Global oil and gas markets are, at best, a mixed bag of property rights, geologies and public policy. Individual markets are greatly altered by national policies, geopolitics, and physical pipelines.
Although Europe has a developed and evenly distributed infrastructure for gas, policies relating to the environment and sustainability are major concerns when it comes to new shale development. The realities of an aging energy infrastructure — in concert with a lack of new plant construction and pledges by many European countries to shutter nuclear and coal electric plants in favor or wind generation — converge on a new reality, where the numbers might not be adding up.
On the other hand, a boom in domestic production leaves neglected foreign suppliers seeking new buyers and partners.

I loved the facets, I bought two for our master bath we are remodeling. Exceptional quality for reasonable price. I couldn't be happier.
Great faucet! Purchased it in the brushed nickel finish. At first I thought it was too tall for the Vitreous-China White Vessel Sink I also purchased on Overstock.com, but they work perfectly together! Plumber said I did not need the ring that was recommend, but I have yet to return it!
Got this faucet extremely fast. My contractor looked it over before installing and said it appeared to be very good quality. He had no problem putting it in and it looks fantastic with my new vessel sink and granite counter top. I will be ordering another one for my upstairs bath after I see how well this one works out! So far, so good!
My husband and I are having a grand time using our new Kraus vessel sinks with the Kraus Riveria faucets. Both products add such style and class to our remodeled bathroom. The color and style of the faucets match exactly the color and style of a faucet I purchased locally two years ago. However, the cost of that faucet was three and a half times what I paid for each of these faucets. Thanks Overstock.com for these quality products.
This faucet and drain are great. The oil bronze finish is just right. Faucet set and drain were easy to install.
Great price point here at overstock! Heavy quality construction.
This faucet went perfectly with my table top bowl sink. The faucet neck wasn't too high which created less water splash outside the bowl area
Fixture is of heavy weight, clearly of good quality. Was pleased with fixture for washstand style vanity with vessel sink. Met all expectations.
Love the faucet. Looks great with the vessel sink also purchased from overstock. This is the third faucet and 5th vessel sink I have purchased from O. Great buy compared to other sites for same faucet. Can't go wrong with Overstock!!!!
I got this to go with my Elite Tempered Glass Vessel Sink (7390259). The style was just what I was looking for - clean but not too modern since I have a 1950s era place. The quality so impressed me that when I realized I need to upgrade the mounting ring for sink, I went with the Kraus Mounting Ring for Vessel Sink to match - its quality was just as impressive - solid brass. It was easy to install myself and I love using it every day. In fact, I love using it so much I have started filling my dog's water bowl in the bathroom instead of the kitchen and I am now considering an upgrade to my kitchen faucet. I had one question about the installation and called the Kraus customer service number to confirm - I got a person who spoke English and answered my question quickly.

Powerful, innovative and versatile for stage and studio alike, the Bassman 100T is a professional-level 100-watt tube head with enormous Fender bass sound and sparkling vintage Fender looks. Its dual-channel design uses modern technology to maximize classic technology, with classic Fender '60s "blackface" styling and a wealth of innovative features on the front and rear panels.
Features include a tube preamp (two 12AX7s) and power amp (one 12AT7 and four 6L6s); Vintage channel that delivers the full, warm sound of a classic Fender passive tone stack; Overdrive channel that delivers the aggressive and responsive sound of a modern active tone stack (choose between channels with included footswitch); rear-panel Fender Automatic Bias system that constantly monitors and re-biases tubes for perfect performance and alerts you when service is required; XLR output that delivers overdriven power amp tone (great for recording); rear-panel Output Power switch that lets you play or record at full 100-watt power, quieter 25-watt power, or silently via internal power soak (which captures the signal post-power amp); impedance switch (8, 4 or 2 ohms) and master volume with push/pull mute.

This two-night stay started out well enough, even though the rate charged was a bit higher than posted just a day earlier. Then several small unpleasant experiences turned the stay somewhat sour. Just plain nasty tasting morning coffee, puke just outside the side entrance, my fingers sticking to the unidentified wet paint on the door, scummy places on the bathroom, defective toilet in the room, the sound of everyone else's toilets flushing, the party hardy girls waking me up at 10:30. Lots of little irritations added up to an overall unpleasant stay. Too bad.

"Nice hotel, what you'd expect"
Reviewed Feb 20, 2014
Wolfpacker96 | Charlotte, North Carolina
Great location, right off the interstate. Rooms are spacious and modern in the King sized room my wife and I had. Has the largest work table I've ever seen in a hotel that stretched across an entire wall. Unfortunately part of it was over the window air conditioner, so it that was running and you were on that side of the desk, you either froze to death or were hot depending on what was coming out of the unit. TV was HD and as usual for La Quinta, they actually had HD content, not fuzzy stretched out SD like most hotels. However there wasn't an HDMI plug on the TV which was odd, so I couldn't hook up my laptop and watch Netflix. Internet speed was above average for a hotel, but still slow. Could watch some things on my PC with Slingbox (Dishanywhere), but it dropped a lot. Stayed for 3 days and enjoyed the stay. Didn't use any of the amenities such as the pool and hot tub, so can't comment on them. As someone else mentioned, they have the typical free continental breakfast. Hard to complain much about that since it's included in your room price, but they only had one choice of cereal one morning and only two most days. And it seemed like a generic brand of Cheerios and Raisin Bran, not very good. Did notice a couple of harmless lady bugs in the window, but, hey, they're just lady bugs and what ever poison they put out, the residual killed them in a few hours.

"Low expectations to pleasantly surprised"
Reviewed Feb 15, 2014
OnTheRoadPrincess | Atlanta, Georgia
We needed a last-minute, pet-friendly hotel and this one fit the bill. I had VERY low expectations for a La Quinta, especially with it being pet-friendly. I expected dirty floors and smelly rooms. I was wrong! Our ground floor room was spacious, smell-free, and clean (except for a dirty towel by the door--I'm guessing housekeeping dropped it on their way out.) There was a mini fridge/microwave, a flat screen TV, and a spacious bathroom. Also had plenty of room for our 50 pound dog and his crate. My only complaint about the room is that there I could hear everything that was being said in the adjoining room, through the adjoining door. Breakfast was decent for this class of hotel: cereal, fruit, waffle maker, pastries, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, juice, coffee, tea, etc. We chose this location because of the hot tub. However, the tub took over 10 minutes to heat up. Once it did, it was lovely. The front desk staff was very friendly, welcoming, and helpful.

"My experience was less than great."
Reviewed Jan 31, 2014
Ally J | Raleigh, North Carolina
The Good: The exterior was nice and the room looked exactly like the pictures. Majority of the staff was great. The Bad: Bed: Decent but old, I was being bitten the whole night. Which leads me to.. Bugs: As I was closing down the blinds, I saw a small spider. I shrugged it off since it was near the window and the area was wooded. The next morning, there were ladybugs flying around. Not just one but several. I requested a new room, which they do give me but this room has the same situation. At this point, I want to cancel my reservation. When I go back to the front desk, I was shocked by the attitude of the Morning Manager. When I tell her there were ladybugs flying around my room, she explains to me 'This is North Carolina.' Being from the South I am used to seeing bugs but it was December and this is a hotel! I ordered this room through Priceline, luckily I was able to cancel. Management: As I was checking out the manager tried to berate me, smirking and making me look as if I was the fool. The young adults at the front desk were better mannered/more mature than her. The worst part about it was I didn't cause a scene, I just wanted my money back. The way this Manager reacted was very unnecessary and not what customer service is. Recommendation: Restaffing and Pest Control..

We wanted to be near Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill and this was a perfect location. It is a Great hotel- on a lovely property, the rooms are roomy, clean and well furnished. The hotel staff was pleasant and called our room within 15 mins of checking in to see if everything was satisfactory. The beds are incredibly comfortable. Free WIFI without a log-in or password was delightful. The breakfast was okay - some fruit, two types of cereal, yogurt and waffles. We would stay here again!
