice drop- The bodiless airs, a wizard rout, Flit through thy chamber in and out, And wave the curtain canopy So fitfully- so fearfully- Above the closed and fringed lid 'Neath which thy slumb'ring soul lies hid, That, o'er the floor and down the wall, Like ghosts the shadows rise and fall! Oh, lady dear, hast thou no fear? Why and what art thou dreaming here? Sure thou art come O'er far-off seas, A wonder to these garden trees! Strange is thy pallor! strange thy dress, Strange, above all, thy length of tress, And this all solemn silentness! The lady sleeps! Oh, may her sleep, Which is enduring, so be deep! Heaven have her in its sacred keep! This chamber changed for one more holy, This bed for one more melancholy, I pray to God that she may lie For ever with unopened eye, While the pale sheeted ghosts go by! My love, she sleeps! Oh, may her sleep As it is lasting, so be deep! Soft may the worms about her creep! Far in the forest, dim and old, For her may some tall vault unfold- Some vault that oft has flung its black And winged panels fluttering back, Triumphant, o'er the crested palls, Of her grand family funerals- Some sepulchre, remote, alone, Against whose portal she hath thrown, In childhood, many an idle stone- Some tomb from out whose sounding door She ne'er shall force an echo more, Thrilling to think, poor child of sin! It was the dead who groaned within.

Chevron contains fire, still no word on production
- Lindsay Riddell

The fire at Chevron's Richmond refinery that burned for several hours Monday Aug. 6 reportedly sent several hundred people to the emergency room complaining of breathing problems and nausea.
While Chevron (NYSE: CVX), Richmond's largest employer, reported only three minor injuries at the site, the fire was a reminder that there are risks associated with living near an oil refinery.
Contra Costa County Health Department issued a "shelter in place" warning to residents of Richmond, North Richmond, San Pablo and El Cerrito, as people all over the Bay Area watched and took pictures of a massive cloud of black smoke that hung over the East Bay. The shelter in place warning was lifted by midnight.
Still the Bay Area Air Quality Monitoring Board said "local air quality monitors show minimal impacts from the fire, with pollution levels well below the federal health standards. Weather conditions were favorable at the time of the incident – surface winds were light and heat pushed the smoke upwards where stronger winds aloft helped to disperse it."
Environmental group the Sierra Club's statement reflected more concern.
"No one should have to live downwind of a dangerous oil refinery," said a statement attributed to Sierra Club Environmental Justice and Community Partnerships Director Leslie Fields. "Our thoughts are with the families living near the Chevron facility who must now contend with the aftermath and long-term health consequences of breathing in smoke filled with dangerous particulate matter, soot and cancer-causing toxins like sulfur compounds. These explosions and the massive toxic cloud hanging over their community and homes are only a part of the pattern of operation at Chevron's Richmond facility, and Chevron should be held to account."
Lindsay Riddell covers energy and cleantech for the San Francisco Business Times.

Vdara Las Vegas Hotel: 25% off room rates, FREE view upgrade, and a $50 spa and salon credit and a $50 dining credit
Last edited by khlopchik; 12-03-2012 at 12:13 PM..
Reason: More information
This is one of the newer hotels that is apart of the "City Center" that was finished I think 3 years ago? This along with Aria to me are the nicest hotels I've been in. I've been in the vdara suite and it I would have to say it's pretty modern and it feels more like a condo than a hotel room. Definitely a good deal considering the usual rates a lot higher.
Vdara is much much more classier and newer, TI is pretty old since they open for over 20 years or maybe 30.. sure they been remodel but what you would love about Vdara is they have no casino. just park your car, you can get into the elevator straight up to your room. What i really don't like about Vdara is their room are so damn dark -__- I got a dig bick,.....
you that read wrong. that awkward when you read that wrong too. And said "moment" after awkward. this is awkward.. |
But each hotel serve their own purpose. Vdara is only a hotel/resort, so there's no casino, but it's connected to the Bellagio so gambling is accessible. It depends a lot on what you're planning to do in Vegas and where you're planning to go if you care about convenience. They're at different parts of the strip (TI begin close to the "north" end of the strip near the Wynn/Venetian) and Vdara being closer to the center of the strip (Bellagio, Aria, Planet Hollywood). |
I'm surprised this isn't a front page deal. I was able to book a Deluxe Suite for $75 + RF (the same room was $104 on all the other sites). With the $50 resort credit and $50 spa credit, I'm basically breaking even!
I'm considering booking a second day. Does anyone know if I book the next night in a separate transaction if I will get the $100 credits again? |
Vdara is an amazing hotel. Took the girl there and the suites were large, beautiful, clean, and very homey feeling. I stayed at the Hilton Elara as well and would have much prefered to stay at the Vdara.
Their Spa was also fantastic. Great customer service and gave me one of the better massages I've had. |
