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.

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.

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.

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.

Almost a 5 I was having trouble finding twin size duvet covers that aren't childlike (I use two twin duvets on our king-size bed to avert the "quit stealing my covers" debate) and that are in the grey family. I was very pleased to find these duvet covers at a reasonable price. They are very soft, comfortable and attractive. I would gave them a 5-star rating, but one of the covers was not sewn well at the top; there were several holes on the seam where the edges weren't sewn together. Instead of taking the time to return them, I took a couple minutes to run it through the sewing machine. With that being said, the other cover was sewn perfectly. I am pleased with my purchase overall, and the duvet covers are currently residing on our bed.

Hello kelty63, we try to represent the colors of our products accurately.

Hello Renee, unfortunately this item is out of stock. We currently do not have inventory to check, and cannot guarantee the item will be restocked. Thank you for shopping with us.
I would like to purchase the blue duvet but it does not show that KING is available. Do you know when and if you will be offering the blue in King?
Hello AlliMBeli, items are restocked as they become available; however, we cannot guarantee an item will be restocked. Thank you for shopping with us.
Does the Milano duvet cover come out of the dryer with wrinkles (does is require ironing?)
Hello DBK, we can appreciate the fact you want a firsthand account of the product. We will leave the question on site so that others may respond to your question. You will receive an email notification every time you get a response.
Is this product "no iron" or "wrinkle-free"?
Is the same fabric and design on both sides of the duvet cover? Thanks
Hello CBE, this has the same design on both sides. Thanks for shopping with us!
Yes, same both sides. You won't be disappointed with this purchase. I love my set. It is very soft, washes like a dream and fits my full size bed beautifully. I ordered the brown and tan one, and the colors are very nice.
yes, each side goes in a different direction, but that doesn't bother me. you can just flip it over depending on which way you want the print to go. i used the flat sheet for a bed skirt and have the print going down.
Yes, it's the same design on both sides. The fabric is soft, it has a nice feel to it and it really dresses up my bedroom. I have a queen bed but got the king size duvet so it would be longer on the sides to meet the skirt I already had on the bed that goes very well with the duvet.
Yes. The same pattern is one both sides of the duvet. It looks really good on the beds. I ordered two sets of twin and I'm very happy with the outcome.
Can I buy the king duvet cover, but standard shams?
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.
Super easy to stitch or pin in ribbon ties. See Amazon for nice directions on this.
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.
My shams are side to side, i got the twin sized covers, and those are placed upright.
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.
The description lists the Thread Count as a Range of 201 - 500 TC. What items are 500TC and which are 201TC?
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.

FAQs about Duvet Covers
If you have a duvet, make sure you have it covered. Duvet covers are essential for duvet owners, and they're a great option if you're considering new bedding. They're one of the most popular bedding options, and so it's smart to brush up on your duvet cover knowledge before making any purchases for your bedroom. Take a look below for some of the most frequently asked questions about duvet covers.
How to Secure a Duvet Cover
A duvet cover can protect your comforter from dust, spills, and other dirt, but sometimes getting it on and keeping it in place can be tricky. If you've ever fought to get one onto the duvet or struggled to keep your duvet from slipping around in its cover, then you'll want to follow these tips for securing duvet covers.
Duvet Cover Buying Guide
Whether you call them comforter covers or duvet covers, they are the best thing you'll find to keep your comforter (or duvet) stylish as well as clean. Duvet covers are relatively inexpensive, come in a wide variety of styles and colors and can keep your bedding protected and looking great. This duvet covers buying guide provides information on how to buy duvet covers and how to choose the one that is right for you.
How to Maintain Luxury Duvet Covers
One of the best things about duvet covers is that they allow you to keep your duvets fresh and clean without much fuss. Of course, the covers need some maintenance, and the more luxurious they are, the more careful you may need to be. Fortunately, keeping them clean and feeling great isn't difficult. Here's how to maintain your luxury duvet covers.
Popular Duvet Cover Styles and Fabrics
Duvet covers are available in a variety of fabrics and patterns. The right style for your bedroom is a matter of personal taste. When choosing a duvet cover for your comforter, pick out a style that will go well with the furniture and flooring of your bedroom. Duvet covers should also complement the art on your bedroom walls and the window dressing.
What You Need to Know about Duvet Covers
Changing the look of your whole bedroom is easy when you use a duvet cover. Sometimes referred to as comforter covers, they are the best thing you'll find to keep your comforter or duvet stylish as well as clean. Here's what you need to know when you're shopping for one.
How to Secure King-size Duvet Covers
Wrestling a king-size duvet back into its duvet cover after washing is a battle that can require super-human patience and several extra limbs. The enormous area of king-size bedding usually makes washing or changing your duvet cover a two-person chore, but with a few modifications, you can make switching out your king-size duvet cover much simpler. The easiest solution is to create ties that attach to your duvet insert and keep it secure without holes or extraneous metal parts. For instructions on making this bedding alteration, keep reading.
How to Put on a Duvet Cover by Yourself
Putting on a duvet cover is a fast, simple process, even though it may seem potentially troublesome. If you do it correctly, the duvet will lie flat inside the cover, free of wrinkles and bunching. All the process takes is some pulling and shaking; no tricky folding or awkward stuffing is necessary. Fasten the buttons or snaps, and your new duvet cover will be ready for plenty of use. Look below to learn precisely how to put on a duvet cover by yourself.
Duvets vs Down Comforters
A new duvet or down comforter is a fast, easy way to change the look of your bedroom decor. These bed coverings can also keep you warm and toasty on a cold winter's night. Traditionally, the word duvet, a French word meaning "down," was interchangeable with down comforter. Today, however, when most Americans say the word duvet, they are actually referring to a duvet cover. Duvet covers are made to slip over many different types of comforters, whereas a down comforter can be used as a standalone bed covering. Take a look at this article to learn more about the differences between duvets and down comforters.
Benefits of Comforter Covers
Duvet covers, also known as comforter covers, are some of the most popular bedding available today, which shouldn't be surprising. These terrific bedroom staples offer a wide range of benefits. Everyone has a different reason for loving comforter covers. Whether you are looking for style, comfort or convenience, duvet covers can help you meet your goal. Comforter covers are available from a large number of trusted brands in a variety of materials, colors and sizes, meaning there's something in the category for everyone. If you are interested in duvet covers but need a bit of convincing before you take the plunge, take a look at the article below, where you will learn the benefits of comforter covers.
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. For winter months, choose deep, rich colors like burgundy, plum, forest green or chocolate to enhance the room. View All Duvet Covers Back to Guides Directory View All Duvet Covers

Best Pots and Pans
Choosing cookware for your kitchen comes down to what you like to eat. Think about the recipes that you and your family enjoy, and make sure you have the right pot or pan to prepare them. You can cover most needs with a cookware set, but if you won't use all the pieces in the set, that might not be the right choice for you. If you're buying each piece separately, then use this guide as your shopping list.
Pearl Creation Fact Sheet
Pearls are the product of a living creature. Mollusks living in saltwater and fresh water have been forming pearls for over 500 million years. Coveted for their simplicity and color, these organic gems are often set into pearl necklaces, rings, earrings and other jewelry pieces. Unlike gems that evolve from minerals in the earth's crust, pearls begin their creation as a reaction to foreign matter inside a shell-covered mollusk. Pearl jewelry is an homage to the beauty of nature and time.

A set of pretty silver charms will become one of your favorite collections. Charms are small enough to be highly collectible, but intricate enough to express your wide range of interests.

Your silver jewelry should sparkle and jingle with a variety of pretty little charms. Consider these tips before buying a collection of silver charms and charm jewelry.

How to Store a Patio Umbrella for Winter
When summer winds down, it's time to start thinking about clearing off the patio. Begin by putting away patio furniture before winter sets in. Typically, patio furniture and table covers do the job. However, if patio umbrellas are stored incorrectly, mold and mildew can grow on them, leading to an unpleasant surprise the following spring when you want to set them back outside.
Duvets Buying Guide
With so many different brands and styles of duvets available, learning a little bit them will help you find one that is perfect for your bed. "Duvet" is simply another word for "down comforter." Here's what you need to know about down comforter fabrics, fill, and construction.

Yes, I am quite familiar with the bogus Nova story....precisely why I added my note regarding the origin of the Enco story. It was some 30 years ago, and as I mentioned, there was no Internet to perpetuate a story like that. Besides, I just feel in my heart of guts that Paul Harvey would not have broadcast a bogus story. But, then I was but a mere child at the time and could have misunderstood the whole thing.....

Posts: 13803 I did look up enko in a Japanese-English dictionary this morning. Didn't have time to make a detailed research attempt. What I *did find didn't look all that problematic. Don't remember what it was.
The internet didn't create urban legends; it just makes them easier to propagate. They used to get passed around on mimeographed sheets. POSH from Port Out Starboard Home predates the internet by many a year.
I think I heard the Nova story around thirty years ago, too, for that matter.

Quebec gets more in transfer payments from Canada than it pays into the federal coffers. Yet, Quebecers keep bringing up independence every now and then. The rest of Canada would be richer without Quebec. And, the bilingualism has cost Canadians aplenty. Everything costs more in Canada than the US - even identical items.
Poorer States that dream of independence should take note.
ya? even medicine? Bilingualism is a blessing. I would love to live in a country were the environment pushes children to learn two languages from childhood.
What is the actual support now for Quebec independence?
I thought it has been diluted by a rising immigrant population that is more keen on Canadian citizenship (some nasty blame game comes to mind in the 1990s), as well as due to opposition by certain indian groups?
Also, wasn't it made clear that they would not automatically become a member of NAFTA?
Otherwise the Quebec has much hydropower, and Montreal is a great city. Still seems like an asset to Canada after all is said and done (worth keeping).
All very strange to see one of the most advanced societies in the world have secession controversy kind of hanging out there all these years (since the 1970s?)

Some people might disagree with me, but I don't really see this as shocking. Let's talk Wayland in Ubuntu terms:
Ubuntu 12.10: no Wayland
Ubuntu 13.04: maybe some XWayland usage with open source drivers
Ubuntu 13.10: now XWayland should definitly be included for open source drivers
Ubuntu 14.04: no change because it's an LTS release
Ubuntu 14.10: first possibility of using Wayland completely without Xorg (XWayland)
So it's not as if Wayland is just around the corner anyway. They will change their minds in a year or two.

A simply gorgeous logo that makes perfect use of textures and shapes to create a strong mark. I particularly like the sense of perspective and clever use of white space.
Posted in Branding → LogoA simply excellent logo for an upcoming t-shirt company. I love the intriguing design of the type and subtle hints of symmetry. The wood textured background helps to add depth and character to the design.
Posted in Branding → LogoA solid site for a PR agency that uses a strong colour palette to make a statement. I particularly like the effective use of red on black and the typography of the logo.
Posted in Web Design → CorporateA brutally simple logo that's an interesting example of personal branding. The clean lines and basic nature of its structure help to make it memorable. I like the flow of the design and the relatively unique way the logo uses this particular designer's initials.
Posted in Branding → LogoA simply perfect logo for an art project for children. I love the concept and detailed execution. The typeface isn't entirely to my taste, but it works for this kind of project.
Posted in Branding → LogoA solid site that makes an immediate impact. I really like how strong the logo is and the use of orange to highlight specific design details. The grid layout below works well to give visitors the information they need.

Posted in Branding → LogoA decidedly simple logo that's effective on its own terms. The bright colours create quite a stark contrast, and certainly make you look.
Posted in Branding → LogoA stunning logo mark that makes an immediate, and powerful, impression. I love the layers of thought that have gone into making various s shapes stand out. The blue colour of the background works perfectly with the white mark.
Posted in Branding → LogoA simple but effective logo for a clothing site called Cloth Hill. I like the way the white works on the yellow background and the use of shapes. Using very basic shapes and ideas, a clear picture is formed in your mind - something that is very effective at making a design memorable.
Posted in Branding → LogoA simple but purely effective logo that avoids complex lines and shapes. I like the minimal lines of the mark, and the evident imagery. The typeface fits perfectly with the nature of the shapes that form the logo mark.
Posted in Branding → LogoThis logo is just so clean and fresh it makes an immediate statement! I love the selection of typefaces and the interesting combination of colours. It's recognisable and gives you exactly the right impression about this designer.
Posted in Branding → LogoA fascinatingly extensive branding project for a Bar Mitzvah. This dad went to town following his sons desire for a green Bar Mitzvah. I really like the ensuing logo and various different but effective iterations of it.
Posted in Branding → LogoA solid and uncompromising logo for a clothing brand. I like the immediate air of class and style that comes across in this logo. The colour palette really works, the blue perfectly complimenting the faded gold of the mark.

Mets look to turn page in May with Gee on hill
Seeking first sweep of season, Marlins counter with LeBlanc
Following a pair of walk-off wins -- including a game-winning wild pitch on Tuesday night -- the Marlins clinched their first series victory of the season. On Wednesday afternoon, they'll be going for their first sweep of the year and their first sweep of the Mets since September 2010.
A once-promising April went south quickly for the Mets, who head into May with a six-game losing streak. A loss Wednesday to the last-place Marlins would make for a very quiet flight to Atlanta.
Wade LeBlanc gets the ball for Miami looking to snap a personal losing streak that has spanned his last seven decisions. In fact, LeBlanc hasn't picked up a win since Aug. 22.
In his last time out, the left-hander gave up two homers to Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo, but those dingers cost him four runs in his six innings.
"I'm just staying the course," LeBlanc said. "Stay aggressive. Stay positive. At a point like this, that's all you can do. I've made mistakes that have gotten punished. But for the most part, I've executed pitches that have just found holes.
"That's part of the game. Once you make a pitch, that's all you can focus on. I think for the most part this year, I've done a pretty good job of that. I'm going to just try to carry that over and hopefully things turn around."
LeBlanc will be contending with a Mets lineup that has struggled mightily in key situations recently. During the current skid, New York is 4-for-41 with runners in scoring position.
Opposite LeBlanc will be Mets right-hander Dillon Gee, who was done in by a rough sixth inning in his last time out. Gee shut the Phillies out for five frames last week, but to start the sixth, he allowed three straight singles, followed by a home run by Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard.
"The changeup was there most of the night," said Gee after the loss. "If I would've executed a pitch, it probably would've been a bit different. If you don't execute, that's what happens."
Mets: Wright makes return to lineup
• Mets captain David Wright sat out Monday's game with a stiff neck, though he did make a pinch-hit appearance in the 13th inning. He was in the lineup on Tuesday after stating his case to manager Terry Collins.
"It's going to be a decision that he has to make along with us of, 'Are we sacrificing five more days if he plays and it gets worse?" Collins said before Tuesday's game. "Or is it going away, and it's not going to get worse?'"
Wright went 0-for-4 with a strikeout on Tuesday and is hitting .291.
Marlins: Ozuna makes MLB debut
• Prospect Marcell Ozuna, 22, made his Major League debut Tuesday night after being called up to replace the injured Giancarlo Stanton, who will be out at least three to four weeks with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain.
"When I received the call, I was very excited," Ozuna said. "I didn't sleep."
Ozuna, who batted sixth and played right field, went 1-for-3, picking up his first-career hit in the fifth inning. The club's No. 6 prospect was hitting .333 in 10 games for Double-A Jacksonville.
Worth noting
• The Mets are 80-80 all-time against the Marlins in Miami.
• In 12 at-bats against Gee, Miami's Placido Polanco is hitting .167 without an extra-base hit.
• The Marlins' bullpen has combined to go 3-2 with a 2.01 ERA in its last 11 home games.

Video Road Test: BMW S1000RR
Article Summary
Like it or not, most motorcycle brands have a reputation for attracting a certain type of rider. In the case of the BMW rider, the stereotype has a definite touch of the "sensible grandpa" about it ... at least, that's how things worked until recently. For the last five or so years, the German manufacturer has been releasing a bunch of bikes that can actually deliver seriously good fun - albeit in a sensible kind of way. But there's nothing sensible about the bomb they dropped in 2010 with the release of the S1000RR. In our latest video road test, Loz Blain and Noel McKeegan cash in their pension checks and climb aboard the formidable BMW superbike.

School district needs committee members
Alicia KnadlerArticles about possible school closures in local newspapers, paragraphs in school newsletters, emails and messages — they all add up to what seems like indifference in some communities.
Recruitment efforts for Local Community Advisory Committees have not been very successful.
There were two applicants in Indian Valley, where rumors about school closure have been rampant for decades.
There was at least one interested person in Quincy, reported administrative assistant Patty McCutcheon, and none for either Chester or Portola.
The Plumas Unified School District superintendent shrugged his shoulders over the issue during the Tuesday, Nov. 8, board meeting.
The committees give residents the opportunity to be involved before decisions are made about school closures.
Time is short: less than two months are left before the board will need recommendations.
The committees will review recommendations from district administration and the Facilities Advisory Committee.
Those who decide they are interested enough to work for a few short weeks on a local committee are urged to submit a letter of interest by Friday to Patty McCutcheon in the Superintendent's Office, 50 Church St. in Quincy.
The letter should contain details of how the person's personal and/or professional experience would be beneficial to the board.
Appointments will be made during the December meeting.

Carlos and Cecilia were both straight-A students in middle school. But now that they're in high school, Carlos finds himself relying on Cecilia's notes to do well on tests. He also finds himself wondering how Cecilia manages to take such good notes.
Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well on all your schoolwork — everything from taking tests to researching a paper. But unfortunately, most schools don't have classes that teach you how to take notes. So here are some tips.
Write down key facts. If you have a teacher who writes notes on the board, that's a bonus: You can copy them down. If not, write down the most important points from class. Does your history teacher mention the date of a key Civil War battle? Does your English teacher give examples of Shakespeare's use of dramatic irony? Does your math teacher go over a particular formula? Write it down!
It can take some experimenting to figure out what information really is helpful, so keep trying and don't give up. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may mention lots of dates and facts in class but only write the key ones on the board. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat a certain date or piece of information. That's a clue that it's probably important. After a while, you'll get to know a teacher's style.
Don't overdo it. Don't go crazy taking notes, though: You'll be frantic if you try to write down every word that's said in class. And if you focus too much on getting your notes right, you might miss important points. Some people actually learn better by listening, writing down a few key points, and then going over the material after class when they have more time.
Ask. Don't be afraid to ask the teacher to repeat something you miss. If the teacher's going too fast, chances are your classmates will also be relieved to hear the information again. If you don't want to ask in class, see your teacher afterwards. It's much easier than wondering if you got the notes right as you study.
Compare. Keep your notes handy when you're doing your reading assignments. Compare what you wrote with what the readings say — you may even want to add to your notes as you read.
Going over your notes with a friend and comparing what the two of you put down can help reinforce what you're learning. It also can help you remember information when it's time for the test. And going over your notes will alert you and your friend to any errors.
Copy. Depending on how neat your handwriting is, you may want to recopy your notes when you get home. If you've taken notes in a hurry, you're more likely to figure out an unreadable word or sentence on the day of the lesson than you are weeks later when you look back over your notes in preparation for a test.
Organize. Keep notes for each subject in one place so you can find everything easily when it comes time for a test. That may mean keeping a notebook or section of a notebook for each subject as you take notes in class.
Some people combine the copying technique with organization by using just one notebook for class notes and then copying these notes into a notebook for each subject when they get back home. The trick to making this technique work is to be sure you actually do it regularly. If you don't, your notes will be all over the place and things will get totally crazed when it's time to study for the test.
Good note-taking requires extra time and organization. It may help if you think of the time you spend reviewing notes as an investment. For example, if you decide to recopy your notes each evening, you'll probably have less time to watch TV or IM friends. But you'll save time later when it comes to studying for the actual test.
Note-taking gives your mind a chance to absorb the material it needs to learn. Not only can this help you to do better on a test, it's also a great confidence booster when you're studying and find yourself saying, "Hey, I remember that!"

I specialize in the care of patients with Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. I am Clinical Director of the Division of Hematologic Oncology and I am board-certified in internal medicine, medical oncology, and hematology. Recognizing that advances in medicine come about as a result of clinical research, I am the Principal Investigator for a number of clinical trials aimed at improving the care of patients with lymphoma. The findings of several of the clinical trials I have led have changed the international standard of care.
My research has focused on improving the outcome of patients with poor-risk diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). This effort has been conducted along two tracks. One effort is focused on improving therapy for patients with disease that has returned or is not responding to standard therapy (refractory disease), through the use of high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation as well as new agents that can be incorporated into such "salvage" therapy.
A second approach involves developing strategies to optimize the treatment of newly diagnosed DLBCL according to the likelihood of their disease recurring ("risk-adapted therapy"), using what we have learned by studying patients with relapsed or refractory disease. We design risk-adapted therapy according to a patient's risk factors before treatment (clinical, molecular, or pathologic features of the disease) and the results of imaging studies.

@clouise71as @flaminghammerstated, your background is irrelevant to the story. What is relevant are the facts, and I have not read one thing that disputes anything in the article. The only fact you provided was the data from the SBA website (good job on browsing the web.) See if you can find any facts on business closure with the person who has fiduciary responsibility takes all the money for personal use and not for company growth (and still doesn't pay vendors or employees). BTW that is called a con.
The fact he owes so much money in court settlements (probably over $500k) he'll need to make millions to do this. He had plenty of opportunities to run a legitimate business, but as stated in the article, he has only left a trail of lawsuits and very angry investors and employees. The best quote was from AN ATTORNEY - "He's a con man," McDonough says of Mathison. "That's not my opinion. That's an adjudicated fact."
And how you can argue that pleading guilty IN CRIMINAL COURT to theft is somehow not correlated to a conviction is ludicrous.
So from now on - please only send proven facts that dispute anything in the article. Otherwise, get a hold of the 7 embassies of the countries you supposedly lived in, and get Mathison a one way ticket there. That would make America a much better place for all of us to live.

I bought this camera because it had some good reviews and because of the Canon name. It is a rugged, reliable camera with many great features. The telephoto lens is great. The camera feels good in your hands and is compact without being too compact. I think this will be the last camera that I will ever buy.
Bought this camera to replace 5+ yr old Pentax. This camera is easy to learn, operate, and price is reasonable. Picture quality is very good and easy to upload to device of your choice. I think anyone who buys this camera will be pleased with quality and price.
My goal was to have a camera that was compact enough for travel and had the ability to take great quality, even with zoom. Wow! Canon did it and did not break the bank!
Great price and quick shipping made a really nice gift. so far camera seems to be working fine. Thanks !!!
This is A+ in my book. I have had Cannon products before and I like it and I will continue to buy Cannon in the future.
Takes great pictures indoors or outdoors, great zoom features. Took pictures of my sons Marine graduation and the person behind me was amazed at how much better my pictures were than hers and her camera cost 3 times as much. Highly recommend.
I did not like the quality of the pictures. I own a canon that is an older version and the pictures look better. I did not like that it uses 2AA batteries vs rechargable batteries. Overall not a good purchase
The camera performs well and th digital zoom has been a great feature to have. The flash doesn't always get used when it should.
Probably took great pictures, but I didn't want that battery set up. I don't think the batteries last long enough

Background Note | HBS Case Collection | November 2014 (Revised February 2015) Mental Health and the American Workplace John A. Quelch and Carin-Isabel Knoop Mental illness has been described as an epidemic affecting nearly a quarter of all Americans in their lifetimes, often during their most productive working years. Managers who can design organizations that maximize mental health can minimize these risks and boost productivity. This note serves as a guide to understanding mental health in the American workplace. It provides an overview of the most prevalent mental health conditions among employees and the aspects of the work environment that can exacerbate the issues. It also looks at the costs, both to individuals and to companies, of treating or not treating mental health conditions, and outlines the legal framework, insurance plans, and managerial responses to accommodating employees who struggle with mental health issues. To engage students in a role play, the note includes a vignette featuring a struggling CEO.

Case | HBS Case Collection | October 2013 (Revised January 2015) The Slingshot: Improving Water Access John A. Quelch, Margaret L. Rodriguez and Carin-Isabel Knoop In 2012, over 750 million people around the globe lacked access to safe drinking water. Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway, sought to bring fresh water to poor and rural areas with the Slingshot, a water purification device. Kamen's challenge was to identify ways to distribute the Slingshot to areas where it was most needed. A partnership with the Coca-Cola Company helped Kamen to pilot distribution of the Slingshot in low-access regions.

Case | HBS Case Collection | May 2013 (Revised October 2014) Novartis: Leading a Global Enterprise William W. George, Krishna G. Palepu and Carin-Isabel Knoop Novartis, the world's leading healthcare company, was formed in 1996 out of a merger of two very different, mid-tier Switzerland-based pharma companies. The case traces the company's evolution over the past 17 years, as it transformed into a truly global enterprise with 127,000 employees of 153 nationalities in 140 countries generating $56.7 billion in 2012 revenues and $9.6 billion in net income, making the firm one of the world's largest and most profitable companies. CEO since 2010, Joe Jimenez had taken over from one of the merger's architects and visionary legacy CEO Daniel Vasella. He recognized that the global health care environment would create severe challenges for Novartis in the years ahead and that Novartis needed to make sure it had the right strategy, structure, talent and spirit to live up to its ambitions.

Aramis to rejoin Brewers in opener with Cubs
Jackson coming off strong start; Peralta faces Chicago for fifth time
While the top three teams in the National League Central battle for the division crown, the Cubs and Brewers are stuck on the outside looking in at the pennant race.
Both teams are more than 20 games out of first place, and their hopes of making a run at the NL Central title have faded long ago. On Monday, the clubs will open up a four-game set at Miller Park as the Brewers continue their 10-game homestand, which they opened by taking two of three from the Reds.
Milwaukee will welcome the return of third baseman Aramis Ramirez on Monday after he missed two straight games with a bruised left wrist. Ramirez suffered the injury on Friday, when Mat Latos hit him with a fastball in the first inning.
Before Sunday's finale against the Reds, Ramirez and Brewers manager Ron Roenicke agreed one more day of rest was a good idea.
"You're talking about a wrist and a hand, and that's different than getting banged up somewhere else," Roenicke said. "If you try to swing the bat with that, it's really difficult. So, hopefully tomorrow we get him back in there."
Ramirez has played in only 81 games this year, spending much of the season battling a left knee injury. But with Corey Hart out for the year and Ryan Braun suspended, the Brewers need Ramirez's power more than ever. After leading the National League with 202 homers last season, Milwaukee has hit just 142 round-trippers with two weeks left to play in 2013.
"You want to be out there for your teammates and everybody," said Ramirez, who has hit 10 home runs this season. "We're not in the race or anything, but you want to finish strong, feeling good about yourself."
Ramirez and the Brewers will face Cubs starter Edwin Jackson, who bounced back from a string of forgettable starts last Tuesday by holding the Reds to one run on nine hits. The 30-year-old right-hander went seven innings, marking his longest outing since he gave up just one run in eight innings against the Brewers on July 31.
That outing capped a strong July for Jackson, who followed it up by going 0-4 with a 5.88 ERA in his next six starts. Chicago lost all six of those games.
Jackson said the key to getting back to being the pitcher he was in July on Tuesday was pounding the zone, as he threw 68 of his 98 pitches for strikes.
"These last four or five starts, I have been just the opposite," Jackson said. "I was behind in the count a lot and not able to make pitches. Just fortunate enough tonight to come out and be able to make some pitches in some key situations and get a lot of run support to back it up."
Brewers: Peralta takes mound, hopes for run support
Milwaukee will open the series against Chicago with right-hander Wily Peralta on the mound. It will be Peralta's fifth start against the Cubs this season. He went 1-2 with a 3.86 ERA in the previous four outings, not accounting for the six unearned runs Chicago has plated against Peralta this season.
Since the All-Star break, Peralta has been a frequent victim of minimal run support. The Brewers have scored just three runs or fewer in nine of his last 10 starts, including one or no runs in five of those games. Peralta has gone 2-6 in those 10 starts, with Milwaukee going 3-7.
"It's sometimes hard," Peralta said. "Because you have to be pretty much, like, perfect."
Cubs: Rizzo, Castro showing growth
The season-long struggles of Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro continued on Sunday, as the Cubs first baseman and shortstop combined to go 0-for-6 with a strikeout.
Rizzo enters this week's series against the Brewers batting .229 with 75 RBIs and 22 homers, while Castro owns a .240 average to go with 40 RBIs and nine homers. Still, hitting coach James Rowson has seen growth in both players this season.
For Rizzo, Rowson said the 24-year-old has been dealing with the difficulties of playing his first full season in the Majors.
"You look at some of the more experienced players in this league, players who have dominated, and they've had 30, 35, 40 at-bats against the same guys," Rowson said. "As you start learning how you're being pitched and seeing the same guys, we expect more progress there. For his first full season in the big leagues, I think he's done a nice job overall."
Rowson said Castro has started to be more selective at the plate, as he's watching more pitches per plate appearance.
"As far as Starlin goes, we've gone through a few phases with him," Rowson said. "It's tough, and it was tough early on. He's shown some good signs of late. I think he learned a lot about himself. He had to go through some tough situations for him, but we've accomplished some things."
Worth noting
• Heading into the final four meetings of the year between the Cubs and Brewers, Milwaukee holds a 5-10 advantage in the season series.
• The Brewers enter Monday's game 13-14 in a stretch in which they play 32 of 35 games against NL Central opponents.
• The Cubs continue a season-long 11-game road trip on Monday. Chicago went 3-4 to start the trip.

45a- The Book of Revelation (Chapter 2:9f) - Billy Crone - Ministry Videos
2499 views
These videos on the Book of Revelation are an in-depth verse-by-verse study in the original Greek. They exist to offset one of the saddest trends in the American Church today, that is, a departure from the clear teaching of Bible Prophecy. You see, prophecy has a way of getting our eyes off of this world and onto Jesus for we see that this world is not going to last forever. Hence, we start living to store up treasures in heaven and not on this earth. We begin to see the futility of living for this world. Also, prophecy has a way of driving home the important truth of God's sovereignty. He is in full control at all times. So much so that God has already mapped out mankind's history and only the student of Bible Prophecy can rightly discern the times in which we live. And what a comfort it is to know that we belong to this same God Who is Sovereign over all and thus can take comfort knowing that nothing enters the sphere of our lives without His divine permission. People, Jesus is coming back! There's no doubt about it. It's time we get prepared by getting back to the clear teaching of Bible Prophecy!

On the occasion of December 3, the United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities, with the theme, "Removing barriers to create an inclusive and accessible society for all," Brown University announces the release of a new report entitled, "Special Olympics: An Emerging Player in the Sport for Development Field".
(Providence/Washington DC, December 3, 2012) On the occasion of December 3, the United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities, with the theme, "Removing barriers to create an inclusive and accessible society for all," Brown University is pleased to announce the release of a new report entitled, "Special Olympics: An Emerging Player in the Sport for Development Field", outlining the sport for development initiatives of Special Olympics. The report was prepared by Kasey Haas, a Royce Sport and Society Fellow and a senior at BrownUniversity, as part of a broader collaboration between Special Olympics and Brown University's Sport and Development Project. The report traces the development of Special Olympics from its origins to the present anddiscusses the sport for development programs of Special Olympics in the fields of health, community integration, and advocacy.Special Olympics was founded in 1968 under the leadership of Eunice Kennedy Shriver in an effort to create an opportunity for people with intellectual disabilities to be integrated into society and participate in sport. Today,Special Olympics serves over 4 million people with intellectual disabilities in 170 countries, 70% of which reside in the developing world. With the expansion and diversification of its athletes, Special Olympics programminghas grown to meet the larger needs of the population it serves. Special Olympics has evolved from a sports organization to a sport for development organization that uses the power of sport to increase social inclusion andprovide access to resources such as health care and education.Because people with intellectual disabilities remain one of the most marginalized populations in the world, development initiatives often fail to reach them. Sport is a universal language that convenes people from diverse backgrounds and bridges social divides, making it an excellent tool to connect and empower marginalized groups. Special Olympics programs such as Healthy Athletes, Healthy Communities, Unified Sports, and Athlete Leadership Programs utilize sport to ensure that the athletes that participate in Special Olympics are not only guaranteed their right to sport, but also other basic human rights.This report signals the launch of a new partnership between Special Olympics International and Brown University's Sport and Development Project. The Sport and Development Project at Brown works with academic and community partners to better understand how sport can be utilized to improve the human condition on a local and global scale. As Special Olympics continues to emphasize its sport for development agenda, the two organizations will work closely to increase awareness about these programs and the role sport can play in promoting humanitarian and development objectives, particularly for marginalized groups such as people withintellectual disabilities.To access the full report click here.

Cute piece of Junk
I thought this was very cute, but the legs come right out of the base, and it tips over. We have not been able to use it, and will need to have some type of adhesive to hold it together. It is so heavy and large to return, so we will see what we can eventually do to make it usable. I am really disappointed in this item. I will hesitate to make further purchases from Bombay.

A dirty, sweaty vagina that is potentially also moistened by arousal but not always. Swampvag usually occurs in girls who haven't showered or had sex and didn't clean up afterward. It's most noticeable in rooms with little to no ventilation and on hot days.

When you're attaching the pull-up bar, the instructions will tell you to use washers that you are out of. This is where you use the curved washers that the instructions don't call for. I put the whole thing together before I realized that. : \ I think it tells you to use washers "26", but you need "27". Oh and make sure you attach the push-up bars on the bottom, facing in the right direction-tall end toward the center. Oops. Great product!
this is an excellent machine for working out you can do back chest arm abs in 1 small station i get an excellent workout from buy 1
Very easy to assemble by just looking at the pictures with just one person. Two is better but I like solo. Only missing one nut. No damage during shipping. It took me about 1.5 hours with breaks to complete the assembly. I am 180 lbs and I have no problems with it. I suggest wearing weight lifting gloves to do dips and pullups because the handles are hard plastic. Other than that I love this piece. I'm gonna put some cushioned flooring under it to make it more steady than on solid concrete. The padding isn't bad but good enough since I'm the only one using it. I recommend it for a home gym only. I really needed a power tower but didn't want to spend over $*** and this one was just $*** with free shipping. Came very fast as well.
I bought this to do my ab workout on for I can no longer do floor ab exercises. It is ultra stable and works well for me.
I have always wanted one of these but it was horrendous to assemble. Plus it was dirty and rusted in places when it came out of the box. It bends when my 170lb husband uses it. Luckily I bought this for myself, unluckily it is too wide for me to use properly. There is no way to narrow it at all to make it easier for me to use. At least the price was decent.
I am a 40 year old mom with two young kids, and I wanted something I could work out my abs with while the kids played in the garage. This is perfect. I put it all together myself in about 2 hours. It came complete. The instructions were pretty self explanatory . Very stable and sturdy.
It was shipped very quickly, very well packed and it was quite easy to assemble. Once armed, tried it and we loved how tough it is, gives us security, how good looks and small space it needs (we thought would occupy a very large space) We have been using it for a few weeks and the results have been very good . We're really happy with the product
The equipment was easy to put together with a socket set. As I stated before; it was opened before and missing a few nuts and the back cushion was stained. This was not a big deal. So far the equipment is working out well.
I am very pleased with this product. It is well built and fun to work out on. Can tell that it works.

I can do that with dmenu in any WM/DE, not really a Gnome feature.
You can easily add application launchers to the panel. Or use something like cairo-dock, AWN, .... Or even easier, just use keyboard shortcuts for your favorite applications, so you don't even have to reach for the mouse.And alternatively it's also very easy to click on a application in the favorite bar to open it.
Come on, you prefer Gnome over KDE because you don't like the default theme? Really? Who really uses the default themes?KDE and it's default applications are also pretty ugly compared to gnome 3. Compare this to this. What looks uglier?
So far I can see nothing that can't be done with other DEs/WMs.
