Shale is dying. The vast, boiling maelstrom known only as the Roil has pushed humanity to the edge of extinction. The last cities teeter on the verge of collapse.

One of Travelzoo's general managers, Simon Ferguson, has quit after only six weeks in the job to join travel industry business services provide Travelport as new regional director for the UK and Ireland.
He will replace Jerome Moisan, who is leaving to pursue other interests outside the travel industry, on September 12.
Travelport said Ferguson would be responsible for continuing Travelport's success in the UK and Ireland where it has recently grown its share of the global distribution sector, reporting to president and managing director for Europe and Brazil Jason Clarke.
"Simon is a highly experienced general manager with an impressive track record in achieving the goals he sets his sights on," said Clarke.
"I am certain that with his extensive knowledge of the UK travel industry and travel technology sector, combined with his business acumen and customer-centric approach, Simon will be able to take the Travelport business from strength to strength in this region.
"We are delighted to have been able to recruit such a high calibre successor to this important role."
Prior to joining TravelZoo in July, Ferguson was chief executive of publishing company Travel Weekly Group for seven years, where he was responsible for launching the online travel technology publication Travolution.
Ferguson, who will be based in the company"s GDS headquarters in Langley, Berkshire, said; "It is fantastic to be joining (Travelport) at a time when (it) is reinforcing its leadership position in the UK and Ireland and launching some very innovative and leading-edge technology."

Battle of the Web browsers
Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari square off on speed, features, and HTML5 compatibility
Stop. Don't look up. Don't look outside of the box, the rectangle holding this text. Can you tell me which browser you're using? Did you choose it yourself for all the right reasons? Can you explain why you're trusting your precious HTML-encoded content to this browser, the way a major league batter can explain why maple or ash and a thin or thick barrel is absolutely the right choice for sending that ball into the bleachers? Are you sure this browser is the best choice for the tags and the metadata hurling toward your computer?
If you can't answer the questions, get out of here. If you think that this highly optimized, just-in-time, infinitely customizable technology is another mere commodity, don't even bother finishing this sentence to look for the insult you know is coming. You're not good enough to read this text. You don't deserve the information.
[ InfoWorld's Enterprise Windows blogger says IE9 is better than Firefox 4 and Chrome 10. Also on InfoWorld: The top HTML5 features: Canvas, video, audio, and graphics | Local data storage | Data communications | HTML5 forms | Geolocation and other tidbits ]
Now that the room is cleared of the drones who go through life happy to use whichever browser their fellow drones in the IT support staff installed in their computer, it's time to look once again at the browsers and think about what makes them better. What? You did that several months ago? You're thinking, "How much could they really have changed?" Do I need to go back to channeling David Mamet?
The browser world is taking Ezra Pound's command to make it new to extreme lengths, and much has changed since I started writing this sentence. Why, just a few moments ago, Firefox and Chrome both dropped their late morning builds, and the programmers at Microsoft are heading off to teatime, so they've pushed their latest versions. New versions are appearing every several weeks, and they often include substantial new features, such as better fonts, new video codecs, more sophisticated privacy switches, better local storage, and more. It's not a question of whether you're using your grandfather's browser or even your father's browser. Now you can come back from lunch and lock up your brain wondering whether you can make it through the afternoon with the browser you installed this morning.
Before the picture changes again, here's a survey of the five major browsers -- Opera, Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and IE -- and how they are performing right now. All of them are excellent tools written by driven programmers who see themselves locked in a battle for the future of humanity, which it is if you forget all of the physical objects that occupy those other moments when we're not checking our email or browsing a new site.
The list of changes and improvements is so long that this article can't begin to mention everything. I've tried to hit a few of the most important points.
Battle of the Web browsers: HTML5
All of the energy devoted to HTML5 has been one of the top drivers of the increased pace. While people have been talking about the new standard for 10 or so years, it only became an obsession in the last few. All of the press releases trumpeting new versions of browsers invariably mention the numerous new features from the HTML5 standard.
Does this matter to the average user? Not yet. Most websites don't use any of the new features today, but this is gradually changing as Web developers start to take note. Google is pushing Web apps through the Chrome Web store and clearly sees HTML5 apps as a big part of the software ecology.

Vacation time is almost over. With teams less than a month from heading to training camp, here's a look at a player from each of the 15 teams in the Western Conference who'll be under pressure to perform as soon as the puck drops:
Jonas Hiller, Anaheim -- Few teams have the kind of top-end offensive talent that the Ducks can put on the ice every night. But all that offense won't mean a thing unless Hiller, an All-Star goaltender last season, is healthy and ready to go. Hiller missed most of the last two months with vertigo; he's spent the summer working to get well, but if he's not 100 percent, the Ducks' hopes of improving this season will take a big hit.
Miikka Kiprusoff, Calgary -- Kiprusoff has played at least 71 games and won at least 35 of them in each of the last six seasons. But his save percentage last season dropped to .906 after he was at .920 in 2009-10 -- and he's been at .906 or below in three of the last four seasons. Kiprusoff will have to be better this season if the Flames hope to end a two-year playoff drought.

Runny Liquid

Posted by luineumaiel on Oct 26, 2014
I did not expect this to be a runny liquid. Nowhere in the description of the product does it clarify the consistency of this product, I wish they did. I was expecting something with a more gel like consistency. Because it was so runny, I had trouble figuring out how to use it. Ended up putting it in a spray bottle to spritz over my face whenever I need a quick pick me up. It's alright, just another nice-to-have product in my opinion.
Would be better if it were a gel

Posted by Reviewer1139510 on Feb 05, 2009
This is completely liquid so I really don't like it much for using as an aftershave. I used to use lily of the desert aloe gel in a tube for that purpose but they changed the formula and now it has chemicals in it and smells like it too. Supposedly they are looking to change the formula again. I just wish they would go back to the original which was fantastic.

This product is too watery, not too easy to stay on the skin but the advantage is that the product is made w/ 100% organic aloe. I would love to keep on using the product if they can make it into a gel form.
ok - natural
Posted by 4970705646497019714 on Feb 04, 2015
bought because it was the only one I could find on iherb that is pure aloe vera and doesn't have nasties. But it's very watery and didn't react that well on my skin.

OK but not great
We stayed there in August because it was reasonably priced for a family of 3 - 95 euros. Based on other reviews I suspect we would have preferred the new wing. We had a ground floor family room in the old section and the closet had mold. However, the public rooms were lovely and the service was great.
It was a bit of a hike to the city center, and the walk wasn't always lovely. Next time I'll probably spend more and stay right in the center.
Fabulous stay!
My partner and I stayed at the Charleville Lodge last week and I must say that our stay could not have been more enjoyable. Our room was located in their garden wing overlooking the courtyard. It was very comfortable and excellent value. The guesthouse is family run and the staff went out of their way to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. This type of friendliness would not be seen in a five star hotel!!! Breakfast was hot and delicious with a great variety of food. We will be returning to Charleville Lodge without a doubt and would recommend it highly to anybody looking for comfort, quality and friendliness at a very reasonable price.
Really enjoyable stay
My wife and I had a really pleasant stay here. The hotel had just been refurbished and was in SPOTLESS condition. We would highly recommend Charleville Lodge
A fantastic stay!!
We stayed at Charleville Lodge for 3 nights and 4 days and couldn't have wished for a better hotel.
Yes, the tv may only have 3 channels...but if you travel all the way to Dublin to moan about the tv channels in your hotel...you're not making the most of your stay!
Our room was fantastic. Roomy, clean, tidy, fresh towels/soap/shampoo every day.
The staff were all friendly and welcoming and keen to help us in any way possible. They gave us advice on sights to see/avoid, the bus route into the centre etc.
Fair enough, it is at least a 20 minute walk to the centre from the lodge but what better way to see Dublin? We walked back several times after 12am and NEVER felt uneasy.
I agree with the previous reveiwer..if you've never been to Dublin, what are you waiting for??????? It's an amazing, surprisingly friendly city.
Would NOT stay here again!
We stayed at Charleville Lodge for one night in November. It's in a not so great area of Dublin so if you are planning on doing a lot in Dublin I would stay somewhere more centrally located. One good point was the nice man who was working the night shift. We arrived fairly late (11:30pm) and had to check in and park our car. He was very sweet and understanding.
The room was crap and a total rip-off! The room was tiny, barely enough room to walk around the bed. It definitely needed a fresh coat of paint and new carpet. The bath was small and pretty clean. We could hear all the traffic on the street so it was pretty loud as well. A room at the back might alleviate that problem. The breakfast room was cute, and of course that's what they showcase on their website so you think the rest of the place is ok. Breakfast was good and had a nice selection. We basically just slept here one night and then drove west, so it was ok for that purpose, but is certainly NOT worth the nearly 90 Euros we paid! It was worth about 50 Euros a night given the shabbiness and location!
Would not stay here again, nor can I recommend it with good conscience.
Old, 1950's hotel
This is an old inn, and very lumpy beds. The t.v. only gets 3 channels, if it works. It's just a very basic accommodation with no lift. Don't expect much. It's a 10 minute bus ride from the center city.
Rip off...
We had booked and payed our stay at Charleville Lodge in December 2003 for September 2004. 3 days before departure to Dublin the hotel manager
told us about problems with the travel agent. Supposedly the hotel didn't received our amount and if we would like to keep our room we have to pay the sum again (with a little discount). That was not really fair because our travel agent confirmed our booking and the transfer of the money. What was going wrong? We didn't accept the hotel's
offer and we advise tourists who like to stay in Charleville Lodge not to pay the full amount in advance! Perhaps they have to pay twice...
Bit far out of the city centre
Stayed here for the Robbie Williams gig last summer - nice guesthouse with a good cooked breakfast,large rooms and in a good state of decoration.Downside - the "coffee making facilities" were a coffee pot in the corridor where they ran out of cups/milk/sugar very early in the day.My only other gripe is the location - it is NOT 15 minutes walk into Dublin - it's at least a brisk half hour to Temple Bar from here.The bus is good but make sure you have correct fare or you won't get on - and the Lodge won't change any money for you. The last bus back this way is also very early so you will need to save your beer vouchers for a taxi and not have that last Guinness....Oh, and if you haven't been to Dublin and are thinking about it - JUST GO
Had a great weekend break
Very comfortable and clean All staff very friendly and helpful Breakfast hot and tasty We had a very pleasant stay
The ol charlie
very clean,friendly guesthouse at very reasonable prices for dublin.tasty breakfasts every morning served by friendly staff.a short 1o minute ride on the no. 10 bus takes you into the heart of the city.reception staff are also very helpful and informative.well recommended

which brushcutter blade?
phrog(VT)June 25, 2013
The dealer who sold me my brush cutter wants me to buy an 8" Echo 20 tooth (or 22 tooth?) steel blade for cutting some saplings, but I've seen comments that they get dull very quickly. He's asking $25 for it. Today I saw a website, carbidebrushcutterblades, with carbide tipped blades they claim will last a lot longer. They cost less, too.
Is there any reason to go with the dealer's blade?
zeuspaul(9b SoCal)
What size saplings? Hard or soft?
My favorite metal blade is a three point blade. It works well for heavy weeds and half inch saplings, bigger if they are soft. It is easy to sharpen with a file. It will also cut the softer stuff. The twenty point blades don't work well with the small stuff.

Mejia Godoy singsbeautifully and, by dedicatedas he is to spreadinga political and social message his music, certainly didn't fail in his efforts to infonn, entertain and delight his audience.With his diverse program, ranging from the simple singalong song "Banana"to the moving "Yo Soy de un PuebloSencillo", and the backing of only his own highly rhythmic guitar, he won the audienceover and really spoketo us with his music. If he comesyour way, or you go his, don't miss him!

around here… late March, 201526 Mar 2015
What's going on around here:
In my head…
I'm a little in shock that March is almost over. Where did it all go? How is it almost April? I know I said this *last* month, but the weeks are sort of flying by.
As far as the home improvement project, Gracie is now moved up into her new bedroom, so we can cross that off the list. *phew* She's thrilled. I need to post some pictures.
The floors for the rest of the house are on hold because my dad is in the midst of two cataract surgeries- he had the first last week and will have the second next week. So no sawing floors and installing them with sawdust everywhere for him. In the meantime, Tom is moving himself into his new office (Gracie's old bedroom), painting the walls, and figuring out the furniture situation.
So things, home-improvement wise, are a little less hectic for right now, but everything is still sort of out-of-place and a little out of sorts. Tom's working off the dining room table, all the contents of his office are in the sunroom and bedroom closet, and other odds and ends (contents of Gracie's old room she's undecided on) are piled about.
I'm pretty tidy and organized, so the piles drive me a little batty. But only a little batty, which means I can stand them. They are mostly tucked away and in the corners. Tom did a great job with that, and I'm grateful for that, since it would have been easier for him to just put them all in one place. But he took the time to try and make it orderly for my benefit, and that was very sweet of him, especially with all he has going on. Every spare second for him counts at the moment.
I'm still a bit stressed out and feeling overwhelmed, but it's definitely better than it was just a few weeks ago.
I've found it really helpful to devote entire afternoons to getting loose ends tied up. For example, last week I took two afternoons to tackle a bunch of things that shouldn't (in theory) take long, but in reality always take quite a while. Ordering groceries online, signing Gracie up online for spring soccer, looking at school stuff for next year, looking over and paying the bills, clearing off some of the stuff on my desk, etc. Fussy stuff. Stuff that requires forms and routing numbers and running back and forth around the house to check on what we need.
Of course, I WANTED to be painting, but I just sort of surrendered to the stuff that was piling up and decided to give it the time I knew it needed (several hours), rather than the time I *wanted* it to take (15 minutes, which is totally unrealistic). Honestly, it felt so good to get it done and not have to rush through it or put it off some more.
So I want to do more of that, even thought I know I'll be doing less creative work. I'm always afraid if I don't paint or create everyday I'll lose momentum, but I realized that I can skip a day or two and still be able to pick right back up. It's when I take a long time from a project that it feels like I forgot how to do it. And then I get really hesitant to do it.
So I guess right now I'm focusing on the little things and not worrying about the big picture. One thing at a time.
Outside my window…
(cue the "I live in Southwest Florida" disclaimer here) It's summer. The temperatures in the daytime are mid-80's, the sun is very high in the sky- close to scorching, but not quite there yet, and the plants need water daily, which is rare for humid Southwest Florida. But this time of year, when it gets super hot and it's still fairly dry outside, things get a little crispy and wilty. Including humans, if they stay outside too long.
Gracie has gone back to wearing shorts and t-shirts to school every day. That's always a good indication of the weather, too. She gets cold pretty easily, so when she's in t-shirts and shorts, it means it's hot.
I know it's technically spring, but since I grew up in NY, I measure the weather against what season it would be in NY. And if I were in NY, and we had this weather, it would be middle of summer. So it's summer. We'll have this until about June, and then Hurricane Season. And then… FALL!
But for right now, I am enjoying the sunny weather, the beautiful blue-sky mornings, and the fact that the garden is going crazy in bloom.
In the art studio…
I've actually turned a corner with my painting. Meaning, I can see that there might actually be a finishing point on the horizon. That's pretty exciting for me, even though I think I'll be working on it for at least another month. I only get to paint in two hour increments a few times a week, and I'm doing super detailed work with a zillion layers, so it is what it is.
I'm still really enjoying working on it, and I'm still taking my sweet time with it, but I have to admit, I'm excited to work with different colors since I've sort of locked into the color scheme of teal-aqua-midnight blue-green gold-crimson-white. For instance, orange. Orange thrills me, simply because I haven't used any orange paint in weeks. The idea of painting something orange and leafy green and a bright sunny yellow… maybe with a splash of PINK, even.
I'm also feeling very drawn to watercolor again. It must be a seasonal thing. Usually when I swim, I contemplate my current painting and kind of work through ideas in my head. But lately, I have been thinking a lot about watercolor. Patterns and watercolor. Resist and watercolor. Abstract watercolor with acrylic painted details on top…. I have a feeling I'll probably be pulling out my watercolors in the next few weeks (days?) and playing a bit.
Hoping/looking forward to…
Having less on my to-do list? That's such a stinky, lame answer to that prompt. But right now it feels like I'm in the thick of it and the thing to focus on is just taking things as they come rather than looking ahead weeks in advance.
I'm also looking forward to opening two little boxes of art/craft supplies that are sitting on my desk, unopened. I placed two orders right after the CHA show (Craft and Hobby Association- every year they have a big convention where all the companies preview new art supplies and online stores take pre-orders for the products) back in January, and the products I ordered finally got released and shipped last week. I decided not to open the boxes until later this week after I get a few things done and can spend a few hours playing with the stuff, as sort of a little reward/incentive. I'm kinda psyched about it.
Honestly? I'm kind of looking forward to tourist season being over. Several of the houses on our street are vacation rentals (some illegally), so sometimes it's a bit like living in the midst of someone else's Spring Break, and every week it changes. One set of people leave, and the next come right in.
I will say that the vacation renters who have come in recently are nothing compared to the people that rented nearby a few summers ago. There was some serious drama going on with them and it all played out every day in their back yard, so the whole neighborhood was privy to it. Every morning at 10am, they'd bang out the back door and just start in on each other as they hung around the back yard. As the day went on, and they got more intoxicated, the volume would increase.
I'm not a fan of listening to other people talking (it kind of drives me crazy to hear other people's conversations), so I tried to shut it out, but anyone within a five-house-radius couldn't help but hear everything that was going on. The worst part was that one of them had a little girl, and I don't think there was full custody because she wasn't there all the time, but when she was, they would just carry on with the shouting at each other like she wasn't..
At the end of the summer, they both disappeared and abandoned the house, and then there were a series of cleaners and repair people that came in afterwards that made no secret of the condition of the house. Then the house got sold for a song and the new owners fixed it up and now they rent off and on.
It was a little insane. Even when I lived in dorms at college, different apartments around Atlanta, and the condo here, I never had neighbors like that. It was like a reality TV show, every day. But you couldn't turn it off. Even inside the house, you could hear it loud and clear.
Ever since that happened, anytime anyone new pulls up to that house, I get really nervous and cringe-y. I hear the back door slam in the morning and feel myself get anxious. I know it's stupid, but I like quiet. Don't get me wrong, my others neighbors definitely make noise (as we do- our cats are very vocal and we do have three parrots!), but I *know* their noise. There's the Fox News channel guy who likes to talk on the phone outside, the Electric Light Orchestra guy with the boat, the Russian couple who have lots of their friends over and have loud, animated discussions in their native tongue, the people down the street with the dogs that bark at pretty much any moving thing. But those are familiar to me. And everyone keeps it in check, for the most part.
I like a little bit of privacy. I like living in a residential place. It's just something I really value after years of living in apartments and condos. I feel uncomfortable being exposed to other people's business, especially when it's volatile but not quite at the level where anything can be done to make it better. It just makes you a little sad, in a way. Especially when that little girl was there- I really wanted to go through the bushes and just tell her to come and swim in our pool until things got quieter. I hope things are better for her.
Still re-reading my way through "Number One Ladies' Detective Agency" series. I'm almost done with "Tea Time for the Traditionally Built." This book is much better than the previous few I read in the series so I'm back to loving it all again. One weird thing, though- I changed the font on my Kindle app and for some reason that made the book a lot more enjoyable. I don't know what *that's* about, but … weird.
Also, all the new issues of Better Homes & Gardens, O, Islands, Sunset, and Coastal Living- the actual printed versions. I just can't get on board with reading magazines on my iPad. I love getting fresh copies of magazines in the mailbox. I love the format, love the glossy paper, love the beautiful photos… I just love magazines. I pretty much hunt Amazon and other magazine subscription sites, and as soon as the price drops on anything I'm interested in, I either start a new subscription or add to my ongoing one.
I'm currently holding off subscribing to Real Simple- I just can't see myself paying $40 for two years. Every so often a $5 or $10 for a year offer pops up, but I haven't seen one for Real Simple in a while…
As far as the travel magazines: I'm on this weird Island/Island living kick right now. I've always been interested in living by the water, but lately I am really feeling super-connected to my "island" roots, even though those two islands are Long Island and Marco Island and neither are in the Caribbean. Still- they are both real, official islands, and I've spent all but seven years of my life living on islands, so that's 33+ years of island life. I don't think I would be happy if I didn't live close to the water.
I found this show on HGTV called "Caribbean Life" which features people house-hunting on all the different Caribbean Islands. Even though it drives me a little bonkers that the people never end up buying the houses they choose, the show fascinates me because it goes to each of the different Caribbean Islands and shows famous parks and beaches.
The blue water in Turks & Caicos… just, wow. That gets me EVERY TIME. The other night poor Tom had to listen to me ask him over and over and over if he was as amazed as I was by it, even though we had already seen a bunch of episodes with the same exact video clips of the water there. The water is brighter than the sky down there. It almost overwhelms me how beautiful it looks. I don't like to travel, and my health makes it difficult (ever try and sterilize a hotel shower? That's always super fun.), but I might have to make an exception to go swim in that water. I mean, it's only a quick plane ride away.
There's also a show called "Island Life" which features the islands around the US, but that one is rarely on. I almost like that one better because I love seeing the variety of landscape and learning about the different weather around the US.
Last night we finished "The Wire". What a great show. Very complex, and emotional, and definitely the kind of show you carry with you even when you're not watching it.
Now it's "House of Cards" and catching up on everything else we've been TiVo-ing while working our way through "The Wire".
We haven't been to the movies in ages. I feel kinda guilty about it, but it's been crazy busy, there's nothing great that we felt like we *had* to make the time to see, and because of tourist season traffic, it takes forever to get into Naples.
However, I want to see "Insurgent" so I hope we'll be motivated to get to the movies soon. And the spring/summer movie season will start soon, and then it's go time.
I have been cutting my usual tea with decaf in an effort to try and see if it helps my sleep, and it seems to be working. I'm actually sleeping in chunks that last a couple of hours instead of waking up every hour and struggling to get back to sleep.
I used to "de-caf" my tea, and I'm not sure why I stopped. I just get a flavorless decaf from Adagio (usually the decaf ceylon they have) and put a teaspoon of the decaf for every teaspoon of the fully caffeinated teas I drink. The flavors of the caffeinated teas come through just fine with most of the blends, and I feel less jittery.
I should probably do the same thing with my iced tea, and I mostly do, but after 6pm or whatever I should knock out all things caffeinated (well, except chocolate.) Work in progress, I suppose.
Thankful for…

We took the ferry from Hatteras and arrived late. I hadn't called to tell them but they had a note for us with our room keys! It is not a fancy hotel but a family run place with small cottages. We were told in Nags Head that there would be no cell phone service or wifi at the hotel but that wasn't true. We had great signal for both!
Shopping and restaurants are close by. Well, it's a small island! Lol
I also went for a 10 mile run in the morning and felt very safe.
Great place to stay! Our friends stayed in a cottage near us and they had a small kitchen which was convenient. I'd definitely recommend staying here! You won't be disappointed!!
