The US has a similar program, although it's more demanding of the entrepreneur. Most other countries have a similar means of buying one's way in.
It is possible for the husband or wife of an Italian citizen to obtain Italian citizenship after a few years. The spouse may have zero percent "Italian blood." The Italian citizen may never have set foot in Italy. Descendents born from women before 1948, on the other hand, may have full Italian blood, or some or little, but are not eligible.
Whatever reasons the Italian government has for setting its rules as it does, the government has the absolute say. Remember that the same government that is denying 1948 cases in consulates is now granting it in the courts. It may welcome the revenue from such cases or maybe lawyers have an agreement with judges so that they can continue to profit from such cases, or there may be many other reasons why they are granting citizenship in the 1948 cases. That's how it is.
Maybe jennabet's Facebook friends or personal blog readers would be interested in her ideas of what is fair and not fair in light of Italian citizenship law. But if you have even the slightest awareness of citizenship law the world over, you will probably find something objectionable about it from your personal perspective. The point is that if it is possible to avail yourself of a particular citizenship that you would find valuable, and you have the means to obtain it, then you will do so, regardless of anyone else's emotions about what you should do.
I'm going to try to beat the 1948 rule, and I'm here to get advice about doing so. I won't bore anyone with my personal emotional connection to Italy, nor should anyone else feel that they need to prove their personal emotional connection to Italy to anyone else here. This is not the place for it.

Wiggins, the No. 1 pick in this year's draft, is a key piece in the proposed Kevin Love deal.
Wiggins told his former college coach that playing with the Timberwolves will be better for his long-term future.
Wiggins was a guest instructor at Self's basketball camp in suburban Kansas City on Sunday. He declined to speak to reporters at the camp.
"When all this trade stuff started, I talked to Andrew and Andrew told me, "I hope I get traded," Self said. "And I'm like, 'No you don't.' And he said, "Coach, I do. It's better for me, knowing my personality and what I need to do, to go somewhere where I'm forced to be something as opposed to going in there where they're going to be patient with me and I'm going to be a piece."
It was widely reported last week that the Timberwolves agreed to send Love, an All-Star power forward, to the Cavaliers for Wiggins, former No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett and a future first-round draft pick.
Because the Cavaliers signed Wiggins to a contract on July 24, they cannot officially trade him until Aug. 23 -- 30 days after the signing. The teams can work out a deal, but it cannot be made official until the 30-day moratorium passes.
Self initially believed that Wiggins was in an ideal situation playing alongside star forward LeBron James in Cleveland, but now thinks that Wiggins is better off in Minnesota playing a starring role.
"Even though in a weird way everybody would love the opportunity to play with LeBron because you're guaranteed winning, for the longevity of his career, he needs to develop that mindset to be the guy, for him to be great, and I think being in Minnesota will help him do that," Self said.
Wiggins should be a good fit for the Timberwolves, who have a young point guard in Ricky Rubio running coach Flip Saunders' up-tempo offense.
"I think he's handled everything great. He's excited," Self said. "I think the whole thing that's been blown out of proportion a bit is that he's been in limbo. He's known since the summer that he'd be traded. It's OK. In some ways he's looking forward to going to Minnesota."

Divorce is no laughing matter. Just ask Meryl Streep's Oscar from Kramer Vs. Kramer. Yes, it is a very serious things that rips apart families, destroys children, and is disintegrating the moral fabric of this country. Well, that's what movies always lead us to believe. The funniest thing about divorce comedy A.C.O.D. is that it shows that divorce has been around long enough that we can now laugh about it. And watching this movie, you will laugh plenty.
The title stands for "adult children of divore" and the premise of the movie shows exactly why its time has come. Adam Scott stars as a man whose parents (Richard Jenkins and Catherine O'Hara) had a vicious divorce when he was 9 years-old. Now that his brother (Clark Duke) is getting married he has to forge a truce between the two. He also was the subject of a book about children who were screwed up by divorce and now the pyschologist who wrote the book (Jane Lynch) is interviewing him for the follow up.
Yes, Scott's character Carter is part of a generation where divorce is just a part of the world. In classrooms growing up half of the students were from "broken homes," and now that generation has come of age and society has changed. We're finally at a point where we can joke about divorce.
Many of the jokes in director Stu Zicherman's debut feature land quite well. But when you're dealing with comedy vets like O'Hara, Lynch, and Amy Poehler, who plays Carter's bitchy step mother, of course the hilarity is going to be off the charts. What makes the movie great is that the subject matter is fresh, dealing with the interactions, jealousies, and grievances of a sprawling family, but the structure is familiar. A.C.O.D. is set up like your standard rom-com (for Christ sakes there's even a small part for Jessica Alba as the hot girl who threatens to rip it all apart) except what Scott is falling in love with and out of love with and in love with again is his family.
This movie has not only a handful of belly laughs but a few twists and turns up its sleeve. The greatest weapon in its arsenal, however, is Scott, who has proven himself to be the American Hugh Grant (a higher compliment, I can not pay) who is goofy and befuddled while also being very earnest and totally dreamy. Just like in last year's Friends with Kids he proves himself an adept straight man in a cast of crazies, trying to anchor things down even as he sees them falling apart. He doesn't have the range of many other comic actors, but his product is one we should all buy stock in, because it would make all of us very rich. And then when we're all rich and want to divorce our husbands (or wives) then at least we'll be able to laugh at it. A.C.O.D. opens a door for all of that, and I can't wait to see the brave new world of what divorce comedies will follow.

The Jews as a nation.
The following article summarizes the origins of and general reactions to Jewish nationalism. It is reprinted with permission from A Historical Atlas of the Jewish People, published by Schocken Books.
The roots of Zionism lay in Eastern Europe, notably within the confines of the Russian Empire. It was there, towards the end of the 19th century, that the largest and, in many ways, the most dynamic of Jewish communities was located--though it was also the most troubled. Conceived by czarist autocracy as a major obstacle to its drive to transform the population into a uniform and malleable society, Russian Jewry was subjected to extremely severe pressure to change its customs, culture, and religion. The Jews, for the most part, tended to bear with the laws that regulated their daily lives and cumulatively humiliated and impoverished them. But when wholesale expulsions from certain areas and successive waves of physical attack were added to the long‑familiar misery, life under Russian rule in the 1880s began to be judged intolerable.
The Jewish predicament precipitated several reactions, all with a view to finding a lasting solution: a vast movement of emigration, chiefly to the west; the radicalization and politicization of great numbers of young Jewish people, many bending their energies to the overthrow of autocracy; and, among the increasingly secular intelligentsia, a rise in modern nationalist consciousness. It was the latter tendency--Zionism--that bore the most radical implications and was to have the most remarkable results.
The Zionist analysis of the nation's afflictions and its prescription for relief consisted of four interconnected theses. First, the fundamental vulnerability of the Jews to persecution and humiliationrequired total, drastic, and collective treatment. Second, reform and rehabilitation--cultural, no less than social and political--must be the work of the Jews themselves, i.e., they had to engineer their own emancipation. Third, only a territorial solution would serve; in other words, that establishing themselves as the majority population in a given territory was the only way to normalize their status and their relations with other peoples and polities. Fourth, only in a land of their own would they accomplish the full, essentially secular, revival of Jewish culture and of the Hebrew language.
These exceedingly radical theses brought the Zionists into endless conflict with an array of hostile forces, both Jewish and non-Jewish. On the one hand, Zionism implied a disbelief in the promise of civil emancipation and a certain contempt for Jews whose fervent wish was assimilation into their immediate environment. On the other hand, by offering a secular alternative to tradition, Zionism challenged religious orthodoxy as well--although, given the orthodox view of Jewry as a nation, the two had something in common after all. The Zionists were thus condemned from the outset to being a minority among the Jews and lacking the support that national movements normally receive from the people to whose liberation their efforts are directed.

Greenpeace activists stage a silent protest on Johannesburg's Empire Road. The activists, dressed in black and wearing protective masks with stickers, hold placards reading 'Stop Nuclear expansion in SA' to oppose the ongoing secrecy within South Africa's nuclear build programme and to urge the South African government to pass legislation that holds nuclear industry liable for any nuclear disaster.

Eating Out in Lincolnshire
Long before 'local', 'seasonal', 'sustainable' and 'organic' became trendy buzz words, Lincolnshire was leading the way in living off the land and keeping old traditions and recipes alive. Food and drink in Lincolnshire is at the very heart and soul of our way of life.
Lincolnshire's specialities are top of the menu across the country, from award-winning, tangy Lincolnshire Poacher Cheese to the peppery flavour of sage-flecked, coarse-ground Lincolnshire Sausages and slabs of the succulent, marbled Lincoln Red Beef... this is proper English food. And that's very true of our traditional mid-afternoon reviver - Lincolnshire plum bread.
Why not pop into one of our many delightful tea rooms and try this delicious treat - made from dried fruit, brown sugar, cinnamon, cold tea and eggs. Goes down really well with a good cup of tea!
For a fine dining experience look for a restaurant with an AA rosette. There are so many restaurants to choose from, English, French, Thai, Chinese, Indian - the list is endless or if you're eating out and about in the county, why not keep it local and visit a Select Lincolnshire for Food restaurant?
Not forgetting that you'll want to take some tasty Lincolnshire produce home with you - or to enjoy during your stay here.

My ex is coming for a visit
Q: I need some advice about an impending visit to my city by an ex-boyfriend.
I dated "Brian" in college for about a year. He had liked me for a while and kind of swooped in while I was in an incredibly emotionally vulnerable place and going through a rather traumatic breakup. He brought me coffee, was there for me, and within weeks was in my bed. He is incredibly smart and sweet and really liked me, but at the time -- honestly, he was kind of a loser. He was smoking a lot of pot (I went to a West Coast public school, so this was not anti-social behavior by any means, but still), was slacking in his classes, and generally not trying at any aspect of his life.
After about a year of dating, I finally got over it and dumped him. We were in the same group of friends and continued to hang out, and over the years we've developed a strong friendship. He got his act together, finally graduated college, and is now attending grad school and pursuing his dreams. I'm proud of him. Likewise, he's been really supportive of me through the years as well.
Last summer, I was back on the West Coast visiting friends. I had been single for a while, was not feeling particularly connected to anyone, and ended up sleeping with him. It was not expected but we had a good time. Since then, he's been texting me fairly regularly, and sometimes his messages are suggestive. I do text back, but typically am dismissive of the sexual innuendo. I haven't told him that the texts occasionally make me feel uncomfortable.
I've been living on the East Coast for a few years now and he's always talked about how he'd like to visit but can't afford it. Earlier this year, he started talking about visiting again, and I told him it would be great to see him, but I didn't really take his comments seriously. But then he let me know that he went ahead and booked plane tickets to my city -- for a full week in April (he is coming next week).
I am angry that he didn't actually consult me about when it would work for me to have him visit, or whether I was actually comfortable with him staying with me for that amount of time. I'm in school and April is a very busy time for me. I live in a tiny studio and don't have a couch or any other place for him to stay. I know he can't afford to stay in a hotel. I don't know if he has any other friends in the area he can stay with, but I know that he's assuming that he's going to stay with me. He's basically just coming to see me.
To be fair, I've slept on couches at his various homes over the years (and last summer in his bed). Despite my frustrations, he's a good friend of mine and I want to be a gracious host. But at the root of it, I just don't want to sleep with him. I feel guilty that I haven't stopped his flirtatious behavior before now, but I didn't see any harm in it given that we are on different coasts and not headed to be in the same place long term again. I care about Brian a lot and don't want to ruin the friendship. I know that I need to talk to him before he comes and tell him that I don't want to sleep with him and he shouldn't expect anything from me. Do you have any advice for me about how to go about having this conversation?
– how many times do you have to break a heart?, New York
A: Just be honest. It's so easy. You don't even have to be mean. Just say, "I'm excited to see you, Brian, but I'm really busy with school next week. You might have to entertain yourself a lot." Then add, "I want this visit to be platonic. I should have said something earlier, but I'm just not interested in more than a friendship. There will be no sex. I hope that's OK. I'll understand if you want to change your plans because this isn't the vacation you had in mind."
You've been so passive about this relationship. That's on you. You have every right to be annoyed that he booked a trip without consulting you (who does that?), but he has absolutely no idea that you don't like his texts and that you're stressed about his visit. It would be so much easier for both of you if you started telling him how you feel in the moment.
I have to wonder whether you've kept quiet about your feelings because you like having him around as a Plan B or C. Really, if you know he's not for you, you have to stop the flirting. Be clear about your boundaries. Don't leave him guessing.
Also, run out tomorrow and buy a really nice air mattress. This is why air mattresses were invented. There's no reason for Brian to get anywhere near your bed.
Readers? Can she ask him to cancel the trip at this point? What should she tell him? Why hasn't she been more honest? Can they have a friendship? What should happen here? Help her out.

Seed catalogs arrive, garden planning begins
Sunday, January 13, 2013
Although seed catalogs started arriving in my post office box even before the holidays, now is the time when I expect a deluge of colorful catalogs promising me hundreds of kinds of seeds for new/old/flavorful/special plants. I enjoy growing vegetables and flowers from seeds, so I am the kind of sucker those companies love. It's too early to plant things, but now is the time to drool over those catalogs and order some seeds.
I like seed cooperatives that are not out to make their stockholders a lot of money. Fedco Seeds in Maine is one of those, and I have been buying their seeds for decades (www.fedcoseeds.com). I like that they sell seeds in small quantities. Most of us don't need 100 tomato seeds of any one variety.
I shall try the "lichti tomato" from Greta. According to the web site, "They're about the size of a cherry, and taste like a cherry crossed with a tomato. A very pretty and attractive plant that originated in South America, but has been naturalized in many countries. Start plants like you would a tomato." She told me on the phone that the plants have thorns and are quite prickly. On that same page she lists Jaltomato, Greenberry and Miltomato Vallista – all either in the same genus as tomatoes, or closely related to them. All are small fruits, but offer some unusual flavors.
Vesey's website also has a page with a single top pick for each kind of vegetable. I've grown many of them, and think their choices sound good. You can get your order priced in US dollars, which is handy, even though the American and Canadian dollars area nearly equal.

What is a City Directory?
It's the phone book; pre-phones, of course. City directories were printed lists of people in a city and its surrounds, with business advertisements, home addresses, family names and occupations, and information about the city. It is a valuable source for finding families according to their location, occupation, race, and community that can seriously supplement the years between censuses. The following is not a complete description of all city directories everywhere, but it will get you started…
Short History of the Directory
The first city directory was published in Baltimore in 1752 and next in Charleston in 1782. These were compiled by private companies, and had no government regulations guiding their creation or publication. You may find a city with more than one directory in a year, or missing a few years, depending on the success of the company at the time. Large cities and their suburbs are more likely than a small town to have a directory.
What Can I Find in A Directory?
Directories vary over time, depending on the size of the city and sophistication of the company providing the publication. As with all genealogical records, the earlier directories have less information than later ones. You may be able to find:
- Name and address, sometimes birthplace
- Occupations
- Name of wife, adult children, relatives, and boarders in household
- Other persons of same name in city or on the same street – browse by surname AND street name in later directories
- Advertisements for business
- Sometimes death listings for the last year or women listed as "widow"
- Histories and facts about the city and MAPS!
Where Can I Go to Find a City Directory?
There is no one place that will have every city directory in the United States, but the Library of Congress gave it a really good try (www.loc.gov). Not only do they have the largest collection, they have early phone books as well. The best places to start are at the county library or historical society; check the state archive, local university libraries, and state library as well. The trick is that not every directory may be in each place. You may find a few years you need at the historical society and a few more at the state archive. Keep digging! Some may be in their original paper form, and some may be on microfilm. Many places are digitizing their directories: try a Google search for the place plus the word "city directory." Ancestry.com and other places have some online, but don't forget about the vast holdings of the Family History Library: order a microfilm of the directory to come to you at your local Family History Center (https://www.familysearch.org/films/).
Some Hints for Success:
Number one rule of reading any genealogical index: Don't just read the page with your ancestor's name on it – read the introduction and explanations at the front as well. The same goes for city directories. There are some great tidbits of information that could guide your search. For example, in an 1869 Boyd's Directory for Washington DC, it reads "Many of our streets need renumbering, especially 7th, 9th, and F streets, and Pennsylvania and New York avenues. There are squares having duplicate numbers, and in some cases triplicate numbers. In fact, the whole city ought to be renumbered." There are abbreviation tables, maps, city histories, lists of names omitted from the index, and (best of all) sometimes listings of how certain surnames were spelled multiple ways.
You've Got to Try This!
If you haven't cracked open a city directory to find an ancestor before, now is the time. I am working with a client problem right now that I could not be solving without the directories. The ancestor lived in that critical time between 1790 – 1840 when censuses are so limited. In the censuses I found three men named John. In the directories I found six men named John, their occupations ranging from "cordwainer" (shoemaker) to mariner, plus their addresses and other people with the same surname living near them. Put city directories at the top of your research to-do list, and dig a little deeper for those mysterious ancestors!

City employees need to be accountable
Taxes have increased, fees have increased, and services are lackluster. Any private sector employee has to adhere to excellent customer service. Shouldn't we also hold our municipal employees to the same standard? Why is it that it seems like municipal and government employees are not accountable to anyone?
Close the gun-show loophole
I know it's a yearly tradition, but let me be quick to point out that we had our first-ever carjacking attempt in the news (last week), along with an armed robbery, and you can see the picture of the gun used on page A3 of the Journal Tribune on Jan. 9. Also, (a recent) editorial in the Portland Press Herald gives an example of a murder investigation that came to a screeching halt at a gun show sale and remains dormant. And this is just one day's news!
We're living in Archie Bunkerville
The proponents of gun control legislation suggest beginning the discussion with all or many concerns on the table: ways to deal with mental health problems; enforcement of background checks; restrictions on semi-automatic rifles, large-capacity clips and other types of rapid-fire weapons; restrictions on availability, not total bans; keeping guns secure at clubs and ranges; and so on.
It's true that the Second Amendment pronounces the right to bear arms. It doesn't say to hoard them! Having all that firepower really makes one feel safer? I don't understand why. Making everybody else nervous in the neighborhood can only create latent volatility because anxiety will become all to prevalent. Getting along with and respecting one's neighbor would accomplish a lot more.

Qt is a piece of shit walled garden protecting its right to close up the code by the means of CLA. Why should anyone against CA or CLA merge up Qt?
You don't need to sign anything to use, modify or merge QPL, GPL or LGPL code.
I know that you're just trolling, but it's still important to correct this sort of FUD because younger users might not know this and might believe your rabid nonsense.
Qt is a piece of shit walled garden protecting its right to close up the code by the means of CLA. Why should anyone against CA or CLA merge up Qt?
You are free to fork the LGPL version to your heart's content. The only difference is that it won't kill the Qt project like it almost killed udev. So it is the exact opposite of walled garden, because you could continue to use Qt without systemd. Unlike udev.
Qt is licensed under QPL, GPL and LGPL, it can't be a walled garden and anyone can use Qt, study it, modify it, adapt it, distribute it, etc., even if other people don't do the same.
It isn't a "shit" . Qt has quality. For example, it's used in:
- Autodesk Maya [8][9]
- Skype
- VLC media player [10]
- VirtualBox
- Mathematica [11]
- the European Space Agency [12]
- DreamWorks [13][14]
- The Foundry's Nuke [16]
- Lucasfilm [17]

Systemd exposes processes and all their relationships/peculiarities as files in the filesystem,
actually promoting the Unix mantra of "everything is a file".
"timofonic" reminds me a lot about people in Spain :-)
Systemd is not the right place for CA/CLA, several companies has a policy of reluctance towards signing such deals(RH included) and Debian recognizes CA/CLA as harm done to developers. So now now PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP about relevancy.

Both compelling and educational, THE CIN EMPEROR LEE SHIN-MIN is a grand assessment of a political and military genius, and one of China's most civic-minded rulers.

Ellice Henrie Whitney
Funeral services for Ellice Henrie Whitney will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, Sept. 24, at the St. George LDS East Stake Center, 449 S. 300 East, St. George, Utah. Visitation will be held Friday from 9:30-10:30 a.m. at the Stake Center, prior to services. Burial will be at the St. George City Cemetery.
Born Sept. 13, 1924 in Panguitch, Utah to Hilda Vilate Prince and Jeddie Nephi Henrie, Ellice died peacefully at home in St. George on Saturday, Sept. 18, 2010. She was 86.
Ellice grew up in Panguitch then worked in Las Vegas during World War II where she met her eternal love, Howard Grant Whitney, while at a church meeting. Howard was enlisted in the United States Navy at the time and they were married on March 10, 1945 in the St. George Utah LDS Temple. Like so many great women of the time, she watched, waited, wrote letters of support and prayed for the safe return of her husband while he fought in the war.
After the war they moved to St. George. She then finished college in Logan. They moved to Delta, Utah then to Upland, Calif. and then ultimately settled in Lone Pine, where they lived for the next 50 years and raised their family of seven children. Ellice worked for 18 years as a teacher's aide and had a great love for children. In 2006, they moved to St. George to be near the LDS Temple. Ellice's beloved husband Howard passed away in St. George on Aug. 14, 2009 and was buried in the St. George City Cemetery where Ellice will now be by his side in death, as they were in life for 64 years of marriage.
Ellice was also preceded in death by her oldest son, Ralph.
She is survived by her daughters, Lucile and Elyce; sons, Kent, Kim, Joel and David; her brother, Frank; and sister, Vira.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of Metcalf Mortuary, (435) 673-4221. Visit www.metcalfmortuary.com [1] for condolences, complete obituary and funeral listings.

Green Bean and Mushroom Poutine
The next thing that I came across while cleaning out my freezer was some leftover gravy from the pot roast that I made a while ago. As soon as I found the gravy memories of the sweet potato poutine came back and I was craving more. I remembered hearing about a vegetable version of poutine that replaced the fries with other vegetables. I was thinking that this was a good idea and the first thing that came to mind was green beans as they have a shape that is similar to fries. Some sauteed mushrooms sounded like they would finish off the dish nicely. The green bean and sauteed mushroom poutine turned out great! I guess you really can't go wrong with smothering any vegetable with cheese curds and tasty gravy. The green beans make this decadent treat just a bit leas unhealthy than the fries would have been. :)
Green Bean and Mushroom Poutine(makes 2 light meal sized servings or 4 appetizer/side dish sized servings)
Printable Recipe
1 tablespoon butter
8 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
1 pound green beans
1 cup cheese curds
1 cup gravy
1. Melt the butter in a pan.
2. Add the mushrooms and saute until just starting to caramelize, about 10-15 minutes.
3. Add the green beans and saute until tender, about 3-5 minutes. (Or steam the green beans until tender.)
4. Heat the gravy in a pan until boiling.
5. Split the green beans, sauteed mushrooms, cheese curds between two plates and top with the piping hot gravy.

I bought 2 sets for my daughters and they ware absolute delighted over what the sacks content. The product s are both of good quality and beautiful. Both my daughters with husbands tried the comfort strait away next night and gave me their approve: It was one of their better Christmas gifts! However, ,I thought there would be a catch of some kind, sending these big box all the way to Norway for the prices. But no, everything was as promised. Thank to you all at Overstock.com. I really recommend your services and goods to all my friends. Happy new year from Norway, Elsa Marthinsen
Nice set, for some reason I though this piece came with gray sheets, it does come with nice soft white sheets.. and GRAY shams. I like it a lot.
I've been a customer of Overstock for several years; this is the first time I have been disappointed by something I purchased from them. The comforter looked as if a seamstress had been practicing sewing techniques or adjusting the stitch width and tying it out to see if it was wide enough, then adjusting again and practicing again. Perhaps I am being overly critical because I've been very happy with Overstock heretofore.
Not sure if the box was opened during shipment or if it left the warehouse that way! The comforter looks as described, but it also looks as if it was opened and possibly used before. The comforter looked as if it was turned inside out and the bed ruffle was siting half folded on top. I believe it should have been better presented and packaged. The appearance of it makes me want to return it. I'm sadly disappointed!
I was so excited to receive this set. The colors are beautiful. However, the batting in the comforter is not sewn properly and that causes the comforter to get big 'lumps' which takes away from the beautiful print. The sheets are a strange quality but can't expect Egyptian cotton for the price. Will be fine for summer. Fitted sheet does not fit snugly. But I do like having white sheets again.The sham color and bedskirt color is also beautiful. If the batting issue is corrected I think this would be a really great set and would buy another set of a different print from this manufacturer. I will eventually use this in my guest bedroom.
Love the colors. Fabric softer than I thought and like that feature. Stitching a little weird on the comforter but all in all am happy with this purchase.
This came exactly as the picture and was good quality.
I have had great luck with bedding on OS, but this set is very poor quality. The comforter is *very* thin. Has become "lumpy" where the ticking has separated. The sheet set is so thin that I can actual see my mattress pad beneath it. I put it on and took it right off - never used it. Would not recommend this purchase.
The comforter is simply beautiful, but does not have enough stitching in the body of it to hold the stuffing in place while washing. I followed the washing instructions exactly as instructed and it came out with the stuffing missing in places and bunched up in other places. Basically worthless. I'm very disappointed in the quality of this quilt. =(
This is just junk. The sheets are tissue paper this and slick. The comforter looks like a 4 year old sewed it. Threads everywhere....for the price I wouldn't have complained but now I am having real issues with it after washing. It's lumpy but so is the mattress I bought from Overstock. Rethinking buying online.
