Divine Immutability and the Doctrines of Grace (pt. 4)
from John MacArthur May 08, 2009 Category: ArticlesSecond Timothy 1:9 introduces us to the answer. Speaking of God, the verse says that He "saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began." The phrase before the ages began is the English translation of the same Greek phrase rendered with the same words in Titus 1:2. Here, too, it literally means "before time began." In eternity past, before the dawn of history, God made the irrevocable decision to grant salvation to the redeemed. This is the promise of Titus 1:2, and it is a promise that God made according to His own independent purpose and grace. Put simply, it was a promise He made to Himself. Keep Reading

from John MacArthur May 07, 2009 Category: ArticlesThough the doctrine of election applies to all that God does in a general sense, it most often refers, in a specific New Testament sense, to the election of sinners to become redeemed saints within the church. Divine election, in this particular regard, speaks of God's independent and predetermined choice of those whom He would save and place into the corporate body of Christ. God did not save certain sinners because they chose Him, but because He chose them. Keep Reading

from Keith Mathison May 06, 2009 Category: ArticlesThe nineteenth-century Roman Catholic theologian George Tyrrell once criticized Adolf von Harnack's liberal view of Jesus in these now famous words: "The Christ that Harnack sees, looking back through nineteen centuries of Catholic darkness, is only the reflection of a Liberal Protestant face, seen at the bottom of a deep well." In other words, nineteenth-century liberals projected their own values and ideals onto Jesus and then used this man-made Jesus to support those values and ideals. Keep Reading

Divine Immutability and the Doctrines of Grace (pt. 1)
from John MacArthur May 04, 2009 Category: ArticlesThe Bible repeatedly and unapologetically underscores the fact that God does not change. In fact, He cannot change because He cannot improve on absolute perfection or decline in His eternally fixed nature. His person does not change: "'For I the Lord do not change'" (Mal. 3:6). His plans do not change: "The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations" (Ps. 33:11). His purpose does not change: "So when God desired to show more convincingly . . . the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath" (Heb. 6:17). God does not change His mind: "'The Glory of Israel will not lie or have regret, for he is not a man, that he should have regret'" (1 Sam. 15:29); or His words: "The Holy One of Israel . . . does not call back his words" (Isa. 31:1-2); or His calling: "The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable" (Rom. 11:29; cf. Heb. 13:8; James 1:17). There are absolutely no changes in God, no variations, and no surprises (cf. Ps. 102:27). Keep Reading

Rated 5 out of 5�by ara32 I like it a lot One thing I hate is that when I love a product from bebe I usually get it in most colors (and that ends up expensive) and I can't help it. This is the case with this blouse. I love these colors and design. The shirt is of good quality and the fit is good. The length is not very long but perfect with jeans that dont have a very low rise.

Adam good fit for Mavs
Tuesday, January 8, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — The Seacoast Mavericks, a member of the Futures Collegiate Baseball League, have announced that David Adam has been selected as the Manager of the 2013 Seacoast Mavericks Collegiate Baseball Team.
After retiring from professional baseball, Adam dedicated his efforts to player development through instruction, coaching, and scouting. While an associate scout for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Adam was pitching coach for Oyster River High School, head coach for the Hesser College baseball program, and in 2003 led the Rye, N.H. Little League All-Star team to the state championship and a place in the Little League Regionals in Bristol, Conn. Adam continued to coach the Rye Little League All-Star team through 2005.
"The talent on the 2013 Seacoast Mavericks collegiate team is extraordinary," Adam said. "When the opportunity presented itself, I knew it was the right choice to step up to this level. I know what it's like to be a 19- or 20-year-old player that has the world of baseball ahead. I think given my past experience, it will be a great summer at Leary Field in Portsmouth and my team will be far better off in August as players and as men than they were in the spring."

A Look at Tethys: Predicting Diabetes is the Easy Part
A few months ago, we got a tip from a researcher about a new product from a company called Tethys Bioscience that can quite accurately predict a person's likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes. This sounded pretty revolutionary, in large part because it has the potential to save the country billions of dollars in diabetes prevention. But does knowing your risk actually motivate people?!

Nice but not the color I wanted
I liked the curtains, but had to return them. I ordered the pink thinking it was going to be more of a petal pink, but it was a pink pink. I would have liked them if they were a few shades lighter.Read More
Very nice drapes
These drapes are great. They block the light very thoroughly and are not stiff like other blackout curtains I have owned. Would definitely buy again.Read More
Great window Curtains
The color and material are great and the curtains do take out the direct sunlight and they do make the bedroom feel cooler.Read More
The curtains protect the unwanted outside light, my daughter loves themRead More
Nice, heavy curtains
These are really nice and come with tie backs, they are a heavy material. I ended up returning them because i changed the color palette, I wish they would have worked.Read More
Really nice!
I'm so happy with these blackout curtains! I ordered 2 sets for a large double wide window measuring 80" wide and hung them on a rod with matching clip-on rings, (also from Overstock,) that I extended to 106" wide. This creates the illusion of a much wider window and allows me to pull the curtains open and have the bulk of the fabric on either side without blocking the view. When the curtains are pulled closed there is still plenty of material to create soft folds across the window. This blocks about 95% of the light through this east-facing window.I bought the gray which is more of a blue-gray, as another reviewer mentioned. It works beautifully with my soft gray carpet even though there is no blue tone to the carpet color. The curtain fabric is the same color on both sides and has a somewhat heavy, yet soft, silky texture that drapes beautifully. I was surprised that the thread used was white, not gray, and the hem is just straight stitched, not a more hidden hem-stitch that I would have used if I made them myself. I thought that was going to be pretty noticeable but frankly, now that they are hung, it doesn't bother me enough to complain. I ironed them before hanging them, although they weren't overly wrinkled. Overall, the look is beautiful, they block the light effectively and I would definately buy them again at this great price.Read More
Already Notice A Difference
I compared this product with 2 others sets of curtains from two major department stores. (one starts with "S" the other with a "K") These curtains were mid-range between both stores in terms of price, but the quality is superior! I have 2 large sliding glass doors that face West, so as the winter winds started to blow, I needed a solution. When this product arrived, I immediate loved the color and texture. When I hung them up, they definitely blocked out more light than the other ones I had tried. I can already tell a difference in the reduction of cold air that used to enter my living room. I never know what to think of these ratings when I read them. It's hard to order curtains without seeing them first. After shopping around, I had to leave a comment and highly recommend these.Read More
Good Product & Great Value
I liked these curtains enough to buy them for 5 rooms in my home. The feel of the fabric is soft and smooth and they drape nicely. They're not heavy or stiff. I have purchased Chocolate, Beige and Dark Olive. The two darker colors do a great job of blocking light, the Beige not as well but still very good--good enough to use in the room of my day-sleeping shift-worker.(The Beige is not a gold at all but more of a very nice Stone or Antique White color.) We have a room with a wall of large windows and they help a lot with insulating. Before hanging I tossed them in the dryer with a damp cloth for 10-15 min. , hung them up right away, and all wrinkles or folds disappeared.Read More
When they say "soft," they mean it.
As someone familiar only with heavy, rubber-backed insulated drapes, I think the manufacturers seriously under-promoted that aspect of this product in the description. I can't believe how soft they are, and how well they hang and drape, nothing like the old insulated curtains. The fabric has a rich feel, but silky smooth, and it completely blocks the light, even direct sunlight. You may have a little light bleed through at the top where the rod is, but the fabric itself is totally, surprisingly, opaque. You can't tell if it's day or night, at least through the fabric. All of us online shoppers know the feeling of buying an item, and, once it arrives, finding out that it somehow doesn't live up to our expectations. This product exceeded my expectations, and will probably go into my Hall of Fame of Great Online Finds. Score one for the shopper!Read More
Black Out Curtains
I loved these curtains, but I ordered the gray and they are not gray. They are a smoke blue, they look terrible next to anything that is gray. If you are looking for the gray, do not order them because gray will not be what you get. Other than the color being really off on this one, I really liked the darkening they provided to the room. Seemed to help with outside noise as well. I had to return them and no other color will work for the gray I need.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello cassandra m., you will be contacted by Customer Care. Have a great day.
What color are the metal grommets?
Hello Sharrup, this item does not include metal grommets. Thank you for shopping with us.
Are these curtains pleated at the top as the appear in the photos?
Hello CMAC, these lovely panels are reviewed to appear just like the photo. Thank you for shopping with us.
Why did you choose this product?
to coordinate with beddings in my child room and to save energy.
It had great reviews!
Coloring looks nice
Need it.
Good price and good product
Initially I chose to view this because it was a thermal curtain, but I ultimately chose these curtains because of the customer reviews. I hope I'm not disappointed. :)
Color selection and sound light barrier
previously purchased and pleased
Looking for thermal/black out curtains for my sliding glass door. Was looking for a color that will compliment red. These will go in my dining room and my kitchen is right there too which will be painted red. Not sure what color the dining room will be. So far they suggest the same red as just a counter separates the 2 rooms. Ordered one pair to see how I like them.
Color looks right, wish they were back-tab, the price is right, and they're machine washable.
Color choice and having the front and back color match.
Bought same item before- worked well, nice appearance.
size , color, price, many good reviews
Price and quality
Because of the reviews and because I got two panels for the price of one .
I need them for a children's bedroom and want the blackout feature for naps!
previous purchase
what is the weight of these curtains... what kind of rods can be used to hang these. Please recommend an economical rods for these curtains from overstock wesite
I have just a regular wooden dowel style rod and it works just fine. They are a bit heavy, but not to the tone of needing an expensive curtain rod.
Hello Bella, I hope your day is going well. The approximate weight is 5 pounds. Look at item 15826980 for use with these curtains. Thank you for shopping with us and have a great week.
I don't see a photo for the slate grey color. Both dark grey and slate grey are listed as color options.
Hello fg613, I hope your day is going well. The slate is the 5th picture from the last picture. Thank you for shopping with us.
What color is the backside of the curtain? Is it white or navy?
Hello gkdoherty, I hope your day is going well. The color is the same on the front and back. Thank you for shopping with us.
Beige 84" curtains are sold in panel pairs? Is there a problem if I need more than 6 pairs in an Overstock item? GS...
Hello GAS, this lovley item is sold as two panels per set. We are currently in stock for you to order more than six sets at this time. Thank you for shopping with us.
I am curious about how easily the drapes pleat when opened. I have backatb curtains in my daughters room and they do not open very easily, or pleat very nicely. I have to tug them across the rod and they just hang kind of messy. I would like these for our master bedroom, but would like them to open easily and pleat nicely as if they were grommet top drapes. Any input?
I have a wooden curtain rod. The back tabs are quite large, so they do slide easily and drape nicely. If you had a thinner rod, you could also feed the drapes through the smaller opening, rather than the back tabs.
what is the width of each panel?
Hello T.C., each panel is approximately 52 inches wide. Thanks for shopping with us!
Can you use these outdoors?
Thank you for your question, cb8855. No, the Insulated Thermal Blackout 84-inch Curtain Panel Pair is for indoor use only. Have a great day.
Do these curtains come with tie backs?
Hello Theresa, tie backs are not included with this product. Thanks for shopping with us.
What is the difference between "beige" and "tan"?
Hello lwag2014, to me beige is a little bit lighter than tan. We try to represent the colors of our products accurately. Unfortunately, due to the difference in monitor colors we cannot guarantee that the color will match exactly what you see on your screen.
Are both sides the same color?
Yes. I ordered these in black and both side were indeed the same color.
love the reviews on these curtains. But I am looking for the color yellow. If not available in this curtain, can you recommend another with such favorable ratings in a yellow?
Hello rachel5207, unfortunately, we do not offer this panel in a yellow option. Thank you for shopping with us!
Can I also get this curtain in an 84" wide x 84" long set of panels in artichoke green?
Hello dkcrky, thank you for your inquiry. We do apologize, we are not currently in stock with this item in a 84x84 panel at this time. Thank you for shopping with us.
Can these curtains be hung outside on a patio setting or are they only indoor recommended?
They aren't made for outdoors.
I like the look of these curtains and need black-outs. However, I want to use them as replacements on my family room French doors and the rod I use is one with a cord to pull open the curtains. I believe they call the current curtains "pinch pleats" and I'm wondering if these curtains will work on my curtain rod. I don't want to change them to a manual rod. Thanks for any help you can provide.
If your pinch pleats are the ones that have the metal hook that goes into the curtain, you could put those hooks onto this curtain, but it could tear. On a pinch pleat curtain, they make a place for the hook to go and the hook is sewn in sort of. The material on these curtains doesn't seem thick enough to put heavy metal hooks in it and then pulling it back and forth on the pull string. Also, the black out is not complete.
I have the royal blue and they are blackout. Can't say about lighter colours. You would need use an appropriate rod, not one made for the older style pinch pleat.
I have a set of 4 windows that measure 162in (allowing about 4in on either side) wide, I would like to order these and was wondering how many sets I would need, also can you suggest a curtain rod that would be about 162in long?
Hello Scott, thank you for your inquiry. This set does include two panels that is a total of 104 inches wide for entire width. We do apologize, we are not currently in stock with curtain rods that extend to 162 inches long. Thank you for shopping with us.
I have a 90" wide patio door and purchased 2 sets for each side for a total of 4 panels. I bought a room darkening curtain rod on another site but you can do a word search on O. to find some. Curtains are really a beautiful color but if your main thing is a totally blackout room, it might disappoint and didn't notice a thermal effect. But they are a really beautiful blue - very hard to find a blue so nice.
HOW HEAVY IS EACH CURTAIN? I want to make sure my line rod system can support them. Thanks.
We are still researching this and should have the answer shortly.
These curtains are a great weight, not so heavy that my 8 foot rods cannot support two of them plus center panels. I have used both the 95" and the 84" panels in this way, on a single rod. To me they are surprisingly lightweight for curtains that are thermal and keep out both cold and hot air . However they have enough weight so they drape just beautifully, they are NOT thin.
Hello mar, the pair weighs only about four pounds. Thank you for shopping with us.
They aren't heavy like velvet or other curtains. Material is substantial but not overly heavy. I have 4 panels (2 sets) on a 95" rod and it's no problem.
The curtains are not nearly as heavy as top-quality blackout curtains. However, the Walmart rods that we thought would support them quickly became U-shaped!
These are, by even the most modest standards Definitely TOP QUALITY thermal curtains as review after review states. on my double windows I have 4 pairs of curtains. 2 pair of thermal curtains with decorative curtains between them, all of which puddle on the floor and drape beautifully . These high quality thermal drapes/curtains GORGEOUS as well as a terrific medium weight.

FAQs about Thermal Insulated Curtains
Create privacy and save energy when you buy thermal curtains for your home. They're made of materials that provide a layer of insulation that prevents hot or cold air from entering or escaping a room through a drafty window. While thermal curtains are often made of heavy materials, like cotton or velvet, to regulate the amount of light that comes into the room, you can find curtains in a variety of fabrics that go with any room decor. Learn more about these curtains by reading the answers to frequently asked questions about thermal curtains.
How to Install Blackout Curtains
Blackout curtains can keep a room cool and dark even when it's bright and sunny outside. A completely dark room is a wonderful thing if you have a job that requires you to work all night or even if you just want a dark room for watching a movie when it's light outside. In addition, blackout window treatments help you conserve energy by keeping heat in and cold out or vice versa. You have two choices when it comes to installing blackout curtains: You can buy curtains that come with blackout liners already sewn in, or you can add panels of blackout fabric to the curtains you already own.
How to Hang a Valance and Curtains
Hanging a valance and curtains over your window will add dimension, texture and style to any room. Window curtains with a valance give your window treatments a finished, designer look. If you want to block out light, a valance and full-length blackout panel curtain is your best choice. If you are more interested in decoration and only need to block minimal light, then a valance over sheer curtains is a good choice. It's important to measure the window and decide what type of curtains you want before you buy the curtain hardware. A cafe rod will be sufficient to support a sheer curtain, but you will need a stronger curtain rod to support heavier fabrics such as blackout panels. Also, the larger the window, the sturdier the curtain rod will need to be.
How to Adjust Tension Rods
Curtains are a great way to accent the decor in every room in the house. Tension rods, also called spring rods, are curtain hardware which allow you to hang window curtains, wall curtains or shower curtains without installing curtain rod hardware on the walls. If an existing tension rod slips or if you want to change the curtain panels or add curtain rings, you may need to remove and adjust the rod before putting it back in place. Tension rods are positioned between two facing surfaces, such as the interior frame of a window or the opposing sides of a shower cubicle.
How to Create a Bishop's Sleeve Window Treatment

A bishop's sleeve window treatment looks best in formal living rooms or dining rooms and can be done easily using curtains you already have. You can create this look yourself in a matter of minutes.

Best Dresses for Petite Women
If you are petite, finding clothing that fits correctly is essential. Petite apparel prevents you from looking boxy or drowning in too much fabric and ensures a fit that flatters your body. Shopping for petite clothing will help you find the right sizes with all the fashionable options as other departments. The best dresses for petites are easy to find with a few simple guidelines. V-necks draw the eye up toward the face. V-necks are flattering for all types of women, since they show off the neck and encourage the appearance of a long, lean body. Petite dresses that have a V-neck also create a vertical line and give the impression that you are taller. Look for petite clothing that allows you to play with accessories and show them off. For an evening look, pair the V-neck with layers of necklaces to look glamorous. Find knee-length dresses to flatter your legs. As a petite woman, flowing long dresses may cause you to look smaller. When more leg is showing, you will appear taller. A flattering petite dress is hemmed at the knee or just above the knee. Pair a petite dress with heels and your legs will appear long and lean. Don't go much shorter than slightly above the knee, since it may be inappropriate for work or more elegant parties. Select petite apparel that hits at the right length and is flattering to your curves. Vertical designs will elongate your body. Look taller by finding dresses that have a vertical design. Dresses that have vertical stripes create the illusion that there is more length. On the other hand, dresses that have too many patterns or colors may cause petite women to appear smaller. A simple dress is flattering, whether it's one solid color or contains a subtle pattern. Petite women can use a wide belt at the waist in the same color as the dress. Using a belt in a different color may cause you to look shorter, in addition to cutting your appearance in half at the waist.

How to Choose Curtains and Drapes for Your Home
Picking out the best window coverings for your home may not be rocket science, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't put some consideration into what you choose. Instead of buying curtains based strictly on looks, think about the way you want the curtains to hang and the amount of privacy you want them to provide. Keep these tips in mind as you shop for new curtains or drapes.
Curtains Buying Guide
Add style and color to any room with the right window treatments. Curtains help define the theme of space and add a finishing touch to the overall decor. Are you staring at a blank room, wondering where to start? Select your curtains, and then pull colors and patterns from them for your rugs, pillows, furniture, lamps, art, and accents. Curtains also provide a simple and affordable way to finish or update a room. This guide is the perfect place to start when you're looking for inspiration and tips on window treatment selection and installation.
Tips on Buying Drapes
You can add style to every room when you hang new drapes. You may want window drapes to complement existing decor or to set a new style in the room, but you'll want to think about other factors before you buy drapes. These tips will help you find the window treatments that work for your space.
Best Window Treatments for the Bedroom
The bedroom is the place to go to relax in comfort as well as to get a good night's sleep. No matter what style bedroom decor you have, choosing the best window treatments for the bedroom is based on function, appearance and design. First and foremost, decide if you want simple curtains or more dramatic window treatments to enhance the appearance of the room.
How to Pick Curtains
Curtains can add a distinct feel or the finishing touch to a room. Whether the room is undergoing a complete remodel or just needs sprucing up, the selection of window curtains can add or distract from the desired outcome. Things to consider before selecting curtains are the room they will hang in, color, style and design elements such as curtain hardware and embellishments. Consider whether the curtains are more functional or ornamental in use.
How to Choose Ski Clothing
A lot of personal choice comes into play when choosing ski clothing. Ski and snowboard clothing can range from a long-sleeve, one-piece outfit or ski bibs over a shirt, to a two-piece matching outfit consisting of ski pants and a ski jacket. Personal style, however, should not trump comfort. Ensure a fun, comfortable day on the slopes by choosing ski apparel that is easy to move in and keeps you warm and dry when skiing.

Top 5 Curtain Rods for Formal Living Rooms
Formal living rooms need something more than a standard curtain rod to exude elegance and timelessness. You can have the most luxurious couches and elaborate wall art, but without the right window treatments, the room will still feel bare. The best curtain fabric to hang in living rooms is typically something heavy, with a sheen, like damask or silk. These weighty textiles need equally strong hardware to balance the look. Here are the best curtain hardware styles for your formal living room.
How to Save Money on Your Heating Bill
Why waste your money on heat that just leaks out of the house? You can save money on your heating bill significantly if you make your house as airtight as possible and control your heating consistently. For example, winterizing your windows can help you save money and the environment by using less gas heat, electric heat or heating fuel. If your windows are very old or drafty, you may want to replace them with new energy-efficient windows; however, to work with what you have, you can follow a few steps to minimize your energy loss and keep your home warm and comfortable all winter.

Congratulations to Jukka Silvennoinen (symbianyucca), our Poster of the Month for June!
Jukka is a member of the Nokia Developer technical services team, a moderator, a former Champion, and a long term member of the community (2001!). While supporting developers on our forums is something he is encouraged to do as part of his role, the time he spends on the discussion boards (and wiki) both in work and his own time is "well beyond the call of duty". Jukka will not be sent a prize because he's a Nokia employee: so please join me to congratulate and thank him for being a great member of the community.
We'd also like to make an "honourable mention" to other key contributors this month, including Traud, shai.i and wizard_hu_.
The Nokia Developer Discussion Boards Poster of the Month is awarded based on the quality, camaraderie, consistency, and to some small extent the quantity of discussion board responses as judged by the Nokia Developer Moderators. In addition to receiving a high end Nokia device POM winners are considered in Champion selection rounds and gain the respect of their peers. It also looks pretty good on your resume!
