Skip to comments.Notre Dame: Promoting the Glamour of Evil - ALAN KEYES
Posted on 03/21/2009 8:39:12 AM PDT by EternalVigilance
Loyal to Liberty
"Do you reject the glamour of evil, and refuse to be mastered by sin? (From the Roman Catholic Rite of Baptism)
Apparently the Catholic folks at Notre Dame University have no more respect for the Baptismal vows they renew every Easter than their invited Commencement Speaker this year has for the Presidential Oath of Office. At this moment in time, Barack Obama is the living incarnation of the glamour of evil. His smiley tones and non-threatening manner mask a studied commitment to the promotion of the most deadly form of evil in the world today- the cult of abortion centered on the ritual of child sacrifice. Obama has moved with impetuous determination to prove his claim to the mantle of High Priest of the Worldwide Abortion cult. With Executive orders he has shifted the resources of the U.S. government behind the global implementation of abortion. He has declared open season on embryonic human life. He has appointed enthusiastic political and judicial acolytes of this cult of death to high positions in the Executive and Judicial branches.
Even before these actions there was no rational basis for pretending to doubt his absolute commitment to the evil of abortion for its own sake. There can be no other explanation for his opposition, while an Illinois state Senator, to the bipartisan effort in the legislature to end the heinous practice of infanticide against innocent babies- delivered in the course of an abortion attempt; wrapped in soiled linens; and left on a cart to languish without medical care or any human comfort until they died. His only real explanation for refusing to support an end to this abominable practice was the cold-blooded logic that any interference with the mother's intention to kill the child would damage so-called abortion rights.
The Catholic Church teaches that abortion is objective evil of the most deadly spiritual kind. Obama embraces this evil for its own sake, without even the specious calculus of cost and benefit to cloak the true nature of his devotion. Except the Notre Dame University community consciously wishes to promote similar devotion in its students, there can be no valid explanation for their willingness to extend a platform to such a man. They cannot plead respect for his supposed High Office, unless they mean to suggest that it is consistent with Catholic teaching or the Lord's example to put such worldly reverence above the reverence for God, and the sacred laws commanding respect for innocent human life. Human honor cannot redeem that which God abhors. It cannot clear away the stain and curse that mars it. Vox Populi, Vox Dei is no maxim for the Body of Christ.
Nor can apologists at Notre Dame point to any positions he takes, or worldly programs he promises that can offset the sacrifice of spiritual integrity his unapologetic support for the cult of child sacrifice entails. It may be that he has gained the whole world's momentary adulation and tinsel honor. But as Christ spoke true, his soul is forfeit in the bargain, and the gain is as nothing compared to the cost.
Neither can they plead respect for the historic breakthrough his election supposedly represents. How can one who withdraws the protection of God's ordained equality of rights from innocent, helpless children claim to represent the triumph of justice over the very evils, born of greed and passion, unleashed by disregard for that equality? The vicious heart of selfish passion that perverted the souls of slave masters or self-worshiping lynch mobs, is the same heart offered in service to the Father of lies and evil in the abortion cult.
In the literal sense therefore, Barack Obama is the incarnation of what the Catholic Church identifies as the epitome of evil in the world today. What Notre Dame has done puts the stamp of Catholicity upon him, as if there is no absolute contradiction between what he advocates and represents and what can honorably be presented from platforms that benefit from the auspices of the Church. A Commencement speech represents a word spoken at the beginning of a new stage of life. In the literal sense it represents a principle for thought and action. Are we seriously to believe that some morally truthful argument can be made that justifies presenting Barack Obama in a Catholic context, as one who speaks for decent moral principle? It is sophomoric to suggest that any good thing he promises, promotes or even implements can compensate for his declared war upon the very principle of goodness, which is nowhere more clearly at stake than in the law of love that shrouds, protects and sanctifies our reverence for innocent human life. What Catholic theology makes good the rationalization that good works somehow supply the deficiency of a spirit and will that in the innocent person of the child, defile and abuse the very image of God Himself?
Given the evil he represents, Notre Dame's invitation to Obama is a slavish capitulation to the glamour of evil. Across America there are people of many different hues and denominations who devote themselves to the protection of innocent life, respect for the God-ordained family, and promotion of social justice in ways that conform with the principle of subsidiarity that respects human responsibility before God for the exercise of freedom His will for us makes possible. The world does not elevate them to platforms of power. Indeed it threatens them with punishment; ridicules and reviles their single-hearted devotion to Christ's example; relegates them to what it believes are the dingy fringes of respectability and esteem. Yet where is Christ to be found more than in those willing to bear with him the cross of human anguish on the long climb toward Calvary and the sacrifice that redeems mankind from the burden of sin? Rather than give an honorable platform to an evil man the world admires, a Catholic institution would do better to offer students a voice that speaks from the depths of this redemptive anguish, with a heart that sees past the glamour and power of evil, to the truth that will someday repel and triumph over it.
In an era when the Catholic Church in America still reels from the damaging effect of leaders who seem to connive at what gives scandal to the faithful, this scandalous gesture of admiration and respect toward the man who best represents the temporary triumph of evil over America's public life is a renewed scandal. As the first reeked of worldly fear and selfish licentiousness, this reeks of death and the prideful embrace of the doctrine that rejects the sovereignty of God in order to make man the master of life and death, right and wrong, hope and salvation. Catholics who abhor such scandal need to speak out. With one voice we should say to Notre Dame what Joshua said to the people of Israel: "If it does not please you to serve the Lord, decide today whom you will serve " (Josue 24:15)
As a Catholic I earnestly pray to God, and ask of our Church leaders, that they make clear that this invitation cannot stand. If it stands, the scandalous lesson of subservience to human pride and power will lengthen the shadow of spiritual corruption that still haunts the Church. But if it is rebuked and withdrawn, every Catholic and Christian heart submissive to the sovereignty of God, as they bear witness to the affirmation of its truth, will be emboldened to speak and act with courage, even in the teeth of the whole world's scornful power.
This may also be an opportunity to begin the work that may someday turn Obama's heart from evil. Rather than confirm him in his present heedless service to objective evil, confront Him with the truth that there are Christian hearts that honor God above any man or human office. The seed planted by that confrontation will remind him of the true spirit of liberty. And it might someday grow up to impel him to repent of evil, who knows? With God, all things are possible.

First it was vagina Monologues them the wacky professor slamming the POPE Now this Inviting the Leader of the Culture of Death!!
I can't believe that Notre Dame is having President Obama as their speaker...What on Earth??? I know a friend of mine who is graduating there this year...I will ask him what he thinks...lol. He predicted that John McCain would get the nomination way before others were thinking that...yes we are still friends...lol.
To protest (and surely, to prevent) this travesty, go HERE, and HERE.
We're already on the march. Our excellent ally, the Cardinal Newman Society, has already launched a well-organized campaign to stop this rubbish from ever happening. HERE ARE YOUR MARCHING ORDERS. Get on task, my friends.
See the above.
Very good - if a bit long. imo, about half the length would have greater impact in this click fast and move on world :). Or maybe that's just me.
A defining moment looms before the AmChurch and the Bishops.
I'm getting your links around everywhere I can. Thanks.
I see you are on task w/o pinging from me! Carry on!
Yes it does.
Someone has to get to the alum donor's. Get the list. Get them where it hurts. They are Catholic. Against Abortion. This will hurt them if they hear from the money crowd.
I must say, I'm not optimistic. Zero will probably speak there. There are many, many Pelosi-style Catholics out there, and they have a lot of power at ND. We need supernatural intervention. Our Lady, pray for us!!
Alan Keyes is absolutely right. I have already written to Bishop D'Arcy. I don't know to what extent the bishop can control a university run by a religious order in his diocese, but I believe that a bishop can refuse to let a religious order operate in his diocese. At least, that's the rationale used by our bishop for refusing conservative religious orders in his diocese.
Notre Dame always invites whoever is President at that time to give the address. However, never has there been a president who is so anti-life. This should not be happening.
Keyes is absolutely right on this. As a Catholic, I can't disagree with a word he says.

Brothers in Christ:
You are not among those who are unlettered, oblivious and unaware.
You know that Barack Obama voted three times --- once on the floor of the Illinois legislature, and twice in committee ----to deny medical assistance and even compassionate palliative care to living, struggling infants unfortunate enough to be born subsequent to an attempted abortion.
You know that Obama's HHS has just rescinded federal regulatory protection of conscience rights for individual and institutional healthcare providers.
You know that Barack Obama is by far the most radical advocate of abortion AND infanticide ever elected to political office in the USA --- both actions condemned by the Second Vatican Council as "abominable crimes."
And this infamous man has now been invited to receive an Honorary Degree in Law from Notre Dame University?
Holy Mother of God!
In a statement adopted in 2004, the USCCB declared, "The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles."
"They should not be given rewards, honors, or platforms."
You would be utter fools to honor Barack Obama merely because he is is President of the United States, he is "historic," he is stylish and powerful, he is one of the great ones of the earth.
You are offending One far greater than he.
P.S. If you well and truly lack the testicular fortitude to do the right thing --- which would be to make a public statement rescinding Barack Obama's invitation due to the fact that he is morally unfit to be given a platform or to receive honors from any Catholic institution --- then you can at least work behind the scenes to "remind" Obama that he "unfortunately has a scheduling conflict" which will "unfortunately" make it impossible for him to attend.
And don't accept Vice President Biden as a substitute, a --- compared to Obama ---trifling, merely "moderately" murder-authorizing Catholic who has already justly been denied platforms, honors, and reception of Holy Communion by the Bishop of Scranton.
The priests there are subject to his discipline, IIRC, as far as their rights and responsibilities; I think they can only offer Mass with his approval.
Get Obama canceled. Contacts from another thread!
Get to it, FReepers!
When Keyes is on, he is really on.
Good piece.
Is he being offered an Honorary LAW Degree? I know that in the past, when the powers that be wanted to do this, and suggested it to the Law School, they said absolutely NOT! They suggested that the person in question be given an Honorary Degree in Theology, since it was the goofy folks in the Theology Dept. pushing the pro-abortion speaker.
"Apparently the Catholic folks at Notre Dame University have no more respect for the Baptismal vows they renew every Easter than their invited Commencement Speaker this year has for the Presidential Oath of Office. At this moment in time, Barack Obama is the living incarnation of the glamour of evil."
Secret handshakes can arrange anything - even at Notre Dame.
"President Barack Obama will be the principal speaker and the recipient of an honorary doctor of laws degree at the University of Notre Dames 164th University Commencement Ceremony at 2 p.m. May 17 (Sunday) in the Joyce Center on campus. "
I'm going to go there personally and throw blood if he speaks.
St. Thomas More, pray for us.
Barry evil? Quite possibly.
Glamorous? Getting less and less so by the minute.
"The Pope Paul VI Institute is the only Catholic Institution of its type in the United States and perhaps the world that has dedicated its services to the development of morally and professionally acceptable reproductive health services. The Institute is nationally and internationally recognized for its major accomplishements, including the Creighton Model FertilityCare System (CrMS), the official language of a woman's health and fertility and the new women's health science, NaProTECHNOLOGY."
The statement of the century.
I was not aware that Alan Keyes is a Catholic. Please give him this link, of which he may be unaware. This is how we will win back our country.
Yes, she converted the followers of the religions of human sacrifice and slavery in Latin America.
If not for Our Lady of Guadalupe, this hemisphere would be very much worse than it now is, and the illegals coming over the border would be a whole lot worse.
On the website, you can read what Our Lady predicted in the late 1950s. IMO, this is what we're heading into, right now.
The cardinal new man society will be all over this... patrick reilly is in Rome beating up the Vatican to get some enforcers... After i posted I opened his newsletter and he praised Notre dame because they Founded a Pro Life club and stopped showing Vagina monologue this year then This the OBAMANATION!!! ughh we had recently Cokie Roberts get a media award from a local University Cabrini...
"Bishop D'Arcy, who is a relatively good bishop."
I guess there's a few still out there.
Bullseye. Ambassador Keyes hits it out of the park this time.
Catholic Bump!
I'll send you some gas money. FReepmail me the address if necessary! (I'll be immobile by then ;-).
I was encouraged this year by the more concerted pro-life stand taken by the bishops. They spoke with one voice this past campaign more than I have ever seen. The proposed speech at N.D. should be a real showdown, if there are those with the will to fight. It really needs to be, because the issues here are hardly ambiguous. The other bishops are probably waiting for Bsp D'Arcy to decide what he's going to do.
BTW, Bsp D'Arcy was one of the ones in Boston who tried to blow the whistle on the goings on there. He was exiled to Indiana for his trouble. I'm sure he's well aware of the consequences of not acting in time. One hopes they are burning the midnight oil in Fort Wayne these days trying to figure out a strategy. One hopes .... A visit by the Aborter-in-Chief would be a scandal for the ages at N.D., expecially after the bishops started to speak out about abortion last year. The provocation can't go unanswered.
It will be a huge scandal if Zero speaks officially at Notre Dame.
Whaddaya mean "even" at Notre Dame? ND has been slouching toward Gomorrah for some time now.
Hey ND fans........I don't think "Our Lady" is pleased with you anymore. Maybe that explains your disastrous seasons the last few years!
Note the irony. The faculty and administration was infiltrated by anti-Catholics under Hesburgh's presidency. They have followed Georgetown's Land O'Lakes lead into oblivion. Imagine being a student graduating, actually having borrowed money and worked hard for the degree, and having the ceremony ruined and crapped on by the pro-abortionist Obama.
That's a great and succinct letter. (I'm Jewish, not Catholic) Well done.
But we've got to follow up with action. Please pray that the Almighty may raise up strong leaders for us, and that we footsoldiers can keep our focus and not just dissolve into hand-wringing and bitching. (Or being satisfied with having written a "really good letter.")
Sadly, I think a fair amount, if not most, of the students will be thrilled. TD Jesus will be replaced with a monument of the Obamessiah.
There was a joke going around Georgetown when Clinton was president, during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, that things had gotten so bad that the faculty would probably award Bill Clinton an honorary Doctorate in Theology. It seemed like just a joke then. But only just. Notre Dame has a hit a new low with the plan to award Obama an honorary Law degree. It's so absurd.
I know — it is sad when the jokes become a reality.
Over four years ago, my youngest son was Baptized. We had the Baptism over Thanksgiving weekend, so my parents could visit and attend. USC always hosts ND the Saturday after Thanksgiving and it is a tradition for our family to make/serve turkey enchiladas for the game.
We invited our priest to join us for dinner and the game, but warned him we would be rooting for USC. He quipped, "That's OK — USC is probably closer to Catholic anyway!"
I could never cheer for the Trojans, but I get the joke.
It's sad what has happened to the colleges. It's a real tragedy. A great loss for the Church and all of American society.
Oh — I don't mind if you cheer for the Trojans........clearly, Our Lady is miffed, so she's got the big guy on our side! ;-)
Here's a question: How does a Catholic priest say Mass at the altar in Sacred Heart Chapel, in the very presence of Christ, receiving the Blessed Sacrament, one minute and then walk back to his office and sign a piece of paper approving the award of an honorary Doctorate of Laws and providing a forum at Notre Dame's commencement for the most pro-abortion president in American history, a pro-abortion maniac who signed an executive order to fund abortions worldwide? How could that person possibly be a Catholic priest or any kind of Catholic and do that? How could this be explained apart from diabolical disorientation?
I really don't understand it, but you have to know that Catholic priests all over the place supported Obama and other democrats. It is mind-boggling. Obama won the election at my sons' Catholic High School, too — though most kids were screwing around. Ron Paul got nearly a quarter of the vote.
Yeah, I think there are 2 categories of clergy that voted for Obama. There are the typical leftist clergy — and there are frightening number of them in the Catholic Church — who don't care about abortion much and think that social programs are the most important thing. They would have supported most any democrat. Then there are those who bought into the hype and wanted to feel good about voting for the first black president and are now seeing what they've done.
I'm not so concerned about those who were duped by Obama as those who embrace the liberal ideology regardless of the candidate.

On a recent evening over watermelon martinis, a group of Long Island women went around the table voicing their nonsupport of Hillary Clinton. They're a left-leaning group, ranging in age from mid-40s to early 60s — supposedly part of Clinton's natural constituency.
"She's rich," one said. "I always distrust rich people, how they made their money."
Another cited Clinton's campaign contributions from Monsanto, the big developer of genetically modified foods. A third woman derided the Clinton White House-era limits on welfare and passage of the 1994 crime bill, which helped to fill our prisons. A fourth said Clinton has no charisma.
Tonight, as Clinton takes the stage to accept the Democratic nomination for president – the first woman in a major American party to do so – shouldn't she by right enter the embrace of this generation of women as the zenith of our aspirations? However, if this critical group is any measure, Clinton still has some winning-over to do. These women aren't ready to hand her that pointy glass-shattering hammer just yet. More »

Targa Resources Partners LP (NYSE:NGLS)
Q1 2010 Earnings Call Transcript
May 5, 2010 10:00 am ET
Anthony Riley – Senior Manager, Finance/IR
Rene Joyce – CEO
Jeff McParland – EVP and CFO
Matt Meloy – VP of Finance and Treasurer
Emily Wang – Raymond James
Lenny Brecken – Brecken Capital
Michael Blum – Wells Fargo
John Tysseland – Citi
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Targa Resources Partners first quarter 2010 conference call on the 5th of May, 2010. Throughout, today's recorded presentation all participants will be in a listen-only mode. After the presentation there will be an opportunity to ask questions. (Operator Instructions)
I will now hand the conference over to Anthony Riley. Thank you, sir. Please go ahead.
Anthony Riley
Thank you, operator. Good morning, everyone. I'm Anthony Riley and I would like to welcome you to Targa Resources Partners LP's first quarter 2010 investor call. Before we get started I would like to mention that the Partnership has published an earnings release, which is available on our website, TargaResources.com.
Speaking on the call today will be Rene Joyce, Chief Executive Officer; and Jeff McParland, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Rene and Jeff are going to be comparing the first quarter of 2010 results to prior-period results, as well as providing additional color on our results, current performance and other matters of interest.
Before we begin, I would like to remind you that this call contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934 as amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.
The future results of Targa Resources Partners LP may differ materially from those expressed from the forward-looking statements contained within this call. Many of the factors that will determine these results and values are beyond our ability to control or predict. These statements are necessarily based upon various assumptions involving judgments with respect to the future, including, among other things, weather, political, economic and market conditions, timing and success of business development efforts and other uncertainties. You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
One quick reminder before starting into the results, since the Downstream Business and the Partnership are entities under common control, the accounting treatment provides that the Partnership's reported results of operations now include the historical results of the Downstream Business for all periods presented. Please note that the first quarter 2010 and prior-period results discussed today do not include the results of the recently closed dropdown transaction.
With that, I will turn it over to Rene Joyce, our Chief Executive Officer.
Rene Joyce
Thanks, Anthony. Good morning and thanks to everyone for participating in Targa Resources Partner's first quarter 2010 conference call. Besides Jeff and myself, there are several members of management who will be able to assist in the Q&A session.
By way of agenda, I will start off with a review of our key accomplishments and business highlights followed by segment performance overview for the quarter. I will then turn it over to Jeff to review our consolidated financial results, detailed segment performance and other financial matters. Following Jeff's comments I'll provide updates on some ongoing activities at the partnership and finally we will take your questions.
First quarter 2010 adjusted EBITDA fully met our expectations and it was flat compared to the first quarter of last year. For a number of reasons, many of which we have discussed on previous calls and in press releases, first quarter 2010 was lower than the fourth quarter of '09.
We reported a distributable cash flow of $44 million, which corresponds to distribution coverage of a little over $1.1 for the quarter. First quarter performance was affected by several items, including weather and plant turnarounds.
In the marketing segments of the Downstream Business, early winter weather accelerated certain sales volumes and margin into the fourth quarter of '09 at the expense of the first quarter.
In the logistics asset segment we had plant turnarounds in several facilities and experienced lower nominative volumes under certain contracts that have commitments, which we expect to be satisfied over the remainder of 2010.
We are pleased to have recently closed the accretive acquisition of the West Texas assets and Coastal Straddle plants, which continues our stated strategy of seeking attractive and strategic acquisitions for the partnership, including businesses and assets from Targa.
The most recently transaction has enhanced our presence in the Permian Basin, increased the partnership scale and geographic diversity and should continue to position a partnership for future growth.
As we indicated when we announced the transaction, based on the recent performance of the dropdown and of the existing businesses of the partnership, management expects to recommend to the Board, following the second quarter, a $0.04 increase in the annual distribution rate to $2.11 per common unit from the current rate of $2.07.
The second quarter distribution declaration, including this increase if approved by the Board, is expected to be made in July 2010 and paid in August, so that the increase will take effect for the quarter. That includes the acquisition closing.
Turning to the segment level, I will first summarize the quarter's performance in our gathering and processing segment. First quarter 2010 plant inlet – natural gas inlet for the combined North Texas, San Angelo and Louisiana systems was 479 million cubic feet per day, an increase of approximately 17% compared to the same period in '09. The 17% increase year-over-year was driven primarily by a 52% increase and inlet at the Louisiana system somewhat offset by a 1% decrease at North Texas.
The increase at the LOU system was driven primarily by the addition of discretionary volumes somewhat offset by lower wellhead volumes. The slight decrease at North Texas is due to cold weather and the settlement of a contract dispute with a counterparty that provides for their ability to substitute the amount of physical volumes available to us for plant processing with a payment of the economic equivalent, both somewhat offset by new well connects.
Overall, our margin, after adjusting for hedge charges was just a little lower in the first quarter compared to last year due to lower hedge prices and volumes somewhat offset by higher unhedged market prices.
On a sequential basis, first quarter plant natural gas inlet for the combined systems increased 5% compared to the fourth quarter of '09 driven by increases at all three systems. The 5% North Texas increase over the fourth quarter is the net result of new well connects and milder temperatures in the first quarter offset by well declines.
The 2% San Angelo increase is primarily the result of more well connect activity, partially offset by colder ambient temperatures. The 6% LOU increase is primarily the result of higher discretionary volumes, somewhat offset by lower wellhead volumes. Despite the volume increases, first quarter operating margin was a little lower than the fourth quarter, again, primarily a function of hedges rolling off.
Next, I'll provide an overview for the three segments in the downstream business. Starting with a logistics asset segment, fractionation volumes for the first quarter of this year increased by 20,000 barrels per day or 10% to 210,000 barrels a day compared to 190,000 barrels a day a year ago.
The increase was driven primarily by higher volumes at Lake Charles fractionator resulting from NGL supply recovery from the impacts of the '08 hurricane season that affected '09 volumes, somewhat offset by lower CBF volumes.
CBF volumes at Bellevue decreased due to the negative effects of cold winter conditions on producing area NGL production during the quarter. First quarter operating margin in the logistics asset segment was more than 60% higher than last year, primarily due to the higher fixed portion of fractionation fees.
In the NGL distribution and marketing segment, NGL sales volumes for the quarter decreased by 32,000 barrels a day or 13% compared to '09. This decrease was driven primarily by the renegotiation of the contract with a major customer, which resulted in lower sales volumes while contract profitability was largely unchanged.
First quarter profitability in the NGL distribution and marketing segment was lower relative to '09, but this comparison is distorted by the impacts of unique lower of cost-to-market inventory adjustments in '08 that benefited the first quarter of '09.
In the wholesale marketing segment, NGL sales volumes for the quarter decreased by 1,000 barrels a day or 1% compared to '09 with the decrease driven primarily by lower refinery service volumes somewhat offset by higher wholesale propane volumes.
With slightly lower volumes and improved margins, first quarter wholesale operating margin was better than last year, although the first quarter of '09 was impacted by lower of cost or market inventory adjustments.
That wraps up my review, so I'll turn it over to Jeff to give you more details on our consolidated and segment financial performance.
Jeff McParland
Thanks, Rene. I'd like to add my welcome and thank you for joining our call today.
One reminder, as Anthony mentioned, under the common control accounting treatment, the Partnership's reported results of operation now include the historical results of the Downstream Business for all periods presented.
For the first quarter of 2010 the Partnership reported net income of $12.6 million or $0.14 per diluted limited partner unit, compared to a net loss of $5.3 million or a $0.09 loss per unit for the first quarter of '09. These quarterly results include non-cash hedge charges of $7.6 million in 2010 and $18.4 million in 2009.
Please also note that the net loss reported for the first quarter of 2009 included $14.8 million and interest expense from affiliates that was related to the downstream business for periods prior to its acquisition for the partnership.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter declined slightly to $62.4 million compared to $62.6 million. The decrease was primarily a result of lower operating margin in our natural gas gathering and processing segment before non-cash hedge amounts and of increases in other charges somewhat offset by an increase in operating margin for the downstream business compared to 2009.
Operating expenses increased by $3.7 million or 8% to $56 – $52.6 million for 2010 compared to $48.9 million for 2009, driven primarily by higher fuel and power costs due to higher natural gas prices and usage in the logistics asset segment. General and administrative expense increased slightly by $400,000 or 2% to $16.5 million for 2010.
Net interest expense for the quarter, excluding interest on affiliate indebtedness was approximately $15 million or about $6 million higher than 2009, primarily due to the issuance of our 11.25% notes. Maintenance capital expenditures were $3.7 million for the first quarter of 2010.
Let's take a look at segment operating margin results for the first quarter of this year compared to both the first and the fourth quarters of last year. Starting with the gathering and processing segment, first quarter 2010 operating margin was $40.8 million, compared to $31.6 million a year ago with the volume improvement, as Rene mentioned, entirely due to the LOU system discretionary volumes.
The $9.2 million operating margin increase was driven primarily by lower non-cash hedge charges of $7.6 million in 2010 compared to $18.4 million in 2009. After adjusting for the impacts of these non-cash hedge charges, first quarter 2010 operating margin would be $48.4 million compared to $50 million a year ago. The increase is primarily due to lower hedge volumes and prices, somewhat offset by higher average commodity prices.
First quarter average realized prices for natural gas, NGLs and condensate increased 15%, 79% and 83% respectively compared to last year. Compared to the fourth quarter of last year, first quarter operating margin declined $6.6 million or 14%. After adjusting for the impacts of non-cash hedge charges, first quarter 2010 operating margin was $48.4 million compared to $51.2 million for the fourth quarter.
This decrease was driven primarily by lower hedged volumes and prices, somewhat offset by higher average commodity prices and some volume improvement in the first quarter of 2010. Realized prices for natural gas NGLs and condensate increased 21%, 8% and 24% respectively, compared to the fourth quarter.
In the logistics asset segment, first quarter 2010 operating margin was $14.7 million compared to $9.1 million a year ago. The $5.6 million or 62% increase was driven primarily by the higher fixed portion of fractionation fees at Cedar Bayou fractionators or CBF and by higher fractionation volumes and associated fees at Lake Charles, Louisiana.
The volume improvement is due, in part to NGL supply recovery from the impacts of the 2008 hurricane season on 2009 production. These positive effects were somewhat offset by higher operating expenses this year.
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2009, first quarter operating margin declined by $14 million or 49% to $15 million. Fourth quarter results benefited from year-end reservation payments from customers on certain contracts, as well as higher fractionation and LSNG utilization.
Creating volumes at the LSNG unit for the first quarter was significantly lower compared to the fourth quarter due primarily to a customer turnaround. Planned maintenance and turnaround activity and higher fuel costs during 2010 also contributed to this sequential decrease.
In the NGL distribution and marketing segment, first quarter 2010 operating margin decreased by $5 million or 34% to $9.6 million compared to last year. First quarter 2009 results benefited from lower cost or market inventory adjustment taken in 2008.
Average realized prices increased 89% to $1.15 per gallon in 2010 compared to $0.61 per gallon in 2009. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2009, first quarter operating margin declined $4 million or 41%, driven primarily by lower LPG export sales and third-party marketing margins.
In the wholesale marketing segment, first quarter 2010 operating margin showed an increase of $2.5 million or 58% compared to last year driven primarily by lower cost of market inventory adjustments in last year's first quarter. Average realized prices increased by 50% to $1.41 per gallon for 2009 from $0.94 per gallon last year.
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2009, first quarter operating margin declined $6 million or 47% driven primarily by the acceleration of some sales volumes and margin into the fourth quarter of 2009 at the expense of the first quarter of 2010 in response to earlier than normal winter weather in the West. These negative effects were somewhat offset by higher wholesale propane volumes resulting from strong demand in some regions.
Now let's move briefly to capital structure, liquidity and hedging. At March 31st, we had approximately $564 million in capacity available under our senior secured revolving credit facility after giving effect to outstanding borrowings of $318 million, $77 million in letters of credit and a reduction in borrowing capacity as a result of the Lehman default.
We also had $66 million of cash on hand, bringing total liquidity at quarter end to approximately $630 million. Total funded debt at March 31 was approximately $747 million or about 43% of total capitalization. Our consolidated leverage ratio at quarter-end was approximately 2.6 times.
On January 19, 2010, we completed the public offering of 6.3 million common units at a price of $23.14 per common unit. Net proceeds of $140 million were applied to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Last week on April 27 we closed the acquisition from Targa of the West Texas assets and Coastal Straddle plants. Total consideration paid to Targa was $420 million in cash, funded entirely through borrowings under the Partnership's revolver.
Pro forma for the closing of the transaction, the Partnership's liquidity as of March 31, 2010 was approximately $170 million. A wrap-up with CapEx and hedging and then turn the call back to Rene.
Including the businesses we acquired last week, our estimated 2010 capital expenditures are approximately $145 million, with maintenance capital expenditures accounting for approximately 25% of that amount.
With respect to hedging our equity volumes within the natural gas gathered in the processing segment, we estimate that as we stand today we have hedged approximately 80% of our equity volumes of natural gas and have combined NGLs and condensate for 2010. These estimates include equity volumes and hedges associated with West Texas assets that we've just acquired.
That wraps up the financial overview, so now back to Rene.
Rene Joyce
Thanks, Jeff. I'd like to quickly provide an update on the 78,000 barrel a day fractionation expansion at Cedar Bayou fractionators. We're still on track to commence operations no later than the second quarter of next year. We have started mobilizing construction equipment onsite and have ordered all long-lead time equipment.
Regarding our volume outlook for the gathering and processing segment based on information available to date, we believe 2010 North Texas volumes will remain close to those of '09. San Angelo volume should exceed those of '09. And total 2010 Louisiana inlet volume should exceed those of '09 based on the current frac spread projections for this year.
For the recently acquired assets, this year's volume outlook has not changed since our press release update. We believe inlet volumes at both the West Texas assets and Coastal Straddle plants will exceed those above '09.
We are very pleased with the addition of both of these new gathering and processing systems into the Partnership. Our Permian presence is greatly enhanced. This is important given all the crude based drilling and work over activity we see in the Permian Basin. And of course this crude-based activity provides us with high GPM associated gas.
The Coastal Straddle plants provide a scaled position in the Gulf of Mexico where we represent one of the largest processors of offshore Gulf of Mexico production. Given the outlook for NGLs and natural gas, we believe these assets are well positioned to benefit given their contract mix consistent primarily of hybrid contracts, which have been settling as a percent of liquids and remaining Keppel [ph] percent of liquids and fee-based contracts.
As previously discussed, Targa has indicated to the partnership that it plans to engage the partnership in discussions and due diligence regarding a potential purchase by the partnership of the remaining businesses at Targa sometime during the second quarter of this year.
These businesses include Targa's joint venture interest in the Versado assets in the Permian Basin and the VESCO gathering and processing systems at the mouth of the Mississippi River. If terms can be reached, a closing of this final dropdown could occur before year-end.
With that, I'll conclude by saying that we continue to actively pursue new fee-based investment opportunities, potential opportunities for fee-based gathering assets in one of the shale plays as well as additional expansion opportunities within our Downstream Business.
That concludes the formal part of the call. We will now open it up for your questions.
Question-and-Answer Session
Thank you, sir. (Operator Instructions) And the first question today comes from Emily Wang from Raymond James. Please go ahead with your question.
Emily Wang – Raymond James
Hi. Good morning, guys.
Jeff McParland
Hi, Emily.
Rene Joyce
Good morning.
Emily Wang – Raymond James
Can you guys just comment on your EBITDA guidance? I know in early April you guys came out with $310 million to $330 million of guidance and that was based on an April 1 acquisition close. Given that it closed almost a month later, can you guys kind of provide updated guidance on that.
Matt Meloy
Sure, Emily. This is Matt. In terms of timing of the close, it did close on April 27, but the effective date is still going to be April 1. So the dropdown asset will be included in the results starting with April 1. So it'll be in the results for the full second quarter when we report that after the quarter end.
You know, as far as, you know, continuing guidance, you know, we gave that guidance as kind of a one-time deal and we had closed the dropdown acquisition and we're talking about closing, you know, the newly acquired assets, the Straddle and the Permian business.
You know, there were a lot of moving parts, so we wanted to provide some clarity out there for investors. So it's not something that we expect to update continually.
Emily Wang – Raymond James
Great. Okay. Thanks for the clarification on that. And could you guys kind of comment, you know, with these new assets in your system, what would be the average NGL content, say, on a GPM basis with, you know, West Texas and your legacy assets?
Rene Joyce
Yes. The GPM content and the Sand Hills is not much different than what you see at the San Angelo system, somewhere, I would say, close to 6 GPM or recoverable GPM. The Straddle plant business is typical of the kind of quality of gas you see from the Gulf of Mexico with that GPM being under 2G – recoverable GPM being under two.
Emily Wang – Raymond James
Okay. So, I guess, on an average basis could you kind of assume something between, you know, 2.5 to 3?
Rene Joyce
Well, with the Sand Hill system you're dealing with a volume that's around 120 million cubic feet a day and with the offshore systems well over 1 billion cubic feet a day. So, I mean, you could take those numbers and come up with your blend.
Emily Wang – Raymond James
Well, all right. I guess including everything else with LOU and Angelo and everything else?
Rene Joyce
I don't think we have a system-wide GPM number readily available.
Jeff McParland
You have to look at it by system. I think if you look at what we've said about LOU, given the discretionary volumes, the GPM mix there isn't entirely different than what you're going to see from there.
Rene Joyce
Jeff McParland
North Texas GPM recoverable is a little bit less.
Rene Joyce
Yes, North Texas GPM recoverable is somewhere around 4.8. You're dealing with closer to 6 at San Angelo and Sand Hills. And you're dealing with under 2 for both the LOU system because that's primarily processing discretionary gas off offshore pipelines. And so that's just the rough mix.
Emily Wang – Raymond James
Okay. Great. And then final question is bigger picture. You know, after, say the final dropdown and you guys start looking at more organic opportunities or perhaps more acquisitive third-party opportunities, what sort of shale regions would you guys kind of focus on or, you know, business lines? Would it be more gathering and processing or maybe more kind of a frac expansion?
Rene Joyce
Well, I don't think we'd be going in a frac expansion. With 78,000 barrels is probably all we'll be doing in Mount Bellevue. Although there are a number of fee-based projects around the liquids business, such as an upgrade to the LSNG unit, potential, you know, major connections to provide outlets for our projects at Bellevue plus import and export opportunities around LPGs at our Galena Park facility. All those that are projects we're working on.
We have been actively involved in a number of projects, potential projects in the shale plans – Painesville, Marcellus and Eagle Ford. Unfortunately, we haven't had a project to announce to date. We're still actively engaged in a number of projects. I think one of the benefits we have in a Marcellus is our wholesale propane terminals in the region that could help with liquid solutions in that area, plus our expertise on the gathering and processing side. But we're still actively engaged in a number of projects in the shale plays.
Emily Wang – Raymond James & Associates
Okay. Great. Thank you so much.
Thank you. And the next question comes from Lenny Brecken from Brecken Capital. Please go ahead with your question. Lenny Brecken, your line is open.
Lenny Brecken – Brecken Capital
I have three questions. Just regarding– if you look at the overall market for NGL and its– you know, and its components to be exported, can you just give us an update given the rise in the dollar, any recent trends on ethane prices or anything to give us comfort that the demand is still holding up?
Rene Joyce
Well, the– on the petrochemical side, even though the first quarter, first full month this year was plagued with a number of planned and not scheduled plant shutdowns from the petrochemical side of the business, utilization or operational rates have remained pretty high in the upper 80% and I think a lot of that is still driven by export opportunity. So, you know, even though ethane has fallen off, you know, somewhat in the first four months of this year, it's now back up to around $0.58, $0.59 a gallon. We're still optimistic that ethane will hold up for the remainder of this year as well as the other products.
We have not seen a lot of LPG imports into the Gulf Coast, none, to be exact. In fact, there's been more export opportunities for LPGs rather than import, given the number of issues in that industry around the world. So we're still optimistic about the petrochemical utilization of the lighter end of the barrel for the remainder of this year.
Lenny Brecken – Brecken Capital
Okay. And then just a follow-up on it, can you just give us an update any activity on the hedging side recently, if you can disclose anything? And where do you think your coverage ratio is going to be sequentially? If you can give me some guidance in terms of that.
Jeff McParland
I don't think you'll see us giving guidance of the coverage ratio sequentially. We just talked about what we do infrequently on our guidance. On hedging, no major new disclosures. Our hedging program remains consistent and the only new difference to that hedging program is we aren't hedging out as far on natural gas liquids because we believe that sort of post-three-year discount on financial products is a little more than we want to sign up for.
Rene Joyce
And we recognize that the coverage for the first quarter, for all the reasons we've talked about, was lower than what we've historically had. I wouldn't draw any conclusions about the first quarter. There was just too much noise between the fourth and first quarter and a number of items in the first quarter that will adjust itself out over the remainder of the year.
Lenny Brecken – Brecken Capital
Okay. That's what I wanted to hear and that you weren't panicked on the…
Rene Joyce
No. No. No, no, no. We knew, like I opened in my opening remarks, that we anticipated what the quarter was going to look like based on what we saw occurring in the fourth quarter of last year and the announced turnarounds. So it's not only our turnarounds but also turnarounds that impacted some of our customers, mainly the turnaround on one of our customers at the LSNG units. So none of that– none of what we saw in the first quarter was unexpected.
Lenny Brecken – Brecken Capital
And one last question. The projects that you're working on in the shale area, is that working at the parent level or at the LP level?
Rene Joyce
No. It's not at the parent level. Everything that we're contemplating would be done at the MLT.
Lenny Brecken – Brecken Capital
Okay. Great. Thank you.
Thank you, sir. And the next question comes from Michael Blum from Wells Fargo. Please go ahead with your question.
Michael Blum – Wells Fargo
Thanks. Good morning, everyone.
Rene Joyce
Good morning, Michael.
Michael Blum – Wells Fargo
Just a couple of quick ones really. One, just a point of clarification, in terms of the remaining assets at the parent, are you saying that you could have an announcement on a potential deal like a deal signed in the second quarter or are you going to start negotiations in the second quarter?
Rene Joyce
No. We're going to start the process with the independent committee and which requires their due diligence and other stuff in the second quarter. And we anticipate it closing before the end of the year.
Michael Blum – Wells Fargo
Okay. Thanks for that. Second question, I think I know the answer but just to make sure. Are you at all impacted particularly with the Straddle plants with the spill in the Gulf?
Rene Joyce
No. There– right now it's occurring east of the Mississippi River and kind of the currents from the river is acting as a natural barrier but, no, none of our operations have been impacted to date. There's the potential that some barge activity between Pascagoula, Galena Park and Florida could be impacted but we believe that would be minor. What we have to see play out is what are the future regulations that will come out of this and how does that impact future Gulf of Mexico drilling activity. We're still very optimistic about the Gulf of Mexico, particularly as an oil producing basin. But we'll just see how– what comes out of this event.
Michael Blum – Wells Fargo
Okay. And then last question is just, you know, it sounds like volumes will be up pretty much across all your systems. Wondering if you're willing to put any kind of numbers around that, just in order of magnitude. Are we talking 1% to 2%, 5%, 10%? Just any kind of – just an aggregate, I guess.
Rene Joyce
No. Up is the best I'd describe it, Michael. And part of the issue is we're definitely going to see a nice increase at San Angelo because we are on record, well hookups and, you know, the other systems are holding their own. But in Louisiana, where we can put on these discretionary volumes and that's solely dependent on the frac spread and the fact that we're going to have a new connection with the Kinder Morgan Pipeline, those volumes can move up and down significantly. So I would just say we – overall the volumes will be up for this year. I'm just not prepared to say what.
Michael Blum – Wells Fargo
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you. And the next question comes from John Tysseland from Citi. Please go ahead with your question.
John Tysseland – Citi
Hi, guys. Good morning. I guess the – just a couple questions on – general industry questions. When you look at your – across your system, you know, are you pretty – are you surprised by how quickly producers have been able to bring up their production in NGLs and then also do you see any kind of bottlenecks? And are you starting to see producers looking into processing expansions and willing to contract something out with – on any of your systems at this point or do you think you have a sufficient capacity?
Rene Joyce
We have sufficient capacity in all of our systems. We've got, at Sand Hills, about another 30 million a day. San Angelo, we've got a 25-million-a-day plant that's on immediate standby. In North Texas, we've got significant capacity. That's true for Central [ph] Louisiana in our Straddle plant business. So, no, we would not be expanding our processing plants at the current locations. Now, there are situations where we may be building a new plant, one of the shale plays or we could be using one of our spare plants at our location.
The ramp-up in drilling activity is somewhat surprising in the Permian Basin. We knew the activity would be solid a year ago, but the – just the number of rigs moving into that oil play, primarily Wolfcamp and Sprayberry had surprised us. And our record well hookup in San Angelo was in '07, and we have every indication to date that we will exceed that by a wide margin. So I would say the only thing is in the Permian that's kind of surprised us the number of rigs that have moved in, particularly on the acreage dedicated to us.
John Tysseland – Citi
And then also where you do have capacity available on the processing side? Do you have available takeaway capacity for the NGLs once they come out of that unit or is that something that you would need to look at further?
Rene Joyce
We have been looking at that issue because we are bumping up some but we have, I think developed what I would call backup plans or additional options that it should not impact the amount of gas we bring into our systems.
John Tysseland – Citi
And then also at this point are you looking at longer-term fractionation contracts on your systems or how much is rolling off this year on a percentage basis that would come up for re-contracting and potentially all margins?
Rene Joyce
Those contracts come up on a continuous basis, and, you know, we're probably – I would say everything we do on the frac side is going to be done on the long-term contracts at current rates. Spot activity is diminishing over time and the amount of rollover on those contracts this year; I don't even think we have a number.
(Operator Instructions)
Rene Joyce
Thank you, operator, and to the extent anyone has any follow-up questions, please feel free to contact Jeff or any of us. Thank you again for your time this morning and I look forward to speaking with you again.

BRANDON — All 18 members of the Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union Board voted unanimously Wednesday night to offer the job of RNeSU superintendent to Jeanne Collins under a one-year contract. She implied in an email to theReporter that she would accept the offer.
The vote was taken following a 90-minute executive session in which the board heard the recommendation of the interview committee and deliberated the decision to offer Collins the job and, if so, for how long.
BRANDON — The Brandon selectboard has found a compromise on the next town budget offering, and set the next re-vote for June 24. This will be the third time this year Brandon voters have cast ballots on a municipal spending plan.
After a lengthy discussion at a regular meeting Tuesday night, members of the board unanimously approved sending the last failed spending amount of $3,218,670 back to the voters.

BRANDON — A choice of one is not a choice. That was the message to the Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union Executive Board from the community on Monday evening after a forum introducing the candidates for superintendent. In the end, the public urged the board to re-post the superintendent position, but for now, the board will continue the process it began.
BRANDON — The efforts of Brandon Fire District No. 1 have once again been recognized in creating the best drinking water in the state.
The district has received a 2014 Governor's Award for Environmental Excellence in the municipal category for its Comprehensive Groundwater Source Protection Plan and for being the first municipality in the state to receive Class II reclassification of its drinking water sources.
Brandon Water Supervisor Ray Counter said he is pleased with the recognition.
BRANDON — Some people have said it was long overdue, but everyone agrees that Friday's dedication of the Otter Valley softball field to longtime coach Patty Candon was just right.
More than 100 fans, parents, students, friends and family members attended the dedication on a gusty afternoon, but the gray skies did not overshadow the jubilant mood. There were hugs all around as current and former players and fellow coaches congratulated Candon on a legacy of sportsmanship and respect.
OTTER VALLEY UNION High School softball coach Patty Candon speaks during a dedication ceremony at the school's softball field last Friday. The field has been named Candon Field in her honor.

BRANDON — Here we go again. Brandon residents defeated the proposed town budget on a re-vote Tuesday, 498-318.
It was a $3,218,670 proposed spending plan, with $2,613,995 to be raised by taxes, which represented a 12.2 percent tax increase.
While the original Town Meeting Day vote resulted in a 44 percent voter turnout, Tuesday's vote only drew 29 percent of the electorate despite a mass mailing and selectboard members pounding the pavement.
BRANDON — Voters OK'd a revised Neshobe Elementary School budget in an April 22 re-vote, by a tally of 458-276.
Around 60 percent of those who showed up at the polls this past Tuesday favored the spending plan, which was defeated March 4 (638-576); but only a little more than half as many people cast ballots compared with the Town Meeting Day election.
The $5,321,670 spending plan contained a 1.36 percent increase in expenditures over the current budget and will raise the local school tax rate by 1 cent, from $0.69 to $0.70.
BRANDON — Rutland Northeast Superintendent John Castle is heading home.
The 49-year-old is leaving RNeSU in June for Newport's North Country Supervisory Union, which encompasses Castle's hometown. He will take the superintendent reins from Robert Kern, who is retiring after seven years.
Castle relocated from his hometown of Holland, Vt., five years ago to become the superintendent at RNeSU after longtime supervisory union head Bill Mathis retired in 2009.
BRANDON / FAIR HAVEN — The Rutland Northeast and Rutland Addison supervisory unions on March 26 both passed resolutions officially rejecting H.833, the school consolidation bill.
The RNeSU resolution reads as follows:

Tribune Opinion: We're still waiting on a farm bill
March 1, 2013
This feels like deja vu all over again. It was the end of December when Congress and the White House pushed a budget deal to the 11th hour — or, actually the 13th hour — to avoid a budget and financial markets crisis.
This Friday, more automatic federal budget cuts are scheduled to kick in, unless our nation's elected leaders surprise the heck out of political pundits and reach agreement on a package of spending cuts and tax hikes to avoid the so-called sequestration. What are the chances a deal will be reached? According to a recent survey, about 60 percent of economists say they don't anticipate a deal and about $85 billion in federal budget cuts will automatically go into effect beginning March 1.
Fortunately, most economists don't expect a recession scenario as a result of the new spending cuts — at least not yet. But many also agree that a deeper economic impact could come later as the cuts begin to trickle through the economy. Oh joy.
What frustrates us beyond the obvious inability of Congress and the White House to do anything productive is this: Once again, the nation's farm bill is getting caught up in this mess.
The 2008 farm bill expired Sept. 30 of last year. Farm bills are five-year pieces of legislation that provide funding for commodity, research and conservation programs that affect farmers and ranchers, with the bulk of the dollars going to food-assistance and nutrition programs.
Ag producers have been patiently waiting for a new five-year bill, but it got lost in the shuffle of the fiscal cliff discussions that dominated the final days of 2012 and the early days of 2013. The 2008 bill was extended for nine years in an emergency piece of legislation that passed Jan. 2, but most in the ag industry are unhappy. Many elements of the '08 bill are out of date or incompatible with today's best practices, and don't reflect significant changes in commodity prices that have occurred in recent years. A simple extension doesn't provide producers the kind of "road map" they need so they can plan ahead.
Now ag producers must sit and wait, again. Discussions of a new farm bill aren't expected to take place until mid-March, the agricultural policy staffer for U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., said a couple weeks ago.
We won't pass blame on any particular branch of government or any particular party that holds power in Congress or the White House. But we'll say this: It's a good thing farmers and ranchers don't operate like our nation's elected officials. We'd likely be a very hungry nation if they did.

This envy-inducing eco-chic resort is set in a sublime bay accessible only by boat – dramatic, smooth, granite boulders frame a picture perfect crescent of golden sand. You share the sea here with just a few other guests and a handful of local lobster fishermen in their traditional coracles. This is a total escape from reality.
The 59 villas, all with pools, are set along the beach, dotted through the hillside or built into granite boulders. There is a seriously 'at one with nature' barefoot appeal here with absolutely no compromise on the luxury. Think reclaimed polished teak and beautiful handcrafted bathtubs with airy drapes wafting in the warm breeze. Water Villas are perched directly on the water's edge with wood steps leading down into the sea – sheer heaven for water babies; they also have a private deck and delightful plunge pool. The Rock Pool Villas are a particular favourite of ours; perched between the granite boulders they look as if moulded by nature with plunge pools set into the rocks. Hilltop Villas have truly spectacular vistas facing the mountain ranges of Nha Trang and the East Vietnam Sea, whilst the Beach Front Pool Villas offer direct beach access.
Dining by the Bay offers east-meets-west and an Asian-fusion inspired menu, while Dining by the Pool is an anything-goes, casual lunch spot. Dining by the Rocks is the signature dining performance in a natural, yet very intimate, setting overlooking the bay. For cocktails and mocktails head to Drinks by the Bay which is open long after the sun has set.
If it's a sanctuary for the senses that you are after then look no further than the exceptional Six Senses Spa; pamper yourself with a traditional Vietnamese or signature treatment or indulge in a complete Yogic wellness programme.
No matter how hard you try it is impossible to be bored here. For the early birds, there is early morning Tai Chi or yoga and for the energetic, mountain hiking trails, kayaking, scuba diving, snorkelling and boat charters. If you can bear to tear yourself away from this magical piece of paradise, head out into the countryside on a cyclo tour, explore Nha Trang or perhaps take a boat trip down the Cai River ending at the hot springs for a wallow in the mineral-rich mud!

I'm looking to buy a 32" LCD for the bedroom. I've heard good things about Westinghouse so I decided to look at some of their offerings. There's the 32w4 (with DVD player) and the 32w6 (no DVD player). How is the quality of these sets? Is there a difference between the screen of the 32w4 and the 32w6? The 32w4 is a bit more expensive, but that's probably just due to the DVD player right (which I don't care much about)?
Any other suggestions (ie. different brand/model)?

Welcome! Edit
Hi SCC-47106 -- we are excited to have Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons as part of the Wikia community! Thanks for joining us, and we'd like to give you some tips to help you get started on making your wiki great.
Your first four steps: Edit
1. Create your User Page - this is a great place to introduce yourself (and practice wiki-editing!)
2. Add a logo - learn how to create a logo image, then click here to add it to the wiki.
3. Create your first 10 articles - use the box on the right to create ten pages, starting each one off with a few sentences. For example if you are starting a wiki on a TV show, you might create an article for each main character and for each episode of the show.
4. Edit your Main Page - add internal links to the ten articles you just created, and any other improvements you can think of.
Once you've done these four things, you've created a great starting point -- your wiki looks friendly and ready for visitors. You can then invite some friends to help you create the next twenty pages, and expand the ones you've built.
Keep going! The more pages you create and link to each other, the sooner that others who are searching for "Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons" will be able find your project in search engines, read your content and join you in editing.
If you have more questions, we've provided a full set of help pages, or you can email us through our contact form. Don't forget to check out other wikis on Wikia for ideas on layout, organizing your pages, and more. Have fun!
Best wishes, Angela
SCC-47106 Edit
chunkyman40000 Edit
On the Captain Brown page, would you please put the contents outside of the infobox like everybody else's wikia?
SCC-47106 Edit
Once I know specifically how to do that, done.SCC-47106 21:17, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

May I "adopt"/become an administrator/bureaucrat on this wiki?
Kind regards,

I cannot delete a profile. If you're referencing the "plagiarism" incident involving WeltonArsenal, I repeat: it took place on Thunderbirds Wiki. Not this one.
As a side note, please be civil when messaging others. I don't appreciate people using capital letters and exclamation marks to me. Sniping is AwesomeSpeak to the Sniper 00:51, January 1, 2016 (UTC)
- No one on Thunderbirds Wiki is listening to me. Please can you leave WeltonArsenal on Thunderbirds Wiki and message (talk page: http://thunderbirds.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:WeltonArsenal) requesting he remove plagiarised content on the pages "Tracy Island" and "Firefly". I have asked him before and he deletes my messages. He must be thinking copyright is not a big deal.
- Thanks.
- Sniping is AwesomeSpeak to the Sniper 00:43, January 2, 2016 (UTC)
Please can you block Guyus24 for six months? He's removed a message from WeltonArsenal's talk page; only WeltonArsenal should be removing content from his talk page. Guyus24 says it's defamatory content, but it's not: it's a fact. WeltonArsenal plagiarised from a copyrighted book and this is not acceptable. Thank you.
