The Wasted Climate Crisis
by Eric Weltman
December 15, 2010 | 01:17 PM
When BP's Deepwater Horizon rig exploded on April 20, killing 11 workers, the ensuing environmental crisis could have been a transformative moment for our nation's energy policy. It wasn't.
In the midst of widespread public outrage against the oil industry, years of effort by environmental organizations culminated in the Senate's failure to vote on a bill to combat climate change and spark a transition to renewable energy. Nor did the Senate approve needed reforms to the Oil Pollution Act that would eliminate the liability cap on oil companies.
The lack of results revealed tensions within the movement—differences revealed in climate change legislation that many environmentalists were glad to see die.
The Environmental 'Enthusiasm Gap'
In 2006, Fred Krupp, head of the Environmental Defense Fund, forged a coalition with business leaders to break the logjam on climate change legislation. The U.S. Climate Action Partnership included Jim Rogers, CEO of Duke Energy, one of the nation's largest electric utilities, as well as BP, General Electric and DuPont. The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and the Nature Conservancy also joined the coalition, but industry's influence was such that, as Eric Pooley reported in Bloomberg Businessweek, at one point Rogers was "basically negotiating with himself."
Then in 2008, a newly elected Barack Obama declared that "delay is no longer an option" on climate change, making energy legislation one of his top domestic priorities. With a Democratic-controlled Congress, environmentalists saw a "golden opportunity," said one funder, and poured resources into Washington to pass a climate change bill.
The resulting legislation reflected this insider approach. The House narrowly approved the Waxman-Markey bill in June 2009, while a Senate version didn't emerge until May of this year. When it did, it was loaded with giveaways, including subsidies for nuclear power and expanded offshore drilling.
To the ire of many environmentalists, the Senate bill eliminated the Environmental Protection Agency's authority under the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gases. This was, in effect, says Greenpeace lobbyist Kyle Ash, "giving away existing tools that work in exchange for policies we don't know work."
The biggest handout of all, though, came in the form of pollution credits that Obama had proposed auctioning off but that the Senate bill would have provided to industry free of charge.
Krupp had assured Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham in October 2009 that environmentalists would be flexible on most other energy issues as long as the Senate legislation maintained the House emission reduction targets, according to Ryan Lizza, writing in The New Yorker. It was a spirit of generosity toward industry reflected by Democrat and one-time Presidential hopeful Sen. John Kerry, one of the bill's chief sponsors, who announced in June, "We believe we have compromised significantly, and we're prepared to compromise further."
However, some in the movement took sharp aim at industry's heavy hand in crafting the legislation. Moreover, activists charged that neither the House nor Senate bills would prevent climate catastrophe. "It wasn't in line with what science is telling us we have to do," said May Boeve of 350.org, a grassroots organization founded by author Bill McKibben. Climate Reality Check, a coalition including Greenpeace, Public Citizen and Friends of the Earth, faulted the legislation for falling "very short" of what is necessary to reduce greenhouse gasses to safe levels.
The legislation was the product of a strategy "to get the bill across the finish line by putting something in that takes care of every part of the opposition," said Betsy Taylor, co-founder of 1Sky, a climate change advocacy group.
The insider approach, charged some critics, also led advocates to take too much of their lead from the White House, particularly around messaging. At an April 2009 meeting, Carol Browner, Obama's energy czar, told environmentalists not to publicly discuss climate change but to focus on green jobs and energy independence. An Obama campaign operative, Paul Tewes, was brought in to run Clean Energy Works, a coalition created to coordinate advocacy around the bill, adopting the slogan "More Jobs. Less Pollution. Greater Security."
The result was an "enthusiasm gap" among environmental activists. "It wasn't the kind of policy that would motivate the base of the climate change movement to really fight for it," said Boeve.
On March 31, Obama announced plans to expand offshore drilling, part of a grand bargain to get the bill through the Senate, according to Antonia Juhasz, author of The Tyranny of Oil and director of Global Exchange's energy program.
Disaster in the Gulf—and the Beltway
Three weeks later, the Deepwater Horizon exploded.
Environmental organizations quickly mobilized. Greenpeace and NRDC sent staff to the Gulf to conduct independent assessments and provide media commentary. The Sierra Club organized rallies at dozens of BP stations across the country, while more than 180,000 members e-mailed Obama, urging his leadership in reducing the nation's reliance on oil—their largest-ever response to a call to action.
Meanwhile, in Washington, the disaster made things "a little more complicated," said Ash.
In the midst of the nation's largest oil spill, environmentalists had a weak climate change bill that promoted oil drilling. At the same time, polls showed that the public didn't understand the bill's "cap-and-trade" system for reducing emissions—a system that was "too complex to explain," as Brent Blackwelder, former president of Friends of the Earth, put it.
"The public anger was there, the frustration was there" to achieve a sweeping change in energy policy, claims John Hocevar of Greenpeace, but what the environmental movement didn't do "was adequately give people constructive outlets for their anger and outrage."
In the wake of the disaster, energy was the top issue among Democracy for America members, political director Charles Chamberlain told The Hill, a Washington newsletter. "But we polled our members about whether we should be fighting for the bill and it wasn't even close. The answer was no."
Juhasz notes the bill's advocates had accepted expanded offshore drilling in exchange for oil industry support.
Consequently, Boeve says, "Environmental groups weren't ready to vilify the oil companies and the senators who love them."
"They made a deal with the devil, and the devil walked away from the table," Juhasz says. Lacking sufficient votes, Majority Leader Harry Reid announced on July 22 that the Senate wouldn't take up the bill. With Republicans in control of the House after the November 2 election, prospects for passing climate legislation have only worsened.
After five years, fewer Americans now believe that man-made climate change is real," said Denis Hayes, president of the Bullitt Foundation and organizer of the first Earth Day in 1970. "You have to have a post-mortem after that."
Some in the movement have concluded that it would be better not to have to rely on the fossil fuel industry to pass a climate change bill. The basic problem is a lack of political power. Blackwelder puts it this way, "We are not posing a threat to oust members of Congress."
The solution, he believes, is building a movement that can play hardball.
The Sierra Club has been radicalized, some say, under new Executive Director Michael Brune, who took the helm in March with a greater focus on corporate power. The Sierra Club, with 64 local chapters, is the most grassroots-based of the national organizations and responded to the BP disaster by calling on Obama to create a plan to move the nation off oil within 20 years.
McKibben's 350.org is also mobilizing the grassroots. On October 10, the organization sponsored a "Global Work Party," with 7,347 events in 188 countries—from film-screenings to letter-writing—calling for political action on climate change.
It is work that may benefit from a shift in focus, away from the Beltway and toward a broader base. "This is not an environmental issue," says Kelsey Wirth, boardmember of the Winslow Foundation. "It's a societal challenge. This is about the future of the world." Ash agrees: "There's a general consensus that the climate change issue cannot be dominated by environmentalists."

Forget blaming enviros; as ever, wealthy industrialists are to blame
by Lance Holter
In 2003, I traveled, along with my friend and fellow Mauian Scott Heller, on a filmmaking expedition to the Arctic Ocean. We were invited guests of Robert and Jane Thompson, Inupiat Eskimos and residents of the Arctic village of Kacktovik who had earlier stayed at my home in Paia. During my stay I witnessed and heard first-hand from the Natives evidence of global warming: fish never before seen in the rivers, the movement of the tree line into the tundra, the permafrost melting and no longer allowing the use of traditional summer ice boxes to store whale and seal meat, strange climate episodes and storms trapping and killing herds of caribou near the village, gigantic fires burning millions of acres, long portions of shoreline disappearing into the Beaufort and Chuckchic seas, forcing villages to move inland.
The following year, I was part of another Alaskan expedition with wilderness photographer Robert Ketchum who had just come from a scientific expedition in Greenland where climatologists and geologists had discovered the Greenland ice melt was occurring faster than had ever been imagined. (Elizabeth Kolbert wrote about these events in the spring of 2005, in an award-winning three-part story in The New Yorker.)
As a result, I was a climate-change believer before Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth was released in 2006, making global warming a household phrase.
Unfortunately, for eight years the United States had oil men in the White House. These same oil men and their economic/cabinet advisers created America's energy policy, refused to participate in the Kyoto treaty and put in place an administrative bureaucracy with regulatory agencies that led to the Horizon Oil catastrophe in the gulf, among other calamities, including and culminating in the near collapse of the U.S. economy. A popular uprising occurred and President Obama was elected in 2008. No one predicted what would happen next.
It has come to light (in stories like Rolling Stone's January expose "Why the Global Warming Bill Never Stood a Chance" and the August New Yorker story "Covert Operations") that billionaires, including the Koch brothers, have hijacked our democracy, financing think tanks like the Cato Institute, Mercatus Center and political front groups like the American Enterprise Institute and the American Heritage Foundation, with the intent of disseminating climate denial and steering public opinion. The main goal: to further de-regulate the chemical, petroleum and coal industries while protecting their profits.
Examples of these efforts include funding the Tea Party movement as the "boots on the ground," arguing that smog is good for public health as it decreases skin cancer and gifting huge grants to the National and American Cancer Society while at the same time arguing that formaldehyde (Koch Industries and subsidiary Georgia-Pacific produce 2.2 billion pounds a year) does not cause cancer in humans.
The other goal was to discredit President Obama and restore a Republican majority to Congress. The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling Citizens United, which lifted restrictions on corporate campaign contributions, certainly seemed to be part of the grand plan. (For more on climate change denial and the Koch brothers, visit
It is disingenuous to claim that environmental groups were part of this corporate onslaught, or that simply playing hardball is going to solve the problem. As the new Sierra Club Executive Director, Michael Brune said in The Atlantic, "Politicians and clean energy advocates must stop talking about policy and start showing people how clean energy solutions that are available right now will make their lives better."
Simply put: our environment is our economy. The financial and ecological sectors are inextricably connected, and we must see challenges like climate change as an opportunity to create a better future. Our lives depend on it.

This software also provides real user monitoring, robotic monitoring and Internet service monitoring.
Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Transactions:
- Enables proactive management of transactions—by helping to identify bottlenecks and other potential problems before they impact customer satisfaction. This software helps you reduce mean time to repair (MTTR) through shorter problem isolation times.
- Monitors user response times—for both web and Microsoft Windows applications. The software provides an agentless web monitoring component with the ability to dynamically switch monitoring levels. It generates an alert when an established response time threshold is exceeded.
- Uses robotic monitoring techniques—for impact analysis. Robotic capabilities generate synthetic transactions for web-based and Microsoft Windows applications to track their response times. This helps provide service availability for business-critical applications.
- Tests Internet services that impact user experience—by providing a suite of monitors that measure services availability, performance and content through periodic polling from specific points within the infrastructure.
Enables proactive management of transactions
- Provides a view of response time for multiple production systems. This helps you to more quickly isolate the cause of response time and availability problems and notify the appropriate specialist.
- Delivers unequalled domain coverage for transaction tracking. Uses automatically generated topology mappings to follow the path of a user transaction for the many domains of your business infrastructure. This makes it easier for you to evaluate a transaction in its entirety. The process is transparent to users.
- Automatically establishes a baseline for each domain based on historical performance data. When a performance threshold has been exceeded, the software compares the performance against the baseline to help determine the root cause of the problem.
Monitors user response times
- Allows you to adapt a user's perspective when measuring transaction performance. The software filters user response time down to specific transactions by time, user, ID or session.
- Enables you to capture performance data from real web-based customer transactions. The software can use response time information to help identify the impact to overall business services.
- Allows you to measure the performance of HTTP and HTTPS requests including performance information for objects embedded in a web page.
- Provides near real time monitoring of Microsoft Windows applications at the client level. This enables you to make highly accurate measurements of response times.
- Correlates network activity to transactions that occur in monitoring applications. This software is ideal for monitoring thick-client applications such as IBM Lotus® Notes® and Microsoft Outlook.
Uses robotic monitoring techniques
- Supports playback of multiple scripts from a single situation and helps reduce the amount of configuration required.
- Can monitor a wide variety of applications. By monitoring simulated transactions on an ongoing basis, you can proactively manage the availability and performance of your applications and identify potential bottlenecks before they impact customer satisfaction.
- Includes the functionality of both IBM Rational® Robot and IBM Rational Performance Tester to record and playback simulated user transactions for analysis. The software also provides support for products like LoadRunner and Robot GUI, and supporting custom scripts.
Tests Internet services that impact user experience
- Can proactively log into a web address, perform FTP file transfers and execute lookups.
- Tests can be grouped together to facilitate service-level reporting. Flexible report options can help IT administrators compare multiple services based on multiple values. You can use tests to measure performance against service level agreements (SLAs).
- Internet service monitoring measures availability, performance and content accuracy of services through 24 protocols. These monitors can be used to periodically poll critical Internet services such as DNS, DHCP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP4 and LDAP.

"if Amazon's computing cloud sees you looking at the New York Times home page, and it predicts, based on other user statistics, that you are somewhat likely to next click on some NY Times subpage link, then the Amazon servers will go ahead and download that next link, and cache it, in case you do click on it next, so that it can serve it up more quickly."
What is your immediate response to that description of the "Silk" browser software on Amazon's Kindle Fire pad? Are you amazed at the pace of technological change? Or are you curious about how the software works? Does it cause you to speculate about other applications?
Or do you immediately ask whether the caching is copyright infringement, or is it fair use, is it permitted by a safe harbour provision? That is the question Stephan Kinsella asked. Why would that respond spring to mind before others. Kinsella is concerned by the way in which laws, in this case intellectual property laws, rely on unexamined assumptions about technology. But when technology changes and courts try to apply laws to new technologies there are unexpected and often negative results. Many self described technology lawyers are familiar with the reflexive dynamic of intellectual property law and information and communications technology but its not just in intellectual property law and its not ICT's for which this is true.
Who is responsible for damage caused by genetically modified organisms that reproduce in the wild? If one country, in an attempt to manage the climate change resulting from global warming, releases reflective sulfate particles into the upper atmosphere with the result that the climate changes for the worse for neighbouring countries is there a remedy in international law? Is is lawful to make part human part dolphin chimera's?
But hasn't the law always had to play catch up to technological change? From silks to motor cars and aircraft to video recorders* the law has responded sooner or later (but usually later) regulating use, assigning liability and (far too infrequently) assuring freedom. The law, especially common law, has responded through the incremental adaptation that characterises law. Occasionally law has been changed dramatically in response to a particular technological development usually through passing a comprehensive statute. Ironically these kinds of attempts at comprehensive change are often the most time bound and become anachronistic more quickly than the more flexible common law.
It may not be possible to quantify but it seems that something in the relationship of law and technology has changed. As I see it the pace, range and impact of technological change have each increased so much that law can no longer rely on ad hoc approach to technological change. Instead what is needed is a systematic approach that seeks to understand the relationships between law, technology and society.
It isn't simply a matter of trying to speed up the process of law making. Overhasty and under theorised law making can be even more disastrous than a delay between the appearance of problems and a legal response. The systematic response must enable scientists and technologists to share a common framework with policy makers so that conversations about new technologies draw on all the available disciplines and knowledge. Lawyers need conceptual tools that will help them take into account the unknown and the unknoweable, risk but also benefits. Jurisprudence must take account of technology as a phenomenon.
*For younger readers a "video recorder" is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as "n. an apparatus for making video recordings; spec. a form of tape recorder for recording television programmes from the broadcast signal."

Toronto Maple Leafs Schedule |
The Maple Leafs had a devastating end to the season last year, with the Boston Bruins scoring twice in 31 seconds to tie Game Seven to force overtime after the Leafs rallied from a 3-1 series deficit. But after years of frustration, the Leafs hadn't made the playoffs since '04, Maple Leafs fans have to be happy the team is winning games again. If anything, the heartbreak of last season should help harden a young team get back to the playoffs. General Manager Dave Nonis decided to make some moves during the off-season, bringing in some high-powered talent to help the Maple Leafs in the new Atlantic Division. With center Dave Bolland, who won the Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks, on board, the Leafs have a veteran presence on the bench that should help the team get to the next level. Goaltender James Reimer will be backed up by Jonathan Bernier, who was acquired from the Los Angeles Kings. The penalty kill was a strength for Toronto last year and the team will be counted on to keep that up as they seek to make a deep playoff run. But of course its not all new blood, as the team had a talented core last season. Toronto Maple Leaf fans will get used to right-winger David Clarkson, who was given a seven year deal. Young center Nazem Kadri had a solid season last year, acquiring 44 points in 48 games and the front officer is hoping he can keep it up. They Maple Leafs need you in the stands at the Air Canada Centre so get your tickets as soon as you can! The 2013 Maple Leafs season started on an bad note, as right wing Phil Kessel was suspended for pre-season games after slashing John Scott of the Buffalo Sabres and David Clarkson was suspended for 10 regular season games for leaving the bench. You can expect there is going to be a lot of attention on Toronto's trip to Boson on November 9, when they return to the TD Garden. This year, Maple Leafs tickets will definitely be in high demand, as the Leafs enjoy one of the most rabid fan bases in all of sports. If you have never been in the Air Canada Centre when the home team makes a goal you are missing one of the most electrifying times in hockey. And if you have been there, you know what we mean! Either way, the experience never gets old, so be sure to get your Maple Leafs hockey tickets now. Maple Leaf Rivalries:As one of the original six hockey teams, the Maple Leafs have formed some of the most intense rivalries in sports. The biggest rivalry is of course with the Montreal Canadiens, which doubles as a rivalry between Canada's two largest cities, Toronto and Montreal. The Leafs vs Canadiens rivalry is the oldest in the NHL, and their playoff history is well known. With such high tension between these teams, Maple Leafs vs Canadiens tickets will always be some of the hottest in hockey. The other big Maple Leaf rivalry is also versus a Canadian team in the Ottawa Senators, also known as the "Battle of Ontario." As both the Maple Leafs and Senators compete in the Northeast Division, they meet regularly during the regular season. These are high-flying games and tickets for Leafs vs Senators games are some of the hottest in all of sports. There's something special about watching Canadian teams play hockey against each other, and watching them at the Air Canada Centre is even better. Move fast and get Toronto Maple Leafs hockey tickets so that you can be there for the biggest games of the year. Maple Leafs info:
Go back to NHL hockey |

Not worth itPros: Cheap Cons: Did not last more than a few weeks Other Thoughts: Did not bother to return it but will never buy a Lenmar battery again. I was able to get a free battery at the AT&T store. Should have tried that before purchasing one... Did you find this review helpful? |
Junk-Bad BatteryPros: It fits. It didn't leak, catch fire or explode. Cons: Worked ok for about 2 months, now it goes dead in a day. Other Thoughts: I purchased this battery in March and the price was $9.99, Did you find this review helpful? |
Lenmar CLM5696 battery for motorola rarzPros: none Cons: will not stay charged for 1 day Other Thoughts: This battery is as bad as the one I have ( BR56 motorola) . It will not stay charged for 1 day. It will cost as much to return it as what I paid. DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS BATTERY! FIND ONE MADE IN USA!! Did you find this review helpful? |
Yep, it fitsPros: Dropped right into my Razor V3. Slightly more capacity than a stock battery. Great price. Cons: it only comes in black ... maybe a rouge or even a plaid ... ;-) Other Thoughts: The largest observed galaxy, IC 1101, is located in the center of the Abell cluster over 1 billlion light years away. It is more than 6 million light years across and contains more than a trillion stars. In comparison, our own Milky Way galaxy is a mere 100 thousand light years across and contains an (estimated) paultry 200-400 billion stars. Did you find this review helpful? |
JunkPros: Cheep. Cons: Upon install, battery had poor fit, phone kept turning off. Other Thoughts: Read above 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
A Solid ReplacementPros: So far, this is a solid replacement battery for my Motorola RAZR V3m. It is of excellent build quality and the battery life is [at least] on par with the original battery standby time. Cons: None Other Thoughts: One can certainly find a replacement battery for less but my research found that obtaining a quality battery for less is a crapshoot, at best. I simply wished to get what I paid for and I have in this product. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good fit for an old black RAZR V3Pros: Newegg rocks! This looks like a high-quality OEM replacement battery, hopefully it lasts 2-3 years like the original. Fit perfectly in my black RAZR V3 phone, which while old is still a very useful backup to my iPhone 3GS. AT&T will unlock it for you and then you get a prepaid US or Global SIM card. Cons: Time will tell. Other junk batteries from e@ay have failed to hold a charge at all after 12 months. Other Thoughts: How can I tell if a battery is good when it arrives? I'm trusting Newegg reviews, that's how! Did you find this review helpful? |
Seems very good.Pros: Installed in my Motorola cell phone and it has been working great. It holds a charge for a long time, just as original. I saw cheaper battery on internet, but read how those cheaper ones didn't hold charge for even a day in many cases. Cons: None. Other Thoughts: Paid a little more, but I am quite happy thus far with this purchase. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good batteryPros: It fit in my RAZR. Cons: None. Other Thoughts: Buying a 3rd party battery is risky, so many of them are worthless. But this is a good one. I think that Lenmar is a reputable brand. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

"Pleasant one-night stay"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
The hotel is conveniently located close to the downtown Toronto airport. I think if the weather had been nicer and we didn't have as much luggage, it would have been possible to walk from the airport to the hotel (how often can one say that!) There is alot of construction outside the hotel, so it was tough to find it by car and it was also hard getting a cab later that day. Patience is necessary. The hotel staff was cold and brusque, not accommodating at all. They refused a one-hour late checkout. Also, we asked for a double room, but was given a king because there were no more doubles available. Though the room was an upgrade to a corner "suite," it was still inconvenient. The room itself was lovely. Huge bathroom, clean, comfortable, spacious. We would go back there again, particularly when the weather is nicer and we can explore the harborfront area (there is a shopping mall down the street that looked really nice with restaurants and a supermarket).
"Great Service"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
I was welcomed and attended to, with a bright smile at the front desk. My room had a great layout. It was very clean, neat and professionally taken care of. The restaurant and bar located within the hotel provided great service and they were very comfortable. I look forward to staying again when I visit Toronto again.

"Don't recommend at all"
Bad smell in loobby and hallways. Carpet in hallways filty and well worn. Much better choices around the airport.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to airport."
It went well. Bed, cable color tv, A/C.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Hotel for the money"
I have stayed there many times over the years. They are redoing the rooms. Staying on the first floor is best as no elevator to the second. It is only 5 minutes from the airport by the free shuttle. The restaurant bar is reasonably priced and the free breakfast is quite good.Genuine Expedia guest review
Very clean, easy check in and out great serviceGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient airport option"
Very convenient location. Overpriced for the comfort level and hotel quality.Genuine Expedia guest review
What was pretty good but the bathtub was rusty and there was no plug.Thanks kwGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Will return."
Shuttle bus to hotel was good. They were busy and the hotel was full. Fast registration. Hotel was clean and they were installing new carpeting. Have stayed there about 8 times and will go back. Good value and close to the airport.Genuine Expedia guest review
Close to the airport, the pizza place attached to it was great. Found a few gross hairs in the bed thoughGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Basic accommodations"
Typically noisy airport hotel, nothing special but serves its purpose.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Basic accommodations"
Typically noisy airport hotel, nothing special but serves its purpose.Genuine Expedia guest review
Average. Good enough for business purposes.Genuine Expedia guest review
Restaurant service was very limited and not very good. Not having an elevator to the first floor was not good as we had heavy bags to carry by ourselves.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"It was clean and convenient"
I had a 7 hour lay over at midnight after travelling all day. I needed a bed but nothing to expensive. However it had to be close and clean. This hotel was a good choice. The only negative was I did not know I had to call the hotel for shuttle service. The airport staff told me to go wait at 22 so I did. But I was supposed to call hotel to ask for service. […] I was waiting a long time before I was told to call. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"close to Internation Convention Centre"
My stay at this comfort inn was convenient location, and staff were friendly and able to accomedated us as needed the restaurants attached to the hotel had awesome foods at great prices My only let down was due to the fact that I booked this hotel because we wanted a SMOKING HOTEL and was booked as such thru Hotels.com and upon arriving was informed […] that it was NOT SMOKING!! So I hope Hotels.com makes changes to their other guests for bookings!!! I must say I was very upset, I could have booked a higher rated hotel for less the costs across the street... Sincerely S. Hopkins Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Quiet hotel close to airport"
I wished the shuttle bus driver had dropped me off at the correct location or at least told me I had to walk half-way through the airport- would have gotten a buggy.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Cleanliness goes a long way!"
Although the room was clean, it had an awful smell... a real turn OFF !!! The carpets in the public area were disgusting!Genuine Expedia guest review
"good house keeping - grumpy rest of staff"
The house keepers were totally delightful! The rest was poor. Glad they had hard boiled eggs for breakfast though!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Clean Rooms and Friendly Staff"
We stayed at the Comfort Inn overnight in July 2013 and were very comfortable. The front desk staff were all very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a snack at the restaurant in the afternoon and the free breakfast buffet had a nice variety of items. We would definitely stay here again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Overall a great hotel"
The rooms were clean and the staff were extremely friendly. The only flaw is that the bathrooms don't have a fan in them.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Just a room..."
Room was cheap, large (king room) comfortable and clean. It was close to the airport and international centre with free parking and wifi for the night. That's pretty much where the positives stop. This older building needs some serious renos. The wallpaper was ripped/pealing on all walls in the room, the tv buzzed when it was off and the bathroom light […] buzzed when it was on. The shower head leaked profusely at the pumping connection and the phone would not let me dial out by pressing '9' (as directed in the service folder). I tried to order food at the pub, but was told to call the pizzeria. when I called the pizzeria, the lady was talking to customers while I was trying to order, then said I couldn't charge it to my room even though the Inn had my Amex on file. Didn't eat supper that night so I gorged on the free breakfast, which was pretty good. Sometimes planes could be heard due to the proximity to Pearson airport. Inn staff were all pleasant and helpful. I might stay again because it was clean and comfortable, but I'd get food to bring back and charge my cell phone... Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Stairs? Shuttle?"
The hotel should make it clear that there are stairs and NO elevator. The airport shuttle in the morning was much too small for the number of people. We would have had to wait at least another half hour if not more. There was no semblance of order and new people kept butting into the lineup. We took a taxi to the airport. DON'T STAY HERE!Genuine Expedia guest review
It was fine. Functional and convenient for the Conference Centre.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Could be/should be updated."
Lacked a parking spot. Had to park off site. Quite noisy, sound travelled too easily through ceding and walls. Won't be staying here again, ever!Genuine Expedia guest review
The room was not very clean, but since we were only there for less than 10 hours we did not bother to complain.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Second time staying at this hotel, again it was as good as the first time, friendly staff, great meals and service at the ZaZi's Restaurant and Pub. Clean room. We will be back.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Clean rooms. Shuttle convenient except for calling for airport pickup. Restaurant disappointing.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good enough for an overnight stay while in transit"
We were flying in late in the evening and needed a place ti stay close to the airport for one night. The price seemed reasonable, and the online reviews were relatively good. Our impression: the hotel served our purpose. Nothing to rave or write home about, but the hotel was convenient, relatively clean and comfortable and was priced right.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Reasonable AIrport Hotel - Good Breakfast"
The downstairs rooms were musty - when we moved upstairs it was fine... but there was no elevator, so you have to carry your luggage. There is a nice b'fast, it is very close to the Airport if you are driving (the shuttle only goes 1/hour) and the bar and restaurant serve good food (try the fajitas!). Overall a reasonable hotel for an overnight while […] waiting for a flight. Free parking too. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Poor service and ni free parking as advertised"
Chose this hotel because it was close to airport and I thought I can book a room before and after my trip to Orlando and receive free parking for the days before and after my trip. When I checked in tge lady was rude in saying that I could not park my truck there during my trip, she didn't even offer any kind of parking besides park and fly. Not impress […] with the service. Cancelled that room and went elsewhere for a better hotel with much better front desk service. I chose this hotel since it advertissed free parking but not so.

"Would stay again"
Thank you to expedia for having the option to stay at this hotel at an economical priceGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great overnight stay for travelers.."
Great for overnight stay . If you are catching plane in morning great accommodations. Quiet and comfortable. Very friendly. No need for pool etc. Shuttle pick up and return was excellent.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good Value for Short Stay"
It is an older hotel, Bathrooms need updating. Staff were very pleasant. Good value for an overnight stay.Genuine Expedia guest review
"great hotel for air travel"
was a great place for the night before our flight.. rooms were cheap and clean and breakfast was great. they had a shuttle to the airport every hourGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Need some attention."
Front counter staff was very pleasant to talk to, especially since I believe that the were understaffed. When we came in the front door, there was a gentleman getting registered and then the receptionist told him that she would be just a moment, and ran off somewhere in the hotel. Then came back after 2-3 minutes and apoligized. So basically it took […] us 10-15 minutes to register and it wasn't even busy. Also, that bathroom needed a little more attention. There were dust bunnies under the sink and in the corners by the toilet and heater. Plus some of the caulking needs to be redone. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Hotel is ok but noisy"
While the hotel itself was clean and the breakfast was lovely, the walls were paper thin. Since many travellers come and go at all hours of the day and night, it can get very noisy. The first night we stayed there, we had to endure many hours of noise in the halls and people continuously coming and going. In fact for a least 30 minutes, people stood […] outside our door talking in loud voices in the hallway. You could also hear other guests on the second floor walking and talking. Not a place for restful sleep. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great value."
The room was very comfortable and clean. The staff was very friendly and were quick to answer questions and provide recommendations. The breakfast, which was included with the room, was very good and offered lots of variety. The restaurant had awesome pizza and again with very friendly staff. This hotel is conveniently located by Convention Center and […] by airport, so it was easy to get around the area. Got it on sale through Expedia which made it even a better deal. Would recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable stay at a good value. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great overnight stay!"
A very comfortable place to stay overnight before flying out of Pearson early the following morning. The free shuttle service was speedy and efficient.Genuine Expedia guest review
From the ignorant driver of the shuttle bus, to the lousy attitude of the receptionist, to the bed bug powder smell in the hallway walking towards my room, which I was given no direction in how to get to by the one who checked me in, to the lack of menu from the pub in the room, to the ATM that didn't work, to the parking lot view from the room window, […] to the gang of hoodlums hanging out the front entrance, to the promise of breakfast and got nothing, Stay Away! This place is like a run down Bates motel. Just awful! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice place to stay!"
It was great! It is a bite older place but in go condition. The staff were very friendly .Genuine Expedia guest review
"Clean, close to airport and free shuttle!"
Great price and location. Perfect for our overnight stay. Kiddo wished there was a pool and no elevators but otherwise very happy with this hotel. Food at restaurant downstairs great too!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Don't assume you will have paking"
Not impressed all at. We were using this hotel as a stop over hotel with the assumption that because they offered an airport shuttle that we would have parking for the week. Not the case. When we arrived there was very limited parking available and when I checked in and made inquires about the parking for the week, I was advised that their parking was […] sold out. They said we only had overnight parking and would then need to go to park n' fly. Now tell me, what is the point of offering an airport shuttle if you don't have parking available for people to use the shuttle? Not impressed and would not stay here ever again.

"Tired Hotel ....Needs Renovation"
Poor Value for Money & staff not at all Friendly !Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Enjoyed the stay"
Parking was a problem. It seemed liked the hotel is renting out spaces for guests to leave their cars at the hotel while they have gone to take the plane to another city. During our stay, we noticed cars covered with dust parked at same spots for days. Although there is additional parking they are next door by the fence and very dark. I didn't feel […] comfortable having my car, although was a rental, parked there. Breakfast was good but they put the coffee away right at the closing time. We had to go out to the lobby to get refill. So we always were there earlier though we were on holidays and should not have to get up early. Front desk clerks very helpful and friendly.

"Airport layover"
Nice overnight stya and convenient airport shuttle!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hotel Stay"
This Hotel was great for what I needed. The breakfast was also very good and had a good selection of hot and cold items. The only downside of the stay was the lack of good internet service where there was no signal in the rooms and staying for business made it difficult.Genuine Expedia guest review
The hotel and the room were fine. We were only there for a short overnight stay before our 6:00am flight but enjoyed the convenience of the restaurant and pub for dinner.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"many problems"
1. I pre-arranged Park & Fly through hotels.com. When I arrived at the hotel, they said that in fact I had not been booked for park & fly, and that hotels.com regularly deceives customers about this in order to get the booking. Hotel said park & fly can only be obtained directly from the hotel itself. Both the hotel itself and the hotels.com rep were […] very unhelpful in rectifying the situation. It caused me a great deal of time and stress and extra money to resolve the problem late at night with an early flight waiting for me in the morning! As well, there was a party in the neighbouring room so when I finally got the matter resolved, it was impossible to sleep in the very few hours remaining! A brutal experience!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel with great location and breakfast free!"
The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The pub on site was nice, not the greatest service, but ok. I was totally amazed at the free breakfast in the morning!! Very good, very tasty and such a nice selection of dishes!! The location was so nice and close to the airport! Loved that and the shuttle included in the price!!Genuine Expedia guest review
Pros: great value, free parking, free breakfast, excellent service, convenient location very close to Pearson cons: old carpet and cigarette burn on bed sheets (non-smoking room).Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Comfortable nite stay."
We were pleased at the location, close to Air Port, free shuttle, to and from. Great breakfast included. Staff friendly, and accommodating It was great and we will definitely use again. No elevator so if you are not on the main floor, you do have to get your bags up a flight. .Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Sorry oil -- -- for the sixth straight day even dropping as low as 9160.
A barrel in today's trade.
Oil trader into -- on these president of GRZ energies on.
The trading -- the -- of the nymex for a scant anyone of my favorite guys on the floor that thanks so much for joining us we really appreciate it.
Really dipping today what time.
Yeah really has not you know I'm not surprised at this instant fit under pressure a little bit because of world economic and the problems that we're sit facing.
Really below 92 dollars -- If it settles below that that I think it takes a shot for nine but I'm looking at is the Seaway pipeline being reversed.
On yesterday.
And I think that increases the demand for the WTI contract which ultimately should make it the more valuable that where it is right now -- any kind of dip in this market.
I -- give it economic conditions remain the same you're gonna see WTI rise just on the Seaway pipeline reversal because.
Really the focus is off -- at that point it's -- WTI makes it more yeah valuable more viable.
And that I think you'll see a lot more demand coming from -- I don't know.
-- -- Are you cannot support because and I I don't need to doubtful we heard with the last CIA report they were -- on others increased demand for gasoline.
Increased demand for oil I thought we would get more of a bounce off that and here we are trading down again it seems to speak to some real fundamental weakness.
Well there is a little bit of weakness in the market but like I said you know we're in the bottom end of the range right here and it's been you really -- around say 92 -- -- -- 96 on the high.
So I'm not so convinced we're going a lot lower from here I think once.
You start seeing supplies in pushing start to diminish a little -- you know you look at -- supplies there -- record highs right now but I think what should start getting draws from those supplies.
Then you're gonna see the market supported the.
Alright -- goes on day thank you so much we appreciate every weekend.

Loading... Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1) (original 2005; edition 2008)by Stephenie Meyer
Work detailsTwilight by Stephenie Meyer (2005)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book.
I just finished re-reading this book out loud with the Lady Librarian. She had never read the books or seen the movies. I felt it my duty to expand her "culture" LOL. There were places we laughed out loud at the situations and dialogue. Say what you want but this story has developed a cult following and I found it an enjoyable read within the context of YA literature. No, it isn't a great work of literature that will be passed down from generation to generation for all eternity. However, it came as quiet a refreshing experience when I did pick it up off the shelf, and here are a few reasons why I believe I will always like this book (although, seriously, the rest of them probably should never have been written). a) I think the biggest reason that I don't hate this book is because I picked it up before everyone was talking about it; probably about two months after it was published. You can trust me that I would probably have staunchly avoided the hype if I had only heard about it after fan girls began drooling over Edward and butchering his character. b) I had just finished meandering through a particularly crummy set of worthless novels when I happened to stumble across twilight, and it was refreshingly interesting in comparison. Yes, compared to its peers, although not to a lot of more mature literature I have since read, is one of the better books. c) I really do like vampires, and yes I'm one of those snobs who "liked them before they were cool", and as a somewhat moral person it is somewhat depressing and distasteful that so much of vampire literature is based around their rampant sex lives, in every gory detail. Even compared to most popular literature in general, it was somewhat refreshing to hear a character think about the welfare of others in this area and say no, because they knew it would hurt them. d) At the point I read this one, I did not know how crappy Breaking Dawn would be; enough said. i stopped reading twilight after book 1. i couldn't stomach anymore of it... while i did read this with the knowledge that it was ment for young girls in middle school, i also assumed since there was a lot of excitment surrounding it, that it would be as good as the harry potter series. sadly i was mistaken. i'm not sure why so many people are addicted to this series. i love vampires, and vampire stories.. but this book was just plain blah. I kind of hated Edward and his and Bella's relationship in this book, but, so help me, I will probably read the others sometime, if I can get them from the library...only because it's mildly fun escapism. Best book ever. Just like a terminally ill yet loving pet dog I could not put it down.
"Meyer's prose seldom rises above the serviceable, and the plotting is leaden" [....] "It's like reading a young teenage girl's blog" Astonishing, mainly for the ineptitude of her prose. Teen vampire schlock that has the nation's youth in thrall. [L]et me say to you as a meat-eating, Entourage-watching, sports-loving (OK, I really don't love sports, or actually understand sports) — heterosexual man who can't sit through a single show on Lifetime television, let me loudly proclaim: I, Brad Meltzer, love the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. I confess, I have joined the legions of the bitten and smitten. The plot may sound rather comic and camp, but Meyer chooses to play it straight and serious. Vampires or not, what this novel is really about is a fatal attraction to someone or something dangerously different from yourself. The trajectory of the story is such that Bella's behavior and choices grow increasingly more disturbing, with irrevocable, self-destructive consequences.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0316015849, Paperback)"Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble hands. 'Be very still,' he whispered, as if I wasn't already frozen. Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the base of my throat."As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he's a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship. Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scenario completely human and believable. She begins with a familiar YA premise (the new kid in school), and lulls us into thinking this will be just another realistic young adult novel. Bella has come to the small town of Forks on the gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father. At school, she wonders about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens, who sit together in the cafeteria but never eat. As she grows to know, and then love, Edward, she learns their secret. They are all rescued vampires, part of a family headed by saintly Carlisle, who has inspired them to renounce human prey. For Edward's sake they welcome Bella, but when a roving group of tracker vampires fixates on her, the family is drawn into a desperate pursuit to protect the fragile human in their midst. The precision and delicacy of Meyer's writing lifts this wonderful novel beyond the limitations of the horror genre to a place among the best of YA fiction. (Ages 12 and up) --Patty Campbell 10 Second Interview: A Few Words with Stephenie MeyerQ: Were you a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Angel? What are you watching now that those shows are off the air? A: I have never seen an entire episode of Buffy or Angel. While I was writing Twilight, I let my older sister read along chapter by chapter. She's a huge Buffy fan and she kept trying to get me to watch, but I was afraid it would mess up my vision of the vampire world so I never did. I don't have a ton of time for TV, and my kids get rowdy when I have on "mommy shows," but I do have a secret fondness for reality shows (the good ones, at least in my opinion). I always TiVo Survivor, The Amazing Race, and America's Next Top Model. Ack! I can't even answer the movie question. I can't remember ever seeing a single vampire movie, outside of clips from Bela Lugosi movies on TV. I don't like true horror movies--my favorite scary movies are all Hitchcock's.

(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:18:42 -0400) When seventeen-year-old Bella leaves Phoenix to live with her father in Forks, Washington, she meets an exquisitely handsome boy at school for whom she feels an overwhelming attraction and who she comes to realize is not wholly human.
