Great quality and great value
I ordered the gray duvet and it looks great in my bedroom which is mostly neutrals (grays, beiges/camels, with metallic accents).. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it is made of a cotton sateen and has a nice, subtle sheen to it. The fabric is fairly tightly woven and has a good weight to it (like a good quality sheet). My only complaint is that there are no ties inside to hold the comforter in place. Other than that, I would recommend this highly.Read More
Love it!
I love the two duvet covers I've bought recently from Overstock. Some reveiws I've seen complain that the material is "thin". There are two kinds of covers; those from heavier materials that are used as a formal bedspread - usually used with a flat top sheet, to sleep under - or the soft cotton like this one that is perfect for using as a sheet AND a bedspread. Having lived in Europe for 20 years, we prefer to sleep directly under the duvet.Read More
Grey duvet cover
I ordered the set in grey and I'm really happy with it. I would not describe the color as grey however--there is a grey-like shade in the pattern, but the rest of the colors in the print are so warm (cream, tan, etc) that the overall dominant effect is more like a beige or taupe, just warmer than a true grey. I nearly ordered the mocha, thinking the grey set would be too stark, and I'm glad I didn't. Photos on the website of each individual color would be helpful! Just the same, I eenie meenie miney moe'd it, and it works perfectly in my room with taupe walls, white trim and espresso bedroom set. Very happy. Fit is perfect. Quality is good. No defects or stitching problems. The pattern is interesting without being overpowering. Comes out of the package with a chemical odor, need to launder before using. Would have preferred a stripe or contrasting print on the reverse, but I bought a set of white shadow striped sheets at the same time, and it provides a little contrast in a sophisticated way. Sorry for the rambling but point being, I'd definitely recommend the set. Looks really nice.Read More
Great deal. Just what I was looking to purchase.
Wasn't sure about the pattern at first but we have a dog that loves our comforter as much as we do. The pattern masks the paw prints that sometimes just happen. Haven't washed it yet, but cotton feels soft and I think it will wash very well.Read More
Even prettier in person
Needed to find a classy looking duvet set for the master bedroom for a summer rental at VA Beach. We chose the blue/grey one & it is perfect! There was some sandy beige in the mix which made it work for the "beach/spa/resort" look we were going for. The fabric is very soft & had a nice sheen to it that made it look richer.Read More
Not what I expected.
Color is not the same as in the photo.Fabric is rough.......Big disappointmentRead More
Crisp colours and good material
This king duvet cover is what I've been looking for: a good paisley style print in colours that will complement a contemporary paint colour scheme, and in an all cotton material that will stand up to busy family washing. I was also pleased about the price!Read More
Just what I wanted
I love this duvet. The colors are true to the picture. The material is good sheet quality but looks great as the bed covering. My only negative is that the shams are a little too small for queen size pillows.Read More
Great Price. Good Colors
Given the price of this duvet, I didn't have high expectations, as I like to switch out my duvets often. While it's not the quality of a $200 duvet, it was much nicer than I expected. The colors are beautiful and provide a lot of design flexibility. Well worth buying and if I change it out in a year, I haven't invested much so no big deal.Read More
Seemed vintage
I can't fully review this product as I have returned it for refund. I thought that the pattern and color would look nice on my bed based on the website picture. When the set arrived I was dissappointed. The color looked like a faded version of what I saw online and the pattern looked like something that my grandmother would own. Not my taste.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello MDM, the king duvet cover is not currently available with the standard shams. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for shopping with us! A.C.
i would like to see each color separately in a picture. either shams, cover, sheets, whatever as long as it is a full all over view of color and pattern. thank you so very much vivian
Hello velasquez, we do apologize we are do not have additional photos for this item. However, we have corresponding sheet set, Item #: 14858028, it does show the colors in separate photos. Thanks for shopping with us! -Amanda P
Are there ties inside this duvet?
No ties. It is easy to sew med-small buttons in each corner and add elastic loops to each corner of a comforter if it won't stay put.
no-- it's a snap closure- no ties
There are no ties. I used safety pins! (My duvet already has loops. A small "downside" to an otherwise beautiful set.
I'm wondering about the placement of the design on the shams. Is the design oriented "upright" or "sideways"? The photo shoots done colors upright and some colors sideways. Also, are the 2 shams symmetrical, identical, or differing in terms of their design placement?
Hello stef, the design on this set is placed upright. The sideways ones that you see in the picture are just placed to show the color. Thank you for shopping with us!
The sham in my twin set is oriented the same direction as the duvet cover. Since there is only one sham, I can't answer that question. However the design is such that while the large pattern area seems quite obvious, in the red version it is not that easy to notice the sham pattern being opposite the duvet when I turn it that way.
What colors are in the mocha? It looks like a deep purple to me, on the outer edge of the paisley, but it could also be brown and I can't tell from the picture.
Actually it's a taupe color. Overall the mocha has gold, taupe and cream.
No purples in it. It runs from dark brown to a soft beige. It has about six shades of brown.
I have a full-size corduroy comforter that is 91x91. It's about 3/4-inch thick. Do you think the queen/full duvet cover will work for this? I'm concerned that the king would be too big and look thin at the edges.
Comforters are not meant to put in a duvet cover, I think a much better option would be to buy a duvet cover instead of trying to get your comforter in this cover.
I think it would. I put my king comforter in the king duvet and it was a perfect fit.
I think it would work...the duvet is roomy enough that a slightly-too-large comforter should just make it "fuller".
Are there any Euro pillow shams for the blue duvet cover.
Hello venessanne, this set comes with 2 pillow shams. Thank you for shopping with us! Terri D.
Hello venessanne, I'm sorry we do not have that available. Have a great day!
Is there a gold colored bedskirt that will go with the red duvet set? Does this one: Microfiber Solid 15-inch Drop Bedskirt Item #: 15280593
Hello greenwood65, it looks like both of those go together pretty well. Thanks for shopping with us!
Where is this product made? USA? China?
Hi nene2222, this set was made in India. I hope this helps, thank you for shopping with us.

Hello suzzeeq45, This set has received excellent reviews! I apologize for the confusion; this set is 300 thread count. I hope this information helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
Hello, I have two questions. First, when will the blue be back in stock? Second, the king and cal-king are combined, so on which side is the closure�the shorter, or longer side?
Hi docleoni, we were able to verify this information with our support team. The duvet cover is on the shorter side(90") side for the King/CalKing duvet. We hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
What are the colors in the blue comforter? Hard to tell from the photo if the coordinating colors are tans or golds.
Hi healynorton, the blue option does have varying degrees of blue, beige and tan. The third picture option shows the blue option a little better if it helps. Thanks or shopping with us.
Shades of light and dark , blue with cream and gold.
I have purchased the king duvet set in grey. I would like to purchase a solid sheet set to coordinate with the grey tone but am unsure which sheets are of the same dye lot. There are so many shades grey! I would especially like to find a 26" square euro sham.
Hi rz1949, unfortunately we do not have sheets and shams made to specifically to match these sets. We do have a lot of different options available but unfortunately I am unable to verify the dye lot to match specific products. We apologize for the inconvenience.
I got the gold sheets in the Egyptian 650 oversized solid sheets set to go with the spice duvet set. It looks like the gold is also one of the colors in the grey, if that works for you.
What colors are in the red?
Hi gypsyred44, the red option offers a mixture of colors similar similar to red but closer to orange, plum, green and white all with a reddish hue. We hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
I have the red. The color is a deep shade like crimson.
I have the red. It has crimson, olive, gold and creme shades.
Paprika/rust/spice, light green, olive, deep purple, golds, creams. The colors are bright, not muddy.
I have an oversized down comforter that measures 90x98; what size duvet should I be purchasing?
Hi mstancil, that is a big comforter ! We recommend getting the King size option at 104 inches wide x 90 inches long to accommodate the comforter. Thanks for shopping with us.

Best Duvet Covers for Each Season
For those who use duvet blankets year-round, duvet covers allow you to change patterns and color to match every season. Along with the decor of the bedroom, a duvet cover may enhance the ambiance of the entire room or supply it with rich colors and textures for the ultimate comfort factor. If you purchased an expensive duvet, covering it throughout the year will keep it in good shape and allow you to wash it without compromising the batting. Look below to learn the best duvet covers for each season. Spring: Once the evenings start warming up, lighter fabrics like satin provide sheen and style to any bedroom. Satin duvet covers are most often comprised of fabrics like nylon, rayon or silk to provide durability as well as comfort. For spring, lighter colors, including pastels or variations of cream and beige, brighten the room. Summer: During warm summer nights, cotton duvets are one of the most common fabric choices. Light and airy, cotton is also easy to clean and comes in virtually every color and pattern. For the summer season, try a white duvet cover, which will make the room appear more open and spacious. A cotton blend that contains polyester is also an ideal choice for summer, because it is soft, requires simple washing and does not wrinkle. Fall: For the fall season, a duvet cover that is warm enough for intermittent chilly nights is an ideal choice. Microsuede duvet covers offer a soft feel to bedding and come in a variety of colors. This material is easy to care for and machine washable. For fall, choose earthy colors like beige, brown, dark green or burgundy for a seasonal look. Winter: A luxurious duvet cover is a favorite option for warmth during the winter months. Velvet is a soft fabric that comes in a variety of rich colors and provides plenty of insulation for cold nights. The luxurious texture looks good in any style of room decor.

Postgame Notebook 1-25-13: Devils 3, Caps 2 (OT)January 26, 2013
For the third straight game, the Caps headed into the third period staring at a multiple-goal deficit on Friday in New Jersey.
John Erskine has spent half a dozen seasons in the Washington organization, longer than any other blueliner on the club except for Mike Green. During Dale Hunter's short tenure as Caps coach last season, Erskine's stock alternately rose and fell. He played frequently and logged more or less normal ice time early in the Hunter administration.
Erskine enjoyed his best NHL season in 2010-11, setting career highs in games (73), goals (four), assists (seven) and points (11) while averaging 14:50 per night. But he underwent off-season shoulder surgery, and was sidelined for the early portion of last season.
In and out of the lineup through the first half of the season, Erskine was more or less a forgotten man in the season's second half. He played in just one regular season game after the start of February, and generally played fewer than 10 minutes when he did get a sweater.
During last spring's playoffs, the Caps turned to Erskine in the Boston series, inserting him into the lineup after more than two months of inactivity. He acquitted himself admirably and ended up appearing in four of Washington's 14 playoff games.
This season, Erskine was a healthy scratch for the season's first three games before getting a sweater on Friday night in New Jersey. He played 17:30 for Caps coach Adam Oates, the fourth different bench boss for who he has performed in the District.
"It felt good," says Erskine, "especially getting out there pretty much on a regular shift. It's been a while but it felt good just to get out there and play some hockey. It brought the fun back into hockey."
Oates has installed a new system of play, but Erskine has been paying attention in class. He passed his first test against the Devils.
"We study it all the time and do video," says Erskine. "In my head, I know it. When you get out there in different game situations, you maybe catch yourself thinking a little bit too much. But I think after the first five or 10 minutes I was pretty comfortable with it."
When you're in and out of the lineup and you're trying to pick up a new system and play with a new partner – John Carlson – it helps if you're actually in a regular rotation instead of getting just a couple of shifts every period.
"It's easier to be out there every other shift or every third shift rather than to play a shift and sit for 10 minutes," says Erskine. "It keeps your legs into it and keeps you in the game all the time."
During the first three games of the season, Erskine sat in the press box and watched the games in his own unique way.
"When I sit out, I pick a guy and watch him," he says. "I was watching Tom [Poti] play and Karl [Alzner]. I just watch how they deal with the systems. That may have helped me a little bit. But I think you just get out there and play hockey and have fun."
Erskine's first foray onto NHL ice in nearly nine months was respectable. He played a regular shift throughout, and was on the ice late in a tie game and also drew three shifts in overtime. At night's end, Erskine had two hits, two blocked shots, three shots on goal and he had logged 2:25 in shorthanded ice time.
Like most of his teammates, he was encouraged by the Caps' performance in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Devils.
"I think guys were pretty excited that we put 60 minutes together and when we got down 2-0," relates Erskine. "We didn't just fall over and give up. It showed a lot of character coming back at the end there and I think we've just got to build off of it for [Sunday]."
Erskine showed enough in Friday's game that Oates and his staff won't be hesitant to insert Erskine into the lineup if needed. He provides size, toughness, grit and physicality, qualities that aren't prevalent among the other seven defensemen currently on the Caps' roster.

Agitate, America!: The Environmental Protection Agency was a Republican idea
By Nancy Churchill
A Progressive Visionary
The Republicans' economic policy seems to be to champion what's good for American global corporations in this election. But what's good for giant corporations is not good for Americans.
Clean air is good for Americans, but corporations don't breathe the air and have no need for it. And if Republicans take control of the government, as they will if Mitt Romney is elected president, they've pledged to do away with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and accompanying regulations.
As incredible as it seems now, the architect of what became President Richard Nixon's EPA way back in 1970 was a Republican, Russell Train, according to Chicago Tribune editorial board member Steve Chapman (Sept. 27, 2012).
Quoting his New York Times obituary, the first chairman of Nixon's White House Council on Environmental Quality created "the world's first comprehensive program for scrubbing the skies and waters of pollution, ensuring the survival of ecologically significant plants and animals, and safeguarding citizens from exposure to toxic chemicals."
Imagine that! A Republican who cared about clean air and water, plants and animals!
So, what happened? Today's Republicans aim to shut down the EPA they once created. They stand squarely against anything resembling oversight of deepwater oil drilling (even after the 2010 BP Gulf of Mexico oil disaster), and champion the practice of injecting the ground with highly-pressurized fluid (otherwise known as fracking) without an accounting of what toxic chemicals are used, or how much water is contaminated in the process.
Since they don't drink the water or breathe the air, corporations reject regulations that might require expensive clean-up operations to meet clean air and water standards. Keeping air and water clean costs money, which cuts profits, their only lifeblood.
But what's with Republicans? Are they not human? Have they morphed into some otherworldly creatures that exist solely on profit, too, just like their corporate paymasters, and no longer need to breathe the air or drink the water like the rest of us?
Republicans seem to think they have converged with corporations, become so like them as to swap the corporate need for profit with their human need for life. Or they may think pollution won't matter in whatever time they have left on the planet. But even if they don't care about the rest of us, don't they care about their grandchildren?
So, even as giant multinationals have enjoyed more profit in the last few years than anyone has in the history of the world, Republicans aim to boost them more. Humans can only eat so much food, but corporations can never get enough profit!
True to form, they advocate "making a killing," a phrase that translates into making a lot of money at the expense of others. That's beneath us humans. Rather, we should be "making a living," or focusing only on that which creates the most life for ourselves, our families, communities and nation, as well as our planet.
We can do without a corporation or two, but we must have our air to live!
Highlights of Nancy Churchill's life are growing up in Congo, Africa, until she was 15, racing stock cars as an adult from 1976 until 2001, and writing as a liberal political junkie since the early '90s. She lives in Oregon, Ill.

Alright, let's jump right in.
Making flowmaps for Source.
Valve added Flowmaps in the L4D2 and later versions of Source. Valve used Houdini to create theirs, but most people don't have access or experience in Houdini to create flow maps in the fashion that Valve did.
What is a flowmap?
This guide will teach you how to author your own flowmaps for Source, I am using the Portal 2 branch, but Alien Swarm, and CS:GO will work too.
Postmortem: Water.
Or: More technobabble.
Since my starting time working on the HL2 Enhancement team over at Facepunch (Link) I've had to dabble quite a bit, and one thing I really touched heavily upon, was water.
Water, somthing source … sorta' does well, view the page here, mind you that's an older version, as it covers the "old" shader, it's fairly simple and straightforward, But I had to jump head-first into the new one.
Terrain Generation.
Or: Throwing ridiculous amounts of CPU at pointless amounts of detail.
I've played around with procedural terrain generation software for quite awhile now, you use a node-based editor, plug things into one another, change settings: and hope / play around with it until it looks good.
Now, Continue reading
High power rendering & updates.
Or: Where I talk about internet, Amazon EC2, and my brief absence.
(This post was written whilst listening to "Bookworm" on Klippa:"I knew a little bookworm")
So recently I've been playing with Eyeon fusion, ontop of my normal video processing: and I must say, freaking love it soo much, the only issues I have is the amount of RAM it eats (not as bad as AfterEffects, but still devours a ton) & the huge processing requirement (Depending on situations, I've been doing full 32bit HDR color, so its a TON of processing).
Image formats.
Or: What I think is good, What is ACTUALLY good, and What is bad.
Putting out out there now, if you haven't already noticed, I love the PNG file format, its a loss-less compression format developed for the web, and allows me to post high-quality images without eating bandwidth (or atleast AS much) and to not cause page-bumping (when an image suddenly loads and the page has to accommodate it)
So; I'm going to talk about these formats:
(A)PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, TGA
Messing with $detail …. A different approach.
Hey, this might become my mapping [blog](don't let the crawlers read that!) so I thought, I'll post some progress.
Now onto the article.
I was recently playing Gm_flatgrass2008, which as a mapper I know of texture repeating.
Texture repeating is becase games can only use "textures" which can only be so big, so they have to "tile" : that is, imagine bathroom tile, now imagine that your carpet was made from these "tiles" and each tile was the same inch of fabric repeating, these textures are made to have as little "unique" identifiers as possible so its harder to see when it tiles, but its always visible one way or another; just hidden better, this is because the brain is exceptionally good at finding patterns. Examples:
Back up, and …. walking?
Hey, I decided to re-do my website and update a few things; like using WordPress for the CMS now!
I will sometimes post updates'n stuff here.

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
1971 Directed by Mel Stuart
It's Scrumdiddlyumptious!
Eccentric candy man Willy Wonka prompts a worldwide frenzy when he announces that golden tickets hidden inside five of his delicious candy bars will admit their lucky holders into his top-secret confectionary. But does Wonka have an agenda hidden amid a world of Oompa Loompas and chocolate rivers?
Popular reviewsMore
Pure magic!
Maybe the best interpretation of Dahl's unique fantasy.
*melancholy sigh*
I need a Wonka coat.
Even when poorly projected on the side of an old abandoned mattress factory, in a sickeningly hipster area, Willy Wonka is an amazing film to behold. Gene Wilder gives one of the greatest performances ever as the title character, and I pretty much am smiling from the time he shows up in the film till the very end.
I loved this book growing up and it really is one of the more perfect films from my childhood...and it was made 8 years before I was born!!!
The kids are all fantastic and the ways they got them all were pretty fantastic. The music is great. The Oompa Loompa song is a classic. Discovering all this candy is such an adventure.
But the real star here is Wilder. He is so good. At times he can be the warmest person on screen, other a psycho(the boat scene) and in one scene he's a total a-hole! He was perfection in this role.
I also think they really got the feel of how it used to be with candy stores and…
Wonderful film. Strange but fascinating, fun, and inventive for it's time. It's still pretty unique today. Has something for the kids and adults to like. Gene Wider slips into probably his most iconic role and gives a fantastic and eccentric performance. I can't imagine anyone else playing him. As far as I'm concerned, the piss-poor Burton remake from 2005 does'nt exist. This is the only Chocolate Factory I want to visit time and time again. This is the film you remember loving as a kid; the kind of love that resonates into adulthood.

A world of pure imagination and also things that can possibly harm your children
Fun musical, Wilder played the psycho extremely well.
I still love this movie, but never realized how closely it follows the line of a horror film.
Lo bonito de las películas viejas es que se puede apreciar el esfuerzo de la producción artística, que se daban la tarea de armar hasta el detalle más pequeño de todos los sets, sin tanto chroma key ni CGI.
Incluso las coreografías de los oompa loompas se disfrutan más al saber que todas son personas reales tratando de hacer los mismos movimientos en los mismos intervalos de tiempo, y no un solo actor repetido miles de veces con efectos visuales, es decir, dónde está lo entretenido de eso.
Muy buen guión, e indudablemente Gene Wilder es el auténtico Wonka, pero no puedo evitar quedarme con el Charlie de Freddie Highmore, y también con el final de Burton, el de esta lo sentí muy forzado.
"If the good Lord had intended us to walk, he wouldn't have invented roller skates".
You can watch this film again at any age and appreciate the magic within.
A true classic in every sense of the word. Gene Wilder is perfectly cast as Willy Wonka and Peter Ostrum as Charlie Bucket. The songs are memorable and the characters are charming. It does have a sometimes dark and scary edge to it (particualrly the boat ride), but that's all part of the experience though. The German locations are wonderful and the sets are awe inspiring as are the costumes. One for everyone to see and enjoy.
A childhood favorite that still holds a special place in my heart, even when I watch it with a hilarious Rifftrax commentary.
there's this hostile air in this movie that draws you into it. Some dark force that beacons you.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Honda CR-V
By KBB.com Editors
When the Honda CR-V first appeared in 1997, the CUV landscape had a far different look than it does today. Then, the market offered very few compact four-wheel-drive wagon/CUV crosses, and the new Honda was the head of a very small class. These days, small crossovers are all the rage, offering the tall ride height and cargo carrying ability of a mid-size SUV, ample ground clearance and the sure-footed traction of all-wheel-drive. Yet, while many of its competitors have grown larger and thirstier, the CR-V remains true to its roots, which may explain why it continues to top the compact CUV sales chart year after year.
Few vehicles do as many things as well as the 2010 Honda CR-V. As practical as a backpack, this benchmark crossover is an easy, stylish one-size-fits-most car choice.
There's little pizzazz in practical. If you chafe in sensible shoes, a compact crossover may not be the right fit for you. If you're looking to venture off-road, the CR-V's part-time 4WD system is no match for the Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive system found in the more capable Subaru Forester.
For 2010, the CR-V receives a freshened front end, hood and rear bumper. Engine output is up 14 horsepower to a respectable 180 horsepower; also new are 10-spoke alloy wheels, a USB audio interface (EX-L trims only) and the addition of Bluetooth cell phone connectivity to navigation-equipped models.
Driving Impressions On the road, the 2010 Honda CR-V has a well-integrated feel. The four-cylinder engine is right-sized for daily driving duties and the automatic transmission shifts smoothly. The only interruption to...the quiet inside the cabin is some noise from the engine in high-demand situations, such as when the transmission kicks down to a lower gear for passing. Beyond that, there's not much road noise and little wind noise, even when the moonroof (standard on EX and EX-L) is open. The CR-V has a cushioned ride that belies its size and handling is stable and predictable. Visibility is good in all directions, even to the rear. The four-wheel-drive system is automatic, requiring no input from the driver, and shifts up to 70 percent of available torque from front to rear wheels as needed for improved traction.
Refined Ride Quality
A compact car with a big-car ride, the CR-V has a composed feel, easily rolling over rough roads without ruffling the passengers.
Sensible Size, Flexible Floor Plan
Right-sized, real-world dimensions and a highly adaptable interior are two reasons why the CR-V is Honda's biggest seller worldwide.
The 2010 Honda CR-V's defining feature is a highly flexible floor plan. Split rear seats fold easily and tumble forward. Doing so increases cargo capacity from a generous minimum of 35.7 cubic feet to a maximum of 72.9 cubic feet. Lift-over height in back is low. Second-row seats also recline slightly and the headrests have been designed for a visibility-enhancing low profile when not in use. Rear-seat travel is adjustable fore and aft, but long-legged folk may find the front seats don't have enough travel to fully accommodate them. All trim levels benefit from wider fold-down, inside armrests. Rear-seat legroom is not as generous as in pervious generation CR-Vs, but those under six feet can still fit front and rear simultaneously. The CR-V's dual-dial dash is an easy read, controls and switchgear are all within arm's reach and simple to operate and inside storage areas abound.Exterior
The first two generations of the CR-V made their marks by combining exceptional utility with enviable reliability. They were high function, but low fashion. The current CR-V, however, has turned all that around. Honda aims to lay claim to that portion of the new buyers flocking to this segment who are style-conscious; to that end, the 2010 Honda CR-V's still-practical package is wrapped in a decidedly fashion-forward design. The side view is dramatically different than most boxy SUVs, with an elliptically-shaped greenhouse. Up front are slash-cut headlamps and a laid-back windshield, while around back is a large rear hatch with no hatch-mounted spare tire to complicate entrance. Ground clearance is a generous 6.7 inches.
The 2010 Honda CR-V is offered in three trim levels: LX, EX, and EX-L. Standard across the board is a tire-pressure-monitoring system, 17-inch wheels, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, an MP3/auxilliary audio input jack, speed-sensitive volume control and a "conversation mirror" on the back of the sun visor. LX and EX models have a retractable center tray table between the front seats, while EX-L versions have a fixed, floor-mounted console. Two covered storage containers are included – the larger of which is big enough to hold 24 CDs. EX and EX-L models gain a folding, removable, dual-level shelf in the cargo bay for added storage options, while the EX-L has a 10-way power driver's seat including power lumbar support, dual-zone automatic climate control and an upgraded audio system, with 270 watts of power, a six-disc, center console-mounted CD changer, seven speakers (including subwoofer), USB input and a digital audio-card reader.
Honda's Real Time four-wheel-drive system is available on all trim levels. A GPS navigation system with a large, six-and-a-half-inch screen, voice recognition, Bluetooth and rearview camera function is offered on EX-L models.
The 2010 Honda CR-V has a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 180 horsepower and delivers its 161 pound-feet of torque across a wider power band than previously. The four-cylinder engine is linked exclusively to a five-speed automatic transmission. The loss of an available five-speed manual transmission – formerly standard equipment on previous generation CR-Vs – may be lamented by mileage maximizers, but Honda says that the demand for stick-shift CR-Vs among buyers was just too low.

"I do 80 miles day, all highway. Has been dependable since day one. Comfortable ride, plenty of power, and loads of space. A few problems I have had. 1st, is the service from Honda Corp. Absolutely Horrible. Soon after purchase, there was a recall on the timing. I went from 33 to 34 mpg, down to 27. After numerous calls to Honda, I was basically told, "too bad" . I can honestly say Ive never been treated so bad from a company. That alone will make me think more than once about buying another Honda. Next, the interior is pretty cheaply made. I am small and lightweight, but the edges of my seat are cracked and splitting. It has always been garage kept, so it does not sit in the sun or heat. Also, the rear seat latch detached so I can't fold the seat up, after doing so maybe 10 times over the 3 years since new."

I owned and sold this car
Reason: upgraded to more options on new CRV
Pros: "lots of room, good on gas. 4WD is great"
Cons: "none"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I had a very basic 2011 model. I t ran great but the comfort level was not what I wanted, so I traded for a 2014 with more options. 4WD CR-V is a great vehicle for commuting. Gas mileage is great, lots of room."

"I have enjoyed my CRV for almost 5 years. It has been very reliable and has suited all my needs. Love that I can carry lots of stuff from box stores, ladders, moldings, etc. It's a great utility vehicle! My only complaint is that the seats are not very comfortable for long distances. They are a little hard on the bottom area. ;)"

"This car met all my expectations. Solid build, good fuel mileage, almost no mechanical issues i.e. The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) does not work after a couple of years, but I was never a big fan anyway, but it does effect ability to turn off stability control. I love Honda cars, very well thought out, very well put together"

Hot Property | Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon delist their home
The home was listed on the MLS as a "celebrity estate." The couple has decided to sell the home privately instead.
Perhaps not realizing they would receive so much media attention, singer-songwriter superstar Mariah Carey and her husband, Nick Cannon, pulled their Bel-Air, Calif., home from the Multiple Listing Service only four days after listing it for sale at $12.995 million.
The home was listed on the MLS as a "celebrity estate." The couple has decided to sell the home privately instead.
Their gated 3-acre property features a Hamptons-inspired mansion with canyon, city and reservoir views. The 11,750 square feet of interior space continues the traditional vibe of the exterior with high ceilings, wood floors and French doors.
The home also includes an indoor basketball court, a gym, a home theater, seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. One of the six fireplaces is in the kitchen.
An expansive hall for entertaining called an Aspen room has a vaulted beamed ceiling, walls of windows, a massive stone fireplace and room for several hundred guests.
Not surprisingly, a music studio is among improvements the couple made since buying the house five years ago for $6.975 million.
The grounds include a putting green, a swimming pool and parking for more than 20 vehicles.
The prolific Carey, known for her remarkable vocal range, has won five Grammy Awards for her work. The actor-singer Cannon has written for several TV shows and has hosted "America's Got Talent" since 2009.

LMCO: No church too small to do global missions, pastor says
Lottie Moon Christmas Offering: Pastor encourages churches of all sizes to keep banding together to extend missions reach.
Lottie Moon Christmas Offering: Pastor encourages churches of all sizes to keep banding together to extend missions reach.
Scripture instructs the wise person to "count the cost." This aptly applies to conversations about the Cooperative Program.
Though Japan's 'triple disaster' happened three years ago, Southern Baptists continue to provide what BGR partners call 'heart care,' building on a foundation laid by Global Hunger Relief and Baptist Global Response.
One reason the church has, and must, concern itself with feeding the hungry that Jesus taught "the last shall be first" and we believe we should model his other-directed servant leadership.
Helps answer common questions in a simple and memorable way so that you can begin to naturally and actively share it with others.
Lives are transformed in a Louisiana neighborhood severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina as church members invite residents to "come with us" instead of "come to us."
Hunger is not someone else's problem; it's our problem as Southern Baptists. Through Global Hunger Relief, we are working together to do something tangible to help our neglected neighbors.
A Texas tomato business owner left an estate gift of more than $5 million to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. While you may not have that amount to give, designating your estate plan to include missions leaves a legacy far beyond your years.
2014 Week of Prayer for International Missions: November 30 – December 7 | SBC of Virginia goal: $3.25 million
It's going to take a long time to rebuild Tacloban, Philippines, after Typhoon Haiyan virtually destroyed the city. But Southern Baptists are committed to the community, and Global Hunger Relief is helping restore lives.
You can start now to combat the global hunger crisis: praying for the hungry and saving -- even a few pennies here and there -- to give an offering on behalf of people in need.
With World Hunger Sunday (Oct. 12) approaching, churches and other groups who want to engage the global hunger crisis have a variety of free and inexpensive resources available to them.

I have always had a particular attraction to Philippians 2:12, "Work out your salvation with fear and trembling," partly because it creates a crisis for evangelicals with a formulaic "decision for Christ" account of salvation. I do believe that justification by faith is a core part of our salvation, but I also think that δικάιοω (justify) means "make just" more than "declare just" in a way that the English language screws up with the word "justification."

This work suggests that people who believe that their efforts drive success in situations tend to work harder and to do more positive and healthy things than people who believe that factors outside their control are affecting outcomes. Essentially, when you believe that your own actions matter, then you work to create the outcomes you desire. When you believe that your actions will not have much of an impact on the future, then you do not put in much effort.
A key concept in this work is locus of control. People with an internal locus of control believe that they are the authors of their destiny. People with an external locus of control believe that circumstances control their future. Much of the work on this idea has focused on locus of control as a personality trait that is relatively stable over time.

The State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) has taken a serious view of the reality shows featuring dances by children on TV channels and warned that it would stop shows violating children's rights.
The commission was reacting to a plea by some parents of children that it should not act on the representation by NGOs last week.
These organisations sought a ban on shows as they were obscene. The SHRC Chairman B. Subhashan Reddy told the delegation of six parents that objectionable scenes should not be displayed in the shows.
The shows could not escape action of the commission if they were indeed found to be objectionable. He is stated to have asked them if they were not uncomfortable with the dressing of their children in the shows.
He advised the parents to ensure proper upbringing of the children. He expressed dismay that the parents allowed obscene dances in place of traditional ones. He indicated taking a decision on the issue by April 28.
The parents, including an ophthalmologist Mamata, informed the commission that there was neither obscenity nor vulgarity in the dances by children as alleged by the NGOs and a women's organisation.
They told him that the shows helped in identifying and promoting young talent. These were also a source of income to poor parents. As such, they should not be stopped.
The All India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA), Vanamali Cultural Society, Society for Education through Community Mobilisation and a social worker P.A. Devi had petitioned the SHRC on Friday and Saturday stating that the realty shows adversely impacted children as the songs and dances in them bordered on 'vampish' performances.

I believe that I have solved the puzzle of who Edmund Holleman was. In 1795, Edmund Holleman, John Holleman, Wilson Holleman, and Elizabeth Holleman sign a deed to sell property in Surry Co., VA. Elizabeth Holleman was probably the mother of the three men above, including Edmund Holleman, who was just a few years younger than Wilson Holleman. Wilson Holleman, Josiah John Holleman, and Edmund Holleman were all enumerated on the Census of Hardin Co., TN in January, 1820. In January, 1825, Josiah John Holleman is granted 25 Acres of land in McNairy Co., TN. In June, 1827, Wilson Holleman is granted 169 1/4 acres of land in McNairy Co., TN. In June 1825, Edmund Holleman is an ensign in the Illinois Militia in Union Co., IL. In 1826, Edmund purchases merchandise at an estate sale in Union Co., IL. The probate records for Edmund Holleman are listed in the court records on 26 Jun 1829.

EDITORS NOTE:The following is an article by Paul Hetzler, horticulture and natural resources educator for Cornell Cooperative Extension of St. Lawrence County.
By PAUL HETZLER
Of all the memorable aromas of the holiday season, nothing evokes its spirit like the perfume of fresh-cut evergreen. Although more than 80 percent of American households where Christmas is observed use artificial trees, around 11 million families still use real trees.
Every species of conifer has its own mixture of sweet-smelling terpenols and esters that account for that piney woods perfume. While all natural Christmas trees share many of the same aromatic compounds, some people prefer the smell of a certain type of tree, possibly one they remember from childhood. Even if it turns out that using a polyvinylchloride tree is more eco-friendly than using a natural one, no chemistry lab will ever match the fragrance of fresh pine, fir or spruce in the house.
The origins of the Christmas tree are unclear, but according to the Encyclopedia Britannica, The use of evergreen trees, wreaths, and garlands to symbolize eternal life was a custom of the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, and Hebrews. Tree worship was common among the pagan Europeans and survived their conversion to Christianity in the Scandinavian customs of decorating the house and barn with evergreens at the New Year to scare away the devil and of setting up a tree for the birds during Christmas.
In Eastern Europe in the 15th century, decorated Christmas trees were erected inside guild halls. Then in 16th century Germany, Martin Luther apparently helped kindle, so to speak, the custom of the indoor home Christmas tree by bringing an evergreen tree into his house and decorating it with candles. For centuries, Christmas trees were brought into the house on Dec. 24and were not removed until after the Christian feast of Epiphany on Jan. 6.
In terms of New York State favorites, the firsDouglas, balsam, and Fraserare very popular, being the most aromatic evergreens. When kept in water, firs all have excellent needle retention. Scots and white pine also keep their needles well. While our native white pine is more fragrant than Scots, the latter far outsells the former, possibly because the sturdy Scots can bear quite a load of decorations without its branches drooping. Spruces have strong branches, but quickly shed their needles. They naturally have a good Christmas-tree shape, though none of them is very scented; in fact some think white spruce smells unpleasant.
This year, conifers in our region produced an unusually heavy cone crop. Even some young trees of Christmas-tree size are heavily decorated with cones. If you cut a tree locally you can probably find one laden with its own natural ornaments if that appeals to you.
For the most fragrance and the least mess (and fire hazard), cut a one- to two-inch cookie off the butt end before placing the tree in water, and top off the reservoir every two days. Products claiming to improve needle retention dont work, according to research, so save your money. Youll also save with LED tree lights, as they use much less power than conventional ones. Plus, they dont dry out the tree nearly as fast.
Fire-safety advocates say to keep the tree away from heat sources, including electronics, and turn off the tree lights when you leave the room, even if only for a minute.
Whatever your holiday traditions, may your family, friends, and evergreens all be well-hydrated, sweet-scented and a source of good cheer.
